10659Ah,--but your name?
10659And a man with strong desires, you say, might change?
10659And he brings no kind of introduction to me-- no letter or anything?
10659And the cure?
10659And this solidity?
10659And what do you make of it all?
10659And where is the gentleman now?
10659And who brought him here?
10659And you do n''t think father has heard it either, then?
10659Are_ you_ real?
10659Bruder Asmodelius accepts you,they whispered;"are you ready?"
10659But how, in the name of space, is that to be done?
10659But the torn tent and the wounded flesh?
10659But what have I to do with this Bruder Asm-- Asmo--?
10659But what makes you think the creature is starved?
10659But why in the hall, Barker? 10659 But, how is it possible?"
10659Did I dream everything-- everything?
10659Did he frighten you?
10659Do you know what it is, Hubbard, this beast?
10659Has sufficient material drawn from the depleted body to produce physical results? 10659 Haunted?"
10659How can it be possible? 10659 How is this concentration to be effected?"
10659I can hardly believe--"You have not heard, then?
10659I heard nothing,he whispered;"what in the world do you think it is?
10659In time,I put in,"you mean a man living here might become brutal?"
10659In what way?
10659Is n''t it a mercy the doctor was here?
10659Is the Camp asleep?
10659It has changed?
10659Joan injured?
10659Joan?
10659John Silence,I said,"will know--""You think it''s something-- of that sort?"
10659No one has been actually injured so far?
10659Of course not; why should I?
10659Safer, Joan?
10659Sitting in the dark?
10659So the gentleman made you feel queer, did he?
10659Surely there can be no question of this poor starved beast injuring anybody, can there?
10659The dog again?
10659The fundamental fact in this most curious case,he went on,"is that the''Double''of a man--""You mean the astral body?
10659Then is n''t that the best way to cure the fool-- the brute--?
10659Then it might even kill?
10659Then you actually penetrated far enough into that state to experience yourself as a normal portion of it?
10659Through what?
10659Walking in her sleep, you mean?
10659Was I so utterly deluded?
10659What do you mean?
10659Where has he gone to? 10659 Why''extraordinary''?"
10659Why''extraordinary,''Barker?
10659You have not heard what happened there before it was abandoned--?
10659You heard those footsteps about half an hour ago?
10659You mean his Subtle Body, as you call it, might issue forth automatically in deep sleep and seek the object of its desire?
10659You mean that if this fluid animal thing, or whatever it is, should be prevented getting back, the man might never wake again?
10659You mean,said Harris, a little puzzled,"the disturbing memories--?"
10659You really know very little about it, then?
10659You still have the boys''orchestra? 10659 You''ve not heard anything at night yourself, have you?"
10659And the piece itself, although Harris did not recognise it as anything familiar, was surely the music of a Mass-- huge, majestic, sombre?
10659And why, he suddenly thought again, were they so impressed by the mere fact of his coming to revisit his old school?
10659As in the case at hand, he may not know it--""It is not necessarily deliberate, then?"
10659Been setting the night- lines, eh?
10659But in any case it is not wise to leave precipitately--""Oh, Timothy, does he think it''s a devil--?"
10659But what did"_ Opfer_"mean?
10659Can it be a porcupine?"
10659Can you understand what it is you''re doing in your''Body of Desire''?"
10659Could this be his son?
10659Do you know me?
10659Eh?"
10659Had he blundered into it at all?
10659Had he not rather been led into it, deliberately led?
10659How had he blundered into so equivocal a situation?
10659In this little place of peaceful dreams would he, perhaps, not cut something of a figure?
10659Is n''t it, perhaps, something of that kind?"
10659Now, do you think you can help me with_ that_?"
10659What are they?"
10659What could it all mean?"
10659What did it all mean?
10659What then?"
10659What was it they so admired and wondered at in his simple act?
10659Who''ll second me?"
10659Why not in the waiting- room?"
10659You mean that the Double--?"
10659_ Opfer, Opfer, Opfer!_ What in the name of heaven did it mean, that strange, mysterious word that struck such terror into his heart?
10659and then-- but how in the world describe what is indescribable?
10659gasped Mrs. Maloney,"a phenomenon?--you mean that you know what it is?"
10659he asked presently, after a general pause;"this tearing of tents and flesh; this howling, and the marks of paws?
10659he asked, looking hard at him;"haunted, did you say?"
17762And the girl,asked Manning,"what became of her?"
17762Are you quite sure about that?
17762Are you sure about this?
17762Ca n''t you introduce me?
17762Can I do anything for you this morning?
17762Can you describe him?
17762Can you tell me the name of this hackman?
17762Can you tell the spot where you disposed of this sack?
17762Did Mr. Pearson recognize you on that occasion?
17762Did Mr. Pearson tell you who he was, or explain his presence there at that time?
17762Did he mention any particular point on the railroad that he wanted a ticket for?
17762Did he say what he intended doing there, or whether he was going on out to Denver?
17762Did he say who assisted him in this robbery?
17762Did her husband go away, too?
17762Did his wife go with him?
17762Do the people in the house know where he is?
17762Do you feel confident that you would be able to identify him, if you were to see him again?
17762Do you know Tod?
17762Do you know her?
17762Do you know whether he is in town now?
17762Do you know which way he was going?
17762Do you know which way he went?
17762Do you know who the man was that he went away with?
17762Do you think these stage robbers, as a rule, are disposed to kill anybody?
17762Does she think they have anything to do with her?
17762Ever had any adventure with them yourself?
17762Excuse me,interrupted the detective,"but were you present at the time the robbery occurred?"
17762Has he been here recently?
17762Have they separated?
17762Have you any idea where he was going?
17762Have you any idea which way he went?
17762Have you ever been bothered with robbers or highwaymen along this route?
17762Have you had breakfast, sir? 17762 Have you said anything to Mr. Pearson about this?"
17762He appeared to be doubtful, and simply said,''Is that so?''
17762How did you extricate yourself from this dilemma?
17762How long did Duncan remain in town at that time?
17762How long did he stay here?
17762How much money did Duncan have at that time?
17762How so?
17762I may say, however, that the man we came for was William R. Amos; do you know anything about such a person?
17762In what respect?
17762Is Edwards stopping here now?
17762Is Mr. Edwards residing with you?
17762Let us hear it, wo n''t you?
17762May I ask who you were waiting to meet?
17762Mr. Pearson,inquired the detective, after the young man had concluded,"do you remember having seen either of those men before?"
17762Now tell us how much money you took from the bank, and how it was divided?
17762Now, what do you desire first?
17762Surely, you have no reference to my friend, Newton Edwards?
17762That''s the case with most of you, is n''t it?
17762That''s very strange, is n''t it?
17762Well, has he been here within two weeks?
17762Well, he was on quite a spree, I believe-- and so he went to Des Moines, did he?
17762Well, sir, what can I do for you to- day?
17762What became of the other two?
17762What do you mean?
17762What do you mean?
17762What do you mean?
17762What do you think of this?
17762What has become of the young lady?
17762What is it?
17762What kind of a suit did he get?
17762What makes you think so?
17762What makes you think so?
17762What would you have done if they had made the attempt?
17762What''s his first name-- Bob?
17762When did you see them together again?
17762Where are we going?
17762Where did you and Duncan separate after the robbery?
17762Where is Mr. Duncan now, do you know?
17762Which one of the men attacked you?
17762Who have you got?
17762Who was this man whom you procured to help you?
17762Why should he seek to conceal this?
17762Will you be kind enough to inform me,said Robert, when this was completed,"how you come to have so much money about you?"
17762Would you object to giving me a small piece of it as a sample? 17762 Would you object to telling me what they are?"
17762You are making an early start, I see; are you busy?
17762You are quite sure about this?
177621 50 How Could He Help it?
17762After he had finished, William inquired:"Was there no other sack or sacks than those you have mentioned as being in the valise when you threw it away?
17762After he had finished, he turned to me, and laughingly said:"''The devil himself would n''t know me in this rig, would he?''
17762After sitting quietly smoking for a few moments, he turned to Robert and asked:"Mr. Pinkerton, how did you discover that I was in McDonald?"
17762At length he turned to Robert and asked:"Will I be able to escape if I tell what I know?"
17762But we are looking for a young man who was here a few days ago, and perhaps you can help us?"
17762Can we go somewhere where we will not be interrupted?"
17762Could it be possible that the honest- faced miner had played him false, and designedly thrown him off the scent?
17762Did you not dispose of some before you parted with the satchel?
17762Do you know anything about him?"
17762Gross?"
17762Has Mary Crilly captivated your senses?"
17762I suppose your fire department here is composed entirely of volunteers?"
17762Kimball$ 1 75 Beatrice Cenci-- From the Italian 1 50 Was He Successful?
17762Mechanically Duncan did as he was directed, and then turning to Manning, he inquired in a low, suppressed tone:"What do you want me for?"
17762Might not the saloon- keeper at Bozeman have given him the proper direction of Duncan''s flight toward the Yellowstone park?
17762Stepping quietly up to the young man, the detective said, carelessly:"Your name is Bob King, I believe?"
17762The face of the little tailor was again wreathed in smiles, as he delightedly inquired:"Do you mean Duncan, the traveling man from Des Moines?"
17762The others had now come forward, and as soon as he could recover from his astonishment, the old farmer cried out:"What does this mean?"
17762Where was he now?
17762Why, what''s the matter?"
17762and was he not now miles away from all pursuit, and perhaps by this time fully aware that he was being followed?
17762exclaimed Mr. Silby, starting to his feet, and with a tremor in his voice, which told of inward agitation;"you do not mean that you suspect Eugene?"
17762said the lady,"this gentleman, I think, was in the same business, and perhaps he may be the one you knew?"
10709_ For who was Aesopus? 10709 ''Then how is it you do not know that I am stone deaf?"
10709''"Then, how is it you omit to make the sign?"
10709''"You are a Spartan?"
10709''"You_ are_ a Spartan?"
10709''And has there really been foul play-- murder-- in any of these deaths?''
10709''Can you doubt it?
10709''Does the fool think to hide ought from my eyes?
10709''Foretold-- what?
10709''Of what, then, have we convicted Randolph?
10709''Tell me,''I said,''have you discovered anything?''
10709''What is his peculiar interest in the Edmundsbury chalice?
10709''Why?''
10709''You knew Lord Pharanx?''
10709''Your narrative becomes unexpectedly interesting,''said Zaleski;''but this unearthed letter of Randolph''s-- what was in it?''
10709''Zaleski?''
10709''_ Has_ it a meaning?''
10709''_ Murdered_?''
10709Ah, the vaults,--the long, the tortuous, the darksome vaults,--how had I forgotten them?
10709All this was deliberately done by some one-- would it be rash to say at once by whom?
10709And of this Englishman-- who either graved the stone himself, or got some one else to do it for him-- do we know nothing?
10709And when was it that this necessity presented itself?
10709And where think you is their chief place of settlement?
10709And, O heaven, is it not too sad?
10709As I was writing the note suggested by Zaleski, I turned and asked him:''From whom shall I say that the danger is to be expected-- from the Indian?''
10709But Persian, you say, written in English characters?
10709But can the turquoise, to the certain knowledge of a mediaeval writer,"chaunges dre"?
10709But had it no other purpose?
10709But have you ever heard an agricultural labourer in clogs or heavy boots ascend a stair?
10709But he does it-- and the reason?
10709But how comes it that these holes are nowhere mentioned in the evidence?
10709But how does Randolph behave with reference to these tracks?
10709But how, above all, do you account for Lord Pharanx''s silence during and after the burglars''visit-- if there was a visit?
10709But in cases where the murder of one is really fiendish, why is it qualitatively less fiendish than the murder of many?
10709But is such a thing possible for any precious stone, and for this one in particular?
10709But meantime is it not Goethe who assures us that"further reacheth no man, make he what stretching he will"?
10709But should not the aperture in the top floor have been observed by the class?
10709But the_ facts_--were they true?
10709But what happens?
10709But what kind of changes-- external or internal?
10709But what kind of pocket?
10709But what ritual?
10709But when I had finished he turned fully round on me, and said:''You perceive, I hope, the sinister meaning of all this?''
10709But why"now"?
10709Can he imagine that I shall not recover my precious gem, my stone of Saul?
10709Can it be possible that Randolph_ had told her_?
10709Can you not picture the distracted old man seeking ever and anon with absent mind for his long- accustomed head- gear, and seeking in vain?
10709Cibras provided for?''
10709Could his wondrous sensitiveness of intuition have made him feel that my eyes were looking in on him?
10709Did I say that I had strange fibrillary twitchings at the right angle of my mouth, and a brain on fire?
10709Do I not feel hourly since it has gone how the surges of life ebb, ebb ever lower in my heart?
10709Do you know that in your schools one- quarter of the children are already purblind?
10709Does the inscrutable Artemis indeed demand offerings of human blood to suage her anger?
10709Had the strange behaviour of at least one of the inmates of Orven Hall no hidden significance?
10709Have not_ I_ instructed him in the sweet secret of Reason?
10709Have you read the ancient Bishop of Rennes on the subject?
10709How has he obtained it-- whence?
10709How then could she see this object?
10709How then does she know the exact_ locale_ of Lord Pharanx''s room?
10709Is Ul- Jabal mad or I?
10709Is it not rather the exclamation of a man whose schemes destiny has complicated?
10709Is it possible that he had provided_ two_ substitutes, and that he had engraved these_ two_, without object, in the same minutely careful manner?
10709Let us ask first,_ who_ is this Ul- Jabal?
10709Life against life-- and which is the best life, mine or this accursed Ishmaelite''s?
10709Not the murder of Lord Pharanx?''
10709Now, let us turn our attention to this stone, and ask, first, what light does the inscription on the cup throw on its nature?
10709Only after a time is he able to gasp:"Did you hear something-- from below?"
10709Printers''errors, you say?
10709Shall I not slay my enemy, and make an end?
10709Some one hears him murmur the words,"My God, what can have happened now?"
10709The letters"mnnnnr,"then, meant the Thames: what did the still remaining letters mean?
10709To save the State would I pierce them with a sword, or leave them to the slow throes of their agonies?
10709To the question"by whom committed?"
10709To this, however, he added in postscript:''but what epidemic?''
10709We at once ask, why not_ drawn_ upward through the newly- discovered aperture by a string too small to be visible in the gloom?
10709Were they in any way connected?
10709Were they in collusion with Cibras?
10709What day is this?''
10709What end?
10709What is it I have delivered into the madman''s hands?
10709What part did the burglars play in the tragedy?
10709What then could be the significance of the staff in the hand of this living man?
10709What then, you ask, would I do with these unholy ones?
10709What though his plundered wealth-- the debt I owe him-- has saved me from a sort of ruin?
10709What, I asked myself, were these drawings meant to represent,--letters, numbers, things, or abstractions?
10709Whence then did the Persian obtain them?
10709Where, but on the heights of that same"Lebanon"on which Sir Jocelin"picked up"his too doubtful scribe and literary helper?
10709Who and what is this woman?
10709Why not elementary botany?
10709Why not elementary chemistry?
10709Why then, being alive, and not gagged, did he give no token of the presence of his visitors?
10709Why then, expecting the death, did he not take some such journey?
10709Will no agony of reluctance overcome the necessity that one man die,"so that the whole people perish not"?
10709You see the lurid significance, the point of resemblance,--you see it?
10709_ Did_ the earl make a new will in the time specified?''
10709_ Why_ mechanics?''
10709and"with what motive?"
10709what has happened_ now_?"
1963And I must speak again about the cups--"What does she come snooping around for, anyhow?
1963And did I or did I not wash the doorstep yesterday?
1963And if you find it?
1963Anne,said Miss Emily,"will you bring me some fresh water?"
1963Are n''t we paying for her house? 1963 Are you sure it really rings?"
1963Are you sure there is something?
1963But,I demanded irritably,"who rings the telephone at night?
1963But-- didn''t the hackman see you packing the books?
1963But-- suppose for a moment that I think I know who is calling me?
1963But-- would it?
1963Come where?
1963Do n''t you think it''s rather isolated?
1963Do n''t you think some one dropped it at the funeral?
1963Do n''t you think this is going to be painful?
1963Do you want to follow it up?
1963Does she use them in rotation?
1963Ever get any bad news over the telephone?
1963Goose- flesh about what?
1963How did I know that paper was in the telephone- box?
1963How did you sleep?
1963I was calling Miss Emily Benton,I explained,"but she is ill.""Still troubled with telephobia?"
1963Is n''t it better to let it go? 1963 Is n''t it time,"I said,"to tell me about this?
1963Is that any reason why we should be uncivil?
1963Is that yours?
1963Jelly?
1963Just you three women here?
1963Look here,he said,"do n''t you suppose it''s because you''re so dependent on the telephone?
1963Maggie,I said quietly,"how do you know she has that shawl?"
1963Miss Agnes,she demanded, standing over me,"did you let the cat out last night?"
1963Must one suffer twice for the same thing? 1963 Rings?"
1963Shoot whom?
1963Suppose some one is planning to rob the house, and using this method of finding out if we are there or not?
1963Telephone?
1963That woman,she said,"what was she doing under the telephone stand?"
1963Told me? 1963 Two sources?"
1963W''you mind if I got the ice- pick and unscrewed the box?
1963What do I need?
1963What in blazes slammed that door?
1963What number, please?
1963What on earth for?
1963What right has she to come back, and spy on us? 1963 Where did you get that?"
1963Where do you keep it, by the way?
1963Who d''you suppose it was, Miss Agnes?
1963Who is it?
1963Who told you to come, Martie?
1963Whose photograph is that?
1963Why all those bathrooms?
1963Why do n''t you go back to the city?
1963Why not just ignore it? 1963 Why not let things be as they are, Anne?"
1963Why should I disturb your lovely old house and its established order?
1963Why? 1963 Will this ever be found?
1963Will you forgive me for saying that you are so exactly the person I should like to see in the house that I feel I can not give you up? 1963 Would my going away help-- her?"
1963You have heard of the brother? 1963 You-- you have decided to have the second telephone put in, then?"
19631st-- Who was the woman?
19632nd-- Where is the body?
19633rd-- What was the reason for the crime?
1963And Miss Emily herself?
1963And ca n''t you see how her terror affected you even over the wire?
1963And if it was true, was it not in its own way as mysterious as everything else?
1963And was I to submit meekly to the fear again, without another effort to vanquish it?
1963And you-- why did n''t you scream?"
1963And, if this were so, was the village right or was I?
1963Besides, is n''t it rather a queer way to help her, to try to fasten a murder on her?"
1963But more important still, why did I feel it?
1963But-- was it idiotic?
1963Did I notice then that she was watching me furtively, or is it only on looking back that I recall it?
1963Did n''t she get down on her bended knees and beg us to take it?"
1963Did some one realize what was happening, and take this method of warning us and sending us after the fugitive?
1963Did the village believe that Miss Emily must be saved from me?
1963Did the village know the story I was trying to learn, and was it determined I should never find out the truth?
1963Did the village know, or only suspect?
1963Did women, rational, truthful, devout women, ever act in this strange manner?
1963Do n''t you see it, Miss Agnes?
1963Do n''t you think that, if thought can travel untold distances, fear can?
1963Do you know that a certain type of woman frequently confesses to a crime she never committed, or had any chance of committing?
1963Do you know what she was at when I looked in at her?
1963From a great distance a woman''s voice said,"Is anything wrong there?"
1963Grant, in a word, that Doctor Lingard himself had been our night visitor-- what then?
1963Had she by chance an enemy who would have done this thing?
1963Had she gone as far as she had the strength to go?
1963Had such a crime been committed, how to discover it at this late day?
1963Has she ever had a genuine emotion?
1963How can I reconcile the thoughts I had that afternoon with my later visit to Miss Emily?
1963How do I know but that it is the intention of some one to lure me downstairs to the telephone and then murder me?"
1963How is that going to help her?"
1963How much of what I say of Miss Emily depends on my later knowledge, I wonder?
1963I daresay you do n''t contend that I go out at night and call the house, and then come back and answer the call, do you?"
1963I suppose you wo n''t care if I go right up and measure the dresser- top, will you?"
1963I wonder if you know what I am talking about?"
1963If you answered very quickly, as though you had been near the instrument, perhaps in the very act of discovering the paper-- don''t you get it?
1963In her small world, who could have fallen out and left no sign?
1963Is it not true that we pay but one penalty?
1963Miss Emily in her high bed, her Bible and spectacles on the stand beside her, her starched pillows, her soft and highbred voice?
1963Only, were there any facts to know?
1963Or that third Miss Emily, Martin Sprague''s, a strange wild creature, neither sane nor insane, building a crime out of the fabric of a nightmare?
1963Or was it not the village at all, but one or two people who were determined to drive me away?
1963Or was there another contingency that I had not thought of?
1963Or was this again one of those curious pacts of hers-- if I spoke or was silent, it was to be?
1963Sometimes I think about it, and I wonder-- did little Miss Emily know?
1963Suppose that the doctor, making his way toward the village and finding himself pursued, had faced about and pretended to be leaving it?
1963Suppose-- just by way of argument, for I did not believe it-- that the confession was true; how could I find out anything about it?
1963That night, at dinner, I said,"Anne, are there any Bullards in this neighborhood now?"
1963There was no corner into which I might not peer, except-- Why was that portion of the fruit- closet locked?
1963To stand up and denounce her?
1963To summon the law?
1963Was he right, after all?
1963What difference does it make?"
1963What if by pressing a button somewhere and ringing that bell, it sets off a bomb somewhere?"
1963What is it?"
1963What is it?"
1963What made her set out and rent it for almost nothing if she is n''t?
1963What of the telephone- call, urging me to search the road?
1963What possible purpose could an intruder have, for instance, in opening my sewing- basket or moving the dictionary two inches on the center table?
1963What''s a bit of silver to a human life?"
1963Whatever it is, and I do not know, why not let things rest?"
1963When Carlo Benton died( however did such an ungodly name come to belong to a Benton?)
1963Where shall I hide it?
1963Which was the real Emily Benton?
1963Whom in all her sheltered life, could Miss Emily have murdered?
1963Why had I said it?
1963Why had he done it?
1963Why not, I considered, do away now with the fear of it?
1963Why, aside from a money consideration, was the Benton house to be occupied by an alien household?
1963Why, for instance, did Maggie, my old servant, develop such a dislike for the place?
1963You do n''t mind that, do you?"
19147And if she refuses?
19147And what is that?
19147And where is that?
19147And you, madam?
19147Barbara''s son?
19147But when I am in the cellar, what then?
19147But where can I get it?
19147But you wo n''t forget me if I allow you to lock us in again? 19147 Daughter of whom?"
19147Do you not wish to speak to him?
19147Frances? 19147 Good likeness, eh?"
19147Have you any suggestions to offer? 19147 How many?"
19147How was this lady dressed?
19147Humphrey,I said,"when are we going to leave this house?
19147Humphrey,said I, placing a finger on the pistol,"why is this?"
19147I pick up?
19147I?
19147Is it? 19147 Is n''t that a bottle to make your eyes dance?
19147Is not Miss Glover wealthy? 19147 May I ask who is speaking to me?"
19147May I ask whom I have the honor of addressing?
19147My dear young lady, how can I thank you enough and how can I sufficiently express my regret at having kept you a prisoner in this blazing house?
19147Nephew?
19147Now will you answer my former question? 19147 Oh, where is Minnie?
19147One of the Witherspoon boys?
19147One that you can tell me?
19147She? 19147 There were but eight,"faltered the lawyer;"that means, then, all?"
19147They all believe it; they will always believe it unless I submit-- Oh, why did I ever come to this dreadful place? 19147 They?
19147True, but if they offered to submit to this themselves?
19147What is it, dear?
19147What is your name?
19147What news?
19147What''s that? 19147 Where are your brothers?"
19147Where shall we go?
19147Who did this overhauling?
19147Who do you think unlocked the door of her retreat? 19147 Who is it, mother?"
19147Why do you ask that? 19147 Why?
19147Will bed and supper be provided me here?
19147You do not feel yourself worthy?
19147You know me?
19147You want to hear the letter?
19147Your name?
19147( Did I say that I had risen when the latter sat?)
19147And how did you repay this confidence on my part?
19147And now who''s the boy in the window?
19147And why did I prefer to await developments rather than ask the simplest question of any one about me?
19147But Eunice had a spirit like an angel and drawing near him, she said:"Is there anything I can do for you, Cousin John?"
19147But how face the publicity of restoring it now, after this elaborate and painful search, in which even the son of her hostess had taken part?
19147But perhaps there are neighbors near by; do you know?"
19147But where?
19147Ca n''t say much to us from canvas, eh?"
19147Can I do nothing for your comfort or for-- for the child''s?"
19147Can you say, John?
19147Can you say, Luke?
19147Can you tell me?"
19147Can you trust me if I promise to take an immediate impression of this key, and have one made for myself, which shall insure my return here?"
19147Deane?"
19147Did I find the ruby?
19147Did he suspect me?
19147Did you notice how bright and happy she looked when the lights sprang up?
19147Do you not see guilt written on his brow?
19147Do you remember it, Lemuel?
19147Do you remember it, Luke?
19147Do you remember it, lads?
19147Do you see your way to accomplishing this?
19147Do you understand me, you cruel, crafty ones?"
19147Had he stopped again?
19147How many of you are there?
19147How many of you ever had the opportunity of drinking real Tokay before?"
19147How was I to obtain them?
19147How?"
19147I merely exclaimed:"And to- night?"
19147Into what sort of gathering had I stumbled?
19147Is her sympathy with Mr. Deane so great as to cause her to weep over his loss?"
19147Is it?"
19147Is this the police- station?"
19147It fell out--""Your dressmaker''s bill?"
19147Luke, Hector, Janet, have you heard him tell of that vision at his gateway, twenty- five years ago?
19147Might I go up on her roof?
19147No; I should find her alone, but where?
19147On her person or hidden in some of her belongings?
19147One of Salmon''s four grandchildren, think''e?
19147Or a shoot from Eustace''s gnarled old trunk?
19147Shall we fare on together, you, I-- and the little one?"
19147Shall we think of ourselves or even of each other while these men, all relatives of mine, are dying on the other side of this wall?"
19147Shall we under- take to do this for him?
19147Shall we, then, fare on together-- we and the little child?"
19147Should I send Hendricks or should I send Hicks?
19147That would be bad, eh?
19147Then suddenly, and with a startling impetuosity, which drew her to her feet:"Are you going to tell everybody that?
19147Then what would I have left?
19147There are five, are n''t there?
19147This imposing figure might be that of a millionaire''s daughter; how then could I associate her, even in my own mind, with theft?
19147To one of the former I addressed the question:"Where is the butler''s pantry?
19147Was any one seen to approach Mr. Deane on the carriage- drive prior to his assertion that the jewel was lost?"
19147Was it instinct that suggested this, or was the hand of Providence in all that I did at this time?
19147Was the man a fool?
19147Was this why Mr. Allison''s countenance expressed so much agitation when he first saw me?
19147We have him at the door; shall we bring him in?"
19147What alternative remained?
19147What has happened to them?
19147What have you done that you should forego an inheritance to which these others feel themselves honestly entitled?"
19147What have you forgot?"
19147What interest have you( called in, as I understand, to recover a stolen jewel) in Frances Glover''s personal difficulties?"
19147What is your name?"
19147What made you think he might still have the ruby?"
19147What troubles Miss Glover?
19147What was the article you were seen to pick up from the driveway soon after leaving your carriage?"
19147What''s that?"
19147When?
19147Where is your husband, dear?
19147Where will you see him?"
19147Who saw her?"
19147Who?
19147Why did it affect me so?
19147Why is this?
19147Why?
19147Will you drink it?
19147Withdraw?
19147Wo n''t you believe me?
19147Would he hate me?
19147Would he love me?
19147Would he turn that fatal weapon on me, or level it again toward his own breast?
19147Would it ever come to pass that a harsh man of the law would feel it his duty to speak to my Flora as I must now speak to the young girl before me?
19147Would that show him a happy man?
19147Yet where could that ruby be, if not with this young girl?
19147Yet, who knows?
19147You and your babe are still alive; while they--""What of them?
19147You were a Westonhaugh, I believe?"
19147You will be provided for--""Will I?"
19147_ You will not?_""No, no, no!"
19147where are our cloaks-- our rubbers?"
10624''_ à � cause du sommeil et à   cause des chats''?_repeated Dr.
10624A face you would recognise again?
10624A fire- elemental,he cried,"a fire- elemental of the most powerful and malignant kind--""A what?"
10624A good woman?
10624A very singular incident indeed,he made answer slowly,"and one I can only explain on the basis of a highly improbable coincidence--""Namely?"
10624And Miss Wragge--?
10624And fires?
10624And has M''sieur not even yet come to a decision?
10624And how do you propose to make it visible? 10624 And how is it that you know so much about him?"
10624And how long altogether,asked John Silence quietly,"do you think you stayed in the town of the adventure?"
10624And how long did you take getting downstairs?
10624And how would you describe it, perhaps?
10624And it provoked laughter again, did it?
10624And my duties?
10624And now can you tell me,he said presently,"what your own feeling about it is-- your general impression?"
10624And personal experiences of your own, Colonel Wragge?
10624And that mark on his skin, for instance?
10624And the effect?
10624And the lightning?
10624And the nature of this-- er-- invasion?
10624And the place to dig in,I asked, unable to restrain my curiosity,"will you find it by some process of divination or--?"
10624And the presence of this-- this--?
10624And the result of your investigations-- these stories, I mean?
10624And the stories? 10624 And this evidence you spoke of?"
10624And this happened to you last year, since when you have never been back to the place?
10624And this material?
10624And this sentence that he hurled at you after the bag?
10624And what do you make of the Frenchman in the train?
10624And what form, if I may ask, did this interference take?
10624And what was it he_ did_ that you thought strange?
10624And when you saw him--?
10624And why,he began, savage with the desire to find something visible he could fight--"why, in the name of all the blazes--?"
10624And why?
10624And you get no clue from these facts?
10624And you have it still, this hair?
10624And you think,asked Pender hastily,"that it is all primarily due to the_ Cannabis_?
10624And you,he whispered tremblingly--"you child of visions and enchantment, how is it that you so bewitch me that I loved you even before I saw?"
10624And your brother?
10624And your experiment with the house?
10624And, meanwhile, did the presence of this person leave you?
10624Any impression who it could have been?
10624Are you aware yet of anything-- odd here?
10624As utterly alien to your own mind and personality?
10624But what is its object?
10624But''it''--what is''it''?
10624Can you explain to me what you felt was the source of her power?
10624Can you show me this writing?
10624Colonel Wragge-- or the sister?
10624Did it control me-- take possession of me? 10624 Egypt?"
10624Eh? 10624 Fear gone, too?"
10624Has he tried any one at all--?
10624Haunted house?
10624He still writes, then? 10624 Humour restored?"
10624I had never given a thought to such matters so far as I know--"Or to the question of reincarnation, perhaps?
10624I know Mrs. Pender well-- I knew her before she married him--"And is she a cause, perhaps?
10624I may first have to make one or two experiments--"On me?
10624I pray to Heaven you will not undertake this experiment alone, will you?
10624I think not; though how can I say? 10624 In the asylum?"
10624Incendiarism?
10624Incidents, you mean?
10624Is this why they wait and watch?
10624Like a cat, you said?
10624May I ask what was the cause of death?
10624Not directed by a living being, a conscious will, you mean?
10624Nothing happened in the night, for instance? 10624 Obliterated,"she went on, after a moment to weigh the word,"merely obliterated by something else--""By some one else?"
10624On pourrait faire un p''tit tour ensemble, n''est- ce pas? 10624 Physical fear?"
10624Putting what?
10624Smoke, you mysterious beastie, what in the world are you about?
10624So that, in reality, you had only stayed a night or two in the inn?
10624So there may be excitement, after all?
10624Terror, was it?
10624That''s it exactly,said Vezin;"which, I take it, means something like''because of sleep and because of the cats,''does n''t it?"
10624Then that awful figure in the laundry?
10624There was nothing to alarm?
10624What in the world---?
10624What, in the name of all that''s dreadful,_ is_ a fire- elemental?
10624Which is likely?
10624Why does it come from that plantation? 10624 Why should you?"
10624With blank cartridges, I suppose?
10624Yes?
10624You are sure of your clue, then?
10624You destroyed that, too?
10624You had no reaction of any sort-- for instance, of alarm?
10624You know what it is?
10624You love me, then?
10624You saw nothing-- no one-- all this time?
10624You see-- what?
10624You still have no strong impressions?
10624You think not? 10624 You will take a companion with good nerves, and reliable in case of disaster, wo n''t you?"
10624_ Now_ do you guess?
10624And why is it that the people watch me from morning to night?
10624And why should it attack us, or any one in particular?"
10624And why, if he was not afraid, should the wisdom of staying indoors after sundown have suddenly occurred to him as eminently desirable?
10624And you?"
10624And, tell me,"he added more quickly with passion in his voice,"what you really are-- yourself?"
10624Besides which, I feel sure from all I''ve heard, that you are really a soul- doctor, are you not, more than a healer merely of the body?"
10624But how was it, then, that the moment his eye fell upon this ungainly woman, the pair of them appeared suddenly as other than they were?
10624Did I talk nonsense?"
10624Did_ They_ stand also in the hall?
10624Does the decision rest with me after all, and not with them?"
10624Have they the souls of night- things, and is the whole blessed town in the hands of the cats?"
10624He writes humorous stories-- quite a genre of his own: Pender-- you must have heard the name-- Felix Pender?
10624Horrible?
10624How capture and confine it?
10624I asked further--"the man who warned him against the place,_ à   cause du sommeil et à   cause des chats?_ Surely a very singular incident?"
10624I asked further--"the man who warned him against the place,_ à   cause du sommeil et à   cause des chats?_ Surely a very singular incident?"
10624I can see no possible objection, but--""But what?"
10624Is n''t that it?"
10624Is that understood between us?"
10624It is''Doctor,''is it not?"
10624It was like a douche of icy water, and in the middle of this storm of laughter--""Yes; what?"
10624My husband''s case is so peculiar that-- well, you know, I am quite sure any_ ordinary_ doctor would say at once the asylum--""Is n''t he in, then?"
10624No vivid dreamings?"
10624Now, do you begin to see what I am driving at a little?"
10624So the stars the man saw blazing--""But burying what?"
10624Tell me what it all means?
10624That during the day they make a sham though brave pretence, and after the sun is down their true life begins?
10624The force has not gone?"
10624There is nothing radically amiss with myself-- nothing incurable, or--?"
10624Was the whole house crowded from floor to ceiling?
10624Was, then, even the staircase occupied?
10624What d''ye mean, Dr. John Silence?"
10624Whence came that transforming dignity and sense of power that enveloped them both as by magic?
10624Who will you bring, then?"
10624Why otherwise should he have suddenly taken to walking stealthily, silently, making as little sound as possible, for ever looking behind him?
10624Why, indeed?
10624Would M''sieur like me to be his guide, perhaps?
10624Would it rub against his leg, too?
10624asked John Silence, smiling that peculiarly sympathetic smile that always melted the prejudices of his patient,"were you unable to follow it exactly?"
10624he added,"that lightning out of a clear sky-- that flashing-- did you notice_ that_?"
10624he asked himself with rather a shaking heart,"for the time when I shall join them-- or refuse to join them?
10624he asked, still dazed,"there''ll be no more fires?"
10624he called again,"Smokie, you black mystery, what is it excites you so?"
10584And desert my chum when he''s in trouble? 10584 And how about the plane business?"
10584And now, Tom, had n''t we better turn toward the shore?
10584Anything gone wrong with the motors, Tom?
10584Are you sure cabling would do no good, if we could manage to send an urgent message?
10584Are you worrying about your cousin?
10584Back home, Tom?
10584Berlin or bust?
10584Better separate, and attack''em from two different angles, had n''t we, Tom?
10584But ca n''t something be done, boys? 10584 But if it does n''t, what then?"
10584But not impossible?
10584But then what''s the use of sticking it out? 10584 But what about Bertrand Hale, Nellie?
10584But why could n''t you take the spin in his company, Tom? 10584 But why should it?
10584But, surely, you would n''t dare hint anything about the big trip we want to take, Tom?
10584But-- how could you have reached here so far ahead of me?
10584Can you make it perfectly safe again before half an hour passes?
10584Could n''t be bettered much, could it, Tom?
10584Could you feel any motion when you stood on that lower shelf of the berg?
10584Did n''t I know you could do it, Tom?
10584Did they get any of our crowd?
10584Did those shots seem to be over yonder to the right?
10584Did you learn anything about the job we''ve got on hand, Tom?
10584Did-- er, Bessie ask you to look me up?
10584Do you really mean that Bessie and Mrs. Gleason are so close as all that?
10584Do you suppose your cousin knows anything about this new development?
10584Do you think he suspected anything?
10584Does the hangar lie in that quarter, sir?
10584For a change of subject,Tom observed,"shall we tell Lieutenant Beverly about your troubles?
10584Glad to hear you say that, Jack, because I''m feeling particularly keen myself to be one of that bunch to- night"When do we start?
10584Have they tried to injure your plane, Colin?
10584Have you had bad news from home?
10584How about it if we should sight a steamer?
10584How can such wickedness exist when war had made so many heroes among our boys?
10584How do we know what the good fairy may do for you, so as to outwit the villain of the piece?
10584How far are we from land, Tom, would you say?
10584How long have we been here?
10584How would an iceberg fill the bill, Colin?
10584I suppose you''re counting now on getting that long flight off your mind? 10584 I wonder if that can be Virginia I see?"
10584I''d like to know how you make that out?
10584Is there anything else to confer about?
10584Is there anything else we can do for you, Lieutenant?
10584Is there anything to delay us further?
10584It is n''t about Bessie, I hope?
10584It was the_ Titanic_, was n''t it, that bumped into an iceberg, and went down with such a frightful loss of life?
10584It''s all right then, I take it, Tom?
10584It''s hinted that we are aiming at Berlin, do n''t you know?
10584It''s the supply pipe clogging then?
10584Jack, what''s wrong with you?
10584Just the thing, I''d say,the lieutenant answered,"only who ever heard of an iceberg floating down in mid- Atlantic at this season of the year?
10584No chance of our getting at it while afloat, is there?
10584No one dead, or sick, I hope, Jack?
10584Notice that road looking as if it might be pitted with shell- holes? 10584 Please explain what you mean by that?"
10584Pretty nearly through, Tom?
10584Running more into the south- southwest, you mean, I suppose, Tom?
10584Say, is it going to be anything serious, fellows? 10584 See here, is it anything connected with that Burson property-- has that matter come to a head at last?"
10584See how the old luck keeps hanging over us, will you? 10584 See who''s coming, will you?"
10584Spies hanging around, probably?
10584Tell me, is that the anchored light- ship''s siren, Tom, do you think?
10584That one spanning the river about twenty miles back of the German lines, do you mean?
10584That you, Tom, Jack?
10584Then the machine is still ready for business, is it?
10584Then you suspect he may already be on his way across, and will arrive before you can get there to put in your claim?
10584There, is n''t that a regular beauty to show?
10584This is Mrs. Parmly, I believe?
10584Tom, do you think the general would permit us to take our machine, and fly to Dunkirk?
10584Tom, would it be madness, do you think?
10584We veer to the left here, and pass out to sea over Queenstown, do n''t we, Colin?
10584We want to see Major Denning; can anybody direct us to him?
10584Well, is there any objection to breaking our fast again?
10584What about the plane, Colin?
10584What are you thinking about, Tom, for I can see a look in your face that we ought to know? 10584 What can I be doing in the meanwhile?"
10584What can I do for you?
10584What could stop him, since I''m utterly powerless to do anything?
10584What do you make of this thing, Tom?
10584What do you think of it, boys?
10584What do you think you see?
10584What does this mystery mean?
10584What have you found now?
10584What is that?
10584What makes it feel so queer at times?
10584What ought we do, Tom?
10584What''s happened to you?
10584What''s that?
10584What''s the idea of keeping so high, Lieutenant?
10584What''s the matter now, Tom?
10584What''s the verdict?
10584What''s wrong here?
10584When you have n''t the slightest thing to guide you, stars, sun, or earth, how can you tell which is up or which is down? 10584 Where is the big Martin bomber now, did you say?"
10584Why so, Major?
10584Why, what is the matter with you?
10584Wonder if the old chap has got a mate around?
10584You do n''t blame Jack, do you?
10584You do n''t glimpse any other chance further on, do you, Jack?
10584You doubtless know that I''ve got more money than is good for any single man to handle? 10584 You mean calculated to make every one feel timid about taking any extraordinary risk-- is that it?"
10584You mean the notifications might arrive while we were gone?
10584And just to think of the queer conditions of this hunt, too, will you?
10584And who would not have been under similar conditions?
10584Anything like a written message you would like to leave behind, to be sent in case we are never heard from again, boys?
10584Are you planning a trip to the moon, after Jules Verne''s yarn?"
10584Are you sure you''ve got the directions how to get to Dunkirk, and then how to find my secret hangar on the coast beyond the town, Tom?"
10584Besides, what do ten or twenty minutes amount to?"
10584Both of you will be free, do n''t you understand?
10584But Jack,--""Yes, Tom?"
10584But are the lands worth as much as it was believed, Jack?"
10584But had n''t we better be thinking of getting out of this soft marshy tract?"
10584But what ails you, Tom?
10584But why do you ask that?
10584CHAPTER IX CONVINCING PROOF"Are you sure about that?"
10584CHAPTER XI THE AMAZING PLAN"Tell us what you mean, please?"
10584CHAPTER XIII OFF FOR THE CHANNEL"Tom, do you think that spy left behind by my cousin could have learned in any way about our plan?"
10584Can it be they''re being attacked by a Hun undersea boat, do you think, boys?"
10584Can we do anything further for you right now, Lieutenant?"
10584Can you guess why any one should wish to do either of you such a wrong as that?"
10584Did he tell you anything that would be of interest to us?"
10584Do n''t you see how it acts, Tom?"
10584Do you think we''ve crossed the Channel, Lieutenant?"
10584Does n''t she look rather serious, Tom?"
10584Faster now grew their progress, but would the stretch of ice prove a long enough area to give them the necessary momentum?
10584Get that, do you, Jack?"
10584Has n''t anything been done to learn the truth, sir?"
10584Have n''t I known you to come to the front many times when things looked very black for us?"
10584Have you an idea-- is there yet a hope that we can get a grip on this danger, and choke it?"
10584How am I going to beat Randolph across the Atlantic?
10584How are you fixed, Jack?"
10584I suppose you know they''ve got a sort of''Y''hut running back here a bit?"
10584If you''ve a sharp knife what''s to hinder you from taking one of his claws for a trophy?"
10584Is everything going well, Colin?"
10584Is n''t that true?"
10584Let''s see-- two o''clock you said, did n''t you?
10584Must we just fold our hands, and meet our fate?"
10584Parmly?"
10584Ready, back there?
10584See here, what''s this mean?
10584So the boys picked you up, did they?
10584Sure you examined the ground ahead, and saw to it we''d hit no bumps that might give us trouble?"
10584Tell me, can you guess why this unknown person should want to injure you?"
10584Then it''s our only chance; if we miss this what else could we do?"
10584Tom, what do you say about it?"
10584Try to guess what would happen to that monster berg if we hit head on?"
10584Was Tom ever going to elevate the plane and attempt the rise from the flat surface of the ice?
10584Was not the miracle- worker of a monster plane doing remarkably fine work, and should they not continue to believe the end justified the means?
10584Was the ice floe about to break up?
10584Well, what does it matter?"
10584What can that mean?"
10584What do you say, Jack?"
10584What do you think about it, Tom?"
10584What do you think of the plane, Tom?"
10584What does that mean, Tom?"
10584What had we better do?"
10584What if it was ten minutes late?
10584What if something happens to hold up those notices until it''s too late for even Colin''s big bomber to catch up with the steamer?"
10584What if two thousand miles still lay between them and the goal of their hopes?
10584What under the sun can it be?"
10584What''s going on around here; nothing serious happened, I hope?"
10584What''s the matter with this fine big gap?"
10584What''s the use?
10584What''s your big scheme, Lieutenant?"
10584Worse than we at first thought?"
10584You do n''t think it''s possible that could be the_ La Bretagne_, Tom?"
10584You have n''t flunked, Tom?
10584You''ll agree to that, wo n''t you, Jack?"
10584but is n''t he a buster though?
10584did you?"
10584what''s that mean?"
10584who''s this but my English cousin, Major Denning?"
18671About what?
18671Am I?
18671Am I?
18671And aboard the_ Trunella_?
18671And then what?
18671And then?
18671And what good would that do_ me_?
18671And you say he''s there now?
18671And you''ll let me alone on-- on the other things?
18671And you''re still goin''after your gen''leman friend from up North?
18671And you? 18671 And?"
18671And?
18671Are you trying to say this Binhart case was a frame up?
18671As who expected?
18671Batty, how long''re yuh going to peddle glue, anyway?
18671Blanchard?
18671But do n''t you see,she protested,"supposing he gives up Binhart?
18671But how''d we ever handle the deal?
18671But where''s Binhart?
18671But you''ll give me the chance?
18671Can you say a thing like that to me, Jim?
18671Connie, where in hell did you plant that haul o''yours?
18671D''you realize you''ll have to sneak ashore in a_ lancha_ and pass a double line o''patrol? 18671 D''you want it?"
18671D''you want my suggestion?
18671D''yuh_ have_ to do this?
18671Did n''t I tell you we''d take care of your end?
18671Did you give it to him?
18671Did you let your Chief in on this?
18671Do I?
18671Do you hear me, white man? 18671 Does Elsie Verriner know where that pile is?"
18671Draw for lead?
18671From the fever camps?
18671Getting my clothes on?
18671Had n''t we better lay up for a few days?
18671Have a smoke?
18671Have n''t you any money?
18671Have you any money?
18671How are you going to protect me, if Blake comes back? 18671 How d''you know that?"
18671How do I know that?
18671How much money has he?
18671How''d you do the arranging?
18671How''d you get here?
18671How''m I going to hold down a chair and hunt a crook at the same time?
18671How''s business?
18671How?
18671How?
18671How?
18671I hate to holler Auburn at a girl like you, Elsie; but I''m going--"Auburn?
18671If you were still on the outside work?
18671Is that a threat?
18671Is that all?
18671Is that the message Ottenheim told you to give me?
18671Is what?
18671It was some chase, Jim, was n''t it?
18671It''s what?
18671Making what worse?
18671Mr. Copeland, are n''t you afraid some one might find it worth while to tip Blake off?
18671Newcomb?
18671Pip, what''re you doing down in these parts?
18671Seen anything of Wolf Yonkholm?
18671So he''s there?
18671That Alfaro gang after you?
18671Then how about a little real talk, the kind of talk that money makes?
18671Then how''ll you prove it? 18671 Then might I ask what you are after?"
18671Then what are you?
18671Then what do you want?
18671Then what is it?
18671Then what is your suggestion?
18671Then what''re we beefing about?
18671Then what''re we sittin''here arguin''about, anyway? 18671 Then what''re yuh sellin''this stuff for, if it ai n''t for money?"
18671Then where''s the trouble?
18671Then who does?
18671Then who_ is_ the man?
18671Then why ca n''t you marry me?
18671Then why could n''t I put you in a cap and jumper and work you in as one of the greasers?
18671Then why d''you say I ca n''t get at him?
18671Then why did n''t you say it an hour ago?
18671Then why did n''t you say so?
18671Then why hold down the chair? 18671 Then why not end the monkey work, as you call it?"
18671Then you''ll sail by noon?
18671There''s nothing crooked behind this?
18671Well, supposing I''m not?
18671Well, what do I have to do to keep from being hauled back?
18671Well, what word''ll I take back to Ottenheim?
18671Well, what''s Binhart got to do with our trouble anyway? 18671 Well, who does?"
18671Well?
18671What about it?
18671What are you driving at?
18671What are you going to do?
18671What as?
18671What d''you want me to do?
18671What d''you want to get into Guayaquil for?
18671What did you want me for, Jim?
18671What do you mean by greasers?
18671What do you mean?
18671What do you want me for?
18671What do you want, Jim?
18671What do_ you_ know about friendship?
18671What for?
18671What have I lost by it?
18671What have you been doing?
18671What hole?
18671What is your idea of me?
18671What liner?
18671What makes you say that?
18671What was it you wanted me for?
18671What would you gain?
18671What''ll you do about it?
18671What''ll you do?
18671What''re you doing there?
18671What''re you talking about, you two?
18671What''re yuh tryin''to do?
18671What''s she been doin''?
18671What''s the matter with Washington and Wilkie?
18671What''s the row here?
18671What''s the use of pounding me, when I''m on the square again?
18671What''s there in it for me?
18671What''s up, Connie?
18671What''s up?
18671What''s wrong with you, anyway?
18671What''s wrong?
18671What?
18671When do you move out of here?
18671When was that?
18671Where am I going?
18671Where in the name o''God did_ you_ come from?
18671Where to?
18671Where to?
18671Where''ll you get me?
18671Where''s Angel McGlory these days?
18671Where''s Binhart?
18671Where''s Binhart?
18671Where''s Binhart?
18671Who is he?
18671Who''d you spot?
18671Who''re you looking for, Jim?
18671Why are n''t we under way?
18671Why ask_ me_?
18671Why not?
18671Why should I go along with you?
18671Why should I want him killed?
18671Why?
18671Why?
18671Why?
18671Will I be dragged into this case, in any way, if Binhart is rounded up?
18671Within a reasonable length of time?
18671Yes?
18671You do n''t happen to know anything about machinery, do you?
18671You do n''t mean stoke- hole work?
18671You do n''t mean you''re going to try to get into Guayaquil?
18671You ever stop to wonder,he finally inquired,"if it ai n''t kind o''flirtin''with danger knowin''so much about me and my freightin''business?"
18671You know his writing?
18671You know it?
18671You promise me that?
18671You remember a woman called Elsie Verriner?
18671You sabby?
18671You saw Blake again?
18671You sent for me?
18671You''re not married?
18671You''re-- you''re not tied up already, are you?
18671You''ve a weakness for yellow fever?
18671You''ve got''o?
18671You_ know_ you will get him?
18671Yuh got_ who_?
18671Yuh got_ who_?
18671Yuh have now, have n''t yuh?
18671And then crawl into a town that''s reekin''with yellow- jack, a town you''re not likely to crawl out of again inside o''three months?"
18671And you?
18671Do you get it?"
18671Do you hear me?"
18671How are you going to keep your promise?"
18671How''d I know you''d make good?"
18671I want to know if this is a plant to shoot Blake up?"
18671If it''s settled, it''s settled, ai n''t it?"
18671Louis?"
18671Supertales of Modern Mystery NEVER- FAIL BLAKE by ARTHUR STRINGER[ Frontispiece:"Then why ca n''t you marry me?"]
18671Supposing he suspects something and hurries back to hold down his place?"
18671What do you want, anyway?"
18671You savvy him?"
18671You see the second window with the light in it?"
16168''Ave you no loyalty?
16168''Do I know anything of it?'' 16168 Am I to understand that you intend to turn state''s evidence?"
16168And did you notice, ma''am,he asked,"that during his tirade he mentioned about a cove fishing- village?
16168Are you Flint?
16168Are you going to let ten thousand dollars stand in the way of your father''s recovery?
16168Are you sure the watchman''s still up above?
16168But tell me-- you tried to kill me once-- why?
16168Ca n''t you see?
16168Can you get Brent out of the house and bring him to me here behind this hedge at eight o''clock to- night?
16168Do n''t you know me? 16168 Do n''t you know that you may be_ killed_?"
16168Do n''t you think, Doctor,she overheard,"that he would be far better off in a sanitarium?"
16168Do you mean to tell me,demanded Brent,"that a human brain has been made to control a thing of no use except as a terrible engine of destruction?"
16168Eva,pleaded Locke,"wo n''t you trust me?
16168Flint,he snarled,"you get one chance-- see?
16168Happened?
16168Have n''t you anything to add?
16168Have you masks?
16168Have you prepared for their reception?
16168Have you suddenly gone mad, man?
16168Here, my man, what are you doing?
16168How can I know that you speak the truth?
16168How dare you?
16168How did you come here?
16168How did you come to be here?
16168How do you know?
16168How is everything?
16168How long has this double crossing been going on?
16168How long have you known Mr. Balcom''s son?
16168I-- I forgive you?
16168In a taxicab?
16168Is Mr. Balcom there?
16168Is anything-- really the matter-- father?
16168Is he violent?
16168Is the antidote that will restore your father''s reason worth ten thousand dollars to you?
16168Is there anything wrong?
16168Just what, Mr. Balcom, do you mean?
16168Master,he nodded,"why not use the beautiful lady to lure the other one into our power?"
16168May I come in?
16168Miss Brent,he asked, with a bow,"may I speak for you?"
16168Mr. Brent,she called,"is there anything I can do?"
16168Mr. Locke-- where is he?
16168Need I tell you,remarked Eva, coldly,"that I am astounded at your presumption in coming here?"
16168Oh-- Zita-- please-- can''t something be_ done_?
16168Quentin,she burst forth, breathlessly,"what do you think has happened?
16168Say, Dora, why the grouch?
16168She is-- eh? 16168 Tell me quickly what has happened?"
16168The girl-- I really love?
16168The wounded man who was brought here,he demanded,"where is he?"
16168Then you do n''t think it is really an automaton?
16168This Madagascan with the antidote,asked Eva, tremulously,"where is he?"
16168Understand?
16168Want to see her work, sir?
16168Well, Flint,he greeted, in a hushed tone,"what was it you asked to see me about?"
16168Well, old pal,exclaimed one, clapping him on the shoulders,"how does it seem to be out?"
16168Were you in Madagascar lately?
16168What can I do for you, sir?
16168What do you make of it now-- father?
16168What do you mean to insinuate by that question?
16168What do you think it is?
16168What does this mean?
16168What does this prove?
16168What had she come for? 16168 What has happened?"
16168What is it?
16168What is it?
16168What shall I do to obtain my rights?
16168What shall I do?
16168What the devil''s the matter?
16168What was it-- tell us?
16168What''s all the fuss about?
16168What''s that you say?
16168What''s the matter, Quentin?
16168What''s the matter, father?
16168What''s the meaning of this?
16168What''s wrong?
16168What_ is_ the trouble?
16168When will you stop mixing women with business?
16168Where''s a rope?
16168Who did Mr. Balcom say you were?
16168Who is that?
16168Who was the funny gink that hurried by a little while ago?
16168Why did that man look at me in such a strange manner?
16168Why do you look at me in such a strange manner?
16168Why do you make me ridiculous before that fellow?
16168Why do you treat me so coldly,she asked,"when you know I admire your wonderful work?"
16168Why, what are you doing here?
16168Will you answer me one question?
16168Will you please give this package to Mr. Locke and Miss Brent when they come at eight?
16168You have the antidote, then?
16168You know?
16168You say, Long Fang, that all is ready?
16168You think you''re pretty clever, do n''t you?
16168Zita,demanded Locke, suspiciously,"why did you hesitate to save my life?"
16168Am I not cured?"
16168And all for what?
16168And what answer could I give him?
16168As she knelt, crying softly, she sobbed half- aloud:"Why ca n''t I confide in you, father?
16168At that moment a policeman, followed by Zita, entered, and Zita, running up to Locke, cried, anxiously,"You''re not hurt-- are you?"
16168Besides, were not her fortunes tied up with Balcom-- or perhaps with Paul?
16168Brent had a very great feeling of affection and respect for the younger man, for had he not really brought him up?
16168But to what extent?
16168But, buried under tons of earth and rock, could any rescuers reach him in time?
16168By this time Balcom, Paul, and the doctor came out of the library, the doctor in high good humor, for had he not received a huge fee?
16168By what miracle had he escaped from the watery grave?
16168Ca n''t you come to me at once?
16168Could he last long enough to free himself?
16168Could he make it?
16168Could it be possible, after all, that Locke was faithless?
16168Could it be that Brent and Flint were drinking?
16168Could it be that Brent was lying?
16168Could it be that Quentin was such a cad?
16168Could it be that at last his seared conscience was troubling him?
16168Could it be that this young scion of the Balcom fortune could in any way be connected with the Automaton?
16168Could she bring herself to save this man-- for a woman she hated, who had won him from her?
16168Could she reach it in time?
16168Could this man, this suave, polished gentleman, have any motive for seeking the ruin or death of his fiancée?
16168Did Paul realize it?
16168Do you understand?
16168Even Paul did not understand this phase of the conspiracy and looked at his father as much as to say,"I wonder what the old man is up to now?"
16168Had Balcom planned it, or had that mechanical monster taken advantage of what Balcom had ordered?
16168Had it in some way deranged the mechanism, causing the Automaton to turn in its tracks and confront Locke as he charged forward?
16168Had she gone mad?
16168Had she not with her own eyes seen Locke in Zita''s arms?
16168Had she some connection with the Automaton?
16168Have you lost your nerve?"
16168Have you prepared everything?"
16168How could any living thing have lived after such an occurrence?
16168How long had she been there?
16168How much had she overheard?
16168I can trust you to take care of this if I arrange the details?"
16168Is there anything wrong?"
16168It was just at that instant that Balcom had been saying to her:"Why do n''t you marry Paul, as you promised your father and me?
16168Locke?"
16168Might I suggest that that is where Mr. Paul is and Mr. Locke will not be found far off?"
16168Mr. Locke, will you be so kind as to get them?"
16168Or was it fear?
16168Or was it her fear that either Balcom or Paul might know more than they would care to have the authorities know?
16168Or was it merely her heightened imagination?
16168Or was some human being concealed in the armored creature and wounded?
16168Or was the Automaton really an iron monster, after all?
16168Or would it leave him to a death more horrible?
16168Paul?"
16168Seeking-- always seeking-- what?
16168She seemed alone-- yet was she?
16168Should he do so now?
16168Suppose it were indeed true-- this Frankenstein, this conscienceless inhuman superman?
16168Then with a graceful gesture he asked,"Will you so far honor your humble servant?"
16168Then, unable to withstand the suspense longer, she asked,"Have you brought it-- the antidote?"
16168Understand?
16168Was it a signal?
16168Was she trying to worm some secret from him?
16168Was the wall at the right of the statue moving?
16168Was this the end?
16168Was this the man who had been so kind, who had saved her from a thousand dangers?
16168What can we do?"
16168What did it mean?
16168What did the man mean?
16168What fate was in store for her-- what for Locke?
16168What had Flint to gain by misrepresentation?
16168What had he to fear from any man at the bottom of a peaceful harbor?
16168What made his eyes gleam so banefully?
16168What nameless torture was in store for her?
16168What new terrors awaited her here?
16168What sort of reception might she expect?
16168What was he contemplating?
16168What was it inside?
16168What was it that they, who feared neither God nor man, feared?
16168What was the strange power which Balcom had wielded over him, which death had snapped?
16168What was there about Quentin Locke that compelled her attention-- that made her feel secure when he was about?
16168What was this strange being doing there on the bottom of the sea?
16168What was this strange power that Paul, at will, could exercise throughout the underworld?
16168What was this strange power that this man, scarcely more than a youth, wielded over these outlawed men?
16168What''s the matter?
16168When would they begin to suspect the substitution he had played on them?
16168Whence had he come?
16168Who is now in the iron man?"
16168Why ca n''t you advise me?
16168Why had she been brought to such a place?
16168Why was she struck down-- first?"
16168Why was the air not vitiated?
16168Why?"
16168Wo n''t you be seated?
16168Would he be in time?
16168Would it crush out Locke''s life under its ponderous heel?
16168Would she, for love of Locke, who had not returned her love, save him?
16168Would the door be unlocked?
16168Would the pretty lady hear her fortune told while she waited?
16168Would they throw her, unconscious, down the same yawning trap?
16168Yet how dare that woman enter Brent Rock?
11493A fortnight ago you bought £ 8,000 of London and North- Western Debentures, £ 6,000 in Consols, £ 7,000 in Government bonds of South Australia?
11493A new servant of your mother''s?
11493And he made an appointment with you for half- past nine?
11493And what might that be, sir?
11493And what was this dream?
11493And why do you think my interview has met with some success?
11493And you have seen Mills?
11493And you managed to convey something of those very painful facts which you felt it was your duty to bring to his notice?
11493And you really meant that?
11493And you will be back the day after to- morrow?
11493Anything else?
11493Are you going to tell Mr. Morris, sir?
11493As for the possibility of your marrying?
11493At what time?
11493Between, let us say June 21st and June 24th, did the prisoner call at Mr. Mills''s flat?
11493But do you think I may come over to- morrow, in the afternoon some time, and see you and Lady Templeton?
11493But for what reason?
11493But he had not done so?
11493But he has got to see me,he cried,"What''s the use of you going to ask if he will?"
11493But who else could it have been?
11493But will you not look round?
11493By whom was this discovery made?
11493Calm?
11493Can he have missed his train? 11493 Can you remember that?
11493Cigar, drink? 11493 Did anybody else enter the flat during those days?"
11493Did anyone call that morning? 11493 Did he give any specific instructions about it?"
11493Did he go in?
11493Did he go to the drawing- room?
11493Did he say anything to you when he left the house?
11493Did he write anything there?
11493Did he write anything there?
11493Did he write anything?
11493Do you press your question?
11493For what reason did you say it, then?
11493Forbidden?
11493He travelled then by Lewes and not by the direct route?
11493He''ll want a lot of health to carry him through this, wo n''t he?
11493He''s not come yet?
11493How are you? 11493 How do you know that?"
11493How much do you want?
11493I say, Taynton, is it really worth while keeping it up like this?
11493I shall put it down to unexpected losses, not connected with business; eh, Mr. Timmins? 11493 Is Mr. Mills back yet?"
11493Is it among these?
11493Is this the blotting- book?
11493June 24th?
11493Mr. Mills not been here all morning?
11493Mr. Morris Assheton?
11493Mrs. Assheton came back that morning?
11493My dear fellow, what could be wrong?
11493No letter of any sort to correspond?
11493No, sir,said Williams,"Will you have a hot bath, sir?"
11493No? 11493 Now what has been my part in this affair?
11493Please tell the jury what he did?
11493Search for what?
11493Shall we go, Madge? 11493 That I had to dismiss you two years ago for theft?"
11493That was supplied by your firm?
11493This is it?
11493Was he alone there?
11493Was it that leaf which has been already produced in court, bearing the impress of a letter dated June 21st?
11493Was there a thunderstorm on Thursday?
11493Well, what then?
11493What are you going to do now?
11493What did it contain?
11493What did you do with it?
11493What did you do?
11493What did you take from it?
11493What did young Assheton say?
11493What else can I offer you?
11493What for?
11493What for?
11493What shall I do it with?
11493What shall I do it with?
11493What verdict, do you find?
11493What were they?
11493What''s foolish?
11493When did Mr. Taynton come into the flat?
11493When?
11493Where is he?
11493Where is he?
11493Where was the blotting- book?
11493Who ordered it?
11493Who?
11493Why are you taking up this hostile and threatening attitude?
11493Why was that?
11493Would n''t it be wiser to leave it till to- morrow? 11493 Would you be calm in my circumstances, do you think?"
11493Would you kindly let me look round for it?
11493Yes, dear?
11493Yes, it is like, is n''t it?
11493Yes, sir,"What did he say?
11493You are a servant of the prisoner''s?
11493You are going to town this afternoon?
11493You are really not anxious?
11493You did not examine the blotting- book in any way?
11493You expect him then, do n''t you?
11493You expected him last night, did you not?
11493You found letters waiting for you?
11493You had guessed?
11493You have been convinced that he was innocent of the terrible suspicion? 11493 You have dined?"
11493You have had control of the prisoner''s private fortune since 1886?
11493You knew that was untrue?
11493You know quite well that we are to share all profits?
11493You mean not after June 24th?
11493You returned home on June 24th last, from a visit to town?
11493You saw nothing of him?
11493You searched the house of Mrs. Assheton in Sussex Square?
11493You told Mrs. Assheton that it had been left at the door?
11493You were in his service during this week of June, of which Friday was June 24th?
11493You were not in the drawing- room, when he wrote it?
11493You would swear to that, too, would you not, Timmins?
11493Ah, who is that letter from?
11493And how can you say that my nose went in the air?
11493And what else?"
11493Are you going to bring an action against me for blackmail?
11493But he would go by the downs, would he not?"
11493But supposing she had been just a shade less brave, supposing her filial obedience had weighed an ounce heavier?
11493But what then?
11493But will you give me the pleasure of driving back with you instead?"
11493Chauffeurs are such rotters, are n''t they?
11493Did Mr. Taynton go into the deceased''s sitting- room?"
11493Did he order it from you, you yourself?"
11493Did the prisoner go up to town, or elsewhere on that day, driving his motorcar, but leaving you in Brighton?"
11493Do n''t you remember, Mr. Taynton?
11493Do you remember my asking her if I might come to see them, and she said she and her mother would be out all day?"
11493Does it not mean that you are blackmailing me?
11493Does not that, I ask, imply a threat?
11493Else why should you bring these facts-- I do not dispute them-- to my notice?
11493He could not at once separate his dream from reality, for indeed what had he done yesterday after he had learned who his traducer had been?
11493He has not been here already?"
11493How did you find Sir Richard?"
11493If so, who?"
11493In order to throw the broken pieces of Morris''s stick into the bushes?
11493In other words, will you, or will you not, Morris, spend a very dry three hours at my office, looking into the account of my stewardship?
11493Is it likely I should?"
11493Is that inconsistent?
11493Is that it?"
11493It was money bought at a terrible price, was it not?
11493It was:"You have a similar stick then?"
11493Morris, my dear boy, what is the matter?"
11493Mrs. Assheton''s letter?
11493My dear Morris, and is not your mother charmed?"
11493My father''s will does not prevent that, does it?"
11493My hat?
11493My umbrella?
11493Or rather what must he do next?
11493Or shall I remind you again that there is nothing in the world to connect me with these, well, frauds?"
11493Or shall it be charity?
11493Shall we go?"
11493Sit down, wo n''t you?
11493So I ask, where I come in?
11493Some dreadful scene was already prepared for them; the setting and stage were ready, the prompter, and who was he?
11493Supposing I refuse you remuneration?"
11493That is so, my lad?
11493The black cap, was it not?
11493The lightning was terrific, was it not?
11493The morning''s post?
11493There was something, too, which she had casually said a day or two ago that she wanted, what was it?
11493These financial operations, shall we call them, have been going on for two years now, have they not?
11493Timmins?"
11493What are you going to do now?"
11493What do I get by it?"
11493What good does that do, now our friend is dead?
11493What had he come there for?
11493What if he had consented?"
11493What if they met there, alone?
11493What is it?"
11493What time ought he to have got in?"
11493What would he have done?
11493Where is he?"
11493Why he''ll be six years old, wo n''t he, by now?"
11493Why, it''s good business for me, is n''t it?
11493Will not that imply the re- opening of-- of certain ledgers, which we agreed last night had better remain shut?"
11493Will that do?"
11493Will you see him to- morrow?"
11493Would he have been able to pass him and not wreaked his rage on him?
11493Yet from whence was such assurance to come?
11493Yet, what was his dream?
11493You are twenty- two, are you not, to- day?
11493You do n''t mind my smoking do you?"
11493You do n''t think there''s anything wrong, do you?"
11493You will have a glass of port?"
11493You will remember my instructions?
11493he said again,"are you concealing him here?
12678''You know my profession?'' 12678 Ai n''t it funny?"
12678Ai n''t it my business to know the faces of everybody? 12678 And you promise to leave quiet?"
12678Are you coming back again to that queer business of which you told me-- that day on the tennis court?
12678Are you going to be all day redding up them rooms?
12678Are you sure Annette''s abed?
12678But I may see you-- call on you in the city?
12678But how about that electric bell?
12678But is she a fake? 12678 But what am I to do-- why am I here if I am to do nothing?"
12678But will you tell your Aunt Paula that you met me?
12678Could you come at once to that Eighty- sixth Street entrance of the Park?
12678Dearest, why do you ask?
12678Did you ever hear that Miss Markham had been brought up to be a medium? 12678 Did you look at his feet?"
12678Do n''t you see?
12678Do tell me how you got it? 12678 Do you come personally or professionally?
12678Do you hear that?
12678Do you know that for all I''ve been so much out of the active world--a shadow fell on her eyes,--"I long for country and farms?
12678Do you know what it means? 12678 Does n''t she?"
12678Drink?
12678Even bringing spirits from a cabinet?
12678Ever been about much down there?
12678Exactly when?
12678Good symptom for you, ai n''t it? 12678 Have I ever denied it-- can I ever deny it to you?"
12678Have I not said that you are-- the obstacle? 12678 Have you been given anything special to say to- night-- has anything been impressed upon you?"
12678Her heart?
12678Her other name?
12678How did you know? 12678 How did you know?"
12678How do you like it after the Philippines?
12678How much is this business worth to you?
12678How''s your head? 12678 I am beginning to question your right to--""But answer me--_Did you wake?_""No.
12678I see,said his voice,"but do you_ believe_ it?"
12678I suppose--bitterly--"your Aunt Paula had nothing to do with that?"
12678I wo n''t ask you to let_ me_ treat you-- but why do n''t you go to some physician about it? 12678 I''ve opened myself up to you like a school- girl in a cosey corner chat,"said Rosalie Le Grange;"ai n''t it time_ you_ was doin''some confidin''?"
12678If I should come again, would Helen tell me more?
12678If we wanted to water our mediumship, could n''t we get rich out of the tips we give people on their business?
12678Investigating Mrs. Markham? 12678 Is that all?"
12678Is the compartment occupied? 12678 Know any of the graves?"
12678Let''s walk,he said shortly; and then,"Even if you put me aside, wo n''t you keep me in your life?"
12678May I kiss her?
12678Might I ask some questions?
12678Must we go all over it again? 12678 Must we talk this out whenever we meet?
12678My dear sir-- I could almost say''my dear boy''--if I had, would I admit it? 12678 No,"he said,"I brought it on-- God brought it on-- but what does that matter?
12678Now the spirits slipped that right out of me, did n''t they?
12678Oh, did I do that?
12678Oh, why did you do that?
12678See here,she pursued,"are you a psychic researcher?"
12678Shall I pay you now or later? 12678 Since this is a-- a-- professional relation, may I ask how much I owe you?"
12678Tell me about Miss Markham first,he interrupted;"is she well?"
12678The Philippines-- oh, you''ve been in the East? 12678 The railroad king?"
12678The what?
12678Then it''s coming to a fight between me and your Aunt Paula? 12678 Then may I come again?"
12678Then you say,returned Norcross with one of his characteristic shifts to childlike abruptness,"that you never faked?"
12678They could n''t find anybody else to fall in love with around the Markham house-- ain''t as smart as you thought you was, are you?
12678This something-- won''t you tell me what it is? 12678 Tuesday night?"
12678Twenty- five thousand dollars?
12678Was there ever anyone else?
12678We need air most of all-- open that window, will you?
12678Well, that''s what I''m takin''your money for, ai n''t it?
12678What I''m wondering,she said,"is who plays her spook?
12678What about putting aside earthly love for strength?
12678What can such a thing have to do with your physical condition?
12678What did I do last night?
12678What did I say?
12678What do you know about Miss Markham?
12678What do you suppose she''s like?
12678What has that to do with the case?
12678What is it that''s quite true, Auntie?
12678What is it?
12678What put you down?
12678What reasons?
12678What sort of a looking gentleman?
12678What was Lallie''s real name?
12678What was the matter?
12678What''d you give for a chance to stay in his office a month and see him work? 12678 What''s the trouble between you and that slim little niece of Mrs. Markham''s that you want her aunt exposed?
12678What''s thirty years?
12678Where?
12678Who is the cleverest fakir in that business?
12678Who''s Martha?
12678Who''s the greatest doctor in the world?
12678Why do you ask that?
12678Why do you ask?
12678Why should I?
12678Why were you so far away? 12678 Why?"
12678Wilfred-- is it Wilfred?
12678Will you kindly remember,said Rosalie Le Grange,"that you''re supposed to be drunk?
12678Will you obey?
12678Will you ride?
12678Will your voices tell me anything?
12678Wo n''t you tell me what I''m going to see?
12678Wonder if they''re-- anywhere-- those people down under the tombstones?
12678Yes, an''ai n''t it a sneakin''trick to hire a housekeeper to be a spy?
12678You admit that there_ are_ frauds in your profession, then?
12678You did not get up?
12678You have never seemed harsh before--"Will you answer me?
12678You will not be frightened?
12678You will not laugh?
12678Young man,asked Rosalie with an air of shocked and injured innocence,"are you accusing me of_ fakery_?"
12678''Indeed?''
12678Ah, do you see now?"
12678Am I to become a Light without sacrificing all?
12678An''ca n''t I fix it some other way?"
12678And do you suppose that I am going to let Aunt Paula keep you now?"
12678And if Mrs. Markham is playin''fake materializing with old Norcross as a dope, what does it come to?
12678And so, it was Annette who spoke first:"What is the matter-- oh, what has happened?"
12678And what do they have to offer?
12678And why should he care so much that he had risked offending a mere passing acquaintance of the road?
12678Are you he?
12678Are you takin''in what I tell you?"
12678Blake heard his own voice, far away, saying:"What did you come for?"
12678But about Annette?"
12678But his voice quavered a little for a moment as he added:"You''re good at forgetting?"
12678But how should I know?
12678But it''s quite true, is it not so, dear?"
12678But when they had entered the smooth park driveway, he came out with it:"Do you think that I respect that obstacle?
12678Ca n''t you use your drag with Norcross somehow?
12678Can you guess it?"
12678Can you prove it?"
12678Can you think that I believe such moonshine even if you do?
12678Could you come as well on Friday?"
12678Dear, might I touch your arm?
12678Did she stand again on the edge of revelation?
12678Did you ever consider,"she went on,"that no fraud invents anything; that he is only imitating something genuine?
12678Do I need to go on?"
12678Do n''t you think you might tell me your name?"
12678Do you hear?"
12678Do you or do n''t you?"
12678Do you see now what happened?
12678Do you understand that, dearie?"
12678Do you want advice?"
12678Does that go?"
12678Does that satisfy you?"
12678Dr. Blake gathered up the little old woman in his arms, and spoke over his shoulder to the blonde girl:"You will come with us?"
12678Fife?"
12678Has she got a cinch on a relative of yours?"
12678Have n''t her controls told her that?
12678Have n''t we talked enough?
12678Have you ever noticed what bully travelers''tales you get out of adventures in bargaining?
12678He formed that conclusion, but,"How do you like America after India?"
12678He found himself at length apostrophizing a brick wall,"Who could believe it?"
12678He turned at low speed north, and as his hands moved over wheels and levers, she was asking:"How did you happen to be here?"
12678How are you goin''to git me into the house?"
12678How is she?
12678How should I identify myself?
12678I have stolen this morning-- would you rob me in turn?"
12678I suppose you can play housekeeper well enough to keep the place a month, ca n''t you?"
12678I think of nothing but this all day-- why do you make it harder?
12678I''ve told you that she''s held two materializing seances for Robert H. Norcross, have n''t I?
12678I_ am_ asking you if you''re willing to risk fifty a week on a pig in a poke?
12678If I have done anything for you to- night, will you return it by setting us down in your automobile?"
12678If I were talking to you over a telephone and you were not sure of my voice, how should I identify myself?
12678If not, why did she telegraph to me when she did?"
12678In fairness, that is so, is it not?"
12678Interested because it is yours and she loves you, perhaps-- but basically?
12678Is it a big house?"
12678Is she, keeping her soul for you in a life which I hope is better-- is she interested in whether or no you make a little more money and position?
12678Is she-- does she belong to your party?"
12678It was he himself who had risen from his chair, was leaning over the table, was asking:"What do you mean?
12678Mrs. Markham, shall we bargain?"
12678Must I tell you any more?"
12678Now was it me makin''that voice, or the spirit?
12678Or better-- looting?
12678Or does Berkeley Center seem primitive and far away?"
12678Question was, where was the bell?
12678Remember how he had you while you listened?
12678Remember how you believed like he did and felt everything was right and you could do anything?
12678See that table over in the corner?
12678See?"
12678See?"
12678Shall I particularize?
12678Shall I tell you all she said?"
12678Shall I tell you how it seemed to me?
12678She will know--""Her spirits?"
12678So what risk do you take even if you_ are_ caught?
12678Tell me-- what do you mean?"
12678That is only natural, is it not?
12678That she must n''t marry because it would destroy her powers?
12678That she''s been taught to believe that she will never develop fully until she''s put aside an earthly love?"
12678The Vango trumpet seances were doin''too well to suit that lyin'', fakin'', Spirit Truth outfit in Brooklyn-- wasn''t that the bell?"
12678The newspapers, Mr. Norcross--""Would any newspaper believe you?"
12678The young man let out an agitated"did n''t I?"
12678Then, with a few refined convulsions, Rosalie awoke, rubbed her eyes, and said in her tinkling natural voice:"Was I out long?
12678This being so, what tack should she take?
12678Was this patient a medical or surgical case?
12678Were you afraid of Mrs. Markham?
12678What are we goin''to do then?
12678What did you do last night?"
12678What do I read the personals in the magazines for?
12678What do you mean by this?
12678What for?
12678What had that ever brought, what could it ever bring, except advertising and vague standing?
12678What is the use of concealment?
12678What should I offer to-- well, to that one among the disembodied who means most to me?
12678What was I saying?
12678What was it?"
12678What was the matter?"
12678What was the something?
12678What''s the ten or twenty years I''ve got to live in this world, compared with all that''s waiting us out there?
12678Where were you last night-- what did you do?"
12678Where would Mrs. Markham have a cabinet if she ever done materializin''?
12678Which of your spirits"--he was bold enough for the moment to make light of her sacred places--"sent you out- of- doors just before I passed?"
12678Why are you always so mysterious with me?
12678Why did you ask that question?"
12678Why do you trouble me so?"
12678Why wo n''t you leave me alone?"
12678Why-- when I want to know everything about you?"
12678Why?
12678Will you make an appointment?"
12678Wo n''t you wait until I know?
12678Would he have answered me?"
12678Would n''t it be better, in your present condition of suspicion, if I try to see what we can do without seeming any further to inspect you?
12678Would n''t that identify me to you?"
12678Would not you do the same?
12678Would you imperil truth?''
12678Would you like her?"
12678Would you mind my coming to the point at once?
12678Would you mind sitting a little further away?
12678You have been commanded to enter the other room then, turn out the light, lift a trap, let down a rope ladder, descend it, and say certain things?"
12678You have been commanded to rise when you hear music?"
12678You know the locket I showed you?"
12678You''d know Theodore Roosevelt if you saw him first time, would n''t you?
12678You''ll have to be neater if you expect to make a good wife to the dark gentleman--""Will it be him?"
12678You''re on the way to the dining- car are n''t you?
12678Your wish is about the affections, ai n''t it, dearie?"
12678[ Illustration: ANNETTE]"I am a physician,"he said simply,"Get the porter, will you?"
12678_ Who_ do you suppose it was?
12678she asked,"with a doctor at hand?
12678she cried,"ca n''t you see what she''s aiming at?
12678she cried;"he was only an incident-- won''t you hear me?"
12678she exclaimed;"and why-- oh, do n''t touch me-- don''t come near-- can''t you see it makes it harder for me to renounce?"
12678she said half aloud,"that a smart young man like him never thought to ask whose room it was I found the trap in?"
1720A scientific interest, I suppose?
1720About you?
1720Am I cleared? 1720 And how did you get on the track of all this hidden history?"
1720And how do you propose to play the detective?
1720And if that is the truth,said Horne Fisher,"are you going to tell it?"
1720And that is?
1720And what is that?
1720And what is that?
1720And what may that be?
1720And what was that?
1720And who is Usher?
1720And who''s a funk, either? 1720 And why should that particular hole in the ground have anything to do with it?"
1720And why?
1720And you have nothing more immediate than your topography to offer,said Brain, with a sneer,"to help me avenge my friend?"
1720Are n''t you going to dress up?
1720Are you a first- class criminal?
1720Are you a monk?
1720Are you sure?
1720As bad as all that?
1720As they say in the examinations, what did you fail in?
1720Because keeping hens is rather a mild amusement for a poacher? 1720 But how did it happen,"demanded Crane,"that for the first time Bulmer fell in at that particular spot?"
1720But in that case,he cried, in a new and altered voice,"why then of course-- You said a piece of steel--?"
1720But in that case,said March, frowning,"at what sort of unearthly hour in the morning was the murder really committed?
1720But what could it be?
1720But what is to be done?
1720But what will the Chief do at Birmingham without the epigrams whispered to him by his brilliant secretary?
1720But why?
1720But would n''t the shot be heard at the inn or somewhere?
1720But, after all, what could you expect?''
1720By the way, is there any news of anything?
1720Can you see anything there?
1720Could I have a word with you, sir?
1720Could he have thrown down the statue after he''d stripped the corpse?
1720Could n''t this have been an accident?
1720Dare one suggest,he said,"that some of the things we have been talking about are among the old things that turn out not to be old?"
1720Did Mary Cregan give evidence?
1720Did he tell you what he and Hastings were doing?
1720Did you get anything out of him?
1720Did you hear that cry?
1720Did you know him well?
1720Did you know this unfortunate man?
1720Did you notice that sort of flash or flicker the candle gave before it was extinguished? 1720 Did you quarrel with him?"
1720Did you think I had found nothing but filth in the deep seas into which fate has thrown me? 1720 Did you think there was nothing but evil at the bottom of them?"
1720Do n''t you see that they''re condemning him for the very reason for which they acquit everybody else? 1720 Do n''t you think agricultural laborers would rather have three acres and a cow than three acres of printed forms and a committee?
1720Do n''t you think this is infamous?
1720Do we know anything about him?
1720Do you call that an explanation?
1720Do you collect omnibuses like stamps?
1720Do you know that mood when one could scream because a mat is crooked?
1720Do you know what that means?
1720Do you mean that girl Bridget Royce?
1720Do you mean that you saw the murder?
1720Do you mean to say,asked Crane, quickly,"that there really was a well?"
1720Do you mean to say,asked Grayne,"that this infernal crime is not to be punished?"
1720Do you mean to say,he asked,"that you know more about the business here because you have come from London?"
1720Do you really mean,he said,"that Colonel Morris took the relic?"
1720Do you think England is so little as all that?
1720Do you think I do n''t know you''re always talking about my damned debts and expectations?
1720Does a big fish ever break the line and get away?
1720Fits in with what?
1720Guatemalan Golcondas, was n''t it?
1720Has she turned king''s evidence to that extent?
1720Have they been used in the removal of the relic from downstairs?
1720Have you discovered anything in there?
1720Have you ever considered what it must be like to be a man who does n''t exist? 1720 Have you heard the news?"
1720Hope?
1720How can you possibly see a man?
1720How do you know they are not the secret emissaries of our diplomacy?
1720How was he dressed?
1720How would you begin now?
1720I mean what else could you expect, after making such a muck of it?
1720I suppose you do n''t believe in spirits?
1720If we want country people to vote for us, why do n''t we get somebody with some notion about the country? 1720 If we want to attack Verner, why not attack him?
1720If you agree with us, why the devil do n''t you act with us?
1720If you think it''s right, why do n''t you do what''s right? 1720 Is Sir Howard Horne your cousin?"
1720Is it as bad as all that?
1720Is it like St. Paul''s Cathedral?
1720Is that the real reason of your pious alarms?
1720It is certainly an idea,said Sir Walter, smiling,"but what about the balcony?
1720Look here,said Crane, planting himself in front of him,"can you tell me anything about this business?"
1720Now, how does a man search a revolving bookcase? 1720 Outside?"
1720Poor old who?
1720Studying botany, or is it archaeology?
1720Surely you do n''t mean Jefferson Jenkins, the social reformer? 1720 The meaning of the outrages on Orientals?"
1720There are other windows, are n''t there?
1720Torwood Park does n''t belong to your cousin?
1720Was he alive and well?
1720Was he blind? 1720 Well?"
1720What about me, then?
1720What are you doing with that?
1720What are you going to do next?
1720What are you waiting for?
1720What bad news do you mean?
1720What crime do you mean?
1720What do you mean,asked Boyle,"what mistakes?"
1720What do you mean? 1720 What do you mean?
1720What do you mean?
1720What do you mean?
1720What do you mean?
1720What do you mean?
1720What do you mean?
1720What do you mean?
1720What does all this mean?
1720What does it all mean?
1720What has the bottomless well got to do with it?
1720What have you done about it?
1720What is it?
1720What is it?
1720What is the matter?
1720What is the meaning of this social satire?
1720What man?
1720What on earth are you talking about?
1720What on earth do you mean? 1720 What on earth do you mean?"
1720What on earth do you mean?
1720What on earth is the trouble?
1720What place?
1720What the deuce are you talking about?
1720What the devil do you mean?
1720What would you propose doing?
1720Where is Usher?
1720Where is the Prime Minister?
1720Who said you had?
1720Who''s a child?
1720Why are you the officer in charge now?
1720Why can you conduct the inquiry on your own lines now? 1720 Why did he quarrel with you?"
1720Why do you cry out before you''re hurt?
1720Why do you object?
1720Why not open my mind''s eye for me? 1720 Why should you, of all people, be so passionate about it?"
1720Why, do n''t you know,he observed quietly,"that I am the fool of the family?"
1720Why, you lunatic,cried Henry, in tones of ringing sincerity,"you do n''t suppose you were meant to_ win_ the seat, did you?
1720Wo n''t you sit down?
1720Yes, and what of that?
1720Yes,remarked Fisher,"and what about the bottomless well?"
1720You do n''t mean to say you suspect Tom Travers?
1720You have heard of the magi, perhaps? 1720 You mean you''re staying here with your uncle, like a good boy?"
1720After a pause, Cuthbert Grayne said,"And what are we to say to the newspapers?"
1720Am I not going to be cleared?"
1720And how else could he have unclothed a man covered with that stone monument?
1720And that suggests a very queer idea, does n''t it?"
1720And who was he?
1720And why do n''t they attack men like Verner for what they are, which is something about as old and traditional as an American oil trust?"
1720Are you coming up there now?"
1720Army contracts?"
1720Besides-- Hullo, who''s that up there?"
1720But how do you know about the letter?"
1720But if so, why do you degrade yourself to serve this dirty foreigner, when you at least saw the last of a genuine national gentry?
1720But is it best?
1720But we can all back you up, ca n''t we?
1720But who knows?"
1720But who was the spy who stole the papers?"
1720But why do they turn up here at this time of night?"
1720But why?"
1720But, to begin with, will you tell me something?
1720Crane?"
1720Did I have it carried away by seven flying dragons, or was it merely a trifling matter of turning it into a milk- white hind?"
1720Did anybody here actually see Lord Bulmer this morning?"
1720Did he call out because he landed in the water, do you think?"
1720Did n''t I hear that Harker was down here?"
1720Did n''t you know Halkett wrote Burke''s book for him?
1720Did n''t you notice that he only fell on the slope of soft grass underneath?
1720Did you ever hear of an artist so clever that he could draw with a gun?
1720Do you know many people called Tompkins?
1720Do you know the Arab legend about that well?"
1720Do you remember that silly talk about how old Isaac could always play his fish?
1720Do you suppose he has n''t always known you as an honest man who would say these things when he got a chance?
1720Do you suppose that Attwood has n''t always known them?
1720Do you think it bad news?"
1720Fisher?"
1720For instance, we both want to turn Verner out of Parliament, but what weapon are we to use?
1720Had you any guess of this at the start?"
1720Has your chief come down yet?"
1720Have n''t you come down here to see Number One before he goes on to Birmingham?"
1720Have you developed a new theory about how this fellow escaped out of the ring round him?"
1720Have you ever had that mystical feeling that things have happened before?"
1720Have you ever heard of irreligious mania?
1720Hawker?"
1720He precipitated himself at it, calling out,"I say, does that connect?"
1720Horne Fisher continued:"Are you only a servant, perhaps, that rather sinister old servant who was butler to Hawker and Verner?
1720How can we make a democracy with no democrats?
1720How could we know you were going to be-- well, really, such a rotten failure?"
1720How did it all come to be like that?"
1720How did it come about, I wonder, that the elder officers are not here to interfere with anything you do?"
1720I mean did you see the statue fall?"
1720I mean that are not there now?"
1720I''ve heard a lot of gossip against him, but is it right to act on mere gossip?
1720If I ran your unfortunate friend through the body, what did I do with the body?
1720If he was alive, it might be you who killed him, or why should you have held your tongue about his death?
1720Is it any worse when a whole great nation is set free as well as a family?
1720Is there anyone else you could be?
1720Like a bad dream come true, was n''t it?"
1720Might be a pun on my pottering about here, might n''t it?"
1720Now there are two things that are puzzling people about that problem, are n''t there?
1720Oil?
1720Or blind drunk?"
1720Or do you keep them in your locker?"
1720Shall I tell you the second hint I hit on, after yours, to make me think it was Jenkins?
1720Tell the truth?"
1720The other four men had already gathered on the same spot and almost simultaneously were calling out to him,"What does he say now?"
1720The required silence remained unbroken for a long time until at last the clergyman said to Symon in a low voice:"I suppose it''s all right about air?"
1720Then after another silence he added:"Do you remember when we first met, when you were fishing in that brook in the affair of the target?
1720There was a faint stir in the stillness, and the magician said,"Can you see what is in the pocket?"
1720There was a heavy silence, and at last Harold March said,"But where is the real relic?"
1720There was another pause and the inquirer added,"Do you see anything of the relic itself?"
1720There was another silence, and then Sir Walter said, quietly:"What sort of notion have you really got in your head, Fisher?
1720Usher?
1720Well, why did not Boyle do it?
1720What about poaching eggs?"
1720What can I do for you?"
1720What could I do?
1720What did he make his money in?
1720What do you think of this Burgundy?
1720What do you think we should do next?"
1720What else should he do?
1720What hope can there ever be of a free peasantry in England if the peasants themselves are such snobs as to want to be gentlemen?
1720What is all this botheration about Sir Isaac and the rest of you?
1720What really happened when you met Bulmer this morning?
1720What will happen if I try to divide this estate decently among decent people?"
1720What''s become of that fellow in green-- the architect dressed up as a forester?
1720What''s the matter with you?"
1720What?
1720When you went through his papers in such a hurry, Harker, were n''t you looking for something to-- to make sure it should n''t be found?"
1720Where does he come from?
1720Where''s his nephew?
1720Who could you be, now?
1720Who is Verner?
1720Why compliment him on being a romantic reactionary aristocrat?
1720Why could n''t he speak?
1720Why do n''t we give the squire''s land to the squire''s tenants, instead of dragging in the county council?"
1720Why do n''t you speak plainer?"
1720Why do we talk to people in Somerset about nothing but slums and socialism?
1720Why does Attwood unmuzzle you like a dog at this moment, after all these years?
1720Why does n''t somebody start a yeoman party in politics, appealing to the old traditions of the small landowner?
1720Why talk about his blue blood?
1720Why was he able to stand in the place of the scarecrow, hidden by nothing but an old hat?
1720Will you?"
1720asked Morton,"and a door, of course, somewhere round the corner?
1720cried March,"shall we never get to the bottom of your mines and countermines?"
1720demanded March,"or the accident?
1720he cried,"have you seen what''s outside?"
1720remarked Harry, humorously,"you beginning to take notice?"
1720what_ is_ a man ashamed of nowadays?"
14896All that being true,Chief Arkwright suggested tentatively,"perhaps you can give us some information as to the diamonds that were stolen?
14896And I believe, too, that you once did some special work for Professor Henri Moissan in Paris?
14896And his eyes?
14896And his nose? 14896 And if the weight is identical?"
14896And if you do n''t get an answer?
14896And its value?
14896And now, Mr. Czenki, speaking as an expert, what would you say was the most perfect diamond the world?
14896And now, you ask, where do they come from?
14896And that she is the only heir of her grandfather?
14896And the weight?
14896And then, if nothing comes?
14896And then?
14896And what of Haney''s description? 14896 And what was the result?"
14896And you do n''t deny that you were Red Haney''s accomplice?
14896And_ why_ do n''t you believe it?
14896Anyhow, gendlemens,he remarked,"dat young man has a hell of a lod of diamonds, ain''d i d?"
14896Approximately, I mean?
14896Are you quite certain?
14896As a matter of fact, were any diamonds_ ever_ found in the United States?
14896Became of what?
14896Black, you mean?
14896Brown sugar?
14896But how do you know he makes them?
14896But how do you know they are_ made?_insisted Mr. Latham doggedly.
14896But if it does n''t, Gene?
14896But is it safe, Gene?
14896But it''s preposterous on the face of it, is n''t it? 14896 But why should they do all this?"
14896By the way, what sort of old man is this Mr. Kellner? 14896 By the way,"he continued deliberately,"who are_ you?_ What do_ you_ know about it?"
14896By the way,he continued deliberately,"who are_ you?_ What do_ you_ know about it?"
14896By wireless, perhaps?
14896Den, if dey were_ nod_ smuggled in, dey are somewhere on der records of der Custom House, ain''d i d?
14896Did she carry a small gripsack?
14896Did you ever hear of the French scientist, Charles Friedel?
14896Did you happen to look in the cab after the young woman left it?
14896Do I understand that you refuse to let me go?
14896Do n''t you know that they get every number I call? 14896 Do n''t you see what this man has done?
14896Do n''t you understand? 14896 Do n''t you understand?
14896Do ve understand you prove him by dese?
14896Do you believe it possible, Mr. Czenki,he asked deliberately,"that Mr. Wynne has found these diamond fields?"
14896Do you believe, Laadham, it vould be bossible to smuggle in dwenty, d''irty, ein hundred million dollars of diamonds?
14896Does that constitute an alibi?
14896Doris, my dear girl, what_ are_ you doing here?
14896Empty, did you say?
14896Empty?
14896Even if we accept the proposition, Schultze, how can we raise that enormous sum within a year, and preserve the secret?
14896From here?
14896Gentlemen, are you convinced?
14896Go away?
14896Guilty of what?
14896Guilty?
14896Had any fares since?
14896Have you gone through your morning mail?
14896Have you heard from him-- out there?
14896Have you made,Mr. Latham began, and there was an odd, uncertain note in his voice--"Have you made an expert examination?"
14896He has-- what?
14896Heavy eyebrows, I suppose?
14896How dare you?
14896How do you_ know_ he makes them? 14896 How long has he lived here?"
14896How much were they worth?
14896I believe you said, Mr. Wynne, that you could prove any assertion you might make, here and now?
14896I d seems to me,interposed Mr. Schultze,"dat if der Koh- i- noor vas missing somebody would haf heard, ain''d i d?
14896I understood you to say,the chief resumed, heedless of the note of irony in the other''s voice,"that you and Miss Kellner are to be married?"
14896If Haney came here alone, killed this old man and stole the diamonds there would be none of these questions, would there?
14896Is it possible that they might have been found in the-- in the United States?
14896Is that all?
14896Is there one lingering doubt in any mind here as to the tremendous find which makes the production of all those possible?
14896It would not be possible to say where-- where such a stone came from-- what country?
14896Just what was the time of the crime, may I ask?
14896Maybe you haf_ him_ in der backage, alretty?
14896Mr. Birnes, where was I all day Saturday?
14896Mr. Czenki, have you any very definite idea as to where those diamonds came from?
14896My God, gentlemen, do n''t you see?
14896Not even the Koh- i- noor?
14896Oh, Mr. Claflin, will you step in just a moment, please?
14896Perhaps, Chief, there may be some mistake?
14896Perhaps,he suggested slowly,"perhaps he had a scar on his face?"
14896Put one hundred million dollars into diamonds in one year-- just the five of us?
14896Rather a pretty girl, twenty- two or three years old? 14896 Say, Jew, is them real diamonds?"
14896See what?
14896So I should not have come?
14896So your disappearance Friday night, and your absence all day yesterday did have to do with this old man''s death?
14896Some more chimericals?
14896Some more fandastics, eh, Laadham?
14896Suppose-- suppose something_ has_ happened?
14896That''s the diamond you examined for me this morning, is n''t it?
14896That''s true, is n''t it?
14896That''s true, is n''t it?
14896The diamonds, man-- what became of the diamonds?
14896The people there can satisfy you as to her whereabouts on Saturday?
14896Then what became of them?
14896Therefore, at his death, the diamonds would become her property?
14896Therefore, indirectly, it would have been to_ your_ advantage if Mr. Kellner had died or had been killed?
14896This is Mr. Sutton, is n''t it?
14896Vere does he ged dem? 14896 Vere else in der United States haf diamonds been found, Czenki?"
14896We are to assume that you are guilty, then?
14896Well, what do_ you_ know about it?
14896Well, what have you got to say for yourself?
14896Well?
14896Well?
14896What about that?
14896What did she look like? 14896 What do you know about this, anyway, Czenki?"
14896What does he look like-- this man who gave them to you? 14896 What does it mean?"
14896What is it, please?
14896What is your proposition?
14896What is your proposition?
14896What kind of man was he-- a tramp?
14896What town was it?
14896What''s it worth?
14896What''s to- day?
14896What''s your opinion?
14896What-- what does it mean?
14896When was this?
14896Where are they, Czenki?
14896Where did you get them?
14896Where is that?
14896Which are the detectives?
14896Who gave them to you?
14896Who was that man?
14896Who was the man you robbed?
14896Whose are they?
14896Whose diamonds were they?
14896Why are they locked up?
14896Why are they sent to us like this, with no name, no letter of explanation? 14896 Why don''d you ged egzited aboud i d, Laadham?"
14896Why have you been watched?
14896Why should n''t I go away? 14896 Why, what do_ you_ know, Birnes?"
14896Why?
14896Would it be impertinent if I ask who owns this?
14896Yes,he admitted;"but how do you know all this, Birnes?"
14896Yesterday morning,Mr. Wynne mused; then, after a moment:"I think, Chief, you know Mr. Birnes here?
14896You and the girl decided to give it up?
14896You are William Johns?
14896You are sure you do n''t know this other man''s name?
14896You are sure, Haney?
14896You do n''t deny that you killed him?
14896You gentlemen know, of course, the natural shape of the diamond in the rough?
14896You held the Koh- i- noor in your hand, and you would be able to identify it?
14896You know that diamonds have been made?
14896You may remember having heard me mention him?
14896You said der vorld''s oudpud had been increased fiftyfold?
14896You will have to wait for a couple of hours or so, at least, so if you would like to take off your things?
14896You''ve never seen them made, have you?
14896_ Mein Gott_, Laadham, how do you know when you haf der boil on der pack of your neck? 14896 _ Mein Gott_, vere_ iss_ i d?"
14896_ Vas iss?_ Dey are nod being send for our healdh!
14896_ Vas iss?_demanded Mr. Schultze curiously.
14896_ Vas iss?_demanded Mr. Schultze quickly.
14896_ Where_ did you find them?
14896_ Why_ did you come here?
14896Again he faced the tramp:"Haney, do you know how much the diamonds you had were worth?"
14896And how were these pigeons shipped?
14896And that you would accept a statement of his as correct?"
14896And where does he get them?"
14896Are you satisfied_ now_?"
14896At eight you--""Is that sufficient?"
14896Big or little?
14896But why did he take that useless cab ride up Fifth Avenue?
14896But, do n''t you see, if you do n''t accept the proposition he made the diamond market of the world is ruined?
14896But_ was_ he being taken into Mr. Wynne''s confidence?
14896CHAPTER IV THE UNLIMITED SUPPLY"If you will all be seated again, please?"
14896Could it be possible?
14896Did a Mr. Wynne live next door?
14896Did he own the house?
14896Did these two men mean to say that they were real diamonds, but that they were_ manufactured?_ Mr. Latham''s tidy little imagination balked at that.
14896Do n''t you know that within fifteen minutes they will have that number, and their men will start for there?"
14896Do n''t you see?
14896Do n''t you understand?
14896Do we understand that you have more than these ready for market now?"
14896Do you see it?"
14896Do you understand now?"
14896Don''d you ged i d?"
14896For instance?"
14896Gene, do n''t you see that I''m frantic with anxiety?
14896Have you_ seen_ him make them?"
14896Heavy or thin?"
14896His accusation?"
14896How did he get rid of them?
14896How long had he lived there?
14896How many were there?"
14896How much did he weigh?"
14896How much were they worth?
14896How was she dressed?"
14896How, without inviting defeat in the fight he was making?
14896How, without leaving an open trail behind him?
14896I gathered, however, that they were worth a large sum of money-- perhaps, even a million dollars?"
14896If he had no objection to any one knowing his address, why did he go so far out of his way?
14896Is Mr. Latham there?
14896Is all well?
14896Is he wealthy?"
14896Is it clear, sir?"
14896Is n''t it possible that those_ are_ Brazilian diamonds?
14896Is that clear to all of you?"
14896Is that correct?"
14896Is that what you are driving at?
14896Iss Czenki here?
14896It might be necessary for him to go out there, and how could he do it?
14896Its value?
14896Kellner?"
14896Latham?"
14896Latham?"
14896Mr. Czenki made a misdake der oder day-- maybe you make i d to- day?"
14896Now what the deuce did it mean?
14896Oh, there_ were?_.
14896So that was it, eh?
14896Sometimes she dresses in blue?"
14896That he has smuggled them in concealed in the sugar- bags, right into New York, under the noses of the customs officials?
14896That new workings have been discovered somewhere in the interior?
14896The chief stared straight into the young man''s eyes for an instant, and then:"And Mr. Kellner''s family?"
14896The telephone?"
14896Then what?
14896Und dat brings us down to der question, How many diamonds are made alretty?"
14896Vere does he ged dem?"
14896What are you talking about?"
14896What color was his hair?"
14896What did it mean?
14896What does he do?
14896What was the time of the crime?"
14896Where did you meet him?
14896Where does he keep them?
14896Who knows?"
14896Whoever heard of a diamond as big as the Koh- i- noor, or the Regent, or the Orloff being made?
14896Why ca n''t I go away again?"
14896Would a man with a million dollars''worth of diamonds live in a hovel like this?"
14896Would you mind stepping inside for a moment?"
14896You can''d zee him, ain''d i d?"
14896You understand?"
14896Zeidt?"
14896_ Why_ did he give them to you?"
10556''And did it_ never_ strike you,''asked the magistrate with a smile,''that the letters you received might be forgeries?'' 10556 ''And in the morning when you took in the tea?''
10556''And that is the last you saw of the deceased?'' 10556 ''And the jewels?
10556''And though you saw him again then, you can not tell us if you would know him again?'' 10556 ''And when you listened at her door at ten o''clock,''asked Sir James,''did you try to open it?''
10556''And you made no attempt later on in the day to adjust any ill- feeling that may have existed between you and him?'' 10556 ''And, of course, you heard no noise of any kind in the room then?''
10556''Are you quite sure?'' 10556 ''At what time did he leave?''
10556''At what time was that?'' 10556 ''But how do you account for Kershaw knowing all your movements?''
10556''But not on his?'' 10556 ''But you knew this man Kershaw,''persisted his Honour,''since you wrote to him?''
10556''Can I give this man in charge?'' 10556 ''Can you describe the man who assaulted you?''
10556''Can you tell me of anyone here or abroad who might have heard of your movements, and of the date of your arrival?'' 10556 ''Did Lady Donaldson usually lock her bedroom at night?''
10556''Did he give you any name?'' 10556 ''Did she speak at all about this nephew of hers or about her money affairs?
10556''Did the bottle found in her satchel contain prussic acid?'' 10556 ''Did you look at the contents, then?''
10556''Did you not think it strange, Colonel?'' 10556 ''Do I understand, then, Dr. Jones, that the deceased died, poisoned with prussic acid?''
10556''Do you know at all where she intended to go when she got into the Underground Railway?'' 10556 ''Do you recollect at all at what time that was?''
10556''From which we may gather that there may have been-- shall I say-- a slight disagreement at that interview?'' 10556 ''Had Mr. Campbell made a special entry in his book, as to the visit of the lady in question?''
10556''Had he any special means of ascertaining when that visit did actually take place?'' 10556 ''Had you done so the day before?''
10556''How could they be?'' 10556 ''How?''
10556''I suppose you would not do such a thing as to listen, Mary?'' 10556 ''In your opinion, then, the lady caused her own death by taking a dose of that drug?''
10556''Is the jury to understand, then, that you and the deceased parted on amicable terms after your interview with him in the morning?'' 10556 ''It looks as if he had been strangled, do n''t it?''
10556''Never wrote to him?'' 10556 ''No-- but--''"''What record had he of the visit?''
10556''Now then, stop that nonsense,''pronounced D 21 severely,''what were you doing here this time o''night, anyway?'' 10556 ''Now, Mr. O''Neill, will you tell me if that is your signature?''
10556''The streets o''London is free to the public, ai n''t they?'' 10556 ''Then you ca n''t tell us at what time the prisoner left the house finally?''
10556''Then you can throw no light upon these mysterious letters? 10556 ''Then you only thought by the_ outside_ look of the paper that it was the same?''
10556''Then, after a few minutes''waiting, you gave his lordship the card? 10556 ''Under what circumstances was that engagement broken off?''
10556''Wait? 10556 ''Well, then, what happened?''
10556''What for?'' 10556 ''What in the world was he doing this foggy night all alone, and on foot?''
10556''What is his occupation, then? 10556 ''What is that?''
10556''What name was there on the card?'' 10556 ''What was he like?''
10556''When he left?'' 10556 ''Where are you for, lady?''
10556''Would you object to my searching all your servants''boxes?'' 10556 ''Would you tell us at what time you returned to Brockelsby Castle?''
10556''You are quite sure?'' 10556 ''You are quite sure?''
10556''You did not think of asking him the name of the firm for which he travelled?'' 10556 ''You were engaged to Miss Edith Crawford at one time, were you not?''
10556And may I ask what, in your opinion, these reasons are?
10556And the tramp?
10556But I do n''t understand--"How the murder was committed?
10556But the money? 10556 But the ring?"
10556But then, who murdered Lady Donaldson, and why?
10556But what object would a man in Mr. Morton''s position have for playing such extraordinary pranks?
10556Can not you guess?
10556Can you tell me at all what he was like?
10556Can you wonder, then, that the jury absolutely refused to bring in a verdict against George Higgins? 10556 Dangerous?
10556Do you know how that deadly poison was injected into the poor woman''s system? 10556 Do you know if he was tall or short, dark or fair?"
10556Do you know who that is?
10556Do you think that such a nature would hesitate a moment before committing a crime to save the loved one from the consequences of that deed? 10556 Does n''t it strike you that there are at least two very strong points against that theory?"
10556Have I not placed the case clearly enough before you? 10556 Have you ever felt real sympathy with a criminal or a thief?"
10556Have you ever noticed them? 10556 How can one tell to an inch or two?"
10556How did it come about that the landlord of the Torriani Hotel was brought into court at all? 10556 I beg your pardon?"
10556I should say that he was of medium height--"Five foot eight, nine, or ten?
10556I told you how fond she was of her deformed godson, did I not? 10556 In the middle of the day?"
10556Is n''t it?
10556Is n''t there? 10556 Lavender was murdered, was n''t he?
10556Murder? 10556 Neither fair nor dark-- his nose--""Well, what was his nose like?
10556Nonsense, is it?
10556Not so with the Earl of Brockelsby,said Polly,"and I''ve often maintained--""What?"
10556So you, too, believe in the''caretaker, wrapped up in a shawl,''cleaning her front steps?
10556Suicide? 10556 Surely, you do n''t mean?"
10556Surely, you do n''t mean?
10556Surely----"Think of a curious nature, warped morally, as well as physically-- do you know how those natures feel? 10556 That Wethered was murdered and robbed at the very moment that he carried the will in his pocket, whilst another was being forged in its place?"
10556That man was never seen nor heard of again?
10556That the Earl of Brockelsby changed clothes with Beddingfield in order more conveniently to murder his own brother? 10556 The guilty?"
10556Then you think it was mere coincidence?
10556To begin with, the question of money,she said--"has any more of it been traced so far?"
10556To have planned out the whole thing? 10556 Two?"
10556Were you ever interested in the Regent''s Park murder?
10556What''s that?
10556What?
10556What?
10556When did she try to sell them the earrings?
10556Who do you think--"Who do I think knew at that moment that young Schwarz had money in his possession?
10556Who knew of the presence of the diamonds in the house of Mr. Shipman and Mr. Knopf? 10556 Who knows?
10556Who, indeed, but the Prince and his secretary?
10556Why should I doubt it? 10556 You believe, then, in the existence of that nephew?"
10556You do n''t say so?
10556You do n''t see that there is one point clear which to me was the key of the whole thing? 10556 You do n''t?"
10556You do not see how that murder was committed?
10556You mean the heroine of the York mystery?
10556You remember that he had been clerk in the bank? 10556 You see that it was a curious point, do n''t you?"
10556You would like to know who murdered that old woman?
10556''I have proved to you, have I not, that I never wrote those letters, and that the man-- er-- Kershaw is his name?--was not murdered by me?''
10556''Is it Suicide or Murder?''
10556''Is there any one in this court at all like the gentleman you speak of?''
10556''What does he do?
10556And this is his mother-- a clever woman, was n''t she?"
10556And, secondly, why should he have typewritten his letters to his wife?"
10556Are there many men for whom a woman of the better middle class, and an Englishwoman, would be ready to perjure herself?
10556As I said, it would be a great boon if English tradesmen studied Gotha more; but it was clever, was n''t it?
10556As I was going out of the room I heard Lady Donaldson saying:"Have you managed it, my dear?"
10556But then, who in the world was the mysterious individual who had apprised Kershaw of the movements of Smethurst, the millionaire?"
10556But what did it mean?
10556CHAPTER XI MR. ERRINGTON"Did you ever see Mr. Errington, the gentleman so closely connected with the mysterious death on the Underground Railway?"
10556CHAPTER XXIV AN UNPARALLELED OUTRAGE"Do you care for the seaside?"
10556CHAPTER XXXV SUICIDE OR MURDER?
10556Dark and deserted it is in all conscience, is it not?
10556Did a crooked mind really dwell in that crooked body, and were there in the world such crimes that were great enough to be deemed sublime?
10556Did you or did you not on October 27th receive a letter from the accused, in which she desired to be released from her promise of marriage to you?''
10556Did you really think that I was going to let you quietly walk out of here, straight to the police- station, eh?
10556Did_ that_ never strike you?"
10556Do n''t you remember how John O''Neill heard the words''liar''and''deceit''?
10556Do you believe that he entered into conversation with him?
10556Do you care for that?"
10556Do you know by whom?"
10556Errington?''
10556Errington?''
10556Errington?''
10556Had Polly been commenting audibly upon it?
10556Have you ever seen Oranmore in court?
10556Have you ever seen Smethurst?"
10556How could she be expected to remember Maud Allan or the Palace Theatre, or Dickie himself for a matter of that?
10556How did Sir Arthur Inglewood come on his track?"
10556How do you account for these two letters, in fact?''
10556I proved that to you, did n''t I, over that robbery in Phillimore Terrace?
10556I quite admit that you could not do this unless you also had a friend--""A friend?
10556I''ve held my tongue long enough, and--''"''Look here, Lavender,''said Lord Arthur,''do you know what this little game of yours is called in law?''
10556Is it not simpler to suppose that the thief had taken the precaution to drug the jeweller_ before_ the latter went to bed?"
10556It was a curious case, was n''t it?
10556It was sad, was n''t it?"
10556Kershaw''s story that he had once been called Barker, and had committed a murder thirty years ago, was never proved, was it?
10556Knopf?''
10556May I rely on your co- operation?''
10556Morton?''
10556Mr. Winslow''s jewels?''
10556Mrs. Hazeldene was going that night to the opera with her husband--"You are astonished?"
10556My wife had an independent fortune of her own-- she had no extravagant tastes--''"''Nor any friend you at any time objected to?''
10556No one else could have come in without ringing at the door?''
10556No?
10556Now why?"
10556Now, what was Mr. Morton''s position?
10556Pettitt?''
10556Remember the maid''s statement:''My lady said:"Have you put them back, my dear?"
10556Robert de Genneville''s death?''
10556SUICIDE OR MURDER?
10556She had had countless arguments with Mr. Richard Frobisher as to the three great possible solutions of the puzzle--"Accident, Suicide, Murder?"
10556She nearly lost her balance-- where in the world had he come from?
10556Shipman?''
10556Surely the scoundrel does not have the enjoyment of it still?"
10556That he asked for delay?
10556That he walked by his side?
10556The rest of the drama you know already--""But Percival Brooks?"
10556The_ changeurs_ are only too glad to get them; what do they care where they come from as long as they are genuine?
10556Then he added, placing a small photograph before her:"What strikes you most about the face?"
10556Then who locked and unlocked Lady Donaldson''s door that night while she herself lay dead?
10556Then, again, how is it no one saw him in the company of the swarthy foreigner he described?"
10556There had been, as you no doubt know from personal experience, innumerable arguments on the puzzling alternatives:--"Accident?
10556There were many things she would have wished to ask of him-- what were his proofs, his facts?
10556Timothy Beddingfield, the Birmingham lawyer, is a gentleman who-- well-- has had some misfortunes, shall we say?
10556Twenty- one, is n''t it?"
10556Was it devilry or merely additional caution which prompted Murray to pen that forged will so glaringly in Percival''s favour?
10556What do I always tell you?
10556What do you think of it all yourself?"
10556What do you think?"
10556What had happened?
10556What happened then?''
10556What in the world are you doing here in the dark?''
10556What is his business or profession?''
10556Where was Murray throughout that long and painful day, when his father lay dying-- he, the idolised son, the apple of the old man''s eye?
10556Who knows how many were the debts contracted, the promises made, the money borrowed and obtained on the strength of that claim which was mere romance?
10556Who knows what she meant to do with it in the immediate future?
10556Who knows what ugly gambling debt or debt of honour, suddenly revealed to old Brooks, was the cause of that last and deadly quarrel?
10556Who, then, had made the assignation with William Kershaw at Fenchurch Street railway station?
10556Why in the world should she have waited?
10556Why should I?
10556Why, what was there to do?
10556Why?
10556Why?"
10556Will you give me those beautiful bank- notes?
10556Will you sketch it?"
10556Would you object to my recapitulating its preliminary details?"
10556You can not help the police in any way towards the clearing up of this strange affair?''
10556You gentlemen heard the report just now?''
10556admonished D 21 as soon as he could get a word in,''stop that row, will you?''
10556asked Mr. Buchanan,''that Lord Arthur should so suddenly have changed his mind about seeing his visitor?''
10556but which?"
10556did it ever strike you how paltry that motive really was?"
10556or?''
10556still persisted his Honour,''and his knowing the exact date of your arrival in England?
11913Also what?
11913Am I to have this cabin to myself?
11913And do you mean to tell me,said Eustace, astounded,"that you allowed him to have his confounded will tattooed upon your neck?"
11913And now, Meeson, I suppose that you have explained to my brother the matter on which you require my advice?
11913And to those facts you swear?
11913And what have you done with that young man, Mr. Tombey-- that very nice young man?
11913And who appears for the defendant?
11913And why did you not come in? 11913 Are the gentlemen assembled in the hall?"
11913Are we sinking?
11913Are you a fool? 11913 Are you sure nobody has got a pencil and a bit of paper?"
11913Are you sure?
11913But how am I going to live in a cupboard, or in an iron safe with a lot of wills?
11913But how can you annex Miss Smithers to a''grant of letters of administration,''whatever that may mean?
11913But supposing that there should be an appeal, and the decision should be reversed, what would happen then?
11913By- the- way, Mr. Bill, will you let me look at the tattoo on your arm?
11913Can I come in?
11913Did he leave any message?
11913Did we-- did we? 11913 Did you submit to this tattooing, which must have been painful, with a view of becoming engaged to the plaintiff?"
11913Do I understand you, Mr. Meeson, to mean that you quarrelled with your uncle about me and my books?
11913Do n''t you see that I am on tenterhooks?
11913Do you suppose I pay you to come and eat your filthy sandwiches here?
11913Do you think so?
11913Doing, Mr. Tombey? 11913 Eh,"said Eustace;"what do you mean?"
11913Excuse me; Miss Smithers, I believe?
11913Forgive me for mentioning them, but surely you put on your stays? 11913 Going to New Zealand,"he said,"are you?
11913Gussie,said Eustace, sleepily,"are you quite happy?"
11913Has he gone?
11913Have you any objections to that, my dear?
11913Have you done?
11913Have you got your revolver?
11913Here is the agreement,he said;"let me see?
11913How are you going to write a will without pen or pencil, or paper or ink?
11913How can I steal my own shoulders? 11913 How did you know we were coming?"
11913How do you do, my dear Sir? 11913 How do, uncle?"
11913How on earth are we going to get through?
11913I believe that I have no appointment for this morning?
11913I presume that you know too well what is due to learned counsel to attempt to make one of their body the victim of a practical joke?
11913I want to know if you will marry me next week?
11913Indeed, Mr. Todd, is it? 11913 Is Mr. Todd in?"
11913Is there no hope for me? 11913 It does n''t seem quite fair, does it?
11913Johnson,he said to the butler, when he was sure the footman could not hear him,"has Mr. Eustace been here?"
11913May I offer you the_ Times_?
11913Miss Smithers, do you mean?
11913Mr. Short, I believe?
11913Next week? 11913 No, I have n''t,"said Eustace;"I thought I might as well explain it to you both together, eh?"
11913Not a cuff or a collar?
11913Now is he, Miss?
11913Now then, which is it to be?
11913Now what do you want, you silly boy?
11913Now, Augusta, what shall we do?
11913Now, Mr. Meeson, do you see how you can make your will?
11913Oh, Augusta, Augusta,he said,"do n''t you understand?
11913On the legal ground that the greater the truth, the greater the libel, I presume?
11913One boat got away-- where is it?
11913Possibly,answered John, pettishly;"but how about the remuneration of the plaintiff''s legal advisers?
11913See? 11913 So I understand,"said James;"but what will, and where is it?"
11913Surely, Mr. Attorney- General,said the Judge,"the one thing does not necessarily include the other?"
11913Then I suppose that we ca n''t go abroad?
11913Then you must be stupid,said Eustace,"Do n''t you see the joke?--''_mesne_ profits,''_ mean_ of them?"
11913Was the testator, so far as you could judge, at the time of the dictation and execution of the will, of sound mind, memory, and understanding?
11913Well, Augusta?
11913Well, Gussie, and how did you get on with the Printer- devil( this was her impolite name for the great Meeson);"will he give you any more money?"
11913Well, Meeson, what do you say to that?
11913Well, Meeson, what is it? 11913 Well, Miss Smithers, what is it?"
11913Well, Mr. Attorney,interposed the Judge,"and what if she was?"
11913Well, Short,said Eustace,"what do you say, shall we take it?"
11913Well, has Miss Smithers got the will? 11913 Well, what can I do for you?
11913Well,said Augusta at length,"it seems that''s the only thing to be done; but the question is, how to do it?
11913What are your terms?
11913What did you say, young man?
11913What do you mean by bringing me a thing like this?
11913What has the Governor been doing to you?
11913What is Kerguelen Island?
11913What is it, Eustace?
11913What is it?
11913What is that gentleman''s name?
11913What is that?
11913What shall I do with it,she asked;"tear it up?"
11913What was the name of the ship?
11913What you are going to do about the will?
11913What, do you mean to contradict me?
11913What?
11913Where are you to be found?
11913Where is it? 11913 Where to?"
11913Who did it? 11913 Who is it?"
11913Who is it?
11913Who on earth are they all?
11913Who?
11913Who?
11913Why did you not give me that message before?
11913Why, do you mean to quite cut out your nephew-- and the other legatees?
11913Why, what''s up?
11913Why? 11913 Why?
11913Why?
11913Why?
11913Will Mummy soon come in a boat to take Dick away?
11913Will you be seated, gentlemen?
11913Will you tell me what you wanted it so much for?
11913Will your Lordship take a note of your Lordship''s decision?
11913With costs, my Lord?
11913Wo n''t you come into the drawing room?
11913Wo n''t you have a cup of tea? 11913 Would it?
11913Yes, Mr. Meeson,she answered cheerfully,"what is it?"
11913Yes, Mr. Tombey,answered Augusta, quietly;"what is it?"
11913Your Lordship will, of course, take a place in the boats?
11913Your book, Miss Smithers?
11913_ What_?
11913A will is supposed to have been tattooed upon this lady''s skin; but is the skin the whole person?
11913And now, what is the point?"
11913And, what''s more, do you know what I''m going to do just, now?
11913Attorney?"
11913Bill?"
11913But perhaps, Miss, you will, at your convenience, favour me with a few particulars?"
11913But that will never happen in the world while human nature is human nature-- and when will it become anything else?
11913But, I say, what is to be done next?
11913By- the- way,"he added, waking up a little,"you remember what the old boy told you when he was dying?
11913Ca n''t you do anything for me?"
11913Ca n''t you"--addressing Eustace--"manage to get the money from someone?"
11913Can I suffer more pain anywhere, or be more hurt when I see you crying?
11913Can any place that I can go be worse than this place?
11913Can it be seriously argued that a document so executed does not fulfil the bare requirements of the law?
11913Confound that fellow, Short, why could n''t he come and dine?
11913Considering the relations which existed between this witness and the plaintiff, was the Court prepared to accept her evidence in this unreserved way?
11913Cut him off with a shilling?
11913Do n''t you hear him?
11913Do you think that you can take me?
11913Does not the intelligence remain, and the individuality?
11913Does that invalidate it?
11913For what could she have wanted the money, and why did she no longer want it?
11913Have you come to ask me to lunch?"
11913How can I get the money, now that that horrible man is gone?
11913How could she get the money to save her?
11913How did you come, then, to submit yourself to such a disagreeable operation?"
11913I do n''t know the name of his junior, but he looks as though he were going to eat one-- doesn''t he?
11913I have read it three times, what do you think of that for a busy woman?"
11913I suppose that other counsel besides myself will be ultimately retained?"
11913I wonder if there is any place where one could go to smoke a pipe, or rather a cigar-- I suppose those fellows would despise me if I smoked a pipe?
11913Is it Mummy and Daddie coming to fetch Dick?"
11913Is it New Zealand?
11913Is that all?"
11913Is the document on the back of Augusta Smithers a sufficient will to carry the property?
11913Is the evidence of Miss Smithers to be believed?
11913Is there anything to show that the testator was not, at the time of the execution of the will, of a sound and disposing mind?
11913Johnnie?"
11913Marry him?
11913Meeson?"
11913Meeson?"
11913Meeson?"
11913Meeson?"
11913Meeson?"
11913Miss Jemima-- Smithers, I mean; what on earth are you doing here?"
11913Now will you be so kind as to explain exactly why you said that, and why you meant it?"
11913Now, I ask you, what can you expect from a gentleman, however learned, who has practised for twenty years in the Divorce Court?
11913Now, Miss Smithers, what have you to say?
11913Now, do the tattoo marks on the back of this lady constitute such a document, and do they convey the true last will or wish of the testator?
11913Now, what do you say to the idea of something to eat?
11913Now, what does the law understand by the term''Will''?
11913Of course, Mr. Meeson will want to see this will, whatever it may be worth; and I should like to ask you, Bessie, how I am to show it to him?
11913Of what use was this last extremity of luxury to him?
11913Old?
11913Perhaps he''s sweet on her?
11913She wondered if he had ever called at the lodgings at Birmingham after she left?
11913Short?"
11913Short?"
11913Short?"
11913Supposing, for instance, your young lady is not allowed to give evidence?"
11913Surely he would take her in for a while, and put her in the way of earning a living where Meeson would not be to molest her?
11913Surely it understands some writing that expresses the wish or will of a person as to the disposition of his property after his decease?
11913Surely you can spare me a little bit-- just off the skirt, or somewhere, you know, Miss Smithers?
11913The Kangaroo is showing her heels, is n''t she, Miss Smithers?
11913The President: Have you any affidavit from anybody who saw Mr. Meeson in the water?
11913Then you were tattooed out of regard for the plaintiff, and not purely in the interests of justice?"
11913There are enough of us here to witness a will, and, if anything happens to you, it will override the other-- will it not?"
11913Well now, may I ask you: am I leaving this property, or are you?
11913What are the circumstances?
11913What business has its pallor to show itself against our ruddy cheeks?
11913What can literature be worth, if a man ca n''t make a fortune out of it?
11913What could it mean?
11913What danger could there be aboard of that grand ship, which sped across the waves with the lightness and confidence of the swallow?
11913What do a few marks matter if a great wrong is prevented thereby?
11913What do they do then?
11913What do you mean to do there-- try and run round our little agreement, eh?
11913What do you think of it, young man, eh?"
11913What do you want to do?"
11913What is her address?"
11913What is it to be, old gentleman?
11913What on, and what with?"
11913What was she to do?
11913What will that unfortunate James do against so many?"
11913What will?"
11913What would the young man be after next?
11913Where had they gone to?
11913Where is your wife?"
11913Where was Lady Holmhurst?
11913Where was there any linen to write on?
11913Who can say?
11913Whoever would have thought of such a thing except a woman?
11913Why not leave England altogether?
11913Why should he wait till to- morrow morning?
11913Why should she not go?
11913Why should you be so frightened about me?
11913Why should you not do the same in this case, in your own interest?
11913Why, she wondered, had he not come to see her again?
11913You remember I was in the office?"
11913Youth and strength are merry; but who can be merry with yon dead thing in the upper chamber?
11913and where were the boy and the nurse?
11913and, if so, is the unsupported story of that lady as to the execution of the document to be believed?
11913asked Augusta;"who?"
11913gasped Dick,"why do the gentleman shout so?"
11913gasped the astonished Doctor;"How am I to inspect the document?"
11913hang modesty-- haven''t you got some linen on, somewhere or other, that you could spare a bit of?
11913he moaned;"how can I sleep?
11913he said, with a hiccough:"is he?
11913he said,"what on earth are you doing here at this hour?--making up romances?"
11913how can I get it?"
11913how do you do?"
11913said Mr. Tombey, who was a wealthy New Zealand landowner;"and now, why do you suppose he did that?"
11913said the captain,"with a whaler?
11913she said in admiration;"why, whatever is that upon your shoulders?"
11913she said sharply, for she was busy with her scheme;"what is it?"
11913snarled his uncle;"you want to pipe down now, do you?
11913thought Augusta to herself,"how on earth do they all get a living?"
11913what''s the matter?"
11913why should I not have my own resident solicitor?
19901''What is to become of me?'' 19901 A_ long_ yachting trip?"
19901All right again?
19901And how long shall we stay?
19901And in what does your idea of discretion consist, pray?
19901And the one who was with him?
19901And then?
19901And yesterday----"What of yesterday?
19901Another visitor?
19901Are you going up the Nile then?
19901Are you in a hurry to be anywhere in particular during the next few weeks?
19901Besides, if it were, who has helped to spoil me? 19901 But surely you could detain the yacht and search?
19901But what of the fourth-- the brother?
19901Ca n''t he? 19901 Can I do anything for you?"
19901Can it be that she means to marry Roger Broom after all?
19901Can not you think?
19901Can she have said anything?
19901Could we not speak here, at a little distance from the others?
19901Could you make an excuse to go on board in the morning alone?
19901Dalahaide, where are you?
19901Did I really, do you think? 19901 Did Madeleine Dalahaide show you the woman''s picture?"
19901Did you-- is it possible that you ever knew my brother?
19901Do n''t I?
19901Does one ever hear exciting news in this place?
19901Even for a few weeks?
19901Has something in this window caught your fancy?
19901Have you ever heard of the Dalahaides?
19901Have you heard any exciting news lately?
19901Have you noticed that the Marchese has n''t asked us a single question about your château?
19901Have you remembered yet where you saw her before?
19901He attempted to escape----"What-- you kill them for that, if-- they are retaken?
19901He met Madeleine Dalahaide?
19901He was shot?
19901Home?
19901How can I be sure? 19901 How comes she to be English?
19901How could she?
19901How could they accuse him of that?
19901How do you mean to set about doing that?
19901How do you proceed to explain the identification and burial of Liane Devereux''s body if she is now alive in Cairo?
19901How do you suppose that it would be possible for us to come across him? 19901 How much does she know?"
19901How_ did_ you get him to, by the by? 19901 I suppose he would n''t be able to confront that wicked woman and accuse her to her face?"
19901I suppose you have all sorts and conditions of men here?
19901I thought you were so charmed with it? 19901 I?
19901Is it haunted?
19901Is it possible that you are speaking of the Marchese Loria?
19901Is it possible? 19901 Is it then so difficult to know,_ mon ami_?"
19901Is n''t that lovely?
19901Is not that a prison for the French_ forçats_?
19901Is the man handsome?
19901It is something about the château, no doubt-- some questions which perhaps you forgot to ask yesterday?
19901May I have a snapshot of the hospital, with all those chaps on the verandahs? 19901 May I speak with you alone, Miss Beverly?"
19901Miss Beverly saw that portrait?
19901No news of another visitor?
19901No? 19901 Not friends?
19901Not so big as the excursion boats that go, is she?
19901Now will you take pity upon me and turn round?
19901Now,thought Kate,"what has that book she''s hiding from me to do with the mystery that''s been going on for the past three days?"
19901Oh, you mean the cannon? 19901 One would think that this ought to be another cabin,"she remarked sweetly;"else what becomes of the symmetry?
19901Roger, are you all right, and Dalahaide, too?
19901Saved?
19901Shall we go back?
19901Shall we leave again to- night, with our poisoned food?
19901So we''re to have another passenger, are we?
19901So, I am to be the villain of the piece? 19901 Sure she does n''t suspect?"
19901Tell me, wo n''t you, what it was?
19901That''s the worst of planning surprises, is n''t it? 19901 The man eaten by the sharks?
19901The man whom Liane Devereux loved better than your brother?
19901The wound was not actually dangerous?
19901Then sha n''t we find you again when we have seen the château?
19901There was nobody--_nobody_ who had a right to think himself injured by your brother, even long before?
19901There wo n''t be much doubt in Johnny Crapaud''s mind now as to what part that tidy little craft''s cast to play in this show, eh? 19901 This is Samoa?"
19901Was it because of this young man''s guilt that the place was called the Valley of the Shadow?
19901Was it-- the man of whom he was jealous who was murdered?
19901We shall have nothing worse the matter with us than seasickness; and how_ are_ we to do our hair?
19901We will be in harbour so soon?
19901Well, mademoiselle, have we given you time to finish your interview, and has it been satisfactory?
19901Well, was I right or wrong about this woman?
19901Well, why not?
19901Well, would n''t it be worth while to spend them?
19901What about your château, then-- your château in the olive woods that you so adore?
19901What are you stopping for?
19901What are you talking about, dear child?
19901What can I do to show you how I-- how we worship you for all you have done, all you have been?
19901What did she reply to that?
19901What do you mean?
19901What do you remember; and why do you call this the Valley of the Shadow?
19901What has that to do with it?
19901What help can I give you?
19901What is impossible? 19901 What is it?"
19901What is the man''s name?
19901What is the matter with me?
19901What is the matter?
19901What prevents you from buying two or three? 19901 What will happen when she does come in?"
19901What''s that?
19901What, indeed? 19901 What, you here, Marchese?"
19901What-- he is_ dead_, then? 19901 When do you start?"
19901Where are the persons who gather the olives?
19901Where is he? 19901 Who is there?"
19901Who, then, goes with her?
19901Why do you say that?
19901Why do you speak of an enemy, and a plot against me?
19901Why especially with me?
19901Why not to- day? 19901 Why not?"
19901Why should he expect an invitation to go with us?
19901Why--_why_ should she interest herself in this cold- blooded murderer, whose best friends turned from him in horror at his crime? 19901 Why?"
19901Will you come with me when I buy the thing?
19901Wo n''t you tell me where they are going?
19901Would n''t you like to go back to your stateroom?
19901Yet you said that your brother had no enemy?
19901You are American, is it not? 19901 You are not to go?"
19901You are sure this will do it?
19901You do n''t know-- the story?
19901You do n''t mind leaving the dance a little while-- for me?
19901You knew him-- he was your friend-- yet you believed in his guilt?
19901You know him?
19901You love her so much?
19901You mean it, Roger?
19901You mean-- oh, Roger, do n''t you think we''ll succeed in what we''ve come for so far, so very far?
19901You rang, Lady Gardiner,said Dr. Grayle,"to ask for a telegraph form, just as you might in a civilized place, did n''t you?
19901You say that still, after the way she took your_ grand coup_? 19901 You will tell me nothing more?"
19901You''re sure?
19901You? 19901 _ Mon Dieu!_ How did you know that?"
19901_ What!_ One ca n''t telegraph from this loathsome place?
19901After all, what did they mean for her?
19901After all, what does it matter for me?
19901Altogether, she had not at all the air of a young woman yachting for pleasure, as of course she must be, since what other object could the trip have?
19901And the other man-- what of him?"
19901And wo n''t you help me persuade Miss Beverly that we''ve seen enough of this valley now?"
19901Any one ill on board?
19901Are n''t they like the fiery eyes of some fierce animal glaring watchfully down at us out of the dusk?"
19901Are you fitting out as pirates?"
19901As for the mother-- who knows?
19901At least, I suppose, there are no orders against returning to the hotel?"
19901But I suppose you would scarcely care to see that, mademoiselle?"
19901But afterward, when she learned how intimately I had been associated with the people at the château there, how could she blame me?
19901But how could I expect anything else when you have heard such a story?
19901But how did you get it?"
19901But if I give up the Marchese Loria for you?"
19901But if you, and you alone, can identify this man, how will your part in the business be kept dark?"
19901But it is a fact, then, that a convict has escaped from the Ile Nou, and you have got word that he is likely to turn up here on board a steam yacht?"
19901But what Frenchman could refuse any favour in his power to the all- conquering Virginia?
19901But what good would it do me?
19901But what proof had Max of his own intentions?
19901But what was to be done, if he were not to fling aside the cloak of his reputation as a friend of that unfortunate family?
19901But what would you do for a chaperon if I stopped behind?"
19901But-- suspicions of_ what_?
19901But--_was_ it possible?
19901By the way, Loria, do you know what became of the sister?"
19901Can you see him?"
19901Could it be possible that it was the one man of all others for whom her heart had cried out?
19901Could we not turn round, and get back to Sydney without starving?"
19901Did Sir Roger Broom mention me in connection with the story?"
19901Did he give her all the details of that loathsome story?"
19901Did it mean unexpected disaster?
19901Did_ he_ suggest that you should try to save my brother?"
19901Do tourists who go to Portland''come across''prisoners who have been convicted of murder-- whether innocent or not?
19901Do you remember?"
19901Had Lady Gardiner been imprudent and dropped the slightest hint of their new allegiance?
19901Had he heard, and come to her here, to save her from her enemies?
19901Had his soul, in some mysterious, supernatural way, heard her soul calling to him across the world?
19901Had it been a vision and no more, or was it real, and should she have to meet those accusing eyes again?
19901Had the_ Bella Cuba_ been struck?
19901Half maliciously she said to the shopkeeper:"I suppose this pretty thing has no such story as the other?"
19901Has the sister implored Miss Beverly to throw her money into this bottomless gulf?
19901Have you any young men of good family who, perhaps, committed their crimes for love?"
19901How can I tell what were the details of his scheme?
19901How could I reach your yacht?
19901How could any one believe it?"
19901How do you make sure they ca n''t escape, if they choose, out here where they do n''t seem to be guarded?"
19901How long ago did the fellow get away-- or rather, when may the yacht, the_ Bella Cuba_, be expected here, if at all?"
19901I could n''t take the old home from you-- don''t you understand?
19901I do n''t often forget you, do I?
19901I have money-- I do n''t say enough; who has enough?
19901I meant to go to Rumpelmayer''s presently, but suppose we go now and have tea together?"
19901I say, did those Johnnies''revolvers do any damage here?"
19901I suppose she_ did_ learn the story?"
19901I suppose, like other men, you have a price for what you say you can do?"
19901I wonder if she will do it?"
19901I wonder if there was ever anything between him and that tragic- looking girl up there?
19901If he were here, did any voice whisper to him of hope?
19901If it did, what would happen?
19901If this terrible creature withdrew into a brazen fortress of lies, who could tell how long a siege she might be able to withstand?
19901In heaven''s name, where''s the yacht?
19901In their cabins?
19901Is it a holiday for the operators?"
19901Is it anything I''ve done?"
19901Is it pure philanthropy?
19901Is n''t that where your friend Miss Dalahaide''s brother is imprisoned?"
19901Is she the girl they were talking about down below, or is she a companion?"
19901Is there any chance of our coming across the interesting murderer?"
19901Is this, then, the man we have come to find?"
19901It is leading you rather out of the way of the hotel, where we were all to meet for luncheon; but perhaps you have a curiosity to see it?
19901It seems like making it of so much importance and I''d hate being asked three times a day:''Well, when do you start on that yachting trip?''"
19901May n''t I be with you, dear, if you have really made up your mind?
19901My life, do I say?
19901No?
19901None since Alexandria?
19901Now we''re introduced, are n''t we?"
19901Now, Loria asked, was it possible that Miss Beverly''s cousin suspected anything?
19901Of course not; why should it?
19901Oh, do n''t look vexed-- your château, then?"
19901Perhaps you saw the daughter to- day?"
19901Possibly you will condescend to inform me what your purpose was?"
19901Probably, though, you''ll simply linger about in the Mediterranean; go to Naples, Greece, perhaps, and Egypt?"
19901Roger and you have been''talking things over?''
19901Shall you be cad enough to chuck him afterward?"
19901She must pay the price; and Maxime-- what of him?
19901Surely George is chaperon enough?"
19901The latter had only two guns, while the_ Bella Cuba_ had four, and, as he had said to Roger a few minutes( or was it years?)
19901This is a pleasure trip, is it not?
19901Virginia, do you know, I''ve been rather unhappy for several days?"
19901Was it really true that she had taken the violent and sudden fancy to her that she feigned to feel, or did that pretense cloak a hidden motive?
19901Was she sinking?
19901Were those horrible watch- dogs of the sea on the lookout now?
19901What can I say that you wo n''t misunderstand?
19901What can it be?
19901What can they want with cannon?"
19901What could be Virginia''s object in picking up this woman?
19901What could his presence here signify?
19901What did it matter?
19901What do you mean?"
19901What do you want to know?"
19901What does that prove?
19901What else, indeed, could it be?
19901What harm could come?
19901What has he done-- this unfortunate one-- that he must suffer death?"
19901What have I done to change Miss Beverly so completely?"
19901What have I left to dread?
19901What have you to tell me-- that we have met before, somewhere?"
19901What if I should be an instrument sent you to be used for that purpose?"
19901What if one or both of them had already met the terrible fate which he had pictured for himself?
19901What if the crankshaft could be repaired sooner than they supposed?
19901What made you think that?"
19901What motive could she possibly have for blocking our game?"
19901What next?"
19901What ports had been visited?
19901What was it to him-- Loria-- since she could accomplish nothing there?
19901What was that the Commandant had said in the afternoon?
19901What will Roger say when he hears that Kate Gardiner is bent on going?
19901What would they find that he had become, if those precious documents which Roger had obtained proved as potent as they hoped?
19901What-- a criminal, with that face?
19901What?
19901When is this going to end?
19901Where had the passengers been taken on?
19901Where, then, were the remaining members of the party?
19901Who knows what_ coup_ he may be planning?"
19901Who was this Marchese?
19901Who will come with me?"
19901Who would buy it?"
19901Why could the cabin not be used, and why had Virginia suddenly grown cross at the bare suggestion that it should be?
19901Why do I go this morning to the Château de la Roche?
19901Why do you hate this valley?
19901Why has coming into it tied your tongue, and made you look as if you had seen a ghost?"
19901Why should she suddenly make up her mind to marry him?
19901Why, were there no relatives-- no one to help?"
19901Will they send me to the guillotine for this?''
19901Will you aid me to play the part on these lines?"
19901Will you go to- morrow to the agent whose address I have and make inquiries?"
19901Would it be indiscreet to ask, dear child, if there has been any hitch about the purchase of your new toy?
19901Would it have been warmer than this?
19901Would it mean failure if the Countess de Mattos obstinately refused to tell the truth?
19901Would the locked door be opened?
19901Yet what if Virginia should have formed the extraordinary resolve of going to Noumea?
19901You believe me?"
19901You believe that?"
19901You can be sure now I''m American, ca n''t you?
19901You mean to go with them?"
19901You remember the crime committed by this fellow-- for of course you know that, before he was Convict 1280, he was Maxime Dalahaide?"
19901You remember there was a dance?
19901You think so?"
19901You were acquainted with him, I suppose?"
19901You were praying to God to help him, were n''t you?
19901You''ll forgive me for overhearing, wo n''t you, girlie?
19901_ Was_ this an excuse to get rid of her, and if so, why?
19901exclaimed Kate gratefully; while within she was saying,"Oh, so this is the game, is it?
19901what_ has_ become of the others?"
19901why?
17959''The man with the limp,''he said, and slowly rose to his feet--"what do you know of the man with the limp?"
17959A sort of tapping?
17959Afraid?
17959Am I alive?
17959And that was?
17959And what aroused your suspicions?
17959And who paid you?
17959And who was the patient?
17959Are n''t you going to open it?
17959Are you satisfied,she said, speaking unemotionally,"or,"holding up her wrists,"would you like to handcuff me?"
17959Besides, sir,he said,"you say he came to deposit valuables of some kind here?"
17959But surely,I interrupted, in surprise,"Sir Baldwin did not take his instruments?"
17959But the attack on Dr. Hamilton''s man?
17959But the term has some other significance, sir?
17959But where were you going?
17959But will they ever find us?
17959But, Smith, why did you direct me to- night to repeat the words,''Sâkya Mûni''?
17959But, if what you suspect, Smith, be only partly true, with what object was I seized and carried to that singular interview? 17959 But,"reiterated the other, his voice rising higher and higher,"what does it mean, my dear sir?
17959By the way, Inspector,added Smith, a sudden gleam of inspiration entering his keen eyes--"did I not see that the s.s._Andaman_ arrived recently?"
17959By the way,I said,"have you Oriental guests with you, at the moment?"
17959Can you do it?
17959Can you see any one?
17959Do you know so little of the resources of Dr. Fu- Manchu that you would throw yourself blindly into that den? 17959 Do you think--""What do you propose to do?"
17959Do you understand, Petrie?
17959Do you understand, Petrie?
17959Do you understand?
17959Doctor Petrie?
17959Dr. Petrie,Frazer said, still in the same hoarse and unnatural voice,"what else can we do?
17959Eh, sniping?
17959Eh?
17959Eh?
17959Flowers, sir? 17959 For God''s sake what has happened, Petrie?"
17959For God''s sake what is going on, Smith? 17959 For God''s sake, what does it man?"
17959For Heaven''s sake what was that, sir?
17959For what reason?--and why have you so suddenly changed your mind?
17959Half- past four A.M."What did you do?
17959Has Fu- Manchu never attempted outrage, murder, in the heart of London before?
17959Has the real head of affairs arrived, then?
17959Have any flowers been brought into the room today, Beeton?
17959Have you a button- hook, Petrie,he asked,"or anything of that nature?"
17959Have you a knife with a corkscrew in it?
17959Have you smelled the petals?
17959He was amongst the piles upholding the old wharf at the back of the Joy- Shop?
17959How did he get in? 17959 How did_ you_ come to be trapped?"
17959How in Heaven''s name did he get in?
17959How should you act in the circumstances, Petrie?
17959How will this do?
17959Hurt much?
17959I only returned in time to see our Fenimore Cooper friend retreating through the window,he replied;"but no doubt you had a good look at him?"
17959Inspector Weymouth?
17959Is he mad?
17959Is this what mystifies you?
17959Might I invite you to accompany me into the bedroom yonder for a moment?
17959Not a certain Oriental lady?
17959Now, madame,said Nayland Smith,"will you be good enough to raise your veil?"
17959Opium?
17959Possibly monsieur has seen one of the_ ayahs?_ There are several Anglo- Indian families resident in the New Louvre at present.
17959Probably the breaking of a bloom..."Ejects some of this acrid oil through the thorn? 17959 See anything?"
17959Shall we lay him on the bed?
17959Shall you open it now?
17959Sir Lionel?
17959Smith,I interrupted bitterly,"what chance have we?
17959Smith,I said,"how long have you been standing there?"
17959Surely you understand?
17959Tell me-- what hurt you?
17959The Flower of Silence?
17959The Oriental Navigation Company''s boat?
17959The exact address?
17959Then what part do_ I_ play?
17959Then why do you stay?
17959Three Colt Street?
17959To the Chinese Legation?
17959Was this the object of our visit here?
17959Well,I said, standing amid the litter cast out from the trunk, and watching him eagerly,"what''s afoot?"
17959Well,I said,"what has Zagazig to do with Fu- Manchu, or to do with us?"
17959Well?
17959Well?
17959Well?
17959Were you surprised?
17959Were you the first to learn of his death?
17959What can we kill it with?
17959What d''you mean? 17959 What do you know of this Ismail?"
17959What do you make of it?
17959What do you mean, Smith?
17959What do you mean?
17959What do you mean?
17959What do you think, Lewison?
17959What does it all mean?--what have you learnt?
17959What does it mean? 17959 What does it mean?"
17959What is a mere lock where Fu- Manchu is concerned?
17959What is it, Kennedy? 17959 What is it?"
17959What is it?
17959What is she like?
17959What is the Si- Fan?
17959What is the matter?
17959What is the meaning of Si- Fan?
17959What is the nature of this clue?
17959What is the place for which we are bound, Smith?
17959What is this Joy- Shop?
17959What part of the wall?
17959What time was it?
17959What time was that?'' 17959 What time?"
17959What you and your strong friend drinking?
17959What? 17959 What?"
17959Where am I going?
17959Where are we?
17959Where are you going?
17959Where do you live, then?
17959Where is this place situated, exactly? 17959 Where the devil do they go?"
17959Who are you, and what''s your trouble?
17959Who are you?
17959Who are you?
17959Who brought up the meals, then?
17959Who is this Ismail?
17959Who or what is this Si- Fan at whose existence you hint?
17959Who''s there?
17959Who''s there?
17959Who''s there?
17959Why do you dread this man, Ki- Ming, so much?
17959Why,demanded Nayland Smith,"have I never been told of the existence of this place?"
17959Why? 17959 Why?"
17959Will they reach us in time?
17959Will you oblige me by telephoning for Inspector Weymouth? 17959 Yes?"
17959You also, Weymouth?
17959You are certain of that?
17959You are interested in this, then?
17959You blinger fliend, Charlie?
17959You did not break that stalk?
17959You did not say he was dead?
17959You do something for me-- eh?
17959You have met him, then?
17959You jealous, eh, Charlie?
17959You know into whose room it opens?
17959You know the street along which, ordinarily, one would approach the wharf?
17959You mean...?
17959You realized at once that Samarkan was dead?
17959You recall his brother, Petrie?
17959You remember where the dead Burman was found?
17959You see the mark, Petrie?
17959You see, old man?
17959You see?
17959You think the hashish den is in some adjoining building?
17959You were in charge of the prisoner Samarkan?
17959Your reference to a''rendezvous''was presumably addressed to a hypothetical spy? 17959 _ Was_ she safe in Egypt?"
17959''Do you hear him dragging himself along?''
17959...""_ Who_ can not speak?"
17959A stone, was it?"
17959A strange cracked voice( which, nevertheless, I recognized for Smith''s) cried,"Hullo, Martin!--cough no better?"
17959Above all, what could their presence there at that time portend?
17959An_ ayah?_ It was just possible, of course.
17959And can this be my fee?
17959As the door closed--"Unless what, Smith?"
17959At times I have been tempted to believe that the fate which frequently befalls the specialist had befallen me?
17959But I thought the Fu- Manchu case was off the books long ago?
17959But do you recall the_ report?_""The report?
17959But do you recall the_ report?_""The report?
17959But what does it all mean?
17959But"--I found myself confronted by a new problem--"what caused his death?"
17959But, Smith--_who_ is that woman?"
17959By what right did I presume to force my way into other people''s apartments?
17959CHAPTER V JOHN KI''S"What is the meaning of Si- Fan?"
17959CHAPTER XI IN THE FOG"But, Smith,"I began, as my friend hurried me along the corridor,"you are not going to leave the box unguarded?"
17959CHAPTER XIV THE GOLDEN POMEGRANATES"What was it that he cried out?"
17959CHAPTER XVI I TRACK ZARMI"What does it mean?"
17959Could it be that the Café de l''Egypte was the place of her captivity?
17959Did you observe, Petrie, if her eyes were_ oblique_ at all?"
17959Do n''t you understand?
17959Fu- Manchu is dead, so what have we to fear?"
17959Have you any suggestion to offer respecting it?"
17959Having got his pipe going well--"What do you know of animal magnetism?"
17959How did he die?
17959How did he die?
17959How do we proceed?"
17959How had they been introduced, and by whom?
17959How much were you paid for the job?"
17959How should I act?
17959How was the Flower of Silence introduced into his closely guarded room?"
17959I began,"for Heaven''s sake what are you about?"
17959I cried,"what is it?
17959I cried,"what is the Si- Fan?"
17959I cried--"What''s the matter with him?"
17959I demanded excitedly--"aren''t you going to open it?"
17959I do n''t know what it can have been----""Where did this attack take place?"
17959I muttered, moistening my parched lips with my tongue--"Sir Baldwin!--how----""It is Dr. Petrie, is it not?"
17959I said,"of Half- Moon Street?
17959I turned to him, momentarily at a loss for words; then--"Was this the object of our journey?"
17959I understand, sir, that you believe him to have been a high official of this dangerous society?
17959I uttered a short cry, of which I was instantly ashamed, for Nayland Smith''s voice came:--"I startled you, eh, Petrie?"
17959I was past greater amazement; but--"This lady can be no longer young, then?"
17959I whispered huskily--"God forgive me, what have I done?
17959I whispered--"what was it?
17959In the first place, Sir Gregory Hale is here----""Here?"
17959In the past, Sir Lionel Barton had had spies in his household; what if the dark- faced Greek, Homopoulo, were another of these?
17959Is there any one of my readers in doubt respecting my reception of this proposal?
17959It was a curious case, was n''t it, Lewison?"
17959My friend having ordered cocktails--"And now perhaps you will explain to me the reason for your mysterious behavior?"
17959Nayland Smith''s eyes were on fire now; he literally quivered with excitement, when--"_ Ssh!_ what''s that?"
17959Now-- what is the next move?"
17959One thing in particular was puzzling me extremely: if Smith doubted the good faith of the sender of the message, why had he acted upon it?
17959Petrie!--my dear sir, in mercy tell me-- what does this mean?
17959Petrie?"
17959Practically the uncanny thing stings when it is hurt?
17959Pulling from his overcoat pocket a copy of a daily paper--"Have you seen this, Weymouth?"
17959Shall we then determine your immediate future upon the turn of a card, as the gamester within me, within every one of my race, suggests?
17959Shall you open the brass chest?"
17959Smith?"
17959Smith?"
17959Surely I could not have imagined it?
17959Then, to Logan:"Anything else?"
17959Then--"Do you hear anything, Petrie?"
17959Then--"_ Ssh!_what''s that?"
17959There lies the first Zagazig message; here is the second; and you know the context of the note pinned upon the door?
17959This one a strong feller?"
17959To what strange adventure were we committed?
17959To whom were you to deliver the box?
17959What can we do?
17959What danger, other than that which has threatened us for over two years, threatens us to- night?"
17959What did he come for?--and what has happened to him?"
17959What did it all mean?
17959What did it contain?
17959What did it mean?
17959What did the brass coffer contain which Sir Gregory had guarded night and day?
17959What did the darkness mask?
17959What has befallen her?
17959What have I done?"
17959What have you done with him?
17959What roof in broad England sheltered Kâramaneh, the companion of my dreams, the desire of every waking hour?
17959What was coming?
17959What was it?"
17959What was the Si- Fan?
17959What was the meaning of the sound which had disturbed me?
17959What was the meaning of the whole solemn farce?"
17959What you doing here?"
17959What''s afoot, then?"
17959What?
17959Where did the dreadful Chinaman hide, with his murderers, his poisons, and his nameless death agents?
17959Where had I met with it before?
17959Where had I previously encountered the glance of those splendid, savage eyes?
17959Where have you been?--what has happened?"
17959Where is he?"
17959Where, and when, had I met their glance before?
17959Who could this late caller be, this midnight visitor who rapped, ghostly, in preference to ringing the bell?
17959Who had killed him?
17959Who was the"man with the limp"?
17959Why do you ask?"
17959Why is he so confident?
17959Why the long harangue and the pose of friendship?
17959Why was I silent?--why did I not warn Smith of the presence of one of Dr. Fu- Manchu''s servants?
17959Why, therefore, does he risk his neck in London?"
17959Yet-- what else can we_ do?_""There are several alternatives, but I prefer to follow the advice of Ki- Ming."
17959You experience this?
17959You had met Samarkan before?"
17959You remember Summers, the Suez Canal pilot whom you met at Ismailia two years ago?
17959You understand?"
17959You will not have forgotten the wild- cat Eurasian Zarmi?"
17959_ What_ threatens us to- night?"
17959_ You_ were present?"
17959can it be Hale?"
17959can we make no move to round up the devils who defy us, here in the very heart of civilized England?
17959cried Smith, who was leading--"what now?"
17959cried Smith--"where does the passage lead to beyond that doorway?
17959do n''t you understand?"
17959he cried,"where are you?
17959he demanded;"and what business have you with the Si- Fan?"
17959he said slowly, and I knew that I had betrayed my secret,"Petrie-- where did you learn all this?"
17959he said,"am I mad-- or did I_ really_ perform that operation?
17959made no report?"
17959she asked in a low voice,"and what are you talking about?"
17959snapped Smith,"on the wharf?"
17959snapped Smith;"but you are sure the cab is from the Yard?
17959the chapel?"
17959what chance have we?
17959what do you mean?
17959what does it mean?"
17959what has happened?"
17959what is it?"
17959when and where?"
13880A boat?
13880Alaska? 13880 Alaska?"
13880And yet,thought Johnny,"what could they want from me?
13880Are there others?
13880Are we all mad?
13880Arrested?
13880But it''s tough, now ai n''t it?
13880But the girl, Cio- Cio- San?
13880But this Russia, the Kamchatkan Peninsula?
13880But,said Johnny slowly,"what''s the big idea?
13880Cumshaw?
13880Cumshaw?
13880D''you shoot?
13880Dead?
13880Dead?
13880Did dey fleece y''?
13880Did n''t you never view that map of his before?
13880Did you say they were carrying a woman?
13880Did you think that?
13880Do n''t you see even now?
13880Do n''t you see that now is the time to strike? 13880 Do n''t you see?
13880Do what?
13880Do?
13880East Cape? 13880 Enemy?
13880Get you?
13880Get you?
13880Going north to trade, I s''pose?
13880Got a gun?
13880He has told you?
13880How are you all anyway?
13880How long has the world known of this wealth?
13880How-- how''d you know how to drive?
13880How?
13880If he does not call, what shall I do?
13880If this ai n''t the same two guys we''ve been looking for? 13880 Is dey?
13880Is it as bad as that?
13880Is that all?
13880Jap girl go?
13880Johnny,Mazie whispered,"you did n''t desert, did you?"
13880Know anything about travel in such a country?
13880Look here,said Johnny savagely,"that man has tried to kill me or have me killed, three times, is it not so?"
13880No, honest I did n''t, but what-- what did you do?
13880North?
13880North?
13880Not on me pals? 13880 Not work?"
13880Now what did you do that for?
13880Now wot''s de chanst of dem makin''a clean git away?
13880Oh, will you?
13880Pack?
13880Puck- mum- ie?
13880Quartz too?
13880S''pose it''s a long way back to God''s country this way?
13880S''pose it''s mighty dangerous tradin''on this side?
13880Say, Jerry,said Johnny suddenly,"do you want to earn some honest money?"
13880See here,he said sharply,"this man, no die, See?
13880See that cliff?
13880See that old man there?
13880See?
13880That one do?
13880The Russian?
13880The Russian?
13880Then this Peninsula is as rich as Alaska?
13880Then you have n''t heard? 13880 To whom?"
13880Treason? 13880 Treason?"
13880W''at man?
13880Well? 13880 What are they like?

13880Where you go?
13880Where''s the machinery?

13880Who is he?
13880Who wuz dey?
13880Who''s that?
13880Whom does it belong to now? 13880 Why?"
13880Why?
13880Why?
13880Why?
13880Wo Cheng,he said slowly,"go north, Jap woman?
13880Wonder what he intends to do about his diamonds? 13880 Wonder what they think they can do?"
13880Would you take him if you saw him?
13880Would, huh?
13880You come buy?
13880You fellows shoot?

13880You were looking for Johnny Thompson?
13880You will not write? 13880 You-- you here?"
13880You-- you-- know him?
13880Your friend?
13880( Now?)
13880*****"American, ai n''t y''?"
13880A prowling tiger had wandered over the desert, an Arab had proved treacherous-- who knows what?
13880After all, what was the use of living if one was to live on and on and on and never have any adventures worth the telling?
13880All time live, see?
13880Am I right?"
13880An old grievance stirred him: Why were not he and his strange companions on their way?
13880And all of them rich as the one we were in yesterday?"
13880And did they not belong to someone else?
13880And the Russian, why was he traveling so far north?
13880And the diamonds; what of them?
13880And this Russian, what claim did he have on him that he should save his life?
13880And was he, Johnny, a pawn to be sacrificed at the proper moment?
13880And what will the result be?
13880And why?
13880And yet, if he was a Jap, how did it come about that he spoke the Eskimo language so well?
13880And you?"
13880And, again, if he were that type of plotter, would not the Jap girl know of it, and desire him killed?
13880Are you not killed?
13880As Johnny settled back to watch, his brain was puzzled by one question; what was it that the Jap girl sought?
13880Behring Strait?"
13880Bound and gagged as she was, would she be thrown into the river to drown?
13880But after all, what could they want of her, a poor Japanese girl, almost without funds?
13880But here were all the mysteries carrying him right to his own city and promising to end-- in what?
13880But then, the diamonds?
13880But what type of criminal were they?
13880But what was this the Jap girl was doing?
13880But what was this?
13880But why?
13880But, if he had moved on, where did he go?
13880CHAPTER V"FRIEND?
13880CHAPTER VII SAVED FROM THE MOB"What do you know about that gold mine?"
13880CONTENTS I THE DEN OF DISGUISES II THE MYSTERIOUS RUSSIAN III TREACHERY OUT OF THE NIGHT IV A NARROW ESCAPE V"FRIEND?
13880Can you tell me that?"
13880Could it be that her father had converted his wealth into diamonds and then had been robbed by the Radical revolutionist?
13880Could it be that in Russia, that hotbed of radicalism, Johnny had had his head turned and was at that moment a member of this band?
13880Could it be the Russian?
13880Could it be?
13880Could she make it?
13880Did he see a boot disappear around the point of the cliff above the igloo?
13880Did n''t you read about it?
13880Did you find it last night in the submarine?"
13880Do n''t you see?
13880Do you understand?
13880ENEMY?"
13880ENEMY?"
13880Eh?"
13880Eskimo?
13880Even if he makes it, where''ll he be?
13880First, we will kill your young friend, Johnny Thompson; then what good will your refusal have done?
13880Friend or foe?
13880Get me?"
13880Go north, north, cold, savvy?"
13880Go north, that Russian?
13880Got a match?"
13880Had Hanada recognized him?
13880Had Wo Cheng been actuated by hate, or by greed?
13880Had he caught the dark blue of a shadow on yonder wall?
13880Had he heard the faint pat- pat of footsteps?
13880Had he mistaken the igloo?
13880Had it been with the hope of securing wealth from their simple luggage, or had they been bribed to do it?
13880Had one of his deer already broken his tether?
13880Had she better call to the driver and demand to be allowed to alight?
13880Had the Russian purposely misled him?
13880Hanada shot him a swift glance, as if to say:"How much do you know about this matter anyway?"
13880Hanada?"
13880He had been prevented from doing so by Iyok- ok. Why?
13880He is n''t arrested?
13880He is n''t here?"
13880Her friendship for Iyok- ok, her eagerness to protect the Russian-- what was to be made of all this?
13880Her only question was, could there be a way of escape?
13880Here was food, but how was it to be prepared?
13880His companions carried with them a great air of mystery; why should he not share this a little with them?
13880How could he help this girl, and save himself from harm?
13880How could he interpret this?
13880How could she ask him to abandon them for her sake?
13880How had this brace of knives got so widely separated?
13880How had this one found its way to the heart of a Chukche tribe?
13880Hungry you?"
13880I wonder why?
13880If a friend, why did she not join him; and, if an enemy, why not have him killed?
13880If she was searching for the diamonds, could it be that they rightfully belonged to her or to her family, and had they been taken by the Russian?
13880If so, why did she not seek him out?
13880If that were so, then what was his game?
13880If the first supposition was correct, ought Johnny not to go to her and tell her that he had the diamonds?
13880In the meantime, if you need more money to pay this Jerry-- Jerry, what was it you called him?"
13880Is it not so?
13880Johnny Thompson alive, here in Chicago, arrested for conspiracy?
13880Johnny shot back:"No enjoying a ripe old age in this commune business?"
13880Kill?"
13880Not on regular crooks?"
13880Or had the girl merely learned that the Russian had the jewels and had she followed him all this way with the purpose of robbing him?
13880Or was he in search of wealth hidden away in this frozen land?
13880Perhaps he did have some other important engagement; then why could he not tell Johnny of it?
13880Radicals?
13880Remember right from the center of the river?
13880Say, Jerry, are there some tough characters hanging around the river these days that ai n''t regular crooks?"
13880See?
13880See?"
13880Shall I?"
13880She was fed for the moment and apparently safe enough, but where was she and whither was she being carried by this drifting ice floe?
13880Shoot?
13880Should she go?
13880Should she go?
13880So that was the game?
13880Stab?"
13880Suddenly the Jap exclaimed in surprise:"Did you see that?
13880The boy had looked him squarely in the eye as much as to say,"Who could doubt that?"
13880Then one of them spoke:"Is he mad?"
13880There came, not the expected tattoo of police billies on the door, but a shrill whisper through the key- hole:"Johnny,"the voice said,"are you there?
13880There was little wonder at this, for did he not carry on his person forty thousand dollars''worth of rare gems?
13880There was n''t a boat nor a barge nor even a plank on the river when the searchlight flashed from the gray prowler; was there, Mike?"
13880These natives?
13880Wanchee clothes, fur, fur, plenty warm, you savvy?
13880Wanta see it?"
13880Was Hanada sneaking back this way?
13880Was he a member of the Japanese secret service detailed to follow the Russian, or was he traveling of his own accord?
13880Was he her friend or her foe?
13880Was he one of those who took this motto:"Anything''s all right that you can get away with?"
13880Was he planning to lead Cio- Cio- San into a trap?
13880Was he really in this village at this time?
13880Was he related to the girl in some way?
13880Was he watched?
13880Was he, too, planning to cross the Strait to America?
13880Was it his patriotic duty to stick?
13880Was n''t that gr- ran- nd?''"
13880Was that enough?
13880Was the entire population of the city about to move to the polar regions?
13880Was the sadness caused by the fact that she believed him dead?
13880Was there a different note, a howl that was not of the wind?
13880Was this a trap?
13880Was this murder?
13880Was this newcomer Russian, Japanese, Chinaman or American?
13880Were the three of them, after all, leagued together in deeds of darkness?
13880What are we sticking here for?"
13880What could a fellow make of all this?
13880What could cause the man to abandon them?
13880What could he do anyway?
13880What could it mean?
13880What could that crack cracking of hoofs mean?
13880What did he have against them that he should interrupt them in the chase?
13880What did he, Johnny, know about the whole business anyway?
13880What did it mean?
13880What did she know, or seek to know, about this man whose trail had joined theirs at an angle?
13880What did the poor old cuss do?"
13880What did they want to hang him for?
13880What did they want?
13880What does it matter what means we take, so long as the point has been won?"
13880What if he should turn out to be a Jap playing the part of an Eskimo?
13880What if this man was but the forerunner of the whole Chukche tribe?
13880What is that?"
13880What kind of a fight is this, anyway?"
13880What place was this she was being taken into?
13880What possible interests could he have here?
13880What secret was she hiding from him?
13880What shall I make of that?"
13880What shall I say?
13880What was he to do with all that wealth?
13880What was his game anyway?
13880What we here for, anyway?"
13880What would they do to her?
13880What you say?"
13880When do we eat?"
13880Where should she go?
13880Where''s Cio- Cio- San?"
13880Who can tell?
13880Who could be so rash as to carry thousands of dollars''worth of jewels on such a trip?
13880Who could he be?
13880Who could tell?
13880Who had written this note?
13880Who knows anything about this wonderful peninsula?
13880Who knows what gold is deposited in the beds and banks of that mighty stream?
13880Who was this Jap girl anyway, and why had she followed this Russian so far?
13880Who was this stranger who traveled so far?
13880Who was this stranger?
13880Who were these men?
13880Who were these men?
13880Who will find it?
13880Why all this constant enshrouding of affairs in mystery?
13880Why had the Chukches attempted to murder the Japanese girl and himself?
13880Why had the Russian gone away without further attempt to recover the treasure now in Johnny''s possession?
13880Why had they kidnapped her?
13880Why should n''t I kill him?"
13880Why was every man''s hand lifted against the sharp- chinned Russian?
13880Why?
13880Why?
13880Why?"
13880Why?"
13880Wot''s de lay?"
13880Would Hanada attempt the Strait at this time?
13880Would a man coming on such a journey bring such treasure with him?
13880Would any sum be enough?
13880Would he be followed?
13880Would n''t it be great to put his feet under his old job and say,"Well, Boss, what''s the dope to- day?"
13880Would n''t it, though?
13880Would she still travel with them?
13880You will not?
13880You''d think a lot of''em''ud try goin''north to Alaska, would n''t you?
13880You, me, savvy?"
13880You?"
13880exclaimed Johnny, in a tone more severe than he had ever used with his companion,"why in thunder ca n''t we get out of this hole?
13880he cautioned again in a whisper,"my wanchee you keep mouth shut; you savvy?"
13880they say all,"the boy went on,"how you want-- a die?
11127A broken knife?
11127Alone?
11127And can you trace her?
11127And in cutting it, you cut your wrist, did you?
11127And the knife?
11127And why would she do that?
11127And yet you destroyed it?
11127And you have been searching for this woman for two months?
11127And you have n''t seen him since?
11127And you succeeded?
11127And-- and if she did not, if he-- do you think she is in the house-- or-- or-- the cellar?
11127Are you sure the clock was here yesterday?
11127At what time did you retire that night?
11127At what time?
11127Before this presumed crime?
11127But is n''t it true that this is a very common sort of knife? 11127 But the slippers?
11127But what about the prying she- devil that runs the house?
11127But-- the towel?
11127Can you find out where Miss Brice has gone?
11127Can you identify it?
11127Can you see a bit of company to- night?
11127Could the dog have reached it there?
11127Did Miss Brice ever mention the nature of the threats he made against her?
11127Did he come in quietly, like a man trying to avoid attention?
11127Did he offer any statement as to where his wife was?
11127Did she give any reason for her husband''s attitude to her?
11127Did she know who the other woman was?
11127Did she say that he had attacked her?
11127Did she say that these attacks came when he had been drinking?
11127Did you ever know of Jennie Brice having a scar on her breast?
11127Did you hail him?
11127Did you kiss her good- by?
11127Did you know of any scar on your sister''s body?
11127Did you observe any stains on the rope?
11127Did you put him there?
11127Did you see any preparation for a journey?
11127Did you see him tie up the boat?
11127Did you suggest the onyx clock?
11127Do n''t you think, had it been he, he would have spoken when he saw you?
11127Do you keep a boat around during flood times?
11127Do you know a pharmacist named Alexander-- Jonathan Alexander?
11127Do you know what I think?
11127Do you know what I was doing when you came in? 11127 Does Mr. Ladley live here?"
11127Does the remaining hand look like the hand of Jennie Brice?
11127For how long?
11127For murder?
11127For what purpose?
11127From whom did you get the medicine?
11127Good God, woman, do you only use your eyes to cry with? 11127 Have you examined the body washed ashore at Sewickley?"
11127Have you seen Mr. Howell since your arrest?
11127Have you seen her lately?
11127Have you seen photographs of the scar on the body found at Sewickley? 11127 Have you seen the body found at Sewickley?"
11127He was to throw the knife into the water?
11127Her fur coat is n''t in the closet, is it?
11127Here?
11127Hitting the trail again?
11127Horner? 11127 How did you cut it?"
11127How do you know? 11127 How is my-- how is Miss Harvey?"
11127How long did you sleep?
11127How old was the girl?
11127How was she dressed when you saw her last?
11127How was she dressed?
11127I am helping the affair along and-- what if it turns out badly?
11127I suppose you are still making the best coffee and doughnuts in the city of Allegheny? 11127 I suppose, then, there is no use asking if I may have my old room?
11127I wonder-- do you remember about the village idiot and the horse? 11127 I wondered if you have heard anything?"
11127I? 11127 I?"
11127If that is true, Mrs. Pitman,she said,"who was the veiled woman he met that Monday morning at daylight, and took across the bridge to Pittsburgh?
11127If you knew this, why did you not come forward sooner?
11127In active practise?
11127In what part of the house?
11127Is her going away anything to make such a fuss about? 11127 Is it not possible that Mr. Ladley, unable to untie the boat, borrowed your knife to cut the boat''s painter?"
11127Is it not true, Mrs. Pitman,he said,"that many articles, particularly shoes and slippers, are found floating around during a flood?"
11127Is it the body of Jennie Brice?
11127Is she the only other woman on the street who keeps boarders?
11127Is that all she said?
11127Is that what he promised the girl?
11127Is there any sign on the door saying that boarders are charged extra for seven feet of filthy river in the bedrooms?
11127Is this number forty- two?
11127Is-- is he here yet?
11127It sounded-- it was not by any chance_ you_?
11127It was a personal letter?
11127It was there when they moved up- stairs to the room?
11127It''s his fountain pen; when the ink does n''t run, he shakes it, and--"Where''s the clock?
11127It''s nice weather-- for fishes, ai n''t it?
11127Just what do you mean?
11127Know this man Ladley?
11127Ladley went out Sunday afternoon about three, did n''t he-- and got back at five?
11127Look anything like this?
11127Look here,said the voice angrily,"ca n''t you give me any satisfaction?
11127Mr. Bellows is dead?
11127Mr. Howell,Mr. Llewellyn asked,"you know the prisoner?"
11127Mr. Ladley, you have said that your wife was ill the night of March fourth?
11127Mrs. Pitman,he said,"did you ever hear the story of the horse that wandered out of a village and could not be found?"
11127Mrs. Pitman,she said suddenly,"_ who was_ this Jennie Brice?"
11127My mother?
11127Never heard her speak of a town named Horner, did you?
11127Not even the onyx clock?
11127Not-- about me?
11127Now then,she said without any preliminary,"where is Jennie Brice?"
11127Now,said Mr. Graves, when I had shut the door,"where''s the dog''s- meat man?"
11127Pillow- slip?
11127Shall I bring her some tea?
11127She did n''t buy it?
11127She did n''t say she was coming back to rehearse for next week''s piece?
11127She had been married before?
11127She is beautiful, is n''t she?
11127She is n''t playing this week, is she?
11127So Isaac knew your mother? 11127 Soda?
11127Sure? 11127 That early Monday morning was cold, was it not?"
11127That was on Sunday? 11127 The clock?"
11127The letter was signed''Jennie Brice''?
11127The towel?
11127Then how do you account for Mrs. Pitman''s broken knife, with the blade in your room?
11127Then if he strangled her, where did the blood come from?
11127Then the thing Mrs. Ladley said she would not do was probably to wind the clock?
11127Then this knife is yours?
11127Then why does n''t he try to get away?
11127Then you believe,the district attorney said at the end,--"you believe, Mr. Howell, that Jennie Brice is living?"
11127Then you''ll like your soda from the ice- box?
11127Then, early that Monday morning, you smuggled Jennie Brice out of the city?
11127This is the place, is n''t it?
11127This will free Mr. Ladley, I suppose?
11127Was his wife the actress, Jennie Brice?
11127Was it out of fashion?
11127Was she young?
11127Was she-- was she beautiful?
11127Was the boat secured?
11127Was the door of this room locked?
11127Was there an onyx clock in the second- story room when you moved into it?
11127Was there anything unusual about that?
11127Well, Mrs. Pitman,he said, smiling,"what did you find in the cellar when the water went down?"
11127Well, Mrs. Pitman,he said,"has our friend come back yet?"
11127Were there any witnesses to the operation?
11127Were they living together at your house the night of March fourth?
11127Were you not asleep in this room?
11127What did he find?
11127What did he say?
11127What did he say?
11127What did you do then?
11127What did you do then?
11127What did you do when Mr. Reynolds roused you?
11127What did you do with it?
11127What do you mean? 11127 What do you want?"
11127What doing?
11127What else did you find in the room?
11127What examination of the house did you make-- if any?
11127What had she with her?
11127What have you there?
11127What sort of a dog?
11127What the devil do you want now?
11127What time was that?
11127What was the last you saw of her?
11127What was the maker''s name?
11127What was the nature of her illness?
11127What was the prisoner''s manner at that time?
11127What''s that?
11127What''s that?
11127What''s the matter with the Ladleys?
11127What''s the matter?
11127What''s the trouble, Holcombe?
11127When did Mrs. Ladley leave?
11127When did you see her again?
11127When do you expect him back?
11127When was that?
11127When were you here last?
11127When you saw Mrs. Ladley on Sunday, did she say she was going away?
11127When your wife left you at the bridge, did she say where she was going?
11127Where can we go?
11127Where did you find the blade?
11127Where did you see him first?
11127Where shall she put it?
11127Where was the clock when the Ladleys were moved up into this room?
11127Where were you between seven- thirty and eight- thirty?
11127Where?
11127Who are you, anyhow?
11127Who was the young man?
11127Why did n''t you notice?
11127Why did you meet her openly, and take her to the train?
11127Why did your wife leave without her fur coat?
11127Why do you think he strangled her?
11127Why should I help him? 11127 Why?"
11127Why?
11127Will you describe the operation?
11127Will you show the court that letter?
11127Will you sketch the cicatrix as you recall it?
11127Will you tell us fully the events of that night?
11127Will you tell us the nature of that visit?
11127Would you know him again?
11127Would you like it?
11127Yes?
11127You are a doctor of medicine, Doctor Littlefield?
11127You are certain she is out of the city?
11127You are certain you will not find it on the parlor mantel when the water goes down?
11127You are positive it was Jennie Brice?
11127You are sure the woman was Jennie Brice?
11127You came home after that?
11127You claim that this woman at Horner was your wife?
11127You could not wait to untie the boat, and yet you went along the river- front to see how high the water was?
11127You cut the boat loose?
11127You cut the boat''s painter with your pocket- knife?
11127You did it?
11127You did not use Mrs. Pitman''s bread- knife?
11127You do n''t know where she is?
11127You do not think he was-- was in love with Jennie Brice, do you?
11127You got the medicine first, you say?
11127You had not left it down- stairs?
11127You have n''t been sick, Mr. Howell, have you?
11127You have not seen a scar on his wrist?
11127You heard no one come in?
11127You knew Jennie Ladley?
11127You know the prisoner?
11127You operated on her, I believe?
11127You recall a coat being shown you?
11127You recognized the slipper?
11127You removed it?
11127You saw his wife at that time?
11127You think Ladley has gone for good?
11127You threw the line to him there?
11127You went directly back home?
11127You were under the impression that she was going to stay there?
11127You-- do you think Jennie Brice is dead, and that Mr. Howell knows-- who did it?
11127Your name?
11127Your occupation?
11127Your wife did not take an onyx clock away with her?
11127_ Did you_?
11127''Well, how about a murder, then?''
11127After they had quarreled violently all night, and when she was leaving him, would n''t he have allowed her to take herself away?
11127And if she had not worn it, how did it get in the water?
11127And the clock?"
11127And what time did you say this was?"
11127And why?
11127And yet it was curious, too, for if she had had it on, how did it get loose to go floating around Molly Maguire''s yard?
11127Are you sure this slipper belonged to Jennie Brice?"
11127But if it was, why did not Mr. Howell say so?
11127But is it not true that, upon a wet fur coat being shown you as your wife''s, you said it could not be hers, as she had taken hers with her?"
11127But what had Mr. Howell to do with it all?
11127But when he spoke, he was back to the crime again:"Did you ever work a typewriter?"
11127Can you identify it positively?"
11127Did he brain her with the clock?
11127Did he expect any one to believe that Jennie Brice had gone for a vacation without notifying the theater?
11127Did it have a red collar?"
11127Did n''t he say he burned it accidentally?"
11127Did not the prisoner, on the following day, tell you that he had cut his wrist in freeing the boat, and ask you for some court- plaster?"
11127Do I look as if I do n''t care?"
11127Do n''t you think you could be Alice Murray for a few moments?
11127Do you intend to become a corpse?"
11127Do you know how many starving dogs and cats I have found this morning?"
11127Do you remember?"
11127Do you?"
11127Does not this show that with all your alarm you went to the river- front first?"
11127Especially when she was to rehearse that week?
11127For what?"
11127Has this man made away with his wife, or has he not?"
11127Hornet, Horning, Horner-- Mrs. Pitman, will you go with me to the police station?"
11127How are you now?"
11127How can you wind a clock, time after time, and not know the maker''s name?
11127How could I?
11127How do you know she is dead?"
11127How had she gone?
11127I-- may I come in?"
11127If I let the two children in the dining- room have fifteen big moments, instead of five, who can blame me?
11127If it was not, who was it?"
11127Is that the case?"
11127It was on Sunday, the fourth, that the river came up, was n''t it?
11127Jennie Brice?
11127Ladley?"
11127Ladley?"
11127Ladley?"
11127Ladley?"
11127Ladley?"
11127Moved away?"
11127Mr. Howell, may I speak to you for a moment?"
11127Mrs. Pitman, does that Maguire woman next door sleep all day?"
11127My unsupported word--""You have been searching for Jennie Brice?"
11127Now, Mrs. Pitman, after the Ladleys had been moved to the upper floor, did you search their bedroom and the connecting room down- stairs?"
11127Now, what are we trying to do?"
11127One that nearly every housewife has in her possession?"
11127Or about the woman on the bridge?
11127Or choke her with the key?"
11127Or do n''t you care to?"
11127Or the body itself?"
11127Pitman?"
11127Pitman?"
11127Pitman?"
11127Pitman?"
11127Pittock?"
11127Secure in your coming forward at the last minute and confessing the hoax to save him, was there anything he might not have dared with impunity?"
11127So I had him again, and if I gave him only the dull knives, and locked up the bread- knife the moment I had finished with it, who can blame me?
11127The question is, then: Why was the knife taken?
11127Then, how do you know that this slipper was not left on the floor or in a closet?"
11127Then,"Is this Ladley''s writing?"
11127Then:"You saw Mr. Ladley when he brought your boat back?"
11127Try to interrupt this chain in the smallest degree, and what follows?
11127Want an injunction against the river for trespass?"
11127Well, what of it, Holcombe?
11127Well, what''s the trouble in your district?
11127What am I to think?"
11127What did you find?"
11127What possessed you to go away as you did?
11127What would you do?
11127Where does he get money, now that J.B. is gone?
11127Where would you go?"
11127Who are you?"
11127Who called you that?"
11127Who did this to you?
11127Who hurt you?"
11127Who is Llewellyn, and who is Eliza Shaeffer?
11127Who says he did?"
11127Who took it?
11127Who went to a private house?
11127Why did you_ cut_ the boat loose?"
11127Why had Mr. Bronson, who was likely the man with the pointed beard, said nothing about having traced Jennie Brice to Horner?
11127Why had he not told the police of the letter from Horner?
11127Why?"
11127Will you come to see me at once?
11127Wonder if he sees tube?
11127You may recall, Mr. Holcombe, that you offered to hang any man we would name, given a proper chain of circumstantial evidence against him?"
11127You moved them on Sunday?"
11127You''ll allow me to be glad, wo n''t you?"
11127_ Was_ it a town that was meant?
12195A cawntrack?
12195A''n''t she mine? 12195 About Katy?
12195But I suppose mine has been sold under mortgage?
12195But how did you come to be in Metropolisville?
12195But how will anybody know that you''re well- educated, I''d like to know, when you ca n''t say that you''ve graduated?
12195But is Kate going to be married in the spring?
12195But why did n''t you graduate? 12195 Can not_ you_ do something?"
12195Cawntrack? 12195 Certainly I have no objection to receive advice, Miss Marlay; but have you joined the other side?"
12195Charlton, what are you thinking about?
12195Come in? 12195 Dave Sawney?"
12195Did I? 12195 Did Mrs. Plausaby sign a paper yesterday?"
12195Did fa-- did Mr. Plausaby promise Katy some lots?
12195Did you sign it of your own free will, or did Mr. Plausaby make you?
12195Do n''t I know the ways of this wicked world? 12195 Do n''t you think, Mr. Charlton, that you would better take your mother''s suggestion, and go to your cousin''s?
12195Do you know what an awful thing I heard about that lake once?
12195Do you know what is in it?
12195Do you think people know what people say about them after they''re dead? 12195 Do you think that a man can really do good without God''s help?"
12195Does he hold scriptural views? 12195 Dollars?"
12195For selling himself into a mercenary marriage, and then higgling on a point of religious prejudice?
12195For what?
12195Four thousand?
12195Got out, did he?
12195Have n''t you a back- seat?
12195Have you seen him? 12195 Hey?"
12195How do, Katy? 12195 How long will it keep on going up?"
12195How should I know? 12195 How the devil did he get out?
12195How''d''e get out? 12195 How''s that?"
12195How? 12195 How?"
12195How?
12195How_ did_ she find out?
12195Howdy do, Mr. Charlton-- back again?
12195I did n''t take it, did I? 12195 Laid off a town, then, has he?"
12195Let Mr. Gray row a few times, wo n''t you?
12195Life''s a ladder-- What about it? 12195 May I decide what will make me happy?
12195Mother,said Albert, when they were gone,"is Katy going to be married in the spring?"
12195Mr. Charlton, could n''t you get Katy away while her relations with Westcott are broken? 12195 Mr. Lurton,"said Charlton impatiently one day,"were you ever troubled with doubt?"
12195Mr. Plausaby,said Lurton,"is it not better to repent of your sins and make restitution, than to hide them?"
12195Nooze? 12195 Now, Mrs. Plausaby,"she said,"what did Uncle Plausaby say to you that made you take that letter of Smith Westcott''s?"
12195Or, we can go to prison?
12195Pardoned?
12195Scruples, eh?
12195Settle it, will you? 12195 Settle it?"
12195Shall I tell her that you are innocent?
12195Shall we waive the reading of the indictment?
12195So you like Cecropias and bright- green beetles, do you?
12195Under mortgage? 12195 Varses?
12195Well, Gray,he said,"how are you?
12195Well, Jim, what''s the news?
12195Well, then, what makes you want me to confess?
12195Well, what?
12195Well,said Albert,"if Whisky Jim will sell out, why not get him to hold it for me for three weeks until I am of age?"
12195Well,said pertinacious Mrs. Ferret,"I''ll have to know what is in it, wo n''t I?"
12195What are those people living in tents for?
12195What can I do, Miss Marlay?
12195What cat out of what bag?
12195What do you mean, Gray?
12195What do you mean?
12195What do you want here?
12195What does he call his town?
12195What is the matter, Katy, dear?
12195What on airth''s the matter?
12195What part do you object to?
12195What they live that a- way fer? 12195 What, and drug people?
12195When did you hear from Gray?
12195When will it reach the top?
12195When? 12195 Where did you come from?"
12195Who told you that? 12195 Who''s that?"
12195Why do n''t Albert come and save us?
12195Why do you go, Albert?
12195Why not?
12195Why, how should I know?
12195Why?
12195Why_ did n''t_ you graduate?
12195Would n''t what?
12195You are an Episcopalian, I believe?
12195You want me to swear that I am twenty- one when I am not, to bribe the receiver, and to take a claim and all the improvements on it from a sick man?
12195You would n''t do that, Isabel? 12195 A cloud kivers up the sun And whar is yer shadder gone? 12195 Am I capable of judging?
12195Am I right?"
12195And I should like your name on the board of trustees of-- of--""The college?"
12195And Katy hesitated, and said in a deprecating tone:"You wo n''t mind, will you, Brother Albert?"
12195And after reading Charlton''s letter, what did Isa do?
12195And even yet, if he had not had collision with Isa on the question of Divine Providence?
12195And how does my sweet Katy?
12195And if she had to do it to save her husband from some awful trouble?
12195And if she was told to do it by her own husband?
12195And then, as the light grew more and more faint, he said:"Why did not I see it before?
12195And to marry his dishonor besides?
12195And what is history worth but for its human interest?
12195And where was it?
12195Are you interested in any way other than as a friend in Miss Isabel Marlay?
12195Brother, eh?
12195But could she love Lurton better than she could have loved any other man?
12195But do you think that the influence of the Christ is limited to them who hold right opinions about Him?
12195But how?
12195But is not a man better and more open to divine grace, for resisting a temptation to vice?"
12195But the girls?
12195But what could she do?
12195But what does Logic care for a Soul or its cry?
12195But what have I got to do with it?
12195But where?
12195But who could there be near enough to him to send flower- pots and framed pictures without great expense?
12195But why wo n''t that do?"
12195But, now that Katy was indeed dead, how did he feel?
12195But, to get rid of Isabel Marlay?
12195By the way, why did you never explain to her or to me or to any of your friends the real history of the case?
12195Can I do anything for you?"
12195Charlton?"
12195Comin''down to sleep on your claim?
12195Conger?"
12195Could anybody row against such a torrent?
12195Could n''t she be forgiven without that?
12195Could n''t she see what a forehead and eyes he had?
12195Dave, is this you?
12195Did Albert?"
12195Did Helen Minorkey ever think of the difference?
12195Did Mr. Lurton think that if she had done wrong, she ought to confess it?
12195Did he believe?
12195Did he fall in love?
12195Did n''t Isa think she could get well?
12195Did n''t he think she might get well?
12195Did n''t you feel a little teched at sompin''?"
12195Did she feel more sympathy for one who had fought and overcome, like Charlton, than for one who had never known a great struggle?
12195Did you never know such a case?"
12195Didn''lose your back- hair?
12195Do n''t I know?
12195Do n''t you think that a man may be drawn toward God by self- sacrifice-- that a brave, heroic act, in its very nature, brings us nearer to God?
12195Do n''t you wish she was n''t?
12195Do you blame the dahlia for not having the fragrance of a tuberose?
12195Do you see that air pistol?
12195Do you think God would be hard on a woman that did wrong if she was told to do it?
12195Do you think this bow''s nice?
12195Do you wonder at it?
12195Do you, now?
12195Do you, now?"
12195Eh, Katy?
12195Eh?
12195Eh?
12195Eh?"
12195Ever been here before?
12195Ever go to the Elysian?
12195For all the time you have seemed to be seeking the drowned person, and now at last you have got-- what?
12195For when he went out they showed unmistakable pleasure in their faces, and Mrs. Plausaby even ventured to ask:"Do n''t you like her, Albert?"
12195For, if he should fail of her, where would he ever find one so well suited to help the usefulness of his life?
12195Had he given up trying to find that new kind of grasshopper he spoke of the day before?
12195Have n''t I had all the silly sentiment took out of me?
12195Have you written any fresh verses lately?"
12195He received the articles with thankful lips, but asked in his heart,"Is it not enough to be a convict, without being pitied as such?"
12195Hey?
12195Hey?
12195Hey?
12195Hey?
12195Hey?"
12195Hey?"
12195How could she?
12195How do you know?
12195How do, Brother Albert?
12195How do, brother Albert?
12195How does that go?
12195How much?
12195How should he venture to hope that a woman who had refused Lurton, should be willing to marry him?
12195How would people receive him?
12195How would she receive his bitter words about one she loved to idolatry?
12195How you do, Mistare Sonee?
12195How''d''e like it fur''s he went?
12195How''s that?"
12195How''s the purty little girl?
12195Howdy git along?
12195I did n''t say so?"
12195I think strong political influences could be brought to bear at Washington in favor of your pardon?"
12195I understand, however, that that course is closed to us?"
12195I wonder who keeps the tavern at Cypher''s Lake now?
12195If he had not had a great curiosity about a question in botany which he could only settle in her company?
12195If he had not run against her, while madly chasing a grasshopper?
12195If you''re goin''to drown, why do n''t you do it and be done with it?
12195Indeed, life would be a very poor affair if it were not for these-- what shall I call them?
12195Is eet dat you weel have a peench of snuff?"
12195Is it easier for a woman to love a man than a model?
12195Is n''t it enough to have Katy drowned and Albert gone to that awful place and this trouble?
12195Is not God''s help in the good purposes of every man?"
12195Is there any new evidence?"
12195Jim gave him an annihilating look, and queried:"Didn''think I meant tew thaousand acorns, did ye?"
12195Jim was silent awhile, and then resumed in the same slow tone, but with something of condescension mixed with it:"Think so, do ye?
12195Just enough to confuse the jury?"
12195Lookin''solemn, eh?
12195Lucky, ai n''t I, to find you in?
12195Lurton?"
12195Miss Marlay?"
12195Mrs. Ferret, how do?
12195Mrs. Plausaby The Inhabitant A Pinch of Snuff Mrs. Ferret One Savage Blow full in the Face"What on Airth''s the Matter?"
12195No?
12195No?
12195Now you leave that air matter to me, will you?"
12195Now, squire, what is it?"
12195Now, wo n''t that do?
12195Or, is it that this high and ideal way of looking at such affairs is only another manifestation of practical wisdom?
12195Plausaby?"
12195Scalp all sound, eh?
12195See here, Mr. Charlton, do you''low this''ere''s a time fer varses?"
12195Shall I say that the man is not generous, but only ostentatious?
12195Shall I walk back with you?"
12195She was afraid she was going to die, and she had-- did Mr. Lurton think she would die?
12195Smoke, Mr. Charlton?
12195Suicide?
12195Then, after a pause, he said:"What does he call it?
12195Thought he might hev to turn in and do the rest of the ten years''job that''s owin''to Uncle Sam on that land- warrant, eh?
12195To the right or left?
12195Too low down, is n''t it?"
12195Visionary, was he?
12195Was Charlton, then, a member of a gang?
12195Was her confession necessary to remove blame from others?
12195Was it that he was too perfect?
12195Was it, then, that Isa would have liked a man whose soul had been a battle- field, rather than one in whom goodness and faith had had an easy time?
12195Was there any God?
12195Was there ever a war, since the days of the Greek hobby- horse, since the days of Rahab''s basket indeed, in which a woman did not have some part?
12195Weel you have one leetle peench of snuff?"
12195Were you going to our house?
12195What advantage would there be in throwing away the chances of a lifetime on a punctilio?
12195What could he need more?
12195What could she do?
12195What did Jim know-- what_ could_ a man who said"idees"know-- about the great world- reforming thoughts that engaged his attention?
12195What did he care for Isabel Marlay?
12195What do you call Albert for?
12195What do you look at me for?
12195What do you want?
12195What does_ she_ come for?
12195What good religious girl would not have been?
12195What have I to offer to any woman?
12195What if he is there now?"
12195What if he should drown himself in the lake?
12195What if she were graceful and full of a subtle fascination of presence?
12195What if she were kind one minute and repellent the next?
12195What justice was there in his going to prison?
12195What key- hole?"
12195What kind of a preacher will you be, Albert?"
12195What made you love me so?
12195What makes you look at me that way?
12195What makes you look that way?
12195What more natural than that Charlton should seize upon Smith Westcott''s land- warrant, and thus help himself and retard his rival?
12195What say you: Guilty, or, Not guilty?"
12195What shall I do?
12195What shall I do?"
12195What then?"
12195What to do about going to see Isabel?
12195What was the use of going to Red Owl to stay over Sunday?
12195What were they worth, after all?
12195What you goin''to do about it?
12195What''s the matter?"
12195When these discordant acids shall have ripened in the sunshine and the rain, who shall tell how good the fruit may be?
12195Where did you come from?
12195Why did n''t he wait till I''m dead?
12195Why did n''t somebody tell you about Nelly?
12195Why do n''t I hurry up then?
12195Why might he not let the serviceable lawyer do as he pleased?
12195Why not get free?
12195Why not get her strong sense on his side?
12195Why not?
12195Why should I pause to describe in detail the solemn services held in the grove by the lake?
12195Why should he go to prison?
12195Why should he stand on a scruple?
12195Why should he value such things?
12195Will you tell me whether that paper was of the nature of a will or deed or-- in short, what was its character?"
12195Wo n''t she?
12195Wo n''t that do?"
12195Wo n''t you sit down?"
12195Wonder how it feels to be a thief?
12195Wondered what tune Charlton would sing when he found himself beat?
12195Would Albert like_ him_?
12195Would God be hard on her if she did not tell it all?
12195Would n''t he pray for her unless she confessed it?
12195Would she go to heaven if she died?
12195Yes?
12195You can not ask your acquaintance,"How have you been?"
12195You do n''t want to leave him in penitentiary when you''re gone, do you?"
12195You understand?"
12195You wo n''t tell, and you wo n''t hate me, Isa, dear-- now, will you?
12195You''ll excuse me for speaking about what does not concern me?"
12195You''ll excuse, Mr. Charlton?
12195You''ve ben confined t''the haouse fer some time, I guess, p''r''aps?"
12195Your brother Albert handled him rough, did n''t he?
12195[ Illustration:"WHAT ON AIRTH''S THE MATTER?"]
12195_ Git_ up, wo n''t you?
12195_ Que voulez- vous?_ They must not many half- breeds.
12195ha!--and how''s Katy?
12195he cried, between praying and swearing,"must this alabaster- box of precious ointment be broken upon the head of an infernal coxcomb?"
12195if I wuz a jail- bird, With feathers like a crow, I''d flop around and--"Wat''s the rest?
12195what makes you tell so?
12195what must I do?
12371A defect!--where-- how?
12371A life- assurance office?
12371And how long has that bill to run now?
12371And now,said the defendant''s leading counsel,"let me ask my learned friend if he has succeeded in obtaining the attendance of Elizabeth Wareing?"
12371And the murderer?
12371And what means have you for meeting them?
12371Apart?
12371Are you quite sure? 12371 Are you serious?"
12371Are you sure he_ is_ your husband?
12371Are you very tired, mother?
12371But oh tell me, do you-- does your husband remember me with kindness? 12371 But, Mr. Leasem, touching this property which the poor man is entitled to?"
12371But, my dear Mr. Discount, surely such conduct would not be quite respectable?
12371By what mark or token?
12371Crowther& Jenkins!--what is it we know about Crowther& Jenkins?
12371Did Pearce sometimes wear a black, shiny hat?
12371Did Pearce walk with her home on the night of the murder?
12371Did she keep company with a man of the name of Pearce?
12371Did you indorse it?
12371Did you mention that you were present at the death of the late baronet?
12371Do I understand you to say there is no cupboard or place of concealment in the room?
12371Do you know her, then, Alfred?
12371Do you really think so?
12371Dorsetshire, sir?
12371Had he disappeared since that Sunday evening?
12371Had he got that letter?
12371Had she seen him since?
12371Had the incumbent of the living a curate at the time?
12371Has any one had access to the cupboard or recess of which this is the key, except yourself?
12371Have you a bill stamp?
12371Have you any witnesses to call?
12371Have you circulated any other bills made by the same drawer?
12371Have you copies of those documents?
12371Have you never been here before?
12371He has the ring of true metal in him,I remarked;"and is, I should suppose, a capital seaman?"
12371He that''s left him such heaps of money?
12371He was held to be skilful in the preparation of drugs, was he not-- well- versed in their properties?
12371How can you ask such a question? 12371 How can you be so ungenerous?
12371How dare you,he went on, almost shrieking with fury--"how dare you attempt to palm off these accursed lies on me?
12371How did you ascertain that Henry Grainger was the late Sir Harry Compton?
12371How do you know that?
12371How do you know that?
12371How is this?
12371How?
12371I need not be present, I think you said?
12371I suppose the plaintiff soon discharged her debtor out of custody?
12371I told you,he began,"some time ago about Crowther& Jenkins being the persons in whose names Catherine Arnold''s money stood in the funds?"
12371Is it indeed so?
12371Is it not delightful? 12371 Is that all?"
12371Is this all?
12371Is this it?
12371It is Leo, Sir Ralph''s dog,exclaimed the former,"what in God''s name can be the matter?"
12371Let me see,I resumed,"we have your present address-- Norton Folgate, I think?"
12371Mr. Leasem, can you reconcile it to your conscience to make such an arrangement? 12371 Mrs. Strugnell, are you there?"
12371News from my Cousin Archibald?
12371No chance of the prophecy yonder coming to pass I suppose?
12371Not part of the way?
12371Nothing worse than transportation is, I hope, likely to befall any of those interesting clients of yours?
12371Of Grosvenor Street you mean-- the East India director?
12371Oh, why-- why,I asked as soon as I could speak,"why have you not written to us?"
12371One question,muttered the major, as I finished the perusal of the letter--"Is Rosamond''s marriage legal?"
12371Perfectly,--what was the reply?
12371Pray, madam,said I,"is your name Wareing or Tucker?"
12371Pray, sir,I said,"could you meet that one hundred pounds bill, supposing it could not be paid by the accepter?"
12371Pray,said I, interrupting his excuses,"does your young lady''s name begin with S.?
12371Remind them of the infant at your breast-- your husband--"Who is that conferring with the prisoner?"
12371Say? 12371 Shall you?"
12371She recognized you then?
12371Sir Harry used those words?
12371Thank God, you are come,she said;"you have heard from him?
12371That, I believe, is your son''s handwriting?
12371The fellow''s wife is dead then?
12371Then you have really parted with that enormous sum of money without having had the title to the estate professionally examined?
12371This Martin is much changed for the better, I hear?
12371This lady,said one of the men, slightly touching Miss Brandon on the shoulder,"is, I believe, Clara Brandon?"
12371This second bill, you say is urgently required to enable Miss Snape to leave town?
12371This,said Mr. White,"is your solemn deposition, knowing yourself to be dying?"
12371To be sure he would: who doubts that? 12371 True; what_ do_ we know about Crowther& Jenkins?
12371Uffeulme? 12371 Was not the clasp- knife that had been found always left in the kitchen for culinary purposes?"
12371Was this person present at your marriage?
12371Well, I do n''t remember that Sawbridge told me-- he was in such a hurry; but suppose you go at once and look over the will?
12371Well, Mr. Ferret,said I, on entering my library, where I found him composedly awaiting my arrival,"what success?"
12371Well, and what did this gentleman say to that?
12371Well, and what return did you make for so much liberality?
12371Well, are we to have a heavy calendar?
12371Well, sir, what do you think_ now_ of a writ_ ad sub._?
12371Well, then, of any door or cupboard in the room?
12371Well, then-- would he lend the amount at any interest he chose?
12371Well, what have you to say?
12371Well,said I, as soon as he had concluded,"what course do you propose to adopt?"
12371Well?
12371What ails you, my dear husband?
12371What answer have you to make to this gentleman''s statement, thus corroborated?
12371What chance was there,he hopelessly argued,"that, holding the legal power, she would not exercise it?"
12371What devil''s fables are these you write me?
12371What devil''s gibberish is this?
12371What do I mean? 12371 What do they say?"
12371What do you think, Sharp?
12371What for? 12371 What gibberish is this about old Thorney and young Thorney?
12371What has she to say? 12371 What have you to say,"demanded the clerk,"why sentence of death should not be pronounced upon you, according to law?"
12371What is that?
12371What is the matter now?
12371What is the meaning of that ominous conjunction?
12371What of him, fellow?
12371What on earth can the eccentric old fox- hunter mean?
12371What on earth is all this noise about, John?
12371What part of the country do you come from?
12371What right has she or any one to interfere with us?
12371What would you say, young lady?
12371What,said he,"have I to do with all this?
12371What?
12371When was the last time?
12371Where could he get the money? 12371 Where to?"
12371Where was Pearce now?
12371Which is her room?
12371Who can this be?
12371Who gave you the order for the grave- stone?
12371Who has done me this grievous wrong? 12371 Who have you here, Lady Roberts?"
12371Who is she?
12371Who is that disturbing the court?
12371Who is this brother-- James Eccles, he calls himself-- whom you saw at the police- office, and who has twice been here, I understand-- once to- day?
12371Who put that there?
12371Who-- who,he said, after a few moments''silent reflection--"who is to conduct this painful, revolting inquiry?"
12371Who?
12371Why, what end can that answer? 12371 Why, what_ is_ the meaning of this?"
12371Why, woman,he added,"have you never spoken of this before?"
12371Why, you do n''t mean--?
12371Will she really though?
12371Will they accept of half-- two- thirds? 12371 Will you sign this?"
12371Would you be able to swear to the bottle if you saw it?
12371Yes she is; and what of that, fellow?
12371Yes; and you are a partner of this celebrated firm, are you not?
12371You are aware,said Mr. Flint,"that you have rendered yourself liable to transportation?"
12371You are not, sir, I believe, retained for the prosecution in the crown against Everett?
12371You ca n''t mean Mrs. Warner''s letter?
12371You do n''t mean it?
12371You do n''t say that you have trudged all the way with that youngster?
12371You have nothing further to say, I suppose?
12371You hinted the other day,said Burton,"that if you had not been short of present means you might have obliged me with the loan I required""Did I?"
12371You intend, of course,said he, addressing me,"to proceed at law?
12371You know Jane Eccles, one of my tenants in Bank Buildings-- the embroidress who adopted her sister''s orphan child?
12371You will not surrender her then?
12371_ Your_ house?
12371A word of more terrific import, with which I was about to conclude, stuck unuttered in my throat"Have you employed an attorney?"
12371Advertise?
12371After a prelude, I said,"I find, Mr. F., you are entitled to something; pray, what do you mean to give me in addition to my bill, for obtaining it?"
12371After the lapse of a few seconds, a voice-- Mrs. Armstrong''s undoubtedly-- asked in a tremulous tone if"all was over?"
12371And if he had_ not_ discovered it, how could he, Jennings, get at the drawers to examine them?
12371And now, sir, tell me, can anything be done-- any device suggested to retrieve this miserable blunder, this terrible mistake?"
12371And pray, Mrs. Tucker, were you ever''in trouble''in London for robbing your lodgings?"
12371And why, dearest, should not every magnificence attend our nuptials?
12371Andrews?"
12371Anything else?"
12371Are they gone?"
12371Are you, according to the promise of the serpent- tempter,''gods, knowing good from evil?''
12371Armstrong?"
12371At last he said,"I shall take a longer journey to- morrow, Caleb-- much longer; let me see-- where did I say?
12371BIGAMY OR NO BIGAMY?
12371Borrowed it, doubtless, but of whom?
12371Bourdon?"
12371Burton?"
12371But are you sure you can effectually conceal the place of her retreat?"
12371But did I understand you to say just now, that it was of no consequence if a man married in a false name?"
12371But do ye mind what it was he went off in such a skurry for?
12371But must the innocent child suffer for his father''s offence?"
12371But of course you submitted the draught to counsel?"
12371But what could be done?
12371But will you accompany me?
12371But your son is not ill?"
12371But, did you ever know anything like the prejudices that must prevail against you?
12371By whom?"
12371Can I see William Martin?"
12371Can I still reckon on his protection-- his support?"
12371Could it be the man before me?
12371Could you lend me half a sovereign till Saturday?"
12371Did you know her?"
12371Do you know any just cause or impediment why they should not be joined together in holy wedlock?"
12371Do you know to whom you presume to speak in this manner?"
12371Do you not come from Major Stewart?"
12371Ferret?"
12371Has any thing happened?
12371Has he done so?
12371Has she not a very pale face, and cold gray eye?"
12371He answered humbly after much pressing,"Would you think ten shillings too much?"
12371He often looked up anxiously into his mother''s face, and asked if they had much farther to go?
12371He will allow, till Archibald attains his majority-- Let me see-- how old is that boy of yours now?"
12371Her husband answered"Yes: but where be the keys of the writing- desk kept?"
12371Her voice, albeit, was musical and gentle as ever, as she murmured, on recovering her senses,"You will protect me from my-- from that man?"
12371How are we to do either in London, away from home?"
12371How can that fact, standing alone, affect your claim?"
12371How could any one suppose that an involuntary misdescription can affect such a contract?"
12371How could it be otherwise with a criminal code crowded in every line with penalties of death, nothing but-- death?
12371How did you get here?"
12371How much do you expect?
12371How much_ money_ do you expect for keeping this wretched affair secret?
12371How?
12371I answered;"do you take us for idiots?
12371I do not know-- But how,"she added, pushing back her hair, and pressing her hands against her hot temples,"can this be?
12371I must, I suppose, give you a receipt?"
12371I replied,"Pray, sir, from whom did you get this bill?"
12371I wish the''fountain of honor''was somewhat charier of its knights and ladies, and then perhaps"--"What, for mercy''s sake, are you running on about?"
12371I wonder where they could get a lodging?"
12371Is it not enough that one of the kindest, best of God''s creatures, has perished, but_ another_ sacrifice must-- What do I say?
12371Is not that so?"
12371Is that_ all_ you want me to go to Lunnon for?"
12371Is there nothing else?"
12371It was rude, I own; but who could have helped it?
12371It was this--"Did you ever struggle with your son on the landing leading to the bedroom of the deceased for the possession of this bottle?"
12371Martin?"
12371Mr. Richards, and you, Mr. Quillet, will you permit me to observe that this admirable will has_ one_ slight defect?"
12371Mrs. Strugnell, it was supposed, had not returned from town; but where was Mr. Wilson, who was almost always at home both day and night?
12371Need we describe the day of delight Sir Ralph passed in the castle, lingering from hour to hour until the dusk?
12371Need we repeat the oft- told tale of love?
12371No rumble-- tumble through the spiritual courts?"
12371Now, do n''t you think( this was said very insinuatingly)--don''t you think he had better be sent to the work- house?
12371Now, sir, do I, or do I not, thoroughly know who and what the man is I am addressing?"
12371Now, tell me are you goose enough to expect you will ever see the money again you so foolishly threw into the bottomless pit of chancery?"
12371Now, will you promise me one thing more?
12371On what ground?"
12371Only, if you could be so good as to see her?"
12371Or if a material witness, why have you not called her at the proper time?"
12371Or, perhaps, you think it is only the blood of the rich and great which, shed unjustly, brings forth the iron harvest?
12371People have been wrongfully accused before to- day, I suppose?"
12371Perhaps there was something in the expression of my countenance which Mr. Axminster did not like, for he said,"It is good for the amount, I presume?"
12371Perhaps you will permit me to read the will?
12371Presently some one asked if any body had seen Mrs. Strugnell?
12371Sharp?"
12371Sharp?"
12371Sharp?"
12371Stay,"I added, as his hand was on the door;"the identity of your son can be proved, I suppose, by better evidence than your own?"
12371Strugnell?"
12371Surely he will draw that up himself after his own common- sense, business fashion?"
12371Tell me, how many of these things have you put afloat?"
12371The applicant mused a few moments, and then said,"Would you discount the note of Mr. James Hornby of Pool?"
12371The clerk, I dare say, read as well as he was able; but old, near- sighted, and possessed of anything but a clear enunciation, what could be expected?
12371The gray- headed man glanced sharply at the signature, and then at Burton,"Why, surely this is not Mr. Hornby''s signature?
12371The hot blood suffused the temples of the indignant wife as she said,"This apartment, madam, I believe is mine?"
12371The other things I have got; and you, I suppose, will let me have the drawers for-- say a pound profit on your bargain?"
12371The peremptory rejection by her guardian of young Burford''s addresses, though sanctioned by her father: you know the Burfords?"
12371Then, violently, pulling the check- string,"Stop,"she gasped,"and_ will you_ have the goodness to get out?"
12371This is quite true; and why?
12371Thorndyke?"
12371Upon being asked what she had to say why the sentence of the law should not be carried into effect?
12371Was it not, my lord?"
12371Well, what has befallen her?"
12371What allowance will be enough to keep you comfortably?"
12371What better title than prescription can there be?"
12371What can be the meaning of this scene?"
12371What can it mean?"
12371What could have detained him from his wife, shut up, imprisoned, as it were, in that hot, hurrying, stifling city?
12371What could it mean?
12371What could the man mean?
12371What could this mean?
12371What did you say was the niece''s name?"
12371What do they say?"
12371What do you mean?"
12371What else?
12371What indeed would it, as I have been told and believe, avail, but to cause the death of two deceived innocent persons instead of one?
12371What is the meaning of this array then?"
12371What is the nature of her disorder?"
12371What may that mean?"
12371What new horror would you evoke?
12371What reason,"I added,"do the company assign for non- payment?"
12371What should he do?
12371What the devil do you mean?"
12371What was to be done for food even for her boy?
12371When he opened them again, it was broad daylight; and his first thought was, had he overslept himself?
12371When, madam, did you say Sir Harry-- Mr. Grainger-- first began to urge emigration?"
12371Where were the high- strung nerves now?
12371Who knows how the portrait has been obtained?"
12371Whom, in the name of the god of thieves-- Mercury, was n''t he called?--do you suppose the bankrupt executors to be?
12371Why am I asked such questions?"
12371Why do you ask?"
12371Why, what did you expect?"
12371Will you send my boy to his father, when I am gone?"
12371You both remember Jane Eccles?"
12371You do not, I hope, forget that I once had the honor of transacting business for you?"
12371You intend, I suppose, that I should undertake this little affair?"
12371You know Mr. Angerstein of Bath?"
12371You know her by sight, I think?"
12371You know the Dobsons?"
12371You may remember Harvey, my lord, whom you hanged the other day at--?"
12371You noticed that he rode outside, bitter cold as it is?".
12371Your husband, I hope has always borne a good character?"
12371Your journey was useless then?"
12371and what may the news be?"
12371exclaimed Burton;"what do you mean by that?"
12371exclaimed Mr. Ferret with an explosive shout, and turning to me, whilst his sharp gray eyes danced with irrepressible mirth--"Did I not tell you so?"
12371said the girl, looking sharply up, and suddenly coloring--"What is that?"
12371said the lady,"When, I pray you?"
12371tell me, Mr. Gray, have you seen him?"
12371that pinches you, does it?
12371the bounding heart?
12371the elastic frame?
12371to receive four hundred pounds he did not expect?"
12371when did this happen?"
12371whom?"
12932''Why not look inside?''
12932A sufferer like myself?
12932And Lord Seastoke? 12932 And contrived to be in here alone?"
12932And do any of those-- say, during the rush-- do any of those run non- stop from Lambeth to Swanstead?
12932And have n''t I been mocked and despised and sneered at every day of my life here by your supercilious, superior, empty- headed men?
12932And how do you know what to mark?
12932And how do you propose to prevent it?
12932And that blinded you?
12932And this gentleman? 12932 And this room could not be entered without your knowledge while you were about the place?"
12932And what does that amount to? 12932 And you remembered-- with no reason to?"
12932And you think?
12932And, with your knowledge, no one has had an opportunity of having access to this book?
12932Are your ears never hoodwinked, may I ask?
12932But I wonder?
12932But a little expensive, too, at times?
12932But do you mean that he is going to direct a flash of lightning?
12932But how the deuce did you know?
12932But if it is, as it probably is in Creake''s pocket, how do you propose to get it?
12932But is he interested in Indo- Scythian inscriptions?
12932But this_ Gloire_, so carefully trained--?
12932But what does it mean?
12932But what guarantee have we that he will not escape?
12932But what is the use of defying fate, and who successfully evades his destiny? 12932 But why-- why-- why?
12932But will he come?
12932Can not we trust our own eyes?
12932Connected with the Arcady Theatre?
12932Creake, Brookbend Cottage?
12932Did you ever notice the signals on the Great Northern Railway, Louis?
12932Do I look interested?
12932Do you care to see the garden?
12932Do you happen to have a wooden foot- rule convenient?
12932Do you mean-- literally blind?
12932Do you remember how we used to pile it up on that obtuse ass Sanders, and then roast him?
12932Do you unearth many murders?
12932Do you?
12932Eh?
12932Even with a lion-- handled it?
12932Ghoosh? 12932 Has any doubt been cast upon it?"
12932Has anyone else recognized you?
12932Have you ever reflected what human beings will think of us a hundred years hence?
12932Have you?
12932Here are my family heirlooms-- a few decent pearls, my grandfather''s collection of camei and other trifles-- but who--?
12932His clothes?
12932How do you come to know of Nina Brun and Lord Seastoke?
12932How do you propose to get that telegram, Max?
12932How does one know these things? 12932 How ever did he do it?"
12932I expect that there is a certain amount of repair needed?
12932I remember--"Yes, Louis?
12932I suppose Mr. Greatorex is n''t still here by any chance, Parkinson?
12932I suppose you are very fond of gardening?
12932I suppose you know all about the typist by now, Louis?
12932In what way?
12932Is he interested in aviation?
12932Is it all bunkum, Max? 12932 Is it usual?"
12932Is it?
12932Is n''t it Louis Calling?
12932Is n''t that what you wanted of me?
12932Is she unmarried?
12932Is that all right?
12932Is that sum contingent on any specific performance?
12932Is there really anything in it, Max?
12932It is a significant fact, seriously?
12932Late Flemish, is n''t it?
12932May I inquire if it is a recent photograph of the gentleman, sir?
12932May I make a suggestion?
12932May I step out on to the balcony?
12932Meals?
12932Mr. Baxter, I think?
12932Mr. Hollyer knows of my disability?
12932My daughter, sir; you would n''t have her not know?
12932No duplicate or master- key?
12932No indication of anyone coming to us from there?
12932No, sir?
12932Not Mead.... Do you mean that Hutchins--?
12932Not particularly, Why?
12932Nothing showy or expensive, eh?
12932Now? 12932 Oh, whatever is the matter?"
12932Oh,he commented softly,"always; and it was quite a saying, was it?
12932Our tawny friend?
12932Possibly a sort of up- to- date Sweeney Todd''s?
12932Quite empty?
12932Rather thick string-- unusually thick for the purpose?
12932Seriously?
12932Stopped? 12932 Suppose I happen to forget it?
12932Surely my man has got your name wrong?
12932That came out at the inquest, I presume?
12932That is what you are going to find out, Louis?
12932That was your business all day-- running between Notcliff and Ingerfield?
12932That would hardly be fair, would it?
12932The windows are frosted?
12932The_ Martian_?'' 12932 Then can you tell me, without looking, what colour Professor Bulge''s eyes are?"
12932Then why do n''t you take him into the parlour?
12932Then why--?
12932There are, of course, other trains doing exactly the same journey-- a service, in fact?
12932There is a tobacconist''s shop directly opposite?
12932They can be stopped, I take it?
12932This is a most important clue, Sir Benjamin--"Hey, what? 12932 This was a safety deposit,_ nicht wahr_?"
12932This''Oxo''one, sir?
12932This, Parkinson,he said, when the man appeared,"is a photograph of a Mr.---- What first name, by the way?"
12932Unless I am misinformed, you are not so ungallant as to include everyone you have met here in your execration?
12932Unsatisfactory, eh?
12932Very ingenious,admitted Mr. Carlyle,"but why did you really go?
12932Vidal?
12932Was it-- a profitable investment?
12932We are not going direct?
12932We are passing a hoarding, are we not?
12932Well, Louis?
12932Well, Max?
12932Well, why not look inside?
12932Well?
12932What are you doing, Max?
12932What can you or anyone else do anyhow? 12932 What can you tell me about that?"
12932What colour were his eyes?
12932What did the manager say?
12932What did you say, Max?
12932What do they sell on the first floor?
12932What do you make of it?
12932What is it that you really want to know?
12932What is that, Max?
12932What is that?
12932What is the fee?
12932What is''Rubbo,''Max?
12932What next, Max?
12932What on earth has that got to do with it, may I inquire?
12932What word will you take?
12932What''s the matter with the parlour now?
12932What''s this?
12932What, however, are the facts?
12932Where on earth am I to go now?
12932Who can say?
12932Who is this, sir?
12932Why the States, Max?
12932Why, Louis?
12932Why, that actually was the number of his engine-- how do you know it?
12932Why?
12932Why?
12932Will it take long?
12932Will you come this way, please?
12932Will you do it?
12932Will you go in, sir?
12932With the same stops on all the down journeys?
12932Without notifying anything wrong?
12932Would you like to see her?
12932Yes, but how do you know?
12932You are in no particular hurry?
12932You are prepared to put your own arrangements aside?
12932You do n''t happen to live at Swanstead yourself, sir?
12932You hardly imagine that I have not considered this eventuality, do you?
12932You hardly remember me, I suppose? 12932 You have just received this, Mr.--Mr. Berge, is n''t it?"
12932You insist that you alone have been in charge for the last six months?
12932You know? 12932 You mean it, sir?
12932You miss the dog and the stick?
12932You noticed, in fact, nothing special by which Parkinson could be identified?
12932You read?
12932You really mean this, Carrados?
12932You saw that girl-- my own daughter, that I''ve worked for all her life?
12932You saw that, sir?
12932You see the whole sequence, of course?
12932You seriously suggest that the man was not Professor Bulge-- that he was an impostor?
12932You still mean that-- seriously?
12932You think something may come of it, sir? 12932 You think that everything is all right?"
12932You were at the end of your tether?
12932You were prepared for it then?
12932You will not mind my fixing a''developer''here, Miss Chubb-- a few small screws?
12932You will remember him for the future?
12932You wish to see over the house?
12932You wished to see me?
12932You wo n''t believe that there is nothing to explain-- that it was purely second- sight?
12932_ My dear Friends_,--Aren''t you glad? 12932 ''Creake,''he said,''oh, he''s the man with the romantic typist, is n''t he?'' 12932 ''What about the typist?'' 12932 ''_ Why not look inside_?''
12932107 still?"
129327436?
12932An Indian gentleman, I presume?"
12932And how do they come to pick on me?
12932And it is?"
12932And, finally, how is he possibly to determine beforehand whether there is anything in my safe to repay so elaborate a plant?"
12932And_ why_ was it always so on Thursday?"
12932Are n''t you happy at this moment?
12932Are there a few yards of string hanging loose from it?"
12932Are there any of the porters or officials about here?"
12932As they drove home again Carrados explained, and Mr. Carlyle sat aghast, saying incredulously:"Good God, Max, is it possible?"
12932Besides, why should n''t you?
12932But he merely contributed an encouraging"Yes?"
12932But was the engine- driver responsible?
12932But what is the drift of all this?"
12932But why are you pitied?"
12932But why do you beg my pardon, Louis?"
12932But will anyone who can tell me be there now?"
12932But, I mean, how did he study his model?"
12932Can it really be possible that he also has made a similar discovery?"
12932Carlyle''in consequence?
12932Carlyle?"
12932Carrados?"
12932Carrados?"
12932Carrados?"
12932Carrados?"
12932Cast off the burden of your sinful lusts, for what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?
12932Could you not carry this one through?"
12932Creake?"
12932Did he by any chance come here on Monday?"
12932Do you happen to carry a revolver?"
12932Do you think that you would be able to find me an oil lamp?"
12932Does your theory involve the certainty of the fireman being killed, Louis?"
12932Drishna?"
12932Have you any idea whether Mrs. Creake has real ground for it?"
12932Have you ever tried to see a copy of a telegram addressed to someone else?"
12932Have you noticed that you were pulled up oftener on a Thursday than on any other day?"
12932Have you seen him?"
12932He sat down however, and added more quietly:"But why do I tell you all this?
12932Hollyer?"
12932Hollyer?"
12932How did you recognize me?"
12932How do we proceed?"
12932How much has he cleared?"
12932I am a blind man-- I have n''t seen my servant for twelve years-- what idea can you give me of him?
12932I believe you were typing when I came.... Aren''t you having me?"
12932I hope everything is all right?"
12932I know something of that, Max... Have you any idea what my business is?"
12932I sent out for some tea, and in the course--""How long was she alone in here?"
12932I suppose it is large enough to burn for a whole evening?"
12932I suppose you happened to discover that Nina Brun had gone there?"
12932I want you to go up the steps-- there are steps up the signal, by the way?"
12932If, therefore--?"
12932Is it not conceivable, Louis, that an even more remarkable series might be brought about by design?"
12932Is it one that is familiarly on the lips of the criminal classes?
12932Is the return of my irreplaceable notes on''Polyphyletic Bridal Customs among the mid- Pleistocene Cave Men''to depend on a solitary director?
12932Is there a signal at either end of the platform?"
12932Is there anything in that way that I can do for you?"
12932Is there no one who can really say whether the thing is genuine or not?"
12932Is there nothing more that I can do now?"
12932Is there something inherently comic about me or the atmosphere of The Turrets?"
12932It has occurred to me--""Yes, Max?"
12932Just now-- look here, Baxter, ca n''t you give me a line of introduction to some dealer in this sort of thing who happens to live in town?
12932Now do you know how this place is secured, Max?"
12932Now what do you want me to do, Max?"
12932Now what is it?"
12932Now who goes through?"
12932Now, Mead, what is he like?
12932Now, you would like to see these men?"
12932Shall I ask Hutchins to come here to see you-- say to- morrow?
12932Shall I read it for you?"
12932She came here, of course?"
12932She will not?"
12932That makes you smile?"
12932The cheque, of course, to be given immediately the goods are delivered?"
12932The date?"
12932The engine- driver is your client, of course?"
12932The jury were inclined to exonerate the signalman, were n''t they?
12932There is one to each safe, I think?"
12932This is not--""It was a safety deposit?
12932This is what you require, sir?"
12932Well, what is it you want to know?"
12932Well, what of that?
12932What do I find?
12932What do you propose?"
12932What has the company done with your man?"
12932What have you done on that line?"
12932What have you done?"
12932What is being done?
12932What is he like?"
12932What is the explanation?
12932What is the trouble?"
12932What jewellery did Miss Hutchins wear?"
12932What of that?
12932What was there for me to do?
12932What''s on, I say?
12932What''s that?"
12932What''s the game, I say?
12932Where are the police?"
12932Where are you staying now?"
12932Where are you staying?"
12932Where does he live?"
12932Where were you on Monday, Professor?"
12932Which is right?"
12932Who are the guilty persons?
12932Who is he?"
12932Why did you not tell me?
12932Why do n''t he_ do_ something for his money?"
12932Why have I heard nothing of it before?"
12932Why on earth should he want to know about London?"
12932Will that suit you?"
12932Would you like to test them?"
12932Wynn Carrados?
12932You have seen him, of course?"
12932You really mean that?"
12932You remember the awful smash on the Central and Suburban at Knight''s Cross Station a few weeks ago?"
12932You think you will be able to clear me?
12932You want it repeated?"
12932You will not-- you will not desert us?"
12932You wo n''t mind, will you?"
12932You would like the particulars of that?"
12932You''ll excuse me now, Mr. Carlyle, wo n''t you?
12932You''ve had to do with''expert witnesses,''I suppose?"
12932_ Ja_?"
12932bearer bonds?
12932cried Mr. Carlyle hotly,"you are not going to let this scoundrel cheat the gallows after all?"
12932do you realize that you are responsible for the death of scores of innocent men and women?"
12932exclaimed Drishna, dropping his affectation of unconcern as though electrified by the word,"do you mean-- really blind-- that you do not see me?"
12932he managed to articulate,"how do you know?"
12932it is n''t Max Wynn-- old''Winning''Wynn"?
12932said the landlady, feeling that it would be a pleasure to oblige so agreeable a gentleman,"what else might there be?"
12932to know what I had?
12932you do n''t mean to say that you have got Mead to admit it?"
16051''S that you, Dorgan? 16051 A boxing- match?"
16051A crime?
16051A drug? 16051 Afraid of what?"
16051Ah, that''s different, is n''t it? 16051 Ah-- what do you think of these-- ah-- Americans?"
16051Ai n''t that like these book chaps?
16051Am I?
16051And some day will you call me Thomas?
16051And that?
16051And the thief was on board all the time?
16051Any one in mind?
16051Any poker lately?
16051Anything against the idea?
16051Anything in the way to prevent you?
16051Anything more about Mr. Crawford''s valet?
16051Are you by chance a university man?
16051Are you good at accounting?
16051Are you sure, Haggerty?
16051At what are they valued?
16051Bottle of beer? 16051 But what''s the harm in a good scrap between two husky fellows, trained to a hair to slam- bang each other?"
16051But where?
16051By the way, what''s the name of that steward who took my daughter''s sapphires?
16051Ca n''t you remember the least thing about him?
16051Can you prove it, Thomas?
16051Chauffeur, what''s your name?
16051Could you tell an honest man from a dishonest one?
16051Crawfords? 16051 Did n''t you?"
16051Do y''want t''appear against him?
16051Do you hope he''ll get away?
16051Do you intend to remain long in America-- incog?
16051Do you know any earls or dukes?
16051Do you like Americans?
16051Do you like your present occupation?
16051Do you think I ever will?
16051Does it do any good?
16051Does mother know it?
16051Does n''t Jameson take his peg a little too often, sir?
16051Doing?
16051Found anything?
16051Found whom?
16051Four thousand for half an hour?
16051Free?
16051Got your man?
16051Haggerty, suppose you and I knock the billiard balls around for half an hour?
16051Haggerty, the detective?
16051Haggerty?
16051Have you any fire- arms with you, Mort?
16051Have you ever had any contact with real poverty?
16051He said that?
16051How d''you suppose I''m going t''find out who done it, or how it was done, then?
16051How long''ll it take you?
16051How much have you offered him as a salary?
16051How old is Kitty?
16051How would you recognise him?
16051How''s th''gink in number four?
16051How?
16051Huh?
16051I?
16051If we had a lord for breakfast-- I mean, at breakfast-- would you feel at ease? 16051 Insulted Kitty?"
16051Is it not true?
16051Is it possible that it was empty, miss?
16051Kittibudget, what the deuce is all this about? 16051 Kitty Killigrew, what have you been doing?"
16051Leaving?
16051Lonesome?
16051May I ask what it is you are reading?
16051May I?
16051Miss Killigrew?
16051Molly, how long have we been married?
16051Molly, what has happened? 16051 Mr. Killigrew is in the smoking- room?"
16051Never''ll get that out o''your head, will you?
16051Picnic this afternoon; going along?
16051Pounds?
16051Remember File Number 113?
16051Robbed o''what, y''soak?
16051Roll''i m, ol''sport? 16051 Rolled?"
16051Say what?
16051See him?
16051She did?
16051Six t''ten carats? 16051 So that''s his game, huh?"
16051Social superior? 16051 Still dizzy, eh?
16051Supposing I have?
16051Sure he left this morning?
16051Temper? 16051 The boat?"
16051The sapphires? 16051 The steward?"
16051Then you believe that he is up to his old tricks again?
16051Thomas, will you go to Brazil the first week in September?
16051Thomas?
16051Valuable?
16051Webb?
16051Webb?
16051Webb?
16051Well, what does it say?
16051Well,said his wife, with an amused smile,"why do n''t you say it?"
16051Well?
16051What about?
16051What are these regular keys for?
16051What did Jameson take away from you?
16051What did she do?
16051What did you register?
16051What do you believe?
16051What has happened?
16051What have you been doing to Thomas?
16051What have you done with the romance?
16051What is it?
16051What is that to you, sir?
16051What now?
16051What now?
16051What the dickens have you been doing now? 16051 What were y''robbed of?"
16051What''s his man look like?
16051What''s th''matter?
16051What''s the row, Crawffy?
16051What, I?
16051What? 16051 What?
16051What?
16051What?
16051What?
16051Where is it, you dog? 16051 Where is it?
16051Where were the Crawfords?
16051Where were you between''leven an''twelve last night?
16051Where''s Kitty?
16051Where''s Mike''s?
16051Where''s th''phone?
16051Where''s your light?
16051Where''s your sable stole? 16051 Which key is it that unlocks a door?"
16051Which key?
16051Who are you, and what''s your business with me?
16051Who is he?
16051Who''s got th''suite across th''hall?
16051Why did n''t y''lodge a complaint against him?
16051Why did n''t you say that at once, Mr. Webb? 16051 Why should I be afraid?
16051Why, Haggerty, how are you? 16051 Why, Haggerty, what''s up?
16051Will you be so good, Miss Killigrew, as to tell me why you Americans call a palace like this-- a cottage?
16051Will you be wanting me, Miss Killigrew?
16051Will you have these reset and wear them for me?
16051Will you make it an hour and a half, sir?
16051Will you wear them?
16051Would n''t an old one do?
16051Would that make any difference with Kitty if she wanted to get out? 16051 Would you like to go to the picnic this afternoon?"
16051You accept that condition?
16051You agree with me, Molly, do n''t you, that Kitty shall marry when and where she pleases?
16051You are my steward, I believe?
16051You are wanting me, miss?
16051You decline?
16051You kissed Kitty?
16051You know where my club is, do n''t you?
16051You rang, miss?
16051You-- kissed-- Kitty?
16051Young lookin''? 16051 ''Old himself like a sojer?
16051A confederate?"
16051A good sailor?
16051A silly affectation, do n''t you think so?"
16051After all, does a Manx cat know that it is incomplete?
16051Alone?
16051Among the unanswerable questions stands prominently: Why do we laugh when a man loses his hat?
16051And it all hung by a hair: would Mason watch?
16051And on what errand?
16051And private secretary to the very person he had robbed?
16051And was he ashamed of the fact?
16051And what did they say to this scathing arraignment?
16051And what would Kitty say?
16051And where was that man Mason?
16051And why was Kitty so white?
16051Apologize?
16051Besides,"--with a nod toward the suitcases--"if you''re not the man, why this hurry?
16051But epic poetry?
16051But how was this man Jameson t''know anything about sapphires if they was n''t any?"
16051But how''ll I start her off?"
16051But why should he wish to wear that mournfully conventional suit in which we are supposed to enjoy ourselves?
16051CHAPTER XXIII"Mr. Killigrew,"whispered Haggerty,"will you get Miss Kitty an''Thomas int''th''study- end o''th''library?"
16051Ca n''t this be smoothed over some way?
16051Can I give you a lift?"
16051Caught in th''act, huh?"
16051Cigar?
16051Confusion and his cohort of synonyms( why not?)
16051Crawford?"
16051D''y''think y''could recognize him if y''saw him?"
16051Did Mr. Crawford advise you where to look for me?"
16051Did he hit you with these?"
16051Did she see but the surface of things?
16051Did y''ever hear th''likes?
16051Did you ever see such an ass, Crawford?
16051Did you notice how he smiled when he showed it to me?
16051Do n''t you get it?
16051Do you call that fire- opal a trinket?
16051Do you need any funds?"
16051Do you realize what such an action means to any young woman with pride?
16051Do you understand?
16051Do you want to risk it?"
16051Does he wish a palace, a yacht, a rare jewel?
16051For what had the man come?
16051Gone at once to New York and sent for his belongings?
16051Good heavens, do I look as if I were joking?
16051Got any witch- hazel?"
16051Got anything to do to- night?"
16051Had Thomas been a haberdasher prior to his stewardship?
16051Had n''t he and his attendants been overcome in the same manner?
16051Had not theirs always been the power behind the throne?
16051Had your breakfast?"
16051Have you got your collar up?"
16051Have you not found them so?"
16051He must leave England at once, but the question was-- How?
16051Heard o''th''Maharajah''s emeralds?"
16051How do you account for that feeling?"
16051How do you account for that?"
16051How many pounds did a dress- suit cost in this hurly- burly country?
16051How much was the ruby worth?"
16051How much?"
16051Is anything wrong?"
16051Is it generous, then, to kiss a girl without so much as by your leave?
16051It gave rise to a satirical leader on the editorial page:"What''s the matter with us republicans?
16051Keep- sakes?
16051Killigrew?"
16051Like a little money advanced?
16051Lord Monckton?
16051Lose my temper?
16051Mr. Killigrew gone to New York?"
16051Now, then, what would he, Haggerty, do if he were in Mason''s shoes?
16051Now, who the deuce is this chap Webb?
16051Now, you, what''s happened?"
16051Or was it because the wretch knew that he, Thomas, would not dare cry out over his loss?
16051Plug, is n''t that the American for it?"
16051Proof, proof; but where?
16051Red cheeks?
16051Royalties are frumps, are n''t they?
16051Say, Mr. Killigrew, any place where I could hang out down there for a couple o''days?"
16051See any one running before y''saw th''lights?"
16051She had almost said:"Thomas, what have you done with my sapphires?"
16051So that was why her coup had fallen flat?
16051So this was the weapon?
16051Some one had entered this deserted house: for what?
16051Sonnets?
16051Th''question is, did he take it from you''r you from him?
16051That you, Webb?"
16051The sea?
16051Thomas?"
16051Tummy?"
16051Two bangs all in one morning?
16051Was Haggerty after him with the third degree?
16051Was it a corner of the curtain she had been striving to look behind?
16051Was it that very nonsense he dreaded, insidiously attacking the redoubts of his common sense?
16051Was there light in the house, fluid in the wires?
16051Was there something deeper?
16051Webb?"
16051Webb?"
16051Webb?"
16051Webb?"
16051Webb?"
16051Well, if y''ever see Mason again, what''ll y''do?"
16051Were all American fathers mad?
16051Were you in this sort of business while you were serving me?"
16051What Englishman lives who does not?
16051What did it mean?
16051What do you think about it?"
16051What do you think of the idea?"
16051What do you wish to know, sir?"
16051What had alarmed him?
16051What had been the wager; and what was the meaning of the six months?
16051What had happened to the coffee market?
16051What had he wagered and lost?
16051What in heaven''s name had happened?
16051What is his name?"
16051What living mother would harbor a dream of a clerkship in a haberdasher''s shop?
16051What more did they want?
16051What shall we do?"
16051What should he do?
16051What should she do now?
16051What was all this about?
16051What was it?"
16051What was this blighter of a detective doing at the villa?
16051What was up?
16051What will you be wanting to see me about, sir?"
16051What would become of all her wonderfully maneuvered plans?
16051What would he do without Kitty?
16051What would she do?
16051What''s happened?
16051What''s on your mind tonight?"
16051What''s th''matter?"
16051What''s the matter with that word?
16051What''s the matter?
16051What''s the matter?
16051What''s the odds?
16051What''s the trouble this morning?"
16051What''s the use of giving checks to hospitals and asylums and colleges, when you do n''t know whether the cash goes right or wrong?
16051What, enter a carriage in a fog, steal a necklace, and carry it around with him for months?
16051What?
16051When do you go back?"
16051Where had he been picked up?
16051Where had she heard that voice before?
16051Where to?"
16051Where would it all end?
16051Where''s Jameson?"
16051Where''s there an apothecary''s shop?"
16051Whither should he turn?
16051Who did this?
16051Who had passed her in the upper hall?
16051Who is it?"
16051Who is it?"
16051Who was he?
16051Who was this potentate who dared desecrate the honored quiet of this loft?
16051Whoever heard of a haberdasher''s clerk reading_ Morte d''Arthur_ and writing sonnets?
16051Why had n''t he taken to his heels when he had had the chance?
16051Why had not fate left him in peace; if not satisfied with his lot, at least resigned?
16051Why had the man not returned the clothes to the trunk and shut it?
16051Why in the world should I marry a title?"
16051Why should Jameson say that he had seen sapphires if he had not?
16051Why that word?
16051Why the devil did you take up that monocle business?
16051Why was she always looking at him like that?
16051Why?
16051Will you be kind enough to let me have the use of the motor to the station?"
16051Will you be so kind as to give it to him?"
16051Would he ever return?
16051Would n''t you be watching and wondering what it was that made him your social superior?"
16051Would they never move on?
16051Would you like to read it?"
16051Yes, what did they say?
16051You are not afraid?"
16051You notice my fingers?
16051You''re on that case?"
16051Young man, what the devil''s this about?"
16051ca n''t a person be happy and smile?"
16051for everything you did for them?
16051in this fog?
16051suffer himself to be laughed at behind his back?
16051you do n''t suppose he had a hand in these other burglaries?"
18515''A man? 18515 ''Aunty of you?''
18515''Aunty of_ you_?'' 18515 ''Do you mean to tell me that a living creature with three eyes still inhabits the forests of Black Bayou?''
18515''She kill''um Three- eye?'' 18515 ''Where is them ellerphants?''
18515''Who?'' 18515 ''Why kill''um?''
18515''Why, Tiger- tail?'' 18515 ''You have killed a man who had_ three eyes_?''
18515''You say that for hundreds of years the Seminoles have hunted a creature with three eyes?'' 18515 ''_ Now?_''"''Sure!''
18515''_ Who?_''he inquired emphatically. 18515 A-- a_ minnow_--as big as a Pullman car?"
18515Afraid of Grue?
18515And he''s tearing up the carpet?
18515And how about that girl?
18515And on top of this outrage, am I to eat your cooking?
18515And what does she do then?
18515Angelica White?
18515Are they in motion?
18515Are we in any immediate danger, young man?
18515Are you certain that you have made no mistake? 18515 Are you crazy?"
18515Are you sure?
18515Are you the great Academician, Perfessor Smith?
18515Are you this here Perfessor Smith of the Department of Anthropology in the Bronx Park Zoölogical Society?
18515Believe_ me_ there''s enough in it to make it a financial coup, and I ask you, Prof, is n''t a financial coup respectable?
18515Boomly? 18515 But have you actually seen live creatures in the flames?"
18515But if her popular nature books did n''t ruin her scientifically, how can we hope to lead her astray?
18515But why has n''t she stopped our preparations?
18515Can you reconcile such a creature as we are starting out to hunt, with anything living known to science?
18515Circular?
18515Could n''t_ something_ be named after me?
18515Curiosity?
18515Darling,he said, in the imbecile voice of a man in love,"why do you tremble so when I am here to protect you?
18515Did I come here to look at this frog- pond and choke on your cooking? 18515 Did he tell you so?"
18515Did you ever see anything unusual in these forests?
18515Did you say''fat?''
18515Did you see that huge, glittering shape that seemed to fall into the water?
18515Do n''t you feel well?
18515Do they come any nearer?
18515Do you actually believe,I faltered,"that this unfortunate man has murdered Boomly?"
18515Do you admit that?
18515Do you hear what I say, guide? 18515 Do you mean, should we tell that accomplished and fascinating lady, Professor Bottomly, about this herd of mammoths?"
18515Do you realize what an astounding statement you are making?
18515Do you see anything?
18515Do you think it safe to leave Miss Grey alone in camp?
18515Do you think there is any danger?
18515Do_ you_ care, Miss Blythe?
18515Does she go with the lake or with the fish?
18515Doing what?
18515Enrages?
18515For heaven''s sake, why are you two perpetually squabbling?
18515For what?
18515From sharks?
18515Has_ she_ seen them?
18515Have you any Bimba leaves concealed about your person?
18515Have you met my husband?
18515How are we going to catch a minnow as large as a sleeping car?
18515How did you get a letter out of this distant and desolate place?
18515How did you make them talk? 18515 How do you know?"
18515How do you know?
18515How much, my confiding friend?
18515How near can we go?
18515How the devil did she come to say a thing like that?
18515How,he asked,"are we to arouse her curiosity?"
18515How?
18515I mean, which of us gets the first chance to win her?
18515If she wants all the glory herself why does she permit us to incur this expense in getting ready?
18515Is Oyster Bay_ too_ far and too cruel?
18515Is it a fish?
18515Is it a go?
18515Is it coming any nearer?
18515Is it not worth while for us to explore Black Bayou?
18515Is it possible that she is sufficiently degraded to suspect us of trying to put one over on her? 18515 Is n''t it queer,"I said,"that not a trout has splashed?
18515Is that all?
18515Is that true?
18515Is there a v- volcano under that lake?
18515It could n''t have been a f- f- fish, could it?
18515It is entirely, so to speak,_ per se_--by itself--"What the devil do you mean by that?
18515James Skaw,I said, tremulously,"where are those mammoths?"
18515Kitten,I said, my voice broken by emotion,"which will you have named after you, the lake or the fish?
18515Listen,I said, half strangled,"are you willing to wait for payment until I personally have verified the existence of these-- er-- creatures?"
18515Look like? 18515 M- ma''am?"
18515Now,I said,"what have you done with the poor victim of your fury?
18515Of course,said I with a sneer,"you have proofs to back your pleasant tale?"
18515Professor Kemper? 18515 Reaching up and biting you?"
18515Sample? 18515 See''em, old top?"
18515Sez she:''Are you James Skaw?'' 18515 Shall I telephone for the police?"
18515Shall we seat ourselves here in the sun?
18515Shed blood? 18515 Sir, do you know what it is to listen to umbrella argooment every day, all day long, from sun- up to night- fall?
18515Stayed under the_ water_?
18515Suppose,he shouted,"that those fish should begin to jump and feed on the bats again?"
18515That''s the question,he nodded with unimpaired cheerfulness,"_ what_ are you going to talk about on April_ the_ first?
18515There''s no use denying that we both have been bowled over by her; is there?
18515True?
18515W- wh- what do you mean?
18515W- what crime?
18515W- what is it?
18515W- what?
18515W- what?
18515W- where are those skulls?
18515W- where?
18515Was it an avalanche?
18515Was it-- moral-- to bring a waitress?
18515Well,he said,"what else are you intending to investigate?"
18515Well,said I,"_ what_ about her?"
18515Were you singing?
18515What about that old party whose name you said had already been given to the lake?
18515What are you doing?
18515What do they look like?
18515What do you desire of me?
18515What do you desire of me?
18515What do you mean?
18515What do you suppose I want of your ridiculous eggs? 18515 What do you think about it?"
18515What do you think they are?
18515What does it look like now?
18515What gentle thoughts are yours, Mildred?
18515What girl?
18515What has happened?
18515What have you done to Professor Boomly?
18515What have you done with him?
18515What is it?
18515What is this scientific information?
18515What is to be done?
18515What is your name?
18515What is_ he_ doing?
18515What on earth do you suppose those gigantic fish feed on?
18515What the devil are you doing?
18515What the devil do_ you_ want?
18515What time are you free, Mildred?
18515What was that awful noise? 18515 What''s the matter with you?"
18515What? 18515 What?"
18515What?
18515What?
18515What?
18515What?
18515When did she tell you_ that_?
18515When will that be?
18515When?
18515Where are these starving caterpillars?
18515Where did this come from?
18515Where have you been?
18515Where is the lead?
18515Where is the map?
18515Where is your old friend, Billy Boomly? 18515 Where?"
18515Which way do you usually go home?
18515Who are you?
18515Who did you say I wished on you?
18515Who? 18515 Who?"
18515Who?
18515Why are you trying to feed me? 18515 Why ca n''t they be named after_ me_?"
18515Why does she dress that way?
18515Why not, Mr. Smith? 18515 Why not?"
18515Why not?
18515Why not?
18515Why this unseemly apropos?
18515Why? 18515 Why?"
18515Why?
18515Why?
18515Why?
18515Why?
18515You are the great Mr. Percy Smith, Curator of the Anthropological Department, are you not?
18515You do n''t expect to see any cave people here, do you?
18515You do n''t mean_ my_ eyes, do you?
18515You lie very nicely, do n''t you?
18515You mean to say that you do n''t, somehow or other, manage to catch and kill birds?
18515You mean to say that you shed blood-- the blood of your old friend-- merely because he meddled with a miserable batch of butterfly''s eggs?
18515You propose to have me pay you for that map?
18515You took a photograph of one of these alleged cave- dwellers?
18515_ Here_?
18515_ What_ do you suppose that devious and secretive female is up to?
18515_ What_ is it-- if you think you know?
18515_ When_ did she tell you_ that_?
18515***** Is it necessary to proceed?
18515***** So what more is there for me to say?
18515A meteor?"
18515An earthquake?"
18515An''then some more?
18515And I was becoming frightened when the bloody bubbles and feathers began to come up--""_ What_ was he doing under water?"
18515And if we had hook, line, steam- winch, and everything else,_ what_ about bait?"
18515And what about a hook?
18515And what do you suppose happened?"
18515And what does_ that_ mean-- that pool of blood on the floor?
18515And will you forgive me for bringing you out here?"
18515Are the waters of the lakes in that locality sufficiently clear for a lady to do her hair by?
18515Are there any hotels?
18515Are you up in your lines?"
18515Are your films ready to record a scene without precedent in the scientific annals of creation?"
18515Barnum he would have went a million miles to see what I seen last Janooary down in the Coquina country--""Where is that?"
18515Batt?"
18515Blythe?"
18515Boomly flushed heavily:"Fat?"
18515But Smithy--""What?"
18515But it is useless to deny that you are the most extraordinary man I ever saw.... How soon can you take me to these Coquina hills?"
18515But it is_ my_ discovery--_my_ contribution to science, is n''t it?"
18515But who can say which is the best kind of anything?
18515Carnegie?"
18515Could Quint have dragged his victim here?
18515Did she happen to glance at_ you_ that way?"
18515Did you ever hear of a fish as big as a sleeping car?"
18515Do n''t go, Smith--""If I stay, may I marry Wilna?"
18515Do n''t you know how to cook?"
18515Do n''t you love and trust me?"
18515Do n''t you understand?
18515Do you know it, Smith?"
18515Do you know what he had done?"
18515Do you know?"
18515Do you mind moving?"
18515Do you see the flicker of fire under the vapour?"
18515Do you think I''d name such an important lake after_ her_?
18515Do you understand?
18515Do you?"
18515Do you?"
18515Get me?"
18515Get me?"
18515Get me?"
18515Get me?"
18515Has anybody been in there?"
18515Has_ he_ been in there?"
18515Have n''t I enough eggs of_ Heliconius salome_ hatching to give me the Carnegie medal if I want it?"
18515Have the trees been heaved up anywhere recently?"
18515Hey?
18515Hoon- hel are you?"
18515How the devil should I know?"
18515How was I going to tell Kemper?
18515I faltered,"what does yonder scene of presumable domesticity mean?"
18515I pondered deeply for a while:"Wilna?"
18515I said to her:"When at home, I suppose your mother tucks you in; does n''t she?"
18515I said:"Have you any particular reason for disliking him?"
18515I shouted with all my might,"have_ you_ put one over on me, too?"
18515I stopped laughing:"Do you mean that I am to go there and investigate before I pay you for this information?"
18515I thought deeply for a few moments, then:"Who is''Billy?''"
18515I''ll go back immediately--""Why not take me, also?"
18515I''ve seen them peep out of the fire and scurry back into it...._ Now_ are you sorry that I wrote you to come?
18515If there are hotels, is there also running water to be had?
18515Is he just plain crazy or does he think he can be funny with me?"
18515Is it too much like crime?"
18515Is it, Mil-- Miss Case?"
18515Is it?"
18515Is it_ really_ an emerald?"
18515Is that right?"
18515Is that what she is now doing to us?"
18515It could n''t have been alive, could it?"
18515It iss aber besser one over on dat lady to put, yess?"
18515Kemper said to me:"Why on earth did you bring a waitress?"
18515Man to man I ask you?"
18515Me without no eddycation, only brains?
18515Might I not, legitimately, have expected the Carnegie Educational Medal for all this?
18515Minorcan?"
18515Mrs. Batt?
18515Now, how about it, friend?
18515Now_ what_ is woman''s besetting emotion?"
18515Or is this revelry?"
18515Ought we to notify our honoured and respected Chief of Division concerning this discovery?"
18515Presently he said:"Why does Miss Grey go?"
18515Say, there ought to be a wad of the joyful in it for us both--""What?"
18515Seven crops o''strawberries every winter in Gawd''s own country-- get me?"
18515Shall I?"
18515Shall it be Lake Kitten Brown, or shall it be_ Minnius kittenii_?
18515She bent forward, lowering her voice a trifle:"Have you noticed,"she asked,"that so many things seem to be_ circular_ out here?"
18515She turned in surprise:"Why am I going?
18515Smith?"
18515Swallowing my repulsion for him I said:"Why are you concerned as to what may be the subject of my approaching address?"
18515The cold voice of Mrs. Doolittle Batt checked my transports:"Is that puddle named after me?"
18515The question remains, do I get mine?"
18515Then he said:"What are you looking for in Black Bayou?"
18515Then:"What is it you''re here for, anyway?"
18515Was n''t there a wop named Pizarro or somethin''what got lost down in Florida?
18515Was she too lazy to rob us of the secretly contemplated glory which we had pretended awaited us?
18515Was that gratitood?
18515Was this formidable woman actually intending to let us depart alone for the Golden Glacier?
18515What about it?
18515What about it?"
18515What about it?"
18515What are the summer outdoor amusements?
18515What are you following me about for, anyway?
18515What are you goin''to say?
18515What are you going to tell her?"
18515What can I do for you, my good man?"
18515What do I care whether it astounds you or anybody else?
18515What do you suppose is the matter with him?
18515What if I did?
18515What is he?
18515What is the name of the first lake we may hope to encounter?"
18515What is to be done?"
18515What more splendid sarcophagus could the ladies of the lake desire than these huge, silvery, itinerant and living tombs?
18515What of it?
18515What reward more sumptuous could anybody wish for than to rest at last within the interior dimness of an absolutely new species of anything?
18515What sample?"
18515What was he saying?
18515What was it?
18515What you aimin''to say to make those guys set up?
18515What''s happening?
18515What''s that to you?
18515What''s the matter with you?"
18515What''s the use of up- stagin''?
18515Whatnhel have I done to you, hey?"
18515Where I''m sitting?"
18515Where is all that remains of Professor Boomly?"
18515Where is he, Quint?
18515Where is he?
18515Where the devil had he gone?
18515Where?''
18515Which is going some, you say?
18515Who are you?
18515Whose is it?"
18515Why ca n''t you make up?"
18515Why do n''t you go in to lunch?
18515Why do you try to catch and kill birds?"
18515Why should I go on?
18515Why you''re fixin''to make the holler of your life, ai n''t you?
18515Why, if it resembles a minnow in size at this distance-- what can be its actual dimensions?"
18515Why?
18515Will you speak to Professor Farrago?"
18515Would you mind getting out?"
18515You can read, ca n''t you?
18515You know it, do n''t you?"
18515You know the Black Bayou forests, do n''t you?"
18515You saw those bats flying over the pond last night, did n''t you?
18515You wanta take a slant at it?"
18515[ Illustration:"''Which way do you usually go home?''
18515_ Did_ I?"
18515_ Plenty!_ What of it?
18515_ Should_ we burst into hellish laughter?
18515_ Suum quemque scelus agitat._ Do you get me, Professor?
18515_ What_ are you going to talk about?"
18515_ With three eyes?_''"''Sure.''"
18515burst out Boomly, his face suffused with passion,"Are you insinuating that I have any designs on your batch of eggs?"
18515shrieked Blythe""''Which way do you usually go home?''
15695A dog?
15695Afraid I did n''t care?
15695Afraid of what, dear?
15695And you did n''t meet her? 15695 And you do n''t know why?
15695Are n''t you going to change the horse?
15695Are n''t you going to try to find him?
15695Are they ready, Aaron?
15695Are you going out, you and Doctor Elliot, Uncle Tom?
15695Are you hurt? 15695 Are you hurt?
15695Are you ill?
15695But what am I? 15695 But, Mrs. Slocum,"he said,"what on earth do you want with men''s clothes?
15695Can I rely upon you?
15695Clemency--"What?
15695Come into my office, will you?
15695Comes off?
15695Could n''t it possibly have happened that two sisters of Doctor Gordon''s married two brothers?
15695Could she have stopped anywhere, dear?
15695Could that poor little girl help it?
15695Did he?
15695Did it ever occur to you that disease was the devil?
15695Did n''t I tell you that I would not say whether it was or not? 15695 Did you ever know me to go from one to another in such a way?"
15695Did you never hear of two brothers marrying two sisters, dear?
15695Did you?
15695Do n''t I know?
15695Do n''t you feel well, Doc?
15695Do n''t you, honest? 15695 Do n''t you?"
15695Do you care anything about-- me?
15695Do you object to this woman''s having the trunk?
15695Do you think I did right?
15695Do you think I''m the man to bear insults?
15695Do you think it is?
15695Do you think you can manage it?
15695Does Mrs. Ewing like dogs?
15695Does he seem to be very ill?
15695Does she know?
15695Does that place on your cheek burn?
15695Doing? 15695 Dressed in brown?"
15695Emma, why do you not set the table properly?
15695For Heaven''s sake, why do n''t you eat your dinner, Clara?
15695For goodness''sake, if you do n''t know yet where she has went, why do n''t you do somethin''?
15695For heaven''s sake, ca n''t you go up, doctor?
15695For that reason?
15695Goin''to get even for that white horse?
15695Good- looking?
15695Got the others?
15695Got''em?
15695Has Clemency been in to see her?
15695Has Doctor Gordon gone out?
15695Has n''t he? 15695 Have you any pain?"
15695Have you been waiting for us, Elliot?
15695Have you gone to bed, Clara?
15695Have you got any more of those Baldwin apples to sell?
15695Have you got to go away again?
15695Have you seen this?
15695Have you told Clemency?
15695He did n''t bite you?
15695He has n''t married again?
15695He is n''t going to die?
15695He is not going to die of it?
15695He was n''t with you?
15695He''s breakin''his heart, that''s what he''s doin'',said Georgie K."Ca n''t you get him to go away for a change or somethin''?"
15695How did I look?
15695How did she seem?
15695How did the man look?
15695How did you get him off?
15695How do you feel?
15695How do you know I am morbid? 15695 How do you know?"
15695How does it happen her name is Ewing?
15695How far back was it?
15695How is he?
15695How is she?
15695How is she?
15695How is she?
15695How is she?
15695How?
15695I see no reason,James replied hastily,"only--""Only what, for God''s sake?"
15695I suppose you are Doctor Gordon''s assistant?
15695I suppose you have calls for miles around?
15695I trust there is no question of crime?
15695I wonder if I look in the least like my own mother?
15695I? 15695 If I tell you, will you keep my secret?"
15695If what?
15695Ill? 15695 Is Uncle Tom home yet?
15695Is n''t it queer? 15695 Is she asleep now?"
15695Is that man very much hurt?
15695Is that what you make of it?
15695Is that you, Elliot?
15695Is that you, dear?
15695Is there any one in the parlor?
15695Is-- the pain very bad?
15695Leave here?
15695Mind, how much do you suppose the poor, tortured thing has to bring to bear upon this? 15695 More than well dressed, richly, a fur- lined coat--""Tall?"
15695Mrs. Ewing has gone to bed?
15695Mrs. Ewing is not well, is she?
15695My real name?
15695Never felt better, did n''t I just say so? 15695 Not for such a purpose?"
15695Not very?
15695Nothing?
15695Now, see here, Doctor Gordon, ca n''t I be of some assistance if you were to tell me?
15695Oh, Aaron, what is the matter?
15695Oh, Tom, what is it?
15695Oh, Tom,she murmured,"why did n''t you tell me?"
15695Oh, Uncle Tom, he is n''t killed, is he?
15695Oh, Uncle Tom, who was she, and why did she lock me up?
15695Oh, darling,the little voice was saying,"oh, darling, are you much hurt?
15695Oh, what has happened? 15695 Oh, what is it?
15695Oh, will you do that?
15695Oh,she said,"do you think it could have been that man?"
15695Patients?
15695S''pose you''ll want this filled?
15695See here, John,he said,"you ai n''t going to see me done this way, be you?
15695She has not come?
15695She has not had another attack?
15695She said,''Whom could I have seen, Uncle Tom? 15695 She was not there?"
15695Some news this mornin''?
15695Somebody wanted the doc?
15695Suppose she will not come with me?
15695Sure you are well, Doc?
15695That is, that all these infernal microbes that burrow in the human system to its disease and death, were his veritable imps at work?
15695That was why he did n''t want to take the bridle off?
15695Then why do you look so?
15695Then you are Doctor Elliot?
15695To Doctor Gordon''s?
15695Trouble? 15695 Wait?
15695Was he well dressed?
15695Was it the dog?
15695Was it-- that man?
15695Was she quiet?
15695Was that it?
15695Was that it?
15695Well, what if you are? 15695 Well, what is that you want to know, dear?"
15695Well, what of it?
15695Well,she said doubtfully,"if you can, but--""But what?"
15695Well?
15695What about the girl?
15695What ails him?
15695What are you doing?
15695What are you going to do?
15695What be you goin''with him again for then?
15695What did she say to that?
15695What do you mean, Clemency?
15695What do you mean?
15695What do you mean?
15695What do you take me for? 15695 What do you think my life would be without you?"
15695What do you think the matter is?
15695What do you think, Tom,said she,"has come over Clemency?
15695What do you think?
15695What do you want?
15695What else, for Heaven''s sake?
15695What has happened? 15695 What has the girl to fear now?"
15695What if I ca n''t?
15695What in thunder are you mad about?
15695What is it?
15695What is my name?
15695What is the man''s name?
15695What is the matter, Clemency? 15695 What is the matter, Elliot?"
15695What is the matter?
15695What is the matter?
15695What is twenty- five miles?
15695What makes you think so?
15695What of it?
15695What of that? 15695 What on earth did you do it for, Doc?"
15695What on earth is that?
15695What possible difference do you think that could make?
15695What the devil?
15695What was the girl like?
15695What was the matter with him?
15695What''ll you take?
15695What''s the man''s name?
15695What''s the matter, Doc?
15695What''s the matter?
15695What''s up?
15695What, dear?
15695What?
15695What?
15695What?
15695When is the funeral goin''to be?
15695When will you tell me?
15695When?
15695Where do you work yourself?
15695Where do you work?
15695Where has my boarder went? 15695 Where have they taken him?"
15695Where have you been, Clemency?
15695Where is there a glass?
15695Which do you prefer of the two methods of treating the disease-- that is, of the two primary ones? 15695 Who am I?"
15695Who am I?
15695Who are you? 15695 Who is in there?"
15695Who was he, dear?
15695Who was he?
15695Who was the man?
15695Who?
15695Why ca n''t you tell me then?
15695Why did he hunt me so?
15695Why did n''t he say she was his housekeeper?
15695Why not let me take her out sometimes of an evening then?
15695Why not, darling?
15695Why not?
15695Why not?
15695Why should he die?
15695Why, what for?
15695Why, what is it?
15695Why, where is Clemency?
15695Why?
15695Why?
15695Why?
15695Why?
15695Why?
15695Will you have a pipe or a cigar?
15695Will you promise to tell me?
15695Will you?
15695Wo n''t you ever tell me?
15695Wo n''t you then?
15695Yes, dear; why?
15695Yes,he replied;"you mean about Doctor Gordon?"
15695You absolutely know of no reason?
15695You ai n''t one?
15695You are not ill?
15695You are not ill?
15695You are tempting the gods?
15695You did n''t come by train?
15695You do n''t fear her returning?
15695You do n''t mean to say you are goin''to hev him?
15695You do n''t think he will come back?
15695You have no doubt at all?
15695You have no hope, then?
15695You mean does Clemency know I am ill?
15695You mean if my other boarders went, and the room had to be done over, he ai n''t got money enough to make it good?
15695You mean you will have to keep that poor little thing shut up the way you have been doing?
15695You mean?
15695You say it''s ketching?
15695You think he ai n''t?
15695You will be careful, wo n''t you, with your revolver, with that dog jumping about?
15695You wo n''t tell him why?
15695You? 15695 Aaron shifted his quid, and said with emphasis,Want me to hitch up and bring that little red- haired cuss back?"
15695Ai n''t you, Mame?"
15695And, moreover, what of James and Clemency?
15695Are you dreadfully hurt?
15695Are you?
15695At two, you said?
15695But who can say that death would not have been better for both you and me than life, and even misery for Clemency had that man lived?
15695But you would n''t like to live in boxes, would you?
15695By the way, Elliot, have you guessed who that woman was who kidnapped Clemency?"
15695Ca n''t you hear me, dear?
15695Can that girl help the longings for her rights, her longings which are abnormally acute because of her over- fine nervous system?
15695Clemency, Emma, what has happened?"
15695Did it ever occur to you that God made up to mankind for the horrors of creation, by stating that there would be an end to it some day?
15695Did n''t she say anything to you about it?"
15695Did you come on foot?"
15695Did you ever think that the desire of distinction was one of the most, perhaps the most, intense purely spiritual emotion of the human soul?
15695Did you notice how much less evil he looked when he was dead, even with that frightfully disfigured face?"
15695Did you walk over, Joe?"
15695Do n''t I know Clemency?"
15695Do you know where my revolver is?"
15695Do you prefer the leaches, the nitrate of silver, the low diet, or the reverse?"
15695Do you think mother is very well?"
15695Does it hurt much?
15695Emma, is luncheon ready?"
15695Finally, she said, as if she were afraid to hear her own voice,''Has any accident happened near here lately that you have heard of?''
15695Has Uncle Tom taken him away?"
15695Has n''t he told you?"
15695Has n''t she come home yet?"
15695Have you got a lantern in the stable?"
15695He listened, and did hear quite distinctly an exceedingly soft little voice, which might have been the voice of shadows--"Is that you?"
15695He''s as good as you, is n''t he?
15695How about your mother?"
15695How is the baby getting along?"
15695How?"
15695I dare say there was no danger this time, only he came up behind like a cat, and--""He did n''t say anything?"
15695I do n''t talk scared now, do I?"
15695I do n''t think there ever was a woman so beautiful as she, do you?"
15695I heard her say something about sendin''a boy to her daughter, and when I went into the bedroom, she glared at me, and said,''You?''"
15695I suppose you have n''t got that through your head yet?"
15695I suppose you know there is not much money in it?"
15695I wish he did not, but will you keep your knowledge from him?"
15695If a girl like that has to exist anyway, why can not she be born under different circumstances?
15695If she were lying dead or injured on the road, how in the world was he to see?
15695If we were out driving, and he came up to the horse''s head, what could we do?"
15695In such a case, what of the woman upstairs?
15695Is he going to die?
15695Is he hurt much?"
15695Now, tell me honest, dear, did n''t Uncle Tom ever tell you that that man was in love with my mother before I was born?"
15695Oh, the horror in this world, and what am I to set myself to right it?
15695Oh, what is it all about?"
15695Oh, what is the matter?
15695Only you wo n''t look so any more, will you, dear?"
15695Should a monster, something abnormal in strength and subtlety and wickedness, something which menaced all the good in the world, be allowed to exist?
15695Should any power for evil be allowed to exist upon the earth if mortal man had strength to stamp it out?
15695Slocum?"
15695So you do n''t know anything about it?"
15695So you think it is indigestion?
15695Supposing that Clemency were lying half- dead anywhere near the road, how was she to know that a friend was near?
15695That was stout, it was true, but could he be quick enough with it?
15695Then he drew rein with a sudden,"Halloo, what is wrong?"
15695Then he said again,"What''s up?"
15695Then he threw open the outer door and called,"Anybody there?"
15695There had been no quarrel?"
15695Was it right?"
15695Was poor mother worried?"
15695Were any bones broken?"
15695What be you goin''to do at Doc Gordon''s?"
15695What can I do, young man, but stick to it whether I like it or not?
15695What do you think has happened?"
15695What do you think of him?"
15695What does Uncle Tom make me stay in the house so for?"
15695What good can it do?
15695What has happened, darling?"
15695What has happened?"
15695What has happened?"
15695What is the matter?"
15695What is the need of bothering about marriage anyway?
15695What shall I tell her, Doctor Elliot?"
15695What shall I tell her?
15695What trouble?"
15695What was any spoiled, sweet young girl to that?
15695What will come next?
15695What would they do?
15695What, Elliot, are you hurt, boy?
15695When she and James had started, and were moving swiftly along the country road, she said suddenly,"Will you tell me something?"
15695Where are you bound?"
15695Where are you going?"
15695Where has my boarder went?"
15695Who can tell but I have deprived her of untold joys which would have compensated a thousand times for those pains by shortening them?"
15695Who ever saw a very old woman sitting on her very old husband''s knee?
15695Who is any man to take whip or spur to the decrees of the Almighty, to hasten them?"
15695Who is it?"
15695Who is that man out there, and what ails him, and what ails the dog?
15695Who is to say that I was right even about that?
15695Who said there was anything?
15695Who''s goin''to pay for that?"
15695Who''s going to pay for that?"
15695Why on earth should you think he would die?"
15695Why should n''t he?
15695Why the devil did you walk?"
15695Why?"
15695Would you now?"
15695You are Doctor Gordon, I suppose?"
15695You are not going to tell him I said anything about it?"
15695You are sure you are not hurt?"
15695You can tell me that much?"
15695You do feel better, do n''t you?
15695You have been brought up to believe that the devil''s particular residence was hell, have n''t you?"
15695You have n''t got your medicine- case with you, have you?"
15695You know just how he looks?"
15695You wo n''t lie, will you?"
15695[ Illustration:"You do n''t think he will come back?"
15695asked Gordon, then before she had time to reply, he added almost roughly,"What on earth are you fretting about?"
15695said Aaron,"that you Doctor Gordon?"
22808''Do n''t you mean to do something for him?'' 22808 ''Had you not better throw the water yourself?''
22808''Then he did remember?'' 22808 ''We are going to leave this house?''
22808''What does he mean?'' 22808 And how came she in here?"
22808Did Mrs. Latimer tell you?
22808How came you to know?
22808Then you did not see the woman who died in those rooms?
22808Was n''t it at the left of the large folding doors and midway to the wall?
22808What woman, Lydia? 22808 Who was that woman?"
22808You remember the vision I had the morning when I was sick?
22808''But I can trust you not to tell him?''
22808''Is he spending all this time ransacking the rooms?
22808''Where did you get it?''
22808''Would it interest you to know which half?''
22808''Yet if I had had a dollar more or even a ring worth a dollar or so I might have---- Theresa, have you any money at all?
22808''You will not charge yourself with such a responsibility?''
22808But could I prove it?
22808But where?
22808By Anna Katharine Green( Mrs. Charles Rohlfs) Copyright, 1899, by Earle H. Eaton WAS it a specter?
22808Could I have dreamed all that?"
22808Could she have glided in by me unperceived and thus have found her way into the bedroom from which I afterward saw her issue?
22808Could the seemingly impossible be made possible and the unexplainable receive a solution satisfying to a rational mind?
22808Did n''t you see her?
22808Did you think there was a woman in this room?"
22808Do you think I am sick enough to imagine things?"
22808Had I seen such a woman?
22808Had she slipped by me in coming in as she had on going out?
22808Had we been alike the victims of a spiritual manifestation?
22808He followed close behind me, for how could he know I was not in collusion with her to regain the bond?
22808I do n''t think he meant no good here--''"''Did she drop here in the hall?''
22808Is he at home?''
22808Shall I assist you to put them on?
22808Then he forgot me utterly again, and facing his wife, growled out:"''Where are you going to get breakfast then?
22808Through the bedroom door then?
22808Would I go down to her?
22808You recall the amount, no doubt?''
22808where?
19929Ah, you will?
19929All right; what will you have?
19929All through me?
19929Am I now?
19929Am I sure? 19929 And I have your promise that under no circumstances is my brother to be arrested?"
19929And get the evidence?
19929And he is associated with this gang of criminals?
19929And learn if they follow?
19929And my brother?
19929And she sent you to me?
19929And that man?
19929And the woman?
19929And then?
19929And then?
19929And these men go to your home?
19929And we''ll bet on the races?
19929And we''ll lure them as they swim, eh?
19929And what do you want me to do?
19929And what is that?
19929And what is their plan?
19929And what license had you to attempt to play such a broad joke on me?
19929And what now, woman?
19929And what was your conclusion?
19929And where are all the documents?
19929And why did you not tell me about this before?
19929And yet you feel that you can trust me?
19929And you are to prove it?
19929And you did see the lovely lady who was talking to me?
19929And you have no clues as to the identity of these people?
19929And you understand that I mean what I say?
19929And you wish to betray these men?
19929And you wo n''t forget me?
19929And you''ve never seen her?
19929Answer; do you know that man well?
19929Are the plates in this house?
19929Are the women shoving the queer?
19929Are you dead certain that man Woodford Dunne is not in this club to shadow_ you_?
19929Are you into this affair?
19929Are you sure he is not fooling you?
19929Are you sure?
19929Are you sure?
19929Are you sure?
19929Betrayed?
19929But he knows you hold his life as it were in your hands, and----"Well?
19929But how did he get on to us at all?
19929But these detectives?
19929But who are they?
19929By whom?
19929Cad, what do you mean?
19929Can I hope that you will save my brother under any circumstances, and share the reward with me? 19929 Can I hope?"
19929Can I hope?
19929Can we not arrange signals between us?
19929Can you give me a hint where to look for them? 19929 Can you meet me to- night?"
19929Can you not come to my home to- morrow?
19929Can you not secure the information from him?
19929Can you promise?
19929Certainly, you will meet her, but when you do will you know her game? 19929 Come, come, miss, do you hear what he says?
19929Counterfeiters, Tom?
19929Did you hear her strange tale?
19929Did you mark her beautiful, innocent face?
19929Did you see her, Cad?
19929Did you? 19929 Do I?"
19929Do they know you are acquainted with the purpose of their visits?
19929Do you admit the charges?
19929Do you call that man your guest?
19929Do you know any of the parties in it?
19929Do you know him well?
19929Do you know, or rather would you suspect, that he was a poor orphan, and the architect of his own great fortune?
19929Do you want to know?
19929Go on,said Oscar,"what will you be doing?"
19929Go with you?
19929Have they a workshop here?
19929Have you information?
19929He has revealed everything to you?
19929He is not a criminal?
19929He never works at your home?
19929Her innocent face?
19929Here in New York?
19929Here, my good fellow, I''d like to know what_ you_ mean?
19929Hope in what manner?
19929How did they get on to you?
19929How did you learn the fact?
19929How do you intend to proceed?
19929How do you know he was listening at Wadleigh''s keyhole?
19929How do you know?
19929How is that?
19929How is that?
19929How long have you known him as a member?
19929How many agents are there?
19929How much?
19929How will we do it?
19929How will we make up?
19929How will we manage it?
19929How will you demonstrate that?
19929How will you do it?
19929How will you prove it?
19929How?
19929How?
19929How?
19929How?
19929How?
19929How?
19929I am to go to your house?
19929I am, eh?
19929I am?
19929I did?
19929I have been playing you?
19929I have your confidence?
19929I think we can; but how shall we start in?
19929I will?
19929I''ll never tell you, but it was the gal gave me my rap and she came down on me with the force of a Goliah, and I went down-- see? 19929 If not you, whom can I trust?"
19929In what capacity?
19929In what direction?
19929In what line are they working?
19929Is advice all you need?
19929Is it a joke to go to jail?
19929Is it your desire to obtain the reward, or is it your main purpose to save your brother?
19929Is it, indeed? 19929 Is it?"
19929Is that so?
19929It is your brother you wish to save?
19929Maybe they think it is a great joke to try and scare us, but we do n''t scare; do we, my dear?
19929Miss Lamb sent you to me?
19929Oh, is she?
19929Oh, what shall I do?
19929Oh, you have n''t?
19929Oh, you have?
19929Oh, you intend to get out of it that way, eh? 19929 On what ground?"
19929On what?
19929Say, young fellow, will you hand over the swag?
19929So you''ll thrash us, eh?
19929Some one told you that?
19929That is his advantage, but where does ours come in?
19929That is what I intended to do, but what was their purpose?
19929That man is now known as Redalli, eh?
19929That''s all right so far; but is it necessary that I tumble from anything you may pick up to- night?
19929The woman and how many men?
19929Then how can I locate them?
19929Then it''s a bet?
19929Then this was all a joke?
19929Then you ca n''t locate anything?
19929Then you fully understand?
19929They are?
19929They do?
19929They need never know that I keeled''em over?
19929Tired of what?
19929Under any circumstances you will not use the information against my brother if I only partially explain to you?
19929Under any cover?
19929Under what disguise were you?
19929Upon what?
19929Very soon?
19929Very well, Miss Van Zant, when am I to meet your brother?
19929We understand then?
19929We will dispose of him; but what have you gentlemen been doing? 19929 We will meet near here?"
19929We will suppose I am the man you seek; what is your business?
19929We''ll nip her, eh?
19929Well, well, is that so?
19929Well, why not at my rooms? 19929 Well?"
19929Well?
19929Well?
19929What are you on to?
19929What are your relations to the individual who is a criminal and whom you desire exempted from the consequences of his acts?
19929What business?
19929What did you mean?
19929What do you consider the proper conditions?
19929What do you know about this man?
19929What do you mean, Cad?
19929What do you mean? 19929 What do you want?"
19929What do you wish me to promise?
19929What have you got to say about it anyhow?
19929What have you learned?
19929What have you made out, Oscar?
19929What is it you''re after?
19929What is it?
19929What is the condition?
19929What lead have we?
19929What matter have you in hand?
19929What points have you?
19929What shall we do?
19929What shall we do?
19929What was I going to say?
19929What was it we struck?
19929What will I do about it?
19929What will you do about it?
19929What will you do otherwise?
19929What wo n''t do?
19929What''s your pull to- night?
19929When are you to meet these people?
19929When will you start in?
19929When?
19929When?
19929Where are the plates?
19929Where are they?
19929Where can we go?
19929Where do you reside?
19929Where is that house located?
19929Where on earth did you see my portrait?
19929Where shall I meet you to- night?
19929Where shall we chum?
19929Where shall we go?
19929Where shall we go?
19929Where will the distribution be made?
19929Where will we meet?
19929Where will you go?
19929Where''s your pile?
19929Where?
19929Where?
19929Where?
19929Who are they?
19929Who introduced him to you?
19929Who is he?
19929Who says so?
19929Who sent you to me?
19929Who will act as this fellow''s second?
19929Who will fight him?
19929Why are you so secret about it? 19929 Why do you not cause your brother to withdraw from these criminals?"
19929Why do you say so?
19929Why must I fight you?
19929Why not?
19929Why should I introduce them to you?
19929Why?
19929Why?
19929Why?
19929Will it?
19929Will you accept me?
19929Will you accompany me?
19929Will you go with us?
19929Will you have your cigar?
19929Will you introduce them to me?
19929Within forty- eight hours?
19929You are a friend of Miss Lamb?
19929You are dead on to it all?
19929You are sure, Cad?
19929You denounce him?
19929You desire my services?
19929You did?
19929You do n''t know him well?
19929You do n''t, eh?
19929You do not seek privacy?
19929You do?
19929You feel assured of that?
19929You have never beheld my face before?
19929You have no other motive?
19929You have no photographs?
19929You have seen Wadleigh?
19929You have the case in hand?
19929You have?
19929You know me?
19929You know them all?
19929You men dare to threaten me?
19929You met him to- night?
19929You never have?
19929You saw that lovely girl?
19929You say there are women in with the gang?
19929You think so?
19929You think you would have recognized her?
19929You want it straight?
19929You were looking at my portrait only yesterday?
19929You were the messenger boy?
19929You will entertain the proposition to save him and divide with me?
19929You will?
19929You will?''
19929You would n''t do that, would you?
19929You would?
19929You''ll bet she is a beauty?
19929You''ve got him?
19929Your brother knows where the plates are concealed?
19929Again Oscar stared, but seeing the glitter in Cad''s eyes he fell to a conclusion and asked:"Is my beautiful partner jealous?"
19929Again the woman''s eyes glittered as she asked:"How did they learn about me?"
19929Are you a gentleman?"
19929But who is with you in securing this great chance?"
19929But who were the other two men, and why had they directed attention toward him?
19929Ca n''t we go somewhere and have a jolly little game of draw?"
19929Cad, can it be possible?"
19929Did I say met?
19929Did you ever hear anything like it?
19929Do you hear?"
19929Do you know how they have measured us?"
19929Girard here spoke up and demanded:"Who are you?
19929He appeared for an instant to lose his breath, but he managed to almost gasp:"Are you on to that?"
19929He knew that their purpose was a dire one, and the only question was, how would they work out their plan?
19929He''ll treat; yes, we''ll dine with him without an invitation-- see?"
19929How dare you enter my house uninvited and unannounced?"
19929How is that?"
19929How much did he learn from that fellow?"
19929How will we start in?"
19929I had a good, comfortable home, and now where am I?
19929I will learn just who is working in with him, and then----""What then?"
19929In Chapter VIII, an extraneous period has been removed from the sentence"And what was your conclusion?."
19929Is he not on your shadow?
19929Is it luck or Dunne?"
19929My thoughts are wool- gathering, and no wonder, eh?
19929Now who are you?"
19929One of the men he recognized at a glance and he muttered:"Can it be possible?"
19929Oscar did not flinch, but asked:"Do you intend to murder me?"
19929Oscar laughed and asked:"Do you wish me to fight the whole gang?"
19929Oscar was only sparring for time; he was measuring the woman, and he had not gotten on to her purpose when he said:"Where do you wish me to go?"
19929Our hero smiled and said:"Shall I select the place where we shall go?"
19929Peel out the stuff and we''ll let you off; wo n''t we, comrades?"
19929She was veiled and she asked:"Is this Mr. Oscar Dunne?"
19929She''ll nip the sparkles and the watch, and then, my covies, what will we do?"
19929So you never saw me before?
19929That is, can you give me any starter at all?"
19929Thatford, will you act as the fellow''s second?"
19929The boy laughed, said"thank you,"and walked away, and Dunne said:"You have never seen Cad Metti?"
19929The detective was taken a little aback, but answered:"May I inquire why you ask?"
19929The man who had asked"Who is he?"
19929The woman asked:"Have they arrived?"
19929They have certainly gone carefully about it and have made great preparations to do me; but how do they intend to do it?"
19929This was a bold accusation, and all the men glared at our hero, and finally Girard said:"Dunne, what have you got to say for yourself?
19929Was it not more?
19929Was it possible that Credo was putting up a job to do away with the man who held him in his power?
19929Well, he is a- puttin''on lugs, ai n''t he?
19929What do you say, Dunne?"
19929What is the job?"
19929What is your conclusion?"
19929What is your name?"
19929What is yours?"
19929What shall we do with him?"
19929When the door was opened our hero hesitated and the woman asked:"What is the matter?"
19929When will Redalli return?"
19929Where shall we start in?"
19929Who was right, eh?"
19929Why did you not dispose of him?"
19929Why do n''t you open up?"
19929Why, you rat, do you think I do not recognize you?"
19929Will you indicate the character of the disclosure you have to make?"
19929You ai n''t a- going to let me lose my bet?"
19929You were not aware that I was on to this arrangement?"
19929ai n''t that cool of him?
19929and now what shall I do?"
19929ejaculated Oscar,"are you sure, Cad?"
19929he ejaculated,"who was looking for this?
19929how am I for a prophet?
19929what did I say?
19929what does this mean?"
19929what''s that?"
20559''A note to you?'' 20559 ''Am I?''
20559''And how do you know that she is the person from whom that note really came?'' 20559 ''But there''s just as good prisons here, ai n''t there, governor?''
20559''Could n''t you put me in there, governor?'' 20559 ''How did you know?''
20559''How should you know me?'' 20559 ''I, your majesty?''
20559''Service?'' 20559 ''She showed it to you, eh?''
20559''So that you conclude--?'' 20559 ''Well-- what do you propose to do?''
20559''Well?'' 20559 ''Why do n''t you get yourself arrested as a vagrant?''
20559''Will you let me take you by the hand, governor?'' 20559 After her?"
20559Also, what in thunder has Mrs. Wilbraham Ward- Smythe got to do with us, or we with her?
20559And Cato?
20559And I assume you will pay on acceptance?
20559And Mr. Raffles, my grandfather?
20559And Mrs. Burlingame-- didn''t she ask you how you ferreted the thing out?
20559And how shall you trace him?
20559And how the devil,demanded Grouch, angrily--"how the devil did you know I was Blank?"
20559And my thousand- dollar check to you?
20559And now what?
20559And now, Mr. Holmes, what will this service cost me?
20559And of course you claimed it?
20559And suppose the incriminating letter is not there?
20559And the stuff?
20559And the thief?
20559And then what?
20559And what does he want with you?
20559And where the dickens is my trunk?
20559And your paste jewels, where are they?
20559Are you alone?
20559Are you in danger?
20559Beauties, are n''t they?
20559Bribed the porter, I presume?
20559Bruce? 20559 But how did you know my butler was out?"
20559But how have you concealed the fact from them?
20559But how the dickens did you manage to put a crook like that on the grand- tier floor?
20559But how?
20559But how?
20559But she must have asked you who was the guilty person?
20559But suppose the police find it?
20559But the-- the other chap-- in the room there?
20559But what are you going to do with them?
20559But what good is it?
20559But where the dickens will you find two such stones? 20559 But you know where it is?"
20559Certainly-- that''s our headquarters, is n''t it?
20559Could you let me have them, say-- this afternoon?
20559Did I?
20559Did n''t he play square?
20559Did n''t you send a man to my house, Mr. Raffles, to break open my safe, and take certain specified parcels of negotiable property therefrom?
20559Did n''t your-- your man take it?
20559Do you happen to have in your set of my father''s adventures a portrait of Sherlock Holmes?
20559Done for?
20559Et tu, Brute?
20559Even if there is$ 7500 in it for you?
20559Found what?
20559Four hundred and seven, sir?
20559Four hundred and seven, sir?
20559From whom-- do you happen to know?
20559Great Heavens!--really?
20559Great Heavens, Holmes-- do you mean to say that Gaffany& Co. permit you to go about with things like this in your pocket?
20559Hand it over-- any charge?
20559Have we?
20559He is in, is he?
20559His hand? 20559 How did I get him there?
20559How do you know all this?
20559How else could I be sure of that$ 10,000 reward?
20559How would you like to take a bite, Jenkins? 20559 How''s this for business?"
20559I have your permission?
20559I sort of believe he''ll be as gentle as a lamb when he finds out what I know-- but, if he is n''t, well, do n''t I represent law and order?
20559I''m going to locate them definitely to- night, and to- morrow Mrs. Burlingame will find them--"Where?
20559I_ am_ so like him then?
20559If you knew what I was going to do you would n''t kick-- that is, unless you''ve turned crook too?
20559In Darlington''s rooms-- where else?
20559In four hundred and seven?
20559In what capacity shall you work, Raffles or Holmes?
20559Is he a real lord?
20559Is n''t that going to be a little dangerous?
20559Is n''t that pretty steep?
20559Is n''t the thing done?
20559It''s rather common talk in the clubs, so why should n''t I?
20559Just hang on to your nerve--"But suppose Darlington turns up?
20559Lord Baskingford?
20559Misfortune? 20559 My dear Mr. Grouch,"said Holmes,"how should I know anything about your$ 30,000?"
20559My employer?
20559My man? 20559 Not Isidore Robinstein, of Paris?"
20559Old Bruce, eh?
20559Payable by certified check?
20559Raffles Holmes?
20559Real?
20559Really?
20559Sandwich with it?
20559Snored?
20559Suppose he does come-- what then? 20559 That is if you are our friend and partner, Cato-- Darlington could n''t wait--""Could n''t wait?"
20559That''s the milk in the cocoanut, is it? 20559 The ice- water habit is evidence of a criminal nature, eh?"
20559The second thing?
20559Then the report that they are of such rarity of cut and lustre is untrue?
20559Then these,I said,"are-- are they paste?"
20559Then what have you done?
20559Then who in the name of Heaven did?
20559To what job do you refer?
20559To- morrow morning I shall send Mrs. Burlingame this message:_''Have you looked in your New York safe?_[ Signed] Raffles Holmes,''he continued.
20559Twenty- five thousand dollars? 20559 Two Glengarry special, a syphon of carbonic, and-- Jenkins, what''s yours?"
20559Up? 20559 Was that your work?"
20559We?
20559Well, General,said I to General Cox, a week later at the club,"heard anything further about your pepper- pots yet?"
20559Well, if you ca n''t stand_ your_ strain,said Raffles Holmes,"what do you think of mine?"
20559Well,he said,"what about it?"
20559Well,said I,"have you come to report progress?"
20559What are you doing?
20559What are you going to do now?
20559What are you going to do with the$ 35,000?
20559What are you going to do with this?
20559What can I do?
20559What can you do?
20559What concern have you with my royalties?
20559What do you suppose it''s all about?
20559What for, Jenkins?
20559What for?
20559What happened? 20559 What new game is this you are rigging on me?
20559What shall I do with your share of the$ 30,000, Jenkins?
20559What the devil is the adventure, anyhow?
20559What the dickens are you trying to do-- batter the house down?
20559What will be the end of this? 20559 What will you do first?"
20559What''s happened?
20559What''s that?
20559What''s the game?
20559What''s the good of having bankers like that back of you if you do n''t underscore their endorsement? 20559 What''s the matter, Holmes?"
20559What, this brass thing?
20559Where are you going to get the retired burglar?
20559Where is it?
20559Where the dickens did you get it?
20559Where to, sir?
20559Who can Cato be, I wonder?
20559Who else?
20559Who is she?
20559Who the devil are you?
20559Who was your host, General?
20559Who''s he?
20559Who''s that?
20559Why do n''t they send them directly here?
20559Why not yours?
20559Why not?
20559Why should that have kept you until eight?
20559Why waste breath saying self- evident things? 20559 Why, did n''t you tell us he had one of''em on his table?"
20559Why, our little transaction of Monday night-- or was it Tuesday morning?
20559Why-- what does this mean?
20559Will you?
20559Write to Bruce and tell him the facts?
20559Yes,said I,"but what is there suspicious about that?
20559Yes-- what? 20559 You and I have an arrangement, have we?
20559You do n''t expect me to keep these bonds, do you?
20559You do n''t suppose I''d let a third party into our secret, do you?
20559You expected me, then?
20559You got fourteen thousand, eh?
20559You have a clew?
20559You have found them, have you?
20559You know a man who, for a consideration and with a guarantee against prosecution, would break open my-- I mean Mr. Blank''s private vault?
20559You know me?
20559You think you can put me off this way, do you?
20559You want the whole business to be bona fide, do n''t you? 20559 You were at Green''s chop- house last night?"
20559You''ve heard of my father, Sherlock Holmes?
20559You-- Raffles?
20559You-- you know my errand, then?
20559You?
20559Young Wilbraham would be suspicious if the burglar got away with nothing but his property, would n''t he?
20559Your what?
20559''An innocent little maiden who collects autographs, and a retired missionary in possession of the Dorrington seal, eh?
20559''And something that were better said to me alone, I fancy, eh?''
20559''For a great many reasons I should prefer that it were not known that it was I--''"''You, your Majesty?''
20559''In what way?''
20559''Then the gentleman attacked was one of your Majesty''s friends?''
20559''You consider it a service to be landed in Reading gaol?''
20559----?"
20559All he''s along for is to write the thing up for--""The newspapers?"
20559Before I go, sir, may I ask how you knew me and by what principle of deduction you came to guess my business so accurately?"
20559Billington Rand?"
20559But what has set your mind to working on the Dick Turpin end of it anyhow?
20559By- the- way, what is the combination of the big safe in the outer office of the Kenesaw National?"
20559Come, what do you say?
20559Did Bruce give it up willingly?"
20559Do you know young Billington Rand?"
20559Do you think there is any chance of your recovering it for me?
20559Does your employer know that you have taken them?"
20559Have you got that stomacher?"
20559He does n''t know you, does he?"
20559He had no chance to reply, for at that moment Marjorie herself put her radiantly lovely little head in at the door with a''May I come in?''
20559He had seen it somewhere before, but where?
20559Holmes?"
20559Holmes?"
20559How did it come here?
20559How did those diamonds get there?"
20559How would you like to spend the week with me at the Garrymore?"
20559I said,"what does this mean?
20559I wonder what he is up to?
20559I wonder whose stuff he is after?"
20559In the water- cooler?"
20559Keep me in sight, and if I show the slightest inclination to give you the slip, knock me over the head, will you, for my own good?"
20559Maybe you''ll join me in a smoke?"
20559My reputation is saved, and--""Excuse me, Mr. Blank-- or Grouch-- er-- to what do you refer?"
20559Now whom of the 480 possibilities having access to the Burlingame cottage would we naturally suspect?
20559Raffles?''
20559Rand?"
20559Sommers?"
20559Suppose we run over to the Powhatan and discuss the matter calmly over a bottle of Glengarry?
20559That London flat job?"
20559That was a rather interesting tale of the General''s, was n''t it?"
20559Thinking of going in for that sort of thing yourself?"
20559Up where?"
20559Was you ever homesick, governor?''
20559What can I do for you this beastly hot night?"
20559What in thunder do you make out of it?"
20559What''s up?"
20559Where''s the stuff?"
20559Who are you?"
20559Who is Sir Henry Darlington of Dorsetshire, England?"
20559Who the devil said anything about Bruce?"
20559Why is it here?
20559Will I?
20559Will you do it?"
20559You do n''t dispute my facts, do you?"
20559You do n''t mind if I write a letter, do you?"
20559You''d have sworn I was in there just now, would n''t you?"
20559You''re after that pearl rope, are you, Raffles?"
20559You''re not going to hold him up, are you?"
20559_ Whom did you get to do the job?_""Who-- what-- what-- why, what do you mean, Mr.
20559what will to- morrow''s story be?
18965A letter which you wrote?
18965And I''m not permitted to see her to- night?
18965And Mr. Whitmore''s death leaves him in a sad predicament?
18965And before leaving, you had one of my men set upon and rendered helpless to follow?
18965And do n''t you care?
18965And do you still advise them to remain silent?
18965And except to get the fortune, what possible motive could Mrs. Collins or Ward have for seeking Whitmore''s death?
18965And have I been summoned here as a witness or as counsel to the accused?
18965And have you eliminated him?
18965And he has advised you to remain silent?
18965And how are we going to do it?
18965And if he refuse your condition?
18965And now what''s going to happen?
18965And plunge into the scandal of a divorce proceeding?
18965And that condition-- what is it?
18965And the chief sent you down here?
18965And then what?
18965And who are you, madam?
18965And who are you, sir?
18965And would you marry without letting her know that you are ruined?
18965And you are preparing a trap for his capture?
18965And you came to cheer me-- to tell me you believe in me?
18965And you''ve come to plead for him?
18965And your hearing-- is it good?
18965Anything more?
18965Anything of value in them?
18965Are you positive?
18965Are you prepared to substantiate that accusation with proof?
18965Are you the officer in charge of this investigation?
18965Are you trying to fool me? 18965 Because of what occurred just now?"
18965But how about the opportunity to kill?
18965But how did he get away?
18965But how-- how?
18965But if he did n''t know of the inheritance, is it likely that his sister knew?
18965But if they''re individually innocent, how can they be collectively guilty?
18965But man alive,broke in the chief,"what evidence have you?
18965But the loaded pistol on his desk-- how do you explain that?
18965But was he actuated by loyalty to Whitmore or did he have a sinister design of his own?
18965But what am I to do? 18965 But what does all this mean?"
18965But what has happened?
18965But when and where was the substitution made?
18965But where does the detective work come in?
18965But why-- why are you betraying him?
18965But why-- why should he do this?
18965But why?
18965But you did n''t succeed, did you? 18965 But you do n''t really believe it of this case?"
18965But you led her to believe you would?
18965But you mean to imply that you have a satisfactory explanation to offer?
18965But-- but how do you figure it out?
18965By whom was it written?
18965Ca n''t you give it to me?
18965Can you throw any light on the murder-- have you any idea as to who could have done it?
18965Coroner,he said,"suppose you adjourn the inquest for the present?
18965Could anyone have entered without passing you or without your noticing him?
18965Did Beard make any statement on the way to jail?
18965Did Collins actually commit the murder?
18965Did Mr. Whitmore have any trouble with anyone before he left?
18965Did any of the clerks enter the office?
18965Did he say anything when you arrested him?
18965Did he say anything?
18965Did n''t you have one of your men''phone me? 18965 Did you bring me down to witness this?"
18965Did you follow her to the house?
18965Did you hear a shot fired, or any other peculiar sound?
18965Did you hear the shot fired?
18965Did you hear what brought about the break six weeks ago?
18965Did you mail the letter I gave you?
18965Did you observe the address on the letter?
18965Did you see Mr. Whitmore after her departure?
18965Did you see anyone enter the office?
18965Did you see the physician who attended him?
18965Do n''t you realize what it means?
18965Do n''t you see the mess you are getting into?
18965Do n''t you understand the position we''re in?
18965Do you know where he was?
18965Do you know why Julia Strong killed herself?
18965Do you observe the perforations about the edge of the wound? 18965 Do you perceive any connection between the murder of Whitmore and the attempted post office robbery?"
18965Do you really believe me capable of committing murder?
18965Do you recall Arthur Travis?
18965Do you recognize it?
18965Do you recognize it?
18965Do you think he was doing it because he wanted to be convicted? 18965 Do you think we can use him?"
18965Do you want them to remain?
18965Do you want to investigate their alibis?
18965Do you wish to advise with anyone before answering my questions?
18965Do you wish to spoil everything? 18965 Do you-- do you intend to send her there?"
18965Does Mr. Luckstone mean he''s got an alibi for all his clients?
18965Does he suppose that by sending you with threats he can prevent me from telling-- from telling-- her?
18965Greig,he said, moving his head slightly to one side, so as to face his assistant,"what do you make of the case?"
18965Has the failure any criminal aspect?
18965Have you any evidence bearing on the act itself-- on the killing, I mean?
18965Have you any idea at all as to the condition of the business?
18965Have you established his presence at the scene of the crime?
18965Have you searched the body?
18965How about the papers in the desk?
18965How are we going to obtain legal evidence, not deductions against him?
18965How can I have?
18965How dared you?
18965How?
18965How?
18965I understand that policemen were sent to clear the corridor outside of Ward''s office?
18965I wonder whether I''ve miscalculated this time?
18965If none of the suspects was at Whitmore''s office, how could any of them have killed Whitmore?
18965If you did n''t do it, why do n''t you establish your innocence?
18965If you do, why do n''t you enlighten us?
18965If you regard the matter so lightly, why do n''t you disclose your knowledge to the coroner?
18965In other words, you have a complete alibi with which to meet a charge of murder?
18965In other words, you''re going to prepare a lamb for slaughter in the hope that the wolf will come forward and confess?
18965Is Mrs. Collins at home?
18965Is he a chronic drunk or an occasional drinker?
18965Is he often away as late as this?
18965Is n''t it somewhat unusual that nobody called to see Mr. Whitmore on his return this morning?
18965Is n''t there some way of preventing this additional humiliation?
18965Is she accused of murder?
18965Is there anything further that I can do?
18965It''s an established characteristic of wolves-- saving the innocent lamb from slaughter, is n''t it?
18965Killed him?
18965Lieutenant, is there any other question you desire to ask?
18965Lieutenant,he said disparagingly,"you do n''t attribute this crime to the work of spirits, do you?"
18965Madam, what is your name?
18965May I see Mr. Horace Beard?
18965Miss Burden-- who brought you here?
18965Mr. Herbert Whitmore?
18965Mr. Whitmore was absent for six weeks?
18965Mrs. Collins, a lady of refinement, a gentlewoman in every sense of the word-- is she to be dragged to Police Headquarters like a common felon? 18965 Must I meet him?"
18965Not laying down on it, are you?
18965Not the Mr. Collins mentioned in connection with the Whitmore case?
18965Now that our most valuable witness is dead-- what next?
18965Now that you are convinced that it has no bearing on Mr. Whitmore''s death, may I have it?
18965Now what did Whitmore do? 18965 Now what is the inevitable conclusion?
18965Now what is your name?
18965Oh, what''s the good of remaining silent any longer?
18965On what charge?
18965On what ground do you refuse to answer?
18965Saved you a lot of trouble, did n''t he?
18965Setting one of your famous traps-- eh?
18965Shall I take any decisive steps if the facts warrant?
18965Shall we keep him in jail?
18965Since you wo n''t tell us anything about Mr. Whitmore, kindly inform me where_ you_ spent the morning?
18965So you had it in mind to make another prisoner?
18965So you thought you''d elope with the papers I went to all the trouble to gather?
18965So your brother is in a bad way financially?
18965Suppose he carried the pistol in his hand, do n''t you believe he could have intimidated them?
18965Suppose you find that Beard is the murderer?
18965Suppose you lock up an innocent party and the guilty one does n''t come forward to confess?
18965That letter-- will it throw any light on Mr. Whitmore''s death?
18965That so?
18965That was about four hours ago?
18965Then Mr. Collins is not the fish you are after?
18965Then he did n''t deliver-- the woman, Julia Strong, did n''t get the message?
18965Then he has killed him-- murdered him?
18965Then he should be in New York to- morrow morning?
18965Then how did he get in?
18965Then perhaps you will tell me why you arrested my sister?
18965Then the men in his office-- they know the murderer and he asked them not to tell?
18965Then why did she commit suicide?
18965Then why do n''t you enlighten me?
18965Then why in hell do n''t you arrest Lester Ward?
18965Then you accept them?
18965Then you believe Mr. Whitmore committed suicide?
18965Then you believe she is innocent?
18965Then you mean to intimate that if he was shot that night, the shooting was done by an outsider?
18965Then you simply believe he committed the murder because he had threatened to do so?
18965Then you wo n''t mind identifying it if I find it in my search of the premises?
18965There was some mail for me-- where is it?
18965This Mr. Collins-- can you explain how he got in here without being observed by the clerks?
18965This man was in the room when the shot was fired?
18965Through the wall? 18965 To warn me of what?"
18965Well, what did you come here for?
18965Well, what do you think is going to happen now?
18965Well, what do you think of that?
18965Well, what happened?
18965Well, what is it?
18965Well, what is your theory?
18965Well, what of that?
18965Well, what''s the use of trying to give you a chance?
18965Well-- who are you?
18965Well?
18965Were any visitors here this morning?
18965What are you going to do?
18965What are you going to do?
18965What are you talking about?
18965What assurance have we that we''re going to get the money?
18965What brought you here?
18965What can I do for you?
18965What did Mr. Whitmore say to you when he arrived this morning?
18965What do you make of it?
18965What do you mean by coming here at this hour?
18965What do you mean?
18965What do you mean?
18965What do you think of it, chief?
18965What do you think of it?
18965What do you wish me to do?
18965What does it mean?
18965What does this mean?
18965What does this mean?
18965What enlightenment can I offer?
18965What evidence have you that he committed the crime?
18965What is it?
18965What is the status of the case?
18965What letter are you talking about?
18965What mess?
18965What right had he to use my money in his enterprises? 18965 What right had you to search my house?"
18965What right have you to come here and question this man, then arrest him without a warrant? 18965 What sort of an understanding?"
18965What was his name?
18965What''s coming off?
18965What''s happened?
18965What''s the trouble?
18965When did Collins intercept the letter?
18965When?
18965Where did Mr. Whitmore spend the past six weeks?
18965Where did you get this will?
18965Where is he? 18965 Where is he?"
18965Where is the deputy who took the convict, Arthur Travis, to Atlanta?
18965Where was the will signed?
18965Where''d you get him?
18965Where''d you get it?
18965Where''d you get them?
18965Where''s Lester Ward?
18965Where''s Ward?
18965Where''s your brother?
18965Where?
18965Which makes it clear that it was to Mr. Ward''s interest as well as your own to find Mr. Whitmore alive?
18965Who are these men?
18965Who are you, sir?
18965Who are you?
18965Who defended Travis?
18965Who is he?
18965Who is the man you wish to surrender?
18965Who killed Herbert Whitmore?
18965Who lives in there?
18965Who visited Mr. Whitmore on the night he disappeared?
18965Who was she?
18965Who wishes to speak with her?
18965Who''s going to pay them?
18965Who, beside you and Mr. Whitmore knew the provisions of the will?
18965Why all this maneuvering?
18965Why are you so anxious to obtain it?
18965Why ca n''t you leave me alone?
18965Why did you come to tell me this?
18965Why do n''t he tell us where we stand?
18965Why do n''t you talk? 18965 Why do n''t you think it over?
18965Why do you ask that?
18965Why do you tell me this?
18965Why not?
18965Why should I plead for him with you? 18965 Why, Mrs. Collins, what does it mean?"
18965Why, what do you mean?
18965Why, what do you mean?
18965Why, what evidence is there to the contrary?
18965Why-- er-- how was it done?
18965Why-- what do you mean?
18965Why-- what do you mean?
18965Why-- what does this mean?
18965Why?
18965Why?
18965Why?
18965Wo n''t you please let me go?
18965Wo n''t you save him?
18965Would you know her again if you saw her?
18965Would you prefer being questioned at Police Headquarters?
18965Would you try to rehabilitate yourself with her fortune? 18965 You counsel me to continue living with him?"
18965You deem that sufficient?
18965You did n''t expect the murderer to come forward and announce himself, did you?
18965You do n''t mean he''ll have to go to prison?
18965You do n''t mean to imply that an outsider committed the murder?
18965You do n''t think, really, that he would shoot?
18965You drew his will, did n''t you?
18965You have no doubt that she did the trick?
18965You know what will happen to you if you tell a lie?
18965You mean he asked you to?
18965You mean that I am not permitted to speak with my sister?
18965You mean that you are offering yourself as a target in order to shield the guilty person?
18965You mean they are manufactured?
18965You prefer to have witnesses present?
18965You promised to marry her?
18965You realize the significance of the identification, do n''t you?
18965You say Collins will be at your house at eleven to- night?
18965You say he will confess?
18965You say that Mr. Whitmore returned from a business trip?
18965Your brother expected Mr. Whitmore to rescue him?
18965A brother approving the liaison between''em?
18965Above all, what attitude should he adopt toward her?
18965Ai n''t a man got the right to defend his home?
18965And yet, if they did n''t see him enter or leave and did n''t hear a shot, how the devil did the assassin get in and out?"
18965Are you going to aid the murderer of your employer to escape punishment?"
18965Are you seeking incriminating admissions?
18965Beard been here this morning?"
18965Beard comes?"
18965Beard in the Tombs and you have Mrs. Collins at Headquarters--""What-- he arrested my wife?"
18965Beard will not be here to- night?"
18965Beard''s home, I believe?"
18965Beard''s statement, do n''t you?"
18965Beard, have you anything to add to the officer''s story?"
18965Beard?"
18965Beard?"
18965Beard?"
18965Beard?"
18965Beard?"
18965Beard?"
18965But on whom would Britz fasten the crime?
18965But suppose I did kill him?
18965But what motive prompted her to extend the mantle of protection about him, and simultaneously to betray George Collins?
18965But why this hurry?"
18965CHAPTER IV What had become of Herbert Whitmore?
18965Collins?"
18965Collins?"
18965Collins?"
18965Collins?"
18965Did she come to plead a financial matter?--or was she here for purposes of blackmail?
18965Did she have knowledge of his incriminating conduct, and was she sent to ensnare him into further complications?
18965Do n''t you see the game?
18965Do n''t you see the situation?
18965Do n''t you think I''m right?"
18965Do you believe these men would have permitted him to escape?"
18965Do you think it fair?"
18965Do you want to condemn yourself?"
18965Do you wish to be present when I draw them in?"
18965Ever heard of anything like that before?
18965Fine state of affairs-- what?"
18965For, had he not accused Collins in even stronger terms in the very presence of his murdered employer?
18965From the top of the pile he took a letter, and, advancing toward her, asked:"Is this the note?"
18965Had he known of the inheritance, do you think he would have skipped?
18965How soon can you hold the inquest?"
18965I suppose my first duty is to discharge Mrs. Collins from custody?"
18965I''ll send that cur to the electric chair-- why should I shield him?"
18965Just then the unceasing murmur in the hall swelled into a chorus of profanity in which cries of"What''s your hurry?"
18965May we go?"
18965Now what becomes of your theory that Mr. Whitmore was shot by one of my clients?
18965Now what do you think occurred?"
18965On what charge do you arrest this lady?"
18965Or are you simply on a fishing expedition?"
18965Or did he fire through the ceiling or floor?"
18965Or do you think Luckstone would have permitted him to leave this evidence lying about except to delude us?
18965Or was it the expression of a last, flickering hope, to which he clung desperately, like a man staking his last dollar on a thousand- to- one chance?
18965She knew she was the chief beneficiary of the will-- don''t you see what Whitmore''s death meant to her?
18965So what was there to do except to kill him and get his estate?"
18965That''s a hell of a way to treat a good fellow like me, now ai n''t it?
18965Then, suddenly recalling the high hopes which he had based on his expected meeting with Ward, he asked:"Has Ward been here to- day?"
18965Ward?"
18965Was Collins really the murderer or was she trying to fasten guilt on an innocent man?
18965Was she ready to really assist the police, or was she trying to lead them into endless channels of error?
18965Was this woman really about to spring a trap beneath Collins''s feet?
18965We''d both be in a fine predicament now, would n''t we?
18965Were Ward and Mrs. Collins in a conspiracy to kill Whitmore?
18965What did you do with our money?"
18965What do you mean?"
18965What do you think of that?"
18965What inference do you think the public is going to draw?
18965What more reasonable than that she should go forth and slay him?
18965What motive have you in concealing Mr. Whitmore''s whereabouts during his absence from his office?"
18965What motive prompted this visit at ten in the evening?
18965What new trick was this detective about to play?
18965What next?"
18965What the devil do you mean?"
18965What''s the use?"
18965What''s this country coming to when a viper can sneak into another man''s house and steal his wife?
18965When do you think you can obtain his release?"
18965Where did he obtain knowledge of it?
18965Where''s our money?
18965Whitmore?"
18965Whitmore?"
18965Whitmore?"
18965Whitmore?"
18965Who could have done it?
18965Who had told the police of it?
18965Who was she?
18965Why do n''t you speak and clear yourself?"
18965Why sacrifice yourself longer-- why sacrifice me?
18965Will you hold court down here?"
18965Wo n''t you join us in a drink?"
18965You''ve got two of them under arrest-- why do n''t you lock up Ward and Collins and have them all in jail?
18761''Not live, Evelyn?'' 18761 A blonde, you say, sir?"
18761Am I an assassin? 18761 And did not Bartow?"
18761And did you find it, Miss Butterworth? 18761 And had to be carried out of the place after----""What?"
18761And moved the inkstand?
18761And now how about those introductions we enjoined you to bring from Paris?
18761And she was young, and carried a bunch of flowers, and seemed troubled? 18761 And the hour at which this lady was seen on the curbstone at Hudson''s?"
18761And the young girl with the blonde hair?
18761And was she standing there when you came out?
18761And was that all? 18761 And what do you hope to do with the rose- leaves?
18761And what else did you do? 18761 And what was it, madam?
18761And you described the bride?
18761And you heard his voice in the study?
18761And you?
18761Another of your mechanical contrivances?
18761Another?
18761Any one waiting for me?
18761But how can he know what light is burning here? 18761 But this right thread?
18761But you wore something which fell from your neck?
18761Ca n''t you hear?
18761Ca n''t you speak?
18761Cadwalader? 18761 Cadwalader?"
18761Did you see her go? 18761 Dinna ye hear him?
18761Do you know who the young man is I saw leaving that house so hurriedly?
18761Do you think he can see through the floor?
18761Does he dread my meeting with Evelyn? 18761 Does he know that any one has entered the house?
18761Does he mope? 18761 Escape?
18761Eva? 18761 First, find the whereabouts of this young couple-- but did n''t you tell me you had done so; that you know where they are?"
18761For one which would reflect dishonor on me? 18761 Good; and what kind of a woman did he make her out to be?
18761Had she, by some supernatural power, listened to our talk, or had she really been visited by some dream, that she looked so changed? 18761 Has he been brought to this state by the tragedy which has just taken place here, or is his present insane condition its precursor and cause?"
18761Have you any reason to believe that Evelyn''s death was not a natural one?
18761Have you no clews to their identity beyond this parasol?
18761Have you ordered your coachman to drive away?
18761Have you read the newspapers for the last few days?
18761Have you searched for it? 18761 He made it, then, himself?"
18761He?
18761How were they dressed?
18761I do n''t think they look very happy, do you, for so rich and handsome a couple?
18761I? 18761 In the round of the staircase?"
18761In this room, sir? 18761 Is it hate or love I feel, abhorrence or passion?
18761Is our revenge late for one so blessed?
18761Is there anything wrong about that?
18761Must she be dragged into this-- so sick, so weak a woman? 18761 Nor from the old man who laughed?"
18761Nor that of the maker?
18761Now, why should it be trodden here? 18761 Of him?
18761Of what am I accused? 18761 On the floor?"
18761Or of the plate of steel and the other contrivances with which your brother enlivened his solitude?
18761Or understand the mystery of the colored lights?
18761Shall we go against the doctors? 18761 The difficulty, madam?"
18761The line of writing?
18761There is a man upstairs whom we may perhaps make hear, but what does this contrivance portend? 18761 Very true; but why do you reason as if this paper had just been written?
18761Was she a pretty lady?
18761What did? 18761 What do you mean by sliding off like this?
18761What have you against me?
18761What is it?
18761What is it?
18761What is this?
18761What test, my boy? 18761 Where is John Poindexter?"
18761Where is Tom? 18761 Where is my father?"
18761Why did you take it up at all? 18761 Why is not Mrs. Adams''s father here?
18761Why-- what?
18761Will you hear my story, sir? 18761 Will you remain here?"
18761Yet, if not for him, for whom, then? 18761 You did not touch the buttons arranged along the table top?"
18761You do not know who John Poindexter is, and what he has done to me and mine? 18761 You recognize them?
18761You want a hand in this matter?
18761You will na? 18761 You will?"
18761You wish me to sign these words, to put them into my own handwriting, and so to make them mine? 18761 You would?"
18761You?
18761Your story? 18761 ''Amos''s son,''he called him? 18761 ''Has your mistress lost a parasol? 18761 ''Have you a cab?'' 18761 A look of determination, arguing some superhuman resolve taken at the moment of death, or-- can you read that face for me? 18761 Ah, what is that? 18761 Am I not in a way required to love her? 18761 And Felix went by the name of Cadwalader, too, in the early days of which I have to tell, he and a sister whose name----"Well?
18761And how did you set about it?"
18761And now, sir, where do you think I am going first?
18761And shall I stop now, in the presence of these men who have heard your words and may believe them?
18761And so this man who had an appointment with Mr. Adams was shocked, really shocked, at finding him lying there under a cross, dead?"
18761And to whom did this voice belong, in a house which had already been ransacked in vain for other occupants?
18761And was it in my ears these words were poured?
18761And what did you learn there?
18761And why must I write it here?
18761Any blood shed?
18761Anybody upstairs?"
18761Anything that I will consider or which will prevent my finger from pressing the button on which it rests?"
18761Anything, I mean, beyond what you have hitherto urged?
18761Are you afraid to remain for a moment alone, while I watch from the window the arrival of the other persons we expect?
18761Are you ready to say I have done well?"
18761Are you satisfied with me now?
18761Are you sure you have made no mistake; that she is the woman we are after; the woman who was in Mr. Adams''s house and sent us the warning?"
18761Are you up to it, Sweetwater?
18761Are you well, or did your journey affect your health?
18761As his eager form bounded into the room I tottered forth, carrying with me a vision of her face as she rose to meet-- what?
18761At the worst, what had I to fear?
18761At which I stepped briskly enough aside, I assure you, for this might mean-- What did you say?
18761Besides, if these words had been meant for his assailant, why make so remarkable an effort to hide them from him?"
18761Besides, why should she hear what we have to say?
18761But Thomas, shall Bartow go?
18761But am I called upon to hate her?
18761But if you have a more patient vision than myself----""Or make it my business to look lower----""How?"
18761But what reason have we for thinking they will be found together?"
18761But where can she get them to sew on?
18761But who can pray against himself?
18761But who is Thomas Adams?
18761By using the clew I gave you?"
18761Can it be that the wrongs of earth are forgotten here?
18761Can you find it?"
18761Can you tell me whether she went up street or down?"
18761Could Felix have imagined such a Poindexter?
18761Could he have dealt that blow himself?
18761Curses on my----"Did I say I would fly?
18761DEAR FELIX: Will you send me a few exquisite articles from Tiffany''s?
18761Delicate?
18761Did I close the door?
18761Did I leave my image in one of the mirrors?"
18761Did I say that he was, as of old, the chief man of the town?
18761Did Mr. Gryce suffer from any qualms of conscience at having elicited so much and imparted so little?
18761Did he allow his daughter to leave him on such an errand as this without offering to accompany her?"
18761Did he feel the revolt in my tone and understand then as well as afterward what the nature of my compliance had been?
18761Did he not know whom he was to meet in this house?
18761Did he not know whom he was to meet in this house?
18761Did he recognize it?"
18761Did he see you when you came upon him upstairs?"
18761Did he think it odd that she knew him, that she sought him?
18761Did n''t you encounter the butler?
18761Did she know them, or was it only her curiosity that was aroused?
18761Did she mention a paper?"
18761Did she see him lift the dagger against his own breast?"
18761Did you encounter him close enough for recognition?"
18761Did you just look at that recumbent man and vanish?
18761Did you prolong it after the departure of this old man?"
18761Distrust, instead of confide in my honor and affection?
18761Do n''t you hear footsteps, sir?"
18761Do n''t you hear the gentleman speaking to you?"
18761Do n''t you see that he came expecting to find a pile of books on the table which it was probably his business to restore to their shelves?"
18761Do n''t you see the difficulty, then?"
18761Do you doubt my mechanical skill or the perfection of the electrical apparatus I have caused to be placed here?
18761Do you know how Sweetwater came to find you?
18761Do you know the city well enough to attempt to find a needle in this very big haystack?"
18761Do you suppose Eva and Evelyn are the same?"
18761Do you think she will be called upon to answer for this blow?
18761Do you think you can find them, Sweetwater?"
18761Do you think"--here she became quite nervous for one of her marked self- control--"that I have laid myself open to a summons from the coroner?"
18761Does he wish to placate me before I am joined to that pathetic shade?
18761Does she really love him?
18761For the old gentleman who came in later?"
18761Had he an answer ready when Amos Cadwalader should ask him what had become of his child?
18761Had he expected to find something concealed under it?
18761Had it caught on any projection in doorway or furniture?
18761Has the loveliness of the daughter cast a halo about the parent?
18761Have I become a slave where I hoped to be master?
18761Have I been given an angel to degrade?
18761Have I the other qualities she demands?
18761Have I, Thomas Cadwalader, given my soul into the keeping of this innocent girl?
18761Have n''t you some definite knowledge to impart in his regard which will settle his innocence or fix his guilt?"
18761Have you any such clew as that?
18761Have you anything to say against this plan?
18761Have you ever gazed upon a more moving countenance, or one in which beauty contends with a keener prophecy of woe?"
18761Have you thought of him as a possible accomplice?"
18761He was hurried through the night, with the motion of the ship still in his blood, to meet-- what?
18761Hear him?
18761Him?"
18761His own heart or my own impetuosity?
18761How came I to hear this man''s cries in Mr. Adams''s study, and yet find him on the second floor when I came to search the house?
18761How came it to be torn down?
18761How came you to know it, sir?
18761How came you to light on this woman so soon?
18761How can a florist help you in finding this young woman by means of them?"
18761How could I help it?
18761How could I?
18761How does that strike you, Felix?
18761How reconcile facts so diametrically opposed?
18761How shall we know it among the fifty I see entangled in this matter?"
18761How will it end?
18761I certainly think it has a decided bearing on this mystery; such a fold to the lips, such a look of mingled grief and-- what was that you said?
18761I have not stayed too long?
18761I imagined myself probing its secrets to the bottom and----""Wait, madam; how many of its so- called secrets do you know?
18761I never could have rested properly after seeing so much, and----""Well?"
18761I thought I had thoroughly searched those rooms----""And the halls?"
18761I wonder if she is Evelyn?"
18761I wonder if they are bride and groom?
18761I, a stranger from the street, had witnessed his last breath while the young man who had gone out----""Can you describe him?
18761If Bartow is, as we think, innocent of all connection with this crime save as witness, why does he show such joy at its result?
18761If Bartow is, as we think, innocent of all connection with this crime save as witness, why does he show such joy at its result?
18761If he was the perpetrator of this crime, how comes it that he was not detected and denounced by the young people I saw going out?
18761If there had been a scrap of writing within view or in his desk----""It was not on his person?
18761If you allow yourself to go under, what will become of me?"
18761If you think your money----""Money?"
18761Into what depths of remorse, who could say?
18761Is he at his office, and do you think I would be received?''
18761Is he coming down?
18761Is he known there?"
18761Is his expression one of fear or anger?"
18761Is it because he is Eva''s father?
18761Is it love I feel?
18761Is it my duty to cut it short by proclaiming my infidelity to my oath and my determination to marry the girl who has made me forget it?
18761Is it not so?"
18761Is it-- Evelyn?"
18761Is not this parasol yours?
18761It must be her mouth, which is lovely, or her walk-- did you notice her walk?
18761It ran thus: Have you sufficient interest in the outcome of a certain matter to take a short journey into the country?
18761It was a private wedding, sir, celebrated in a hotel parlor; but her father was with her----""Her father?"
18761Keep away?"
18761Let us bury the past; let us----"Had I hoped I could move him?
18761Madam, have you any further ideas?
18761May I ask, what test?"
18761May I inquire if you wore the same bonnet yesterday that you do to- day?"
18761May he have been a suicide after all?"
18761Miss Butterworth drew a long breath, eyed Mr. Gryce with some curiosity, and then triumphantly exclaimed:"Can you read the meaning of all that?
18761Mr. Gryce, on what does this mystery hinge?
18761Now what was his first move?"
18761Now will you examine the connection, and see if there is anything peculiar about it?"
18761Oh, where is Tom?
18761One?
18761Or am I so blind as to behold a saint where others( Felix, let us say) would see only a pretty woman with unexpected attractions?
18761Or did you fail to perceive aught of what I say?
18761Or had he noticed the rugs hanging in an unaccustomed way on either side of the damaged casings?
18761Or must I direct my own power against Eva Poindexter, and, by telling her your motive in courting her, make her hate you forever?"
18761Or was he too absorbed in his own misery to note the shadow it cast about him?
18761Overlook it; overlook her-- you have done so, have you not?
18761Pale?"
18761Poor Evelyn?''"
18761Remember Evelyn?
18761Shall I attempt its description?
18761Shall I go up or stay here?"
18761Shall I not leave it with this young girl?''
18761Shall I relate what I know of those two families?"
18761Shall I string the cage up out of this old fellow''s reach?
18761Shall I tell you how?
18761Shall I try to make my way into the rear yard through one of the lower windows of Knapp& Co.''s store, next door?"
18761She loves me-- she----""Was she with you in Mr. Adams''s study?
18761Should I not pray that it never may?
18761So you are already acquainted with Mrs. Adams''s story?"
18761Something directly to the point?"
18761Sweetwater has not been admitted to the room of death?
18761That mortals remember what the angels forget, and that our revenge is late for one so blessed?"
18761That she should loathe instead of love me?
18761That the man was not left- handed, or that he was not standing in the place you have assigned to him?"
18761Then as the minutes fled and my brother raised a warning hand, she turned toward him, and said:"You are in earnest?
18761Then, why pass over the gleam of infernal joy that lights his face after the whole is over?
18761There is no mistake?"
18761This pale, lean servitor, with a tray in his hand on which rested a single glass of water?
18761Thomas, do you remember the beginning of that journey which finally led you far from me?
18761Thomas, do you swear to this?
18761To him or to the man on the floor beneath, whose ears were forever closed?
18761To turn my mind from dwelling on it?
18761To whom was this appeal from a bird''s throat so imperatively addressed?
18761Was I dreaming?
18761Was I to leave a man on the verge of eighty-- excuse me, not every man of eighty is so hale and vigorous as yourself-- to enter such a scene alone?
18761Was he prepared to meet him?
18761Was he wondering if a case of similar interest would ever bring them together again in consultation?
18761Was it that courage comes with despair?
18761Was it the memory of her whom that stone covered which had aroused this emotion?
18761Was it the memory of what he had last beheld there?
18761Was it?
18761Was n''t it''Evelyn?
18761Was the hand of Providence in this?
18761Was the handwriting recognized?"
18761Was this Felix?
18761Was this myself?
18761Was this the murderer?
18761We must separate in shame or perish in this prison- house with you?"
18761Were there any empty coaches about that you saw?"
18761What allusion could there be in these lines to the new- made bride of another man?
18761What are Amos Cadwalader''s hatred and the mortal wrong that called so loudly for revenge?
18761What could it be?
18761What did I find?
18761What did I write?
18761What did it mean, and who was this young girl who honored with such gracious memorials the grave of my long- buried sister?
18761What did you learn about him in Montgomery?
18761What does it mean, Thomas?
18761What does that mean?"
18761What does this mean?
18761What first drew your attention to the house?"
18761What follows?
18761What is old John Poindexter to me?
18761What position did Mr. Felix Adams hold toward this young girl qualifying him to make use of such language after her marriage to his brother?
18761What position did Mr. Felix Adams hold toward this young girl qualifying him to make use of such language after her marriage to his brother?
18761What was he destined to do or say or be?
18761What was it he cried then?"
18761What was it saying while you stood there?"
18761What was that I heard about your marrying?"
18761What were these impressions, and in what had they originated?
18761What were you looking for?"
18761What would you have thought of me if I had not?
18761What?
18761Whatever people may think, he had nothing to do with this crime----""You did not observe him, I say, standing in the doorway and watching you?"
18761When shall I see you again?"
18761When you see him-- but what is that?
18761Where can we hide?"
18761Where have you been, Sweetwater?"
18761Where is he?"
18761Where is that contrivance?
18761Where or how procured by him, who can tell?
18761Where, then?"
18761Which shall it be?
18761Which will carry the day?
18761Who can tell?
18761Who had torn down that cross?
18761Who is Amos?
18761Who killed this man?
18761Who put it on his bosom?"
18761Who says we are living in New York within sound of the cable car and the singing of the telegraph wire?"
18761Who was Evelyn?
18761Who was he?
18761Who would strike Eva?"
18761Who would strike Eva?"
18761Whose daughter?
18761Why Arnold''s?
18761Why does he leave me?
18761Why harp on old''griefs?''
18761Why not now?
18761Why should I?
18761Why was the pronoun"I"used in this communication?
18761Why was the pronoun"I"used in this communication?
18761Why?
18761Why?
18761Why?
18761Will its shadow so overwhelm the rest that her naturally pure spirit will shrink from me just at the moment when I think her mine?
18761Will she be tried, convicted?"
18761Will you escort me to my carriage?"
18761Will you repeat them again, if you please, sentence by sentence?"
18761Would n''t you say that it was in the midst of those folds of dark- colored tapestry up there?"
18761Would you expect me to live, knowing you to be perishing?"
18761Yesterday I was in reception costume, and my bonnet was a jet one----""With long strings tied under the chin?"
18761Yet what of that?
18761You did not observe the valet, then?"
18761You do?
18761You have heard nothing from them, I suppose?"
18761You have proved your point quite satisfactorily; but what conclusions are to be drawn from it?
18761You may marry her, but----"What stopped him?
18761You need not, Thomas; nor need you doubt the will that has only to exert itself for an instant to-- Shall I press the button, brother?"
18761You or the young lady-- did she wear ribbons or streamers, too?"
18761You wore a dress spangled with black sequins, did you not?
18761You would not confront me with him?"
18761as I would watch, and when I come back-- for I will come back, will I not?"
18761he cried,"you have not found her?"
18761he might curse on if----"What have I said about no man knowing?
18761he repeated;"and when?
18761not young, and carried no flowers-- and was n''t even anxious and trembling?"
2344''Have I anything to say? 2344 Ah, the Conqueror, perhaps?"
2344And the criminal?
2344Ca n''t you be happy for five minutes without Mary, Jim?
2344Do you mean to say that you read my train of thoughts from my features?
2344Have you found out anything?
2344How could you know that?
2344How far to Wallington?
2344I presume that this Jim Browner, the steward of a Liverpool boat, is the man whom you suspect?
2344Is Miss Cushing at home?
2344My dear Mr. Holmes: In accordance with the scheme which we had formed in order to test our theories["the''we''is rather fine, Watson, is it not?"]
2344What do you make of this string, Lestrade?
2344What is the meaning of it, Watson?
2344What is the use of asking me questions when I tell you I know nothing whatever about it?
2344What is this, Holmes?
2344What object is served by this circle of misery and violence and fear? 2344 What say you, Watson?
2344Where''s Mary?
2344Where''s Sarah?
2344Why in my presence, sir?
2344Why not?
2344You are sure of it?
2344Your case is not complete, then?
2344Your sister Sarah lives, I think you said, at New Street, Wallington? 2344 And why should these proofs of the deed be sent to Miss Sarah Cushing? 2344 But I have been seated quietly in my chair, and what clues can I have given you?
2344But what end?
2344Can you rise superior to the heat and run down to Croydon with me on the off chance of a case for your annals?"
2344Does she know?
2344I have not an enemy in the world, as far as I know, so why should anyone play me such a trick?"
2344If she knew, why should she call the police in?
2344If the two people were murdered, who but their murderer would have sent this sign of his work to Miss Cushing?
2344My God, shall I ever forget their faces when they saw who was in the boat that was closing in upon them?
2344My God, whoever would have thought that it could have come to this?
2344Perhaps you can not yourself recall how your reverie commenced?"
2344What did we see first?
2344What reason then?
2344What, did you not observe it?
2344Whoever would have dreamed it?
2344You wo n''t put me alone into a cell, sir?
14167A convict escaped, Will?
14167A new motor car, you told me?
14167A shot? 14167 A spirit?
14167About as easy as shelling peas-- eh?
14167An adventure, Signor Marco? 14167 And how do you know even so much?"
14167And presently what will happen if he is not caught and hanged? 14167 And that is all you know?"
14167And what about her, Giuseppe?
14167And what about me?
14167And what of your meeting with him?
14167And yet he behaves to you as though he were a devil? 14167 And yet who shall not call you very wise indeed?
14167And yet you''re a detective''first and last and always''--eh? 14167 And you are still looking for the rich woman to restore the last of the Dorias to his castle?"
14167Are they?
14167Are you sure that you are wise? 14167 Be quick; what the devil''s the matter?
14167Before you mentioned it?
14167But if the danger lies with Doria, as you seem to hint, how can you, or anybody else, save Mr. Redmayne from it? 14167 But this one-- d''you see it?"
14167But what about your ambitions-- to we d an heiress and claim the title and the territory of your vanished forbears?
14167But what happens to a madman after a crime of this sort? 14167 But what is the question?"
14167Ca n''t I go?''
14167Ca n''t you believe me? 14167 Can I not help you?"
14167Can the launch go to sea?
14167Can the men say if anything was done last night-- in the way of work on the bungalow?
14167Can you give me any sort of hope?
14167Can you not think and put two and two together where I am concerned, as you do in everything else? 14167 Convict escaped?
14167Could anybody but an old sailor have created this place?
14167Could you get off in a week?
14167D''you remember the night you left''Crow''s Nest''after your first visit? 14167 Did Ringrose also report the sack behind the motor bicycle?"
14167Did anybody have a chance?
14167Did he ever visit you here in the past? 14167 Did he quarrel often?"
14167Did he recognize me, Assunta? 14167 Did he see and recognize you?"
14167Did he talk like a sane man?
14167Did n''t you do the same thing last week? 14167 Did you ever hear Captain Redmayne speak of his niece and her husband?"
14167Did you see him?
14167Do n''t you?''
14167Do you begin to see any light?
14167Do you believe all Doria tells you? 14167 Do you honestly expect that I, who know your wife, am going to believe this grotesque story?"
14167Does he still possess this ambition?
14167For what?
14167Found what?
14167Had your husband seen her?
14167Have I not seen Mrs. Doria under affliction and in situations unspeakably difficult? 14167 Have the workmen been in here this morning?"
14167Have you another communication-- something from the past I can compare with this?
14167Have you ever met with any such thing before?
14167Have you looked into your uncle''s room since he disappeared?
14167Have you noticed that man?
14167Have you searched the quarries?
14167He has abandoned his ambitions to recover the family estates and title and so forth? 14167 He interests you?"
14167He is in danger?
14167He may correspond with Miss Reed if he gets to France?
14167He''s awake to the critical situation?
14167Helpless? 14167 How can I forget what I do n''t know?
14167How can you tell that he is near, if he has not yet been to his brother?
14167How comes it you are not back in your own country, now the war is over?
14167How does he treat her?
14167How is everybody?
14167How is uncle?
14167How old was he?
14167How was he dressed?
14167How?
14167I''m doing it, ai n''t I? 14167 If this is a ghost, that''s a way out, of course; but in that case why are you frightened for Albert Redmayne''s life?"
14167Is he at home?
14167Is he sane?
14167Is he sure that it really does come from his brother?
14167Is she ready to see me?
14167Is that like him?
14167Is that so? 14167 Is that so?
14167Is there danger to the signor from his brother?
14167May I hope that you have friends who are coming forward?
14167May I?
14167Might my husband be alive? 14167 No news, I suppose, of my poor brother?"
14167No news?
14167Not a spook?
14167Not likely to break out again and cut another throat?
14167Nothing from Berry Head?
14167Nothing further of-- of-- Robert?
14167Now what passed in his mind? 14167 Plenty of smugglers in the mountains I suppose?"
14167Robert Redmayne?
14167Shall I go out to the man, or has he gone?
14167So Robert Redmayne, the murderer of Michael Pendean, has turned up?
14167Surely you have caught everybody you ever tried to catch, Peter?
14167That''s about the only fun you get up here, is n''t it?
14167That''s why you wanted Bendigo Redmayne''s log then?
14167That''s your feeling? 14167 The Boston murderer?
14167The point is then: did Assunta see him also?
14167The question, my friend, is this: Did Robert Redmayne murder Michael Pendean and Bendigo Redmayne? 14167 The writing was really his?"
14167Then what are you doing in this motor launch?
14167Then you do think Mr. Albert Redmayne is in danger?
14167They dodge the customs officers and get across the frontier by night sometimes I dare say?
14167To- morrow?
14167Was anybody with him?
14167Was he a man you can conceive of as capable of striking or killing a fellow creature?
14167Was he all right then?
14167What about you? 14167 What d''you make of it?"
14167What did he want to do that for?
14167What did you do?
14167What do you mean?
14167What do you think of Mrs. Pendean, inspector?
14167What do you think of this business?
14167What do you think?
14167What does Goethe say somewhere?
14167What happened exactly, and how does he stand to what he saw?
14167What impartial testimony? 14167 What is it about Dartmoor?
14167What is it going to do, I wonder?
14167What is the question Giuseppe puts to himself and, you put to yourself, Peter? 14167 What is this?"
14167What more natural? 14167 What of it?
14167What shall you do next?
14167What sort of a man was he?
14167What was his age?
14167What were they then?
14167What''s that shindy?
14167What''s wrong?
14167What''s your idea?
14167What, then? 14167 Where does this place lead?"
14167Where is Mrs. Pendean''s house?
14167Where is Uncle Albert?
14167Where is she, and where is Doria?
14167Where is the path from here?
14167Where''s the body?
14167Which way did he go?
14167Who could but be patient with the poor wretch? 14167 Who makes acrostics like that?"
14167Who shall say? 14167 Why do you harp on''Robert Redmayne,''like a parrot, my son?
14167Why do you need this, Peter?
14167Why do you speak of secrets?
14167Why is he here? 14167 Why not, Miss Reed?
14167Why not? 14167 Why not?"
14167Why should he hurt me? 14167 Why should it be found that he was mad?"
14167Why should you have doubted what you heard?
14167Why the adjective?
14167Why, what is wrong? 14167 Why?"
14167Will he keep his word and not try to make the running for another six months?
14167Will you let me know if you leave here?
14167Will you lunch with me here in the grillroom at two o''clock?
14167Would it bore you if I fell in with his proposal and came down for a few days after Christmas?
14167Would you like to leave the rest?
14167Would you not have thought some ray of human truth might have touched their hearts in the company of that childlike and kindly spirit? 14167 You are contented, then?"
14167You are positive?
14167You are sure that you did not mistake the old, full book for the new, empty one, Albert?
14167You ca n''t trust him with me, then?
14167You cared much for him? 14167 You did n''t land?"
14167You do n''t deceive yourself?
14167You do not fear for your books, Uncle Albert?
14167You feel quite steady in your nerves? 14167 You have n''t found the body?"
14167You have neither seen nor heard of the captain since?
14167You have no reason to think her as an unhappy bride?
14167You hold that I go in some peril from this unhappy man?
14167You like Doria?
14167You mean that she understands what is happening and will not tell her uncle or you?
14167You still believe that those about Mr. Redmayne are criminals?
14167You think it is all very simple and straight- forward, then?
14167You think that?
14167You think, then, that Doria and Robert Redmayne may be running in double harness? 14167 You throw up the sponge, signor?"
14167You want to get there before we''re expected?
14167You''d say trail Jenny?
14167You''ll go for Doria straight, then?
14167You''ll see Flora Reed?
14167You''re sorry for the under dog sometimes, I expect?
14167''Did Robert Redmayne kill Michael Pendean?''
14167A hideous speech?
14167A mill and a woman are always in want of something, as our proverb says; but though we may know what a mill requires, who can guess a woman''s whims?
14167A smuggler perhaps?
14167A week ago I was walking out of the post- office, when who should suddenly stop in front of me on a motor bicycle but Uncle Robert?
14167And may I ask what you design to do and if it is in my power to serve you personally in any way?"
14167And perhaps you think that Jenny Doria knows this fact and that in this secret knowledge her present misery lies?"
14167And should you not warn the police about Uncle Robert and give them a description of him?"
14167And then what happens?
14167And what have you just told me?
14167And who else could it be in any case?"
14167And why?
14167And you can ask yourself a still more vital question: Are these two men dead at all?"
14167And you have found it out?
14167And you-- you have nothing, or you would have let me hear it?"
14167And, after all, what would success have amounted to?
14167Are you never sleepy?"
14167Because you know me now and find me a very dull dog?"
14167Besides all that, surely none could question the hideous proofs of what happened?
14167But how he lives and what he lives for-- who can tell?"
14167But how if your own woman is cruel to you?"
14167But suppose the worst happens presently and he''s found to be a lunatic, what becomes of his stuff?"
14167But the blood was proved to be human?"
14167But why do you say that you wonder no more?
14167By the same token, how much do you love your niece?"
14167Can you go?"
14167Can you tell me anything about the lady to whom your uncle is engaged?"
14167Can you tell me from where this letter came?
14167Did he not warn the police how I had been a dentist, and advised them to examine my mouth with care?
14167Did he seem to know me?
14167Did he take the right hand for Dartmeet, or the left for Post Bridge and Moreton?"
14167Did n''t you forge yourself and leave yourself dead on the ground?
14167Did you ever in your experience hit up against a man more likely to charm a young woman?"
14167Did you ever notice any signs that these troubles had left any mark upon him?"
14167Did you mark if he had a watch to know the hour?"
14167Did you see him-- right in the path-- Robert Redmayne?"
14167Do you imagine it possible that he could be alive?
14167Do you know enough about him to assist and justify your escape and, if you do, are you prepared to confide your knowledge to me?"
14167Do you reckon that Mr. Redmayne is in any danger?"
14167Does Giuseppe know that you no longer love him?"
14167Does he get off with it and wander over Europe as a free man for a year?
14167Does he know Italy?"
14167Doria?"
14167Doria?"
14167Even if he''d remembered meeting you six months before in the dusk at Foggintor, why should he think you were a man who was hunting him?"
14167For just a moment he slipped, but how could he help it?
14167French?"
14167Ganns?"
14167Ganns?"
14167Have I not suffered enough?"
14167Have you a portrait of your husband?"
14167Have you any ideas?
14167Have you asked yourself why Bendigo Redmayne''s diary is missing?"
14167Have you seen the red man and what is your present opinion concerning Doria and his wife?
14167He has come with news for my master?"
14167He''s faithful, you say, so perhaps that reason is linked with knowledge you do not care to impart to me-- or anybody?
14167How could you assume otherwise?
14167How did you know that?"
14167How has he come and where from?"
14167How would the law stand?
14167I tell you, however, that his soul hungered for blood, not booty: he thirsted for the happiness of the knife!_"And again:"_ What is this man?
14167I was not aware that Peter proposed to arrest me on the night of Albert''s death, for upon what ground could he do so?
14167Is he regarded here as a domestic or an equal?"
14167Is it not so?
14167Is it true that my master and my friend is a dead man-- the old sea wolf dead?"
14167Is not Michael''s widow Doria''s wife?"
14167Is that possible?"
14167Is the boat fast?"
14167Is your husband within reach?
14167It follows-- while we are away-- do you not see?
14167It looks all right; but suppose, for their own ends, that Jenny Doria and her spouse want to create this impression?
14167May I speak of your niece a moment before I go?"
14167Meanwhile what of to- night and to- morrow night?"
14167No ill news of Giuseppe?"
14167Not the red man?
14167Pendean?"
14167Pendean?"
14167Pendean?"
14167Pendean?"
14167Pendean?"
14167Perhaps he and not Robert Redmayne, or any other, cut Michael Pendean''s throat?"
14167Perhaps it embraces the mystery man we want to catch-- Robert Redmayne?
14167Perhaps you are born to revive the fortunes of your race, Doria?"
14167Pretty steep-- eh?
14167Redmayne rules; but what is the good of a home to a man if he does not rule?
14167Redmayne?"
14167Redmayne?"
14167Redmayne?"
14167Redmayne?"
14167Redmayne?"
14167Redmayne?"
14167Redmayne?"
14167Should I consent to be mangled by the Boches because my fatuous country willed to trust the old gang?
14167Suppose that their object is to lead you and me to imagine that they are not friends?"
14167Suppose you catch him presently?
14167Supposing Jenny begged him to hold his hand and spare Robert Redmayne, would he then be justified in keeping his discovery to himself?
14167Surely God is all powerful and would not suffer my interesting and harmless life to be snatched away from me by poison?
14167Surely you have no bias against other nationalities-- a man with a cosmopolitan record like yours?"
14167Tell me a little about yourself, if I may venture to ask?"
14167Then--""But who was to know he meant mischief?
14167There are only two women at''Crow''s Nest''now, and he might come and make a clean sweep-- is it not so?"
14167They wo n''t fail twice-- and what can a woman do to help you against two of them?"
14167This should be the great and primal concern of religion; for what, after all, is the basis of all morality?
14167Thus speaketh the red judge:''Why did this criminal commit murder?
14167To whom would she look?
14167Was I a sheep to be slaughtered for a government of Nonconformists?
14167What are castles and titles-- pomp and glory-- when weighed against her?
14167What can offer an experience so tremendous as murder?
14167What could be more distressing?"
14167What did Robert say?"
14167What did you make of my brother?"
14167What did you think you saw?"
14167What follows?
14167What has happened?"
14167What has science, philosophy, religion to give us comparable with the mysteries, dangers and triumphs of great crime?
14167What is in his mind this morning?
14167What is money for?
14167What is that question, Signor Doria?"
14167What is there antipathetic in his nature to you, and in yours to him?
14167What name, sir?"
14167What romance is this, Signora Jenny, that throws danger into the path of your dear uncle?"
14167What was his love worth if it could not triumph over the handicaps of Chance?
14167What was the first step?
14167What would you make of her?"
14167What''s the weather like?"
14167When does Ganns return?"
14167Where was he now and why had he come hither?
14167While I''m alongside him, he''s safe, I guess; but what may happen as soon as I turn my back?"
14167Whither would she go?
14167Who can tell what measures he took to win her?
14167Who could have felt any interest in poor Uncle Bendigo''s diary but ourselves?"
14167Who else could have warned him-- except Bendigo Redmayne himself?"
14167Who is Peter Ganns?
14167Who is it?"
14167Who sent it?
14167Who should be his enemy-- he who is the friend of every man?
14167Who was to know that he came here to kill his brother?"
14167Who would come to the rescue now?
14167Why d''you call me''sleuth''?"
14167Why did not somebody hint to me that I was doing wrong to we d?"
14167Why do n''t you fish?"
14167Why do you say he only came into it at''Crow''s Nest''?
14167Why jump to any conclusion?
14167Why not?
14167Why not?
14167Why should you?
14167Why, Mr. Brendon-- what have you to envy him?"
14167Why?"
14167Will you, I wonder?
14167Would Mr. Ganns like you to tell Doria anything?"
14167Would you be frightened if I were to leave you, Assunta, and make greater haste?"
14167Would you care to see a medical man?"
14167Would you not have judged that close acquaintance with one so amiable and large- hearted must have wakened a spark of compassion in their souls?
14167Yet how am I going to beat it and leave my old friend at the mercy of this threat?
14167Yet what are the respective achievements of the police?
14167Yet who shall presume to dogmatize?
14167Yet who would deny himself the glory of friendship, before the menace that it must sooner or later finish?
14167Yet, when the time came, what was there that he could say to her?
14167You are going to stop for dinner?
14167You can assure me of that?"
14167You have heard of the Doria?"
14167You see that?
14167You take me?"
14167You understand, however, there must be no question of helping him to evade the law, as he wishes?"
14167You wo n''t mind?"
14167You''d never think now, would you, that she was a red Redmayne-- one of us-- short of temper, peppery, fiery?
14167You''ve found''em, then?"
14167You''ve got it clear?
10029''Ca n''t you trust me to drive you to your home?''
10029''Fair?'' 10029 ''Unmanly?''
10029''You mean to act like a cad?'' 10029 ''You mean to continue your cowardly persecution?''
10029''You would not?'' 10029 A brooch?
10029A circumstance which you do not recollect?
10029A mile?
10029A pearl, set in diamonds mounted on a safety- pin?
10029A woman in it?
10029An old fellow?
10029And Miss Morriston?
10029And can you throw any light on the mystery?
10029And he would tell you nothing?
10029And naturally you never, to your knowledge, saw or communicated with the deceased man since?
10029And still in his evening things?
10029And what are they doing about it?
10029And where is he-- without them?
10029And where is the key?
10029And with that idea he terrorizes you?
10029And yet--"You think it possible?
10029And you knew they were blood- stains?
10029And you replied?
10029And you thought I had stabbed him?
10029And you will not tell me how I can show my gratitude?
10029And you, sir; have you any idea beyond the known facts?
10029And you?
10029Any news at the_ Lion_? 10029 Any relation to Gervase Henshaw?"
10029Are you going?
10029Are you sure the key is in the door on the inside?
10029Are you sure?
10029As a man with knowledge of the world as I take you to be?
10029At least you agree with your friend here, that my poor brother did not strike one as being a man liable to make away with himself?
10029Beg your pardon, captain,he said,"I''m sorry to trouble you, but could you tell me whether they are keeping up the Hunt Ball very late?"
10029Brainy man, Henshaw; unpleasantly sharp, eh?
10029But as to the woman in the case, who could she possibly have been? 10029 But dead?"
10029But if I ask to be allowed that privilege?
10029But who? 10029 But why?
10029But why? 10029 By Miss Morriston''s testimony?"
10029By hanging about in the plantation?
10029By his own hand?
10029Can Miss Tredworth give no explanation, has she no idea as to how the stains came on her dress?
10029Can he prove it?
10029Can this man prove that you are in any way guilty of his brother''s death?
10029Can you open it?
10029Can you see this gentleman, sir?
10029Can you trust me enough to tell me how it all happened?
10029Can you, gentlemen, throw any light on the matter?
10029Could I speak to you, sir?
10029Could this girl tell whether it was a man or a woman?
10029Dancing?
10029Dead of cold?
10029Dick Morriston? 10029 Did I?"
10029Did Mr. Henshaw''s manner or state of mind strike you as being peculiar?
10029Did he tell you what he was doing about the business?
10029Did he, Henshaw, know it formerly?
10029Did you lock the door then, sir?
10029Did you notice a man named Henshaw here last night? 10029 Did you wear a green dress?"
10029Do n''t you admit that the idea is in the highest degree ridiculous?
10029Do you mean to say he never came back all night?
10029Do you suppose a woman killed your brother?
10029Do you think I ca n''t amuse myself for an hour or two alone? 10029 Does any one know his own mind at such a crisis as you have just passed through?"
10029Does it concern the affair at Wynford?
10029Down here?
10029Fear him? 10029 First of all, tell me,"Gifford said,"has anything happened since last night?
10029For my sake, or yours?
10029For what purpose?
10029Gifford? 10029 Has anything more come to light?"
10029Has he? 10029 Have the police any idea?"
10029Have the police arrived at any theory?
10029Have you been exploring the old tower?
10029Have you longer any reason to fear him?
10029Have you lost a brooch, Miss Morriston?
10029Have you repented the suggestion?
10029Having cognizance of what has been going on, it is my plain duty--"Why yours?
10029He is a very good fellow, is n''t he?
10029He is determined to get to the explanation of the mystery?
10029He is not communicative?
10029He made no suggestion as to the stains on Miss Tredworth''s dress?
10029He wanted to marry you?
10029How can you think so? 10029 How could he have got this?"
10029How did he account for his being there?
10029How did it come out? 10029 How do you account for it?"
10029How do you mean?
10029How had the wound-- clearly a fatal one-- been caused? 10029 How is it that this top door is locked, Stent?"
10029How many of you are there?
10029How-- how can he be dead? 10029 Hugh, what are you driving at?"
10029Hugh,he said, his eyes pitiful with fear,"you-- you do n''t think Muriel Tredworth had anything to do with Henshaw''s death?"
10029I presume you gentlemen are going to the Hunt Ball?
10029I say, Edith, what do you think?
10029I suppose he did not do that, unknown to you?
10029I understand you are quite unable to account for the stains on your dress, Miss Tredworth?
10029I? 10029 If he goes no farther than that--""Why should he?"
10029If you have not already done so, are you prepared to repeat your story to the police?
10029In the garden?
10029Indeed? 10029 Is Henshaw likely to give up the search?"
10029Is he a very objectionable person?
10029Is he sure of it?
10029Is he?
10029Is it necessary, Dick?
10029Is it?
10029Is my brother coming?
10029Is n''t it lucky? 10029 Is that a letter?
10029Is there any theory to account for his disappearance?
10029Making every allowance for the sudden shock under which he was labouring I thought his attitude the other day most objectionable, did n''t you?
10029May I ask why you are not going to leave me here?
10029May I tell you the facts, so far as we know them?
10029May one ask what you mean by that?
10029Me?
10029Might he not have locked the door after the wound was given?
10029Miss Morriston authorizes you to tell me that?
10029Miss Morriston does not know?
10029Miss Tredworth--?
10029Morriston has plenty of money?
10029Mr. Gifford, do you believe that story?
10029Mr. Gifford, what can I say? 10029 My dear Hugh,"he exclaimed impatiently,"what is the matter with you?
10029My remark about the cloak of night?
10029Neither of you gentlemen saw my brother dancing?
10029No; what is that?
10029No?
10029Not Miss Morriston''s?
10029Not come in?
10029Not that you are engaged?
10029Oh, yes,Miss Elyot answered,"he used to stay with some people over at Lamberton; you remember the Peltons, Muriel?"
10029On your honour that is your opinion?
10029Only two? 10029 Or how could her dress have been stained?
10029Perhaps you know then,he returned with his sneering smile,"how otherwise, if the lady had no hand in it, my brother came by his death?"
10029Resting? 10029 Shall we see him?"
10029Shall you be going to Wynford Place, sir?
10029Sorry?
10029Still up?
10029Sufficient signs to bear out the young woman''s statement?
10029Suicide? 10029 Suicide?"
10029That he should come to the ball? 10029 That looks rather queer, does n''t it, Hugh?"
10029That was all you saw of my unfortunate brother?
10029The girl saw nothing of the escaping person after he reached the ground?
10029The key is in the lock, inside, is n''t it?
10029The marks on my dress you mean?
10029Then how, with the door locked on the inside did they make their escape?
10029Then they were coming up here independently of my message?
10029Then you know it was an accident?
10029Then you know-- you saw what happened?
10029They are not engaged, then?
10029They can hardly have found out exactly how the man came by his death; much more likely to have abandoned their latest theory, eh, Hugh?
10029This girl,she went on as though searching for a plausible argument,"is it not likely that she was mistaken?
10029This new discovery has changed your opinion?
10029Tired?
10029To Miss-- the girl you were dancing with?
10029To postpone it?
10029To the absolute exoneration of Miss Morriston?
10029To- day?
10029Was it addressed?
10029Was that all?
10029Was the window found open or shut?
10029Well, Mr. Dipper, any news of your missing guest?
10029Well, is the mystery solved?
10029What do you make of this?
10029What do you mean, Painswick?
10029What do you mean? 10029 What do you mean?"
10029What do you mean?
10029What do you think was the real object in your brother coming down here?
10029What do you think? 10029 What else?"
10029What is Miss Tredworth''s idea?
10029What is it to you if he is?
10029What is it, Stent?
10029What is it?
10029What is the idea?
10029What makes you think he would do that?
10029What''s that?
10029What''s the matter? 10029 What''s the matter?"
10029What''s this?
10029What, Dick?
10029What, not open yet?
10029What, you have made a discovery?
10029When?
10029Where he was a stranger? 10029 Where-- where did you find it?"
10029Why do you say by me, of all people?
10029Why do you say now?
10029Why not go to- morrow?
10029Why not?
10029Why on earth should we? 10029 Why suicide?
10029Why, Hugh,he said in an expostulatory tone,"what is the matter with you?
10029Why, good heavens, what do you mean?
10029Yes?
10029You are absolutely sure of that?
10029You are not going, Kelson?
10029You are not suggesting it might have been a woman who was seen sliding down the rope?
10029You believe that?
10029You did?
10029You drove here together? 10029 You had no idea who the lady was?"
10029You had-- pardon these questions; I am putting this in your own interest-- you had at no time any acquaintance with Mr. Clement Henshaw?
10029You have heard of the new piece of evidence?
10029You have?
10029You know him?
10029You know it-- for certain?
10029You know who she was?
10029You mean he disappeared quite early in the evening?
10029You think there is no deep feeling under the ice of her manner?
10029You were there?
10029You will come with me?
10029You won? 10029 You, Mr. Gifford?
10029You-- you tell me all that,he cried,"and expect me to believe it?"
10029You? 10029 Your own?"
10029''Is there a room upstairs where we can talk?''
10029''You are in love with another man?''
10029----?"
10029About six- and- thirty, I should say; eh, Hugh?"
10029An accident?"
10029And if I had confided in him, and he had horsewhipped Henshaw, what good could that have done?
10029And on whose do you suppose it is?"
10029Any idea of the cause of the sad business?"
10029Anything wrong?"
10029Are you going to church?"
10029Besides, who would be likely to want to play tricks here?
10029But neither of us imbibed a particularly high opinion of the sportsman, did we, Hugh?"
10029But what do you think of this?
10029But who could have foreseen the result?
10029But why not wait till the family returns?
10029CHAPTER II THE STAINED FLOWERS"What do you think of our acquaintance?"
10029CHAPTER VIII KELSON''S PERPLEXITY"What do you think of Mr. Gervase Henshaw?"
10029CHAPTER XII HAD HENSHAW A CLUE?
10029Can you account for it, Stent?"
10029Can you explain how the door of the top room in the tower comes to be locked with the key inside?"
10029Can you throw any light on his movements down here?"
10029Clement commit suicide?
10029Could it be possible?
10029Did not Wynford Place where we are going to- night belong to the Giffords?"
10029Did the doctor examine the body?"
10029Did the doctor say suicide?"
10029Did you see him, Harry?"
10029Did you, Painswick?"
10029Did you, inspector?"
10029Do n''t you agree, Captain Kelson?"
10029Do n''t you agree, Edith?"
10029Do n''t you remember, Hugh?"
10029Do n''t you think so, Hugh?"
10029Do you remember?"
10029For how could I even pretend to deny his story?
10029Gifford?"
10029Gifford?"
10029Gifford?"
10029Had Gifford, his mind obsessed by Henshaw, jumped to a false conclusion?
10029Has Henshaw made any move?"
10029Has Henshaw turned up yet?"
10029Has anything more come to light?"
10029Has he met with an accident?"
10029Have you any idea, however far- fetched, as to what really may have happened?"
10029Have you found it?"
10029He has threatened you in order to induce you to elope with him?"
10029He speculated whether she might be wondering how much he knew; was he cognisant of her meeting with Henshaw?
10029He stays at your hotel, does he not?"
10029Henshaw?"
10029His brother?"
10029His first thought had been, could this last discovery be accountable for what he had seen that afternoon?
10029How can you account for it?"
10029How did he die?
10029How did it come there?
10029How in the name of all that''s mysterious can it be accounted for?"
10029How otherwise could this astounding familiarity be arrived at?
10029How?"
10029In answer to Kelson''s,"Well, Dick?"
10029Is any one in there?"
10029Is he very--""Objectionable?"
10029Is n''t it queer?
10029Is n''t that so, Hugh?"
10029Is not that only fair?"
10029Is that not so?"
10029It was therefore in a tone of confidence and relief that he demanded,"You can prove it?"
10029Marriage?
10029May I ask what prompted you to ask the question?"
10029May I call later on and tell you the result?"
10029May I keep this?
10029May I see it?"
10029May he go up now?"
10029Near the tower?"
10029No?"
10029Now what was he to do?
10029Once he asked,"Did my brother dance much?"
10029Perhaps, in view of this latest development, you may have knowledge to go upon of some one from whom your brother might have apprehended danger?"
10029Presently he asked,"How did you get on to- day-- I mean with Colonel Tredworth?"
10029Since when have you become so cautious?"
10029So will you come?
10029Supposing the girl was not mistaken who do you think the person seen escaping from the window could have been?"
10029That would afford a sufficient motive for my killing him; and how could I prove that I did not strike the blow?"
10029The body-- is it here?"
10029The puzzle is, what on earth has become of him?"
10029The question now is-- who was the person who was seen descending from the window?"
10029Then Gifford saw his eyes seek hers as he added:"Where was it found?
10029Then how did the determined pursuer contrive to leave him and the key inside the locked room?"
10029Then suddenly facing round again he said sharply to Gifford,"Have you anything to add, sir, to what your friend has told me?"
10029Then suddenly he demanded,"Beyond the fact that the door was found locked from within, what reason have you for your conclusion?"
10029There could be no doubt that the lady was Edith Morriston; and the man?
10029To Gifford the thought was monstrous; yet if it should be that Henshaw had information which put the girl in his power, what could she do?
10029Today is the 16th; on this day month I shall hear from you?"
10029Was it possible that this man could have found out something connecting Edith Morriston with his brother''s death?
10029Was it--?"
10029Well, Sprules?"
10029Were you in the middle room of the tower during the dance?"
10029What are we to say to him?"
10029What could I do?
10029What could that have had to do with it?"
10029What did it mean?
10029What did it portend?
10029What do you make of it?"
10029What do you mean?"
10029What do you mean?"
10029What do you say?"
10029What do you think, Hugh?"
10029What do you think?
10029What has he done?"
10029What is the sister like?"
10029What monstrous idea have you got in your head?
10029What was that?
10029What''s this?"
10029What, in heaven''s name, do you mean?"
10029Where did you go to?"
10029Where is Mr. Gervase Henshaw, or any one else, going to look for the criminal?"
10029Where is he?"
10029Who found the marks?"
10029Why not?"
10029Why should I not simply pass the rope behind the stanchion and use it doubled?
10029Why should I?
10029Why should it not be?"
10029Why so?"
10029Why was he waiting there?
10029Why, he wondered, had she not done so?
10029Why, indeed, should Henshaw be hanging about in the grounds of Wynford, and give so unconvincing a reason?
10029Why?"
10029Why?"
10029Will you look for yourself, sir?"
10029Will you meet me to- morrow morning at half- past ten by the summer- house near the wood that runs up to James''farm?
10029Will you see for yourself, sir?"
10029Would they turn and put the man''s identity beyond uncertainty?
10029Would you care to hear a short account of what happened?"
10029Wrong type of sportsman, eh?"
10029Wynford has not passed into the hands of some Jew millionaire or City speculator, but has gone to a gentleman, a good fellow and a sportsman, eh?"
10029You are staying at the_ Lion_?"
10029You know he proposed at the dance?"
10029You know him?"
10029You know it?"
10029You mean--?"
10029You will let me consult you again, if necessary?
10029You will wish to see it?"
10029who?"
10585A lady to see me?
10585And Stellman?
10585And are you going to search all that area? 10585 And his name?"
10585And how are we to know that there are not some steps here? 10585 And now, if I may ask the question, when will you be ready to begin your search?
10585And pray how did you find that out?
10585And pray how did you know that they had called in my assistance?
10585And so you are to dine with your prisoner to- night?
10585And supposing you are unsuccessful in obtaining the money or the gems?
10585And the man?
10585And this particular business?
10585And those conditions?
10585And what about them?
10585And what form did your punishment take?
10585And what happened to Stellman?
10585And when it is over?
10585And why have you come to me? 10585 And why should you be sorry?"
10585And will you do so?
10585And you could n''t see your way to it?
10585And you find it difficult to assimilate that kind heart with the remorseless detective of Public Life?
10585And you purchased them?
10585Anything wrong?
10585Are you joking, or is this sober earnest?
10585Are you sure it was from Yunnan?
10585As a matter of fact,he continued,"we have sent for you to know whether you can offer us any assistance in our hour of difficulty?
10585Before we go in,I said,"would it not be as well to be prepared for any emergencies?
10585But he may be at the other end of the world at this moment?
10585But how am I to know that this is not another trick on your part, and that you wo n''t be clearing out of Paris within a few hours? 10585 But how big are the ruins?"
10585But how did it all come about?
10585But how did you manage to gain admittance to this house?
10585But how do you know all this?
10585But how do you know that my heart is kind?
10585But how do you know that the treasure has n''t been taken away years ago? 10585 But if you were so lucky and so much in love with your profession, how does it come about that you are in England now?"
10585But that does n''t tell you where the treasure- chamber is?
10585But what guarantee had you that the stones were not stolen?
10585But what has this Sengkor- Wat to do with it?
10585But what possible reason could this individual have for calling upon me, and why should he have made me such an offer as I have described to you?
10585But why have you not come to me before?
10585But why not? 10585 But why?"
10585By that I am to presume that you intended if possible to swindle them out of their share?
10585By the way, while I am upon the subject, I suppose I can rely upon your saying nothing about the matter to him, or to any one else?
10585By the way,I said,"does this man Hayle know that you are in England?"
10585Can this letter have been a hoax, an attempt to draw me off the scent? 10585 Can you not see for yourself?"
10585Can you not see that I am blind, while my companion is dumb? 10585 Could I not go to my uncle?"
10585Dead?
10585Did I understand you to say Gideon Hayle?
10585Did he wear a beard?
10585Did n''t you see him?
10585Did you happen to say anything about this to the other detectives when they were making inquiries after the crime had been committed?
10585Did you happen to see him?
10585Did you see that?
10585Disappeared?
10585Do I understand you to say that a gentleman from this office called upon you?
10585Do you happen to be aware,I asked, when we touched upon the one absorbing topic,"whether the unfortunate gentleman had ever been in Europe?"
10585Do you happen to know whether he sold any more of a similar kind in London?
10585Do you know whether he shipped on board the_ Jemadar_ for England under his own name, or under an assumed one?
10585Do you mean to tell me that the gentleman I am asking about was here this morning?
10585Do you remember Paulus Scevanovitch, who was concerned in that attempt to defraud the Parisian jewellers, Maurel and Company, two years ago?
10585Does n''t he know what he is about? 10585 First and foremost, do you know where you are and who I am?"
10585From what I know of him, Gideon Hayle was always----"Gideon what?
10585Full?
10585Has Hayle any knowledge of the value of precious stones?
10585Has he gone mad?
10585Has the man of whom we are speaking done very wrong?
10585Has the suspicion not struck you that they were going to clear out and leave you here to starve?
10585Hate him, why should we hate him? 10585 Have you any idea where the man went after he robbed you?"
10585Have you any idea where they have disappeared to?
10585Have you discovered anything else about him?
10585Have you ever heard of one, Coddy?
10585He does not accompany you to church then?
10585Here, when?
10585How do I know it?
10585How do you know that we_ do_ hate him?
10585How do you know that?
10585How do you know where the man may be at this moment?
10585How many of the gems have you realized upon?
10585How so?
10585I am to tell exactly what I think about their pursuit of this man Hayle? 10585 I hope there is nothing against him?"
10585I hope you do not think, Mr. Fairfax, that we are endeavouring to play you false? 10585 I see, and not being successful on your first attempt, you followed me again to- night, of course by his instructions as before?"
10585I suppose this place is not full?
10585I suppose you never heard him say whether he had lived in Italy?
10585I suppose you will be staying at the same place?
10585I thought you said a flight of stone steps led up to where the king''s throne was placed?
10585I trust you will forgive me, but can you substantiate what you say?
10585I understand you to mean that he will not entertain my offer?
10585I wonder what they are doing at Bishopstowe now?
10585If you really wish it, I do not see why you should not go?
10585In that case he would, in all probability, know where to place them to the best advantage?
10585In that case, do you mind shaking hands upon it?
10585In the first place, did your late father ever speak to you of his brother as being a missionary in China?
10585Is it permissible to ask what you were thinking about?
10585Is this the first occasion on which he has stayed here?
10585It is doubtless for that reason you called upon me, representing yourself to be Mr. Bayley, Managing Director of that South American Mining Company? 10585 It''s a pity he should not see some one, and I suppose you will not keep your appointment?"
10585It''s full of cockroaches and mildew, if that''s what you mean?
10585It''s just possible they may have done so, of course,said Kitwater,"but how are we to know?
10585Kitwater?
10585May I ask what brought you to Paris, Miss Kitwater?
10585May I ask why you are sorry?
10585May I have a word with you, Señor Gairdi?
10585May we not substitute''woman''?
10585Might it not be a pure coincidence?
10585Miss Kitwater?
10585Miss Kitwater?
10585Moustache?
10585Mr. Fairfax,she began,"you are the great detective, I believe?"
10585Must I go ashore with you?
10585My friend wants to know if you are aware of that man''s name?
10585My friend''s a long time coming down,I said,"I hope he has not gone out to breakfast?"
10585Ninety- three?
10585No, but you''ve got a use for other things, have n''t you? 10585 No?
10585Now then, Gideon, my worthy friend, what have you got to say about the business?
10585Now, let''s hear what you''ve got to say to me?
10585Now, my men,I began,"what''s the meaning of this?
10585Now,said Gregory, when Dempsey had been made familiar with the other''s story,"what is it you want to know about the man we picked up?
10585On what charge?
10585Perhaps when I return from Paris you will permit me to come down again to report progress?
10585Perhaps you can tell me if he slept here on the night of July the nineteenth?
10585Perhaps you will now be good enough to tell me what that business is?
10585Perhaps you will tell me what you suspect?
10585Perhaps you will think it over,he continued,"and let me know, say to- morrow?"
10585See who?
10585Sengkor how much?
10585Should you require my assistance then, I shall be most pleased to give it to you?
10585So you have heard of her, have you?
10585Some poor devil got lost in the jungle, I suppose? 10585 Surely I understood you to say that your client, the gentleman who had lost his sight through Hayle''s treachery, was Monsieur Kitwater?"
10585That''s all very well, but what became of the Frenchman? 10585 The only question in my mind is, who shall get it for you?
10585Then am I right in interpreting your trouble as being connected with your uncle?
10585Then do you think my uncle will find it out and follow him?
10585Then it''s just possible you may know where he is staying now?
10585Then the gentleman who called upon me yesterday, and who has the misfortune to be blind, is your uncle?
10585Then where is he?
10585Then why do n''t you? 10585 Then you could pity them?
10585Then you know where he is, and can take us to him?
10585They are aware of his address in Paris, are they not?
10585They are dining at the Café des Ambassadeurs to- night, did you say? 10585 To what am I indebted for the honour of this visit, mademoiselles?"
10585Trading over the border alone?
10585Was he carrying a rug and a bag?
10585Was it one of our own men do you think?
10585Well, Dickson,I said, when I had bade the detective_ au revoir_,"what about our man?"
10585Well, suppose it is, what makes you send for me?
10585Well,I said,"before I begin, may I put one or two questions to you?
10585What I want to be certain of is, whether I am serving you or your uncle?
10585What can I do for you?
10585What can I have the pleasure of doing for you?
10585What did I tell you?
10585What do you call it?
10585What do you mean by already arranged?
10585What do you mean?
10585What do you think we had better do with him?
10585What does this mean?
10585What for?
10585What has occurred to make you change your mind so suddenly?
10585What have you found, little man?
10585What have you got to do with him? 10585 What is going to happen then?
10585What is it you want me to do?
10585What is it you want?
10585What is it?
10585What is it?
10585What is it?
10585What is it?
10585What is the information you require? 10585 What is the matter with the driver?"
10585What is to be done?
10585What name shall I say, sir?
10585What on earth have you got there, man?
10585What on earth is the matter with him?
10585What on earth''s the meaning of this?
10585What the deuce does it mean?
10585What was he like?
10585What were you about to say?
10585What would you like to be? 10585 What''s it got to do with me what a fare does?
10585What''s the matter, Dempsey?
10585What''s the matter?
10585When did the_ Jemadar_ reach London?
10585When did you arrive?
10585When did you first become aware that they were in London?
10585Where d''ye think ye''d be a- seein''''i m? 10585 Where do you expect to find the great temple and the courtyard of the Three Elephants''Heads?"
10585Where is the Short''Un, as you call him?
10585While we are on the subject, what do you suppose would be the total value of the treasure of which he robbed you?
10585Who are these men? 10585 Who do you think is going to rob us of it?
10585Who do you think you saw?
10585Who is she?
10585Who on earth can she be?
10585Why not go into lunch?
10585Why should you hate him so?
10585Why under an assumed name when, according to your story, you had nothing to fear?
10585Will you forgive me, in my turn, if I am abrupt, or if I speak my mind a little too plainly?
10585Wot''s up, guvner?
10585Would it be impertinent on my part to ask at what time yesterday afternoon you arrived at this momentous decision?
10585Would it not be possible for it to be on account of both reasons?
10585You are Mr. Fairfax, are you not?
10585You are not full, I suppose?
10585You ca n''t give me an inkling of what it is to- night, I suppose?
10585You ca n''t tell me anything more definite about this gentleman, I suppose?
10585You did not approve then of my being imported into the case?
10585You did not hear whether he had any precious stones in his possession?
10585You do n''t happen to have a photograph of him in your possession, I suppose?
10585You do n''t mean to tell me that you are in earnest?
10585You do n''t think I''ve ate him, do yer?
10585You do n''t think they watched us at work in that courtyard, do you?
10585You have been suspicious then?
10585You knew them, then, when they were missionaries in China, I suppose?
10585You will do this for them?
10585You will follow them to Palermo?
10585''You need n''t be suspicious, Cabby,''sez he,''I''ll make it suverings, if you like, and half a one over for luck, if that will satisfy yer?
10585And I understand you to say that the gentleman who put you up to it, is to be at the back of St. Martin''s church to- night?"
10585And now is there any other way in which I can serve you?
10585And now that we have discussed all this, Mr. Fairfax, what do you think we had better do?
10585And now to resume our conversation?"
10585And now where are you going?"
10585And what chances of success I think they possess?"
10585And where did you find them?"
10585Anything by which we should be able to swear to his identity?"
10585Are you aware whether he has any friends or relatives in England?"
10585Are you quite sure of this?"
10585Are you quite sure, Mr. Fairfax, that it is out of the question for you to undertake what we want?"
10585At what time?"
10585Before I explain what it is, may I ask that you will treat what I am about to tell you as purely confidential?"
10585But I am keeping you standing, wo n''t you sit down somewhere and tell me your news?
10585But how was I to get a view of his hands?
10585But if he could command himself he would probably get his money?
10585But in that case how did the knife touch the middle finger of his left hand?
10585But since you have seen her you probably know that?"
10585But when we get hold of him, we''ll-- well, we''ll let him see what we can do, wo n''t we, old boy?
10585But why make such a fuss about it?
10585By the way, are you aware that your niece called upon me this morning?"
10585By the way, have you heard from our friend, Kitwater, yet?"
10585Can you realize what it is like to feel shut up in the dark, waiting and longing always for only one thing?
10585Can you take us to a place where we can procure food?
10585Can you tell me how many there were of each?"
10585Can you wonder that we are anxious to find him?"
10585Codd?"
10585Could you not let me come to Paris with you to- morrow?"
10585Did she know more about her uncle and his past life than she liked to think about?
10585Did you happen to notice that night, or before he left next day, whether he had hurt his left hand?"
10585Did you not receive my message?"
10585Do n''t you know it?
10585Do you agree?"
10585Do you happen to be acquainted with a certain Mademoiselle Beaumarais?"
10585Do you know my office?"
10585Do you know that he and Mr. Codd have disappeared?"
10585Do you think they were such fools as to leave it behind when they went elsewhere?
10585Does it not seem to you quite possible that your uncle''s rage might lead him to do something desperate, in order to revenge himself upon the other?
10585Does n''t it strike you that it would be better to fill our pockets while we''ve the chance?
10585Even while you were robbing them?"
10585FAIRFAX?''
10585FAIRFAX?''
10585Fairfax?"
10585Fairfax?"
10585Fairfax?"
10585Fairfax?"
10585Fairfax?"
10585Fairfax?"
10585First and foremost you have been told the story of the stones I possess?"
10585Gregory replied that he had not noticed anything extraordinary, but Dempsey was by no means so forgetful?
10585Had he realized his life''s ambition?
10585Has the wretched man gone there?"
10585Has there been another big robbery of stones, and you think it possible that some of them may have come into our hands?"
10585Have I guessed correctly?"
10585Have you any idea where our man has gone?"
10585He''s not a pretty sight, is he?"
10585How could it very well be otherwise?
10585How do you know that he is n''t back there again filling his pockets?"
10585How do you know that your man may not bungle it, and that we may not lose him again?"
10585How much longer was the chase going to last?
10585How on earth did he guess this?
10585How shall I act?"
10585I asked myself, or were they trying to interest me in the case by exaggerating the value of the treasure?
10585I believe I am right in saying that you have an Italian gentleman, named Gairdi, staying at your hotel?"
10585I can not understand why he is dallying in Paris so long?"
10585I can see no difficulty in it?"
10585I cried,"what does this mean?"
10585I hope you have good news for us?"
10585I inquired of the clerk;"and did anything strike you as peculiar about him or his appearance?"
10585I presume that it was your bag I saw in the_ concierge''s_ office, when I was there just now?"
10585I suppose you have had nothing to eat since you left England?"
10585I think you know how grateful I am to you, do you not?"
10585I trust you will forgive me?"
10585I wonder what my curtains are like?
10585I wonder where the beggar hails from?"
10585I wonder who she is,--wife, sister, daughter, or what, of the blind man?"
10585If he imagined his old companions to be dead, why should he be so anxious that his own identity, and his place of residence, should remain a secret?
10585If, on the other hand, they do not meet, then what is to be done?
10585In that case what would the assassin be likely to do after his object was obtained?
10585In the first place I have no desire to offend you, but how am I to know that the story you tell me is a true one?"
10585Is it not possible for you to discover some trace of his whereabouts?"
10585Is n''t that so, little man?"
10585Is not the word_ crustiness_ written plainly upon my forehead?"
10585Is that a fair offer?"
10585Is that not so?"
10585Is that not so?"
10585It will be rather a unique experience, detective and criminal dining together, will it not?
10585It''s scarcely his fault that we are not, is it?
10585May I ask what your terms would be, and when would you be prepared to start?"
10585May I inquire the nature of your business with me?"
10585Might I ask what he called upon you about?"
10585Now that I have replied to your questions, will you give me the answer I want?
10585Now what are your questions?"
10585Now what do you propose to do?"
10585Now will you think for one moment, and see whether you can tell me the exact day on which that letter arrived?"
10585Now, look here, my man, there''s some one else at the back of this business, and what I want to know is, who put you up to try your hand upon me?
10585Now, what are you going to do, and where are you going to take me?"
10585Of course you understand that it may involve a chase round half the world before you can find him?
10585Oh no, in course not?
10585Poor beggar, I wonder where he''s been, and what he has been up to?"
10585Pray let me know what I can do for you?"
10585Shall I hail him and point out his mistake?"
10585She died while Hayle was in North Borneo; is not that so, little man?"
10585She inquired whether I would care to see him?
10585Should I be very wrong if I suggested gems?"
10585So he had been aware of my presence there?
10585Supposing you find him, what will you do then?"
10585Surely it would not be so very difficult?"
10585Surely you are not going to tell me that they were stolen?"
10585Surely you must understand that?"
10585That he was the man I wanted I felt sure, for what would any one else be doing there at such an hour?
10585That is to say will you tell me what you think of the whole affair?"
10585The money he is lavishing on Mademoiselle Louise, whence does it come?
10585The question to be answered was, was the man I was after the same individual who had sold Jacob and Bulenthall the stones?
10585Then addressing the man, he continued,"Are you an Englishman, or what are you?"
10585Then he added,"But what about the secret?
10585Then the latter added,"What do you mean by that?"
10585Then turning to Gregory, he continued,"Perhaps, sir, you do n''t happen to remember whether he had any particular mark upon either of his wrists?"
10585There was a pause for a few seconds, after which the blind man began again--"He did n''t tell you, I suppose, whether he had any money about him?"
10585There was an old Chinese traveller who visited this place in the year... what was the year, Coddy?"
10585They ca n''t call in the assistance of the law----""Why not?"
10585They tell me it is a pretty place, but, as you are aware, I unfortunately can not see it, and my friend Codd here can not talk to me about it?"
10585To- day is Friday, is it not?
10585Upwards of a quarter of a million of money he stole from us, and where is it now?
10585Was it likely she would ever think twice of me?
10585We have no grudge against him, Coddy, my boy, have we?"
10585Were the men telling me the truth?
10585Were we wasting our time upon a fool''s errand when we set off to explore Sengkor- Wat?"
10585What I want to know is, who I am serving?"
10585What about that two bob the American gent give you?"
10585What amount do you think your clients would feel inclined to take in full settlement of their claim upon me?"
10585What an amount of trouble I should have been spared had I only known this before?
10585What could I say?
10585What did you get out of him?"
10585What do you say if we go below again?"
10585What do you say?"
10585What do you say?"
10585What do you think is the best thing to be done?"
10585What do you think, Codd?"
10585What do you think, little man?"
10585What do you want me to do?
10585What good had he done in his world?
10585What had he been like, this knight of the ferrule, who for twenty- seven years acted as pedagogue to this tiny hamlet?
10585What is he like?"
10585What on earth can she have to say to me?
10585What on earth did it all mean?
10585What possible reason could Mr. Bayley have for wanting to rid himself of me?
10585What shall I do?"
10585What shall we do now?"
10585What was I to say?
10585What''s the use of worrying about it?
10585When do you intend to commence business with your man?"
10585When you come to think of it, it is hard to come to the guillotine for a diamond that never existed, is it not?"
10585Where is my sight, and where is Coddy''s power of speech?
10585Which way did he go when he left here?"
10585Who knows what might happen before we can come again?"
10585Why did you refuse the dealers your name and address?"
10585Why do you wait until the case is at an end?"
10585Why should I have suspected him, however?
10585Why should I not do so since it was a very good excuse for keeping my man in sight?
10585Why should he have been likely to have had jewels?
10585Why the deuce was n''t I able to get Monsieur ashore?
10585Will that suit you?"
10585Will you be a workman, a pedlar, an elderly gentleman from the Provinces, or a street beggar?"
10585Will you not take pity upon us and help us to find the man who betrayed and ruined us?"
10585Will you place my offer before them, or will you not?"
10585Will you take Crême de Minthe-- Kümmel or Cognac?"
10585Will you then be satisfied?"
10585Wo n''t you sit down?"
10585Would he vanish into the Bush forthwith, or get away by sea?
10585Would it be possible for you to grant us an interview to- night?"
10585Would you care to hear it?"
10585Would you care to see the stones?
10585You are interested in that Englishman, of course?"
10585You are paying the money, I believe?"
10585You do n''t mean to say you think that letter had something to do with the man''s death?"
10585You do not still believe that I am acting in collusion with him?"
10585You have found Hayle?"
10585You know our old friends, Levenstein and Schartzer?"
10585You of course are aware of the serious trouble the bank has experienced, and of the terrible consequences which have resulted therefrom?"
10585You robbed us of our treasure, did you?
10585You see it''s this way: you know Sengkor- Wat?"
10585You speak Russian, do you not?"
10585You wanted to get me out of the way in order that I might not hunt you?
10585You would n''t have had me leave them in the jungle, surely?"
10585You would n''t keep it carefully for me, would you?
10585[ Illustration:"''LET''S OUT HIM, BILL,''SAID THE TALLER OF THE TWO MEN"]"Do you see this?"
10585wo n''t you believe me, when I say that I saw his pigtail?"
19335A mystery?
19335After he sent you the warning note?
19335Again I ask, can I trust you?
19335Ah, I see; but who is the original?
19335Ah, that is a part of my amusement; but here, let''s see if you know anything? 19335 Ah, your governess?"
19335All of them?
19335All right, I am to hold you alone responsible for this?
19335Alone?
19335Alone?
19335And Alphonse knew of your generosity to his mother?
19335And I repeat why did you desire to see me?
19335And do you believe he sent you the warning note?
19335And her name?
19335And she married an Italian?
19335And then I will surely find him at home?
19335And then you met her in Paris?
19335And then?
19335And this man, you think, has bewitched her?
19335And what does it portend?
19335And what is your ambition?
19335And what is your theory?
19335And what was your purpose?
19335And what would you do?
19335And will I be compelled to wait until to- night?
19335And you are willing that I should warn him?
19335And you did not see her until many years afterward?
19335And you have met?
19335And you have no special business with me?
19335And you insist upon it?
19335And you want me to go over to the grove?
19335And you wanted him captured as a burglar?
19335And you will guide me?
19335And you will meet me to guide me to his home?
19335And your money is in that house?
19335Answer me one more question: Have you communicated with him since he has been in America?
19335Answer me one question: are you a criminal, and do you fear to live?
19335Are the rare souvenirs there?
19335Are we right?
19335Are you a fool or do you take me to be a fool?
19335Are you under any obligations to him?
19335Arrested?
19335As we detectives say?
19335At what hour shall I come here?
19335Believing me to be connected with the gang?
19335But has he not to your knowledge led a rather fast life in Paris?
19335But you desired to see me?
19335Can I trust you?
19335Can you form the least idea as to who this friend, or rather this so- called friend is? 19335 Can you not go and show me where his house is located, and then I can call upon him at my leisure?"
19335Did he bleed you?
19335Did he ever to your knowledge commit a crime?
19335Did he have visitors at the house where I first met you?
19335Did she run away and get married?
19335Did they send over a description?
19335Did you address him?
19335Did you ever behold the original?
19335Did you ever hear it whispered that he was a criminal?
19335Did you ever see this young man?
19335Did you know it was all over?
19335Did you recognize any of them?
19335Did you see their faces?
19335Did your aunt ever see him?
19335Do I?
19335Do his neighbors know his character?
19335Do not know what?
19335Do you know a young lady named Fennetti?
19335Do you know him?
19335Do you know that he is in New York?
19335Do you know that it was a nobleman?
19335Do you know the basis of Mrs. Frewen''s prejudice against you?
19335Do you know the risk you take?
19335Do you know,he said,"I once had a run in with----?"
19335Do you live in these houses?
19335Do you really go alone to meet Argetti?
19335Do you think he''s there?
19335Do you wish me to go with you?
19335Do you?
19335Fight you, my friend?
19335For me to determine?
19335For what offense?
19335For what purpose?
19335Governess to whom-- yourself?
19335Had you any grounds for suspecting me?
19335Has your niece?
19335Have you a photograph of any members of the family that was robbed?
19335Have you any articles of special value in the house?
19335Have you any grounds for believing that he is a criminal?
19335Have you any proofs against them?
19335Have you any suspicion as to your real parentage?
19335Have you come here to amuse yourself at my expense?
19335Have you made any discoveries?
19335Have you positive evidence that the young man is the villain you believe him to be?
19335Have you reason to suspect that he is?
19335Have you seen him?
19335He has revealed to you more than his mother ever revealed to your aunt?
19335He is not?
19335He is to meet you to- night?
19335He merely sought to revenge his pals on you; but now what shall we do?
19335He was under arrest?
19335His mother still resides in France?
19335His name?
19335His parentage-- do you know his parentage?
19335How about the''swag,''Dunne?
19335How can they aid me? 19335 How could he desert his French wife and marry an Italian woman?"
19335How did you come out with him?
19335How did you pick him up?
19335How do you know I am a detective?
19335How do you know he is English?
19335How do you know that I do?
19335How do you know?
19335How have I failed?
19335How it is he lives in such miserable quarters?
19335How long ago?
19335How old is she now?
19335How so?
19335How would he know of the intended robbery?
19335How?
19335How?
19335How?
19335How?
19335How?
19335How?
19335How?
19335How?
19335How?
19335I am your prisoner?
19335I can rely upon your honor that what passes between us shall be strictly confidential?
19335I can trust you?
19335I can?
19335I did?
19335I do?
19335I have every reason to believe that he is, and I think the evidence can be secured to convict him; but why should he seek to marry your niece?
19335I have given your life away?
19335I have not?
19335I never saw the young man, how should I know anything concerning his character?
19335I suppose you had a great many friends in Paris?
19335I told you I had never seen or spoken to Alphonse Donetti?
19335I will not get far?
19335I will not, but will not your aunt miss you?
19335In New York?
19335In a matter purely personal?
19335In what direction?
19335In what way-- simply because his mother was poor?
19335Is he?
19335Is he?
19335Is it a warning?
19335Is it far from here?
19335Is it not possible that the young man has been wronged and is innocent?
19335Is it not possible that your niece is right?
19335Is it possible you gave me this picture with a purpose?
19335Is that man''s name Argetti?
19335Is that so, madam?
19335Is the man''s name Argetti whom we are to meet?
19335Is there any one whom you suspect of wishing to scare you?
19335It do n''t?
19335It is unfortunate under the present circumstances; but, miss, what public character is the original of that photograph?
19335It is?
19335Madam, are you sure you have made a discovery?
19335Madam, have you an album?
19335Madam, what do you mean? 19335 Madam, what is your name, please?"
19335Making evidence?
19335No doubt; but now what can I do for you?
19335Not your maid?
19335Often?
19335Oh, do you know where he lives?
19335Oh, yes; I feel better to- day; but whom have we here?
19335Oh, you will?
19335On what business?
19335On what do you found your suspicions?
19335One moment; do you wish it to be established that he is a criminal, whether he is or not?
19335Plainly enough to identify them in case you had known them?
19335Presents from Argetti?
19335Right, how?
19335Save me?
19335Save mine?
19335She spoke Italian?
19335She was a Frenchwoman?
19335Spitzanni?
19335Still you have no objection to my seeing it?
19335Suppose he is English?
19335Thank you, and I am to understand that my request is granted?
19335That is square between a square man and a thief?
19335That is your request?
19335That''s all?
19335The discoveries I make concerning this man?
19335The victim of another man?
19335The young man Alphonse Donetti?
19335Then he has met with other losses?
19335Then how do you know he has those confederates? 19335 Then there are none of your Paris friends whom you would suspect as the author of that warning note?"
19335Then why did you come here?
19335Then why do you fear he may be with the robbers to- night?
19335Then why do you wish to die?
19335Then why your excitement when you beheld the photograph?
19335Then you conclude his mother married an Italian?
19335Then you do know him?
19335Then you have another book?
19335Then you think it''s no use to start in?
19335These are the stolen goods?
19335They do n''t know whether the man is an Italian or not?
19335This young man''s name is Donetti?
19335Those fellows did n''t give you the pointers to get a whack at the reward offered on me?
19335To establish what?
19335Unfortunate?
19335Upon what?
19335Very well, madam; on what business do you desire to consult me about?
19335Was Donetti her married name?
19335Was I betrayed?
19335Was I excited?
19335Was he a sober, industrious young man?
19335Was he justified?
19335Was_ he_ among them?
19335We will go?
19335Well, what is your purpose?
19335Well, what now?
19335Well?
19335Well?
19335What are we to do?
19335What could have been his object?
19335What created your aunt''s interest in the young man?
19335What did you do with Argetti?
19335What difference does it make to you?
19335What do you mean, sir?
19335What do you mean?
19335What do you mean?
19335What do you mean?
19335What do you want?
19335What has all that to do with the fact that you knew my address?
19335What have we struck?
19335What have you learned?
19335What is his general character?
19335What is his purpose?
19335What is his real name?
19335What is it you demand?
19335What is it you want to know?
19335What is it?
19335What is it?
19335What is the character of the young man?
19335What is the mystery?
19335What is your name?
19335What relation do you bear to these men?
19335What shall we do?
19335What will you do?
19335What would you have me do?
19335What''s the matter?
19335What?
19335When and where?
19335When and where?
19335When did I express such a desire?
19335When you were abroad where did you reside principally?
19335When?
19335Where can I fight you?
19335Where did this thing drop from?
19335Where did you see him last?
19335Where is Tommy?
19335Where is he?
19335Where is the house of Argetti in New York located?
19335Where is the young man?
19335Where will you go? 19335 Where?"
19335Where?
19335Where?
19335Who is he, Dunne?
19335Who is the man you were struggling with?
19335Who is the party?
19335Who is the young lady who called for the answer to the advertisement?
19335Who said anything about arrest?
19335Who was the man?
19335Who would be likely to know the fact?
19335Who?
19335Whom did she marry?
19335Why did you ask about Alphonse Donetti?
19335Why did you not seek me?
19335Why did you send for me?
19335Why do you ask?
19335Why do you ask?
19335Why do you assume that Alphonse will be one of the robbers?
19335Why do you not seek an explanation of such an extraordinary request?
19335Why do you not tell me all about it?
19335Why do you say that?
19335Why do you warn me? 19335 Why do you wish to die?"
19335Why not, my child?
19335Why not?
19335Why not?
19335Why not?
19335Why not?
19335Why should he assault me?
19335Why should you be when you expressed a desire to see me?
19335Why?
19335Why?
19335Why?
19335Why?
19335Will you believe me?
19335Will you explain just what you are getting at?
19335Will you go?
19335Will you leave the decision with me?
19335Will you let me look at it?
19335Will you let me see the articles?
19335Will you let me take you to a lodging where your condition will not attract attention?
19335Will you meet me to- morrow?
19335Will you see him?
19335Will you speak plainly, madam?
19335You are firm in your trust in his honor and good character?
19335You are not seeking for a fight, are you?
19335You are sure you will not be jealous?
19335You are sure?
19335You are?
19335You are?
19335You believe he is in New York?
19335You can give me no comfort?
19335You can not explain why you make such a strange request?
19335You can not think of any one who would be apt to know that you had articles of special value in the house?
19335You captured the burglars?
19335You dare tell me you are here to have fun at my expense?
19335You did?
19335You do n''t doubt it?
19335You do n''t?
19335You do not keep pictures of your friends?
19335You do not know?
19335You do not want me to thrash you, do you?
19335You fully comprehend what I have said?
19335You have a reason for your conclusion?
19335You have captured them?
19335You have certain men under arrest?
19335You have no evidence?
19335You have no reason to suspect that Alphonse Donetti is in the United States, in fact in New York?
19335You have?
19335You intend to keep me a prisoner?
19335You know his real name?
19335You know that I have advised you in all sincerity?
19335You know there is risk?
19335You only suspect?
19335You saw their faces?
19335You say Madam Donetti was a handsome young lady?
19335You say he gave you jewels?
19335You swear it?
19335You think I am a mere puppet for your amusement?
19335You understand?
19335You were not engaged in any criminal acts?
19335You will be there at nine?
19335You will keep my secret?
19335You will not betray me?
19335You will not even reveal the fact that I met you?
19335You wish to see Signor Argetti personally?
19335You wished to see me on business?
19335You worked it out yourself?
19335Your life is forfeited?
19335Again the lads in chorus"hee, hee, hee- d.""Boys, what have we struck?"
19335Are you acquainted with Alphonse Donetti?"
19335Can you believe that money will tempt me to commit a murder?"
19335Dunne?"
19335Finally she asked:"Will you tell me why you wish to meet Argetti?"
19335Frewen?"
19335Have you any evidence that he is in America?"
19335Have you the least suspicion as to his identity?"
19335He appeared to stop and think, and the girl asked:"Shall I guide you?"
19335He assisted him into the carriage and asked:"Where shall we drive?"
19335He was the cool- headed, nervy man to do it, however, and he said:"Will you furnish me the direction?"
19335How did you establish my identity?"
19335I am ready to believe what you tell me, and how is it you know about me?"
19335I was fooling you-- hee, hee, hee-- but do n''t you know why the irons were put on you?"
19335Is your name Argetti?"
19335It was about eight o''clock, and as the last two came in they asked the man who was there ahead of them:"Have you been up to take a peep?"
19335Mrs. Frewen had been an interested listener to the conversation, and turning to the aunt our hero said:"You know this young man?"
19335Now let us see-- what shall we do?"
19335Our hero had his prisoner, and the question arose, What should he do with him?
19335Our hero stopped short, stepped toward the stoop on which the girl was sitting, and asked:"Do you speak English?"
19335The detective did not smile, however, but the regret shot through his mind:"Why in thunder did I chance to pitch upon that name?"
19335The detective gazed aghast as he exclaimed:"And you still maintain his integrity?"
19335The detective meditated and then asked:"Do you know that Donetti is in New York?"
19335The detective read and re- read the missive and finally asked in a simple sort of way:"Who sent this, madam?"
19335The dude stopped short, gazed at them with a smile which was all simplicity and asked:"Can you boys tell me where Maggie''s aunt lives around here?
19335The face of Alice became ghastly as her aunt asked:"Alice, why do you show such interest in this criminal?"
19335The girl burst into tears and exclaimed:"I am at your mercy; what shall I do?"
19335The girl looked around in a furtive manner and said:"Can I advise you?"
19335The girl recognized that indeed she had betrayed herself, and in a tone of distress she muttered:"Oh, what shall I do?"
19335The girl started and exclaimed:"Then you know he is in America?"
19335The girl upon reaching the cabin rapped on the door and from the inside came the demand:"Who''s there?"
19335The men all laughed and one of them said:"I reckon he will not tackle you again?"
19335The men all laughed and one said:"So you''ve heard nothing from our sweet little dude, eh?"
19335The men trembled and one asked:"What will we do?"
19335The old lady dropped her voice and her utterance was husky as she asked:"What evidence have you?"
19335Then he knows of my intended visit?"
19335Then they dealt for the watch and pin, and finally the question was asked:"What shall we do with him?"
19335We can have a quiet game and take our refreshments,"and addressing the bartender the man asked:"Are you putting up the best every time, Sandy?"
19335What do you mean?
19335What do you say for a little game with a light ante?"
19335What have you struck now?"
19335When the girl returned the man asked, as she entered the room, he speaking in Italian:"Who is he?"
19335Why should I be warned?"
19335Will you aid me?"
19335Will you return to Italy?"
19335You knew that your father was dead?"
19335You wished to see me?"
19335are you his affianced wife?"
19335ejaculated our hero,"is that all?"
19335has his handsome face bewitched you?"
19335said one of the boys, and a second queried:"What is it?"
19335what have you there-- a dead body?"
19335you have already deceived me?"
19335you have an answer already?"
19335you?"
18613''Accept the maiden as an unworthy gift,''he began--''Her price?''
18613''Are you disengaged?'' 18613 ''Then why not take it to Scotland Yard?''
18613A native song:''If a cup of wine is drunk, and I have drunk it, what of that?''
18613A patient? 18613 Ai n''t I one o''yer oldest customers, Pidgin?"
18613Am I, by any chance, in danger of sharing the fate of that distinguished surgeon?
18613An alternative to my returning to China? 18613 An old cab?"
18613And I?
18613And he knows,continued the metallic voice,"''how to deal with Chunda Lal''?
18613And if it is written that I succeed?
18613And if they recognize, but are helpless?
18613And in that event how shall you act?
18613And is Dr. Stuart agreeable to placing his unusual knowledge at our disposal for the purposes of this case?
18613And now-- the lady: about what would be her age?
18613And now?
18613And what is the weapon which the cowled man( who may be''The Scorpion'') uses to remove Dr. Stuart? 18613 And when, exactly, did you hear this Warning?"
18613And you know of no other house which might be selected for such a purpose as I have mentioned?
18613And you?
18613And you?
18613And_ for_ what?
18613Anything to report, Sowerby?
18613Arabic? 18613 Are you disengaged?"
18613Are you prepared to take the chance?
18613Are you sure that there is no other in your own?
18613Are you sure?
18613Are you sure?
18613At what bank?
18613But I was thinking-- I can not help thinking..."How wicked I am?
18613But can you not tell me what it all means? 18613 But he was n''t actually drunk?"
18613But tell me-- do you know where it is-- the lair of''The Scorpion''?
18613But what does it represent?
18613But what is the point,asked Dr. Stuart,"in leaving it here?"
18613But where is''The Scorpion''?
18613Can I be of any assistance to mademoiselle?
18613Can it really be, M. Max, that we have to deal with an upcrop of some deeply- seated evil which resides in the Far East? 18613 Complexion?"
18613Covering his face?
18613Dark or fair?
18613Did I not,he whispered, with an intense ardour in his soft voice,--"did I not lay my life, my service, all I have, at your feet?
18613Did it not surprise_ you_?
18613Did she use perfume?
18613Did the Grand Duke make any statement at the time of the seizure which would confirm the theory of a heart attack?
18613Did you find it on the floor?
18613Did you obtain a glimpse of Rob Roy''s piper?
18613Did you submit to Dr. Stuart the broken gold ornament?
18613Did you take the letter into the study to seal it in the other envelope?
18613Do n''t like to''ear about your wicked past, do you?
18613Do you forget so soon what happen last week?
18613Do you know what happened? 18613 Do you mean to tell me that you were taken as a_ slave_ to Cairo?"
18613Do you recall the death of the Grand Duke Ivan?
18613Do you think it a pretty name?
18613Does he ever fail?
18613Does your memory retain the name of Van Rembold and has your Scotland Yard yet satisfied itself that Sir Frank Narcombe died from''natural causes''? 18613 Eyes?"
18613Fo- Hi fellers, eh? 18613 Four?"
18613From what subscriber did that call come?
18613H''m-- and now you say that Mrs. M''Gregor saw the car?
18613Had about enough, ai n''t you, mate?
18613Hair?
18613Has anyone else viewed the body?
18613Has she left now?
18613Has the golden scorpion anything to do with the matter?
18613Have I said something that displeases you?
18613He is there?
18613He was dead?
18613He was referring to the man with the veil?
18613He would be in here alone?
18613Her ailment was imaginary?
18613Her jewellery?
18613His hands?
18613How did you open the drawer?
18613How is that?
18613How long has she been gone, then?
18613How many are here?
18613Hullocried Dunbar, taking up the receiver--"is that Dr. Stuart?
18613I see the question in your eyes-- why did I do it? 18613 I will ask you another question: have you attempted to open that drawer prior to this evening?"
18613If I speak in French will you be able to follow what I say?
18613If I swear that I speak the truth, will you believe me?
18613If I tell you, will you promise to believe me-- and to go?
18613If I tell you-- will you let me go?
18613If he was right,said Dunbar, taking up the piece of gold from the table,"what was Gaston Max doing with this thing in his possession?"
18613If it''s not a rude question, how on earth did_ this_ happen?
18613If you please,called the girl, detaining her--"do you permit me to speak on the telephone a moment?
18613In the public dining- room?
18613In the stress of recent years has the Haley torpedo made its appearance so that we might learn to which Government the plans had been taken? 18613 Is Dr. Stuart there?
18613Is he still alive-- this man?
18613Is it necessary for him to trace me? 18613 Is it so weak,"she said, rather tremulously,"not to judge a woman by what she seems to be and not to condemn her before you hear what she has to say?
18613Is it still in use by her?
18613Is that all you have to report, Sergeant?
18613Is there something else which we may learn from the experiences of Dr. Stuart? 18613 It was in your consulting- room that he asked you to take charge of the envelope?"
18613It was_ you_ who rang up that night? 18613 It''s a sort of lodging- house, then?"
18613It''s a wonderful make- up, is n''t it?
18613Listen, then: I am going to take all my notes to my friend, the doctor, and leave them with him, sealed-- sealed, you follow me? 18613 Mademoiselle,"I said,"is this gentleman annoying you?"
18613Makee chit tell my name? 18613 May I ask in what direction my services are likely to prove available?"
18613May I suggest,added Dunbar,"that we hear Sowerby''s report, sir?"
18613Might I ask, Inspector,he said,"what news you have learned and how you have learned it?"
18613Might I ask,he said,"who you are and what you are doing in my house?"
18613Might I ask,said Stuart, endeavouring to collect his scattered senses,"where you came from?"
18613Might I take a peep at the consulting room?
18613Mohammed Abd- el- Bali, standing trembling before him, replied:''Miska is already sold, lord, but----""''Her price?''
18613My good man,I said--"are you a member of the suite of the late Grand Duke?"
18613Now tell me, Mr. Keppel, did ye or did ye no''hear the wail o''the pibroch the night? 18613 Now,"said Stuart, when he had given an order to the waiter,"what do you want to tell me?
18613Now-- from her accent what should you judge her nationality to be?
18613Oh, have you no mercy? 18613 Oh, what do you mean?"
18613Or are you angry with yourself for seeing me?
18613Pardon my density, Mrs. M''Gregor, but-- er-- the Warning? 18613 S''pose hab gotchee pidgin allee samee Chunda Lal hab got?
18613Same feller tumble in liver?
18613Shall I bring it? 18613 Shall I speak to you in the soft Arab tongue?
18613Shall I tell you?
18613She used to dine alone, then?
18613Sir Frank Narcombe is?
18613Someone else?
18613Something in my line?
18613Tall?
18613That is correct,said the Assistant Commissioner,"but surely the honour of the late Sir Brian was above suspicion?"
18613That you are a petty thief?
18613The Pibroch of the M''Gregors?
18613The cheque?
18613The last time he visited you, doctor-- the time when he gave you the envelope-- did the cabman wait here in the waiting- room?
18613Then the cabman was n''t Max?
18613There is nothing further you''ll be wanting to- night?
18613Upon which side do you suppose the big room to be?
18613Visitors?
18613Was the table- lamp alight?
18613We must try to reach him before..."You fear for Chunda Lal?
18613Well?
18613Were you personally acquainted with the late Van Rembold?
18613What became of those stolen plans?
18613What brought you back to the Yard?
18613What build of man was he?
18613What d''you mean, Inspector? 18613 What do you mean exactly, Sowerby?"
18613What for?
18613What is the name of this other man?
18613What make of cab was it?
18613What part of the country should you say he hailed from?
18613What shall we do,said Stuart,"if_ you_ are summoned?"
18613What sort of wound had he on his skull?
18613What was it that you picked up from the floor?
18613What would it be,she said softly,"but the Pibroch o''the M''Gregors?"
18613What''s that?
18613What''s the answer, doctor?
18613When did Sergeant Sowerby leave?
18613Where and when was he taken ill?
18613Where did you find that charm?
18613Where did you obtain this key; and why?
18613Where is Dunbar? 18613 Where were you when he gave you the envelope?"
18613Which street did he go down, mate?
18613Who has seen him?
18613Who is Fo- Hi?
18613Who is the proprietor?
18613Who was with him?
18613Why do you say that?
18613Why is it not closed?
18613Why was it not announced outside the theatre?
18613Will you please call me Miska?
18613Would he have had time to find the box, cut out the piece of cardboard from the lid, put it in the envelope and seal it?
18613Ye''re no''that daft as to sit in wet boots?
18613Yes,said Dunbar rapidly;"but there was that poor girl to be rescued, you will remember?
18613You are convinced that there was no foul play, gentlemen?
18613You are well acquainted with the neighbourhood?
18613You confess,he said hoarsely,"that you knowing lured men to_ death?
18613You do n''t mean that you want to desert me? 18613 You grasp what I mean when I say that we were too hasty?
18613You have read my statement, of course?
18613You only speak French?
18613You perceive the drift of my argument?
18613You recall the episode? 18613 You think"--the Hindu''s voice was hoarse with emotion--"that_ he_ will trace you-- and kill you?"
18613Your own escape is just possible, if some vessel awaits you; but do you imagine for a moment that you can carry me to China and elude pursuit?
18613_ Ah, mon Dieu!_ monsieur say it again--_ scorpions?_"But yes, certainly. 18613 _( Do you understand?)
18613''But what on earth do you want to leave it with_ me_ for?''
18613''Her price?''
18613''Is n''t that the proper course?''
18613''Where do you want to go?''
18613''You will have no objection,''I said,''to this being posted if it is n''t reclaimed within a reasonable time?''
18613A man... wearing a sort of cowl----""Oh?"
18613After all, what crime had she committed?
18613After all, what crime had she committed?
18613Also-- did he perchance think that my meeting with Dr. Stuart in Limehouse had been prearranged?
18613And did I not hear the sound of a chaste salute?"
18613And did he know where I lived?
18613And now as I entered the hotel, press, police and public were demanding:"Is it true that the Grand Duke is dead?"
18613And the famous picture which she had sent to the Grand Duke?
18613And who was the other who remained?
18613And why mark the envelope 30?"
18613And why, if they could establish a claim to it, had they preferred to attempt to steal it?
18613And why, if they could establish a claim to it, had they preferred to attempt to steal it?
18613And-- has_ someone else_ tried also?"
18613Are all these cases, not the work of individual criminal but manifestations of a more sinister, a darker force?"
18613Are they ever admitted to the_ harem?_ And the slaves-- are they ever admitted outside the walls of the palace?
18613Are they ever admitted to the_ harem?_ And the slaves-- are they ever admitted outside the walls of the palace?
18613Are you more at ease with French?"
18613Are you sure of the number--49685?
18613Are you sure your imagination is not playing you tricks?"
18613Because I am a woman and can not always be cruel?"
18613Before, you were not...."Could he believe her?
18613Being put through and having deposited the necessary fee in the box:"Is that the Commissioner''s Office, New Scotland Yard?"
18613Being put through and having deposited the necessary fee in the box:"Is that the Commissioner''s Office, New Scotland Yard?"
18613Blank,''shall we say?
18613But I hope you will keep me in touch with this affair?"
18613But is there a woman of Paris, of London, of New York, who has such robes, such jewels, such apartments as you possess?
18613But the Hindu, drawing her nearer, repeated with subdued fierceness:"I ask it again-- but_ you_?"
18613But was he aware that Charles Malet was Gaston Max?
18613But was she in this house, and did she know of his presence there?
18613But what could be his object?
18613But you?"
18613CHAPTER II THE RED CIRCLE"You are not by any chance,"suggested Stuart, smiling slightly,"hinting at that defunct bogey, the''Yellow Peril''?"
18613Can you give me any kind of a description of him?"
18613Can you give me copies of the specialists''reports and other particulars?
18613Can you not imagine a dreadful sudden menace, not of men and guns but of_ brains_ and_ capital_?"
18613Can you suggest one?"
18613Could it be that he was"The Scorpion"?
18613Did I not tell you that_ he_ had cast his eyes upon you?
18613Did Miska still remain?
18613Did he do so without your instructions?"
18613Did she leave any message?"
18613Do you believe this?"
18613Do you follow me?
18613Do you follow me?"
18613Do you hear nothing?"
18613Do you know of any particular house, or houses, likely to be used as a meeting- place by such a gang?"
18613Do you know what saved me, my friend, from the consequences of that frightful blow?
18613Do you recall the loss-- not explained to this day-- of the plans of the Haley torpedo?"
18613Do you see that somewhat peculiarly constructed chair, yonder?
18613Do you stay, for--_him?_"Oh,"she whispered fearfully,"it can not be."
18613Do you think there is any possibility of invisible writing?"
18613Do you understand?
18613Does it surprise you?"
18613Dorian first called here just a week ago, and immediately before I returned from an Infirmary case?"
18613Dorian, or the person instructing her, traced the envelope to his study?
18613Dorian, or the person instructing her, traced the envelope to his study?
18613Dorian?
18613Dorian?
18613Dr. Keppel Stuart?
18613Even so, had she access to that room of mysteries-- of horrors?
18613Finally, why all this disturbance about a blank piece of cardboard?
18613Finally, why all this disturbance about a blank pieced of cardboard?
18613For the last time-- what have you taken from that drawer?"
18613For why?
18613From_ what_ did I rescue you?"
18613Had Dr. Stuart sent for the Inspector?
18613Had he perchance unwittingly made himself a party to the escapade of some unruly member of a noble family?
18613Have I not told you so?"
18613Have you anything to report about the yellow car?"
18613He is speaking?
18613How long ago would that be, doctor?"
18613I asked, and remembering a rare fragment of idiom:"What''s up with you?"
18613I believe there were unsatisfactory features?"
18613I shall know that you are near me, if----""And then?"
18613I wonder if you would do me a small favour?
18613If I tell you that my only chance of life-- such a little, little chance-- is to stay, will you go?"
18613If in naught else, in this at least surely she had been sincere?
18613If we are not sure then, are we sure_ now?_ It may be"--he bent towards her--"we are trapped!"
18613In what way does she differ from my other lady patients?"
18613Is it not possible that these contrary operations may be part of a common plan?"
18613Is it out?
18613Is the Commissioner here?"
18613Is there a River Police boat near?"
18613Is there_ nothing_ human in your heart?
18613It is then an organisation having ramifications throughout Europe, the East and,_ mon Dieu!_ where not?
18613It seems to establish a link with China, do n''t you think?"
18613It seems to establish a link with China, do n''t you think?"
18613It was at the house of Dr. Stuart, I take it, that you received the unexplained message?"
18613It was his big case, and it got him a fine billet as Superintendent in Cairo if you remember?"
18613Keppel?"
18613Leaving Dr. Halesowen out of the question, are you open to act as expert adviser in this case?"
18613Looking all about me suspiciously:"Am I right in supposing that you have business in this part of London?"
18613M''Gregor?"
18613M''Gregor?"
18613M''Gregor?"
18613M''Gregor?"
18613Max?"
18613May I ask where you obtained the fragment?"
18613Miska means''musk'', surely?"
18613Mrs. M''Gregor, betraying, in her interest, real suspicion, murmured_ sotto voce_:"Then she_ is_ a patient?"
18613Now, while you were out there, in India, China, Burma, and so on, did you ever come across a religion or a cult that worshipped scorpions?"
18613On the other hand, what can have been filched from him before his death?
18613Only three months after the Grand Duke''s death, the American admiral, Mackney, died at sea-- you will remember?
18613Remember the''dive''in''Frisco, Pidgin?
18613Remember when I come in-- full up I was: me back teeth well under water-- an''you tried to Shanghai me?"
18613Sergeant Sowerby has marked vocal mannerisms----""Which would be fairly easy to imitate?
18613Shall I call him?"
18613Shall I make inquiries?"
18613Shall I shut the windows?"
18613Should I follow the car or the man?
18613Should you care to come, doctor?"
18613So you would like me to find some poor inoffensive girl to share my struggles?"
18613Stuart?"
18613Stuart?"
18613Stuart?"
18613Suppose he has written that it is_ here_ people meet together?"
18613That you, Inspector?
18613That you, Inspector?
18613The death of an inventor, a statesman, a soldier, can be variously explained by your''Yellow''hypothesis, M. Max, but what of the death of a surgeon?"
18613The elaborate network extending from London to Buenos Ayres, from Peking to Petrograd?
18613The name of M. Gaston Max will no doubt be familiar to you?"
18613The quadroon, Miguel, left Paris last night and arrived in London this morning----""He was followed?"
18613Then in any event he is the man we want to watch?"
18613Then, six weeks ago, Sir Frank Narcombe, the surgeon, fell dead in the foyer of a West- End theatre-- you remember?"
18613Then:"Is that Battersea 0996?"
18613Then:"You want me to come around now, doctor?
18613This ray, Dr. Stuart, which played such havoc in your study-- do you know of anything approaching to it in more recent scientific devices?"
18613To what''warning''do you refer?"
18613Under the influence of that drug, my friends, how many of those secrets may they not have divulged?"
18613Was n''t that Shanghaiin''?
18613We moved him to the car----""_ We?_""The doctor, the theatre manager, and myself.
18613Weighed against the undoubted fact that she was a member of a dangerous criminal group what was it worth?
18613What could I do?
18613What do British residents and French residents know of the inner domestic life of their Oriental neighbours?
18613What does it mean, this releasing of the yellow car, closing of the bank account and departure from the Savoy?"
18613What fate was before you when I intervened in that Mecca slave- market?
18613What have these men in common with me?"
18613What have you stolen?"
18613What obstacle did a surgeon offer to this hypothetical Eastern movement?
18613What of Gaston Max, foremost criminologist in Europe, who now lay dead and mutilated in an East- End mortuary?
18613What of Gaston Max, foremost criminologist in Europe, who now lay dead and mutilated in an East- End mortuary?
18613What or whom is''The Scorpion''?"
18613What other servants had he with him?"
18613What possible motive could there be in assassinating these people?
18613What was his message?"
18613What''s that?--Max?
18613What''s the matter with Halesowen of Upper Wimpole Street?
18613What?"
18613Who is it that collects such things and for what purpose does he collect them?"
18613Who is it that wishes to speak to him?
18613Why did I lure men into the clutches of Fo- Hi?
18613Why did you not answer?"
18613Why do I speak of a"case"when thus far nothing of apparent importance had occurred?
18613Why do we wait?"
18613Why do you tremble?"
18613Why should you remain with that cowled monster?"
18613Why should_ I_ be in danger?"
18613Why should_ anyone_ have asked me to lock up a blank piece of cardboard?"
18613Why should_ you_ doubt my honesty?"
18613Why would Paris do so?
18613Why?
18613Will you smoke one of my cigarettes?
18613Women of this class are difficult, you understand?
18613Wot about it?
18613Would you mind taking charge of it for a week or so, until it is claimed?"
18613You agree with me?"
18613You are wondering, no doubt, how I obtained the frame in so short a time?
18613You called me up here at the Yard a few moments ago, did you not?
18613You did n''t by any chance note the number of his cab?"
18613You know this district?"
18613You noted the words of Ah- Fang?
18613You perceive my plan?
18613You recall that singular case?
18613You see?
18613You think that Ericksen had completed his experiments before he died, but that he never lived to give them to the world?"
18613You_ kill_ him?"
18613_ Chandu_ or hydrerphobia?"
18613_ I_ do not profit, you think?
18613_"Brr!_ do you hear those rats?
18613_"Tum samajhte ho?
18613_"Tum samauhe ho?
18613a lie is it?"
18613cried Stuart, laughing again--"oh, that''s it, is it?
18613cried Stuart--"he is dead?
18613he cried,"is that you, Sowerby?"
18613he said,"we are all leaving England?
18613said Bill--"wotcher bin given''_''i m,_ Pidgin?
18613said Dunbar--"then_ someone_ is still there?"
18613said Dunbar--"what''s that?
18613said the Hindu--"how can it be?"
18613whispered Max--"what now?"
18613whispered Miska--"what are you going to do?"
18613you heard it to- night?"
18613you hesitate?"
14369A baby? 14369 A general, or only a colonel?"
14369All going right, Corbett?
14369Am I to infer, Prenter, that you are going to follow your occasional tactics and try to laugh me out of my decision as president of the company?
14369Am mah eardrum done gone busted? 14369 Am''yo''gwine beliebe dat yo''kain''t wish no kind oh a trick ober on me?"
14369An army officer?
14369And Greg?
14369And he refuses?
14369And try to find the bombs?
14369And you never called me?
14369And you''ll have the money?
14369And you''ll throw them down harder than before?
14369And you, Mr. Prescott--- may I depend upon you, also, to preserve silence?
14369Another explosion?
14369Any beard?
14369Any decent cigars here?
14369Are all the others up?
14369Are there any visitors in camp to- night who should n''t be here?
14369Are you going to have the water dragged?
14369Are you going to jump your bail, and leave me to pay the bond?
14369Are you going to run for assistance now, Tom?
14369Are you going to stand for it, men?
14369Are you going to try to keep me out of all the excitement and fun?
14369Are you going to wait for daylight? 14369 Are you hurt?"
14369Are you trying to signal us, Sambo?
14369At what hour shall I call you?
14369Be careful, wo n''t you, sir?
14369Black or white?
14369Break yo''bail?
14369But do you know Evarts?
14369But eef he do?
14369But how could I know that the night would be pitch dark?
14369But what have you to do with one?
14369But where on earth did Nicolas learn that trick?
14369But why should he want to please Evarts in such a matter?
14369But you suspect it, do n''t you?
14369But you, Senor?
14369But, Senor, suppose thees scoundrel free himself?
14369Ca n''t you guess?
14369Color of his clothes?
14369Conlon, are you pushing the engines for all it''s worth?
14369Corbett, you have the handcuffs I gave you the other night, have n''t you?
14369Could you pick him out of a crowd of negroes?
14369Dem gamblers an''bootleggers ain''done got bail yet, has they, sah?
14369Den de w''ite gemman who done fu''nish yo''bond will be feelin''bad, wo n''t he?
14369Den yo''wo n''t call me Tar Baby no mo?
14369Did Evarts pay you fellows a salary, or commission?
14369Did n''t I come forward promptly on your bail?
14369Did you ever see more wicked neglect of important duty? 14369 Did you hear that, man?"
14369Did you notice, sir, that I turned the light right up at the sky, first- off?
14369Did you really find out anything?
14369Did you think that I could feel any other way about it?
14369Do n''t you make out the motor boat''s lights yet?
14369Do you call me a prisoner, too?
14369Do you feel that you''ll keep within the appropriation by making enemies who deliberately blow up our masonry?
14369Do you mean to ask whether I was scared by the cowardly, unsigned letter that I received this evening?
14369Do you mean to say that you are going to go on with your fool way of doing things?
14369Do you mean to say that you would n''t use the knowledge?
14369Do you see what caught my eye?
14369Do you share Mr. Prenter''s infatuation for those two young men?
14369Do you think you ever saw him before?
14369Do you want them for fighting, sir?
14369Do you want to take charge of these?
14369Does the hundred dollars come out of the company treasury, Reade, or from your own pocket?
14369Eh?
14369Eh?
14369Eh?
14369Evarts, why on earth did you send for me?
14369Evarts? 14369 Even though at least eight thousand dollars in damage was done last night?"
14369Give in?
14369Going to board her on the quarter?
14369Going to employ spotters on the camp?
14369Harry,Tom broke in,"just what did that negro look like?"
14369Has Mr. Bascomb put in an appearance here?
14369Have you a pair of pliers in your tool box that''ll cut small wires?
14369Have you any ideas whatever on the subject of Hazelton''s disappearance?
14369Have you any notion of giving in to that extent?
14369Have you any telegraph blanks here?
14369Have you paper, pen and ink here?
14369Hazelton--- killed?
14369He furnished a five thousand surety?
14369He is n''t going to interfere with any amusements that are properly carried on--- eh, Reade?
14369He''d have hailed us, then, in passing, would n''t he?
14369Hear what?
14369Here, what are you trying to do?
14369How about the contract, sir, between your company and Reade& Hazelton? 14369 How can I look at them?"
14369How could that Mexican wallop a giant?
14369How did it happen, sir?
14369How did the enemy come to catch you napping, Corbett?
14369How did you know I was here?
14369How did you like West Point?
14369How does it seem to be an army officer?
14369How long are we to keep our hands up?
14369How long can you stay with us?
14369How many hours does it take you to get awake when you''re called in the middle of the night?
14369How much?
14369How much?
14369How on earth do you think you could defend a contract against a wealthy company like ours? 14369 However, old fellow, we''re not going to fight, are we?
14369Humph, Evarts, a lot of good you can do us here, ca n''t you?
14369Hurt? 14369 I wonder if he is going to get cranky?"
14369I wonder if that boat can be in the service of those who are annoying us?
14369I--- I''ll wait here, Mr. Renshaw, will you keep me company?
14369I?
14369Insult you? 14369 Is Mr. Bascomb here?"
14369Is he, too, one of the conspirators? 14369 Is he?"
14369Is it against any law for an outsider to come into camp?
14369Is it any of your particular business?
14369Is n''t my meaning clear enough?
14369Is that proposition number two, sir?
14369Is that revolting row all over?
14369Is that you, Evarts?
14369Is there a warrant out against him?
14369Is this blackmail never to cease?
14369It''s about time to turn in, is n''t it?
14369It''s not to go back and fight, single- handed, is it?
14369Just what are you doing here?
14369Kain''t yo''?
14369Keep your eyes open, wo n''t you? 14369 Let this crowd of scoundrels shoot up the jail guards, and do they think the citizens would ever allow the gang to operate in camp?
14369Man, do n''t you think I have a nose?
14369Man, have n''t you come to your senses yet?
14369Maybe yo''d like de job ob tendin''to Boss Reade yo''so''f?
14369Meaning that the larger crowd may be a sort of vice trust, operating in many fields at the same time?
14369Men,he demanded,"are you going to be free, or are you going to allow yourselves to be treated like a lot of slaves by this boy?"
14369Mr. Bascomb,Tom called,"did you tell Evarts that he might visit this camp?"
14369Mr. Corbett, did none of your men patrolling on the wall report any signs of strangers?
14369Mr. Reade, how are you going to protect the works to- night?
14369My cowardice has made a dreadful mess of things in a lot of ways, has n''t it?
14369Nebber heard ob it befo'', eh, boss?
14369Now, Reade, does n''t that amount of wanton, revengeful mischief teach you the folly of trying to regulate camp life outside of working hours?
14369Now, do you think it''s going to be well to interfere so much with the movements of the men?
14369Now, see here, my man, if I did n''t want you why on earth would I call you out in the middle of the night?
14369Now, what fool or rogue could have signed that fellow''s bail bond?
14369Now, what is the nature and extent of the mutiny?
14369Now, what is up?
14369Now, what''s all this row that you wired us about?
14369Now, what''s the programme?
14369Oh, it''s you, is it, Prenter?
14369Oh, it''s you, is it?
14369Oh, then you''d rather wait and be forced out?
14369Or have I been listening to human signals? 14369 Peters, we have plenty of really good men among our laborers, have n''t we?"
14369Prenter,suggested the president of the company,"what do you say if you and I prowl in some other direction?
14369Pulling my work to pieces, are you, Tom?
14369Reade, are n''t you going to take us down to the water front and show us the extent of the damage?
14369Reade, how long would it take you to get an electric light service going?
14369Reade,he finally blurted out,"how long were you hiding there before Evarts found you there?"
14369Real birds?
14369Rest?
14369Say, where''s Greg?
14369Scars?
14369See here, just what is your errand in this camp?
14369See him anywhere now, chum?
14369See them--- the two upper ones?
14369Senor Hazelton, where is he?
14369Shall I land you there, sir?
14369Sleep? 14369 So this is the way our newly- found enemies will fight us?"
14369So this is you, Nicolas?
14369So you''ve openly joined the enemy, Evarts?
14369So, Nicolas, you rascal, you have n''t gone to bed?
14369So?
14369So?
14369Start?
14369Such as what, sir?
14369Suppose we run into the bombs, and they prove to be contact exploders, too?
14369Tell me who''s at the wheel?
14369That convicts me of cowardice, does n''t it, in not having come to your aid at the moment of attack? 14369 That negro simply burst his bonds--- and now where is he?
14369The discharged foreman?
14369The officers? 14369 The two details we now need,"Reade continued,"are, first, who was the negro?
14369Then I''m to be a prisoner?
14369Then he was n''t one of our men in this camp at any time?
14369Then how are you going to meet it?
14369Then what theory can explain it?
14369Then why did n''t you hear from him further?
14369Then you acquit me of cowardice?
14369Then you approve, sir, of my intention to keep him out?
14369Then you do n''t believe me?
14369Then you do n''t believe that Mr. Bascomb''s evil record of past years affects his honesty now?
14369Then you do n''t need us, after all?
14369Then you have n''t a theory?
14369Then you were near us, Mr. Prenter, when Evarts and the negro charged us?
14369Then you''re inclined, now, to believe that it was purely imagination?
14369Then--- then I--- I can rely upon your silence?
14369Then--- then--- y- y- you heard all of my talk with Evarts?
14369There are gambling and bootlegging going on in this camp to- night, are n''t there?
14369There are no others of their kind here, then?
14369Tom, you remember the big black man I imagined that I saw last night?
14369Two more of Evarts''s bootleggers, eh?
14369Unless what?
14369Used to be your foreman?
14369W''at am dat, massa?
14369W''at yo''talkin''''bout?
14369W''ate''s his name--- de ahmy man''s?
14369Warranted?

14369Well, then, where is the fellow?
14369Well, what are you howling about?
14369Well, what are you standing there for?
14369Well, what do you think you''re going to do with me?
14369Well, where is he?

14369What are you doing here?
14369What are you doing here?
14369What are you doing in these waters?
14369What are you doing in this camp?
14369What are you going to do to find Nicolas?
14369What are you going to do?
14369What are you up to?
14369What could it have been?
14369What craft is that?
14369What did I tell you about earlier hours?
14369What did I tell you, boys?
14369What did you do when you came to, Nicolas?
14369What do you mean by that?
14369What do you mean, Reade?
14369What do you take me for?
14369What happened to you?
14369What have rest and I to do with each other just now?
14369What is it?
14369What is that, sir?
14369What on earth can Bascomb be doing here?
14369What on earth can be keeping good old Tom?
14369What part has Mr. Bascomb been playing in this mystery that he''s so afraid of having become public?
14369What row?
14369What shall we do first?
14369What was all the row about?
14369What was that, Tar?
14369What would the negro want of Nicolas?
14369What''s all this dispute about anyway, Bascomb?
14369What''s his name?
14369What''s the idea, sir?
14369What''s the matter?
14369What''s the plan?
14369What''s your name?
14369What--- me? 14369 When are you going to change your seat and stop making me feel like a very thin pancake?"
14369When you have your mind made up about--- what?
14369Where in the world have you been?
14369Where is Mr. Hazelton then?
14369Where on earth are they?
14369Where to?
14369Where''s Evarts?
14369Where''s this man''s gang- master?
14369Which especial way of being thrown out do you prefer then?
14369Which way are you going?
14369Who are you, and what are you doing around here?
14369Who are you?
14369Who dar?
14369Who doin''dat?
14369Who started this craft against my orders?
14369Who''ll take charge here? 14369 Who''s there?
14369Who''s there?
14369Who''s there?
14369Whose permission?
14369Whose voice was it?
14369Why did n''t you wire me?
14369Why not?
14369Why on earth should he bail out Evarts?
14369Why should I mind?
14369Why should he want to be watching us?
14369Why, what are you going to do to me?
14369Why, you did n''t doubt but that I''d turn up as surely as any other bad egg, did you?
14369Why?
14369Why?
14369Will they?
14369Will you come down to the water, and go out with me to look at the damage, sir?
14369Will you trust me with the boat?
14369Yes, sir, and who do you suppose went on his bond?
14369Yes?
14369Yet_ is_ Mr. Bascomb really fit to be trusted?
14369You admit having chased out the gamblers, do n''t you?
14369You did n''t know that torpedoes are used for wicked work either, eh?
14369You did?
14369You do n''t, eh?
14369You have n''t had any sleep lately, have you, Dick?
14369You look for trouble to break to- night?
14369You want me?
14369You''ll do it--- just like this, eh?
14369You''re a gang- master?
14369You''re a nice crew, are n''t you?
14369You''re not going to try to raise the things with the boathook, are you?
14369You''re the president of the company, are n''t you?
14369You''ve seen the leader?
14369You''ve solved the mystery and caught the fellow who has been dynamiting the wall?
14369You, Senor?

14369Ah got plenty ob dat accommerdation""What magneto are you talking about?"
14369And what are they?"
14369Are you coming out of that boat--- or shall I come back after you?"
14369Are you wide awake, now?"
14369Are you working on the breakwater job?"
14369As an army officer and an engineer what do you think of it?"
14369Bascomb?"
14369But are you going to do anything to protect the wall to- night, Tom?"
14369But do you and Tom continue to find engineering the grandest career on earth?"
14369But--- are you thoroughly awake, now?"
14369By the way, how much will it cost to repair the damage to the retaining walls?"
14369CHAPTER XVIII THE ARMY"ON THE JOB""You, Dick?"
14369CHAPTER XX A SECRET IN SIGHT"Mr. Prenter,"asked Tom suddenly,"is there anything about which you wish to see me just now?"
14369Ca n''t I get enough of that when I go aboard a Pullman again and am riding out to Colorado?
14369Can you get one?"
14369Comprenay?
14369Did you imagine that you could keep on defying all the laws?
14369Did you notice it, too, Bascomb?"
14369Do you fellows reckon you want Mr. Reade to bump in here and shake you out?"
14369Do you think you understand me?"
14369Do you, Reade?"
14369Do you?"

14369For the last time, my man, who are you and what are you doing here?"
14369Harry described the negro who had attacked him on the retaining wall, after which Tom asked:"Have any of you men ever seen that negro?
14369Harry, do you mind remaining out here while I run back and get the boat out?"
14369Harry, send in our workmen, will you?"
14369Have you any idea who he is, and where he can be found?"
14369How much money have you in the world?
14369How ye''feel erbout it now?
14369Huh?"
14369I ca n''t do anything out here to help you, can I?"
14369I lie down?"
14369I wonder if the fellow is going to use more than four tubes?"
14369I wonder whether the scoundrels back of Sambo have any more novel ways for setting off their big firecrackers around our wall?"
14369Is n''t that so, Reade?"
14369Is peace better than war?
14369May I therefore ask, sir, if there is any especial reason why Evarts should be allowed in this camp?"
14369Me?
14369Men, do you realize that there''s foul play afoot out on the retaining wall?
14369Mr. Bascomb, why do n''t you yourself disclose this little affair in your past history to the board of directors?
14369My man,"turning to the messenger,"are you going back to Evarts?"
14369Now what is the second proposition, sir?"
14369Now, do you understand?"
14369Officer, do you demand the assistance of all present in any police duty that may come up?"
14369Or a cold- foot?"
14369Police?"
14369Reade?"
14369Reade?"
14369Reade?"
14369Reade?"
14369Regular cabin cruiser, is n''t she, about forty feet long?"
14369Savvy?
14369Scipio, why have n''t you started that fellow away from here?"
14369Second, who was behind the negro in this rascally work?"
14369So Mr. Bascomb demanded your resignation?"
14369So you''re the bootlegger who is bringing this stuff into camp to sell to the men?
14369Speaking of mystery, could anything be stranger, or harder to explain, than what happened to poor Hazelton?"
14369Then Nicolas came along and put the negro out of the fight, and---""Nicolas?"
14369There are other vendors here, too, are there?"
14369To what effect?
14369Understand?
14369W''at yo''done think yo''_ can_ do?"
14369Want me to dump the pitcher of water on you?
14369What do you suppose I did, Mr. Reade, as soon as the explosion sounded?"
14369What do you suppose has happened?"
14369What time do you want to be up, Tom?"
14369What''s wanted?"
14369When you know how the Melliston Company feels toward you, you do n''t want to be impudent enough to insist on hanging on, do you?"
14369Where are you, and what are you doing?"
14369Where could he run to?
14369Where is Nicolas, for that matter?
14369Where is he?"
14369Why should n''t vice be?"
14369Why, if he were killed, what became of the body?"
14369Would n''t you like to go over through the camp with us?"
14369Yet how could he have vanished so completely, and what possibly could have happened to his assailant or assailants?
14369Yet tell me, how did you happen to be at hand to- night in time to save me from Mr. Sambo Ebony?"
14369You''re finding your voice, are you, my man?"
14369You''ve seen the breakwater work?
21737''Ow could they offer to''elp me,returned old Liz sternly,"w''en they knew nothink about my troubles?
21737''Ow should_ I_ know? 21737 A fine view, is it not?"
21737Am I, then, such a stranger?
21737An''_ did_ you know about the treasure?
21737An''what for?
21737An''wot d''ee think they''re agoin''to do?
21737And did n''t they,broke in Tommy,"never say a word about''elpin''you, granny, to git hout of your troubles?"
21737And for what purpose?
21737And how about Susan?
21737And what said the Scotsman to that?
21737And when are Susy and I expected?
21737And who may chimney- pot Liz be?
21737Any message for me?
21737Ay,cried the thief, looking suddenly fierce,"and why not?
21737Bein''neither a beak nor a gentleman, lad, what would you say your name was to_ me_?
21737But how-- what do you mean by taking it away?
21737But is her name Blake?
21737But suppose that the heart_ is_ right?
21737But surely you do n''t b''lieve''e''s guilty?
21737But w''y?
21737But what''s the matter with you to- day, Liz?
21737But what_ are_ you, Tommy? 21737 But why did n''t you tell us of this before?"
21737But why doesna Sam Blake, the waux--, I mean Susy''s faither, lend them the siller?
21737Can ye direck me, polisman,said the Scot to the constable, as he was about to pass,"t''Toor Street?"
21737Can''ee direck me tilt?
21737D''ee know w''ere they''ve took''i m to?
21737D''you think Mr Lockhart has made a mistake, Mr Laidlaw?
21737Did I say I_ was_?
21737Did n''t I tell you, Jack, that your lawyer would find our old nurse if any one could? 21737 Div''ee think, mother, that the warld was made only for_ gentlemen_ to travel in?"
21737Do I? 21737 Do n''t you see?
21737Do n''t_ want_ her?
21737Does it not remind you, Susan, a little, a very little, of the views from the garret- garden?
21737Eh, laddie, what''s wrang?
21737Hallo, Trumps, who''ave you got here?
21737Have the shares been lang at this high figure?
21737Home?
21737Hoo can I tell? 21737 How d''ee know I''m in the wrong port-- monkey?"
21737How d''ee know he''s_ my_ friend?
21737I say, Sam, d''ee spend all yer time-- night and day-- in yer bunk?
21737I say, Splint, is it_ you_ I''ve run into?
21737I''ll go an''see Colonel-- Colonel-- what''s''is name? 21737 I''m richt I fancy?"
21737In the meantime, sir, what have I to pay to you for yer information?
21737Indeed, where have you been?
21737Indeed? 21737 Is he a noo member?"
21737Is there a rope in the garret?
21737Is your father alive, Tommy?
21737My sweet gal,he said affably touching his cap,"is Capting Laidlaw within?"
21737No doubt he is,replied Sam;"but how will you manage to haul him up and prove that he has been swindling the old woman?"
21737No sheets,--blankets?
21737Noo, is n''t_ that_ a blagyird?
21737Now, then,he demanded, going up to David Laidlaw,"are_ you_ a missionary too?"
21737Of who, mother-- old nurse?
21737Possibly-- indeed probably,returned the Colonel;"but what makes you think so?"
21737She ai n''t''urt, is she? 21737 Surely he was not beggin''?"
21737That''s the babby?
21737W''ere did you pick''i m up?
21737Weel noo,said the former,"are n''t ye an oot- an''-oot blagyird?"
21737Weel, Christian or no Christian, I''ll gi''e him a ca'',said David;"are they up there enow?"
21737Whar are''ee gaun noo?
21737Whar d''ye think I''ve gotten t''noo, mither?
21737Whar''s the fire, laddie?
21737What d''ee say to it, Sam?
21737What more do you want? 21737 What say ye to that freend?"
21737What''s your name, lad?
21737Where am I?
21737Who''s that blue spider?
21737Why, who d''ye think they was?
21737Wot can you expect of a horphing?
21737Would n''t it be better for me,said Sam,"to steer straight for the garden than to go along with you?"
21737Ye ken the hoose, Tammy; hoo shall we gang?
21737You ai n''t agoin''to clear for action at once, then?
21737You both looked and were quite sure of that?
21737You want to see as much as you can, I suppose?
21737You''ll come back agin to stay with us, Liz-- won''t you?
21737You''re quite sure that she''ll be here by ten?
21737_ Is_ the old woman''s name Morley?
21737------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reader, what more can we say?
21737Am I a lawyer?
21737An''''e''s bringin''a lord with''im-- a live lord--""Wot better is a live lord than any other man?"
21737An''w''at''s your name?
21737Are not the Railway Share Lists and Reports open to inspection?"
21737But a cove with a Christian name as is_ not_ a Christian do seem an absurdity-- don''t it?
21737But after a''--what for no?
21737But tell me, what were the swells like?"
21737But what''as''appened to you?"
21737But what''s the maitter wi''ye?"
21737But, I say, before I tell you more about''er, I wants to know wot you''ve got to do with''er?
21737By the way, that reminds me-- Is the tea done, Susy?"
21737Can you give me the name and address of the family in Pimlico?"
21737Could n''t you come down here an''lay alongside?"
21737Do n''t you remember Trumps?"
21737Do ye see the track across the field where the burn rins?
21737Each of you loves_ some_ one-- don''t I know!--with powerful affection, so, why could n''t you love each other?"
21737Hae, ye''ll no''objec''to a wheen bawbees?"
21737Hain''t you been to school yet, stoopid?"
21737Has anything happened to detain you?"
21737Has he not systematically robbed dear old Liz?
21737Have''ee got a partikler pattern in yer eye, now, or d''ee on''y want samples?"
21737He merely opened his eyes quietly and said,"All right, my lad; what''s up?"
21737He''s a trump--""Not a brother o''yourn-- eh?"
21737I ai n''t a pleeceman, ham I?
21737Is it necessary to add that, the two principals in the business being well pleased, everybody else was satisfied?
21737Is n''t it said,` There''s honour among thieves?''"
21737May I come?"
21737May I have a cup?"
21737Need we say that the supper- party was jovial?
21737No doubt, just at present the dividend on the shares of the Washab and Roria Railway have fallen off terribly, but--""What railway?"
21737No?
21737Now, do n''t be angry, Mrs Rampy, but--''ave some more tea?"
21737Now, look''ere, slimey- coat-- if any one larned in the law was inclined to pump you, could you be pumped?"
21737Sam turned to his daughter:"Ye could never cross that, Susy?"
21737So this is yer new convert, is he?
21737So, Tommy, will you go with Mr Laidlaw or with me?"
21737W''at is she?
21737W''ere was it they fust got''old of you?"
21737What are you engaged to do?"
21737What gars ye gang aboot tryin''to steal like that?"
21737What''s the name of the lawyer- body that''s their landlord?"
21737Who could have whispered that question?
21737Why should Stickle and Screw lose a minute of their people''s work?
21737Wo n''t we, pals?"
21737You do n''t know his address, do you?
21737You say she''ll be home about ten?"
21737You see''uman creeturs are apt to grow considerable in fifteen years-- ain''t they?"
21737You see, my landlord, who takes charge of these matters for me--""That''s Mr Lockhart the lawyer, ye mean?"
21737You''ll be the better of a rise in the world, wo n''t you?
21737You''re not takin''''er to a hospital?"
21737a bonny wee face, nae doot but what div_ I_ care for bonny faces if the hairt''s no''richt?"
21737an''he''s to be my guide?
21737an''you ai n''t bin''ome or seed yer babby for fifteen years?"
21737exclaimed Mrs Brentwood,"why, what do you call these?"
21737exclaimed Tommy Splint, with wide- open eyes,"ai n''t they a- goin''of it up there?
21737exclaimed several voices,"said''e could trust_ you_, Trumps?"
21737exclaimed the boy sternly, as he started back and doubled his fists,"who let_ you_ out o''Noogate?"
21737explained the man fiercely,"what else can I do?
21737how d''ee know_ that_?"
21737said the sailor in a remonstrative tone,"did I ever deceive you?"
21737you knows chimley- pot Liz an''Susy, do ye?
17999A reason you do n''t believe in?
17999A relative? 17999 A sister-- not a wife?"
17999Action?
17999Am I a prisoner of the police that you should ask me that?
17999And Mr. Fulton knows nothing of him?
17999And a little turned away?
17999And entirely under her own control?
17999And her account of the use we made of it tallied with mine?
17999And her eyes? 17999 And in what terms?
17999And my wife?
17999And never spoke?
17999And of me?
17999And so this door was found fastened on this side?
17999And the window?
17999And this woman wearing those yellow furs and the blue veil visited the man of the broken jaw?
17999And this? 17999 And this?"
17999And where?
17999And who will venture to obtain this proof for us? 17999 And you cashed the check?"
17999And you have drawn up this will?
17999And you refuse?
17999And you told her she was?
17999Anitra? 17999 Anitra?"
17999Anitra?
17999Any beard?
17999Are those hers?
17999As if she shrank from you?
17999Black? 17999 But for money?"
17999But she had some sort of hat on?
17999But she has not signed it?
17999But she intends to?
17999But she talked of her marriage? 17999 But she walked lame and she came from Room 3?"
17999But she wore no coat?
17999By their heft I judge them to be full; how about her hand- bag?
17999Can not you tell the color?
17999Can reason stand it? 17999 Can you expect mercy from a man who sees a million just within his grasp?
17999Could n''t they be those of a person approaching the ell to converse with some one above? 17999 Dark or light?"
17999Dark, then, very dark, with a gipsy color and snapping black eyes?
17999Did Jan, the Dutchman you speak of, fall in by accident, or did he-- throw himself over-- from homesickness, or some such cause?
17999Did my wife sign the will?
17999Did she brighten when the carriage stopped?
17999Did the lady hobble when she slid thus mysteriously out of sight?
17999Did the woman have two husbands, and was the Alfred Hazen, whose death at sea is commemorated here, the son of Toritti or of Hazen?
17999Did they ever emerge-- any of them?
17999Did you hear?
17999Did you help her out?
17999Did you sit near them? 17999 Do n''t you remember its color?"
17999Do n''t you remember the day we tied two chickens together, leg to leg, and sent them tumbling down the hill back of old Wylie''s barn?
17999Do you guess my thought?
17999Do you mean to say,he asked,"that you can not tell me where the woman you call your sister is now?"
17999Do you realize what a shadow may be thrown upon your sister''s memory by this reticence on your part? 17999 Do you recognize it?"
17999Do you recognize the face?
17999Do you remember her frock?
17999Do you?
17999Eh?
17999Even possible shame?
17999Final? 17999 From her name?"
17999Had you no mercy? 17999 Have n''t you already made a trial of that?
17999Have n''t you some idea-- some strange, possibly half- formed notion or secret intuition which might afford some clew to this labyrinth? 17999 Have you done it?"
17999Have you duly considered what you are about to do? 17999 He said that?"
17999Hello, who are you?
17999Hello,said he,"what news?"
17999Her fortune is large, then?
17999How can I stand this?
17999How do you know all this? 17999 How indebted to-- a trunk- maker?"
17999How long did she stay?
17999How shall I settle this new question? 17999 How tired?"
17999How''s that? 17999 How''s that?"
17999How, shame?
17999I take it that you would n''t object to knowing all the messenger can tell you?
17999I? 17999 I?"
17999I?
17999Interested in the Hazen monument, eh? 17999 Is it any one from this hotel?"
17999Is it the girl herself,--Anitra, I believe you called her,--who has ordered this record of her death removed?
17999Is she out of her room? 17999 Is that my bag?
17999Is there any one near? 17999 Left her by her father?"
17999May I ask who your companion is?
17999Mercy? 17999 Mr. Harper, are you sure that you know just what my thought is?"
17999My father''s name?
17999My mother''s?
17999No; what did he say? 17999 Not a black skirt?"
17999Notwithstanding the mystery?
17999One, I mean, before the 10:50 express?
17999Porter, did you say? 17999 Ravings?"
17999Say, mister, did you drop something?
17999She has confided nothing more to you since your return from the river bank?
17999She jumped out after you?
17999She? 17999 Something wrong in Room 81?"
17999The coroner, you say, is satisfied?
17999The man with the twisted jaw?
17999Then there is nothing in the will you have drawn up to show that she has lost her affection for me?
17999Then you will see her again?
17999This was in the cab?
17999Though she seemed so very much cut up?
17999Under what name?
17999Wanted in Room 81?
17999Was n''t it black? 17999 Was she dressed in brown?"
17999What are those?
17999What did she have on her head?
17999What do you mean by that?
17999What do you think now?
17999What does it mean?
17999What have you got? 17999 What if he added another name to the Johnston?"
17999What is it?
17999What is it?
17999What is this I hear and read about Georgian and her so- called twin?
17999What took off your jaw?
17999What was the knowledge? 17999 What''s that you''re up to?"
17999When?
17999When?
17999Where did you get it? 17999 Where is the hole?
17999Where is this man now?
17999Where is this woman Bela now?
17999Where the cemetery is?
17999Where will you put him?
17999Where you did n''t speak a word?
17999Where? 17999 Which room?
17999Who has it then?
17999Who is her man of business?
17999Who is this woman?
17999Who? 17999 Why deceive us both?
17999Why did n''t you tell me that in the beginning?
17999Why unfortunately?
17999Why, I thought you--"Dead, eh? 17999 Will she come out again before night to eat or to visit?"
17999Will your thousands amount to a clean million?
17999Wo n''t you come?
17999Wo n''t you particularize, Mr. Hazen? 17999 Would anything floating down from the falls be apt to strike this eddy?"
17999Yes; do you object to cemeteries? 17999 You all recognize me?"
17999You are sure of this?
17999You are?
17999You ca n''t tell me the color of that veil?
17999You do n''t?
17999You have simply followed her orders?
17999You knew that she had stolen away from me-- that she had resorted to a most unworthy subterfuge in order to hold this conversation with you?
17999You know me?
17999You mean her deafness?
17999You must have reasoned with her on this very point as you are now trying to reason with me?
17999You remember it? 17999 You saw her climbing past there?"
17999You saw her-- saw her face?
17999You will give me that much additional nerve for the task lying before me?
17999Your life?
17999_ Is the time set?_The lawyer rose to his feet.
17999_ What does it all mean?_CHAPTER III"HE KNOWS THE WORD"The next moment the doubt natural to the occasion asserted itself.
17999_ What?_"I know what I am saying. 17999 3?
17999After which rose a confused babel of ejaculations and exclamatory questions, among which one could detect:"How did it happen, Alf?"
17999Ah, you know that?"
17999Alfred, what am I to expect?
17999Am I right, sir?"
17999And the dress?"
17999And was his reappearance at the same time with that of a supposedly long deceased sister simply a coincidence so startling as to appear unreal?
17999Anna K. Green Rohlfs] THE CHIEF LEGATEE PART I A Woman of Mystery CHAPTER I A BRIDE OF FIVE HOURS"What''s up?"
17999Any better at the Ferry, or down east, as you call it?"
17999Are you ready to hear what I have to propose?"
17999Are you that sister grown up?
17999Are you willing to discuss it affably and fairly?"
17999Are you willing to incur that publicity?"
17999Auchincloss will get his money, and soon, will he not?
17999Because Anitra must have some disability to distinguish her from Georgian?
17999Because you are Georgian after all?"
17999Because you are not Anitra?
17999Black too?"
17999Brown, is n''t it?
17999But can we go by it?
17999But how avert the comment which this unusual state of things must awaken if noticed?
17999But must I turn right back before going on to the hotel and hearing the news?"
17999But under what name?
17999But we are not allowed the free exercise of our own judgment, else what man could be depended on?
17999But why come here?"
17999By what means and through whose aid can I gain an interview with my wife?"
17999CHAPTER XXIX"THERE IS ONE WAY""Have you done?"
17999Can I see this woman daily, hourly, and not go mad between my doubts and my love?"
17999Can anybody hear me?"
17999Can he by any possibility be the treasurer of that Cause?"
17999Can not you recall one likely to put us on the right track?
17999Can she be there?
17999Can that woman be other than your own sister?"
17999Can you describe the person you saw?"
17999Can you endure the ordeal for the sake of the safety and peace of mind it will bring?"
17999Can you guess how?"
17999Can you?
17999Could I bear to live with her, knowing what her shawl hid?
17999Could identify it if you saw it again?"
17999Did n''t she tell you anything about him when she gave you her instructions?"
17999Did n''t you notice a similarity in her appearance to that of the very lady you were then seeking?"
17999Did she remember this?"
17999Did they quarrel and did the most wilful of the two insist on getting out at the foot of the hill and walking up through the lane?"
17999Did you ask for an extra lamp?"
17999Did you note it?"
17999Did you see any tokens of this in the interview you had together?"
17999Did you see the face of this body as well as the arm?
17999Did you think a man could see that or anything else indeed in that maddening swirl of water?"
17999Did you think she was just running to the neighbors?"
17999Do n''t you see one somewhere that reminds you of her veil or even of her dress?"
17999Do n''t you see that I must have an immediate interview with her if only to satisfy myself that she aggravates her own danger?
17999Do n''t you see where the hypothesis to which you persist in clinging would land you?
17999Do you ask that?"
17999Do you know what you have done?
17999Do you see this inscription-- On June 7, 1885; Anitra, aged six, and the rest of it?
17999Do you suppose he is reading that paragraph?"
17999Do you understand?"
17999Do you wish that motive probed to the bottom?
17999Do you wonder that I am overcome by it?
17999Does it resemble her?"
17999Does not that statement call for some explanation?
17999Does she fear opposition from me?
17999Does this plan look sufficiently harmless to meet with your approval?"
17999Else, why do I plunge to my death with your ring on my finger and your love in my heart?
17999For Auchincloss, in this will, read Hazen; but how about her husband?
17999For how could she have known about it if she had not been its author, and if she was its author, what purpose had she expected it to serve?
17999Had Hans struck me again?
17999Had she gone out that way?
17999Harper, are we living, awake, sane?
17999Has any one ever tried to?"
17999Have you any commands that I can execute for you?"
17999Have you ever heard her speak of him?"
17999Have you found the man?"
17999Have you looked to see if you can get a good glimpse of her door through the keyhole of this one?"
17999Hazen?"
17999Hazen?"
17999He had escaped discovery before; was n''t it possible for him to escape it again?
17999He was introduced as Mr. Hazen( my wife''s maiden name, you know), and when I saw how his presence disturbed her, I said to her,''A cousin of yours?''
17999Her maiden one or his?
17999How about her friends and the general community?
17999How are we to answer that girl when she asks us what has happened?
17999How can I present it to the Surrogate when I know the testator is still alive?"
17999How could he let her go with so much unsaid?
17999How could he tell but that news of a definite and encouraging nature awaited him?
17999How did she appear at that interview?
17999How far from the waterfall?"
17999How recall her to the hour when she had seen Georgian for the second time?
17999I was determined not to yield, not to faint, till I had seen-- and proved--""What''s that?"
17999I will do my best, sir; but first, can not you help me with a suggestion or two?"
17999In which direction shall I find the best walking?"
17999Is he a tall man?"
17999Is he what you would call a gentleman?"
17999Is her hair black or brown?"
17999Is it his?"
17999Is that a fact, sir?
17999Is this sister''s name?
17999It might not be amiss; what do you think about it?"
17999Johnston_?"
17999May I count on you now?"
17999Meantime, Hazen was answering in painful gasps the lawyer''s pointed question,"Did you see the face of this body as well as the arm?"
17999Might he not better run some small risk of detection?
17999Mr. Harper, have you guessed that way?"
17999Must you go out?"
17999Natural?"
17999No talk down your way of a strange young woman seen anywhere on the highway or about any of the houses between here and the Landing?"
17999Now, who are you?
17999Or had this suspense, this feeling of standing now, as never before, at the opening door of fate, a deeper significance, a more active meaning?
17999Or in the woods, or on her way to some unknown place far out of our reach?
17999Perhaps I shall want to make_ my will_, who knows?"
17999Ransom herself?
17999Ransom when he walked through those rooms?"
17999Ransom''s troubled face?
17999Ransom) for so tremendous a sacrifice as this you ascribe to her?
17999Ransom; should they send it up?
17999Ransom?"
17999Ransom?"
17999Shall I go up- stairs now?"
17999Shall I talk now?
17999Shall I tell you what I told Georgian when she found me crying in the street and took me home to her house?"
17999Shall we get detectives from the county- seat, or start on the hunt ourselves?
17999Shall we go up?
17999She has left the building-- left me, and--""You want her back again?"
17999She hobbled, and her husband did n''t notice it?"
17999She was pretty and chipper and walked along as if she was part of the mornin''; but that do n''t tell you much, does it?
17999She''s the great lady who married and left her husband all in one day; and for what reason do you think?
17999Should he be forced to allow her to enter her room unseen?
17999Should he grasp her hand, insist that she was Georgian and demand her confidence and the truth?
17999Should he venture an additional question?
17999Sign away all her property?
17999Some fact prior to the events of to- day, I mean; some fact connected with her past life; before she went to live with the Fultons?"
17999Some proof will be necessary, and that very soon, for this man Auchincloss to realize the money?"
17999That the woman had been married twice, and that this Alfred Francesco was the son of her first husband rather than of the one whose name he bore?
17999The descent from the balcony was easy enough, but how about the passage from Georgian''s window to the balcony?
17999The rescue of her sister from some impending calamity?
17999Then after a moment of oppressive silence,"Did you notice, when we all came in, the figure of a woman disappearing up the stair way?
17999Then quietly to Georgian:"Was it she who threw the comb and dropped your bag where my man found it?"
17999Then with a sharp look at the boy:"Where were you that you did n''t notice her when she slipped off?"
17999Then with the instinctive caution of his class,"You have made no mistake?"
17999Was I foolish to want the rings?
17999Was I, a bride, loving and beloved by my husband, to listen to either of these alternatives?
17999Was n''t she dressed in brown?
17999Was she light- complexioned?
17999Was this a proof?
17999Was this another mystery; or had he misinterpreted Mr. Harper''s purpose in passing over to him the address of this small town?
17999What can she find there to interest her?
17999What certainty?
17999What do you know of her life previous to your meeting her?"
17999What do you think of that?
17999What faith can he put in one who prefers her own happiness to the general good?
17999What had been the hold of this strange and uncongenial man on Georgian?
17999What had happened?
17999What have you done?
17999What if she were about to will away her fortune to the man she called brother?
17999What is her name and what did she mean by such an outrage?"
17999What is she going to do at the waterfall?
17999What is the matter, Hazen?"
17999What kind, what, what, what?
17999What was meant by that_ afterwards_?
17999What was she going to do?
17999What was there in this to make his hand shake and cause the deepening night to seem positively hateful to him?
17999What will he have to say about it?
17999What would happen next?
17999What?
17999When the detective answered, he shouted back:"Have you read the evening papers?
17999When was that?"
17999Where can they be leading?
17999Where had he come from, then?
17999Where is Anitra?
17999Where is Anitra?"
17999Where is she going?"
17999Where is the deaf and solitary one you dragged from the streets of New York to bolster up your plot?
17999Where is this Bela now?"
17999Which is my room, please?"
17999Who goes with me?
17999Who knows what we may wish to write upon it next?"
17999Who was the girl who just went scurrying by out of here?
17999Who was the woman who came up from New York with you?
17999Whose steps are these?
17999Whose, Mr. Harper?
17999Why chosen by her?
17999Why could not the will have been signed in New York?
17999Why does it seem so credible to you that Georgian, a much loved and loving woman, should have leaped to a watery death within a week of her marriage?
17999Why had he never encouraged her to talk to him more about herself and her early life?
17999Why had he not known her better before linking his fate to hers?
17999Why had he not noticed them before?
17999Why had he not thought of this?
17999Why had he, a humane man, consented to this attempt on the part of the devoted Hazen?
17999Why had its sound held a note of menace for him, awakening feelings he did not understand and from which he sought to escape?
17999Why is this?"
17999Why should I ask her?
17999Why should she make a will in this underhanded way?
17999Why submitted to by this busy New York lawyer?
17999Will it be transgressing all rules of propriety for me to ask the purport of my sister''s will?
17999Will it pay?
17999Will that please you?
17999Will y''er say who the young woman is?
17999Will you go up- stairs with me to your wife''s room?"
17999Will you help me in its furtherance?
17999Will you stay with me if I take you up to my room and take care of you?
17999Will you tell us if the key to the door was there in the lock?"
17999Work!--that?
17999Would he notice them as he went by?
17999Would his wife reappear?
17999Would she greet this expression with recognition and a smile?
17999Would she recognize the summons?
17999Would some proof of its presence there be sufficient to settle the fact of her death?"
17999Yellow hair, you know, and blue eyes?"
17999Yet had he ever seen them together, or even the shadow of one at the same moment he saw the person of the other?
17999You are sure of his being still in the house?"
17999You have a photograph of your wife?"
17999You let nothing escape you?"
17999You played at deafness-- why?
17999You see this little gold work at the top?
17999You will not make difficulties?"
17999You would have no difficulty in recognizing her if you saw her again?"
17999_ She?_""Dressed in her maid''s clothes.
17999_ She?_"Mr. Harper never knew why he did it.
17999a dark brown?"
17999and could he have seen the body from which it has evidently been torn?"
17999and the man, the one who whispered to her during the reception, could n''t you learn anything about him?"
17999and with it-- what?
17999he exclaimed,"no one will ever hear me say again that lawyers are devoid of heart?"
17999that meant what?
17999the skirt of it, at least?"
17999there''s an early train then?"
17999what''s that?"
17999where?
17999which?"
17999who?
2126A reflection from something on the deck?
2126Ah,said Dr. Nicholson quizzically,"And has anything untoward happened to our Graeco- Moslem friend?"
2126And the constable?
2126And what are the conditions?
2126And who attacked them?
2126Any idea who he is?
2126Are you sure?
2126Bristol,I said,"has it occurred to you that there may be others, as well as Hassan of Aleppo, seeking to gain possession of the sacred slipper?"
2126Bristol,I said,"now that the danger grows imminent, does n''t it seem to you foolhardy for us thus to expose ourselves?"
2126But I thought,said Carneta, innocently,"you said the old gentleman who was here on Wednesday went to take some?"
2126But if I can find him?
2126But the slipper?
2126But-- what in God''s name did that awful screaming mean?
2126Cat?
2126Cavanagh!--is that Cavanagh?
2126Could you arrange that I join you?
2126Did he, that awful thing, escape?
2126Did no one see the flash of the pistol?
2126Did they have lights?
2126Did you hear it?
2126Did you notice that man I glanced at?
2126Do they know you by sight here?
2126Do you mean it, Cavanagh?
2126Do you understand, fully,the curator continued,"the risk you run?"
2126Does Mr. Knowlson come to that shutter when you knock?
2126Does any explanation suggest itself to you?
2126Eh?
2126Feel better now?
2126For God''s sake, what can it be?
2126For God''s sake, who is it?
2126For God''s sake, why?
2126For me?
2126From Hassan of Aleppo?
2126Has the case been mended?
2126Have you no theory?
2126He has not been moved at all?
2126Hear it?
2126How can I tell you that? 2126 How can we manage it?
2126How long is he gone?
2126How so?
2126I could, but you can see the danger for yourself?
2126I promise willingly,I said;"but can you give me no hint?"
2126I suppose you have them in a place of safety?
2126I suppose you would wish to avoid a scene?
2126I want to know,I replied,"for whom are those provisions in your basket?"
2126I wonder if we shall ever know?
2126If you know where the slipper is,I said, more for the sake of talking than for anything else,"why do you not recover it?"
2126In brief,I said,"what do you propose?"
2126Is he?
2126Is our late fellow passenger, Mr. Ahmadeen, connected with the matter?
2126Is that where you found it?
2126Is the Burton Room open to the public again?
2126Is there someone with him, then?
2126It is a bit like an Indian conjuring trick,I said, looking up to the sky above us;"who fired the shot?"
2126It was a porter--?
2126Look here, my lad,he said quietly;"is that door locked?"
2126May I use your telephone?
2126Meanwhile, I take it, the safe must remain at Dulwich?
2126Mr. Boulter, sir? 2126 Now,"said Bristol, with a sort of awe in his voice,"where did he fall from?"
2126Perhaps it is,he agreed;"but how otherwise are we likely to learn what happened to Marden and West?"
2126Ready?
2126Safe locked?
2126Shall I bring it?
2126The lady who came in the large blue car, a gray- haired lady?
2126The place is watched during the day, of course?
2126The real danger begins,I suggested to him,"when the general public is admitted-- after to- day, is it not?"
2126The slipper of the Prophet?
2126Then what were you doing on the train with the slipper?
2126Then you are not come from him?
2126Then you persist in pretending that we have not met before?
2126Then you think,I said,"that the English phase of the slipper''s history is closed?
2126Then,I whispered-"it had n''t been stolen?"
2126There have been mysterious outrages committed, I believe, upon many of those who have come in contact with the slipper?
2126To steal it?
2126Too much work?
2126Touched nothing, of course?
2126Was he expecting it?
2126Well, what''s he doing?
2126West may have seen nothing; but how else could any one enter?
2126What do you mean?
2126What do you mean?
2126What do you want with me?
2126What do you want? 2126 What do you want?"
2126What has happened?
2126What is he like?
2126What is in the bag?
2126What is it, then, that Dexter asks me to do?
2126What is it--?
2126What is it? 2126 What is it?"
2126What is the ground like beyond?
2126What precautions,someone asked,"are being taken to guard the slipper?"
2126What shall you do? 2126 What sort of house is Professor Deeping''s?"
2126What sort of sounds?
2126What steps have you taken to protect yourself?
2126What?
2126When did Dexter first conceive the plan to steal the slipper?
2126When did this arrive?
2126Where are you speaking from?
2126Where did it go?
2126Where is he?
2126Where were you?
2126Where''s the doctor?
2126Who are you?
2126Who gave you this, boy?
2126Who lives there?
2126Who on earth did it,he muttered,"and what the blazes for?"
2126Who''s there?
2126Who''s there?
2126Why did you force the door?
2126Why do these people pursue you?
2126Why?
2126Will you please come in?
2126Will you please get me a bowl of water and a sponge?
2126Wind in the bushes?
2126Yes, sir?
2126Yes,was the reply,"did you notice her, then?"
2126You agree, then?
2126You are possibly about to ask me,I suggested,"to assist Earl Dexter to escape the police?"
2126You did n''t notice his departure, then?
2126You do n''t agree, then?
2126You do n''t need to ask what''s in the bag?
2126You have absolutely no clue to the whereabouts of Earl Dexter?
2126You observed a tall Eastern gentleman in the room a while ago, officer?
2126You say he has not been traced?
2126You say that someone heard the sound of the shot?
2126You searched for the murderer, of course?
2126You see that Greenwich car-- nearly at the Ophthalmic Hospital? 2126 You speak of the Hashishin?"
2126You think the body may have been carried here from somewhere else?
2126You think we shall next hear of Earl Dexter from the river police?
2126You will recall my story of the scimitar which flashed before me in the darkness of my stateroom on the Mandalay? 2126 You''ll want to know how I escaped from the cursed death- trap at Hassan''s house in Kent?
2126After all, in what possible way could it jeopardize his plans for me merely to pretend to bring the keys?
2126And who was his beautiful associate?
2126And you thought you would like to make my acquaintance without troubling about the usual formalities?
2126And--""Yes?"
2126Are you content to remain idle while his murderer escapes?"
2126Azraeel?"
2126But what was the stir about?
2126But what was this creature?
2126By what means were Marden and West struck down?
2126CHAPTER XXVI THE STRONG- ROOM I wonder how often a sense of humour has saved a man from desperation?
2126Can you come down now?"
2126Cavanagh?"
2126Cavanagh?"
2126Consider this with the new fact, above, and to what conclusion do you come?
2126Could it be that others, in no way connected with the dreadful Hassan of Aleppo, were in quest of the slipper?
2126Could it be that some of them had not yet left the country?
2126Did I dream it all?"
2126Did the time signify anything?
2126Did you see a lady enter the lift?"
2126Do you see her?
2126Do you wonder that I feared?
2126Do you wonder that I hoped( I confess it), hoped that the slipper might be recovered without further bloodshed?
2126From the shrubbery on the south, through the other windows could I be seen?
2126Had I done rightly or should I have acted otherwise?
2126Had I not fled to the Astoria to escape from the dangerous solitude of my rooms?
2126Have you found Dexter?"
2126How did he get in touch with him?
2126How had Deeping met his death?
2126I ask you-- have you the courage of your convictions?"
2126I obeyed, for what else could I do?
2126I should say you wo n''t be in a hurry to peer through letter boxes and so forth in the future?"
2126I whispered,"did I dream it all?
2126If so, what?
2126In thus exposing ourselves, in order that we might trap the author or authors of the outrage, did we act wisely?
2126Is Mr. Isaacs at home, I wonder?"
2126Isaacs?"
2126Lively, ai n''t it?
2126Might I not, by my mere presence in that place, unwittingly be interfering now?
2126Now, Mr. Cavanagh, what is his game?"
2126Of what are you speaking?"
2126Or was it that I recollected how Dexter had booked two passages to America?
2126Quite apart from the question of where the dwarf fell from, who shot at him and why?"
2126Same with you?"
2126See the idea?
2126Then had I not encountered her again, meeting the glance of her unforgettable violet eyes outside a Strand hotel?
2126Then--"The new problem,"said the Commissioner,"is this: who took the slipper, Dexter or Hassan of Aleppo?"
2126Then--"Why do you ask me to do this?"
2126Was he attacked?"
2126Was it Bristol?
2126Was the girl with the violet eyes an ally of the Hashishin?
2126What am I here for, when I might be on the way to Liverpool, and safety?"
2126What did it mean?
2126What do you make of it all?"
2126What gave you the idea?"
2126What happened?
2126What have you to say to me?"
2126What in heaven''s name did it all mean?
2126What now?
2126What objection can Mr. Isaacs have to photographers?"
2126What shall I say?"
2126What the devil is it?"
2126What then?
2126What was the matter with which I was warned not to interfere?
2126What were these things that approached, silently, stealthily-- like snakes in the grass?
2126What''s it all about?"
2126What?"
2126Where does he come in?
2126Where had I met him before?
2126Where''s the prospects?"
2126Who is his companion?"
2126Who was Ahmadeen?
2126Why are you following me?"
2126Why did n''t you tell me Mr. Knowlson was in?"
2126Why should I remind you of our previous meetings-- of the links which bind you to the history of the Prophet''s slipper?"
2126Why should n''t Earl Dexter be that third party?"
2126Why should this late visitor have rapped in so uncanny a fashion in preference to ringing the bell?
2126Why, I asked myself, had the attack been made at one o''clock?
2126Why, then, if the mysterious Eastern employed a European girl, should he not also employ an American man?
2126Will you undertake to look for some-- Eastern workmen, Mr. Bristol?
2126You are naturally wondering what the devil it all means?
2126You are thinking of my own immunity?"
2126You have seen the moon through a mist?--and known it for what it was in spite of its veiling?
2126You know what was left to guard the slipper while the Sheikh-- rot him-- was away looking after arrangements for getting his mob out of the country?"
2126You think that Dexter, minus his right hand, has eluded British law-- that Hassan and Company have evaded retribution?"
2126You thought I was pretty, I suppose?
2126You will remember what we found within it?
2126has he disappeared?"
2126jerked Hilton--"in the orchard?
2126never been in that room?"
2126said Bristol, looking around him in apparent surprise:"how long is he gone?"
2126what''s that?"
2126who is that?"
2343All you desire is a plain statement, is it not?
2343And the message?
2343And the white cock?
2343And you think you have evidence that he murdered his late master?
2343Anything more?
2343Are you Mr. John Scott Eccles, of Popham House, Lee?
2343But how come you into this matter, Miss Burnet?
2343But how? 2343 But tell me, Baynes, who is this man Henderson?"
2343But the crime?
2343But what is our hypothesis?
2343But what possible connection?
2343But what was he to witness?
2343But why do you follow me? 2343 But why should one servant return?"
2343Dead? 2343 Have you it there?"
2343How can an English lady join in such a murderous affair?
2343How did it run? 2343 How do you define the word''grotesque''?"
2343Man or woman?
2343May I ask, in the first place, why you came to me at all?
2343May I ask, sir, what you did then?
2343Oh, you did, did you?
2343Robbed?
2343That what had come again?
2343The object of the mulatto cook''s return?
2343The torn bird, the pail of blood, the charred bones, all the mystery of that weird kitchen?
2343Then why did they fly?
2343Then why did you arrest the mulatto?
2343Well, Watson,he asked, turning suddenly upon me,"what do you make of it?"
2343Well, what is the next step?
2343What became of him?
2343What do you make of it?
2343What do you suggest?
2343What was at the window, and when?
2343What''s the matter, Walters?
2343Will you see him?
2343You do n''t mean that Baynes has got him?
2343You have a clue?
2343You have a theory then?
2343Your nerve, Walters? 2343 An accident?
2343Any other point, Watson?"
2343Baynes?"
2343Baynes?"
2343But how about the disappearance of the others?"
2343But how are you affected?"
2343But, in the second place, why did you not come at once?"
2343By the way, Mr. Baynes, did you find anything remarkable besides this note in your examination of the house?"
2343Can you ask me, then, whether I am ready to look into any new problem, however trivial it may prove?
2343Could we see her, then and try to use her?
2343Did his companions follow him and kill him?
2343Did you chance to observe what became of it?"
2343Did you say he was dead?"
2343Gregson?"
2343Has he any one outstanding quality?
2343Has she perhaps met her end on the same night as the friend whom she had summoned?
2343Holmes?"
2343Holmes?"
2343How do I come to be mixed up with the case?"
2343I suppose the whole thing is not a vision and a touch of nerves?"
2343Is she alive?
2343Is there any point which is not quite clear to you?"
2343May I consult you?
2343Now, my dear Watson, is it beyond the limits of human ingenuity to furnish an explanation which would cover both of these big facts?
2343Now, what did he want with Eccles?
2343Now, where was the other end?
2343Or is she merely a prisoner?
2343That would explain his persistence, would it not?"
2343That would fully explain the facts, would it not?"
2343The oval seal is undoubtedly a plain sleeve- link-- what else is of such a shape?
2343Was there any clue, may I ask, as to the exact hour that the man met his death?"
2343What could Eccles supply?
2343What do you make of these bones?"
2343What do you want?"
2343What does the law of England care for the rivers of blood shed years ago in San Pedro, or for the shipload of treasure which this man has stolen?
2343What, then, might she be expected to do if she heard of his death?
2343Who then but Miss Burnet, the governess?
2343Who wrote the note?
2343Who, then, is most likely to have taken his life?
2343Why did they fly?
2343Why, then, was he picked out from all the other people whom Garcia met as particularly suited to his purpose?
2343You do n''t mean-- you do n''t mean that I am suspected?"
2343You were after Henderson?"
2345A holder?
2345And has had no letters or callers?
2345And he was well dressed?
2345And you connect this attack with your lodger?
2345But for what possible end?
2345But his meals?
2345But surely you or the girl enter his room of a morning?
2345But what is at the root of it?
2345But where, then, is Gennaro?
2345But who used him roughly?
2345But why? 2345 Did he observe the appearance of these men-- did he hear them talk?"
2345Did you observe them closely?
2345He gave no name?
2345How''s this, Watson?
2345May I introduce you to Mr. Sherlock Holmes?
2345Nothing wonderful in that, surely?
2345Of caution?
2345Oh, he has a European fame, has he? 2345 Oh, he went out the first night, did he?"
2345PERICOLO-- pericolo-- eh, what''s that, Watson? 2345 Prints it?"
2345Shall I go for the police?
2345Signals?
2345The hero of the Long Island cave mystery?
2345Was there a fellow about thirty, black- bearded, dark, of middle size?
2345Well, apart from this cigarette- end, was it not suggestive that the only time the lodger went out was immediately after his taking the rooms? 2345 Well, can you give me no further indications?"
2345Well, it figures out that way, does it not? 2345 Well?"
2345What were the terms?
2345What, indeed? 2345 When does he lunch?"
2345Who is he?
2345Why do you think so?
2345Why should you go further in it? 2345 Why should you think so?"
2345Why, whatever are you doing?
2345''Danger,''is n''t it?
2345But I''m at the end of my patience, and when it comes to knocking my old man about--""Knocking Mr. Warren about?"
2345But beware of what?
2345Do you say nothing has come out of that room-- absolutely nothing?"
2345Gorgiano of the Red Circle?"
2345Holmes?"
2345Holmes?"
2345How could you call?"
2345How is any news or any message to reach him from without?
2345How many did you make it?
2345How often will he repeat it?
2345How''s that, Watson?
2345How, and by whom?
2345I suppose when you doctored you found yourself studying cases without thought of a fee?"
2345Is it not so?"
2345It sounds plausible, does it not?
2345Seclusion I can understand; but why print?
2345Suggestive, Watson, is it not?"
2345That ca n''t be all, Watson?
2345The general sequence of events is pretty clear, is it not?
2345The gentleman was bearded and moustached, you say?"
2345Then, again, why such laconic messages?"
2345Warren?"
2345Well, Mrs. Warren, what now?"
2345What about his luggage?"
2345What age would he be?"
2345What brings you here?"
2345What can it matter to him that his landlady should have a word of his writing?
2345What do you make of it, Watson?"
2345What has he done?
2345What have you to gain from it?"
2345What is at the root of it all?
2345What is he hiding for?
2345What woman could ever be worthy of such a man?"
2345What would it suggest, Watson?"
2345What''s that?
2345Where is Gennaro?
2345Why not write?
2345Why should such a message stop in such a way?
2345You are police, are you not?
2345You do n''t object to tobacco, I take it?
2345You say that the man came ten days ago and paid you for a fortnight''s board and lodging?"
2345You understand, madam, that your husband will be arrested and tried for the death of the man who lies before us?
2345what news do you bring us this morning?"
15323A tall woman, very fine figure, beautifully dressed?
15323Ai n''t man- traps dangerous? 15323 And am I far from Friar''s Park?"
15323And did he call again?
15323And is Lady Burnham often seen about?
15323And that is all you know of him, Isobel?
15323And the agent?
15323And the voice on the telephone?
15323And they were?
15323And what has he to do with the man- traps in the Park?
15323And you believe Coverly''s silence to be due to the fact that he is shielding some one?
15323And,continued the voice--"could you spare Coates with the car for an hour?"
15323Any other servants?
15323Are you quite sure that you will not be nervous on your way?
15323Are you_ alone_, then?
15323At the Abbey Inn?
15323At your throat?
15323Besides-- who put the body into the crate? 15323 But I understand the estate is mortgaged?"
15323But in what way is he responsible for these evils of which you complain?
15323But not on this side of the cottage?
15323But surely he can satisfactorily account for his movements? 15323 But surely some name, some address, must have been given?"
15323But the purpose of it?
15323But the servants?
15323But what could have been his object?
15323But what for? 15323 But what has Dr. Greefe to do with all this?"
15323But who can have rung up the police station last night?
15323But you had met him?
15323But, Gatton, you do n''t mean that she, too, met with foul play?
15323But, Gatton,_ what_ did you find on the tower-- and what connection exists between the tower and the explosion which occurred here to- night?
15323But, my dear Gatton, why should he regard_ me_ as a menace more deadly than you, for instance?
15323But,I exclaimed,"you surely do n''t mean that there are traps laid in the grounds of the Park?
15323But,I said, and hesitated, for I feared I might wound his curious susceptibility--"the damage to your face?"
15323But-- the woman?
15323Can I be of further assistance to you at the moment?
15323Can I use my electric torch?
15323Can nothing be done, Gatton? 15323 Can you do it?"
15323Can you doubt it?
15323Can you possibly come along at once?
15323Can you tell me where I shall find him?
15323Cassim?
15323College Road?
15323Danger?
15323Danger?
15323Dare I ask you,she added pleadingly,"to conceal from him if necessary the fact that I have been here?"
15323Did Lady Burnham accompany him to Egypt?
15323Did you ever hear tell of the evil eye?
15323Did you know Sir Marcus?
15323Did you look about you at all before opening this door?
15323Do n''t you think,I said,"that we are attaching perhaps undue importance to the fact that some kind of fittings have been removed from the doors?
15323Do you know of what he died?
15323Do you mean it?
15323Do you mean that from first to last no one but the district messenger appeared in the matter?
15323Do you notice a peculiar smell?
15323Do you refer to the woman who visited me at the Abbey Inn?
15323Do you seriously believe,said I,"that Eric Coverly had anything whatever to do with the death of his cousin?"
15323Does Lady Coverly object to any one entering the grounds?
15323Does anything strike you as curious about this arrangement?
15323Does he know you, sir?
15323Does he refer to Marie?
15323Except for the absence of the crate do you notice anything different, anything missing, or anything there now that was not there before?
15323Footprints?
15323For what do you want him?
15323For what reason?
15323For_ my_ return?
15323From whom did these instructions come?
15323Good evening, constable,I said;"I expected to meet a friend here-- Inspector Gatton, of Scotland Yard-- you may know him?"
15323H''m,muttered Gatton;"and you carried the keys in your pocket until you went off duty?"
15323Had she any peculiarities of appearance or manner by which you would recognize her again?
15323Has it?
15323Have you seen the evening papers?
15323He still refused to explain his movements on the night of the murder?
15323He was going alone, then?
15323He''s right, ai n''t he, Martin?
15323Hope you was n''t caught in the shower, this morning, sir?
15323How is that? 15323 I am afraid, Isobel,"I replied,"that what I have to tell you is not by any means pleasant-- although--""Yes?"
15323I knew about-- some of the others, but Sir Marcus was-- very reserved about this lady, which made me think--"Yes?
15323I suggest it was the same woman that Sir Marcus went to see last night?
15323I suppose so,she said sadly;"it seems madness, does n''t it?"
15323I understood that my niece was here?
15323I wonder,said I,"if''A,''the wanted man, is among the crowd?
15323If he is in a position to establish an alibi why not do it now and be done with the whole unsavory business?
15323In other words,said I,"you are still without a ghost of a clew to the identity of the person who committed the murder, and to the means employed?"
15323In that room where supper was laid for two?
15323In what way?
15323Indeed, sir,said Coates;"did you see the lady, then?"
15323Indeed,said I,"a local Carpentier, no doubt?"
15323Indeed? 15323 Inspector Gatton asked you thus?"
15323Is he a friend of yours?
15323Is it something to do with the discovery at the docks this morning, sir?
15323Is it very valuable?
15323Is that all you know of the matter?
15323Is that you, Isobel?
15323It''s an extraordinary thing, is n''t it?
15323Lady Burnham? 15323 May I know the particulars?"
15323No doubt,I said rather guiltily,"you refer to the fact of my acquaintance with Miss Isobel Merlin?"
15323No,said the old man, cunningly;"you ca n''t, eh?
15323No?
15323Not of a_ jealous_ woman?
15323Now give me the keys,and as the man did so:"Throughout all this time did you see or hear anything of an unusual nature?"
15323Now, when did you last see Sir Marcus?
15323Of resentment? 15323 Oh,"replied Gatton,"is that so?"
15323Perhaps the crate was in the way?
15323Possibly a contrivance for reclosing the door?
15323Practice? 15323 Roger Coverly?"
15323Run?
15323Shall you be going out again to- night, sir?
15323Shall you require me again to- night, sir?
15323She?
15323Sir Burnham has been dead for several years, I believe?
15323Sir Burnham? 15323 Sir Marcus had not led you to suppose that there was any likelihood of his_ not_ returning last night?"
15323Some hold upon Lady Burnham, then?
15323Spoor? 15323 Strange,"I muttered; then:"My name is Addison, constable,"I said,"and if any one should ask for me will you direct him to proceed to my house?"
15323Surely,I said,"the rain has ceased?"
15323The_ Oritoga_ mystery?
15323The_ first_ victim?
15323Then Dr. Greefe is not popular?
15323Then I can drive you over?
15323Then Sir Burnham died shortly afterwards?
15323Then he has private means?
15323Then in the case of, er-- Mr. Adams,I said,"you never had any particulars whatever?"
15323Then the opening and closing of the doors was merely a device for ringing the bell?
15323Then what was it?
15323Then will you step out, Coates, keeping carefully to the paths, and proceed as far as the tool- shed? 15323 Then you did not inspire the message?"
15323Then, secondly,continued Gatton,"was your master ever in Egypt?"
15323There is the girl, Mary?
15323To what danger do you refer?
15323To whom do you suppose you are indebted for the telephone trick?
15323Touchy?
15323Very touchy, I should think?
15323Very well,I said;"but before I begin-- when did you arrive?"
15323Wait a moment,I interrupted;"to whom did he deliver these keys?"
15323Waited for me?
15323We understand one another, but how is Miss Merlin going to explain this?
15323Well--Gatton raised his eyebrows--"what do_ you_ suggest?"
15323Well, Coates?
15323Well, does n''t it strike you as odd? 15323 Well,"continued Hawkins--"it''s kind o''funny, ai n''t it, Martin?"
15323Well,he answered,"ignoring everything else for the moment, who else benefits by Sir Marcus Coverly''s death?"
15323Well,said Gatton, looking at me oddly,"in addition to the texture of the curtain do you notice anything else?"
15323Were the cousins good friends?
15323What are you talking about?
15323What are your arrangements in the case of fire?
15323What black doctor?
15323What can you expect?
15323What do you mean, Gatton?
15323What do you mean? 15323 What do you mean?
15323What do you mean?
15323What do you mean?
15323What does this mean, Gatton?
15323What has alarmed you?
15323What has it to do with you?
15323What have we to do?
15323What is it?
15323What is that?
15323What is that?
15323What is the object of all this?
15323What living relatives had Sir Marcus?
15323What the devil do_ I_ know about Marcus''s death?
15323What was her name?
15323What was it?
15323What was that?
15323What was this discovery?
15323What woman?
15323What you may term the hocus- pocus side of the case,he replied,"turns on matters Egyptian, does n''t it?
15323What''s the game?
15323What''s_ my_ job, for instance? 15323 What, that is all?"
15323What?
15323What_ can_ it be?
15323Whatever happens or whoever knocks do n''t open to any one, you understand? 15323 Whatever prompted you to do that?"
15323When are you going, Isobel?
15323When did you last see Coverly?
15323Where can I find a candle?
15323Where is that, sir?
15323Where is your villa?
15323Which is the nearest?
15323Who are''they''?
15323Why this disguise?
15323Why? 15323 Will any one be up to let me in or should you prefer to give me the key of the side door?"
15323Will you let me drive you in the Rover?--or are you taking too much baggage?
15323Would it be possible for me to have a few minutes''conversation with Mr. Edward Hines?
15323Would it not be advisable, Inspector,I asked excitedly,"to make sure of her at once?"
15323Yes, Coates?
15323Yes?
15323Yes?
15323Yet you have no positive evidence that Dr. Greefe is responsible for the setting of these man- traps and the attitude of Hawkins?
15323You are a stranger to this neighborhood, I gather?
15323You are quite sure of that?
15323You are still of the opinion that the mark upon the crate and the image of the cat- woman have an important bearing upon the crime?
15323You are sure he_ did_ escape?
15323You are worried about Eric?
15323You do n''t know the name of a woman who gave you a costly trinket of this kind?
15323You do n''t mean to tell me, Isobel, that Coverly has persisted in his silence respecting his movements last night? 15323 You do n''t think that I or Eric have anything to hide?"
15323You have definitely convinced yourself that the telephone device was practiced there?
15323You have never visited this neighborhood before?
15323You have orders to admit no one, constable?
15323You have seen no one hanging about who might have been sent by him?
15323You hear it?
15323You mean Marie?
15323You mean she tried to throttle you?
15323You mean that Lady Coverly lives alone in the place with only-- er, Mrs. Hawkins to look after her?
15323You mean that Roger Coverly was-- murdered?
15323You mean that he was in the house at the time that the constable and I opened the garage?
15323You mean that they are howling?
15323You mean?
15323You saw Marie?
15323You see?
15323You suggest that I should go down to Friar''s Park and interview Lady Burnham Coverly?
15323A bit gusty?"
15323A blighted spot, ai n''t it, Martin?"
15323A thunder- bolt would be the popular theory, and if any fragments of shell were found who would ever know from where it had been fired?"
15323Accordingly, I caused it to be refilled, thus preventing any check in the flow of his eloquence, and:"In what way?"
15323Addison?"
15323Addison?"
15323Addison?"
15323Again Gatton paused, taking out his pipe and pouch, and:"Who was this person?"
15323Ai n''t they, Martin?"
15323And if she was none other than my late elegant visitor why had she sought the interview?
15323And on this occasion it was Coates who repeated in an amazed voice:"_ She_?"
15323And she was not my niece?"
15323And thirdly( the most appalling mystery of all) who or what was the woman with the cat''s eyes?
15323And what about shot- guns?
15323And what did he do at this hour in deserted Friar''s Park?
15323And why should any one shoot at visitors?"
15323Are you certain that it was for me she asked?"
15323Are you expecting to see him to- day?"
15323Are you game?"
15323Are you joining him at the solicitors'', Isobel?"
15323Are you returning home now or going to the_ Planet_ office?"
15323But Gatton did not heed my words, for:"What the devil have we here?"
15323But can you explain how this stuff comes to be floating about the floor of your house?"
15323But do you mean the Red House in College Road?"
15323But he prides himself on his looks, do n''t he, Martin?"
15323But how was poor Lady Coverly disposed of-- and why this elaborate secrecy?"
15323But presently:"What was the object of the opening and closing of the garage doors at the Red House?"
15323But what relation to the death of Sir Marcus did the disappearance of Lady Burnham Coverly bear?
15323But why did this fiend try to murder me?"
15323But why had she come to visit me at the Abbey Inn and what had she gained by this interview?
15323But why was the contrivance not removed?"
15323But you have not told me if you knew him?"
15323But, since I had never seen her before, did this theory account for her visit?
15323But,"he continued,"what do you make of these marks on the door?"
15323Can I come up?"
15323Can you meet me at the Red House at five o''clock?"
15323Could I have mistaken the path and be proceeding, not towards the house, but away from it, and into the gloom of the woods?
15323Did n''t he, Martin?"
15323Do n''t you see, Inspector, that this is a deeply and cunningly laid trap?
15323Do you know on what I think the whole thing turns?"
15323Do you see?"
15323Does he practice about here?"
15323Finally:"I believe,"he replied,"that there was a lady there who--"He paused, swallowing, and:"Yes,"Gatton prompted,"who--?"
15323Following a brief interval:"Of course,"I said,"you would recognize the woman again?"
15323For some time I watched him in silence, and then:"What do you think you have found?"
15323Gatton spoke with repressed excitement, and:"What do you mean by''the next move''?"
15323Got that fixed?"
15323Greefe?"
15323Had Sir Marcus a car?"
15323Have n''t you seen the exchange number?
15323He fell down in that seat where you''re sitting now and fainted right off, did n''t he, Martin?
15323He paused a moment, then:"Was Sir Marcus interested in some one engaged at the New Avenue Theater?"
15323He surveyed me with cunning, old rheumy eyes, and:"What about man- traps?"
15323He turned and departed, but:"What kind of figure?"
15323However-- the murder- machine erected in accordance with the earlier plan was still there--""Where?"
15323I ask you-- what is it?"
15323I began to grow keenly interested, and:"Surely you took some steps in the matter?"
15323I cried,"and what can have been the object of this unknown person?"
15323I cried--"and did any one knock?"
15323I cried--"where is all this leading us, Gatton?"
15323I cried--"where_ is_ Lady Burnham?"
15323I do n''t think_ that_ mystery was ever cleared up?"
15323I exclaimed,"a negro?"
15323I exclaimed--"what had they to say?"
15323I felt myself changing color, and:"What, then, does the stage- doorkeeper assert?"
15323I mean, Jack, what can he possibly have to conceal?"
15323I muttered--"what does it all mean?"
15323I paused, idly curious concerning the message, and:"The Red House,"continued the sergeant,"in College Road?
15323I said,"do you understand?
15323I stared at him silently for a moment, then:"You mean that the crate was specially designed to contain the body?"
15323I stared silently a while, and then:"In short, a rival of Miss Merlin''s?"
15323I thought that I was about to learn the very fact which I was seeking, and accordingly:"What is the age of Lady Burnham Coverly?"
15323In the event of his being put on trial for murder?"
15323In the first place did you ever see this before?"
15323Is he a negro?"
15323Is it likely?"
15323Is it possible for you to come at once?"
15323Is that all?"
15323Is there any vacant room above from which we can look out in the same direction as from your window?"
15323Is there no possible line of inquiry hitherto neglected which might lead to the discovery of the truth?
15323Is this arrangement consistent with your journalistic conscience?"
15323It must have been some fiend who committed such a crime, not a human being--""Then,"I interrupted excitedly,"Coverly was not with you last night?"
15323Look!_""What the devil is it?"
15323May I ask if Lady Coverly knew of your proposed visit?"
15323Maybe you was thinkin''of lookin''over it like?"
15323Might I ask the nature of the gift?"
15323Might I suggest that his most recent encounter was with a barbed- wire entanglement?"
15323Now if Gatton should arrive and find me in Isobel''s flat, what construction would he put upon my presence?
15323Now, what_ is_ that figure exactly?"
15323Of big game?"
15323Or could it be the fact that she had preceded me?
15323Pulling one of the drawers open, he took out a little gold figure of Bâst, and holding it towards me:"Is this the thing you mean?"
15323Recalling again that huskily caressing voice, I asked myself the question:_ Had_ I seen her before?
15323Secondly, what was Dr. Damar Greefe''s place in the scheme?
15323Seeing my expression of incredulous surprise:"Yes,"said Gatton, smiling,"it''s a strange arrangement, is n''t it?"
15323Shall I add that the primary cause of my reclusion no longer operated so powerfully?
15323Shall I find him yonder?"
15323She has gone, then?"
15323She was infinitely more useful alive than dead, Mr. Addison; and they hoped to keep up the solemn farce until--""Yes?"
15323Shot- guns can make a party feel sick, ca n''t they?
15323Sir Marcus''s uncle?"
15323Some connection between this room and the garage?"
15323Suppose we investigate the other door?"
15323The Park all shut up; and the Park_ was_ the Park in them days-- warn''t it, Martin?"
15323The identity of the''nurse''is evident, I think?"
15323The tension of that silence becoming insupportable:"You will not stay here alone?"
15323Then, abruptly:"Did Sir Marcus ever visit any one who lived in College Road?"
15323Then, who was the"niece"so closely guarded by Dr. Greefe?
15323Then:"Surely the Park is still occupied by Lady Coverly?"
15323There was three or four of us here, there was that night, was n''t there, Martin?
15323Therefore:"Is he badly disfigured?"
15323Towards whom?"
15323Was it Mrs. Wentworth_ herself_ who''phoned?"
15323Was it a man or a woman who ordered the cab?"
15323Was it a selfish joy, I wonder, which possessed me as I noted the restrained impatience with which Isobel spoke of Coverly?
15323We returned to the study, and:"You will have seen the daily papers?"
15323We were back here a few minutes later,_ Now_ do you see?"
15323What are you driving at?"
15323What developments, Gatton?"
15323What did you mean,"he continued,"when you said that I was concerned in some way in''the_ Oritoga_ mystery''?"
15323What do you mean?"
15323What do you think about that for a story, eh, sir?"
15323What else can it mean?
15323What is her explanation?"
15323What is her relation to Dr. Damar Greefe and in what way is she interested in the destruction of the Coverly family?"
15323What is it that you propose I should do?"
15323What kind of a woman would it be who could do a deed like that?"
15323What must we do, Gatton?
15323What object underlay her diverse activities?
15323What on earth does this mean?
15323What then did it all mean?
15323What then?"
15323What was that shot?"
15323What was the purpose of the watch and ward kept by the gipsy game- keeper over the grounds and approaches to the house?
15323What was the quarrel about?"
15323What''s he doin''of up there at Park all day?
15323What_ could_ it be that Coverly was concealing?
15323When did it happen?"
15323When the laughter had subsided, scenting possible information:"I gather,"said I,"that you get few shooting- parties nowadays?"
15323Where''s the pepper?
15323Whereupon:"Will you have tea or coffee for breakfast?"
15323Who else, that we know about, is associated, or ever has been associated with Egypt?"
15323Who has been quarreling with you?"
15323Who was Sir Marcus''s solicitor?"
15323Who was he?
15323Who was this woman whose elusive figure appeared at every turn in the case?
15323Why had the masterful Eurasian retired to that retreat in company with his black servitor?
15323Why have you been masquerading in this fashion?
15323Why the devil did n''t you tell me?"
15323Wilkins sleeps over the stables--""Can you make him hear without going downstairs?"
15323Will you allow no one to advise you?
15323Will you come with me or are you otherwise engaged?"
15323With ever- growing misgivings:"What does it contain?"
15323With the idea of drawing yet more intimate confidences:"You suggest that Dr. Greefe had some hold upon the late Sir Burnham?"
15323Yet a moment afterwards I regretted that I had done so, for:"Are_ you_ going to quarrel with me, too?"
15323You are looking for_ spoor_, you understand?"
15323You know the Red House in College Road?"
15323You mean the_ empty_ house?"
15323You understand what I mean?"
15323You understand?
15323You visited Friar''s Park?"
15323You''ll bear me out, sir, if there''s any complaint?"
15323Your place is right off the beat, is n''t it?"
15323_"She?
15323_''Phoned_, you say?
15323an accident?"
15323and a friend of Hawkins?"
15323he exclaimed, peering towards me where I stood in the badly lighted room--"Mr. Addison, I believe?"
15323said Gatton,"who instructed you to come here?"
15323said I,"and have you been in the garden this morning, Coates?"
15323said I; then:"Yes-- about our mutilated young friend?"
15323said he--"you''ve solved the mystery, have you?
15323why did you leave me to make that awful mistake?"
2348A savage?
2348Absurdly commonplace, is it not?
2348Ah, what has happened to the Lady Frances? 2348 And who is Miss Marie Devine?"
2348But does this mean that any harm has befallen the Lady Frances?
2348But the boots and the bath?
2348Could they have forged a medical certificate?
2348Did he give a name?
2348Did you see anyone?
2348Is Miss Dobney the only source of information? 2348 Is she gone, Watson?
2348May I ask what your name is?
2348Then may I recommend that you return there and be on hand in case I should want you? 2348 These people do not know you by sight?"
2348To whom, and where?
2348Well, what do you want?
2348Well?
2348What can I do?
2348What do you want with the coffin? 2348 What does it show?"
2348What has happened to her, then?
2348What have you done with her? 2348 What if I am?"
2348What is that?
2348What is this?
2348What the devil do you mean? 2348 What time was the funeral?
2348Where is the Lady Frances Carfax?
2348Where is your warrant?
2348Who is the dead woman?
2348Absurd, is it not?
2348Are you armed?"
2348But what has this man to do with the matter?"
2348But why?
2348But why?"
2348Can you pick any hole in that, Mr. Holmes?
2348Could the good people who were her companions not screen her from his violence or his blackmail?
2348Eight, was it not?"
2348Good heavens, Watson, what has become of any brains that God has given me?
2348Green?"
2348Had he already overtaken her?
2348Holmes?"
2348How would Lausanne do, my dear Watson-- first- class tickets and all expenses paid on a princely scale?"
2348Is she alive or dead?
2348Is there a spark left?
2348Let me see, what were the points?
2348Once again I ask you, where is your warrant?"
2348Otherwise why should not her luggage have been openly labelled for Baden?
2348Surely she had other correspondents?"
2348The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle"But why Turkish?"
2348Was THAT the secret of her continued silence?
2348Well, what remains?
2348What could the coffin mean, and for whom could it be but for her?"
2348What does this mean?
2348What happened next?"
2348What horrible purpose, what deep design, lay behind this long pursuit?
2348What is your business in my house?"
2348Where is that coffin which was brought into your house?"
2348Who has tied them?
2348Why have you pursued her?
2348Why so large a coffin for so small a body?
2348Why the relaxing and expensive Turkish rather than the invigorating home- made article?"
2348Why?
2348Would you go in, Watson?
10537About the paper?
10537Alone?
10537Am I right,she asked softly,"in imagining that just now things are going a little wrong?"
10537Am I to understand,Vine asked,"that it was you whose voice I heard at the telephone?"
10537And how does that concern you?
10537And since then?
10537And supposing I tell you,she answered calmly,"that I shall not permit a second burglary in this room within twenty- four hours?"
10537And this man Vine, Mr. Norris Vine, have you met him?
10537And you will marry Mr. Vine, then,she said,"at once?"
10537And you?
10537Any news?
10537Any particulars?
10537Are these men ordinary burglars?
10537Are we all mad or bewitched or what?
10537Are you a millionaire?
10537Are you getting older, Norris?
10537Are you in earnest, sir?
10537Are you in love with him?
10537Are you sure of your facts, Vine?
10537Are you sure that the thing is not a forgery?
10537Are you well enough now,he asked,"to tell me about this?"
10537As for instance?
10537Aunt,he said,"ca n''t you trust a little in my judgment?
10537Big day?
10537But say, is n''t that rather rough upon your uncle?
10537But why? 10537 But why?"
10537Ca n''t she be got at?
10537Ca n''t you buy this paper or whatever it is?
10537Can I come too?
10537Can I have three words with you?
10537Can you come around to the club with me now, and have a talk?
10537Can you come round?
10537Can you tell me,he asked,"if Miss Longworth has left any address?"
10537Did she give you any idea?
10537Did she leave any address for letters?
10537Did she leave her name?
10537Did you stay in New York?
10537Did you wish to see me?
10537Do any of you know,he asked,"whereabouts in that infernal little room of his Duge keeps his papers?"
10537Do n''t you think,he said,"that you can give me your advice better if you do not know?
10537Do you believe her story?
10537Do you care for me a little, Virginia?
10537Do you happen to know,he asked,"where she is now?"
10537Do you happen to remember the address she gave you?
10537Do you know that I very nearly went?
10537Do you know that your cousin is in London?
10537Do you know what a fool I have been making of myself for the last week or so? 10537 Do you know where she is to be found?"
10537Do you know who he was, this man?
10537Do you know who that was with him?
10537Do you know,she reminded him,"that I have saved your life to- night?"
10537Do you mean that that is Stella?
10537Do you mean that?
10537Do you mean that?
10537Do you mean this, Virginia?
10537Do you mean, Norris, then, that after all you will not use your power over these men, that you will let them go free?
10537Do you mean,he asked,"that you have run away from your uncle?"
10537Do you mind,he said,"if we do n''t discuss it?
10537Do you think that I do n''t understand you better than that? 10537 Do you want me to kiss you?"
10537Does Mr. Vine generally come up this way to his rooms?
10537Does it need any particular reason?
10537Forgive me?
10537Friends, then?
10537From every one on board, as well as from your letters if you write from Queenstown?
10537Gone into the country?
10537Had n''t you better tell me?
10537Has anything been taken?
10537Has anything gone?
10537Has he been near you?
10537Has he offered any explanation?
10537Has she taken anything?
10537Have you come here to tell me that, my dear Guy?
10537Have you forgotten that I have asked you to marry me?
10537Have you no friends in London,he asked,"to whom you could apply for a loan?"
10537Have you ordered?
10537Have you seen her before?
10537He has told you, then, why he sent me away?
10537He is conscious, then?
10537He knows he is in danger, then?
10537Heard the news?
10537His name?
10537How are you, cousin Virginia?
10537How are you, my dear?
10537How can I make you believe me?
10537How can I tell?
10537How can you ask me that, Virginia?
10537How could I help liking it?
10537How did you find me out?
10537How did you find that out?
10537How did you hear this?
10537How do you do, Miss Longworth?
10537How do you know that I have the paper?
10537How do you know that he has done so?
10537How long is it,Phineas Duge asked,"since you saw her?"
10537How much,Mr. Phineas Duge asked,"were you to receive if you took back an answer?"
10537How should I, my dear boy?
10537I am glad, that is to say, unless--"Unless what?
10537I am not really tired at all,she assured him,"only you see I have never been in a big city, and it is very noisy here, is n''t it?
10537I am tired of being poor, are n''t you, Norris? 10537 I beg your pardon,"he said,"you are Miss Longworth?"
10537I suppose it is quite useless asking to see him?
10537I suppose you have found that child?
10537I suppose you have heard,he said,"that a warrant was issued this afternoon for the arrest of your friends, Higgins and Weiss?"
10537I trust that your Grace is well?
10537In the first place,Weiss said,"what about that paper we signed?
10537Is he in love with you?
10537Is my aunt in?
10537Is n''t there any way of getting in without being seen by all this crowd?
10537Is she alone?
10537Is she ill?
10537Is that how it is with you, Norris?
10537Is that necessary?
10537Is there any one else?
10537Is there any-- specific disease?
10537Is there anywhere here where we can talk?
10537It does not concern,the other asked,"my diplomatic position in any way?"
10537It is a pity,she added, with a faint smile upon her lips,"that those burglars did n''t, is n''t it?"
10537Left?
10537Littleson,he said,"before we commence to talk, have you seen anything of my niece over here?"
10537Make it into a family party, I suppose you were going to say?
10537May I ask what you intend to do?
10537May I be permitted,he asked,"to propose a toast-- or rather several toasts?
10537May I be quite frank?
10537Mind? 10537 Miss Longworth,"he said,"have you pluck enough to save us all several millions of dollars, and to make your uncle grateful to you for life?
10537Miss Longworth,it said,"wo n''t you allow me to sit at your table?
10537Mr. Littleson,she said,"would you do me a favour?"
10537My dear Guy,she expostulated,"what is the meaning of this?
10537My dear Norris,she said,"is n''t this rather a new departure for you?
10537My dear aunt,he said,"can you stand a shock?"
10537Name?
10537Not even,she asked,"if any one should bring a written message from you?"
10537Perhaps,she said, turning to him,"you will deny that it was you who incited my cousin Stella to come and rob her own father?"
10537Send for the police?
10537Shall I announce you?
10537Shall I take the rugs?
10537Shall I wait for a few minutes?
10537She has not the paper after all?
10537She seems just a little casual, does n''t she?
10537Sinclair,he said,"will you take my place for a moment?
10537So my coming does worry you?
10537So you know about that then, do you?
10537Some explanation of what?
10537Stella?
10537Supposing, on the other hand,she said,"something were to happen so that they were in a position to break him?"
10537Surely you do not hesitate to trust me?
10537Tell me,he said,"what is the matter with you, Virginia?"
10537That is the position, then, so far as you know it?
10537The price?
10537Then why, Mr. Vine,Littleson asked, bending over from his place,"have you come here to see us?"
10537This is n''t a dream, is it?
10537To whom?
10537Virginia,he said,"what is this man''s name?"
10537WILL YOU MARRY ME?
10537Was n''t I explicit enough?
10537We are to spare no expense, I presume?
10537Well, Guy, what is it?
10537Well, Mr. Vine,Weiss said,"what can we do for you?
10537Well, what is it?
10537Well,he asked, looking up as she entered,"have they made a move yet?"
10537Well?
10537Well?
10537Well?
10537Well?
10537What about your people?
10537What are you afraid of?
10537What are you going to do?
10537What are you thinking of?
10537What can I do for you during your stay? 10537 What can I have the pleasure of doing for you, Miss Longworth?"
10537What did you find was the matter with Miss Longworth, sir?
10537What did your servant mean by calling you''your Grace''?
10537What do I want?
10537What do you mean?
10537What do you mean?
10537What do you mean?
10537What do you mean?
10537What do you suppose this means?
10537What do you want with me, Weiss?
10537What do you want?
10537What do you want?
10537What does she want here?
10537What have you done with the paper that you stole from the safe?
10537What is it that you want to say to me, Guy?
10537What is it, sir?
10537What is that?
10537What on earth are you doing here?
10537What on earth is there to stop for if the man is n''t coming back for several days? 10537 What the devil are you talking about?"
10537What, you here in the lion''s den, Vine?
10537What, you mean the--?
10537Whatever made you sign such a paper?
10537When? 10537 Where are these people, Groves,"she asked,"who want to see me?"
10537Where are you taking us for supper?
10537Where can we go and sit down? 10537 Where did you meet?
10537Where is she now, Norris Vine?
10537Which do you prefer, Sherry''s or Delmonico''s?
10537Who am I, then, in your counsels? 10537 Who are you, and what are you doing in my rooms?"
10537Who are your people, then?
10537Who is he, then?
10537Who told you?
10537Who''s that?
10537Whom did she come with?
10537Why could n''t he be doing as we''ve done,Bardsley remarked,"and work from Chicago or Boston?"
10537Why did n''t you ask to read the thing through again?
10537Why have you come here?
10537Why not cable?
10537Why should you suspect a motive?
10537Why should you wish to run away from me at all?
10537Will I what?
10537Will you be willing,Stella asked calmly,"to pay the price when the time comes?"
10537Will you have some tea? 10537 Will you lunch with me to- morrow?"
10537Will you name it?
10537Will you please show Mr. Weiss out?
10537Will you sit down?
10537Without my uncle''s permission?
10537Wo n''t that be a little difficult?
10537Wonderful, is n''t it?
10537Would you consider him a shrewd man?
10537Would you mind, Stella,she said,"coming into the drawing- room with me?
10537You are American, I suppose, child?
10537You are English, are n''t you?
10537You are going away?
10537You are going away?
10537You are going to Europe, then?
10537You are going to be married?
10537You are not frightened, dear?
10537You ask me that, Virginia, seriously?
10537You brought them,Phineas Duge asked calmly,"from Norris Vine''s rooms?"
10537You bungled things, then?
10537You can not help me to find her, then?
10537You do n''t call this bothering her with questions, do you? 10537 You do n''t want to see the house, do you?"
10537You do not suppose,Stella asked,"that he meant to exclude his own daughter?"
10537You find it--he hesitated for a moment--"more amusing than at Wellham Springs?"
10537You have found him out?
10537You have known her, then,she said,"about three weeks?"
10537You have made up your mind, then?
10537You have n''t let your father have it back again?
10537You have n''t parted with it?
10537You have relations there, of course?
10537You have rooms in the building, have you not? 10537 You hear?"
10537You know Dan Prince is over here?
10537You know that I have? 10537 You like your life?"
10537You mean in your master''s room?
10537You mean that he will not be here to- night, after all?
10537You mean that you sent her away?
10537You mean you are a reporter?
10537You mean,Virginia demanded,"that you have not given it to Mr. Littleson and his friends?"
10537You mean,his host interrupted,"that you have taken sides against the Trusts?"
10537You mean,she said slowly,"would my filial devotion outweigh-- other considerations?"
10537You mean?
10537You never knew your cousin, I think?
10537You propose then,Phineas Duge said slowly,"to close our accounts on a mutual basis?"
10537You propose, then?
10537You refer,he said,"to the action against the Trusts which the President is supposed to be supporting so vigorously?"
10537You remember my daughter Stella?
10537You think that I ask you this,he said,"because I am sorry for you?"
10537You want to see my uncle, I suppose? 10537 You were just going out?"
10537You will not be going out to- night, sir? 10537 You will not give it to me, then?"
10537You wo n''t even open the desk for me, then?
10537Your cousin? 10537 A whisky and soda, or a glass of sherry?
10537After all, why not?
10537Am I right in assuming that he deceived us that night, that he himself never signed the paper?"
10537And thirdly, I want to know what the devil you have done with my niece, Virginia Longworth?"
10537Are you alone?"
10537Are you coming my way, Vine?
10537Are you going to write another of your sledge- hammer articles, damning us all to hell?
10537Are you satisfied with what I have done for you, and for your people?
10537Are you too going to join in the hustle for wealth?
10537As a matter of form, have you any further reasons why you wo n''t marry me?"
10537But can you tell me any reason why I should not be your friend?"
10537But what about-- Stella?"
10537But, after all, what concern was it of hers?
10537By the by, do you carry this document about with you?"
10537By the by, do you really mean that you have never been to New York before?"
10537By the by, does he ever say anything about me?"
10537By the by, you know Littleson, I suppose?
10537CHAPTER III"WILL YOU MARRY ME?"
10537Ca n''t I tempt you out for a little way in my automobile?
10537Ca n''t you be married here in London, and ask me to the wedding?"
10537Ca n''t you let it go at that for the present?"
10537Ca n''t you sympathize with us?
10537Ca n''t you understand that I want my man Janion?
10537Can I offer you anything before you go?
10537Can you deny it?"
10537Can you understand that?"
10537Could I get a passage and pay for it when I arrive?
10537Could n''t we-- couldn''t--?"
10537Could n''t you have a companion, or something of that sort, if you must come to these places?"
10537Could she steal out on tiptoe, throw one over his head, and escape with the paper before he could stop her?
10537Could the country stand such a sacrifice as this?
10537Do n''t you know that destiny, whether it be guided by other powers or not, was never meant to be shaped by the lookers- on?"
10537Do n''t you long sometimes to feel your feet off the treadmill?"
10537Do n''t you see the position we are in?"
10537Do n''t you see you are not old enough to be a judge of the serious things of life?
10537Do n''t you think that mine are broad enough, little girt?"
10537Do n''t you understand that after he has been so kind, I hate the feeling that I have been so abject a failure?"
10537Do you allow any one who chooses to come into the building and use the lift, and enter whatever apartment they choose?"
10537Do you believe that it is a genuine thing, or that he has some motive of his own for keeping to his room?"
10537Do you happen to have seen or heard anything of her?"
10537Do you know I have grown to hate those men?
10537Do you know anything about this illness of your father''s?
10537Do you know that every minute of the time Phineas Duge was supposed to be lying on his back, he was buying on the Chicago market?"
10537Do you know what these are?"
10537Do you know whether he is really laid up, or whether this is part of a scheme?"
10537Do you know whose niece she is, and whom she is staying with?"
10537Do you live in London?"
10537Do you mind excusing me?
10537Do you mind?
10537Do you realize, Littleson, that we may have to leave the country?"
10537Do you still think me cruel, Virginia?"
10537Do you think that I look like that, Virginia?"
10537Do you think that you would like to live here with me, Virginia, and be mistress of this house?"
10537Does he want me to marry you, I wonder?
10537Even then, unless she had time to lock him in, what chance would she have of leaving the building?
10537Guy, you are not sorry, are you?"
10537HE IMPLORED"ISN''T IT THE BUSINESS OF ANY MAN TO LOOK AFTER A CHILD LIKE YOU?"
10537Had he punished himself in sending her away?
10537Have you any commissions for us?
10537Have you anything to sell?"
10537Have you ever thought of the number of unexplained, if not undetected crimes you read of continually, in which the victims are generally rich men?
10537Have you nothing more to say to me than this, either of you?
10537How could I tell that she had another scheme in her mind?"
10537How do you know that these things which you talk about doing are right or necessary?
10537How do you like New York?"
10537How do you like our New York cooking?"
10537How long ago?"
10537How old are you?"
10537I am never to give them up to any one but you?"
10537I do not know why you should ask me?"
10537I have not offended you in any way, have I?"
10537I have therefore asked myself the question-- to whom on this side would he be likely to entrust it?
10537I presume that you know where he keeps his important papers?"
10537I presume you know that anything you desire is open to you?
10537I suppose you are an American?"
10537I suppose your people are all below?"
10537In other words, have you any feeling of what people, I believe, call gratitude towards me?"
10537In other words, will you help me look for that paper?"
10537In the country or in London?"
10537In the first place, I want to know whether you are going to make use of the paper which my daughter stole, and which you feloniously received?
10537In the second place, I want to know how much or what you will accept for the return of that paper?
10537Is he any relation to you?"
10537Is it worth while?"
10537Is n''t it the business of any man to look after a child like you?
10537Is this man your brother?"
10537It seems queer, does n''t it?"
10537Just a puppet, I suppose?
10537Leave America altogether and go to Europe?"
10537Littleson?"
10537Mr. Weiss was here, of course?"
10537Mrs. Deane, I trust, is well?"
10537Now what can we say to you about that document?"
10537Now, please, wo n''t you believe me and go away?
10537Perhaps you know who I am?"
10537She can tell me about her people, ca n''t she?"
10537So you are really going to marry my nephew?"
10537Stella, does it mean so much to you, after all, that you should keep that paper?
10537Supposing I could give you something for your paper which would produce the greatest sensation which New York has ever known?
10537Supposing I could help you out again?
10537Supposing I should feel that my gratitude still requires some expression, where could I write you?"
10537Tell me, do you see that young lady in a mauve- coloured dress and a large hat, sitting three tables to the left of us?"
10537Tell me, where do you keep that paper?"
10537That is n''t Janion''s voice, is it?"
10537There are no orders for the garage?"
10537Very well, what do you propose to do?"
10537Vine, who are these men?"
10537Vine?"
10537Vine?"
10537Virginia asked--"rather as though you had brought me to call?"
10537Virginia, do I look ill?"
10537Virginia?"
10537We became-- well, pretty good friends, did n''t we?"
10537Weiss?"
10537Weiss?"
10537Well, did you see the girl?"
10537What are you doing to- night, Stella?
10537What are you going to do about it?"
10537What chance would she have to warn Norris Vine?
10537What consideration have you ever shown, Phineas Duge, even to the innocent who have crossed your paths?
10537What could he have done?
10537What did you come here for, advice or sympathy?
10537What did you say that your name was?"
10537What does it matter to you?"
10537What is it?
10537What is it?"
10537What is there between you and my niece, Norris Vine?"
10537What would be the effect upon this country for the next forty- eight hours or so?"
10537What would happen if she sat still?
10537When one comes to think of it, it is trying the old lady pretty high, is n''t it?
10537Where are you going to stay?
10537Where have you been hiding yourself, and how dared you run away from me?"
10537Who are you?"
10537Who introduced you?
10537Who on earth is this young man?"
10537Who was it who spent a year in some little village near the Carpathians, and had almost to be dragged back to civilization?
10537Who''s got it?"
10537Why ca n''t you make sure of your facts?
10537Why did he send for me, then?
10537Why did you leave your boarding- house in Russell Street and run away from me?"
10537Why do n''t you bring it back and be reconciled to your father?
10537Why should you expect that I should show consideration to this simple child who came across the ocean to steal from me?"
10537Why the devil do n''t you go and call on her?
10537Why, therefore, should I be grateful?
10537Will you come into the morning- room with me at once?"
10537Will you come to Court?"
10537Will you dine with me?"
10537Will you keep my secret, please?"
10537Will you leave this room or not?"
10537Will you marry me?"
10537Will you marry me?"
10537Will you sit down in your chair, or shall we talk here?"
10537Wo n''t you come out with me and be married?"
10537Wo n''t you sit down with me here?
10537Would she be able to clear herself?
10537Would there be any advantage in it?
10537Would you call him an honest man?"
10537Would you like to come and be introduced to my uncle and guardian?"
10537Would you promise to realize at any loss, and give it up?
10537You are amongst those, are you not, who have set themselves to dam the torrents?"
10537You are sure, Littleson, that Dick Losting is in Europe?"
10537You can see that for yourself, dear, ca n''t you?"
10537You dare n''t come and see me, I suppose?"
10537You follow me, Miss Longworth?"
10537You have heard nothing of my niece?"
10537You heard what I said,"he asked, somewhat abruptly,"about those two things, obedience and truth?"
10537You look a little tired, or is it because everything here is strange to you?"
10537You understand that?"
10537You understand?"
10537You understand?"
10537You will permit me, I presume, to see you out of the restaurant?"
10537You will spare me a few minutes, will you not?"
10537You wo n''t be going out before then?"
10537You''re quite, quite sure that whatever your aunt may say you will never regret this?"
10537Your business with me is not so private that you object to his remaining?"
10537Your father told me that I was to ask you,"she said, turning to Stella,"if I found you both,""At eight o''clock, I suppose?"
10537but who is it in my rooms?
10537he asked,"or rather could n''t I buy it for you?"
10537he begged,"alone, anywhere?"
10537she asked,"or are things going the wrong way with you just now?"
11085After all, is it not for my own interest as much as yours? 11085 Am I to understand that the-- the lady who spoke to you was desirous of an interview with me here in chambers, or where?"
11085Am I_ sure_?
11085And I never told_ you_ I rode fourteen stone, did I?
11085And she is safe?
11085And what can_ you_ be doing here at this time of year?
11085And which of us next best, Nina?
11085And who are_ you_?
11085And who arst_ you_ to interfere, mem, if I may wenture to make the inquiry?
11085And wot the-- are you at with my missus under the trees?
11085And you accepted him?
11085And you observed the gentleman narrowly?
11085And-- and you''re not in love with Mr. Stanmore? 11085 Are you going?"
11085Are you so fond of it too?
11085Are you sure it was the same lady?
11085Are you sure of it?--did you see her face? 11085 Are you sure you have n''t forgiven her?"
11085Been for an appetite against luncheon- time, eh? 11085 Beg pardon, sir, can I speak to you for a minute?"
11085But are they_ real_ dancing men?
11085But why do you want to know?
11085But why?
11085Ca n''t we fight it, uncle?
11085Can I see him at once?
11085Can I speak with you, sir?
11085Dancing partner, swell mob, smuggler, respectable tradesman, what is he? 11085 Did it come in time?"
11085Did you get my letter?
11085Did you run up with it directly? 11085 Do you believe I mean what I say?
11085Do you call that work? 11085 Do you honestly wish it?"
11085Do you speak now for yourself or Lord Bearwarden?
11085Do you suppose as a woman can be mistook as has been put upon like me? 11085 Draft?"
11085For the shawl, miss? 11085 Friend of yours, sir?"
11085Had a lady answering their description been in his shop?
11085Had n''t you better go away again?
11085Had she seen her at all?
11085Has there been no mismanagement?
11085Have you seen her?
11085Have you settled it?
11085Horses all right?
11085How can you be sure of that?
11085How could I stay in that cursed room?
11085How do you know I do like it?
11085How is she?
11085How would you like it yourself?
11085I never said so,she answered in the same tone;"who is unkind now?"
11085I shall ask nobody else-- why should I? 11085 If you wo n''t tell me what the offence is, how can I offer either redress or apology?"
11085In the first place, how came you to be in London? 11085 Is Lord Bearwarden very good- tempered?"
11085Is it a long journey as you''re a- goin'', sir?
11085Is it all ready, Jim?
11085Is it come to this? 11085 Is there no way but this?"
11085Miss Bruce,he exclaimed--"Maud-- is it you?"
11085Mr. Algernon used to come here twice every quarter, usedn''t he? 11085 Mr. Perkins, I believe?"
11085Never saw him before? 11085 No way but this?
11085Not Miss Bruce, is n''t she? 11085 O dear, no!--certainly not-- Mr. Stanmore, I believe?
11085Papa,said she-- and the girl deserved credit for the courage with which she kept her tears back--"won''t you kiss her before you go?"
11085Pray, sir,said he,"are you a chemist?"
11085Saw it!--saw what?
11085She''s never been in her right senses, has she, since that dreadful night?
11085Sorry for that,replied Bearwarden, adding, courteously,"Can I offer you a lift?
11085Speak to me, Jim-- won''t you speak to me, dear? 11085 Tell me, no flattery now, why should I be so difficult to paint?"
11085Then she had n''t seen her this morning?
11085Then why on earth do you go?
11085Then, sir,continued the other,"do you know anything about chemistry-- volatile essences, noxious drugs, subtle poisons?
11085To be dependent,thought Maud, mentally addressing the beautiful face in the glass,"How should you like that?
11085We never had our waltz, Miss Bruce,said he;"and-- and-- there''s_ a reason_, is n''t there?"
11085We''ll have one more dance, Miss Bruce-- Maud-- before the night is over?
11085Well?
11085Well?
11085What are they going to do?
11085What are you two doing here in the dark? 11085 What can I do for you?"
11085What d''ye mean by_ she_? 11085 What do you expect to gain from injury inflicted on"( he could not get the name out)--"on the lady you mention?"
11085What do you know about my husband?
11085What do you mean?
11085What do you mean?
11085What do you mean?
11085What do you think of it?
11085What have_ you_ been doing, rather?
11085What is it you complain of, and of what nature is the dispute between Lord Bearwarden and my friend?
11085What is it? 11085 What sort of a lady?"
11085What sort of a person?
11085What would you have me do?
11085What''s the matter? 11085 What''s the use of jawing about it?
11085What''s up now, lass?
11085What, even stern Aunt Jemima?
11085When did she see her?
11085When is it for, Tom? 11085 When was he taken ill?
11085When? 11085 Where did you dine?"
11085Where''ll you get another as can touch him when the ground''s deep, like it was last March? 11085 Which_ is_ the other end of the town?"
11085Who am I?
11085Who is he, Dick, and where does he live?
11085Who is he? 11085 Who set you on to this?"
11085Who the devil are you?
11085Why are you here?
11085Why did n''t Lord Bearwarden come himself?
11085Why did n''t he read it?
11085Why should you do anything you hate?
11085Why, Doll,said he,"what''s up now?
11085Why, you''re not a soldier, are you? 11085 Why?"
11085Why?
11085Will a duck swim?
11085Will she ever know me thoroughly?
11085Will you come?
11085Would you like to know why I can not make this sacrifice to please you?
11085Would you like to see her?
11085You have n''t forgot the gag? 11085 You wo n''t do it?"
11085You''ll dine with us, Tom, on the 11th?
11085You''ll go; wo n''t you? 11085 _ His_ house?"
11085_ Will_ you dance with me?
11085A light tap-- a smothered"Who''s there?"
11085A very beautiful young lady, was it?
11085Agreed?
11085Am I right, Nina?"
11085And O, Simon, is n''t it good of your aunts, and you too, to have taken care of me ever since I was quite a little thing?
11085And are we not lucky in the weather?
11085And if it was, should he not be justified in going to any extremity for revenge?
11085And now who''s to pay your costs?"
11085And was it not calculated, then, to render her more unhappy, more inconsolable?
11085And were n''t you smothered in dust coming down?
11085And where have you been, and how''s my mother, and what have you been doing?"
11085And where should I be if she left me in the lurch?
11085And who shall tell how hard he wrestled with his great sorrow during those long hours of darkness,"even to the breaking of the day"?
11085And why should there not be a Lady Bearwarden of the present as of the past?
11085And yet I do n''t wish to have them back again-- do you?"
11085And yet how could she be so inhuman as to admit a pleasure which must be cruelly productive of another''s pain?
11085And yet what could Nina want at Lord Bearwarden''s house?
11085Anybody taking care of him?
11085Are they not henceforth to be in common?"
11085Been devilish seedy, have n''t you?
11085Besides, we are almost relations, are we not?
11085Bragford?
11085But he''s a good plucked''un, is n''t he, Jim?
11085But how can you say such things?
11085But how to get rid of Tom Ryfe?
11085But how to raise the funds?
11085But is n''t it pretty now?
11085But this man you mention, this Gentleman Jim as you call him, can you find him?
11085But what good will my looks do me if I am to be a dependent on Aunt Agatha?
11085By the bye, I sent you a card for Lady Goldthred''s this afternoon-- only a stupid breakfast-- did you forget it?"
11085Ca n''t the fools do anything for her?
11085Can you be ready to start tonight?
11085Can you do this?"
11085Can you favour me with the date?"
11085Can you walk to the gate?
11085Could it be so?
11085Could it be the water?
11085Could this be Gentleman Jim?
11085Could this be one of the angels, and had she got to heaven after all?
11085D''ye mind the first time as ever I see you?
11085D''ye mind what I said then?
11085D''ye mind?
11085D''ye think I want my blessed drink watered with your blessed nonsense?
11085Did she ever think his brush was dipped in colours ground on the poor artist''s heart?
11085Did she give you her name?"
11085Did she say anything?
11085Did ye ever see a Turk in a vineyard?
11085Did ye get a feel of it, Doll, or was it only a smell?"
11085Did you ever love any one on earth as well as your own way?
11085Do n''t I bring you eight- and- twenty dancing men?
11085Do n''t you think he can be punished?
11085Do n''t you think perhaps, after all, it''s more touching as it is?"
11085Do n''t you think so?"
11085Do n''t you think, dear, though you have n''t known him long, that_ you_ like_ him_ a little-- more than a little, already?"
11085Do we know him?
11085Do you believe I mean what I_ write_?"
11085Do you ever speak to Maud like that?"
11085Do you know them?
11085Do you know what you ask?
11085Do you know where he is?
11085Do you know who I am?
11085Do you remember?"
11085Do you think Rose and Brilliant''s would_ lend_ them to me only for one night?"
11085Do you understand?"
11085Does that purple sunset over Kensington Gardens remind him of Glaramara and Saddleback?
11085Ere long, she sometimes thought, she must ask herself who was this stranger that brought with him a flood of sunshine into the homely painting- room?
11085Even mamma?
11085For I''m no relation, you know-- and how can I ever do enough for you?
11085Had she ever considered the future shelter offered her by Aunt Agatha in that light?
11085Had she seen Miss Algernon during the morning?
11085Had she seen him?
11085Has she got them on now?"
11085Have I said enough?"
11085Have them cleaned up?
11085Have they told you anything more?"
11085Have you done your best?"
11085Have you heard nothing?
11085He clutched Dick''s shoulder, and his voice came dry and husky, while he gasped--"What is it, Stanmore?
11085He scarcely heard his companion, while she asked--"Who are those men bowing?
11085He''s a soldier, I hope?"
11085He''s clean thoroughbred, is n''t he?"
11085Here at the Manor, for as long as she could remember, had she not reigned supreme?
11085Hooked a big fish, and need only pull him ashore?
11085Hope you''ve done good business with him, my lady?
11085How can I prate of my cut finger in presence of your broken leg?
11085How could Dick tell?
11085How could he help it?
11085How could he?
11085How dare you dictate terms to_ me_?
11085How dare you presume to say I shall do this, I shall not do_ that?_ Leave my house this minute.
11085How many intimacies, how many attachments outlast a twelvemonth''s break?
11085How, indeed, could he have met her manfully and with dignity, while every nerve and fibre quivered at her presence?
11085How_ could_ he?
11085How_ could_ he?
11085I am perfectly willing to-- stay, Aunt Jemima, I beg your pardon, what do you think ought to be done?"
11085I am satisfied with you, Jim-- I think your name is Jim?"
11085I mean-- Can''t you see that she likes him awfully even now?
11085I said I''d a treat for you; now tell me without prevarication-- will you have sleeve- links with a cipher or a monogram?
11085I suppose, even now, you have some regard for your husband?"
11085I was a- sayin'', only last night, was it?
11085I wish there were no such things as dinners, do n''t you?"
11085I wonder will I ever see you again?"
11085If I give you five pounds now, on the spot, and let you go, will you promise to try and get your bread as an honest man?"
11085If so, however, what could they be doing in Berners Street?
11085If you''ve time, Stanmore, could you see Miss Algernon as far as the boat?
11085In the first place, you observe the light from that chink streaming down on my imp''s back; well, in the picture, you know--""Where_ is_ the picture?"
11085In the second, how did you ever get so far along Oxford Street?
11085In the third, being here, wo n''t you come up to the painting- room?
11085Is it possible?
11085Is it selfishness that bids them carry their sorrows for help to the very hearts they have crushed and trampled?
11085Is it?
11085Is n''t she badly dressed?"
11085Is that girl to remain here, dependent on the bounty of a struggling artist and two old maids?
11085Is that really like me?"
11085Is the stalls took?"
11085It is probable that, if the painter had thrown down his brush at this juncture, and asked simply,"Nina, will you be my wife?"
11085It was n''t Kensington Gardens, was it?
11085It''s a strong measure-- a very strong measure-- and you really mean to carry it through?"
11085Lady Bearwarden, are you quite sure?
11085Lady Bearwarden, how_ could_ you?
11085London already?
11085Master Tom, do you know as you''ve Been put upon, and by who?"
11085May I hope Mr. Stanmore will be equally prompt?
11085May I see the plunder?"
11085Mr. Stanmore, what shall I do?
11085Must I never see a woman again without that queenly beauty coming between me and my share of happiness?
11085Must this indeed be her punishment?
11085Must we_ force_ you, Mr. Stanmore, into the position we require, by overt measures, as disgraceful to you as they would be unbecoming in my friend?"
11085Never missed the day, did he?
11085Nor the shawl to throw round her head?
11085Now, then, who are_ you_?
11085O, will you--_will_ you not come to terms?"
11085Of all places in London why should she go there?
11085One waltz, Miss Bruce-- promise?"
11085Puckers, is that you?"
11085Ryfe?"
11085Say the word, miss-- which is it to be?"
11085Shall I confess, to the utter destruction of his character for undying constancy, that he did not wish to be?
11085Shall I find the ladies at home?"
11085Shall I say to- morrow afternoon, somewhere in the neighbourhood of Mouscron?
11085Shall I tell you his very words, Mr. Stanmore, addressed to me less than an hour ago?"
11085Shall I tell you what happened to myself?
11085Shall I trouble you for the name and address, or will you give me a description in full, that will do as well?"
11085Shameful, is n''t it?
11085She could n''t tell, and what did it matter?
11085She has deceived others; why not_ you_?
11085Stanmore, what do you think?"
11085Stanmore?"
11085Stanmore?"
11085Successful ambition, gratified vanity, what are these with none to share the triumph?
11085Susannah, how long is it since he''s been to see us?"
11085Tell me; do n''t you think me the worst, the most ungrateful, the most horrible girl in the world?"
11085Then, the conception, eh?
11085Thomas?"
11085Three doctors, does she say?
11085To- morrow morning?
11085Tom Ryfe was going to Belgrave Square; why should he direct his driver to set him down a quarter of a mile off?
11085Was Lord Bearwarden much disappointed, and did he swear horribly?"
11085Was he awake or dreaming?
11085Was he thinking what a picture it would make, or what a reality it was?
11085Was he to be sacrificed to this mere stranger?
11085Was it long ago?
11085Was it over?
11085Was it_ you_, sir?
11085Was not the sun still shining bright on that graceful feathery foliage?
11085Was she disappointed, or not, that he took so little advantage of it?
11085Was she pleased?
11085Well-- and me?
11085Well?"
11085What about Lady Bearwarden?"
11085What became of you?
11085What conclusion was a man likely to arrive at who had lived in the world of London from boyhood, and been already once so cruelly deceived?
11085What could Dick say or do?
11085What could be her object?
11085What could be the secret of such a man''s influence over such a girl?
11085What could it all mean?
11085What could it mean?
11085What could it mean?
11085What did it mean?
11085What do you think of a peerage, my boy?
11085What do you think of that imp''s tail?--Isn''t it a trifle too long?"
11085What does it all mean?"
11085What had I better do?"
11085What had come over him?
11085What had he found out?
11085What has become of him?
11085What have you been about, Maud, all the morning?
11085What have you got to say?
11085What if he had over- estimated his own admiration and the force of her attractions?
11085What is it I most covet and desire in the world?
11085What is it all about?"
11085What is it, I wonder; what is it, and how long will it last?"
11085What is it, my good girl?
11085What is the use of nurses and doctors, and all the humbug of medicine and science?
11085What o''clock is it now?
11085What right had you to destroy my whole future?
11085What shall you do with yourself?
11085What was I to do?
11085What was that shining far- off between the trees, cool, and quiet, and bright, like heaven?
11085What was the use of an inheritance now?
11085What was the use?
11085What was there that bade him man himself against this discouragement, as true bravery mans itself against the sensation of fear?
11085What were all the horses that ever galloped compared to one smile of hers?
11085What will he think of me when he knows it?
11085What would you have?
11085What''s come to ye, ye contrairy devil?
11085What_ must_ my servants think?
11085When is''em goin''up, sir?"
11085When you want anything, do you ever spare anybody to get it?
11085Where is he?
11085Where should I get such a model for my Fairy Queen, I should like to know?
11085Where''s your Aunt Jemima?"
11085Who could tell what disclosures might come out?
11085Who could tell what that very night might bring forth?
11085Who is she then, uncle?
11085Who knows but we may n''t have a third party come in on the same errand?
11085Who knows?
11085Who''s attending him?
11085Why ca n''t she send my maid up, if she wants me?"
11085Why did n''t he read it?
11085Why did they stop me?
11085Why is it?
11085Why should n''t I try my chance?
11085Why should she be afraid?
11085Why should you wish to make me utterly miserable-- to drive me out of my senses?
11085Why should your lordship abstain from walking there any afternoon between four and five?
11085Why this secrecy, this mystery, this reserve, that had been growing up between them day by day ever since their marriage?
11085Why?
11085Why?
11085Will that do?
11085Will you drive me out in your phaeton?"
11085Will you help me?
11085Will you kindly bring it down with you to Ecclesfield?
11085Will you take some refreshment, sir, after your journey?"
11085Will you take this money, or leave it?
11085Wo n''t ye think better of it, old man?
11085Would Jim feel it very much?
11085Would it not be wiser for us to ignore the Charlottes of life altogether, and stick to the bread- and- butter?
11085Would n''t_ you_?
11085Would she not love him_ now_, if, indeed, she had not loved him before?
11085Would she press those jewels to her lips, and murmur broken words of endearment for_ him_?
11085Would they have worked as hard to please you, and sat up night after night, as I have done, poring over papers to see you righted?
11085You could n''t give me no longer than to- day, could ye now?"
11085You did not fancy I could be so soft, did you?
11085You get out here, do you?
11085You know him, though, of course?"
11085You lost your grouse- shooting this year and the Derby, did n''t you?
11085You think you''ve won a heavy stake, do you?
11085You''ll look at the Vampire''oss, sir, before you go back to town?"
11085Your job''s as good as done, and some day you''ll see me again, miss, wo n''t you?
11085_ Did he remember_?
11085_ Was n''t_ there?
11085_ thought_ Lord Bearwarden;"does he hope to impose on_ me_ with his half- bred swagger and Brummagem assurance?"
11085_ you_ with your haughty head, and your scornful eyes, and your hard, unbending heart?
11085and do you think I am a likely man to forego such an advantage?
11085and he is n''t going to run away with you?
11085and the silvery tones of the voice he loved--"Aunt Agatha-- may Mr. Stanmore drive me to Rose and Brilliant''s in his phaeton?"
11085and was n''t it choked with dust, and is n''t it tired and thirsty?
11085and why am I to be sacrificed to such men as these?
11085and wo n''t it come in and have some tea?"
11085are you ill, my lord?"
11085ca n''t ye give a chap a job?
11085d''ye think I care?"
11085did it run all the way under the carriage with its tongue out?
11085exclaims Puckers;"whatever do you mean?"
11085he murmurs,"shall I never see you tying those flowers again?"
11085how endure the shame of betraying in his manner that he loved her very dearly still?
11085if you should chance on a stroke of luck this turn, wo n''t you give the trade up for good and all?
11085is it you at last?
11085no foul play?
11085said her nephew vacantly,"what do you mean, aunt?--Go?--where?--who?"
11085said she,"why did n''t ye say so?
11085she asked, almost angrily;"no papers lost?
11085she asked,"not''dummies,''''duffers,''--what do you call them?
11085that steeped for her, unconsciously and without effort, every day in happiness, every morning in hope?
11085what else could bring a doting couple, married only a few weeks, to that part of the town?
11085whatever shall I do?
11085why did they stop_ me_ to- day?
11085why overpay the man by a shilling?
11085why should n''t she?
11085why wear down the soles of an exceedingly thin and elaborate pair of boots on the hot, hard pavement without compunction?
11085you''re_ sure_ he said diamonds?
2349Can you fit us both into your dog- cart?
2349Did you lose your boat through it?
2349Did you not investigate?
2349Do all your successes depend upon this prodigious power of bluff?
2349Had they always a fire in this small room on a spring evening?
2349How do you know that?
2349How far is it to the house where this singular tragedy occurred?
2349I take it that you have no theory yourself which can in any way account for them?
2349Looking back at the evening which you spent together, does anything stand out in your memory as throwing any possible light upon the tragedy? 2349 Might I ask from whom?"
2349My defence against what?
2349My defence?
2349Perhaps you would not mind telling me if your suspicions point in any particular direction?
2349Shall I speak or you?
2349Should I appeal to the law? 2349 Well, sir?"
2349Were they nervous people? 2349 What do you mean?"
2349What were your plans?
2349Who let you out?
2349Why a fire?
2349Why half, Holmes?
2349You have nothing to add then, which could assist me?
2349You left them, then, without any premonition of evil?
2349Your people were in their usual spirits?
2349As to yourself, Mr. Tregennis, I take it you were divided in some way from your family, since they lived together and you had rooms apart?"
2349Did they ever show any apprehension of coming danger?"
2349Finally, if he did not throw the substance into the fire at the moment of leaving the room, who did do so?
2349Have you ever heard of this preparation?"
2349Holmes?"
2349I knew that the facts were true, but could I help to make a jury of countrymen believe so fantastic a story?
2349I take it, Watson, that you have no longer a shadow of a doubt as to how these tragedies were produced?"
2349Is that all clear?
2349Now, Dr. Sterndale, how do you justify such conduct, and what were the motives for your actions?
2349Now, when did this occur?
2349Oh, you will see it out, will you?
2349Roundhay?"
2349That is clear, is it not?"
2349There was his crime; what was to be his punishment?
2349Was your baggage aboard the ship?"
2349What DO you mean?"
2349What do you make of that, Watson?"
2349What human contrivance could do that?"
2349What was my baggage or Africa to me when I learned that such a fate had come upon my darling?
2349Where were my proofs?
2349Who knows?
2349Why?
2349You had forgotten?
2349You perceive our difficulties, Watson?"
2349You would not denounce the man?"
14096Ah, that is his name, is it?
14096All right?
14096Am I to depart now, Detective Carter?
14096Am I to infer, Miss Page, that you know nothing at all about this casket?
14096Am I to see the stones?
14096An acquaintance?
14096And killed the wrong girl?
14096And leave Cervera to guard him, eh?
14096And must go with you?
14096And one that could be made very profitable, perhaps?
14096And sometimes have the attentions of men fairly forced upon you, I imagine?
14096And the fact that she requested Venner to call at her house this morning?
14096And the men?
14096And the other?
14096And the statements which Boyden, in turn, made to the officer by whom he was arrested at your home?
14096And then proceed to locate the plant where the goods are made, eh?
14096And then proving them to be artificial?
14096And then?
14096And then?
14096And what do you expect to learn from the Hindoo?
14096And what is the second theory suggested?
14096And what of his associates?
14096And what then?
14096And who does me the honor, pray?
14096And why do you think, all of a sudden, Dave, that Nick Carter is so hot on our heels?
14096And you helpless?
14096And your address?
14096Are n''t you going to speak?
14096Are they fit for an empress?
14096Are they of uniform value?
14096Are we not alone here, you fool?
14096Are you Mr. Carter-- Detective Carter?
14096Are you a person of much means, Miss Page?
14096Are you all right, old man?
14096Are you quite sure that only Mr. Hafferman heard you make that statement?
14096Are you sure of that?
14096Are you sure of that?
14096Are you wounded, stranger?
14096Artificial diamonds, were they?
14096At work on a different kind of a game?
14096Ay, what do you mean?
14096Behind prison bars, eh?
14096But how can he locate us?
14096But how can we land them, Dave, and when?
14096But how can we lure them to Venner''s house?
14096But suppose I want to brush my teeth?
14096But the means?
14096But was it necessary-- was it really necessary, Rufus?
14096But what are you going to do? 14096 But what do you intend doing about this case?"
14096But what has that to do with the diamonds?
14096But what of the casket?
14096But what''s your scheme for to- night?
14096But who are you, sir?
14096But why in thunder are you so determined to make this change?
14096But why this sudden fear of the Carters?
14096But why?
14096But will you advise me of any steps that you may take?
14096By getting him to sell us some diamonds?
14096By mail, or a messenger?
14096By the way, Fogarty, how long ago did you discover the body?
14096By the way, have you the note she sent to you this morning?
14096By the way, what has become of those two stalwart guardians of your treasures? 14096 Can he have discovered that we recognize him?"
14096Can it be possible?
14096Can she do it?
14096Can the girl have been robbed of its contents, here and in broad daylight?
14096Can you get at him in a way to trap him?
14096Can you guess how?
14096Cervera?
14096Choke''em off, eh?
14096Did Boyden know where Mary went after he left her?
14096Did Mary Barton have any idea of the identity of the woman from whom she received the package?
14096Did he make any inquiries about it?
14096Did it hurt you?
14096Did she describe the strange woman, her form or her attire?
14096Did she tell him where she got it?
14096Did they appear to be on good terms?
14096Did you admit her?
14096Did you come directly here?
14096Did you ever know me to study for five hours over anything of this kind without arriving at some conclusion?
14096Did you get the signatures of Hafferman and his clerks?
14096Did you make any deal at that time regarding the diamonds?
14096Did you see Boyden?
14096Did you see anybody leaving here just before you arrived and discovered the body?
14096Do I?
14096Do any of you know of an order sent out by Mr. Venner this morning?
14096Do it? 14096 Do n''t understand?"
14096Do you already recognize these criminals?
14096Do you doubt it?
14096Do you doubt that I can slay you?
14096Do you feel quite sure of it?
14096Do you forget that Kilgore and all his gang are there? 14096 Do you know any process for manufacturing diamonds?"
14096Do you know anything about her companion, the gentleman you saw with her?
14096Do you know the clerk''s name?
14096Do you know the girl''s name, or where she lives?
14096Do you know them?
14096Do you know where he has been living?
14096Do you mean that some of them still have their fangs and poison bags?
14096Do you mean that-- that it is done? 14096 Do you mock me again?"
14096Do you really think so, Dave?
14096Do you see the game this Kilgore gang is playing?
14096Do you think it is going to rain, driver?
14096Do you think so?
14096Do you think that difficulty has now been overcome?
14096Do you think you can do it?
14096Do you think, Chick, that we could make up to pass for those two swarthy Orientals?
14096Does n''t Pandu Singe speak English?
14096Does she live alone?
14096Does the great Pandu Singe wish to purchase diamonds?
14096Done?
14096Even them up, eh?
14096Ever seen any like''em after a jamboree?
14096Evidently there is something amiss between them, but what the dickens is it?
14096For safer keeping?
14096For what reason, villain?
14096For what they are?
14096For what? 14096 For what?
14096From Hafferman? 14096 Going after Cervera now?"
14096Going there first, Nick?
14096Going to have a look?
14096Gone?
14096Got all the traps with you?
14096Had you seen the girl about here before during the afternoon?
14096Has any man of the late vaudeville company, or one connected with the theater, endeavored to force his love upon you?
14096Has he come to?
14096Has he discovered Pylotte?
14096Have you any idea how such counterfeits can be made?
14096Have you any idea of the machinery and ingredients he might require?
14096Have you been accepting the attentions of any other young man?
14096Have you been at the theater?
14096Have you ever heard your maid, Mary Barton, speak of possessing such a jewel box?
14096Have you lost your tongue, Detective Carter? 14096 Have you seen Boyden since his arrest?"
14096Have you them with you?
14096Heat and pressure?
14096Her purse?
14096How can I reach you?
14096How dare you come here with such a story as that?
14096How dare you utter my name with your foul mouth?
14096How different?
14096How do I know?
14096How do you arrive at that deduction, Nick?
14096How in thunder did it happen, Nick?
14096How long ago was the messenger at your store?
14096How long have you been acquainted with Boyden?
14096How many?
14096How may that be done?
14096How so, Dave?
14096How so?
14096I do?
14096I understand, Mr. Venner, that you called yesterday at the store of Thomas Hafferman and made some inquiries about these stones?
14096If he does--"_ Caramba!_ do you stop to question?
14096If our victims appeal to Nick Carter for help-- are we not also already in his good graces? 14096 If you think I''m a thief, why do n''t you hand me over to the police?"
14096In fact, Miss Page, you have now told me all that you know about the case, have n''t you?
14096In this world, or in the next?
14096In what part of Hafferman''s store were you at the time?
14096In what way?
14096Is he more daring than Spotty Dalton, or more determined than anyone of the Kilgore gang? 14096 Is he still in the city?"
14096Is that so? 14096 Is that so?"
14096Is that young man an acquaintance of yours, Maynard?
14096Is the fact that you are engaged to Boyden generally known, Miss Page?
14096Is there any person who knows of the engagement, or who suspects it, that would jealously aim to injure Boyden by implicating him in a crime?
14096Is there anything that I can do for you? 14096 Is what done?
14096It must be done?
14096It opens the way, in fact, to the most colossal swindle on record?
14096It rather looks as if Cervera had been here, does n''t it?
14096John David, eh?
14096Kill him?
14096Locate us?
14096Make of it?
14096Me?
14096Mine also, Detective Carter?
14096Mr. Venner, sir?
14096Must I tell you his name, sir?
14096My eyes deceived me? 14096 Namely?"
14096No name on it?
14096None now? 14096 None such, eh?"
14096Not a light in the house, is there?
14096Not believe you?
14096Not discharged all of your servants?
14096Not here, sir, do I understand?
14096Not kill you? 14096 Not the celebrated detective?"
14096Not to the diamond plant?
14096Now, Chick, what of the man who visited Hafferman''s store with the forged order?
14096Now, then, for what special purpose did you want those particular diamonds? 14096 Of Hafferman?"
14096Of large size and the first water?
14096Of what?
14096Of whom now?
14096Oh, Detective Carter, how am I to thank you?
14096Oh, sir, what do you mean?
14096Oh, sir, will you not give me some word of encouragement before I go? 14096 Oh, that''s it, eh?"
14096On your feet, eh? 14096 One more question, Miss Page,"cried Nick, quickly,"Was there any member of the vaudeville company who knew of Venner''s proposal?"
14096One year ago we three were in Amsterdam, Holland, were n''t we?
14096Or any visitor admitted to the stage?
14096Or that I will?
14096Pandu Singe?
14096Put them down and out?
14096Quite an art, is n''t it?
14096Raymond?
14096Señora Cervera dishonest? 14096 So much of my time?"
14096So this is your game, is it?
14096So you are confident that these stones are works of art, rather than of nature, are you?
14096So you are showing your true colors, are you?
14096So you''ve decided to do the job, have you?
14096Some outside party, eh?
14096Somebody coming?
14096Surely you do not mean this, sir? 14096 Surprised?
14096That I am under arrest?
14096That so?
14096That''s your game, is it?
14096The Kilgore diamond gang?
14096The cost of production being too great?
14096The diamonds?
14096The girl is dead, sir, is n''t she?
14096The girl mentioned?
14096Then he intends remaining here all summer, does he?
14096Then it isn''t-- it is n''t?
14096Then you are a judge of diamonds?
14096Then you bought a diamond of the man who said his name was John David, did you?
14096Then you love me like that, eh?
14096Then you think the man of whom you got them has discovered a way to make such perfect artificial diamonds at a low price?
14096These are the facts which Mary Barton told to Harry Boyden, are they?
14096This was during your call upon her this morning?
14096To begin with,asked Nick, with a steadfast scrutiny of Venner''s darkly attractive face,"what is the value of the stolen diamonds?"
14096To the Kilgore gang?
14096To the Tombs?
14096To what mystery do you refer? 14096 To you alone?"
14096To- night?
14096Venner& Co.?
14096Venomous?
14096Want any help, Chick?
14096Was I?
14096Was he out on business?
14096Was it our man Spaulding who delivered the order? 14096 Was it you who fired the gun?"
14096Was the name of the friend mentioned?
14096Well, Chick, what say you to that?
14096Well, Nick, old man, what have you made of it?
14096Well, sir, what do you think of them?
14096Well, what do you make of it?
14096Well?
14096Well?
14096Were any of the clerks present?
14096Were any of your clerks absent from the store, Mr. Venner, at the time of this robbery?
14096Were n''t you looking at some stones there yesterday?
14096Were you the first to see it?
14096What about him?
14096What are your plans?
14096What are your relations with Boyden?
14096What can I do for you? 14096 What diamonds are you thinking of buying of Hafferman?"
14096What did the Barton girl say about the parcel?
14096What do you know of them, Detective Carter?
14096What do you make of it, Detective Carter?
14096What do you make of it, Nick?
14096What do you make of it, Nick?
14096What do you mean by that?
14096What do you mean, Carter?
14096What do you mean, Dave?
14096What do you mean, sir?
14096What do you mean?
14096What do you mean?
14096What do you say?
14096What first led you to suspect the crime and the means, Nick?
14096What have you dug out of that mess of papers, Nick? 14096 What is that man''s name?"
14096What is there odd in that?
14096What is your name, my man?
14096What is your name, young man?
14096What is your name?
14096What mention did he make of a package carried by the girl?
14096What move next, I wonder?
14096What sent you into the house so suddenly?
14096What should I say? 14096 What sort of a man?"
14096What was that?
14096What way?
14096What were you doing out back of my house?
14096What will be the result, Philip?--what will be the result?
14096What''s amiss here, Fogarty?
14096What''s that black object you dropped just now?
14096What''s that for?
14096What''s that for?
14096What''s that?
14096What''s the meaning of this, Rufe?
14096What''s the plan, Dave?
14096What''s the trouble yonder, Nick?
14096What''s the use?
14096What''s this?
14096What''s your idea, Nick?
14096When and where?
14096Where do you live, Miss Page?
14096Where first?
14096Where is she quartered?
14096Where is your master? 14096 Where now?"
14096Where''s the butler to- night?
14096Where?
14096Where?
14096Whistle?
14096Who are you, and where do you live?
14096Who lives here with Venner?
14096Why are you so confident, Miss Page, that Boyden can not have killed Mary Barton?
14096Why demur over it, then?
14096Why do n''t you do so, then?
14096Why do n''t you give me to the police, if you think I''m a thief?
14096Why do n''t you shrink? 14096 Why do they have such dangerous things around?"
14096Why do you wish to know where he lives?
14096Why does n''t his nibs go in with you now?
14096Why is that?
14096Why so, Detective Carter?
14096Why so, Nick?
14096Why so?
14096Why so?
14096Why, then, were you so overcome upon seeing it?
14096Why?
14096Will Pylotte undertake this sort of a job, think you?
14096Will he?
14096With a gun, eh?
14096With jealousy the chief motive, eh?
14096With me? 14096 Wo n''t I?"
14096Yes?
14096Yet you do not fear? 14096 You can get in upon the stage to- night?"
14096You complied with her request, Mr. Venner, and went to call upon her?
14096You do n''t?
14096You feel quite confident that they were manufactured, do you?
14096You had previously sent no order to Hafferman for the stones?
14096You have?
14096You heard what he said?
14096You never saw it before?
14096You purchased them at a price compelling that belief?
14096You refer to that Spanish dancer, Cervera?
14096You say that you saw the girl walking this way with a gentleman?
14096You think I did it?
14096You wanted to discover his house, and learn how he made such perfect imitations, eh? 14096 You will deliver them, you say?"
14096You will not betray me?
14096You''ve got the others?
14096Your poor head, eh?
14096_ Caramba!_ do you doubt it?
14096Am I not here for that?"
14096An order from Venner?"
14096And what would become of you?"
14096Are they all here?"
14096Are they not for the empress?"
14096Are you ready?"
14096Brace up, d''ye hear?"
14096But how did you learn that I had called there?"
14096But what do you think led Mary Barton to open the package after having been told not to do so?"
14096But who occupies that house over yonder, where the roof shows above the trees?"
14096By whom?"
14096Can you remember all that?"
14096Can you whistle?"
14096Carter?"
14096D''ye see that little copper- colored cuss down there in the corner, not more''n a foot long?
14096Dead!--do you hear?"
14096Did you know that the sight of blood affects me as it does a leopard?
14096Do you forget that we are just about launching our gigantic enterprise?
14096Do you hear, Nick Carter?
14096Do you know him by sight?"
14096Do you know where he has gone, Joseph?"
14096Do you see, it?"
14096Do you still retain them in your employ?"
14096Do you understand?"
14096Do you want it, sir?"
14096Even then, by what means had the deed been accomplished?
14096For Tiffany& Co., eh?"
14096For what do you want me, Detective Carter?"
14096For what?"
14096For what?"
14096Had she, indeed, been foully murdered?
14096Had the casket contained jewels of great value?
14096Had the girl been robbed of them, and then foully murdered in some mysterious way?
14096Have we not insured his confidence in us by this little move of to- day?
14096Have you arrived at any conclusions?"
14096Have you seen anything of Venner while waiting in the cab?"
14096If he has swindled you, why did n''t you have him arrested at the theater?"
14096If not, what sort of a game have they been playing here to- night?"
14096If so, by what mysterious means?
14096Is Pandu Singe looking for some diamonds?"
14096Is he more crafty than Dave Kilgore?"
14096Is it a joke?"
14096Is she not a member of the Mammoth Vaudeville Troupe, which has been playing here to packed houses for several months?"
14096Is she young or old?"
14096Joseph, has Spaulding been here within a few minutes?"
14096Nick quickly noted these several features, then glanced at Chick and asked:"Do you find anything?"
14096None now-- now?"
14096Now tell me in whispers-- where is Nick Carter?"
14096Now, Detective Carter, your questions?"
14096Of course, Mr. Venner, you have no doubt of this Spanish dancer''s honesty?"
14096Or have I done wrong in any way?"
14096Or will you wait until Mr. Venner comes in?"
14096Or, finally, was there some strange and startling connection between this park murder and the robbery committed at Venner''s store?
14096Or, on the other hand, had Boyden left the girl alive and well, and was the crime the work of another?
14096Pull yourself together, do you hear?"
14096Pylotte?"
14096So this is your game, is it?
14096Surely you do but jest?"
14096That you may square yourself in some way, or make your escape, and then come back here to attempt the job again?"
14096To whom can I appeal?
14096Understand?"
14096Venner is in his private office, Joseph, is he not?"
14096Venner?"
14096Venner?"
14096Venner?"
14096Venner?"
14096Violet looked surprised and alarmed at this, and hastened to ask:"Oh, Mr. Carter, is there something of which I am ignorant?
14096Was Harry Boyden, the clerk employed by Hafferman, the last to leave the girl that fateful afternoon?
14096Was he responsible for her death?
14096Was it necessary, really necessary, Rufus?"
14096Was robbery the incentive to the crime?
14096Was that your motive, instead of having him arrested at the theater?"
14096Was there, between the two crimes, some extraordinary bond yet to be discovered-- some tie uniting the two misdeeds as if with links of steel?
14096What do you mean?"
14096What do you mean?"
14096What else?"
14096What had been the object?
14096What had been the occasion?
14096What has it to do with my going there?"
14096What is the occasion of your terrible distress?"
14096What matters, however, since where ignorance is bliss it is folly to be wise?
14096What now?"
14096What signified the pin- punctured wrapping paper, and the empty jewel casket, in the dead girl''s possession?
14096What the devil are you driving at?"
14096What would be the excitement, or the credit of snake charming, if the wriggling beasts were made harmless by pulling out their fangs?"
14096What''s the verdict, old man?"
14096What''s this?
14096What, moreover, had become of her companion at just that time?
14096When are you going?"
14096Where am I?"
14096Who the perpetrator of the crime?
14096Who was this girl found dead in Central Park?
14096Why do n''t you plead for mercy?"
14096Why had he deserted her?
14096Why have you got me here, and tied up in this fashion?"
14096Why, surely we could,"repeated Chick"Why did you ask?"
14096Yet she cried, still pleasantly:"What do you mean by that, Detective Carter?
14096You do n''t want any help to- night against this push, do you?"
14096You know what it is to whistle, do n''t you?"
14096_ Caramba!_ do you think I fear him?
14096is that so?"
14096is that so?"
14096is that so?"
14096that it is done?"
14096what do you mean?"
14096what shall I do?
2347A box by chance?
2347Any silver?
2347But why should he think that this disease which he has contracted is Eastern?
2347But why would you not let me near you, since there was in truth no infection?
2347But why?
2347But your appearance, Holmes-- your ghastly face?
2347By post?
2347Ca n''t you hear me, Holmes?
2347Can you ask, my dear Watson? 2347 For MY sake?"
2347Forget what?
2347Have you any change in your pocket?
2347Have you come from Holmes?
2347How is Mr. Holmes, sir?
2347How many half- crowns?
2347Is he delirious?
2347Is there any other little service that I can do you, my friend?
2347Oh, that''s it-- is it?
2347Oh, you did, did you? 2347 Painful, is it?
2347Shall I demonstrate your own ignorance? 2347 Stand still, will you?"
2347Then you have none in me?
2347Turn up the gas? 2347 Well, did you see him, Watson?"
2347What about Holmes? 2347 What is that?"
2347What is the meaning of this intrusion? 2347 What''s the meaning of this?"
2347What''s this?
2347Who is this person? 2347 Why should Mr. Homes think that I could help him in his trouble?"
2347Why?
2347You are not angry?
2347You are proud of your brains, Holmes, are you not? 2347 Ah, the shadows begin to fall, do they? 2347 And do n''t budge, whatever happens-- whatever happens, do you hear? 2347 Are you content to wait?
2347But what do you think of yourself spreading reports about me like that, and then crawling to me for help the moment you are in trouble?
2347Can you remember any unusual incident in your life just about the time your symptoms began?"
2347Can you think of no other way you could have got this thing?"
2347Can you understand what I say?"
2347Could I fancy that your astute judgment would pass a dying man who, however weak, had no rise of pulse or temperature?
2347Dear me, Staples, how often have I said that I am not to be disturbed in my hours of study?"
2347Did anything come by post?"
2347Did he ask what ailed me?"
2347Did n''t I send you word that I would see you to- morrow morning?"
2347Do I hear the step of a friend?"
2347Do you imagine it would prevent me from doing my duty to so old a friend?"
2347Do you imagine that I have no respect for your medical talents?
2347Do you know what is the matter with you?"
2347Do you remember a box-- an ivory box?
2347Do you suppose that such a consideration weighs with me of an instant?
2347Have you the cab below?
2347How is he?"
2347How long has he been ill?"
2347I am somewhat exhausted; I wonder how a battery feels when it pours electricity into a non- conductor?
2347If I failed to do so, who would bring my Smith within my grasp?
2347Is that not enough?"
2347Poor devil, how could I be angry when I saw him lying in such a plight before me?
2347Shall the world, then, be overrun by oysters?
2347Smith?"
2347Think yourself smart, do n''t you?
2347What do you know of the black Formosa corruption?"
2347What do you know, pray, of Tapanuli fever?
2347What does he want?
2347What sort of a game is that-- eh?"
2347What was I saying, Watson?"
2347Who asked you to cross my path?
2347Why did you not call in a doctor?"
2347You opened it-- do you remember?"
2347You recognize the symptoms?"
2347You wo n''t be offended, Watson?
12187All at once?
12187And I believe you read the document through before you witnessed the signature?
12187And I suppose,I said gloomily,"I shall be out of the hunt altogether?"
12187And all those questions that you asked Stephen Blackmore; had you nothing in your mind-- no definite purpose?
12187And bring Miss Gibson with her?
12187And do I understand that you propose to go and explore the neighbourhood?
12187And how long,I asked,"am I to be held on parole?"
12187And how,Thorndyke asked as we sat at lunch,"has my learned friend progressed?
12187And in the meantime?
12187And may I take it that the problem is solved?
12187And now what are we to give you for your trouble in coming here?
12187And the lady; what was she like?
12187And these witnesses have been examined?
12187And what are we to infer from that?
12187And what can I do for you gentlemen?
12187And what do you think happened next?
12187And what is he doing now?
12187And what is the alternative?
12187And when you have ascertained where Mr. Weiss lives? 12187 And whence do you spring from in this unexpected fashion?"
12187And who gave him that poisonous dose?
12187And you apparently think that he is a criminal?
12187And your occupation?
12187Any more letters?
12187Are they pretty quiet?
12187Are you going to magnify these cheques?
12187Are you though?
12187But I thought he was in Hamburg?
12187But do n''t you think they would get a conviction in this case?
12187But how do you know? 12187 But how the deuce can it be?"
12187But is that safe?
12187But what is the nature of his illness? 12187 But you were saying that it is just a matter of--?"
12187But, if the person who inhabited these chambers was not Jeffrey, who was he? 12187 But, if you can make nothing of it, why did you undertake it?"
12187But,I asked,"does he never rouse completely?"
12187But,I exclaimed,"do n''t you think that it is a very suspicious affair?"
12187But,I exclaimed,"do you mean that you are going to examine those rooms without any definite object at all?"
12187But,I objected,"if the man, Graves, was really imprisoned, could not he have smashed the window and called for help?"
12187By the way, Thorndyke,I said, taking up the latter to examine them afresh,"what are these things?
12187By the way, how comes it that the cheques are at the bank? 12187 By the way, why do you want to look over Jeffrey''s chambers?
12187Ca n''t you send the coachman?
12187Can you prove substitution?
12187Can you tell me who occupies the chambers on the third floor?
12187DEAR SIR,it ran,"Would you kindly come and see a friend of mine who is staying with me?
12187Did he seem to you''made up''in any way; disguised, I mean?
12187Did they read it aloud?
12187Did you get any information from those Darmstadt people?
12187Did you have occasion to use it?
12187Did you know that there is some one below waiting to see you?
12187Did you know your aunt well?
12187Did you read it aloud?
12187Did you? 12187 Do n''t you really?"
12187Do n''t you think he might lie down for a little while?
12187Do none of these objects that I have described and shown you, seem to have any significance for us?
12187Do you happen to know the name of Johann Schnitzler?
12187Do you happen to know,Thorndyke asked,"what sort of relations existed between Jeffrey and his brother John?"
12187Do you happen to remember a very foggy day about a month ago?
12187Do you know who the woman was?
12187Do you mean that you still invent imaginary cases as mental exercises?
12187Do you mean those things that we picked out from the rubbish under the grate?
12187Do you mean to say that you have discovered a flaw in the will, after all?
12187Do you mean to tell me,I exclaimed,"that that photograph is really upside down?"
12187Do you suppose that we wish to make ourselves the laughing- stock of the courts? 12187 Do you think I ought to have taken any further measures?"
12187Do you think he might have made a third will?
12187Do you want me to swear a affidavy that it''s all true?
12187Does n''t it?
12187Does n''t that method sometimes involve a good deal of wasted time and energy?
12187Have you given information to the police?
12187He did n''t strike you as resembling Weiss in any way; in voice or features?
12187He has been ill some time, then?
12187He has not been seen by any doctor, has he?
12187He is very ill? 12187 How came he to be a civil- service pensioner at fifty- five?"
12187How can you do that if you do n''t know the exact scale of the chart?
12187How do you find him now?
12187How has he acted like a fool?
12187How long will the journey take?
12187How should I know what I am going to prove? 12187 How should you like to take a turn round to New Inn this evening?"
12187How so?
12187How was the lady dressed?
12187How?
12187I am afraid,he said,"that you do not find my friend so well to- night?"
12187I can see, by the position of the screw- holes, that they were long; but how do you arrive at their thickness?
12187I did n''t hear any sound of the opening or closing of the door; did you?
12187I suppose you consider him quite out of danger now?
12187I take it,said Marchmont,"that you have some new facts that are not in our possession?"
12187I think we have seen all now, Jervis,he said,"unless there is anything more that you would like to look into?"
12187I think,said he,"you started from Lower Kennington Lane?"
12187I want to hear how you propose to lay hands on the villain who murdered poor old uncle Jeffrey-- for I suppose he did murder him?
12187Is any effective make- up possible out of doors in ordinary daylight?
12187Is he often as drowsy as he is now?
12187Is it anyone you know?
12187Is it not rather strange,said Marchmont,"that Jeffrey should have allowed himself to be dressed up in this remarkable manner?"
12187Is it possible that this can be sleeping sickness?
12187Is n''t morphine a very unusual poison?
12187Is that all you know about Weiss?
12187Is that the doctor?
12187Is there any other evidence that bears on the case?
12187Is there anything known that accounts for the change in his habits?
12187Is this a practical joke?
12187Is this of any interest to you?
12187Is your suspicion founded on some new matter that you have discovered, or is it deducible from facts that are known to me?
12187It was not delivered at his chambers, then?
12187Murder?
12187My conclusion, I suppose,said Thorndyke,"was a little unexpected?"
12187Now tell me: as you looked through those rooms, what kind of impression did they convey to you as to your uncle''s habits and mode of life?
12187Now, what do we learn from these very peculiar glasses? 12187 Oh, John knew that, did he?"
12187Oh, come, Jervis,he protested;"is that a fair question, under our present arrangement?
12187Schnitzler? 12187 Shall I walk down with you?"
12187Should I? 12187 So that Mrs. Wilson died on the twelfth of March?"
12187So that it is possible,said Thorndyke,"that she, herself, may have acquired this money recently by some bequest?"
12187So you think I had better do nothing in the matter?
12187Something in my line of business?
12187Supposing Mrs. Hornby should propose to call and take tea with us in the gardens?
12187That is so,Marchmont replied; and Thorndyke then asked:"Did she die suddenly?"
12187The doctor says''does your head ache?''
12187The question is, should we make a few inquiries of the agent, or should we get the keys and have a look at the inside of the house? 12187 The question is, will you take the job on?"
12187There is no question turning on signatures in the case of Blackmore deceased, is there?
12187There is no suspicious looking person in sight at present,Thorndyke said, and then asked:"Which way do you think of going?"
12187They were dead, I suppose?
12187Very,I agreed;"and the question that is agitating me is, what is to be done?"
12187Was Mr. Jeffrey''s eyesight failing?
12187Was the last tenant sold up, then?
12187Was this quite in accordance with his ordinary habits?
12187We shall expect you then,I said,"about eight to- night, and you will try to bring Mr. Stephen with you?"
12187Well, Jervis; what do you think of it?
12187Well,he said,"what do you make of him?"
12187Well,said Thorndyke;"what is it?"
12187Well?
12187What about the servants?
12187What are you laughing at?
12187What cases?
12187What did you learn from him?
12187What do you make of this?
12187What do you say to the glass of a miniature or locket?
12187What do you think is happening at that house?
12187What do you think it is?
12187What do you think?
12187What do you want to know?
12187What else can one think? 12187 What evidence is there of that?"
12187What further conclusion does it lead to?
12187What have you found?
12187What is his profession?
12187What is that?
12187What is that?
12187What is that?
12187What is the object of photographing these cheques?
12187What made you think he had been drinking?
12187What occasion?
12187What shall I tell you?
12187What sort of garment do you suppose they came from?
12187What used he to do with Chinese ink?
12187What was the import of these two facts? 12187 What was the value of the estate?"
12187What were those circumstances?
12187When is this voyage of exploration to take place?
12187Where did you find it? 12187 Who could this woman have been, and what could she have been doing in Jeffrey''s chambers at this time?
12187Why are there two scales?
12187Why have you locked us in?
12187Why not? 12187 Why the''Cheshire Cheese''?"
12187Why? 12187 Why?"
12187Why?
12187Why?
12187Will this do, sir?
12187Will you tell us what happened to you between six and seven in the evening of that day?
12187Yes, I see that,said Stephen, and then after a pause he asked:"Did you identify Mrs. Schallibaum?
12187You can read a compass pretty quickly, I think?
12187You could n''t see the colour of his eyes, for instance?
12187You don''t-- er-- anticipate anything of a-- er-- anything serious, I hope?
12187You have inspected them, then?
12187You have not forgotten those beads that we found in Jeffrey''s bedroom, have you?
12187You mean in respect of a death certificate?
12187You mean the fact that these signatures are undoubtedly genuine?
12187You mean,I said,"that the occasional reversions to the earlier form convey some material suggestion?"
12187You never suspected that he and Weiss were one and the same person?
12187You think that it may really be sleeping sickness?
12187You think there really was a crime, then?
12187You understand,I said in a low voice,"that the danger is not over?
12187You would like to have the new facts by themselves?
12187You would say that the two brothers were physically quite unlike, then?
12187Your case against him is on the charge of murder, I presume?
12187Your friend, I suppose, is not in just now?
12187Your name, I think, is Wilkins?
12187Your uncle could read the cuneiform character, then?
12187Am I to be led to the house blindfolded, like the visitor to the bandit''s cave?"
12187And again, what was the bearing of his partial blindness on the will?
12187And all these speculations failed to throw the faintest light on the main question:"Who was this woman?"
12187And as to his condition; is he seriously ill?"
12187And that brings me back to the question, What am I to do?
12187And the first one is, Are you a teetotaller?"
12187And, above all, how came she to be provided with a lump of what I had little doubt was poisoned sugar?
12187And, as to the woman herself: what was the meaning of that curious disappearing squint?
12187And, if he was not, was there really nothing which could have been done to save him?
12187And, talking of flavour, do you suppose that there is really any difference between that of a lark and that of a sparrow?"
12187Anne Street, W.C.""Well?"
12187Anything of interest going?"
12187Are there any documents?"
12187Are these the keys?"
12187Are those finger- marks forgeries, too?
12187As the door opened, a thick and husky voice inquired:"Gent of the name of Polton live here?"
12187Besides, are you not engaged to be married and to a most charming girl?"
12187Blackmore?"
12187Blackmore?"
12187But could you swear to the identity in a court of law?"
12187But do you know whether Mr. Jeffrey was aware of his sister''s intentions?"
12187But do you think the method is accurate enough to fix the position of a house?
12187But for what purpose could a person wear''watch- glass''spectacles?
12187But had any such circumstances existed in this case?
12187But have you come to any decision as to the nature of his illness?"
12187But how could I?
12187But how did she come to be there at all?
12187But how did that woman manage to stick to me in that way?
12187But how do they bear on the case?
12187But how do you propose to manage the business?
12187But how have you fared?"
12187But how shall I lay the case before you?
12187But how?
12187But important in what respect?
12187But it clung to my memory; it haunted me; and ever as it returned it bore with it the disquieting questions: Was Mr. Graves still alive?
12187But now, tell me; looking round these rooms, do they convey to you a similar impression to that which the old rooms did?
12187But perhaps you know that they were the same?"
12187But perhaps you would like to look through them yourself?
12187But still they suggested the desirability of considering the question: Was the person who signed the will really Jeffrey Blackmore?
12187But still--"I suppose,"said Mr. Weiss,"you have experience of sleeping sickness?"
12187But supposing that they were the same; would the fact be of any importance?"
12187But tell me, would this treatment produce a similar improvement if the symptoms were due to disease?"
12187But to resume: what do we do next?"
12187But what complicity is possible in the case of suicide?
12187But what could that something be?
12187But what did it protect?
12187But what do you suggest?
12187But what is your own opinion of the case?"
12187But what then?
12187But what then?
12187But why buy a practice?
12187But why do you ask?
12187But why does this gennlem''n--?"
12187But why had she done it?
12187But, perhaps, you can tell us, Dr. Thorndyke, who this woman was?"
12187But-- have you got your notes of the compass- bearings?"
12187By the way, were you aware that your uncle was an opium- smoker?"
12187By the way, what did the change in the handwriting amount to?"
12187By the way, what did you think of the coachman?"
12187By the way, you are not anxious to be off, I suppose?"
12187Can you make anything of them?"
12187Can you suggest any way in which he can have concealed a store of the drug?"
12187Could any of our friends be draughtsmen?
12187Could it be that Mr. Weiss was afraid that the half- conscious man might say something compromising to him in my presence?
12187Could this be a pocket- knife of any sort, such as a small stencil- knife?
12187Could you see the colour of his eyes?
12187Could you tell me a little more about him?"
12187Did he use any German idioms?"
12187Did you mean to suggest any connection?"
12187Did you think I was proposing to keep you under lock and key indefinitely?"
12187Do I understand that John Blackmore was the only person who knew that Jeffrey was in residence at New Inn?"
12187Do n''t you consider these facts very striking and significant?"
12187Do you happen to have a note of his address in Hamburg?"
12187Do you happen to know if he is married?"
12187Do you know him, sir?"
12187Do you know if her Christian name happens to be Pauline?"
12187Do you know of any disease that takes people in that way?"
12187Do you know of anything more?"
12187Do you mean them to bear in any special way on the Blackmore case?"
12187Do you mind holding the lamp while I inspect the remains?"
12187Do you see any evidences of the activities that used to occupy your uncle?"
12187Do you see any slippers?
12187Do you see?"
12187Do you think he is really a medical man?"
12187Do you think that could be managed?"
12187Do you think you will be able to decide when you see him again?"
12187Do you understand?"
12187Does he propose that we advise Mr. Marchmont to enter a caveat?"
12187Does that mean that he pursued any particular branch of learning?"
12187For what purpose, then, were they used, and in such considerable quantities?
12187Graves?"
12187Graves?"
12187Graves?"
12187Had the drug habit produced such mental changes in the deceased as would destroy or weaken his judgment?
12187Has Mr. Graves been abroad?"
12187Have I come here, at great personal inconvenience, to hear you read the inventory of a dust- heap?"
12187Have n''t I just told you that he has been watched continuously?"
12187Have they the same general character?"
12187Have we here yet another Oriental scholar?"
12187Have you a good memory for faces?"
12187Have you acted on his advice?"
12187Have you any facts bearing on that question?"
12187Have you ever looked over these notes?"
12187Have you examined and tested them?"
12187Have you forgotten my proposal?"
12187Have you forgotten that Mrs. Schallibaum may be in the neighbourhood at this moment?"
12187Have you gone into the question of sleeping sickness?"
12187Have you got a probe about you?"
12187He continued to draw that regularly?"
12187He is dying?"
12187How came the walls to be so damp?
12187How could they be?
12187How did she happen to be made- up in this fashion at this particular time?
12187How long did you go on?"
12187How much longer are we to be waiters?
12187How will that suit my learned friend?"
12187I accordingly tested it,''Yes?''
12187I acknowledged the apology somewhat stiffly and asked:"You are Mr. Weiss, I presume?"
12187I suppose this accident disposes of your business as far as the will is concerned?"
12187I suppose you ca n''t give me any idea as to what is the matter with the patient?"
12187I suppose you do n''t see any possibility of upsetting that will-- if I may ask the question?"
12187I suppose you see what your< i> modus operandi is to be?"
12187I suppose you took up some passengers on the way?"
12187I was saying-- er-- now, what was I saying?"
12187If a large-- a poisonous-- dose of the drug had been taken, how, and by whom had that dose been administered?
12187If he took it himself, with what object did he take it?
12187Is he left alone much?"
12187Is it highly confidential?
12187Is n''t that so, Jervis?"
12187Is not that so?"
12187Is that so?"
12187Is there anything more that you want to ask me before I go, for I must really run away now?"
12187Is there plenty of candle left in the lamp?"
12187It really involves the settlement of the antecedent question: What is it that is happening at that house?"
12187It would n''t be H. Weiss by any chance?"
12187Jervis?"
12187Jervis?"
12187No doubt his learned junior has picked up a few likewise?"
12187No?
12187Now why did he revoke the first will and replace it with another which he believed to be identical in its provisions?
12187Now, are you ready?
12187Now, what else can it be?
12187Now, what is a likely trade?"
12187Now, will you kindly explain to me how a man, boxed up in a pitch- dark carriage, is going to identify any place to which he may be carried?"
12187Or any peculiarity by which you could recognize him?"
12187Or should I bore a hole through the shutter of the carriage and peep out?"
12187Ought I to report the case to the police?"
12187Polton?"
12187Shall I give you the key?
12187Shall I go sir?"
12187Shall I proceed, or is your interest confined to the will?"
12187Shall I state my theory of the sequence of events and furnish the verification afterwards?
12187Shall we go into the other room?"
12187Shall we have our talk in the open air and the spring sunshine?"
12187Shall we look them over?"
12187Shall we tabulate the facts that are in our joint possession and see what they suggest?"
12187Should I break out of the house and run away up the street?
12187Should I maintain the professional secrecy to which I was tacitly committed, or ought I to convey a hint to the police?
12187Soda or plain water?"
12187Stephen?"
12187Stephen?"
12187Tell me, is he addicted to practical jokes?"
12187That is your object, I believe?"
12187That was the sum of the evidence that I had collected; and the question was, What did it prove?
12187The next is--?"
12187The question arises, how did those stones get into that field?
12187The question is, did he take that dose himself or was it administered to him by some other person?
12187Then he says to me:''Do you know New Inn?''
12187Then you are''back once more on the old trail''?"
12187There was a brief silence, and then Marchmont asked:"May we take it that we have now heard all the evidence?"
12187Therefore Jeffrey would have to be disguised in some way; and what disguise could be simpler and more effective than the one that I suggest was used?
12187Thorndyke said presently, after watching with grave interest my unavailing efforts;"what do you make of it?"
12187Thorndyke watched me with a mischievous smile, and, when I had finished, inquired:"Well; what is it?"
12187Thorndyke?"
12187Used we not to sail a yacht together when we were students?"
12187Was his vocabulary good?
12187Was it a reed pen of which the point had been broken off?
12187Was it conceivable that he could make anything of the present case?
12187Was it only feminine vanity-- mere sensitiveness respecting a slight personal disfigurement?
12187Well it''s just a matter of-- ale or claret?
12187What alternative method could be suggested?
12187What am I wanted to do?
12187What are they?"
12187What are you going to do?
12187What are you going to do?"
12187What are you going to prove?"
12187What command of English had he?
12187What could that significance be?
12187What could this mean?
12187What date would that be?"
12187What do you expect to find there?"
12187What do you make of that, Jervis?"
12187What do you make of that?"
12187What do you say, Winwood?"
12187What do you suppose can be the explanation?"
12187What do you suppose has happened?"
12187What do you think about it yourself?"
12187What do you think, Jervis?"
12187What do you want me to do?"
12187What does a second year''s student make of a small thoracic aneurysm?
12187What does he complain of?"
12187What had we learned from our exploration?
12187What has happened to your uncle''s chambers in New Inn since his death?"
12187What he evidently desired was-- mustard?
12187What inference does that lead to?"
12187What is it that you want my opinion on?"
12187What is that graduation on the side- bar?"
12187What is the next?"
12187What made you ask?"
12187What ought I to do?
12187What should I want to read it aloud for?"
12187What sort of man is he?"
12187What then?"
12187What was that something that he wanted to tell me?
12187What was the mistake we made?"
12187What was the object of which these are the parts?"
12187What were these circumstances?
12187What would you do?"
12187What would you expect to find?"
12187Whatever''s to be done?"
12187When shall I start on my job?"
12187When would you like to be off?"
12187Whither was I being carried and for what purpose?
12187Who was he?
12187Who was he?
12187Who was the other?
12187Why should I?
12187Why should n''t we drop in and see the inspector or superintendent?"
12187Why were they not returned to Jeffrey with the pass- book in the usual way?"
12187Why?"
12187Why?"
12187Will not tea do, if I make it very strong?"
12187Will that suit you?"
12187Will you go and see what you can make of him?"
12187Would they give me a leading hint too?
12187Would you be s''kind''s t''let me lie down few minutes?"
12187Would you like to read the two wills, or shall I first explain the circumstances?"
12187Would you mind doing so, and can you find another respectable person to act as the second witness?''
12187Yet could anything be more impossible?
12187You clearly understand that?"
12187You do n''t dispute the identity of the body, do you?"
12187You do n''t object, I hope?"
12187You follow the process?"
12187You mean that the frame- maker hung the thing upside down and Jeffrey never noticed the mistake?"
12187You mean the electric railway?"
12187You remember Mr. Marchmont, the solicitor?"
12187You remember what I told you of my methods when I began this branch of practice and had plenty of time on my hands?"
12187You said that the tremulous iris was in the right eye, I think?"
12187You see the bearing of this?"
12187You see the important bearing of this?"
12187Your name is Wilkins, I think?"
12187and can we connect him in any way with New Inn?
12187exclaimed Mr. Winwood, glaring ferociously at me,"what do you think of the learned counsel''s opinion?"
12187or''No?''
12187said I, stooping to examine the photographs with fresh interest;"what is that?"
16339A bit ugly, eh? 16339 A lady, handsome, tall, distinguished,_ comme il faut_, with a companion, a servant, a nurse carrying a child?"
16339A listener, Colonel Annesley? 16339 A prisoner, am I?"
16339Accompany you? 16339 Ah, where?
16339All bound for Locarno, eh? 16339 Already dressed?
16339Am I?
16339An adventuress, eh?
16339And does he?
16339And if I refuse, distinctly, positively, categorically; if I deny your contention, and protest that I have nothing to tell you?
16339And leave me without protection, with all I have at stake? 16339 And might I ask,"his lordship went on,"whether a certain Mrs. Blair, a lady with her child and its nurse, is staying in the hotel?"
16339And my actions, I presume?
16339And on board the steamer? 16339 And pray what does''my lady''want with me?"
16339And she was going to Lausanne?
16339And the ladies went on board it, you say? 16339 And yet you propose to leave me to fight it out alone?
16339And you noticed nothing big, no parcel for which they were particularly concerned?
16339Are we near then? 16339 Are you at all afraid of being left with these wretches?"
16339Are you coming?
16339Are you making a fool of me?
16339Are you really deserting me?
16339Are you treating me fairly, chivalrously, as a gentleman and a man of honour should? 16339 Between gentlemen?
16339But Henriette-- what is to become of her?
16339But what of your friend Tiler? 16339 But what was it?
16339But what was the message? 16339 But what will happen now?"
16339Can we have places for Lucerne?
16339Can you be at the entrance to the hotel in a couple of hours''time? 16339 Come, Colonel Annesley, how long is this to go on?
16339Coming here? 16339 Did she let on?
16339Do you go beyond Lucerne?
16339Do you make a long stay at Geneva?
16339Do you think that you own all Switzerland, my noble earl?
16339Does your lordship propose to make a long stay in Aix? 16339 Domenico Falfani?
16339Five hundred francs would n''t tempt you to let me have a free hand for just half an hour? 16339 For any time?"
16339For good and all? 16339 From what quarter do you anticipate it?"
16339Getting anxious about me?
16339Going all the way to Brieg by road, I believe? 16339 Gone?
16339Good wages, if it''s a fair question?
16339Halloa, my wily detective,he said mockingly;"settled it all quite to your satisfaction?
16339Have I not to thank you for your courtesy in the train a couple of days ago?
16339Have I seen two ladies and a child this morning? 16339 Have you any doubts?"
16339He expects a call?
16339Here, I say, what''s all this? 16339 How can I when I''m satisfied he''s wrong?
16339How come you here? 16339 How could I see it?
16339How dare you show yourself here?
16339How dare you, sir, refer to my conduct, or presume to criticize or question it?
16339How do I know? 16339 How do you know I have done so?"
16339How do you know that?
16339How far may I go?
16339How is his lordship? 16339 How much have you overheard?"
16339How should you? 16339 How was I to know?"
16339I have a railway guide in my bag, shall I fetch it?
16339I must not expect unhesitating self- sacrifice? 16339 I shall have a compartment to myself, then?"
16339I shall not disappoint you,was what I said, and, in a firm assured voice, added,"You have resolved then to travel forward in this train?"
16339If I promise to do all that will you promise not to give me away? 16339 In chokey?
16339In here?
16339In there?
16339Including the Earl of Blackadder, I presume? 16339 Is it your own, or did you find it or annex it from next door?
16339Is one an English milord,_ hein_? 16339 Is that of much consequence?
16339Is there another train soon?
16339It means, I suppose,suggested l''Echelle,"that you will make for Milan, too?"
16339It''s a bargain, then; I can count upon the cash? 16339 It''s the best, is n''t it?
16339Know what, Henriette? 16339 Lady?
16339Lausanne or Ouchy? 16339 May I ask, please, whether you were to believe in me or not?"
16339May I be forgiven if I trench on such a delicate subject, and assure you of my most sincere sympathy? 16339 May I hope you will accompany me to my rooms?
16339May I look?
16339May I venture to ask your counsel and help? 16339 Monsieur, monsieur, will you believe it?
16339Not seriously?
16339Not to Aix?
16339Not very busy?
16339Now, are you quite positive it was the two o''clock going that way, and not the quarter past two returning from Geneva?
16339On your high horse, eh? 16339 Once more and for the last time, Henriette, will you do what I want?"
16339Perhaps your lordship will allow me to make a suggestion?
16339Philpotts? 16339 Places?"
16339Surely I am not mistaken?
16339The 2.15?
16339The Earl of Blackadder? 16339 The train will run, I hope?
16339Then on what do you condemn me? 16339 Then you are willing to take it so, to put the best construction on what you have heard, to forget my words, to surrender your suspicions?"
16339There is a limit, then, to your devotion?
16339To Lucerne or further?
16339To join us in the watching? 16339 To the East?
16339To whom are you speaking, sir?
16339We ought to go on, you think? 16339 Well, how have you fared?
16339Well, why not? 16339 Well, why not?"
16339Well, why should n''t he? 16339 Were they carrying anything, either of them?"
16339What are we to do now?
16339What are we to do, Philpotts?
16339What brings you up here?
16339What did I tell madame?
16339What do you mean to do? 16339 What do you mean?"
16339What do you think of this? 16339 What does my lord say?"
16339What has happened? 16339 What have I done?
16339What is taking you to Lake Maggiore? 16339 What is this?"
16339What is to be done? 16339 What shall I say, Colonel Annesley, and what will you think of me?"
16339What time was it?
16339What was your regiment?
16339What would his lordship say? 16339 What''s all this?"
16339What''s come to you, ma''am? 16339 What''s wrong?
16339When shall I see you again?
16339Where have we met?
16339Where is he? 16339 Where is he?"
16339Where is she?
16339Who are you to prevent me? 16339 Why does he choose this hotel of all others?"
16339Why drive me to that?
16339Why has Claire deserted me? 16339 Why is that, if I may ask?"
16339Why not? 16339 Why not?"
16339Why should I be at her beck and call? 16339 Why should I tell you?"
16339Why should you? 16339 Why, how can you suppose such a thing, my lady?
16339Will monsieur come?
16339Will you give me your hand on it?
16339Will you?
16339With the child?
16339Without conditions?
16339Would you come over to us, belong to us body and soul? 16339 You admit there are such appearances?
16339You are going to Lausanne?
16339You believe that Lord Blackadder will find his way to Tangier?
16339You call yourself an officer, a colonel? 16339 You can not surely refuse me?
16339You do n''t agree?
16339You do not mind, monsieur? 16339 You expect to be pursued, I presume?"
16339You imply that I have no conscience, or that I should feel the qualms, the prickings of conscience?
16339You mean to abstract it somehow-- pick his pocket, or what?
16339You saw them?
16339You think that some communication will reach him from the fugitives?
16339You think we can go on, that it''s safe, even in this empty train? 16339 You want to keep the child?"
16339You, too, are going beyond Lausanne?
16339Your own master then?
16339_ Ma foi_, yes, I believe so; or was it to Ouchy?
16339_ Was ist das? 16339 Ah, your own; and what have you to do with her?
16339Am I a humbug, an impostor, an adventuress, a puppet and play- actress?
16339Am I right in supposing we are to be fellow travellers by the Engadine express?"
16339And how much the better should we be?
16339And you?
16339Are n''t you afraid you may fall off or get knocked off?"
16339Are you mad?
16339At any rate, I am not worth robbing, are you?
16339Become one of us, belong to a gang of thieves, liable like the rest of us to the law?
16339Besides-- money is all powerful in this venal country-- how could I pay, a poor devil like me, the necessary price?
16339But how can I keep him after that wicked decision of the Court, and with such a persistent enemy as Ralph Blackadder?
16339But if you feel like that, why not wait?
16339But we''ll agree what you''d do for us in return?"
16339But what did I know of her real character?
16339But whether she was bound to Lausanne or Ouchy,"_ diable_, who could say?"
16339By the way, have you heard anything of your other man?"
16339Ca n''t be possible?
16339Ca n''t you see?
16339Call in the gendarmes at the next station?
16339Can I have no privacy?
16339Can I still count upon your help?"
16339Can he describe them to me?"
16339Can not I go across to the station before them and hide in some compartment specially reserved for us?"
16339Can we be of any use to you?"
16339Can you forgive me?''
16339Can you join me at either end-- Brieg or Domo Dossola?
16339Could I find bail?
16339Could I see her?
16339Could she have fallen a victim to the machinations of Lord Blackadder?
16339Could this be really so?
16339Did I think justice was to be bought in Switzerland?
16339Do you agree to my terms?"
16339Do you believe that?"
16339Do you know who she is or was, anyway?"
16339Do you object?
16339Do you realize who and what I am?"
16339Do you repent already?"
16339Do you want to keep your child?
16339Do you?"
16339Does he propose to make a lengthened stay here?"
16339Done with Bradshaw-- sent off your wires?
16339Dressed?
16339English?
16339Ever been to Locarno before, Mr. Falfani?
16339Falfani?"
16339Give me into custody?
16339Going in which direction?"
16339Had he really seen this English lady?
16339Had she been seen?
16339Had she seen me talking to Falfani?
16339Had they separated, these two women, for good and all?
16339Had they sold me completely?
16339Have I not told you that already?
16339Have me taken red- handed with the-- stolen property-- the''swag,''you know the word, perhaps, in my possession?"
16339Have n''t you come here?"
16339Have you any idea what that woman-- that lady,"I corrected myself, for his eyes flashed,"has done?"
16339Have you any idea?"
16339Have you any special reason for fearing thieves?
16339Have you heard any more from Tiler?"
16339Have you succeeded in getting your rooms?
16339Have you taken leave of your senses?"
16339Hidden it, left it somewhere on the road in the lost property office or at a foundling hospital?
16339How about your service on the car?"
16339How am I to escape him?"
16339How are you to manage it?"
16339How can I decide as to the best course if you give me no help?"
16339How can I tell you?''
16339How can you reconcile it to your conscience?"
16339How can you suggest such a horrid idea?
16339How could I hope to lure her pursuers away to a distance when she was here actually on the spot, and might be run into at any moment?
16339How could I withhold my countenance if she were in real distress?
16339How dare you judge me without knowing the facts, without a shadow of proof?"
16339How dare you think so ill of me?
16339How dare you, how dare you say such things?
16339How do I differ from the rest of-- your world, let us call it?"
16339How do you know, sir,"to the clerk,"that Mrs. Blair is still in the hotel?
16339How do you like that, eh?"
16339How do you mean to work it out?"
16339How dressed, and did he suppose her condition to be that of a lady like the other, equal in rank, or an inferior?
16339How is it that I find this chap in my compartment?
16339How long does it take, have you any idea, and how do you travel?"
16339How long does my lord mean to stay here?
16339How many, may I ask?"
16339How much would it take to buy him?
16339How so?"
16339How soon shall you know?
16339How was I to class her?
16339How was I to shake him off now I saw that he was determined to stick to me?
16339How was he to be got away?
16339How will you like that?
16339How?"
16339I am acting for--""Yes?"
16339I answered him sternly:"What was Falfani saying to you just now?
16339I had resolved he should not find us, but where else should we go?
16339I have told you so already; did you not hear?"
16339I met his eye as soon as I could, and, in answer to my inquiring glance, he came over to me and whispered:"Do n''t you see?
16339I ran off without a word, did n''t I?
16339I sent you out to recover my child, and what have you done?
16339I suppose he can be spared, Falfani?"
16339I think about 6 P.M.""Will that not lose time?"
16339I think there is no dining- car on this train?"
16339I was so sorry for her: how could I cast her off?
16339I wish-- I wish--""That you had never done it?"
16339I-- I--""Did it, Henriette?
16339If not Lord Blackadder, what then?
16339In here?"
16339Is it generous, chivalrous, to desert a poor woman in her extremity?"
16339Is that reasonable?
16339Is that the name he has given you?"
16339Is that your own or a''purser''s''name?
16339It was rather a bore to be put on to her in the way of business; but why should I not get a little pleasure out of it if I could?
16339It would be a very serious matter if-- if--""The contrary was the case,"I wanted to say, yet how could I?
16339It would be about 2 P.M., would n''t it, when the express boat comes from Vevey and Bouveret?"
16339It_ is_ you, then?
16339Ladies?
16339Lady Claire has little Lord Aspdale and has left you the dummy?
16339Lady Henriette then has determined to take the first train from Amberieu at-- Have you a Bradshaw?
16339Lausanne I think you said?"
16339Like a lamb, eh?
16339Locked in?
16339May I ask you to convey to him my deep regrets for what occurred, and my sincere wishes for his recovery?
16339Not on my account, surely?"
16339Of course you arranged that at Culoz?"
16339Oh, why is n''t she here, why did I let her leave me?
16339One of your own party, was n''t he?"
16339Or is it that I have forfeited my right, my rank of gentlewoman, my position in the world, your world?"
16339Ranging up alongside I said, not without exultation:"Geneva was not so much to your taste, then?
16339Robbed a church?"
16339Sacked, dropped out, or what?"
16339Say they catch sight of Henriette as soon as we do?"
16339Shall I accept their bid?
16339Shall I prevent it?
16339She started for Italy; what turned her back when you followed her, and why did she come this way again?"
16339So come along, sharp''s the word, see?
16339So you see--""If she goes round by Lyons to Marseilles, then, he would be at her heels, and the scheme breaks down in that respect?"
16339Some fresh trick?
16339Stay, what have we here?"
16339Still at my heels?
16339Suppose the five attendants and the others were to combine against us?
16339Surely you have succeeded?"
16339Surely you perceive how this must end?
16339Take your turn of''sentry go''--isn''t that your military term?
16339Tall or short?
16339That we were the women he wanted was probably borne in on him, but what had become of the baby?
16339That will be enough, I presume?
16339The point is, how we should travel?"
16339This beautiful woman, so richly endowed by nature, so outwardly worthy of admiration, a despicable degraded character within?
16339To Culoz?
16339To Naples I think you said?"
16339Told you, herself?
16339Took up by the police?
16339Up or down?
16339Wait over for another train, I mean?"
16339Was it good enough?
16339Was it not clear that her real point was Italy?
16339Was it not possible to give them the slip, somehow, somewhere?
16339Was it possible for Henriette to get off by herself?
16339Was she so old a hand, so hardened in crime, that the fears of detection, arrest, reprisals, the law and its penalties had no effect upon her?
16339Was she tall or short?
16339Was she to be overtaken and despoiled, legally, of course, but still cruelly, separated from her own flesh and blood?
16339Was she to have no fresh air, no change of scene?
16339Was the boy captured and she detained while he was spirited away?
16339Was the money thrown away, and his intention now to go back on his bargain?
16339Was there ever such a broken reed of a woman?
16339Well dressed, handsome, or the reverse?
16339Well, what''s the next move?"
16339What am I to do?
16339What can they do to me?
16339What could have happened to Henriette?
16339What could this mean?
16339What could we have done with it?
16339What do you know of it, or what led me to do it?
16339What do you think of my diplomacy?"
16339What had become of my sister and little Ralph?
16339What had he done with her?
16339What has become of that abominable woman who stole it from under your very noses?
16339What if her whole story was untrue, what if there was no Hôtel Cornavin, and no such guests there?
16339What if she left without your knowing it?"
16339What next?
16339What of my first doubts and suspicions?
16339What shall I do?
16339What shall I do?"
16339What shall I say to you?
16339What sort of a chance have you?
16339What sweeter music in a woman''s ear than to be told of the sway she exercises over the man of her choice?
16339What the mischief do you mean by asking me questions?
16339What though I were pawning my honour?
16339What was her companion like?
16339What were we driving at?
16339What will the enemy have been doing at Culoz?
16339What would you?
16339What''s he been doing to you or you to him?"
16339What''s wrong with him?
16339What''ve you done?
16339What?
16339What_ can_ I do?"
16339When did you come on duty?
16339When is it to be?"
16339When?
16339Where and how had Lord Blackadder met Henriette?
16339Where are we going?
16339Where is little Lord Aspdale?"
16339Where shall we come?"
16339Where was Henriette?
16339Where was my involuntary companion bound?
16339Where was she now?
16339Where, I should like to know?"
16339Who and what could these two people be with whom I was so strangely and unexpectedly thrown?
16339Who and what was he?
16339Who could have done it?
16339Who could resist her pleading voice and shining eyes?
16339Who knows what might happen when our backs were turned?
16339Who might you be?"
16339Who the deuce are you?
16339Who, then, is the other?"
16339Why did they run you in?"
16339Why do I pay you?
16339Why does a woman do anything, and particularly this one?
16339Why else had she returned to Culoz by the early train directly she thought she had eluded Tiler?
16339Why have you formed such a bad opinion of me?"
16339Why indeed?
16339Why is it?"
16339Why not seize it at once?"
16339Why not?
16339Why not?
16339Why should I be buried alive in such an out- of- the- way spot?"
16339Why should I constitute myself her judge?
16339Why should he be more faithful to my lord than to the Colonel?
16339Why should she run back again?"
16339Why should they want to make us their victims?
16339Why should we not dine together in the dining- car by and by?"
16339Why, then, Tiler asked, had she gone to Amberieu, running back as she had done with him at her heels?
16339Why?
16339Why?
16339Why?"
16339Will you allow me to absent myself if only for a few days?
16339Will you listen to me?
16339Will your Colonel move up?"
16339Would he describe her appearance to me, and that of her companion?
16339Would monsieur call again?
16339Would n''t it be better to slip out of the train at the first station and run away?"
16339Yes?
16339You are sure?"
16339You have no reason to fear them?"
16339You know of your latest conquest, I suppose?"
16339You know, you have heard, that Lord Blackadder is here, and actually in this hotel?"
16339You think she will really be there?"
16339You think so?
16339You''ll keep your own counsel and protect me from the Colonel?
16339but have we?
16339that noble sportsman?
16339this fair creature a thief?
16339what could I produce in cash on the nail?
16339why is that?
17040''Tis well enough for you, Cicely, who had but little to do with him, but do you forget that I was his affianced wife? 17040 A woman''s, David?"
17040Abroad?
17040Am I not a woman?
17040And afterwards?
17040And have you told Miss Strong,Drexley continued,"that you are proposing to marry her, but that you love another woman?"
17040And how is she?
17040And how many more times have you seen him during the fortnight, I wonder?
17040And if she does?
17040And she?
17040And the little cousin?
17040And the past?
17040And what about Joan?
17040And what am I?
17040And you are shielding him? 17040 And you told him-- what?"
17040And you will earn money-- how?
17040And you, my friend,she said,"how have things gone with you?
17040And you?
17040Annoyed?
17040Any more dinner parties?
17040Are n''t they out of date?
17040Are n''t you well, old chap?
17040Are you living with her, then?
17040Are you not weary of skulking under a false name?
17040Ay, but shall I be happy?
17040Believe? 17040 But her husband?"
17040But where? 17040 But you love Emily de Reuss?"
17040But your luggage-- was that left behind?
17040Ca n''t a woman-- always make it clear-- if she wants to-- that that sort of thing is not permitted?
17040Can you ask? 17040 Can you walk?"
17040Can you wonder what it is, David? 17040 Cissy,"he said,"do you know, this is what we always talked of, that I should write a story and read it first to you?
17040Could n''t you send it to me?
17040Dear lady,he murmured,"shall we go a little nearer and listen to the words of grace?
17040Dear,she said,"do you think any of these things are worth a moment''s consideration to a woman against the love of the man she cares for?
17040Dearest,she whispered,"have n''t I told you that you shall take my life into your keeping and do with it what you will?"
17040Did any one else see it?
17040Did any one kill Father, Douglas?
17040Did you not know that Douglas Guest disappeared that night, and was never more heard of-- ay, that there was money missing?
17040Do they know who he was?
17040Do you drink?
17040Do you have many-- ladies to see you?
17040Do you know if Jesson is in the club?
17040Do you know who did?
17040Do you know who it was?
17040Do you know,he asked,"where she is?"
17040Do you know,she said,"this afternoon I have had an idea?
17040Do you mean that you will not be my wife-- that you care for me, but not enough to marry me?
17040Do you mean to tell me that you care for my cousin-- seriously-- would have asked her to marry you?
17040Do you mind passing me my luncheon basket?
17040Do you mind,he asked,"for five minutes?
17040Do you think I ought to stop him?
17040Do you think that I am a child?
17040Do you think that I am to be put off with such rubbish as that? 17040 Do you think that she can?
17040Do you think that you are behaving fairly to her?
17040Do you want papers to sell? 17040 Does any one know who he was?"
17040Does the Countess de Reuss intend to be kind to him?
17040Dost hear, nephew Douglas? 17040 Douglas, wo n''t you trust me?
17040Douglas,she said,"did Joan care for you very much?"
17040Douglas,she said,"do you remember our first journey together?"
17040Douglas,she said,"will you listen to me for a moment?
17040Emily, is it because I am poor and unknown? 17040 Every one?
17040Exhaustion?
17040First of all then, why are you in evening dress on a Sunday?
17040For always?
17040For what?
17040Going to dine, Drexley?
17040Has he any money?
17040Has he gone?
17040Have I any right to call you my friend?
17040Have I?
17040Have a drink?
17040Have you any right,she answered brightly,"to call me anything else?"
17040Have you seen her since?
17040Have you sent anything to Drexley yet?
17040Have you treated him badly then?
17040He is well, I hope?
17040He was a stranger, then-- you did not know him before?
17040How did you know?
17040How do you know that I shall come back?
17040How do you know?
17040How far am I bound,he asked hoarsely,"to do your father''s bidding?"
17040How is it, my friend,she cried,"that you always come exactly when I want you?
17040How long-- will this go on?
17040I may tell her that you can not come on Thursday because you have an engagement?
17040I may tell her that?
17040I thought,he muttered,"that it had been a woman, yet-- who knows?
17040I wonder,he said,"did you know the man Guest-- Douglas Guest?"
17040If I tell you that, Douglas,she said,"will it be kindness, I wonder?
17040If he was an old friend,Mr. Grey said,"why will you not give me his name?"
17040If the people here are poor,he said,"what about me?
17040Impossible? 17040 In my travelling dress?"
17040In the man or his story?
17040Is Mr. Jesson in?
17040Is it conceivable,she exclaimed,"that you do not know?"
17040Is it like this,he cried,"that you have kept men in chains before-- watched them go mad for sport?
17040Is n''t it delightful?
17040Is n''t that rather an extreme view of the case?
17040Is n''t there somewhere else I can write?
17040Is that you, Jesson?
17040Is that you?
17040Is your name really Douglas Jesson-- or is it Douglas Guest?
17040It is what you wanted all your life, is n''t it? 17040 Joan,"he said, looking across the table into her face, distorted with passion,"you believe that I killed your father?"
17040Like a wash?
17040Like it?
17040Look here,she said,"are you feeling all right now?"
17040May I ask in what way I am to suffer on your behalf?
17040May I come in, or is it too late?
17040May I come in?
17040May I sit down and talk for a little while? 17040 Mr. Warmington, is that Jesson story set up?"
17040My friends? 17040 My-- victims?"
17040No luggage?
17040Not suitable for him?
17040Of course you know,she said,"how every one has been reading those wonderful articles of yours in the Courier?
17040Shall we go there and sit down?
17040Shall we go?
17040She sent you away?
17040So easily?
17040So it was Father who told you that I was dead, eh?
17040So you are really going home to Feldwick, Joan?
17040Still,he asked, with a grim smile,"searching?"
17040Surely with you,he said,"it is n''t too late?"
17040Surely,she said,"your work is not so important as all that?"
17040That is quite true, my friend,she said,"but what of it?
17040That was all?
17040The Countess de Reuss, I believe?
17040The man who threw himself from the carriage window?
17040The ministry?
17040Then what in the name of all that is unholy,Douglas asked,"ails you?"
17040Things had gone so hardly with you then?
17040This new resolution of yours-- did you come by it alone, or has any one been advising you?
17040Too much of a toff, eh? 17040 Want to see me?"
17040Was he run over?
17040Was it-- about me?
17040Well, David?
17040Well?
17040Well?
17040Well?
17040Well?
17040Well?
17040Well?
17040Well?
17040Well?
17040Well?
17040Well?
17040Were you speaking to me?
17040What are you going to do to- night, Drexley?
17040What business?
17040What can I do for you?
17040What do you mean, Douglas?
17040What do you mean?
17040What do you want me to do?
17040What do you want me to do?
17040What has a minister of the gospel to do with these? 17040 What have you been up to?"
17040What have you done with your friends?
17040What is it, Mason?
17040What is it?
17040What of him? 17040 What of that?"
17040What place is this? 17040 What shall we talk about?"
17040What was the title?
17040What''ll you have?
17040What?
17040What?
17040When are you going to look up Drexley?
17040When is the best time to catch him?
17040Where did they come from?
17040Where''d you be by the time I''d brought him, I''d like to know?
17040Where,he demanded--"where is she?"
17040Who is it?
17040Who is this woman?
17040Who on earth is he?
17040Who typed it for you?
17040Why ca n''t men forget it sometimes? 17040 Why not Africa, and a fresh start?"
17040Why not here?
17040Why on earth should n''t you come to my rooms?
17040Why should I trust you? 17040 Why victims?"
17040Why, you do n''t mind, do you, Douglas? 17040 Why?
17040Why?
17040Will it bother you?
17040Will yer lend us a hand, guvnor?
17040Will you come and see me?
17040Will you let me have the stories for a few days?
17040Will you look in at my room?
17040Will you tell me who it was?
17040Will you tell me,she asked quietly,"why you have entered my carriage which is engaged-- and in such an extraordinary manner?"
17040Will you tell me,she said,"now that you are in London, what will you do?
17040Will you write me a London letter of a thousand words three times a week for ten pounds?
17040With me?
17040Woman, David? 17040 Would they think it an intrusion?"
17040You are Douglas Guest, then?
17040You are a stranger there, then?
17040You are a writer, then?
17040You are angry with me?
17040You are cold?
17040You are going to friends?
17040You are going up for the day only?
17040You are goingshe asked,"to London?"
17040You are not anxious, then,Douglas said,"to earn a hundred pounds reward?"
17040You are on a visit here?
17040You are really on the staff of the_ Ibex_?
17040You are sure you wanted to see me?
17040You ca n''t do things well that you do n''t care about, can you?
17040You care-- enough for that?
17040You did not know, then-- be calm, my friend-- that Emily had a husband living?
17040You had a motive, I presume?
17040You had my letter, Cicely?
17040You have n''t been worrying about Joan?
17040You have not heard from her lately, I suppose?
17040You have seen him lately, my friend?
17040You have seen him?
17040You have seen him?
17040You have some written?
17040You have thought about it?
17040You knew of Father''s death?
17040You knew of these things, David?
17040You knew that he was robbed and murdered?
17040You knew-- that he was dead?
17040You know about the murder, then?
17040You know him?
17040You know that I have asked her to be my wife?
17040You know that he is alive?
17040You know that man?
17040You know the circumstances?
17040You like it?
17040You see him often at the club?
17040You understand now?
17040You were with her when she was taken ill?
17040You will send me a proof?
17040You wo n''t come?
17040You''ll stay the night here anyhow, sister?
17040You?
17040Your ladyship may remember,he said,"that there was a shocking accident upon the train?"
17040Your own?
17040*****"Well?"
17040A letter from her was by no means an everyday affair, for she was a woman of caprices, as who should know better than he?
17040A worker, a student-- or have you a trade?"
17040After all, was not a man for ever the slave of his past?
17040After all, what was success worth?
17040After all, why need he hurry?
17040Am I to lose father and brother, ay, and husband, Douglas, and sit meekly in my chimney- corner?"
17040And do you know what he said, Douglas?
17040And the_ Ibex_ story?
17040And what excuse have you for wearing a new frock to dazzle the eyes of a lonely bachelor with?"
17040Anderson?"
17040Are you going to take your place amongst them?"
17040Are you going with me, or will you rest a bit?"
17040Are you not hungry, too?"
17040As to his death, what do I know of that?
17040At the club they chaffed him mercilessly-- a rabid tuft- hunter, or had he political ambitions?
17040Bailiff Morrison''s cottage, two pounds a week, and Joan for his wife?
17040Besides-- I may be quite frank with you, I know-- I am spending a great deal more than I am earning, and that wo n''t do, will it?"
17040But you force me to ask you directly, what possible concern can it be of yours?"
17040Ca n''t you see that I have found it a pleasure to help you to see that side of which you were ignorant?"
17040Can you ask me then what should be the purpose of my life?
17040Can you care for me enough for that?"
17040Can you understand that, I wonder?"
17040Cicely, surely where men do great works, where men live and die, that is the proper place for man?
17040Could she make them arrest you?"
17040Did Joan suspect that he was still alive?
17040Did you not hear him say that it was she who had destroyed him?
17040Do any of us really know, I wonder, what we would do under any given circumstances?
17040Do n''t you know why I wanted that money?
17040Do n''t you think that I am wise if I try to avoid running such a risk?"
17040Do n''t you think yourself that it is almost time I buckled to and started life more seriously?"
17040Do you hear the sheep- bells from behind the hill there?
17040Do you know I have come to take you for a drive?
17040Do you know London at all?"
17040Do you know that these men are your victims, Emily de Reuss?"
17040Do you know what that is?"
17040Do you know why Drexley behaved so disgracefully to you about your story?"
17040Do you know you have saved me from a nightmare?
17040Do you mind if I tell it you?
17040Do you mind the darkness?"
17040Do you remember how sweet the perfumes were-- the heather and the wild thyme?
17040Do you remember how we lay in the heather and the dreams we had?
17040Do you remember how we stood side by side and shuddered?
17040Do you remember?"
17040Do you see?"
17040Do you think that she knows what she wishes herself until the last moment, until it is too late?"
17040Do you understand?"
17040Dost understand?"
17040Guest,"he said,"but I fancy that last time we met it was as fellow- criminals, eh?"
17040Had he not seen their hands joined?
17040Had n''t you better hurry away before I have the chance to do you any harm?
17040Had they, after all, been such brilliant successes?
17040Has Drexley been more of a bear than usual, or has Spargetti ceased his credit?"
17040Have you finished with''the chief''already?"
17040Have you learnt your lesson?"
17040Have you seen the papers during the last few days?"
17040He was young, and Father was very stern and obstinate, as who should know better than ourselves, Joan?
17040He would go and say,"Here am I, Douglas Guest-- what do you want with me?
17040Her address?
17040How comes it that you know these things?"
17040How do I know that you''re not the chap?
17040How on earth did a man who can do work like that get into such a state?"
17040How should she see what had come even to her only as an inspiration?
17040How was it that in those days he had never more fully realised her charms?
17040How was it with these two girls?
17040I guess it''s lost now, anyway, unless the river police find it-- and that ai n''t likely, is it?"
17040I guess you''re a gentleman, are n''t you-- run away from home or something?"
17040I loved her, Duchess; who could help it?
17040I wonder, have you found the truth yet?
17040If I had known then what your letter has since told me, what do you think that I should have said to you?"
17040If she and I stood before you here, both free, both with our hands stretched out towards you-- ah, I need not go any further, need I?
17040In his heart he felt that Drexley had taken his place-- and whose the fault save his own?
17040Is n''t it a little hard upon me, my friend?
17040Is n''t that music?
17040Is that it?"
17040Is that too bold?"
17040Is this all the effect of Mr. Rice''s warning?"
17040It was after I had left--""Two in one night?"
17040It was close upon morning then, you know-- it seemed to grow light as we stood there, did n''t it?
17040It was n''t kind, was it?
17040Jesson?"
17040K.?"
17040London has made man and woman of us, but are we any happier, I wonder?"
17040May I take you to her?"
17040Mr. Drexley is a friend of yours, is n''t he?
17040Must I put it into words?"
17040My friend, that little speech errs on the other side, does it not?"
17040No?
17040No?
17040Now, can you take me somewhere where we can talk?
17040Of course, I have n''t finished furnishing yet, but they''re nice, are n''t they?"
17040Shall I tell you why?
17040So this is Mr. Jesson, eh?"
17040Supposing-- she were not alone?
17040Surely I had a right to something?"
17040Surely behind him were evil things, before him-- what?
17040Surely he was still a man?
17040Surely that was evidence enough?"
17040There is nothing here to dazzle you, is there?
17040There''s a lovely band playing, and it''s all quite a fairy tale, is n''t it?"
17040Was he drifting towards this?
17040Was it a thing which he dared misuse?--fritter helplessly away in this time- forgotten corner of the earth?
17040Was it his fancy, or did she look at him for a moment more intently during the momentary silence which followed his speech?
17040Was it possible that he could be seriously attracted by Cicely?
17040Was that because of Joan?"
17040Was there another Joan whom he did not know?
17040Was there ever such transcendental folly as mine?
17040Was this to be the end of his dreams, then?
17040We were called into the parlour the Sunday morning before I-- I-- you remember my trial Sunday at Feldwick?
17040Well, is n''t it truth?
17040Were you not my promised husband?"
17040What about Chatterton?"
17040What are you bringing me here for?"
17040What are you going to do with him?
17040What are you going to do?"
17040What are you going to stand me not to tell that bobby, eh?"
17040What concern of yours, Joan, is it, I wonder?"
17040What did he know?
17040What did he owe to Douglas Guest, the friend of Emily de Reuss, successful where he had failed?
17040What did he tell you-- of him?"
17040What do you say?"
17040What does it matter?
17040What does it mean, I wonder?"
17040What else?
17040What else?"
17040What had Cissy to do with it all?
17040What had Emily de Reuss to do with such a man as this?
17040What is all this you are saying-- and why do you look so fierce?"
17040What is she to do then?"
17040What matter though the streets were squalid, and the men and women against whom he brushed were, for the most part, poorly dressed and ill looking?
17040What matter?
17040What mattered it so long as they were off?
17040What need for him to fear?
17040What of it?"
17040What shall we do?
17040What should he find inside, he wondered?
17040What then?"
17040What was in that parcel, eh?"
17040What was it that Gideon Strong had said?
17040When I had finished he asked,''Is that all?''
17040Whence had he come, and where was he going?
17040Which way are you going-- to the club?"
17040Who are you, and what do you want with me?"
17040Who could watch the people here and say so?"
17040Who heard me threaten him?
17040Who is this Emily de Reuss?"
17040Who saw me strike him?
17040Who was he, to pick and choose?
17040Why did he want to know?"
17040Why do n''t you keep it up?"
17040Why do you hesitate?
17040Why had this thing come to him, he wondered, of all men?
17040Why should you steal away like a thief with never a word, and ignore me wholly as a creature of no worth?
17040Why?
17040Why?"
17040Why?"
17040Will you avenge us, eh?
17040Will you be my wife?"
17040Will you bring Milly in another hansom?"
17040Will you help me to leave the shadows alone?
17040Will you walk round with me and wait while I change?"
17040Will you?"
17040Wo n''t you introduce me to your friend-- your sister, perhaps?"
17040Would you like to look at my books, or play billiards, or sit here and talk?
17040Yet even this is better, is it not, than the Methodism?
17040You a Londoner?"
17040You bear me no ill- will, I know?"
17040You believe in me now?
17040You can be patient for a little while, can you not?
17040You have money perhaps, or will you work?"
17040You have n''t his address by any chance, have you?"
17040You quarrelled with her, did you not?"
17040You remember the night that we were at the''Milan''?
17040You remember when you first saw me?
17040You saw my advertisement?"
17040You see it is for life, is n''t it?
17040You understand?
17040You would ask me I know-- how long?
17040You''ll let me hear from you, eh?"
17040Your silence is shielding him, is it not?"
17040and was she looking for him?
17040he exclaimed;"and is n''t that a volume of De Maupassant''s?"
17040his new friend asked,"or have you come to London for good?"
17040she continued, with rising passion--"as other women?
17040she said,"and opening that flask of wine?
14623''Cause why?
14623A balloon, is it?
14623A lumberman?
14623A ride? 14623 And I want to see the cat,"added Rose,"Is her name Muffin?"
14623And did he have a ragged coat?
14623And did you get back your papers?
14623And did you?
14623And fish, too?
14623And have n''t you daddy''s papers?
14623And is he a tramp?
14623And is he red- haired?
14623And is that Zip?
14623And may we have the two old baby carriage wheels out in the barn?
14623And may we take Muffin?
14623And now we''ll get ready to go to Grandma Bell''s, wo n''t we?
14623And so you have n''t yet found the red- haired man with the papers, have you?
14623And that was your father''s place, was it? 14623 And then the little darlin''is n''t caught up by a German airship?"
14623And was he eating oysters?
14623And were you ever a tramp?
14623And where''s the cat?
14623And where''s the lightning?
14623And will that man find the red- haired lumber tramp that took your papers in the old coat?
14623Are all the children here?
14623Are n''t you a lumberman?
14623Are they going to our Grandma Bell''s?
14623Are they the woods?
14623Are we all here?
14623Are we going to take our automobile with us to Grandma Bell''s?
14623Are you all right?
14623Are you doing that, Russ?
14623Are you hurt, Laddie?
14623Are you looking for the lumberman-- the red- haired man who cuts trees?
14623Are you sure Grandma Bell would n''t like to have us bring some shooting things down to her?
14623Are you sure it''s a parrot and not a child in there?
14623Are you sure none of you is hurt? 14623 Are you sure they are the papers you want?"
14623Are you the Bunkers?
14623Are you the hired man?
14623Are_ you_ hurt?
14623Asking a riddle?
14623But I''m going to drive after a while? 14623 But are you fond of fishing, that you ask if I lost''em?"
14623But are you sure you are not lost?
14623But did you bring back daddy''s papers that he gave you?
14623But did you bring back the real estate papers?
14623But go on, Rose, tell me what they did do?
14623But they have_ something_ long, do n''t they?
14623But we''ll have fun there, anyhow, wo n''t we?
14623But what caused it?
14623But what did Russ and Laddie do?
14623But what does it all mean?
14623But what happened?
14623But what happened?
14623But what''s the letter about?
14623But what_ is_ the riddle?
14623But who can it be?
14623But who took them?
14623But why would you like to go there, Laddie?
14623Can we go out in a boat some day?
14623Can we sail boats on it?
14623Can we, Daddy?
14623Can you get it out?
14623Chocolate cake is it? 14623 Could n''t we keep it, Mother?"
14623Could we go see Aunt Jo, in Boston?
14623Could we keep him?
14623Could we really ride in it, do you s''pose?
14623Daddy''s papers? 14623 Did I fall on you, Laddie?"
14623Did a bee sting Zip?
14623Did a ham sandwich explode?
14623Did either of you get hurt?
14623Did grandma tell you in the letter that the tramp lumberman left your papers at her house?
14623Did he? 14623 Did n''t Grandma Bell tell you not to chase cats?"
14623Did n''t we, Russ?
14623Did n''t you ever have ice cream there?
14623Did n''t you get a ragged cent from my daddy''s real estate office about a month ago?
14623Did n''t you hear the noise?
14623Did she say Margy could, too?
14623Did she say you could fall in with''em on?
14623Did some other dog bite him?
14623Did somebody hit your steamboat, Russ? 14623 Did the old ram chase you?"
14623Did the ram ever chase you before, Mother?
14623Did you bring back my daddy''s papers?
14623Did you ever go up in one?
14623Did you ever see any, Jerry?
14623Did you fall into the water?
14623Did you find them?
14623Did you find them?
14623Did you get a letter from mother?
14623Did you get your papers?
14623Did you hear what happened to us?
14623Did you lose''em out of your coat?
14623Did you miss anything?
14623Did you really find a red- haired tramp lumberman?
14623Did you really find her in that bundle?
14623Did you see anything happen, Russ?
14623Do n''t you know what gid- dap means?
14623Do n''t you remember?
14623Do n''t you want him to give you a ride?
14623Do the cars sleep?
14623Do you know any red- haired lumberman-- one that''s a tramp?
14623Do you know our Grandma Bell?
14623Do you like it? 14623 Do you live at Mrs. Bell''s place?"
14623Do you mean a fire- balloon?
14623Do you mean over to Strawberry Hill?
14623Do you mean that ragged one?
14623Do you mean you want to go to Grandma Bell''s in a balloon?
14623Do you suppose he''s going after strawberries?
14623Do you suppose, by any chance, this tramp lumberman might know something of your papers, Charles?
14623Do you think it was?
14623Do you think it will be safe?
14623Do you think we can go?
14623Does it hurt you, Zip?
14623Does n''t he talk plain?
14623Does n''t she look cute in her red coat?
14623Eh? 14623 First, what is the question?"
14623Gid- dap? 14623 Give Rose and Vi a ride on the boat?"
14623Give sugar to the sheep?
14623Gone? 14623 Got any putty?"
14623Has anything happened to Vi?
14623Has anything happened?
14623Has grandma got your papers?
14623Have I got that ragged coat, you mean?
14623Have you a dog and a cat, grandma?
14623Have you found Laddie?
14623Have you found that red- haired tramp yet, Daddy?
14623Have you got anything for a hungry man?
14623Have you got''em?
14623Have you heard anything about the papers the tramp carried away in your old coat?
14623Have you one, Grandma Bell?
14623Have you two boys really been somewhere?
14623He gave us a good ride, anyhow, did n''t he, Russ?
14623He kept saying:''What made the boat sink? 14623 He was a nice man, was n''t he?"
14623He wo n''t come home?
14623He_ bought_ it?
14623How are you going to harness Zip to the cart?
14623How can we do it?
14623How can you?
14623How did it happen?
14623How did you find out she was in there?
14623How did you get in there, Margy?
14623How do you get the little pieces off the cobs?
14623How long''re we going to stay at Grandma Bell''s?
14623How many of you are going to Grandma Bell''s?
14623How would you all like to go after wild strawberries to- day?
14623How?
14623Huh?
14623I was running on it and----"What does he mean-- a_ wooden hill_ in the barn?
14623I wonder if they have any Grandma Bell to go to?
14623Is It Fourth of July yet?
14623Is Margy in the well or the doll?
14623Is any one hurt, children? 14623 Is any one hurt?"
14623Is he a tramp lumberman?
14623Is he the cat?
14623Is it a nice lake?
14623Is it because nobody would sell him a black hat?
14623Is it deep water?
14623Is it in the kitchen on the stove?
14623Is it, Russ?
14623Is that a riddle-- about eating Mun Bun?
14623Is that another riddle?
14623Is that some pet?
14623Is there a fire, and are ye goin''for a policeman?
14623Is there any water around your steamboat, Russ?
14623Is this another riddle, Laddie?
14623Is this thunder- and- lightning cake?
14623Is your name Mike Gannon?
14623It does n''t go''round?
14623It would be awful far to walk to Mr. Barker''s place at Green Pond and back again, would n''t it, Russ?
14623It''s over on the road to Green Pond, is n''t it?
14623It''s why do n''t the tickets get mad when the conductor punches''em?
14623Let us give your dolls a ride on the boat?
14623Let you what?
14623Like a sky- rocket?
14623Look out for what?
14623Lose''em out of my coat? 14623 May n''t we go down and wade in the lake?"
14623May we come with you?
14623May we go along?
14623May we go down and paddle in the water?
14623Mercy, Laddie, what happened to you?
14623Miss anything?
14623News?
14623No? 14623 Norah, are you sure she is n''t in the house?"
14623Now where is the ragged coat?
14623Oh, Russ, what have you done now?
14623Oh, are n''t you''fraid?
14623Oh, are you some of the little children staying at Mrs. Bell''s house?
14623Oh, can we go?
14623Oh, is it_ really_ eating oysters?
14623Oh, is n''t she cute?
14623Oh, what is it?
14623Oh, what is it?
14623Oh, what made the boat sink?
14623Oh, what''s the matter?
14623Oh, where are they?
14623Oh, wo n''t water spoil your doll, my dear?
14623Oh, would n''t it be fine if this is the lumberman daddy wants, and he could get back his papers?
14623Oh, would n''t it be fun if we could go out West to Uncle Fred''s ranch?
14623Oh, you''re two of the six little Bunkers, are you?
14623Pineville-- Pineville?
14623Please, Grandma, may we?
14623Please, may I go out and see the dog?
14623Really?
14623S''posin''he has n''t got''em?
14623Shall I bring a red dress or a blue one?
14623Shall we come back home?
14623Shucking the buttons off your doll?
14623So you had an upset, did you?
14623So you six little Bunkers-- at least two of you-- came to see Mr. Barker, did you?
14623Something out there? 14623 Strawberries?"
14623The ragged coat?
14623The real estate papers?
14623The riddle is,''When is a barrel hungry?'' 14623 The steamboat?"
14623The wrong daddy?
14623Then what is it?
14623Then what makes''em so big? 14623 Thunder?"
14623To our Grandma Bell''s? 14623 WHERE IS MARGY?"
14623Was it the one I took for my doll?
14623Was the water deep?
14623Water? 14623 We''ll pick a lot of berries for the pies, wo n''t we, Laddie?"
14623Well, what made it?
14623Well, your father would like to get those papers back, would n''t he?
14623Were they in the coat?
14623Were you lost?
14623Were you waiting for us?
14623What about?
14623What are Russ and Laddie doing?
14623What are we going to do?
14623What are you going to do with him?
14623What are you making now, Russ?
14623What are you two going to do?
14623What cat?
14623What child is hidden in that auto?
14623What did you do, Margy?
14623What did you get to going on, and why could n''t you stop?
14623What did you think it was?
14623What do you mean, Laddie?
14623What do you s''pose he wants?
14623What for we dig a hole?
14623What for?
14623What happened when?
14623What has happened?
14623What have you done?
14623What in the world does he mean?
14623What is it, Mun Bun?
14623What is it, Rose?
14623What is it?
14623What is it?
14623What is it?
14623What is that?
14623What is the treadmill?
14623What kind of a wheel does n''t go''round? 14623 What kind of a wheel does n''t go''round?"
14623What kind of fun can we have?
14623What made it break?
14623What made it sink?
14623What made you?
14623What makes a horse''s shoes different from ours?
14623What makes you ask that?
14623What makes you s''pose so much?
14623What papers?
14623What tramp lumberman?
14623What was it you saw, Mun?
14623What was it you were asking me, little boy?
14623What was it?
14623What would daddy want to take us there for?
14623What''d he want of sugar?
14623What''ll we do if the old ram runs at us?
14623What''ll we do when we see that red- haired lumberman?
14623What''re you going to do that for?
14623What''s Mun Bun?
14623What''s Norah want, Russ? 14623 What''s he doing?"
14623What''s he saying?
14623What''s it about?
14623What''s she saying?
14623What''s that?
14623What''s the answer?
14623What''s the fence for?
14623What''s the matter, Laddie?
14623What''s the matter?
14623What''s the matter?
14623What''s the riddle, Laddie?
14623What-- what did you say?
14623What?
14623What?
14623What?
14623When a barrel takes a roll, is n''t it hungry? 14623 When are you going to get the boat, Daddy, and take us out?"
14623When can we go?
14623When shall we be there?
14623When''ll we get there, Mother? 14623 Where are you boys going?"
14623Where are you goin''?
14623Where are you going to get the wheels?
14623Where can the child be?
14623Where did Margy go?
14623Where did you get the balloon?
14623Where do you get the corn?
14623Where in the world have you two been?
14623Where is it?
14623Where is steamboat?
14623Where is steamboat?
14623Where is the coat?
14623Where was it?
14623Where''s that old coat of mine I sometimes wear?
14623Where?
14623Which one is gone?
14623Who is it?
14623Who is what?
14623Who''s Tom?
14623Who''s this grabbing my hand?
14623Whose doll is it?
14623Why do n''t the tickets get mad when the conductor punches''em? 14623 Why does a barrel eat a roll for breakfast?"
14623Why does n''t it go''round then?
14623Why does n''t it go''round, Russ? 14623 Why does n''t the footstool go around if it''s a wheel?"
14623Why is Zip like a little boy when he''s tired? 14623 Why is n''t it?"
14623Why not?
14623Why not?
14623Why not?
14623Why not?
14623Why not?
14623Why should we stay on the grass?
14623Why wo n''t he come home, Rose?
14623Why, where is Margy?
14623Why?
14623Will he bite us?
14623Will it make a noise like a fire- cracker?
14623Will the old ram- sheep come and get us?
14623Will they be all right?
14623Will you be so poor we ca n''t go to Grandma Bell''s?
14623Will your raft hold me?
14623With the rest of the little Bunkers?
14623Wo n''t the ram hurt you?
14623Would you like to go?
14623Yes, ca n''t you take some of them for a turn now?
14623You have my little girl?
14623You mean the red- headed one that has daddy''s papers?
14623You want to see a lumberman?
14623You''re the lumberman, are n''t you?
14623''How many lollypops can you buy for two pennies?''"
14623A conductor?
14623A little later the children heard a voice asking:"Well, are you having a good time?"
14623And did the tramp take the coat?"
14623And he sat by the window, murmuring over and over to himself:"Why do n''t the tickets get mad when the conductor punches''em?"
14623And where was Margy?
14623Are you sure you wanted me?"
14623Are you?"
14623Bunker?"
14623But are you lost?"
14623But do you know who that tramp was, and where he went?"
14623But have you daddy''s papers?"
14623But what are you doing?"
14623But what has my red hair to do with your father''s papers?"
14623CHAPTER VIII"WHERE IS MARGY?"
14623CHAPTER XXII OFF ON A TRIP"Are you sure this tramp lumberman who took the old coat with your father''s papers in it, had red hair?"
14623Ca n''t I have a balloon, Daddy?"
14623Could I?"
14623Daddy, and see what you''ve got on your hook?"
14623Did it have a mouth, Mun Bun?"
14623Did you get a ragged coat there?"
14623Did you think I did?"
14623Do n''t you remember?
14623Do n''t you''member?"
14623Do you know where Mr. Barker''s place is?"
14623Do you know?"
14623Do you remember that?"
14623Do you remember when you took me for the red- haired lumberman that you thought had your father''s papers: Remember that?"
14623Do you think you might meet this red- haired lumberman tramp, who has my old coat?"
14623Got any wood that needs cutting?"
14623Has anything happened to him?"
14623Have we got to come in?"
14623Have you got that coat now?"
14623Have you got the coat?"
14623He thought it was his father''s, and he called, above the noise of the crowd:"Why do n''t the tickets get mad when the conductor punches''em?"
14623How are you?
14623How?
14623I guess you''re all hungry after your trip, are n''t you?
14623I''m a hungry man and----""Are n''t you a lumberman, and did n''t my father give you an old coat the other day?"
14623If we get the papers wo n''t daddy be glad?"
14623Is he at home-- or your mother?"
14623Is it chocolate cake, Mother?"
14623Is that so?"
14623It''s like this--''Why does a barrel eat a roll for breakfast?''"
14623Mead?"
14623Oh, Vi, what made the boat sink?''"
14623Oh, what kind is that?"
14623Or did it just sink?"
14623Really?"
14623Russ and Laddie came to a halt, but the man waved his hand to them and asked:"Are you some of the six little Bunkers?"
14623Shall I tell you the answer?"
14623So Russ asked again:"Where are you going?"
14623So he interrupted with:"And have you got that ragged coat now, Mr. Tramp-- I mean Mr. Gannon?
14623Suppose, after all, Daddy Bunker should not get his papers back?
14623Then she turned to her father and asked:"How many telegraph poles are there?"
14623They heard Mrs. Bunker ask:"What sort of papers were they you lost?
14623Think I''m going to let you put a stone on my doll?
14623Tickets?
14623We had lots of fun that day, did n''t we?"
14623Well, Mun Bun, we ca n''t get a balloon now, but I can carry you, and that will be pretty nearly the same, wo n''t it?"
14623Were any of the little Bunkers missing?
14623What are you doing?"
14623What are you doing?"
14623What did Mr. Hurd mean?
14623What did you do?"
14623What do you ask that for, Vi?"
14623What do you mean?"
14623What happened?"
14623What is it?"
14623What is the matter?
14623What kind of a wheel does n''t go around?"
14623What kind of a wheel does n''t go''round?"
14623What kind of a wheel does n''t go''round?"
14623What made it sink, Vi?"
14623What made it?"
14623What made the boat sink?"
14623What makes a miller wear a white hat?"
14623What makes''em be called sky- rockets?"
14623What you mean?"
14623What''re you doing that for?"
14623What''re you doing, Laddie?"
14623What''s going on here?"
14623What''s that?
14623What''s that?
14623When does a barrel feel hungry?"
14623When is a barrel hungry?
14623Where are you going?"
14623Where are you?
14623Where did the balloon come from, Rose?"
14623Where is my baby?
14623Why did n''t you wade out to her yourself, and bring her to shore?"
14623Why did you come so far?"
14623Why do n''t they?"
14623Why does a miller wear a white hat?"
14623Why does our horse eat oats?"
14623Why is Zip, when he''s tired, like a little boy?"
14623Why is he like a little boy then?"
14623Why is he, Laddie?"
14623Will you let us?"
14623Will your dog pull you there?"
14623You are the man my clerk gave the coat to, back in Pineville, are n''t you?"
14623You have your shoes and stockings off, have n''t you?"
14623You mean those papers are gone?"
14623You say you came to see me?"
14623but did n''t Zip run fast, though?"
14623cried Mrs. Bunker,"How did she get into your auto?"
14623do you see his hair?"
14623he asked,"Do they go up to the sky?"
14623said Grandma Bell"Who is it?"
14623she exclaimed,"has anything happened?
14623what made the boat sink?
14623what''s the matter now?"
14623what_ has_ happened now?"
14623where have you been?"
14623where were you?"
11252''An''fwhat''s this, sor?'' 11252 ''How are ye now?''
11252''Misther Hollams, sor?'' 11252 ''Not know me?''
11252''Sparks?'' 11252 ''Who are you, there, inside?''
11252A clue?
11252A gang of thieves with stolen property?
11252A spent match, of course?
11252A-- what? 11252 After the body was discovered,"Hewitt asked the housekeeper,"was any stranger observed about the place-- whether carrying anything or not?"
11252Ah, but how?
11252And are the coals kept under this building?
11252And the window?
11252And they took nothing, you say?
11252And this is the drawer-- thoroughly searched, of course?
11252And those coats were searched, you say?
11252And who''s doing all this?'' 11252 And whose windows are they?"
11252Any news?
11252Anything else?
11252But are they sufficient evidence?
11252But have you searched the place?
11252But he is n''t in the habit of making a step three yards long, is he?
11252But how do you know this?
11252But how? 11252 But now how to find Crockett?
11252But still nothing was gone?
11252But what have these people done?
11252But, if you are right, how did the man get away?
11252But, man alive, why? 11252 But, of course, you mean that this mysterious person you speak of as having moved the body committed the murder?"
11252But, then, why did n''t you say this at the inquest?
11252But, then, you say you never left your office, and yet the drawings vanished-- apparently by some unseen agency-- while you were there in the room?
11252Can I see the broken desk?
11252Can ye rache me a poipe- loight?'' 11252 Certin, sor?
11252D''you mean the reelers are on it?
11252Did anything noticeable happen before these troubles of yours began-- anything here in London or on the journey?
11252Did he ever mention his relations?
11252Did n''t see''is face, did ye?
11252Did they steal anything?
11252Do n''t you propose to go further into this, then?
11252Do the roofs above any of those windows communicate in any way with yours?
11252Do you know Rameau''s other name?
11252Do you know anything of Hahn, the agent?
11252Do you mean you think this person-- whoever it is-- saw the crime?
11252Do you mind my smoking?
11252Do you remember anything out of the common happening-- anything whatever, no matter how trivial-- on the day Mrs. Heath lost her bracelet?
11252Do you want him?
11252Does Danby know you''ve got him?
11252Eh? 11252 Else how could the bolt have been broken?
11252Empty, of course?
11252From your house?
11252Got fwhat, sor? 11252 Got ut?"
11252Had any of the servants left you between the time the brooch was lost and the date of the pawn ticket?
11252Had the key been left in?
11252Have you a lift in this building?
11252Have you ever seen him?
11252Have you got Goujon?
11252He does n''t seem to think it nonsense himself, does he?
11252He must have hidden it, I suppose, to avoid sharing with Hollams?
11252How about old Taylor, at the Cop, guv''nor, eh?
11252How did you do it?
11252How does it strike you?
11252How does that strike you?
11252How much d''ye think I''ll get?
11252How was that? 11252 I do n''t see anything particular about it; do you?"
11252I knocked the dhirty face av him, sor, an''can ye blame me? 11252 I s''pose she''s been tellin''you all this?"
11252I suppose,asked Mr. Claridge,"it is too soon yet to ask if you have formed any theory in the matter?"
11252I waited some time,I said;"where did you both go to?"
11252In regard to Mr. Claridge''s assistant, now: Do you know anything of him?
11252Indeed?
11252Is Mr. Dixon now within?
11252Is that like him?
11252Is this Hewitt''s Detective Agency Office?
11252Is this one of your valuable and crusted old antiques?
11252Lately from Ireland?
11252Lloyd makes himself pretty comfortable, eh?
11252Lloyd? 11252 Locked?"
11252Looking for work?
11252May I trouble you to write it down? 11252 Meanwhile, what I want to know is, apart from all your professional subtleties-- which I confess I ca n''t understand-- can you get back the cameo?"
11252Mr. Claridge,Hewitt proceeded slowly,"_ when did you first find that Lord Stanway''s cameo was a forgery_?"
11252My dear sir, have n''t I said that I do n''t suspect a soul? 11252 My sister- in- law?
11252Myself?
11252Neither happened to look like Mr. Hollams, for instance?
11252No news, eh, inspector, eh? 11252 No, I do n''t, because it is n''t there-- else why are they trying to get it from this unlucky Irishman?
11252Nor yesterday?
11252Nothing else was even moved?
11252Now tell me exactly what instructions the man in the train gave you, and what happened?
11252Now tell me what happened on Thursday-- the poisoning, or drugging, you know?
11252Now the next misfortune?
11252Now, why was nobody to see those shops till Monday? 11252 Oh, that?
11252One moment-- have you the paper with the address now?
11252Perhaps he thinks he can extort a good sum from me by way of ransom?
11252Probably you already guess my business with you, Mr. Hewitt-- you have seen the early evening papers? 11252 Ran the first round of heats last Saturday and Monday, did n''t they?"
11252Remarkable in what particular way?
11252Ritter? 11252 See here, Mr. Dixon,"said Hewitt,"I think these are the drawings you are anxious about?"
11252See, now,quoth Hewitt,"you remember what map I told you to look at?"
11252Shocking thing this, eh, Mr. Hewitt? 11252 So it''s you, is it, Browdie?"
11252Something to do with it? 11252 Something to do with that apple you stole, I suppose?"
11252Speaking of signatures,Hewitt remarked,"perhaps you have already compared this with other specimens of Goujon''s writing?"
11252Steggles?
11252The key? 11252 The other, now?"
11252The tortoise is dead now, I understand?
11252Then I take it, Lord Stanway,Hewitt observed,"that you much prefer the cameo to the money?"
11252Then do you expect to find it at Hollams''house in Chelsea?
11252Then may I come to look on?
11252Then surely that will lead you to the cameo?
11252Then this is the used match,he observed,"exactly where it was found?"
11252Then who is this Mr. W. whose portrait you have in your possession?
11252Then, as to getting in at the window, would it have been easy?
11252Think? 11252 This chair and table were found as they are now, I take it?"
11252This, I take it,inquired Hewitt,"is exactly as it was at the time the brooch was missed?"
11252This,asked Hewitt,"was not in the room that Mrs. Heath had occupied, I take it?"
11252Um-- curious, certainly,he said,"Anything else?"
11252Very good,he said;"and now what are these extraordinary troubles of yours?
11252Was his arm in a sling?
11252Was the room disturbed?
11252Well, Brett,Hewitt asked me afterward,"what do you think of the verdict?"
11252Well, but what of the two people you think Mr. Claridge suspects?
11252Well, he''s pretty restless after his lost_ protà © gà ©_, is n''t he? 11252 Well, my boy,"said Hewitt,"has Steggles wiped out the tracks?"
11252Well, was anything done?
11252Well,he said,"have you got the murderer of Rameau yet?"
11252Well,said Lord Stanway,"what''s the result of the consultation?
11252Well,said Plummer, as he returned the case to his pocket,"what''s your opinion?"
11252Were all your servants at home on the day the brooch was pawned?
11252What actual assaults have they committed, and when? 11252 What d''ye mean?"
11252What did they do to you on Saturday?
11252What did you do?
11252What did you know about that? 11252 What is all this, Hewitt?"
11252What shall we say?
11252What shall you do now?
11252What shall you do?
11252What should he go off the place for?
11252What the deuce do you mean,he roared at Mr. Claridge,"by sending these police people smelling about my rooms and asking questions of my servants?
11252What was his address?
11252What''s that?
11252What, Lloyd?
11252What?
11252Where do you suppose he''s gone?
11252Where is he?
11252Where was the brooch?
11252Where was the letter posted?
11252Who towld me, is ut? 11252 Who was it, then?"
11252Who was that?
11252Why, where was that place you found me in?
11252Why?
11252Wo n''t this confinement be likely to have damaged his speed for a day or two?
11252Would you like to ask Worsfold and Ritter any questions?
11252Yes, yes,responded Rameau, looking haggardly about;"but is not zis-- zis room publique?
11252Yes, yes-- same opinion as inspector''s, eh? 11252 Yes; and the other person?"
11252Yes; will you ask him anything?
11252You are quite sure, are you, that everything was there except the key?
11252You called the police, of course?
11252You do n''t keep an office boy?
11252You found Mrs. Armitage''s door locked, I believe,asked Hewitt,"when you tried it, on the afternoon when she lost her brooch?"
11252You left here at eight last night, I think?
11252You mean the man we sat opposite at Luzatti''s, of course?
11252You must n''t upset yourself, Mrs. Clayton,Hewitt said,"or what will become of us all?
11252You say you_ know_ that another man was in the room,I said;"how do you know that?"
11252You say your men-- there are two, I understand-- had neither left the office?
11252You suspect somebody, probably?
11252You think it''s Goujon, do n''t you?
11252You''d scarcely expect a man with such a name as Hunter to talk with that accent, would you?
11252You''ve still got your watch and money, I suppose, since you were n''t robbed?
11252Your umbrella, I think?
11252_ Is_ it?
11252''Do you be lookin''for your fee that thief''s way?''
11252''Fwhat''s that, sor?''
11252''Is that so?''
11252''Oh,''sez he,''I s''pose ye''re a new hand; five quid-- ondershtand that?''"
11252''They''re in here, are they?''
11252''What shall we say, now-- afinnip?''
11252''Who are ye?''
11252''Why for you go in my room like that?
11252*****"System?"
11252A lump of sugar and a walnut?"
11252An''will I be protected?"
11252And am I to understand, my lord"--turning to Lord Stanway--"that these things are being done with your approval?"
11252And if you will only consider the matter calmly----""Consider it calmly?
11252And who told you to come here?"
11252And why, if he were a stranger, was he able to plant his jimmy from the outside just exactly opposite the interior bolt?
11252And yesterday-- was she out then?"
11252And, by the by, could you manage to have your son about the place to- day, in case I happen to want a little help out of doors?"
11252And, if he could not avoid a shake in his natural, small handwriting, how could he have avoided it in a large, clumsy, slowly drawn, assumed hand?
11252Any of ye seen''i m?"
11252Any of ye tell me where I might run across old Bill Stammers?
11252Are n''t you well?''
11252Are you going by that train yourself?"
11252As to the door?"
11252As to the family and visitors-- why, you do n''t suspect any of them, do you?"
11252As we went down the stairs he said:''I think we know one another pretty well now, Mr. Mason, eh?
11252But I may as well know if your men have keys of the office?"
11252But I think you said that the drawings were in a drawer in your_ own_ room-- not the outer office, where the draughtsmen are, I presume?"
11252But are you an inch nearer with all these speculations?
11252But can you find him?"
11252But do n''t go makin''a song of it, will you, now?
11252But he struggled hard to keep his faculties together, and ejaculated hoarsely:"Destroy it?
11252But how did they get away?
11252But how do you know Steggles will be going out?"
11252But how?
11252But how?"
11252But if you''ll leave your name----""My name is Hunter; but what the good of that?
11252But is he in it?"
11252But is n''t there a dark horse anywhere else?"
11252But it is so good a clue that I should like to know now whether you are determined to prosecute when you have the criminal?"
11252But suppose Danby had taken down his''To Let''notice, what would you have done, then?"
11252But was it kid about Gold Street?"
11252But what do you want the cinders smoothed for?"
11252But what shall I do with Ritter?"
11252But what shall we do with Ritter now?
11252But what will you do now?
11252But where-- how-- they must have been in the place after all, then?
11252But who is he?"
11252But why see the policemen?
11252But why should a bird carry a match in its beak?
11252But why_ will_ you persist in assuming that the only way of escape by a window is downward?
11252But you do n''t mind that, I suppose?"
11252But, if Steggles was selling us, why could n''t he have drugged the lad?
11252But, if he''s gone away to sell you, it is n''t much use finding him, is it?
11252But, then,_ somebody_ must have chopped you over the head; who was it?"
11252But-- why, this is Padfield High Street?"
11252By the by, can I get to the Cop-- this place of Taylor''s-- by this back lane?"
11252By the by,"he added suddenly,"I suppose you''re sure the trap- door was bolted last night?"
11252By the way, you never guessed that simple little puzzle as to how I found that this_ was_ a murder, did you?
11252By- the- by, Steggles is indoors, is n''t he?
11252By- the- by, were you thinking of having any alterations or additions made to your house?"
11252Can I give him any message?"
11252Can not I see him, for one second only?
11252Can you get nearer than I am now without them?"
11252Can you go by the next train?
11252Can you put me in a room?"
11252Come, you surely have it now?"
11252Comes of having anything to do with these blood- thirsty foreigners, eh?
11252Could anybody go?"
11252Could you hear it struck?"
11252D''ye mind that?''
11252Did n''t Mr. Danby leave any instructions, in case anybody should inquire?"
11252Did you ever see it?"
11252Did you notice anything peculiar yourself?"
11252Did you see a newspaper, for instance?"
11252Do I make myself clear?"
11252Do I understand that you would like me to look into the case independently, on your behalf?"
11252Do anything with him now?
11252Do n''t you remember everything that I did as we went down- stairs?"
11252Do n''t you think so?
11252Do you give him up?"
11252Do you know any of the people who live behind them?"
11252Do you know any thing of the business?"
11252Do you mean to say I sell forgeries?
11252Do you want to ask her anything?
11252Does it look like a clue?"
11252Does n''t that give you a hint?
11252Eh, Polly?"
11252Even if I confided in Lord Stanway privately, returned his money, and destroyed the cameo, what then?
11252Fancy any of''em for the sprint handicap?
11252First, what was Goujon''s character?"
11252First, your name?"
11252Forgery?
11252Forgery?
11252Found out nothing else, eh?
11252Got a lad o''your own in, have n''t you?"
11252Got something on, of course?"
11252Had his glass o''beer, has he?"
11252Have any of your neighbors been burgled during the night?
11252Have they told you about Rameau''s treatment of Goujon''s pet tortoise?"
11252Have you a clue?
11252Have you found him yet?"
11252Have you got it?
11252Have you got that?
11252He had a drink with the landlord, and said:"How''s things?
11252Hewitt bowed in his turn, and then asked:"Will you let me see the various breakages?
11252Hewitt stepped aside to let her pass, and afterward said interrogatively:"Miss Norris, your daughter, Sir James?"
11252His agitation still held him, and without a pause he immediately burst out:"Which of ye jintlemen will be Misther Hewitt, sor?"
11252His face paled, but he managed to stammer sharply:"What-- what-- what d''you mean?
11252How did you judge that?"
11252How did you know that?
11252How in the world were they taken out of the place, and how in the world did you find it out?"
11252How much are you going to have on?
11252How, to begin with, could you possibly know that the cameo was a forgery?
11252Hunter?''
11252I mean an opinion of your own?"
11252I mean, there was no chance of Mrs. Armitage having mislaid it?"
11252I s''pose it ai n''t any good asking how you got put on to our mob?"
11252I see her----""What about Nancy Webb?"
11252I suppose I am right in the belief that you have no resident housekeeper?"
11252I suppose the brooch, was really gone?
11252I suppose the object of the theft-- assuming it is a theft-- is pretty plain: the thief would offer the drawings for sale to some foreign government?"
11252I suppose they told you you were in another town?"
11252I suppose, by the by, that there is no getting at the matches left behind on the first and second occasions?"
11252I think that acquits_ him_, eh?"
11252If this were the work of Goujon and an open reference to his tortoise, why should he be at such pains to disguise his handwriting?
11252If you see anything likely to serve_ my_ interests, tell me, and-- and-- perhaps I''ll employ you, eh, eh?
11252Indeed, how can I suspect anybody in the circumstances?"
11252Is he a friend av yours, sor?"
11252Is it clear?"
11252Is n''t that so?"
11252Is that a panjandhery for the polis to laff at, sor?"
11252Is that so?"
11252Is that your gardener-- the man who left the ladder by the lawn on the first occasion you spoke of?"
11252Is there a cab or brougham your son and I can have for the evening?"
11252Is there a small crowbar about the house, or some similar lever?"
11252Is there any means of communication between the roofs?"
11252Is there anything else you would care to see here?"
11252Is this your office?"
11252Is ut you''re thinkin''I''ve got the horrors, as well as the polis?"
11252It seemed the only thing-- what else was there?
11252It was a bargain, was n''t it, that I should do your business if you would help me in mine?
11252It was your, niece, I think, who found that Mrs. Armitage''s door was locked-- this door, in fact-- on the day she lost her brooch?"
11252Likely to give them trouble, show fight, and make a disturbance?"
11252Lloyd''s?"
11252Look here-- suppose Steggles goes and keeps his eye on the Cop for an hour or two, in case there''s anything to be heard of?
11252May I see you in your own room?"
11252Mr. Cutler, do you remember when the trap- door was last opened?"
11252Mr. Worsfold, for instance?"
11252No one come to live here now, eh?
11252Nobody ever beat Cortis-- except-- let me see-- I think somebody beat Cortis once-- who was it now?
11252Now tell me, did anybody know where these plans were, beyond yourself and your two men?"
11252Now, do you see the drift of that paper pinned to Rameau''s breast?"
11252Now, let me see: Mr. Wollett''s rooms, you say, are near Mr. Claridge''s place of business?
11252Now, to begin with, is anybody suspected?"
11252Now, who writes''hate''with the emphasis of underscoring-- who but a woman?
11252Now, why should Mirsky communicate with the Russian Embassy?
11252Now-- I am assuming that you wish me to undertake the recovery of these drawings?"
11252Of course there will be a female searcher at the Twyford police- station?
11252Of course you know all about the Padfield 135 Yards Handicap being run off now?"
11252One of the shops is in High Street, is n''t it?"
11252Perhaps, after all, looking for the one is the same thing as looking for the other?"
11252Presently Hewitt said:"How about our old pal down in Gold Street?
11252S''pose you''ve been following me all the time?"
11252See it; you read French, do n''t you?"
11252See the first piece, with its''mmy''?
11252Seen him lately?"
11252Shall we go outside now?"
11252Shall you see my men?"
11252Shall you take the case up, then?"
11252Strange blokes do n''t do that, eh?"
11252Surely_ now_ you know how I found out that another man had just left?"
11252Take ut aisy, is ut?''
11252Tell me-- how long would it take a good draughtsman to copy them?"
11252The Bertillon system of identification-- what is it but a summary of trivialities?
11252The lady bowed slightly, and said in a plaintive drawl:"I, uncle?
11252The ruby?
11252Then I take it you will go, Mr. Hewitt?
11252Then he looks at me onaisy for a little, an''at last he sez:''Wud ye loike a small job, me good man, well paid?''
11252Then he said to the clerk, who had remained:"What was he talking about?"
11252Then, after a pause, he added:"Who are you, then?"
11252Then, looking up at the window again, he said:"That is Mr. Lloyd, is n''t it, coming back in a fly?"
11252There seemed a possibility of some excitement in the adventure, so I asked:"Will you want any help?"
11252There''s one on my box, ai n''t there?''
11252These are all?"
11252Think he knows any thing o''this?"
11252Those are their coats, I take it, hanging just to the right of the outer office door, over the umbrella stand?"
11252Want to do anything yourself over it?"
11252Was anybody, to your knowledge--_anybody_, mind-- in the house on all three occasions?"
11252Was it an old bag?"
11252Was n''t it a championship?"
11252Was there any visitor here each time-- or even on the first and last occasions only?"
11252Well?"
11252Were they at all alike, or was either like anybody you have seen before?"
11252What claim had I on him?
11252What could I do?
11252What did he say?
11252What do you mean, sir, by treating me as a thief?
11252What do you think?
11252What else can I tell you?"
11252What is its name?"
11252What made you connect these two robberies together?"
11252What makes you ask?"
11252What more likely prison than an empty house?
11252What next?"
11252What next?"
11252What of that?"
11252What readier or more probably effectual way than, while teaching it to carry without dropping, to teach it also to keep quiet while carrying?
11252What reason would he have for doing this if it had been Goujon that had attacked him?
11252What rooms do they light?"
11252What sort of a lad is he?
11252What struck you first?"
11252What will you do?"
11252When the shops had been slowly passed, Hewitt resumed:"Now, did you see anything about those shops that told a tale of any sort?"
11252Where can I look?"
11252Where did you find''em?"
11252Where did you think it was?"
11252Where does it lead?"
11252Where is the match- stand?"
11252Where were you at these times?"
11252Where will you go?
11252Where?
11252Who do you think?
11252Who is the thief you speak of?"
11252Who says that?
11252Who would read the label and learn of the nature of the revenge gratified?
11252Who''s your friend?"
11252Who''s your pal?"
11252Why bother about the person if it is n''t the criminal?"
11252Why did I never think of those raindrops?"
11252Why did you travel first- class part of the way?"
11252Why should the murderer pin a label on the body of his victim if he meant carrying that body away?
11252Why should this man, almost a stranger, offer me £500, or even more,''if that would n''t satisfy''me?
11252Why should you wish to take all this trouble to lose five thousand pounds?
11252Why, then, had he gone away secretly and hurriedly, without making complaint, and why had he stayed away?
11252Wilks looked in Hewitt''s face and asked:"Is that straight?"
11252Will you just bring back a police- constable with you?
11252Will you trust me with the''key''of the private room opposite?
11252Will you?''
11252Would n''t it pay you better to get him back quietly, without a soul knowing-- perhaps not even Danby knowing-- till the heat is run to- morrow?"
11252Ye ondershtand?
11252You did n''t, I suppose?"
11252You do n''t happen to know him, I suppose?"
11252You have n''t told any of them about this business?"
11252You have that few yards of cord in your pocket, I think?
11252You hid it, of course, because you knew that Hollams would probably have you searched for it if he got suspicious?"
11252You know all the circumstances, of course?"
11252You see it now, of course?"
11252You wo n''t let the servants know, will you?
11252You would be able to point out the house if you were taken there, I suppose?"
11252You''ve come here to get a hint as to whether my theory of the case helps you, have n''t you?"
11252You-- you''re Rameau?"
11252Your niece, now?"
11252[ A] Only a quid?
11252[ C] Where''s your cady?
11252_ You_ formed any opinion, eh?"
11252eh?
11252is ut the fam''ly he talked av?"
2346And that ring went with him to London?
2346And your brother?
2346And your key never left your possession?
2346Anything else?
2346At what hour was the office closed on Monday?
2346But I suppose either Sir James, or you, or West has that technical knowledge?
2346But how?
2346But surely, Holmes, character goes for something? 2346 But the facts, Miss Westbury?"
2346But the three missing drawings are the most important?
2346But you have recovered them?
2346Cadogan West? 2346 Can you not make reparation?
2346Can you suggest any possible motive for taking the papers to London except to sell them?
2346Could it not have been dropped from a bridge?
2346Could we not get a warrant and legalize it?
2346Did he give you no address?
2346Did you close it?
2346Do you mean to say that anyone holding these three papers, and without the seven others, could construct a Bruce- Partington submarine?
2346Does he not explain?
2346For England, home and beauty-- eh, Watson? 2346 For long?"
2346Has the fact been verified?
2346Have the carriages been examined for any sign of violence?
2346Have you had something to eat? 2346 Have you seen Pierrot''s advertisement to- day?"
2346How could he be placed there?
2346How did he die?
2346How?
2346I presume they were of value?
2346I suppose there are no great number of points on a system such as this?
2346Is there no watchman to the building?
2346No record of a door being found open?
2346No signs of any mental excitement? 2346 Nothing of interest in the paper, Watson?"
2346Oh, that was it, was it?
2346Only Sir James Walter and you had those keys?
2346Perhaps you would care to step in, sir, and see his brother, Colonel Valentine?
2346Remarkable, is it not? 2346 Surely you have heard of it?
2346Was Sir James a man who was orderly in his habits?
2346Was he in any want of money?
2346Was it only recently that he made such remarks?
2346What can we hope to do?
2346What do you think of it, Watson?
2346What happened, then?
2346What is it, Mr. Holmes? 2346 What is the next step?"
2346What is this?
2346What of it? 2346 What reparation can I make?"
2346What''s this, Watson? 2346 What?
2346When?
2346Where is Oberstein with the papers?
2346Where were the plans?
2346Who is he?
2346Who locked up the plans that night?
2346Who was the other man with a key?
2346Why do you not solve it yourself, Mycroft? 2346 Why had he no ticket?"
2346Why not? 2346 Why not?"
2346Without a word?
2346You are sure of his guilt, then?
2346You can not throw any new light upon the affair?
2346And you, Lestrade, could you favour us with your company for an hour or two?
2346Another one?"
2346But what do you think of it, Mycroft?"
2346But what use will you make of it?"
2346By the way, do you know what Mycroft is?"
2346Could it have been an official superior who took the papers?
2346Eh?
2346Have you a clue?"
2346Have you heard of the death of the chief?"
2346Have you read up the case?"
2346Have you the tools?"
2346Holmes?"
2346I understand that there was no sign of robbery?"
2346If the latter, may it be taken as some sign of self- reproach for duty neglected?
2346In the first place, why did he take them?"
2346Is it a coincidence that it is found at the very point where the train pitches and sways as it comes round on the points?
2346Is not that the place where an object upon the roof might be expected to fall off?
2346Is that not so?"
2346Now, suppose that a train halted under such a window, would there be any difficulty in laying a body upon the roof?"
2346Or did he drop it in the carriage?
2346That seems final, does it not?"
2346That would account for everything, would it not?"
2346Then, again, where is the price of his treason?
2346Then, again, why should he leave the girl in the street and dart away to commit a felony?"
2346Unique, perfectly unique, and yet why not?
2346Was it taken from him in order to conceal the station from which he came?
2346What do you mean?"
2346What had become of the other three?
2346What in the world can he have to do with it?
2346What is the use of our speculating in this way when the original plans were actually found on West?"
2346What is there for us to do?"
2346What next?"
2346What on earth can it mean?
2346What upheaval can possibly have derailed him?"
2346What were the technical papers?"
2346What''s this?
2346Who is Cadogan West, and what is he to Mycroft?"
2346Why did Cadogan West take the papers, where are the missing ones, how did he die, how came his body where it was found, how can the evil be set right?
2346Why did he not do so?
2346Would it be possible for me to inspect the train which contained the passenger who heard the thud of a fall in the fog?"
2346what is this?
21824''But who did go into that room?'' 21824 ''Has the letter been taken?''
21824''What do you mean?'' 21824 Am I a man?"
21824And Mrs. Couldock and Miss Dawes?
21824And Mrs. Walworth? 21824 And do you mean to say that you had not touched it since I prepared it?"
21824And now,he asked,"who is the man?"
21824And that no one else has been in the room?
21824And the man who stood guardian over you and entertained you with wine and cigars, was not he a German too?
21824And what is it that awaits him?
21824And who are you?
21824And who is the fortunate lady?
21824Are you not coming?
21824Are you punishing me? 21824 At what time does this steamer start?"
21824But have I not already promised?
21824But what is the use of plaguing myself with riddles?
21824But,I exclaimed, aghast,"if you love him so and despise the Colonel, why do you not break your troth with the latter?"
21824Can you assure me that you have not been asleep during this time?
21824Can you make him speak?
21824Deal punishment?
21824Did Mr. Taylor say I was there?
21824Did you hand the glass yourself to Addie?
21824Do the heavens bid me?
21824Does she know he is going? 21824 Have you never had a conviction yourself as to which of the three ladies you saw go into the parlor took the letter I left hid in the Bible?"
21824Have you the letter?
21824Her folly? 21824 I am a servant in the house where she was taken ill.""Then she is not at home?"
21824I betray you?
21824I know it,was his half- muttered retort,"but what can you expect?
21824Is Mrs. Warner here?
21824Is it he?
21824Must you know all that goes on in my mind, and can not I keep one secret to myself?
21824No banisters, sweet Juliet? 21824 Not for the purpose of rearranging a veil that had been blown off?"
21824Oh,cried Juliet, as the door closed behind them,"can he mean it?
21824Poison myself?
21824She had her voice then?
21824The third person?
21824Was the man who came for you a German?
21824What do you mean by keeping me in this place against my will? 21824 What do you mean by that word?"
21824What do you mean?
21824What has the Colonel to do with me?
21824What is it?
21824What makes you think that?
21824What man?
21824Where did you take it from?
21824Who is there of worth in town?
21824Who knows,he suggested,"that it was Orrin''s hand which handled the saw?"
21824Whose step is that?
21824Why, Dick,he exclaimed,"are n''t you going after all?
21824Why?
21824Why?
21824Will the Colonel go with you?
21824Will you come?
21824Will you not step out, Mistress Juliet?
21824Will you not take a cigar?
21824You believe,said he,"that she, the woman I am about to marry, is the one who wrote you that infamous letter?"
21824You do not drink wine?
21824You do not mean yourself?
21824You know her, of course?
21824You remember now?
21824You think she got some one to write it for her?
21824Your worship?
21824***** Am I always with Orrin when he is not at work or asleep?
21824***** And what if it is?
21824***** Have I lost Dora?
21824***** What is there about the Colonel that daunts me?
21824***** What was it that I said about this record being at an end?
21824***** Where does the Colonel go evenings?
21824***** Where have I been?
21824***** Where is Orrin, and what is he doing that he stays so much from home?
21824***** Will Juliet be at home to- day?
21824And the Colonel?
21824And this dining- parlor-- Can you judge of it with the floor half laid and its wainscoting unnailed?
21824And what had produced this change in my plans?
21824And where did we finally lay her?
21824And yet, if she did not take away that letter, who did?
21824Are you not then the man?"
21824But can you leave your patients?"
21824But he stopped and gave me a keen look, and speaking my name, said:"You are married, are you not?"
21824But how to make known my wishes even if there was any one to listen to them?
21824But perhaps it was to mock us?
21824But perhaps you smoke?"
21824But they would have me talk, and finally in some desperation I turned to him and said, quietly:"The scaffolding broke beneath them, did it not?"
21824But was he as complacent to Orrin?
21824Can a woman be too pretty for her own happiness, and are many lovers a weariness to the heart?
21824Can he mean it?"
21824Coming away from the house instead of going to it?
21824Dayton?"
21824Dear girl, she is quite well, I hope?"
21824Did he follow behind us?
21824Did he intend to give up his betrothed to the man whom she loved, and even to plead her cause with the father she feared?
21824Did he simply want to detain me, and if so, did he have a motive it would pay me to fathom before I exerted myself further to insure my release?
21824Did she do this to mock us or him?
21824Did she encourage him?"
21824Did you see him murder her?
21824Did you suppose he would allow us the satisfaction of going alone?
21824Do I understand her, or do I understand Orrin, or do I even understand myself?
21824Do the trees come too near the lattice?
21824Do you admire this sweep to the stairs?
21824Do you like this fireplace, and will there be space enough here for the portrait which Lawrence has promised to make of young Madam Day?
21824Do you think I will see him steal her heart away from before my eyes?"
21824Does Juliet care for Colonel Schuyler?
21824Does Orrin know this?
21824Does he realize, too, that I am any more to her than her other cast- off lovers and would- be friends?
21824Going straight up to him, I said:"Well, Orrin, what''s this?
21824Had I expected to?
21824Had she touched me?
21824Had the carriage then taken away the two persons I had seen in this house, and was I indeed alone in its great emptiness?
21824Have some whispers of his secret love and evident intentions reached the ear of the Colonel?
21824Have you a home for your bride in which I may look forward to paying her the respects which my humble duty to her demands?"
21824Have you no mercy on a man who never did you wrong, and only asks to quit you and forget the precious hour you have made him lose?"
21824He fascinates me, and could make me do most anything he pleased, but have I a real affection for him?
21824He must be mad; nothing else but mania could account for such words and such actions; and yet, if mad, why was he allowed to enter my presence?
21824Her father is set on her being the mistress of the new stone house and we three will have to reason with him, do you see?"
21824How did he know my name?
21824How was that matter to be elucidated, and how was my patient to be saved?
21824I cried,"do you want me to go to her house for you, or do you want me to stay away?"
21824I had already called in vain, and there was no bell-- yes, there was; why had I not seen it before?
21824I say_ man_, but do I not mean_ woman_?
21824I wonder if the Colonel knows that Orrin too has been building himself a house?
21824If Mr. Adams is not to blame for this attempted escapade, who is?
21824In return, will you tell me if there is any one in the world whom you can call your enemy?
21824Instantly the Colonel took advantage of the break and spoke to Orrin:"And so it is to you, sir, that I have to address the few words I have to say?"
21824Is he indifferent then?
21824Is not that pleasant?
21824Is she not happy in her betrothal, or are her fears of Orrin greater than her confidence in me?
21824Is that why I am here?"
21824Is the curiosity of my youth coming back to me?
21824Is this a healthy occupation for a man, especially a man with a history?
21824It must have been five minutes before either of us spoke; then he suddenly cried:"Where is that detective, as you call him?
21824It was merry laughter, and there was no ring of falsehood in it, but why should she laugh at all?"
21824It would be a fitting end to this comedy if he were to dance in_ that_?"
21824Look up at the house; what do you see there?"
21824May I ask if you can do as much for her?
21824Miss Dawes?
21824Mrs. Couldock?
21824Mrs. Walworth?
21824Must I then forever blame myself, or did I only do in this matter what any honest man would have done in my place?
21824Now Mrs. Walworth does that, and--""You have seen her?
21824O woman, woman, what are you made of?
21824Or is Juliet''s father alone concerned?
21824Orrin was right, she never will; but who could have thought of a tragedy like this?
21824Otherwise how can I go away?
21824Otherwise--""She will get well?"
21824Ought I to say:"Your sullenness is uncalled for and your fierceness misplaced; Juliet is constant, and the Colonel means you nothing but good"?
21824Ought I to tell him this?
21824Poor, poor Juliet, are you making enemies against your bridal day?
21824SHALL HE WED HER?
21824Scared off by a frown?
21824Should I let such an interference as I had received go unpunished?
21824Should I permit him to go thus disordered, or should I detain him long enough to fit him for the eye of the dainty Juliet?
21824Still, am I not her sworn friend, and if she thinks she can be happy with him, ought I not to do my share towards making her so?
21824THE OLD STONE HOUSE A MEMORABLE NIGHT THE BLACK CROSS A MYSTERIOUS CASE SHALL HE WED HER?
21824That she would never be mistress of that house?
21824The fact is, Dick, she still holds a soft place in her heart for you, and if you were going to be of the party--""Well?"
21824The steamer sails at nine?"
21824Then with a deep and thrilling intensity which I feel yet, he repeated,"His name, his name?
21824This was a question I could not answer; who could?
21824Up- stairs?
21824Walworth?"
21824Walworth?"
21824Was I the victim of a conspiracy, or was the man mad?
21824Was I then not alone in the deserted building?
21824Was any one more wretched than I that morning and could any one nourish a more bitter grievance?
21824Was he alone?
21824Was he so great- hearted as this?
21824Was it a mere foolish freak which had assailed me, or was I under some uncanny influence, caught from the place where I had been visiting?
21824Was it fancy that made her look like a wraith, and he like some handsome demon given to haunting churchyards?
21824Was there a crime enacted before your eyes?"
21824Was there some solitary being who laid claim to its desolation and betrayed jealousy at any intrusion within its mysterious precincts?
21824What did I see?
21824What did Orrin tell me?
21824What did it mean?
21824What did it mean?
21824What do you want me to do?"
21824What ever shall I do with him and his everlasting manuscript?
21824What have I seen, and what do the events of this night portend?
21824What should I do, and with what weapons should I combat a danger at once so subtle and so deadly?
21824What was it?
21824When I came away I felt that I had gained nothing, and lost-- what?
21824Where is the Colonel, and why does he not come home and look after his own?
21824Where then?
21824Where''s your pluck, lad?
21824Who had done it?
21824Who had started the blaze which had in one half- hour undone the work and hope of months?
21824Who should tell her father?
21824Why choose me out then for-- your society?
21824Why did I not go home?
21824Why do n''t they come?
21824Why do you ask?"
21824Why have you entrapped me into this place?"
21824Why not choose some one who can-- talk?"
21824Why?
21824Will Juliet never be the mistress of that house?
21824Will he come down from his high estate at the beck of this village beauty?
21824Will it be a monument that he will love to gaze upon?
21824Will it be in the new stone house?
21824Will she turn her back upon the Colonel''s lofty structure and take refuge in this cottage remote from the world?
21824Will they be increased or diminished by the talk he has promised me?
21824Will you bring this fellow-- he is your friend is he not?--to Juliet''s house in the morning?
21824Will you call at Juliet''s house and see if she is free to go and come as she was a week ago?"
21824Will you not ask her the same question?"
21824Will you raise me a tomb if the Colonel runs me through with his sword?"
21824Will you sit down?
21824You can not cling to both without dishonor; does not your father tell you so?"
21824You do not like such humble flowers?
21824You do not wish to go up- stairs?
21824You remember being in---- Hotel one morning last month?"
21824You will wait, will you not, sir, till I have a little more leisure?"
21824You wo n''t object, will you?"
21824did she call him Orrin?
21824he asked,"or,"with a fall in his voice brimmed with feeling,"am I a fool?
21824she cried,"when you promise me that I shall get well?
21824she exclaimed;"and has he been bringing you that?
21824she whispered; and in a lower tone still,"What woman?"
21824thought I,"can such a face hide a selfish and intriguing heart?"
170At your age, catching cold does n''t surely mean catching your death?
170I am afraid the heat of the room is too much for you; will you try my smelling bottle?
170Is there no such thing as a serious illness,she asks,"corked up in one of those bottles of yours in the vaults downstairs?"
170Then what prevents you from experiencing the same sense of relief that I feel?'' 170 What does this insolence mean?"
170Where is the true woman,she exclaims,"who wants time to consummate the sacrifice of herself, when the man to whom she is devoted demands it?
170''A stranger?''
170''After what I have told you, do you really wish to sleep in that room to- morrow night?''
170''Agnes,''he said,''are you beginning to understand how truly I love you?''
170''Am I right in supposing you to be Mr. Francis Westwick?''
170''And do you believe it on such evidence as this?''
170''And his master?''
170''And they will never return to England, eh?''
170''And what did you say?''
170''And you pay, if it''s a good one?''
170''Are you aware, Miss,''she began,''that I left my place in consequence of what I observed--?''
170''Are you burning letters?''
170''Are you composed enough to see her, after the shock that you have suffered?''
170''Are you deaf?''
170''Are you going to call on Miss Agnes too?''
170''Are you going to sleep in the room to- night?''
170''Are you in love with Miss Haldane already?''
170''Are you leaving the hotel?''
170''Are you not afraid?''
170''Are you positively sure she will be at the hotel?''
170''Are you really going?''
170''Are you really not aware of the smell there is in the room?''
170''Are you really obliged to go back?''
170''Are you sure of what you are saying?''
170''Baron Rivar?''
170''But surely discretion has its limits,''he added,''after such a discovery as we have made?''
170''By previous appointment?''
170''Can I be of any use to you before I go to bed?''
170''Can I never make you think of other days than those-- of the happier days to come?
170''Can the courier have come to me through that woman?''
170''Can you read Italian?''
170''Can you really tell me nothing which will throw any light on this matter?''
170''Can you tell me why?''
170''Can you tell me your object in going out?''
170''Cold and faint, Countess, on such a night as this?''
170''Danieli''s?''
170''Did she say nothing about what she saw or heard, on that dreadful night in my room?''
170''Did you go to the church?''
170''Did you permit Ferrari,''she resumed,''to make sure of being chosen for our courier by using your name?''
170''Do n''t you see that it has left its mark on me for life?''
170''Do you agree with me that the one dreadful doubt which oppressed us both is at least set at rest?''
170''Do you defend the Countess, of all the people in the world?''
170''Do you hear that?''
170''Do you know that I have anticipated your idea?''
170''Do you mean to say that the candle does n''t burn the moth, when the moth flies into it?''
170''Do you really believe that the mutilated remains which you discovered this morning are the remains of our brother?''
170''Do you think it would help you, Miss, if you read my husband''s letters to me?
170''Do you think the chimney- piece is as solid as it looks?''
170''Do you understand her?''
170''Do you want money?''
170''Do you wish me to leave the hotel?''
170''Do you wish me to leave you?''
170''Do you wish to see her?''
170''Does she like that?''
170''Force you to it?''
170''Go to the church?''
170''Has the time come already?''
170''Has this obstinate lady given you her name?''
170''Have I been so unhappy as to offend you?''
170''Have I distressed you?''
170''Have you any news of him?
170''Have you any questions to ask?''
170''Have you anything to tell me, Henry?''
170''Have you ever heard of such a thing as the fascination of terror?
170''Have you just returned?''
170''Have you read it all, Henry?''
170''Have you read it?''
170''Have you seen her this morning?''
170''Have you taken it for long?''
170''Have you thought of any better way of arriving at the truth?''
170''Have you thought of what I said to you earlier in the day?''
170''His letters?''
170''How can I do that?
170''How can I help you?''
170''How can you ask?''
170''How dare you come here?
170''How did Ferrari get on with Lord Montbarry?''
170''How does Lucy do that?''
170''How have I destroyed your hopes?''
170''How much shall I get?''
170''How shall I know?
170''How the devil did you know that Miss Lockwood was coming to Venice?''
170''I have not lowered myself in your estimation, Agnes?''
170''I look more than half dead already, do n''t I?''
170''I suppose, Agnes, you do n''t mind sleeping here by yourself.?''
170''I thought your husband had an engagement to take some ladies to Switzerland and Italy?''
170''I wonder who reminded my lord of the old servants?''
170''If I write the play, will you read it?''
170''If what?''
170''If you want my interest with any friend of mine,''she said,''why ca n''t you tell me the name?''
170''In what particular?''
170''Is Lady Montbarry here by your invitation?''
170''Is Miss Lockwood at home?''
170''Is Mr. Henry Westwick alone?''
170''Is he going to take that horrid woman with him to Ireland?''
170''Is it a woman?''
170''Is it not prettily decorated?''
170''Is it quite reasonable to be so angry with her, because your brother preferred her to me?''
170''Is it so nasty as that?''
170''Is it so terrible as that?''
170''Is it still about your husband?''
170''Is it such a very difficult favour to grant?
170''Is it true,''she asked, after a long silence,''that they have been married to- day?''
170''Is she likely to die?''
170''Is that all?''
170''Is the carriage at the door?''
170''Is the subject painful to you?''
170''Is the tie that once bound us completely broken?
170''Is there anything I can do for you?''
170''Is there anything in the world that I can do for you?''
170''Is your old nurse in the house?''
170''It is quite understood between us, I suppose, about the play?''
170''Like his lordship''s kindness?''
170''Maraschino punch-- will you taste some of it?''
170''May I ask who made that settlement a condition of the marriage?''
170''Might I ask you, sir, to give me my gloves?''
170''My good Westwick,''the Frenchman resumed, in his own language,''the conclusion is surely plain?
170''My good lady, you do n''t really believe that your husband is dead?''
170''No possible doubt?''
170''No?''
170''Now I am your wife, may I speak to you about something?''
170''Oh, a feeling?''
170''On her own authority?''
170''Perhaps Miss Lockwood is not going there with the rest of you?''
170''Perhaps you have not been informed of what happened after you left Venice?''
170''Perhaps, your ladyship may be the person?''
170''Perhaps,''he reflected,''my temperament is more imaginative than I supposed it to be-- and this is a trick played on me by my own fancy?
170''Right?''
170''Shall I try the experiment,''he asked,''or will you?''
170''She remembered me, of course?''
170''She?''
170''Shot in a gambling- saloon?''
170''So you have come to Venice?''
170''Suppose I inform myself,''she thought,''on the subject of Venice?''
170''Suppose I tell you?''
170''Suppose he has altered his plans, since dinner- time?''
170''Suppose we say that an impulse has directed my journey?
170''Suppose you ask him?''
170''Suppose you try, Miss, how it looks in writing?''
170''Sure of it, after what you have just heard?''
170''Surely it was not the Countess herself?.''
170''Surely,''he said,''you are not foolish enough to take what I have been telling you seriously?''
170''That satisfied them, of course?''
170''The Countess( speaking with quiet dignity-- for why should her infamous husband have the satisfaction of knowing how deeply he has wounded her?)
170''The Palace Hotel?''
170''Then you are only insolent?
170''Then you told her what you found when you opened the hiding- place?''
170''Three or four pounds a year?
170''To whom?''
170''Was it with your knowledge and permission that Ferrari used your name?''
170''Was she too crazy to remember that these things really happened?''
170''Was there anything in her expression, when you first looked at her, that took you by surprise?''
170''Was there anything remarkable in the lady''s personal appearance?''
170''Was this expected, sir?''
170''Well, Emily, what can I do for you?''
170''Well, Henry, and why are you going away?''
170''Well, but where is he going?''
170''Well?''
170''Well?''
170''What did he discover?''
170''What did he do?''
170''What did your visitors from the insurance offices think of it?''
170''What do you mean?''
170''What do you think of it, Miss?''
170''What do you want of me?''
170''What do you want with me?''
170''What does all this matter to me?''
170''What does she mean by boasting of this as her own invention?''
170''What end?''
170''What has Miss Lockwood to do with it?''
170''What has come to me?''
170''What has put writing a play into your head?''
170''What has that to do with your new play, Countess?''
170''What in the world is the matter with you?''
170''What is it?''
170''What is it?''
170''What is that?''
170''What is the most probable explanation, in your opinion?''
170''What is there absurd in it?
170''What is there to alarm you, my dear, in this conventionally classical face?''
170''What prevents you from doing that?''
170''What should I have done in the troubles that have come to me, without your sympathy?
170''What was she doing?''
170''What will you have?''
170''What woman?''
170''What would you advise me to do?''
170''What''s this?''
170''When is Miss Agnes Lockwood expected to be in Venice?''
170''When is Miss Lockwood expected to be in Venice?''
170''When shall I see you again?''
170''Which way, ma''am?''
170''Who can tell?
170''Who is she?''
170''Who is to help us?
170''Who sent you the letter?''
170''Why ca n''t his father and mother go and see him at Lord Montbarry''s?''
170''Why could n''t you help it?''
170''Why could n''t you say so at once?''
170''Why do I only hear this morning that the Countess and Mrs. James are one and the same person?''
170''Why do n''t you consult a doctor whose special employment is the treatment of the insane?''
170''Why do you ask me about the lost courier?''
170''Why do you come to me?''
170''Why do you remind me of what I have suffered?''
170''Why is the hotel called the"Palace Hotel"?''
170''Why not?
170''Why not?''
170''Why not?''
170''Why should I feel a foolish pride about myself in your presence?
170''Why was I not told of it last night?''
170''Why?
170''Why?''
170''Will his sister''s winnings( with my Lord''s money) prove large enough to help him?
170''Will the day never come,''he pleaded,''when the privilege of protecting you may be mine?
170''Wo n''t go?''
170''You are a good fellow, Henry,''he said;''but are you quite sure that you have not been needlessly distressing yourself?
170''You do n''t mean that you have seen her again?''
170''You do n''t mean the English maid who was with Lady Montbarry at Venice?''
170''You do n''t mean to say that nurse has got a legacy?''
170''You good innocent creature,''she said,''what does your amiable forgiveness matter?
170''You have heard of what I saw last night?''
170''You have rested as well as usual?''
170''You really believe that I am not deluded by a dream?''
170''You remember Emily Bidwell, my favourite pupil years ago at the village school, and afterwards my maid?
170''You see?''
17013 A,''to ask him in the presence of witnesses how he liked his bedchamber?
170About this money, Master Henry?
170Am I as entirely parted from the good and evil fortune of his life as if we had never met and never loved?
170Am I as entirely parted from the good and evil fortune of his life as if we had never met and never loved?''
170Am I right in believing that the sooner you get away from Venice the happier you will be?''
170And by whom?''
170And do you know where he is?''
170And what is the result?
170And will you tell me( if you have heard anything), in mercy to his wife?''
170And, our business being settled, dear Mr. Westwick, shall we get out of this hot room into the nice cool air again?''
170Are there no materials, here in my head, for writing a play-- if the opportunity is granted to me?''
170Are there no other women who serve as governesses, and who are the equals of the persons whom they serve?
170Are they for sale?''
170Are you aware that he is married?''
170Are you his wife?
170Are you ready to follow me back, through the crimes of the past, to the secrets of the dead?''
170Are you really going to stay here?
170Are you satisfied?''
170Are you well assured that the day of reckoning has come at last?
170As you seem so well informed, perhaps you know why she is coming to Venice?''
170Bear all these statements in mind, Agnes; and how can you deny that the question of Montbarry''s death and burial is a question set at rest?
170Because the man was unworthy of her, was he less the man of her choice?
170Before two?
170Besides my cigar, do you smell anything else-- vile, abominable, overpowering, indescribable, never- never- never- smelt before?''
170But how is he to pay the preliminary expenses?
170But is the tie that once bound us, completely broken?
170But you know how I am situated-- you heard what Lord Montbarry said at dinner- time?''
170But, in the present state of her mind, is her testimony to be trusted-- even if she were willing to speak?
170CHAPTER XII''Do you think she is mad?''
170CHAPTER XX''Shall I see you again?''
170Can such a woman as Agnes give her love or refuse it, according to circumstances?
170Could she leave her friend and benefactress helpless at Lady Montbarry''s mercy?
170Destiny, like a mocking echo, answers, How?
170Did the lady in the consulting- room suspect him?
170Did you notice anything, while you were at Venice, that would account for her husband''s extraordinary disappearance?
170Did you see her, Doctor?''
170Did you see how she looked at Montbarry, when she had to lift her veil at the beginning of the service?
170Do n''t you agree with me?''
170Do you mean to say my will is stronger than yours?''
170Do you mind my having her in here for a minute or two?''
170Do you think I do n''t know what it means for you and for me?
170Do you understand me a little better now?
170Do you want a new play?''
170Does he perceive in the composure of the Countess and her brother something lurking under the surface that threatens him?
170Dream or reality, how had Agnes survived the sight of it?
170Faithful to his duties, the servant waited to ask the customary question,''Do you dine at home to- day, sir?''
170Ferrari,''he said,''have you heard what Mr. Westwick has just told me?''
170For the last time, sir, what am I-- a demon who has seen the avenging angel?
170Had it been the influence of a dream?
170Had she left it in her bed- chamber in the hurry of changing her dress?
170Had she really been wrong?
170Had the woman left an infection of wickedness in the house, and had he caught it?
170Has your experience of last night not altered the opinion which you expressed to me yesterday?''
170Have I deserved that you should temper justice with mercy?''
170Have I not heard that your brother Stephen was the next heir to the title?
170Have I stated it fairly?''
170Have n''t I told you that Miss Lockwood travels with Lord and Lady Montbarry?
170Have the supernatural influences affected your appetite again?''
170Have you decided on a subject already?
170Have you had any letters this morning?
170Have you heard when she is coming?''
170Have you really courage enough, Mrs. Ferrari, to carry out this notable scheme of yours?
170He asked himself,''In whose likeness might I have recognised it before the decay set in?
170He called out,''Who is there?''
170He whispered faintly,''Are you sure?''
170How am I interested in it?
170How can you talk such nonsense?''
170How could he resist that appeal?
170How did he know that the plan had been put in execution?
170How did you get in?
170How do you suppose the criminal feels on the scaffold, while the hangman is putting the rope around his neck?
170How does your husband behave to you?''
170How is it that your name is not on the Visitors''List?
170How?
170I feel sure that I can trust your discretion, sir, so far?''
170I know I ca n''t identify it-- and yet I ask myself over and over again, in whose likeness did it appear?
170I wonder how it will end?''
170I wonder if I should shake your sublime confidence in yourself, if I suggested the most ticklish subject to handle which is known to the stage?
170I wonder if you have quite forgotten my big black eyes and my hideous complexion?''
170I wonder who you are?
170If I and my brother and sister have seen nothing, how should Agnes Lockwood discover what was not revealed to us?
170In case of accidents, he is surely bound to do something for his bride?
170In what part of the palace is he to be hidden?
170Is it business?
170Is it far from here?''
170Is it possible that the Baron is in earnest?
170Is that all?
170Is that true?''
170Is there anything I can do to help you?''
170Is there anything more that I can do?
170Is there no explanation of the mystery of The Haunted Hotel?
170It almost takes you off your guard, does n''t it?
170Judging by my first act, Mr. Westwick, tell me truly, and do n''t be afraid of turning my head:-- Am I not capable of writing a good play?''
170May I ask for what purpose?''
170May I ask, Mr. Westwick, how you find yourself in the hotel, this time?
170May I hope that you will do us the great favour to say nothing about what has happened upstairs?
170May I inquire to whom I have the honour of speaking?''
170My little loves, do you sniff a nasty smell here-- ha?''
170No?
170On the other hand, if the Courier dies, how is the sequestrated and unknown nobleman to be put out of the way?
170On what sort of terms, for instance, did he live with his master and mistress?''
170Once again, will you read it?''
170Or had she fainted?
170Or was the march of events taking her unexpectedly, too, on the journey to Venice?
170Or, if you must think of the time that is passed, can you not look back to the time when I first loved you?''
170Or, perhaps, my friend is right; something is physically amiss with me?
170Passively, by letting him starve in his prison?
170Perhaps you meant number 13 A, on the first floor?
170Perhaps, I had better go home after what has happened?
170Rather an unexpected death, was n''t it?
170Rolland?''
170Sad nonsense, Mr. Westwick, is it not?
170Shall I feel some other influence than hers?
170Shall they drop their prisoner into the canal?
170Shall they set his bed on fire?
170She looked up from her writing with a passing flash of curiosity, and said,"What are they going to do with it?"
170Suppose I write and ask my lawyer( who is also my friend and trustee) to come and advise us to- morrow after his business hours?''
170Suppose you ask Arthur?''
170Surely it was time for her to follow the general example?
170The active policy remains-- say, assassination by the knife of a hired bravo?
170The cheapest poison will do.--Is it possible, Henry, that you believe this consultation really took place?''
170The likeness of Ferrari?
170The one thing I want to know is, does the law permit it?''
170The woman looked at the Countess and whispered back,''Shall we send for a doctor, sir?''
170Was everybody in bed and asleep but herself?
170Was he married by any chance?
170Was it in the likeness of Ferrari?
170Was it the manager who had knocked?
170Was she ill?
170Was she in the agony of a dream?
170Was she really sleeping?
170Was that a good sign?
170Was that enclosure in any way connected, as a result, with the conversation between the Baron and Ferrari?
170Was the consul''s testimony doubtful in any part of it?
170Was the gentleman then in the hotel?
170Was the monstrous plot, revealed in the lines which he had just read, the offspring of the Countess''s morbid imagination?
170Was the new patient only a hypochondriacal woman, whose malady was a disordered stomach and whose misfortune was a weak brain?
170Was the woman of the mysterious warnings and the wild black eyes still thousands of miles away in America?
170Was this the rare case that he had anticipated, judging rashly by appearances?
170What are the conspirators to do, if the man does recover?
170What are your poor little wrongs, in the reckoning for greater wrongs which is demanded of me?
170What are your wishes, gentlemen?
170What could I answer?
170What could the offices do but pay?
170What danger of discovery have they to dread?
170What devil had possessed him to degrade himself in the eyes of his own servant?
170What do you say, Countess, to entering the lists with Shakespeare, and trying a drama with a ghost in it?
170What do you think, Henry?
170What does he do?
170What good purpose could be served, what relief could he anticipate, if he read more?
170What had she seen?
170What happens in the morning?
170What has he been doing out of his bed?
170What impression had he produced?
170What is he afraid of?--a possible examination of the body after death?
170What is it that you expected me to do?''
170What is the plain alternative before them?
170What might be the consequence if he trusted her with the terrible truth?
170What shall I do with my legacy when I have got it?''
170What time is she coming to- morrow?
170What was he to say to her?
170What will the insurance offices do?''
170What would you do for a thousand pounds?"
170When did you meet with such an unreasonable woman before?
170When his lordship wrote it?
170When she sees him, shall I see him too?''
170Where are the obstacles?
170Where does she live?
170Who can say she has a mercenary motive in marrying him?''
170Who is it-- eh?
170Why do n''t I resist them?
170Why do you ask?''
170Why should n''t she be Lord Montbarry''s wife?
170Why should we not do her justice?
170Why should we not meet again?
170Why should you take the room?
170Will he force me to it?
170Will he not be the new lord?
170Will she say plainly what this perfectly easy thing is, the doing of which will meet with such a magnificent reward?
170Will some one tell me?''
170Will you leave the room with me?
170Will you make the attempt, to satisfy your own mind?
170Will you read the Third Act?
170With her heart in the tomb of the dead Montbarry, could Agnes even think of another man, and think of love?
170Without alarming the ladies by telling them what I have just told you, can you not warn Agnes to be careful in securing her door?''
170Wo n''t you tell me whether she made any confession to you?''
170Would Madame, therefore, be good enough to follow Miladi''s maid up the stairs?''
170Would it be well to reserve the room for the special occupation of Mr. Francis?
170Would it be well( she asked herself) to get ready for bed?
170Would you like to see her?''
170You leave the question of what is to be done with these pages of writing to me, as the head of the family?''
170You remember how strangely she talked of your influence over her, when she forced her way into your room in London?''
170and do n''t you know that she is a member of the family?
170and what can I do for you in her ladyship''s place?"
170and why did he state the bare fact, without adding a word of explanation?
170do you think I want to be told what you saw?
170he exclaimed,''what does this mean?''
170how?''
170is it possible?''
170or did Thomas''s shoes creak, and was her sense of hearing unusually keen?
170or do you not object to keep watch here, and help me when I return?''
170or only a poor mad woman, misled by the delusion of a deranged mind?''
170or pleasure?''
170or the likeness of--?''
170or was it--?''
170or was she spiritually conscious of something hidden in the room?
170said his friend,''you think the widow will get the money?
170she exclaimed, blushing brightly,''you have not given up your pleasant holiday in Italy on my account?''
170the nurse repeated in amazement--''she offend me?
170what does this mean?''
170what it contained?
170when you will be the pride and joy of my life, as long as my life lasts?''
170why he kept it a secret from Lady Montbarry( and from the Baron also); and why he should write at all to the wife of his courier?
170why should I have any secrets from you?
15965A blunder?
15965A woman?
15965Ai n''t you satisfied? 15965 All?"
15965Am I? 15965 And gave in?"
15965And he left no message for me-- no letter?
15965And if he refuses?
15965And is he there still?
15965And spoke badly of me?
15965And the total sum? 15965 And there are others?"
15965And they are in a safe place?
15965And they will accommodate me?
15965And why not to- night?
15965And you never long for a wider life?
15965And you will have nothing more to do with Flora and her kind?
15965And you wo n''t forget what you promised-- that I should n''t get into trouble?
15965And you would marry me, knowing that I do not care for you in that way?
15965And your father was Ralph Vernon Clare?
15965Are you aware,replied Sir Lucius,"that on the night after your mother''s death her house in Bayswater was broken into by a burglar?"
15965Are you dead to all shame, that you dare to make yourself known to me?
15965Are you going up to town, Jimmie?
15965Are you mad?
15965Are you satisfied with your devil''s work?
15965Are you sure of what you are saying, young man?
15965Are you sure you have told me everything?
15965Are you telling the truth? 15965 Arrested?"
15965Been out of town this summer?
15965Beg pardon, sir,he said humbly,"but ai n''t you Mr. Victor Nevill?"
15965But how did you learn my name, and what do you want with me?
15965But where and how? 15965 But why would she write to me?"
15965But you have been working?
15965By Jove, was that the man?
15965By the by, Alphonse, you were living in a big house in the Parc Monceaux half a dozen years ago?
15965Can I be of any assistance, Nevill? 15965 Can I do anything for you?"
15965Can I send them for you?
15965Certain? 15965 Circumstances seem to point that way, Mr. Vernon, do they not?
15965Did n''t one of the voices sound familiar to you?
15965Did she see you yesterday?
15965Did the police search here?
15965Did you expect me to obey him?
15965Did you know that the picture was insured?
15965Do I address Monsieur Vernon, the artist?
15965Do I understand that you love my daughter?--that you wish to marry her?
15965Do n''t you know me, missus?
15965Do n''t you know-- can''t you guess-- why I brought you here?
15965Do you believe that he was concerned in both robberies?
15965Do you care so much for me?
15965Do you consider yourself a suitable husband for her?
15965Do you hear that?
15965Do you know who he was?
15965Do you know who she is?
15965Do you remember a gentleman by the name of Marchand-- M. Felix Marchand?
15965Do you remember in the Jew''s den,he said abruptly,"my calling your attention to the men talking in the back office?"
15965Do you suppose I would tell him?
15965Do you suppose I''m going to give that away here in the street? 15965 Do you want to bring the police down on us?"
15965Does he want to marry you to any one else?
15965Does she think I am a fool, to be taken in so easily?
15965Economy? 15965 Formerly Monsieur John Clare?"
15965Give her up?
15965Gone-- gone back to Amsterdam?
15965Has monsieur lost something?
15965Have I spoken too soon? 15965 Have I surprised you, Madge?"
15965Have a cigar?
15965Have you been dreaming?
15965Have you dined?
15965Have you done anything?
15965Have you no welcome for me?
15965Have you succeeded?
15965His attentions?
15965How about your eldest brother-- Lord Charters?
15965How can I do that? 15965 How can I?
15965How dare you come here? 15965 How dared you come?"
15965How dared you? 15965 How did the letter come into your possession?
15965How did these papers come into your hands? 15965 How did you find me to- night?"
15965How did you know I was coming?
15965How do you know that? 15965 How will you explain the deception-- the fact that you have been coming here under a false name?"
15965I say, old man, what''s gone wrong?
15965I shall see you here sometimes?
15965I suppose I could get a divorce?
15965If you are good enough to be her father, am I not worthy to be her husband?
15965Ill see you to- morrow?
15965Is he still relentless, Madge?
15965Is it all right?
15965Is it likely that he will consent to let you marry a poor artist? 15965 Is it my fault, Diane?
15965Is my daughter here?
15965Is my old room to let?
15965Is she your wife?
15965Is there any clew yet?
15965Is there anything of the sort between him and that young chap who comes to the house?
15965Is this a jest, or are you serious?
15965Is this your last word?
15965It was not easy, but I persevered--"Why?
15965It''s a queer business, is n''t it? 15965 It''s been empty a week, but what''s that to you?
15965It''s rather dull,he said;"eh, old chap?"
15965Jack, do you really, really love me?
15965Jack, tell me-- is it true?
15965Lamb and Drummond looking for me? 15965 Luggage, sir?"
15965Madge, what do you mean? 15965 May I ask why?"
15965May I offer you some refreshment?
15965Might it be John Vernon?
15965Monsieur has nothing?
15965My Dear Jackhe wrote,"will you dine with me at the Roebuck to- morrow night?
15965Need you ask? 15965 Need you ask?
15965Nevill, what are you driving at?
15965No less than that?
15965No; what''s in them?
15965Not your fault? 15965 Of course this is only a copy?"
15965Of course you will forbid her to have anything more to do with Vernon, and will see that your wishes are enforced?
15965Oh, Jack, why did you come? 15965 Oh, Mr. Vernon,''ave you''eard?"
15965Oh, how can I tell you, Miss Foster? 15965 Or is it too early for a stimulant?"
15965Prevent it?
15965Really? 15965 Seen the evening editions yet?"
15965She still defies you?
15965She wants money, then?
15965So soon?
15965Sorry? 15965 Suppose I refuse?"
15965Sure there ai n''t nobody within earshot?
15965Sure you feel fit enough?
15965Surely, Victor, I have heard you mention that name?
15965Tell me, Jimmie,he cried,"is it all a dream, or is it true?"
15965Then what do you want?
15965Then you do not forbid me to come again?
15965Then you know her by that name?
15965Then you mean to say that this is the duplicate?
15965Then you will be my wife, Madge?
15965Then, if you had this Rembrandt locked up in your safe, you would regard it as a sound and sure investment, to be realized on in the future?
15965They did n''t discover any papers?
15965They examined his person?--his clothes, I mean?
15965To speak with brutal frankness, Mr. Timmins, what is your price?
15965Upset? 15965 Wait a bit, will you?"
15965Was that entirely my fault? 15965 Was there a stranger here at any time during the last two weeks?"
15965We are down to our last twenty- franc piece, but in another fortnight--"Then you wo n''t take me?
15965We part to- night-- who knows when we will meet again? 15965 We''ll see a lot of each other-- eh, old man?
15965Were you able to fix the thing up for me?
15965What amount is the bill that falls due to- day?
15965What are you going to do?
15965What became of the scoundrel she ran away with? 15965 What can it be?"
15965What can it be?
15965What can it mean?
15965What did the deceased tell you?
15965What did you tell him, dearest?
15965What do you expect me to do?
15965What do you mean?
15965What do you think of it?
15965What do you think of that?
15965What do you want?
15965What does it matter,he thought,"whether I am rid of Diane or not?
15965What does it mean?
15965What has happened?
15965What if I refuse?
15965What is it?
15965What is the matter, Hawkins?
15965What is to be done?
15965What measures will you take?
15965What time?
15965What were you going to do?
15965What''s the use?
15965What''s up now? 15965 What, John Vernon, the rising artist?"
15965Where are you bound for? 15965 Where did you get it?"
15965Where did-- did you take her?
15965Where do_ you_ come in?
15965Where does it come from-- England or abroad?
15965Where is Count Nordhoff?
15965Where is your father?
15965Where''s my war- paint?
15965Where''s the bloke what hit me?
15965Where''s the cowardly rat what hit me?
15965Who at Julian''s can have known so much about me?
15965Who can that be?
15965Who is the girl?
15965Why did you bring the letter to me?
15965Why do n''t you smoke? 15965 Why do you object to me as a son- in- law?
15965Why do you suggest this, Victor?
15965Why not?
15965Why should I not marry?
15965Will you and Mr. Royle excuse me, father?
15965Will you dine in town to- night, sir?
15965Will you have your lunch now, sir?
15965Will you permit me to have this, Mrs. Rickett? 15965 Yet he refused to help you, and pleaded that he was hard up?"
15965You are John Vernon?
15965You are not sorry?
15965You are sure there is no other way, Bertie?
15965You do n''t mean to say,he asked,"that you were hankering for an Afridi bullet or spear in your heart?"
15965You have my address-- will you let me know if anything occurs?
15965You have read the different accounts?
15965You have seen them?
15965You have the original letter, you say?
15965You know that, do n''t you? 15965 You mean for your indorsement on the bill?"
15965You mean that Nevill indorsed the paper-- all of it?
15965You my uncle, Sir Lucius?
15965You paint, yourself, Miss Foster?
15965You regret nothing, dearest?
15965You scoundrel, do you dare to threaten me?
15965You swear that you have all the papers?
15965You think it is more likely to be the duplicate?
15965You wo n''t let her have her own way?
15965Your secret?
15965_ Now_ do you deny it?
15965''Is he an enemy of yours?''
15965A few days yet, and then--""What''s that?"
15965A good one, eh?
15965A woman was at the bottom of it-- when is it otherwise?
15965Ah, but why not a husband?
15965And I suppose that made him the more angry?"
15965And do you know who the man is?
15965And how about speaking to your father?
15965And if it is--""Well?"
15965And now I ask you again, for the third time, will you be my wife?
15965And now-- who is that woman?
15965And the man whom she proclaimed as her enemy-- do you know_ him_?"
15965And then I''ll turn over that new leaf--""What''s wrong with you, my boy?"
15965And what was his motive?
15965And what wrong could there be about the day''s outing together, if no harm was intended?
15965And what, then, would be my chance of winning her?"
15965And why have you waited more than five years to make use of it?"
15965And you, Jimmie?
15965Been back long?"
15965But are you certain that Madge has seen the fellow since?"
15965But by what agency, then, had the canvas disappeared?
15965But how?
15965But is there no pity or mercy in your heart?
15965But the name?
15965But was it too late now?
15965But what does it all matter?
15965But what steps did you take?"
15965But what was his object in stealing the Rembrandt?
15965But where will you lunch with me?"
15965But who the deuce is the man Hawker?
15965But who was he?
15965But will you let me go without a sign of forgiveness?--without a soft word?"
15965But you will be here?"
15965But, I say, Madge, when will you be my wife?
15965Ca n''t you see I''m a foreign gent from abroad?
15965Can I be right?
15965Can I help it that Von Whele has left Paris?"
15965Can I tell Mr. Lamb that you will call upon him at five o''clock to- morrow afternoon-- or this afternoon, to be correct?
15965Can there be any truth in his theory, I wonder?
15965Can you bring back the past?--the happiness that was yours and mine in the old days?"
15965Can you doubt me?
15965Can you forgive me, Madge?
15965Can you give it to me?"
15965Can you give me a cup of tea?''
15965Could I invent such a thing?"
15965Could I refuse so simple a favor to a friend?"
15965Could you tell me his name, sir?"
15965Cruel one, why did you hide so long?
15965Dearest, you will be my wife?"
15965Did Nevill permit you to come?
15965Did he desert her?"
15965Did it concern me?"
15965Did n''t expect to catch us napping, did you?"
15965Did you miss Hunston?"
15965Did you read the papers while you were away?"
15965Do I not deserve my reward?"
15965Do you consider that you have acted honorably-- that your conduct has been what a gentleman''s should be?"
15965Do you dare to insinuate--""My dear uncle, will you listen to me for a moment?"
15965Do you know that I have been here since ten o''clock?"
15965Do you know that you have treated me cruelly?
15965Do you know what you have done, by letting me believe that you were dead?
15965Do you think it so strange--""Strange?
15965Do you think that I have no conscience, no shame left?
15965Do you understand?
15965Do you understand?"
15965Does your income hold out?"
15965Does-- does he want you to give me up?"
15965Doing well?"
15965For how many years has he made use of his social advantages to ruin young men-- to decoy them into the clutches of the Jews?
15965Go back to the art?"
15965Had a jealous rival planned that Diane should be there?--that she should come to life again to blast the happiness of the man who believed her dead?
15965Has John Vernon told you these lies?"
15965Has anything gone wrong?"
15965Have I appealed to you in vain?"
15965Have I not suffered enough?"
15965Have you any luggage besides that bag?"
15965Have you no answer for me, dear?"
15965Have you no shame, no conscience?
15965Have you nothing to say?
15965Have you seen him?"
15965Have you spoken to Madge?"
15965Have you spoken to him in regard to this matter?"
15965He put a private mark on the duplicate--""Vernon-- John Vernon?"
15965He repeated his question:"What are you going to do?"
15965Here''s to''Dear Old London Town,''in the words of-- who_ did_ write that song?"
15965How are you off for money?"
15965How can I tell her?--how can I live without her?"
15965How can that be done, and as quickly as possible?"
15965How could I have been so stupid?"
15965How could I?"
15965How could a thief break into the studio without leaving some trace of his visit, in the shape of a broken window or a forced lock?
15965How could the thief dispose of it?"
15965How dare you accuse her of stooping to an intrigue?"
15965How did you find me?"
15965How do I know that this letter is not a forgery?
15965How does it feel to be back in dear old London?"
15965How is the liver?"
15965I called you Clare, did n''t I?
15965I have your permission, then, to visit here as a suitor?"
15965I hope?"
15965I''m not a saint myself--""Are you going to preach?"
15965If I were the only one to suffer--""Then there''s another woman?"
15965If they are still in the room, why should I not try to get possession of them?
15965Is he destined to blast my life and ruin my prospects?"
15965Is his influence to ruin my life?
15965Is it likely he''d throw away a fortune, such as I''m offerin''him?
15965Is it not so?"
15965Is n''t your brother going to marry my cousin?
15965Is the shadow of the past-- the heavy punishment that fell upon me for boyish follies-- to blast your life and mine?
15965Is the young lady all right?"
15965It may be too late now--""What do you mean?"
15965It sort of took''er fancy, and--""Did the police find it or examine it?"
15965It was quite a different matter with the others--""You have n''t seen them?"
15965It''s a terrible blow, is n''t it?"
15965Jack, why do you glare at me?
15965Jimmie, go over and pay the account, will you?
15965Madge, are you utterly heartless?
15965Madge, what do you say?
15965Merciful God, what have I done to deserve this?"
15965Morley''s?"
15965Must you be off?
15965My nephew agreed to buy them, intending to destroy them and thus retain his position as my sole heir--""Then Nevill knew who I was?"
15965Nevill engaged to Madge Foster?"
15965Now, where could it have been?
15965Oh, about the other matter-- have you said anything further to your daughter?"
15965Oh, it is shameful to speak of it--""An anonymous letter?
15965Or was the watchman in the plot?
15965Papers of importance to me?
15965Queer, was n''t it?
15965Seen my uncle?"
15965Shall I let Foster into the scheme?
15965Shall we have some refreshment?"
15965So, you''ve stuck to the name of Vernon?
15965Surely, darling, you do n''t believe--""Jack, how can you think so?"
15965The sale continues-- do you think of running over to Amsterdam?"
15965Then perhaps you''re a detective-- a private one?"
15965There is no tie that could forbid you to marry me?"
15965There is only the one little cloud--""Your father?"
15965Vernon?"
15965Vernon?"
15965Victor, what is the matter with you?
15965Was he angry?"
15965Was my Frenchman the same chap who robbed Lamb and Drummond?
15965Was there any connection between this crime and the one committed last night on the premises of the Pall Mall dealers?
15965What are you doing?"
15965What are you going to do with yourself?
15965What became of Gilbert Morris?"
15965What can it mean?
15965What could he gain by dragging up the black skeleton of the past?
15965What could she possibly have to tell me that concerns my future happiness?
15965What could they be, and how did the fellow get them?
15965What d''ye want?"
15965What did he hope to do with a copy of so well- known a work of art?
15965What do they want with you?"
15965What do you make of it?"
15965What do you say to a box at the Savoy to- night?
15965What do you want me to do?"
15965What does this farce mean?"
15965What else could have prompted the deed?"
15965What else?
15965What has become of the Jew?"
15965What has happened?"
15965What have you been doing with yourself for the last two weeks?
15965What is it?
15965What is it?"
15965What is the matter?"
15965What is your business?
15965What is your disgrace to mine?
15965What shall I do now?
15965What shall I do?
15965What was done with the man?"
15965What was in it?"
15965What will the thieves do with their prize?
15965What would she say if she knew that Diane Merode, one of the most popular and fascinating dancers of the Folies Bergere, was now Mrs. John Clare?"
15965What would you suggest?"
15965What''s become of the art?"
15965When did you sweep under this couch?"
15965When shall I see you once more in Lutetia?
15965Where did he pick up such good English?
15965Where have you been hiding yourself, Vernon?
15965Where is the letter?"
15965Where was your father while you were going the pace so heavily?"
15965Who could have written it, and what did it contain?
15965Who has a bit of plaster?"
15965Who is my accuser?"
15965Whom would it not have deceived?
15965Why did n''t I speak at the right time?
15965Why do you tempt me?
15965Why is a man ever fool enough to get married?"
15965Why should n''t you, now that you are free in every sense?
15965Will I never be able to melt her?"
15965Will you come there and have supper with me at nine?"
15965Will you come to 324 Beak street, at half- past eight to- morrow night?
15965Will you come to my rooms at eleven?"
15965Will you forgive me, as your mother did at the last?"
15965Will you have a drink, my dear fellow?
15965Will you marry me early in September?
15965Will you take me home, please?"
15965Will-- will they give me plenty of time?"
15965Wo n''t you trust me and believe me?
15965Women are the very devil, Jack, ai n''t they?
15965Would it be better to try to see her, and tell her all face to face?
15965Would not Madge know at once that it was I who told you?
15965Would you find it convenient to give me a call to- morrow night at eight o''clock, at Morley''s Hotel?"
15965Would you like to make £ 10,000 at a single stroke, without risk?"
15965Would you marry the daughter of a man who--""Are you to blame for your father''s sins?"
15965Yet why should I feel any scruples?
15965You are a free man?
15965You did n''t advertise?"
15965You have n''t a studio at present?"
15965You have no idea who sent it?"
15965You have seen the_ Globe_?"
15965You know how it is, old man, do n''t you?
15965You know what it is?"
15965You suspect nobody?"
15965You will always love me, wo n''t you?"
15965You will consent if your father does?"
15965You wo n''t make me wait long, will you?"
15965You wo n''t mind, will you?"
15965Your father--""What of him?"
15965Your name is not Vernon, but Clare?"
15965Your picture was certainly taken before mine?"
15965do you think I would tell you if it was true?"
15965he asked;"any person whom you did not know?"
15965he exclaimed,"was ever a man so cruelly imposed upon?
11128''And why not?'' 11128 ''What is that noise?''
11128A''Thumbograph''?
11128Also in blood?
11128And I suppose they kept you there for a time to recover?
11128And are Dr. Thorndyke''s cigars so extraordinarily bad?
11128And do I understand that you refused him?
11128And do you mean to say that we shall be turned loose into one of these cages with a herd of other visitors?
11128And do you say that such a counterfeit would be indistinguishable from the original, even by the experts?
11128And have any of your theoretical cases ever turned up in real life?
11128And in whose custody were the keys of the safe?
11128And never to any other person?
11128And now, Thorndyke,I said,"that you have penetrated both the motives and the disguise of this villain, what are you going to do?
11128And so Miss Gibson wanted to know our private views on the case?
11128And then?
11128And then?
11128And was the place closed?
11128And was there anything that tended to throw suspicion upon anyone?
11128And what about Mr. Hornby''s liability for the diamonds?
11128And what did he say? 11128 And what do you infer from that?"
11128And what do you mean to do?
11128And what do you propose to do first?
11128And what do you think they will do?
11128And what has come?
11128And what sort of character do you give him?
11128And who is that?
11128And why not? 11128 And with regard to the''Thumbograph''?"
11128And you are certain that no mistake is possible?
11128And you are of opinion that the mark on the paper that was found in Mr. Hornby''s safe, was made by the prisoner''s left thumb?
11128And you are sure that you never saw the''Thumbograph''before that?
11128And you occupy premises in St. Mary Axe?
11128And you recollect quite clearly that your nephew Walter gave you the''Thumbograph''on that occasion?
11128And you will have patience with me, too, wo n''t you? 11128 And-- if I may ask the question--"pursued Reuben anxiously,"do you find it possible to conceive that I may really be innocent?"
11128Are those all stamps?
11128Are we defending an innocent man or are we endeavouring to obtain a light sentence for a man who admits that he is guilty?
11128Are you all agreed upon your verdict, gentlemen?
11128Are you calling any more witnesses?
11128Are you cross- examining this witness?
11128Are you going to take me into your confidence?
11128As easy as to forge a signature, for instance?
11128At the end, say, of two hours, what will be the condition of the drop of blood?
11128But how else would you put it?
11128But in prison?
11128But is it possible to forge a thumb- print or a finger- print?
11128But now what evidence is there that the red thumb- print is a forgery? 11128 But shall we not be taken to Reuben''s cell?"
11128But surely the process you have described is a very difficult and intricate one?
11128But the information was not of a very secret character, was it?
11128But what has that society to do with the''Thumbograph''?
11128But what is the special bearing on the case supposing it was so?
11128But why so many?
11128But why?
11128But, if not the prisoner''s thumb- print, what was it? 11128 But, you see, it begs the whole question, which is,''Was the crime committed by the person who made this finger- print?''
11128By the way, why did n''t you ask her what she meant?
11128By what means can blood be prevented from clotting or solidifying?
11128By what means do you consider that the mark was produced?
11128By whom was the subpoena served?
11128Ca n''t I put you down somewhere?
11128Can you explain to us, without being too technical, how you have arrived at such complete certainty?
11128Can you forgive me, dear, for my unutterable folly?
11128Can you form any idea how such blood should have got into the safe?
11128Can you recall the occasion on which the''Thumbograph''was given to you?
11128Can you suggest any explanation of the condition of that blood?
11128Can you tell us what happens when a drop of blood-- say from a cut finger-- falls upon a surface such as the bottom of an iron safe?
11128Can you tell us, Mrs. Hornby, how the''Thumbograph''came into your possession?
11128Casper and Taylor are pretty old, are n''t they?
11128Christopher Jervis,it said,"what is this that you are doing?
11128Could it not have been made by the thumb of some other person?
11128Cyclist?
11128Did he really say that-- that he was confident of an acquittal?
11128Did you examine it thoroughly?
11128Did you make your usual rounds on that occasion?
11128Did you mistake that paper for some other paper?
11128Did you never guess?
11128Did you notice anything else?
11128Did you notice anything unusual about the safe?
11128Did you notice anything unusual on the night of the ninth of March?
11128Did you notice if he was carrying anything?
11128Do I disturb you untimely at your studies?
11128Do either of you gents know anything about this here?
11128Do n''t you remember? 11128 Do you agree to that statement?"
11128Do you agree with the statements made by that witness?
11128Do you believe that he is guilty?
11128Do you know if the police took possession of it?
11128Do you know when the mines began to depreciate?
11128Do you or do you not recognise the book in your hand?
11128Do you propose to cross- examine the witness?
11128Do you remember a thing called a''Thumbograph''?
11128Do you remember what happened on the ninth of March last?
11128Do you remember,said Sir Hector, after the usual preliminaries had been gone through,"what occurred on the morning of the tenth of March?"
11128Do you reside within that noble old portico?
11128Do you say that-- having regard to the facts which you have stated-- it is certain that the red thumb- mark is a forgery?
11128Do you swear that the mark upon that paper was made by the thumb of the prisoner?
11128Do you think that it was made by the thumb of some other person?
11128Do you think they will be able to tell the real from the false thumb- prints?
11128Does blood always behave in the way you have described?
11128Does it matter?
11128H''m,grunted Thorndyke, as he sauntered up and down the room, teacup in hand,"to guess, eh?
11128Had Holker a key of the outer door?
11128Had anyone been to the house during your absence?
11128Had the keys left your custody in the interval?
11128Had the place been broken into?
11128Had you any suspicions of either of them?
11128Had you then any suspicion of either of the nephews?
11128Has he a regular printing press?
11128Has he any special trouble besides this, then?
11128Has he ever seemed to be in want of money?
11128Has he, to your knowledge, any expensive or extravagant habits?
11128Have I?
11128Have n''t I benefited by your help a score of times? 11128 Have n''t I, dear?"
11128Have the keys ever gone out of your possession?
11128Have you any objection to offer, Sir Hector?
11128Have you been asked the questions that were written on the paper?
11128Have you ever known him to bet, gamble, or speculate?
11128Have you ever lent the''Thumbograph''to anyone?
11128Have you examined the paper that was handed to you?
11128Have you given any attention to the subject of finger- prints?
11128Have you given the answers that were written down?
11128Have you had much experience of medico- legal inquiries?
11128Have you had occasion to study the properties of blood?
11128Have you heard the evidence of the last witness?
11128Have you seen it before?
11128Here''s Mr. Miller, from Scotland Yard, sir; shall I show him in?
11128How can you possibly get over that?
11128How did it happen?
11128How do you identify it?
11128How do you know that?
11128How do you know that?
11128How is it, then,asked the judge,"that it has been put in evidence?"
11128How is that?
11128How long were you absent?
11128How shall we go?
11128How soon did you leave the premises after this?
11128How- d''ye- do, doctor?
11128I believe, Mr. Singleton,he said at length,"that you are connected with the Finger- print Department at Scotland Yard?"
11128I infer,said he,"that our learned brother is practising parlour magic upstairs, or peradventure he has gone on a journey?"
11128I observe, Mrs. Hornby,I said,"that in answer to the first question,''Whence did you obtain the"Thumbograph"?''
11128I should be delighted,said Reuben,"if the programme would include a satisfactory wash.""You will come, Anstey?"
11128I suppose there is a keyhole in the laboratory door?
11128I suppose,I said at length,"it is of no use for me to re- open the question of the advisability of this visit on your part?"
11128I take it that you have examined a great number of finger- prints?
11128I understand, then,pursued Anstey,"that you consider the thumb- print, which has been sworn to as the prisoner''s, to be a forgery?"
11128In what respect?
11128In what way?
11128In your opinion, was the mark upon that paper made by the thumb of the prisoner?
11128Indeed?
11128Is it any concern of ours?
11128Is it not rather odd that the thief did not notice the thumb- mark, since it was so distinct and conspicuous?
11128Is it possible to recognise a print that has been made by a nearly dry finger?
11128Is it so bad? 11128 Is it the memorandum that you placed on the parcel of diamonds?"
11128Is the case one of any intricacy?
11128Is the''Thumbograph''in your bag?
11128Is there any objection to my using the photograph that I have with me for comparison, my lord?
11128Is there any possibility,asked Thorndyke,"that the paper bearing the thumb- print could have been introduced by any person?"
11128Is there anything unusual about the thumb- print?
11128Is this the book?
11128Is this the paper that you found in the safe?
11128Is this the paper?
11128Is this the paper?
11128Is this the way?
11128Is your explanation connected with any peculiarities in the thumb- print on the paper that was found in the safe?
11128It is associated with matters of so extremely disagreeable a character--"Do you recognise it?
11128It might have a considerable bearing on the present case, might it not?
11128It will hold four of us,said Reuben,"and Dr. Jervis will bring Juliet; wo n''t you, Jervis?"
11128Kindly examine this paper, Mr. Singleton( here the fatal leaflet was handed to him by the usher);"have you ever seen it before?"
11128May I come in?
11128Might not the resemblances be merely a coincidence?
11128Miss Gibson, sir?
11128Now why do I suggest that he is a stationmaster?
11128Now, was that thumb- print made by the prisoner''s thumb? 11128 Now, what do you make it?"
11128Shall we be too late, do you think?
11128Shall we take a cab, or walk?
11128Shall we take a hansom?
11128Shall you bring them upstairs, sir?
11128So John Hornby has been plunging in mines, eh?
11128So the''Thumbograph''is now in Mrs. Hornby''s possession?
11128Supposing such a drop to be taken up on a piece of white paper, what would be its appearance?
11128Taking the thumb- prints_ seriatim_, what have you noted about them?
11128Thank you for saying that,she rejoined warmly;"and you will let me have a crumb of comfort when you can, wo n''t you?"
11128That I act entirely on my own account and make no communication to anybody? 11128 The diamonds were of considerable value, then?"
11128The inquest is fixed for to- morrow-- what is the matter? 11128 The law professes to regard the unconvicted man as innocent; but how does it treat him?
11128The more general question thus becomes narrowed down to the more particular question:''Is this a genuine thumb- print or is it a forgery?'' 11128 The third point is, What is the social standing of this gentle stranger, whom we will call X?
11128Then I take it that you did not plead''guilty''?
11128Then what is the thing?
11128Then why did you refer to it?
11128Then you can tell us, no doubt, whether he is left- handed or right- handed?
11128Then you do not recognise the machine? 11128 There is a mark on that paper resembling the print of a human thumb?"
11128Walter is your nephew, Walter Hornby?
11128Was any evidence taken?
11128Was anyone present when Mr. Hornby opened the safe in the morning?
11128Was he expecting you?
11128Was it examined microscopically or otherwise?
11128Was it possible that there could have been any such marks?
11128Was it quite liquid?
11128Was the outer door locked?
11128Was the safe locked or unlocked when you arrived?
11128Was there any thumb- mark or blood- smear on it when you placed it in the safe?
11128We should n''t be back early enough for me to go to Kensington from the station, I suppose?
11128Well, and what next?
11128Well, if you_ had_ known,said she;"what difference could it have made to you?"
11128Well, that is a perfectly good syllogism, is n''t it?
11128Well, what is it?
11128Well,he said, after watching me in silence for some time,"what do you see?"
11128Well?
11128Well?
11128Were the answers that you were to give to those questions also written on the paper?
11128What appearance had it on paper?
11128What are the photographs he was referring to?
11128What are those figures intended to show?
11128What are your official duties?
11128What became of the man?
11128What did you do next?
11128What did you do next?
11128What did you do then?
11128What did you observe when you opened the safe?
11128What did you see on the paper?
11128What do you mean?
11128What do you say, gentlemen? 11128 What else did you do?"
11128What had you to reproach yourself with?
11128What happened next?
11128What have you advised your client to do?
11128What have you got for lunch?
11128What have you got in that bottle?
11128What is a''Thumbograph''?
11128What is he doing in there?
11128What is that?
11128What is your explanation of the presence of defibrinated blood in the safe?
11128What is your opinion as to the condition of that blood?
11128What kind of lamp had he?
11128What kind of notes?
11128What line would you propose?
11128What made you go to him, Miss Gibson?
11128What part of the building did he go to?
11128What society were you referring to?
11128What sort of walking- stick?
11128What was that?
11128What, are you going to put it under the microscope?
11128When did he give them to you?
11128When did you first come to the conclusion that it was a forgery?
11128When did you next open the safe?
11128When the detective suggested that you should have the thumb- prints of your two nephews taken, did you refuse?
11128Where did you pick him up?
11128Where is this paper on which the questions and answers are written?
11128Who arrived first on the morning of the tenth?
11128Who came next?
11128Who could have had access to your writing table?
11128Who done it?
11128Who gave you the note and the parcel?
11128Who placed them in the safe?
11128Who the deuce can that be?
11128Who was the last to leave the premises on the evening of the ninth?
11128Why I still think that he gave it to me, though, of course, seeing that my memory is not what it was--"You think that Walter gave it to you?
11128Why are you not sure?
11128Why did he smile-- that old gentleman-- when he looked at us?
11128Why did n''t you?
11128Why did you refuse?
11128Why do n''t they all swear at once and have done with it?
11128Why do you think so?
11128Why not give it up and let me take a message to Reuben? 11128 Why should you expect that?"
11128Why were you so secret about that projectile?
11128Why, have n''t you heard? 11128 Will eight o''clock suit you, do you think?"
11128Will it undergo any further change?
11128Will you give us the results of those experiments?
11128Will you have one of Thorndyke''s special brand?
11128Will you tell us, Mrs. Hornby, how the''Thumbograph''came into your possession?
11128Wo n''t you sit down?
11128Would the blood on the paper appear as a clear, red liquid?
11128Would there be no means at all of detecting the difference between a forged finger- print and the genuine original?
11128Would you care to help me-- as a matter of business, of course-- to work up this case? 11128 Would you let me call at the Temple and go with you?
11128Would you like us to bring the book to Dr. Thorndyke''s chambers?
11128Would your lordship give your permission for a demonstration such as the witness proposes?
11128Yes,said Thorndyke,"and what happened next?"
11128Yes,she agreed,"that is the position; but which of the two alternatives appears to you the more probable?"
11128You are a doctor of medicine, I believe,said Anstey, addressing the witness,"and lecturer on Medical Jurisprudence at the South London Hospital?"
11128You are not going to be angry with me, are you? 11128 You are of opinion that no mistake is possible?"
11128You are of opinion that the blood found in the safe could not have been ordinary blood shed from a cut or wound?
11128You are quite sure of that?
11128You are quite sure that the thumb- print was made with liquid blood?
11128You are the housekeeper at Mr. Hornby''s premises in St. Mary Axe?
11128You consider,Sir Hector proceeded,"that the identity of this thumb- print admits of no doubt?"
11128You do n''t mean to say that they have sent him to prison?
11128You do n''t think it possible that Mr. Hornby could have stolen the diamonds out of his own safe?
11128You do n''t think it was intentional, surely?
11128You do really know who he is, then?
11128You have heard the evidence of Inspector Sanderson and Sergeant Bates?
11128You have heard two expert witnesses swear that that mark was made by the left thumb of the prisoner, Reuben Hornby?
11128You have known the prisoner several years, I believe?
11128You have made some enlarged photographs of the thumb- prints, have you not?
11128You have no doubt,said Anstey,"as to the correctness of your conclusions?
11128You heard the evidence relating to the two drops of blood found in the safe?
11128You made your entries as soon as possible after your return, I suppose?
11128You mean as to Miss Gibson''s relations with these two young men?
11128You mean the man pushing you down in that way?
11128You read the label, I think?
11128You swear that those two prints are forgeries?
11128You think, then, there is a suspicion that the package may have been tampered with?
11128You will not come to the office, then?
11128You would like some tea, sir, I expect?
11128You would not mind coming with me this evening, would you, aunt?
11128Your name is John Hornby, is it not?
11128_ Cherchez la_--h''m?
11128''But,''said Walter,''what about the defence?
11128''Like to have a look at them, sir?''
11128A few moments later I heard his voice ascending from the hall--"I do hope, sir, you''re not much hurt?"
11128And now, let me ask you, have you any cuts or scratches on your fingers?"
11128And now, what is the nature of this projectile?"
11128And then, was it possible that the feeling was on her side only?
11128And then--""Do you think this is the one, dear?"
11128And what was my position?
11128And when will the expedition take place?"
11128And where is Reuben?"
11128And would he mind, do you think, if I called to inquire after him?"
11128And you are sure that he took the thumb- prints?"
11128Anstey?"
11128Anstey?"
11128Are there any facts which support this theory?
11128Are you a man of honour or nought but a mean, pitiful blackguard?
11128Are you guilty or not guilty?"
11128Are you prepared to furnish proof that this is the case?"
11128Are you sure I am not bringing you out of the way?"
11128But the thumb- mark?
11128But was I acting as a man of honour?
11128But what would you have, my learned brother?
11128But what''s that got to do with it?"
11128By the way, I hope I am not divulging your principal''s secrets?"
11128By the way, Jervis, I understand you are out of employment just now?"
11128Ca n''t you help me, Juliet?
11128Can it be a question of property?
11128Can it then be a question of private enmity or revenge?
11128Can you explain it?"
11128Can you explain to me, Polton, how it is that your rump steak is better than any other steak?
11128Can you tell us anything about that mark?"
11128Could Mr. Hornby himself be the thief?
11128Could it be that Walter Hornby was in reality the miscreant X?
11128Dam funny, ai n''t it?
11128Did you learn how long he had been in difficulties?"
11128Did you notice the condition of the blood, whether moist or dry?"
11128Did you take the keys with you?"
11128Did you think I should have taken it out and put it somewhere else?
11128Did you, for instance, buy it yourself, or was it given to you by someone?"
11128Do I see another learned brother?"
11128Do n''t you think so?"
11128Do you agree with her?"
11128Do you know anything about typewriters?"
11128Do you know that he had the impudence to advise Reuben to plead''guilty''?"
11128Do you mean that it_ may_ be a forgery, or that it actually is one?"
11128Do you really know who sent this thing?"
11128Do you think,"he added, turning to Thorndyke,"that you can undertake my defence on that assumption?"
11128Does that fall foul of any arrangement of yours?"
11128First, what evidence is there that it is a genuine thumb- print?
11128For instance, you are quite sure that the prints one and two are forgeries?"
11128Had she found Reuben as cool and matter- of- fact as I had?
11128Has the defence failed?
11128Have n''t you a dissecting microscope or some other portable instrument?"
11128Have you any idea what Dr. Thorndyke''s reason is for wanting to see it?"
11128Have you ascertained what Miss Gibson''s actual relation is to Reuben Hornby?"
11128Have you given any attention to finger- prints made by bloody fingers?"
11128Have you succeeded yet, Polton?"
11128He is so clever, you know-- is he not, Juliet, dear?"
11128He looks pretty bad, does n''t he?"
11128He walked on silently for a few minutes and then said:"I suppose it would not be fair to ask if you see any way out of the difficulty?
11128How could I have done otherwise under the circumstances?
11128How could I?
11128How do you propose that the comparison should be made?"
11128I drew a deep breath, and, having recovered myself, outwardly at least, said--"I hope you do n''t find the conditions here too intolerable?"
11128I exclaimed,"have you contrived to tear yourself away from the laboratory for an hour or two?"
11128I gather that our two young friends are not inseparable companions?"
11128I see you have packed up the camera and the microscope, Polton; have you put in the micrometer?"
11128I suppose it would be superfluous for me to suggest that you mind your eye?"
11128I suppose you are resolved to go?
11128I understand you want a house watched?"
11128Is Jervis coming with us?"
11128Is he going to be convicted, or will he get an acquittal?"
11128Is he much hurt?
11128Is it not so?"
11128Is it not so?"
11128Is it that you have command of a special brand of ox?"
11128Is that so?"
11128Is the object a specially interesting one?"
11128Is the prisoner guilty or not guilty?"
11128Is this true, Dr. Jervis?
11128Jervis?"
11128Jervis?"
11128Let me see, do you know Mr. Walter Hornby?
11128May I ask how they came to have the opportunity of making the comparison?"
11128May I ask if anything came of your visit to Scotland Yard?
11128May I ask if you have any idea who he is?"
11128Miss Gibson''s visit-- but why should I speak of her in these formal terms?
11128Mr. Anstey was here less than half- an- hour ago--""Do you mean Reuben''s counsel?"
11128Mr. Nash, will you kindly examine the paper and write down the results of your examination?"
11128Mrs Hornby had obtained access to this typewriting machine; and if Mrs. Hornby could do so, why not John Hornby?
11128Nash?"
11128No one has ever wanted to borrow it, because, you see--""Has it never, at any time, gone out of your possession?"
11128Now tell me, did you ascertain beyond all doubt that the diamonds were really gone?"
11128Now upon what grounds has this gentleman of irreproachable character been charged with this mean and sordid crime?
11128Now what caused you to make that reference?"
11128Now what estimate have you formed of his character?"
11128Now, I ask you, what could Reuben want with diamonds?
11128Now, I suppose you regard your hypothesis as having received very substantial confirmation?"
11128Now, for instance, what do you make of this?"
11128Now, if the forged print is indistinguishable from the original, how are you able to be certain that this particular print is a forgery?"
11128Now, what led you to believe that fluid to be blood?"
11128Now, why should he feel so urgent a desire for my death?
11128Ought I to be able to arrive at any opinion on the subject?"
11128Polton?"
11128Shall we cab it or walk?"
11128She gave me a little ironical bow as she inquired--"And, in short, I may take it that I am to be pumped?"
11128Should I be much in the way?
11128Sir Hector Trumpler smiled significantly at the jury, and continued--"Now who wrote down those questions and answers?"
11128Tell me, is it true?
11128Then you consider my theory of John Hornby as the perpetrator of the robbery as quite a tenable one?"
11128There is no doubt, I suppose, as to the identification?"
11128Thorndyke glanced quickly along the floor in the direction that the missile would have taken, and then said--"Do you see any mark on the wall there?"
11128Thorndyke?"
11128Thorndyke?"
11128Thorndyke?"
11128Walter?"
11128Want to see that thumb- print, eh?"
11128Was anyone present when you placed the diamonds in the safe?"
11128We reserve our defence-- I suppose you agree to that?"
11128Well?"
11128What are you going to do?"
11128What building is that ahead?"
11128What can possibly be said in reply?
11128What can they be for?
11128What conclusion do you draw from that?"
11128What could I do?
11128What did Dr. Jervis wish to know about it?"
11128What did he do it with?"
11128What did he mean by speaking in that supercilious tone of the loveliest and sweetest woman in the world?
11128What do you make of it?"
11128What do you mean by a''guess''?"
11128What do you think I ought to have done?"
11128What do you think of Hornby''s prospects?
11128What else did we come here for?"
11128What evidence has been brought forward to show that it was made by the prisoner?
11128What has happened to Reuben?"
11128What inference do you draw from that fact?"
11128What is your own impression?"
11128What should you consider the condition and nature of that blood to have been?"
11128What sort of relations were growing up between Juliet Gibson and me?
11128What time shall I come to the Temple?"
11128What traces has he left?"
11128What was that?"
11128What will become of him?
11128When shall we bring it?
11128Who advised or instructed him to write them down?"
11128Why not?"
11128Why should I be proud?
11128Why should he have sent a Trichinopoly instead of an ordinary Havana such as Bartletts actually manufacture?
11128Why should it have been opened?
11128Why should it?"
11128Why speculate over an unopened letter when a glance at the contents will tell you all there is to know?"
11128Why, then, does he suspect me of suspecting him, since I have not spoken?
11128Will Reuben be sent to prison after all?"
11128Will you go over them, Jervis?
11128Would they have influenced you in your attitude towards him?"
11128Would you do me the favour of permitting me to look for it?"
11128Would you like to have it this evening?"
11128You can attend to the scalp wound and send round the necessary letters, ca n''t you?"
11128You have a print with you, I suppose?"
11128You have come to tell me something?"
11128You have known him for some years?"
11128You have n''t destroyed it, I hope?"
11128You know it comes on for trial next week?"
11128You see how it was intended to be done, I suppose?"
11128but who had seen him tear it off?
11128he exclaimed, as we descended the stairs;"but it has n''t been wasted, Jervis, hey?"
11128none of us are paralysed, but we must consider our own, must n''t we?
11128said Thorndyke--"while the matter was still fresh?"
11128she answered;"but you know it, do n''t you?
11128those foul Trichinopolies?
11128who can that be?"
11128will he be able to save Reuben?
17180''Adn''t I better tell Mrs. Mummery to put the blue bedroom in order and''ave plenty of''ot water?...
17180''Aystack?
17180''Ere you,he said-- he had n''t much respect for Borkins and made no attempt to hide the fact--"what the dooce''as become of his lordship''s pypers?
17180A regular right- hand man you are, eh, Mr. Narkom? 17180 Ai n''t there?
17180Among the uneducated-- what would you? 17180 And he came back?"
17180And how did you discover that Brellier was the''Master''in question?
17180And that they have nothing whatever to do with the vanishing of Wynne and Collins?
17180And then-- what next, Sir Nigel?
17180And these two newcomers? 17180 And what does he do with all this gold, you ask?
17180And what then, Mr. Narkom? 17180 And what then?"
17180And where, then, does the manager live, if not over the bank itself?
17180And who the devil are you?
17180And yet you can not recall the actual remark that your uncle made, Miss Brellier?
17180And''e would n''t''arf be astonished, would''e, sir?... 17180 Any news for me?
17180Any proof?
17180Any restrictions?
17180Are you fit to be about?
17180Been seein''the country-- eh? 17180 Believe it, man?
17180Bit of a sport, ai n''t she, guv''nor?
17180But what I means is, what sort er boats? 17180 But what_ is_ marsh gas, Mr.--Headland?"
17180But, sir,he whispered in a hoarse undertone,"you wo n''t go a- knocking about alone, will yer?
17180But--The coroner''s voice was low- pitched, incredulous,"are you trying to tell us you fired a shot that night, Miss Brellier?"
17180By the way, Nigel,he asked suddenly,"is n''t there some ghost story or other pertaining to your district?
17180Ca n''t you use your eyes? 17180 Coming?"
17180D''yer think I''d be such a dirty blighter as ter let you go dahn there-- p''raps ter your very death-- alone? 17180 Did I bring you here as a friend and give you every opportunity to work on this strange business, to have you arraign me as a murderer?
17180Did n''t you?
17180Did you see his face, lad?
17180Did you''ear, sir?
17180Do n''t know,he said laconically,"and if that were true, where are the bodies?...
17180Do n''t think much uv this''ere passage, anyway, do you?
17180Do n''t you know that it''s not safe to be in this district after nightfall? 17180 Do n''t you think your language is a trifle-- er-- overstrong, Wynne?"
17180Do you know Dacre Wynne?
17180Eh-- what? 17180 Found''em?
17180Gen''leman''ere yet?
17180Gone, sir? 17180 Got a penknife, West?"
17180Happen you do n''t unnerstan''the business? 17180 Have I?"
17180He said it was business-- what would you? 17180 How did they meet their death?"
17180How do you mean, sir?
17180How goes it to- night, sir? 17180 How goes it?
17180However did you get to this part of the world? 17180 I may smoke,''Toinette?
17180I suppose, Bennett, that I shall be allowed to see Miss Brellier? 17180 I take it that you had had what you term''words''since that fatal date?"
17180I-- I-- What can you know about me, but that I''ave been in the employment of this family nearly all my life?
17180I-- I-- damn it, Tony, you do n''t believe it, do you?
17180In time, Petrie?
17180Indeed?
17180Is it of small calibre?
17180Is that so, Methuselah?
17180Is there not a loophole_ here_, sir, by which Sir Nigel might be saved? 17180 Is this true, my man?"
17180It belongs to some member of your household, Miss Brellier?
17180Like it, old man?
17180M''Lud,he said clearly,"may I ask a favour of the court?
17180Mate on the square with you, I s''pose? 17180 Meaning me?"
17180Mr. Brellier, is it not? 17180 Mr. Wynne, sir?
17180My uncle, Borkins? 17180 Nice sort of place for the Squire of the Manor to be disporting himself, is n''t it?"
17180Now I wonder what the dickens?...
17180Now why did he make that bloomer about dates, I wonder? 17180 Now, what the dickens...?"
17180Oh, Nigel lives round here, does he?
17180Oh?
17180On the Saltfleet Road, eh?
17180Peaceful night, last night, eh, Borkins?
17180Pretty awful, is n''t it? 17180 Rather of a surprise, I must admit; is n''t it?"
17180Reason for_ killing_ him? 17180 S''welp me, you chaps, ai n''t none uv you a- goin''ter lend a''and to a mate wot''s out uv a job?
17180See that stuff in there? 17180 Shall I show the lady in?"
17180Sir Nigel, sir-- I--"When did Collins go?
17180Sir Nigel, sir? 17180 So Sir Nigel was no good friend of this man Wynne''s, then?"
17180So much for yer Lunnon policeman, eh? 17180 So that''s it, is it?
17180So you waited until things looked a little blacker for him, and then decided to cast your creditable scruples to the wind?
17180So? 17180 So?
17180So?
17180Strangers, ai n''t you?
17180Then perhaps the man Stark killed him, after all?
17180Then why the devil did n''t you tell me last night?
17180Then you do n''t believe me?
17180There is nothing-- one can do?
17180There was no need for thanks-- none at all.... What is your opinion of the Towers, Miss Brellier?
17180This revolver is yours?
17180Thought I heard a shot, Nigel, what--?
17180Visitors, Nigel?
17180Want another, eh? 17180 Well, Doctor,"said Tony West, as he entered the room,"what''s the plan?
17180Well, Merriton, you''ve got your own back for little Rosie Deverill, have n''t you? 17180 Well, Wynne said twelve, did n''t he?"
17180Well, my talkative young parrot,he greeted West affectionately,"and how are you?...
17180Well, then,''ow the dickens do they send''em out?
17180Well-- if you please-- Sir Nigel-- that is--"What the devil are they, then?
17180What I say is:''Would a judge and jury believe you?'' 17180 What d''you mean, C-- Headland?"
17180What did the letter from Headquarters say? 17180 What did you go up for, Nigel-- really?"
17180What is it, dear?
17180What is it? 17180 What more can you ask than that?
17180What now, matey? 17180 What suggested this plan to you?"
17180What the devil do you mean, Borkins, talkin''a lot of rot? 17180 What the devil is it?"
17180What the devil--?
17180What the dickens do you mean?
17180What the hell are you doing here?
17180What then,_ p''tite_?
17180What yer goin''ter do, sir?
17180What''re they going to do about it?
17180What''s that, my lord? 17180 What''s that?
17180What''s that? 17180 What''s that?"
17180What''s the job?
17180Where do they ship''em to, matey?
17180Where is your''general knowledge''which you learnt at school, man? 17180 Where the deuce is Collins?"
17180Where was I? 17180 Where you sleepin''?"
17180Where''re you off to, matey? 17180 Who''ll take it on?
17180Who? 17180 Why?"
17180You are Mr. Headland, are you not?
17180You are ready to swear that this is true, upon your oath, and knowing that perjury is punishable by law?
17180You did n''t think of that, did you? 17180 You here as well?
17180You mean to tell me that a whole township has been hanging by the heels, so to speak, upon as ridiculously easy an affair as that?
17180You saw the new flame? 17180 You say it is yours, Miss Brellier?
17180You say you heard the man Wynne groaning and moaning on the garden pathway after he was shot, and then practically saw him die?
17180You think so?
17180You will see that it is done, Dobbs, and done properly to- night?
17180Your Lordship,he said, addressing the judge, who looked at him with raised eyebrows,"may I address the court?"
17180Your statement against this man Borkins--?
17180Yus-- wasn''t it? 17180 _ Gad!..._ Where did you find it?"
17180_ Last night?_Merriton sat bolt upright in bed and ran his fingers through his hair.
17180_ Nigel!_ How dared he?
17180_ Two_ of''em, sir?
17180_ You!_"Yes-- I, Mr.--er-- Headland, is n''t it? 17180 _ Your_ shot, Sir Nigel?
17180''Ave_ you_ bin''avin''a squint at''em, ole pieface?
17180''Avin''some nice adventures this night, ai n''t we, guv''nor?"
17180''Oo''s the little''un?"
17180''Ow did you come ter think of it?
17180''Want ter make a bit of extra money by''oldin''of your tongue?''
17180... Now I wonder why the deuce he lied to me?"
17180A fine night, what?
17180A little stir of interest went round the crowded, smoky room and someone called out:"Lunnon,''ave yer?
17180A sort of unearthly fireworks display, or some new explosive experiment?
17180Afraid to go out and see what those lights are, are you?
17180After all, was n''t it almost impossible that the bullet_ should_ be the same?
17180Ai n''t wastin''many words, are yer, matey?
17180An''any chawnce of a couple of men gittin''a bit er work to keep the blinkin''wolf from the door?
17180An''the narsty eye?
17180An''what''re sailor men doin''in Lunnon, any''ow?"
17180An''where''s the bloomin''boss?"
17180And as for believing his word before yours-- who fired the shot, Sir Nigel?
17180And if it''adn''t been for all this unpleasantness, it would''ave bin a nice little change for yer, would n''t it?
17180And is that all you''ve got to tell me?
17180And may I ask how you discovered all this, before going into the case of Borkins?"
17180And the other man?
17180And the second one, if I do n''t make any mistake, answers to the description of James Collins-- eh, Headland?"
17180And was there not a chance that the bullet might be different?
17180And what else did you learn, Dollops?"
17180And what fool put you in this idiotic predicament?
17180And what malignant power dwelt behind the screen of their mystery?
17180And what then, Dollops?"
17180And what was a man doing out there at night, with a revolver?
17180And what went on here in these uninhabited reaches of the marshland?
17180And when one knew that these things carried electric wiring.... Or_ did they_?...
17180And who''s party is this, anyhow?
17180And why in heaven''s name should n''t I go out and investigate''em if I want to?
17180And yet, how did the knowledge, that he was not altogether what he seemed, leak out?
17180And yet-- who can tell?
17180And you can show proof of this, if the jury requires it?"
17180And"--he stopped and sucked in his breath, wheeling round upon Mr. Narkom--"when you come to think of it, why should n''t it have grown up already?
17180Any finger- prints?"
17180Any one know where we kin get a shake- down for the night?
17180Any one''ere tell me the story?
17180Anythink the matter, sir?"
17180Are you on?"
17180Besides"--he smiled suddenly into the seamed, anxious face of the man--"who knows but that bullet may prove Sir Nigel''s innocence?
17180Bit of a problem, eh, Dollops?
17180Bit orf the track, ai n''t yer?"
17180Borkins?
17180Borkins?"
17180Brellier?"
17180Burnt''em alive, so to speak?"
17180But for what purpose?
17180But what he really_ did_ say was:"What are their names?"
17180But what if Borkins and Merriton had been working hand- in- glove, and then, somehow or other, had had a split?
17180But what the devil has Borkins got to_ do_ with this factory?
17180But what the''ell is this factory work''ere, any''ow?
17180But where?
17180But you remember now, eh?
17180But-- did he?
17180But-- no one had heard them, he had said?
17180By the way, have you, in your employ, a dark, square- faced individual, with close- set eyes and a straggling moustache?
17180By the way, who''s the chap with the black mustache a- stragglin''all over''is fyce?
17180Ca n''t be that it''s done on_ purpose_, and yet-- why is it still here?"
17180Ca n''t some of us stop him?"
17180Calling him a murderer, were they?
17180Can you explain it any clearer?"
17180Can you recollect your uncle telling you that he used your revolver to shoot the dog with, or not?
17180Cleek?"
17180Cleek?"
17180Cold, Mr.--er Headland?"
17180Comin''along now?"
17180Coming, Dollops?"
17180Congratulate me, wo n''t you?"
17180Contraband, eh, matey?"
17180Credence in the story?
17180D''you think I''m crazy?
17180D''you think they''d believe you?"
17180Devilish long journey, what?
17180Did he, or did you?
17180Did n''t they teach you any?
17180Do n''t envy him the task, do you?"
17180Doing a bit of eavesdropping, eh?"
17180Dollops, got the golf- clubs and walking- sticks?
17180Eh, Bill?"
17180Eh, Nigel?"
17180Eh-- what''s that?"
17180Electrical tubings, eh?
17180Even more clever, is n''t it?
17180Ever noticed it, West?
17180Ever seen''em yourself?
17180Fifty pounds?
17180Fight was it?
17180Fishing boats?...
17180Found that chap with the straggling black moustache that tried to do me in the other night?
17180Funny thing, ai n''t it?"
17180Funny?
17180Give us an appetite for our breakfast, eh?"
17180Glad that there was a chance for another pal to come under the same brutal sway as he had?
17180Got your oilskin with you, Petrie?"
17180Had n''t you better''phone the local branch?
17180Happen to have learnt the chap''s name yet?"
17180He has heard, of course?"
17180He lifted an excited face to meet her eyes,"Where did you get it, Miss Brellier?"
17180He was here at the time, and yet why did he suggest that old wives''tale as a possible solution of the disappearance?
17180He went out to investigate the flames, Merriton?
17180Headland?"
17180Headland?"
17180Hear anything?"
17180Here, just hand me that shirt, will you?"
17180How are you, old sport?"
17180How long have these-- er-- lights been seen hereabouts?
17180How long were those beasts going to brood in there over the dead?
17180How now, son?
17180How was the deed done?"
17180I have your permission to continue?"
17180I say, do you ride?
17180I say-- look over there, will you?"
17180I trust you are going to do likewise?"
17180I''ve been asleep, have n''t I?
17180I''ve had a long ride, and a hard one.... And so you two are going to get married, are you?"
17180If he had only known what the future held in store for them both, would he still have clung to his purpose?
17180If he should be convicted and sent to prison, what would become of her?
17180If they''re late, well, would n''t it be worth your while to go down to the station and''ave a gentle word or two with one of the officials there?"
17180Into the morning room?
17180Is it not so?"
17180Is n''t that rather strange?"
17180Is that you, Dollops?"
17180Is there nothing, nothing that can be done to save him?
17180It is identical with those that are used in the cartridges of your revolver, is it not?"
17180Just loadin''is our game, then?"
17180Lake?"
17180Let''s see what''s the time?
17180Lonely?
17180Lookin''a bit white about the gills, are n''t you, eh?...
17180Looks a bit funny, that, does n''t it?"
17180Looks a trustworthy specimen, does n''t he?
17180Looks like a plant, does n''t it?
17180Looks like the end of the blinkin''cage, do n''t it?
17180Lunch at one- fifteen, I take it?"
17180Mine?
17180Mr. Cleek, see''em?
17180Mr. Narkom,"he turned round and surveyed the Superintendent with mirthful eyes,"what about these bank robberies now, eh?
17180Mr. Wynne-- gone-- out_ there_?"
17180Mr. Wynne--_gone_?
17180Must I arrest him now, and take him off to the public jail to await trial, or will you give him a sporting chance?"
17180Narkom?"
17180Never mind, we''ll make it soon, wo n''t we?"
17180Nice little toy, is n''t it?"
17180Now then, all there?"
17180Now we''ll be off to old London again-- eh, Lake?
17180Now, I wonder where those two are bound for?"
17180Now, what in blazes--?"
17180Oh, Nigel dearest--_why_ did you not tell me that they were detectives, these friends of yours who were coming to visit?
17180Or was this Dacre Wynne''s abominable idea of a revenge for having stolen''Toinette''s heart away from him?
17180Or you, Stark?"
17180Ow''ll to- morrow evening suit?"
17180Rather undershot, too, I believe?
17180Remember how heart- broken you were at sixteen, when she turned her rather wayward affections to me?
17180Remember the man Bill Jones, and his little pal Sammie Robinson, from Jamaica?"
17180Remember?"
17180Sea- faring, I take it?"
17180See his eyes to- night?
17180See them tubings over there?
17180See''em?
17180Seein''the master ternight, ai n''t we, sir?"
17180Seems pretty well closed up for the night, does n''t it?
17180Seems sort er funny, do n''t it?
17180Shall I show him up?"
17180Shall I tell him?"
17180Shall us bring him along too?
17180Should he go or should n''t he?
17180Shows what asses we human beings are, does n''t it?
17180Sir Nigel, I ask you, is n''t our friend''s make- up the perfection of the-- er-- elderly man- about- town?"
17180So he did n''t come round to your place then?
17180So they were trading with Belgium, were they?
17180So this question of the Frozen Flame was as urgent as all that, was it?
17180So you can go to bed in comfort on that, ca n''t you?"
17180Some distance, is n''t it, Doctor?"
17180Some picture, is n''t it?"
17180Some sort of fair or other?
17180Soon catch on to it, do n''t yer?"
17180Surely it must be traced who used this revolver, who fired the shot from it?"
17180Surely you know the story?"
17180That kind of a devil dares anything.... How''s your uncle, dear?
17180That satisfy you?"
17180That your man?"
17180That''s fixed, then, ai n''t it?
17180That''s your man, Dollops, is n''t it, Headland?
17180The door been left open, eh?
17180The epitome of prehistoric selfishness, is it not?
17180The expression of your face so plainly said,''What right has he to go meddling in another man''s affairs like this?''
17180The ground about it is as marshy as ever, and my own footprint is perfectly clear.... What the dickens do you make of it, eh?"
17180The men have been up from the local morgue, have n''t they?"
17180The next thing to consider is-- what the devil has a common sailor or factory- hand to do with a chap like Dacre Wynne?
17180The path of Law and Justice is by no means an easy one to tread, is it?
17180The reason why I mistrusted the story of the revolver?
17180The revolver is of French make, is it not?
17180The signature is yours?"
17180Then I reckon you means the barn about a quarter of a mile up the road toward the village?"
17180Then can you tell me how he finds time to run down here at leisure and visit you?
17180Then may I ask why you did not immediately report this matter to the rest of the party, or to the police?"
17180Then you think Borkins himself is guilty?"
17180Then:"But it was_ your_ revolver he used, Miss Brellier?
17180Then:"Notice anything, Dollops?"
17180There is no one you know of who could have heard-- and not spoken?"
17180There was a woman-- oh, I need n''t go into these family things, in a place like this, need I?...
17180This last affair took place at Hendon, during the evening of Saturday last-- the sixteenth, was n''t it?
17180Those flames, eh?
17180Tony West, eh?
17180Understand?"
17180Very clever, is n''t it?"
17180Want to know what those flames are, eh?"
17180Was he going insane?
17180Was it much hidden, Petrie?
17180Was n''t I there, that night, with you?
17180Was this close, uncomfortable companionship of the spirit to be forced on him again?
17180We had a dog who was hurt-- you remember Franco,''Toinette?
17180We would n''t have chanced taking them on if we had n''t been so short- handed, but... you''re sure of them, eh?"
17180We''ll be''ere and grateful for yer''elp.... Wot''s this abaht a murder?
17180We''ve a good four miles''walk ahead of us, and-- what was that?"
17180We''ve been out searching for Wynne, and I--""_ Been out?_""Yes, across the Fens.
17180Well, had n''t he better take''em downstairs and give''em a stiff whisky- and- soda?
17180Well, it seems to be getting dusk rapidly, Sir Nigel, what about those flames now, eh?
17180Well, my dear Mr. Lake, finding your part a bit too much for you?"
17180Well, wot if there ai n''t?
17180Were n''t such a rough night after all, was it, sir?"
17180Were they-- very awful?"
17180What I wants ter know is--''ow do we get out of this charmin''little country seat?
17180What abaht it, now?
17180What about Tuesday?
17180What about a round of cards, boys, till the time is up?"
17180What business was he up to?
17180What chance had he of a future now-- with Cleek against him?
17180What could it mean, but one thing?
17180What d''you make of it?"
17180What did it mean?
17180What did you learn at the War Office?"
17180What do you make of it, old chap?"
17180What do you make of it?"
17180What do you think?"
17180What fool let him go?
17180What happened?"
17180What has the Frozen Flame to do with all this?
17180What if Collins had met with the same fate as Dacre Wynne?
17180What in Heaven''s name''s the matter?
17180What is it you have to say, sir?"
17180What is it, Petrie?"
17180What is it, my pocket guide- book?"
17180What is it?
17180What more natural, then, than that this human fiend should endeavour to shape even this thing to his own ends?
17180What on earth--?
17180What reason?
17180What say you?"
17180What secret did they hide?
17180What sort of a fool would I be to believe it?
17180What sort of a friend was he, anyway?
17180What the dickens was it, anyhow?
17180What then were these"Frozen Flames"?
17180What was a mere coroner''s jury to that possibility?
17180What was the matter with him?
17180What were those fiendish flames, anyhow, that men disappeared completely, leaving neither sight nor sound?
17180What you think, Lake?"
17180What''re sailormen wantin''wi''clorth- makin''and''ammering''tin- pots?
17180What''s that you say?
17180What''s that?"
17180What''s the blooming mystery?
17180What''s the shortest w''y, Borkins, me beauty?"
17180What''s this?
17180What''s yer names again?
17180What''s your idea, now?"
17180What''s your opinion of''em?
17180What''s your plan of action?"
17180What_ are_ those flames, and where do they come from?
17180What_ are_ those flames, anyway?
17180When you''ve discovered that, you''ll have got half way to the truth, and the rest will follow as a matter of course.... What''s that, Mr. Narkom?
17180Where are your quarters?"
17180Where did you say, Merriton?
17180Where on earth are we?
17180Where''s your master?"
17180Who can tell?
17180Who knows but that it is not the same kind as lie now in this deadly little thing here in my hand?
17180Who''ll tell us?"
17180Who''s a- comin''now?
17180Who''s that?"
17180Who''s to stop me?"
17180Whose?...
17180Why?"
17180Why?"
17180Will Mr. Stark kindly come forward?"
17180With all your fine secrets?
17180Wo n''t you sit down?"
17180Wonder if there''d be any chance of me lending a hand?"
17180Wot brought yer dahn''ere?
17180Would Nigel be able to get through it?
17180Wynne?"
17180Wynne?"
17180Wynne?"
17180Yer did n''t mean the master of this plyce goes and ships electrical fittin''s and such- like out to Belgium in_ fishin''_ boats-- strite, eh?"
17180Yes-- horrible, is n''t it?
17180Yet how was he to know that the man would try to fix a murder on him, himself?
17180You Merriton?
17180You are going to settle down to it altogether, then?"
17180You bought it abroad?"
17180You can manage to put him up somewhere, I suppose?
17180You can remember?
17180You can swear to this statement as far as your part in it is concerned, Doctor Bartholomew?"
17180You can vouch for it?
17180You can vouch for their reliability to keep their mouths shut, Dobbs?
17180You coming along?"
17180You did n''t know that, then?
17180You did n''t know they were Cleek and his man, did you?
17180You found''i m?"
17180You have made enquiries?"
17180You men can keep your mouths shut?"
17180You understand?"
17180You will?"
17180You''ll help me, Dollops, wo n''t you?
17180You''re not trying to intimate that_ I_ killed him, are you?
17180Your uncle_ did_ kill the dog Franco with it?
17180Yours or Merriton''s?
17180_ Gawd!_ are you a devil?"
17180belongs to you, I take it?"
17180but the chaps wot made this bloomin''tube did their job fair, did n''t they?
17180gives yer the fair creeps, do n''t it?"
17180here''s a turning, and the question is, shall we go straight on, or turn?"
17180it''s good to smell the fresh air again-- eh, Dollops?
17180lunch ready?
19672''Is it you, Frances?'' 19672 A crime?
19672Ah, yes; and has that mystery ever arrived at a solution?
19672Ah,he said, in a voice a little hoarse;"and she is well?"
19672All right, Sam?
19672An accident?
19672And assented to it?
19672And did you not like it-- yes? 19672 And dinner?"
19672And do you think you succeeded?
19672And from there to Etretat?
19672And he lives here?
19672And his wife is living?
19672And is she full?
19672And left you waiting for her?
19672And she thought a great deal of him?
19672And that was all?
19672And that''s all you can tell me?
19672And the date June 10th?
19672And the hat?
19672And the money?
19672And the young lady-- in her I conceived a great interest, even though I did not see her-- how is she?
19672And there was a great deal of blood?
19672And they are at home now?
19672And walked past you?
19672And was quite well?
19672And went down the same street?
19672And what color was it?
19672And what is the color of that piece?
19672And what sort of looking woman is she?
19672And what time did she return?
19672And what was that?
19672And what was that?
19672And what was your object in bringing me here this evening?
19672And when she asked for Mr. Holladay, did she use the words''my father,''as your evidence would suggest?
19672And when the news of her father''s death reached her, how did she bear it?
19672And who was it entered?
19672And you are going to search for her?
19672And you are intimately acquainted with his affairs?
19672And you say she looked very ill?
19672And you start for France to- morrow?
19672And you stated, too, I believe, that you could have heard no sound of an altercation in the private office, had one occurred?
19672Are there others?
19672Are your mistress''s handkerchiefs marked in any way?
19672Before I go,he said,"may I ask what you intend doing, sir?"
19672Before Miss Holladay''s birth, then?
19672But Frances did not see them again?
19672But after you find her,she asked,"what will you do with her?"
19672But did n''t Godfrey get it out of you?
19672But how about the note, Mr. Lester? 19672 But in that glance, Mr. Rogers, did you see nothing unusual-- nothing which suggested to your mind that possibly it might not be Miss Holladay?"
19672But is Miss Holladay cleared?
19672But is she ill?
19672But she did n''t seem vexed with you?
19672But still heavy enough to conceal her face?
19672But suppose we ca n''t do it, Lester?
19672But what for?
19672But who was it pursued us up Broadway?
19672But why did n''t you let him go farther?
19672But why should they bother with a prisoner at all? 19672 But would you have thought it probable?"
19672But you know the date of her birth?
19672But you saw her gown?
19672But you''re quite sure it was Miss Holladay?
19672But you, Mistair Lester,he was saying,"how does it occur that you also are going to France?
19672But, about Miss Holladay?
19672But,I began, quickly, then stopped; should I set him right?
19672But,and he hesitated again,"I had understood that-- that----""That it was easier?
19672Ca n''t do it?
19672Can you spare me Lester?
19672Could anyone pass without your seeing him?
19672Could entrance be had by the windows?
19672Could the child have been born here and no record made of it?
19672Did n''t I tell you? 19672 Did n''t you tell him what was in the note?"
19672Did you get Miss Holladay''s signature to that conveyance?
19672Did you hear any sound of conversation, or any unusual noise of any kind?
19672Did you not think that peculiar?
19672Did you notice anything unusual in her appearance when she came back?
19672Did you notice anything unusual in her demeanor when she returned?
19672Did you notice her face? 19672 Do with her?
19672Do you all concur in it?
19672Do you always keep them barred?
19672Do you mean to tell me, Mr. Lester,he questioned,"that you have n''t been spending the evening with Jim Godfrey, of the_ Record_?"
19672Do you mean----?
19672Do you often suffer attacks of that sort?
19672Do you recognize this one?
19672Do you remember the gown your mistress wore yesterday afternoon?
19672Do you think I''m too timid?
19672Doctor,I queried,"how far is it safe to indulge this sick man?
19672Does she resemble Miss Holladay?
19672Does she understand the-- the necessity?
19672Does your mistress possess any handkerchiefs that resemble this one?
19672Even if we offend her?
19672Family affection?
19672For instance-- why did they trouble to keep her prisoner?
19672Fortunate? 19672 Get it out of me?"
19672Get the story from Thompson, will you?
19672Godfrey?
19672Had Mr. Holladay''s office any other door?
19672Has M. Martigny left the ship yet?
19672Has the coroner arrived yet?
19672Have I been a satisfactory entertainer?
19672Have n''t you a cheaper room, Madame Jourdain?
19672Have you any witnesses to summon, sir?
19672Have you arrived at a verdict, gentlemen?
19672He has advised rest and quiet?
19672He''ll be present at the examination, then?
19672He''s still confined to his bed?
19672Her condition? 19672 Her mother came after her?"
19672Her words, I think, were,''Is Mr. Holladay engaged at present?''
19672His infirmity?
19672How could it be an accident? 19672 How could you succeed?"
19672How far is Les Ifs from here?
19672How is Martigny, doctor?
19672How long have they been vacant?
19672How long have you been living in America?
19672How long was she gone?
19672How''s your other patient-- the one who came aboard last?
19672I am?
19672If there are any further developments,added the doctor, as he opened the door,"will you let me know?
19672Is it a good story?
19672Is it a man''s or a woman''s handkerchief?
19672Is it not so, Mistair Lester?
19672Is it?
19672Is she present?
19672Is that the handkerchief?
19672Is the one on the second floor, back, at our disposal yet, Célie?
19672Is there any lettering on the door?
19672Is there no way that we can make sure?
19672Is this the knife?
19672Is this your verdict, gentlemen?
19672Is your office well lighted?
19672It is also the fault of our police that it is too fond of the newspapers, of posing before the public-- it is a fault of human nature, is it not?
19672It seems rather a wild- goose chase, does n''t it? 19672 It was Miss Holladay''s voice?"
19672It was not dark green? 19672 It''s a disease of the heart?"
19672Martigny? 19672 Martigny?"
19672May I have one word with you, sir?
19672May I see_ La Savoie''s_ passenger list?
19672Miss Holladay asked for me, then?
19672Miss Holladay then came out?
19672Miss Holladay? 19672 Monsieur Fingret, who is that man?"
19672Monsieur Fingret,he asked,"are you acquainted with a man by the name of Pierre Bethune?"
19672Monsieur then wishes a lodging?
19672Mr. Holladay and his wife were very happy together, were n''t they?
19672Mr. Holladay thought a great deal of her?
19672Mr. Holladay was with his wife at the time?
19672Mr. Rogers,I began,"you''ve been having some trouble with your eyes, have n''t you?"
19672Must I order lunch for Miss Holladay?
19672Mâitre Fingret?
19672No?
19672No?
19672Nor any intimate friends?
19672Nothing serious, I hope?
19672Nothing wrong with your mistress?
19672Now, Mr. Rogers, how long a time elapsed after the departure of the woman before you went back into the inner office?
19672Now, frankly, Mr. Rankin,I asked,"if you were in my place, would you tell?"
19672On which side?
19672Or Jasper Martigny?
19672Or, better still, have a meal ready for you in half an hour? 19672 Sent them?"
19672Shall I bring you something?
19672Sharp, was it?
19672She has a physician, of course?
19672She was born abroad?
19672She''s your patient, is n''t she? 19672 So it was you,"I gasped,"who chased us up Broadway?"
19672So that anyone entering or leaving the private office must necessarily pass by your desk?
19672So that, even if she were not acquainted with the place, she might still have seen where to go?
19672So you could not see your visitor''s face with absolute clearness?
19672Some change of demeanor, perhaps; of expression?
19672Sorry? 19672 Still he was able to attend to business?"
19672Suppose it were assigned to you to solve it,he asked,"how would you set about it?"
19672That is, she will be placed in prison?
19672The name, I think you said, was Holladay?
19672The note?
19672The part?
19672Then I will make bold to ask you-- have you made any-- what you call-- theory of the crime?
19672Then she''s been gone ten days?
19672There was nothing to mar their happiness that you know of? 19672 There were no other relatives, were there?"
19672There''s no doubt in your mind that she was really expecting him?
19672There''s no tendency to mental disease in the family?
19672This is Mr. Lester, is n''t it?
19672Too late? 19672 Was she ill when you dressed her?"
19672Was your mistress away from home yesterday afternoon?
19672We?
19672Weary me? 19672 Well, I_ was_ a fool, was n''t I?"
19672Well, Thompson,demanded Mr. Royce,"what''s the trouble now?"
19672Well, how would the Studio suit?
19672Well, in that case?
19672Well, when you answered her question in the negative, did she hesitate before entering the private office?
19672Well?
19672Well?
19672Well?
19672Were you at your father''s office yesterday afternoon, Miss Holladay?
19672What do you ask for the apartment?
19672What is it? 19672 What is the position of your desk in Mr. Holladay''s office?"
19672What would a boy''s description be worth? 19672 Whatever made you suspect?"
19672When do you leave for the country?
19672When does she go, sir?
19672When your mistress left the carriage the day you drove her to Washington Square, did you notice which street she took after she left the square?
19672Where?
19672Which is his real name?
19672Which room has he?
19672Why did you change your mind?
19672Why do you suppose they went to the hospital so early the next morning?
19672Why, I thought she thought so much of you?
19672Why, what''s the matter?
19672Why, what''s wrong with that?
19672Why,I stammered, startled by his vehemence,"are you strong enough?
19672Why,he began,"who wrote this?"
19672Why?
19672Will you describe Mr. Holladay''s position?
19672Will you go to Paris?
19672Will you have the kindness to come and look at the room?
19672Will you need my help?
19672Will you not try one?
19672Will you take him this card and say that I''d like to see him at once, if possible?
19672Will you take the good news to Miss Holladay?
19672Will you verify the amount?
19672Wo n''t you sit down a minute, doctor?
19672Would n''t I better get you a glass of brandy? 19672 Would n''t you better see him again?"
19672Wrong? 19672 Yes-- so you saw her face distinctly when she entered?"
19672Yes?
19672Yes?
19672You believe, then that Miss Holladay was forcibly abducted?
19672You belong to the detective force, then?
19672You comprehend French-- no?
19672You deserve a vacation, do n''t you? 19672 You did n''t think it necessary to confine her, I trust?"
19672You have been here for that length of time, then?
19672You have lodgings to let, I suppose, on the floors above?
19672You have rooms to let?
19672You looked at her attentively?
19672You say she sent down word that she was ill?
19672You say this other maid was a stranger?
19672You say you did n''t see the face of that woman who left your office yesterday afternoon?
19672You think you can?
19672You were there, then?
19672You will bring Miss Holladay to us?
19672You will pardon me,said my hearer,"but in what way did you make sure that they were the women you desired?"
19672You wo n''t mind my using it?
19672You''re getting better?
19672You''re going to Paris, are n''t you, Miss Kemball?
19672You''re going to put Miss Holladay on the stand, I suppose----"And expose her to all this?
19672You''re quite sure your mistress wore a dark red gown yesterday afternoon?
19672You''re quite sure? 19672 Your rights?"
19672_ Is_ there another way, Lester?
19672_ Is_ there another way? 19672 _ La Lorraine_ sails day after to- morrow, I believe?"
19672Above all, why should he seek to implicate his employer''s daughter?
19672Above all, why should he so expose himself?
19672Admitted that I was on their track, how much nearer success had I got?
19672All this is plausible, is n''t it?"
19672And he was following us, hoping-- what?
19672And how explain the fact that no record had been made of Frances Holladay''s birth?
19672And, above all, what was the plot?
19672And, candidly, what chance of success could we have, fighting in the dark against this accomplished scoundrel?
19672And, supposing she were not insane, what legal right had we to interfere with her?
19672Are you strong enough to talk?"
19672As for me, I was ransacking my memory-- where had I heard that voice before?
19672As to the lover theory, did not the light in her eyes which had greeted our junior disprove that, at once and forever?
19672Beyond that?
19672But if he knew so much, why did he not himself come forward?
19672But if you are so ill, why did you attempt the voyage?
19672But look at that clump of houses yonder-- aren''t they picturesque?"
19672But that was nonsense, for Mrs. Holladay had taken her into her life, had loved her---- And Martigny?
19672But then, again, if he were an accomplice, why should he imperil himself by writing this note, for it could very probably be traced?
19672But what cause could there be for a quarrel so bitter, so fierce, that it should lead to such a tragedy?
19672But what conceivable motive could he have for lying?
19672But what could his object be?
19672But what had been his part in the affair?
19672But why?
19672But you understand?"
19672Could they both be illegitimate?
19672Could this be the writer of the mysterious note?
19672Could you let me have three or four clerks to visit the various stables of the city?
19672Did I not already know all that Madame Jourdain could tell me?
19672Did she seem perturbed?"
19672Did you recognize the knife?"
19672Do n''t you see how the note helps to prove it?"
19672Do you know it, with its bright days and its soft nights, murmurous with voices?
19672Do you understand?
19672Even if I did find them, would I be in time to checkmate Martigny?
19672Even if he wished to implicate her, how could he have known the color of her gown?
19672Fitch?"
19672For how could such a likeness possibly exist?
19672Had I done well?
19672Had he deemed us not worth watching?
19672Had he really gone to the hotel?
19672Had he, indeed, seen through my artifice?
19672Had the weight of the secret proved too great for her?
19672Had they better be notified?"
19672Has he any relatives here in New York?"
19672Has it occurred to you that Mees Holladay truly might have visited her father, and that his death was not a murder at all, but an accident?"
19672Has there been anything in your knowledge of Mr. Holladay or his business to suggest the idea of suicide?"
19672Have we the right to follow her against her evident desire?"
19672He had some more bad news, I suppose?"
19672Her gown?
19672Her mother?
19672Holladay?--why have they abducted his daughter?--what is their plot?"
19672How about it, doctor?"
19672How are the police to find that boy?
19672How could a man be stabbed accidentally in the neck?
19672How could one escape it?
19672How could we control her?
19672How could we prevent his taking it?
19672How did he know the color of her gown?
19672How did the writer of the note know of Rogers''s infirmity?"
19672How did you accomplish it?"
19672How did you know?"
19672How do you explain it, doctor?"
19672How else can you explain her flight?"
19672How else explain this flight?
19672How explain my possession of it?
19672How great a time would that occupy?"
19672How had they caused her change of attitude toward him?
19672How had this woman eluded the police?
19672How long had you been there before the outer door opened?"
19672How long would it take?
19672How_ could_ anyone else know it when Rogers himself did n''t know it?
19672I had always rather prided myself upon my judgment of human nature-- had I erred so egregiously in this instance?
19672I hope you''ve not found it tiresome?"
19672I knew that they had sailed for France, but for what part of France?
19672I recognize, of course, how undesirable it is that she should be subjected to any further notoriety, but is there any other way?"
19672I suppose he''s been worrying about something?"
19672I''d be mighty glad to have you, but do you think you ought?
19672I''ll have a letter of credit prepared at once, so that you may not want for money-- shall we say five thousand to start with?"
19672If it was n''t a murder, why should the woman, whoever she was, be frightened?
19672If she is thought guilty what will occur?"
19672If she were innocent, would she not naturally wish to speak in her own behalf?
19672If we had lost the trail thus early in the chase, what hope was there that we should ever run down the quarry?
19672In attempting to blind him, had I merely uncovered my own plan?
19672In that case, would she not naturally have chosen a green gown, since she never wore green?"
19672Is it not so?
19672Is not the fate ironical?"
19672Is our Mephisto abroad yet?"
19672It was dark in the office, was it not, at five o''clock yesterday afternoon?"
19672It wo n''t be necessary, will it, to bother her with any details of business?
19672Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,''does n''t it?"
19672Lester?"
19672Lester?"
19672Lester?"
19672Lester?"
19672Lester?"
19672Lester?"
19672Lester?"
19672Lester?"
19672Lester?"
19672Lester?"
19672Let me see-- what was the date?"
19672May I stay?"
19672Miss Holladay would very properly resent any more publicity----""But,"objected Mr. Graham,"if we do n''t call in the police, how are we to find her?
19672Mr. Holladay had been dictating to you?"
19672Now, after Miss Holladay entered the inner office, how long did she remain there?"
19672Now, who is it?"
19672Now, who was the woman?
19672Or had he watched?
19672Or had she merely fallen under the influence of the woman who was guilty?
19672Or had they really abducted her?
19672Or was this a trap he had prepared for me?
19672Or-- and my cheeks burned at the thought!--was he so well intrenched that he had no fear of me?
19672Remember, it is the land of the free----""And the home of the license, is it not?"
19672Rogers?"
19672Royce?"
19672Royce?"
19672Royce?"
19672Royce?"
19672Royce?"
19672Royce?"
19672Shall I enumerate them?"
19672Shall I get another?"
19672Shall I proceed?"
19672She had remained, then-- but why?
19672Should I inform Mr. Royce of this new development?
19672Should I use the photograph?
19672Singleton?"
19672So what remains?"
19672Still, I asked myself, was it to blame?
19672Suppose they do find him?
19672Suppose they had gone to Paris, as seemed most probable, how could I ever hope to find them there?
19672Suppose we should be unsuccessful?
19672Supposing she was insane, what should we do with her when we found her?
19672Supposing there had been a quarrel, an estrangement, would not she naturally have used those very words?
19672That fits the case, does n''t it?"
19672That she should feel any affection for Frances Holladay seemed absurd, and yet, how else explain the note?
19672The elder one I knew at a glance-- the younger-- my heart leaped as I looked at her-- was it Miss Holladay?
19672The illegitimate daughter might, of course, impersonate Miss Holladay; but who was the elder woman?
19672They did n''t shrink from striking down her father?"
19672They would disembark at Havre-- how was I, reaching Havre, two weeks later, to discover which direction they had taken?
19672Think again-- have you no recollection of them or of the event?"
19672This, certainly, seemed to discredit the theory that Holladay had ever had a liaison with any other woman, and yet what other theory was tenable?
19672Thompson?"
19672Too late for what, Mistair Lester?
19672Was anyone to blame for thinking her guilty after hearing the evidence?
19672Was he able to follow?
19672Was he on the train with us?
19672Was it a heavy one?"
19672Was it necessary?
19672Was it not imprudent?"
19672Was it the note?
19672Was it wise to tempt Providence?
19672Was our trip to Etretat to be of no avail?
19672Was she really mentally deranged?
19672Was there really danger of foul play-- danger that she would fall a victim, as well as her father?
19672Were his plans so well laid that it mattered not to him whither I went or what I did?
19672What cause?
19672What could a man in his condition hope to accomplish?
19672What dark, intricate problem was this that confronted us?
19672What did he hope to gain?
19672What did he want with them?
19672What did it contain?"
19672What interest have you in the matter?"
19672What intricate, dreadful crime was this which he was planning?
19672What is it you fear for her?"
19672What need was there for us to fear him?
19672What sudden dislike could her mistress have conceived against this inoffensive and devoted creature?
19672What was he striving for?
19672What was his connection with these women?
19672What was in the note?
19672What was the matter with Singleton?
19672What was the new piece of evidence?
19672What was the plot?
19672What was their aim?
19672What was this great stake, for which he risked so much?
19672What was to prevent him, the moment he stepped ashore, wiring to his confederates, warning them, telling them to flee?
19672What witnesses could we have?
19672What would the third be?
19672What''s the matter?"
19672When does she expect to leave?"
19672When should messieurs be expected to return?
19672When you drove her out on the 28th-- the day she brought back the maid-- where did she go?"
19672Where did he take you?"
19672Where do you stay at Paris?"
19672Where was Frances Holladay?
19672Where was my premonition, now?
19672Where would it be best for me to search for them?"
19672Where would they find the residence of the registrar of births?
19672Who was Martigny?
19672Who was he?
19672Who was the writer of the note?
19672Who were these people, I asked myself again, who dared to play so bold and desperate a game?
19672Who were these people?
19672Who would have suspected him?
19672Why ca n''t we drive, Lester?
19672Why had she fled?
19672Why should her parents have wished to conceal it?
19672Why should she relapse?"
19672Why?
19672Will you help me?"
19672Will you not have one?"
19672Will you tell me how she was dressed?"
19672Without her----""Well, without her?"
19672Wo n''t you take pity on a poor landsman and talk to him?"
19672Wo n''t you tell us what it was?"
19672Would I prove a match for my enemy?
19672Would he believe it was a murder simply because it so appeared?
19672Would messieurs have their coffee now?
19672Would n''t it be better to employ half a dozen private detectives, and put them under your supervision?
19672Would they not naturally have been anxious to see that it was properly recorded?
19672Would you care to hear?
19672Yet why should he lie?
19672Yet, perhaps, she had not started-- she must have remained in town, else how could that note have been sent to us?
19672You can do that easily, ca n''t you?"
19672You have the address?"
19672You know her well?"
19672You must follow them to France-- but where in France will you look for them?
19672You remember it''s Gaboriau who advises one always to distrust the probable?"
19672You too?
19672You_ will_ help, wo n''t you?"
19672he cried, his nerves giving way for an instant,"do you suppose I''d make an assertion like that if I was n''t absolutely sure?"
17866Ai n''t this- here an interestin''item, now, Miss Lawrence?
17866And I can not prove otherwise, can I?
17866And Privates Skinner and Jameson.... Well, where is it?
17866And are n''t you forgetting Stephen Gresham and his friends?
17866And can you tell me if the big Whitneyville Colt was still there, then?
17866And has n''t returned it yet? 17866 And how about writing materials?
17866And how much would an investigation cost me? 17866 And just why, might I ask, did Mrs. Fleming think it in order to employ a detective in a matter like that?"
17866And the other?
17866And what do you suppose Rivers did with this little item of information? 17866 And what do you think, Walters?
17866And what''s your own attitude?
17866And which one do you like for the murderer? 17866 And you believed that?"
17866And you denied it, giving them the impression that Mrs. Fleming had?
17866And you did n''t consider the possibility of suicide?
17866And you say Mr. Gresham has been completely cleared of any suspicion of complicity in this murder?
17866And you think Gresham and his friends will offer enough to force him to pay the full amount?
17866And you think he''s actually willing to pay that much?
17866And you''re a business man? 17866 Anything new?"
17866Are n''t they the damnedest ever seen, though?
17866Are n''t we ever going to have any luck?
17866Are n''t you?
17866Are you afraid people will start calling that a murder, too?
17866Are you sure?
17866Arnold Rivers? 17866 Bring me that.36 Walch revolver, will you?"
17866But are you sure of what Goode''s been doing?
17866But ca n''t I appeal to your sense of fairness? 17866 But good Lord, why?"
17866But who else could have done it?
17866But why did he tell me that story, and why did he shoot at us when we were together?
17866But why necessarily you? 17866 But you are here only as an arms- expert?"
17866But.... See here, if you''re investigating the death of Mr. Fleming, how can that be kept in the background?
17866Colonel Rand; do n''t you think that Fred Dunmore could have shot Lane Fleming, and then have gone to his room and waited until I came downstairs?
17866Could Igoe verify that?
17866Counting Germans?
17866Did Arnold Rivers actually tell you he''d pay twenty- five thousand dollars for the collection?
17866Did Rivers actually tell you he''d pay twenty- five?
17866Did he have it in his hands?
17866Did my secretary tell you I was making an investigation?
17866Did n''t that have anything to do with it?
17866Did n''t you know? 17866 Did the coroner or the doctor choke on calling it an accident?"
17866Did they get the number?
17866Did this fellow cash in on it?
17866Did you get the one the coroner had? 17866 Did you know about it?"
17866Did you look back of the books in the library?
17866Did you tell them that?
17866Do n''t you remember?
17866Do you consider ten thousand dollars to be a serious offer?
17866Do you think it might be possible that Rivers bumped Fleming off, in spite of his getting killed later?
17866Do you want to talk to him?
17866Does that answer your question?
17866Does your grandmother make patchwork quilts? 17866 Dot, does n''t he look just like Clark Gable in_ Gone with the Wind_?
17866Eh?
17866For instance, what about Gresham? 17866 For sure?"
17866Get many of the pistols listed, Colonel?
17866Good Lord, Jeff, where did you ever hear a yarn like that?
17866Good heavens, you certainly did n''t suspect a prominent and respected citizen like Mr. Rivers of receiving stolen goods?
17866Has Pierre a lawyer?
17866Have n''t you got your stuff packed yet, Jeff?
17866Have the police any idea--?
17866Have you been withholding information from me?
17866Have you many Colts, now?
17866Have you mixed the cocktails? 17866 Have you seen this collection before?"
17866He is n''t?
17866He.... You mean he''s dead?
17866Hello, Rheba; is Tip available?
17866Hey, Sarge, is there any way into the house from here?
17866How do you like this one?
17866How do you think this would work?
17866How long, then, will it be before it will be said, by all sorts of irresponsible persons, that you are also investigating the death of Lane Fleming?
17866How much did Rivers actually tell you he''d pay? 17866 How much does Mr. Rivers want for this?"
17866How much is Rivers slipping Fred, on the side?
17866How much would you have to have?
17866How soon do you think the pistols will be sold?
17866How''s the whoozis doing?
17866I have about two thousand with you, have n''t I?
17866I hope everything was handled quietly, without any unnecessary publicity? 17866 I mean, you''re not taking any part in the investigation?
17866I suppose he brought you here to show you his treasures?
17866I suppose you''ve gone over the collection already, Jeff?
17866I take it you have begun to doubt that it was an accident?
17866I think, if nobody else wants them, I''ll do just that.... Now, Mr. Rand, what had you intended doing about the collection?
17866I wonder if I could meet your group, say tomorrow evening? 17866 I wonder if you could spare him to help me a little?
17866If he did n''t sell Rivers the pistols, why would he kill him?
17866If it''s the way you think, this guy wo n''t dare kill you instantly, will he? 17866 If that makes sense, now...""Ah, do n''t you get it, Kathleen Mavourneen?"
17866If you''re not sleepy, why do n''t you stop at my place and see what''s new? 17866 Is Mr. Rivers in?"
17866Is Sergeant McKenna about?... 17866 Is anybody saying that now?"
17866Is my car still out front?
17866Is that all?
17866Is that rearing its ugly head in public, now?
17866Is there anything in particular you''re interested in, or would you like to just look about?
17866Is this it?
17866Is this the whole thing? 17866 It is?
17866It''ll be a novel reversal of order for you to be billing me for an investigation.... Now, how about the family, as distinct from the company?
17866Jeff, are you investigating Lane Fleming''s death?
17866Jeff, can you spare the time from this work you''re doing at the Flemings''to investigate this Rivers business?
17866Jeff, would it help any if I stayed home, instead of going to church?
17866Just how much more of that sort of thing do you think I''m going to have to weed out of the collection, before I can offer it for sale?
17866Just what sort of skulduggery has been going on? 17866 Know him?"
17866Leech& Rigdon? 17866 Lights on when you got here?"
17866Look here, Gladys; are you satisfied with the way this was handled?
17866Look here, are you kidding?
17866Look here, can you see me, at my home, about two thirty this afternoon? 17866 Made in Germany, about 1870 or''80, about the time arms- collecting was just getting out of the family- heirloom stage, would n''t you say?"
17866Might I ask who''s making this offer?
17866Mr. Rand, is n''t it?
17866Mr. Rand, you certainly do n''t expect them to be able to handle anything like this, do you?
17866Murdered? 17866 My God, do you mean the pistols are worth more than that, even?"
17866My God, is that true?
17866My God, you do n''t think...?
17866Never a dull moment.... Was n''t that sword the awfullest thing you ever saw, though?
17866Nice clean condition; clean it up yourself?
17866No; where''s Karen?
17866No?
17866Nothing you could take to a jury, of course, but mighty good grounds for suspicion.... You think Rivers could have been the fence?
17866Now what in the world gave you an idea like that?
17866Now what was Hump Goode up to?
17866Now, where would he have this stuff stashed?
17866Oh, Colonel Rand, would you? 17866 Oh, well.... How about that- there little amethyst bottle, then?"
17866On your way out from town?
17866One of your operatives, is n''t he?
17866Or did n''t you think I knew?
17866Or do n''t you collect long- arms?
17866Or how did they identify the car?
17866Or the Rappahannock Forge, or the Collier flintlock, or the Hall?
17866Outside of maybe his wife, and the gunsmith who made his fake Walker Colts and North& Cheney flintlocks, who is?
17866Philip, do you think all this didn''t- know- it- was- loaded routine might be an elaborate suicide build- up, either before or after the fact?
17866Polydimensional time, is n''t it? 17866 Really, or just a gag?"
17866Remember, there were a couple of small human figures on each pistol, a knight and a huntsman? 17866 See that thing?"
17866See, Miss Lawrence? 17866 Shall I wrap it for you?"
17866So I only need to bother with what''s on the walls, in this room?... 17866 So that concerns the Rivers murder, does it?
17866So what? 17866 So you think some irate and dyspeptic husband went to the source of his woes?"
17866Something about heredity?
17866Sort of slipped one over on you, did n''t I?
17866Such as?
17866Sure it''s still there? 17866 Surely Mrs. Fleming does n''t think...?"
17866That would do for a murder- motive, very nicely.... What were Fleming''s objections to the merger?
17866The Premix- Foods Flemings?
17866Then how the hell did he get shot?
17866Then who...?
17866Then why,the lawyer demanded,"did Mrs. Fleming employ you?"
17866Then you knew, since yesterday, that he would do this?
17866Then you''re going to drop the investigation?
17866Then you''re not making an investigation?
17866They do?
17866They only identified it as to model and make; they did n''t get the license number... Where did Pierre go, while he was away from here?
17866They''d agreed to take your valuation, had n''t they? 17866 Think Rivers might have gotten the pistols?"
17866Think he left right after he killed Rivers?
17866Think he might have stolen something, and covered up by burning the cards?
17866Think he might need one?
17866Think it might be the Fleming pistols?
17866This fellow who bought it, now; did he see Belden and Haven''s Colt book, when it came out in 1940?
17866Those wheel locks Fleming bought from Arnold Rivers?
17866Tip, do you know anything about this Fleming family, out at Rosemont?
17866Up this road?
17866Want in on it? 17866 Want to bet it has n''t been wiped clean, too?"
17866Want to confess now, or do you insist on a third degree with all the trimmings?
17866Was Gresham at home?
17866Was it the revolver he''d brought home with him?
17866Was n''t it one of those things that killed Lane Fleming?
17866Was n''t there some talk about Whitneyville Walker Colts that had been made out of 1848 Model Colt Dragoons?
17866We can have our drink up there, while Colonel Rand''s looking at the pistols.... Coming with us, Geraldine?
17866Well, are you?
17866Well, do you want me to help you with it?
17866Well, does anybody need a chaser to swallow that?
17866Well, have you thought that it might just be suicide?
17866Well, how about Walters, and the pistols he stole?
17866Well, how much have you been offered, to date?
17866Well, how much more than that do you think Gresham and his crowd will offer?
17866Well, if Rivers was n''t involved somehow, why was he killed?
17866Well, now that the international crisis seems to have been averted, how''s about letting me in on it, too?
17866Well, what do you think of them, Colonel Rand?
17866Well, what happened?
17866Well, who''s in charge of the investigation?
17866Well, would you mind if I called Mr. Goode on the phone?
17866Well, you believe, now, that Rivers had nothing to do with the pistols you say were stolen from the Fleming collection?
17866Well, you did n''t get involved in it, though?
17866Well, your stepdaughters, now; would they also be my clients?
17866Well?
17866Well?
17866Well?
17866Well?
17866What are you writing?
17866What did he burn Fleming with?
17866What did you do?
17866What did you want us to do; give the collection away?
17866What do you collect, or do n''t you specialize?
17866What do you say, Pierre?
17866What do you think it''s really worth?
17866What do you want me to do?
17866What does this do to the Rivers and Fleming murders?
17866What happened?
17866What in hell''s this all about, Jeff?
17866What in the world is there to investigate?
17866What is all this?
17866What is it? 17866 What is this, a stick- up?"
17866What sort of a character is this Farnsworth, anyhow?
17866What sort of jiggery- pokery was Goode up to?
17866What started the hostilities this time?
17866What time was Rivers killed, or has n''t the time been fixed?
17866What was the idea, anyhow? 17866 What was the matter; did n''t Premix want to merge?"
17866What were you looking at?
17866What would you consider a reasonable offer, yourself? 17866 What''s happened now?"
17866What''s he screaming about, Mick?
17866What''s the regular law doing, now that young Jarrett is out?
17866What''s this about Fleming''s butler?
17866What.... What''s the meaning of this, sir?
17866When did he die? 17866 When did it happen?"
17866When did you discover this, Colonel Rand? 17866 When did you first suspect him?"
17866When did you hear about that?
17866Where are you now?
17866Where did you hear that?
17866Where did you hear that?
17866Where''s Walters?
17866Which one was it?
17866While we''re on it, what''s the angle on this butler''s livery I was supposed to bring? 17866 Who buys history, anyhow?"
17866Who else?
17866Who respects him?
17866Who the devil are you?
17866Who was that-- Arnold Rivers?
17866Who''s at Rivers''s now?
17866Who''s out there?
17866Who?
17866Why did n''t you sue hell out of him?
17866Why do n''t you ask her that? 17866 Why do n''t you have the house haunted?
17866Why is n''t it?
17866Why should I investigate the death of Lane Fleming?
17866Why was n''t I told about that?
17866Why, of course... My God, are n''t they there now?
17866Would you know it, if you saw it again?
17866Y''think it might be poisoned?
17866Y''would? 17866 Yeah, is n''t that a dandy?"
17866Yes, and he was plenty burned up, but what could he do? 17866 Yes?
17866Yes?
17866Yes?
17866You are investigating it as such?
17866You are not making any sort of detective investigation?
17866You certainly do n''t take an offer like that seriously?
17866You find anything except what''s here in the shop?
17866You going to be in, say in a couple of hours? 17866 You going to see Gresham and his friends, this evening?"
17866You gun- collectors; you''re like women looking at somebody''s new hat.... Will you stay for dinner with us, Colonel Rand?
17866You have any idea, so far, about who could have killed Rivers?
17866You have n''t had any trouble yet?
17866You have n''t seen anything; you ought to have been here last night... Where is our client, by the way?
17866You have notes? 17866 You know him?"
17866You know that? 17866 You know that?"
17866You know why Olsen says Gresham had it in for Rivers? 17866 You looked around, of course; what do you make of it?"
17866You mean my dislike for firearms?
17866You mean the pistols? 17866 You mean there''s a chance Dad might be suspected?"
17866You mean, he''s been going around starting all these stories about Father committing suicide?
17866You mean, like an inventory?
17866You saw him again this morning? 17866 You say this puts Gresham in the clear?"
17866You say you found Rivers''s body yourself, Colonel Rand?
17866You see anything in that about Fred Dunmore, or any of the other relatives- in- law?
17866You think Walters stole them?
17866You think he''d defend Pierre?
17866You think somebody here-- the servants?
17866You think that''s how it is?
17866You think the murderer locked the door behind him, when he came out of here?
17866You think you can show cause why that revolver should n''t be turned over to the Fleming estate?
17866You want to stick around till this clerk of Rivers''s gets here?
17866You want us to keep an eye on you?
17866You were here last in October,''41, were n''t you?
17866You were taking a bath when you heard the shot, were n''t you?
17866You were talking to Arnold Rivers, this afternoon, about the collection?
17866You''re Colonel Rand? 17866 You''re a member of the Mohawk Club in New Belfast, are n''t you?"
17866You''re not at all satisfied on that point yourself, are you?
17866You''ve read_ Science and Sanity_?
17866_ Ooooooh!_ What in heaven''s name is that thing?
17866_ What?_Nelda fairly screamed.
17866_ What?_Rand barked.
17866A book, or a card- index, or anything like that?"
17866All right if we pull out the bayonet for a close- up of his chest?"
17866Aloud, he said:"Mr. Goode lives nearby, then, I take it?"
17866An''how about them- there salt- cellars, an''that- there knife- box?"
17866And are there many valuable items missing?"
17866And did you get anything out of young Gillis?"
17866And if so, how had he done it?
17866And is there a typewriter available?"
17866And was n''t there something funny about the way Lane Fleming got killed, last December?
17866And why do you use an oily rag?"
17866And why was n''t I notified before?
17866And you?...
17866Are Mr. Varcek and Mr. Dunmore here, yet?"
17866Are you all right?''
17866Are you busy?...
17866Are you going to start work today?"
17866Are you satisfied, in your own mind, that Mr. Fleming was killed accidentally?"
17866Are you working on the Rivers case, too?"
17866Arnold Rivers had been double- crossing Dunmore... or had Dunmore been double- crossing Rivers?
17866Boone''and''Davy Crockett''to prove it?"
17866But Jeff-- four thousand dollars?"
17866But did n''t anybody think there was something odd about that accident, immediately after that contract was signed?"
17866But do you think Humphrey Goode would bring me here to stir up a lot of sleeping dogs that might awake and grab him by the pants- seat?
17866But here; if your stepdaughters are co- owners, what''s my status?
17866But if it turns out that Walters did n''t sell the pistols to Rivers at all, what then?"
17866But suppose he came down and shot Fleming, and then went out in the hall, and made that rumpus outside after locking the door behind him?"
17866But what brings you around to discuss that, now?
17866But what makes you think the Flemings are going to be needing a new butler?
17866But why could n''t the murderer have left the gunroom by that stairway?"
17866But why were you back here bright and early this morning?
17866But why?
17866By Alexander Murdoch, of Doune, was n''t it?"
17866By the way, did Mr. Fleming keep any sort of record of his collection?
17866By the way, where does this fellow Umholtz, the fabricator of spurious Whitneyville Walker Colts, hang out?
17866Coming, Anton?"
17866Could you find time to drop over, sometime this evening?"
17866Did Gladys just get you to come here to appraise and sell the collection, or are you investigating Lane''s death, too?"
17866Did Rand believe that Lane Fleming had really been murdered, and was he investigating Fleming''s death, after all?
17866Did either Varcek or Dunmore express any opinion as to who might have killed Fleming?"
17866Did n''t you know that Rivers was dead, then?"
17866Did you ever get anybody to translate the Gaelic inscription on the barrel?"
17866Did you ever hear any stories about Mrs. Rivers and this young fellow Gillis who works in Rivers''s shop?"
17866Did you have anything to do with Pierre Jarrett''s being arrested?"
17866Did you have anything to do with my son''s being arrested?"
17866Did you learn something, since last evening, that leads you to suspect the same thing?"
17866Did you notice that they had slant eyes?"
17866Did you say homicide?"
17866Did you see what just happened, here?
17866Do I understand, now, that you and the other ladies want cash, and do n''t want the collection peddled off piecemeal?...
17866Do n''t you know?"
17866Do you actually mean that...?"
17866Do you know him?
17866Do you think it was anything else?"
17866Do you think that was why Rivers was killed?
17866Do you want to inflict serious losses on innocent investors merely to avenge one crime?"
17866Do you wish me to ship it to you?...
17866Ever think of that?"
17866Find anything, last night?"
17866Fleming''s?"
17866Fleming?"
17866Fortunately, Mr. Gresham has since been cleared of any suspicion, but--""Who says he''s been cleared?"
17866Fred Dunmore really had killed Arnold Rivers, had n''t he?
17866Goode?"
17866Got the addresses?"
17866Has he had the impudence to try to buy the collection?"
17866Have you told any of the others, yet?"
17866He is?
17866He''ll be finished before long, if you care to wait.... Have you ever been here before?"
17866How did it...?"
17866How do you like Davies, by the way?"
17866How long will it take you to get here?"
17866How much_ is_ Fred getting out of Rivers, anyhow?"
17866How was he cleaning it?"
17866How would you like to give me a letter, vouching for this as the pistol Mr. Fleming killed himself with?
17866How''d it go last night?
17866How''s that?"
17866I mean, that''s not just a guess?"
17866I suppose you wo n''t want to, either?"
17866I wonder if that might n''t be what Rivers died of?
17866I''m glad you told me, though.... Do you think there may be a chance that we can get the collection, now?"
17866I''ve corresponded with MacBride; he specializes in Colts.... You''re the sole owner, I take it?"
17866If Cecil thought he could marry the business, with Rivers out of the way.... You''ll take the case, wo n''t you, Jeff?"
17866If you do n''t have a hangover this morning, will you please come here and look at this thing?"
17866Is n''t that it?"
17866Is that correct?"
17866Is that what it''s about?"
17866Is there any reason, aside from that homemade North& Cheney he sold you, why anybody would think you''d killed him?"
17866It was a blow to me, too, but I''m not letting it throw me.... What were you doing all afternoon?"
17866It wo n''t help him, but it''ll make me feel a lot better.... You will catch him, wo n''t you?"
17866Just like the Rivers case; everybody putting the finger on everybody else...."And have undressed and taken a bath, while he was waiting?"
17866Look here, do you think Anton Varcek could have done it?
17866Might this be relevant to Rivers''s sudden demise?"
17866Now what am I going to do?"
17866Now what sort of malfeasance have you committed?"
17866Now, since he opposed the merger, if he had intended committing suicide, he would have made some other arrangement, would n''t he?
17866Now, what can I do for you?"
17866Now, who are these prospective purchasers you mentioned, and just how prospective, in terms of United States currency, are they?"
17866Olsen?"
17866On approval; certainly.... Of course it''s an original flintlock; I did n''t list it as re- altered, did I?...
17866On the other hand, it might be easy to throw a scare into him.... Stephen, when you were at Rivers''s, were you smoking a cigar?"
17866Or did you think that uproar in the library last evening was just a prearranged act?"
17866Or had he?
17866Or have n''t you picked yours, yet?"
17866Or is there some reason why he does n''t want to call attention to the fact that Fleming''s death is what makes the merger possible?"
17866Or was it just twenty- five thousand dollars?
17866Or what, if anything, had been stolen?
17866Rand?"
17866Rand?"
17866Remember that big Whitneyville Walker, in original condition?
17866Remember the big sales in the twenties?...
17866Remember the pair of Cominazo flintlocks illustrated in Pollard''s_ Short History of Firearms_?
17866Shall I call him and find out?"
17866Shall I go mix the cocktails now?"
17866Shall we go in?"
17866So he backed out?"
17866Somebody had stolen ten-- or was it twenty- five-- thousand dollars''worth of old pistols?
17866Such as, and who''s been spreading them?"
17866Suppose she''s satisfied that it really was an accident; would I want to start her worrying and imagining things?"
17866Ten minutes later, Ritter ushered in Humphrey Goode, and inquired if there would be anything further, sir?
17866That suit you?"
17866That''s his business, is n''t it?"
17866That''s investigation, is n''t it?
17866The question was: had anyone wanted it badly enough to kill Fleming?
17866The round part, where the loads go; the drum, is it?"
17866Then he inquired, idly:"What sort of a pistol was it that Lane Fleming is supposed to have shot himself with?"
17866There''d have been a hell of a row; everybody would have blamed everybody else.... How did you get him to confess, though?"
17866Think you can get any of this stuff back?"
17866This pistol- switch somebody gave you; what''s the idea of that?"
17866This''ll be-- well, how many will it be?"
17866Twenty- five thousand, like he did Colonel Rand?"
17866Wait till she gets Fred alone, Rand thought; I''d hate to be in his spot...."You say you''re acting on Humphrey Goode''s authority?"
17866Want me to let you have it now, or shall I give it to you when I see you?"
17866Want to see it?"
17866Was somebody being framed for something... or was somebody covering up for somebody... or what?
17866Well, I do n''t suppose, in view of the state of relations between you and Rivers, that you had a drink with him, either?"
17866Well, how much would the estate, or you, consider a reasonable offer?"
17866Were you serious when you alluded to the possibility that Lane Fleming had been murdered?"
17866What are you using for a motive?"
17866What authority, if any, have I to do any negotiating?"
17866What changed your mind for you?
17866What did he say?"
17866What did you find?"
17866What do you expect to get out of them, anyhow?"
17866What do you make of these?"
17866What have you been doing, and why do n''t you come out to Rosemont to see us?
17866What the devil, Jeff?"
17866What''s he supposed to be a suspect for?"
17866What''s on the walls, here?"
17866When did you find that out, now?
17866When was the last that any of you saw it?"
17866Where you been?"
17866Where''s the telephone?
17866Which one of them wants you to frame what on which other one?"
17866Who are they?"
17866Who did it?
17866Who was it?
17866Why did n''t Fred come to me with this?"
17866Will you have your coffee now, or later, sir?"
17866Will you please attend to it?"
17866Without giving Goode a chance to gather his wits, he pressed on:"Well, what''s your opinion about Fleming''s death?
17866Would that be possible?"
17866Would that satisfy you?
17866Would that satisfy you?"
17866Would you object to putting up your own car, sir?
17866You believe me?"
17866You can charge the discovery of the body up to our old friend, Anonymous Tip, ca n''t you?"
17866You find out anything about that other matter I was interested in?"

20053The_ Dartaway_? 20053 Then what''s the use of keeping out of sight?
20053Then you have the flying machine here?
20053Then you saw''em?
20053Then you think they carried the girls off for money?
20053Then you''d have to leave Brill, would n''t you?
20053Then you''ll consent?
20053They did n''t hurt you, did they?
20053They kept to this road?
20053Thinking of dad''s western affairs?

20053What did you tell them?
20053What do you say, Dick?
20053What do you suppose he meant by blowing us sky- high?
20053What do you suppose he meant?
20053What do you want?

20053Do n''t you think it''s a good idea?"
20053Do you think he''d show himself?"
20053Do you think the money would bring you happiness, or would it bring only increased cares?
20053Had the engine been damaged after all?
20053He paused to catch his breath,"Where was Ham killed?
20053He was a teacher, was n''t he?"
20053How about the engine, Dick?"
20053How are you?"
20053How could she come down any other way?
20053How did you happen to think of it?"
20053How is that prisoner?"
20053How long would an auto keep to the road without somebody steering?"
20053How much do they cost?"
20053How vas der udder poys?"
20053How was that?"
20053How?"
20053Indeed, Dick is thinking of getting married and settling down, and with such a nice girl as Dora Stanhope, who could blame him?
20053Is he going to start the mill up ag''in?"
20053Is n''t it great, Hans?"
20053Is that any of your business?"
20053It was a terrible trouble, was n''t it?"
20053Kase why?
20053Marley?"
20053Me go up in a airship?
20053Me let the train run over him?"
20053Now what''s to be did?"
20053Now you understand, do n''t you, Aleck?"
20053Now, what''s the news?
20053Oh, Mr. Rover, is anything wrong?"
20053On the tracks?
20053Or, Adventures in Winding Waters Where is there a youth who does not love a gun, a fishing rod, a canoe, or a roaring camp- fire?
20053Or, The Tyler Will If you had been poor and were suddenly left a half- million dollars, what would you do with it?
20053Over what?"
20053Perhaps some very sentimental things were said-- especially between Dick and Dora-- but if so, who can blame them?
20053Sanderson?"
20053Say yes, wo n''t you?"
20053Say, how is we- all to git ober dat stream after dis?"
20053Say, they do n''t belong at Brill, do they?"
20053Say, yo''know wot I think?
20053See that fallen tree?
20053Shorely, Massa Dick, yo''ai n''t gwine to try to fly?"
20053Supposing I give you two dollars for the use of the horses and another dollar for the lantern, how will that strike you?"
20053Tell me where to take him, will you?"
20053The college faculty did it-- they could n''t do less, to one so decorated, or knighted,--which is it, please?
20053The same thought was in the mind of each; should they follow the touring car on foot, or go back for the airship?
20053Then, oh, was n''t it strange?
20053Vot is dot, some kind of a saw- mill alretty?"
20053Vot you do mid him, Sam?"
20053Vot you poys going to git next?"
20053Was it your machine?
20053Was that the name of the craft?"
20053Was this some new trick?
20053We come out ahead every time, do n''t we?"
20053What did it, the auto?"
20053What did the machine do, Tom; go to smash?"
20053What do you want?"
20053What for?"
20053What was her name?"
20053What''s the trouble?"
20053When did she tell you that?"
20053Where did it go to?"
20053Where''s them newspapers?"
20053Who are you?"
20053Who fired those shots?"
20053Who says Dick ca n''t fly?
20053Who told you this?"
20053Who was running it?
20053Who''s doin''it?
20053Why did n''t you stop and find out what we wanted?"
20053Why did n''t you think of that before?
20053Why do n''t you show yourself?"
20053Why not build a raft and float her over instead of bringing her ashore here?
20053Why not go on straight to Fremville?
20053Why should anybody send word that I was hurt, when I was n''t?"
20053Why, do n''t you know that flying in the air is getting to be a common thing these days?
20053Why, do you think it''s that?"
20053Wo n''t you please say yes?"
20053Wot be you a''doin''here in my pasture lot?"
20053Wot kin I do, Massa Tom?"
20053Wot''s that?"
20053Would n''t you like to buy a good shooter?"
20053Would they find the flying machine, and if so, would it be in serviceable condition or so smashed up as to be worthless?
20053Would you like to hear them?"
20053You got excited, did n''t you?
20053You must have come about three miles a minute, eh?
20053came from the three, and then all continued in a chorus:"Did the biplane get here?"
20053got to have gasoline to run''em, eh?"
20053he had you them times, did n''t he?"
20053vot for you do him?"
20053what does this mean?"
20053you going up by der sky in him?"
19523About all?
19523Alone? 19523 Am I good at murder?"
19523Am I not supposed to know you by any other name?
19523And he thought that you were married, that the conditions of the will had been fulfilled?
19523And he went before Mr. Hardy''s return?
19523And he with an influence over Foster, who_ did_ know all about the will?
19523And how''s the dearest little girl in all the world?
19523And the will is not yet filed?
19523And to whom would I play?
19523And you let him get away?
19523And you never mentioned this before?
19523And yourself?
19523And, in case of necessity, how should we prove it?
19523Any answer?
19523Any cigars?
19523Anyone connected with the case?
19523Anything else?
19523Anything more?
19523Are you trying to shield that young woman?
19523But he_ did_ steal a couple of cigars?
19523But her real name?
19523But how could Foster have tampered with your cigars?
19523But how?
19523But the jewels are safe?
19523But you half suspect it was he?
19523But you knew it was this man Cleave?
19523But-- can I leave you like this? 19523 But-- how could he have found out all these things?"
19523But-- if Foster should really be guilty?
19523But-- these roses?
19523But-- what did you think? 19523 But-- what shall we do?
19523But-- what''s the use of thinking of that, if a new will comes to light? 19523 But-- when shall I see you?
19523Capable of murder, is he?
19523Cheated by your marriage?
19523Could n''t she have stayed here with you?
19523Could you gather anything at all?
19523Did I tell you there was such a person?
19523Did Mr. Hardy get very many letters, or anything, through the mail?
19523Did Mr. Hardy know anything of this need?
19523Did Mrs. Fairfax seem anxious to go?
19523Did anyone else come in while she was here, or shortly after, and buy some cigars of this same brand?
19523Did anyone help you to carry off the body-- anyone who might have thrown a cigar away, unlighted?
19523Did he have many visitors?
19523Did he keep the windows closed and locked?
19523Did he say what he''d done with this new document?
19523Did he take them from the table?
19523Did her uncle seem pleased with her marriage?
19523Did his face present any signs of agony?
19523Did it look as if he''d tried to rub it off?
19523Did n''t I tell you not to let anyone enter this house? 19523 Did n''t some Durgin, a nephew of Hardy, claim the body, up at Branchville?"
19523Did n''t you hear what I said?
19523Did n''t you see?
19523Did the Robinsons know of this clause in your Uncle Hardy''s will-- say, two or three weeks ago?
19523Did the niece seem very fond of her uncle?
19523Did you find out where the dead man came from and what he was doing in the village?
19523Did you see what he did in the room?
19523Did you take possession of any property that deceased might have had at his room in Hickwood?
19523Do I know it was murder?
19523Do the Robinsons have their suspicions?
19523Do you expect her soon?
19523Do you know his name?
19523Do you know where he went when he left the house, or yard? 19523 Do you mean there was a man Mr. Hardy was afraid of-- Hiram what?"
19523Do you mean to say it has n''t delayed your reports?
19523Do you mean-- will I play this rôle-- as your husband?
19523Do you require Dorothy to go down in the hall, in her own house, to obtain a moment of privacy?
19523Do you think he knew anything about Mr. Hardy''s will?
19523Do you think you may need me very soon?
19523Dorothy did n''t go back on the boy like that?
19523Dot was mighty fond of me once-- hey, Dot?
19523Drop it?
19523Durgin?
19523For instance, what did you find on the body?
19523Forgotten instructions, have n''t you, Garrison?
19523Foster and Alice will be all right-- but, where did you find it? 19523 Garrison?"
19523Give it up, hey? 19523 Gone away from town?"
19523Good at murder?
19523Got him, have you?--what''s his name?
19523Has it been nothing but a bit of theatricalism, after all?
19523Have I said so, Mr. Wicks, to you, or to anyone else?
19523Have n''t I the right to know a little----"But-- how did they come to be there?
19523Have n''t you seen it in the papers?
19523Have you acquainted her with the fact of your marriage?
19523Have you any idea in the world where the will may be?
19523Have you found out anything concerning them?
19523Have you noticed a tall, light- haired man, with a long mustache, around here at all, either to- day or yesterday?
19523Have you?
19523He has admitted that?
19523He said nothing at all of leaving New York?
19523He''s the only one you suspect?
19523His niece?
19523How are you, Tuttle?
19523How are you?
19523How could he know?
19523How could that be?
19523How dare you come into this house?
19523How did you find out all these things?
19523How did you happen to be there?
19523How did you happen to have them along?
19523How did you know he was here in New York? 19523 How did you know that?"
19523How do you do?
19523How do you do?
19523How do you do?
19523How in the world could my jewels have been in that house and also in my bureau at the very same time?
19523How many times have you been here to report?
19523How much is the book?
19523How much of your time have you spent with your wife since your marriage?
19523How much time will you give me to go?
19523How was the stuff administered?
19523How''s everything with you, little sweetheart?
19523How?
19523I have blundered along with fact and fiction as best I might, but what am I supposed to have done that excites them both to insult me?
19523I mean, from among the neighbors, or-- anyone else?
19523I presume you have something to go on-- something by way of evidence?
19523I suppose you''ll quit your present employment pretty soon?
19523I thought perhaps----"Questions about me?
19523I''m expected to fasten this crime on Scott?
19523If you think I''ll give up my rights as a cousin you''re off, understand?
19523In what possible manner could the man have been poisoned?
19523Is Dorothy not at home?
19523Is he here?
19523Is he up there still?
19523Is my room kept ready, in case of present need like this to- night?
19523Is n''t it possible that Theodore borrowed them, temporarily, and smuggled them back when he came?
19523Is n''t this the only step necessary to take until something arises making others expedient?
19523Is that all you have to say?
19523Is that so?
19523Is that what you are asking?
19523Is that what your company requires?
19523Is that your man?
19523Is there anything I can do but go?
19523Is there anything I could get you, sir?
19523Is there anything more?
19523It is n''t so much detective services I require,she said;"but of course you are widely acquainted in New York-- I mean with young men particularly?"
19523It was a technical truth,he told her;"but is n''t it time you told me everything?
19523Jealousy already, hey?
19523Jerold, you do n''t suspect me?
19523Just common black dirt?
19523Let me ask you first-- is the confidence of a possible client quite sacred with a man in this profession?
19523Marrying for money is much more remunerative, hey?
19523May I pay, say, two hundred dollars now, as a retainer?
19523Miss Root-- is Miss Root in, please?
19523Mr. Garrison, what do you mean by withholding all these facts?
19523Mr. Hardy pointed him out?
19523Mr. Hardy said his niece would inherit his money?
19523Mr. Trowbridge had your uncle''s testament in his keeping?
19523My name is----"How do you do?
19523My word, that''s too bad, sir, ai n''t it?
19523Needs money, does he?
19523Night- walkers?
19523No, he---- Have these questions anything to do with our-- case?
19523Not even you?
19523Not on detective work? 19523 Not one young_ college_ man?"
19523Not one?
19523Not the Fairfax of the Hardy case?
19523Not the kind used by photographers?
19523Not yours?
19523Obscure, ai n''t you?
19523Obscure?
19523Oh, how do you do?
19523On our-- this business?
19523Or do n''t you know?
19523Or, if not, could you prepare it?
19523Order us out of the house? 19523 People?"
19523Perhaps you know her married name?
19523Poison?
19523Rockbeach?
19523Seen what?
19523She brought the cigars, you say, the day of Mr. Hardy''s arrival?
19523She went to- day? 19523 She''s gone-- she''s given up her apartment?"
19523Should I be obliged, in this capacity, to meet your relatives and friends?
19523So, it was_ your_ hired thief who stole it, up at Branchville?
19523So,said Theodore with one more gasp of anger,"you sold me out, did you, Tuttle?
19523Some friend of yours has recently died?
19523Some lawyer, did you say?
19523Some young lady-- who brought them here herself?
19523Telegraphed you? 19523 That do?"
19523That''s about enough, ai n''t it?
19523The last?
19523The man who claimed the body?
19523The marriage having been a fraud, what''s the use of beating around the bush? 19523 The name I''d assume is Jerold Fairfax?"
19523The will that was drawn in your favor?
19523The-- the evidence?
19523Then came out by the window and departed?
19523Then how did you know where to come?
19523Then why the devil do n''t you report to that effect?
19523Then you were actually married, over a month ago?
19523Then,she said,"could n''t you undertake the task yourself?"
19523Theodore-- there?
19523Theodore?
19523These were not forgotten?
19523They have n''t really found out anything?
19523This Miss Booth- Fairfax?
19523This is n''t true, what the man is saying?
19523This is your stepbrother''s home?
19523This will?
19523To satisfy the condition in your uncle''s will?
19523Upstairs?
19523Was he up there at Hickwood when you left them?
19523Was he young or old?
19523Was it ever attempted before?
19523Was there anything else-- any scratches or bruises on his hands?
19523Was there anything to eat at his apartments-- or to drink?
19523We are quite, well-- secure from being overheard?
19523We ca n''t prove anything-- just now-- and what will happen when the will comes up for probate?
19523Well, sir,said Garrison, in some indignation,"what can I do for you?"
19523Well?
19523Well?
19523Well?
19523Well?
19523Were there any signs upon him of any nature?
19523What about the two dagos-- the fellows who attacked me in the park?
19523What about yourself?
19523What are you givin''me now?
19523What are you going to do next?
19523What are you scared of?
19523What are your rights as a cousin, if I may ask?
19523What can I do? 19523 What can you tell me of the man''s appearance?"
19523What could it mean?
19523What did you discover about the dead man''s relatives? 19523 What did you do with the stuff?"
19523What did you report about me?
19523What did you say is your name?
19523What did your uncle reply?
19523What did your uncle say at the time?
19523What do you mean to do?
19523What do you mean?
19523What do you mean?
19523What do you mean?
19523What do you think he''ll do?
19523What do you think? 19523 What do you want with me anyhow?"
19523What does it mean?
19523What does it mean?
19523What does it mean?
19523What for? 19523 What happened then?"
19523What has she to do with it?
19523What have I got myself into? 19523 What have you done to me, Dorothy?
19523What have you to report?
19523What have you to say to this letter, from the woman who is doubtless by now your_ legal_ wife?
19523What if it has? 19523 What is it, Jerold?"
19523What is it?
19523What is there we can do?
19523What is your lawyer''s name?
19523What kind-- of evidence?
19523What makes you think of such a thing?
19523What seemed to be the nature of the big surprise he had in mind?
19523What shall I call you?
19523What shall we do?
19523What shall we do?
19523What shall we do?
19523What should I be expected to do?
19523What sort of a looking person was the man who got into Mrs. Wilson''s house?
19523What the devil do you mean?
19523What was the cause of enmity between him and Hardy, do you know?
19523What''s all this business in the papers? 19523 What''s his name?"
19523What''s his name?
19523What''s that to you?
19523What''s that?
19523What''s the matter with my customary kiss?
19523What''s the matter with that door?
19523What''s the next train for New York?
19523What''s the trouble?
19523What''s the use of fighting? 19523 What''s your game?"
19523What''s your name?
19523What, a young thing like her, only just married?
19523When do you return?
19523When is it going to be settled-- when does it come to probate?
19523When is your real husband coming?
19523When was it that you saw the man?
19523When you wish any more, will you please let me know?
19523Where are you now?
19523Where are you now?
19523Where did Hardy get the box of cigars?
19523Where did you find this poison?
19523Where did you suppose she got this house?
19523Where did your uncle''s lawyer live?
19523Where has he gone?
19523Where is Foster now?
19523Where is he now?
19523Where is the man?
19523Where is the place?
19523Where shall I meet you?
19523Where was Dorothy then?
19523Where was your uncle when he wrote the letter?
19523Where''s your brother now?
19523Where''s your report on the case of Hardy, all these days?
19523Where?
19523Which was the room that Mr. Hardy occupied? 19523 Who delivered his birthday present-- the box of cigars?"
19523Who helped him? 19523 Who married you?"
19523Who told you he was murdered?
19523Who was it that died, leaving the will? 19523 Who was that?"
19523Who was the man outside?
19523Who wrote this report?
19523Who''s come?
19523Why ca n''t they pay it, now the man is dead?
19523Why could n''t you have told me all about them earlier?
19523Why did n''t you tell anyone of this before?
19523Why did n''t you tell me this before?
19523Why did she have to go so soon?
19523Why did we have to run away? 19523 Why did you run away?--and how did you do it?"
19523Why do n''t you tell us you never knew she had an uncle?
19523Why not a minister?
19523Why not tell me all about it, and let me assist, if I can? 19523 Why not?
19523Why not?
19523Why not?
19523Why should you think I''m shielding her?
19523Why would n''t I follow my wife? 19523 Why, but-- don''t you remember you met him with the others in my house, soon after you came?"
19523Why, how could such a thing happen?
19523Why, how do you do, Cousin Jerold?
19523Why, when did you come? 19523 Why-- but what does it---- You, attacked in the park-- these lawless deeds-- you stayed all night---- And you found I had been carried away?"
19523Why?
19523Wicks?
19523Will you please sit down? 19523 Will you please sit down?"
19523Will you shake?
19523Will you swear that your right name is Fairfax?
19523With what?
19523Wo n''t you go right up?
19523Wo n''t you please come in? 19523 Wo n''t you sit down and take off your hat and stay a while?"
19523Would it be asking too much if I suggested I need a little money?
19523Would you know the man again if you should see him?
19523Yes, but how did you----"What was the color of his hair?
19523You are in a private residence?
19523You are positive he bought a ticket for Branchville?
19523You are sure the box was n''t opened?
19523You are sure?
19523You are very fond of Foster?
19523You can not tell in the least?
19523You did n''t know I''d come to town? 19523 You did n''t really steal it?"
19523You do n''t deny it?
19523You do n''t know how long you''ll be gone?
19523You do n''t mean quite recently?
19523You do n''t think him guilty?
19523You feared he might not be in sympathy with your requirements?
19523You fool-- do you think I''d bring her here?
19523You found nothing of it, or anything to give you a hint, when you claimed the body for burial, and examined his possessions in Hickwood?
19523You got my wire?
19523You had no urgent need of funds in a large amount?
19523You have n''t seen Theodore?
19523You have seen him, then? 19523 You have them safe?"
19523You married him, where?
19523You mean the last will of Mr. Hardy-- the one in favor of Dorothy, in case she should be married?
19523You mean, Mr. Hardy told you a little about it, but, perhaps, not all?
19523You told young Robinson as much?
19523You wired because Fairfax had appeared?
19523You worked out the Biddle robbery?
19523You''re sure it was n''t the last?
19523You''re the man who saw a stranger going into Hardy''s room, at Mrs. Wilson''s, the night that Hardy died, I believe?
19523You''ve been left some needed funds for your labors?
19523You-- what do you mean?
19523You-- you are sure?
19523You-- you mean you''ll give me a chance?
19523You? 19523 Your bluff sounds big, but I''m here to call it, understand?
19523A book----""Whose will was that?"
19523Accept the terms?"
19523And if the thing should all be cleared at last, and come to its end, as all things must, what would be the outcome for himself and Dorothy?
19523And what could he know of the facts in the case of Hardy''s death that would warrant him in charging that the affair was known to be murder?
19523And what do you wish me to do-- concerning the rôle I have filled?"
19523And what should be done with the motor- car, thus abandoned to his care?
19523And when did he die?"
19523And who would think, in ordinary circumstances, of looking in a cigar for such a poison, and how could such a crime be traced?
19523And, by the way, where did you get it?"
19523Any news of Mr. Fairfax for us all?"
19523Are n''t you supposed to have a perfect right to-- to take me wherever you please-- especially from a place like that, and such outrageous treatment?"
19523Are you a very well- known detective?"
19523Are you sure you are safe where he is?"
19523As to masquerading, if you have no acquaintances, then who would be the wiser?"
19523Attacked?"
19523But the driver-- what was it that had caused him also to vanish at a time so unexpected?
19523But-- why not take her to that house as well as to any in New York?
19523Ca n''t you help me, Jerold?"
19523Can you tell me why you wish to pretend that I am your husband?"
19523Come back in fifteen minutes, will you?
19523Did Dorothy know of his presence in the city?
19523Did he call at the house where you were staying?"
19523Did you follow him at all?"
19523Do n''t either of you make a move that I do n''t order, understand?
19523Do you know the address of my office?"
19523Do you really have to go away from town?"
19523Do you see the slightest ray of hope?"
19523Do you think Mr. Hardy feared this man Cleave would take his life?"
19523Do you wish his present address?"
19523Does that answer your question?"
19523Dorothy had shown her fear in her last startled question:"Jerold, you do n''t suspect me?"
19523Durgin answered with a query:"Which one?"
19523Fairfax?"
19523Fairfax?"
19523Fairfax?"
19523Fairfax?"
19523Fairfax?"
19523Fairfax?"
19523For instance, when were we supposed to have been married?"
19523Foster, then, is a photographer?"
19523Garrison gave up with one more inquiry:"Was the will deposited here in Mr. Spikeman''s vault?"
19523Garrison knew whom he meant, but he asked:"What young woman?"
19523Garrison questioned eagerly:"Where is he now?"
19523Garrison said:"Indeed?"
19523Garrison?"
19523Get out with your book?"
19523Good joke, is n''t it, to have him summon the officers to arrest the man who murdered his uncle?"
19523Had it been stolen-- or hidden?
19523Had the two gone off together?
19523Hardy?"
19523Hardy?"
19523Hardy?"
19523Have you noticed anyone else around the office here-- reporters, for instance?"
19523He demanded sharply;"What''s all this business to you?"
19523He inquired:"Do you smoke?"
19523He is n''t your husband, after all?"
19523He must make a report-- but what?
19523Here was Dorothy suddenly requiring a pseudo- husband-- for what?
19523His mother said:"Why have you got on an overcoat such a night as this?"
19523His visitor presently added:"Do you consent-- for five hundred dollars?"
19523How could that possibly have been?
19523How dared they carry me off like this?
19523How did it happen that your uncle''s life was insured for that inventor in Hickwood, Charles Scott?"
19523How did you find it out?
19523How did you happen to come?
19523How long do you think you''ll be away?"
19523How much did Hardy tell you of a former attempt on his life?"
19523How much do you expect to tell him of what is going on to- day?"
19523How was it done?"
19523How was it done?"
19523I should be obliged, I presume, to adopt his name as part of the arrangement?"
19523If not, then what could have formed the motive for the man''s abrupt flight from the scene?
19523If so, why should she choose a companion of his type?
19523In fifteen minutes more, at his present rate of gain, the driver behind would be up alongside, and then-- who knew what would happen?
19523In my name?"
19523Is n''t that sufficient?"
19523Is that someone to speak to me?"
19523Is that your man?"
19523Is there any particular place in New York where you prefer to stay?"
19523Is this correct?"
19523Jerold?"
19523May I offer you a chair?"
19523Not that I read anything but the postals and----""Did he get any packages sent by express?"
19523On what do you base your conclusions?"
19523Once more Garrison called out:"Dorothy-- where are you?"
19523Scott?"
19523Shall you need any help in arresting Durgin?
19523She asked;"What kind of poison?"
19523She played a trifle louder, and asked him:"Where are you going?"
19523She said:"Are you married?"
19523She said:"In what respect?"
19523Tell me, please, what did you find out about Foster?"
19523The nephew who came to claim the body?"
19523The question now is, where do you wish to go?
19523Then she added:"What does it all mean, anyway?
19523Then, with an effort, she replied:"You''re glad-- but-- why?"
19523There is n''t anything else?"
19523Up to the present I believe she has been quite well satisfied with my deportment; have n''t you, Dorothy?"
19523Was he young?"
19523What are we going to do now, with all these new complications?"
19523What did it mean to have the chauffeur also disappear?
19523What did they comprise?"
19523What did they mean?
19523What did you mean?"
19523What do you advise?"
19523What do you fear?
19523What do you mean by saying you''ve not attempted to shield her?"
19523What do you mean?"
19523What do you mean?"
19523What do you think we''d better do?"
19523What do you want me to do?"
19523What does he mean?"
19523What does this mean, all this stuff they''ve been printing in the papers about some man passing as your husband?"
19523What in the world would become of Foster then-- and Alice?"
19523What more?
19523What sort of a looking being is he?"
19523What sort of a looking man is Foster?"
19523What sort of a man is this Cleave?"
19523What was the web in which he was entangled?
19523What would Fairfax himself attempt to do, so far baffled, but a factor with a hold upon her name and, perhaps, upon her fortune?
19523What would she do concerning Fairfax?
19523What''d you want to know?
19523When did you find that I had gone?
19523When do you wish me to begin my services?"
19523Where did you go?"
19523Where do you keep your car?"
19523Where had it gone?
19523Where had she gone-- and why?
19523Where has it been?"
19523Where is she now?"
19523Who could be coming here to- night?"
19523Who else could have as good a motive?"
19523Who is it?"
19523Who is your man?"
19523Who was the lawyer?
19523Who were the witnesses?"
19523Why did you do it?"
19523Why?"
19523Will you drive the car yourself?"
19523Will you tell me, Mr. Fairfax, that when you married my niece you were not aware of her prospects?"
19523Would Barnes arrive in time, or at all?
19523Would Durgin fail to come?
19523You did n''t hear anything of Foster?"
19523You knew I''d been away?"
19523You mixing up with some niece of Hardy''s, and the girl getting married to save an inheritance?"
19523You----""But you do n''t suspect me?"
19523said Jerold,"any news?"
19523the man inquired,"even with Foster wild?"
12758A month? 12758 After all, if I go, will you follow?"
12758Ah, Master Christian,said he, squeezing my hand,"what happy circumstance brings you here?
12758Ah, is that you, Toubac?
12758Alas,said he,"I have long lain on these dry and prickly herbs, I am now on the bed of roses; but what shall be the serpent?"
12758And now?
12758And the only answer you made him was a joke?
12758And very likely you sometimes went there when you knew that he was not at home?
12758And you have found nothing which could give you a clew as to his purpose?
12758And you?
12758Are we in time, do you think?
12758Are you going to Malaga?
12758Arrested her?
12758Art thou subject to this cruel disorder?
12758At four o''clock-- it was very warm, was n''t it?
12758At what time?
12758Blanca?
12758But Don Nicasio says--"He, too? 12758 But I ask thee whether he is lively or phlegmatic, cautious or imprudent?"
12758But from whom? 12758 But how did you come in, sir?"
12758But how is it possible,said the good man,"that the giver can be more wretched than the receiver?"
12758But the justice of the peace? 12758 But the queen,"said Zadig;"for heaven''s sake, knowest thou nothing of the queen''s fate?"
12758But what is it?
12758But why, dear lady?
12758But why,said Zadig,"is it necessary that there should be crimes and misfortunes, and that these misfortunes should fall on the good?"
12758But, Commodore,said I,"why not bathe?
12758But, as a matter of fact, what could he have been doing in the cistern? 12758 By the way,"I asked,"where was Gabriela when she was arrested?"
12758Can any harm come to me from it? 12758 Can you save him?"
12758Can you show it me?
12758Come, come, what sort of talk? 12758 Consider well what you are saying; must this really be?"
12758Cousin,I resumed,"how far may it be from here to the ruins of Geierstein?"
12758Did Orcan take thy wife from thee?
12758Did he work for the King of Prussia?
12758Did you like the Alhambra?
12758Die?
12758Dilemma?
12758Do you believe it?
12758Do you believe it?
12758Do you feel well?
12758Do you imagine you can make me believe such a thing?
12758Do you know what you are thinking, child?
12758Do you mean then that we shall not meet again?
12758Do you not know that everything here on earth must obey me, that it is in my power to do everything? 12758 Do you promise?"
12758Do you recognize the nail which deprived your husband of life?
12758Do you remember that Doctor Parent sent you to sleep?
12758Do you remember that diamond necklace which you lent me to wear at the ministerial ball?
12758Do you see him?
12758Do you wish to go further? 12758 Done,"he cried;"but how is the bargain to be made?"
12758Father,said Zadig,"what is the meaning of all this?
12758From--?
12758Happily, I said my prayers at night,said the peasant;"without that, where would I be?"
12758Has nobody been down here since the little man?
12758Has that not already happened? 12758 Hast thou any witnesses?"
12758Have you not yet been delivered from purgatory by our prayers, and all the Masses for your soul, which we have said for you?
12758Have you nothing to tell me?
12758Have you really a lover?
12758He has written to you?
12758He is going, is he?
12758Hold your tongue, chatterbox,said her husband, in a low voice;"do you want to kill madame?"
12758How did he die?
12758How if I were to propose a piece of business that would bring you in as much money as you require?
12758How so?
12758How-- the third?
12758How? 12758 I could not say to him,''Go ahead and do it,''could I?
12758I distrust myself,said he,"but may I presume to ask the favor of thee to clear up one doubt that still remains in my mind?
12758I know of something that will set you straight in a moment,answered Castanier;"but first you would have to--""Do what?"
12758I see him--"And the spider-- is it big?
12758I? 12758 In what place,"said Zadig,"didst thou lend the five hundred ounces to this infidel?"
12758In what, pray, beautiful Azora? 12758 Is my traveling companion deaf, dumb, or asleep?"
12758Is n''t the night damp?
12758Is that a certain sign?
12758Is there any truth in it?
12758It is the Book of Destinies,said the hermit;"wouldst thou choose to look into it?"
12758Little chump,he said, his eyes sparkling,"what makes you look at it?
12758Madame, will you be so good as to tell your husband that the bill of exchange on Watschildine, which was behind time, has just been presented? 12758 Master Christian,"said he,"how in the devil do you pass your time?
12758May I take the liberty of asking thee,said Zadig,"how long thou hast followed this noble profession?"
12758Never? 12758 Nothing at all?
12758Now, sir,cried he,"where would you like to go?"
12758Oh, goodness, yes,said Aquilina;"is it not the best way of keeping them safe?
12758Oh, very well; and are you not laughing too? 12758 Oh, you think she does?
12758On purpose, your honor? 12758 Piquoizeau,"said the cashier, walking into the porter''s room,"what made you let anybody come up after four o''clock?"
12758Separate? 12758 Shall I have time to repent?"
12758Shall I make off with the money that I must pay on the registration of that conveyance? 12758 Sir Thomas Hawerburch?"
12758Sir?
12758So that is what you do with your love letters, is it?
12758So you do not know that the Minister decided this morning to put down your Society?
12758So you do not love me well enough to marry me?
12758So your husband runs into debt?
12758So, he had told you before, had he? 12758 Strange,"said Zadig,"may I presume to ask thee what it is that women only are permitted to touch?"
12758Suppose that the devil were to make a bid for your soul, would you not give it to him now in exchange for the power of God? 12758 Tell me now, old man; is n''t it the creaking of the wheels that sings in your ears?"
12758Tell me,I asked the judge one day,"do you think you will ever capture this woman?"
12758That is to say, you admit that you assassinated your husband?
12758Then how did you know it?
12758Then was it you who betrayed him?
12758Then what''s to be done?
12758Then, dost thou know what I did? 12758 They call this the_ Owl''s Ear_?"
12758To me?
12758Ungrateful?
12758Upon what does happiness depend?
12758Very often? 12758 Very well then, why do you go?"
12758Very well, what is it?
12758Was I to boast to him of what I had done? 12758 Well, well, what is the matter now?"
12758Well,cried Zadig,"did not I say that the stone would bear witness?
12758What aileth thee,said he,"my dear spouse?
12758What ails you?
12758What art thou doing?
12758What can I do?
12758What can one do to raise ten thousand francs?
12758What do you mean? 12758 What do you say, sir?"
12758What do you want of me?
12758What form did it have?
12758What have I done to you?
12758What in the devil are you thinking about?
12758What is all this about?
12758What is he doing?
12758What is his attitude in this portrait?
12758What is it, cousin?
12758What is the character of thy debtor?
12758What is your name?
12758What made people build the giant cathedrals I have seen in every country?
12758What must he do besides?
12758What next? 12758 What next?
12758What on earth has happened to you?
12758What passed between you and that diabolical- looking man in those few minutes?
12758What remarkable occurrence could have brought you hither in such haste and at this hour of the morning?
12758What sort of talk? 12758 What sort of talk?"
12758What way did he take? 12758 What, you?"
12758What,said he,"did the king lose his senses?
12758What? 12758 What?"
12758When, pray? 12758 When?"
12758Where is he?
12758Where is the music?
12758Where is your mother''s grave?
12758Who art thou?
12758Who brought this?
12758Who could it be but Blanca, my love, my life?
12758Who is it, Brigitte?
12758Who is strong enough to resist me?
12758Who saw me there? 12758 Who sent him?"
12758Who told thee so, barbarian?
12758Who, I?
12758Whose photograph is it?
12758Why did I come but to share in your crime?
12758Why did you buy provisions?
12758Why did you say,''That was the way it was bound to end''?
12758Why do you ask me?
12758Why do you not save him?
12758Why not?
12758Why were you so much concerned about it? 12758 Why,"said Zadig to the fisherman,"dost thou sink under thy misfortunes?"
12758Why,said some of them,"prohibit the eating of a griffin, if there is no such an animal in nature?"
12758Why?
12758Why?
12758Will you answer all my questions?
12758Without closing your eyes?
12758Would you like to take my place?
12758Yes, what''s to be done?
12758You are talking as if it were a real love letter, Naqui--"Well, am I not handsome enough to receive them?
12758You are very solemn, dear boy; what can be the matter? 12758 You come from Granada?"
12758You have seen him, then? 12758 You love me?"
12758You ran forward? 12758 You say that you bought a necklace of diamonds to replace mine?"
12758You swear it?
12758You wish to marry me?
12758Young man,said the first eunuch,"hast thou seen the queen''s dog?"
12758Your comrades must be a good way behind?
12758_ Fiat?..._said a clerk.
12758_ Mille diables!_thought he, as he threaded his way along the Boulevard de Gand,"have n''t I taken proper precautions?
12758***** What is the matter with me?
12758--Was not that just what you were thinking?"
12758... and in India?
127581, and, whoever it might be, why did he or she not reply to my courteous salutation?
12758A devil had left unmistakable traces of its passage there; could it have been Ashtaroth?
12758Am I doing wrong in loving you?"
12758Am I going mad?
12758Am I not your last hope of escape?"
12758Amid the horrible confusion of the rabbi''s thoughts, the idea darted through his brain:"Can I be already dead that they did not see me?"
12758And what idea he kept brooding over, after that, who knows?
12758And which of us two will have been the more generous?"
12758And you have no other information concerning the unknown?"
12758And you, did n''t you notice it?"
12758Apropos, Master Christian, where is our landscape of''Saint Odille''?"
12758Are you a Christian if you deny the power of the All- powerful?"
12758Are you sure that he commissioned you to ask me for them?"
12758As soon as I have got in I double lock, and bolt it: I am frightened-- of what?
12758At my age?
12758But by what means?
12758But is it I?
12758But it would see me mix it with the water; and then, would our poisons have any effect on its impalpable body?
12758But sometimes, when I heard him freeing his mind--""Then he used to free his mind to you?"
12758But was it a hallucination?
12758But what was it?
12758But who is he, this invisible being that rules me?
12758Can I be of service to you?"
12758Can it be possible?"
12758Christian Weber approached the negress, and making a rapid pass over her forehead:"Are you there?"
12758Christian, so you''ve found no trace of the imbecile who hanged himself?"
12758Closed?
12758Could Gabriela and Blanca be one and the same?
12758Could she do it?
12758Could she, by some strange intuition, suspect anything?
12758Dead?
12758Did she not tempt the scaffold by the very fact of going thither to take a prominent place?
12758Did you take his number?"
12758Do I need tongs to drag the words out of your mouth?"
12758Do not dogs occasionally bite and strangle their masters?
12758Do you call God_ something_?"
12758Do you hear nothing, Brigitte?
12758Do you know what joy there is in heaven over a sinner that repents?
12758Do you suspect the innkeeper, the most honest man in the world, and belonging to one of the oldest families in Nuremberg?"
12758Do you take me for a fool, telling me that you are going away?
12758Do you want anything that I can give you, dear?
12758Does she say so?
12758Even if I were positive that Gabriela and Blanca were the same person, what could my unfortunate friend do?
12758Father,"she added, turning to the priest who stood beside her,"may I speak a few words to this generous friend?"
12758Fear of what?
12758Feign a sudden illness?
12758Flee the country?
12758For a moment, I thought of magnetism, but who could magnetize that man with those pale, cold, bright eyes?
12758For my part, I have too many other things in my head--""Come, come-- what had he been talking about, when he told you before?"
12758From Gabriela Zahara?"
12758Had I read the conceptions of an idiot-- or the inspirations of a genius which had been realized?
12758Had not he, perhaps, kept a glass hidden in his hand, which he showed to the young woman in her sleep, at the same time as he did the card?
12758Has anyone as yet been able to state correctly the terms of the proportion sum wherein the cashier figures as the unknown_ x_?
12758Has he failed me?
12758Has he turned against me?
12758Has not your husband disinherited his lost son, and made the Church his heir, in his place?"
12758Has she had recourse to cunning alone, or has she obtained the intervention of invisible powers?"
12758Have not you yourself been twenty- two years old and madly in love?''
12758Have you a mind to learn your destiny?
12758He asked him what book it was that he had been reading?
12758He asked:"You''re sure you had it on when you left the ball?"
12758He came back every day, in the afternoon, after his lunch... thou rememberest, is it not so?
12758He came up to me, looked me straight in the face, and answered:''Have n''t I told you that, sooner or later, I should do something crazy?
12758He put a visiting card into her hands, and said to her:"This is a looking- glass; what do you see in it?"
12758He replied:"Do we see the hundred thousandth part of what exists?
12758He stuttered:"What''s the matter?
12758He was just going out, and he listened to me with a smile, and said:"Do you believe now?"
12758Her husband said to her one evening:"What is the matter?
12758Her husband, already half undressed, demanded:"What is the matter with you?"
12758His body?
12758How are you?"
12758How can I say?
12758How can that be?
12758How could I kill it, as I could not get hold of it?
12758How could this Fledermausse, this base, sordid creature, have derived so profound a law of human nature?
12758How did he happen to tell you before?"
12758How did it happen that the mortal wounds on the dead man''s body were made with a razor?"
12758How is it that I have not seen them?"
12758How is it then that since the beginning of the world they have never manifested themselves in such a manner precisely as they do to me?
12758How long will it take you to arrange your business matters and secure from the government another leave of absence to return to Sevilla?"
12758How much would it cost, a suitable dress, which you could use on other occasions, something very simple?"
12758How should it then be surprising that he can not perceive a fresh body which is traversed by the light?
12758How so?"
12758How would it, then, have fared with the poor, simple peasant, if he had been surprised unawares?
12758I continued:"Do you remember what took place at your house last night?"
12758I could have asked for an extension, pretending illness, but the question was, should I do it?
12758I have a couple of passports and two different disguises; is not that enough to throw the cleverest detective off the scent?
12758I rather think so; are you ill?"
12758I want five hundred thousand francs before I strike--""Who talks of stinting you?"
12758I was continually asking myself this question:"What can I do?
12758I was twelve years old, only twelve years old; thou rememberest well, is it not so?
12758I will tell you what it is, youngster; why should I kill you?
12758I?
12758I?
12758If from among this race of dupes there should escape some five or six men of genius who climb the highest heights, is it not miraculous?
12758If he was not dead?...
12758If she had detected the substitution, what would she have thought, what would she have said?
12758If thou knewest how I have had fear of this moment all my life...."Suzanne stammered through her tears:"Forgive thee what, Little One?
12758Indeed, if there is a phenomenon well attested by experience, is it not the spiritual phenomenon commonly called"the faith of the peasant"?
12758Instead of being delighted, as her husband hoped, she threw the invitation on the table with disdain, murmuring:"What do you want me to do with that?"
12758Is it I?
12758Is it a cold shiver which, passing over my skin, has upset my nerves and given me low spirits?
12758Is it an architectural freak, or did some reasonable cause determine such an odd construction?
12758Is it not possible that one of the imperceptible keys of the cerebral finger- board has been paralyzed in me?
12758Is it not there that I should go to traffic in souls?"
12758Is it possible?"
12758Is not the following story again still more appalling and not less marvelous?
12758Is that love?"
12758Is the world coming to an end?
12758Is there a God?
12758Is there anything more respectable than ancient abuses?"
12758It could surely only be I?
12758It is a matter of business like anything else, is n''t it?
12758It is done;... it is done... but is he dead?
12758It would be the height of folly to believe in the supernatural on the_ île de la Grenouillière_[1]... but on the top of Mont Saint- Michel?
12758Loisel for a thief?
12758May I ask if that wound of the heart which you told me about when I met you in the stagecoach has healed?"
12758My cousin, who is also very incredulous, smiled, and Dr. Parent said to her:"Would you like me to try and send you to sleep, Madame?"
12758Naqui''s heart softened toward him at the sight of his trouble; she tried to soothe him, but what could she do when she did not know what ailed him?
12758Nobody has come out either except the gentlemen--""Are you quite sure?"
12758Now I remember the words of the monk at Mont Saint- Michel:"Can we see the hundred- thousandth part of what exists?
12758Now, were these two deaths the two crimes mentioned in his letter?
12758Now, when does the marriage take place?
12758On the eve, perchance, of salvation-- you wished to leave us?"
12758On what did he live?"
12758Once I asked her:"Do you feel ill?"
12758Passion?
12758Poison?
12758Premature destruction?
12758Really, you are as dull as ditch- water this evening--""What must I do?"
12758Shall I take her or leave her?"
12758Sharp women''s voices answered us, then a man''s voice, a choking voice, asked,''Who goes there?''
12758She asked for nothing; but when she was called upon to make a choice, when Castanier asked her,"Which do you like?"
12758She kept asking:"Have n''t you any more?"
12758She looked at him with an irritated eye, and she said, impatiently:"And what do you want me to put on my back?"
12758Since it is your misfortune to have it so, what difference does it make whether he is the one, or somebody else?''
12758So you would not follow me?"
12758Somebody had drunk the water, but who?
12758Something must have happened to you, something unfortunate, I fear?"
12758Suddenly the judge bent down, and picking up a skull, exclaimed in astonishment:"Look here, my friend, what is this?
12758Suppose that no one strays, after all, into that carefully constructed labyrinth?
12758Suppose that the ant- lion dies of hunger and thirst in her pit?
12758Suppose that the devil and the police should let me go on as I please, so as to nab me in the nick of time?
12758That day Toubac made me a visit, and, as his great nose appeared on a level with the floor, he exclaimed:"Master Christian, have you nothing to sell?"
12758The Arabian merchants must necessarily have slaves; and why not me as well as another, since, as well as another, I am a man?
12758The doctor, turning to me, who no longer felt the shock, asked:"Is it true, Frantz, that the commodore went in bathing?"
12758The judge fell back in his chair and then asked me by a look:"What is she going to say?"
12758The judge now seemed to awaken from his stupor and asked in a harsh voice:"What is your name?"
12758The judge trembled when he heard these words, but, dominating his emotion, he asked courageously:"The name of that man, madame?
12758The reason of this reticence?
12758The tears were falling from his eyes when--"Are you a relation of the dead?"
12758The two swans died three days after... Dost thou remember?
12758The wise man says: Perhaps?
12758Then Gabriela asked me:"Where is he?"
12758Then he resumed:"You see him?"
12758Then she asked, hesitating, filled with anguish:"Can you lend me that, only that?"
12758Then?...
12758There was certainly no getting out of that-- out of that-- Perhaps your honor can help me to the right word?"
12758They called it magnetism, hypnotism, suggestion... what do I know?
12758This unknowable being, this rover of a supernatural race?
12758Thou rememberest how he would say that?
12758Thou rememberest, is it not so?
12758Thou rememberest, is it not so?
12758Thou rememberest, surely, how they spoiled me?
12758Threaten her?
12758To see me?
12758Up till the present time I have been frightened of nothing-- I open my cupboards, and look under my bed; I listen-- I listen-- to what?
12758Was it a man?
12758Was it a woman?
12758Was not his body, which was transparent, indestructible by such means as would kill ours?
12758Was she going to speak to her?
12758Was she married?
12758Was she not keeping watch over the wealth of her son at the risk of her life?
12758Was she really a widow?
12758Was she trusting to her innocence or to the weakness of the judge?
12758Was she turning the course of the rivulet?"
12758Was this the glorious climax of my travels that the Chaldean, Diophanes, had so confidently predicted for me?
12758Well, one morning-- or was it in the evening?
12758Well?"
12758What am I to say?
12758What are we to do this evening?
12758What are you having that man write, your honor?"
12758What can they do more than we can?
12758What could I do?
12758What could he have come to the_ Owl''s Ear_ for?"
12758What could this influence be?
12758What could this mean?
12758What did this manikin signify?
12758What do they see which we do not know?
12758What do those who are thinkers in those distant worlds know more than we do?
12758What do you think of it, Philip?"
12758What for?
12758What forms, what living beings, what animals are there yonder?
12758What had become of his predecessor?
12758What had he been talking about?
12758What is it that can thus have discomposed thee?"
12758What is the matter with me?
12758What is the reason?
12758What procures me the pleasure of seeing you?"
12758What shall I do?"
12758What should I do?
12758What should I say to persuade you?
12758What sort of devotion has rewarded mine?
12758What was this man doing in such deep darkness?
12758What would have happened if she had not lost that necklace?
12758What''s the matter?"
12758When I went back home yesterday, I noticed his singular paleness, and I asked him:"What is the matter with you, Jean?"
12758When do you wish the room, Master Christian?"
12758When the court was going to break up, the judge said to Zadig,"Well, friend, is not thy stone come yet?"
12758Whence do these mysterious influences come, which change our happiness into discouragement, and our self- confidence into diffidence?
12758Whence this wonderful change, dear friend?
12758Where are you trying to lead me, with your questions?
12758Where now are the long hours of anguish, hunger, contempt, which overwhelmed us before?
12758Where will you find the man who shall live with wealth, like a cat with a caged mouse?
12758Which of you shut the door?
12758Who can tell the number of its victims?"
12758Who can tell?
12758Who could it be?
12758Who dares say such a thing?
12758Who inhabits those worlds?
12758Who is the culprit?
12758Who is thinking of those things now?
12758Who knows?
12758Who knows?
12758Who pays attention to them?
12758Who saw us, your honor?"
12758Who was my companion?
12758Who will save me?
12758Who will understand my horrible agony?
12758Who would remember a little thing like that?
12758Who?
12758Why deny that which is self- evident?
12758Why did this old woman live in this great deserted house?
12758Why do n''t you laugh?
12758Why had this woman gotten on the stage at the first stop instead of at Granada?
12758Why in the devil do n''t you come in?
12758Why may not it be as ancient as the stars?
12758Why not one more?
12758Why not other elements besides fire, air, earth and water?
12758Why not, also, other trees with immense, splendid flowers, perfuming whole regions?
12758Why not?
12758Why not?
12758Why not?
12758Why should there not be one more, when once that period is accomplished which separates the successive apparitions from all the different species?
12758Why should we be the last?
12758Why take her?
12758Why this transparent, unrecognizable body, this body belonging to a spirit, if it also had to fear ills, infirmities and premature destruction?
12758Why was she alone?
12758Why was she so sad?
12758Why will you not save him?"
12758Why?
12758Why?
12758Why?
12758Why?
12758Why?
12758Why?"
12758Will you keep your heart for me too?"
12758With a graceful bow she turned away to speak to an acquaintance, and I asked a friend of mine who was passing:"Can you tell me who that woman is?"
12758Would I be her heaven and she my hell?
12758Would it not have been better to have corrected this youth, and made him virtuous, than to have drowned him?"
12758Would you talk like that if you were really going away from your Naqui?
12758You hardly believe in anything perhaps?
12758You have always refused to give me a box at the Italiens because you could not abide music, and are you turning music- mad at this time of day?
12758You see this turtle before us?
12758You will be here on the fifteenth of May?"
12758You would hear my voice in the depths of the caves that lie under the Seine; you might hide in the Catacombs, but would you not see me there?
12758You''ve seen it yourself?"
12758Zadig, transported, said,"What, knowest thou nothing of the queen''s fate?"
12758_ August 10th._ Nothing; what will happen to- morrow?
12758_ July 5th._ Have I lost my reason?
12758and for what purpose, pray, dost thou seek for a basilisk?"
12758and is he killed?
12758are they laughing?"
12758continued he,"thou employest me to comfort this man; whom wilt thou employ to give me consolation?"
12758cried Aquilina;"and have you never given it a serious thought, dear?
12758cried Zadig;"and though thou hadst read this event in thy Book of Destinies, art thou permitted to drown a youth who never did thee any harm?"
12758cried the fisherman,"art thou then so unhappy, thou who bestowest favors?"
12758dear child, do you not see that I am joking?"
12758he was a shoemaker, was he?"
12758how had she found the means to use this law to the profit or indulgence of her sanguinary instincts?
12758is that man to sleep in Monsieur Auguste''s bed, and wear Monsieur Auguste''s slippers, and eat the pasty that I made for Monsieur Auguste?
12758perhaps?...
12758said Aquilina;"must he die, my lover?
12758said Petrus, seeing that he was silent,"what has happened?"
12758said Zadig to himself,"are there men as wretched as I?"
12758said Zadig,"and what is become of Queen Astarte?"
12758said the doctor,"how?"
12758said the judge sternly, his eyes seeming to dart flames,"approach and tell me whether you recognize this head?"
12758so you are really going, are you?"
12758then?...
12758to think?
12758well?...
12758what can I do?"
12758what is become of thee?"
12758where is he?"
12758who knows?
12758why, how can I leave the lover who writes me such sweet little notes?"
12758why?
12758why?
12758you are laughing, of course?"
173''Can I be awake,''I whispered,''or am I dreaming?'' 173 A boat?"
173A dog, for instance?
173A sleeping draught?
173A subjective hallucination, Petrie?
173A young lady?
173And Croxted?
173And Nayland Smith?
173And at half- past ten?
173And the dacoit?
173And you last saw him at eight o''clock last night?
173And your warning came from China?
173Are the study windows visible from there?
173Are you Wills?
173Are you going around?
173Are you hurt, Smith?
173Are you sure it was not a cat, Miss Eltham?
173At the same place?
173Because you can see she is in love with you?
173Because?
173Burglaries frequent in the houses backing on to it?
173But Fu- Manchu?
173But am I not right in supposing that you are connected with the police?
173But brought what, Smith?
173But from what? 173 But he is-- Dead?"
173But how can we be sure that there is no trap laid for us?
173But how did you come to recognize the cry?
173But how do you account for the fact that neither of the bodies have been recovered?
173But how, Smith?
173But tell me, how does he produce the appearance of death?
173But the scented envelopes?
173But the wailing business?
173But what is your idea, Smith?
173But who is this Fu- Manchu, and how-- how in the name of wonder did he get into my chambers?
173But why did this person make for here? 173 But you?"
173But, Smith, what is the motive of the Call?
173Can you doubt it? 173 Can you restore Weymouth''s sanity?"
173Could you hide me from him if I came to you, and told you all I know?
173Did he keep any record of his cases?
173Did he mean that literally?
173Did n''t you mention a case of this kind on the Irrawaddy?
173Did she look out of the window?
173Did you administer the draught, as directed?
173Did you change your quarters?
173Did you ever hear it again, before this evening?
173Did you hear anything?
173Did you not know I should follow you? 173 Did you see her?"
173Did you see his right hand?
173Did you see it?
173Did you see it?
173Did you see or hear anything unusual-- anything unaccountable?
173Did you see what he went after?
173Do I seem one to fear for myself?
173Do you recognize anyone?
173Do you suppose Fu- Manchu is going to leave evidence like that lying about? 173 Do you think he died a natural death, Smith?"
173Do you think it was all an illusion?
173Do you think she is likely to wake, Doctor?
173Do you think some emissary of Fu- Manchu is actually inside the moat?
173Do you think that the sarcophagus entered into the scheme, Smith?
173Doctor seen them?
173Does it matter?
173Dr. Petrie,said the girl quickly,"what do you think they want to do to him?"
173Ever seen one like it?
173From a Chinaman?
173Fu- Manchu?
173Got any theory?
173Greater than Von Homber, of Berlin?
173Had anything unusual occurred prior to this evening?
173Has Redmoat, as its name implies, a moat round it? 173 Has she slept through it?"
173Have I the strength?
173Have the police come?
173Have you any idea,I said,"how it came about that you awoke in the train yesterday whilst your father did not?"
173Have you found a suitable hiding- place?
173Have you got it now?
173Have you seen such a creature, Miss Eltham?
173Have you taken any precautions?
173Have you thought of Fu- Manchu''s marmoset?
173Having got the lid off, something,--somebody--"Suppose we say the mummy?
173How are we going to get down without being detected?
173How can she have passed through London in that costume?
173How can you jest with some awful thing-- Heaven knows what-- hanging over your head? 173 How could anyone get into his room?"
173How do you arrive at that?
173How long had it lain in the docks?
173How long has he been in London now?
173How long has that other dog taken to howling?
173How many chloral tabloids did you take?
173How was it done?
173I am sorry to have to press you, Mr. Eltham,he said,"but what was the nature of the warning to which you referred, and from whom did it come?"
173I had a visitor in the afternoon,he said, seemingly speaking the words unwillingly,"but--""A lady?"
173I may deserve no mercy; I may be even as bad as you think; but what have YOU to do with the police? 173 I thought you would like to hear what led up to it-- so far as we know-- before seeing him?"
173I understand, Doctor, that you had been treating Lord Southery for angina pectoris?
173IS it a victory for China, Petrie?
173In the courtyard?
173In what way? 173 Into what dark scheme have we had a glimpse?"
173Is HE safe for an hour or two?
173Is Mr. Guthrie in his room?
173Is everybody out?
173Is that you, Miss Eltham?
173Is that you, Petrie?
173Is there no means of arousing him, Petrie?
173It must be a happy hunting ground for tramps?
173It was you who heard a cry of some kind at the rear of the house about the time of Sir Crichton''s death?
173It would have been difficult for Fu- Manchu to travel by a passenger boat?
173Karamaneh was the decoy again?
173Like this?
173May I ask you how you discovered my retreat?
173May not your presence here induce Fu- Manchu to abandon his plans?
173Mr. Commissioner Nayland Smith?
173Mr. Smith,he said, with emotion,"what does this mean?
173Mysterious enough for you?
173No one at home?
173No strange sounds outside the house, for instance?
173No? 173 Now that you can think clearly, Mr. West,"he said,"of what does your experience remind you?
173Of what are you speaking?
173Of what avail has your protection been to some of those others,she said;"those others whom HE has sought for?"
173Of what country am I? 173 Of what nature?"
173Perhaps Dr. Petrie would give us an opinion?
173Police, sir?
173Saw him leap from the window?
173Shall we find the key to the riddle here, I wonder?
173Shall we go in now?
173She is, Petrie why pretend to be blind to it? 173 Slavery is put down, you imagine, perhaps?
173Smith, where is she?
173Smith,I broke in,"who is she?"
173Smith,I said at last,"what was that horrible wailing we heard, and what did Fu- Manchu mean when he referred to Rangoon?
173Smith,I said, somewhat crestfallen,"why are you detaining this gypsy woman?"
173Smith,I said,"I do not altogether understand you; but do you think he has some incredible creature hidden here somewhere?
173Smith,I said,"did you bring the pigtail with you that was found on Cadby?"
173Smith,I said,"what was that?"
173So?
173Some THING or someone?
173Suicide?
173Suicides, were they not?
173Suppose I handed you over to the police?
173Suppose-- What then?
173That he has reached England alive is a hopeful sign?
173That is the girl,rapped Smith;"but where in Heaven''s name is the man to whom she brought the message?
173That lascar, too,he continued,"that you came down to see, sir; you remember his hands?"
173That would meet the situation?
173The communicating door was kept closed?
173The plans of the aero- torpedo?
173Then it has not dawned upon you?
173Then what do you fear?
173Then what has become of the mummy?
173Then you are going back to Nan- Yang?
173Then you would-- if you dared?
173There was no one hidden anywhere in your chambers?
173Those iron stairs are a means of communication between the domestic offices and the servants''quarters, I take it?
173Three years, is it?
173To L--? 173 Upon reaching Great Yarmouth you immediately called up Scotland Yard?
173Was it murder by any chance?
173Was there anything unusual about the bodies?
173Well?
173Well?
173Well?
173Were the deaths confined to Europeans?
173Were you in the room at the moment of his fatal seizure?
173Weymouth, when is the first train to Tilbury?
173What CAN I do? 173 What State secret is to be filched?
173What about the Chinaman?
173What about those marks on the window- sill?
173What ails him?
173What am I? 173 What are we to do, sir?"
173What creature? 173 What did he do with the case in his hands?"
173What did he see?
173What did she mean?
173What did you do?
173What do we make of this?
173What do you mean, Sir Lionel?
173What do you mean?
173What do you mean?
173What do you propose to do?
173What do you wish us to do?
173What does it mean, Smith?
173What does it mean?
173What door?
173What fiend is this?
173What has happened?
173What has happened?
173What has he brought? 173 What have I all along maintained?"
173What in Heaven''s name can we do?
173What is Sir Lionel like?
173What is he to me, this Nayland Smith? 173 What is her secret?"
173What is it all about?
173What is it, Petrie?
173What is it? 173 What is it?"
173What is it?
173What is that you have in your hand?
173What is the meaning of the mutilated hands, Smith?
173What is your theory respecting this creature-- what shape, what color--?
173What kind of call?
173What reason did he give for so extraordinary a request?
173What size and shape?
173What then?
173What then?
173What was on the needle?
173What was that?
173What was the meaning of the horrible laughter which the river police heard in the fog? 173 What was the message?"
173What''s this?
173What, are you moved to London or something?
173What, to- night?
173What?
173Whatever do you mean, Miss Eltham?
173When will be the best time to seize Fu- Manchu and to restore your brother?
173Where am I? 173 Where can she have come from?"
173Where did he first see this green mist?
173Where did you find him-- exactly?
173Where in Heaven''s name are we?
173Where in Heaven''s name is that house situated? 173 Where is he?"
173Where is he?
173Where is he?
173Where is she?
173Where is the dacoit?
173Where?
173Who are you?
173Who is our host?
173Who occupies the adjoining house?
173Who''s there?
173Whom do you expect to find here?
173Whose name,he jerked abruptly,"stands now at the head of our danger list?"
173Why did you make no attempt to throw the pursuers off the track, to have them intercepted?
173Why do you keep the secrets of that man, when they mean death to so many?
173Why does she cling to that monster?
173Why have we been spared, Smith? 173 Why not arrest him now?"
173Why?
173Will you attend to him, Doctor?
173Will you please lead the way?
173Will you tell me where to find Fu- Manchu?
173Will you think over what I have told you? 173 Would it be possible to get Mrs. Weymouth out of the house before to- night?
173You are certain? 173 You are not playing with us?"
173You are sure,asked Smith keenly,"that it has actually left?"
173You are wondering what caused the''episcopal cloud?''
173You do n''t think it''s a trap?
173You do not know Sir Lionel Barton by sight?
173You do not think he referred to the mark on his own hand?
173You do not think we would harm you?
173You had been at work here in this way for some time?
173You heard him speak of his files and of his wire jacket?
173You heard nothing?
173You know what this presaged in Sir Crichton''s case? 173 You mean that if you speak, Fu- Manchu will find a way of killing you?"
173You mean that its arrival at the time when a creature of the Doctor-- Kwee-- was concealed here, may have been a coincidence?
173You mean that you can no longer rely upon me?
173You mean--?
173You observed the waterspout running up beside the window; you observed the iron bar intended to prevent a window- cleaner from falling out? 173 You regard the circumstances of his end as entirely consistent with a death from that cause?"
173You remember the cry in the back lane? 173 You supposed that I was alone?"
173You think he has been dead nearly twenty- four hours, Petrie?
173You think he meant to take him from here to London?
173You think it was the Doctor himself?
173You think this is the work of Fu- Manchu?
173You were Lord Southery''s valet?
173You were in Rangoon in 1908?
173You will be careful?
173You will fulfill your promise to me?
173You wish it to be kept secret?
173You would have warned Mr. Graham Guthrie?
173You''re sure it was n''t part of a Chinese make- up?
173Your defenses are not impregnable, after all, then?
173( 2) What had become of the mummy of Mekara?
173( 3) How had the murderer escaped from a locked room?
173( 4) What was the purpose of the rubber stopper?
173( 5) Why was Kwee hiding in the conservatory?
173( 6) Was the green mist a mere subjective hallucination-- a figment of Croxted''s imagination-- or had he actually seen it?
173A mental disease?
173After all, what proof had I that she was a willing accomplice of Dr. Fu- Manchu?
173Ah, why will you not unseal my lips?
173Am I right?"
173An evil spirit?
173And how, having mastered the dog, get out of Redmoat?
173And of what use to arrest his creatures?
173And then?
173And what about the green mist?"
173And what do you mean by an epidemic?"
173And where are the bodies?"
173And you reject his advice?
173Another question often put to me was: Where did the Doctor hide during the time that he pursued his operations in London?
173Are you sure you have made no mistake?"
173Because of heart failure?
173But have we time?"
173But how in the name of all that''s wonderful does he GET OUT?
173But if it were so?
173But if the same man wants to kill my father, why has he not done so?"
173But what could we do?
173But what do they want to do?
173But what do we know, Petrie, of those others who may die every week by his murderous agency?
173But where in Heaven''s name WAS he?
173But-- is it true that Sir Crichton Davey has been-- murdered?"
173But:"She said it was something he put in the wine?"
173By what agency had Sir Crichton met his death?
173Cadby''s death was from drowning, you say?"
173Can it be that we were drugged on that occasion with Indian hemp?
173Can they have been the eyes of Fu- Manchu?
173Can we do nothing to help?
173Can you doubt any longer?
173Can you put me up here, and spare a few days to the strangest business, I promise you, that ever was recorded in fact or fiction?"
173Could he be dead?
173Could it be Dr. Fu- Manchu?
173Could it be?
173Could you ever look another woman in the eyes-- one that you loved, and know that she trusted you-- if you had done such a thing?
173Did Nayland Smith know?
173Did he voluntarily ignite his own funeral pyre?
173Did we come up or down stream?"
173Did you bring the things I mentioned?"
173Did your protection save Sir Crichton Davey?"
173Do n''t you see?
173Do you follow me?
173Do you know of a back way to Shen- Yan''s?"
173Do you know of anything with a long, thin body?"
173Do you know what it means to have been a slave?
173Do you observe anything unusual yourself?
173Do you recall anything of the mysterious epidemic which broke out in Rangoon in 1908--the deaths due to the Call of Siva?"
173Do you see that?"
173Do you suppose that, granting MY irresponsibility, Dr. Petrie would countenance such a thing if he doubted the necessity?"
173Does it suggest anything to your mind?
173Does my poor history matter-- to anyone?"
173Dolan?"
173Elopement?
173For Heaven''s sake, from what?"
173For I do assure you there is something here in Redmoat-- something that comes and goes in spite of father''s''fortifications''?
173For what was she come now?
173For what?
173For what?"
173For, with Aziz, her brother, suspended between life and death, what could she do save obey the mandates of the cunning Chinaman?
173From which I gather that the district is beastly healthy-- what, Petrie?
173Fu- Manchu?"
173Fu- Manchu?"
173Fu- Manchu?"
173Fu- Manchu?"
173Fu- Manchu?"
173Had Fu- Manchu fled?
173Had his keener powers enabled him to recognize the unknown?
173Had the police seen us or had they hailed at random?
173Have I said that she was beautiful?
173Have you any idea whom it could have been?"
173Have you ever seen a wire jacket?
173Have you ever visited Molokai, the leper island, Doctor?
173He can not?
173He warned you to abandon your visit?
173How can I leave him when he holds the life of Aziz in his hand?"
173How can I paint the individual who now stood before us-- perhaps the greatest genius of modern times?
173How could I answer her arguments?
173How could I give her up, perhaps to stand her trial for murder?
173How could any kind of creature have got into Sir Crichton''s room tonight?"
173How did Sir Crichton die?"
173How long were you in China?"
173How should I go about my delicate task?
173How was it done?
173How would a run up the Nile fit your programme?
173How would he avenge himself upon the girl who had betrayed him to his enemies?
173How, then, shall I conclude this very unsatisfactory account?
173I assume that you would not accept my word for anything?"
173I cried,"what''s that?"
173I got out the whisky and siphon, saying:"You have taken your leave early?"
173I groaned;"can this be England?"
173I have been asked many times since the days with which these records deal: Who WAS Dr. Fu- Manchu?
173I have never met him-- never seen him, before; but I wonder--""You wonder what, Smith?"
173I muttered,"Where are you?
173I suppose I need not say that I could penetrate no farther into this, Fu- Manchu''s latest plot, than the drugging of Norris West with hashish?
173I think you asked me how long I was in China?
173I understand that Sir Crichton was-- seized with illness in his study?"
173If so, what did the future hold for me-- what had I to face?
173If you are suspected, you shall give the alarm?"
173In the lift:"Have you noticed anything suspicious about the place to- night?"
173Is he in London?"
173Is it agreed?"
173Is it any matter for wonder that such a people had produced a Fu- Manchu?
173Is some peculiarly unique outrage contemplated-- something calling for the presence of the master?"
173Is that the crook I''m indebted to for the loss of my plans?
173Is there any creature, any large creature, which could climb up the wall to the window?
173Is there any improvement in Mrs. Weymouth''s condition?"
173It has been asked of me: Was there no possibility of Fu- Manchu''s having eluded us in the ensuing confusion?
173It was awful-- that tense waiting-- for-- what?
173Mr. Smith, whatever age I live to, I''ll never forget that face I saw last night-- or did I see it?
173Must I soil my hands with such work?
173My pythons and hamadryads?
173My scorpions-- have you met my scorpions?
173No?
173No?
173Of the many whom this yellow cloud may at any moment envelop, to which one did her message refer?
173Of what country are you?"
173Of what was he in pursuit?
173Remember where he said the book was?
173Remove her to your place, for instance?"
173Shall I endeavor to describe my own tumultuous, conflicting emotions?
173Shall I lead the way?"
173Shall I tell you, finally, of my parting with lovely, dark- eyed Karamaneh, on board the liner which was to bear her to Egypt?
173She was frightened; yes, who would not have been?
173Should I, too, look back?
173Smith?"
173Smith?"
173Smokee pipe, you yellow scum-- savvy?"
173So how was the dog killed?"
173Such a course might be admissible in China, in Burma--""Do you weigh a life against such quibbles?
173Suicide?
173Supposing he uses that place, which is possible, how do you know he''s there to- night?"
173That man in the train with the case of instruments-- WHAT instruments?
173The honors, Mr. Smith, are mine, I think?"
173The white faces of the house servants showed at one window, and Miss Eltham called to me from her room:"Is he dead?"
173Then what am I?"
173Then:"Does this piece of ground extend down to the village, constable?"
173Then:"Have you any idea of the nature of the fluid in the phial?"
173Then:"What have you done with Professor Monde?"
173Then:"What''s this?"
173There is surely no room for doubt?"
173There must be a back entrance to the kitchens, and so on?"
173There, will you let me go?"
173Three nights ago Sir Crichton came out to me, and appeared very nervous; but at times his nerves-- you know?
173Upon whom now has Fu- Manchu set his death seal?"
173Warning to whom?
173Was it actually in the room?
173Was it outside, in the air?
173Was that lure of men even now in the house, completing her evil work?
173Was that possible?
173Was there no loophole of escape?
173Was there nothing visible?"
173Was this the end of his gallant fight with Dr. Fu- Manchu and the murder group?
173What Burmese ghoul had he loosed?
173What CAN it be?"
173What COULD I do?
173What about an official visit?"
173What attitude should I adopt?
173What became of the Grand Duke Stanislaus?
173What could I say?
173What did the signal mean?
173What did you mean when you rang us up?"
173What disguise do you propose to adopt?"
173What do we mean by Young China?
173What do you suspect?"
173What does it ALL mean?
173What does it matter?"
173What does it mean?"
173What faithful servant of the British Raj to be spirited away?
173What fate was in store for us?
173What group can we isolate and label as responsible for the overthrow of the Manchus?
173What happened last night, sir?
173What has occurred?"
173What have you taken from here?"
173What is it?
173What is the meaning of these perfumed envelopes?
173What killed Strozza?"
173What killed the Chinaman?"
173What now was my plain duty?
173What perverted genius controls this awful secret movement?"
173What portion awaited those enemies?
173What row?"
173What should I do?
173What uncanny secret did it hold?
173What was he?
173What was the hidden significance of the perfumed envelope?
173What--?"
173When did you awake?"
173When he was gone:"What do you think this knocking means, Smith?"
173When will the word come from Karamaneh?"
173Where did these things take place?
173Where is he?"
173Where''s our man?"
173Who else has eyes like the eyes Miss Eltham saw from the window last night?"
173Who is she?"
173Who uttered it?
173Who was he?"
173Who was his secret enemy?
173Who was that mysterious personage whom Smith so evidently dreaded, who had attempted his life, who, presumably, had murdered Sir Crichton?
173Who was the occupant of the room above?
173Why did M. Jules Furneaux fall dead in a Paris opera house?
173Why do you experience this feeling of horror?"
173Why do you hesitate?
173Why have you not told me before?
173Why was Sir Crichton Davey murdered?
173Why will you not trust us?"
173Will you carry him?"
173Will you give this to-- whomever you think proper?"
173You are perhaps going to ask me how Dr. Fu- Manchu has obtained power over such people as phansigars?
173You are sure that is where he was going?"
173You have seen how it was fastened about my throat?
173You may have recognized the fumes?
173You may remember that you were prevented from doing so by the arrival of Sir Lionel?
173You other two belong to this division?"
173You recognize your symptoms now from Bayard Taylor''s account?"
173You think the mummy was abstracted?"
173You understand?
173You will want to get there without being seen?
173Your troubles date from the time of your decision to return?"
173came a muffled voice;"what do you want?"
173continued Dr. Fu- Manchu--"you remember the Call?"
173cried a man in a white overall,"where d''you think you''re going?"
173do you not understand?"
173he laughed, and glanced at my unfinished MS."A story, eh?
173he said,"how can I hope to deal with the author of such a scheme?
173hissed Guthrie,"what was that?"
173is he not reviving slowly?
173what has happened?"
173why do you delay?"
2014A clue, Bunting?
2014A gentleman?
2014A sausage? 2014 A thousand?"
2014A-- a relative connected with one of the two victims''husbands, I presume?
2014About terms, sir?
2014About terms?
2014After all, he likes me to wait on him, does n''t he? 2014 Ai n''t you afraid of waking the lodger?"
2014Am I walking too quick for you, ma''am?''
2014And can you go there whenever you like?
2014And do you think Daisy likes him?
2014And what are you going to charge me?
2014And what d''you think about what''s going on now-- I mean about those Avenger murders?
2014And what d''you think we ought to do now?
2014And where did it happen?
2014And where was it posted?
2014And, Mrs. Bunting? 2014 And-- and, Bunting?
2014Another of them?
2014Any news of Miss Daisy?
2014Anything the matter, Ellen?
2014Anything the matter?
2014Are n''t you well?
2014Are you going off to that public- house now?
2014Avenger Inquest?
2014Been here?
2014Breakfast? 2014 But if you felt so bad, whatever was you out so long for, Bunting?
2014But what is man-- what is man''s puny power or strength against that of God, or even of those over whose feet God has set a guard?
2014But where-- and how?
2014Ca n''t you see I''m waiting to hear? 2014 Close to the other one?"
2014Cold?
2014D''you know anyone about the court?
2014D''you mean now-- this minute?
2014D''you mean that The Avenger may be a toff, staying in some West- end hotel, Mr. Bunting? 2014 D''you mean, Sir John, that murderers sometimes escape scot- free?
2014D''you really mean that there''s a museum where they keeps all sorts of things connected with crimes? 2014 D''you really mean that, Ellen?"
2014D''you really mean that, Joe?
2014D''you see the witnesses?
2014D''you think he was the man that woman said she saw? 2014 D''you think that a Bobby might do a thing like that?"
2014Daisy? 2014 De Leipsic and Liverpool man?"
2014Did n''t I? 2014 Did n''t he tell you if the piece of paper on which the murderer had written his name was square or three- cornered?"
2014Did n''t that old cook get married just after us? 2014 Did n''t you get a paper?"
2014Did she send a telegram?
2014Did the lodger come in after all? 2014 Did you ever hear what a certain Mrs. Pearce did?"
2014Did you hear that?
2014Do n''t you know what it was they were calling out?
2014Do n''t you remember telling me before Daisy came here that Joe Chandler had become sweet on her last summer? 2014 Do they, indeed?"
2014Do you ever try and make to yourself a picture of what the master''s like?
2014Ellen, is the lodger in? 2014 Ellen?"
2014Ellen?
2014Ellen?
2014Four rooms? 2014 Going to give evidence?"
2014Gone away, has he?
2014Gone, Bunting?
2014Gone?
2014Had n''t seen her for quite a long time, I suppose?
2014Has Miss Daisy arrived?
2014Have a bit of something now?
2014Have n''t I a right to be ill, have n''t I a right to be took bad, aye, and to feel all right again-- same as other people?
2014Have n''t you anything better to do than to stare at me like that?
2014Have they caught him?
2014Have you a pain anywhere?
2014Have you seen the bits of grey paper on which the monster writes his name?
2014He did look bad, did n''t he, now?
2014He looked up at you?
2014He said it would do quite well when you take up his supper,said Bunting; and, then,"Ellen?
2014How about Saturday?
2014How about the lodger, Ellen? 2014 How can I draw ordinary animals when I see these half- human monsters staring at me all the time I am having my breakfast, my lunch, and my dinner?"
2014How can we hope to get lodgers if they ca n''t even see the card?
2014How could I have slept through all that din? 2014 How d''you mean?"
2014I be afraid?
2014I daresay I''m a bit slow, Ellen, but I really do n''t know what you''d be at?
2014I expect you went though a pretty bad time, did n''t you?
2014I hope it''s quite safe sending her off like that?
2014I hope they gave you a cup of tea?
2014I hope you did n''t make yourself too cheap?
2014I should say that man''ud got something on his conscience, would n''t you?
2014I suppose I''m not to do your room till you goes out, sir?
2014I suppose a good many murderers get off?
2014I suppose that you do n''t know that you''ve left the light burning in the hall, wasting our good money?
2014I suppose you have a key to the door of this room, Mrs. Bunting? 2014 I suppose you went to see the place?"
2014I think I''d better go up, eh, Ellen?
2014I think, Mrs. Bunting, that there was someone with you outside the door just now?
2014I thought maybe you''d like to have supper a little earlier to- night, sir?
2014I thought that''twas from the bedroom window a woman saw him?
2014I wonder why he''s on duty?
2014I wonder, how long that old aunt of hers expects us to keep her?
2014I''d better clear away, sir, had I not?
2014I''m afraid you''re ill, Ellen?
2014I''m afraid, Mr. Bunting, that you must have felt something dirty, foul, on my coat? 2014 I-- smiling?
2014If you could really see his countenance, for we know the night was dark and foggy, will you please tell me what he was like?
2014In what that old gent said? 2014 Indeed, sir?"
2014Indeed? 2014 Indeed?"
2014Inquest? 2014 Is it indeed, sir?"
2014Is it not a fact that you let lodgings?
2014Is it not a strange thing, Mrs. Bunting, that people who have all day in which to amuse themselves should carry their revels far into the night?
2014Is that someone coming in here?
2014It would n''t be very pleasant to run up against such a party as that in the fog, eh, Ellen?
2014It''s Sir John Burney-- I suppose you know who Sir John Burney is?
2014It''s a bit of fish to- day, is n''t it? 2014 Just a friend of yours, was it, Mrs. Bunting?
2014Just hand that bit of paper over, will you?
2014Just tell me that, Joe?
2014Knives?
2014May I ask to be accommodated with a seat for the rest of the proceedings? 2014 Mr.--ah-- Mr.--is it Can not?"
2014Mrs. Bunting she talks as if your daughter was going to stay with that old woman the whole of her natural life-- now is that right? 2014 Mrs. Bunting, may I ask you to come here?"
2014Mrs. Bunting, may I trouble you to come over here for a moment?
2014My girl?
2014No arrest I suppose?
2014No?
2014Oh, did you?
2014Oh, sir,she had exclaimed in dismay,"whatever are you doing?"
2014On to- night?
2014Ought not Miss Ellen Green,so the man had asked,"to have told someone of the girl''s threat?
2014So that''s your idea about him, is it?
2014Something else happened?
2014Something out of the barmaid?
2014Still snowing?
2014Surely I had a bag when I came in?
2014That reminds me that I ought n''t to be wasting my time in pleasant company--"Wo n''t you stay and have a bit of dinner?
2014That''s never Mr. Sleuth going out?
2014The Black Museum? 2014 The police?"
2014Then The Avenger may be quite a different sort of man?
2014Then do they think there''s more than one of them?
2014Then it do n''t seem to you possible--?
2014Then it''s your idea that he''s not responsible for the wicked things he does?
2014Then that''s why you was n''t able to go and fetch Daisy, I suppose?
2014Then the five thousand constables were n''t no use?
2014Then this Gaboriyou has come over to study these Avenger murders, I take it?
2014Then when is that girl coming home?
2014Then why do n''t you catch him?
2014Then why on earth did n''t he go and fetch Daisy, if he''d time to come here?
2014Then you do n''t think there was anything in what he said?
2014Then you have n''t got a slot machine?
2014Then you think that woman as says she saw him did see him?
2014Then you''re not afraid about your eyes, sir?
2014They do say,observed Bunting cautiously,"They do say, Joe, that the police have a clue they wo n''t say nothing about?"
2014Two? 2014 Up to John- o''-Groat''s?"
2014Was it then they found--she hesitated a moment, and then said,"it?"
2014Was it where the others was done?
2014Well, I hope he paid up all right?
2014Well, I take it, by what you said just now, that you''ve never walked out with any young fellow?
2014Well, I''ve never said you was never right, have I? 2014 Well, Joe, is there anything new?"
2014Well, Joe? 2014 Well, Joe?
2014Well, d''you remember that fellow what killed an old gentleman in a railway carriage? 2014 Well, it does seem queer that the police ca n''t catch him, now does n''t it?"
2014Well, it''s clear enough, is n''t it?
2014Well, it''s none of your business, Bunting, now, is it?
2014Well, what d''you say to the day after to- morrow, Mr. Bunting? 2014 Well, what do you think?"
2014Well? 2014 Well?"
2014Well?
2014Well?
2014Well?
2014Well?
2014Well?
2014Well?
2014Well?
2014What about the clue?
2014What are you grinning at?
2014What are you smiling at?
2014What d''you mean?
2014What d''you mean?
2014What d''you mean?
2014What d''you think of that? 2014 What day did your mother mention would be convenient to her?"
2014What do I mean?
2014What do you mean?
2014What do you mean?
2014What do you say, Miss Daisy?
2014What do you think, Joe?
2014What is it, Ellen?
2014What is it, Joe?
2014What is it, my dear? 2014 What letter d''you mean?"
2014What makes you think he may n''t come back?
2014What shall I do if Mr. Sleuth rings?
2014What sort of a hat was this man wearing when you saw him hurrying from the passage?
2014What time d''you expect Daisy?
2014What was he like?
2014What''ll Old Aunt say, I wonder?
2014What''ll yer''ave, sir?
2014What''s all this about?
2014What''s that?
2014What--what, may I ask, is your husband''s occupation?
2014What? 2014 What?
2014Whatever are those little bottles for?
2014Whatever are you doing? 2014 Whatever d''you think he wanted?"
2014Whatever does he do with himself all day?
2014Whatever does that mean?
2014Whatever for?
2014Whatever for?
2014Whatever have you done to yourself?
2014Whatever makes them think such a silly thing as that?
2014Whatever sort of bag might it have been, Joe?
2014Whatever was that?
2014Whatever''s those?
2014Where did it happen?
2014Where''s Daisy?
2014Where''s my girl?
2014Who''s that?
2014Whoever can that be?
2014Why bloodhounds? 2014 Why did n''t you let me know about it?
2014Why on earth did n''t the people who saw him try and catch him?
2014Why should we stay out here in the cold? 2014 Why should we?"
2014Why that, Joe?
2014Why, Ellen, do n''t you feel well?
2014Why, Ellen,she said,"I suppose I was that tired, and slept so sound, that I never heard you come to bed or get up-- funny, was n''t it?"
2014Why, Joe? 2014 Why, Joe?"
2014Why, father, ai n''t you well?
2014Why, father, whatever''s the matter with her?
2014Why, whatever for?
2014Why, whatever''s that?
2014Why, whatever''s this?
2014Why, whoever can that be?
2014Will he be there?
2014Will they be having that old gentleman again?
2014Will you just look at the bedroom, sir?
2014Will you please accept this little gift for the use you kindly allowed me to make of your kitchen last night?
2014With a bag?
2014Wo n''t you wait a bit longer for Bunting?
2014Would n''t you like me just to make you a cup of tea?
2014Would n''t you like me to bring up another scuttleful of coals, sir? 2014 Would n''t you like me to go with you?"
2014Would you like a description of him circulated?
2014Would you like to go in and see them?
2014Yes, Ellen?
2014Yes, I suppose you''ve had the case turned up?
2014Yes, my dear?
2014Yes, sir? 2014 Yes, sir?"
2014Yes, sir?
2014Yes, that he did, poor gentleman-- your lodger, too?
2014Yes, what is it, Joe?
2014Yes?
2014Yes?
2014Yes?
2014Yes?
2014Yes?
2014You did ring, sir?
2014You do n''t mean there was a policeman there, within a few yards?
2014You do n''t mean to say, Ellen, that you ca n''t even tell me where it happened?
2014You do n''t think,went on Bunting, lowering his voice,"that he could be just staying somewhere, lodging like?"
2014You mean that you''ll never catch him?
2014You might just let me have one peep at him, Ellen?
2014You said there was a clue?
2014You was saying, Joe, that they found a weapon?
2014You wo n''t mind being alone, here? 2014 You''ll allow I''ve been useful to you, Ellen?
2014You''re never going out this afternoon, sir?
2014You''re never going to shut him out?
2014Your hands are n''t tied, and your eyes are n''t bandaged, Joe?
2014Your husband--?
2014''And who be you?''
2014''Tain''t like Ellen this, is it now?"
2014A penny?
2014After his wife had let their friend out, Bunting said cheerfully,"Joe seems to like our Daisy, eh, Ellen?"
2014Ai n''t you finished yet?"
2014And I think there''s a very good chance of his being caught too--""I suppose there''ll be a lot on the watch to- night, eh?"
2014And Mrs. Bunting broke in, in a lower voice,"Yes, Joe-- that seems odd, do n''t it?"
2014And a coat-- were you able to see what sort of a coat he was wearing?"
2014And are they sure''tis his?"
2014And as she stepped down the short bit of passage she said to herself,"A clue?
2014And his money, too?
2014And if I offered you two pounds, or two guineas?
2014And if that had been true then, how much truer it was now-- after nine long, empty days had gone by?
2014And it wo n''t do to have a respectable appearance-- eh?"
2014And now?
2014And then it is n''t so very long since you had your dinner, is it?"
2014And then, a few minutes later,"Had n''t you better put your hat and coat on and go out?"
2014And then, for the first time, Mrs. Bunting spoke:"What was that word, Joe--''perpetrators''?
2014And then, in a changed, in a ringing, nervous tone, he asked,"And how about your job, Joe?
2014And then, in sudden terror,"You''ve never come to tell me that anything''s happened to Bunting?
2014And then, that horrid monster''ull soon be at his work again--""Monster?"
2014And then, with an effort,"Ought n''t I to go into the court now, if it''s likely to be so full?"
2014And then,"Where''s my bag?"
2014And then,"Why, father, ai n''t you going out to get a paper?"
2014And then-- then-- where would she, and--and Mr. Sleuth, be?
2014And what d''you think he did?
2014And would you tell me what you''d like for supper?
2014And yet, what could she do?
2014Another woman murdered last night?"
2014Are n''t you surprised?"
2014Are you down there?"
2014Been up since four, too--""Four?"
2014Bunting--?"
2014Bunting?"
2014Bunting?"
2014Bunting?"
2014Bunting?"
2014Bunting?"
2014Bunting?"
2014Bunting?"
2014Bunting?"
2014Bunting?"
2014Bunting?"
2014Bunting?"
2014Bunting?"
2014But Bunting sat on, absorbed in his newspaper; all he did at the sound of the bedroom door opening was to look up and say,"Did n''t you hear a knock?"
2014But I wonder how Old Aunt''d like the notion?
2014But he did look upset, did n''t he, Ellen?
2014But how about her-- her herself?"
2014But how could she prevent it?
2014But now?
2014But now?
2014But she''s got quite fond of you, so perhaps if you ask her--?"
2014But the cabman what brought Daisy told me--""Well?"
2014But what was this father was saying?
2014But what was this--?
2014But will you be all right, Ellen?
2014But would Ellen ever let her go out by herself with Mr. Chandler?
2014But, Miss Daisy"--he grew very red--"I''d just like to ask you a question-- no offence meant--""Yes?"
2014But, there, how can that be done in London, full of butchers''shops, to say nothing of slaughter- yards and other places o''that sort?"
2014By the way, did the lodger ring while I was out?"
2014Can not?
2014Chandler?"
2014Close to us?"
2014Cold?
2014D''you hear that?"
2014D''you mean you only went to get the paper?"
2014Did they save her?
2014Did you ever hear o''such a thing?"
2014Did you really?"
2014Did you see this person go off in the direction of-- of King''s Cross, for instance?"
2014Do you know him?"
2014Ellen?
2014Getting up from her chair she came towards her husband:"What happened?
2014Going on all right, eh?"
2014Had n''t I better just tell Daisy to see to it, and then I can take it up to him, as you''re not feeling quite the thing, Ellen?"
2014Have you heard about the letter?"
2014He declared-- what was the word he used?"
2014He is gone on her, ai n''t he?"
2014He looked at the coroner expectantly--"Well?
2014He looked round at his hostess:"Would n''t you join us, Mrs. Bunting?
2014He nodded his head, and then, after standing silent a little, as if absorbed in thought,"Forty- two shillings a week?
2014He put the paper he had been holding down on to the table:"Well,"he said,"well, who was it, then?"
2014He wanted to get the strong, acrid smell of burning-- was it of burning wool?
2014He was carrying a bag--""A bag?"
2014He''s not had an accident?"
2014Here''s his false stump: you see, it''s made of wood--wood and black felt?
2014How about those eggs, Bunting?
2014How can I manage to do it with this here heavy tray on my hands?"
2014How could she have dropped off like that?
2014How could she have thought it was anything else?
2014How could she share her dreadful burden with poor Bunting?
2014How d''you spell it-- S- l- u- t- h?"
2014How if she did light the fire here, in their bedroom?
2014I am quite willing to pay you-- well, shall we say a month in advance?"
2014I expect the lodger feels like Mrs. Crowley-- I''ve often told you about her, Ellen?"
2014I hope you did n''t ring, sir?"
2014I hope you found the doctor all right?"
2014I suppose he''s upstairs now?"
2014I suppose it''d be too good news to expect you to tell us they''ve caught him?"
2014I suppose it''ll do all right if I start about eleven o''clock?
2014I suppose there''s been another?"
2014I suppose you''re all just waiting for the next time?"
2014I suppose you''ve brought us news?
2014I understood you wanted the loan of it?"
2014I wonder what it is he wants?
2014If she had done so, might not the girl have been prevented from throwing herself into the lake?"
2014If they did anything to upset him, where could they ever hope to get another like him?
2014In any case, where would have been the good of worrying about the lodger''s funny ways?
2014In her ears there still rang the Frenchman''s half careless yet confident question,"De Leipsic and Liverpool man?"
2014Instead-- Why, what was this she heard now?
2014Is he all right?"
2014Is that all you wants to talk about?
2014Is that all?"
2014Is there anything I can do to help you?"
2014It is impossible that the perpetrator of such deeds, however nomad he may be in his habits--""Now I wonder what''nomad''can be?"
2014It was n''t the sort of night one would have chosen to go out for a walk, now was it?
2014Just as Joe had put his finger on his lip Daisy had been asking,"Shall I read this, father?"
2014Lodgers?
2014Might I then rely on your not taking another lodger?"
2014Nine, or was it ten?
2014Not by bus, eh?
2014Not the Commissioner o''Police?"
2014Nothing new, I take it?
2014Now, surely, would be a good opportunity for a little genial conversation?
2014Of course, you''ll be a long time if it''s your idea to see that doctor at Ealing?"
2014Oh, you''re thinking of those newspaper chaps?
2014One does n''t like to know such a creature''s at large, now, does one?"
2014Or-- or d''you think he''ll have to be at that inquest, Bunting?"
2014Plucking up courage, Bunting called out, his voice echoing freshly on the still air:"Mr. Sleuth, sir?
2014Quick work that, eh?"
2014See that man''s jacket there?"
2014Shall I take the bottle away?
2014She had not made him angry by that, that-- was it a hint she had meant to convey to him?
2014She hesitated a moment, then asked stiffly,"And will you be requiring any beer, or wine, sir?"
2014She read out:"BLOODHOUNDS TO BE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED""Bloodhounds?"
2014She was listening, interested- like, to what I was telling her, and then, suddenly-- well, you saw how she was took, father?
2014So it''s you, Mr. Bunting?
2014Stop-- had she told a lie?
2014Suddenly the door in front of him opened, and he beard a familiar voice saying crossly, yet anxiously,"What on earth are you doing out there, Bunting?
2014Surely by now The Avenger must be avenged?
2014Surely the lodger was not going out again into the cold and foggy night-- going out, as he had done the other evening, for a second time?
2014Take that going out at night, or rather in the early morning, for instance?
2014Take the man who has been committing all these awful murders this last month?
2014Tell me quick; what is it?"
2014That young man what passed her with a newspaper parcel?"
2014That''s not a pleasant thing for a gentleman as is doing his best to read, eh?"
2014That''s what I wants to ask you, Mr. Bunting,--is that right?"
2014The Avenger?
2014Then he''ll go and turn in a bit before going off to fetch Daisy, Fine thing to be young, ai n''t it, Ellen?"
2014Then she had not offended her lodger?
2014Then you think, Joe, that the monster''ll be on the job again to- night?"
2014Then, struck by a look in his eyes,"Joe, what''s the matter?"
2014There''s been another murder, has n''t there?"
2014They have to be-- otherwise who''d believe''em?
2014Things like knives murders have been committed with?"
2014Warm and cosy?
2014Was he not-- was he not an almost perfect lodger?
2014Was it possible that the curious way she had been taken just now had had nothing to do with the shouts and excitement outside?
2014Was it possible that their place was being watched-- already?
2014Was it to- morrow Daisy was coming back?
2014Was that all?
2014Was there any new evidence-- evidence of which Joe Chandler, for instance, was ignorant?
2014We''re right in the middle of everything now, ai n''t we?"
2014Well, he guessed the constables were instructed to look out for a man missing a finger; so what did he do?"
2014Well, that do n''t seem much of a clue, does it, Miss Daisy?
2014Well?
2014What can I do for you, sir?
2014What clue?"
2014What d''you exactly mean by that, Bunting?"
2014What did he mean by that?
2014What had made him alter all of a sudden-- if, that is, he had altered?
2014What had she said?
2014What had the five thousand constables been about to let such a dreadful thing happen?
2014What if the lodger did make a certain amount of mess-- a certain amount of smell-- in her nice clean kitchen?
2014What inquest?"
2014What is he really like?
2014What is it?"
2014What makes you think that?"
2014What on earth are you doing?"
2014What was it made the flames of the fire shoot up, shoot down, in that queer way?
2014What was that Bunting was saying?
2014What was that they was shouting about the Edgware Road?"
2014What would you say to twenty- five shillings a week, sir?"
2014Whatever had made such horrible thoughts and suspicions as had possessed him suddenly come into his head?
2014Whatever made you come out for, without first making sure I''d stay in?"
2014Whatever made you think that?
2014Whatever other place could the girl go to?"
2014Whatever sort of a thing is it?
2014Whatever''s the matter with me?"
2014When he reached the door he turned round, and with elaborate carelessness he inquired,"Any chance of Miss Daisy coming to London again soon?"
2014Who came?"
2014Who''d ever have thought of such a thing?"
2014Who''d ever think of that?"
2014Who''d shelter such a creature?
2014Why could n''t Bunting have lain quiet abed for awhile longer, and let his poor wife go on dreaming?
2014Why could n''t Mr. Sleuth''s experiment wait till the morning?
2014Why could n''t they talk of something pleasant when they did have a quiet bit of time together?
2014Why do n''t you tell me about it?"
2014Why do n''t you tell me?"
2014Why do n''t you wait till she''s come home to help you?"
2014Why had she allowed, nay encouraged, Daisy to go away for two days?
2014Why not wait till to- morrow, and take Daisy with you?"
2014Why should I be?
2014Why should n''t I just take a bus and go over and see Margaret?
2014Why, we might knock up against some murderer any minute without knowing it, might n''t we?"
2014Why, whatever did he come here for, excepting to tell us all about it?"
2014Why, whatever do they have a museum in your place for?"
2014Will that suit you, Ellen?"
2014Will you believe me when I tells you that that other bit of button was discovered, and that it hanged the fellow?
2014Wonderful thought, ai n''t it?"
2014Wonderful what love will do, ai n''t it?
2014Would it be possible for me to get out that way?"
2014Would you like me to bring you up that other paper, sir?"
2014Would you like me to go out and get you another bottle, sir?"
2014Would you like the knocker taken off to- morrow?
2014Yes-- I think I understand that the house in which you are lodging exactly faces the alley where the two crimes were committed?"
2014You do n''t suppose I would have let you wash in dirty water, do you?"
2014You further declare that you met him on the very night he committed the murder we are now investigating?"
2014You got my telegram all right?
2014You knows the place nearly as well as I do, do n''t you?"
2014You look here--?"
2014You''re going by train, ai n''t you?
2014he gasped hoarsely,"you''ve never gone and left my little girl alone in the house with the lodger?"
2014he said, much moved by her agitation,"Ellen?
2014where are you?"
19369''"Are you hurt, Jack?"
19369''"What is that fool Ed doing?"
19369''After all the teaching I have bestowed upon you, Doyle, is it possible that you can not deduct even so simple a thing as that?
19369''Ah, monsieur,''he cried,''back already?
19369''Ah, then you_ do_ intend to destroy it?''
19369''Ah, you see an additional likeness between my uncle and myself this morning, then?
19369''Am I acquainted with him?''
19369''Am I also wrong in deducting that you have had nothing to eat since you left London?''
19369''Am I ever likely to forget him?''
19369''Am I to consider myself under arrest?''
19369''Am I to infer, Lady Alicia, that you are in possession of certain facts unknown either to your uncle or the police?''
19369''Am I under arrest?''
19369''And Podgers has been all over the place?''
19369''And collected a pound from him?''
19369''And likely to fall in with two ruffians?''
19369''And may I place within some little design of my own which will astonish your friends the English, and delight my friends the French?''
19369''And might I ask what those conclusions are?''
19369''And now, Monsieur Valmont, do you wish smoke to issue from this imitation bomb?''
19369''And that was the last you saw of them?''
19369''And the evening papers?''
19369''And the fare you were following?
19369''And this you refused?''
19369''And what became of the money?''
19369''And what did you do?
19369''And what of Lord Rantremly''s son?''
19369''And where is the mystery, might I ask?''
19369''And why is it locked up?''
19369''And you saw nothing of the closed cab right at your elbow?''
19369''And your fare?''
19369''Anything else you fancy, sir?''
19369''Anything else, Podgers?
19369''Anything further I can do?''
19369''Are there any women servants in the house?''
19369''Are they very valuable?''
19369''Are you connected with Scotland Yard, Monsieur Valmont?''
19369''Are you going to meet him tomorrow?''
19369''Are you no longer in Government service then?''
19369''Are you sure of that?''
19369''Are you sure the Scotch Express on the 21st did not stop between London and Brewster?''
19369''As this strong box was bought second- hand and not made to order, I suppose there can be no secret crannies in it?''
19369''At what hour does your master retire to his study?''
19369''At what time did you reach the Pont de Neuilly?''
19369''At your master''s town house?''
19369''Brought him with me?''
19369''But how do you account for the disappearance of the money?''
19369''But surely Mr. Carter does not refuse to carry out his engagement because the jewels have been stolen?''
19369''But surely, my lord, a man who owns, as one might say, a principality in this wealthy realm of England, can not be penniless?''
19369''But what have I had to do with it?''
19369''But which is it?
19369''By one of the passengers?''
19369''Ca n''t you be honest, even on Christmas Eve?
19369''Confession?
19369''Could I get accommodation in the castle itself?''
19369''Did I kill him?''
19369''Did he leave the window open, and the ladder in place?''
19369''Did he look behind, or appear to know that he was being followed?''
19369''Did he show any surprise when you mentioned the theft?''
19369''Did he use a separate key, or one of a bunch?''
19369''Did you ever see your master with this bunch of keys?''
19369''Did you give that name to the police?''
19369''Did you go to the ball that night?''
19369''Did you know Wyoming Ed?''
19369''Did you notice that extracts have been clipped from any of them?''
19369''Did you put them ashore between here and Denouval?''
19369''Did you take up a passenger a few minutes past three o''clock on the Boulevard des Italiens, near the Crédit- Lyonnais?
19369''Direct?''
19369''Do I need to sign any form or undertaking to pay the rest?''
19369''Do n''t you see that no person on earth would suspect two criminals of making for London when they have the whole country before them?
19369''Do they appear to have been read very carefully?''
19369''Do you believe in ghosts, Monsieur Valmont?''
19369''Do you know where he lives?
19369''Do you know where they are?''
19369''Do you know where you are going, monsieur?
19369''Do you mean to insult me, sir?''
19369''Do you mean to tell me that the second man who came on your launch at the Pont de Neuilly is not the American who engaged you?''
19369''Do you mind the change being all in silver, sir?''
19369''Do you recognise that?''
19369''Do you take me for a man who bolts when his enemy appears?''
19369''Do you think we wo n''t get the emeralds then?''
19369''Do you think your niece suspects him?''
19369''Do you wish me to give you the name of the criminal?''
19369''Does Mr. Summertrees keep a scrapbook?''
19369''Does he come out for lunch?''
19369''Does he go away before breakfast?''
19369''Does he go direct to the dining- room?''
19369''Does he ring, or let himself in with a latchkey?''
19369''Does n''t that strike you as very extraordinary?''
19369''Does the clerk ever dine with your master?''
19369''Does the safe unlock with a word or a key?''
19369''Does the steward know the money is missing?''
19369''Does this evidence convince you that he stole the necklace?''
19369''Eccentric?''
19369''Enough to go on with?
19369''For how long was he sentenced?''
19369''For someone in England?''
19369''From what quay?''
19369''Had it anything to do with silver spoons?''
19369''Has he fainted?''
19369''Has my uncle acquainted you with particulars of the robbery?''
19369''Have n''t you a place on Wimbledon Common?
19369''Have n''t you followed the clerk?''
19369''Have n''t you found out where the money comes from?''
19369''Have they eluded you?''
19369''Have you asked him to do this?''
19369''Have you brought the swag, Sir George?''
19369''Have you done nothing about this for the past ten years?''
19369''Have you ever seen Sarah Bernhardt?''
19369''Have you fallen heir to the lands as well as to the title?''
19369''Have you had the library cleared out?''
19369''Have you kept up communication with the young man?''
19369''Have you not brought him with you?''
19369''Have you received the money?''
19369''Have you seen him unlock the safe and put in the money?''
19369''Have you spoken to any one of your loss?
19369''Have you the numbers of the notes?''
19369''He paid you well, I suppose?''
19369''He put up the money, did he?''
19369''He wishes it returned, does he?''
19369''Here?''
19369''His anvil?''
19369''How about the ghost with a club- foot, my lord?''
19369''How are you getting on?''
19369''How came he to die?''
19369''How can a sane man hold a theory about a ghost?
19369''How can you call that simple?
19369''How can you propose such a thing?
19369''How could you guess that?''
19369''How dared you burn that sheet?''
19369''How did he take your news?''
19369''How did you come to be in the yacht at all?''
19369''How do you know he is not the real coiner himself?''
19369''How do you know my name?''
19369''How do you know?''
19369''How does he carry the money?''
19369''How many know it?''
19369''How many waiters served it?''
19369''How many?''
19369''How much money do you estimate he accumulated?''
19369''How, for instance, did you learn that I was a bibliophile?''
19369''I can and will,''I interrupted; then, turning to Sanderson, I demanded:--''When are you to meet this man next?''
19369''I must say you use extraordinary terms, Mr-- Mr-- What did you say the name was?''
19369''I need not ask if you have searched the library?''
19369''I presume you wish the solution in time for tomorrow''s paper?''
19369''I say, boys,''ejaculated the ex- convict, with an uneasy laugh, half- comic, half- bewildered,''this is a sort of mix- up, is n''t it?
19369''I suppose you want me to take Podgers''position?''
19369''I vaguely remember that he was accredited with the possession of something like twenty thousand acres of land?''
19369''If that is true, why did he scream as he went over?''
19369''If that was not your name, why did you use it?''
19369''In October, 1893, you sold Lord Semptam a carved antique table for fifty pounds?''
19369''In his pocket, you mean?''
19369''In other words, you wish me to bribe the officials of the jail?''
19369''In the name of all that''s wonderful, how do you know that?''
19369''Inspector Standish,''I cried,''is it within your power to arrest a man on suspicion?''
19369''Is John Haddon rich?''
19369''Is Summertrees a married man?''
19369''Is he still butler?''
19369''Is he the son of the late lord?''
19369''Is his name known to you?''
19369''Is it a dummy fireplace, then?''
19369''Is it foggy outside?''
19369''Is it possible that there may have been some communication on the white border of a newspaper?''
19369''Is there a window looking out from the reception- room?''
19369''It''s not all the new coinage, then?''
19369''Lady Alicia, surely you would not countenance the profaning of that lovely old edifice with a mock ceremonial?
19369''Locks the door on the inside?''
19369''Looks like a stable, does n''t it?''
19369''May I take it that in the City, that sensible, commercial portion of London, no spirits are believed in except those sold over the bars?''
19369''Me?
19369''Monsieur Valmont,''began Lord Chizelrigg,''do you ever take up cases on speculation?''
19369''Monsieur Valmont?''
19369''My lord?''
19369''My most estimable friend, how often have I told you not to jump at conclusions?
19369''Neither of them went into the reception- room, I take it?''
19369''Never rings for anything during the day?''
19369''No one takes breakfast to his room?''
19369''No precautions need be taken?''
19369''No; I do not believe that he actually stole it, but I am persuaded he was an accessory after the fact-- is that the legal term?
19369''Not at home?''
19369''Nothing suspicious about the old curiosity shop?''
19369''Now, own up, Valmont, was n''t it?''
19369''Of Park Lane?
19369''Of what am I accused?''
19369''Of what is his household comprised?''
19369''Oh, an author, is he?
19369''Oh, does Dacre refer to his own conjuring?''
19369''Oh, is that you, Monsieur Valmont?
19369''On speculation, sir?
19369''Once the money is in and the safe locked up, what does the clerk do?''
19369''Pardon me, but do these facts tend to incriminate the young man?''
19369''Possibly you put the task into incompetent hands?''
19369''Really?
19369''Saw no signs of a coining establishment?''
19369''Searched it?
19369''Sir,''said I,''do you remember Eugène Valmont?''
19369''So now you understand how important it is that I should regain possession of my property?''
19369''Suppose I take this book at ten pounds, what instalment should I have to pay each week?''
19369''The dinner was fetched in from outside, I suppose?''
19369''The house consists of four stories and a basement, does it?''
19369''The other cab was an open vehicle, you say?''
19369''The scheme for bribing the American officials is yours, then?''
19369''The silver spoons?''
19369''Then surely you will advance the fifty thousand necessary?''
19369''Then the American is still aboard?''
19369''Then the clerk unlocks his leather money bag?''
19369''Then the tall man with the black beard is still with you?''
19369''Then who are the coiners?''
19369''Then who put up the coin?''
19369''Then why are you standing here like a fool?''
19369''Then why did he steal them?''
19369''Then why do you come?''
19369''Then why should he jump overboard?''
19369''Then why should you indulge him?''
19369''Then will you do this?
19369''Then you must have reached Neuilly bridge about four o''clock?''
19369''Then, if you can prove that, why not apply for a new trial?''
19369''This game has been going on under your noses for how long?''
19369''This go- between, as we may call him, is the third person in the secret?
19369''This has happened every day since you''ve been there?''
19369''To me?
19369''Valmont,''he said quietly,''on whose behalf did you search my house?''
19369''Was John Haddon there?''
19369''Was he a Frenchman?''
19369''Was he carrying a box?''
19369''Was the ceremony genuine then?''
19369''Was the man to whom he gave the box an American also?''
19369''Was the man who had the jewels a Frenchman?''
19369''Was your uncle a religious man?''
19369''Well, captain, is there anything else you have to tell me?
19369''Well, madam, what do you expect of me?''
19369''Well?''
19369''Were they fastened on the night of the dinner party?''
19369''What American, sir?''
19369''What French trick, Monsieur Spenser Hale?''
19369''What I mean is, do you accept a case on a contingent fee?
19369''What I meant was, Podgers, is he silent, or talkative, or does he get angry?
19369''What am I to call you?''
19369''What are you doing there?''
19369''What are you laughing at?''
19369''What are you two doing down there?''
19369''What are you?''
19369''What bearing has all this on our own case?''
19369''What became of him?''
19369''What became of the cheap paper?''
19369''What became of the weapon?''
19369''What could I do?''
19369''What do you mean by that?''
19369''What do you wish me to do?''
19369''What forces you to that conclusion, my lady?''
19369''What has become of the clergyman?''
19369''What is he, then?''
19369''What is the evidence against him?''
19369''What is the name of this young man?''
19369''What is your own theory?''
19369''What is your proof against this Italian?''
19369''What is your theory regarding this ghost, my lord?''
19369''What jewels, sir?''
19369''What job?''
19369''What made you think that the butler was mounting the stair when he fell?''
19369''What makes you think that?''
19369''What name?''
19369''What of Dacre?''
19369''What sort of a man is he?''
19369''What time does he leave the house?''
19369''What was his crime?''
19369''What was it?''
19369''What was its number?''
19369''What work did he do at his forge?''
19369''What, all the morning papers?''
19369''What, and have never let me know?
19369''What, do you think the receiver is as bad as the thief?''
19369''When did you leave there?''
19369''When does he read?''
19369''When is breakfast served?''
19369''Where are the morning papers placed?''
19369''Where are you going?''
19369''Where did he tell you to drive?''
19369''Where did you come from?''
19369''Where do you meet him?
19369''Where do you sleep?''
19369''Where does the master sleep?''
19369''Where is my father?''
19369''Where is that butler?''
19369''Where is the American?''
19369''Where is the secret door?''
19369''Where is this room?''
19369''Where shall we begin?''
19369''Which guest drew your attention to the money?''
19369''Which one?''
19369''Who engaged you to make this voyage?''
19369''Who is Colonel Jim?''
19369''Who is he?''
19369''Who is this man, and where does he live?''
19369''Who is your father?''
19369''Who takes them from the study?''
19369''Who told you that?''
19369''Who was Eugène Valmont?''
19369''Who?''
19369''Why did n''t they arrest him?''
19369''Why did n''t you follow the cab?''
19369''Why did you do that?''
19369''Why do n''t you arrest and question him?''
19369''Why do you take this direction?''
19369''Why?
19369''Why?''
19369''Will Brother Simard come forward?''
19369''Will you be seated, Mr. Macpherson?
19369''Will you name him?''
19369''Will you oblige me by removing your false beard?''
19369''Will you pardon me if I decline to answer this question at the present moment?''
19369''Will you take us there, and place us where we can see him and he ca n''t see us?''
19369''Will you tell me whom you suspect?''
19369''With what result?''
19369''Would it not be well,''I suggested,''to lay the facts before the present Lord Rantremly?''
19369''Would n''t it be more advisable to go further into the country?''
19369''Would you mind telling us, without further circumlocution, what brings you here so late at night?''
19369''Would you object to telling me how you know these particulars about a man you say you have never seen?''
19369''Yes, and this money?''
19369''Yesterday afternoon, you mean?''
19369''You admit yourself, then, indirectly responsible for his drowning, at least?''
19369''You are acting for someone else, I suppose?''
19369''You are certain he has no knowledge of the hiding- place of this treasure?''
19369''You are employed during the day, I take it?''
19369''You are going there?''
19369''You are sure of what you say?''
19369''You believe he escaped, then?''
19369''You do n''t mean to say you''ve murdered him?''
19369''You have been living at the Chase since your uncle died?''
19369''You have heard of the so- called Pegram mystery, I presume?''
19369''You have n''t got any Kentucky or Canadian?''
19369''You have no marriage certificate, of course?''
19369''You have no official standing as a detective, then, Monsieur Valmont?''
19369''You have not changed your mind?''
19369''You hear nothing?''
19369''You know nothing of his circumstances?''
19369''You received no letters from the young man?''
19369''You reported that very striking fact to your chief, of course?''
19369''You saw him open the safe once, I am told?''
19369''You succeeded in following it?''
19369''You surely would not break the wall without permission from his lordship in London?''
19369''You think the clergyman was also murdered?''
19369''You think, then, he has not done so up to date?''
19369''You were known in prison as Wyoming Ed?''
19369''You will then take the night train tomorrow for Paris?''
19369''You wish me to trace them, perhaps?''
19369''You wish me to uncover their retreat, then?''
19369''You would do it under the hour?''
19369''You''re not offended at what I said in the meeting, I hope?''
19369''Your man Johnson--?''
19369''_ What''s_ perfectly plain?''
19369***** Had the young man become aware that he was being shadowed, or had the surly servant informed him of the inquiries made?
19369Am I right in supposing that everything hinges on the man who is to throw the bomb?''
19369And how is that supposed to interest me?
19369And now you are determined to adopt illegal means?
19369And now, monsieur, was my hint regarding the silver spoons of any value to you?''
19369And this sum of money is to be paid to the third person you referred to?''
19369And you have come to learn whether or no I can lay the ghost in that old castle to the north which bears your name?''
19369Are they separate or in a bunch?''
19369Are you determined to put the young man in prison, or would you be content with the return of the emeralds intact?''
19369Are you going to tell me the truth, or are you not?''
19369But what has been the cause of these failures?
19369But what would you?
19369But why are you here?
19369But will a man steal, think you, even to supply himself with so delicious a wine as this we have been tasting?
19369Can not he be resuscitated?''
19369Can you cook?''
19369Can you do that, or are they mixed up in a heap in the coal cellar?''
19369Can you impersonate this young man?''
19369Carter?''
19369Confederates?''
19369Did Higgins remember anything regarding it?
19369Did I ever pretend to be otherwise than human?
19369Did any of your servants see him prowling about the place?''
19369Did he carry a small box in his hand and order you to drive to the Madeleine?''
19369Did you not realise that you are in a dangerous locality?''
19369Did you notice any writing on the margins of the newspapers you examined?''
19369Do my eyes deceive me, or is the sum exactly a hundred pounds?
19369Do n''t you see the subtlety of my action?
19369Do you agree with me, Monsieur Valmont?''
19369Do you get that?
19369Do you happen to have about you one of those new five- shilling pieces which you believe to be illegally coined?''
19369Do you happen to know if anybody occupies the compartment in which the body was found?''
19369Do you know how I joined?
19369Do you know where it is?''
19369Do you mean to say you go round London with a hundred and fifty pounds worth of goods under your arm in this careless way?''
19369Do you mean to say you have already got evidence against the man?''
19369Do you think you can ride your horse?"
19369Do you understand?''
19369Does he seem furtive, suspicious, anxious, terrorised, calm, excitable, or what?''
19369Does that console you?''
19369Eh, my good friend?''
19369Every profession is marred by its little jealousies, and why should the coterie of detection be exempt?
19369First, how came he on the Scotch Express, which leaves at six, and does not stop at Pegram?
19369Gibbes?''
19369Gibbes?''
19369Good God, do you mean to say I''ve been in there only ten years?
19369Had he a short black beard?
19369Had he, then, penetrated my disguise?
19369Hard at it from half- past nine till towards seven, I imagine?''
19369Has he prevented him going from top to bottom of the house?''
19369Has the son made any suggestion regarding his release?''
19369Have I made it plain now why I began with a question which you had every right to resent?''
19369Have n''t you read my stories?
19369Have you a cab at the door?''
19369Have you ever seen anything like it?
19369Have you seen my uncle?''
19369Have you spoken of this to anyone but me?''
19369He does not go under the name of Colonel Jim Baxter, I suppose?''
19369He greeted me abruptly with,--''I say, Valmont, how long do you expect to be on this job?''
19369He was somewhat eccentric, was he not?''
19369How are you, Rogers?''
19369How came you to suspect he was penniless?''
19369How can you ask such a question?
19369How did you hit it?''
19369How do my erasures correspond with yours, Monsieur Valmont?''
19369How far is it?''
19369How is your circulation, Sir George?''
19369However, what is a man to do?
19369I called the waiter, and said to him,--''Do you know my friend here?''
19369I cried with vim,''have you ever seen that sheet before?''
19369I cried, aghast,''what is this?''
19369I did not send for you, did I?''
19369I suppose this encyclopaedia, as you call it, is in the shop at Tottenham Court Road?''
19369I thought there was a trace of embarrassment in her laugh when she cried:--''Oh, what will you think of me when you understand the situation?
19369I took aside one of my own men in plain clothes and said to him,--''You have seen the American who has bought the necklace?''
19369I went on calmly:--''You also knew that Summertrees, of Park Lane, was identical with Simpson, of Tottenham Court Road?''
19369If France and England became as friendly as France and Russia, might not the refuge which England had given to anarchy become a thing of the past?
19369If I am invited in, I ask the occupant the question I asked you just now:"Are you interested in rare editions?"
19369If Mr. Carter and Lady Alicia are engaged, why should the theft of the jewels interfere with the ceremony?''
19369If unable to swim, why should he attempt it encumbered by the box?''
19369If we can find such a man in that company, do you not agree with me that he is likely to be the thief?''
19369In London?''
19369In the direction of a man, of course?''
19369In what can I serve you?''
19369In what way are you concerned in these occurrences?''
19369Is Mr. Summertrees in?
19369Is he a person who could do so dishonourable an action?''
19369Is that the tragedy of which you speak?''
19369Is that true?''
19369Is the man to be sent to perdition for a momentary weakness?''
19369Is the same carriage still on the train?''
19369Is there a pleasant country around Chizelrigg Chase?''
19369Is there any comparatively new volume in the library?''
19369Is there any restriction on the going and coming of your man Podgers?''
19369Just lend a hand, will you?''
19369Leave the Manor of Blair in the morning?
19369Macpherson?''
19369Macpherson?''
19369May I ask how you came to hear of me?''
19369May I ask if you suspect any one in particular?''
19369Nervously he grasped the arms of his chair, sitting very bolt upright, muttering:--''Can it be he, of all persons, at this time, of all times?''
19369No, no, and in any case how can I be sure you come from Eugène Valmont?
19369No?
19369Now do you understand the charge?''
19369Now, Macpherson, what have you to say in your defence?''
19369Now, am I right in my conjecture, monsieur, that you come here alone; that you bring with you no train of followers and assistants?''
19369Now, monsieur, what will you do?''
19369Now, shall we return to my office, or go to a café?''
19369Now,_ mon ami_, do you want my assistance, or have you enough to go on with?''
19369Of course, if one is to unravel such a snarl as that in which we find ourselves, he must be made aware of every particular, must he not?''
19369Oh, Monsieur Valmont, what is the use of worrying about emeralds or anything else?
19369Oh, is that you, Podgers?
19369Out of what?
19369Poor young man, if this mummery were to console him for the rest of his life, why should I not indulge him in it?''
19369Say, old man, are you acting for Colonel Jim Baxter?''
19369Should you know the cabman if you saw him again?''
19369So Summertrees has succeeded in completely disconcerting your man?
19369So you can not complete your plans until you have met this man?''
19369Stood here like a post, I suppose?''
19369Summertrees?''
19369Sure you ca n''t remember?''
19369Sure you wo n''t join me?''
19369The first question he will ask you may be this:"Why did not Dacre come and borrow the money from me?"
19369The man who engaged you is still aboard?''
19369The packet did n''t drop out and remain unnoticed in some corner?''
19369Then he looked up at me and said:--''You do n''t expect me to give a pal away, do you?''
19369Then he said to me:--''Do you know a girl named Sophia Brooks?''
19369Then why do n''t you nab him one day when his pockets are stuffed with illegitimate five- shilling pieces?''
19369There was a note of warning in Doyle''s voice when he said:--''Did that incident teach you no lesson?
19369They say to themselves,"What chance is there successfully to steal bars of silver while Mr. Hale is at Scotland Yard?"
19369Third, how could the murderer have escaped?
19369Thompson, you will show this person out?
19369Time and again France has demanded the extradition of an anarchist, always to be met with the question,--''Where is your proof?''
19369Unless I am very much mistaken, this is Monsieur Valmont of Paris?''
19369Was I on the verge of hearing a confession?
19369Was n''t it him gave you the money?''
19369We heard him say,--''Is this the residence of Mr. Summertrees?
19369Webster?''
19369What about the Pegram affair?''
19369What can I do for you, Mr Wilber Scribbings?''
19369What did he do?''
19369What do you know of his circumstances before the dinner of the twenty- third?''
19369What do you say?''
19369What further proof have you discovered, monsieur?''
19369What grounds have you for such a belief if you did not see the struggle?''
19369What happens there that strikes you as unusual?''
19369What has aroused your suspicions against him?''
19369What have you to say of the murder in Greenwich Park?''
19369What in the second place?''
19369What is done with them?''
19369What is the first account you wish further light upon?''
19369What is the name of the state?''
19369What is the name of the volume he bought?''
19369What is your remaining account?''
19369What more evidence are the authorities waiting for?''
19369What silver spoons?''
19369What then, Monsieur Valmont?
19369What time does he arrive in the evening?''
19369What was his conjuring?''
19369What were the contents of that letter?''
19369What will you drink, Ducharme?
19369What''s the name of the old steward?''
19369What''s the next item on the programme?''
19369What, the encyclopaedia''s out of print?
19369What?
19369When does he do his writing?''
19369When the maid and I were asked to sign the book as witnesses, I said:--''Surely this is carrying realism a little too far?''
19369When the police hailed us at Denouval--''''Ah, you knew it was the police, then?''
19369When the waiter returned I whispered to him in some anxiety,--''Not the police, surely?''
19369Where had this creature of the dull English countryside learnt all such frou- frou of gesture and tone?
19369Who is he?''
19369Who is that person?''
19369Who is that speaking?
19369Who would believe my story?
19369Why am I here?
19369Why did n''t you call one of our men, whoever was nearest, and leave him to shadow the American while you followed the cab?''
19369Why did you not do so?''
19369Why not bury him in your garden?''
19369Why should I?''
19369Why should he not?''
19369Why?''
19369Will you accept the commission?''
19369Will you lend a hand?''
19369Will you pardon me a moment?''
19369Will you take a chair?''
19369Will you take a hansom, drive to Mr. Innis''s house on the Cromwell Road, confront him quietly, and ask for the return of the packet?
19369Would five shillings be too much?''
19369Would you care to accompany me?''
19369Would you mind letting me know to what point your researches have led you?''
19369Would you mind telling me the name of the owner of these books in the West End?''
19369Yet, if such were his mission, why did he attract the attention of all members by this open- eyed scrutiny?
19369You are a policeman, are you not?''
19369You brought the gold in two canvas bags, did you not, Sir George?''
19369You can take me into the house, I suppose, when you return?''
19369You do n''t intend to send me back to that hell- hole, do you?''
19369You do n''t mean to tell me you have so soon got to the bottom of the silver spoon entanglement?''
19369You had two passengers aboard?''
19369You knew at the time that this man was your employer?''
19369You never heard of Dr. Willoughby, I suppose?''
19369You said_ all_, I think, Podgers?''
19369You say that Summertrees has no business?''
19369You say you examined all the papers?''
19369You wo n''t mind waiting?''
19369_ Voilà!_''Madam,''I said politely,''in what may I have the pleasure of serving you?''
21264Ah, thank you; will some one kindly call him? 21264 Ai n''t you- uns guine to ask me to''light a while, an''set a bit, an''talk a spell?"
21264All of it?
21264Am I to understand that you never made your conclusions known to Colonel Gaylord?
21264And Gaylord left before any of them saw him?
21264And Radnor-- how did he take the matter?
21264And Solomon tells me tales of the Colonel himself whipping the negroes-- there ca n''t be any truth in that?
21264And after that he and Mose were in constant consultation?
21264And did you take the securities also and the bag of coin?
21264And have you any theory as to the identity of the thief?
21264And he arrived at no theory?
21264And he himself did n''t show any fear over the stories?
21264And he struck you as being agitated?
21264And he was carrying her coat?
21264And how about Radnor? 21264 And how did the Colonel and Radnor take this?"
21264And is this Solomon?
21264And it was that same night that Aunt What- Ever- Her- Name- Is saw the ghost in the laurel walk?
21264And perhaps you can tell,added Mattison with the triumphant air of clinching the matter,"what has become of the five thousand dollars in bonds?
21264And since the murder nothing whatever has been seen of the ha''nt?
21264And that row of shanties down there?
21264And the Colonel, how did he take all this excitement about the ha''nt?
21264And the woods extend straight across the mountain in an unbroken line?
21264And then what?
21264And this Cat- Eye Mose, did he receive a share?
21264And this quarrel the night before his death was more serious than usual?
21264And those are the deserted negro cabins?
21264And what did the thing look like that you saw Mose carrying to the cabins in the night?
21264And what did you think?
21264And when you searched the cabins did you go into the one where the grain is stored?
21264And when you talked to him about the stalagmites-- was there anyone else with him at the time?
21264And where did he get his matches?
21264And where''s that?
21264And would throw no light on the robbery?
21264And you base your suspicions, do you not, upon the fact that he has queer eyes?
21264And you heard nothing in the night? 21264 Are you in the habit of leaving young ladies''coats about in that off- hand way?"
21264At least he left it later in what you call the gallery of the broken column?
21264Awaiting your further orders and thanking you for past favors,We are,"Very truly yours,"JACOBY, HAIGHT& CO.""Where did you get hold of that?"
21264Been asleep, have n''t you? 21264 But Mrs. Mathers, it seems, attended to lighting the fire?"
21264But he did have a theory as to the whereabouts of the bonds, did he not?
21264But is n''t it? 21264 But you did n''t make any attempt to discover the truth?"
21264But you have been able to form no theory as to how the bonds were stolen?
21264But you left the others before they had made the complete round?
21264But,I expostulated,"how did he happen to be in the cave?"
21264Can you give any reasons for your strange conduct?
21264Can you offer any light on the subject?
21264Colonel Gaylord was not in the habit of carrying matches in his pockets then?
21264Did any negroes come in with you to recover the body?
21264Did she run away?
21264Did she say what it looked like?
21264Did the servants know that anything was to go to them?
21264Did you and your father have any further conversation on the ride over, or in the course of the day?
21264Did you believe that story when you first heard it?
21264Did you enter it again?
21264Did you get any light from Mose?
21264Did you have any conversation later?
21264Did you not think of that later and go back for it?
21264Did you notice Radnor through the day?
21264Did you see either him or the Colonel in the cave?
21264Do n''t you get enough from me, that you must ask the guests in my house to supply you with money?
21264Do n''t you?
21264Do you have many tramps around here?
21264Do you know about the ha''nt?
21264Do you know where he is?
21264Do you mean he''s dead?
21264Do you mean they were n''t there or you did n''t notice them?
21264Do you mean to insinuate that Mr. Crosby is implicated?
21264Do you mean to say that you accuse me of stealing those bonds?
21264Do you mean,I asked as we climbed back into the carriage,"that Radnor did believe Jeff guilty?"
21264Do you think I could knock up one of the stable- men to drive me to the village? 21264 Do you think I lie when I say I know nothing of those bonds?"
21264Do you think that Radnor was trying to divert you from the scene?
21264Do you think that the ghost had any connection with the murder of your father?
21264Do you want me to stay? 21264 Does everyone in the South run away to get married?
21264Does he consort with ghosts?
21264Does the Colonel still feel hard toward them?
21264Eh, Arnold, what''s happened?
21264For how long?
21264Ghosts do n''t require much room; how about the loft?
21264Good Lord, has n''t our family had notoriety enough? 21264 Had Radnor ever asked for anything of the sort before?"
21264Had he ordered anything to drink in the morning when they left their horses?
21264Has anything happened to your father?
21264Has anything happened?
21264Has-- has Polly Mathers heard that?
21264Have niggers been in the habit of going in much?
21264Have you often had quarrels with your father?
21264He did not throw it at you as Solomon surmised?
21264He does, does he? 21264 He was carrying something too?"
21264He was in a hurry-- why? 21264 His father never turned him out of the house then?"
21264How about the farmers? 21264 How about the letter?"
21264How about this-- did you examine this cabin?
21264How are crops? 21264 How could I ask her when I did n''t know anything about it?"
21264How did that clock come to be broken?
21264How did the clock get broken?
21264How did you explain the matter to yourself?
21264How do you account for its presence at the scene of the murder?
21264How do you account for these peculiar foot- prints?
21264How do you explain that?
21264How long do you think?
21264How much was taken?
21264How tall a man did you say Mose was?
21264I believe this is my dance, is n''t it, Polly?
21264I believe you have the honor of Miss Polly Mathers''s acquaintance? 21264 I suppose I may not be permitted to inquire where you spent the night-- that too is a private matter?"
21264I suppose you know what such accommodation is called?
21264I suppose you remember Nan?
21264I-- I told him-- you wo n''t tell anyone?
21264In general, though, I understand that the relations between the two were rather strained?
21264In just what way did he want to take it?
21264In spite of every effort?
21264Is that what''s the matter with Mose?
21264Mose?
21264Mose?
21264Mr. Gaylord, do you believe that the ghost had any connection with the robbery?
21264Mr. Gaylord, there has lately been a rumor among the negroes working at your place, in regard to the appearance of a ghost, has there not?
21264Must I go on?
21264My father?
21264Never any more than that?
21264No,Terry began,"he could have seen nothing; he must have--"He broke off suddenly and gripping my arm whispered out,"What''s that?"
21264Now what do you make of all this? 21264 Now, how soon did the ghost appear again?"
21264Rad, what''s the meaning of this?
21264Radnor,I cried at last,"are you trying to shield any one?
21264Radnor,I said,"will you tell me the absolute truth?
21264See here, Polly,said I with some excusable heat,"now why in thunder did n''t you tell me all this before?"
21264Since he was so infernally independent why did n''t he get to work and earn something?
21264Sleep through what? 21264 So that is the Gaylord house is it?
21264So you enter gentlemen''s houses as their guest and spend your time sneaking about reading their private correspondence?
21264So you''ve been working too hard, have you, Arnold?
21264So?--Servants all appeared to be fond of him?
21264Solomon,said the Colonel severely,"what are you trying to say?
21264Telegrams?
21264Tell me, Arnold, do people really believe me guilty?
21264Terry,I asked,"how_ did_ you find out about the chicken thief?
21264Terry,I implored,"where on the face of the earth did you find those bonds?"
21264That was rather an unusual thing, last night, was n''t it, for a ha''nt to steal a chicken?
21264The carriage cushions and lap robes-- ever find them?
21264The ha''nt?
21264Then after you had helped yourself to the money, the bonds were stolen by someone else?
21264Then those words after breakfast when you threatened to leave home were absolutely the last words you ever spoke to your father?
21264Then what did you do?
21264Then who?
21264Then why not get a detective down and see if he ca n''t find out?
21264They can hear something wailing, can they?
21264To arrest me, for what?
21264Upon what then?
21264Was the cupboard unlocked?
21264Well, Terry, what''s the news at the morgue today?
21264Well, certainly, that does seem rather conclusive-- there is no mistake about the foot- prints?
21264Well, what do you find?
21264Well,I inquired as I led the way to the dining- room,"did you get any news of the ghost?"
21264Well? 21264 Well?"
21264Well?
21264Were the stories true?
21264What are you going to do with that?
21264What color were the lap robes?
21264What did he say?
21264What did you do after leaving the cave?
21264What did you quarrel about?
21264What do you make of those?
21264What do you mean by''gossip''?
21264What do you mean?
21264What do you mean?
21264What do you mean?
21264What do you mean?
21264What does it mean?
21264What have these to do with the crime?
21264What is the second one?
21264What on earth is that?
21264What prints?
21264What proof have you, Mr. Clancy, that the bonds were not stolen while Mr. Gaylord was out of the house?
21264What the deuce is the matter with his eyes?
21264What time did Radnor Gaylord come back to the hotel?
21264What time did all that row occur in the night?
21264What was the trouble with Jeff?
21264What''s become of Mose?
21264What''s happened to the horse?
21264What''s that?
21264What''s that?
21264What''s the matter with him?
21264What''s the matter with him?
21264What''s the matter, Rad?
21264What''s the matter, Radnor?
21264What''s the matter?
21264What''s the matter?
21264What''s the meaning of it?
21264What, for instance?
21264When did the ha''nt appear again after the party?
21264When do you remember having seen it last?
21264Where did he come from?
21264Where did you get that?
21264Where did you leave the party?
21264Where to?
21264Where''s Cat- Eye Mose?
21264Where?
21264Which do they employ mostly to work in the fields, negroes or white men?
21264Which do you think it is?
21264Who is he?
21264Why did he ask then?
21264Why did you not wait for the rest of the party?
21264Why do n''t you arrest him?
21264Why do n''t you want a detective?
21264Why hide the body of one and not the other?
21264Why was that?
21264Will you be kind enough to explain why you drove to Kennisburg in the night and why you needed the money so suddenly?
21264Will you shake hands, Patten?
21264Would it be too much,Terry inquired,"to ask you to keep silent until tomorrow morning?"
21264Would you rather go the short way over the mountains by a very rough road, or the long way through Kennisburg?
21264Yes,I said,"I think so; how much do you want?"
21264You believe me?
21264You believe then that there was no foundation whatever to any of the stories?
21264You did not speak to each other at the breakfast table?
21264You do n''t suppose,she asked quickly,"that the Colonel was foolish enough to go back for my coat, and we''ve left him behind?"
21264You do n''t think that Jeff--?
21264You employed a detective I believe?
21264You forgot Miss Mathers''s coat and left it in the gallery of the broken column?
21264You have n''t answered my question.--Why did you need a hundred dollars in cash after ten o''clock last night?
21264You have not been able to trace the thief?
21264You heard me?
21264You left the cave immediately?
21264You mean Mose''s disappearance?
21264You mean Radnor''s behavior on the day of the murder and his refusal to explain it?
21264You mean that I stole them?
21264You mean,I asked,"that he was the ha''nt?"
21264You purposely avoided meeting each other?
21264You say he swore at you for being slow?
21264You think that their engagement is due to you?
21264You''ll remember your promise?
21264_ Q._''Did you see any circumstance which led you to suspect that he and his father were not on good terms?'' 21264 _ Q._''Did you speak to Radnor in the cave?''
21264_ Q._''You did n''t see Radnor Gaylord after he left the cave?'' 21264 _ Question._''Did you notice anything peculiar in the behavior of Radnor Gaylord on the day of his father''s death?''
21264And after all, was not the truth-- any truth-- better than these vague suspicions, this terrible suspense?
21264And besides, how did you account for the fact that there was only one mark?
21264And besides, if he himself elected to be silent, had I any right to speak?
21264And how about the other son?
21264And if you will allow me to go a step further, why did Colonel Gaylord object to settling something on the boy?"
21264And now, where''s this young Gaylord?"
21264And over a matter of money?"
21264And where was he, pray?"
21264And where was the Colonel, and where was Mose?
21264And your investigations concerned themselves largely with a letter which you filched from Mr. Gaylord''s coat pocket in the night, did they not?"
21264Any of the things turned up since?"
21264Are n''t we more likely to get at the truth, if we lie low and do n''t let on we''re after the thief?"
21264Are the facts straight and have the missing bonds turned up?
21264Are the farmers likely to take on extra men at this season?"
21264Are they well- to- do around here?"
21264As to the motive for the crime, who could tell what went on in the slow workings of his mind?
21264As we mounted the steps I nodded to several of the men whom I remembered having seen before; and they returned an interested,"How- dy- do?
21264As we rose from the table he said stiffly:"Well, Rad, have you any suggestion as to how we shall set to work to track down the thief?"
21264Because he saw or heard something that frightened him, and what could that have been but Mose running to his master''s assistance?"
21264But where he did go, was to the hotel; and there, it appears, he drank two glasses of brandy and swore at the stable boy.--Is that all, Miss Mathers?"
21264Ca n''t you do something to stop it?"
21264Could Jeff merely have pretended to leave?
21264Could avarice have been the motive for Colonel Gaylord''s murder?
21264Could he have returned secretly to the neighborhood, and, following his father into the cave, have quarreled with him?
21264Could it be connected with last night''s quarrel?
21264Could the man have accomplished a tardy revenge for past insults?
21264Crosby?"
21264Did anyone owe him money that you know of?"
21264Did he know that he was to be disinherited?"
21264Did n''t you see him at all?"
21264Did you ever see a cigar like that before?"
21264Did you find him, and is the party over?"
21264Did you mail your letter to them in Kennisburg the night of the robbery with a special delivery stamp?"
21264Did you notice when he left the rest of the party?"
21264Did you really mean it?"
21264Do n''t you ever have any legitimate weddings with cake and rice and old shoes?"
21264Do you deny that you yourself have encouraged the belief in the ghost among the negroes?
21264Do you know any facts which might lead to the apprehension of the thief?"
21264Do you know of anyone who had reason to stand in fear of the Colonel?
21264Do you know who killed your father?"
21264Do you see anything different in them from the marks below?"
21264Exactly what sort of a fellow is Radnor?
21264Finally,"Where did you find them?"
21264First, you say that Radnor and his father did not speak at the breakfast table?
21264Gaylord?"
21264Had n''t the Colonel gone home with the rest of the party?
21264Have you any suspicion as to who took those securities?
21264He has his own little amusements and they are n''t exactly ours, but since he does n''t hurt anybody what''s the use in bothering?
21264He was n''t oppressing anybody?
21264His sons?
21264How about Cat- Eye Mose?
21264How about it?
21264How about the cave?
21264How are you?"
21264How did this place happen to escape?"
21264How do I account for it?
21264How in the deuce am I to account for Rad''s behavior without mentioning her?"
21264How was it when you started?"
21264I cried in amazement,"what on earth are you doing here?"
21264I settled myself and inquired reassuringly,"Well, Polly, what''s the trouble?"
21264I suppose you lost something in the way of a fee?"
21264I suppose you realize what is the peculiarly significant point about the murder?"
21264I thought I examined everything thoroughly, but I was so excited I suppose--""What did you make of them?"
21264If not, do n''t you want me to run down and find them for you?
21264If you do n''t mind my asking, Miss Mathers, was that just a bluff on your part, or had Mr. Mattison really asked you?"
21264In the first place, how many older people were there in the party?"
21264Is it a man or lady?
21264Is it too late to visit it now?"
21264Is this true?"
21264It was not until I stopped to open the gate into our own home lane, that he suddenly burst out with the question:"Where do the Mathers people live?"
21264It''s quite on the cards that he had some enemies among his neighbors?"
21264Mattison?"
21264Might he have slipped off the train again and come back?
21264No damaging evidence against any person in his possession?
21264Not levying blackmail was he?"
21264Now I am wondering if it would not be kinder not to let him know?
21264Now do n''t you call that pretty tough luck, after coming''way down here just to find out the truth, not to be allowed to print it when I''ve got it?
21264Now, in which direction is the cave?"
21264Or why did he not postpone the desire until next year?"
21264So it was a bluff after all?
21264Suppose your man did thrown the Colonel into the water and run for it, then what, I should like to know, has become of Cat- Eye Mose?"
21264That on more than one occasion, you, or your accomplice, Cat- Eye Mose, have masqueraded as the ghost?
21264That, while you were pretending to Colonel Gaylord to be as much puzzled by the matter as he, you were in truth at the bottom of the whole business?"
21264The Colonel feels through his pockets, finds that he has n''t a match and-- what happens?"
21264The body had not been robbed, you tell me?"
21264The coroner paused a moment and then continued without comment:"You entered the cave with the rest of the party?"
21264The question which returned most persistently to my mind was"What has become of Cat- Eye Mose?"
21264Then you know that?
21264They quarreled then?
21264Three or four noticed it and wondered--""Very well,"interrupted the coroner,"what did he do next?"
21264Was Colonel Gaylord in the habit of smoking?"
21264Was Colonel Gaylord in the habit of whipping him?"
21264Was any more seen of the ha''nt after that night?"
21264Was he in the habit of forgetting young ladies''coats?"
21264Was it my duty to search out Jefferson and convict him of this crime?
21264Were you successful in making him mad?"
21264What did they do?"
21264What did you do immediately after leaving the cave?"
21264What do you mean?"
21264What had she done to deserve this fate?
21264What happened to you that day in the cave?"
21264What have you to say in regard to it?"
21264What if he had slipped on the wet clay, and having injured himself, was lying unconscious in the darkness?
21264What is the meaning of this?"
21264What more likely than that he had attacked his master in a fit of animal passion; and then, terrified at the result, escaped to the woods?
21264What must I do?
21264What was the matter?
21264What''s missing?"
21264What''s this?
21264When was it built?"
21264Where are you going?"
21264Where, may I ask, were you intending to get the hundred dollars to pay back this amount?"
21264Why ca n''t girls learn to carry their own coats?
21264Why could not that moment of insight have come earlier to Colonel Gaylord, have come in time to save him from his mistakes?
21264Why did he choose that particular time to make his request?
21264Why did he not wish to be independent last year?
21264Why do you ask?"
21264Why must this come to him now too late to do him any good, when he had needed it so much before?
21264Why not let matters take their course?
21264Why was that?
21264Why?
21264Will you all please put out your lights?
21264Will you marry me, Radnor?"
21264Would it be too late to drive over to- night?"
21264You are sure that you did not take the bonds as well and have forgotten it?"
21264You do n''t suppose he''s going to refuse her?"
21264You have n''t been sleeping much of late?"
21264You, yourself, I believe, hold the opinion that he committed the murder?"
21264he said,"you''ve missed the money?
21854And Manderson? 21854 And Mrs. Manderson?
21854And did any message come?
21854And he did not tell you why he wanted it?
21854And he was dressed like that when you saw him last?
21854And how did he take that?
21854And how long has this been known?... 21854 And that was the last you saw and heard of him alive?"
21854And this happened--?
21854And what about the curtains? 21854 And where did you photograph them?
21854And you heard nothing in the night?
21854And you put this down to some secret anxiety, a fear that somebody had designs on his life?
21854And you saw Mr. Manderson again later?
21854And you see, do n''t you, that my husband could n''t have an idea of all this? 21854 And... the other kind?"
21854Anthony?
21854Apropos of nothing in particular,he said,"were you at Oxford?"
21854Are you there?
21854But do you suppose a thing like that was going to upset Sig Manderson that way? 21854 But why?"
21854Can you get here within an hour?
21854Come, Mr. Trent, we''re only at the beginning of our inquiries, but what do you say to this for a preliminary theory? 21854 Cross- examination?"
21854Cupples,he said quietly,"is there anything about this business that you know and would rather not tell me?"
21854Did he mean your interview?
21854Did he say any more?
21854Did he say why?
21854Did it really strike you in that way?
21854Did she love him?
21854Did that strike you as curious?
21854Did you ever see them before? 21854 Do I know my own name?"
21854Do you really want to know?
21854Do you remember anything of what he was saying?
21854Do you think so?
21854Do you think you will succeed?
21854Had Manderson,asked Mr. Cupples, so unexpectedly that the other started,"any definable religious attitude?"
21854Had he any friends?
21854Had she any love left for him?
21854Have we such an appointment?
21854Have you got your eye on Mrs. Manderson? 21854 How can these sentimentalities come from a man like you?
21854How did you manage it? 21854 How do you know?"
21854How much time have I?
21854How?
21854I say,it continued,"will your people look out a hotel near the scene of action, and telegraph for a room?"
21854I was driving the car all Sunday night and most of yesterday, and I did n''t sleep last night, after hearing the news-- who would? 21854 Is that_ the_ one?"
21854Is there anything else?
21854It is a defense that you will be putting forward-- you understand that?
21854It might be more than interesting, do n''t you think, to be minister to the pleasures of a modern plutocrat with a large P? 21854 It was throwing temptation in somebody''s way, do n''t you think?"
21854Leaving the dinner- jacket in the cupboard?
21854May I come to the point at once?
21854Mrs. Manderson, will you assure me that your husband''s change toward you had nothing to do with John Marlowe?
21854Shall I compare him to a summer''s day? 21854 Since my reason for suppressing that information was all a fantasy, why did you never make any use of it?
21854Then I suppose you never saw him alive again?
21854Then was there never anything of the nature of what they call Words between you and your husband, ma''am?
21854Then will you tell him?
21854Then you do n''t know what has become of him?
21854Two persons?
21854Was it fuller than that?
21854Was that why you telephoned?
21854Well, did you ever see his wrists?
21854Well, what was Manderson''s?
21854Well?
21854What about the gardener? 21854 What about these secretaries?"
21854What are we good for, anyhow?
21854What did he do?
21854What do I care about his story? 21854 What do you mean?"
21854What do you think of it?
21854What is there abnormal in the essential facts? 21854 What shall I say?"
21854What sort of a woman is she? 21854 What time was this?"
21854What''s that you say?
21854What?
21854What_ was_ the trouble between them?
21854When did you first detect music in me? 21854 When you saw uncle last night, did you tell him about-- about us?"
21854While we are on that point, Martin, I want to ask you plainly, did Mr. Manderson drink very much? 21854 Who is Sheppard?"
21854Who is Sheppard?
21854Who is that?
21854Who is this?
21854Who?... 21854 Why do you ask?"
21854Why is it surprising?
21854Why was it, do you think?
21854Why? 21854 Why?
21854Why?
21854Would it bore you to hear what he has to say again?
21854Would it interest you to hear a short lecture on the subject of glass finger- bowls? 21854 Yes, but did he?
21854You never suspected that he hated you before that time?
21854You saw them start?
21854You say Manderson was responsible for his own death?
21854You think butter might possibly melt in her mouth, do you?
21854You will go down?
21854You''re sure that''s all?
21854''Does n''t_ that_ prove he was flustered and hurried?''
21854''Has he mislaid his note- case?''
21854''Manderson never returned alive?''
21854''Right now?''
21854''You''ve got it all clear?''
21854*****"Seen the body?"
21854And all the time the blood hammered in my ears:''Where is that money?''
21854And now what does the unknown do?
21854And to what fate?
21854And what passed when you answered it?"
21854And why are you here?
21854As I asked myself that sinister question there rushed into my mind the last of my difficulties:''Where are the thousand pounds?''
21854As I closed the door he was saying:''You''re sure he is n''t in the hotel?''
21854As I stood, what hope was there?
21854Besides, it is what is always happening to your big business men in America, is n''t it?
21854But I said,''Look here: if he was so very much pressed, why did he part his hair so carefully?
21854But did n''t you say just now that you noticed nothing unusual about him?"
21854But evidence of what?
21854But how did that help me?
21854But she held up a hand, and there was color in her cheeks and quick breathing in her voice as she said:"Do you know what you ask, Mr. Trent?
21854But that would n''t prove much, would it?"
21854But was it he who returned at ten?
21854But what had I just heard?
21854But what need of them, after all?
21854But what would twelve red- faced realities in a jury- box have done to Marlowe?
21854But who can sound the abysses of a lunatic''s fancy?
21854But why Paris?
21854By the bye, where are you?"
21854By the way, what domestics are there?
21854CHAPTER XV THE LAST STRAW"What was that you said about our having an appointment at half- past seven?"
21854Ca n''t you imagine how the prosecution would tear it to rags?
21854Ca n''t you see the judge simply taking it in his stride when it came to the summing up?
21854Ca n''t you... Oh, really?
21854Can you imagine the state of mind in which a man dooms himself to death with the object of delivering someone he hates to the hangman?"
21854Can you tell me, without touching it, what it is?"
21854Can you tell me,"he broke off,"how he behaved after the day I left White Gables?"
21854Can you?"
21854Come: would you like to see a little bit of high- class police work?
21854Could I save my neck by a lie?
21854Did he have any that night?"
21854Did he say no more?"
21854Did he tell you he was innocent?"
21854Did she know, the coroner asked, of any other matter which might have been preying upon her husband''s mind recently?
21854Did you hear him re- enter it after returning from the motor- drive?"
21854Do n''t you?"
21854Do you know''Huckleberry Finn?''"
21854Do you recognize that powder inside it?
21854Do you remember my telling you I had seen him once alive after our quarrel in front of the hotel?
21854Do you remember that name?''
21854Do you see anything now?"
21854Do you suppose the Atlantic is going to stop them?...
21854Do you want to see it?"
21854Does my hair want cutting?"
21854Dost thou its former pride recall, or ponder how it passed away?
21854Est- ce insupportable, tout de même, qu''il existe des types comme ça?
21854Had he forgotten his cunning and taken the risk of telling her then?
21854Has Scotland Yard secretly started an aviation corps?
21854Has her husband been murdered?
21854Has she her wits about her?"
21854Have I said anything dreadful?
21854Have you any idea where they come from?"
21854Have you any idea why he should have done that?"
21854Have you anything against it?
21854Have you ever been in this room before, Cupples?
21854Have you followed me so far?"
21854Have you got all that clear?''
21854Have you, as a matter of evidence, anything at all to bring against Martin''s story as he has told it to us?"
21854He gave one a feeling that he might do unexpected things-- do you know that feeling one has about some people?...
21854He had decided suddenly that he wanted to have word from this man Harris--""Who is Harris?"
21854He must have crept about like a cat.... Do you feel as I do, Murch, about all this: that it is very, very strange and baffling?"
21854How account for his returning alone and without the car?
21854How are you, my best of friends?
21854How can you be certain?
21854How is it you could see bruises and scratches on them?
21854How under the sun did he get here so soon?"
21854I ca n''t hear you... Oh, it''s Mr. Bunner, is it?
21854I dare say you saw something of Manderson down here before the murder?"
21854I never was what they call a popular hostess-- how could I be?
21854If it had been desperate on the assumption that Manderson meant to denounce me as a thief, what was it now that his corpse denounced me as a murderer?
21854In Paris?
21854Inspector Murch?"
21854Is it the fact that there was an estrangement between you?"
21854Is it the fact that your relations with your late husband had not been, for some time past, relations of mutual affection and confidence?
21854Is that about right?"
21854Is that an unheard- of situation?
21854Is there something in this, Cupples, or is it my fancy?
21854It was when I led you from the hotel there to your house, with your hand on my arm, that-- what was it that happened?
21854It was with an air of amiable candor, then, that she said,"Monsieur desire to speak with me?"
21854It''s one of the things you can very often tell about a man, is n''t it?"
21854Manderson?"
21854Marlowe made another pause, and Trent, with a puckered brow, inquired:"On the golf- course?"
21854May I?"
21854Meanwhile, will you communicate with Scotland Yard, and let them see what I have written?
21854No?
21854Now can you remember exactly what he said?"
21854Now how could a suicide who dressed himself to make a decent appearance as a corpse forget his teeth?"
21854Now how often may not a plan to throw the guilt of murder on an innocent person have been practised successfully?
21854Now shall we see if we can match them once more?
21854Now will you please tell me?"
21854Now will you tell us the facts of what happened that night?"
21854On the other hand, was the hunt to end in nothing?
21854Or had he, as Trent thought more likely, still played his part with her then, and stolen off while she slept?
21854Or have n''t you?
21854Or is it in league with the infernal powers?
21854Perhaps you''ve done the bedroom already?"
21854Probably-- why else should I be sent there, with money and a ticket?
21854Put thus, what is there that any man with the least knowledge of the ways of lunatics would call remarkable?
21854Say, Cap, are you coming my way, too?
21854See?"
21854Shall we make a move?"
21854She might have suspected, have guessed something; was it conceivable that she was aware of the whole plot, that she connived?
21854Should you wish me to recall the circumstances of Sunday night?"
21854That meant--?"
21854Then how could she treat him thus amiably and frankly, as she treated all the world of men who had done her no injury?
21854Then--"How do you know this is the key of that case?"
21854They paced the length of the lawn before he asked gently:"Why did she marry him?"
21854Think of all our really big men-- the men anywhere near Manderson''s size: did you ever hear of any one of them losing his senses?
21854Third, who ever heard of anybody shooting himself in the eye?
21854Trent?"
21854Trent?"
21854Understand?
21854Was it true?
21854Was n''t I right?
21854Was she there?"
21854Was that all the locking- up you did?"
21854Was that what it was?
21854Was there something queer about Manderson?
21854We are not children-- have you forgotten that?
21854Well, in that case-- just hold on, will you?"
21854Were the clothes in which the body was found the clothes that Mr. Manderson would naturally have worn that day?"
21854What about her?"
21854What about them?"
21854What about this?"
21854What comes next?"
21854What could I do?"
21854What could have happened?
21854What did I do then?"
21854What did Manderson want with an English secretary?"
21854What do you care about his story?
21854What do you think of that interview of this afternoon?"
21854What do you want?"
21854What does all this mean?
21854What does it all mean?"
21854What has happened to you?"
21854What more was to be laid to my charge?
21854What shall we drink?"
21854What was the intention of that?
21854What will he tell them about me?
21854What would you have done?"
21854What_ shall_ I say?"
21854Where is your self- restraint?"
21854Which windows?"
21854Who should threaten it?
21854Why ca n''t you leave a man alone?"
21854Why sit''st thou by that ruined breakfast?
21854Why these details from a man who had long been uncommunicative to his wife, and that upon a point scarcely likely to interest her?
21854Why these details_ about Marlowe_?
21854Will that be enough?''
21854Will you come on with these two gentlemen, Mabel?
21854Will you get young Siegfried to lay a place for me while I go and wash?
21854Will you go?''
21854Will you have it at my table here?"
21854Will you shake hands?"
21854Will you try me as your Own Correspondent somewhere?
21854Yes, of course, the police are; but the servants?
21854Yes?
21854You guess why I''m here, do n''t you?"
21854asked Trent, and Mr. Cupples asked at the same moment:"To what did you attribute it?"
21854shall I tell you a thing that strikes me about this affair at the very beginning?
16998After that admission, do you still deny that you told Mrs. Smith- Lessing, or whatever the woman calls herself, the code word for that safe?
16998Alone?
16998Am I not here?
16998Am I not right?
16998Am I right,he said,"in presuming that you know he was not?"
16998Am I to take it, Mr. Ducaine, then,he said at last,"that you decline to apologize to the Prince?"
16998And Blenavon? 16998 And Lady Angela?"
16998And Mr. Drew Foster?
16998And he?
16998And it was known to whom?
16998And that?
16998And the code word?
16998And the letters which you took from him-- were they addressed to me?
16998And what was there in the safe?
16998And why?
16998And you have met Lord Blenavon? 16998 And you have spoken to him in a public place, perhaps?"
16998And you were back?
16998And you, Mr. Ducaine,she asked, turning towards me,"what have you to say?"
16998And you?
16998And you?
16998And your head and arm?
16998And your luggage?
16998Angela,he said, turning to her,"is it within your knowledge that Blenavon had any acquaintance with this person?"
16998Any one ill at the Grange, doctor?
16998Anything else, Grooton?
16998Are they worth my life?
16998Are you Mr. Ducaine, sir?
16998Are you afraid for your lover?
16998Are you cold?
16998Are you hurt?
16998Are you quite sure?
16998Are you serious?
16998Are you there, Mr. Ducaine? 16998 Are you,"I asked,"my moral guardian?"
16998At the inquest it was not mentioned, I think, that he had been seen in the village?
16998Awful hour to be out of bed, is n''t it? 16998 Been to Sunbridge?"
16998Besides, how do we know that he was not here?
16998Besides, you have written to him, have you not?
16998Blanche got you to change your mind?
16998Boy,he said,"have you any wine?"
16998But do you suppose Lord Chelsford and the others would be willing for me to continue-- under the circumstances?
16998But if you do not tell me everything-- how can you expect my sympathy, perhaps my help?
16998But may I ask what you are going to do with me?
16998But why did n''t you cry out to me?
16998But why quarrel at all?
16998But you yourself-- you no doubt write?
16998By my father?
16998Can I get you anything, sir?
16998Can not I find it, though, without taking you out of your way?
16998Can you tell me if Lord Blenavon is there?
16998Can you tell me,I asked,"what passengers there were from London by the newspaper train this morning?"
16998Coffee ready, Grooton?
16998Colonel Ray is coming down here, of course?
16998Come,he said,"do you agree?
16998Did he accept-- your view?
16998Did he say anything at all?
16998Did he say anything to you?
16998Did this person call on you at all?
16998Did you ever know your father?
16998Did you forget something?
16998Did you hear anything after Ray left?
16998Did you leave her alone here?
16998Did you mean that you would like a game?
16998Did you see him last night?
16998Did you tell her?
16998Do n''t understand what?
16998Do n''t you think that it is worth while? 16998 Do these reports concern me, Grooton?"
16998Do you believe that it was possible for any one to have opened the safe without the knowledge of that word?
16998Do you believe,I asked,"that I murdered him?"
16998Do you happen to know what Colonel Ray thinks of him?
16998Do you know if Lord Blenavon is here?
16998Do you know that some one is making inquiries about-- that man?
16998Do you know who is coming there?
16998Do you know who that is?
16998Do you know who that woman was?
16998Do you mean that he is not dead?
16998Do you mean that she is in this house?
16998Do you mean that you have not seen him yourself-- within the last few months?
16998Do you mean this?
16998Do you mean,I asked incredulously,"that you do not wish me to join you?"
16998Do you really mean me to go to China, sir?
16998Do you see this?
16998Do you think,Ray asked quietly,"that I should be such a damned fool?"
16998Do you think,he said,"that I would stretch out the little finger of my hand to help you or him?
16998Do you want to give it up?
16998Does the end justify the means? 16998 Ducaine, do you know why Lord Blenavon left England so suddenly?"
16998Ducaine,he said,"what relatives have you with whom you are in any sort of communication?"
16998Ducaine,he said,"what time did you say that you left here last night?"
16998Duke, should I be taking a liberty if I asked to be left alone with this young man for five minutes?
16998Even if he were,the Duke said, raising his head,"how could he have known the cipher?"
16998For me?
16998Forgive me,she said,"but did I not see you one day last week upon the sands at Braster with Lady Angela Harberly?"
16998Give them to you?
16998Guy, are you mad?
16998Guy, have you lost your senses? 16998 Guy, is that you?"
16998Guy,he said in a low tone,"will you speak to me for a moment outside?"
16998Has he been ill?
16998Has he gone?
16998Has that woman been here?
16998Has the Duke sent for you to go there?
16998Have they not all been told of this?
16998Have you a spare bedroom, Ducaine?
16998Have you any other reason beyond this for objecting to my marriage with Colonel Ray?
16998Have you been long with the Duke, Grooton?
16998Have you forgotten me?
16998Have you heard anything of our new neighbours?
16998Have you heard of the lady who''s taken Braster Grange? 16998 Have you mentioned this matter to any one?"
16998Have you no ambitions?
16998Have you seen my father?
16998Have you spoken to my father?
16998He came to Braster to see me, then?
16998He was not at home?
16998Here?
16998His father?
16998His name?
16998How are you getting home?
16998How are you, sir?
16998How dare you interfere? 16998 How do you detach it?"
16998How do you know that the post will be one which you will be able to fill?
16998How do you know that the ring is mine?
16998How do you know that?
16998How do you know these things?
16998How do you know this?
16998How do you know,Ray asked,"that he wanted anything from you?"
16998How is it,I asked,"that you are so well acquainted with these things?
16998How much,he asked,"do you know of your family history?"
16998How should I?
16998I am supposed, then,I said,"to be concerned in this fellow''s death?"
16998I am to go back to Braster, then?
16998I am to understand, then, that it was you who committed an unprovoked assault upon me-- who planned to have me waylaid in that dastardly fashion?
16998I am to wish you happiness, am I not?
16998I do not want to seem unkind, but do you think that the length of our acquaintance warrants it?
16998I mean personally?
16998I presume that you do not suspect either of them?
16998I saw you on the eight- twenty, did n''t I?
16998I suppose you brought some men with you?
16998I suppose you know that he''s gone off abroad somewhere?
16998I trust so far that everything is going on satisfactorily?
16998I wonder if she knew that I was about? 16998 I wonder if you know my name?
16998I wonder,he asked,"if you realize what it means?"
16998I?
16998If Lady Angela comes, will you call me? 16998 If he has n''t lost money,"Mrs. Moyat demanded,"why is Rowchester Castle let to that American millionaire?
16998If you are not lovers,I said,"what right have you to marry?"
16998In your own mind, Ducaine,Chelsford said,"have you hazarded a guess as to who that unseen person might be?"
16998In your room?
16998Indeed?
16998Interesting?
16998Is Colonel Ray here?
16998Is Mr. Hill still up at the Court?
16998Is any one at Braster Grange?
16998Is he-- my father-- alive now?
16998Is it a strange taste to love this place?
16998Is it about-- the Prince of Malors?
16998Is it not good to feel the Spring coming?
16998Is it so impossible?
16998Is it,I asked calmly,"a genuine case?"
16998Is that kind of you?
16998Is that you, Ducaine?
16998Is that you?
16998Is the Duke, then, a politician?
16998Is the tide up this morning?
16998Is there any one,he asked,"whom you suspect to have visited you for the purpose, either direct or indirect, of gaining information as to your work?"
16998Is there really a shipwreck? 16998 Is this Bouriggs, Ducaine?"
16998Is this-- all?
16998It is just a sailor, then?
16998It is true, then?
16998It was in self- defence, then?
16998It was no one belonging to the neighbourhood, I understand?
16998It was set at the correct word, the word known only to Colonel Ray, myself, and yourself?
16998It will not be, at any rate, before the autumn, then?
16998It''s Mr. Ducaine, is n''t it?
16998Lady Angela,I said slowly,"would it not be possible for you and Colonel Ray to persuade Lord Blenavon to go abroad?"
16998Lady Angela,I said,"would you mind if I abstained from expressing any opinion at all?
16998Lady Angela-- here?
16998Lady Angela?
16998Malors would n''t do a mean action, and, besides, what on earth has he to gain? 16998 May I ask at whose suggestion you thought of me?"
16998May I ask is he an old family friend?
16998May I ask when you are going to be married?
16998May I ask you a question?
16998Miss Moyat,I said hoarsely,"ca n''t you forget that you saw this man?"
16998Mr. Ducaine consents to go?
16998Mr. Ducaine,he said,"who is there in the household of the Duke who opens that safe and copies those papers?
16998Mr. Ducaine,she exclaimed,"have you seen anything of Lord Blenavon to- day?"
16998Mr. Ducaine,she said at last,"did my father make you any offer of employment this afternoon?"
16998Mr. Ducaine,she said,"do you consider that Colonel Ray is your friend?"
16998My brother right?
16998My young friend,he said,"have you come from Braster to ask that question?"
16998Not even me?
16998Now, tell me,she begged,"where shall we begin?
16998Other people''s doings?
16998Rather a strange situation for a house, is it not?
16998Ray left you after you had seen this man''s face at the window?
16998Secret service work, was n''t it, Grooton?
16998Seen whom?
16998Shall I tell him that you will call at four o''clock this afternoon, or will you go back with me?
16998She believed you?
16998She believes that it was your father?
16998She came in too?
16998She tells the truth?
16998Since then,he asked,"what?"
16998Since you disregarded it,she remarked, lifting her dress from the dew- laden grass on to which we had emerged,"it does not matter, does it?
16998So you find the work too hard, eh?
16998Something has happened-- this morning, has it not?
16998Tell me what he is like-- the Duke?
16998Tell me, are you a great believer in the sanctity of human life?
16998Tell me,she said presently,"have you had a visitor this morning?"
16998That charming little place you can just see from the sands?
16998The Duke?
16998The Duke?
16998The circumstances being--?
16998The man,she murmured,"whom you found-- what was he like?"
16998The proposed subway fortifications as well as the new battery stations?
16998The question is,the Duke said quietly,"did she know it?"
16998The safe, I believe, Mr. Ducaine, was secured with a code lock, the word of which was known to- whom?
16998The whole reason?
16998The word code for the safe to- day was Magenta, I believe?
16998Then what am I to do?
16998Then why all this nervousness and mystery?
16998Then why did that person not appear at the inquest?
16998Then why take any notice of the matter at all?
16998Then you believe,he said,"that I killed him?"
16998There is nothing else you wish to say to me?
16998There is nothing more which you wish to ask me?
16998There were no letters or papers found upon him?
16998There were no signs of the lock having been tampered with when you went to it in the morning?
16998This is the person, I believe,he said in a slow measured tone,"with whom my son, Lord Blenavon, was said to have been intimate?"
16998This is the truth?
16998This man, then,she continued,"he looked in and went away?"
16998Those books,he asked,"are yours?"
16998Twice in a day am I to be brought face to face with your cursed treachery? 16998 Upon me?"
16998Was he drowned, then?
16998Was it my father?
16998Was n''t the inquest horrid?
16998We are almost strangers, are we not? 16998 Well,"I asked,"supposing all you say is true?
16998Well,I said,"that is not very surprising, is it?
16998Well,she said,"what is it that you wish to say?"
16998Well? 16998 Well?"
16998Well?
16998Well?
16998Well?
16998Well?
16998Well?
16998Well?
16998Well?
16998Were there no papers upon him?
16998Were you coming in?
16998What about him?
16998What about lunch?
16998What about the maps?
16998What about these?
16998What about?
16998What am I to think, then, what am I to believe?
16998What are they?
16998What are those papers?
16998What are you doing here?
16998What are you doing here?
16998What are you doing there?
16998What are you doing with it?
16998What can I do?
16998What company is more terrifying than the company of our dead thoughts and dead hopes and dead memories?
16998What did she mean about the lecture?
16998What do you know about it?
16998What do you mean, Ducaine? 16998 What do you mean, Maud?"
16998What do you mean?
16998What do you suggest?
16998What do you think of that man?
16998What do you think, Guy? 16998 What do you want of me?
16998What do you want, Ducaine?
16998What do you want?
16998What does it matter?
16998What has happened to you?
16998What have I done that you should want to banish me into the pastures?
16998What is it?
16998What is it?
16998What is the meaning of this extraordinary exhibition?
16998What is this about your resignation, Ducaine?
16998What is this pleasant meeting which I seem to have interrupted, eh?
16998What liqueur may I bring you, sir?
16998What matter?
16998What need is there to hesitate? 16998 What news, Grooton?"
16998What on earth can such a woman want here?
16998What should I know about him?
16998What trio of conspirators is this talking so earnstly in the shadows? 16998 What were they?"
16998What''s that?
16998What, at this hour?
16998When are you going to marry Colonel Ray?
16998When did you say that the Ajax sailed?
16998Where is your husband?
16998Where who is?
16998Who is it? 16998 Who is that?"
16998Who is this girl, Blanche Moyat?
16998Who visits you at this hour?
16998Who was he, then?
16998Who was that man?
16998Who would have suspected the old man of such folly? 16998 Who?"
16998Whom else save one of your friends who are all upon the Board could you possibly wish to shield?
16998Whom else should I mean?
16998Why did you bring him?
16998Why do n''t you want me to say that I saw this man in the village last night, and that he asked for you, Mr. Ducaine? 16998 Why do you look-- so terrified?"
16998Why not let the rest go? 16998 Why not you?"
16998Why not? 16998 Why not?"
16998Why not?
16998Why not?
16998Why not?
16998Why not?
16998Why should I?
16998Why, my dear Mostyn,she exclaimed,"wherever have you sprung from, and what have you been doing to yourself?"
16998Why? 16998 Why?"
16998Why?
16998Why?
16998Why?
16998Will that do?
16998Will you be good enough to explain those two misstatements, Colonel Ray?
16998Will you come up and dine with us to- night? 16998 Will you get ready, please?
16998Will you have Mr. Ducaine''s things packed and sent across-- did you say to your house, Lord Chelsford?
16998Will you put me up for a day-- perhaps two?
16998Will you take coffee, sir?
16998Will you, Ducaine, return to Lady Angela and tell her exactly what has happened?
16998With a list of the places to be fortified, eh? 16998 With that woman?"
16998Would you allow me to help your Grace with your correspondence?
16998Yes?
16998You approve?
16998You are alone?
16998You are expecting her?
16998You are quite right, Mr. Ducaine,she said;"but this is no visit of courtesy, is it?
16998You are really going, then?
16998You are really going-- to China?
16998You are sure he is dead?
16998You are sure of that?
16998You are sure of what you say, Ducaine?
16998You are surprised?
16998You can speak like this before his son?
16998You did not write to him, for instance, when Heathcote absconded, and you had to leave college?
16998You did what?
16998You do not know whether Mrs. Smith- Lessing is expected back?
16998You have been to the safe this morning, then?
16998You have come to London,Ray answered quietly,"to ask me this?"
16998You have employment?
16998You have sealed it properly?
16998You have seen him already this morning, then?
16998You have set them on-- the police-- then?
16998You have some idea, I presume, as to his identity?
16998You know her address in London?
16998You know the circumstances?
16998You know the consequences?
16998You know what they are saying in the village about you, young man?
16998You live in Braster, surely?
16998You mean this?
16998You mean this?
16998You mean to say that you can not take that off?
16998You mean-- that they might suspect you of killing him?
16998You really mean it?
16998You remember Grooton?
16998You remember Mrs. Smith- Lessing, do n''t you-- down at Bordighera, you know?
16998You think-- that it would be better?
16998You told Ray what you have told me?
16998You took your degree?
16998You were not hurt, then?
16998You will believe the story of strangers?
16998You will not object to my sending a note to Lady Angela by your servant?
16998You will see that my visiting her does not prejudice me further with the Board, sir?
16998You will tell me nothing, then?
16998You wish me, then,she said,"not to mention about that man-- his asking the way to your cottage?"
16998You would have me go shuddering past the fatal spot, I suppose, with shaking knees and averted head, eh? 16998 You would have me marry her, then?"
16998You would hunt him down still? 16998 You?"
16998Your Grace,I said,"is it likely that any one would admit the possibility of such a thing?"
16998Your brother has left England, has he not?
16998Your father,he said slowly,"is in London?"
16998Your name then is Guy Ducaine?
16998Your reasons?
1699829, Bloomsbury Street-- poor rooms, but our remittances have gone astray, and I have been ill. To- morrow, eh?
16998After all these years?"
16998After all, I had guarded my secret well, then?
16998After all, is it worth while to spoil them by worrying about other people''s doings?"
16998And later on, had I dreamed it, or had there really been a cry?
16998And you?"
16998Another glass of wine?"
16998Are you breakfasting down stairs, sir?"
16998Are you in a position to accept a post of some importance?"
16998Are you my friend or my enemy?
16998Are you willing to leave at once with us and to depart altogether from this part of the country, or will you face the consequences?"
16998But do you know who it is?"
16998But if you leave, how is this to be carried on?
16998But what in Heaven''s name is the meaning of this last abstraction''from the safe?"
16998But, Guy, what should you say to five thousand pounds?"
16998By- the- bye,"he added suddenly,"who did find him?"
16998CHAPTER III THE CRY IN THE NIGHT"You''d be having company last night, sir?"
16998CHAPTER XXVII FRIEND OR ENEMY?
16998Ca n''t somebody-- help me?"
16998Ca n''t you see that such stern morality as yours is the most exquisite form of selfishness?
16998Ca n''t you see that this girl''s statement does away with the theory that he was washed up from the sea?
16998Can I offer you anything?"
16998Can you both hold it tightly?"
16998Can you come to Cavendish Square this afternoon?"
16998Can you lower me a lantern, and I will see if I can climb up?"
16998Can you repeat what you have said?"
16998Clerk to the Military Defence Board, eh?
16998Cowes, Homburg, town house, or Annette?
16998Damn you, Ray, why are you always interfering in my concerns?"
16998Dare you play truant for a little while and walk on the sands?"
16998Did I not hear of a tragedy only the other day-- a man found dead?"
16998Did I understand that you wished to see me?"
16998Did n''t he come to you?"
16998Did she believe that I was responsible for this grim tragedy which had so suddenly thrown its shadow over my humdrum little life?
16998Did she want this post for some one else?
16998Did you?"
16998Do you follow me?"
16998Do you know where he is?"
16998Do you mean to tell me, Mr. Ducaine, that Colonel Ray went so far as to charge Blenavon to his face with being in league with this person?"
16998Do you not see that the sooner it is all over-- the better-- the safer-- up there?"
16998Do you remember who has been in the room to- day, sir?"
16998Do you suppose that I want to creep through life at a woman''s apron- strings?
16998Do you want to become like him?
16998Do you want to ruin your whole life?"
16998Do you want to turn the other way whenever you meet an Englishman, to skulk all your days in hiding, to be the scorn even of the men who employ you?
16998Do you?"
16998Does it not suggest to you that he may have been robbed?"
16998Does n''t that strike you as singular?"
16998Does no reason occur to you why the Duke might wish to see me?"
16998Ducaine?"
16998Ducaine?"
16998Ducaine?"
16998Ducaine?"
16998Ducaine?"
16998Ducaine?"
16998Ducaine?"
16998Ducaine?"
16998Ducaine?"
16998Ducaine?"
16998Ducaine?"
16998Ducaine?"
16998Ducaine?"
16998Ducaine?"
16998Eh?"
16998Guy, have you heard from him?
16998Had the Duke come to see me off, or had his suspicions been aroused?
16998Has the Duke forgiven him?"
16998Has the Duke returned?"
16998Have you seen Blenavon yet?"
16998Here in the garish day there was surely nothing to fear?
16998Hill?"
16998Hollings?"
16998How can you rely upon my trustworthiness?
16998How could I hope to understand?
16998How could I see light through all these things?
16998How could I throw away such a chance?"
16998How dare she?
16998How many more problems was I to be confronted with during these long- drawn- out days of mystery?
16998I ask you, in the name of common sense, upon whom the blame is likely to fall?
16998I suppose it is terribly wicked to keep anything back like that, is n''t it?"
16998I wonder how our friends on the other side felt when they knew that they had paid fifty thousand pounds for false information?
16998I wonder-- don''t you think perhaps that you might get some others?"
16998If he was not thrown up by the sea, can you explain them?"
16998If he were wholly bad, do you believe that after all these years I should care for him still?"
16998In England what does that, mean?"
16998Is anything the matter?"
16998Is it not so?"
16998Is it safe to discuss an important matter with Guy here?"
16998Is it well to treat me like an enemy?"
16998Is n''t that so?"
16998Is there a spoon there, Lady Angela?"
16998Is this why you do not wish me to marry him?"
16998It is always worth while to play a little to the gallery, is n''t it?
16998It is carried out altogether, I believe, at the''Brand''?"
16998It is n''t an uncommon occurrence here, is it?"
16998It was a grind, was n''t it?"
16998Lady Angela, can you tell me where your brother was last night?"
16998Lady Angela, may I beg that you will leave us?"
16998Let me see, I am sure that I know your face, do I not?"
16998Let me see, was n''t I at Magdalen with you?"
16998Let me see, where was I?
16998Lord Chelsford, what does it all mean?"
16998Maud, are we overheard here, do you think?
16998May I ask what it was that you had in view?"
16998May I come in?"
16998May I have the pleasure of escorting you to the house?"
16998May I know-- is it any secret why you were with her?"
16998May I walk with you back to the house, Lady Angela?
16998Might I leave it open for the present?"
16998Might you have seen him, sir?"
16998Mr. Ducaine, how did he die?
16998Nevertheless she drew a little closer to me, and almost whispered in my ear--"Do you know who he is, what he wanted to see you about?"
16998No doubt, too, you have gone into the railway and commissariat arrangements?"
16998Of course it would only be a thirty bob a week job, but I suppose you''d live on that all right, unless you were thinking of getting married, eh?"
16998Of course, you being a college young gentleman might not care about it, but there''s times when any sort of a job is better than none, eh?"
16998Oh, Lady Angela, what is there I can say?
16998Perhaps Lord Chelsford may not consider my resignation necessary?"
16998Perhaps,"she added, leaning a little over towards Ray, and in a slightly altered tone,"perhaps you can help me?"
16998Smith- Lessing?"
16998Smith- Lessing?"
16998So he led her away, but what did I care?
16998Tell me that?"
16998Tell me, was Colonel Ray in Braster at the time?"
16998The Duke continued--"You have heard, my young friend,"he said,"of the Committee of National Defence?"
16998The general scheme of defence is, of course, known to you?"
16998The positions to be held and the general distribution of troops?
16998There is forgiveness for everybody, is n''t there?
16998These military manoeuvres of our friends across the water are just a little obvious even to John Bull, eh?
16998Was Mostyn Ray in Braster at the time?"
16998Was he as severe on every measure of wrong- doing?
16998Was he even now insisting upon an explanation with Lord Chelsford?
16998Was he in the study at that hour?"
16998Was it fair that she should ask me?
16998Was it my fancy, or was she indeed a little paler?
16998Was it possible that she, a mere child, had even the glimmering of a suspicion as to the truth?
16998Was that a possible conclusion?
16998Was your friend a murderer?"
16998Were you at any time my father''s friend?"
16998What are those papers?"
16998What can I do?"
16998What could I say in answer to such a speech as this?
16998What could he have to do with any appointment which the Duke might offer me?
16998What did he want with me?"
16998What did she know?
16998What did these people want with me?
16998What do you do here to a man who calls you a liar?"
16998What do you suggest, Duke?"
16998What do you think of him?"
16998What followed?"
16998What had she meant by that curious warning?
16998What harm can it do you?"
16998What have you done with it?"
16998What in God''s name, are we going to do with him?"
16998What is it?"
16998What killed him?"
16998What remains?
16998What the devil is the meaning of this?"
16998What then?"
16998What was the knowledge or the fear which inspired it?
16998What was there, indeed, for me to say?
16998What would she say if she knew?
16998When a man meets brother man in the wilds, who talks of charity?
16998Which is it?"
16998Who dares to suggest such a thing?
16998Who is it, Maud?"
16998Who is the traitor?"
16998Who was I to argue with Ray, whose fame was in every one''s mouth-- soldier, traveller, and diplomatist?
16998Who was he?
16998Who was he?
16998Who was that man, and what did he want with me?"
16998Whom did she suspect?
16998Whose word is it, I wonder, that you have taken so abjectly-- with such an open mouth?
16998Why do you ask?
16998Why do you ask?"
16998Why do you come to me?"
16998Why do you say that you can never be my friend?"
16998Why does n''t he live there himself?"
16998Why should you be afraid?"
16998Why should you think that?"
16998Why trouble yourself or me about the matter at all?
16998Will you come into the drawing- room for a moment?"
16998Will you come to the club with me, and have some dinner?"
16998Will you come?"
16998Will you leave this place?
16998Will you pardon me if I turn my back to you for a moment?
16998Will you shake hands with me, Guy?"
16998Will you step inside, sir?"
16998Would Lady Angela take pity upon an unentertained guest?"
16998Would his hands be clean to her, or would the horror rise up like a red wall between them?
16998You believe that we are justified?"
16998You follow me?"
16998You found the body, did you not?"
16998You have been in to breakfast, have you not?"
16998You have that?
16998You realize for yourself, of course, that such details as you have spoken of can never be kept altogether secret?
16998You told Lady Angela?"
16998You understand?"
16998You will go and see him?"
16998You will not fail, Guy?"
16998Your reward, eh?"
16998he asked,"the man who shot with us?"
16998or the next day?
16998she asked,"or am I so alarming?"
16998she asked,"that he needs secretaries?"
16998what''s wrong, sir?"
16998whereabouts, sir?"
12590A delicate- looking man?
12590A foreigner, I suppose?
12590A gentleman to see me?
12590A gum- tree?
12590A rich man, you say, and an Australian?
12590A young gentleman, and sent by me?
12590Although you thought me guilty?
12590Am I really so late as all that?
12590And am I not?
12590And are not you?
12590And as a woman you believe this woman innocent?
12590And ca n''t he play?
12590And did he do so?
12590And did he really tell you I had sent him?
12590And did you see the check?
12590And do you know where I got the check to knock down? 12590 And do you mean to tell me that you took a degree?"
12590And do you really think that would make a book?
12590And do you still desire to dine with us?
12590And do you think my sight is not good for a hundred yards,retorted Steel,"when you are at the end of them?
12590And have I said I was in love with you?
12590And he knows why you do n''t want it known over here?
12590And he was belaboring them with a cushion, did you say?
12590And he you?
12590And is she not going to see that poor fellow?
12590And married again?
12590And not even the benefit of your advice?
12590And now?
12590And pray what color was the blanket?
12590And pray when did you see John to hear all this?
12590And pray,demanded Rachel,"where are my things?"
12590And should you make her guilty or not guilty?
12590And that is the verdict of you all?
12590And that was?
12590And then he sent you to the devil to do your worst?
12590And then?
12590And was that the last time you saw him alive?
12590And what are you going to do about it?
12590And what do you think of it, madam?
12590And what do you think of it?
12590And what do you want to make me now?
12590And what happened to you?
12590And what is he like?
12590And what is her name?
12590And what may the first point be?
12590And what was that?
12590And what, may I ask, is my latest sin of omission?
12590And where did you see all this?
12590And where had your husband been spending the evening?
12590And where is that?
12590And who told Mr. Langholm, of all people?
12590And who was I to take measures on your behalf?
12590And who was she?
12590And why not?
12590And you admit that you knew Alexander quite well out there?
12590And you are going to try to bring it home to this man?
12590And you do n''t think so still?
12590And you mean that nobody in the district knew anything at all about my husband?
12590And, seeing, do you not forgive?
12590Any idea what time of night?
12590Anything more I can show you?
12590Anything worth finding out?
12590Are you going to let the disgrace continue?
12590Are you going?
12590Are you her only servant?
12590Are you quite sure you do n''t want to cut our acquaintance?
12590Are you still speaking for the district?
12590Are you sure,she cried,"that they would not know me-- up north?"
12590As a perfect stranger?
12590As a woman-- don''t you think she might?
12590Bad-- worse? 12590 Blackmailing him?"
12590Both of them, eh?
12590But am I not to hear also?
12590But can you doubt it?
12590But did he go to Normanthorpe?
12590But do you prefer an ice, or more strawberries and cream?
12590But has he turned up?
12590But he did get over it?
12590But if the station was his?
12590But is that a fact?
12590But need we go?
12590But no relation, as a matter of fact?
12590But surely it was a very sordid case?
12590But surely you have n''t been quarrelling with her?
12590But the reason for so elaborate a pretence?
12590But what am I to do?
12590But what have you been doing to get wet like that? 12590 But what on earth is the meaning of it?"
12590But where am I to turn?
12590But where does the coincidence come in?
12590But why was it that they took such pains to keep his name out of the case?
12590But why?
12590But you think all the more, I suppose?
12590But you will do your best? 12590 But your mistress has been here some years?"
12590By poking your nose into places which you would not think of approaching in my presence?
12590By''caring,''said he,"do you mean being''in love,''as they say, and all that?"
12590Ca n''t you see it for yourself? 12590 Could I?"
12590Did John say it was a blue blanket, Harris, or did your own imagination supply the color?
12590Did he leave him to your master?
12590Did it follow that I could have no pride?
12590Did it never occur to you that I might have thought he was asleep?
12590Did n''t he keep any papers here?
12590Did n''t your solicitor tell you?
12590Did you do nothing with it all,she asked,"before you married?"
12590Did you find it out then?
12590Did you hear nothing as you went upstairs again?
12590Did you let him see it?
12590Did you look twice at my card? 12590 Did you never see one before?"
12590Did you really think I would come to meet the writer of a letter like yours, at night, in a spot like this, with a single penny- piece in my pocket? 12590 Did you right through my trial?"
12590Did you think that he had shot himself?
12590Did you think they looked as though they had ever seen each other before?
12590Do n''t you?
12590Do you actually hint that Mr. Steel has or could have been a gainer by Mr. Minchin''s death?
12590Do you find the prisoner guilty or not guilty?
12590Do you forbid me?
12590Do you forgive me?
12590Do you hear me? 12590 Do you know Mr. Steel so well-- so much better than we do-- and can you ask for particulars about anything he ever does?
12590Do you know if he ever came in at all?
12590Do you live abroad?
12590Do you mean to say he had the impudence to bring a blanket with him?
12590Do you mean to say that you have any suspicion who it is?
12590Do you mean to tell me that you were prepared for an acquittal?
12590Do you really mean that that is Mr. Justice Gibson, who tried Mrs. Minchin at the Old Bailey last November?
12590Do you remember the name?
12590Do you still pin your faith to the man in the street?
12590Do you think she would trust me?
12590Does it put one outside the local pale to keep to oneself any painful incident in one''s own career? 12590 Feeling more yourself?"
12590For me?
12590For telling her what the whole world thinks of her? 12590 For what?"
12590Forgiven?
12590Gentlemen, are you greed upon your verdict?
12590Got it all down?
12590Have I denied that the portrait you saw is indeed the portrait of Alexander Minchin? 12590 Have you anything better to suggest yourself, Rachel?"
12590Have you been here long, my girl?
12590Have you communicated with the police?
12590Have you found out anything?
12590Have you found out-- anything at all?
12590Have you guessed who she was-- before she married me-- or has anybody told you?
12590Have you heard?
12590Have you nothing there?
12590Have you really been at college?
12590He had just arrived from the country, I presume?
12590He knows her, do you tell me? 12590 How can I thank you?"
12590How can I, Rachel?
12590How can you know that?
12590How can you know?
12590How do I get my plots?
12590How does Steel take the development, by the way?
12590How long did he stay?
12590Hugh,she began,"do you remember being with Rachel yesterday at Hornby, when she was introduced to Sir Baldwin Gibson?"
12590I am innocent-- so why should I?
12590I do n''t know how much that was,remarked Langholm;"but if you were n''t a partner, what claim had you on the profits?"
12590I remember once hearing that Sir Baldwin Gibson and Lord Edgeware were the two fairest judges on the bench; and why, do you suppose? 12590 I seem, do you know, to know his face?"
12590I suppose it was a station?
12590I suppose,he added,"that a man may call his wife by her Christian name for once in a way?
12590I thought you came out to listen to me?
12590I wonder who he is?
12590I''m sorry to disturb you, dear, but who do you think is here?
12590I?
12590If you do n''t know where he lives in the country,he burst out,"where is he staying in town?"
12590In my favor?
12590Indeed?
12590Is he there?
12590Is it your own name?
12590Is n''t it his real name?
12590Is that a challenge?
12590Is that all?
12590Is that the gushing woman with the quiet daughters who called last Thursday?
12590Is there so much about me, then?
12590Is your mistress in?
12590It does n''t matter?
12590It might, perhaps, be no more than the truth; but have I had the insolence to tell you so?
12590It was a three- figured check you had from Mr. Steel, was it?
12590Knew him? 12590 Langholm, I thought last summer we were to be rather friends?
12590Like-- everybody-- else?
12590Madam, have you followed the case?
12590Married?
12590May I ask my new name?
12590May I make a personal remark?
12590Minchin''s diary was n''t one like yours, was it?
12590Mr. Minchin was not afterwards a partner of yours, was he?
12590Mrs. Minchin,said Steel,"can you not really trust me yet?"
12590My dear Mrs. Brunton,he exclaimed,"what on earth has happened?
12590My dear Mrs. Venables, you ca n''t mean that you are bringing me a piece of unpleasant gossip on the very afternoon of my first dinner- party?
12590My dear Rachel, what can I do? 12590 My first idea was-- right?"
12590Name of Langholm?
12590No wonder we never even heard--"And what then?
12590No? 12590 Nor anywhere else in the country, think you?"
12590Nor where she lives?
12590Not a rattle at the letter- box?
12590Not in the north of England, for example?
12590Not one of the gardeners, I hope?
12590Not twenty in hard cash?
12590Of course you recognized the judge?
12590Of what?
12590Oh, Mr. Langholm, do you write books?
12590On that desk, eh?
12590On whom?
12590Quite right,said Langholm--"and then?"
12590Really?
12590Right?
12590Satisfied?
12590Seen anything of her?
12590Since when?
12590Some of them,said Rachel;"have n''t you?"
12590Sure you wo n''t wait till the rain is over?
12590Surely not the judge?
12590The Mr. Steel who sent me his card after the trial?
12590The judge, is he?
12590The new law? 12590 Then I only hope,"said Rachel, on one of her impulses,"that you do n''t disagree with the verdict?"
12590Then are you any relation?
12590Then did John see what happened?
12590Then do you think she really was guilty?
12590Then where does he live?
12590Then who could it be but thieves?
12590Then why in the world,Rachel almost thundered,"could you not tell me so in the beginning?"
12590Then you agree with me, Hugh?
12590Then you did n''t see any more of Mr. Steel that night?
12590Then you do n''t think it''s me any longer?
12590Then you have nothing of his left?
12590Then you intend to call upon her?
12590Then you will bring her to me?
12590Then you''re not a Northborough man?
12590These actor- managers-- what?
12590Was it a station?
12590Was it one that he could prove?
12590Was that the Chief Warder in the dock?
12590Was that the last time you saw your husband alive?
12590Was that what brought you to my trial for his murder?
12590Was that what made you wish to marry me yourself?
12590Was this neighbor a young man?
12590Was your husband jealous of him?
12590Well, and what''s your price?
12590Well, wo n''t you come through this way?
12590Well?
12590Well?
12590Well?
12590Well?
12590Well?
12590Well?
12590Were you at the trial?
12590What are you drivin''at?
12590What did you say?
12590What did you talk about, then?
12590What does it matter what she was? 12590 What does this mean?"
12590What for?
12590What gentleman?
12590What is it that you thought, Langholm?
12590What is that?
12590What is the time, please?
12590What makes you so certain that this was the revolver?
12590What right or excuse had I to mix myself up in your affairs? 12590 What was my share?
12590What was the point?
12590What''s that you have got?
12590What-- when you know really nothing about Mr. Steel himself?
12590What? 12590 What?"
12590When do you expect her?
12590When was the doctor here last?
12590Where are you going?
12590Where are you going?
12590Where do you come from?
12590Where to, sir?
12590Who are you talking about?
12590Who do you say it is?
12590Who is he?
12590Who is it?
12590Who is that fellow?
12590Who? 12590 Whom one only-- but tremendously-- admires?"
12590Why are you up?
12590Why have you pretended all these months that you never were in Australia in your life? 12590 Why not?"
12590Why should I run away?
12590Why, ca n''t you see that he bowled her out himself and came up straight to sell the news?
12590Why-- who is it?
12590Will you bet?
12590Will you have the goodness to explain yourself?
12590Will you have the goodness to let me go?
12590Will you not even tell me where she lives?
12590Would n''t refuse?
12590Would you really like to know?
12590Would you really?
12590Would you say that if you had got the man? 12590 Yes-- amounts to the same thing, does n''t it?"
12590Yes? 12590 Yes?"
12590Yet you brought home all those keepsakes of the bush?
12590Yet you do n''t any longer deny that you have been to Australia?
12590You are speaking for the neighborhood?
12590You are sure he was wearing it?
12590You are sure you realize who I am?
12590You are sure,he pursued,"that Mr. Minchin was in possession of this precious secret at the time of his death?"
12590You believe, at least, in the bona fides of my offer?
12590You do n''t mean to tell me you have struck a clew?
12590You have not thought me guilty all along, then?
12590You have, have you?
12590You heard them both?
12590You kept this secret up your sleeve to play it for all it was worth in a country where it would be worth more than it was in the back- blocks? 12590 You knew him in Australia, then?"
12590You know my inexperience, and you have come to tell me things, have you not? 12590 You know the side- door near the billiard- room?
12590You mean if Mr. Minchin had gone on living?
12590You really prefer not to come in?
12590You really think it will be that?
12590You really were unconscious for days afterwards?
12590You say that was the last letter he ever wrote in your office?
12590You talked it over with her, however?
12590You will come and see us, wo n''t you?
12590You would tell him, of course?
12590You, with your plots and your problems that nobody can solve; do n''t you think you could unravel this one for me?
12590_ You_ followed_ me_?
12590''Young man,''said he,''have you placed a romance in your mother''s backyard yet?''
12590A stroll, too, would be pleasanter than sitting indoors, do n''t you think?
12590And again, what did it matter if they did?
12590And did Steel know the truth concerning his wife?
12590And did he not?
12590And did you hear what she said about his age?
12590And even in my own life I should, I hope, be the more than occasional gainer by her society; may I also add, by her sympathy, by her advice?
12590And now do you mind putting me ashore?"
12590And the dead man''s painted eyes answered"Why?"
12590And what could it be but love?
12590And what did I get out of it?"
12590And what did it matter who saw her and who knew her now?
12590And what does it matter what they think or say?
12590And what does it matter?
12590And what might not happen before the day was out?
12590And what then?"
12590And whither, in all the world?
12590And whither?
12590And who are those others, I should like to know?
12590And why must he expatiate upon the judge''s kindness to the female witnesses, instead of on the grand result of the trial over which he had presided?
12590Are they your husband''s school or college?"
12590Are you the type to make women happy, women with anything in them, women with nerves?
12590Brunton?"
12590Brunton?"
12590But could she do it, even if she would?
12590But do you mean to tell me that Mrs. Steel has been tried for something?"
12590But do you mean to tell me that it was Mr. Steel to whom you referred in your letter?"
12590But how do you know?
12590But how long have you known this, Morna?"
12590But is it not disgraceful?
12590But one or two little points there are-- if you would not mind my first mentioning them to your husband?"
12590But was it?
12590But was the law itself capable of coping with such a man?
12590But what business of ours, as you say?
12590But what does it matter what is said?
12590But what would you gain?"
12590But who told you he was ever out there?
12590But why do you suppose he made it even three?
12590But why suppress a fact so free from all discredit?
12590By the way, I hope you do n''t mind my cigar?
12590CHAPTER VI A PERIPATETIC PROVIDENCE"Do you still pin your faith to the man in the street?"
12590CHAPTER XXVII THE WHOLE TRUTH"Have the ladies gone?"
12590Can you look me in the face and tell me that you married me for love?
12590Can you look me in the face and tell me you do n''t believe it, like all the rest of the world?"
12590Could he be mistaken after all?
12590Could she bring herself to set foot inside that house again?
12590Could this amiable young woman know all?
12590Crofts?"
12590Darling, you would not think the worse of Rachel for keeping her past life to herself, would you, especially if it had been a very unhappy one?"
12590Did he care for her, or did he not?
12590Did she regret this second marriage, this second leap in the dark?
12590Did she tell you we go by the 12:55 from Northborough?"
12590Did you hear me?"
12590Did you mean the Mrs. Minchin who was tried for murder, when you were talking about your plot?"
12590Did you put him into my room?"
12590Did you sit up with him all night long?"
12590Do n''t you see how delightfully provincial they are?
12590Do you hear them now?
12590Do you know Claridge''s Hotel, by the way?"
12590Do you mean to tell me that you actually think I did it still?"
12590Do you mind the tumbler?
12590Do you see?"
12590Doing anything to- morrow night?"
12590Guilty?
12590Had Langholm realized that he had put a question which he had no business to put?
12590Had he many Australian friends here in London?"
12590Had he not argued her case with Mrs. Venables at the time, and had he not told her so on the very evening that they met?
12590Had they made so sure of her conviction as all that?
12590Have I ever taken anybody''s part against you, Morna, that you should think me likely to begin now?"
12590Have you had her under the microscope all the summer?
12590Have you really seen anything of the lady?"
12590How can I convince you that I have all my wits about me?
12590How could it, Langholm?"
12590How do you do, Mr. Langholm?
12590How_ do_ you fit in twenty- six people at one table?
12590I suppose you knew that?"
12590I understand you offered him your cottage while you were away, but there was some muddle, and he came before they were ready for him?
12590I wonder if you remember him?"
12590If he also was an Australian, why on earth should that fact, of all facts, be concealed from her?
12590Is an accusation down here the same thing as a conviction?
12590Is it the usual thing to question people who have made a second marriage-- supposing I am one-- about their first?
12590Is that all you can suggest, you who married me after hearing with your own ears every scrap of evidence that they could bring against me?"
12590Is that not a disgrace to common humanity?"
12590Is there nothing to choose between''guilty''and''not guilty''?"
12590It could have made no difference after Alexander Minchin''s death; then why had he kept the fact so jealously to himself?
12590It was an inglorious exit that Langholm made; but he was thinking to himself, was there ever so inglorious a triumph?
12590Langholm, you were almost at her heels when she was introduced to the old judge yesterday?"
12590Langholm?"
12590May I ask who she is exactly?"
12590May I still think it of you?"
12590Meanwhile wo n''t you trust me-- implicitly-- until then?"
12590Minchin?"
12590Minchin?"
12590Nobody had asked her for it; she had kept it for this; dare she use it after all?
12590Not going to wait for the end of the fourth act?"
12590Of course, my dear Langholm, you have n''t really anything of any account to tell?
12590Oh, Hugh, you do like Rachel, do n''t you?"
12590On the night of the murder do you remember coming downstairs and going or rather looking into the study-- at one o''clock in the morning?"
12590Only you came here at your own proposal in order, I suppose, to sell this secret to me?"
12590Rum thing, was n''t it?
12590So that''s a sprig of gum- tree, is it?"
12590So these women are coming again to- morrow, are they?"
12590So you know it is some one else?"
12590Some subtle motive there had been; why could he never tell her what it was?
12590Something had kept her; had he?
12590Steel or his wife?"
12590Steel?"
12590Steel?"
12590Steel?"
12590Steel?"
12590Steel?"
12590Steel?"
12590Steel?"
12590Steel?"
12590Steel?"
12590Steel?"
12590Still want to see it?"
12590Still, it is mysterious, is n''t it?
12590Suppose it were a lover, and inquire one must: would one not still leave those inquiries to the last?
12590Suppose you tell me the rest in the boat?
12590Supposing we make a compact now?"
12590Surely you must see the only conceivable inference?"
12590Surely you will take a rest?"
12590The Carringtons?
12590The whole lot?
12590The woman who was tried for murdering her husband?"
12590Then where was she to go?
12590Then why cast them into a secret lumber- room whose very existence was unknown to the old Australian''s Australian wife?
12590Then why did he never behave as though he were in love?
12590Then will you, in God''s name, tell me why you did marry me?"
12590There was one lie at least, then why not two?
12590To offer to marry a person whom one does not-- as yet-- pretend to love?"
12590Was ever anything more like him, or less like anybody else?
12590Was he obliged to appear?
12590Was it a sound of bolts and bars that followed?
12590Was it love?
12590Was that the face of a determined murderess?
12590Was that the face that had been hidden from them all these days?
12590Was there any truth in it?
12590Well, Langholm, put salt on him yet?"
12590Were you, or were you not, the Mrs. Minchin who was tried last winter for her husband''s murder?"
12590What about a motive?"
12590What can matter to me?
12590What conceivable harm could that have done?
12590What could be the object of that extraordinary step?
12590What did Mrs. Minchin intend to do?
12590What did it matter who or what he was?
12590What do the facts matter, Mrs. Steel, when one has an idea like that for fiction?
12590What does it matter now?"
12590What happened then?"
12590What harm can it do anybody if I see her once more?"
12590What harm could it have done, my knowing that?"
12590What is the good?
12590What on earth had you to say about me?"
12590What reason did she give?"
12590What sort of woman would such a man marry, and what sort of woman would marry such a man?
12590What was his intention, and what his object?
12590What was she to do?
12590What was she to think?
12590What was the secret of this second marriage on the part of one who had been so recently and so miserably married?
12590What were these immediate measures?"
12590What would she do or say?
12590What, then, was the explanation-- the history-- the excuse?
12590Where did she propose to go?
12590Where did you pick them up?"
12590Where was the evidence of the man who had made all the mischief between the Minchins?
12590Where''s your corroboration?
12590Who are you, and what do you mean by writing to me like that?"
12590Who would look for her afoot so near the scene of her late ordeal?
12590Why did you never tell me that you knew Alexander Minchin out there?"
12590Why had he married her?
12590Why had he never told her his real motive in marrying her?
12590Why had he not told her about Australia, at all events?
12590Why had she broken faith?
12590Why had the name he wanted never come up in open court?
12590Why not have told her frankly that he had known Alexander Minchin years before she did herself?
12590Why on earth did you let me rattle on?
12590Why should he lie?
12590Why should they suspect her?
12590Why so often and so systematically pretend that you never were in Australia at all?"
12590Why, what have they got here?"
12590Will that not do?"
12590Woodgate?"
12590Woodgate?"
12590Woodgate?"
12590Woodgate?"
12590Yes, yes, yes; do you think I forget it?
12590Yes?"
12590Yet, when all was said, or when all that had been said could be remembered, would his behavior be found so very inexplicable?
12590You did n''t expect me earlier, did you?
12590You do n''t mean to say he knows something against Mrs. Steel, and has been giving her away?"
12590You know that Mrs. Vinson, the Invernesses''new agent''s wife?"
12590You see that dark chap with the cigar, who''s just come in to listen?
12590You would not have said that, Morna; but are you sure you would not have said it in your heart?
12590Your name is not very common, is it?"
12590he cried;"you call yourself a lady, and you do n''t look at the end before you reach it?"
12590returned the matter- of- fact clergyman, with equal directness--"and who is he?"
12590she cried;"oh, may I not speak to your wife?"
11451A plot, no doubt, but organized by whom? 11451 A thief, in fact?"
11451A woman?
11451After you had taken your dose of chloral?
11451After your strong and well- grounded suspicions?
11451Ah, indeed, in 7 and 8? 11451 Ah, madame, what indeed?
11451All these are possibilities, of course, but-- pardon me, dear colleague-- a little far- fetched, eh?
11451Alone? 11451 And afterwards?"
11451And did she encourage him?
11451And he did not do so? 11451 And her mistress too?"
11451And how so, pray? 11451 And if it does not suit me to go?"
11451And now-- of all times-- may I say one word more?
11451And on the journey-- you spoke to her frequently?
11451And that was--?
11451And that, of course, would have justified his arrest?
11451And the last compartment, for four?
11451And the last time was at Amberieux?
11451And the maid had removed it?
11451And then kept it?
11451And these friends were--?
11451And they were friendly?
11451And this Hortense? 11451 And this, my princess?
11451And was that all?
11451And what became of it, then?
11451And what do you deduce from all this? 11451 And what of your duty, your service, pray?"
11451And where is the maid now, d''you suppose?
11451And where, madame, did you obtain your maid?
11451And why did you want this? 11451 And with you, what was her character?"
11451And you followed?
11451And you still have an impression that some one-- presumably this woman-- got off the car, somehow, during the stoppage?
11451And you, Block, where shall you go?
11451And you, gentlemen?
11451And you,he went on, addressing M. Floçon,"dear colleague, will you see to their execution?
11451And you-- greedy, gormandizing beast!--you agreed?
11451Are there no indications, no marks or signs, to say whether it is Quadling or not?
11451Are you drunk? 11451 Are you sorry, Sabine?
11451Are you sure of him? 11451 As for instance--?"
11451At least you know how the berths were occupied, how many in each, and which persons? 11451 At whose instance was the train pulled up?"
11451Block? 11451 But did not speak to him?"
11451But how could that be? 11451 But if I might ask-- why this interest?"
11451But if it was this Hortense Petitpré how did she get there, by the bridge Henri Quatre, when we thought to find her somewhere down the line? 11451 But if that was not Ripaldi, who was it?
11451But if these could be proved to be hers?
11451But some of the others would surely have remarked the change?
11451But the fragment of lace, the broken beading? 11451 But what can have become of her?"
11451But where?
11451But you knew him?
11451But you, General, what are your plans?
11451But, monsieur, I was not to know, was I? 11451 But, sir, how can I?
11451By me? 11451 By the same door as that through which you had seen the skirt pass?"
11451Ca n''t you see she is not equal to it?
11451Can it be possible? 11451 Can you help us to find this miscreant, whoever he may be?"
11451Come, what have you to say?
11451Confederates?
11451Could you form any explanation for what you saw in her face? 11451 Did any one come out of the vacant compartment?"
11451Did any one else notice the flirtation, do you think?
11451Did he speak to any other passenger?
11451Did she go through the barrier with the other passengers?
11451Did she speak of it, or refer to it?
11451Did she wear it on the journey?
11451Did you feel this drowsiness before leaving Laroche?
11451Did you frequent her house?
11451Did you know all her friends?
11451Did you speak to her?
11451Disappeared? 11451 Do you agree, M. le Juge?
11451Do you draw any conclusion from it?
11451Do you imply that the maid might be of use in this inquiry?
11451Do you know this, little one? 11451 Do you lay great store by this evidence?"
11451Do you suspect a female hand, then?
11451Does this mean that I am a prisoner?
11451During the day?
11451During the journey, now, did you have any conversation with this Quadling?
11451English? 11451 Escaped how?
11451Except from time to time?
11451First,he continued, holding up the note- book,"do you know what this is?
11451For her service, I presume?
11451Had he any suspicion, do you think, as to who you were?
11451Have I done so, M. le Juge?
11451Have you known them long?
11451Have you never heard of the Roman bankers, Correse& Quadling?
11451Have you not noticed-- surely it can not have escaped so astute a police functionary-- that the entries are not all in the same handwriting?
11451How can I answer that? 11451 How can you answer for her?"
11451How could I? 11451 How did you know?"
11451How do we know he has told us truth? 11451 How do we know the woman examined thoroughly?"
11451How do you know she has gone?
11451How do you know?
11451How do you propose to send?
11451How long have you known her?
11451How often must I tell you to get on?
11451How was it? 11451 How was she dressed?"
11451I do not despair, gentlemen; and if I might make so bold, sir, I will ask you to assist? 11451 I do not wish to detain you further, although there may be points you might help us to elucidate if I might venture to still trespass on your time?"
11451I suppose they will not try to stop us?
11451I trust, madame, that you are equal to answering a few questions?
11451I? 11451 If you disbelieve me, why do you question me?"
11451In the car?
11451In what way?
11451Indeed? 11451 Is it not natural that we should?
11451Madame Dufour?
11451Madame has money?
11451May I look at it for myself?
11451May I not know those reasons?
11451May I not know?
11451May I offer one?
11451May I say one word? 11451 May it not have been dropped there on purpose?"
11451Meaning that if I do not, you will have resort to something stronger?
11451Must I?
11451No sound of voices raised high, no noise of a conflict, a struggle?
11451Nor see him?
11451Not at Laroche? 11451 Not at the Countess''s?"
11451Now this man, this poor man, had you noticed him at all? 11451 Of what character?"
11451Oh, indeed? 11451 On purpose to bring suspicion on the lady?"
11451On purpose?
11451Only to ask if the murderer was known; whether the passengers had been detained; whether there was any inquiry in progress; and then--"What then?
11451Pardon me, M. le Juge, but do you not give too much credibility to the porter? 11451 Perchance you sent her on to your hotel to warn your friends that you were detained?
11451Pretty?
11451Quadling-- Quadling? 11451 Really?
11451Retired?
11451Returned? 11451 Ripaldi?
11451Ripaldi?
11451She did not come to you at Laroche?
11451Some one determined to divert suspicion from himself to others--"But stay-- does he not plainly confess his own guilt?
11451Surely not that? 11451 Surely you can see what follows-- what this leads us to?"
11451Tell me,said the Chief,"quick, this woman-- what was she like?
11451That also has reached you, then?
11451That reason--?
11451That was the one with berths 11 and 12?
11451That? 11451 The Colonel is now in the Chancery: will not monsieur wait?"
11451The Countess? 11451 The Countess?"
11451The Italian? 11451 The dead man included?
11451The maid knew something?
11451The passengers have been detained?
11451The train stopped?
11451Then how could the beads get there? 11451 Then how explain the finding of the vial near the porter''s seat?"
11451Then she has not been long in your service?
11451Then this, madame, is yours?
11451Then why did n''t he go himself, or call some one? 11451 To have run away, in fact?"
11451To share his fallen fortunes?
11451Was he a suspicious character, then? 11451 Was her veil down?"
11451Was it Quadling? 11451 Was not that in itself suspicious?
11451We might, indeed we ought to have more evidence, more definite evidence, perhaps?
11451Well recommended?
11451Well, among your acquaintances-- he would probably have made himself known to you?
11451Well, do you still deny? 11451 Well, then, what if the Countess took him the second drink?"
11451Well, well, this maid-- what was she like?
11451Well?
11451What can have become of her?
11451What did you conclude from this? 11451 What did your woman do?"
11451What do you imply?
11451What does this mean? 11451 What have we against her?"
11451What is it?
11451What is it?
11451What is the matter?
11451What matter if he is not Ripaldi? 11451 What of that Italian?"
11451What say you?
11451What shall we do with her?
11451What shall_ I_ do? 11451 What''s all this?
11451What''s that?
11451What, all of you? 11451 When and how did you become possessed of it?"
11451When did you see the lady''s maid last?
11451When was that?
11451Where has her mistress gone?
11451Where she received her own friends?
11451Where''s my man?
11451Where? 11451 Where?
11451Where? 11451 Who and what are you?"
11451Who could have told her? 11451 Who else could be concerned?
11451Who else?
11451Who else?
11451Who is to go? 11451 Who rang the bell, then?"
11451Who saw her? 11451 Who saw her?"
11451Who should try?
11451Who were they? 11451 Who would want to leave it?"
11451Who, then? 11451 Whom do you mean?
11451Why did you not arrest him?
11451Why did you not discover the change of identity? 11451 Why has no one told us that?"
11451Why not utilize this man? 11451 Why not?"
11451Why should I?
11451Why should he? 11451 Why should n''t we?
11451Why, are we likely to be detained? 11451 Why, in God''s name, do you still harp upon the woman?
11451Why, man, ca n''t you see? 11451 Why_ now?_""Have n''t you heard?
11451Why_ now?_"Have n''t you heard? 11451 Will you give me the right to shelter and protect you, to stand by you, share your troubles, or keep them from you--?"
11451Would M. le Juge like me to go in search of her? 11451 Yes; but why by the Countess?
11451You admit, then, that there is a difference?
11451You are known there?
11451You call yourself General Collingham?
11451You can give me the names of the passengers?
11451You had heard of it, then? 11451 You have connived at the escape of a criminal from justice--""That lady?
11451You have, of course, examined the exterior of the car, dear colleague?
11451You informed your superiors, I suppose?
11451You know her-- spoke to her?
11451You noticed the open window, then?
11451You saw him, I suppose, at the restaurants?
11451You went off to sleep at once? 11451 You were in Rome, then, some time back?
11451You would not make yourself known, of course? 11451 _ Peste!_ Why were we not told this sooner?"
114519 and 10?"
11451A criminal?"
11451A woman climb out like that?
11451Am I not right?
11451An accusation against that lady?
11451And by whom?
11451And did she reserve her favours exclusively for him?
11451And her name, age, place of birth?"
11451And here are my credentials, my official card, some official letters--""And what, in a word, have you to tell us?"
11451And if I do not meet with the maid at the hotel, I may have to look further, in which case Monsieur-- Block?
11451And now tell us-- what does it contain?
11451And now, if you will permit me to proceed?"
11451And now, where is your train card?"
11451And that was the last you saw of him?"
11451And the next, 9 and 10?"
11451And yet, what, after all, did it matter to him?
11451And you-- you have no more questions to ask?
11451Any mistake?
11451Are we to infer that she knew the Italian?"
11451Are you always like this?"
11451Are you sure?"
11451Are you sure?"
11451As to the other matter, M. le General?"
11451At last I discovered he had taken a back seat, through modesty perhaps, or to be out of observation-- how was I to know?
11451But escape from whom?
11451But have I not her also?
11451But he must have had a second dose, or why was the vial found on the ground by his seat?"
11451But my brother?
11451But she came a little too often, and I was compelled to protest, to speak to Madame la Comtesse--""She was a countess, then?"
11451But then, quick to excuse, he suggested:"You may have already heard?"
11451But then, supposing that the maid had taken herself off of her own accord?
11451But then, who was to tell he meant to run away?"
11451But there, why not put on your jacket and let us go out to lunch somewhere-- Durand''s, Voisin''s, the Café de le Paix?
11451But what-- what in Heaven''s name has he to do with you?
11451But who?
11451CHAPTER IX"What next?"
11451Can you form any idea?
11451Can you offer any explanation of that?"
11451Come into the office; come, I say, or must we use force?"
11451Could I work him?
11451Could either of them have struck the fatal blow?
11451Could you eat a mouthful, just a scrap on the thumb- nail?
11451Could you?''"
11451Devaux?"
11451Did any embark on the road?"
11451Did he not tell me at first he had not seen this maid after Amberieux at 8 P.M.?
11451Did he speak to her?
11451Did he, the person with Block here, see her?"
11451Did n''t they tell you?
11451Did no one else address her, pay her court on the quiet-- you understand?"
11451Did she appear to know what had happened?
11451Did the Countess know of this disappearance?
11451Did you assist?
11451Did you ever come across a man there, Quadling, the banker?"
11451Did you get her description?"
11451Did you notice her at all?
11451Did you often meet among them a Signor-- Quadling?"
11451Did you speak to him, or he to you?"
11451Did you?"
11451Dinner and a theatre-- what do you say?"
11451Do you hear?"
11451Do you know him?
11451Do you know that language, M. le Juge?"
11451Do you mean the Countess of that name, who was a passenger in the sleeper?"
11451Do you object?"
11451Floçon?"
11451For how many was the car?"
11451From within?
11451Galipaud?"
11451Gone, now, just when we most want him?
11451Had she heard of the murder?"
11451Has fear dazed her entirely?
11451Have I not said so?
11451Have n''t I heard the name?
11451Have you anything further to tell us?"
11451Have you anything to say to us?
11451Have you arrested her-- or what?"
11451Have you ever seen it before?"
11451Have you looked at it?"
11451He did not like it at all; yet what could he do?
11451He never spoke to you, nor you to him?"
11451He returned to Sir Charles, asking,"You will promise that, sir?"
11451He was one of those in the sleeping- car, I think?
11451Here, at once?"
11451Here, now, is that right?"
11451Here?
11451His overcoat, stick, this book-- his own private memorandum- book seemingly--""Book?
11451How can I explain it?
11451How can you explain-- how can you reconcile that?"
11451How can you?
11451How comes it that she is with that Italian fellow?
11451How comes so great a lady into the hands of Mother Tontaine?
11451How could I bring myself to do it?
11451How dare you, sir?"
11451How do we know that positively?"
11451How does he dare to send you such an impudent message as this?
11451How many more?
11451How shall we meet inquiry?
11451How was it administered-- by whom?
11451How?"
11451How?"
11451I am so afraid he might--""Then I may go with you?
11451I have not seen her since--""Since?"
11451I mean in 7 and 8?"
11451I presume you would wish to be present at the rest of the interrogatories?"
11451I suppose he can go, Jack?"
11451I understand,"said the Judge, after fingering a few pages of the dispositions in front of him,"that you are a friend of the Contessa di Castagneto?
11451If my suspicions were confirmed--""What suspicions?"
11451If so, of what?
11451If so, why wait to speak till now?"
11451If the maid was afraid, why was she afraid?
11451If you want me, mind you send--207 Rue Miromesnil, or to the Embassy; but let us arrange to meet this evening, eh?
11451If you would give orders direct from the Prefecture to make the round of the cab- stands, to ask of all the agents in charge the information we need?
11451In custody?"
11451In what connection?"
11451In what direction do you propose to begin?"
11451In what way?"
11451In_ c_, two berths, 7 and 8?"
11451Is it not strongly, conclusively incriminating?"
11451Is it so?
11451Is she here, in custody?
11451Is that what you pretend?"
11451Is there anything fresh?"
11451Is there anything we can do for her?"
11451It does not much matter, still it is odd, and for your sake we should like to help you to find her, if you do wish to find her?"
11451It had been-- But how had it come here, into the possession of this base myrmidon of the French police?
11451It is very prosaic of me, perhaps, but do you know that I am nearly starved?
11451It is your maid, is it not-- the woman who had taken herself off?
11451It was a good offer, the man knew her appearance, he was in possession of all the facts, he could be trusted--"Ah, but can he, though?"
11451It will be worth his while to buy me off, if I''m ready to sell myself, and my duty, and the Prefettura-- and why should n''t I?
11451Know what?
11451Let him be searched; thoroughly, you understand, La Pêche?
11451Look as near as you like, and say is it yours?"
11451Madame?
11451Might not the Countess have wished to be dissociated from the maid, and therefore have affected complete ignorance of her flight?
11451My name is Hortense Petitpré; who are you?
11451No?
11451No?
11451Not in my berth?"
11451Not only was the handle turned, but the door partly opened--""It was not the porter?"
11451Nothing, I can swear to that, and you will not forget Mother Tontaine?"
11451Now next door to your compartment-- do you know who was next door?
11451Now one of them has escaped, and the other-- she is here, so cold- blooded, so self- possessed and quiet-- who would have thought it of her?
11451Now surely you will come over to our side?"
11451Now, last night, did you hear anything strange in the car, more particularly in the adjoining compartment?"
11451Now,_ b_, with berths 5 and 6. Who was there?"
11451Of course she must know him; then why--?
11451Oh, shall I ever forget her?
11451Or did you think nothing of it?"
11451Perhaps madame would like to look at them, and move?"
11451Perhaps you can read that language?
11451Please tell me-- am I not right?"
11451Positively?
11451Preparing for a start?
11451Put herself into the power of this greedy and unscrupulous old beldame?
11451Remember, we have means to make you--""Will you interrogate him further, M. Beaumont le Hardi?
11451Shall I ever have such a chance again?
11451Shall I try him?
11451Shall we see him, M. le Juge?"
11451She did not come on board to stay, for the last stage, when her mistress would be getting up, dressing, and likely to require her?"
11451Since when was this?
11451Sleeping?"
11451Sound asleep?
11451Stay, can I have a private room close to the other-- where the prisoners, those held on suspicion, are?
11451Stay, what can be going on in there?"
11451Still they would hardly dare--""A detective?
11451Suppose we are wrong?
11451Surely, Sabine, you will tell me?
11451Surely, to oblige me, you will now set her free?"
11451Tender?
11451That fire- eating Sir Collingham?"
11451That is, if you have no more questions to ask, no wish to detain me further?"
11451That surely is sufficient, M. le Juge?"
11451That too, sir, you will of course undertake?"
11451The body from the Lyons Station--he of the murder in the sleeping- car-- is it yet arrived?"
11451The clergyman?
11451The maid?
11451The murdered man?"
11451The murderer?
11451The porter?
11451Then I presume I may withdraw?"
11451Then she must know him, and unless an accomplice( if so, why run from him?
11451Then, if you will permit me, I will give the necessary orders, and perhaps you will inform the lady that she is free to leave the station?"
11451Then, turning to M. Beaumont le Hardi, the Chief went on pleasantly:"Well, M. le Juge, it promises, I think; it is all fairly satisfactory, eh?"
11451These two women only?
11451They were so intimate as that?
11451This lady-- she was alone?"
11451To fetch them, perhaps, to you in your trouble?"
11451True, but might that not be a blind?
11451Was he Roman?"
11451Was that the only occasion on which you saw him?
11451We entered the first restaurant, that of the''Reunited Friends,''you know it, perhaps, monsieur?
11451Well, 11 and 12?"
11451Were they all occupied?"
11451Were you present?
11451What are they after?
11451What are we to do?
11451What better can I do?
11451What caused it?"
11451What could she do?
11451What did it all mean?
11451What did you intend to do?"
11451What do you deduce?
11451What do you imply?
11451What do you infer therefrom?"
11451What do you mean?"
11451What do you wish me to do now?"
11451What guarantee have we of his loyalty, his good faith?
11451What had she done?
11451What have we gained?
11451What have we got?
11451What have we here, aha?"
11451What if he is also concerned in the crime-- has some guilty knowledge?
11451What if he killed Quadling himself, or was an accomplice before or after the fact?"
11451What if he takes to his heels?"
11451What in God''s name do you mean?"
11451What is this, my pretty princess?
11451What other woman could possibly have been in the car?
11451What say you, M. Floçon?
11451What say you?
11451What was he to do?
11451What, try to bribe a poor old woman, Mother Tontaine, honest and incorruptible Tontaine?
11451What?
11451When?"
11451Where did the rest come from?
11451Where did you get it?
11451Where do you keep it?
11451Where is the porter?
11451Where is your man?"
11451Where it comes from, where there is much more?
11451Where?
11451Which do you prefer?"
11451Who can resist you?"
11451Who do they think it is?"
11451Who else?
11451Who is Ripaldi?"
11451Who knows what they might not have been able to tell?"
11451Who knows?"
11451Who make up this curious throng, and what strange morbid motives drag them there?
11451Who opened that window, then, and why?
11451Who sends it?
11451Who shall say how a woman''s fancy falls?
11451Who would wish to masquerade in his dress and character, to make entries of that sort, as if under his hand?"
11451Whom do they say now?"
11451Why did they not keep him, then?"
11451Why did you not follow him?
11451Why had she done so?
11451Why had she leaned out?
11451Why in the name of all the devils have you withheld this most astonishing statement until now?"
11451Why let him out of your sight?"
11451Why not bring up cavalry and artillery, horse, foot, and guns?"
11451Why not upon the other also?"
11451Why should it be a woman more than a man?"
11451Why should not the book be believed?
11451Why should not the other be equally foolish?
11451Why should she run away?"
11451Why was it?
11451Why, what tempted me?
11451Will you gentlemen take it, and if you think fit, tell me what is there?
11451Will you tell us what was her height, figure, colour of eyes, hair, general appearance?"
11451Would you rather go back to-- to-- before?"
11451Yes?
11451Yet, you know?"
11451You are in authority, I presume?"
11451You are not a good sleeper, I believe, madame?"
11451You are sure?"
11451You asked for her, we sent for her, and--""Yes?"
11451You can tell me that?
11451You do not expect it, surely?
11451You do not object to that?"
11451You do not-- will not think any worse of me?"
11451You had never met him previously in Rome, where you resided?"
11451You have already sent to the British Embassy?"
11451You know that?
11451You quite understand that, my man?"
11451You will admit that I have a right to ask?"
11451You will not refuse your assistance, monsieur?"
11451_ La Rousse_?"
11451_ Santissima Donna!_ why did I not risk it, and climb out like the maid?
11451about 8 p.m.""Not this morning?"
11451and when was that?"
11451are you-- Can it be possible?"
11451from what?
11451he said, and in vague reply to a sudden strong suspicion, he went on:"What were you doing between Laroche and Paris?
11451how can I tell?
11451how shall I tell you?
11451how?"
11451what more?"
11451you would shadow her?"
10371''This is the new theatre that every one is talking about, is n''t it?'' 10371 ''What do you mean?''
10371''You''re going away?'' 10371 ''Your offer?''
10371A hundred pounds a week royalty, eh? 10371 A journalist?"
10371A little matter of what?
10371A manservant, eh? 10371 A serious affair?"
10371About me?
10371Am I late?
10371And afterwards?
10371And this gentleman? 10371 And what is that subject?"
10371And what''s that, booby?
10371Any fresh trouble?
10371Any lunch?
10371Any more stuff ready?
10371Anything I can do for you, sir, before your luggage comes on?
10371Are we going to work before we eat?
10371Are you a journalist?
10371Are you going to your rooms here, Betty? 10371 Are you quite sure?"
10371Bad conscience or drugs?
10371Because--?
10371Been playing in England?
10371Bribery no good, eh?
10371But Beatrice,he expostulated,"you do n''t think of staying out here, do you?
10371But afterwards?
10371But it is n''t always good for us, is it,she reminded her,"to live exactly as we would like, or to have our own way in all things?"
10371But supposing one had finished with business?
10371But surely,he almost stammered,"we have met before?"
10371But what could he discover?
10371But you are a manufacturer, are you not? 10371 But your personal feelings-- that is what I want to know about?"
10371But, Sylvanus,she expostulated,"what do you mean?...
10371But, dear,he protested,"do n''t you see?
10371Ca n''t you come round and see us this morning?
10371Ca n''t you understand that by the way people notice you?
10371Can I bring you any breakfast, sir?
10371Can I buy you, I wonder, or threaten you?
10371Clerk, were you?
10371Coming over to learn a thing or two from us, eh?
10371Could I have just a word with you?
10371Could n''t we go into the library? 10371 Did you drag your Mona wholly from your brain, or has she her prototype somewhere in your world?"
10371Do n''t you think that, under the circumstances, I ought to give information to the British police?
10371Do n''t you understand?
10371Do n''t you understand?
10371Do n''t you want her to be happy?
10371Do you continue, may I ask, to be Douglas Romilly, the manufacturer?
10371Do you know anything that I do n''t?
10371Do you like it?
10371Do you live in the building?
10371Do you mind telling John he need n''t wait for me?
10371Do you really wish to work?
10371Do you remember how glad I was to see you? 10371 Do you remember last night talking about subjects for cinema plays?
10371Do you remember we used to talk about the doctrine of responsibility? 10371 Do you swear that you are Douglas Romilly?"
10371Do you think it''s for your help that I''ve thought of you? 10371 Do you think, then,"she asked quietly,"that you needed to come and ask my advice?"
10371Do you think,he asked,"that it is possible to make that sort of bargain with one''s self and fate?"
10371Does any one, I wonder, go about the world telling everybody what they really are, how they really live? 10371 Does he think we are going to sit up for it?"
10371Does it run to coffee?
10371Does she want to marry you?
10371Done much visiting around?
10371Down in number 110, eh?
10371Elizabeth Dalstan?
10371First trip, eh?
10371For a speculation?
10371For the present I''ll wish you both good morning-- or shall I say an revoir?
10371Frighten you?
10371From him?
10371Gossip?
10371Got you in, did n''t I?
10371Has anything happened?
10371Has that girl kept you out till now?
10371Have I got to eat the corn like that man opposite?
10371Have I? 10371 Have a cigarette?"
10371Have one?
10371Have you anything to ask me?
10371Have you been drinking?
10371Have you been in that chair ever since?
10371Have you been to this place yourself?
10371Have you come into money, then?
10371Have you had your breakfast?
10371Have you only just come in?
10371He seems to have got hold of the idea all right, does n''t he?
10371He wanted-- to marry you?
10371His box?
10371Home,he told the man,"unless,"he added, turning to Philip,"you''d rather go to your rooms?"
10371How can I drag you through it all? 10371 How can you afford to live in a place like this, then?"
10371How could you know anything? 10371 How do you want me to answer that?"
10371How many times a day did you have to do this?
10371How much a week was it?
10371How much better off would you be there, I wonder, and what about when you came out? 10371 How much do you want to spend?"
10371How much does she know about you?
10371Hullo? 10371 I am silly,"she faltered,"but the servants and everything-- they wo n''t come back, will they?"
10371I could go as I am, I suppose?
10371I do n''t think there was ever much question of our being in love with one another, was there? 10371 I do n''t think you know a soul, do you?"
10371I guess you''re not proposing to give me a supper out of charity, are you?
10371I have brought you all this way, then, to confront you with a stranger?
10371I have loved every minute of the last few days, but then we knew all the time, did n''t we, that it was just an interlude? 10371 I love them to applaud like that, and yet-- audiences do n''t really know, do they?
10371I suppose, if you were taking your dear Miss Dalstan out, you''d go to a different sort of place, eh?
10371I wonder whether you would?
10371I''d like to know who you are and what you think yourself to make a woman look like that?
10371I''ve saved a little,he explained, with a rather grim smile,"and I''ve-- well, shall we say come into some?"
10371If I am going like this,he expostulated,"why ca n''t you go as you are?
10371If she were your wife--?
10371If we are ever going to be,she went on softly,"why should n''t we be married quietly, as people are sometimes, and then tell every one afterwards?"
10371If you would n''t mind?
10371In case she rings you up, eh?
10371Is any one living here?
10371Is everything-- all right with her? 10371 Is it your voice, I wonder, that is so soothing, or just what you say?"
10371Is n''t that my affair, Philip?
10371Is one to understand,she asked, a little puzzled,"that you have had difficulties in your business?"
10371Is that Douglas Romilly? 10371 Is that girl going to be troublesome?"
10371Is that your cousin?
10371Is there any reason for her being quite so rude to me?
10371Is this Mr. Douglas Romilly,he enquired,"of the Romilly Shoe Company?
10371Is this Mr. Merton Ware?
10371Is this where you used to sit and write?
10371It would be more useful to you, would n''t it?
10371Just what do they say about Miss Dalstan and Mr. Sylvanus Power?
10371Like it? 10371 Look here,"he expostulated,"are we going to do a wrestling act on the sidewalk?
10371Look here,she faltered,"if you are Philip Romilly, where''s he-- Douglas?...
10371Looks a trifle grim, does n''t he?
10371Martha, do you know you''re the most obstinate, pig- headed, prejudiced, ill- tempered little beast I ever knew?
10371Mistook me for some one, did n''t he?
10371More than you did for me?
10371Mr. Douglas Romilly?
10371Never see them again?
10371No followers, eh?
10371Now do n''t you feel as though we were facing an adventure? 10371 Oh, Philip,"she whispered,"ca n''t you forget that you have ever been a school- teacher, dear?
10371Oh, my dear Philip,she sighed,"you really do n''t know what makes that girl so uncouth?"
10371On your honour?
10371Ought it?
10371Pays his bill in American money, I suppose?
10371Philip,she asked quietly,"has this Elizabeth Dalstan been letting you make love to her?"
10371Philip,she whispered,"it''s true, is n''t it?
10371Prevented it?
10371Remember that what you did... well, in a way it was for my sake, was n''t it?--for love of me? 10371 Remember what?
10371Say, where did you come from?
10371Say, where is Sylvanus Power these days?
10371Say, you mean that straight?
10371Say,the young man enquired,"did n''t I meet you on the_ Elletania_?
10371Shall I change my abode?
10371Shall I have the privilege of your personal surveillance?
10371Shall I open the wine?
10371Shall I read it?
10371Shall I tell you why, really?
10371Shall you be changing to- night, sir?
10371Should you be horrified if I told that I had?
10371Sickening job, ai n''t it, writing for the stage unless you''ve got some sort of pull?
10371So I was at the Waldorf, was I?
10371So I''ve found you, have I, Douglas?
10371So now, Mr. Dane,she jeered,"what about your little errand?
10371So that''s the way you give yourself away, is it? 10371 So that,"she remarked,"is where you get your pseudonym from?"
10371So you do take her out, do you?
10371So you do typing, eh? 10371 So you know what I''ve come here to talk about, young man?"
10371So you were there last night?
10371Something to do with boots and shoes, is n''t it?
10371Sorry for herself?
10371Sorry for me? 10371 Spoil your clothes some, would n''t it?"
10371Still ready to swear that you''re not Douglas Romilly, I suppose?
10371Story writer?
10371Supposing one wanted to develop tastes and a gift for another method of life?
10371Sure you wo n''t join us, Lawton?
10371Telephone, will you? 10371 Tell me at once why?"
10371Tell me exactly how much of Douglas''money you have spent?
10371Tell me exactly what it is you want?
10371Tell me how you found me out?
10371Tell me what theatre that is across the way?
10371Tell me why you came out there looking as though you''d seen a ghost?
10371Tell me, Miss Grimes, is everything to eat in America as good as this fish?
10371Tell me, are they literary?
10371Tell me, are you in the habit of becoming suddenly dependent upon people?
10371Tell me,he exclaimed,"why were all my first impressions of you wrong?
10371Tell me,he insisted,"last night?
10371Tell me? 10371 That does n''t really matter, does it?"
10371That rather depends upon what it is you want from me?
10371That so?
10371That so?
10371That so?
10371That''s a man''s action, is n''t it? 10371 Then why did n''t he-- why did n''t he do something?"
10371They are waiting supper for us, but I was n''t going to let Philip--"Did you know that Dane was going to be here?
10371They''re delightful, every one of them,she agreed,"but, Mr. Fink, you have such influence with them, I wonder if I dare give you just a hint?
10371This is like one of our fairy stories of the old days, is n''t it?
10371To speak with me?
10371To whom am I speaking?
10371Two hundred?
10371Typewriting department?
10371Waiting for one of our gals, eh?
10371Was it Jim?
10371Was that Jim Spender going up to see his barmaid again?
10371Watching me?
10371We have n''t met before, have we, Mr. Romilly? 10371 We may look for the pleasure of another visit from you, then?"
10371Well, what did she tell him?
10371Well, what did you tell Mr. Felix Martin?
10371Well, what does he suspect?
10371Well,he asked,"what are you going to say to Dane?"
10371Well?
10371Well?
10371Well?
10371Well?
10371Well?
10371What about luncheon? 10371 What about the man Dane?"
10371What about the twenty thousand pounds?
10371What about threats? 10371 What about your own?"
10371What business is it of his?
10371What did you do there?
10371What did you do?
10371What do I care who your are?
10371What do you mean?
10371What do you think, Miss Dalstan?
10371What do you want with me?
10371What do you want?
10371What does it mean, Beatrice?
10371What does it mean?
10371What friends have I in England?
10371What happened afterwards?
10371What is Dane going to do?
10371What is it? 10371 What of, I wonder?"
10371What sort of a man are you, anyway?
10371What the mischief is a last?
10371What time does the boat sail?
10371What time is it?
10371What''s gone wrong?
10371What''s that? 10371 What, all this?"
10371Whatever are you doing back in the slums?
10371When did you have your lunch?
10371When did you write this?
10371Where does your money come from?
10371Where have you been?
10371Where is she now?
10371Where to?
10371Where''s Douglas?
10371Where''s Martha?
10371Where''s your father to- day?
10371Who''s that?
10371Why did you do that?
10371Why do n''t you come and join us, too? 10371 Why do n''t you speak and get it over?
10371Why not lay this interesting theory of yours before the authorities at Scotland Yard?
10371Why not, Mr. Romilly? 10371 Why not?
10371Why not?
10371Why not?
10371Why not?
10371Why?
10371Why?
10371Wo n''t you sit down for a moment?
10371Wo n''t you take a cocktail, sir, while you are waiting?
10371Wonder what he wants down here? 10371 Would it be very bad if it came?"
10371Would you help me, I wonder?
10371Would you like to go to a theatre?
10371Yes,she confessed,"I, too, had my-- my what shall I call it-- fear?--my ghost in the background?"
10371Yes? 10371 Yes?"
10371Yes?
10371Yes?... 10371 You Mr. Merton Ware?"
10371You are Mr. Romilly, are n''t you?
10371You are happy?
10371You are not thinking of moving, are you, Miss Grimes?
10371You are speaking of yourself?
10371You are very chivalrous, are n''t you? 10371 You came with the idea, did you not, that-- you would find Mr. Douglas Romilly?"
10371You can remember my name, then? 10371 You come from the West, do n''t you?"
10371You could n''t loathe me, could you?
10371You deny, then, that you are Mr. Philip Romilly?
10371You do n''t think I am ungrateful?
10371You do n''t want even to take a chair in my house, I suppose,Mr. Sylvanus Power went on mockingly,"or drink my whisky or smoke my cigars, eh?"
10371You do n''t want to film us before we''ve finished its first run, surely?
10371You do not believe, then, that they will find anything-- interesting?
10371You get out first, do n''t you? 10371 You have brought them with you?"
10371You have n''t drawn the money yet, then?
10371You have nothing to tell me?
10371You know what this means, Elizabeth?
10371You know,she asked, her voice still very low,"why I left the saloon a little abruptly this evening?"
10371You mean Martha? 10371 You mean,"he protested,"that you can not identify this gentleman-- that you do n''t recognise him as Mr. Douglas Romilly?"
10371You mentioned the fact, did you not,the lady who called herself Miss Pinsent observed,"that it was raining heavily at the time?
10371You must come and see me, wo n''t you, Miss Wenderley? 10371 You must remember-- why, what''s the matter with you, Felix?"
10371You must tell me how much you want to spend, then?
10371You refuse me?
10371You think I''ve never had a young man, eh? 10371 You use all our machinery, do n''t you?
10371You want me to marry you?
10371You went on?
10371You were n''t going to give him away?
10371You were there with a typewriter?
10371You were very angry, I suppose?
10371You wo n''t turn around afterwards and expect a lot of soft sawder because you''ve bought me a meal?
10371You would n''t care to tell us a little about your future intentions?
10371You''d have been with her to- night, perhaps, if I had n''t been here?
10371You''ll be waiting for the work at nine o''clock to- morrow morning?
10371You''re a hopeful young person, are n''t you?
10371You''re not afraid of me, by any chance, are you?
10371You''re not going? 10371 You''re not much of a pal, are you?"
10371You''ve never been afraid that I should want to make love to you, have you?
10371Your father''s the Busby Iron Works, is n''t he?
10371''This is for me to make myself look smart enough for your theatre, I suppose?''
10371''Would you like to see inside?''
10371A month or so ago who were you?
10371A stranger, Miss Wenderley?
10371Am I right?"
10371An Englishman, eh?"
10371And as to friends,"she whispered, looking up at him with a little provocative gleam in her eyes,"do n''t you count?
10371And would you like something in advance?"
10371And, after all, it is a woman''s gift, is n''t it?"
10371Are n''t you Mr. Douglas Romilly?"
10371Are n''t you afraid?
10371Are n''t you terrified?
10371Are you a faithful person?
10371Are you a ghost?"
10371Are you afraid of the naked words?
10371Are you coming to get my chair for me, Mr. Greene, or must I rely upon the deck steward?"
10371Are you conscientious?
10371Are you content?
10371Are you going back to England at once?"
10371Are you going to get it back for me?"
10371Are you going to give me back my money, Philip?"
10371Are you going to take just the things that are given you in life, and make no return?
10371Are you scared?"
10371Are you waiting to clothe your phrases?
10371At what time?"
10371Author?
10371Been to sleep, either of you?"
10371But if you are going to be my friend--""Well?"
10371But-- have you ever been jealous?"
10371Ca n''t you do what I am going to do, Philip?
10371Ca n''t you draw down that curtain?"
10371Ca n''t you leave me alone until they come from England?"
10371Ca n''t you realise the black, abominable horror of it?
10371Ca n''t you realise the dramatic interest of the situation now that you are confronted with this case of disappearance?
10371Ca n''t you see that it''s puling cowardice to grumble at the price?"
10371Ca n''t you see this thing as I see it?
10371Ca n''t you speak to me?
10371Ca n''t you take my parole?
10371Can I have my luggage sent there direct?"
10371Can you be content with silence for a little time?"
10371Crossed many times, sir?"
10371Dare I hold you to your word, Elizabeth?
10371Did n''t London agree with you?"
10371Did you see Stella''s coat?
10371Do n''t you realise that there is just one word I still need, one little word to crown all that you have said?"
10371Do n''t you see, Philip?...
10371Do n''t you want your reward?"
10371Do you hear that?
10371Do you hear?
10371Do you know that I am watched, day by day?
10371Do you know what I have come for?"
10371Do you know why?"
10371Do you see?"
10371Do you think I am, Philip?"
10371Do you think, Miss Dalstan, that your country is a good place for one to visit who seeks new things?"
10371Do you want me to go on?"
10371Everything has gone well?"
10371For how long?
10371For me what was there?
10371Had them in water since last night, have n''t you?"
10371Have I the pleasure of speaking to Mr. Douglas Romilly?"
10371Have you a heart, I wonder?
10371Have you any papers with you-- for identification, I mean?"
10371Have you brought the paper and pencil you spoke of?
10371Have you ever bought a woman''s hat, Philip?"
10371Have you ordered any wine, Philip?
10371He has discovered Mr. Raymond Greene.... Tell me, why do you look so white and unhappy?"
10371He must be dead if you say so, but he does n''t look it, does he?"
10371He was conscious of a mysterious and unfamiliar perfume, perhaps from the violets half hidden in her furs, or was it something in her hair?
10371How am I going to get you out of the way?"
10371How could I write in any other way except through the darkened spectacles?
10371How do you suppose I have lived here these last three years, a teacher in the national schools?
10371How long a trip do you intend to make, anyway?
10371How long will it be before they are out from the typewriting department?"
10371How much do you get to eat and drink out of that?
10371How much is twenty thousand pounds in dollars, Philip?"
10371How much of the man is there underneath that strong frame of yours?
10371How we used to spend our holidays out in those dingy fields and hope and pray for better things some day?
10371How well had he known Elizabeth?
10371How would a fight suit you?"
10371I am taking a trip over to England to make a few enquiries round about the spot where this Mr. Douglas Romilly hails from-- Detton Magna, is n''t it?"
10371I am waiting to hear from you-- what would you have done in her place?"
10371I have been asking myself ever since I strolled up into the library before dinner and read this notice--''_What about the other man_?''"
10371I have crossed with you before, have n''t I, sir?"
10371I ought not to be hard on you, ought I?"
10371I say, ai n''t you afraid?"
10371I should be a fool to try, should n''t I?
10371I suppose she knew about that?"
10371I wondered whether it might have been any relation?"
10371If they would sometimes dust these steps-- but, after all, it does n''t matter to you now, does it?
10371If you are Philip Romilly alive, if it was n''t your body they found, where''s Douglas?"
10371If you were so sure of your facts, why did n''t you arrest me at once instead of just watching me?"
10371Is he alive, after all?"
10371Is she more likely to find them with me or with him?"
10371Is that you, Philip?"
10371Is there anywhere else in the world, I wonder?
10371Is there anywhere in the living world where one can throw off everything of the past, where one can take up a new life, and memory does n''t come?"
10371Is this the door?"
10371It is n''t in his beat?"
10371It is n''t you really?"
10371It is queer, is n''t it, how naturally you fall into the role?"
10371It was sent off from Detton Magna,--"Why did you not come as promised?
10371Just what were your feelings for Beatrice?"
10371Life''s good at your age-- better than when I found you, eh?"
10371Lock the door when I came to see you, because it was past eight o''clock, and not answer my letters?"
10371Look at me for a moment like a human being, ca n''t you?
10371Looks good inside, do n''t it?"
10371Martha, which is she to choose?"
10371Mr. Dane is going to be very disappointed when I tell him that I never saw you before in my life.... Do n''t you love the music?
10371Mr. Romilly, is n''t it?"
10371No idea why, I suppose?"
10371Nothing disturbing has happened to you at all, then?"
10371Now give me some money, do you hear?"
10371Philip, do you know I am starving?
10371Philip, what is it?"
10371Philip, what is the matter with me?
10371Philip, where''s Wall Street?
10371Power?"
10371Power?"
10371Power?"
10371Romilly?"
10371Romilly?"
10371Romilly?"
10371Romilly?"
10371Romilly?--the man who disappeared from the Waldorf?
10371Say, what I want to ask is-- do you think you''re properly grateful?"
10371See?"
10371Shall I tell you why?
10371She does n''t mean to make trouble?"
10371She''s a dear girl but a little shy, are n''t you, Hilda?"
10371So you''ve come for him, eh?"
10371Stand on your feet like a man and take your luck.... Can I take off my hat?
10371Surely you must admit that the coincidence is interesting?"
10371Sylvanus?...
10371Take a seat, wo n''t you, and chat with us a little longer?
10371Take this chair next mine for a few minutes, wo n''t you?
10371Tell me how it is that with all your success you have n''t been happy?"
10371Tell me how you are feeling, ca n''t you, Philip?
10371Tell me truthfully, do n''t you think it is very improbable that anything could be discovered?"
10371Tell me what you think of yourself, Mr. Philip Merton Ware?
10371Tell me why you went without coming near me?...
10371Tell me, am I still nice to look at?"
10371Tell me, have you anything particular to do?"
10371Tell us how you came to think of all this?
10371That makes you cringe, does n''t it?
10371That''s a new ending, is n''t it?"
10371The banks are closed now, I suppose?"
10371The clergyman, perhaps?
10371There was a certain ignominy in being sent about his business, just because this colossus from the West had appeared and claimed-- what?
10371Things are more expensive over here, are n''t they?"
10371This morning-- why, surely they are brown?"
10371Understand?"
10371Want to know everybody''s business, do n''t you?"
10371Ware?"
10371Ware?"
10371Was it true, that rumour he had once heard-- that the first step in her fortunes had been due to the caprice of a millionaire?
10371Was unhappiness so necessary, after all?
10371Well, what about that?"
10371Well, you must pay, do you see, and in my way?
10371Were you in the house tonight?"
10371What about it?
10371What am I to do?
10371What are you doing with yourself here all alone?"
10371What are you going to do with this play of yours?"
10371What are you here for?"
10371What can I do for you?"
10371What can they hope to find there in his place?"
10371What did it mean when Elizabeth told him she was engaged for to- night?
10371What do you mean by saying you''re not that sort?"
10371What do you think of him?"
10371What do you think?"
10371What do you want more than that?
10371What do you want with me?"
10371What had come to these men that they failed to recognise it?--to this slim young boy of an Englishman that he dared to defy him?
10371What happened when they came out?"
10371What has really happened, dear?
10371What have you got to say to me?"
10371What if we are seen together?"
10371What is it they pay you,"she went on contemptuously,"at that miserable art school of yours?
10371What made you take it for granted that I should n''t want to employ you, and go and hide yourself?
10371What might your output be in England per week?
10371What should you do if you were me, if you had the chance to get out of it all the way that she has?"
10371What sort of a machine do you use?"
10371What sort of clothes have you to wear?
10371What then?...
10371What time is it over?"
10371What''s the use of formulating a charge that they can never, never prove?"
10371What''s wrong with you?"
10371Where did you get your violets, Martha?
10371Where did you learn to write like that?"
10371Where did you meet Elizabeth Dalstan?"
10371Where did you meet her, and how did you get her to accept your play?"
10371Where was I to meet women when I did n''t even know men?
10371Where''s Douglas?"
10371Who else?
10371Who is he?"
10371Who produced it at the New York Theatre and acted in it so that people could n''t listen without a sob in their throats and a tingling all over?
10371Who took your play?
10371Who''s done it all?"
10371Who''s that?"
10371Why ca n''t you teach me to feel and think things like that?"
10371Why did n''t you let me know you were coming?"
10371Why do n''t you come along?"
10371Why do you come here to me in this very unofficial manner?
10371Why do you look at me as though I were a ghost?"
10371Why?
10371Why?
10371Will it be better for you now?"
10371Will you spare me half an hour if I come round?"
10371Wo n''t you take me there?"
10371Women''s shoes and misses'', is n''t it?"
10371You are crossing, are n''t you, on the_ Elletania_?"
10371You are happy, are n''t you?"
10371You are living at high pressure, are you not?
10371You are not by way of being in the Profession, are you?"
10371You are over here on business, we understand?"
10371You can understand, ca n''t you, just what your coming has meant for us?"
10371You chose to- night, did you?
10371You coming to see the show, Martha?"
10371You did n''t ever care really for that girl, did you?"
10371You do n''t mind?"
10371You do n''t think so?"
10371You have, however, I gather, nothing to say to me?"
10371You hear?"
10371You know Bob, do n''t you?"
10371You know the story you will have to tell?
10371You know why you came here?
10371You may have heard of me-- Raymond Greene?"
10371You promise?"
10371You read how wonderfully it has all turned out?
10371You see that, do n''t you?"
10371You think I did n''t care about Douglas?
10371You understand that?"
10371You were always so impressionable, were n''t you?
10371You will finish all that you have for him to- day, wo n''t you?"
10371You wo n''t disappoint me, will you?"
10371You wo n''t mind, will you, if I take him off now?"
10371You wo n''t, eh?
10371You would n''t care, I suppose,"he added, as they stood there with locked hands,"to offer us just a glass of wine before we start out?
10371You''d think a man could plunge in there and be lost, would n''t you?
10371You''ll forgive my not getting up, wo n''t you?
10371You''re English, ai n''t you?"
10371You''re afraid I am going to give you up to justice?
10371You''re not afraid of her?"
10371You''re not going like this?
10371You''re some driver, eh?
10371You''ve nothing to do, have you?"
10371You''ve placed yourself amongst the gods and your feet really are made of very sticky clay.... Shall I find my own way out?"
10371You?"
10371Your clothes-- am I mistaken about your clothes or are you dressed more expensively?"
10371he demanded--"simply marry you?
20494A little bit late, eh? 20494 A man?
20494A young man who was staying at the_ Grand_ till yesterday?
20494And did you actually see anything, Charles, the night you speak of?
20494And did you notice a marked change in him?
20494And do you say that because this man''s mother suffered from epilepsy the chances are that he is suffering from it?
20494And how came it that you ran so short of money that you had to leave the hotel?
20494And if both parents, or one of them, suffered from epilepsy, would there be a great risk of the children suffering from it?
20494And is your mother always secured in her room-- is the door always locked?
20494And nothing more was said on either side while Penreath was in the room?
20494And suppose he denies having done so? 20494 And was he a normal and healthy boy?"
20494And was that bedroom window open when you found the room empty?
20494And were they there when you looked out of the door?
20494And what about the real murderer?
20494And what about this other thing-- this_ furor epilepticus_, whatever it is?
20494And what did Ronald say to that?
20494And what is your theory as to the manner in which this crime was committed? 20494 And who do you think the other was?"
20494And why do you think he will confide them to you, when he refuses to divulge them to his professional adviser?
20494And you have strong grounds for believing that this young man Ronald, who was staying at the_ Grand_ till yesterday, is the murderer?
20494And your nerves were a bit rattled by the Zeppelin raid at Durrington, were they not?
20494Anyway, what does it matter? 20494 Are not two attacks in twenty- four hours unprecedented?"
20494Are you a man or a wizard?
20494Are you sure it was one of the knives you took upstairs last night?
20494As though he had something on his mind?
20494But are his symptoms consistent with the form of epilepsy known as petit mal, Sir Henry? 20494 But if you have had experience of this kind of thing, will you tell me if you have ever seen a man completely recover-- from shell- shock, I mean?"
20494But in spite of that you assume he knew exactly where this pit was situated?
20494But is he quite certain that the man who is supposed to have committed the murder is the young man who fainted yesterday morning?
20494But not longer-- he would not show symptoms for thirty- six hours?
20494But the wound slants in such a way as to prove that the blow was struck from left to right?
20494But what do you make of this?
20494But what was the use? 20494 But why did he do so?
20494But why have you come to me in the matter? 20494 But would such a careful deliberate murderer overlook the key when he returned?"
20494By the young lady?
20494Can you tell where the key of Mr. Glenthorpe''s room is kept?
20494Dead?
20494Did he look ill-- or strange?
20494Did he put it back in his pocket after lighting the candle?
20494Did he say where he had come from?
20494Did he use candles? 20494 Did he use that as well as the gas?"
20494Did the young gentleman seem at all excited during the time you saw him?
20494Did you ever see clearer footprints?
20494Did you find any symptom upon him which pointed to his having recently suffered from epilepsy of any kind?
20494Did you get him to fill in a registration form?
20494Did you hear any sound upstairs?
20494Did you never hear that th''pit''s haunted? 20494 Did you notice any symptoms of mental disturbance or irritability about him at any time?"
20494Did you notice anything strange about Mr. Ronald''s conduct when first he came to the inn or at any time?
20494Did you notice the time then?
20494Did you or the servant find any weapon in Mr. Glenthorpe''s room?
20494Did you put your boots out to be cleaned before you went to bed?
20494Did you see him when he returned home recently?
20494Did you tell them this in front of Galloway?
20494Did your mother have an attack then?
20494Do Benson and Charles both believe in the ghost?
20494Do nobody else but you and Charles sleep downstairs?
20494Do the descriptions tally in every respect?
20494Do you agree with Sir Henry Durwood that between attacks of epilepsy the patient would exhibit no signs of the disease?
20494Do you mean Mr. Cromering, from Norwich?
20494Do you mean to get the weapon for another, possibly quite innocent purpose, and then use it for an act of violence?
20494Do you mean to say that you leave this poor mad woman in her bedroom all night alone?
20494Do you not see that they are different kinds of candle- grease? 20494 Do you propose to go any further with your investigations?"
20494Do you remember when you lost the rubber heel of one of them?
20494Do you suggest that shell- shock leads to epilepsy?
20494Do you think that I want to be saved-- like that?
20494Do you think that I would want to save you at her expense? 20494 Does not recollection return completely in attacks of petit mal?"
20494Does not that suggest a rather unusual knowledge of human anatomy on the murderer''s part?
20494Durwood? 20494 For what purpose?"
20494For what purpose?
20494Going to be rather wet for a fishing excursion, is n''t it?
20494Had you ever seen him before?
20494Has Penreath ever shown any previous signs of epilepsy?
20494Has he been positively identified?
20494Has he previously refused to appeal?
20494Have n''t you eyes in your head, Willsden? 20494 Have you discovered anything, since you have been at the inn, which shakes the theory that Ronald is the murderer?"
20494Have you ever seen any signs of epilepsy in Lady Penreath''s son-- the prisoner at the bar?
20494Have you ever seen this box before, Charles?
20494Have you made any inquiries about umbrellas?
20494Have you noticed that?
20494He seemed quite sane and rational?
20494Here''s another point: why did not Ronald, having disposed of the body, disappear at once, instead of waiting for the morning?
20494How can I thank you for all you have done?
20494How deep is the pit?
20494How did you get down the pit?
20494How did you get into the room? 20494 How did you know they were his initials?
20494How did you learn all this?
20494How do you feel now?
20494How do you fix it so accurately as that?
20494How do you know that?
20494How do you know that?
20494How do you make that out?
20494How do you manage to communicate with him if he is stone deaf?
20494How do you propose to proceed when we get there?
20494How do you recognise it?
20494How does that constitute a second motive?
20494How long after Peggy left the room was it before the body was removed?
20494How long does it usually take for a man to recover from an attack of epilepsy?
20494How long has it been there?
20494How many witnesses do you propose to call?
20494How often do these attacks of petit mal occur?
20494How often does she have paroxysms of violent madness?
20494How should I know, sir?
20494How was he dressed?
20494How was this door fastened last night?
20494How?
20494How?
20494I presume this murderous young ruffian has been secured?
20494I say, you fellows, what do you think has happened? 20494 I suppose you never saw it before, eh?"
20494I thowt''ow''twas agreed''tween us I wor to tell the gentleman, bor?
20494In order to conceal the crime?
20494In your opinion epilepsy is an hereditary disease?
20494Is Mr. Penreath innocent?
20494Is epilepsy an hereditary disease?
20494Is everything all right?
20494Is it customary for waiters to listen to everything that is said when they are waiting at table?
20494Is it true that the White Lady has been seen since Mr. Glenthorpe was murdered?
20494Is it your intention to plead mental incapacity at the trial?
20494Is she ever allowed out of the room?
20494Is that the case?
20494Is that you, Queensmead?
20494Is the umbrella still missing?
20494Is there anything else I can do?
20494Is this the only back outlet from the inn?
20494It had better be at once, had it not? 20494 It is easy to see, Sir Henry, that the wound was made by a thin- bladed knife, but why do you think it was also round- headed?"
20494It is possible for shell- shock alone to lead to a subsequent attack of insanity?
20494Man, how did you find that out?
20494May I ask on what grounds you are seeking permission to appeal?
20494May I take it that there was nothing terrifying in his behaviour-- nothing to indicate that he was not in his right mind?
20494Might it not have been a sharp- pointed one?
20494Miss Willoughby did not see him alone, then?
20494Miss Willoughby identified him, then?
20494Mr. Penreath has been in the Army, then?
20494Must I tell you that?
20494My good friend,he said,"do you think it is wise for you to descend?
20494No, do you?
20494Nor hid it in the pit?
20494Nothing?
20494Now, where did you conceal the money?
20494On what grounds? 20494 Or even a dagger?"
20494Shall I go and get your bag, sir?
20494Shall I help you, Sir Henry? 20494 Shall we walk a little and you can tell me what you wish to say?"
20494Sit down, Charles-- do you understand me?
20494So that is your explanation?
20494Supposing it is true, what is to be done?
20494Surely you have not forgotten that the door was locked from inside? 20494 Surely you have not forgotten the piece of black material we found sticking on the nail outside the window?"
20494Surely,_ that_ was more than a mere coincidence?
20494Take his other arm, will you?
20494That does not alter your own opinion?
20494That greenery that grows inside the pit, by which you climbed down, will it support a heavy weight?
20494The door was not locked, though the key was in the door?
20494The weapon, then, entered the body in a lateral direction, that is, from left to right?
20494Then how do you account for the key being found in the outside of Mr. Glenthorpe''s door this morning?
20494Then how do you account for the shrieks?
20494Then how the deuce do you account for the water in the room?
20494Then who was it?
20494Then why does he not speak out, even now-- more so now than ever?
20494Then why have you sent for me?
20494Then you admit you have a second key?
20494Then you think there is some connection between the reappearance of the ghost and the hiding of the money in the pit it is supposed to haunt?
20494There was not much talk of the ghost before the murder, then?
20494Things are pretty bad with you, Benson?
20494To torture me?
20494Very small?
20494Was he under your care in his infancy and boyhood? 20494 Was he wounded?"
20494Was it Penreath who got out of the window?
20494Was it one of the knives sent up to the sitting- room last night?
20494Was it raining at that time?
20494Was it raining then?
20494Was this knife sharp?
20494Were you aware that the accused, when he went to see you at your aunt''s home before he departed for Norfolk, was very short of money?
20494What about the change?
20494What are you doing here?
20494What brought you back to the wood where you were arrested?
20494What did you do with the packet you removed?
20494What do you imagine my complaint, as you term it, to be?
20494What do you know?
20494What do you mean by Black Shuck? 20494 What do you mean by a thin, steel instrument?"
20494What do you mean by between the attacks?
20494What do you mean, sir, by blurting out a piece of news like this before a number of ladies?
20494What do you mean?
20494What do you mean?
20494What do you suppose I am suggesting?
20494What do you think is the matter with him-- shell- shock?
20494What do you think of this story?
20494What do you think they are?
20494What do you think would be the effect of shell- shock on a person born of one epileptic parent?
20494What do you want of me?
20494What has happened? 20494 What have you discovered?"
20494What if they did?
20494What is it you want?
20494What is it? 20494 What is that key doing in the door, on the outside?"
20494What makes you think so?
20494What money, sir?
20494What room is it going to be held in?
20494What sort of a knife?
20494What sort of facts?
20494What time does Mr. Benson come down?
20494What time was it when you turned off the gas the night before last?
20494What time was that?
20494What was her name?
20494What was it?
20494What was she like?
20494What was the nature of his illness?
20494What was the whole of your case against Penreath but a series of inferences?
20494What was there about the match- box that made you feel so certain?
20494What were you doing there?
20494What''s the matter with you, man?
20494What''s the road like to Heathfield, Galloway? 20494 When was the gas- globe smashed?
20494Where did you find this pocket- book?
20494Where does this passage lead to, Benson?
20494Where is Charles, Ann?
20494Where shall I begin?
20494Where''s Benson?
20494Who are you?
20494Who else but the murderer, sir?
20494Who gave you this information?
20494Who is sitting with her at present?
20494Who is this gentleman, and what''s the number of his room?
20494Who occupies this room?
20494Who told you this?
20494Who was it, Queensmead?
20494Who will look after the inn, with both you and Charles away?
20494Who''s there?
20494Why could n''t Charles have answered the bell himself, if he is in the kitchen? 20494 Why did Miss Willoughby greet her betrothed husband in that way, as though she were convinced of his guilt?
20494Why did you bring Mr. Colwyn here?
20494Why did you go to that trouble? 20494 Why did you leave it?
20494Why did you not do so?
20494Why did you not tell us this before?
20494Why did you not tell us this, Ann?
20494Why do n''t you take a smaller place?
20494Why not? 20494 Why not?"
20494Why not?
20494Why not?
20494Why should a young man of Ronald''s type leave his hotel and go across to this remote inn, and commit this brutal murder?
20494Why should he do such a foolish thing, sir?
20494Why should the accused hasten away from the inn if he retained no recollection of the events of the night?
20494Why, what''s the matter with it?
20494Why?
20494Will you and the other gentlemen take any refreshment, after your journey?
20494Will you not tell me why you kept silence about what you saw in Mr. Glenthorpe''s room that night of the murder?
20494Will you permit me to take a seat at your table?
20494Without being conscious of it?
20494Would an ordinary table- knife answer that description?
20494Would you be so kind as to step downstairs and inquire? 20494 Would you like to see the room where Ronald and Mr. Glenthorpe dined?"
20494You are aware he was discharged from the Army suffering from shell- shock?
20494You are not suggesting that the murderer threw a box out of the window?
20494You are quite certain the inn servant can swear that these marks were made by Ronald''s boots, Queensmead?
20494You are sure it was not twelve?
20494You are the famous American detective of that name?
20494You are the innkeeper-- the landlord of this place?
20494You attach no significance to the fact that the candle is a wax one?
20494You did that last night, as usual?
20494You feared he would attack one of the guests?
20494You got no letter from him?
20494You have arrived at that conclusion?
20494You have brought it with you?
20494You have heard of the White Lady of the Shrieking Pit?
20494You have known him before, then?
20494You have learnt this from Sir Henry, I presume?
20494You have missed a knife though, have you not?
20494You hear that question, Benson?
20494You heard the footsteps distinctly, then?
20494You mean I should search the wood again?
20494You mean that Penreath refuses to say anything?
20494You never leave her alone, then?
20494You regard the case as conclusive, then?
20494You say accused was moody and depressed when you saw him?
20494You say that he is guilty of murder, and that is the verdict of you all?
20494You still say that you heard nothing after you went to bed?
20494You think you can get up, eh? 20494 Your aunt took action to allay your anxiety, I understand?"
20494Yow be lookin''to see how t''owd ma''aster was hulled dune th''pit?
20494''What do''st a''mean, bor?''
20494Again, why should a man, getting from one window to another, bother about using an umbrella for a journey of a few feet only?
20494And if Penreath had not committed the murder, who had?
20494And if it is merely an attack of petit mal, why is he so long in recovering consciousness?"
20494And nobody noticed anything peculiar about him at the breakfast table except yourself and Sir Henry-- and what happened?
20494And now is that all you have to tell me about the gas?"
20494And now shall we visit Miss Willoughby?"
20494And that something else was the match- box-- is that not so?"
20494And what had Penreath done with the umbrella afterwards?
20494And what was he searching for?
20494And why did he subsequently go miles across country to a remote and wretched inn, where he had never been before, and beg for a bed for the night?
20494And, if he succeeded in establishing that supposition, might not Ronald have been one of the two persons, and the actual murderer?
20494Are you a judge of Pekingese, Mr. Colwyn?
20494Are you aware that it is war- time?
20494Are you sure it was a man?"
20494Brewer?"
20494But how came such a mark, designed exclusively for the protection of the Treasury against bank- note forgeries, to appear on a dirty scrap of paper?
20494But how far did they go?
20494But if my deduction about the matches was correct, how was it that his match- box was found in the murdered man''s room?
20494But it was in his previous indifferent tone that the young man added:"Have either of you a spirit flask?"
20494But that query always led to another one--_Could_ he have done more?
20494But what about the second person-- the person who had carried the wax candle and dropped spots of grease underneath the broken gas globe?
20494But what am I to do?
20494But what do you make out of the incident at the Grand Hotel, Durrington, yesterday morning?
20494But what else transpired during the interview?
20494But what has kept it going ever since?"
20494But, first, where shall we talk?"
20494Can I depend on you?"
20494Can not you see for yourself that this gentleman has merely had a fainting fit?"
20494Can you fix it definitely?"
20494Can you get some ropes, Queensmead?
20494Can you not fix it accurately?
20494Can you suggest anything?"
20494Colwyn?"
20494Colwyn?"
20494Colwyn?"
20494Colwyn?"
20494Colwyn?"
20494Could he have been mistaken?
20494Could he have committed this offence during another attack of_ furor epilepticus_ and recollect nothing about it afterwards?
20494Dick says to me, says''e,''S''posen it wor the chap who murdered owd Mr. Glenthorpe at the_ Anchor_?''
20494Did Ann know this, and keep it back, or was it turned on and off again without her knowledge?"
20494Did he speak about me?"
20494Did he tell you so himself?"
20494Did n''t I say that, Billy?"
20494Did n''t you know?
20494Did you hear anything in the night?"
20494Did you notice, sir, that there was no glassware in the room?
20494Did you say Durwood?"
20494Did you, or anybody else, ever see a clearer case?"
20494Do n''t you think Jellicoe a dear?"
20494Do you believe that Mr. Penreath is guilty?
20494Do you find the prisoner guilty or not guilty of wilful murder?"
20494Do you intend to commence before lunch?"
20494Do you know anything about him?
20494Do you think it suggests that Ronald has, well-- impulses of violence, let us say?"
20494Do you understand me?"
20494Do you understand?
20494Do you want it?
20494Doctor"--this to the tall thin man who had sat beside him in the run- about--"will you go upstairs with Queensmead and make your examination?
20494Does any one at the inn know of your visit to me to- day?
20494Does it seem strange to you that Ronald should have come straight to this inn and committed a murder after making that scene at the hotel?
20494Does it?"
20494Glenthorpe?"
20494God a''mercy, what''s that?"
20494Had he come in at a different time, and why?
20494Had the murder been committed from outside by a villager, or by somebody in the inn?
20494Haut or petit mal?"
20494Have the ladies asked you your opinion of the case?"
20494Have you anything to say for yourself why the Court should not give you judgment of death according to law?"
20494Have you had a new burner attached, Benson?"
20494Have you noticed much difference in his demeanour since he returned from the front?"
20494Have you seen him?
20494Have you spoken to him?
20494Have you?"
20494How could Mr. Penreath do such a shocking thing?
20494How could he tell her what she had so innocently done in recalling him to the inn?
20494How did Benson get into the room?
20494How did I get here?"
20494How did Penreath receive Miss Willoughby''s remark?"
20494How do you account for the cracked gas globe and the broken incandescent mantle?"
20494How inform her what the cost of saving her lover would be to her?
20494How is it, Benson, that the gas is laid on in only two of the rooms upstairs-- the rooms Mr. Glenthorpe used to occupy?
20494How many witnesses have you?"
20494How would he know the umbrella was in the lumber- room?"
20494I asked Charles for what purpose?
20494I mean were you called in to attend to his youthful ailments?"
20494I presume you can accommodate me, Benson?"
20494I suppose you are not afraid of the ghost?"
20494I thought you wanted him to help you?"
20494I thowt as much meself, but a''tried to laugh it off, and says to Dick,''What for should it be him?
20494If I had known----""You would have helped him-- is that what you were going to say?"
20494If Penreath had indeed committed the murder, who was the second visitor to the room?
20494If Ronald is the murderer, why did he take the trouble to enter the room from the outside when he slept in the next room?"
20494If Ronald were not guilty, why had he departed so hurriedly from the inn that morning?
20494If a man, charged with murder, refused to account for actions which pointed to him as the murderer, how could anybody help him?
20494In other words, will you give evidence in support of the defence at the trial?"
20494In the first place, how long is it since Mr. Penreath returned from the front, invalided out of the Army?"
20494In the first place, was Ronald''s explanation, about losing his way and wandering to the inn by chance, the true one?
20494Is he staying at the hotel alone?
20494Is it likely that he would have committed murder to obtain it?"
20494Is it not unusual for a person to reach the age of twenty- eight or thereabouts without showing any previous signs of a disease like epilepsy?"
20494Is it ready yet?"
20494Is she any relation of Black Shuck, the ghost dog you were telling me about?"
20494Is that a fact?"
20494Is that consistent?"
20494Is that what you mean by_ furor epilepticus_?"
20494It may be said that I should have taken a firmer hand with him yesterday, but what more could I have done?
20494It was because of what you saw afterwards that your suspicions were doubly fastened on the girl, is that not so?
20494It''s a Norfolk tradition or ghost story, is n''t it?
20494Last night?"
20494May I ask you to keep clear of the footprints?
20494May I ask, as you are a medical man, what you consider the nature of his illness?"
20494Middleheath?"
20494Middleheath?"
20494Money?
20494Next, how did Ronald, a stranger to the place, know the locality of this pit so accurately as to be able to walk straight to it?"
20494Now, imagine that umbrella stand-- would you mind moving away a little from it, sir?
20494Oakham?"
20494Oh, why did he kill Mr. Glenthorpe?
20494Penreath had looked through, and seen-- what?
20494Penreath''s hesitation, his silence-- what were they in the balance of probabilities in such a strange deep crime as this murder?
20494Ronald laid his plans well, but how was he to know that in his path to the pit he walked over soil as plastic and impressionable as wax?"
20494Shall I tell him you want him?"
20494She had told him the truth about her visit to the breakwater, but how much of the rest of her story was true?
20494Should he have done more?
20494So Dick says to me, says he,''Why not see the chap wot came into th''_ Anchor_ bar last night?
20494So who do you think broke that burner, Benson?"
20494Speaking as a medical man, I say that he should not be left alone, but if he orders us out of his room when he recovers his senses what are we to do?
20494The Penreath family is already under a debt of gratitude to you-- will you increase the obligation?
20494The jury answered to their names, and then the Clerk of Arraigns, in a sing- song voice, said:"Gentlemen, have you agreed upon your verdict?
20494The money came, the morning I was turned out of the hotel; I saw the letter in the rack, addressed to J. R. Penreath, but what good was that to me?
20494The murderer was carrying an umbrella-- and an open umbrella-- have you the piece of silk?
20494The poor girl looked up at him and exclaimed,''Oh, James, how could you?''
20494The question is, are you going to allow professional etiquette to stand in the way of proving his innocence?"
20494The question is, are you going to help me undo that wrong?"
20494The real point is, Mr. Colwyn, can you prove that it was not Mr. Penreath who placed the money in the pit?"
20494The treasury notes which Mr. Glenthorpe had drawn out of the bank the day he was murdered, which had never been found?
20494Then who was it?"
20494Upstairs?
20494Was is because you picked up the knife with which the murder was committed?
20494Was it possible that the sound he had heard had been caused by the door of the lumber room swinging to?
20494Was it started there?"
20494Was there something else that made you feel sure he was guilty of this crime?"
20494Were all these rooms destitute of furniture when you took over the inn?"
20494Were these the acts of a sane man?"
20494What could have happened to change the conditions so quickly?
20494What do they amount to?
20494What do you think, Galloway?"
20494What does he wait on, if not the bar parlour?"
20494What does she know about the case?"
20494What had happened in that room the night Ronald slept there?
20494What has happened in the Glenthorpe case?"
20494What have you discovered that makes you think otherwise?"
20494What have you found?"
20494What is it you want me to do?"
20494What is_ furor epilepticus_?"
20494What motive could he have?
20494What of them?"
20494What other reason could Penreath have except the consciousness of guilt, and the hope of escaping the consequences through a loop- hole of the law?
20494What proofs have you?"
20494What time will you reach here when you return?"
20494What was at the other end of the line, which dangled in the darkness of the pit?
20494What was the significance of the broken incandescent burner, the turned- on gas, and the faint mark under the window?
20494What would a man''s condition of mind be if, during an attack of petit mal, he committed an act of violence, say murder, for example?"
20494What''s that?
20494What''s the use of devising regulations for the security of the country if they are not carried out?
20494Whatever induced Mr. Penreath to do such a thing as to conceal his name?
20494When are you starting for Flegne, Galloway?"
20494When did you first meet him?"
20494Where is the body, Benson?"
20494Where''s that gentleman I was sitting with a few minutes ago?
20494Where''s the body?
20494Where''s the jury?
20494Who do you think broke it?"
20494Who do you think this chap Ronald turns out to be?
20494Who had come to that deserted wing of the inn in the small hours, and on what business?
20494Who has not heard of you, and your skill in the unravelling of crime?
20494Who knows who she may take next?"
20494Who turned on the tap, and who smashed the globe?
20494Who will come with me?"
20494Why did Benson leave the key in the outside of the door?
20494Why did you not burn it?"
20494Why did you not tell us you had a second key to Mr. Glenthorpe''s room?"
20494Why did you register in the name of James Ronald at the Durrington Hotel?"
20494Why had Charles believed-- or pretended to believe-- Benson''s story?
20494Why had he sought to light the gas, when he carried a candle?
20494Why had he-- as I subsequently ascertained-- left the room and gone downstairs to turn on the gas at the meter?
20494Why had she come to Durrington to see him?
20494Why not?
20494Why should a man, after writing a letter of appeal to his fiancà © e, decide not to send it and destroy it?
20494Why should he run away if he had no recollection of his act?"
20494Why were you so sure of that?
20494Will they kill him for that?
20494Will you answer one or two questions?"
20494Will you come with me?"
20494Will you please take this card to the chief constable and say that I should be glad of the favour of a short interview?
20494Will you step inside?
20494Will you tell me what you think of it?
20494Wo n''t you go inside?"
20494Wornt those yower words, bor?"
20494Would Mr. Colwyn mind having that room?
20494Would you mind if I went into the kitchen and talked to you while you are preparing breakfast?"
20494Would you mind showing me those bits of candle- grease you picked up in the bedroom?"
20494Would you mind, Sir Henry?"
20494You are clever, can you not save him?
20494You have no objection, I suppose?"
20494You knew his name?"
20494You moind the day me and Billy Backlog come and towld yow about us seein''that chap on th''edge of yon wood that night?
20494You remember that chap who fainted yesterday morning?
20494You wanted to see me?"
20494You were there all through the dinner, I suppose?"
20494You will save him, wo n''t you?"
20494how did you find that out?"
10575A quarter of an hour?
10575About dawn to- morrow?
10575About that silly little Mrs. Liddiard Green, do you mean, and Jack Fulton? 10575 Am I the adventure?"
10575And do you want me to find it to save my husband from prison?
10575And for the sake of that prejudice,Dredlinton observed,"you can afford to refuse such a profit as he offered you?"
10575And here?
10575And in return?
10575And kept you waiting all that time?
10575And now,he suggested,"you would like a wash, perhaps?
10575And supposing we never give the word?
10575And that amendment?
10575And what was the end of it?
10575And why do you connect me with his disappearance?
10575And why the hell should I stop for you?
10575And you?
10575Any chance of your taking me back to the Milan?
10575Any particular reason?
10575Any quantity?
10575Anyhow, it will keep you people busy and serve as a sort of visiting card here for me until--"Until what?
10575Anything doing in your market to- day?
10575Are n''t you going to give him anything?
10575Are the other men there nice?
10575Are there any tips going?
10575Are we to stand here,Phipps demanded,"whilst you preach us a sermon about our business methods?"
10575Are you all here? 10575 Are you as strong as you look, Mr. John Wingate?"
10575Are you referring to the British and Imperial Granaries, Limited?
10575Are you, by the by, a believer in anything beyond?
10575As bad as that?
10575As for the polo, well, no one works on Saturday afternoon, do they?
10575At what time does the fight commence?
10575Bid? 10575 But for how long?"
10575But his name?
10575But look here, Maurice, my boy, why should they leave off buying, eh?
10575But this morning?
10575But you ca n''t want money?
10575But you were expecting me, were n''t you?
10575But, dash it all, you must have some idea as to what has become of him?
10575By the by, where are the chips?
10575By the by, you have n''t a few cigarettes, have you, for me to smoke while Sarah tries to get me safely home?
10575Ca n''t you give me some idea as to the nature of this business?
10575Ca n''t you hear me, Exchange?
10575Ca n''t you see I''m in my party clothes?
10575Clear enough,Dredlinton muttered,"but what the mischief does it all mean?"
10575Concerned in it?
10575Could you adopt it?
10575Dear me, how''s that? 10575 Dear,"she begged,"you wo n''t ever be sorry, will you, and-- does this sound selfish, I wonder?--you wo n''t mind waiting?"
10575Did n''t I see you lunching here with him the other day?
10575Did you come here believing that I was going to take yours?
10575Did you come here to improve your acquaintance with the interior of my sitting room?
10575Did you go all the way back to the hotel to fetch these?
10575Did you know that that was my profession, Mr. Wingate? 10575 Did you notice, Harrison,"he asked,"that our shares touched a hundred and eighty last night on the street?"
10575Did you see the questions that were asked in the House yesterday?
10575Disappeared?
10575Do n''t I get a dozen threatening letters a day? 10575 Do n''t I know that?"
10575Do n''t you know?
10575Do people believe in-- their disappearance?
10575Do you know anything about the men who need encouragement?
10575Do you know anything?
10575Do you know,he went on, striking the table with his clenched fist,"that what you suggest would cost five million pounds?"
10575Do you know,she said,"that you are making life much more endurable for me?"
10575Do you mean that you could find men to do your dirty work for nothing?
10575Do you mean that you will prosecute him?
10575Do you mind?
10575Do you think I mind that?
10575Do you think that I have n''t the power for caring?
10575Does n''t every one understand?
10575Drunk, am I?
10575Eh? 10575 Eh?"
10575Everybody?
10575Everything goes well?
10575Exactly what do you mean?
10575Explain? 10575 For how long, I wonder?"
10575For what purpose?
10575Forgotten it? 10575 Has anything happened?"
10575Has she money?
10575Have you a Wolseley?
10575Have you an empty room with a key?
10575Have you anything on at all at the present moment?
10575Have you been in the City yet?
10575Have you had to work very hard, dear?
10575Have you heard the news, aunt?
10575Have you men had your coffee?
10575He can be replaced, I suppose?
10575Honestly,he asked,"do you need any assurance?"
10575How are things in the House?
10575How are you, Andrew?
10575How are you, Wingate? 10575 How are you, old dear?
10575How did you guess it, my dear? 10575 How did you manage about serving?"
10575How do you know that it is unlimited?
10575How do you know?
10575How is it,she asked,"that they have been allowed to operate in wheat to this enormous extent?"
10575How is my friend, Mr. Peter Phipps?
10575How many?
10575How much do you make a week out of your driving, if it is n''t too personal a question?
10575How much has he got to lose?
10575How on earth should I?
10575How the devil could Flossie Lane see anything of the sort? 10575 How young?"
10575How?
10575I hope your husband''s absence this evening is not because he objects to meeting me?
10575I say, what''s wrong with them, White?
10575I say,Dredlinton went on,"what are you doing here, Wingate?
10575I sha n''t seem very selfish, John, shall I, if I ask for a little time to realise all this? 10575 I should never have sought you out, for the reason I have given you, but since we have met you will not refuse me your friendship?
10575If there''s the slightest hitch, you''ll let me hear, wo n''t you?
10575In this life or the next?
10575In what way?
10575Inspector Shields?
10575Is Wilshaw so badly off?
10575Is he giving them both up?
10575Is he your only client, then?
10575Is it true, Wingate,the Cabinet Minister asked him curiously,"that it was you who broke the British and Imperial Granaries?"
10575Is n''t a disappearance of this sort rather unusual?
10575Is that a threat?
10575Is that so? 10575 Is that your husband going?"
10575Is this the reason why Jimmy is making his great debut as a man of affairs?
10575Is this what love brings, John?
10575Is this what you came to tell me?
10575Is this your house or mine?
10575It used to be one of your hospital rooms, surely?
10575It would be sufficient, if you recognized the voice?
10575Josephine,he asked,"do you think it needs any good nature on my part?"
10575Josephine,he said, looking back,"do you know you are one of the few women in the world I ca n''t even talk to?
10575Just how do you propose to help me?
10575Just what do you mean by that?
10575Lady Dredlinton, by any chance?
10575Let me see, who are the other directors?
10575Look here, Dredlinton, are you sober enough to talk horse common sense?
10575Look here, ca n''t you behave like a decent fellow-- an ordinary human being, you know? 10575 Love?"
10575Martin gone?
10575Materially?
10575May I not be the judge of that?
10575May I sit down?
10575May I sit down?
10575May n''t I? 10575 May we sit here?"
10575Mr. Peter Phipps, for instance?
10575Must not?
10575My help?
10575Not a seller? 10575 Not to mention any names, eh?
10575Nothing else transpired during the evening,the inspector continued,"likely to have proved a shock to his lordship?"
10575Nothing else?
10575Now tell us where Peter Phipps comes in?
10575Now what can I give you? 10575 Now what,"Sarah asked ingratiatingly,"is your honest opinion about British and Imperial Granaries?"
10575Of warning?
10575Or a self- respecting wife, eh?
10575Or perhaps you do n''t go to musical comedies? 10575 Perhaps you wonder why she came?"
10575Phipps,he asked,"what the devil do you and this fellow Wingate see in my wife?"
10575Precisely what you''d like to do yourself, eh?
10575Promise me that I shall help?
10575Quarrel with you, Freddy?
10575Questions? 10575 Roberts?
10575Sad? 10575 Satisfactory, I trust?"
10575Shall I see you in the City to- morrow?
10575Shall I see you to- day?
10575Shall I tell you?
10575Shall you be seeing him soon?
10575She did n''t dine with Wingate, then, or go to the theatre?
10575Since when have you come to that conclusion, Lord Dredlinton?
10575Since Étaples? 10575 So he wants me to sell him wheat, eh?
10575So my Wolseley is to be scrapped?
10575So you have no news of any of your directors, Harrison?
10575Sober? 10575 Some of mine were uncommonly plain- spoken,"Phipps acknowledged,"but what''s the odds?
10575Stanley Rees?
10575Stanley disappeared?
10575Still, you wo n''t mind going so far as to say that you are an admirer of hers?
10575Strong panels?
10575Supposing I sell these shares?
10575Supposing you fail altogether with Wingate?
10575Supposing you then pass him on to me and I succeed in getting him to sell the shares? 10575 Suspect what?"
10575Tell me about it at once, please?
10575Tell me what it is you want, Phipps? 10575 Tell me what you mean, man, when you say that you were responsible for his disappearance?"
10575Tell me, Wingate, is it still the girl?
10575Tell me, by the by, did you notice an air of desertion in the lower part of the house?
10575That Kendrick?
10575That means you make a bankrupt of me?
10575That one of mine seems pretty definite, does n''t it?
10575The big man who looked like a professional millionaire? 10575 The chips?"
10575The only point worth considering is, could I help? 10575 The war--""You lost friends, I suppose?"
10575Then could n''t one do some good by selling a bear of them?
10575Then what did you do?
10575Then what does it matter?
10575There is some trouble?
10575They are in your pay, are they? 10575 They are obstinate?"
10575They may say what they like but who''s to prove it?
10575This is your doing?
10575Tired?
10575Under these circumstances, do you wish to repudiate your bargain?
10575Unless what?
10575Very,he admitted,"yet, after all, why not?
10575Volunteers?
10575Was he ill?
10575Was he in good health?
10575Was he trying to make love to you this afternoon?
10575We are not prisoners any more, I suppose?
10575We have decided,Phipps continued,"to sell wheat-- to sell, you understand?
10575Well, then, why do n''t you do it?
10575Well, they have n''t been yours very long, have they?
10575Well, what is it, Wingate?
10575Well?
10575Well?
10575Well?
10575Well?
10575Well?
10575What about not coming back all night, sir?
10575What are they to- day?
10575What are you doing these days?
10575What are you doing this evening?
10575What are you getting rid of, eh? 10575 What are you going to get for blackmailing me into selling those shares?"
10575What are your terms? 10575 What can I do for you?"
10575What can I remember except one thing?
10575What did you come for, then?
10575What did you do?
10575What do they say?
10575What do you call yourself, anyway?
10575What do you mean?
10575What do you mean?
10575What do you mean?
10575What do you mean?
10575What do you mean?
10575What do you mean?
10575What do you think, Phipps?
10575What do you want with me? 10575 What does he want?"
10575What does it mean?
10575What fool''s game is this? 10575 What happened last night?"
10575What happens to the business, eh-- to your big operations?
10575What has she in her present life to lose, compared with what she gains from you-- what she wants more than anything else in the world-- love?
10575What has your work been?
10575What if I am? 10575 What if we refuse?"
10575What is the amount?
10575What is the physician''s report?
10575What is this leading up to?
10575What measure of unhappiness could be crowded into my life which is not already there? 10575 What of it?"
10575What on earth are we in this mausoleum for?
10575What on earth has that to do with Roberts? 10575 What on earth is he trying to sell?"
10575What risk is there for me to run?
10575What sort of a husband does he make?
10575What the devil do you mean by that?
10575What the devil have you done with Stanley Rees?
10575What then?
10575What was the start of this feeling?
10575What would you do?
10575What''ll happen if Wingate wo n''t sell?
10575What''s that?
10575What''s that?
10575What''s wrong with my garrulous aunt? 10575 What, John Wingate from New York?"
10575What, do you want to whisper your bid?
10575What? 10575 When did you arrive?"
10575When do we begin?
10575Where is your wife?
10575Where shall I send my card?
10575Whether what would be worth while?
10575Who are you? 10575 Who was it?"
10575Who was that?
10575Who''s that, Ken?
10575Who?--Lady Dredlinton?
10575Whom do you dictate your letters to?
10575Why did nature make my sex pessimists and yours optimists, I wonder? 10575 Why did you want to see me, by the by?"
10575Why do n''t you fellows sit down and have a drink?
10575Why do n''t you tell us his name and all about him? 10575 Why do servants get on one''s nerves so when one wants to talk?
10575Why do you doubt her?
10575Why do you think so?
10575Why have n''t I heard about him before?
10575Why have you done this?
10575Why not?
10575Why not?
10575Why not?
10575Why on earth should he object to meeting you?
10575Why the mischief did n''t any one tell me you were here?
10575Why''brute''?
10575Why, what do you suppose your husband does with the money?
10575Why?
10575Why?
10575Will you call in some servants?
10575Will you forgive my saying that up to the present you have not offered me any sufficient explanation as to the reason for your visit?
10575Will you humour me?
10575Will you make out a cheque for ten thousand pounds as a deposit?
10575Will you treat?
10575Wingate?
10575Within the next twenty- four hours you will be ready if necessary?
10575Yes, I am strong enough,he agreed,"but is she?"
10575Yes, but how long is it going to last?
10575Yes, but how?
10575Yes, sir?
10575Yes? 10575 Yes?"
10575You admit that you are responsible, then?
10575You admit, then, that you were concerned in that?
10575You are anxious about your nephew?
10575You are curious? 10575 You are not afraid of the police, are you?"
10575You are probably her confidant in the unfortunate differences which have arisen between us?
10575You ca n''t tell me anything about your scheme yet?
10575You came, in fact,Josephine said,"to place your bank account at my disposal?"
10575You can not believe,he exclaimed almost angrily,"that I came here to take your money?"
10575You did n''t have any commissions yourself?
10575You do n''t approve of our company?
10575You do n''t imagine,he asked, smiling,"that I am disappointed at your husband''s absence?"
10575You do n''t know Mr. Maken, our manager, I suppose?
10575You do n''t mean Phipps-- Dreadnought Phipps?
10575You do n''t mean to tell me that you had strength of mind enough to keep away from the City?
10575You found its contents satisfactory?
10575You have n''t been in here before without knocking, have you?
10575You have no regrets?
10575You have really made up your minds at last, then?
10575You have something to say first?
10575You have those figures I sent you a wireless for?
10575You love me? 10575 You mean that, after all, you''ve humbugged me, both of you?"
10575You mean to make a prisoner of me in my own house?
10575You mean when you tried to blackmail me into selling my shipping shares?
10575You mean,he exclaimed, moving from his place and standing before her with his hands in his pockets,"that you want to get rid of me, eh?"
10575You really had n''t forgotten, then?
10575You shall advise your clients not to touch what?
10575You think that everything I said the other day was bluff, eh, and that Stanley Rees''disappearance has driven everything else out of my head? 10575 You threaten us with the vengeance of some secret society?"
10575You threaten us?
10575You trust me?
10575You two are not friends?
10575You two gentlemen were present when Lord Dredlinton died?
10575You two know each other?
10575You wish to stay here for the night?
10575You wo n''t let this little affair make any difference to your call upon us on Tuesday morning?
10575You wo n''t mind if I venture upon one last word?
10575You wo n''t sell, then?
10575You''d what?
10575You''ll excuse me for a moment?
10575You''ll have a drink before you go, Wilshaw?
10575You''re not prejudiced, by any chance, are you?
10575You''re sure that Phipps has n''t drawn you into this? 10575 You''ve no indication of the Government''s attitude, I suppose?"
10575You''ve tried his club? 10575 Young fellow,"Wingate asked,"where is Sarah?"
10575Young men do n''t disappear through the windows of the Milan Bar, do they?
10575Your address?
10575Your banking arrangements?
10575Your sympathy is without doubt on her side?
10575& I.?"
10575A great deal of wine was drunk?"
10575A man is known by his breakfast companions, what?"
10575An old friend of yours, I presume?"
10575And indeed, why should we refuse?
10575And may I remind you that your attitude is not entirely hospitable?"
10575And quite a good play, was n''t it?"
10575And the restaurant where he was to have dined?
10575And what the mischief are we always changing servants for?
10575And-- lean down, please-- are you really trying to flirt with Josephine Dredlinton?
10575Any news?"
10575Are you all nincompoops?"
10575Are you very angry with me for having guessed?
10575Ask us another time, wo n''t you?
10575Besides, is Miss Orford clever?"
10575Board?"
10575But did you see her, Stanley?
10575But to- morrow-- what then?"
10575But why?"
10575But, Miss Baldwin,"he went on, turning towards her,"why do we talk finance on such a wonderful afternoon, and so far away from the City?
10575By the by, have you heard anything of Phipps lately?
10575By the by, you all drank champagne?"
10575Ca n''t we meet him, Harrison?
10575Can I rely upon your waiting here for me?"
10575Can you find a few bullies of the Tom Grogan class, if necessary?"
10575Can you suggest anything better?"
10575Did I do wrong?"
10575Did I tell you, by the by, that he went into the war as a private and came out a brigadier?"
10575Did n''t you hear the door slam?"
10575Did you buy the Rolls- Royce, Wingate?"
10575Did you meet any one in the corridor?"
10575Do n''t you agree with me?"
10575Do n''t you see how serious this all is?
10575Do n''t you think that some day soon one person will have what another covets, and the world will rock again to the clash of arms?"
10575Do you admire Miss Orford?"
10575Do you believe that I am a man who keeps his word?"
10575Do you hear that, Wingate?
10575Do you mind if I open a window or two?"
10575Do you think they will be able to stop wars in the future?"
10575Dredlinton, you must make your wife understand--""Understand?"
10575Eh?
10575Ever noticed the scar on his right cheek, Kendrick?"
10575Exactly where did you dine?"
10575Has the party broken up early or were n''t you a success?"
10575Have you ever wondered why I put you on the Board of the B.& I.?"
10575He is such a dear, is n''t he?"
10575Here?
10575How about that cheque to Farnham and Company last week?
10575How are you, Wingate?"
10575How can that be?
10575How did you find me out?"
10575How did you find time to furnish it like this?
10575How goes it?"
10575How long will it take you?--A quarter of an hour?--Eh?"
10575However, what was I to do?"
10575I begin to get the cold shoulder wherever I turn, but, damn it all, do n''t you understand that we must have money?"
10575I can say what I want, ca n''t I?"
10575I did tell you we had to go directly after dinner, did n''t I?"
10575I have n''t done wrong, have I?"
10575I''m a better man drunk than you are sober-- although she may not think so, eh?"
10575I''ve been back to England three times since then, and each time one thought was foremost in my mind--''shall I meet Sister Josephine?''"
10575If Rees can be spirited away and no one be able to lift up a finger to help him, what about the rest of us?"
10575If you do need anything in the shape of a comfortable conveyance while you are in town, will you remember me?
10575Inspector?"
10575Is Mr. Wingate like that or is he a dourer type?"
10575Is he making a man of that bad husband of yours, Josephine?"
10575Is it a matter of salary?"
10575Is that all?"
10575Is that clear enough?"
10575Is there any one I forgot to invite?"
10575It looks a good thing at these prices, Kendrick, does n''t it, and a normal harvest coming along on the other side?"
10575Josephine, did you bring Mr. Wingate or did he bring you?"
10575Just half a glass?
10575Kept them waiting and never turned up?
10575May we drive to Albert Gate and walk in the Park a little way?
10575Mr. Harrison there?--Ask him to come to the''phone, please.--Harrison?
10575No cable from your friend in New York yet?"
10575Not at a quarter premium?"
10575Or perhaps she was clever; she was leading him on to more definite things?
10575Out with it.--Who''s speaking?
10575Perhaps a little superstitious, a little nervous about yourself, eh?"
10575Perhaps, Josephine, I may be favoured with an introduction to this gentleman?
10575Phipps?--_What_?"
10575Poor sort of host, eh, Jimmy?
10575Put a different person on each line.--What''s that?"
10575Put me straight through to Scotland Yard!--Can you hear me, Exchange?
10575See Stanley Rees and Peter Phipps now?"
10575Shall I draft a little agreement that you will sell the shares to Phipps?
10575Shall we say twenty thou, Wingate?
10575Tell me so once more?"
10575Tell me, do n''t you love supping here?"
10575That''s right, is n''t it, Wingate?"
10575The immediate cause of his death was the strain of-- what shall we call it, Mr. Wingate-- this orgy?"
10575The wires that are ruining us this morning will be telling of your arrest to- night, eh?"
10575They ca n''t imagine that they can hustle me into the market?"
10575Under those circumstances, will it be worth your while to tell the truth?"
10575Upon Lord Dredlinton?
10575Walk to the door, will you?"
10575Want to sell wheat, Wingate, or buy it, eh?"
10575Was Dredlinton really rude to you?"
10575We know your sort, do n''t we, eh?"
10575We''re not out for our health-- who is in the City?
10575Well, are n''t you getting it?
10575Well, has ever a man who aspires to be considered a financial giant had such a career?
10575What about it?"
10575What about lunch?"
10575What about ten thou, eh?"
10575What are you going to start him at, Roger?"
10575What can they want with me down at Throgmorton Street?
10575What do you say?
10575What do you think about it?"
10575What do you want, madam?"
10575What good can you expect to do by this brigandage?"
10575What happened?
10575What happens to a man, Inspector, if he shoots another in self- defence, eh?"
10575What have you got to say about that?"
10575What is the meaning of that piece of mummery, Wingate?"
10575What on earth do we pay our police for?
10575What on earth has become of Jacob?"
10575What or whom shall we discuss?
10575What shall I do?"
10575What sort of a country are we living in?
10575What the devil does it matter to you why?
10575What theatres do you advise me to go to?"
10575What will his return cost me in hard cash between you and me?"
10575What''ll you bid, Phipps?"
10575When can you give me a few moments of your time, Mr. Wingate?
10575When you''ve got the message through, ring us up.--Where are we?
10575Where are you going to live?"
10575Where is your husband now?"
10575Where will you lunch-- the restaurant or the grillroom?"
10575Whisky and soda or some hock?"
10575White?"
10575Who are they, Sarah?"
10575Who cares about them?
10575Who''s that?
10575Whom are you taking into supper?"
10575Why are you sitting there, looking like a whipped dog?
10575Why ca n''t you wear a more cheerful face?
10575Why not ring up Scotland Yard direct?"
10575Why not ring up and enquire about his health?"
10575Why not save time and explain why you have dragged your wife''s name into this business?"
10575Will you accept this apology in the spirit in which it is tendered, and wipe out the whole incident from your memory?
10575Will you be very good- natured and come?"
10575Will you call around at our offices, Number 13 Throgmorton Street, next Tuesday morning at, say?
10575Will you put it up to your client?"
10575Will you sit there?"
10575Wingate, shall we form a screen in front of you, or are you content to be toppled from your pedestal?"
10575Wingate?"
10575Wingate?"
10575Wingate?"
10575Wingate?"
10575Wingate?"
10575Wingate?"
10575Wingate?"
10575Wingate?"
10575Wingate?"
10575Wingate?"
10575Would it be possible for me to leave without fighting my way through that mob?"
10575Would you like me to send you word if ever I''m unable to play?"
10575Would you like to see them?"
10575Yes?
10575You do n''t have to dictate letters to her, do you?"
10575You do n''t think I''m a forward little minx, do you?"
10575You do n''t want to quarrel with me, do you?"
10575You got my letter?"
10575You have n''t forgotten that Wingate''s due here this morning-- that is, if he keeps his appointment?"
10575You sympathise with Lady Dredlinton, eh?"
10575You want something, perhaps?
10575You will let me come and see you?"
10575You wo n''t be horrified if I sit down and smoke one of your cigarettes?
10575You''ll forgive us if we hurry off?
10575You''ll have one, wo n''t you?"
10575You''re all right, are n''t you, Dredlinton?"
10575You''re not finding difficulties in the way of your suit, are you?"
10575You''re sure you have n''t been goaded into this?"
10575You''ve done with business-- you understand?"
10575Your household goods?"
10575eleven- thirty?"
10575he echoed,"Worth our while?--Why the devil do n''t they bring the man in?
10575less than we gave for it?"
10575she asked a little timidly,"You do n''t think that I should betray you to my husband?"
10575what''s that, Sarah?"
12239A Berwick man?
12239A wee drop, now? 12239 Absolutely gone?"
12239And how are we to let people know anything about him if there is n''t news in the papers?
12239And how do you account for two men getting away from the neighbourhood without attracting attention?
12239And if you''ll make allowance for a bit of inexperience--"You''ll do your best, eh?
12239And it proves, too, that he was wanting an outfit when he came to Liverpool from-- where? 12239 And not a word to your mother?"
12239And saw nothing?
12239And the question comes to this,observed the coroner,"what was this man doing at that place, and who was he likely to meet there?
12239And the road?
12239And the time?
12239And the word-- for surety?
12239And what''s your name?
12239And when?
12239And where''s your own good clothes that you went away in yesterday noon? 12239 And where?"
12239And why?
12239And with the exception of that registered letter we''ve heard of, he never had a letter delivered to him all the time he lodged with you?
12239And you do n''t know that he ever went to any particular place to look at any particular grave or house?
12239And you''ve never heard of or from him since?
12239And you''ve never heard of your brother''s having been seen in Liverpool of late?
12239And you''ve told me everything that he said to you?
12239And-- Edinburgh?
12239And-- the message?
12239And-- you think he did?
12239Any more of you-- brothers and sisters?
12239Any other craft than yours about at the time?
12239Any-- aye, of course!--any young children in the house? 12239 Are there others in at all this?"
12239Are you articled to him?
12239Are you good at figures and accounts?
12239Are you so sure of that, now?
12239As I said just now, there''s numbers of strangers comes about Tweedside at this time of the year, and who''d think anything of seeing them? 12239 As to seeing anything, how could I?
12239Aye!--you know something, then?
12239Aye, does it?
12239Aye-- and how long is it since you last saw your brother, now?
12239Aye; but did he never bring home a salmon, now?
12239Aye?
12239Aye?
12239Aye?
12239Aye?
12239Before we go any further,said Mr. Lindsey,"may I ask you to tell us what he came for?
12239Besides-- didn''t I see his face as he got himself and his yacht away from me? 12239 Bethink yourself!--when all was cut and dried for their getting off, do you think he''d stick a knife in his confederate''s throat?
12239But he just as readily admitted he was in possession of Crone''s purse? 12239 But he''s lodged with you seven weeks?"
12239But him-- the man-- Sir Gilbert, or whoever he is?
12239But how much?
12239But is n''t that evident?
12239But what for did you not come straight home when you were safely on shore again?
12239But you''ll have recollections of what they told you about your father from their own remembrance of him?
12239But-- there''s nothing unusual in that; some correspondent of mine might have handed it to him-- torn it off one of my letters, do you see? 12239 But-- you''re a Scotsman?"
12239But--"But what?
12239Can you account for any reason why the girl should be missing?
12239Can you say as to that?
12239Can you think of any other that it would be? 12239 Can you?"
12239Chisholm''s been here, then?
12239Could she carry those things-- all of them-- on her bicycle-- by which I hear she left?
12239Crone used to be out at nights now and then, did n''t he?
12239D''ye see that, now?
12239Did anybody know where he was at the time of his father''s death?
12239Did he bring a portmanteau or anything aboard with him, then?
12239Did he give you any hint as to where he was going?
12239Did he mention anything about the yacht to you?
12239Did he seem to find it?
12239Did he tell you the names of such folk, or where they were buried, or anything of that sort?
12239Did he, for instance, happen to mention that he was leaving home for a time?
12239Did n''t I tell you there''d be revelations about Gilverthwaite, Hugh, my lad? 12239 Did n''t you hear what the woman was saying when we came across her there outside the police- station?"
12239Did you communicate the news from Largo to Hathercleugh?
12239Did you notice any footprints?
12239Did you think that he was searching for some particular entry?
12239Do you know any more about the girl than was in Murray''s wire?
12239Do you know anything about Miss Dunlop? 12239 Do you know aught of that man, John Phillips, whose name''s in the papers too?"
12239Do you know her maiden name?
12239Do you know if your brother ever came to Berwick as a lad?
12239Do you know what I think? 12239 Do you know what it is you''re suggesting, Lindsey?"
12239Do you know where Till meets Tweed?
12239Do you know who''s one of the witnesses to this will? 12239 Do you mean he''s running away?"
12239Do you see that?
12239Do you think I was going to hold talk with a creature like that at my steps?
12239Do you think there''s a will, mister?
12239Does Mr. Lindsey suspect him now?
12239Empty?
12239For no more than that?
12239Giving you, in fact, an impression that he was either a native of these parts, or had lived here at some time, or had kindred that had?
12239Had n''t we better get the man in here, and see what''s on him? 12239 Has it struck any of you how that could be caused?"
12239Have n''t you seen Sir Gilbert Carstairs? 12239 Have you ever known Sir Gilbert Carstairs visit Glasgow recently?"
12239Have you heard any more about that affair last night?
12239Have you heard this about that man Crone?
12239Have you mentioned it to a soul?
12239Have you no theory, Lindsey?
12239He did n''t describe the man you were to meet?
12239He never told you who the man was that he had his fears of?
12239He''s been in here?
12239How can I tell you that?
12239How did you know?
12239How do you know that?
12239How do you know yon bad man is n''t still about?
12239How far had the body been dragged before it was thrown into the river?
12239How long are you going to stop here in Dundee, captain?
12239How much of all that money is there left in your hands?
12239How should I know that?
12239How, now?
12239How, then?
12239I do n''t know if you want to ask this witness any questions?
12239I hear you''re promising ten pounds-- cash on the spot-- to the man that can give you some news of your young lady?
12239I mean about Crone?
12239I suppose he died in his bed, miss?
12239I suppose no one has heard anything of this yacht having been seen drifting about yesterday, or during last night?
12239I suppose you do n''t know anything about this, my friend?
12239I was just going, as I said, to ask a question or two down here-- did anybody hear Crone say anything last night about going out that way?
12239I wish to ask your worships, if it is your intention, on the evidence you have heard, to commit the prisoner on the capital charge today?
12239I wonder will all the stuff in the newspapers bring any one forward?
12239If he was about here, and this Hollins was in some of his secrets--?
12239If it was robbery, why did n''t they take everything?
12239If so, what? 12239 In fact, you''re thoroughly well up in all clerical matters?"
12239Is it a post you would n''t care about, then? 12239 Is it right, now?"
12239Is there anybody above?
12239It comes to this-- you suspect Sir Gilbert?
12239It has n''t? 12239 It was certainly caused by a pointed weapon-- some sort of a spiked weapon?"
12239It''s Hathercleugh you''re talking of, then?
12239Just so-- haven''t you met her?
12239Keeping books, writing letters, all that sort of thing?
12239Lindsey in?
12239Lindsey would n''t stand in your way, would he?
12239Mr. Crone,said I, gazing straight at him,"what''s this you have to say to me?"
12239Mr. Gavin Smeaton?
12239Mr. Hugh here said he was ill; it would be a turn for the worse, no doubt, after Mr. Hugh left him?
12239Mr. Ridley, you have had some recent dealings with this man James Gilverthwaite, who has just been mentioned in connection with this inquiry?
12239Never heard that he called to see any old friends at all? 12239 No concern of yours, d''ye hear, my lad?"
12239No talk of it hereabouts?
12239No?
12239Nor heard his voice down here-- or anywhere?
12239Nor tell you his name?
12239Not a soul in her?
12239Not even--"Not even-- who?
12239Now, did this man ever give you, while he was in your house, any reason at all for his coming to Berwick?
12239Now, then,he continued,"you know what they charge you with?
12239Now, why do you ask that last question?
12239Now,--what do you say?
12239Oh, Lady Carstairs is an American, is she?
12239On the river- bank-- between the river and a coppice, was n''t it?
12239One is-- I gather that you''ve invested all the money which Sir Gilbert placed in your hands?
12239Plenty of experience of office work and routine?
12239Shall I give you my theory?
12239She left no message at the house?
12239She''s close by?
12239Since when did he give you such hints?
12239So her ladyship''s disappeared, too, has she? 12239 So you believe you''re the sister of this man James Gilverthwaite, ma''am?"
12239So-- beyond Crone-- who, I hear, is dead-- you''ve never told a living soul of this?
12239That all?
12239That far-- and at that time of night?
12239That something was wrong?
12239That would be the very morning after the affair of the yacht?
12239The Tower part?
12239The fact is, you suspicion him?
12239The first,answered Mr. Lindsey,"is this-- How long is it since you saw or heard from Sir Gilbert Carstairs?"
12239The man''s name?
12239Then he''s paid out-- in the way you state-- what?
12239Then in that case-- that young fellow at Dundee is Michael Carstairs''son?
12239Then the Glasgow tale was all lies?
12239Then there_ is_ a Mr. John Paley?
12239Then what follows?
12239Then, according to what you tell me, she left Hathercleugh soon after you telephoned to her?
12239Then-- have you come purposely to see me about it?
12239Then-- they are n''t in Glasgow?
12239Then-- who killed Hollins?
12239There are other things than a salmon gaff that, in your opinion, could have caused it?
12239There was no one else with you in the room when this man Gilverthwaite gave you his orders?
12239There''ll be places-- villages and the like-- all along, I expect?
12239There''s more mystery, do you see? 12239 There''s no danger in it?"
12239There''s nothing to do but what you say?
12239They''re living?
12239They? 12239 To do-- what?"
12239Was he always alone?
12239Was it only lately?
12239Well, he''ll have papers, letters, something or other that''ll throw some light on matters, no doubt?
12239Well, my lad,he said;"a bit dazed by your new opening?
12239Well, now, what might you be wanting in the way of accommodation?
12239Well, what about this man Carstairs-- what news of him?
12239Well-- about the purse?
12239Well-- where''s that purse?
12239Well?
12239Well?
12239Well?
12239Were her sails set at all?
12239Were there any signs of an affray close by-- or near, on the bank?
12239What I''m thinking of-- could I give satisfaction?
12239What about yourself?
12239What are the facts?
12239What are you doing here, and what does all this mean? 12239 What are you going to do about it?"
12239What are you going to do now?
12239What are you going to do, now?
12239What can I do for you?
12239What did she want?
12239What do you deduce from that, now?
12239What do you know of the movements of this man Gilverthwaite while he was lodging with your mother?
12239What do you make of all this?
12239What do you make of this, Hugh?
12239What do you make of this?
12239What do you want?
12239What else? 12239 What for do you ask that?"
12239What have you got to say to me?
12239What have you got to say to that?
12239What is it you are after, Lindsey?
12239What is it? 12239 What might your name be, now?"
12239What of it?
12239What police do you mean?
12239What riddle''s all this?
12239What should I be following up, man? 12239 What should I know?"
12239What time was this?
12239What time would that be?
12239What!--more of it?
12239What''re you doing in that new suit of clothes?
12239What''s all this, Lindsey?
12239What''s all this? 12239 What''s happened within your own province-- officially, I mean?"
12239What''s that?
12239What''s the reason of fetching us all this way when you''re alive and well?
12239What''s your clue?
12239What''s your own opinion?
12239What-- property?
12239What? 12239 What?"
12239What?
12239What?
12239What?
12239Whatever are we going to hear now?
12239When did you come across this yacht?
12239When you charged the man there in the dock with the murder of Abel Crone, did n''t he at once-- instantly!--show the greatest surprise? 12239 Where are you going?"
12239Where else should it be? 12239 Where he was found?"
12239Where is Hollins?
12239Where is he?
12239Where''s Miss Dunlop?
12239Where, now, if it''s a fair question?
12239Where, sir?
12239Where, then?
12239Which he took away with him?
12239Who are you?--and what do you want to say?
12239Who else? 12239 Who else?"
12239Who is he?
12239Who is he?
12239Who locked you in?
12239Why have n''t you told, yourself?
12239Why should you think to find Miss Dunlop here-- in this old ruin?
12239Will you taste?
12239Will you tell Sir Gilbert that Mr. Moneylaws, clerk to Mr. Lindsey, solicitor, wishes to see him on important business?
12239With proof, of course, that he was the man he represented himself to be?
12239Would an hour do?
12239Yes?
12239You are n''t a detective?
12239You came alone?
12239You did n''t let him know that you and I had talked last night?
12239You did n''t mention it to a soul?
12239You do n''t believe it, then?
12239You do n''t know anything yourself, my lad?
12239You do n''t know him? 12239 You do n''t think he killed Hollins, then?"
12239You found a pretty considerable sum on Phillips as it was when you searched his body, did n''t you?
12239You found the exact spot where the man had been struck down?
12239You gave some evidence at the inquest on Phillips about Gilverthwaite''s searching of your registers, I think?
12239You heard and saw-- nothing?
12239You know it?
12239You know that bit of a public there is along the river yonder, outside the wall-- the Cod and Lobster? 12239 You know where that old-- what do they call it?--chapel, cell, something of that nature, is?"
12239You made a very exhaustive search of the neighbourhood of the spot where Crone''s body was found, did n''t you?
12239You mean Gilverthwaite?
12239You mean to say-- of your own knowledge-- they''re not at Hathercleugh?
12239You mean, Mr. Lindsey, that she''s somehow got into the hands of-- what?--who?
12239You saw nobody about close by-- nor in the neighbourhood-- no strangers on the road?
12239You say you''ve drawn a deduction?
12239You see yon gentleman?
12239You think that man really meant you to drown?
12239You want me to do something that nobody''s to know about?
12239You want me to meet this other man?
12239You were saying this man was suspected of poaching?
12239You were there?
12239You were with him?
12239You''d be fine and glad to see your sweetheart, Moneylaws, and assure yourself that she''s come to no harm, and is safe and well?
12239You''d be reasonable about it?
12239You''ll be attaching some importance to what you saw?
12239You''ll be for fetching him along here, then? 12239 You''ll be thinking now, of course, that it was he murdered both Phillips and Crone-- eh?"
12239You''ll have letters of your father''s?
12239You''ll know yon Abel Crone, the marine- store dealer? 12239 You''ll promise me, Hugh, before ever I go, that you''ll not run yourself into any more dangers?"
12239You''re in no danger?
12239You''re in possession of some evidence that we know nothing about?
12239You''re not by yourself, Hugh?
12239You''re staying in Dundee-- taking a holiday?
12239You''re sure it was Sir Gilbert?
12239You''re sure of that?
12239You''ve come to no harm?--you''re all right?--you''ve not been frightened out of your senses?--how did it all come about?
12239You''ve found something out?
12239You''ve got a holiday, have you, Moneylaws? 12239 You''ve no idea where she went on that bicycle?"
12239You''ve no photograph of your father?
12239You''ve seen him since?
12239You''ve some object?
12239Your father hailed from Berwick, or thereabouts? 12239 Your name would be Gilverthwaite, then, before you were married?"
12239Your transactions with Sir Gilbert have been quite in order, all through, I suppose-- and quite ordinary?
12239A page lad came along with a telegram in his hand asking was there any gentleman there of the name of Moneylaws?
12239Again-- yes or no?"
12239An impostor!--not the real man?
12239And I''m wondering if whoever killed this fellow, whoever he may be, would n''t have killed Mr. Gilverthwaite, too, if he''d come?
12239And both rapped out the same inquiry, in identical words:"Some news?"
12239And did n''t I know he was to be done to death by some of ye?
12239And do you know, my lad, where, in my opinion, the very beginning of it may have to be sought for?"
12239And for what purpose?"
12239And had the man been murdered for the sake of robbery?
12239And in that case-- how could one find out what it was?"
12239And now we''ll go and see this Mr. Smeaton; but first, where''s the telegraph office in this station?
12239And now, then, who''s the man?"
12239And our question now is, Can we get at it in any other way?"
12239And so I ask, What do you, his solicitor, know of him-- his character, his doings during the thirty years he was away?
12239And somebody was off and away-- have you seen nobody outside there?"
12239And that''s the last you ever heard?"
12239And the next question was-- what was I to do?
12239And what did begin, and what was going on?
12239And what does it all look like?"
12239And what have you to say, Mr. Portlethorpe?
12239And what made you come here yourselves?--and are there any more of you about?"
12239And what then?
12239And what was going to come of it, now that Abel Crone was aware that I knew something which, up to then, I had kept back?
12239And what were the two of''em after in this corner of the country?
12239And what''ll you do there?
12239And when did you get to hear that, now?"
12239And where''s the chief party-- the other man?"
12239And where''s your purse?"
12239And why, after keeping silence to everybody, did I decide to break it to Sir Gilbert Carstairs?
12239And why?
12239And without making any comment he said three words:"Well-- your questions?"
12239And, as I say, who knows anything about his past doings when he was away more than thirty years, nor what company he kept, nor what secrets he has?
12239And, in that case, who was the somebody?
12239And, suddenly, another idea flashed across me-- Was that tale true, or was the man telling us a pack of lies, all for some end?
12239And-- I''m perhaps not far wrong when I suggest that you know something?"
12239And-- all that money on him and in his chest?"
12239And-- for what reason?
12239And-- private?"
12239And-- this, I think, was what was chiefly in my thoughts-- was Crone playing some game of his own and designing to use me as a puppet in it?
12239And-- what was the name he told you to use as a password once you met his man, Hugh-- wasn''t it Panama?"
12239And-- where it was that the man was to wait for him?
12239And-- you did?"
12239Are there more of you outside or about?"
12239Aye, who are the two witnesses?
12239Births, deaths, marriages-- which?"
12239But I''m wondering what the connection between the Gilverthwaite and Phillips affair and this Meekin has been-- if we could get at it?"
12239But as to the next step-- you have n''t the least idea in your head, Moneylaws, about Hollins''s assailant?"
12239But have you never heard of him?"
12239But now-- do you think this man Phillips may have been my father?"
12239But what can this parson know?"
12239But what is it you''re going to do?"
12239But whatever were you doing here, yourself?"
12239But-- did you keep that idea of yours strictly to yourself, now?"
12239But-- what''s your own news?--and what''s Moneylaws got to tell about Sir Gilbert?"
12239But-- where was he then?
12239But-- you''ll take my offer?"
12239Can you keep one for me, now?"
12239Come, now, on your oath-- yes or no?"
12239Could anything be plainer?"
12239Could that wound have been caused by that-- or something very similar to it?"
12239Crone?"
12239Crone?"
12239D''you follow that?"
12239Did Gilverthwaite pay them in your case?"
12239Did he ever come home that evening from his shop?"
12239Did n''t I?"
12239Did n''t he tell me himself that there was one would give his two eyes to be seeing his corpse?
12239Did you happen to see his purse, now?"
12239Do you follow me?"
12239Do you tell me that Carstairs has never been home?"
12239Do you understand that?"
12239Does n''t he know anything?
12239Does that mean--""Did you read your newspaper yesterday?"
12239Elphinstone?"
12239Except that he is Sir Gilbert Carstairs, nobody in these parts knows anything about him-- how should they?
12239First of all, do you know if any of your folks hailed from this part?"
12239For what purpose?
12239Gilverthwaite?"
12239Had Crone told me the truth that night I went to buy the stuff for Tom Dunlop''s rabbit- hutches?
12239Had I been watched?
12239Had he a doctor to him since he was taken ill?"
12239Had she any news of Maisie?
12239Had some person followed me out of Berwick that night?
12239Has any further light been thrown on that?
12239Have you no idea at all who did this?"
12239He was there?
12239He''s the sort that would give you a strong word by way of reference, eh?"
12239Hollins?"
12239How did I know?
12239How did he come to know?
12239How soon can you be ready?"
12239However, he''s gone now-- and died that suddenly and quietly!--and we''ve laid him out in his bed; and-- and-- what''s to be done now?"
12239Hugh?"
12239Hugh?"
12239Hugh?"
12239Hugh?"
12239Hugh?"
12239Hugh?--a suggestion that would lead to something?"
12239I laughed-- for the first time since-- when?
12239I''d like to see this Mr. Lindsey-- you''re sure he''ll come to you here?"
12239I''ll have no mercy on anybody that''s interfered with her-- and what else can it be?
12239I''m wondering if this has aught to do with all yon Carstairs affair?
12239Is it likely that with such news as that I would be troubling my head any longer about other folks''lives and deaths?
12239Is it likely, now, such a man would be without letters and that sort of thing in his pockets?
12239Is it that you''re thinking about?"
12239Is she safe?
12239Is that attempted murder, or is n''t it?
12239It was odd that she should come down-- had I better not ride up the town and see her?
12239It would be a queer thing now, would n''t it, if we got some clue to all this through him?
12239Lindsey?"
12239Lindsey?"
12239Lindsey?"
12239Lindsey?"
12239Lindsey?"
12239Lindsey?"
12239Lindsey?"
12239Lindsey?"
12239Look here, you''re a lawyer''s clerk?"
12239Maybe your mother, Hugh, can find Mrs. Hanson a lodging?"
12239Moneylaws?"
12239Moneylaws?"
12239Mr. Lindsey,"he went on,"what are you going to do as regards this man that''s lying dead upstairs?
12239Now Hollins was lying dead in the old ruin, and the other man was a fugitive-- and where was he?
12239Now then, how far is it to this place where the girl was going?"
12239Now then, sergeant!--what is all this about Miss Dunlop?
12239Now what is this about your daughter, Mr. Dunlop?
12239Now, then, what''s this you were saying?--that Crone told you there was a man in the place would give his two eyes to see him a corpse?"
12239Now, then-- do you see who was one of the witnesses to the will?
12239Now, what do you make of it?"
12239Now, will you bring Mr. Lindsey to see me in the morning-- if he comes?"
12239Of course, Hollins has been in at all this-- but now-- who''s killed Hollins?
12239Or had that man been there, witnessed the murder, and gone away, frightened to stop where the murder had been done?
12239Or-- yet again-- was this some man who had come upon Mr. Gilverthwaite''s correspondent, and, for some reason, been murdered by him?
12239Police, and murderers, and Irish--""Did she say why she wanted me?"
12239Smeaton?"
12239Smeaton?"
12239Smeaton?"
12239So you''d better put it this way: since Gilverthwaite sent me to meet some man at the place where this murder''s been committed-- well?"
12239Somebody must meet this friend o''mine, and tonight-- and why should n''t you have ten pound as well as another?"
12239The present holder, or claimant, for example?
12239There had been more within his knowledge than he had let out-- but what was it?
12239Um?"
12239Very well, then-- what''s this you want me for?"
12239Was he the man I ought to have met?
12239Was it likely that I could make land?--was there ever a probability of anything coming along that would sight me?
12239Was something going on, some inquiry being made in the background of things, of which he knew and would not tell me?
12239Was this part of the general mystery?
12239Was this the man Mr. Gilverthwaite meant me to meet?
12239Was this-- was Crone''s death, murder, whatever it was-- at all connected with the previous affair of Phillips?
12239We''ve done your bidding and more-- but-- why?"
12239Well, Mr. Ridley, do you know if there are people of that name buried in your churchyard?"
12239Well, and what did you want to see me about, Mr. Moneylaws?
12239Well, it''s settled, then, Moneylaws?
12239Well, man?"
12239Well, now, it''s this-- do you know this neighbourhood well?"
12239Well, what have you to say?
12239What are we to understand by it, Lindsey?"
12239What did Nance Maguire want of me?
12239What do you know of Mr. Gilverthwaite, now?"
12239What do you know of yon man except that he''s a stranger that never speaks to a soul in the place, and wanders about like he was spying things?
12239What do you make of it at all?"
12239What do you say, now?"
12239What does all that prove but that it was from Liverpool he came?"
12239What for did you not let on in your evidence that you saw Sir Gilbert Carstairs at yon cross- roads just before you found the dead man?
12239What is it all about-- and who''s going to piece it all together?
12239What is it you can tell me?"
12239What is your opinion?"
12239What more likely than that in the course of such a life he made acquaintance with queer characters, and-- possibly-- did some queer things himself?
12239What of him?"
12239What particular registers did this man examine?
12239What should I know?"
12239What time can I look in this afternoon, Mr. Smeaton, to get a glance at those letters?"
12239What took place between Phillips''s walking out of that inn at Coldstream Bridge and your finding of his body?
12239What was Mr. Lindsey hinting, suggesting?
12239What was it that Crone advised we should wait for?
12239What was that deep old fish Gilverthwaite after?
12239What would a man be paying ten pounds for to anybody just to take a message?
12239What would he be doing now, a friend of Gilverthwaite''s?"
12239What''s Lindsey trying to get at in his defence of this man Carter?"
12239What''s the meaning of it?"
12239What''s the old saying--''Some achieve greatness, some have greatness thrust upon them!''--eh?
12239What''s the police doing?"
12239What, Portlethorpe, do you know of Sir Gilbert Carstairs?"
12239When Sir Gilbert came back at your father''s death, did you recognize him?"
12239When did you last see Sir Gilbert Carstairs?"
12239Where are they?"
12239Where are you going now?"
12239Where did he send the money from?"
12239Where had Gilverthwaite last come from when he struck Liverpool, and set himself up with new clothes and linen?
12239Where had he been, then?"
12239Where''s Sir Gilbert, Moneylaws?"
12239Who did him to his death?
12239Who is there-- who could there be that wanted to see Crone''s dead body?
12239Who met Phillips?
12239Who was he, then?
12239Who''s that young fellow?"
12239Who?"
12239Whose is it?"
12239Why at such a place, and at such an hour?
12239Why did n''t he come straight to me?
12239Why should Maisie be"unaccountably"missing?
12239Why should not the two of us go to the police and tell what we knew?
12239Why was that change of clothes made?
12239Why, then, had I not told her of this?
12239Why, then, should he counsel waiting?
12239Why?
12239Why?
12239Will you do that?"
12239Will you keep silence?"
12239Will you smoke a cigar?"
12239Would Mr. Gilverthwaite have been murdered, too, if he had come there in person?
12239Would Mr. Gilverthwaite know who the man was?
12239You ca n''t think, now, of how, or why, yon Phillips man could have got that bit of letter paper of yours on him?
12239You did?
12239You do n''t mean that?"
12239You have n''t thought of following anything up yourself, Mr. Moneylaws, I suppose?"
12239You remember Hollins said Lady Carstairs went off on her bicycle?
12239You say you''ve never seen him for thirty years, or more?
12239You''ll be for getting the next train to Berwick?"
12239You''ll be having business in the town for a while?"
12239You''ll be on your way to the office, likely?"
12239You''ll be stopping in the town a day or two?
12239You''ll be sure to send me the newspaper?"
12239You''ll go?
12239You''ll keep me informed?"
12239You''ll know that yourself, of course?"
12239You''ll take the post?"
12239You''re a clerk to Mr. Lindsey, the solicitor?"
12239You''re going, then?"
12239You''re sure you never set eyes on Sir Gilbert again after he and Hollins stopped you?"
12239You''ve been drinking hard-- are you sober enough to talk sense?
12239You''ve maybe had a young lady yourself one time or another-- you''ll understand what I''m feeling about it?"
12239You''ve read all about this Berwick mystery in the newspapers?"
12239You''ve some message for me?"
12239Your mother''ll be a widow woman, now?"
12239exclaimed Chisholm, triumphantly;"Peebles it was-- and now, how do you think this affair looks?
12239he exclaimed, jerking his thumb at the dead man;"that-- that''s the man you were to meet?"
12239he said,"Panama, now?
12239or had he kept something back?
12239said he,"what''s the meaning of it, young man?
12239what did I say?"
17063Alone?
17063Already?
17063Am I late?
17063Am I to accept that as a statement of your opinion of me?
17063Am I?
17063An absolute monarchy,Hester said, smiling,"would be really the most logical form of Government, then?
17063And Mannering''s speech?
17063And Sir Leslie Borrowdean?
17063And afterwards?
17063And may I ask why you changed your mind?
17063And she will you?
17063And signed them?
17063And since?
17063And the alternative?
17063And this telegram?
17063And under whose chaperonage were you?
17063And what are you going to do?
17063And when it is spent?
17063And who,she asked,"was this prophet who came to you and talked like this?"
17063And you are returning-- when?
17063And you could not dissuade him?
17063And you have nothing more to say?
17063And you would kiss me sometimes, Lawrence?
17063And you, Blanche?
17063Any particular person?
17063Are these people who are generally accounted respectable?
17063Are we wise, Lawrence,she whispered,"if indeed you love me?
17063Are you engaged to her?
17063Are you in earnest, Borrowdean?
17063Are you in love with the Duchess still, Lawrence?
17063Are you my friend,Mannering asked, quietly,"that you wish to pry behind the curtain of my life?
17063Are you serious, my dear Mannering?
17063Are you serious?
17063Are you very much occupied, Mr. Mannering,she asked, lightly,"or could you spare me a moment?"
17063At Bristow?
17063Borrowdean, will you come this way?
17063Borrowdean?
17063But are you never at all lonely?
17063But have you ever tried to discharge it? 17063 But my dear sir,"he said,"what is your grievance against me?
17063But since you have discovered our little secret, do n''t you think that you had better speak to our hostess?
17063But the other woman?
17063But what on earth does he mean?
17063But where on earth have you come from?
17063But where,he asked,"are the roses?"
17063But your train?
17063But, my dear child,she protested,"what can I do?
17063By the bye, did you notice that he is included in the house party at Sandringham again this week?
17063By the bye, do you think that she is likely to have mentioned my name to him?
17063Can you be analytical and yet remain within the orbit of my understanding?
17063Can you deny that you are plotting to keep my husband out of Parliament now, just as a few months ago you plotted to bring him back? 17063 Can you really spare it, Sir Leslie?"
17063Can you spare me five minutes?
17063Change?
17063Cowards?
17063Did I understand you to say-- five hundred and eighty- seven pounds?
17063Did n''t you once tell me at Blakely that politics for a woman was a mischosen profession-- that we were at once too obstinate and too sentimental? 17063 Did you say that we were to have coffee outside, Lord Redford?
17063Did you see this from Richard Fardell?
17063Do I understand, Hester,he asked,"that you have been to see the Duchess?--that you have spoken of these things to her?"
17063Do n''t some of you want to come down to the rocks and watch it?
17063Do n''t you really care for any games at all, Sir Leslie?
17063Do n''t you think,he said,"that we should make better friends than enemies?"
17063Do you honestly think he''s any the better for it?
17063Do you know her real name?
17063Do you know the man, I wonder?
17063Do you know the substance of his communication?
17063Do you know-- isn''t that Major Bristow?
17063Do you mean that it was your sense of duty which was awakened?
17063Do you mean to give up your seat?
17063Do you mean to go on playing?
17063Do you mean to say,she inquired, deliberately,"that they allowed you to play-- and lose?"
17063Do you mind explaining yourself?
17063Do you mind putting me down here?
17063Do you need a wrap, or are you sufficiently acclimatized?
17063Do you really want to know, mother?
17063Do you think that he seems quite as contented?
17063Do you think that you had better?
17063Do you want a bribe?
17063Do you wonder that I am surprised?
17063Does anything ever do that?
17063Does he still ask you many questions about Mr. Mannering, mother?
17063Does n''t this force your hand a little, Mannering?
17063Duchess,Borrowdean said,"have you-- forgive a blunt question-- but have you any influence over him?"
17063Engaged to Major Bristow? 17063 For me?"
17063Good Heavens!--and why not?
17063Has Borrowdean anything to do with this?
17063Has any one written more convincingly than you? 17063 Has he been making love to any one?"
17063Has it ever occurred to you,he asked,"that the time is likely to come when Mannering might want his money for himself?
17063Has mine been such a successful life, do you think, that you need grudge me a little happiness towards its close?
17063Has time done nothing to heal it?
17063Have you any idea how much they come to?
17063Have you ever considered the fact that any coolness there may be between Lawrence Mannering and myself is entirely due to you?
17063Have you forgotten?
17063Have you got the brandy and soda, Hester?
17063Have you made any other confidants?
17063Have you nothing to say to me?
17063He follows me-- everywhere, and--"You do not by any chance, I suppose, owe him money?
17063He is a friend of hers, then?
17063He is not ill, I hope?
17063He is to be Premier, then?
17063Hester, did you ever see anything more quaint?
17063Hester, have you thought over what I said to you last time I was here?
17063Hester,he asked,"do you know any one-- a man named Borrowdean?
17063How can I answer you?
17063How can it concern you? 17063 How can you ask me such a question as that?"
17063How can you think me such a child?
17063How dared you keep away from me all this time? 17063 How do you know?
17063How long have you been here?
17063How much did you lose?
17063How much longer can you stay away from England, Lawrence?
17063How much more?
17063How often did you take him?
17063However, since you have tried to stare me out of countenance, what do you find?
17063I am afraid it will upset mother, and it is not pleasant for you, is it?
17063I am allowed,he said,"some short space of time for consideration?"
17063I ask you again-- why do you talk of going back, like a city slave whose days of holiday are over? 17063 I could scarcely come sooner, could I?"
17063I did not wish to disturb you here, Borrowdean,he said, quickly,"but if your call is over, could you come away for a few minutes?
17063I do look chippy, do n''t I?
17063I have no wish to go away,the girl said, softly,"and I do n''t think that we interfere with one another very much, do we?
17063I must drive back home, and-- and--"And what?
17063I presume that nothing short of that will satisfy you?
17063I remember that in those days,she continued, reflectively,"you were very firm indeed, or was it my poor arguments that were at fault?
17063I wonder,she said,"would you mind dining here alone with me?
17063I''ve sponged on you all my life, and you''re not a rich man, are you, Lawrence? 17063 I?
17063If I do,Mannering answered,"do you imagine that I consider myself your debtor?
17063If I do,he asked, with a note of fierceness in his tone,"whose fault is it?
17063If you had to form a Government, then,Berenice asked,"you would not choose the members from one party?"
17063In Chelsea, in Merton Street?
17063In what way?
17063Is he upstairs?
17063Is it an expedition for the day that you are planning?
17063Is it so very extraordinary a question?
17063Is it so wonderful?
17063Is my uncle up?
17063Is n''t it my husband against whom you are scheming? 17063 Is n''t she?"
17063Is n''t that Clara playing croquet with Major Bristow? 17063 Is she a connection of yours?"
17063Is she a neighbour of yours?
17063Is she a widow?
17063Is that Master Ronaldson?
17063Is that what you are driving at all the time?
17063Is there any object to be gained by this conversation?
17063Is there any remuneration?
17063Is there anything which you could tell me about her?
17063Is this true?
17063Is this worth discussing between us?
17063It is quite an age since we met, is n''t it?
17063It must always be so?
17063Lawrence,she said, quietly,"will you imagine for a moment that we are back again at Blakely?"
17063Mannering, you will drink to that, I hope?
17063Mannering,he said, slowly,"am I to take it that you have spoken your last word?
17063Marry you?
17063May I ask, does Mannering know you as Mrs. Handsell only?
17063May I ask,Mannering continued,"in whose house my niece was permitted to lose this sum?"
17063May I give you a word of advice?
17063May I inquire into the circumstances-- of this-- somewhat remarkable proceeding?
17063May I inquire,Borrowdean asked, blandly,"how much longer you intend to exist here with him?"
17063May I pass on, Duchess, in connexion with this matter, to ask you a somewhat more personal question?
17063May I?
17063May n''t I make you some Russian tea? 17063 Might I suggest,"he said, in a low tone,"that we postpone our conversation till after breakfast time?
17063Might one ask in what direction?
17063More than three hundred?
17063Mr. Mannering, I believe?
17063Mr. Mannering,Polden said,"I quite appreciate your attitude, but do you really think it is a wise one?
17063Must we take it, then, Mannering,Lord Redford said, gravely,"that you are prepared to support the administering of the medicine you spoke of?"
17063Must you really go?
17063My dear Lawrence,she said,"has politics done this, or are you ill?"
17063My dear Sir Leslie,she said, a little reproachfully,"was this really necessary?
17063My dear child,she exclaimed, as Clara came into the room,"what have you been doing with yourself?
17063My dear lady,he said,"is this discussion really worth while?"
17063My dear sir,he exclaimed,"do I look like a robber?
17063My wife?
17063Not her real name? 17063 Only thieves are a cut above us, are n''t they?"
17063Paris?
17063Parkins''s mistress, I mean?
17063Parkins, is that you?
17063Perhaps you think that I ought not to ask?
17063Political business?
17063Shall I tell you more? 17063 Shall I wait while you finish your game?"
17063She has done typing for him for some time, has n''t she?
17063Tell me,he begged,"exactly what that wrinkled forehead means?"
17063Tell me,she asked,"what this means from a practical point of view?
17063Tell me,she said,"as a friend, what are your plans?
17063That is my name,Mannering answered,"but if you want to speak to me why do n''t you come up like a man, instead of dogging my footsteps?
17063The pity of the whole thing is obvious enough, is n''t it? 17063 Then it is to be good- bye?"
17063Then the story is true?
17063Then the telegram,Mannering asked,"was n''t that from you?"
17063Then what about this telegram?
17063Then what does it matter? 17063 Then what is your scheme?"
17063Then where do you come in?
17063There is n''t much honour about an arrangement of this sort, is there?
17063There is nothing else wrong?
17063There is truth in it?
17063To Sir Leslie Borrowdean?
17063To forget what?
17063To- night?
17063Truth strikes home, you know, and it hurts just a little, does n''t it? 17063 Uncle, what is it that makes you such a hermit?"
17063Under whom?
17063Was he drunk or sober?
17063We go on-- apart?
17063Well,she said,"what is it?"
17063Well?
17063Well?
17063Well?
17063Well?
17063Well?
17063Were there-- so many mistakes?
17063What about me?
17063What about the paragraph?
17063What are you doing afterwards?
17063What are you doing there all by yourself?
17063What are you doing this afternoon?
17063What became of the woman?
17063What can I have the pleasure of doing for you?
17063What can we do with him?
17063What did they say was the reason?
17063What difference does that make? 17063 What do you know about that?"
17063What do you want here?
17063What do you want me to do?
17063What do you want with me?
17063What does this change in your wife mean?
17063What for?
17063What has Borrowdean to do with this?
17063What has my name to do with you, sir?
17063What have I done,Mannering murmured,"that I should be sent back to kindergarten?
17063What have you been doing to Sir Leslie?
17063What have you been doing with yourself, Lawrence? 17063 What is the amount?"
17063What is the use of thinking?
17063What made you come out again?
17063What made you send for me this evening?
17063What news from Leeds?
17063What on earth for?
17063What shall you do with him?
17063What should you think, then,Borrowdean asked, watching his friend through half- closed eyes,"of those who sought to drag you from it?"
17063What sort of a man are you, Lawrence Mannering?
17063What was it that man who wrote in the_ Nineteenth Century_ called you last week? 17063 What was it that she gave you?
17063What was that you said just now?
17063What was your wife saying to you?
17063What were you doing following me, on tiptoe, with this in your hand?
17063What would you like to do?
17063What would?
17063What yer want?
17063What, to- night?
17063Where did you meet him first?
17063Where have you been for the last few weeks?
17063Where is Richard?
17063Where is he?
17063Where is she?
17063Where is your mother?
17063Where is your wife?
17063Whether I am or not,she answered,"what business is it of yours?"
17063Which of these clubs now,he asked,"rejoices in that weird name?"
17063Whilst we are about it, can we invent a cause?
17063Who is she?
17063Who knows-- this?
17063Who was your visitor?
17063Who won?
17063Why do you ask me such a question?
17063Why do you try to make me so uncomfortable, Hester? 17063 Why fight alone,"she murmured,"when she is willing to come to you?"
17063Why not now, then?
17063Why not? 17063 Why not?"
17063Why not?
17063Why not?
17063Why not?
17063Why not?
17063Why not?
17063Why not?
17063Why not?
17063Why on earth are you looking at me like that, child? 17063 Why should I?"
17063Why take that for granted?
17063Why-- is there anything wrong?
17063Why? 17063 Why?"
17063Why?
17063Why?
17063Will he have the nerve to grasp it?
17063Will you forgive me if I leave you? 17063 Will you marry me, please?"
17063Will you not trust me, then? 17063 Will you pardon me,"Borrowdean asked,"if I make a remark which may sound a little impertinent?
17063Will you pardon me,he said,"if I remark that this conversation has no particular interest for me?
17063Will you tell me,she asked,"what it is that he wants of you?"
17063With whom?
17063Wo n''t you be a little more explicit?
17063Wo n''t you come and see me?
17063Wo n''t you come into the house with me?
17063Would you like him,he asked,"to go back into political life?"
17063Would you like,she asked,"to take me out to dinner?"
17063Yet who are the responsible members of it? 17063 You agree with me, surely, Blanche?
17063You are Mr. Lawrence Mannering?
17063You are content, then, to let your husband drift back into his old relations with the Duchess? 17063 You are not engaged to Major Bristow by any chance, are you?"
17063You are not losing confidence in yourself, surely?
17063You are prepared, then, to deny this man Parkins''s story?
17063You are sure about the three hundred?
17063You can not be in earnest?
17063You cared like that?
17063You did n''t take a pair?
17063You do n''t really mean that, Sir Leslie?
17063You do not believe, then,Berenice said,"that he is sufficiently in earnest to grasp it?"
17063You do not doubt it, Berenice?
17063You have made up your mind?
17063You have n''t any idea of taking poison, or anything of that sort, I suppose, have you?
17063You have no idea who it was, I suppose?
17063You have told him this?
17063You know what has happened?
17063You know who I am with, uncle?
17063You mean that she would not let you go?
17063You mean to dine with him then, mother?
17063You mean, then, that you-- that his party want him to go back?
17063You mean?
17063You must tell me about this-- or--"Or?
17063You really mean to deny it, then?
17063You remember Hester, do n''t you? 17063 You saw him?"
17063You see those yellow sandhills beyond the marshes there? 17063 You threaten?"
17063You were in the House?
17063You will go on-- in the face of this?
17063You wish for a reply,Lord Redford said,"only in general terms?"
17063You wished to see me, Sir Leslie?
17063You wo n''t trust me?
17063You would rather have remained in ignorance, then?
17063You''re in earnest?
17063You-- were you coming in?
17063***** What strange whim, or evil fate, had turned his feet in that direction?
17063Am I asking too much?
17063Am I not a different woman?
17063And besides--"Who is the woman?"
17063And if he does ask me questions, I''m not obliged to answer them, am I?
17063And what have you been doing with yourself?"
17063And what have you decided?"
17063And what''s it all come to?
17063And why do n''t you?"
17063And yet, how much the better off do you think I am, Lawrence?
17063And yet-- he wondered-- was this what she had hoped for?
17063Are there any golf links?"
17063Are you Lawrence''s enemy?"
17063Are you going over to the other side, Lawrence?"
17063Are you ill?"
17063Are you prepared for this?"
17063Are you prepared to undertake this campaign which we planned out a few months ago?"
17063Are-- our friends going to remain?"
17063Ask me again some time, wo n''t you?
17063Berenice asked, quietly,"or is this experience enough for you?"
17063But it does n''t alter things, does it?
17063But seriously, if he told the truth, now, after all these years, would any one take any notice of it?"
17063But supposing she found him out?
17063But we are different, are n''t we?
17063But what in God''s name do I get out of it?"
17063But would it answer?"
17063But your being down here does n''t look very much like that, does it?"
17063By the bye, where is Mary?
17063By the bye, where''s that nice young man who used to be always with you down in the country?"
17063By the bye, where''s your uncle this morning?"
17063By the bye, why does your partner, Mr. Lindsay, is n''t it, walk by himself all the time?"
17063Ca n''t you understand, Hester?"
17063Can you advise me?"
17063Can you explain what this means, Sir Leslie Borrowdean?"
17063Can you name no price which I could pay?
17063Can you send me to the station, Mannering?"
17063Come into the billiard- room afterwards, Mannering, will you?
17063Dare he risk it?
17063Deadly weapon, is n''t it, sir?
17063Did n''t you worm the whole miserable story out of me?"
17063Did she mean me to starve, eh?
17063Do n''t I know what low tricks you are capable of?
17063Do n''t you know that the only supreme wisdom is the wisdom of the child?
17063Do n''t you know,"she continued, after a moment''s pause,"that-- she understood?
17063Do n''t you see that the imperialism which you are a little disposed to shrug your shoulders at is the most logical and complete cure for all this?
17063Do n''t you think her very handsome?"
17063Do n''t you understand-- that she loves you?"
17063Do you catch that breath of wind?
17063Do you find me changed?
17063Do you know of one?"
17063Do you know what it has made of me, this promise?"
17063Do you know what they call you in the North, sir?"
17063Do you know where Parkins is now?"
17063Do you know where he is now?"
17063Do you know?"
17063Do you mind discussing it with me?"
17063Do you regret, or are you glad to have been forced out once more upon the world''s stage?"
17063Do you remember?
17063Do you think that I could have existed here for nearly two months without him?"
17063Do you think that I''m to be turned inside out like a schoolgirl?"
17063Do you understand?
17063Do you wish you were free very much?
17063Eh?
17063Even now-- what could the man mean?
17063Gratify my curiosity, wo n''t you?
17063Had he given her what she had the right to expect?
17063Had he indeed received value for the price he had paid?
17063Had he not tacitly accepted the whole situation?
17063Had he succeeded?
17063Handsell?"
17063Has any one any fault to find with me?
17063Has anything come between us as man and woman?"
17063Have yer brought the money?
17063He asked Hester a sudden question:"Hester, is your mother happy?"
17063He has gone into the land of ghosts-- or are we the ghosts, I wonder, who loiter here?"
17063Heavens, who''s this?"
17063Hester came out with a message from Lady Redford-- would Mrs. Mannering care to motor over to Berneval for luncheon?
17063How can I answer your question, indeed?
17063How can he be content?
17063How can you possibly imagine that the imposition of tariff duties is the sovereign, or even a possible, remedy?
17063How do you people spend your time here?"
17063How is your uncle?"
17063How much is Borrowdean giving you for this?"
17063How much more of himself was he bound to surrender?
17063How will it effect your plans?"
17063I am sorry, but there was always this possibility, was n''t there?"
17063I am sure that you find her so, do n''t you?"
17063I am to write my mission down a failure?"
17063I brought him here--""Well?"
17063I ca n''t take him by storm, can I?"
17063I presume that you know what they were?"
17063I suppose I may have that?"
17063I suppose you knew that some unheard- of aunt had left her fifty thousand pounds?"
17063I suppose you will admit that I have some claim?"
17063I think you said that the investments were sound, Mannering?"
17063I want looking after, do n''t I?
17063I wonder if Lord Redford would approve of your methods?"
17063I''m the child''s mother, am I not?"
17063If so, was he doing his duty?
17063If you are disappointed with the result what concern is that of mine?
17063If you do not deserve rest who does?"
17063If you want a rich wife why do n''t you propose to Clara Mannering?
17063Is anything wrong with him?"
17063Is n''t that foolish?
17063Is n''t this another proof of it?
17063Is that you, Mr. Ronaldson, sir?"
17063Is there any small misunderstanding which a common friend-- such as I trust I may call myself-- might help to smooth away?"
17063Is this true?"
17063It is n''t a pleasant title, is it?"
17063It is n''t so bad as he makes out, I suppose?"
17063It is scarcely worthy of you, is it?
17063Mannering?"
17063Mannering?"
17063May I stay until to- morrow and walk round with you whilst you play your foursome?
17063May we have our foursome to- morrow?"
17063No?
17063Now how can I prevent it?"
17063Now tell me, do you owe me nothing else?"
17063Now what do you want down here?"
17063Now where do you come in?"
17063Now, can nothing be done with Mannering?"
17063Now, do you think that that is enough to satisfy one?
17063One of them was really delightful when I showed him where his ball was, but I ca n''t consider that an introduction, can I?
17063Poor little girl, are you disappointed?"
17063Say, are yer going to pay his rent?"
17063Seriously, though, these rustic seats are rather a delusion, are n''t they, from the point of view of comfort?"
17063Shall I see you to- night, I wonder, at Esholt House?"
17063Shall I tell you when I made my mistake?"
17063Shall we meet them on the last green?"
17063Shall we move on to- morrow?"
17063She is somewhat notorious, is she not?"
17063She must have known this, but did she understand that he was not prepared to make any effort to accept the inevitable?
17063Sir Leslie Borrowdean?"
17063Sir Leslie has told you of my telegrams?"
17063So you are interested in politics, Miss Mannering?"
17063Suppose she should fail to see in his face her justification?
17063Suppose-- he should not be glad?
17063Supposing I asked you to make me that offer again?"
17063Surely he had made himself understood?
17063Surely she could have no scruples?
17063Tell me that, will you?"
17063Tell me what made you change your mind?"
17063Tell me, are you going to see Sir Leslie Borrowdean again, mother?"
17063That is Matapan Point, is n''t it, where the hidden rocks are?"
17063That is all very well for you, but how about the rest?
17063That is true, is n''t it?"
17063That''s what you mean, is n''t it?
17063The shelter of his name and home, what were those to a warm- hearted woman, if she loved him?
17063The sorrows of one man, what were they to the breaking hearts of millions?
17063Then what do you propose, to light the forges and fill the mills?
17063They play cards there, do n''t they, until daylight?
17063This is your wife, is it not?
17063Uncle, do you know when Mrs. Handsell is coming back?
17063Was he satisfied with the result?
17063Was it his fancy, or was there a gleam of satisfaction about her still, pale face?
17063Was n''t it you who once scoffed at my idyll in the wilderness?"
17063Was not he a man and free, and was not she a woman?
17063Was she to let him go without an effort?
17063Was there anything ever sweeter than the perfume from that hedge of honeysuckle?
17063Was this a piece of unparalleled good fortune, or simply a trick of the fates to tempt him on to catastrophe?
17063Was this frame of mind of his a sign of it, she wondered?
17063Well, what do you expect?"
17063Were you born into the world, do you think, to loiter through life an idle worshipper at the altar of beauty?
17063What about me?"
17063What about the rest?"
17063What about us?
17063What are you willing to pay for it?"
17063What can one do on that?
17063What claim has this woman Blanche Phillimore upon you?"
17063What claim has this woman upon you?"
17063What could be known?
17063What do you think his answer was?"
17063What do you think of it?"
17063What do you think of my little house?"
17063What do you want with her?"
17063What do you want?"
17063What does it matter to you how my days are spent, or what manner of use I make of them?"
17063What does it matter, anyhow?
17063What does it mean?
17063What does it mean?
17063What does that telegram mean?"
17063What has happened?
17063What have I done to change you so?
17063What have I had since, Lawrence?"
17063What have you to offer me in place of your name and yourself?
17063What if all this labour and self- denial should be in vain?
17063What if his strength should go?
17063What is it that you have in your hand?"
17063What is that you are hiding up your sleeve?"
17063What is there in the world more beautiful than the gifts the gods shower on us here?
17063What is your true reason for making a scrap- heap of your career?"
17063What right had he to build upon that?
17063What right had he, as a man of principle, with a great following, to run even the risk of being led away by false prophets?
17063What right, as an honest man, to contract a debt he never meant to pay?
17063What sacrifice are you prepared to make?"
17063What should you recommend?"
17063What to do?
17063What was it?"
17063What was there left?
17063What was this leaven of weakness in the man, she wondered, which had so suddenly broken him down?
17063Whatever will Perkins say?
17063When do you poor creatures get your holiday, Sir Leslie?"
17063Where?
17063Who are you to dare to skulk in the quiet places, whilst the battle of life is fought by others?"
17063Who was he that he should set himself on a pedestal?
17063Why ca n''t you leave me and my affairs alone?
17063Why could n''t he leave me alone?"
17063Why did he come to see you again so soon?"
17063Why did he give it up?
17063Why did n''t you sign it?"
17063Why did you trouble in the matter at all?
17063Why do n''t you come when I ask you?
17063Why do n''t you forget, Lawrence, as I have done?
17063Why do n''t you go and take a walk, instead of hammering away at that old typewriter?
17063Why do n''t you go away?
17063Why do n''t you take your coat off and play the game?"
17063Why do you act as though I were something to be avoided?"
17063Why do you ask me this?"
17063Why do you wish us to be friends?"
17063Why had she let loose this flood of memories?
17063Why is he not in Parliament now?"
17063Why must you think of leaving this place?
17063Why need you go at all?"
17063Why not throw down the cards?
17063Why not, indeed?
17063Why should I commit myself to an unpleasant task for the sake of you and your friends?"
17063Why should I keep silence, and let it go on to the end?
17063Why should it be too late?
17063Why should she not try them upon him-- this man who loved her, who seemed willing to sacrifice both their lives to a piece of senseless quixoticism?
17063Why should she?
17063Why were men born, he wondered, with such a prodigious capacity for playing the fool?
17063Why, how long have you been here?"
17063Will he be as happy, I wonder, when you have gone, when there is no longer a Mrs. Handsell?
17063Will you allow me to walk with you towards your home?
17063Will you have them from me?"
17063Will you listen to me patiently for a moment?"
17063Will you marry me-- and try to care a little?"
17063Will you marry me?
17063Will you presume that I am your friend, and let us consider the whole matter afresh together?"
17063Will you read it?"
17063Will you see about a room for her, and lend her anything she requires?"
17063Will you tell me that, sir?"
17063Will you wait here while I find a hat?"
17063Will you walk round to the stables with me?
17063Wo n''t you walk round with us?
17063You are a Cabinet Minister, are you not, Sir Leslie?"
17063You are always trying to turn the other side out, are n''t you?"
17063You are going out?"
17063You are pleased with it, are n''t you?
17063You do n''t want to see me go mad, do you?"
17063You have heard of her last escapade at Bristow?"
17063You have some other plans, perhaps?"
17063You know that I am an orphan, do n''t you?
17063You know that she has left me?"
17063You know, perhaps, that I am living with him now as his secretary?"
17063You like it here, I hope?"
17063You must agree with me?"
17063You must live in London to be a politician, must n''t you?"
17063You read the reports this morning?"
17063You understand me?"
17063You understand?"
17063You were in London last week?"
17063You were very nice and very kind to me last night, but it was n''t the real thing, was it?
17063You''ve had some tea, I hope?
17063he exclaimed,"what do you want with me?"
17063he remarked,"that you were not aware of having an enemy in the world?
17063she added, with a sudden change of manner,"that I must do something to help me to forget?
17063she asked,"this rumour?"
17103A little instruction?
17103A proposition?
17103About those beans?
17103About those oddments of furniture?
17103Ai n''t you coming back?
17103Alfred Burton,she continued, impressively,"for the dear land''s sake, what''s come over you?
17103Alfred Burton,she said,"why do n''t you drop all this foolishness?
17103Alfred,she exclaimed,"you do n''t mean to say you''re coming out with us like that-- coming to the band, too, where we shall meet everyone?"
17103All?
17103Am I to be taken for a ride this evening?
17103And my hat?
17103And one bean?
17103And why are you dressed like-- like a house- painter on a Sunday?
17103And why?
17103And yet he took it?
17103And you?
17103And your father?
17103Another girl, I suppose?
17103Any name?
17103Any necessity?
17103Any one at home?
17103Anything else?
17103Anything else?
17103Anything else?
17103Are n''t you pleased about it?
17103Are those the things?
17103Are we not on the hill top, dear?
17103Are you in earnest?
17103Are you quite sure,he asked,"of your symptoms?"
17103Are you sure of that?
17103Are you very much in love?
17103Art?
17103Back again this afternoon, sir?
17103Backed a horse?
17103Because I have a wife at Garden Green?
17103Been striking it thick, have n''t you?
17103Been to the theatre lately?
17103Before long you''ll be very glad, eh?
17103Before we do another thing,he suggested,"let''s go round to the Golden Lion and have just one bottle of beer-- just to feel what it''s like, eh?"
17103Bit late, are n''t you?
17103Business all right, I hope?
17103But look here, Burton, can you tell me what''s happened to the other people?
17103But who told him?
17103But why did you write it?
17103But why?
17103Ca n''t you stay a bit longer?
17103Can I give you a lift?
17103Can you guess what has happened?
17103Cigarette taste all right now?
17103Could n''t have been quite at your best, could you, Mr. Burton, sir? 17103 Could n''t stop somewhere and have a little supper, could we?"
17103Could n''t you?
17103Covent Garden at half- past three?
17103Dear,she said softly in his ear,"you are such a dreamer, are n''t you-- such a dear unpractical person?
17103Did he send for you?
17103Did he-- did Mr. Waddington obtain any clue as to the whereabouts of the missing property?
17103Did n''t you hear us mention him? 17103 Did you dress in a hurry, Burton?"
17103Did you hear that? 17103 Did you wish to buy any fruit, sir?"
17103Do n''t like my what?
17103Do n''t you know what has happened?
17103Do n''t you really know?
17103Do n''t you think,Burton suggested doubtfully,"that there might be an opening in the profession for an auctioneer who told the truth?"
17103Do you feel any different?
17103Do you happen to have eaten anything just lately?
17103Do you hear that, Edith? 17103 Do you know,"he continued, dropping his voice and looking around him anxiously,"that I''ve taken to reading Ruskin?
17103Do you mean to say this is going on?
17103Do you mean to say you are going about like that?
17103Do you mean to tell me that a bean would work all this mischief in the child?
17103Do you mean, young man,he exclaimed,"that you refuse to join us?"
17103Do you really mean that you want to play it at the present moment?
17103Do you think my three beans would get me in on the ground floor?
17103Do you think that it is n''t a nightmare for me, too?
17103Does Mr. Sherwell understand,he asked,"that the remainder of the suite is different entirely from the table?"
17103Does Mr. Waddington know about it?
17103Does he come here to see you?
17103Does he mention anything about beans?
17103Doing to the boy?
17103Eh? 17103 Ellen,"he began,"you have perhaps noticed a certain change in me during the last few weeks?"
17103Ellen,he faltered,"do n''t you want me back?"
17103Ever known him like it before?
17103Father, may I have it?
17103Finished?
17103Going strong, eh?
17103Got anything to do this afternoon particular?
17103Has any one been letting on to him about it, do you think?
17103Has he come into a fortune, or what?
17103Have a drink?
17103Have n''t I been in for months?
17103Have n''t been home lately, have you?
17103Have n''t forgotten you''re taking us to the band, have you?
17103Have n''t we lived for ten years, husband and wife, at Clematis Villa, and you as happy and satisfied with his home as a man could be? 17103 Have you asked yourself,"Mr. Bomford demanded, impressively,"whether you have a right to treat your other self in this fashion?
17103Have you gone dotty, Alfred?
17103Have you gone mad, Burton? 17103 Have you lost your tongue or your wits or what?"
17103Have you read it, sir?
17103Have you robbed a bank and going about in disguise, eh? 17103 Have you seen all those advertisements of brain foods?
17103Have you touched the money in the Savings Bank?
17103Have you?
17103He what?
17103He''s left you, has n''t he?
17103Heard about your novel yet?
17103How do you do, sir?
17103How have you been getting along, eh?
17103How many beans have you left?
17103How much shall you pay me for it?
17103How often does he come?
17103How on earth did you succeed in letting Idlemay House?
17103How''s the biz?
17103Hullo, Burton, you back again?
17103I am afraid that it does n''t make any difference, does it? 17103 I am sure you would not have wished me to do anything of the sort, would you?"
17103I came to ask you if you wanted to join? 17103 I hope he arrived safely?"
17103I say, mister, you''re the auctioneer''s clerk, are n''t you?
17103I suppose last night it occurred to you that it was just a trifle-- eh?--just a trifle vulgar?
17103I suppose,he ventured slowly,"I could n''t persuade you to take one?"
17103I understood from the professor,he remarked,"that your friend was not likely to care about entering into this?"
17103I want to ask you, Mr. Burton,he said,"what you think of your surroundings-- of the restaurant and your neighbors on every side?"
17103I wonder what he was getting at?
17103I wonder what your wife would say, though?
17103I wonder,he murmured,"if there is any one who could tell us what the other part of it means?"
17103If you want to come in, why ca n''t you ring the bell? 17103 If you will excuse me, then, for a few moments?"
17103Is Mr. Waddington in?
17103Is his name Paul?
17103Is it? 17103 Is it?"
17103Is it?
17103Is n''t it exquisite?
17103Is that an engagement with you on Thursday night, or is it not?
17103Is that so?
17103Is that what you think?
17103Is there any necessity to say anything to them?
17103Is there anything about that in the translation, sir?
17103Is this Mr. Waddington you''re a- speaking of a red- faced gentleman-- kind of auctioneer or agent? 17103 Is this all that''s troubling you?"
17103Is this house let?
17103Is this your father coming across the lawn?
17103Is your mistress at home?
17103It does n''t matter in what direction, does it? 17103 It really does n''t matter, does it?
17103It''s his half- holiday,Ellen replied, in a tone of disgust,"and where do you think he''s gone?
17103It''s your own house, is n''t it?
17103Kind of change in you, is n''t there?
17103Leave me one bean only? 17103 Legacy?"
17103Locked up?
17103Look here,the woman insisted,"what is it worth, anyway?"
17103May I not help you to pick up these sheets? 17103 Meeting go off all right?"
17103Miss Edith?
17103Mr. Waddington,Burton exclaimed,"the little tree on which the beans grew-- where is it?"
17103Mr. Waddington,Burton said impressively,"have you forgotten that I am a married man?"
17103Mr. Waddington,he asked,"ith it the truth that there are one or two pieces of real good stuff here, thent in by an old farmer in Kent?"
17103My dear Burton,he gasped,"whatever is the matter with you?
17103My young friend,he said,"are you going to tell me that you have seen one of these beans?"
17103Never seen Ellen, have you?
17103No idea of calling in at the Golden Lion on your way back, eh?
17103No objection to our just looking inside, I suppose?
17103No silk hat, no tail coat?
17103Not good enough for you as we are, eh?
17103Not permanent?
17103Not quite yourself, are you?
17103Nothing since-- not anything at all?
17103Nothing?
17103Nothing?
17103Perhaps you would like to have a look at these?
17103Queer sort of atmosphere in there, is n''t it?
17103Say, cocky, what have you been doing to yourself?
17103Say, do you know that young man who''s just gone out?
17103Say, you''re not getting at me for any reason, are you?
17103Say,he remarked,"you had a headache or something the other night, I think?
17103Shall we have tea out here or in the study?
17103Shall we--?
17103She is quite well, I hope?
17103Since we are upon the subject of dress, may I have a few words? 17103 Something for indigestion?"
17103Sure you mean it?
17103Surely,he protested,"you are not going to ask me to wait three months until I can examine one of these?"
17103Tell me again what your wife is like?
17103Tell me how?
17103Tell me, Burton,he asked kindly,"how did you come to do this thing?"
17103Tell me, Mr. Burton, has there been any change-- er-- in your condition?
17103Tell me, what''s become of the rugs and oddments of furniture from that little room opposite?
17103Tell me,she persisted,"did you really find the music tiresome?"
17103That so?
17103That so?
17103Thay, Waddington, old man, what''th the game, eh? 17103 The girl with the blue eyes, I suppose, whom you told me about?
17103The trouble is, how long will it be before it abandons me?
17103The what?
17103Then how the devil can you be getting on at all?
17103Then what are you doing here now?
17103Then what are you so glum about?
17103Then what,Burton asked,"is the worry?"
17103Then where on earth did all this dining- room and library furniture come from?
17103Then why is it?
17103Then will you be good enough to just explain to me why you were cracking it up like blazes only a few minutes ago?
17103This afternoon, if you could spare a few minutes?
17103Those pages say that if one eats a green leaf after the bean, the change wrought in one will become absolutely permanent?
17103To Garden Green?
17103To Miss Edith? 17103 Twenty pounds, then?
17103Unjust?
17103Was he disappointed?
17103We think too much always of consequences,he said"After this evening, what does anything matter?
17103Well, I hope you gave it to him?
17103Well, ca n''t you say you''re glad to see us?
17103Well, did you land him?
17103Well, what have you got to say?
17103Well, what is it?
17103Well?
17103Well?
17103Well?
17103What I should like to know, Alfred, is-- what''s come to you?
17103What I want to know, Alfred Burton, is first how long this tomfoolery is to last, and secondly what it all means?
17103What I want to know,Ellen continued, in a tone of some excitement,"is-- what is there coming to us for this?
17103What about me? 17103 What about my hat?
17103What about myself? 17103 What about you?"
17103What about your own red tie and dirty collar?
17103What about?
17103What are those sheets of paper you have on the table?
17103What are you afraid about?
17103What are you doing there, knocking all the plaster down?
17103What are you doing to- night?
17103What are you standing there for, looking all struck of a heap?
17103What can you do?
17103What did I say?
17103What did you keep him for? 17103 What did you say?
17103What did you tell him?
17103What do I give you forty- four shillings a week for, I should like to know? 17103 What do you do?
17103What does it matter?
17103What have you two been going on about?
17103What in hell do you suppose it all means, Burton?
17103What in the name of wonder''s the meaning of this, Alfred?
17103What is it that they want you to do?
17103What is it that you do n''t like about us, anyway? 17103 What is it that''s come to you, Alfred?"
17103What is it you want?
17103What is it you want?
17103What is it?
17103What is it?
17103What is this, Burton?
17103What made you think of writing?
17103What on earth are you staring at?
17103What on earth have you been doing, Alfred?
17103What paper have you been on?
17103What part is it that survives?
17103What price your eight and sixpenny trousers, eh, with the blue stripe and the grease stains? 17103 What the dickens do you mean, Burton?
17103What the mischief do you want to go in there for?
17103What was it? 17103 What ways?"
17103What''s changed you since yesterday?
17103What''s come to your moustache?
17103What''s it all about, anyway? 17103 What''s it all mean, anyway?"
17103What''s that you''re taking?
17103What''s that-- what''s that?
17103What''s that? 17103 What''s that?"
17103What''s the matter with them all?
17103What''s the matter with them?
17103What''s the matter with you? 17103 What''s the meaning of those clothes, eh?"
17103What, little Alf now?
17103Whatever is the matter?
17103When are you going to bring us something?
17103When shall you be down again, my young friend?
17103When was this?
17103When will you bring me some more work?
17103Where are they?
17103Where did you get the idea from?
17103Where is he this afternoon? 17103 Where to, sir?"
17103While we are upon the subject,his subordinate continued, ruthlessly,"why do n''t you give your fingernails a scrub sometimes, eh?
17103Who''s there?
17103Whose child is that?
17103Whose clothes have you been stealing? 17103 Whose wife?"
17103Why are n''t you round and amongst''em, Burton, eh? 17103 Why could n''t you have said so at once?
17103Why do n''t you chuck that rotten dickey away? 17103 Why has all this made you leave your wife and home?
17103Why have n''t you brought us anything lately?
17103Why have you brought it here, anyhow?
17103Why not? 17103 Why not?
17103Why not? 17103 Why not?"
17103Why should the new man be cursed with memory? 17103 Why should they be?"
17103Why the dickens should I stop?
17103Will Miss Edith be back to- morrow?
17103Will ten guineas be satisfactory?
17103Will you answer this one question?
17103With you? 17103 Wot yer mean?"
17103Wot yer mean?
17103Would n''t care about a game of billiards at the Golden Lion, I suppose?
17103Would you like me to go into the other room, father?
17103You are not serious?
17103You are quite sure that you mean it, sir?
17103You couldn''t-- what?
17103You do know where they are, then?
17103You do n''t mean to tell me,he exclaimed,"that this is your idea of a good time?
17103You do n''t mind, sir, do you?
17103You eat things sometimes, I suppose, daddy?
17103You expect, I suppose, to make a great deal of money?
17103You find blue-- becoming?
17103You found a change in him?
17103You have heard the translation of those sheets?
17103You mean that you would like to buy one?
17103You refuse either to come into our scheme or to give us one of the beans?
17103You remember I told you that Ellen threw them both into the street? 17103 You remember the day I went down to Garden Green?
17103You think that I should do this?
17103You were brought up in the country?
17103You were relying upon that, were you not?
17103You will drive me down to Chelsea, wo n''t you?
17103You will forgive me, wo n''t you?
17103You wrote this yourself?
17103You wrote those impressions of St. James''s Park at dawn?
17103You''re getting on to him now, are you?
17103Your car?
17103About that advertisement, is it you, Alfred, who''s to be one of the directors of this Menatogen or whatever they call it?
17103After all, if the end of things were to come this way, what did it matter?
17103After coming home regularly to your meals for six years, do you suppose you can disappear and not have people curious?
17103Am I not an interesting subject for speculation?
17103Am I your wife or not?
17103And is n''t that Mona Lisa on the walls?
17103And why is he tugging at your skirt so?"
17103And-- will you remember me to Miss Edith when she returns, professor?"
17103Anything else?"
17103Anything, surely, would be better than taking up the life of an auctioneer''s clerk once more?
17103Are they your experiences that are given here?"
17103Are you feeling absolutely your-- how shall I call it-- revised self to- day?"
17103Are you honestly telling me that they were written within the last thousand years?"
17103As a monosyllabic start to a conversation, Ellen''s"Well?"
17103At what shall we start the bidding?
17103Burton, what has come to you?"
17103Burton?"
17103Burton?"
17103Burton?"
17103Burton?"
17103But how did you know?
17103By the bye, did n''t they nearly let you that death- trap of old Lady Idlemay''s?"
17103By the bye, where is your wonderful little boy?"
17103By the way, what''s that room behind you?"
17103Ca n''t you imagine what sort of use a person like that would make of wealth?
17103Can one buy a gun for half- a- crown?"
17103Can you see ghosts?"
17103Can you tell me how to bring little Alf to himself again?
17103Can you wonder that I think of them with reverence?
17103Colored glass they are made of, are n''t they?
17103Come to a music- hall one night, Mr. Waddington, wo n''t you?
17103Committing a burglary or a murder?"
17103Could n''t you do something for him, Mr. Miller-- to oblige me, eh?"
17103Did you by any chance get religion, Burton?"
17103Did you ever see a finer, a more magnificent piece of mahogany?
17103Did you ever see a more beautiful curve?
17103Did you happen, by the bye, to glance at the boy''s collar when you put it on?"
17103Did you notice the way it lashed its tail?"
17103Did you part with all your beans?"
17103Did you part with both your beans?"
17103Do I make myself clear?
17103Do I need to tell you that I am hopelessly in love with you?"
17103Do n''t you know the way out?"
17103Do n''t you realize-- can''t you see that in acceding to our offer you will be acting the part of a philanthropist?"
17103Do n''t you want to come and have some supper, Edith?
17103Do they still have that cheese and crusty loaf there?"
17103Do you hear that?
17103Do you know anything about Assyria?"
17103Do you know that we are going to do the same thing?
17103Do you mean to say, Alfred, that you mean to go into the city like that?"
17103Do you realize what has happened?
17103Do you suppose you can leave your wife and son and not a word said or a question asked?
17103Do you think I could get in with you in the company?"
17103Do you think that we were made for unhappiness in such a world, Edith?"
17103Getting on all right, eh?
17103Go down in style, eh?
17103Got a job yet?"
17103Have I ever looked at another man, or let one touch my fingers, since the day when you put that ring on?
17103Have I ever told you a lie?
17103Have you any idea what it is that he wants?"
17103Have you changed into a blithering fool, or what?"
17103Have you ever been to Paris?"
17103Have you ever thought of travelling abroad, Burton?"
17103Have you found a title for the food yet?"
17103Have you gone crazy?"
17103Have you gone off your head, or what have we done-- me and little Alfred?"
17103Have you gone off your head?
17103Have you got those last furniture accounts?"
17103Have you motored down?"
17103Have you never used your wonderful imagination to ask yourself what money may really mean?
17103Have you no desire to travel?
17103Have you no faith in them?
17103Have you noticed my tie?"
17103Have you told him where to go to?"
17103Heard of it?"
17103How are you?"
17103How could he plan or dream like other men when the measure of the child''s existence, as of his own, could be counted by weeks?
17103How could you, out of two beans, provide a food for millions?"
17103How did the man come to write this?
17103How do you know that you can reproduce the beans at all in an artificial manner?"
17103How much shall we say for it?"
17103How was it possible for him to continue his daily life?
17103How''s the business?"
17103How''s the wife?"
17103I do n''t know who wrote this Samson and Delilah, but he was a dismal sort of beggar, was n''t he?
17103I do n''t like to mention it, but I think-- haven''t you been smoking rather too much?"
17103I do n''t suppose Mr. Waddington would let you take my place, Clarkson?"
17103I opened my mouth to tell him so, and then, Burton, do you know that I hesitated?"
17103I presume Mr. Burton will have no objection to our using his photograph on the posters?"
17103I suppose, as it''s a real oil painting, it''s worth a bit, is n''t it?"
17103I told you about that?"
17103I wonder whether he will believe them?"
17103I wonder whether you would lend me the keys?
17103I''d like to know what you''ve been doing?"
17103If not, could n''t we get some out of a library?"
17103If one might venture upon a somewhat personal question, how did you manage to discover a vocation?
17103If the pages were written so recently, where is the writer?"
17103If there''s another woman who''s come along, why, out with it and let me know?"
17103Is it because the thoughts have come to you and you dared not daily with them?
17103Is it possible that this is your boy?"
17103Is n''t it a dream?
17103Is she not in?"
17103Is there no chance of recovering it?
17103It is man''s first impulse, is it not, to make the best bargain he can for himself?
17103It''s all a matter of climate, sir, after all, is n''t it?"
17103Looks as though he could shift a drop?"
17103May I beg for your undivided attention?"
17103May I come in?"
17103May n''t I hold your fingers, even?"
17103Milly and I are old friends, are n''t we?"
17103Must obey our doctors, eh?
17103Need we discuss it any further?
17103No news, I suppose, of the tree?"
17103Not your usual bright and eloquent self, eh?"
17103Now how much shall we say for the suite?
17103Now the same sort of thing seems to have come to little Alf, and what I want to know is what you mean by it?
17103Or a gun, eh?
17103Or had he indeed passed back for a moment into that world concerning which he had sometimes strange, half doubtful thoughts?
17103Or is it because you are like every one else-- in such a terrible hurry to become rich and famous?"
17103Or shall I stay up,"she went on,"and have a little evening in town?
17103Paid the bill, Burton?"
17103Perhaps we could go for a short distance in-- say three- quarters of an hour''s time?"
17103Perhaps we shall be able to induce you and Mrs. Johnson to come back and take a little supper with us?"
17103Perhaps you could trust me to do that while you went and packed your bag?"
17103Pray tell me, how did you make her acquaintance?"
17103Say, old man, you''re going it a bit, are n''t you?"
17103Shall I tell you what it is?"
17103Shall we say forty- five guineas for a start?"
17103Shall we say ninety guineas, Mr. Sherwell?
17103Some lovers''quarrel, I suppose?"
17103Spending some of the Menatogen profits, eh?"
17103Supposing they succeed, why should you object?
17103Surely there is plenty of time?
17103Taken a dislike to the-- here, Alf, is this a game?"
17103Tell me that, will you?"
17103Tell me why you look as though you were dreaming, my preserver?"
17103Tell me, what do you think of doing with the rest?"
17103That is the chief thing after all, is n''t it?"
17103That''s right, is n''t it, Burton?"
17103That''s so, eh?"
17103The girl of the garden?"
17103The gorse is a flaming yellow; do you see how it looks like a field of gold there in the distance?
17103The tree-- where is it?
17103Then why wear a tie of that particular shade of vivid purple when your clothes themselves, with that blue and yellow stripe, are somewhat noticeable?
17103There have been many instances of diet influencing morals, but none quite--""Diet doing what?"
17103These the chairs?"
17103They''ve been dyed, have n''t they?
17103Thursday evening, is n''t it?
17103To go and blab trade secrets to every customer that comes along?
17103To rob me, to throw me out, to take my treasure from me by force?"
17103Waddington?"
17103Waddington?"
17103Was it the perfume of the roses, of the stocks, which had suddenly appealed to some dormant sense of beauty?
17103Well, what are you going to do about it?"
17103What I want to know is this-- are you coming home to Clematis Villa or are you not?"
17103What about the novel?"
17103What about the sham diamond stud in your dickey, and your three inches of pinned on cuff?
17103What about your wife?"
17103What are you and the wife doing?"
17103What are you getting out of it?"
17103What are you looking so scared about, all of a sudden?"
17103What do you mean by it?
17103What do you think was the last thing he did?
17103What do you think, Mr. Waddington?
17103What do you think?"
17103What do you want us to do?"
17103What does that mean, I wonder?
17103What have we done, eh, little Alf and me?
17103What have you been doing to little Alf?"
17103What have you been up to, eh?
17103What have you done with the rest of the beans?"
17103What have you got up your sleeve that you do n''t want to thell the stuff?
17103What is it they are planning, I wonder?
17103What is it, Burton?"
17103What is it, I wonder?
17103What is it, I wonder?
17103What is the use of being engaged if I may not have my fiancà © come and see me sometimes?"
17103What is there but truth in my life, I''d like to know?
17103What is your occupation?"
17103What on earth are you looking at, Alfred Burton?"
17103What shall we say for lot number 17?
17103What situation?"
17103What was the use of it all?
17103What was the use?
17103What was this thing that had happened to him?
17103What''s come over you, anyway?"
17103What''s come to you since the morning?
17103What''s happened?
17103What''s the attraction?"
17103What''s the matter with you?"
17103What''s this?"
17103What''s wrong with you, man?"
17103What''s wrong?"
17103What?
17103Where did he write it?
17103Where did you get these sheets, do you say?
17103Where have you been to every morning, I should like to know?"
17103Where is he, Edith?
17103Where is the rest of the suite, young man?"
17103Where is the tree?
17103Who''s going to recompense me, I should like to know?
17103Whom do you propose to take them to?"
17103Why deprive him of the opportunity?
17103Why do n''t you get Mr. Waddington to come along?
17103Why do n''t you give up this tomfoolery and come home to me and the boy?
17103Why do n''t you go?
17103Why do we waste our time here at all, I wonder, in this ugly little corner of the universe?"
17103Why do you ask?"
17103Why not let''s go to a restaurant and a music- hall afterwards?
17103Why not make sure of riches?
17103Why not?
17103Why should he not be interested in the same things which interest your father?"
17103Why should it have been deemed necromancy to endeavor to combine these parts, to evolve by careful elimination and change the perfect food?
17103Why should not the whole world share in this thing which has come to you?"
17103Will any one start the bidding at one sovereign?"
17103Will you call at my office, Mr. Waddington, at ten o''clock to- morrow morning-- number 17, Norfolk Street?"
17103Will you let me give you some tea?"
17103Will you shake hands, Ellen, before you go?"
17103Will you start the bidding in a reasonable manner and make it a hundred?"
17103Will you try?"
17103Would it be quite convenient--?"
17103Would you like to know just what I think of you?"
17103You can understand a little, perhaps, what this means?
17103You do n''t think I want a schoolmaster in knickerbockers about the place all the time?
17103You follow me now, I am sure?
17103You have n''t forgotten that it''s Friday morning, have you?"
17103You know the way, do n''t you?"
17103You see what''s happened to me?"
17103You understand me, I am sure, Mr. Burton?
17103You will doubtless remember our conversation?"
17103You will excuse me if I hurry off?
17103You will not mind if I do the same?"
17103You will trust me with these sheets, Mr. Waddington?
17103You wo n''t think my mentioning this a liberty, I hope?"
17103You''re not going away after all this time without leaving a message or something for her, Mr. Burton, surely?"
17103You''ve got to be a fine gentleman in five minutes, have n''t you?
17103Your left arm was hanging down-- so; why is an arm such a graceful thing, I wonder?
17103Your taxicab?"
17103my daughter?
13372''Did the time really seem so long?'' 13372 ''Is it that?''
13372A blotting- book?
13372A convert to what?
13372A double bowline? 13372 A priestess of Siva, I believe it is called?"
13372A robe that would show a blood- stain?
13372A snake?
13372A spiritual manifestation?
13372A what?
13372Afraid of upsetting her?
13372After all, Mr. Lester,said Silva, kindly,"what is this fate that you would prepare for her?
13372After you left the arbour,I asked,"did you see Mr. Swain again?"
13372Ah,I said;"and what did he tell you?"
13372All of them?
13372All these fellows are frauds, more or less, are n''t they?
13372An adept?
13372And Swain''s?
13372And angry?
13372And do you remember how the yogi described them, when Goldberger asked him about them?
13372And her mother is dead?
13372And how about Miss Vaughan?
13372And if it is n''t hocus- pocus, what is it?
13372And if they do?
13372And it made no difference?
13372And locked the gate after you?
13372And meanwhile Mr. Swain will be in jail?
13372And safe,I persisted;"do you think it safe?"
13372And strangled, you say?
13372And that has changed recently?
13372And that he had a set of Swain''s?
13372And that realisation does not cause you to modify it in any way?
13372And that was?
13372And the other fellow-- the fellow who took away the snake-- where was he last night?
13372And the other photographs?
13372And the yogi also desired it?
13372And the yogi-- is he also a Thug?
13372And they''re treating you all right?
13372And this change in your father has been since the coming of this man?
13372And three fingers?
13372And what is this place called?
13372And where there is other evidence?
13372And will you show me the table at which you wrote it?
13372And you also have a distinct recollection that you did not approach him or touch him?
13372And you know him?
13372And you promise to ask my advice?
13372And you ran out of the arbour so fast you bumped your head?
13372And you will see Miss Vaughan after the inquest?
13372And you wo n''t put her on the stand?
13372And-- and the Hindus?
13372Any clue to the murderer?
13372Any developments?
13372Are there any further questions?
13372Are there any relatives to inform?
13372Are there any relatives who could be asked to interfere?
13372Are these the clothes?
13372Are they Hindus, too?
13372Are you keeping the nurses?
13372At eight o''clock, then?
13372At his devotions too, perhaps?
13372At what time?
13372Besides,I went on,"if the yogi did it, how did he get back into the house before we got there?"
13372Born in India?
13372But by birth?
13372But did n''t anybody live in this house except that old man and his daughter? 13372 But how did you know it was thrown over by Miss Vaughan?"
13372But the servants,I said, in a panic,"they are here?
13372But those made by Mr. Swain_ do_ resemble them?
13372But what is it all about?
13372But what is it you suspect?
13372But what makes you think it is Swain''s?
13372But why did he make this second knot?
13372But you are by religion a Hindu?
13372But you refused to be given up?
13372But, Godfrey,I asked,"what happened?
13372But, Godfrey,I said, as we turned in at his gate,"all this scheme of lies-- the star, the murder, the finger- prints-- what was it all about?
13372But,she gasped, pulling her hands away from me and wringing them together,"how could that be?
13372But-- but,I stammered, taken aback at the finality of her tone,"do you think it wise?"
13372By myself?
13372By what means?
13372Ca n''t he hear you?
13372Can it explain away the finger- prints?
13372Can we give you a lift?
13372Can you explain its presence there?
13372Can you forgive me?
13372Can you identify that?
13372Can you identify this?
13372Can you identify this?
13372Can you make anything of it?
13372Can you suggest any other, Miss Vaughan?
13372Did I understand you to say that he went to sleep?
13372Did Mr. Swain touch your father?
13372Did any blood come from the corpse?
13372Did he agree to do so?
13372Did he dress this way all the time?
13372Did he mention the amount of the endowment?
13372Did n''t you get that far?
13372Did she tell you anything?
13372Did that fact make you uneasy?
13372Did you find the handkerchief? 13372 Did you see any of their religious practices?"
13372Did you tell her how anxious I was for her?
13372Did you think of that when you were in the arbour with Miss Vaughan?
13372Did you write that note to Swain in your own room?
13372Did your father wish you to become a convert?
13372Do I understand that your case stands or falls upon this point?
13372Do n''t you think that proves the case?
13372Do they resemble those on the robe?
13372Do what?
13372Do you always go to so much trouble to secure converts?
13372Do you desire a minister?
13372Do you know anything of him?
13372Do you know that Mr. Vaughan is dead?
13372Do you know what it is?
13372Do you know what this does, gentlemen?
13372Do you know where he was to meet Miss Vaughan?
13372Do you know who it was?
13372Do you know whose place that is next door to us?
13372Do you know why?
13372Do you mean he''s a Hindu?
13372Do you mean that you spent the whole night sitting before that crystal?
13372Do you mean,asked Goldberger incredulously,"that you sat for five hours and more staring at that thing?"
13372Do you recognise your father''s writing?
13372Do you see that big straight limb running out to your right?
13372Do you suppose those two German servants have slept on through all this excitement?
13372Do you think Swain''s in danger?
13372Do you think he''ll sleep till morning?
13372Do you think her life''s in danger?
13372Do you want me to bring some papers, or anything?
13372Do_ you_ believe it?
13372Does anyone else know it?
13372Does he live with a Hindu mystic?
13372Does he speak English?
13372Does your law interfere in matters of the heart?
13372Even with a single finger?
13372Ever had any training in making money?
13372Feel better?
13372Fifty thousand?
13372For what purpose?
13372For what purpose?
13372For what?
13372Had he drawn up a deed of gift?
13372Had it been bleeding?
13372Has Mr. Godfrey gone?
13372Has any new light on the case occurred to you?
13372Has he always been queer?
13372Have you a distinct recollection that the library was empty when you sprang into it?
13372Have you any objection to giving me a set of your finger- prints?
13372Have you any way of telling by whom these prints were made?
13372Have you considered what that belief implies?
13372Have you ever been out this way before?
13372Have you examined the body, sir?
13372Have you found out who it was?
13372Have you nerve enough to stay here half an hour by yourself, Lester?
13372Have you reached a verdict, gentlemen?
13372Have you seen Miss Vaughan?
13372Have you strength to tell me just what happened, Miss Vaughan?
13372Have you the photographs with you?
13372He had threatened your life if you tried to see his daughter again?
13372He had used very violent language to you, had he not?
13372He is not friendly to you?
13372Her bedroom''s upstairs, I suppose?
13372Her father is wealthy, I suppose?
13372Her letter tells you nothing?
13372How about breakfast?
13372How am I to free it, Señor Silva?
13372How can it?
13372How did Miss Vaughan come to find the body?
13372How did you come to apply for the place?
13372How did you know that?
13372How did you know?
13372How did you learn that?
13372How did you spend the night?
13372How do I get there?
13372How do you do it, Godfrey?
13372How do you explain all that crystal sphere business, anyway?
13372How do you identify it?
13372How do you know her evidence wo n''t help you?
13372How do you know?
13372How do you know?
13372How does it come that you speak English so well?
13372How have you been getting along?
13372How is Miss Vaughan, doctor?
13372How is he?
13372How is she hurt?
13372How is she, doctor?
13372How is she?
13372How long has he been dead?
13372How long has he been dead?
13372How old is he?
13372How was she dressed?
13372How will we get down?
13372Human blood?
13372Human blood?
13372I shall have to be there to- morrow, then?
13372I suppose there are some other servants somewhere about the place?
13372I suppose there''s a telephone somewhere about?
13372I suppose you know,I said,"that they''re certain to find against you?
13372I suppose you''ve come to take me along?
13372I understand that,Swain answered thickly;"but how can they be explained?
13372I wonder how he knew the combination?
13372I wonder if Miss Vaughan uses a blotting- book? 13372 If there is a will,"I asked,"where would it probably be?"
13372In her father''s grounds?
13372In what way did you come to accept this position?
13372In what way too late?
13372In what way?
13372In what way?
13372In what way?
13372Information as to the manner of Mr. Vaughan''s passing-- can you tell us anything of that?
13372Is Miss Vaughan ill?
13372Is he a lunatic, too?
13372Is her father dead?
13372Is it with blood?
13372Is it you, doctor?
13372Is n''t that the prescription for all of us, doctor?
13372Is she all right?
13372Is she dead?
13372Is there anything else I can do, sir?
13372Is this your verdict, gentlemen?
13372It bled freely, did it not?
13372It is to be to- morrow?
13372It might have been merely the breeze, might it not?
13372Just what is it you''re afraid of?
13372Look here, Godfrey,I said,"do you realise that what we''re about to do is pretty serious?
13372Look, Simmonds,he cried, rubbing his dripping eyes fiercely,"there against the wall?--is there something there-- or is it just the smoke?"
13372May I ask your profession?
13372May I look into it?
13372May I see you to- morrow?
13372May I?
13372Miss Vaughan,I said, at last,"how long a time elapsed from the moment you left your father in the library until you found him?"
13372Mr. Swain,he said,"have you ever seen this cord before?"
13372Mr. Sylvester,he began,"you have examined the marks on these garments?"
13372Mr. Sylvester,said the coroner,"you consider the finger- print method of identification a positive one, do you not?"
13372Mr. Vaughan was your pupil?
13372Nor Silva?
13372Not bad, is it?
13372Now, Mr. Swain, as you stood there, angry and humiliated, did n''t you make up your mind to follow him to the house and have it out with him?
13372Now, Mr. Sylvester,he said,"did you notice any correspondence between these prints?"
13372Now, friends,he said,"will you not enter?"
13372Now, what are the clues to the murderer? 13372 Now,"he began, when we were seated,"where was Miss Vaughan at the moment you sprang through the door?"
13372Of a dress?
13372Oh, is it you, Annie?
13372Oh, what is it? 13372 Or made a will?"
13372Perhaps not,Godfrey assented;"but would she want the barrier intact?
13372Rather nerve- racking, was n''t it, Lester?
13372Safe?
13372Shall I come up?
13372Shall I reconstruct this one?
13372Shall we read it now?
13372So Silva was only taking what belonged to him, eh?
13372So it''s her father, is it?
13372So that it would probably stain anything you touched?
13372So you think I am the murderer?
13372Something terrible to your father?
13372Standing in space?
13372Stop them from what?
13372Suppose I make such a promise, what then?
13372Suppose we say ten o''clock, then?
13372Suppose you have two fingers?
13372Tell me, first-- did you hear anyone following you across the garden?
13372That also has blood- marks on it, I believe?
13372That is all for to- day,he said;"unless Mr. Simmonds has some questions?"
13372That is the cult to which Francisco Silva belongs?
13372That is, if one does n''t happen to own a motor car?
13372The Arabian Nights?
13372The Thug?
13372The nurses are still here, are they not?
13372The vision of your father''s death?
13372Then how did the marks get there?
13372Then we will consider that settled?
13372Then where will she go?
13372There are still a few dark places,he agreed;"but the outlines are pretty clear, are n''t they?"
13372There is nothing else I can do for you?
13372This was about midnight, was it not?
13372To the roof? 13372 Toto?"
13372Touch him? 13372 Two victims?"
13372Unknown to him?
13372Until to- night?
13372Was Swain''s one of them?
13372Was he quite dead when you found him?
13372Was it assisting her to kill her father?
13372Was it this handkerchief?
13372Was that your first experience of crystal- gazing?
13372Was your attendant with you?
13372Was your father always opposed to your marriage?
13372Well, what are they?
13372Well, what do you say, doctor?
13372Well,I asked, at last,"what now?"
13372Well,I said again, striving to understand,"what of it?"
13372Well,I said,"and after your father appeared, what happened?"
13372Well,I said;"what then?"
13372Well,he asked,"will you wish to put her on the stand?"
13372Well?
13372Well?
13372Well?
13372Were the Hindus obtrusive in any way?
13372What are they?
13372What are they?
13372What are those things? 13372 What did Miss Vaughan think of that explanation?"
13372What did she say?
13372What did you make of them?
13372What do you make of it?
13372What do you mean by that?
13372What do you mean by that?
13372What do you mean?
13372What do you mean?
13372What do you see in the mirror?
13372What do_ you_ think?
13372What does it imply?
13372What does she mean by''too late''?
13372What has happened now?
13372What have I done?
13372What inference do you draw from that?
13372What information, sir?
13372What is it you desire?
13372What is it you fear, Godfrey?
13372What is it, Lester?
13372What is it, Swain?
13372What is it?
13372What is it?
13372What is it?
13372What is it?
13372What is it?
13372What is that?
13372What is that?
13372What is the verdict?
13372What is this, anyway?
13372What is wrong?
13372What is your name?
13372What kind of a freak dress is this, anyway?
13372What now?
13372What occurred after you and your father reached the house?
13372What other reason can there be?
13372What promise?
13372What right?
13372What time did you get up?
13372What time was that?
13372What was he doing there?
13372What was he doing?
13372What was it, then?
13372What was it?
13372What was it?
13372What was that?
13372What was that?
13372What was that?
13372What was to become of his daughter?
13372What way?
13372What were your feelings when he took his daughter away?
13372What will you do?
13372What would you suggest?
13372What''s that thing got to do with the finger- prints?
13372What''s that you''ve got?
13372What''s that?
13372What''s the matter here?
13372What''s the matter with the fool girl, anyway?
13372What''s wrong?
13372What, discoveries already?
13372Where are we going to look for it?
13372Where are you going?
13372Where did that blood come from?
13372Where did the yogi come from?
13372Where did you first meet Silva?
13372Where does it lead?
13372Where does one get off?
13372Where is that book of finger- prints you spoke about, Lester?
13372Where is this man Swain?
13372Where shall the body be buried?
13372Where were you at the time?
13372Where''s the man I left on guard here?
13372Where, then, in your opinion, did this blood come from?
13372Which one of the Hindus?
13372Which part?
13372While you were having the altercation with Mr. Vaughan, did you grasp hold of him?
13372Who are these witnesses?
13372Who else would attempt to conduct a surreptitious correspondence with a handsome young man?
13372Who is Siva?
13372Who is it? 13372 Who''s got an extra gun?"
13372Whose blood is it?
13372Why did n''t you put her on the stand to- day, Lester?
13372Why did you choose that hour for the meeting?
13372Why did your father require all this money?
13372Why do you suppose Miss Vaughan named so late an hour?
13372Why do you think so?
13372Why not go out on the lawn?
13372Why not put them in the grounds, as soon as it is dark, and let them conceal themselves near the house? 13372 Why not?"
13372Why not?
13372Why should that light descend every midnight? 13372 Will Miss Vaughan be able to testify?"
13372Will Mr. Swain please take the stand?
13372Will you gaze for an hour on the crystal?
13372Will you give her a note from me?
13372Will you hold the shirt up so the jury can see it?
13372Will you introduce me to Sylvester? 13372 Will you tell us something, first, of your father''s mental state?"
13372Will you translate for me? 13372 With Swain as the murderer?"
13372Wo n''t I?
13372Wo n''t you sit down?
13372Would bail be considered?
13372Would it disturb the gentleman too much to ask him a few questions?
13372Yes,said Godfrey;"shall I show you the way?"
13372Yes; but did you look at him, Lester? 13372 You are not a Hindu?"
13372You are quite sure?
13372You are sure of that?
13372You are sure of that?
13372You are sure they were his-- you are sure?
13372You are to go to the house?
13372You are what is called an adept?
13372You consider these plain enough for purposes of identification?
13372You cut your wrist as you were crossing the wall the first time?
13372You did n''t touch him at any time, then or afterwards?
13372You do n''t mean,he cried, panic in his voice,"that she''s going to stay out there?"
13372You had heard no one in the hall at all?
13372You have been with her since?
13372You heard Dr. Hinman testify that he found the handkerchief beside the chair in which Mr. Vaughan was murdered?
13372You heard nothing?
13372You heard?
13372You hoped so, too, no doubt?
13372You knew he was dead?
13372You know Mr. Swain cut his wrist as he came over the wall that night?
13372You know nothing of his past?
13372You know this place, then?
13372You mean Miss Vaughan?
13372You mean he tried to detain you?
13372You mean she could n''t go out when she wanted to?
13372You mean the prints agree with the photographs?
13372You mean the yogi?
13372You mean there''s no one here? 13372 You mean they were all made by one hand?"
13372You realise the serious nature of this assertion?
13372You realise, Mr. Lester,he said, more seriously,"that it is plainly my duty to cause Swain''s arrest?"
13372You remember we found him squatting on the floor with a rag and a tooth and a bone in front of him?
13372You saw her father also?
13372You saw that?
13372You say you have been here five months?
13372You still think there was a cobra?
13372You think that''s the reason of her behaviour?
13372You think these reproduce Swain''s finger- prints?
13372You thought she needed you?
13372You thought that would be the natural thing for Mr. Swain to do, did you not?
13372You understand what you''re to do?
13372You went straight to the house?
13372You wished to see me?
13372You''ll come back with me, wo n''t you?
13372You''ll come, then?
13372You''ve found no trace of him?
13372You''ve got your men watching the house, I suppose?
13372You''ve notified the police?
13372Your right wrist?
13372_ Is_ it hocus- pocus, Godfrey?
13372''Can it be that?''
13372After all, what claim have you upon her?"
13372After all, why not?
13372Ai n''t you''most starved?"
13372Am I laying awake nights worrying about them?
13372And how did he get there?
13372And then?"
13372Are n''t there any servants?"
13372Are these cigars purchasable?
13372But I rose to my feet in sudden impatience; what consideration was she showing for him or for me or for anyone?
13372But how are you?"
13372But how did you get in?"
13372But is n''t such an explanation possible?"
13372But tell me, Swain, what is it you fear?"
13372But what if she will not go?"
13372But what''s the proposition?"
13372But where are the servants?
13372But where were they?
13372But you promise me that she shall be taken away immediately after the funeral?"
13372But, in the next step of the tragedy, one detail is uncertain-- whose hand was it drew the cord around your father''s throat?
13372Ca n''t we do something for her?"
13372Can I give you a bed, Simmonds?"
13372Can you describe those knots for me?"
13372Can you tie such a knot?"
13372Could n''t her deposition be taken privately?
13372Could n''t you arrest him on suspicion and keep him locked up for two or three days, Simmonds?"
13372Did he follow us?"
13372Did you come up on the elevated?"
13372Did you notice the stains, doctor?"
13372Did you see him?"
13372Did you sleep any last night?"
13372Do n''t you get the glimmer of a motive for his murder there, Lester?"
13372Do n''t you see something there?"
13372Do n''t you think you deserve it?"
13372Do you feel the button?"
13372Do you know how she is this morning?"
13372Do you know what it is?
13372Do you know what that means, Lester-- to become a priestess of Siva?"
13372Do you know what those stains are, Simmonds?
13372Do you see anything improbable in that?"
13372Do you see the difference?"
13372Do you see the other victim?
13372Do you understand?"
13372Do you want me to kidnap her?"
13372Do you want to go and see?"
13372Do you?"
13372During your altercation with Mr. Vaughan, did you at any time touch him?"
13372Even a roadside juggler does n''t do his tricks for nothing-- what reward is it this fellow''s working for?
13372Ever hear of him?"
13372Godfrey,"I added,"does n''t the absence of servants seem strange to you?"
13372Godfrey?"
13372Godfrey?"
13372Godfrey?"
13372Goldberger?"
13372Had he been there?
13372Hargis?"
13372Hargis?"
13372Have a cigar?"
13372Have you a small hand- mirror, Miss Vaughan?"
13372Have you not wondered, Mr. Lester, why it was that I chose you to deliver my letter?"
13372His grandmother''s remains?"
13372How can you explain them away?"
13372How could Miss Vaughan do it, ill as she was?
13372How did Miss Vaughan''s father come to burst in on her and Swain like that?
13372How did he know they were in the arbour?
13372How did it get there, Mr. Lester?
13372How did you happen to discover the crime?"
13372How do you happen to know it?"
13372How long did he sit there?"
13372How long will they be there?"
13372How many people are there in the world, Swain?"
13372How was one to reply to such jargon?
13372How were they to get any human interest out of a transcript?
13372I knew, of course, that he was a student of the supernatural, but since the coming of this yogi....""This what?"
13372I sat suddenly upright, for if there was such a man, he must be one of two...."What is it?"
13372I suppose that is the assumption you will make next?"
13372I wonder what the man with the snake is doing?"
13372I wonder who ordered that done?"
13372If they did n''t hear those screams the other night, do you think they would hear any others?
13372If you persuade her to accompany you to- night, where would you take her?
13372Is Miss Vaughan in here?"
13372Is it not so?"
13372Is n''t it a little queer that a Thug should be so particular about a few blood- stains?"
13372Is n''t that it?"
13372Is she better?"
13372Is she in bed?"
13372Is there any reason why she ca n''t be taken there to- day?"
13372It is not to speak of business?"
13372Lester?"
13372Lester?"
13372Lester?"
13372Lester?"
13372Lester?"
13372Lester?"
13372Lester?"
13372Lester?"
13372Marryat, for instance; who reads Marryat nowadays?
13372May I come?"
13372Might it not, indeed, be a rehearsal of some sort-- private theatricals-- make- believe?
13372Mr. Lester,"and he leaned forward suddenly,"have you the courage to consult the sphere?"
13372No doubt of his appearing is there?"
13372Now, think carefully before you answer my questions: Have you any recollection, however faint, of having seen Mahbub before this morning?"
13372Now, what''s it all about, anyway?"
13372Perhaps Swain was right-- perhaps it_ was_ Silva who was using every minute to increase his influence; but what could I do?
13372Rather foolish of me, was n''t it?"
13372Royce?"
13372Suppose you were sitting there, and heard a noise, and looked around and saw me standing here, you would n''t jump from the chair, would you?"
13372Swain?"
13372Swain?"
13372Swain?"
13372Swain?"
13372Swain?"
13372That is all?"
13372That''s a good trade, is n''t it?"
13372That''s a new idea in crime, is n''t it, Simmonds?"
13372That''s reasonable, is n''t it?"
13372The handkerchief Miss Vaughan used would probably be in that condition, would it not?"
13372There could be no objection to that, I suppose?"
13372There is one nurse on duty all the time, is n''t there, doctor?"
13372They are going to stay?"
13372Understand?"
13372Understand?"
13372Vaughan?"
13372Vaughan?"
13372Vaughan?"
13372What are they?"
13372What connection could that have with the blood- stains on the robe?
13372What did Miss Vaughan call it, Lester?"
13372What did he expect them to do-- photograph the transcript?
13372What did they see in the sphere?
13372What do you think of that, Simmonds?"
13372What do you want?"
13372What evidence?"
13372What for?"
13372What have I to fear?"
13372What if Swain''s finger- prints_ were_ missing from the book?
13372What is it, Mr. Lester?
13372What is it?''
13372What motive lay behind?
13372What then?
13372What was happening in that silence?
13372What was it for which he had pled so earnestly?
13372What was it the younger man had urged so passionately upon her, but at which she had rebelled?
13372What was passing in that inscrutable brain?
13372What was she doing in there?
13372What was the meaning of Miss Vaughan''s emotion?
13372What was the meaning of the scene?
13372What_ is_ the light, anyway?"
13372Where is everybody?"
13372Where shall I begin?"
13372Who was it she had expected to find listening at the door?
13372Who would arrange for the funeral on the morrow?
13372Who would give orders to clear away this litter?
13372Whose hand was it had thrown that cord about the throat and drawn it tight?
13372Will you have something to eat, Lester, before you turn in?"
13372Will you make the trial?"
13372Will you stay?"
13372Will you wish to accompany it?"
13372Would Godfrey?
13372Would Simmonds be able to divine that motive, to build the case up bit by bit until the murderer was found?
13372Would it be convenient to have our business conference after dinner?"
13372You did not see it around his neck?"
13372You heard Swain remark that Vaughan was a collector of finger- prints?"
13372You remember that clearly, do n''t you?"
13372You wo n''t forget your promise?"
13372You''ve got your whistles?
13372he inquired blandly;"or in matters of religion?"
13372inquired the coroner;"the knot which holds the noose tight and prevents it from slipping?"
17356''Bargain''shall we call it?
17356A cigar?
17356A clue?
17356A rumour?
17356A tall, thin gentleman in knickerbockers? 17356 A threat?"
17356About that friend on Thursday night?
17356Alone?
17356Am I going to be disappointed in you, I wonder?
17356Am I to conclude, then, that there was a quarrel?
17356Am I to give my soul to its wrong keeper, that our party may flourish?
17356Am I?
17356Amongst your own constituents?
17356An elderly lady?
17356And Miller?
17356And again, how can a man be a great politician when there are no politics? 17356 And between September and May?"
17356And could you?
17356And how does town seem, Mr. Tallente, after your sylvan solitude?
17356And is it true that you are in league with all the Bolshevists on the continent?
17356And now about yourself?
17356And now that we are here, are you going to stretch me on the rack and delve for my opinions on all sorts of subjects? 17356 And supposing you fell in love-- taking it for granted that you have not done so already-- should you marry?"
17356And the alternative?
17356And then?
17356And then?
17356And what about Cheverton House here?
17356And what becomes of you?
17356And what do you want to say to me about it? 17356 And what of all this?"
17356And who is that?
17356And who may this distinguished visitor he?
17356And why not? 17356 And why?"
17356And will you tell me what the devil you mean by authorising your secretary to write these letters?
17356And yet,he went on,"tell me, are you wholly content here?
17356And you live here alone?
17356And?
17356Another constituency?
17356Any news?
17356Anything else?
17356Anything else?
17356Anything missing, sir?
17356Are n''t you a little over- modest?
17356Are n''t you by way of being just a little sentimental?
17356Are you Mr. Miller, the Democrat M.P.?
17356Are you all right, sir?
17356Are you going to break up our homes and divide our estates amongst the poor?
17356Are you going to serve with him?
17356Are you going to use it?
17356Begging your pardon, sir, is it true that he was Miller, the Socialist M.P.?
17356Being your private secretary, sir,he said,"the Honourable Anthony Palliser would no doubt have access to your private papers?"
17356Besides, you told me about it, did you not, yesterday afternoon? 17356 Bucolic?
17356But his disappearance-- tell me about that?
17356But how long have you been here?
17356But the Democrats,she ventured,"are surely only one of these isolated parties?"
17356But what does it mean that you are here just now?
17356But what in the world could have induced you to write such an article, Tallente?
17356But what is that? 17356 But what was your upbringing?"
17356But why is that influence exercised against me?
17356But why should you expect that I should give you information?
17356But you have n''t forgotten your promise?
17356By the by, Tallente,he asked,"what about the disappearance of Palliser?"
17356By whom?
17356Ca n''t we have it served in your sitting room, please?
17356Can I have a proof of the article?
17356Can I make a note of the nature of the loss, sir?
17356Can you refuse such an appeal in such a spot? 17356 Can you tell me what possible justification you can find for making use of stolen material?"
17356Care to smoke a cigar?
17356Chaperoned?
17356Could n''t you give a drawing- room lecture, Mr. Tallente, and tell us?
17356Could we not make a bargain now? 17356 Dartrey?"
17356Dealing seriously with Palliser, thinking that he represented me in this matter?
17356Dear Stephen,she pleaded,"I am sorry-- to be such a fool-- but this thing has lived with me a long time, and-- would you go away?
17356Dear hostess,he exclaimed,"what has come to you?"
17356Dear man,she begged,"dearest of all men-- will you go now?
17356Did Horlock send Miller to you?
17356Did you consult him before you bribed my secretary and hawked about that article, first to Horlock and now to heaven knows whom?
17356Did you discover anything, sir?
17356Did you hear a car at all that night?
17356Did you notice the person with whom I was talking?
17356Disappeared? 17356 Disunite it?
17356Divorced you?
17356Do I know him?
17356Do I understand that Tallente is to be Prime Minister?
17356Do I understand you to attribute your defeat, then, to the tactics of the Democratic Party?
17356Do I?
17356Do n''t you ever realise that you may have an even more important mission here?
17356Do n''t you think he''ll make a good Prime Minister?
17356Do n''t you think that you are inclined to take life a little too earnestly?
17356Do we need it?
17356Do you believe that because some mysterious power imposes restraint upon us, the passion is n''t there all the while?
17356Do you know if Mrs. Tallente is at home?
17356Do you know the name of the newspaper?
17356Do you know what he was doing here?
17356Do you know what you did? 17356 Do you mean that I have spoken to you?"
17356Do you mean that you would like to agree with me, or would you like to be twenty- nine?
17356Do you mean that?
17356Do you mean to say that he is over at the Manor now?
17356Do you mind talking shop, Greening?
17356Does it occur to you,she asked,"that I am the sort of person to encourage attentions from a man who is not free to offer them?"
17356Does n''t it occur to you, sir, as being an extraordinarily dangerous thing to put it back in exactly the same position as though it were sound?
17356For instance?
17356Foreign travel?
17356From whom should I? 17356 Greening,"he said,"if you are not in a hurry, could I have a word with you before lunch?"
17356Had you any idea where the honourable Anthony Palliser was going to?
17356Has he agreed to serve under me?
17356Has n''t it occurred to you that that might have been political strategy?
17356Have I any cause for alarm?
17356Have I neglected you?
17356Have you Democrats any fresh inspiration, then?
17356Have you a copy of it?
17356Have you any further reason for your attitude,Tallente asked pointedly,"except those you have put forward?"
17356Have you any idea what he wanted?
17356Have you any knowledge, Tallente, which the world does not share, of the disappearance of this man Palliser? 17356 Have you any personal feeling against me, Tallente?"
17356Have you any plans?
17356Have you read the article?
17356Have you sworn to abjure me and all my works?
17356He has disappointed you?
17356He is doing his work well, is n''t he?
17356He or she?
17356Heard the news?
17356How are you regarding the appearance of these outpourings of yours, Tallente?
17356How can I put it?
17356How can I tell? 17356 How can they ruin them?"
17356How can you possibly be sure that I could give you what you want? 17356 How can you say that,"Tallente argued,"when day by day your power in the country grows, when everything points to you as the next Premier?"
17356How could I? 17356 How could you know that I was coming to- day?"
17356How did you come to see this rag?
17356How did you find this out?
17356How did you guess that?
17356How does that concern me?
17356How is it that I can make no one hear?
17356How much of the year,he asked,"do you actually spend here?"
17356How old are you?
17356How on earth can I do that?
17356How on earth did you know that?
17356How on earth do you come to know all these things?
17356I am afraid that I asked a tactless question, but how could I know?
17356I am to conclude, then,he said,"that you were dissatisfied with his work as your secretary?"
17356I could n''t help having people here, could I?
17356I could,Tallente admitted,"but why?
17356I dare say you are right,he admitted,"but if he needs an Aspasia, surely she could be found?"
17356I do wish I knew--"What?
17356I hope you''re going to stay down in these parts for a time?
17356I see,Greening murmured thoughtfully,"and then a council of war, eh?
17356I should like to know what the mischief you mean by wandering around my grounds at this hour of the night without my permission?
17356I suppose they, too, are a little revolutionary, so far as regards our social laws?
17356I suppose you fully understand that that noxious person, Miller, paid my defaulting secretary five thousand pounds for that manuscript?
17356I wonder whether you would mind coming into my study?
17356In plain words, you''ve no use for me in the Cabinet?
17356In the first place, what have you to tell? 17356 Indeed, sir?"
17356Indeed, sir?
17356Is Dartrey going to back you?
17356Is he an admirer?
17356Is he here?
17356Is it a weakness?
17356Is my danger political or otherwise?
17356Is n''t it too late?
17356Is that how I seem to you?
17356Is that to be my sacrifice to the cause?
17356Is there going to be a revolution?
17356Is this a matter of blackmail?
17356Is this going to be a pill for you?
17356Is this true, Tallente?
17356It has been for long?
17356It is hopeless with her?
17356It is n''t,she replied, helping herself to strawberry"Are you in earnest?"
17356It was just the cry you fancied you heard which made you undertake this expedition?
17356It was one of your late party, was n''t it, who said that the making of enemies was the only reward of political success?
17356It would disturb you very much if your servants were to know of my presence here?
17356It''s given you something to think about, eh?
17356It''s the end, I suppose?
17356Just what have you come to say, mother?
17356Lady Jane,he ventured,"have I said anything to offend you?"
17356Leaving that out of the question, then, I suppose there''s no chance of your ratting?
17356Lies?
17356London?
17356Miller is not one of your favorites, then?
17356Miller?
17356Mr. Andrew Tallente, sir?
17356Mr. Crockford in?
17356Mr. Tallente, will you introduce me to the lady?
17356Must I show you what love is?
17356Must I, after all, be the teacher?
17356Not at all?
17356Nothing doing, eh?
17356Nothing else?
17356Nothing very valuable, I hope?
17356Nothing, I suppose,he admitted,"yet there''s a certain risk about dropping me, is n''t there?
17356Now may I tell you just why I came to pay you this visit?
17356Now tell me all the news at Woolhanger?
17356Obliged to send Tony away?
17356Of course I should, but had n''t you better dine here?
17356On Sunday night?
17356Owing to the influence of the Democrats?
17356Political or-- domestic?
17356Prepared with your apologia, Tallente?
17356Rather a pigsty, is n''t it?
17356Really?
17356Really?
17356Rotten? 17356 Shall I call it the gregarious one, the desire for companionship of young people of your own age?"
17356Shall I send it to your rooms or here?
17356Shall I tell you what it is I lack?
17356Shall we try and get in at a show somewhere?
17356Shall you have to get another secretary?
17356She is interested in politics?
17356She said if you came before she returned would you care to step round?
17356So far as your personal view is concerned,Tallente asked,"you could do without Miller, could n''t you?"
17356So that is why you are living down here like this?
17356So that was your wife at Claridge''s yesterday afternoon?
17356So this is the last bid, eh?
17356So you see,she concluded, sitting up and speaking once more in her conversational manner,"I am not a bit modern really, am I?
17356So you think that regeneration may come to me through lawn tennis?
17356Some of them?
17356Some one?
17356Stephen Dartrey?
17356Still, you would n''t have Mr. Tallente give in without a struggle?
17356Stress upon them? 17356 Supposing I go to the police?"
17356Supposing you had not happened to meet me? 17356 Surely my statement was sufficiently explicit?"
17356Surely that is exactly what you want? 17356 Surely you were in Hellesfield the day before yesterday?"
17356Surely,her mother remarked acidly,"in view of your growing intimacy they are of some interest to you both?"
17356Susan dear, what time do you have to join your friends?
17356Tallente,he said,"I suppose you mean to break us?"
17356Tell her that I am unexpectedly free for an hour or so, and ask if I may come around and see her?
17356Tell me exactly what fault you find with him?
17356Tell me honestly, though, are n''t you surprised to find me living here quite alone?
17356Tell me some more about yourself?
17356Tell me why they were so anxious to gather you into the fold?
17356Tell me why you have done it?
17356Tell me, did he receive any visitors at all on the Tuesday?
17356Tell me, how did the manuscript ever leave your possession, Tallente?
17356Tell me, where is your wife?
17356Tell me,she asked, with almost insolent irony,"do you believe that there could ever have been a right person for you?"
17356Tell me,she asked,"how did you ever make your peace with the trades unions after that terrible article of yours?"
17356That would n''t help, would it?
17356The hunting?
17356The inspector has quite finished with you?
17356The one thing?
17356The small shopkeepers?
17356Then my invitation was n''t a spontaneous one?
17356Then what is it?
17356Then will you take me to that little place you told me of in Soho?
17356Then you are free?
17356There is n''t a single thing I have or ever have had in life which I would n''t give for the chance-- just a chance--"And she cares for you?
17356This is not pity?
17356This is to be the end, then?
17356This is your last word?
17356To begin with, then, can you break your engagement and come and dine with the Chief?
17356To join your ranks, I suppose?
17356To my house?
17356True enough,she admitted,"but ought n''t that to make one all the more careful?
17356Try? 17356 Walking off with a portion of my fence, eh?"
17356Was it?
17356Was she telling me the truth when she said that your married life was not an entire success?
17356Was that so terrible a sin?
17356We discussed that before, did n''t we? 17356 Well, does that matter very much?"
17356Well, what about him?
17356Well, what was the final result of your efforts towards companionship?
17356Well?
17356Well?
17356Well?
17356What about Miller?
17356What about the future?
17356What are you doing in my grounds?
17356What can he want with you?
17356What do you mean by saying that I am not a people''s man?
17356What do you mean?
17356What do you mean?
17356What do you think he deserved?
17356What does Dartrey want to see me about?
17356What does Dartrey want with me?
17356What does that matter so long as I ask you?
17356What does that wish mean?
17356What exactly is Miller''s position?
17356What have you done with Tony Palliser?
17356What is it, please?
17356What is my work?
17356What is the use of a few military distinctions? 17356 What of it?"
17356What of it?
17356What of it?
17356What on earth are you talking about, sir?
17356What reason had you for supposing that you might discover Mr. Palliser''s body there?
17356What the mischief are your principles?
17356What the mischief do you mean?
17356What was to be his reward-- his ulterior reward, I mean?
17356What will be your position really as regards the two main sections of the Labour Party?
17356What would you have me do? 17356 What, the old Whig lot?
17356What, the people who have just voted solidly against you?
17356When did Mr. Palliser arrive here?
17356When is your wife returning?
17356When was this smashed?
17356When we have finished this Irish business, what are you going to do?
17356When will you come and have a long talk?
17356When you say that you turned him out of the house, that rather implies a quarrel, does n''t it? 17356 Where is Palliser?
17356Where is Susan?
17356Whether you have heard anything of Palliser since his disappearance?
17356Which is?
17356Who am I to give you counsel?
17356Who are the men who really represent what you and I would understand as Labour?
17356Who are you?
17356Who has now, I understand, left him?
17356Who is the man?
17356Who told you that lie?
17356Who''s that in the grounds, Robert?
17356Who''s there?
17356Why are n''t you oftener enthusiastic?
17356Why call attention to the one and only masculine virtue?
17356Why did n''t you tell me this before, Robert?
17356Why did n''t you wire?
17356Why have you never married?
17356Why have you not spoken so plainly in the House?
17356Why is the table laid for two only?
17356Why nonsense?
17356Why not ask her?
17356Why not? 17356 Why not?"
17356Why not?
17356Why not?
17356Why? 17356 Why?
17356Why?
17356Why?
17356Will you come and see me to- morrow afternoon? 17356 Will you dine with me to- morrow night?"
17356Will you give her ladyship a message?
17356Will you give this to the butler?
17356Will you lend me the letters?
17356Will you take anything before you go, Inspector?
17356Will you walk with me as far as the lookout?
17356Will your wife be long away?
17356Wo n''t you come in? 17356 Wo n''t you come in?"
17356Wo n''t you tell me why I can make no one hear?
17356Would it be ridiculous of me?
17356Written by Palliser, are n''t they?
17356You admit that something has happened?
17356You are a neighbour of my niece in Devonshire, I believe?
17356You are alone at the Manor?
17356You are content to be here alone, even in the winter?
17356You are going to try and get me a copy of the article?
17356You are just a little tired, are n''t you? 17356 You are neighbours in Devonshire, are n''t you?"
17356You are not angry with me, Andrew? 17356 You are one of Alice Mountgarron''s admirers?"
17356You are staying near here?
17356You are sure you wo n''t allow me to order a car, sir?
17356You believe that they have a greater hold upon the country than we imagine, then?
17356You care?
17356You do n''t like Tallente?
17356You do n''t mean to tell me,she exclaimed, with a sudden light in her eyes,"that you, my well- behaved Andrew, have been playing around?
17356You do not desire my return to Martinhoe?
17356You find politics interesting over here?
17356You have been amusing yourself?
17356You have brought me here to answer these questions?
17356You have n''t been writing a novel under a pseudonym, have you?
17356You mean that you are too much committed to Dartrey and the Democrats?
17356You mean that you do n''t believe in woman Member of Parliament, doctors and lawyers, and that sort of thing?
17356You mean that you have lost your ideals?
17356You mean that you will not return there?
17356You mean the Leeds figures, of course?
17356You mean to upset the Constitution?
17356You read of the disappearance of the Honourable Anthony Palliser?
17356You refer to the Democrats?
17356You refused it?
17356You think so, Tallente, eh? 17356 You will come into the house for a few minutes?"
17356You will forgive me?
17356You will let me know?
17356You will let yourself out?
17356You wo n''t forget how I stand?
17356You would n''t think Susan would be so much luckier than I, would you?
17356You''ve been down to the beach and back, sir?
17356You''ve walked all the way back, sir?
17356You?
17356You?
17356Your father, for instance?
17356Your own opinions?
17356Your wife, I suppose, can be trusted?
17356A man of affairs?"
17356An artist?
17356And by the by,"he added, glancing at the clock,"where is your other guest?
17356And in any case, how could I give anything except my eager wishes, my friendship-- perhaps, if you will, my affection?
17356And tell me, incidentally, whether you have heard anything of a rumour going around about Andrew Tallente?"
17356And-- consider-- isn''t the upraised rod for your good?
17356Are n''t you forging weapons to drive us from our homes and portion out our savings?"
17356Are we to have the anarchy of Bolshevists or the socialism of Marx,--a red flag republic or a classical dictatorship?"
17356Are you afraid that I am going to attempt to make love to you?"
17356Are you going to be Prime Minister, Tallente?"
17356Are you staying here with your wife?"
17356But how is this possible?"
17356But would that bring you content?"
17356But you, Nora, how is it that your love brings you unhappiness?
17356Ca n''t you be a little more explicit?"
17356Can I drop you anywhere?"
17356Can you discuss terms at all for a rapprochement?"
17356Come and see me, Mr. Tallente, wo n''t you?
17356Could any man go backwards over that palisading, do you think, and save his life?"
17356Did I understand Williams to say that the document was stolen from your study at Martinhoe?"
17356Did you have any scene with him?
17356Did you read her article in the National, too?"
17356Do you know anything about gardening, Lady Jane?"
17356Do you know how old I really am?"
17356Do you know more of his disappearance than the world knows?"
17356Do you know that you have been in my blood like a fever all day?
17356Do you mean to say that you do n''t know where he is?"
17356Do you read your morning papers?"
17356Do you realise what has happened?
17356Do you see that it is past two o''clock?"
17356Do you see what a beautiful view I have of the Houses of Parliament?
17356Do you think she''d leave them to me if I were to call on her?"
17356Does Tallente know that I am promised a seat in his Cabinet?"
17356Going, Andrew?
17356Granted that our doctrines are extreme, are we-- let me be personal and say am I-- the class of man whom you have associated with these doctrines?
17356Has he brought it to you?"
17356Has n''t Mr. Dartrey just told you so and does n''t that make our task the clearer?
17356Have n''t you realised that yourself-- or perhaps you do n''t care to talk about these things to an ignoramus such as I am?"
17356Have you anything further to say?"
17356Have you been going about with this man Tallente?"
17356Have you ever seen it open?"
17356Have you made any plans, Tallente?"
17356Have you made up your mind?"
17356Have you saved any money, Crockford?"
17356Help yourself, wo n''t you?"
17356His seat is quite safe and with a little reshuffling you would be able to slip back gradually to your place amongst us?"
17356How can you say that the lamp of your life has burned dull?"
17356How do you expect regeneration to come?"
17356How do you think that will go down with the public?"
17356I am not here to make capital out of a man''s disappointment in his friends, but has your great patron used you well?
17356I am philosopher enough not to ask myself whether it has been worth while, but I do ask myself-- what of the next ten years?"
17356I could tell you more but may not that be enough?
17356I did n''t misunderstand him, did I?"
17356I keep in with her because when the revolution comes she is going to save me from the guillotine, are n''t you, Nora?"
17356I must see my friends, must n''t I, when they know that I am here and call?"
17356I pulled it half down and built it up again, but it''s an improvement, is n''t it?"
17356I thought you scarcely ever touched wine?"
17356I wish to know whether Mr. Palliser''s abrupt departure from the Manor was due to any disagreement with you?"
17356If you are threatened with what you call political ruin, why on earth should I intervene to prevent it?"
17356If you look into the depths of my wonderful eyes-- I have got wonderful eyes, have n''t I?"
17356Inspector, or are your investigations not yet complete?"
17356Intellectual?
17356Is it because of that rotten trick you played on us the other day?"
17356Is it too late for me to abase myself?"
17356Is it true that I really am entertaining a possible future Prime Minister?"
17356Is n''t it better to have a reasonable and moderate man like myself of influence in their councils than to have to deal with Miller and his lot?"
17356Is there any?"
17356Is there anything else Miller could bring up against you?"
17356It is Thursday week you''re going for us again, is n''t it?"
17356It is agreed?"
17356It is one of the most dignified and beautiful lives I ever knew for a woman, and yet-- are you wholly content?"
17356Just answer me that, will you?"
17356Just why did you bring me that rag and show me those paragraphs?"
17356Mark you, that''s the soundest thing in twentieth century philosophy you''ll ever hear of.--Corner of Clarges Street right for you, eh?"
17356May that content you for a little while, for you see, although I am not a girl, these things, and thoughts of these things, are new to me?"
17356Might it be the lady, after all, sir?"
17356My own fault, you would say?
17356Nature has taken me by the hand-- shows it me.--Tell me it is n''t too late, Jane?
17356Now what did you want of me, please?"
17356Now you will believe, wo n''t you, that I am not altogether an idler in life?
17356Perhaps you would like the ride?"
17356Pleasant neighbours hereabouts, eh?"
17356Shall I tell you what it is that worries me most?"
17356Shall we leave it at that?"
17356Since, however, it was never published, it can surely be treated as nonexistent?"
17356So you are out here?
17356Something disagreeable, I am sure?"
17356Stand in the market place and shout my needs?"
17356Success or failure, what did it matter now?
17356Supposing, now, that I could induce Watkinson to give up Kendal?
17356Surely Palliser was a cut above the ordinary blackmailer?"
17356Surely you would reckon me more of a people''s man than these Whigs and Coalitionists?"
17356Surely your train was very punctual?"
17356Tallente?"
17356Tallente?"
17356Tallente?"
17356Tell me at once with whom you are going to Daly''s?"
17356Tell me exactly what he came about?
17356Tell me how it happened?"
17356Tell me how much time you are going to spare me this next week?"
17356Tell me what it feels like to be one of the world''s governors?"
17356Tell me what the evening papers mean by their placards?"
17356Tell me you care?
17356Tell me, have you made up your mind what manner of man he must be?"
17356Tell my why the publication of an article written years ago is likely to affect Mr. Tallente''s present position so much?"
17356That may or may not be true, but surely it makes his espousal of the people''s cause all the more honest and convincing?
17356That was entirely due to Miller, was n''t it?"
17356The present was all that mattered, and the present had brought him to the gates of failure.--After all, what did a man work for, he wondered?
17356They say that she is half a Socialist.--By the by, how long are we going to stay down here?"
17356This is quite one of the moments of life, is n''t it?"
17356We won the war and what was the result?
17356What about Leeds, Dartrey?"
17356What about Miller''s election next week?"
17356What about sneaking into Downing Street at about midnight, in a cloak and slouch hat, eh?"
17356What chance has the man of moderate means had to improve his position, to save a little for his old age, during the last ten years?
17356What did he say to you when you came hack from Hellesfield?"
17356What did you do with him?"
17356What do you think, Mr. Tallente?
17356What does it matter?
17356What doubts should any sane man have?
17356What exactly do you mean by''disappeared''?"
17356What has become of your secretary?"
17356What have I done that you should all of a sudden build a fence around yourself?"
17356What have you done to him, Andrew?"
17356What have you done with Anthony?"
17356What is time but a relative thing?
17356What more can I do?"
17356What sort of a rumour?"
17356What was the end and aim of it all?
17356What was their reward?
17356What''s the matter with me, I should like to know?
17356What''s this they are telling me about Tony Palliser?"
17356When are you free?"
17356Where am I to find another farm at my time of life?
17356Where shall I put you down?"
17356Whisky and soda or cocktail?"
17356Who believes it?
17356Who is grateful?
17356Who shall measure your six years against my twelve?
17356Who would not say that because I lead a great party in the House of Commons, I have all that I have worked for, that my reward is at hand?
17356Why did you not come to my room?
17356Why do n''t you say what you want to do-- give us some idea of how far you are going to carry your tenets?
17356Why do you worry about your age?"
17356Why have I never heard more of you?"
17356Why not motor to Bath to- morrow?
17356Why should she take it for granted that she had lost her power?
17356Will you be patient?
17356Will you go round to Downing Street and see him afterwards?"
17356Will you remember that you have found your way along a very difficult path to a goal which no one yet has ever reached?
17356Will you shake hands?"
17356Will you stay?
17356Will you tell me whether anything in the nature of blows passed between you and the Honourable Anthony Palliser, previous to his leaving your house?"
17356Would you care to see the chief?"
17356Would you like me to bring Dartrey over, if we are out this way before we go back?"
17356Would you mind explaining why you have sought me out in this singular fashion?"
17356You are going to shoot here this season-- perhaps hunt, later on?"
17356You are not going to be a corespondent or any- thing of that sort?"
17356You are sure you wo n''t let me send you home?"
17356You can wipe that out of your mind, can you not?
17356You have n''t forgotten your way there yet, I expect?"
17356You have said all that you wish to say?"
17356You kept your word to Mr. Dartrey, I see?"
17356You knew, did n''t you, that I was married in America?
17356You know my sister, I think-- Lady Alice Mountgarron?
17356You know that I have been happy to see you?"
17356You saw all the rubbish they wrote because he and I talked together for a quarter of an hour at Mrs. Van Fosdyke''s?"
17356You surely would n''t let a little affair like one election drive you out of public life?
17356You understand?"
17356You will find time to come and see me?"
17356You''re not going to nationalise the railways-- or are you, Tallente; what about season tickets then?"
17356You''ve heard of her, I expect?"
17356You, I suppose, were his instigator in this matter?"
17356and a few French and Belgian orders going to do for me?
17356is Miss Susan there going to take them down in shorthand on her cuff and you make a report to Dartrey when he comes back to- morrow?"
17356she asked,--"the Mr. Miller who was making those speeches at Hellesfield last week?"
22278''And why not?'' 22278 ''But why?''
22278''Came by his death?'' 22278 ''I wish you would do so,''he said very earnestly;''will you, as a personal favour to me?''
22278''That the soul is to guard the door, to close it upon the coffin?''
22278''To lock him up in a lunatic asylum?'' 22278 ''What do you mean?''
22278''What do you mean?'' 22278 A bed for the night,"I replied;"can you accommodate me?"
22278A grandchild?
22278Ah, Bell,he cried,"what about my prognostications of last night?"
22278Ai n''t I all but mad?
22278Am I alive, or is it a dream?
22278And in what way?
22278And now finally you wanted to get rid of me?
22278And now, Mr. Thesiger,I said,"will you not grant me the favour of a sà © ance?"
22278And the other?
22278And then, I suppose, certify as to his insanity?
22278And what about Archibald Wentworth?
22278And what may that be?
22278And what may you be wanting?
22278And what was the verdict of the jury?
22278And you and Inspector Henderson are going to spend the night in the signal- box?
22278And you have really come here to help us?
22278And your superstitious fears with regard to the turret room?
22278And your visit to his room never roused him?
22278And, pray, what can I do?
22278Are you going down?
22278Are you really the gentleman Mr. Cressley has been expecting?
22278Are you sleepy?
22278Are you sure you are going right?
22278Bad news? 22278 Bell, you are a genius,"gasped poor Clinton;"but now, how about the stone at the end of the passage?"
22278But have not there been other deaths in the house?
22278But how did you discover by means of our watches?
22278But how,continued Bainbridge, as we moved a few steps from the fatal spot,"do you account for the interval between the first death and the second?"
22278But what about the marks on the rocks?
22278But what is to happen now?
22278But you do not wish to leave London at present?
22278But, sir, in the name of Heaven, what has happened?
22278By the way, are you going to sleep in the turret room?
22278By the way,I said,"is there much the matter with your agent?"
22278Can you tell me how the fountain in the gallery is turned on or off?
22278Can you tell me why the house is supposed to be haunted?
22278Dear Mr. Bell,--Can you come down on Wednesday and stay with us for a week?
22278Did not this girl give some startling evidence at the inquest?
22278Did you hear it, sir?
22278Did you really say that Mr. Cressley was sleeping in this room?
22278Did you say that Phyllis Curzon is coming to- morrow?
22278Did you take this book down?
22278Do n''t you find the air very close, sir?
22278Do n''t you understand now?
22278Do you mean Wickham?
22278Do you mean that to be final?
22278Do you mean that you are going down again to the tunnel?
22278Do you mean to say you know what it is?
22278Do you see? 22278 Do you think that it is possible for me to have an interview with him?"
22278Got what?
22278Had he anything to do with the death?
22278Has any weapon been found about, with which he could have given such a blow?
22278Has anything ever been done to explain the reason why this room is said to be haunted?
22278Has he given any explanation of his own movements?
22278Has n''t the wife said so? 22278 Has no one been occupying it lately?"
22278Has your watch stopped, too?
22278Have you any theory to account for the theft?
22278Have you got your father''s letter?
22278Have you had wine enough? 22278 Have you no relations?"
22278Have you sent for the police?
22278How are you getting on?
22278How long ago was that?
22278How many did you say there were?
22278How many trains pass in the night?
22278How many?
22278How should I know?
22278I am easily pleased,I said;"can you not give me some sort of bed for the night?"
22278I could not get the opportunity I needed to- night,she wrote,"but will you meet me in the Laurel Walk to- morrow morning at five o''clock?"
22278I know what I am saying; will you not believe me?
22278I suppose you will make London your headquarters?
22278I told him I did not believe a word of what he said; I declared that Uncle Edward could not hate me-- is he not the one I love best in the world? 22278 If you are afraid of mischief, sir, would it not be best for me to lie about here?"
22278In which room is your master?
22278Is anything the matter?
22278Is he alone?
22278Is that so?
22278Is there anything I can do for you? 22278 Is there anything more I can do for either of you gentlemen?"
22278Is there one where we can place him?
22278Is there plenty of oil?
22278It''s Lime Street Station you want, is n''t it?
22278Look here,I said,"what do you say if I stay here to- night?
22278Look,he whispered;"do you see that it will not shut now?
22278Must you stay up any longer?
22278No danger to her, sir?
22278No,I paused, then I said slowly and emphatically,"I went back to the mill even after your warning, and----""What?"
22278No; but who should put out the light?
22278Now do you want to come or not?
22278Now, what does my father mean by this?
22278Oh, you do n''t, do n''t you?
22278Ought I to let her go through, sir?
22278Put out the light?
22278Schedule A?
22278So you killed your victims for the sake of money?
22278Something happened?
22278Suppose they are stolen?
22278That is right; when can you come?
22278Then how do you account for the wound, sir?
22278Then the local is not due for an hour yet?
22278Then what do you want me to do?
22278Then you believe the thief came from without?
22278Then you do not intend going out again?
22278Then you do suspect foul play?
22278To Brent, sir? 22278 Well, and what happened?"
22278Well?
22278Well?
22278Wentworth? 22278 What about your warning to Lady Ridsdale yesterday evening not to trust her maid?"
22278What are you doing down there?
22278What are you poking about down there for?
22278What can be wrong?
22278What did he die of?
22278What do you mean?
22278What do you mean?
22278What do you mean?
22278What do you mean?
22278What do you mean?
22278What do you mean?
22278What do you mean?
22278What do you mean?
22278What do you say to leaving this place at once, and returning, at least, as far as Carlton? 22278 What do you think of it?"
22278What does it matter?
22278What does the legend say?
22278What happened, sir? 22278 What has happened?"
22278What have you come back for?
22278What have you decided to do?
22278What in the name of fortune is the matter with the bed?
22278What is it?
22278What is it?
22278What is it?
22278What is it?
22278What is that? 22278 What is the matter?"
22278What is the particular nature of your friend''s delusion?
22278What is this used for?
22278What is time to us now? 22278 What is to be done?"
22278What is your own opinion with regard to Wynne''s guilt?
22278What sort of fits?
22278What the dickens does it mean, sir?
22278What''s the matter, sir?
22278When was it done, then?
22278Where is my father?
22278Where is your grand- daughter?
22278Where were you all day yesterday?
22278Who is the fellow?
22278Who is this Murdock?
22278Why do you pity her?
22278Why do you say that?
22278Why should I not know Murdock, who happens to be a very special and very old friend of mine? 22278 Why unlikely?"
22278Why, what on earth is the matter, Jimmy?
22278Why, what''s the time?
22278Will it go on for ever? 22278 Will you come down to Felwyn with me to- morrow?
22278Will you come down with me to Somersetshire as my friend, and in the_ rôle_ of a great spiritualist? 22278 Will you excuse the great liberty I take when I ask you to let me know the result of your visit of to- morrow?
22278Will you kindly tell me,I asked,"if this is the way to the Castle Inn?"
22278Without being seen by any occupants of the tents?
22278Wo n''t you come into the drawing- room?
22278Yes, father, of course; do n''t you remember? 22278 Yes,"I answered,"I think I know now; but first tell me how long was I unconscious?"
22278You are sure he would not think it a liberty?
22278You do n''t expect me to believe that?
22278You have heard it?
22278You have heard, Mr. Bell, all about this dreadful mystery?
22278You mentioned your village doctor; do you think he could enlighten me on the subject?
22278You remember, when you were last here, how abruptly Phyllis and her mother left the Abbey?
22278''And how was that?''
22278''What can Phyllis think of this?
22278''What do you think of my uncle''s case?''
22278''Why should I not visit the Castle Inn?
22278''Why?''
22278A Master of Mysteries.--Page 234]"And he gives you the benefit of his information?"
22278Bainbridge?--it will, you are sure, are you not?"
22278Bell?"
22278Bell?"
22278Bell?"
22278But now, is it likely that Pritchard would try to climb rocks like these, so steep as they are?"
22278But now, will you do one thing more?"
22278But, after all, the real thing to discover is this,"I continued:"what killed Davidson?
22278By the way, has it anything to do with Cressley Hall?"
22278By the way, would it not be well for you to leave The Hynde for a short time?"
22278By what mysterious manner had it been removed?
22278By what train will you come?"
22278Can I see your husband or can I not?"
22278Can not you put me up somehow?"
22278Can there be any one standing in front of it, do you think?"
22278Can you assist me by directing me to some good jobmaster from whom I can hire a carriage and horses?"
22278Can you give me a shake- down of any sort?"
22278Can you help me?"
22278Can you not put off your visit until to- morrow evening?"
22278Can you supply me?"
22278Can you take me to his room?"
22278Could the pipe be used as a speaking- tube when the water was turned off?
22278Dalton?"
22278Did you ever see such beauties?"
22278Do n''t you remember, Henderson,"he added, turning to the Inspector,"we had felt a slight shock all over South Wales about three weeks back?"
22278Do n''t you see?"
22278Do you see your way to elucidate the mystery?"
22278Do you want me to leave London at present?"
22278Excuse me, sir, but was it you called out''Lock''just now?"
22278For what purpose had he bribed the driver of the cab in order to make me lose my train?
22278Had I suddenly gone mad, or was I still suffering from some hideous nightmare?
22278Had n''t you best take up your traps and be off?"
22278Had the cabman been bribed by Wickham?
22278Have you any theory to account for these deaths, sir?"
22278Have you ever observed that he happens to be about when you and I are engaged in serious conversation?"
22278He looks very ill, does he not?"
22278How are we to stop it?"
22278How was it possible for him to make so grave a mistake?
22278I could not make it out at all, so I shouted out as loud as I could,''Who are you?
22278I cried;"how can I have frightened you?"
22278I said;"not an accident, I hope?"
22278Is it not superb?
22278Is it not the case that you are engaged to marry him?''
22278It appears, from what you say, that Wynne''s life hangs more or less on my being able to clear away the mystery?"
22278Just hand me my stick, will you?"
22278Look here, sir, will you have the goodness to get out of the place?
22278Maybe you would n''t mind stepping down the street and speaking to him?"
22278Miss Thesiger seems to think that there is foul play; but have you any suspicions on your own account?"
22278Mr. Bell, is there any chance of your being able to help me?"
22278Not the murdered man?"
22278Now is it''yes''or''no''?"
22278Now, Dr. Stanmore, will you help me?"
22278Now, tell me, have you carefully studied Brahminism?"
22278Oh, why do n''t you leave us both in peace?''
22278One day he said to me:"''Do you keep your door locked at night?''
22278Shall we go into another room, gentlemen?"
22278Shall we go into the gallery now?"
22278The servant told me that you were waiting for Mrs. Murdock-- can I give her any message from you?"
22278The villagers have thought so for a long time, and this second death seems to prove it, does it not?"
22278Then he added, as the man left the room,--"I suppose, sir, your business is very urgent?"
22278Then why should he know Murdock, and why should a lay figure be put in Murdock''s bed?
22278There is urgent need why I should see your master immediately; where is he?"
22278Was Cressley beneath?
22278Was I too daring?
22278Was it possible that I had been followed by Wickham, who took these means of circumventing me?
22278Was it possible that Wentworth had been hurled into it?
22278Was it possible that some one was playing a trick on_ me_?--and if so, by what means?
22278Was it really a bed at all?
22278Was it wrong of me to risk my life in this manner?
22278Was it-- was it Murdock?
22278Well, Mr. Bell, I see you have finished lunch; will you come into the drawing- room?"
22278Well, Mr. Bell, what do you propose to do?"
22278Wentworth?"
22278What devilry could be at work to produce this?
22278What did he mean by saying that he would not let the means interfere with the end?
22278What do you wish me to do?"
22278What in the name of goodness was the awful horror through which I had lived?"
22278What in the name of heaven could it be?
22278What other evidence can I honestly give?"
22278What was he doing in Murdock''s house?
22278What was the matter with me?
22278What was the matter?
22278What was the matter?
22278What was the reason?
22278What''s the matter?''
22278What, in the name of Heaven, does it mean, Mr. Bell?
22278When did you say that your uncle first heard the idol speak?"
22278When would the shapeless form that was inside the coffin let us go?
22278Where is Helen?
22278Where was I going?
22278Where was I?
22278Who had planned and executed this murderous device?
22278Who had sent the second telegram?
22278Why had I been taken upstairs to see it?
22278Why should Pritchard have left his box and gone down to the tunnel?
22278Why was I sliding, sliding?
22278Why was a lay figure in Murdock''s bed?
22278Why, also, through a most unnatural accident, should I have lost my train?
22278Why, having done so, should he have made a wild attempt to scale the side of the cutting, an impossible feat at any time?
22278Will you come and see us, and give us the benefit of your advice?
22278Will you come?"
22278Will you undertake the case?"
22278Would the lock never empty?
22278Would this do the same?
22278You are quite sure that Murdock is asleep?"
22278You do n''t mean to say he is in danger?"
22278You will not mind spending one night there by yourself?"
22278_ The watch had stopped._"What is the time, Clinton?"
22278have I been asleep?"
22278the young gentleman who has just come from Australia?
22278what could this mean?
22278what was the matter?
22278where is my child?"
22278wo n''t you believe me?''
16127''No alimony''?
16127A diamond cross? 16127 A diamond cross?"
16127A lady?
16127A slight abrasion in the left hand you say?
16127Accident?
16127Ah, Chet, you''ve come in for another talk, have you?
16127Ah, Mr. Grafton, you wish to see me?
16127Ah, so that''s the game, is it?
16127Amy-- Miss Mason-- how does_ she_ take this?
16127An electric switch on Darcy''s work bench?
16127And after the quarrel you went to bed?
16127And do you think Singa Phut killed his partner with the watch also, Colonel?
16127And his name is Colonel Brentnall?
16127And how does he bear up under it?
16127And of course_ he_ may have been struck on his head after he died from the poisoned watch?
16127And so Spotty has confessed? 16127 And the watch was in Ali''s hand?"
16127And there was none?
16127And there were no other injuries on the body?
16127And was it stolen from you?
16127And what about Singa Phut and Harry King?
16127And what am I to do, Amy?
16127And what can I do for you to- day, Colonel?
16127And what did King say?
16127And what was the talk about money?
16127And who are you?
16127And you did n''t call the janitor?
16127And you did n''t hear anything all night?
16127And you did n''t see your cousin again until-- when?
16127And you''ve been with him; is that it?
16127Another murder?
16127Any news, Shag? 16127 Any queer noise?
16127Anybody else in the house besides you?
16127Anything I can do, Colonel?
16127Anything else, Colonel?
16127Anything gone from the store?
16127Are there? 16127 Are we in?
16127Are you Colonel Brentnall?
16127Are you going to offer that to the jury to clear Darcy?
16127Are you going to work on that case, Colonel?
16127Are you sure, Colonel?
16127At ten o''clock, you say?
16127Beg pardon, sir, but I--"What?
16127But Amy-- and the disgrace?
16127But are you sure it did, Doc?
16127But did he really kill his partner?
16127But he never did?
16127But how could it? 16127 But how did he know that Larch killed her?"
16127But how in the world could she get it, when Spotty had it, and the police that are holding him have that, and he''s resisting extradition? 16127 But suppose King goes away?"
16127But the blow on her head-- the stab wound in her side--?
16127But what about the electric wires on Darcy''s table?
16127But what are you going to do about that watch-- and all that it means?
16127But what can we do without you?
16127But what did it_ feel_ like?
16127But what did you do?
16127But what was it?
16127But what''s it all about?
16127But who would have struck or stabbed her after that?
16127But you are the one from New York?
16127By_ accident_ do you mean?
16127Can it be?
16127Can you produce the real murderer, Colonel Ashley?
16127Can you tell which killed her?
16127Colonel Ashley?
16127Colonel, did you ever know me to split on a pal unless he split first?
16127Could both have been delivered by the same person?
16127Could not Singa Phut have done it?
16127Diamonds? 16127 Did I tell you to speak?"
16127Did he give any particulars?
16127Did he have any visitors to- day?
16127Did he pay it?
16127Did he? 16127 Did n''t Spotty confess to stealing this diamond cross from Mrs. Darcy, and killing her because she would n''t let him get away with it?"
16127Did she get shocked from the wires that run into the interior of the case?
16127Did you bring my diamonds as you promised?
16127Did you come directly down to the store from your room?
16127Did you know it was a poisoned watch?
16127Did you tell him where the best fishing was?
16127Do I want him?
16127Do n''t what?
16127Do n''t you know--_Jimmie_ boy?
16127Do you happen to know what became of that watch-- the one in her hand? 16127 Do you know Aaron Grafton?"
16127Do you know who killed my cousin?
16127Do you mean a receipt for the diamonds?
16127Do you mean that he''s_ dead_?
16127Do you suppose,asked the jeweler,"that Harry King could have had anything to do with this case?"
16127Do you think he knew the deadly nature of the watch?
16127Do you-- do you think you can get over it, Colonel?
16127Does that answer all your questions, Colonel?
16127Does yo''know who the colonel is?
16127Drop it?
16127Eh? 16127 Fishing?
16127Foolishness?
16127Going yet-- see?
16127Good news? 16127 Gun?"
16127Has your father a trout stream?
16127Have a talk with Singa Phut? 16127 Have you gotten any further into the mystery?"
16127Have you-- have you got to take her away?
16127He is n''t?
16127He was n''t exactly_ charged_ with it, but-- Well, go on, what did he confess to?
16127Held? 16127 How about Spotty?"
16127How about having his watch repaired?
16127How about young Darcy?
16127How did Mrs. Darcy come to have the watch in her hand?
16127How did it happen? 16127 How did it happen?"
16127How did you know I was here?
16127How do you mean if things go right?
16127How does it sound to you, gentlemen?
16127How in the name of Heaven did you know that?
16127How is Amy?
16127How is she, Colonel?
16127How long has this been going on, Jack?
16127How soon?
16127How you going to get at him, Colonel?
16127How''d it happen?
16127How''d it happen?
16127How?
16127I beg your pardon?
16127I said, where have you been?
16127I think it did though, Jack, just as it killed Shere Ali and just as--"Do you mean-- that''s what killed Mrs. Darcy-- that watch?
16127I wonder if she has seen me?
16127I wonder if she really believes he''ll keep his word-- or can keep it? 16127 I wonder what''s up this time?"
16127I wonder,mused the colonel,"If my ground bait is all prepared?
16127I wonder,mused the colonel,"what his object was in coming to the Darcy place, and nosing around as he did?
16127I?
16127Is anything gone?
16127Is he a jeweler?
16127Is he all right-- safe-- not one of them gars-- you know, the fellows that use a silk cord to strangle you with?
16127Is it much of a mystery-- I mean-- er-- anything but the usual blood and thunder stuff?
16127Is n''t it enough that you have ruined my life? 16127 Is n''t it?"
16127Is n''t there any one else in the house?
16127Is n''t this the diamond cross that Mrs. Larch owned? 16127 Is she-- is she dead?"
16127Is that your dagger?
16127Is that your knife, Harry King?
16127Is we, Colonel? 16127 Is yo''gwine be out all night, Colonel?"
16127Isaac Walton? 16127 Just because you used to walk there in your-- in other days,"he substituted quickly,"is no reason why you should n''t now, is it?"
16127Killed by it?--how?
16127Killed, eh?
16127Killed?
16127Know when you''ll be back?
16127Like a hand?
16127Like to talk with''em about it?
16127Man, do n''t you understand? 16127 Memories?
16127Mr. Grafton? 16127 Mr. Kedge, in N''York, sah?"
16127Mrs. Darcy had no enemies?
16127Murdered?
16127My lawyer?
16127New York papers?
16127No alimony, eh? 16127 No double crossin''?"
16127No, I mean did you hear anything in the night?
16127No? 16127 Nor the servant-- what''s her name?
16127Not after me, Colonel?
16127Not after me? 16127 Not here?"
16127Not need them?
16127Nothing else?
16127Now what,mused the colonel to himself,"is_ he_ fishing for?"
16127Oh, did he? 16127 Oh, so that''s what King heard about an electric lathe?"
16127Oh, that gink? 16127 Oh, that you, Jack?
16127Oh-- who-- who are_ you_?
16127On bail? 16127 Out where you said Mrs. Larch is staying?"
16127Pinkus and Donovan; have n''t they, Carroll?
16127Poisoned needle, Colonel?
16127Say, do you know something about this killing that you''re keeping back from us?
16127Say, what''s this for?
16127Scratch yourself-- on a watch?
16127Scuse me, Colonel, sah,he began,"but does yo''want t''heah any news?"
16127Seen him? 16127 Seen that colonel guy to- day?"
16127Send him on? 16127 Shag,"asked the colonel, still chuckling,"what do you think that nincompoop had the infernal audacity to offer me in the way of a book?"
16127Shall I ring for the wagon?
16127She has the missing diamond cross?
16127She? 16127 Show you her collection of coins?
16127Singa Phut''s place? 16127 So that I may rely on your silence and-- er-- discretion?"
16127Sure? 16127 That big department store?"
16127That ticker killed the dog? 16127 The best detective?"
16127The colonel guy?
16127The hotel keeper?
16127The old lady''s dead-- murdered it looks like-- and--"What''s that?
16127The one who wanted to sell me a detective story?
16127The question is, what do you want to see?
16127The reason she asked no alimony?
16127The solution to my problem?
16127The watch that is still ticking?
16127Then are n''t we at Colchester yet?
16127Then how did you get that cross?
16127Then how did you get that diamond cross? 16127 Then what''s this talk about the statue-- not wanting it in the house--_whose_ house?"
16127Then why the worry, except about getting it back?
16127Then you came downstairs and found Mrs. Darcy lying here-- dead?
16127Then you do believe in me, Colonel?
16127Then you feel sure the stab wound killed her?
16127Then you think Darcy is cleared of any connection with the poison watch?
16127Then you think he did it?
16127To his work bench?
16127Too free with it?
16127Too old to go_ fishin''_, sah, Colonel? 16127 Too old, Colonel?"
16127Trouble?
16127Want to say where you''re going?
16127Was Mrs. Darcy in bed then?
16127Was he at the store the day of the-- the day Mrs. Darcy was killed?
16127Was it the striking of the clock that awakened you?
16127Was n''t it bolted?
16127Was that all?
16127Was the quarrel specially bitter?
16127Was this odd coin in her collection?
16127We will not be disturbed, and--"Up there?
16127Well, assuming that, what next?
16127Well, boys, what''s this I hear about another murder?
16127Well, what does he say, Basset?
16127Well, what is it? 16127 Well, what made all the clocks stop at different times?
16127Well, whatever it is, who owns it?
16127Whash matter you fellers, anyhow? 16127 What I did?
16127What I did?
16127What are the chances of getting him off legally if we go at it from a negative standpoint?
16127What did it?
16127What did you tell her?
16127What do I think? 16127 What do you call it then?"
16127What do you intend to do?
16127What do you mean, Colonel?
16127What do you mean?
16127What do you mean?
16127What do you mean?
16127What do you think about it?
16127What does he say?
16127What in the world for? 16127 What is it?
16127What is it?
16127What is it?
16127What is you''desire, Colonel?
16127What killed the poor brute?
16127What kind of talk is that?
16127What luck, Colonel?
16127What made him hold back on me then? 16127 What makes it sound so plain?"
16127What one watch? 16127 What shocked her?"
16127What sort of a repair job?
16127What sort of present, Jack?
16127What things? 16127 What time did it happen?"
16127What was in the package?
16127What watch?
16127What were the wires for?
16127What''s all this I hear?
16127What''s that noise?
16127What''s that ticking sound?
16127What''s that, Jack?
16127What''s that?
16127What''s that?
16127What''s the matter, Colonel?
16127What''s the matter--''fraid of soiling your hands?
16127What''s the matter? 16127 What''s the matter?"
16127What''s the row?
16127What''s this? 16127 What''s up, Bill?"
16127What''s up?
16127What''s up?
16127What-- what''s this?
16127What?
16127What?
16127What?
16127What?
16127Where did Harry King get that odd coin which made it look bad in his case for a while?
16127Where is she?
16127Where is your room?
16127Where were you when you were robbed of it?
16127Where were you-- what did you do?
16127Where''d you get it?
16127Where''s the watch now?
16127Where''s your hooks and line?
16127Wheresh my li''l preshent for wifely? 16127 Wheresh my paper cutter, Darcy?"
16127Wheresh tha''paper cutter I left for you t''''grave Pearl''s name on? 16127 Who are you?
16127Who did it-- when-- how?
16127Who else could have croaked her?
16127Who else could?
16127Who gave it to you?
16127Who in the name of all the devils in hades are you?
16127Who is it? 16127 Who is it?
16127Who is it?
16127Who is that man?
16127Who owns it?
16127Who you talkin''to?
16127Who''s Walton? 16127 Who''s asleep?"
16127Who? 16127 Whose watch is it?"
16127Why Polonius?
16127Why not? 16127 Why not?
16127Why not?
16127Why not?
16127Why not?
16127Why not?
16127Why not?
16127Why, what''s the matter with that?
16127Why?
16127Will you join me in a Welsh rabbit?
16127Will you walk a little way with me?
16127With my knife-- that paper cutter dagger I was giving as a present to-- to my wife?
16127Wonder what did it?
16127Yes, what is it?
16127You are a private detective?
16127You call her Cynthia?
16127You did?
16127You do n''t know of any diamonds missing from Mrs. Darcy''s stock, do you?
16127You do n''t like to tell me? 16127 You do n''t mean Singa Phut?"
16127You do n''t mean that Larch struck her-- that there was physical abuse, do you?
16127You do n''t want to see the dog suffer, do you?
16127You got Pearl''s name''graved on it, Darcy, ole man?
16127You lost some of those diamonds?
16127You mean anything I say might-- might be used-- against me?
16127You mean lock the place up?
16127You mean you''re not sure about Darcy?
16127You say he''s a private detective?
16127You tried the third degree on him, of course?
16127You were careful not to scratch yourself on the needle?
16127You wo n''t keep the store open?
16127You''ve often heard me talk of fishing and hunting, have n''t you?
16127You-- you wo n''t leave me here alone-- will you?
16127You-- you''ll go with me?
16127Am I right or wrong?
16127And can it be done?"
16127And if you let me hear a whisper of anything bordering on a case you and I part company-- do you hear?"
16127And is the colonel really going to take my case?"
16127And is there any truth in the newspaper story about the same watch that was found in Mrs. Darcy''s hand being found in the hand of the dead man?"
16127And it''s a sort of fishing, too, is n''t it?".
16127And the stopping of the clocks?
16127And the watch?
16127And yet, if this is here, how could her husband send it to her?
16127And yet-- Oh, well, what''s the use of speculating?
16127And you found the old lady like this?"
16127Any message you want to send to Miss Mason?"
16127Any of the doors or windows forced?"
16127Are there any good streams?"
16127Are you all ready, Colonel?"
16127Are you in condition to talk?"
16127Are you prepared to keep it if I walk a way with you?"
16127Are you sure about that, Young?"
16127Arrest me for murdering the old woman, will you?
16127Basset, what_ does_ it all mean?"
16127But has anything else happened?"
16127But how did it happen?"
16127But how did you know I was a detective and stopping at the Adams House?"
16127But please, wo n''t you help me?
16127But she interrupted with:"You''re the detective, are n''t you?"
16127But she still believes in me, does n''t she?"
16127But what ailed him, Doc?"
16127But what do you say to a julep?"
16127But what is to have prevented her from having been punctured by the watch just before she received those hurts?
16127But what''s your hurry?
16127But when his pal went back on him--""What do you mean-- his pal went back on him?"
16127But who does yo''s''pect did dish yeah killin''?"
16127But, scuse me, did n''t yo, figger on doin''some detectin''an''give up fishin''?"
16127By the way what became of him?"
16127CHAPTER VIII THE DIAMOND CROSS"Colonel Ashley?"
16127CHAPTER XVI THE COLONEL WONDERS"What did that, Colonel?
16127Ca n''t you see?
16127Campbell''s?"
16127Can he and Spotty be up to some trick between them and did the gunman get away with the cross?
16127Can you explain that?"
16127Chet poisoned?"
16127Could I hire you to take me to that brook you spoke of, where you say there are such big fish?"
16127Could not he have both struck Mrs. Darcy with the hunter statue and stabbed her in trying to get away from her?
16127Could your apparatus have done that?"
16127Cynthia''s husband may ask about it at any moment, and what excuse can she give?"
16127Darcy--?"
16127Darcy?"
16127Darcy?"
16127Darcy?"
16127Darcy?"
16127Darcy?"
16127Did I say anything?"
16127Did he ever do any business with you-- I mean buy anything in the store?"
16127Did he hope that some spirit of the poor, murdered woman might still be lingering there, to whisper to him what he sought to learn?
16127Did it mean a visitor for any of them?
16127Did it mean their lawyer was coming to bid them cheer up, or to tell them it looked black for their chances?
16127Did n''t I tell you so in my letter?"
16127Did that mean the real murderer?
16127Did you ever read de Maupassant''s''Diamond Necklace?''"
16127Did you hear anything?"
16127Did you hear anything?"
16127Do n''t you understan''?
16127Do you care to hear about it?"
16127Do you really suspect him of the murder?"
16127Do you think I''m going to ruin just because you could n''t stand a little rough treatment now and then?
16127Do you want him?"
16127Do you want me to follow King out of town?"
16127Do you want me to give names?"
16127Does anybody in town know you''re here?"
16127Ever take it up?"
16127First, which wound killed Mrs. Darcy?
16127Got a place where I can wash my hands?"
16127Got her name all''graved on it nice an''pretty?
16127Got some friends in town?"
16127Have a drink?"
16127Have we arrived?
16127Have you been buying a newspaper?"
16127Have you it?"
16127Have you looked over the stock all you want to?"
16127He is?
16127He must-- Colonel, do n''t you see what this means?"
16127He''ll stick by Jimmie through thick and thin, for he says he knows he''s innocent,""And yourself?
16127He''s gone?"
16127Hear it tick?"
16127How about it, Jim?"
16127How about it?"
16127How about it?"
16127How does your loyalty meet the test?"
16127How is it around here?
16127How''d you find things when you came downstairs?
16127How''s the weather, Shag?"
16127How?"
16127I am sorry but I--""You did n''t strike him, did you?"
16127I can not compound a felony, so if you have in mind the disclosure of anything that would incriminate you--""Incriminate me?"
16127I do n''t want to seem harsh, or impolite, but I can''t--""Not even for double your usual fee?
16127I give it to you-- have''grave-- Pearl''s name-- wheresh my knife?"
16127I hate to say it--_murderer_?"
16127I hope she finds as much happiness as--""As who?"
16127I suppose Kedge is very busy now?"
16127I suppose the lady-- there is a lady in it, of course?"
16127I told you that, did n''t I?"
16127I wish--"There came another knock on the door and a voice asked:"Is Chet in here, Colonel?
16127I wonder if he''s telling the truth when he says he did n''t go near the place?
16127I wonder when I''ll begin to unravel some of them?"
16127I wonder who his lady friend is?
16127I wonder, if he gets into the sea of New York, if I''ll ever be able to land him?
16127I wonder-- I wonder if she''ll have anything to do with me after this?
16127I wonder-- Oh, but what''s the use of wondering?
16127I wonder--""Oh, what am I bothering about it for, anyhow?
16127I''ll have to be-- held?"
16127I--""Possibly in memory of other days?"
16127In the interests of justice--""Do you think this will help in solving the mystery?"
16127Is it possible he did n''t mention fishing?"
16127Is n''t he a trump?
16127Is she in any danger, Colonel?"
16127Is the diamond cross in her possession, or did Grafton say that so I''d drop the case and-- leave him out of it?
16127Is this Colchester?"
16127Just because it was in a dead man''s hand-- and in a woman''s?"
16127Kenneth?"
16127Kenneth?"
16127May I come to see you?
16127Me study watches?
16127Might have been from a black- jack?"
16127Murder?
16127No trouble on the trip?
16127Not that I''m likely to, for I never heard of being scratched by a watch, but why not?"
16127Not_ really_?"
16127Now how about last night-- was there any row-- any noise?
16127Now what do you say to-- Colonel Ashley?"
16127Now which was it?"
16127Now you dare ask me for them again?"
16127Now, what is it?"
16127Oh, Colonel Brentnall, you will help us-- won''t you?"
16127Or did it have anything to do with the strange wires that led to the work table of James Darcy?
16127Or was it Walton?
16127Out toward Pompey you say?
16127Place on fire?
16127Prosecutor?"
16127S''pose they all ran down at once?"
16127Sallie?"
16127Say, does he want a book-- a, paper?
16127Say, if he lets out anything we can use against Darcy-- you know, legitimate stuff-- pass it on to me and Thong, will you?
16127Second, who inflicted either or both wounds?
16127Shall I leave the watch apart this way, Colonel?"
16127Shall I let him in?"
16127Shall we send him on?"
16127She''s killed you say?"
16127So Larch is going to visit his wife?"
16127So far you have n''t been recognized then?"
16127So it was to find the diamond cross you visited the store of the murdered woman?"
16127So the old lady''s dead, is she?
16127So you do n''t dare tell your friend the diamond cross is gone?"
16127So you got back with Spotty, did you?
16127So you walked in secret?"
16127So you want me to try to get this diamond cross, belonging to the married lady, back for you without her husband knowing anything about it?"
16127Then he looked up at Shag and remarked:"Did n''t I tell you this was a perfectly beautiful day?"
16127Then he said to Shag:"Do you know where I ought to be now?"
16127Then it does look bad for him?"
16127Then the younger detective glanced at Shag, winked an eye, and murmured:"Through until the next time; eh Shag?"
16127Then you never knew your wires might, by the closing of the switch on your table, shock some one standing near the show case?"
16127Then, as if in desperation, he turned to the shrinking negro and went on:"You say there''s a mystery about it, Shag?"
16127Then, to get to the more personal problem, did either King or Darcy commit the murder, and, if so, why?
16127There had been other lovers whom she might have wedded, it was rumored, and more than one had remarked:"Why did she take him?"
16127There was a shuffling of feet, and a rather thick and unsteady voice asked:"Whash matter here?
16127This is the hand in which the ticking watch was found, was it not?"
16127Try it on him?"
16127Warren?"
16127Warren?"
16127Was that so?"
16127We?
16127Well, detective work is a sort of hunt, is n''t it, Shag?"
16127Well, now, you black rascal, did you say you''ve got a newspaper with an account in it of a strange and mysterious murder right here in_ this_ city?"
16127Well, what''s up now?"
16127Well, will this never end?
16127What are you going to do next?"
16127What d''you mean?
16127What d''you s''pose the warden''s all lit up for?"
16127What devilish thing did that?"
16127What did you do next?"
16127What do you mean?"
16127What do you mean?"
16127What especially did you want to tell me?"
16127What happened during the night?
16127What is it?
16127What is it?"
16127What is it?"
16127What is your theory?"
16127What road''s he travel on?"
16127What sort?
16127What you going to do, Colonel?
16127What''s a family good for, anyhow, after you''re grown up?
16127What''s in it that''s so mighty interesting?"
16127What''s that Walton says about man proposing and Providence disposing?
16127What''s that watch ticking?"
16127What''s that-- at the jewelry store you say?
16127What''s that?
16127What''s the matter, if they''ve got to have a murder, with doing it in the afternoon?
16127What''s the matter?
16127When I go to see Miss Mason--""You are going to see Amy?"
16127When did it happen?"
16127When did you leave New York?"
16127When''d you find her like this?"
16127Where have you been?"
16127Where is he now?"
16127Where is it?"
16127Where were you, and what did you do?"
16127Where''s that rascal Shag?"
16127Where''s the telephone?"
16127Where?
16127Wheresh my gold knife, Darcy?
16127Wheresh my gold- mounted paper cutter, Darcy?"
16127Wheresh my paper cutter, Darcy, ol''man?"
16127Which shall I tackle first?
16127Who belongs to it?"
16127Who else?"
16127Who found her this way?"
16127Who has it?"
16127Who is he?"
16127Who put it up?
16127Who''s killed, Shag?"
16127Who''s that at the door?"
16127Who?"
16127Whut is it?"
16127Whut kind of a book did yo''offer de colonel jest now?"
16127Why are you in such haste to get away?"
16127Why could n''t he keep out of this?
16127Why did n''t he confess to me, Basset?"
16127Why not?
16127Yes, Shag, what is it?
16127Yes-- what is it?
16127You are engaged to be married to James Darcy, who is-- er-- detained as a-- er-- as a_ witness_ in the murder of his cousin?"
16127You buy?"
16127You do n''t believe Darcy ever put that poison needle arrangement in it?"
16127You do n''t mean to tell me,_ he''s_ killed, do you?"
16127You have n''t any reason to suspect any one, have you, Darcy?"
16127You know I''m working to save Darcy?"
16127You know most of the timepieces_ were_ stopped-- all of them, in fact, except the watch in your cousin''s hand?"
16127You know the stock, do n''t you?"
16127You managed to make friends with him?"
16127You put up this little game with your lover Grafton, did you?
16127You saw the body carried out-- or are you still so drunk you ca n''t remember?
16127You say he and Larch have been looking at a packet of diamonds?"
16127You want to know-- what-- what I did?"
16127You will help us, wo n''t you?"
16127You will, wo n''t you?
16127You''re pretty drunk, for a fact, but do you happen to know where you were and what you did last night-- and early this morning?
16127You-- you do n''t believe me guilty because of this new development, do you?"
16127You_ ai n''t_?"
16127do n''t try to hide anything from me, do you hear?
16127do you know anything about this?"
16127he suddenly cried,"there''s not a clock in this place ticking-- notice that?
16127is n''t this dreadful?"
16127is that you?"
16127murmured the manager,"What is?"
16127what object would I have?"
16127what''s the matter?
16127what''s the use?"
16127where are you?"
16127whispered the follower of Izaak Walton,"I wonder if he came here to consult my agency?"
23432''Begin to tek off-- chenge his mine-- an''say:How I ki''him?"
23432''I suppose you are not a man of science yourself? 23432 ''Vay soon Jan examine tabuh; say:"O my de- ah wife, whatta faw you setta dissa tabuh for two peoples?
23432A ghost for Goresthorpe Grange?
23432A ghost you said, did n''t you? 23432 Ah, but what makes birds and animals happy?"
23432All night?
23432And after six months?
23432And could he recognise the signs if we told him?
23432And is the house among the reeds still secure?
23432And is the missus quite well, and are the neighbours flourishing? 23432 And that was how these criminals were_ converted_?"
23432And that was why the ghost no longer opposed the match?
23432And the missis,''ow is she? 23432 And what does Chan Tow mean?"
23432And what happened afterward?
23432And when did you get in?
23432And where, may I ask?
23432And why did the ghost go away?
23432And''ow are you, sir?
23432Another victim on the smoking altar of vegetarianism?
23432Are you succeeding all right?
23432Are you without pity then?
23432Assuredly that is not a common article, but still, how much do you want? 23432 But he kept his title?"
23432But what?
23432Ca n''t you see?
23432Can not you guess then when the final revelation will be? 23432 Can_ no one_ tell me?"
23432Catch cold?
23432Chan Tow got_ do n''t know_?
23432Chan Tow kept groaning like an old barn door, and the missionary man kept perspiring like a glass of ice- water?
23432Changed his mind?
23432Comfortable little room, is n''t it? 23432 Did he succeed in driving the ghosts away?"
23432Did he succeed?
23432Did n''t I ever tell you about them?
23432Did the ghost leave Scotland for America as soon as the old baron died?
23432Did you hear?
23432Do I strike you as such?
23432Do I understand you to intimate that both ghosts were there together?
23432Do you believe it?
23432Do you mean to say you slept out- of- doors last night in that deluge?
23432Does the highrob follow him and kill him?
23432Doing what? 23432 Doing?
23432Done well? 23432 From any particular spirit?"
23432Given it up?
23432Has Mr. Darcy come yet?
23432Has that been your occupation then?
23432Have you ever known this spirit on this earth?
23432How God converted a Chinese criminal?
23432How can you be so idiotic, Matilda?
23432How could a ghost, or even two ghosts, keep a girl from marrying the man she loved?
23432How did he come over,queried Dear Jones--"in the steerage, or as a cabin passenger?"
23432How did he know they were swearing? 23432 How is it possible you did not hear?
23432How much will you charge me for this mummy fragment?
23432How the dickens is that? 23432 How''s that?"
23432I hope she was n''t a daughter of that loud and vulgar old Mrs. Sutton whom I met at Saratoga, one summer, four or five years ago?
23432I suppose you would like to hear from me, if I did find out anything?
23432Is n''t it too bad that I should let myself be bothered by such stuff as that?
23432Is this the way to the Manor House?
23432It began to snow?
23432It is a strange case, is n''t it?
23432It made him very happy to have stolen earrings from a little girl?
23432It seems curious, does n''t it?
23432It was a queer sort of opinion to get from a man of science, was n''t it? 23432 Let me see,"he said at last;"we were at the inquest, were n''t we?
23432Like a fortune- teller?
23432Look over it, will you?
23432Mad?
23432Magistrate say to highrob:''You know me? 23432 Nothing happened?"
23432Now how could it be the ghost of a witch, since the witches were all burned at the stake? 23432 Perhaps he kept his countenance veiled?"
23432She related to me things-- But,he added, after a pause, and suddenly changing his manner,"why occupy ourselves with these follies?
23432Slept well?
23432So, besides being the owner of a haunted house in Salem, he was also a haunted man in Scotland?
23432Spooks?
23432The rival ghosts?
23432The spirit medium?
23432Then how came it that the father and son were lost in the yacht off the Hebrides?
23432Then what about Christianity?
23432To see Pan meant death, did it not?
23432Trespass? 23432 Unconscious?"
23432Victim?
23432Was it the guardian- angel ghost warning him off the match?
23432We'', dissa magistrate, whatta he do? 23432 Well, what does that matter?"
23432Well?
23432What country do you come from, what is your age?
23432What did I do? 23432 What did he do?"
23432What did he do?
23432What did you do then?
23432What do you mean by''such an attitude toward nature''?
23432What do you think of it?
23432What does that matter?
23432What has all this got to do with your ghost?
23432What have you done to yourself?
23432What is a horse- carry- chair?
23432What recompense do you desire?
23432What science do you mean?
23432What sort of communication do you want-- a written one?
23432What then do you expect the final revelation will do for you?
23432What then?
23432What was he like?
23432What was it, Uncle Larry?
23432What was the merry jest?
23432What were we looking up, again?
23432What? 23432 What?"
23432When are you going to do it?
23432Where did they get the banjo?
23432Who could get us such a thing?
23432Who was she?
23432Who were they?
23432Why was that?
23432Why, what in the world_ should_ happen?
23432Will the particular spirit he desires to speak with communicate?
23432Will this spirit communicate in writing with this gentleman?
23432Will you not buy something from me to- day, sir? 23432 Will you seat yourself at the table, Mr. Linley,"said the medium,"and place your hands upon it?"
23432Wot did I say to the young gent wot spoke to me in the bar of the Lame Dog? 23432 Would you mind saying that again, sir?
23432Yes, that is my name,he said laughing,"what is the matter?"
23432You do n''t mean to say that they knew any just cause or impediment why they should not forever after hold their peace?
23432You do n''t mean to say that you carry ghosts about in bags?
23432You do n''t mean to tell me that the ghost which haunted the house was a woman?
23432You mean business?
23432You remember how well he managed that business about the crest?
23432You''ll have some, wo n''t you?
23432''Can you do it?''
23432''It struck you as peculiar, did it?''
23432A gusty day, sir, is n''t it?''
23432A little more Benedictine?
23432A queer thing, was n''t it?
23432After all, what was the life of a little peddling Jew, in comparison with the interests of science?
23432All you say to me I feel that I have heard before-- but where?--but when?
23432And all the others--''ow''s all their''ealth?"
23432And how is this extraordinary chapter of incomprehensibilities going to be a"lesson"to us?
23432And how much have you learned?
23432And how the mischief could he get run over by a horse that had already passed beyond him?
23432And the result?
23432And what are we to take"warning"by?
23432And what has my kindness done for me?
23432And where, O where, was the pride of Goresthorpe Grange, the glorious plate which was to have been the delectation of generations of D''Odds?
23432And why was Mrs. D. standing in the gray light of dawn, wringing her hands and repeating her monotonous refrain?
23432And, above all, what has the intoxicating"bowl"got to do with it, anyhow?
23432Animula was there,--but what could have happened?
23432Are you aware that we have been here nearly four hours?
23432Assa conductor,''Whatta is?''
23432Besides, what would Jorrocks''ghost be to this?
23432But of what account was all that?
23432But the seer himself-- where was he?
23432But was it worth while to spend six years of greatly occupied life in order to look twenty?
23432But what to make of"Traverse Handel S.?"
23432But where have you been, Dyson?
23432By what name am I to call you,--since you will answer to none that I remember?
23432Can it be possible?"
23432Come to daw littyoneddy----""Little old what?"
23432Could anything be in better taste?
23432Could he hear them?"
23432Did n''t it?"
23432Did n''t you say that you had been bothered by something,--something which happened that night we dined together?"
23432Did you really hear nothing?"
23432Did you speak with anyone?"
23432Dissa was littyoshantyhouse-- vay poh look----""Littyoshantyhouse?"
23432Do n''t you recollect your promise to take me with you to see M. Aguado''s Spanish pictures?"
23432Do you believe, then, that this woman was something too awful, too terrible, to be allowed to remain on the earth?
23432Do you never paint now?"
23432Do you read?
23432Do you study?
23432Does the sight of Pan mean that, do you think?
23432Fancy a ghost with a black eye and a handkerchief tied round its waist, or turning summersaults, and saying,''How are you to- morrow?''"
23432For a moment, I thought of magnetism, but who could magnetize that man with those pale, cold, bright eyes?
23432For instance, I dare say that you never heard of the Harlesden case?"
23432Had she a lover or a husband?
23432Have you been doing that?"
23432Have you five pieces of gold for my ransom?"
23432His name is Fuey Fong, and he speaks to me thus:"Missa Gordon, whatta is Chrisinjin Indevil Shoshiety?"
23432Hotelkipper look him, an''say,''Whatta your nem is?''
23432How are you, Salisbury?"
23432How could he have obtained this treasure?
23432How could that be?''
23432How does the little animal--_le renard_--name himself in the Latin?"
23432How goes it all?"
23432How is that difficulty to be surmounted?
23432How to do this, and afterwards escape myself?
23432I cried,"poring over the miniature of some fair lady?
23432I.--Am I destined to accomplish this great task?
23432I.--Will great discoveries result from the use of such a lens?
23432If traces of two persons drinking had been found in the room, the question naturally would have arisen, Who was the second?
23432In a word, what_ did_ that"distressing accident"consist in?
23432Is it that nature, take it altogether, suffers horribly, suffers to a hideous inconceivable extent?
23432Is that all right?"
23432Is that so?"
23432Is_ he_ the individual that met with the"distressing accident?"
23432It goes without saying that it has not my credence.--But why are we here,_ mon ami_?
23432Just repeat it again, will you?
23432Linley?"
23432Look at me, have I not done something to myself to begin with?"
23432Missiolary man was vay sympafy, an''tole him,''Whatta is?''
23432Money?
23432Mortal, wilt thou choose me?"
23432Mr. Davies, you would n''t ruin me?
23432Must I have you carried out into the middle of the street, and fireworks exploded in your ears?
23432My eyesight, for one thing-- and under such conditions why seek further?
23432Nen he begin tek off his mine----''""Took off his mind?"
23432No, what is it that makes puppies play with their own tails, that sends cats on their prowling ecstatic errands at night?"
23432No?
23432Nothing disagreed with you, has it?"
23432Nothing in your line there, I suppose?"
23432Now, were these two deaths the two crimes mentioned in his letter?
23432Or did it consist in the death of that person herself three years ago( albeit it does not appear that she died by accident)?
23432Or did the"distressing accident"consist in the destruction of Schuyler''s mother- in- law''s property in early times?
23432Said,''When you shee my husban''come home?''
23432Shall I be shown all the suffering?"
23432Shall I be thine, mortal?"
23432Shall I do one now?"
23432She then continued,"Will the spirits communicate with this gentleman?"
23432Shortly he says:"We''?"
23432Tay how----""How did he steal the watch from the American missionary?"
23432The fellow rose to his feet and returned the stare a little curiously, and then began in stereotyped phrase,--"What can I do for you, sir?"
23432The splendid way, or merely the easy?"
23432Then he asked sharply,"Did you meet anyone?
23432Then he says:"Missa Gordon, I tay you how about Gaw convert China clilimal?"
23432This only I know beyond doubt,--that you are of the Past: you belong to memory-- but to the memory of what dead suns?..."
23432Vainly you ask yourself:--"Whose voice?--whose face?"
23432Was ever mist before so deceptive?
23432Was n''t that where I left off?"
23432Was she not ugly?"
23432Was there no member of it spirited enough to make away with his sweetheart, or take some other steps calculated to establish a hereditary spectre?
23432What am I to think?
23432What can be the meaning of this outburst?
23432What cared I if I had waded to the portal of this wonder through another''s blood?
23432What caused this sudden disappearance?
23432What could it have been in the face of the old folk- lorist that made me think of this man?
23432What crime was to be done, then, and who was to do it?
23432What did that driveling ass of a Schuyler stand_ in the wake_ of a runaway horse for, with his shouting and gesticulating, if he wanted to stop him?
23432What do you mean?"
23432What do you think of it?"
23432What if this spiritualism should be really a great fact?
23432What is your opinion of the matter?''
23432What say you?"
23432What shall I do?
23432What was it that afflicted the sylph?
23432What was it then?''
23432Whatta tem it is?''
23432Whatta you say-- hurt de pipe?"
23432When will you give me the sequel?"
23432Where did you learn hypnotism?"
23432Where he is dissa morning?
23432Where were the vermeil blooms, the liquid expressive eyes, the harmonious limbs of Animula?
23432Who eata subbah wif you sucha- sucha night?''
23432Who talks of trespass?
23432Why not?
23432Why, what is the commonest crime one sees?
23432Will you have anything more?
23432Will you not take me?"
23432You have compaly?"
23432You heard about dissa case?
23432You lika hea''?''
23432You never heard of anybody who was burned having a ghost, did you?"
23432You remember I was getting rather hard up when you came to my place at Charlotte Street?"
23432You roll in it, I suppose, and, O Darcy, how much happiness have you had all these years?
23432You were with me, do you remember?
23432You will remember that the doctor said it was the brain of a devil?"
23432and what was this open window with a rope running out of it?
23432was this the great enchantress that had drawn monarchs at her chariot- wheels?
23432what occurs?
11043A lady?
11043A regular devil with''em, eh, Barker?
11043About arresting Barker?
11043About him sendin''word he was out when we know he ai n''t?
11043About how far away?
11043About the tickets-- what did he buy?
11043Alibi, eh?
11043Allow you? 11043 Alone?
11043An''what if I am? 11043 And I can come to you any time to talk things over?"
11043And as you are, I''m making so bold as to ask what you''re going to do next?
11043And besides, what does_ she_ know about killing some one? 11043 And he does n''t think so now?"
11043And if he did n''t do it?
11043And now: is it not a fact that you despised Warren even though you pretended to be his friend?
11043And that is?
11043And that is?
11043And that you shot Roland Warren?
11043And the first time you knew of Warren''s death?
11043And yet he only remained four minutes?
11043And yet you continued to stand there?
11043And you are sure she was there all night?
11043And you are sure that his story is true?
11043And you believe that the alibi Miss Rogers established for Hazel Gresham is good?
11043And you think he ca n''t do that?
11043And you were shooting pool there?
11043And your idea of the murderer, after what you''ve heard?
11043Another young lady?
11043Any idea where she was going?
11043Anyway,said he,"that did n''t make me sore at him, because he give me a month''s pay; and that''s just as good as a notice, ai n''t it?"
11043Anyway?
11043Are n''t you the observant young woman, though? 11043 Are you sure?"
11043As what, for instance?
11043At what hotel?
11043Barker? 11043 Believe it?
11043Business?
11043But perhaps it never left the house?
11043But she has no suspicion of any certain person?
11043But when you got into the taxicab-- isn''t it a fact that he was already there?
11043But where does it get us?
11043But you did stand still for a few seconds?
11043But you do know that this woman-- whoever she was-- passed through the waiting room with the passengers who came on that train, do n''t you?
11043Cab, miss?
11043Carroll?
11043Certainly, and--"Where?
11043Certainly--She raised her head pleadingly:"You_ do_ believe me, do n''t you?"
11043Cold?
11043Detecting?
11043Detective work must be a terrible bore-- mustn''t it?
11043Did he pay you in cash?
11043Did n''t it strike you as peculiar-- knowing that she''d be in the house alone all that night?
11043Did you see that man, Miss Rogers?
11043Do n''t you know?
11043Do n''t you think so, Leverage?
11043Do n''t you understand? 11043 Do you admit that you killed Roland Warren?"
11043Do you believe she killed him?
11043Do you know him?
11043Do you mean that-- or is it bait to make me talk?
11043Does Cartwright know who was at home at that time?
11043Does she-- discuss the affair much?
11043Eh? 11043 Eh?"
11043Either of you chaps know anything of Warren''s personal history?
11043Elope with Miss Gresham?
11043Engaged?
11043Ever been mixed up in a scandal?
11043Everything?
11043For what?
11043From where?
11043Garry Gresham?
11043Good scout, are n''t you, Sis? 11043 Got what?"
11043Happy? 11043 Have you ever tasted a chocolate fudge- sundae?"
11043Have you talked to this fellow?
11043Hazel? 11043 He called here?"
11043He got along pretty well with them?
11043He is engaged?
11043He is, eh? 11043 He knew a good many women?"
11043He was away that night: all night?
11043He''s in his room, ai n''t he?
11043Her? 11043 Him?
11043How about Miss Gresham''s brother?
11043How about his relations with women?
11043How about it, Leverage?
11043How about it?
11043How about the man who drove up with the kid sister?
11043How about this case, chief?
11043How about trotting out there with me, David?
11043How could she have killed him? 11043 How did she act?"
11043How did you guess that?
11043How did you know that I had killed him, Sis?
11043How did you know-- it was Garry-- who did the shooting?
11043How do you know that?
11043How does he take it?
11043How long ago?
11043How old?
11043How so?
11043How so?
11043How so?
11043How was she dressed?
11043How will you work that, David?
11043How''d you know that?
11043How?
11043How?
11043How?
11043I ai n''t said I ai n''t, have I?
11043I ca n''t prove it-- a man ca n''t prove that he came on a certain train--"Was there nobody on board who knew you?
11043I did n''t say she did, did I?
11043I fancy it did--Carroll summoned a waiter--"A little baked Alaska for dessert?"
11043I may question you?
11043I reckon you''re wonderin'', Carroll, about what I said back yonder in the car?
11043I say--he started,"what does this mean?"
11043I suppose we have--"Well?
11043I wish the belt would slip at the power house, do n''t you?
11043I wonder if you understand women, Mr. Carroll? 11043 I wonder if you would?
11043I wonder whether Barker told the truth when he said he had been calling on Mrs. Lawrence to apply for a job?
11043I wonder, Miss Rogers, whether you''d allow me to call on you some evening?
11043I''d be delighted to ride you to Miss Gresham''s in my car--"Would you? 11043 I''ll be honest, Carroll-- I took several drinks--""Alone?"
11043I''ll bite,he answered with assumed jocularity--"what was she doing?"
11043I''m free?
11043If any one had got into or out of the cab right there, would you have heard them?
11043In all that time did you hear anything-- anything at all?
11043In the taxi, eh?
11043Indeed?
11043Indeed?
11043Is n''t it true, Mrs. Lawrence, that_ you_ were the woman in the taxi- cab the night Mr. Warren was killed?
11043Is n''t there anything we can do, Eric-- before we start something that no human power can stop? 11043 Jealous?
11043Know him? 11043 Married ones?"
11043Me? 11043 Mr. Carroll-- why do n''t you abandon this horrible investigation?
11043Mr. Warren''s murderer is still at large-- and as a matter of duty--"Duty to whom? 11043 Murder?"
11043Naomi? 11043 Newark, New Jersey?"
11043No theories as to the identity of this woman, have you?
11043No? 11043 No?"
11043No?
11043No?
11043No?
11043No?
11043Not even vanishing suit- cases, eh?
11043Nothing else about him you think might prove interesting?
11043Now you--Carroll''s tone was gentle, almost hypnotic--"of course you know who the woman is that Mr. Warren was planning to elope with?"
11043Of course he was n''t; but you know, of course? 11043 Oh, what''ll the girls say when I tell''em?"
11043Oh,_ her_? 11043 Police?"
11043Pretty cold, ai n''t it?
11043Pretty positive, eh?
11043Rather hard to believe, is n''t it?
11043Really?
11043Really?
11043Reckon she might have been jealous of him?
11043Regarding Barker?
11043Rich, is n''t he?
11043She wants to see me?
11043Shooting pool?
11043So now,questioned Leverage--"what are you going to do: deny it?"
11043Something definite, eh?
11043Suppose she_ was_ the woman in the taxicab--?
11043Suppose they did-- what difference does that make? 11043 Suppose we eat together?"
11043Sure, it''s possible, and--"But, chief,interrupted the reporter who had done most of the talking,"why should Miss Gresham kill Warren?"
11043Sure?
11043Surely?
11043Suspicions of what?
11043That Miss Gresham was not with Mr. Warren at midnight last night?
11043That does seem old to you, does n''t it?
11043That so?
11043That''s not unnatural, is it?
11043That''s pretty close to the Union Station, is n''t it?
11043The day before Mr. Warren died,he said mildly--"are you sure that your sister made the suggestion that you spend the night with Miss Gresham?"
11043The woman in the taxicab-- do you think she killed him?
11043Then Garry will be freed?
11043Then most of this gossip we''ve been hearing has a basis of fact?
11043Then what_ was_ he doing at the house?
11043Then why did you beat it so quick?
11043Then why,barked the detective,"did you make the blunt statement that Mrs. Lawrence killed Warren?"
11043Then you are quite convinced, Leverage, that Walters did_ not_ know anything about it?
11043Then you think she met him by arrangement, chief?
11043Then you_ have_?
11043Then,exclaimed Leverage with a slight touch of exasperation in his manner--"who in thunder could have killed Warren if she did n''t?
11043Think what?
11043Though darned if I know how you do it?
11043Treated you well?
11043Understand what we''ve just discovered, son?
11043Want it up here?
11043Want the coroner?
11043Was your husband at home on either occasion?
11043We always did know more about each other than we were told, did n''t we, Little Sis? 11043 We''ll suppose Lawrence was home on the occasion of Barker''s first visit-- do you know whether he was?"
11043We- e- ll, David-- suppose you tell me what_ you_ think we should do?
11043Well, I wonder-- you know I''m just_ fiendishly_ anxious to be helpful in the world-- I wonder if you''d let me help you some more?
11043Well?
11043Well?
11043What I do n''t understand is this-- when Mr. Warren was publicly engaged to Miss Gresham, why did he try to elope with her?
11043What cities around there?
11043What did Gerald say?
11043What did she give herself up for, Carroll?
11043What did they say when you told them I was coming?
11043What did you ask her?
11043What did you do then?
11043What did you think when you saw Mrs. Lawrence come out of the station alone carrying Mr. Warren''s suit- case? 11043 What do you make of it, Carroll?"
11043What do you think about it?
11043What do you think of it?
11043What do you want here, Carroll?
11043What do you want me to tell you?
11043What do_ you_ think?
11043What does she think about the woman in the taxicab?
11043What if he is? 11043 What if that is my name?"
11043What in the world do you want with him?
11043What is it?
11043What is it?
11043What is thare about it that you like?
11043What is there to do for me? 11043 What is this-- a game?
11043What kind of a man was he-- personally?
11043What made you think that?
11043What nail?
11043What poor boy?
11043What suit- case? 11043 What woman?"
11043What''s he been doin''?
11043What''s he been up to before this?
11043What''s he been up to now?
11043What''s the idea?
11043What''s the use, Mr. Carroll? 11043 What''s your idea, Eric?"
11043What?
11043What?
11043What?
11043Whatcha mean, what do I think about it?
11043When did he die? 11043 When did he get in?"
11043When?
11043Where are the rest of her letters?
11043Where did you go? 11043 Where do you usually go with young gentlemen who meet you down- town in the afternoons?"
11043Where had she been during the evening-- after dark of the night of the-- killing?
11043Where is he?
11043Where is that?
11043Where is your home? 11043 Where was the taxicab standing?"
11043Where was your sister at midnight last night?
11043Where were they?
11043Where?
11043Where?
11043Where?
11043Where?
11043Who is he?
11043Who killed Warren?
11043Who really did kill him?
11043Who took it?
11043Who was it?
11043Who was she?
11043Who was she?
11043Who''s that?
11043Who?
11043Whose suit- case?
11043Why did he come here?
11043Why did he think it was unimportant?
11043Why do n''t it?
11043Why do we know that?
11043Why not? 11043 Why not?"
11043Why not?
11043Why not?
11043Why not?
11043Why not?
11043Why was n''t this told me last night?
11043Why, I--"Ai n''t he? 11043 Why?"
11043Why?
11043Why?
11043Why?
11043Why?
11043Why?
11043Why?
11043Why?
11043Will you do me a_ great_ favor-- an_ enormous_ favor?
11043Will you tell me something?
11043William Barker?
11043William Barker?
11043Would n''t you just_ adore_ to see that picture at the Trianon to- day? 11043 Would you_ really_?"
11043Yes, but--"When did you check out?
11043Yes, sir?
11043Yes-- and fourth?
11043Yes-- suppose she was: it does n''t prove that she killed Warren?
11043Yes--?
11043Yes? 11043 Yes?"
11043Yes?
11043Yes?
11043Yes?
11043Yet you''re disappointed in me?
11043You admit that you were the woman in the taxicab?
11043You agree that we have enough against William Barker to arrest him?
11043You ai n''t got no suspicions yourself, have you?
11043You also agree that he knows whatever connection the Lawrences have with the Warren murder?
11043You are going to arrest Lawrence?
11043You are going to arrest me?
11043You are sure the suit- case is still in front?
11043You are sure?
11043You believe Mrs. Lawrence was the woman in the taxicab?
11043You believe?
11043You came to see me?
11043You can give me your word of honor, Carroll, that you are convinced that my sister is not connected in any way with the crime?
11043You could see the veil from across the street at midnight?
11043You delivered both tickets to him personally?
11043You did n''t stop anywhere?
11043You did n''t swallow that bird''s yarn, did you?
11043You did not kill him?
11043You did recognize me, did n''t you? 11043 You did_ what?
11043You do believe that part of the story, then: that she was going to elope with Warren?
11043You do n''t think she was?
11043You do n''t?
11043You do?
11043You give me your word of honor, Mr. Carroll, I ai n''t goin''to be pinched for blackmail?
11043You had no particular reason for coming here?
11043You had registered at the Hermitage, had n''t you?
11043You have already learned that?
11043You have made no new discoveries at all?
11043You have some of those notes?
11043You have thought of it-- of her-- a good deal?
11043You knew he was planning to elope, though?
11043You know a thing or two yourself, Barker?
11043You know as well as me who she was?
11043You know him?
11043You know something about it?
11043You know something about this chap?
11043You know who killed Roland Warren?
11043You love your husband?
11043You mean that Mrs. Lawrence was the woman in the taxicab?
11043You mean that if I can prove the truth of my story, nothing will be made public about my-- the affair-- in Nashville?
11043You mean the woman who killed him?
11043You mean you believe the woman in the taxi had nothing to do with it?
11043You mean you want to come and call on_ me_? 11043 You met Mr. Warren where?"
11043You really want to believe that story, do n''t you, David?
11043You say Mr. Warren gave it to her?
11043You say that suit- case left the house after she packed it?
11043You say this case is mine-- absolutely? 11043 You sold some tickets to Roland Warren?"
11043You think one of them is in on the know?
11043You think you know who killed Warren?
11043You think, then-- that if he did-- he would be acquitted?
11043You thought it was peculiar?
11043You thought of something-- something which made it necessary for you to get to him?
11043You want me to butt in on it?
11043You were fond of him?
11043You were present?
11043You wish to see me?
11043You''re William Barker, are n''t you?
11043You''re arresting_ me_ for Warren''s murder?
11043You''re in charge of the case, are n''t you?
11043You''re right-- How about Barker?
11043You''re sure he bought_ two_ tickets and a drawing- room? 11043 You''re sure the woman got into your cab alone?"
11043You''re sure there was a man mixed up somewhere?
11043You''ve no idea as to the identity of the woman in the taxicab, have you, Gresham?
11043You''ve read the papers-- all about Mr. Warren''s murder, have n''t you?
11043You''ve seen this morning''s papers?
11043You--? 11043 You_ did_ come here to inquire about Warren, did n''t you?"
11043You_ know_?
11043You_ know_?
11043You_ suppose_? 11043 Your sister is so very old?"
11043_ My_ name?
11043_ Want_ you? 11043 _ You_ came to tell_ me_ about it?"
11043Ai n''t I right?"
11043Ai n''t it a fact that she had Mr. Warren''s suit- case?"
11043Ai n''t suspecting her of being the woman in the taxi, are you?"
11043Ai n''t that a fact?"
11043Ai n''t you sure he does?"
11043Alarm the neighborhood, and identify himself with the crime?
11043Alone with Leverage, Carroll clenched his fist--"If that is n''t the most peculiar--""She''s not telling the truth, is she, David?"
11043And I do n''t think it''s wicked to love swearing, do you?
11043And I wonder if you realize what her arrest would mean?"
11043And as for me bein''a woman-- well, you''re sure a woman killed him, ai n''t you?"
11043And by the way: are you in the habit of indulging in these solitary debauches in neighboring cities?"
11043And did I really help you by what I told you the other day?"
11043And now suppose we go back to town?
11043And now that I''ve remembered him again, suppose you tell me what you know about him and the case?"
11043And now"--Carroll rose and reached for the check--"suppose we go?"
11043And now-- I believe you came to tell me something about the Warren case?"
11043And now-- what?"
11043And now--""Back to that awful crime again, are n''t you?
11043And publication of this would hurt him--""Because he cares for you?"
11043And then--""Yes-- and then?"
11043And then--"Leverage leaped forward eagerly:"Yes--??
11043And then--"Leverage leaped forward eagerly:"Yes--??
11043And there''s your dope--""And on the night of the murder?"
11043And these logs give a perfectly respectable light, do n''t they?"
11043And what caused the discovery?"
11043And what do we tell''em?
11043And when?"
11043And would you believe that Sis-- who is scared of her shadow at night-- was the one who suggested that I go spend the night with Hazel?
11043And you saw a good deal of him?"
11043And you say your sister-- Mrs. Lawrence-- is nervous at night?"
11043Answer me this, David: if you had to point out one person right now as the guilty one-- which''d you choose?"
11043Any objections to discussing them?"
11043Any time you run across anything more that you think might prove of interest, look me up, will you?"
11043Anyway-- I went in her room that morning to ask something about what I should take to Hazel''s-- and what do you think she was doing?"
11043Ask me somethin''easy, will you?
11043Barker fidgeted nervously, and finally, when the strain became too great, burst out with:"Who are you fellers?
11043But Leverage could not tear himself away from the sheer humor of the situation:"What the devil you and her going to talk about?
11043But about the Warren case?"
11043But are you sure she packed it?"
11043But her kid sister will suffer too--""You do n''t think, Carroll-- that she looked like that kind?"
11043But how?
11043But meanwhile--""Surely, Mr. Carroll-- you do n''t intend publishing what he has told you-- about his drinking-- alone-- in Nashville?"
11043But she got sore at me when I asked her--""Who?"
11043But tell me,"his tone was conversational,"how did you know that I shot Roland Warren?"
11043But that sort of a man-- you''d hardly think he''d be the victim of-- hello, what''s this?"
11043But you believe he can-- and will-- do it, do n''t you?"
11043But_ you_ do n''t think I am, do you?"
11043By they way, did n''t they think it was-- er-- strange: my coming to see you tonight?"
11043Ca n''t you hear''em-- babbling about it being in the blood?"
11043Carroll again spoke to Barker-- manner almost apathetic--"You know a good deal more about this thing than you''ve told us, do n''t you Barker?"
11043Carroll spoke:"Have you seen your friend, Miss Gresham, lately?"
11043Carroll spoke:"Miss Gresham, you mean?"
11043Carroll swung on her, biting off his words shortly:"Do you_ know_ that he did n''t?"
11043Carroll was grinning as he turned back to his friend--"Guess what that young thing said when I told her I had solved the Warren case?"
11043Carroll''s eyes narrowed speculatively,"are you_ sure_ he was in Nashville all that time?"
11043Carroll?"
11043Carroll?"
11043Carroll?"
11043Carroll?"
11043Carroll?"
11043Did you ever stop to realize, Eric, that when a crime is committed the advantage lies entirely with the detective?
11043Do me that favor, wo n''t you?
11043Do n''t ask me how or why?
11043Do n''t you suppose I noticed that the clothes she was packing in that suit- case were_ hers_?"
11043Do n''t you suppose that I know whether I killed him?
11043Do n''t you think I''m right?"
11043Do n''t you think I''m sensible?"
11043Do n''t you think it''s a lot of trouble sometimes-- thinking of just the right word in the right place?"
11043Do n''t you?"
11043Do n''t you_ know_?"
11043Do you mean to tell me that_ you_ were the woman in the taxicab?"
11043Do you think I''m going to feed pap to you?"
11043For instance-- you knew Roland Warren pretty well, did n''t you?"
11043Foxtrot steps?
11043Frat dance?
11043Get that?"
11043Go into a house near by, wake the residents, telephone headquarters that a murder had been done?
11043Have you seen Barker since the night Mr. Warren was killed?"
11043Have you?"
11043Have you?"
11043Hazel has been acting so_ peculiarly_ lately--""That''s natural, is n''t it, Miss Rogers?
11043He asked only one question:"What flavor?"
11043He bent his head hopefully--"Were you planning to eat lunch downtown?"
11043He may not have done it--""Well,"sizzled the chief of police,"if he did n''t and Barker didn''t-- who the devil did?"
11043He must do something-- something, but what?
11043He paused a moment and then Carroll prodded him on--"Well-- what_ did_ happen?"
11043He paused, and then:"Where were you about midnight last night?"
11043He simulated innocence:"I?
11043He switched his line of attack suddenly:"What made you think I was coming here to discuss Roland Warren''s death?"
11043He watched her closely--"Have you the slightest idea-- the vaguest suspicion-- of that woman''s identity?"
11043He wouldn''t--""Why not?"
11043Her tongue became reluctantly still although she did break in once with a triumphant--"Ain''t he like I told you he was?"
11043His big voice boomed into the conversation:"Carroll?"
11043His plays would have been utterly_ marvelous_, would n''t they?"
11043His voice cracked out accusingly:"Do n''t you_ know_ that that is incorrect?"
11043His voice cracked out:"What''s your name?"
11043Honest?"
11043How about it?"
11043How about the suit- case you said this woman had?"
11043How about the woman?"
11043How could she be?
11043How could she have?
11043How do we know, though, but what they were sore as a pup over it, and just kept their traps closed because they did n''t want any gossip?
11043How had she managed to leave the taxicab?
11043How long has this engagement been known?"
11043How''d you ever get wise to the thing, anyway?"
11043How?"
11043I believe we eat too much anyway, do n''t you, Mr. Carroll?
11043I guess you''re figuring what I''d arrest him for, eh?"
11043I have n''t got a bit excited over it, have I?"
11043I mean was any one besides your family there?"
11043I mean-- am I not?
11043I think that Chief Leverage does, too-- how about it, chief?"
11043I told Sis I wanted one like it, but--""And then you went to bed?"
11043I told her she was crazy-- because I really do n''t think there''s anything so very terrible about you-- do you?"
11043I wonder if it is possible for you to comprehend their psychological reactions?
11043I wonder just what he meant?"
11043I wonder, Miss Gresham,"and Carroll''s voice was very, very gentle,"if you would wait in that room yonder for a few minutes?"
11043I''m always getting off my subject, ai n''t I?
11043I''m getting horribly domestic since Hazel became engaged, because she is learning--""And after you made the waffles?"
11043If he was n''t going to marry her, what did he ever get engaged to her for?"
11043Information for you?
11043Is it not a fact that you were in this city at the hour Roland Warren is supposed to have been killed?"
11043Is n''t that reasonable?"
11043Is n''t that so, Gresham?"
11043Is that it, sir?"
11043Is that so strange?"
11043Is the camel walk vulgar?
11043Is_ this_ Mr. Carroll-- the famous detective?"
11043It just occurred to me to ask him is he_ sure_?"
11043It was Carroll who broke the stillness:"Do you know William Barker?"
11043It was Lawrence who broke the silence--"Is-- this-- what you-- detectives-- call the third degree?"
11043It''s a terrible bore, do n''t you think?"
11043It''s asking too much--""Then what_ do_ you think happened?"
11043It''s funny, is n''t it, how old folks will get those queer ideas?"
11043It''s the woman''s suit- case, and if we ca n''t find out who she is from that, we''re pretty bum, eh?"
11043Lawrence?"
11043Lawrence?"
11043Lawrence?"
11043Leverage held Carroll with his eyes:"Do you believe Barker''s story, David?"
11043Leverage looked up with pleasure at the sound of relief in his friend''s voice--"Leverage?"
11043Leverage spoke again softly--"Have n''t we?"
11043Naomi broke in, her voice choked with hysteria--"What are you leading to, Mr. Carroll?
11043Next week''s basketball game?
11043Not a single thing escapes your eagle eye, does it?"
11043Not in real life?"
11043Not the clubman?"
11043Now all her plans have gone smash, and she really was_ terribly_ fond--""You say you spent the night with Miss Gresham?"
11043Now, Carroll-- are you ready with your little catechism?"
11043Of course, I''m not twenty yet, but a girl can be under twenty and yet be a woman, ca n''t she?"
11043Of course, he pretended that he came around because he liked Sis and Gerald--""Gerald?"
11043Only thing is, where did he get in?"
11043Or was it one ticket?"
11043Reporters?"
11043S''pose that, eh?"
11043S''posin''they were trying to break things off, an''makin''it pretty uncomfortable for the girl?
11043Say, what are you tryin''to do-- trip me up or somethin''?"
11043Say--"she looked up eagerly--"ain''t he the darndest old crab you ever saw in your life?"
11043She came through the waiting- room alone, carrying that very same suit- case--""You''re positive it was_ that_ suit- case?"
11043She got there about ten or fifteen minutes later--""How did she come?"
11043She walked straight out of the door and toward the curb, and--""Did she appear to be expecting some one?"
11043She_ is_ ancient, is n''t she?"
11043So even if she could have killed him, she would n''t, would she?"
11043So_ that_ explains his visits, and his plentiful supply of money?"
11043So_ you''re_ David Carroll?"
11043Some_ evening_?"
11043Something to make us sure-- to give us a clincher?
11043Sounds all right so far?"
11043Suppose you start at the beginning-- and tell me what there is to tell?"
11043Taking a vacation from your work on the Warren murder case, I presume?"
11043That''s how I learned so much about detectiving-- or is n''t that what you call it?"
11043That''s what you think, eh?"
11043The city is discussing it pretty freely?"
11043The young man turned back to the detectives--"And what now?"
11043Then a puzzled frown creased his forehead--"The man who did the actual shooting,"he said quietly--"have you the slightest idea as to his identity?"
11043Then suddenly his voice crackled across the room--"You know, of course, that you are suspected of Warren''s murder?"
11043There again the trail of the dead man and the vanished woman crossed; else why was she carrying his suit- case?
11043There''s no necessity to ruin her life, is there?"
11043To handle as I see fit?"
11043To- morrow night?"
11043Trying to trap me-- are you?
11043Understand?"
11043Understand?"
11043Warren--?"
11043Warren?"
11043Warren?"
11043Warren?"
11043Warren?"
11043Was that chicken I seen you with downtown, Lawrence''s sister- in- law?"
11043We slept in the same bed-- and that''s certainly proof enough, is n''t it?"
11043Well, it is n''t likely she was sending that to Gerald, is it?"
11043What about him?"
11043What about him?"
11043What can I do for you?"
11043What city have you lived in mostly?"
11043What did you mean by that?"
11043What did you mean by that?"
11043What do I care about candy?
11043What do you think?"
11043What do you want?"
11043What else about it was peculiar?"
11043What interests me is this-- was he planning to leave with some woman?"
11043What is it?"
11043What made you think I had?"
11043What makes you think that?"
11043What was there to do?
11043What you got to do with that?"
11043What''s he doin''here?"
11043Whatcha want?"
11043When and how?"
11043When did Mr. Lawrence get back from Nashville?"
11043When had the man, who now lay sprawled in the cab, entered it?
11043When she did that and called a taxicab and went off in it alone?"
11043When was his last out- of- town trip?"
11043When was it?"
11043When will you come?"
11043Where did you spend the night?"
11043Where does it get you?"
11043Where was she?
11043Where''s his room?"
11043Who could have been there with her?"
11043Who did?"
11043Who was she?"
11043Who''s going to hurt you?
11043Why are n''t you content to let matters rest where they are?"
11043Why do you doubt me?
11043Why in the world should Hazel kill the man she was engaged to?"
11043Why in the world should she be prejudiced against the man who is trying to locate the slayer of her fiancé?"
11043Why should I be interested in tripping you up?"
11043Why should he kill Mr. Warren?
11043Why, should I wrack myself with the story when you do not even believe the reason upon which it is based?
11043Why?"
11043Would n''t she?"
11043You can play, ca n''t you?"
11043You drove straight out here, Walters?"
11043You guessed?"
11043You knew more about the dead man than any one else; but I could n''t think you had anything to do with it, could I?
11043You think this dame was a society sort?"
11043You thought she was going out that night?"
11043You understand where I mean?
11043You would n''t expect a nice chap like Roland to be eloping with a_ married_ woman, would you?
11043You''re dead sure about that ticket dope, ai n''t you?
11043You''re satisfied"--this to Walters--"that that is her suit- case?"
11043You''re sure your sister was alone in the house that night?"
11043You''re thinking maybe it was a man in woman''s clothes?
11043You''ve heard of Garry Gresham?
11043You_ are_ William Barker?"
11043Your name is William Barker?"
11043and then?"
11043cried the girl hopefully:"His plea of self- defense will acquit him?"
11043do_ you_ play:_ really_?"
11043man-- what are we going to do now?"
2019''That''s all, is it?
2019A cook-- and a housemaid? 2019 A detective?"
2019A detective?
2019A flirtatious ghost?
2019A-- man''s face?
2019Am I?
2019And Billy-- where are the keys?
2019And if we are united against you, why should I have sent for you? 2019 And that he took the Union Bank money out of the safe, I suppose?"
2019And the Bat ye were talking of just then-- he''s harmless too, I suppose?
2019And then?
2019And this is the first time you have been disturbed?
2019And what of the letter ye had when ye first moved in here? 2019 And when is the Universe''s Finest Newspaper going to burst forth with''Bat Captured by BLADE Reporter?''"
2019And why did the lights go out-- tell me that, Miss Neily? 2019 And yet there''s one man-- I do n''t know him myself but from what I''ve heard of him, he might be able-- but what''s the use of speculating?"
2019And you came here to telephone about your car?
2019And you knew the money was in the room?
2019And you were outside the door?
2019And you?
2019And-- alopecia?
2019And-- nothing?
2019And-- you''re sure you do n''t walk in your sleep?
2019Anderson? 2019 Any liquor stored here?"
2019Anything else and I''ll-- but what''s the use? 2019 Are all these questions necessary?"
2019Are n''t you back early, Dale?
2019Are n''t you going to give it to me?
2019Are n''t you?
2019Are they nice spoons?
2019Are you a professional gardener?
2019Are you better now?
2019Are you quite sure of that?
2019Because of that letter? 2019 Because you happened to be in the room when a crime was committed?"
2019Before Courtleigh Fleming died-- did he tell you anything about a Hidden Room in this house?
2019Behind a fireplace, eh?
2019Beresford, did Fleming tell you why he came here tonight?
2019Beresford, will you go with this Jap to the kitchen?
2019Billy''s the Jap?
2019Billy, what''s all this about the cook''s sister not having twins?
2019Billy,she queried,"what did you see when you came running down the stairs before we were locked in, down below?"
2019Billy-- what is it?
2019Blue- prints?
2019Books?
2019But good heav-- Lizzie, why on earth did n''t you tell me before?
2019But how can it be? 2019 But just what does it prove?"
2019But look here, Bill, you do n''t mean to tell me he''ll keep on getting away with it indefinitely?
2019But look here,he went on, moving closer to Dale,"you did n''t send for me to discuss this hypothetical poor depositor, did you?
2019But what then?
2019But who in God''s name killed him?
2019But who is he?
2019But who is it?
2019But who killed him? 2019 But, good heavens, Billy-- shooting what?"
2019But, you know the piece of blue- print you found in his hand?
2019But-- did she say when she would be back?
2019But-- tell me, Lizzie, did Miss Dale seem-- well-- this morning?
2019By the way, has Miss Van Gorder a revolver?
2019By whom?
2019Call you a spirited old lady, do they? 2019 Can I-- can I sit in here with you, Miss Neily, just a minute?"
2019Could a man have done that with one hand?
2019Could anyone have overheard?
2019Could n''t she?
2019Could n''t somebody else have done it?
2019Could such a sum as was looted from the Union Bank be carried away in a man''s pocket?
2019Courtleigh Fleming''s butler, eh?
2019Dale, dear, did you know this young Bailey?
2019Dale, you said you saw a white light shining down from above?
2019Damn you-- what do you mean by this?
2019Did I frighten you?
2019Did I understand you to say that you were not acquainted with the cashier of the Union Bank?
2019Did he?
2019Did it require a flashlight to find the house?
2019Did n''t Billy tell you what I was doing? 2019 Did n''t have time to say anything?"
2019Did n''t write it yourself, did you?
2019Did you ever hear of the man who took a clock apart-- and when he put it together again, he had enough left over to make another clock?
2019Did you ever see me before?
2019Did you ever try a good cigar when you wanted to think?
2019Did you ever try knitting when you wanted to think?
2019Did you give it to Bailey?
2019Did you go out after it?
2019Did you happen to know that this interesting event was anticipated?
2019Did you know that room was there?
2019Did you locate that room?
2019Did you ring the house phone?
2019Did you see anybody?
2019Did you shut that mantel?
2019Did you, dear? 2019 Did you?"
2019Did you?
2019Died instantly, I suppose?
2019Dizzy a bit, are n''t you?
2019Do n''t care for the country, I suppose?
2019Do n''t you even know your name?
2019Do n''t you think I''d better stay here?
2019Do n''t you think you have done enough?
2019Do n''t you understand? 2019 Do n''t you?"
2019Do the servants know who I am?
2019Do you believe in circumstantial evidence?
2019Do you believe that money is irrevocably gone?
2019Do you consider that significant?
2019Do you know anything about a Hidden Room in this house?
2019Do you know where Bailey is now?
2019Do you know where there are any blue- prints of the house?
2019Do you know who was in that room?
2019Do you mean he wore a mask?
2019Do you mind covering that body first?
2019Do you mind letting me see that flashlight?
2019Do you realize the significance of this paper?
2019Do you really believe the housemaid had appendicitis? 2019 Do you remember how you got in this house?"
2019Do you suppose if I knew where it is, I''d be here? 2019 Do you suppose, if that money is actually here, that I can simply turn this over to you and let you give it to Bailey?"
2019Do you think I want to wake up in the morning with my throat cut?
2019Do you think all this-- pure imagination?
2019Do you think there was any other reason for her leaving?
2019Doctor, have you a revolver?
2019Doctor,he said,"did you ever hear Courtleigh Fleming mention a Hidden Room in this house?"
2019Doctor-- did you get it?
2019Does anyone recognize him?
2019Does anyone recognize him?
2019Does he belong to your aunt?
2019Does n''t remember anything, eh?
2019Does this belong to you?
2019Done with her?
2019Down there, where the Bat is?
2019Ever see this before?
2019For the love of heaven, what''s wrong?
2019Front door key, please?
2019Get him? 2019 Go out in that kitchen alone?"
2019Gone into the city?
2019Got it?
2019Has the new gardener come yet?
2019Have I got to answer that?
2019Have you a pocket- flash, Doctor?
2019Have you any matches?
2019Have you any theory about this occurrence to- night?
2019Have you been robbed?
2019Have you got a gun on you?
2019Have you had any experience with rubeola?
2019Have you had anything to eat lately?
2019He does, eh?
2019Hello-- is that Mr. Johnson''s residence? 2019 Hello-- is this Mr. Fleming?
2019Hello-- what''s this?
2019His name? 2019 How about you, Beresford?"
2019How about you, Bill-- are you the Bat?
2019How are your nerves?
2019How can the police be so stupid as to accuse Jack Bailey, a young man and about to be married? 2019 How can you say such a thing?"
2019How did he get into the house?
2019How did he get into the house?
2019How did you get the dope on this case? 2019 How did you get there?"
2019How did you happen to come to this house?
2019How do I know you wo n''t steal the spoons?
2019How do we know this fellow right here is n''t the Bat?
2019How do you know the cashier did it?
2019How do you know you had papers?
2019How in the name of God do you expect me to do anything with the entire household united against me? 2019 How long has this man been in your employ?"
2019How long have you lived in this house, Billy?
2019How many people in this house, Miss Van Gorder?
2019How old are you?
2019How''s this?
2019I come in, please?
2019I suppose you have a theory of your own about these intrusions you''ve been having here? 2019 I was right about the Doctor, was n''t I?"
2019In this house?
2019Including your watch?
2019Is he badly hurt?
2019Is n''t it likely that the Doctor did it? 2019 Is n''t it possible that there is a connection between the colossal theft at the Union Bank and these disturbances?"
2019Is n''t that true?
2019Is n''t that your satchel, Lizzie?
2019Is that true, Dale?
2019Is that true?
2019Is this all right?
2019It''s rather reasonable to suppose that I might want to return the funds to the Union Bank, is n''t it?
2019Just how did it happen?
2019Just what did you hear?
2019Just what did you tell him?
2019Key to what door?
2019Key?
2019Know anything about hardy perennials?
2019Know the Flemings?
2019Know the cashier of the Union Bank?
2019Lizzie, did you ever take that key?
2019Lizzie-- what are you looking at?
2019Look here,the young man blustered,"why are you asking me all these questions?"
2019MISS DALE, FOR THE DEAR LOVE O''GOD WILL YOU MAKE HER PUT IT AWAY?
2019May I ask you to look at this?
2019May I borrow your flashlight, Doctor? 2019 Mercy sakes, who wants to know?"
2019Miss Van Gorder, may I speak frankly?
2019Miss Van Gorder,he said, all the flippancy gone from his voice,"may I ask you to make an excuse and call your gardener here?"
2019Most men-- carry papers-- don''t they?
2019My God, we''re not going to bed, are we?
2019My dear child,he said softly,"are you sure that you put it there?"
2019Nice fellow?
2019No connection with the outside, eh?
2019No-- how do you earn your living?
2019Nobody went through the skylight?
2019Not feeling sick, are you?
2019Not in the portrait gallery at headquarters, are you?
2019Not worried about anything?
2019Now wait a minute, keep your shirt on, you''re not going out bat hunting this minute, you know--"Sir? 2019 Now what about this blue- print?"
2019Now what do you mean-- if that were all of it, Lizzie?
2019Now you say you do n''t think anybody has got upstairs yet?
2019Now, Lizzie, how many times have I told you that you must conquer your prejudices? 2019 Now, Lizzie,"he said sternly,"do you ever walk in your sleep?"
2019Now, Lizzie,he said, forcing himself to urbanity,"what did you really see?"
2019Now, Ouija,said Miss Cornelia defiantly,"is Lizzie Allen right about this house or is it all stuff and nonsense?"
2019Now, what about the butler?
2019Now, what was Fleming doing here?
2019Now-- shall I telephone for the coroner?
2019Now-- what''s your name?
2019Now?
2019Of course I do n''t mind but-- won''t you even have your lemonade?
2019Of the man Lizzie saw going up the stairs, of the attempt to break into this house-- of the ringing of that telephone bell?
2019Oh, are n''t there any? 2019 Oh, for-- lay off it, will you?"
2019Oh, things have gone awfully wrong, have n''t they?
2019Oh,she went on,"by the way-- have the afternoon papers come yet?
2019Oh-- what are you going to do?
2019Or detectives?
2019Or where you came from?
2019Promotion? 2019 Richard Fleming?"
2019See that Sunday story we had on the Bat?
2019Shooting, Billy?
2019So the missing cashier is in this house posing as a gardener?
2019Spooky sort of place in the dark, is n''t it?
2019Suppose I could find that piece of blue- print for you?
2019Suppose I tell you that there are certain facts that you have overlooked?
2019Suppose it''s true-- where do I come in?
2019Suppose,said Miss Cornelia slowly,"that Courtleigh Fleming took that money from his own bank and concealed it in this house?"
2019That Courtleigh Fleming took the money and that it is still here?
2019That is not the main staircase?
2019That''s not-- Dick Fleming-- is it?
2019That''s the theory you gave headquarters, is n''t it?
2019That''s the truth, is it?
2019That''s true, is it?
2019The Bat, eh?
2019The Doctor?
2019The Union Bank?
2019The butler has the paper now?
2019The gardener? 2019 The gardener?
2019The man who fell into the room downstairs?
2019The outside?
2019The rest of it?
2019The tray is in the dining- room?
2019Then what is the significance of the anonymous letters?
2019Then why did you burn the blue- prints?
2019Then why the fireplace?
2019Then you did n''t locate this Hidden Room?
2019Then you did n''t lock that door?
2019Then you do n''t think he''s just an ordinary crook with a lot of luck?
2019Then you do n''t think there''s a chance that the money from the Union Bank is in this house?
2019Then you know why I''m here?
2019Then you think the money is in this hidden room?
2019Then you think there is really danger?
2019Then-- you knew?
2019There was nothing about the figure that you recognized?
2019They-- they''re the ones that keep their leaves during the winter, are n''t they?
2019This is all you found?
2019This is the maid you referred to?
2019To let you get away?
2019Tonight, darling?
2019Two?
2019Was it a bad dream I saw on the stairs last night when the lights went out and I was looking for the candles?
2019Was it a bad dream that ran away from me and out the back door, as fast as Paddy''s pig? 2019 Was it here?"
2019Was there a blue- print, and did you get it from Richard Fleming?
2019We- el,said the editor,"you wo n''t let it go any further?
2019Well, Doctor?
2019Well, I was wrong, was n''t I?
2019Well, Lizzie?
2019Well, even if it is-- what has that got to do with it?
2019Well, even if you have n''t lost anything in this bank failure, a lot of your friends have-- surely?
2019Well, if I am,said Lizzie with grim, unconscious humor,"I''m giving myself an awful good scare, too, ai n''t I?"
2019Well, what was the reason?
2019Well, what''ll I say he is?
2019Well, why should n''t I be on the terrace with a searchlight?
2019Well-- can''t you dig up a Sherlock?
2019Were here?
2019Were the others like this?
2019Were there any powder marks?
2019Were you with him when he died?
2019What about Richard Fleming?
2019What about him?
2019What about that face Lizzie said you saw last night at the window?
2019What are you going to do?
2019What are you? 2019 What did he look like?"
2019What did they say to you, Lizzie-- did they give any reason? 2019 What did they yell?"
2019What did you do with the blue- print?
2019What did you mean by that''three hours more''?
2019What did you really see last night?
2019What did you see?
2019What did you see?
2019What do I know about a flashlight?
2019What do you mean by saying that paper is n''t where you put it?
2019What do you mean by somebody?
2019What do you mean to do with it then?
2019What do you mean?
2019What do you mean?
2019What do you mean?
2019What do you think is the best treatment for urticaria?
2019What does that mean?
2019What does the money matter now?
2019What fireplace? 2019 What for?"
2019What had the blue- prints to do with it?
2019What happened to you? 2019 What has happened to you?"
2019What have you got there, Doctor?
2019What is it you want me to do?
2019What is it-- vacation? 2019 What is it?"
2019What letters?
2019What papers did Fleming burn in that grate?
2019What people?
2019What sort of people?
2019What time is it?
2019What time is it?
2019What was Richard Fleming doing in this house at this hour?
2019What was that?
2019What were you and Richard Fleming doing with a blue- print?
2019What''s a detective doing here?
2019What''s he looking at?
2019What''s his number?
2019What''s in there?
2019What''s my business here?
2019What''s ten miles to the Bat?
2019What''s that?
2019What''s that?
2019What''s that?
2019What''s the matter with you anyhow, Lizzie Allen?
2019What''s what?
2019What''s your business?
2019What''s your name?
2019What''s your name?
2019What?
2019What?
2019When Fleming came in, what did he say to you?
2019When did you take that revolver out of the table drawer?
2019Where are the others?
2019Where did you get that idea?
2019Where did you leave it?
2019Where does this phone connect?
2019Where else would I be dustin''that time in the mornin''?
2019Where is that paper, now?
2019Where were you when she was locked in this room?
2019Where were you when this happened?
2019Where were you when you saw the lights?
2019Where''s Miss Ogden? 2019 Where''s my satchel?"
2019Where''s that Jap?
2019Where''s that hysterical woman Lizzie?
2019Where''s that ouija- board?
2019Where''s the candle?
2019Where?
2019Who are you?
2019Who are you?
2019Who did you see at the head of the small staircase?
2019Who do you think wrote it?
2019Who else would have fastened a dead bat to the door downstairs? 2019 Who is he?"
2019Who is he?
2019Who killed him? 2019 Who screamed?"
2019Who would n''t in the dark here with that monster loose somewhere near by?
2019Who''s in this house besides ourselves?
2019Who''s out there, Dale?
2019Who?
2019Who?
2019Whose face?
2019Whose is it?
2019Why are you so sure it is here?
2019Why did n''t you call for help? 2019 Why did n''t you say so before?"
2019Why did n''t you tell the police that? 2019 Why did you come up to the house?"
2019Why did you do such a thing?
2019Why did you lock that door?
2019Why did you tell me you were a professional gardener?
2019Why did you want blue- prints?
2019Why do n''t you read the funny page once in a while?
2019Why do n''t you tell the detective what you think?
2019Why do servants ever leave a good place?
2019Why do you say that?
2019Why do you think the servants left so sudden this morning?
2019Why do you want her?
2019Why does n''t somebody ask his name?
2019Why have you come here at this hour of night pretending to be something you''re not?
2019Why have you sent for the gardener?
2019Why is n''t this the man?
2019Why not accept my hospitality in the village to- night?
2019Why not let it be burned?
2019Why should that interest you?
2019Why, my dear child?
2019Why?
2019With searchlight?
2019With what object?
2019Wo n''t you send these men to investigate-- or go yourself?
2019Would that establish Jack Bailey''s innocence?
2019Would you like some coffee to keep you awake?
2019Would you mind putting that away?
2019YOU DON''T MEAN?
2019Yes, Lizzie?
2019Yes?
2019You are Brooks, the new gardener?
2019You did n''t have any quarrel with him?
2019You did n''t have any reason to believe that the situation was even as serious as it has proved to be?
2019You did n''t hear any evidence of a struggle, did you?
2019You do n''t know where this room is?
2019You do n''t really believe you need a detective at all, do you?
2019You do n''t remember how you were hurt?
2019You do n''t suspect my household?
2019You do n''t think I know anything about that money?
2019You do n''t think I know where the money is?
2019You do n''t think it was-- Billy?
2019You do n''t think then,persisted the detective,"that such a room and the money in it could be the motive for this crime?"
2019You give candle, please?
2019You have n''t been trying to frighten these women out of here with anonymous letters so you could get in?
2019You knew this?
2019You know better than that, though, do n''t you?
2019You know why I sent for Richard Fleming, do n''t you?
2019You mean?
2019You said Fleming had probably been shot from above?
2019You sent for me?
2019You were using it a few minutes ago?
2019You wo n''t change your mind?
2019You''re not going to ask me to go out in that hall alone?
2019You''re not going to stay up all night, are you?
2019You''re not trying to frighten Miss Van Gorder into leaving this house and going back to the city?
2019You''re sure of that, are you? 2019 You''re sure of that, are you?"
2019You''re the man my niece engaged in the city this afternoon?
2019You''re-- the-- Doctor-- I-- saw-- downstairs-- aren''t you?
2019You-- you do n''t really feel very well, do you, Dale?
2019Your aunt does n''t suspect anything?
2019Your toe went up the staircase?
2019''Has her sister got twins as well?''
2019''Is that so?''
2019''Leaving, are you?''
2019''Money, money-- who''s got the money?''
2019''Oh,''says I,''and what about Miss Van Gorder?''
2019''What?''
2019''You''re a clever woman, are n''t you?''
2019All ready?"
2019Am I ready, Lizzie?"
2019And besides, why should this person remain in the house?
2019And why this sudden interest, first in the Bat, then in the failure of the Union Bank?
2019And yet-- did the Bat ever threaten before he struck?
2019And yet-- what other story could she tell that would not bring ruin on Jack?
2019And yet--"But what enemies can Aunt Cornelia have?"
2019Anderson?"
2019Anderson?"
2019Anderson?"
2019Anybody here recognize it?"
2019Anything the matter?"
2019As long as Jack was cleared-- what matter what happened to herself?
2019Beast, man, or devil?
2019Beresford?"
2019Brooks?
2019But Miss Cornelia''s face was still thoughtful, and he went on:"Is n''t it clear, Miss Van Gorder?"
2019But if so, how and why had Dale disappeared?
2019But when she remained silent,"Is Miss Van Gorder usually-- of a nervous temperament?
2019But where could she look for aid?
2019By the way, did you bolt that door again?"
2019CHAPTER SEVENTEEN ANDERSON MAKES AN ARREST"Doctor, why did you put out that candle?"
2019CHAPTER SIX DETECTIVE ANDERSON TAKES CHARGE"What''s that?"
2019Ca n''t you remember?"
2019Curious, is n''t it?"
2019Deacon Brodie-- ever hear of him-- the Scotch deacon that burgled his parishioners''houses on the quiet?
2019Did that look like it?"
2019Did you see that, Dale?"
2019Did you tap the wires to headquarters?"
2019Did you yell like that because you stubbed your toe?"
2019Do n''t you see?
2019Do you suppose you would scream?"
2019Do you think he would wreck his future like that?"
2019Do you?"
2019Does that mean anything to you?"
2019Failure of Union Bank-- wasn''t that the bank of which Courtleigh Fleming had been president?
2019Get that?"
2019Had Richard Fleming ascertained that there was a concealed room in this house?"
2019Had something moved in that corner of blackness where her candle did not pierce?
2019Had the money been taken out of the house or had it not?
2019Hand of man or woman or paw of beast?
2019Hand or claw?
2019Have you any enemies?"
2019Have you heard from him since?"
2019Have you looked in the old secretary in the library?
2019He glanced swiftly at Dale-- was she watching him?
2019He glanced up the stairs-- were those her footsteps now?
2019Hello-- is that the country club?
2019How do I know that Bailey''s is n''t a million dollars?"
2019How do you know he is n''t the Bat?"
2019How much had he heard?
2019How much truth had there been in her story?
2019How on earth did he get out on the roof?"
2019I left that book in my satchel along with''Wedded But No Wife''and now--""Where''s your satchel?"
2019I thought nobody knew his name?"
2019I''ve been going around the last month, looking at everybody I knew and thinking-- are you the Bat?
2019If it was the law, come after Jack, what should she do?
2019If the man who took it out of the safe got away with it, why did he come back and hide there?"
2019If you had it, why did n''t you give it to Anderson when he asked for it?"
2019Imagines she sees things, and all that?"
2019In that mad rush for escape had the man hidden with Dale in the recess back of the mantel carried his booty with him, or left it behind?
2019In the name of God-- WHOSE HAND?
2019In what room?"
2019Is Billy leaving too?"
2019Is Doctor Wells there?
2019Is Mr. Richard Fleming there?
2019Is that it?"
2019It might have been the Bat-- and then where would you be this morning?"
2019Look around the University Club-- that white- haired man over there-- dignified-- respectable-- is he the Bat?
2019Mind if I smoke?"
2019Miss Cornelia heard voices in the hall-- a man''s voice-- affable--"How have you been, Billy?"
2019Miss Dale got a stain on her sleeve there this afternoon-- and Lizzie--""Yes''m?"
2019No?"
2019Now if I were the Bat, or any criminal, she mused, how would I get into this house?
2019Now what was the next step detectives always took?
2019Now who do you suppose did that?
2019Now,"Where''s Anderson?
2019Now-- what''s this?"
2019Only if they have, would you ask Lizzie to bring me one when she brings up the lemonade?
2019Or again, suppose it was the Unknown who had threatened them with death?
2019Or the cook''s sister had twins?"
2019Or what you call the imagination?"
2019She could not call the detective without ruining Jack-- and yet, if Fleming escaped with the money-- how could Jack ever prove his innocence?
2019She had not remembered the cap-- why had n''t she burned it, concealed it-- as she had concealed the blue- print?
2019She heard him at the door, then a murmur of voices-- Dale''s voice and another''s--"Won''t you come in for a few minutes?
2019Should she tell him the truth?
2019The Bat?
2019The Bat?"
2019The Doctor had been so helpful-- why had she not confided in him before?
2019The Doctor was kind and thoughtful-- more than that, he was an experienced man of the world-- if he could not advise her, who could?
2019The detective?
2019The gardener?"
2019The idea is-- a Hidden Room-- and the money is in it-- is that it?"
2019The man who has been his accomplice all along?
2019Then-- was that a sound from the alcove?
2019Thought- transference-- warning-- accident?
2019Vacant?
2019Was Anderson trying a chance shot in the dark-- or had he stumbled upon some fresh evidence against her?
2019Was a listener crouched behind those doors-- or was it only a trick of carpentry-- a gesture of chance?
2019Was he going to run away on some pretext before she could finish her story?
2019Was it possible that Dale, too, had been receiving threatening letters?
2019Well, many people at the country club?"
2019Were old wives''tales and witches''fables true after all?
2019What case do you want to be assigned to?"
2019What deduction would he draw if he had heard?
2019What had happened to him?
2019What have you been doing all day, darling?"
2019What have you done with her?"
2019What is it?
2019What use of denial when every tiny circumstance was so leagued against her?
2019What''s his name?"
2019What''s that?"
2019Where did you get him?"
2019Where is Miss Dale?"
2019Where is Miss Van Gorder-- taking a nap?"
2019Where was Brooks?
2019Where''s your revolver, Beresford?"
2019Who else would have the bravado to do that?
2019Who probably bought a cadaver out West and buried it with honors here not long ago?"
2019Why did he rent it to you?"
2019Why did n''t he get the money, if it was here, and get away?"
2019Why did n''t you yell?"
2019Why did they leave?"
2019Why had Beresford''s manner changed so, and what was he saying to Billy now?
2019Why had n''t she thought of such an explanation before?
2019Why is n''t it the nephew who is trying to break in?"
2019Why on earth were you having pistol practice, darling-- has Billy turned into a Japanese spy or what?"
2019Why?
2019Why?
2019Why?"
2019Wo n''t you come with me, Aunt Cornelia?"
2019You did n''t listen?"
2019You may also recall that Doctor Wells took a scrap of paper from Richard Fleming''s hand and tried to conceal it-- why did he do that?"
2019he muttered, then, changing his tone,"You knew about this hidden room, Wells?"
2019he said uncomprehendingly,"do n''t you see where this places you?
2019queried Dale, and,"Where the devil is that detective?"
19069''Ave I waited on a murderer?
19069A Frenchman?
19069A dagger?
19069A foreigner?
19069About a year ago, eh, poppa?
19069About my friend Dr. Jorce saying I was with him on that night?
19069About that there murder?
19069About what, sir?
19069About what?
19069Against your father?
19069Ai n''t the law the police, you foolish gal?
19069An Italian?
19069And Ferruci also?
19069And I?
19069And Rhoda?
19069And about that side passage as you talked of to the missis?
19069And are you ill in mind?
19069And at what time did he leave?
19069And did the lady go out into the cold winter weather without the cloak?
19069And do you think-- do you really think that she-- that she-- would be happy with-- with me?
19069And entitled to all his pile?
19069And for what reason? 19069 And he told you he had enemies?"
19069And how do I know if he did?
19069And the man''s shadow was the Count''s?
19069And then?
19069And there is a passage leading from Jersey Street into your yard?
19069And this cloak?
19069And what you think now?
19069And who is the assassin, in your opinion?
19069And who may she be?
19069And who provided that resemblance? 19069 And why should I trouble my head to do so?"
19069And you have refused him?
19069And you killed him?
19069Are you English, my girl?
19069Are you a Scotchman?
19069Are you certain of what you say?
19069Are you sure it is the same ribbon?
19069Are you sure of that?
19069Are you sure, Link?
19069Are you sure?
19069Are you sure?
19069Are you the L. D. who advertised for me?
19069Are you there?
19069At nine, sir?
19069Before you begin, will you tell me what you think of the couple?
19069But already the dark man had seen the lady?
19069But did my father tell his wife that he was in Geneva Square?
19069But did she?
19069But how could you think he had come by the name, Doctor?
19069But if we search the house?
19069But is it true?
19069But the lady, you say, went at eight, and you saw the man half an hour later?
19069But the veil?
19069But what could I do?
19069But what do you think of it all?
19069But what grounds have you to believe him any one of the three?
19069But what the mischief made him buy that rabbit- skin cloak?
19069But who is Wrent?
19069But why should she take all that trouble, and run the risk of being seen, when it is plain that your father expected her?
19069But wo n''t the two be seen climbing over that fence in the daytime?
19069But you did not see Link?
19069But, Diana, suppose he does go to the Silent House, and proves to be Wrent?
19069But, dear Mrs. Vrain, you are not going?
19069By means of a cypher? 19069 Can his word be trusted?"
19069Can she identify the dead man?
19069Can we not find a proof?
19069Can you believe that? 19069 Can you keep a secret, Miss Greeb?"
19069Can you prove it?
19069Can you prove that she was so reckless?
19069Can you tell me anything more?
19069Can you tell me the name of the dark man you saw in the yard?
19069Can you?
19069Conspiracy?
19069Could you swear to it?
19069Could you swear to the man if you saw him?
19069Diana? 19069 Did I buy a cloak?"
19069Did I, really?
19069Did I? 19069 Did Mrs. Clear never mention it?"
19069Did Mrs. Clear say you were her husband, Michael?
19069Did he indulge in strong drink?
19069Did he kill that man?
19069Did he lodge here, sir?
19069Did he seem afraid?
19069Did n''t I tell you so? 19069 Did she love this Italian?"
19069Did she run away?
19069Did she say why her husband made you examine the house?
19069Did the threat keep Rhoda away?
19069Did you buy the cloak?
19069Did you ever hear Mr. Wrent mention his name?
19069Did you find anything else?
19069Did you know-- did you guess, or even suspect-- that your husband was alive?
19069Did you not get Ferruci to put your husband into an asylum?
19069Did you not know where he went on leaving Berwin Manor?
19069Did you not take that stiletto from Berwin Manor?
19069Did you not visit Wrent in Jersey Street?
19069Do I understand, Count, that you have brought me all the way from my place in Hampstead to decide a bet?
19069Do n''t I know it? 19069 Do n''t you know the name, Doctor?"
19069Do n''t you think he hated Ferruci?
19069Do you call Mr. Berwin a ghost?
19069Do you know a man called Wrent?
19069Do you know a man called Wrent?
19069Do you know any one who would disguise himself so as to implicate you in the murder?
19069Do you know anything against Signor Ferruci?
19069Do you know the assassin?
19069Do you know the name of the person?
19069Do you know where he is to be found?
19069Do you know who did?
19069Do you know who he is?
19069Do you refer to the horrible death of my son- in- law?
19069Do you still suspect her?
19069Do you think Mrs. Vrain took it?
19069Do you think he took that stiletto?
19069Do you think she has anything to do with it?
19069Do you think she knows anything?
19069Do you think that Wrent is Vrain?
19069Do you think, then, that Clyne would let his daughter marry a man who has done all this?
19069Do you?
19069Does the landlord know of any secret passages?
19069Even granting that this is so, which I doubt, Diana, why should the man be murdered?
19069For me?
19069For the murder of Clear?
19069For yourself?
19069From whom?
19069Good''eavens, Rhoda, did you see the murdering villain?
19069Has Mr. Wrent returned here since his departure?
19069Has he any suspicions as to whom the person may be?
19069Has n''t her eyes?
19069Have they to do with this crime?
19069Have you any idea who killed him?
19069Have you forgotten what Mrs. Clear said? 19069 Have you heard anything of that girl Rhoda?"
19069Have you?
19069He did n''t kill the man-- how could he, seeing he was at Hampstead on that Christmas Eve midnight, as I found out from his servants?
19069He knew, then?
19069Hear what?
19069Her dying confession?
19069How am I to discover the man''s past?
19069How can I find out who made it?
19069How can I reply to your parables, or read your dark sayings?
19069How can we prove it?
19069How dare you keep what is n''t yours? 19069 How did her mistress take her desertion?"
19069How do you know I shall marry Miss Vrain?
19069How do you know my name?
19069How do you know the dagger was a real one?
19069How do you know, Miss Tyler?
19069How do you make that out?
19069How do you mean, Miss Greeb?
19069How so, sir?
19069I am sorry,said Lucian, noting that the doctor did look ill,"but why did you not send on your information to me?"
19069I daresay he knows already that Mrs. Clear is a traitress?
19069I should think so,said Denzil, in high glee, as he rose to depart;"and now I will say----""Good- bye?"
19069I? 19069 I?"
19069If Mrs. Vrain is innocent, how did she find out that the unknown man murdered in Geneva Square was my father?
19069If not, why should Mrs. Vrain identify the body as that of her husband?
19069In plain English, you refused him?
19069In the newspapers, also?
19069In what way is he a mystery?
19069Is Dr. Jorce at your rooms?
19069Is all that she can say? 19069 Is he mad?"
19069Is it about the lodgings?
19069Is it you?
19069Is not that word a trifle melodramatic?
19069Is she dead, also?
19069Is that you?
19069Is the Count acquainted with these sentiments?
19069Is the gate of this passage locked at night?
19069Is there anything wrong in that?
19069Is this all your proof?
19069Is this the place?
19069It was half- past eight when the servant saw the dark man run out of the yard?
19069Jorce declares that Ferruci was with him at the house when the murder was committed?
19069Look here, Mr. Denzil, would you break a promise?
19069May I ask why you take me from my bed so early?
19069Me? 19069 Mr. Denzil,"she stammered,"is-- is this-- is this a jest?"
19069Mrs. Clear told you all, eh? 19069 Mrs. Clear, also?"
19069My dear,she said, taking his arm,"what do you think of Lydia''s accusation?"
19069My good friend,said Ferruci, laying his stern hand on the shoulder of this oddity,"this gentleman wishes you to decide a-- what do you say?--bet?"
19069Nor Ferruci?
19069Not a stiletto?
19069Not by drink?
19069Not dead?
19069Not even of those who are after you?
19069Not even your husband''s death?
19069Not even_ au revoir_?
19069Now that you have this piece of evidence, Miss Vrain, what do you intend to do?
19069Now, Mrs. Bensusan, do you know if any lady was in the habit of passing through that passage at night?
19069Occasionally,replied Diana, smiling and blushing;"and you will come down to Berwin Manor when I send you an invitation?"
19069Of what?
19069Of whom?
19069Oh, he wore a skull- cap?
19069On what grounds?
19069On what grounds?
19069On what grounds?
19069One of those who wish to harm me?
19069One of whom?
19069Perhaps not, Mr. Denzil; but where do those he sees come from?
19069Quite so; but the question is, do you wish any scandal?
19069Sakes alive, man, what should I want with a disguise? 19069 Shall I send a doctor to see you?"
19069Shall we tell Miss Barbar of our engagement?
19069She keeps a boarding- house, then?
19069So Rhoda went back to her tribe?
19069So it was an accident, after all?
19069So the gist of all this is that Mr. Vrain left you ten months ago, and did not leave his address?
19069So the marriage was a failure?
19069Suppose I find out that he killed your husband?
19069The proofs you have given seem sufficient, Mrs. Vrain, but may I ask when your husband left his home?
19069The same mentioned in the newspaper reports as having waited on my unhappy father?
19069Then I could n''t have been in Jersey Street or Geneva Square, sticking Mark with the stiletto?
19069Then how could those who killed him have entered?
19069Then if she did not know his whereabouts, how could she kill him?
19069Then tell me, Doctor, if you spoke truly about that alibi?
19069Then what is to prevent any one coming in under cover of darkness and climbing the fence? 19069 Then who did?"
19069Then who is in your house?
19069Then why has n''t she been to see me?
19069Then why not find Wrent?
19069Then you admit that that Vrain was mad?
19069Then you are sure this cloak is n''t yours?
19069Then you do n''t think that Signor Ferruci is guilty?
19069This Mr. Denzil declares that he saw me in Pim-- Pim-- what?
19069This?
19069This?
19069To whom does it belong?
19069Was Clear in bed?
19069Was Count Ferruci at Berwin Manor at the time?
19069Was Mr. Berwin-- I beg pardon, Vrain-- was he married twice?
19069Was he? 19069 Was he?"
19069Was it ever seen? 19069 Was n''t he murdered?"
19069Was the Count with you at ten o''clock on that evening?
19069Was the lady agitated when she went out?
19069Was the letter from him?
19069We played whist, did n''t we?
19069Well, Doctor, and what did you say?
19069Well, Miss Vrain,said Lucian, seeing that she did not speak,"what do you think of it all?"
19069Well, Mr. Denzil,said the former, repeating her earlier question,"what is to be done now?
19069Well, sir,said the rosy- cheeked Clyne, with more sharpness than might have been expected from his peaceful aspect,"and ai n''t Berwin Vrain?"
19069Well, then, tell me,continued the barrister,"is the house built with a full frontage like those in this square?
19069Well, then, that means I''m Mr. Vrain''s widow?
19069Well, what is to be done?
19069Well, what''s this old thing got to do with me?
19069Well,said Diana coldly,"and why should they not receive the reward of their deeds?"
19069Well,said Lucian, wondering at her excitement,"and what does that prove?"
19069Well?
19069What about Signor Ferruci?
19069What about the assurance money?
19069What about the missing finger, Mrs. Vrain? 19069 What about the promised revelation of Rhoda?"
19069What boon would you ask?
19069What conspiracy?
19069What did he say?
19069What did she do with the stiletto?
19069What did she say about Vrain being Wrent?
19069What do you intend to do?
19069What do you know of the stiletto?
19069What do you mean by that?
19069What do you mean, Count? 19069 What do you mean, sir?"
19069What do you mean? 19069 What do you think of this idea of suicide?"
19069What do you want to know, sir?
19069What does Jorce think?
19069What does Lydia say?
19069What else do you call it, Lucian? 19069 What is amusing you, dear?"
19069What is he like?
19069What is his name, Miss Greeb?
19069What is his name-- or her name?
19069What is the name of this woman?
19069What is''t ye want?
19069What made you suspicious that there might be something wrong?
19069What makes ye take up the case?
19069What might you be pleased to want, sir?
19069What of that? 19069 What other people?"
19069What put that into your head?
19069What reputation has she, Miss Greeb?
19069What time am I to see you to- night?
19069What time did he arrive?
19069What was he like?
19069What was her business in town, Miss Tyler?
19069What-- what do you know about such-- such things?
19069What?
19069When did she confess her crime?
19069When did they come back?
19069When did you find out the truth?
19069Where did he go to, Miss Tyler?
19069Where did you get that ribbon?
19069Where does Ferruci say he was?
19069Where does he live?
19069Where is he now?
19069Where is the house?
19069Where to?
19069Where would you take me?
19069Where?
19069Which you did?
19069Who are they?
19069Who are you?
19069Who are you?
19069Who else should it be?
19069Who is Rhoda?
19069Who is Wrent?
19069Who is Wrent?
19069Who is Wrent?
19069Who is the lady?
19069Who is this person?
19069Who is this, Doctor?
19069Who is this? 19069 Who is with her now?"
19069Who said anything about the daytime, Mr. Denzil? 19069 Who says he did?"
19069Who took it away?
19069Why Wrent?
19069Why did you buy the cloak?
19069Why did you faint on the mention of the stiletto?
19069Why did you hate him?
19069Why did you wish to do that, doctor?
19069Why do you ask such a question?
19069Why do you ask?
19069Why do you ask?
19069Why do you ask?
19069Why do you wish to know about the matter?
19069Why not? 19069 Why not?
19069Why not? 19069 Why not?
19069Why not?
19069Why should I be angry?
19069Why should she?
19069Why, Miss Greeb?
19069Why? 19069 Why?
19069Why?
19069Why?
19069Why?
19069Why?
19069Will Wrent be arrested?
19069Will you answer a few questions?
19069Will you go on with your story, Miss Vrain? 19069 Will you let me take this cloak away with me?"
19069Will you take Mr. Link with you?
19069Will you truly love me ever, Lucian?
19069With a view to a possible tenant, I suppose?
19069Worse than ghosts?
19069Wot''s Christmas Eve for, if it ai n''t for folk to enj''y theirselves? 19069 Would you repeat this statement, if I wished?"
19069Wrent?
19069Ye want to know who the lady is?
19069You admit, then, that the so- called Vrain was really Michael Clear?
19069You approve of my marrying Diana-- I mean Miss Vrain?
19069You are a friend of his?
19069You are not American?
19069You are not one of them?
19069You can not say who killed my father?
19069You did not get on well together?
19069You do n''t propose to accuse her of the murder?
19069You do n''t say, sir, that Mr. Wrent is a murdering villain, steeped in gore?
19069You do?
19069You have searched the house?
19069You have seen Link?
19069You infer, then, that Mrs. Vrain was in love with the Italian?
19069You mean in connection with the conspiracy?
19069You really thought it was my father''s body?
19069You think I am innocent? 19069 You were in town on Christmas Eve?"
19069Your father was not mad?
19069Your father? 19069 ''Ave you gone crazy?
19069''Ave you, Rhoda?"
19069''Ow d''ye know but what he wo n''t be dead afore morning?
1906913, with the yards between?"
1906913?
1906913?"
1906913?"
1906913?"
1906913?"
1906913?"
19069And how is the business to be accomplished?"
19069And is n''t his first name Mark?"
19069And the evidence against him?"
19069And what does the friend say?"
19069And what will her father say?
19069And where''s Jersey Street?"
19069And who are you?"
19069And who the deuce is Wrent?"
19069And why?"
19069And you?"
19069And you?"
19069Are you certain that this dead man is-- or rather was-- your husband?"
19069Are you the wife of the man who was murdered in the house opposite?"
19069As she can not prove his death, she finds it impossible to obtain the assurance money; so what does she do?"
19069As such, do you consider her evidence reliable?"
19069At what hour?
19069Bella, would you mind----""Leaving the room?
19069Bensusan?"
19069Bensusan?"
19069Besides, if it was, how can you connect the Italian with the deed?"
19069But I would not be surprised if the man who could solve the mystery is----""Who?--who?"
19069But how do you know the rest of this house is bare?"
19069But how to fly?
19069But if you succeed in identifying Berwin, will you let me know?"
19069But is there any need for you to go back so soon?"
19069But since you think I have done so little, Mr. Denzil, let me ask you who it is you suspect?"
19069But what am I to do in the meantime?"
19069But why do you speak in the plural?"
19069But why is the Silent House to be pulled down?"
19069But, Mrs. Vrain, when Ferruci confessed that your husband was alive, why did you not tell it to the world?"
19069But, after all, from what point can I begin afresh?"
19069But-- can I trust her?
19069But-- you are not angry?"
19069By the way, you say your father was at Camden Hill on Christmas Eve?"

19069Can good come out of Nazareth?

19069Can you describe his appearance to me?"
19069Can you describe his appearance?
19069Can you doubt it?
19069Can you prove an alibi?"
19069Can you tell me?"
19069Clear?"
19069Clear?"
19069Clear?"
19069Clear?"

19069Clear?"

19069Denzil?"
19069Denzil?"
19069Denzil?"
19069Denzil?"
19069Denzil?"
19069Denzil?"
19069Denzil?"
19069Denzil?"
19069Denzil?"
19069Did Jorce ask about me there?"
19069Did he go away altogether?
19069Did he have any visitors?
19069Did he pay his rent regularly?
19069Did he stay to supper also?
19069Did she come often to see Mr. Wrent?
19069Did she leave the house?
19069Did you ever hear any conversation between them?
19069Do n''t you remember, Mr. Denzil, how disorderly the room was?
19069Do you intend to reopen the case?"
19069Do you know Mrs. Bensusan and her house well?"
19069Do you know why I went to Italy?"
19069Do you say I killed Mark?"
19069Do you think he was a foreigner?
19069Do you think it would be granted?"
19069Have you come to be nasty?"
19069Have you got him with you?"
19069Have you met her?"
19069Have you no suspicion?"
19069He----""What is the name of the tenant?"
19069How did she get hold of it?"
19069How do you figure that out?"
19069How do you know I meant her?"
19069How do you know he was killed with that stiletto?"
19069How do you know?"
19069How should I?"
19069How the deuce did she come to confess?"
19069How was I to know''twas any good?"
19069How would a man, of his own will, pass as the husband of a woman he knew not?"
19069I do n''t pretend to advise, Mr. Link,"he added in soothing tones,"but would it not be wise to use the medium of the daily papers?"
19069I mean, to gain Mrs. Bensusan''s back yard is it necessary to go through Mrs. Bensusan''s house?"
19069I suppose Mrs. Kebby has been talking?"
19069I suppose you wish to learn all that I know of the tragedy?"
19069I''d like to know who killed Mark, also; and you say that cloak will show it?"
19069If Diana''s belief should be a true one, and her father not dead?
19069If Lydia did not take it, who did?"
19069If Lydia did not take it, who else had occasion to bring it up to London?"
19069If Vrain lived in Jersey Street as Wrent, why should Mrs. Clear visit him?"
19069If he ai n''t a criminal, Mr. Denzil, why does he carry on so?"
19069If so, why did she not speak before, and why is she so vindictive?
19069If what you say is true,"said the Italian, cunningly,"how came it that the murdered man had the scar on his cheek?
19069In Mark''s sitting- room?
19069Is Mrs. Vrain going to marry him?"
19069Is it likely that a man like him would commit a murder?"
19069Is it possible to prove that Mrs. Vrain removed this dagger?"
19069Is it, then, about to receive a new tenant?"
19069Is she in England?"
19069Is this the house?"
19069Jorce?"
19069Kebby?"
19069Link?"
19069Link?"
19069Link?"
19069Link?"
19069May I call on you again before you leave town?"
19069Now do you understand?"
19069Now, sir,"cried Miss Greeb, clinching her argument,"if Mr. Berwin came into the square alone, how did his visitors get in?"
19069Of course you''ll repeat our conversation to no one?"
19069Oh, was there ever so unhappy a creature as I?
19069On what night?
19069Putting these two things together, what do you make of Mrs. Vrain''s fainting?"
19069Quarterday?
19069Queer case, is n''t it?"
19069Quite a carol that hymn was, eh, dears?"
19069Rhoda,''ow can you''ave let on to the gentleman as I''m deficient?
19069She is going to be married, also, and to whom, do you think?"
19069She told you what, my friend?"
19069So this was why she had left Jersey Street?
19069Supposing, after all, this mysterious Wrent proves to be this unhappy man?"
19069That he resembles the purchaser in looks and nationality is either a coincidence or----""Or what?"
19069Then----""Well,"said Diana, curiously,"what then?"
19069Vrain?"
19069Vrain?"
19069Vrain?"
19069Vrain?"
19069Vrain?"
19069Vrain?"
19069Vrain?"
19069Vrain?"
19069Vrain?"
19069Vrain?"
19069Vrain?"
19069Vrain?"
19069Vrain?"
19069Vrain?--the conspiracy?"
19069Was he in this house on Christmas Eve?
19069Was it ever found?
19069Was n''t Mr. Vrain stabbed with a dagger?
19069Well, Mr. Denzil, are you satisfied?"
19069Well, can I get this assurance money?"
19069Well, so you and she accuse me of killing Mark?
19069Well, why do you not tell Diana so, with any pretty additions your fancy suggests?"
19069What about Ferruci?"
19069What about the Count''s presence in Jersey Street on Christmas Eve?"
19069What about the Silent House in Pimlico?"
19069What d''ye want to know for?"
19069What did Mrs. Clear say?"
19069What do you think of them?"
19069What does the woman say?"
19069What has he said about me?"
19069What is it you have to tell me?"
19069What kind of a veil did she wear?
19069What of that?
19069What of that?"
19069What of that?"
19069What was the lady like?
19069What was the male visitor like?
19069What will be the end of it?"
19069What''s wrong?"
19069Whatever is Miss Greeb thinking of?"
19069When did he come to Jersey Street?
19069When did he go away?
19069When did he visit Mr. Wrent last?
19069When did she call last?
19069When do you go down?"
19069Where did you find it?"
19069Where did you see the weapon last?"
19069Where had he been?
19069Where is my cloak?"
19069Where was he during the other four?"
19069Who are the Pegalls, may I ask?"
19069Who are you?"
19069Who can prove that?"
19069Who dares to say that such a sweet girl is guilty of the crimes she is charged with?
19069Who is Diana?"
19069Who is Wrent, anyhow?"
19069Who is she?"
19069Who is this accommodating friend?"
19069Who killed the man?"
19069Who took it?"
19069Why did Mr. Wrent give you the cloak?
19069Why do you ask?"
19069Why does she come here?"
19069Why should I and the Count murder poor Mark, if you please?
19069Why should she risk losing these advantages to gain more money?"
19069Why should the Italian be intimate with the owner of a private asylum-- with a man so much beneath him in rank?"
19069Why?
19069Will you really be my wife?"
19069Will you sketch me the houses as clearly as you can?"
19069Wrent?"
19069Wrent?"
19069Wrent?"
19069Wrent?"
19069Wrent?"
19069Yet Diana hated her, and still hates her; but I ask any one who reads this confession if my dear Lyddy is not the better woman of the two?
19069You are n''t thinking of taking the house yourself, I suppose?"
19069You refuse to help me?"
19069You remember that Clyne left the stiletto from Berwin Manor on Clear''s table?"
19069are ye?"
19069asked Miss Vrain, getting to business as soon as Lucian was seated,"and what have you found out?"
19069called Lucian,"and here?
19069cried Diana,"is there no way of getting at the truth of this matter?
19069cried Ferruci,"is not my word good?"
19069cried Mrs. Bensusan,"ai n''t it, Rhoda?
19069cried Mrs. Vrain, ironically,"and how can you prove I did?"
19069cried Mrs. Vrain, raising her eyebrows,"have you been talking to that old stump?
19069have I not had a heap of trouble since then?"
19069he thought,"can that doll of a Lydia be guilty, after all?"
19069how should I?
19069interrupted Lucian,"did she wear a black gauze veil with velvet spots?"
19069is n''t it dreadful?
19069is n''t this awful?"
19069said Lucian pointedly and-- it must be confessed-- rather rudely,"so you have found the necessity of having respectable friends, however dull?"
19069said Lucian, looking at her composedly,"so you are the celebrated Rhoda?
19069said the young barrister, shaking the stranger by the shoulder,"what is the matter with you?"
19069she repeated in a pretty mocking tone,"and I?"
19069was Lucian''s comment on the speech of Jorce,"and he is here under your charge?
19069were not these ills enough but what the woman must add murder to cap them both?"
19069what position does he hold?"
19069you see?
19069you wish to know who Wrent is?
20152''Can you tell us anything about the suspicions directed against Henry Morley?'' 20152 ''Who''s the somebody else?''
20152A Mr. Morley, Mr. Henry Morley, registered there last night, did n''t he?
20152A motive? 20152 A sixteenth of a grain, was n''t it?
20152A sort of second line of defense?
20152About Carpenter?
20152About this murder?
20152Ahem-- When?
20152And Mrs. Withers did n''t know of it?
20152And he did take the hundred?
20152And his beard, Mr. Braceway? 20152 And that was the end of it?"
20152And the first had no beard?
20152And the pawned diamonds and emeralds are certainly the Withers stuff, a part of it?
20152And the second reason?
20152And the stones? 20152 And the voice?
20152And then what?
20152And then, what?
20152And this,added Bristow, taking something from his vest pocket and handing it to the chief of police,"looks more like it, does n''t it?"
20152And what did you do?
20152And when you were struggling with him? 20152 And why did he want the ring last night when you had broken with him earlier yesterday?"
20152And will you?
20152And you also thought these two men you saw were Withers?
20152And you did take money from the Anderson National Bank?
20152And you told him so?
20152And you took it-- administered it to yourself?
20152And you waited until she returned?
20152And you''re not in pain?
20152And you''re satisfied?
20152And you''ve been in Furmville since yesterday morning? 20152 And you?"
20152Another detective?
20152Anybody else seen him?
20152Are you packed up?
20152Because there are some things here you and I had better go over, and I think we''d do well to follow Morley, do n''t you? 20152 Before you go any further, Braceway,"he interrupted testily,"can you tell us where George Withers is?"
20152Brace,he said,"you''ll get the devil who''s caused all this, wo n''t you?
20152But Mr. Morley did n''t like her, did he?
20152But he knew it did n''t belong to you, did n''t he?
20152But how about our little job-- getting the description of the jewelry and having Greenleaf wire it out? 20152 But if she suspected, merely suspected?"
20152But what''s the big idea in your trying to do a Sherlock Holmes in this murder case?
20152But what''s the news with you?
20152But will you?
20152But you know where he is?
20152But you think my plan for the inquest is all right?
20152But you were in the house, Number Five, last evening, were n''t you?
20152But, if you do find this hirsute individual, what then? 20152 By the way, Mr. Bristow,"he suggested,"would n''t it be a good idea for us to search the yard and garden back of this house?"
20152By the way,Bristow asked,"what about the two buttons we found?"
20152By the way,he said,"ca n''t I get a drink of water?"
20152By the way,interjected Bristow once more, and this time his voice was cold, steely;"Mr. Morley, did you wear rubbers last night?"
20152Ca n''t you come with me?
20152Ca n''t you tell me?
20152Call a doctor-- and the police, somebody, will you?
20152Can I get a statement from her?
20152Chief, are you still holding Perry?
20152Come up here at six-- this evening, will you? 20152 Could she have mortgaged her home in Baltimore?"
20152Delaney wo n''t lose him?
20152Did Ashurst watch him?
20152Did Miss Fulton answer that?
20152Did Miss Maria Fulton at that time know Henry Morley?
20152Did Withers say to you outright, flat and unmistakably, that he saw the fellow inside the shop?
20152Did he have a gold tooth, Roddy?
20152Did he raise the money?
20152Did he wear rubber overshoes when he had the beard, and when he did n''t have it?
20152Did he?
20152Did he?
20152Did n''t murder or robbery occur to you when you saw those two men on the steps?
20152Did n''t you carry Mr. Morley''s grips up to his room for him that night, room number four hundred and twenty- one?
20152Did n''t you think it was queer?
20152Did she call out to him?
20152Did she ever tell you anything to make you think that she was n''t happy?
20152Did she give any idea who the murderer might be?
20152Did she say when she got drunk?
20152Did she say why?
20152Did she see his face?
20152Did the second wear a raincoat?
20152Did they ever quarrel?
20152Did you ever ask him?
20152Did you see anybody else that night-- Monday night?
20152Did you see anybody while you were walking?
20152Did you see anything, George?
20152Did you see the struggle?
20152Did you talk with Eidstein?
20152Did you try to enter Number Five?
20152Did you wake her up, Mattie?
20152Do I have to tell that?
20152Do n''t you know the other, Miss Fulton, equally well?
20152Do n''t you know?
20152Do you happen to know that a man, clumsily disguised and answering to your description, pawned some of the Withers jewelry in Baltimore today?
20152Do you know what it was?
20152Do you know where Mrs. Withers''servant lives?
20152Do you know whether Mrs. Withers had any valuable jewelry-- rings, stuff of that kind?
20152Do you know, Mr. Morley, whether they had a quarrel yesterday?
20152Do you know?
20152Do you propose that we work on the case with the supposition that Withers is in no way responsible for any part of the tragedy?
20152Do you remember anything else about how the bearded man looked?
20152Do you think,he asked Miss Martin,"there''s the slightest chance of his getting up this evening, or tonight?"
20152Do you want them here, and now?
20152Do you?
20152Doctor,requested Greenleaf,"look at this body, will you?
20152Even when Mrs. Withers was here nursing Miss Fulton?
20152Excuse me,Bristow interposed;"but was n''t it Abrahamson who told you the bearded man looked like Withers?"
20152First, however,he supplemented in his light, conversational tone,"how about you?"
20152Got anything from Baltimore?
20152Greenleaf told you, I suppose, that he''d given Morley permission to leave tonight?
20152Had you been asleep during the two hours before that?
20152Has he been around this morning?
20152Has he ever registered at any of the hotels here?
20152Has he said anything to you since Monday night?
20152Has she had much bromide-- stuff like that?
20152Have n''t you any idea yet where to look for the murderer? 20152 Have you anything new, anything additional?"
20152Have you ever heard anything else like that at any other time?
20152Have you seen the man with the beard since?
20152Have you told this to anybody else?--or do you intend to?
20152He said all that, in what connection-- crime?
20152He was wealthy then?
20152Hear anything about Perry?
20152How about Miss Fulton?
20152How about Withers?
20152How about avoiding him on the train? 20152 How about the diamonds and emeralds?"
20152How about the lavalliere? 20152 How about the newspapers?"
20152How about the time between midnight and two in the morning? 20152 How about your brother- in- law?"
20152How did Morley look when he showed up there the second time?
20152How did you know the man you saw in the lobby was the one you had seen going into the post- office?
20152How do they happen to be working for you?
20152How do you explain that?
20152How do you know that? 20152 How do you know that?"
20152How do you know that?
20152How in thunder did you get this out of the woman?
20152How is Miss Fulton?
20152How long has she been awake?
20152How long has she been dead?
20152How much?
20152How much?
20152How old is Miss Fulton?
20152How will we find that out?
20152How?
20152How?
20152I beg your pardon,he called to her persuasively,"but may I trouble you to come up here for a moment?"
20152I mean: what do you and Withers gain by letting Braceway keep this thing before the public?
20152I see,commented Bristow, and added very quickly:"How much of your sister''s jewelry is in this house now?"
20152I should say murder, or something just a little short of murder-- wouldn''t you?
20152I''ve arranged for us to have it up here, if you do n''t mind?
20152If I begin to talk in my sleep, Miss Kelly, call me, wake me up, will you?
20152If I pawned them,Morley added, without raising his eyes,"why was n''t the money found on me?"
20152If it was not he? 20152 If,"the other ruminated,"the jewels pawned yesterday were not Mrs. Withers'', why would n''t the man who pawned them come forward and say so?
20152In here?
20152Is it one of Braceway''s jokes?
20152Is n''t there something you can tell us?
20152Is that all?
20152Is that so? 20152 Is there anything more?"
20152It must have belonged to Mrs. Withers, do n''t you think?
20152It was Withers he was after from the start,--was it?
20152It was a hypodermic injection, was n''t it?
20152Just what news?
20152Just what was the feeling between the two sisters?
20152Makes you sleep soundly?
20152Mattie, did n''t I hear Perry tell you yesterday that he was to go to work this morning for Mrs. Withers,''making''her garden?
20152Miss Fulton said nothing to you about a quarrel?
20152Miss Fulton, who was the man?
20152Miss Fulton,he asked,"you and Mr. Morley are engaged to be married, are n''t you?"
20152Mr. Braceway is working with you, is n''t he?
20152Mr. Withers,he asked,"as a matter of fact, did you ever know that your wife had pawned her jewels?"
20152Mrs. Withers was always a laughing, sparkling sort of a person, was n''t she?
20152Niggering it?
20152No wonder I laughed, was it? 20152 None at all?"
20152Not at all?
20152Not on the porch?
20152Nothing more than that?
20152Now, about Withers? 20152 Now, about the emeralds and diamonds?"
20152Now, one thing about Mr. Morley: do you think he has stolen money-- from his bank, for instance?
20152Now,he said, fixing his keen glance upon her,"about this quarrel you and your sister had yesterday?"
20152Oh, what''s the use? 20152 Oh, you got that-- by wire?"
20152Oh,Bristow asked, as if suddenly remembering an important item,"what kind of shoes is Perry wearing?"
20152Pawned by whom-- herself?
20152Pawning something, perhaps?
20152Pawnshops?
20152Ready to go?
20152Rubber soles?
20152Rubbers?
20152Same sort of thing?
20152Send him up to my room, will you?
20152She ca n''t remember that, can she?
20152She did n''t try to identify him?
20152So you had n''t been asleep for two hours?
20152Suppose,said Braceway,"we let him leave Furmville, let him go back to Washington, with the hope that he does pawn the stuff he''s stolen?"
20152Tell me this: would the ordinary man in the street have noticed that the gold tooth was a false, clumsy affair?
20152Tell me,Braceway asked with undisguised eagerness,"did this man wear a beard?"
20152That is-- that was Mrs. Withers, was n''t it?
20152That was four years ago?
20152That''s funny, is n''t it?
20152That,he said easily,"accounts for you, does n''t it?
20152The fellow with the gold tooth?
20152The first is: was the bearded man Morley? 20152 Then I was right?
20152Then I''ll see you in the morning?
20152Then, how did you wake yourself up thoroughly enough to know that it was exactly five minutes past two?
20152Then, tell us this, please,Bristow demanded, the sharpness in his tone pronounced:"have you and your wife been on the best of terms lately?
20152Then, when did you give him-- let him have Mrs. Withers''ring?
20152They were worth so much as all that?
20152Think you''ve got sense enough to fool all the white folks?
20152This man,the chief put in;"what did he look like?"
20152This ring,he said;"whose is it?"
20152Undoubtedly,Bristow assented; and spoke to Miss Kelly:"I beg your pardon, but is Miss Fulton up this morning, or will she be up later?"
20152Very well,agreed Beale, and turned to Braceway:"Will that be satisfactory?"
20152Wants to see me, Miss Kelly?
20152Was Perry drunk last night? 20152 Was he still there then?"
20152Was his machine noisy?
20152Was it possible for anybody to mistake one for the other? 20152 Was there anything else?"
20152Was there anything peculiar about him? 20152 We never know what''s ahead of us, do we?
20152Well, Mr. Braceway, what is it? 20152 Well, chief,"he said,"what do you make out of all this?
20152Well, how did you doubt her?
20152Well, what about it? 20152 Well, what of it?"
20152Well,Bristow urged him on,"what happened?"
20152Well?
20152What about make- up?
20152What about the medicine?
20152What are the people here saying about Braceway''s bitterness against Morley? 20152 What are they?"
20152What are you after, though?
20152What are you talking about?
20152What are you talking about?
20152What did I do then?
20152What did Perry have to say? 20152 What did he do after he had looked back at you while he was going upstairs?"
20152What did he say?
20152What did he want?
20152What did the clerk see? 20152 What did you do after you saw the second man?"
20152What did you do that night? 20152 What did you do then?"
20152What did you do then?
20152What did you do then?
20152What did you get from Withers?
20152What did you hear?
20152What did you see? 20152 What did you think about his shaving off the beard at that time in the morning?"
20152What did, then?
20152What do we care about murder? 20152 What do you get from that?"
20152What do you make of it?
20152What do you make of it?
20152What do you make of that?
20152What do you make of that?
20152What do you make of that?
20152What do you mean? 20152 What do you mean?"
20152What do you mean?
20152What do you mean?
20152What do you mean?
20152What do you mean?
20152What do you mean?
20152What do you mean?
20152What do you think of that?
20152What do you think this hold was?
20152What do you think?
20152What do you want to do at six?
20152What does all this amount to anyway? 20152 What for?"
20152What for?
20152What happened after that?
20152What happened in Baltimore?
20152What have you been trying to do, Roddy?
20152What have you got, Avery?
20152What is it? 20152 What is it?"
20152What is it?
20152What is it?
20152What is it?
20152What kind of something?
20152What made you think of Morley and Withers?
20152What made you think that?
20152What makes you say that?
20152What makes you so positive of that?
20152What name-- under what name?
20152What next? 20152 What proof?"
20152What struggle?
20152What the devil does he mean?
20152What then?
20152What things?
20152What time did Delaney lose sight of Morley?
20152What time was that?
20152What time was that?
20152What time was that?
20152What waked you up?
20152What was he doing in the hotel? 20152 What was it about?"
20152What was it? 20152 What was it?"
20152What was it?
20152What was the result of that situation? 20152 What were Mrs. Withers''jewels worth?"
20152What were they?
20152What''s funny?
20152What''s her name?
20152What''s his idea about scandal, I wonder? 20152 What''s it all about?"
20152What''s that, Mattie?
20152What''s that?
20152What''s that?
20152What''s the matter with him?
20152What''s this''here''about?
20152What''s your guess about today?
20152What''s_ your_ idea? 20152 When did Withers leave Atlanta?"
20152When was that?
20152When?
20152When?
20152Where did she get it, then?
20152Where did the clerk get this?
20152Where did you get that?
20152Where did you get this?
20152Where did you go, then? 20152 Where did you go?"
20152Where did you watch from?
20152Where is she?
20152Where''s the doctor?
20152Where, then? 20152 Where?
20152Where?
20152Which button was that?
20152Who are they?
20152Who says I said that?
20152Who sent for the doctor?
20152Who was it? 20152 Who''s this Eidstein, a pawn broker?"
20152Who, boss? 20152 Whut''d he want offen you?"
20152Why ca n''t we get it tonight-- or tomorrow at the latest? 20152 Why did he add that?
20152Why did you have Miss Kelly look for it? 20152 Why did you refuse yesterday to tell me this; and why do you volunteer it now?"
20152Why did you send for me, Miss Fulton?
20152Why do n''t you go back with me? 20152 Why is it that most of the criminals are merely children?
20152Why me instead of your lawyer, Judge Rogers?
20152Why not today?
20152Why only a hundred?
20152Why waste mental energy on him? 20152 Why waste more time?"
20152Why wo n''t he, if he sees we''ve got the guilty man?
20152Why?
20152Why?
20152Why?
20152Why?
20152Why?
20152Why?
20152Why?
20152Will I see you again this afternoon?
20152Will she stick to what she says in this paper?
20152Will the test show whether it''s a white person''s skin or a nigger''s?
20152Will you be so kind as to take that back to Miss Fulton and ask her whether she recognizes it, whether she can identify it?
20152Wo n''t you sit down?
20152Yes,the other returned absent- mindedly;"why did n''t he?"
20152Yes-- what then?
20152Yes? 20152 Yes?"
20152You are?
20152You confessed to her, did you?
20152You did n''t hear what they said?
20152You do n''t mind seeing Miss Fulton?
20152You had no six or seven thousand dollars to give her for that purpose, as I understand it?
20152You heard absolutely nothing and saw nothing until you discovered your sister''s body at ten o''clock this morning?
20152You know you''re under arrest for embezzlement, do n''t you?
20152You mean a confession?
20152You mean blackmail?
20152You mean nobody expected you?
20152You mean the rubies?
20152You mean to say,put in Bristow,"that this sick girl was here all night and heard nothing?"
20152You mean you were suspicious of her-- jealous of her?
20152You saw him two months ago, then?
20152You saw the scratches on Mrs. Withers''hand, did n''t you?
20152You see what I mean? 20152 You see why he executed the trick?
20152You stick to your old theory, the negro''s guilt?
20152You still think that man is Morley?
20152You think he----?
20152You think you''ll follow Morley to Washington?
20152You want me to believe that, when you saw this man two blocks away at half- past one in the morning, you noticed he wore a beard? 20152 You''re a detective?"
20152You''re curious about that, are you? 20152 You''re not afraid our case wo n''t hold water, are you?"
20152You? 20152 5 and murder her? 20152 After that, what? 20152 Allen?
20152Although he, Bristow, had expressed to Greenleaf only last night his confidence in Withers''innocence, would it be wise to hold to such a belief?
20152Am I sure?
20152And another thing: have you ever had any lasting, distressing disagreements with her?"
20152And did Braceway know of it and keep it to himself?
20152And now she wanted to help Braceway, not Bristow?
20152And two months ago?
20152And why should he hurry back to Furmville?
20152And with what result?"
20152And yet, he thought, why dislike him?
20152And you were going to say-- what?"
20152And, as there''s no earthly chance of Withers having been implicated in the crime, why worry about it?
20152Anything else?"
20152Anything?"
20152Anyway, it certainly will nail him, wo n''t it?
20152Are we to lose all faith in blood?"
20152Are you going, too?"
20152Are you groping around here helplessly after all this time?
20152Big money in it, is n''t there?"
20152Braceway repeated the report to Bristow, eliciting the comment:"Is somebody trying to make fun of us-- or what is it?
20152Braceway?"
20152Braceway?"
20152Braceway?"
20152Bristow dismissed the question carelessly, but immediately flared up peevishly:"What''s getting into these fellows?
20152Bristow was astonished, but his voice was uncoloured by surprise when he inquired:"Are you sure of that?"
20152Bristow?"
20152But did he?
20152But how about dinner?"
20152But where?"
20152But, you do n''t feel anyways sure Perry''s the guilty man, do you?"
20152By the way, ca n''t you have somebody, your man Jenkins or some one as good as he is, go out on a real hunt for the fellow with the gold tooth?
20152By the way, how did it happen?
20152By the way, if I should need to do so, how can I persuade anybody that I have authority to ask questions, or to do anything else in this matter?"
20152By the way, sir, can you tell me where Mr. Withers is?"
20152By the way, you''ll be up here at four?"
20152CHAPTER XVIII WHAT''S BRACEWAY''S GAME?
20152Ca n''t you tell us where you went?"
20152Call Braceway off?
20152Can you do that?"
20152Captain Greenleaf?"
20152Come back here for me at four, will you?"
20152Come up here, will you?
20152Could he have been fool enough to pawn anything?
20152Could he have been mistaken, entirely wrong?
20152Could n''t he realize, without being told, that he might be charged with the murder at any moment?
20152Could n''t that man have been a negro-- the negro who is now held for the crime?
20152Could she make him out at all?"
20152Could you follow me and take a look at a man who''ll be with me there?"
20152Could you swear that it was n''t the illiterate talk of an uneducated negro?"
20152Could you swear that what you saw was not a rubber sole attached to a leather or canvass shoe?"
20152Could you tell me anything concerning it?"
20152Did he have rubber shoes?"
20152Did he meet anybody, or write anything?"
20152Did n''t you get close to his face?"
20152Did she tell you?"
20152Did that affect materially the case against Perry?
20152Did you ever''make up''with a beard?"
20152Did you find out anything?"
20152Did you hear any of the man''s words?
20152Did your man pick him up at the train?"
20152Do n''t you remember that Perry told you he was going to Mrs. Withers''house and steal her jewelry?"
20152Do n''t you think so?"
20152Do you mean to say you''re going to let him cram this into you?"
20152Do you see?"
20152Ef he ain''done tuk dat key fum me an''den later flung it back on de flo''uv my house, who did do it?"
20152Even if Morley has embezzled from the bank, how closely have I coupled him with the crime?
20152Fulton?"
20152Fulton?"
20152Got here on the eight o''clock train yesterday morning?"
20152Had Morley mailed it at once to himself, or somebody else, in Washington?
20152Had that been a prophecy?
20152Had you ever seen him before?"
20152Half- past five?"
20152Has n''t he assassinated, so far as he could, its good name?
20152Has n''t he tried to murder this bank?
20152Have you had any rest at all, today or yesterday?"
20152He came back and referred to Bristow''s offer of help:"For instance?"
20152He had found also that, if a man''s vocabulary is without a"perhaps"or a"but why could n''t it be the other way?"
20152He has n''t had a hemorrhage, has he?"
20152He look''at me kinder mad an''he said:''Whut you talkin''''bout, boy?
20152He put one more question:"Do you happen to know why she wishes to see me?"
20152He turned to Greenleaf:"Have n''t you had enough of this drool?
20152He was not certain, but when had George left Atlanta, ostensibly for Memphis?
20152He''s a good fellow, and all that, but-- what do you think?"
20152How about me?"
20152How about that?
20152How about the jewelry you pawned in Baltimore today?"
20152How did she do that?
20152How did you find this out?"
20152How do they compare with those on the list of Withers''stuff?"
20152How do you happen to be here?"
20152How does that strike you?"
20152How does that strike you?"
20152How was Morley hooked up with the hidden phase of the affair?
20152How will you send for it?"
20152How would it look to him?
20152How would the circumstances shape themselves?
20152How would you describe this fellow in addition to the fact that he wore the beard and the gold tooth?"
20152How-- how did it happen?"
20152I always relied on others-- do you see?
20152I really apologize, but may I ask what your relations with Miss Fulton are?"
20152I wish you''d mention that to her, will you?"
20152I''m not crazy, am I?
20152If disorganized rumour grew into positive accusation---- And what of himself, Bristow?
20152If there was n''t anything crooked about them, why should he hide himself?
20152If you should remember, if the association of ideas produces anything, I wonder if you''d wire me?"
20152Is n''t that all, chief?"
20152Is n''t that so?"
20152Is n''t there?"
20152Is that it?"
20152It is a go?"
20152It might be that the sister, Maria Fulton, in an excess of rage-- But why reason about that before he had talked to her?
20152Just what did he mean?"
20152Keene?"
20152Leave me now, wo n''t you?"
20152Me, boss?"
20152Mercy?
20152Morley sighed and put down his paper before he answered:"What is it?"
20152Morley?"
20152Morley?"
20152Morley?"
20152Now, Mr. Withers, what did you do yesterday, all day yesterday, after reaching here?"
20152Now, do you see?
20152Now, just one other thing: what did you think, what do you think, of Miss Fulton?"
20152Now, let me ask one more question: why, exactly are you following Morley?"
20152Now, tell me this: how did this fellow strike you?
20152Now, what are we to do?
20152Now, will you do it?"
20152Now, will you show me what he pawned two months ago, and three months ago?"
20152On the way back to the hotel, Bristow asked:"What about Withers''story of his struggle-- the''big, strong man''who flung him down the walk?"
20152Or did he go there in the hope of incriminating Morley further?
20152Or had that been Morley, after all?
20152Put somebody on the job of watching for the incoming trains from Baltimore, will you?
20152Remember, you''ll let me sleep?"
20152Remember?"
20152Right away?
20152Right away?"
20152Right now, Mistuh Bristow?"
20152S. Braceway,''Do you get that?"
20152Seeing that he knew nothing of his son- in- law''s disappearance, Bristow dropped the subject, and asked:"What is Miss Fulton''s belief now?
20152Shall I keep him on?"
20152She still thinks Morley is the man?"
20152Should he trust this man?
20152So, why worry?"
20152That suit you?"
20152That''s what is always given to tuberculars to prevent violent spells of coughing, is n''t it?"
20152The headlines read: FINDS NEW EVIDENCE ON WITHERS MURDER MORLEY GUILTY, OR-- WHO?
20152The idea uppermost in his mind was that the telegram had to do with Withers-- or could it be something about Morley?
20152The interrogator broke the silence at last:"Of course, Mr. Withers, there''s some good explanation for your secret trip to Furmville?"
20152The second: if Morley was n''t the bearded man, who was?"
20152The trip to the post- office-- did that explain the disappearance of the stolen jewelry?
20152Then Bristow inquired,"What''s the new thing you''ve dug up?"
20152Then, with sharp directness, he asked her:"Who do you think killed your sister?"
20152There flash into my mind links and links of thoughts until I have a chain leading to-- where?
20152There''s money in it, is n''t there?"
20152They''re gossiping, are they?
20152They''re saying that, are they?
20152This Morley, this wooer of Maria, seems to have his head within stinging range of the hornets, does n''t he?"
20152Twelve- fifteen?
20152Was Withers in Baltimore at two- thirty Friday afternoon?
20152Was n''t it found under his window?
20152Was n''t it too dark?"
20152Was the boy Roddy wide enough awake that night to have formed any real opinion as to the resemblance of the bearded man and Henry Morley?
20152Was the hinge working then?"
20152Was there a chance that, in condemning Withers, they would destroy his reputation for brilliant work?
20152Was there any reason, any logic, any mercy in that?
20152We''ll make the request, of course, that they watch the pawnshops and nab anybody who shows up with any of the Withers stuff?"
20152Well, what of it, even if Lucy were an albino and Perry had scratched her?
20152Were you asleep at all before midnight?"
20152Were you in it?"
20152What about Corning, the loan- shark in Virginia?"
20152What about Perry last Monday night?"
20152What about the struggle at the foot of the steps?"
20152What are you driving at?"
20152What are you planning?"
20152What becomes of the unassailable evidence against the negro?"
20152What can you tell us?"
20152What caused death?"
20152What could Abrahamson have meant by indicating a belief that the man with the gold tooth looked like George Withers?
20152What did this fellow do in the Maplewood Inn lobby?"
20152What did you see?"
20152What did you see?"
20152What did you think of him when he was in here pawning jewels and wearing a disguise?"
20152What did you think?
20152What do I care for public opinion, for gossip, for their leers and whispers?
20152What do his eyes bring up in my mind?
20152What do you do with the evidence against the negro?
20152What do you intend to do at the inquest tomorrow?
20152What do you know about it?"
20152What do you mean?"
20152What do you think of that?"
20152What do you think?"
20152What does the moustache remind me of?
20152What for?"
20152What is it?"
20152What made you suspect that it was gone?"
20152What more do I want?
20152What more do you want?"
20152What possible interest could they have in running him down, in ruining his standing?
20152What reports have you had on the mysterious man Withers says he saw, the fellow with the long- visored cap, long raincoat, and gold tooth?"
20152What then?"
20152What time is it now?
20152What was his story?"
20152What was in his voice that made me think I had seen him before?
20152What was it he was after without letting me in on it?
20152What was it, Miss Fulton?"
20152What was the matter with George anyhow?
20152What was-- what is your idea about that?"
20152What will we do?
20152What would be the result of circumstantial evidence?
20152What would be the result of it all-- the result for him?
20152What would you say?"
20152What''ll I tell him?"
20152What''s Braceway''s Game?
20152What''s it to us anyway?
20152What''s that to do with a conference here tonight?"
20152What''s the man trying to establish anyhow?
20152What''s the news?"
20152What''s their game-- to find the real murderer or to shut up a family scandal?"
20152What, then, they asked, was the true situation back of the pursuit and persecution of the bank clerk, Henry Morley?
20152When Bristow handed him the watch Maria Fulton had found, he said laughingly:"It''s a good thing George told me about it, is n''t it?
20152When can we get that report?"
20152When will he be here?"
20152Where are you now?
20152Where did he spend that last half- hour?
20152Where did she get the money to redeem them after the first pawning?"
20152Where did you see him?"
20152Where had George Withers been then?
20152Where has it all gone?
20152Where were you all the afternoon preceding the time you showed up at Eidstein''s?"
20152Where were you?"
20152Where''s Miss Hardesty now?"
20152Where?"
20152Who done drap it dar ef Perry ain''drapped it?
20152Who says you''re sick?
20152Who would ever have suspected that there had been in her life any foothold for tragedy?
20152Whose is it?"
20152Why do you ask me all these foolish little questions?"
20152Why had death singled_ her_ out?
20152Why had n''t he acknowledged the telegram of yesterday?
20152Why keep on fighting what I''ve proved?
20152Why not make certain of it at once?
20152Why should he say that when Abrahamson contradicts it at once by telling you they were at no time in the shop simultaneously?"
20152Why should n''t I make use of those years, develop a business in which I can engage while I''m here?
20152Why should n''t you?"
20152Why, then, continue this gossip, slander which besmirches Withers and is bound to attack your daughter''s name?"
20152Why, then, had some ignorant negro or some white man bent on robbery been permitted to steal up on her in the dead of night and crush out her life?
20152Why?
20152Why?
20152Why?"
20152Why?"
20152Will that answer?"
20152Will you clean Miss Fulton''s finger nails as soon as you can?
20152Will you do that for me carefully-- very carefully?
20152Will you give us a straight story?"
20152Will you go in to see him?"
20152Withers?"
20152Withers?"
20152Withers?"
20152Withers?"
20152Withers?"
20152Work with him?"
20152Would Braceway try to pick up a false scent, try to throw the whole thing out of gear?
20152Would n''t it be well for him to stay in Furmville another twenty- four hours?
20152Would n''t you say so?"
20152Would public opinion turn also against him and say he had enmeshed an innocent negro instead of bringing to punishment a jealousy- maddened husband?
20152You know about that part of the affair?"
20152You might sign it?
20152You remember Withers''description of him?"
20152You see?"
20152You see?"
20152You see?"
20152You''d gone back to sleep, had n''t you?"
20152You''d rather drive down, would n''t you?
20152You''ll see that he has everything he needs, wo n''t you?"
23489A box?
23489A collision?
23489A crocodile?
23489And Tartlet?
23489And can you see it with the telescope?
23489And for how long?
23489And how did you discover Phina Island?
23489And on what point of the terrestrial globe shall I first set foot?
23489And on what raging ocean has Mr. Kolderup decided that his vessel should bear his nephew and me?
23489And the breakers?
23489And the fire?
23489And the post?
23489And then, dearest Phina,said Godfrey,"you will not be afraid to pass a season there with me?"
23489And to fire it in a stated direction?
23489And what are you doing on board here?
23489And what is your name?
23489And when am I to start?
23489And when do you want to start?
23489And why not?
23489And why should I not hit him?
23489And why should they be cannibals?
23489And you did not attempt to come to us, to share our living?
23489And you will wait for him?
23489Are there any of our companions?
23489Are you listening?
23489Arneka?
23489Assuredly!--the journey?
23489Beyond that?
23489But Carefinotu?
23489But a village?
23489But if I can see their flag, can not they see mine? 23489 But if the food itself was missing, what would you say then, Tartlet?"
23489But on Sunday now, surely on Sunday, we might dress up a little?
23489But the canoe?
23489But the savages?
23489But what is it?
23489But what is it?
23489But will she be long before she comes back?
23489But you?
23489But, why is cooking necessary for bread and meat? 23489 But,"said William W. Kolderup at last,"you have not remained six months in the hold, I suppose?"
23489Can you imagine Robinson Crusoe taking lessons in dancing and deportment?
23489Carry? 23489 Did I not, during the battle, at more than a hundred paces, the very first time I handled a gun, hit one of the cannibals full in the chest?"
23489Do you hear the name? 23489 Do you know what the future may bring forth?"
23489Do you think I can do so without inconvenience?
23489Do you think so?
23489Does n''t it do?
23489Eh, Tartlet, what do you think of our natural house?
23489For two years?
23489From a ship?
23489Go away? 23489 Godfrey,"she asked,"would you like to remain on your island?"
23489Godfrey?
23489Godfrey?
23489Gone off?
23489Has the wind changed?
23489Have n''t you got a volcano?
23489Hey?--what?
23489How long ago?
23489How was it that during the preceding nights I did not feel this current of air? 23489 I am sorry; but tell me, which way did the launch go?"
23489I thought,continued the latter,"that you might feel a little regret at separating from your pupil?"
23489If that is his name,said Godfrey;"why should he not keep it?"
23489If the wind has not changed?
23489If there are no inhabitants on this land, are there any animals?
23489Is breakfast this morning to resemble dinner yesterday?
23489Is it not a boat from some merchant- ship?
23489Is it solid on its foundation?
23489Is this bad weather likely to last?
23489No insects?
23489No withdrawal?
23489Nobody speaks?
23489Not yet? 23489 Perhaps that is more urgent?"
23489Phina?
23489Shall we get the launch on board?
23489Shall we soon get there?
23489Sinking?
23489So that we might take you for nothing from America to China, on the other side of the Pacific?
23489Some animal taken refuge in the sequoia? 23489 Soon, Mr. Tartlet?
23489Supposing they go away when the daylight comes?
23489That is so? 23489 The date?"
23489Then none of the crew perished in the wreck?
23489Then the smoke?
23489These eggs, then?
23489This smoke,he said,"is it not of the same kind that I have already seen twice before?
23489We are going ahead then?
23489We?
23489Well, Godfrey, and the camas?
23489Well, captain, what news?
23489Well,he shouted as he perceived Godfrey some distance off--"and the telegraph office?"
23489What box? 23489 What date, if you please, uncle?"
23489What did you say?
23489What do you mean?
23489What ever made him stow himself away on board the_ Dream_?
23489What good should I have done?
23489What is that now?
23489What is that?
23489What is the good of it?
23489What is the good of that?
23489What is the matter?
23489What will become of us then?
23489What''s up?
23489What? 23489 Where are we then?"
23489Where are you now?
23489Where have you been, then?
23489Where is the captain?
23489Which the sea surrounds?
23489Who are you?
23489Who is to tell us?
23489Why not?
23489Why should Robinson Crusoe dispense with deportment? 23489 Why, a bear?
23489Will you guarantee that there are flats there?
23489Would you rather stay here?
23489Yes, but the chimney?
23489You know, Mr. Kolderup, where the animal came from?
23489You want to go away-- you?
23489You, Mr. Godfrey, you-- on the bridge?
23489A little burnt rag,"--and how do you burn the rag?
23489And from there what shall I see?--A town?--A village?--A desert?"
23489And had the steam launch remained at the stern of the steamer?
23489And how do they start on their research as to this new mode of alimentation?"
23489And how shall we make it?"
23489And how was the obstinate professor occupying himself?
23489And if it passed, would it come near enough for the signal thereon to be seen on board?
23489And now, why did the United States desire to part with the island?
23489And that fire could not have been lighted except by-- By whom?"
23489And what did they then see?
23489And who was this man?
23489Are we savages, that we should go about half naked?"
23489Besides, once his fancy had passed away, would not she be better disposed to sign the settlements?
23489But although Tartlet was motionless, was he dead?
23489But far far away, over the seas, is it not so?"
23489But how do you produce the stoppage without breaking the egg?
23489But how was he to force it?
23489But if the dinner was there, how were they to cook it?
23489But in default of survivors, had not the sea thrown up some of the corpses?
23489But since the air penetrates by this orifice the tree must be hollow along its whole length and only lives in its bark?
23489But then, Uncle Will, the wreck of the_ Dream_?"
23489But was it not rather to be feared that the launch had been dragged down by the ship under several fathoms of water?
23489But was it probable?
23489But was the rock isolated?
23489But what could he do?
23489But what was the good of returning to the past?
23489But what was this island?
23489But what was to be done?
23489But what way have we to avoid the danger who live inside the tree?
23489But what were these two?
23489But whence came these wild animals?
23489But who was the reckless individual who had dared to come to dollar strokes with William W. Kolderup of San Francisco?
23489But would this ship, this steamer, pass in sight of Phina Island?
23489Constantly and bitterly did Tartlet complain-- but how to satisfy the poor man?
23489Could anybody be found to work up the bidding?
23489Could he be mistaken?
23489Could he hope so?
23489Could it be possible that at the last second a higher bid would come?
23489Could it have been the lightning?"
23489Could not Godfrey find among the rocks, along to the utmost boundary of the surf, the inanimate bodies of some of his companions?
23489Could not a few passengers or sailors have saved themselves therein, and found time to flee from the wreck?
23489Dare any one raise his voice in answer to the voice of William W. Kolderup?
23489Did it command a line of breakers scattered on this portion of the sea?
23489Did it form part of an archipelago, or was it alone in this portion of the Pacific?
23489Do you eat those things?"
23489Finally, how many millions of leagues of observation and instruction were indispensable for the completion of the young man''s education?
23489From a steamer which passed here yesterday afternoon, in sight of our island?"
23489Had it been here ever since the wreck?
23489Had the wild beasts given up the attack which had cost the lives of so many amongst them?
23489Had they all been sucked in by the terrible whirlpool which the ship had drawn round herself as she sank?
23489He made but one observation,--"If you lose yourself, Godfrey?"
23489He made two or three steps and stopping with crossed arms before Godfrey, asked,--"Where do you want to go to?"
23489He said to himself that this was one of those iron tubes which had launched the thunder- bolt that had delivered him?
23489How are they to know that they have only to deal with a couple of shipwrecked men?
23489How could he wait till breakfast- time, the bell for which would perhaps never sound, without this preparatory repast?
23489How could they replace them?
23489How do you know that, Godfrey?"
23489How were they to escape them if they landed?
23489How were they to set about lighting a fire?
23489How would you get a light from that, I should like to know?
23489However, was it possible that no one had survived the wreck?
23489I came to ask--""What?"
23489If he had found no trace among the breakers, would he meet with any on the beach?
23489If he were not already satiated with a life of adventure, how could he be answered?
23489Is he to be allowed to call himself Carefinotu?"
23489Is it a village of fishermen, or the encampment of some indigenous tribe?"
23489It is put at eleven hundred thousand dollars, is there any one will bid?
23489It was evident that there would be no difficulty in catching these fish, but how to cook them?
23489Loaded with provisions, did he hope to get through, incognito, a passage of several weeks, and then to land on the coast of China without being seen?
23489No mistake?"
23489Not even in default of houses a cabin, a hut, an ajoupa, or a wigwam?
23489Now, what would you think?
23489Of all those on board the_ Dream_, was he the only one saved?
23489Or would not rather the semi- visible smoke disappear with the vessel towards the north- west or south- west of the horizon?
23489Perhaps he would find inside it some paper which would indicate the origin, or nationality, or name of the proprietor?
23489Perhaps this natatory clothing had kept him above water, while the surf had borne him to shore?
23489Shall I make signals, by raising it and lowering it a few times, so as to show that I want to enter into communication with them?
23489Should I conclude that savages have previously landed on the north and south of the island, and that the smoke came from fires lighted by them?
23489Stone walls with scarps and counterscarps, curtains and bastions, and ramparts, for what was the use of a shelter under a group of sequoias?
23489Supposing I killed him, was he the last representative of the plantigrades on the island?"
23489The question was, were there any more in the island, or had the bear and the tiger been-- a most improbable event-- the last of their species?
23489The reappearance of this fire, the presence of wild animals, did not all this denote some extraordinary complication?
23489There was no mistake, for at their approach did not a resounding cock- a- doodle- do- oo- oo rend the air like the sound of a trumpet?
23489This is as it was written?
23489To what geographical group did it belong?
23489To which continent did it belong?
23489Was Godfrey to go south, or east, or west?
23489Was he killed?
23489Was he likely to do otherwise?
23489Was he not at the age of that practical philosophy which consists in good health and good humour?
23489Was he then to conclude that the wind then fell, and that a calm set in after sundown?
23489Was he to learn a valuable lesson?
23489Was he wrong or right?
23489Was it a snake?
23489Was it even possible?
23489Was it for some whim?
23489Was it for the good of his wife that he had not been to China or Japan, not even to Europe?
23489Was it not rather all that remained of another and more recent catastrophe?
23489Was it one of the packages of the_ Dream_?
23489Was it then a sudden invasion of reptiles?
23489Was the enormous plantigrade hit by the bullet?
23489Was there any fear of the incoming tide soon reaching him?
23489Was this gentle vapour which the breeze softly blew towards the west a smoke?
23489We are only talking of current affairs, are we not?"
23489Were the sheep and the goats to provide them with skins for clothing, after furnishing them with flesh for food?
23489Were they waiting for the day to recommence the attempt under more favourable conditions?
23489What did the box contain?
23489What harm was there in a young man making the tour of the globe twice or thrice-- especially if he were an American?
23489What is it you say?"
23489What shall we say to that?"
23489What simple Polynesian savages commonly did, why should not the professor, so much their superior in his own opinion, be able to do?
23489What then were these masses which floated landwards, rising and falling with the undulations of the waves?
23489What was Godfrey to think after this series of inexplicable events?
23489What was he in the house?
23489What was the good of killing them?
23489What was the good of talking about it?
23489What was the use of doing so?
23489What was this coast which Captain Turcott had thought he saw in the darkness?
23489Where was the mysterious den which vomited forth lions, hyænas, panthers, tigers?
23489Where were the tea and sandwiches which had hitherto been brought to him when he awoke?
23489Who but himself could he blame for having got into a situation of which he could not even see the end?
23489Who else but he had already touched the shore, seeking a companion who was seeking him?
23489Who had given in?
23489Who knows whether we shall have any to- morrow?"
23489Who says an island?"
23489Who speaks first?
23489Who wants an island in perfect state of repair, never been used, an island in the Pacific, that ocean of oceans?
23489Why did not nature make us so that we might live upon nothing?"
23489Why should they have come to Phina Island for one night?"
23489Why should they have got so far from the bay since yesterday, and round so many miles of reef?
23489Why should they put into port more than she had done?
23489William W. Kolderup or Turcott?
23489Would he learn anything in the different adventures he would meet with in a voyage of any length?
23489Would it do him any good?
23489Would not the life become still more depressing when the winter season would oblige Godfrey and his companions to shut themselves up in Will Tree?
23489Would not the traveller in him absorb the professor of dancing and deportment?
23489Would some raft appear on the surface of the waves, some fragment of the_ Dream_, some survivor, perhaps?
23489Would the reserve price ever be reached?
23489Would this unexpected chance which had just escaped him ever offer again?
23489You are able to carry a gun, Tartlet?"
23489You are laughing at me, are you not?"
23489You, sir?--you, over there nodding your head like a porcelain mandarin?
23489You?"
23489_ page 181_]"A canoe?"
23489all of them?"
23489and why?"
23489as little harm!--and you stowed yourself away in the hold when we started?"
23489but do you understand it?"
23489but then Phina must have had an accomplice--"And Uncle Will turned towards Captain Turcott, who laughingly answered,--"What could I do, Mr. Kolderup?
23489but who will keep it in?"
23489exclaimed William W. Kolderup,"you consent to give your bird his liberty?"
23489exclaimed the uncle--"what does that matter?
23489not one of the men of the_ Dream_ carried to shore?
23489repeated the crier,"an island without a single noxious animal, no wild beasts, no reptiles!--""No birds?"
23489repeated the crier,"with prairies, hills, watercourses--""Warranted?"
23489said Godfrey,"the smoke is explained by the presence of Seng Vou; but the beasts?"
23489why could he not raise himself into the air by some balloon- like movement, and escape the eccentricities of that moving plane?
17197Always water near where there''s a mirage, is n''t there, Professor?
17197Am I going to be hung?
17197And the Arabs?
17197And the neighbourhood also?
17197And you, girls?
17197Any chance of any one getting at it?
17197Any chance of falling in with a caravan?
17197Any chance of getting out?
17197Any extradition papers?
17197Any mail for me, Professor?
17197Any more questions?
17197Any one here?
17197Any one see you go?
17197Any wild animals there, Professor?
17197Anything doing?
17197Anything for me, Laura?
17197Anything fresh to tell me?
17197Anything fresh?
17197Anything wrong with your eyesight?
17197Are they trying to take you on a warrant?
17197Are you faint?
17197Are you from Scotland Yard?
17197Are you from the New York police?
17197Are you going out?
17197Are you going to try and do him in?
17197Are you hurt, dear?
17197Are you the party who left Port Said for the Mongar Camp?
17197Are you there, James?... 17197 As tired as ever?"
17197Asleep?
17197At the courthouse, eh? 17197 Back to that house?"
17197Been at your games again, Long Jim?
17197Been to?
17197But how could it have got there?
17197But what,Lenora enquired,"is opotan?"
17197But when did you start, Laura?
17197But where must you go?
17197By- the- bye, when was that order for vegetables given?
17197Ca n''t any of you do something?
17197Ca n''t we have our little chat out here? 17197 Ca n''t you ask me what you want to, now, as we go along?"
17197Ca n''t you find me a bowl for these?
17197Ca n''t you see?
17197Ca n''t you see?
17197Can I go now?
17197Can you girls manage it?
17197Can you let us have the particulars of his escape, Lord Ashleigh? 17197 Can you make anything of it?"
17197Can you remember anything about the wreck, French?
17197Can you tell me if Miss Lenora Macdougal is staying here?
17197Can you tell me when this instrument was last used?... 17197 Can you think, by- the- bye, of any other motive for the theft besides scientific jealousy?"
17197Captain,he asked,"what shall you say if I tell you that I have proof that Craig is on board?"
17197Coming on shore, any of you?
17197Could anyone feel much sympathy,she asked,"with those men?
17197Could he have come from this house?
17197Could n''t we do that?
17197Craig guilty of those murders? 17197 Craig locked up in my garage?"
17197Craig? 17197 Craig?"
17197Did he follow your suggestion?
17197Did n''t the butler at Mrs. Rheinholdt''s say that Craig belonged to a servants''club up town? 17197 Did you find him?"
17197Did you people come out to see it?
17197Do n''t you find this collecting sometimes very hard work?
17197Do n''t you remember? 17197 Do n''t you see where it is leading us?
17197Do n''t you see?
17197Do you hear that, O''Toole?
17197Do you know where to?
17197Do you know,the Captain persisted,"that Mr. Quest and Mr. Harris have searched every nook and corner of the ship?
17197Do you mean it really?
17197Do you mind following me?
17197Do you suppose that fellow could have been watching?
17197Do you think that you can really spare him, daddy,she asked,"and that it will be necessary?"
17197Does n''t seem quite at his ease, does he?
17197Flies bothering you some, eh? 17197 French, what''s the time?"
17197From which hand?
17197Getting kind of used to these courthouse shows, are n''t you, Lenora?
17197Going to make a bonfire of me, eh?
17197Gone out, eh?
17197Got a warrant?
17197Got the horses all right?
17197Got the warrant?
17197Has he been with you long, this man Craig, Professor?
17197Has life been so terrible for you?
17197Have I, by any chance, slept?
17197Have I? 17197 Have n''t we seen enough?
17197Have you got your warrant?
17197Have you let him out already?
17197Have you lost them?
17197Have you said anything to Mr. Ashleigh, miss?
17197Have you seen the three o''clock edition, Professor?
17197He ai n''t been here at all, then?
17197He has n''t hurt you?
17197Here?
17197Hidden in a piano box?
17197How can he have been here?
17197How did you get him?
17197How do you know that she locked me in the garage?
17197How far are we from the Mongar Camp?
17197How long will he stay like that?
17197How long will it take?
17197How much farther is this place?
17197How the blazes did you guess that?
17197How''s that seem to you?
17197How''s that?
17197Hullo, you people?
17197I hear you declined to hand over a criminal who''s been sheltering on your ranch? 17197 I may go now, then?"
17197I see you agree with me, then, as to Craig''s probable destination?
17197I suppose there is a safe place somewhere?
17197I trust that I have done right in coming up?
17197I woke you up to ask you that question?
17197In the first place, then, Mr. Quest, will you kindly explain the condition of your clothes?
17197Is Lord Ashleigh a late riser?
17197Is Mrs. Willet in?
17197Is n''t it rather a risk?
17197Is n''t she here?
17197Is n''t that evidence?
17197Is n''t the_ Durham_ almost due now?
17197Is she hurt?
17197Is that Ross?
17197Is that anywhere near the south coast?
17197Is that the pocket wireless?
17197Is that you, Craig?
17197Is that your work?
17197Is there any one else in the house?
17197Is there anything further I can do for you, sir?
17197Is this another trick of yours?
17197It was n''t any of Jimmy''s lot?
17197It''s only three quarters of an hour''s ride, is it?
17197Kindly tell me what is the number of the telephone from which I am speaking, and who is the subscriber?
17197Know anything about this?
17197Know how to use this?
17197Laura, where''s the Professor?
17197Lenora is n''t with them,Laura declared anxiously,"and look-- what''s that?"
17197Lenora, where are you?
17197Let him go?
17197Looks like storming the fortress, eh?
17197Macdougal, George? 17197 Make anything of this, Lenora?"
17197May I come, too?
17197Mean, you fool?
17197Mr. French, you saw that man come down the rope and swing on to the cables? 17197 Mr. Quest,"he said,"can you spare me a moment?
17197Mr. Quest,she asked,"do you believe in inspiration?"
17197Mr. Quest,she murmured,"who do you suppose burned the hut down?"
17197Mr. Sanford Quest, sir?
17197Munich? 17197 Must we stay?"
17197My father wishes to know that you are satisfied?
17197Never to communicate or to have anything to do with any one of the name of Ashleigh, eh?
17197No news of Craig, then?
17197No news of Craig?
17197No river near, where they could have gone to water the camels, or anything of that sort, I suppose?
17197Not the great Sanford Quest? 17197 Nothing there?"
17197Nothing wrong, eh?
17197Now,he said,"what has become of your man Craig, and what has become of my assistant Lenora?"
17197Of your what?
17197On Saturday?
17197Our friend French,he remarked,"gave you no clue, I suppose, as to the direction in which his investigations are leading him?"
17197Perhaps you will explain what made you take it, then?
17197Perhaps,he suggested,"you would like to ask me a few questions?"
17197Professor,Quest asked,"how long would it take us to get to this Mongar village you spoke about?"
17197Professor,he began--"What''s that, Miles?"
17197Quest?
17197Quien sabe? 17197 Ready?"
17197Really?
17197Ross,he asked,"who else is here to- day besides you?"
17197Say, French,he exclaimed,"you don''t-- you do n''t suspect me of this?"
17197Say, Mr. Craig, you''re an authority on South America, are n''t you? 17197 Say, Professor, what''s the time by your watch?"
17197Say, boss,one of them called out,"you''re not making that eight- thirty train to New York?"
17197Say, ca n''t we keep those girls out?
17197Say, cookie,the latter went on,"where did you get them eyes?
17197Say, do you mean that he is a detective?
17197Say, do you mind picking that up?
17197Say, is there any quicker way to the depot?
17197Say, kid, is this yours?
17197Say, what about Quest?
17197Say, what are you folks looking for?
17197Say, what is this show?
17197Say, what''s all this mean?
17197Say, what''s wrong here?
17197Say, what''s your trouble?
17197Say, where''s Quest?
17197Say, where''s breakfast?
17197Say, where''s every one?
17197Say, who put that there?
17197Say, you ai n''t the river police?
17197See that bloke there?
17197See that bunch of girls on the right?
17197Seems to be rather reversing the positions, does n''t it?
17197Shall I say that an oak sideboard gives you five hundred dollars? 17197 Shall I wait for you, Miss Lenora?"
17197Sit down and listen to me for a moment, will you?
17197So they''ve got him, eh? 17197 So you are the man who has given us all this trouble, eh?
17197So you will not dance any longer with José?
17197So you''re the young lady,he remarked, touching his cap,"who thinks that I come to sea with criminals stowed away on my ship?"
17197So you''ve deceived me, have you?
17197Some coffee, Inspector?
17197Some years ago,the Professor continued,"I bought this house and made a present of it to--""To whom?"
17197Soon run you to earth, eh?
17197Still, there is n''t a breath of wind, is there?
17197Stolen again?
17197Surely,the Professor suggested,"your innocence will very soon be established?"
17197Taking some interest in Mr. Quest, kid, ai n''t you?
17197Talking to her?
17197Tell me again,he begged,"the name of the avenue in which this residence is situated?"
17197Tell me some more about this great master?
17197Tell me the place?
17197Tell me where every one''s gone to, ca n''t you?
17197Tell me where?
17197Tell me,he enquired,"is this the young lady who owned the wonderful Ashleigh diamonds?"
17197Tell me,he enquired,"who is the man at a table by himself?
17197Tell us all about it? 17197 Tell us at once what you know?"
17197That so, Mr. Quest? 17197 That so?"
17197That so?
17197That will be your hat and coat upon the bed there, wo n''t it?
17197That''s all right,Quest replied,"but how am I to get hold of him?"
17197The Ashleigh diamonds, eh?
17197The end of our struggle, I presume?
17197The guy with the linen collar?
17197The name,he admitted finally, as they moved towards the door,"suggests to me, I must confess-- We are going to see the house, Inspector?"
17197The young lady who shut Craig up in the garage, you mean? 17197 Then perhaps you can tell me what has become of her?"
17197Then perhaps you will tell me,Quest suggested,"where he is now, and why he has gone away?
17197Then what''s become of the child?
17197Then will you tell me this?
17197There are no other instructions, sir?
17197There could never be any one else in the world like you two-- and please may I go to the looking- glass?
17197They are n''t quite wild enough to allow that here, are they?
17197Think we''d better turn round and try and bisect one of the trade routes?
17197This place is all right, eh?
17197This yours, Quest?
17197To what else? 17197 Trying to get my goat again, eh?"
17197Understand what?
17197Want to see me, young lady?
17197Want water?
17197Was it a faint?
17197Was n''t it rather late for you to go out?
17197We are on our way there now, sir-- that is, if the young ladies are willing?
17197Well now, what about your more extended search?
17197Well, Dixon?
17197Well, girls,he said,"both full of adventures, eh?
17197Well, my boy, what are you doing here?
17197Well, young lady,he said,"have you thought of something I can do?"
17197Well, young people, not quarrelling, I hope?
17197Well,he remarked,"you are rather an egoist, Professor, are n''t you?"
17197Well?
17197Well?
17197Well?
17197Well?
17197Well?
17197Well?
17197Well?
17197Well?
17197Were they after you?
17197What I want to know is,she demanded,"who brought the thing here?"
17197What about Craig?
17197What about Craig?
17197What about a game of bezique?
17197What about him?
17197What about it?
17197What about that unhappy man Craig?
17197What about the ownership of the house?
17197What about the young woman?
17197What about us?
17197What about you, Lenora?
17197What about your young lady assistant?
17197What are they going to do to you, these people?
17197What are they? 17197 What are we going to do?"
17197What are you getting at, Quest?
17197What are you getting at, kid?
17197What are you hanging about there for, Red Gallagher? 17197 What can that be?"
17197What did you call him? 17197 What did you call those men in the motor- truck, Professor-- river pirates?
17197What do I want to go to New York for?
17197What do all these marks mean?
17197What do you make of this, Professor?
17197What do you mean, Williams?
17197What do you mean, mother?
17197What do you mean?
17197What do you mean?
17197What do you mean?
17197What do you mean?
17197What do you propose to do with me?
17197What do you say?
17197What do you think you can do there?
17197What do you want out of that, Professor?
17197What do you want with me?
17197What do you want?
17197What do you want?
17197What do you want?
17197What does it mean?
17197What door handle?
17197What doors are there on the side?
17197What for?
17197What hands?
17197What has happened to you? 17197 What has happened?
17197What have you got there?
17197What is he going to do?
17197What is it you wish to do?
17197What is it, Laura?
17197What is it, Quest?
17197What is it?
17197What is it?
17197What is it?
17197What is it?
17197What is it?
17197What is it?
17197What is the thing?
17197What is this?
17197What next? 17197 What on earth is this?"
17197What pseudonym shall I adopt?
17197What reason do you suggest, then, for her disappearance?
17197What sort of fellows are they, any way?
17197What the devil does he mean?
17197What the dickens did you look in for?
17197What the hell did you want to plug him for?
17197What the mischief was that?
17197What the mischief-- have we turned round? 17197 What time did she go?"
17197What time''s breakfast?
17197What was she saying, Professor?
17197What was the steamer?
17197What''s got hold of you, Lenora?
17197What''s happened?
17197What''s in your mind now?
17197What''s that in your hand?
17197What''s that?
17197What''s that?
17197What''s the bloke wanted for?
17197What''s this?
17197What''s wrong, Jim?
17197What''s wrong?
17197Whatever can they be talking about?
17197When can we start?
17197When does she sail?
17197Where am I?
17197Where are the camels?
17197Where are the others?
17197Where are they?
17197Where are we going?
17197Where are we?
17197Where are you off to, young lady?
17197Where are you, Lenora?
17197Where did this aunt live?
17197Where did you get it?
17197Where did you get the bouillon you served-- that last cup especially?
17197Where did you leave the young lady?
17197Where does the_ Barton_ start from?
17197Where from?
17197Where is he?
17197Where is the man who came down before me?
17197Where is the valet-- Williams?
17197Where is your automobile?
17197Where on earth have you been to?
17197Where on earth have you been, Craig?
17197Where to?
17197Where were you at eleven- fifteen?
17197Where''s Brown?
17197Where''s Laura,he asked,"and the Inspector?"
17197Where''s Long Jim?
17197Where''s that Chinaman?
17197Where''s the house?
17197Where''s the_ Durham_?
17197Where? 17197 Who are we,"the Professor asked drearily,"to make plans against a fiend like that?
17197Who are you, anyway?
17197Who are you?
17197Who cares about that?
17197Who cares? 17197 Who discovered her?"
17197Who knows?
17197Who''s he?
17197Who''s inside there?
17197Who''s this? 17197 Why do n''t you obey the lady?"
17197Why do you seek death here?
17197Why not downstairs?
17197Why not now?
17197Why not tackle the Chief yourself?
17197Why not?
17197Why not?
17197Why not?
17197Why on earth could n''t you say so?
17197Why should I think of the secret passage? 17197 Why this animus against me, my friend Macdougal?"
17197Why, you mean in Hartoo''s sleeping box, then?
17197Why?
17197Will it be safe for us to push on alone?
17197Will you come inside?
17197Will you forgive an old man''s question?
17197Will you risk it?
17197Will you tell the man to drive to Mr. Quest''s house in Georgia Square?
17197Will you?
17197Within a hundred yards of this house? 17197 Wo n''t you talk to us for a little time?"
17197Wo n''t you want me?
17197You agree with me that it is impossible for any one to remain hidden in this ship?
17197You agree with me there, do n''t you, Lenora?
17197You are going to send me down first?
17197You are not going to pretend that you can see from your room into this, are you?
17197You are not going to try that horrible thing on me-- Professor Lord Ashleigh? 17197 You are not suggesting that that is possible, I suppose?"
17197You are sure your ladyship does n''t mind being left?
17197You believe me?
17197You came out?
17197You can enter me,he added, as he held open the door for her,"as a friend-- or would you prefer a pseudonym?"
17197You could not even say whether your jailer were man or woman?
17197You did n''t go to Scotland Yard?
17197You do n''t for a moment connect Mrs. Foston Rowe''s death with the criminal you are in search of?
17197You do n''t have any-- what we call the White Slave Traffic-- over here, do you?
17197You do n''t mind?
17197You do n''t think the jewels have been stolen again?
17197You fancied what?
17197You had left the hotel, I understand, at the time when the crime occurred?
17197You have friends, then, Macdougal, who will avenge you, eh?
17197You have heard of Sir William Raysmore, the President of the Royal Society?
17197You have n''t found him?
17197You have n''t heard from her, then, since she went out yesterday afternoon?
17197You have n''t heard of Sanford Quest?
17197You have no further wants?
17197You hear what Miss Lenora says? 17197 You hear what this man says?"
17197You hear, gentlemen?
17197You heard nothing?
17197You know what they said, those two, as they passed out?
17197You lost, people?
17197You may be candid,Lenora replied,"but you are n''t very polite, are you?"
17197You mean that he may have been mad?
17197You mean that you escaped?
17197You mean that you''ve let him go?
17197You mean,Laura exclaimed,"that we''ve got to tramp into what you call the jungle, and hide there because these thieves are being chased?"
17197You never heard, for instance, the rustling of a gown or the sound of a footstep?
17197You saw no one?
17197You see what I am doing? 17197 You see where Long Jim''s put the cross?
17197You think it would be out of the question, then,Quest asked,"to associate him with the crime?"
17197You think we could get away?
17197You understand now, do n''t you?
17197You will at least admit that I have shown you fine sport?
17197You would leave me?
17197You would like to have a chance of cutting the rope, would n''t you, when I was half way down?
17197You would tie me here?
17197You''ll excuse my waiting? 17197 You''re not sorry, mother?"
17197You''re perfectly certain that he is not in this house or anywhere upon the premises?
17197You''re the lady whose name is on this piece of paper?
17197You''ve found Lenora, then, Inspector?
17197You''ve left her there since yesterday afternoon? 17197 Your ape is stolen?"
17197Your last little effort, Craig?
17197A fine race they seem to have been, until--""Until when?"
17197Ai n''t that right, boys?"
17197Any news, Craig?"
17197Any news, dear?"
17197Any one there?"
17197Anything to say?"
17197Are you coming quietly?"
17197Are you safe?
17197As a matter of fact, how do you know that that young woman has been abducted at all?
17197As an expert in these affairs, Mr. Quest, does it not seem to you that her imprisonment was just a little purposeless?
17197As for Craig, well, you see that tree that looks like a dwarfed aloe?"
17197Ashleigh?"
17197Between whom?
17197Bland still cure our hams, Julia?"
17197Boys,"he added, turning around,"what''s the best exercise for reducing flesh?"
17197But who are you, and where did you come from?"
17197But you know-- that you have been to sleep?"
17197But, Mr. Quest,"she went on piteously,"ca n''t we do something?
17197But, before we go any farther, tell me about Craig?"
17197Ca n''t you see I am dying to hear?
17197Can you come round here at once and bring an automobile?
17197Can you see anything underneath that tree?"
17197Can you tell what for, eh?
17197Could you hear nothing of the footsteps of the person who brought it?
17197Could you never see the hand which placed it inside your room?
17197Could you not even surmise whether it was a man or a woman?"
17197Cunning?
17197Did Craig get away?"
17197Did Craig''s demeanour during your conversation seem to you to indicate the master criminal?
17197Did he seem to you to be possessed of supreme courage, of marvellous intelligence?"
17197Did you notice his servant-- that man Craig?"
17197Did you say that Lenora was at Hampstead yesterday afternoon and they told her my address?"
17197Do n''t you keep any gardeners?"
17197Do n''t you remember me, eh?
17197Do you feel like having me start in right away, on our way to the cars?"
17197Do you hear?
17197Do you hear?"
17197Do you know how far we are from the Mexican border?"
17197Do you know that his people have been servants in the Ashleigh family for some hundreds of years?"
17197Do you know that when I went to the door a few minutes ago, the Professor''s servant, Craig, was there, listening?"
17197Do you suppose it was the usual sort of trouble?"
17197Does any one that you know of use this means of exit?"
17197First of all, where is the Professor?"
17197Going to tell me, I suppose, that it was n''t Craig I saw board this steamer?"
17197Got any relatives over there?"
17197Got anything handy in the way of firearms?"
17197Had it rested in some ledge, or fallen into the street below?
17197Handcuffs?
17197Hands without any arms?"
17197Has Craig told you where I am?
17197Have I been ringing anyone up on the telephone?"
17197Have I not told you never to leave the place without orders?"
17197Have they let you out already, then?"
17197Have you kept to our bargain, Professor?"
17197Have you the jewels?...
17197Her ladyship back yet, Moreton?"
17197How are you getting on with the code?"
17197How did I get out of the stream?"
17197How do you feel about quitting this bunch right away and coming back to New York with me?"
17197How does the arrest of these two men help you?"
17197How''s that?"
17197How?
17197However, where''s the lady who was robbed?"
17197Hullo, Inspector?"
17197I ask you whether a man who even knew the meaning of the word fear could have carried out these ghastly crimes?"
17197I believe you said, dear,"he added, turning to his wife,"that we were dining alone to- night?"
17197I hope that my suggestion pleases you?"
17197I suppose this is n''t a dream, is it, Laura?"
17197I suppose you people are all real?
17197I understand you''ve got him all right now, though?"
17197I wonder whether you would mind stepping up and giving him your advice?"
17197I''ll see to that part of the business, if you others get ready and wait for me to give the signal.... What''s that?"
17197I''m through, am I?...
17197Inspector French,"one of them demanded,"what''s wrong with John Chinaman?
17197Is Craig really on board?
17197Is Miss Laura accompanying you, too?"
17197Is he a millionaire, or a judge, or what?"
17197Is he really dead?"
17197Is it money you want?"
17197Is n''t Mr. Quest a wonderful man?"
17197Is that your name?"
17197Is there no clue, Mr. Quest-- no clue at all?"
17197It is a little wonderful, is n''t it, to have a gift, a real gift, and to know it?
17197It is n''t a gigantic joke?"
17197Kind of overslept, have n''t you?"
17197Ladies and gentlemen, will you clear the room now, if you please?
17197Later on in the evening, Professor,"she added, watching some very important newcomers,"you will tell me all about your anthropoid ape, wo n''t you?
17197Laura,"he added, as his secretary entered,"will you look after this young lady?
17197Lenora, how should you like a trip across the ocean, eh?"
17197Lenora, is that calendar right?"
17197Marsham?"
17197May I know your name?"
17197May I, too, be permitted?"
17197My dear Mr. Quest, you little know--""Where is he, then?"
17197No further enquiries?"
17197No hard feeling, I hope?"
17197Not you, by any chance, is it, Lenora?"
17197Now tell me quickly-- I want to know everything, but this first of all.--Where did you find the skeleton?
17197Now tell me what you are going to do about his arrest?"
17197Or a Chippendale sofa?
17197Or,"he added, his eyes resting for a moment upon the little box,"a black box?"
17197Paris?"
17197Perhaps, Mr. Sheriff, you would n''t mind escorting your prisoners around to headquarters?
17197Please come and sit down, tell us where you are going to shoot, and whether you''ve had any letters this morning?"
17197Professor, what about you?"
17197Quest, will you and the Inspector bring him in?
17197Quest?"
17197Quest?"
17197Quest?"
17197Quest?"
17197Quest?"
17197Quest?"
17197Quest?"
17197Quest?"
17197Quest?"
17197Quest?"
17197Quest?"
17197Quest?"
17197Red Gallagher?
17197Red Gallagher?"
17197Rheinholdt?"
17197Say, French, where did you say that was found?"
17197Say, Professor, has your compass got the jim- jams?"
17197Say, what''s that?"
17197See what I''m driving at?"
17197Shall I arrest?"
17197She must be somewhere--""Lenora?"
17197She''s the star.... You see the old fellow with the girl, just in a line behind?
17197So you''re a''going to civilise us, eh?
17197Tell me-- don''t keep me in suspense, if you please-- you have discovered my skeleton?"
17197Tell me-- help me a little with my story-- have you read that page from the_ Medical Journal_ which Craig has kept locked up all these years?"
17197That does not look like complete innocence, does it?"
17197That''s Dudley Worth, the multi- millionaire, and at the next table there is Mrs. Atkinson-- you remember her divorce case?"
17197That''s right, ai n''t it?"
17197That''s right, is n''t it, Inspector?"
17197The man here asks if the ladies will take the horses and ride?"
17197The sum and substance of it all, however, is that for the first year of your musical training he advises-- where do you think?"
17197The thing is, what did Lenora do?
17197Then all of a sudden there spring up these evidences of the most amazing, the most diabolical resource.... Who''s this, Lord Ashleigh?"
17197Then it was n''t stolen by one of my rivals?"
17197There''s nothing wrong with Craig, is there?"
17197This description suggest anything to you, gentlemen?"
17197Under which one of those thousands of roofs was she being concealed?
17197Was it possible that harm was intended to her?
17197Was it really he whom Miss Laura here saw?
17197Was it true, she wondered, that she did not like the man?
17197Was she going to sleep?...
17197Well?"
17197Were his people just domestic servants always?"
17197Were those charming friends of yours from Bethel being tried, Quest?"
17197What about a stroll, Miss Laura, just up to the ridge?"
17197What are you working on this morning, Laura?"
17197What can we do against men who have revolving staircases and trolley- loads of river pirates waiting for them?
17197What characteristic strikes you most forcibly in connection with it?
17197What class did he come from then?
17197What could they do?"
17197What did they do with you in the Tombs, Laura?"
17197What do I mean?
17197What do you see there?"
17197What do you suppose that means?"
17197What do you think about it, Professor?"
17197What do you think of my ape?"
17197What do you think of that?"
17197What does this mean-- a lifebuoy?"
17197What else do you suppose he was out there listening for?"
17197What has become of them?"
17197What is it, I wonder?
17197What the mischief are you hanging about for, Brown?"
17197What was the reason for this continued silence?
17197What''s that?
17197What''s that?
17197What''s that?"
17197What''s that?"
17197What''s the Oriental been doing, eh?"
17197What''s the next move, anyway?"
17197When are you returning?
17197When?...
17197Where exactly did you find it?"
17197Where shall I find a telephone?"
17197Where the devil are you, Ross?"
17197Where''s that journal?"
17197Where''s the Professor?"
17197Where''s this precious uncle of yours?"
17197Where?...
17197Who are these people?"
17197Who was it entered the room, Lenora?
17197Who was the thief?"
17197Whose box is this?"
17197Why do n''t you make up your mind to it?
17197Why do n''t you take him on right away?
17197Why do you hesitate?"
17197Why do you not stand up and be a man?
17197Why not begin at the beginning?"
17197Why not give it up?
17197Why should you brood over these memories?
17197Why, however will you spare him?"
17197Why--... What are you looking at?
17197Will this mean discovery?"
17197Will you allow me to write just a matter of twenty lines at your desk?"
17197Will you have your men search the house and grounds immediately?"
17197Will you open it, Miss Laura?"
17197Will you tell me that, Mr. Sanford Quest?"
17197Willet?"
17197Would n''t you like to take him with you?"
17197Would you like to know what I am telling her?"
17197You are in earnest about this, are n''t you?
17197You are not very old, are you?
17197You are sure the house has been closely watched, Inspector?"
17197You are talking about the skeleton of the ape which you brought home from South America, and which you have presented to the museum here?"
17197You did n''t happen to notice the way he looked at you once or twice, did you?"
17197You do n''t allow that sort of thing, do you, here?"
17197You have heard the news, of course?"
17197You know my claim?
17197You may remember my brother-- Professor Ashleigh-- as a man of science, Quest?
17197You see all these bullrushes everywhere-- clouds of them, all along the river?"
17197You see that hand- car house?"
17197You see these oak trees?"
17197You see what is written on it?
17197You understand?
17197You will bring the young ladies?"
17197You will use your best efforts, you will spare no expense?
17197You''ll ring when you''re ready, Miss Mary?"
17197You''re a fine pitcher, ai n''t you?
17197You''re my mate, Jim, eh?"
17197You''ve left her there all night?"
17197my God, what next?"
10067''Is that the cabinet?'' 10067 ''Prove''is rather a strong word, is n''t it?"
10067''What''s all this, Rogers?'' 10067 A Frenchman?"
10067A contrast in manners, was it not, gentlemen?
10067A great risk?
10067A look?
10067A man of the law, like yourself?
10067About the woman? 10067 Above all, who wields it?"
10067Afraid to?
10067After all, it is merely a guess, is n''t it?
10067Already going? 10067 And all the rest?"
10067And closed again after Vantine opened it?
10067And do you know what we shall find in that drawer, Lester? 10067 And he accomplished all this by means of a confederate in the employ of the Armands?"
10067And he did n''t come out into the hall while you were there?
10067And how about Vantine?
10067And in trying to get those letters, he was killed?
10067And it is in your possession?
10067And killed in the same way?
10067And left the letters in it?
10067And none has been discovered?
10067And on his last trip to Europe, from which he returned only a few days ago, he purchased of Armand& Son, of Paris, a Boule cabinet?
10067And paid fifteen thousand francs for it?
10067And that leaves us all at sea, does n''t it? 10067 And the laugh-- did you hear that laugh?"
10067And the other end?
10067And you do n''t think Vantine did?
10067And you have n''t any idea where the other man got out?
10067And you really think he will walk into it?
10067And you were not able to do that?
10067And you''re going to keep it so?
10067And, above all, Godfrey, why should this fellow hide himself in Vantine''s house and kill two men? 10067 Another man?"
10067Another?
10067Anything new?
10067Anyway, you will help me, Lester? 10067 Are n''t there some wooden shutters for these windows?"
10067Are n''t you going to try to capture him? 10067 Are you acting for Armand& Son?"
10067Are you serious?
10067Armand''s man has n''t called yet?
10067As for the dead man, what can it matter to him?
10067At what time?
10067Besides,I protested,"how would he get in?
10067But how about Armand?
10067But if he knew they were imitations,I protested,"why should he go to all that trouble to steal them?"
10067But is n''t it a beauty, Lester? 10067 But what kind?"
10067But what made you suspect that the two women were the same?
10067But what makes you think she killed Vantine?
10067But what sort of devilish instrument is it?
10067But what was his object? 10067 But who is he?"
10067But why did Armand lie there so quietly?
10067But why should a man with brains be a criminal?
10067But why?
10067But you are, of course, aware that no poison exists which would act so quickly?
10067But you did not know of the Boule cabinet and of the secret drawer?
10067But you, personally, have been attending to his business?
10067But, Godfrey, who is this man?
10067But, Godfrey,I broke in,"how about this other fellow-- the man with the burning eyes?
10067But,I questioned,"what act of treachery was it that Armand feared?"
10067By Monsieur X.?
10067By accident? 10067 By poison?"
10067Ca n''t you give us a closer description?
10067Can we find a box of safe- deposit at this hour of the night?
10067Can you explain that to me, too?
10067Can you make a guess as to the nature of the poison?
10067Could n''t make out? 10067 Could you come down to the house right away, sir?"
10067Dead? 10067 Dead?"
10067Did I have a fit?
10067Did I understand that you said Mr. Vantine is dead?
10067Did M. Armand happen to mention where he is staying?
10067Did Mr. Vantine know him?
10067Did Parks come in?
10067Did any reporter for the_ Record_ ever find a case that_ was_ usual?
10067Did anybody come in?
10067Did he see you look at him?
10067Did n''t you blush for America?
10067Did n''t you see that fellow this afternoon?
10067Did you just happen to think of this in the middle of the night?
10067Did you know her?
10067Did you look through the rooms?
10067Did you ring, sir?
10067Did you see anything of his face?
10067Did you see his eyes as he lay there watching the man at the cabinet?
10067Did you take a look at the windows?
10067Did you warn them?
10067Disproved? 10067 Do n''t you know nothing about it?"
10067Do you know her?
10067Do you know the provisions of the will?
10067Do you know this man?
10067Do you know who he is, Godfrey?
10067Do you mean that this cabinet is connected with them in any way?
10067Do you mean that you do? 10067 Do you mean to say it was n''t Piggott?"
10067Do you mean to say that you and Rogers went away and left this stranger here by himself?
10067Do you mean to say,Godfrey demanded sternly,"that that is not the woman who called on Mr. Vantine to- night?"
10067Do you remember anything about it?
10067Do you think I could be mistaken in such a matter, sir? 10067 Does any one besides your client know of the existence of these letters?"
10067Does the alarm work now?
10067Everything quiet?
10067Feel better?
10067Found? 10067 Godfrey,"I said,"are you still bent on fooling with that thing?"
10067Godfrey,I whispered,"whose voice was it-- or did I dream it--something about a woman?"
10067Going on, sir?
10067Had she ever been here before?
10067Has anyone sent for a doctor?
10067Has no other explanation been found for the death of Mr. Vantine and of this stranger?
10067Have you any further questions to ask her?
10067Have you any theory about it?
10067Have you anything to tell us, this evening, Rogers?
10067Have you arranged to start on that vacation Thursday?
10067Have you ever learned that he had an enemy?
10067Have you examined it?
10067Have you found out who he is?
10067Have you got Croshar too?
10067He left a will, I suppose?
10067He was a collector of old furniture, I believe?
10067He was never married, I believe?
10067He was your lover?
10067He''s a good sport, is n''t he?
10067He''s dead, then?
10067Hello,I said,"so you''re able to be up, are you?"
10067Help move it, sir?
10067His best girl?
10067How about the odour?
10067How are you feeling to- day, Lester?
10067How did you know that-- or is it merely hot air?
10067How do you keep it up, Godfrey?
10067How do you know it''s certain?
10067How do you know that?
10067How do you know you will?
10067How high is the hole?
10067How is Rogers?
10067How is that?
10067How long a time elapsed after Parks announced the man before you and Mr. Vantine came downstairs?
10067How long have you known him, Parks?
10067How many conferences have we had in this room? 10067 How was she dressed?"
10067How would he know it?
10067I am now free to open the drawer?
10067I shall be at the Hotel Astor, and shall be glad to see you-- shall we say at eleven o''clock? 10067 I suppose you found some new things while you were away?"
10067I understand you would n''t let Simmonds telephone for me last night?
10067I will not conceal from you that we had already thought of him-- as what dealer does not when he acquires something rare and beautiful? 10067 I wonder what its contents have been from the days of Madame de Montespan down to the present?
10067If he can earn an honest living, why should he be dishonest?
10067If he did n''t kill them, who did?
10067If your theory about it has been exploded, what''s the use of hanging on to it?
10067In Paris?
10067In the light of those provisions, do you know of any one who would have an interest in Vantine''s death?
10067Inserted at the hand?
10067Is everything all right?
10067Is it also true that no direct evidence could be found against him?
10067Is it on again, now?
10067Is it the right one, madame?
10067Is it working?
10067Is n''t she immense?
10067Is that you, Lester?
10067It is n''t yours?
10067It looks that way, does n''t it?
10067It may be,said Godfrey, at last,"that d''Aurelle was going it alone-- that he had broken with the gang--""The gang?"
10067It seems absurd, does n''t it? 10067 It was n''t a snake bite?"
10067It''s a beauty, is n''t it?
10067It''s a great sight, is n''t it?
10067It''s easy to find explanations, is n''t it?
10067It''s like old times, is n''t it, Lester?
10067It''s pretty bad, is n''t it? 10067 It_ was_ a mistake, then?"
10067Kill a man?
10067Last night?
10067Lock it up?
10067Look here, Godfrey,I said,"if it was n''t poison, what was it?"
10067Mr. Lester,he began,"I understand that you are the administrator of the estate of the late Philip Vantine?"
10067Mr. Simmonds had a little valise with him-- did you notice it?
10067My dear Lester,Godfrey protested,"when you attack a poisonous snake, you do n''t do it with bare hands, do you?"
10067No hurry,Grady assured him, and then, when his breath was coming easier,"What did you do then?"
10067No,said Godfrey,"all this is just incidental-- you began the discussion yourself, did n''t you?
10067Not connected with this affair?
10067Nothing can save a man, then?
10067Now, gentlemen,he went on,"what is it that I can do for you?"
10067Of course,he suggested gently,"as soon as you reached home you related to your mistress what had occurred?"
10067On the same spot?
10067On what grounds?
10067Parks,I said,"is it true that there is a burglar- alarm on all the windows?"
10067Parks,he went on sternly, as that worthy appeared at the door,"what has been going on in here?"
10067Perhaps you will be so kind as to have a steward take my card to him?
10067See here, Lester,Vantine demanded,"if he did n''t kill himself, what happened to him?"
10067See it?
10067Shall I attend to it?
10067Shall I call a cab, sir?
10067Shall I call the police, madame?
10067Shall I come, too?
10067Shall I show him out, sir?
10067She can go some, ca n''t she? 10067 She was French, was she?"
10067Simmonds,I said, seriously,"does Godfrey know about this?"
10067So he got away with it, did he?
10067So that it is mine now?
10067So that''s true, is it?
10067So you are perfectly sure that no one either entered or left the house by the front door while you and Rogers were sitting there?
10067So you can give us no hint as to this woman''s identity?
10067Take a swallow of this,he said, and Rogers obeyed mechanically, still staring at him over the rim of the glass,"How do you feel?"
10067Tell me, Lester,and he looked at me earnestly,"do you think that poor devil came in here just to get a chance to kill himself quietly?"
10067Tell me, Lester,he said,"do you believe that theory of Godfrey''s--that that insignificant wound on the hand caused death?"
10067That seems rather foolish, does n''t it?
10067That seems to put a puncture in our little romance, does n''t it?
10067That was the last roll, was n''t it?
10067The burglar- alarm?
10067The confession was made to yourself alone, of course?
10067The moment of his triumph?
10067The secret drawer has been found...."_ Comment?_he cried, his voice sharp with surprise.
10067The siege?
10067The woman was n''t here?
10067Then Mr. Vantine''s cabinet is still in Paris?
10067Then he''s not a criminal?
10067Then he''s not dead?
10067Then how did you know Vantine was dead? 10067 Then the drawer is not guarded by poison?"
10067Then what did he come in for?
10067Then what was it?
10067Then why did n''t it work when I opened those windows just now?
10067Then you did n''t get my message?
10067Then you do n''t believe it was by accident that cabinet was sent to Vantine?
10067Then you knew about it?
10067Then you mean that you_ do_ know who she was?
10067Then you see it, too?
10067Then you still believe in the poisoned mechanism?
10067Then you still believe that the cabinet was sent to Vantine by design and not by accident?
10067Then you_ do_ believe it?
10067There''d be no objection to that, would there?
10067Think of what?
10067This is all so wonderful-- so thrilling-- will you not tell us more? 10067 This is all true, I suppose?"
10067This woman is in New York?
10067To its owner?
10067To whom?
10067Unimportant?
10067Warn them of what?
10067Was he ever, to your knowledge, involved with a woman?
10067Was he hurt?
10067Was he injured?
10067Was it Armand,I asked, turning back into the room,"who lay there in the corner?"
10067Was it to tell me that you got me over here?
10067We''d better give him his instructions about the reporters, first thing, had n''t we, Lester?
10067Well, Mr. Lester,he said, as he struck a match,"what do you think of these Frenchmen, anyway?"
10067Well, Mr. Lester,he said,"so you want to see this cabinet?"
10067Well, Parks,I said, as we stepped inside,"everything is all right, I hope?"
10067Well, and then what happened?
10067Well, what about it?
10067Well, what is it?
10067Well, why not?
10067Well,asked Godfrey, looking at him,"do you think you deserve any?"
10067Well?
10067Well?
10067Well?
10067Were n''t they uncrated in the customs?
10067What I should like to know,he said, after a moment,"is this: if this fellow took poison, what did he take it out of?
10067What about him?
10067What about?
10067What are you going to do about it?
10067What did you do then?
10067What do you mean by that, Godfrey?
10067What do you mean by that?
10067What do you mean by that?
10067What do you mean by''counterpart?''
10067What do you mean?
10067What do you say about the cabinet?
10067What do you think of that?
10067What does he care for risks? 10067 What does he want?"
10067What has Catherine de Medici to do with it?
10067What is her name and address?
10067What is it you want me to do?
10067What is it, Godfrey?
10067What is it, Julie?
10067What is it, Lester?
10067What is it, then?
10067What is it?
10067What is it?
10067What is its value?
10067What is the conclusion?
10067What is the room yonder used for?
10067What killed him, then?
10067What kind of a fool do you think I am?
10067What made you think he was excited?
10067What makes you think that?
10067What name?
10067What sent me off?
10067What time do you expect him to- morrow?
10067What was his name?
10067What was his name?
10067What was it?
10067What was the woman''s connection with the man Drouet?
10067What''s the matter with Goldberger? 10067 What''s the matter with this house, anyway?"
10067What''s the matter, Lester?
10067What''s the reason he wo n''t?
10067What?
10067What_ did_ he want?
10067What_ does_ it mean?
10067What_ was_ the contents of the drawer?
10067Where am I?
10067Where are you going now?
10067Where did it come from?
10067Where did you get it?
10067Where is Armand?
10067Where is he-- Piggott? 10067 Where is the cabinet which Mr. Vantine did buy?"
10067Where shall I meet you?
10067Where were the other servants?
10067Where''s Kelly?
10067Where''s that man Godfrey?
10067Which one of''em found Vantine''s body?
10067Which reporters?
10067Which room is the cabinet in?
10067Who did then?
10067Who else could it be?
10067Who in hell do you think you are?
10067Who is Rogers?
10067Who is he? 10067 Who is he?"
10067Who said he killed them?
10067Why ca n''t we ambush him?
10067Why did he kill that poor fellow up there? 10067 Why did n''t he offer a reward for their return?"
10067Why else would there be a snap- lock on the outside of the door? 10067 Why not leave it where it is?"
10067Why not? 10067 Why not?"
10067Why not?
10067Why not?
10067Why?
10067Will you need any help?
10067Will you need me?
10067Will you show me how it is operated, Mr. Lester? 10067 With him twenty minutes in the lead?
10067With the cabinet?
10067Wo n''t try to sell them?
10067Would you recognise the man, if you were to meet him again?
10067Yes, sir?
10067Yes,I agreed;"and now how about Vantine?"
10067Yes,I said,"I know; but we''re all up a tree, are n''t we?"
10067Yes,I said;"and then?"
10067Yes-- help change the position of any of it since this afternoon?
10067You are going ashore to- night?
10067You are sure?
10067You did n''t hear anything-- no sound of a struggle?
10067You did not know?
10067You did not, by any chance, know him?
10067You did?
10067You do n''t think so now, then?
10067You do n''t? 10067 You do n''t?
10067You do not even know who this stranger was?
10067You had a telegram from me?
10067You had bought one, then?
10067You have been his attorney for some time?
10067You have n''t come in here at midnight to tell me that, I hope?
10067You have not identified him?
10067You knew this man?
10067You know who he is, then?
10067You mean he did n''t kill them?
10067You mean he has been killed in this house?
10067You mean he''d kill us?
10067You mean one of his mistresses?
10067You mean that a mistake had been made in the shipment?
10067You mean they both suicided in that abnormal way?
10067You mean you did n''t let the woman out?
10067You mean you''re going to have this cabinet, whatever the cost?
10067You mean you''re willing to give a hundred thousand dollars for this cabinet?
10067You meant, I suppose, that such a poison did, at one time, exist there?
10067You really think Crochard will try for it Wednesday?
10067You say you did n''t search these rooms?
10067You say you have a photograph?
10067You say you never saw the woman before?
10067You still think it was her photograph he carried in his watch?
10067You will have to turn the cabinet over to him, of course?
10067You''re in charge of this case, are n''t you? 10067 You''re still at the Marathon?"
10067You''re sure of that?
10067You''ve been working on it, of course?
10067You''ve seen their representative, then?
10067You, of course, have personal knowledge of all this?
10067Your friend-- I think you mentioned his name?
10067''Who is this party?''
10067Above all, did she succeed in getting away with the contents of the drawer?"
10067Agreed?"
10067Am I right so far?"
10067And Crochard?
10067And could that aged Frenchman with the white, fine, wrinkled skin be also the bronzed and virile personage whom I had known as Félix Armand?
10067And do you see how it is depressed in the middle, Lester?"
10067And now,"he added, with a gesture toward the glittering heaps,"what shall we do with all this?"
10067And you know nothing of this Frenchman?"
10067Are you coming?"
10067Are you going to let him get away?"
10067At any rate, you agree with me that both men were killed in some such way as I have described?"
10067But by whom and for what purpose?
10067But how did he explain the blunder, Lester?"
10067But how did it happen that it was Vantine who was killed?
10067But meanwhile, how would you like a whiff of salt air this evening?"
10067But who was she?
10067But you did know, of course, that Crochard would seek a market for the diamonds here in America?"
10067But you do n''t expect to stay there forever, do you, Lester?"
10067But you say that the drawer was found and that there was no poison?
10067But, Godfrey,"I added,"when did_ La Bretagne_ sail?"
10067But, in the first place, if the Frenchman got the drawer open, who closed it?"
10067Can you come up to the house and lunch with me to- day?"
10067Can you suggest an explanation?"
10067Could Godfrey be right?
10067Could any man be normal who was willing to pay a hundred thousand dollars for a piece of furniture?
10067Did he propose to leave that priceless cabinet in this dingy quarter?
10067Did he refund it to you?"
10067Did n''t Armand leave a note for you the day he failed to see you?"
10067Did n''t you ever see a dead man before?"
10067Did the woman, warned by the fate of the man, deliberately set Vantine to open the drawer in order that she might run no risk?
10067Did they surprise him while he was working over the cabinet?"
10067Did you discover Madame de Montespan''s monogram?"
10067Did you ever see that person before?"
10067Did you, by any chance, mention me to the gentleman known to you as M. Félix Armand?"
10067Do n''t you think the ribbon would look well in your button- hole?"
10067Do n''t you wish this drawer could tell its secrets, Lester?"
10067Do you agree?"
10067Do you know Rogers''s story?"
10067Do you know anything of the history of that cabinet, Monsieur Armand?"
10067Do you know what that means, Lester?"
10067Do you know where he wrote that letter, Lester?
10067Do you mean to say you know what it is all about?"
10067Do you suppose for an instant that Armand was ignorant of his presence in that house?
10067Do you suppose he would be deceived?
10067Do you suppose he would have been able to take Armand prisoner if Armand had not been willing that he should?"
10067Do you think I ought to hold on to the cabinet a while longer?
10067Does Mr. Vantine need me?"
10067Does he seek to remove me?
10067Does he think those letters are still in it?"
10067Especially a man who could not afford such extravagance?
10067For instance, how did he know about those letters?"
10067For the jewels?"
10067For what were these three men searching?
10067From what ambush did she strike?
10067Godfrey-- where was Godfrey?
10067Godfrey?"
10067Godfrey?"
10067Godfrey?"
10067Goldberger?"
10067Got your pistol, Parks?"
10067Had I any excuse for being present?
10067Have you arranged for that vacation?"
10067Have you noticed his size, Godfrey?
10067He did n''t swallow that too, did he?"
10067He got away with the jewels, of course?"
10067He got away, did n''t he?"
10067He has heard all the evidence, but does he know who that woman was?"
10067How did Crochard get into it?
10067How did he get into the Vantine house?
10067How did he know which roll of cotton contained that Mazarin diamond?
10067How did it happen, when the veiled lady went to Armand& Son in Paris, that she was directed to Philip Vantine?
10067How did our friend Grady get along?"
10067How did she happen to come to you?"
10067How does it happen that each of the victims is struck on the right hand?
10067How had Drouet and Vantine been killed?
10067How had she escaped?
10067How many of your cigars have I made away with?"
10067How was it done?
10067How was it done?"
10067How was she able to strike so surely?
10067How was that poison administered?
10067How will I get it?"
10067How would he get away?
10067I ask you, sir, is that the way a lady would behave?"
10067I dare say you''re used to this sort of thing--""Finding dead men lying around?"
10067I had a theory....""Yes?"
10067I hope that you agree with me that that was the right thing to do?"
10067I just wanted to ask you-- did you help move any of the furniture in the room yonder?"
10067I knew Godfrey, so I waited patiently until the cigar was going nicely, then--"Well?"
10067I knew that he would come to- day....""You knew that he would come to- day?"
10067I presume you found out that you were mistaken?"
10067I suppose I can rely on them?"
10067I suppose it is still at the station?"
10067I suppose we shall have to call the police, Lester?"
10067I suppose you think this fellow was murdered?
10067I wonder if you understand how great a genius?
10067I wonder who she is?
10067I''ve had enough excitement for the time being-- haven''t you?"
10067If we had captured him, do you suppose Armand''s secret would have been safe for an instant?
10067In a word, what was all this mystery about?
10067In what manner was such a wound made?"
10067In what way?"
10067Is it all right, sir?"
10067Is it true that the theft of the Michaelovitch diamonds was planned by Crochard?"
10067Is that right, Lester?"
10067Is there a message I can give him?"
10067Is there any foundation for talk of that kind?"
10067It might be just as well to get that cot out of the way and have all the lights going?"
10067Know anything about''em?"
10067Lester?"
10067Lester?"
10067Lester?"
10067Lester?"
10067Lester?"
10067Lester?"
10067Look at the arabesques along the front-- can you imagine anything more graceful?
10067Must we compel a man to betray his master?
10067Must we probe that secret?
10067Now-- what has happened?"
10067Or was he merely piecing together the whole story from such fragments as he knew?
10067Or was neither Pigot?
10067Or was she also ignorant of the mechanism?
10067Or was the man who had opened the cabinet Pigot?
10067Perhaps it would be better if I called for you?"
10067Pigot?"
10067Rather fierce, are n''t they?"
10067Shall I get them?"
10067Shall I get you something?"
10067Shall a woman not be loved?
10067Since they were not taken, it follows, does n''t it, that he was killed before he had a chance at the drawer?
10067So why should I warn any one?
10067So you''re back again?"
10067Some intuition told me that; and yet, how had Crochard managed to substitute himself for the French detective?
10067Suppose Grady should refuse to see me?
10067That tells the whole story, does n''t it?
10067That this would soon be accomplished not a single paper doubted, for had not Grady, the mighty Grady, taken personal charge of the case?
10067That will be satisfactory, moosseer?"
10067The facts seem to point to suicide; but if he swallowed prussic acid, where''s the bottle?
10067The secret drawer has been found?"
10067Then again, how did he know so certainly just how the mechanism worked?
10067Then what does this mean?"
10067There is no hope of finding him here in New York?"
10067They went back on_ La Bretagne_, I suppose?"
10067This your bag?
10067Understand?"
10067Vantine?"
10067Vantine?"
10067Vantine?"
10067Vantine?"
10067Was Vantine quite normal, I wondered?
10067Was he daring a contest with him?
10067Was he lying somewhere in a crumpled heap, with a tiny wound upon his hand?
10067Was he on the track of Crochard?
10067Was he trying to evade the duty?"
10067Was it poison killed him, sir?"
10067Was it possible that this could be a different man than the one who had opened the cabinet?
10067Was the drawer empty?"
10067Was this Pigot?
10067We''re all in the dark, Lester; have you thought of that?
10067Well, what follows?"
10067Were you to meet him here?"
10067What boat is that, captain?"
10067What could Armand be doing in this part of the town, I asked myself?
10067What could the Grand Duke do?
10067What did he do with Pigot?
10067What do you mean, Parks?"
10067What do you mean?"
10067What do_ you_ think, Simmonds?"
10067What is he doing here?"
10067What is it all about?"
10067What is it, Parks?"
10067What is it?"
10067What is there about that Boule cabinet which makes this unknown willing to do murder for it?
10067What secret was safe, I asked myself, from this astonishing man?
10067What time was it he got to Vantine''s?"
10067What ugly skeleton was to be dragged from its closet?
10067What was about to happen there?
10067What was he after, if he left the letters behind?"
10067What was he doing in here?"
10067What was he doing in this house?"
10067What was he doing there against the wall?
10067What was the intrigue, of which it seemed to be the centre?
10067What was the secret of the cabinet?
10067What was the sensation M. Pigot had up his sleeve?
10067What was the use of arguing with a man like that?
10067What''s the matter with you, anyhow?
10067What''s up?"
10067What_ is_ that story?"
10067When will it be convenient for you to go with us?"
10067Where did you get that photograph?"
10067Where had she concealed herself?
10067Where shall we put the body, sir?"
10067Where was Pigot?
10067Where was her hiding- place?
10067Where would madame get another maid such as I?
10067Where''s Rogers?"
10067Where''s the paper, or bottle, or whatever it was?"
10067Where_ is_ Pigot?"
10067Who does it happen to be, Lester?"
10067Who had helped Vantine place it there, I wondered?
10067Who had told me that?
10067Who is this fellow, anyway, Godfrey?
10067Who or what killed him?
10067Who was that bearded giant who was killed?
10067Who was this man, that Godfrey should consider him so formidable?
10067Who was this man?
10067Who''s that?"
10067Who, I wondered, had bought the Mazarin?
10067Why did he kill Drouet and Vantine?
10067Why did n''t he also know about the poison?"
10067Why did n''t you try to help him?"
10067Why had they been killed?
10067Why not the left hand?
10067Why should he have chosen Philip Vantine for a victim?
10067Why the hand at all?"
10067Why was Drouet killed?
10067Why were they exchanged?
10067Will that suit you?"
10067Will you be at home to- night, Lester?"
10067Will you come along?"
10067Working too hard?"
10067Would you know this woman if you saw her again?"
10067Yes?
10067You did n''t call me out of bed to tell me that, I hope?"
10067You do n''t see that this house was to be entered to- night?
10067You knew this man?"
10067You permit me?"
10067You remember he said he would come to- day?"
10067You say that he was found dead in a room at his house?"
10067You will come?"
10067You wo n''t get anything out of either of us to- night-- eh, Moosseer Piggott?"
10067You, no doubt, have a theory in regard to the death of these men?"
10067_ Billets- doux_ from the great Louis to the Montespan, perhaps?"
10067he said,"do n''t you understand, even yet?
10067shouted Grady, his face purple,"coming in here like this?
22996All here?
22996All of them?
22996And how do you like Colby Hall?
22996And is that the nearest place?
22996And what about Clearwater Hall?
22996And what about those goats?
22996And where are the goats?
22996And you liked Ruth''s father, too, did n''t you, before this quarrel took place?
22996And you liked Ruth''s mother, too, did n''t you?
22996And you really feel that you would like to be on good terms with him?
22996Anybody else?
22996Are n''t your feet wet?
22996Are you going to send the Stevensons a letter?
22996Are you hurt? 22996 Are you quite sure you do n''t want to mention any names, Rover?"
22996Are you sure they are in a safe place?
22996Are you sure you know the way to the island?
22996As many as that?
22996Baxter did not assist in bringing them into the Hall?
22996Beats a meal in the mess- room at the Hall all hollow, does n''t it?
22996But do n''t you think you ought to at least listen to what Ruth''s father has to say? 22996 But you were not alone, Rover?"
22996By the way, Mr. Stevenson,said Jack curiously,"do you know a Mr. Frederic Stevenson?"
22996By the way, do you think Spouter knows more about what Slugger and Nappy intend to do than he told?
22996Can you point out the general direction of his place?
22996Can you tell us at all how far we really are from some sort of shelter-- I mean the nearest shelter at hand?
22996Come here to do as you please while I''m away, eh?
22996Did anybody see you making off with the goats?
22996Did he say you could stay out as late as this?
22996Did he tell you that?
22996Did n''t you get a deed to the island?
22996Did n''t you say you lived on Snowshoe Island?
22996Did somebody flood your floor and then freeze it?
22996Did they undress the animals before they let them go?
22996Did those young rascals have it?
22996Did you buy the island as far back as that?
22996Did you ever ask a lawyer about this?
22996Did you get his number, Fatty?
22996Did you have any idea they might be up here?
22996Did you light any matches while you were upstairs in the gymnasium?
22996Did you receive an anonymous communication?
22996Do n''t you know it is an hour after that time now, Rover?
22996Do n''t you know those two men?
22996Do n''t you know you might have killed Barney Stevenson?
22996Do n''t you remember what he said about taking up his residence on the island after his wife died? 22996 Do n''t you say a word about this, do you understand?
22996Do n''t you think it''s a bad thing to warn them off with a gun?
22996Do n''t you think we ought to let Colonel Colby know about this?
22996Do n''t you think you ought to be punished for what you have done?
22996Do n''t you want to wait until after dinner?
22996Do you dare to threaten us?
22996Do you do any lumbering there?
22996Do you know these boys?
22996Do you know where the nearest house is located?
22996Do you mean the whole happening in Professor Lemm''s room?
22996Do you mean we could stay there all night?
22996Do you suppose this started from the heating plant?
22996Do you think Andy and Randy would like to go, too?
22996Do you think Asa Lemm and those others will be back to- day?
22996Do you think I could send him home to have him stuffed?
22996Do you think any of them will come back?
22996Do you think it will be enough?
22996Do you want to be killed, Andy?
22996Excuse me, but this is Miss Ruth Stevenson, I believe?
22996For instance, we might take the goats into the Hall and up to Professor Lemm''s room, eh?
22996Get his number? 22996 Going down to that brook where you saw the mink?"
22996Going to talk to him about Ruth and her folks?
22996Had any luck hunting?
22996Hark to that, will you?
22996Have you any idea how this fire started?
22996He''s real charitable and kind, is n''t he?
22996How about going to that other cabin at the south end of the island?
22996How about it-- is the coast clear?
22996How about it? 22996 How about it?"
22996How about the storm?
22996How about you? 22996 How dare you boys attack me?"
22996How dare you do it?
22996How did the accident happen, if I may ask?
22996How do I know how many bones I''ve got in my body? 22996 How do you know the holiday is going to be extra long?"
22996How do you know? 22996 How far have we got to go?"
22996How in the world is a fellow going to do an example in algebra with you singing about good times on the old plantation?
22996How long is it since you heard from Mr. Brown and Professor Lemm?
22996How many of you threw at me?
22996How much further to that shelter?
22996How soon do you suppose we can play this joke?
22996How-- er-- did you get here?
22996Hunting, eh?
22996I come over here and ask an ordinary question in history----"How do we know it''s an ordinary question in history?
22996I do n''t believe there are any bears on that island, are there?
22996I do n''t suppose we can be of any assistance down there?
22996I mean, some place where those rascals ca n''t get at them?
22996I suppose you will look after the girls?
22996I wonder if Barney Stevenson will be at the station to meet us?
22996I wonder if that is Slugger''s father with him?
22996I wonder if we ca n''t get up a sleighing party for Saturday afternoon and take out some of the girls from Clearwater Hall?
22996I wonder what that was?
22996If I tell you will you promise not to give me away?
22996Is he a farmer?
22996Is it about last night''s affair, Cod?
22996Is n''t the building on fire?
22996Is that a cave?
22996Is the building on fire?
22996Is the coast still clear?
22996Is there any chance of that wolf coming back?
22996It is n''t a fire, is it?
22996Jack, if they should come back to Colby Hall, wo n''t you be afraid that they will try to do something more to get you into trouble?
22996Just look at my left ear, will you?
22996Just look at that wall of snow, will you?
22996Let me have a hand in it, wo n''t you?
22996Look at that, will you? 22996 Look at those footprints further on, will you?
22996May I ask who you are?
22996Much hurt?
22996My box? 22996 Now that we''ve got possession of the goats, how do you fellows expect to work this stunt?"
22996Now what do you suppose that is?
22996Now you know what you promised?
22996Now, how did that come here? 22996 Oh, Jack, had n''t we better head for the shore?"
22996Oh, we''ll give them plenty of chances to make good if it is in them; wo n''t we?
22996Please, teacher, ca n''t we act like ladies?
22996Say, fellows, do you remember when we came up to the school, how we fell in with Asa Lemm?
22996Say, fellows, why wo n''t some of you let me get a word in edgeways?
22996Shall we eat the game to- day?
22996So here you are, eh?
22996So that''s their game, is it?
22996So this is Jack Rover, eh?
22996So we''ve got you, have we?
22996So you were all in it, eh?
22996Some hunters around here, or lumbermen?
22996Something on your mind, eh?
22996Suppose we call the liveryman up on the''phone and see what he has to say, and then call up the girls?
22996That''s bringing this matter pretty close to us, is n''t it?
22996The Rovers, eh? 22996 The question is, how can we do it without getting mixed up in it ourselves?"
22996Then it is zinc ore, is it?
22996Then you really like it, do you, boys?
22996Then, if you''ve got those deeds, why do they bother you?
22996There is certainly something coming to Slugger, Nappy and Codfish, is n''t there?
22996They are all out, are n''t they?
22996They were smoking?
22996To pull the bobsled?
22996Uncle Barney, are you sure you know the way?
22996Uncle Barney,he said, catching the old man by the shoulder,"you let me manage this for you, will you?"
22996Wa-- wa-- what does this mean?
22996Want any of us to go with you?
22996Want me to go back for it?
22996Want me to go with you?
22996Well, where do I come in?
22996Well, you would n''t expect any of us to grow shorter, would you?
22996Were you going in, too? 22996 Wha-- what does this mean?"
22996Wha-- what? 22996 What about your legs?
22996What am I going to do?
22996What are they?
22996What are you doing here? 22996 What are you doing here?"
22996What are you fellows going to do with yours?
22996What can we do to help him?
22996What did they do?
22996What did they say to you before I came?
22996What did you do with the bundle?
22996What do you bet it is n''t old Stevenson?
22996What do you fellows think we ought to do?
22996What do you know about that, boys?
22996What do you know about that?
22996What do you know about this? 22996 What do you mean, Jack?
22996What do you mean? 22996 What do you mean?"
22996What do you propose doing?
22996What do you suppose this means-- calling Jack and Walt down to the colonel''s office?
22996What do you think he''ll do?
22996What do you think we ought to do?
22996What do you think will be the easiest way of getting to the other end of the island?
22996What do you think, Mary?
22996What do you want?
22996What have you go up your sleeve, Andy?
22996What is it?
22996What is that man''s name, if I may ask?
22996What is that?
22996What is the meaning of this?
22996What is there about that cave that makes it so important?
22996What is this you are saying, Garrison?
22996What is this you just said about Brown and Martell?
22996What news?
22996What shall we sing?
22996What was that question? 22996 What were they smoking, Rover?"
22996What will you do with him?
22996What''s going on up here?
22996What''s that for?
22996What''s that? 22996 What''s the bell ringing for?"
22996What''s the matter with smashing it off with a rock?
22996What''s the matter with using one of our flashlights?
22996What''s the matter-- is somebody getting killed?
22996What''s the matter?
22996What''s this talk about taking O''Toole''s goats to Colby Hall?
22996What''s this? 22996 What''s this?
22996What''s wrong now?
22996What?
22996When do you expect him back?
22996Where are the goats now?
22996Where are you?
22996Where have you fellows been?
22996Where is Barney Stevenson?
22996Where is the fire?
22996Where''s my gun?
22996Who are the men who want to take the island away from you?
22996Who are the two, and what do you know?
22996Who gave you the right to come to this island?
22996Who is going to write the notes?
22996Who is there?
22996Who takes third place?
22996Who told you that?
22996Who was it? 22996 Who was with you in this escapade?"
22996Who were they?
22996Why ca n''t we do it?
22996Why ca n''t we leave our skates here until we come back?
22996Why ca n''t we take turns in carrying him, either on our backs or on a litter?
22996Why can not we take possession of these two cabins at once?
22996Why do n''t you ask Ruth about it some time?
22996Why do n''t you get your sister Martha to come to Clearwater Hall?
22996Why do n''t you return the goats to O''Toole while you are at it?
22996Why does he want to locate a cave on this island?
22996Why does n''t he want to hear from your father? 22996 Why does n''t your father send him a letter if he wo n''t listen to his talk?"
22996Why should those men be so anxious to obtain possession of an island like this? 22996 Why wo n''t you let me see those deeds?"
22996Why, what has happened?
22996Will you fellows come down again? 22996 Will you promise not to give me away?"
22996Will you?
22996Wo n''t you go out hunting with us?
22996Would you dare to shoot at them?
22996Would you have played such a trick as this upon any of the other professors?
22996Yes, and why not have your sister Mary come too?
22996You can walk on it, ca n''t you?
22996You got me clear of the fallen tree, did you?
22996You mean that cave your father once spoke about?
22996You say the Rovers did not wish to report the matter?
22996You think the ice is thick enough for any ordinary crowd?
22996You think you''re smart, do n''t you?
22996You two are quite sure that you were not smoking yourselves?
22996A wolf?"
22996Am I right?"
22996And then, as the professor undid the bundle, he continued:"Is that your clothing?"
22996Are you badly hurt?"
22996Are you going to stay at home during all of the holidays?"
22996But do you want to go to the Point or to Colby Hall?"
22996But what makes you ask that question?"
22996By the way, do n''t you remember Ruth?"

22996CHAPTER VI DEEP IN THE WOODS"What do you suppose was the reason that old lumberman did n''t want to hear Mr. Stevenson''s name mentioned?"

22996Can the water pipes have burst and flooded the room?"
22996Can you move them at all?"
22996Can you use your left arm?"
22996Did you ever see such striking out in your life?"
22996Did you find my box?"
22996Do n''t you see them over there?
22996Do you care to say who was mixed up in this affair?"
22996Do you understand?"
22996Do you understand?"
22996Getting used to breaking your neck?"
22996Have you been asleep?"
22996How about it?"
22996How did it happen?"
22996How did they get here?"
22996I guess you know that?"
22996Is he a friend of yours?"
22996Jack, you time''em, will you?"
22996Left the Hall for good?"
22996Now, do you think those cadets ought to defend themselves by telling Colonel Colby all they know?
22996So you''ve got here at last, eh?"
22996What do you boys think of it?"
22996What do you mean, Rover?"
22996What do you think of it?"
22996What does this mean?
22996What more could a fellow want?"
22996What shall we do?"
22996What''s happened?"
22996Where have you been?"
22996Where is Colonel Colby?
22996Who are you, anyway?"
22996Who of you can tell me the names of the fifth, tenth, and fifteenth presidents of our country?"
22996Who was the first laundryman in Chicago?"
22996Who would want a stuffed wolf around anyhow?
22996Why ca n''t we strike off into the woods yonder and come in on the other side of Haven Point?"
22996Why did n''t you tell me this before?"
22996Why do n''t you sing about good times in the classroom when Asa Lemm is there?"
22996Will you tell me how many were mixed up in this affair?"
22996You do n''t mind, do you?"
22996You say there is ice on the floor of your room?"
22996are you going to let them take possession?"
22996are you here?"
22996do you dare to threaten me?"
22996do you really think Slugger and Nappy and that little Codfish set the gymnasium on fire?"
22996do you suppose old Lemon will really have them locked up?"
22996do you think he is hurt?"
22996do you think we''re going to stay out in this cold?"
22996has that boy gone crazy?"
22996if you are so sure that Mr. Stevenson is in the wrong, why do n''t you go to law about it?"
22996to me?"
22996what are you talking about?"
22996what do you mean by skating so quick?"
22996what do you mean by such proceedings?"
22996what shall we do?"
22996what''s that?"
22996what''s the matter with the Rover boys?"
22996what''s the meaning of this?"
22996what''s the use of your throwing cold water on this camp meeting?"
22996where are we going?"
22996who''s there?"
22996why did n''t we think of that?"
22996why do n''t you let up?"
22996will you let us go if my dad gives up his claim to the island?"
22996will you?"
22996you do n''t expect them to shoot bears, do you?"
22996you do n''t suppose he''s smitten with her?
22996you think you''ve got the best of us with those guns, do n''t you?"
14853''Has Fergusson ever been asked if his master received any visitors on the day of the murder or during the preceding week? 14853 A somewhat unusual tradition in Scotland, is it not?"
14853A sort of distinguished criminal, eh?
14853About Capella?
14853About seeing my cousin? 14853 Again I ask,"she exclaimed,"why do you tell me?"
14853Ah, she is a Frenchwoman?
14853Ah, then you know nearly all the members of the Hume- Frazer family?
14853Ah,he said pleasantly,"our American cousins call it a''corpse reviver,''but a corpse could not do that, could he, Winter?"
14853All what?
14853And afterwards?
14853And cracks-- large ones?
14853And did you?
14853And how do you know it is a dorking?
14853And how is my pretty_ karasu_?
14853And if I were made Chief Inspector?
14853And she with him?
14853And then?
14853And this newly- arrived cousin, what of him?
14853And what were they?
14853And where did you send it?
14853And who the devil may you be?
14853Any luck with the Jap, sir?
14853Any message?
14853Any other person?
14853Anything else, Winter?
14853Anything further?
14853Are you Signor Capella?
14853Are you both absolutely certain that there are no other members of your family in existence?
14853Are you leaving to- morrow?
14853Are you quite certain of this?
14853Are you quite certain,he asked, with a last tinge of anxiety in his voice,"that Ooma will be arrested to- day?"
14853Are you quite sure?
14853Are you so hard up that you could not buy food?
14853Are you sure of this?
14853Are you sure of this?
14853As a preliminary to a pleasant chat, may I suggest a cup of tea for each of us?
14853Because I think you wished to be assured of it?
14853Before Mr. David Hume- Fraser arrived at Beechcroft from London, had any other visitors seen Sir Alan?
14853But how and why did you kill Capella?
14853But why are you so furious about it?
14853But why did you not mention these incidents subsequently?
14853But why do you come to me?
14853But you believe me-- that this man has come to Beechcroft?
14853But you believed me guilty?
14853But you spoke of jealousy also?
14853But, Mr. Brett, how can I possibly leave Beechcroft now?
14853Ca n''t you come in with us now?
14853Can you doubt it? 14853 Can you have been mistaken?"
14853Davie did not come with you?
14853Dearest,said the girl, kissing her;"do you mean to say they have not told you what happened in the park?"
14853Did Mr. Capella consult you when he went to Naples? 14853 Did he kill himself?"
14853Did she say anything of importance-- bearing upon our inquiry, I mean?
14853Did the acquaintance ripen rapidly?
14853Did you call, mum?
14853Did you chance to notice the destination of the omnibus immediately preceding the Road Car vehicle?
14853Did you endeavour to raise the requisite capital for your estate in London only?
14853Did you quarrel with your cousin in London?
14853Did you see the person described as the Japanese?
14853Did you see your assailant clearly?
14853Did you use threats to him during the subsequent wrangle?
14853Do her people live here?
14853Do you hear?
14853Do you know her?
14853Do you know the gentleman?
14853Do you mean Helen Layton?
14853Do you mean in appearance, sir? 14853 Do you mean that he understands lacquer work, Satsuma ware, painting or inlaying?
14853Do you mean to say that you have destroyed the documents deposited by the Japanese on the writing- desk?
14853Do you mean to say that you possess a record of the facts?
14853Do you mind if I ask you, sir, why you are seeking this information?
14853Do you really think you will be able to clear up this affair, sir? 14853 Do you recognise those scratches?"
14853Do you remember the New Year''s Eve when the young baronet was killed?
14853Do you remember what I told you about Japanese names?
14853Do you suspect anybody?
14853Do you think you will be able to solve the riddle? 14853 Do you want a swipe on the jaw?"
14853Do you wish to see your cousin?
14853Does it convey no moral to you? 14853 Does it make the finding of Okasaki more important?"
14853Does your friend fight?
14853Gentleman,he said,"why are you so surprised?
14853Got what out of him?
14853Had not Mrs. Capella returned?
14853Had you been living at the former rate?
14853Had you ever heard of him before?
14853Has anything important occurred in town?
14853Has he got black, snaky eyes and high cheek- bones?
14853Have you Ooma''s letter?
14853Have you been long in charge of this station?
14853Have you ever met him since?
14853Have you met before?
14853Have you noted the exact time the accident occurred?
14853Have you seen a telegraph messenger recently?
14853Have you seen your cousin Robert? 14853 Having reached the place at 2.20?"
14853He is now the sixth baronet?
14853Hello, Mrs. Crowe, do n''t you know me?
14853Here are what?
14853Here, for instance, on the New Year''s Eve before last?
14853His stage name?
14853How am I to decide?
14853How d''ye do, Bob?
14853How d''ye do, Brett?
14853How did she acquire them?
14853How did you come to be in such a state?
14853How did you discover this fact?
14853How long afterwards? 14853 How long has this been going on?"
14853How long has your horse been out of the stable?
14853How long will you be, sir?
14853How much did your cab cost?
14853How much was the sum?
14853How now, you green- eyed monster?
14853How the-- how can I tell?
14853How?
14853How?
14853I can not decipher the motto,he said;"what is it?"
14853I got your wire, Mr. Brett,he explained,"and this morning after Mr. Jiro went out alone--""Where did he go to?"
14853I think I have it in my notes that at the time of the murder you were twenty- seven, Sir Alan twenty- four, and Mrs. Capella twenty- six?
14853I wonder if he intends to knife Hume?
14853I? 14853 If a little Japanese can come to this town and carry off a lady of her size and appearance, what may not a six- foot Englishman hope to accomplish?"
14853In his own name?
14853In what way can I help you?
14853In what way?
14853In what way?
14853Indeed? 14853 Is David still in love with her?"
14853Is Mr. Numagawa Jiro at home?
14853Is he really so like the others that he might be mistaken for one of them?
14853Is he the oldest?
14853Is he up to a hard day''s work?
14853Is it a facthe asked,"that you suffer from heart disease?"
14853Is it necessary that I should go there?
14853Is it the cause?
14853Is it to be for three, or none?
14853Is it? 14853 Is it?
14853Is my case, then, so desperate?
14853Is n''t the make- up good?
14853Is not that terrible business ended yet?
14853Is she ill?
14853Is that all?
14853Is that all?
14853Is that possible?
14853Is there any liquor in the dining- room? 14853 Is there any need for further risk?"
14853Is there no way in which I can find out where your mistress is at this moment? 14853 Is there really so much danger that such a proceeding is advisable?"
14853It is true, then?
14853It never occurred to you that you might be suspected?
14853Just so; but witnesses in what cause?
14853May I ask what that little is?
14853May I ask who blackmailed you?
14853May I ask, sir, if what I have told you will be useful in your inquiry?
14853Miss Layton knows the whole of your story, of course?
14853Mr. Brett, how can you be so heartless?
14853Mr. Brett,he said, and his voice trembled a little,"surely you could not have expected my presence here this morning?"
14853Mr. Brett,said Margaret,"do n''t you consider this competition perfectly disgraceful?"
14853Mr. Okasaki did not tell you what these scratches meant?
14853Mrs. Crowe,he almost screamed,"do you see those two men there?"
14853My dear fellow,murmured Brett to the disconsolate Hume,"do n''t you understand?
14853My dear girl,he cried,"why this solemnity?
14853Next?
14853Not through Fergusson, eh?
14853Nothing Scotch? 14853 Now, I wonder if Fergusson is still at the Hall?
14853Now, how the blazes did you learn that?
14853Of what?
14853Oh, Nummie dear, have we been doing wrong?
14853Oh, damn it, man, how did you ascertain that?
14853Oh, did n''t you? 14853 Oh, was that the tall gentleman''s name?"
14853Oh, you saw that, did you?
14853On what charge?
14853Out of pure good- nature?
14853P''r''aps you are not aware, sir, that the lady''s Eye- talian''usbin''ai n''t no good?
14853Please tell me what is the matter?
14853Please, sir,whispered the girl,"are you from Ipswich?"
14853Ran over a man, sir, did n''t it?
14853Rita,he said,"what has come to you?
14853Shall I ask him to come with us, sir?
14853Shall I ever forget it?
14853Shall I whistle for a cab, sir?
14853She had been living at Beechcroft nearly a year, then?
14853Smith,suddenly cried the master of the household,"what sort of chicken have we for dinner?"
14853So I understand, but used in this way it represents a family, a clan?
14853So you met Sir Alan soon after his return home?
14853So you really are innocent?
14853So you walked home, and resolved to hold out the olive branch?
14853So your cousin Margaret was sixteen?
14853Stated exactly, you were two years and nine months older than he?
14853Suppose I obtain news of his whereabouts?
14853Sure?
14853Surely you had some motive for your remark?
14853Surely you have some idea of the appearance of the rascal who pulled your horse over?
14853Surely you will not desert me?
14853Surely, Rita, you are romancing?
14853Tell me,he said,"why you helped this amazing scoundrel?"
14853The rector retired to his study immediately after lunch, I presume?
14853Then Mr. Capella is not a poor man?
14853Then he was compelled to hang about the avenue, watching his opportunity-- his opportunity for what? 14853 Then what are we to do meanwhile?"
14853Then what do you wish me to do?
14853Then you will arrange this matter? 14853 There is, I take it, no objection on your part to the inquiry I have undertaken-- the fixing of responsibility for your brother''s death, I mean?"
14853This is for use at the coroner''s inquest, I suppose?
14853Though, personally, you have little faith in me?
14853To me?
14853To whom, then?
14853Was he a foreigner?
14853Was it so important to ascertain what she did during that hour and a quarter?
14853Was that one of the other reasons you hinted at in the library when telling us why you did not volunteer evidence at the trial?
14853Well, I must admit that Italian wine--"Is not equal to Scotch; or is it Irish?
14853Well, has it never struck you that there was something queer about the manner of my Uncle Alan''s marriage-- Margaret''s father, I mean?
14853Well, how goes the ratiocinative process?'' 14853 Were they all''little''?
14853What about you, Robert?
14853What are we supposed to do-- shake hands?
14853What are you doing here?
14853What are you hinting at? 14853 What are you hinting at?"
14853What can I tell you? 14853 What can have become of Capella?"
14853What caused the trouble at Mrs. Eastham''s ball?
14853What did the murderer steal from Sir Alan''s writing- desk, from the drawer broken open before the blow was struck?
14853What did you mean just now when you said that he was''responsible for his cousin''s death''? 14853 What did you see?"
14853What do you mean?
14853What do you mean?
14853What do you want?
14853What does Mr. David Hume look like, Smith?
14853What does it all mean?
14853What else can it be? 14853 What else have you written there?"
14853What fortunate wind has blown you here?
14853What good purpose can it serve at this time to reopen the miserable story?
14853What grounds has he for the belief?
14853What happened when you jumped the hedge?
14853What happened?
14853What has Fergusson got to do with the business?
14853What has that got to do with it? 14853 What has upset you?"
14853What is Capella going to get out of it?
14853What is it?
14853What is it?
14853What is it?
14853What is the matter now?
14853What is the precise purpose of the knife attached to the Japanese sword? 14853 What kept you up till one o''clock?"
14853What on earth was he doing there?
14853What quarrel?
14853What restrained you?
14853What sort of a cloud?
14853What the deuce has it got to do with you?
14853What was the nephew''s name?
14853What was the value of the punch?
14853What with-- his fist?
14853What''s a- goin''on in the park, sir?
14853What, none? 14853 What, you rascal, would you call me names?"
14853What?
14853When did she get married?
14853When will you come to the Black Museum?
14853When you reached Stowmarket did the stationmaster exhibit any marked interest in you?
14853Where did Mrs. Capella go when she left the hotel?
14853Where is her husband?
14853Where is this man now?
14853Where? 14853 Which make do you prefer?"
14853Which would be unjustifiable?
14853Who are they?
14853Who brought this note?
14853Who can say? 14853 Who did kill him?"
14853Who else knew of your disagreement with him besides these money- lenders and his solicitors?
14853Who else? 14853 Who has Margaret to fear, and what do David and I care for all the anonymous scoundrels in creation?"
14853Who has appointed you grand inquisitor to the family, I should like to know? 14853 Who is looking after the place in your absence?"
14853Who on earth can this be?
14853Whom did you see?
14853Why are the gates locked?
14853Why are you so anxious to prevent Capella and Ooma meeting, sir?
14853Why are you such a fool as to resist the kindness offered to you? 14853 Why are you suffering so?"
14853Why did you come here on that occasion?
14853Why did you come here to- day?
14853Why did you give your cousin this sword?
14853Why did you give your name at Ipswich as Okasaki?
14853Why did you not come forward then?
14853Why did you not let me know you were coming?
14853Why did you not write to me again?
14853Why do you bring in her name?
14853Why do you say''setting sun''? 14853 Why do you tell me that?"
14853Why have you left us alone all those years, to turn up at last in this queer way?
14853Why is it so important? 14853 Why on earth did you run so fast?"
14853Why should it be?
14853Why, sir, has anything special happened?
14853Why? 14853 Why?
14853Why?
14853Why?
14853Why?
14853Why?
14853Why?
14853Will you be here when I come back, sir?
14853Will you come quietly,he said,"or by the scruff of the neck?"
14853Will you take up my case?
14853Will you tell me why you and your husband have, shall we say, disagreed so soon after your marriage? 14853 Wo n''t you sit down?"
14853Would n''t any man swear, sir? 14853 Would ye hae me speak o''wraiths to a Suffolk jury, Mr. Brett?
14853Would you care to walk to the house with me now?
14853Would you mind ringing for Smith, sir?
14853Ye ken, sir,he said,"that the Hume- Frazers are mixed up wi''an auld Scoatch hoose?"
14853Yes, but how about the colour of the girl''s eyes?
14853Yes, but--"Robert!--Margaret''s voice was choking, and her face was woefully white once more--"were you-- here-- when Alan-- was killed?"
14853Yes, sir; but what of that?
14853Yes, so my father says; but why does it appeal to you in that way?
14853Yes; I suppose David told you about him?
14853Yes; and pray what mystery have you elucidated now?
14853Yes?
14853You are candour itself; but you have not answered me?
14853You are sure you are making no mistake?
14853You are the gentleman who came here three days ago with Mr. David, whom, by the way, I hardly recognised at first?
14853You did not tell the police about the assault?
14853You let two gentlemen in a while ago?
14853You must have heard, from her maid or some other source, where Mrs. Capella has gone to?
14853You probably guess the object of our visit?
14853You recollect, of course, that Mr. David Hume- Frazer was arrested and tried for the murder of his cousin?
14853You remember the day of the murder?
14853You said nothing of this at the time?
14853You said:''Davie, why did you try to murder me?'' 14853 You will stay for luncheon, will you not?
14853You wonder,she said,"why I do not trust you fully?
14853Your father is still living?
14853''Do you disown your sister, then?''
1485318 and your room?"
14853A little farther on he said:"Are we approaching a village?"
14853After a brief search, he asked:"Do you know anything about heraldry?"
14853After a pause he went on:"May I ask, Mr. Brett, before I tell you my part of the story, if you formed any theories as to the occurrence at the time?"
14853Again, why did he lie about the type- writer, and endeavour to mislead him as to the make of the machine he used?
14853All about Mrs. Capella, an''Beechcroft, an''I do n''t know wot""Indeed, and who was so interested in these topics as to spoil your beauty sleep?"
14853Am I still a celebrity?"
14853An''wot does it mean?
14853And now, may I make a suggestion?
14853And wot do I see now?
14853And you, Davie?
14853Any reply?"
14853Anything else?"
14853Are not these your own sentiments when divested of all conflicting desires?"
14853Are you going home, or going to get drunk?"
14853Are you hysterical, or dreaming?"
14853Are you not mistress here?
14853Are you sure that David and Helen intend to get married?"
14853As it was--""You thought it would damage him?"
14853As they say in the Argentine--_Quien sabe?_"During the journey to Stowmarket he mastered the contents of the bulky document sent from Glen Tochan.
14853Brett surveyed the second telegram so intently that the detective inquired:"How do you read that, sir?"
14853Brett?"
14853Brett?"
14853Brett?"
14853Brett?"
14853Brett?"
14853Brett?"
14853Brett?"
14853But how about Hume''s counterfeit presentments arriving by the earlier trains-- coming from where and bound on what errands?
14853But how did you know that?"
14853But what is up, sir?
14853But why are you so interested in her?"
14853But why did these artificial restrictions exist?
14853By the way, do you use a type- writer?"
14853CHAPTER XXV WHERE DID MARGARET GO?
14853Can I be of any assistance?"
14853Can a man explain heredity?
14853Can you bring this human bunny here to- night?"
14853Can you come to us at once?
14853Can you describe them?"
14853Can you not refer me to your solicitors, for instance?
14853Can you not, at least, give me your pity?"
14853Can you or your father tell me anything else about that sword?"
14853Can you remember the''bus which was in front of you at Whitehall at 10.45?"
14853Can you start this afternoon?"
14853Can you think I murdered your brother?
14853Capella?"
14853Capella?"
14853Capella?"
14853Capella?"
14853David Hume Frazer met girl in wood after 1 a.m.""Do you mean to say,"cried the detective,"that you can remember the anonymous letter word for word?
14853Did Hume''s sleepiness suggest the crime, and its probable explanation?
14853Did he fear the consequences if he were caught?
14853Did he resemble Alan and you?"
14853Did it tend to incriminate the Italian?
14853Did n''t I, Nummie?
14853Did not your acquaintances fail to recognise you?
14853Did you follow the girl from the hotel?
14853Did you kill my brother?"
14853Do n''t forget, Winter, I want to see that Ko- Katana, Whom did you meet at Sleagill, Hume?"
14853Do n''t you know him, sir?"
14853Do n''t you see, Winter?"
14853Do you always approach Beechcroft Hall in the same way?"
14853Do you hear me?"
14853Do you know that, within the next fortnight, you can, if energetic enough, see from the cliffs at Whitby the sun rise and set in the sea?
14853Do you mean that someone cannoned against you?"
14853Do you mean to tell me there is another branch of the family?"
14853Do you note the irregular spacing in''market,''''Frazer,''''talked''?
14853Do you remember our motto,''A new field gives a small crop''?
14853Do you smoke?
14853Do you suspect any person of being your brother''s assassin?"
14853Do you think I am likely to forget the circumstances?"
14853Do you think I would throw aside the most remarkable criminal puzzle I have ever tackled?"
14853Do you understand me thoroughly?"
14853Do you understand me?"
14853Do you understand?"
14853Do you, Winter?"
14853Does anyone here know where you are going?"
14853Does she know that Robert loves her?
14853Does she still live there?"
14853Does the name suggest nothing to you, Winter?"
14853Does this account for your allusion to the supernatural?"
14853Eastham''s?"
14853Even then he was silent, so Brett looked at him in surprise,"Well, Winter, what do you think of it?"
14853For how long?"
14853Had not Mrs. Capella to look twice at you before she knew you?
14853Had you the impression that he married me for my money?"
14853Have I not told you that Capella will bring that knowledge with him from Naples?
14853Have all these stunning items of intelligence invaded your intellect only since you went to Middle Street?"
14853Have matters reached that stage?"
14853Have you any other relations?"
14853Have you ever been there, Mrs. Capella?
14853Have you ever seen a great actor in the role of Mephistopheles?"
14853Have you formed any theory about the crime, its motive, or its possible author?"
14853Have you got it?"
14853Have you met him?"
14853Have you told him, Davie?"
14853He flung open the window, and said, with some degree of hauteur:"Whom do you wish to see?
14853He gave the required information, and went on:"Had Mr. Jiro any other friends in Ipswich to your knowledge?"
14853He is with Helen Layton now, you say?"
14853He was tempted to add:"What is its name?"
14853He wrote a telegram to Hume:"Where is Fergusson?
14853How can you be certain?
14853How could I connect it with the death of my brother?
14853How could he offer consolation to a woman whose tenderest feelings had been so wantonly outraged?
14853How dare you, of all men, speak thus to my cousin?"
14853How did you know the sun was setting, and not rising?"
14853How do you account for it, Winter?"
14853How does his Japanese nationality elucidate an utterly useless and purposeless murder?"
14853How does one distinguish it from the rising sun in embossed or inlaid work?"
14853How many more uncles, and aunts, and cousins have you?"
14853How much do you want?
14853How old were you when this group was taken?"
14853How should I guess?"
14853Hume?"
14853Hume?"
14853I can send a friend to you?"
14853I caught a squint at it, an''I sez,''Beg parding, sir, but ai n''t that Mrs. Capella-- Miss Margaret as used to be?''
14853I suppose you do not care to accompany me, Hume?"
14853I suppose you got these as a present from Yildiz Kiosk?"
14853I suppose you have no objection to placing your observations in written form for my private use, and sending the statement to me at the County Hotel?"
14853I suppose you were going to ask if I guessed the cause?"
14853I suppose, Mr. Brett, you are fairly well posted in the history of our house?"
14853I take it you decline this proffered duel?"
14853I understand he was very many years at Beechcroft?"
14853I wonder if your accident will be reported in the papers?"
14853I would be nearing Naples now, instead of entering Stowmarket Have you any further information?"
14853If he has a grudge against my family, why does n''t he come out into the open?
14853If so, who were they?
14853If you move you are a dead man?"
14853If you wanted to kill a man would you use this toy?
14853If you, a stranger, can estimate the truth so nearly, why should I torture myself because my husband is outrageously unjust?
14853Is he a connoisseur or a student?"
14853Is he buzzing about under our very noses, or will he be an unknown variety?
14853Is n''t it like Hume, for instance?"
14853Is n''t this 76 Middle Street?"
14853Is not that so?"
14853Is she afraid that he will despise her?
14853Is that an Italian way of describing a cold- blooded murder?"
14853Is that the writing- table?
14853Is the furniture the same?
14853It has a Japanese ring, yet you say he resembles our family?"
14853It is the motto of some important Japanese family, is it not?"
14853It was not Helen but Margaret who wailed in agony:"Do you really mean what you say?
14853Kindly exercise it, and answer my questions, Did you kill your cousin?"
14853Know''i m agin?
14853Margaret, do n''t you believe me?
14853May I ask who you are?"
14853May we expect you in an hour''s time?"
14853May we not come in?"
14853Miss Dew is the prospective princess, I presume?"
14853Mr. Winter pondered a little while; then he addressed Hume hesitatingly:"Does Mr. Brett know everything that happened after the murder?"
14853My cousin Robert--""What, the gentleman from the Argentine?"
14853Not much, eh?"
14853Now he straightened himself, and continued in deadly earnest:"When did you leave the hotel?"
14853Now what did it all mean?"
14853Now, I wonder if that type- writer has been repaired?"
14853Now, Mr. Brett, I ask you, would you have submitted that fairy tale to a jury?
14853Now, Mr. Brett, how would you like to be called a wild goose?"
14853Okasaki?"
14853Okasaki?"
14853Or you, Miss Layton?
14853Say three- quarters of an hour afterwards?"
14853Shall I return and drive you back to Stowmarket?
14853She came to him hastily"Why do you suspect me?"
14853She turned to her husband:"Why do n''t you tell the gentleman all you know about it, Nummie?"
14853Smith went out, and Brett turned to his companion:"Did you note Smith''s philosophy in the matter of dorkings?"
14853Strange, is it not, I did not look at their faces?"
14853Strange, is it not?"
14853Supposing we should want any further information from him on this curious topic, can you find him?
14853That is the one locality where you do n''t wish to be seen, of course?"
14853That man-- I threw from the train-- was her husband?
14853The barrister scribbled on a card:"Is Mrs. C. at home?"
14853The question to be solved was this: Why did Capella and his wife quarrel in the first instance?
14853Then he inquired:"Why did you say just now that you came away from Middle Street a few minutes too soon?"
14853Then you were in possession of his address?"
14853To whom, pray?"
14853To whom?"
14853WHERE DID MARGARET GO?
14853Wait till--""Well, I''m--""What is the matter?"
14853Was Capella mixed up with it?
14853Was any other person interested in what I may term the result of the dispute between your brother and yourself?"
14853Was he seriously injured?
14853Was his client telling the truth about his movements on that memorable Christmas Eve?
14853Was one of them a man of unusual stature?"
14853Was that so?"
14853Was there a scene-- tears, recriminations?"
14853Was there any special design on the Ko- Katana?"
14853We are like one another, are we not, we Hume- Frazers?"
14853We have no evidence that Sir Alan had ever seen Ooma?"
14853We used to call her Rita because, as boys, we teased her by saying her name was Margharita, and not Margaret""Why?"
14853Were there others whom you can not swear to?"
14853Were you led to believe that Giovanni was the murderer?"
14853What are the facts?"
14853What became of this third personage during the afternoon?
14853What breed of chicken have we for dinner?"
14853What chair did you sit in?
14853What did he tell you about the sword?"
14853What did she say?"
14853What did this journey portend?
14853What did you mean?"
14853What did you say her name is now?"
14853What do you know about it?"
14853What do you mean?
14853What do you say?"
14853What does he mean by''others''?
14853What does this motto signify?
14853What has driven you apart?"
14853What have I done that you should venture to so insult your charming wife, not to speak of the insult to myself?
14853What is he like?"
14853What is known about Capella?"
14853What mysterious workings of Fate brought those two together and then disunited them?
14853What new mystery is this?"
14853What reason could he have for committing such a crime?"
14853What relative?
14853What say you?"
14853What sort of person is he?"
14853What sort of person is the murderer?
14853What were you going to say when I interrupted you?"
14853What wrong had all these people done you to demand your murderous hate?"
14853What''s it got to do with you?"
14853What''s the use of talkin''?
14853What, then, could have happened to divide them so completely?
14853When can you accompany me to Stowmarket?"
14853When does Fergusson arrive here?"
14853When shall I see you next?"
14853Where did he change into evening dress?
14853Where did you see it?"
14853Where do you find stranger tales than in the records of every- day life?
14853Where does it come out?"
14853Where does it lead us, anyhow?
14853Where is Capella?"
14853Where is it?"
14853Where is it?"
14853Where is the man now?
14853Where is the original?"
14853Where to?"
14853Where was it placed?
14853Which of you would not dirty his boots to recover such a valuable article as this?"
14853Whilst Winter was searching his wits for a suitable argument, the barrister continued:"Where is Fergusson now?"
14853Who are the others?"
14853Who arranged that?"
14853Who is Capella bringing with him?"
14853Who killed Sir Alan Hume- Frazer?
14853Who made it?
14853Who made these statements to you?"
14853Who on earth could he be?"
14853Whom does she dread?
14853Whom- a?"
14853Whose crest does it bear?
14853Why did I let such a handful as Mrs. Jiro slip through my fingers the other day?
14853Why did Sir Alan leave documents of such grave importance in so insecure a hiding- place?"
14853Why did he kill Sir Alan?
14853Why did he refuse to impart his knowledge?
14853Why did he use such a weird instrument as the Ko- Katana?
14853Why did n''t he meet me face to face?
14853Why did n''t you ask your husband that question?"
14853Why did the bureau keeper speak so loudly?
14853Why did you go to meet Miss Helen Layton in the avenue about 1.30 a.m.--soon after Sir Alan''s body had been examined by the doctor?''
14853Why did you not let me know, and why are you here?"
14853Why did you quarrel with your brother in London a few days before his death?"
14853Why do you ask?
14853Why do you ask?"
14853Why have you dropped part of your surname?"
14853Why not be equally particular about the knife?"
14853Why not lock him up, and seize the type- writer?
14853Why should those things descend upon my poor little head?"
14853Why should you incur further risk?"
14853Why was I not warned?
14853Why was he so interested in the Ko- Katana?"
14853Why was not the sword itself employed?"
14853Why were precautions taken by the father to diminish his daughter''s income?
14853Why, then, had husband and wife drifted apart?
14853Why?
14853Why?"
14853Will Hume fight?"
14853Will he fight me, or must I treat him as a cur?"
14853Will he meet me on the Continent and settle our quarrel like a gentleman, not like a hired bravo?"
14853Will they part us from our babe?"
14853Will you do it?"
14853Will you order my carriage?
14853Winter broke in with a hasty question:"If he is speaking the truth about the snake poison, should n''t we send for a doctor?"
14853Winter, do you hear me?
14853Winter, have you your handcuffs?
14853Would either of you know the man again if you saw him?"
14853Would he have ordered things differently had he possessed the power?
14853Would the disciple rend his master?
14853Would you care to remain for the night?
14853Would you know him again?"
14853Would you know him again?"
14853Would you like to see the Ko- Katana that killed Sir Alan?"
14853Yet what have I done that you should think me capable of concealing from you material facts which would be of use to you?"
14853You are safe here?
14853You both understand?"
14853You contemplate taking divorce proceedings against her?"
14853You do intend to marry this unconvicted felon?"
14853You have told me that you first met Mr. Capella on New Year''s Eve two years ago, at Covent Garden?"
14853You imagine that you can guess a good deal of what I am endeavouring to hide?"
14853You know perfectly well that if half the people in this county were asked,''Who killed Sir Alan Hume- Frazer?''
14853You know that I am keeping something back from you?
14853You took her for a drive?"
14853You were aware that I had quitted the hotel, because you called there?"
14853cried Hume,"why has Capella gone to Italy?"
14853he vociferated,"when shall I begin to comprehend this business in its entirety?
14853said David,"where is the barber''s shop?"
22212''Is that a bargain?'' 22212 ''Why do you continue coming here?''"
22212And if I do n''t?
22212And if guilty, the worst is yet to come, eh? 22212 And nobody else, you say?"
22212And then?
22212And who is this Royal Maillot?
22212And you did n''t even find the little daisy what- you- may- call-''ems-- the originals, I mean?
22212Answer me, sir, do you believe that?
22212Anything particular?
22212Anything to do with your ruby case?
22212Are you in authority here?
22212Are you trying to prepare me for-- for the worst?
22212Burke, how would you, now, account for the safe being open?
22212Burke, where''s that ruby?
22212Burke,I said,"just how did you come to put the gem-- or the paste replica-- in the soap?"
22212But suppose he_ had_ made a will-- was it likely that I had been entirely ignored? 22212 But you can remember how he was dressed?"
22212But-- look here, Swift-- you have n''t examined the body yet, have you? 22212 Can we not go at once, Royal?"
22212Considering all the circumstances, can you confide in me with propriety-- just now?
22212Did the coming of Mr. Maillot upset his plans?
22212Did you ever see the replica?
22212Did you notice that?
22212Did you see anybody just ahead of me come this way?
22212Do n''t you think,said he, in a tone of hurt surprise,"that you might properly have consulted me before making any disposition of them?
22212Do you believe that Royal Maillot is guilty of this monstrous crime?
22212Do you know where your aunt and uncle were married?
22212Do you mean,he asked quickly,"that I''m not to have an opportunity to ascertain whether I left any of my possessions here?"
22212Ever hear of the Paternoster ruby?
22212Excepting what?
22212For goodness''sake, Genevieve, what do you mean?
22212Have you been hurt?
22212Hopeless? 22212 How about him and the other young lady?"
22212How is she now?
22212How many hospitals are there in the city and the immediate vicinity?
22212How much?
22212How old are you?
22212How would you account for the door- hinges on all three doors between the alcove and the bedroom having been freshly oiled?
22212I reserve the right, should the occasion arise, to read it; understand?
22212I suppose I should have rapped,she was saying;"but who was here to open the door?
22212I want to see him, d''ye hear? 22212 I wonder, now, since you were keen enough to find it, whether you can make anything of it?
22212I''m a peach of a shadow, ai n''t I? 22212 I''m glad you are fat, then; who would have watched the house while you were chasing whatever it was you thought you saw?"
22212If that''s so,I fixed him with a level look,"why did the intelligence floor you so?"
22212In the habit of wearing it?
22212Is the parietal a part of his upper- works?
22212It did n''t occur to you that Page might be trying a game of his own?
22212It is hideous even to assume such a thing,she very soberly made answer;"but if such were actually the case, I-- I--""Well?"
22212It is true, then, is it, that your uncle is dead?
22212Just how did Maillot''s story of his experience with Page impress you?
22212Look here, Maillot, has the young lady a companion?
22212Look here, Maillot, it''s not often that I''m so thunderstruck; why have n''t you told me this?
22212Look here,I demanded warmly,"do n''t you believe what she said?"
22212Looky here, Swift,Dr. De Breen buttonholed me, grabbing at his glasses,"what''s in this case, anyhow?
22212Loyalty?
22212Make the old dog get down on his hunkers and beg, d''ye hear? 22212 May I come up?"
22212May I sit down?
22212Miss Fluette,I replied earnestly,"will you listen to me for a few minutes?
22212Nice, bright sleuth, you,commented he, mockingly;"ca n''t you see through a grindstone when there''s a hole in it?
22212Now, then, Burke,I went on calmly,"I suppose we are ready to get down to business?"
22212Oh, he could n''t, eh?
22212Once for all, Burke, are you going to speak?
22212Or will I be obliged to drag you to that cell of which I spoke?
22212Or will you come down?
22212Papa, where are you? 22212 Papa,"she faltered, her voice quaking with the fear that suddenly gripped her heart,"what is it?
22212Royal may have to go to jail?
22212Royal,said Miss Fluette the instant I was through,"is that-- is Mr. Burke here?"
22212Royal,she said brokenly, but with an effort at self- control,"does this-- this man mean that you are suspected of-- of your uncle''s_ murder_?"
22212Say,he said,"ca n''t we go to a more appropriate place to talk matters over?"
22212So that''s what you make of those scratches and bruises, is it?
22212So,said I at last,"it''s to be warfare between you and me, is it?
22212Suppose,Genevieve had asked me,"that it was Uncle Alfred?"
22212Suppose,she propounded evenly,"that it was Uncle Alfred?"
22212Swift,he bluntly asked me,"have you ever heard of that confounded ruby?"
22212That all?
22212Then what did you do?
22212Then,I eagerly pursued,"even an expert might be imposed upon by the replica?"
22212Then_ why_ is he in prison?
22212There was a table there, by the head of the bed,she said;"where is it?"
22212To- morrow?
22212Was I cast- down and disheartened? 22212 Was the door into the hall shut?"
22212We would like to know, Miss Cooper, what relation, if any, you bear to the witness Maillot?
22212Well, then, what''s the use of borrowing trouble?
22212Well?
22212Well?
22212Well?
22212Were you familiar with his habits about the house?
22212Were you near the concealed safe?
22212What am I charged with?
22212What are those fluted affairs at each end with figure''10''s''in''em?
22212What can it mean?
22212What d''ye want to find?
22212What did they look like?
22212What do you mean by that?
22212What for?
22212What had I in common with Felix Page that I should meekly bow my head before the wrath of his enemies? 22212 What happened then?"
22212What has happened to you?
22212What have you against Maillot?
22212What have you discovered?
22212What is it you wish me to do?
22212What is it?
22212What is it?
22212What silly notion ever made you jump up and sail out of the room that way?
22212What the deuce are you laughing at, Stodger?
22212What was it?
22212What was?
22212What''s that?
22212What''s the matter with you? 22212 What''s your name?"
22212When did you first learn about the safe?
22212Where is Miss Cooper?
22212Where''s your headquarters man?
22212While Mr. Burke was absent,inquired the juror,"did you see the ruby?"
22212Who can fathom the Oriental mind?
22212Who did this, Swift?
22212Why are you so anxious to know, Miss Cooper?
22212Why should Miss Belle have any reason for despising Alexander Burke?
22212Why should everything that happens in this house be pulled off there?
22212Why the bath room?
22212Why, then, in your testimony, did you say the deceased went to the safe after the ruby for the purpose of showing it to you?
22212Would you mind making a journey there?--at once-- to- day?
22212You are positive of that?
22212You asked him to_ give_ it to you?
22212You believe I will do what is right, do you not?
22212You did n''t see it?
22212You_ do n''t_ think he''s guilty, do you?
22212''D''ye suppose I ca n''t tell when a man means what he says?
22212''T is n''t a woman, is it?"
22212A''hound,''am I?"
22212Ah, but was it?
22212Am I presuming too much?"
22212And his cheerfulness?
22212And how could it have been the replica instead of the real stone?
22212And if so, who were they?
22212And what meaning did those two figure"10''s"bear?
22212And why?
22212Any kin o''yourn?"
22212At this critical juncture a voice said, right at my ear:"Shall I stick to Burke?--or follow one of the others?"
22212Believe in ghosts?"
22212Burke?"
22212But again, why in the first place should Burke have informed the Burmese of the supposed gem''s hiding- place?
22212But how did you know?"
22212But was it?
22212But was this all?
22212But what have you?"
22212But what was the nature of the demand he was expecting?
22212But why should he?
22212But, after all, am I not premature in making this last assertion?
22212But,"he added, with kindling interest,"where_ is_ the ruby, then?"
22212By fastening an odious crime upon her cousin''s lover?
22212By the way, that ring you slipped upon your finger this morning, whose is it?"
22212Ca n''t you see that I would make any sacrifice to forestall such a dreadful chance?"
22212Close- mouthed?
22212Could anything be more unfair,''I asked him,''than to make me share all the animosities that Felix Page has engendered?
22212Could she be made to understand that if I exposed my hand now, before the issue was ripe, that the disclosure might work irreparable injury?
22212Coward that he was, had he at no time worked in the broad light of day?
22212Crazy?
22212Dev''lish cold, ai n''t it?"
22212Dippy?
22212Do I make myself perfectly clear?"
22212Do n''t you regard them as being safe with him?"
22212Do you feel equal to such an undertaking?"
22212Do you know what that means?
22212Fluette?"
22212Had I been negligent in not arresting both Maillot and Burke?
22212Had he been absent from home until an unwontedly late hour last night?
22212Had he turned aside to get something from the bed?--or maybe from the table?
22212Had the household retired?"
22212Has some one of them died and left a lot of money?"
22212Have you got the man?
22212Have you the patience?"
22212He shuddered, saying:"The dwarf?
22212He was-- but would you rather make an examination first?
22212How could he defend his title to it?
22212How could he have had an inkling of all this?
22212How did they do it?
22212How many were there?
22212How otherwise was their obscure connection with the case to be explained?
22212How was I to do that?
22212How would those letters read in the light of my wife''s years and the dignity of her present position?
22212I do n''t suppose you''ll insist on any rot about handcuffs and all that sort of thing?"
22212I had seen them; they were tantalizingly familiar; but where?
22212I looked sharply at her: what earthly reason should Alfred Fluette have for despising Felix Page''s private secretary?
22212I quickly asked:"Seen anything about the house?"
22212I saw your look dart to his right hand--- saw you watching him--""And you thought you''d confuse me, eh?"
22212I''ll do the coming; it''s only''when''?"
22212I''ll go with you-- of course I shall; how can I help myself when I''m at the mercy of a brute of a giant, like you?"
22212If it had not been in the bar of soap, where was it?
22212If so, how much and what for?
22212If the place was bleak and dreary in the daytime, what words will describe its dispiriting influence at night?
22212In what way?
22212Into what had I rushed so blindly?
22212Is it any wonder that I was stricken speechless?
22212Is it not better to lay bare all the facts, than to leave matters in the equivocal condition they now are?"
22212Is n''t this what you call a cryptograph?
22212Is that plain enough?"
22212It tells where a hidden treasure is, does it not?"
22212Know anything about it?"
22212Knowing how bitterly opposed he had been to Maillot''s attentions to Miss Belle, what was I to think?
22212Look here, Burke, what_ did_ you come back for?"
22212Maillot?"
22212Maillot?"
22212Maillot?"
22212Maillot?"
22212Maillot?"
22212Maillot?"
22212Make her my confidante?
22212May I come in?"
22212Now was n''t that an encouraging beginning in view of what I was after?
22212Of what use would it be to bar the way of her who came so impulsively?
22212Or did he have an eye for some fancied movement behind him, or off there toward the closed library door?
22212Or shall I go on?"
22212Or-- and here was my predominating thought-- did he have the best of reasons for_ knowing_ that Maillot was innocent?
22212Page and I got in here, he put it to me bluntly: Did I want money?
22212Page have a revolver?"
22212Page have followed the thief so stealthily if he had not recognized him?
22212Page kept it?"
22212Page pause to light the candle in the iron candlestick which stood upon the_ étagère_?
22212Page use the oftenest?"
22212Page wanting them?"
22212Page was in the house last night?"
22212Page''s bedroom Friday night, and what it was that surprised you there?"
22212Page''s confidential clerk, Mr. Burke, you had occasion quite frequently to come here to the house, did you not?"
22212Page''s intention to go to Duluth last night, eh?
22212Page?"
22212Peach of a monicker, ai n''t it?
22212Say, it''s pretty tough, ai n''t it?
22212See?"
22212She smiled at my warmth, proceeding:"Anyhow, I succeeded in finding you alone; now tell me-- truly-- am I bothering you?"
22212So I next asked:"When you went to notify the police, did you depart by way of the front door?"
22212So I presently said:"Have you any idea what your uncle did with the ruby after having shown it to you?"
22212So thereabouts lay the centre of interest, did it?
22212So, then, Miss Fluette was acquainted with him, was she?
22212Suppose I were to tell her that I believed her father to be the guilty man?
22212Surely you would not dispute that?"
22212Swift,--is it going to appear that Royal Maillot murdered his uncle?"
22212Swift-- do you think that this wheat deal has hurt Uncle Alfred financially?"
22212Swift?
22212Swift?"
22212The catechism which Genevieve was required to undergo follows:"What is your name?"
22212The old man instantly clapped a hand to one ear, and, leaning toward me, shouted into my face,"Hey?"
22212The something else that makes her loathe him-- are you free to speak of that?"
22212The stone cost my uncle a cool five hundred thousand: a pretty big price to pay for the indulgence of a personal grudge, is n''t it?
22212Then he looked brightly at me, and asked with an almost boyish impulsiveness:"Are you a detective-- like Stodger here?"
22212Then he turned to me, continuing:"Four reporters out there, too; what shall I do with''em?"
22212There was one discordant element in such a theory, however: namely, how could Fluette hope to retain possession of the gem, once he had secured it?
22212To whom, when he died, would the ruby go?
22212Was Burke returning my intent look?
22212Was Maillot the one?
22212Was he looking at me, at the reaved safe, or at the pathetic little reminder, which I was holding in my hand, of that long- ago Christmas present?
22212Was his manner in the morning of a nature to draw attention to himself, so that, in the light of later developments, it had provoked her suspicions?
22212Was his mind occupied by the crack in the library door?
22212Was it possible that Felix Page had any hidden treasures of sentiment?
22212Was it possible that he still fostered a hope of getting his fingers upon the real gem?
22212Was it possible that this cold- blooded creature could harbor an emotion as fiery as hatred?
22212Were they in the house now?
22212What could have impelled her to this extraordinary move at such a critical stage?
22212What did you think when your eyes first fell upon those old love mementos from Clara Cooper to Felix Page?
22212What do words avail at such a time?
22212What do you think of it?"
22212What do you want me to do?"
22212What do you want?"
22212What does this mean?"
22212What errand could be so pressing that it would bring anybody here on such a night?
22212What far- reaching machination was he so laboriously evolving?
22212What for?"
22212What next follows?
22212What on earth was it?
22212What particular, unusual circumstance was associated in my mind with that name?
22212What say?
22212What snare was he casting unseen to bring down in ruin the lives of others?
22212What sort of intellect have you that it should make such a choice between these two?
22212What sort of way is this to act?"
22212What was I doing Friday night?
22212What was it?
22212What was it?"
22212What you doing down there, Swift?
22212What, then, had she done with Genevieve?
22212When did a parent and a lover ever see things from the same point of view?
22212When?"
22212Where in the world was Genevieve?
22212Where?
22212Which door had it been: Maillot''s, or Burke''s, or yet some other door?
22212While Maillot and Felix Page were in the library, engrossed in their own affairs, could Alfred Fluette have been in the house?
22212Who more than any other can set himself up to censure our conduct, or lay down a code of ethics and morals for his neighbor to follow?
22212Who was my mysterious predecessor in the field, if he were not Alexander Burke?
22212Who was opposing me?
22212Who''s to blame then?
22212Who, or what, was to benefit by all that vast wealth he was so laboriously piling up?
22212Why did Felix Page want the Paternoster ruby?
22212Why did you put it there at such a time?"
22212Why do n''t you answer?"
22212Why do you persecute me?
22212Why had Felix Page paused beside the table while going between the hidden safe and Maillot, who was waiting in the library?
22212Why indeed?
22212Why should he be so profoundly stirred by the experience of one against whom he entertained such a strong antipathy?
22212Why should it come to flout me at this juncture without revealing itself?
22212Why, then, was she not at this moment in bed, with Genevieve caring for her?
22212Why?
22212Why?--I asked myself-- why?
22212Will eight o''clock be too early?"
22212Wo n''t let his daughter marry a man that has a drop of this''hound''s''blood in his veins, hey?"
22212Would she comprehend that such a course would immediately drive the guilty inside their defences?
22212You never heard that I was stingy when I wanted to gratify a whim, did you?
22212_ Hound_?
22212_ Was ever a cipher so empty of all meaning!__ What addle- pate had conceived it?
22212she cried,"whatever in the world has happened to your eye?"
17763''Deed, sir, and what''s amiss? 17763 ''Is it possible for an arrow, shot through the loophole made by the curving in of the vase, to reach the mark set for it by Mr. Travis''testimony?''
17763''This called from him the direct inquiry,Did you see anyone over there at the moment this young girl fell?"
17763''What more was needed to stamp her as a mad woman in the eyes of the ordinary observer? 17763 ''Which of the men and women known to be in the museum when this arrow was delivered has enough knowledge of archery to string a bow?
17763A brown bag, neat like herself in appearance?
17763A common woman? 17763 A name in it?"
17763A year? 17763 An oath?"
17763An old friend; a friend of her early days; do you not remember?
17763And Joyce? 17763 And Peters let it go at that?"
17763And Sweetwater?
17763And does that grieve you?
17763And followed you into the gallery?
17763And found nothing?
17763And he brought that clock from Switzerland? 17763 And he stood_ here_?"
17763And is that all?
17763And let the other matter rest quiescent meanwhile?
17763And no bows?
17763And the address?
17763And the child? 17763 And the victim?"
17763And then?
17763And those thoughts?
17763And what business can he have with me?
17763And what do you want of me?
17763And what is that?
17763And who was the man?
17763And you could do that?
17763And you procured her different clothes and the suit- case in which she now lugs about her effects?
17763And you saw this? 17763 And you?"
17763And you?
17763And yourself?
17763Any other arrivals to- day from the other side?
17763Anything new? 17763 Are workmen wanted there?"
17763Are ye wantin''somethin''of me that ye''re comin''this way?
17763Are you not Madame Duclos?
17763As Ermentrude Taylor?
17763As, for instance?
17763Attested to by her? 17763 Before his house is done?"
17763But not her reasons for it?
17763But why this long ride, this far- away spot? 17763 But you had been behind the pedestal?"
17763But you heard the arrow?
17763But you''re sure that you will not be afraid to stay out this terrible storm in a house with no neighbors within half a mile?
17763Can you describe the movement?
17763Can you handle the bow easily from where you now stand?
17763Can you tear off the back? 17763 Carleton?"
17763Coast clear?
17763Coming out of the door-- not going in?
17763Corroborative, only corroborative, sir? 17763 Did any of_ you_?"
17763Did she say she was going to bring her daughter with her?
17763Did she say what accident?
17763Did you ask her how she came to know that Angeline was dead, before the news was circulated outside the museum?
17763Did you know it was there? 17763 Did you know she was coming to this country?"
17763Did you know the young lady?
17763Did you notice, as you stepped from the landing, whether the boy staring at us from the doorway over there was facing just as we see him now?
17763Did you see anyone there?
17763Did you see the person who shot the arrow?
17763Did you succeed in getting him to acknowledge what it was?
17763Did you understand that she was leaving France for good?
17763Did you? 17763 Do n''t you know?"
17763Do not_ you_ advise this?
17763Do you all agree?
17763Do you recognize this portrait of yourself as one taken by Fredericks some dozen years ago?
17763Do you wonder that I sought it? 17763 Does he object?"
17763Does this mean that she had been made acquainted with the fate of the young girl; and if so, by whom?
17763Elvira Brown? 17763 Evidence?"
17763First, am I under arrest? 17763 For a day, for a month or for a year?"
17763From what direction would it have had to come to strike her as it did?
17763Goin''east or goin''west?
17763Had her speech an accent? 17763 Has she no relative to share your watch or take such things in charge?"
17763Has she socialistic ideas? 17763 Have we arrived?"
17763Heard?
17763Her name? 17763 Her name?"
17763How can you be sure of that?
17763How did you learn that?
17763How do you account for that, since, as you say, it was not natural for one pierced to the heart without warning?
17763How do you know?
17763How should I know? 17763 How?
17763I doubt that; I seriously doubt that-- don''t you, Gryce? 17763 I suppose there is no possibility of your drumming up anyone to row us over in time to catch them?"
17763In this building?
17763Instantly?
17763Is it of greater importance than the right which this dead girl''s friends have to know by whose careless hands the arrow killing her was shot?
17763Is it possible for an arrow, shot through the loophole made by the curving- in of the vase, to reach the mark set for it by Mr. Travis''testimony? 17763 Is there no hope?"
17763Is-- is she there alone?
17763It is the one witness I have-- is it not, Carleton?
17763It swayed out----"As if blown by some wind?
17763It was here she came then, directly from the hotel?
17763Killed? 17763 Lame?"
17763Left? 17763 Locked?"
17763Made to- day?
17763May I ask one of you to take down that clock?
17763No; how should I? 17763 Nor any name?"
17763Not if my heart is full of regret?
17763Oh, do you?
17763On what hypothesis?
17763On your own initiative? 17763 Pardon me, missus,"he cried,"but is it Miss Brown''s you mean?"
17763Perry, is the way rough between here and the station-- I mean, rough for me?
17763See what?
17763She was a good woman, then?
17763She?
17763So you positively do not know any more than this of what she has so religiously held secret?
17763Stood open?
17763Sweetwater, what is that you once told me about a family named Duclos?
17763That''s true; but how does it help to call it accident? 17763 That?
17763The date of his arrival?
17763The escape of X?
17763The woman who was sitting here? 17763 Then she is n''t lame?
17763Then she is still very ill?
17763Then you have nothing whatever to add to what the others have told?
17763Then you positively deny any active connection with the strange death of this young girl?
17763Then you think that the bow we saw behind the tapestry is an Indian one?
17763Then-- then--she stammered, her eyes taking on a hunted look,"you conclude-- these people conclude_ what_?"
17763There was no harm in that, was there? 17763 This is to be a secret investigation, then?"
17763This the second:''Was it the same that carried the arrow from one gallery to another?''"
17763This was before the attendant Correy called out his alarm, of course?
17763This? 17763 To- night?"
17763Very good, these are the ones which seem to me to be of the greatest importance:Whose hand carried the bow from cellar to gallery?
17763Was it the same which carried the arrow from one gallery to the other? 17763 Was she American or-- or foreign?"
17763Was that done for me?
17763Was the woman you wanted a staid, elderly person, apparently a foreigner?
17763Was this letter mailed from Paris or London?
17763We were-- were talking together here-- we did n''t notice----"Just married, eh?
17763Well? 17763 What am I going to do now?"
17763What color was it? 17763 What did you have in mind?
17763What do you mean by that?
17763What do you say, Coroner Price?
17763What does that mean?
17763What has that got to do with it?
17763What is he doing?
17763What is its purpose?
17763What is that?
17763What kind of death?
17763What more did you learn there?
17763What of Uncle?
17763What ship?
17763What sort of an opinion can a man form of a fellow like that? 17763 What was its color?"
17763What was that fellow doing, that he should n''t have seen this effort at escape, whether it involved a short flight or a long one?
17763What were you looking at?
17763What''s that you say? 17763 What, in the church?"
17763When can I get over?
17763Where are the others?
17763Where is he now?
17763Where is she now?
17763Where is the connecting link? 17763 Where was he standing?"
17763Where was the Curator when you forced open that door behind the tapestry? 17763 Which one of the men or women known to be in the museum when this arrow was released has enough knowledge of archery to string a bow?
17763Which way were they heading?
17763Who are you?
17763Who wore gloves that day-- kid gloves, mind you, for the mark of the stitching is exact, as you can see in this print of the same made by Stevens? 17763 Why Belport?"
17763Why did he run the forefinger of his right hand so continuously into his right- hand vest pocket?
17763Why did his finger go so continuously to his vest pocket? 17763 Why did n''t you say so?
17763Why do you speak like that? 17763 Why is that here?"
17763Why not from this one?
17763Why should I?
17763Why, madam? 17763 Why?
17763Wife or widow?
17763Will you be obliging enough to see that I''m given an opportunity for a few words with this Phil Jenkins on his return?
17763Will you give me your name?
17763Will you give me your reasons for such an assertion? 17763 Will you lead the way?"
17763With every reporter headed off, and anyone likely to report to a reporter headed off also?
17763With her torn dress and her little bag?
17763With this Englishman involved?
17763Wo n''t you be a little more definite?
17763Would you like to leave a message for her?
17763Yes, what is he doing?
17763You are sure of that?
17763You did an errand for her?
17763You did? 17763 You have not failed me in this?"
17763You know the bow, then? 17763 You love me, Ermentrude?"
17763You mean marriage?
17763You mean that by this thoughtless action she has left a clue in our hands?
17763You will go back to France?
17763You will write?
17763Your hotel, then?
17763Your name as carpenter?
17763''Was the transference of the arrow from one gallery to the other due to the same person who brought up the bow?''
17763''Way up in the Catskills, is n''t it?"
17763***** And Ermentrude?
17763***** And he?
17763***** Did she see a change in him?
17763***** Would she have had it otherwise?
17763*****"Good looks?
17763*****"Why so thoughtful, Ermentrude?
17763A highly decorative arrangement, it is true, but in what lay its interest for the criminal investigator?
17763A moan?
17763A nearer glimpse of the tapestry over there and the two great vases?"
17763A weakling''s paradise or the goal of the strong man?
17763About how old do you think this picture is?"
17763Alone, or together?
17763Alone, robbed of husband and child and friend-- where shall we look for her in this world of extreme tribulation?
17763Am I a madman, or a destroyer of youth?
17763Am I to leave this house----?"
17763And by this time, having reached the man he sought, he put his question:"Can you tell me anything about the woman who was sitting here?
17763And had he not understood her choice, bizarre as it was, and for this very reason, that it was bizarre?
17763And have you noticed that he''s a bit deaf, which is the reason, perhaps, why he was not sooner on the scene?"
17763And how many have you here, all told?"
17763And if they did why did they not speak?
17763And now, what about the persons who were here?
17763And she?
17763And this man?"
17763And was this the end?
17763And what did you say?"
17763And what then?"
17763And what took the older woman away?
17763And what was that sentence?
17763And which word of all that were to come would break it?
17763And you, Ermentrude?"
17763And you?"
17763And----""Yes, Gryce?"
17763Another?
17763Any other explanation to give which will account for every fact as this does?"
17763Anyone else at this end?"
17763Anyone in the rooms opposite?"
17763Anything in which we can help you?"
17763Anything more?"
17763Anything which you saw or heard at the hotel?"
17763Are these all?
17763As I have but just met Miss Taylor, do n''t you think such advice is a little premature?"
17763As some one brought a chair, she spoke, but very tremulously, to the director:"Are there no arrows in the rooms over there?"
17763At last the Inspector spoke:"You have been on the hunt; what did you find?"
17763At which I simply remarked:''You think so, Correy?''
17763At whose instance, Sweetwater, his or hers?
17763BOOK II-- MR. X VIII On the Search IX While the City Slept X"And He Stood Here?"
17763Because of Ermentrude or because of herself?
17763Been through the work- rooms?"
17763But a bit lonesome for a city chap?
17763But first, of whom is this small and mystic group composed?
17763But he can not escape now; you''ll get him, wo n''t you, Inspector?
17763But he did not; he knew what was before him and prepared himself for the inevitable meeting which would be followed by-- what?
17763But how about the woman who was troubling you with demands you had no wish to grant?
17763But how about your following the young girl here?
17763But how was she to find her way in such absolute darkness?
17763But perhaps he has some married or at school?"
17763But since?
17763But this other?
17763But to let that matter pass for the present: why have you paid such close attention to one end of your string, and quite ignored the other?
17763But wait-- can we see that section from here?"
17763But was it?
17763But what am I to think of_ Elvira_?
17763But what proof could he hope to obtain under the circumstances in which he found himself placed?
17763But what was she doing?
17763But where was the bow?
17763But why had not Ermentrude smiled?
17763But why should you?
17763But why?
17763But would she lie for anyone?
17763But would the same hold true if instead of being in front he had been behind the pedestal, as Mr. La Flèche is now?
17763Can her hatred be for some of our plutocrats or supposed oppressors of the people?"
17763Can not we forget my unworthy vaporings and enter upon the consideration of what may prove more profitable?"
17763Can you name him?
17763Can you not see that it is such from the couplet scrawled across it?
17763Can you wait, can I wait a year?"
17763Could she have been given a locker on this her first night?
17763Dare he disturb that thought?
17763Did Carleton Roberts heed these words?
17763Did Carleton Roberts see any connection between these two events?
17763Did Ermentrude accept her doom without a struggle?
17763Did I not see him glance back twice, and both times at her?
17763Did he come less frequently?
17763Did he ever say from what part of Switzerland?"
17763Did he know-- had he felt whose step was in the hall, whose form was at the door?
17763Did he see in this obvious fact a prophecy of what lay before the man upon whose privacy they were on the point of intruding?
17763Did he stay less long?
17763Did n''t you give them?"
17763Did n''t you hear that?"
17763Did she remind you of anyone we know?
17763Did she send out or receive messages of any kind since her return from the museum?"
17763Did she sew or write for a living?
17763Did she yield because of her own great longing?
17763Did you handle any of them in passing?"
17763Did you hear?"
17763Did you see anyone over there,--in the gallery, I mean,--at or before the instant of this young girl''s fall?"
17763Did you see it thrown there?"
17763Did you take her for a foreign woman?"
17763Did you think I could go on living without you?"
17763Did you think I saw anything?"
17763Do n''t you see it, sir?
17763Do you feel the same?
17763Do you know her name?
17763Do you not think it better for the truth to be known in such a case?"
17763Do you not think we felt the horror of this also?"
17763Do you remember any such person?"
17763Do you remember her?"
17763Do you suppose it was her petticoat?"
17763Do you think you could do that for me, or shall I have to see to expressing it myself?
17763Do you, sir?"
17763Does she want it back?"
17763Does this fellow Holmes know you for a police- detective?"
17763Duclos?"
17763Engaged, eh, and now all of a sudden free again?
17763Ermentrude, will you marry me-- now-- to- night, before leaving this house?"
17763Finally the Curator paused, and stealing another look at that white head, remarked anxiously:"Have you not grown gray very suddenly?
17763Gone out, you mean?"
17763Had Madame Duclos heard of her daughter''s death when she first presented herself to you?"
17763Had he grown indifferent or was he simply perplexed?
17763Had he not been shown the piece of goods from which it had been taken?
17763Had her fears read him aright?
17763Had it been his own hand which had directed this arrow from behind the pedestal?
17763Had it had a like effect on her?
17763Had it made him insane already?
17763Had its weight been great enough to push the bow back again into its former place close against the door?
17763Had remorse given it its poignancy?
17763Had she heard?
17763Had she seen them?
17763Had the machinery stopped?
17763Had this been observed by anyone besides himself?
17763Had this brought him any relief?
17763Had you, Mr. Travis?
17763Has anything happened to her?"
17763Have n''t you a bit left to show me?
17763Have n''t you hurried matters to get him so far in such a short space of time?"
17763Have you an equally ingenious explanation for that too?"
17763Have you any further questions to ask or shall I leave you to your deliberations?"
17763Have you anything to say against this conclusion?
17763He could look and weigh the question: Love or a quick success?
17763He looks a trifle hipped, eh?"
17763Here is the first:"''Whose hand carried the bow from cellar to gallery?''"
17763How about him?"
17763How about his own peace of mind?
17763How about yours, sir?"
17763How can an arrow be shot without a bow?"
17763How can we hope to establish it?
17763How could she sleep, with the promise of the morrow before her?
17763How could you?
17763How did it happen that a young girl, six hours after landing in this country, should come to a place like this without a chaperon?"
17763How did that come about?"
17763How do I know this?
17763How do I know this?
17763How do I know this?
17763How do you explain that?"
17763How had she taken this cool assumption that the ceremony performed in the path of the snow was voided by lack of proof?
17763How is it that we did not get yours?"
17763How long could such superhuman composure endure?
17763How long had they had it?
17763How many of them have you let go?"
17763How would we characterize his anticipations, or measure in our own mind the possibilities of the future as felt by him?
17763How-- how did you know?"
17763How?
17763How?
17763I can conceive such an end to her long patience, ca n''t you, gentlemen?
17763I can see him, ca n''t you?
17763I had just stepped out----""From behind the tapestry?"
17763I had seen her receive a note----""A note?
17763I hope you are alone in these conclusions-- that you have not seen fit to share your ideas on this subject with any of the boys?"
17763I imagine we shall find enough to fill in our time.... Any communications made by her before she collapsed?
17763I should say that they had been tossed about by a careless if not hasty hand, while the trunk----""Well?"
17763I''m expecting her here any minute, but-- Well, what now?
17763I''m sorry, but--"Why finish?
17763I----""But how did she get out?
17763If he hurried by, what would become of their now secretly accepted theory?
17763If not, what did she do with herself all day?
17763If not, why this ghastly display of an emotion so far beyond what might be expected from the most sentimental of onlookers?
17763If that was so, how came this bow to be where you have just seen it?"
17763In other words, do you believe her husband to be living or not living at the present time?"
17763Is Mr. Travis to be detained?"
17763Is he fool or knave?"
17763Is it an accident?"
17763Is it at some image of herself they see restored to hope and joy?
17763Is it worth looking into?"
17763Is our marriage to be as secret as our engagement?
17763Is that all you wish to know?"
17763Is that not enough?"
17763Is that what you wish, Carleton?"
17763Is the District Attorney prepared to make the next move?
17763Is there anything in her early history or in what you know of her later life, here and abroad, to enlighten you as to his identity?"
17763Is this your first visit to the museum?"
17763It is only-- would you mind stepping aside for a moment till I tell you a bit of gossip which has just come to my ears?
17763It stood on a table----""Well?"
17763It was full of incongruities; were they those of a disordered mind?
17763It was hardly a favorable moment for further questioning, but the Curator in his anxiety could not refrain from saying:"Who is she?
17763Lucie paused, and gazing in vague trouble after her rapidly disappearing visitor, murmured to herself,"Who is she?"
17763May I ask what you propose to do now?
17763May I ask where you were when that arrow flew which killed a young lady visitor?
17763May I ask you to read them?"
17763Might it not, in some strange and unaccountable way, have been flung there previous to the present event and by some hand no longer in the building?
17763Might she not be put on that?
17763My life is yours as I once promised, and do you think I would hold back the child?"
17763Need I say more?
17763No one to stop him?
17763No report in yet from the terminals?"
17763Not in this part of the court, I take it?"
17763Not knowing the danger, how could I avert it?
17763Now I must go; but first, what was her offense?
17763Now where were these two-- this man and this woman-- at the time just designated?
17763Now with the gray----""Are you speaking of the blue one?"
17763Now, what do you propose to do next?"
17763On which would his eyes linger?
17763One of a low- down type?"
17763One of your own men?"
17763Or had it been made by the man detailed to steal the name from the package-- or by the woman in the shop, or by all these combined?
17763Or-- well, the shooting of wild animals in India, Africa or elsewhere?"
17763Perhaps she was n''t hungry, and perhaps she did n''t wish to register, eh?"
17763Ravings?
17763Remember them?
17763Romantic situation, eh?
17763Saw it nearer than you said-- possibly handled it?"
17763Seeing it, Mr. Gryce felt a movement of compassion, and thinking to help him, said kindly enough:"Was it so very dreadful?"
17763Shall I be frank in stating the precise reasons which seem to justify our present presumption?"
17763Shall I help you down?"
17763Shall I set the boys to work, Inspector?
17763Shall I telephone?"
17763Shall we let all go and meet our fate as people should who stand on a desolate shore and see the whole world roll away from before them?"
17763She looked anxiously in his face to see and finally she asked:"How much of this are we to tell, Carleton?"
17763She ran by the older lady, and then?"
17763She was a foreigner, was she not?"
17763She was not only standing upright but was crying in his ear:"Can I get into the house?
17763She would have to move on; but where?
17763She''s not young, you know?"
17763Should he propose to do so?
17763Should he tell her?
17763Should she reassert her rights and demand that the father should recognize his child?
17763Should they attempt to sound this new mystery of mutual understanding to which as yet they had received no clue?
17763So Correy made absolutely no attempt to explain how this weapon had been carried from cellar to gallery without his knowledge?"
17763Surely, I am quite justified in asking whether indeed you have not handled it both before and after the lamentable occurrence we are discussing?"
17763Sweetwater was no fool; how had this man of marked appearance and generous proportions managed to elude him?
17763Taylor?"
17763That is open to dispute; but if he had done so, why did he not inform us of the fact when he showed us the key?
17763That the name on the package?"
17763That this was so, was shown by her next question:"But where is the bow?
17763The Englishman nodded; whereupon Mr. Gryce, approaching to his side, exclaimed in evident doubt:"You were standing_ here_?
17763The arrow is from the same quiver as the one which entered Miss Willetts''breast.... Did you speak?"
17763The girls''mother, was she not?
17763The one is freed from all her troubles; the other-- Do you think we ought to have a doctor to look after her?
17763The one woman kneeling over the other with her hand on the arrow?"
17763The others have gone without question to their places; why should not you?"
17763The question is-- who?"
17763Theft, eh?"
17763Then suddenly:"Where''s your aunt?"
17763Then with a side glance at Mr. Gryce, he added:"Shall I slip in behind and get it?"
17763They heard-- what did they hear?
17763This end and corner of what must have been my picture too, where was_ it_ found?"
17763To remorse or to an exaggerated personal repulsion?
17763To safety?
17763To what could this excess of sensibility be attributed?
17763To whom had she ascribed the loss of her ring, and what must she think of him?
17763To whom should they appeal?
17763Travis?"
17763Travis?"
17763Was he anywhere in the building?"
17763Was he trailing this poor unfortunate from pillar to post, for the reward it would bring him?
17763Was her name like that of her daughter, Willetts?
17763Was his story to be trusted?
17763Was it because he knew that only a person actively connected with the museum would have access to that part of the cellar?
17763Was it because of the importance of what he had to communicate?
17763Was it one connected with or entirely dissociated from the tragedy which had terminated the poor child''s existence?
17763Was it such a band, and would he presently be asked to find the umbrella from which it had fallen or been twisted away?
17763Was it triumphant enough to lead him to acknowledge their marriage?
17763Was it?
17763Was it?"
17763Was she a friend of yours?"
17763Was she the woman he had pictured in his mind''s eye?
17763Was she to show no firmer spirit whose love was of the soul and took no note of time?
17763Was the look this called up one of fear or of simple repugnance?
17763Was the name Duclos a false one?
17763Was there no one in the right- hand gallery to see what went on in the left?"
17763Was there no one to see?
17763Was there uneasiness in his eye-- coolness-- languor?
17763Was this meant to startle the director, and did it succeed in doing so?
17763Was this why his remark took the form of a question?
17763We''re so fond of one another, and how could we know that anyone was dying so near?"
17763Well, Correy, what is it?"
17763Well, and what of it?
17763Were the words coming-- the words which might at a stroke pull down the whole fabric of his life, past, present and to come?
17763Were you able to effect an understanding with her nurse?"
17763Were you interested in the Indian relics you had come among?
17763Were you standing in front of the pedestal or behind it when you saw Miss Willetts fall?"
17763What Mr. Gryce said was this:"You are interested I see in this show of old armor?
17763What awful mistake had he made?
17763What can I say to them?
17763What can anybody say?
17763What could have happened?
17763What did that note contain, and who could have taken advantage of the arrival of some late- comer to slip it into her hand?
17763What did the man say?"
17763What did this mean?
17763What do you mean by that?"
17763What do you think, Mr. Gryce?
17763What do you want to know?"
17763What else could he do?
17763What else is there to think?
17763What excuse did she give, and where has she gone?"
17763What follows?
17763What had he to say?
17763What is her name and what is yours?"
17763What is it?
17763What is the matter?"
17763What is this something?
17763What makes you say Madame Duclos knew me?"
17763What of her?
17763What reason had you for any such feeling in regard to a person with whom you had held no conversation?
17763What remains for us to do under circumstances like these?
17763What should she do?
17763What was I to do?
17763What was it then?
17763What was it to him?
17763What was it?
17763What was that?
17763What was this point?
17763What were a few wild oats sown by a man of his promise?
17763What''s the use of having ears if you do n''t use them?
17763What''s there strange about that?"
17763What''s up?"
17763What?
17763What?"
17763What_ was_ her name?
17763When did politics ever make a man happy?"
17763When this young lady fell so unexpectedly at your feet, was your first look at her or at the opposite gallery?"
17763When?
17763Where could this unprotected girl be going, alone and in a hotel cab?
17763Where did it come from?
17763Where does this Duclos family live?"
17763Where shall we go to have it out?"
17763Where was he about to take them?
17763Where was the Curator?"
17763Where were you kneeling?"
17763Where were you, and why were n''t you seen by my man when he went through the building?"
17763Who can tell?
17763Who can tell?
17763Who could she have been?"
17763Who else was there to do it?
17763Who gave it to her?"
17763Who has not felt his imagination stirred by the contrasts thus offered-- contrasts never more apparent than at these hours of supposed rest?
17763Who she is and where she has gone?"
17763Who was this third man, and where had he come from?
17763Who would not?
17763Whom was she with?"
17763Why could n''t a minister be found in Lucerne?
17763Why did I leave New York?"
17763Why did I not crush it to atoms long ago?
17763Why did it quiver?
17763Why did n''t you say so at once?
17763Why did she start as it thus took on shape before her?
17763Why do you say killed?
17763Why should he give her a moment''s thought?
17763Why should the Coroner of Greene County want to see_ me_?"
17763Why should the sight of all this rouse emotions she believed eliminated by a treachery most cruel in face of promises most sacred?
17763Why then a sheet yet blank and a hesitating hand, when all it had to do was to write?
17763Why was that one coat lacking?
17763Why?
17763Why?
17763Why?
17763Will you have to walk far?"
17763Will you let me go?"
17763Will you let me see if she is right?
17763Will you never come to see it?"
17763Will you take that for your answer and let me go?"
17763With a significant gesture toward the tapestry, he eagerly exclaimed:"You see that?
17763With this woman eliminated from the situation, what explanation was there of the curious death he was there to investigate?
17763Wo n''t you excuse me?
17763Won''t-- won''t you forget about it, sir, if I promise to tell her some day that it was brought back and I would n''t take it?"
17763Would a more direct question rouse him?
17763Would a younger man have served them better?
17763Would any of them?
17763Would anything come of it?
17763Would he find her in?
17763Would he have any better luck with the subject of his next inquiry?
17763Would he obtain a straight answer if he did?
17763Would he pause before it or hurry by into the broad corridor in front?
17763Would he use his influence with this stranger?
17763Would it do to interrupt him with questions?
17763Would it not have been better if the avalanche had overwhelmed them?
17763Would she be in spirits to meet him?
17763Would she be satisfied now?
17763Would she heed his prayer?
17763Would she look beautiful-- worthy of his name, worthy of the greatest sacrifice a man can make for a woman?
17763Would they find her there?
17763Would they send over a capable detective?
17763Would this display of friendliness have the effect of restoring some of his self- possession and giving him the confidence he evidently lacked?
17763X"AND HE STOOD_ HERE_?"
17763XXIX A Strong Man XXX The Creeping Shadow XXXI Confronted XXXII"Why Is that Here?"
17763XXVI THE FACE IN THE WINDOW"Is this the place?"
17763XXXII"WHY IS THAT HERE?"
17763Yet I do not see how we can be held responsible for so unprecedented an attack as this, do you?"
17763Yet how could these men know?
17763You are not quite yourself to- day?"
17763You do n''t happen to know where she''s gone to, do you?"
17763You have given us a clever explanation of one of them, but how about the other?
17763You remember the day we all left school and you went home and I came to Britanny?
17763You say you saw her fall, but how did you know she was killed?"
17763You were looking at the armor when you first heard the hubbub over there?"
17763You would n''t attribute any such extraordinary precaution as that to a fellow shooting an arrow across the court on a dare?"
17763_"What was her name?
17763he asked,"--your name and residence?"
17763he demanded after a few minutes''wait, during which there had been a scattering to right and left along the galleries,"what do you say?"
10443A Frenchwoman?
10443A clean- shaven man, with brown hair, and well built, eh?
10443A lady in a motor- car?
10443About when was it that this young man first came to your cafe, then?
10443According to Merrifield, eh? 10443 Ah you''ve got a theory of your own, then?"
10443All that came out in talk this afternoon?
10443All unmounted-- like this?
10443And I think she did not return home last night?
10443And Miss Lennard-- what did she want?
10443And he left off coming-- when?
10443And how,asked the official,"were the jewels packed when given to him?"
10443And supposing she can tell that?
10443And the fourth-- John Barcombe, Manchester-- you did n''t know him?
10443And the question, Mr. Allerdyke, the big question-- a most important question!--is, how did it come into this man Lydenberg''s possession?
10443And what time is the critical moment to be?
10443And yet why should n''t she?
10443And-- the result?
10443And-- what is it, sir?
10443Any solution of it present itself to your mind?
10443Anybody see it happen?
10443Anything wrong?
10443Are you-- are you really asking me to-- to marry you?
10443Asking his expert advice?
10443Aught else?
10443Aye!--but was it ever delivered?
10443Aye, and why?
10443Aye, but were they?
10443Been away since yesterday, eh?
10443Been in town long?
10443Big or little?
10443Business with Rothschild''s, eh?
10443But how?
10443But look here-- you''re not going back to town to- night?
10443But-- this confession?
10443But-- your own particular and personal desire, as I gather from the newspapers, is to find the murderer of your cousin?
10443Can I give you any advice?
10443Clever woman to have,observed Allerdyke;"knows all your business, of course?"
10443Clue? 10443 Come along, now, Weiss-- you''ve got a car outside, I suppose?
10443Come-- what, now?
10443Did any of them join Mr. James Allerdyke-- at his table, I mean?
10443Did he ever come to your place accompanied by anybody? 10443 Did he say at once?"
10443Did he see me?
10443Did he show you any valuables that he had with him-- jewels?
10443Did my cousin James ever mention this Princess to you?
10443Did n''t I mention it to the man at Scotland Yard yesterday?
10443Did they know of them-- afterwards?
10443Did you happen to see my cousin in conversation with any of them?
10443Did you have a lady set off from here in the middle of the night?
10443Did you have supper with him that night?
10443Did you hear him give the cab- driver any direction?
10443Did you notice this man-- Barcombe?
10443Did you see anything of my cousin when he arrived last night?
10443Did you see him leave the_ Perisco_ for the shore?
10443Did you see him talking to any of your fellow- passengers that night?
10443Did your maid ever go out in the afternoons about that time?
10443Do you know what I think of all this business? 10443 Do you know where his cabin was on the steamer?"
10443Do you know where she lives?
10443Do you mind my walking to your hotel with you? 10443 Do you recognize him?"
10443Do you remember if Mr. James Allerdyke carried anything in his hand?
10443Do you want me, sir?
10443Doing good business, I reckon?
10443Enough to engage, the attention of a clever gang of thieves?
10443Ever tell you where he lived in London--- at the time he was visiting you?
10443Family Bible?
10443For a purpose?
10443Gaffney,he said as he carefully closed the door on them,"you''re a Londoner, are n''t you?"
10443Gaffney,he said,"how long would it take us to run across to Hull?"
10443Good heavens, man?
10443Got any theory?
10443Had he aught to tell?
10443Had you taken any special notice of your fellow passengers on board the_ Perisco_?
10443Have a drink while we''re waiting?
10443Have you heard all this about my cousin James?
10443Have you read anything about this affair?
10443Have you seen-- anything?
10443He did not tell you who she was?
10443Heard nothing from the police authorities?
10443Heard? 10443 Her luggage?"
10443Home?
10443How came you to repose such confidence in my cousin, ma''am?
10443How could any one try unless he or she''s some clue?
10443How do we know that he did n''t intend to, first thing in the morning?
10443How do we know where to find this woman in Edinburgh? 10443 How many, Mr. Allerdyke?
10443How many, now?
10443How much does this represent in ours, now?
10443How soon can you lay hands on that brother of yours?
10443Hull?
10443I do n''t know her address-- how should I? 10443 I got those two reports for you-- shall I tell you about them now?"
10443I mean-- before he went over to Russia this last time?
10443I suppose it''s living in London gives you so much acquaintance?
10443I suppose there''d be people about, though the street, at this end, anyway, is n''t as busy as it once was?
10443I suppose you have nothing of Miss Slade''s?
10443I suppose you''d a fair lot of people come in last night from that Christiania boat?
10443I suppose you''ll go down to Hull at once?
10443I think there''s nothing else we can do to- night? 10443 I wonder what it''s all about?"
10443I wonder which print it was that he gave you?
10443I''m asking you what you think of the situation, as illuminated by this last episode?
10443I? 10443 If you do n''t know anything about it, or any of the persons concerned, where would you begin?"
10443If you only knew--? 10443 If you will leave your important papers lying about, as this lady says you''re in the habit of doing, what do you expect?
10443Is he a chap of common sense?
10443Is it any good?
10443Is it what you anticipated from your first glance at him-- here?
10443Is my blessed memory going wrong?
10443It all seems remarkably vague, Blindway-- why could n''t they give us more news?
10443It proves-- what?
10443It''s a little early for that, is n''t it?
10443Jewels?--why-- what makes you ask such a question?
10443Just as fellow- passengers, I suppose?
10443Large enough, I presume, to conceal the jewel- box your friend has told me about just now?
10443Leave your business in her hands if need be, I reckon?
10443M. Bonnechose,continued the chief, regarding his company with yet another smile,"is the proprietor of a-- what is your establishment, monsieur?"
10443Make aught new out of it, sir?
10443Married woman?
10443Miss?
10443Mr. Fullaway, I suppose?
10443Mr. Marshall Allerdyke?
10443Mr. Ramsay, I presume? 10443 Mrs. Perrigo, of-- where is it, ma''am?"
10443Name of Chettle, sir?
10443Never seen it before, I suppose?
10443News?
10443News?
10443No doubt of it, eh?
10443No mistake about it?
10443No news, I suppose?
10443No signs of anything in the room, I suppose?
10443No suspicion roused?
10443Nor when you were on the steamer?
10443Nothing as to who''s going to point out the murderer, and so on?
10443Nothing confined to your care, eh?
10443Nothing disturbed, eh?
10443Now you yourself-- you''re going to stay in the rooms until she comes back from the concert? 10443 Now, according to you, that''ud be not so very long after you took that snapshot of your cousin?
10443Now, how did he seem at that time? 10443 Now, listen, M. Bonnechose,"said the chief;"did this man ever give you any particulars about himself?"
10443Now, ma''am,said the chief,"your husband the manager is out, and you are in sole and responsible charge, I understand?
10443Now, then, do you know Lancaster Gate?
10443Now, was there anything else that was unusual, last night-- in connection with it?
10443Now, why?
10443Now,he said, motioning her to drink,"you know your maid''s name and address, do n''t you?
10443Of course, what about her?
10443Of course,said the chief,"he gave you some name-- some address?"
10443Off somewhere, eh?
10443On whose behalf?
10443Passengers from the_ Perisco_, sir?
10443Plenty of petrol in the car?
10443Pugs?
10443Royalty, eh?
10443Seem? 10443 Seen anything of Mr. Van Koon?"
10443Self- administered, do you mean?
10443Shall I show him in?
10443Shot dead-- High Street-- this morning?
10443Since you left me this morning?
10443So unless what?
10443So you''re here, too, eh, Allerdyke? 10443 So your mysterious lady of the midnight motor, your Miss Celia Lennard of the Hull hotel, is the great and only ZÃ © lie de Longarde, eh?"
10443Something happened?
10443Something new? 10443 Something new?"
10443Still-- which are the people who came off the_ Perisco_ last night?
10443Take care that some of the brass sticks when you handle it, no doubt?
10443That''s about it, eh?
10443That''s my answer to your question of-- how? 10443 That''s not much, eh?"
10443The tall man, you mean?
10443The value of these things was great?
10443Then I daresay you know the Pompadour Private Hotel?
10443Then you are making it out to be murder?
10443Then you think he died a natural death?
10443Then,she went on, looking at her driver,"you will go on to York-- that is-- how far?"
10443There is? 10443 There was-- nothing missing in his room, I hope?"
10443There''s naught to stop here for, is there?
10443This advice, then?
10443This extraordinary murder- robbery business which is becoming the talk of the town? 10443 This is getting-- you''re sure there was no mistaking the signature?"
10443This-- what was in that parcel?
10443Told her about this affair yet?
10443Town on fire?
10443Very far?
10443Viewing the prospect o''er, eh? 10443 Warned him?
10443Was he alone?
10443Was it late?
10443Was she a foreigner, do you know?
10443Was that unusual?
10443Well, I wonder if he and Miss Slade, alias Mrs. Marlow, knew each other at all-- outside business? 10443 Well, what is it?"
10443Well,he went on, throwing himself into his chair again,"what''s to be done?
10443Well-- what is your theory?
10443Well?
10443Well?
10443Well?
10443Well?
10443Well?
10443Well?
10443Well?
10443Well?
10443Well?
10443Were they known to you?
10443Were they? 10443 What I want to know is-- has she seen them, and when, and where, and under what circumstances?
10443What are you going to do about the next step, now?
10443What brings you here? 10443 What can we do until we know that?"
10443What can we do, then?
10443What d''you mean?
10443What do you know about her private life?
10443What do you say, Miss Lennard?
10443What do you think now?
10443What do you want me to do?
10443What in the name of all that''s wicked is the meaning of that? 10443 What is done in these cases-- I suppose you know?"
10443What is it now, Mademoiselle? 10443 What is it, Gaffney?"
10443What is it, anyhow?
10443What is it-- important?
10443What is it?
10443What is it?
10443What is it?
10443What message?
10443What name?
10443What now?
10443What object?
10443What objection can you have?
10443What on earth are you talking about? 10443 What on earth d''ye make out of it all?"
10443What references?
10443What sort of business?
10443What the deuce has the woman''s private life to do with me?
10443What then? 10443 What then?"
10443What valuables are they?
10443What would you have expected to find if you''d found him as I found him?
10443What''s been done?
10443What''s it run to, like?
10443What''s it run to, now?
10443What''s it to be?
10443What''s your objection?
10443What? 10443 What?"
10443What?
10443What?
10443When did you find that out?
10443When was it?
10443Where is that card?
10443Where?
10443Which is she, now, in this lot?
10443Which of''em is Delkin, then?
10443Who is there at your flat?
10443Who is this Princess Nastirsevitch?
10443Who, man?
10443Why by myself? 10443 Why did n''t you tell me at once about the parcel?"
10443Why did you leave the hotel at Hull so suddenly?
10443Why!--that means, of course, in broad daylight-- in a busy street, I suppose? 10443 Why-- why-- you do n''t mean to say that box has my pearls in it?
10443Will he?
10443Yes?
10443Yes?
10443Yes?--what do you argue from it?
10443You can, of course, describe your maid?
10443You did n''t hear of anything she had to tell?
10443You do n''t know the other man, either of you?
10443You do n''t know, then, that your cousin had valuables on him?
10443You do n''t read the newspapers, then?
10443You do n''t think it''s been a case of poisoning, do you?
10443You do n''t think there''s-- anything wrong?
10443You followed it, then?
10443You have n''t heard of that Mr. Allerdyke since you left him at Hull, then?
10443You have something?
10443You hear what he says? 10443 You keep a bit of sealing wax, of course?"
10443You knew him, then?
10443You know that district well, do n''t you?
10443You know what I mean?
10443You know? 10443 You mean a joint reward for the detection of the murderer and the recovery of the jewels?"
10443You mean-- go and tell everything to your people at headquarters?
10443You notice the dates?
10443You really think that?
10443You really think this young woman has lost her jewels?
10443You recognize it, of course?
10443You recognized the woman?
10443You say the parcel was delivered here at twelve- thirty noon on May 13th?
10443You see how things are? 10443 You think he had them on him?"
10443You think it possible that the Nastirsevitch affair is the work of one lot, and the Lennard affair the work of another?
10443You think she''s hooked it?
10443You think you may find something-- there?
10443You will send for another medical man?
10443You wo n''t mind my asking you-- who''s this Van Koon that you mentioned?
10443You would n''t like me to send for the police?
10443You''re dead sure it''s no use stopping here?--that the robbery did n''t take place here?
10443You''re going to search?
10443You''re the cousin of the Mr. Allerdyke whose name''s been in the papers so much in connection with this murder and robbery affair, I suppose?
10443You''ve a Mr. James Allerdyke stopping here I think?
10443You''ve got an idea?
10443You''ve met him?
10443You''ve seen about this tremendous reward that''s being offered in Mr. James Allerdyke''s case?
10443You''ve seen it before, then? 10443 You''ve some theory?"
10443You''ve still got that watch on you?
10443About Fullaway and Delkin, you mean?"
10443Allerdyke, is there a regular devil''s conspiracy, or-- what is there?"
10443Allerdyke?"
10443Allerdyke?"
10443Allerdyke?"
10443Allerdyke?"
10443Allerdyke?"
10443Allerdyke?"
10443Allerdyke?"
10443Allerdyke?"
10443Allerdyke?"
10443Allerdyke?--took it yourself, you say?"
10443And I''m inclined to think his theory is correct, eh?"
10443And about this affair?"
10443And as I pointed out to her when she fetched me up, she found this box locked when she went to it-- why did n''t the thieves carry it bodily away?
10443And if you did not find them when you searched him-- where are they?
10443And if you''re wanting to, follow this affair out on your own, sir, independent of the police-- eh?"
10443And married a Prince?"
10443And most important of all-- who was she?
10443And now we come back to the real, great, anxious question-- Who did it?
10443And the question is-- is his murder of a piece with all the rest of this damnable mystery, or is it clean apart from it?
10443And there it all was--""And-- it was delivered to and received by-- who?"
10443And what I want to know now, Mrs. Marlow, is-- do you think he got access to our letters, papers, books?
10443And what I''d like to know now, Fullaway, is this-- what use do you suppose this young fellow made of the information he acquired?
10443And what does that mean?
10443And what good will all this newspaper stuff do?"
10443And what have I to go on?
10443And what particular danger was there in sending a very ordinary- looking parcel as he did?
10443And what time was that?"
10443And when am I going to hear something about my jewels?"
10443And where d''ye intend to cut in, now, like?
10443And who''s the man that''s with her?"
10443And why not?--yet... why did she call herself Miss Slade at the boarding- house and Mrs. Marlow in her business capacity?
10443And-- what next?"
10443And-- where''s the least clue to it?"
10443And-- who is he?"
10443Are they safe?"
10443As I say, what do you make of this?
10443As I say-- if anybody wanted to steal her jewels, why did n''t he pick up this box and carry it bodily off instead of hanging about to pick the lock?
10443As to your other question-- is there no clue to anything?
10443Aught new?"
10443Aye-- and what might this be that you''re asking about, now, Mr. Fullaway?
10443Bonnechose?"
10443Bonnechose?"
10443Bonnechose?"
10443Bonnechose?"
10443Bring any friends there?"
10443Business?"
10443But around whom, in the end, was it going to be fastened?
10443But business first-- aught new?"
10443But how?
10443But the thing is-- is that likely?"
10443But was that likely?
10443But what''s to be done?
10443But who''s the other man?
10443But you''re sure it is n''t a case of striking resemblance?"
10443But-- had there been robbery of another, a bigger, a subtle, and deep- designed sort?
10443But-- what?"
10443But-- who are they?"
10443But-- whose?
10443Ca n''t we go, please?"
10443Can I be of use?"
10443Can any one lend me pocket- scissors or a penknife?"
10443Can you give me an address here?"
10443Can you remember it?"
10443Can you suggest any place?"
10443Coming, Allerdyke?"
10443Confound you, Fullaway!--why could n''t you keep quiet for a minute?
10443D''you see?
10443Dancer, eh?
10443Dead!--why, what did he die of?"
10443Delkin?"
10443Did he ever get it?
10443Did he hand you any receipt for them?"
10443Did he know where she came from to his house-- where she went from his house?
10443Did he know you well?"
10443Did it get out there, or here?"
10443Did n''t you say,"he went on, turning to Celia,"that you had some very good testimonials with this young woman?
10443Did you exchange any correspondence on the matter?"
10443Do I gather that the right moment had not actually arrived-- for your purpose?"
10443Do you happen to know what time he got in last night?"
10443Do you honestly think that he had those things on him when he came here last night?
10443Do you know a real, first- class one?"
10443Do you know of any one likely to buy in one lot?
10443Do you really think that this French maid affair is all of a piece, as one may term it, with the affair of my cousin James?"
10443Do you think you could get hold of a private motor to- morrow morning?
10443Dollars?"
10443Eh?"
10443Eh?"
10443Eh?"
10443Eh?"
10443Eh?"
10443Fullaway himself, now-- does he know?"
10443Get to know that, and it narrows the field, d''ye see?"
10443Going to solve this difficulty at one blow?"
10443Got any ideas on that point?"
10443Had any one tracked him to this place-- got rid of him by some subtle means?
10443Had he ever seen her since?
10443Had its owner been into that room recently?
10443Had she, in fact, been in the room since James Allerdyke took possession of it on his arrival at the hotel?
10443Have n''t you got a key?"
10443Have you any clue-- even a slight one?"
10443Have you got it here?"
10443Have you thought of that?"
10443He must have been tracked all the way, unless-- does any unless strike you, now?"
10443He''d been in London, had n''t he?
10443How can we find out when and how he parted with this?
10443How could a man be shot dead under such circumstances without the murderer being seen and followed?"
10443How do we know that Delkin''s secretary--?"
10443How does that help?
10443How is it to be?"
10443How long had it been lying there?
10443How long is he likely to be off?"
10443How much do I know of any of''em?
10443How much would he and the others put up for the jewels and my silence?
10443How should I hear?"
10443How were they to get sixty thousand pounds?
10443How?
10443I believe that man Lydenberg did the actual killing-- but who was at Lydenberg''s back?
10443I believe you once said, Mr. Allerdyke, that your cousin was a bit of a ladies''man?"
10443I daresay she could give a very good reason for all this-- but who''s got any right to ask her for one?
10443I have the honour of addressing--?"
10443I just wanted to go into a few matters with you, alone, d''ye see?
10443I only want to ask you, Mr. Delkin, if you ever talked of this jewel transaction to anybody beyond your own secretary?
10443I suppose you''ll take charge of it?"
10443I suppose,"he continued, turning to the manager,"she first announced her loss to you?"
10443I''m not going to spare time, labour, nor expense in running that lot down, d''you understand?
10443If James had brought them, where were they?
10443If he did, why has he never mentioned it to me?
10443If so-- whom did he tell?
10443In a few hours they may be where nobody can find them-- don''t you see?"
10443Is he in this, after all?"
10443Is it a sort of Gordian knot affair that you''re thinking of?
10443Is n''t delay dangerous?"
10443Is that all clear?"
10443Is that correct?"
10443Is there anything any of you ladies or gentlemen wish to suggest?"
10443Is this the maid you brought with you once or twice when you called at my office some time ago, over the Pinkie Pell deal?"
10443It was n''t you who sent me that mysterious message, was it?"
10443It was nothing but a question of money, I said--- how much would they give?
10443James show it to you?"
10443Justices?
10443Know the other man, Van Koon?"
10443Looks like a compatriot of ours, Van Koon, eh?"
10443Madame is much obliged to him-- she regards him as a kind young man-- eh?
10443May I look at your album when Mr. Fullaway''s finished with it?"
10443Meet her anywhere, sir?"
10443Miss Lennard and the Princess, d''ye see?
10443Miss Slade is not at home?"
10443No men, for instance?"
10443No mere chance affair, eh?"
10443Nothing?"
10443Now then, what does it refer to?
10443Now what may that mean?
10443Now who the deuce is this Van Koon, and what was that Mrs. Marlow, alias Miss Slade, doing in his rooms last night when he was out?"
10443Now you speak of removing him?
10443Now, Mrs. Perrigo, you think you''ve seen the dead woman, Lisette Beaurepaire, at some time or another, in company with a young man?
10443Now, about these Gaffneys?"
10443Now, at what time did Mademoiselle announce the loss of her jewels?"
10443Now, how in creation do you explain this last occurrence?"
10443Now, it''s here, Mr. Allerdyke-- how much or how little shall I tell''em?
10443Now, then, Mr. Allerdyke-- how much, or what, do you know about any one of''em?"
10443Now, then, can you trust this friend of yours?"
10443Now, then, what about a doctor?
10443Now, then, when does the desired party appear?"
10443Now, then, where did the secret get out?
10443Now, then, you remember what it said on the postcard-- he was to walk down the High Street, on the left- hand side, at eleven o''clock?
10443Now, then-- why did that recognition make him run?
10443Now, who did find out what had happened?"
10443Of course you saw him?"
10443Of course, sir, that last murder occurred in the City, and so the City police want to come in at it, and--""No further details?"
10443Of course, you''ve a list of all the people who came in last night?"
10443Of course, you''ve come to some conclusion?"
10443Often we say to ourselves,''Where is Federman?''
10443Oh, I ca n''t think that--""Ca n''t you make an effort to remember her address?"
10443One-- Was James Allerdyke really murdered, or did he die a natural death?
10443Or shall we keep it all dark for a while?
10443Out of that, again, rose certain supplementary questions: What had she been doing there?
10443Paul''s?"
10443Perhaps you gentlemen will accompany Miss Lennard?
10443Perhaps you''ll come in?"
10443Perrigo?"
10443Perrigo?"
10443Perrigo?"
10443Police officers?
10443Ramsay?"
10443Right.--yours, Mr. Fullaway, is the Waldorf Hotel-- permanently there?
10443See you later-- at dinner to- night, here, eh?"
10443See?
10443See?"
10443See?"
10443See?"
10443See?"
10443See?"
10443Shall I fetch it, then?"
10443Shall we tell him?
10443She came-- when?"
10443She--""What hotel is Mademoiselle de Longarde stopping at, Weiss?"
10443Should he tell Fullaway what he knew?
10443Should he tell him now-- now that there seemed to be evidence that Van Koon himself was a doubtful character?
10443Similar message, eh?
10443So Fullaway had been out the night before, had he-- dining out, and at a theatre?
10443So she''s a famous singer, is she?
10443So your theory-- eh?"
10443So, he''d probably have the third print of it-- the one we''ve just been looking at-- on him when he was in London at that time?"
10443Strict guard on James''s effects-- any sealed package-- what did that mean?
10443Supposing your cousin got an idea that thieves were on his track?--supposing he himself fancied that there was danger in that hotel at Hull?
10443Surely not?"
10443That is,"she continued, turning to Rayner,"if Mr. Rayner thinks I may?"
10443That would be you, I suppose, sir?"
10443That''s an awful lot, is n''t it?"
10443The thing is-- can you fully trust these two young men-- your chauffeur and his brother?"
10443Then-- how the devil did that photograph, which looks to be of my taking, which I''d swear is of my taking, come to be in Lydenberg''s watch?
10443They sent for you?"
10443They think it important, then?"
10443This has been reproduced from mine, d''ye see?
10443Those reports, eh?
10443Those valuables you hinted at just now?"
10443Under what circumstances?"
10443Understand, Fullaway?"
10443Want to reach Hull at any particular time, sir?"
10443Warrants?
10443Was there any person who desired James''s death?
10443We''re all three in the same boat, really; so if we make up a good, substantial purse between us-- what?"
10443Well, shall we go to them now, Allerdyke, or shall we sit down here and wait a bit for Van Koon?"
10443Well, what are we going to do-- now?
10443Well-- and then?"
10443Well-- any news?"
10443Well-- what d''ye make of it?
10443Were you and your late maid in town about the time Mrs. Perrigo speaks of-- the middle of March?"
10443What I mean sir, is this-- do you want to keep any of this recently acquired knowledge to yourself?
10443What I meant was-- are you prepared to tell them all you know?"
10443What are those two men you spoke of doing-- the Gaffneys?"
10443What are your people going to do about this?"
10443What brings you, then?
10443What d''ye think o''this?"
10443What d''ye think of it?"
10443What did you go into his room to talk to him about?"
10443What do I make out of it, Mr. Appleyard?
10443What do you know about that fascinating young woman you have there?
10443What do you make of that?"
10443What do you refer to?"
10443What do you think of that, gentlemen?"
10443What do you think, sir?"
10443What else could I do?
10443What good have they done?
10443What good is it at all?
10443What is he after?
10443What is it you want?"
10443What is it?
10443What message are you talking about?"
10443What name, sir?"
10443What number?
10443What say you, Ambler?"
10443What say, Fullaway?"
10443What the devil, he asked himself, was this mysterious woman playing at?
10443What time did this young man come to the hotel yesterday?"
10443What time did you have your supper?"
10443What time, sir?"
10443What was she doing in James Allerdyke''s room?
10443What was this woman doing, coming-- with evident secrecy-- out of one set of rooms, and entering another at that late hour?
10443What would occur to him but to get rid of his valuable consignment, as we''ll call it?
10443What''ll the next stage be?"
10443What''re you going to do?"
10443What''s Mr. Allerdyke think?"
10443What''s he here for, now?
10443What?
10443What?
10443What?"
10443When and where did you make his acquaintance?"
10443Where and when was this?"
10443Where are they?"
10443Where do you want to get to?"
10443Where''s that clue likely to be found?
10443Where, then?"
10443Which-- what?"
10443Who is she?
10443Who was better able to engineer that than a clever chemist?
10443Who was this Princess with whom James had evidently become on such friendly terms that they had lunched and dined together?
10443Why not?"
10443Why, in this, and this only-- who knew, person or persons, that my cousin was bringing those jewels from the Princess Nastirsevitch to this country?
10443Why-- you do n''t say there''s been anything wrong?"
10443Why?
10443Will he keep himself in touch with your warehouse in Gresham Street?"
10443Will you come on at once and meet me?
10443Will you take anything?--it''s a longish ride from London, and I daresay you''d do with a drink, what?"
10443Would an object sparkling with diamonds have escaped the eyes of even a careless chambermaid?
10443Would it have escaped the keener eyes of James Allerdyke?
10443Yes?"
10443You are a relative?"
10443You booked them, I suppose?"
10443You do n''t think, really, that I was going to run any risks with the genuine articles?
10443You do not recognize the description as that of any man you have ever seen in company with your late maid, Miss Lennard?"
10443You do?
10443You ever hear of any of them?"
10443You gave these immensely valuable jewels to Mr. James Allerdyke?
10443You give your attention to your packing, Miss Lennard, and leave the rest to me-- you wo n''t mind travelling the night?"
10443You have n''t seen Fullaway while you''ve been waiting?"
10443You hear, then-- she will not come to sing because her jewels are missing, eh?
10443You heard aught?"
10443You heard her say that the jewels were in her box at Christiania, and that she never opened the box until this evening here in Edinburgh?
10443You know of her, of course?
10443You remember him?"
10443You remember that day I went to lunch with you at the City Carlton, and you pointed out this Mrs. Marlow to me, going into Rothschild''s?
10443You say she sent that wire from the East Strand post Office within ten minutes of your leaving her?
10443You say your folks at the Yard are going to follow up that Perrigo woman''s clue?
10443You see that entry of Frank Herman?
10443You see what it says?
10443You see?
10443You want to hear?
10443You''ll come here to- morrow?"
10443You''re figuring on its having been a carefully concocted scheme?
10443You''re in no hurry?"
10443You''ve come to tell something, of course?"
10443You''ve got her shoe- buckle all safe?"
10443You''ve heard of that, of course?"
10443You''ve naught of that sort, of course-- no great staff to keep up?"
10443You''ve no clue?"
10443You''ve no doubt whatever, Mr. Fullaway, that this dead man upstairs is the man you knew as Ebers, a valet at your hotel?"
10443You''ve no objection, have you?"
10443You, Mr. Allerdyke, live in Bradford?
10443do you really think she''s robbed me, or helped to rob me?"
10443he went on in subdued tones,"if Van Koon and I have a try for that reward?
10443it might be who''s she?"
10443said Allerdyke, after a silence that was full of meaning--"well?"
10443she exclaimed,"What are we going to be treated to now?
10443you do n''t think-- oh, you are n''t suggesting that she''s the thief?
26657''Well, what is it?"
26657''What the deuce do you mean?"
26657''Then, sir,''replied the rascal,''you will be doubtless glad to purchase my immediate disappearance with the contents of the August pockets?'' 26657 A Hindu?"
26657A motorist?
26657And you found him waiting for you?
26657Any luck?
26657Any news?
26657Any one been here to- night, Laver?
26657Are you going to leave the job to amateurs?
26657Besides, you are now no longer afraid?
26657But before giving you the results of my inquiries-- it wo n''t take long, by the way-- I should like to ask you one or two questions, if I may?
26657But how did you discover my address? 26657 But the robbery?"
26657By the way, Sutgrove,he said,"what''s this I saw on the evening paper bills about a motor pirate?"
26657Can not you recognize the rattle of Mannering''s old car? 26657 Can you take me to the place?"
26657Colonel Maitland? 26657 Could n''t you get it completed in a week?"
26657Did they though? 26657 Did you mention to any one where I had gone?"
26657Did you not mention me?
26657Do you call him handsome?
26657Does your friend refuse to acknowledge the compact?
26657For what reason?
26657Forrest? 26657 Has any one ever tried to hold you up?"
26657Have n''t I ever mentioned them to you? 26657 Have you everything packed to go away on your visit to Norfolk to- morrow?"
26657Have you heard anything further?
26657Have you lost anything?
26657He?
26657Him? 26657 Him?"
26657His what?
26657How are we going to get in?
26657How did you discover that?
26657How far is Towcester?
26657How''s that?
26657How?
26657How?
26657Hurt?
26657I do n''t know what?
26657I fancy you must have seen in the papers a pretty full account of all that the police discovered there?
26657I should have been inside that shop a couple of months ago,he continued,"if I had thought---- Whereabouts is the shop?"
26657I suppose I am at liberty to sleep where I like?
26657I suppose it was during the struggle that you lost the two buttons from your overcoat which you left behind you?
26657I suppose,he said, as we reached our destination,"I may count upon you not referring to the plight in which I returned to your place?
26657I thought you were of opinion that our friend will be tempted to make his reappearance to- night?
26657If there''s all that value in it, why should the owner go in for highway robbery?
26657In Vienna?
26657Is Mr. Mannering in?
26657Is n''t she in the drawing- room? 26657 Is n''t that musical?"
26657Is there any one else?
26657Is your verdict upon my restaurant equally favourable to- day, sir?
26657It was lucky for him he did not meet us, hey, Sutgrove?
26657Left?
26657Let me hear all about it?
26657Met any one?
26657Mr. Sutgrove, is it?
26657My young friend,he observed,"you have, I believe, undertaken to bring me safely home to- night?"
26657Not emulating the deeds of the Motor Pirate?
26657Not?
26657Now tell me, Mr. Sutgrove, did n''t that dream of father''s really happen to you last night?
26657Of course it is quite impossible that the motive power can be electricity?
26657Petrol?
26657Seen anything of the Pirate?
26657Seen nothing of Inspector Forrest, I suppose?
26657Start? 26657 Still, does it not strike you as curious that he should have selected the night when a valuable parcel of diamonds was there?"
26657Sure that is all?
26657Surely it can not be a case of suicide?
26657Surely that depends on what the girl thinks, does n''t it?
26657Surely you do not still harbour any suspicion concerning him?
26657Tell me, dear, what possessed you to go out into the storm?
26657That you, Mannering?
26657That''s very sudden, is n''t it?
26657The Colchester road?
26657The surgeon out?
26657Then I can be of no assistance to you, to- day?
26657Then you are really hoping to join in the hunt?
26657Then you have seen him?
26657They have n''t found Mr. Forrest, then, sir?
26657Was there nothing at all found at St. Alban''s then?
26657Well, Colonel, what do you say to a music hall?
26657Well, if I may?
26657Well, what is it?
26657Well, what''s the next move?
26657Well?
26657Well?
26657Were you not afraid of meeting the Pirate? 26657 What about the servants?"
26657What do you mean?
26657What do you propose?
26657What do you say to that, Inspector?
26657What do you want?
26657What do you want?
26657What grounds have you for thinking so?
26657What has Mannering been saying to you, for it was he whom I saw behind the hedge when I brought you out of the storm, I suppose?
26657What has happened?
26657What have you been up to now, Sutgrove?
26657What in the name of good fortune for?
26657What in the world for?
26657What is it?
26657What line do you propose?
26657What makes you ask?
26657What must not go on?
26657What of that? 26657 What power do you propose to use?"
26657What right have you to ask?
26657What should it be for?
26657What the deuce can we do?
26657What town is this, then?
26657What was the extent of your loss?
26657What''s the latest from Mr. Justice Jeune''s division? 26657 What''s the matter now?"
26657What''s the matter?
26657What''s the next move?
26657What?
26657What?
26657What?
26657What?
26657When are we going to start?
26657When can I see you again?
26657When did he leave England?
26657When did you hear that the Motor Pirate was at work again?
26657Where have you been? 26657 Where is it?"
26657Where next?
26657Where shall it be then?
26657Where''s Evie?
26657Where-- where is she?
26657Which direction did he take?
26657Who''s that?
26657Why did n''t you go to the police- station?
26657Why should it?
26657Why, darling, what ails you?
26657Why, what has he been doing?
26657Why, what made you think of him? 26657 Why?"
26657Why?
26657With me?
26657You are quite sure neither of you touched any of that port?
26657You can not mean to infer that Mannering had anything to do with that?
26657You did n''t get any clue in Amsterdam, then?
26657You do n''t mean to say that you still suspect me?
26657You have n''t a car to do a hundred miles an hour, have you?
26657You know him?
26657You know the numbers of your notes, I suppose?
26657You know where to bring it?
26657You saw him?
26657You still hold to the theory that he is mad?
26657You surely can not think that Mannering is in any way connected with the Motor Pirate?
26657You will have no difficulty, I presume, in proving your identity?
26657You will help me, wo n''t you?
26657You would like to make a more extensive examination, I suppose, doctor?
26657You''ve bound me up pretty tightly?
26657You, Winter, and myself, would soon settle a Motor Pirate, would n''t we?
26657A Daimler, I believe?"
26657And what if, not content with destroying himself, he were to carry with him to destruction the girl who rode beside him on his car?
26657And, turning to Evie, he said,"I presume you will not allow Sutgrove to take any risks of that sort now, Miss Maitland?"
26657Are you asleep, sir?"
26657Are you motoring?"
26657Are you prepared for a little amateur burglary, Sutgrove?"
26657As I did so the occupant of the car shouted out,"That you, Sutgrove?
26657Bear him a grudge?
26657Been on the same job as myself?"
26657Besides, it seems scarcely fair on the girl, does it?"
26657But had n''t you better have lunch first?"
26657But how is it possible to describe a journey at the pace we were making?
26657But how?
26657But what brings you down here?
26657But you said something of observations made by the August victim?"
26657Can I be of any assistance?"
26657Can you manage a hot bath and a bed for me to- night?"
26657Colonel Maitland the gourmet?"
26657Did he say where he was going?"
26657Do n''t you think the air is cooler already?
26657Do you know that the glass I drank-- was it one glass or two?--gave me the most vivid dream I have enjoyed since my childhood?"
26657Does he affect you in the same way?"
26657Got a puncture?
26657Had he not told Evie that on the third day he would return, bidding her be ready for him?
26657Have n''t you ever heard that Mannering spends all his spare time in experimental motor construction?"
26657Have you any idea of our whereabouts?"
26657Have you got the tools?"
26657He always was that, was n''t he, Sarah?
26657He may endeavour to dispose of some of his plunder, or he may reappear, but until then----""What do you suggest?"
26657He stepped on to the car, and, taking my seat, I asked him tersely--"Where to?"
26657He was for him unusually excited, and, without reply to my greeting, save with a silent hand grip, he said--"Seen anything of Mannering?"
26657He would be bound to get his batteries recharged somewhere and, with a car of such remarkable shape, how is he to do so without exciting remark?
26657How much of that port did you drink?"
26657I am sure you would not have obeyed so tamely?"
26657I suppose there is no one residing near whom you would consider a likely object of suspicion?"
26657Is it Mannering?"
26657Is it indeed you?"
26657Is there any hope for me?"
26657Mannering?"
26657Mannering?"
26657Meanwhile what were we to do?
26657Meanwhile, you have not yet told me how you learned of my presence here?"
26657Nothing tangible and yet---- Oh, Mr. Sutgrove, do you-- have you ever experienced a presentiment of something dreadful happening?
26657Now, I knew he never had such a thing----""I suppose you know exactly what jewellery he has?"
26657Revolver handy?"
26657Sutgrove?"
26657Sutgrove?"
26657The engine is a model of the one I have designed for the new car which I mentioned-- last night was it?
26657The explanation could hardly please him, would it?"
26657The third time he blurted out--"About that suggestion of yours-- taking night rides on the chance of being held up----""Yes?"
26657Then, after a momentary hesitation, she added,"Is-- is anything wrong?"
26657Was it indeed Mannering''s voice, or were my ears deceiving me?
26657What could he have done?"
26657What course was open to me but confession?
26657What has happened to you?
26657What if he intended to end his life and his journey together?
26657What is it you want?"
26657What is the matter?"
26657What should you do?"
26657What sort of establishment does he keep?"
26657What would have been the use?
26657What, then, had he done with it?
26657What-- what?"
26657When we had done laughing, Winter turned to me and said--"Sutgrove, old fellow, would you mind punching me?
26657Whence he came?
26657Where did he say he was going?"
26657Where did we leave him?"
26657Whither he went?
26657Who could help feeling happy?
26657Who knows?
26657Who the owner of the pirate car was?
26657Why did you disappear?
26657Why had I listened to Winter?
26657Why should I have allowed myself to be persuaded to play the part of coward, merely that Winter''s car should have been saved from injury?
26657Will you believe it?
26657You can make things exceedingly unpleasant for him if you like; but frankly, is it worth while?
26657You wanted to make me talk, eh?"
26657he muttered"What is it?"
26657run away now, and let your friend Mannering have a clear field?
26657said the stranger again;"do you give me your words?"
19020Am I my brother''s keeper, or even his underkeeper? 19020 Am I to speak, or is Middleton?"
19020Am I too late?
19020Am I, then,he gasped--"is it true?--am I free-- to marry?"
19020Am I?
19020And Sir John?
19020And after that?
19020And all is the same as before between us?
19020And do you know that I am suspected?
19020And do you really think he is telling it to her now?
19020And has he paid it back since?
19020And have you been holding the wool and tying up the flowers, as you so graphically described, ever since you left Atherstone in July?
19020And how are the guinea- pigs?
19020And how have you arrived at such an uncharitable opinion of a comparative stranger?
19020And how is Lord Hope- Acton?
19020And how long, pray, are you going to yacht with Miss Wyndham?
19020And if she was,said Evelyn, reprovingly,"is not that an extra reason for his giving up anything that will remind people of it?
19020And in my sphere? 19020 And now?"
19020And so you are going to winter in Rome?
19020And so you distrusted her before, Evelyn? 19020 And so you thought, I suppose, that if your father had made a just will you could have retrieved yourself?"
19020And that dreadful man?
19020And that tiresome letter-- did it want an answer?
19020And the''Cold Blast''?
19020And what are you going to do now you''ve got here?
19020And what we spoke of at dinner?
19020And where is Aurelia?
19020And will they really be my very own?
19020And you wo n''t give me up because evil is spoken against me?
19020Anxious about friends, sir?
19020Any news about the''Frisco forgery case?
19020Any news of Master Raymond?
19020Anything more you would like to know?
19020Are the roads practicable?
19020Are you aware,he said at last to Ralph, pointing to the crescent,"that those diamonds are of enormous value?
19020Are you coming to church this afternoon?
19020Are you going to give me up?
19020Are you there, Evelyn?
19020At Atherstone, is he? 19020 At night as well?"
19020At the proper time?
19020Better?
19020But how could I tell-- how could I tell?
19020But what on earth brought him here?
19020But where?
19020But who could it have been? 19020 But you have a suspicion?"
19020But you wo n''t go?
19020Ca n''t you?
19020Can I be of any use to you?
19020Can you show me where I am?
19020Can you tell it?
19020Carr? 19020 Come, Evelyn, what is it?"
19020Could not the station- master send us down on an engine?
19020Cousin Ruth, there''s something creeping among the trees-- don''t you hear it? 19020 Danvers,"he continued, hurriedly,"are you still there?"
19020Dare,said Mr. Alwynn, sternly,"what excuse have you for never mentioning this before-- before you became engaged to Ruth?"
19020Dead?
19020Did you see much of him in London?
19020Do I know the old, old one, Uncle Charles?
19020Do I?
19020Do n''t you know that Carr slept with me down at the lodge?
19020Do n''t you know?
19020Do you dislike walking?
19020Do you know why I am glad?
19020Do you know, Uncle Charles, Ninny''s sister with the wart on her cheek has been to tea? 19020 Do you mean the 9 train, which you can catch by the 8.2 from here?"
19020Do you mean to say you are going to Norway?
19020Do you mean to say you are not going down to Stoke Moreton for Ralph''s wedding?
19020Do you mean to say,he said, sharply,"that Carr did not sleep in the house last night?"
19020Do you really like it, or do you sometimes get tired of it?
19020Do you suspect any one in particular?
19020Do you think he will?
19020Do you think he would come?
19020Do you wish to speak to Ruth?
19020Does he? 19020 Does it suit you?"
19020Does n''t he, Ralph?
19020Does n''t he?
19020For what reason?
19020From the library?
19020Give the boy half a crown, will you? 19020 Grace,"said Lady Hope- Acton, with dreadful distinctness, advancing to meet her daughter,"has he spoken?"
19020Has Molly gone with her?
19020Has he character enough, and perseverance enough, and money enough? 19020 Has it been sent yet?"
19020Has it? 19020 Has n''t it been delicious?"
19020Have I done too much? 19020 Have I really-- surely, surely, I was not so abject as to_ faint_?"
19020Have n''t you heard about-- Sir John-- last night?
19020Have not you confessed under your own name?
19020Have some? 19020 Have you an inventory of the jewels?"
19020Have you been gone long? 19020 Have you had bad letters?"
19020Have you no relations?
19020Have you no tongue?
19020Have you seen Ralph anywhere?
19020Have_ all_ come back by this train?
19020He is better, then, I hope?
19020He is engaged to his cousin, Miss Derrick, is n''t he?
19020His mother was a Frenchwoman, was n''t she? 19020 How could I expect that you should remember all at once?
19020How did he meet her?
19020How did they get you?
19020How far is it?
19020How is it you remained behind?
19020How is my father?
19020How long afterwards was it that you were divorced from her?
19020How long?
19020How should I know?
19020How?
19020How?
19020I came to ask you how much you lent Raymond?
19020I feel as if I ought to have natural advisers somewhere; but who are they? 19020 I know Evelyn thinks so,"said Aurelia, in a whisper,"though she tries not to show it, because-- because--""Because what?"
19020I suppose everybody has left town by this time?
19020I suppose the second son was specially mentioned, Middleton?
19020I suppose, in that case, Miss Deyncourt is the person whose name you would not mention the other day?
19020I used to see a good deal of him before he went to-- was it America? 19020 I wonder, now, if Cotton at the lodge has heard anything of the poachers again this year, round Arleigh way?"
19020I wonder, now,interposed Ruth, quietly,"how the rheumatism is getting on?
19020I wonder,said Charles to himself,"why people ca n''t allow me to manage my own affairs?
19020Is Mrs. Alwynn suffering?
19020Is he a poacher?
19020Is he? 19020 Is he?"
19020Is it about what happened last night?
19020Is it possible?
19020Is it rheumatism again?
19020Is it there?
19020Is it true( Mabel is full of it) that he is engaged, or on the point of being so, to one of Lord Hope- Acton''s daughters?
19020Is it very bad?
19020Is it?
19020Is no one with him?
19020Is she going to act?
19020Is that all?
19020Is there anything I can do? 19020 Is there no mistake?"
19020Is this a forgery, Dare?
19020Is this person in the drawing- room?
19020Is your hand much hurt?
19020It is a shame to come in- doors now, is n''t it?
19020It is a very cross journey, is n''t it? 19020 It is very sad, is n''t it?"
19020It''s a pity to trouble her, is n''t it?
19020Kind to Miss Deyncourt, was he?
19020May n''t I tell Ralph? 19020 Might any of you gentlemen be going to London, sir?"
19020Might we see it first?
19020Miss Deyncourt, will she be there?
19020Mrs. Alwynn does not want you to leave Atherstone to- morrow, does she?
19020Musing?
19020Near_ Arleigh_?
19020No; but then conversations never are finished, are they? 19020 Not that man who has come to live at Vandon?"
19020Now where would you advise me to keep them?
19020Now, Evelyn, I ask you as a favor,said Charles, as I came in, moving towards her on his knees,"will you come a little closer when I am down?
19020Now,holding out his hand,"do you promise never, et cetera, et cetera, without first consulting your_ friends_?"
19020Oh, he did, did he? 19020 Oh, he didn''t-- did he?"
19020Payable to order or bearer?
19020Perhaps we suspect the same person?
19020Perhaps you yourself sing a_ little_?
19020Raymond,he said, in a low distinct voice,"what is it you wish to say?
19020Ruth, did you think I should tell?
19020See, Charles? 19020 Shall we wait and tell them that story, Uncle Charles?"
19020She knows, then?
19020She''s not_ staying_ here?
19020So you listened, I suppose?
19020Tell me who some of the people are, will you?
19020That was when you were staying with the Danvers, was n''t it, Ruth?
19020The fact is-- did not Sir George tell you?
19020The night express?
19020Then it is the second son who is going to be married, is it? 19020 Then who is this Ralph whom you have never seen, and to whom you are leaving so much?"
19020There is a train which leaves Slumberleigh station for London a little after twelve, is not there?
19020There is nothing indiscreet in mentioning a slip; is there, Evelyn? 19020 There_ was n''t_?"
19020These bills, my friend,he would say at last, tapping them in deep dejection, and raising his eyebrows into his hair,"how do we pay them?"
19020They have him? 19020 This poor unfortunate, this Stephens, why did he not tell you all this the_ first_ time you went to see him in the afternoon?"
19020To sing, or to listen to the voice of-- of--"Of what? 19020 To whom?"
19020Tracked him out, has she? 19020 Uncle John can go by himself, and we will do just what we like while he is away, wo n''t we?"
19020Uncle John,said Ruth next morning, taking Mr. Alwynn aside after breakfast,"we are leaving by the early train, are we not?"
19020Was I there? 19020 Was that punch?"
19020Wear what, my angel? 19020 Well, my dear, and did ye ever see the like of that?
19020Well?
19020Well?
19020Were any of the servants about?
19020What Christian name?
19020What are these rights you talk of?
19020What are they estimated at?
19020What are we to do now?
19020What are your grounds for suspecting Carr?
19020What do you mean by coming here?
19020What do you mean by not coming down and paying your respects sooner?
19020What do you owe?
19020What do you say, Arthur?
19020What do you want?
19020What if I refuse to go?
19020What is awful?
19020What is it, Aunt Fanny?
19020What is it? 19020 What is it?"
19020What kind of accident?
19020What name?
19020What on earth do you mean by going off in that way?
19020What was he looking for?
19020What was the meaning of it all?
19020What was the thief after?
19020What''s a year''s absence? 19020 What''s incompatibility?"
19020What, may I ask, is my proper sphere?
19020What, studying?
19020What?
19020What?
19020When did it leave off snowing?
19020When is it for?
19020When is it to be, this school- feast?
19020When was it?
19020Where are you going?
19020Where can it have been?
19020Where is Charles?
19020Where is Charles?
19020Where is Evelyn? 19020 Where is Lady Mary now?"
19020Where is Miss Deyncourt?
19020Where is Molly?
19020Where is Ralph?
19020Where is he at this instant?
19020Where is this man, this Stephens?
19020Where was it sent to?
19020Where''s father?
19020Where?
19020Whereabout will that be?
19020Who is Ruth?
19020Who is going to Greenacre, and who is going to Slumberleigh?
19020Who is that man?
19020Who is that tall man with the fair mustache? 19020 Who is that?"
19020Why are you here now?
19020Why are you here?
19020Why did you walk so far this hot afternoon, my dear? 19020 Why had a train been allowed to start if it was to be overturned by a snow- drift?
19020Why not run?
19020Why not?
19020Why should I go?
19020Why, Ruth,she said, actually noticing the alteration in her appearance,"is your head bad again?"
19020Why?
19020Will all the passengers come back by this train?
19020Will he do it?
19020Will somebody have the goodness to restrain Middleton if he gets excited?
19020Will you promise not to tell any one?
19020Will you?
19020Will you?
19020Without any reason for it? 19020 Would she give him up?"
19020Would you like to see your sister?
19020Yes, and I dare say, Ruth-- I am not finding fault, far from it-- I dare say he made himself very agreeable for the time being?
19020You also sing duets? 19020 You also sing, Miss Deyncourt?"
19020You and Mr. Alwynn also go to the school- feast to- morrow?
19020You are bareheaded,he said, suddenly;"is there any"--looking round--"any shade we could take refuge under?"
19020You are going to London, are you not?
19020You are going to Vandon?
19020You are just going?
19020You are not going away, are you?
19020You are not tired, Miss Deyncourt?
19020You believe what I say, Ruth?
19020You do n''t mean to say the wretched passengers have been there all night?
19020You do n''t mind?
19020You do n''t say so?
19020You do suspect some one, then?
19020You go to England to- morrow?
19020You have left nothing behind, I hope?
19020You have no recollection of a certain ball after some theatricals at Stoke Moreton, which you and your sister came to as little girls in pigtails?
19020You observe that I am here?
19020You quite understand, Ruth, though I have not mentioned it so far, that you are engaged to marry me?
19020You remember the first evening you were here?
19020You wo n''t mind singing, will you, Ruth?
19020You''re not nervous, are you?
19020You, Charles? 19020 You?"
19020_ Am I?_ Molly,with great gravity, as Molly appeared,"yes, you may sit on my knee; but do n''t wriggle.
19020_ What work was there for her to do? 19020 _ Who_ is that?"
19020''Black letter size about''--where is it?
19020After all this, you_ will_ ask her?"
19020After sitting with her, and reading the usual favorite chapter in the big Bible, and answering the usual question of"Any news of Master Raymond?"
19020Am I right?
19020Am I to have no answer?"
19020Among his Lowestoft cups and saucers?
19020And are you glad or sorry at the prospect of leaving your Cranford?"
19020And as to herself?
19020And how did you say Mrs. Cotton of the lodge might be, miss, as I hear is but poorly too?"
19020And now that he had come, would he make the crooked straight?
19020And now, if she would get that green wool out of the red plush iron( which really was a work- box-- such a droll idea, was n''t it?
19020And now,"with sudden weariness as his excitement evaporated,"all is, then, over for the night?
19020And that new gentleman was so kind about the teapots, was n''t he?
19020And that_ second_ promise, which she had made to Dare, that she would still marry him if he were free to marry?
19020And the others?
19020And the-- the other one-- Stephens?
19020And was Ruth beginning to like him?
19020And were you there?"
19020And why did you not mention that fact a little sooner?"
19020And why had he still got on his evening clothes at four o''clock in the morning?
19020And you remember that beautiful pig we killed last week?
19020And you saw a good deal of her?"
19020And you think money would set you right, do you?"
19020And, talking of hair, did you ever see anything like Mr. Dare''s?
19020Any news of him?"
19020Any one hurt?"
19020Are they desolate?
19020Are they really nice?
19020Are you coming in, Uncle Charles?
19020Are you content now, Aurelia?"
19020Are you happy in your engagement with-- Quite content?
19020Are you not going to dance any more?"
19020As Aurelia went up- stairs I saw her beckon Ralph and whisper to him:"Am I really to wear them?"
19020As the old woman disappeared, courtesying, he lingered to say, in a whisper,"Do you know him, sir?"
19020At Henley, were we not in the same boat?
19020At Hurlingham, did we not watch polo together, and together drink our tea?
19020At Lord''s, did not I tear her new muslin garment in helping her up one of those poultry- ladders on the Torringtons''drag?
19020At the meeting of the four- in- hands, was not she on the box- seat beside me?
19020Besides, what can you accuse him of?
19020Besides, who would suspect their being there?
19020But as I am anxious to yield gracefully, will you substitute the word''friends''for''natural advisers''?
19020But he did not look well, Ruth, did he?
19020But how to make her go away?"
19020But still, you know, one would not like to make great_ friends_ with a Catholic, would one, Ruth?
19020But what did it matter?
19020But what was to be done?
19020But what?
19020By- the- way, are you aware we are going straight into a nest of private theatricals at Stoke Moreton?
19020By- the- way, did you see his face?
19020By----, she squeezed every dollar out of him before she let him go, and now she''s got him again, has she?
19020Ca n''t you see that?"
19020Can a kingdom divided against itself stand?
19020Can we, Uncle Charles?"
19020Charles, you never_ could_ have believed I would marry_ him_, after all?"
19020Come, what were you doing in the passage at that time of night?"
19020Cook told him to go along at first, which was n''t kind, was it?
19020Cottage property did not pay; and would Mr. Dare kindly tell him where the money for repairing them was to come from?
19020Could not you brighten it up with a few cherry- colored bows about it, or a sash?
19020Could she do better with them?
19020Could this stern, determined man be the same apathetic, sarcastic being whom she had hitherto known?
19020Curious, is n''t it?
19020Did he act well?
19020Did he remember the deep sunken wall which, broken down in places, still separated the wilderness of the garden from the wilderness outside?
19020Did not I dance three times with each of you, and suggest chicken at supper instead of lobster salad?
19020Did not you see how Ralph tried to stop me when he thought I was committing myself by accusing Carr, who, it seems, was quite out of the question?
19020Did not you think he acted well?"
19020Did she know what she was pushing him into?
19020Did she live all by herself, and was I going to stay with her for long?
19020Did ye take note of his head?
19020Did you marry that woman?"
19020Do n''t I know the stubbornness of your heart?
19020Do n''t you remember how you held forth that night in the wood?
19020Do n''t you think so, Lady Carmian?"
19020Do n''t you wish you and me could sing together like that?"
19020Do we wait for them here?"
19020Do you know anything?
19020Do you know why you like her?"
19020Do you not think the simplest thing, under the circumstances, would be-- to say it?"
19020Do you remember?"
19020Do you think we shall really get them back?"
19020Does not the lobster salad awaken memories?
19020Dying?
19020Edifying, is n''t it?
19020Eh?
19020Eh?
19020England, Ireland, Scotland, or Wales?
19020Evelyn and Middleton, will you have the goodness to come with me?"
19020Evelyn, are you pouring out some tea for Mr. Carr?
19020Evelyn?
19020For instance,"continued Mr. Alwynn, making a rush as his courage began to fail him,"it struck me, Ruth, the other day-- Sunday, was it?
19020For some possible ideal romantic future; for the prince of a fairy story?
19020General Marston, Colonel Middleton, will you have the goodness to go and glean up these young people?
19020Great heavens, where is he?
19020Had I been awake only an hour?
19020Had he fallen ill and died out there, or met his death suddenly, perhaps in some wild adventure under an assumed name?
19020Had her release come?
19020Had it come at the eleventh hour?
19020Had she a maid with her?"
19020Have I not danced with her at balls innumerable?
19020Have I not taken her in to dinner five several times?
19020Have I not, in fact, seen as much of her as-- of several others?"
19020Have I said enough to soften your harsh judgment of yesterday?"
19020Have you a copy of the register of divorce as well?"
19020Have you forgotten what that was?"
19020Have you got them all right?"
19020Have you got them with you?"
19020Have you often seen Carr act before?"
19020Have you seen to- day''s papers?"
19020Have you spoken?"
19020He did not suffer any pain?"
19020He felt as if he were the central figure( when was he_ not_ a central figure?)
19020He filled the big teapot, did he?"
19020He had bought it very dear, for when in all his life had he ever bought anything cheap?
19020He had not a beard, had he?
19020He said one of you had known him in his better days, at-- Oxford, was it?"
19020He seems to be leaping on her feet a good deal, and she looks as if she were telling him so, does not she?
19020He started up, and, wheeling round in the direction of the sound, called out, in sudden anger,"Who is there?"
19020How could he warn Raymond to lie close?
19020How did he come there?"
19020How did you grow to feel content?"
19020How is he?"
19020How is your head getting on?
19020How many more seconds can you keep it up?
19020How much is it?"
19020How much longer can you keep it up?
19020How old is this cousin of yours, Miss Deyncourt?"
19020How should he, Waters, know?
19020How should he?"
19020How was I to manage to speak to Evelyn alone, and without Charles''s knowledge?
19020I am a humble Christian, now I am so near heaven-- eh, Middleton?
19020I dare say there was not a creature who went from here by the last train last night?"
19020I have never told you a lie, have I?"
19020I know that what is firmness in a man is obstinacy in a woman, so do not on your side be too firm, or, who knows?
19020I remember him very slim and elegant- looking; but I suppose he is quite elderly now, and has lost his figure?
19020I say, Jervis,"calling after him,"any particulars about the accident?
19020I say,"he added, quickly,"how about yours?
19020I say,"he added, suddenly,"you would not care to see them, would you?
19020I say,"with a sudden inspiration,"you would n''t go over and cheer her up, would you?
19020I suppose I may take Othello?"
19020I suppose,"--to Ralph and Evelyn--"you are going to Greenacre with Aunt Mary?
19020I think the headache will be better now, eh?"
19020I wonder if he is a Roman Catholic?"
19020I wonder what time it is?
19020I would not have come here if I had had the least idea that--""You can not mean to say that you had never seen that I-- what I-- felt for you?"
19020I, on my side, might ask what_ you_ were doing walking about the passages in your socks at four o''clock this morning?
19020In other words, was it not a trifle weak?
19020Intent to rob?
19020Is Vic chained up?
19020Is he dead?"
19020Is he worse?"
19020Is she in stronger health?"
19020It was kindly, amiable, pleasant; but was it strong?
19020It was sweet to see her read to Molly; but did she never take up a book or a paper?
19020It''s very late, but still-- could you?
19020Lord Polesworth?
19020May I give you an arm to the hall?"
19020May I introduce you to my cousin Miss Derrick?"
19020Might he accompany her?
19020Miss Deyncourt, can I accommodate you with a threepenny bit?
19020Molly, have you got your penny?
19020Molly, what is a fool?"
19020Must the whole thing be given up?
19020No?
19020No?
19020Now then, Molly, have you got your prayer- book?
19020Now,_ are_ we all ready to start?"
19020Of course Ralph is still left,"she added, as an after- thought;"but it wo n''t be so perfect, will it?"
19020Oh, Cousin Ruth, what shall we do?"
19020Oh, you''re not going to walk beside, are you?"
19020Once he turned suddenly to his brother, and said, as if unable to keep silence on what was in his mind,"What was her object?"
19020Ought you to make her so?"
19020Out of them all, which was it?"
19020Perhaps Mr. Dare might like to put a little of his private fortune into the cottages and the drains and the new pumps?
19020Quite a little party, was n''t it, Ruth?
19020Quite satisfied?
19020Rather brown, is n''t it, on one side?
19020Ruth,"--with great solemnity--"do you love him even as he loves you?"
19020See, Molly?
19020Serious?"
19020Shall I tell him you are too tired to- night to see any one?"
19020Should he arrive in time to hear it?
19020Should he arrive in time?
19020Should he do it-- now?
19020Should he go to church?
19020Should they look at the pictures first-- now-- no time like the present?
19020Sir Charles Danvers was staying there at the same time?"
19020Sir George is in the drawing- room, is he?
19020So he is to marry Ruth, is he?"
19020So you were the kind man, name unknown, who took such care of Anna and me?
19020Suppose now you were to come back with me to tea to- day?"
19020Surely you have not forgotten that?"
19020Tell her I have gone to church, will you?
19020The houses were bad?
19020Then Evelyn came on-- But who cares to read a description of a play?
19020Then do you mean to say there was collusion between the two?"
19020Then more briskly, with a new access of dabbing,"How is the faintness going on?"
19020There does not happen to be any one else whom you feel it would be your duty to marry?"
19020There''s just room for you to squeeze in between Ruth and me-- isn''t there, Ruth?
19020These death- bed scenes always have an element of interest, have n''t they?
19020They would say no more-- but would the new squire walk up- stairs?
19020Uncle Charles, what_ do_ you think?
19020Uncle John?
19020Used she, in the palmy days that were no more( when she was not Ralph''s wife), so mildly but so firmly to adhere to a pre- conceived opinion?
19020Was Mr. Carr one of Lord Barrantyne''s sons, or was he one of the Crampshire Carrs?
19020Was he tall?
19020Was it possible to recall him to himself even yet?
19020Was not Kensington-- was that the name of the street?--rather out of the world?
19020Was not the little Molly of the school- feast their child?
19020Was she looking as lovely as usual?"
19020Was she never going to put self on one side?
19020Was she young and lovely, or was she getting on?
19020Was something troubling her?
19020Was that the first chime or the second?
19020Was this the same sun which was shining in upon her?
19020Was this the same world?
19020Well, and if he is, I can make a final rush through the corn, ca n''t I?
19020Well, then, for what?
19020Well, what then?
19020Well, what then?
19020Well?
19020Well?"
19020Were they the same eyes that but now had met his, half blind with tears?
19020What business had he to come down to tea in that absurd amber plush smoking- suit, just because the elder ladies had begged to see it?
19020What can be finer than September when she is in a good- humor?
19020What concern were they of hers?
19020What could Charles have been after?
19020What could her object have been?"
19020What did it matter?
19020What do you owe?"
19020What does it matter if you can get over best by assuming a masculine equestrian attitude for a moment on the top bar?
19020What does it matter, now I''m dying?"
19020What follows?
19020What had happened during that hour to reverse the steadfast resolve which she had made then?
19020What had the company been about not to make itself aware of the state of the line?
19020What had they to do with her?
19020What have I done since I met you first, three months ago, to justify you in holding me in contempt?"
19020What have you been after all this time?"
19020What have you got hold of?"
19020What have you to wear?
19020What is it?"
19020What mattered it for the moment whether the pump was put up or not, or whether the cottages by the river were protected from the floods?
19020What new songs were the birds practising outside?
19020What of that?
19020What on earth is the meaning of it all?"
19020What on earth shall I say to Ralph and Evelyn when I get back?
19020What was coming?
19020What was he that he should stick at such a trifle?
19020What was it but doing evil that good might come?
19020What was it, after all, but a suppression of truth-- a kind of lie?
19020What was it-- what could it be that Raymond had still to tell him?
19020What was poor Willie, who had only-- Ralph need not laugh; there was nothing to laugh at-- what was Willie to this?
19020What was she holding back for?
19020What was the good of being in love, of having in view a social aim of such a praiseworthy nature, if no one were aware of the same?
19020What were the others doing?
19020What were you doing when Middleton saw you?"
19020What words would be strong enough; what ink would be black enough to carry conviction to her mind?"
19020What''s the last news?"
19020What, Brown?
19020When I told Jane about them--""Oh, then, Jane-- I beg her pardon, Miss Middleton-- was aware you had them with you?"
19020When did we meet before?"
19020When had he acted?
19020When was that?"
19020Where are they?
19020Where are they?
19020Where does it all go to?
19020Where had he acted?
19020Where is he at this moment?
19020Where is he?"
19020Where is she?"
19020Where is the bag they go in?"
19020Where is this treasure concealed?"
19020Where the devil has my book got to?"
19020Which are you going to, Charles?"
19020Which is it to be, Molly?"
19020Which of them all could have done a thing like that?
19020Who cared for the family legends now?
19020Who cares for a recital of what she saw?
19020Who has said that light eyes can not be impassioned?
19020Who is it?
19020Who was to do it?
19020Who, excepting Carr, was a stranger among us?
19020Whom do you naturally suspect?"
19020Why are you here, when I wrote to tell you that she had promised me she would never give you money again without advice?
19020Why ca n''t people leave them open?
19020Why did not he come back when she wanted him so terribly?
19020Why do you have pins in your mouth, Mrs. Jones?
19020Why had that innocent and not unfamiliar phrase become so intolerable when she heard it again this morning?
19020Why should a man with his past begin to split hairs?
19020Why was this?"
19020Why, you ai n''t never going yet?
19020Will it take luggage?"
19020Will you kindly tell me how much it was?"
19020Wo n''t the other gentleman,"turning to Mr. Alwynn,"come and warm himself?
19020Wo n''t you drink it first?"
19020Worse, was he?
19020Would Miss Deyncourt sing?
19020Would he come?
19020Would he never come in?
19020Would he never come?
19020Would he see it in the uncertain light?
19020Would n''t they?"
19020Would she believe this vile calumny?
19020Would she fire up, or would she, like so many women, join in abuse of her own sex?
19020Would she give him up?
19020Would the new broom sweep clean?
19020Would there ever be any news of Raymond?
19020Would you believe it?
19020Would you know him again if the policeman succeeds in finding him?"
19020You are going to your uncle in Dublin, are not you?
19020You do n''t feel like spots, do you, Cousin Ruth?
19020You had never, I believe, any intention of acquiring what in law we call an American domicil?
19020You hear, Evelyn?"
19020You must stay the night, now you are here; must n''t he, Fanny?"
19020You remember my sprained ankle?
19020You say she is not your wife?"
19020You sing duets?"
19020You will not say anything to her till I come back, till I return with proof that I am free, as I told her?
19020You will say nothing?"
19020You wo n''t?
19020You would hardly have seen him at all since you landed, then?"
19020You would like a few moments for reflection?
19020_ Do you know where I found it?_''and she looked hard at me.
19020_ Ting, ting, ting!_"Mr. Alwynn is getting on his surplice, is he?
19020_ had_ he a beard?
19020and how are Mrs. Danvers and Lady Mary?
19020and is any one else staying there?
19020and was not Miss Deyncourt likewise staying with them?
19020and, my dear,_ are_ the dolls finished?"
19020are n''t they?"
19020but my soul''s adored--''""Is Middleton here?"
19020can it be that it is all over between him and Ruth?"
19020continued Charles, bitterly,"when you swore to me in July that if I would pay your passage out again to America you would let her alone in future?
19020he gasped out, breathing hard,"will you, both of you, come to my father''s room at once?
19020he said again, looking round and swinging the bag;"what on earth am I to do with them?
19020in old days, used she in that same gentle voice to utter such platitudes, such little stereotyped remarks?
19020it is your first appearance, is it not?
19020said Dare, perceiving him,"and she-- the-- is she gone?"
19020she exclaimed,"who is that white waistcoat walking with your uncle?"
19020she said, clasping her hands together,"do you really think so?
19020so Carr knew you had charge of them, did he?"
19020there is one point, as we are on the subject, that--""Yes, yes?"
19020who could it have been?"
19020who is that with them?
19020why already is it not given out?"
19020you can swear still, can you?
19020you do n''t wish it rubbed any more?
26155''But in case of my death?'' 26155 ''Is this honest money, and am I assured that I am not becoming the custodian of stolen funds?''
26155A dead man?
26155A nice game, ai n''t it?
26155About what?
26155About what?
26155Accept it as a trust?
26155Am I obliged to you?
26155Am I?
26155Am I?
26155And are you going to explain all my little fictions?
26155And did he never give you any data?
26155And did you not do so?
26155And generally a man of courage?
26155And have you that picture now?
26155And made a search?
26155And that letter of instructions?
26155And the counterfeit was perfect?
26155And the letter would open up everything?
26155And what does this all mean?
26155And you are not down here_ picking up facts for Jake''s granddaughter_?
26155And you are not mistaken?
26155And you are prepared to surrender the fortune?
26155And you can guess?
26155And you claim a great memory?
26155And you do not remember any of the names on those papers?
26155And you failed to find it?
26155And you have kept it faithfully?
26155And you have learned all this?
26155And you have not seen or heard from him since?
26155And you remember all about the incident clearly?
26155And you want me to find the owner of the fortune?
26155Are you well acquainted with Jersey law, sir?
26155Beyond all question?
26155But his railroad ticket? 26155 But how is it they are not blood- stained?"
26155But never made a search?
26155But tell me, when did it happen?
26155But the securities-- did they not contain a name?
26155But was n''t she?
26155But where does your criminality come in? 26155 But you must have some basis for these questions?"
26155Can I examine the clothes?
26155Can I see it?
26155Did he commit suicide?
26155Did he not have any money?
26155Did n''t you learn when you opened the letter?
26155Did n''t your first detective mention them?
26155Did the man give you no intimation of his purpose in making such a strange contract?
26155Did the man never turn up?
26155Did you make no record of the names?
26155Do I? 26155 Do you know what you have done?"
26155Do you recall his appearance?
26155Do you see this?
26155Have you formed a plan?
26155Have you found it?
26155Have you made up your mind that the man who was killed is the individual you seek?
26155He did?
26155He had gray hair?
26155He wore a high beaver hat, I am sure?
26155He wore very plain clothes?
26155Her name would be Canfield?
26155How do you know?
26155How is that?
26155How long since any one was engaged on the case?
26155How old are you, sir?
26155How old was the man who called on you?
26155How so?
26155How?
26155How?
26155How?
26155How?
26155How?
26155How?
26155How?
26155I am not sorry I''ve taught an officer of the law a lesson; I suppose you claim to be a detective?
26155I am not?
26155I am?
26155I am?
26155I am?
26155I do; and do you see this?
26155I have not?
26155I have said those are the clothes worn by the strange man who visited you forty years ago?
26155I see, it is a will case?
26155I see; and those boots were covered with black mud?
26155I will not have to prove my identity?
26155I will not?
26155I will?
26155I will?
26155I''ve been making some inquiries?
26155Is he living?
26155Is that all?
26155Is that all?
26155Is that so? 26155 Is that so?"
26155Is there a crime involved?
26155Is there a mistake?
26155Is there any way that will enable you to give me a certain answer?
26155It is?
26155It is?
26155Jacob Canfield is dead?
26155Let me see,said Jack,"when did you start the diary?"
26155Looked through?
26155Mr. Berwick, can I trust you?
26155Never mind where I found it; what have I found?
26155No doubt; but, sir, while searching were you as_ positive then_ as you are now that you had not removed the letter?
26155No facts?
26155No, I have not yet, but I''ve a question to ask you: What is your name?
26155Now mark well this next question, sir: Did you notice any white soil?
26155Oh, I must earn it?
26155Oh, I see, you are a newspaper man?
26155Oh, I see; but he wore low shoes?
26155Oh, I was partly right?
26155Oh, he wore shoes?
26155Oh, that''s all?
26155Oh, that''s it?
26155Oh, you are?
26155Oh, you did?
26155Oh, you have?
26155Oh, you once thought it possible?
26155On your honor?
26155One word as a matter of precaution: sir, your heart is perfectly sound?
26155Pay me?
26155Shall I tell you?
26155She was a child of old Canfield''s son?
26155So I thought, and now one word more: why are you seeking facts about a man who died forty years ago?
26155So they said?
26155So you have n''t decided whether I am under obligations to you or not?
26155Suppose there is money in it?
26155That is your only crime?
26155The dead come to accuse you for negligence?
26155The girl, you mean?
26155The identification would have been perfect?
26155The letter was lost?
26155Then he did admit the possibility that there might arise a claimant ere the expiration of the twenty years?
26155Then how did you learn? 26155 Then this explains the mystery?"
26155Then we have verified the theory?
26155Then you dare intimate that you wo n''t leave this room?
26155Then you have found the letter?
26155Then you have really made a discovery?
26155Then you really have made a discovery?
26155Then you recognize me?
26155Then you were on detective work when you went around from house to house?
26155Then you will not object to my making a search?
26155Then you will retire?
26155Then, why do you seek to establish the facts of the accident?
26155There is no mistake?
26155They are?
26155Things went against him?
26155To a dead certainty?
26155To me?
26155We have?
26155What am I?
26155What are you after? 26155 What are you?"
26155What do you know about it?
26155What do you mean, sir? 26155 What do you mean?"
26155What do you mean?
26155What has dampened your hopes?
26155What have I done?
26155What is it?
26155What is the matter, sir?
26155What is this?
26155What is your clue?
26155What is your reason?
26155What leads you to hope?
26155What makes you think I am interested?
26155What makes you think so?
26155What more could you have done?
26155What then?
26155What was the character of the stories?
26155When can you ascertain?
26155Where did you find it?
26155Where did you find it?
26155Where did you look?
26155Where is he now? 26155 Where?"
26155Where?
26155Who are you?
26155Who are you?
26155Who has been giving you that story?
26155Why are you so sure?
26155Why do you always go thus armed?
26155Why do you ask that?
26155Why do you say so?
26155Why do you wish to interfere with such a nice game?
26155Why should I, sir?
26155Why?
26155Will you bet on it?
26155Will you tell me how he was unlucky?
26155Will you tell me what it is?
26155You are a detective?
26155You are a man of nerve?
26155You are absolutely certain that it is lost? 26155 You are certain?"
26155You are not getting discouraged?
26155You are not superstitious?
26155You are positive?
26155You are sure?
26155You are sure?
26155You are?
26155You are?
26155You can explain why?
26155You can guess?
26155You can?
26155You can?
26155You do n''t?
26155You have found Amalie Stevens?
26155You have learned the name of the man?
26155You have; but what was his name?
26155You have?
26155You have?
26155You mean it?
26155You mean it?
26155You recognize the man?
26155You remember a great many wrecks on this coast?
26155You said it was rumored that Jake had a deposit in New York which he concealed from his second- hand family?
26155You say the name is Amalie Stevens?
26155You so claim?
26155You think I am a detective?
26155You think so?
26155You were told all this?
26155You will find this girl, Amalie Stevens?
26155You will permit me to make the search?
26155You will?
26155You will?
26155You wish to find the letter?
26155You would not be overcome by a sudden surprise?
26155You''ve lived around here all your life?
26155You''ve only been seeking subscriptions?
26155Your name is John Alvarez?
26155Are you the heir, or did you meet the man, or do you know him, or did some one tell you, or am I dreaming?"
26155Berwick recognized our hero and said:"Hello, you here again?"
26155But tell me, is the girl living?"
26155Did you not receive some intimation from them?"
26155Do you know I will do things and then forget that I did?
26155Do you understand that?"
26155He asked:"Did you observe in the securities that they had been wet?"
26155He enjoyed the scene-- enjoyed it hugely-- and he said:"You will give me a chance?"
26155How did you cash those drafts on the London solicitors?
26155I do not believe she was a relative at all, and do you observe the suggestion?"
26155Is that your real name?"
26155Jack laughed and said:"What encourages you to think so?"
26155Jack proceeded and told his remarkable story, and Mr. Townsend said:"You have identified the man and you have located him?"
26155Now, sir, will you accept the trust?''
26155Surely that would have indicated his destination?"
26155The detective examined it closely, and finally asked:"Is this really and beyond doubt a picture of the grandchild?"
26155The old banker started and exclaimed in a tone of surprise:"I am mistaken?"
26155What became of that?
26155Where are you from?"
26155Who is this man?"
26155Who is this person?"
26155Why did you say they were black?"
26155Why, man, do n''t you know I could go and find out all I wanted to about Jake Canfield if I had any deep purpose?"
26155Will you trust me alone here until morning?"
26155Wonderful Man: Where did Jacob Canfield get this fortune?"
26155Wonderful, what have you discovered?"
26155Wonderful, what now?"
26155You certainly must have discovered something?"
26155You do not hold back a surprise for me?"
26155ejaculated Douglas, his eyes dilating,"do you mean that you will pay me ten dollars for just the little I''ve said to you?"
26155ejaculated Mr. Townsend,"young man, who are you-- what are you?"
26155then all your zeal was a''fake?''"
26155you recall that now?"
26155young man, are you a mind reader?"
26155young man, what is that you say?"
15356A conspiracy, Noel?
15356A kind of king?
15356A letter? 15356 A raclan?"
15356About Lady Agnes?
15356About what, my dear?
15356Afraid of what, darling?
15356Agnes does n''t speak of him?
15356Agnes will hear you; she is looking this way; ca n''t you see?
15356Ah, your are not married?
15356Ai n''t you well, Freddy? 15356 Am I so ugly then?"
15356And Kara is your love?
15356And after you have led such a luxurious life?
15356And do I not act a lie?
15356And do n''t the crooked need that same?
15356And do you see now how the estates can be freed without using Pine''s money, Agnes?
15356And for what reason?
15356And for why, my precious heart? 15356 And have I nothing to bear?"
15356And is it true that such money was entrusted and lost?
15356And is not that what I desire? 15356 And not the golden rye?
15356And now?
15356And suppose you took a fancy to come quietly and see your wife?
15356And the details of the murder?
15356And then?
15356And what about my late cousin''s philanthropic visit to Silver?
15356And what am I to say to Silver?
15356And what caused you to change your mind, dear?
15356And what do you here amongst the gentle Romany?
15356And what have I done?
15356And what is she?
15356And what would I do in the boro rye''s ken, my precious?
15356And who shot him?
15356And who wrote the letter?
15356And why not, Master Noel? 15356 And why should I have him in my house to work evil?
15356And why, Lady Agnes?
15356And would it be honorable on my part for me to keep the money of a man I despise because his will insults me?
15356And you are staying here?
15356Are there no footmarks?
15356Are things as bad as that?
15356Are you dead? 15356 Are you going to have your fortune told by the gypsies, dear?"
15356Are you mad?
15356Are you well enough to hear?
15356As what, if you do n''t mind my asking, Lambert?
15356Ask him,said Agnes, indicating the dwarf,"if he knows who murdered my late husband?"
15356Because she loves him?
15356Because the bullet fits the barrel of a revolver I gave to my cousin some twelve months ago?
15356Before our camp is changed, sister?
15356Brother?
15356But are we not selfish to let the family name be disgraced?
15356But he''s not at The Manor now?
15356But if Garvington wishes to know why you take such an interest in the gypsies, what am I to say?
15356But if I tell him--"Tell him what?
15356But if it is my forged handwriting?
15356But if the burglar is Noel?
15356But what can we do in the face of such danger?
15356But what will people say of your marrying so soon after Pine''s death?
15356But what? 15356 But where can I find you again?"
15356But who is it? 15356 But who set the trap?"
15356But why did she think of luring Sir Hubert to be shot?
15356But why does Garvington want to shoot Noel?
15356But why should he shoot Pine, to whom he owed so much?
15356But you do n''t believe that Freddy is guilty?
15356But your position?
15356But, Gentilla?
15356But, dear, how can I ask you to share my poverty?
15356By the way, ought n''t I to send the doctor in?
15356Ca n''t we silence her? 15356 Ca n''t you get some money from the person who now inherits?"
15356Ca n''t you guess? 15356 Ca n''t you write it yourself?"
15356Chaldea?
15356Chaldea?
15356Could you call it a portrait if an original did n''t exist?
15356Dear me, my lady, is it yourself?
15356Depend upon my keeping quiet until--"Until what? 15356 Did Chaldea know of the trap?"
15356Did I? 15356 Did Lady Agnes ask her husband to come here to see her privately?"
15356Did Sir Hubert tell you why he made such a provision?
15356Did he crush her on purpose, do you think?
15356Did he write a book on cookery?
15356Did the Gentile bring the gold, my sister?
15356Did you give me one, Noel?
15356Disgrace?
15356Do I deserve that answer, Noel, after what I have just said?
15356Do hermits paint?
15356Do they know you by your Gentile name?
15356Do you ask that, Garvington?
15356Do you confess the truth of Lord Garvington''s statement?
15356Do you forget that the body is yet in the house?
15356Do you know of any one who can imitate your handwriting?
15356Do you know who has inherited Pine''s money?
15356Do you love the family name better?
15356Do you mean to say that you are Pine''s grandmother?
15356Do you really believe that he hoped to manage Pine during the illness?
15356Do you think Chaldea wrote the letter?
15356Do you think that anything but the direst need brought me here?
15356Do you think you are acting wisely?
15356Do you want to be killed?
15356Do you wish me to see you often?
15356Do you? 15356 Does Agnes know these conditions?"
15356Does a clever man like you go to that emancipated woman for experience?
15356Does it need putting into words?
15356Does she know anything?
15356Does she love him?
15356Does the camp travel to- morrow, brother?
15356Drabbed?
15356Eh? 15356 Excited, what about?"
15356Felt safe?
15356For denouncing me?
15356For the ring, sister?
15356For what reason?
15356For what reason?
15356For what?
15356From what-- with what-- in what?
15356Gentilla, why are you spying on me and my husband?
15356Give you what?
15356Going to stand a siege?
15356Going to the Abbot''s Wood?
15356Hai? 15356 Hallo, old fellow,"cried Miss Greeby in her best man- to- man style,"feeling chippy?
15356Has n''t Pine remembered Silver?
15356Has she been making love to Garvington?
15356Has she made over the mortgages to Noel? 15356 Has she then learned who killed Pine?"
15356Has that gypsy been here to- day?
15356Have you any idea that Sir Hubert intended to come by night to Lord Garvington''s house?
15356Have you murdered him?
15356Have you taken drows, my precious lord?
15356Have you the bullet with you?
15356Have you the money to go to America?
15356Have you thought of any one?
15356He did not wish to kill Pine, then?
15356He has not been near The Manor?
15356He is n''t ill, is he?
15356Hearne your grandson?
15356Hell, do you mean?
15356Her bedroom is then on this side of the house, my lord?
15356Here you are, Agnes, and here am I. Beastly day, ai n''t it? 15356 Here?"
15356Hey?
15356Honestly?
15356How are you, rye?
15356How can you be certain of that?
15356How could you expect any woman to put up with such an insult?
15356How dare you call me names?
15356How dare you take this tone with me?
15356How did he get it?
15356How did he get the letter?
15356How did she come to be there?
15356How do I know? 15356 How do you come to have a double personality and live a double life?"
15356How do you know she shot Pine?
15356How do you know that?
15356How do you know, her?
15356How do you know, that, my lord?
15356How does the will concern us?
15356How-- how-- how do you know?
15356Hullo, Chaldea,he said leisurely, and leaning against one of the moss- grown monoliths,"what are you doing here?"
15356I did?
15356I hope,blurted out the other woman,"that it is a right understanding?"
15356I suppose you men will go out shooting as usual?
15356In England?
15356In the Colonies?
15356In what part of the Bible do you find that?
15356In what way?
15356Insult, dear?
15356Is Mr. Lambert also able?
15356Is anything else likely to appear in the papers?
15356Is he at The Manor? 15356 Is it fair to me that you should shut yourself up and play the part of the disappointed lover?"
15356Is not my whole marriage a lie? 15356 Is she happy?"
15356Is that all the thanks I get for my trouble?
15356Is that all you have to say, Noel?
15356Is that all?
15356Is that allowed by law?
15356Is that because I am not a raclan?
15356Is the man mad?
15356Is there any one else in the house?
15356Is there anything else you would like me to do?
15356Is this true?
15356Is this your husband?
15356It is in your handwriting?
15356It was arranged to shoot him, then?
15356Kara, is n''t it?
15356Kara, the Servian gypsy?
15356Lady Agnes Pine?
15356Lord Garvington?
15356May I smoke?
15356Me out of the country?
15356Me?
15356Mean? 15356 Meaning Pine?
15356Money?
15356Murder, my lady, and what should I know of that?
15356My dear, my dear, why did you not send for me?
15356My wife will be free to what?
15356Need the whole world know that it is true?
15356Never again? 15356 No need of any concealment?"
15356Noel, you love me?
15356Now, what do you know of Pine''s murder?
15356Of course, Sir Hubert would know of the path and the wicket gate?
15356Of who else? 15356 Oh, Noel, ca n''t you understand?"
15356Oh, can you, and in what way?
15356Oh, how can you live in this horrid place?
15356Oh, my dear, when does Garvington ever mean anything?
15356Oh, then the original of that portrait does exist?
15356Oh, what is the use of asking what I mean when you know quite well, Noel? 15356 Oh, you do, do you?
15356Oh,Lambert drew a breath of relief,"so Silver laid a trap, did he?"
15356Oh,cried Agnes indignantly, and this feeling was the one Lambert wished to arouse,"how can you talk so?"
15356Oh,muttered Lambert, thinking of what Gentilla Stanley had said,"how did she find out?"
15356Patchessa tu adove?
15356Personally I do n''t, but--"But what?
15356Pine''s secretary? 15356 Pine?
15356Punish me?
15356Red money?
15356Repent that I exchange a lonely life for companionship with you? 15356 Respect?
15356Rom? 15356 Says I to her,''Who''s the foxy one?''
15356Shall I get my wish?
15356Shall we tell Jarwin that we intend to marry?
15356She has n''t been making mischief, has she?
15356She has parted with the letter?
15356She?
15356Silver declares that you wrote it?
15356Silver then knows that you are Ishmael Hearne?
15356Since when have I been a sybarite, Clara?
15356Since when have you come to the conclusion that I need a dry nurse?
15356Since when have you joined the Methodists, Garvington?
15356Since when?
15356Sir Hubert Pine?
15356Sir Hubert Pine?
15356So he''s taken the Abbot''s Wood Cottage, has he? 15356 So that you can marry Agnes?"
15356So you cheated me after all, rye?
15356Surely Garvington''s estates are free by now?
15356Surely Pine did not forget me?
15356Taking a sun- bath?
15356That old gypsy fortune- teller, who looks like an almshouse widow? 15356 The pistol which the golden rye gave me?"
15356The police? 15356 The revolver?"
15356Then what is your advice?
15356Then who did-- in your handwriting?
15356Then why did he not enter by the main avenue gates?
15356Then why do you wish me to help you?
15356Then you do n''t think that Freddy is responsible for the death?
15356Then you know something?
15356This dress?
15356To Wanbury?
15356To do with what?
15356To see Freddy?
15356To us?
15356To yourselves?
15356True; but how are you going about it?
15356Wait? 15356 Was ever a man in so uncomfortable a position?"
15356Was he in a hurry?
15356Was it in Silver''s possession on the night Pine was shot?
15356Watch?
15356We must wait?
15356We played as brats together, did n''t we? 15356 We''re friends, are n''t we, Clara?"
15356Well? 15356 Well?"
15356Well?
15356Well?
15356Well?
15356Well?
15356Well?
15356What about Clara Greeby?
15356What about Romeo?
15356What about?
15356What are you doing here?
15356What are you doing in the wilds?
15356What are you doing in these parts? 15356 What burden?"
15356What can she possibly know?
15356What could be a possibly greater barrier?
15356What did Garvington mean by that last speech?
15356What did she say in Romany?
15356What do you mean by drows, Chaldea?
15356What do you mean by that?
15356What do you mean exactly?
15356What do you mean?
15356What do you mean?
15356What do you mean?
15356What do you mean?
15356What do you mean?
15356What do you mean?
15356What do you mean?
15356What do you say, Miss Greeby?
15356What do you want with old Mother Cockleshell?
15356What do you wish me to do?
15356What does Chaldea know of it?
15356What does Oh baro devil, and all the rest of it mean?
15356What does it all mean?
15356What does it mean?
15356What does it mean?
15356What does it mean?
15356What does that mean, Chaldea?
15356What else can you call this forbidding me to marry you? 15356 What excuse does he make for forging your name?"
15356What have I to do with the half Romany? 15356 What have you discovered relative to his death?"
15356What have you to say?
15356What is it, sister?
15356What is it? 15356 What is it?
15356What is it?
15356What is it?
15356What is that?
15356What is the matter, dear?
15356What is the use of explaining what you already know?
15356What is worth a million?
15356What letter?
15356What of Ishmael?
15356What of her and of him? 15356 What on earth has that to do with it?"
15356What right have you to class the affair as a murder?
15356What root?
15356What the deuce has she gone to London for?
15356What the devil do you mean by behaving in this way?
15356What the devil do you mean, Mark? 15356 What the devil do you mean?"
15356What will Kara say?
15356What would Freddy say if he heard you talk so, Jane?
15356What''s he doing?
15356What''s that about migration of tribes?
15356What''s that?
15356What''s that?
15356What''s the matter, my dear? 15356 What''s the use of Hunger marrying Thirst?
15356What''s the use of pulling him out of the mud, when he will only sink back into it again? 15356 What''s the use?
15356What''s up?
15356What? 15356 What?
15356What?
15356What?
15356What?
15356Whatever are you talking about, my lord?
15356Whatever is the meaning of this?
15356Whatever will Master Noel say to such goings on?
15356When are you coming to The Manor?
15356When did you last hear from him, dear?
15356Where are they?
15356Where did you hide?
15356Where did you say the gypsies were, Garvington?
15356Where do they draw him to?
15356Where is Hearne, brother?
15356Where is she to be found?
15356Where would you get the ten thousand? 15356 Who can force him?"
15356Who gets the money then?
15356Who imitated it?
15356Who is Kara?
15356Who is going to clear them off?
15356Who is he, then?
15356Who is he?
15356Who is the letter to?
15356Who is the person?
15356Who says Silver is n''t respectable?
15356Who wants to, anyhow?
15356Who was in love? 15356 Who was the person who fired the shot?"
15356Who wrote the letter which set the snare?
15356Who wrote the letter?
15356Who-- who-- who is his mother?
15356Why ca n''t you be a man instead of a thing on two legs? 15356 Why did Sir Hubert send that message, my lord?"
15356Why did he labor for gold in the Gentile manner, when he could have chored and cheated like a true- hearted black one?
15356Why did n''t you denounce her, Gentilla?
15356Why did n''t you order them off your land?
15356Why did you ask my wife that?
15356Why did you come back on that particular night?
15356Why did you come here?
15356Why did you listen, may I ask?
15356Why do n''t you clear them off your land then?
15356Why do n''t you go there?
15356Why do n''t you say dukkerin?
15356Why do they call you Mother Cockleshell?
15356Why do you call it that?
15356Why do you say that I wrote the letter?
15356Why do you think I got Mr. Lambert to kill my husband?
15356Why does n''t she give it to the police?
15356Why for your sake?
15356Why is Chaldea jealous of you?
15356Why not at the postern gate, which leads to the blue door? 15356 Why not?
15356Why not? 15356 Why not?
15356Why should I? 15356 Why should I?"
15356Why should I?
15356Why should I?
15356Why should he give you any?
15356Why should he? 15356 Why should n''t I?"
15356Why should n''t a nobleman be wicked as well as the grocer?
15356Why should that be, sister, when his name signifies that he is of the gentle breed?
15356Why should we leave?
15356Why should you?
15356Why six months?
15356Why was his visit a secret one?
15356Why would n''t he?
15356Why, may I ask?
15356Why, when her husband helps Lord Garvington?
15356Why?
15356Why?
15356Why?
15356Why?
15356Will it part us forever?
15356Will they ever be adjusted?
15356Will you be a loyal friend to my husband?
15356Will you be back to luncheon, or join the men at the coverts?
15356Will you hold your tongue for three days?
15356Wo n''t the Gorgios lady have her fortune told?
15356Wo n''t you say something, Noel?
15356Wo n''t you sit down?
15356Would she? 15356 Would you be glad if I had?"
15356Would you like me to read the will again?
15356Yes, why should I deny it? 15356 Yes?
15356Yet what?
15356You can throw no light on the darkness?
15356You defy me?
15356You do n''t accuse me of murdering the man who was so useful to me, I hope?
15356You do n''t mean those dear gypsies at Abbot''s Wood do you, Lord Garvington? 15356 You do n''t mind Noel coming?"
15356You do n''t want me to address the envelope?
15356You had no idea that the man was Sir Hubert Pine?
15356You had no idea that the man you shot was Sir Hubert, my lord?
15356You inherit the millions?
15356You knew that he was at the Abbot''s Wood camp?
15356You love her and she loves you, so why not marry?
15356You mean about the property of the family?
15356You say that Chaldea holds a letter which inveigled my husband to his death?
15356You tricky pair of beasts; I suppose you hoped to implicate me in the crime?
15356You were to share in the twenty- five thousand pounds, I suppose?
15356You will be my romi when the gold chinks in our pockets?
15356You will help me to learn the truth?
15356You wish for help and so have come to see me? 15356 You wish that?"
15356You wish to save her?
15356You''d have given me up also, would you, Garvington?
15356You-- listened?
15356Yours is the name mentioned in the sealed letter held by Jarwin?
15356Agnes is a sweet girl, and--""Girl?"
15356Am I not a free Roman, brother?
15356And Chaldea''s reason?"
15356And how do you propose to prove that Mr. Lambert shot the man?"
15356And what more could a sensible woman want?
15356And what of it?"
15356And why not?
15356And why should the raclan go free- footed when she drew her rom to be slaughtered like a pig?"
15356And-- and Miss Greeby?"
15356Anything more?"
15356Are not three of our brothers in choky?
15356Are you better?"
15356Because I saw the shooting--""Of Pine-- of Hearne-- of your son?"
15356Because Noel is his heir?"
15356Brother, would you make money?"
15356But I should like to know why you set spies on me when I was in Devonshire?"
15356But can she?"
15356But does it not strike you, Noel, what a poor figure I and Garvington, and the whole family, yourself included, cut in the eyes of the world?
15356But for why, I asks you, my golden rye, when I was bred to the open and the sky?
15356But his nature?"
15356But if you''re afraid, why not get her to marry Noel?"
15356But its reason?"
15356But know this, my precious angel"--she fumbled in her pocket and brought out a more or less formless piece of lead--"what''s this, may I ask?
15356But the letter?"
15356But what does it matter if you are a gypsy?
15356But what has all this to do with me?"
15356But who knows?"
15356But who wrote to Hubert?"
15356But why had she gone to London?
15356But why should he revert to his beginnings so near to his brother- in- law''s house, where his wife was staying?
15356But you--""What about me?"
15356But, I say, wo n''t you have some tea before you go?"
15356But-- but-- but--""But what, you hound?"
15356By the way, I suppose, since you are here, that you know Lambert is staying in the Abbot''s Wood Cottage?"
15356By the way, how did you come to hear the name?"
15356By the way, how is Lambert, do you know?"
15356By the way, where is he?"
15356By the way, why is he so anxious to get rid of the tribe?"
15356Can you doubt it?"
15356Can you read the hand?
15356Can you snare a mouse without cheese, brother?"
15356Chaldea, what are you doing?"
15356Denounce me; denounce him, will you?"
15356Did I not play my fish in fine style?"
15356Did I not surrender you for the sake of the family name?
15356Do n''t you know?"
15356Do you know me?"
15356Do you think Lambert is a good name?"
15356Do you wish to see him?"
15356Eh?"
15356For how long?
15356For what-- the Deluge?"
15356Garvington is on guard I suppose, and--""Will you hold your tongue?"
15356Garvington retreated and his face became as white as that of the woman who confronted him,"what the devil do you mean?"
15356Has n''t Agnes lost all her money because of this selfish marriage with Noel, hang him?
15356Has the trouble to do with the murder?"
15356Have you any idea who wrote the letter?"
15356Have you come out mousing like an owl?
15356Have you finished that letter?"
15356Have you noticed, Agnes, what a number of gypsies seem to cross our path?"
15356Have you seen him lately?"
15356He might have done so, and yet he only fired the first shot--""Agnes,"Lambert rose up suddenly,"are you talking of Garvington?"
15356How can I rob you of millions?"
15356How could I take money from her?"
15356How dare you make such a proposition to me?"
15356How did he come to know about them?"
15356How the dickens do you expect us to carry on unless we borrow?"
15356I despise myself for my weakness in yielding, and yet, God help me, what else could I do when Garvington''s fair fame was in question?
15356I do n''t say he was right; but am I right, are you right, is Garvington right?
15356I have not heard any--""What can you hear in this jungle?"
15356I presume you have come to explain that you have discovered a clew to the truth?"
15356I suppose you have come to get it back?"
15356I suppose you mean him?
15356I think he is, but I''m not sure if it is n''t in oils, and the--""Well?
15356I thought you had got rid of him?"
15356I went to town, thinking it best to be away while Pine was in the neighborhood, and--""You knew that Hubert was a gypsy and at the camp?"
15356I wonder what that''s for?"
15356I wonder who cut the Gordian knot of the rope which bound Agnes to Pine?"
15356I wonder why you say that?"
15356If I take it to the police and it fits your pistol, then where will you be, my precious cheat?"
15356If Lambert worried my wife, Silver would let me know, and then--""And then?"
15356If he loved her and she loved him, why did they not run away to enjoy life together?
15356If they are, I must sacrifice you and myself for the sake of our name; if they are not--""Well?"
15356In fact, so happy am I and Hubert--""Happy?"
15356Inspector, but how did Miss Greeby know that Lady Agnes would lose the money if she married me?"
15356Inspector?"
15356Is Gentilla Stanley related to Pine?"
15356Is any one of us right?
15356Is it not so?"
15356Is n''t the fire low and the pot empty, and every purse without gold?
15356Is that not so, my lord?"
15356It''s a pal come to see a pal, is n''t it?"
15356Lambert clenched his hands and groaned,"Garvington and Mother Cockleshell?"
15356Lambert has not been to The Manor?"
15356Lambert?"
15356Lambert?"
15356My brother was killed after midnight, and if the rye took a walk then, who can say where he was?"
15356Never again?"
15356Now are you satisfied?"
15356Now, sir,"she added playfully,"wilt thou take this woman to be thy wedded wife?"
15356Of course, he may have meant what he says--""What does he say?
15356Of course, you''ll marry her since the barrier has been removed?"
15356Oh, by the way, I suppose Lambert told you about the letter?"
15356Oh, my dear, how can you think so?
15356Says I to myself, says I,''And what''s your game?''
15356Seems as though we''d gone back to Father Noah''s times, do n''t it?"
15356Shall I bring him to you?"
15356Silver?"
15356Silver?"
15356Still- life pictures?"
15356Tell me, Chaldea, do you really believe that I am guilty?"
15356The person named in the sealed envelope?"
15356The question was, could she keep up that pose in the face of the undeniable fact that she loved her cousin?
15356Then I heard a noise of footsteps on the gravel outside, just as I was dropping off to sleep--""About what time was that, my lord?"
15356Then Lord Garvington was aware that you shot Pine?"
15356Then what will people say, Noel?
15356Then why did n''t you give the bullet to the police?"
15356Then, when they stepped out of the cottage garden on to the lawns, she asked pointedly,"What is her name?"
15356They ca n''t get at me there, can they, Lord Garvington?"
15356They would even give me credit for loving Hubert--""But you do n''t?"
15356Until when?"
15356We know that Miss Greeby is guilty, so why not give her up and earn the money?"
15356Well, dear, what does it matter?"
15356Well, my dear?"
15356Well, will you come with me to Abbot''s Wood?"
15356Well?
15356Well?
15356Well?"
15356Well?"
15356Well?"
15356Were they Romans?"
15356What about a doctor?"
15356What can you do to harm me, I should like to know, you silly creature?"
15356What child?"
15356What do you know of that?"
15356What do you mean?
15356What do you mean?"
15356What do you wish me to do?"
15356What does it matter?"
15356What does it say?"
15356What else does she say?"
15356What has she got to do with the matter?"
15356What is best to be done, Clara?"
15356What is the matter?"
15356What kind of a man is he?"
15356What of the golden Gorgious one?"
15356What will you do?"
15356What would Garvington say?"
15356What''s that for?"
15356What''s up?"
15356What?"
15356When your secretary is also stopping at The Manor?"
15356Where are you going?"
15356Where is Sir Hubert?"
15356Where is it?"
15356Where is the other?"
15356Where was this letter discovered?"
15356Who am I who speak, asses of the common?
15356Who could have been the person in the shrubbery?"
15356Who dares to say that you are not?"
15356Who is Pine?
15356Who to?"
15356Who told you about Chaldea?"
15356Who would believe the old gypsy?
15356Who wrote it, may I ask?"
15356Who''s here?"
15356Why ca n''t he shut his mouth?"
15356Why did I ask her?
15356Why did I offer a reward of one thousand pounds if I did not hope that the wretch who murdered my husband should be brought to justice?"
15356Why do you ask so obvious a question?"
15356Why should I give twenty- five thousand pounds for this letter?"
15356Why should I?"
15356Why should Sir Hubert come to the blue door?"
15356Why should you think of me in this silly way?
15356Why, then, should Miss Greeby have removed the barrier-- and at the cost of being hanged for murder?
15356Why?"
15356Will you be good enough to speak plainer?"
15356Will you let Lambert know that you are in this neighborhood?"
15356Wo n''t you be seated?"
15356Would I have shot him had I guessed who he was?"
15356Wrinkles you have, mother, and weak wits to--""Weak wits, you drab?
15356Yet who could tell what anguished feelings were masked by her womanly pride?
15356You always said that you did?"
15356You do n''t mean to insinuate that he would climb into the house through a window after dark like a burglar?"
15356You have things to say to me?"
15356You know?"
15356You love her?"
15356You promise?"
15356You see, my lady?"
15356You silly girl, do you think that for one moment I was ever in love with you?"
15356You understand?"
15356You will let Chaldea give the letter to the police?"
15356You would n''t mind my taking a whiff, sir, would you?"
15356are you dead?"
15356asked Chaldea scornfully; then, seeing that her visitor did not understand her, explained:"Do you believe in that?"
15356asked Noel with feigned ignorance,"when she ran such a risk of being discovered?"
15356can you cheat the Gentile?
15356do you know the law of the Poknees, and can you diddle them as has money?
15356have we not been turned off common and out of field?
15356it is Hubert; is he dead?"
15356of who else?"
15356said Agnes as she greeted him,"then it''s not bad news?"
15356said Miss Greeby, grim and savage in her looks,"you have split on me, have you?"
15356who has been killed?"
15356who is it?"
15356would she?
15356would she?"
26372''Oo''s the two''eathen that just went out the door?
26372''Ow does''e know''ow''e should go? 26372 Ai n''t I been tellin''y''?
26372And Russia? 26372 And his eyes?"
26372And if they do?
26372And now, what about the supposed hospitality of the Red Cross? 26372 And you would leave all its safety and comfort to take a chance in the great disturbed world?
26372And yours?
26372Automatic ready?
26372Broken?
26372But how can I get past this?
26372But if they''re around here, why do n''t we see them?
26372But now,he said, after a moment''s reflection,"as Jerry the Rat would say,''Wot''s de lay?''"
26372But the glass?
26372But what can you see in the dark?
26372But what,he asked himself,"are these people doing here so far within the Arctic Circle, and how do they live?"
26372But where''d they come from?
26372But whose?
26372But you do n''t actually know how Frank Langlois was killed?
26372C''m on, ca n''t you?
26372Can you walk?
26372D''y''mean to say I lied?
26372Dead,Johnny whispered to himself as he turned away,"but how?"
26372Did n''t Pant tell you?
26372Did they get any of the gold?
26372Flour?
26372Got your automatic?
26372Have his goggles on?
26372He say, have you got gold?
26372He say, how much you want pay?
26372He say,droned the interpreter,"how much cattle you want to buy?"
26372Heart disease?
26372Honest, Johnny, have you the gold? 26372 How''d they get you?"
26372How''d you think?
26372How?
26372Hurt?
26372I miss the little rascal, do n''t you?
26372I say,murmured Pant,"do you think they were the same ones that attacked you back here on the hill a few nights ago?"
26372I wonder which faction that bird belongs to?
26372Is he dead?
26372Is n''t he with the bunch?
26372Keep that thing quiet, ca n''t you?
26372Land? 26372 No come buy?"
26372Now perhaps you can tell me what kind of a dress he took away?
26372Now what about Pant? 26372 Now what in time does he want of that?"
26372Orientals? 26372 Orientals?"
26372Pant? 26372 Poison?"
26372Say,he exclaimed, turning to one of his men,"where''s Pant?
26372Some wild and woolly adventure, eh? 26372 Sure''e''s done for?"
26372That''s fine,smiled Jarvis,"but what''s all the words you been spillin''about this bein''America?"
26372They have transformed her into a Russian peasant girl for their safety, but where have they taken her?
26372United States?
26372Wanchee cum- show?
26372Was there much?
26372Well, what do you make of it?
26372Well, what do you make of it?
26372What about the big cat?
26372What could you make out of that?
26372What did they do to you?
26372What does this fellow''M''expect? 26372 What is it?"
26372What time?
26372What were you doing with the Orientals?
26372What y''got it for, anyway?
26372What''ll y''do?
26372What''s that?
26372What''s the name of it?
26372What''s the rumpus?
26372What''s the use? 26372 What''s to- morrow?"
26372What''s up?
26372What''s what?
26372What? 26372 What?"
26372When do we see his highness, the great high chief who deals in cattle?
26372Where am I?
26372Where am I?
26372Where did you get it?
26372Where''s Pant?
26372Where-- where are we?
26372Who are you?
26372Who struck you?
26372Why do n''t you leap and shout for joy? 26372 Why do you not go back to old Russia now?"
26372Will''e get''i m?
26372Wo Cheng,he demanded almost fiercely,"where you come buy this?"
26372Wonder what it will be this time?
26372Wonder what killed him?
26372Wonder what made him drop us flat that way?
26372Wonder where Pant is now?
26372Yes, and for what?
26372You are Communists?
26372You came to share fortunes with me, did you? 26372 You come buy?"
26372You do n''t think they got him?
26372You got one, too?
26372You''aven''t seen''i m,''ave you? 26372 ''Ow''d''e come by the name Pant anyway?
26372( Signed)"M.""What does a fellow get out of that, anyway?"
26372After all, what did they know about these strange people?
26372Again I ask you,''Wot''s de lay?''"
26372Again through Johnny''s mind there flashed the telegraphic questions:"Who killed him?
26372And Mazie?
26372And was he?
26372And what does it all mean?"
26372And why, most of all, are you in disguise?
26372Ask him how much?"
26372Besides, if this was true, why the machine- gun fire?
26372Besides, old top, you''ll tell me when there''s danger lurking''round, wo n''t you?
26372Besides, what--""What''s my business?
26372But Pant?
26372But how did it come out here?
26372But how?
26372But if not, then what dog was it?
26372But tell me one thing now: did anyone see you come in here?"
26372But the Bolsheviki?
26372But the native village?
26372But was this peril to follow them into these?
26372But what could be his purpose?
26372But what was this?
26372But what was this?
26372But what''s this he told you about Langlois?"
26372But where could they be?
26372But where?
26372But why did you come?
26372But why had Pant taken such chances?
26372C''m on, ca n''t you?
26372Can''e see in the dark?
26372Could he believe his eyes?
26372Could he climb to the balloon and slit it before they reached the ocean?
26372Could he do it?
26372Could it be charged to some treacherous member of their own group?
26372Could it be that the men who had attacked him but a few days before were among these new arrivals?
26372Could it be that this interpreter had made his way into the good graces of Mazie only to turn murderer and robber at the proper time?
26372Could they go empty- handed?
26372Did you get it?"
26372Had he acted unwisely; subjected her to needless perils?
26372Had he caught a yellow glow from one eye of the man?
26372Had he come near killing a friend?
26372Had he heard something, felt something?
26372Had he seen a dark shadow flit from one little ridge to another?
26372Had it been stolen from her, or was this strange interpreter, who had doubtless just now saved his life, Cio- Cio- San herself?
26372Had the balloon broken loose?
26372Had they killed the only occupants?
26372Had they secured reindeer and made their way to Vladivostok?
26372He read them aloud:"''When can you come across?''"
26372He say, how much you want to pay?
26372Head lettuce and cucumbers in mid- winter, inside the Arctic Circle?
26372How could this strange fellow know that Frank Langlois was dead-- if he was dead?
26372How did Pant know he was dead?
26372How did Pant know?"
26372How had this person come into possession of that blade which he had given to Cio- Cio- San?
26372How much you want to buy?"
26372How much?"
26372How strongly?
26372How was it fastened down?
26372How would this tragedy affect his work and, most of all, the minds of his men?
26372How you want to pay?
26372I''ve been sick?
26372If he was, who had killed him?
26372If it''s a strange white man, why does n''t he join us?
26372If the man had something to say to him, why did he not say it?
26372If they had entered the city, had they discovered that part of the gold was in her hands?
26372Johnny hated to think so, yet, how had it happened?
26372Johnny told him the situation in as few words as possible, ending,"You want in on it?"
26372Leave this for exile?"
26372Might he not discover some trace of his assailants there?
26372Might it not be better to allow the balloon to rise and to attempt a journey back to some Russian town?
26372Now if they had recognized Jarvis, what might they not do?
26372One more question crowded its way to the front:"How had they killed Frank Langlois?"
26372Other languages were tried with no success, until a man of thirty years or past suddenly said:"Do you speak English?"
26372Ready?"
26372See?
26372So this was it?
26372So we are on a ship?
26372Sure enough, where was he?
26372The gasoline?
26372Then as a worried expression came over his face,"What you think?
26372Then, too, there was that strange earth- tremble; what caused that?
26372Then, turning an inquiring look on Dave, he murmured,"American?"
26372Then,"How did you come here?"
26372They''ll be lettin''out a''ole menagerie against us some fine day-- elephants, lions, mebby a hyena or two, and who knows what?"
26372This cabinet?
26372Through his mind sped the question:"Bolsheviki, natives, or yellow men?"
26372To what?
26372To whom should this now be paid?"
26372Twisting the string of his muckluck( skin boot), the old man continued:"What you think?
26372Two more leaps, and then what?
26372Upon which hundred thousand square miles would you prefer to land?"
26372Want to try that?"
26372Was his whole expedition to be thwarted in the carrying out of its high purposes?
26372Was it drifting free, a derelict?
26372Was it his duty to call the deal off and desert the mines?
26372Was it the interpreter or the other?
26372Was the man they had come to seek really dead?
26372Was this a friendly visit or an attack?
26372Was this man jesting?
26372Was this man lying?
26372Was this one crouching in the act of defending him against an enemy?
26372Were other Bolsheviki near the shed?
26372Were the needy in great barren Russia to continue to freeze and starve?
26372Were they nearing an inhabited land?
26372What book is it?"
26372What chance has a fellow got?
26372What chance would they have there?
26372What could he mean?
26372What could it mean?
26372What could it mean?
26372What could that mean?
26372What could this mean?
26372What does he think this land is like?
26372What had killed him?
26372What he said when he had finished was:"Bowsie, you old rascal, why did n''t you tell me it was you?"
26372What if the last poor victim had been brought to await his doom?
26372What manner of people were they, anyway?
26372What must be her fate?
26372What say we go to chow?"
26372What should one do?
26372What sort of treatment would they receive from them?
26372What then had happened?
26372What was its mission?
26372What would they not risk to regain possession of the gold that had been snatched from them?
26372What you think?"
26372What you think?"
26372When would the rich pay come?
26372Where had it come from?
26372Where is he?"
26372Where was he to search for her?
26372Where was he?
26372Where were the boys?
26372Where, then, were the Orientals?
26372Whither was it going?
26372Who could have taken it?
26372Who could refuse?
26372Who could tell?
26372Who could tell?
26372Who could tell?
26372Who could the robbers be?"
26372Who else could see in the dark?"
26372Who was it that had killed Frank Langlois, and how had it been done?
26372Who was the enemy?
26372Who were those little men?
26372Who would be next?
26372Why always that hood drawn tight?
26372Why are you in Russia at all?
26372Why had he sung them?
26372Why not in your beloved Japan?"
26372Why the goggles?
26372Why veil his meaning in an apparently senseless song?
26372Why will you be so foolish?"
26372Will you do me but one more?"
26372Will you have head lettuce or sliced cucumbers?"
26372Would they accomplish their task?
10476''Can you tell me if Mr. Bellingham had lost the third finger of his left hand?'' 10476 ''Have you any theory as to how the arm came to be deposited where it was found?''
10476''How long have the bones been in the water?'' 10476 ''Is this a deformity or has the finger been cut off?''
10476Affecting it in what respect?
10476After all, is there any objection? 10476 Am I not taken to the Museum by a fair lady?
10476Ancient or modern?
10476And I gather that you have refused his offer?
10476And am I to take it that your search over the rest of the house was conducted in a similar manner?
10476And have you definitely refused?
10476And how,Mr. Bellingham asked,"would that help the identification?"
10476And is Hurst''s proposal still open?
10476And is this the end of our collaboration?
10476And meantime his property would have been dispersed?
10476And of what use would the knowledge be, if it were obtained?
10476And the daughter,said Jervis,"what is she like?"
10476And the ring?
10476And the side gate?
10476And there is a French window in the study, is there not?
10476And what about you? 10476 And what do you want me to do?"
10476And what is the bearing of this particular question?
10476And what is the significance of this? 10476 And what news do you bring?
10476And what will happen to his collection if he is really dead?
10476And what will the Court do?
10476And you?
10476And your own investigations?
10476Any other news?
10476Any questions, gentlemen?
10476Anything more?
10476Are all the rooms in the house in use as living or sleeping rooms?
10476Are these the bones that were found in a watercress- bed at Sidcup?
10476Are those instructions relevant to the subject of this inquiry?
10476Are we all going?
10476Are you a taxidermist, then?
10476Are you going back to town now?
10476Are you going to the Egyptian Rooms?
10476Are you not feeling well, sir?
10476Are you scornful?
10476Are you sure of that?
10476Are you sure?
10476Are you the doctor?
10476Are you thinking of following my example and Jervis''s-- deserting the bedside for the Bar?
10476As to identification? 10476 As, for instance?"
10476At what time did he arrive?
10476But ca n''t you do anything?
10476But how can you be certain?
10476But might not the hand have become detached after lying in the pond some time?
10476But surely one can rely on the judge dealing fairly with a man who is unable to afford a solicitor and counsel?
10476But surely that is the rational method of coming to a conclusion?
10476But to return to this supper question: how will this day week suit you?
10476But what kind of skeleton? 10476 But what would that something be?
10476But what would you have? 10476 But where is your father?"
10476But who is to apply to the Court? 10476 But who was likely to have had such a motive?
10476But why should it have been?
10476But why that hungry gaze at those forensic vanities, Berkeley?
10476But why would it have been impossible?
10476But will George Hurst carry out the provisions of clause two? 10476 But wo n''t you have to be instructed by a solicitor?"
10476But yet you are sure about the scarab?
10476But you do n''t expect Jellicoe to give himself away, do you?
10476But you do n''t think he is, do you?
10476But, Ruth, dearest,I pleaded despairingly,"may it not become possible some day?
10476But,I asked,"what is it that they have found?"
10476By which he means?
10476By whom?
10476Ca n''t you?
10476Can he have disappeared by his own deliberate act? 10476 Can you direct me, Mrs. Jablett, to Nevill''s Court?"
10476Can you form any opinion as to the cause of death?
10476Can you give us any description of the deceased?
10476Can you suggest any class of person who would be likely to possess the knowledge and skill to which you refer?
10476Can you tell us what his height was?
10476Can you tell us, Doctor, how long a time has elapsed since the death of the deceased?
10476Certainly it is,Miss Bellingham replied; and then she asked:"Shall we walk there together?"
10476Could I have something to give me a night''s rest?
10476Could he walk upstairs?
10476Could it have been fastened from the outside?
10476Could you see the front gate from the dining- room?
10476Dear heart,I whispered,"is it now?
10476Did I shout?
10476Did he give you permission to repeat the details to me?
10476Did he say nothing to the servants as to the probable date of his return?
10476Did he state precisely where he was going?
10476Did he wear it constantly?
10476Did it, indeed?
10476Did it, indeed?
10476Did n''t I say that he would get the copy for us if it existed?
10476Did n''t you?
10476Did you ever meet an invalid who did n''t enjoy talking about his own health? 10476 Did you find my notes of any use?"
10476Did you form absolutely no opinion as to motive?
10476Did you gather anything of importance from the evidence at the inquest?
10476Did you look in those rooms when you searched the house?
10476Did you look under the sofa?
10476Did you note anything else of importance?
10476Did you notice the watch- guard particularly?
10476Did you receive any communication from him after he left?
10476Did you see Mr. Bellingham in a good light?
10476Did you want anything of me?
10476Did you?
10476Did you?
10476Do I understand that Godfrey declined the proposal?
10476Do I? 10476 Do any of these explanations apply to the present case?
10476Do n''t you find me rather agreeable?
10476Do n''t you, really?
10476Do you happen to know how long it was since the beds had been cleaned out previously?
10476Do you happen to know on which hand he wore it?
10476Do you happen to know the testator''s age?
10476Do you happen to remember what bones have been found?
10476Do you have to come upstairs to get from the kitchen to the dining- room?
10476Do you insinuate that I murdered my own brother?
10476Do you know anything?
10476Do you know that Doctor Berkeley was reduced to the necessity of stopping his ears?
10476Do you know who it is, Ruth?
10476Do you know,she continued,"I have not touched a piano for nearly two years?
10476Do you mean Mr. Godfrey Bellingham?
10476Do you mean that the teeth have metal fillings?
10476Do you mean that-- that the gods have been gracious to some other man?
10476Do you mean to say that a judge would be justified in giving a decision which he knew privately to be contrary to the facts? 10476 Do you mean,"I exclaimed,"that you did n''t know until the negative was developed?"
10476Do you remember anything remarkable occurring on the twenty- third of November the year before last?
10476Do you think he suspects that these remains may be those of your uncle?
10476Do you think he will apply to the Court without your sanction?
10476Do you think it possible that I could stay away, then?
10476Do you think the fellow could have been a butcher?
10476Do you want to look up the catalogue?
10476Do you, Berkeley?
10476Do you, in fact, know where he went?
10476Does that description apply to the person whose remains you examined?
10476Does the paper give any description of the missing man, sir?
10476Does the wardrobe lock?
10476H''m?
10476Had he no other luggage than the suit- case?
10476Had he, so far as you know, any reasons for wishing to disappear?
10476Had you any private information that led you to search this particular neighbourhood?
10476Has Doctor Norbury any explanation to offer?
10476Has the servant made any statement on the subject, sir?
10476Have I rung the wrong bell?
10476Have I shocked you, Ruth, dearest?
10476Have they found any considerable part of the body yet? 10476 Have you been doing this sort of work long?"
10476Have you been following these remarkable discoveries of human bones that have been appearing in the papers?
10476Have you formed any theory to account for the facts in this case?
10476Have you looked in them since?
10476Have you picked up any facts relating to the parties-- any facts, I mean, of course, that it would be proper for you to mention?
10476Have you read about them?
10476Have you spoken to Mr. Jellicoe about the matter?
10476Here you are, then?
10476Here, of course, the vital question to be settled is, what is the latest instant at which it is certain that this person was alive? 10476 How can I answer your question?
10476How can I tell?
10476How did you discover that the hand had been detached?
10476How did you know he was Mr. John Bellingham?
10476How do you do, sir?
10476How do you know he did not?
10476How do you know he was in the study?
10476How do you mean?
10476How do you mean?
10476How do you propose to begin?
10476How do you suppose he managed it?
10476How long have you been laid up?
10476How long have you known him?
10476How long have you known that the body was in the Museum?
10476How should you describe his figure?
10476How significant?
10476How?
10476How?
10476I do n''t know what you mean by that,Miss Dobbs began; but the barrister explained:"I mean that I believe he is unmarried?"
10476I mean, was it a chain or a ribbon or a strap?
10476I see,grunted Mr. Bellingham; and he added, after a moment''s thought:"Now, the question is, Are these bones the remains of my brother John?
10476I suggest that Mr. Bellingham left the house quietly while you were on the stairs?
10476I suppose I must n''t ask what their significance is?
10476I suppose he was a very learned man?
10476I suppose we must,replied Thorndyke; and, as he drew on his gloves, he asked:"Have you heard from Barnard lately?"
10476I suppose, Doctor Thorndyke,he said,"you read the newspapers?"
10476I suppose,said I,"that, under these circumstances, you would hardly favour Mr. Hurst''s proposal to apply for permission to presume death?"
10476I suppose,said Mr. Bellingham,"I ca n''t be of any service to you in the matter of identification?"
10476I suppose,she said,"you could n''t patch it up so that I could write with it?"
10476I wonder if Miss Bellingham would give us a little music?
10476I wonder if he has any reason to expect that the body will be found? 10476 I wonder if she could?"
10476I would give anything to go; but how is it to be managed? 10476 If I make the right inference, will you tell me?"
10476In what position is it placed?
10476In what respect, sir, is it of interest?
10476In what way did he vanish from it?
10476Is he here?
10476Is he? 10476 Is it a copy of the will?"
10476Is it apoplexy? 10476 Is it known, then, when they were deposited?"
10476Is n''t it odd,she said presently,"how our talk always seems to come back to my uncle?
10476Is n''t that rather sudden?
10476Is that near here?
10476Is that the divisional surgeon?
10476Is there a side gate to the premises?
10476Is there anything more that you want to say?
10476Is there anything to account for the absence of the missing finger?
10476Is there sufficient room behind it for a man to conceal himself?
10476Is there?
10476It certainly is not a highly emotional book,she said, and then asked:"Have you any other instructions to give?"
10476It is a charming little portrait, is n''t it?
10476It is a dreadful disfigurement, is n''t it?
10476It is all consistent enough, I must admit,said he, at length,"and yet-- are you quite sure there is no mistake?
10476Like to see what we have found, Doctor?
10476May I not come with you, dear?
10476May I read the note, Miss Oman?
10476Mr. Hurst lives alone, I believe?
10476Nothing more I can do for you, sir?
10476Now how does the worm get into the sheep''s liver? 10476 Now, can you tell us why it was cut off?"
10476Now, how did you know I was bringing someone in to tea?
10476Now, why must n''t you?
10476Now,said the inspector,"could you say, off- hand, which finger those bones belong to?"
10476Of what nature would they be?
10476Oh, do you?
10476Oh, has n''t my father told you? 10476 Oh, is it?"
10476Perfectly,said Dr. Norbury;"and a most astonishing coincidence-- but, my dear young lady, had you not better sit down?
10476Please answer my question-- yes or no?
10476Should you describe him as well preserved or otherwise?
10476Since when?
10476Since you made Miss Bellingham''s acquaintance, perhaps?
10476So the deceased might not have been taller than five feet eight?
10476So you never wore your copy?
10476So you think Mr. Hurst is moving in the matter?
10476Such is the pathological romance of''liver- rot''; and now what is its connection with this mysterious discovery? 10476 Supposing the case to come to a favourable termination, would you allow me to settle your fees in the ordinary way?"
10476That''s all very well,he grumbled,"but supposing people come here and excite me?"
10476That''s right; and now wo n''t you come in and have a few minutes''chat with my father? 10476 The Egyptologist?
10476The answer to that question would contain the answer to another question: Was my solution of the mystery the true solution? 10476 The case?"
10476The finger?
10476The mask on the case is a portrait, I suppose?
10476The practical question is,said I,"what is going to happen?
10476The remains might be those of that individual?
10476Then I infer that you do n''t agree?
10476Then are we to understand,Miss Bellingham asked,"that we are rare and choice products, in a legal sense?"
10476Then could it be Mr. Jellicoe? 10476 Then do you propose to conduct your case in person?"
10476Then how did you verify your suspicions?
10476Then might not Mr. Bellingham have left the house while you were coming up the stairs?
10476Then they are ready for stuffing now?
10476Then to take the third alternative: Did he leave the house unobserved? 10476 Then what makes you so sure that the scarab was not attached to it?"
10476Then why is he applying for a presumption of death?
10476Then why not?
10476Then you think that John Bellingham is alive?
10476Then you think that the person who dismembered this body must have had some anatomical knowledge and skill?
10476Then, could there be any other purpose with which they agreed better? 10476 There is a case, is there; a suit?"
10476There now,exclaimed Jervis,"what did I tell you?
10476There was another man in the case, was n''t there? 10476 They are proposing to take the case into Court, then?"
10476Those will be human bones, I fancy; h''m?
10476Through a medical agent?
10476Thus the identity of the body is established beyond all doubt, and the question that remains is, Who killed John Bellingham? 10476 To return to the question of the disappearance; you do n''t consider it highly improbable that Bellingham might have been murdered by Hurst?"
10476To see me?
10476Under what circumstances?
10476Was it locked when you went in?
10476Was that as a curative measure?
10476Was there anything, Mr. Jellicoe, in Mr. John Bellingham''s state of health that would make it probable that he might die suddenly?
10476Was this an accidental discovery?
10476We do n''t mind being under an obligation to the Doctor, do we?
10476Well, and what about it?
10476Well, how does the matter stand,asked Jervis,"on the evidence that we have?
10476Well, sir, and what do you make of''em?
10476Well, what are your conditions?
10476Well,said Mr. Jellicoe, with his hand on the window,"do you agree-- yes or no?"
10476Were the window and the gate locked, or would it have been possible for Mr. Bellingham to let himself out into the lane?
10476Were there any marks or labels on it showing the route by which it had travelled?
10476Were you much hurt?
10476Were you surprised at the decision?
10476What accident was that?
10476What are these experiments that Doctor Thorndyke refers to?
10476What are you looking for?
10476What are you thinking about so earnestly, fair lady?
10476What are you waiting for?
10476What circumstances?
10476What did I tell you?
10476What did he say about it?
10476What did you do, then?
10476What do you mean?
10476What do you think of it?
10476What does he mean by that?
10476What else should I come for? 10476 What else would you do with it?
10476What furniture is there in the drawing- room?
10476What furniture is there in the study?
10476What happened next?
10476What happened then?
10476What have we got to do?
10476What is all this, Doctor Thorndyke?
10476What is it about?
10476What is it?
10476What is that?
10476What is your objection, chick?
10476What kind of a watch- guard was Mr. Bellingham wearing?
10476What makes you feel sure he did not?
10476What makes you say that?
10476What motive could this unknown person have had in appearing, announcing himself as John Bellingham, and forthwith vanishing? 10476 What other man?"
10476What shall we do?
10476What should I be searching for bones for?
10476What sort of agreement?
10476What sort of health had he?
10476What sort of man was your uncle?
10476What sort of stuff is''hibernation''?
10476What statement?
10476What view did Mr. Jellicoe take?
10476What was that?
10476What would be the next move? 10476 What''s the matter with him, Doctor?"
10476What-- is-- it-- that-- you-- want-- to--_ask_--me about?
10476When and where did you last see him alive?
10476When did you next hear of the testator?
10476When you did go in, was the window fastened?
10476When you searched the drawing- room, did you look behind the piano?
10476Where are the servants?
10476Which way shall we go?
10476Who are the others?
10476Who are you?
10476Who is the executor?
10476Who''s the long- nosed fellow talking to Jellicoe?
10476Whom do you want to see?
10476Whose bones are they? 10476 Why ca n''t we?"
10476Why could it not?
10476Why do you say''not very confident''?
10476Why is a subject in which we are all keenly interested to be_ tabu_? 10476 Why is it, think you, that some of the teeth show so much whiter than others?"
10476Why just now, in particular?
10476Why must you take them?
10476Why mysterious?
10476Why not?
10476Why not?
10476Why not?
10476Why not?
10476Why should I? 10476 Why should he be jealous?"
10476Why, have n''t I got to copy the notes out into longhand?
10476Why, is Doctor Berkeley interested in our decision?
10476Will you kindly tell us what you have observed?
10476Would n''t it have done as well to- morrow?
10476Would you care to come in and smoke a cigar until it is time to make your call? 10476 Would you mind writing it down, sir?"
10476Would you rather go out into the gallery?
10476Would you throw away a whole afternoon''s work? 10476 You are a good deal interested in Egyptology yourself, are n''t you?"
10476You are not offering that suggestion as an explanation, are you? 10476 You are referring, perhaps, to Stevens versus the Parish Council?"
10476You are sure he broke both knee- caps?
10476You are sure of that?
10476You did n''t attach any importance, then, to the facts that they illustrated?
10476You found no signs of such a fracture?
10476You have a copy, then?
10476You have examined the bones at present lying in the mortuary and forming the subject of this inquiry?
10476You mean,I said,"that the union of the two parts into a single mass fixes this as the skeleton of an elderly man?"
10476You noticed that, then?
10476You promise not to molest me in any way until I have quite finished?
10476You really think that John Bellingham may still be alive?
10476You think he really has some private information?
10476You think that the person who dismembered this body may have been a surgeon or a medical student?
10476You were the testator''s solicitor and confidential agent, I believe?
10476You will come and see us to- morrow, dear, wo n''t you?
10476You''ll take your toast and cocoa while they''re hot, dear, wo n''t you?
10476Your head aches, does it?
10476''For Satan findeth''--but no doubt you are acquainted with the philosophical works of Doctor Watts?"
10476''The ground landlord, Mr. John Bellingham; is not he the gentleman who disappeared so mysteriously some time ago?''
10476A philosopher?
10476Above all, would he turn out to be a comely young man, and bring my aerial castles tumbling about my ears?
10476After a short silence, however, he asked:"And what news does my learned brother bring?
10476After all, why should I not confide in him?
10476All these lowly creatures play their parts in the scheme of Nature; and shall we cast out the medical jurist as nothing worth?"
10476Am I very silly, very sentimental?"
10476An eccentric savant?
10476And are there any fresh developments?"
10476And does she not stay me with mummy cases and comfort me with crockery?"
10476And how did he know what I believe?
10476And how much was the inquiry advanced by the few entries in my note- book?
10476And if it had been so contrived, who was the agent in that contrivance?
10476And that being so, is it difficult to understand why she should refuse to allow you to be publicly associated with her?
10476And the settlement of that question will probably throw light on the further question: Who deposited them in the places in which they were found?
10476And then, after a pause, I asked:"Is there any immediate likelihood of proceedings of the kind being commenced?"
10476And then:"Are you fond of murders?
10476And what did he expect to learn from it when he found it?
10476And what do you make of that faint mark across the chest, near the top of the sternum?"
10476And when they do strike, what will Thorndyke have to say?
10476And whence could he have obtained it?
10476And why should a common headstone be more so than any other?"
10476And you wish to arrest me, I presume?"
10476Are there any more bones in that bag?"
10476Are they Mr. Bellingham''s, think ye?"
10476Are you at all interested in the subject?"
10476Are you quite sure of that?"
10476Are you sure you wo n''t allow me to fill your glass?"
10476Are you worrying about your friends''affairs?"
10476Badger?"
10476Bellingham?"
10476But by whose orders were those works undertaken?
10476But can you explain to me why, after taking all that trouble to decorate it, they should have disfigured it with those great smears of bitumen?"
10476But how are we to judge which it is?
10476But how are we to manage about the practice?"
10476But if clause two could not have been devised to fit the disappearance, could the disappearance have been devised to fit clause two?
10476But if we accept this supposition, we raise two further questions:''Who was the personator?''
10476But is it clear that this arm was the fellow of the arm that was found at Sidcup?"
10476But perhaps I am interrupting you?"
10476But perhaps you have taken advice?"
10476But there-- what is the use of talking?
10476But to return to your observations: did you gather nothing from the other bones?
10476But was there any other explanation?
10476But we must really be off now, must n''t we, reverend senior?"
10476But what an ass the fellow must have been to make such a to- do about his beastly carcass?
10476But what do you think of a man who buttonholes a doctor at a dinner- party to retail a list of his ailments?"
10476But what information could he have?
10476But what is it about?
10476But what is yours?"
10476But what was the explanation?
10476But what was there to say?
10476But what was your question?"
10476But where are your own family tombstones?"
10476But why discuss contingencies of this kind?
10476But why should he have personated his brother?
10476But why was he searching for it here when the hand had been found at Sidcup?
10476But why were you thinking of us, and what was the nature of your thoughts?"
10476But you do n''t mean that these egg- patches and worm- tubes appeared to you to have no significance at all?"
10476But, tell me, did you find nothing unexpected or suggestive about those bones-- as to their number and condition, for instance?"
10476By the way, those little objects in front of the knees are metallic, I suppose?"
10476By the way, what is our position in the matter?
10476By the way, what was his name?"
10476Can it not be made possible?
10476Can you explain why this person should have adopted this unusual and rather inconvenient method?
10476Can you remember if he was wearing it in that manner when he came to the house?"
10476Can you suggest a motive for this procedure, or can you think of any circumstances which might lead a person to adopt this method by preference?"
10476Clearly an X- ray photograph was being made; but of what?
10476Could any more perfect or secure method of disposing of a body be devised by the most ingenious murderer?
10476Could the change be due to our growing friendship?
10476Could these remains be those of John Bellingham?
10476Did Berkeley tell you of the proposal that he made?"
10476Did I do wrong?"
10476Did he remember my infernal case, as you call it?"
10476Did n''t Mr. Jellicoe point out to him how absurd the provisions were?"
10476Did you go into the study?"
10476Did you see that Polynesian?
10476Do I see a blue envelope sticking out of your pocket?"
10476Do n''t you remember?"
10476Do n''t you think so?"
10476Do n''t you think so?"
10476Do the appearances, in your opinion, agree with that view?"
10476Do the remains that you have examined agree with that description?"
10476Do they steal away at closing time into the depths of the Museum and hide themselves until morning in sarcophagi or mummy cases?
10476Do you accept his statement?
10476Do you find anything in any of the bones, or all of them together, which would enable you to identify them as the bones of any particular individual?"
10476Do you know if Jellicoe will act with him?"
10476Do you know who supplied the information?"
10476Do you realise that I am old enough to be your mother?"
10476Do you realise what her position really is?
10476Do you remember it?
10476Do you remember my speaking to you of Doctor Thorndyke?"
10476Do you suppose that I called to consult the bottle- boy?"
10476Do you swear that the scarab was not hanging from his watch- guard?"
10476Do you think all those teeth are filled with the same metal?
10476Do you think it is altruism?"
10476Do you want the bag?"
10476Does it apply?"
10476Does that constitute a disagreement?"
10476For what did my discoveries amount to?
10476From Godfrey Bellingham?
10476From the complete state of the neck vertebrae, for instance?"
10476Getting no help from her, he asked:"Do you think that there is any possibility whatever of a successful issue?"
10476Had n''t you better give up the idea?"
10476Has Jervis gone into the law?"
10476Has anything in particular happened?"
10476Have the Shepherd Kings been giving trouble?"
10476Have we finished?"
10476Have you any?"
10476Have you never heard of pious Catholics who cherish a devotion to some long- departed saint?
10476Have you read through the document, Berkeley?"
10476Have you?"
10476He did not look like a drinker, but still--"Do you smoke much?"
10476He is a patient of yours, no doubt?"
10476He slipped from a high kerb and broke one of the bones of the left ankle-- somebody''s fracture--""Pott''s?"
10476He would probably have referred me to the police, and then what could I have done?
10476Her occupation and rather recondite learning?
10476Her striking personality and exceptional good looks?
10476How are Mr. and Miss Bellingham?
10476How could I when it was n''t there?"
10476How could it have been disposed of?
10476How did I know that you would sympathise and understand?"
10476How do I know?
10476How do you know he is the late John Bellingham?"
10476How does that agree with your suggestion?"
10476I am sure you did n''t overlook it, but is n''t it a point of some importance?"
10476I exclaimed penitently,"have I spoken too soon?
10476I mean with regard to her uncle''s disappearance?"
10476I merely ask, Is your employer, Mr. Hurst, an unmarried man, or is he not?"
10476I reply, if he was at liberty to go away, whither, when, and how he pleased, why do we express surprise that he has made use of his liberty?
10476I suppose Bellingham has n''t a copy?"
10476I suppose I must n''t ask what is the nature of the legal entanglement?"
10476I suppose it is entirely local?"
10476I suppose that is another coincidence?"
10476I suppose they were just a plant?"
10476I suppose we shall walk there to- day?"
10476I suppose you do n''t chance to know it?
10476I think you agree with me, reverend senior?"
10476I trust I do not weary you with these particulars?"
10476I understand that you place your affairs in my hands?"
10476If circumstances suddenly arising made it desirable that he should go abroad, why should he not go?
10476If you had been in Hurst''s place, how would you have gone to work?"
10476Is he now in hiding abroad, or even at home, indifferent alike to the safety of his own considerable property and the peace of mind of his friends?
10476Is he taking a holiday?"
10476Is n''t it dreadful to think of it?
10476Is n''t it just like a man--""Is n''t what just like a man?"
10476Is n''t it?"
10476Is n''t it?"
10476Is n''t that so, Davis?"
10476Is n''t that what I brought it for?"
10476Is n''t there some story about a picture of Reynolds''in which bitumen had been used?
10476Is that Miss Bellingham coming in?
10476Is that quite clear?"
10476Is that quite clear?"
10476Is the time fulfilled?"
10476Is there anything to show what was the manner of his disappearance?"
10476Is there no chance whatever that this obstacle may be removed?"
10476It is a little out of our way, but we are not in a hurry, are we?"
10476It was a proud moment for me when, in response to my interrogative"Yes?"
10476It was a quaint idea, was n''t it?
10476It was a terrible time; and through it all the dreadful questions haunted me continually: When will the blow fall?
10476Jablett?"
10476Jellicoe?"
10476Jellicoe?"
10476Jellicoe?"
10476Jellicoe?"
10476Jellicoe?"
10476May I ask, sir, if the person who is missing had anything peculiar about that finger?"
10476May I offer you gentlemen a glass of sherry?"
10476Mr. Jellicoe repeated slowly;"anything more?
10476Mr. Loram directed a stupefied gaze at the witness, and in the ensuing silence a plaintive voice came from the bench:"Is the point material?"
10476Not a cheerful experience that, you know, at my time of life, eh?"
10476Now how could he possibly have got rid of the body without being observed?"
10476Now how do you search a house for a living man?
10476Now is n''t it very remarkable that you should come straight down to Epping Forest, which is in Essex, and search for those bones and find''em?"
10476Now what circumstances might have led him to divide it in this peculiar manner?"
10476Now, after an interval of silence, he asked suddenly:"Is anything amiss, Berkeley?
10476Now, did you ever notice whether he was accustomed to wear any rings upon his fingers?"
10476Now, from whom did you''understand''that?
10476Now, has he done this?
10476Now, where do you advise me to go for the raw materials of conviviality?"
10476Oh, and you wo n''t forget about the copy of the will for Doctor Thorndyke, will you?"
10476On the other hand, if he should carry out clause two, what happens?
10476Or do they creep through spaces in the book- shelves and spend the night behind the volumes in a congenial atmosphere of leather and antique paper?
10476Or her connection with the dramatic mystery of her lost uncle?
10476Or is it a heart attack, think you?"
10476Or is it that death has come upon him unawares by sickness, by accident, or, more probably, by the hand of some unknown criminal?
10476Or that I should have made these humbugging pretences of scientific experiments if a more dignified course had been open to me?"
10476Or that he might sentence a man whom he knew to be innocent?"
10476Or-- more probably-- a crank?
10476Ruth was still all that she had ever been to me-- perhaps even more; and if that had been a rich endowment yesterday, why not to- day also?
10476Shall I take the bag?"
10476Shall we go and look at some of the galleries?"
10476Short?
10476So you find the lady doctor no use, after all?"
10476So you like Godfrey Bellingham?"
10476Supposing that after the Court has decided that he is dead he should turn up alive?
10476Supposing that the visitor was not John Bellingham at all, but someone who was personating him?
10476That''s all right, Doctor; she accepts, do n''t you, chick?"
10476The answer to this question is contained in the answer to the further question: What could have been the object of the personation?
10476The cobbler directed an intimidating scowl at the witness and demanded:"Were you searching for bones when you came on these remains?"
10476The first is that of identity: Who was this person whose body we have just viewed?
10476The real Sebek- hotep, I mean?"
10476The second is, How, when, and by what means did he come by his death?
10476The tragic- faced gentleman, for instance, with the corkscrew ringlets that bob up and down like spiral springs as he walks?
10476Then did he remain in it dead?
10476Then take a single unit from that million, and what can you predict concerning him?
10476Then, after an interval, I asked:"Would it be possible for me to help in any way in this investigation of yours?"
10476Then, in a faint voice, he asked:"How do you suggest that John Bellingham''s body came to be inside that cartonnage?"
10476There was another interval of silence, and then Dr. Norbury asked suddenly:"But what do you suppose has become of Sebek- hotep?
10476They were disconnected bones, I believe?"
10476This is Museum Street, is n''t it?"
10476To invest it, perhaps, with a dreadful notoriety?"
10476To run the risk of dragging your honourable name into the sordid transactions of the police- court or the Old Bailey?
10476To which she assented, and then asked:"Who is this lady?"
10476Was I being conducted to the lair of one of the savants attached to the establishment?
10476Was I right or was I wrong?
10476Was he a miser, hiding himself and his wealth in this obscure court?
10476Was it a large school?"
10476Was it her unusual surroundings?
10476We have so many associations with the dear old Museum, have n''t we?"
10476We must n''t introduce irrelevant topics while the experiment is in progress, must we, Doctor?"
10476We shall want some books for to- morrow, sha n''t we?"
10476Were you_ very_ unhappy when I left you?"
10476What about it?"
10476What are Mr. Bellingham''s habits as to his evening meal?
10476What are we going to look at when we get there?"
10476What are you doing here on a summer afternoon staring into a wigmaker''s window?"
10476What are you going to do?"
10476What can I have the pleasure of doing for you?"
10476What circumstances were they?"
10476What could be the nature of the connection?"
10476What did they search for?"
10476What did you think of him?"
10476What do you know about me?"
10476What do you say, Berkeley?"
10476What do you say, Doctor Thorndyke?"
10476What do you suggest?"
10476What evidence is there that the remains found at Sidcup were deposited before those found elsewhere?"
10476What explanation do you suggest of this unusual mode of severing the arm?"
10476What is it that the police are waiting for?
10476What is it that you wish to do?"
10476What is it?"
10476What is the explanation?
10476What is the matter, Berkeley?"
10476What is the next thing?
10476What is there, Ruth, among Doctor Barnard''s music that you can manage?"
10476What manner of man, I wondered, was this new patient of mine?
10476What steps ought we to take?"
10476What the deuce could it have mattered to him where it was dumped, when he had done with it?"
10476What then?"
10476What was the meaning of that?
10476What was there about this strange girl that had made so deep an impression on me?
10476What will you do then?"
10476What''s the joke?"
10476When she had finished her repast she put aside the tray and, opening the shabby handbag, asked:"Do you take any interest in Egyptian history?
10476Where are you going with those chairs?"
10476Where did you lay it?"
10476Where was this lot found, Davis?"
10476Where were you while you were watching?"
10476Whither do they go?
10476Who can say?
10476Who said so?
10476Why did n''t you tell me?''
10476Why do you ask?"
10476Why do you connect the remains with one locality rather than the various other localities in which other portions of the body have been found?"
10476Why do you think that is?
10476Why does a surgeon get out of bed on a winter''s night to do an emergency operation at a hospital?
10476Why not?
10476Why should I?
10476Why should a monument be so stimulating to the imagination?
10476Why should he disappear?
10476Why should he?
10476Why should it have been removed?
10476Why should n''t you tell him?
10476Why should you?
10476Why was I not told?''
10476Why, what will Mr. Jellicoe do with Egyptian antiquities?"
10476Will that suit you?"
10476Will you go on and wait for me at my chambers, when you have seen Miss Bellingham home?"
10476Will you have a look at my knee?"
10476Wo n''t you back me up, and at the same time do a kindness to Doctor Berkeley?"
10476Would this be a convenient time to call?"
10476Would you like to see it?
10476Would you like to see it?
10476Would you like to see the churchyard where Uncle John wished to be buried?
10476Would you like to see them?"
10476Would you mind, Doctor Thorndyke, telling us just how the matter stands in your opinion-- what the probabilities are, for and against?"
10476You do n''t mind telling us about it, do you?"
10476You fail to perceive the distinction, no doubt?"
10476You go in and win-- she''s worth it, is n''t she, Thorndyke?"
10476You remember that a scarab from his watch- chain was found there?
10476You were n''t looking for the foot, were you?"
10476You''re not afraid of her, are you?"
10476and second, Are there any facts which indicate in a positive manner that the testator is dead?
10476and what can be done for the Bellinghams?"
10476and would he add a superfluous third to our little party of two, so complete and companionable,_ solus cum sola_, in this populated wilderness?
10476and''What was the object of the personation?''
10476but,''What became of him after his interview in Queen Square?''
10476do you remember when we last stood here?"
10476fat?
10476half- past eight, then?
10476he exclaimed,"is it indeed thou?
10476in Essex?"
10476said Thorndyke,"do we find you waiting like a Peri at the gates of Paradise?
10476sandy?
25849Ah, now what reward can equal the light of yer blue eyes and the swate smile that shows the purtiest teeth in the State of Maine?
25849Ai n''t you one of those post office robbers?
25849And have n''t we a full- grown man wid us, as me dad said whin he inthrodooced me to his friends at Donnybrook, I being''liven years old? 25849 And how is it with the second mate?"
25849And phwat''s to become of us?
25849And why not?
25849And why not?
25849And why should they not? 25849 And why will you do that?"
25849And why?
25849Are ye calling me out of me name?
25849Are ye saaking to make me belave ye are from Ireland?
25849Are you a real post office robber?
25849Are you alone?
25849Are you doing your best?
25849Are you hurt?
25849Are you travelling alone?
25849Arrah, now, what are ye saying? 25849 Arrah, now, what do ye maan by kicking me out on the floor, ye spalpeen?
25849Arrah, now, what''s the difference what ye call the boat? 25849 As I understand it, then, our boat promises to be useful to you solely on account of its speed?"
25849But ai n''t we lucky?
25849But how should they know about it? 25849 But if it should happen to be there?"
25849But what was the maans he used to open that door? 25849 But where do we come in?"
25849Can you overhaul her?
25849Did n''t the same thought come to ye, Captain?
25849Did n''t you hear me?
25849Did ye not almost break me heart by thinking I was a Dutchman?
25849Did you hit the burglar?
25849Did you notice anything special?
25849Do I look hungry?
25849Do n''t you think it a pity that while his boy and ours are so fond of each other their fathers are not on speaking terms?
25849Do ye know what he maanes by thim words? 25849 Do ye obsarve that six- masted schooner wid its nose poked under the bushes in the hope of escaping notice?"
25849Do yer dad and mither know where ye are?
25849Do you know anything about the two?
25849Do you know what happened? 25849 Do you mean to let them get away, Alvin?"
25849Do you mean to tell me that first fellow was one of the burglars?
25849Do you think it because of her trouble yesterday?
25849Do you want me to go there too?
25849Do you wish me to let her get away from us?
25849Does n''t it show that it''s the practice in Beartown wid some of them as has lots of money to lave the same wid the leddy? 25849 Does n''t the Captain pay ye''nough wages?"
25849For what reason?
25849For what reason?
25849Glad of what?
25849Has she had any visitors while we were away?
25849Have you a pistol?
25849Have you any reason for the choice?
25849Have you had any instruction in music or the cultivation of your voice?
25849How about the second mate?
25849How can I put''em there, if ye stand there?
25849How can I refoos?
25849How can the same be asking too much whin ye have n''t asked it?
25849How could I do itherwise wid yer bright eyes cheering me?
25849How could it do that whin it brought me the bist of luck, being I came to your door?
25849How did he learn the combination?
25849How do you account for his preventing the other robber from carrying away the money in the safe?
25849How do you know that?
25849How does it go? 25849 How does it strike you, Chester?"
25849How long is he going to hang round the store?
25849How many passengers do ye obsarve on the same frigate? 25849 How shall I escape?"
25849How will that do it?
25849How would you like to become an opera singer, Mike?
25849How?
25849I do n''t see any man; where is he?
25849I have n''t any choice; have you?
25849I lost me wheelbarrer in coming up from me launch; have ye anything of the kind ye would be willing to sell to a poor orphan?
25849I say, Kit,said Miller, lowering his voice as if fearful of being overheard,"do you think they''ll get Nox?"
25849I say, do you think there''s any danger of his squealing, that is, if he has n''t been killed?
25849I''ve only to feel each step,he reflected,"and I''ll soon arrive, and then wo n''t fur of the spalpeens fly?"
25849If that were so, what in the world can he want of you and your boat?
25849If the spalpeens are there, will ye let''em have a sight of yersilf?
25849In the first place, where do this gang with whom you have been associated have their headquarters?
25849Is n''t that the dearest object of yer heart? 25849 Is n''t that what I''m doing?"
25849Is that so?
25849Is there enough light for you to see the name on the bow?
25849It is not that little patch of ground in the cove at the southern end of Barter Island?
25849Knowed phwat?
25849May I ask yer name, me leddy?
25849May I make a suggistion?
25849May I vinture upon another suggistion?
25849Mike, can you play the accompaniment to''Greenville''?
25849Now is n''t that a fine go?
25849Noxon,said Calvert, with a smile over the repartee of the Irish lad,"do either Kit Woodford or Graff Miller know your right name?"
25849Noxy, will ye answer me one question?
25849Oh, yaws, I understand-- why did n''t ye say so afore?
25849Phwat have ye in mind now?
25849Phwat is that ye''re saying?
25849Phwat might ye be maaning?
25849Phwat''s that?
25849Say to- morrow morning?
25849Shall I start?
25849So do I, but why take the risk, when there''s no necessity for it?
25849Suppose he belongs to the gang that is playing the mischief with Uncle Sam''s post offices in this part of the Union?
25849Suppose it is n''t there?
25849Suppose the_ Water Witch_ happens to be where Chester and I saw her at night?
25849That man who was in the dining room with us may have been another detective or----"Or what?
25849The top of the morning to yer ladyship, and would ye be willing to hang me across yer line till me clothes be dried?
25849Then what hope is there for me?
25849Then you accept his proposal?
25849Then you did n''t catch the villain?
25849Thin----I say, Captain,said the agitated Mike, turning to Alvin,"would ye be kind enough to run up alongside that ship?"
25849Thinking of what?
25849W- w- what do you want?
25849Was that your gun we heard a little while ago?
25849What about this one?
25849What are you doing here?
25849What are you going to do with_ him_?
25849What did I tell you, Orestes? 25849 What did they do fur yer fut?"
25849What do you make of it all?
25849What do you make of it all?
25849What do you make of it?
25849What do you make of it?
25849What do you mean? 25849 What in the world put that in your head?"
25849What is wrong?
25849What is yer name, plaise?
25849What kept you so long?
25849What made that blamed hole? 25849 What made ye have that opinion?"
25849What of that? 25849 What of that?"
25849What of the testimony of Woodford and Miller when they are released from jail?
25849What shall we do?
25849What shall we do?
25849What then is to be done?
25849What''s a lookout?
25849What''s become of Mike?
25849What''s that for?
25849What''s that?
25849What''s the matter?
25849What''s the meaning of that?
25849What?
25849When do you wish us to start?
25849When ye lave here will ye be going back to Kit Woodford and Graff Miller?
25849Where are the byes?
25849Where are they now?
25849Where away?
25849Where is he?
25849Where is the rest of your gang?
25849Where is the scandalous villain?
25849Where''s Alvin and Chester all this time? 25849 Where''s your gun?"
25849Where?
25849Whither will ye go?
25849Who are you?
25849Who did that?
25849Who is it that I shall ask fur whin I vinture on this part of the boat?
25849Who the mischief are you, anyway?
25849Who''s yer frind?
25849Why could n''t you give the signal?
25849Why did n''t he take it then?
25849Why did you avoid us? 25849 Why do you wish me to do that?"
25849Why have n''t you got the bracelets on him?
25849Why is he hanging round after they''ve gone?
25849Why is that?
25849Why not run to land and tie up? 25849 Why not stay with us over night?
25849Why not? 25849 Why not?"
25849Why so?
25849Why?
25849Will one be all you want?
25849Will ye do me the kindness to presint that to Jim when he comes to the store in the morning to set the table on the front porch?
25849Will you tell me something truly-- upon your word of honor-- take your dying oath?
25849With Mike still chasing him?
25849Would n''t it be well if I got a docther fur ye?
25849Would n''t your father prefer to have us bring you home safe and unhurt rather than to have your beauty battered out of you?
25849Yaws, what fur?
25849Yaws,he said, with a silly grin, looking at the coin and then clasping it tight;"what do yuh warnt me to dew?"
25849Yaws-- but what did he give me so much money fur? 25849 Ye did n''t ask me, and what could be the difference if ye did n''t find it out?
25849Ye does n''t objict to my telling folks how ye laid out that Goliah a bit ago?
25849Ye have read the blissed story of the Prodigal Son, have n''t ye?
25849Ye might find her-- and then what would become of ye?
25849You do n''t mean to shoot the fellow?
25849You have been there?
25849You remember our little foot race from the back of the Beartown post office?
25849You seem quite sure that these three whom we saw in the launch are mixed up in these post office robberies?
25849About what time do you suppose it is?"
25849Addressing Mike, the lady said:"You have a wonderfully fine tenor voice: do you know that, Mike?"
25849All stared in amazement, and the father in his confusion was imprudent enough to ask:"Where did you get it?"
25849Am I right?"
25849And how did he learn it?"
25849And what did the officer do but shake hands with Noxon, who kept his seat as if in a daze?
25849Are you ready, Noxon, to go to your home with me?"
25849Are you ready?"
25849Are you willing to turn state''s evidence?"
25849At this moment Nora asked of Mike:"Did you ever make up music for yourself?"
25849At this point Chester Haynes asked his first question:"How do you know we did?"
25849Be the same token, are ye much hurt?"
25849But what could he do?
25849But what''s the use of speculating about it?
25849But where is Mike?"
25849Calvert?"
25849Calvert?"
25849Calvert?"
25849Can ye guess why?"
25849Can you sing any other songs?"
25849Can you tell me anything about your launch or the_ Water Witch_?"
25849Chester asked reprovingly:"Why did n''t you let us know about this before?"
25849Could they believe their eyes?
25849Did ye spake any caution to the man before he lift this morning?"
25849Did you hear that, Louis?"
25849Did you see anything?"
25849Do I make that clear to you?"
25849Do they know where you came from?"
25849Do ye hear me?"
25849Do ye mind that?"
25849Do ye obsarve?"
25849Do you see anything of her lights?"
25849Does he think neither of us suspected what he did?
25849Dropping his foot to the floor, he asked impatiently:"What''s the sense of my playing baby?
25849Friestone?"
25849Have ye becoom acquainted?"
25849Have you a pencil and bit of paper anywhere about you?"
25849Have you any price in mind?"
25849He could only mumble:"W- w- what''s the matter?"
25849He could see nothing in the gloom, and asked in a whisper:"Who is it?"
25849He recoiled, and, though he knew the meaning of the question, he asked:"And phwat does ye mane by''opera''?"
25849Hello, Mike, are you here with us?"
25849How came you to have_ that_ launch?"
25849How much would you like to pay?"
25849How was it that young Noxon was assigned the most perilous task of all, when in reality he was the youngest of the three?
25849How was it you did n''t warn him?"
25849I say, Kit, I would like to know something-- why did you and Graff run off and leave me behind?"
25849Is it_ yersilf_?"
25849Is n''t he bright?"
25849Is that all right?"
25849Is there a well outside that I can dive into the same?"
25849Is there any more play that ye call wurruk which I can do fur the likes of ye?"
25849It was Mike who abruptly spoke:"I say, Captain, are ye aslaap?"
25849Knowing from the gesture of the Captain what was the matter, Chester asked, as he obeyed the request:"What causes that?"
25849Lowering his voice to a confidential tone, he asked:"Does Mrs. McCaffry know anything of this?"
25849Mike, how was it you were here with Noxon when I called?
25849More soberly she asked:"Will you tell me your name?"
25849Mr. Kupfer leaned over the counter and lowered his voice:"Who is he?"
25849Observing the change of course, Chester inquired:"Where to now?"
25849Say----""You young rascal, did n''t I tell you to stay home?
25849Suddenly Chester asked an odd question:"Do you think the launch was injured by that spurt this forenoon?"
25849Suppose our young friends overtook them, what could they do?
25849Suppose the launch should break down when we were well out in Sheepscot Bay, would n''t we be in a fix?"
25849Terrified by what he had done, Buxton ran forward, gun in hand, and called out while several paces distant:"Are you hurt bad?"
25849That''s plain enough, is n''t it?"
25849These boats do n''t carry a large stock of provisions-- who knows but there''s something of the kind on board?"
25849This salutation was to a big gawky boy, who slouched through the door, with the announcement:"Wal, I''m ready: what shall I do?"
25849To each of the former youths came the disquieting questions:"Does he believe we did not know him that night?
25849Understand?"
25849Was it known to anyone besides yourself?"
25849What can I weigh in the balance against her?
25849What caused you to look here for me?"
25849What could the amazing fact mean?
25849What did it all mean and what was the cause of the secrecy between him and Stockham Calvert?
25849What do ye think yersilf?"
25849What do you think, Alvin?"
25849What do you think?"
25849What do you wish to do with it?"
25849What does it all maan, anyway?"
25849What have ye to say to that?"
25849What help can_ we_ give?"
25849What is your answer?"
25849What shall we do?"
25849What was the explanation to be?
25849What''s become of that dog?"
25849What''s her name?"
25849What''s to be done now?"
25849When will you be ready to start?"
25849Where could the spalpeens make a bigger haul?"
25849Where did I lose it?"
25849Where you going?"
25849Which course will you take in going home?"
25849Which reminds me, Mr. Calvert, to ask, did ye iver see the heart of an Irishman?"
25849Who are you and why are you in such an all- fired hurry?"
25849Who are you?"
25849Who shall describe the emotions of Mike Murphy during these exasperating moments?
25849Whoever imagined that Mike Murphy was gifted with so wonderful a voice?
25849Why did n''t they git to the_ Deerfut_ before me instead of laving it fur them chaps?
25849Why did n''t we notice it before?"
25849Why did n''t you fire when you were chasing and threatening me?"
25849Why did n''t you take us into your confidence from the first?"
25849Why did you do that?"
25849Why do you ask?"
25849Why should anyone sarch here fur ye?"
25849Will you do so?"
25849Will you please tell me how far it is to Beartown landing?"
25849With a profane expletive expressing his surprise, he demanded:"Where did you come from?"
25849With anger turned into sympathy, the captor asked:"Where did I hit you?"
25849Would n''t it be well to hit up the pace a little?"
25849Would the good woman advise them where to apply?
25849You have enough funds?"
25849ai nt I lucky?"
25849she added when they had stood motionless for a few seconds;"do you hear that?"
25849there would n''t be any sich race as this, as Brian O''Donovan said-- phwat''s that?"
26175A detective is employed?
26175A detective?
26175A stranger?
26175A what?
26175Against your daughter?
26175Ah, yes; but, my dear baron, you will indorse it?
26175Amalie would not marry you?
26175And again why?
26175And did she know that you loved her?
26175And did she love you?
26175And did she show any indication to look favorably upon his professions of attachment?
26175And he claimed to have loved her?
26175And he spoke English?
26175And previously they were very fond of her?
26175And she displayed the utmost aversion to him?
26175And the Richards family appear to have turned against your daughter?
26175And the Richards family, do they exhibit any anxiety?
26175And they still entertain the baron?
26175And they suggest that he knows where she is?
26175And this is your trick?
26175And what does he say?
26175And what is that?
26175And what is the name of this baron?
26175And who referred you to me, madam?
26175And who was your informant?
26175And why have you told me this strange, weird narrative?
26175And you are a detective?
26175And you have been searching for parties to whom you might give this fortune?
26175And you know the mother of this missing girl?
26175And you know their purpose?
26175And you made my acquaintance with design?
26175And you think it belongs to me?
26175And you will find my child?
26175And you will never regret your decision; and now, sir, how about my child?
26175And your name?
26175Answer me first: Have you any reason to believe that you know anything about a person named Amalie Stevens?
26175But how will I prove all the facts in court?
26175But suppose he is a real baron?
26175But what can be their motive?
26175But why should you offer me money?
26175By her friends you mean the family with whom she resided?
26175By whom?
26175Can you bid me hope?
26175Consequences to us?
26175Dear me, is that all?
26175Did he call alone?
26175Did you ever impart this fact to your daughter?
26175Did you ever see this daughter?
26175Did your daughter ever speak to you about this young man?
26175Do n''t let any one know it?
26175Do you believe the draft a forgery?
26175Do you know the date of your birth?
26175Do you think she would commit actual crime?
26175Do you want me to be frank?
26175Does he exhibit any sorrow or anxiety?
26175For quite a sum?
26175Give me time to think,said the baron in a husky tone, and then after rising and drinking ice water from a goblet he asked:"What does all this mean?"
26175Have you any suspicion why you were named Amalie?
26175Have you ever sought to find out what your name was previous to your marriage?
26175Have you seen the baron?
26175Have you such confidence in me?
26175Have you suspected their motive?
26175He has not offered to aid you in finding her?
26175Hello, has he played you?
26175Her threat?
26175How can I escape?
26175How did he manage to convey his information to you?
26175How do you know?
26175How old are you?
26175How so?
26175How will you put it now?
26175How?
26175How?
26175How?
26175How?
26175I am surprised; do you fear non- payment?
26175I am wrong?
26175I am?
26175I can not borrow from you, but if you would accept a draft on Berlin----"Why not?
26175I do not?
26175I have not learned anything positively, but let me ask you, is there any one else who would have a motive in abducting your daughter?
26175I promised you its equivalent?
26175In my bewilderment and anxiety I may have done so; but, sir, what do these questions mean?
26175In one way?
26175In what direction?
26175Indeed?
26175Indeed?
26175Indeed?
26175Is that necessary, sir?
26175Is that so?
26175It is not strange?
26175It is not true?
26175Let me ask, have you made any discoveries concerning my daughter?
26175Let me see, did you ever hear the name Amalie Stevens?
26175Lost her?
26175Madam, do you not guess?
26175May I ask, sir, why you are so interested in my age and my maiden name?
26175May I first tell you my story, sir?
26175My communication,said the lawyer,"is confidential?"
26175On what do you found your belief?
26175One more question: How did you learn that I was interested in the case and start to deceive me when we first met?
26175One question: Whose portrait is that?
26175One way of escape?
26175Played me?
26175Really?
26175Richards is the name of the family with whom you resided?
26175Shall I tell you the history of that picture?
26175She did not say right out that she despised the baron?
26175She discussed the baron with you?
26175She may reappear?
26175She still lives?
26175She was an heiress?
26175Taken advantage of my kindness?
26175Tell me plainly why you made my acquaintance?
26175That is all?
26175The apparent change has come since her disappearance?
26175The parties in that box were the Richards family?
26175Then I have been misinformed?
26175Then they must have had a purpose?
26175Then what does it mean?
26175Then why do you gamble?
26175Then you are acquainted with her?
26175Then you are not a fraud?
26175Then you have a suspicion?
26175Then you know what caused her despondency?
26175Then your daughter is named after you?
26175There was a party in Box C?
26175They are favorable to the baron?
26175They are friends of yours?
26175This baron is their intimate friend?
26175Trapped?
26175Well?
26175Well?
26175Well?
26175What can we do but wait? 26175 What can you do?"
26175What could have caused the despondency?
26175What did I say, please?
26175What did she tell you?
26175What did she threaten?
26175What do you know?
26175What do you mean, madam?
26175What do you mean?
26175What do you suspect?
26175What do you suspect?
26175What does this mean?
26175What does this suggest, sir?
26175What evil do you fear?
26175What have you to say concerning Mrs. Richards? 26175 What information have you received?"
26175What is it?
26175What is your conclusion?
26175What is your idea?
26175What led her to make this threat?
26175What more?
26175What other suspicions?
26175What shall I do?
26175What sort of folks are these Richards people?
26175What was your information?
26175What way do you mean?
26175What?
26175Where did you come from? 26175 Where did you get this picture?"
26175Where is the baron?
26175Where?
26175Where?
26175Who holds this fortune?
26175Who is the party?
26175Who was your officious informant?
26175Who wore this garment?
26175Why do you ask me?
26175Why do you laugh?
26175Why do you say she will never reappear?
26175Why not, if the draft is good?
26175Why not?
26175Why not?
26175Why not?
26175Why not?
26175Why not?
26175Why not?
26175Why not?
26175Why should any one wish to prove that she is dead?
26175Why will I be shocked, madam? 26175 Why?"
26175Why?
26175Why?
26175Why?
26175Will you explain?
26175Will you tell me how young Wagner has taken advantage of my interest in him?
26175Yes, I know, but why should she be driven to suicide?
26175Yes, I observe that; but do you notice that the face is mutilated so the body will only be identified by the clothing? 26175 Yes, a stranger; why not?
26175Yes; but why did you come to me?
26175You admit you overstated the matter?
26175You appear to be an honorable man; let me ask you one question: Did you ever meet Miss Amalie Speir?
26175You are acquainted, madam, with a young man named August Wagner? 26175 You are certain?"
26175You believe now that Amalie Stevens survived?
26175You believe she lives?
26175You can not accept my note?
26175You can?
26175You can?
26175You claim to be a German baron?
26175You did not mean me to see it?
26175You distrust me?
26175You do not desire to see him humiliated?
26175You do not know?
26175You have received startling information?
26175You have the mate to the picture?
26175You knew the original?
26175You know her mother?
26175You know his character, do n''t you?
26175You know it will be paid?
26175You know this detective?
26175You loved her?
26175You mean you would commit murder?
26175You recognize it?
26175You say you know the original of these two portraits?
26175You say you were rightly informed?
26175You say your girlhood lineaments are preserved in your daughter?
26175You shall always be sad?
26175You suspect?
26175You think so?
26175You were at the opera this evening?
26175Your child?
26175Your intimate friend?
26175Your name is Jones, I believe?
26175Ah, that is it; and you will make the draft?"
26175All he said was:"Then you believe she is dead?"
26175Are you a criminal?"
26175As the latter resumed his seat Jack said:"Do you know that man?"
26175Did Amalie know that she was an heiress?"
26175Do you not know that her mother has come into her share of the property, and is at present living in a magnificent mansion of her own?"
26175Have you the draft?"
26175He fixed his fine eyes on the detective, and after a moment said:"From whom did you hear this?"
26175He said:"Tavares, you have a note?"
26175How much will you need?"
26175I am so glad to oblige you-- why not?"
26175I see that is the part of it you are investigating?"
26175Is it possible that after all these years I am to learn who my parents were?"
26175Jack had the money all right,"why not?"
26175Jack meditated for a long time, and Mrs. Speir at length asked:"Will you tell me, sir, what this all means?
26175Jack pressed his question, and the party asked:"Why do you wish to know?"
26175Jack saw that he was making headway, and said:"Did you ever hear the name Canfield?"
26175Let me see, what is the name-- did you say Richards?"
26175Madam, is there no name that is familiar to you, no name that awakens memories when you hear it?"
26175Now tell me, how did you learn that the young man, August Wagner, was a pseudo baron?"
26175On the day following our hero called upon Mrs. Speir, and that lady demanded in eager tones:"Do you bring me news of my daughter?"
26175Probably you prefer beer?"
26175Richards?"
26175Shall I tell you all?"
26175Shall we meet to- morrow and lunch together?"
26175She is very much distressed; and now, come to think, are you the young German baron alluded to in the case?"
26175She said as she joined the baron:"I received your hurried message; what has occurred?"
26175Speir?"
26175Tell me, sir, what does it all mean-- where did you get that picture?"
26175The banker started, and exclaimed:"I thought you had positive evidence of the child''s death?"
26175The baron glared and turned pale-- very pale-- and finally asked:"Are you sure?"
26175The baron''s face became ghastly, and the detective asked:"What is the matter?
26175The detective repeated:"Your name is Amalie?"
26175The lawyer made no remark and the detective asked:"What do you know about him?"
26175The question arose, Was he refusing the money fairly or was he merely playing a game?
26175The woman began to break up, and she demanded in eager tones:"Has my husband repudiated the acceptance?"
26175The woman meditated a moment, and then said:"This rash young man, can it be possible that in anticipation of remittances he has dared do this?"
26175The woman turned deathly pale, and after a moment in a trembling tone asked:"Why do you mention that name?"
26175There followed a moment''s silence and then the woman asked:"What do you conclude now?"
26175There was intense eagerness in the tones of our hero''s voice despite his effort to conceal his interest when he asked:"Madam, do you know your age?"
26175This was a chance in the woman''s favor, and upon her appearance he exclaimed:"You here?"
26175Wagner made no answer, but asked:"Do you know them?"
26175Wagner sat for a moment with a solemn and perplexed look upon his handsome face, when suddenly he demanded:"Who are you?"
26175Were you aware that Miss Amalie Speir was an heiress?"
26175Were you drunk?
26175What do you know about the Richards family?"
26175What do you suppose could have been her motive?"
26175What is your daughter''s name?"
26175When she did gain sufficient composure she said:"What have you been doing?"
26175When will you redeem the note?"
26175Who can the man be?"
26175Why should they become so deeply interested in this penniless girl?
26175Why should this man secrete the girl Amalie Speir?
26175Why, has he worked you?"
26175You gave me to understand that August Wagner was a pseudo baron?"
26175You will go with me?"
26175did you make a confidant of that man?"
26175you are the detective?"
27209''Take care-- something----''What''s this? 27209 Again?"
27209And you got the stuff at Skunk''s Misery, out of a bottle like this? 27209 Anything else?"
27209Anything gone wrong?
27209Are you safe from your mother here-- and can you get food for yourself?
27209But I told him----D''ye mean he just_ let_ you find him?
27209But why stay here-- with Dudley?
27209But--Collins halted where he swarmed up into Thompson''s stope--"where''ll you go?
27209But-- why? 27209 By gad,"it said,"he would, would he?
27209Ca n''t you see the man''s gone, Stretton? 27209 Ca n''t you see you''ve no reason to worry about Hutton?
27209Call a couple of the bunk- house men to carry these four back to their shack and clean up this mess, will you? 27209 Can you do two more miles of running, over that?"
27209Charliet was? 27209 Charliet,"said I blankly;"where in the world is he?
27209Collins?
27209D''ye know Marcia thinks Macartney wants to marry her?
27209D''ye mean to say you''ve been living here,_ hiding_, ever since you cleared out, and I thought the wolves ate you? 27209 D''ye mean you came to fight wolves?"
27209D''ye mean you left Dudley-- out there in the bush? 27209 D''ye mean you saw him-- when he shot them?"
27209D''ye mean you think he never went to Caraquet?
27209D''ye mean you''d known Dudley before?
27209D''ye mean_ that_ was all you found?
27209Did you----Were you looking for any one?
27209Do n''t talk of it, will you?
27209Do n''t you think so, Paulette?
27209Do you mean Thompson''s been found dead?--the quiet man who was here when I came?
27209Do you mean you want to go back?
27209Do? 27209 Does Macartney think so too?"
27209Drive on, will you?
27209Dudley?
27209Going to bed?
27209Had anything to eat all day, except a hard ride and a fight?
27209Have what?
27209Have you brought the-- other girl-- to hunt wolves, too?
27209Have you run over a hundred skunks?
27209How did you get here?
27209How did you get-- out of Thompson''s stope? 27209 How far are we from Billy Jones''s?"
27209How fast do you dare go?
27209How on earth did Skunk''s Misery filth get in my wagon?
27209How?
27209Hurry up, will you? 27209 I mean-- for what I said to Nicky as we came in?"
27209I? 27209 If I''ve helped you at all, why ca n''t you tell me all the trouble, instead of Dudley?"
27209Is n''t it? 27209 Just what-- are you going to do?"
27209Look here, do you know you shot a man in the swamp?
27209Lying round loose?
27209Me?
27209Mr. Stretton, ca n''t you hurry the horses? 27209 Mr. Stretton, what''s that?"
27209Mr. Stretton, you''re not angry with me for coming with you?
27209My God, Mr. Stretton,he said, stolidly too,"what do you make of this?"
27209Next?
27209Oh, it''s you, Stretton? 27209 Oh,"Paulette cried as sharply as if I had struck her,"do you mean you''re taking me on trust-- in spite of everything?"
27209Only, if that Valenka girl did n''t steal his emeralds, Mr. Wilbraham, who did?
27209Put a bullet in him? 27209 See them?"
27209Seen me?
27209She''s_ what_?
27209So, as I had to come with you,she resumed without looking at me,"do n''t you think we''d better get on?
27209Stay here? 27209 Take her from me, will you?"
27209Tell him?
27209Then why, in heaven''s name, did n''t you tell Dudley who he was?
27209Then,said my dream girl quietly,"will you please stop the horses?"
27209To come back and take a letter-- where you had taken his horse?
27209Valenka? 27209 Was he?"
27209Was that Macartney?
27209Was that-- the first time you saw me?
27209Well, you were pretty unpleasant, and--as I kissed her, my dear love I had never thought to touch--"oh, Nicky, how could I tell you?
27209Well?
27209Well?
27209What are we going to do-- first?
27209What are you doing here? 27209 What are you talking about all this time?"
27209What d''ye mean?
27209What did you mean, just now, about not being sure of me-- with Hutton?
27209What do you suppose became of Charliet? 27209 What do you think about getting out of this?
27209What do you think of doing about it?
27209What do_ you_ think?
27209What for?
27209What happened about him?
27209What on earth is Skunk''s Misery?
27209What on earth put wolves in your head?
27209What possessed you to stay in the tunnel-- or to follow me? 27209 What the devil''s the matter with you, Macartney?
27209What the dickens possessed you to take Paulette with you that night? 27209 What thief?"
27209What were you going to say to- night about no one having seen poor old Thompson-- when you cut yourself off?
27209What''s brought you back again?
27209What''s that?
27209What''s that?
27209What''s the matter with you? 27209 What-- Skunk''s Misery?"
27209What? 27209 What?"
27209What?
27209What?
27209What?
27209What?
27209What?
27209When did he write this?
27209Where the devil have you been all day? 27209 Where was his canoe?"
27209Where''d you get him?
27209Where''s your gold?
27209Who found it? 27209 Who was right, Nicky Stretton?"
27209Who''s to say he did n''t?
27209Why did n''t you tell me all that-- the night I came over to your mother''s?
27209Why in blazes do n''t you tell me what you left Marcia for, after bullying me because I did? 27209 Why under heaven do you work me up about abstract justice, Macartney?"
27209Why? 27209 Why?"
27209Wolves?
27209You know that? 27209 You mean you took them?"
27209You''re not angry, Dudley?
27209You''re sure she did n''t go and tell that man about me, anyway?
27209You? 27209 You?"
27209_ Ride?_I thought she laughed.
27209_ What?_said I.
27209And Dudley''s self- important voice cut through my thoughts like a knife:"Where on earth were you this evening, Paulette?"
27209And then,_ quoi faire_?
27209And what''s happened to my gold?"
27209And where the devil''s Billy?"
27209And why are you and Paulette here, if you thought I was killed?"
27209Anything I can do for you?"
27209But Dudley snapped at him:"Why ca n''t you say it''s in the house-- in my office?
27209But I said,"Then why''s she here?"
27209But Paulette only gasped, as if she did not care whether I knew it or not,"Where-- how-- did you get these cards?"
27209But before I could say so Dudley burst out with the same truculence he had used about Billy Jones:"What d''ye mean Stretton must have heard?"
27209But want you-- when do you suppose I have n''t wanted you, ever since the night I first saw you by Dudley''s fire?
27209But what troubles me is-- can''t you see he''d gone crazy?
27209But"--sharply--"where the devil''s Marcia?"
27209But, if it were, why did not Paulette Brown say so,--or say something-- instead of standing dead white and silent till I turned away?
27209But, if you know the inside of the business, how did that cousin Macartney was talking of ever get hold of that emerald necklace?
27209But-- where in heaven''s name was Paulette now?
27209But--"You''re sure about Paulette?"
27209CHAPTER IV THE MAN IN THE DARK It sounded crazy, for what could a girl like that do to gold that was securely packed?
27209CHAPTER V THE CARAQUET ROAD: AND THE WOLVES HOWL ONCE MORE Why comest thou to ride with me?
27209CHAPTER VI MOSTLY WOLVES: AND A GIRL Oh, what was that drew screaming breath?
27209CHAPTER X I INTERFERE FOR THE LAST TIME"Must I go now-- in the moonlight clear?
27209Ca n''t you see I mean to do all I can to help you-- and Dudley?"
27209Ca n''t you see I was afraid, Nicky, that you might-- get killed for me, too?"
27209Ca n''t you see he never stole any emeralds nor loved that girl, any more than he killed you?
27209Ca n''t you see there''s not a light in the shack, bar the kitchen one?
27209Can you ride?"
27209D''ye know him?
27209D''ye mean he had n''t told you about Collins and Dunn?
27209D''ye mean you did n''t see him going through?"
27209D''ye mean you followed me and left her-- left a girl-- to Macartney?
27209D''ye mean you knew who she was, too?"
27209D''ye mean you thought you did?"
27209Did n''t Macartney imply he was in British Columbia?"
27209Did n''t they say what it was?"
27209Did you suppose Stretton here could fight me?
27209Do you hear?
27209Do you mean you''re going to run away with that-- that girl?"
27209Does this mean he killed_ Thompson_, too?"
27209Dost thou and thine then side with me?
27209Going to trust us?"
27209Got anything to say against that, hey?"
27209Got it?
27209Have we got to be quite so quick?"
27209He had a flask, of course,--when had he not?
27209He''d got into trouble over a copper mine-- you''ve heard Macartney talk of the Urals?"
27209I cried out,"My God, Paulette, why did you come?"
27209I had no time to hatch up a lie about him, and I was not going to drag in Paulette--"that-- whoever was there, never even fired at you?"
27209I inquired absently, because I was rummaging my pockets for cartridges,"Who''d dare?
27209I muttered,"Why did n''t you tell me-- out there on the lake?"
27209I nodded back at the teamsters:"Where did they find him?"
27209I said,"How d''ye mean Dudley''s killed?
27209I said,"What hell''s trick are you up to now?"
27209I suppose he told you some lie about giving you up for Van Ruyne''s necklace, unless you made silence worth while with Dudley''s gold?"
27209I----""Well?"
27209I----Oh, ca n''t you see I''ll be like a rat in a trap?--not able to do anything?
27209If he did take it, to get me into his power"--she caught my arm in her slim hands I had always known were so strong--"can''t you see he''s_ got_ me?"
27209My God, what am I going to do?"
27209My heart of hearts, do n''t you know I love you?"
27209Oh, who was that cried out in death?
27209Oh, why did n''t I throw the thing away into the woods, long ago?"
27209Oh, you would, would you?"
27209Open that box, will you?
27209Remember?"
27209See them?"
27209Somebody-- not Charliet-- shouted over the noise,"What the devil''s that for?"
27209That good- for- nothing devil who was always trailing after you?
27209That you did n''t love the poor chap best?"
27209That you knew all along who Macartney was-- and never told me?"
27209Understand?"
27209Unless,"he turned boldly to her,"you do n''t want that, Miss Valenka?"
27209Was it true-- what Charliet told us to- night-- about Dudley Wilbraham?"
27209What about the Mappin murder, way back in nineteen- five?
27209What about the first time I take any gold out over the Caraquet road-- and he and his gang try a hold- up on me?"
27209What am I going to do?
27209What are you up for?"
27209What do you suppose I''d ever have been in this game_ for_, if I had n''t wanted just you in all this world?
27209What do you want?"
27209What have you done with Macart-- with Dick Hutton-- that you said you had him safe for now?"
27209What he?"
27209What in hell do you mean?"
27209What of Paulette if she slackened with weariness, if I led her wrong by six inches, or missed a single threatening sign on the stuff we fled over?
27209What on earth did the old man mean?"
27209What was her name?
27209Where is he?"
27209Where the devil was Baker, that black and white weasel you set to look after him?
27209Where was Paulette?
27209Who killed him?"
27209Who on earth"--but he stammered on it--"Who d''ye mean by Hutton?"
27209Why did n''t you come and cut them off when I yelled for you?
27209Why on earth are you poking in the ashes?
27209Why?"
27209Yet,"Where do you suppose Macartney is?"
27209You believe me, do n''t you?
27209You do n''t think Dudley can be right and they_ are_ still alive-- and have joined Dick''s gang?"
27209You must have heard about her, Stretton?"
27209You''re not afraid we''ll be held up, are you?
27209she said between her teeth,"and that, next thing, he''ll get the La Chance gold?
28769A Wochen- Blatt? 28769 And run away with my money?"
28769Are you ready?
28769Are you there, chief?
28769As I understand-- am I right?--you were a newsboy up to a year ago?
28769Can I do anything, before I leave for New York tonight?
28769Coming with us, Bronson?
28769Did the boy send a telegram?
28769Did you get word from him?
28769Do you know what this is?
28769Do you live in Chicago or in Wayland?
28769Do you see that field over there? 28769 Does he like books?"
28769Easy code, professor-- what does it mean?
28769For me?
28769Have you come from far?
28769He has been a nuisance, has n''t he?
28769Hello, Pop-- what''s the trouble?
28769Hello, what is this?
28769How can they have found out about our plans? 28769 How many men have you, Herr Winckel?"
28769How''s business?
28769I wonder what happened? 28769 Is Jack going to tell Ted?"
28769Is Mr. Smythe obtaining the necessary information, do you know?
28769Is all this too complex for you, my boy?
28769Is there any way in which we can find out the last time someone in the house saw the prisoners?
28769It''s almost time for our friends to be here, is n''t it? 28769 Mrs. Marsh, I believe?"
28769Now, how can we get that fellow out of the building for half an hour?
28769One thousand dollars-- and for me?
28769Paper, sir, papers?
28769Paper, sir?
28769Quiet, are n''t they?
28769Shall we go over the ammunition storehouses, those that are in Canada and those that are in this country?
28769That''s a fine letter, is n''t it?
28769That''s a splendid idea, is n''t it?
28769The world is a small place, is n''t it?
28769Then why do n''t you buy him a nice book for his birthday?
28769This letter and the enclosure will be a great surprise to Ted, wo n''t it?
28769Want a paper?
28769Want to buy a paper? 28769 We had better make sure we do all our sneezing outside, eh?"
28769Well, Ted, hear anything more from our friends, the enemy?
28769Well, lad, are you afraid?
28769Well,said Bronson,"I reckon it''s up to the boy, is n''t it?"
28769What can it mean?
28769What do you do at your place-- Wayland, I think you said?
28769What is your name?
28769When is he due?
28769Where are you going now, Spot?
28769Where do you live, what part?
28769Which ones, my dear?
28769Who is Strong?
28769Who is that?
28769Why would they be sending a child and for what?
28769Will you be good enough to let the light burn, as some of the folks are not in yet? 28769 Will you tell us, Schoen?"
28769You have your commands assigned, have you not?
28769You mean it, Ted?
28769Better be sure, eh?"
28769But I guess you will be glad to be back, wo n''t you?"
28769But how was their escape managed and why after ten?
28769By the way, Wilson,"he turned to the captain,"you have an instructor in German here, have you not?"
28769Can you do anything?"
28769Could it be a trap, he wondered?
28769Could n''t you buy them for my birthday present?"
28769Did Mr. Dean see you?"
28769Did they have outside help and how did the outside help know of their imprisonment here?
28769Do you think you could manage to fix yourself up as one and meet us in front of the Auditorium?"
28769Have you a match?"
28769He accosted the man who looked up from a desk with:"Want a boy?"
28769Helen interrupted:"Looking for Mr. Who?
28769How about your part, O''Reilly?"
28769How could he get to the boy''s mother without being observed?
28769How long will you be gone?"
28769I guess you and I have met both Dean and Helen, have n''t we?
28769Is it really you?
28769Is this your regular stand?"
28769It''s a man''s job, what, then, could a boy do?"
28769Jack, dear, whoever said that God did not weave our lives?
28769LAMMIE WANTS TO LEARN"Can you do tricks on a pumpkin, the way I can?"
28769News, Post, American, Staats- Zeitung?"
28769Now, I suppose you are even more anxious to know what it is all about?"
28769Perhaps we can both go up home together, eh?"
28769See?
28769Strong?"
28769Suppose they got on to----?"
28769Tell me, is he from a family of wealth?"
28769That is correct, is it not?"
28769Then, in a voice so low Strong could barely hear him, he inquired,"Are you pretty well tied?
28769Thought you went''way out West?"
28769To go into the building and take chances?
28769To miss this meeting, which perhaps was important; to go there, on the other hand, and endanger the chances of his getting to that night meeting?
28769What are you here for?
28769What do you say?"
28769What is the other business?"
28769What time is Captain Knabe coming?"
28769When do you expect to write home?"
28769When do you want to return to Wayland, Ted?"
28769Where can we change?"
28769Who should have known him better than his own wife?
28769Will you, Mr. Schmidt, explain the call for this meeting?"
28769Will you, Mr. Smythe, telegraph to Toronto, and tell the chief just what has been done?"
28769Would he be able to carry out the plans?
28769You know her, do n''t you?
28769You leave at four on Saturday afternoon?
28769You will all be here?
20546A quarter- past six-- is that the right time?
20546About Nepcote, do you mean?
20546About this case?
20546All writing is the same, is n''t it? 20546 Am I the first person to whom you have told this story?"
20546And how do you propose to find out?
20546And how long did she live here?
20546And the murderer entered by the door?
20546And there is no doubt that the door at the bottom was locked?
20546And what did you do then?
20546And what did you do with it afterwards?
20546And what did you do?
20546And what has that got to do with me?
20546And where did she get it from?
20546And why have you confided in me now?
20546And you complied with her request?
20546And you let him go again? 20546 And you say that your daughter was with you at the time, and had been with you a considerable time before?"
20546Any change, nurse?
20546Anything compromising?
20546Anything taken?
20546Apparently the murderer has got clean away without leaving a trace behind him?
20546Are the jewels safe?
20546Are you Captain Nepcote?
20546Are you convinced now, Phil?
20546Are you quite sure of that?
20546Are you thinking of the Hope blue diamond? 20546 At the time you came to see me, you believed that Captain Nepcote had murdered your wife?"
20546Before you try to trace the missing necklace?
20546But can he be got at once?
20546But how did he escape? 20546 But how do you account for the door being unlocked in the first instance?"
20546But might I-- that is to say, could you spare me a few minutes''conversation?
20546But what was her motive for committing such an atrocious crime?
20546But why should he follow us here?
20546Can we go so far as to assume that she is keeping silence to shield him? 20546 Can you describe him more particularly?"
20546Can you tell me when you last saw the necklace?
20546Can you? 20546 Captain Nepcote''s revolver is not an army weapon?"
20546Captain Nepcote? 20546 Colwyn-- the famous private detective?
20546Could not the murderer have climbed up to the bedroom by that creeper?
20546Could the wound have been self- inflicted?
20546Could you not take a later train?
20546Dead? 20546 Did Miss Heredith know anything of her housekeeper''s past?"
20546Did either of you hear the scream or the shot?
20546Did he escape by the window? 20546 Did he give you his name?"
20546Did he leave before the murder was committed?
20546Did it contain valuable jewels?
20546Did she see you?
20546Did she tell you if they had ever quarrelled?
20546Did you ask her for leave of absence?
20546Did you catch a glimpse of the person in the room-- whoever it was-- when you were caught by the throat?
20546Did you go upstairs?
20546Did you hear me? 20546 Did you hear the scream and the shot?"
20546Did you hear the window being opened?
20546Did you mention to anybody that you saw her?
20546Did you never discover anything more about the two dead men in the cave?
20546Did you notice her actions?
20546Did you observe anything about the revolver when you picked it up?
20546Did you remind Violet about the necklace?
20546Did you return the key to the housekeeper''s apartments immediately?
20546Did you return to France that night?
20546Did you search the back staircase?
20546Did you see anybody except Miss Heredith in the hall or on the staircase of the left wing while you were standing at the end of the passage?
20546Did you see your mother when you got downstairs on the night of the murder?
20546Did you suppose that they referred to the murder?
20546Do n''t you?
20546Do the police believe it?
20546Do the servants know where the key is kept?
20546Do they think that I murdered Violet? 20546 Do you also refuse to tell us what you have done with the brooch you were wearing last night?"
20546Do you always allow three months to elapse between your visits?
20546Do you know the names of these girl friends who used to write to her?
20546Do you know whether Captain Nepcote took it from the gun- room after the target shooting?
20546Do you know whether the revolver was seen by anybody between the time of Captain Nepcote''s departure and its discovery in Hazel Rath''s possession?
20546Do you like the millinery business, Hazel?
20546Do you mean Hazel Rath?
20546Do you mean the door at the bottom of the staircase in the left wing?
20546Do you mean the housekeeper''s daughter?
20546Do you mean to let the world know the truth-- to give him up to justice?
20546Do you mind telling me now on what ground you based that belief?
20546Do you not intend to make any further inquiries? 20546 Do you not think that the trinket found by Detective Caldew in Mrs. Heredith''s bedroom has some bearing on the murder?"
20546Do you return immediately to the front?
20546Do you suspect anybody?
20546Do you think he has told us the truth?
20546Do you think mother and daughter have acted in collusion in this murder?
20546Do you think she will be well enough to go to- night?
20546Do you think this has anything to do with the murder?
20546Do you want to go to prison?
20546Do you yourself believe it possible that Hazel Rath is innocent?
20546Does Hazel Rath still refuse to explain how her brooch came to be found in Mrs. Heredith''s bedroom and subsequently disappeared?
20546Does Miss Heredith say that the window was locked, or merely closed, when she was in the room?
20546Does Miss Heredith share her nephew''s belief in Miss Rath''s innocence?
20546Does she still refuse to speak?
20546Does the housekeeper occupy only one room?
20546Does your daughter live with you here?
20546Finished?
20546For what purpose? 20546 For what purpose?"
20546For what purpose?
20546From the Heredith collection, I presume?
20546From what material are they carved?
20546Has anything been missed?
20546Has it any outlet?
20546Have I said something foolish?
20546Have Mr. and Mrs. Weyne been here?
20546Have you any idea where it is?
20546Have you any more of it?
20546Have you any other reason for thinking that the murderer may have escaped by this window?
20546Have you discovered anything about Mrs. Heredith''s antecedents?
20546Have you finished with it?
20546Have you found out anything yet, Tom?
20546Have you found the bullet?
20546Have you made any fresh discoveries about the case?
20546Have you nothing to say?
20546Have you told Sir Philip?
20546Have you told her about the recent developments of the case?
20546Have you told them everything?
20546Hazel in love with me?
20546He thought the murderer may have entered the house that way? 20546 He wants to know everything that has happened since he was taken ill. What shall we do?"
20546He-- Nepcote-- why should he be watching us?
20546He? 20546 How are you getting on with your investigations in this case?"
20546How are you, Hazel?
20546How are you?
20546How could I? 20546 How did you come to tell the story?"
20546How did you spend last night?
20546How do you account for the brooch being found in your wife''s bedroom? 20546 How do you arrive at that conclusion?"
20546How do you come to have Mrs. Heredith''s necklace?
20546How do you feel? 20546 How do you identify the revolver as his property?"
20546How do you know Nepcote said this?
20546How do you know that?
20546How else can we explain Nepcote''s appearance in the mystery, except on the ground that he may have murdered her for the necklace? 20546 How is Violet?"
20546How is your head now, Violet? 20546 How is your patient, the young husband?"
20546How long afterwards?
20546How long has this window been open?
20546How long have I been lying here?
20546How long is it since you visited her previously?
20546How long was the interval between the scream and the shot?
20546How often?
20546How was that?
20546I presume you have come down to see Phil?
20546I suppose her husband would know them?
20546I suppose it is no use searching about here for him?
20546I suppose the collection is a very fine and varied one?
20546I suppose there is nobody upstairs in the left wing?
20546I thought you said it was safe?
20546I understand that you were not present at the dinner table when the shot was fired?
20546I wonder how she got the blood on the handkerchief?
20546I wonder where the key is?
20546If that was the skeleton of the man who killed the other for stealing the ruby, who placed the ruby where you found it? 20546 If the key was hanging with a number of others it might have been taken some time before and not be missed?"
20546If this man Nepcote did not commit the murder, who did? 20546 If your story is true, why have you not told it before?"
20546In Islington, for instance?
20546In order to hide its identity? 20546 In order to shield Nepcote?"
20546In pity''s name tell me what dreadful thing has happened? 20546 In that case, shall we take our coffee into the smoking- room?"
20546In the name of God, why?
20546In what direction?
20546In what respect?
20546Is Miss Heredith in?
20546Is Mr. Wendover in?
20546Is Philip Heredith well- liked in the district?
20546Is Violet having any dinner?
20546Is Violet unable to go with us to the Weynes''to- night?
20546Is everything quite right, Tufnell?
20546Is it as true as your other statement?
20546Is it consistent that the two telegrams were sent to different addresses? 20546 Is it essential that I should attend?"
20546Is it in the safe?
20546Is it necessary for you to go so early, Vincent?
20546Is it necessary to go into this, Merrington?
20546Is it not likely that some of them would have been clustered near the foot of the staircase, wondering what had happened?
20546Is it possible?
20546Is it your custom to try this door every night?
20546Is it your opinion, then, that Miss Rath is guilty?
20546Is it your wish to retire now?
20546Is it...?
20546Is it?
20546Is n''t it a typical female hiding- place? 20546 Is she here now?"
20546Is she still here?
20546Is that the true explanation?
20546Is that the way you regard it?
20546Is that the whole of your story?
20546Is that the window of the room in which Mrs. Heredith was murdered?
20546Is the funeral over?
20546Is there any other way of looking at it?
20546Is there no hope? 20546 Is there no other means of escape from the wing except by the staircase?"
20546Is there no other way?
20546Is there not a window in the bedroom? 20546 Is this Musard the jewel expert of that name?"
20546Is this your first visit to the moat- house since Mrs. Heredith came here to live?
20546Is this your revolver?
20546May I ask who you are?
20546May I ask why you left the table?
20546May I look at the ring?
20546May I take it, then, that you were in your mother''s room at the time Mrs. Heredith was murdered?
20546Might I ask you a question, sir?
20546Mrs. Heredith had more jewellery than this, I suppose?
20546Mrs. Rath''s daughter was staying with her last night, was n''t she?
20546No sign of any weapon?
20546Nor missed it?
20546Nor when you placed it in your dress to carry it downstairs?
20546Of course the necklace is well- known to jewel experts?
20546Of course you realize the position in which you place yourself by your silence?
20546Oh, Miss Rath used to live here, did she? 20546 Oh, Phil,"responded his aunt piteously,"it seems hard to believe, but what else can we think?
20546Oh, Vincent, do you think it is wise?
20546Oh, why can not you leave me alone?
20546Perhaps it was not Nepcote that you saw?
20546Perhaps you would like Phil to remain with you?
20546Phil, dear,she said, hastening to his side,"is this wise?"
20546Shall I send you up some dinner?
20546Shall we have a cigar in the garden?
20546Shall we make a start?
20546She has no other room in any other part of the house?
20546She lives there, I suppose?
20546She turned to the right, then, as she emerged from the passage, and walked in the direction of the left wing?
20546She was quite dead when you saw her?
20546She went across to the village to see her mother, who is ill."With your permission, I presume?
20546Should n''t we?
20546So he is her old sweetheart, is he?
20546So you''re a rozzer, are you? 20546 Surely this stone is not jade?"
20546Surely you do not think Hazel guilty?
20546The Weynes? 20546 The aorta?
20546The corpse has not been moved, I suppose?
20546The door was open when the others came upstairs, you said, Caldew?
20546The key had been taken off the bunch?
20546The more important point is, did he get in that way? 20546 The statement you made to me this morning when you assured me your daughter had left this house to return to her employment at Stading?"
20546The window-- what of it?
20546Then how did Hazel Rath obtain possession of his revolver?
20546Then the cause of death was hæmorrhage?
20546Then what induced Teddy Weyne to bury himself alive in the wilds? 20546 Then when did you learn about the murder?"
20546Then will you undertake it?
20546They are popular with everybody, are they?
20546Thinking of dining here, Caldew?
20546Time for what?
20546Was Mrs. Heredith''s jewel- case in her bedroom the night she was murdered?
20546Was that done by the police surgeon?
20546Was the dress- stuff smouldering when you saw the body?
20546Was the main blood vessel of the lung broken?
20546Was this before or after you saw Miss Heredith leave the dining- room?
20546Well, has he been here this morning?
20546Were all the blinds down in the dining- room last night during dinner?
20546Were all your guests in the dining- room at the time the scream and the shot were heard?
20546Were the blinds all drawn in the dining- room during dinner last night, Tufnell?
20546Were you alone in your room?
20546Were you there all the time?
20546What about the diamond? 20546 What about the window of your wife''s room?"
20546What are they to be told?
20546What are you going to do now?
20546What are you implying?
20546What be you goin''there for, Tom?
20546What d''ye mean by coming to me with such a question? 20546 What did he say to you?"
20546What did they do to me? 20546 What did you do when you left the dining- room?"
20546What did you want me for?
20546What do you mean by that?
20546What do you mean? 20546 What do you mean?
20546What do you mean?
20546What do you wish to do first, Detective Caldew?
20546What had brought about such a tragedy in the dim recesses of that prehistoric cave? 20546 What infernal woman?"
20546What interpretation did you place on these overheard words?
20546What is Hazel Rath''s position if we admit any such supposition? 20546 What is a tiki?"
20546What is it? 20546 What is it?"
20546What is that?
20546What is your name, my dear?
20546What is your own opinion?
20546What made you try the door? 20546 What makes you think I let him go?"
20546What makes you think so?
20546What makes you think that?
20546What makes you think we are looking for Nepcote in Islington?
20546What other course is there open for me to pursue?
20546What other statement?
20546What sort of a trinket?
20546What time are you having dinner?
20546What time did the butler make his discovery?
20546What time did you reach the moat- house?
20546What time is it now?
20546What time was it when you found it?
20546What time was this?
20546What took you to Mrs. Heredith''s room in the first place?
20546What was that?
20546What would you say if your mother admits that you left her room before the murder was committed, and that she did not see you until afterwards?
20546What''s the best way to Chidelham, Kate?
20546What''s the idea of having it earlier?
20546What''s the use of talking about what followed? 20546 When did you arrive here?"
20546When did you see her?
20546When do you expect them to return?
20546When was the last time you tried the door?
20546When will Dr. Holmes be here?
20546Where are Superintendent Merrington and Captain Stanhill?
20546Where are the housekeeper''s rooms?
20546Where did Hazel get the revolver?
20546Where did this happen?
20546Where did you find these things?
20546Where did you get it?
20546Where did you have it last?
20546Where did you learn it?
20546Where did you learn this?
20546Where does this passage lead to?
20546Where from?
20546Where have I seen you before?
20546Where is he?
20546Where is her necklace?
20546Where is it gone? 20546 Where is it?"
20546Where is the door which opens on the back staircase of this wing?
20546Where is the murderer?
20546Where was she going?
20546Where was she?
20546Where was your daughter last night when the murder was committed?
20546Where were you standing while you were waiting?
20546Where were you when the shot was fired?
20546Where were you?
20546Who gave you permission to go?
20546Who has charge of the room where the keys are kept?
20546Who is Captain Nepcote?
20546Who is Hazel Rath?
20546Who is her employer?
20546Who proposed the game?
20546Who shall I say, sir?
20546Who told you so?
20546Who was that?
20546Who was the man, then, who clutched Hazel Rath, by the throat?
20546Who will believe him?
20546Who would unlock it?
20546Who?
20546Why did Hazel Rath keep silence?
20546Why did Mrs. Heredith give you her necklace?
20546Why did he murder her, then, in that case?
20546Why did you bring me here to torture me?
20546Why did you not come in with the other servants to be examined?
20546Why did you not inform the police officers when they were investigating the case?
20546Why did you not return to the dining- room?
20546Why did you permit her to go?
20546Why do they think she has killed her? 20546 Why do you not say something?"
20546Why have you come to me instead of going to the police?
20546Why not leave it until you are stronger? 20546 Why not?"
20546Why not?
20546Why not?
20546Why not?
20546Why not?
20546Why not?
20546Why should he refuse?
20546Why there in particular? 20546 Will you not be seated?"
20546Will you say good- bye to Mrs. Heredith for me?
20546Will you tell me where the revolver practice took place that afternoon?
20546Would a girl go into a room where there was a dead body?
20546Would it not have been possible to give the poor things-- the skeletons, I mean-- Christian burial?
20546Would you know the Heredith necklace if it were offered to you?
20546Yes, sir?
20546Yes?
20546You are quite sure of that?
20546You are quite sure this happened to you? 20546 You are quite sure you locked the door after finding it open?"
20546You are sure it was Hazel Rath?
20546You are surely not suggesting that Nepcote had anything to do with the murder or the robbery of the pearls?
20546You came to surrender yourself?
20546You decline to say how this revolver came into your possession, or make any explanation about the bloodstains on this handkerchief?
20546You did n''t go up stairs at all?
20546You have never revisited the spot?
20546You know him then?
20546You let her go, although I had told you I wanted to question all the servants?
20546You made no effort to detain him?
20546You stayed here last night with your mother, I understand?
20546You still persist in thinking that she obtained the revolver from the gun- room?
20546You think that, do you?
20546You used to come oftener?
20546You will find out everything?
20546You will lose no time?
20546You''re going, are n''t you, Alethea?
20546You''ve had no news of him?
20546You-- you wished to see me?
20546''Your honour and the honour of the Herediths-- Where is it?''
20546Ah, who''s that?"
20546And did you speak to cook about the poultry?
20546And what is your own opinion?"
20546And will you two"--he singled out two of the young men with his eye--"carry Phil downstairs?
20546Any sign of the bullet, Caldew?"
20546Are n''t you frightened of being haunted by the original owner?"
20546Are you feeling any better?"
20546Are you going with Sir Philip?"
20546Are you mad?"
20546As a temporary aberration of memory, or what?"
20546Be you going across to Chidelham?"
20546Borrow from his friends or attempt to cash a cheque?
20546Brimley?"
20546But I should like to know why young Heredith interfered and brought you into the case?"
20546But have you found out anything else besides the loss of the necklace?"
20546But what do you mean by saying that I have more to gain than lose by telling the girl about him?"
20546But what is the use of speculating?
20546But what lay beyond the exposure of the housekeeper''s identity?
20546But what''s the good of telling you this?
20546But who could have foreseen?
20546But why did you leave the room if you expected the owner of the trinket to return in search of it?"
20546CHAPTER IX"Have you formed any theory of the murder yet?"
20546Caldew undertook the conversation:"Did Captain Nepcote sleep here last night?"
20546Can nothing be done to save her?"
20546Can you manage that?"
20546Can you stay till then?"
20546Can you tell me anything about the revolver, Mr. Heredith?
20546Colwyn?"
20546Colwyn?"
20546Colwyn?"
20546Colwyn?"
20546Colwyn?"
20546Come for a bite to eat?
20546Come, Mrs. Rath,"he said gently,"can you not give us some explanation as to why you misled us this morning?"
20546Confound it, where the devil have I seen her?"
20546Could he not have escaped that way?"
20546Could not that be sold by the thief without risk of discovery?"
20546Dear me, what is it?"
20546Did you find it?
20546Did you hear the scream and the shot?"
20546Did you see them?"
20546Did you suspect that it was unlocked?"
20546Do n''t you remember?"
20546Do you admit it?"
20546Do you care to go with me?"
20546Do you know anything about jewels?"
20546Do you know him?
20546Do you know where the Weynes live?"
20546Do you not regard that as suspicious?
20546Do you recognize it?"
20546Do you suppose nobody visited the gun- room for twenty- four hours?"
20546Do you think it is right to leave her?
20546Do you think we might send for him and take him with us?"
20546Do you think you know anything about London?
20546Do you wish to speak to me?"
20546Does he think I''ve turned receiver of stolen property at my time of life?
20546For what purpose?
20546Had he a pleasant journey down?
20546Had the bed been moved to gain access to the fireplace?
20546Had the light from the corridor, streaming through the open door, revealed her approaching figure to him?
20546Had they seen him at the window, and broken off their conference in consequence?
20546Has Merrington told you all about it?"
20546Has anybody been arrested for the murder of my wife?"
20546Has he anything to do with the murder?"
20546Has the murderer been arrested?"
20546Have they also been in your possession since she was killed?"
20546Have you any suspicions that you have not confided to me?"
20546Have you found out anything which leads you to suppose you are on the track of the murdered?"
20546Have you made a list of all the guests who have been stopping in the house?"
20546He called out''Who is there?''
20546He mentioned a name--""Whose name?"
20546He paused for a moment, and then continued abruptly:"Where were you last night at the time of the murder?"
20546Heredith?"
20546Heredith?"
20546His inward perturbation was made manifest in the question:"Do you also share Mr. Heredith''s view that Hazel Rath is innocent?"
20546How can you, who have known her so long, believe she would do a deed like this?
20546How could it, Nepcote asked, fixing his burning glance on his listener, when she had only married him for his coin?
20546How did he know that Mrs. Heredith slept in the left wing?
20546How did he know that he would find her alone in that wing while everybody else was downstairs at the dinner- table?"
20546How did the girl know where the key was kept?"
20546How did you find out?"
20546How did you occupy the time between your arrival at the moat- house and bedtime?"
20546How do you describe that untruth?
20546How had he comported himself under the shock of that cry, which was outside the region of his calculations?
20546How had he known that Mrs. Heredith was there alone, in the darkness?
20546How had it happened, then, that the sound of the report had penetrated so loudly downstairs?
20546How had they repaid my trust and love?
20546How is he?"
20546How long ago?"
20546How long before?
20546How long had he been there in the darkness, waiting for the moment to kill the woman on the bed?
20546How many people have access to this safe, Miss Heredith?
20546How was I to know what was going to happen?"
20546How, then, did the murderer accomplish it?
20546I gave it to Phil, did n''t I?
20546I suppose there is no doubt about that?"
20546I wonder who gave it to her?
20546Is Hazel Rath likely to reveal such a story when she knows it will not save herself?"
20546Is Scotland Yard making any investigations about it?"
20546Is he on the tracks of the murderer yet, Tom?"
20546Is it empty?"
20546Is it still open?"
20546Is she-- dead?"
20546Is that correct?"
20546Is that what you mean?"
20546Is that what you wish me to believe?"
20546Is there any doubt that it belongs to Hazel Rath?"
20546Is there any likelihood that she will be proved innocent?"
20546Is there anything I can do for you in return for your kindness in bringing me this information?"
20546Is there more than one key?"
20546It looked as though it had been dropped accidentally, but how came it to be there at all?
20546It was Phil who finally uttered the thought which was in all their minds:"Are you satisfied that Hazel Rath is innocent?"
20546It was you who found the back door of the left wing unlocked on the night of the murder, was it not?"
20546It''s----""Whatever induced Dolly Weyne to bury herself in the country?"
20546Lumbe?"
20546Merrington asks himself what Nepcote is likely to do in such circumstances?
20546Much is still hidden in this case, and the question is, can Hazel Rath enlighten us?
20546Musard?"
20546My God, what has happened?"
20546Not that it mattered much, as things turned out, but it is a strange thing about this necklace, is n''t it?"
20546Not very fit yet?"
20546Once more, will you answer my questions?"
20546P''r''aps you''d like to see the room where he slep''last night?"
20546Philip?"
20546Quick, what am I to say to her?"
20546Raise funds on the necklace-- if he has it?
20546Rath?"
20546Shall I ever forget my feelings when, unobserved by them, I caught them in the house one day, whispering and kissing?
20546Shall I show you the way up?"
20546Shall I speak freely in Mr. Musard''s presence, or would you rather hear me alone?"
20546Shall we compare notes?"
20546Shall we go upstairs again, Miss Heredith?"
20546She knew my mother was ill, and she said to me after breakfast,''Milly, would you like to go and see your mother this morning?''
20546So he stood still, and in a voice which had something of a quaver in it, called out:"Who is there?"
20546Surely that is consistent?"
20546The question is, what has become of the necklace?
20546The real question was, did Hazel Rath love Philip Heredith?
20546The second door was a former back entrance-- it opens somewhere near the servants''quarters, I think?"
20546The sound of the target practice would not be heard upstairs?"
20546Then he said:"What makes you feel so sure that Nepcote did not leave his revolver in this room after the shooting?"
20546Then what did it matter to Nepcote whether you came here or not?"
20546Then whose hand had clutched Hazel Rath''s throat in the murdered woman''s bedroom upstairs, just before the shot was fired?
20546To let murderers escape?''
20546Violet''s dead.... Have they found him?
20546Was it found in the gun- room?"
20546Was it he who shot Violet?"
20546Was it not he who was in the bedroom when Hazel Rath went there in the dark?"
20546Was that the real reason why you gave Milly leave of absence to visit her mother this morning-- so that she should not tell us what she knew?"
20546Weyne?"
20546What about Mrs. Heredith''s bunch of keys?
20546What are you keeping back?
20546What are you looking at, Weyling?"
20546What can I do for you?"
20546What did he do with it?"
20546What did you imagine it to be?"
20546What do we pay the detective force for?
20546What do you think, Caldew?"
20546What do_ you_ think?
20546What does Mr. Musard mean by sending ye here?
20546What else could I think?"
20546What had startled them?
20546What has been done by the police?
20546What has happened?
20546What have you found out?"
20546What is her name?"
20546What is honour to the lust of the flesh?
20546What is it you wish to ask me?
20546What is it?"
20546What is it?"
20546What is the nature of the injuries it inflicted?"
20546What make is it?"
20546What name, please?"
20546What was the cause of death?"
20546What were you doing in the hall at that time?"
20546What would the girl say?
20546What''s it to do with the object of your visit?
20546When did you get that again?"
20546Where are you?"
20546Where does all this lead to?"
20546Where is he to be found?"
20546Where is he to be found?"
20546Where is he?"
20546Where were they kept?"
20546Where were you last night when the murder was committed?"
20546Where will he hide?
20546Where, then, are we to look for the murderer?
20546Who could have taken it?
20546Who could read the secret of a woman''s heart?
20546Who could say?
20546Who had done this thing?
20546Who had sought, with such patient cunning, to upset those evidential principles by which blind Justice gropes her hesitating way to Truth?
20546Who is he?"
20546Who is this man?
20546Who used such things nowadays?
20546Who will believe me?
20546Who, then, could it have been?"
20546Who?"
20546Why ca n''t Mr. Weyne do the same?"
20546Why did you leave the trinket in the room, Caldew?"
20546Why did you tell me a lie?
20546Why do you ask?"
20546Why had she deceived Merrington about her daughter''s presence in the house?
20546Why have you not been to see us lately?"
20546Why should he run away?
20546Why should they put all us servants through our facings, and leave her alone?"
20546Why was that?"
20546Will anyone have another cup of tea?"
20546Will you be well enough to go to the Weynes''to- night?"
20546Will you come inside?"
20546Will you go up and see, Vincent?"
20546Will you see him and tell him?"
20546You are sure it is not imagination?"
20546You examined the body, I understand?"
20546You had no other thought in your mind?"
20546You know more about these things than me, Musard-- can you tell me of a good man?"
25847''The Moon''s Song?''
25847Ah, you wish to be admired?
25847All right; what?
25847Am I not fit to be looked at, or spoken to?
25847Am I your fairy godmother, or am I not?
25847Am I, really?
25847And did he?
25847And did you never find the money?
25847And did you stop in here, and treat me to this absurd scene, just to inform me concerning my family tree?
25847And do you go into society?
25847And do you mean to say that you people are living here, in your own house, and your own money is hidden here somewhere, and you ca n''t find it?
25847And have you dug under the trees much?
25847And is n''t the rose garden wonderful?
25847And may n''t I ask Lady Kitty to come in? 25847 And so are you?"
25847And so you live here alone at the Savoy?
25847And then, who would take her to London? 25847 And which do you like best, the people or the show- places?"
25847And will you blot out last evening, and pretend it never was, and begin our acquaintance from now?
25847And will you put fresh flowers on it every day?
25847And wo n''t you?
25847And you have n''t set the Thames on fire, or won the Victoria Cross yet? 25847 And, pray, why are n''t you scared when in my august society?"
25847Are you glad?
25847Are you sure of all this, dear? 25847 Are you sure, Parker?"
25847But what about the gold?
25847But what do we do with them?
25847But what does this gay mood betoken? 25847 But what good is it?"
25847But what will take its place?
25847But what''s it all about?
25847But whom did you promise?
25847But why do you want to double yourself up in that way?
25847But why not?
25847But you like this life of ours?
25847But, Patty, wo n''t you sing something alone?
25847Ca n''t we get up a little of the old enthusiasm, and do some searching while I''m here?
25847Ca n''t you omit that part?
25847Can we telephone to the next station and have them sent back?
25847Can you get ready in a week, mother?
25847D y o d t?
25847Did he mean gold money?
25847Did he select sweet peas, himself?
25847Did n''t you feel like smiling just a little bit of a happy smile, when I gave you those flowers the other day? 25847 Did n''t you have a good time this evening?"
25847Did you come all alone?
25847Did you have a good time?
25847Do n''t you ever even feel like smiling?
25847Do you know him?
25847Do you think it will rain?
25847Do you want to be friends again with Kitty?
25847Do you wish to speak to me?
25847Do,said Patty, smiling;"where shall be our classroom?"
25847For mercy''s sake, who is that?
25847Great show, is n''t it?
25847Has Lady Herenden any daughters about my age?
25847Have we really found something? 25847 Have you a heart?"
25847Have you been here long?
25847He did leave messages of some sort, did n''t he? 25847 Here''s one,"said Sinclair:"Where did the Prince of Wales go on his eleventh birthday?"
25847How are you, my dear child?
25847How dare you mention her name to me?
25847How did you ever accomplish this?
25847How do I look?
25847How do you do?
25847How do you know that, Miss Yankee Doodle?
25847How do you know?
25847How do you like London?
25847How do you like it?
25847How long are you staying with the Hartleys?
25847How much do you suppose there is?
25847How old are you?
25847I did n''t offend you, did I?
25847I just love the lights and flowers and music and noise----"Can you distinguish the music from the noise?
25847I mean beneath the rug?
25847I told you she had tact,laughed Nan,"and she grows cleverer every day; do n''t you, Stepdaughter?"
25847I? 25847 Indeed?
25847Is it another mason''s bill?
25847Is it not beautiful,he said,"the rose garden in the moonlight?
25847Is it true that you may have to leave it?
25847Is it very old?
25847Is my nose like St. Paul''s, too?
25847Is n''t he a dear in that Peter Pan suit? 25847 Is n''t it a charming morning?"
25847Is n''t it perfect?
25847Is n''t she exquisite?
25847Is n''t she the dearest thing?
25847Is n''t there any angry griffin? 25847 Is she, indeed?
25847Is that his portrait?
25847Is that so?
25847Is your father in London?
25847It is-- it ca n''t be-- Miss Fairfield?
25847It''s only this,said Patty, still hesitating,"my father has lots of money-- couldn''t you-- couldn''t he lend you some?"
25847Lady Hamilton will miss you a lot,said Nan;"what does she say to your going?"
25847Lend me one of your gowns to wear, Kitty?
25847Lor'', Miss, whatever will you do?
25847Marie, is n''t Miss Fairfield a picture?
25847May I ask why I have this honour?
25847May she see them, Mother?
25847Miss Fairfield,he said,"Patty, I wo n''t keep you now, but to- morrow you''ll give me an opportunity, wo n''t you?
25847Mrs. Cromarty''s husband?
25847Not even from a friend?
25847Not go to dinner, Miss? 25847 Now are n''t you criticising them as unfairly as they describe us?"
25847Now, where is there a rosebush growing, and one of the angry griffins near it?
25847Of course, they tried other''bedheads''?
25847Oh, is it a mystery story? 25847 Oh, out of doors?"
25847Oh, will there be dancing?
25847Oh, you must,--what is your idiotic American phrase? 25847 Ought I, indeed?
25847Patty, what_ are_ you doing?
25847Really?
25847Shall I have to have some new frocks?
25847Shall I ring for a maid? 25847 Shall I write the agreement as I please?"
25847Shall we begin now?
25847Shall we break through?
25847Shall we have a try?
25847Sinclair,called Patty, again;"Mabel, Mrs. Hartley, where are you all?"
25847Sir Otho who?
25847Sir Otho,--won''t you-- please-- send a flower back to my friend, Lady Hamilton?
25847Stop it, do you hear? 25847 That''s American for''ripping,''is n''t it?"
25847That''s her cue,he muttered;"what can be the matter?
25847That''s something,said the Earl, in a tone of satisfaction,"and now will you accept these flowers as a gift from me?
25847Then what?
25847Then you had the fortune, at last?
25847There are no very young ladies in the house, are there, Susan?
25847There, could anything be plainer than that?
25847They did n''t expect to find gold coins in Dickens''books?
25847This is an extra, Miss Fairfield,he said;"will you give it to me?"
25847Want to go out on the lake and fish for pond- lilies?
25847Was he always cross?
25847Was he an old man, Grandy?
25847Well, are you going to detail to me the plan of this rather difficult campaign?
25847Well, ma''am, what is it?
25847Well, then, let me manage it; and do it the way I want you to, will you?
25847Well, what about her?
25847What are you going to be, Bob?
25847What are you going to do with them?
25847What can I do?
25847What did you tell him?
25847What does the poke mean?
25847What ever made Uncle Marmaduke choose this way of concealing his fortune?
25847What is it, little one?
25847What is it, my son? 25847 What is this on which I stand?"
25847What is to become of poor little me?
25847What made you cry?
25847What shall we do with it?
25847What sort of a game?
25847What would you wear?
25847What''s pastoral about the Terrace, pray?
25847What''s the joke?
25847What''s the matter, Patty?
25847What?
25847Where did this occur?
25847Where is the rose orchard, Parker?
25847Where will you set it? 25847 Which two do you want?"
25847Who is Lady Hamilton?
25847Who is it?
25847Who is she?
25847Who''s been talking to you?
25847Who''s your friend, Patty?
25847Who, indeed? 25847 Whom did you promise?"
25847Why are you so changed from last evening?
25847Why are you so sure she''ll come back here to live?
25847Why ca n''t I say it twice?
25847Why ca n''t you? 25847 Why did you want to kick up a bobbery, when everything was so nice and peaceful?"
25847Why should n''t I?
25847Why, Mrs. Leigh,exclaimed Nan,"how do you do?
25847Why, what do you mean?
25847Why?
25847Will it never be solved?
25847Will you get them out for us?
25847Will you?
25847Would you prefer an excavating party, with picks and spades, or an indoor performance in the old bedrooms?
25847Yes, I think so,said Patty, demurely;"are they all like you in England?"
25847Yes, Stepmother,replied Patty, gazing at Nan in mock adoration;"since I have you for a model, how could I do otherwise?"
25847Yes, a step; but could n''t it be called a stair?
25847Yes, but why should he want to hide it? 25847 Yes, he did,"went on Patty, placidly;"shall I accept him?"
25847Yes, is n''t it? 25847 Yes, is n''t it?"
25847You are what you are, and if the different countries choose to treat you differently, it does n''t matter, does it?
25847You feel the charm of it, do n''t you?
25847You live with them, then, in the country?
25847You''re a good loser, are n''t you?
25847You''re going to stay here all summer, are n''t you?
25847You''ve not been here long, then?
25847Your White Lady?
25847Your mother?
25847Yours?
25847(_ Why_ does she think I''d do that?)
25847A charity affair?"
25847An ice?"
25847And I''ll say''Really?''
25847And do you know what I think, Grandy?
25847And how_ shall_ we get this mess cleared away?
25847And so Lady Hamilton is your chaperon?
25847And what do you think they found?"
25847And you''re going to have a lovely time, too, are n''t you?
25847Are all Americans so puzzling?"
25847Are n''t there witches in that New England of yours?"
25847Are they a large family?"
25847Are they all like you in America?"
25847Are you afraid of me?"
25847Are you going alone?"
25847Are you staying near here?"
25847Are you warm enough, Miss?"
25847Between the fir trees and the oak?"
25847But I''m going to try-- and-- who can tell what might happen?"
25847But ca n''t I do something more definite, more voluntary?"
25847But for that classic- browed genius, with his chrysanthemum of tawny- colored hair, is n''t this a pleasant token of regard and esteem?
25847But have you never heard the story of the Cromarty Fortune?"
25847But how could he do all this hiding and rehiding without being seen?"
25847But what else can we do?
25847But what else could it be called?
25847But what sort of things do you want to learn?"
25847But where are the people going now?"
25847But why are you such an enigma?
25847But why do you say you are lonely?
25847But why?"
25847CHAPTER XII SUMMER PLANS"As usual,"said Mr. Fairfield, smiling,"the question is, what is to be done with Patty?"
25847Ca n''t I go?"
25847Ca n''t we go at once?"
25847Ca n''t you manage to go to both?"
25847Can we have it soon?"
25847Can you do it for me, Sarah?"
25847Clair, what shall we ruthlessly tear it away with?
25847Could it be that Mr. Marmaduke had meant above this platform, calling it a stair, which ran across the great hall?
25847Could it be that was Lady Hamilton''s severe father?
25847Did n''t you ever hear its history, Grandy?"
25847Did you come into my house for the purpose of having a fit of hysterics?"
25847Do I wear my heart on my sleeve to that extent?"
25847Do n''t you think we can all go?
25847Do you know this Martin Campbell, Grandy?"
25847Do you mind coming to see me once in a while, my dear?
25847Do you suppose they use skirt braid?"
25847Do you understand?"
25847Does Mrs. Cromarty expect to go away?"
25847Have you breakfasted, dearie?"
25847Have you promised not to?"
25847Honestly, Lady Kitty, do you think it''s right for me to lead such a butterfly life?
25847How are we going over?"
25847How can I_ make_ you go?"
25847How dare you speak to me like that?
25847How shall it be done?
25847How would you like that?"
25847I hope the longer you know me, the more awed you''ll be of my,--of my----""Of your what?"
25847I just want to learn to say''only fancy''occasionally, and''d''y''see?''
25847I never saw such a stubborn, self- willed, determined----""Pigheaded?"
25847I often save a patient, Though a doctor I am not; My name is very easy, Can you tell me, children?
25847I suppose you would n''t like to live in a brown- stone front on Fifth Avenue?"
25847I''m not quite eighteen yet, and I wish you''d call me Patty, wo n''t you?"
25847I_ am_ a stubborn old Pighead, but how did you know it?
25847If I should meet you unexpectedly, and say H d y d?
25847Is it a Baroness Rothschild?"
25847Is it a sad story?
25847Is it over a rosebush?
25847Is that the real reason?
25847Is there any legend or tradition connected with the place?"
25847Is this the celebrated apartment where the fortune was hidden?"
25847May I try to get it out, Grandy?"
25847May I?"
25847May I?"
25847May n''t I?"
25847Mrs. Hartley asked me for the whole summer, you know, but you wo n''t be gone more than a month or six weeks, will you?"
25847Now, what can I get for you?
25847Now, what shall we wear?"
25847Oh, what shall I say to your father and mother?"
25847Oh, where is the angry griffin?
25847Oh, why had she been so foolish?
25847Patty agreed, but as they walked away, his Lordship said:"You look really tired; would you not rather sit on the terrace than dance?"
25847Patty took the flowers in both hands, but Lord Ruthven still held them, too, saying:"And will you let them mean----?"
25847Patty,"said Mabel,"what is the matter?"
25847Paul''s?"
25847Shall I teach it to you?"
25847She looked at the ground under some of them, but who could expect a mark of any kind on the ground after nearly forty years?
25847Sinclair, look after the little ones, wo n''t you?"
25847So I''m not wholly bad?
25847That is, if you''re interested, Patty?"
25847The Hartleys will bring me home, so sha''n''t I send the carriage back for you?"
25847The Merediths live near them, do n''t they?"
25847The top of it was well above her head, but might it not be that the old rhyme meant between_ this_ bedhead and the wall?
25847The two men quarrelled, and now that Cecil is gone, why should my father hold the feud against me?
25847They both laughed, and then Lady Hamilton said more seriously,"Shall I tell you why I wo n''t go?"
25847They do n''t know me, so how can they be glad to see me?"
25847They''re old friends of mine, do you see?
25847We''ll have to take hammer and chisel; shall we, Grandy?"
25847Well, then, if they''re sending you home, Louise need n''t go after you?"
25847What availed it to scan a wall or a bedstead that had been scrutinised for years by eager, anxious eyes?
25847What did I do?"
25847What do you think I am?"
25847What do you think I am?"
25847What does this mean?
25847What happened to you as a grown- up?"
25847What is this-- this construction across the room?"
25847What name do you think suits me?"
25847What time was it?"
25847What?"
25847When shall we begin the course?"
25847When shall we count it?
25847Where did you come from?
25847Where do you get those graceful conceits?"
25847Where shall I send the box?"
25847Who cares?"
25847Who made you promise not to speak to me, or look at me?"
25847Who''s taking you to the tea?"
25847Why did n''t you tell me you were coming?
25847Why had that stair or platform been built across the hall?
25847Why not bank it decently, like other people?"
25847Why should they?
25847Will Kitty meet me halfway?"
25847Will it be three days, Kitty?"
25847Will you give me all the waltzes?"
25847Will you go with us, Grandy?"
25847Will you have some sal volatile?"
25847Will you have time to drink a cup of tea with me?
25847Will you save a lot of dances for me to- night?"
25847Will you?"
25847Will you?"
25847Wo n''t Nan howl?"
25847Wo n''t you and Mr. Leigh sit down and have coffee with us?
25847Would n''t it?")
25847Would n''t you understand me if I said:''D y w t g t t g p?''"
25847Would you rather not tell me?"
25847You do n''t often see that in New York, do you, Nan?"
25847You know the Hartleys, do n''t you?"
25847You mean''Do you want to go to the garden party?''
25847You must come to see us down in the country, must n''t she, mother?"
25847You''d have to come to that, would n''t you?"
25847You''re to dine with the Hartleys, are n''t you?"
25847[ Illustration:"''How_ much_ pleasanter this is than squabbling''"]"One lump?"
25847and what''s worse, how_ could_ we have any one else living here?"
25847exclaimed Mabel, aghast;"for how long?"
25847he cried;"all like me in England?
25847he cried;"what are you, anyway?
25847he exclaimed;"what is the matter?
25847is the radiant Emmeline within?''
25847said Nan;"do you see any one you know?"
25847said Patty;"how can you all be so calm about it?
25847she said,"or will you dictate it?"
25847you''d know I meant How do you do?
21892After what I have just told you, Mr. Walcott, do you still ask me to be your wife?
21892Ah, something of a cynic, is he?
21892An illegal marriage? 21892 And I suppose if I were not here you would now be burrowing into that pile over there?"
21892And do you forgive me?
21892And he is sick, you say? 21892 And he went away with you?"
21892And live a hermit''s life?
21892And when it does, what revelations will it bring?
21892And why not?
21892And you came to me to be righted,Darrell said, musingly;"''Can the blind lead the blind?''"
21892And you gave your permission?
21892And you have Trix, have n''t you?
21892Any letter from Kate?
21892Are n''t you going to wait and ride down?
21892Are you joking?
21892Are you just from the East, or have you been out here any time?
21892As who said?
21892As you please,he replied, stooping to pick up the programme she had dropped;"are the guests arriving yet?"
21892Aunt Marcia?
21892Been pretty busy to- day, have n''t you?
21892Bennett, what does this mean?
21892But I came to see if you were ready to go downstairs; ought we not to join the others?
21892But do you intend to allow her to play fast and loose with me in this way? 21892 But how can you or any one else hope to run down a man with such powerful followers and with a hiding- place so inaccessible?"
21892But how did you ever gain so much knowledge of him? 21892 But how did you find me?"
21892But is he not a half- breed? 21892 But is n''t the place constantly guarded?"
21892But is not that the only view?
21892But you do not think now that you love her or loved her then?
21892But you will, of course, allow your daughter to act according to her own judgment? 21892 But, Bennett, what brings you here at this time of night?"
21892But, Kathie, dear child,Darrell interposed,"have you considered what such a life means to you-- what is involved in such a sacrifice?"
21892But,interposed Kate,"I do n''t understand; what wrong have you done?"
21892Can I help you?
21892Come, Marcia,said her brother, good- humoredly,"come to the point; are you, woman- like, scenting a love- affair in that direction?"
21892David, you will let us have the use of your private room for a while?
21892David,said Mrs. Dean, presently,"have you shown Mr. Darrell that picture of Katherine that came yesterday?"
21892Did he tell you that?
21892Did it never occur to you,said Mr. Britton, slowly,"that for the safety of others your secret should be made known now?"
21892Did the violin tell you that?
21892Did you see him killed?
21892Did you see that scar?
21892Did you think I was blind? 21892 Do I understand you that Walcott is not this man''s real name?"
21892Do n''t you want to see Katherine''s new picture?
21892Do you admit it?
21892Do you court Dame Nature so assiduously every day, subsisting on cold lunches and tramping the mountains till nightfall?
21892Do you know where he is?
21892Do you know why I have sent for you?
21892Do you mean that you have adopted him?
21892Do you really wish it?
21892Do you regard a shut- down as imminent?
21892Do you think I ever could forget?
21892Do you think there is any likelihood of an attempt to rescue him, as stated by the paper?
21892Do you wish to know,she asked, with sudden seriousness,"what will always remain to me the noblest, most heroic act of your life?"
21892Does he know all?
21892Does that mean that you care less for Marion than before you went away?
21892Excited? 21892 Has Mr. Walcott ever conducted himself other than as a gentleman?"
21892Has he recognized any one since I was here?
21892Have I ever gone contrary to your wishes, papa, or disobeyed you?
21892Have I not always chosen what was for your good and for your happiness?
21892Have any of the leaders tried to make terms?
21892Have there been shadows in your life, then, too? 21892 Have you been to the stables?"
21892Have you considered this?
21892Have you gone to bed, Katherine, or are you up?
21892He fears me, Señor; why should I fear him?
21892He is a dangerous man,he said;"how is it that you do not fear him?"
21892He is in the Pocket, is he not?
21892His father was an Englishman, but no one ever knew who he was, you understand, Señor? 21892 How about the past year?
21892How could you know?
21892How could you know?
21892How did it happen?
21892How do the men feel about it? 21892 How does the night- bird find its mate?"
21892How is that?
21892How is that?
21892How is this to be taken,--before eating, or after?
21892How is this, Kate?
21892How long have you been in town?
21892How so? 21892 How''s that?"
21892How''s the new hotel? 21892 How''s the west- bound-- on time?"
21892I do n''t understand you, papa; to what do you refer?
21892I understand,said Mr. Britton;"but he claims heavy cattle interests in the South; how did he come by them?"
21892I will go to him at once; but,she added, looking keenly into the woman''s face,"how do you know of this?
21892I wonder whether we could ascertain from the owners of the Ajax what experts were out here or expected out here at that time?
21892I''m up; why, auntie?
21892In a very few hours, father; when do you wish to start?
21892In hypnotism? 21892 In the mountain country?"
21892Is he conscious?
21892Is that necessary?
21892Is that so?
21892Is the man a stranger or an acquaintance?
21892Is there no way of warning your father, Katherine?
21892Is there? 21892 Is this Hunter an expert also?"
21892It''s to be a strike then, sure thing, is it?
21892John, do you remember me?
21892Kate, are you never coming?
21892Kathie, must it be?
21892Kathie,said Darrell, earnestly, drawing nearer to her,"have you such a hope as that?"
21892Love him?
21892Mr. Darrell, do you believe in hypnotism?
21892Mr. Darrell? 21892 Mr. Underwood,"he said,"will you come out and speak to the men?
21892Mr. Underwood,said Darrell, who had been smilingly listening to the other''s tirade,"what will you do if this comes to a strike?"
21892My friend,said Mr. Britton, laying his hand gently on her shoulder,"are you hungry?"
21892Now, was that due to my own imagination or to some uncanny spell of his?
21892Oh, Mrs. Dean, why did n''t you warn me in time?
21892Oh, do you? 21892 Out of town?
21892Parkinson?
21892Señor,she protested, as the waiter left the box,"I have no money, no way to repay you for this, you understand?"
21892Señora,she said,"you say you are my friend; were you my friend the first time you came to the house?
21892Señorita, I come as your friend; do you believe me?
21892Señorita, may I see you in private?
21892Señorita, you do not know me?
21892Strike? 21892 Swear to it?
21892Sweetheart,he said, in low tones, scarcely above a whisper,"I follow; if I overtake her, what then?
21892Tell me, Kathie dear, has she drifted away from me?
21892That is just what I have wanted,said Darrell, eagerly;"to go to work as soon as possible; but what can I do?
21892That woman in black whom I just met?
21892The clouds will lift one day; what then?
21892The east- bound express leaves at ten- thirty to- night; can we make that?
21892The scale of wages to remain the same, I suppose,said Darrell;"so that means a gain to each man of twenty- five cents a day?"
21892Then, Darrell, my boy, some one else has taught you what love really is?
21892There never was any mention of love between you two, was there, or any engagement?
21892To me?
21892Was this what was in your mind this morning, Marcia?
21892We must go to her at once, my boy,said Mr. Britton;"how soon can you leave?"
21892Well, boys,said Mr. Underwood, as he appeared in the doorway,"what do you want of me?"
21892Well, my boy, what are you mooning over?
21892Well, that''s about the''gist''of the whole business,said Parkinson; he added:"You say he can give me some''tips''on the Ajax?"
21892Well,said Mr. Underwood, with an air of comic perplexity,"do you want me to send Darrell adrift, or shall I pack Puss off to a convent?"
21892Well?
21892Were we not something more than merely good comrades, Marion?
21892What are you driving at?
21892What are you sending the dog after him for, anyway?
21892What awakened you?
21892What did he think of it?
21892What do they want-- higher wages or shorter hours?
21892What do you mean by such language?
21892What do you propose doing now?
21892What do you think of it?
21892What has been his business in Ophir all these years?
21892What has come back to you?
21892What has come over the child?
21892What have I said that you should so misunderstand me?
21892What have I said?
21892What have you got against that fellow?
21892What is the meaning of this?
21892What is this hermitage, as you call it, and where is it?
21892What is your opinion of this man?
21892What is your proposition?
21892What of your mother, my son,--was she living when you came west?
21892What place in the mill do you refer to?
21892What reason could I have for any such masquerading?
21892What sort of a reputation has he?
21892What was your mother''s name?
21892What would you wish to do, were you given your choice?
21892When do you expect this trouble to come to a head?
21892When is Miss Underwood expected home?
21892When?
21892Where are these goods going?
21892Where does he live?
21892Where is this John Britton?
21892Where? 21892 Who is Tony?"
21892Who is he?
21892Who is speaking, then, when you play as you did just now-- the soul of the musician or your own?
21892Who was she, Aunt Marcia? 21892 Why do you persist in annoying me in this manner?"
21892Why do you say that?
21892Why do you think so?
21892Why does he leave me when he knows I ca n''t endure the sight of that man?
21892Why impossible?
21892Why were you not at dinner yesterday?
21892Why, Darrell, my boy, how do you do?
21892Why, do you know anything regarding this man?
21892Why, has the Ajax really changed owners? 21892 Why, my dear child, what is the matter?"
21892Why, what''s the matter with the Ajax?
21892Will it be as serious as that, do you think?
21892Will that make it seem more real, sweetheart?
21892Will you close down?
21892Will you give her a message from me, just as I give it to you? 21892 Without arriving at any satisfactory conclusion?"
21892Would you have selected him as the murderer, from your study of him?
21892Yes, why not?
21892Yes; what has that to do with your engagement?
21892Yes; why not?
21892Yes?
21892You are sure? 21892 You did not expect to find such a souvenir of old Rome in a mountain cabin, did you?"
21892You did not hurt her feelings-- she was pleased,Kate hastened to reassure him;"but did she never speak to you about it?"
21892You have told her nothing, then?
21892You knew of the money, then? 21892 You know she has taken up the study of medicine?"
21892You look warm and the air here is oppressive,he said, observing her flushed face and fanning her gently;"shall we go outside for a few moments?"
21892You say this Parkinson was a mine expert; what was he doing out here?
21892You say, Darrell, that your regard for her is unchanged?
21892You seem to understand the situation, Mrs. Dean; how did you learn the circumstances?
21892You will be back for lunch, David?
21892You will not shoot? 21892 You will remain at The Pines when the mines are sold, will you not?"
21892Your home was in Mexico?
21892A moment later, having divested himself of his great coat, he drew a second seat before the fire, saying,--"You evidently knew where to look for me?"
21892After a few inquiries regarding her visit, he said,--"May I be allowed to inquire who is responsible for your sudden decision against me?"
21892After a pause, Mr. Britton inquired,--"You have no clue whatever as to Darrell''s identity, have you?"
21892After a time Mr. Britton paused beside him, and, throwing his arm about his shoulders, asked,--"What are your thoughts, my son?"
21892After what we''ve seen to- day, ca n''t you make a place over there at the mill for the boy?"
21892An hour or more passed pleasantly, and Walcott inquired, casually,--"By the way, Miss Underwood, what has become of my four- footed friend?
21892And if not, did she now regret it?
21892Are you alone?"
21892Are you prepared to identify that face?
21892Are you willing to take the responsibility of the results which may follow your withholding that secret, keeping it locked within your own breast?"
21892As Kate and her strange companion parted, the former inquired,"Why did you ask me not to shoot him?
21892As Kate caressed the noble head she turned suddenly to Darrell:"John, would you like to have Duke with you?
21892As they faced one another Darrell took both her hands in his, saying,--"What is it to be, Kathie?
21892At last he inquired,--"Did he leave no message for me?"
21892Before Darrell could reply, Mr. Underwood, who had started from his revery, demanded,--"What engagement are you talking about, you chatterbox?"
21892Bending still lower, she said, in low, distinct tones:"Can you tell me the name of your people, and where they live?"
21892But even while he listened he gazed in astonishment at the singer; could that magnificent woman be his girl- love?
21892But what do you think of my partner?"
21892But why do you ask?"
21892But, Mr. Darrell, where is papa?"
21892By the way, how far west are you travelling?"
21892By the way, this is our waltz, is it not?"
21892Ca n''t you let me be a friend to you?
21892Can we return to the old friendship?"
21892Can you forget?
21892Can you forgive me?
21892Could you not occasionally bestow the pleasure of his society upon some one else-- Mr. Darrell, for instance?
21892Darrell exclaimed, each word vibrating with anguish;"is there no hope-- no chance of escape for you from such a fate?"
21892Darrell exclaimed;"and you have formed a mental portrait of this man by which you expect to recognize and identify him?"
21892Darrell, what does this mean?"
21892Darrell?"
21892Darrell?"
21892Darrell?"
21892Darrell?"
21892Did he tell you?"
21892Did they find any one to buy it?"
21892Did we stop to think of the bruises and scratches of the ascent, of how many times we had stumbled, or of the weariness of the way?
21892Did you weave a spell about me, you sweet sorceress?"
21892Do I not consider your home mine?
21892Do you accept?"
21892Do you expect to be married in that dress?"
21892Do you suppose for a moment I''ll have my daughter''s name dragged through such mire?
21892Do you think I need any suggestion from you in the way of befriending him or standing by him?"
21892Do you think my love for you could ever grow less?"
21892Do you think there can be any happiness or good in a marriage without love?
21892Do you think you could''rough it''with us old fellows for a couple of days?"
21892Do you understand me now, Kathie?"
21892Do you understand me?"
21892Do you understand my love for you in bringing you here?"
21892Do you wonder, my son, that the place is sacred to me?
21892Does Aunt Marcia know?
21892Does it meet with your approval?"
21892Drawing her closer, he whispered,--"Kathie, do you remember our parting on the''Divide''?"
21892For a moment the silence was unbroken; then,--"How do you like my gown?"
21892Glancing at the large journal lying open on her desk, Darrell asked, with a quizzical smile,--"Could n''t that have been postponed for a few hours?"
21892Going into any particular line of business?"
21892Had it changed, he wondered, or had he?
21892Had she, or had she not, he wondered, learned to reciprocate his love before the tragic ending came?
21892Have I ever offered you compensation for anything that you or your sister have done for me?
21892Have you any clew to his identity?"
21892Have you talked with them?"
21892He continued, in impassioned tones:"Are not the conditions fulfilled, sweetheart?
21892He dipped his pen, then hesitated; how should this strange volume be inscribed?
21892How are you, my son?"
21892How dare you come here?"
21892How did you learn it?
21892How far is it from here?"
21892How is it that in your short life, surrounded by all that love can provide, you have come to know such heart hunger as that?"
21892How is it?"
21892How long have I kept you waiting?"
21892How soon can we get away from here?"
21892How would that suit you for three or four months?"
21892How would you like to go out to the mines to- morrow with Mr. Underwood and myself?
21892How?"
21892I am sure his wishes in the matter will remain unchanged, as will also your love for him; why then should our marriage be further delayed?"
21892I asked you when that day would be; do you remember your answer?"
21892I have been faithful to that trust through all these years; do you give it me now for my very own?"
21892I hope you will overlook it and allow me to see you at The Pines, will you not, Miss Underwood?"
21892I may have misjudged her, but even were that so and she did care for you still, you would not marry her now, loving another as you do, would you?"
21892I never heard it before; where did you get it?"
21892I suppose,"he added, addressing Kate, at the same time producing a superb diamond ring,"you will not object to wearing this?"
21892I will ask you a question, mother: Do you think she still cares for me as before I left home?"
21892If not then, why are you now?"
21892Is it possible that you have no recollection of that affair?"
21892Is she not to fulfil her engagement?"
21892Is that a compact?"
21892Is there any reason why we should not be at least good comrades now?"
21892Is your recollection of it as distinct as ever?"
21892Kathie, is not this''the time appointed''?"
21892Later, as Kate found Darrell at a window, looking thoughtfully out into the moonlit night, she asked,--"Of what are you thinking, John?"
21892Listen to me, Kate: have I not always planned and worked for your best interests?"
21892Look at the good you have done, the many you have helped; what have I done, what have I to show for all these years?"
21892May I inquire on what terms you propose to settle?"
21892May I tell her?"
21892Might it not have come about in the ordinary sequence of events?"
21892Mr. Britton inquired, after a brief silence;"how do you propose to do this?"
21892Mr. Underwood ejaculated, now thoroughly angry;"what do I want of rent from you?
21892My boy, how will you be able to stand it?"
21892Now do you wonder,"she added, archly,"that I seized hold of the first object that came in my way and started out for a waltz?"
21892Now, how is that?"
21892OR DEATH?
21892Or are you afraid of him-- afraid to have him know you warned me?"
21892Overrun with boarders?"
21892Peter repeated;"where?"
21892Pettigrew?"
21892Seating himself beside the young man and again looking into his face, he said,--"I see that the day has dawned; when did the light come, and how?"
21892She paused a moment, then, looking him full in the eyes, she asked, earnestly,--"John Darrell, do you still love me?"
21892Since when, may I inquire?"
21892Startled out of his customary self- control, Darrell suddenly clasped her in his arms, exclaiming,--"Kathie darling, how can you ask such a question?
21892Taking her hand in his, he asked, brokenly,"Sweetheart, will that day ever come, and when?"
21892The latter looked up with a grim smile:"Been down to the mill?"
21892The young man continued:"I understand Mr. Britton is stopping with you; is he still here, or has he left?"
21892Then turning to the young man, he said,"I am John Britton; do you wish to see me?"
21892Then, looking her straight in the eyes, she added:"Really, auntie, deep down in your heart, are n''t you glad of it?"
21892Then, turning on a sudden impulse to the stranger, she said,--"Will you come with me?
21892There must be plenty of assaying to be done in Ophir; why could n''t I temporarily open an office there?"
21892Underwood?"
21892Underwood?"
21892Underwood?"
21892Underwood?"
21892Underwood?"
21892Was her soul, its purity and beauty symbolized by her very dress, to be united to that other soul in its grossness and deformity?
21892We will have to give it up, wo n''t we, Duke, old boy?"
21892What am I fitted for?
21892What brings you here to- night?"
21892What brings you here?
21892What did you think of Katherine last night, David?"
21892What do you mean?
21892What do you mean?"
21892What do you say, do you take me up?"
21892What do you think of the''strike''now?"
21892What do you think?
21892What do you want to make it, a hundred yards?"
21892What else could I understand?"
21892What had happened?"
21892What is it, anyway?"
21892What is the matter-- are you cold?"
21892What is to hinder his taking a life so inimical to his own?"
21892What was the use of dallying where I was?
21892What would it be for her when she came to know the truth, as she must know it; and how was he to tell her?
21892When and where did you marry that man?"
21892Where is that man now?"
21892Whitcomb?"
21892Whitcomb?"
21892Who is this''Walcott,''and what is this important decision about?"
21892Why are you not in danger on that account?
21892Will I find her the same as in the past?"
21892Will we stop to recount the sorrows through which we climbed to the shining heights?
21892Will you come at once?
21892Will you go into the house, Mr. Darrell, or do you prefer a seat on the veranda?"
21892Will you take him as a parting gift from me?"
21892Would you and mamma have been happy together if you had not loved each other?"
21892You and he correspond, do you not?"
21892You are not in a hurry to be rid of your little girl?"
21892You could swear to it?"
21892You say you met her; what do you think of her?"
21892You surely would not force her into any marriage distasteful to her?"
21892You will go home with me, unless,"he added, inquiringly,"you are expecting to meet friends or acquaintances?"
21892You will not kill him?"
21892_ Chapter IV_ LIFE?
21892am I to be honored with an invitation?"
21892and fire Benson, who''s been there for five years?"
21892and what did she want with me?"
21892do you mean to say that you built it?"
21892ejaculated Mr. Underwood;"what is Chapman doing?
21892had two years dropped out of his life?
21892he asked, eagerly,"or did Mr. Underwood come with you?"
21892he continued, drawing her head down upon his shoulder and looking playfully into her eyes;"are you trying to hypnotize me?"
21892he exclaimed, shaking hands heartily;"thought you''d take us by surprise, eh?
21892he hissed;"this is your doing, is it?"
21892he questioned;"how did I wound her feelings?"
21892her father demanded, angrily;"do you doubt his word to me?"
21892interposed Mr. Underwood, fiercely;"do you think I''d take a case of this kind into the courts?
21892is this you?"
21892or Death?
21892said her father, pinching her cheek;"do n''t you have love enough, I''d like to know?"
21892she asked archly;"have you an engagement, really, or did n''t you care for my society?"
21892she ejaculated;"why do n''t you put it on as Mr. Darrell has his?
21892she exclaimed, in bewildered tones;"a mistake?"
21892she laughed, mockingly;"would your law avenge my father''s death, or the wrongs I have suffered?
21892they heard her exclaim to the merry group below;"would you believe it?
21892what are you saying?"
21892what have you been doing to yourself these two years?"
21892where?
26925A poor one?
26925Ah-- it''s a coffin, ai n''t it?
26925Ai n''t you the man who built a bonfire on the railroad track some time ago, to stop a train from running into an obstruction?
26925All this was prearranged between you and Mason, was n''t it?
26925Am I? 26925 Am dat yo'', Massa Ronald?"
26925An''he gwine ter do it, hey?
26925An''take me?
26925And does the broker know his nephew drinks?
26925And if it is?
26925And rented out your wagon to him?
26925And she''s so near me now?
26925And that''s where Mason is keeping his prisoner, eh?
26925And what is the result?
26925And you believe my cousin Ronald and this negro were at the bottom of the whole thing?
26925And you did it to stop the train?
26925And you got Dalton''s body out of the box and carried it into the swamp?
26925Anything new going on?
26925Are you able to pursue it, Harry?
26925Are you going back to Dalton''s to see him?
26925Are you going to abandon us to our fate?
26925Are you going to submit?
26925Are you in the habit of going on sprees with that colored man?
26925Are you ready to search for him?
26925Are you sure?
26925Bandits trying to rob this train? 26925 Been away several days with Mason, has n''t he?"
26925But how about the body we traced to the swamp in Georgia? 26925 But how about the gory dagger you said you found in the empty house?"
26925But you are not positive of it?
26925By whom?
26925Ca n''t a man walk along here without bein''held up like a burglar by you chaps? 26925 Can you describe the party who sent it?"
26925Can you see how they got out?
26925Can you tell me what this all means?
26925Can you tell me where we can get our breakfast?
26925Dalton refuses?
26925Dat hut? 26925 Did he have any domestic or business trouble?"
26925Did he live here?
26925Did n''t his daughter know anything about it?
26925Did n''t they ever quarrel?
26925Did they explain why they came back so unexpectedly?
26925Did you hear it, Harry?
26925Did you hear that cry?
26925Did you notice anything peculiar about Mason?
26925Did you send that message?
26925Did you tell him so?
26925Do you hear me, sir?
26925Do you know Sim Johnson, your uncle''s valet?
26925Do you know anything about the passage by means of which the villains escaped from here?
26925Do you think he''s the same man?
26925Do you think so? 26925 Does Mr. Dalton live here all the year round?"
26925Does he intend to remain here long?
26925Ever speak of suicide?
26925First, then, were your father and Mason on friendly terms?
26925Fo''de Lawd sakes, what yo''doin''?
26925Going to the broker''s house now?
26925Got a big political pull?
26925Got him, Harry?
26925Gwine ter sign dat check?
26925Hab we got ter stay heah much longer?
26925Have n''t been out of town at all, eh?
26925Have n''t we met him before?
26925Have you no pity left in you?
26925Have you seen his will?
26925Have you thoroughly examined this place?
26925How about the permit from the Health Department?
26925How are you going to avoid it?
26925How are you?
26925How can I?
26925How could he gain money by killing my father?
26925How did he seem to take it?
26925How do you account for those yells for help?
26925How do you feel?
26925How do you know I did?
26925How do you know?
26925How do you mean?
26925How do you reach it?
26925How long do you intend to remain here?
26925How much does it amount to?
26925How much was taken?
26925How so?
26925How soon does that train leave?
26925I suppose we could find board there?
26925In the hut?
26925In which direction did it go?
26925Into the hut?
26925Is Mason forcing Dalton?
26925Is Mr. Mason in?
26925Is Ronald Mason in the habit of going on sprees with his uncle''s negro valet?
26925Is that the money you stole from Mr. Dalton''s office?
26925Is that where you carried Dalton on the night you took him from the cars?
26925Is the broker''s nephew in?
26925It made him despondent?
26925Let''s go and hab a look at de ole fellow now?
26925Look like a coffin?
26925Looking for any one, sir?
26925Mason, what''s in that package?
26925May I inquire what it was?
26925No sign of them, eh?
26925No?
26925On account of the girl''s positive identification of that body?
26925Presuming he killed himself, who would benefit by his death?
26925Queer? 26925 Robbed him?"
26925Say, yer ai n''t a- goin''ter do nuthin''to me, are yer?
26925See any one?
26925See here, my friend,said Old King Brady to the darky,"do you know anything about that little hut standing out there in the swamp?"
26925See them?
26925Shall we go over and investigate those cries?
26925Sim Johnson,she cried,"what does this mean?"
26925Sim,the white man was saying,"are you quite sure the detectives have got Nick locked up in jail?"
26925Since he vanished, have you been conducting his business?
26925Since he vanished, have you been here every day?
26925So you could steal a box containing Mr. Dalton''s body from the baggage car during the confusion?
26925So you found Ronald Mason prowling around the swamp, after you traced Sim Johnson down here from New York?
26925Suppose we secrete ourselves there to- night, then?
26925That''s a polite hint for us to go, I presume?
26925That''s your answer, is it?
26925Then he was uninjured?
26925Then it is n''t in use any more?
26925Then what do you mean by asking such an impertinent question, sir?
26925Then where did they disappear to so mysteriously?
26925Then you know what you said to be true?
26925Then you think we had better drop the case?
26925Then you will be my guests?
26925Then you will sign the check?
26925They had the box and wagon ready ahead, eh?
26925They were, hey? 26925 To what do you allude?"
26925To whom?
26925Wanted you to marry him, did n''t he?
26925Was n''t Mason in love with you?
26925Was the other masked man a negro?
26925Well, what do you want?
26925Well,said the boy,"are you ready to go through the cars on a hunt for Solomon Gloom?
26925Were we seen?
26925Were you alone?
26925Wha''fo''?
26925Whar yo''go den?
26925What can be the matter?
26925What fer?
26925What for?
26925What has become of the man it contained?
26925What have you got in that box?
26925What is the meaning of this trickery?
26925What lawyer drew up the will?
26925What on airth dew yer mean by holdin''up a feller citizen this way?
26925What sort of a paper?
26925What the deuce can that mean?
26925What the deuce does this mean?
26925What the deuce were they doing?
26925What yo''tell de ole fool?
26925What yo''want me ter do, boss?
26925What''s that? 26925 When you carried him into the hut, he fought with you?"
26925When you got the body in the hut, what did you do with it?
26925Where are they?
26925Where are we?
26925Where do you live?
26925Where does it lead to?
26925Where in thunder could they have gone?
26925Where to?
26925Where to?
26925Where was the will kept?
26925Where?
26925Who fired that shot?
26925Who is Sim Johnson?
26925Who was the other masked man, I wonder?
26925Who''s in the house with him?
26925Why do n''t you give us a fair show to fight for our lives?
26925Why do you think so?
26925Why does he live there?
26925Why is Mason holding him a prisoner?
26925Why not? 26925 Why, what has Sim done?
26925Why, who gave you the news?
26925Why-- Harry-- how are you? 26925 Will you kindly tell me what made you believe he was dead?"
26925Without a fight?
26925Wo n''t I? 26925 Yo''gwine ter hire dem horses to- night?"
26925You admit, then, that you did rob his mail?
26925You are his nephew, I believe?
26925You are suspicious of him, ai n''t you?
26925You followed me?
26925You heard two human voices here, did n''t you?
26925You think they''ll remain concealed around the swamp a while?
26925You thought I was the victim, eh?
26925A chuckle escaped the old detective and he replied, blandly:"Insult you?
26925Affecting an indignant air, Old King Brady growled:"Goldurn it, who wuz afollerin''that nigger?"
26925And you will then give me my liberty?"
26925And you?"
26925Are you ready for the attempt?"
26925As they stood looking for a path, a voice reached their ears, saying:"Sim, where are you?"
26925Brady?"
26925Brady?"
26925Could it have been brought North again and thrown in the river here?"
26925Could they have gone to the Dalton residence?"
26925Dalton?"
26925Dalton?"
26925Do you know anything about those things?"
26925Do you understand?"
26925Done gib me a strong tussle when I was a- gwine ter take him into-- into----""What?"
26925Finally he said in sarcastic tones:"Well, how do you like dying by inches?"
26925Finally, though, he regained his composure a little and asked:"What object did you see us pull out of the water?"
26925Got your card?"
26925Harry laughed, and asked:"You notice the resemblance then, do you?"
26925He gazed around in alarm, and gasped hoarsely:"If I tell, will yo''gib me away?"
26925He greeted them warmly and asked, with a smile:"I suppose you are curious to learn the result of my labors?"
26925He intently studied Old King Brady''s face a few moments, then asked:"What were you skulking along after that negro for?"
26925He stared at the pair in astonishment a moment, and cried:"What in thunder are you doing in there?"
26925Her face turned as pale as death, and she sank into a chair, gasping:"Was my father murdered?"
26925His head was very sore, but otherwise he suffered no ill effects from the wound he received, and cried eagerly:"Ca n''t we head off that villain?"
26925How are you feeling now, Young King Brady?"
26925I presume you are here to get information about him, ai n''t you?"
26925If he and Mr. Gloom were the same person, what possible object could he have had in putting that man out of the way?"
26925Is there a town near?"
26925Mr. Dalton stood by the rock, trembling and anxious, and after a few moments of silence, he asked, eagerly:"Who is that?"
26925Now, how could they vanish, and where did they go?"
26925Now, tell me: On the night you got Dalton from the box, was the old gentleman drugged?"
26925Now, where is Dalton kept hidden?"
26925Old King Brady took him in hand by saying:"You are Mr. Mason, I believe?"
26925Presently Mason shouted at them from the bushes in angry tones:"Are you going to shut up?"
26925See the point?"
26925Seeing his advantage, Old King Brady said:"Now, see here, Mr. Wiffles, you know we are detectives, do n''t you?"
26925Several ideas passed through his mind and he finally said:"Will you stick to the case a while longer if I do?"
26925Shall I put the nippers on him?
26925Showing the message to the girl operator, Old King Brady asked:"Do you remember sending this message?"
26925The keeper was asking the girl:"An''yer recognize him as yer father?"
26925The shot brought Mr. Dalton and his daughter from the house, and as they rushed over to the spot, the broker cried joyfully:"So you''ve got him, eh?"
26925Then he''s got Dalton in the swamp, eh?"
26925Then you do n''t expect them here for a long time, do you?"
26925They Saw a big negro in overalls standing at the gate and Harry asked him:"Say-- who lives here?"
26925They met the chief in his office and he smiled pleasantly, and asked:"Well, where have you two been keeping yourselves hidden during the past week?
26925Tracked me, eh?
26925What are you chasing?"
26925What became of a fellow of this description who came in here half an hour ago?"
26925What do you know about the case?"
26925What does it all mean, confound you?"
26925What has this girl done to forfeit her birthright?
26925What has this man done that Dalton should leave his daughter penniless, for his sake?"
26925What is he doing over here on West street?"
26925What is the attraction that keeps him there with no friends or companions but those two negroes?"
26925What time are you going there?"
26925What was his name?"
26925What was it?"
26925What''s that?"
26925What''s your name?"
26925When Harry read the item aloud, Old King Brady cried:"Harry, had Mason''s trip on the river anything to do with finding that corpse?"
26925When Old King Brady recovered from the shock, he demanded:"Can you tell me why your uncle contemplated suicide?"
26925When the detectives looked him over, Old King Brady asked him:"Say, what''s your name?"
26925Where is the black rascal going with that big valise?
26925Where were you to- night?"
26925Where''s the box gone?"
26925While he was cutting open the padlock, Mr. Dalton asked:"May I ask who you are, gentlemen?"
26925Who is dead?"
26925Why did you ask that question?"
26925Why is he hanging around that dismal swamp?
26925Why, Mr. Mason, what in the world are you going around masquerading this way for, at such a late hour of the night?"
26925You here?"
23641''And I?'' 23641 ''And by what right do you presume to follow the behests of a lady still under age?
23641''And that man?'' 23641 ''And the baggage?''
23641''And then?'' 23641 ''And this house is now an inn?''
23641''And what assures you that I am not he? 23641 ''And yours?''
23641''But Miss Dudleigh?'' 23641 ''Dat she cared for him?
23641''Did you think I was playing the coquette?'' 23641 ''Do you not know that you are everything to me?''
23641''Do you wish to go?'' 23641 ''Has she escaped from one of the windows?''
23641''How? 23641 ''It is not this one?''
23641''Shall I tell you why this is so-- why I associate Miss Leighton''s caprice with your return, and regard both with suspicion? 23641 ''Then it is your hate of me, and not your fondness for your sister, that has led you to lay this trap for me?''
23641''What shall I do?'' 23641 ''Who has been sent after Mr. and Mrs. Urquhart to inform them of what has happened?''
23641''Who was that creature? 23641 ''Will you undertake it?
23641''You are going?'' 23641 ''You do not know where she is?''
23641''You love her?'' 23641 ''You want me?''
23641''You will wait till we go?'' 23641 A lesser man?"
23641An event, Honora?
23641And blond?
23641And continued so when you left the room?
23641And he remained in that attitude all the time you were talking?
23641And is not this what God wills?
23641And mademoiselle? 23641 And the box?"
23641And the cloak? 23641 And the daughter?"
23641And they are here now?
23641And yet-- would I? 23641 And you had nothing to found it upon?
23641And yourself?
23641Are you certain this man was not in disguise?
23641Are you sure it is a fact?
23641But the handwriting? 23641 But--""You did marry for love, did n''t you, sweet mamma?
23641Can it be that he brought her in that? 23641 Danger to her or death to him?
23641Did she give you that?
23641Did you not see his face?
23641Disguise?
23641Do you know of any especial tragedy that makes the house memorable?
23641Do you know that she is living?
23641Does she know of the opprobrium which must fall upon her head?
23641From your father?
23641Had he a blond complexion?
23641Have you been admiring the sunset?
23641Have you that letter? 23641 Here?"
23641Honora, can I trust you?
23641How do you know?
23641How do you know?
23641In her daughter''s room? 23641 Is he dead?"
23641Is it this you have come to tell me? 23641 Is she-- are they behind those windows?"
23641Is there no bit of clothing or jewelry left upon her by which we might hope to identify her?
23641It was he,I murmured, with intense conviction,"and the villain--"But how did I know he was a villain?
23641Love?
23641Madame, will you not come forward where it is lighter?
23641Mamma, do you blame me for giving such a man my heart, and do you wonder that what I have dedicated to this hero I can never yield to any other man?
23641Marah living?
23641Mark Felt,I now asked,"did you know Honora Dudleigh''s writing?"
23641Must be? 23641 Need you ask?"
23641Nor tell me why?
23641Of course-- of course; was n''t it signed with her name?
23641Remember? 23641 Saw how I was the one to help carry it in, and also how I was the one to first take hold on it when he wanted it carried out?"
23641See him?
23641Shall not?
23641Storms?
23641Tell me first how you heard about this room?
23641They were not, but--"But what?
23641Trust me?
23641Was he daring me? 23641 Was he within earshot?
23641Was he young?
23641Was he young?
23641Was it not,interrupted the mother,"at the great ball where he was formally introduced to us?"
23641Well, what is it?
23641Well?
23641What are you going to do?
23641What do I not leave behind me here? 23641 What does it mean?"
23641What has called me here?
23641What has happened?
23641What spirits?
23641When was this day? 23641 Where is it, then?"
23641Where is what?
23641Why did they send her here? 23641 Why,"I exclaimed, struck with sudden curiosity,"is this one of the haunted houses we hear of?
23641Will I give them?
23641Will you be good enough to see that one is brought?
23641Would to God--"What, dear mamma?
23641You come from Albany?
23641You have been to France?
23641You knew, then, that a person had been murdered?
23641You will come back to Albany with me?
23641You will do what I ask?
23641You will marry her, though her parents may be called upon to perish upon the scaffold in an ignominy as great as ever befell two guilty mortals?
23641''Do you think I am so blind as not to know the advantage of being the master in a house like that?
23641''How could you be so self- possessed through all these hours and all this maddened searching if you did not know she was safe?''
23641''Is-- is-- Marah ill, or did one of her strange moods overtake her?''
23641''Tell this woman to beware, or leave her to fight her battles alone?''
23641''What does she know about my house?''
23641''When was this found, and where?''
23641A girl, an innocent girl, you say, and sent here?"
23641After all, why not please her?
23641Ah, why had she thrown the treasures of her heart away upon a fool?
23641Am I ill, or was there something unexplained and mysterious in their actions?
23641Am I not right, madame?"
23641Am I to take the last prop from one so soon to be bereft of all the supports upon which she has leaned from infancy?
23641Am I to understand you want to break your fetters?''
23641And did Miss Dudleigh look as if she suspected there was anything wrong?
23641And did the father ever come back?
23641And do you think she died?"
23641And falling at my feet, she groveled in anguish as she pleaded:"Will you kill her?
23641And have n''t you ever really found out where the poor thing went to?
23641And he?"
23641And she knows her crime is detected?
23641And they are going to ride?''
23641And to what do I go forward?
23641And what became of the poor bridegroom?
23641And what does a girl''s fancy need more?
23641And where, in case another woman had taken Mrs. Urquhart''s place, had that woman come from?
23641And why should such a sudden vision of the old oak parlor rise before my eyes?
23641And yet why should it?
23641Are my cheeks warm now?
23641Are there any tales of ghosts among them?
23641Are you sure they left nothing behind them?"
23641Are you willing to give them?"
23641At her daughter''s bedside?"
23641At his first words I should fall in a faint; and how could I resist him then?
23641Avengers of the dead?
23641Beautiful, is it not?
23641Because I have seen you look on her with love; because I have surprised the passion in your face and beheld her--''"''Well?''
23641Before me lay the river from whose banks sand and stone had been taken sixteen years before to replace-- what?
23641Besides, how could I tell all?
23641Better than in the Fairfax kitchen, eh?''
23641But I was obliged to send Hetty, and she saw nothing strange in the woman, though she received money from her hand, and--""Where is Hetty?"
23641But how, how, how?
23641But is he not as near it as a man may be?
23641But is she as interested there as I thought her?
23641But should I?
23641But what could I write that would not look foolish on paper?
23641But what have I got to do with it?
23641By Marah?
23641Can they be friends of the two miserable wretches who dishonored my house with a ghastly crime?
23641Can you go through with it without shrinking and without fear?''
23641Can you go through with it without shrinking?''
23641Can you tell me?
23641Could I suffer more at this wedding than in thinking over it in my dungeon of a room at home?
23641Could it have been a tear I saw for a moment glisten in her eye as she turned half petulantly, half imperiously away?
23641Could n''t it have been an imitation?
23641Could n''t you have found some spot in the house less gloomy, Edwin?"
23641Could she?
23641Did Marah Leighton will the coming of her old lover to my inn on that fatal night?
23641Did ever a child love her mother more?
23641Did it lie in his eyes?
23641Did she not speak of death, and did he not encourage her?
23641Did the daughter hear that bitter exclamation?
23641Did you keep it?"
23641Did you recognize her and tell her?"
23641Did you speak, madame?
23641Do n''t you think so, doctor?"
23641Do we fear suffering or apathy most?
23641Do you know their names?"
23641Do you know what I would do to get the wealth I was born to?
23641Do you own a banshee?
23641Do you remember the words as told me by the negro who overheard them?
23641Do you think I have not made my calculations well?
23641Do you wonder that I am heart- broken-- that I feel like turning my face to the wall and never looking up again?"
23641Excuse me, it was your daughter, then?"
23641First, the question from his lips:''Will you undertake it?
23641Friends of the Dudleighs?
23641From which is it entered?''
23641Great heavens, did she go with them, then?
23641Had I not seen her standing at the window an hour or two before?
23641Had he told any of the other servants what he had seen?
23641Has papa written?"
23641Has she not guardians to consult?
23641Has the future in it anything for a man like me?"
23641Have I the right to say more than he?"
23641Have only twenty- four hours elapsed?
23641Have you ever heard any of the traditions connected with it?"
23641Have you looked at this house?
23641Have you never heard from her since?"
23641Have you strength enough to carry you through?''
23641How came she to know this?
23641How came you to meet the marquis in that place?"
23641How could dey help it, sah?
23641How could it, with one looking like a fixed stone of agate and the other like a rolling ball of fire?
23641How could she hope to find happiness for her child here?"
23641How could she look like Mrs. Urquhart?
23641How is her happiness threatened?
23641How long have you lived here?''
23641How was I, then, to understand the matter?
23641How?
23641I am your master, Marah; why not make me a happy one?''
23641I did not know-- how could I know?
23641I heard her advance toward her daughter--"do you really love the marquis?
23641I not only could not do this and live, but to save you from pain I would dare-- What would I not dare?
23641I shall live in clover, eh?
23641I thought it was in the grounds, for how could I think that the house could, without my knowledge, hold anything of the nature I have just suggested?"
23641If the conclusions I drew seemed wild, were they not warranted by these words?
23641If the interest in the oak parlor is what I think it is, then she can not be, for what mother would wish to bring peril to her child?
23641Imagination could easily run riot over the supposition, do you not think so, sir?''
23641Is Honora dead?
23641Is it a crime?
23641Is it but yesternight that all the terrible events took place, the memory of which are now making my frame tremble?
23641Is it from experience or the monotony of a commonplace existence that we quickest flee?
23641Is it from them that madame''s knowledge comes, if she has any knowledge?
23641Is it-- was it a true story, Mrs. Truax, or were you merely weaving fancies out of a too fertile brain?"
23641Is n''t it so, mamma mine?"
23641Is not that all?"
23641Is she her mother?
23641Is she living with him?"
23641Is she lost to me in eternity as well as here?
23641Is she to be crushed beneath the guilt of her parents?
23641Is there consideration?
23641Is there gold, or honor, or ease in these?
23641Is there love in this?
23641Is this a place for occurrences?"
23641Just drew upon your fancy?"
23641May I ask what has brought you into these parts, whom we thought in another and somewhat distant country?"
23641May I ask whose body lies here?
23641May I ask your name and whose interests you represent?"
23641May I not take one wee walk in the garden?"
23641Meanwhile do there hide in any part of this wicked world two hearts which throb with unusual terrors this night?
23641Mrs. Truax"--these words to me in low tones, as her daughter withdrew to the other side of the room--"you received my note?"
23641Must I not go out till evening?
23641Must be much admired in her own land?"
23641Near enough to hear all you said?"
23641Now, what had happened to it, and where is the stuff he took out of it?"
23641Now, what have you against me?''
23641Now, what was it filled with, and what has become of the stuff?"
23641Or does there pass across the mirror of a guilty memory any unusual shapes of horror prognostic of detection and coming punishment?
23641Or were her thoughts busy with her own past, and its possible incommunicable secrets of blood and horror?
23641Quite English in style, eh?"
23641Selfish being that I was, I dreaded to have her made free, lest-- What?
23641Shall I ever forget that morning?
23641Shall I hunt for an opening?"
23641Shall I look outside it, ma''am?"
23641She even found a smile to bestow upon me; and was it a tear?
23641She is well, I trust?"
23641She knew her daughter could not safely marry into a high and noble family, and so--""What is this you say?"
23641She was a clever woman, and--""Written by Marah?
23641Should I learn enough to pay me for the humiliation of my position?
23641Should not I--''"''You?''
23641So what can I say to dissuade her?''
23641So, what is your news, dear mamma?
23641Sometimes-- But why conjecture?
23641That of some faithful black or of a favorite horse?"
23641The answer came brokenly, but with unwavering strength:"Did you not say that she was innocent?
23641The girl is here, is she not?''
23641Then impelled by what I thought to be my duty, I inquired:''And your money, Honora?''
23641This is a time of revolt; shall I revolt, too?''
23641To- day-- to- night?"
23641Truax?"
23641Truax?"
23641Was Honora Urquhart''s hair so very unique that a head of wavy brown hair should bring her up so startlingly to my mind?
23641Was he going to be considerate, after all?
23641Was it because of some noise I heard?
23641Was it horror of the lie he was uttering?
23641Was it in his smile?
23641Was it not written by Marah, and not Honora?
23641Was it over the box when it went out?"
23641Was it the only letter which she has ever sent you?
23641Was n''t it one?
23641Was not that old theory of ours, that the Urquharts had brought treasure in their great box, still a plausible one?
23641Was not the minister waiting for us at the church?
23641Was she horror- stricken at the story of a danger she had never fully comprehended till now?
23641Was that madame''s voice?
23641Was there such a man among them?
23641We have to settle with Monsieur and Madame Dubois, meanwhile--""What?"
23641Were my secret doubts right?
23641Were there none of the crowd remaining besides your two selves?"
23641Were you and this stranger alone in the room when you held this conversation?
23641Westgate?"
23641What a-- But why encumber these sheets with words of mine?
23641What are these dreadful secrets?
23641What can threaten me now of importance enough to call up such an expression to your face?
23641What could she, what did she mean?
23641What do you mean by coming back?''
23641What if I had pains and hours of darkness, did I not have your smile, also, and, later on, your love?
23641What is it, Mrs. Truax?
23641What is it?
23641What is the history of wars?
23641What is there in our simple life to create secrecy between persons who love each other so dearly?
23641What kind of a room have you to offer me?"
23641What makes you think anything has happened?
23641What should I do?
23641What was it to me?"
23641What would they think if they could see her as I do rising in the night to roam about a grave, the unmarked head- stone of which baffles her scrutiny?
23641When the pen dropped from my hand-- why did it drop?
23641Whenever did you speak like this before, mamma?
23641Where had I seen such hair before?
23641Where is my daughter, Mrs. Truax?
23641Where is this room?"
23641Where was that light, Mrs. Truax, and what has happened here that I should feel myself called upon to cross this threshold to- night?"
23641Who could ever tell the complete story of such a house as this?"
23641Who were these women, then?
23641Why had she given the trust of her heart to a villain?
23641Why should I feel afraid?
23641Why should you and papa be mysterious?
23641Why should you question it?
23641Why--""And was this letter in her writing?
23641Why?
23641Why?
23641Why?
23641Why?
23641Why?
23641Why?"
23641Why?"
23641Will it not suffice to soothe an antagonism which I never shared?''
23641Will my guests be so kind as to leave me in peace to- night, so that I may satisfy a curiosity which has become almost insupportable?
23641Will you let us come in?
23641Will you not believe it, Honora?"
23641Will you wait till I call one or two of my lodgers?"
23641Would he guess next what that something was?
23641Would it affect you very much to hear disastrous news of them?"
23641Would that mother answer?
23641Would this have been the fate of Honora''s husband had he forsaken her and returned home?
23641You are my fate, Marah; will you not let me be yours?''
23641You can all imagine how he looked when he said:"Did you see me handling of the big box, ma''am?"
23641You have come from Paris-- why not he?
23641You remember the day you sent me with Cecile to take my first lessons in tambour work of Madame Douay?"
23641You will let us come here, will you not?
23641You will promise me to throw it away?
23641Your eyes?
23641[ Illustration]"What is it?"
23641and by what right do you ask that?"
23641and were not the horses that were to take us there even now champing their bits before the door?
23641can you believe her?
23641cried out several voices, as I ceased,"is that all?
23641do you seek the bones of your victim?"
23641do you?''
23641does that unrest spring from premeditated or already accomplished guilt?
23641if they had wanted to hear of an inn that was really romantic, I could have told them--''"''What?''
23641is it good news or bad?
23641was that the name of this young girl?
23641were the old psychological influences at work, and had they acted upon him at forty miles distance?
23641what am I saying?
23641what has happened?"
23641what is it?
23641what is that?
23641who is trembling now?"
23641why did you not warn me at first?
23641would we not have another life to answer for before God?
23641written by her hand?"
21530A big foot or a little foot?
21530A cross?
21530A gentleman and a lady? 21530 A little scheme of my own, my dear; you''re always calling me a funk, and I wanted to prove----""What happened?"
21530A story? 21530 A yellow streak, have I?"
21530Abducted?
21530About the shooting I mean?
21530Am I a fool? 21530 Am I interrupting you?"
21530An agreement between you and me? 21530 And I suppose the next attempt was the shooting?"
21530And I''m to hand it all over to you?
21530And a few pet chickens to follow you about?
21530And are the police going to keep guard and follow her wherever she goes? 21530 And he has left his money----?"
21530And how do you feel now that you''re very rich?
21530And how would you have explained it all, supposing you had succeeded?
21530And if he catches you?
21530And is that all?
21530And now what are your plans for to- day?
21530And the Briggerlands are her heirs? 21530 And then----?"
21530And what can we do for you?
21530And what do you expect me to do?
21530And what would make you happy-- Jean?
21530And what would make you human?
21530And who did you think of, Jean?
21530And why did n''t you come here at once?
21530And you really would go a long way-- Rennett-- I mean, to help Jim Meredith?
21530And you were prepared for him?
21530And you-- you, Jean?
21530Are n''t you ever afraid of these men escaping?
21530Are n''t you feeling well?
21530Are you expecting anybody?
21530Are you going out to- night, miss?
21530Are you going to take me?
21530Are you in love?
21530Are you staying very long?
21530Are you sure she did n''t?
21530At the first attempt, my dear, what do you think of that?
21530Back to London?
21530Better?
21530Briggerland?
21530But really, Mr. Glover, you do n''t mean that I am in any serious danger-- from whom?
21530But suppose I do n''t want to know the name of my future husband?
21530But what somebody did last night, miss?
21530But where? 21530 But who sent you?"
21530But you ca n''t sit in the dark, you''ll want to read, wo n''t you?
21530But your story? 21530 By car?"
21530By road?
21530By the way, Jack, where was Briggerland the night Bulford was murdered?
21530By the way, Jean went into Monte Carlo last night, did n''t she?
21530By the way, Rennett, did you see that a fellow had been released from prison to a nursing home for a minor operation the other day? 21530 Ca n''t you break it?"
21530Ca n''t you forget her? 21530 Ca n''t you?
21530Cab, miss?
21530Can I do anything for you?
21530Can I have a word with you, Jean?
21530Can she be seen?
21530Can you account for this man being here?
21530Can you advance any theory, Rennett?
21530Chosen me?
21530Could Jaggs get us out of our trouble too?
21530Could he love you?
21530Dead?
21530Did Bulford commit suicide?
21530Did I hear what?
21530Did I really put you in any danger?
21530Did Jean do that?
21530Did a parson happen to be staying here, sir?
21530Did he hurt you?
21530Did he make a will?
21530Did he shoot himself?
21530Did n''t I tell you they would be here?
21530Did n''t you see him go?
21530Did poor Lydia leave a letter?
21530Did the police notice?
21530Did they leave any name?
21530Did you catch a glimpse of the chauffeur?
21530Did you catch anything?
21530Did you find what you wanted, mademoiselle?
21530Did you get him?
21530Did you hear nothing of the murder?
21530Did you help him to escape? 21530 Did you know of any attachment between the chauffeur and your guest?"
21530Did you see the car?
21530Did you see the man?
21530Did you tell Lydia that he was losing heavily?
21530Do n''t you realise that my father is within hearing, and at any moment Madame Meredith may come out? 21530 Do n''t you think we''d better give this up and get back to London?
21530Do n''t you, Jean?
21530Do you associate me with this dreadful tragedy? 21530 Do you believe in killing your enemies?"
21530Do you dance?
21530Do you know where she''s gone?
21530Do you mean that?
21530Do you really think that all this time she has been trying to kill me?
21530Do you remember that man Talmot, my dear?
21530Do you say she is a thief?
21530Do you see that?
21530Do you spend all your nights looking round?
21530Do you still suggest that she harbours designs against my young life?
21530Do you suggest that this girl has connived at a murder?
21530Do you think I do n''t know that?
21530Do you think he is a detective?
21530Do you think he was firing at me?
21530Do you think in a few months''time we could get Jim Meredith into a nursing home for-- say an appendix operation?
21530Do you think it was soldiers practising?
21530Do you think so? 21530 Do you think the lawyer is keen on the girl?"
21530Do you think they''ll tell you?
21530Do you think you will remember?
21530Does Miss Briggerland know?
21530Does n''t he?
21530Does n''t it strike you, Mrs. Meredith, that if I had made love to that young lady, I should not be seen here to- day?
21530Does n''t know his name, eh?
21530Does n''t she know?
21530Doing-- what?
21530Eh?
21530Escape, my dear?
21530Finished, Miss Beale?
21530From poor Miss Briggerland?
21530From the hospital?
21530Go back to London, my dear?
21530Good morning, madame,he said politely, and then looking at the man,"is this man in your employ?
21530Had you one which brought in somebody else?
21530Hallo, people-- how did I get here?
21530Hard luck,said Mr. Briggerland, with a smile,"but where is Mrs. Meredith-- I understood she was going out with you to- day?"
21530Has anybody been this afternoon?
21530Has he appendicitis?
21530Has he told you what a terrible ogre I am?
21530Has he warned you against me?
21530Has the body been found?
21530Have I been making love to Miss Briggerland by any chance?
21530Have I heard about Mrs. Meredith? 21530 Have cantaloups life?"
21530Have n''t we had enough mysteries?
21530Have they any theories?
21530Have you brought your Mr. Jaggs with you?
21530Have you had your driver long?
21530Have you heard anything or seen anybody?
21530Have you seen Jack Glover lately?
21530Have your nerves gone wrong?
21530He has his regimental pay and £ 500 a year, two estates, mortgaged, no brains and a title-- what is the use of his title to me? 21530 He used to sleep at your flat, did n''t he?"
21530He was by way of being an acquaintance of yours, a member of your father''s club, was n''t he?
21530He''ll be alive,prophesied his partner,"now the only thing is-- where shall I find the girl?"
21530He''s fairer than most of the people in the south of France,she said,"but then all very highly- bred Moors are, are n''t they?"
21530He''s not dead?
21530Here?
21530Honestly, Glover, do you believe that poor girl could do so dastardly a thing as lie about the man she loves?
21530How am I to thank you?
21530How can I have an old gentleman in the flat without explaining why he is there?
21530How did he get in-- I mean this madman?
21530How did he get those two slashes on his hand?
21530How did it happen?
21530How did you come to know him?
21530How did you come to meet him, my dear?
21530How do you come to know that lady?
21530How do you like the sensation?
21530How is your poor hand, Marcus?
21530How long can we run?
21530How long shall I be away?
21530How rich would you have to be?
21530How was I to know that it was you?
21530I ca n''t write shorthand, but that does n''t matter, does it?
21530I did n''t know you were so fond of Jimmy?
21530I have n''t been very kind to him, have I? 21530 I see,"said Jack,"so you came into Turbie by the back road?
21530I suppose now the police are making tender inquiries?
21530I suppose those sort of things happen too?
21530I think she may have done,said the girl defiantly;"what was the third attempt?"
21530I was interested in you from the moment I saw you step out of Mr. Mordon''s taxi into the mud, but I was especially interested in you----"When?
21530I wonder if that lunatic is going to talk?
21530I wonder if you know how uncomfortable I am?
21530I''m not a good dictator, am I? 21530 I''m so confused-- where are we going now?
21530I?
21530If I miss her will you tell her not to go out again until I come to the house?
21530If it were for a large sum? 21530 If one had read that in a book one would never have believed it, would one?"
21530In prison?
21530In two months?
21530Is n''t he here?
21530Is n''t it right?
21530Is n''t that your idea, too?
21530Is that the kind of treatment you''d like, Jean?
21530Is there a rake- off for you?
21530Is this yours?
21530Is your father with her?
21530It is a very pretty wrist,laughed Lydia,"but why did you want me to see it?"
21530It is almost the same, is n''t it?
21530It is the kind of treatment you''d like, eh, Jean?
21530It is the last way in the world a lunatic would enter a flat, is n''t it? 21530 It was on the hall table-- didn''t you see it?"
21530Jack Glover?
21530Jaggs?
21530Jaggs?
21530Jaggs?
21530Jaggs?
21530Jean did it?
21530Jean, you are not deceiving me?
21530Jean,he said in a milder voice,"had n''t we better let up on the girl for a bit-- until that lunatic doctor affair has blown over?"
21530Jean?
21530Letters?
21530Making your will? 21530 Marcus, why do n''t you marry her?"
21530Married? 21530 Married?"
21530Marry a chauffeur? 21530 Marry a man I''ve not seen-- a murderer?"
21530Marry her, Jean; are you mad? 21530 May I tell her?"
21530May I wish you a greater happiness than any you have found?
21530Me?
21530Me?
21530Meredith, miss?
21530Miss Beale, is n''t it?
21530Mordon dead, eh? 21530 Mordon?
21530Mr. Glover,she said reproachfully,"do you think it is right to say these things, with poor Mr. Meredith lying dead?"
21530Mrs. Meredith expected to see us, did n''t she, Margaret?
21530My God, Jean, what are we going to do?
21530My actions?
21530My arrest?
21530My dear Mr. Glover, why do you pursue your vendetta against her? 21530 My marriage?
21530My murderous plots?
21530Not Jean?
21530Not here?
21530Now do you believe?
21530Now what are you going to do, Jean?
21530Now will you do something more for me?
21530Now, please do n''t be horrid, Mr. Glover, you are n''t suggesting that Jean wrote this awful letter to herself, are you?
21530Number one?
21530Oh, he''s here, is he? 21530 On the African coast?"
21530Pretty good French, miss, was n''t it?
21530Really?
21530Remember, at half- past ten you will take Madame Meredith to the Lovers''Chair-- you know the place?
21530Shall I see your father? 21530 She has n''t won till Jimmy Meredith is dead or----""Or----?"
21530Since when has the_ Daily Megaphone_ been published in the ghastly suburbs?
21530Smallpox?
21530So it was, but was n''t it established that that was Mr. Meredith''s own weapon?
21530So that is what you are aiming at? 21530 So that was why you asked me to keep her on the raft, and make her stand up?"
21530So you are adding to your other crimes by turning novelist, are you?
21530So you found the young lady,said the elderly lady, smiling her welcome,"and what does Miss Beale think of your proposition?"
21530Sopping?
21530Sorry,he mumbled,"but----""Does Miss Briggerland say he is so very bad?"
21530Suicide?
21530Suppose I came to- morrow night,he said, lowering his voice,"and helped you to get away?
21530Suppose somebody were to present a cheque to the bank in my name?
21530Suppose we reach South America safely?
21530Surely you told her we were great friends?
21530Tell me,said Lydia,"where was this cross found?"
21530That Mordon fired at Mrs. Meredith when she was on the swimming raft? 21530 That cave man stuff?"
21530The Bulford murder?
21530The two hundred thousand on deposit should be easily get- at- able, Marcus, and she''d even give you more----"Why?
21530The woman-- there is no danger from her?
21530The_ Jungle Queen_,said Jack,"that''s the motor- launch, is n''t it?
21530Then I suppose somebody hit you on the head?
21530Then you think I''m safe during the day?
21530There was no trouble?
21530There''s something very soothing about a church, is n''t there?
21530Too late,she said slowly,"then he is married?"
21530Until you send for the police, eh? 21530 Upon me?"
21530Was it an awful letter?
21530Was that a call for me?
21530Was that very painful?
21530Well, Rennett, do you think we''re going to get into hot water, or are we going to perjure our way to safety?
21530Well, are you going to do it?
21530Well, have you been fishing?
21530Well, my dear,Mr. Briggerland looked up and beamed through his glasses,"so poor Meredith has committed suicide?"
21530Well----?
21530Well?
21530Were you up so early?
21530Wha-- what?
21530What about my father?
21530What am I going to do?
21530What are they looking for?
21530What are we going to do?
21530What are you doing?
21530What did you tell her?
21530What did you want to tap for?
21530What do you imagine they will think he is?
21530What do you intend doing? 21530 What do you mean?"
21530What do you mean?
21530What do you suppose it was?
21530What do you want me to do with it?
21530What do you want?
21530What does Mordon want you for?
21530What does it matter if he does?
21530What does it mean?
21530What else?
21530What facts have you given us?
21530What fire?
21530What happened to them?
21530What happened?
21530What happened?
21530What happened?
21530What happens then, Marcus?
21530What has happened to you?
21530What have you to tell me?
21530What is he, a negro?
21530What is her name?
21530What is it all about?
21530What is it, what is it?
21530What is it?
21530What is it?
21530What is it?
21530What is it?
21530What is that boat out there-- a man o''war, François?
21530What is that?
21530What is the book, Miss Briggerland?
21530What is the interesting experience?
21530What is the pistol?
21530What is the scheme, Lydia?
21530What is there to be?
21530What is this you are trying to do?
21530What is this you''re saying about my maid?
21530What is your plan?
21530What parcel was that?
21530What shall I write?
21530What sort of a cross?
21530What sort of a man was he?
21530What the devil is he bowing at?
21530What time did you arrive in San Remo?
21530What time will he come?
21530What was that tale you were telling Lydia this morning,he asked,"about Glover''s gambling?
21530What was that?
21530What were you going to suggest?
21530What will they do to him?
21530What will you do? 21530 What would happen?"
21530What''s all this about?
21530What''s he here for, miss?
21530What''s this?
21530What-- what is the charge?
21530What-- what was that?
21530What?
21530What?
21530Whatever happened last night, Lydia?
21530When are you going back to London?
21530When did this happen?
21530When is this interesting event to take place?
21530When you say''our set,''to which set are you referring?
21530Where are you taking me?
21530Where could we get a ship to take us to South America?
21530Where did Glover come from?
21530Where did Mrs. Meredith sleep? 21530 Where did you come from?"
21530Where did you go in San Remo?
21530Where does he sleep?
21530Where have they gone?
21530Where have you been, Jean?
21530Where is he now?
21530Where is the angel?
21530Where is this magical chair?
21530Where is your chauffeur, Mordon?
21530Where is your father?
21530Where would they make for?
21530Which girl are you talking about?
21530Who are they?
21530Who did it?
21530Who did it?
21530Who has n''t?
21530Who is he?
21530Who is he?
21530Who is it?
21530Who is this?
21530Who killed Ferdinand Bulford? 21530 Who noticed that?"
21530Who told you that?
21530Who was it?
21530Who?
21530Why are n''t you coming with us-- there is nothing the matter with your ankle?
21530Why did n''t you tell me there was smallpox in Cap Martin?
21530Why did she write that?
21530Why did you do that?
21530Why do you say that?
21530Why do you think these things about Jean?
21530Why do you want me to marry her?
21530Why have you done so much for me? 21530 Why make a will at all?"
21530Why me?
21530Why not here?
21530Why not? 21530 Why not?"
21530Why should I be piqued?
21530Why should you want to sleep at her flat at all?
21530Why, Jaggs,she said impulsively,"wherever have you been?"
21530Why, miss?
21530Why?
21530Why?
21530Will madame get me change for this?
21530Will you explain by what miracle the car arrived at the psychological moment?
21530Will you tell her? 21530 Will you tell me this-- do I call you Mr. Muley or Lord Muley?"
21530With me?
21530With whom could you be compromised but with your future wife? 21530 Without fear, favour or prejudice, eh?
21530Wo n''t this be very serious for you, if the authorities find that you have connived at the escape?
21530Wo n''t you come too?
21530Work on what?
21530Would you rather I went?
21530Would you, miss?
21530Wounded vanity? 21530 Yes, what about him?"
21530Yes, why?
21530You are Muley Hafiz, are n''t you?
21530You are not going into Gibraltar?
21530You believe in the cave- man method, do you?
21530You did n''t expect to get a fortune of six hundred thousand pounds without trouble, did you? 21530 You did n''t take any notice of him, did you, Jean?"
21530You did n''t wish to speak to him?
21530You expected me, did you?
21530You found it in the sheets?
21530You have brought it?
21530You have n''t been up to any funny business with them, have you?
21530You have n''t hurt him?
21530You know that the murder must have been committed at half- past eleven?
21530You know why I''ve come?
21530You mean Jaggs? 21530 You met Muley?"
21530You say we are getting deeper and deeper into his hands? 21530 You think there is no hope?"
21530You understand the terms? 21530 You understand, you will not be able to get near her?
21530You''d like it, would n''t you, Jean? 21530 You''ll not attempt to leave this house?"
21530You''re sure you wo n''t come with me?
21530You''re the lady that wants a maid, ma''am, are n''t you?
21530You''re thinking of the''or''?
21530You''re-- going-- to-- marry-- him-- next-- week?
21530You, my dear? 21530 6, the first cubicle on the left,he whispered,"you will not fail me?
21530A fellow I picked out of the gutter?
21530And is that impossible person, Mr. Marcus Stepney, also in the vendetta?
21530And shall I tell you why you arrived too late?"
21530Are you going to spirit Lydia away from us?
21530Are you going to the Casino?"
21530Are you sending her the jewels?"
21530Besides, you are throwing away good money?"
21530Briggerland?"
21530But how on earth are they going to explain it?
21530But who would have imagined he would have turned up here?"
21530But who?
21530By the way, what am I to pay you?"
21530Chapter VIII"And now, Mrs. Meredith,"said Jack Glover,"what are you going to do?"
21530Chapter XX"Have you solved the mystery of the submerged bed?"
21530Chapter XXVII"Who were the haughty individuals interviewing Jean in the saloon?"
21530Chapter XXVIII"However did you get here?"
21530Cole- Mortimer?"
21530Did she ever talk to you about keys?"
21530Did somebody shoot at you?"
21530Did you notice this?"
21530Did you see that fellow on the quay yelling for the craft to come back after we left Malaga?
21530Do I understand that all this property is mine?"
21530Do n''t you realise the social value of a lion''s recognition?"
21530Do you feel capable of being harrowed?"
21530Do you know where he is staying at Monte Carlo?"
21530Do you mean pique?"
21530Do you play bridge?"
21530Do you realise that any day her lawyer may persuade her to make a will leaving her money to a-- a home for cats, or something equally untouchable?
21530Do you speak Arabic?"
21530Do you think he''ll ever come again, you fool?"
21530Do you think it is playing the game, honestly now?
21530Glover has explained everything, has he not?"
21530Glover has told you just why this marriage must take place?"
21530Good God, did you hear that, Jean?"
21530Has she had a letter recently?"
21530Have n''t you to send it off?"
21530Have we any money?"
21530Have you been into Monte Carlo?"
21530Have you been vaccinated recently?"
21530Have you seen him?"
21530Have you told my father about the letters which were discovered?"
21530He stood watching her, his breast heaving, his burning eyes devouring her, then:"You will give me back that letter I wrote, Jean?"
21530He was only here a day, was n''t he?"
21530Her second thought was to seek out old Jaggs, but where could he be found?
21530His sincerity--?
21530Hoggins?"
21530How did he come to be on the spot?"
21530How did your interview with the commissioner go on?"
21530How long ago?
21530How long are you staying?"
21530How much had she heard?
21530How would I explain my presence in your room?"
21530I have seen him coming out of your house every morning?"
21530I made love to her behind poor Jim''s back, and she''ticked me off,''and that''s why I''m so annoyed with her?"
21530I suppose he stays in his room all night, miss?"
21530I suppose it was reported to the police?"
21530I suppose it was the girl''s evidence that turned the trick?"
21530I suppose you have heard of the Bulford murder?"
21530I suppose,"he said with a smile,"you did n''t write a letter saying that you were going to run away with the chauffeur?"
21530I understand he paid a visit to the asylum a few days ago?"
21530I''ve got rather a lot of money, have n''t I?"
21530If I desire you to write that letter, what else matters?"
21530If by chance,"he spoke deliberately,"we could get James Meredith into this house to- morrow morning, would you marry him?"
21530If he was, for what?
21530Is he a detective?"
21530Is it too far to walk?"
21530Is it usual?"
21530Is n''t it a case of wounded vanity on your part?"
21530Is n''t it rather thrilling, Jean?
21530Is there a letter from her?"
21530It is too dangerous a letter to be in existence, Jean, dangerous for you and for me-- you will let me have it to- night?"
21530It was rather ridiculous of me, was n''t it?"
21530It was very----""What?"
21530Jaggs?"
21530Jaggs?"
21530Jaggs?"
21530Jaggs?"
21530Jaggs?"
21530Jaggs?"
21530Jean,"she asked suddenly,"was it Mr. Jaggs you saw in the wood?"
21530Little Xavier----""Xavier?"
21530May I call you by your Christian name?"
21530Meredith?"
21530Meredith?"
21530Meredith?"
21530Meredith?"
21530Morgan?"
21530Now what do you suggest?"
21530Now, Miss Beale, what do you say?"
21530Now, at whom were the other two discharged?"
21530Now, you will accept Jaggs, wo n''t you?"
21530Of course, if she cried out, I suppose he would come to her rescue, but then a real burglar would n''t let her cry out, would he?"
21530Reinvest it?"
21530Rennett?"
21530She could live in Italy, study under the best masters, have a car of her own-- the possibilities seemed illimitable-- and the disadvantages?
21530Should she tell Jean?
21530So Jean is a murderess at heart?"
21530So he spent every night in the grounds, or somewhere about the house?
21530Something signed and sealed and delivered, eh?"
21530Stepney?"
21530The driver leant over the shining apron which partially protected him from the weather, and shouted:"Is Miss Beale there?"
21530There is only one end to this-- that which you see----_''""Do you intend passing suspicion to somebody else?"
21530They were walking down the road towards the officers''waiting car, when Jack asked:"May I see that letter again?"
21530Thun?"
21530To the office?"
21530Was he a blackamoor?"
21530Was it before the clothing was removed from this room or after?"
21530Were you interested?"
21530What a grisly idea?"
21530What chance had he of escaping?
21530What disadvantages were there?
21530What does it matter if Lydia dies now or in fifty years time?"
21530What happened to you, darling?"
21530What is he like, Jean?
21530What is he then?
21530What is your immediate plan?
21530What is your ward?"
21530When is Easter?
21530When the_ maître d''hôtel_ had gone the girl asked:"What am I to do with the money?
21530Where is Lydia?"
21530Who are they?
21530Who had put the child there?
21530Who introduced him?"
21530Who is he?"
21530Who were they?"
21530Why did I ever allow that villain even to speak to poor Lydia?"
21530Why did n''t she wake us up?"
21530Why does she want to go to the Lovers''Chair?
21530Why?"
21530Will you come along with me?
21530Will you come and see her?"
21530Will you come up with me?"
21530Will you go downstairs and wait until I come?"
21530Wo n''t you sit down?"
21530Would you like me to search the house?"
21530Would you like to come?
21530You are prepared for that?"
21530You know me?"
21530You think that all these plots are designed to put me out of the way so that they can enjoy my money?"
21530You''re shocked?"
21530You''ve been there, have n''t you, Margaret?"
21530You''ve no idea where I can find him?
21530he asked, evidently fogged,"but why should I say----?"
21530he pleaded,"as an especial favour to me?
21530he said in horror,"here-- in Cap Martin?
21530said Rennett, in a shaking voice,"what happened?"
21530she asked lazily,"about the gardener''s little boy?
10082A glove?
10082A little talk? 10082 About the Riversbrook affair?"
10082About what time was this?
10082And Sir Horace had been keeping her?
10082And a fortnight before Sir Horace left for Scotland there was a quarrel-- Sir Horace cast her off?
10082And after she left you took the first opportunity of looking to see if the papers were still there, and you found they were gone?
10082And are you going to arrest Birchill?
10082And are you sure he has n''t returned?
10082And did n''t you tell him that Mr. Holymead has gone to the theatre and wo n''t be back for some considerable time?
10082And did not that tree obstruct your view of the library window?
10082And from that distance you could hear the voices?
10082And he told you he would n''t want you again until the following night about eight o''clock?
10082And how did you repay him,exclaimed Inspector Chippenfield sternly,"by murdering him?"
10082And how did you, an ex- convict, come to get into the service of one of His Majesty''s judges?
10082And how do you fit in the letter advising us of the murder?
10082And is it that you wanted me to tell Madame?
10082And it was no uncommon thing for them to say things to you about your master, eh?
10082And now, about finger- prints?
10082And sometimes there were quarrels between your late master and these visitors, were there not?
10082And that you will be arrested for_ his_ murder?
10082And the boy? 10082 And the prisoner did n''t return during that time?"
10082And the story you have just told me about the Zoo and the pictures and the rest is virtually the same as the statement you made at the station?
10082And there was nothing suspicious-- you saw no one?
10082And this woman-- this lady-- turned out the lights and closed the front door?
10082And was everything all right the morning of the 18th?
10082And what colour do you affect-- grey, rose- pink or white paper?
10082And what did you do after that?
10082And what did you do after visiting the Zoo?
10082And what did you do while your wife and child were at the pictures?
10082And what did you do with them?
10082And what do you make of the disappearance of Sir Horace''s revolver?
10082And what explanation would you have given for having found them-- for having come over here in defiance of your orders from Inspector Chippenfield?
10082And what is that?
10082And what sort of a man was Sir Horace, Field?
10082And what time did Sir Horace arrive home?
10082And when he was held up in this room by a man with a revolver he made a dash for his own revolver and got in the first shot?
10082And when will she return here?
10082And where do you think Hill''s gone to?
10082And where was the writing- desk from where you got your letters?
10082And who do you think stole them?
10082And who told you, Miss Fewbanks?
10082And why was that?
10082And you can get half a dozen porters to identify him?
10082And you immediately came up here to see if it was true?
10082And you made a practice of going through them?
10082And you parted on good terms?
10082And you were taken to the Hampstead Police Station to make a statement as to your movements on the day and night of the murder?
10082And you, Rolfe-- do you think Kemp could have seen Sir Horace leaning out of the window if he had been here?
10082And your husband did n''t go out again?
10082Anyone about?
10082Anything about him that is different?
10082Anything fresh about the Riversbrook case?
10082Anyway, what is your name?
10082Are you Miss Fanning?
10082Are you aware, witness, that there is a large chestnut- tree at the side of the library, in front of the window?
10082Are you detectives?
10082Are you sure of that?
10082Are you sure of that?
10082Are you sure they were in this hiding place when Inspector Chippenfield took charge of everything?
10082At Covent Garden?
10082At home, was he? 10082 Away where?"
10082Beg your pardon, sir, but is there anything wrong about Sir Horace?
10082Birchill not the right man?
10082Birchill?
10082Burglary?
10082But are you sure it was half- past ten? 10082 But do you think Kemp''s story of how Sir Horace was shot is literally true?
10082But if he was here, do you think he saw Sir Horace leaning out of the window?
10082But might he not have gone out in the night while you were asleep?
10082But surely you''re going to take out a warrant for Hill''s arrest?
10082But the question is-- where can he have got to? 10082 But what can you do, Gabrielle?"
10082But, monsieur, why will you not tell me?
10082By whom?
10082Cab, ma''am?
10082Can I have a glass of water?
10082Can I speak to you on the quiet for a moment, sir?
10082Can you describe this boy more closely?
10082Come on, what''s the charge?
10082Did Birchill stand over you while you made out this plan?
10082Did Sir Horace keep a revolver?
10082Did he put the letters back?
10082Did he see you?
10082Did he take it away with him when he went to Scotland? 10082 Did n''t Birchill tell you?"
10082Did n''t Fred say that the body was warm when he touched it?
10082Did n''t I say Kemp was a liar? 10082 Did n''t you notice anything suspicious when you were along there?"
10082Did you do this?
10082Did you enter the house or just look round?
10082Did you get it?
10082Did you go up there that night?
10082Did you look in this room?
10082Did you notice anything strange about him, or was his manner much the same as on other occasions that he used your cab?
10082Did you recognise who it was?
10082Did you think the prisoner might return?
10082Disappeared from London? 10082 Do n''t you think he will be in an awkward position if the jury were to acquit Holymead?"
10082Do n''t you think the murderer will bolt out of the country when he knows his mate is prepared to turn King''s evidence against him?
10082Do n''t you think, Mr. Crewe, that, after all, he may be the actual murderer-- that he told you a lot of lies just as he did to us? 10082 Do n''t you think, dear, you would be better if you had a rest and a little sleep?"
10082Do you believe that part of his story was true?
10082Do you know him? 10082 Do you know if Sir Horace kept a revolver?"
10082Do you know if Sir Horace was in the habit of carrying a pocket- book?
10082Do you know when she will be home?
10082Do you know who Sir Horace Fewbanks''s murderer is?
10082Do you know who stole the pocket- book?
10082Do you like going to school, Daphne?
10082Do you mean that Holymead should be allowed to go free?
10082Do you mean to say that Mr. Crewe thinks Mr. Holymead had anything to do with the murder of my father?
10082Do you mean to suggest that Inspector Chippenfield stole them?
10082Do you remember what time it was when Mr. Holymead engaged you at Hyde Park?
10082Do you see any difference?
10082Do you think Birchill will squeak?
10082Do you think he was going to Riversbrook?
10082Do you think she knew where they were?
10082Do you think that Hill did it?
10082Do you think that she stole these letters-- these papers?
10082Do you think you can do it, Rolfe?
10082Do you think you know who did it?
10082Does Fred think that?
10082Does n''t this flight point to his guilt?
10082Explains what?
10082False evidence-- Hill?
10082For the murder?
10082Good God, do you want me to swear that I killed him?
10082Has he confessed to you? 10082 Has he got it?"
10082Has the housekeeper come up, Hill?
10082Have n''t I just said so?
10082Have you a cigarette?
10082Have you any idea who he is?
10082Have you any idea why he came down from Scotland?
10082Have you anything more to tell me?
10082Have you come to tell her that you have caught the wicked man who did assassinate him? 10082 Have you ever had paper like it at your flat?"
10082Have you ever seen paper of that kind in Birchill''s possession before he showed you the plan?
10082Have you found out-- anything?
10082Have you got them?
10082Have you got them?
10082Have you thought of any other way?
10082He did something for a relative of yours which at that time greatly relieved your mind?
10082Hill left the country?
10082Hill,said Rolfe quietly,"what does this mean?"
10082How are you to- day?
10082How can any one earn a respectable honest living by being a nark?
10082How can you be certain, if he did n''t tell you where he was going?
10082How could I have overlooked it? 10082 How did they get him?"
10082How did you find out?
10082How did you get hold of the cunning scoundrel?
10082How did you get into the house?
10082How do you know all this?
10082How do you know he''s here? 10082 How do you know that?"
10082How do you know that?
10082How do you know there are any papers missing?
10082How do you know? 10082 How do you know?
10082How far were you from the house?
10082How have you learnt this, Rolfe?
10082How is that vital?
10082How long did you stay watching the house?
10082How long was it after the prisoner entered the carriage drive that you went to the edge of the plantation and heard voices upstairs?
10082How old are you, Daphne?
10082How on earth did you find out?
10082How?
10082I believe you have a feeling of gratitude towards the prisoner?
10082I do n''t like that brand,she said;"have n''t you anything better?"
10082I hope you did n''t throw it away?
10082I suppose you like going to the Zoo better? 10082 I think you said he was in a hurry to get you out of the house, and told you not to come back?"
10082I wonder where that infernal ledge goes to?
10082If Birchill is not the murderer who is? 10082 If I tell you everything will you stop him?
10082In the exercise of your confidential duties did you sometimes see quarrelsome ladies off the premises?
10082In the murder?
10082In what part of the country is she?
10082In your evidence- in- chief you said nothing about Miss Fanning using threats against your master when you were showing her out?
10082Is Birchill still at this flat and is the girl still there?
10082Is he dead, sir?
10082Is it not possible for death to have taken place nineteen or twenty hours before you saw the body?
10082Is it not the same?
10082Is it not true that your late master frequently entertained women of doubtful character at Riversbrook?
10082Is n''t he our principal witness, and does n''t his statement fit in with all the facts we have been able to gather? 10082 Is n''t my learned friend going to call the prisoner?"
10082Is n''t this a dreadful thing, Hill?
10082Is that all the paper you have at your flat for writing purposes?
10082Is that the plan?
10082Is that you, Inspector Chippenfield?
10082Is that your photograph?
10082Is there no other way?
10082Is this it?
10082Is your name Frederick Birchill?
10082Is your name Hill?
10082It was light, Daphne? 10082 It was not the only one?"
10082Last night, sir?
10082May I have the revolver and the handkerchief?
10082Mrs. Emily Hill?
10082Mrs. Holymead had no connection with the crime?
10082Murdered?
10082No? 10082 Nobody at the judge''s place-- no taxi, or anything like that?"
10082None of your keys will open it, of course?
10082None?
10082Now, Rolfe, what is it?
10082Now, now, my man,said the porter haughtily,"what do you think you are doing here?
10082Now, tell me, Daphne, dear, when did your father come home?
10082Of Birchill?
10082Of course you can not say yet whether both bullets are out of the same revolver?
10082Of what use was Madame''s warning? 10082 Oh, what are we to do?
10082Oh, what is it, Henry?
10082Oh, you did?
10082On Hill?
10082On what other ground?
10082Once and for all, will you own up where you were on the night of the murder?
10082Perhaps you''ve seen these articles before?
10082Plainly?
10082Prisoner might have returned after you left?
10082Quarrels, sir?
10082Rolfe?
10082Ruled or unruled?
10082Scotland Yard-- is it not in Scotland? 10082 Scotland?
10082She did not use any?
10082She died of heart disease while on trial, did n''t she?
10082Sir Horace Fewbanks murdered? 10082 Sir Horace always locked his desk?"
10082So that''s the way you look at it?
10082So that''s the whole truth, is it?
10082So that''s your way of looking at it, eh, Rolfe?
10082So the servants have been talking, have they?
10082So we may take it that the quarrel between your late master and Miss Fanning was not the only quarrel of the kind which came under your notice?
10082So you attended the police- court proceedings?
10082So you''ve done very little about the case since Birchill was acquitted?
10082Stop him from what?
10082Suppose I went to the police and told them that Hill is the murderer?
10082Surely you are not going to charge him with the murder?
10082Surely you know that under the influence of wine some people become quarrelsome?
10082Surely, Your Honour, you''re not going to allow the cross- examination of this witness to be postponed?
10082Tell me what has happened? 10082 That he was alive when I left Riversbrook?"
10082The Riversbrook case? 10082 The whole truth?"
10082The_ lingerie_ shop in Oxford Street-- what do you call it-- Hobson''s?
10082Then how are you able to swear so positively as to his identity in the dark?
10082Then what did Birchill write on when he wanted to write a letter?
10082Then what made you swear that?
10082Then why did you tell me that he had just stepped out down the street?
10082Then why was she permitted to remain in court?
10082Then you are determined to hang Birchill?
10082Then you do n''t think there''s anything in Crewe''s points?
10082Then you think that the man who wrote this note knew of the murder but does n''t know who did it?
10082Then, as a matter of fact, you do n''t know where he is or when he''ll be back?
10082There was n''t much doing, was there?
10082There was no lady with Sir Horace when you left him that night when he returned from Scotland?
10082There was no sign anywhere of his having returned from Scotland?
10082They indulged in threats?
10082This police agent, did he come by himself?
10082This?
10082To find the missing glove? 10082 Up where?"
10082Wants to see Mr. Holymead, does he?
10082Was Father at home when you came home from the pictures?
10082Was Fred up there that night?
10082Was he a-- a relative of yours?
10082Was it because of this fear that you made out for him a plan of Riversbrook to assist him in the burglary?
10082Was n''t that the property of her French cousin, Mademoiselle Chiron?
10082Was that on your first visit to Miss Fanning''s flat in Westminster after the prisoner had sent her to Riversbrook to tell you he wanted to see you?
10082Well, Joe, what is it?
10082Well, Kemp, what do you want?
10082Well, did your late master''s nocturnal visitors ever become quarrelsome?
10082Well, does n''t that look as if she knew something about the crime?
10082Well, if you did n''t murder Sir Horace yourself when did you first hear that he had been murdered?
10082Well, is there nobody I can see?
10082Well, now, witness, you say you stayed ten minutes after Holymead left, and during that time Sir Horace opened the window and leaned out of it?
10082Well, what do you call this girl Fanning? 10082 Well,"he said,"what do you think of Flack?"
10082Were they angry voices?
10082Were you afraid of physical violence from him, or only that he would expose your past to the other servants?
10082What about my loss of time going home for it? 10082 What are these for?"
10082What are they?
10082What are we to do then?
10082What are you doing there?
10082What are you laughing at?
10082What became of it? 10082 What became of the letters?"
10082What case?
10082What did I tell you?
10082What did he say? 10082 What did he want, Gabrielle?"
10082What did she come to you for?
10082What did she want?
10082What did you do after that?
10082What did you do then?
10082What did you do with the one you found?
10082What did you say, sir?
10082What do you make of it?
10082What do you make of it?
10082What do you mean? 10082 What do you mean?"
10082What do you mean?
10082What do you say, Chippenfield?
10082What do you want me to do?
10082What do you want me to swear?
10082What do you want to go out there for?
10082What do you want, boy?
10082What do you wish to see me for?
10082What do you write your letters on, Miss Fanning?
10082What does it mean? 10082 What does this mean, Hawkins?"
10082What for, Rolfe?
10082What for?
10082What for?
10082What happened next?
10082What has it done?
10082What has kept you all this time?
10082What have you got to do with me?
10082What have you hidden? 10082 What in God''s name has brought you here?
10082What is it to me or you that Mr. Holymead should be publicly proved guilty of this terrible thing?
10082What is it, Rolfe?
10082What is it?
10082What is it?
10082What is this girl Fanning like?
10082What is your name, my dear?
10082What made you suspect Mrs. Holymead would take them?
10082What made you think so? 10082 What name did you say?"
10082What o''clock was it when you left Riversbrook on the 18th of August after your master''s return from Scotland?
10082What on earth made you do that?
10082What place was she stopping at when you heard from her last?
10082What say you: guilty or not guilty?
10082What sort of a lady, Joe?
10082What sort of a pocket- book?
10082What sort of a revolver was it? 10082 What time did you leave the house?"
10082What time was that, Daphne?
10082What time was this?
10082What was she doing there? 10082 What was the cause of the quarrel?"
10082What was the nature of these papers?
10082What were you doing between seven and seven- thirty?
10082What would you have done with the papers if you had found them?
10082What''s brought you over here?
10082What''s it to do with you, anyway? 10082 What''s that got to do with you?"
10082What''s the good of talking to police court beaks in a case that is bound to go to trial? 10082 When Birchill showed you the plan immediately after Hill''s departure, what impression did you get regarding it?"
10082When did they go: when did you find they were missing?
10082When did you make out this plan?
10082When did you see him last? 10082 When did you see them last?"
10082When he showed you the plan had the paper been folded?
10082When one of the main features of Hill''s story is proved to be false, how can you believe any of the rest? 10082 When was he murdered, sir?"
10082Where are they?
10082Where did he keep it?
10082Where did you get that?
10082Where does she ring you up from?
10082Where has she gone to?
10082Where to, ma''am?
10082Where to?
10082Where was this?
10082Where were you on the date of the murder?
10082Where?
10082Which of these accounts are we to believe?
10082Which one?
10082Who could have taken them? 10082 Who is he?
10082Who is working this case with you? 10082 Who murdered him?"
10082Who told Scotland Yard that?
10082Who told you that?
10082Who was she?
10082Why adopt such precautions as wearing gloves to write a note giving away this startling secret?
10082Why did n''t you tell Inspector Chippenfield about the papers and the secret drawer?
10082Why drag into the light my father''s conduct in order to make a day''s sensation for the newspapers? 10082 Why have you come here?
10082Why should I think that?
10082Why should she be when she had nothing to be afraid of?
10082Why should you have told me? 10082 Why, Mr. Crewe,"said Rolfe, with evident pleasure,"who''d have thought of seeing you?"
10082Why, how do you make out that?
10082Why, monsieur, what case should it be but that of which I have so often heard Madame speak? 10082 Why?"
10082Why?
10082Will you save him?
10082Will you tell me how you got on the track and all you have done? 10082 Wo n''t you let it all drop?"
10082Women of doubtful character?
10082Would n''t he be very expensive?
10082Would you find out for me, please, when the next train leaves Victoria for Horleydene?
10082Would you know the plan again if you saw it?
10082Yet you could n''t hear what they were saying?
10082You are Monsieur Crewe, the great detective-- is it not so?
10082You are a police agent? 10082 You are quite certain, Joe?"
10082You are quite sure as to the time?
10082You are quite sure of that? 10082 You are quite sure of that?"
10082You are still convinced that Birchill did it?
10082You are sure it was Sir Horace Fewbanks?
10082You are sure that Sir Horace''s dead body was not lying here?
10082You came here after dark, and let yourself in with a private key after you had been strictly ordered not to come near the place? 10082 You came here with the intention of committing perjury in order to get him off?"
10082You came here with the intention of doing him a good turn?
10082You came here with the intention of giving evidence that would get him off?
10082You did n''t know he was returning?
10082You did that every day while Sir Horace was away?
10082You do n''t expect me to believe that you told him you were an ex- convict? 10082 You do n''t expect to discover anything there this late in the day, do you?"
10082You do n''t really think I had anything to do with it, sir?
10082You do n''t think Mr. Holymead would like me to discuss his business with the likes of you? 10082 You do n''t, do you?"
10082You do not think Lethbridge would be a party to such tactics?
10082You do not think, then, that Kemp is merely committing perjury in order to get Holymead off?
10082You have found out who killed my father?
10082You just leave me alone, will you?
10082You knew Sir Horace Fewbanks?
10082You know what this means? 10082 You know what you are saying, Hill?"
10082You mean that he often left his desk open with important papers scattered about it?
10082You mean you were frightened to keep them in your possession after the judge was killed?
10082You saw him as plainly as you see me now?
10082You saw him come in?
10082You saw him distinctly?
10082You say that the corner was torn off when you wrenched the handkerchief from the dead man''s hold?
10082You swear it was the prisoner?
10082You think Sir Horace fired at his murderer-- fired first?
10082You think a woman murdered him?
10082You think he is hiding something?
10082You want me to swear that he was alive?
10082You wish to see Madame Holymead?
10082You''re a married man, Flack?
10082_ Parti?_ What mean you by_ parti_? 10082 _ Parti?_ What mean you by_ parti_?
10082''Are n''t you getting out here, sir?''
10082''Do you think I am drunk?''
10082''It is a cruel murder,''she said,''and who knows but it might be our turn next?''"
10082''This great judge, he has much money, is it not so?''
10082''What are we to do?''
10082''What do you want here?''
10082A London shop?"
10082About half- past ten, you said?"
10082Ai n''t your name Joe Leaver?"
10082And how did Hill behave when he got the message?
10082And how did you happen to be at the inquest at Hampstead?
10082And how would he get into the house?
10082And then what will happen?
10082Apart from all questions of professional procedure, is n''t there an obligation upon you to get at the truth?"
10082Are you a friend of Madame''s?"
10082Are you one of his sort?"
10082But Inspector Chippenfield, with a fierce stare, merely remarked:"And you consented?"
10082But at what stage did the visitor become conscious of the loss of his glove?
10082But before he could come to a decision on the point a feminine voice behind him said:"What is it, Trappon?"
10082But could Birchill afford to threaten a man who was under the protection of Sir Horace Fewbanks?
10082But if the burglar was such a cool hand as to stop to turn out the lights after the murder why did he not also stop to collect some valuables?
10082But it is a fact that you would like to do him a good turn?"
10082But were they her letters?
10082But what makes you talk about them looking me up?
10082But why, I ask?
10082But you are not letting it drop altogether, are you?
10082CHAPTER V"What is your name?"
10082CHAPTER X"And so you''ve had no luck, Rolfe?"
10082CHAPTER XII"Do you think Hill''s story is true?"
10082Can he not hear through the keyhole?"
10082Can not we bury the whole thing in forgetfulness?"
10082Can you catch the 12.40?"
10082Can you let me have a look at the original of that letter which was sent to Scotland Yard informing you of the murder?
10082Could Holymead have done his best for Birchill if he had believed that Birchill was the murderer of his lifelong friend?
10082Crewe?"
10082Crewe?"
10082Did he strike matches as he went out?"
10082Did he strike you as a man who would stand by the truth above all things, or a man who would lie persistently in order to save his own skin?
10082Did he want a plan of an empty house?
10082Did n''t Birchill tell Hill, just before he set out for Riversbrook on the night of the murder, that if Hill played him false he''d murder him?
10082Did n''t you, Flack?
10082Did you ever see it?
10082Did you like going with father the other day?"
10082Did you see it about the house after he left?"
10082Did you time it?"
10082Do n''t think we have met before, Rolfe, have we?"
10082Do you deny that he went up to Riversbrook that night?"
10082Do you go to school?"
10082Do you hear me?"
10082Do you know him?"
10082Do you know if he had a weakness for the ladies?"
10082Do you know?"
10082Do you mean stolen?"
10082Do you remember when you and Mrs. Holymead were leaving the court after the inquest that Mr. Holymead came up and spoke to you?
10082Do you think Sir Horace got in the first shot and then tried to fire again?
10082Do you think it is mysterious?"
10082Do you think that I-- that I know anything about the murder?"
10082Does not that prove conclusively that the murder was not committed by Birchill, that Sir Horace Fewbanks was dead when Birchill broke into the house?
10082Does that make it more credible?
10082Exposure of what?
10082Faithful?
10082For his sake, what better thing could I do than let his memory rest?"
10082For the reasons stated in her confession?
10082For what object?
10082Gentlemen, does a man commit a murder for a thing of that kind?
10082Had Sir Horace been shot while attempting to seize the intruder?
10082Had the murderer a companion with him when he broke into Riversbrook for the purpose of burglary?
10082Had they got hold of the right man-- the real murderer-- in Fred Birchill?
10082Has he come about--_that_?"
10082Has not Stork returned yet?"
10082Have you discovered anything fresh?"
10082Have you ever been over it carefully?
10082Have you ever seen him before?"
10082Have you forgotten how she tried to hoodwink us before?
10082Have you heard anything of a murder out your way?"
10082Have you made inquiries whether this is one of Sir Horace''s gloves?"
10082Have you therefore come to see Madame about the case?"
10082Have you, since the night of the murder, seen anything of Pierre?"
10082Have you?"
10082He had no money; how could he get away?"
10082He has gone, so why trouble?"
10082He told me to do so this night, saying as usual,''You understand, Hill?''
10082Hill looked at the card and exclaimed:"Mr. Holymead?
10082His master, Sir Horace Fewbanks, knew he had been in gaol, so what had he to fear from exposure?
10082His own guilty conscience and the long arm of the law?
10082Holymead?"
10082Holymead?"
10082Holymead?"
10082Holymead?"
10082How are you getting on with it?"
10082How dare you?"
10082How did you come to discover it?"
10082How did you manage it?"
10082How do you know he kept one?"
10082How do you know somebody has n''t followed you?"
10082How far are we from that library window, Chippenfield?"
10082How far was he prepared to go in carrying out that object?
10082How had Scotland Yard''s anonymous correspondent learned about the murder, and what were his motives in informing the police in the way he had done?
10082How long before he-- before he died?"
10082How long did Sir Horace live after being shot?
10082How long have you known it?"
10082How long will it take you to get up to the house?"
10082How many times did you go along there last night?"
10082How was he to know without authority from his superior officer that any of these people wanted to be admitted to Number One Court?
10082How would she have felt if she had run into Sir Horace?
10082I hope you do n''t mind?"
10082I must handle the stick-- you understand?
10082I suppose you''ll pay the taxi- fare for the run down from Hyde Park?"
10082I think those are the facts, Field?"
10082I would like to do my best, but I think if you gave me time-- Is there any great urgency?
10082If Birchill did n''t commit the murder, who did?
10082If he was killed after dark, who turned out the lights?"
10082If it was not her, who was it?
10082If she found the man dead, why did n''t she inform the police?
10082If the murder was committed late at night how came it that there were no lights in the empty house when the police discovered the body?
10082If, on the other hand, he was implicated in the crime, why had he informed the police at all?
10082In that case what was to prevent his turning off the lights before leaving the house instead of leaving them burning to attract attention?
10082Inspector Seldon turned to him and remarked severely:"Why did n''t you let me know that Sir Horace Fewbanks had returned from Scotland?"
10082Is Hill the murderer?
10082Is a man like Hill, who is placed in that position, likely to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
10082Is it Hill?"
10082Is it possible that woman is Mrs. H.?
10082Is n''t she in the case?
10082Is n''t that''Sunny Jim''?
10082Is not that so?"
10082Is not this the best thing to do?"
10082Is such a story reasonable or likely?
10082Is that Hampstead Police Station?"
10082Is that it?"
10082Is that the action of a guilty man?
10082Is the danger immediate?"
10082Is there anything in that plan to suggest that it was drawn by a man in a state of nervous terror?
10082It is yours, I think?"
10082It''s a tough job, ai n''t it, sir?"
10082Kemp?"
10082Lethbridge?"
10082May I ask a question, sir?"
10082Might not Birchill have a friend in His Majesty''s Stationery Office?
10082Mr. Walters waited, but there was no reply to the question, and he added,"You see what your perjured evidence has done for him?"
10082Now does that seem probable?
10082Now, as to this handkerchief: what is more likely than that Birchill had it in his pocket when he went out to Riversbrook on that fatal night?
10082Now, would you sooner tell me or tell the police?
10082Oh, Mabel, darling, for the sake of the past-- before I came on the scene to mar the lives of both of them-- will you save him?
10082On what did the case for the prosecution rest?
10082Rolfe?
10082She even smiled slightly-- a frank engaging smile, as she remarked:"And now, monsieur, any more questions?"
10082She regained command of herself with an effort, and whispered, rather than spoke, with twitching lips;"What does the presence of these men mean?"
10082Should he consult Crewe?
10082Should he disclose to Chippenfield Hill''s story of the missing letters?
10082Sir Horace knew all about Hill''s past, so why should he fear a threat of exposure?"
10082So what have we to do next, Joe?"
10082Stop it at once, do you understand?
10082Such a threat was not made, but why should Hill say it was made?
10082Surely, you do n''t want any better explanation of the murder than a quarrel between her and Sir Horace over this man Birchill?"
10082That you, Seldon?
10082The question I want to solve is, did it belong to Sir Horace, or to some one who visited him on the night he was murdered?
10082Then he turned to Evans and asked,"Are you sure you saw Hill in your bar at three a. m.?
10082Then, fixing his fiercest stare on the girl, he remarked abruptly:"Where''s Birchill?"
10082There is no possibility of a mistake?"
10082To see Crewe?"
10082Was Sir Horace her lover?
10082Was Sir Horace killed before dusk-- before the lights were turned on?
10082Was Sir Horace murdered in his own house?
10082Was he connected with the crime?
10082Was he murdered in his own house?"
10082Was it impossible that the witness Fanning had a friend in that Office, or in one of the Government Departments to which the paper was supplied?
10082Was it likely that a woman, knowing her lover''s life was at stake, would come here and speak the truth, if she knew the truth would hang him?
10082Was it possible that Hill had gone to his late master''s residence in defiance of the orders of the police?
10082Was n''t it just about ten o''clock?"
10082Was not that a natural impulse for a high- minded man?
10082Was the ink fresh?"
10082Were n''t you early?
10082Were you up at the court?"
10082What about?"
10082What answer have you got to that, witness?"
10082What became of it?"
10082What do you men-- so clumsy-- know of the delicate feelings of a lady like Madame Holymead?
10082What do you say, Taylor?
10082What do you suppose I''m doing it for?
10082What do you think Hill had come for?
10082What do you want to see him for?"
10082What does Hill''s evidence against the prisoner amount to?
10082What does he want?"
10082What does it matter?
10082What grudge had Birchill against Sir Horace Fewbanks?
10082What had Hill to fear, from the threats of a man like Birchill, when he was living under Sir Horace Fewbanks''s protection?
10082What has that to do with it?
10082What have they found out?"
10082What is his name-- Rudolf?"
10082What is it that I can do for you?
10082What is more likely than that Sir Horace heard the burglar in the house, crept upon him, and then tried to capture him?
10082What is the best thing to do?
10082What is the difference?"
10082What is the inevitable inference?
10082What is your real name?"
10082What made you a guardian, I''d like to know?"
10082What makes you say that?"
10082What more could they expect us to prove?
10082What more likely than such a man, threatened as he describes, should turn to his master who had shielded him and trusted him?"
10082What mystery was there in a man being fully dressed in his own house at midnight?
10082What place had I to keep them safe from prying eyes?
10082What reliance could they place on the evidence of Fanning?
10082What shall I tell her when next she rings the telephone?
10082What time did he come home, to begin with?"
10082What time did he leave here that night?"
10082What was he like?"
10082What was that noise which sounded so strangely familiar to his ears?
10082What was to prevent the prisoner turning off the lights in order to convey the impression that the crime had been committed in daylight?
10082What were these secret papers?
10082What''s brought you over here?
10082What''s he frightened of?
10082What''s this boy like?"
10082When did she tell you?"
10082When did you see him last?"
10082Where are you off to?"
10082Where did you say the library was?"
10082Where is it?"
10082Whereabouts in the room was he?"
10082Which did you like best-- the Zoo or the pictures?"
10082Which story was the more probable?
10082Who are you?"
10082Who had access to the room?"
10082Who told you?
10082Who was on that beat last night?"
10082Whom have you your eye on now as the right man?"
10082Why are they waiting?"
10082Why did he want Birchill to carry out the burglary?
10082Why did he want Hill''s assistance to burgle a practically unprotected house?
10082Why did n''t she come to us?"
10082Why did n''t you give these keys up with the others to Inspector Chippenfield?"
10082Why did you remove them?"
10082Why not?
10082Why should n''t you have it?
10082Why should they get into me-- why should they look me up?
10082Why was information about the murder sent to Scotland Yard, and why was it sent in a disguised way?
10082Will you buy mine for five shillings, or shall I buy yours?"
10082Will you save him?"
10082Would Birchill have told Hill that, if he''d committed the murder?"
10082Would Birchill pit himself against Sir Horace?
10082Would he have trusted himself to do his best?
10082Would n''t it have been more to his interest to leave the dead man''s body undiscovered in the empty house and bolt from the country?
10082Would they arrest her with their blunders?
10082Would you do so if you were told who the murderer was-- I mean he who did really kill the great judge?"
10082You are quite sure it was he?"
10082You are quite sure you were able to see and hear all this from where you stood?"
10082You come from Scotland?
10082You could see?"
10082You do n''t suppose that after coming over here to see you that I can be deceived by such talk?"
10082You do n''t think I did it?
10082You have the audacity to admit you have done this?"
10082You looked round carefully?"
10082You remember his case?"
10082You understand?"
10082You will save Madame Holymead from being persecuted by these police agents?"
10082You would say if I have any proofs?
10082You''ve got some money saved up, have n''t you?"
10082_ Ma foi!_ What have you been doing to yourself?
10082_ Que voulez- vous?_ They are but small in brains.
10082do n''t you, Peter?
10082he asked:"Have you been trying to fire off the revolver?"
10082said Birchill"Anything else?"
17272A perfectly reasonable decision,he agreed, without the slightest change of expression,"but am I really to be blamed for this unfortunate incident?
17272Am I to look upon you as a traitor?
17272Am I to speak to you?
17272An interesting interview?
17272And Europe?
17272And I?
17272And how does that affect the matter?
17272And if they did,he asked quickly,"is n''t it possible that their rule over the people might be better than the rule of this stubborn generation?"
17272And now the desire for them has all gone,she asked,"have n''t you any personal hopes or dreams in connection with life?
17272And now-- what now?
17272And the end of it?
17272And they let you go-- those Americans?
17272And what about us?
17272And what have you got to say about it?
17272And what is the real philosophy of living?
17272And what is your uncle''s point of view?
17272And what was that? 17272 And why is it impossible?"
17272And why is that? 17272 And why not for you?"
17272And why?
17272And you, Mr. Culvain,he enquired,"you represent no particular industry, I believe?
17272And you?
17272And you?
17272And your object,Maraton added,"is to benefit through our loss of trade?"
17272And, by God, why have n''t I?
17272Anonymous?
17272Any letters of consequence?
17272Anything else?
17272Are any meals being served in the restaurant?
17272Are n''t we for the people? 17272 Are n''t you exaggerating that sentiment just a little?"
17272Are n''t you fat now?
17272Are there any terms at all connected with this little subscription?
17272Are there no police left?
17272Are you Henry Selingman,he enquired--"I mean the fellow who has been writing about Maraton?"
17272Are you Maraton?
17272Are you afraid of that?
17272Are you an Englishman?
17272Are you one of those soft- hearted fools who go about doing this sort of thing?
17272Are you satisfied?
17272Are you serious, sir?
17272Are you speaking of Maxendorf?
17272Are you that man?
17272Aye, why not?
17272Been spending the week- end with Foley, have n''t you?
17272But do you do nothing but work?
17272But do you never speak there?
17272But how are we to get into London?
17272But is n''t that a little unreasonable?
17272But surely,Elisabeth protested,"you make some excuse for those who have really no opportunity for finding out?
17272But then politicians are rather like that, are n''t they? 17272 But what was it first inspired you with this-- well, would n''t you call it a passion-- for championing the cause of the people?"
17272But you are an Englishman, are you not?
17272But you?
17272By- the- bye, Aaron, is n''t there a meeting to- night at the Clarion?
17272By- the- bye, is it true that Dale and all of them are coming up to- night?
17272Ca n''t you look a little way into the future?
17272Ca n''t you see why? 17272 Ca n''t you see,"Aaron continued irritably,"that the coming of Maraton has changed many things?
17272Ca n''t you see,Maraton continued,"that Society can easily deal with one strike at a time?
17272Can not I help you towards the further accomplishment of your duty, then?
17272Come back with me now, wo n''t you?
17272Come to support us, sir, I hope?
17272Come, do I understand you properly? 17272 Confess,"he said,"that there are some things about me and my surroundings which have surprised you?"
17272Could any one,he demanded,"stand in the position I stand in to- day and not have doubts?"
17272Declined without conditions?
17272Did I say that?
17272Did n''t I see something yesterday about Lady Elisabeth Landon having won the scratch prize at Ranelagh at a ladies''golf meeting?
17272Did you hear that?
17272Did you send for a doctor?
17272Do n''t you ever think of yourself,she asked,"what your own life is going to be?
17272Do n''t you think that it may lead to disappointment?
17272Do tell me,she asked,"you are the Miss Thurnbrein who has written so much upon woman labour, are n''t you?"
17272Do you find that after being so plaguey independent you need our help after all? 17272 Do you hear-- you-- Maraton?"
17272Do you imagine,she demanded, her voice trembling,"that you will be permitted to repeat in this country your American exploits?"
17272Do you mean,Mr. Foley asked,"that you have no impulse of affection for your own country?"
17272Do you seriously believe, Mr. Foley,he asked in an undertone,"in the possibility, in the imminent possibility of war?"
17272Do you suppose the people will listen to you preaching peace and contentment? 17272 Do you take life seriously, Lady Elisabeth?"
17272Do you think that you are discreet in the sense of being wise? 17272 Do you think that you are?"
17272Do you want a vote?
17272Does one think now of the sea of blood through which France once purged herself? 17272 Faint- hearted?"
17272For the people of the world,Maraton persisted slowly--"for humanity?
17272Got another job, eh?
17272Granted that I had the power, do you think that I had the right to stir up a civil war here in the face of the help I was promised for our people?
17272Has anything happened?
17272Have n''t been overworking, I hope?
17272Have n''t my Government done their best to prove it?
17272Have n''t you a single gleam of patriotism?
17272Have n''t you been my girl for six years before he came? 17272 Have n''t you discovered it?"
17272Have you any objection,Maraton asked,"to the people''s cause being represented in the Cabinet?"
17272Have you finished?
17272Have you finished?
17272Have you no hobbies?
17272Have you told her?
17272He is not up yet, of course, but might we come in and wait?
17272He makes love to you, eh? 17272 He spoke of the great things?"
17272He will keep to it, you think? 17272 Help?
17272How are the accounts lasting out?
17272How are they in the north?
17272How are you going to get it back, eh? 17272 How are you going to get it?"
17272How can you fire their blood if there are doubts in your heart? 17272 How can you look at her, hear her speak, watch her, without wanting to marry her?
17272How did you come to see the truth-- to know that you had been misled by Maxendorf?
17272How do you account for it?
17272How long will he be?
17272How long will those fellows be?
17272However, you came here to be entertained, did n''t you? 17272 I am content to obey my guide,"he remarked,"but why this abrupt flight?"
17272I belong to a Working Man''s Club and what we ca n''t see is what''s the bally use of a job like this? 17272 I hope there was nothing disturbing in your letters?"
17272I hope you approve?
17272I may approach you again,Mr. Beldeman asked,"if circumstances should change?
17272I often wonder,she went on,"is there nothing else in your life at all except this passionate altruism?
17272I want to know,he went on obstinately,"why you have n''t been to work lately?"
17272I wish,she said,"that you would tell me more about yourself-- what you did in America, what your life has been?
17272I?
17272If I am a Labour man,Maraton said,"why did you put up a candidate to oppose me at Nottingham?"
17272If there is,Maraton asked easily,"to whom am I responsible?"
17272In other words,she laughed,"you are discontented because you have been successful?"
17272In what it said about me?
17272In what respect am I different?
17272Including the railways?
17272Indeed? 17272 Is everything going well, Aaron?"
17272Is he to be bought?
17272Is it a confession?
17272Is it a maze?
17272Is it an arrangement with Mr. Foley that you''re speaking of?
17272Is it true,he asked,"that Boulding''s wo n''t pay the advance?--that they are going to close the doors to- morrow if we insist upon it?"
17272Is it wise?
17272Is it you who speak,Maxendorf asked grimly,"or is this another man-- a sophist living in the shadow of Maraton''s fame?
17272Is it?
17272Is n''t it your theory,she whispered,"to destroy for the sake of the future?
17272Is that all?
17272Is that eleven o''clock?
17272Is that for me?
17272Is the country at war?
17272Is there wine in the place?
17272Is this true?
17272It is to threaten me that you have come?
17272Jew or Christian-- what does it matter?
17272Just another question, Mr. Maraton: Why have you kept this secret from us?
17272Look here, young man,Peter Dale expostulated,"what''s it all about?
17272Man, ca n''t you see the glory of it?
17272Manchester?
17272Miss Thurnbrein,Maraton begged,"will you see Mr. Foley and Lady Elisabeth out?
17272Miss Thurnbrein,he said,"can I have a word with you?"
17272Mr. Maraton,he enquired,"are you a bad- tempered man?"
17272Mr. Maraton,he enquired,"are you an Englishman?"
17272Mr. Maraton,she begged,"please will you promise that before you go away, you will talk to me again for a few minutes?"
17272My dear Catharine,he asked, a little reprovingly,"was it necessary to have such a crowd here-- at any rate until after Monday?
17272My friends,he protested,"why do we bandy words like this?
17272Need we discuss these things, Lady Elisabeth?
17272Need you go into that gloomy chamber again, my friend?
17272No fresh trouble?
17272Not that awful man Maraton?
17272Now how will you come? 17272 Over there?"
17272Pretty close fit, was n''t it?
17272Say, what''s wrong with you, Freddy? 17272 Schemes of friendship or of enmity?"
17272Shall I dare to argue with you, I wonder?
17272Shall I go?
17272Shall I say a sense of the fitness of things?
17272Since when,he asked,"have I been the proud possessor of two secretaries?"
17272Slap up, ai n''t it? 17272 So Foley''s been getting at you, has he?"
17272So long as it is my conviction, why not proclaim it? 17272 So you would hear my little story?"
17272So you''re looking after Aaron, are you?
17272Supposing there were still a way by which even this present generation could reap the benefit? 17272 Tell me about Ernshaw?"
17272Tell me about to- night?
17272Tell me about your wonderful journey north?
17272Tell me about yours?
17272Tell me about yourself?
17272Tell me honestly, Aaron,she asked presently,"what do you think of it all?--of him-- of his methods?
17272Tell me what it is?
17272Tell me what you are doing here?
17272Tell me what you see there?
17272Tell me why?
17272Tell me?
17272That''s all very well,Maraton remarked, a little grimly,"but where do I come in?
17272The Houses of Parliament, eh? 17272 Their own fault, eh?"
17272Then are you sure that it is your star?
17272They are no use to me,he declared,"unless they''re political?"
17272They did not quarrel?
17272They do not understand what?
17272They have gone?
17272They were friends? 17272 Those men who were murdered in Chicago, murdered at your instigation because they tried to break the strike-- what of them?"
17272Thought it was some one else, eh?
17272To gloat over your work?
17272Too beautiful? 17272 War or peace, Mr. Maraton?
17272We are strangers, I believe?
17272Well,she asked,"have you converted Sir William?"
17272Well?
17272Well?
17272Well?
17272Were you satisfied with it?
17272What about Dale and his friends?
17272What about the mob?
17272What about the potteries?
17272What about this strike?
17272What am I, man,Selingman retorted, striking himself on the chest,"but a humanitarian?
17272What are you bothering about?
17272What can I do for you?
17272What could I do?
17272What could they do but vote for you, with Manchester staring them in the face?
17272What did he want?
17272What do they say on the Continent about his coming?
17272What do you expect?
17272What do you mean?
17272What do you mean?
17272What do you want with me, Maraton?
17272What do you want, boy?
17272What do you want?
17272What does it matter? 17272 What does it matter?
17272What else is there but civil war?
17272What has he to do with it?
17272What have you to gain by this?
17272What have you to hope for but legislation?
17272What help do you make of women? 17272 What is an anarchist?"
17272What is he made of, that man?
17272What is it, anyway?
17272What is it?
17272What is my share? 17272 What is that?"
17272What is the foreign news?
17272What is the use?
17272What is there that is hidden from the eye of genius?
17272What is your answer, I wonder, to the oft quoted question? 17272 What matter?"
17272What shall I order?
17272What shall I say to them?
17272What sort of a Socialist is a man with five thousand a year who keeps his pockets tightly buttoned up, I should like to know?
17272What sort of an Englishman does he call himself, I wonder? 17272 What was I to do?"
17272What will the end of it be?
17272What''s going on here?
17272What''s it all about?
17272What''s the good of them? 17272 What, in God''s name, has happened, man?"
17272What, the anarchist fellow?
17272What, the tailoress?
17272When do you go to Sheffield?
17272When you speak of fusion,Maraton asked,"you mean conquest?"
17272Where am I going to sit?
17272Where are we going?
17272Where is Maxendorf?
17272Where was I? 17272 Who can tell?
17272Who can tell?
17272Who is that strange- looking person?
17272Who knows that the millennium would be so long delayed?
17272Who''s that?
17272Why are you here?
17272Why did n''t you go out?
17272Why do n''t you marry her yourself?
17272Why do you ask for it?
17272Why do you mention his name?
17272Why do you worship Maraton? 17272 Why have you come to me?"
17272Why not come to me?
17272Why not? 17272 Why not?
17272Why not?
17272Why not?
17272Why not?
17272Why not?
17272Why not?
17272Why should I subscribe to your Party funds?
17272Why should a man, with great things in his brain, waste a moment in thinking of women?
17272Why should he?
17272Why should you? 17272 Why?"
17272Why?
17272Will their coming make any real difference?
17272Will you give me until to- morrow to think it over?
17272Will you go to the Clarion? 17272 Will you put me in a cab?"
17272Will you smoke, Mr. Maraton, or drink anything?
17272With regard to me?
17272Would n''t that rather rest with you?
17272Yet what does that matter? 17272 You are going to break away?"
17272You are still working at the tailoring?
17272You believe that Foley will keep his word?
17272You came alone?
17272You can dare to admit that here-- to me?
17272You could n''t manage to walk in with me, I suppose? 17272 You do n''t mean-- that he is a gentleman?"
17272You do n''t want to buy me? 17272 You do not know many people here?"
17272You have heard?
17272You have it with you?
17272You here? 17272 You know that they sprang a Labour candidate upon me at the last moment?
17272You know? 17272 You mean it?"
17272You mean that you''re breaking away from us?
17272You mean?
17272You permit?
17272You remember who I am, Mr. Maraton? 17272 You think, perhaps, that I should not be permitted here at all as a guest?"
17272You were against it, were you not?
17272You will forgive me?
17272You will let me help?
17272You will not even try to tell me, then?
17272You will not let yourself be discouraged?
17272You will not-- you will not let them call you a deserter? 17272 You''d like her to protect you, would you?"
17272You''re a Labour man, are n''t you?
17272You''re living here-- under this roof?
17272You''re secretary of the Women''s Guild, are n''t you? 17272 You''ve no objection, I hope?"
17272You? 17272 You?
17272You?
17272Your name and address, please?
17272''Are you not,''he cried,''the representatives of the people?''
17272--do you think that she would not put her hand in mine?
17272A matter of courage?"
17272A sense of duty brought you, perhaps?"
17272A thousand, say?
17272Am I doing wrong if I go to her and give her money for a night''s lodging?"
17272Am I improving?"
17272American Review you declared that a war and conquest were the inevitable prelude of social reform in this country?"
17272And as for your fifty- nine thousand, Borden, what about our hundred and thirty thousand?
17272And then for yourself--""For myself,"he interrupted,"for myself-- what?"
17272And there''s a young woman--""A what?"
17272And what of the rest of the evening?
17272And yet, even with this contingency in view, I want you to ask yourselves: What have the people to lose?
17272And yet, with the end of the struggle, with the end of the fierce fighting, comes something-- what is it?--disappointment?
17272Answer me honestly-- do you see any change in me?"
17272Are there more laws to be made-- more speeches?"
17272Are they, then, to suffer as you have suffered?"
17272Are you for the strike?"
17272Are you going in to supper?"
17272Are you going to marry me or are you not?"
17272Are you going to tell them that it is for posterity they must strike?
17272Are you great enough, Maraton, to listen to me, I wonder?
17272Are you never going to amuse yourself, to take holiday, to draw some of the outside things into your scheme of being?"
17272Are you one of us or are n''t you?"
17272Are you still in employment?"
17272Are you sure that to- day you have not put on the poisoned spectacles?
17272Are you sure that you are using your gifts for the best purpose, for yourself-- and other people?"
17272Are you that man?"
17272As for you, Selingman,"Maraton went on, as they turned back towards New Oxford Street,"why do you stay here?
17272As to my house, is it really mysterious, I wonder?
17272Before I go, perhaps you will give me ten minutes more to discuss them?"
17272Bollington- Watts?"
17272But Lady Elisabeth--?
17272But are you sure about the others-- Ernshaw and his Union men?
17272But are you sure you wo n''t go on the platform, sir?"
17272But do n''t you think for his first few days in England it would be better to leave him alone, so far as I am concerned?"
17272But tell me-- we have both agreed to be frank-- why have you changed your attitude towards me so completely?
17272But why should I?
17272But will she go?
17272But with so many objects in common, it is surely possible for us to be friends?"
17272But you, Mr. Maraton-- are you really the man who mur-- who was associated with all that trouble in Chicago?"
17272By the bye, have you ever met Selingman?"
17272CHAPTER V But were they free, after all, these thoughts of hers?
17272Ca n''t you bear to strike a blow for the great things?
17272Ca n''t you come down and talk?"
17272Ca n''t you see what it is that I am aiming at?
17272Ca n''t you see, Maraton-- can''t you see, my prophet who gropes in the darkness, that I am showing you the only way?"
17272Can you sit at table with these people and wear their clothes, and not feel like a hypocrite?"
17272Come, what are you afraid of?
17272Could he himself pass out of life with the memory of it all in his mind, and feel that his life''s work had been good?
17272Could n''t you just drop in for an hour?
17272Dare you?"
17272Did he mean it all, do you think?"
17272Did n''t you hear how they talked to him at Manchester?"
17272Did you read Foley''s speech?"
17272Did you think they had any?
17272Did you think you could draw a single spark of fire out of dull pap like that?
17272Do n''t you ever look a little way beyond the actual wants of your own constituents?
17272Do n''t you ever peer over the edge and realise that the real cause of the people is no local matter?
17272Do n''t you know in your heart that you''ve done what''s best?"
17272Do n''t you know that it is because they have n''t heard the word-- the one great word?
17272Do n''t you know the end of these spasmodic reforms?
17272Do n''t you yourself feel that you have done the right thing?"
17272Do they know what it is to go hungry, I wonder?
17272Do they seem slow to you, our methods, David Ross?
17272Do you believe that you are justified?"
17272Do you believe, Mr. Maraton, that a war would hurt your own people?"
17272Do you greatly care?
17272Do you hear that?"
17272Do you know that your strongest allies were Mr. Peter Dale and his men?"
17272Do you know what Boulding''s put on one side for distribution to their shareholders last year?--what they put to their reserve fund?
17272Do you know what they are saying?"
17272Do you know why Peter Dale was late here this afternoon?
17272Do you know,"he went on, turning towards her,"that I have scarcely seen anything of you since Manchester?"
17272Do you mean to tell them this?"
17272Do you never look forward into the future?
17272Do you think he''s for marrying a girl who works for her bread?
17272Do you think he''s one of our sort?
17272Do you think that she would come and see me, or let me come and see her?
17272Do you want any papers?"
17272Does he look strong enough for the work?"
17272Foley?"
17272Foley?"
17272Foley?"
17272For a man like Maraton, what does it matter?
17272For what?
17272Freddy!--why, Freddy, what''s the matter?"
17272From whom would come the mammoth war indemnity we should have to pay?"
17272Give me your name and address, please, at once, the cost price of your car, and how long it has been in your possession?"
17272Grant me this, at least; that it is possible to reach the end at which you are striving, by milder means?"
17272Graveling?"
17272Half- a- crown a week extra, and a minimum wage-- what more do you want?
17272Has Peter Dale been here?"
17272Have n''t they a right to their lives?
17272Have n''t you ever any doubts?"
17272Have you a home, young man?"
17272Have you any amusements or have you been working all the time?"
17272Have you been trying to get at their brains, Maraton?
17272Have you no personal ambitions or hopes?"
17272Have you read my''Appreciation''in the_ Oracle?_""I have,"Maraton admitted, smiling.
17272Have you seen Maxendorf to- night?"
17272Have you seen him, Aaron?
17272Have you seen the papers?"
17272He''s stopped the railways and the coal, and even you can tell what that means, I suppose, sir?
17272He, too, is a theorist, is n''t he?
17272How do I do it?
17272How do you expect to make a living, fiddling about here all day with pencil and paper, and talking Socialist rot at night?
17272How have you been spending your time?
17272How many are there of you?
17272How many more letters, Aaron?"
17272How''s Richard?"
17272I go to fetch it now, eh?"
17272I have n''t spoken a single selfish word, have I?
17272I hear you speak, perhaps?
17272I may talk to you now really from my heart, may n''t I?"
17272I presume I shall see you again one day before the month is up?"
17272I suppose there is no chance of his having slipped in without our having noticed him?"
17272I wonder why?
17272I''ll ask you, Mr. Maraton, to explain to us just what you meant down at the Clarion the other night?
17272If I acceded to all the others, what would your position be?
17272If I keep your money, do you know what I shall do with it?
17272In England there is nothing of the sort, eh?"
17272In your younger life, for instance, were n''t there ever any sports or occupations that you cared for?"
17272Is he behind?"
17272Is he strong?
17272Is it a promise?
17272Is it assassination, or anything of that sort, you''re talking about?"
17272Is it because you are an ambassador that they must house you so splendidly?"
17272Is it conversion, bribery, or poison that you have in your thoughts?"
17272Is it in this way that the freedom of a country can be gained?
17272Is it worth while to drag down the pillars, to bring so much misery into the world for the sake of a dream?"
17272Is n''t it better to release her slowly and gradually, than to destroy her altogether by trying more violent means?"
17272Is n''t it great to save what is, rather than to destroy for the sake of those who have neither toiled nor suffered?
17272Is n''t that something to the good?
17272Is n''t that what we''re in Parliament for?
17272Is n''t that why we are called Labour Members?"
17272Is n''t there anything you look forward to or desire for yourself?"
17272Is one responsible for their birth and instincts?
17272Is she going to stop here?
17272Is that agreeable to everybody?"
17272Is that possible?"
17272Is that so really?"
17272Is that what it is?"
17272Is the sword sheathed?"
17272Is there any difference in your mind, Maxendorf, between the people of one country and the people of another?"
17272Is there any justice in the world, I wonder?
17272Is there anything of the truth, anything of the great compelling truth in this piecemeal legislation?
17272Is there nothing I can do?"
17272Is your country great enough, Maxendorf, to follow where your finger points?
17272It does n''t really matter, does it?
17272It is easy enough to play chess, but when the pawns are human lives, who would not hesitate?"
17272It is engrossing, is n''t it?
17272It is on Monday you go to Manchester, is n''t it?"
17272It was because you went north that it was ended?"
17272It was because-- shall I tell you?"
17272It''s a very natural feminine impulse, is n''t it?
17272It''s co- operation over again, you say?
17272Just to continue the dull, hopeless struggle-- to fight without hope of reward, to fight with oneself as well as with the world?
17272Like a royal suite, eh?"
17272Maraton asked, a little abruptly--"your work?
17272Maraton is here?"
17272Maraton, where shall I find you to- night?"
17272Maraton?"
17272Maraton?"
17272Maraton?"
17272Maraton?"
17272Maraton?"
17272Maraton?"
17272Maraton?"
17272May I ask whether you have conferred with your friends about the matter?"
17272Men or women, Jews or Christians, infidels or believers-- what does it matter?
17272Miss Julia, do you know where I shall go when I leave here?
17272Mr. Foley has n''t been looking for me, has he?
17272Mr. Maraton, grant, will you not, that I am a man of some experience?
17272Mr. Maraton, have you been a great traveller?"
17272Mr. Maraton, you, of course, are in favour of Universal Manhood Suffrage?"
17272Name your terms?"
17272Never mind, what did we call about, Elisabeth?"
17272No one is the worse off for hearing every point of view, is he?
17272No?
17272No?
17272No?
17272Now shall we go back into the gardens or into the drawing- room?
17272Now what''s this business about a universal strike?"
17272Now where does this universal strike come in?"
17272Of what use would you be?
17272One needs a will, perhaps, but then, what is life without will?
17272Only an hour ago, my brother comes to me and tells me that I am to send Elisabeth in to dinner to- night with-- with whom do you think?"
17272Only it is a little late for a visit, is n''t it?
17272Or shall I, for a change, be silent and let you talk?
17272Or what of the river?
17272Or, better still, if you could dine?
17272Perhaps what?"
17272Piecemeal legislation-- what can it do?"
17272Shall I rob you, my friend?"
17272Shall we go down Birdcage Walk, or if you are in a hurry, perhaps you would prefer a taxi?"
17272Shall we now proceed to the subject of our discussion?"
17272Shall we sit at his feet?"
17272Shall you speak?"
17272Since then, is it my fancy-- since you came back from Manchester-- are you a little disappointed''with life?
17272Sit down, wo n''t you?
17272So you wo n''t come?
17272Surely it must be good for one to be surrounded by inspiring things?"
17272Surely you must feel that everything has gone your way since you came to England?"
17272Tell me about Sheffield?
17272Tell me about yourself a little, wo n''t you?
17272Tell me about yourself?
17272Tell me now what is going to happen?"
17272Tell me quickly, what is he like?"
17272Tell me what he is like, Julia?
17272Tell me what he looks like?
17272Tell me what is in your mind?"
17272Tell me what it is-- at once?"
17272Tell me where this house of his is?
17272Tell me, is it a personal bribe you have brought?"
17272Tell me, on behalf of the people, Mr. Maraton, what is it that you want?
17272The approach of a crisis had driven their thoughts into one narrow focus: what would it mean for them?
17272The figures in there are real enough, are n''t they?
17272The next is, where are you going to sit in the House?"
17272Then I will tell him how you have longed for his coming, and perhaps--""Perhaps what?"
17272Then what if the Germans get over here?
17272They stick at it all right, do n''t they?
17272They took to one another?"
17272This time you believe that he has made up his mind?"
17272To- day is Friday, is n''t it?
17272Unless I myself am at my best, what have I to give the world?
17272Until then, what is it you want?
17272Was he indeed so small, so insignificant?
17272Was n''t it you who, in one of your speeches, pointed out that a war in your country would be welcome?
17272Was the man indeed right, his philosophy sound?
17272Was the moment propitious for a blow on behalf of their rights?
17272Was there indeed wisdom in the loosening of the bonds?
17272Was this indeed to be the disappointment of her life?
17272We are all coming with you, are n''t we?
17272We ca n''t divide our lives, can we?
17272Were you at the Ritz Hotel one night about two months ago, with the ambassador of a foreign a country?"
17272What a sacrifice?
17272What about all the rest of us?
17272What about the coal?"
17272What about your British Empire then?"
17272What about your responsibilities to the present one?
17272What are you doing, man?"
17272What are you made of?"
17272What chance have you under present conditions?
17272What chance was there?
17272What concern have you for other things save only for the welfare of the people?"
17272What did I care?
17272What did one live for, after all?
17272What did you expect from them?
17272What difference can it make?
17272What do you know of him?"
17272What do you know or care about the people?
17272What do you say?
17272What do you suppose, in the course of three or four generations, produces men of different mental and physical calibre?
17272What do you think of his commission on your Manchester strike?"
17272What do you think of that, Julia?"
17272What do you think of your Labour Members, honestly, Aaron?
17272What do you want from us?
17272What do you want to do, then?"
17272What do you want?"
17272What do you want?"
17272What does it matter that you can not hear their spoken voices?
17272What does it matter?
17272What does it matter?
17272What does it matter?
17272What does it matter?
17272What good do you suppose could come of this?
17272What has my religion done for me?
17272What have you promised them in return?
17272What if he should be wrong?
17272What if he should bring misery and suffering upon millions upon millions, for the sake of a generation which might never be born?
17272What instinct, he wondered, had led her to place her finger upon the one poison spot in his thoughts?
17272What is your opinion?"
17272What matter if there are troubles outside?
17272What more can you ask for?
17272What more can you do for the people than fight for them side by side with me?"
17272What of the omelette, I wonder?
17272What shall I say?"
17272What should you say to me, my friend Maraton, if I were indeed to rob you of her?
17272What time is the meeting?"
17272What was there left?
17272What will it amount to?
17272What words of his could take them into the further land?
17272What would she say, he wondered?
17272What would they say here in Manchester, expecting fire and thunder from his lips and finding him hold out the olive branch?
17272What would they say themselves, do you think?
17272What''s England, or France, or any other country in the world, by the side of humanity?
17272What''s that to make a man like you depressed?
17272What''s the matter with your doing the same?"
17272What''s to become of us, I''d like to know, with a revolution in the country?"
17272What''s wrong with you, man?
17272Where is Aaron?"
17272Where is the first move?"
17272Where was it one read of footsteps that sounded amongst the hills like footsteps upon wool?
17272Where, in your opinion, ought I to sit?"
17272Which is it to be?
17272Which of you will talk the more, I wonder?
17272Who are you?"
17272Who can tell the thoughts which his brain has conceived?
17272Who gives us a mandate to sweep them away for the sake of the unborn?"
17272Who is faint- hearted?
17272Who would listen to you?
17272Who''s going to feed the people?
17272Who''s going to keep them from pillaging and rioting?"
17272Why are people so noisy nowadays, I wonder?"
17272Why are you so interested in my nationality?"
17272Why can I not get up and put my arm around your waist and whisper in your ear as we float round and round in a waltz?
17272Why did n''t you do it?"
17272Why do n''t you fall in love with her, Maraton?
17272Why do n''t you send your poor little secretary out for a walk?
17272Why is it that to- night you have awakened?
17272Why not before?
17272Why not marry, Maraton?
17272Why not you?
17272Why not?
17272Why not?"
17272Why should we judge?
17272Why to- night?
17272Why wo n''t you come down with me?"
17272Why?
17272Why?
17272Why?
17272Will you come this way?"
17272Will you come?"
17272Will you forgive me if I make you no answer at all to- night?
17272Will you lie down and rest for a time here?"
17272Will you treat the prick of a pin like a mortal wound?
17272With her splendid womanhood, her intense consciousness of life, how was it possible for her to escape?
17272Wo n''t you come and see me one afternoon-- any afternoon-- and tell me all about it?
17272Wo n''t you sit down, and may I not order some refreshment for you?
17272Would he, like those others, feel the inertia of it, the slow decay of his ambitions, the fatal tendency towards compromise?
17272Would one in a hundred be content to sacrifice himself for a principle?"
17272Would she think that he had sold his soul if he chose the more peaceful way?
17272Would the people still believe in him when the blow fell?
17272Yet what was I to do?
17272Yet what was he?
17272You and I may believe in immortality, but who can be sure?
17272You are a reasonable man; you can not deny the right of an enemy to demand your terms before you declare war?"
17272You are a woman, are n''t you-- I mean a real woman?
17272You are rather a mysterious person, are n''t you?"
17272You are sure you wo n''t mind my sister coming with us, sir?
17272You can start at once, I hope?"
17272You do n''t think I''m a ghost, do you?
17272You go down to the House tonight?"
17272You got our telegram at Liverpool?"
17272You have been with Maxendorf?"
17272You have breakfasted?"
17272You have had some conversation already, have n''t you?"
17272You have heard of Selingman, is it not so?"
17272You have n''t attempted to commit us to anything, I hope?"
17272You have seen Mr. Foley and talked with him?"
17272You have seen him?"
17272You have the rare gift-- has any one ever told you that you are beautiful?"
17272You hear that?"
17272You know Maxendorf?"
17272You know him?"
17272You know of me, you pale- faced child?
17272You know that my uncle is expecting to see or hear from you this afternoon?"
17272You may redistribute wealth, but how do you propose to keep it in a state of equilibrium?"
17272You read of the Lancashire strike?"
17272You think that my interest in the people is an amateurish affair, half sentimental and half freakish, do n''t you?
17272You think that she would not come?
17272You understand, I am sure, that that commits me to nothing?"
17272You were a journalist, were you not, before you entered Parliament?"
17272You were at Manchester, were n''t you, and at my house with the others?"
17272You were n''t at Lyndwood, were you?
17272You will be at the Clarion to- morrow?"
17272You wo n''t keep me long, will you?
17272You wo n''t mind a very feminine room, will you?
17272You wo n''t object to my saying that we''re expecting something from you in the way of initiative, not to say leadership?"
17272You''ll be in the House this afternoon?"
17272You''ve got all the papers I''ve sent you about the cotton workers?"
17272You''ve seen it, perhaps?"
17272You, Beldeman?"
17272You?
17272Your husband is the steel millionaire, is n''t he?
17272he asked, without looking up"You, Franz?
17272how many of you have walked by day and night in the wilderness and felt your heart die away within you?
17272she exclaimed.."Why, Freddy, what on earth are you doing here?
17272the Prime Minister replied,--"a sense of proportion, perhaps?
17272was I not right?
15893A doctor? 15893 About Ruth?"
15893About eight, I suppose?
15893Also, can you tell me where the young woman-- Ruth Lalonde-- is?
15893And after that?
15893And how,asked Arnold,"does one enforce that right?"
15893And supposing,she said thoughtfully,"supposing I find that my obligations to other people forbid me to discuss these matters any more with you?"
15893And the murderer?
15893And was she kind?
15893And what did you do then?
15893And what happened?
15893And you? 15893 Angry?
15893Any idea where the governor is?
15893Anything wrong, sir?
15893Are you a friend of Isaac Lalonde?
15893Are you afraid of anything? 15893 Are you alone?"
15893Are you going back to Bourne End or to Hampstead?
15893Are you lunching alone?
15893Are you not afraid,she asked,"that I shall consider you a very inquisitive young man?"
15893Are you properly looked after? 15893 Are you so anxious to get away?"
15893Are you there, Ruth?
15893Are you?
15893Arnold, dear,she begged,"it sounds very delightful, and yet, ca n''t you see it is impossible?
15893Arnold,she whispered,"tell me, what do you think he has done?"
15893Arnold,she whispered,"you are sure that you did not know about coming here?"
15893As for me?
15893But for whom? 15893 But how is it that that makes such a difference to you?"
15893But is he not there?
15893But sha n''t I be able to say good- bye to Ruth?
15893But supposing he only laughs at me?
15893But tell me,she asked,"what is your connection with her?"
15893But the mystery of the man''s body being removed?
15893But what is the young lady to do?
15893But where does Isaac Lalonde come in?
15893But where to?
15893But why?
15893But you know who he was?
15893But, Arnold, we shall be friends?
15893But, Mr. Weatherley,Arnold protested,"do n''t you think that you ought to have an investigation among your household?"
15893But-- it is n''t easy, is it?
15893By the bye, is it my fancy, or were n''t you reading the newspaper when I came in? 15893 By the bye,"he asked,"you have n''t heard-- Fenella has n''t told you of the last turn in fortune''s wheel?"
15893By whom?
15893By whom?
15893By whom?
15893Ca n''t you see I am hiding here? 15893 Ca n''t you see that the time is short?"
15893Can I come in, madam?
15893Can you cross over somewhere there?
15893Can you get in, sir?
15893Can you spare me, sir?
15893Can you suggest anything that we ought to do, madam?
15893Can you tell me what newspaper he is engaged upon?
15893Come, Isaac,he protested,"I do n''t often inflict it upon you, do I?
15893Come, what do you mean by that?
15893Dear Ruth,he pleaded,"what have I done to deserve this?
15893Did n''t I see you turn the corner there, did n''t I hear your step three flights down? 15893 Did that man come up to his rooms?"
15893Did they tell you what the charge was?
15893Did you hear?
15893Did you lunch at the Carlton?
15893Did you make any discoveries?
15893Did you see Mr. Rosario? 15893 Did you see the man''s hand?"
15893Different, child? 15893 Dinner at this hour?"
15893Dinner- time?
15893Disappeared? 15893 Do n''t tell me that you are not enjoying it?"
15893Do n''t you believe,he asked,"in the universal principle, the survival of the fittest?
15893Do n''t you think that I had better stay by him?
15893Do n''t you think, perhaps, that your new friends may invite you to go and see them? 15893 Do n''t you understand that all we found was a man, lying in the centre of the room?
15893Do you know any one here?
15893Do you know of any other journal on which your uncle worked?
15893Do you know where your uncle is?
15893Do you know who he was?
15893Do you know who it is?
15893Do you know who it was who telephoned to you, sir?
15893Do you mean that you are his secretary, or something of that sort?
15893Do you mean to say that she ca n''t go back to her own rooms?
15893Do you often go into his room there?
15893Do you seriously suppose, then,he asked,"that the object of my message is to bid Mr. Rosario keep away from here because of some actual danger?"
15893Do you seriously think that I asked you to bring me on the river for the pleasure of watching your prowess with that pole, my friend?
15893Do you think she will, Chetwode? 15893 Do you think that I am likely to forget?
15893Do you think that I can not tell?
15893Do you think that he has met with an accident?
15893Do you think that if I had been happy I should have done that? 15893 Do you think you will want to go when Saturday afternoon comes?"
15893Do you understand what I said?
15893Do you want me to kiss you? 15893 Does he know himself who committed the murder?"
15893Does he know who they are?
15893Does it matter?
15893Does she know?
15893Enjoying yourself, I hope?
15893Feeling all right this morning, young man?
15893First then, who killed Rosario?
15893Gayety''s not upset you, then, eh?
15893Going to lunch early, are n''t you?
15893Groves, tell me exactly who is in the house?
15893Has any one fresh turned up?
15893Has every one taken leave of their senses?
15893Has no one ever moved you, Fenella? 15893 Has she missed me while I have been-- where the devil have I been, Chetwode?
15893Has the car returned?
15893Have I been ill, Chetwode?
15893Have I not already told you,she said,"that he left the cottage in the country, where we spent the week- end, before half- past seven this morning?
15893Have I not enough,she asked,"to make me anxious?"
15893Have n''t I been telling you all the time?
15893Have n''t you heard?
15893Have you any luggage?
15893Have you any objection to my ringing up some one else and telling him, too?
15893Have you any objection,the inspector asked,"to telling me where you have spent the whole of to- day?"
15893Have you brought me a message from Fenella?
15893Have you come here to make fun of me?
15893Have you ever been there, then?
15893Have you ever heard him speak of Rosario before?
15893Have you formed any idea yourself as to the motive?
15893Have you heard anything?
15893Have you noticed the shrinkage of weight in these last invoices?
15893Have you told any one else?
15893He does n''t speculate, I suppose?
15893Heard what? 15893 Heard?"
15893His castle, perhaps, is in the air?
15893Home?
15893How am I to understand what you mean?
15893How are you getting on with the typing, eh?
15893How are you, my young friend?
15893How can I tell?
15893How can he?
15893How did you know that I had any?
15893How do you get on with Count Sabatini?
15893How do you happen to know that?
15893Hullo, what''s this?
15893I am to have no other answer from you, then, but this foolery?
15893I had forgotten, Ruth,he said slowly,"but does it matter?
15893I have n''t been ill or anything? 15893 I hope that my work has given satisfaction?
15893I hope you were careful crossing the landing?
15893I mean that you could hold your own in a tussle, eh? 15893 I trust that the fellow recognized the situation?"
15893I trust,Arnold ventured, as he turned toward the door,"that Mrs. Weatherley is quite well this morning?"
15893I want to ask you,Mr. Jarvis began, impressively,"whether you noticed anything peculiar about the governor''s manner this morning?"
15893I was awfully sorry to overhear but you see I could n''t very well help it, could I?
15893I was not,he admitted;"but what does it matter?"
15893I wonder why? 15893 I wonder why?"
15893I wonder, now-- you''ve read the case, Chetwode?
15893I''m all right, Chetwode?
15893I''m punctual, am I not? 15893 I?"
15893If anything turns up,Mr. Jarvis asked eagerly,"anything tangible, I mean, you''ll tell me of it, wo n''t you, there''s a good fellow?
15893If nothing has happened to him,Mr. Jarvis protested,"where is he?"
15893If you are really fond of this sort of thing,she began,"you should come with me to the South Kensington Museum one day-- Who is that?"
15893If you do not sympathize with laws, you at least recognize morals?
15893Immersed in business, I suppose?
15893In that case,Arnold said,"will you allow me to see you there to- night?"
15893In the meantime, please tell me-- are we to speak of this to Rosario?
15893Indeed, sir?
15893Indeed?
15893Invited you to dine with him?
15893Is Isaac in custody?
15893Is Mr. Rosario here?
15893Is Mr. Starling in there?
15893Is any one about here?
15893Is he alone now?
15893Is he dead?
15893Is it far away?
15893Is it my fancy,he inquired,"or is the name familiar to you?"
15893Is it not his expressed wish that you should make no effort towards solving the reasons for his disappearance?
15893Is it the man Isaac Lalonde whom you are after?
15893Is it true, this message which you sent me by that young man? 15893 Is n''t that Mrs. Weatherley with you?"
15893Is n''t that a little difficult?
15893Is she educated?
15893Is that Mr. Weatherley''s office?
15893Is that about the governor?
15893Is that it?
15893Is that not just what I have been preaching to you? 15893 Is that sort of thing worth while, Isaac?"
15893Is there any call he could have paid on the way?
15893Is there any hurry?
15893Is there any news,asked Sabatini,"of our esteemed friend?"
15893Is there anything else?
15893Is there anything so terrible to tell me? 15893 Is this a jest?"
15893Isaac Lalonde,he called out,"you know who I am?"
15893Isaac,he said,"why do n''t you try and escape?
15893It is all wonderful,she whispered,"but ca n''t you see that I am out of place?
15893It was only the ring, then?
15893It''s a queer business, is n''t it?
15893It''s rather a bore, is n''t it? 15893 Last night,"she continued, softly,"we agreed, did we not, to be friends?
15893Might I ask,Arnold said,"if you knew this man-- if you had ever come into contact with him or seen him before?"
15893Miss Lalonde, you will not be unkind?
15893Mrs. Weatherley send any message?
15893Mrs. Weatherley,he said,"can I see you to- day-- as soon as possible?"
15893My dear fellow,he said,"why should I?
15893My dear girl,he laughed,"what was there to fear for me?
15893My friend would like to know why you looked at him like that?
15893My young friend,he said,"do you not understand that Isaac will not be taken alive?
15893Nice house, the governor''s, is n''t it?
15893No opportunity? 15893 Nor thinking of it?"
15893Nothing wrong with my appearance, is there? 15893 Now I should like to know,"he said,"exactly how Mrs. Weatherley struck you?"
15893Now are you quite satisfied about Starling?
15893Now how much is there in that safe, I wonder?
15893Of course he had saved it,Mr. Jarvis admitted;"but what has that to do with it?
15893Of course not,he replied,"and, in any case, what should I care?
15893Ought n''t I to send for some one?
15893Perhaps Mr. Chetwode will be so kind as to take you back? 15893 Perhaps she is in trouble because she has lost a relative lately?"
15893Perhaps we can drop you somewhere? 15893 Please tell me,"she begged,"what is the charge against my uncle?"
15893Pretty place, this, Miss Lalonde, is n''t it?
15893Questions?
15893Rather a gloomy person, eh?
15893Rosario-- Rosario stabbed?
15893Ruth,he demanded, hoarsely,"what are you doing out here at this time of night-- with him?"
15893Ruth,he exclaimed,"what do you mean?"
15893Ruth,he said,"you heard the time?
15893Ruth,he whispered,"will you look at me for a moment?"
15893See me back?
15893Seems to me you''re getting pretty chummy with the governor,he remarked;"or is it Mrs. Weatherley, eh?"
15893Shall we take this little round table near the window? 15893 She lives entirely alone with the uncle of whom you have spoken?"
15893She told you that?
15893She was not too tired yesterday, I hope?
15893Signor di Marito, you will take us to the automobile, will you not?
15893Since when?
15893So I can not induce you to become my escort for to- night?
15893So this is where the money is coined, eh?
15893So you played bridge with Mrs. Weatherley, eh?
15893So you''re back, eh? 15893 Something concerned with these happenings?"
15893Soon after seven o''clock?
15893Still, they asked you questions, no doubt?
15893Supposing I had not happened to discover you, I wonder how long you would have gone on?
15893Supposing I want five hundred pounds, could I have it?
15893Supposing the Cardinal had refused?
15893Tell me the news at once?
15893Tell me what you mean?
15893Tell me what you really think of them?
15893Tell me, are they moving?
15893Tell me, at least, was any one hurt?
15893Tell me, what is the cause of this disturbance?
15893Tell me, who is that?
15893Tell me,he said,"if she came from this little island in the Mediterranean, why does she speak English so perfectly?"
15893Tell me,he said,"what do you mean by that?"
15893Tell me,she asked, a little abruptly,"why are you a clerk in the city?
15893Tell me,she inquired,"has my husband sent you here?"
15893That''s all right for Hyde Park,Arnold declared, bluntly,"but do you imagine you are going to help straighten the world by this sort of thing?"
15893The Count Sabatini was there?
15893The police are in the rooms now?
15893The uncle from whom you borrowed money?
15893The young gentleman who was here before, to- day?
15893The young lady is still under your care?
15893Then what in the name of goodness did you find to keep you occupied all this time?
15893Then why not?
15893Then why,Arnold demanded,"does he hide and behave like a frightened child?"
15893There have been others, then?
15893There is nothing more that I can do for you?
15893There is nothing there for me?
15893There''s nothing against him, is there?
15893There''s nothing more you can tell me about this affair, I suppose?
15893They still do not move?
15893They were not really, then, Mr. Weatherley''s friends?
15893This man Isaac Lalonde-- was he arrested?
15893This was long ago?
15893To tell you the truth,he went on earnestly,"I was going to ask you whether you knew of anything in his life or affairs which could explain this?"
15893To- night?
15893Trust you? 15893 Was Starling concerned at all in this Rosario affair?"
15893Was Starling lunching there?
15893Was he here when you left this morning?
15893Was there a quarrel?
15893Was there ever any one here? 15893 We have compensations, of course,"Lady Blennington admitted,"but what do they amount to, after all?"
15893Well, well,Mr. Jarvis demanded,"what is it all about?
15893Well?
15893Well?
15893What about Isaac?
15893What about the man who sweeps the crossings, the beggars who ask for alms?
15893What about the police station?
15893What affair?
15893What are you doing here?
15893What business could I possibly have with a person of that description? 15893 What can have happened to him?"
15893What could I do without him?
15893What did you do?
15893What did you find there?
15893What did you tell him?
15893What did your brother- in- law think of it, sir?
15893What difference would it have made?
15893What do these men want?
15893What do you do when he is away for all this time?
15893What do you know of them?
15893What do you mean about your shoulders and your muscle?
15893What do you mean by that?
15893What do you mean?
15893What do you think you will find in those documents?
15893What do you want with him?
15893What do you want with me?
15893What does he do?
15893What does it all mean?
15893What does this mean? 15893 What does your uncle need with these?"
15893What had become of him?
15893What have you been doing? 15893 What is it you want to know that I have not told you, Ruth?"
15893What is it you want?
15893What is it, I ask you? 15893 What is it, dear?"
15893What is it?
15893What is she talking about all this time?
15893What is that?
15893What is the meaning of this, Fenella?
15893What is the meaning of this?
15893What is the name of the doctor?
15893What is there in it?
15893What livery''s that?
15893What made Mr. Weatherley ask you?
15893What made you come into it?
15893What made you come into the city, Chetwode?
15893What of Rosario?
15893What of him? 15893 What of it?"
15893What on earth are you both staring at?
15893What on earth are you doing in here, with half your bridge tables as yet unarranged? 15893 What on earth are you in this state for?"
15893What part of London do you live in?
15893What right have they in your garden? 15893 What right have you in this room?"
15893What should I know about it at all? 15893 What sort of a friend is that, do you think, for us?
15893What sort of questions?
15893What the devil are you doing here?
15893What the devil are you doing, opening the letters before I get here?
15893What the devil do you mean by that?
15893What the devil do you mean, sir? 15893 What the devil do you want?"
15893What time was that?
15893What was he doing in my sitting- room? 15893 What, have you two been quarreling?"
15893What, to the bank?
15893When did he write this?
15893When did you last see Isaac Lalonde?
15893Where are you taking us?
15893Where is he?
15893Where is he?
15893Where is he?
15893Where is the burglar?
15893Where is this man?
15893Where is your master?
15893Where the dickens have you been to all this while? 15893 Where?
15893Where?
15893Which room? 15893 Which room?"
15893Who do you believe could have struck him that blow in your room?
15893Who has done this?
15893Who in the world,he demanded,"save a few unwholesome sentimentalists, would consider the killing of Rosario a crime?"
15893Who is in charge here?
15893Who is it?
15893Who is that speaking?
15893Who is the missing man?
15893Who needs a doctor?
15893Who told you where to find me?
15893Whom are you hiding from? 15893 Why am I fetched from my room in this manner?
15893Why did he not appeal to me for help? 15893 Why do you look at me like that, dear?"
15893Why do you make me your confidant?
15893Why have you kept this a secret from me?
15893Why not others? 15893 Why not, little one?
15893Why not? 15893 Why not?
15893Why not?
15893Why not?
15893Why not?
15893Why not?
15893Why should I be sorry? 15893 Why should I know?"
15893Why should I stop?
15893Why should I?
15893Why should I?
15893Why should Isaac press me so hard to tell him where you were going to- night? 15893 Why should he retire?
15893Why the devil could n''t you have left me alone?
15893Why, do you remind me of it?
15893Why?
15893Will he talk about his campaigns?
15893Will there be a paragraph in the evening papers?
15893Will you do your duty any the less zealously, do you think,he asked,"because you have friends who take an interest in you?"
15893Will you let me speak to him about it, Ruth?
15893Will you really carry me up all the way, Arnie?
15893Will you smoke?
15893Will you wait for me for a few moments?
15893With your immense sympathy for others, perhaps you can explain this little act of inattention on your part?
15893With your invalid friend?
15893Wo n''t any one else come with us?
15893Wo n''t you present me to your friend, Arnold?
15893Wonderful?
15893Would you like me to go in and see next time he is out?
15893Would you like me to go out and send them away?
15893Would you like me to lend it to you?
15893You admit that and yet you are willing to be her guest?
15893You are ambitious, then?
15893You are n''t really feeling like that, Ruth?
15893You are not angry with me?
15893You are not going to suggest, I suppose, that financial embarrassments had anything to do with Mr. Weatherley''s disappearance?
15893You are really in earnest, then, about leaving?
15893You are sure that you will be all right?
15893You are tired?
15893You bring me news?
15893You can give me no explanation, then, as to your uncle''s absence to- night?
15893You can not believe, Ruth,he said,"that I shall ever forget?
15893You can not think that since I know the truth I could leave you here for a single second? 15893 You can take me there?"
15893You did that, eh?
15893You do n''t believe that I shall be able to immerse myself in business?
15893You do n''t care to tell me your history?
15893You do n''t mind it?
15893You do n''t mind?
15893You do n''t really suppose that the treasure which came for me was n''t yours, too? 15893 You do n''t suppose that you could have dreamed it all, do you?"
15893You do n''t think that I murdered him, then?
15893You do not mind?
15893You do not suppose,he replied,"that any sane person would choose it?
15893You felt what?
15893You follow the lane there?
15893You found the evening pleasant, I hope? 15893 You got my telegram?"
15893You have brought me some news on your own account, then?
15893You have enjoyed the day?
15893You have n''t been rushing about ringing up to give information, or anything of that sort?
15893You have n''t heard the motive even hinted at, I suppose?
15893You have n''t heard?
15893You have never seen what he prints?
15893You have no idea, I suppose,Sabatini asked, with a sudden keen glance,"as to the identity of the man whom you believe to be dead?"
15893You have not forgotten our long conversation, I trust? 15893 You have not seen anything of him yet, then?"
15893You have not yet told me,he said,"the name of the man who stands alone near the door-- the one with the little piece of red ribbon in his coat?"
15893You have seen Isaac?
15893You have the control of the finances, have n''t you?
15893You knew her?
15893You know that I should love it, dear,she said,"but, Arnie, do you think that when the time for the holiday comes you will want to take us?"
15893You know why he was watching your house, why he seems to have broken into it?
15893You know?
15893You like her, too?
15893You like my brother?
15893You mean in that smoke- colored muslin dress?
15893You mean that he was murdered?
15893You mean that he was there that night looking for me?
15893You mean that you will open it if you do not find him in the office when you return?
15893You mean,Arnold asked,"that you do not wish me to give any information, to say anything about last night?"
15893You really believe, then,she asked,"that he had some idea in his mind that something was likely to happen to him, or that he intended to disappear?"
15893You remember the night of my first visit here-- the face at the window?
15893You saw that, did n''t you?
15893You saw the man who did it?
15893You seem to be seeing quite a good deal of the wife, eh?
15893You think that he is dead?
15893You told him to go somewhere else instead of to the Carlton, did n''t you?
15893You told no one else but Count Sabatini?
15893You were not born to this sort of thing?
15893You will do me the honor,he murmured,"of presenting me to your companion?"
15893You will forgive me?
15893You will help me down, please?
15893You will let your sister know?
15893You will not forbid my making the attempt, I trust?
15893You will not mind a_ tête- à  -tête_ dinner?
15893You will not obey my orders about the office?
15893You will not suggest, Chetwode,he asked,"that she married Mr. Weatherley for any other reason than because he was a rich man?"
15893You will open the safe, then, this afternoon?
15893You will remember carefully my instructions, Pietro?
15893You wo n''t come for five minutes?
15893You wo n''t deny the right of a man to spend what he earns in the way he likes best?
15893You wo n''t leave me alone with him on the river?
15893You wo n''t leave me?
15893You wo n''t mind being left, will you?
15893You would not really accept aid from such?
15893You would trust a stranger,Arnold exclaimed,"with information which you deny me-- her friend?"
15893You''re not supposing, are you, that it was the same man who broke into my house last night?
15893You''re speaking from Bourne End, I suppose?
15893You''ve got my papers there all right, Chetwode?
15893You''ve heard that, too, eh?
15893You, Andrea, will wait for the baccarat, of course?
15893Your forehead only?
15893A friend of yours, is he?"
15893A time for everything, eh?
15893And he himself-- what did he think of it?
15893And how did you get in?"
15893And now, please, Mr. Arnold Chetwode, will you listen to me?"
15893And to- night-- what made him break into your room?"
15893And where is the castle of the Count Sabatini which has no roof?"
15893And yet, if so, what was Isaac doing with him?
15893Any news at the office yesterday morning?"
15893Are n''t you jealous?"
15893Are these the witnesses against me?"
15893Are you doing what is right to yourself in working at a degrading employment for a pittance?"
15893Are you, Isaac?"
15893Arnold, do you think that he has been getting into trouble?"
15893But what have you been doing, my young friend, to see dead men?
15893But you will get a good dinner, wo n''t you, Arnold?
15893Ca n''t you feel that you are going to a tragedy?
15893Ca n''t you hear the people shout, and the music, and the fountains playing?
15893Ca n''t you see that I have come just at the right time?
15893Ca n''t you see the dusky walls fall back, the marble pillars, the lights in the ceiling?"
15893Ca n''t you suggest something?"
15893Can I drop you anywhere?"
15893Can you tell me what the charge is against him?"
15893Can you?"
15893Chetwode?"
15893Chetwode?"
15893Chetwode?"
15893Chetwode?"
15893Chetwode?"
15893Chetwode?"
15893Did n''t I always foretell it?"
15893Did n''t he come to the Milan?
15893Did n''t lose any money at bridge, eh?"
15893Did n''t you see him at all?"
15893Did you ever fancy that she was like Sabatini?"
15893Did you give him the message?"
15893Did you go and kiss your master''s foot when he gave it to you?"
15893Did you read the papers on Thursday morning last?"
15893Did you save her life?
15893Did you see her come across the lawn to us to- night, Arnold?"
15893Do n''t you feel it?
15893Do n''t you feel it?
15893Do n''t you remember our money- box for the doctor?
15893Do n''t you think that, after all, one of your ships has come home?"
15893Do n''t you think we can afford to do what seems sensible?"
15893Do you hear?
15893Do you hear?"
15893Do you know how much the governor has spent during the last year?"
15893Do you know that he is away often for the whole day, and comes back white and exhausted, worn to a shadow, and sleeps for many hours?
15893Do you know that my brother was asking me questions about her until I thought my head would swim last night?"
15893Do you know that sometimes you provoke me a little?"
15893Do you know that we once actually told one another fairy stories?"
15893Do you know that with every word he spoke I felt that he was not in the least a stranger?
15893Do you know where he was a few nights ago, Miss Lalonde?"
15893Do you mind telling me whether this event is likely to prove of inconvenience to her?"
15893Do you mind?"
15893Do you remember when he stood and looked down upon us?
15893Do you see the time?"
15893Do you think she will?"
15893Do you think that I could leave you here for a single second?
15893Do you think that, having done it, I deserve to know, or could know, what happiness really means?"
15893Do you understand?"
15893Do you want me to hold you in my arms?
15893Do you want to make me believe impossible things?
15893Do you want to make use of me in any way?
15893Every moment he expected to hear-- what?
15893Fenella she calls herself, does n''t she?"
15893For three pounds a week I may rely upon your constant and zealous service?"
15893For what?"
15893Has Mr. Weatherley taken you into partnership, or has some one of your disagreeable relatives found you out and been pouring money into your pockets?"
15893Have n''t you noticed yourself that his behavior is peculiar?"
15893Have you ever heard the fable of Dick Whittington?"
15893Have you ever killed a man, Chetwode?"
15893Have you ever sat and watched the people in the street, Arnold?"
15893Have you ever thought of it, I wonder?
15893Have you everything you ought to have to wear, Arnold?"
15893Have you heard anything?"
15893Have you never known what it is to care for any one?"
15893Have you never tried to be a puppet, Arnold?"
15893Have you seen her?
15893Have you, too, been joining the army of plunderers?"
15893He ca n''t have been swallowed up, can he?
15893He opened it and read: If you are not too late, will you knock at the door and wish me good night?
15893How''s the little lady you brought down to Bourne End?"
15893I am sure that you do not mind?"
15893I dare say you remember meeting Mr. Rosario last night, eh?"
15893I have lost a good many of them.... You were n''t brought up to business, Chetwode?"
15893I hope it will amuse you?"
15893I hope that you approve of my bungalow?"
15893I suppose you are already convinced that she is entirely adorable?"
15893I was going to ask you whether you knew of any reason whatsoever why Mr. Weatherley should voluntarily choose to go into hiding?"
15893I was wondering if you-- you happened to play bridge?"
15893If he had found you all there--""Well?"
15893If the message comes, you will telephone, I know?"
15893If there were n''t something else in front, do you think one could live?
15893If to- morrow were to be the end, would you not enjoy to- day?
15893If you''ve anything to tell, why do n''t you tell it me?
15893Is anything missing?"
15893Is he a better man than the father who steals to feed his hungry children?
15893Is it absolutely necessary that you lunch with your brother?
15893Is it my daughter, the child of CÃ © cile, whom you have kept from me all these years?"
15893Is it the Rosario business still?
15893Is n''t it as comfortable for him to read his newspaper over the fire in the office here as at home?
15893Is she fond of you?
15893Is she going to be fond of you?"
15893Is that all that you wanted to speak to me about?"
15893Is that honesty?
15893Is that the river through the trees there?"
15893Is the millionaire honest who keeps the laws because he has no call to break them?
15893Is the one honest and the other a thief?
15893Is there any news of Isaac?"
15893Is there anything I can do?"
15893Is there no one whom she has the right to ask for a home?"
15893Is this the truth?
15893It is n''t any use my saying anything, Arnold, is it?"
15893It is n''t so, dear, really, is it?
15893It is true, is it not?"
15893It was a long street and there was a public- house at the corner, and I had a job somewhere, had n''t I, stacking cheeses?
15893It''s always easier, is n''t it, to fancy that something is coming into sight around the corner?"
15893Let me see-- you''re sure those bills of lading are in order, Jarvis?"
15893Listen!--is that some one coming?"
15893Look, is it not pretty?"
15893May I sit here?"
15893Mr. Jarvis, will you open this envelope?"
15893Mr. Weatherley ca n''t expect much from me in that way, can he?"
15893Must you, my dear young friend, go and hide your head in the sand because a woman is beautiful and chooses to be kind to you?
15893No case at all, you say?
15893Now is n''t my brother a wonderful man?
15893Now you understand?"
15893One must put up with it, eh?
15893Only afterwards--""Afterwards, what?"
15893Or would you like me to come and watch myself, to- night or to- morrow night, to see if they come again?"
15893Or you''ve had a rise?
15893Our friend Starling was glad to see you, I hope?"
15893Perhaps you will look at it yourself, sir?"
15893Perhaps you would prefer Mr. Chetwode to help you out?"
15893Perhaps you''ll tell me now what you want with her?''
15893Pleasant luncheon?"
15893Rosario?"
15893Rosario?"
15893Rosario?"
15893Say, what''s wrong now?"
15893Shall I call him out, sir?"
15893Shall I go and tell him?"
15893Shall I take you across now?"
15893Shall we go now, or would you like to stay here a little longer?"
15893Shall we go to the police or write to the newspapers?
15893She looks rather as though she had come out of a toy shop, does she not?"
15893So you told them nothing, eh?
15893Starling?"
15893Supposing he does not come back, how am I to keep silent, knowing all that I know, knowing that he was living in a house surrounded by mysteries?
15893Supposing, in return for all this information, you tell me something about yourself?"
15893Tell me how it happened, Arnie?"
15893Tell me now about Mr. Weatherley?
15893Tell me this?"
15893Tell me whether you can see any one watching the house?"
15893Tell me why you and your sister saw danger to yourselves in Starling''s nervous breakdown?
15893Tell me why?"
15893Tell me, Ruth, you are very fond of him?"
15893Tell me, how old are you?"
15893Tell me, is Mr. Rosario following us?"
15893Tell me, what did Lady Blennington say about us last night?"
15893Tell me, when have you to start?"
15893Tell me, why should that man have been haunting your house the other evening?
15893Tell me, would you like me to show you my books?"
15893That is what you desire?"
15893The cheeses did n''t smell so bad to- day?
15893The poor man ought to have known better than to have married her, of course, but do you think that he looks even reasonably happy?"
15893The red seal ring upon the finger-- what did it mean?
15893There is nothing you are keeping from me?"
15893There is something a little brutal about the treatment, do n''t you think?"
15893Therefore, will you wait here, please, for a short time, while I go and start another bridge table?
15893They were civil to you at the police court, eh?"
15893This is n''t a nightmare?
15893To whom do you think he has left his entire fortune, my dear Arnold-- three hundred thousand pounds they say it is?"
15893Was he very sorry when he arrived for having caused you so much anxiety?"
15893Was n''t there a ring answering to that description upon the finger of the man who stabbed Rosario?"
15893Weatherley?"
15893Weatherley?"
15893Weatherley?"
15893Weatherley?"
15893Weatherley?"
15893Weatherley?"
15893Weatherley?"
15893Well?"
15893Were they great friends, do you think?"
15893What about Rosario?"
15893What are we stopping for?
15893What are we to do?
15893What are you doing here?"
15893What business is it of yours to interfere?"
15893What could the voices have to tell you about that?"
15893What did Isaac give you?"
15893What did he want?
15893What did it mean, Arnold?
15893What did you think of that?"
15893What do you do when you have a buzzing in your head, Chetwode?"
15893What do you mean?
15893What do you suppose he keeps them here for, in his room?
15893What do you think of him?"
15893What do you think of it?"
15893What do you think of them?"
15893What do you think?"
15893What does it mean, Fenella?"
15893What does it mean?
15893What excuse can I possibly make?"
15893What for?"
15893What have I done?"
15893What is honesty?"
15893What is it that you wish to know?"
15893What is it you want?"
15893What is it you want?"
15893What is it, Arnold?
15893What is that gift, Arnold?
15893What is there behind that one, I wonder?"
15893What makes you ask me?"
15893What place have you among a crowd of anarchists and revolutionaries?"
15893What shall we do till then?"
15893What should you have done, Chetwode?"
15893What the devil should I hear down here?
15893What would he do?
15893What''s she like, Arnold?
15893When are you going to see her again?"
15893When could we go, Arnie?"
15893When?"
15893Who in the name of mischief left that window open?"
15893Who killed him?"
15893Who knows what story he may tell-- consciously or unconsciously-- in his desperate attempts to clear himself?
15893Who lives here?"
15893Who will come to the theatre with me to- night?
15893Why did you say that you recognized the hand-- that it was the same hand you saw upon the window- sill last night?"
15893Why do you connect me with this adventure of yours?"
15893Why does Mr. Starling look so much like an unwilling and impatient guest?
15893Why does he not help himself to what he wants?"
15893Why have n''t you told the truth?
15893Why interfere?
15893Why not slip away quietly and forget it?
15893Why should I be?"
15893Why should it not be the same?"
15893Why should n''t you stay in the country for the summer?
15893Why was my daughter''s existence kept a secret from me?"
15893Why?"
15893Will you direct the man?"
15893Will you give him a message from me?"
15893Will you take him a message?"
15893Will you take me out to my car, please?
15893Will you undertake it?"
15893Would you like some books or magazines, Miss Lalonde, or do you think you would care to come with us if we helped you very carefully?"
15893Would you wish any message to be sent to her?"
15893Would you-- er-- fill the vacant place?
15893Yet do you know, Chetwode, he would n''t take money from me?
15893Yet if Starling is guilty, why do you both protect him?"
15893Yet this is serious-- surely it is very serious?"
15893You admire the divine Fatime?"
15893You are not going to see her, then?"
15893You are not married, I presume?"
15893You are sure that you can manage it?"
15893You ca n''t believe that I should forget?"
15893You ca n''t blame me for that, can you?
15893You can guess why I have come?"
15893You did n''t come straight here?"
15893You did n''t happen to hear the direction given to the driver of the taxicab?"
15893You do n''t happen to have heard any particulars?"
15893You do n''t mind my being personal?"
15893You do n''t want her, do you?"
15893You do not object, I presume, to my dining with him to- night?"
15893You follow me, Chetwode?"
15893You follow me?"
15893You forgive me?"
15893You have not forgotten?"
15893You heard, but you do not mind?
15893You know she was a friend of Rosario-- Rosario the Jew?''
15893You know the sort of feeling he gives me, Chetwode?"
15893You know this man Sabatini?"
15893You know where it is?"
15893You passed him on the stairs, did n''t you?"
15893You remember all that?"
15893You remember that one day when you dined with me I told you of my uncle the Cardinal?"
15893You understand that, eh?"
15893You understand that?"
15893You understand?
15893You understand?"
15893You want to ring up Count Sabatini, I suppose?"
15893You will be waiting for me?"
15893You will come with me?"
15893You will excuse me, madam, if I ask whether Mr. Weatherley seemed in his usual health when he left this morning?"
15893You will lunch with me if I come up?"
15893You will show me where I can find my husband?"
15893You wo n''t be afraid to be left here?"
15893You would like a few days in the country, Ruth?"
15893You would n''t have me cling to the old any longer than I can help?
15893You''d like it, would n''t you, Ruth?
15893You, Chetwode?
15893Your salary-- what do you get at present?"
15893Your uncle has no regular hours, I suppose?"
15893Your young lady friend in the house?"
15893[ Illustration:"Where is this man?"
15893it''s you, is it, Chetwode?"
15893you are really here, then, in this odious gloom?
17066A witness of what?
17066ARE YOU WITH ME OR AGAINST ME?
17066Active enemies?
17066Afterward?
17066An''how do I know you told all you know? 17066 And Jack and the lady were three or four minutes behind him?"
17066And did you?
17066And quarreled with him?
17066And the new will?
17066And then?
17066And then?
17066And were on good terms with him?
17066Any one else?
17066Anything I can do for you in the meantime?
17066Anything else?
17066Anything occur at that time throwing any light on what subsequently occurred?
17066Are n''t you in bad enough already with Uncle? 17066 Are n''t you?
17066Are you claimin''that I killed him?
17066Are you going back to Twin Buttes?
17066Are you related to James Cunningham, the deceased?
17066Are you satisfied now that I''m in my right mind?
17066At them or at him?
17066At what time did this man knock?
17066At what time did this take place?
17066At what time was it you thought you heard this shot?
17066Bad news, pardner?
17066Beat him at Pendleton, did n''t you?
17066Big as a.45?
17066Bless my soul, did I forget that again?
17066Bring either of them to Denver?
17066Business?
17066But not in a personal sense?
17066But what does_ X_ mean?
17066But, my dear fellow, why should I do anything with her?
17066But-- two James Cunninghams have n''t died mysteriously, have they?
17066But--"Why did you lie about the time when you saw me that night?
17066Ca n''t we? 17066 Can I see that book?"
17066Can you give me the exact time he reached the apartment house?
17066Can you lend me a match, friend?
17066Can you locate more definitely the exact time you heard the shot?
17066Can you prove an alibi for the whole evening-- both of you?
17066Can you tell me where James Cunningham''s apartment is?
17066Carried a six- shooter for rattlesnakes, did n''t you?
17066Chief, is there anything you want to say?
17066Come to the big town to spend that thousand dollars you won the other day?
17066Could n''t she? 17066 Did James kill Uncle James?"
17066Did anybody see you go?
17066Did anything peculiar about the wound impress you?
17066Did he give you money not to tell? 17066 Did he own a revolver?"
17066Did he say anything?
17066Did he say so?
17066Did he throw you out of his room and down the stairs?
17066Did n''t hear him come downstairs later?
17066Did n''t you kill him?
17066Did she say anything?
17066Did she step in of her own free will?
17066Did we come here to discuss stenographers?
17066Did you answer the call?
17066Did you at any time hear the sound of a shot?
17066Did you do it?
17066Did you ever see this man, dear?
17066Did you fix the rope for a lariat up on the roof or wait till you came back to the fire escape?
17066Did you give it to him?
17066Did you kill him?
17066Did you kill the Jap servant, too, as well as his boss?
17066Did you know James Cunningham, the deceased?
17066Did you leave Cheyenne without riding to- day?
17066Did you meet any one going up or coming down?
17066Did you notice a violet perfume any other place that night?
17066Did you recognize him?
17066Did you say you were going to Golden?
17066Did you see any gun of any kind in your uncle''s rooms-- either a revolver or an automatic?
17066Did you see it done?
17066Did you win the championship?
17066Did you write to him or hear from him in that time?
17066Did your sister ever tell you that my uncle was responsible for--?
17066Do I look like I could buy registered stock?
17066Do n''t carry a gun in town?
17066Do n''t you think that obsession of yours is rather-- well, unlikely, to put it mildly? 17066 Do n''t you think we ought to see all the tenants at the Paradox and talk with them?
17066Do we light out now or wait for the cops?
17066Do you always--puff, puff--"leave your rooms"--puff, puff, puff--"by the fire escape?"
17066Do you happen to know the name of the lady with whom your uncle had an appointment on the night of his death at his rooms?
17066Do you happen to know where he is at the present moment?
17066Do you happen to remember whether you made out any license application for a man named Cunningham any time in the past two months?
17066Do you know anything at all about the Jap''s death? 17066 Do you know anything else that could possibly have had any bearing on my uncle''s death?"
17066Do you know if he is there now?
17066Do you know or are you guessin''?
17066Do you know that my cousin and Miss Harriman came to see my uncle that night? 17066 Do you know when Mrs. Rankin and your daughter will be home?"
17066Do you know when he found out?
17066Do you know who did kill him?
17066Do you know who killed my uncle?
17066Do you mean that he actually tried to kill you?
17066Do you mean that this man-- the younger one-- is the husband of Phyllis Harriman?
17066Do you mean, is it possible that somebody could have tied him to the chair after he was dead?
17066Do you own an automatic?
17066Do you recall her name? 17066 Do you refuse to tell us where she is?"
17066Do you see him in this room?
17066Do you think I did it?
17066Do you think he killed your uncle?
17066Do you think it was quite straight, Kirby, to go to Miss Harriman with such a trumped- up charge? 17066 Does she say--?"
17066During the past few months have you had any difference of opinion with your uncle?
17066Ever been to Golden?
17066Ever have any trouble with him?
17066Ever hear of a lady called Delilah?
17066Ever own an automatic?
17066Ever ride the range?
17066Ever see such luck?
17066Fall down?
17066Find out anything, Rose?
17066For God''s sake, man, what do you know?
17066For a marriage license?
17066For what, officer?
17066Found him-- where?
17066Go where?
17066Going through with this, are you?
17066Gone where?
17066Good news?
17066Had he ever suggested to you that he might commit suicide?
17066Had he ever threatened to cut you out of his will?
17066Had n''t we better let him tell his story in his own way?
17066Had you any expectation of being remembered in your uncle''s will?
17066Had you ever had any trouble with your uncle?
17066Had you suspected him before?
17066Has he bothered you since?
17066Has n''t he?
17066Have they gone crazy?
17066Have you any idea where she would be likely to go-- whether there is any friend who might have offered her a temporary home?
17066Have you anything to tell me?
17066Have you communicated the information to the police?
17066Have you found out anything more yet about-- the man?
17066Have you seen the man since?
17066Have you told him-- about Esther?
17066Have you touched the body or moved anything since you came?
17066Have you''phoned to your lawyer?
17066He knew?
17066He was alone?
17066He''s as selfish as the devil, is n''t he?
17066How about Horikawa? 17066 How can_ I_ help you?"
17066How could I if the blind was down?
17066How did my uncle take the news when you told him?
17066How did she show her fear?
17066How did you decide that the James Cunningham mentioned in the license you saw was the younger one?
17066How did you find that out?
17066How do I know?
17066How do you know I''m holdin''back?
17066How do you know all that?
17066How do you know he has n''t? 17066 How do you know he was there?
17066How do you know it is n''t?
17066How do you know that''s been done since?
17066How do you know that?
17066How do you know the time so exactly?
17066How do you know? 17066 How long do you think he had been dead when you first saw him?"
17066How long since you had seen him prior to your visit to Denver this time?
17066How long since you sold your.38?
17066How much do they give for burglary in this state?
17066How much money? 17066 How old was the lady?
17066How would he guess it?
17066How''s the arm?
17066How''s the leg? 17066 How?"
17066How?
17066I always claimed to be a white man, did n''t I? 17066 I did n''t tell them to gun him, did I?"
17066I''d be likely to tell you if I was, would n''t I?
17066I''m free to come an''go as I please?
17066I''m the man who wrote that letter, am I?
17066If you have nothin''to conceal, why do you block anyway? 17066 If you would answer a few questions--""What questions?"
17066In that time did your feelings toward him modify at all?
17066In this room?
17066In your judgment, then, the revolver was fired by a left- handed person?
17066Is he dead? 17066 Is he married?"
17066Is it good for our li''l''friend to be in the power of this good- lookin''guy with the big car, an''her without a bean of her own? 17066 Is it interference for Miss McLean here to want to know where her sister is?"
17066Is it open? 17066 Is it?
17066Is it?
17066Is there more than one entrance to the Denmark Building?
17066Just exactly what did you do?
17066Kirby, do you suppose your cousins really know Esther was married to your uncle? 17066 Know the date?"
17066Leaving the property to James and Jack?
17066Living in Denver?
17066Married to who?
17066May I ask if Mrs. Rankin and your daughter are at present in the house?
17066May I see the license?
17066Meanin''that he has?
17066Meaning, in plain English?
17066Meaning?
17066Mind if I read it? 17066 Miss Harriman?
17066Miss McLean and Uncle James married-- at Golden-- on the twenty- first of last month? 17066 Mr. James Cunningham?"
17066Mr. Lane, will you take the stand?
17066Name, please?
17066Nephew of the old man?
17066Never wrote it?
17066No?
17066Not even after he threw you downstairs?
17066Not in this court- room?
17066On what business?
17066Or his business with her?
17066Or is that the same thing?
17066Or the substance of them?
17066Own it now?
17066Own one, I suppose?
17066Precisely?
17066Pretty near up to you to find some one else to pass the buck to, ai n''t it?
17066Showing that the weapon had been fired close to him?
17066Some one hire you to hunt up evidence?
17066Soon as Mrs. Rankin comes home, will you call her up and remind her about lookin''for the certificate?
17066Sure it was n''t the perfume you use yourself that you smelled?
17066Sure your clock was right?
17066Sure?
17066That so? 17066 That was how long ago?"
17066That''s all you saw?
17066That''s the last time you saw him-- until you went to his rooms at the Paradox the night he was killed?
17066That''s the whole story?
17066The champion bronco buster?
17066The information will be there for us, too, wo n''t it?
17066The nephew is n''t killed, too, is he?
17066The police did n''t find a woman''s glove in the room, did they?
17066Then who did-- yore wife?
17066Then whose is it?
17066There was n''t any quarrel between you recently, was there?
17066Think I did it?
17066This is my job, is it?
17066This is not a private conference, then?
17066Through with Mr. Cunningham, Johns? 17066 To your knowledge, Mr. Cunningham, had your uncle any enemies?"
17066Took the dust, did I?
17066Under the circumstances could the revolver have been fired so that the bullet could have taken the course it did if held in the right hand?
17066Very close?
17066W- w- who says so?
17066Want me to help you gather the loot?
17066Was between the two trips of the elevator, you mean?
17066Was her name Esther McLean?
17066Was it because you tried to defend James to him-- tried to get him to forgive the treachery of his fiancà © e and his nephew?
17066Was it before James Cunningham went up in the elevator? 17066 Was it light enough to tell who they were?"
17066Was it possible that the deceased could have shot himself?
17066Was it successful, may I ask?
17066Was my uncle senseless then?
17066Was she fair or dark?
17066Was that the conduct one would expect of an innocent man?
17066Was that you telephoned me?
17066Was the hall lit when you came out of my uncle''s rooms?
17066Was your clock exactly right?
17066Was your uncle engaged to be married at the time of his death?
17066Was your uncle engaged to be married at the time of his death?
17066Well, what you waitin''for?
17066Well, what''s it all about? 17066 Well?"
17066Were you at home on the evening of the twenty- third-- that is, last night?
17066Whadjamean?
17066Whadjawant?
17066What Cunningham?
17066What about her?
17066What about him?
17066What about this Jap fellow? 17066 What about this girl in Uncle''s office-- the one in trouble?
17066What are the interestin''points of the town?
17066What are you afraid of?
17066What are you drivin''at?
17066What are you sayin'', then? 17066 What caliber was it?"
17066What caliber was it?
17066What did he do?
17066What did he say to give you that impression?
17066What did they do then?
17066What did you do that for?
17066What did you do?
17066What did you do?
17066What do you expect to find among the marriage licenses?
17066What do you mean to do?
17066What do you mean? 17066 What do you mean?"
17066What do you think of that prize package, Cole?
17066What do you want to know?
17066What do you want?
17066What do you want?
17066What does she mean that she''ll be taken care of till afterward? 17066 What harm will that do?"
17066What in time did he want to do that for? 17066 What is it?
17066What is it?
17066What is the name of the young woman?
17066What is your business?
17066What kind of a chance are you giving me? 17066 What kind of a gun was it?"
17066What kind of a gun?
17066What makes you think that?
17066What man or men would benefit most if Esther disappeared for a time? 17066 What man?"
17066What others?
17066What sort of a reputation has Uncle James in this way? 17066 What time did he reach the Paradox?"
17066What time was this?
17066What took place then?
17066What was said, if anything?
17066What was the cause of the bad feeling between you?
17066What was the sense in killin''him? 17066 What was the subject of the quarrel?"
17066What were you doing there all that time?
17066What were your relations with him?
17066What you do here?
17066What you doing here?
17066What you mean-- the best reason in the world?
17066What you want, Hull?
17066What''s bitin''you? 17066 What''s in the wind now?"
17066What''s the drift of this? 17066 What''s the trouble between you about?"
17066What''s the use o''talkin''foolishness, Kent? 17066 What''s up, Kirby?"
17066What''s up? 17066 What''s up?"
17066What''s your proposition?
17066What''s_ he_ doing here?
17066What-- what--?
17066When Uncle James sent a messenger for you to come to his rooms at once on the evening of the twenty- first, what did he want to tell you?
17066When did you go?
17066When did you last see Mr. Cunningham alive?
17066When did you last see my uncle alive?
17066When did you see it last?
17066When was the last time you saw the deceased alive?
17066When?
17066When?
17066Where can I see him most easily? 17066 Where did you carry it?"
17066Where do you think you''re going?
17066Where is she now?
17066Where shall I begin?
17066Where was the chair in which the deceased was seated? 17066 Where we goin''?"
17066Where your uncle lived?
17066Where''s Esther?
17066Where-- where did you find it?
17066Where?
17066Where?
17066Where?
17066Which hip pocket?
17066Which man do you mean?
17066Which of you went back upstairs to untie my uncle after you had run away in a fright?
17066Which one?
17066Which way did he go when he left you?
17066Who did that?
17066Who killed Cunningham, Hull?
17066Who killed him?
17066Who said he sent a messenger for me?
17066Who says I saw anything from there?
17066Who spoke first after they came into the room?
17066Who to?
17066Who told you we were there? 17066 Who wants me?
17066Who was it? 17066 Who''s there?"
17066Who''s your friend?
17066Who, then?
17066Who?
17066Whose marriage is it? 17066 Why did he run away if he had nothin''to conceal?"
17066Why did n''t he tell us that?
17066Why did n''t you go to Jack, then?''
17066Why did you come, then?
17066Why did you not call up the police at once, as soon as you found the crime had been committed?
17066Why do n''t they arrest Hull?
17066Why do you say good?
17066Why not? 17066 Why now?
17066Why should it be dragged through the mud-- if you''re all innocent?
17066Why should it go to the police? 17066 Why should you all assume I know?"
17066Why would n''t I be? 17066 Why would she go with a man she did n''t know very well?
17066Why-- if you care to tell?
17066Will he? 17066 Will it do any harm to take a friend along when you go to see this man?"
17066Will it take long? 17066 Will you explain about the note, please?"
17066Will you point him out?
17066Will you stand aside, sir?
17066Will you take the key back to the Chief of Police?
17066Will you tell what, if anything, occurred?
17066With my uncle still tied up?
17066Without meeting anybody?
17066Would she recognize them? 17066 Would you know him again?"''
17066Would you know him if you saw him again?
17066Yes?
17066Yes?
17066Yet when you came to town you called on him at the first opportunity?
17066You are his next of kin?
17066You are his only nephews-- his only near relatives?
17066You are, eh?
17066You ca n''t ever mind your own business, can you?
17066You dawg- goned old hellamile, what you mean comin''down here an''gettin''throwed in the calaboose?
17066You did n''t actually see Hull fire the shot that killed my uncle, then?
17066You did n''t take the elevator up, then?
17066You do n''t know who it was you struck?
17066You do not desire to make any explanation?
17066You do not know who wrote the letter?
17066You feelum all right yes now?
17066You felt that Mr. Cunningham ought to have helped him?
17066You go police an''say I know who make Mr. Cunningham dead?
17066You had a bitter quarrel?
17066You had just found it out yourself?
17066You have not seen him since that time?
17066You knew your uncle well?
17066You know my sister, Esther McLean, a stenographer of your uncle?
17066You know they turned in at the Paradox?
17066You left next mornin''for Dry Valley, did n''t you?
17066You left the apartment?
17066You mean-- now?
17066You mean--?
17066You no want me?
17066You reckon? 17066 You saw him do it?"
17066You tellum police I killum Mr. Cunnin''lam and Horikawa?
17066You tryin''to hang this killin''on me?
17066You were in my uncle''s apartment-- on the night of the murder?
17066You write me note come here now?
17066You''re quite sure of that?
17066You''re sure of that?
17066You? 17066 Your cousin James?"
17066Your uncle?
17066Your wife heard this sound, too?
17066''Quite through?''
17066Ai n''t they got no sense a- tall?"
17066Am I right, Chief?"
17066Am I right?"
17066An''if the folks that finally bumped him off knew he did n''t aim to tell what he knew, whyfor did they figure they had to get rid of him?"
17066An''why did it get her goat when I asked where Uncle James lived?"
17066And does he really expect me to see him now?"
17066And how long are you going to stay?"
17066And say, what''s the name of that fresh guy who came in here and cut the page from the register?
17066And was she dark or fair?"
17066And what date?"
17066And what under heaven had hit him hard enough to put the lights out so instantly?
17066And why?
17066Are we goin''to bring her into this?"
17066Are you and James in this thing?
17066Are you proposing I turn state''s evidence on James?
17066Are you sure you returned it to the clerk?"
17066Are you sure?"
17066Are you sure?"
17066Are you with me or against me?"
17066At his office?"
17066Behind those cold, calculating eyes what was he thinking?
17066Blanton?"
17066Bone broken?"
17066But how about Hull an''Olson an''the Jap?
17066But it ai n''t likely he handed her the gun to do it with, is it?
17066But since I''m here-- say, Rose, where can we have a talk?
17066But to whom?
17066But what was she to do?
17066But will he go with us?"
17066But-- damn it, do you think we want the name of my brother''s wife dragged through the mud?"
17066By the way, did you find anything about where James goes into the hills?"
17066CHAPTER XII"THAT''S THE MAN""Your name?"
17066CHAPTER XXII"ARE YOU WITH ME OR AGAINST ME?"
17066CHAPTER XXXIV FROM THE FIRE ESCAPE"The woman-- what was she like?"
17066Ca n''t you do something?"
17066Ca n''t you find it in the book?"
17066Ca n''t you see that?"
17066Ca n''t you?"
17066Can I come this morning?"
17066Can I help you now?"
17066Can you come here-- right away?"
17066Can you make a guess?"
17066Could I get away with a story like that?
17066Could a man get out of the Denmark Building now by way of the Rockford entrance?"
17066Could he be the murderer?
17066Could the boys have used it to get into the store an''then brought it back?
17066Could you go?
17066Cunningham''s enemies could n''t be his enemies, too, do you reckon?"
17066Cunningham?"
17066Cunningham?"
17066Cunningham?"
17066Did James propose that he go first?"
17066Did he come in?"
17066Did he know more than he had told?
17066Did he say two thousand?"
17066Did his uncle know of the marriage of his nephew?
17066Did n''t I say so?
17066Did n''t Mr. Lane think he had done right in taking the papers from the safe when he had a chance?
17066Did n''t you?"
17066Did she intend to be reasonable?
17066Did the cattleman mean to expose James before the woman he knew to be his wife?
17066Did they know more about the murder than they pretended?
17066Did you know him well?"
17066Did you see anything suspicious going on at any time?"
17066Did young Lane expect him to back his side of the quarrel?
17066Did your uncle return?"
17066Do n''t that look reasonable to you?
17066Do n''t you ever stay down?"
17066Do n''t you reckon some one else beat it by the fire escape?"''
17066Do n''t you see?
17066Do n''t you see?
17066Do n''t you think so?"
17066Do n''t you think you ought to go to the police with your story?
17066Do n''t you waver at all?"
17066Do you believe he killed his uncle?"
17066Do you believe me absolutely?
17066Do you hear?
17066Do you know at what time Mr. Cunningham left the City Club?"
17066Do you think I shot Uncle James?"
17066Do you think I''m willin''to go back to my friends with a Scotch verdict hangin''over me?
17066Do you think they can be trying to keep it quiet so she ca n''t claim the estate?"
17066Do you want to go to Golden with me?"
17066Do you?"
17066Do your hunches often take you like that-- right out of a perfectly good show you''ve paid your money to see?"
17066Does that look reasonable to you?"
17066ESTHER"Did anybody see her go?"
17066Eat lunch with me to- morrow, ca n''t you?
17066Fellow at the other end said,''This you, Uncle James?''
17066For instance, how did they come and did they bring witnesses with them?"
17066Get hurt?"
17066Had Hull bribed him to keep quiet?
17066Had James befriended him merely to be in a position to keep closer tab on anything he discovered?
17066Had Kirby got anything of importance on James?
17066Had Phyllis Harriman been the woman Rose had met on the stairs?
17066Had he just come out of the apartment where Horikawa was hidin''?
17066Had he wanted to be close enough to throw him off the track with the wrong suggestions?
17066Had n''t we better get that out of the way?"
17066Had n''t you better give Hudson another chance before you fire him?"
17066Had the Hulls deliberately shifted the time back thirty- five minutes?
17066Had the tendons of that arm been strained by a jiu- jitsu twist?
17066Had the young man, after all, a warmer feeling for his dead uncle''s reputation than he had given him credit for?
17066Have you any other word than the one I have used to suggest as a more fittin''one?"
17066Have you ever heard of his bein''in anything of this sort before?"
17066Have you got the note with you?"
17066He must have heard me, for he called out,''Who''s there?''
17066How about to- morrow morning?"
17066How are you, James?"
17066How can I get to the bottom of the thing when you an''James wo n''t give me the facts?"
17066How could this man know exactly what he had done unless some one had seen him?
17066How could you tell what was comin''?
17066How did he come into it?"
17066How did he know my uncle had been killed?
17066How did he see me?
17066How did these papers come here?
17066How did you recognize them?"
17066How do you know it?
17066How had they all managed to get in and out without being seen by each other?
17066How long you figurin''to stay in Denver, Cole?"
17066How much did his cousin know?
17066How much did she know and how much guess?
17066How much was he merely guessing?
17066How old was your uncle?"
17066How''re you going to find the guilty man?"
17066How''s the arm?
17066Howcome she to go with him?
17066Hull ask you not to tell about him?"
17066Hull go up to his rooms with me?"
17066Hull plainly?"
17066Hull was in my uncle''s rooms the night he was killed?"
17066Hull?
17066Hull?"
17066Hull?"
17066Hull?"
17066Hull?"
17066Hull?"
17066Hurt much?"
17066I guess I was all in, was n''t I, Shibo?"
17066I have n''t seen you since you were ten years old, have I?"
17066I mean do you know of your own eyesight that they ever reached his apartment?"
17066I''m not on trial for my life here, am I?"
17066If he did that last, which fork of the road did he take?
17066If he knew somethin''why did n''t he come to bat with it?
17066If he wanted it why did n''t he take a copy?
17066If not the killer, how did he know that a crime had been committed less than an hour before?
17066If not, why did they tie him up first?"
17066If so, how did the presence of Rose fit into the schedule?
17066If so, why should he telephone the police and start immediately the hunt after him?
17066If so, why?
17066If you''ll come to the house-- Or shall I meet you downtown?"
17066If you''re not in this killin''why not tell what you know?
17066Is it broken?"
17066Is that it?"
17066Is that quite clear?"
17066Is that satisfactory, Hull?
17066Is that testimony true?"
17066Is that what you''re driving at?"
17066Is that why you want me to drop my investigations?"
17066Is there any other record kept of the marriages?"
17066Is there anything in the world we can do to head you off?"
17066It was-- let me think-- in the afternoon-- the day before--""And you parted from him on the best of terms?"
17066Kinda leaves James in the spotlight, does n''t it?"
17066Lane?"
17066May I come in?"
17066Mind if I do?
17066My question was, what about?"
17066Now would n''t you?"
17066Oh, are n''t you mistaken, Mrs. Rankin?
17066Or did he want to win back favor with James Cunningham, Senior, millionaire?
17066Or did she mean to try to impose impossible conditions?
17066Or do you prefer to be arrested?"
17066Or was he bluffing?
17066Or was his decision only the expression of a native chivalry that went out to all his friends and perhaps to all women?
17066Or was it a plant?
17066Or was it after Jack Cunningham an''Miss Harriman passed on the way up?"
17066Or was there anything significant in the last sentence?
17066Rose, I mean?"
17066Say, you blamed ol''horntoad, howcome you not to stay for the finals?
17066See?"
17066Shall I leave the writing here?"
17066Shall I tell you the thing that''s got you worried?
17066Shall we go by the interurban?"
17066So I called back,''Who?''
17066That was the way of it, was n''t it?"
17066Then why is the question such a knockout to you and Miss Harriman?
17066To what dark destiny was she moving?
17066To- day?
17066Until then they''ll be good to her, wo n''t they?"
17066Wanta come along?"
17066Was he as simple as he wanted to appear?
17066Was he in love with the Wild Rose from Wyoming, whose spirit also was like a breath from the sweet hill pines?
17066Was he slipping a noose over his own head?
17066Was he starting on a journey the end of which would be summary vengeance?
17066Was he telling more than he should?
17066Was it between the time he went up an''the other two went up?
17066Was it even fair?"
17066Was it genuine?
17066Was it just a shot in the dark?
17066Was it possible he could have killed Cunningham himself and be trying to throw the blame of it on Hull?
17066Was it possible the Hulls had just come down from the apartment above when he had knocked on their door?
17066Was it to divert suspicion from themselves?
17066Was that generous?
17066Was that why he was afraid to come out in the open with what testimony he had?
17066Was there any particular significance in it?
17066We''ve met before, have n''t we?"
17066Whadjawant me for?"
17066Whadjawant?"
17066What are you afraid of?
17066What are you doing here?"
17066What are you drivin''at, anyhow?"
17066What are you goin''to do?
17066What are you staying here for hounding the life out of James and me?"
17066What bearing had this marriage on it, if any?
17066What business have you to ask her questions?"
17066What business you got to come here devilin''me, I''d like for to know?"
17066What could he do against a single- track mind with such driving force back of it?
17066What did Lane want with his uncle?
17066What did he mean?
17066What did he want?"
17066What did she know about the murder of his uncle?
17066What did she take with her?"
17066What did you think we found out?"
17066What do you mean by trouble?"
17066What do you think I am-- a nice little parlor girl who has to be petted when she gets hurt?
17066What do you think I am?
17066What do you want to prove?"
17066What do you want?"
17066What evidence have you?"
17066What for?
17066What had she been doing in Cunningham''s room?
17066What happened next?
17066What is it?
17066What is it?"
17066What kind of perfume was it?"
17066What made you change yore mind?"
17066What more potent reason could there be for concealment than their desire to keep the fortune of the millionaire in their own hands?
17066What ought she to do?
17066What say?"
17066What secret connected with his uncle''s death lay hidden back of the limpid innocence of those dark, shadowed eyes?
17066What the devil did James, Senior, mean by what he had said?
17066What then?"
17066What visit?
17066What was he going to find behind that door?
17066What was he waitin''for?
17066What was it the man knew?
17066What was she doing here?
17066What was she like behind the inscrutable, charming mask of her face?
17066What was that disagreement about?"
17066What was this girl, the sister of Esther McLean, going to tell him and his brother?
17066What would she do if the worst she feared turned out to be true?
17066What you want me for?"
17066What''s a week in your young life?"
17066What''s changed his views?"
17066What''s the big idea?
17066What''s the idea in the mileage?"
17066What''s the matter, man?
17066What''s the need of all them_ ifs_?
17066What''s your hurry?"
17066What''s your reason?"
17066When did you reach town?
17066When he tells what he saw--""Shibo?"
17066Where does he claim he was when he seen it?"
17066Where was he while the police were huntin''for him everywhere?
17066Where was it his nostrils had whiffed the scent more recently?
17066Where would she be going with him?"
17066Where you staying?
17066Where?
17066Which is it?"
17066Who are you, anyhow?
17066Who are you, anyhow?"
17066Who had planned this attempt on his life and so nearly carried it to success?
17066Who is the man?
17066Who was she?
17066Who was the man with her?
17066Who was this man?
17066Who were they lookin''for when they opened the door an''saw me?
17066Who were they?"
17066Who''ll take care of her?"
17066Who, then, had brought these papers here?
17066Why another quarrel?"
17066Why are n''t you frank an''open?
17066Why could n''t she have met him first?
17066Why did James lose the Jap''s confession-- if it was a confession?
17066Why did he get Miss McLean to disappear?
17066Why did he light out so_ pronto_ if he ai n''t in this thing?"
17066Why did you limp when you came in?
17066Why did you steal that record at Golden?
17066Why do n''t you go back to Wyoming and mind your own business?
17066Why do n''t you go to James an''make a clean breast of it?
17066Why do you ask?"
17066Why had he let her go alone, knowing as he did how swift she blazed to passion when wrong was done those she loved?
17066Why had his uncle, who was openly engaged to Phyllis Harriman, married her surreptitiously and kept that marriage a secret?
17066Why not call on them and renew acquaintance?
17066Why should you come to me?"
17066Why was Shibo holding it back?
17066Why were this woman and her husband setting back the clock thirty- five minutes?
17066Why?
17066Why?
17066Why?"
17066Why?"
17066Why?"
17066Will you think it over and let me know what seems right to you?"
17066Wo n''t you-- won''t you--?"
17066Would n''t there be reason enough then to kill him?
17066Would she accept a monetary settlement and avoid the publicity that could only hurt her sister as well as the reputation of the name of Cunningham?
17066Would their story not start a hunt for the woman in the case?
17066Would they arrest him-- or me?"
17066Would to- morrow morning suit you?"
17066Would you like the matter arranged this afternoon?"
17066You did n''t go back, then?"
17066You have it with you?"
17066You were engaged to him, were you not?"
17066You''ll forgive me, wo n''t you?"
17066_ And had he left Horikawa behind him dead on the bed?_"James, white to the lips, looked steadily at his cousin.
17066_ Had James come fresh from the murder of Horikawa_?
17066_ What_ did you say?"
17066about her trouble?"
17066she murmured,"does he usually call in the middle of the night, I wonder?
17066with him?"
23150''I hope,''he said,''you are in a better temper, my dear Talbot?'' 23150 ''What is the game now?''
23150Abode?
23150Age?
23150Age?
23150Ah,said Brett,"what was that address?"
23150Am I such a nuisance then that I have to be packed off at a moment''s notice?
23150Am I to be killed at once?
23150And does she live here constantly?
23150And does she stop at Messina?
23150And his name is Dubois?
23150And his skin was very brown?
23150And how do you propose to follow them up?
23150And now that I have told you all that you want to know, I suppose, may I ask you a question of some interest to myself? 23150 And now, Mr. Sharpe,"said Brett, turning to the other officer,"what did you observe?"
23150And the other servants?
23150And then?
23150And what are they, sir?
23150And what is that?
23150And what message did you bring?
23150And what then?
23150And what were your thoughts?
23150And why, monsieur?
23150Anything else?
23150Are you going to make any inquiries in the hotel, sir?
23150Are you serious, old chap?
23150Are you sure it was a sword- cut?
23150Are you sure this is the man?
23150At what time did you go there?
23150But ca n''t you explain matters a little more clearly? 23150 But certainly,"replied the porter, elevating his eyebrows;"what else could it be?"
23150But is it not so?
23150But look here, Brett: are you doing the right thing in this matter? 23150 But what about Gros Jean and the Turks?
23150But what about the Turks?
23150But what about you?
23150But what must we do?
23150But what of the house of the Rue Bonbonnerie?
23150But where did the knife come from?
23150But you are probably armed, whereas I am defenceless? 23150 But, gentlemen,"moaned the disconsolate cabman who had headed the procession from Palermo,"who will pay me for my dead horse?"
23150By the way,inquired Gaultier,"have you learned anything else since your arrival?"
23150Ca n''t you find me a job?
23150Can it be possible that what you say is true?
23150Can we do anything?
23150Can you introduce me to him?
23150Can you recollect any of the special precautions taken to protect the gems? 23150 Did his Excellency and the other members of the mission eat food prepared in the ordinary way?"
23150Did n''t that strike you as curious?
23150Did she see you?
23150Did that shooting affair convey anything more to you than what I have said?
23150Did the gentleman with the sabre- cut on his face take any part therein?
23150Did you do this?
23150Did you not know?
23150Did your brother call there as usual on Monday afternoon?
23150Did your brother leave the house immediately?
23150Did your brother say why the diamonds were brought to this country in the first instance?
23150Do they live there alone?
23150Do you know how fast she is steaming?
23150Do you know who this messenger was?
23150Do you know,he said,"who is the proprietor of the Cabaret Noir?"
23150Do you mean the innkeeper Gros Jean and the Turks who accompanied him from Messina by train to- day?
23150Do you mean to say you have arrested the Earl of Fairholme?
23150Do you mean to say,said Fairholme, anxiously,"that you are contemplating another risky bit of business to- night?"
23150Do you mean,cried Talbot, starting to his feet,"that you will stand by me?"
23150Do you really believe,she said, turning to the barrister,"that you will soon be able to find my brother?"
23150Do you require further proof?
23150Does your name happen to be Gaultier?
23150Dogs, or pigs?
23150During the interval,said Hussein- ul- Mulk suavely,"is there anything you wish to do-- any letters to write, or that sort of thing?"
23150Fairholme, Talbot, you-- what are Edith and I going to do?
23150Financially, do you mean?
23150Good gracious, Bobby, what is the matter with you? 23150 Had n''t we better follow him?"
23150Have you any letters here for Monsieur Jean Beaujolais?
23150Have you entrusted the Sultan''s diamonds to the care of a scamp like this?
23150Have you ever been associated with him before?
23150Have you got any sisters, Miss Talbot?
23150Have you had_ dà © jeûner_, or have you time to join me in a cigarette?
23150Have you received any letters for a person of that name?
23150He is a favoured lover of La Belle Chasseuse?
23150He said:''Have they got the diamonds?'' 23150 How are you feeling now?
23150How can I help it?
23150How can that be?
23150How can we fight?
23150How did they come to be injured?
23150How did you do that?
23150How did your Turkish associates manage to murder Mehemet Ali and his secretaries so quietly?
23150How long am I to sit chewing cigars in our rooms, then?
23150How long have you known Dubois?
23150How long have you known him?
23150How many of these men were there?
23150How many rooms were there in the flat? 23150 How much of the five thousand pounds given you by the Turks remains in your possession?"
23150I am still fogged as to what you mean by their destination?
23150I merely wish to know when it will be convenient for me to have some conversation with mademoiselle, your charming daughter?
23150I shouted,''Talbot, are you there? 23150 I suppose I may regard that as a compliment?"
23150I suppose you have secured rooms in the hotel?
23150I suppose you never heard the name of Jean Beaujolais before in your life?
23150I suppose,said Fairholme,"that this crowd will watch us pretty closely, wo n''t they?"
23150I think you said that mademoiselle was in the South of France?
23150I wonder how much my life was worth during the first five minutes?
23150If the young lady will tell us why she wants to know, we may be able to help her?
23150If you were told that he had bolted with a nondescript young woman, what would you say?
23150In French?
23150In what capacity?
23150In what way?
23150Is Monsieur Beaucaire in?
23150Is Palermo a difficult port to make?
23150Is he a Frenchman, then?
23150Is he in disguise, then?
23150Is he there?
23150Is his name Henri?
23150Is it far?
23150Is it?
23150Is the address written by him?
23150Is there any news of Monsieur and Madame Dubois, and the fat man Gros Jean?
23150Is there anything else I can tell you?
23150Is there no chance of your discovering the whereabouts of that fishing- smack?
23150Is there no other way?
23150It was in this room, then,continued Brett,"that the murders took place?"
23150It will be adjourned, of course?
23150Look here, old chap, are you fixed up for a cruise? 23150 Lucille what?"
23150Marguerite is Mademoiselle Beaucaire?
23150May I ask if you have adhered to that intention?
23150May I ask why I am indebted to you for this display?
23150May I inquire the reason, monsieur?
23150May we expect to be busy to- night?
23150My darling girl,he cried,"where have you been?
23150Nationality?
23150Neither you nor I thought of punching that wire screen, did we?
23150Of course, you do n''t know why the diamonds were stolen?
23150Pray tell me how?
23150Profession?
23150Rather an early hour for business, is n''t it?
23150Seen whom?
23150Shall I turn on the hot air?
23150Shall we go in the yacht?
23150Should we not be going back to the hotel to lunch? 23150 Suppose we come across Talbot to- night, as you anticipate, where shall I find you to- morrow?"
23150Surely Miss Talbot can not be seriously hurt?
23150Surely you do not doubt the evidence?
23150That is as much as saying that there are no facts worth inquiring into to be learnt here?
23150The old signor was walking with the Turks?
23150Then he is not likely to be embarrassed for money?
23150Then how shall I find words to express myself?
23150Then what are we to do?
23150Then what is it that makes you so downcast?
23150Then you are quite certain it was Talbot?
23150Then you have news of Jack?
23150Then, Mr. Brett,put in Edith quietly, with a tired smile,"I suppose we may go to bed?"
23150Then, why should they seize and gag you for conveying such a simple message?
23150There is no other of the same name in Montmartre?
23150They were well dressed?
23150This is the Cabaret Noir?
23150To arrest somebody, of course?
23150To what do you allude?
23150Was he alone?
23150Was it for the happiness of seeing me that monsieur has visited the house?
23150Was that the only reason?
23150Was there anything else?
23150Well, Mr.--Mr.--Hussein- ul- Mulk consulted a visiting card--"Mr. Reginald Brett, I think, is your name?
23150Well, and what happened at the Foreign Office?
23150Well, and what if it is?
23150Well, in the first instance, have you known him many years?
23150Well, now, in what way can I help you regarding Hussein- ul- Mulk?
23150Well, what is it?
23150Well,he said,"tell us now who it was that sent you to the Turks with the diamonds?"
23150Well?
23150Were they dressed in European clothes or in regular Turkish garments?
23150What about payment for my dead horse?
23150What are you talking about?
23150What cab?
23150What did you say your name was?
23150What do you mean by saying that Mr. Talbot would make no move in the matter until next morning?
23150What do you mean by the words''their attire''?
23150What do you say if we drive to the Rue Barbette at once?
23150What happened next?
23150What has happened since one o''clock this morning to make you so confident?
23150What has that to do with you?
23150What is he like?
23150What is it that you want to know?
23150What is it you want?
23150What is it?
23150What is the matter?
23150What is the meaning of''Le Ver''?
23150What is your name?
23150What is your name?
23150What on earth is the matter?
23150What shall we answer?
23150What sort of a person is Monsieur Beaujolais?
23150What terrible thing has happened?
23150What was the object of your visit yesterday?
23150What were they, Turks or Christians?
23150What young lady?
23150What?
23150What?
23150What?
23150When does the inquest take place?
23150Where are the others?
23150Where are you going to, sir?
23150Where can I find her?
23150Where did this confidential servant sleep?
23150Where do you live? 23150 Where is Miss Talbot?"
23150Where is his lordship?
23150Where now?
23150Where now?
23150Where to, sir?
23150Where?
23150Which of you three-- Sir Hubert Fitzjames, Talbot, or Fairholme-- looks most like a Frenchman?
23150Who could dream of such fortune at this hour? 23150 Who is this?"
23150Who is your friend?
23150Who on earth did you telegraph to, Jack?
23150Who sent you there with the diamonds?
23150Who shot her?
23150Who would have thought it?
23150Whom do you wish to see at this hour?
23150Why are you using such horrid language? 23150 Why did you come here?"
23150Why did you not wire it to me last night?
23150Why do you seek to mislead me in this fashion?
23150Why do you wish to see him?
23150Why not? 23150 Why should I?"
23150Why should a woman seek to depreciate anything she values?
23150Why such a name?
23150Why such tenderness?
23150Why?
23150Why?
23150Why?
23150Will you allow me,he said to the commissary,"to put a few questions to this man?"
23150Will you keep quiet?
23150Will you not tell me your business? 23150 Will you object,"he said,"if I leave you alone a few minutes?
23150Will you tell me as nearly as you can the occurrences of Monday evening?
23150Would you mind explaining to me how this precious information reached you?
23150Would you swear it was he, though his life depended on your accuracy?
23150Yes?
23150You are a noted thief, and you obtained your nickname by reason of your dexterity in picking locks and climbing through scullery windows?
23150You are generally known as''The Worm?''
23150You are not deceiving us, doctor? 23150 You are quite positive that both letter and envelope are in your brother''s handwriting?"
23150You are quite sure he was one of the members of the mission?
23150You are quite sure that his was a nature that could not stoop to a vulgar intrigue?
23150You are sure?
23150You can not do much by remaining here, can you, so I suppose you will not be long?
23150You do not mean to tell me that they are the people whom Mr. Brett met this morning at the station?
23150You do not seem to expect much result?
23150You have never seen them, Mr. Brett? 23150 You have received important news?"
23150You have served several periods of imprisonment, and have paid over 400 francs in fines?
23150You have?
23150You know that my brother is an assistant Under- Secretary in the Foreign Office?
23150You mean this?
23150Your brother was quite sure that it was from Mehemet Ali himself?
23150Your name?
23150Your name?
2315011 about ten minutes ago?"
2315011, Rue Barbette about midday they maintained no further guard over that house?"
2315011, Rue Barbette, yesterday?"
2315011, Rue Barbette?"
2315011, did you say?"
23150A note of agony came into his voice, as he added:"Do you know what this means to his sister?
23150After a quick glance at the pasteboard, Gaultier continued--"I suppose, Mr. Brett, you have some motive in addressing me?
23150Am I to be hanged, or imprisoned, or passed on to the Sultan for treatment?"
23150Am I to understand that what has transpired this morning remains, we will not say a secret, but a myth, a mere idle phantasy as between you and me?"
23150And the lady who lives there, a dark pretty woman with white skin, who is she?"
23150And where is the Rue Barbette, monsieur?
23150Any other commands?"
23150Are any of these gentlemen here skilled players in your fashion?"
23150Are you going to throw vitriol over her?"
23150Are you married to Mademoiselle Beaucaire?"
23150Are you staying with old Mother Peter?"
23150At last he said submissively--"In what way can I help?"
23150Brett?"
23150Brett?"
23150Brett?"
23150But Brett only said--"Have you brought it with you, Miss Talbot?"
23150But I want you to tell me who lives in the house opposite?"
23150But he was amazed to hear Brett''s familiar voice asking--"Do you think the disguise sufficiently complete?"
23150But may I ask, Brett, why you wish one of us to haul down the British flag?"
23150But tell me,"went on Edith, whose excitement was readily construed as the pangs of jealousy,"who is the creature that lives with him?"
23150But what happened to the man''s face?"
23150But why was Hussein killed?"
23150But-- but-- what connection can Jack have with the theft of diamonds worth millions?
23150By the way, may I trouble you for another cigarette?"
23150By the way, what height is Talbot?"
23150By the way, where is he?
23150By the way,"he added, turning at the door,"is there any reason why I should not wire to Edith to expect me to- night?"
23150CHAPTER XIII THE RELEASE"Now, who talks first?"
23150Can we do it?"
23150Can you let me have a large dark shawl?
23150Captain Gaultier eyed his questioner with some degree of stern suspicion as he said from behind his cigar--"May I ask who you are?"
23150Daubeney?"
23150Daubeney?"
23150Did you lose sight of the couple after your escape?"
23150Do n''t you realize, Edith, what it means to us if Mr. Brett discovers those diamonds within the next few hours or days?"
23150Do n''t you see, old chap, that two of us might make a reasonable show if violence is attempted?
23150Do the police really know of it?
23150Do you approve?"
23150Do you follow me?"
23150Do you follow me?"
23150Do you know anything about his private affairs?"
23150Funny, is n''t it,"she rattled on,"that Jacques should be called''Le Bon,''for he is the worst man in Marseilles?
23150Harry, you will come too, will you not?"
23150Have you a headache?"
23150Have you just come here?
23150Have you noticed the party of Turks and a Frenchman grouped together in the opposite corner?"
23150He closed the door behind him when he re- entered the room, and said quietly--"How did you happen to meet her?"
23150He could not have gone to the Cabaret Noir in the time?"
23150He held out his hand to wish her good- night, but she demanded with some surprise,"What are you going to do?
23150He turned to Brett with a nonchalant question--"Mr. Brett, have you any influence with those two worthy Italian doctors?"
23150However, do you feel capable of attending to this part of the programme?"
23150I cried,''you understand English?''
23150I never knew you in such a melting mood before?"
23150I presume that this is where the police guard was stationed?"
23150I suppose you have in your service a reliable servant, endowed with a fair amount of physical strength?"
23150I understand that the cigarette habit has grown very much of recent years in England?"
23150I wonder if he is the fellow we followed to Montmartre this morning?"
23150I wonder if it is so?"
23150I wonder what he will write now?
23150In that case, what do you say if we run over and see the Chateau d''If-- the place that Dumas made famous, you know?"
23150Indeed, was there not a compliment in Fairholme''s unconscious outspokenness?
23150Is it necessary that I should be kept in the dark as to the circumstances which have led up to this critical movement to- morrow?"
23150Is it too hot?"
23150Is n''t he a villain?
23150Is n''t it possible to charter a steamboat and set off after the smack?"
23150Is n''t it possible to obtain some trustworthy detective to keep watch in the street, and let me go into the place with you?
23150It saves so much trouble, does it not?"
23150It was I who mentioned the South of France, was it not?
23150May I ask how monsieur came to hear of her name?"
23150May I ask when I shall be at liberty to do so?''
23150Miss Talbot looked at him unflinchingly as she uttered the next question:"Do you mean that it serves to clear my brother from any suspicion?"
23150Now I wonder why that should be necessary?"
23150Now we''re getting on, are n''t we?"
23150Now, wo n''t you start with a whiskey and soda, light a cigar, and draw an easy chair near the fire?"
23150Perhaps you prefer to await his return?"
23150Plenty of coal, champagne, and all that sort of thing?"
23150Shall I go?"
23150Sir Hubert managed to stammer--"When can we see her?"
23150So he turned to the detective, and said--"Tell me, briefly, what happened?"
23150Speaking in broken English he said--''Vat you vant?''
23150Surely Paris can not again have swallowed them up?"
23150Surely you want some sleep?"
23150Talbot?"
23150That''s awkwardly put, is n''t it?
23150The Argentine-- with £4,000?
23150The knife and the pliers accompanied them, I suppose?"
23150The only way in which you could be positively certain was to enter into conversation with him, was it not?"
23150The stolid detective, however, quickly recovered himself, and his first words were--"Did Mr. Brett fully understand my signal?"
23150Then I will take personal charge of the Cabaret Noir, and----""What about me?"
23150Then, on the second floor-- by the way, Marie, who is it that lives on the second floor?"
23150Then, who could the woman be?
23150There was sufficient of the landlady in her demeanour when she said,"And what would messieurs be pleased to command?"
23150Thus reassured, he strode after La Belle Chasseuse, who cried out impatiently:"Come quick, Henri; what are you waiting for?"
23150Turning affably to the stranger, he remarked--"Nasty night, is n''t it?
23150Was there anything about his appearance that might lend credence to such a view?"
23150What can I do for you?"
23150What can we do?
23150What charge can we prefer against them?
23150What could she do?
23150What happened afterwards?"
23150What has happened?"
23150What is it?"
23150What is there to fear?
23150What is to become of me?
23150What need was there for such a trick?
23150What reason can you have for seeking to shield these men who treated you in a barbarous way and left you to die a cruel death?"
23150When Talbot heard the contents of the letter he remarked:"I suppose that''All goes well''means that I am still a prisoner?"
23150When did your young man leave you?"
23150Where did you get that shawl?"
23150Where is the market for diamonds such as these are supposed to be?
23150Where is your hat?
23150Where''s the fire?"
23150Which way are you going?"
23150Whilst the answering flags were being displayed Daubeney asked--"What does it all mean?"
23150Who can identify either of them?
23150Why on earth should you run such an awful risk, and take it alone, too?
23150Why should they spare him when success had crowned their efforts?"
23150Why, is n''t that Jacques le Bon''s boat?"
23150Why?
23150Will you explain?"
23150Will you honour me by driving there and telling me something about your wonderful London as we go?''
23150Will you not take a seat for a little while and observe the play?"
23150Will you not try these cigarettes?
23150Will you please come and help to explain matters to my uncle?
23150Will you take it?"
23150Will you trust me so far as to tell me all that is known to you personally?"
23150Winter?"
23150Winter?"
23150You are going on to Paris, you said?"
23150You both drove to the Grand Hotel, and your companion signed the register there in the names of Mr. and Mrs. Talbot; is it not so?"
23150You fully understand me?
23150You know how the diamonds were abstracted from the house?"
23150You know the little turret close to which they are standing?"
23150You know, of course, the manner of the last Sultan''s death?"
23150You remember that the lady''s father, Gros Jean, visited the Gare de Lyon yesterday?"
23150You remember that the other pair of scoundrels escaped to Smyrna?"
23150You see the joke?''
23150You were not joking?"
23150You will mention to no one the theory I have just explained to you?"
23150cried Edith, who naturally enough was following each word with the utmost interest,"do you already know his name?"
23150cried the earl,"you have not already decided upon a course of action?"
23150he said aloud--"at the door, or in the street?"
23150he said to the pilot,"ask the driver if he saw two carriages pass up the Corso just now at a very fast pace?
23150inquired Brett;"they impressed you as Turkish gentlemen by their features, and they wore fezzes?"
23150laughed Brett;"not after your dramatic appearance in the Rue Barbette this morning?"
23150what is that?"
20611A joke''s a joke, but when you ask a man to explain his presence on his own boat, you''re coming it just a little thick, eh? 20611 A rest?"
20611A yacht?
20611About me?
20611Am I as bad as all that?
20611Am I-- ought I to go and see her?
20611An accident?
20611An appointment?
20611And a party?
20611And do you always succeed in getting what you want?
20611And he is to board it to- night?
20611And how much have you left of the nine hundred pounds?
20611And now,she said, looking at him,"I owe you four thousand pounds and you think, perhaps, that your time has come to speak?"
20611And that?
20611And then?
20611And what am I to do then?
20611And what is the rest?
20611And while we are talking in a more or less friendly fashion,he went on earnestly,"might I give you just one more word of counsel?
20611And why ca n''t you now?
20611And why not?
20611And why should you have them addressed to the bank?
20611And yet you are here?
20611And you still tell me that you have nothing to do with it?
20611And you will not give me a reason? 20611 And you''ll have to be amiable to some one you''ve never seen in your life before, I suppose?"
20611And you?
20611And your present anxiety is to know where I spent the intervening time, and why I am here in Monte Carlo? 20611 Any breakfast, monsieur?"
20611Any more scraps going?
20611Anything else?
20611Anything fresh?
20611Are all the men of your nation so self- confident?
20611Are the Wolves sheep, indeed, that they can do no more than twist ankles and break heads? 20611 Are there any conditions?"
20611Are you feeling it?
20611Are you going to shoot up?
20611Are you going?
20611Are you here alone?
20611Are you inclined to tell me with whom your appointment is, and for what purpose?
20611Are you married?
20611Are you quite ready for tea, Lady Hunterleys? 20611 Are you really under the impression that that is the case?"
20611Are you serious?
20611Are you so colossal a fool as only to have guessed it at this moment?
20611Are you still,he asked,"troubled by the attentions of the person you spoke to me about?"
20611Are you sure that I am not detaining you?
20611Are you the valet on this floor?
20611Because I want to marry you?
20611Besides, what does it matter? 20611 Break down?"
20611But do you mean really that those guns all the time were n''t loaded?
20611But have I not told you already,she protested,"that I do not receive callers?
20611But how do you know what I am?
20611But look here, ca n''t I do something? 20611 But what good are you doing here, anyway?"
20611But what on earth has happened in my room?
20611But what''s it all about?
20611But who in the world should want to get your letters?
20611But why?
20611But your personal sympathies?
20611By the Luxe? 20611 Ca n''t it?"
20611Ca n''t you guess?
20611Ca n''t you tell me at least what has happened?
20611Calling to see our poor invalid?
20611Can not leave Monte Carlo?
20611Can not?
20611Can we change the subject, please? 20611 Can you spare me one moment?"
20611Cheerful time we had last night, had n''t we?
20611Coffee for one or two, sir?
20611Come and sit down for a moment, will you, Sir Henry?
20611Conscious?
20611Could I have some tea?
20611Could n''t we sit down somewhere in these wonderful gardens of yours and talk?
20611Could n''t you dine as you are?
20611Could you recognise the person who presented it-- you or your clerk?
20611Coulois,he whispered,"the wolves bay loudest at night, is it not so?"
20611Dead?
20611Dicky, are you, by any chance, in earnest?
20611Dicky,she murmured, wiping her eyes,"tell me, is that why you are sitting there, looking as though you could see right into Heaven?
20611Did I do as you wished, dear?
20611Did he really believe so, do you think?
20611Did you come to look for me? 20611 Did you happen to notice whether Mr. Grex was in there?"
20611Did you see-- Miss Fedora?
20611Did you want me?
20611Did you write that?
20611Do I know her, I wonder?
20611Do n''t mind my staying for a little chat, do you?
20611Do n''t you find it dull?
20611Do n''t you think I''m big enough to take care of myself?
20611Do n''t you think,she returned,"that you are a little outstepping your privileges?"
20611Do n''t your men ever tell your women that they love them?
20611Do people talk like this to casual acquaintances in your country?
20611Do you address me?
20611Do you care very much for any one else?
20611Do you feel well enough to walk as far as Lady Hunterleys''apartment with the aid of my arm?
20611Do you happen, Sir Henry,he asked,"to have had any word from the prison authorities to- day?"
20611Do you know anything about this affair?
20611Do you know him personally?
20611Do you know that he has been out all night two nights this week already, and he is making no end of preparations for to- day?
20611Do you know the time?
20611Do you know,she said,"that no young man has ever dared to talk to me as you have done?"
20611Do you mean that my wife is gambling beyond her means?
20611Do you mean that we are to consider ourselves your prisoners?
20611Do you mean this?
20611Do you mean,she asked incredulously,"that youth is incapable of love?"
20611Do you mean-- have you given her or any one to understand that there was any likelihood of my consenting to such an absurd scheme?
20611Do you mind telling me of what nationality you are?
20611Do you offer it to me as Linda''s husband?
20611Do you really mean take you back to London, Violet?
20611Do you really mean that?
20611Do you think it''s any use waiting?
20611Do you think that I want to buy you?
20611Do you want to come in?
20611Does Linda know how much you have lent me?
20611Does Mr. Draconmeyer know that you are leaving?
20611Does Violet want me?
20611Does it matter,he asked abruptly,"that I am rich-- very rich?"
20611Does not make any difference?
20611Does the conversation you wish to have with me refer to Lady Hunterleys?
20611Doubtless,Hunterleys agreed,"but there is also the chance that he was murdered, is n''t there?"
20611Engaged?
20611Engaged?
20611Fedora does n''t mind?
20611For how long?
20611For what else does one live in Monte Carlo?
20611Forgive me if I was a little prolix,he said,"but, after all, what would you have?
20611Found his way into my room?
20611Frenhofer?
20611Getting warm, are n''t you?
20611Gone out again?
20611Happen to know any one of the name of Grex?
20611Has anything happened here, Peter?
20611Has he had it?
20611Have I been a brute?
20611Have I ever seen you before?
20611Have I not done my best to reciprocate? 20611 Have n''t you been told,"he asked stiffly,"that the Terrace is unsafe for women after twilight?"
20611Have you anything to tell me, David?
20611Have you been in there?
20611Have you copies of your reports to London?
20611Have you heard anything about Henry?
20611Have you made any plans?
20611Have you plenty of room?
20611Here in Monte Carlo?
20611How am I to answer that?
20611How are you going to manage that introduction?
20611How can I get these absurd ideas out of your mind?
20611How can I tell that? 20611 How did it happen?"
20611How did the fellow get into my room?
20611How did you know when I left London?
20611How did you leave things in town?
20611How do the rehearsals go?
20611How do you do, Sir Henry?
20611How do you know that?
20611How go things, friend Allen?
20611How long will you be changing?
20611How much will you have-- ten mille or twenty?
20611How should I?
20611How''s Felicia?
20611How''s the nerve, eh?
20611I can count on you, of course, if I arrange anything?
20611I do not understand,he enquired hoarsely,"how you came by the passwords?"
20611I find myself constrained to ask you,he said, in a studiously measured tone,"by what means you became possessed of the pearls you are wearing?
20611I gather that our friend is still alive?
20611I have n''t offended you?
20611I know it,the other admitted,"but what am I to do?
20611I say, Sir Henry, you wo n''t mind if we leave early?
20611I should like to ask you, Selingman,he said,"whether you have made any definite plans for your conflict with the British Navy?
20611I suppose it''s useless for me to ask if there''s anything I can do to help?
20611I suppose there is no doubt that Henry is at the Club?
20611I suppose,she said,"that you are quite sure of what you told me the other evening about this young singer-- Felicia Roche?"
20611I trust that you are enjoying your holiday here?
20611I trust that you think your wife looking better for the change?
20611I trust,Hunterleys enquired politely,"that you were not detained upon the yacht for very long?"
20611I want you to tell me the name of the gentleman and young lady who are sitting over there at the corner table?
20611I wonder if Henry had my note?
20611I wonder if either of you know some people named Grex?
20611I wonder,he asked,"whether you would step in for a few minutes and see Linda?"
20611I wonder,she began, as they turned out of the white gates,"whether you would mind very much if I told you something?"
20611I wonder,she murmured,"could I send another message to him?
20611I''d like to be introduced to her before four o''clock, propose to her this evening, and-- and--"And what?
20611If I come,she whispered,"you are quite sure that you mean it all?
20611If I go now, will you be at the Club to- morrow afternoon?
20611If I have other feelings of which I have not spoken,he said quietly,"have I not kept them to myself?
20611If I make my excuses and leave Monte Carlo to- night,she went on,"will you come with me?"
20611If it would not be regarded as a liberty,he said at last, as Hunterleys rose to move off,"may I be permitted to present myself?
20611If you are not playing here, will you come and sit down for a few moments?
20611If you had?
20611In return, may I say something to you? 20611 In the hotel?
20611In what way?
20611In where?
20611Is Lady Hunterleys leaving to- day?
20611Is Mr. Grex at home?
20611Is Sidney back?
20611Is he hurt?
20611Is it necessary to explain?
20611Is it not enough?
20611Is it so extraordinary?
20611Is it sufficient,he asked,"for me to assure you, upon my word of honour, that I know nothing of this?"
20611Is it?
20611Is n''t it possible,he ventured to suggest,"that it is your companions who are the object of this man''s vigilance?
20611Is n''t that just a little-- unusual?
20611Is n''t this rather a new departure of yours?
20611Is that all he told you of his movements?
20611Is that all?
20611Is that what you came to say?
20611Is that your husband, madame?
20611Is the door closed?
20611Is the young man in love, do you suppose?
20611Is there any news of Sidney?
20611Is there any objection to my seeing the body?
20611Is there any reason why I should not?
20611Is there anything wrong with my appearance? 20611 Is there dancing here to- night?"
20611Is there room for three of us, in case of an emergency?
20611Is this just curiosity?
20611Is what?
20611Is your keeper anywhere in the vicinity?
20611Is your yacht in commission?
20611It is a great scheme,Frenhofer assented,"but supposing my master should choose to telephone some small detail to the office of the man Schwann?"
20611It is n''t quite correct, is it?
20611It is only a sudden feeling on your part, is n''t it? 20611 It is rather like my handwriting,"she admitted,"and as for the signature, do you mean to say really that that is not yours?"
20611Just a little impetuous, are n''t you?
20611Know what?
20611Lane,he said,"I have given you several hints during the day, have n''t I?"
20611Later on?
20611Look here,he said,"the girl is n''t married, to start with?"
20611Madame?
20611Markets about the same, I suppose?
20611May I ask where you are staying here?
20611May I be permitted to compliment you upon your toilette?
20611Monsieur Picard,he exclaimed,"what on earth is the meaning of this?
20611Monsieur desires some information?
20611Monsieur is doubtless a stranger to Monte Carlo?
20611Monsieur''s friend has departed?
20611Mr. Draconmeyer,he said desperately,"do you think there''d be any chance of my getting an introduction to the young lady?"
20611Mrs. Draconmeyer is still an invalid?
20611My dear Dick, that does n''t sound very reasonable, does it?
20611My father?
20611My husband''s protégée?
20611My young friend,he said,"are n''t you taking your marriage prospects a little for granted?
20611No,she confessed,"I am not a queen, and yet--""And yet?"
20611Not from Linda''s husband?
20611Not going up to La Turbie, by any chance?
20611Not if I beg you?
20611Not your own master?
20611Now what do I do, monsieur?
20611Now what is it that you want?
20611Now what is the nature of this mission, please? 20611 Of what are you not sure?"
20611Or are you trying to incite a supposititious curiosity? 20611 Or even what I am like?
20611Or you would not have come?
20611Personally? 20611 Prefer your own wine?"
20611Rather an uncommon name, is n''t it? 20611 Richard,"Hunterleys said,"will you see me through?
20611Say, Hunterleys,he suggested,"do you think I could do something for the crowd on my little boat-- a luncheon party or a cruise, eh?"
20611Say, do you know where Sir Henry is?
20611Say, have you got a valet here with you?
20611Say, old chap, are you in a hurry or anything?
20611Say, what do you mean by this?
20611Say, where are you off to, Sir Henry?
20611Say, you do n''t mean this seriously?
20611Say,he begged,"can I take a hand in this little discussion?"
20611Second to the left, eh?
20611Send this up to Sir Henry, will you?
20611Shall we go?
20611Shall we make a start?
20611Shall we meet later at the Club?
20611Shall we stroll along the Terrace?
20611She dances alone?
20611Since you defy my authority,he said,"may I ask whether my wishes have any weight with you?"
20611Since you know all about him, perhaps you can tell me his name?
20611Sir,he said,"since we have been and are your unwilling guests, will you be so good as to arrange for us at once to relieve you of our presence?"
20611So that''s it, is it?
20611So that''s the game, is it?
20611So they''ve got you, too, Dicky, have they?
20611Some champagne?
20611Sorry,the young man said briskly,"but, after all, we need n''t stand on ceremony, need we?
20611Still no success, eh?
20611Succeed?
20611Successful, I trust?
20611Surrounded by mysteries, are n''t you, old chap?
20611Tell me again,Hunterleys asked,"at what hour is it to be off the Villa Mimosa?"
20611Tell me, Sir Henry,he begged, almost pathetically,"have I walked into an artificial world?
20611Tell me, what are your plans, really?
20611Tell me?
20611Tell us what it''s all about, anyhow?
20611That brute-- didn''t touch you, did he?
20611That may have been so at first,Hunterleys agreed,"but how about since then?
20611The affair of last night?
20611The little affair at La Turbie?
20611The little girl''s told you the news, I suppose?
20611The young lady who is always with him,Richard persisted,"would that be his daughter?"
20611The young lady,Mr. Draconmeyer answered,"is, as you surmised, his daughter.... Shall we finish our promenade, Lady Hunterleys?"
20611Then may I ask how you really mean to get more money?
20611Then to whom shall I apply?
20611Then who could this person have been?
20611Then why do we not go on to the Casino?
20611Then why have you come?
20611Then you know who she is, any way?
20611Then you''re not going to take advantage of your little warning and clear out?
20611There is no one else-- hurt? 20611 They ca n''t do more than arrest him as a trespasser, or something of that sort, surely?"
20611This seat is disengaged?
20611To leave Monte Carlo?
20611To remain?
20611To wait for what?
20611Was he wearing the hotel livery?
20611Was n''t it coffee you wanted? 20611 We shall meet, perhaps, in London?"
20611Well, Dicky,she exclaimed,"what luck?"
20611Well, dear philosopher,he exclaimed,"why this subdued aspect?
20611Well, unless what?
20611Well, what is it?
20611Well, when can I see you, then, and where?
20611Well, you do n''t mind being taken by surprise once in a while, do you?
20611Well?
20611Well?
20611Were you waiting for me?
20611What about the Opera?
20611What about the young lady?
20611What are you going to do about it?
20611What are you here for?
20611What do you know about him?
20611What do you mean-- your own boat?
20611What do you mean?
20611What do you mean?
20611What do you mean?
20611What do you think? 20611 What do you want?"
20611What does Hunterleys do here?
20611What does that mean? 20611 What else is there that I do not know?"
20611What has brought you here?
20611What have you been doing in all these places?
20611What is it that you wish to tell me?
20611What is it you are trying to make me understand?
20611What is it?
20611What is the use of telling her? 20611 What is your name?"
20611What share in him do you claim?
20611What sort of weather did you have in Algiers?
20611What the dickens have you been doing there?
20611What the mischief are you doing here?
20611What the mischief have you got there?
20611What the-- what''s wrong?
20611What we want to discover is, exactly how much does Hunterleys know of certain operations of ours which are going on here? 20611 What would you like to do afterwards?"
20611What''s it all about, eh? 20611 What''s it all about?
20611What''s the matter with you all here?
20611What''s the matter with you, Richard?
20611What?
20611Whatever is the matter with you both?
20611When did you arrive?
20611When may I come again?
20611Whenever you feel that you would like to go down and have something, do n''t mind me, will you?
20611Where can I find him?
20611Where is she?
20611Where to?
20611Where''s Sidney?
20611Who are you?
20611Who are you?
20611Who is coming with me to the Club? 20611 Who is it?"
20611Who knows but that the big things may come, even this afternoon? 20611 Who knows?"
20611Who the devil are you?
20611Who the hell are you, and how did you get up there?
20611Who the mischief is my prospective father- in- law?
20611Whom-- whom are you going down with?
20611Why did n''t you tell me before?
20611Why do you ask?
20611Why do you call her your little protégée?
20611Why in the name of mischief should I do that?
20611Why is it that no one in the world understands,he cried,"what Germany wants?
20611Why may not I form a harmless unit of it?
20611Why not, indeed? 20611 Why not, indeed?"
20611Why not? 20611 Why not?"
20611Why should America know of our ultimate aims?
20611Why should I not come to Monte Carlo?
20611Will he go?
20611Will our friend take this very reasonable hint and depart?
20611Will you allow me to get it changed for you?
20611Will you forgive me if I talk without reserve for a few moments?
20611Will you kindly explain your presence here at once, sir?
20611Will you tell me why you refuse my offer?
20611Wonderful evening, is n''t it?
20611You are Mr. Richard Lane, is it not so, monsieur?
20611You are n''t going to tell me that he is dead?
20611You are not going to play? 20611 You are not leaving Monte Carlo at present, then, Sir Henry?"
20611You are not playing?
20611You are offering us no explanation?
20611You are sure this is the man?
20611You do n''t anticipate any scrapping, or anything of that sort?
20611You do n''t know her?
20611You do n''t know yet, then?
20611You do n''t mind if I sit down?
20611You do not mean that you will persist after what I have told you?
20611You do resent it still, then?
20611You find difficulties?
20611You had my note, Henry?
20611You have been losing?
20611You have n''t told me yet,he added,"how the game went last night?"
20611You have something more to say, have n''t you?
20611You knew, of course, that they were engaged?
20611You mean that they have eloped?
20611You mean that you are threatened with assassination?
20611You mean the Grand Duke Augustus?
20611You mean to say that Mr. Draconmeyer wrote that order-- that he wanted to get possession of your letters?
20611You mean,he asked, dropping his voice a little,"that it is finished?"
20611You mean,she faltered,"that you will not come?
20611You remember our talk last night?
20611You still up?
20611You suspect me, then? 20611 You think they have no suspicion about the roof?"
20611You want to borrow some money?
20611You will send this off from Cannes with your own, Briston?
20611You would n''t believe that I was a fatalist, would you? 20611 You wouldn''t-- you could n''t drive down with us, could you?"
20611You''ll do everything you can, doctor?
20611You''ll excuse me, wo n''t you?
20611You''ll take me away this morning?
20611You''re sure it did n''t inconvenience you?
20611You''re sure that Douaille is coming himself?
20611Your good fortune continues, I hope?
20611A scene like this,"she added, glancing around,"would scarcely ever be likely to attract you for its own sake, would it?"
20611Are n''t you up rather early this morning?"
20611Are you alone?"
20611Are you going to ask your husband?"
20611Are you here in Monte Carlo to look after your wife, or in search of change of air and scene?
20611Are you plotting to dethrone the Prince of Monaco and take his place?"
20611Are you sure that you did not come here to spy upon me?"
20611Are you used to winning_ en plein_ like that?"
20611Are you waiting for Felicia Roche?"
20611Briston?"
20611But can you tell me, Monsieur the Commissioner, how it was possible for a man to stab himself from the shoulder downwards through the heart?"
20611But what about Linda?"
20611By the by, you''ve nothing about the place, I suppose, if you should be raided?"
20611By the way, whom shall you send to report our little conference to- night?
20611Ca n''t I go in just for a moment?"
20611Ca n''t have happened that you boarded the wrong boat, eh?"
20611Ca n''t you even be safe in your room for five minutes without keeping one of those little articles under your newspaper while you read your letters?"
20611Can you be brave, madame?"
20611Can you come up later-- say at one o''clock?"
20611Can you talk seriously?"
20611Could n''t I have a week''s holiday?
20611Could n''t we fix a date, Dick?"
20611Could she be of any service?
20611Did you know that we were here?"
20611Did you notice how his eyes lit up when I whispered that one word''Egypt''?
20611Do I obtrude them upon you even now?
20611Do n''t you see what it means, Simpson?
20611Do you care to stroll that way?"
20611Do you indeed wish to invade England?"
20611Do you know that this is the first time I have played since I have been in Monte Carlo?"
20611Do you know that your face was one great beam when I came in?"
20611Do you mind being paid now?
20611Do you think it is known yet?"
20611Do you think that I should be a severe creditor?"
20611Do you wish me to understand that you have been at Bordighera and San Remo all that time?"
20611Does n''t it matter that a man has given you his whole heart, however slight a thing it may seem to you?
20611Draconmeyer?"
20611Draconmeyer?"
20611Draconmeyer?"
20611Draconmeyer?"
20611Even then, do you suppose, Herr Selingman, that it would be an easy matter to destroy the British Navy?"
20611GREX?"
20611Grex?"
20611Grex?"
20611Grex?"
20611Grex?"
20611Had he ever explained the matter fully and carefully enough to her?
20611Had he really been too much engrossed in his work?
20611Had he, by any chance, arrived to take part in it?
20611Had it been his fault?
20611Has Harris been bothering you, or did you lose a lot of money last night?"
20611Has anything happened?"
20611Has your solitary day depressed you?"
20611Have a cigarette?
20611Have you come direct from England?"
20611Have you-- left any word for him?"
20611Henry was just going, were n''t you?"
20611Here am I, craving for nothing so much on earth as the sympathy, the affection of-- shall I say such a woman as you?
20611Hope I''m not boring you?"
20611How did your wife do last night?
20611How is Linda this morning?"
20611How much have you got on you?"
20611I am a bit useful to you now and then, are n''t I?"
20611I am practically free of his room but what''s the good?
20611I came to see if you felt disposed for a motor ride this morning?"
20611I have invited you to escort me anywhere you will-- I, your wife.... Shall we go?"
20611I hope that you will dine with us to- night?
20611I only hope, Dick, that she is--""She is what?"
20611I shall try my luck with your money?"
20611I suppose you are not in the least used to the free and easy ways of us Westerners, but you''ll come and have some tea with us, wo n''t you?"
20611I suppose you know every one?"
20611I suppose you know everybody?"
20611I suppose,"he added,"I shall have to do him the courtesy of asking his permission, but--""But what?"
20611I want to know why you showed me that forged letter?"
20611I wonder what time it is?"
20611If I were free to go, I should not hesitate for a single second.... Ca n''t you trust me, Violet?"
20611If there is no one else, tell me, why there should n''t be the slightest chance for me?
20611If you are so sure of success, why could n''t you choose a cleaner way to it than by tampering with our ally?"
20611In love with a fair unknown, are you, Dick?
20611In plain words, what do you want with me?"
20611In what respect?
20611Is it likely that he could have any business whatever to transact for the Government in Monte Carlo?
20611Is it my fault that you owe me money?"
20611Is n''t a humiliation for her when she does stop to think of it?
20611Is n''t that the truth, now, honestly?"
20611Is that so?"
20611Is that your honest motive for being here?
20611Is there any one of the men of your country whom you have met, whom you want to marry?"
20611Is this an elopement act or what?"
20611Is your brain working?
20611Kind of a blithering idiot, eh?
20611Lane?"
20611Makes one feel quite homesick, eh?
20611May I not remind you that you are not alone in your sorrows?
20611Monsieur desires my address?
20611My name is Hugot?
20611No one else stabbed?
20611Now ca n''t you tell me something about the affair?"
20611One speaks quite plainly, I imagine, before our friend the enemy?"
20611Please tell me why not?"
20611Please try and be yourself, wo n''t you?"
20611Say, are you English, or French, or what?"
20611Say, may I make a rather impertinent remark, Sir Henry?"
20611Say, what are you going to do about it, Sir Henry?"
20611See?
20611Shall I be too inquisitive if I ask you once more what in the name of all that is unsuitable brought you to such a place as Monte Carlo?"
20611Shall we see you at the Club or in the rooms later?"
20611Sir Henry,"she added suddenly,"did I see Lady Hunterleys to- day on the Terrace?"
20611Sit with me for half- an- hour, and then perhaps you could give me some supper?"
20611Supposing I were to offer my services as an intermediary?
20611Supposing he threw up his work and let things take their course?
20611Surely, though, you do n''t find the Italian Riviera very amusing?"
20611Tell me again, you are sure that there is no one?"
20611Tell me exactly what it is you want me to do?"
20611Tell me how you first heard of the affair?"
20611Tell me once more-- you got my note, the one I wrote this evening?"
20611Tell me, are you hungry?"
20611Tell me, do you really mean to go on with this attempt of yours to- night?"
20611Tell me, do you think that I could help with Sir Henry?"
20611Tell me, my co- guardian, how you are going to excuse yourself?"
20611That, however, I could scarcely expect, considering--""Considering what?"
20611There is n''t anything likely to bring trouble upon-- them, is there?"
20611There is something else in your life-- you have some other feeling about this man Hunterleys''death?"
20611This is the man they told me was my husband?"
20611Violet, ca n''t you give me as much as this?"
20611Was he wise, after all, to risk everything?
20611Was it resignation, consent, or was it simply the armour of normal resistance in which she had clothed herself?
20611Was it wise, in any case, to pursue the subject further?
20611Was that Simpson who came by the Luxe this morning?"
20611Was this man by his side merely a jealous husband, or had he any idea of the greater game which was being played around them?
20611We''ll lunch across at Ciro''s, eh?
20611Well?"
20611What I mean is, could there possibly be anything to keep him in this place which for political reasons he could n''t tell me about?"
20611What about a round of golf at La Turbie?
20611What am I to do if you send me away?
20611What are they up to, anyway?
20611What are you doing here?"
20611What are you going to do?"
20611What are you going to do?"
20611What can he have to write about?
20611What did you want, Henry?"
20611What do they want to get rid of us for?
20611What do you pay, Monsieur le Gros, and for how long do you wish him out of the way?"
20611What do you say?
20611What do you want with me?
20611What does Sidney say about it?"
20611What does it mean, I wonder?
20611What does it mean?"
20611What does she think of that, I wonder?
20611What have you against Hunterleys?"
20611What inference was he to draw?
20611What is it that you want done?
20611What is it that you wish from me?"
20611What is the nature of these enquiries of yours?"
20611What is your object, Herr Selingman?
20611What more natural than revenge?
20611What more natural than that the Wolves should revenge themselves upon the man who captured one of their leaders?
20611What on earth do you mean when you say that you can not leave Monte Carlo?"
20611What place could suit us better?"
20611What then?"
20611What will they say, those who suspect us, if they see us drinking tea and eating many cakes together?
20611What you mean to say, then, is that your father has some one up his sleeve whom he''ll trot out for you before long?"
20611What''s happening, Dick?"
20611What''s that?"
20611When I arrive at some one who does, that will be the first step, wo n''t it?"
20611Where are you going to stake your money?"
20611Where do you think you are, anyway?"
20611Where had he been with Richard Lane?
20611Where''s your man?"
20611Who gave you this roving commission, eh?
20611Who is the quarry?"
20611Who is this Mr. Grex, anyway?"
20611Who sent you to talk common sense to the Balkan States, and how the mischief did you get wind of our little meeting here?"
20611Who wants a ruined France?
20611Who was he?"
20611Who''s the French Johnny who arrived last night?"
20611Why do I find it locked against me?"
20611Why do I find my room closed and this gendarme outside?"
20611Why do you ask?"
20611Why not here?
20611Why not?
20611Why not?
20611Why should we not substitute it for the yacht your master imagines that he is hiring?
20611Why should we pretend that there is any more interesting subject to men like ourselves, in whom is placed the trust of our country?"
20611Why should we, too, not speak of fateful things?"
20611Why should you sacrifice yourself for her?"
20611Why should you suppose that you can come along and cut them all out?"
20611Will you be good enough to give me five minutes''conversation?"
20611Will you come?"
20611Will you do so?
20611Will you give me a chance?"
20611Will you have some tea with us?"
20611Will you please be very kind, Violet, and not ask me too much about this?
20611Will you tell me the truth?
20611Wo n''t you be brave, Fedora?
20611Wo n''t you come and sit down for a few minutes?"
20611Wo n''t you go now?
20611Wo n''t you please go now?"
20611Wo n''t you try and forget that you have lost a few pennies; forget, also, your other worries, whatever they may be?
20611Would they shine as brightly for her, she wondered, in twenty- four hours''time?
20611Would you like some money?
20611Would you object to driving with me-- say as far as Mentone and back?"
20611Yes, is that the enquiry office?
20611Yet what could I do?
20611Yet what did passivity mean?
20611You are Richard Lane, are n''t you?
20611You are fortunate this afternoon, I trust?"
20611You are going to sing again, are n''t you?"
20611You are n''t a queen, are you, or anything of that sort?"
20611You are not, I presume, alone here?"
20611You are quite sure that you will not change?"
20611You are sure that Mr. Grex has never seen this yacht?"
20611You are, perhaps, a stranger to civilised society?"
20611You can surely leave a place or not at your own will?"
20611You could n''t clear out for a little time,"he suggested,"both of you?
20611You do n''t know much of the world, do you?
20611You do n''t suppose that by any chance she imagined-- that you came to see me?"
20611You do n''t want her to break down, do you?"
20611You doubt my integrity?"
20611You have found out Draconmeyer, we have checkmated Mr. Grex, I have drunk the health of Felicia and David Briston--""Felicia and David Briston?"
20611You have n''t minded-- what I''ve said?"
20611You have received no indication of that, I suppose?"
20611You know Sir Henry Hunterleys, do n''t you?"
20611You understand my orders exactly, captain?"
20611You understand what I mean?"
20611You wo n''t send David after him?"
20611You won''t-- you wo n''t rob me of everything in life, will you?
20611You would like to bring about better relations with my country, would you not, Sir Henry?
20611You would n''t care to come yourself, would you?"
20611You''ve nothing to tell me, I suppose, as to how he met with his wound?"
20611Your husband does n''t come into the rooms much?"
20611what is that I see?"
27705Ai n''t it a real fine one? 27705 And Lola?"
27705And also the pretty daughter?
27705And are you actually going?
27705And have you had Lady Teesdale''s letter?
27705And his hand?
27705And what are you doing here, pray?
27705And what are your intentions?
27705And what followed?
27705And what is that?
27705And what is the game?
27705And when I meet this Mr. Houston,I asked,"what then?"
27705And you acted upon her suggestion?
27705And you can drive a Rolls?
27705Are you certain, Rudolph,one of the men was saying,"that this new chauffeur of yours is the man for the job?"
27705Are you sure that was the number?
27705Because-- well, because I ca n''t bear to be here with the glaring truth ever before me-- that I----"What do you mean?
27705But I wonder why she has asked me?
27705But are you quite certain?
27705But did he?
27705But have you no means whatever of raising the money?
27705But her husband, the Marquis? 27705 But what game are we going to play to- night?"
27705But what has been taken?
27705But where are they?
27705But where are we going?
27705But why do you ask the question in that tone? 27705 But you will stay here over the week- end, wo n''t you, dear?"
27705Can we go? 27705 Did you send for me, sir?"
27705Do you care for me in the least?
27705Do you know a friend of your father, an old man named Tarrant?
27705Do you know it?
27705Do you think Madame knows anything of your mission here?
27705Do you wish to charge this Chink?
27705Father does n''t somehow like strangers, does he?
27705For what?
27705Have I ever made a mistake in summing up a man?
27705Have you any idea who Mr. Lloyd may be?
27705Have you heard of a man named Hauser? 27705 Have you seen him?"
27705How are you to- day? 27705 How do you know?"
27705How sinister plans?
27705How?
27705How?
27705How?
27705I have the honor to meet Signor Rayne?
27705I hope you had a nice time at Biarritz, eh? 27705 I suppose your mother engineered that?"
27705I wonder who he is?
27705I wonder why we are visiting these people?
27705If you want to steal the woman''s pearls why do n''t you do it yourself?
27705Is everything ready?
27705Is the old fellow actually leaving also? 27705 Is there any message?"
27705Lady Norah would n''t like to see her treasures in such a condition, would she?
27705Let''s dance later on-- shall we?
27705Let''s hope the old boy will sleep comfortably, eh?
27705Me?
27705Mr. George Hargreave?
27705Of what?
27705Oh-- why?
27705Or is it Cottingham?
27705Or shall I fade out, and let her learn the worst after I''m gone? 27705 Shall I tell her?"
27705Sing?
27705Spain, then? 27705 Surely you will go and see him in London?"
27705Tarrant-- Morley Tarrant?
27705Tell me, Old Thing, what''s the matter?
27705Tell me, Otley-- if you know nothing of this affair-- why, then, did you leave Hawstead so suddenly?
27705That Mr. Hargreave? 27705 The war is over, you are prospering immensely-- so what on earth causes you to worry?"
27705Then Hauser may be a receiver of stolen jewels, eh?
27705Then the day after?
27705Then there is a specific reason why we should not stay at the same hotel, eh?
27705Then we''ll break our journey at San Sebastian, eh?
27705Then why not try Italy? 27705 Then you fear me-- eh?"
27705Then you will follow, of course? 27705 They remembered me, of course?"
27705To London-- why?
27705To the detriment of our unsuspecting guest, eh?
27705We''ve finished here, eh?
27705Wednesday at six-- eh? 27705 Well, and what of it?"
27705Well? 27705 Well?
27705Well?
27705Well?
27705What about your friend Elsie?
27705What do you mean?
27705What do you suggest?
27705What do you threaten?
27705What in the world are you doing here?
27705What kind of mission?
27705What message have you for me?
27705What news?
27705What rubbish are you talking?
27705What was that?
27705What''s been the matter?
27705What''s in the wind?
27705When are you going to Spain?
27705When will your father be back, do you think?
27705When?
27705When?
27705Where shall he write to in order to make an appointment?
27705Who is he?
27705Who is he?
27705Who''s that man?
27705Why are we on this visit? 27705 Why do you ask, dear?"
27705Why do you suspect that?
27705Why in the name of Fate did the old fool bring her here?
27705Why not?
27705Why not?
27705Why should father wish you to watch the Marchesa so narrowly? 27705 Why should your father have as friend a man who robs a bank, eh?"
27705Why the dickens does he want to know if I sing?
27705Why? 27705 Why?"
27705Why?
27705Why?
27705Why?
27705Why?
27705Will you leave it all to me?
27705Will you repeat that?
27705Wo n''t it be fun, Lola?
27705You do not suspect the Admiral?
27705You have listened in secret, eh?
27705You really mean-- you really mean that you love me-- eh?
27705You''ll order a drink and pay for mine, eh?
27705You''re Mr. Hargreave, are n''t you?
27705You''ve seen in the papers, I suppose, all about the pearls of the Princess di Acquanero?
27705A few days later when in the evening I was chatting with Mayhew at the hotel, he said:"What have you been up to, Hargreave?
27705Across the table at luncheon, Rayne suddenly asked me:"You know Italy well-- don''t you, Hargreave?"
27705Am I to report that to Duperré-- that you refuse?"
27705An alibi?
27705And if I, in turn, gave information against him, what could I really prove?
27705And in what circumstances?"
27705And my love was, I believed, reciprocated, but how could I admit my shameful compact with her father?
27705And wo n''t the fur fly then, eh?"
27705And yet was not Zuccari a frequent visitor at the Palazzo Romanelli, for it was there I had first met him?
27705And you know the other ornaments I have-- which I might very well never have seen again, eh?"
27705Are you an idiot?"
27705Are you quite certain of it?"
27705Are you sad that we should meet here-- in Paris?"
27705As we walked out into the sunlight of the boulevard, Duperré glanced at his watch, and exclaimed:"I wonder if we shall be in time to catch the train?
27705At what time?"
27705Back all right, eh?"
27705Before doing so, the girl said:"What about next Wednesday?
27705Blumenfeld?"
27705But how many of us can completely master our moods, our impulses and our emotions on all occasions?
27705But if actually a prince, why did he carry a passport?
27705But let''s get away, Hargreave-- back to London, I think, do n''t you?"
27705But surely the banker Zuccari could not be a crook?
27705But what had really occurred, I wondered?
27705But what was the real object of my mission?
27705But why and how, I wondered, had Lola''s suspicions been aroused?
27705But why are we meeting her?"
27705But why should I be sent to meet the mysterious hunchback Tarrant on Clifton Bridge?
27705But why was Peggy there?
27705But why, I wondered, was Lola so palpably beneath her influence?
27705But why?
27705But would it further infuriate her?
27705Can you never reciprocate my affection?"
27705Can you sing?"
27705Could it be because they feared they were being watched?
27705Could it be that the suit- case contained stolen jewelry and not documents?
27705Could such a wealthy patriotic woman, whose husband is one of Italy''s most famous admirals, possibly be anything other than honest and upright?"
27705Did he tell you?"
27705Did she know of my connection with"The Golden Face"?
27705Did you notice if he had any deformity?"
27705Do not refuse me-- will you?"
27705Do you know where we''re going?"
27705Does he know nothing?"
27705Glorious bright weather all through our foggy season-- Rome or Florence, for instance?"
27705Had a nice time-- eh?"
27705Hargreave?"
27705Hargreave?"
27705Hargreave?"
27705Hargreave?"
27705Hargreave?"
27705Have n''t you seen her wearing her pearls?"
27705Have you in these past few days met a bald- headed Italian named Luigi Gori?
27705He might have succeeded had he made the hump on his back a hard one, eh?"
27705How can she concern him?
27705How could I without revealing the secret of her father?
27705How do you know all this?"
27705How, I wonder, did he know that I had sent you to Sofia?
27705How?"
27705I hope you''re not a business man?"
27705I knew that the broken gold was safely at the bottom of the Seine, but where were the gems?
27705I laughed, and said:"Then if not, why may I not be permitted to look inside your husband''s family heirloom?"
27705I put out my arm, and peering into the man''s face, asked:"Is there nothing else, eh?"
27705I suppose you''ve got your sleeping berths from Paris to- night?"
27705I wonder how he got to know that you were meeting him?
27705I-- I do hope you will take care of yourself-- won''t you?"
27705If Duperré had taken them, how had he got rid of them?
27705If he wo n''t pay up, well, we are none the worse off, are we?"
27705If so, what was the motive of his close association with the Marchesa Romanelli?
27705If you are staying in the neighborhood could you call again at noon to- morrow, when we will go further into this tangled affair?
27705Larroca?"
27705May I lift the body of the Silver Spider and look inside?"
27705Monsieur Duperré?
27705Mr. Rudolph Rayne, I presume?"
27705My visitor looked me very straight in the face with his searching eyes, and after a moment''s pause, asked:"Is that really your decision?
27705Of course you never mentioned my name-- eh?"
27705Only not a soul must know about it-- you understand?"
27705Peggy was the thief?
27705Rayne?"
27705See, Hargreave?
27705See?"
27705Shall we meet?"
27705She entered merrily, bringing with her a whiff of the latest Paris perfume, and grasping his hand, cried:"Well, are you feeling any happier?"
27705So you are his new chauffeur, eh?"
27705Sounds like a doctor, eh, sir?"
27705Telephone to me in confidence after you''ve been to Ripley, wo n''t you?
27705The air is better in Yorkshire than in London, do n''t you think so, old chap?"
27705Then again he bent towards her and whispered very seriously:"Do you really love me, Peggy?"
27705Then he asked:"Will you not reconsider your decision, Signor Hargreave?
27705Then she said:"Of course you wo n''t breathe a word of what I''ve said, will you?"
27705Then turning to his wife, he said:"Just bring Lu Chang in, will you, Hylda?"
27705Then will you, for her sake, reply to me openly and frankly?
27705Then, a few seconds later, removed them, saying with a queer laugh:"A nice little lot this, eh?
27705Then, after a pause, he added:"Yet-- yet, I wonder----""Wonder what?"
27705Then, for the first time, I found myself wondering what could be these precious documents Rayne had told me the suit- case contained?
27705Then, turning to Lola, he asked:"Would you like to go for a trip to Italy with Madame and Hargreave?"
27705Then, turning to me, he said:"Hargreave, old chap, will you leave for a moment or two?
27705There was a sinister design somewhere, but in what direction?
27705This surprised me until I returned to my hotel to luncheon, when Duperré, meeting me eagerly in the hall, asked:"Well, is the girl going?"
27705To- night?"
27705Understand?"
27705Was it in connection with this incident that I had been sent to Italy to make inquiries?
27705Was she carrying a message to her mother from the famous financier?
27705What can I do to help you?"
27705What can it mean?"
27705What can it mean?"
27705What could be its significance?
27705What could be the reason?
27705What could it be?
27705What did she fear?
27705What do you know of him?"
27705What do you say?"
27705What fresh crooked business could there be in progress?
27705What game was being carried on?
27705What hold could the fellow have upon her?
27705What is it?
27705What mischief was intended?
27705What number is Mr. Rayne''s compartment?"
27705What shall we do to- night?"
27705What was intended?
27705What''s the matter?
27705What, I wondered, was in progress?
27705When?"
27705Where is he?"
27705Where, before, had I heard the first speaker''s voice?
27705Who could know?
27705Whose are they?"
27705Why all this secrecy about the suit- case?
27705Why had she warned me?
27705Why has my father thieves for his friends, unless he is in some way connected with them?"
27705Why not go to Sicily?"
27705Why should you resent?
27705Why was she there?
27705Why?
27705Why?
27705Will you do so?"
27705Will you see the gentleman?"
27705Will you telephone to him?"
27705Wo n''t it be ripping?
27705Yet if she feared me, why should she have asked me, as well as Lola and Madame, to call at the Palazzo Romanelli?
27705Yet was I not in the hands of the police?
27705Yet what could a Chinaman be doing about that house?
27705Yet would not that be a coward''s action?
27705You and I can do it,"he said; and, after a pause, he looked Rayne straight in the face, and asked:"Shall we?
27705You are his secretary, I believe?"
27705You surely can not ignore it?"
27705You surely wo n''t give me away?
27705You understand-- eh?"
27705You understand?"
27705You wanted to sell them, eh?
27705You''d recognize him, would n''t you?"
27705You, as Rayne''s secretary, can not afford to stay at the Ritz, you understand?"
27705Your father never thought that Tai- K''an followed you on your country journey, eh?"
27705what need I care?
27097A dead man?
27097A mistake, how?
27097About how many dollars will she run to the ton?
27097All alone?
27097All right, but what kind? 27097 American turkey, what does he mean?"
27097An old man, half crazy; eh?
27097And it''s from this glen that Bud got his dose of poison gas and where, just now, we got ours; is n''t it?
27097And lose the ranch and the cattle on it?
27097And there were n''t any signs of sudden deaths?
27097And this is where Sam Tarbell''s horse was killed and where Sam was knocked out-- near this glen; was n''t it?
27097And what happened?
27097And what is the danger?
27097And what killed your horse?
27097And, speaking of Chinks, when are we going to get that Celestial cook we talked of?
27097Any chance of getting a yellow man in Los Pompon?
27097Any of what?
27097Anything happen?
27097Anything the matter, Dad?
27097Anything to do with Chinese smuggling?
27097Are you hurt?
27097Are you looking for some one?
27097Are you looking for trouble?
27097Are you sure it''s gold, son?
27097Are you sure of that?
27097Are you the boss?
27097Bad water; eh?
27097Bear what?
27097Big stones?
27097Billee Dobb, is that you?
27097Bridle''s gone; eh?
27097Bullet?
27097But are the masks any good?
27097But ca n''t we do anything, meanwhile, for that poor Chink?
27097But can you tell us anything about the causes for the deaths that have taken place on Dot and Dash ranch?
27097But did n''t you find out what caused all this, Billee?
27097But did you come away, Dad, and leave no one in charge?
27097But did you know it was there?
27097But did you see any of those rustlers, holdup men, or whatever they are, with their gas cylinders?
27097But how is the poison gas generated and how does it come up out of cracks in the earth to kill cattle and knock out our men?
27097But how''d you know we was knocked out?
27097But now we''re out of danger for a while, what''s to be done next?
27097But we ca n''t let the cattle business slide; can we?
27097But what about that soda water cylinder you say they shot at you?
27097But what do you think of him, anyhow?
27097But what in the world for?
27097But what kind of a smell could it be?
27097But what knocked you out?
27097But what was it, then?
27097But what''s he doing?
27097But what''s it all about?
27097But what''s the matter with him?
27097But what''s their game?
27097But what''s your game, anyhow?
27097But what, actually, did happen?
27097But why?
27097But you are n''t going to throw that away; are you?
27097But you did n''t see any signs of him-- or it?
27097Ca n''t we do something to''em?
27097Ca n''t you give him something?
27097Came to leave that-- what is it?
27097Can you come out quick?
27097Could n''t you hold down the job?
27097Death Valley?
27097Death to whom, Billee?
27097Did I scare you?
27097Did I see an old man or did n''t I?
27097Did n''t anybody tell you the local name of the place''fore you took it over?
27097Did n''t you stop to see if those men were still there, and what they were doing?
27097Did the horses smell a bear, do you think?
27097Did they bottle up this stuff you gave such a long name to, Professor, and shoot it out at us?
27097Did those fellows come back and shoot gas at you?
27097Did you know this had happened?
27097Did you see me?
27097Do n''t you want to find out what killed those cattle?
27097Do you know that old man''s name?
27097Do you know this old man-- what did you say his name was?
27097Do you know what caused the deaths?
27097Do you mean a bear?
27097Do you mean they wo n''t come back?
27097Do you mind telling us what happened? 27097 Do you really believe there''s a chance of finding gold in that cave?"
27097Do you really think there''s gold in that cave?
27097Do you see Bud?
27097Do you see that?
27097Do you think it can be done?
27097Do you think that, or the queer old man, had anything to do with the death of these cows?
27097Do you think there''ll be a fight?
27097Do you think these rustlers were responsible for the deaths here in this valley?
27097Do you think those cows were shot?
27097Do you want one of us to chase after that old man?
27097Does n''t he like it here that he''s taking on like this?
27097Dropped that warning?
27097For he helped, did n''t he?
27097Gas masks?
27097Going to try it again, Bud?
27097Gold mine?
27097Got a ticket, little girl?
27097Had n''t the boss better file a claim of discovery?
27097Had n''t we better have sentry- go from now on?
27097Have they been setting off this gas-- or some even worse-- and killing cattle, men and horses?
27097Have you just found it out?
27097He is?
27097Hear something?
27097Hello, what''s this?
27097Horse thieves, eh?
27097How about a knife thrust?
27097How about it, Bud?
27097How about it, Dick?
27097How about it, boys?
27097How about the cattle?
27097How about you, Nort?
27097How are you?
27097How could he have anything to do with Bud staying away all night?
27097How is it, then, Billee,asked Mr. Merkel,"that nothing happened to me?
27097How many deaths were there?
27097How many horses did he get?
27097How much what to the ton?
27097How much what?
27097How was it they could turn a stream of poison gas, or at least knock- out gas, on you, Bud, and not suffer from it themselves?
27097How you goin''to do that?
27097How''d Fah Moo get the Elixer?
27097How''d he get in camp to leave that warning without being seen or heard?
27097How''d you like that mouthful of dust?
27097Hurt? 27097 I wonder if Del Pinzo can be back of this gang?"
27097I wonder if Old Tosh is up there, helping the rustlers?
27097I wonder if he could have had anything to do with it?
27097I wonder if you could tell what those cows died of?
27097I wonder what Bud''s trying to do?
27097I wonder what in the world Bud is trying to do?
27097I wonder what we''ll find?
27097If they''re rustlers why did they just hold Bud a prisoner a while and then light out and not take any stock?
27097If you all leave Diamond X, how''s Slim an''Babe goin''to run things?
27097In the first place what''s your name?
27097In what way?
27097Is it a disappearance?
27097Is that the outfit not far from Los Pompan, near the Mexican border?
27097Is this a joke or are you just stringing me?
27097Just what do you know?
27097Know anything about it?
27097Make anything of it, Billee?
27097Meaning bears, wildcats or other such varmints?
27097Mustard and water; eh?
27097No? 27097 Not if he took three bottles of it?"
27097Poison; eh?
27097Rustlers drive off cattle-- they do n''t kill''em-- what would be the good?
27097Sam Tarbell; eh?
27097See anything there?
27097Send us where?
27097Shall we all go on the round- up?
27097Shall we go back and get that horse doctor, and then bury the dead cows?
27097Shall we stand guard?
27097So the Elixer is only sarsaparilla; is it?
27097So they come back; did they? 27097 Speaking of diggings,"went on Dick,"what do you reckon it was Bud saw those fellows digging out of the sides of the cave?"
27097Stones?
27097Tell me, Billee,resumed Nort,"on what sections of the ranch did most of the deaths occur-- I mean when you worked here?"
27097That outfit?
27097Then the men who thought they had a gold mine in the cave had nothing to do with killing the cattle?
27097Then we did n''t need to do so much worrying?
27097Then what did?
27097Then what happened? 27097 Then what''d you run for?"
27097Then why would you be willing to go back?
27097Then you are n''t a stranger here?
27097Then you bought the new ranch; did you, Dad?
27097This any of your doin''s?
27097This is Death Valley all right; ai n''t it?
27097Throw it away? 27097 To Los Pompan, eh?"
27097Tosh?
27097Warn us of what?
27097Was n''t there?
27097Was this here Dolan anxious to stay?
27097Well, if these fellows, who were found dead, got shot, why was n''t there bullet holes in''em?
27097Well, then,went on Nort,"is n''t it reasonable to suppose that this band-- or some bunch like it-- has been doing this right along?"
27097Well, we''re half way there, I guess, are n''t we, Billee?
27097Well, what do you make of that?
27097Well, what next?
27097Well, would you mind having a look at the bodies?
27097What about standing guard to- night?
27097What about the horses?
27097What are those?
27097What became of Tim Dolan, who was foreman, and all the other punchers?
27097What did he take?
27097What do you mean by coming here trying to scare me?
27097What do you mean, son?
27097What do you mean? 27097 What do you mean?"
27097What do you reckon it could have been to make them bolt so suddenly?
27097What do you reckon those boys are doing, Ma?
27097What do you say, Billee?
27097What do you think we are-- tenderfeet?
27097What else is it? 27097 What else was he?"
27097What else? 27097 What good did it do you to have sentry- go the other nights?"
27097What good would dead ones be to them? 27097 What good would that do?"
27097What happened?
27097What happened?
27097What happened?
27097What happened?
27097What happened?
27097What has become of Bud?
27097What if they use a kind we ca n''t smell until it''s too late?
27097What in the name of Tunket for?
27097What is all this about poison gas in tanks killing cattle?
27097What is it, Fah?
27097What is that stuff?
27097What proof?
27097What say?
27097What thing?
27097What was it then?
27097What you looking at?
27097What you talking to yourself for? 27097 What''ll you do then?"
27097What''s that?
27097What''s that?
27097What''s the best thing to do?
27097What''s the idea?
27097What''s the matter?
27097What''s the matter?
27097What''s the matter?
27097What''s the matter?
27097What''s the next move?
27097What''s the row?
27097What, so soon? 27097 What, that these men had been gassed?
27097What?
27097What?
27097When''ll you be back?
27097Where do you mean?
27097Where do you reckon he is?
27097Where is he-- which way did he go?
27097Where is he? 27097 Where''s a gold mine?"
27097Where''s that outfit heading for?
27097Where?
27097Who are you?
27097Who did it?
27097Who in the world is Fah Moo?
27097Who is he and what about him?
27097Who is he?
27097Who killed him?
27097Who''d do such a thing?
27097Who''s doing all that yelling?
27097Who''s there?
27097Who, me? 27097 Who, me?
27097Who?
27097Who?
27097Why could n''t it have been snakes?
27097Why do n''t you put your full name on your labels?
27097Why do n''t you want to sign on with us?
27097Why not? 27097 Why not?"
27097Why not?
27097Why should they go to the trouble of killing cows? 27097 Why should we go away from here?"
27097Why would n''t he stay?
27097Why, I wonder where Bud is?
27097Why, did n''t the old gazaboo tell us what it was-- Elixer of Life? 27097 Will that save the dead steers-- I mean the steers that seem to be dead?"
27097Will you see if you can get some for us?
27097Wonder what he came for, anyhow?
27097Wonder what their game is?
27097You are n''t getting my new Dot and Dash ranch mixed up with Death Valley in the Panamint Mountains of California; are you?
27097You did n''t see anything; did you, Dick?
27097You do n''t imagine he had anything to do with scaring our horses; do you?
27097You do? 27097 You drink all that?"
27097You mean about mysterious deaths?
27097You mean being knocked out like you was dead?
27097You mean do I have any suspicions against him?
27097You mean he drunk all that Elixer?
27097You mean old Tosh?
27097You mean the series of deaths?
27097You say you saw those men digging away in the cave, cracking rocks and the like of that?
27097You thought maybe he''d been overcome by it?
27097You''ll do what?
27097And as he supported himself on one hand, while with the other he reached for his fallen gun, he murmured:"Who are you and what happened?"
27097And then he remembered and added:"You mean on account of possible deaths?"
27097Anybody home?"
27097Are you with me, boys?"
27097But after what happened to you----""Just what did happen?"
27097But roughly about how much do you think our mine will assay to the ton?"
27097But what about the horses, cattle and men who were killed here in Death Valley?
27097But what happened here?"
27097But what makes you think we''ll be safe here, Snake?"
27097But where is Star?"
27097But why not bury the bodies, Bud?"
27097CHAPTER IV A NIGHT ALARM"Well, Dick, how they coming?"
27097CHAPTER X DEAD CATTLE"What''s the idea?"
27097Can you tell us anything about those rascals with their tanks of gas?"
27097Could n''t it happen that way?"
27097Did I hear you boys say you caught him in a cave?"
27097Did n''t you know there was gold there?"
27097Did these fellows have anything to do with that?"
27097Did you come to our camp and leave that note?"
27097Did you shoot''em up?"
27097Do you know him, Billee?"
27097Do you mean----?"
27097Either of you notice any smell?"
27097Go out there with you if your Pa thinks he''ll let you?
27097Gold''s what we want; ai n''t it?"
27097How did you get here, and what''s he doing here?"
27097How is it Death Valley did n''t get me, Billee?"
27097How?"
27097I do n''t reckon he could''a''been your brother; could he?"
27097I wonder if he can do it?
27097I''ll put up with my loss, and----""Did you pay much for the new ranch, Dad?"
27097Is that what you asted me?"
27097Only where are we going to get them?"
27097So he calls it Life''s Elixer; does he?"
27097Sufferin''horned toads, what you want to do that for?"
27097That''s the right way to express it; ai n''t it?"
27097The place was sold, and you say your dad bought it?"
27097Then he went on with:"It''s in a valley; ai n''t it, Boss?"
27097Then those fellows, with their gas tanks, did n''t have anything to do with killing our cattle?"
27097Those here before you would n''t listen to me, and what happened to them?
27097We found you stretched out and----""Sort of took me for dead; did n''t you?"
27097We''re not afraid; are we?"
27097What do you know about that?"
27097What do you mean?"
27097What do you mean?"
27097What do you think caused the deaths?"
27097What else could it be?"
27097What for?"
27097What happened to them?"
27097What secrets did it hold?
27097What you think I am, anyhow?"
27097What''s the name got to do with it?"
27097What''s to prevent a ledge or seam of gold from running up into these hills, or small mountains, and cropping out in that cave?
27097What''s to prevent?"
27097What, then, was the explanation of the former mysterious deaths?
27097Where''d you get it?"
27097Who died there, and how come?"
27097Who do you think they were-- I mean what sort of scamps?"
27097Who''ll volunteer?"
27097Why did n''t I think of it before?"
27097Why did n''t you call me first, Dick?"
27097Why did n''t you wake me, Dick?"
27097Why does n''t that gang fight like men if they want to give battle-- not spray their dirty poison gas around dumb beasts?"
27097Why else would those fellows want to keep us out?
27097Wonder how they worked the game, anyhow?"
27097Wonder if there''s anything in it?"
27097You do n''t mind; do you?"
27097You say you have gas masks?
27097asked Bud, while Dick inquired:"Did he have anything to do with knocking you out?"
20630A close man, eh?
20630A cratch?--what''s that?
20630About his habits, now?
20630Ah!--then you''ll have been seeing a good deal of Kitely lately?
20630Ah, and why does n''t he?
20630Ah, who indeed?
20630All done in one action, d''ye see, Cotherstone?
20630And how do you like Highmarket, now you''ve had a spell of it?
20630And how do you mean?
20630And nothing was found?
20630And the other man-- the tall man in grey clothes, who has a slightly grey beard-- you did n''t know him?
20630And them costs, now, and the expenses-- how much do they come to, Chris?
20630And then-- are you going away?
20630And there''s her nephew with her, now-- been here for a week? 20630 And this is an accurate report of what happened?"
20630And what brings you here, anyway? 20630 And what do you think of that?"
20630And what do you think?
20630And what good might it all amount to?
20630And what might you have been doing with Mr. Brereton since he got down yesterday?
20630And who did kill him, then?
20630And whose money might that be?
20630And you come originally from-- where in Sussex?
20630And you have been here-- how long?
20630And you say they went away in the direction of Hexendale?
20630And you wo n''t say that word?
20630And your father?
20630And your partner''s the Mallows?
20630And-- I suppose you want my father to help? 20630 And-- I suppose you''ve no theory, no idea of your own about his murder?"
20630And-- I suppose-- you agreed to make use of it?
20630Any connection with that well- known firm?
20630Any signs of his having been robbed?
20630Are n''t you well?
20630Are you suggesting, all of you that you think Miss Pett murdered Kitely?
20630Asking him to bring the will?
20630At some time?
20630Aught been done?
20630Aye, he had to go out, had he?
20630Aye? 20630 Aye?"
20630Aye?--and why did one or t''other or both-- have it which way you will-- murder this here old gentleman?
20630Bent first?
20630Besides, if old Mrs. Hamthwaite knows anything, why has n''t she let me know until tonight?
20630Both of you? 20630 Both?
20630But as long as it''s struck somebody, eh? 20630 But did you know that the nephew had already proved the will, and sold the property?
20630But it''s like this, d''you see?--your father, now, does he happen to be at home?
20630But she thought he''d have it on him when he was attacked?
20630But suppose you try to reduce it to practice? 20630 But what are they?"
20630But where are we to find him?
20630But why did you not come forward at once?
20630But why?
20630But you might just tell me this-- has Mr. Kitely ever had any visitors since he came to Highmarket?
20630But-- I''m only suggesting-- you could have paid a long time before that, could n''t you?
20630But-- but might n''t he ha''got that with striking his head against them rocks as he fell?
20630But-- don''t you think that if all else fails the man who wrote this would come forward? 20630 But-- how does anybody start on to them games?"
20630But-- what are we to do?
20630But-- what did you think of him?
20630But-- who?
20630But-- you''ll understand that I''d like to know how all this affects my client?
20630By a credible-- and creditable-- witness?
20630Can you go there now?
20630Can you prove that it was?
20630Can you tell aught about this, ma''am?
20630Can your Worship step across the way?
20630Can''t-- can''t you suggest anything?
20630Christopher Pett!--whatever are you talking about? 20630 Come, now-- have you got anything to suggest as to how you can be helped?"
20630D''ye make aught out of it, doctor? 20630 D''ye think I could mistake him?
20630D''ye think I''d let it get out?
20630D''ye think I''m a fool? 20630 Damn it, d''ye think I have n''t noticed it?
20630Dead?
20630Did he go walking on the Shawl every night?
20630Did he lose his temper, too?
20630Did n''t your estimable female relative, as you call her, say that I suggested she might be the guilty person?
20630Did you ever hear him say what would become of it at his death?
20630Did you gain no idea of it? 20630 Did you witness it?"
20630Do n''t I?
20630Do n''t you think his clothing looks as if he had been robbed?
20630Do they think I''m going to run away? 20630 Do they think he did it?"
20630Do you know anything about Mr. Kitely''s relations?
20630Do you know if Mr. Kitely ever made a will?
20630Do you know that this woman''s leaving the town tomorrow?
20630Do you know the contents of that will?
20630Do you know where it is?
20630Do you know why Kitely was killed?
20630Do you know why Mr. Kitely came here?
20630Do you mean to tell me that she''d kill old Kitely just to get possession of the bit he had to leave?
20630Do you now? 20630 Do you propose to communicate the contents of the late Mr. Kitely''s will to us?"
20630Do you really suspect her?
20630Do you really tell me that the only reason you had for warning him against going out late at night was-- instinct?
20630Do you really think that any man who was in possession of his senses would do such a thing? 20630 Do you think he had property-- money-- to leave to anybody?"
20630Do you want to know where?
20630Does n''t it say here that he was treasurer?
20630Does she live with him?
20630Famous case that, sir?
20630For why, pray?--and why here?
20630Found anything?
20630Fresh stuff, eh?
20630Glad to see you, sir-- always glad to see anybody with a bit of money, eh? 20630 Glad you''ve come-- and I daresay you''re wondering why you''ve been sent for?
20630Going in for that line, eh?
20630Got settled down, I suppose, now?
20630Had anybody any motive? 20630 Had n''t we better reckon up my costs and commission first?"
20630Has something happened him? 20630 Have you anything to go on?"
20630Have you come down with him from London?
20630Have you formed any ideas or theories?
20630Have you got any more to say?
20630Have you let him know of Mr. Kitely''s death?
20630Have you made aught out of it?
20630Have you seen any reason for it?
20630He was never visited by anybody claiming to be a relation?
20630He''s the lawyer- gentleman who''s defending my father-- you wo n''t mind speaking before him, will you?
20630Here? 20630 How are you sure that this was the evening of the murder?"
20630How could you tell?
20630How do you know he''s murdered?
20630How long since is that?
20630How much did you sell for?
20630How old?
20630How''s that to be done?
20630I can look at you or at any other, in any way I like, ca n''t I? 20630 I gather from that that you have been doing some private inquiry work, then?"
20630I guess you''ve heard about the discovery? 20630 I should have to make it clear that I''d naught to do with that particular matter, d''ye see?
20630I suppose you took a look round?
20630I suppose you''ve heard all about it?
20630I wonder if the old man really thought I should be interested in his scrap- book?
20630I-- what''s up?
20630If we could just look round his shed, now?
20630If-- if he''s killed? 20630 In connexion with what, now?"
20630Is Major Stilman alive?
20630Is he alone?--or is Miss Pett with him?
20630Is he to be trusted?
20630Is it a sort of hurdle?
20630Is it a sure thing?
20630Is it this bit of good news?
20630Is n''t that his daughter coming towards us?
20630Is that you, father?
20630Is there aught amiss?
20630It is all very annoying, of course, but then it is quite simple, is n''t it? 20630 Kitely?
20630Like to come?
20630Mistaken? 20630 Mr. Gifford Brereton?"
20630Murder? 20630 Never heard him speak of anybody who was likely to cherish revenge, eh?"
20630Never mentioned it to you?
20630No weapons, eh?
20630Not for----he paused, nodding his head towards the front of the cottage where the wood lay"--not for-- that?
20630Not likely to let things out, I suppose?
20630Now then-- what about this plan of yours? 20630 Now, how far is it to this old woman''s cottage?"
20630Now, what do you know of this man Harborough?
20630Of course, girls think such a lot of-- of all the accompaniments, eh?
20630Of course, you''ve got something in your mind, sergeant?
20630Oh, indeed, sir?
20630Oh, you''re still here?
20630Oh?
20630Oh?
20630One sort of gets pitchforked into these things, you know, so----"What''s that?
20630Private? 20630 See anything that suggested a struggle?
20630Shot?
20630Showing him round, of course?
20630Since-- what?
20630So here you are, Brereton-- and this young lady, I suppose, is Miss Harborough?
20630So that''s the line you''re taking?
20630So you''re interested in criminal matters, sir?
20630So you''ve heard, too, I suppose? 20630 Some time ago, or lately?"
20630Something special, sir? 20630 Stoner not come?"
20630Supposing we do square him?--is there any reliance to be placed on him then? 20630 Take them?"
20630Taking your walks alone, eh? 20630 That is, as far as you can see at a glance?"
20630That it?
20630The poor man that was murdered? 20630 Then you told Mallalieu?"
20630Then-- you''ve seen him?
20630There''s no doubt about it?
20630These cords are of considerable length, are n''t they?
20630They said-- could they see you and Mr. Brereton for half an hour, on business?
20630Think I''m a mean''un, what?
20630This housekeeper, now?--is she the sort who''ll take it quietly?
20630This pocket- book?
20630To start with, how much chance is there that they''d ever think of coming here? 20630 Tomorrow, you say?
20630Tracked us down?
20630Two thousand pounds?
20630Understand what?
20630Was he out longer than usual tonight?
20630Was n''t he a tenant of yours?
20630Well, and what''s all this, now?
20630Well, and why not?
20630Well, how much, then?
20630Well, if you want to know, he was a Major Stilman, a retired officer-- though what that has----"Where did Major Stilman live?
20630Well, what?
20630Well-- and what about getting me away?
20630Well-- and what then?
20630Well?
20630Well?
20630Well?
20630Well?
20630Well?
20630Well?
20630Well?
20630Well?
20630Well?
20630Well?
20630What about it?
20630What about it?
20630What about?
20630What are we to start on?
20630What are you doing? 20630 What did I tell you?"
20630What do you advise, then?
20630What do you mean to do?
20630What do you mean?
20630What do you mean?
20630What do you propose to do?
20630What do you think about it?
20630What do you think of that, now?
20630What does it look like? 20630 What else could it be?"
20630What else should he do? 20630 What find?"
20630What information? 20630 What is it you want?"
20630What is it?
20630What is it?
20630What is it?
20630What is it?
20630What is there against me? 20630 What is there to be got out of him if he''s flying from justice?
20630What is there tomorrow?
20630What is your nephew''s name and address?
20630What is your theory?
20630What of him?
20630What on earth does he want me for? 20630 What reason had you for warning him?"
20630What should he be desperate about?
20630What sort of a clue?
20630What sort of chap is this Tallington?
20630What then?
20630What time would that be, like? 20630 What way?"
20630What''re you showing me that bit o''paper for? 20630 What''s Popsie say?"
20630What''s Popsie say?
20630What''s he got to say, like?
20630What''s that doing here?
20630What''s the matter with him?
20630What''s to be done, then?
20630What, man? 20630 What?"
20630What?
20630Whatever it was, he retired from it eventually?
20630When?
20630Where are they?
20630Where did you first come to him-- where did he live then?
20630Where is Hexendale?
20630Where is he, like?
20630Where is it?
20630Where''s the money?
20630Where''s this we''re going now?
20630Where, then?
20630Where?
20630Which of them is it, then?
20630Which way did you come, this time?
20630Who are you?
20630Who are you?
20630Who is he?
20630Who is that?
20630Who knows anything about him? 20630 Who was he?"
20630Who''s asking you for your tongue? 20630 Who''s throwing brass round in that free- handed fashion?
20630Who, then?
20630Whose brass can it be, Popsie?
20630Whose money is it, then?
20630Whose, then?
20630Why does n''t he come forward and prove it, then?
20630Why me particularly? 20630 Why not?
20630Why not?
20630Why? 20630 Why?"
20630Why?
20630Why?
20630Will it be worth it?
20630Will it come to aught?
20630Windle,she said, as quietly as if she were asking the most casual of questions,"would n''t it upset all your arrangements for next year?
20630Wo n''t all this give the girl a fright?
20630Word good?
20630Would n''t he tell you?
20630Would n''t it be better if somebody went quietly to the man''s cottage?
20630Would they?
20630Yes-- and where, in London?
20630Yes?
20630Yes?
20630You ca n''t very well choke the life out of me in your own office, can you? 20630 You could n''t be mistaken?"
20630You did n''t know I was raking up everything I could get hold of about my forbears, did you? 20630 You did n''t notice any suspicious characters come to your station that afternoon or evening?"
20630You did n''t see anybody else going that way across the moors, did you? 20630 You do n''t know what he wants to see me about?"
20630You do n''t say so?
20630You feel certain? 20630 You feel sure that it is all right now about my father?"
20630You have been with him, as housekeeper, nearly ten years-- continuously?
20630You have n''t been to him?
20630You have n''t mentioned this to a soul?
20630You have some yourself?
20630You know that Kitely was present at that trial?
20630You know what you said about that electric torch notion this afternoon, sir?
20630You know what you''re talking about?
20630You mean-- through the police?
20630You never know-- hullo, what''s this?
20630You noticed that?
20630You saw Mallalieu fell Stoner? 20630 You saw him?"
20630You say Harborough saw Kitely take his money?
20630You say all''s safe? 20630 You say it''s a butcher''s cord?"
20630You think it''s Harborough, then?
20630You think so?
20630You want a word-- or two-- with-- me?
20630You were Mallalieu''s-- or Mallows''--catspaw? 20630 You were there, then?"
20630You wo n''t be more than an hour, father?
20630You''ll come?
20630You''ll do what''s suggested here?
20630You''ll not tell?
20630You''ll want to know what I could tell before a judge, like?
20630You''re a lawyer, are n''t you?
20630You''re convinced of-- all this?
20630You''re equally sure about the second man being Harborough?
20630You''re not keeping anything back-- about your health, are you?
20630You''re sure about the time?
20630You''re sure of that?
20630You''re the Chidforth mentioned there?
20630You''ve got it?
20630You, of course, do n''t know who this gentleman is?
20630Your clerk-- he has n''t been at work this morning, I suppose?
20630Your folks aught to do with this?
20630''And-- silence about the other?''
20630''Do you know that your master''s lying dead, murdered, down amongst those trees?''
20630''Not a word that I came in here, then?''
20630''What''re you doing with his papers there?''
20630''What''s to be done?''
20630A man might kill any poisonous insect, any noxious reptile at pleasure-- why not a human blood- sucker like that?
20630And if it was picked up in that wood, what then?
20630And if one has a pedigree, why not have it properly searched out?
20630And if you do, blast you, why do n''t you say so, and be done with it?"
20630And if you like to make me a little present then----""You''re certain?"
20630And now, how much are you reckoning to get out of me-- what?"
20630And so,"he went on, as he produced glasses from the sideboard,"and so you were spending the evening with Cotherstone, what?"
20630And so-- so you see how even a little clue like that might help, eh?"
20630And the thing now is-- what''s the best line to take?
20630And what all this has to do with what we''re here for, I should like----""Just give me the names of the two hotels you were at in London, will you?"
20630And who did kill Kitely, now?
20630And why were they mixed up with Wilchester?
20630And yet-- what could, and what can we do?"
20630And-- had Cotherstone any reason-- of his own, or shared with his partner-- for wishing to get rid of Kitely?
20630And-- what does he want?
20630And-- whatever shall I say and do about it?"
20630And----""And-- what?"
20630Are there no signs of anything about here?"
20630Are you coming out?"
20630Are you one of Mr. Carfax''s clerks?"
20630Aught that''s serious?
20630Bent,"he said,"that that housekeeper of Kitely''s said the old fellow had been to the bank at noon today, to draw some money?
20630Bent?"
20630Bent?"
20630Brereton-- how are things going?
20630Brereton?"
20630Bridesmaids-- gowns-- all that sort of tomfoolery, what does it matter?"
20630Business?"
20630Business?"
20630But I suppose you''ve heard of the find at Harborough''s cottage?"
20630But at present-- is that the old woman''s lamp?"
20630But did it refer to the same event to which Kitely made reference in his memorandum?
20630But the figures?
20630But the main thing was-- what was Cotherstone doing during that hour of absence?
20630But what do you want?"
20630But, you see, Harborough, he might have one o''those cords hanging about somewhere, and-- do you understand?"
20630But-- how am I going to get into a van here, and got out of it there, without the vanmen knowing?"
20630But-- this plan o''yours?
20630But-- what did they expect to get from him?
20630But-- what else?
20630But-- what had he to do with this?
20630But-- what?
20630Came from Darlington, eh?
20630Can you read it in this light?"
20630Can you say how it came about?"
20630Cotherstone!--do you know who killed Kitely?"
20630Cotherstone?"
20630Cotherstone?"
20630Cotherstone?"
20630Curse it!--was ever anything so unfortunate!--however could he have so far lost his head as to forget it?
20630D''ye hear that?"
20630D''ye see through it?
20630D''ye think I''m afraid of a pack like yon?
20630D''ye think I''ve been a justice of the peace for twelve years without knowing what law is?
20630Did Stoner''s death arise out of a knowledge of that secret?
20630Did anybody else know what Stoner knew?
20630Did n''t notice anybody following him?"
20630Did you never hear that women have got what men haven''t-- instinct?"
20630Do you believe that any jury would convict a man on what you''ve got?
20630Do you happen to know what he had on him?"
20630Do you know why?
20630Do you know?"
20630Do you now, really?"
20630Do you really mean to tell me that you have n''t an idea of what all this means?"
20630Do you suppose that unfortunate lad Stoner kept his knowledge to himself?
20630Do you think he had any enemies?"
20630Do you think it likely that he''d have killed Kitely for thirty pounds?
20630Does no one know anything about this?
20630Eh?"
20630Eh?"
20630Empty, do you say?--no papers?"
20630Five hundred pounds!--what was it in comparison with what he might get by a little skilful playing of his cards?
20630For instance, did it take him out at regular hours?"
20630Had Cotherstone, had Mallalieu anything to do with Kitely''s death?
20630Had he endeavoured to blackmail them?
20630Had he got it from Kitely?
20630Had he no business?"
20630Had they any connexion with the word?
20630Hamthwaite?"
20630Has any fresh light been thrown on the Kitely murder?
20630Have you called the police?"
20630Have you heard what''s happened tonight?"
20630He had made one complete disappearance already; why not make another?
20630Here!--how soon shall you be wanting to start for yon place?"
20630How did I know he were in grey clothes?
20630How did Stoner know that some of the Norcaster and London detectives were n''t on the job already?
20630How do you do, sir?"
20630How do you feel disposed, sir?"
20630How do you know I shall be safe?"
20630How do you like it?"
20630How does it appear to you?"
20630How does that strike you-- as a theory?"
20630How does that strike you?"
20630How had Stoner acquired his information?
20630How had he revealed himself?
20630How had the dead clerk, Stoner, got his knowledge of this great event in the life of his employers?
20630How much do you want?
20630I daresay you see what I mean?"
20630I did two years-- for what?
20630I put it to you, Mr. Mayor-- if I''d killed this old man, do you think I''d have come back?
20630I repeat-- what does it look like?"
20630I say-- is there anything afoot about here?--anything going on?"
20630I shall feel safer-- you understand?"
20630I suppose there''d be an end of the case if he''d prove where he was, eh?"
20630I suppose you''d carefully planted some of that money you-- got hold of?
20630I thought you wanted things kept quiet for your lass''s sake?
20630I want you to tell me, straight, plain, truthful-- what are Highmarket folk thinking and saying about me?
20630I wonder if his daughter can persuade him?"
20630If you really want to know, I''m a good deal about them moors o''nights; old as I am, I''m very active, and I go about a goodish bit-- why not?
20630In that case, who''s the guilty person?"
20630In this cottage?"
20630Is it likely?"
20630Is there any way to either of''em except across the moors?
20630It was more than flesh and blood could stand, and-- Lord ha''mercy, what''s to be done?"
20630It''s this-- is my daughter going to suffer from aught that may or may not be raked up against her father?
20630It''s your conviction?"
20630Kitely?"
20630Kitely?"
20630Kitely?"
20630Kitely?"
20630Kitely?"
20630Let''s see-- it was a Building Society that you defrauded, was n''t it?
20630Lord bless you, man!--don''t they know that there''s only two places you could make for-- Norcaster and Hexendale?
20630Mallalieu?"
20630Mallalieu?"
20630Murder, eh?"
20630My tenant?
20630Naught heard or seen?"
20630No more than that?"
20630Nothing really certain and definite you say?
20630Now he wanted to know what it meant, what it signified, what was its true relation to the case?
20630Now supposing they come here?"
20630Now that I know what''s to be faced--"he twisted suddenly on Garthwaite--"what makes you think it''s murder?"
20630Now then, where''s that cord they talk about?"
20630Now what can we infer from that but that the murderer actually stopped by his victim to examine the papers?
20630Now what does it mean?
20630Now which on us would you be inclined to fix it on, Mr. Stoner?
20630Now why do you railway folks know it is n''t likely?"
20630Now, how was he taken?"
20630Now, is there any man in his common senses would believe that if I did that job, I should leave such a bit of clear evidence behind me?
20630Now, what would you say, Mr. Mallalieu?
20630Now-- how?
20630Of course, he''s dead?"
20630Of course, you came up North after you''d done your time?
20630Oh, yes, we remember that case very well indeed in Wilchester, do n''t we, Maria?"
20630Or aught of that sort?"
20630Or footprints?
20630Or happen you''d rather keep such a grand secret to yourself-- till you can make something out of it?"
20630Received from whom?"
20630Sharp- nose?"
20630Should he tell all he knew to Avice Harborough?
20630Sit you down-- would you like a drop of good whisky, now?"
20630So Kitely was in close communication with Bent, was he?--constantly seeing him, being employed by him?
20630So Windle Bent was one of those chaps who have what folk call family pride, was he?
20630So we may take it that you knew Mr. Kitely very well indeed?"
20630So you know who killed Kitely, do you, my lad?
20630Strangled?
20630Supposing the charges had been drawn?--supposing he was defenceless, if a pinch came?
20630Surely you''re not going to be fetched out again, father?"
20630That is unless-- you understand?"
20630That is-- he was the really guilty party in the Wilchester affair, of Which that''s an account?"
20630That so?"
20630That the cottage?"
20630That''s it, master, what?"
20630The big question with him as he went home in the evening was-- was he safe until the afternoon of the next day?
20630They ai n''t suspicioning_ him_?"
20630Was he alone?"
20630Was he the sort of man to stand the knowledge which Kitely might give him?
20630Was it Mallalieu?--or was it Cotherstone?
20630Was it possible that he had communicated what he knew to any of his friends?
20630Was it possible-- the thought came to him like a thunderclap in the darkness-- that they knew, or had some idea, of what he really had on him?
20630Was there any love affair-- jealousy, you know-- anything of that sort?"
20630Well, any fresh news about this last bad business?
20630Well, how have you come on?"
20630Well, my lad, what is it?"
20630Well, what did you think of Mr. Christopher Pett?"
20630What about Cotherstone?"
20630What about his defence?"
20630What are they saying?"
20630What can I do in three weeks?"
20630What could he do?
20630What d''ye mean by it?"
20630What did he do with himself in London?
20630What do you know, like?"
20630What do you mean, then?"
20630What do you say to that, now?"
20630What do you think happened?
20630What do you want-- to keep your tongue still?"
20630What does he know about your family?
20630What does it matter whose brass it is, so long as it''s safe?
20630What had happened when Kitely revealed himself as a man who had been a witness of their conviction in those far- off days?
20630What has happened, then?"
20630What is it?"
20630What is it?"
20630What might it be about, like?"
20630What motive could Harborough have had for killing Kitely?
20630What were those two devils after, he wondered as he lay there in the darkness?
20630What were you thinking of, now?"
20630What would you suggest, Dave?"
20630What''s he carrying on in that fashion for?"
20630What''s he going to do?"
20630What''s it to you if I have a quiet glass of wine with my friends?"
20630What''s that-- letters?"
20630What''s up now, like?
20630What?"
20630What?"
20630Whatever made him come here?"
20630When is all this mystery coming to an end, Brereton?
20630When they''ve safely got one man, do you think they''re going to look for another?
20630When was this, now?"
20630Where ha''you been all night?"
20630Where were you that night, I should like to know?
20630Where?--when?"
20630Who am I?
20630Who should want to kill an old chap like that?
20630Who struck that blow?
20630Who was David Myler?
20630Who was he, then?--what did he know?--was he some detective who had been privately working up this case?
20630Who''s coming, like?"
20630Who''s going to interfere with me, I''d like to know?
20630Who, then, struck the blow which killed Stoner, or, if it did not actually kill him, caused his death by bringing about the fall which broke his neck?
20630Why India?"
20630Why am I wanted?"
20630Why did he take''em out of the pocket- book and throw the pocket- book away?
20630Why not?
20630Why?
20630Why?
20630Why?
20630Why?
20630Will you gentlemen have a sandwich-- or a dry biscuit?
20630Will you have a drop of whisky?"
20630Windle-- of course we shall have to put off the wedding?"
20630Yah!--who''d believe Cotherstone?
20630You ca n''t think of what it is, now?"
20630You do n''t mean to say you found it empty?
20630You gentlemen coming with us?"
20630You have n''t any doubtful character in Highmarket who has ever lived in India, have you?"
20630You knew him?"
20630You know old Kitely-- your partner''s tenant?
20630You remember the night of Kitely''s murder?"
20630You think so?
20630You understand?"
20630You wo n''t come down, I suppose?"
20630You''ve been having high old times in that back- of- beyond town of yours, have n''t you?
20630Yourself?"
20630_ Do_ you think it possible it was some other person?
20630be, now?"
20630he asked,"is-- have you made some discovery?
20630he said,"I daresay you know where Mrs. Northrop lives in this town-- up near the foot of the Shawl?
20630why do n''t you speak out plain?"
11949''No? 11949 ''Shall I tell you a fact, sir, about yourself?''
11949''The little arrows?'' 11949 ''Ya, ya,''said Henkel, leaning over the table,''but the butterfly?
11949A proof-- have I not given you a proof?
11949A spiritualist?
11949Afraid of ghosts? 11949 Afraid?
11949Ah, may I inquire whether he was particularly rough with afternoon?
11949Ah,chuckled Jemmy,"you''d like to know, would n''t you?
11949Ah? 11949 An infernal machine?
11949And always the same things happened?
11949And can he succeed?
11949And deprive the ghost of house and home? 11949 And do you give me your word?"
11949And for me, most excellent friar?
11949And he is at her house to- night?
11949And he, did he always call on business?
11949And if you catch them they''ll be hung?
11949And now what do you make of it?
11949And on her father, too, and on all her friends? 11949 And shoot?
11949And that is--?
11949And the man who sent her to the work-- his name?
11949And the odor of tobacco?
11949And the story?
11949And the woman-- was she alone when you left her?
11949And then what?
11949And then?
11949And there was n''t any pen?
11949And there was really nowhere else to come but here?
11949And those Englishmen,I inquired,"are they real?"
11949And what are they?
11949And what is it that she has inflicted for months on me?
11949And what made you change?
11949And what will it be now?
11949And who are these gentlemen?
11949And you champion me to that extent?
11949And you decided you would?
11949And you did n''t throw him in, after all? 11949 And you did?"
11949And you have no idea why it was there?
11949And your father- in- law?
11949And your own life?
11949And, Mr. Gordon,she continued, and then hesitated for a moment--"my-- Frederic told me that you-- you said you honored me for--?"
11949Another wife?
11949Any luck yet?
11949Anyone hurt?
11949Are n''t you going to see him personally? 11949 Are they drunk?"
11949Are they not exaggerated?
11949Are you disappointed? 11949 Are you getting old?"
11949Are you going Saturday night?
11949Are you ready?
11949Are you so anxious to get rich?
11949Are you sure she came this way, Cecil?
11949Are you sure you saw a flag, Miss Cullen?
11949Are you thoroughly devoted to Mrs. Close? 11949 Asleep?"
11949Aw, in what respect?
11949Aw, you fancy resistance impossible?
11949Ay, but does he come alone? 11949 Because he chucked your men into the river?"
11949But I daresay his fish will come below the log, so what''s the odds?
11949But how can I give you what I have n''t?
11949But how can you do it?
11949But how could you for an instant suppose that I could say what I did to Lord Ralles?
11949But how the deuce did he know that you had those letters?
11949But how--"How am I going to see him? 11949 But is n''t it dangerous?"
11949But really, Mrs. Magnus,I continued,"you do n''t mean to tell me seriously that you saw him write this?"
11949But suppose our fish venture into his waters, Cecil; what then? 11949 But suppose someone else should be proved to have been really responsible?
11949But that note?
11949But the ashes?
11949But the chair?
11949But the question of tuition?
11949But were you not afraid of being discovered? 11949 But what did you do?"
11949But what has happened since to arouse suspicion?
11949But who can deserve it?
11949But who can it be? 11949 But why should you object to that?"
11949But why?
11949But ze lights?
11949But--"And you are prepared now to make another affidavit to that effect?
11949By George, you do n''t suppose they''ll pursue you?
11949By Jove, Cecil, you''re not afraid to meet him, are you?
11949By Jove, Shaw, are you_ with_ me?
11949By Jove, do you mean it?
11949By my orders? 11949 By the way, did Mrs. Close come alone?"
11949Ca n''t Tompkins and his men keep that man off my land?
11949Ca n''t you go to him and insist that he-- or tell him what I really feel toward him-- or anything, in fact, to shame him? 11949 Ca n''t you think up a scheme?
11949Can I, lyedy?
11949Can they hear us?
11949Can you bring him down here to- night?
11949Can you see that from the floor, Walter?
11949Captain,he said sharply,"who is this person you come here to warn?
11949Cause?
11949Certainly, or how could I write it upon the paper?
11949Confound it, you forget the time--"Mon Dieu, are we to compare ze Hindoo harem wiz ze American feest slugger?
11949Could n''t they?
11949Dark as Egypt, eh?
11949Dem it all, Pen,he chattered,"you''re not at all wet, are you?
11949Depend on you? 11949 Did Dr. Gregory, the X- ray specialist, ever attend Mrs. Close at her home, in her room?"
11949Did Mrs. Close have other callers?
11949Did n''t you pass a better night?
11949Did n''t you see it after all was over?
11949Did she say anything that you remember?
11949Did she say she was going to Shaw''s?
11949Did she tell you about that?
11949Did you enter the room?
11949Did you hear what he was-- what we were saying?
11949Did you knock?
11949Did you see any of the servants, Lester?
11949Did you see the smoke?
11949Did you see who was in the car?
11949Did you tell any one of all this?
11949Did you_ see_ him?
11949Do I chaw terbaccy?
11949Do n''t Western women ever get Eastern gowns?
11949Do n''t you find it very lonely to live out here, away from old friends?
11949Do we stop long?
11949Do you dare me?
11949Do you hear?
11949Do you intend a high- handed interference with the civil authorities?
11949Do you know what my advice to you is, the advice of a man who has seen high play everywhere from Monte Carlo to Shanghai?
11949Do you mean in connection with Mr.--with Jack- the- Giant- Killer?
11949Do you mean to tell us that he threw you great hulking creatures into the river? 11949 Do you mean, Miss Cullen,"I cried hotly,"that he''s been cad enough to force his attentions upon you by threats?"
11949Do you really expect to catch them?
11949Do you really mean that there is no charge?
11949Do you really?
11949Do you recall my vow? 11949 Do you suppose some one has broken in and substituted this Lytton letter for the Thurston letter?"
11949Do you think I am a woman easily imposed upon?
11949Do you think this Albano had anything to do with the letter?
11949Do you want Miss Warren to think that I was only bluffing, after all? 11949 Do you want to go?"
11949Do? 11949 Ees eet Shaw?
11949Eh?
11949Ever been in Danbridge?
11949Five thousand is n''t a bad day''s work, eh?
11949For Heaven''s sake, Kennedy,I gasped as we went down the stairway,"what do you mean by giving him such advice-- you?"
11949For instance,she asked coolly, when she saw that I was speechless,"what does she look like?"
11949For what?
11949Frequent callers-- a Mr. Lawrence, for instance?
11949From nowhere?
11949Given it to her husband?
11949Giving it away?
11949Good Lord, could n''t you rescue him?
11949Good heavens, what are we to do if he comes here with a lot of desperadoes and begins to shoot?
11949Good of me? 11949 Had Miss Lytton any enemies whom you think of, people who were jealous of her professionally or personally?"
11949Has anything come?
11949Have I time to fill a bag?
11949Have there?
11949Have you breakfasted?
11949Have you caught the robbers?
11949Have you not heard it,man cried to man--"the Palazzo Pisani lacks a mistress to- day?
11949Have you seen him?
11949Have you stubbed your toe, little boy?
11949He-- he is dead?
11949He?
11949Henkel was saying,''Dear me, dear me, but why should this have happened?'' 11949 His orders?
11949How about the handwriting?
11949How are you, Lester?
11949How could you time it?
11949How dare you? 11949 How did Mrs. Close receive him?"
11949How did you get it?
11949How did you know I was there?
11949How did you know she had it?
11949How do the scientists account for it?
11949How do you know he did?
11949How do you know the number?
11949How do you know where the line is? 11949 How do you know?"
11949How is the old boy?
11949How long ago?
11949How long are you going to stay here?
11949How much is it, Welply?
11949How the devil do I know? 11949 How will you stop him?"
11949How?
11949How?
11949How?
11949How?
11949I am afraid I do n''t understand?
11949I am sure of it, Captain, and being sure I am putting my life in your hands to- night--"To- night; we are to follow you to the Merceria, then?
11949I cried out,''Is it the fever, Pedro?'' 11949 I do n''t care about myself, Mr. Gordon, but ca n''t you keep her out of it?
11949I hope there is no danger of the train arriving first, is there?
11949I hope there''s nothing wrong?
11949I may keep it?
11949I only-- what place are we stopping at?
11949I really could not have walked to Ridgely to- night, could I?
11949I say what the deuce do you suppose the confounded savage has in mind?
11949I say, Miss Drake, you wo n''t mind talking to me a while after dinner, will you?
11949I suppose so,I said, and then, added,"Why should you be afraid of asking your father?"
11949I suppose we civilians will have to take a back seat now, Miss Cullen?
11949I wonder where I_ am_ to go?
11949In not cutting the wires?
11949In the night? 11949 In writing?"
11949Inspector, can you lend me one of your men for a couple of days?
11949Instantly,I said, rising, and added,"Do n''t you want to see what I say, Miss Cullen?"
11949Is Jim Godfrey there?
11949Is Mr. Bruce here?
11949Is Professor Kennedy here?
11949Is anything the matter?
11949Is he big?
11949Is it really you?
11949Is n''t the housekeeper a long time in coming?
11949Is she a mulatto? 11949 Is she riding?"
11949Is there any place about here that''s a safe hiding spot for a few hours?
11949Is this true, Penelope?
11949Is your name Bruce?
11949It did n''t strike his collar or hair?
11949It is n''t dreadfully immodest, is it, for one to hold converse with her captor? 11949 It was n''t all wrote at once, was it?
11949It was true about the jar of ammonia?
11949Kennedy, how did you ever think of such a thing?
11949Let me say a word before you pull,he called, and then to me he said,"Now will you give up the property?"
11949Locking the door after you?
11949Look a here,growled the sheriff,"who are yer sayin''all this to anyway?
11949Look here, Lester,demanded Godfrey impatiently,"you do n''t mean to say that you believe any such rot?"
11949Man or devil-- who are you?
11949May I come with you and see what you say?
11949May I count on having this note for further examination, of course always at such times and under such conditions as you agree to?
11949Meaning that you refuse to let me ascend?
11949Might I ask,interrupted Kennedy,"what that curious greenish or bluish light from the tube is composed of?"
11949Monsieur has no doubt arranged for the services of an instructor?
11949Mr. Gordon,she said-- and when I looked at her I saw that she was flushing--"what is the matter?"
11949Mr. Lawrence, will you be so kind as to reach behind your chair? 11949 My conversation with Lord Ralles?"
11949No,I answered;"I do n''t see how I can believe it-- and yet, what did she tell it for?"
11949No; how could I?
11949Not right here?
11949Not send you to prison?
11949Not-- not fatally?
11949Nothing else?
11949Now can you recollect just how Mr. Parker acted when he was shot? 11949 Now, Walter, do you think you could stand another dip into that red ink of Albano''s?"
11949Oh, I say, Pen, that''s going out of the way for a little fun, is n''t it? 11949 Oh, by the way, would you mind doing your brother a favor, Miss Drake?
11949Oh, would n''t that be jolly? 11949 Oh, you''re awake, are you?"
11949Oh,I said;"then it was your step I heard in the hall?"
11949Oh? 11949 Old?
11949On this desk?
11949Or left a note of it, perhaps?
11949Or my brothers?
11949Peter Magnus?
11949Pray, how do you know all of this, Penelope?
11949Quite right,he agreed hastily;"the note was queer, though, was n''t is?
11949Really, Miss Cullen,I began; but she interrupted me by saying anxiously--"He ca n''t hurt papa, can he?"
11949Really, it''s quite thrilling, is n''t it?
11949Right?
11949Say, is there a candy- store on this block?
11949See that light over there-- up the mountain?
11949Sha''n''t we run?
11949Shall I tell you-- really?
11949Shaw? 11949 She''s dooced pretty, eh?"
11949Shot him?
11949Should I have done so?
11949Signor Rocca, what means this?
11949Signor Rocca,he said,"do you know of what I am thinking?"
11949So this rock is the dividing line?
11949So you are putting me off your place? 11949 So you think this Parker case is a mess?"
11949So you were in the desk?
11949Soldiers?
11949Some one coming?
11949Sorry to discommode a lady,apologized the sheriff, gallantly,"but if we may just look around a little?"
11949Supposing,she continued,"that it became known that you have those letters?
11949Tell me,he exclaimed,"the Count of Pisa, is he not the woman''s lover?"
11949That was just after I had got off?
11949The money is in that bag?
11949The office was locked, I suppose?
11949The poor devils might have drowned, eh, Bonaparte?
11949The woman''s name, Excellency,he repeated, so soon as his surprise permitted him to speak,"you know her, then?"
11949Then I''m to throw him in whether he says anything or not, sir?
11949Then it is better to keep it a secret?
11949Then perhaps you would like to be left to enjoy the moonlight and your meditations by yourself?
11949Then what happened?
11949Then what is to become of it?
11949Then what is your motive?
11949Then what was it?
11949Then why ca n''t you tell me?
11949Then why did you risk your life,she asked,"if you thought it was useless?"
11949Then why do n''t you come over and get it? 11949 Then you perhaps think that Prescott and Mrs. Martin are in some way connected in this case?"
11949There was no way to slip this letter in among the others since you obtained them?
11949There, Miss Cullen,I asked,"does the East come up to that in gallantry?"
11949They are convicts?
11949They do n''t usually kill anyone, do they?
11949They have sworn it-- you know their names, Captain?
11949This afternoon?
11949This was Mr. Magnus''workroom, I suppose?
11949Threatened what?
11949Time?
11949To England? 11949 To act as ambassador from Cowardice Court?"
11949Walter, did you notice he said not a word of condemnation of Dixon, though the note was before his eyes? 11949 Was it worth the risk?"
11949Was n''t that sufficient?
11949Well, Jameson,he said at length,"do you think this professor fellow is the goods?"
11949Well, Lester,he said,"did you leave the fifty thousand?"
11949Well, well, what''s it all about?
11949Well, where do you think it came from?
11949Well,I said, as calmly as I could,"are you going to stand by me?"
11949Wh- what does it mean?
11949What acid?
11949What am I to do, Kennedy?
11949What are we stopping here for?
11949What are we to think of that? 11949 What are you doing, sir?"
11949What can they do?
11949What color are they?
11949What did Mrs. Parker do when she came to?
11949What did she say as she was going down in the elevator?
11949What do you make of that?
11949What do you mean by pressure being brought?
11949What do you mean?
11949What do you think he''d give for those letters?
11949What do you want me to do?
11949What do you want to do?
11949What does it all mean?
11949What does that mean?
11949What happened after you came back?
11949What happened?
11949What has he done, Cecil dear?
11949What has that to do with the case?
11949What have you to say to me, Penelope?
11949What is it you want of me?
11949What is it, Hodder?
11949What is it?
11949What is it?
11949What kind of a place?
11949What letters?
11949What luck?
11949What made you think that?
11949What other four?
11949What sort of place is it?
11949What the deuce is this coming down the road?
11949What the devil are you doing?
11949What time is it?
11949What use will those letters be after the eighteenth? 11949 What was is about?"
11949What was that?
11949What was that?
11949What will he think? 11949 What will that do?"
11949What would they do with you?
11949What yard? 11949 What''s become of that Shaw fellow?"
11949What''s that?
11949What''s that?
11949What''s the matter, mademoiselle?
11949What''s the matter?
11949What''s the matter?
11949What''s the matter?
11949What''s up, Cecil, with your legs?
11949What''s up?
11949What''s wrong this morning?
11949What''s your hurry?
11949What- a you get- a pay for? 11949 What-- what d''ye mean?"
11949What-- what the devil do you mean, sir?
11949What?
11949What?
11949What?
11949What?
11949What_ do_ you think of me?
11949Whe-- where are we going?
11949When Mr. Close was at home?
11949When did you begin?
11949When?
11949When?
11949Where are we?
11949Where can the poor thing go? 11949 Where did he send it?"
11949Where did you find it, Pen?
11949Where did you say this bullet struck?
11949Where ees she coming to?
11949Where else? 11949 Where is she, Hodder?"
11949Where is the letter? 11949 Where were you sitting when I came up?"
11949Where''s Pen?
11949Which means that you do not know their names, Captain?
11949Who are these men?
11949Who are you, sir?
11949Who are you?
11949Who are you?
11949Who is? 11949 Who pays your wage?"
11949Who sent you, rogue?
11949Who was your pal?
11949Who''ll go down and get me a bottle of ginger ale?
11949Who''s there?
11949Who?
11949Why ca n''t we go over to my rooms at the Marathon and hear the story?
11949Why could n''t I have put it off until morning?
11949Why did n''t he destroy it?
11949Why do n''t you believe the men?
11949Why not give in, Ella, and admit you have been in the wrong? 11949 Why not?
11949Why not?
11949Why not?
11949Why should she want to throw me off the track?
11949Why, Lord Ralles has been-- has been-- oh, he''s threatened that if I wouldn''t-- that--"You mean he--?
11949Why, if Dixon contemplated anything against Miss Lytton, should he preserve this letter from her?
11949Why, whatever are you doing?
11949Why, you do n''t think she did the shooting?
11949Why,answered Jemmy still more impatiently,"I began operations at the same time every night, did n''t I?
11949Why,he ejaculated,"my brother and I each have a double express with us, and do you think we''d sit still in our seats?
11949Why?
11949Why?
11949Widow of Peter? 11949 Will you give me your word of honor that those letters are not concealed in your clothes?"
11949Wo n''t it be safer to run while there is still time?
11949Would it be too much to ask just to see that note that was found in the Boncour bungalow?
11949Would n''t they try to get our money and our watches?
11949Would you taste an unknown drug again to discover the nature of a probable poison?
11949Yer mean that cattle- drive?
11949Yes,agreed the duke;"and what''s a broken leg to a broken heart?
11949Yesterday the chief of Police in a Western city sent a man East to see me about the Price murder-- you know the case?
11949You are sure you can be spared?
11949You dared? 11949 You did n''t hear the shot fired from any particular direction?"
11949You do n''t suppose,she said,"that, after all you have done for us, I could be angry over what was merely a mistake?"
11949You have never seen this Mrs. Martin or her husband?
11949You have not showed this to the police, I presume?
11949You have the records, Whiting?
11949You mean he indicated his wish before he died?
11949You mean it had been lying there unnoticed ever since his death?
11949You mean she did n''t see him write it?
11949You mean that he actually did write it while you were looking over his shoulder?
11949You mean the law? 11949 You mean the novel?"
11949You mean to say you are doing it for nothing?
11949You mean you think somebody is coming out of that house?
11949You mean--?
11949You remember when we were talking on the drive about the raid, O''Connor? 11949 You say you have left your hotel?"
11949You say, Excellency--?
11949You shaw Saw-- I mean you saw Shaw?
11949You taught my friend, Miss Hamilton Warren, to fly, did you not?
11949You were to carry that news to her?
11949You wo n''t mind my coming over here, will you?
11949You''ll take it up to her yourself?
11949You''ll telegraph at once?
11949You''re not unwell, I hope?
11949You''ve-- you''ve turned her out?
11949You-- you do n''t mean it?
11949You? 11949 You_ ran_?"
11949You_ will_ understand, wo n''t you?
11949You_ will_ understand, wo n''t you?
11949Your pitiful cowards want it to be real, do they? 11949 _ Could_?
11949_ Send_ him a warning?
11949_ Trying to write_?
11949''And what are you taking for the Indies?''
11949''And who the devil is Lord Bazelhurst?''
11949''The truth as I see it by means of my wonderful invention?
11949''What did you make that affidavit for?
11949''What do you mean by that?''
11949''What''s wrong?''
11949''Who gave these orders?''
11949--but Mr. Shaw said:''Well, why do n''t you throw me in the river?''
11949A moment later I heard Godfrey''s voice ask:"Hello?
11949A very talented girl, too-- you remember her in''The Taming of the New Woman''last season?
11949Accident?
11949After a pause, she asked,"How long is he in prison for?"
11949After all, why should she run away from him?
11949Ah, well, what do you say to a stroll down the White Way before I go to my laboratory?
11949All alone, were you?"
11949Am I ejecting an innocent bystander?
11949Am I to go?"
11949Am I walking too fast for you?"
11949And here?
11949And now what is to become of me-- will madame his wife give a recommendation now?"
11949And so what does it come to?
11949And the price they paid you, knave?"
11949And then I added,''You''ll excuse me, but what does Henkel want of you?''
11949And there are no spooks?
11949And what the dickens do you mean by having a hitch rein, anyway?
11949And where would_ he_ be?
11949And you?"
11949And, if so, how can a complexion be curly?"
11949Anything else?"
11949Are you alone?"
11949Are you crazy?"
11949Are you ready?
11949As he entered the wine- shop he snorted, after the manner of gas- men,"Where''s de leak?"
11949At once?
11949Before I could speak, she asked hurriedly,"How often do you come to Chicago?"
11949Besides, the money would be visible, would n''t it?
11949But ca n''t we shut up this man Kennedy?
11949But did they get anyone this time?
11949But who fired it?
11949But will he think I''ve done this for effect?
11949But, I say, why ca n''t I have the same privilege as these other chaps?
11949But, after all, what''s the rush?"
11949But, come; will you go to Renwood''s with me?"
11949But-- ah, here at the end-- let me read:"''Well, he''s very clever, but he has nothing against me, has he?''
11949But-- but what was it you said about England?"
11949But--""And you swore falsely before Kimmel that you were not?"
11949By the way, can you arrange for me to go through the room this morning when you go back?"
11949By the way, what has this envelope to do with it?"
11949CHAPTER VIII HOW DID THE SECRET LEAK OUT?
11949Ca n''t you get him in range?"
11949Ca n''t you see the mottoes on the trees-- No Trespassin''?''
11949Ca n''t you see?"
11949Ca n''t you stop him?"
11949Can you bear something further?
11949Cigarette?
11949Close?"
11949Come and see us off, will you?''
11949Could anything be more dramatic than his willing penalty for his devotion to medicine?"
11949Could it be possible that she was inventing all of this incredible tale?
11949Could you give a little advice in the case of a friend of mine?"
11949Could you-- er-- could you take his place and show us just how it happened?"
11949Cullen?"
11949Cullen?"
11949D''youse all wanter be blown ter pieces wid dem pipes and cigarettes?
11949Demmit, sir, did n''t I say I was Lord Bazelhurst?
11949Deuced queer, eh?
11949Did he say?"
11949Did you bring it with you?"
11949Dixon?"
11949Do I look pretty good?"
11949Do n''t you know she is the wife of Adolphus Hesse, the most inveterate gambler in stocks in the System?
11949Do n''t you remember the auburn- haired leading lady in the Follies''--the girl who sings that song about''Mary, Mary, quite contrary''?
11949Do n''t you understand?"
11949Do n''t you want it any longer?"
11949Do you call that fair fighting?
11949Do you expect me to break the rule by coming over on to your land to hand it to you?"
11949Do you happen to know any of the shopkeepers on it or near it?"
11949Do you mean to say-- Miss Drake, did your brother instruct him to kill me?"
11949Do you remember the challenge you gave me yesterday?
11949Do you suppose any jury is going to take enough expert testimony to outweigh the tragedy of a beautiful woman?
11949Do you think I can support such means of warfare?
11949Do you think I condone this outrage?
11949Do you think he would let me use his store for a few minutes Saturday night-- of course without any risk to himself?"
11949Do you think the wheel is crooked?"
11949Do?
11949Does he expect me to take him up on your account and have him here?"
11949Ever meet him?
11949Finally I asked--"You are quite comfortable, Miss Cullen?"
11949Fine, is n''t it?"
11949Good Lord, what does it mean?
11949Good Lord, why-- why did you let her go?"
11949Good heavens, what am I to do?"
11949Goodness, what''s that?"
11949Gordon?"
11949Gordon?"
11949Gordon?"
11949Had Godfrey thought of that?
11949Had he tired of the sport?
11949Had the novelty worn off?
11949Hang it all, what right has he to catch our fish?"
11949Hang it all, what''s he like?
11949Hang it all, where is the fellow?
11949Has your friend asked you to plead for him?
11949Haswell?"
11949Have I been dozing?
11949Have I been unnecessarily rough and expeditious?"
11949Have I not heard your oath in Naples when the irons seared your flesh?
11949Have you any plan?"
11949Have you any suggestions to make?"
11949Have you ever heard of him?"
11949Have you not given me mine twice?
11949He dipped a pen into a little bottle, and wrote on a piece of paper:***** What is your opinion about Cross''s Headache Cure?
11949He''s a-- a gentleman, I daresay-- in some respects-- not all, of course, my dear, but--""Gentleman?
11949Hoping he would"catch on,"I shouted to him--"How are your sore spots, Albert?"
11949How are you going to pull off your raid-- is it to be down through the skylight or up from the cellar?"
11949How can I prevent any one from learning my trade secret, leaving me, and making gold on his own account?
11949How could he, except by means of clairvoyance, have known before leaving home that he was not to meet his enemy face to face?
11949How could she have seen him?
11949How dare you to speak to--""What are you two rowing about?"
11949How dare you?"
11949How did you come here?
11949How do we come out?
11949How had he appeared to her?
11949How many legs did Hodder say she''d-- she''d broken?"
11949How many men will you need in the raid?
11949How should I act to get my little Adelina back without harming a hair of her head?"
11949How then was I to explain it?
11949How were we to surmount this last and most formidable barrier?
11949How''s that?"
11949Hullo, who''s that?
11949I ai n''t supposed to do dis wit''out orders, see?"
11949I did n''t escape it, for Madge was saying--"Can you conceive of a man pretending to care for a girl and yet treating her so?
11949I do n''t suppose you know that Magnus had another wife living over in Jersey?"
11949I felt that I was talking nonsense, but what, in Heaven''s name, is a man to say who has just been through an experience like that?
11949I glanced at Fred, whom I found looking at me anxiously, and asked him--"Ca n''t you do better than that?"
11949I looked in Daurillac''s brilliant young face, and I had n''t the courage to say anything but,''Have you plenty of quinine?''
11949I love a storm, do n''t you?"
11949I nodded, and Miss Cullen said, questioningly,"Me too?"
11949I noticed that it was quite gray, and that his lips twitched as he muttered,''Señor, Señor--''"I said:''Where is the Señor Scott?''
11949I pay your debts, clothe you, feed you-- house your ungrateful sister-- and what do I get in return?
11949I say, are you sure you can find the Kenwood cottage?"
11949I say, would you mind_ tossing_ it up to me?"
11949I started at Kennedy''s tone and whispered hastily:"What do you mean?
11949I suppose there''s nothing to do but turn over the money?"
11949I think you said eight o''clock?"
11949I want to make good, conspicuously good, at the start-- understand?
11949I was at the door in an instant, and asked--"What''s up?"
11949I''ll step back thirty paces and then you come over and get the watch-- if you''re not afraid of me-- and I''ll promise--""Afraid?
11949If it is the truth, will you believe in me?
11949Intelligent, is n''t it?
11949Is it different from ours?"
11949Is it not so, Captain?"
11949Is it the less real?
11949Is my sister here?"
11949Is n''t he, Barminster?
11949Is n''t it a good hypothesis that she is the red haired woman in the case, the tool of the System in which her husband is so heavily involved?
11949Is n''t it rather odd that a house should be lighted so brilliantly at this hour of night?"
11949Is n''t that an attitude, or are you too drunk to see it?"
11949Is n''t that trespass?"
11949Is she dead?''
11949Is that all you see?
11949Is that your reason, Signor Falier?"
11949Is this blood on my arm accidental?
11949It is n''t because you feel that you have no home with me?"
11949It is perhaps for sale?"
11949It is some other, then, and not myself?"
11949It is the outward sign of the unity of nature, the--""The means by which you secure the curious telepagrams I have heard of?"
11949It was O''Connor''s turn to look incredulous, but as Kennedy apparently meant exactly what he said, he simply asked,"And will you?"
11949It would be hard to face the master of the house, but-- a stranger?
11949Just as I reached the plank, however, I heard Lord Ralles ask--"Who''s that?"
11949Lester?"
11949Lord Bazelhurst wants war, does he?
11949Lord, Lord, what do such women mean by giving themselves to little rats like Bazelhurst?
11949Madge laughed at my confusion, and asked,"With money?"
11949Magnus?"
11949May I expect the machine to- morrow as arranged?"
11949Misanthrope?"
11949Monsieur can already fly, no doubt?"
11949More cheerful, eh?
11949Mosely, are you heeled?"
11949My God, what''s to become of her?"
11949My companion stopped walking at the steps of 218, and asked,"Has she told you so?"
11949Now that she was here, what was she to do?
11949Now why did you say that?"
11949Now you do n''t want to do it by means of a warrant, do you, sir?
11949Now, Inspector, can you spare the time to go down to Parker''s office and take me over the ground?
11949Now, acknowledge that you would n''t stop work if you could?"
11949Now, then, will you hand over those letters, or will you go to---- inside of ten minutes?"
11949Now, who could that be but Penelope?"
11949Odwell?"
11949Of the Guards, sir, and the Seventy- first?
11949Oh, Harris, ca n''t you settle with him if he asks anything?
11949Oh, I''m so sorry now-- why did I--""You ran away?"
11949Or did hypnosis involve that, too?
11949Or did the fact that it had been inside an invisible object render it permanently invisible?
11949Or does it become invisible when the ghost puts it in his pocket?"
11949Or was it Godfrey who was trying to throw dust in my eyes?
11949Over his shoulder I could see a tangled mass of dark brown curls, and a childish voice lisped:"Why did n''t you come for me, papa?
11949Parker?"
11949Perhaps he like beautiful women--_eh bien?_ That was before the Doctor Gregory treated madame.
11949Remember that?
11949Renwood?"
11949Scott?"
11949Scott?"
11949See that?
11949See that?"
11949See what I mean?
11949See?
11949Shall I listen again when the fire is being made ready, and there is burning coal beneath the bed you will lie upon to- night, Signor Rocca?"
11949Shaw?"
11949Shaw?"
11949Shaw?"
11949She checked her pony as we came opposite Drute, and said,"Can you use money?"
11949She still looked doubtful, and asked,"Then why did papa say just now,''Fortunately''?"
11949She''s a traitor, un''stand me?
11949Single- handed?"
11949Speak, rascal, shall I read you the tale?"
11949Surely you can bend the will of a young girl who is also your daughter?"
11949Surely your X- ray work has n''t knocked you out like this?"
11949THE DEADLY TUBE BY ARTHUR B. REEVE"For Heaven''s sake, Gregory, what is the matter?"
11949Tell me; how did it happen?"
11949That it was only a pretext she proved to me the moment I had relocked the bar, by saying--"Mr. Gordon, may I ask you a question?"
11949That log down there is the dividing line in our river, eh?
11949That would be a little-- well-- indelicate, do n''t you think?"
11949The alternative?
11949The golden butterfly?
11949The money is all right, he says?
11949The old man moved restlessly on the bed, and over my shoulder I could hear him gasp faintly,"Where''s Grace?
11949The other, long and of an official shape, contained-- ah, what do you guess?
11949The point was this: Why, if the ashes from the ghost''s cigar became visible when knocked off, should n''t the smoke become visible when expired?
11949The question that arises here is, Was she murdered or did she commit suicide?
11949Then Tompkins called him a vile name, your lordship-- shall I repeat it, sir?"
11949There seemed no interval before I found myself sitting in the hammock and saying over and over again,''But where''s the little chap?
11949Therefore I think--""Throw me in, would he?"
11949This is Shaw''s way, is n''t it?"
11949This is their way of fighting, is it?
11949Thurston, who was the man whom you saw enter the Boncour bungalow as you left-- the constant visitor?"
11949Twelve?
11949Two?
11949Walter, will you open that door into the main hall?"
11949Was Kennedy going to slit the whole door and let it fall in with a crash?
11949Was Kennedy, who had been engaged by her father to defend her fiancà ©, about to convict him?
11949Was he convinced?
11949Was he laughing at her for a silly coquette?
11949Was it a look of pride that his tall young wife bestowed upon him as he drew himself proudly erect or was it akin to pity?
11949Was it my fancy, or did something like a sigh come from that unseen presence in the chair?
11949Was she not Lady Bazelhurst?
11949We represent the New York_ Star_--""Is n''t it terrible enough that I should suffer so,"she interrupted,"but must the newspapers hound me, too?"
11949Well, hang your stupidity, do n''t you know we''re looking at Shaw''s house this very instant?
11949Well, then, how can we get in?"
11949Well, what do you think?
11949Well, what if I am?
11949Well?"
11949Were we doomed to blindness, too?
11949What cared she for the storm?
11949What could cause such a catastrophe naturally?
11949What did it all mean?
11949What did they say?"
11949What did they show, Whiting?"
11949What difference does that make?
11949What do you find?"
11949What do you say to that, madame?"
11949What do you think of that?"
11949What do you want?"
11949What does m''sieur mean?"
11949What forbids that we arrest her at once?
11949What good will it do me if they catch them and my little Adelina is returned to me dead?
11949What has happened?
11949What horrible thing was it had happened last night?
11949What horror did you perpetrate last night?"
11949What if the real Black Hand is any gang of criminals who choose to use that convenient name to extort money?
11949What is it that it is, then?"
11949What is it, Luigi?"
11949What is it?
11949What is it?"
11949What is the Captain thinking of?
11949What is the case?"
11949What is this 23- 1/2 Prince Street?"
11949What is this popinjay like?"
11949What is, the address of this Albano''s?"
11949What is_ your_ story?"
11949What means this?"
11949What odds if Lord Bazelhurst happened to be a middle- aged, addle- pated ass?
11949What say you?"
11949What time''s he coming, Pen?"
11949What was it that you were going to tell me when Marie came in?"
11949What was it?"
11949What was that, Luigi?
11949What will become of her?
11949What will everyone say when this becomes known?"
11949What will he say?
11949What would that gay throng back of those darkened windows down the street think if they knew what was being prepared for them?
11949What would_ I_ do to him?"
11949What''s the matter with you, Kennedy?
11949What''s the matter, Doctor?
11949What''s there to laugh at, my dear?"
11949What''s this?
11949What, the fellow whom my hands snatched from the rack in the house of the Duke of Naples-- has he no word for me?
11949When are you going to see him?"
11949Where can I find you to- morrow?"
11949Where did you find this?"
11949Where do you expect to go at this hour of night?"
11949Where have these letters been?"
11949Where is he?"
11949Where would you be if it were not for me?
11949Where''s the little French chap?''
11949Which was it?
11949Who is this friar that he shall have the gift of life or death in Venice?"
11949Who knows?"
11949Who knows?"
11949Whose house is it?"
11949Why did n''t I think of that sooner?
11949Why do n''t you tear it down?"
11949Why do n''t you untie that hitch rein?
11949Why is he not here?"
11949Why should he be permitted to trespass more than any other common lawbreaker?
11949Why, do n''t you know you might have killed yourself, cutting capers on a day like this?"
11949Will a van hold that many comfortably?
11949Will you be here?"
11949Will you help me put it across?"
11949Will you permit me to explain my presence on your land?"
11949Will you put money into my invention?
11949Will you share in becoming fabulously rich?"
11949Wo n''t he think I''m actually throwing myself at his head?
11949Wo n''t you come inside?
11949Wo n''t you tell me the whole story?"
11949Would I see what I could make of it?
11949Would it do our side any harm?"
11949Would you be so kind as to give me a note to her?"
11949Would you do a favor for her?"
11949Would you mind telling me what you know about it if I promise you that I, too, have something to reveal?"
11949Would you recommend it for a nervous headache?
11949Would you still want to press the suit and let the guilty person escape?"
11949You are acquainted with Mendelà © eff''s periodic table?"
11949You are there, are n''t you?"
11949You came?"
11949You did n''t expect him to stay there all night, did you?
11949You have found it?''
11949You have the money?"
11949You remember recently the so- called''gamblers''war''in which some rivals exploded a bomb on the steps?
11949You remember the big log that lies out in the river up at the bend?
11949You understand me?"
11949You understand that, signorè?"
11949You understand, Captain Falier?"
11949You want me to scrap that three- inch steel door, do you?"
11949You want- a me do your work?"
11949You will, wo n''t you?"
11949You''ll be here when we come back?''
11949You''ve heard of him, monsieur?
11949You, too?"
11949You_ are_ Lady Bazelhurst?"
11949Your brother wants war, does he?
11949Your father-- will he--""My father?
11949_ Qu''est- ce que tu veux que je te dise?_ I might have paid more heavily for the mad intoxication of that last flight.
11949_ Un faux pas_, at the start?
11949almost shouted Kennedy, his eyes blazing,"that you were never served properly by your wife''s lawyers in that suit?"
11949do you see that?
11949he exclaimed angrily, turning about and about again,"am I losing my eyes?
11949is a tough customer to fight,"I remarked, and asked,"Why did n''t you burn the letters?"
11949is that all?"
11949she asked;"and why do you come to this house?"
11949what is it?"
16204A powder strong enough to kill a person?
16204A prisoner? 16204 A specialist?
16204A trial? 16204 A woodchuck?
16204A-- a woman?
16204Ai n''t foolin''?
16204Ai n''t going to back out, are you?
16204All in, are you?
16204An invitation to what?
16204And Fred?
16204And absolutely nothing was stolen?
16204And after that?
16204And before that?
16204And did he get out?
16204And have I helped you?
16204And he wants you to go to the theatre with him-- now?
16204And how had she died?
16204And how is the girl doing?
16204And if I refuse?
16204And if they are, what is he doing with them?
16204And is that all?
16204And kill him?
16204And she fainted in your arms?
16204And that is all you can tell me?
16204And that powder, what did it look like?
16204And the end, doctor, the end?
16204And the patent is yours?
16204And then?
16204And they think-- they suspect-- that that drug was used? 16204 And this is the reason why the police think Miss Langmore the guilty person?"
16204And was n''t the young lady jealous of her stepmother in a way?
16204And we''ll have good times when he''s gone, ai n''t that so, Caddie?
16204And what did Miss Margaret say to that?
16204And what of Mrs. Langmore, did n''t she approve?
16204And what of the other men?
16204And when did you take it off?
16204And who is to be put on the stand?
16204And you also quarreled with your father?
16204And you are certain about the suit being a light gray one and the soft hat matched it?
16204And you are on the track?
16204And you do not believe her?
16204And you escaped?
16204And you found no trace of any poison, or anything of that sort?
16204And you have no idea what the poison was?
16204And you rushed out to get away from what your stepmother was saying to you?
16204And you say you did n''t commit the deed?
16204And you will aid me? 16204 And you-- you are here to arrest me?"
16204Another case?
16204Anybody else?
16204Anybody else?
16204Anything else?
16204Anything else?
16204Anything else?
16204Anything new?
16204Approve? 16204 Are you a government detective?"
16204Are you an-- an officer?
16204Are you better, Margaret?
16204Are you certain you put it in the clothes closet?
16204Are you going to keep me blindfolded?
16204Are you going to tell me what you have in your mind or not, Uncle Adam?
16204Are you in the habit of wearing finger rings and bracelets?
16204Are you related to the Langmores in any way?
16204Are you the judge?
16204Are you transacting business down here?
16204Are you?
16204As many? 16204 Asked you to marry him?"
16204At liberty? 16204 At once?"
16204At the river?
16204Away? 16204 Been taking a constitutional?"
16204But how can they be better for me?
16204But how?
16204But she did think a good deal of the one who is now downstairs?
16204But what are you doing here?
16204But what does it mean?
16204But what does this mean? 16204 But why not look for Miss Langmore instead?"
16204But you will come?
16204But you will try to clear him, if you can, wo n''t you?
16204By the way, were you at the inquest?
16204Ca n''t you get in with him and find out what''s what?
16204Came to the farm? 16204 Can I do anything?
16204Can I do anything?
16204Can not I do something?
16204Can not you trace where the drug went to, Tom?
16204Can she mean Margaret?
16204Can they be shoes he has in his hands?
16204Can this be the same man?
16204Can you furnish me with a list of people who received this stuff from you or from others?
16204Can you tell me anything else?
16204Can you tell me where he stays when in New York?
16204Clearing up the murder mystery?
16204Clews? 16204 Come awake, have ye, miss?"
16204Come, will you accept, Margaret?
16204Could you see anything else?
16204Could you supply me with a bite? 16204 Did Mary Billings, the servant, see anybody?"
16204Did Miss Langmore see anybody?
16204Did Miss Margaret answer?
16204Did Mr. Langmore know of his daughter''s engagement?
16204Did Mrs. Bardon hear all that was said?
16204Did Styles do that job?
16204Did Styles write that note, which was supposed to have been written by Mr. Langmore, saying she must obey or leave the house?
16204Did Watkins know any of the details of the murder?
16204Did he ever bother you after that?
16204Did he mean about the patent?
16204Did he tell you where he got the bill?
16204Did it take all you had for the birds?
16204Did n''t Mrs. Langmore have two sons?
16204Did n''t Styles tell all of us? 16204 Did n''t Styles tell you why?"
16204Did n''t he come here?
16204Did n''t you ask me that before?
16204Did n''t you tell him our rate was twenty- five per cent.?
16204Did she hear anything in the library?
16204Did the man have anything besides the valise?
16204Did they get him?
16204Did they have any other business relations?
16204Did they see any suspicious characters around the Langmore mansion?
16204Did you come across the stream?
16204Did you ever see the man before?
16204Did you find anything unusual?
16204Did you get your man?
16204Did you hear anything after the slamming of the front door?
16204Did you hear anything more?
16204Did you hear if Mrs. Bardon and her son were home all morning?
16204Did you notice anything unusual?
16204Did you see Miss Langmore?
16204Did you see any other man around?
16204Did you see anybody come in or go out?
16204Did you see anybody round the place when you went past?
16204Did you see her throw the chloroform away?
16204Did you see me with the shoes?

16204Did you take anything from the safe?
16204Did you wake her up?
16204Did your mother tell you anything more about the counterfeits?
16204Did your work as a secret service man bring you to this place?
16204Do n''t Tom spend his money?
16204Do n''t you know?
16204Do n''t you recognize me?
16204Do n''t you remember the farmer who asked you for a chew of terbacker?
16204Do n''t you think I ought to call in a specialist?
16204Do they suspect anybody else?
16204Do you know anything of that drug, Letty? 16204 Do you know that Margaret Langmore has disappeared?"
16204Do you know the reason?
16204Do you know what evidence he possesses?
16204Do you know what he did with it?
16204Do you know where the Vanderslip Building is?
16204Do you know why he called?
16204Do you mean to say you found the bills?
16204Do you represent a paint house, too?
16204Do you smell it?
16204Do you think Mrs. Langmore would act in such a fashion?
16204Do you think Tom is guilty?
16204Do you think it possible that Mr. and Mrs. Langmore could have been smothered in that way?
16204Do you think they quarreled between themselves after you left, or after your father came back from the bank?
16204Do you think those counterfeits had anything to do with the crime?
16204Do you think you can make any money out of the patent?
16204Do you think you had a right to tamper with the safe in the library?
16204Do you want to come in the house and see Miss Langmore?
16204Do you want to take the letter along?
16204Does he belong to the secret service?
16204Does it? 16204 Does n''t that look like it?"
16204Eh? 16204 Eh?"
16204Evaporated?
16204Excuse me, Mr. Case, but how is it that you take an interest in this affair?
16204Explain what?
16204Explain? 16204 Finger nail scratches?"
16204For how long?
16204Foreigner, eh?
16204Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict?
16204Going to search him?
16204Got to have a real Englishman''s drink, eh?
16204Had anything been stolen?
16204Had he much money in the house?
16204Had you not better wait until the specialist arrives?
16204Has Miss Langmore had anything to say about her father?
16204Has anybody called?
16204Has anybody else been here?
16204Has anything happened?
16204Has he been here lately?
16204Has he been here since the tragedy?
16204Have any of you any questions to ask?
16204Have the police any idea as to how the murderer got into the house and got out again?
16204Have the safe makers opened the safe yet?
16204Have you any idea how the estate is to be divided?
16204Have you any idea why this awful deed was committed?
16204Have you anything else to say, doctor?
16204Have you been following me?
16204Have you discovered anything unusual, Mrs. Morse, that had to do with this tragedy?
16204Have you heard anything of the Langmore estate?
16204Have you learned anything new?
16204Have you learned anything unusual?
16204He is a commercial traveler like yourself?
16204He is the young man who came here and engaged you?
16204He was rich?
16204He would n''t care if you had n''t made some sort of a botch--"I? 16204 Her?
16204Hi, Queen, what''s the matter?
16204How about this bit of wrapping paper?
16204How are the sketches getting along? 16204 How can I play any game on you, tied up in this fashion?
16204How can you do that?
16204How could I help it?
16204How could he pen that if he was guilty himself?
16204How could he work the combination?
16204How did Mrs. Langmore seem to appear when she came to the kitchen?
16204How did he take your refusal?
16204How did the man look?
16204How did the man look?
16204How did they happen to use that strange powder?
16204How did you get here-- run away?
16204How did you get out of the house?
16204How did you learn all that?
16204How do you know that?
16204How do you know? 16204 How had he been killed?"
16204How is he to be killed?
16204How is the bloody business going?
16204How long ago was this?
16204How long did you remain down at the barn?
16204How long have I been here?
16204How long have you been connected with the secret service?
16204How long have you lived with the Langmore family?
16204How long will that take?
16204How many of the family lived at home?
16204How much do I owe you?
16204How much?
16204How old is Miss Langmore?
16204How shall I go?
16204How soon?
16204How? 16204 How?"
16204Hullo, going to be a commercial traveler yourself, eh?
16204Humph, sick, eh? 16204 I believe you said the Ostrellos are not well off?"
16204I did? 16204 I guess you have n''t rounded up quite as many as I have, have you?"
16204I made a mistake?
16204I want to know why you followed me up?
16204I wish I knew where he got that counterfeit?
16204I wonder if I can swim out to the stream?
16204I wonder if this connects with the piece I found under the safe?
16204I wonder what Barry Langmore would say to this, if he was alive?
16204I wonder who is trying to scare folks away from the old mill? 16204 I''m in this game to a finish, see?
16204I-- I, must I tell? 16204 I-- I-- may I speak?"
16204I-- that is--"Who was that man? 16204 If I answer that question, will you become my wife?"
16204If he is away-- out of town-- in Europe, or on some case which he can not leave, what am I to do?
16204If the man was innocent of all wrong- doing why did n''t he turn those bills over to the authorities? 16204 If you do n''t mind telling, what is your business down here, Matlock Styles?"
16204If you go back, do you know what they will do? 16204 In that case the murder might have been unintentional?"
16204In there? 16204 Is Doctor Bardon present?"
16204Is Mr. Adams in?
16204Is Tim goin''to the Rosebud''s picnic?
16204Is any other house near by?
16204Is anybody else on the case?
16204Is anybody here?
16204Is he a frequent visitor here?
16204Is he engaged to her?
16204Is it necessary that I tell you why?
16204Is it unlocked?
16204Is it yours?
16204Is n''t it all right, Uncle Adam?
16204Is that all?
16204Is that so? 16204 Is that so?
16204Is that the Bardon house yonder?
16204Is that you, Vapp?
16204Is the place surrounded by a fence?
16204Is this a game?
16204Is your man around here?
16204Is-- is it over?
16204It is curious how these two cases have wound around each other, or is it all one case?
16204It was that drug-- Letty, are you sure they have found out about that drug?
16204It would have killed you if you had placed it to your mouth or nose?
16204Kicking again, eh?
16204Leave you?
16204Let me ask, was the daughter on good terms with her father?
16204Look here, did he tell you all this, or is this some game?
16204Margaret gone? 16204 Matlock Styles is your master, is he?"
16204May I ask if you are now at liberty?
16204May I ask where you got the stuff?
16204Me? 16204 Mighty pale, ai n''t she?"
16204Money? 16204 Mr. Coroner,"began Raymond, rising,"is it legally necessary that she answer?
16204Mr. Sudley, where are you?
16204Mrs. Gaspard, did Mr. Pickerell say he thought Mr. Langmore had written this note?
16204Mrs. Langmore was quite dead?
16204My innocence? 16204 Nigger?"
16204No visitors at all?
16204Nobody?
16204Nothing in the shape of any foreign compound? 16204 Now, Miss Langmore,"he exclaimed, as he straightened up at the conclusion of her recital,"whom do you suspect of this crime?"
16204Now, Mrs. Morse, did you find anything else of value?
16204Now, has anybody got anything to say?
16204Now, tell me, how do you think the two were killed?
16204Now, then, what do you want to see me about?
16204Now, what have you got to say about Matlock?
16204Now, what was it?
16204Number One, have you performed the ghostly manifestations?
16204Oh, Mr. Adams, can you not do something for me? 16204 Oh, Mr. Adams, what does this mean?"
16204Oh, Uncle Adam, what is it?
16204Oh, certainly; but where did it come from? 16204 Oh, how can I ever thank you enough?"
16204Oh, merciful Heaven? 16204 On account of the counterfeits?"
16204On the morning that-- that--"That the tragedy occurred?
16204One of those bills you had tried to pass at a theatre, eh?
16204Phat was Oi doin''? 16204 Phat?"
16204Raise much grain?
16204Rather busy to- day, but what can I do for you?
16204Raymond Case, eh? 16204 Really?"
16204Right? 16204 Running this way?"
16204Say, you do n''t like your job, do you?
16204See anything strange around the Langmore house-- any tracks or anything like that?
16204Shall we take her home?
16204She will-- will come around all right?
16204So far as you are aware, Mr. Case, did Mr. Langmore have any personal enemies?
16204So soon?
16204So that''s his game, if it comes to a showing of hands? 16204 So you are working for Miss Langmore?"
16204So you ran away, did you? 16204 So you ran away, eh?
16204Styles, supposing we talk this matter over?
16204Sure it was our man?
16204Sure, an''Oi--"Chief, will you call a policeman?
16204Sure, phat could Oi do? 16204 Talk it over?
16204Tell me at once, did Matlock Styles say anything about poisoning this young lady?
16204Thanks, but do you think I want to die?
16204That''s all?
16204That''s sure?
16204The Knoxbury road? 16204 The disappearance of John Darr-- the case all New York is talking about?"
16204The inquest? 16204 The safe was closed at the time of the tragedy?"
16204The victims had not been struck down?
16204Then Miss Margaret was the only child home?
16204Then a five dollar bill means something to you, eh?
16204Then a person might have sneaked in by the back way?
16204Then he is suspected of these murders?
16204Then it has gone as far as this?
16204Then the Ostrellos are not rich?
16204Then the authorities got them?
16204Then what was it?
16204Then why did n''t you look inside? 16204 Then why did yez bring me here, I dunno?
16204Then why do n''t you tell me, Letty? 16204 Then you admit that you called at the house?"
16204Then you admit that you did quarrel?
16204Then you admit you lied to me, do you?
16204Then you arrived at the house about as soon as the police?
16204Then you know all about using chloroform?
16204Then you know the real murderer?
16204Then you say the mortgages have not been paid?
16204There were no marks of violence?
16204This is Mr. Cephas Carboy?
16204To see me?
16204Tom was here the day before the tragedy?
16204Tom, did you ever imagine they would think you were guilty?
16204Want me up there first?
16204Want to locate the counterfeits?
16204Want to see me? 16204 Was Mr. Langmore present at this quarrel?"
16204Was any of it sold or used in the vicinity of Sidham?
16204Was anything out of order, as if the assassin had been scared off while hunting around for something to steal?
16204Was it for that bit of paper or for the something that he secured in his mother''s room?
16204Was it the same man?
16204Was n''t that all right?
16204Was n''t this Ostrello afraid to handle the stuff?
16204Was that window open?
16204Was that you?
16204Was the patent matter settled up?
16204Was the valise a light or a dark one?
16204Watkins? 16204 We?
16204Well, Letty, how are you this morning?
16204Well, now you are in our power, what have you to say for yourself?
16204Well, to drop him, do you know a man named John Watkins, of Bryport?
16204Well, what is your idea of this crime?
16204Well?
16204Well?
16204Well?
16204Were the pair strangled, smothered, poisoned?
16204Wha-- what will they do next?
16204What I would like to know is, What made you sick? 16204 What about the other son-- Dick?"
16204What about the shirtwaist?
16204What about the word from Buffalo?
16204What about?
16204What are ye wantin''now, Mat?
16204What are you doing in this field?
16204What are you going to do next?
16204What brought you?
16204What could have become of it?
16204What did you do then?
16204What did you do with what remained?
16204What did you see me do?
16204What did you see? 16204 What did you see?"
16204What do I know, Nellie Casey? 16204 What do you know about these counterfeits?
16204What do you mean by that?
16204What do you mean? 16204 What do you think the jury will do?"
16204What do you think you saw?
16204What do you think?
16204What do you want me to do?
16204What do you want me to say?
16204What do you want?
16204What else is there to think? 16204 What else?"
16204What else?
16204What else?
16204What for, counterfeiting?
16204What happened next?
16204What have you to say, Number Five?
16204What is his salary?
16204What is it, Letty? 16204 What is it, boy?"
16204What is it, dear?
16204What is it?
16204What is it?
16204What is that?
16204What is your theory of the murders?
16204What is your theory?
16204What kind of bills were they, Uncle Adam?
16204What kind of rings are they?
16204What made you think that?
16204What makes you imagine I am guilty?
16204What name, please?
16204What next?
16204What of the man you have been following?
16204What sort of a man would you take this Styles to he?
16204What sort of promoting did he do?
16204What time was this, as near as you can remember?
16204What time was this?
16204What was his business?
16204What was his name?
16204What was said then?
16204What was said? 16204 What was she doing at the time?"
16204What was that? 16204 What was the cause of death?"
16204What was the name of the firm?
16204What were they?
16204What were you doing around there?
16204What were you doing?
16204What''s that?
16204What''s that?
16204What''s the bloomin''reason, I''d like to know?
16204What''s the cause of the trouble?
16204What''s the idea?
16204What''s the matter?
16204What''s the row out there?
16204What''s the use of going back? 16204 What''s the use?
16204What, not at all?
16204What?
16204When am I on?
16204When did it rain last around here?
16204When did the coroner say the examination was to be continued?
16204When did you do the chloroforming?
16204When the police arrived what did they find of importance?
16204When was that?
16204When was this?
16204When was this?
16204When you came away from the house and dropped your hat, did you go back again, crawling along by the bushes?
16204When you came to the house, after the tragedy, Mr. Ostrello, what were you so anxious about?
16204When, now?
16204When?
16204Where am I?
16204Where am I?
16204Where are the bodies?
16204Where are these people located?
16204Where are you going now?
16204Where are you going to take me?
16204Where are you going to- morrow?
16204Where are you stopping, Mr. Watkins, in case I wish to communicate with you again?
16204Where can he go?
16204Where did this come from, Letty?
16204Where did you meet Miss Langmore?
16204Where does that door lead to?
16204Where have you kept yourself? 16204 Where is Miss Langmore?"
16204Where is he now?
16204Where is she? 16204 Where is the nerve he used to have?
16204Where is your brother?
16204Where shall we take him?
16204Where to?
16204Where was Mrs. Langmore at this time?
16204Where was he?
16204Where was the servant?
16204Where were you from ten o''clock to twelve of the morning of the tragedy?
16204Where?
16204Which way did you go to get to Hopgood''s?
16204While you were in the house, did you leave the kitchen?
16204Who are the other members of the family?
16204Who are you?
16204Who could have been so wicked as to take your life?
16204Who is it?
16204Who left this unlocked?
16204Who says so?
16204Who was it?
16204Who was that man who just came in?
16204Who was the man?
16204Who was the stranger?
16204Who will speak for you?
16204Why do you ask that? 16204 Why do you ask that?"
16204Why not?
16204Why should n''t I believe you?
16204Why, what do you know about that, Caddie Dix?
16204Why, what''s the matter now?
16204Why?
16204Will they make me go to the funerals?
16204Will you consent to marry me?
16204Will you go along?
16204Will you help me?
16204Will you let Doctor Bird know?
16204Will you let me have the diamond ring?
16204With you, Raymond? 16204 Wo n''t come, eh?"
16204Wo n''t you explain?
16204Wo n''t you listen to reason?
16204Wonder if he manages it on twelve hundred a year?
16204Wonder why they are so careful?
16204Wonderful disguises, eh? 16204 Working on this Langmore affair?"
16204Worse?
16204Would there have been traces?
16204Would you like a cup of tea, or a bit of toast? 16204 Would you like it?"
16204Would you murder me?
16204Yes, but Tom, you-- you-- Oh, how can I explain? 16204 You are certain?"
16204You are sure he ca n''t get out of there?
16204You are sure it is blood?
16204You are sure you saw him go toward the house?
16204You are the gentleman that wishes to see me?
16204You are-- I mean, I believe you know the relationship between Miss Bernard and myself?
16204You came right from the brook to my place?
16204You can prove that you were at Stony Hill from ten to twelve that morning?
16204You can prove that?
16204You did n''t see anybody?
16204You did n''t see him after that?
16204You do n''t mean the woman who was murdered with her husband?
16204You do n''t?
16204You found no marks of violence, as if there had been a struggle?
16204You got him out of the way?
16204You had to go out to get some fresh air?
16204You have a high regard for the young lady-- you are close friends?
16204You have discovered something?
16204You have had her properly guarded?
16204You have n''t seen him, have you?
16204You have the proofs?
16204You let him go through the house?
16204You mean Tom Ostrello and that young lady from your office?
16204You mean Tom Ostrello?
16204You mean that?
16204You mean the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Barry Langmore at Beechwood Hill?
16204You mean what was I looking for?
16204You prefer to answer?
16204You say he has called on you a number of times?
16204You think he opened the safe?
16204You think it must have evaporated?
16204You want me to look out for counterfeits?
16204You want to elect a new leader?
16204You were dressed in a gray suit and wore a slouch hat, and you entered by the back way?
16204You will make a clean and clear statement?
16204You wish me to tell all I know?
16204You wo n''t talk then?
16204You''ll not answer?
16204You''re right-- and we mean to keep it; eh, boys?
16204You-- you know something?
16204You?
16204Your father took Mrs. Langmore''s part?
16204Your father was quite dead when you found him?
16204''Twas a very bitter scene, an''me heart wint out to the dear girrul--""And what did Miss Margaret reply to that?"
16204A botch?
16204A fortune for nothing?
16204Adams?"
16204Adams?"
16204Adams?"
16204After you came back to the house before practicing what did you do?"
16204After you heard the strange noise how long was it before you heard Miss Langmore scream?"
16204Against him?
16204Ai n''t I on the track of those counterfeits?
16204Am I right?"
16204And did he place it here or find it here?"
16204And had not those same sleuths of the law been angry at him ever since?
16204And he has invited you to go to the theatre with him?"
16204And now--""Have you carried any of it lately?"
16204And now--"Then they suspect the servant girl?"
16204And yet--""What, Tom?"
16204And you say you had the safe open?"
16204And yours?"
16204Anything else?"
16204Anything else?"
16204Anything else?"
16204Anything more?"
16204Are not other detectives already working on the case?"
16204Are they after you?"
16204Are you particularly busy?"
16204Awful crime that, eh?
16204But do you think you are going to convict Matlock Styles of the tragedy?"
16204But have n''t I told you?
16204But how?
16204But what are you going to do with a lot of pig- headed country police--""How did they come to suspect her?
16204But what is this band-- if it is any of my business?"
16204But why--""Will you kindly see if all of your shoes are there?"
16204But, Mr. Adams, are you not hungry, and wo n''t you have a lunch?"
16204By the way, did you know Mr. Thomas Ostrello had arrived?"
16204By the way, did you say you were at the house?"
16204CHAPTER XIV IS THIS MADNESS?
16204Ca n''t you trust me when I tell you that I am speaking for your own good?
16204Can I take a look at my mother''s room?"
16204Can a man do more than that?
16204Can not you trust me, girl?
16204Capes?"
16204Come now, honestly, do n''t you think so yourself?"
16204Come over, wo n''t you?"
16204Could the Englishman be honest in what he said, or was he playing a deep game?
16204Could the Englishman really mean what he said?
16204Did I not tell you that another opened the safe?--a fellow who has been acting queerly ever since I caught sight of him?
16204Did he say what made him sick?"
16204Did his coming to Bryport have anything to do with the tragedy or with the counterfeits?
16204Did n''t one of them millionaires run over two of my hens with his automobile an''never stop to settle the damage?
16204Did n''t they prove that I was guilty?
16204Did you hear or see anything from the barn while you were down there?"
16204Do I look like I was rollin''in wealth?"
16204Do n''t everybody think the girl is guilty, and if they clear her is n''t there another string to the bow?"
16204Do n''t you know things look beastly black for you?"
16204Do n''t you remember, Margaret?"
16204Do n''t you think he is-- is rather nice?"
16204Do n''t you understand the matter?
16204Do you expect to double up with him?
16204Do you feel a bit stronger?"
16204Do you keep your shoes in that closet?"
16204Do you know anything of the tragedy?"
16204Do you know how the body was lying?"
16204Do you think it possible that one killed the other and then committed suicide?"
16204Do you want to come along?"
16204Get you some water?"
16204Girl, are you going to answer or not?"
16204Going to stay in this room all night?"
16204Granby?"
16204Had he a right to examine the contents of this strong box?
16204Had he not himself once saved a poor Jew from hanging after several country detectives had apparently proved the fellow guilty?
16204Had it been opened after the murder and then closed again?
16204Have I been sick?"
16204Have another glass of wine?"
16204Have n''t seen anything of Mrs. Langmore''s son to- day?"
16204Have you any idea as to whether he is treating you fairly?"
16204Have you anything else to tell, doctor?"
16204Have you-- ahem-- examined it?"
16204He was at Stony Hill, was he?
16204How can I back out?
16204How can he help me?
16204How could he tell her?
16204How did he get there?"
16204How did you get away after I put you in that other room in the dark?"
16204How did you get here?"
16204How does he look?"
16204How far was she from Sidham?
16204How is Miss Langmore this morning?"
16204How long?"
16204I believe you think the young lady innocent of the crime of which she is accused?"
16204I have missed you so much-- and the comforting smokes we had together?
16204I suppose you are going to try to clear Miss Langmore, are n''t you?"
16204I suppose you know where it is?"
16204I suppose you''ve heard about it?"
16204I wonder how it feels to be hung or electrocuted?"
16204I wonder what the mortgages were doing in with those bills?"
16204I-- I-- don''t you approve of him?"
16204If I tell them that I caught you, that you begged me to let you get away-- that you even said you would marry me, if I would aid you, what then?
16204If discovered by any one, what would be the outcome?
16204If the shirtwaist was hers, how did that fellow get possession of it?
16204If you saw or heard anything, what was it?"
16204Is it fair for you to keep silent?"
16204Is n''t it funny that one can think a thing out in one''s sleep?
16204Is n''t it horrible?"
16204Is n''t that far better than to stay here, to be hung by a lot of country bumpkins, who do n''t understand the matter at all?"
16204Is n''t that natural?
16204Is there nothing we can give her to counteract the effects?
16204It was his mother''s home, was n''t it?"
16204It was silly, I know-- but-- but--""Did you hear anything unusual while you were here?
16204It would be a feather in his cap, eh?"
16204It''s a deep mystery, is n''t it?"
16204Langmore?"
16204Langmore?"
16204Langmore?"
16204Langmore?"
16204Langmore?"
16204Langmore?"
16204Langmore?"
16204Langmore?"
16204Langmore?"
16204Let me see, what street is it on?"
16204Listen, do you know that I am immensely wealthy?
16204Mr. Blackwell, what is the verdict?"
16204Mrs. Gaspard, do you know who wrote this note?"
16204Must I go over it again?
16204Now about the diamond ring belonging to Miss Langmore, which I gave you a short while ago to examine?
16204Now then, will you do me a favor?"
16204Now, what is it all about?"
16204Now, what''s the game?"
16204Number Four, what have you to report?"
16204Number Three, what of the goods you shipped to Philadelphia day before yesterday?"
16204Of your going out with him?"
16204Ostrello?"
16204Perhaps he spoke to you about it?"
16204Say, are you crazy?"
16204See here, is this a hold- up?"
16204Shall I read it?"
16204Shall I try to work it, or try to get out?"
16204She is more quiet, but--""She is not clear in her mind?"
16204She raved and at last cried out that she was guilty--""And was she guilty?"
16204Should he return to the vicinity of Matlock Styles''house and set a watch?
16204Should she go right up and try to find her father?
16204Should she make a leap and end it all?
16204So he told all of you that I did the job, eh?
16204So you think you know me?"
16204Styles?"
16204Supposing her stepmother was there, would she try to make more trouble?
16204Surely you have not been to see me for a year, or is it longer?
16204That does n''t look much as if he were guilty, does it?"
16204That he was over to Stony Hill at the time the deed was done?"
16204That''s easy enough, is n''t it?"
16204That''s rather odd; is n''t it?"
16204The question was, What?
16204The safe has not yet been opened?"
16204The tension becomes so great-- something snaps-- and then?
16204Then you have been following me up?"
16204Then you know him, Uncle Adam?
16204Then you quarreled also?"
16204They will surely hang you?"
16204This being so, the question at once arose, what had brought the pair together?
16204To you?"
16204Two here in the city-- one over in New Jersey-- one in Yonkers, and--""But you will undertake a case for me, if I pay you well for it, wo n''t you?"
16204Was I on trial, or what?"
16204Was it merely that a crime had been committed-- something you were not accustomed to?"
16204Was it possible that the son of the woman who had been murdered was guilty of the double tragedy?
16204Was she not Mrs. Langmore''s daughter also?"
16204Was there a safe in the house?"
16204Was there nothing else?"
16204Was you to the inquest?"
16204Wh-- who are you?"
16204What I want to know is: What are we to do?
16204What are you doing here?"
16204What are you going to do?"
16204What could be behind that barrier?
16204What did you say to him?"
16204What do you mean?"
16204What do you wish me to do?"
16204What does he expect?
16204What does her stepbrother say about it?"
16204What does it mean?"
16204What fer?
16204What for?"
16204What has happened to you?"
16204What have I done?
16204What have you to say on that point?"
16204What have you to say, Number Six?"
16204What if the shock should prove so severe that Margaret would never get over it?
16204What kind of a man was this Barry Langmore?"
16204What more do you want?"
16204What of Watkins?"
16204What of the doors?"
16204What of the other two?"
16204What struck me?
16204What was it?"
16204What was it?"
16204What was that about?"
16204What was the best way to get out?
16204What were you doing with them?"
16204What''s got into the confounded combination?"
16204What''s that?"
16204What''s the young man''s name, Letty?"
16204What''s up?"
16204When did Matlock Styles last call on your father?"
16204When did the girl and her stepmother quarrel last?
16204When did the tragedy occur?"
16204When did they quarrel last?"
16204When you got to this spot did you happen to look over to the Langmore house?"
16204When you say blood do you mean human blood?"
16204Where am I?
16204Where can I get the stuff?"
16204Where did you find it?"
16204Where did you get those?
16204Where is Paul?"
16204Where is she?"
16204Where?"
16204Where?"
16204Who is the party?"
16204Who?"
16204Who?"
16204Why are you all staring at me in this manner?
16204Why did n''t you say something before?
16204Why did you desert me?
16204Why should I?
16204Why-- why should anybody imagine I was guilty?
16204Will I see you to- morrow?"
16204Will they give me a trial?"
16204Will you come along?"
16204Will you follow this up, too?"
16204Will you have a smoke?"
16204Will you have one?"
16204Yes, they proved it, and I must-- must-- Will they hang me or electrocute me?
16204You go and poison two people and then--""Who said I did the poisoning?"
16204You know Miss Bernard, who works for me here?"
16204You know how the department is about such things?"
16204You mean if a person was boxed up with it-- like one killed by gas?"
16204You mean you were doing the housework, eh?"
16204You say Miss Langmore seems to be resting easier?"
16204You say the body was lying right here?"
16204You will show me the road?"
16204You wo n''t trust a fellow, and yet you expect--""Never mind, Pink, do n''t get on your ear so quick--""Ai n''t I got a right to get on my ear?
16204any idea of the nature of the poison?"
16204do n''t you understand, Uncle Adam?"
16204got company?"
16204what''s this, a hold- up?"
10373A document of importance?
10373A gentleman, now? 10373 About Marbury being an ex- convict?"
10373About half- past eleven, or a little later, that evening, did you go along the Embankment, on the Temple Gardens side, for a walk?
10373About-- what?
10373Ah, you remember me?
10373Alone?
10373Always on the Temple side?
10373And about that boy of his?
10373And at that place?
10373And he kept silence now, I suppose, because he did n''t want his daughters to know about his past?
10373And he''s never given you any documentary evidence of any sort to prove the truth of that story?
10373And how old are you, and how old is your sister?
10373And how on earth can I waste time guessing?
10373And how''s that to be done?
10373And is n''t Mr. Spargo writing all these articles about the Marbury case? 10373 And not-- not simply out to make effective news?"
10373And nothing happened at the police- court?
10373And of what was he convicted?
10373And old sporting matters?
10373And on what charge do you propose to hand me over to the police? 10373 And so you went along and looked?"
10373And supposing you saw a photograph of the tall gentleman with the grey beard?
10373And that you know where he is?
10373And the other gentleman?
10373And then?
10373And they went to Marbury''s room?
10373And this man, sir? 10373 And what did he say?"
10373And what did you say to that?
10373And what was it, sir?
10373And what was that?
10373And what will you do next, sir?
10373And when the race- meeting fell through?
10373And where do you live, and what do you do?
10373And who was John Maitland?
10373And who was he?
10373And yet, after losing sight of this merely slight acquaintance for over twenty years, you, on meeting him, take great interest in him?
10373And yet-- what is it we shall know if----"If what?
10373And you came to England-- how long after that?
10373And you have come to the conclusion that-- but what conclusion have you come to?
10373And you really expect to get some information through that?
10373And you reside at 23, Cumbrae Side, Kilmarnock, Scotland?
10373And you say that''s a ticket for the stand?
10373And you think Mr. Aylmore can tell?
10373And you think you can do it?
10373And you want----?
10373And you wo n''t print it?
10373And your mother is dead?
10373And-- it''s a lie?
10373And-- the gentleman?
10373And-- what are you doing-- you, yourself? 10373 And-- who is he?"
10373Anything wrong?
10373Are there many?
10373Are you any nearer-- is Rathbury any nearer? 10373 Are you?"
10373At daybreak?
10373At what address?
10373Aye?
10373But as whom-- as what?
10373But pray, how do you know that I have the sad shame of being John Maitland''s sister- in- law?
10373But the general thing, Spargo?
10373But there-- so do gentlemen who write for the papers, do n''t they?
10373But what is it?
10373But what makes him think that?
10373But what on earth is that?
10373But when you met, you knew each other at once?
10373But why should a man deposit an empty box?
10373But,he added, with a sly laugh,"I suppose you want some more good copy, eh?"
10373But-- how did you know they were his daughters?
10373But-- how do you know that was the thing that Marbury was struck down with?
10373But-- the bank people?
10373But-- the late hour?
10373But-- the others? 10373 But-- what are you after, Spargo?"
10373But-- why?
10373Ca n''t see in it any resemblance to any man you''ve ever known?
10373Can you arrange for me to be present when that comes off?
10373Can you tell me what that is?
10373Can you tell us of any person now living who knew Marbury in London at the time under discussion-- twenty to twenty- two or three years ago?
10373Can you tell us, as near as possible, what time that would be?
10373Can you think, Spargo?
10373Close friends?
10373Come our way again then, sir?
10373Could I ever forget it?
10373Could you recognize him from that?
10373Dead, eh? 10373 Dead?"
10373Did Maitland go up to London much in those days?
10373Did anybody of the name of Marbury put up here yesterday-- elderly man, grey hair, fresh complexion?
10373Did he mention his ship?
10373Did he pull out his purse in your presence, now?
10373Did n''t Aylmore say that the real culprit at Cloudhampton was another man-- his clerk or something of that sort?
10373Did n''t I say I should get some news? 10373 Did n''t ask him what he meant?"
10373Did n''t give you any hint as to what was in it?
10373Did n''t you say that you knew a man who lives in that block in the entry of which Marbury was found?
10373Did you connect that man with the gentleman in the grey suit?
10373Did you ever hear the name of the gentleman who took the boy away?
10373Did you ever visit him in prison?
10373Did you know the man?
10373Did you see Mr. Anderson enter then?
10373Do n''t you see the old chap''s done up? 10373 Do n''t you, now?"
10373Do the inhabitants die much of inanition?
10373Do you know him as an inmate of the Temple?
10373Do you know the way to it?
10373Do you know the way?
10373Do you know where Mr. Anderson''s rooms in the Temple are?
10373Do you mean to say those two-- Elphick and Cardlestone-- would take this way?
10373Do you mean-- what was his occupation?
10373Do you object to that?
10373Do you recognize that photograph as that of anybody you know?
10373Do you remember taking a photograph of the child of John Maitland, the bank manager, some twenty or twenty- one years ago?
10373Do you still happen to have a copy of it?
10373Do you suggest anything?
10373Do you think he does?
10373Do you think he''d tell me a bit about those Australian stamps which Marbury showed to Criedir, the dealer?
10373Do you think that old chap was killed for what he may have had on him?
10373Do you think they know anything of the actual murder?
10373Do you-- do you think I could possibly see-- the body?
10373Do? 10373 Does Aylmore know that he''s been identified?"
10373Does anybody suppose that my father would murder him for the sake of robbing him of whatever he had on him?
10373Easy to find all these things out?
10373Eh?
10373Elderly man?
10373Ever heard from him?
10373Ever heard of him?
10373Ever seen that writing before?
10373Every one?
10373For what reason, eh? 10373 Getting nearer-- a bit nearer-- eh?"
10373Good heavens-- what game?
10373Good?
10373Guardian,he said,"why do n''t you tell what you know?
10373Guardian,he said,"why have you or Mr. Cardlestone given this man these cheques and securities?
10373Had he received a call from Marbury?
10373Had you noticed anything?
10373Have I? 10373 Have another drink?"
10373Have you got some idea about this, young man?
10373Have you read the accounts of it in my paper, the_ Watchman_?
10373Have you seen anything of Mr. Elphick this morning?
10373Have you seen him, since?
10373Have you told Cardlestone what you''ve just told me?
10373Have you?
10373He wo n''t say anything?
10373He would have it on him when he was-- as we believe he was-- murdered and robbed?
10373His leather box?
10373His name? 10373 His?
10373How are you to tell that you wo n''t be imposed upon?
10373How came Aylmore to be identified?
10373How came you to find him, then?
10373How do you do, sir?
10373How do you do?
10373How do you get to Market Milcaster?
10373How do you know that it is a murder case?
10373How far did you follow them?
10373How far did you walk?
10373How far?
10373How long did your acquaintanceship with him last-- what period did it extend over?
10373How long have you known him by that name?
10373How long-- roughly speaking?
10373How much do you want for your secret?
10373How often, then?
10373How old is your father?
10373How was the thing discovered?
10373How,asked Breton, sternly,"can you prove it?
10373How?
10373How?
10373I believe you stayed at De Keyser''s Hotel, at the Blackfriars end of the Embankment?
10373I gather from this report,said Spargo,"that everything came out suddenly-- unexpectedly?"
10373I hope,said Spargo politely,"that Miss Baylis is not an invalid?"
10373I may ask you a few questions about him?
10373I said-- What did you say to that?
10373I say again what''s all that to me?
10373I say, Spargo, is that really so?
10373I see-- what,he went on, with sudden abruptness,"what shall you do about Breton?"
10373I should say,he said,"that you know as much about sporting matters as any man writing about''em?"
10373I suppose he''s said something?
10373I suppose one can talk until the judge enters?
10373I suppose you know as much as he does-- about this?
10373I suppose you read the newspapers and possibly the_ Watchman_, Miss Baylis?
10373I suppose you''ve heard the news?
10373I understand that you desire to ask me some question about John Maitland, of Market Milcaster?
10373I understand that you wish to see me?
10373I?
10373If you please, sir, is Mr. Spargo, of the_ Watchman_, here? 10373 If you will hear what was done for the boy''s sake-- eh?"
10373If-- what?
10373In 1891? 10373 In fact, you wo n''t tell us any more than you choose to tell?"
10373In pursuance of which,observed Breton, drily,"I think you mentioned that you were the first person to find my father lying dead?"
10373In that case,she said,"what do you want to ask?"
10373Indeed, sir?
10373Is his name there?
10373Is it not a fact that you could, if you would, tell this court more about John Marbury and your acquaintanceship with him twenty years ago?
10373Is it possible to get that box opened?
10373Is it what you think?
10373Is n''t Mr. Justice Borrow sitting in one of the courts this morning?
10373Is that what you''re going to say in your article tonight?
10373Is that-- certain?
10373Is this really Mr. Breton''s first case?
10373It can be seen? 10373 It is your belief that Mr. Aylmore, when you met him, was accompanied by the man who, according to the photographs, was John Marbury?"
10373It was quite a slight acquaintanceship, then?
10373Know? 10373 London''s an ant- heap, is n''t it?
10373Look here,he continued when they had penetrated into a small vestibule,"does n''t old Crowfoot turn in here about this time every night?"
10373Material?
10373May I be allowed to make an explanation, sir?
10373May we speak to you?
10373Mr. Elphick still interesting himself in the Marbury case?
10373Mr. Quarterpage,said Spargo,"what''s your own honest opinion?"
10373Mr. Walters? 10373 Must the police come?"
10373Never mentioned it to anybody until now, when you were sent for to come here?
10373Never saw him during that time until you met accidentally in the way you have described to us?
10373No more?
10373No one had recognized him?
10373Nobody been in yet?
10373Nobody you could go to for information about the past?
10373Not there? 10373 Now, on that night in question, did Mr. Anderson leave again by your lodge?"
10373Now, what did I argue from that? 10373 Now, what''s to be done?"
10373Now, you''re absolutely sure about what you heard him exclaim?
10373Now--?
10373Odd how things turn up, is n''t it? 10373 Of course, neither of you heard anything suspicious?"
10373Of, I see, the_ Watchman_? 10373 Oh, by the by,"he said,"is n''t your guardian, Mr. Elphick, a big authority on philately?"
10373Oh?
10373Oh?
10373On the evening of June 21st last were you in London on your way to Paris?
10373One moment,said the old gentleman, as Spargo was hurrying away,"do you think this Mr. Aylmore really murdered Maitland?"
10373Perhaps his scheme does n''t fit in with yours, Mr. Spargo? 10373 Perhaps you know who did, then?"
10373Put on you, was it?
10373Quiet?
10373Quite sure about it? 10373 Really important?"
10373Remember anything about that other gentleman?
10373Say when they''d be back?
10373Say you wo n''t print it tonight?
10373Say? 10373 Search him, d''ye see?
10373See him go in and out regularly?
10373Serious?
10373Seriously, do you think you''re getting any nearer anything?
10373Shall I put the things on the table?
10373Shall you be at Bow Street tomorrow morning?
10373Shall you go?
10373So that you knew him quite well?
10373So you know that gentleman-- make sure now-- as Mr. Anderson, an inmate of the Temple?
10373So, I suppose, are you, Cardlestone? 10373 Some mystery, eh?"
10373Somebody listening?
10373Something handsome, I hope?
10373Soon-- afterwards?
10373Spargo,he said, suddenly,"do you think you''ll get that order for the opening of the grave at Market Milcaster?"
10373Stamps?
10373Sudden? 10373 Sure he''s got nothing else on him that''s dangerous, Spargo?
10373Tell us,said Spargo, joining in for the first time,"tell us what you and Miss Baylis did?"
10373That he?
10373That,observed Rathbury with a quiet smile,"that is quite certain, ma''am?
10373The object?
10373The question is-- will it achieve its object?
10373The thing to find out is-- who is Aylmore, or who was he, twenty years ago?
10373The_ Watchman''s_ about the most powerful paper in London, is n''t it?
10373Then they did n''t believe what his counsel said-- that Chamberlayne got all the money?
10373Then why, in the sacred name of common sense did no one ever take steps to make certain?
10373Then will you tell us why Marbury went with you to the chambers in Fountain Court which you tenant under the name of Anderson?
10373Then you admit that the evidence you gave this morning, before these witnesses came on the scene, was not true?
10373Then you have not recently heard of what is known as the Marbury case-- a case of a man who was found murdered?
10373Then, in short,said Spargo,"you never heard of him again?"
10373Then-- to reiterate-- it was you who took Marbury into the Temple that night?
10373There ai n''t no danger of me being got into trouble along of that stick?
10373There!--what did I tell you?
10373This information, now?
10373To what?
10373True? 10373 Um-- does Elphick know all that?"
10373Very old men?
10373Very well-- have you made any further progress?
10373Was Rathbury in court?
10373Was he alone?
10373Was he married when he went out there?
10373Was n''t it there, Spargo, just there, that Marbury, or, rather, Maitland, was found?
10373Was n''t it there?
10373Was that quite true as regards yourself?
10373Was there no other way than this?
10373We settled yesterday, did n''t we, that you and I are to consider ourselves partners, as it were, in this job? 10373 Well, but had n''t the dead boy any relatives on his father''s side?"
10373Well, did he tell you that he was going to Australia?
10373Well, now, perhaps you''ll just tell me what you know of this man? 10373 Well, what about the lid, then?
10373Well,he said,"how''s things?"
10373Well-- what are you going to do now, Spargo? 10373 Well?"
10373Well?
10373Well?
10373Well?
10373Well?
10373Well?
10373Well?
10373Well?
10373Well?
10373Well?
10373Well?
10373Well?
10373Well?
10373Well?
10373Were you?
10373What are they doing, then?
10373What are you going to do about it?
10373What are you going to do, Mrs. Gutch, when you leave here?
10373What are you going to give me, young man?
10373What can I do for you, sir?
10373What can he do to help us?
10373What d''ye think of today''s doings, Spargo?
10373What did he come for?
10373What did he do with them-- afterwards?
10373What did they say when you accused them?
10373What did they say, you ask? 10373 What do you expect from-- from what we''ve just heard?"
10373What do you make of it?
10373What do you really think?
10373What do you say?
10373What does Aylmore say about it?
10373What does he know of the murder of Marbury and of you in connection with it?
10373What happened when he came in?
10373What have we come to do? 10373 What is it, Rawlins?"
10373What is it, Spargo?
10373What is it?
10373What is it?
10373What is it?
10373What is it?
10373What led to it?
10373What made you think some enquiry would be made, ma''am?
10373What next?
10373What next?
10373What notion?
10373What reasons were or are they which prevented you from telling all this at first?
10373What should we hear that was suspicious in the Temple, sir?
10373What then?
10373What then?
10373What then?
10373What time was that?
10373What time?
10373What was he like?
10373What was he?
10373What was his business address in London?
10373What was his occupation?
10373What was his private address?
10373What way?
10373What were the dealings that you had with him?
10373What were they doing?
10373What''s all this to me?
10373What''s clear as noontide?
10373What''s that?
10373What''s the object?
10373What''s this? 10373 What''s this?"
10373What''s your case-- when''s it down?
10373What, going to see an elderly gentleman in his rooms in the Temple, to offer to sell him philatelic rarities at-- past midnight?
10373What, precisely, have we found out?
10373What, then?
10373What,he asked meditatively,"what will you do about getting this man identified?"
10373What-- what''s all this?
10373What? 10373 What?"
10373What?
10373What?
10373What?
10373Where did he take the key from with which he unlocked the box?
10373Where did you get this?
10373Where did you leave him, sir?
10373Where did you transact your business with him?
10373Where does this Miss Baylis live?
10373Where is that?
10373Where was it found?
10373Where were you born?
10373Where''s Market Milcaster?
10373Where? 10373 Who are you, anyway?"
10373Who are you?
10373Who had, then?
10373Who is he?
10373Who is the man?
10373Who is this other witness?
10373Who on earth do you think the other man is?
10373Who was with him?
10373Who''s the man?
10373Who''s there?
10373Who, then?
10373Whose name and address?
10373Why did n''t they get an order for exhumation?
10373Why, Mr. Elphick, should you suppose that I should come to you at all?
10373Why, then, this running away? 10373 Why,"asked Breton, after a pause,"why did you never accuse Cardlestone, or Chamberlayne, of the murder?"
10373Why-- why-- you do n''t mean to say that Mr. Elphick has anything to do with this Marbury affair? 10373 Why?
10373Why? 10373 Why?"
10373Why?
10373Why?
10373Why?
10373Why?
10373Why?
10373Why?
10373Will you please come back to the office, sir, at once? 10373 Will you tell them to the court?"
10373Will you tell us what it was?
10373With what?
10373Yes, of course, but how, how, how is it going to be done?
10373Yes, that''s the way to get him, is n''t it?
10373Yes-- and how?
10373Yes-- what is it?
10373Yes?
10373You are--?
10373You can prove all this, I suppose?
10373You can-- certain? 10373 You do n''t know him by any other name?"
10373You do n''t know how long he''d been there when you were born?
10373You expect us to believe that?
10373You followed them eastward?
10373You have only just given this information to the police, I understand?
10373You have? 10373 You heard of the discovery of the body of a dead man in Middle Temple Lane next morning?"
10373You help me, and I help you, eh? 10373 You know what it is, then?"
10373You know what it is?
10373You left the hotel together, I believe?
10373You mean that?
10373You mean the-- murder?
10373You mean to find out who killed this man?
10373You never remember anything of your childhood-- I mean of any person who was particularly near you in your childhood?
10373You really do?
10373You recognize it?
10373You saw him?
10373You say he was murdered?
10373You see that?
10373You the landlord of this house, sir?
10373You think he was unduly influenced by him?
10373You think my father was worked upon by this man Chamberlayne, sir?
10373You think you could get something there?
10373You think-- people will say that?
10373You took it with you?
10373You walked after them? 10373 You want to find the somebody else?"
10373You will-- won''t you?
10373You wish to see Miss Baylis?
10373You''ll tell me something? 10373 You''re a newspaper man, sir?"
10373You''re absolutely sure?
10373You''re after that?
10373You''re sure of that?
10373You''ve heard about this murder in Middle Temple Lane?
10373You-- saw this poor fellow? 10373 You-- you have not told the-- the boy-- Ronald-- of what you know?
10373Your duties take you, I think, over to Paris occasionally?
10373Your father was in business there?
10373Your name is David Lyell?
10373Your other work?
10373Your people have n''t found anything out, then?
10373''Aye?''
10373''No matter,''he says,''I daresay there are lots of men in your line of trade-- perhaps you can recommend me to a good firm?''
10373''What''ll Maitland say when he comes for him?''
10373''What''s the use,''says I to her,''of your letting yourself get so fond of that child, and looking after it as you do, and educating it, and so on?''
10373''Why not?''
10373''You''re a dealer in stamps-- rare stamps?''
10373And I suppose, now that you know of it, you''ll be there?"
10373And Marbury himself, sir, now?
10373And do you happen to be able to tell me the old cove''s name and his address, Mollison?"
10373And how did you come to recognize Mr. Aylmore, Member of Parliament?"
10373And how much did he give you for it?"
10373And how was it put on you?"
10373And my secret is--""Well?"
10373And now-- what name do you know him by?"
10373And so this fellow lives over Mr. Cardlestone there, does he?
10373And that he came from-- Australia?"
10373And the old cove took a fancy to it, eh?"
10373And the question for him, Spargo, was-- what to do?
10373And then, all of a sudden, it flashed on me in a moment of-- what do you writing fellows call those moments, Spargo?"
10373And this other young gentleman?"
10373And this unfortunate man had Mr. Ronald Breton''s name and address in his pocket?"
10373And what have you to tell?"
10373And what might your name be, now, sir?
10373And when you come to think of it, why should they?
10373And when you had beaten the hearthrugs-- what then?"
10373And whether they are or not----""What are the probabilities?"
10373And who is he, I should like to know?
10373And why wo n''t Aylmore tell?
10373And you know nothing whatever of your father''s past beyond what you''ve told me?"
10373And you really think, sir, that John Maitland and John Marbury are one and the same person?"
10373And you took the stick to him?"
10373And you''ll give me a little matter of money, wo n''t you, young man?"
10373And, of course, I had him in my eye when I took the stick away-- see?"
10373Anderson?"
10373Anybody would recognize him from that-- perhaps you''d let our hall- porter and the waiter I mentioned just now look at it?"
10373Anything about this ticket, for instance?"
10373Anyway, his name and address are here, are n''t they?"
10373Are n''t you, now, Evelyn?"
10373Are you coming?"
10373Are you going?"
10373As things stand-- look here, does it strike you that your father is in a very serious position?"
10373Aye-- but who found him?
10373Besides-- don''t intending clients approach-- isn''t it strict etiquette for them to approach?--barristers through solicitors?"
10373Breton-- where''s the nearest telegraph office?
10373Breton?"
10373Breton?"
10373Breton?"
10373But I see, of course, that the truths which I have told you are of a sort that cause you considerable-- shall we say fear?"
10373But I think----""Well?"
10373But where else did he go?
10373But why off?
10373But you''ll give me a little matter to put in my pocket, young man?
10373But-- can we get a mouthful of bread and cheese and a glass of ale first?"
10373But-- has it ever struck you, Spargo, that somebody beside yourself may have been investigating?"
10373But-- how did Marbury get into the Temple, unobserved?
10373But-- if Marbury was murdered for the sake of what he had on him-- how did he meet with his murderer or murderers in there?
10373But-- what are you doing here, Spargo?"
10373But-- what is it?"
10373But-- where did Mr. Breton say you wished to be taken?"
10373But-- why?
10373By the by, how did you get to know the Aylmores?"
10373By the by, when did he die, Miss Baylis?"
10373Can you wait a bit?
10373Come to beg to be a member, Spargo?"
10373Could you recognize him-- I mean, a photograph of him?
10373Criedir?"
10373D''ye see?
10373Dead-- ain''t he?"
10373Did Marbury say he''d call on Cardlestone?"
10373Did Marbury tell you anything about the contents of the box?"
10373Did he never talk of old times, or that sort of thing?"
10373Did he take the boy?"
10373Did n''t you introduce me to his daughters-- only yesterday?"
10373Did you ever see him after he left prison?"
10373Did you ever supply any further copies of this photograph to anybody after the Maitland affair?--that is; after the family had left the town?"
10373Did you see anything of his money, now, ma''am?"
10373Did you see him?"
10373Did you then leave England soon after knowing Marbury?"
10373Did your chambermaid notice if he left any torn paper around-- tore any letters up, or anything like that?"
10373Do I understand that you never see Mr. Anderson except at night?"
10373Do you hear that?
10373Do you know anything about your parentage?"
10373Do you know where the''King of Madagascar''public- house is in this quarter of the town, young man?"
10373Do you remember the midnight of June 21st-22nd?"
10373Do you see?"
10373Do you wish any reply I may give you for publication?"
10373Do you?"
10373Eh?"
10373Eh?"
10373Eh?"
10373Eh?"
10373Eh?"
10373Gentlemen, I appeal to you if this is not the most extraordinary event that has happened in Market Milcaster for-- I do n''t know how many years?"
10373Going to join''em, I reckon, sir?"
10373Good Lord!--why did I never think of him?
10373Gutch?"
10373Gutch?"
10373Had n''t he got an address in the Temple?
10373Had you dealings with him?"
10373Has anything more been discovered, young man?"
10373Have you any idea how long we''ve been walking?"
10373Have you any relations in England?"
10373Have you never heard him speak of his boyhood?
10373Hawes?
10373He asks-- why?
10373He got interested in this Chamberlayne case, and he began to make enquiries with the idea of getting hold of some good-- what do you call it?"
10373He might have had-- nothing on him, eh?"
10373He was carrying a little box--""What sort of box?"
10373He''d-- but what''s the use of enumeration in this case?"
10373He--""What time-- exact time?"
10373Heavens, Breton, however are you going to find your way in this darkness?"
10373Help to write that piece in the paper, eh?"
10373Here you, Cardlestone, you Elphick-- didn''t you give me these cheques as your agent?
10373How close?"
10373How did he strike you?"
10373How do you get an authority from the Government to open a grave?"
10373How do you know it?"
10373How do you know they did n''t entrust me with these cheques as their agent?"
10373How else can you explain his presence in the Temple?
10373How long do you remain in town?"
10373How should I get it in this town if I''m a stranger?"
10373How was he going to set about this difficult task?
10373I say, do have some more tea- cake?
10373I see there is a shorthand writer here who is taking everything down-- ask him if that is not exactly what I said?"
10373I suppose you''ll be doing a special account yourself, for your paper, eh?
10373I thought-- now, where did Maitland, or Marbury, know or meet Aylmore twenty or twenty- two years ago?
10373I was figuring on my next step, and--""Do you see it?"
10373I''m sure you''ve heard all about what''s known as the Middle Temple Murder-- the Marbury case?"
10373If he made an appointment for eleven?
10373In Heaven''s name, why?"
10373Is it anything I can tell her?"
10373Is it not a fact that you know a great deal more about John Marbury than you have told this court?"
10373Is the tea all right?"
10373Is there the slightest clue that will fasten the guilt on anybody else?"
10373Is this the man?"
10373It was an acquaintanceship of some time ago?"
10373Just so-- and Mrs. Walters, I presume?"
10373Let''s see if there''s anything of the sort here?"
10373Look here, Breton,"he continued, aloud,"have you access to Aylmore?
10373Look here, are you going to start your writing just now?"
10373Lyell?"
10373Lyell?"
10373Mansion House, or Lombard Street, or St. Paul''s Churchyard, or the Old Bailey, or where?"
10373Mr. Lyell-- has anything recalled that face to you within this last day or two?"
10373Mr. Spargo, tell me!--what did you think about-- about what has just happened?"
10373Mr. Spargo-- what are you going to write about my father and today''s proceedings?"
10373Myerst?"
10373Nothing doing in this town, then?"
10373Now then, what will you bet on the chances of this chap''s information proving valuable?"
10373Now, Mr. Elphick, can I come to see you tomorrow morning?"
10373Now, first, you know all that about Maitland''s having papers and valuables and gold on him?
10373Now, guardian, what was this fellow after?"
10373Now, guardian,"he continued, when Spargo had carried out this order,"what was he after?
10373Now, having seen Mr. Aylmore and his companion, what did you do?"
10373Now, if you were on our house committee, Spargo, old man, would you go in for the wine- cooler or the ventilating fan?
10373Now, look here, between ourselves, how much do you know about your father''s-- past?"
10373Now, once across this stream, what shall we do?"
10373Now, the question is-- Do we go straight there, or do we put up for the night?
10373Now, then, may I ask you a question or two?"
10373Now, where did Aylmore know him?
10373Now, who is Mr. Stephen Aylmore-- beyond being what I know him to be?"
10373Now-- but wo n''t you take down what I''ve got to tell you?"
10373One of the sort that wears wigs and gowns-- ain''t I seen his picture in Jane Baylis''s room at the boarding- house where you saw her this morning?"
10373Perhaps you''ll have to save your father from the consequences of his own-- shall we say obstinacy?
10373Plain story you see, Spargo, when it all comes out, eh?"
10373Portrait of a baby, eh?"
10373Quarterpage?"
10373Rathbury?"
10373Really?"
10373See?"
10373Shall I suggest it?
10373She continued her questions:"And she told you that Maitland came and asked for the boy, and that she told him the boy was dead, did n''t she?"
10373Should he go and-- if he could gain admittance-- beard these two conspirators?
10373Should he hide again until she went, and then see Elphick alone?
10373Should he wait until the woman came out and let her see that he was on the track?
10373So it was you who took that queer- looking stick out of Mr. Aylmore''s rooms in Fountain Court, was it?"
10373So there?"
10373So this was in the dead man''s pocket?"
10373So-- you understand?"
10373Something?
10373Spargo-- may I trouble you to see what Mr. Myerst carries in his pockets?
10373Spargo?"
10373Spargo?"
10373Spargo?"
10373Spargo?"
10373Spargo?"
10373Spargo?"
10373Spargo?"
10373Spargo?"
10373Spargo?"
10373Straight down this valley?
10373That will do?"
10373That''s about it, is n''t it?"
10373The fact is-- I suppose you want this for your paper, eh?"
10373The third entry, eh?"
10373Then I suppose Maitland did not stop long with you?"
10373Then, I take it, you were very well known to each other twenty or twenty- two years ago?"
10373Then, looking at Breton significantly, he added,"If you can give me those few minutes, now--?"
10373There''s no room for any false bottom or anything of that sort, d''you see?"
10373Therefore, I ask again-- Where did you get that, young gentleman?"
10373Therefore, I can not make out how this young gentleman-- from London, did you say, sir?"
10373They already know that he knows more about Marbury than he''ll tell, that--""But does he?"
10373They were going eastward, then?"
10373Think you can stick it?"
10373To keep as a curiosity, I suppose?"
10373To whom did he speak?
10373Understand?"
10373Unexpected?
10373Want him?"
10373Was he a member of that institution?"
10373Was it-- blackmail?"
10373Was n''t he found lying dead at the foot of Cardlestone''s stairs?
10373Was n''t he in the Temple?
10373We want to solve the important question-- who is, who was John Marbury, and how did he come by his death?
10373Webster?"
10373Well, Mollison-- what about the stick?"
10373Well, that clears up a lot, does n''t it?"
10373Well, what then, Spargo?"
10373Well-- anything come of your jaunt westward?"
10373Well-- now how much is he mixed up?"
10373What are you going to do next, Spargo?"
10373What can it be?"
10373What did he do?
10373What do you propose to do, Spargo?"
10373What do you say, Jim?"
10373What hold has he on you?"
10373What is it, Spargo?"
10373What place, office, resort?"
10373What then?"
10373What was his name when you knew him at that time?"
10373What was your business before you left England?"
10373What were they running from?"
10373What were you doing last night, old man?"
10373What''ll be done with those papers?"
10373What''s he like, this man?"
10373What''s to be done?"
10373What''s yours?"
10373What, you''d try to bribe me?"
10373What?"
10373Whatever good can you do, Spargo, when he wo n''t speak about that knowledge of Marbury which he must have?"
10373When I''ve finished that, you''ll pay for another for me-- and perhaps another?
10373When Marbury left you, did he put those stamps in his box again, as before?"
10373When you got close to Waterloo Bridge, did you meet anybody you knew?"
10373Where did Mr. Anderson and this gentleman in the grey suit go when they''d passed through?"
10373Where did you carry on your business?"
10373Where did you know him?"
10373Where did you live in London at the time you are telling us of, when you knew John Marbury?"
10373Where in the City?
10373Where is it?"
10373Where on earth did you get this, Spargo?"
10373Where, then, in heaven''s name?"
10373Who was he?"
10373Who''d remember an ordinary man in a grey tweed suit?"
10373Who''s this, now?"
10373Whose grave?"
10373Why did you not make it before?"
10373Why do you ask now?"
10373Why had she to do that, young man?"
10373Why should I?"
10373Why should they remember him?
10373Why, Mr. Spargo, supposing that coffin is found empty-- what then?"
10373Why, then, the extraordinary interest which the Member of Parliament''s appearance aroused?
10373Why, what else could they say?"
10373Why?
10373Why?
10373Why?"
10373Why?"
10373Why?"
10373Will you buy''em, and how much will you give for''em?''"
10373Will you, can you, see him before he''s brought up at Bow Street tomorrow?"
10373Without doubt?"
10373Would you like to come?"
10373Yes?
10373You are going to write about this for your paper?"
10373You did n''t see his face?"
10373You do n''t recognize this handwriting, I suppose?"
10373You have n''t?"
10373You heard the evidence of David Lyell?"
10373You know what you told me to do yesterday as regards Aylmore?"
10373You know young Breton, the barrister?--you met him with me, you remember?"
10373You met Mr. Aylmore close to Waterloo Bridge?
10373You must go?..."
10373You remember I told you of the photograph found with the silver ticket?
10373You remember Maitland going to prison, of course?"
10373You remember them, of course, quite well?"
10373You say this man had your name and address on him, young Breton!--yours?
10373You want to save your prospective father- in- law, do n''t you?"
10373You wish to speak to me?"
10373You''d better-- what had she better do, Spargo?"
10373You-- you really think he was coming to me when he was struck down?"
10373Your sister?--Breton?"
10373he said, in accents that seemed to Spargo to tremble a little,"young gentleman, where did you get that?"
10373he said--"Marbury?
10373of being-- murderers?"
10373said Spargo, as he sprang out:"How is it?"
10373she says,''Why, what have you to tell, I should like to know?''
10373the second, how much shall I tell him?
26176A great friend?
26176A peculiar scent, is it not?
26176About Farrington?
26176About what?
26176After all, what is a little unpleasantness of that character? 26176 Ajar?"
26176An American millionaire-- Mr. Moole-- is he not?
26176And Farrington?
26176And Gorth?
26176And Poltavo?
26176And Poltavo?
26176And do you think that would make a difference?
26176And how did he look?
26176And my uncle?
26176And that is?
26176And the price?
26176And they were?
26176And what has he to say about it?
26176And what was intended?
26176And whatever happens you would never allow Doris to marry me?
26176And where will that be?
26176And you will answer-- truthfully?
26176Are you aware that I could raise my finger and tumble your precious plot into the dust?
26176Are you in charge?
26176Are you the editor of this paper?
26176Built a house, did he?
26176But what does Sir George want with me?
26176But what will they do?
26176But when?
26176But why not? 26176 But why should n''t Farrington disappear in an ordinary way-- or why need he disappear at all?"
26176But why?
26176But, suppose,--Poltavo''s hands caressed his little moustache, and he was smiling wickedly,--"suppose I force your hand?"
26176By the way,said T. B.,"his niece was staying with you a few nights ago, was she not?"
26176Can I speak with you privately?
26176Can you expect me to agree to this?
26176Can you offer any explanation?
26176Can you see me to- morrow?
26176Can you tell me anything more?
26176Chief in yet?
26176Did Farrington kill them?
26176Did you hear?
26176Do I understand that you have been inspecting the art treasures of the Secret House in some fear of your life?
26176Do all these doors open upon rooms similar to this?
26176Do you know this gentleman?
26176Do you realize that you might have made a fortune as a practical electrician?
26176Do you remember that locket which you found on one of the dead men in Brakely Square?
26176Do you see those words on the top? 26176 Do you think there is anything wrong at the Secret House?"
26176Dock case? 26176 Doris,"he asked quickly,"I meant to ask you-- where did you leave Lady Constance?"
26176Excuse me, sir,he said, touching his cap,"are you Mr. Frank Doughton?"
26176Farrington,said T. B., briefly,"he has been here; but how did he get out?"
26176For whom?
26176Great Bradley?
26176Has he got letters?
26176Have you discovered anything?
26176Have you got him?
26176Have you heard from Poltavo this morning?
26176Have you moved in the matter?
26176Have you thought?
26176He is n''t coming here to- night?
26176Here?
26176How can I disobey this?
26176How do I work this lift?
26176How is Doris?
26176How typically English, almost American, in his hustle; and when is the happy event to take place?
26176How?
26176I am afraid that everybody does not include me,she smiled,"but go on with your story; how did you find that he lived in Great Bradley?"
26176I hardly like to accuse a man,he said,"but Poltavo----""Poltavo?"
26176I have kept a draft of it; would you like to see it?
26176I have n''t seen her to- day-- she went down to Great Bradley last night-- didn''t she, auntie?
26176I have not the slightest idea where I am; perhaps you can tell me?
26176I have seen him-- I have seen everybody but----"But----?
26176I hope I am not going to be dragged into this case as a witness?
26176I read something about it,she smiled;"forty or fifty years old, were they not?"
26176I see,smiled the girl;"and have you succeeded where all these people have failed?"
26176I suppose I had better take this young man to the station?
26176I was the unknown friend,said"Mr. Brown";"do you understand the position?"
26176I wonder if I was in time?
26176If I am----?
26176If I thought he was going to play us false----"What would you do?
26176In love?
26176In money?
26176In what way was he kind?
26176In what way?
26176Insane?
26176Is Mr. Ela in his office?
26176Is he quite well?
26176Is it not so, my friend?
26176Is n''t that the locality which contains the Secret House?
26176Is she in town?
26176Is that fact established?
26176Is that your question?
26176Is there any other place where she could be?
26176Is there any person who is anxious that this marriage should not come about?
26176Is there any sign of police?
26176Is there any way I can get out of this?
26176Is there anybody else?
26176Is there no other way?
26176Is this a joke?
26176Is-- is she engaged to her young friend?
26176It seems pretty easy to take him, does it not?
26176It''s the Spanish prison trick,he said;"surely you are not deceived by that sort of stuff?"
26176Italian or Pole?
26176May I ask how your uncle came to know Gorth?
26176May I ask why?
26176May I inquire the meaning of this outrage?
26176May I see the letter?
26176May I suggest,said T. B. gently,"that you place me in possession of those facts?"
26176Mr. Farrington is, or was, a friend of yours?
26176My God,he screamed,"you are not going to kill me?"
26176Name?
26176No, is he here?
26176Not seriously, I hope?
26176Not your ward''s by any chance?
26176Now, what is this wonderful news?
26176Now,said T. B., seating himself at his desk,"what would you like to say?"
26176Or Montague Fallock?
26176Or tentatively?
26176Our friend?
26176Paper, sir?
26176Perhaps you will give me their address?
26176Pick me up?
26176Poltavo?
26176Shall I show you the strangest place of all?
26176She is not giving any trouble?
26176Sit down, Lady Constance,said T. B. gently;"collect yourself and try to remember-- have you seen Poltavo?"
26176Suppose he is not blessed with a wife?
26176Tell me then, is Dr. Fall your friend?
26176Tell me, what do you want?
26176Tell me,asked Poltavo,"on what terms is Dr. Fall with your uncle?
26176Tell me,said Ela, laconically, then,"What is your trouble?"
26176That I understand,said T. B.;"it is, as you say, an ingenious idea-- what of Fall?"
26176That he might have told me who this missing person was, and that he himself knew; and for some reason suppressed the fact?
26176That is true?
26176That is your last word?
26176That remains to be discovered,replied T. B.;"my own impression is that you----""Do you think I was being taken to the Secret House?"
26176The Secret House?
26176The open door below-- the visitor?
26176The third man?
26176The two men you found in the square did n''t help you?
26176The will was rather a surprise to you?
26176Then what else do you want to know?
26176Then what----"Why are you so absolutely sure that he_ is_ dead?
26176Then why do you?
26176To what am I indebted for the honour of this visit?
26176To where are you taking me?
26176Unpleasant, is it not?
26176Well, what do you think of it?
26176Well?
26176Well?
26176What am I to do?
26176What are you doing?
26176What are you going to do with me?
26176What are you going to do?
26176What are you going to do?
26176What brings you to breakfast, Constance?
26176What can you see in that man, Doris?
26176What could there be wrong,she asked,"that has not been wrong for the last ten or twenty years?"
26176What did you find?
26176What do you make of it?
26176What do you mean?
26176What do you mean?
26176What do you mean?
26176What do you mean?
26176What do you suggest?
26176What do you think?
26176What do you want?
26176What does he matter?
26176What does this mean, signor?
26176What does this mean?
26176What does this mean?
26176What evidence have we? 26176 What is he doing here?"
26176What is it?
26176What is that?
26176What is that?
26176What is the news?
26176What is the trouble?
26176What is the use?
26176What is this foolery?
26176What is your name?
26176What of Lady Constance Dex?
26176What was his car doing here the other day,asked Fall,"when he kidnapped Frank Doughton?
26176What was that?
26176What were they bringing me here for?
26176What were they talking about?
26176What''s up?
26176What?
26176What?
26176When did you come to this country?
26176Where do you live?
26176Where is Lady Constance?
26176Where is Montague Fallock now?
26176Where now?
26176Where will you start?
26176Which Mr. Smith are you referring to?
26176Which phenomenon?
26176Who was he?
26176Why did she come?
26176Why did you leave that instruction in your will? 26176 Why do n''t you go round to Brakely Square?"
26176Why do they come on so prosaic an errand?
26176Why for me?
26176Why have you come down here,he asked, harshly,"leading half the detectives in London to me?"
26176Why impossible?
26176Why is that?
26176Why should Farrington be in such a frantic hurry to marry the girl off, and why should he have chosen this penniless reporter?
26176Why should he?
26176Why?
26176Why?
26176Why?
26176Why?
26176Why?
26176Why?
26176Will he betray us?
26176Will they be returned?
26176Will you agree to do as I ask?
26176Will you be my good friend and tell me why?
26176Will you come in?
26176Will you kindly explain what you are doing here?
26176Will you kindly produce Count Poltavo?
26176Without a warrant?
26176Wo n''t you come in?
26176Wo n''t you sit down?
26176Yes-- why?
26176Yes?
26176Yes?
26176You also?
26176You are not going to electrocute me?
26176You are sure of this?
26176You do n''t mean that?
26176You do not mean that?
26176You have a letter for me?
26176You have a pistol?
26176You have heard something-- later?
26176You have made up your mind about Doris?
26176You have seen the ladies? 26176 You heard no sound whilst you lay there?"
26176You mean----?
26176You refer to Lady Constance Dex?
26176You remember Mr. Farrington gave me a commission to find the missing heir of Tollington?
26176You were a friend of Mr. Farrington''s, were you not?
26176You''d better bed down somewhere, David, and you, Ela?
26176Am I to give her up, this gracious, beautiful girl-- with her future, or without her fortune?"
26176And if he did not agree, what sum would he be prepared to pay as the price of the blackmailer''s silence?
26176Are you willing to continue?"
26176But in what respect was she right?"
26176But why should Mr. Farrington kill himself?"
26176By the way, is n''t Great Bradley, about which you were speaking, the home of a romance?"
26176By the way, that is to- morrow, is it not?"
26176By the way, what is your name?"
26176Debenham?"
26176Debenham?"
26176Did he not shoot his father-- or his alleged father, some years ago?
26176Do n''t you know that feeling?
26176Do n''t you see the whole thing fits together?
26176Do n''t you, Frank?"
26176Do you know a paper called_ Gossip''s Corner_?"
26176Do you know the contents of the letter?"
26176Do you object to my searching your house?"
26176Does it sound probable?
26176Doughton?"
26176Farrington?"
26176First of all, my duties?"
26176For when did Gregory ever tell the truth concerning his movements?
26176Frank,"--she bent forward and tapped the young man upon the shoulder with her fan,--"will you come over here and tell me what your editor means?"
26176Frankly,"the young man shrugged his shoulders,"I am a penniless adventurer-- can I be more frank than that?
26176Gorth?"
26176Gorth?"
26176Have I your permission also?"
26176How can I help him by marrying Frank Doughton?
26176How can I hope to succeed?"
26176How can I save him-- can you tell me?"
26176How does Miss Gray bear it?
26176How many men have we available?"
26176I can speak to you, can I not, Count Poltavo?"
26176I offer you your life on condition that you do this, otherwise----""Otherwise?"
26176I presume you are on Gregory''s''business''?"
26176I suppose if he does not produce that mysterious individual by to- morrow there will be no reward for him?"
26176I suppose they want you to advance their fare?"
26176In this house are buried millions of lira-- doesn''t that fire your imagination, dear colleague?"
26176Is it money-- her fortune?"
26176Is it not madness?
26176Is it not true?"
26176Is it true-- what you said to- day-- that you know something of applied mechanics?"
26176It is suicide?"
26176It was an inauspicious beginning to a married life which would end who knew how?
26176Lady Dinsmore,"he appealed to the elder woman,"do you like him?"
26176May I see the letter?"
26176May I test you with a question?"
26176Moole?"
26176Moole?"
26176Moole?"
26176On terms of equality?"
26176Perhaps you can enlighten me, Poltavo?"
26176Really, for a millionaire, Mr. Farrington, you are singularly-- shall I say--''furtive''?"
26176She is not a detective, too, I suppose?"
26176She is well?"
26176Smith?"
26176Smith?"
26176Smith?"
26176That Doris was to marry this infernal Doughton?"
26176The old farm labourer was a good idea, but where could they meet?
26176Then suddenly he asked:"Who was the third man?"
26176Then suddenly:"You knew him?"
26176These men must be associates of Montague-- Montague Fallock, who else?
26176Was it of Farrington the man was talking such drivel?
26176Was she mad also?
26176What are you going to do?"
26176What excuse could he offer?
26176What is the trouble?"
26176What mystery was this?
26176What was the object of it all?
26176What were the contents of that brief note which had affected her so powerfully?
26176What were their plans with him?
26176What were your thieves after-- bullion?"
26176What would they do?
26176What''s that?"
26176Where is the other man?"
26176Where, for instance, is Lady Constance Dex?"
26176Who cares about the publication of a few letters?"
26176Who else could have committed the crime but he?"
26176Why had T. B. left him?
26176Why not Great Bradley, he thought, after a while?
26176Why should she secrete it with such care unless it conveyed a lover''s assurance?
26176Will you stay here or will you come with us?"
26176Would Ambury agree to the exorbitant sum he had demanded?
26176Would you like a cigarette?"
26176You comprehend?"
26176You have heard all?"
26176You see how he has forgotten to put the''e''in''save''?
26176You spoke of the lower rooms-- do you know the way there?"
26176You will brush past him, and in doing so you will drop this envelope into his pocket-- you understand?"
26176asked T. B. calmly;"what do you gain by arresting him?
26176asked the astonished Frank--"by whom?"
26176demanded Poltavo loudly;"why impossible?"
26176he said, eagerly,"is there any news?"
26176jerked the stout man,"you do n''t think Montague Fallock was in the house to- night?"
26176she gasped,"on what charge?"
26176she said, in surprise;"why, is n''t that where Lady Constance Dex lives?"
2038''And the work?'' 2038 ''And the work?''
2038''And what are they worth?'' 2038 ''Have you never heard of the League of the Red- headed Men?''
2038''Is it not dull for the lady here at this time of the year?'' 2038 ''What do you call purely nominal?''
2038''What do you think of it?'' 2038 ''What then?''
2038''What would be the hours?'' 2038 ''What, the red- headed man?''
2038''Where could I find him?'' 2038 ''Who is the woman with the white hair?''
2038''Why that?'' 2038 ''Why, what is it, then?''
2038''Your master is out, then?'' 2038 A Pickford''s van?
2038A dollar, you thief?
2038A how much?
2038A pipe?
2038A subject in connection with the box? 2038 Absolutely?"
2038Ah, well, it''s disappointing, is n''t it? 2038 Ah, you?
2038An Englishman?
2038An omission?
2038And Irene Adler?
2038And believe him?
2038And for present expenses?
2038And has your business been attended to in your absence?
2038And have you any on hand just now?
2038And how could you tell that they would make their attempt to- night?
2038And how did you find out?
2038And how did you verify them?
2038And how is that, little man?
2038And is n''t it better to die a natural death?
2038And mademoiselle''s address?
2038And now?
2038And sit in the dark?
2038And so, Miss Huddlestone,he continued slowly, but savagely,"this is how you keep your faith to your father and to me?
2038And so,he continued,"I am to understand that you two are married?
2038And suppose, instead of giving you what is in this canvas bag, I take you by the throat and choke the life right out of you?
2038And the bargain? 2038 And the papers?"
2038And the ring?
2038And was there anything in the box? 2038 And what did you do then?"
2038And what did you see?
2038And what do you want?
2038And what else?
2038And what of Irene Adler?
2038And what of Sully? 2038 And what then?"
2038And when will you call?
2038And why in hopes?
2038And why is he afraid to go to bed?
2038And why?
2038And why?
2038And with Rigobert in the room to protect you?
2038And you do n''t know his address?
2038And you wanted somebody to sit up with you?
2038And your father? 2038 And your mother is alive?"
2038And-- you may permit me one question-- does this danger come from Northmour?
2038Anybody ill?
2038Anybody staying in the house?
2038Are they going to butcher the lot of us, or only Huddlestone? 2038 Are you armed?"
2038Are you the scoundrel who sent me that infamous letter?
2038As has been intimated in that infamous letter, his grace is at perfect liberty to give me into custody-- why not? 2038 As you say, what are five hundred pounds to you?
2038At what time?
2038Bob, what would you say to a glassful of brandy-- the real thing-- my boy?
2038Bob-- why Bob?
2038But does her saintship do you any good?
2038But have you no tests you can apply?
2038But how about Mr. Hosmer Angel? 2038 But how could you guess what the motive was?"
2038But how do you know,said one of us,"that the man was her lover?
2038But how will you look?
2038But how?
2038But now in this matter what would you have me do?
2038But to whom?
2038But what in the world is this gibberish about Egyptian gods?
2038But what is it you wish?
2038But why not? 2038 But you do n''t really think that there is anything in it?"
2038But you do n''t think that there is something alive inside the box? 2038 But you have hopes?"
2038But you have no notion as to what it could have been?
2038But you''ve written a book about them, and know them when you see them, do n''t you? 2038 By the way,_ khansamah_,"I said,"what were those three doolies doing in my compound in the night?"
2038Carwitchet? 2038 Could you see what he was like?"
2038Cut off my hair?
2038Did I not tell you how quick and resolute she was? 2038 Did anything happen?"
2038Did she tell you the name of the family?
2038Did she wish your kisses while she was still sensible of what you wanted? 2038 Did the brute tell you that he meant to cut off your little finger?"
2038Did you have another fall?
2038Did you hear what sort of wine he grew? 2038 Did you notice how she was dressed, Francis?"
2038Did you notice the knife?
2038Did you see anything of your wife when the clock struck two?
2038Did you see what your wife cut your bread with?
2038Did you think I would tell him after what you said?
2038Do n''t I look as though I were up?
2038Do n''t you know?
2038Do n''t you think we''d better ask our friend in blue to walk behind us? 2038 Do what again?"
2038Do you happen to know,he said,"that this year is Leap Year?"
2038Do you hear him?
2038Do you hear? 2038 Do you hear?"
2038Do you know,she asked,"to whom you are speaking?"
2038Do you mean that she has left England?
2038Do you mean that she will kill you?
2038Do you mean, what will I give you for it cash down upon the nail?
2038Do you not find,he said,"that with your short sight it is a little trying to do so much typewriting?"
2038Do you propose, then, that I should stand here shivering in my shirt while you are prosing at your ease? 2038 Do you remember anything about the Sahibs?"
2038Do you suppose that I could have been otherwise than seriously hurt?
2038Do you think Cassilis would sell you?
2038Do you think Francis Raven knows that this year is Leap Year?
2038Do you think I have no blood in my veins?
2038Do you think I would steal a march, even with your permission?
2038Do you think so?
2038Do you think you''re sufficiently recovered to enable you to understand a little simple explanation?
2038Does n''t_ this_ satisfy you that you were wrong?
2038Does your mother want to insult me?.
2038Draper''s Buildings?
2038Francis,she said,"does that woman''s face remind you of nothing?".
2038Francis--_what_?
2038Germany?
2038Has Lady Carwitchet shown you her sapphire?
2038Has nothing happened since I was here last?
2038Has the duchess returned?
2038Has the mechanism again hung fire? 2038 Has this place always been a dâk- bungalow?"
2038Haunted?
2038Have n''t I kissed_ you_?
2038Have n''t you seen him? 2038 Have you anything to tell me?"
2038Have you been trying another smoke?
2038Have you ever observed that his ears are pierced for earrings?
2038Have you forgotten it already? 2038 Have you the chisel and the bags?
2038Have you-- have you solved it fairly, Tress?
2038He is still with you, I presume?
2038He is still with you?
2038Her grace did get into the carriage; you shut the door, did n''t you?
2038Hereward, did-- did the accident affect you mentally?
2038Hereward, have you been having a jest at my expense? 2038 Hereward, was it a Pickford''s van?"
2038Hereward, were you seriously hurt?
2038Ho, Simon,I would say, encouraging the poor man as he came bowing and trembling before me,"how goes it, my friend?"
2038How are you going about it? 2038 How came_ you_ here?"
2038How can it be tried?
2038How could it not have affected me mentally? 2038 How did he come?"
2038How did that help you?
2038How did you know, for example, that I did manual labor? 2038 How do we know that?
2038How do you come to be wandering about at this time in the morning?
2038How do you do, Master Andrew? 2038 How do you mean that it was underneath the pipe?"
2038How has he passed the night?
2038How long will she stay here?
2038How many? 2038 How often?"
2038How should I know?
2038I am smoking it, ai n''t I?
2038I am to be neutral?
2038I beg your pardon-- family interests? 2038 I do n''t quite catch you-- was what a Pickford''s van?"
2038I sent for you-- I?
2038I shall have half?
2038I suppose I must n''t tell why I came to give quite a big sum in francs for this?
2038I suppose that also is a hoax?
2038I suppose that you will say next that this is not a lock of your hair?
2038I suppose,said Holmes,"that when Mr. Windibank came back from France, he was very annoyed at your having gone to the ball?"
2038I think this typewritten letter is from you, in which you made an appointment with me for six o''clock?
2038I wonder if there is anything fragile inside your precious puzzle, Pugh, and, if so, if we are shivering it by degrees?
2038I-- I hope, Tress, that you''re-- you''re going to play no tricks on me?
2038If it''s only bogus, why are you always in such a flutter about it? 2038 In a hansom cab?
2038In my line? 2038 In what part of Germany?"
2038Is Francis awake or asleep?
2038Is an answer required?
2038Is he still of the same mind?
2038Is it far to Underbridge?
2038Is it in the pavilion?
2038Is it poisoned, sir?
2038Is it possible that you can imagine that, under any conceivable circumstances, I could have written such a letter as this?
2038Is it true that you have money with you?
2038Is n''t the box even going to open?
2038Is that all?
2038Is that final?
2038Is the poor gentleman much hurt?
2038Is there anyone that you hate?
2038Is there anyone that you love?
2038Is there anything you would like?
2038Is this gentleman your grace''s friend? 2038 Is your collection valuable?
2038It is a little off the beaten track, is n''t it?
2038It is n''t the first time I''ve seen your tricks, sir-- is it now? 2038 It is; and I wish it were in the bottom of the sea instead,"said Northmour; and then suddenly--"What are you making faces at me for?"
2038It missed him, then?
2038It''s-- it''s-- Tress!--is it a diamond?
2038Ivor, do you want me to kick you? 2038 Just as I came in, did I hear my wife say there was nothing for you to do in this place?"
2038Just so-- how are you to know?
2038Just so-- what will you give me for it cash down upon the nail?
2038Kidnaped?
2038Kitchen boiler burst? 2038 Let her die also, where''s the harm?
2038Mabel, tell me-- what did you do when you had looked for me in vain?
2038Mabel, where did you get this?
2038May I ask you not to betray me? 2038 Mr. Dacre, has the accident affected Hereward''s brain?"
2038Mr. Dacre, tell me, was it a Pickford''s van?
2038Mr. Sherlock Holmes, I believe?
2038My dear Pugh, how do you know that there was something in the box to give you?
2038My dear child, what bee have you got in your bonnet? 2038 My dear fellow, is it possible you do not see how strongly it bears upon the case?"
2038My dear,I said, forgetting for the first time to add"young lady,""what do I care?
2038Near the Stock Exchange?
2038No legal papers or certificates?
2038No sign of it?
2038No?
2038Nor running a chance of arrest?
2038Northmour,I cried,"if you will neither help her yourself, nor let me do so, do you know that I shall have to kill you?"
2038Not from Northmour?
2038Not from you?
2038Not to Mr. Northmour''s wife?
2038Now, I wonder who the deuce that could have been?
2038Now,said he,"since she is better, you can spare me, can you not?
2038Of what?
2038Oh, why not the ruby?
2038Oh, you have got the toothache, have you? 2038 On his birthday?"
2038On that account, I presume, you resolved to pass the treasure on to me?
2038On the floor?
2038On yourself? 2038 Pay?"
2038Peril from whom? 2038 See here, Northmour,"said I;"we are all in a tight place, are we not?"
2038See what?
2038She has? 2038 She was n''t where?"
2038Simon,I said gravely, when the time was up,"have you a joke?
2038So you say this is rubbish?
2038So you''re not quite dead?
2038Speaking of that,said I,"what kind of person is he?"
2038Surely you can not have written me such a letter as that, and then have forgotten it already?
2038Surely your object, like ours, can be but the Spreading About of the Truth?
2038Ten shillings, you brazen vagabond?
2038The fowl in the pot? 2038 Then how do you know?"
2038Then how many are there?
2038Then how? 2038 Then what has happened to him?"
2038Then you are a Parisian?
2038Then you do n''t think I''ll see him again?
2038Then, as to money?
2038This is a very unexpected turn of affairs,said I;"and what then?"
2038Tired out, eh? 2038 To an end?"
2038Tress, what-- what was in the box?
2038Up all night? 2038 Wait until you came?"
2038Was either of the doors open?
2038Was he the only applicant?
2038Was it a man?
2038Was she alone?
2038Was she living with relations or friends?
2038Was the photograph a cabinet?
2038Was what a Pickford''s van?
2038Watson, I think you know Mr. Jones, of Scotland Yard? 2038 Well, Huddlestone, what do you say to that?"
2038Well, Watson,said Holmes, when our visitor had left us,"what do you make of it all?"
2038Well, and what happened when Mr. Windibank, your stepfather, returned to France?
2038Well, boys and girls,said Northmour,"how about a sally?
2038Well, but China?
2038Well, have you solved it?
2038Well, the snuff, then, and the Freemasonry?
2038Well, would you please, sir, march upstairs where we can get a cab to carry your highness to the police station?
2038Well,I continued,"it is their money they are after, is it not?
2038Well,repeated he,"what more do you want to know?
2038Well? 2038 Well?"
2038Well?
2038Well?
2038Were you engaged to the gentleman at this time?
2038What Carwitchet? 2038 What are five hundred pounds to me?
2038What are they after, these Italians? 2038 What are you doing there?"
2038What are you going to do, then?
2038What can_ you_ have to say to me?
2038What carriage did you have?
2038What could I? 2038 What diabolic jugglery was at work when the exchange was made?"
2038What did I tell you? 2038 What did you do?"
2038What do you imagine that it means?
2038What do you make of that?
2038What do you mean?
2038What do you mean?
2038What do you mean?
2038What do you think of that?
2038What do you think, Watson? 2038 What does that letter mean?
2038What does this mean?
2038What does this mean?
2038What have you done, though?
2038What have you done?
2038What have you two been doing? 2038 What is he like, this Vincent Spaulding?"
2038What is his name?
2038What is it you are keeping from me? 2038 What is it you have there?"
2038What is it?
2038What is it?
2038What is it?
2038What is the day of the month, dear?
2038What is the matter?
2038What is the meaning of all this here? 2038 What is the name of this obliging youth?"
2038What lock of hair?
2038What on earth do you mean?
2038What on earth does this mean?
2038What then?
2038What then?
2038What time was it, Francis, when you saw the Woman in your Dream?
2038What was it, then?
2038What was the woman''s name?
2038What will you give me for it?
2038What''s it mean about a present? 2038 What''s that for?"
2038What''s the matter? 2038 What''s this?"
2038What, then,I cried, frowning,"of the stuff Master la Rivière is to give you to take the king''s life to- morrow night?
2038What-- not a poisoned pipe?
2038What?
2038What_ is_ that noise?
2038Whatever for?
2038Whatever is it you have there?
2038Whatever-- whatever''s this?
2038When is it to be done?
2038Where am I?
2038Where are you off to?
2038Where are you staying? 2038 Where did he live, then?"
2038Where did he take you to?
2038Where did you address your letters, then?
2038Where does he come from? 2038 Where is Lord Carwitchet?"
2038Where is she?
2038Where is the nearest inn? 2038 Where''s my husband?"
2038Where''s my wife?
2038Where''s the puzzle?
2038Where, indeed?
2038Where, then?
2038Where,he said to the man,"do you keep the King and Sully and Epernon, my friend?"
2038Which are?
2038While you propose that I should run away?
2038While you slept? 2038 Who are you?"
2038Who are you?
2038Who brought it? 2038 Who brought it?"
2038Who brought this?
2038Who is he?
2038Who is that in the next room?
2038Who is the gentleman you expect to have the pleasure of meeting there?
2038Who is this?
2038Who stole my Sir Walter Raleigh pipe? 2038 Who was he, then, and what was his object in deserting Miss Sutherland?"
2038Who was with her?
2038Who will believe me?
2038Why ca n''t you tell me now?
2038Why did n''t you stop her?
2038Why did you beat the pavement?
2038Why did you come away to consult me in such a hurry?
2038Why did you open the door?
2038Why did you pick him?
2038Why not?
2038Why serious?
2038Why should you stay?
2038Why, are n''t you overjoyed? 2038 Why, indeed?
2038Why, indeed?
2038Why? 2038 Will you gi''oi a drap of zyder?"
2038Will you show us the way, my man?
2038Will you swear it''s not in that wardrobe? 2038 With what result?"
2038Would you like to see the original? 2038 Would you like to take her to Graden House?"
2038Wrote what letter?
2038Ye baith refer it to my puir judgment?
2038You are sure she has not sent it yet?
2038You are thinking of the Valdez sapphire, are you not? 2038 You do n''t mind breaking the law?"
2038You do not grudge me the privilege?
2038You had my note?
2038You have dared to play with me?
2038You have made up your mind to it, I hear?
2038You have really got it?
2038You have the photograph?
2038You know a lot about precious stones, do n''t you?
2038You know him?
2038You know him?
2038You meant to kill me?
2038You remember the planks in the garden? 2038 You think I will give my yacht for nothing?
2038You will have what framed?
2038You''ve heard about me, Mr. Holmes,she cried,"else how could you know all that?"
2038Your French gold?
2038Your father?
2038Your own little income,he asked,"does it come out of the business?"
2038Your what?
2038_ Siete Italiano_?
2038''And the pay?''
2038( Was not this strange?
2038A dream?
2038A great fear crept into my half- frozen brain-- were we not bringing deadly danger instead of help to these travelers?
2038A moment later, a murmur from the duke:"I do n''t know if you''re aware that the prince is coming to dinner?"
2038All at once he gave it utterance, in a tone of voice which was extremely somber:"Ivor, do you think that scoundrel will dare to play me false?"
2038Am I a man to trust?
2038Am I kind?"
2038Am I safe and scrupulous?
2038Among the honest women in my own station in life, where could I have found the like of_ her_?
2038And he gives me a good character?"
2038And how?
2038And there stood, looking at me-- The Dream Woman again?
2038And what does she propose to do with the photograph?"
2038And what is going to happen when it is good enough to cease?
2038And what''s the slimy- looking varmint that looks as though it would like to have my life?
2038And what, may I ask, do you propose to do?"
2038And when you had looked in vain, what was the next item in your programme?"
2038And where is this example of your splendid benevolence?
2038And why could he not write?
2038And yet what could have happened?
2038And you stand up to it before my face, Miss Huddlestone?"
2038And your address?"
2038And, above all, how had he come to have a dagger ready in his hand?
2038And, above all, why was the house thus stealthily prepared at dead of night?
2038And-- what are these?"
2038Andrew, my friend, have you a joke?
2038Anonymous_ The Lost Duchess_ I"Has the duchess returned?"
2038Anything going on in the town?"
2038Are we on the eve of a discovery at last?
2038Are you a married man, Mr. Wilson?
2038Are you armed?"
2038Are you coming with me?
2038Are you sure?
2038As I said before, why not?
2038As a necessary consequence-- what will he do?
2038As he said, what interest could anyone have in bringing me to the door of the church, and then leaving me?
2038At last he asked:"What is it that your grace proposes to do?"
2038At the inn?"
2038Behold them?"
2038Besides, in another year who knows but my troubles may all be at an end?
2038Besides, it is a useless expense, for how could you possibly find this Hosmer Angel?"
2038But I mean how am I to know, now that he has his money, that he will still not keep Mabel in his clutches?"
2038But how will Mr. Huddlestone take my intrusion?"
2038But how--""Was there a secret marriage?"
2038But may I now ask what you did when you arrived at Draper''s Buildings?"
2038But one of the Bachelor Majors said very politely:"I presume that your marriage certificate would be more to the purpose?"
2038But the note itself-- what do you deduce from it?"
2038But the writing?"
2038But this time I was set on going, and I would go, for what right had he to prevent?
2038But what about the screeching?
2038But what should bring thieves at Graden Easter?
2038But why?
2038But, after all, if he is satisfied, why should I put ideas in his head?"
2038By the way, Marshfield, you can sit tight to a horse, I trust?
2038Ca n''t you tell jest from earnest, health from disease?
2038Can you have been so cruel?"
2038Can you remember any other little things about Mr. Hosmer Angel?"
2038Could I lure him into the library-- the billiard room-- the conservatory?
2038Could I, even for an instant, have been dazzled by a sham, and a sham of that quality?
2038Could that savage in the sheepskin be my courteous entertainer?
2038Could there be some living creature concealed within the box?
2038Could your patients spare you for a few hours?"
2038Could_ they_ walk as she walked?
2038Dacre?"
2038Dale?"
2038Did I know that Sahib?
2038Did Monsieur not know?
2038Did he ever fall in love with a murderess?
2038Did he make no attempt to see you?"
2038Did she really stab him or not?
2038Did they take you for him, or fire at you for your own_ beaux yeux_?"
2038Did you ever hear Moody and Sankey?"
2038Did you tell him?"
2038Did you think we were going to die with all the airs and graces of society?
2038Do I understand you to ask a pound for taking a pull at your master''s pipe?"
2038Do n''t you notice a sort of reverberation within?"
2038Do n''t you remember their stand at the first Paris Exhibition?
2038Do n''t you see that to me it''s a question of life and death?
2038Do n''t you think that it''s a diamond?"
2038Do you know that I am told in this letter that the woman who entered the carriage was not the duchess?
2038Do you know what fear is?
2038Do you know,"he continued softly,"I think we are the two most miserable men in England, you and I?
2038Do you mean to say that you can actually send this absurd Sending you talk about?"
2038Do you note the peculiar construction of the sentence--''This account of you we have from all quarters received''?
2038Do you often take a nap in the daytime?"
2038Do you really care whether I live or die?"
2038Do you think I could hurt you?
2038Do you think that my mental organization is of steel?"
2038Do you want to put''em in my stables?"
2038Do you wonder if I was happy at this time?
2038Does Germany remind you of anything?"
2038Does it seem reasonable that we should find a diamond, which, if it is a diamond, is the finest stone I ever saw and handled, in a ninepenny puzzle?
2038Does she ever wear the sapphires?
2038For my part I have not much faith in deathwatches,_ et hoc genus omne_, but it certainly is a curious tapping; I wonder what is going to happen next?"
2038For why was the pavilion secretly prepared?
2038From Northmour?"
2038From whom?
2038Geneviève?"
2038Guests all right?
2038Had I escaped, the mortal peril which the dream foretold?
2038Had anything happened already?
2038Had he not recognized my voice?
2038Had it remained unopened all that time?
2038Had sacrilegious hands already been playing pranks with that great lady''s hair?
2038Had_ they_ her skin, her laugh, her foot, her hand, her touch?
2038Has anyone ever seen her in them?
2038Has she discovered no more than that?
2038Have I been ill?"
2038Have we gone to the root of the matter, in our simple way?''
2038Have you a family?''
2038Have you a small hammer?"
2038Have you candles on the chimney- piece?
2038Have you found out why Francis Raven was up all night?"
2038Have you pocketed it, regretting your lapse into the unaccustomed paths of generosity?
2038He addressed the stranger:"Do you want me, sir?"
2038He looked at her with a peculiar approval and admiration; then, turning to me,"Do you think I would give her up without a struggle, Frank?"
2038He put to him this question:"Ivor, what are you laughing at?"
2038He said that he thought it was a Pickford''s van-- was it a Pickford''s van?"
2038Her grace echoed the words:"The decoy?"
2038Here I said:"But what induced Suddhoo to drag me into the business?
2038Here?"
2038Holmes?"
2038Hosmer-- Mr. Angel-- was a cashier in an office in Leadenhall Street-- and--""What office?"
2038How about the bargain?
2038How about the hotel robberies last summer at Cowes, eh?
2038How can we tell that no minute interstices have been left for the express purpose of ventilation?"
2038How could I disobey her?
2038How did your mother take the matter?"
2038How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?"
2038How do you know that?"
2038How in the world is she to find you in France?"
2038How is it that I missed you?
2038How much did you give for that puzzle, Pugh?"
2038How shall I come out of it?
2038How should I know him?
2038How so?
2038How, therefore, can the kitten on the bed and the kitten on the hearthrug be real kittens?"
2038How?"
2038Huddlestone?"
2038I ask again, Who is to blame?
2038I ask eagerly what it means?
2038I ask you, will you swear it was?"
2038I assure you I fully expect that you will do so-- why not?"
2038I attempt the king''s life?
2038I hope that I have made myself clear?"
2038I hope that you have done what I asked you, Jones?"
2038I look-- and what do I see?
2038I made myself a deprecating smile as I took it from him, but how dare I call it false to its face?
2038II"Feeling better now?"
2038II"What_ is_ that noise?"
2038If I were in hiding twenty times over, would it make one thought of change in you?"
2038If he disbelieved his mother, how long would she be able to keep it from his clutches?
2038If not, why should you come to consult me?"
2038If there had been something in the box, would you have been willing to go halves with me in my discovery?"
2038If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?"
2038In the first place, how can you make sure that it is a diamond?"
2038Is he dreaming still?
2038Is he married or single?
2038Is he not brother to the smith at Aubergenville who has just shod my horse?"
2038Is he to die then?"
2038Is it a criminal offense to be accessible to the amiable weakness of love?
2038Is it likely that I am going to play tricks upon my oldest friend?"
2038Is it living, or is it dead?"
2038Is it my fault that I am a handsome man-- universally agreeable as such to the fair sex?
2038Is it not a pity that she was not on my level?"
2038Is it possible that we, uncivilized, are truer realists than our hypercultured Western neighbors?
2038Is it to be sold?"
2038Is n''t it pretty?"
2038Is n''t that near the Stock Exchange?"
2038Is n''t that so, Pugh?"
2038Is that it?"
2038Is there a more miserable object on the face of creation than a lame horse?
2038Is there anything so very wonderful in that?
2038Is this the same man whom we heard talking in his sleep?--the same man who woke with that cry of terror and that horrid suspicion in his eyes?
2038It_ sounded_ hollow; probably nothing at all-- who could tell?
2038Lady Landor on one side of Tom, on the other who?
2038Look at the bed-- where''s the cut of a knife in it?
2038Look at the door( which I heard you fasten yourself)--is it broke in?
2038Look at the window-- is the lock bursted?
2038Mabel, were you in Draper''s Buildings when you wrote that letter?"
2038Marshfield?''
2038May I ask how this pipe came into your possession?"
2038May I ask you once more, Pugh, to wait for me in the adjoining apartment?"
2038May I beg you, sire,"I added hastily, seeing the direction of his glance,"not to look so fixedly at the Duke of Epernon?
2038May I call upon you this evening at your house in the close?
2038May I inquire, Mr. Tress, what it is you propose to do?"
2038May we bring him in, marm?"
2038Might I beg that you would have the goodness to sit down upon one of those boxes, and not to interfere?"
2038Might it not be answerable for what had happened to me?
2038Might n''t the police be grateful for a hint or two?
2038Mixed up in that Rawlings divorce case, was n''t he?
2038Mr. Dacre, is my husband mad?"
2038My poor innocent darling, did you think it came from me?
2038Need I state the result?
2038Need I tell my married brethren how it ended?
2038Next the Colonel said, very shortly:"Well, sir?"
2038No disappointments?
2038Northmour?"
2038Northmour?"
2038Not come home, eh?
2038Now her marriage would mean, of course, the loss of a hundred a year, so what does her stepfather do to prevent it?
2038Now the question is-- where are we to find the photograph?"
2038Now, Mr. Acton, on your honor as a connoisseur and a gentleman, which of the two is the Valdez?"
2038Now, what did you gather from that woman''s appearance?
2038On this he stared so stupidly at me, and exclaimed with so real an appearance of horror:"How?
2038On your word of honor as a man, would_ you_ have let that beautiful creature wander back to the shelter of the stone quarry like a stray dog?
2038Or had rust caused the mechanism to again hang fire?
2038Or is it smashed to atoms?"
2038Or that other creature from the world beyond the grave, whom men call ghost?
2038Or, this time, is the explosion coming off?"
2038Perhaps you can put me in the way of disposing of it?"
2038Perhaps you could drink another tumblerful, my boy?"
2038Pray what steps did you take when you found the card upon the door?"
2038Shall I call a cart?"
2038Shall I ring?
2038Shall I tell you, madam, what I have been doing?
2038Shall we go into the library?"
2038Should I really have fled from temptation in this way, if I had been left to myself to decide?
2038So far, Who is to blame?
2038So tell me the truth, my dear young lady, are you not in danger?"
2038Something in the lady''s face caused him to ask a question;"Did n''t he tell you he had sent it to me?"
2038Suppose he has_ not_ got the almanac-- what then?"
2038Suppose, for instance, it was drugged?
2038Suppose, instead of going mad, we first of all go home?"
2038Surely we were more or less in number than we should be?
2038Tell me honestly, now, how was it done?"
2038Tell me, Mabel, where did he cut off your hair?"
2038Tell me, darling, did that hound actually threaten you with cutting off your arm?
2038Tell me,"she said,"who is it you hate?"
2038That it could be opened, and in some ingenious manner, I made no doubt-- but how?
2038The B.?
2038The creature of a dream?
2038The duke snapped at him:"What has that to do with it?
2038The four pounds a week was a lure which must draw him, and what was it to them, who were playing for thousands?
2038The next question is-- what has brought us into the inn yard?
2038The peasant repeats,"Var to Oonderbridge?"
2038The stranger turned, with his graceful smile, to the duke:"But are we not wasting precious time?
2038The woman who had tried to stab me, not a living human being like myself?
2038Then at the gasfitters''ball you met, as I understand, a gentleman called Mr. Hosmer Angel?"
2038Then he remarked, possibly intending to be facetious:"Been robbing the bank?
2038There was another question unresolved; and to this, I may say, I feared to give an answer; if he had recognized me, what would he have done?
2038There were guests expected, that was plain; but why guests, when Northmour hated society?
2038This assistant of yours who first called your attention to the advertisement-- how long had he been with you?"
2038This is the value you set upon your father''s life?
2038To what Englishman shall I send it?"
2038Tress, was this in the box?"
2038Turned out of the Dragoon Guards for cheating at cards, or picking pockets, or something-- remember the row at the Cerulean Club?
2038VIII Who could possibly be up and about in our quiet village at the second hour of the morning?
2038Was I listening to the cries of some small animal in agony?
2038Was ever man so tantalized?
2038Was he an I- talian?
2038Was he trying to find the whereabouts of my safe?
2038Was it Moselle wine?"
2038Was it a Pickford''s van?"
2038Was it possible that a Duchess of Datchet could be kidnaped, in broad daylight, in the heart of London, and be sent home, as it were, in pieces?
2038Was it possible that it could be his wife''s, the duchess?
2038Was it possible that she had remained there during my absence?
2038Was it to be in church?"
2038Was it you that was a- calling just now in the yard?"
2038Was n''t it a man named Pugh?"
2038Was she going to faint?
2038Was she gone for good?
2038Was she his client, his friend, or his mistress?
2038Was the large stone no better?
2038Was there anything in the box besides?"
2038Was_ this_ the present-- this crystal?
2038What cheer?
2038What could it be, once more?
2038What could it be?
2038What could such a woman see in me?
2038What could you do with it, even if I gave it you?
2038What day of the month was this day that had just begun?
2038What did it mean?
2038What do you mean by coming into a man''s place and frightening his family out of their wits by a dream?"
2038What do you mean by talking such nonsense?"
2038What do you mean-- you, a gentleman-- by skulking like a spy about this desolate place?
2038What do you mean?
2038What do you mean?"
2038What do you mean?"

2038What would his alarming the whole establishment matter to_ me_ after I had got rid of the compromising presence of my guest?

2038What''s this?"
2038What, still vexing, mistress?"
2038What-- what was in the box?"
2038When opened, what would be found inside?
2038When shall you be able to enter upon your new duties?''
2038When would that be?
2038When?"
2038When?"
2038When_ they_ gave me a kiss, did their lips linger over it as hers did?
2038Where are the people of the inn?
2038Where can we do that?

2038Where did you see her?"
2038Where do you live?
2038Where is your father''s place of business?"

2038Where''s that sapphire you stole?"
2038Where?"
2038Wherever did these come from?"
2038Which way are you going?"
2038White hair, devilish queer, was n''t it?
2038Who and what is this man?
2038Who can tell?
2038Who can tell?
2038Who counseled you to attempt his majesty''s life?"
2038Who is that medicine for?

2038Who was she?
2038Who would present a diamond as big as a walnut with a trumpery puzzle?
2038Who''s Brasher?
2038Whom have I the honor to address?"
2038Why did you not wait for me after you had sent me that?"
2038Why did you not wait until I came?"
2038Why does he say such dreadful things in his sleep?
2038Why had Northmour landed with his guests at dead of night, in half a gale of wind, and with the floe scarce covered?
2038Why had he sought to kill me?
2038Why is it worse for him than anyone else?"

2038Why not, therefore, act on Mr. Dacre''s suggestion?
2038Why not?
2038Why should I attempt to conceal it?"
2038Why should n''t the bishop and Lady Carwitchet meet?
2038Why should she hand it over to anyone else?
2038Why, if I may hazard a guess, I do n''t suppose you make five hundred a year here, at the outside?"
2038Will it last long?
2038Will you be ready to- morrow?''
2038Will you join me?
2038Wilson?"
2038Wo n''t you sit down?
2038Would she not have made an admirable queen?
2038Would you mind reading me the advertised description of Mr. Hosmer Angel?"
2038Ye''ll be thinking in secret, Francie, of a dairk woman?"
2038You do n''t suppose I should have given you such a pipe as that merely because it happened to be drugged?
2038You had been hard at work, I suppose?"
2038You quite follow me?"
2038You take me?
2038You think I will risk my life and liberty for love of the old gentleman; and then, I suppose, be best man at the wedding, to wind up?
2038You understand?"
2038You would n''t compare my friendship to the friendship of such a man as Brasher?
2038Your majesty will, of course, stay in London for the present?"
2038Your own opinion is, then, that some unforeseen catastrophe has occurred to him?"
2038Your wife?"
2038_ Now_ what possessed the thing?
2038_ Voilà tout!_""And Miss Sutherland?"
2038and look as she looked?
2038and why am I obliged to turn groom, and hold the horses?
2038and why were the shutters closed and the doors padlocked?
2038cried he,"yon black- avised fellow wi''the teeth?
2038did the baron mean to use them as a bait for his new method of wolf hunting?
2038exclaimed I, astounded,''is your master then married?--since when?''
2038he asked,"what''s happened?"
2038he broke out,"are you angry?
2038in the market- place, and each Will turn upon his neighbor anxious eyes That ask:--"Art thou the man?"
2038my boy, what do you make of that?"
2038or had I only received a second warning?
2038or on another party, meaning me?"
2038said I;"you have heard of me from Northmour?
2038what could I see in her?
2038what''s this?
2038where is the knife?"
2038where?"
2038why do n''t you look for the bell?"
25873A fair race? 25873 A message for me?"
25873After lunch?
25873Against such appealing strangers?
25873Ah, would you?
25873All over? 25873 An''testify to a lie?"
25873And can nothing be done?
25873And did you go?
25873And do we have to leave these shores?
25873And how did you come to get it?
25873And land on a desert island? 25873 And now, Freddie,"began Denny, drawing out two chairs,"what do you think of my housekeeping?"
25873And oh, what is that?
25873And so they''re going to do up old Denny, eh?
25873And that''s what?
25873And the mother, Freddie?
25873And what are those papers?
25873And why should n''t I?
25873Any papers?
25873Any tents down?
25873Anything for what?
25873Are n''t you going to do anything toward getting a meal?
25873Are we getting too near the rocks, Cora?
25873Are we too late to come in?
25873Are you Freda Lewis?
25873Are you afraid?
25873Are you all ready?
25873Are you going or coming?
25873Are you going to beat him?
25873Are you sure it was a fair race?
25873Are you? 25873 Belle, can you keep that rope taut?"
25873But did the thieves take anything?
25873But he has none; has he?
25873But how can we get Shane in the proper frame of mind to testify as we want him to?
25873But is n''t it perfectly beautiful along here?
25873But is the dangerous place you spoke of near here?
25873But the togs?
25873But those duffers, the land men,continued Dray,"what are they after the girls for?
25873But was n''t Freda splendid? 25873 But what about Denny?"
25873But what about those men?
25873But what are we going to do?
25873But what happened?
25873But what is it you want to do, Cora, dear?
25873But what?
25873But where are you going, Cora, you and your friends?
25873But why?
25873But you are coming this afternoon?
25873But, Cora, ca n''t we go closer? 25873 Ca n''t we go in for them, and look after Dray''s boat afterward?"
25873Ca n''t you come along, old man?
25873Ca n''t you tell me first? 25873 Can you get up any more speed?"
25873Candy?
25873Chelton? 25873 Cora Kimball-- how dare you?"
25873Could n''t I? 25873 Could n''t we take the_ Chelton_?"
25873Could n''t you?
25873Did I hear you girls say you were going out?
25873Did anybody lose anything?
25873Did he have some sort of weapon? 25873 Did n''t we run the_ Pet_?"
25873Did n''t you get the note we left pinned to the door?
25873Did the girls invite us?
25873Did you lose anything?
25873Do I stay for lunch?
25873Do n''t you think we would see something in the Cliff ball room?
25873Do n''t you want a little race? 25873 Do something?"
25873Do we go out for a sail?
25873Do we have to stay here all alone?
25873Do we?
25873Do what?
25873Do what?
25873Do you allow us? 25873 Do you know what they''d do as soon as they found out who we were?"
25873Do you mean that you girls are going to try to----to outwit those desperate men?
25873Do you mean to say that you are really hungry?
25873Do you mean to say we have to feed-- all you boys?
25873Do you see anything of the boys?
25873Do you suppose it could all be over?
25873Do you think I should have given myself more of a handicap?
25873Do you think for a moment that anyone is going to do themselves out of house and home like that?
25873Do you think it''s a conspiracy?
25873Do you want it?
25873Do_ you_ grow around here?
25873Does n''t he?
25873Does that boat ever go out two days in succession, Cora?
25873Ed, did you ever wield a hammer as truthfully as that?
25873Engine broken, or are you out of gasoline?
25873Feed us? 25873 Freda and Mrs. Lewis are going out; are n''t they?"
25873Freda, dear, what is the matter?
25873Freddie could n''t stay abed when the sun is beckonin''on the waves; could you, Freddie?
25873Freddie, is that you?
25873Get at me, is it?
25873Grub?
25873Has anything more happened since last night?
25873Have n''t you an oar or a paddle?
25873Have they been annoying you of late?
25873He''s very poetical; is n''t he?
25873Here,called Jack,"can you make it to get in here?"
25873How are we going to save him if we land at Buler''s, and let these fellows go on?
25873How dare you suggest such a thing?
25873How did you girls get here?
25873How do you feel, Lottie?
25873How do you feel?
25873How do you know?
25873How do you know?
25873How is that?
25873How was it you boys_ did n''t_ get here?
25873How''s she gettin''on?
25873How?
25873How?
25873How?
25873Hurt?
25873I am convinced that those men are dishonest, for why should they go sneaking around that way? 25873 I mean could the men have been here, and been captured by the boys and taken to jail?"
25873I shall tell mother----"What''s he been doing now?
25873I suppose it is something about Freda''s property; do n''t you think so?
25873I think that electric toaster might be all right for fudge, but for real bread-- Now say, Cora, can you really cook pork and beans on that?
25873I wonder if he thought that would be demolished?
25873I wonder, though, did he stick''em anywhere around me cabin? 25873 Is he there?"
25873Is it rented now?
25873Is it something to eat?
25873Is n''t Hilda pretty? 25873 Is n''t he the quaintest old man?"
25873Is n''t it perfectly silly?
25873Is n''t it salty?
25873Is n''t this a fine day?
25873Is that the cottage?
25873It does n''t seem so; does it?
25873It is aggravating; is n''t it?
25873It''s Freda and Denny, and someone else?
25873It''s a case of carrying coals to Newcastle; is n''t it?
25873Jack, have n''t you boys had your supper?
25873Let us see it? 25873 Marita, just straighten out that stern flag, will you?
25873May we come to eat now?
25873Nerves? 25873 No, but seriously, what''s it all about?"
25873No, but you saw me talking to that girl on the platform; did n''t you?
25873Not get them, eh?
25873Now what about having wasted our time? 25873 Now what are you two up to?"
25873Now where do you fellows want to go? 25873 Now, can I help you, young lady?"
25873Now, would n''t you think,said Jack, as he fortified himself with a sandwich,"that any decent chap would know that we belonged to the union?
25873Now, young ladies, are you ready for a tramp? 25873 Oh, but suppose they should come while we are here?"
25873Oh, do you?
25873Oh, that''s Uncle Denny; do n''t you know him? 25873 Oh, that''s the game; is it?
25873Oh, the girls are all right,Jack assured the old seaman;"but say, Dray,"he called,"what''s the matter, anyhow?"
25873Oh, we are just crazy to get out on the water,Bess put in,"and what do you think?
25873Oh, what am I to do?
25873Oh, what''s the matter, Denny?
25873Oh, why do n''t the boys come?
25873Oh, wo n''t they come?
25873Say, ca n''t you get her going?
25873See the rain- hat and slicker?
25873Shall we demonstrate?
25873She is, Freda? 25873 Sit on the other side; will you, Lottie dear?"
25873So you had a race with them?
25873Some lady?
25873Something given way?
25873Sposin''he wo n''t take the cash?
25873Surprised, is it? 25873 The one who wears the Panama?
25873The storm?
25873Thinking of spilled grub?
25873This is a bit like the old days; is n''t it? 25873 Tramp through the woods at this hour of night?"
25873Turned or unturned?
25873Was n''t it awful?
25873Well, Jack?
25873Well, supposin''I can?
25873Well, what do you know about that?
25873Well, what''s the program, then?
25873Well, what''s your answer?
25873Well,he asked, pleasantly,"is it to be a race?"
25873Were you going to paddle?
25873What about us?
25873What about you? 25873 What about?"
25873What are you doing here? 25873 What are you girls up to?"
25873What can have happened?
25873What could have been his object?
25873What could have happened?
25873What did I tell you?
25873What did you call her_ Chelton_ for?
25873What did you do?
25873What did you see?
25873What do you say we buy that one from Camp Cattle? 25873 What do you think of that?"
25873What does a race amount to if you do n''t try to win?
25873What dress?
25873What for?
25873What had we better do? 25873 What happened?"
25873What is it?
25873What is it?
25873What is it?
25873What is it?
25873What is that to you?
25873What is the trouble?
25873What kind?
25873What makes you say that?
25873What makes you think so?
25873What nonsense has he been telling you now?
25873What was your fright?
25873What will she say?
25873What''s it all about?
25873What''s the matter with it?
25873What''s the matter, Dray?
25873What''s the matter, Lottie?
25873What''s the matter, Miss?
25873What''s the sense in sighing after the impossible?
25873What''s this?
25873What''s up?
25873What?
25873What?
25873What?
25873Where are the boys?
25873Where are you going, Cora?
25873Where are you going, Lottie?
25873Where are you?
25873Where can she have gone?
25873Where did you come from?
25873Where have you been, girls?
25873Where have you been?
25873Where shall I put this?
25873Where''s the Widder Lewis?
25873Where''s the bungalow?
25873Who are you, anyhow?
25873Who can it be from?
25873Who else would do it?
25873Who found them?
25873Who is in her?
25873Who is it?
25873Who told you we were coming to dine?
25873Who would believe a storm would end like that?
25873Who would?
25873Who''d be listening?
25873Who''s been screaming?
25873Who''s the man?
25873Why did n''t they take the_ Dixie_?
25873Why did n''t we have one of the boys come with us?
25873Why did n''t you tell us?
25873Why did you want to say we''d like to be landed at Buler''s?
25873Why do n''t they come?
25873Why do n''t you finish packing, Bess?
25873Why do n''t you include Walter and the others?
25873Why do n''t you?
25873Why do you come here bothering me?
25873Why not ask the boys to help?
25873Why not?
25873Why should the men bother you?
25873Why should we make good for a storm?
25873Why so?
25873Why, how did mother get there? 25873 Why, is that the throne seat?"
25873Why, what is wrong?
25873Why?
25873Why?
25873Will someone please enlighten me?
25873Will the boys go and leave us?
25873Will-- we-- eat-- it?
25873Will-- will it be dangerous?
25873Would you have gone with him?
25873Yes, and what do you think that was?
25873You are?
25873You have?
25873You''ll look after the steering; will you?
25873You''re never going to do that; are you?
25873Your overalls?
25873All ready?"
25873And that house on the hill?"
25873And then, after proposing it, why had he not won it when, clearly, he might have done so?
25873And what was it he said?
25873And where do you put up?"
25873And who is still''on deck''giving orders?"
25873Any more of you, Jack?"
25873Anybody home?"
25873Are they from Chelton?"
25873Are you sure you have enough crackers, Cora?
25873At the same time, from without the cabin there flashed several lights, and the voices of men were heard asking:"What''s going on here?"
25873Belle, will you get them out?
25873Bess, do you want to come with me?
25873But I say, what about the racket at the Mote last night?
25873But how did you know?
25873But where are the papers?"
25873But who?
25873CHAPTER II FREDA''S STORY"Well, are we all here?"
25873CHAPTER VI THE"CHELTON""Oh, is n''t it exciting?"
25873CHAPTER VII IN THE MOTELY MOTE"Do you young ladies realize that we have the cares of housekeeping on our shoulders?"
25873CHAPTER XVI A BAD CASE OF NERVES"Would the boys have anything in their camp, do you suppose?"
25873CHAPTER XXIV DENNY''S SOLILOQUY"What shall we do?"
25873CHAPTER XXV THE PLOTTERS ARRIVE"What''s the trouble?"
25873CHAPTER XXVII THE RED OAR AGAIN"Cora Kimball, what are you going to do?"
25873Chelton?
25873Cold cream?"
25873Did n''t we plainly say Tuesday?"
25873Did you hear anything new?"
25873Did you send me a message?
25873Did you send me that false message?
25873Do n''t you hear something?"
25873Do n''t you remember how the small showers doused it?"
25873Do n''t you think so, fellows?"
25873Do you know where that is?"
25873Does n''t it run smoothly?"
25873Does n''t shoot up on land for a change, does it?
25873Have you any papers to prove your claim?"
25873Have you any to put out at interest?"
25873Have you got a long rope?"
25873Have you had your grape fruit?"
25873Have you made out the menu, Cora dear?"
25873How much do you draw?"
25873How much is a ticket?"
25873How''d the game with the widow''s daughter work out?"
25873How?"
25873I need everything I''ve squeezed into it; and so what else can I do?"
25873I wonder if he did?"
25873I wonder if it can be-- just money?"
25873I wonder if she thinks folks in motor boats run slowly enough to see little white caps on little light girls?"
25873I wonder what Grandfather Lewis did with them papers?"
25873I wonder what on earth the squall did to headquarters?"
25873I wonder where he can be keeping himself, all day?"
25873I wonder why mammas, with good moral intentions, train little boys to eat?"
25873Is it a real worry, Freda?"
25873Is n''t this wonderful?"
25873Is there aught to eat at the Mote?
25873Lewis?"
25873No, we could laugh in their faces, so we could; could n''t we?"
25873Now if you''ll sit down----""What do you mean?"
25873Now would n''t you like to come forward and meet some of the girls?
25873Now, as long as you''re here, ca n''t you come with us?"
25873Oh, dear, Bess, what are you doing now?"
25873Or do you think he tried to get us over this way, hoping we would be wrecked on the rocks?
25873Suppose we do that?"
25873Tell him ourselves?"
25873They have n''t been around here since we left; have they?"
25873They heard the voice of the old fisherman call:"Who''s there?
25873They would insist upon trying on every article of clothing they unpacked; would n''t they Cora?"
25873This afternoon at two exactly-- will you come, Uncle Denny?"
25873Was he going to betray Freda and her mother?
25873Was it right to confide thus in a stranger?
25873What did he want in Bayhead?
25873What did the lads think of the fixin''s?"
25873What do you mean?"
25873What do you mean?"
25873What do you say to that?
25873What do you say, Jack?"
25873What do you say?"
25873What do you want at this time of night?"
25873What do you want?"
25873What for?
25873What has happened?"
25873What if the boat could not ride those waves?
25873What in the world did Grandfather Lewis do with''em anyhow?
25873What is the_ Chelton_ for if we ca n''t use her?"
25873What more natural than that he''d have the papers near the land?
25873What sort of way is this to keep law and order?"
25873What was your purpose in so deceiving me?"
25873What''s that?
25873Where have you been?"
25873Where is my mother?
25873Where''s that dinner bell?"
25873Which way could two small motor boats hope to plough their way in such a fury of wind, rain and lightning?
25873Who are you, and why do you ask me these questions?
25873Who did all the engineering in the storm?
25873Who has the key?"
25873Who on earth put that indemnity clause in, anyhow?"
25873Who was this strange young man who seemed so friendly?
25873Who''s that?
25873Why did he now let the men think he did know?
25873Why did n''t you say you were getting wet?"
25873Why do n''t the boys catch crabs?"
25873Why do n''t you go to them?"
25873Why had he done it?
25873Why had he proposed a race?
25873Why not ask for information from the proper persons?"
25873Why not go ashore and have a little picnic?
25873Why should n''t I?
25873Why?"
25873Wo n''t that stop them from bothering Denny-- at least to- night?"
25873Would n''t it be fine if we could?"
25873You and your mother are trying to establish a claim to some property; are n''t you?"
25873You are not going out, are you?"
25873You leave in the morning?
25873You met her; did you not?"
25873m.?"
25873sighed Cora Kimball, as she gazed helplessly about,"will we ever be finished, Bess?"
20912''Does she know?'' 20912 ''I?''
20912A Chinaman, eh?
20912A bit solid for a box spring, is n''t it?
20912A detective?
20912A diary?
20912A loaded pistol?
20912A magistrate?
20912A private detective?
20912A telegram from me?
20912About that telegram, sir?
20912Adventurers?
20912Against me? 20912 Against what?"
20912Am I doing that?
20912Am I going to get into any trouble for talking?
20912An ugly- looking brute, is n''t it?
20912And all the proof of Milburgh''s guilt gone up in smoke, eh?
20912And can you discover how it came to be in the possession of----he paused,"the murderer of Thornton Lyne?"
20912And did you?
20912And left the pistol behind?
20912And left the pistol behind?
20912And now that you have found me,she went on, speaking rapidly,"what do you want?"
20912And that somebody was Milburgh?
20912And the revolver-- when you got home was it in your pocket?
20912And this is one of those?
20912And what induced her to leave London so hurriedly?
20912And when you said you would come with me to England, did you expect to meet-- the bad Englishman?
20912And when you went out to telephone, had you your overcoat?
20912And you desired his death?
20912And you have told me that you suspected Miss Rider of defalcations?
20912And you left the body in the flat?
20912And you mean to tell me,he demanded,"that Thornton Lyne was killed with your pistol?"
20912And you''re going to arrest me?
20912Any fresh news?
20912Are there any marks of a man beside us three?
20912Are there laundry marks?
20912Are you expecting a visitor?
20912Are you going abroad?
20912Are you sure it is yours?
20912Are you sure?
20912As a witness, eh?
20912At what time?
20912Before you start,he said,"tell me this: What information did you give to Ling Chu which led him to leave you?"
20912But do n''t you realise that you may be charged with being an accessory before or after the act?
20912But do n''t you see that suspicion will attach to you?
20912But has n''t she been here?
20912But is it necessary that I should stay here?
20912But who would commit such an infernal act as that? 20912 But why St. Mary Axe at this time of the afternoon?
20912But why on earth should he want to put in three new ledgers-- they were new, were n''t they? 20912 But why?"
20912By- the- way, is the cartridge still in the chamber?
20912Ca n''t come in?
20912Can I have a glass of water?
20912Can I see you for a few moments?
20912Can he account for his movements last night and early this morning?
20912Can you come round to the Yard immediately, Tarling?
20912Complaints about what?
20912Daffodils?
20912Dead?
20912Did he also give you the key of his desk?
20912Did he send two wires, do you remember?
20912Did he speak at all?
20912Did n''t she arrive here two nights ago?
20912Did you close the door behind you when you went in?
20912Did you ever meet Stay before?
20912Did you get in?
20912Did you kill him?
20912Did you leave the lights burning?
20912Did you not send for her?
20912Did you read my little book?
20912Do n''t you know me?
20912Do n''t you know?
20912Do n''t you realise how every new development brings you more and more under suspicion?
20912Do n''t you realise that I love you and would give my life to save you from unhappiness? 20912 Do n''t you see what it means to you and to your mother?"
20912Do n''t you wish you might never come round, eh? 20912 Do you accept Ling Chu''s theory?"
20912Do you accuse Miss Rider of complicity in this murder?
20912Do you dare to accuse me----?
20912Do you ever take exercise?
20912Do you feel well enough to go out now?
20912Do you hear?
20912Do you know Paddington at all?
20912Do you know anything about daffodils, Whiteside?
20912Do you know the person who has been robbing you?
20912Do you know what has happened to Miss Rider?
20912Do you know where he is? 20912 Do you know whether Miss Rider has friends at Hertford?"
20912Do you know whom you are talking to?
20912Do you live here alone?
20912Do you mean to accuse----?
20912Do you mind if I smoke?
20912Do you remember the night of the eleventh?
20912Do you remember this?
20912Do you see that whorl? 20912 Do you share this flat with somebody?"
20912Do you think that Miss Rider had any reason for running away?
20912Do you think that he knows anything about this?
20912Do you think the girl has frightened him?
20912Do you want-- this?
20912Does it enhance or depreciate your position?
20912Does your mother know that you are in Hertford?
20912Duty''s duty,she mocked him,"and now tell me this-- are you going to keep me under observation all the time?"
20912Empty, of course?
20912Fainted, eh? 20912 First tell me, Ling Chu,"he said,"what happened?
20912For what?
20912For what?
20912Frame up?
20912Go out?
20912Go out?
20912Good?
20912Guarded?
20912Had you your overcoat on?
20912Has Mr. Tarling come?
20912Has he an heir?
20912Has he died? 20912 Has she a key?"
20912Has that idea sunk into your mind?
20912Have n''t you been out this beautiful morning?
20912Have n''t you your own shop detective who could take that job in hand? 20912 Have you a lover?"
20912Have you any idea where she would be?
20912Have you any idea why he should want to out you?
20912Have you any news of her? 20912 Have you arrested her?"
20912Have you ever loved anybody?
20912Have you seen mother?
20912He did n''t receive the telegram?
20912He is a gentleman I heard about when I was in China-- you know I was in China for three months, when I made my tour round the world?
20912He was good to you, was he not?
20912He?
20912Hello, Ling Chu,said Tarling in English,"you''re hurt?"
20912Her father? 20912 Here?"
20912Hillington Grove, sir? 20912 How did you find it out?"
20912How did you find out that?
20912How did you get in and out?
20912How did you know that?
20912How do I know?
20912How do you know that he quick die?
20912How do you know that?
20912How do you know which was the first woman and which was the second?
20912How do you know?
20912How do you mean?
20912How long has it been gone?
20912How long were you in the house?
20912How long will the examination take?
20912How many people are concerned in this murder?
20912How was I dressed? 20912 How was he dressed?"
20912How were you dressed?
20912Hullo, what are you trying to do? 20912 I did n''t say anything that would give me away, did I?"
20912I did n''t say anything, did I?
20912I happened to see the signature to that wire--''Odette,''is n''t it?
20912I have complained that sums of money have been missing for the past month?
20912I hope I did n''t hurt you? 20912 I know who done it,"he said vehemently,"and if I had him here, I''d....""How do you know?"
20912I make no accusation,he said,"and as to the murder?"
20912I miss him four days,said Ling Chu calmly;"Who took it?"
20912I see,said Tarling,"so it was you who packed the bag?"
20912I sent for her?
20912I suppose I do,said Tarling slowly,"it''s vanity, I suppose?"
20912I suppose it has meant an upset at the Stores, this terrible happening?
20912I suppose the doctor''s evidence is unshakable?
20912I suppose you thought it rather curious that a man in my position should bother his head to write poetry, eh?
20912I suppose you''re a friend of the young lady''s, are n''t you?
20912I suppose you''re taking her with you?
20912I suppose you''ve sent out the description and the number to all the gunsmiths?
20912I suppose, Mr. Tarling, nothing has been discovered?
20912I think you were sorry for me,she said,"and you were rather led into your wild declaration of-- of----""Love?"
20912I wonder if they were the three books that Milburgh bought yesterday?
20912I? 20912 If I think you have committed this crime?"
20912In other words, you are not confessing anything?
20912In other words, you contemplated suicide?
20912In other words, you suspect Miss Rider of robbing the firm?
20912In the first place,he asked bluntly,"why are you here under the name of Miss Stevens?"
20912In your own office?
20912Indeed, sir?
20912Is anything wrong?
20912Is it not possible for you to come out?
20912Is n''t that clever of you to discover that?
20912Is n''t that the fact?
20912Is that the gun that killed Thornton Lyne?
20912Is that you, Mr. Tarling? 20912 Is there a telephone here?"
20912Is there any fresh news?
20912Is there any necessity for your daughter working for a living?
20912Is there any particular reason?
20912Is there nothing else?
20912It''s Mrs. Rider you want?
20912Know what?
20912Ling Chu is your Chinese servant?
20912Listen to that?
20912Little night walks in the fog for the benefit of your health?
20912Love?
20912M.C.A.?
20912Mad?
20912Master,he said,"may not the white- faced man who is now dead have brought such a thing from Shanghai?
20912Master,said the Chinaman,"why should he have been murdered?"
20912May I come with you?
20912May I have that please?
20912Might I ask her name?
20912Mr. Lyne''s death?
20912Murdered with your pistol, eh?
20912Must I be butchered to make a detective''s holiday?
20912My father, did you say?
20912My father?
20912My promise,he said,"what promise?"
20912Not from the girl''s flat at all?
20912Not you?
20912Now what do you wish me to do? 20912 Now, Mr. Milburgh,"he said brusquely,"I want to ask you: Have you ever seen a piece of paper like this before?"
20912Now, just quieten yourself down and tell me all Lyne told you about her, will you, my lad?
20912Now, my friend, what do you want?
20912Now, you will tell me, Ling Chu, did those printed words speak the truth?
20912Odette dear,he said gently,"is this yours?"
20912Of course, it was very harried at first and-- what do you want?
20912Of theft?
20912Of whom are you speaking?
20912Oh, you sent for Ling Chu, did you?
20912On Mr. Lyne''s desk,was the surprising answer"On Lyne''s desk?"
20912On the charge of-- murder?
20912On the night of the fourteenth?
20912Or on the handkerchiefs?
20912Prove her innocence? 20912 Rider?"
20912Sam Stay is dead, eh?
20912Scotland Yard, eh?
20912Shall I give him some water?
20912She is not very well off, but extremely neat, fond of good things, but not extravagant, eh?
20912She was a good girl?
20912She''s a friend of yours, ai n''t she?
20912So it was committed with your pistol, Tarling?
20912So this is where the young lady lives, eh? 20912 So you hate Miss Rider, do you?"
20912So you knew that, did you?
20912So you were the cyclist, eh?
20912Suppose Milburgh knew something about this murder-- which is very doubtful-- what benefit would it be to him to have you put out of the way?
20912Suppose you met Miss Rider?
20912Supposing it were true that I had robbed the firm, why should I want to kill Mr. Thornton Lyne? 20912 Take me home?"
20912Tarling the name?
20912Tell me, please, what has happened?
20912Tell you what?
20912Tell you what?
20912That Thornton Lyne is dead,said Tarling,"and that it is for his murder that a warrant has been issued for your arrest?"
20912That was the Chinese girl''s name, eh? 20912 That''s near Regent Street, is n''t it?"
20912That''s the idea, eh?
20912The murder of Thornton Lyne? 20912 The naked feet?"
20912The second?
20912The three ledgers?
20912The young lady could supply no information?
20912Then I am not arrested?
20912Then she_ does_ suspect somebody?
20912Then why did you not tell the police before? 20912 Then you do have watchers?"
20912Then you have n''t seen her?
20912Then, who killed Thornton Lyne?
20912There was nobody in the room?
20912They are diaries; I wonder if the beggar kept a diary?
20912They were n''t in the fire- proof vault?
20912They, they?
20912This is the lot?
20912This thing has been preying on the poor devil''s mind--''phone an ambulance, Whiteside, will you?
20912Thornton Lyne?
20912To Miss Rider?
20912To the Continent, eh?
20912To the big shop?
20912To the flat?
20912To what girl do you refer?
20912Train to London, sir?
20912Upon what others will tell me,said Tarling"Others?
20912Very late at night?
20912Was it a woman?
20912Was she surprised when you told her of the murder? 20912 We?"
20912Well, Sam,he said, genially"you did n''t expect me?"
20912Well, and what next?
20912Well, my man,he asked with a smile,"what can I do for you?"
20912Well, what do you make of that, Whiteside?
20912Well, what is the next move?
20912Well, you know how I feel, do n''t you?
20912Well,said Tarling,"what have you discovered?"
20912Well?
20912Well?
20912Well?
20912Well?
20912Well?
20912What about her?
20912What about the man?
20912What are they?
20912What are you doing?
20912What are you going to do?
20912What are you going to do?
20912What are you going to do?
20912What are you talking about?
20912What business do you mean?
20912What could you do?
20912What did he hear?
20912What did he look like?
20912What did the Man with the Cunning Face say to my letter?
20912What did you think of them?
20912What do you expect to find out from the mother?
20912What do you expect to find?
20912What do you make of it?
20912What do you mean by bluff?
20912What do you mean? 20912 What do you mean?
20912What do you mean?
20912What do you mean?
20912What do you mean?
20912What do you mean?
20912What do you mean?
20912What do you say?
20912What do you think of Milburgh''s story?
20912What do you think of the other matter-- the threat against Odette?
20912What do you think, Tarling?
20912What do you want to forget?
20912What do you want?
20912What does it all mean?
20912What does it mean? 20912 What does it mean?"
20912What effect has this murder had upon you personally?
20912What exchange was that?
20912What had he in common with the criminal?
20912What happened then?
20912What happened then?
20912What happened to my taxi?
20912What happened?
20912What has happened?
20912What have you against her?
20912What have you done?
20912What is Mr. Milburgh to you?
20912What is extraordinary?
20912What is it?
20912What is it?
20912What is it?
20912What is it?
20912What is this?
20912What is wrong? 20912 What is your theory, Ling Chu?"
20912What makes you say that?
20912What of Face- White- and- Weak Man, Ling?
20912What salary are you paying Milburgh?
20912What sort of a man was Thornton Lyne?
20912What sort of a revolver is it?
20912What sort of ledgers?
20912What time was this?
20912What truth can I tell you?
20912What was he doing?
20912What was the false statement?
20912What was the man like who called?
20912What was the naked foot-- man or woman?
20912What were you going to see me about?
20912What''s on earth the matter?
20912When did you see Thornton Lyne last?
20912When was this murder committed?
20912When will this be?
20912Where am I to go?
20912Where are you going?
20912Where are you going?
20912Where are you-- we-- going?
20912Where did you say it was discovered?
20912Where did you see Thornton Lyne last?
20912Where did you see it last?
20912Where do you keep it as a rule?
20912Where does that door lead?
20912Where does that door lead?
20912Where have you seen these papers?
20912Where is Sam Stay?
20912Where is my revolver?
20912Where is she?
20912Where was it?
20912Where was the revolver?
20912Where''s the fire, constable?
20912Where?
20912Who are they? 20912 Who are we?"
20912Who are you?
20912Who are you?
20912Who are you?
20912Who has sent you? 20912 Who is the criminal?"
20912Who is the lady, may I venture to ask, sir?
20912Who is this?
20912Who sent the wire to your mother saying you were not coming down?
20912Who was it?
20912Who was the man? 20912 Who was the man?"
20912Who''s that?
20912Who?
20912Who?
20912Why did he put you there?
20912Why did she call herself Miss Stevens?
20912Why did you come to Hertford to- night?
20912Why did you not notify the police?
20912Why do n''t you make a confidant of me, Miss Rider?
20912Why do n''t you tell me?
20912Why do you ask?
20912Why do you want to help me?
20912Why impossible?
20912Why natural?
20912Why not?
20912Why should he be found with daffodils on his chest? 20912 Why to South America?"
20912Why unfortunately?
20912Why yes, where did you find it?
20912Why, what has happened? 20912 Why?
20912Why?
20912Will the master be good enough to give me a cigarette? 20912 Will the master go back to Shanghai?"
20912Will you meet the next train in from Ashford? 20912 Will you please make your story as short as possible?"
20912Will you please take me back?
20912Will you please tell me what you did with the revolver which you found on Mr. Lyne''s desk? 20912 Will you take them?"
20912Wo n''t you please tell me?
20912Wo n''t you sit down?
20912Worried about her?
20912Would you like me to come along with you?
20912Would you like me to come along?
20912Yes?
20912You ai n''t come with the young lady she was expecting?
20912You are not going out to- night then, Ling Chu?
20912You can not identify any of these with Miss Rider?
20912You did n''t think I''d desert you, Sam, eh?
20912You do n''t know me, eh?
20912You do n''t mean that?
20912You do n''t mean----?
20912You do n''t think it''s worth while, eh?
20912You do not know the Chinese people? 20912 You have all the books in your keeping?"
20912You have been to the Man with the Cunning Face?
20912You have found out something, though?
20912You have n''t mixed your own footmarks up with somebody else''s?
20912You have no idea which way they went?
20912You have no particular reason for wishing to shield Miss Rider, have you?
20912You have?
20912You know that around Lyne''s chest a silk night- dress was discovered?
20912You know?
20912You mean Miss Rider?
20912You mean he was sane?
20912You mean the motor?
20912You mean--she went redder than ever--"that I care enough for you-- that I would make an effort for your sake?"
20912You saw him?
20912You speak me, Lieh Jen?
20912You take a tremendous interest in Miss Rider, do n''t you?
20912You take something for granted, do n''t you?
20912You want me to get the evidence, eh?
20912You want my finger prints?
20912You were working pretty hard before Mr. Lyne was killed, were you not?
20912You wonder what?
20912You''ll circulate the description of the cab, I suppose? 20912 You''re going to Ashford?
20912You''re not going in for criminal investigation, are you, doctor?
20912You''ve looked through them?
20912You''ve seen these slips on Lyne''s desk?
20912You-- you have a warrant, have n''t you?
20912Your name is Milburgh, if I remember aright?
20912Your taxi, sir?
2091287?"
20912A telegram was sent to Mr. Lyne asking him to come to my flat?
20912Also there was another trouble-- do you remember?"
20912And if she was innocent, why had she disappeared so completely and in circumstances so suspicious?
20912And more particularly, what had he been doing in Thornton Lyne''s private room?
20912And the_ Hong_?
20912And then:"May I ask if any provision had been made to carry on the business in the event of Mr. Lyne''s sudden death?"
20912And what did Sam Stay know?
20912And what had Milburgh been doing in the store by himself so late at night?
20912And who had been the cause of it all?
20912And why would you submit to this bondage?
20912And why, if he was murdered here, should she trouble to pay that tribute of her respect?"
20912And you have no idea who carried the body away?"
20912Are you safe?
20912But how could that be?
20912But how do you know that she does not drive?"
20912But how had he lured Thornton Lyne to the flat?
20912But perhaps you will explain to me the meaning of this visit?"
20912But what of Milburgh, that suave and oily man?
20912But what was the shame?
20912But why should he be wearing list slippers?
20912By- the- way, when did he buy these books?"

20912CHAPTER XXXI SAM STAY TURNS UP"I have seen you somewhere before, ai n''t I?"
20912Come, Miss Rider, wo n''t you let me help you?
20912D''ye hear?
20912Did anybody hate him?"
20912Did he go to my flat?"
20912Did he shadow you?"
20912Did it begin with an''R''?"
20912Did she mention anybody''s name?"
20912Did the cabman know the daughter?
20912Did you make inquiries at all?
20912Did you preach over him when they buried him in that little vault in''Ighgate?
20912Do I understand Mr. Lyne has not sent you?"
20912Do I understand that she is wanted in connection with the Daffodil Murder?"
20912Do n''t you see, Odette, I want to help you?
20912Do you know the girl?"
20912Do you mean the woman?"
20912Do you mean to tell me that you will not produce evidence that could prove your innocence, that you will make no attempt to defend yourself?"
20912Do you see?
20912Had they gone driving together, and had she shot him in making the circuit of the Park?
20912Has anything been heard of Stay?"
20912Have I got it right?"
20912Have you a light?"
20912Have you any other clue?"
20912Have you found your Miss Stevens?"
20912Have you seen these slips before?"
20912He could do wonderful things, could Mr. Lyne, could n''t he?
20912He had pierced the second actor in the tragedy-- a brown vitriol burn on the back of his hand reminded him of his existence-- but who was the third?
20912He nodded his head wisely, then asked, with a sudden eagerness:"Did he make you a clergyman?
20912He used to be a taxi- driver-- didn''t you know that?"
20912He''s a pretty good policeman, is n''t he?"
20912How could it be your pistol?"
20912How did you get away?"
20912How did your interview with Miss Rider go off?"
20912I am right, are n''t I?"
20912I depend entirely upon----""Upon what?"
20912I presume you''ve come to see me about the Lyne accounts?"
20912I said in astonishment,''how can I save you?''
20912I suppose you made inquiries about your revolver?"
20912I thought I made that clear to you when you were here this morning?"
20912I understand that letters of administration are to be applied for on your behalf?"
20912Is anybody suspected, sir?"
20912Is n''t she here?"
20912Is n''t that so?"
20912Is n''t this a matter for the police?
20912Is there any difference in them?
20912It''s something more than a coincidence, do n''t you think, Tarling?"
20912Lyne?"
20912Lyne?"
20912Lyne?"
20912Lyne?"
20912Milburgh may be a thief----""Did you send for me, sir?"
20912Milburgh?"
20912Milburgh?"
20912Now, Miss Rider, you''re going to be frank with me, are n''t you?"
20912Of theft?
20912On the bicycle?"
20912Rider?"
20912Rider?"
20912Suppose I left something unmistakably Chinese?
20912Suppose I went... in the dark?
20912Suppose Milburgh had committed the crime?
20912Suppose she had?
20912Suppose the doctors were wrong and Thornton Lyne was murdered at an earlier hour?
20912Suppose there had been some mistake in the time of the accident at Ashford?
20912Suppose, to hide his defalcations, he had shot his employer dead?
20912Tarling?"
20912Tarling?"
20912Tarling?"
20912Tarling?"
20912Tarling?"
20912That was locked, was it not, Tarling, when you made the discovery?"
20912That young man?"
20912The first to her mother, saying that she could not come; the second to Lyne, running:"Will you see me at my flat to- night at eleven o''clock?
20912The question is, who did?"
20912There was a little pause and then:"I suppose Lyne''s estate will go to the Crown?
20912Those sinister little squares of red paper with the Chinese characters, one of which had been found in Thornton Lyne''s pocket?
20912To extract Tarling''s revolver was an easy matter-- but why, if he had murdered Lyne, would he have left the incriminating weapon behind?
20912Was he in love with her?
20912Was his imagination playing him a trick, or had he caught the briefest glimpse of a white face peering round the corner?
20912Was it possible that she had not heard of the murder?
20912What case would they have against him if they stood him in the dock at the Old Bailey, if Odette Rider were not forthcoming to testify against him?
20912What clue?
20912What could be more wonderful than this coincidence?
20912What could he make out of this, he wondered?
20912What did that man want?"
20912What do you mean?"
20912What happened?"
20912What if Ling Chu----?
20912What is more likely than that he should use his step- daughter in order to influence Thornton Lyne to take the favourable view of his delinquencies?"
20912What is there extraordinary in that?"
20912What is wrong?"
20912What others?"
20912What would she think of it?
20912What''s this you have?"
20912When was the man last seen alive?"
20912Where are the servants?"
20912Where are you?"
20912Where had they met?
20912Whiteside, get a cab, will you?
20912Whiteside?"
20912Who could have done it?
20912Who murdered Thornton Lyne?"
20912Who was Miss Stevens, and why should she be journeying to Dover on the night of the murder?
20912Who was Mrs. Rider''s mysterious visitor?
20912Who was her father-- that mysterious father who appeared and disappeared at Hertford, and what part did he play in the crime?
20912Who was she expecting to see, wondered Tarling, and why did she check herself?
20912Whose treachery had cut short this wonderful life?
20912Why do n''t you tell me something about your father?"
20912Why do you ask?"
20912Why had this mysterious person tried to get into the house again, and for whom or what were they searching?
20912Why should Odette Rider be content to accept a servile position in Lyne''s Stores when her mother was living in luxury at Hertford?
20912Why should his coat be off, and why should the night- dress be bound round and round his body?
20912Wo n''t you sit down?"
20912Wo n''t you tell me all about it?
20912Wo n''t you tell me everything, please?"
20912Wo n''t you tell me?"
20912Would not the fact that I was morally responsible for the finances of Lyne''s Stores cause me particular unhappiness?"
20912Yet, why should he have this sign of the''Cheerful Hearts''in his pocket on the night he was murdered?"
20912You do n''t mean that, you do n''t mean that?"
20912You have not been or lived in China?
20912You know that the police attach a great deal of importance to the discovery of one of these things in the dead man''s pocket?"
20912You know them, sir?
20912You must do something, do you hear?
20912You''re a clergyman, eh?"
20912You''re going to throw up a valuable client?"
20912You''re not attached to Scotland Yard, I understand?"
20912_ He_ would n''t have had a fellow hanging round him who was mad, would he?
20912he asked, raising his eyebrows,"but, my dear good Mr. Tarling, whatever are you talking about?
20912he said under his breath,"and listen, my man; if anybody asks you whether you have seen Mr. Milburgh, you have n''t, you understand?"
20912said Tarling sarcastically,"are these intended as a loving gift from Mr. Lyne to Miss Rider?"
20912she was moaning,"what has happened to my mother?"
21904A bead-- a costly bead-- and you were not found out?
21904A business man, then?
21904A stranger''s? 21904 A woman''s, daintily shod; a woman of about the size of--""Who?
21904Again? 21904 Ah, is she the one?"
21904Am I not right?
21904And by what right did he demand this? 21904 And did she?
21904And during the time, you say, when Mrs. Ocumpaugh''s guests were assembling? 21904 And he?"
21904And how do you like it here?
21904And is that child Gwendolen? 21904 And may I ask,"he coldly continued,"how you have succeeded in connecting me with this young child''s disappearance?"
21904And she? 21904 And she?"
21904And what did you tell her?
21904And what inference can we draw from that?
21904And what?--what?
21904And you told Mrs. Ocumpaugh this?
21904And you want-- you intend, to measure those steps?
21904And you would be willing?
21904Any one else?
21904Are as unreal as the dog? 21904 Are you dissatisfied?"
21904Are you going to cross the floor?
21904Are you not a--_detective_?
21904Attracted? 21904 Blood on the ceiling of my old pavilion?
21904Both?
21904But the child is not dead? 21904 But the child?"
21904But you have not answered my questions as to where this wagon is at present and under whose care? 21904 But you have not found Gwendolen?"
21904Can you deny as well that you have been gone two days from this place? 21904 Can you see?"
21904Can you think of any other?
21904Certainly; are we not almost friends?
21904Clue to what? 21904 Clue?"
21904Could n''t Mrs. Carew tell us something about this?
21904Did I not advise her right?
21904Did n''t you recall the matter to her when you found the child missing?
21904Did we do that?
21904Did you look up?
21904Did you not know it?
21904Did you notice where the boards had been sawed?
21904Did you see this woman? 21904 Did you think-- did any one think-- that those cries came from Gwendolen?
21904Do n''t you see? 21904 Do you fear the police?"
21904Do you feel better?
21904Do you know her reasons for this?
21904Do you know that I do n''t quite like the noises which are being made up there?
21904Do you know that man?
21904Do you know this child''s parentage and condition?
21904Do you know who pasted that date upon the post?
21904Do you mean that you are my friend?
21904Do you not think Mrs. Ocumpaugh worthy some pity? 21904 Do you see that?"
21904Do you suppose she knew it?
21904Do you wish to talk to him_ here_?
21904Doctor Pool? 21904 Good news?
21904Gwendolen here?
21904Gwendolen? 21904 Harry what?
21904Harry?
21904Have I not said that I do not know? 21904 Her illness?"
21904Her servants then?
21904Here?
21904His name?
21904How could I,she asked,"when Mrs. Ocumpaugh did not close her eyes?
21904How did Mrs. Ocumpaugh seem to like that?
21904How do you do, little man? 21904 How?
21904Hurt, Aline?
21904Hurt?
21904I do not like it either, but--"What have you found now?
21904I know of one thing, but what else?
21904I mean, why did she come thus suddenly, without warning me of what I might expect? 21904 I saw Gwendolen asleep; she held a string in her hand but no candy, and if she did--""Did you examine both hands, madam?
21904I see-- and who is the woman? 21904 I want to see for myself if-- if--""If what, Jared?"
21904I want? 21904 I wonder if you will have an equally wise reply to give to my next question?"
21904If you can find her-- that is the first thing, is n''t it?
21904In a half- foot of earth, madam? 21904 In money?
21904In the disused part of the bungalow? 21904 In what direction, then?"
21904In what respect are you a messenger from Mrs. Ocumpaugh, and what makes you think I have her child in this house?
21904Is Mrs. Carew so fond of money as all that? 21904 Is it not?
21904Is one of those directed to Robert Trevitt?
21904Is she a good woman?
21904Is that your little nephew I''ve heard them tell about? 21904 Is the child quiet?
21904Is the time too short? 21904 Is this letter, as you call it, so old?"
21904It came out of Mrs. Carew''s grounds?
21904Jewels? 21904 Little Miss Graham?
21904Love?
21904Madam, do you recognize this?
21904Madam, what does this mean? 21904 Madam, what secret?
21904Mr. Rathbone, perhaps?
21904Mrs. Carew-- for it must be Mrs. Carew I am addressing-- did your little nephew cry when you first brought him to the house?
21904News?
21904No cops in the neighborhood? 21904 No farther than that?"
21904No; why should I? 21904 Nor given into Mrs. Carew''s hand such an account?"
21904Not if he brings news?
21904Nothing?
21904Now?
21904Of course, who else?
21904Oh, what is going to happen now?
21904Oh,she cried, in a tone that assured me she had not seen the dog lying in his blood at my back;"dead already?
21904One I know?
21904Or have you interested yourself in this matter purely from business reasons?
21904Shall I give him my word, Harry?
21904Shall I not go on?
21904Shall_ I_ not look up Mr. Atwater for you?
21904She has not sailed?
21904She studied-- to please_ me_? 21904 So you intend to publish my story, if I do not?"
21904Steps,she cried,"going up into that part of the building where-- where--""Will you attempt them with me?
21904That you would help me, if any help were possible, to keep my secret and-- my husband''s love?
21904Then I may go on?
21904Then there are doubts,she faltered;"doubts of its being Gwendolen?"
21904Then you do not know it?
21904Then_ you_ think she strayed down to the water?
21904This paper?
21904Was I to give this one?
21904Was he as wealthy then as now?
21904Was her love for Gwendolen sincere?
21904Was it a man''s or woman''s steps?
21904Was there a footprint left, then? 21904 Was there anything peculiar about these confections either in taste or appearance?"
21904Was-- was Mrs. Ocumpaugh very much disturbed by what she saw?
21904What are you going to do next?
21904What are you going to do?
21904What are you listening for?
21904What can you find there?
21904What did you know of Mrs. Carew before she came to----?
21904What do you mean?
21904What do you mean?
21904What do you mean?
21904What do you mean?
21904What does she mean?
21904What for? 21904 What goes on behind those shuttered windows?"
21904What have you two been doing down there?
21904What if she went in some one''s arms?
21904What is Mrs. Carew doing this morning?
21904What is it? 21904 What is it?
21904What is it?
21904What is that I hear, then?
21904What is that on the other side?
21904What is that spot, and that spot, and that? 21904 What makes you say that?
21904What makes you think it blood?
21904What need of that?
21904What relationship?
21904What sort of candy-- pardon me if I seem impertinent-- had you in your house on the Wednesday the child disappeared? 21904 What then?"
21904What will you do with it?
21904What words are those?
21904What would I think? 21904 Where did you get it?
21904Where is the child? 21904 Where then did she go?
21904Where was your old home?
21904Which Mr. Ocumpaugh? 21904 Who blundered, and what is the meaning of the conspiracy you hint at?
21904Who can detain me,she cried,"if I wish to go?"
21904Who has been here?
21904Who occupies that house?
21904Whom? 21904 Why not?"
21904Why was it ever closed up? 21904 Why, she would be a fool to care for him, unless--""Unless what?"
21904Will what we saw and what we found in the bungalow last night?
21904Will you believe that what I ask is for the best and take this envelope to her? 21904 Will you call in to see me to- morrow?"
21904With me? 21904 With thoughts of her little nephew?"
21904Would n''t you think my attention would have been caught by the sound of any one moving about here?
21904Would you like to see what that is? 21904 Would you like to?
21904Yes; Doctor Pool, whom I wish to God I had never seen-- has he told you any such lies as that? 21904 Yesterday?"
21904You can bear it?
21904You did? 21904 You do not know?"
21904You have not seen the written account of it?
21904You know the relationship?
21904You know this?
21904You know who wrote those slips?
21904You thought the child had been stolen for the reward she would bring?
21904You''re not out of the woods, is that it? 21904 You?"
21904You?
21904_ She_ beautiful?
21904''Are you a doctor?''
21904''Where were you going to take her?''
21904A conspiracy, and for what?
21904A detective of my experience outwitted by this stricken, half- dead woman whom I had trembled to see try to stand upon her feet?
21904A dream?
21904A square of impenetrable gloom confronted me at the first glance-- what might not be the result of a second?
21904Ah; is that the little boy?"
21904Aline, will you promise?"
21904All looked well in that direction; but what was the aspect of affairs in Homewood?
21904An impossibility?"
21904And what did the old gentleman have to say of your tumbling in on him from space without a''By your leave''or even an''Excuse me''?
21904And what had I done?
21904And what would the story tell me to warrant the loss of what might have proved a most valuable hour?
21904And when do you think that was?"
21904And who can penetrate a woman''s mind?
21904And why should n''t I go see?
21904Any which she could have got at or the nurse given her?"
21904Are not_ some one_ and_ the wretch_ one and the same person, and can you not give him now a name?"
21904Are you here at Mrs. Ocumpaugh''s bidding, and has she at last given up all expectation of finding her child in the river?"
21904Are you more than convinced of this now?
21904Are you quite convinced that you have news of sufficient importance to warrant the expectations you have raised in her?"
21904Are you quite sure that there is any possibility of this?
21904Are you ready to promise, Aline?"
21904Are you sure?"
21904Atwater?"
21904But how express myself?
21904But is n''t there some one else who is conscious of possessing certain claims also?
21904But perhaps you are better informed on this subject than I supposed?
21904But there is a gentleman-- one interested in the family-- a man with something to gain--""Mr. Rathbone?
21904But who are you, sir, if I may ask?
21904But who could have been here?
21904But who knows?
21904But would Mrs. Ocumpaugh do this?
21904But would he accord me an interview?
21904Ca n''t you see how anxious I must be about that-- if it should prove to be Gwendolen?"
21904Can not the child run away and be lost?
21904Can not you find him?"
21904Can you declare that she did not have this candy in one of her little hands?"
21904Can you not think of some other motive?
21904Carew?"
21904Carew?"
21904Carew?"
21904Carew?"
21904Could any one have thought that?"
21904Danced at night and--""And-- and-- what by day, what?"
21904Did I allow my triumph to betray itself?
21904Did I feel easier?
21904Did I run?
21904Did he bid you say that?"
21904Did her lips frame it, or did I see it in her eyes?
21904Did it pass out before the wagon?"
21904Did n''t you hear a carriage drive through your grounds at about the hour the alarm was first started?
21904Did n''t you see all there was to see?"
21904Did she fear her charming neighbor?
21904Did she know how much?
21904Did she wish to save her friend, or save herself, or even to save me from the result of a blind use of such tools as were the only ones afforded me?
21904Did you ever see the child about whom there has been all this coil?"
21904Did you know it?"
21904Did you not notice?"
21904Did you play the detective here?"
21904Did you see any other vehicle leave by the same gate at or before that time?"
21904Did you?"
21904Do n''t you see that I am consumed with jealousy?
21904Do n''t you see that some one has preceded us here; and that not so very long ago?
21904Do n''t you see that your conclusions are all wild-- incredible?
21904Do you know if the police had it up?"
21904Do you know so little of the impulses of a mind, bewildered as mine has been by intolerable suffering?"
21904Do you know the secret of that strangely divided room?"
21904Do you know?"
21904Do you mean proof?
21904Do you mean to publish my shame to the world?
21904Do you not believe me?
21904Do you not know of some one who wanted the child from--_love_, let us say?"
21904Do you not see that it is blood?
21904Do you think me as blind to- day to truth and honor as I was six years ago?
21904Do you want more months for dancing?"
21904Do you want to see things nearer?
21904Do you wish her confirmation of my story?
21904Do you wish to see her?
21904Do you wonder that a visit in the dead of night to a spot associated with such superstitious horrors should frighten me?"
21904Do you?"
21904Do_ you_ know what they meant by that?
21904Does it mean that?
21904Does it mean that?"
21904First, what has become of the child?"
21904God grant-- but what can any old letter have to do with the agonizing question before us?
21904Had Gwendolen Ocumpaugh by any chance worn such?
21904Had I bargained with Mrs. Ocumpaugh?
21904Had all my efforts for the last half- hour been for the purpose of entrapping her into some such avowal?
21904Had little Miss Graham''s theory no better foundation than this?
21904Had she read my inmost soul?
21904Had she the strength to stand the ordeal?
21904Had some note in his own conscience been struck by an act which, in his cooler moments, he may have looked upon as a species of sacrilege?
21904Had the storm passed over?
21904Harry Carew?"
21904Harry, will you stay with me?"
21904Has there been no alarm?"
21904Have n''t I done everything?
21904Have you by any chance the means of entrance to the bungalow?
21904Have you no idea of repentance and regeneration from sin?
21904He is your nephew, I believe?"
21904He was right; what was she doing?
21904How came you there?
21904How can I help?
21904How dare you?
21904How had it happened?
21904How shall we see?
21904How was the boy in his charge?
21904How?
21904I believe so-- oh, Mr. Trevitt,"she cried, as I rose to my feet with the corner of the rug in my hand,"what are you going to do?"
21904I did n''t ask who she was; why should I?
21904I did not see her face, it was heavily veiled, but I heard her voice; it was a lady''s voice and--""What?"
21904I let a moment of silence pass, then nonchalantly remarked:"Why is she going to Europe?"
21904I may not see you again; may I wish you a safe journey?"
21904I waited till she was calm again, then I inquired very softly:"What wretch?"
21904If taken there, why was n''t she found there?
21904If the child can be found-- you wish that?
21904If you will lift him up I will wrap him in this shawl as if he were ill. Once in New York-- are you not going to permit me?"
21904Is it-- is it good news?"
21904Is she an actress too-- Gwendolen?"
21904Is she known?
21904It was I who carried Gwendolen into that secret hole._"XXI PROVIDENCE Had I suspected this?
21904Lift your eyes to the ceiling-- over there-- at the extreme end toward the south-- do you see--_what_ do you see?"
21904Master, what is it?
21904May I tell you--"as I laid my hand upon the outer door- knob--"just how to approach her?"
21904Mr. Trevitt, yesterday saw the end of those ten days, and where is she now?
21904No spies around?"
21904Not to extort money, or why these blundering efforts to make the child appear dead?"
21904Now all might be lost unless I could arrive in time to-- do what?
21904Ocumpaugh?"
21904Ocumpaugh?"
21904Ocumpaugh?"
21904Ocumpaugh?"
21904Ocumpaugh?"
21904Ocumpaugh?"
21904Ocumpaugh?"
21904Oh, we are in a terrible strait, we two, unless you will stand by us like a friend-- and you will do that, wo n''t you, Mr. Trevitt?
21904One of them detective fellows?
21904Or do n''t you know?"
21904Or has the great lady bargained with you?--Um?
21904Or rather, to what place was she taken?
21904Or will you stay here, in the darkness?"
21904Order the work stopped?
21904Perhaps you know this?"
21904Rathbone?"
21904Shall I replace it and press back the nails?"
21904Shall we cross the floor?"
21904She did not sleep-- Oh, sir, what is it?"
21904Should I tell her that Doctor Pool was dead?
21904So all is lost?"
21904Some marauder, then, or a detective, like myself?
21904That has failed, has it not?
21904That she was carried out through my grounds?
21904That you feel demonstrated-- or do n''t you?"
21904The cars are coming; do n''t you hear the whistle?
21904The child?
21904The next heir, eh?"
21904The question which kept down my elation was this: Would I be the first man to get there?
21904The reply was impetuous:"How else could she have been spirited away so quickly?
21904Then why do n''t we find her, or-- or her little innocent body?"
21904There was no quarrel, no fight; only hilarity--""Where did the dog come from?"
21904They call it--""Well, well, what do they call it?"
21904To reveal to_ me_, who had no claim upon her but that of friendship, a secret which had not been given to the police?
21904Trevitt?"
21904Trevitt?"
21904Um?"
21904Want your money?
21904Was Gwendolen very fond of sweets?"
21904Was I following the false light of a will- o''-the- wisp?
21904Was I held by something in her manner?
21904Was I playing with her curiosity or anxieties or whatever it was that affected her?
21904Was I wrong in letting her slip from my surveillance?
21904Was anything amiss?
21904Was fate to be appeased by this effort at forgetfulness?
21904Was his accent in uttering this simple phrase peculiar?
21904Was it a totally unbroken partition?
21904Was it a woman''s plea, conscious of the tenderness she appealed to, or only a child''s instinctive grasping after life, just life?
21904Was it affection for her friend which made Mrs. Carew''s always rich voice so very mellow?
21904Was it one she was ready to impart?
21904Was it she who called?
21904Was it so?
21904Was it suicide on the doctor''s part or just pure accident?
21904Was she a true woman or what my fears pictured her-- the scheming, unprincipled abductor of Gwendolen Ocumpaugh?
21904Was she as much moved-- or possibly more moved than myself?
21904Was she in delirium?
21904Was she of common blood, common manners?
21904Was that Miss Graham coming?
21904Was that necklace one bead short?
21904Was the game deeper than I thought?
21904Was this on account of the state of her nerves or mine?
21904What are we about to discover?
21904What can it be?"
21904What can your little wife be doing?
21904What did I propose to myself?
21904What did it all mean?
21904What did it mean?
21904What did she mean by that"Happy"?
21904What did she think of it?"
21904What did you say your name is?"
21904What do you know of my friends?"
21904What do you know of that scrap of paper, hidden from the whole world from the moment I first read it till this hour of full confession?
21904What does it mean, Jupp?
21904What excuse did he give you?
21904What had occurred on that night of innocent enjoyment to disturb or alarm him?
21904What have these miserable lumps of sugar to do with Gwendolen?"
21904What is it?
21904What is it?"
21904What kind of place do you make it out to be; and is there anything here you-- do-- not-- want-- to see?"
21904What made him quake-- he who knew of this dog only by hearsay-- and what, in spite of this fear, gave him such resolution?
21904What was I encouraging this young girl to do?
21904What was I to think of her?
21904What was I to think of myself?
21904What was in the man''s mind?
21904What?"
21904Wheeling about, I threw this question back:"If that is a boy and a stranger, where is Gwendolen Ocumpaugh?"
21904When?
21904Whence, then, did they come into Mrs. Carew''s possession?
21904Where could it come from?
21904Where did you first come upon the wagon which you followed so many hours in the belief that it held Gwendolen Ocumpaugh?"
21904Where shall we look for his child?
21904Where was the wagon found?
21904Who could say she was cold now?
21904Who could see anything but a feeling heart in this woman, beautiful beyond all precedent in her passion and her woe?
21904Who could wonder?
21904Who has dared to send me this?''
21904Who is with it?
21904Who would want to be here?
21904Whose?
21904Why did I not make my bow and go?
21904Why did my muscles tighten instead of relax?
21904Why did they not move me?
21904Why do you play with my anguish?"
21904Why should it?
21904Why should n''t I listen for it?
21904Why, sir, why do you ask?
21904Why, what is the matter?"
21904Why?"
21904Why?"
21904Will you let me try?"
21904Will you oblige me by following me there?"
21904Will you trust yourself to me?
21904Wo n''t Mr. Atwater do?
21904Would I confess the truth to him myself?
21904Would I discover in the columns any hint of the preceding day''s events in Yonkers, which, if known, must for ever upset the wagon theory?
21904Would I find his attitude changed?
21904Would I meet her at the pavilion?
21904Would his follow?
21904Would no more flashes come?
21904Would she embrace this opportunity to part with it when it came?
21904Would we have noticed since?
21904Would you leave her to bear the full burden of this deception alone?

21904XXIII A CORAL BEAD"What''s that?"

21904Years ago?"
21904Yet if I came to make her better?
21904You are convinced of that now, are you not?"
21904You are going back to the bungalow?"
21904You do n''t believe-- you surely can not believe--""That Mrs. Carew is a charming woman?
21904You do not know?"
21904You know that, do you not, madam?"
21904You know them?
21904You look as if-- as if--""I had come upon a clue to Gwendolen?
21904You loved her?"
21904You will carry that up to her?"
21904You will go with me?"
21904You wo n''t be long, will you?"
21904You would have thought-- But why all this talk about Mrs. Carew?
21904You, a messenger from Mrs. Ocumpaugh?
21904_"What do you know?
21904and not once Gwendolen?
21904and were the wheels she heard only those of Mrs. Carew''s departing carriage?
21904are you coming?"

21904but do you think I shall stop because of that?"

21904how can you say that?
21904she moaned,"Gwendolen here?"
21904this babe I had loved as my own flesh and blood!--in the river where she had been forbidden to go?"
21904what is that the man in the boat is holding up?
21904who are these?"
19403A bell?
19403A reporter? 19403 A tactful way of asking for my alibi, eh?"
19403All winded, poor thing?
19403All-- over-- isn''t it? 19403 Also, how long since girls dressed their hair in a French roll?"
19403Am I early?
19403An actress, you say?
19403And Flora Hackett----?
19403And Janet Raymond?
19403And Polly played anagrams with Drake?
19403And Ralph has acquired a set of slave chains?
19403And are you going to reciprocate by wiring him about the$ 10,000 Nita banked here?
19403And did Mrs. Selim pay her rent promptly?
19403And did you notice the window screen?
19403And guests run in and out, having the freedom of the place?
19403And her hand-- did it feel cold?
19403And how long was_ he_ gone from the porch?
19403And how''s_ this_, partner?... 19403 And hurry it up, will you, please?"
19403And just what were you warning her against?
19403And just when did you first see her-- after she was dead?
19403And just when had you seen Miss Beale last, before late this afternoon?
19403And just where was that?
19403And may I ask, before we go on, if you made your entrance at this time, and the facts of your arrival?
19403And saw no one running away across the meadows?
19403And the rest of you?
19403And the silencer, Judge Marshall?
19403And then--?
19403And what do you think?
19403And what''s that, Mr. Smart Aleck?
19403And when did you last see your gun and silencer?
19403And when she was powdering her face? 19403 And which one of your six suspects have you picked on?"
19403And why not?
19403And would she have asked_ him_ to rig up a bell from her bedroom to mine, if it was_ him_ she was afraid of?
19403And yesterday-- Friday?
19403And yet you did not enter the living room to greet your hostess?
19403And you never saw her again?
19403And you saw Mrs. Selim place the gun and the silencer in the drawer?
19403And you were the only one to touch her, Sprague?
19403And you''ll tell me now? 19403 Any news from Sanderson?"
19403Are their files available?
19403Are they to follow the whole gang clear out to the Selim house?
19403Are you going to let me do what she told me to, in that note?... 19403 Are you prepared to swear Sprague had time to do nothing but go up to the bedroom and get his bag?"
19403Are you sure?... 19403 Ashamed of me, Penny?...
19403At a distance of from ten to fifteen feet?
19403At what time?
19403Bawdy?
19403Before I answer that question, will you let me do a little theorizing?
19403Before or after Nita came into this room?
19403Belle, tell me the truth, and I shall not be angry: did you put that red book on that shelf?
19403Better let this bunch go for the present, had n''t we, boy?
19403Bigger and Better Babies Movements, and Homes for Fallen Girls, and Little Theater Movements?
19403Blackmail?
19403But I let her bring along everything she said she needed to lay the body out in.... Was that right?
19403But just so I get to New York-- By the way, young woman, what_ were_ you laughing at so heartily? 19403 But may I remind you that it is_ not_ bridge to lead from a Queen?...
19403But they was somethin''else that struck me as a little funny, when I come to think of it--"Well?
19403But what in the world do you mean?
19403But where''s the gun?
19403But why are you telling_ me_?... 19403 But why did my unknown friend risk arrest as a burglar if he wanted to give me an honest tip?"
19403But why is the idea so amusing? 19403 But you do know she was living in fear of her life, do n''t you?"
19403But--_how_----?
19403By the way, I suppose you''ve sent for everyone who was here?
19403By the way, Lydia, did Mrs. Selim have a pistol in her possession at any time during the past week?
19403By the way, Miles, you saw Ralph Hammond when you called here this morning, did n''t you?
19403By the way, how did Nita happen to get the job here of directing the Easter plays?
19403Ca n''t we forget it, honey?... 19403 Can I take it with me-- and the switches she had made out of her curls?"
19403Can you tell me when the original Pierre model was bought, and when this copy was made and sold?
19403Can_ you_ stop, Penny?
19403Dead?
19403Did I say_ ingenious_?
19403Did Nita let him persuade her to go into the blackmail business, in order to hold his wandering, mercenary affections?... 19403 Did Nita seem strange-- troubled, excited?
19403Did Sprague make a quick exit?
19403Did Sprague spend the evening?
19403Did Tracey and Flora both step outside to see their guests into their cars?
19403Did any of you return to the room where the gun was kept?
19403Did any or all of you touch the body, or things in the room?
19403Did anyone know Nita had taken this precaution to protect herself?
19403Did she tell you all about her marriage and divorce?
19403Did you find any person concealed upon the premises, that is, within the house itself, or in the garage or on the grounds?
19403Did you find on the premises any clue which you consider of importance to this jury?
19403Did you find out anything new when you questioned the crowd this morning?
19403Did you find the gun and silencer?
19403Did you hear him come down?
19403Did you hear his name?
19403Did you hear the kitchen bell at all?
19403Did you meet her husband, Miss Hart?
19403Did you observe the others?
19403Did you or your men discover the weapon with which the deceased was killed?
19403Did you question all persons in the house at the time of the crime, as to whether or not a shot had been heard?
19403Did you-- er, see anyone?
19403Did your mistress ever tell you about the one time she wore the dress?
19403Do n''t you see? 19403 Do n''t_ I_ know he could n''t have done it?
19403Do you know where Mr. Crain is now?
19403Do you know whether the jewelry was kept in the house or in a safe deposit box?
19403Do you know who went_ alone_ to the guest closet?
19403Do you know''The Beggar''s Opera''?
19403Do you know, Miss Beale, why Ralph Hammond did not keep_ his_ engagement with Mrs. Selim this afternoon? 19403 Do you mean-- Nita Selim''s--_song_?"
19403Do you recognize this handwriting, Lydia?
19403Do you think Flora was really in love with Tracey?
19403Do you think he''d tell?
19403Do you think her first excitement was over seeing Judge Marshall among the players?
19403Do you think it was her wedding dress, Lydia?
19403Do you want all the servants brought here, too?
19403Does anyone know the exact time Mrs. Selim left the room, when she became dummy?
19403Does he admit it?
19403Fairly open- and- shut, is n''t it?
19403Flora Hackett-- Mrs. Tracey Miles she is now-- didn''t happen to tell you the nice little fuss_ she_ kicked up when she was here, did she? 19403 For instance?"
19403Got any real proof that it was Sprague who stayed here and not the Hammond boy?
19403Had n''t you better take a nap, Mother?
19403Had she refused before?
19403Hammond?
19403Hammond?
19403Have n''t you been reading the papers?
19403Have you also measured the height of that window sill from the floor?
19403Have you anything to add?
19403Have you been engaged long, Mr. Hammond-- you and Miss Beale?
19403Have you forgotten the secret shelf behind the guest closet in the Selim house?
19403Have you gone over to the enemy, Cap''n?
19403Have you made any calculations as to the place and distance at which the shot was fired?
19403Have you seen Mr. Crain recently?... 19403 Have you seen him since then-- January it was, I believe?"
19403Have your men found the gun?
19403Her desk?
19403Him?
19403Hotel?
19403How about the guest closet and the cars?
19403How am I going to know whose fingerprints they are till we get hold of Sprague?
19403How and when did you arrive?
19403How can you think of food now?
19403How did Mrs. Selim get out to Breakaway Inn, if she left her own car with the maid?
19403How did he connect the lamp cord with the dining room bell?
19403How did it happen, Lydia?
19403How did she get in?
19403How did you know?
19403How do you know he saw them?
19403How do you know she was powdering her face, not looking for something in a drawer?
19403How do you make that out, Bonnie?
19403How he gon na get in hyer widout no key? 19403 How long has he been dead, doctor?"
19403How many suckers-- I mean, how many gentlemen with moderate incomes actually built in Primrose Meadows?
19403How many will you need?
19403How old would you say Mrs. Selim was?
19403I asked you--she gasped, her single eye glaring at him,"who dared say Nita burned me?"
19403I ca n''t act for two cents-- can I, Peter darling?... 19403 I can get my trumps out now, ca n''t I, Hugo?"
19403I come to the inquest to give some information, sir, but it was adjourned so quick I did n''t have time--"Who are you?
19403I do n''t have to go with the rest, do I?
19403I had heard of her only as director of the Forsyte School plays.... What shows was she in?
19403I have a message for him from Penny-- if you should happen to see him again----"Why_ should_ I see him again?
19403I hope so, too, Mr. Dunlap.... By the way, you are president of the Chamber of Commerce, are n''t you?
19403I presume your basement room has a window looking out upon the back garden?
19403I said,''Of course, Ralph.... Where_ have_ you been?...'' 19403 I say, that''s funny, is n''t it?...
19403I should n''t let you,Penny answered frankly,"but I will.... Mrs. Selim, Mr. Dundee.... And Mrs. Dunlap, Mr. Dundee.... How are you, Lois?
19403I suppose Flora has told all of you about it?... 19403 I suppose you have read_ The Hamilton Morning News_ today, Lydia?"
19403I understand you were Mrs. Selim''s landlord.... May I ask how much rent she paid?
19403I was still mixing-- no, I''d begun to shake the cocktails-- when I heard a scream--"Whose scream?
19403I''d like to know, Carolyn, if it is n''t one of your most cherished secrets,_ what_ possessed you to double in the first place?
19403I''ll telephone in about an hour to see if anything has come up.... By the way, how do I get to the Dunlap house?
19403I''m''attached''to the district attorney''s office, too, are n''t I?
19403I''ve heard of people rigging up contrivances--"Which make the gun and the silencer disappear by magic?
19403If you''re accusing me of-- of--"Of killing Nita Selim?
19403Including_ your_ young man?
19403Is Miss Hart appearing in a play now?
19403Is Nita very small?
19403Is that all, Rawlins?
19403Is that so?
19403Is that the message, sir?
19403Is that true?
19403Is this Mrs. Peter Dunlap a deep- bosomed club woman, who starts Movements?
19403Is this the order of your arrival?
19403It does n''t look exactly as if Sprague were afraid of anyone_ outside of this house_ last night, does it?
19403It felt horrible-- being in there with-- with_ her_--all alone--"But near the room? 19403 It''s waterproof, ai n''t it?
19403January?
19403John Gay-- eighteenth century, is n''t it?... 19403 Judge Marshall, how many keys are there to the cupboard drawer in which your gun and silencer were kept?"
19403Just what did you see and hear?
19403Just what do you mean, Dundee?
19403Just when did you change your mind about Mrs. Selim''s luncheon party at Breakaway Inn, Miss Beale?
19403Kill her?... 19403 Lydia''s due here within half an hour, and you do n''t want to miss her, do you?"
19403Lydia, who was the man over whom your mistress wanted to commit suicide?
19403Lydia, will you tell me what engagements Mrs. Selim had this last week?
19403Lydia, your mistress had been married, or was still married, was n''t she?
19403May I have that paper, chief?... 19403 May I see those photographs, please?"
19403May I take these photographs?... 19403 Me?...
19403Miss Crain, will you tell the story, beginning with the moment I left you and Mrs. Dunlap and Mrs. Selim today?
19403Mrs. Dunlap, will you please tell me just how you persuaded Mrs. Selim to come to Hamilton-- so far from Broadway?
19403No chance that these fingerprint photographs were_ reversed_ when the prints were made?
19403No one offered you a lift?
19403Not one of them, sir--"After Mrs. Selim''s departure last Sunday, did your other guests remain for any length of time?
19403Not that it will do any good.... And what about that maid-- that Carr woman? 19403 Now that you are no longer looking for a New York gunman, I suppose you have plenty of plainclothesmen at your disposal?"
19403Now will you excuse me?
19403Now will you please tell me, if you know, whether all those invited to both the bridge party and the cocktail party are here?
19403Now, doctor, from your calculations, would it be possible for a man crouching in the open window to fire a shot along the path you have calculated?
19403Of course you all rushed in when Mrs. Marshall screamed?
19403Oh, it''s Lydia Carr, Captain Strawn? 19403 Perhaps it is in your handbag?"
19403Please, Mr. Dundee, wo n''t you detain us as short a time as possible?
19403Pretty near through, boy?
19403Ran away?
19403Satisfied?
19403Sh- h- h!--Have they found Ralph?
19403She is n''t quite used to it yet, but none of_ us_ mind--"You were burned recently, Lydia?
19403She must have been a beautiful girl, and she was certainly rich enough to get any man she wanted--"You would think so, would n''t you?
19403She-- she always had cool hands--"What did you do, Judge Marshall?
19403Since you''re from Hamilton, and are investigating the murder, you have undoubtedly met little Penelope Crain?
19403So all the men in your crowd have fallen for Nita Selim, have they?
19403So every last one of you folks had a good deal of this sort of practice, I take it?
19403So you kept the silencer as a curiosity, Judge Marshall?
19403So you met Roger Crain?
19403So you think Sprague killed her because she was through with him?
19403So you were just having a bit of fun with your wife, so far as Mrs. Selim was concerned?
19403Sort of forgot about her, did n''t you?
19403Sprague''s hat?
19403Sprague? 19403 Sprague?"
19403Tell me honestly: do you think Tracey Miles loves Flora enough to do that for her?
19403That rather brings it home to my crowd-- doesn''t it?... 19403 The''lovely Nita''?"
19403Then I can have all her pretty clothes to keep always?
19403Then do you know, Miss Hart, whether Nita got married during the winter?
19403Then it was not to discuss Ralph Hammond and his-- affairs, that you beckoned Miss Beale to meet you in the solarium upon your arrival?
19403Then when Hinson, your butler, looked for them, he found the drawer unlocked?
19403Then you did n''t know that Mrs. Dunlap had already arranged to meet Mrs. Selim downtown this morning and to take her to the Inn?
19403Then you were pretending to be asleep when I entered your room?
19403Then you''ll have Carraway with his camera at my office in about an hour?
19403Then--_you_ do n''t think she was in love with Ralph?
19403There''s just one little thing----"What do you mean?
19403They want--_me_?
19403This is Juanita Leigh, is n''t it?... 19403 This is a telegram Captain Strawn received this afternoon from the city editor of The New York Evening Press.... Can you hear me?...
19403Three?
19403Thursday night?
19403To me?
19403Took your time, did n''t you, Bonnie?
19403Unusual?
19403Was Sprague----?
19403Was it Dexter Sprague, Lydia?
19403Was it because she was n''t sure she was in love with you?
19403Was she afraid of Dexter Sprague?
19403Was the Selim woman connected with this school, really?... 19403 Was there anything unusual in the conversation-- anything like a quarrel?"
19403Well, I admit we were all pretty hungry, in spite of-- well, of course we were all fond of Nita, but--"What about Lydia?
19403Well, of course, since Nita could n''t put the lid back on, it was still playing.... What was the tune, honey?
19403Well, that puts the lid on it, do n''t it?
19403Well, what do you want now?
19403Well-- what do_ you_ think?
19403Well? 19403 Well?"
19403Were you with her much?
19403What about Janet Raymond? 19403 What about the proofs you''re holding back?"
19403What about-- Nita?
19403What are you driving at, boy?
19403What are_ you_ doing back here, young woman?
19403What did Drake do then? 19403 What do you mean?"
19403What do you mean?
19403What do you mean?
19403What do you mean?
19403What do you mean?.... 19403 What do you say?...
19403What do you want now?... 19403 What ghastly nonsense is this, Dundee?"
19403What happened?
19403What have you got there-- a dance program?
19403What if Nita had not asked him to mix cocktails or had not gone to powder her face?
19403What''s happened?
19403What''s the other explanation?
19403What''s your hurry, child?
19403When did Flora Hackett kick up her little fuss?
19403When did he become her-- lover, Lydia?
19403When did she tell you of her marriage-- that is, when-- in relation to the date of the wedding itself?
19403When did the mistake occur?
19403When did you withdraw the guard from the Selim house?
19403When do you want them to get on the job?
19403Where did you find the vise?
19403Where did you go to get drunk, Ralph?
19403Where do I come in?
19403Where is the maid now, Captain Strawn?
19403Where is this room you call the trophy room?
19403Where shall we begin?
19403Where was I?... 19403 Where were the rest of you--_exactly_ where, I mean?"
19403Where were you during the fifteen minutes or so before your mistress was shot, Lydia?
19403Where''s Nita-- and everybody? 19403 Where''s everybody?"
19403Who says he was her lover? 19403 Who was Mrs. Selim''s dinner partner?"
19403Who was it-- someone she''d known in New York, or somebody in Hamilton?
19403Who was on the porch, Penny?
19403Who were partners, and just when was it finished?
19403Who were these persons?
19403Why could n''t he give the poor girl a few days more?
19403Why did n''t you tell me about this''Swallow- tail Sammy''?
19403Why did n''t you tell me, Lydia? 19403 Why did you drag poor Ralph away from his dinner here today?"
19403Why do n''t you tell him how funny Nita acted?
19403Why not let us suppose that Tracey himself killed Sprague to protect his wife, not only from scandal, but from a charge of murder?
19403Why not simply telephone Judge Marshall and ask him where and what it is?
19403Why not simply tell us, Karen, that the rest of the trumps are in your own hand?
19403Why, Lydia?
19403Why?
19403Will she?
19403Will you please go on, Pen-- Miss Crain?
19403Will you take them back into the living room and put them under Sergeant Turner''s charge for a while? 19403 Will you tell me what she said?"
19403Wo n''t Nita be glad?
19403Would she have asked him to stay all night if she''d been afraid of_ him_?
19403Yeah?
19403Yes, I know.... And you found layers of white ashes, which you took particular pains to clean out?
19403Yes, all of us-- except Mr. Sprague and-- Penny, my dear, did you join us at all?
19403Yes?
19403Yes?
19403Yes?
19403Yes?
19403You admit that this note, signed by what I take to be your''pet name,''was written by your hand, Sprague?
19403You are Lydia?
19403You are inquisitive, are n''t you?... 19403 You are n''t a reporter, are you?"
19403You came directly from the road into the house, Judge Marshall?
19403You came into the room?
19403You found that Dexter Sprague was staying there, was using the bedroom that used to be mine-- didn''t you?
19403You got back, lak de papers said you would, didn''yuh? 19403 You have some information you believe may be valuable, Judge?"
19403You knew Mrs. Selim before her arrival in Hamilton with Mrs. Dunlap, I believe.... Just when and where did you meet her?
19403You know how slap- em- on- the- back Tracey always is?
19403You mean it''s a musical box?
19403You mean something happened when you were at Nita''s house yesterday morning?
19403You mean, sir, did anyone see_ me_?
19403You mean-- one of that gang of society folks in there?
19403You mean--?
19403You never liked the poor girl, were never just to her--"Well, it looks as if my hunch was correct, does n''t it?
19403You never saw it before?
19403You remember me?
19403You remember that Janet Raymond was on the front porch_ watching for Sprague_, while the''death hand of bridge''was being played?... 19403 You say she used her married name''when she felt like it....''What do you mean by that, Lydia?"
19403You say that Mrs. Selim accepted your proposal_ after_ she saw these photographs?
19403You say you thought this letter to Mrs. Selim had been written by your husband?
19403You understand, do n''t you, Dundee?
19403You want to borrow my name and my kid sister?
19403You were a close friend of Mrs. Selim''s perhaps?
19403You were not required to be on duty for the party?
19403You were the second arrival, then?
19403You wo n''t put it in the papers, will you?
19403You''ll stick to that-- being friends, I mean, no matter what happens, wo n''t you, Penny?
19403You''re getting very-- affectionate, are n''t you?
19403You''re going, of course?
19403You''re not going to make us play that awful''death hand''again, are you?
19403You''re sort of mixed up, are n''t you, Flora? 19403 You''re sure he wore no hat that afternoon?
19403You''re sure there can have been no mistake?
19403You''re the district attorney, ai n''t you, sir?
19403You''re the man from the district attorney''s office?
19403You''re working on poor Nita''s murder?
19403You''ve made it very plain that any one of us here, except the Sprague man, could have stolen Hugo''s gun and silencer.... Has the gun been found?
19403Your decision to lunch with your fiancà © and his brother was quite a sudden one?
19403Your home is a popular rendezvous for your intimates, is it not?
19403Your name?
19403Your target practice was a Sunday morning diversion, then, Judge Marshall?
19403Your warning--?
19403_ Attack_, Judge?
19403_ Crazy?_Dundee was genuinely amazed, contrite.
19403_ Do you want to kill my wife, too?_he panted, his usually florid face the color of putty.
19403_ Him?_Lydia was curiously resentful.
19403_ May_ I meet him?
19403_ What?_exclaimed Bonnie Dundee.
19403_ Why the shelf?_he asked himself again.
19403_ With her much?..._ I should say I was!
19403''How''s tricks?''
19403''Sides, he''d a- tol''me if''n----""Belle, how many times must I ask you not to misplace my things?"
19403After all, who had better right than he to open it?
19403All finished, Carraway?...
19403And I have only myself to blame--""What do you mean?"
19403And Peter and the brats?"
19403And if it had been Judge Marshall whom she had come to Hamilton to blackmail would Nita not have guarded her tongue before Lois?
19403And just after entering the room, blithely singing a Broadway hit?"
19403And remember that I told you that you''d know some time why I kept it?
19403And the icy dignity with which he greeted poor Sprague--""_ Poor_ Sprague?"
19403And this bed jacket?
19403And what easier than to retrieve the weapon after permission had been granted to all to return to their homes?
19403And who had had so good an opportunity as Lydia Carr to dispose of the weapon?
19403And why had Clive Hammond failed to enter and greet his hostess first?
19403And why had it taken him from 5:10 to approximately 5:33 to walk a mile or less?
19403And will you take my place, Drake?...
19403And you walked the quarter of a mile to this house?"
19403And you were n''t going to tell me--"Was there_ real_ jealousy now, or just pretense on Flora''s part?
19403And-- and-- there she was-- all bowed over her dressing- table, and she-- she was-- was--""She was dead when you reached her?"
19403And_ he_ said, in that coaxing, teasing voice of his that I know so well:''Peeved, Penny?...
19403Anything new?...
19403At last, speaking against a lump in his throat, he broke in on the desolate sobbing of Nita''s maid:"Lydia, how old was your mistress?"
19403Awfully glad I caught you before you left.... Is poor Lydia still here?"
19403Besides, how could I know they would have a chance for cross- ruffing in_ both_ Clubs and Diamonds?
19403But I guess_ you_ are convinced at last?"
19403But all the time that awful tune was going on and on--""Tune?"
19403But do take care of yourself, and by that I mean do n''t work yourself to death.... Any messages for anyone in New York?"
19403But he controlled his excitement, asked his next question casually:"Did she show particular interest in any other player?"
19403But how did Judge Marshall know of its existence?"
19403But not a soul knew it except me--""And will you tell me how old the royal blue velvet dress is?"
19403But now I think back, her voice sounded queer.... Maybe she_ was_ crying, but I do n''t know--""And this morning?"
19403But of whom had she really been thinking?
19403But since Nita came to town--""Was Nita in love with Ralph?"
19403But that ai n''t what I was gittin''at, sir--""Well, what_ are_ you getting at?"
19403But that''s a pretty thin explanation, do n''t you think,''my dear Watson''?...
19403But what was the_ real_ truth?
19403But what''s the matter with you this morning, young woman?
19403But who?
19403But why do you want to see Lois?"
19403But why had the door been left ajar?
19403But you want to know when the dress was sold to her, do n''t you?"
19403But-- wasn''t it, in reality, no matter what coercion Nita had used in getting the money, exactly that?...
19403But-- who?
19403But--_had he hesitated long enough to pick up a Maxim silencer and a blunt- nosed automatic_?
19403But--_how_ had the gun been fired from the lamp?
19403CHAPTER EIGHT"Then why ask me?"
19403CHAPTER TWENTY- FOUR"What are you laughing at?"
19403Ca n''t you take my word for it that-- I''m cured now-- forever?"
19403Can you go on?
19403Can you hear me plainly?...
19403Captain Strawn rose and was permitted to question the witness:"Dr. Price, that blueprint shows that the bedroom is fifteen feet in width, do n''t it?"
19403Chicago?...
19403Did anyone ever notice the back walls of closets?
19403Did n''t anyone go to look for him after the hand was played?"
19403Did she hope to leave fingerprints now which would account for fingerprints she had already left upon it?
19403Did she look as if she''d been crying?"
19403Did you keep individual score, as is customary in contract?--or were you playing auction?"
19403Did you notice him when he left after I had dismissed you all?"
19403Did you see this?"
19403Divorced wives were not usually so reticent.... Had Nita planned to commit the crime of bigamy?
19403Do n''t you see it, boy?
19403Do you hear?--_I do n''t flirt with anybody!_""Flirt with you, you funny little Penny?"
19403Do you know Ralph Hammond, by any chance?"
19403Drake?"
19403Drake?"
19403Drake?"
19403Drake?--after eighteen holes of golf on a warm day?"
19403Dundee.... What are the caliber and type of bullet that killed Nita Selim?...
19403Dundee?"
19403Dundee?"
19403Dundee?...
19403Dunlap?"
19403Electrically?
19403Feeling better now, honey?
19403Flora tried to act the lady hostess, but Peter got up from his bridge table and said in tones even icier than Tracey''s:''Will you excuse me, Flora?
19403Forgive her?
19403Going to make a movie of the founding, growth and beauties of the city of Hamilton, are n''t you?"
19403Got a pencil?...
19403Had Nita''s private detective journeyed out to_ Hamilton_ years ago in a fruitless attempt to locate"Matthew Selim?"
19403Had Penny Crain once enjoyed this delightful little sitting- room, with its tiny balcony built out upon the sloping roof?...
19403Had he made a fool of himself, or was he right in his suspicion that Hugo Marshall had given Nita Selim this cottage rent free?
19403Had n''t Captain Strawn taunted him not too good- naturedly about his ability to get along without the younger man''s help?
19403Had n''t she been wearing sensible, Cuban- heeled Oxfords all other days of this first week of his"attachment"to the district attorney''s office?...
19403Had she been moved by an impulse to give a clue to the identity of the person of whom she stood in fear, but had stifled the impulse?
19403Hammond?"
19403Has either of them been in your home during this past week?"
19403He come whenever she''d let him.... Monday night?...
19403He paused a long half- minute, then asked curtly:"I am to conclude that no one has anything at all to volunteer?"
19403He rose, saying he had to go telephone for a taxi, and passed from the porch into the living room--""Where is the telephone?"
19403How Karen keeps on looking so blissfully happy--""Karen?"
19403How is your mother?...
19403How long was Polly Beale gone on this walk of hers?"
19403How much did I-- did Nita and I make, Penny?"
19403How''s tricks?"
19403How''s tricks?...''
19403I admit it, and when I saw one of our own-- I mean, one of Tracey''s business envelopes--""You made up your mind to steal it and read it?"
19403I believe the technical term is''frisking,''is n''t it?...
19403I confess now I was wild with happiness--""Why did she refuse you before?"
19403I did n''t like Nita Selim, and I do n''t give a damn about her being murdered, except that my wife''s name is in all the papers.... Any questions?"
19403I had said to Miss Raymond:''You observed Mr. Sprague toiling down the rutty road, hot and weary, but romantic in the sunset?''
19403I had to be free actually, before I could ask you.... You_ will_ marry me, wo n''t you, Penny honey?...
19403I happen to know from having met her today--""_ You_ met her today?"
19403I met him once on a party.... Is he really a_ judge_?''
19403I sound like a Laura Jean Libbey hero, do n''t I?...
19403I telephoned home to ask about my children, and then I came in here to-- to do my face over--""You did n''t hear your husband arrive?"
19403I thought if you could bid at all that my two doubletons--""Oh, what''s the use?"
19403I told you all I know--""Lydia, why did n''t you tell me that it was your mistress, Mrs. Selim who did-- that?"
19403I''m going to try to make Margaret and Penny happy, make them and the town forget that I disgraced them----""Through?"
19403I''m not a very patient person.... Are they going to arrest Ralph when they find him?
19403I''ve never seen her so excited since--""What did she say?"
19403If her murder had been accomplished by mechanical means, how had it been done?
19403If not, when and where and how had she secured a divorce?
19403If the murderer was so ingenious in this case, might he not have been equally clever in planning and executing the murder of Nita Leigh Selim?
19403In the main hall or in the little foyer where the telephone is?"
19403In the new theory, what place did the"bang or bump"have-- that noise which Flora Miles, concealed in Nita''s closet, had dimly heard?
19403Informal, in spite of the dead woman''s obvious effort to couch it in legal phraseology.... Was Lydia''s frenzy assumed?
19403Is it half past five already?
19403Is n''t that the cocktail shaker I hear?"
19403It is my habit to keep the pistol and the silencer in a drawer in a little corner cupboard--""Locked, up?"
19403It was like her, he thought with a slight grin, to address him as one man to another...."Yes, Miss Beale?"
19403It was my own fault, trying to take the glass away from her, like I did--""She flung the acid into your face?"
19403It''s about-- Ralph, I suppose?"
19403It''s one of his affectations not to wear a hat--""Is it?"
19403It''s_ my_ face and_ my_ life, ai n''t it?
19403Just when was Mrs. Selim murdered?"
19403Marshall?...
19403May I-- have a-- drink?"
19403Miles away from the porch?"
19403Miles herself?
19403Miles now?"
19403Miles want to take Lydia home with you?"
19403Miles when he dropped in on her this morning?"
19403Miles with you?"
19403Miles''tally?
19403Miles, about that noise you heard.... Did you hear anyone enter the room?...
19403Miles, do you know how some of your business stationery got into Sprague''s hands?"
19403Miles, why did n''t you tell me in the first place that you were_ in this room_ when Nita Selim was shot?"
19403Miles, will you please leave the room, and return exactly when you did return-- or as nearly so as you can remember?"
19403Miles, will you, pretending that you are Nita Selim, go to powder your face at Mrs. Selim''s dressing- table?"
19403Miles,"Dundee interrupted with sudden harshness,"are you_ sure_ you did not know that that letter was from Dexter Sprague before you looked for it?"
19403Miles?
19403Miles?"
19403Miles?"
19403Miles?"
19403Miles?"
19403Miles?"
19403Miles?"
19403Miles?"
19403Miles?"
19403Miles?"
19403Miles?...
19403Moreover,_ how_ had he entered the solarium?
19403Mrs. Dunlap said she''d rung twice, and I said I was sorry--""Lydia, did you go into your mistress''bedroom before or after you answered that bell?"
19403Musical comedy programs for the last year carry her name only once, in the list of"Ladies of the Ensemble"of the revue,"What of it?"
19403Never mind the comedy about''How''s tricks?''
19403Nita and Karen--""Just a minute, Penny.... Did any of you, then or later, until Mrs. Marshall discovered the tragedy, go into Mrs. Selim''s bedroom?"
19403Nita, Lois-- do you mind if I use the names I am most accustomed to?...
19403No?...
19403Not so dumb, am I, Bonnie- boy?
19403Nothing here?...
19403Or do you know?"
19403Or had she simply been withdrawing from contamination with a"flat- foot"?...
19403Or rather, his promise to appear for cocktails and to be Miss Crain''s partner for the rest of the evening-- dinner and dancing at the Country Club?"
19403Or shall I order you a highball?"
19403Or--_was Nita herself paying blackmail on a small scale_?
19403Our dressing- tables were side by side, and as she slipped out of her dress----""This dress?"
19403Penny gasped, then, controlling her horror, she asked with what sounded like real curiosity,"Then what-- happened, Ralph?
19403Penny, or rather"Nita,"was saying:"How''s_ this_, Karen darling?"
19403Perhaps Nita herself had unsealed the letter to make an addition or a correction?
19403Prearranged?...
19403Probably, too, he had written her a few letters during their short courtship----""How was Sprague killed?"
19403Remember you were dummy and I played the hand?
19403Remember?
19403Same as always?
19403Selim-- alone?"
19403Selim?"
19403Selim?"
19403Selim?"
19403Selim?"
19403Selim?"
19403Shall I lock her up on general principles?"
19403She came back--""After how long a time?"
19403She never mentioned his desertion to me again, but----""Yes?"
19403She sent me a message, did n''t she?
19403She was too good----""From Nita''s confidences to you, do you have any idea how she did get the money?"
19403So Tracey got the box of anagrams out of the trophy room--""The trophy room?"
19403So you''re going to accept the Miles''offer of a job as nurse?"
19403So''s I could build a new fire--""Did you speak to the maid-- ask her if she''d been''meddlin''with your drafts''?"
19403Such a funny old- fashioned shroud, is n''t it?...
19403Tea, Mr. Dundee?
19403The butler.... Shall I telephone him?"
19403The men, mostly, looking for-- for whoever did it--""Mrs. Marshall, did you see anyone--_anyone at all_--in or near that room when you entered it?"
19403The note Nita received during her luncheon party, and which she thrust, before your eyes, into a pocket of this coat?...
19403The question is_ who_ read that story and gazed on that picture with exquisite relief?"
19403Then where had she got it--$5,000 at a time, here in Hamilton?
19403Then you knew her as an actress, I presume?"
19403Then:"Lydia, did you see anyone--_anyone at all!_--from your basement room window before you answered Mrs. Dunlap''s ring?"
19403To two perfunctory questions--"Have you any information to give this jury regarding the cause and manner of the deceased''s death?"
19403Try again in fifteen minutes, will you?"
19403Ummm, let''s see... Chartreuse, did n''t they call it?
19403Was he not the representative of the district attorney?...
19403Was he there?...
19403Was her death a payment for some recent or long- standing crime?
19403Was it possible that the banker loved wildflowers?
19403Was she left out?"
19403Was that quick, passionate kiss between husband and wife being staged for his benefit?
19403Was that the reason, perhaps, why she had been so thorny with him, a mere"dick"?
19403We know pretty well how to work together, do n''t we?
19403We''ve been having a sort of tournament-- quite sharply competitive--""When did you and your friends practise last?"
19403Well, Ralph and I--""Are you going to marry Ralph Hammond, Penny?"
19403Well, Sprague?"
19403Well, anyway, Flora went to telephone--""In the little foyer between the main hall and Mrs. Selim''s room?"
19403Well, then, did you hear Nita speak to anyone?
19403Were the sums transfers from accounts in New York banks?
19403Were they all overdoing it a bit-- this reacting of their hostility to the sole remaining outsider of their compact little group?...
19403What color was that dress of hers?...
19403What do you think of_ that_, partner?"
19403What do you want?"
19403What does it all mean?"
19403What does it matter?"
19403What easier, then, than to hide the weapon on this secret shelf, the"door"of which yielded to the slightest pressure?
19403What had she feared then?
19403What if Strawn''s parting boast was not an idle one, and he really had"the goods"on Ralph Hammond?
19403What if she had escaped, while he had been munching caviar and anchovy sandwiches?
19403What is it?"
19403What shall we_ do_?"
19403What the devil had frightened her so?
19403What''s going to become of_ her_?''
19403What, in God''s name, did this long- winded old fool have to tell him?...
19403When did you make those footprints?"
19403Where did you say the body is?"
19403Where do you fish, sir?"
19403Where had she got the money?
19403Where the devil were the steps that led down into the basement?
19403Where was I?"
19403Who dared to say Nita-- Miss Nita-- did it?"
19403Who had preceded him stealthily?...
19403Who killed Nita Selim?"
19403Who was_ that_ man?
19403Who--?"
19403Whom did Mrs. Dunlap talk to at Headquarters?"
19403Why could n''t Lydia have slept up here, if Nita thought so much of her"faithful and beloved maid"?
19403Why did n''t you tell me?"
19403Why did you protect Sprague?
19403Why do you propose to_ her_ on Thursday and to_ me_ on-- on Sunday?"
19403Why had Drake chosen to_ walk_?
19403Why had n''t she bid four Clubs after Karen''s original three Spade bid, if she simply wanted to give her partner information?...
19403Why had n''t she trumped up some excuse immediately and left the closet as Nita was entering the room?
19403Why not the desk top, or the mantelpiece, or the smoking table beside the big armchair?
19403Why not?
19403Why the waste space?
19403Why was Ralph to ask no questions?
19403Why?"
19403Why?"
19403Why?"
19403Why?"
19403Why?...
19403Will you let me eavesdrop behind these portieres?...
19403Would_ he_ have chattered of that very person?
19403Yes, he had been busy enough, but what, actually, had he to show for his industry?
19403Yes, this is Dundee.... All right, but make it snappy, wo n''t you?...
19403You admit that it is the tally card you used while playing bridge this afternoon?"
19403You agree, of course, that none of all this you''ve told me must even be hinted at during the inquest?...
19403You do love me a little, do n''t you?
19403You do n''t still think_ I_ killed her, do you?"
19403You do n''t think there''ll be more----?"
19403You have copies, I presume?"
19403You looked into the closets and drawers, of course?"
19403You must have approached the house from the driveway side, the side of the house which contains Mrs. Selim''s bedroom.... Is that right?"
19403You really ought not to let me come over and explain why I stood you up last night, but you will, wo n''t you?...
19403You remember Penny Crain said Nita had Lydia follow her into her bedroom, as soon as Nita got home from the luncheon?...
19403You remember that old royal blue velvet dress of mine that you were always sniffing at and either trying to make me give away or have made over?
19403You went out to telephone, did n''t you?...
19403You, too, Harmon?"
19403Your raise to five makes a little slam obligatory, does n''t it, Nita?"
19403_ A large group!_ Would that group of possible suspects never narrow down to one?
19403_ And he does n''t even know Nita is dead!_"CHAPTER SIXTEEN"Of course I recognized his voice instantly when he said,''That you, Penny?''
19403_ Any one of half a dozen people!_ But--_who_?
19403_ In cash!_ Had Nita, by any chance, been telling a near- truth?
19403_ Oh, do n''t you see he could n''t know that Nita is dead?_""Did you ask him where he was?"
19403_ Oh, do n''t you see he could n''t know that Nita is dead?_""Did you ask him where he was?"
19403_ Pomade!..._ Who was the man who had slept in this bed last night?
19403_ What''s that?_... Oh, my God!...
19403and"Have you any personal knowledge of the identity of any person, man or woman, of whom the deceased stood in fear of her life?"
22820A riddle?
22820Afterwards, you say, he was seen in the garden when you were all out after dinner?
22820All the time?
22820Almost beside yourself?
22820Am I less beautiful?
22820Am I to have no peace?
22820An hour?
22820And Christine Manderson here three days ago?
22820And he left quite quietly?
22820And he refused to see you?
22820And prepared to carry out your threat?
22820And the name of this young man?
22820And this man, madame-- what was he like?
22820And utterly destroy her?
22820And what has brought you to London?
22820Anything to tell me?
22820Are you a friend of Miss Masters?
22820Are you satisfied? 22820 Are you telling me,"the inspector demanded,"that Copplestone killed the woman he had just become engaged to?"
22820As any one would use it?
22820Away...?
22820Away?
22820Away?
22820Because, in your opinion, he was unworthy of her?
22820But how had you come to believe yourself to be his son?
22820But what do you mean?
22820But what of your other object,Tranter inquired--"the''riddle''that you came over to solve?"
22820But where?
22820But you found only some guests of Mr. Copplestone''s, who had been invited to dinner?
22820Can he hear you?
22820Can you assist me to discover her address?
22820Can you tell me the name of the child?
22820Can you?
22820Come with you?
22820Come,he said impatiently--"in what way are you mixed up in this?"
22820Did Layton kill her?
22820Did Miss Manderson show any particular fear of the threat?
22820Did he find you?
22820Did she know the garden well?
22820Did she start to walk to the house immediately you left her?
22820Did she?
22820Did you call at Mr. Copplestone''s house at half- past eight?
22820Did you hear her private affairs, and mode of life, discussed at any time?
22820Did you know Copplestone before?
22820Did you know Miss Manderson well?
22820Did you meet any one else?
22820Did you see any one else?
22820Did you see any one else?
22820Did you see anything of the others?
22820Disappeared?
22820Disappeared?
22820Do n''t you see that a cry for help would have completely transformed the whole case? 22820 Do n''t you see,"he whispered,"that decorations can be good or bad, just as men and women can be good or bad?
22820Do you care?
22820Do you know anything of her life and associations in America?
22820Do you know him well?
22820Do you really mean,Tranter exclaimed,"that you know the truth of the crime?"
22820Do you remember saying anything else in the room?
22820Do you see how coarse and heavy and rough you are? 22820 Do you suggest that he may have committed the crime?"
22820Do you,Monsieur Dupont inquired,"recollect the name of Winslowe?"
22820Doctor Lessing,he began,"I believe it is for a long time that you have lived in this beautiful place?"
22820Does n''t it?
22820Does she live alone, madame?
22820Does that path communicate anywhere with the one which we presume Miss Manderson was following to the house?
22820During the most part of your conversation with her, were you walking about, or standing still?
22820Either of uth?
22820Even if one had told you of those three dreadful crimes that he had committed, and that an innocent man was accused of the last one?
22820Fair to me?
22820For whom?
22820Good reason?
22820Had you any right to take upon yourself the control of Miss Manderson''s choice of a husband?
22820Had you given her definite cause to believe that you intended to ask her to marry you?
22820Has he mentioned anything of the business that has brought him to this country?
22820Hated her beauty, and not her...?
22820Have I lost anything that used to draw you? 22820 Have you any suggestion to make as to who that person may have been?"
22820Have you come to tell me that?
22820Have you come... for me?
22820He escaped from Mr. Bolsover, and was not seen again?
22820He knew that it was only you who could give any proof against him?
22820He lived, I think in this village at the time I have said?
22820He said that?
22820How can you stand in front of the poor creature, and talk like that before his face?
22820How did you come to know her? 22820 How do you know?"
22820How do you like this somewhat showy welcome?
22820How far was he in front of you?
22820How long after you parted from her?
22820How long were you away from him?
22820How much do you want?
22820How much do you want?
22820How much of the time?
22820I mean that you wish that answer to be accepted as the truth?
22820I presume that you did so on instructions from Tranter?
22820I suppose it was James Layton?
22820I think you made some remark about the decorations?
22820I understand that you brought Monsieur Dupont here with you as your friend?
22820I understand that you found Layton sneaking about the house?
22820I?
22820If you had heard of any one else acting in the same way, you would have thought that he could hardly have been in a normal state of mind?
22820In the dock? 22820 In the garden?"
22820In the name of heaven,he muttered,"what happened in that house last night?"
22820In what direction did you walk?
22820In what part of the garden were you when you left him?
22820In what position was the body lying?
22820Is it monstrous?
22820Is it not very trivial?
22820Is n''t it enough to have gone through the last two days? 22820 Is n''t this... a trifle theatrical?"
22820Is she still alive?
22820Is that... a living thing?
22820Is there any connection between the crime to- night, and your so- called''riddle''?
22820Is there... anything more... you want to know?
22820It is true that he said that rather than allow Miss Manderson to become engaged to Mr. Copplestone, he would tear her to pieces with his own hands?
22820It seemed, in fact, to be a considerable shock to her?
22820It was, I presume, further away from the house than the spot where the body was found?
22820Jim,she asked softly..."was she so much to you?"
22820Judge you?
22820Justice?
22820Later on, one of the guests, Mr. Bolsover, found you creeping round the house towards an open window?
22820Layton? 22820 Leaving Monsieur Dupont by the river?"
22820Lied to you?
22820Mademoiselle, you are a friend of Mr. James Layton, who was taken, a few minutes ago, to Scotland Yard?
22820Monsieur Dupont?
22820Mr. Bolsover then followed you out in the direction in which the crime was committed?
22820Mr. James Layton?
22820Mr. James Layton?
22820Mr. Tranter, sir?
22820Murderedth?
22820My friend,he said-- and there was the faintest tremor in his voice,"I ask you again-- into what manner of house have you brought me?"
22820My friend,he said--"are you inclined for an adventure?"
22820My friend,said Monsieur Dupont slowly--"into what manner of house have you brought me?"
22820My friend,said Monsieur Dupont,"you know me well enough to be sure that I would not mislead you?"
22820My friend,said the inspector slowly,"what utterly monstrous thing are you telling me?"
22820My own sake-- to take from me the only thing I had-- my only chance?--to throw my life into the shadows? 22820 My own sake?"
22820No sounds of a struggle?
22820Not much doubt about it, is there?
22820Nothing until the alarm was given?
22820Now, Mr. Bolsover, just whereabouts was Layton when you disturbed him?
22820Of what use is Justice? 22820 Or else?"
22820Or hear any voices?
22820Or the name of James Layton, the millionaire philanthropist, mentioned in conjunction with her''s?
22820Perhaps I can discover it at the church?
22820Perhaps you will first tell me,the doctor returned,"for what purpose you require this information?"
22820Perhaps,Monsieur Dupont proceeded evenly,"there were circumstances in connection with that name which helped to fix it in your memory?"
22820Perhaps,the tired voice confessed,"it was n''t altogether playing the game to announce my engagement so unexpectedly to-- to----""Well?"
22820Serious consequences?
22820So far as you know,the inspector proceeded,"had she an enemy in this country-- or was there any one who could have wished to harm her?"
22820So there was no doubt that she knew him?
22820So,he said, after a pause,"you would put them on to me again...?"
22820Strange things?
22820That is some way from the river?
22820That you would prevent the marriage?
22820The key?
22820The nurse,inquired Monsieur Dupont,"what was her name?"
22820The rest of the house?
22820The whole time?
22820The woman who ruined Michael Cranbourne, son of Joshua Cranbourne, the Nitrate King?
22820Thea Colville? 22820 Then Mrs. Astley- Rolfe had reason to be jealous of Miss Manderson?"
22820Then she left you for about ten minutes?
22820Then,mused the inspector,"she must have met the criminal, whoever it was, at the most within three minutes of leaving you?"
22820There is?
22820This Mademoiselle Manderson-- do you know her?
22820Three deaths?
22820To begin with-- did you go to Richmond on that night?
22820To the river?
22820To you?
22820To your mind you had a right to interfere in that engagement?
22820Two inquests?
22820Two months?
22820Understanding?
22820Unpleasant circumstances?
22820Was all that hardness... only a cloak... to hide yourself?
22820Was he alone?
22820Was he alone?
22820Was the body lying in your path?
22820Was there any answer?
22820Was there any one else,the inspector asked slowly,"who might, for any reason, have entertained unfriendly feelings towards Miss Manderson?"
22820Was there anything strange about the room?
22820Well, my friend?
22820Well,said Tranter,"what is there for me to do?"
22820Well...?
22820Well?
22820Well?
22820Well?
22820Well?
22820Well?
22820Well?
22820Well?
22820Well?
22820Were there trees or hedges about, where some one might have hidden to overhear you?
22820Were you alone when you found it?
22820Were you alone?
22820Were you alone?
22820Were you in the room when this young man, James Layton, burst in?
22820Were you responsible for your words and actions at the time?
22820What are they?
22820What are your laws of Right and Wrong to me? 22820 What can I do for you?"
22820What can I do for you?
22820What can I do?
22820What did you do after she left you?
22820What did you do then?
22820What did you do when Mr. Copplestone refused to see you?
22820What did you do, after meeting Monsieur Dupont?
22820What did you overhear?
22820What did you understand?
22820What do you mean, either of uth?
22820What do you mean?
22820What do you mean?
22820What do you mean?
22820What do you mean?
22820What do you mean?
22820What do you want first?
22820What do you want me to do for you?
22820What do you want to know?
22820What do you want with him?
22820What do you want?
22820What does it matter,she sobbed,"if I have n''t slept?
22820What does it mean?
22820What for?
22820What had given you that right?
22820What has brought you back into the arena?
22820What has happened?
22820What has he done?
22820What has he given you to do?
22820What have you to do with this?
22820What is it to you?
22820What is it?
22820What is my house, or what happens in it, to you?
22820What is the matter? 22820 What is the use of hating?"
22820What is the use of telling me this?
22820What is to be my first task?
22820What is true?
22820What kind of noises, madame?
22820What luck?
22820What more could they want?
22820What next?
22820What of it?
22820What on earth do you mean?
22820What possible connection can that have with the case?
22820What right,he cried furiously,"have men and women to marry and bequeath disease and madness to their children?
22820What the devil is it to do with you?
22820What was your object in calling on him, in that manner, at such an inconvenient time?
22820What were the two previous crimes?
22820What wickedness is this?
22820What, in God''s name, was there in this garden to- night?
22820What, then, did you do when Mr. Bolsover ran after you?
22820When and where did you first meet her?
22820When you accounted for your time to the inspector, you told him that you went into the house to refill your cigarette case?
22820Where and when did you first meet Miss Manderson?
22820Where are we going?
22820Where are we going?
22820Where are you to be found?
22820Where are your police?
22820Where can they have gone?
22820Where is Copplestone?
22820Where is Layton?
22820Where were you when Mr. Tranter found you?
22820Which path did he run to when he saw you?
22820Who and what, is this man? 22820 Who are you?"
22820Who could want to judge you? 22820 Who did?"
22820Who is he?
22820Who saw him?
22820Who was it?
22820Who was the last person to be with Miss Manderson before the crime was discovered?
22820Who''s there?
22820Why are you here-- in this house?
22820Why do you stand there?
22820Why have n''t you gone?
22820Why is he here, in your house?
22820Why not? 22820 Why not?"
22820Why should I go with you?
22820Why should he be spared because he is suffering a fraction of the just and natural consequences of his own deliberate acts? 22820 Why should n''t I go?
22820Why should we have one to- night-- of all nights?
22820Why waste your breath on heroics to me?
22820Why,he asked,"did the murderer, whoever it was, kill her so horribly?
22820Why?
22820Will you kindly explain?
22820Will you kindly tell me exactly what happened from the time you went out into the garden after dinner, and the time you left Miss Manderson?
22820Will you please tell me with whom, and in what part of the garden, you passed the time before the crime was discovered?
22820Will you show us now, Mr. Tranter, where you parted from Miss Manderson?
22820Will you tell me if any particular person was in the habit of visiting Miss Masters?
22820Will you tell me the story?
22820Winslowe?
22820Without having fulfilled your object?
22820Wo n''t you come in and rest a bit?
22820Would it still be the same answer?
22820Yet you say you were quite yourself?
22820You agree with it?
22820You are certain that Layton is innocent?
22820You are quite certain it was Layton?
22820You come to me now... within a few hours...."Why not?
22820You dare,she said slowly,"to offer_ me_ five thousand pounds?"
22820You do not know?
22820You have said that you did not hear any one moving about near you while you were speaking to her?
22820You heard his name?
22820You heard it?
22820You knew, then, that she was in the house at the time?
22820You know the way about the garden quite well?
22820You know who killed her?
22820You know?
22820You mean that-- finally?
22820You really meant what you said?
22820You went into the garden with the others after dinner?
22820You were here all the evening?
22820You were in a state of great excitement, were you not?
22820You were in the garden too?
22820You were then requested to leave the house, and I think you left quite quietly?
22820You will be able to show me the place where you left her?
22820You wish me to accept that answer?
22820You-- of all people-- condescending to visit our plane? 22820 You...?
22820You?
22820You?
22820Your father? 22820 Your mysterious Frenchman?"
22820Am I not as soft to touch?
22820And how does he come to be mixed up in this affair?"
22820Are not my eyes as bright-- my lips as red?
22820Are they not on a different scale of values?"
22820Are you prepared to work for him?"
22820Are you satisfied?"
22820Are you suggesting that it is not?"
22820Bolsover?"
22820Bolsover?"
22820Bolsover?"
22820But how in the world did he come to know Miss Manderson?"
22820But the reason why....""Is it an extraordinary thing for a man to open his windows, paint his house, and straighten his garden?"
22820CHAPTER XI THE CLERGYMAN"Mr. Delamere,"said the inspector,"you discovered the body?"
22820Ca n''t I keep my soul to myself?"
22820Ca n''t you let me be-- even for a few days?"
22820Can it call her back-- or mend her broken body?"
22820Can not you see that I am serious?
22820Can you wonder that I became what I was?"
22820Copplestone...?"
22820Copplestone?"
22820Copplestone?"
22820Copplestone?"
22820Copplestone?"
22820Copplestone?"
22820Copplestone?"
22820Copplestone?"
22820Could one have desired more?
22820Could you give me a cigarette?"
22820Do n''t you know that a hard woman is the most terrible thing in the world?
22820Do n''t you know that while men dare to think that they have the image of God, it is women who can really have the heart of God?
22820Do n''t you see that my house is in mourning?
22820Do you happen to know where he was going?"
22820Do you really care?"
22820Do you think my secrets-- if I have any-- are for you?
22820Do you wonder that I hate him?
22820Does not the influence of good and noble decorations uplift us to joy and patriotism?
22820Has n''t it still some charm?
22820Have strange things appeared to be happening in the house during the visits of the tall gentleman with the dark moustache?"
22820Have you any other means of raithing the money?"
22820How could I obtain them?
22820How far would that actually be?"
22820How should he?
22820How was he able to do that?
22820I forced my way into the room, calling her by the name of Christine----""Why?"
22820I might have been in time....""After Mr. Tranter had spoken to you, you say you went into the house at once?"
22820Is it not extraordinary?"
22820Is it not to hate them-- as I hate that foul thing there?--to curse them, as I curse him, with every breath?"
22820Is it nothing to you now?"
22820Is n''t it enough to be pestered by the police and the papers, and all the damnable business for the inquest?
22820Is n''t it enough?
22820Is not my hair as golden?
22820Is that so?"
22820Is that understood?"
22820Is there no other alternative?"
22820Layton?"
22820May I beg all the details that you can recall?"
22820Monsieur Dupont?
22820My own sake... to have made me what I am?"
22820No end but that end?
22820No road but that road?
22820Oh, does n''t that name awaken... something?
22820Oh, what could be more wonderful-- more splendid?
22820Oh, why did you leave me?"
22820Or that I, myself, am for you?
22820That is the only----""What in the name of all that''s unholy,"gasped the inspector,"are you going to say next?"
22820The Chicago adventuress?"
22820The man they call the Mad Philanthropist?"
22820To place a beautiful woman within reach, and watch for a betrayal?
22820To rely upon observation?
22820To search for-- and wait for-- a proof in this person''s daily intercourse with the world?
22820To what period do you wish to refer?"
22820Tranter exclaimed, taken aback,"how on earth am I to do that?"
22820Tranter?"
22820What are the feelings of a child to such parents?
22820What are they?"
22820What are your Codes of Sin?
22820What better thing could I do with it than give it... to the woman I would marry if I could?"
22820What chance had I to resist it, in those surroundings?
22820What do you mean?"
22820What do you want now?"
22820What do you want?"
22820What extraordinary event can such a blaze be intended to celebrate?"
22820What had I to do with madness?
22820What has happened?"
22820What have you to do with women like that?"
22820What is it to do with him?"
22820What is it?"
22820What is the matter?"
22820What is there to pity in that?
22820What right have they to propagate the rottenness of their minds and bodies?
22820What right have you to try to judge me?"
22820What was I to do?
22820What was it?"
22820What would you be-- what would any of them be now-- but for me?
22820Where could you find anything better than me?"
22820Where is he?"
22820Where were you?"
22820Who are you to judge me?
22820Who are you to set your little laws against My Madness?"
22820Who could have hated the poor girl so dreadfully?"
22820Who was with her last?"
22820Who would not say that in his rage and jealousy he had fulfilled his threat?
22820Who, or what, smashed the body of that unfortunate woman to pulp in this garden to- night?"
22820Whoth there?
22820Whoth there?"
22820Why did n''t you drop me a line in advance?"
22820Why do you persist in staying when I want you to go?"
22820Why do you pry?
22820Why do you try to force yourself on to dangerous ground?
22820Why have you never looked like that before?"
22820Why should not the influence of mean and sinful decorations degrade us to murder and destruction?
22820Why was it not enough to deprive her of life?
22820Why was she stamped on, and torn, and crushed?"
22820Why?
22820Will you answer a few questions, as clearly and briefly as possible?
22820Will you help him?"
22820Will you help me on that understanding?"
22820Will you kindly give me the names of your guests in the other room?"
22820Will you kindly leave me your address, in case I should have to ask you for any more information?"
22820Will you tell the truth to me-- or to the police?"
22820With whom did you pass the time after you went out into the garden until the alarm was given?"
22820Would you allow me to ask you some questions, without finding me impertinent?"
22820Yet, what scientist allows the matter of sex to interfere with the impalement of his beetle?
22820You dare to name yourself to me in the same breath with her?
22820You do not object to that?"
22820You in London?"
22820You said that to your mind you had a right to interfere in Miss Manderson''s engagement?"
22820he cried shrilly--"or to any one?
22820here?"
22820it moaned--"is there no way... no way?
22820now?"
22820out of life?"
22820said the inspector--"why not?"
22820she cried sharply--"what about Christine?"
22820the inspector insisted--"to whom?"
22820then?"
12509A guide, eh?
12509A man or woman?
12509About his marriage and Sisily?
12509About what, may I ask?
12509About what?
12509After all these years? 12509 Afterwards-- where?"
12509And do you think that after all these years, Remington is really alive?
12509And found the door open and your uncle lying dead upstairs?
12509And get me into trouble?
12509And have you discovered it?
12509And how did it get back into the room afterwards?
12509And lock them?
12509And went out afterwards?
12509And what else did you tell him?
12509And what then?
12509And where would he be running to? 12509 And why do you wish to find her?"
12509And you would n''t let her in?
12509Any message, sir? 12509 Anything else?"
12509Are n''t you going to light up inside?
12509Are the circumstances of his death likely to tell against my succeeding? 12509 Are there any proofs of the earlier marriage?"
12509Are you going to leave him there-- like that?
12509Are you going to stay much longer in the forsaken hole?
12509Are you quite sure that it was the man- servant you saw looking through the door yesterday afternoon?
12509Are you sorry you are leaving Cornwall?
12509Are you sure you did n''t dream this?
12509Are you thinking of the title, and your father''s money?
12509At what time?
12509Ay, you know that, do you?
12509But did he have any reason, that you know of, to commit suicide?
12509But how was it that you told them that you feared something had happened to your master? 12509 But perhaps you do n''t go in for racing yourself?"
12509But so far the proof of his daughter''s illegitimacy rests on his unsupported statement, which would be quite valueless in a court of law?
12509But what can I tell you that you do not already know?
12509But where''s the key? 12509 But why did he send for you?"
12509But why should he destroy himself?
12509But why should you keep anything back?
12509But you invested his fortune for him, did you not?
12509Ca n''t ye do nothing?
12509Can I help you?
12509Can not the story be kept quiet-- if not for Alice''s sake, at least for Sisily''s? 12509 Can not you hold it steady?
12509Can you give me some supper while I''m waiting?
12509Can you tell me if your niece is provided with money?
12509Can you tell me what time Charles Turold came in that night?
12509Can you tell me where Miss Sisily is, Thalassa?
12509Can you tell me where he is staying in London?
12509Coming with the supper tray-- coming with the supper tray.... What''s that? 12509 Could I see her?"
12509Could Miss Turold have heard what he was saying?
12509Could anybody have got into the house without your knowledge?
12509Could you not tell me?
12509Could you not tell them-- the police-- that?
12509Dead, did ye say? 12509 Dead?
12509Did Robert Turold suffer from neurasthenia?
12509Did Thalassa hear the shot?
12509Did any of the passengers alight at the crossroads?
12509Did he tell you so?
12509Did she hear the shot-- or see anything?
12509Did that clock upstairs keep good time?
12509Did this young woman travel up with you by this wagonette last night?
12509Did you come back to Cornwall for that purpose?
12509Did you discover anything else?
12509Did you ever see Miss Turold?
12509Did you hear anybody?
12509Did you hear me?
12509Did you hear the shot before the crash?
12509Did you hear what I said to you?
12509Did you not speak to them?
12509Did you notice in which direction this girl went?
12509Did you observe any marks when you examined the body?
12509Did you see Miss Turold there?
12509Did you see his face?
12509Did you see the blood under the door when you went up and tried to get in?
12509Did you see the wagonette on the road?
12509Did you see which way she went?
12509Did your brother make his will down here?
12509Did your wife hear the noise?
12509Do not the circumstances point to her guilt?
12509Do the police know of them?
12509Do you intend to go and see your brother to- night?
12509Do you know any other games of patience?
12509Do you know anything about this peerage?
12509Do you know how long your brother has been aware of this earlier marriage?
12509Do you know how these marks were made?
12509Do you know what took place at the family gathering which was held in this house yesterday afternoon, after the funeral?
12509Do you know where I am likely to find her?
12509Do you know where she is?
12509Do you mean that he has been killed?
12509Do you mean that she is illegitimate?
12509Do you mean that they love each other?
12509Do you mean that?
12509Do you mean the night after he met his death?
12509Do you mean to say that because you took a dislike to this unfortunate man''s face, you think he has murdered Robert? 12509 Do you mean to tell me that you did not see your master''s daughter, or let her into the house?"
12509Do you not intend to question him at all?
12509Do you propose to tell me the truth?
12509Do you really mean what you say?
12509Do you remember what you told me about your mother''s old nurse, and our memory pictures of her name? 12509 Do you take me for a fool?"
12509Do you think I did n''t put my wits to work when the damned detective was trying to put me into it as well as her? 12509 Do you think I''d have come back to Cornwall otherwise, knowing the police are searching for me?"
12509Do you think it was he who murdered my uncle?
12509Do you think she imagined it?
12509Do you think she shot her father?
12509Do you think she will recover?
12509Do you think that Robert Turold invented this story about his marriage?
12509Do you think the world is the loser by his death?
12509Do you think you will be safe here till I get back?
12509Do you think your brother Austin would agree?
12509Doctor,he said,"have you told anybody about those marks on Robert Turold''s arm?"
12509Does Mrs. Pursill live here?
12509Does he not live with you?
12509Dost a''know anything about diamonds-- digging for them?
12509Flint House? 12509 For what purpose?"
12509For what purpose?
12509For what purpose?
12509For what reason?
12509For what reason?
12509For what?
12509Gone? 12509 Had Robert Turold any enemies?"
12509Had n''t you some idea that the marks on the arm might have been caused by the removal of the body into the next room?
12509Had not your son returned by then?
12509Had your brother''s servant any reason, so far as you know, to be listening at the door?
12509Had your father any enemy? 12509 Happen I did, what good''d come of telling them?"
12509Has Miss Sisily been here?
12509Has Miss Sisily been here?
12509Has your niece any friends in Cornwall or London, or anywhere, for that matter, who would receive her?
12509Have you any doubt on that point?
12509Have you any other reason for suspecting him?
12509Have you considered the scandal this will entail upon us all?
12509Have you discovered something?
12509Have you no idea who she was?
12509Have you read about this Cornwall murder?
12509Have you reflected what that implies?
12509He denied himself all his life for the sake of the title, and what''s the good of it all-- now?
12509He did not return with you after the funeral?
12509He feared pursuit-- some unknown danger, then?
12509He was quite dead when you entered the study?
12509He? 12509 Here?"
12509How can I explain what I do not know?
12509How could I expect any one to believe a story which sounds improbable in my own ears? 12509 How could I hear anybody when I was down in the coal cellar?"
12509How could anybody get in?
12509How did he come by his money?
12509How did he come to be buried there with his diamonds, in that lonely spot?
12509How did it happen? 12509 How did it happen?"
12509How did you discover them?
12509How did you get in?
12509How did you know it was her?
12509How did you learn of them?
12509How do I get to Euston Road?
12509How do I know you''ve seen her?
12509How do you account for the two forms of spelling your family name?
12509How do you know that I''m a Londoner?
12509How do you know?
12509How do you know?
12509How do you think the shock was caused?
12509How long after was the body carried into the bedroom?
12509How long had he been dead?
12509How long was that after the crash upstairs?
12509How many passengers did you have on your last journey in, last night?
12509How much do you consider your brother ought to allow Sisily?
12509How should I know? 12509 How''s your patient?"
12509I could a''sworn-- could a''taken Bible oath--"That you and that other scoundrel had killed me? 12509 I had to tell them something, had n''t I?"
12509I suppose you are aware your sister does not share your view that your brother committed suicide?
12509I suppose you have come to Cornwall to investigate the cause of his death?
12509I suppose you know you are wanted by the police?
12509I understand you came to Cornwall at your brother''s request?
12509I wonder where we could go and talk in safety?
12509If I could only see Thalassa-- for five minutes--"What good would that do?
12509If I find out the truth, nothing shall come between us then, Sisily?
12509If these proofs are found, do you think that my chance of regaining the title is as good as Robert''s?
12509If you know that why do you ask me?
12509In any case the present claim could not be gone on with, could it?
12509In his blood? 12509 In spite of her disappearance?"
12509In what circumstances?
12509In what way?
12509Is Austin Turold a poor man?
12509Is it about Mr. Turold''s murder?
12509Is it good- bye, then?
12509Is it howling through grief?
12509Is it necessary?
12509Is it not enough?
12509Is it still your opinion that Miss Turold is guilty-- after this letter?
12509Is it the Cornish savage from the churchtown-- him with the straw helmit?
12509Is it too late to try it now?
12509Is it you, Thalassa?
12509Is my son suspected-- now?
12509Is that all?
12509Is that the dog I heard whining downstairs?
12509Is that what you think?
12509Is the story to be believed, do you think?
12509Is there no way of keeping this matter quiet, Robert?
12509Is this a place where there''s likely to be visitors?
12509Is this all you wanted to show me?
12509Is this where you were sitting the night before last, when you heard the crash in your master''s room upstairs?
12509Is your nephew''s belief in Miss Turold''s innocence based on anything stronger than assertion? 12509 Is-- is he dead, doctor?"
12509It did not occur to you to break in the door of your master''s room when you got no answer and found it locked?
12509It hardly suggests innocence, does it?
12509It''s good, is it?
12509It''s rather late, is n''t it?
12509Luggage, miss, in the van?
12509Meantime--"Why not investigate it immediately?
12509Might not that have been his daughter?
12509Mrs. Pendleton, will you wait downstairs while we investigate?
12509Mrs. Thalassa--he spoke more gently--"will you try and understand me?"
12509Not enough passengers, eh?
12509Oh, Charles, how did you find me?
12509Oh, that''s it, is it?
12509Oh, why do you think that?
12509Oh, why have you told me this now?
12509On what grounds did he base that belief?
12509Or to stay with your father?
12509Pay? 12509 Perhaps she was dumb?"
12509Robert, Robert, what is the matter? 12509 Sergeant Pengowan regards it as a case of suicide, does he not?"
12509She did not indicate what those plans were?
12509She was quite alone?
12509Sisily, why did you go away?
12509So that''s all that happened that night, is it?
12509So that''s it, is it? 12509 So you did n''t see her face, after all?"
12509Somebody? 12509 Sooper?"
12509Suppose it''s true-- what then?
12509Suppose they got in through the window?
12509Suppose we dropped the last of our money?
12509Surely my sister imparted this to the Penzance police inspector, when she besought his assistance?
12509Surely you notice the passengers you carry?
12509Suspicions of whom?
12509Thalassa? 12509 Thalassa?"
12509Thalassa?
12509Thalassa?
12509That afternoon, when my father was talking to you all in the front room downstairs-- do you remember?
12509That story sounds incredible, even to you, does n''t it? 12509 That was when my aunt and her husband and Dr. Ravenshaw came to the door?"
12509The House of Lords will require proof on that point, will they not?
12509The key?
12509The question is-- are you telling the truth? 12509 The question is-- what is the truth?"
12509Then do you want to go with Aunt to London?
12509Then is it still your intention to go to the police with this terrible suspicion?
12509Then this is the game you were playing on that night?
12509Then where are they now?
12509Then why do it?
12509Then you do not know whether he was in or out when you left the house?
12509Then you have finger- prints to help you?
12509Then you intend to arrest her?
12509There is no doubt on that point, is there? 12509 They were diamonds, then?"
12509This man has been in your brother''s service for a long time, has he not?
12509Visitors?
12509Was Charles Turold showing you the marks when I found you in the other room?
12509Was Robert Turold''s daughter a girl of this sort?
12509Was he attached to her, do you think?
12509Was not Miss Turold present at the family gathering?
12509Was that made by the right or left hand?
12509Was there anything in Robert Turold''s demeanour which suggested to you recently that he valued his life lightly, or was likely to take it?
12509Was your brother talking about his marriage at the time?
12509Was your master''s daughter here-- in the house, I mean-- on the night of his death?
12509Was your son home with you?
12509Was your son in to dinner that night?
12509Well, Thalassa,he said,"what do you want?"
12509Well?
12509Were there any footprints outside the window?
12509Were you not told not to interfere with these rooms in any way? 12509 What about Sisily?"
12509What about this Mrs. Johns-- does she suspect anything?
12509What about?
12509What are you doing up here?
12509What are you doing with that light?
12509What are you suggesting?
12509What are you trying to badger me for, like this? 12509 What be yewer doin''yare?"
12509What be you going to do?
12509What braught you down here?
12509What can I do for you?
12509What can we do?
12509What did you find when you got back?
12509What do you know about it, Sisily?
12509What do you mean by that?
12509What do you mean by that?
12509What do you mean? 12509 What do you mean?"
12509What do you say, Ravenshaw?
12509What do you suggest?
12509What do you suggest?
12509What do you want to know?
12509What do you want to know?
12509What do you want?
12509What do you want?
12509What do you want?
12509What do you wish me to do?
12509What does it imply?
12509What does this mean?
12509What else?
12509What frightened your wife so much? 12509 What happened while you were away from the house?
12509What has happened at Flint House, Ravenshaw? 12509 What has happened?
12509What has happened?
12509What has happened?
12509What has that to do with what we are talking about?
12509What is it, Thalassa? 12509 What is that?"
12509What is the cause of agoraphobia?
12509What is the reason?
12509What is your London address?
12509What kind of dog is it?
12509What made you find out that?
12509What makes you say so?
12509What makes you think that?
12509What night?
12509What sort of a noise?
12509What sort of an influence?
12509What sort of marks?
12509What time did Sisily catch the wagonette?
12509What time did Thalassa come for you from Flint House with the news that your brother was dead?
12509What time did he return-- on this evening?
12509What time did you commence-- can you think?
12509What time did you reach Flint House that night?
12509What time was it when the wagonette reached the cross- roads on the moor, where she got in?
12509What time was it when you heard the crash upstairs? 12509 What time was it when you left the house with Sisily?"
12509What time was it?
12509What time was that?
12509What was he like?
12509What was it?
12509What was the cause of death?
12509What was your reason for hurrying back across the moors that night?
12509What were you doing there at that late hour, and why was Ravenshaw with you?
12509What''s he like, Ruby?
12509What''s that got to do with it?
12509What''s the glass like to- night, Thalassa?
12509What''s the matter with her?
12509What''s the matter with my estimable landlady?
12509What''s the matter with the moment?
12509What''s the matter with you, man? 12509 What''s the matter with you?"
12509What''s the matter?
12509What''s the need for to look at them? 12509 What''s the use of going through all this again?"
12509When I leave Cornwall--"You mean we, do n''t you?
12509When did he go?
12509When did she go out?
12509When?
12509Where are Mr. Turold''s rooms?
12509Where did he go?
12509Where did you get to-- that night?
12509Where have I seen that face before?
12509Where is Sisily?
12509Where is Thalassa?
12509Where is he?
12509Where is this will?
12509Where was she going?
12509Where''s your husband?
12509Where?
12509Who has charge of the keys in your brother''s house? 12509 Who might you be?"
12509Who told him about the marks?
12509Who was it then? 12509 Who was it then?"
12509Who was your fellow passenger last night?
12509Who''s there?
12509Whom did my uncle marry?
12509Whose dog is it?
12509Why did n''t you try to break in the door?
12509Why did n''t you wear your coat? 12509 Why did you go away from Cornwall without a word?
12509Why did you not let me know, that last day on the cliffs?
12509Why did you not tell me, Sisily?
12509Why do you ask?
12509Why do you call her suspicion absurd?
12509Why do you think so?
12509Why do you think that?
12509Why does n''t he come away? 12509 Why has your son gone to London-- perhaps you can tell me that much?"
12509Why have you not come forward with this story before?
12509Why not leave it until the morning?
12509Why not?
12509Why not?
12509Why not?
12509Why should he tell a lie over such a small thing as the posting of a letter?
12509Why should you say that?
12509Why so?
12509Why were you there?
12509Why?
12509Why?
12509Why?
12509Will you not be seated?
12509Will you regard what I have to say to you in strict confidence?
12509Will you try and recollect?
12509Without waiting for your visit, do you mean? 12509 Wo n''t?"
12509Would it be an accurate timekeeper, do you think?
12509Would it be any more dangerous than hiding in London like a skulking rat?
12509Would it be possible to make marks on a corpse after that length of time?
12509Would it not be better to consult the police first?
12509Would that be quite safe?
12509Would you give me the address?
12509Would you know her again if you saw her?
12509Would you mind going and looking for Sisily?
12509Yes?
12509You are determined on it, then?
12509You are leaving England?
12509You are quite sure you did not play two?
12509You are the late Mr. Turold''s legal adviser?
12509You are the late Mr. Turold''s servant?
12509You did not go to his room, to see?
12509You do not intend to make this scandal public, Robert?
12509You do not suppose I have been altogether blind to your infatuation, do you? 12509 You got back to the mainland?"
12509You have known all along that the police are looking for you?
12509You have said nothing to anybody else about this?
12509You have told me all?
12509You heard no sound of a shot?
12509You mean about Robert committing suicide?
12509You mean two, do n''t you?
12509You recall the disclosure Robert made to us yesterday afternoon?
12509You saw Robert Turold''s body soon after you arrived at Flint House?
12509You say that he was ignorant of this earlier marriage until recently?
12509You say your brother was talking about some family matters at the time?
12509You surely do not suspect the brother?
12509You think her disappearance suggests guilt?
12509You think she has gone to London?
12509You took the key away with you?
12509You were here last night when they brought you the news of your brother''s death, I understand?
12509You wish to stay on here until you have made other arrangements for your future-- is that so?
12509You wished to see me?
12509You''d sooner see Sisily lose her life on them?
12509You, too?
12509Your brother gave you no indication of this before?
12509Your husband is upstairs?
12509Your own opinion is that your brother committed suicide?
12509''A little while?''
12509''And did you see him-- your uncle?''
12509''Did you go to Flint House?''
12509''How can you be Remington?''
12509''How was I to get them when I never caught him?''
12509''Oh, what did I come for?
12509''That young lady who arrived by the Cornwall train on Tuesday night, porter, and asked you the way to Euston Square-- what was she like?''
12509''The proofs-- of course you''ve obtained them?''
12509''What do you want to know for?''
12509''What do you want-- now?''
12509''What young woman was that?''
12509''Why have you left it so long?''
12509A ghost?
12509A warning obviously-- but a warning for what purpose?
12509A woman can inherit the throne of England, so why not a title?
12509After all, what''s a conscience to a liver?
12509After an interval he said--"Do you suspect Thalassa as well?"
12509After what I suffered alone on that island-- through you and Turold?
12509Again-- what things?
12509Ah, what was that cry?
12509All the facts-- but what were they?
12509And Sisily?
12509And afterwards?
12509And he may have felt remorse--""Remorse for what?"
12509And the noises?
12509And this letter with its postscript-- what was the meaning of it?
12509And was that after or before he was shot, or shot himself?
12509And whose footsteps had she heard?
12509Anything which has not been brought to light, I mean?"
12509Are the works intricate?
12509Are you aware that there were nearly four thousand names in the last Royal bestowal of Orders of the British Empire?
12509As he did not speak she broke the silence in a low tone--"What do you wish to say to me?"
12509Barrant picked it up, glanced at it, and said:"Is your son likely to be there?"
12509Before the waar I''ve had London ladies say to me:''''Ave you ever seen the Bay of Naples, or the Canaries?
12509Besides, had I not seen that horrible old man- servant glaring through the door?
12509Brimsdown?"
12509Brimsdown?"
12509But did not your brother confide this story to you before yesterday?"
12509But how can I help you?"
12509But how did Austin Turold come to know that his brother kept his will in the clock- case?
12509But how?
12509But if I had only known-- if I could have foreseen...""Mr. Turold''s death?"
12509But if it was excluded, how was the silence of Thalassa to be explained?
12509But is there any need for this to be known?
12509But that stupid old fule Garge pulled up as usual and bawls through the window,''Are you going to keep me here all night, Peter?''
12509But what else had she heard?
12509But what has that got to do with it?"
12509But what was the good of that?
12509But what''s to come next?
12509But who is to tell her the truth?
12509But who would find the way to such a lonely spot to commit murder, if murder had been committed?
12509But why had she delayed so long?
12509But why had she fled?
12509But why should Thalassa spring on his master in maniacal excitement?
12509CHAPTER X"Why should Robert commit suicide?"
12509CHAPTER XXIII"And suppose the police call during your absence?"
12509Can I get a conveyance back to Penzance?"
12509Can I stop here for a bit?
12509Can not it be proved?"
12509Can you conceive of any reason?"
12509Can you explain that?"
12509Can you tell me a place where I could stay; for the night-- somewhere quiet and respectable?"
12509Can you tell me if the brothers were on good terms?"
12509Come, what are you afraid of?
12509Could anybody else have posted it?
12509Could his late master have gone there to post it that night?
12509Could human cynicism go farther than that?
12509Could it be that he was mistaken, that his fears were imaginary?
12509Could she not sign a paper renouncing her rights in return for a share of my brother''s fortune?"
12509Could the unexpected appearance of his daughter have startled him in that fashion?
12509Crows, with the air of one propounding an insoluble riddle, asked his fare why should he take notice of his passengers?
12509Diamonds they were after?
12509Did Robert tell him, or did he find it out?
12509Did Thalassa hold his master in a grim clutch while the girl took the revolver out of the drawer and shot him?
12509Did detectives wear glasses?
12509Did he fear anybody?"
12509Did he wish for me?
12509Did his father share his secret knowledge?
12509Did she know or guess something of the hidden events of that night, or had she played the spy since?
12509Did somebody send for you?
12509Did the local fisherfolk believe that he had something to do with the murder, and shunned him like Ishmael in consequence?
12509Did you call down Heaven''s vengeance on the murderer in approved fashion?
12509Did you ever observe this peculiarity in him?"
12509Did you have no other visitors-- before Mr. and Mrs. Pendleton and Dr. Ravenshaw arrived?"
12509Did you notice that she did not speak a word during dinner?"
12509Did you think I had overlooked that?
12509Did your brother confide the information to you beforehand-- before his public announcement, I mean?"
12509Do you know anything about the brother?"
12509Do you not agree with me, Austin?"
12509Do you not see that your unexplained absence, in itself, is likely to bring suspicion upon you, indeed, upon both of us?"
12509Do you not think my plan a good one?"
12509Do you remember the disclosure he made to us this afternoon?
12509Do you suppose he could climb up here from outside?"
12509Do you suppose there''s a clock in the coal cellar?
12509Do you suppose you can go off to London like this, leaving me here alone, at such a moment?
12509Do you think more of your own skin than her safety?"
12509Do you think she saw the murderer?"
12509Do you think that you could hear footsteps on a night like this?"
12509Do you understand?"
12509Does he suspect any one else?"
12509Does not your daughter succeed you if you gain it, and not your brother?"
12509For I suppose she must be told?"
12509For what purpose?
12509For what?
12509Had Fate decreed her original mistake of taking a return ticket when she needed only a single one?
12509Had he any grudge against his master?"
12509Had he followed her?
12509Had he forgotten about the cursed Jew who got a hundred pounds out of them?
12509Had he really seen anything, after all?
12509Had she been out in the storm?
12509Had she really heard a footstep?
12509Had somebody called her name?
12509Had the cry come from there?
12509Hark, what was that?"
12509Has anything happened to my brother?"
12509Has somebody fallen off the cliffs-- been drowned?
12509Have I got it right?"
12509Have I got it right?"
12509Have you any idea-- the faintest suspicion?"
12509Have you anything to support it?
12509Have you no idea where your niece is likely to have sought refuge?"
12509Have you those sheets of unfinished writing which were found in Robert Turold''s study?"
12509Have you told Sisily?"
12509He asked himself with aching heart what was to be the outcome of it all?
12509He asked me once, did I believe in ghosts?
12509He brought it out abruptly--"And what about your daughter?"
12509He brought it out abruptly--"Has anything been seen of Miss Sisily?"
12509He glanced up expectantly, and his lips formed one word--"Well?"
12509How can he have come back?
12509How could I know that unless I''d seen her?"
12509How could a rough seaman like himself, who could hardly write his own name, turn the stones into the large sum of money they represented?
12509How did it happen?
12509How did the man of parchments take it?"
12509How did ye get away from the island?"
12509How far away is this place?"
12509How had he found out the two facts?
12509How long has this man been in your brother''s employ?"
12509How often must I tell you that he is dead?"
12509How was he to instil belief that he spoke the truth?
12509How, then, could you have killed Robert?
12509I work for the Duchy, I do, which is almost the same as being in Guvverment, ai n''t it?
12509I''m to say what you want to save it?
12509If I fail-- if I do not come back... you will understand?"
12509If he had been murdered, as in the first flush of her indignation she had declared, who had killed him?
12509If he was not a detective, why was he watching him?
12509If it was not Thalassa, who could it have been?
12509If so, how did she escape from the room and leave the door locked inside?
12509Is it logical to suppose that he would terminate all these plans and ambitions by destroying himself?
12509Is she mistaken in you, Thalassa?
12509Is she upstairs in her room, Robert?"
12509Is that it?"
12509Is that plain enough?"
12509Is that what brought you here?"
12509Is there anything wrong?"
12509It crumbled his worldliness to ashes, flooded his heart with vain regret, found utterance at last in the whispered words--"How am I to tell my son?"
12509It was a house, and it was furnished; what more was necessary?
12509It was dusk, and she could not see my face, but she heard my startled exclamation--''Married?
12509Jasper, where''s the tray?..."
12509Life had receded from us-- what had we to do with its fever, its regrets, its passions and futile joys?
12509Like other young men he wanted plenty of money for women and grog-- what else, he asked, could a man get for money that was worth having?
12509May I ask the reason of these questions, Detective Barrant?"
12509Oh, can not they believe that?
12509Once more, will you tell me the truth?"
12509One more question he essayed--"Can you tell me where Miss Turold is to be found?"
12509Ought I to go down?
12509Prospector''s license-- a_ schurfschein_?
12509Pursill?"
12509Really, Detective Barrant, may I constrain you to give me some explanation of all this?
12509Safe?
12509Should she hide somewhere?
12509So I just says to her,''Good ebenin'', miss, are you waitin''for the wagonette too?''
12509So I leant across to her an''says,''Caan''t you say a word, miss?
12509Suppose it was her husband, after all?
12509Surely that is enough?"
12509Thalassa knew more than he had yet revealed, but what did he know?
12509Thalassa''s brown cheek paled slightly, but he answered quickly and roughly--"What nonsense are you talking now?
12509Thalassa?"
12509That read like the advertisement of a Cheapside tailor-- what was a gentlemanly appearance, if he had it?
12509That sneer roused the official in him, and it was in a curt tone of command that he said--"What time did your son get home on the day of the murder?"
12509That''s rather a cynical name for a Cornish inn, is n''t it?"
12509That''s the formula, is n''t it, or something to that effect?
12509The back way?
12509The detective looked at him with a cautious air:"Why do you ask that?"
12509The door was partly opened, and Thalassa''s voice from within parleyed:"Who''s there?"
12509The great point is-- where are the proofs?
12509The lamp and the footstep-- what did they mean?
12509The older man could picture Barrant thinking to himself:"This man before me-- how far is he involved in this?"
12509The point is, is it suspicious enough to upset the theory of suicide?
12509The police were searching for him?
12509The question remained, what was to be done?
12509Then, as Charles remained silent, he went on--"How did you find out about the marks on your uncle''s arm?"
12509These were facts which could not be gainsaid, but where did they lead?
12509This servant with the strange name-- Thalassa, is it?"
12509To secure the revolver to shoot him?
12509To see Thalassa, as he said, in order to try and get at the truth?
12509To whom?''
12509Turold?"
12509Was Austin aware of the contents of the will?
12509Was Charles dead?
12509Was he a detective?
12509Was he afraid?
12509Was he going to go back to her penniless?
12509Was he in to supper?"
12509Was he to fail, now, after finding Sisily?
12509Was he?
12509Was his idea to destroy the will?
12509Was it conceivable that Robert Turold would break off in the middle of a sentence, in the middle of a word, and shoot himself?
12509Was it grief for his wife?"
12509Was it really his daughter?
12509Was it the attitude of a man who had committed suicide?
12509Was my brother quite dead when you found him?"
12509Was n''t that enough?"
12509Was n''t there an eyesight test or something like that for officers of the law?
12509Was that pure guesswork on your part?
12509Was there some trap about it, some danger to himself?
12509Were they real, or had she imagined them?
12509Were they?
12509What about the key?"
12509What are you making that noise for?"
12509What can I tell you?"
12509What can you tell me about it?"
12509What danger?
12509What did Charles Turold know?
12509What did she know of the mysterious events that had happened in that silent house?
12509What did she suspect?
12509What did that diabolical female know, really?
12509What did these things mean, and what was to be the end?
12509What did you find when you returned?
12509What do you fear?"
12509What do you mean?"
12509What do you think of it?"
12509What does a happy lover want with diamonds?''
12509What does it all mean?"
12509What does it all mean?"
12509What does it signify if it was five minutes fast or slow?"
12509What does that mean-- now?"
12509What else is there to say, when she''s told you everything?"
12509What had brought him back?
12509What had brought the clock down, and why had Robert Turold fallen almost on top of it, his outstretched hands resting on the dial?
12509What had he to say about hood clocks?
12509What had made it flare up like that and go out?
12509What had the police discovered about him?
12509What happened afterwards?
12509What happened during that interview?
12509What inference was to be drawn from that?
12509What is Justice?
12509What is her name?"
12509What is human retribution to the ferocity of Time''s revenge on us all?
12509What is it that you will not tell?
12509What is the object of this visit?
12509What is this shameful secret to which you refer?"
12509What name, please?"
12509What other chance have we of finding out the hideous mystery of that night?
12509What sent your wife mad?
12509What sort of a big box?
12509What terrible experience had befallen her?
12509What then?
12509What then?
12509What took Robert Turold to the clock in his dying moments?
12509What took place in that brief yet vital space of time?
12509What was he to do now?
12509What was his share in the business?
12509What was the explanation of the letter?
12509What was the good of his own efforts to help her?
12509What was the meaning of it all-- of this latest scene in particular?
12509What was there in life to laugh over at any time?
12509What was to happen then?
12509What was to prevent him getting the diamonds on his own account, without sharing with anybody?
12509What were they doing?
12509What were they, Sisily?"
12509What will?"
12509What would happen then?
12509What''s that got to do with it?
12509When I grip you firmly, as I do now, you can feel my fingers pressing their whole length on your flesh, can you not?"
12509When he found him, but where was he to be found?
12509Where about?
12509Where are the proofs?"
12509Where could she go?
12509Where had they gone to?
12509Where has he gone?"
12509Where to commence?
12509Where was Jasper, and why did he not return?
12509Where was Thalassa?
12509Where was his wife?
12509Where was she?
12509Where was the nearest pillar box?
12509Where was the necessity, after what I told you?
12509Where were these diamonds?
12509Where''s the supper tray?"
12509Where, then, were they to look for hope?
12509Where?
12509Who can explain this?
12509Who could have dropped it there except you?"
12509Who could have foreseen this tragic event?"
12509Who could it be?
12509Who else but Englishmen would order Bass beer at five shillings a bottle in a God- forsaken place like that?
12509Who had gone to the lonely old house in the darkness of the night, and struck him down?
12509Who is to judge when the scales are even?
12509Who was likely to be prowling round Flint House in a storm-- except myself?
12509Who would believe my story-- or yours?
12509Who''d a''believed me?
12509Who?"
12509Who?"
12509Why are you so elementary?
12509Why did I not know of this before?
12509Why did Robert go to the clock?
12509Why did he want to bring two strangers into the business?
12509Why did you think about that?"
12509Why did you want to see my son?"
12509Why do n''t you look what yer doin''when givin''up yer ticket?
12509Why do you ask?"
12509Why had she not come to him with her story, and asked for money to shut her mouth?
12509Why had she not waited to make sure that she was followed?
12509Why in the name of heaven had this Brierly woman been such a fool?
12509Why indeed?
12509Why not go to them?"
12509Why should I look at a lot of fat old wommen?
12509Why should Robert commit suicide?
12509Why should a man who spent half his lifetime putting together a clock presume to tell his fellow creatures to make the most of the passing hour?
12509Why should your father''s death have made you more anxious to go?
12509Why was she sobbing and snivelling downstairs now, when it was too late?
12509Why were they so silent?
12509Why were those women in the next compartment laughing like hyenas?
12509Will you be at your hotel?"
12509Will you come?"
12509Would it help Sisily if he gave himself up and told all he knew?
12509Would such a clock require much adjustment?"
12509Would they help?
12509Would you consider him a man of suicidal tendencies?"
12509You are quite sure you can not form any idea where she has gone?"
12509You heard what my brother said this afternoon?"
12509You said the house was locked up for the night, I think?"
12509You think you''ll fit a rope round my neck?
12509You were busy in the coal cellar at the time, I think you said?"
12509You were playing patience-- the game you have just shown me?"
12509You will not refuse to take charge of her, Constance, because of this disclosure?"
12509You''ll have your supper up here, I suppose?"
12509and calling her to him?
12509asked something within him mockingly,"Where would she dare go, except to you?"
12509dead?"
12509he hoarsely exclaimed, pointing,"what''s that?"
12509he said, then--''Did you get the diamonds?''
12509he said--''what has brought you here at this hour?''
12509she does n''t improve with age,"he growled; then, louder:"What''s the matter with you?
30542About two, I suppose?
30542According to what canons of beauty, I wonder?
30542And now?
30542And why?
30542But have you forgotten-- what you came for?
30542By the bye, what was your college?
30542Could not a friend there do some good for you?
30542Dearest, can you take a short holiday? 30542 Did he love you?"
30542Did he pay you back?
30542Did you ever tell-- your husband that you loved him?
30542Do I count for no one?
30542Do n''t you know that I am almost ruined? 30542 Do you know that man is driving me slowly mad?
30542Do you know that you made me wretchedly nervous? 30542 Do you mean to say that you are offering me the principal part in a play of yours-- at the Pall Mall-- with Fergusson?"
30542Do you mind opening the window?
30542Do you think a woman is like that?
30542Have you come, Mr. Matravers,he asked coldly,"to make your peace?"
30542Have you no friends then, or relations who will help you?
30542How could I?
30542I believe you doubt my ability, but you need not"143Do you know that man is driving me slowly mad?"
30542I have scarcely said''thank you''yet, have I?
30542I want to know whether you have arranged with your friend?
30542I was surprised,he answered;"how could I help it?
30542If we can love and be pure,he said hoarsely,"what is sin?
30542If you do n''t want to wake Mr. Matravers, will you take me up to bed, please?
30542Is it true,she asked him,"that you did not intend your play for the stage-- that you wrote it from a literary point of view only?"
30542Is it worth while recalling all these things?
30542It was unusual, perhaps,he admitted;"but who is not weary of usual things?
30542May I come in with you?
30542May I come in?
30542Must you really go? 30542 Shall I tell him home?"
30542The little boy''s mother?
30542This is your writing, is it not?
30542Was not this Lady Truton''s night?
30542Watching me?
30542What can I do?
30542What do you mean, sir?
30542What is Art but Truth? 30542 Who is there that cares?"
30542Why do n''t you speak to me? 30542 Why not?
30542Why not? 30542 Why should I lose anything?"
30542Why?
30542Will you come too?
30542Will you forgive me now,he said,"if I hurry away?
30542Will you lunch with me at my rooms on Sunday and meet her? 30542 Will you tell him?
30542Will your father be at home now?
30542Wo n''t you see me home?
30542Yes?
30542You admit her talent, then?
30542You are an invalid, too, are you not?
30542You did see his face, then?
30542You have not forgotten me, then?
30542You know Mr. Thorndyke, do n''t you? 30542 You mean it?"
30542You want what?
30542You will come and see me again-- very soon?
30542You will not bear me any ill will?
30542You wish for no more rehearsals, then?
30542After all, what good had he done?
30542Am I correct?"
30542And Matravers, why did he not speak?
30542And, I wonder,--do you take a morning paper?
30542But I can not help my views, can I?
30542But then you had very little choice, had you?"
30542But will you forgive me if I say so-- I am very sure that some day you will be a deserter?"
30542Can one do anything for women like that?
30542Can you understand me, I wonder?
30542Do n''t you hear?
30542Do n''t you regret your handiwork a little?"
30542Do n''t you understand?
30542Do n''t you?"
30542Do you doubt your love or mine?"
30542Do you realize that only the day before yesterday we passed one another here with a polite stare?"
30542Does that mean that you will not listen to me, that you mean to judge me unheard?
30542How are they to tell between the true love and the false?"
30542How is it that you are altogether alone in the world?"
30542If it was true that his pen had done her this ill turn, did he not owe her some reparation?
30542If so, will you bring it when you''ve done with it, or an old one will do?
30542If thirty seemed old to her, what must she think of him?
30542Is he asleep?
30542Is it indeed only a few hours since we parted?
30542Is my face very buggy?
30542It is a brilliant piece of satirical writing, of course, but need you have been quite so severe?
30542It is best to be truthful, is it not?
30542Matravers interrupted him with a question,--"Wo n''t your mother be frightened to see you like this?"
30542May we-- can I,"he added, glancing down the stone passage,"show you to your carriage?"
30542Oh, why do you make me humble myself so?"
30542Shall I give it up?"
30542Shall I give up Bathilde-- and the stage?
30542Shall I tell you what I have been vain enough to think sometimes?
30542Shall you mind a tiresome railway journey?
30542Should we be sinless then?"
30542Tell me, are those pure women who willingly give their souls and their bodies in marriage to men who have sinned and who will sin again?
30542That would have been worse than this, would it not?
30542To live and die old maids, whilst men became regenerated?
30542What did she require, then, of her sex?
30542What did you think of my writing to you, of my persistence?
30542What have I done to be humbled like this?"
30542What is it that you fear?
30542What is that?"
30542What is there to keep me?
30542What on earth has kindled the destructive spirit in you to such an extent?
30542What was he like?"
30542What will you have?"
30542What----""These gentlemen will bear me witness that you did say so?"
30542Why do I say these things to you, I wonder?
30542Will you come and see me?
30542Will you leave me?"
30542Will you not help me to keep it?"
30542Will you read to me for a little?
30542Will you-- shake hands?"
30542You are not in a hurry, are you?"
30542You will come and see me again-- very soon?"
30542[ Illustration:"Do you know that man is driving me slowly mad?"]
30542and if my book be not true, how can it know anything of art?
30542he murmured,"you are sure?"
30542what do you say to a walk down through the Park?
30542you did not spare it, did you?
30833A secret stairway?
30833And it has remained locked ever since?
30833At what time, precisely?
30833Beg pardon, your lordship?
30833But how were you so certain that it was_ not_ someone from outside the castle? 30833 But who says that anyone was wearing it when the button was removed?"
30833Could n''t it be Italian, my lord? 30833 Dear me,"he interrupted himself mildly,"what is that?"
30833Did you ever know him to fancy a girl who dressed in an offhand manner?
30833Did you find what you were looking for, Lord Darcy?
30833Ever see it before?
30833Ever see one like it before?
30833Eye test?
30833Father Bright,said Lord Darcy,"will the Countess be serving tea this afternoon?"
30833Four o''clock?
30833Good Heavens,Darcy muttered,"does he have something concealed behind every arras in the place?"
30833Has neither of you seen that woman before? 30833 He did lock it at night, then?"
30833How can you be certain that Lady Duncan told the truth?
30833How do you know the time so exactly?
30833How long ago was this?
30833How long will your spell keep the body incorrupt, Master Sean?
30833How true are the stories one has heard about the late Count?
30833I wonder why she went up there in the first place?
30833If you will, Reverend Sir?
30833In what way?
30833Is there any way up besides that elevator?
30833Is there anything else, your lordship? 30833 Lord in Heaven,"he said softly,"what is this?"
30833May I have my lord the Count''s keys, doctor?
30833Murder?
30833My Lord Darcy,she said, her plain face looking worried and unhappy,"is it true that you suspect Laird and Lady Duncan of this murder?
30833My lord?
30833Never?
30833No blessings, I trust, Reverend Sir?
30833No other way up or down, then?
30833No question there, eh? 30833 Now the question we have been called upon to answer is simply this: Who was responsible for the homicide?"
30833Now where''s that secret stairway you mentioned, Sir Pierre?
30833Of Scottish make?
30833Ready, Master Sean?
30833Sir Pierre, if you will?
30833So Laird Duncan has the Talent, eh? 30833 That pretty much settles it, eh, Master Sean?"
30833The door to his suite was not locked, then?
30833Then how did he get that closet full of clothes?
30833Then what was it Laird Duncan did?
30833Time?
30833Triggered to slam if a human being sticks a hand in there, eh?
30833True, Your Highness?
30833What about Laird Duncan?
30833What about guests?
30833What is it, Pierre?
30833What sort of weapon do you prefer for grouse?
30833What was it doing there?
30833When was this room last cleaned?
30833When you left, you locked the door?
30833Where is his key?
30833Where would they lead if they were open?
30833Who else has the key to the Count''s suite?
30833Who is she? 30833 Who?"
30833Why not? 30833 Will you hold the robe, Dr. Pateley?
30833Would a man be wearing that gown, my lord?
30833Yes, Your Highness?
30833You can tell that just by holding that bronze cross in your hand?
30833You did not expect it to be locked?
30833You do not deny that it is your gun, my lord?
30833You mean the picture test, my lord?
30833You''re certain?
30833You, I believe, discovered the body?
30833Your lordship knows Castle D''Evreux, then?
30833_ Evil?_My lady the Countess looked shocked.
30833A coin?
30833A little inclined to be romantic-- but are n''t we all at nineteen?
30833Am I correct, Father?"
30833As Sir Pierre unlocked the emblazoned door, Lord Darcy said:"Who else sleeps on this floor?"
30833But how could she have told the truth?
30833But how could she?
30833Can you do me a favor?"
30833Do you recognize it?
30833Does she know Laird and Lady Duncan well enough to ask for their sympathetic presence on such an afternoon as this?"
30833Eh?"
30833Forms a picture, do n''t it, my lord?
30833Had a man or a woman dropped it?
30833He wo n''t tell her that we know, will he?"
30833How long after death does the image remain?"
30833How long had it lain there?
30833How many women would have thought of simply taking off the damaged gown and putting on its duplicate from the closet?"
30833However,"--like the knight, he paused a moment before going on--"although we are aware that he was not discreet, was he particular?"
30833Lord Darcy cast Master Sean a warning look, then asked politely,"Has my lady seen the deceased?"
30833May we go up to the suite now?"
30833My lady, may Master Sean make use of that table over there?"
30833Nothing else?"
30833Now, what did you do then?"
30833Or Moorish?
30833Shall we go in together?"
30833Then, on a separate piece of paper, he wrote:"Dear John, May I suggest you hold up on this for a while?
30833There was a sudden silence, then Laird Duncan said in an angry voice:"What is this?
30833They went down perhaps four more steps before Lord Darcy asked quietly,"Tell me, Sir Pierre, were you privy to_ all_ of Count D''Evreux''s business?"
30833What about the eyes?"
30833What are we to do?"
30833Where did you get that?"
30833Where do you think you_ might_ have seen it?
30833Where had it come from?
30833Will you take me to the good Father?"
30833Would you explain to my lady the Countess why her brother could not have been killed in that manner?"
30833Yes, my lord?"
30833You did n''t give him Holy Unction, I hope?"
30833You follow, sir?
30833You see?"
30833You will be there?"
30833You''re certain the body was cold?"
30833[ Illustration]"_ Where did you get it?_"There was a dangerous quality in the Scotsman''s voice.
30833_ How could a man who was confined to a wheelchair go up that flight of stairs?_ I submit to you that it would have been physically impossible.
21891Afraid of the cops?
21891Afraid to show yourself, are you?
21891Ai n''t there anything I can do, sir?
21891Ai n''t there anything I can do, sir?
21891Ai n''t you got any idea, boss, who''s engineerin''this deal against you?
21891And now you have come to me to say that you are no longer associated with my enemies?
21891And she told the others that she would quit them if they used any more violence? 21891 And the few days before that time?"
21891And what do you suppose is going to become of you, if you refuse to do as I say?
21891And what evidence would he have?
21891And what particular person am I accused of murdering?
21891And where is the motive?
21891And who furnished it?
21891And why Rufus Shepley?
21891And yet you ask why others should seek to punish you? 21891 And you did just what the letter told you?"
21891And you did n''t urge him to leave New York and remain away for the rest of his life?
21891And you fell for it? 21891 And you live to tell it?
21891And you went up to him and threatened him, did n''t you?
21891And, if they are?
21891Any idea where the message came from?
21891Any vacant apartments up there?
21891Anything I can do for you, sir?
21891Anything else lead you to believe you might have enemies?
21891Anything for us to do?
21891Anything new?
21891Anything the matter?
21891Are they rich?
21891Are you Sidney Prale?
21891Are you a fighter, or a quitter?
21891Are you going to stay here long, Sid?
21891Are-- are you insane?
21891As Coadley, the attorney, did?
21891Back to earth, are you?
21891Because of the absurd charge against me? 21891 Been down in Honduras all that time?"
21891Been thinking it over, Sid? 21891 But in Heaven''s name, why?
21891But the same difficulty holds good-- why? 21891 But what did Mr. Prale ever do to get such a bunch down on him?"
21891But what does it all mean?
21891But why on earth should she be taking a hand in my affairs?
21891But why suspect me of the crime?
21891But why? 21891 But, why?"
21891But, why?
21891By the way, who is this man who goes too far and insists upon using violence? 21891 Ca n''t you explain what it means?"
21891Can anybody overhear what I say to you?
21891Can you not remember back ten years?
21891Can you suggest some investments? 21891 Captain,"said the hotel man,"do I have to sit here and be insulted by a man charged with a heinous crime?"
21891Care to tell me where you went and what you did?
21891Children?
21891Did I make some sort of a mistake, sir? 21891 Did Jim Farland tell you the story?"
21891Did he wreck the national treasury or turn traitor to the flag?
21891Did n''t Lerton explain to you?
21891Did n''t suspect anybody?
21891Did n''t you tell me that you did n''t want anything to do with me and my money?
21891Did they say that?
21891Did you ever stop to think that maybe I wanted to be captured and hauled here? 21891 Did you happen to_ play_ cards?"
21891Did you have me brought here to argue the case with me?
21891Did you not hint that the purpose was something sinister-- that you were going to have revenge, or something like that?
21891Did you pick up a fountain pen of mine after I had gone?
21891Did you?
21891Disgusted generally with your lot?
21891Do I like it? 21891 Do n''t do what?"
21891Do n''t know anything about her, I suppose?
21891Do n''t you know me, Sid?
21891Do they get much mail and have many visitors?
21891Do you know anything in particular about her?
21891Does n''t that make ordinary dirty work look rather pale?
21891Does n''t that open up possibilities?
21891Does she know Murk by sight?
21891Either of you guests here?
21891Ever have any business with him?
21891Ever see this man before?
21891For my good? 21891 Friends or relatives?"
21891Getting along all right?
21891Go straight to your hotel?
21891Go to your hotel then?
21891Goin''to pull rough stuff, are you?
21891Gosh, Mr. Prale, ai n''t there anybody but cops in this town?
21891Got an appointment?
21891Got an idea you own the whole Park, or something like that? 21891 Got it with you?"
21891Got the first one on the ship, did you?
21891Had an idea it came from some boss, did n''t you?
21891Hard to make a living?
21891Has my office been turned into a rendezvous for maniacs?
21891Have n''t seen New York for ten years?
21891He could do nothing except tell it to Prale-- and Prale knows it already, does n''t he?
21891He has led you to believe that?
21891Here between ten thirty and a quarter of eleven, was he?
21891His name, please?
21891His story corresponds with the one I told you, does n''t it? 21891 How about George Lerton?"
21891How about that fountain pen found beside the body?
21891How about this man?
21891How can I believe that?
21891How can you do the impossible, sir?
21891How come it was found beside the body?
21891How could you ever be sure of me?
21891How do I know that?
21891How do you like working with a detective now?
21891How do you mean?
21891How do you mean?
21891How is that for a dirty deal, Murk?
21891How long are you going to keep me tied up like this?
21891How long did you remain there?
21891How long did you talk to him?
21891How long has he been away from New York?
21891How long have they lived here?
21891How many are there in the family, and who are they, and what do you know about them?
21891How much?
21891How old are you?
21891I beg your pardon?
21891I do not wish you to address me again-- do you understand, sir? 21891 I suppose that you are glad to get home?"
21891I suppose you are still on the force? 21891 I''m not accusing you of doing anything wrong, am I?
21891I-- what do you mean, sir? 21891 If I showed you a corner where you would fit in, would you be loyal?
21891If I threw down Mr. Prale, would n''t I be liable to throw you down, if somebody happened along and raised the price? 21891 If so, who is guilty?"
21891If there is anything I can do, Mr. Farland----"Do you suppose you could tell the truth?
21891In danger from what?
21891In my note?
21891In what way?
21891Is he old or young?
21891Is n''t that enough to make you worry a bit?
21891It does look bad, does n''t it?
21891Know anything about a woman calling herself Kate Gilbert?
21891Know anything about him that might cause him serious trouble if you talked?
21891Know this man?
21891Know this man?
21891Know this man?
21891Know where you are?
21891Like him, do you?
21891Long? 21891 May I ask, then, why you desire to leave the case?"
21891May I be of assistance to you when we land?
21891Me work with a cop?
21891Meaning against his influential enemies, or on the Rufus Shepley murder case?
21891Meaning what, Murk?
21891Meet anybody there?
21891Meet him accidentally?
21891Miss Gilbert?
21891Miss Kate Gilbert there?
21891Mr. Lerton busy?
21891Mr. Prale in?
21891Murder, a little scrape?
21891Murder? 21891 Nasty, ai n''t you?
21891No? 21891 Now what the deuce does this mean?"
21891Oh, he''s busy, eh? 21891 Oh, you admit that, do you?"
21891Others?
21891Pay for them?
21891Picked your hotel?
21891Powerful enemies? 21891 Reasonable about what?"
21891Remember a little deal a couple of years ago?
21891See anybody else pick it up?
21891Shepley follow you?
21891Sid, have you told me everything?
21891Sir?
21891So Kate Gilbert had you freed, did she?
21891So he has told you that he does n''t know why he has enemies?
21891So he lied, too, did he?
21891So it was then that I was supposed to have done this terrible thing-- whatever it was?
21891So you have an alibi for Sidney, have you? 21891 So you know that I wrote them, do you?
21891So you merely shook hands and renewed your acquaintance?
21891So you think you know me, do you?
21891So you will not work for us?
21891So, when I went away ten years ago, you sold out Mr. Griffin and put the blame for it on me, did you? 21891 Sore at existence, eh?"
21891Strong for him, are you?
21891Stronger? 21891 Suppose I refuse to make this deal with you?"
21891Suppose I take a notion not to go?
21891Suppose,said Sidney Prale,"that you tell me, first, why I am under arrest?
21891Ten years ago you were a clerk in the office of Griffin, the big broker, were you not?
21891Ten years in Honduras, were you? 21891 That letter told you to go to police headquarters, if requested to do so, and deny you knew this man, did n''t it?
21891That right, Sid?
21891That''s interesting, is n''t it? 21891 The fight?"
21891Then where do you want me to meet you-- and when? 21891 Then why did you do what the letter told you to do?"
21891Then you are making this fight for personal reasons?
21891Then you do not wish to be fair?
21891Then you have n''t any other interest in this business? 21891 Then you think that you have a good reason for withdrawing?"
21891There''s a party living in your place who goes by the name of Gilbert, is n''t there?
21891They get to drifting, eh? 21891 They live on the third floor, do n''t they?"
21891Think I''m going to desert you at this stage of the game? 21891 Think I''m going to let some man who does n''t tell me his name throw a scare into me?"
21891Think she is n''t a decent woman?
21891Threaten me, will you?
21891Trying to run a bluff on me? 21891 Trying to see how far you can go and keep out of jail?"
21891Want me to do the spy act, do you?
21891Want to see me about something special this morning?
21891Was n''t that a peculiar thing to do at that hour of the night?
21891Well, Jim?
21891Well, Sid, Coadley got you out of jail and home before I could get here, did he?
21891Well, boss, how about your fountain pen?
21891Well, how do you like me?
21891Well, sir?
21891Well, what about it?
21891Well, what about it?
21891Well, what happened?
21891Well, what have you to suggest?
21891Well, what is it?
21891Well, what is the proposition?
21891Well, what''s all this about?
21891Well, what''s the use of livin''?
21891Well, why are they goin''to do all this?
21891Well, why do n''t you tell me, then? 21891 Well?"
21891Well?
21891Went away rather sudden, did n''t you?
21891Went straight to Honduras and stayed there for ten years, eh?
21891What about it?
21891What about that?
21891What about the money?
21891What about, sir?
21891What are you going to do next?
21891What do you mean by that, Murk?
21891What do you mean by that?
21891What do you mean, Mr. Farland? 21891 What do you mean?"
21891What do you want me to do, boss?
21891What do you want me to do?
21891What do you want to know?
21891What else?
21891What for?
21891What happened after you went to bed?
21891What happened then?
21891What has all this to do with me?
21891What has put such an idea into your head?
21891What is Jim Farland, the detective, doing? 21891 What is it that you wish me to do?"
21891What is it, Murk?
21891What is it?
21891What is the meaning of this intrusion?
21891What of that?
21891What on earth do you mean by this? 21891 What shall I order, sir?"
21891What sort of a deal?
21891What time did you get back to your hotel with him?
21891What time did you reach the hotel?
21891What time was it when you met him?
21891What time was it when you parted from Lerton?
21891What will it avail us to make Prale''s life miserable?
21891What''s all this?
21891What''s that?
21891What''s that?
21891What''s the idea of treating me rough like this?
21891What''s the idea?
21891What''s the row here, anyway?
21891What''s the trouble now?
21891What''s your name?
21891What''s your particular grievance against the world in general?
21891What''s your scheme?
21891What?
21891What?
21891When did you get in?
21891When did you see him last night, and where, and what happened?
21891When did you see him next?
21891When?
21891Where is home?
21891Where?
21891Which corner, Murk?
21891Who are these enemies, and why are they after my scalp?
21891Who are you and where did you come from?
21891Who are you-- the chief thug?
21891Who did it, boss? 21891 Who else is in the family?"
21891Who has a better right to hope to see Sidney Prale punished? 21891 Who is calling, please?"
21891Who is handling this campaign of vengeance against me now?
21891Who left first?
21891Who left this note for me?
21891Who paid for them?
21891Who would testify that he was telling the truth? 21891 Why are you so eager to have me run away?"
21891Why are you working for these people?
21891Why ask, Miss Gilbert?
21891Why ca n''t they lay their schemes in the daytime?
21891Why did the banker and hotel manager lie?
21891Why did the clothing- store man and the barber lie? 21891 Why did you kill Rufus Shepley?"
21891Why did you kill Rufus Shepley?
21891Why do you want me to run away?
21891Why not ask him?
21891Why not fight it out?
21891Why not? 21891 Why not?"
21891Why on earth are you looking at me like that? 21891 Why on earth should I care whether he remains in New York or takes his million dollars elsewhere?"
21891Why regret?
21891Why should I do that?
21891Why should I? 21891 Why should he say such a thing?"
21891Why should n''t I? 21891 Why should you ask me to believe such a statement?"
21891Why should you be accused of murder? 21891 Why, how is that?"
21891Why?
21891Why?
21891Why?
21891Why?
21891Willing to help me out in a little matter if I forget about that gambling?
21891Wo n''t you go away, Sid?
21891Yes; but what on earth could it be?
21891Yes; do n''t those things bear out my statement about the powerful enemies?
21891You are Jim Farland, a detective?
21891You are going to remain in New York?
21891You are officers?
21891You are settled and feeling at home?
21891You been behaving yourself lately?
21891You ca n''t make a tar brush black, sir?
21891You could n''t get any sort of an explanation out of him?
21891You did n''t meet him?
21891You did, eh?
21891You do n''t know where he came from?
21891You felt grateful to Mr. Prale for giving you a job and a home, did n''t you?
21891You have my address, have n''t you? 21891 You have n''t been working for Sidney Prale very long, have you?"
21891You know about Sidney Prale being in a bit of trouble, of course?
21891You know this man?
21891You made a million in ten years with a capital of ten thousand?
21891You mean my real name? 21891 You mean to sit there and tell me that you did n''t talk to me on Fifth Avenue last night?"
21891You mean to tell me that you are not anxious to better yourself, to get along in the world?
21891You mean you do n''t want me to leave my money in your bank?
21891You recognize it?
21891You say that you first met Rufus Shepley aboard the_ Manatee_?
21891You speak of honor-- you? 21891 You understand our little deal thoroughly?"
21891You want to let the fellow go?
21891You want to see somebody in the house?
21891You wished to speak to me about something in particular?
21891You''d rather work for Sidney Prale, would you? 21891 You''re in wrong in this deal; see?
21891You''re sure you handed Mr. Griffin my card?
21891You-- you''re not going back?
21891A drifter, are you?"
21891Afraid you''ll lose a few customers and a few dollars, by standing by your cousin, are you?
21891Am I arrested?"
21891And I want to know who paid you to do it-- understand?"
21891And does n''t it show that I could not have murdered Rufus Shepley at eleven o''clock last night?"
21891And how did my fountain pen get into Shepley''s room?"
21891And now-- you want a lawyer, I suppose?"
21891And what do you intend doing now?"
21891And what is it you''re tryin''to do to him?
21891And where did you go next?"
21891And why had the misnamed Marie glared at him, and expressed loathing and anger when her eyes met his?
21891And you managed to win out?
21891And you want to get square with the man who called you a dog, do n''t you?"
21891And, being a man of that sort, why did he say that he would n''t handle Prale''s funds?
21891Are you going to work for us?"
21891Are you insane?"
21891Are you quite sure that the Sidney Prale of to- day is the boyish, friendly Sidney Prale of ten years ago?"
21891Are you trying to insinuate that I killed the man as the outcome of a gambling quarrel?"
21891Are you willing?"
21891Be ungrateful to Griffin?
21891Business enemies?"
21891But I do n''t want you to make a get- away while I''m guarding you-- see?
21891But are you going to keep right on being friendly?"
21891But how about the murder case?
21891But how can I help you?
21891But this other thing is----""Ca n''t you explain?
21891But we want to find out about this enemy business, too, do n''t we?"
21891But why should everybody have it in for you?"
21891But why should he try to get Prale out of town?
21891But why should you send them to me?"
21891But, what''s the use?"
21891Ca n''t I take a hand?"
21891Ca n''t you see it?
21891Ca n''t you tell me anything?"
21891Can you imagine what I''d do to a man who double crossed me?"
21891Can you make it this evening?"
21891Can you suggest one?"
21891Can you understand now, Sidney Prale?
21891Did he make an appointment?"
21891Did you get a typewritten letter this morning, with a wad of money in it?"
21891Do n''t you suppose I got some common sense?"
21891Do we?"
21891Do you believe that influential persons would persecute him if he did not deserve it?"
21891Do you call that an example of the square deal?"
21891Do you care to say anything more?"
21891Do you expect to run a barber shop by day and a gambling joint by night all your life?"
21891Do you know what I think?
21891Do you think I am a sinner of some sort, Murk?"
21891Do you think Sid Prale is guilty of that crime?"
21891Do you think that I am a weak, silly woman ready to be hoodwinked by lies?"
21891Do you wish me to think that you are under the thumbs of these persons, whoever they may be?"
21891Do you wish me to understand, Mr. Coadley, that they have been to see you?
21891Does Rufus Shepley, forced to run here and there around the old world in the name of business, like it when he gets the chance to return to New York?
21891Does n''t it look peculiar to you?"
21891Farland?"
21891Farland?"
21891Get me?"
21891Get me?"
21891Give my enemies a chance?
21891Had Kate Gilbert gone to Honduras to watch him?
21891Had Kate Gilbert written that message about retribution and had her maid leave it in the stateroom?
21891Had Kate Gilbert written that single word and had her maid paste it on his suit case as he passed, or pasted it there herself?
21891Had Shepley picked it up later and carried it home with him?
21891Had a good job with old Griffin, did n''t you?"
21891Had a reputable citizen any rights, he demanded?
21891Had he dropped it in the hotel lobby during his short quarrel with Shepley, while he was shaking the man?
21891Had the journey because of ill health been a subterfuge?
21891Has Sidney Prale said anything you have been able to hear about the enemies who are bothering him?
21891Has that cousin of mine been acting up again, or are you going to pester me with a lot of fool questions about things I do n''t know anything about?"
21891Have you any idea how many men watched and trailed us?
21891Home''s in New York, eh?
21891How about some place in Riverside Park?"
21891How and where had he lost it, and how had it come into Shepley''s suite?
21891How can I help if I ai n''t wise?"
21891How can I work this thing out when I do n''t even know where to start?
21891How could they have contemplated hanging that crime on me when they did not know but that I had a perfect alibi?
21891How did he know I was going to make an alibi like that?"
21891How far will you go?"
21891How have the years been using you?
21891How long have you been wearing the alfalfa on your face?"
21891How on earth could it have come there?
21891How''d you make the coin?"
21891How''s business?"
21891I found out where you are stopping----""Why did n''t you come to the hotel, then, or leave a note?"
21891If I am supposed to know all about this, what harm can there be in your repeating the details to me?
21891If she had, what was the reason for it?
21891If you came to my office, I''d refuse to see you----""Why?"
21891Is it fair to Jim Farland''s wife and child?"
21891Is that it?
21891Is there any way in which I can get you to stop your work for him?"
21891It''s true about the million?"
21891Know any reason why anybody should be out after you?"
21891Know the gentleman?"
21891Know this man?"
21891Married?"
21891Murk?"
21891Of what crime am I accused?"
21891On me?"
21891Ought to dock before noon, do n''t you think?"
21891Powerful enemies, have I?
21891Prale?"
21891Prale?"
21891Prale?"
21891Prale?"
21891Say, would you consider being general manager of one of my companies?
21891See her?
21891Shepley?"
21891Shepley?"
21891So George Lerton has been causing you all this trouble, has he?
21891So that is why I was treated so badly upon returning to my home?"
21891So you came back with a million, eh?"
21891So you must be my man, understand?"
21891Still fussing around down in the financial district watching for swindlers?"
21891Still working in a broker''s office?"
21891Sure about the time?"
21891Sure he''s loyal to you?"
21891That is satisfactory?
21891Trying to drown yourself, were you?
21891Understand?
21891Understand?"
21891Was Griffin at home?
21891We do not want to give him an advantage, do we?
21891We''re beginning to get in, are n''t we?
21891Well, we are going to get him out of it, are n''t we?"
21891Were the big financiers of New York insane?
21891Were the police to be allowed to throw an innocent man into jail simply because there had been a crime committed and somebody had to be accused?
21891What are you doing for yourself, George?
21891What are you trying to do, Sid?
21891What could have happened to make the man change his mind and attitude?
21891What could she or any of her people have against me?"
21891What crazy joke is this?"
21891What did Farland have to say?"
21891What did George Lerton know that he refused to tell?
21891What did you do last night, Murk?"
21891What do you know about George Lerton?"
21891What do you want to talk about first?"
21891What does it say?"
21891What harm can he do?"
21891What has he reported to Prale?"
21891What interest could Kate Gilbert, a casual acquaintance and reputed daughter of a wealthy house, have in him and his affairs?
21891What is it now?
21891What is it to be?"
21891What is money?"
21891What on earth is the matter with you?
21891What should I do now?"
21891What time is it?"
21891What''s the difference?"
21891Where do you suppose these things came from?"
21891Who could have stuck it there-- and why?
21891Who has suffered more than I and mine?
21891Who is talking?"
21891Who is the man who seems to be so extraordinary vindictive toward me in this affair?"
21891Who''s got it in for Mr. Prale, and why?
21891Why ask foolish questions?"
21891Why did George Lerton declare that he did not see me and speak to me last night?
21891Why did you kill Rufus Shepley and then try to hang the crime on your cousin, Sidney Prale?"
21891Why did you lie?"
21891Why do n''t you quit that man Prale and get a real job with a gentleman?
21891Why had George Lerton been so eager to destroy his cousin''s alibi?
21891Why had Griffin refused to see him?
21891Why had he as good as been ordered out of the hotel?
21891Why had the banker acted in such a peculiar fashion?
21891Why had the clothing merchant and the barber lied?
21891Why have you done this thing?
21891Why not join forces, Murk?"
21891Why prolong it?"
21891Why should Kate Gilbert wish to know where he was going to stop?
21891Why should men tell lies about you?"
21891Why should the dragon be incensed with him?
21891Why should there be powerful enemies?
21891Why should you, and others, be so eager to run me out of New York?"
21891Why was George Lerton trying to have Sidney Prale sent to the electric chair for murder?
21891Why, it would make me a sort of accessory, would n''t it?
21891Why, then, had George Lerton told a falsehood about meeting Prale and talking to him, when the truth would have helped to establish an alibi?
21891Why?
21891Why?"
21891Will you be kind enough to listen to me for a moment now?"
21891Will you help me?"
21891Will you send for him?"
21891Will you talk, then?"
21891Would such a woman be traveling for her health and leave behind her at home an old father who was an invalid?
21891Would you stand by me, help me fight if it was necessary, and all that?"
21891You are afraid to tell me because I may inform him of what you say, and we may straighten out the tangle?
21891You are going to fight, are you?
21891You ca n''t defame me before other men----""Defame you?"
21891You do n''t want me to be an ungrateful pup, do you?
21891You got anything more to say to me about this?"
21891You had no trouble with Mr. Shepley on the ship-- no trouble of any sort?"
21891You have n''t an idea who your enemies are?"
21891You know I wrote the notes, do you?
21891You know how it is?"
21891You mean to say that he has any sort of an alibi at all?"
21891You want me to be within hailin''distance in case you need help?"
21891You would n''t want to stay in the apartment and bother them, would you?"
21891You''re sure about that Jim Farland, boss?"
28595A ten- pound note, sir?
28595And I am to do nothing meanwhile?
28595And I was buying a car?
28595And my wages----?
28595And where should I go, Britten?
28595And your room?
28595Another tyre gone-- what do I pay you wages for? 28595 Are you comfortable at the inn, Britten?"
28595Are you going back to Sandwich?
28595Are you stopping here for the lady, or do you want to get back to Paris?
28595As good as to say you''ll walk straight out of here and give me up?
28595Britten,he asked,"are you all ready?"
28595Britten,he said presently-- and his voice had changed, I thought--"Britten, would you like a whisky and soda?"
28595Britten,he said quite plain,"you know why I''ve come down here?"
28595Britten,she says, almost like a play- actress on the stage of a theatre,"Britten, do you know what happened last night?"
28595But I want to know, Maisa?
28595But my husband-- my dear husband?
28595But you have had experience with steam cars----"How did you know that, sir?
28595But, madame, is there any need to ask the old gentleman''s permission? 28595 But,"cried I,"is n''t it your lordship''s house?"
28595Coachman be d----d,says I;"has n''t Pentonville taught you no better manners than that?
28595Could I-- oh, my godfathers----"Then you have handled fast cars?
28595Could you drive a car like that?
28595Could you drive this car a little way on the road to Italy?
28595Do I drive to the front door-- I''m thinking not?
28595Do n''t you see that I am Miss Phyllis More? 28595 Do you know her?"
28595Do you know who you''ve been trotting about the country?
28595Do you mean that your husband must come here, madame?
28595Do you mean to say you did it for an advertisement?
28595Do you think I''ll serve with a man who sent policemen after his best customers? 28595 Do you want me to treat you as I''ve treated him?
28595Does n''t my whole future depend on our success, Britten?
28595Especially where the ladies are concerned?
28595Good- morning, constable,says he,"and what can I do for you?"
28595Good- morning,says he, nodding affably enough; and then,"You are Lionel Britten, I suppose?"
28595Halloa, and what''s taken your fancy in these parts?
28595He did n''t give no instructions about the car?
28595He will send for you, unless you like to see Mr. Walter in the meantime?
28595Her name?
28595Here''s my car and there''s the street,said I;"will you drive to Richmond Road and see the house for yourself or will you not?
28595Here, you,he cried, as I drew up,"who have you got in that car?"
28595His lordship-- do you mean Lord Crossborough?
28595How can you ask such a thing?
28595How far are we going, miss?
28595How long can you hold on?
28595How strong''s your roof?
28595Hunting, did you say, sir?
28595I beg your pardon, sir?
28595I wo n''t have his dabe in it-- but I''ll tell him about her directly I get the chadce, and she wo n''t be long in his house, dow will she?
28595I''m going to Lord Badington''s,says he, with a roar of laughter,"why not?
28595In whose car?
28595Is it Portman Square now?
28595Is it a young lady?
28595Is there any law in France that can turn you out, madame?
28595It was only a dream, of course-- aren''t they real sometimes, Ferdy? 28595 Larst time,"he said presently,"larst time she dropped one or two at Cannes, I''m thinking---- But, Lord love me, what''s that?"
28595More like from Scotland Yard in these times,says I;"why should you ask me that?"
28595Mr. Walter-- and who may Mr. Walter be?
28595None that I can think of, unless----"Unless what, madame?
28595Now, which do you prefer?
28595Now, who are you making game of?
28595Now, wo n''t you take these for luck? 28595 Oh,"he remarked, in a dreamy kind of way,"which one?"
28595Oh,says I,"then Miss Davenport is coming, is she?"
28595Party of the dabe of Miss More-- is she sdaying in this house?
28595Shall we make a truce, Britten?
28595Taxi yourself,says I,"and what asylum have you escaped out of?"
28595That''s Lord Crossborough''s house, is n''t it?
28595The rope-- where did you carry it?
28595Then what''s the good of going there, if you''re not invited?
28595Then you''re alone, my dear?
28595To Colchester?
28595Unless the mountain will come to Mahomet-- but I guess you do n''t know what that means, Britten, now do you?
28595Up you get, my boy,he cried, throwing all disguise to the winds,"Do n''t you hear that noise?
28595Vous- êtes en panne, mon ami?
28595Well,I rejoined, knowing that my safety depended upon my wits,"and what if I am?
28595What did you dream, Maisa?
28595What do you want, my man?
28595What has happened to us?
28595What if she''s going over by the night mail?
28595What''s all this, Sergeant Joyce?
28595What''s up, matey?
28595What''s up?
28595Whatever are you saying, Britten?
28595Whed did you say she started off?
28595Where are we, Britten?
28595Where are your eyes?
28595Where did you hear of me?
28595Where do you come from?
28595Where has that very pretty lady chosen to conceal her charms? 28595 Where have you been to?"
28595Where have you come from?
28595Where is she hiding, Britten?
28595Who is the lady, and how did she interfere with you?
28595Who says he''s in America?
28595Who sent you here?
28595Who the devil are you?
28595Why do you bring this person here?
28595Why not go to the American Consulate, madame?
28595Why should she be spiteful----?
28595Why were n''t you with the car?
28595Why would you like to drive for me?
28595Why, Britten,says she,"do you know what has happened to- day?"
28595Why, what''s up now?
28595Why,cried I,"and what''s up now?"
28595Why,says I,"that''s funny, is n''t it?
28595Why,says I,"who should I have but somebody who has a right to be there?
28595Will it take this bit of a basket all right?
28595Will it take you very long, Britten?
28595Will you forward this bit of a telegram to me from any place you chance to stop at to- night?
28595Would you care to sit on the box beside me, madame?
28595Would you mind running round to the King''s Road, Chelsea, for ten minutes? 28595 You are the new driver my father has engaged?"
28595You like your place, I hope-- you do n''t find the work too hard?
28595You wo n''t change your mind afterwards, and blame me because the car is n''t going?
28595You''re not married, Britten?
28595You''re one that knows how to hold his tongue?
28595You''re really sure that you mean this, miss?
28595--here he leered just like an actor at the Vic--"and you do n''t mind driving at night?"
28595Am I the man the police are looking for, or is it another?"
28595Am I to call again, or will he send for me?"
28595And now, what do you say to it?
28595And one thing more-- where did Mr. Jermyn get out of my car?
28595And what forbade me, you ask?
28595And why not?
28595Are n''t you an American citizen?"
28595Are you afraid to do that, Britten?"
28595Are you going to be unkind enough to tell people about it?
28595Are you listening, Britten?"
28595Are you quite sure about it, sir?"
28595Be sure I jumped up like a shot at this, and"Hallo,"cried I,"what the devil do you think you are doing?"
28595Britten?"
28595But could I?
28595But how would that help us?"
28595Ca n''t you imagine just what happened, and see the irony of it all?
28595Ca n''t you tell the chambermaid at 113 to find out?"
28595Did my father tell you that ours is a steam car?"
28595Did n''t I tell you she''d follow me to France?"
28595Did n''t you say I was going to bring you luck?"
28595Did n''t you see him sweat the night you picked us up?
28595Did they think he would put up with that?
28595Do n''t take the maid when you can get the mistress, eh?"
28595Do n''t you know Maisa Hubbard, who drove the big Panhard last autumn?"
28595Do n''t you perceive that same?"
28595Do n''t you see I must get to Sadwich to- night?
28595Do n''t you see that I''ve brought his lordship home?"
28595Do you happen to know it, by the way?"
28595Do you know, I dreamed about you last night?"
28595Do you mean to dell me you did n''t dow her?"
28595Do you remember that famous case of Lord-- but perhaps it is n''t my place to speak about that?
28595Do you suppose I came here without letting Inspector Melton know where I was coming?
28595For who do you think the maid was?
28595Good God, what had happened to them?
28595Has Mr. Walter shown you the car?"
28595Have I come for the washing, or do I drive your plate to the Bank of England?"
28595Have I not myself driven a car?
28595How could you make such a mistake, Britten?"
28595How did the girl thwart him?
28595I hope I see you well?"
28595I said"Of course he had,"for what else could I say?
28595I wonder who pays for the headstones?"
28595I''ll play the White Man with you-- do you want to get it?"
28595I''ve seen it twice in my life, and I never want to see it again-- for what man with a heart would wish to do so?
28595Is it a bargain, Britten-- have we the right to the money or have you?"
28595Is it quite impossible?"
28595Is that old cove licensed?"
28595Is there no way of getting this decision altered?"
28595Is this a round trip to see the beauties of Surrey, Mr. Moss, or do I return to my little cot after the ball is over?
28595Is this the first time they have left you alone here?"
28595Is your back lamp all right?
28595Is your name Susan, by the way?
28595It would make a line in the newspapers anyway, and who knows but what we might n''t both get engaged at the halls?"
28595Mais où donc est Madame?"
28595Moss?"
28595My God, what shall I do?"
28595No more bows and smiles after that; but what could they do, and what offence had she committed?
28595Now what do you think of that?"
28595Now will you please tell me what is the next move, miss, for I''m beginning to think I should like my supper?"
28595Now would n''t that be splendid-- say, would n''t it be fine?
28595Now, do n''t you think it is very hard upon us both?"
28595Now, do you think that you would be able to swear that the man you drove last night was very like Lord Crossborough?
28595Now, do you think you have such a bad memory as all that?"
28595Now, see here, did I try to murder that girl or did I not?
28595Now, why should n''t I be Phyllis More if I wish to?
28595Oh, is there no way?
28595Oh, my dear boy, whatever do you look like that for?"
28595Oh, what shall I do?
28595Perhaps I''d better give her a chadce of paying?"
28595Perhaps you can give us a hand with the baggage-- and say, have you any objection to gold when you ca n''t get silver?"
28595She had left a few bills behind her; but where is the woman who does not do that, and who would think the better of her if she did n''t?
28595She was wearing my long mackintosh, to be sure; but who would fail to recognise her, and what would the talk be like?
28595Should we do it or should we not?
28595So Mr. Walter''s home, is he?
28595Suppose I disappoint you this time?"
28595There were goings on in Portman Square, and no mistake about it-- and why should Lal Britten be left out in the cold?
28595They''ll give us a good bed and a good glass of whisky, anyway, and what does a man want more?
28595Was he the man he represented himself to be?
28595Was it just an idea, or had he something better to go upon?
28595Was it not all plain sailing?
28595Was n''t it clever of me to think of it?
28595Was this business with the girl, then, something which might bring trouble on us both?
28595Well, see here, now; do you want to get that five hundred, Britten, or do you not?
28595What did it mean, who was playing tricks with us, and what was the mystery?
28595What do you mean by saying there was?"
28595What is the good of being so foolish?"
28595What the devil was I going to do with her in the towns?
28595What was I to make of him, what to think of it?
28595What was against us?
28595Whatever shall I do if they never come at all?"
28595When I want to deal with you, Britten, it will be another way altogether-- cash, my boy; have you any objection to a little cash?"
28595When a man weighs fifteen stun, he does n''t like to be shaken up, Britten-- not good for his digestion, eh?
28595When she did speak I thought her voice sounded very odd; and instead of answering me she asked a question:"Do you know the road to Colchester?"
28595Where are you for?"
28595Where did you learn?"
28595Who the---- is going to pay the bill?
28595Who would have done, with Dolly St. John for his passenger?
28595Why ever did you ask me to wear them?"
28595Why had I never thought of it?
28595Why, then, think about a woman at all?"
28595Will I get the modey or wo n''t I?
28595Will you let me rest here just a little while?"
28595Will you send it through and put in the name of the place where you stop to- night?"
28595Would it be shut or open?
28595Would it be the young lady at Bristol this time, or another?
28595You think I''m going to doctor it-- same as I did Mabel''s?"
28595You wo n''t die if we do n''t get to Newmarket to- night, I suppose?"
28595You would n''t mind sitting up, I daresay, not supposing-- well, that there was a ten- pound note hanging to it?"
28595and here his face went white as a sheet,"what the devil did you go there for?"
28595he asked,"and what do you mean by coming here like this?
28595he kept asking me;"do you mean to say you can drive a woman for ted days in London and not dow her again three months afterwards?
28595if Providence set him down on such a spot as this?
28595roared Moss-- and you could have heard him on the Goodwin Sands--"Lord Badington''s married her?"
28595said I,"not Mabel Bellamy that did the disappearing trick at the Folies Bergères in Paris two years ago?"
28595says he, presently, and in so droll a way that I had to laugh in spite of myself; but before I could answer him, what do you think?
28595she asked me as we stood there;"have you come from Scotland?"
28595what do you think of that, Britten?
28595you''ve come from his house?"
27722''But were you not afraid,''I asked,''downstairs?'' 27722 ''How do you mean killed?''
27722''No,''I said, and then I stammered:''Have you?'' 27722 ''That she might follow me?
27722''What can I have done to her that she follows me so?'' 27722 ''What else?
27722''Where had I got to? 27722 ''You do n''t mean to say you saw her?''
27722''You felt her?'' 27722 ''You remember nothing else?''

27722Alive?
27722And let the-- remains over the side?
27722And now,said Saunders when he returned with the things,"what are we going to do?"
27722And now?
27722And they came back and got the''barbarian''and let_ him_ over the side, eh? 27722 And what is he looking for?"
27722And when you came here, was there a Number 13?
27722And you opened the desk?
27722And you think it was the animal that''s been frightening the maids?
27722Anything wrong with the house?
27722Are you sure?
27722But the hand could n''t write?
27722But what in the name of Heaven does it mean?
27722Can you hold it all right?
27722Can you show it me?
27722Cold?
27722Come,said the lawyer,"what have you to say, Herr Kristensen?
27722Could n''t I open the window just a little?
27722Could n''t it? 27722 Did he occupy-- these very rooms?"
27722Did n''t you ask what made''em so cheap?
27722Do you believe it?
27722Do you happen to know anything about this craft''s personal history?
27722Do you remember that Doctor Parent sent you to sleep?
27722For a purpose?
27722Has Emily left?
27722Has Mr. Saunders got back yet?
27722Have you a match?
27722He has written to you?
27722Hear what?
27722Herr Kristensen,said Jensen,"will you go and fetch the strongest servant you have in the place?
27722Hiding?
27722How are we to get it out of there?
27722How are you getting there?
27722How goes the world, Saunders? 27722 How is the world treating you?"
27722How long are you going to be away?
27722How long do you suppose elapsed between the boy''s murder and his breaking the nursery window?
27722I say,he blurted out at last,"what in the world made you ever come to this place-- to these rooms, I mean?"
27722I think you said something about a Chinaman?
27722I''ll take my oath on it, and so would Saunders here; would n''t you, old chap?
27722Is he mad?
27722Is it anyone I know?
27722Is it my uncle who is writing?
27722Is the fire laid? 27722 Is this,"he said,"the Danish courage I have heard so much of?
27722Janet,says he,"have you seen a black man?"
27722Let us be careful,I said;"who knows what we may find?"
27722Me, sir? 27722 My Number 13?
27722Nor heard anything?
27722Nor to- night?
27722Oh, is it, sir?
27722Right hand or left, or both?
27722See the paper it''s written on? 27722 Sir?"
27722Smoke?
27722So you''ve got something aboard?
27722So your husband runs into debt?
27722So?
27722Soon he repeated the question:''Lost anything?'' 27722 Surely, Herr Jensen, it comes from your room next door?
27722Then if it''s not my uncle, what is it?
27722Then tell us what to expect,I said;"what kind of a ghost is this nocturnal visitor?"
27722Then you do n''t think there is any particular objection to having a Number 13?
27722Then, what do you use your Number 13 for?
27722This McCord a friend of yourn?
27722This was a Carmelite convent, then?
27722Was there anything hanging from this-- er-- say a parrot-- or something, McCord?
27722Was there no door between yours and mine?
27722We''re friends already; are n''t we, Eustace Borlsover?
27722Well, what about the knocks?
27722Well, what are we to do?
27722Were you or Mrs. Monson outside a few minutes ago knocking at my door?
27722What about a landing net?
27722What animal?
27722What are you waiting for?
27722What did it look like?
27722What did you do then?
27722What did you do then?
27722What did you do then?
27722What do you know about Björnsen?
27722What do you make of him-- a writing chap?
27722What do you make of it?
27722What do you mean?
27722What do you say to some wine?
27722What do you want, and why in the world do n''t you come in?
27722What happened?
27722What have I done?
27722What in the world are you talking about? 27722 What is he doing?"
27722What is his attitude in this portrait?
27722What is it that it''s holding?
27722What is it, cousin?
27722What is the time?
27722What was it?
27722What was its colour?
27722What''s all the row?
27722What''s all this about Mrs. Merrit wanting to leave?
27722What''s happened-- what''s become of her?
27722What''s the matter with the servants, Morton?
27722What''s the matter? 27722 What''s the use?"
27722What''s up with you, Eustace? 27722 What, you?"
27722When shall I see you?
27722When, pray? 27722 Where is it?
27722Where shall I see you?
27722Where shall you not?
27722Where''s Emily?
27722Who are you?
27722Who was it?
27722Who''s that?
27722Who''s there?
27722Whose photograph is it?
27722Why does it come after me? 27722 Why not?"
27722Will you,says Mr. Soulis,"in the name of God, and before me, His unworthy minister, renounce the devil and his works?"
27722Woman,says he to Janet,"is this true?"
27722You did, eh? 27722 You do n''t believe all this?"
27722You do n''t want us to believe that it''s true, Mr. Borlsover? 27722 You have n''t found what you were looking for, I suppose?"
27722You heard?
27722You mean the girl as was''ere before me?
27722You would n''t think a man would be fool enough to shoot at a shadow?
27722_Who is it from?"
27722''How about the tops?''
27722''What''s the matter with the room?''
27722''Why do n''t you go aboard of him?''
27722*****"Perhaps,"said the landlord, with hesitation,"you gentleman would like another room for to- night-- a double- bedded one?"
27722After what might have been twenty seconds of this he whispered,"Do you hear?"
27722Am I going mad?
27722Am I going out of my mind?"
27722And did you get the reserve in that''even a funeral''?
27722And put them in Number 13?
27722And what in the name of all that''s holy is that?"
27722And would n''t he have a hot basin of bread and milk last thing at night?
27722Any objection?"
27722Are you sure that he commissioned you to ask me for them?"
27722As soon as I have got in I double lock, and bolt it: I am frightened-- of what?
27722But how could she hang there, done up in a ball, from the hatch?"
27722But is it I?
27722But it would see me mix it with the water; and then, would our poisons have any effect on its impalpable body?
27722But was it a hallucination?
27722But where?
27722But who is he, this invisible being that rules me?
27722But with what, with whom, was I thus momentarily imprisoned?
27722Ca n''t he see at all?"
27722Can it be that my memory is beginning to be affected?
27722Can you believe it, Ridgeway-- in this very cabin here?"
27722Catarina?
27722Dead?
27722Did you ever happen to see black- powder smoke in the moonlight?
27722Do n''t you believe you''d keep an eye around the corners, kind of-- eh?
27722Do not dogs occasionally bite and strangle their masters?
27722Do you hear me?"
27722Do you know the writing, sir?"
27722Do you know where-- Is there anything in your municipal budget to tell me where Björnsen went?
27722Do you like it?"
27722Eh?
27722For a moment I thought he must be walking in his sleep, but he turned to me quite naturally and said in his own boyish voice:"''Lost anything?''
27722Had not he, perhaps, kept a glass hidden in his hand, which he showed to the young woman in her sleep, at the same time as he did the card?
27722Has it brought you any luck?"
27722He must have been caught all of a bunch, eh?"
27722He put a visiting card into her hands, and said to her:"This is a looking- glass; what do you see in it?"
27722He replied:"Do we see the hundred thousandth part of what exists?
27722He turned to me:"Signore, it is already two o''clock and too late for mass, is it not?"
27722He was just going out, and he listened to me with a smile, and said:"Do you believe now?"
27722His body?
27722How is it that I have not seen them?"
27722How is it then that since the beginning of the world they have never manifested themselves in such a manner precisely as they do to me?
27722How should it then be surprising that he can not perceive a fresh body which is traversed by the light?
27722I continued:"Do you remember what took place at your house last night?"
27722I mean, did anything-- anything bad ever happen here?"
27722I waited for him, made sure of him, began to feel giddy, and then a man''s voice, deep and clear:"''There is someone there; who is it?''
27722I wonder if they all scream-- these ships that have lost their souls?
27722I?
27722If he was not dead?...
27722Is it I?
27722Is it a cold shiver which, passing over my skin, has upset my nerves and given me low spirits?
27722Is it not possible that one of the imperceptible keys of the cerebral finger- board has been paralyzed in me?
27722Is it your uncle''s hand?"
27722Is n''t there a cat or something stuck in the chimney?"
27722Is not the following story again still more appalling and not less marvellous?
27722Is the son in the house?"
27722Is the world coming to an end?
27722Is there a God?
27722It could surely only be I?
27722It is done;... it is done... but is he dead?
27722It would be the height of folly to believe in the supernatural on the_ île de la Grenouillière_[1]... but on the top of Mont Saint- Michel?...
27722Just before we left my father said,"Mr. Borlsover, may my son here shake hands with you?
27722My cousin, who is also very incredulous, smiled, and Dr. Parent said to her:"Would you like me to try and send you to sleep, Madame?"
27722Now I remember the words of the monk at Mont Saint- Michel:"Can we see the hundred- thousandth part of what exists?
27722Oh, who will clothe me?"
27722Poison?
27722Premature destruction?
27722Presently the door opened, and the shock to my nerves was unmistakable when I heard a man''s voice ask,"Is Mr.---- still here?"
27722Prince, is that you?"
27722Ridgeway, there was a pair of funks aboard this craft, eh?
27722Ridgeway-- why do n''t we go out?"
27722Run''s the exact word in this case, is n''t it?
27722Shall we go and investigate in the next room?"
27722Shall we go in?"
27722She was drawing the majority to her way of thinking when, from the corner where the girl sat, a hollow- sounding voice:"And the boy?
27722She was--""_ Was?_"I caught him up.
27722Somebody had drunk the water, but who?
27722The accumulated dust of centuries, eh?"
27722The wise man says: Perhaps?
27722Then, turning to me,"You will go, will you not?
27722Then?...
27722They called it magnetism, hypnotism, suggestion... what do I know?
27722They''re not valuable, I hope?
27722This unknowable being, this rover of a supernatural race?
27722Twenty questions leaped to my lips: What are you?
27722Up till the present time I have been frightened of nothing-- I open my cupboards, and look under my bed; I listen-- I listen-- to what?
27722Valguanera thought a moment, then he said,"Bring two horses; the Signor Americano will go with you,--do you understand?"
27722Was his own room to the right or to the left?
27722Was it imagination?
27722Was not his body, which was transparent, indestructible by such means as would kill ours?
27722What are you waiting for?"
27722What can they do more than we can?
27722What can we do?
27722What do they see which we do not know?
27722What do those who are thinkers in those distant worlds know more than we do?
27722What do you say?"
27722What do you want?
27722What does this mean?"
27722What forms, what living beings, what animals are there yonder?
27722What has happened?
27722What in the world can it be, I wonder?...
27722What is it?
27722What is the matter with me?
27722What is the matter with me?
27722What is the reason?
27722What was that?
27722What was that?"
27722What were the roads like?"
27722What''s the game?"
27722When I went back home yesterday, I noticed his singular paleness, and I asked him:"What is the matter with you, Jean?"
27722Whence do these mysterious influences come, which change our happiness into discouragement, and our self- confidence into diffidence?
27722Where in the world did it come from?
27722Where is he?"
27722Where is it?"
27722Who can tell?
27722Who could it be?
27722Who could possibly feel cold when wearing them?"
27722Who inhabits those worlds?
27722Who is it?
27722Who is the culprit?
27722Who that has read it is likely to forget Pliny''s account in a letter to an intimate of an apparition shortly after death to a mutual acquaintance?
27722Who was it?
27722Who will save me?
27722Who will understand my horrible agony?
27722Who?
27722Why are you dawdling?"
27722Why do you come into my room?
27722Why do you listen and watch?
27722Why else should he be dancing?
27722Why in thunder_ should_ he mention a cat?"
27722Why not one more?
27722Why not other elements besides fire, air, earth and water?
27722Why not run up to town?
27722Why not, also, other trees with immense, splendid flowers, perfuming whole regions?
27722Why not?
27722Why should there not be one more, when once that period is accomplished which separates the successive apparitions from all the different species?
27722Why should we be the last?
27722Why these dress togs?"
27722Why this transparent, unrecognizable body, this body belonging to a spirit, if it also had to fear ills, infirmities and premature destruction?
27722Why, do n''t I tell you that there is n''t such a thing in the house?
27722Why?
27722Why?
27722Why?
27722Why?
27722Why?"
27722Why_ should_ he mention a cat?
27722Yet all my clothes lay about the floor when I awoke, where they had evidently been flung( had I tossed them?)
27722You know how glad you are to wake up after a dream like that and find none of it is so?
27722You will tell it, will you not?"
27722_ August 10th._ Nothing; what will happen to- morrow?
27722_ August 20th._ How could I kill it, as I could not get hold of it?
27722_ July 5th._ Have I lost my reason?
27722_"Will eleven o''clock to- night be suitable for our last appointment?
27722and in India?
27722asked Saunders;"black?"
27722he said, meaning Salthenius, who was only an undergraduate when he committed that indiscretion,"how did he know what company he was courting?"
27722perhaps?...
27722said Eustace;"what in the world was the old boy driving at?
27722then?...
27722well?...
10083''Do you mean Elwood?'' 10083 ''Shall I drink alone?''
10083A duty? 10083 A near sound, or a far?"
10083Also the hat and coat found on a remote hook in the closet under the stairs, bearing the flour- mark on its under brim?
10083And Mr. Ranelagh, I suppose you would say?
10083And afterward, when you came from the fire after waiting some little time for courage?
10083And at whom was Mr. Ranelagh looking?
10083And can not you remember_ now_ any other noises than those you speak of? 10083 And did n''t you turn at all?"
10083And did not see her raise them once?
10083And did they cover her quite when you came back?
10083And did you get them?
10083And did you read it then?
10083And felt nothing there?
10083And how did you light these?
10083And leave me to imagine all sorts of horrors? 10083 And left the ring on?"
10083And not now?
10083And on what does he look? 10083 And the gentleman who brought me the-- her letter?"
10083And the lock?
10083And the ring?
10083And the sister?
10083And then locked them out?
10083And then where?
10083And then you left the building?
10083And these you did not have on your return?
10083And took it up when you went out?
10083And was that where they always stood, the pair of them, one on each end of the dining- room mantel?
10083And went straight out with them?
10083And what did you do then?
10083And what did you do then?
10083And what does she say?
10083And what is he doing now? 10083 And what was this precaution?"
10083And when you came down? 10083 And when you rose from the lounge and crossed your sister''s hands?"
10083And why did n''t you?
10083And you did this?
10083And you do not know which one you put on that cold night?
10083And you fled?
10083And you heard it in one of the doorways? 10083 And you left them to the task?"
10083And you?
10083Any marks darker than the rest of her skin on her throat or neck?
10083Any of their words, or only their voices?
10083Are not these the ones?
10083Are the two families intimate?
10083Are there nothing but markets there?
10083Are you going back into town?
10083Are you in the habit of kindling fires in your own home?
10083Are you known here?
10083Are you sure you telephoned for help?
10083Are you sure?
10083Are you willing to repeat that you saw no one?
10083Both keys?
10083Bright enough for you to see the links?
10083Broken this way?
10083But are these points so vital as they seem? 10083 But what can I hope now?
10083But you can surely tell what hat?
10083But you do remember having shut the door behind you?
10083But you know what one you wore back?
10083But you know when you left the club- house to go back?
10083But you know where the other-- or rather remnants of the other, was found?
10083But you remember it now?
10083Ca n''t you come in by the door, and not creep sneaking up to take a man at disadvantage?
10083Can you describe these noises?
10083Can you fix the hour of this occurrence?
10083Can you relate this tale to us in a few words?
10083Can you say she did not clutch or grip her throat during any of this time?
10083Can you say they had not been disturbed?
10083Can you swear that there was no change-- that the pillows and the window cushion lay just as they did when you left the room?
10083Can you tell us what time it was when you started?
10083Carrying it straight to the stable?
10083Crossing the links?
10083Did anything happen? 10083 Did anything uncommon happen during the meal?"
10083Did he use it that night?
10083Did n''t you feel the icy cold when you opened the dressing- closet window to throw out the phial?
10083Did n''t you so much as try to account for their both being there?
10083Did n''t you stop at the stable?
10083Did not stand by the table thinking?
10083Did she speak to you?
10083Did she? 10083 Did the fire light quickly?"
10083Did the moon shine when you went to throw the phial out of the window?
10083Did the opening of this door alter the temperature of the room?
10083Did this attempt at secrecy succeed? 10083 Did this struggle consume forty minutes?"
10083Did you do this openly?
10083Did you drop this key into your pocket, too?
10083Did you expect him to, after_ that_?
10083Did you go into the kitchen in your wanderings below?
10083Did you have any that night?
10083Did you love her? 10083 Did you recognise this key?"
10083Did you see any one then?
10083Did you see your sister again?
10083Did you shut that door yourself?
10083Did you stop in the midst of the storm to take a drink?
10083Did you try the front door?
10083Did you walk straight through it?
10083Did you zigzag enough to go back of the stable?
10083Discoloration?
10083Do n''t you know?
10083Do n''t you remember? 10083 Do you know exactly what the club- house''s wine- vault contained?"
10083Do you mean her-- the lady who is about to be buried? 10083 Do you mean that you did n''t know you locked the door?"
10083Do you mean to this house or to this stable?
10083Do you mind particularising? 10083 Do you recognise the prisoner, Miss Cumberland?"
10083Do you recognise these lines?
10083Doctor, what do you think?
10083Does he go now? 10083 Does he know it?"
10083Does n''t he grieve for Adelaide? 10083 Does the nurse know this?"
10083Does this mean that it was not in your possession at any time during that interim?
10083Dr. Perry, may I have a few words with you?
10083Drink?
10083Entering the telephone room?
10083Expectant like?
10083Following up the clews which you have yourself given me? 10083 For help?"
10083From this bottle?
10083From what direction did it come?
10083Go on?
10083Had he no friend? 10083 Had it begun to snow when you left the clubhouse?"
10083Had luck?
10083Had not this younger sister even enjoined secrecy upon you in asking you to harness the horse?
10083Had you been near it? 10083 Had you expected Adelaide to accompany your younger sister when you harnessed the horse for her?"
10083Had you seen the casket itself prior to this moment of which you speak?
10083Hands and face?
10083Has that been proved?
10083Have you ever caught him in a lie?
10083Have you heard that the horse was out that night?
10083Have you liquor in your room?
10083Have you many coats-- overcoats, I mean?
10083He did n''t visit_ her_"Where did he go?
10083He has another secret, then, than the one involving his arrest as a suspected murderer?
10083He has not come forward?
10083He uses that door, then?
10083Hear any one?
10083Her hands as well as her face?
10083How about the candlestick?
10083How came you to know the time so exactly?
10083How can I?
10083How did you leave the stable- door?
10083How do you know that phial came from this house?
10083How do you know you threw it out?
10083How large was this kindling?
10083How long did it take you that time to reach Cuthbert Road from The Whispering Pines?
10083How long do you think you were in entering the house and procuring these bottles?
10083How should it?
10083How so?
10083How then did you get into the stable?
10083How was it when you let go of them? 10083 How, look back?"
10083How, not see your way?
10083How?
10083I see, and she returned your love?
10083I''m in the hospital, am I not?
10083I? 10083 If not, why this fever?"
10083If so, will you allow me to walk beside you for a little way?
10083Immediately?
10083In a storm?
10083In any way can you locate the time?
10083In the blinding snow?
10083In the dark? 10083 In which voice?"
10083Intentionally?
10083Is he there now?
10083Is it your writing?
10083Is it? 10083 Is she any one we know or an importation of the doctor''s?"
10083Is she making a fool of herself?
10083Is that so?
10083Is the place his? 10083 Is the side door locked?"
10083Is there any one here, behind these trees or in the street on the other side of the hedge- row?
10083Is this girl telling the truth?
10083Is this it?
10083Is this your writing?
10083Just as you had left them?
10083Laid it down by itself?
10083Leaving your two sisters alone in this cold and out- of- the- way house?
10083Listening, eh?
10083May I ask by which door you left the house?
10083May I ask to what effect?
10083May I ask which door you allude to?
10083May I come in, too? 10083 Miss Carmel Cumberland ill?"
10083Miss Cumberland, are you ready to swear that you did not hear a step at that time?
10083Miss Cumberland, did you ever see that bit of broken glass before?
10083Miss Cumberland, did you sec anybody else when you came in at this time?
10083Miss Cumberland, do you often ride out alone on nights like that?
10083Miss Cumberland, have you heard or read a full account of this trial?
10083Miss Cumberland, pardon my request, but will you tell us what was in that note?
10083Miss Cumberland, when you left the building, did you leave it alone?
10083Miss Cumberland, where were you looking when you let your glass fall?
10083Miss Cumberland, will you be good enough to tell us where you were, at or near the hour of ten, on the evening of your sister''s death?
10083Miss Cumberland, you are sure about having telephoned for help, and that you mentioned The Whispering Pines in doing so?
10083Mr. Cumberland, if you are not sure of having seen this ring then, when did you see it and where?
10083Mr. Cumberland, is there anything you would like to say in your own defence before I close this examination?
10083Mr. Cumberland, were a coat and hat all that you took from that hall?
10083Mr. Cumberland, you have heard mention made of a ring worn by your sister in life, but missing from her finger after death?
10083Mr. Fox, have you those tongs?
10083My hat? 10083 My teeth were chattering but--""Had they chattered before?"
10083No; we went separately"How? 10083 No?"
10083Nor where you took it from?
10083Not at your brother?
10083Not at your sister?
10083Not in the kitchen?
10083Not touch her? 10083 Not when you started?
10083Nothing else?
10083Nothing more?
10083Now, about the note?
10083Now, what do you mean by that?
10083Oh-- you brought scraps?
10083One at your plate, one at Carmel''s, and one at the head of the board where sat your sister Adelaide?
10083Only matches?
10083Only possibly?
10083Or see a face?
10083Otherwise,he pursued,"what could have taken her there?
10083Particulars? 10083 Quickly?
10083Say that you never knew her father; say that you had no more interest in the girl or the case, than the jurors have? 10083 Shall I accompany you to the door of your room?"
10083Shall I knock?
10083Shall I pass her story on?
10083She does look knowing, do n''t she? 10083 She-- cries out-- then?"
10083So that you went straight out?
10083So that your pockets were empty-- entirely empty-- when you drove into your own gate?
10083So that, to the best of your belief, it was still on your sister''s finger when you left the room?
10083So you did not drink? 10083 Some one must have drunk with her?"
10083Suffering in mind, or suffering in body?
10083That you only heard a sigh?
10083That''s how you look at it?
10083That''s true enough, and what does it show? 10083 That''s what the missus was afraid of, was it?
10083That? 10083 The door of which you shut?"
10083The doorway to the large hall?
10083The passage you pass through on your way to the door leading into your neighbour''s grounds?
10083The truth? 10083 Then or when you unharnessed your horse, or afterward, as you passed back to the house?"
10083Then they might have been disturbed-- might even have been rearranged--- without your knowing it?
10083Then you knew the way?
10083Then, of course, you left the door unlocked when you went out of the building?
10083Then, you had not been long on the scene of crime when the police arrived?
10083They know him better than we do,was his inner comment;"what do they think of his words, and what do they think of him?"
10083They will?
10083This barrel stood where?
10083To the cemetery?
10083To what vehicle was it attached?
10083Took down? 10083 Took nothing out?"
10083Up?
10083Was Miss Cumberland fond of that sort of thing?
10083Was anything said?
10083Was it dark?
10083Was it in the same condition as when you left-- the pillows, I mean?
10083Was it not at a later hour, much later, a little before eleven instead of a little before nine?
10083Was it snowing at this time?
10083Was it the grey mare?
10083Was it unlocked?
10083Was n''t the draught good at the club- house?
10083Was not this a most unusual thing to do?
10083Was that all you carried in your pockets?
10083Was that brother with you? 10083 Was that the first and only time you had seen her so placed?"
10083Was that the only time you have seen it up to the present moment?
10083Was the ground slippery?
10083Was the moon shining?
10083Was the visit you made to the wine- vault on the evening of the second of December, the first one you had ever paid there?
10083Was there anything in the bag?
10083Was this before or after you put on your overcoat?
10083Was this ring on her finger that night at the dinner- table?
10083Was this rushing sound such as a window might make on being opened?
10083Was your candle lit?
10083Well, and what is your business?
10083Well?
10083Were her hands crossed then?
10083Were the pillows there?
10083What did you do next, Miss Cumberland?
10083What did you do then?
10083What did you do with it there?
10083What did you do with it when you came out?
10083What do you want here? 10083 What do you want?
10083What is the coachman''s name? 10083 What key was it?"
10083What man?
10083What overcoat did you wear?
10083What path did you take in returning to the house?
10083What sort of a man would you make Arthur out to be, when you accuse him of robbing the wine- vault on top of a murderous assault on his sister?
10083What to do?
10083What was in the four bottles found on the kitchen table?
10083What was the use of trying the window? 10083 What was the use?
10083What was there behind you?
10083What word?
10083What would you do?
10083What''s that?
10083What''s the matter?
10083What, then?
10083What? 10083 When did you light the candle?"
10083When you did think of your sisters, what explanation did you give yourself of the facts we have just been considering?
10083When you heard your sister''s voice in the club- house, how did you think she had got into the building?
10083When you threw the phial out?
10083When you went into the kitchen, Mr. Cumberland, to get the stable- door key, was the gas lit, or did you have to light it?
10083When?
10083Where am I?
10083Where did you get that?
10083Where did you light your first match?
10083Where did you put it after taking it up?
10083Where in the lower hall?
10083Where is the railroad station?
10083Where was she then?
10083Where were you at the time?
10083Where were you looking?
10083Where''s his room? 10083 Where?"
10083Which member? 10083 Which of the two hung foremost?"
10083Which ones? 10083 Who are you?"
10083Who are you?
10083Who are you?
10083Who did you think was with them?
10083Who driving?
10083Who told him?
10083Whose is it? 10083 Why see the girl?"
10083Why should moments be hours to you previous to the instant when you stripped those pillows from the couch? 10083 Why should n''t I?
10083Why, may I ask?
10083Why, then, did n''t you take both keys?
10083Why, when you had a team ready to carry you?
10083Why?
10083Will you find out, and will you see that I get all my letters?
10083Will you not tell me, before you go, whether the candlestick I have noticed on the dining- room mantel is not one of a pair?
10083Will you take it in your hand and examine it carefully?
10083With some scraps of paper I brought in my bag?
10083Without seeing anybody?
10083Would it disturb you if I were? 10083 Would n''t another time do?"
10083Would n''t you know if they had been disturbed?
10083Would n''t you remember if you had?
10083Yes, or why does he balk so at the simplest inquiries? 10083 Yes; it''s plain enough, is n''t it?
10083Yet can not say which of these two overcoats you put on when you left your home, an hour or so after finishing your dinner?
10083Yet you found the rack?
10083Yet you had telephoned for the police?
10083Yet you heard the two together in this remote building without surprise?
10083Yet you left them?
10083You absolutely do not remember?
10083You are acquainted with Miss Carmel Cumberland''s handwriting?
10083You are from headquarters?
10083You are interested then in seeing young Cumberland freed?
10083You are sure that you did not wander in back of the stable?
10083You are sure you went through Mr. Fulton''s grounds at this early hour in the evening?
10083You are sure?
10083You believe that she burnt herself-- intentionally?
10083You carry the key to the wine- cellar?
10083You did? 10083 You do n''t remember that they did?"
10083You do n''t want to kill yourself?
10083You do not know what one you wore back?
10083You do not know whether they have looked for it at her home?
10083You dropped this key into your trousers''pocket?
10083You drove there?
10083You had no team? 10083 You had trouble with it?"
10083You have made some discovery?
10083You have no further explanation to give on this subject?
10083You have said that you wore a hat and coat of your brother''s in coming to the club- house? 10083 You have?
10083You heard both your sisters speaking?
10083You heard?
10083You recognise it as such?
10083You remember but one?
10083You remember this ring?
10083You threw the phial out without looking?
10083You took both?
10083You took your one key, and let the rest lie?
10083You understand them?
10083You went into the kitchen?
10083You went right on?
10083You were some minutes doing this, you say?
10083You were watching for your husband? 10083 You wish to return to your sister?
10083You wish to speak to me?
10083You would impeach his testimony then?
10083You would n''t believe me?
10083You would?
10083You''re not ready to go? 10083 You?"
10083_ Did I shout it, or was the shout simply in my own mind? 10083 _ Who was the brute_?
10083_Yet you recognise these?"
10083''And-- and Elwood?''
10083''Carmel,''said she,''do you know what this man''s love has been to me?
10083''What has happened to you?
10083''What is it?''
10083''What will a little poison do?
10083''Which way are you going?''
10083''Which?''
10083''Which?''
10083''Why did you rob me of my one happiness?
10083''Why do n''t_ you_ stay?''
10083A lightning stroke or a call of fate which one must answer while sense remains?
10083After a moment, I went on with my queries:"Does he-- Arthur-- mention me at all?"
10083Am I never to have peace?"
10083Am I not right?"
10083Am I wrong in telling you?
10083And are willing to state it now?"
10083And he did kiss me-- I''m glad when I think of it, though he did say, next minute:''What is the matter with you?
10083And yet who knows?
10083And you still hold him?"
10083Answer; do you hear me and are you quite alone in the stable?"
10083Are you going to call it suicide?
10083Are you ready to take my case?"
10083Are you-- one of them?"
10083Are you?"
10083As Carmel disclosed her features to the court, my one absorbing thought was: Would she look at me?
10083As Hexford drew near me again on our way to the head of the staircase, I summoned up courage to ask:"Have you heard anything from the Hill?
10083BOOK FOUR WHAT THE PINES WHISPERED XXIX"I REMEMBERED THE ROOM"MERCURY.--If thou mightst dwell among the Gods the while Lapped in voluptuous joy?
10083BOOK IV WHAT THE PINES WHISPERED XXIX.--"I REMEMBERED THE ROOM"XXX.--"CHOOSE"XXXI.--"WERE HER HANDS CROSSED THEN?"
10083Because of this slight burn?"
10083Before he left him, he had asked him these questions:"Any grey horse in town?"
10083But did he strangle the woman?
10083But first, how much do you know about this case?"
10083But had I strength to speak that word?
10083But how evade it?
10083But the clouds fell speedily and very human feelings peered from between those lids as she murmured, half petulantly:"Why do you look at me so?
10083But what are you coming to?
10083But what did I believe?
10083But what sounds?
10083Ca n''t you follow up my suggestion?
10083Can I do anything for you?"
10083Can I do anything more for you?
10083Can you help me?"
10083Can you say whether you noticed any especial chill in the hall when you went out to telephone?"
10083Can you tell us how those pillows were arranged?"
10083Can you tell us of your own knowledge who did?"
10083Can you tell us what overcoat you put on when leaving your house?"
10083Carmel is to have her choice; but who believes that Adelaide would ever have let her drink the poisoned glass?
10083Carmel, do you know why I am here?''
10083Could I get her up on to the shed?
10083Could I hope for a glance of her eye?
10083Could he reach it?
10083Could it be her husband?
10083Could n''t you make me know what was happening?
10083Could_ she_ tell if her lips were not sealed by a murderer''s hand?"
10083Did Arthur''s fate hang upon my word?
10083Did I desire such a consummation?
10083Did I wish it?
10083Did Mr. Ranelagh speak to you or you to him, or did your sister Adelaide speak?"
10083Did Sweetwater notice this act of self- restraint?
10083Did he accompany you in your ride to The Whispering Pines?"
10083Did he wish to impress that body with the embarrassment of his client?
10083Did n''t I cover the ground?"
10083Did n''t he go to the grave?"
10083Did she realise this?
10083Did she think of me and the effect this unlooked- for death would have upon my feelings?
10083Did that offer a good foundation for crime?
10083Did this keep up after you entered the room where you found the telephone?"
10083Did you have the candle then?"
10083Did you keep these articles on?"
10083Did you put on your hat before you pocketed the key, or afterwards?"
10083Did you speak?"
10083Did you think I meant that?
10083Do men of this stamp scent crime as a hound scents out prey?
10083Do n''t you know enough, as it is, to hang the fellow?
10083Do n''t you remember that she went out that night?"
10083Do n''t you remember what you did with the one in your hand while you took the club- house key from the midst of Mr. Ranelagh''s bunch?"
10083Do n''t you see that I am burning with curiosity?
10083Do n''t you see that it maddens me?
10083Do you agree with the reporters that she knew why and for what her unhappy sister left this house that night?"
10083Do you know if such messenger or such letter has been received at my apartments?
10083Do you often stand in the open doorway, looking for him?"
10083Do you recognise the label still adhering to it as similar to the one to be found on the bottle you emptied in Cuthbert Road?"
10083Do you recognise the room you are in?"
10083Do you want anything more of me?
10083Do you want to drive me to drink again?"
10083Does that mean you did n''t look back?"
10083Does the doctor-- Dr. Carpenter, I presume,--venture to say how long Carmel''s present delirium will hold?"
10083Evidence of what?
10083Evidence which would implicate Carmel?
10083Fear for him or fear for themselves?
10083Fidestum Shall we return?
10083Finally Mr. Fox turned to him and put the anticipated question:"You are satisfied with your autopsy?
10083Had Carmel been discovered on the road leading from this place?
10083Had I mistaken his gratitude to myself; or had I underrated Mr. Moffat''s insight or powers of persuasion?
10083Had I shown my feelings so plainly as that?
10083Had I wronged this lovely, tempestuous nature by suspicions which this story put to blush?
10083Had it been held?
10083Had repentance come, and with it a desire to own her guilt?
10083Had she come alone or in Carmel''s company, and if in Carmel''s company, on what ostensible errand if not that of death?
10083Had she, in all the time she was in the building, heard any noises she could not account for?
10083Had the defence changed places with the prosecution?
10083Had the fact made me curious to examine her hand?
10083Had the latter betrayed the cause I had been led to believe he was ready to risk his life to defend?
10083Had the voice issued from this isolated point of darkness?
10083Had you handled it in any way?"
10083Has Miss Cumberland made a will?"
10083Has the news of this tragedy been communicated to Miss Cumberland''s family, and if so, how are they bearing this affliction?"
10083Have you any hint to give on this point?
10083Have you heard anything about this ring?
10083Have you heard otherwise, sir?"
10083He can hear their words now and what are the words he hears?
10083He had a word with the former:"What is the purpose of the little door in the wall back of the stable?"
10083He put his most vital question first:"In all this interview with your sister, did you remark any discoloration on her throat?"
10083He seemed to gather that they did, for he went on at once to say:"You are accustomed to the links?
10083How came one of them to get into the barrel outside your stable before your return the next day?"
10083How can I tell?
10083How could I get this?
10083How did you carry those bottles?"
10083How did you know it?"
10083How do you account for this?"
10083How had_ she_ looked-- how that other?
10083How is Carmel to- day?"
10083How many feet away?
10083How much did he know?
10083How plain; and what did I mean by saying that I felt forced to lay my thumbs upon them?
10083How quickly?"
10083How then did you manage to reach home in time to make your way back to Cuthbert Road by half- past eleven?"
10083How were the pillows heaped upon the couch?
10083I burst out,"what do you want of a warrant?
10083I could not swear that in my opinion it was?
10083I had no key; the cellar had been ransacked without my help; should I acknowledge this?
10083I liked''em, do ye understand?
10083I mean to ask whether or not you had ever before crossed them directly to Cuthbert Road?"
10083I put my own thumbs on these two dark spots to see if-- when what was it?
10083I stammered,"too ill to be told?"
10083I stared at the coroner and lost the thread of my story-- What had I to say more?
10083I suppose that is what you mean?"
10083I was a victim, not of malice but of blind chance, or shall I say of Providence?
10083I was to put the phial in her hand-- or was I to throw it from the window?
10083I was--""Who broke the glasses?"
10083I''ve only finished with one; there''s another--""The bottles?"
10083If I screamed, who would hear me?
10083In sight of the alcove you mention?"
10083Is he going into his own room to- night?"
10083Is he such a demon?
10083Is he such a madman?
10083Is his hate or his cupidity satisfied?
10083Is it so hard to preserve a natural aspect in telling or suggesting a lie that Charles''s look should change as I uttered the last sentence?
10083Is my folly past belief?
10083Is n''t that enough, sir?
10083Is n''t that right?"
10083Is that what you want to say?
10083Is the detective Sweetwater still in town?"
10083Is this true?"
10083Is-- is-- has anything happened at the Cumberlands''?"
10083It is as a witness you seek to detain me, I presume?"
10083It is, is n''t it?"
10083It was bought when?
10083It would come up, and, under the influence of this impression I said:"Are you sure that he made no denial of this crime?
10083May I ask if he is correct in this surmise?"
10083May I ask what this bit of paper is and where you found it?"
10083Might I draw a hope from this?
10083Might it not be simply as his accessory after the fact?
10083Miss Cumberland''s death was due to strangulation and not to the poison she took?"
10083Miss Huckins,_ where is my brother_?"
10083Mr. Fox smiled an acrid smile, as he asked:"Whereabouts on the golf- links?
10083Mr. Ranelagh, will you credit me with good intentions if I ask a question or two which you may or may not be willing to answer?"
10083Must I tell these things?"
10083Must this autopsy take place?"
10083My betrothed-- a dainty, delicate woman-- dead-- alone-- in this solitary, far- away spot-- the victim of what?
10083Not to see and yet to feel-- did that make the horror?
10083Not when you left Cuthbert Road?"
10083Now, who did?"
10083Of what did she especially disapprove in your conduct or way of spending money?"
10083Or should I have the still deeper misery of finding her callous to my position and welcoming any chance which diverted suspicion from herself?
10083Or was it fantasy?
10083Perry?"
10083Perry?"
10083Ranelagh or me?
10083Ranelagh?"
10083Ranelagh?"
10083Satisfied, he put the question:"When, after telephoning, you returned to the room where your sister lay, you glanced at the lounge?"
10083See if her heart is there?''
10083Seizing hold of the first man who passed him, he pointed it out, crying:"What building is that?"
10083She had escaped me to run upon what?
10083She looked the same, and you saw no change in the position of her hands?"
10083Should I find the law in shape to deal with it?
10083Should I have to combat her desire to take upon herself the full blame of her deed, with all its shames and penalties?
10083Should I yell out murder?
10083Should it be said she had a murderer for her son?
10083Should she try to reach the house, or hide her small body, like a trapped animal''s, on the dark side of the hedge?
10083Some new discovery on their part?
10083Sweetwater?
10083Tear what open?
10083That time you stepped into the hall-- when your teeth chattered, you know-- did you hear nothing then but the sighing of the pines?"
10083The next,"Will they find her wet clothes and discover that she was out last night?"
10083The truth about what?
10083The truth?
10083The-- the--"Is it your writing?"
10083Then I could not tell whether the finger on which she wore it gave any evidence of this ring having been pulled off with violence?
10083Then before he could reply:"What do you think the nurse meant by a violent change in her patient?"
10083Then reason returned, if consideration halted, and I asked myself:"But is the help she offers of any practical worth?
10083Then, as she showed no signs of saying more, asked as quietly as his rapidly beating heart permitted:"Did n''t you recognise the man?"
10083Then, with a deep labouring breath, she looked me in the eye again, with the simple question:"''And where is he?''"
10083There''s a funeral there to- day--""Not Miss Cumberland''s?"
10083Thoroughly roused now( you will say, by what?)
10083Though the head was not yet revealed, I thought I knew the woman and that she-- Did seconds pass or many minutes before I lifted that last cushion?
10083To Adelaide or to me; to Arthur or to her own frightened and appalled self?
10083To Arthur, the brother whose love for liquor in every form she had always decried, and had publicly rebuked only a few hours before?
10083To meet that villain?''
10083To whom did they now attribute this act?
10083To- night you have come earlier, and I have slipped out and-- O, Elwood, you wo n''t think badly of me?
10083Took down from where?"
10083Turning to the officer next me, I put the question which had been burning in my mind for hours:"Tell me, how you came to know there was trouble here?
10083Upstairs?"
10083Walk boldly along; he wo n''t notice--""_ He wo n''t notice_?"
10083Was I too ill to be told?
10083Was Mr. Moffat armed with the knowledge I thought confined to myself and Arthur?
10083Was he hunting for new clews, or was he merely seeking to establish the old?
10083Was he in the building when I first stepped into it?
10083Was he not capable of springing another?
10083Was it Arthur?
10083Was it a human sigh?"
10083Was it her teeth that were chattering or mine?
10083Was it locked that night?"
10083Was it possible that I should find a friend in this man?
10083Was it shared by the defence?
10083Was it the smell?
10083Was it then, or later, that he began in his turn to cherish new and less hostile feelings towards myself?
10083Was it too late?
10083Was it under my control?
10083Was it weakness, or a settled inability to remember anything but that which filled her own mind?
10083Was it whiskey, rum, absinthe, or what?"
10083Was n''t he seen with his fingers on Adelaide''s throat?
10083Was n''t it also, presumably, locked?"
10083Was not Medusa captivating, for all her snaky locks?
10083Was not this strange enough to rouse my wonder?
10083Was that a natural thing to do?
10083Was that after or before the door opened?"
10083Was that all?
10083Was the hat what folks call a derby?
10083Was the house as soundless as it was dark?
10083Was the room light enough to reveal my guilty flush?
10083Was the thrill in her voice or in my own heart, or in the story-- emphasised as it was by her undeniable attempt upon her own beauty?
10083Was there any other means of exit from these grounds save that offered by the ordinary driveway?
10083Was there no way to stop it?
10083Was there not some one to understand?
10083Was this review instantaneous, or the work of many minutes?
10083Was this the janitor''s idea?
10083We-- we went this way into the little room and-- what other question do you wish to ask?"
10083Went how?
10083Were n''t they?
10083Were the marks very plain upon her throat?
10083Were there any objections to his searching the stable- loft for indications of his whereabouts?
10083Were they the first ones or the last?
10083Were we about to be made witnesses of another?
10083Were you able to go and come without meeting any one?"
10083Were you watching her then?"
10083What are you going to do?
10083What brought you to this house?
10083What can I tell you that is any more damaging than that?
10083What could I believe?
10083What could occasion my doubts, and why did I not fly the place?
10083What did I care for the snow?
10083What did it mean?
10083What did such an innovation mean?
10083What did you do after re- entering your room?"
10083What do I know about my old clothes?
10083What do you mean by that?"
10083What do you say, gentlemen?
10083What do you suppose has happened?
10083What do you think, or rather, what is the general opinion on this point?"
10083What does it mean?
10083What else could she have meant?"
10083What evidence?
10083What excuse have you to give for that?"
10083What explanation had the police, now, for those two emptied glasses?
10083What followed, who knows?
10083What had I expected to find?
10083What had been in her mind?
10083What had happened above?
10083What had happened during this interval?
10083What had preceded and followed the drinking of this cordial?
10083What happened after the dinner?
10083What has happened now?"
10083What has happened?"
10083What has my hat got to do with the guilt of Elwood Ranelagh?"
10083What is left?
10083What is your name, please, and are we here alone in this great hotel?"
10083What ones at top, what ones at bottom?
10083What particulars?
10083What shall I do?
10083What shall I do?"
10083What then---?
10083What was I to think?
10083What was Mr. Fox asking her now?
10083What was coming?
10083What was in his mind?
10083What was the feeling?
10083What would be his reply?
10083What would her first word be?
10083What would relieve my doubts?
10083What''s in your mind, and what are your intentions?
10083What''s the next address I have?
10083What''s the use fooling?"
10083What-- what have I said?"
10083What?
10083When did you see a change?"
10083When it did, what would she do?
10083When should I hear about Carmel, and whether she were yet alive, or mercifully dead, like her sister?
10083When was this?"
10083When would he come again?
10083Where are the other two?"
10083Where could that book be?
10083Where did they fall then?"
10083Where did this bit of broken bottle come from?
10083Where did you go from the table?"
10083Where is Adelaide?"
10083Where is he now, do you think?
10083Where was Carmel, and how was she enduring these awful hours?
10083Where was she?
10083Where was the candle at that moment?
10083Where was the rest of it?
10083Where''s that?"
10083Where, then, should I look for the unknown, the unsuspected third party?
10083Which did I remove first, and why did I remove any of them?
10083Which doorway?"
10083Which way did you take?"
10083Whither would her first thought fly?
10083Who made them?
10083Who were seated at the dinner- table that night?"
10083Who''s that man?"
10083Who, then, had been the intermediary in this business?
10083Whom should I see?"
10083Why ca n''t I go in there?"
10083Why did I feel I must pull them away, as I presently did?
10083Why did I take heart?
10083Why did I tremble so, then, and stare and stare at those cushions?
10083Why did n''t you go in by the door?"
10083Why did n''t you take it?"
10083Why did you come_ here?_ I dropped my hand, and she stood staring; then she uttered a cry and ran quickly towards me.
10083Why did you trouble yourself to carry up so many?"
10083Why do n''t you question him?"
10083Why had I trusted everything to my ears when my nose would have been a better guide?
10083Why harp on that string?
10083Why is n''t she here?
10083Why is there only one?"
10083Why should Arthur follow Adelaide to the club- house and kill her?
10083Why should I?
10083Why should he have fallen under suspicion?
10083Why were you in such a turmoil going through a house where you could have expected to find nothing worse than some miserable sneak thief?"
10083Why?
10083Why?
10083Will you dim that joy-- sustain this charge of murder?
10083Will you do this for me?"
10083Will you explain to the jury what duty?"
10083Will you explain?"
10083Will you look at this portion of a broken bottle?"
10083Will you tell us the name of this story?"
10083Will you trust me, sir?
10083Will you?"
10083With Carmel innocent, who was there left to suspect?
10083With whom, and by what means, did you regain your own house?"
10083Wo n''t the run of the house content ye?
10083Would he see that Miss Huckins was not neglected in her absence?
10083Would her action have been different had she known that this was a conceded fact?
10083Would it have seemed yet more so, had he known at whose request the huge bunch of lilies had been placed over that silent heart?
10083Would it prove of a generous kind?
10083Would it turn my way, and, if it did, would it leave a curse or a blessing behind it?
10083Would others who had not my knowledge be in any wise influenced to draw the same?
10083Would she die?
10083Would she live?
10083Would the morrow arm them with completer knowledge?
10083Would they know who she was-- her name, her quality, her story-- and respect her dead as they certainly must have respected her living?
10083Would this hat and coat identify the intruder?
10083Would you like to see him?"
10083XIII.--"WHAT WE WANT IS HERE"XIV.--THE MOTIONLESS FIGURE XV.--HELEN SURPRISES SWEETWATER XVI.--62 CUTHBERT ROAD XVII.--"MUST I TELL THESE THINGS?"
10083XVII"MUST I TELL THESE THINGS?"
10083XVIII ON IT WAS WRITTEN-- Can this avail thee?
10083XXVIII"WHERE IS MY BROTHER?"
10083XXXI"WERE HER HANDS CROSSED THEN?"
10083Yet who was there to notice him at this hour?
10083Yet why?
10083Yet, if they let this point slip, where should I be?
10083You are ready to swear to the sleigh you speak of; that you saw it leave the club- house grounds and turn north?"
10083You do n''t mind my telling you?
10083You do n''t say that any woman can care for_ him_?"
10083You do not know whether you shut it, or whether some one else shut it?"
10083You expect him here?''
10083You expected that, did n''t you?
10083You have been intending to marry Miss Cumberland?"
10083You have crossed them often?"
10083You have no suggestions to offer on the subject?"
10083You know the labels?"
10083You mean me to go on?"
10083You must have had trouble in finding them?"
10083You must have noticed this also, Coroner Perry?
10083You only smoked in your room?"
10083You or the doctors or-- or anybody?"
10083You ordered the flowers for-- Adelaide?"
10083You recognise these garments?"
10083You saw those, too, I take it?"
10083You say that it is near the head of the stairs running up from the side door?"
10083You''d like to?"
10083_ How much did he know_?
10083_ I_ had taken?
10083the coffin?"
10083what''s the matter?
26613''Oft in the stilly night''----Or is it''Oft in the silly night''?
26613About what?
26613About what?
26613Ai n''t it the_ trewth_?
26613Ai n''t lost any of that money, have ye?
26613All in the dark? 26613 Am I not?"
26613Am I so funny to look at?
26613An animal?
26613And another thing,Ruth went on to say, as she and her chum reached the level of the frozen lake,"did you notice that pick handle?"
26613And did that girl have to come up here--_and in the dark_?
26613And did you have to come out here to see if I were your friend?
26613And how are you to- night, Miss Stone? 26613 And if it is true of the senior shell, how much more so of our own?
26613And now that we are at this island, would you mind telling us where the Stone Face is situated?
26613And scamp our study hour?
26613And was so nasty to Hazel Gray? 26613 And we saw your light----""My_ what_?"
26613And what happened when she came to Ardmore?
26613And who ai n''t, I''d like to know?
26613And who told you about the Stone Face, Freshie?
26613And who''d want to?
26613And why do n''t I?
26613And why do n''t you let your mind broaden and get the best there is to be had at Ardmore?
26613And you wo n''t be afraid that I''ll crib the answers, Miss Cullam?
26613And you''re not the canned drama authoress?
26613And_ you_, Jennie?
26613Are n''t we allowed to run our own class affairs here?
26613Are you called Ruth?
26613At Lighthouse Point? 26613 Back where?"
26613Beginning that strenuous life that is to reduce your weight, Heavy?
26613But all the folks went last night, and this morning I was going across the river with my bag-- oh, did you find my bag, Miss?
26613But did n''t you see this visitor?
26613But if it were Tom?
26613But we all have our little troubles, do n''t we, Miss Cullam?
26613But what became of the poor girl?
26613But what''s goin''to become of the gal?
26613But, Rebecca----"Why did I do it?
26613But, say,began Helen, slowly,"where are all the frocks and things she was supposed to bring with her?
26613Campers on the island in a snow storm? 26613 Can somebody believe that this is one of the hiding places of Captain Kidd''s gold?
26613Did I see what?
26613Did n''t Miss Cullam go wailing all over the college about it?
26613Did n''t you ever see a good- looking girl before?
26613Did n''t you see''The Heart of a Schoolgirl''she wrote? 26613 Did she really have to come here, and_ alone_, when she was initiated?"
26613Did you say your name was Ruth Fielding?
26613Did you see that?
26613Did you think them filled with frocks and furbelows? 26613 Do I know her?"
26613Do n''t you consider your time well spent here, my dear chum?
26613Do n''t you remember this girl, Helen?
26613Do n''t you suppose she has read the notice?
26613Do you both come from a boarding school?
26613Do you feel as much at home already as_ that_?
26613Do you know it is snowing?
26613Do you know that I am a senior?
26613Do you know what I think about it, Ruthie?
26613Do you know what''s happened, girls?
26613Do you know what_ I_ should do?
26613Do you know who had this room last year?
26613Do you know, sometimes I am almost discouraged?
26613Do you know,the girl of the Red Mill said reflectively,"these old things are awfully interesting, Becky?"
26613Do you remember that girl we saw on the island this afternoon?
26613Do you see the terrible suspicion that has been eating at my mind ever since? 26613 Do you see_ that_?"
26613Do you suppose she is one of those stubborn girls who just''wo n''t be driv''?
26613Do you suppose they will haze you, Ruth, just because you wrote that scenario?
26613Do you think I am wearing this old tam because I am stubborn?
26613Do you think I do this for-- for fun?
26613Do_ you_ do it, too?
26613Does n''t she ever have a visitor?
26613Does n''t she ever write letters?
26613Does n''t she know better?
26613Everything in the shell, girls? 26613 Foolish, am I?"
26613Has n''t she the cheek of all cheeks to breeze in here this way?
26613Has nothing ever been heard from Miss Rolff since she left Ardmore?
26613He''ll say,suggested Helen, giggling,"''you took so much away, why do you bring so little back from college?''"
26613How about Heavy?
26613How about it, Ruth?
26613How came you here, of course?
26613How can I help it?
26613How would a cow come upon this island-- a mile from shore?
26613How- do?
26613Huh? 26613 Huh?"
26613Huh?
26613Huh?
26613I believe that fire is up near the big boulder we looked at-- you remember? 26613 I believe you three girls are Briarwoods, are you not?"
26613I could n''t let her go back to the poorfarm, I s''pose?
26613I guess you are spoofing me, are n''t you?
26613I mean that I have discovered something, and I wondered if you had discovered the same thing?
26613I suppose there is a porter to help-- er-- the man with my baggage?
26613I take it you are acting for her, are n''t you?
26613I wonder if that dressy girl with all the goods and chattels is bunked in_ our_ dormitory?
26613I wonder if that girl is over on the island yet?
26613I wonder if we should n''t eschew all slang now that we have come to Ardmore?
26613I wonder what for?
26613I wonder what she''s got in all those bags and the big trunk?
26613I wonder where the girl is who was in that boat?
26613I-- I wonder how that poor girl feels?
26613If she''s up there at the Red Mill, how can she possibly be down here, too? 26613 Indeed, Miss Cullam?"
26613Indeed, have you?
26613Indeed?
26613Is my soup noisy? 26613 Is n''t that funny?"
26613Is n''t this Maggie one of you?
26613Is she suspected of stealing the vase-- and the examination papers?
26613Is that Bliss Island?
26613Is that so-- Miss?
26613Is that so? 26613 Is that so?"
26613Is that_ your_ business?
26613Is uncle going across the river in the punt?
26613Let''s take our skates first thing in the morning down to that man who sharpens things at the boathouse; will you?
26613Looks as though two enormous animals had come down the hillside, does n''t it?
26613Maggie?
26613No?
26613Not one of_ ours_?
26613Now, here is the front of the old house----"Allow me to keep this picture for a little while, will you, Miss Fielding?
26613Now,said Trix Davenport, the coxswain,"are we going to ask that boy to get out the launch and follow us?"
26613Oh, indeed?
26613On the porch? 26613 Or a dog?"
26613Pretty landscapes about the college, are n''t they?
26613Remember all those bags and that enormous trunk she brought?
26613Remember the girl we found over here that night in the snowstorm?
26613Roll_ what_? 26613 See these photographs?
26613Seeing the sights,_ mes infantes_?
26613Shall I hustle right over to Cheslow for the doctor?
26613Shall we all take out accident policies?
26613Shall we take off our skates and walk over the island, girls?
26613Should we sacrifice ourselves for your benefit, do you think, Jennie?
26613Suppose it''s a_ man_?
26613Suspect what?
26613Thank you,Ruth said again, and Helen found her voice to ask:"Are all the seniors in Hoskin Hall, and all the freshmen at Dare Hall?"
26613That is the girl who left Ardmore last year?
26613That lovely new silk?
26613That what?
26613The girl who looked like that Maggie?
26613The one over yonder, on the other side of the island?
26613The teacher did n''t advise you to eat_ all_ the vegetables there were, did she?
26613Then we are sheep and the seniors are wolves, are they? 26613 Then you have no reason for going back to the camp?"
26613Then, why not? 26613 This is Dare Hall, is n''t it?"
26613Uncle Jabez,she returned rather tartly,"have I been spending much of_ your_ money lately?"
26613Uncle Jabez,the girl of the Red Mill said to the old man, softly,"do you know something?"
26613Uncomfortable?
26613Understand what?
26613Wal, is it_ my_ fault?
26613Want to crab the film?
26613Was it a girl?
26613We can not wait to hear it all, Miss-- Betty, did you say your name was? 26613 We-- we can do nothing for you?"
26613Well, Miss Fielding?
26613Well, might n''t it be she, or a party she may be with?
26613Well, now that''s settled,laughed Ruth,"do something for me, will you?"
26613Well, why did n''t you escape it by refusing to come, or else by bringing a lunch?
26613Well?
26613What are you going to do about that tam of yours, Heavy?
26613What class color?
26613What d''you mean?
26613What did she want to go to college for?
26613What did we come out for?
26613What do you know about_ that_?
26613What do you mean, Miss Cullam? 26613 What do you mean, Miss Fielding?"
26613What do you mean? 26613 What do you suppose ever became of that girl?"
26613What do you suppose it means? 26613 What do you suppose makes her wear it, anyway?
26613What do you suppose my father will say to me in June?
26613What do you suppose_ she_ was after-- and what is this one over here on the island for?
26613What do you take me for?
26613What does that mean? 26613 What does this mean?"
26613What does what mean?
26613What does_ that_ matter?
26613What fur, I''d like to know?
26613What girl now? 26613 What girl?"
26613What girl?
26613What girl?
26613What is it, dear?
26613What is it?
26613What is that thing?
26613What is that you say?
26613What is that, please?
26613What is the Stone Face?
26613What island?
26613What kind of boat?
26613What meanest thou, my fair young lady?
26613What means to you?
26613What now?
26613What old things?
26613What seemed strange?
26613What system, I''d like to know?
26613What was her name?
26613What wo n''t you think of next, Jennie Stone?
26613What you got? 26613 What''s the drawback?"
26613What''s the matter with you, Tom Cameron?
26613What''s the matter, Ruthie?
26613What''s the matter?
26613What''s the odds?
26613What''s_ she_ got to do with_ us_?
26613What, my dear?
26613What? 26613 What?"
26613What_ are_ you rubbering at, Heavy?
26613What_ can_ she be doing out here?
26613What_ did_ you see, Jennie Stone?
26613What_ do_ you mean, Heavy?
26613What_ do_ you mean, Ruth Fielding?
26613Where ye goin''to find the gal?
26613Where''s Johnny?
26613Who are you talking about, Miss Fielding?
26613Who can she be? 26613 Who ever would camp over on Bliss Island on a night like this?"
26613Who in''tarnation let a gal like that go out in a boat alone, and without airy oar?
26613Who is it? 26613 Who is she, Heavy?"
26613Who knows?
26613Who mentioned hazing? 26613 Who says so?"
26613Who under the sun could she be, then?
26613Who''s goin''to pay her wages?
26613Who''s goin''to pay him?
26613Who_ can_ she be?
26613Why did you come so early?
26613Why do n''t you roll, Heavy?
26613Why do you wear it, then?
26613Why has n''t she?
26613Why not? 26613 Why-- aren''t you?"
26613Will you tell me, please, why you are wearing that tam- o''-shanter?
26613Wonder if the seniors are just helping out their friends among the tradespeople? 26613 Would n''t it be great?
26613Yes; what''s all the disturbance?
26613Yes?
26613You are just entering, are you not-- you and your friend?
26613You girls have drawn your room numbers, I presume?
26613You know what I''d love to do this winter?
26613You wonder what?
26613You would n''t?
26613You''re from Ardmore, are n''t you?
26613You''re pretty sure of that, Ruth Fielding, are you?
26613Your name is n''t_ Fielding_?
26613_ Who_ do_ what_?
26613_ Who_ must do, Ruthie? 26613 A cramp?
26613A freshie?"
26613After writing a moving picture drama?
26613Ai n''t nothin''the matter, is there?"
26613And a visitor?
26613And she says her name is''Maggie''?
26613And such a wealth of colors?"
26613And then,"added the fleshy girl,"the other day when we had such a scrumptuous dinner-- was it Columbus Day?
26613And what would the girl say downstairs under me?"
26613And who would not love the woman, who was everybody''s aunt but nobody''s relative?
26613Any particular girl?"
26613Are you going to give right in--_so_ easy?"
26613Beard the lions in their den?"
26613But how can we discover what became of them if the girl has disappeared again?"
26613But why come at all?
26613But, as the advertisements say:''Eventually, so why not now?''
26613But----""But what?"
26613CHAPTER V GETTING SETTLED"What does this mean, Heavy Jennie?"
26613CHAPTER XXII CAN IT BE A CLUE?
26613Ca n''t you read the handwriting on the wall?"
26613Can It Be a Clue?
26613Did it squirm much?"
26613Did you ever see so many caps of one kind and color in all your life?"
26613Did you ever see such a person?
26613Do I bulge_ much_?"
26613Do n''t you realize that you are about to be flung over a cliff and that a mad bull is waiting bel- o- o- w to catch you on his horns?
26613Do n''t you see they are runny?"
26613Do n''t you understand?"
26613Do they?"
26613Do we, girls?"
26613Do you know, all they give us here is_ cots_ to sleep on?
26613Do you remember her, May?"
26613Does n''t she, Helen?"
26613F.''What did I tell you?
26613Finally she asked:"Are you sure, Becky, that you have quite complete files here of this Richmond paper?
26613For all the war time, I mean?"
26613Had this girl whom Jennie had seen gone in that direction?
26613Has she got some ketchin''disease?"
26613Have you stuck to your vegetable diet, as I advised?"
26613How?"
26613I believe so-- I was tempted to eat one of my old- time''full and plenty''meals, and what do you think?"
26613I wonder what she did bring in that trunk, anyway?
26613If I''d had to go to work----""But could n''t you find something to do?"
26613If it was Maggie over on that island, why was she there?"
26613Is n''t it, dear?
26613Is there anything modest about the motion picture business in_ any_ of its branches?"
26613It is n''t a disease, is it?"
26613It will not be pleasant to gain the reputation of being Ardmore''s heavyweight, will it?"
26613It wo n''t hurt to bow to a custom, will it?
26613Let me laugh, wo n''t you?"
26613Must we?
26613Not Maggie?"
26613Now, when I was over there with father the other day, what do you suppose is his chief decoration on his room walls?"
26613Quite a ridiculous situation, was it not?
26613Ridiculous, was n''t it?"
26613Roll a hoop?"
26613She said, frankly:"I do wish that you would tell us why you are here?
26613Suppose he''s a real nice boy?"
26613Surely, you wo n''t remain all night in this lonely place?
26613That Stone Face was quite an important spot last May-- wasn''t it, Purvis?"
26613The Stone Face, do they call it?"
26613The two entering freshmen felt flattered-- how could they help it?
26613Then she has come back to- day for another attempt at-- at the treasure, shall we call it?
26613There is nobody else on the island, is there?"
26613Was it because her face is in the picture that you borrowed it?"
26613We all rocked in it, one after another, half- hour watches being assigned----""Not at night?"
26613What do you mean by coming here and fooling us all in this way?
26613What do you mean?"
26613What do you mean?"
26613What do you suppose is finally going to happen to that foolish girl?"
26613What do you take me for?"
26613What does that stand for, pray?"
26613What''s that light over there, Ruth?"
26613What''s that?"
26613What''s your name?"
26613What, I''d like to have ye tell me?"
26613What?"
26613What_ are_ you going to do with those papers?"
26613When I returned armed with the tongs in the morning----""Yes, Miss Cullam?"
26613When she reached the Stone Face where Ruth and the strange girl were standing, she cried:"What_ is_ the matter with you, Ruthie Fielding?
26613Where are you staying?"
26613Where ye been all this time?
26613Who ever heard the like?"
26613Who is that on the porch?"
26613Who was she?"
26613Why,_ is_ anybody on the porch?
26613Would Rebecca be caught going to classes in such an outfit?
26613Would you?"
26613You have not seen our library yet, have you, Miss Fielding?"
26613You know all about Maggie, do you?"
26613You remember Mr. Grimes, the Alectrion director who filmed our play at Briarwood?"
26613You remember, do n''t you?
26613You seniors and juniors would have a nice time sending us all to Coventry, would n''t you?
26613You''re never going over to that island?"
26613_ Another gal?_"exclaimed the old miller.
26613_ But what became of them afterward?_""Why, Miss Cullam,"Ruth said thoughtfully,"of course they must still be in the vase."
26613_ Did_ the seniors know the storekeepers had the tams in stock, or have the storekeepers been put wise by our elder sisters at Ardmore?"
26613_ Ruth Fielding!_ Is n''t this delightsome?"
26613_ Were_ they lost, or were n''t they?
26613_ now_ who''s coarse?"
26613and what are_ you_ laughing at?"
26613are you hurt?"
26613asked Ruth, interested,"is she still here?"
26613could you crochet one of these tams?"
26613did you ever see so many tam- o''-shanters in your little lives?
26613exclaimed Helen,"bother about_ her_, will you?"
26613he cried,"are you going into a decline?"
26613he snorted,"it ai n''t so pertic''lar, is it, Niece Ruth?
26613is n''t the outside world beautiful to- night?"
26613it''s the girl who was camping in the snow, is n''t it?"
26613nothing disturbs your calm, does it, Miss Stone?"
26613said Edith, addressing her friends,"would n''t it be nice to have a''close up''taken of that heap of luggage?
26613said Ruth, in surprise:"But, of course, the girls can go there?"
26613said the fleshy girl,"where do you go in this world that you do n''t have to fight for your rights?
26613she said,"I believe I could have stuck to the diet, if----""Well, if what?"
26613what air ye tryin''to do?"
26613what are you trying to do-- you fat person there?"
26613what can this mean?"
26613what do you think of your Aunt Ruth_ now_?"
26613who''s this?"
26613why not?"
26613will you look at the one that Frayne girl is wearing?"
26613you''ve a regular kitchenette here, have n''t you?"
27890Ai n''t you seen that sign, nohow?
27890And are you really going to hunt for the village after that?
27890And are you very much disappointed in me?
27890And did you give up then?
27890And did you go down all those streets again?
27890And did you notice how indignant he was over the ruffians at the claim? 27890 And does this princess come back and haunt the canyon, does she appear when anything crooked is being done around that section?"
27890And the old man?
27890And what did you do?
27890And what girl wants her path strewn with roses anyway?
27890And what is this, Tommy?
27890And what''s your errand over this way?
27890And who knows? 27890 And wo n''t she love it?"
27890And you an Arizona girl?
27890And you did n''t know which street you came up?
27890Are n''t we ever going to get there?
27890Are n''t you going to work them?
27890Are you afraid of the ghost, Mapia?
27890Are you afraid, Kit?
27890Are you going to find a buried city?
27890Are you going to say you do n''t want to go?
27890Are you trying to show off in front of the squaws to make them jealous?
27890Are your western horses very wild?
27890Aw, why rub it in?
27890But are we going to let those fellows get our treasure?
27890But how?
27890But what do we care?
27890But what good would it do him to get rid of the professor?
27890But what has the curse to do with it?
27890But when do we get to Washington?
27890But where do_ we_ get put away for the night?
27890But where to next?
27890But why did the pioneers go out on the desert?
27890But why? 27890 But why?"
27890But your work, your discoveries?
27890Ca n''t I?
27890Ca n''t we go, too?
27890Can you shoot, Bet?
27890Come on, where''s our little orphan?
27890Could n''t you help me over there to that wall? 27890 Did n''t you enjoy it all?"
27890Did you do that, Bet?
27890Digging for treasure, are they?
27890Do n''t you love it?
27890Do n''t you think you can wait until morning?
27890Do n''t_ you_ think he''s handsome, Bet?
27890Do you know enough to pull the trigger?
27890Do you like being a cowboy, Tommy?
27890Do you mean it, Bet?
27890Do you mean it? 27890 Do you mean,"asked Joy,"that you are glad to see that terrible storm?
27890Do you remember the time you made me clean out the cabin three times before I got it right?
27890Do you remember,said Shirley softly,"how Lady Betty rode through the night to help her wounded husband?
27890Do you suppose you could roll down the hill so we can build a camp fire by the stream? 27890 Do you want it recorded?"
27890Does n''t everything smell good?
27890Does that include me, too?
27890Fishing for compliments?
27890For instance, what?
27890For the love of Mike, is that all? 27890 Found what, Joy?
27890Has n''t he? 27890 Have you a bulletin board with the adventures scheduled?"
27890Have you a large family, Professor Gillette?
27890Have you given up the idea of being a mine owner?
27890How can you bear to hit that gentle creature?
27890How can you tell from here?
27890How do you know?
27890How far away is it?
27890How much bullion have you found?
27890How much is Kie Wicks paying you for this job?
27890How will we divide up?
27890I think the storm was a bad omen, do n''t you, Kit? 27890 I wonder how places get their names?"
27890I wonder if he has grown?
27890I wonder what adventures are in store for us there?
27890I wonder who he is?
27890I wonder why Kie did n''t take back the map when you offered it to him? 27890 Is Paul coming with them?"
27890Is everything all right?
27890Is it a hold up?
27890Is it worth it?
27890Is n''t Seedy Saunders handsome?
27890Is n''t it good to see them?
27890Is n''t it good to win out, no matter what you are doing?
27890Is n''t it just too lovely for anything?
27890Is n''t it just too wonderful for anything to own a mine like this? 27890 Is n''t it wonderful?"
27890Is n''t that a lovely copper stain? 27890 Is n''t this wonderful?"
27890Is that true?
27890It''s like an oasis in the desert, is n''t it?
27890Kie Wicks knows we are all backing the old man, so what would be the use of making away with him?
27890Kie Wicks or the ghost of the Indian Chief''s daughter?
27890Let me see?
27890Not any yet, but who knows?
27890Now, Joy Evans, will you behave yourself?
27890Of course it burns, but ca n''t you get that wonderful flavor?
27890Oh, Bet, girl, when will you learn to be cautious? 27890 Oh, Kit,"called Bet excitedly,"is that Powder?
27890Oh, is Mary home?
27890Oh, is n''t it glorious?
27890Oh, what do you mean, Dad?
27890Say, Bet, does everyone at Rockhill_ have_ to fly?
27890Say, what''s the matter with The Merriweather Girls?
27890Say, when do we eat?
27890Say, who are you talking about? 27890 Shooting?"
27890Speaking of Edith, I wonder where she is this summer?
27890Suppose I was to offer you ten apiece, would you get away from here and not come back? 27890 Then he''d get the stone with the markings?"
27890Then what happened to it?
27890Then what happened?
27890Then what shall we do?
27890Then why did n''t he say so? 27890 Then why do n''t you?"
27890They did n''t have to do it, did they?
27890They do n''t have Indian raids any more, do they?
27890This is it, is n''t it, Bet?
27890Was Ramon here in person?
27890Was that there_ all_ the time? 27890 Well, well, and what are you folks doing in the canyon this morning?"
27890Well, what are they called?
27890Well, what are we going to do now?
27890What I want to know is, who will do the actual work?
27890What about Edith Whalen?
27890What about you, Joy? 27890 What about your claims?"
27890What are you going to do with me now?
27890What are you looking forward to, Enid?
27890What are you trying to do, Bet?
27890What did Joy say when you told her that Bob was coming?
27890What did Kie Wicks do?
27890What did you expect me to do in three weeks time? 27890 What do you like, Joy?
27890What do you think of it?
27890What does the ghost look like, Kit?
27890What for?
27890What for?
27890What happened?
27890What is it that your heart desires?
27890What is it, Bet?
27890What is it?
27890What is it?
27890What made you think of coming away up here to locate claims, Kit?
27890What now, Bet?
27890What under the sun is this?
27890What will Bob say to that?
27890What you doing there?
27890What''s he got there, Bet?
27890What''s he got there?
27890What''s his name?
27890What''s keeping her?
27890What''s the idea of that wall about a ranch?
27890What''s the matter now?
27890What''s the matter with the old man?
27890What''s the matter, Bet? 27890 What''s the matter, now, Joy Evans?
27890What''s the matter?
27890What''s the matter?
27890What''s the next thing on the program, Bet?
27890What''s the use of one claim? 27890 What''s the use?"
27890What''s to hinder us from finding our mine and letting Joy dream of romantic brown eyes at the same time?
27890Whatever made you think of it, Bet?
27890Where are they?
27890Where are you going from here?
27890Where are you? 27890 Where do we locate the next claim?"
27890Where do we meet the professor?
27890Where was the village?
27890Where''s Tommy?
27890Where''s your bosom friend today?
27890Where? 27890 Where?"
27890Which are you scared of?
27890Which way did it point?
27890Which way does it point, child?
27890Who could help being friends with your mother, Kit? 27890 Who ever told you there were Indian relics in this section?
27890Who is he?
27890Who is that boy?
27890Who is that man, Kit?
27890Who pays me for that?
27890Who would n''t?
27890Who''s going to stay with me? 27890 Whose is it, Bet?"
27890Why Tommy Sharpe, how can you say such a thing? 27890 Why are we going there?"
27890Why are you so keen about these Indian relics? 27890 Why be so sensible, Judge?"
27890Why did n''t they hide their treasure in some easier place?
27890Why did n''t you just take a taxi to the hotel?
27890Why did they call this Lost Canyon?
27890Why do n''t you go over the hill there? 27890 Why not go tomorrow, if our folks agree?
27890Why not let us think that there is a treasure hidden in the ground somewhere? 27890 Why should anyone want to ride one of those contrary little beasts?
27890Why, Joy Evans, how dare you say that I like to look at Phil''s eyes? 27890 Will we abandon the tunnel and claims and let Kie Wicks have them?"
27890Will you sell them?
27890Wo n''t somebody help her?
27890Wonder how he happened to leave out that one?
27890Wonder what he''s doing over here today? 27890 Would you really do a silly thing like that, Bet Baxter?"
27890Yes, we can do that-- but where''s the romance?
27890Yes, we have the treasure and had the fun of the contest, but what did Kie Wicks get out of it?
27890You did n''t? 27890 You do n''t think his eyes are nice?
27890You like beads?
27890You mean a cowboy?
27890You sell me some baskets?
27890You want them?
27890''Sustenance'', what does that mean?"
27890All that long way?
27890And they''ve stolen my riding shoes and my birds nests and some copper ore. Oh, girls, is n''t it funny?"
27890And when are you going to grow up and be ladylike?"
27890And where was Kie Wicks?
27890And where?"
27890Answer me, Bet?"
27890Are you crazy?
27890Are you glad?"
27890Bet turned to put down the horn toad, then exclaimed excitedly:"Look, Kit, what kind of a bird is that?"
27890But are n''t you glad now?
27890But what about your Indian ruins?
27890But what''s the difference?"
27890But would she reach Joy in time?
27890Ca n''t I speak to him?"
27890Ca n''t you let me be?"
27890Did n''t you pretty nearly bring me up?
27890Did you ever see anything more terrifying?
27890Did you ever see anything so beautiful?"
27890Did you ever see such glorious sunsets?
27890Did you notice his eyes?"
27890Do n''t you think we''d better take it back to the ranch?"
27890Do you have this every day?"
27890Do you often work for Kie Wicks?"
27890Do you think they will make some baskets for me?"
27890Do you think we''d better go back?"
27890Do you think your friend Ramon is suspicious?"
27890Do you want to help the girls fight for the claim?"
27890Do you want to take a look at them?"
27890Does n''t that look like an altar?
27890Does n''t that sound romantic?"
27890Get grey headed and grow a beard?"
27890Had the men kidnapped him as well?
27890How could we?
27890How did you get here and when did you come?"
27890How did you get lost?
27890How did you guess it?"
27890How do you know?
27890I wonder what it''s all about?"
27890I''d....""What would you do, Bet?"
27890If you were a man, whom would you bestow those diamonds on?"
27890In his hand he held something white which he waved as he came up the mountain?
27890Is it really true?
27890Is n''t he a beauty?"
27890Is n''t he a dear to help us out instead of looking for his village?
27890Is n''t it a beauty?
27890Is n''t it funny?"
27890Is n''t it good that he did n''t hear about us finding the treasure?
27890Is n''t it quaint?"
27890Is n''t it refreshing after so many miles of desert?
27890Is n''t that lovely?
27890Is n''t that lucky?"
27890Is n''t that right?"
27890Is n''t that terrible language for educators to use?
27890Is n''t the word''food''polite enough for him?"
27890Kit leaned over and patted his neck with pride as she called:"Look, Bet, is n''t he a beauty?"
27890Kit suddenly opened a door and at Bet''s look of surprise she went on:"You did n''t know there was a door there, did you?
27890Kit, do you think it''s rich ore?"
27890Lady Betty meant a lot to us, did n''t she?
27890Lost Canyon, do you know where Lost Canyon is?"
27890Maude Wicks or yours truly?"
27890Maybe you believe in ghosts yourself, Professor Gillette?"
27890Now tell us, do n''t you think we made a good job of locating those claims?"
27890Otherwise how did Ramon and Kie Wicks find out about the claims in the first place?"
27890Patten?"
27890So what are we to do?"
27890Suddenly Enid called excitedly,"Oh, Kit, is that greenish color on the rock copper stain?"
27890Tell me just why you''d do it?"
27890Tell me why you are crying?"
27890Tell me, do n''t you love me almost as much as you do Young Mary?"
27890That''s a bit of luck, is n''t it?"
27890The driver turned and glanced at Kit, then spoke to Shirley:"How far away do you reckon that lake is, Miss?"
27890Then she started to laugh once more:"What would n''t I give to see Kie Wicks''face when he opens that chest?"
27890Then turning to Bet he said:"Are n''t you going to work your one claim?"
27890To cook and live out like this?"
27890Ugh, Tommy, how could you bear to touch the wriggling thing?"
27890Was n''t he feeling good?
27890Was n''t that silly?"
27890What about it, Paul, can you think of any more interesting way to spend a vacation?
27890What about it?"
27890What are you going to explore?
27890What are you trying to do, jump his claims?"
27890What are you trying to insinuate, Bet Baxter?
27890What day do we start?"
27890What did you find?"
27890What do you call it when you stand off a couple of western bad men, and recapture the tunnel all by yourself?"
27890What do you like to do more than anything else?"
27890What do you think about it, Kit?"
27890What had happened to the other girls?
27890What is it?
27890What under the sun will we do with a copper mine if we do locate one?
27890What use are they?"
27890What was the use?
27890What would Lady Betty Merriweather do?"
27890What would The Merriweather Girls do when they heard about it?
27890What would a grown man want with them?"
27890What''s the use of just looking at the glorious scenery?
27890What?"
27890When there were seven cities of Troy and maybe more, why ca n''t it be possible that there is one buried city here?"
27890Where are you?"
27890Where did you pick this up, Tommy?"
27890Where is it?
27890Where is she?"
27890Where was Joy?
27890Who knows, Bet?
27890Who knows?
27890Who will sleep here?"
27890Who''s coming?"
27890Why all the hurry?"
27890Why all the tears?"
27890Why ca n''t we do it?"
27890Why could n''t the treasure have reposed in that chest ready for them?
27890Why could n''t things have gone smoothly just for once?
27890Why did n''t I think of that myself?
27890Why not dream pleasant things while you''re about it?"
27890Why not have hopes of a mine and forget the treasure?"
27890Why should he be robbed?
27890Why was it that they always had so many disappointments?
27890Will you help me, Judge?
27890Will you let me learn to fly?"
27890Will you let me, truly?"
27890You always liked me better than Young Mary.--Where is she?
27890You''re not by any chance looking for some likely claims, are you?"
1651A letter?
1651A little man, was n''t he, thin, very dark, with black hair?
1651A mode? 1651 Ah ha, you know him then?"
1651Ah so, my lad,said he,"what did you go to Paris for?
1651Ah, he spoke to you about the wedding, then?
1651Ah, it''s you, Plantat,said the doctor in a suppressed tone;"where is Monsieur Domini?"
1651Ah, what matters the countenance-- what does that prove? 1651 Also without diploma?"
1651Always thinking of Laurence?
1651Am I going to be afraid?
1651Am I?
1651An accomplice? 1651 An oversight may, of course, be pardoned; but you can at least tell us in what sort of money Guespin paid for his purchases?"
1651And can you prevent that?
1651And could you find aconitine in Sauvresy''s body?
1651And did he know of this money?
1651And did n''t they have a dirk besides?
1651And he said nothing?
1651And how is madame?
1651And if anybody comes from over yonder?
1651And nobody knew anything of this horrible struggle that was going on in the house?
1651And now what must I do?
1651And now?
1651And that vest is Guespin''s?
1651And the countess?
1651And the countess?
1651And then?
1651And there is nothing more to fear?
1651And this Guespin, as you call him-- did you see him again?
1651And what did she reply?
1651And what did you hear?
1651And what for Heaven''s sake will become of you?
1651And what is this tremendous proof, if you please?
1651And what was the sum- total of the purchase?
1651And where is she living?
1651And where is their chamber?
1651And where were the empty bottles put?
1651And who carried the last half of the money to the upholsterer?
1651And who dared to give you my address?
1651And who is that?
1651And who recognized the photograph?
1651And who, besides a woman''s lover or her husband is admitted to her chamber, or can approach her when she is seated without her turning round?
1651And why did n''t you rejoin your companions at the wedding in the Batignolles?
1651And you are satisfied with the exchange?
1651And you did not try--"What? 1651 And you did not use them?"
1651And you returned all together?
1651And you, Philippe?
1651And you,interrupted M. Lecoq,"did you believe all this story about a jealous servant?"
1651And your cutlass?
1651And-- by the bye, have you heard any news of him lately?
1651Are n''t there six or eight men waiting for somebody here?
1651Are they in the big back room?
1651Are you better, my friend?
1651Are you expecting some new witness?
1651Are you ill or suffering?
1651Are you ill?
1651Are you now in a fit state to answer me?
1651Are you sure of it?
1651Are you sure of what you say?
1651At what hour did you leave the chateau last evening?
1651At what hour?
1651Because--"Are you a friend to his family, and anxious to preserve the great name which he has covered with mud and devoted to infamy?
1651Bertha?
1651But Guespin,anxiously asked the old man,"have you questioned him?"
1651But I-- in fact, I-- was very anxious to talk to you-- about--"About Mademoiselle Laurence?
1651But does it necessarily follow that because Monsieur Tremorel poisoned his friend to marry his widow, he yesterday killed his wife and then fled? 1651 But he will not do it; he loves you--""Are you sure of it?
1651But he''s not alone with monsieur?
1651But how can you imagine that Tremorel succeeded in persuading her to do this wretched act?
1651But how?
1651But now?
1651But some of the wine might sometimes remain in draught?
1651But the girl?
1651But then,said the latter,"how do you explain Guespin''s refusal to speak and to give an account of where he spent the night?"
1651But what matter?
1651But what shall we do with him?
1651But where shall I go?
1651But where shall I see you? 1651 But where shall we go?"
1651But where, when?
1651But where?
1651But who can tell,pursued the wretched man,"where or how she died?
1651But who can this woman be? 1651 But would traces of aconitine be found in a body which had been two years buried?
1651But you did n''t scale a wall and risk the jail without a definite object?
1651But you gave the papers to Madame de Tremorel?
1651But you must have a memorandum of your loans somewhere?
1651But you-- have you still any money? 1651 But your presence is indispensable; without your help I can do nothing:""What could I do?"
1651But, dear, have we been any the less happy because, on the day after our marriage, I made a will bequeathing you all my fortune? 1651 But, dear,"responded Bertha,"are n''t you afraid that the count will be bored a little here?"
1651But, have n''t you just purchased an estate near d''Evry?
1651But, my dear fellow,cried Sauvresy,"how can we clear up your affairs?"
1651But,objected Dr. Gendron,"if Guespin is innocent, why do n''t he talk?
1651But,objected the latter,"you saw Guespin''s countenance?"
1651By what right have you come in here?--Who are you?
1651By whom?
1651Can you bring a witness to prove that you went home at one?
1651Come, Master Robelot,said the old man,"what were you doing here?"
1651Come, go along; or shall I ring, or fire a pistol to bring them here?
1651Come, take it back, keep it--"What shall I do with it?
1651Consideration? 1651 Did he say assassins?"
1651Did he write this narrative, and if not, who did? 1651 Did you know what a wretch Tremorel was?"
1651Did you not permit me to hope?
1651Do men like you believe men like me? 1651 Do n''t you approve of my project?
1651Do you believe in Mademoiselle Laurence''s complicity?
1651Do you believe that Hector troubles himself about his future? 1651 Do you believe that?"
1651Do you comprehend?
1651Do you distrust me, Monsieur Plantat?
1651Do you feel a little better, dear Clement?
1651Do you know Guespin?
1651Do you know what else I did?
1651Do you know who the man was?
1651Do you know,asked he,"to whom Sauvresy confided them for keeping?"
1651Do you know,asked he,"whether the rendezvous at the Hotel Belle Image had ceased?"
1651Do you know,said he,"that our friend has an income of sixty thousand crowns?
1651Do you persist in what you say, Bertaud?
1651Do you share,he asked,"the opinion of the mayor regarding the Tremorels?"
1651Do you swear to obey me?
1651Do you think I care about him? 1651 Do you understand now?"
1651Do you want anything?
1651Enough? 1651 Five minutes?
1651For me? 1651 For the last time, Hector, are we really to part?"
1651Had Monsieur and Madame Sauvresy no children?
1651Had she seen no one?
1651Has Guespin been carried back to prison?
1651Has he confessed?
1651Has he got common- sense, then?
1651Has this Guespin been long in the house?
1651Have I run after his wife?
1651Have all the servants gone to bed?
1651Have they been married long?
1651Have you been out to- night, Madame?
1651Have you changed your mind about speaking?
1651Have you decided to tell us about yourself?
1651Have you heard the news?
1651Have you opened it?
1651He? 1651 He?
1651Hector would not kill himself,said she,"but I--""Well, what do you wish to say?
1651His will?
1651How are you, dear Clement?
1651How can I ever repay your devotion?
1651How can you ask me, when you know that I would go through the fire for you? 1651 How could you divine that?"
1651How did you find out?
1651How do I know? 1651 How do you explain that?"
1651How do you know?
1651How is that?
1651How long ago was their last interview?
1651How many days have I been sick?
1651How many servants are there in the house?
1651How so?
1651How so?
1651How? 1651 I beg your pardon-- what shall I do if Monsieur Wilson simply returns to his house?"
1651I do n''t doubt it; but when?
1651I do n''t know, but would n''t this money bring in more? 1651 I have but one means of keeping a criminal like Tremorel out of the courts; will it succeed?"
1651I have, perhaps, incommoded you a little this morning, Monsieur Lecoq?
1651I suppose so; but why do you ask?
1651I will betray the fact of your relations with me; who will then believe that you are not my accomplice?
1651I, marry? 1651 I?
1651If I give you my word of honor to tell you the truth, you''ll believe me, wo n''t you?
1651If he is guilty,muttered M. Plantat,"why on earth has he returned?"
1651If it were he?
1651Is he dead?
1651Is it not frightful? 1651 Is it possible?"
1651Is it secure?
1651Is it true?
1651Is n''t it time to begin?
1651Is not twelve hours enough to mature a system of defence?
1651Is there no hope then? 1651 It was for money then; it must have been known--""What?"
1651It''s so, is n''t it?
1651It''s true, I have changed a little-- but what would you have? 1651 Jenny?"
1651Laurence, my love,he stammered,"what will-- become of you?"
1651Let us see,said he after a pause:"where did you pass the night?
1651Lord, what''s the matter?
1651May be; but will she be any the less dishonored and forever lost? 1651 Me?
1651Me? 1651 Monsieur Lecoq?"
1651Monsieur Wilson?
1651Monsieur called me?
1651Monsieur perhaps uses them?
1651Must I die, then?
1651Nevertheless, it is necessary that you should know--"What? 1651 No,"said Sauvresy,"you will not need--""What?
1651Now get up here, and tell us what you were about in the garden?
1651Now, sir,he continued, when the valet presented himself,"do you know whether Guespin had any money yesterday?"
1651Of what good is this?
1651Oh, Laurence, my beloved, why did you not confide in me? 1651 Oh, my daughter, was it that you feared the world-- the wicked, hypocritical world?
1651Oh, yes, we will find her, wo n''t we? 1651 Oh,"cried the doctor,"what now?"
1651Oh,said the doctor,"is it possible?"
1651On foot or in a cab?
1651One French shawl, thirty- five francs, whose is it?
1651Perhaps,said he,"Monsieur has, by chance, need of me?"
1651Poison?
1651Really, now, have n''t you heard? 1651 Regarding Guespin?"
1651Several times?
1651Shall you return to Paris to- night, Monsieur Lecoq?
1651So you did as he told you?
1651So you think he''ll come out?
1651So,said she, with her teeth tightly shut to contain herself,"so you are going to get married?"
1651Speak, wo n''t you?
1651Stop, though-- haven''t you heard of that horrible affair?
1651That is to say, he is saved?
1651That will, perhaps, be long and difficult?
1651Then no full bottles were ever kept in the dining- room?
1651Then why did you get up?
1651Then why have you such a horror of a trial?
1651Then you rang?
1651Then you''ve got the address of Pelagie Taponnet, called Jenny?
1651Then,resumed M. Courtois,"what implements did you use?
1651There is news, then? 1651 There was n''t any poison in it, was there?"
1651There were no decanters of rum or cognac in any of the cupboards?
1651These conjectures are very shrewd,interposed M. Plantat;"but how is it that Guespin did not rejoin his comrades in the Batignolles?
1651These gentlemen perhaps wish to speak to Monsieur the Count?
1651This is a very sad event,said he, in a tone which he forced himself to make perfectly disinterested;"but after all, how does it concern us?
1651To rob-- what?
1651To you?
1651Tremorel speaks English, does n''t he?
1651True; but are not these very clean and distinct? 1651 Truly now, do n''t you love Laurence?"
1651Very well, Monsieur Lecoq; only if I have to take a train--"What, have n''t you any money?
1651Was he really drunk?
1651Was it customary here at the chateau, to bring up the wine before it was wanted?
1651Was it not R---, of Paris, who attended him?
1651Was it not for their interest to make it appear that the crime was committed after the last train for Paris had left? 1651 Was it really a slip, or not?"
1651We must be patient,said he,"and wait--""Wait-- for what?
1651Well, I know nearly all about it-- that''s honest, ai n''t it? 1651 Well, Monsieur Lecoq,"asked he,"have you found any new traces?"
1651Well, but what will you do?
1651Well, did they tell you what Guespin went there to obtain?
1651Well, where did you go?
1651Well,said he to the detective in his most ironical tone,"what do you think of your friend now?
1651Well-- what do you think?
1651Well?
1651Well?
1651Were they rich?
1651What are you going to do?
1651What can they be up to in there?
1651What did it contain?
1651What did she deceive her husband for? 1651 What did they say?"
1651What do you mean? 1651 What do you want of him?"
1651What do you want, my good man?
1651What do you want?
1651What do you want?
1651What do you wish?
1651What do you wish?
1651What does this letter mean,cried she warmly,"which I found in his pocket, six months ago?
1651What has become of the package?
1651What is he coming to?
1651What is the matter, my friend?
1651What is this?
1651What kind of a man is this?
1651What makes you think that?
1651What matters Tremorel to me?
1651What matters it? 1651 What matters it?
1651What misfortune can have happened to him?
1651What more?
1651What name did this customer give?
1651What papers?
1651What person?
1651What shall I do?
1651What shall we do?
1651What the deuce brought you here?
1651What was Jenny''s condition before this windfall?
1651What was the errand which you were to do for the count?
1651What were his duties?
1651What would he do,thought he,"if Bertha told him?
1651What would you do, fool?
1651What''s that to me?
1651What''s the matter, you rascals?
1651What''s the matter? 1651 What''s the matter?"
1651What, a letter from Mademoiselle Laurence? 1651 What, are you ill?"
1651What, ca n''t you give a rough guess?
1651What, dear sir,said he,"do n''t you know me?
1651What, from neither one of them?
1651What, is your plan made?
1651What, you again, Palot? 1651 What?
1651What? 1651 What?
1651What? 1651 What?"
1651What?
1651What?
1651What?
1651When did you last do so?
1651Where are your papers?
1651Where does he live?
1651Where is it?
1651Where is your boat?
1651Where on earth did this old fellow get all these details?
1651While waiting,proposed the mayor,"perhaps you would like to see the scene of the crime?"
1651Who are you?
1651Who gave you that?
1651Who has told you about these things?
1651Who is this Sauvresy,he inquired,"of whom you speak?"
1651Who knows?
1651Who knows?
1651Who told you it had been destroyed?
1651Who told you so?
1651Why add another grief to my life? 1651 Why ca n''t I ask Guespin two or three questions?"
1651Why did he leave me? 1651 Why did n''t he want to tell where he passed the night?
1651Why did n''t you divulge them?
1651Why did you seek for me?
1651Why do you wish for my death? 1651 Why not?"
1651Why seek to mislead me? 1651 Why should I?"
1651Why should he? 1651 Why should we?
1651Why so? 1651 Why so?"
1651Why so?
1651Why there and not here?
1651Why this flight?
1651Why was I brought here?
1651Why, am I mistaken?
1651Why, then, did n''t you tell me? 1651 Why?
1651Why? 1651 Why?"
1651Why?
1651Will Monsieur be back this evening?
1651With your cutlass, hey?
1651Would it be agreeable to you to partake of another modest dinner with me, and accept my cordial hospitality?
1651Would it be bold to ask who gave it to you?
1651Would you believe,said he, laughing,"that he thinks our worthy Courtois a man of wit?
1651Would you do as he has done?
1651Yes,said the young man, hot, and out of breath,"I''ve been watching you the last two minutes; what were you doing here?"
1651You are suffering, Madame?
1651You are thinking of him, then?
1651You dear silly creature,said Sauvresy,"do you think that makes one die?"
1651You did n''t mention my name, did you?
1651You did not leave each other?
1651You die, Clement? 1651 You have at least kept your bonds, bills, and the sums of your various debts?"
1651You have been listening, eh?
1651You have not used it?
1651You kill yourself? 1651 You knew, perhaps, that the count received a considerable sum yesterday?"
1651You know all, now,resumed he, in a calmer tone;"consent to aid me, wo n''t you?
1651You know her, then?
1651You know something about it, then?
1651You know the events of this night, do n''t you?
1651You really think so?
1651You say that you saw the body from your boat?
1651You think so?
1651You think so?
1651You went away all together?
1651You were not aware, then,resumed the judge,"that I was waiting for you?"
1651You were there, were you?
1651You will let me speak five minutes with the Count de Tremorel, will you not?
1651You will not kill yourself, will you? 1651 You will, wo n''t you?"
1651Your name and business?
1651Your name?
1651''Pardon me,''said he, abruptly,''you will permit me, will you not?
1651''What,''cried I,''a portrait?''
1651A last time, will you answer?"
1651A one- thousand- franc note?"
1651Ah, do n''t you see that I suffer horribly?
1651Ah, who would not have been deceived, as I was?
1651Ah, why ca n''t I dispense with following you?"
1651All?
1651Am I not ravished when I encounter a fine crime?"
1651And do you know such an angel?"
1651And have you been so kind as to do the service I asked?"
1651And it was for love of me that you poisoned Sauvresy?"
1651And should he not seize so good an opportunity to avenge himself for the favors which overwhelmed him?
1651And suppose they did suspect?"
1651And then?
1651And what did he risk?
1651And what does this address mean?"
1651And what is his situation?
1651And what satisfaction would he get?
1651And what think you of this proof, pray, of the prisoner''s guilt?"
1651And what time of all times, does he choose for this display?
1651And who knows that her truth will not be suspected?
1651And why, if you please?
1651And, stop; you have a copy of it, have n''t you?
1651Are n''t your eye and smile the same?
1651Are they fools, or are they mighty sly?
1651Are you free?
1651Are you going to talk nonsense again?"
1651Are you so forgetful?
1651As soon as Francois had shut the door, M. Lecoq turned to Plantat and asked:"What do you think now?"
1651At Paris or Orcival?
1651Bertha fixed her large, clear eyes upon him, and with frightful calmness said:"What do you know about it?"
1651Bertha, what did you dream of when you were sleeping in my arms?
1651Besides, could he appear in the world, when all Paris knew of his intention?
1651Besides, had I the right to deprive poor Sauvresy, who was dying in order to avenge himself, of his vengeance?"
1651But I see something else--""What?"
1651But can we really suppress this affair?
1651But do n''t you see that if Guespin was at the Vulcan''s Forges at ten he could not have got back to Valfeuillu before midnight?
1651But how can I find out-- how?
1651But how can we secure this wretch Tremorel from a conviction?
1651But how could he live during these days?
1651But how had this been done?
1651But is not the wretch thus securely hidden from us?
1651But let''s go to the house at once; have you got a plan of the ground- floor?"
1651But look here, do you know what you would do if you were reasonable?"
1651But now he became hateful; should she submit to his interference in a matter which was life or death to her?
1651But the other two?
1651But what do we find here?"
1651But what motives urged him?
1651But what punishment should he inflict?
1651But what was Sauvresy''s purpose?
1651But what was she doing?
1651But what-- how much?
1651But when had Bertha written these few lines?
1651But where find a branch office?
1651But where?"
1651But why should he have gone into the garden?
1651Ca n''t a man do you a service, without continually making you feel it?
1651Can I live now?"
1651Can a few locks and bars shelter her from eager curiosity?
1651Can we admit that she had the presence of mind to post the letter in another quarter than that in which she was?
1651Can you imagine his immense terror?
1651Can you imagine that of her own free will she compelled herself to announce her suicide at the risk of killing her parents with grief?
1651Can you pity the sad fate of the poor actress who poisons herself, when you know that on going out you will meet her on the boulevards?
1651Can you search one by one all the houses in Paris?"
1651Could justice protect her, even if it would, from the publicity in which trials are conducted?
1651Could n''t you speculate on the Bourse, bet at the races, play at Baden, or something?
1651Could the obtaining of that note have been the motive of the crime at Valfeuillu?
1651Delirium--""Have I really been delirious?"
1651Did M. Plantat give an absolutely disinterested opinion, or did he make an insinuation?
1651Did he fear to be ridiculed?
1651Did he meditate leaving the country?
1651Did he recognize her?
1651Did he simply slip them into his pocket, or did he have them done up in a bundle, and if so, how?"
1651Did he want to tear it up?
1651Did n''t you understand yours, or what its effects were?
1651Did they think they should thus in some sort expiate their crime?
1651Distrusting foul play, I put the striking apparatus in motion-- do you recall it?
1651Do n''t we know if you and I were arrested to- morrow on a terrible charge, what our bearing would be?"
1651Do n''t you know it?
1651Do n''t you know that I am married?
1651Do n''t you read the papers?
1651Do n''t you recognize me?"
1651Do n''t you remember that I noticed his strange look, and said to you that my husband suspected something?
1651Do n''t you see now why he put forward the hands?
1651Do n''t you see that I hold in my hands the honor and lives of fifty people?
1651Do n''t you see that he can deprive me of his millions, and reduce me to my dowry of fifty thousand francs?"
1651Do n''t you think society is unjust toward notaries?"
1651Do you comprehend everything?"
1651Do you find the least trace of a drop of water?
1651Do you forget the steps in the vestibule the night I went to your room?
1651Do you imagine that we do n''t know anything?
1651Do you know what became of that piece of Guespin''s vest?"
1651Do you know what it will tell you?
1651Do you know where her aunt, whom she was visiting, lives?"
1651Do you know whether Tremorel saw Jenny after Sauvresy''s death?"
1651Do you know why he did not marry you?
1651Do you really hope that I did this to prepare a scene of heartrending farewells, and to give you my benediction at the end?
1651Do you recall the countess''s body this morning?
1651Do you remember the day when I complained of a morbid taste for pepper?
1651Do you see any objections?"
1651Do you suppose I am interested to have you guillotined?
1651Do you think I am such a fool as to use arsenic?"
1651Do you think I tell all I know?
1651Do you think it is enough, in order to disguise yourself, to change the color of your beard?
1651Do you think that was a less horrid crime?
1651Do you think the judge has any secret grudge against you?
1651Do you understand?"
1651Do you wish me to strike you?"
1651Does not this case unite every feature which gives success to judicial dramas?
1651Does that clear Guespin, and show that he took no part in the murder?"
1651Does the warrant give me the right to search any house in which I may have reason to suppose he is hiding himself?
1651Every man for himself, is n''t it?
1651For what had he lived?
1651Give up his wife to the law?
1651Had Hector foresight enough to suggest this trick to her?
1651Had I a right to dishonor my friend and ruin his happiness and life, because of this ridiculous, hopeless love?
1651Had he lost it in the woods?
1651Had he not another daughter to cherish?
1651Had he not heard there were clerks who hardly got that in a year?
1651Had not M. Lecoq already divined the secret thoughts he dared not impart to him, and read his heart from the first?
1651Had not his sojourn at Valfeuillu been a continual suffering?
1651Had the detective put his coat of arms up there?
1651Had they seen the prisoner there?"
1651Has the count''s body been found?"
1651Have I any need of him?
1651Have I done my duty?
1651Have I not sufficiently expiated it?"
1651Have n''t I as well as you had experience in these things?
1651He added aloud:"What, no trial?"
1651He added, turning to M. Domini:"Do you recall the allusions of Bertaud, monsieur?"
1651He awaits, what-- a miracle?
1651He did not betray this, however, but said, with charming modesty, after each new adventure:"When will they stop talking about me?"
1651He did not expect to see her so gentle and subdued; who would have looked for such concessions, so easily obtained?
1651He dream of a home, or a family?
1651He might go in, fire a revolver at them, and they would not have time to comprehend it, for their agony would be but for a moment; and then?
1651He muttered, in an abashed and admiring tone:"What, is it possible?
1651He put the coverings back upon the middle of the bed, and went on:"Both of the pillows are much rumpled, are they not?
1651He runs to the window-- what does he see?
1651He stammered:"True-- what?"
1651He summons up his energies, rises, and do you know what he does?
1651He told me he wanted to see Monsieur Plantat, and I--""And-- Mademoiselle Laurence?"
1651He took his pistols out of his pockets, showed them to her, and went on:"You see these toys?
1651He turned to the men whom he had sent out among the upholsterers:"Which of you was successful?"
1651He turned toward the Corbeil policeman, and abruptly asked him:"Is this all you know?"
1651He was not tempted to return to Paris; what could he do there?
1651He, kill himself?
1651Hector waited a long time, when one of the clerks, who was writing at a desk, called out:"Whose are the twelve hundred francs?"
1651Hector was evidently refusing what she wished; then she shook her finger menacingly, and tossed her head angrily, as if she were saying:"You wo n''t?
1651Her countenance and voice were so strange that Tremorel, despite his distress, was struck by it, and asked:"What is the matter?"
1651His eyes stuck out of his head, and he stuttered like this--''What''s- the- matter?
1651His impatience was so great that he ran toward him, saying:"Well?"
1651How can I ever repay you?"
1651How can I find out whether Clement, within the past day or two, has not changed his will in regard to me?"
1651How can that help us?"
1651How can we know what is secretly said against us; will we ever know it?"
1651How could he shake off this dull existence, and rid himself of these stiffly good people who surrounded him, these friends of Sauvresy?
1651How could he, a man of delicacy, prudence and finesse, have committed such an awkward mistake?
1651How could she prove that he, who loved and had married another woman, had any interest in Sauvresy''s death?
1651How did you get this money?
1651How die, then?
1651How do I know?
1651How do you find it?"
1651How had the lovely young girl, so much beloved by the old justice, come to such a dreadful extremity?
1651How is Jenny mixed up in this affair?
1651How is it, you may ask, that Paris still holds so many professional rogues?
1651How much is there in all?"
1651How search the locked drawers?
1651How should he do it?
1651How was he led to this terrible impulse to kill his wife, and make it appear that he, too, had been murdered?"
1651How was it he had his purse full of money?"
1651How was it he had seen nothing of it?
1651How was it that he, the first personage in the place, had been absolutely ignorant of these meetings?
1651How was it, if he had all this information, that he has said nothing?"
1651How was that?
1651How would a man reason who was base enough to rob his friend of his wife, and then see her poison her husband before his very eyes?
1651How would he live?
1651I always spent my month''s wages in advance, it''s true-- but what would you have?
1651I ask of you, is it possible?
1651I have wasted my life, but whom have I wronged if not myself?
1651I said to myself, when I saw three women of such different characters smitten with him,''what is there in him to be so loved?''"
1651I see something underneath all this-- but what?
1651I was going for you--""Does your master wish me?"
1651If he did not, what would become of him?
1651If he had any heart, would he have gone to live with you as he has?
1651If he insisted on marrying, would not Bertha carry out her threats?
1651If you are innocent, help us to find the man who is n''t: What were you doing from Wednesday evening till Thursday morning?"
1651Is he not free?"
1651Is his wife really dead; will she not suddenly rise up, run to the window, and scream for help?
1651Is it a heavy hatchet?"
1651Is it a new thing?"
1651Is it not always so?
1651Is it true?"
1651Is n''t she here, then?"
1651Is n''t that so?"
1651Is not the position of the terrible wound below the left shoulder thus explained-- a wound almost vertical, its direction being from right to left?"
1651Is she an accomplice, or has she only been made to play an ignorant part in it?
1651Is the trace of the hatchet true or false, good or bad?
1651Is there so far a circumstance or detail of the crime, which does not explain the count''s guilt?"
1651Is this letter under the mantel- shelf?
1651It remains for me to ask this man how Guespin carried away the articles which he bought?
1651It seems strange to you, does n''t it?
1651It''s true I have been before the police court, and condemned for night poaching-- what does that prove?
1651Look here; do you see these three marks, near each other, on the floor?
1651Look in that glass, and tell me if the expression of your face is not just what it was before?
1651Lost?
1651M. Domini''s surprise increased every minute as he proceeded; while at times, exclamations of astonishment passed his lips:"Is it possible?"
1651M. Gendron, hoping, not without reason, that he might have some influence over his former assistant, spoke:"Answer us; what did you come for?"
1651M. Lecoq finished his recital; he tranquilly munched a lozenge, and added:"What does Monsieur the Judge of Instruction think now?"
1651M. Lecoq shrugged his shoulders, and proceeded:"Let''s see; did you ask what was the shape of the dirk bought by Guespin?
1651M. Lecoq went on:"Were the windows open this morning as they are now?"
1651M. Lecoq''s obstinate muteness annoyed Plantat, who finally asked him:"Have you seen all you want to see?"
1651Might not one of the servants return?
1651Must he always submit to-- if he was not grateful for-- the superiority of a man whom he had always been wo nt to treat as his inferior?
1651Must he make up his mind to work?
1651Must not she say where, when, and how she fell, and repeat the villain''s words to her?
1651Must she not, in that case, appear in public, answer the judge''s questions, and narrate the story of her shame and misfortunes?
1651Must we wait till some accident reveals him to us?
1651No, eh?
1651Now, how came she there?
1651Now, what liqueurs did the count drink?"
1651Oh, have I not a right to a terrible vengeance?"
1651Oh, my Laurence, was there no one to hear your last agony and save you?
1651Pardon?
1651Perhaps you ask, why I did not speak to him about it?
1651Poison, or perhaps charcoal-- like the little cook?
1651Put Courtois on his guard?
1651Reappear on the theatre of his glory, now that he was fallen, ruined, ridiculous by his unsuccessful suicide?
1651Sauvresy''s illness now became so serious that Tremorel began to despair; he became alarmed; what position would his friend''s death leave him in?
1651She answered with a"prrr,"and added vivaciously:"Of him?
1651She began, however, to drink furiously, falling lower and lower every week--""And the count really consented to see her again?"
1651She is dishonored, an object of contempt, perhaps still adores this wretch-- what matters it?
1651She is short, is n''t she, quite pretty, brown and pale, with very large eyes?"
1651She lifted her tearful eyes to him, and said:"You know, then?"
1651She nerved herself to go on:"Are you still suffering?"
1651She scanned him with a half- angry, half- surprised air, and said:"Yes, it is I; what of it?"
1651She was timid and reserved with all but him-- was he not her old friend, the confidant of all her little griefs and her innocent hopes?
1651She will yearn to hide herself-- but where?
1651She wondered whether she were not going mad; had she heard aright?
1651Should he fly?
1651Should he let this chance slip?
1651Should he still appear the same in his conduct toward her, pretending not to have seen her?
1651That I did this crime-- is that what you want?
1651The eyes of the other two met as if to question each other, and M. Lecoq continued:"What can a fellow do?
1651The truth?
1651Then by an act of heroism, he condescended to add:"What do you think I ought to do?"
1651Then you have no idea of what I have endured?
1651Then you''ve also bought something in the way of mines, at auction, have n''t you?"
1651Then, to be certain, I said,''He''s a very good- looking fellow, ai n''t he now?
1651Then, why"he,"instead of,"Clement?"
1651These premature conjectures?"
1651Till he''s dead?"
1651To be free and marry each other?
1651To both, or only the count?
1651To show Guespin''s picture and detail the crime to the people at Vulcan''s Forges?
1651To whom?
1651To work?
1651Tremorel must have told her some false story-- but what?"
1651Velvet in July-- are you making fun of me?"
1651Was M. Lecoq in earnest now, or was he playing a part?
1651Was Sauvresy capable of all this?"
1651Was he an accomplice or entirely innocent?
1651Was it long or short, wide or narrow?"
1651Was it not his brilliant past which flickered and consumed in the fireplace?
1651Was it not more likely that one of his men had done it?
1651Was it really true that her husband had perceived that he was being poisoned, and yet said nothing; nay, that he had even deceived the doctor?
1651Was not his self- conceit tortured from morning till night?
1651Was she handsome?
1651Was she not the cause of all?
1651Was she up taking tea at three in the morning?
1651Was that really his Laurence there before him?
1651Was this folly?
1651Was this really Plantat''s opinion, or did he only report the morning''s theory?
1651We ought, above all, to count upon the firmness of Mademoiselle Courtois; can we, think you?"
1651Well, do you want a more certain proof?
1651Well, sir,"asked M. Domini, turning to the detective,"have you made any fresh discoveries?"
1651Well, yes; it''s true, I''m a debauchee, a gambler, a drunkard, an idler, but what of it?
1651Well, you have read this letter; but have you studied it, examined the hand- writing, weighed the words, remarked the context of the sentences?"
1651Were you not my own?
1651What am I at his house, but a living witness of his generosity and devotion?
1651What are all these agents and attorneys doing at Valfeuillu?
1651What are then the count''s thoughts?
1651What can be done?
1651What can he do to me?
1651What can reason or irony do against passion?
1651What care I for your''chance?''
1651What cared he for Sauvresy?
1651What chastisement could expiate the horrible tortures which he endured?
1651What could I do?
1651What could he, with his habits and tastes, do with a few thousand crowns a year?
1651What death did she choose?
1651What did I see?
1651What did he know?
1651What did they see?
1651What did you do then?"
1651What did you expect from this wretch for whom you had the frightful courage to kill me, with a kiss upon your lips, slowly, hour by hour?
1651What difference did it make whether one were ill or well?
1651What do you suppose he does there?"
1651What do you want me to say?
1651What do you want to kill yourself for?"
1651What do you want?"
1651What does he do?
1651What else?
1651What fate can he be reserving for us?"
1651What for?"
1651What good did it do him?
1651What had Sauvresy seen-- anything?
1651What had become of it?
1651What had become of the letter?
1651What had brought her to that room, at that hour?
1651What had he done with it?
1651What had he to fear when Sauvresy''s manuscript was once destroyed?"
1651What happened?
1651What has become of you, so young and happy?"
1651What have you?"
1651What if a passer- by on the road should notice a light flying from room to room?
1651What if some friend should suddenly arrive, expecting his hospitality, as had occurred twenty times?
1651What is a doctor?
1651What is a friend, after all?
1651What is it to you, that the countess has been killed?
1651What is the most serious evidence against Guespin?
1651What is this card of a hardware establishment that has been found in your pocket?"
1651What is, or was, the amount of your fortune?"
1651What languor had been in her voice when she used to say:"Say, dear Clement, you will, will you not?"
1651What misfortune had befallen M. Courtois, this worthy, and despite his faults, excellent person?
1651What mysterious power did this man possess, to so violently affect her life?
1651What reason have you for judging me so mean as to sell my favors?
1651What should she do to save both of them?
1651What should we do with such a fool as you?"
1651What subterfuge shall we invent?
1651What then?
1651What was M. Plantat after?
1651What was he going to do?
1651What was he going to write?
1651What was his purpose?
1651What was it?
1651What was it?"
1651What was the manuscript which Plantat had read?
1651What was the object of this autobiography?
1651What was the use?"
1651What was this man who lived at Valfeuillu to me?
1651What will happen when Sauvresy''s narrative is found?
1651What would be its result?
1651What would she have to say?
1651What''s the- matter?''
1651What, are you fools?
1651When he had done, she said:"It''s really so, then; you only care for the million of dowry?"
1651When he had retired, Bertha said:"Did you notice, Hector?"
1651When they had reached the boat, he said to Jean,"Is this the boat with which you went to take up your nets this morning?"
1651When?
1651Where are these wretches?
1651Where can this paper be, for which he has risked his life?
1651Where could he be?
1651Where could it have come from?
1651Where did he go?
1651Where did she meet Guespin and whither did she lead him?
1651Where did you get this money?"
1651Where have you passed the night?"
1651Where should he take refuge?
1651Where was he going?
1651Where was he going?
1651Where will he stop?"
1651Where?
1651Who could she be?
1651Who furnished the information?
1651Who had awakened Hector''s hopes, and encouraged them?
1651Who had written Tremorel''s terrible biography?
1651Who knows that they are not acting in concert?
1651Who knows what they are about?
1651Who thought of this crime?
1651Who was executing it?
1651Who would believe her?
1651Who would mistrust it?
1651Who would think of him, eight days hence?
1651Whose idea was this marriage?
1651Why did I say nothing of my discoveries?
1651Why did he ask for this copy?
1651Why did he choose Etampes?
1651Why did he not kill himself at once?
1651Why do n''t he prove an alibi?
1651Why do n''t you do as they did?"
1651Why do you think I held my tongue, when I discovered your infamy, and let myself be poisoned, and threw the doctors off the scent?
1651Why had he come here at all?
1651Why had he not a gentler death?
1651Why impose on himself this hour of waiting, of anguish and torture?
1651Why offer me money?
1651Why should you wish the judge of instruction to see these notes, which are purely personal, and have no legal or authentic character?"
1651Why so?
1651Why these rumors and noises?
1651Why this unwonted gathering?
1651Why, my dear, did you dare to suspect my wife?"
1651Why?
1651Why?
1651Why?
1651Why?"
1651Will he have me put in St. Lazare prison?
1651Will you be lost because I am to be your wife, because we shall be free to love in the face of all the world?
1651Would it be in the provinces?
1651Would it not be wise to take something, he suggested, if the investigations were to be pursued till night?
1651Would not that be to offer his name, honor, and life to public ridicule?
1651Would she divulge the crime, and try to hold him as her accomplice?
1651Would she provoke the law to exhume her husband?
1651Would they keep the oath made at the death- bed of Sauvresy, of which everyone was apprised?
1651Would you say, now, that this poison which he found in Sauvresy''s body was stolen from his own laboratory?
1651Yesterday the rascal had n''t a sou--""How do you know that?"
1651You remember, Doctor, and you, Plantat, her beautiful curls about her pure forehead, her great, trembling eyes, her long curved lashes?
1651You understand, do n''t you?
1651You went then, according to my instructions, to the Vulcan''s Forges?"
1651You wish your hand forced, do you?
1651Your master sent you on an errand, did n''t he, on Wednesday night; what did he give you?
1651can you laugh at the witticisms of a comedian, whom you know to be the struggling father of a family?
1651cried M. Lecoq,"was I right?"
1651cried he, as if amazed;"is it really Miss Jenny whom I have the honor of seeing?"
1651cried he,"how do you want me to answer?
1651cried he,"what shall I do?"
1651cried he,"what would you do?"
1651de Tremorel''s body?"
1651do you know that man?''
1651exclaimed the former,"have, you discovered any new indications?"
1651how?"
1651interrupted M. Courtois,"then the count and countess remained alone last night?"
1651nobody?"
1651replied the doctor,"what matters it?
1651said Dr. Gendron,"do you imagine that the count spared the time to shave?"
1651she asked, haughtily,"and who has admitted you here?
1651she insisted,"now, wo n''t you?"
1651that which monsieur the judge knows?"
1651then you did not see my motto--''always vigilant?''
1651what?"
1651what?"
1651when and why?
1651why?"
26193A fortune?
26193A steamer?
26193A swim would n''t go bad on such a hot day as this? 26193 Ai n''t they here?"
26193All of which does n''t answer the question, What are we going to do?
26193All ready?
26193Am I dreaming?
26193Am I right, and is that a snake ahead?
26193And Hans?
26193And hand me over, too?
26193And some day you''ll be Mrs. Dick Rover?
26193And that is why you warned us and gave us that good water?
26193And what do you think became of him?
26193And what of Baxter? 26193 And what of the rascals who ran, or rather swam, away?"
26193And you, Hans?
26193Any bad effects?
26193Any objections to my going to sleep?
26193Are any of them dead?
26193Are they really shooting at us?
26193Are we going home now?
26193Are we? 26193 Are you alive, or is it a-- a ghost?"
26193Are you alone here, may I ask?
26193Are you certain there is nothing of the kind on board?
26193Are you going to fight those others?
26193Are you going to give in or not?
26193Are you going to give it to them?
26193Are you hit, Hans?
26193Are you hurt?
26193Are you killed?
26193Are you stuck?
26193Are you sure of that, Dillard?
26193As there are seven of us, why not have everybody stand guard for just an hour?
26193Baxter, did you plan this?
26193Baxter, is it you?
26193But can it be done?
26193But do you think something will really happen?
26193But how are you going to begin about it?
26193But how did they go on, against the current from the lake?
26193But if you can mix-- What''s that?
26193But the danger?
26193But the question is, Are we going on board or not?
26193But what will you do with those Rover boys and the Dutch lad?
26193But you will be, wo n''t you?
26193By the way, Dick, do n''t you think the rascals on the_ Dogstar_ have had ample time in which to make their escape?
26193Ca n''t we back?
26193Ca n''t we send word to the other end of the canal?
26193Ca n''t we telegraph ahead to stop the launch and arrest those on board?
26193Ca n''t you back the boat?
26193Ca n''t you crawl out?
26193Can any of those men be in this vicinity?
26193Can the launch be in hiding in some cove?
26193Can the water be poisoned?
26193Can you see anything?
26193Can you take us on board?
26193Can you trust Jeffers? 26193 Chumps?"
26193Chust ven ve dink der sthars vos shinin''it begins to rain; eh, ai n''t dot so?
26193Come, do you submit?
26193Coming from the bayou?

26193Der vos no Dutchmans vot fly, vos dare?
26193Dick, how do you solve this mystery?
26193Dick, what can we do?
26193Did dot dog git dot lockjaw from dem keys?
26193Did n''t I tell you I am sick of the whole thing, Dutchy? 26193 Did n''t they mention any place?"
26193Did n''t you hear my signal?
26193Did that hit us?
26193Did they bring you here and leave you?
26193Did they steal anything?
26193Did those fellows steal the houseboat?
26193Did you charter her?
26193Did you come from the_ Dogstar_?
26193Did you get away with Sack Todd?
26193Did you hear that?
26193Did you see anybody on board?
26193Did you see the launch leave?
26193Dis muss is so bad like it vill pe Lund vill get no petter py looking at him, ai n''t dot so?
26193Disappeared?
26193Do n''t you deserve it?
26193Do n''t you fellows want to come up?
26193Do n''t you think somebody ought to remain on guard?
26193Do n''t you think we ought to make them serve us with better food?
26193Do n''t you want to send some word to the ladies and the girls first?
26193Do you do much shooting-- I mean with a gun?
26193Do you hear? 26193 Do you know anything about the others, Tom?"
26193Do you know the planter who had charge of the craft?
26193Do you mean my gasoline launch?
26193Do you mean that?
26193Do you mean to say there was n''t a soul on this boat when you found her?
26193Do you suppose they see us?
26193Do you think he has struck the trail?
26193Do you think that call came from Fred or Songbird?
26193Do you think we are going to train with such fellows as you? 26193 Do you think we ought to let you go for what you did for us?"
26193Do you want to?
26193Do you want us to go in partnership with you?
26193Does n''t look like the storm of last night, eh, Sam?
26193Does n''t the storm seem to be letting up?
26193Does you dink da vill shoot?
26193Dora, may I?
26193Even if we go back to Dick and the others and tell them, what good will it do?

26193Gracious, do you think all on board are dead?
26193Gracious, vill da do dot?
26193Had n''t we better build a little campfire?
26193Had n''t we better follow up that man first?
26193Had n''t we better signal her?
26193Hans, are you getting seasick?
26193Hans, are you really hit?
26193Hans, what do you think we ought to do?
26193Hans, will you open it, please?
26193Hans? 26193 Has he any regular shop?"
26193Has it got any cards in it?
26193Have you been following us in this steam yacht?
26193Have you got tired of waiting for us, Sam?
26193Have you seen anything of a gasoline launch around here?
26193Hello, what''s up there?
26193Helping that crowd?
26193Hit?
26193How about it?
26193How can he, when he knows the officers of the law are constantly after him?
26193How did he look?
26193How did they do it so quickly?
26193How is the dog?
26193How long do you calculate they''ll remain in this condition?
26193How many miles do you think we are from shore?
26193How many?
26193How much water does she draw?
26193How?
26193How?
26193Hullo, Dan Baxter, what do you want?
26193Hullo, Mr. Bird, that you?
26193Hullo, what''s up?

26193I say, Dick, what''s the mater with Dutchy?
26193I say, are you sure the launch went down the river?
26193I wonder if those other rascals are near?
26193If it is raw now what will it be by midnight?
26193If so, the question is, Where did he go after that?
26193If that''s the case, what''s to do?
26193If you capture those men, are you going to hand them over to the police?
26193Is he bad?
26193Is he dead-- Say, Hans, what do you mean?
26193Is he teat yet?

26193Is she coming this way?
26193Is the entrance to the bayou very narrow?
26193Is there a medicine cabinet on board? 26193 Is this Mr. Harold Bird?"
26193It makes a fellow sick, does n''t it?
26193Maybe the ship is a-- a-- phantom?
26193Mine cracious, vos der a lion aroundt here?
26193No, but it was pretty close,answered Dick,"Where is Sam now?"
26193Nobody else on board, eh?

26193That you--"That he had drank the poisoned water, eh?
26193The launch?
26193The question is, What are we to do next?
26193The question is, Where will they go with the houseboat?
26193The young rascal you told me about?
26193Then will you keep quiet?
26193Then you are in possession once more?
26193Then you do n''t think Dan will reform?

26193We understand each other, do n''t we, Dora?
26193Well, I do n''t think the launch would tie up at the levee, do you?
26193Well, if you''ll do-- What''s that?
26193Well, is n''t that right?
26193Well, why not take it easy if it does n''t cost any more?
26193Wha-- what does this mean?
26193What I want to know is,came from Fred,"if we strike a sunken snag is this launch safe?"

26193Which way did she head?

26193Who fired that shot?
26193Who is that calling?
26193Who made you prisoners?

26193Who was on board?
26193Who was on board?
26193Who''s the captain here?
26193Whose fault is it, the cook''s or the captain''s?
26193Why do n''t you come in, Hans?
26193Why do n''t you put out more lights-- want to be run down?
26193Why do n''t you show yourselves and say something? 26193 Why not follow them until they do land somewhere and go to sleep?
26193Why should I be afraid if you are not? 26193 Why should we give in?"
26193Why, Sam?
26193Why, is n''t that the carpenter who was going to repair the_ Dora_?
26193Why, what do you mean?
26193Why?
26193Why?
26193Why?
26193Will you do that, Dick?
26193Will you give us a bucket of fresh water or not?'' 26193 Will you let Sack Todd have some water?"
26193Wonder if the bob cat is dead?
26193Wonder if we ca n''t find out from some of the rivermen?
26193Would it not be as well to arm yourself?
26193Would n''t it be fine?
26193Yes, and who do you think his tools are?
26193You did n''t know the young man who went along?
26193You did n''t want to see us doped, as they call it?
26193You do n''t think we''ll be wrecked, do you?
26193You found this on the yacht?
26193You say he has been your enemy for years?
26193You will shoot me, eh?
26193_ Flying Dutchmans_?
26193And did Pold admit his guilt?"
26193And where is Hans Mueller?"
26193And why should you?
26193And you?"
26193Are you all deaf?"
26193Bird?"
26193But how did she disappear?"
26193But it looks pretty shaky, does n''t it?"
26193But the question still is, Dan, What are we to do with you?"
26193But who is going to be the engineer?
26193But, Dick--""Well?"

26193CHAPTER XX A NIGHT OF ANXIETY Had the lightning struck Dick and knocked him overboard?
26193CHAPTER XXI THE PICTURE IN THE CARDCASE"Who is it?"
26193Could the former bully be playing a part?
26193Den ve peen all drowned, ai n''t it?
26193Did n''t the mate speak of it?
26193Did n''t you know Pold was an old lottery sharp?"
26193Did you find anything else?"
26193Do you mean to say the houseboat is n''t where we left it?"
26193Do you want to kill somebody?"
26193Hans, will you help Sam?"
26193Have much on board the craft?"
26193Have you any idea who is guilty, sah?"
26193Have you your pistol?"
26193Is he alive?"
26193It looks exactly like Harold Bird, does n''t it?"
26193May I ask what she is worth?"
26193Now what of the two sailors?"
26193Now, ca n''t you see the joke, as the blind astronomer said to the deaf musician?"
26193Say, Sam, how kvick you dink dem earthkvakes come, hey?"
26193The question is, Are we machinists enough to repair the break?
26193The whole question just now is this, Are you going to fight or keep quiet?"

26193Vot vill der folks say ven da hear dot?"
26193Was he mistaken, or had he caught the glare of a pair of shining eyes fastened upon him?
26193Was she your boat?"
26193Well, Guirk can cook pretty good and he can do the trick for us, eh, Guirk?"
26193Were you going to sleep?"
26193What do you say if we lie down and pretend to be asleep when they open the hatch?"
26193What does he know about it?
26193What''s to be done?"
26193Where are the others?"
26193Where is my father?"
26193Where were you with them last?"
26193Who are you?"
26193You did n''t have very much pressure; did you, Tom?"
26193You say you can run the launch?"
26193and who the pilot?"
26193cried Dick.--"Is that you, Sam?"
26193do you threaten me on my own ship?"
2358A man?
2358A white head?
2358About this key: was it ever found? 2358 After the crimes, what did you do?"
2358Always?
2358Am I to open it?
2358And Williams? 2358 And no one came from the after house?"
2358And the food is all right?
2358And what are you going to do now?
2358And what did the captain reply?
2358And why are we even?
2358And yet, this curious- shaped object threw the axe at you, did n''t it?
2358Are you a football player, Doctor?
2358Are you a sailor by occupation?
2358Are you going to put us all in prison?
2358Are you married?
2358Are you quite strong again?
2358Are you saying that you went to the forward house to throw the axe overboard?
2358Are you sure?
2358As tall as the girl?
2358At this time, had you called the owner of the ship?
2358At what time?
2358Back to-- what? 2358 Before that?"
2358Before the murders?
2358Between the hours of 1 a.m. and 3 a.m., did any one leave or enter the after house by the after companion?
2358But Singleton?
2358But-- the other key?
2358Butler''s work? 2358 Can you be more specific?"
2358Can you describe what he wore?
2358Can you not describe it?
2358Could Mr. Singleton have been on deck without you seeing him?
2358Could you polish brass, and things like that?
2358Could you see what he was doing?
2358Delirium?
2358Did it ever leave you?
2358Did it occur to you at the time that the key had any significance?
2358Did it occur to you that you were interfering with justice in disposing of the axe?
2358Did she ask you to do something for her?
2358Did the members of the crew know?
2358Did the officer on watch remain on the forecastle- head?
2358Did they go?
2358Did you allow any one down?
2358Did you ever give the key to any one?
2358Did you ever see the white object that has been spoken of by the crew?
2358Did you ever see the white object that terrified the crew?
2358Did you ever tell the prisoner where the axe was kept?
2358Did you hear any sound in Mr. Vail''s cabin that night?
2358Did you hear any sound outside, before you opened the door?
2358Did you hear the crash when Leslie broke down the door of the storeroom?
2358Did you hear the mate threaten the captain?
2358Did you hear the mate threaten to''get''the captain, then or later?
2358Did you know the arrangement of rooms in the after house? 2358 Did you know the first mate, Singleton, before you met on the Ella?"
2358Did you know the prisoner before you employed him on the Ella?
2358Did you know the woman Karen Hansen before your wife employed her?
2358Did you know the woman Karen Hansen?
2358Did you know where the maids slept?
2358Did you know why the axe was being kept?
2358Did you leave your cabin that night of August 11 or early morning of the 12th?
2358Did you ring any bell during the night?
2358Did you see Mr. Singleton on deck between two and three o''clock?
2358Did you see his pipe that night?
2358Did you see the axe at that time?
2358Did you see the body of Burns, the sailor, lying on the deck at that time?
2358Did you touch it?
2358Did you, between midnight and 3 A.M., see any one in the chart- room besides the mate?
2358Do Mrs. Turner and Miss Lee think that?
2358Do you call this happiness?
2358Do you intend to remain a-- a sailor?
2358Do you know what I think?
2358Do you mean justice or law? 2358 Do you own the yacht Ella?"
2358Do you recall going on deck the morning after the murders were discovered?
2358Do you recall the night of the 31st of July?
2358Do you recall what you said?
2358Do you recognize this chart?
2358Do you understand? 2358 During your delirium, did you ever see such a figure?"
2358Every one on it?
2358Fear is difficult to explain, is n''t it? 2358 Fever, eh?
2358For-- us?
2358From the crow''s- nest could the lookout have seen Burns and Mrs. Johns going forward?
2358Gleaming?
2358Had you a revolver on board?''
2358Had you ever heard talk among the men of the Ella being a haunted ship?
2358Had you heard of any finger- prints on the handle?
2358Had you washed them?
2358Has Mrs. Johns been told?
2358Have you any idea, Leslie, how much whiskey there is on board?
2358Have you any recollection of what you said to the men at that time?
2358Have you been ill again?
2358Have you the key with you?
2358How are you liking the sea, Leslie?
2358How can we know? 2358 How could it grin-- at you if it has n''t any face?"
2358How did you know that?
2358How do we know what you are giving him? 2358 How do you know that?"
2358How do you know that?
2358How does he know? 2358 How does it happen to be in your possession?"
2358How ill?
2358How long after you felt the board rise?
2358How long have you lived in the United States?
2358How long was Mrs. Johns on deck?
2358How many men in the crew?
2358How tall was it?
2358How will you manage alone?
2358How?
2358How?
2358If the room was dark, how could you tell it was white?
2358If you are going to be arbitrary just because you can--"Yes?
2358If you were sick, would you be likely to smoke?
2358In case the wheel of the vessel were lashed for a short time, what would happen?
2358Is a helmsman permitted to leave his post?
2358Is it a pose? 2358 Is it in your writing?"
2358Is it still raining?
2358Is n''t it there?
2358Is that you, Leslie?
2358Is there a bell in your cabin connecting with the maids''cabin off the chart- room?
2358Is there anything I can do for you?
2358Is there anything you care for?
2358Is this letter in your writing?
2358It could not have fallen over the side and hung there?
2358Karen exclaimed,Miss Lee said slowly,"that some one was sitting on the companion steps?"
2358Know what?
2358Knowing the relation of the bell above Mr. Vail''s berth to the bed itself, do you think he could have reached it after his injury?
2358Mrs. Johns, on the night you visited the forward house and viewed the axe, did you visit it again?
2358Mrs. Sloane, do you recognize these two garments?
2358Must not?
2358My dear woman,she said,"are you trying to tell us that we slept through all that?"
2358My-- what?
2358No one else?
2358Now? 2358 Offer me something?"
2358Or is it you behind that beard?
2358Over the rail?
2358Singleton, you''re the captain, d''ye hear? 2358 Singleton,"I said,"if you did n''t do it, and I want to think you did not,--who did?"
2358That is--?
2358That''s childish, is n''t it? 2358 The axe, or the forward house?"
2358The bromides had no effect?
2358The-- what?
2358Then sit down-- and, before you do, tuck that rug under my feet, will you?
2358Then this other one-- forward, you call it, do n''t you? 2358 Then, having seen the axe, where did you go?"
2358Then,I said,"when the lookout saw you with the axe, you were replacing it?"
2358Then-- have you one with you now?
2358Then-- where is the key?
2358There had been nothing suspicious earlier in the night?
2358There isn''t-- I suppose there''s no chance of your needing another hand?
2358They were drinking?
2358They''re not going to hold you, are they?
2358This Leslie-- why had you asked him to sleep in the storeroom?
2358This cross by the mainmast,he said"that would be where?"
2358This white thing-- what did it look like?
2358To the Ella?
2358To who''s running the boat, anyhow? 2358 Turner?"
2358Us? 2358 Was he dressed?"
2358Was he pale?
2358Was the axe gone then?
2358Was the fact that Burns carried the key to the captain''s cabin a matter of general knowledge?
2358Was the key left in the lock when you were fastened in?
2358Was there a guard at the top of the companion?
2358Was there some talk of this''white thing''?
2358Was what you saw a figure?
2358Well?
2358Were the connecting doors between your room and Mr. Vail''s generally locked at night?
2358Were the shirt and vest similar to these I show you?
2358Were they friendly?
2358Were they locked on this particular night?
2358Were they washed on shipboard?
2358Were you engaged to marry him at one time?
2358Were you ever below in the after house?
2358Were you friends?
2358Were you in favor of bringing the bodies back to port?
2358Wh- why was I not-- called at once?
2358What are they?
2358What are we going to do with them?
2358What are you going to do when you get to land, Mr. Captain Leslie?
2358What are you going to do with them knives?
2358What are you going to do? 2358 What comment did Mr. Singleton make?"
2358What could the helmsman see?
2358What could you see through the window beside the wheel?
2358What did Williams, the butler, give you to hide, that night?
2358What did he say when he gave it to you?
2358What did she ask you to do?
2358What did the men say about it?
2358What did you do next?
2358What did you do then?
2358What did you do with the wheel when you left it?
2358What did you do with the-- the weapon?
2358What did you do with them on reaching New York?
2358What did you do?
2358What do you mean by a thing like that?
2358What do you mean by a white figure?
2358What do you mean by that?
2358What does it mean to you, Leslie? 2358 What happened after that?"
2358What happened when you went in?
2358What have you to do about it?
2358What is it?
2358What is that over there?
2358What is the matter?
2358What is wrong?
2358What reason did she give?
2358What sort of a thing?
2358What sort of broth did you spill?
2358What then?
2358What was his mental condition?
2358What was his reputation-- I mean, as a ship''s officer?
2358What was its nature?
2358What was the mate''s condition?
2358What was the state of his bunk?
2358What were the men doing at that time?
2358What were the relations between Mr. Turner and the captain?
2358What were your duties on the ship?
2358What were your relations after that?
2358What''s the matter?
2358What''s this about Williams?
2358What''s wrong?
2358When and where were you born?
2358When and where were you born?
2358When did she sail?
2358When did you hear a woman scream?
2358When did you see Mr. Vail last?
2358When did you see them last?
2358When did you ship on the yacht Ella?
2358When do we get in?
2358When the girl fell back into the room, did you see any one beyond her?
2358When was that?
2358When was that?
2358When we found the body?
2358When you asked the sailor Burns to let you see the axe, what did you give as a reason?
2358When you went back after the alarm, did you count the men?
2358When?
2358When?
2358When?
2358Where are-- they?
2358Where did he go after that?
2358Where did the bell from Mr. Vail''s room ring?
2358Where did you get it?
2358Where have you put them?
2358Where is it?
2358Where is the light switch?
2358Where is this axe now?
2358Where was Mr. Vail''s bed on the chart?
2358Where was that?
2358Where was your room on the yacht Ella?
2358Where were you between midnight and 4 A.M. on the morning of August 12?
2358Where were you during the quarrel?
2358Where were you quartered?
2358Where''s Helen?
2358Where''s Williams?
2358Where''s the captain?
2358Where? 2358 Where?"
2358Where?
2358Who are you, anyhow? 2358 Who did it?"
2358Who gave them to you to pack in your trunk?
2358Who had the key?
2358Who is it?
2358Who is it?
2358Who saw the prisoner during the days he was locked in his cabin?
2358Who slept in the after house?
2358Who struck the bell at three o''clock?
2358Who suggested that the axe be kept in the captain''s cabin?
2358Who told you that?
2358Who went with you?
2358Who were on deck at that time?
2358Whose arrangement was that?
2358Whose revolver was kept on the cabin table?
2358Why did they take him? 2358 Why did you break it off?"
2358Why did you go beyond the line that was railed off for your safety?
2358Why did you make the change?
2358Why did you move to the after house?
2358Why did you visit the forward house?
2358Why do n''t you say you did n''t give the bromides?
2358Why do n''t you tell him?
2358Why do they-- how do they know it was he?
2358Why do you ask that?
2358Why do you make such a secret of your identity?
2358Why do you say you''may have been-- I think not''?
2358Why do you want me?
2358Why not? 2358 Why not?"
2358Why not?
2358Why should we?
2358Why should you trust me?
2358Why?
2358Why?
2358Will you allow me to leave this room for five minutes?
2358Will you eat some soup, if I send it?
2358Will you explain why you were afraid?
2358Will you get a wrap from Karen and bring it to me on deck? 2358 Will you indicate it on this diagram?"
2358Will you let me see it?
2358Will you show where your room is on the drawing?
2358Will you take me to Karen''s room?
2358Will you tell how it came into your possession?
2358Would the first mate, as officer on watch, be supposed to see that the emergency case you speak of was in order?
2358Would the lookout know it?
2358Would whoever locked you in have had only to move the key from one side of the door to the other?
2358Wrong? 2358 You are human, are n''t you?"
2358You are not a sailor?
2358You are quite determined we shall not know anything about you?
2358You are rather theatrical, are n''t you?
2358You are sure it was locked?
2358You are sure that he mentioned Mr. Turner in that?
2358You are the man Mr. McWhirter has been looking after, are n''t you?
2358You broke it open?
2358You could not see him?
2358You did n''t notice it yesterday, did you?
2358You did not leave the wheel during that time?
2358You have been ill, have n''t you?
2358You have never done this sort of thing before, have you?
2358You heard-- Karen, when she screamed?
2358You intend to turn the yacht over to the police?
2358You know the''Rubaiyat''?
2358You mean-- with the captain?
2358You read it to the men, and they signed it?
2358You saw no one?
2358You slept with this door open, did n''t you?
2358You will work with the crew, but it is possible that we will need you-- do you know anything about butler''s work?
2358You yelled, and then what happened?
2358Your age?
2358Your name?
2358Your name?
2358Your occupation?
2358Your position on the yacht Ella?
2358Your residence?
2358''What do you think of that?''
2358Ai n''t that it, boys?"
2358And McWhirter, in a deep bass, sang lustily:"Watchman, what of the night?"
2358And as for the girl--""What girl?"
2358And by whom?"
2358Are those his exact words?"
2358Are you comfortable in the forecastle?"
2358Are you trying to discipline me?"
2358Attorney for the defense:"Did you ever write a letter to the defendant, Mrs. Sloane, threatening him if he did not marry you?"
2358But I had angered her, and she went on cruelly:--"Who are you, anyhow?
2358But we were only a few days out by that time, and, after all, what could they do?
2358But what other?"
2358But which one?
2358CHAPTER XXII TURNER''S STORY"Your name?"
2358Can you come out?"
2358Could n''t a captain wear a dress suit on special occasions?"
2358Did you see Miss Lee pick up the key to the storeroom in Mr. Turner''s room?"
2358Did you see the mate, Mr. Singleton, during your watch?"
2358Do any of these keys fit the captain''s cabin?"
2358Do you carry a key to the emergency case in the forward house, the case that contained the axe?"
2358Do you know what we called you, the first two days out?
2358Do you know what we have been doing, locked in down here?
2358Does n''t go far, does it?
2358Going back to the 30th of July, when you were not ill, did you have any words with the captain?"
2358Have you sat through seven days of horrors without realizing that?"
2358Here is a note to him from Marshall, and-- will you do us one more kindness?"
2358How are you going to sea?"
2358How could you see?"
2358How did it resemble a fountain?"
2358How did you see him?"
2358How do we know that you came from a hospital?
2358How the people slept?"
2358How-- how d''ye like it?"
2358Humorous duck, is n''t he?
2358I am to submit to his insolence?"
2358I have wondered since-- was she in love with Turner, or was she only a fiery partisan?
2358I mean, was he not able, apparently, to walk alone?"
2358Is he?"
2358Is n''t there a storeroom where you could put a cot?"
2358Is this correct?"
2358It was locked, but almost instantly she spoke from inside:"What is it?"
2358Let a drunken sot like that give us orders, and bang us with a belaying pin when we do n''t please him?"
2358Not one of our men?"
2358Now-- won''t you try to remember that I am responsible for your being here, and be careful?"
2358Oleson, the Swede, was called next, and after the usual formalities:--"Where were you between midnight and 4 A.M. on the morning of August 12?"
2358One of the barecas--""What''s that?"
2358One- thirty-- it will soon be the proper hour for something to happen on the Ella, wo n''t it?
2358Or-- have you a reason for concealing it?"
2358Shall I give it to you?"
2358Singleton was the first to speak:--"How are you going to get back?
2358Singleton?"
2358Singleton?"
2358That''s agreeable to you, is it, Burns?"
2358That''s the usual thing among pirates, is n''t it?"
2358The attorney for the defense cross- examined her:"What color were the stains you speak of?"
2358The bottle set me to thinking: had we a"coke"fiend on board, and, if we had, who was it?
2358The cross- examination was brief but to the point:"What do you mean by''ill''?"
2358The cross- examination was very short:--"What sort of night was it?"
2358The hospital?
2358The key to the storeroom?"
2358The men can sail a course, but who is to lay it out?
2358The whole-- the whole document is a taunt, is n''t it?
2358Then:"Did the prisoner know you had moved to the after house?"
2358Then:"Do you recall the night of the 31st of July?"
2358They did n''t have jugs, did they?"
2358Turner on the rampage?"
2358Turner?
2358Turner?"
2358Turner?"
2358Turner?"
2358Turner?"
2358Turner?"
2358Turner?"
2358Turner?"
2358Vail''s?"
2358Vail?"
2358Vail?"
2358Vail?"
2358Was the key kept in the lock?"
2358We were kind to you, were n''t we?
2358Were you outside the door at any time during that night?"
2358Were you there?"
2358What are those fish out there flying for, but to get out of the way of bigger fish?"
2358What bell is registered?"
2358What do the crosses mark?"
2358What do you mean by poverty?"
2358What is this book?"
2358What was Mr. Singleton''s manner at the time you mention?"
2358What''s the land, anyhow?
2358When these decanters go back, Williams takes charge of them?"
2358Where are your things?"
2358Where is the axe?"
2358Where''s the captain?"
2358Which is correct?"
2358Which was yours?"
2358Who is with you?"
2358Why do n''t you lock up Jones?"
2358Why in thunder did n''t you take those clothes on board?
2358Why should I not call the men here and remind them of all that?"
2358Will the watchman let us on board?"
2358Will you come to the door?"
2358Will you look at the bell register for me?
2358Will you wait outside?
2358Wine is wine, is n''t it?
2358Would n''t you be willing to lay a course, if you were taken out once a day?
2358Would n''t you think one of these overworked- for- the- good- of- humanity dubs would take a vacation and give me a chance to hold down his practice?"
2358Would you have the innocent suffer with the guilty?"
2358You are certain you are comfortable there?"
2358You are taking us back?"
2358You do not know law as well as medicine?"
2358You fellows have been mighty careful to destroy the evidence, have n''t you?"
2358You were afraid, then, without knowing why?"
2358You''re-- lying, are n''t you?"
28164After making these discoveries what did you do?
28164Ah, good afternoon, Mr. Cantercot,he said, rubbing his hands, half from cold, half from usage;"what have you brought me?"
28164Always one shadow?
28164And if he did, why did n''t they prove it the first time?
28164And if they want to arrest him, why could n''t they leave it till the ceremony was over? 28164 And if you have n''t been murdered what have you been doing?"
28164And what''s the name of the paper?
28164And when the Beautiful was not gossiping with her landlady, did she gossip with you as you passed the door?
28164And you could n''t write with your left?
28164And you still call Nature beautiful?
28164And, while occupying this front bedroom, did not the prisoner once lose his key and have another made?
28164Another lady of your acquaintance?
28164Are n''t you going to earn it, you beggar? 28164 As yours, for instance?"
28164But suppose she had n''t?
28164But what are you doing in this miserable spot, so far from home?
28164But what is Ugliness but a higher form of Beauty? 28164 But what was the use of breaking your head to save him?"
28164But why do n''t you give him up to justice?
28164But why should you arrest me?
28164By whom?
28164Ca n''t remember any more? 28164 Can you ask?
28164Dead? 28164 Dead?"
28164Did Mortlake tell you he was jealous?
28164Did n''t I tell you so?
28164Did she live alone?
28164Did you know a Miss Dymond?
28164Do you really think he was murdered, Tom?
28164Do you recognize it?
28164Do you still hope to discover the Bow murderer?
28164Does he care if my children are hungry?
28164Eh?
28164Fifty?
28164Good- looking, I suppose?
28164Have you any fresh concrete evidence?
28164He always struck you as a thorough gentleman?
28164He might have done it without your noticing it, I suppose?
28164How can I help Tom hanging?
28164How did he behave when he read it?
28164How did she appear?
28164How did we get on to it? 28164 How do you account for the extra sleepiness?"
28164How do you know?
28164How do you mean?
28164How has the prisoner behaved since the murder?
28164How much money do you want?
28164How should I know what became of you? 28164 How-- how do you know that?"
28164How? 28164 Indeed?"
28164Is Mr. Grodman in?
28164Is that what the paper will be devoted to?
28164It was n''t the dull, foggy weather?
28164Mortlake knew nothing of their meetings?
28164Mortlake of course knows where she is?
28164Murder? 28164 My dear Denzil, how often am I to point out that I went through the experiences that make the backbone of my book, not you?
28164No; how could that be? 28164 Of course it is about Mortlake?"
28164Oh, ai n''t I?
28164Oh, yes; how do you do, Tom? 28164 On the night of December 3d, you gave the prisoner a letter?"
28164Only once or twice, you say?
28164Par,said Wilfred Wimp,"what''s a alleybi?
28164Peter, do you want to drive me from the house? 28164 Portraits?
28164Pray do not consider me impertinent, but have you ever given any attention to the science of evidence?
28164Ready, Mr. Templeton? 28164 Really?"
28164She might have been out with Tom?
28164So that is the reason?
28164Templeton,said the Minister,"have you got down every word of Mr. Grodman''s confession?"
28164That is not your usual time?
28164That was Cantercot just went in, was n''t it, Grodman?
28164The others carried the cups on their feet, I suppose?
28164Then how did you know they were quarreling?
28164Then, when was he murdered?
28164Those were his very words?
28164Was the prisoner the sort of man who, in your opinion, would commit a murder?
28164We now come to the second alternative-- was the deceased the victim of homicide? 28164 Well, shall I say unpleasant, then?"
28164Well, what have you been doin''all this time?
28164Well, where was the justice for Arthur Constant if he, too, was innocent?
28164What about Jessie-- I mean Miss Dymond? 28164 What did he go there for?"
28164What do I mean?
28164What do you mean?
28164What do you mean?
28164What do you think,said Crowl,"of Republics?"
28164What do you want me to write?
28164What happened then?
28164What in the devil''s the matter?
28164What paper, sir?
28164What should you say if prisoner dropped something in it to make you sleep late?
28164What sort of a paper?
28164What time did you get up the next morning?
28164What was she?
28164What''s the Good of Society? 28164 What?"
28164What?
28164When am I to have that new dress, dear?
28164Where did she meet him?
28164Where is that sweetheart now?
28164Where, indeed?
28164Who else keeps him I should like to know?
28164Who then should I be alludin''to, Mr. Cantercot? 28164 Who wants to hear Gladstone?
28164Who''s fribbling now, you or me, Cantercot? 28164 Whose book?"
28164Why have you come to give fresh evidence?
28164Why not?
28164Why, was he not dead?
28164Why, what should I be doing?
28164Why, where have you been all these days?
28164Will you come up and see him?
28164Will you have the goodness to explain how the trick was done?
28164Will you tell the jury what followed?
28164Wo n''t you come under my umbrella? 28164 Wrong you?
28164Yes; how did you get it? 28164 You did n''t go in?"
28164You did n''t hear what they said?
28164You do n''t mean anything more than that?
28164You drink something before going to bed?
28164You found out whose? 28164 You knew her then?"
28164You know Mr. Cantercot, I suppose? 28164 You know about her disappearance?"
28164You mean to say you found Arthur Constant alive?
28164You really believe him innocent?
28164You were the last person to see him, Tom, were n''t you?
28164A Juryman: How do you know it was not somebody else?
28164A Juryman: Is n''t Shoppinhour one of the infidel writers, published by the Freethought Publication Society?
28164A little?
28164A marble?"
28164Am I not the most copious correspondent of the Press?"
28164And can you also explain how the prisoner could have bolted the door within from the outside?"
28164And this Madame Blavatsky''s book-- what is that?
28164And what should you think was the condition of Arthur Constant when the door yielded to my violent exertions and flew open?"
28164And when did she leave?"
28164And yet, had not Mrs. Wimp let out as much at the Christmas dinner?
28164And, after all, is it not enough to have been an influence for good over one or two human souls?
28164Brown- Harland, Q. C.( sarcastically):"And locked the door from within with it on leaving?"
28164By a Juryman: Did the news concern him?
28164CHAPTER V."Yes, but what will become of the Beautiful?"
28164Can a mother see her babe''s ugliness, or a lover his mistress''shortcomings, though they stare everybody else in the face?
28164Can we see ourselves as others see us?
28164Constant and the prisoner''s sweetheart?"
28164Constant might have the two rooms on the same floor?"
28164Constant spoke about on the night of December 3d?"
28164Constant took her off his hands?"
28164Constant''s bedroom with the key you found?"
28164Constant''s rooms?"
28164Constant?"
28164Constant?"
28164Coroner: And did you wake him?
28164Coroner: And that was the last you saw of the deceased?
28164Coroner: And what did you do then?
28164Coroner: Are you sure that you shut the street door?
28164Coroner: Could you show the jury the letter you received?
28164Coroner: How was he when you left him?
28164Coroner: I mean did he seem afraid of being robbed?
28164Coroner: Otherwise you saw nothing unusual about him?
28164Coroner: There had been no quarrel with Miss Brent?
28164Coroner: Was the deceased left- handed?
28164Coroner: Was the toothache very violent?
28164Coroner: Was there any private trouble in his own life to account for the temporary despondency?
28164Coroner: What time did you leave him?
28164Coroner: What time did you leave the house on Tuesday morning?
28164Crowl?"
28164Crowl?"
28164Denzil gasped,"What for?"
28164Did she not always remind the poet of Joan of Arc?
28164Did you do that?"
28164Do our friends appear to us as they appear to strangers?
28164Do our rooms, our furniture, our pipes strike our eye as they would strike the eye of an outsider, looking on them for the first time?
28164Do you think Kitty has any secrets from me?
28164Drinking again?"
28164Evidently the sole performer of my experiment must be myself; the subject-- whom or what?
28164First, did the deceased commit suicide?
28164Grodman?"
28164Grodman?"
28164Had the prisoner ceased to care for Miss Dymond?"
28164Has it ever struck you, sir, that we never see anyone more than once, if that?
28164Have n''t I taken the chair at all the meetings?
28164Have n''t touched a drop since----""The murder?"
28164He entered one way or another into the lives of a good many people; is it true that he nowhere made enemies?
28164How do you expect me to think of these details?"
28164How do you know it was a murder?"
28164How is he then to get out without attracting the attention of the now roused landlady?
28164How is he to go away and yet leave the doors and windows locked and bolted from within?
28164How is she, Tom?"
28164How much have you let him in for?"
28164How''s that for alliteration?
28164I could invent hundreds of such crimes, and please myself by imagining them done; but would they really work out in practice?
28164I mean anything beyond the current misconceptions?
28164I mean did you try to wake him?
28164I was very sorry to do this, as I rather liked that particular person, but when one has such ingenious readers, what can one do?
28164I''m only a plain man, and I want to know where the fun of anonymity comes in?
28164I''m only a plain man, and I want to know where''s the sense of givin''any one person authority over everybody else?"
28164If England dropped its fad of Monarchy and became a Republic to- morrow, do you mean to say that----?"
28164If Jessie had wrongs why should she not have avenged them herself?
28164In short, sir, what guarantee have we that the whole tale is not a cock- and- bull story, invented by the two persons who first found the body?
28164In view of this letter, are the relatives of the deceased justified in entrusting him with any private documents?
28164In which hand did you have this cramp?"
28164Is he not a secularist, who has lectured at the Hall of Science?
28164Is it likely that if he had chosen it, he would not have left letters and a statement behind, or made a last will and testament?
28164Is it likely that this was the night he would choose for quitting the scene of his usefulness?
28164Is n''t that rather a proof that it was suicide?
28164Is that all?
28164Is that also pheelosophy?
28164Is that too fast for you, Mr. Templeton?
28164Might not that have been due to the disappearance of his sweetheart?"
28164Mortlake''s, perhaps?"
28164Mr. Wimp was convinced by it, too, were n''t you, Edward?"
28164Mrs. Drabdump( breaking down): Oh, my lud, how can you ask?
28164Not bad, those old times, eh?"
28164Not bludgeoned by the police at the meeting this morning, I hope?"
28164Now, what are the facts?
28164Or is it likely he would have concealed the instrument?
28164Or was there no such place?
28164Perhaps you would like to inspect the book?
28164Seen the''New Pork Herald''lately?
28164Shall I send you on her book?
28164She sat in her room reading, and cast a shadow--""On your life?"
28164She was engaged to Mortlake?"
28164Should you say I was quarreling?"
28164The Coroner: Was deceased at all nervous?
28164The Juryman: Were you not shocked to find the friend of a meenister reading such impure leeterature?
28164The answer, then, to our first question, Did the deceased commit suicide?
28164The man had his moments of despondency-- as which of us has not?
28164The only uncertain link in the chain was: Would Mrs. Drabdump rush across to get me to break open the door?
28164To have learnt to know of such, to have been of service to one or two of such-- is not this ample return?
28164To what do you think I''ve been devoting my days and nights but to the cultivation of the Beautiful?"
28164Was I to be disappointed after all?
28164Was it a prophecy?
28164Was it the mention of Lucy Brent that had moved him to his depths?
28164Was not Grodman, too, on the track?
28164Was there any reason why the deceased should wish to take his own life?
28164Were n''t you on your oath?
28164What does he want with all that money and those houses-- a man with no sense of the Beautiful?
28164What had you been doing to bring it on?"
28164What shall one man''s life-- a million men''s lives-- avail against the corruption, the vulgarity and the squalor of civilization?
28164What the devil have you been doing with yourself since the inquest?
28164What was it to do with him that he could see no way by which the wound could have been inflicted by an outside agency?
28164What was the matter with the clock?
28164What wonder if the shrewder sort divined that the indomitable detective had fixed his last hope on the girl''s guilt?
28164What would the great labor leader have to say at this supreme moment?
28164What''s put salt on your wounds?"
28164What''s that ticket you''re looking so lovingly at, Peter?"
28164When was the last time you saw the two together?"
28164When''s your next show?"
28164When?
28164Where were you when the prisoner told you he was going to Devonport?"
28164Where''s the justice of it, where''s the justice of it?"
28164Where?
28164Which, then, got to heaven?
28164Who wants more polish and refinement than that showed?"
28164Who?"
28164Whose corns did he tread on?
28164Whose was the second shadow?"
28164Why does all the world watch over barbers and conspire to promote their interests?
28164Why have n''t you been to see me since the murder?
28164Will a sovereign get you out of it?"
28164Wimp said"Yes?"
28164Writing what?"
28164You did n''t leave it a shadow of doubt?"
28164You follow me, sir?"
28164You tried to rouse him?
28164did n''t I tell you so?"
28164do you call Queen Victoria visible?"
28164said Denzil,"and shall I write the story for you?"
30832A what?
30832And have''em coming after me again and again until they catch me? 30832 And you''ve been in operation for how long?"
30832And you?
30832Another one of your zanies, eh?
30832Anything extra you want, Roy?
30832Burke''s which, sir?
30832But it just does n''t sound right, does it? 30832 But why would he want to make it look like a kidnaping instead of... of what it was?
30832But, man, it is n''t magic we''re discussing, is it?
30832By the way, am I wrong in assuming that Nestor will not get your psychotherapy treatment?
30832Can I see ya, Inspector? 30832 Can you stand up?"
30832Cigarette?
30832Could I talk to you outside, Inspector Royall?
30832D''you mind if I ask some questions?
30832Did he talk much?
30832Did he tell you what happened?
30832Did the Commissioner give you a Special Badge?
30832Did you know that Brownlee was an anthropologist before he turned to psychology? 30832 Do you figure this as a sex- degenerate case, Inspector?"
30832Do you know something? 30832 Do you know the fat guy?"
30832Do you remember that, a couple of centuries ago, the laws of some countries provided the perfect punishment for pickpockets and purse- snatchers?
30832Hammerlock Smith? 30832 Has he ever been in here before?"
30832Have a good trip across?
30832He''s one of your zanies, too, is n''t he? 30832 Hurt?
30832Inspector, since when it is against the law to ask a couple of guys how come they''re following you? 30832 Is there anywhere we can talk?"
30832Manny the Moog?
30832Noise?
30832Notice anything about his voice?
30832Now what?
30832Now, a zany who was that badly crippled--?
30832Now, just to clear the air, what_ is_ it?
30832O.K., Sam?
30832Running short, eh? 30832 Sam, you can sit on this one for a while, huh?
30832Sam,I said wearily,"are you going to give me a lecture on police methods?"
30832Shirley''s father? 30832 Sidney Manewiscz?"
30832Sorry to bother you during office hours, but could I borrow fifty? 30832 The guy who fingered you for the boys?"
30832The next question is: Where?
30832Think he''ll testify?
30832Was he drunk?
30832What about Joey Partridge?
30832What about the time of death?
30832What about this kid he accosted in the bar? 30832 What are you doing here, Manny?"
30832What did you do to his hands?
30832What do you think?
30832What else we got, Inspector?
30832What is it, Lieutenant?
30832What was he drinking?
30832What will you do to this Hammerlock Smith, then?
30832What''ll it be?
30832What''s it all about, Joey?
30832What''s that?
30832What''s the trouble, Manny?
30832Where''s your husband?
30832Who else could it be? 30832 Why do you say that?"
30832Would you give me the key to your apartment, Mrs. Ebbermann? 30832 Yeah?"
30832Yes?
30832You Lee Darcey?
30832You hurt, Joey?
30832You mean he''s a real English Duke?
30832You still awake, Dad? 30832 You sure it''s the Donahue girl?"
30832*****"Do you remember Manny the Moog?
30832And have I told you that you''ll be invited to the wedding?"
30832And how long would it be before he obligingly hammered the life out of his young victim so that we could put him away permanently?
30832And that puts the police in a hell of a position, does n''t it?
30832And where does that put today''s psychotherapy?
30832And why did n''t she tell her mother where she was going?"
30832As Inspector Kleek had said, we get''em eventually......._ But at what cost?
30832As soon as the door closed behind Dr. Brownlee and Manewiscz I said:"You two brought the witness in, too, did n''t you?"
30832But if you clip the_ other_ wing, what happens?
30832Can I give the groom away?"
30832Can I ride with you?
30832Can you advance the fifty?"
30832Could he have lured her away, do you think?"
30832D''you agree?"
30832Did you ever see what happens when you lock a claustrophobe up in a dark closet-- the mad, unreasoning, uncontrollable panic of absolute terror?
30832Do you live on the seventh floor?__ Yes, I do.__ Then we''re neighbors.
30832Do you live with your mommie and daddy?__ Just my mommie.
30832Does Shirley have a key to your apartment?"
30832Duke, did you say?"
30832Ebbermann?"
30832Had he spoken to her in the elevator?
30832Have I got it straight so far?"
30832Have you been betting on the stickball teams again?"
30832He thought it over for a while, then said:"Just what is it you do to men like that?
30832He''s crippled, right?
30832How can you be so sure he''ll never hurt anyone again?"
30832How d''ya like that?"
30832How did he get her away?
30832How long ago was this?
30832How many teenage boys had been frightened or whipped into doing as he told them and then been too ashamed and sick with themselves to say anything?
30832How old?
30832How''s Mary Ellen?"
30832Hurt bad?"
30832I could see him, but he could n''t see me, so I said:"What''s the trouble, Joey?"
30832I said,"Darcey, if he comes back in here... let''s see-- Can you shut off that big sign out front from behind the bar?"
30832I turned and said:"Want some action, Your Grace?"
30832I turned to Brownlee and said:"Which reminds me-- what''s going to be the disposition on the Hammerlock Smith case?"
30832Inspector Acrington?
30832It''s a hell of a great system, is n''t it?
30832Let''s go check the files, huh?"
30832Loitering with intent to commit a nuisance?"
30832Look, Your Grace, you know what''s done to keep a captive wild duck from flying away?"
30832Now, you were saying?"
30832O.K., Inspector?"
30832O.K.?"
30832O.K.?"
30832O.K.?"
30832On the other hand--"Look, Lieutenant, you have n''t said anything to the newsmen yet, have you?"
30832Practically cut and dried, is n''t it?"
30832Remember me, Dad?"
30832Right?"
30832Shall we go on with our pub crawling?"
30832Sit down, wo n''t you?"
30832The basement?
30832The foyer itself?
30832The little fellow who was brought in yesterday?"
30832The roof?
30832Then what?
30832Understand?"
30832Want to come along?"
30832Want to come down here and pick it up?"
30832Was it magic this morning when both you and I had a hunch that little Shirley was_ not_ in the park, in spite of the way it looked?
30832Was it magic when we eliminated, without even searching, every spot but the place where she actually was?"
30832We know that ninety per cent of the men on that list right there are going to be convicted of a crime of violence inside the next five years, right?"
30832We know what they are, do n''t we?
30832We''ve got all these characters down on the books, do n''t we?
30832What is the technique used?"
30832What would you charge''em with?
30832What''s another victim more or less, as long as we get the killer?"
30832What''s he up for?"
30832What''s his record?"
30832Where are you?
30832Where is he?"
30832Where, then?
30832Where_ are_ you?"
30832Why do n''t we just go out and arrest them all right now?
30832Why fool around with assault and battery charges when we can wait for him to murder somebody and then lock him up for good, eh, Sam?
30832Why should she?
30832Will you teach me?"
30832Will your cure work?"
30832You want to come down here and look over the scene, or you want to go to the morgue?
30832You want to listen?"
30832You''ll have the Commissioner call me?"
30832You''ll prefer charges, Joey?"
30832[ Illustration]"All right if I let Manny the Moog go, Roy?"
12144''Are you a sleep- walker, Lucien?'' 12144 ''Did you ever thoroughly look at your ancestors?
12144''Why do you ask?'' 12144 A man trades here at this corner, with his wife, eh?"
12144After all you have said and declaimed, tell me-- are you going to kill the old woman_ yourself_, or not?
12144After all, what can be the harm of it? 12144 All must be discovered?"
12144Am I, my fine fellow-- am I strange? 12144 And afterwards?"
12144And are you not preparing for defense?
12144And dared you look through my window? 12144 And do you believe that this is the time?"
12144And does your thinking bring you any money?
12144And how about the gravedigger? 12144 And how did you fare, Souirin?"
12144And how did you know that?
12144And if they murder the innocent and unprotected, on whom will the ignominy of their blood fall?
12144And my relations?
12144And one and all of you can boast of having massacred, and plundered, and set on fire?
12144And so you are going? 12144 And the master cut you out with her?"
12144And then?
12144And there were no more telegrams?
12144And this means that I am in your power? 12144 And what do you want to know that for?
12144And what follows from all this?
12144And what is it you wish?
12144And where has he seen me?
12144And where is Marcus Ivanovitch?
12144And who are you?
12144And who is Nicholas?
12144And whom is this distinguished man?
12144And why did you save me from your men?
12144And you call such as these rogues?
12144And you did not desire my death?
12144And you did not once allow yourself to be tempted to back the red? 12144 And you have had an inspiration?"
12144And you knew? 12144 And you really killed all the women in the castle?"
12144And you remember, of course, Mr. Razoumikhin''s chattering? 12144 And you who pierced the magnate with a spike?"
12144And you will permit them?
12144And your muse is----?
12144Are there any Russian novels? 12144 Are they both asleep, or has some one strangled them?
12144Are you all here?
12144Are you going for a walk? 12144 Are you going to give her up, or not?"
12144Are you ill, or are you not?
12144Are you ill?
12144Are you in your senses, leader? 12144 At what hour did you receive this, sir?"
12144At what time?
12144Brandy, sir?
12144Brother, come here; for heaven''s sake, who is this?
12144But how are you going to work it?
12144But how did you find out? 12144 But how is it you know me?"
12144But no, that is not what I should do? 12144 But perhaps he did not think that such an order could apply to me?"
12144But supposing that all this is pure fancy?--a kind of mirage? 12144 But tell me, Edouard Vicentevitch, this new will, has it been written long?"
12144But the passport? 12144 But the safety match?
12144But what are you going to do about it?
12144But what are you talking about?
12144But what can I be thinking of?
12144But what do you think of Hermann?
12144But what is it all for?
12144But what was to be done? 12144 But where did the arms come from?"
12144But where is it-- where is the murdered man?
12144But why are you so pale, why do your hands shake? 12144 But why do they exasperate me?"
12144But why some day? 12144 But why such an elaborate toilette?
12144But why tell me all this now?
12144But why to- day?
12144But why?
12144But you belong to Zaraisk, do n''t you? 12144 But, my dear, what is there charming about her?
12144By all the devils,exclaimed Sölling in anatomical enthusiasm,"where did you find that superb arm?
12144Can I not enter? 12144 Can I not see her?"
12144Can it be so?
12144Can this be the punishment already beginning? 12144 Can you not drop your foreign phrases?"
12144Can you not name me these three winning cards?
12144Come where?
12144Come, get up, why are you sleeping so late?
12144Count, do you like strong sensations?
12144Damned odd coincidence, is n''t it?
12144Dare anyone still say it can?
12144Did any of you look into the window?
12144Did anyone see you on the way here?
12144Did he then speak-- before you?
12144Did nobody see the murderer?
12144Did you find the evening a pleasant one? 12144 Did you get it here?"
12144Did you know Aquilina?
12144Did you know, by- the- by, that I called on you the night before last?
12144Did you really know why?
12144Do I not appear too agitated? 12144 Do I not look too pale?"
12144Do n''t you understand? 12144 Do you consider yourselves all equally deserving of sharing_ the booty_?"
12144Do you know about that?
12144Do you know how my father died?
12144Do you like street music?
12144Do you remember my father?
12144Do you see these tears?
12144Do you see this betrothal ring? 12144 Do you wish me to settle with you?"
12144Do you wish to examine me formally?
12144Does he expect something?
12144Does he, perhaps, think me really innocent?
12144Edouard Vicentevitch? 12144 Eh, open, will you?"
12144Facts? 12144 Fair or foul?"
12144Fancy, Rodia, the discussion last evening turned on the question:''Does crime exist? 12144 From whom have you learned all this?"
12144Go ahead? 12144 Has the landlady sent me this tea?"
12144Have we ever offended you? 12144 Have you any news from my son?"
12144Have you been ill very long?
12144Have you heard the noise?
12144Have you prayed yet?
12144Have you seen a ghost? 12144 Have you taken leave of your senses, or what is it?
12144He was? 12144 His wife?"
12144How a bargain?
12144How a coincidence? 12144 How are you going to make a test?"
12144How can you sleep so long?
12144How could I help catching on?
12144How could such a horrible idea ever enter my head? 12144 How could they?
12144How could you have gone out if you had not been delirious?
12144How did you come here? 12144 How did you get up here?"
12144How do you mean, old?
12144How does this woman come to be here? 12144 How is it that you are not dressed?"
12144How is it that you can not hear me when I ring for you?
12144How much a pound do you want?
12144How much do you earn?
12144How much must we pay?
12144How much?
12144How shall I get you out of the house?
12144How should they be in good shape, when he came here to get a divorce?
12144How so? 12144 How so?"
12144How soon do you want it?
12144I am cold,she said to me,"do you not see?
12144I ask you for the last time: will you tell me the names of your three cards, or will you not?
12144I do not want to harm you; but I could put you in prison and in chains, and what would become of your sweetheart then?
12144I once more repeat the question I have put you: If you think me guilty, why not issue a warrant against me?
12144I will bring you the roll in a minute, but had you not better take some_ shtchi_[5] instead of the sausage? 12144 If I feel so timid now, what will it be when I come to put my plan into execution?"
12144If anyone came in, what would he think? 12144 If that is so, why have you called?"
12144If the letter was not for you, why have you torn it up?
12144Ill?
12144In a couple of days?
12144Interesting?
12144Is he in the Engineers?
12144Is it not very likely that some coming Napoleon did for Alena Ivanovna last week?
12144Is it possible that people can take so little care of themselves? 12144 Is it possible that there''s no one at home?"
12144Is it possible, gentlemen?
12144Is it possible? 12144 Is that an eating house there?"
12144Is that the way to hide anything? 12144 Is there anything you want?
12144Is this his first appearance?
12144It is certainly very enticing; what do you think?
12144It was you,he continued to Lupey,"who struck down the old man?"
12144It would not benefit you? 12144 It''s so well worth while, is n''t it?"
12144Knocked on the head?
12144Lupey, my son, what do you want here?
12144Madam, what is the use of these questions? 12144 Money?
12144More comfortable to die?
12144My enemies have paid you to murder me?
12144My name? 12144 Natasha?"
12144Not to lose precious time, perhaps your excellency would like to look at my wares? 12144 Now, I should like to know, sweet youth, what it signifies to you what I read?"
12144Of course we must go back again; but why then did she make an appointment? 12144 Oh, so that''s what you have been reading?"
12144On what?
12144Open, will you?
12144Or what, or what? 12144 Painters, you say?
12144Perhaps this is the finale, but why does he come upon me like a cat, with muffled tread? 12144 Pinched?"
12144Princess What? 12144 Recollect what?"
12144Shall I be able to hold out? 12144 Shall I put the boot on?"
12144Shall I remain here or go?
12144She is, of course, just as much of a fool as I am; but why do you, who are so intelligent, lie here doing nothing? 12144 So the new will has not been burned yet?"
12144So they''re not at home? 12144 So they''re there, are they?"
12144So this is hydrochloric acid for erasing ink? 12144 So you do not think this?
12144So you wish to make your fortune at one stroke?
12144Some work--"What sort of work?
12144Something for me?
12144Such a custom, I believe, is religiously observed in your profession, is it not?
12144Suppose I slipped into some doorway, in some out- of- the- way street, and waited there a few minutes? 12144 Suppose we do give him the money to- day; does that mean that we give it for good?
12144Suppose we question the porter?
12144Tell me once for all,asked the latter,"tell me one way or other, whether I am in your opinion an object for suspicion?
12144Tell me, doctor, does he expect his son and daughter?
12144That his hands should shake?
12144The Cave? 12144 The baroness?
12144The what?
12144Then we can soon suck his brains?
12144Then you do not know the reason why?
12144Then you think he will come?
12144Then, who-- who is it-- that has committed the murder?
12144There are newspapers here?
12144There''s nothing extraordinary about that----"She first liked you and then preferred Klausoff?
12144These words''in our latitudes,''these excuses for his familiarity, this expression''for short,''what could be the meaning of all this? 12144 They do n''t get on well together?"
12144Things are not in good shape between them?
12144To endure all this from him, and after his death to suffer beggary? 12144 To seal up the papers?
12144To the police? 12144 To unmask?
12144To what purpose?
12144To- morrow?
12144Very much?
12144Very well, I will compel you to unmask?
12144Very well,replied Hermann,"but do you accept my card or not?"
12144Was he not once a lithographer or an engraver, or something of the sort?
12144Was there not,thought he,"some spy, some mysterious myrmidon of the law, ordered to watch him, and, if necessary, to prevent his escape?"
12144Was your name written on your kalpag?
12144We have no blow- pipes nor test- tubes here?
12144Well, I will stay, of course; but what do I gain by it? 12144 Well, and how about the boot?"
12144Well, and what of that?
12144Well, what of that?
12144Well, what then?
12144Well, what''s to be done? 12144 Well, will you listen to that?"
12144Well,he went on, addressing Bodlevski,"will it suit you to have the person pass as Maria Solontseva, widow of a college assessor?"
12144Well?
12144Well?
12144Well?
12144Were you all there?
12144What am I thinking of?
12144What are you going to say?
12144What are you here for?
12144What are you mumbling about, Edouard Vicentevitch? 12144 What blood?"
12144What boot?
12144What can I say? 12144 What can he be driving at now?"
12144What color was his last suit?
12144What do you find interesting in her?
12144What do you mean, Hans?
12144What do you mean, grandmother?
12144What do you think? 12144 What do you want here?"
12144What do you want? 12144 What do you want?"
12144What do you want?
12144What does it mean?
12144What does this mean?
12144What evidence have you of that?
12144What for? 12144 What for?"
12144What for?
12144What good would his strength be, supposing he was asleep?
12144What had happened? 12144 What has happened?
12144What has happened? 12144 What has happened?"
12144What have you lost?
12144What have you to do with my sister,_ batuchka_?
12144What if I killed the old woman and Elizabeth?
12144What is all this?
12144What is going on here?
12144What is going on there?
12144What is he called?
12144What is incomprehensible about it?
12144What is it they are saying about you burning papers all night?
12144What is it to be?
12144What is it you want? 12144 What is it you want?"
12144What is it you want?
12144What is it, Paul?
12144What is it? 12144 What is it?"
12144What is it?
12144What is that noise?
12144What is the cause of this sudden tenderness? 12144 What is the matter with you, my child, are you deaf?"
12144What is the matter with you, my child? 12144 What is the matter with you, my dear?"
12144What is the matter with your master, Yakov? 12144 What is the meaning of such conduct?"
12144What is the need of further tests? 12144 What is there extraordinary in the query?
12144What is there in that?
12144What is there to do?
12144What is this you bring me?
12144What is this? 12144 What is this?"
12144What office?
12144What shall I do now?
12144What sort of papers?
12144What the devil is the matter with you, Simsen?
12144What were you busy at?
12144What were you doing in those rooms?
12144What were you dreaming about that you did n''t open the door for me?
12144What will be the end of it? 12144 What will you give me on this watch, Alena Ivanovna?"
12144What words was he to use? 12144 What, are you off already?"
12144What, what paper? 12144 What?
12144What? 12144 What?
12144Whatever are they all up to?
12144Whatever makes you sleep thus?
12144When did I dig here?
12144When shall I come?
12144Whence comes all this? 12144 Where am I?"
12144Where are they? 12144 Where are your facts?
12144Where are your facts?
12144Where did you go, allow me to ask?
12144Where did you put their bodies?
12144Where have I seen this fellow before?
12144Where is my father? 12144 Where is the blood?"
12144Where is the money?
12144Where is your master?
12144Where were you when you woke up?
12144Where were you?
12144Whither?
12144Who are you getting that passport for?
12144Who are you, anyway, you old hag? 12144 Who are you?"
12144Who can those people be?
12144Who committed the murder?
12144Who dares to say that?
12144Who else could it be? 12144 Who fired on me?"
12144Who fired there?
12144Who has bolted the door then?
12144Who is its captain? 12144 Who is sneaking in here?"
12144Who is the gentleman you wish to introduce to the Countess?
12144Who is the''brother''?
12144Who is this Kallash? 12144 Who killed them?"
12144Who told you?
12144Who''s going to look in, if all their bones are shaking?
12144Whom have I the honor of addressing?
12144Whose house is this?
12144Why are you looking at me thus?
12144Why did I say,''So it seemed?''
12144Why did n''t you say so before?
12144Why did you come so late?
12144Why did you not hear me, unhappy children? 12144 Why did you not tell me before?"
12144Why do you drivel? 12144 Why do you think that?"
12144Why have gone out at all? 12144 Why have they opened all the doors?"
12144Why impossible? 12144 Why not?"
12144Why should I be alarmed by these trifles when I am contemplating such a desperate deed?
12144Why should I? 12144 Why should he hate me so-- for all my love to him, an old man, who might have been my father?"
12144Why should n''t I be here, if I am all right here?
12144Why stay here?
12144Why that sword at your side, Imre?
12144Why were you so impatient,_ batuchka_? 12144 Why will you not believe in the guilt of Maria Ivanovna?
12144Will that get us out of his power? 12144 Will the funeral service be soon?
12144Will you allow me to take a card?
12144Will you take it or not? 12144 Would not your excellency be so good as to choose one of these bags to make a test?
12144Would not your excellency prefer to be carried to the bed? 12144 Would you like some tea?"
12144Write what?
12144Yes; what are you reading?
12144Yes? 12144 Yesterday,"observed Raskolnikoff,"you had, I fancy, a wish to examine me formally-- with reference to my dealings with-- the victim?
12144You are a student?
12144You are going back?
12144You are waiting, I suppose, to cast lots for the girl?
12144You aren''t-- what''s- its- name? 12144 You did n''t expect to meet me, Natasha?"
12144You did not expect visitors, Rodion Romanovitch?
12144You do n''t think it is worth while?
12144You do n''t understand? 12144 You do not understand?
12144You have been expecting this visit? 12144 You have heard?"
12144You have nothing to say?
12144You knew my daughter was going to run away?
12144You mean that I am a sharper, like you and Bodlevski? 12144 You preferred a little journey to Russia, did n''t you?"
12144You put yourself on my level? 12144 You remember that funny little chap with the crafty eye, his talent for gambling, and his admiration for the girl of''La Prunelle''?
12144You say you love me?
12144You see that house, the second from the corner? 12144 You think so?
12144You went out yesterday?
12144You wish to know why I tell you this? 12144 You wish to pray?"
12144You yourself, dear count, had some trouble about some bonds, if I am not mistaken?
12144You-- Marcus-- Ivanovitch? 12144 You?
12144You? 12144 Yuzitch?"
12144_But how do you know the article was mine?
12144''Why,''you will ask,''did you not come on that occasion and have my place searched?''
12144''With deep regret,''''with heartfelt sorrow,''what did she care?
12144''Would you rather explain it as magic?
12144A blow of the ax on his sinciput( if again I may be permitted to use your ingenious metaphor)?
12144A hum of talk spread among the guests:"Count Kallash----""Who is he----?"
12144According to law, only the last will is valid?"
12144Acquit him, when the laws of God and man condemn?"
12144After a while the barkeeper said,"And did your-- friend make an appointment?"
12144All traces were gone, and who would think of looking there?
12144Am I at this moment committing myself to any definite statement?
12144Am I capable of_ that_?
12144Am I or am I not candid?
12144Am I right?
12144Am I saying anything I should not?
12144And Koch: was he not below in the silversmith''s for half an hour before he went up to the old woman''s?
12144And for what reason?"
12144And if they were found who would suspect him?
12144And run over to the orderly; why should he sit there, kicking his heels?
12144And the Golden Band?
12144And the announcement?"
12144And the daughter?
12144And the old will, which he made before, has been destroyed?"
12144And what confederate could be more trustworthy than Sergei Antonovitch Kovroff?
12144And what did you gather from it?"
12144And what does Lyeskoff say about them, or Petcherski?
12144And what is it to me whether such a man walk about the place in perfect liberty?
12144And where?
12144And who''s that other mug down there?
12144And why is there blood under the master''s window?"
12144And why should the matter not have happened thus, for instance?
12144And why was he so unjust to her at the last?"
12144And, above all, to go in that secret manner?
12144Are there not proofs enough for you?"
12144Are they all dead?"
12144Are you going to paint it?"
12144Are you ill?"
12144Are you not that Jolanka Bardy whom they call''The Angel''?
12144Are you not yourself reading for the law, Rodion Romanovitch?"
12144Boot, lining, rags, where shall they go?"
12144But do you know anything more tiresome than to work over the same subject a second time?
12144But how did you know that he had pledged anything with Alena Ivanovna?"
12144But how do you like the general idea of my plan?"
12144But if God is against us, who can resist His hand?
12144But perhaps you would like something more substantial before tea, would you?"
12144But the keys?
12144But the story itself?
12144But then, the police?
12144But what are you?"
12144But what can you do?
12144But what did this Hermann, or whatever his name is, tell you?"
12144But what is this form?
12144But what says your heart?"
12144But what was to be done?
12144But when his pains began this morning....""Is it the end?
12144But where are you off to, Chubikoff?
12144But where is he now?
12144But where is the carriage?"
12144But where shall we go?"
12144But where should he go?
12144But who brought you here?
12144But who can know what the bitterness of dependence is so well as the poor companion of an old lady of quality?
12144But who would distinguish them?
12144But why do you grow pale, Rodion Romanovitch?
12144But why should he be disturbed about them?
12144But why should he speak in such covert terms?
12144But why should he take my child away from me?
12144But you will ask me: Supposing you are certain of your proofs?
12144But, I ask you, will he go and accuse us knowing that, as the penalty for his purchase, he will have to accompany us along the Siberian road?"
12144But, perhaps, you do n''t like being called respectable?
12144But, pray, do sit down-- why remain standing?
12144But... still I....""Still you what?"
12144By the way, she must be very old, the Princess Daria Petrovna?"
12144By what means?
12144Can he have been listening?"
12144Can it really be true?
12144Can we feel secure?
12144Can you imagine such a thing?
12144Can_ that_ really be serious?
12144Clever idea, was n''t it?
12144Come, now, make a clean breast of it-- you know you were out of your mind, were you not?
12144Come, why am I taking this walk now?
12144Could I ever be capable of such infamy?
12144Could I not see it?"
12144Could he have left the country altogether?
12144Could you not help us with some clew, some explanation----?"
12144Did I not forbid you?
12144Did I not say yesterday as I went up the stairs how disgusting and mean and low it all was, and did not I run away in terror?"
12144Did Porphyrius give me a kind of wink just now, or was I deceived in some way?
12144Did the old rector have much trouble about it?"
12144Did they awake?
12144Did they rise from the dead?
12144Did you know Aquilina?"
12144Directions?
12144Do honorable women murder their husbands?
12144Do you accept it?"
12144Do you hear?
12144Do you know him?"
12144Do you know that quarters provided by the State are by no means to be despised?"
12144Do you know who she is?
12144Do you know who she looks like?"
12144Do you know who the third person was?"
12144Do you never shut your place?"
12144Do you not hear me or understand what I say?
12144Do you not know me, my son Lupey?"
12144Do you remember, at mother''s, my maid Natasha?"
12144Do you remember, my sisters, the last will of our father, which was thus executed?
12144Do you see it?''
12144Do you think we would lie to you and stain the honor of the gang for twenty measly rubles?"
12144Do you understand?
12144Do you usually sleep on the bare floor?"
12144Do you want some more tea, Eugraph Kuzmitch?"
12144Do you want to ask anything more?"
12144Does he expect her husband, too?
12144Does one of the Roumin nation seek enemies in women?
12144Everything is relative, I suppose, Rodion Romanovitch?"
12144Farewell, my own beloved bride.... What will she do?
12144For Heaven''s sake, how did your boot get into the garden?"
12144For centuries past have so many honorable men fought in vain to uphold the old tottering constitution, as you call it?
12144For the time being, I have to deal with Mikolka; there are facts which implicate him-- what are facts, after all?
12144For your grandsons?
12144Friends, let us bring this-- What are you looking at?
12144From the moment of being convinced, you ought to----""What is the use of my conviction, after all?
12144Had the devil carried him off bodily?
12144Happily he noticed a sleepy watchman leaning leisurely against a wall, and going up to him he said:"Tell me, where is the Cave?"
12144Have I laid finger on the sentiments which actuate you?
12144Have we no social interests?
12144Have we not something that will suit?"
12144Have you any tobacco?
12144Have you any?"
12144Have you been stupid enough to take them down off their frames, and take away their tickets?
12144Have you ever seen a butterfly close to the candle?
12144Have you forgotten it?
12144Have you lost your voice?
12144He comes to me this morning, and says:''Why is the master so long getting up?
12144He had n''t time to take the second boot off when----""There you go!--and how do you know they strangled him?"
12144He must have something else in view-- what can it be?
12144He pondered for a few moments, then called out,"Jens Larsen, where was it you saw the rector digging?"
12144He stood hesitating a moment:"Had I not better go away?"
12144He suddenly made me a proposal, secretly of course; would I not take some gold dust off his hands?
12144He triumphed openly over his accuser, and laughed at him,"Ca n''t you find anything, you libeler?"
12144Here we have two professions quarreling with one another, and who shall say which is right?
12144His son- in- law, the pedagogue?"
12144His startled manner seemed to ask:"Am I in a lunatic asylum?"
12144His vanity, do n''t you see?
12144How can I hide it?"
12144How can that be?
12144How can you wish to send us both to hell for the sake of a pale girl?
12144How could I know?"
12144How could he come?
12144How could that light- minded woman have so deeply wounded my father?"
12144How dare I tell you?
12144How did you find out that I was here?
12144How do you explain her unwillingness to give us any information?
12144How does that come about,_ batuchka_?
12144How is it possible that all this can not have struck Razoumikhin?
12144How is it you never seem to have money for anything now?
12144How is that?
12144How now, I ask you, could I avoid connecting that with what followed upon it?
12144How old is the baroness?"
12144How shall I tell you?
12144How to finish?
12144How was it that it had not occurred to him that she had come in by way of the door?
12144How will she survive the terrible day?
12144I am to submit to all this?"
12144I assume that the government price is known to your excellency?"
12144I bitterly thought,''When will I go to rest?''
12144I ca n''t give lessons when I have no boots to go out in?
12144I fancy I can see it from here; it is somewhere in a kitchen garden-- it was a kitchen garden you mentioned to Zametoff, was it not?
12144I have brought up some tea, will you take a cup?
12144I know nothing-- What can I do?
12144I left you in the thick of the fun; who came off best?"
12144I might throw my hatchet away somewhere?
12144I suppose''Novoe Vremya''and''Novosti''will be enough?"
12144I wo n''t detain you long, only the time to smoke a cigarette, if you will allow me?"
12144If God sends us no further enlightenment in this unfortunate affair, what sentence must you give?"
12144If anybody asked"What is the time?"
12144If the porter had asked him:"What do you want?"
12144Immediately:''Who bought the other box?''
12144In a completely raving state?"
12144In what way?"
12144Is he a soldier or a civilian?"
12144Is he here?"
12144Is he likely to escape into the very heart of our country?
12144Is he worse?"
12144Is it correct, or must another form be drawn up?"
12144Is it dangerous?"
12144Is it my daughter?"
12144Is it not ridiculous?"
12144Is it not so?"
12144Is it possible?
12144Is it possible?"
12144Is it really you, my poor friend?"
12144Is it so?"
12144Is my old master, the Rector of Veilbye, still alive?"
12144Is n''t she like her grandmother, the Princess Daria Petrovna?
12144Is one ruble fifteen kopecks all you mean to give me now?"
12144Is that hidden?
12144Is that the way to hide anything?"
12144Is the doctor here?"
12144Is there not a young girl with golden locks among them?"
12144Is there one among them whom I have allowed to suffer want or ruin, whom I have not assisted in times of need?--or have I ever treated them unjustly?
12144It may be a sort of presentiment of evil; who knows?
12144It may have been in your room, while you were asleep, for there is nothing that he--"Three ladies approaching him with the question:"oubli ou regret?"
12144It seems to me that a man could hardly be more so-- for do I not reveal confidence, and that without the prospect of reward?
12144It was a woman''s arm, then-- what sort of a woman might she have been?
12144It''s a girl''s arm; is n''t it beautiful?
12144Just give me permission----""What are you going on about?"
12144Kirsten Mads''daughter, what is it that you know of this matter in which Morten Bruus accuses your rector?
12144Kovroff agreed completely, but at the same time put the question, if not cards, what plan was available?
12144Let the music sound, and the wine flow; who knows when we will see each other again?"
12144Listen, do n''t you hear the noise it makes?
12144Lizanka,[2] where is my snuffbox?"
12144Lucien-- I did something----''"''Did what?''
12144Marcus Ivanovitch murdered?"
12144Marcus Ivanovitch?
12144Merciful God, how could I doubt any longer?
12144Mr. Zametoff saw what I had by me, and perhaps he can say whether I was in my right senses yesterday or whether I was delirious?
12144Murdered?
12144Must she die?
12144Must this be the end?
12144My dear old man, wo n''t you intrust this business to me?
12144My name?"
12144Nephew Tamas, you will speak to them?"
12144Nicholas and Psyekoff held him, but who smothered him?
12144Now I have nothing to say against duty and conscience, but let us see, how do we understand them?
12144Now what?
12144Now, I ask you, where was the need of your coming at that time at all?
12144Now, am I candid enough?"
12144Now, what I wanted to ask was: On going upstairs-- was it not between seven and eight you entered the house?"
12144Numa took the hands of the two lovers, and, gazing long and earnestly on their faces, he said, in a voice of deep feeling,"You love one another?"
12144Of course you were here last Saturday evening?"
12144Of what use is it to you?
12144Oh, those arms there?
12144On the stairs he recollected that all the things were in the hole in the wall, and then where was his certificate of birth?
12144One of the workmen now saw him and cried:"What do you want here?"
12144Or as the work of fairies?
12144Or do you believe in ghosts?
12144Or had this strange and inexplicable occurrence robbed him of his sanity, and robbed me of his friendship and his excellent whisky?
12144Or is it, rather, owing to our being too straightforward to mislead one another?
12144Or is the punch wearing off already?
12144Or out of cunning?
12144Or were they not true patriots and heroes?
12144Or... the general''s wife?
12144Otherwise, we----""What do you want with him?"
12144Ought I to give them credit for intentions they have not?
12144Perhaps he was right-- why not?
12144Perhaps you are too hot; shall I open the window?"
12144Petersburg?"
12144Petersburg?"
12144Petersburg?"
12144Princess How?"
12144Princess Which?
12144Question you about what?"
12144Raskolnikoff''s anger grew in consequence; he could hardly help returning the magistrate''s look with an imprudently scornful glance,"Is it true?"
12144Shall I give them to you?"
12144Shall I go and fetch you a roll?"
12144Shall I last so long?"
12144Shall I say the word or not?
12144Shall not one little crime be effaced and atoned for by a thousand good deeds?
12144Shall we enter?
12144She longed to ask her mistress whither they were going, and what for?
12144She sank to her knees, then sprang up again, fell back several steps as if afraid of me, and cried out:"Would you murder my father?
12144She was afraid to lock it, and after all, was it necessary?
12144Should she send his letter back to him, or should she answer him in a cold and decided manner?
12144Since Porphyrius knew next to nothing about me, why on earth should he have spoken with Nicodemus Thomich Zametoff at all?
12144Sit down?
12144So it is a bargain?"
12144So we are fabricating passports?
12144Some third person did the smothering; but who was it?"
12144Someone will hear you, someone may come; and then, what shall we say?
12144Suppose I had misunderstood?
12144Supposing you were to drink some water, dear friend?
12144Suspicious, is n''t it?
12144Tea?
12144Tell me what is the matter?
12144Tell me, dearest one, tell me truly, do you yourself believe your father to be innocent?"
12144Tell me, who is she?"
12144That''s all very well, but how am I to go without my tobacco?
12144That''s you, Dukovski?
12144The Countess remained silent; Hermann continued:"For whom are you preserving your secret?
12144The barkeeper looked at him sharply and suspiciously, and then asked, with a smile:"Who did you say?"
12144The commercial or the nobility?"
12144The keys?
12144The paper?
12144The practice or form will never die out-- I can vouch for that; but what, after all, is the form, I ask once more?
12144The satin of the cushion was there, but where was...?
12144The wooden one?
12144Then he turned to the sunburned man:"What did you give him, General Gardener?"
12144Then what am I questioning?
12144Then why those questions in the office?
12144Then, again, would the cases sink?
12144These two apparently dead men had come back from the cemetery, but how, in what manner, by what means?
12144To denounce themselves?
12144To deprive her, to deprive them both, of everything, all on account of those hated people?
12144To what Government?"
12144Very well, let us say that I am crazy; but how do you explain her confusion when we appeared?
12144Very well, then, how, under such circumstances, could a man help becoming biased?
12144Waiter,"he cried, seizing his cap,"here, how much?"
12144Was her blush a favorable sign?
12144Was it intended for a bribe?
12144Was it not so?
12144Was it not you who had some trouble about forged notes in Paris?"
12144Was it of his grandmother''s words, or of the golden- haired Jolanka that he thought?
12144Was it possible?
12144Was it possible?
12144We burst out into loud laughter at this remarkable answer, but Sölling continued:"Can you imagine it?
12144We have caught three already-- isn''t that so?
12144We have two of them in our hands; but who is the third?
12144Well, what about him?"
12144Well, what do you think?
12144Well, what is the matter with you?"
12144Were they only apparently dead?
12144Were you at B----''s yesterday?"
12144What am I to use as a substitute?
12144What are they seeking here?
12144What are you busy at?"
12144What are you going to do?"
12144What are you up to?
12144What can one do with a few kopecks?"
12144What can you be talking about?
12144What class do you wish to make the person belong to?
12144What did you say?"
12144What directions?
12144What do you demand?"
12144What do you mean, count?
12144What do you mean?"
12144What do you say, dear count?"
12144What do you say?"
12144What do you think of this explanation?
12144What do you think, doctor?"
12144What do you think?
12144What do you think?
12144What do you want?"
12144What does he want?"
12144What fate has brought him here?"
12144What great courage is necessary for that?"
12144What had happened to them?
12144What have you got for me?"
12144What in heaven''s name can they want now?
12144What in proportion is the life of this miserable old woman?
12144What is become of the nation, the heir of so much glory?--the proud Dacians, the descendants of the far- famed legions?
12144What is holding me?
12144What is it?"
12144What is it?"
12144What is that in your hand?"
12144What is the matter with you,_ batuchka_?"
12144What is the name of this bridge?
12144What is the news?"
12144What is the use of concealing?
12144What is written on that sign- board?"
12144What is your excellency good enough to think on that score?"
12144What is your name?"
12144What is your opinion, pray?
12144What is your opinion?
12144What keys?
12144What kind of end?
12144What made you think that Naroumoff was in the Engineers?"
12144What made you think that he was in the Engineers?"
12144What may I be thinking about now?
12144What money?
12144What more can you ask?"
12144What on earth is the matter with you?"
12144What people believe less than ever, they must have believed once, eh?"
12144What quantity of gold does your excellency wish to take?"
12144What shall I do now?
12144What shall I do?"
12144What should we pray for?"
12144What sort of weather is it?
12144What the devil do you want here?
12144What was it my father said when you put this ring upon my finger?
12144What was it?
12144What was it?
12144What was the object of it?
12144What was there so particularly significant in the sound of these footsteps?
12144What were we to do?
12144What would you have me do?
12144When he entered the room he looked so angry and at the same time so upset that I cried out:"What''s the matter, Sölling?
12144When will you learn enough to drop your deductions?
12144Whence came this presentiment?
12144Whence has such a disaster come?
12144Where are they?"
12144Where are you going?"
12144Where are you off to?
12144Where can the old woman have gone?
12144Where can we get so much from?
12144Where could he hide?
12144Where could she put it?
12144Where did I obtain these new clothes from?
12144Where did it come from?"
12144Where did they come from?
12144Where is Klausoff?
12144Where is Olga Vseslavovna?"
12144Where is his body?"
12144Where shall I put it?
12144Where the deuce can she be?
12144Where the devil is that arm?
12144Where was Yakov?
12144Where was it?
12144Where was the box?
12144Where were the keys?
12144Where were you, my good fellow, the night the master was murdered?
12144Where will it be?
12144Where, I ask you, could he go to?
12144Where, he asked himself, had he met this man?
12144Who are you?"
12144Who are you?"
12144Who authorized you to lose all there is for the hope of what may be?
12144Who can it be?
12144Who could have taken it?
12144Who else could it be?
12144Who gives you champagne to drink?"
12144Who had intrusted you with the fate of our country, to tempt the Almighty?
12144Who has told you that you are absolutely right?"
12144Who is its captain?"
12144Who is she?"
12144Who knows what may come over us yet?
12144Who told you?"
12144Whom do you intend to captivate?
12144Why are you all looking at me like that, as if I was the murderer?"
12144Why are you asking that question?"
12144Why did Porphyrius, in speaking of the old woman, simply say''At her place?''
12144Why did Zametoff observe that I had spoken very sensibly?
12144Why did he go to the bears when he was not sober?
12144Why did the lieutenant question me after my swoon?
12144Why did they call the porter if it were their work?
12144Why do n''t you apply to the porter?"
12144Why do n''t you drink, devil take you?
12144Why do n''t you join in, Simsen?
12144Why in the Neva?
12144Why in the water at all?
12144Why not to- night?
12144Why not?
12144Why should I not do you such a trifling service?
12144Why should I not try my fortune?
12144Why should he pass over her own mother, and intrust her to her half- sister?
12144Why should he wink at me?
12144Why should we waste several weeks, or even months, over something that could be done in a few days?"
12144Why?"
12144Why?"
12144Will you not take a seat?"
12144Would not you?"
12144Would they not rather float?
12144Would they not rather have arrested me, instead of waiting till I should come of my own accord?
12144Would you believe it, Porphyrius?
12144Would you have believed me?
12144Would you like a Russian one?"
12144Would you murder your betrothed bride?
12144Yes, but I am very interesting to you, am I not?"
12144Yes?
12144You agree?
12144You are a cultivated man-- a literary man, are you not?"
12144You are always alone-- is your sister never with you?"
12144You are ill.""Do I seem strange?"
12144You are not afraid?"
12144You catch on?"
12144You do n''t think so, perhaps?"
12144You had sent him, had you not?
12144You have asked the landlady, I suppose?
12144You have come from the examination?"
12144You have n''t a pain in it?"
12144You knew she was going?"
12144You know what it contains?
12144You know what the name of our secret is?
12144You recollect-- you surely recollect?"
12144You remember the day I stood in your room?
12144You used to give lessons, I hear; how is it you do nothing now?"
12144You want to preach me a sermon?
12144You were one of Aquilina''s admirers yourself-- does it follow that you are implicated too?"
12144You would not run there, I suppose?"
12144You''ll eat something, will you not?"
12144Your head is n''t what- do- you- call- it?
12144Yours would not, I suppose?
12144a rich man-- a favorite of the gods, you may say, as Pushkin has it, and what did he come to?
12144am I going mad?"
12144can I not speak with you?"
12144can they be asleep?"
12144cried Nastasia,"but you must be ill then?"
12144cried Simon,"what are you going to do?
12144for you, is it?
12144he continued;"have you not left one alive?
12144how could he have left all those things where they were?
12144is this indeed possible, and must it be?"
12144murmured he in despair,"what is the matter with me?
12144or shall I take it elsewhere?
12144or take a cab?
12144she cried,"but what is it?
12144she hissed fiercely, looking at the girl; and then she added quickly:"Did any of the others know?"
12144suddenly exclaimed the young man,"look!--do you notice how the door resists when we pull it?"
12144the girl laughed,"What kind of wealth is that?"
12144the sick man interrupted him;"she has come?
12144the stone, the stone, you will remember, under which the stolen things are hidden?
12144to send a telegram?"
12144two o''clock already?"
12144was n''t that the reason why she was kneeling before the icons, when we came in, just to take our attention away?
12144what is going on here?"
12144what on earth is wrong with you?"
12144where are my family?
12144where are you running to?"
12144where is my bride?"
12144why add that?)"
12144why did you not take my word?"
12144would you have us use holy water against a shower of stones?"
12144you here?"
31426All done up brown and slick, Jack old hoss, now what?
31426All set, Perk?
31426And so this is where our friend has his secret hideout at such times when he so mysteriously disappears from his big show place near Miami? 31426 As what, partner?"
31426But hold on a bit-- mebbe now somethin''s a''goin''to strike up we''ll both be sorter glad to set eyes on-- looky there, old hoss, what do you see?
31426But what makes him keep all this smuggling business clear of this wonderful show place near Miami?
31426But what''s the big idea, partner?
31426Course, you knocked up against the gent then, eh Jack?
31426Do we tow the ship behind the sloop, partner?
31426Do you mean he''s got a collection there, Jack?
31426Er--''bout how long will we be in makin''some sort o''start, boss?
31426Give up?
31426How about a little grub for a change, partner?
31426How''bout spendin''the night here, partner?
31426How?
31426I calculate now it means we c''n move around an''get tabs on this here hideout o''the gent we''re so much in love with, eh, what?
31426I get you, boy-- the machine- gun, is it?
31426I swan, but you''re right there, Jack-- which looks kinder like he did n''t mean to strike out for Miami, do n''t it?
31426Jack, I''member there''s a log a''lyin''right over there-- why could n''t I use that an''really break through?
31426Jack-- what''s happened-- are you bad hurt, buddy?
31426Just so, and what d''ye reckon we''re going to do with it?
31426Know how long you''ll be away, Jack?
31426Looks like it might a come all the way across the gulf-- d''ye think from some Mexican port, Jack?
31426Me, I''m jest awonderin''?
31426Meanin''we c''n get somewhere without tryin''to tow the rum- boat behind our crate, and making a long and tiresome job o''it, eh what, partner?
31426Mebbe the Lockheed- Vega comin''back again?
31426Notice that he''s already banking, so as to lay his course toward Cape Sable-- square in the south-- get that, do n''t you Perk?
31426Now would n''t that jar you?
31426Paper, you say?
31426Partner, would you mind tellin''me what about this here Oswald Kearns?
31426Say, what sort of a crazy gyp are you to want to talk things over while we got this scrap on?
31426So-- you think that''s a queer name, do you? 31426 That''s our boat you''re standin''on, and we need it in our business, see?
31426Think that''s this here Kearns, partner?
31426Was he tickled to learn how we managed to run off with that slick little sloop that carried so neat a pack o''cases marked with foreign stamps?
31426We do n''t want him to give us the slip, since he''s the on''y prisoner we got, do we, partner?
31426Well, I guess now that would queer our game, would n''t it, partner?
31426Well, we''ve got the rum- boat okay, have n''t we?
31426What do I see but another crate humping along this way, an''outen the no''th in the bargain?
31426What is it, Perk?
31426What next, Boss?
31426What''re we goin''to do with this chap?
31426What''s that matter to you?
31426What, me? 31426 When do we hop- off, then?"
31426Why not?
31426Would n''t that jar you?
31426Yeah, an''what might that be?
31426Yeah-- but how?
31426You do n''t say?
31426You got me guessin''partner,said the puzzled Perk;"then who''s mixed up in the shindy, I want to know?"
31426You got me in a tail spin, partner-- lift the lid, wo n''t you, an''gimme a look in?
31426You heard me warn them to keep a watchful eye out for smugglers and hijackers by land and sea and air? 31426 You mean_ tonight_ while I was picking up a few winks of sleep-- is that a fact, Perk?"
31426A bit tired in the bargain I take it, partner?"
31426A few more steps and he would have reached the well-- then what must take place?
31426An''now I wonder where we''ll be sent for the next big job we tackle?"
31426An''that goes, partner, see?"
31426But Jack, tell me, you do n''t think he''s got our man alongside him, do you?"
31426But how''bout draggin''that ere mudhook up off the ground-- think we c''n tackle the job between us, Jack?"
31426CHAPTER XXIX A LAST RESORT Meanwhile how fared Jack in his share of the attempt to corner the defiant and persistent law- breaker?
31426Could anything be fairer than that, Perk asked himself, preparing for business at the drop of the hat?
31426Could this later fire have been directed at Jack, who had unwisely exposed himself at the side window?
31426Do n''t think they c''n lamp us lyin''here, do you, Boss?"
31426From this time on seems to me we''d be wise to play a lone hand, an''not bother about takin''any gyps into our confidence, eh what, Jack?"
31426Get that do you, Perk?"
31426Get that, Kamarad?"
31426Got a line on the racket, old boss?"
31426Got that piece of stout rope I gave you?"
31426How about Jack?
31426How does the land lie over there?"
31426How''bout that, old hoss?"
31426Is it all right with you, buddy?"
31426Listen to''em squabble, will you, boy?
31426Mebbe now you noticed some sort o''crate just vanishing among them clouds off toward the east as you breezed along?"
31426No objections, have you, Perk?"
31426Now I wonder what he wants to barge in for when things seem to be doin''their prettiest for us fellers?
31426On a previous occasion the same thing had handily proved its efficacy, so why not again?
31426Perk was asking,"mean to kidnap both o''these guys Jack?"
31426Say, ai n''t this the boss job though?
31426See here, what''s the matter with you, staring that way, Perk?"
31426So he used to fish in them passages''tween the mangrove islands years ago, did he, Jack?"
31426Strikes me they''re a''searchin''for somethin'', Jack, which might be the pair o''us, eh, what?"
31426Tell me, did this Mr. Ridgeway fork over any news worth knowin''?"
31426Well, I''m asking you again, where did you ever run across it-- who ever spoke it in your hearing, Perk?"
31426What could he do should this crisis come upon him, Jack was asking himself as he crouched there and counted the minutes passing by?
31426What''s her name and where are you from?"
31426What''s it mean, Perk-- was he kicking up a mess around here?"
31426Whatever under the sun is he doing, I wonder?"
31426Who got fooled that time, I want to know, Gabe Perkiser, you smarty?"
31426Why d''ye suppose we did n''t see the crate before?"
31426Would it be proper to set the bally boat afire and see all this hot stuff go up in flames?
31426but ai n''t this the life, though?"
31426do n''t I know how impatience is my besettin''sin and ai n''t I always a''tryin''to curb it?
31426ejaculated Perk,"that there''s the place we learned they was shippin''Chinks over to Florida from, ai n''t it Jack, boy?"
31426partner, what''s broke loose, would you say?"
31426so_ this_ is where he dropped down, is it?"
31426that drummin''noise, it''s stopped-- wonder if they got out to the sloop or else smell a rat an''are lyin''low till they make it a dead certainty?
31426that''s so, old hoss,_ what?_ Mebbe now the shoe''s on the other foot, an''it''s the blamed sloop that''s got us held up.
31426the weight do n''t count with such a husky as me, old hoss an''how do we know what''s goin''to happen before we gets back here?
31426two may be company, but three''s considered a crowd and we might have found we''d bitten off more than we could chew, so what does it matter?"
31426what d''ye mean by sayin''that, old pal?"
31426what''s this I''m seein''partner?"
31426why not?"
33922Burke had a level head, had n''t he?
33922How did you hurt your hands, Schwartz?
33922How do you mean?
33922How?
33922If there''s an earthquake at Susquehanna when pay- day comes around, you do n''t know anything about it, do you understand?
33922Is that so?
33922Is this the key to the bank?
33922Well,said Ryan,"they would like to know, for one thing, if there is any way of beating these new Yale locks?"
33922Who have you in this house?
33922Will you tell us now?
33922Having written these down also, the robber came close to his prisoner and said,"Will you swear these figures are correct?"
33922How came it there?
33922Meantime Evans found himself growing more and more embarrassed, and one day he said,"What is it these people want to know?"
33922Meeting Scott in Prospect Park some time after the robbery, Evans said,"When are you going to settle and give me my share?"
33922Mr. Pinkerton seemed to hesitate a little, and then said:"Can I trust you, Schwartz?"
33922Should they arrest the man before he took flight, or should they let him go?
33922Suddenly he burst out:"What did you do with that coat-- the one you cut the mask out of?"
33922The question was, Where and by whom had the substitution been made?
33922Will you do it?"
27523''A rope of fear''was what he said, was n''t it? 27523 ''So far as his labours extended''?"
27523''We will suppose,''said the miser,''that his symptoms are such and such; now, Doctor, what would you have directed him to take?'' 27523 ''What then?''
27523A mistake? 27523 A rope?"
27523Absolutely?
27523And Irene Adler?
27523And Mr. Van Broecklyn? 27523 And afterward?"
27523And confidential?
27523And for present expenses?
27523And how did you find out?
27523And mademoiselle''s address?
27523And now, Dupin, what would you advise me to do?
27523And now?
27523And that door?
27523And the master cut you out with her?
27523And the paper on the walls?
27523And the papers?
27523And what do you want to know that for? 27523 And what is the difficulty now?"
27523And what of Irene Adler?
27523And what then?
27523And what, after all, is the matter on hand?
27523And when will you call?
27523And where is Marcus Ivanovitch?
27523And who are these gentlemen?
27523And who is Nicholas?
27523And why in hopes?
27523And why?
27523And you saw nothing, heard nothing?
27523And your father- in- law?
27523Another feather in the cap of foolish old Scotland Yard, is n''t it?
27523Anyone hurt?
27523Are you going Saturday night?
27523But could not the cavity be detected by sounding?
27523But how did you find out? 27523 But how will you look?"
27523But how?
27523But is this really the poet?
27523But the article lost-- what is it?
27523But the safety match? 27523 But to whom?"
27523But what is it you wish?
27523But what purpose had you,I asked,"in replacing the letter by a fac- simile?
27523But where is it-- where is the murdered man?
27523But you have hopes?
27523But, Puss, why one more? 27523 Ca n''t you reproduce a copy of it from memory?"
27523Ca n''t you see it in my face?
27523Can they hear us?
27523Can you hear anything-- anything?
27523Can you see that from the floor, Walter?
27523Can you tell me who the thief is?
27523Come where?
27523Did I not tell you how quick and resolute she was? 27523 Did any of you look into the window?"
27523Did he leave any message?
27523Did you know Aquilina?
27523Do you know that you have not told me in whose house I am? 27523 Do you mean that she has left England?"
27523Do you see any light, however?
27523Do you see any objection, dear, to obliging the sergeant with a sight of the books?
27523Do you think this Albano had anything to do with the letter?
27523For not only have the notes vanished, but I''ve lost the best night- watchman I ever had, a good, trustworthy man--"Lost him?
27523Good Heavens, Calcott, where did this come from? 27523 Happened, sir-- happened?"
27523Have a drop of brandy and water? 27523 Have you anything to tell, Miss Strange?"
27523Have you come to help me?
27523He made no statement, I suppose, before he died, to give an idea of the assassin? 27523 How did that help you?"
27523How did you come here? 27523 How is this known?"
27523How many? 27523 How much was the reward offered, did you say?"
27523How often?
27523How should I know what happened? 27523 How,_ hopes_?"
27523How? 27523 How?
27523How?
27523I am afraid, ma''am,says I,"that you have not hit on any little criminating discovery in the lodger''s room?"
27523I am to be neutral?
27523I heard a cry-- at least--"Right through the closed door of a nine- inch concrete- walled vault, Wilson?
27523I thought you gave good customers more than three years''credit?
27523Is Mr. Spielhagen sure that the missing page was with the others when he sat down in the adjoining room to read his thesis?
27523Is it likely that anyone overheard your conversation then? 27523 Is it possible, gentlemen?"
27523Is it possible? 27523 Is it-- I mean the table-- in the same condition it was then?
27523Is she hurt?
27523Is the poor gentleman much hurt?
27523Is this chair standing exactly as it did when Mr. Spielhagen occupied it?
27523It is a most unfortunate tragedy indeed, almost a dual one, one might say, but I think you can safely trust yourself in our hands, eh, Headland?
27523Its susceptibility of being produced?
27523Madam, what is the use of these questions? 27523 May I have a look at its emptiness?"
27523Might be aconite-- but how administered?
27523Mr. Sherlock Holmes, I believe?
27523No ghosts?
27523No idea as to the cause of death, Mr. Brent? 27523 No legal papers or certificates?"
27523No sign of it?
27523No whispers from impalpable lips or touches from spectre hands? 27523 No?
27523Nor running a chance of arrest?
27523Not by me?
27523Not my shopman?
27523Nothing more in the assassination way, I hope?
27523Now, I wonder who the deuce that could have been?
27523Now, Walter, do you think you could stand another dip into that red ink of Albano''s?
27523One of that sort is he? 27523 Patterson?"
27523Say, is there a candy store on this block?
27523Simmons had been shut in there by myself, Mr. Headland, and--"Shut in, Mr. Brent? 27523 Simple and odd?"
27523So soon as that?
27523So?
27523Still, may I not have a look at it?
27523Surely you do n''t allow smoking in the vault, Mr. Brent? 27523 That idle slut, the maid?"
27523Then how do you know?
27523Then how many are there?
27523Then, as to money?
27523Then, in the name of heaven, who is?
27523There''s nothing extraordinary about that--"She first liked you and then preferred Klausoff?
27523They do n''t usually kill anyone, do they?
27523This Wilson, Mr. Brent,Cleek asked quietly,"is he a young man?"
27523This is a very unexpected turn of affairs,said I;"and what then?"
27523This is strictly private?
27523Was he tied or bound then?
27523Was the photograph a cabinet?
27523Well, and how about the boot?
27523Well, and what of that?
27523Well, what of that?
27523What are you here for?
27523What boot?
27523What colour was his last suit?
27523What do you imagine that it means?
27523What do you make of that?
27523What do you want me to do?
27523What do you want?
27523What does that mean?
27523What evidence have you of that?
27523What exactly do you mean by that, Mr. Brent? 27523 What good would his strength be, supposing he was asleep?"
27523What has that to do with the case?
27523What have you found, Headland?
27523What is incomprehensible about it?
27523What is it?
27523What notes?
27523What then?
27523What was that?
27523What yard? 27523 What''s that, Inspector?"
27523What''s the matter now, Jack?
27523What''s the matter?
27523What''s the matter?
27523What- a you get- a you pay for? 27523 What?
27523What? 27523 When may I pay you the same compliment on finding the thief?"
27523Where are you going?
27523Where is your master?
27523Where were you when you woke up?
27523Where, indeed?
27523Where, then?
27523Which are?
27523Who else could it be? 27523 Who has taken it?"
27523Who is George?
27523Who is it then?
27523Who is sneaking in here?
27523Who is young Wilson, Mr. Brent, and why should he instead of the inspector have been left alone with the body?
27523Who told you?
27523Who''ll go down and get me a bottle of ginger ale?
27523Who''s going to look in, if all their bones are shaking?
27523Whom have I the honour of addressing?
27523Why did I suspect Mr. Brent? 27523 Why should n''t I be here, if I am all right here?"
27523Why so?
27523Why will you not believe in the guilt of Maria Ivanovna? 27523 Why, indeed?"
27523Will you please to prepare yourself for a very disagreeable surprise, sir?
27523You are ready to assert this?
27523You are sure she has not sent it yet?
27523You aren''t-- what''s- its- name? 27523 You do n''t mind breaking the law?"
27523You do n''t understand? 27523 You explored the floors beneath the carpets?"
27523You had my note?
27523You have not showed this to the police, I presume?
27523You have really got it?
27523You have the photograph?
27523You have, of course, an accurate description of the letter?
27523You include the grounds about the houses?
27523You looked among D----''s papers, of course, and into the books of the library?
27523You looked into the cellars?
27523You say you have left your hotel?
27523You-- Marcus-- Ivanovitch? 27523 You-- knew?"
27523You_ knew_? 27523 ''Tisn''t that chap I suppose?
27523''What would either''s life be worth with the other alive and happy in this world?''
27523A man who has stolen money, or a man who has stolen a wife?"
27523After that I rushed to the safe and--""Why did you do that?"
27523Again: have you ever noticed which of the street signs, over the shop doors, are the most attractive of attention?"
27523And run over to the orderly; why should he sit there, kicking his heels?
27523And so what does it all come to?
27523And then your agitation made me risk the guess.... What''s that, Inspector?
27523And what did the local police say?
27523And what does Lyeskoff say about them, or Petcherski?
27523And what does she propose to do with the photograph?"
27523And who''s that other mug down there?
27523And why is there blood under the master''s window?"
27523Are there not proofs enough for you?"
27523Are you positively certain Simmons said nothing as to the cause of his death?
27523Are you quite sure of that?"
27523As he entered the wine- shop he snorted, after the manner of gasmen,"Where''s de leak?"
27523At length I said:"Well, but, G----, what of the purloined letter?
27523Brent?"
27523Brent?"
27523Brent?"
27523But did they get anyone this time?
27523But do you think she would have given those few minutes of perfect understanding with her blind husband for a few years more of miserable life?"
27523But her tone was light as she ventured to say:"Then it can no longer be opened by your hand or any other?"
27523But how--""Was there a secret marriage?"
27523But how?"
27523But the note itself-- what do you deduce from it?"
27523But where are you off to, Chubikoff?
27523But where is he now?
27523But where look?
27523But who brought you here?
27523But, I say, Jack, is somebody else ready too?
27523Cleek?"
27523Coming our way, Mr. Wilson?
27523Could this be the explanation of the mystery?
27523Could you give a little advice in the case of a friend of mine?"
27523Could you not help us with some clew, some explanation--?"
27523D''youse all wanter be blown ter pieces wid dem pipes and cigarettes?
27523Did he expect a murder or robbery beforehand?
27523Did he know the notes had vanished?
27523Did he say?"
27523Did he vanish with the notes?"
27523Did it so allow and so provide?
27523Did n''t get his watch, I suppose?"
27523Did this mean fear?
27523Did you know Aquilina?"
27523Do I look pretty good?"
27523Do honourable women murder their husbands?
27523Do you happen to know any of the shopkeepers on it or near it?"
27523Do you know who she is?
27523Do you know who the third person was?"
27523Do you note the peculiar construction of the sentence--''This account of you we have from all quarters received''?
27523Do you remember the story they tell of Abernethy?"
27523Do you see any objection to my shutting myself in there for a few minutes?"
27523Do you think he would let me use his store for a few minutes Saturday night-- of course without any risk to himself?"
27523Do you want some more tea, Eugraph Kuzmitch?"
27523Do you want to see what I found, gentlemen?
27523Do you wonder that I have never been or lived like other men?"
27523For Heaven''s sake, how did your boot get into the garden?"
27523For example, an arrant simpleton is his opponent, and, holding up his closed hand, asks,''Are they even or odd?''
27523Friends, let us bring this-- What are you looking at?
27523Granted the fact of the marriage, what proof does it afford me of the innocence of the three persons concerned in that clandestine transaction?
27523Had Mr. Van Broecklyn a suggestion to offer?
27523Had a few weeks''work and a close connection with the really serious things of life made this change in him?
27523Had any discovery been made in our absence; or would it be made now that renovation and repairs of all kinds were necessary?
27523Had it feet-- hands?
27523Has nothing been taken from it except the manuscript?"
27523Have they found any clues yet?"
27523Have you forgotten it?
27523Have you never been here before?"
27523Have you never met him?"
27523He comes to me this morning, and says:''Why is the master so long getting up?
27523He had n''t time to take the second boot off when--""There you go!--and how do you know they strangled him?"
27523He telephoned to the office and-- Was there anything else Miss Strange would like to know?
27523His vanity, do n''t you see?
27523How could I know that the house was so still and the rooms so dark because everyone was out searching for some clue to my mother''s flight?
27523How could I know?"
27523How did you find out that I was here?
27523How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?"
27523How do you explain her unwillingness to give us any information?
27523How should I act to get my little Adelina back without harming a hair of her head?"
27523How should I escape them, how ever reach my own little room again, undetected and in safety?
27523How was the murder committed, and what did this little rattler have to do with it?
27523I ai n''t supposed to do dis wit''out orders, see?"
27523I hope that I have made myself clear?"
27523I know nothing-- What can I do?
27523I must be cleared, and instantly, of every suspicion,"he gravely asserted,"or how can I marry Miss Digby to- morrow?"
27523I presume you have at last made up your mind that there is no such thing as overreaching the Minister?"
27523If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?"
27523Immediately:''Who bought the other box?''
27523Intelligent, is n''t it?
27523Is it not a pity that she was not on my level?"
27523Is it possible?"
27523Is it the less real?
27523Is n''t that so, Mr. Brent?
27523Is this an unjustifiable imputation of bad motives?
27523Just give me permission--""What are you going on about?"
27523Marcus Ivanovitch murdered?"
27523Marcus Ivanovitch?
27523May we bring him in, marm?"
27523Miss Digby--""The lady who is to be married to- morrow?"
27523Mr. George Barrington, eh?
27523Murdered?
27523My dear old man, wo n''t you intrust this business to me?
27523Nicholas and Psyekoff held him, but who smothered him?
27523Nothing to explain the mystery of that room so long shut up that even Mr. Van Broecklyn declares himself ignorant of its secret?"
27523Now the question is-- where are we to find the photograph?"
27523Now this mode of reasoning in the schoolboy, whom his fellows termed''lucky,''--what, in its last analysis, is it?"
27523Of course you were here last Saturday evening?"
27523One of them had the impertinence to say to me,"If you please, sir, who is it that we are after?
27523Otherwise, we--""What do you want with him?"
27523Over his shoulder I could see a tangled mass of dark brown curls, and a childish voice lisped:"Why did n''t you come for me, papa?
27523Peppermint drops, or aniseed balls, eh?"
27523Perhaps you have forgotten--?"
27523Shall we call it off and fly, as the poor creatures in there think we have, to the opposite ends of the earth?''
27523Should she know it if she did see it?
27523Shut in, did you say?
27523Six hours later another note was found, this time; from the wife:"FATHER:"Tied to a rotting corpse what does one do?
27523Some third person did the smothering; but who was it?"
27523Suppose you tell Mr. Narkom and myself the details, right from the beginning, please?
27523That''s you, Dukovski?
27523The money is all right, he says?
27523Then he sniffed the air, and uttered a casual remark:"Fond of sweets still, are you Mr. Wilson?
27523Then how did Mr. Wilson here, and the inspector enter?"
27523Then young Wilson told me that he himself had closed the safe door.... What are you smiling at, Mr. Headland?
27523There was a door which no man ever opened-- had never opened since Revolutionary times-- should she see it?
27523Thought you''d have escaped with that £ 200,000 and left your confederate to bear the brunt of the whole thing, did you?
27523Very well, let us say that I am crazy; but how do you explain her confusion when we appeared?
27523Was his look one of rebuke at her presumption, or just the constrained expression of a perturbed mind?
27523Was it a pitfall into which the poor little lady had fallen?
27523Was it a presence which could be felt?
27523Was it not so?
27523Was she his client, his friend, or his mistress?
27523Was there any explanation for this strangely self- centred life?
27523Was this Arthur?
27523We have caught three already-- isn''t that so?
27523We have two of them in our hands; but who is the third?
27523Well, what is the matter with you?"
27523What are you getting up for?
27523What did they say?"
27523What do you think of that, Inspector Theakstone?
27523What else could she do?
27523What exactly were his last words to you?"
27523What fate has brought him here?"
27523What good will it do me if they catch them and my little Adelina is returned to me dead?
27523What had happened?
27523What if the real Black Hand is any gang of criminals who choose to use that convenient name to extort money?
27523What in heaven''s name can they want now?
27523What is it, Luigi?"
27523What is the address of this Albano''s?"
27523What is the case?"
27523What is the natural conclusion to draw from the conversation which I have just set down?
27523What is this, 23- 1/2 Prince Street?"
27523What made you ask?"
27523What the devil do you want here?
27523What time was it when young Wilson discovered the door of the bank unlatched?"
27523What was that, Luigi?
27523What was the doctor''s verdict?"
27523What was the relation between them, and what the object of his repeated visits?
27523What was to be done?
27523What were they to do?
27523What were they to think?
27523What, for example, in this case of D----, has been done to vary the principle of action?
27523What?
27523When was the murder discovered and who discovered it?"
27523When will you learn enough to drop your deductions?
27523When you got downstairs with the inspector, Mr. Brent, did you happen to notice the safe or not?"
27523When?"
27523Where are you going?"
27523Where can I find a quiet spot?
27523Where can I find you to- morrow?"
27523Where had it vanished, and through whose agency had this misadventure occurred?
27523Where is Klausoff?
27523Where is his body?"
27523Where were you lunching?"
27523Where were you, my good fellow, the night the master was murdered?
27523Where?
27523Who could have been his confederate?"
27523Who else could it be?
27523Who told you?"
27523Who would think of looking here for either you or me?''
27523Who--?"
27523Whom have I the honour to address?"
27523Why are you all looking at me like that, as if I was the murderer?"
27523Why do n''t you drink, devil take you?
27523Why should I attempt to conceal it?"
27523Why should she hand it over to anyone else?
27523Why should they not combine together and steal a cash- box?
27523Why was it that after such a loss Mr. Van Broecklyn seemed to renew his youth?
27523Will Simmons?
27523Will you humour me so far?"
27523Wilson, you understand you are to come with us?
27523Would it advance?
27523Would it not have been better, at the first visit, to have seized it openly and departed?"
27523Would she not have made an admirable queen?
27523Would you like to stand in Mr. Sharpin''s shoes?
27523Would you mind telling me what you know about it if I promise you that I, too, have something to reveal?"
27523You agree?
27523You did not take to pieces all the chairs?"
27523You do not mean to set at naught the well- digested idea of centuries?
27523You have come from the examination?"
27523You have n''t a pain in it?"
27523You might-- do a little more, I think, eh?"
27523You quite follow me?"
27523You remember, you heard the sound of that pipe, Mr. Wilson?
27523You understand?"
27523You want to preach me a sermon?
27523You want- a me do your work?"
27523You were one of Aquilina''s admirers yourself-- does it follow that you are implicated too?"
27523You''re not going already?"
27523You''re not insinuating that that boy murdered old Simmons, are you?
27523Your head is n''t what- do- you- call- it?
27523Your majesty will, of course, stay in London for the present?"
27523a rich man-- a favourite of the gods, you may say, as Pushkin has it, and what did he come to?
27523did you put anything particular in it?"
27523in what way?"
27523my boy, what do you make of that?"
27523someone asked;"and insert it in its proper place among the pages you hold there?"
27523was n''t that the reason why she was kneeling before the icons, when we came in, just to take our attention away?
27523who ever heard of such an idea?"
30989All right-- what is it?
30989And Jim McFann uses that kind?
30989And you claim that you were frightened away by the arrival of Fire Bear and his Indians before you had a chance to remove the rope?
30989Any relatives?
30989Anyway, what about it?
30989But could n''t he have shot himself?
30989But do n''t you find lots to recompense you?
30989But how did he come to give it up?
30989But how did it become known,asked Helen,"when everything seemed to be so thoroughly in our favor?
30989But of what use is all such planning when destiny wills otherwise? 30989 But they''ll hardly be taken alive, will they?"
30989But you''ve been over the ground a dozen times, have n''t you?
30989Did he always use a Greek letter brand on his cattle?
30989Did he have any children?
30989Did he have any lawyers?
30989Did n''t have the nerve to shoot at a purty face like that, did you? 30989 Did you see any Indian police on the way?"
30989Do you intend to go back and take up the chase for Talpers and McFann?
30989Do you know where McFann is hanging out?
30989Do you know,she said,"I wish this letter could have come back to me from any one but you?"
30989Do you mean to say that Talpers was over here last night and that here is where he got that scalp- wound?
30989Do you think she will tell any one?
30989Does any one know why he came on this trip?
30989Fire Bear will have nothing to say?
30989Have n''t you found out anything new about Sargent?
30989Have the Indians always got along with him pretty well?
30989Have you learned anything through his bank?
30989Hello, Jim,he called, as the half- breed''s lithe figure swung in through the outer doorway;"ai n''t you even a little afraid of the Injun police?"
30989How about McFann? 30989 How about the sawed- off shotgun?
30989How did he get away?
30989How did she know that?
30989How do you know he was murdered?
30989How do you know it?
30989How do you know there was a thousand- dollar bill in that roll?
30989How do you mean?
30989If that was so, why should he drive through the agency at night and be killed going away from the reservation? 30989 If you ca n''t hear a yeggman working right next to your sleeping- quarters, how do you expect me to hear him,''way over to White Lodge?
30989Is n''t it a little early to come to that conclusion?
30989Is there any one besides my stepfather on his ranch? 30989 Is there anything to tell who he is?"
30989Is there anything wrong-- anything I can do to help you?
30989Is this shooting of Talpers going to have any effect on McFann''s trial for the other murder?
30989It is n''t any wonder that the Indians fought hard for this country, is it?
30989It''s all right,said Lowell,"but where did you get it?"
30989Look here,said Lowell bluntly,"is that stepfather of yours treating you all right?
30989Looks as if we ought to bring in the half- breed, do n''t it?
30989Looks like an Injun job, Lowell, do n''t it?
30989My what?
30989No? 30989 Oh, that''s what''s worrying you, is it?
30989Only in a way? 30989 Remember how we splashed through mud the day we ran out there and found that man staked down on the prairie?"
30989Rogers,said Lowell to his chief clerk, on getting back to the agency office,"how many years has Willis Morgan been in this part of the country?"
30989Suppose I tell my stepfather and he comes here and takes the letter away from you?
30989Tell me,said Lowell, as he helped her from the automobile,"is he-- is Morgan better, and is he treating you all right?"
30989That letter does n''t amount to so much as you think,said Helen;"and, anyway, suppose I swear on the stand that I never wrote it?"
30989That trouble- maker, Fire Bear, is the only one who travels much with a gang, ai n''t he?
30989The Indian police do not report to any one but you, do they?
30989Then you wo n''t come away?
30989There must have been twenty- five of''em in the bunch, anyway, ai n''t I right, Plenty Buffalo?
30989This old fly- fighter''s a pretty good horse for one of his age, is n''t he, Wong?
30989Was n''t it strange the way things turned out?
30989Well, Red Egan, did you ever hear of Jimmy Valentine?
30989Well, if they did n''t do it, who could have? 30989 Well, what do you think about it all, Tom?"
30989What about him?
30989What are they?
30989What business have bachelors such as you and I to be talking about any reformations wrought by woman?
30989What do you mean?
30989What do you mean?
30989What do you want me to do?
30989What does Plenty Buffalo think about it all?
30989What hold could he possibly have on me-- on us?
30989What is it?
30989What makes you think that?
30989What odds if I say yes or no? 30989 What right have you to be afraid for me?
30989What sort of a home did he have?
30989What''s Plenty Buffalo found?
30989What''s the matter, Jim?
30989When?
30989Where is the body?
30989Where was he?
30989Where you goin''now?
30989Who else told you that?
30989Who was that man?
30989Why did n''t he say so at the time?
30989Why did n''t you bring the Indian police to arrest me?
30989Why did n''t you tell me you were coming over?
30989Why do you come in with this story, at this late day?
30989Why have all our hopes been destroyed in this way at the last moment? 30989 Why is it?
30989Why were you so afraid of the Indian police?
30989Why will she tell the Indian agent?
30989Why, what''s come up about Morgan?
30989Why, what''s gittin''into you, Jim?
30989Why?
30989Will they-- will they be hanged if found guilty?
30989Would anything about his home indicate what sort of a man he was?
30989You are Edward Sargent, the man who was supposed to have been murdered?
30989You are going?
30989You are postmaster here, Mr. Talpers, are n''t you?
30989You did n''t see any Indians doing this, did you, Talpers?
30989You heard?
30989You know what we''ve come after you for, do n''t you?
30989You mean Bill Talpers?
30989You mean Talpers?
30989You''re a square guy, judge, but if that''s the letter you''ve been wantin''to get, why do n''t you read it? 30989 Your impertinence?"
30989Your name is Red, is n''t it?
30989Ai n''t she a beauty?"
30989Ai n''t that fair enough?"
30989Also that you came upon this dead body, with your rope used to fasten the murdered man to stakes that had been driven into the prairie?"
30989Also, how did she know that the watch was Sargent''s, seeing that it had no marks of identification on it?
30989Also, if they offer any big bills in payment for goods-- say anything like a thousand- dollar bill-- just give me the high sign, will you?
30989Also, were there any confederates?
30989Am I bringing an unjust indictment against you, pardner?"
30989Any word you want to send to the Indian agent?
30989Besides, it may come useful in my business-- who knows?"
30989Besides, who knows that she may be right and we''ve been misjudging Morgan all these years?"
30989But the agent-- how much was he learning in the course of his persistent searching, and from what angle was he going to strike?
30989But when you are so eager to get every thread of evidence, how is it that you can give this letter to me, unread?
30989But, after all, what does it matter?
30989Do you mean that you did n''t know?"
30989Do you remember?"
30989Has he come?"
30989Have n''t I ridden away out here just to be sociable to you?"
30989Have you found anything to hang a whisper of suspicion on?"
30989Have you strength enough to try to follow?"
30989How did she know just how much money had been taken from Sargent''s body?
30989How- de- do, Miss Ervin?
30989I do n''t care what you do with me, but how are you going to hang Fire Bear or hang me for being near that body,_ when Bill Talpers was there first_?"
30989I guess you ai n''t heard about the robbery that''s happened in our metropolis of Talpersville, have you?"
30989I guess you do n''t know how many notches I''ve got on the handle of this forty- five, do you?"
30989If I go over that ground one hundred times, and do n''t find anything, what does it prove?
30989If it''s expiation you seek, do you think that cowardly sort of expiation is going to bring anything but new unhappiness to_ her_ out there?"
30989Is this some of your work,"she added bitterly, addressing Lowell--"some of your work as a spy?"
30989It was necessary to get Helen away, where she could not possibly tell what she knew, but why not hide her in the mountains?
30989Or, if stronger methods were necessary, let Talpers attend to them himself?
30989Ruel?"
30989She buried her face in her hands a moment, and then said, quietly:"Did you know that my stepfather had married an Indian woman?"
30989Suppose you found that your love for me was bringing you in direct conflict with your duty?"
30989Tell me, do you think they have a chance of going free?"
30989Tell me, who are these men you have arrested?"
30989The only question is-- do you think you can get him before the trial, and are you sure the Injun''ll come in?"
30989The only questions were: Just how was the crime committed, and how deeply was each man implicated?
30989Then he said, suddenly and mysteriously:"You know Talpels?"
30989They will be acquitted, will they not?"
30989Was they long or short, rolled or flat, or tied with pink ribbon?"
30989What are finger- prints but manifestations of Nature?
30989What bearing did your trip have on it?"
30989What difference can it make who is hurt, so long as the truth is known?"
30989What does Plenty Buffalo think about them?"
30989What has happened to change matters so suddenly?"
30989What if I refuse to testify against them?"
30989What sort of papers was it you said you lost, Bill?"
30989What''ll we do?"
30989Why did Miss Scovill change her mind so completely after arriving at Morgan''s ranch?
30989Why do you keep talking to me about Talpers?
30989Why not drag my brother''s body out on the prairie at the side of the road and stake it down?
30989Why such an extreme sentence?"
30989Would the county authorities at White Lodge please forward remains without delay?
30989Would the girl provide him with information which she might not dare give to others?
30989You say you are in love with me?"
30989he asked;"Bill did n''t take any of them thousand- dollar things from you, did he?"
2789''Think not ambition wise, because''tis brave?''
2789A child?
2789A sister who is always worrying about a handsome brother is bound to lose him, eh, Gertrude?
2789About Paul? 2789 About what, pray?"
2789All at our house?
2789All ready?
2789All right, Clip?
2789Am I not a full- fledged''strained''nurse, now? 2789 Anchors?"
2789And Daisy? 2789 And Ed?"
2789And have you told him the book was stolen?
2789And help you pick up the humans? 2789 And her accomplice?"
2789And if the girls find out?
2789And the specific charge?
2789And the umbrella?
2789And there are to be no boys?
2789And these two people talked with you?
2789And they sat you upon that log?
2789And they unfolded blueprints? 2789 And what do you ask?"
2789And you can state that she is improved in health since leaving her mother''s house?
2789And you did n''t speak with any other persons than this boy?
2789And you had only his word?
2789And your lunch was in it?
2789And your occupation?
2789And, Cora, do you know that mailbag business is not by any means settled?
2789And, you are not hurt?
2789Any boys?
2789Any qualifications? 2789 Are n''t they dreadful?"
2789Are n''t you frightened of-- this invasion?
2789Are there drawers in it?
2789Are you almost strong enough to-- play football?
2789Are you better, Paul?
2789Are you better?
2789Busted?
2789But did any one walk along with you to talk with you?
2789But how about Clip? 2789 But however did you happen along, Cecilia?"
2789But if he could find it, why would he not do so, and destroy the document?
2789But was n''t it strange how it all came about?
2789But what about yourself?
2789But what motive could they have?
2789But what will the college girls think? 2789 But why did you pick it up without asking?"
2789But why should Ida stoop to such a thing?
2789Ca n''t I see it? 2789 Ca n''t we tow it?"
2789Can you come, Jack?
2789Can you make it?
2789Cora Kimball,called Daisy,"have you been drinking too much tea?"
2789Cora, darling,cried Maud,"who has frightened you?"
2789Cora,spoke Hazel suddenly,"did you hear what Ed said to Jack about Paul''s hold- up?"
2789Could I get that?
2789Could n''t we just as well conform to the regulation speed?
2789Could the neglect have been intentional?
2789Could you hear anything those men were saying?
2789Did n''t I see you?
2789Did n''t I tell you it was a joke? 2789 Did n''t I tell you?
2789Did n''t grandpa show it to me once? 2789 Did n''t you hear about Mr. Robinson wanting to send him away for his health?
2789Did n''t you run over her dining- car one day early this summer?
2789Did n''t you think those strange men acted suspiciously?
2789Did she say anything about the book?
2789Did the boys do it?
2789Did they fetch the car back?
2789Did they say Hazel?
2789Did you ever see such old- fashioned houses in all your born days?
2789Did you ever think there were so many kinds?
2789Did you tell them what it was?
2789Do n''t you know that Cissy Thayer and Jack Kimball are suspected of abduction? 2789 Do n''t you know that Paul has been entirely cleared?
2789Do n''t you know you are sure to get some wonderful blessing for having to stand this loss? 2789 Do n''t you suppose they will turn back before we reach the Glen?"
2789Do n''t, eh? 2789 Do you know him, if I may ask?"
2789Do you know him?
2789Do you think I had best go with him?
2789Do you think the folks will be glad to see me?
2789Do you want me to hug you? 2789 Do you want to spatter yourself all over my nice clean machine?"
2789Dr. Bennet? 2789 For an operation?"
2789For sale?
2789Grandpa''s will is lost in an old table, and will you promise to help find it?
2789Had an accident?
2789Has Belle all your tools packed? 2789 Has your customer paid for the table?"
2789Has, eh? 2789 Have you a warming pan?"
2789Have you an inlaid table-- a card table or one that could be used for one? 2789 Have you any idea what he is after?"
2789Have you any witness?
2789Hazel, you do n''t want to lose the sheepskin for insubordination, do you?
2789Here is about where they enforce the speed laws, is n''t it?
2789How are things, Wren?
2789How are you? 2789 How can we, now?"
2789How could they do otherwise when Cecilia acted as she did? 2789 How do you do, Wren?"
2789How do you know it will be paid for?
2789How do you know?
2789How do you like me?
2789How is Paul?
2789How much is it?
2789How should they know Hazel? 2789 How''s the baby?"
2789How?
2789However did you do it?
2789Human?
2789I see; of the Whitehall Company?
2789I should just like to know what you would have done without us?
2789I wonder if we could buy the beast? 2789 I''m not tiring her, am I, Miss Brown?"
2789Ida Giles, too?
2789If they wanted the table why did they not bring the money?
2789Is Clip coming to- day?
2789Is little Wren happy?
2789Is n''t Sid''s car new and-- yellow?
2789Is n''t it too bad that Hazel had to turn back?
2789Is n''t it too mean? 2789 Is that you, sis?"
2789Is there no one here worth a telephone message but Hazel Hastings?
2789Is there nothing I can do, Cora?
2789Is this the officer?
2789Is your premonition all fulfilled, Cora?
2789Jack, how can you use slang in the presence of ladies?
2789Let me lead now, Cora?
2789May I have it?
2789Might I look at it?
2789No message I can send?
2789No one hurt?
2789Nothing more to do with them?
2789Now do you see what that means?
2789Of what?
2789Oh, do n''t you know?
2789Oh, do you know Ed Foster? 2789 Oh, is it Paul?"
2789Oh, tell me,begged Cora,"is it Wren?"
2789Oh,sighed Daisy,"do you suppose they will spoil all our boxes?"
2789Or was it Bess? 2789 Other medical treatment?"
2789Poster?
2789Pray, who are''we''?
2789Say, sis,he added,"did I tell you I have my suspicions about the loss of Wren''s book?
2789Sell him? 2789 Set in on the sides, I suppose?
2789Shall I lose my honorary membership in the Motor Girls''Club?
2789Shall we look for Ed first?
2789So much obliged for the feed; and do we make a party call?
2789So you did get the table?
2789So you like the real thing in gloves?
2789Some foreign postcard book?
2789Souvenirs?
2789Suppose she were as sensible as you or I? 2789 Suppose you stay outside until I call you?"
2789Table d''hote?
2789That lawyer''s remark about Jack Kimball?
2789That was Reed, miss, was n''t it?
2789Then she is being cared for?
2789Then suppose I order a table, like the one with the oars and anchors?
2789Then they brought you out here?
2789Then why,asked the judge,"did you take the child away?"
2789They did sign, did they?
2789They will ask you how old you are, and what is your occupation?
2789Think? 2789 Tillie,"she said suddenly,"could n''t you and Adele shut up shop for a week and come with us?
2789To whom, may I ask?
2789Was n''t it a joke?
2789Was n''t it dreadful?
2789Water?
2789We are all right, you are all right, and what more do you ask?
2789We shall expect--"The bunch?
2789Well, the price?
2789Well, what''s the price?
2789Well, what''s up?
2789Well, where shall we hope to find him?
2789Well,exclaimed Belle, the sentimental one,"who is star- gazing, now?
2789Were n''t you awfully frightened?
2789Were they discussing a patent, do you think?
2789What can it be?
2789What could be said of Cecilia Thayer?
2789What could happen to him? 2789 What did they look like-- I mean personally?"
2789What do you suppose he meant?
2789What do you think of that?
2789What happened to them?
2789What happened?
2789What has happened?
2789What in the world was it?
2789What is it?
2789What is that album I see in the window?
2789What of it? 2789 What on earth do you think the ram will do with Walter?"
2789What promise?
2789What should break down?
2789What will the antique man think of three autos stopping at his door?
2789What wo n''t they say?
2789What''s she doing?
2789What''s that to you?
2789What''s that?
2789What''s the particular risk now? 2789 What''s this?"
2789Whatever does this means?
2789Whatever will they say to you two runaways?
2789When do we eat? 2789 Where do you suppose they are going?"
2789Where?
2789Where?
2789Which way?
2789Who took it?
2789Who''s that?
2789Why do you suppose Hazel was so anxious about Paul?
2789Why in the world did n''t you ask who had ordered the table?
2789Why not?
2789Why not?
2789Why should a girl turn her back on a young man with a brand new machine?
2789Why should we explain?
2789Why should you leave your machine out here? 2789 Why, Jack Kimball, what are you thinking about?"
2789Why?
2789Will he really kiss us?
2789Will she fetch the morning papers? 2789 Will some of you girls leave off biting the air, and make a good cup of tea?"
2789Wo n''t Aunt May be waiting for us? 2789 Wo n''t it be jolly to build miniature caves to keep the wind from the lamp?"
2789Wo n''t she be at the sanitarium?
2789Wonder where that motor- cycle officer is now?
2789Would n''t the courage just naturally come on my side? 2789 Would they make a scandal of it?"
2789Would you like to hear the note?
2789Would you mind, Cora,said Ed suddenly,"if the gentleman outside asked you a few private questions?"
2789Yes, but,faltered Cora,"suppose you should have a breakdown on that lonely road?
2789You are the young lady who removed the child?
2789You do n''t mind me calling you Cora? 2789 You know the child-- Wren Salvey?"
2789You mean the antique shop?
2789You mean they might call on those whose names appear in the book?
2789You mean-- I should not have come?
2789You see, Mrs. Salvey has been called to account for Wren-- did you ever hear of anything so ridiculous? 2789 You take me over to Hazel''s, Jack?"
2789You think they know where the table is?
2789Your case?
2789Your friends are from Exmouth, are n''t they?
2789Your mother took the car?
2789Your name?
2789Am I not right?"
2789And Maud Morris hated to bother him, but could he just stop at Clearman''s and get her magazine?
2789And Walter Pennington?"
2789Are n''t they splendid?
2789Are you ill?"
2789Are you ready, girls?"
2789As if divining a change in the girl''s mind, Duncan Bennet said:"Now, you wo n''t disappoint me?
2789At three- thirty, was n''t it?"
2789But Hazel said:"What do you suppose they are up to?"
2789But do you remember what the man said about having to put his overcoat on to feed that animal?
2789But how are you?"
2789But we must not condemn Daisy-- her mother had the health- traveling habit, and what was Daisy to do with herself?
2789But what is it all about?"
2789But where can you get such a piece as that?"
2789But where shall I write-- say in two days''time?"
2789CHAPTER XI THOSE DREADFUL BOYS"No BOYS, eh?"
2789Ca n''t you make it something reasonable-- and then something for your own trouble?"
2789Ca n''t you take a joy ride without committing murder and suicide?"
2789Cora is captain, is she not?"
2789Cora, what did you forget in that runaway car?"
2789Cora-- What is the matter?"
2789Could that fellow have known what he was saying?
2789Did n''t I tell you?
2789Did n''t I tell you?"
2789Did n''t he ramify, though?"
2789Did not the motor girls also tell you that they met me on the road to Breakwater two days ago?"
2789Did she describe to you the pair who last signed the contract?"
2789Did you every try a bunch of dandelions on the table?"
2789Did you know that Mathilde Herold and Adele Genung are keeping a tea- house this summer, to earn enough money for their senior year?
2789Did you see the car?
2789Do n''t take no tips from nobody, d''ye hear?"
2789Do n''t you see it, Hazel?"
2789Do you really think we ought to make Breakwater tonight?"
2789Do you suppose the post- office will do anything to Paul?"
2789Do you suppose you could get one?"
2789Do you think there is any possibility of us failing to get back?"
2789Do you want to speak with C.?
2789Does she know?"
2789Finally he spoke:"Have you ever been in a courtroom?"
2789Gertrude, have I told you about the Grotto?
2789Had she fainted?
2789Has Hazel been treating you again with some of her magic suggestion business?
2789How could we fix it up?"
2789How do you like it?"
2789How ever did you get those vines to grow so promptly?"
2789How is she treating you?"
2789How''s the chap getting on?"
2789I am going away from here, and suppose the other customer never comes back?"
2789I am going to do the Whirlwind all my own way, am I not, Cora?"
2789I might go along?
2789I say, girls, is n''t that the utmost?"
2789I suppose I may extend the kiss of peace?"
2789I suppose you have a good deposit?"
2789I suppose, Walter, you hired the ram to do the proper thing in initiating the motor girls in the art of touring?"
2789I wonder will I ever have the courage to tell you all about it?"
2789In a suit case or a la hamper?
2789Is it all right?"
2789Is n''t it too mean that our old lumber wagon gave way?
2789Is n''t she tall, Tillie?
2789Is she a friend of yours?"
2789Is she going to be operated upon?"
2789Jack Kimball, how could you?
2789Joke, eh?"
2789Like our campus maps, you know?"
2789Might it be a time- table?"
2789No more stolen girls?"
2789Not a girl in the party but yourself saw-- what was it?
2789Now, Daisy, do you think you can run your machine without taking in any more circuses?
2789Now, do n''t you think it would be perfectly splendid to take the run with us?"
2789Now, who does that fit?"
2789She had no more idea of saying that than of saying:"Do you think it will snow?"
2789She may have guessed, but that is not knowing, is it, Cora?"
2789She will likely manage to keep out of the work, do n''t you think so?"
2789Show displeasure to so affable a hostess?
2789Suppose I want to be''run in''for traveling without a glimmer''?"
2789Take care of the ram, boys, and am I eligible for the trophy?
2789That Wren Salvey has been stolen- stolen, do you hear?"
2789The girls were utterly surprised, but what could they say?
2789The lines of some amateur poet flashed across the mind of Cora:"Does heaven in sending such as these, From Nature hold a claim?
2789The mystery is simply who took the papers and otherwise left the mailbag intact?"
2789Then for a moment he seemed uncertain-- should he lay the girl down, or carry her to a machine?
2789Then he blurted out:"Well, what if a friend did tip me off?
2789Then she added:"I wonder if we could arrange it to have Hazel come?
2789Then-- What was it?
2789They have to pass this way, do n''t you, Ed?"
2789They say it is a disease, is n''t it, doctor?"
2789To keep them nearer to The Gates, To call them in again?"
2789To kill folks as try to feed him?
2789To say nothing of putting so nice a boy as Paul to inconvenience?"
2789Tom seemed to know so much-- what if he should know about the missing table?
2789Was it not all right for her to ride with Doctor Bennet, to reach Chelton by noon and return before night?
2789Was it really time to get up?
2789Was n''t he in as much danger from your runaway machine as the next one?"
2789Was n''t it ridiculous to see the ram positively driving the car?
2789Was n''t she a girl, though?
2789Was n''t that Daisy?
2789Was she buying a new novel to read en route?
2789Was that roaring in her ears just awakened nerves?
2789Was there anything he might not do?
2789Were you going to Aunt Salvey''s?"
2789What did you ever do with the junk?"
2789What do you imagine our little girls are thinking and doing about now?"
2789What else do you expect young ladies to observe?
2789What for?
2789What girl at Springsley does n''t know her?
2789What has happened to Paul?"
2789What have I done?"
2789What he might do?
2789What is dearer to the real girl than a real secret-- when the keeping of it involves further delights in its development?
2789What more should be told?
2789What motive have those who brought up this alleged case?
2789What on earth do you suppose Walter will do with that ram?"
2789What shall we do?"
2789What time is it?"
2789What would any one think of such a procession?
2789What''s the matter with you fellows, anyhow?
2789What''s the real truth?"
2789What-- happened?"
2789Whatever will my little brown Wren think of me?"
2789Where and who was the unfortunate driver?
2789Where are you?
2789Where can he be?"
2789Where did you last have it?"
2789Where is Clip?
2789Where is Wren?"
2789Where on earth would I get seventy- five cents to go to Europe with?"
2789Who could be at the back of the defaming scheme to spread the report?
2789Who could have been so careless as to leave an unlighted auto in the roadway, and night coming on?
2789Who could have dared to say that he was in league with whoever took those papers from the mailbag?
2789Who ever heard of such a thing?
2789Who would it be?
2789Why could n''t Cora just run in to Chelton herself with Duncan?
2789Why could she never hide her feelings about Jack and Clip?
2789Why did n''t you ask to whom it did belong?"
2789Why is a storm in the afternoon of such consequence?"
2789Why should he lose so much?
2789Why should she stop at the thought of propriety?
2789Why should she think of Jack and Clip and Wren when she was captain of the Motor Girls''Club, and they expected a good time on their initial run?
2789Will you be able to come?"
2789Will you have time to wait?"
2789Wo n''t you step in?"
2789Would he again molest her?
2789Would it be too much trouble for him just to call?
2789Would you call it a joke to have two masked men jump in front of a running car, and flash something shiny?
2789Would you like to sell that ram?"
2789Would you trust me to get the Whirlwind in the shed safely?"
2789she managed to say;"do you think boys of their caliber would tamper with the mail?
2172Admitting all this, what do you propose?
2172Ah, so? 2172 And I?"
2172And do you think Edith Thornton will marry a penniless beggar, a pauper? 2172 And for this, you expect-- what?"
2172And her son?
2172And his family, what of them?
2172And if you should fail,she queried, slowly,"would you give me no opportunity to show you, and others, my confidence in you, even then?"
2172And that look; where have I seen it? 2172 And the third name, is that the signature of this man, Richard Hobson?"
2172And then will you gentlemen be ready to start for home?
2172And these keys, do you recognize them?
2172And those are what?
2172And what compensation would you demand for''assisting''me?
2172And what do you propose to do?
2172And which course would you pursue in that event?
2172And you have neither seen that will, nor heard it read until this morning?
2172And you were paid for keeping silent as to the existence of such a will, were you not?
2172And your friend wishes to sell them?
2172Any new developments in the Mainwaring case?
2172Anything new developed?
2172Anything wrong, Mr. Whitney? 2172 Are these additional reasons founded on your own personal knowledge, or on the information of others?"
2172Are you aware, sir, that, with the exception of her maid, you are probably the last person who saw Mrs. LaGrange living?
2172Are you confident that she spoke the truth?
2172Are you familiar with the letter written by Harold Mainwaring to his son?
2172Are you not connected with the Mainwaring family?
2172Are you one of the servants here?
2172Are you positive that this is the will drawn up on the night of which you speak?
2172Are you positive there was no one else in those rooms at that time?
2172Are you sure these were the same two men you had seen earlier in the day?
2172At Mrs. LaGrange''s request?
2172At what hour was Mr. Mainwaring last seen by any one in this house?
2172At what hour was this?
2172At what hour was this?
2172At what time did the latter appear?
2172At what time did you lock the rooms?
2172At what time did you retire?
2172At what time this morning did you discover what had occurred?
2172At what time was this?
2172At what time, if you please, sir?
2172At what time? 2172 Barton& Barton?
2172Before I heard of the murder? 2172 Before or after the tidings of my father''s death?"
2172Beg pardon, Mr. Whitney, but I believe the coroner and others have arrived; as you know the gentlemen, will you kindly meet them?
2172But had that elder brother no issue?
2172But how came he at the club? 2172 But how does this Merrick know you?"
2172But how has he heard of you?
2172But to what other motive would you attribute it?
2172But what could have been Mr. Merrick''s object in shadowing you?
2172But who could have done such a deed?
2172But you still love me?
2172By whom was it drawn?
2172Can any of you gentlemen tell me whether or not this belonged to the deceased?
2172Can it be possible that he is concerned in this?
2172Can not you understand what I need most? 2172 Can you describe his appearance?"
2172Can you describe the person who accompanied him?
2172Can you describe this man''s appearance?
2172Can you produce the certificate of this marriage?
2172Can you repeat her words as you heard them?
2172Can you state about what time you heard this conversation?
2172Can you state whether any one was in his rooms after you left?
2172Can you state whether or not he left his room within the next half- hour?
2172Can you tell how many, or what kind of looking men were with Brown on Wednesday night?
2172Could n''t you see what he threw?
2172Could she open the safe?
2172Could you describe the man, Uncle Mose?
2172Could you not forget?
2172Cousin Hugh has never married,--which is a very good thing for us, by the way,--and who would help him entertain if his housekeeper did not?
2172Diamond brokers, eh? 2172 Did I make any such allegation?"
2172Did Mr. Mainwaring carry a handkerchief of that style?
2172Did Mr. Mainwaring know of your discovery?
2172Did Mr. Mainwaring make no reply?
2172Did Mr. Mainwaring see you at any of these times?
2172Did any strangers call at Fair Oaks Wednesday aside from those mentioned yesterday?
2172Did he have on dark glasses that day?
2172Did he leave for the city that night, or did he remain with you at the Riverside Hotel?
2172Did he leave his name or address?
2172Did he not accompany you from the hotel to Fair Oaks?
2172Did he state his errand?
2172Did he state his errand?
2172Did it contain anything of great value?
2172Did n''t he look at all like the first man?
2172Did she give any reason for such instructions?
2172Did there seem to be any coldness or unpleasantness between them?
2172Did this''gossip''that you speak of have any bearing on what has since occurred?
2172Did you admit Hobson when he called in the evening?
2172Did you and he meet?
2172Did you believe the will to be in existence?
2172Did you deliver the note?
2172Did you discover the document accidentally, or after special search for it?
2172Did you ever speak to any one of this will?
2172Did you go directly to your room?
2172Did you go in to see him at that time?
2172Did you have any stated time for doing this?
2172Did you hear any unusual sound after reaching your room?
2172Did you hear any unusual sound afterwards?
2172Did you hear anything that was said?
2172Did you in any room?
2172Did you know any cause for such depression?
2172Did you meet any one else?
2172Did you notice anything unusual in his appearance at any time yesterday?
2172Did you notice anything unusual in his rooms?
2172Did you or did you not?
2172Did you see Mr. Mainwaring during the day or evening?
2172Did you see Mr. Scott leave the library?
2172Did you see Mr. Scott the day or evening preceding Mr. Mainwaring''s death?
2172Did you see Walter LaGrange at any time during yesterday forenoon?
2172Did you see any strangers about the place at that time?
2172Did you see either of the strangers who called that day?
2172Did you see him when you called at Fair Oaks, Wednesday,--either morning or evening?
2172Did you see or hear anything unusual about the place at any time last night?
2172Did you see the coachman at that time?
2172Did you see the gentleman who came up- stairs later?
2172Did you unlock the library doors this morning?
2172Did you watch him last night?
2172Do I understand you, then, that those letters, Mr. Mainwaring''s included, would not be regarded as proof?
2172Do n''t anticipate any difficulty, do you?
2172Do n''t you think that this tends to show that the murder and robbery were connected, notwithstanding Mr. Whitney''s theories to the contrary?
2172Do you acknowledge these letters to be of your writing?
2172Do you consider your conduct becoming towards a mother who is risking everything for you and your interests?
2172Do you intend to give up the game?
2172Do you know at what hour they left?
2172Do you know how he first heard of it?
2172Do you know what, if any, relations existed between Mr. Mainwaring and this Hobson?
2172Do you know when he returned?
2172Do you know whether he called more than once?
2172Do you know, Mr. Scott, whether any one beside yourself understood the combination of the safe?
2172Do you mean to say that it is a trait of the entire Mainwaring family, or only of this branch in particular?
2172Do you mean to say that the reappearance of the missing secretary as the heir to the Mainwaring estate is no surprise to you?
2172Do you mean to say that the statement of the witness was wholly without truth?
2172Do you mean to tell me that you believe, for one moment, in this balderdash?
2172Do you positively identify that man as the writer of this will?
2172Do you recognize the document just read in your hearing as anything which you have heard before?
2172Do you refer to the mark of which Mr. Whitney has just spoken?
2172Do you return so soon?
2172Do you then identify this as Hugh Mainwaring?
2172Do you then, finally and once for all, refuse any and all offers of assistance from me?
2172Do you think I would fear suspicion? 2172 Do you think so?"
2172Do you think that either Ralph Mainwaring or Mr. Thornton would care enough for any secrets you might be able to disclose to pay you hush money?
2172Do you wish me to help you pecuniarily? 2172 Doctor,"inquired Ralph Mainwaring,"in your opinion, how long has life been extinct?"
2172Drawing himself up to his full height, his eyes blazing, he answered in low tones,''Dare you apply those epithets to me, usurper that you are? 2172 During that time you have held the position of valet?"
2172For how long a time were you associated together?
2172Give up? 2172 Going to be at liberty for some time?"
2172Had he any intention of meeting Mr. Mainwaring later?
2172Had not Hugh Mainwaring an elder brother?
2172Had there been any words Wednesday between Mr. Mainwaring and the coachman?
2172Had you been to the house that morning?
2172Had you locked the door into the main hall?
2172Harold Scott Mainwaring under surveillance? 2172 Has it not occurred to you that there are not two people in existence who can so quickly tear to shreds the scheme of this impostor as you and I?
2172Has your experience of the last few days made you so cynical as that?
2172Have you absolute proof of that?
2172Have you any further direct evidence which you can produce in support of the identity of the claimant?
2172Have you any roomers at present?
2172Have you anything to say in reference to the testimony just given?
2172Have you been for some time in his employ?
2172Have you ever seen it since?
2172Have you seen anything of him since he left us?
2172Have you that certificate now?
2172Have you, during all these years, had any knowledge that the will you drew under the circumstances already mentioned was still in existence?
2172He called at Fair Oaks yesterday, did he not?
2172He is your clerk and in your employ, is he not?
2172He was alone at that time?
2172He was away from home part of the time, was he not?
2172He was perfectly sober, was he not?
2172He? 2172 His twin brother, Harold Scott Mainwaring?"
2172How about that will business, Mr. Whitney? 2172 How and when was it discovered?"
2172How are you and the coachman coming on?
2172How are you getting on?
2172How could that be?
2172How did he appear?
2172How did it happen that you were not at the inquest?
2172How did the servants gain any knowledge of this will?
2172How did you hear of Mr. Mainwaring''s death?
2172How did you make out?
2172How do you know the library was locked?
2172How do you know this?
2172How is it that you and Walter bear the name of LaGrange?
2172How is that? 2172 How is that?"
2172How is that?
2172How is that?
2172How long a time elapsed between the birth of this child and the death of Harold Mainwaring, the father?
2172How long ago was that?
2172How long did Mr. Mainwaring live afterwards?
2172How long were they there?
2172How long were you there?
2172How recently had this man Hobson extorted money from Mr. Mainwaring, and in what amount?
2172How was Hobson to secure for you your rights from Hugh Mainwaring?
2172How was that?
2172How was that?
2172How was this, Hardy?
2172How''s that, Thornton? 2172 How, then, was this man employed to draw the will?"
2172I heard him say,''Who was that I passed outside, Jim?'' 2172 I noticed you were looking over the evening papers, did you read the account of this morning''s proceedings in court?"
2172I say, Scott, wo n''t you come out and have a smoke? 2172 I say, my dear Mainwaring, are you aware that your esteemed kinsman has you under strict surveillance?"
2172I see what a powerful witness old Wilson will make; but the detective, what will you do with him?
2172I suppose you read of the arrest of Brown, the coachman?
2172I think that is the man I have in mind; will you describe him?
2172If I have not attempted anything of that kind in the past, would I be likely to try it at this late day?
2172If I was Hugh Mainwaring''s son, why have I not borne his name? 2172 If he can not get possession of the property in any other way, he will send the new heir to the gallows, eh?"
2172In what business were you engaged?
2172In what one?
2172In which direction did he then go?
2172In which room were you?
2172Is Mr. Merrick a detective?
2172Is he here this evening?
2172Is he there?
2172Is it possible,he soliloquized,"that that creature is on my track and has any proposition to make to me?
2172Is that all you know about the affair?
2172It is now half after nine; in your judgment, then, this must have occurred about one o''clock this morning?
2172It is to be a fight, then, is it?
2172It was in your possession during the following evening and night?
2172It will help you-- what I have told you-- will it not?
2172J. D. Lovering, 545 Jefferson Street; is n''t this 545, madam?
2172J. Ponsonby Roget, Queen''s Counsel? 2172 Mannering,"he repeated, thoughtfully, once more facing her;"I wonder if I am not mistaken in the name?
2172Mannering?
2172May I ask why?
2172May I have your permission to examine the list of cabin passengers?
2172May I see that for one moment?
2172Meet, sir? 2172 Merrick, are you sure of that?"
2172Met him here, in my house? 2172 Might he not have discovered in some way that you had found the will?"
2172Miss Carleton,--Winifred,--how can you ask? 2172 Mr. Higgenbotham, do you recognize the young gentleman who has just given his testimony?"
2172Mr. Hobson''s call occasioned considerable comment at luncheon, did it not?
2172Mr. Hobson, why was this will not make public following Mr. Mainwaring''s death and burial?
2172Mr. Hobson, will you describe the man who accompanied you when you called in the evening, Wednesday?
2172Mr. Mainwaring, I believe you are familiar with the will just read, are you not?
2172Mr. Mainwaring, is your father in?
2172Mr. Mainwaring,said Mr. Sutherland at length,"do you know the dead man?"
2172Mr. Mainwaring,said the attorney,"are you willing to state the reasons for such an extraordinary proceeding on his part?"
2172Mr. Scott, did you ever hear of the existence of this will?
2172Mr. Scott, you are the foster- father of Harold Scott Mainwaring who has just preceded you upon the witness stand, are you not?
2172Mr. Scott,resumed the coroner,"were you in Mr. Mainwaring''s private library at any time during last evening?"
2172Mr. Scott,said the coroner,"what were the relations existing between Mr. Mainwaring and yourself up to the time of his death?"
2172Mr. Whitney, what is your opinion of Mrs. LaGrange''s story of a private marriage?
2172Mr. Whitney,said Miss Carleton, in a low tone,"did you ever observe a resemblance at times between Mr. Scott and your friend, Mr. Hugh Mainwaring?"
2172Mrs. LaGrange told you this?
2172No one else? 2172 No strangers, you mean?
2172No trouble, no unpleasant words, I hope?
2172No, I can not believe that of Hugh Mainwaring,the attorney replied, loyally; then added,"What became of the brother, Miss Carleton?"
2172No? 2172 Not last Friday evening?"
2172On July 7 last?
2172On what grounds, sir, do you base your opinion?
2172Regarding one Richard Hobson?
2172Say, what are you''doing''him for?
2172Say, what will you do about him? 2172 She saw you, of course?"
2172Should we not send for a detective at once?
2172Since his resignation of the salary as well as the position of private''secretary?
2172Something has upset Merrick,he soliloquized, as he finally turned towards the entrance;"who can he imagine is''dogging''his tracks, as he terms it?
2172State the circumstances under which this will was drawn; was Mr. Mainwaring influenced by any one to make it?
2172Struck a new trail, eh?
2172Surely you do not anticipate any difficulty in establishing your claim?
2172Sutherland, how is this?
2172Tell me,he demanded in low, hoarse tones,"is it true that I am-- what she once said and what report is now saying-- the son of Hugh Mainwaring?"
2172That is a good omen,Mr. Barton replied cheerfully;"but may I inquire to what you refer?"
2172That is to the point; but how will you accomplish it?
2172That was the day on which you, acting as Hugh Mainwaring''s secretary, had drawn, at his dictation, his last will and testament, was it not?
2172The coachman? 2172 The ones the valet said were missing?"
2172The will? 2172 Then am I to understand,"demanded the other, angrily,"that you intend to go against me in this matter?"
2172Then you know that will to be genuine, do you?
2172Then you were not married to Hugh Mainwaring in England, as you testified at the inquest?
2172Then, under your mother''s orders, you went to the city on your second trip, did you not?
2172Thus conscience does make cowards of us all?''
2172To find Hugh Mainwaring?
2172To whom do you refer?
2172To whom?
2172Twelve? 2172 Very well, Mr. Higgenbotham, will you now please state when, and under what circumstances, you saw this young gentleman?"
2172Walter LaGrange, what do you mean? 2172 Was Hugh Mainwaring ever married?"
2172Was Mr. Scott already up when Mr. Whitney called him?
2172Was Richard Hobson at the Arlington?
2172Was he alone when he called the second time?
2172Was he in this room?
2172Was he not at Fair Oaks?
2172Was his treacherous brother so much more successful then in that direction than he?
2172Was that her only object in coming to your room?
2172Was that the last time you saw Mr. Mainwaring living?
2172Was that the time at which you went to your room?
2172Was the locking of his rooms usually included among your duties at night?
2172Was the money which you were forced to raise by the sale of these jewels to be paid to Hobson?
2172Was the voice of the second speaker familiar to you?
2172Was there any one in his rooms?
2172Was there ever any private marriage?
2172Was your last interview with Mr. Mainwaring of a friendly nature?
2172Well, Mac,said Mr. Barton, tentatively,"are you ready to go to work now?"
2172Well, Uncle Mose, you have been employed at Fair Oaks for a long time, have n''t you?
2172Well, it is past three, we must hasten; you found nothing more?
2172Well, my friend, what do you know?
2172Well, now, does n''t that seem a little peculiar, when, with no direct heirs that we know of, the property would in any case revert to your family?
2172Well, supposing you were, what would you do in this case?
2172Well, you see how it is yourself, Mainwaring: what is a fellow to do? 2172 Well,"continued Mr. Thornton, after a pause,"have you the remotest idea as to who these possible claimants against the property may be?"
2172Well,said his interlocutor,"you''re not looking for''em out here, are you?"
2172Well?
2172Were there ever any unpleasant words passed between you?
2172Were there no heirs left?
2172Were you able to recognize the voices or hear any of the conversation?
2172Were you acquainted with the Harold Scott Mainwaring mentioned in this will?
2172Were you successful in finding Mr. Hobson there?
2172Were you up- stairs soon after the alarm was given?
2172What affair, the Mainwaring murder? 2172 What barrier could ever exist between you and me?"
2172What did he pick up from the ground?
2172What did you hear?
2172What did you learn?
2172What did you mean by stating that you first heard of Mr. Mainwaring''s death from the gardener, when the reverse was the truth?
2172What did you say?
2172What did you then do with it?
2172What did you then do?
2172What do you know about this Brown?
2172What do you know of the affair?
2172What do you mean by designating it as''the distinguishing mark between them''?
2172What do you think of that, my dear sir? 2172 What do you think of that?"
2172What do you think of them?
2172What does your friend expect for these?
2172What is going on? 2172 What is this, gentlemen?"
2172What lake do you mean?
2172What reason? 2172 What reply did he make?"
2172What right had they to blight and ruin my life? 2172 What the deuce is he doing in this country?"
2172What time was this, Uncle Mose?
2172What time was this?
2172What was done with the will?
2172What was his name?
2172What was the meaning of your threat to Mr. Mainwaring, that you would make him and his friends regret the day''s proceedings?
2172What was the nature of the conversation which you heard?
2172What will you give for them?
2172What, Harold? 2172 When did he go to the city?"
2172When did he go?
2172When did he return?
2172When did you arrive, Merrick? 2172 When did you last see Mr. Hugh Mainwaring?"
2172When did you last see him, regardless of whether you spoke to him or not?
2172When did you last see him?
2172When did you learn of this?
2172When did you see him last?
2172When do you expect to see your agent again?
2172Where are the beneficiaries of that will that was destroyed?
2172Where did you finally find the will?
2172Where did you find this?
2172Where did you get this rusty thing? 2172 Where is he at present?"
2172Where was that?
2172Where were you born?
2172Where were you last Wednesday night?
2172Where would you be to- night?
2172Who else was present?
2172Who had keys to fit these locks?
2172Who in the devil are you, anyway?
2172Who was in the library at that time?
2172Who was the first person whom you met and told of your discovery?
2172Who would think of such a thing?
2172Why are you making such a stranger of yourself; Hugh? 2172 Why did you not mention that?"
2172Why did you not produce it in the first place?
2172Why do you think he was fast?
2172Why not here as well as anywhere? 2172 Why should n''t she, mamma?"
2172Why so, Miss Carleton, if you please?
2172Why so?
2172Why, are you prepared to head him off in that direction? 2172 Why?
2172Will that statement be of any assistance to you, do you think?
2172Will you describe the appearance of Mr. Hobson''s clerk?
2172Will you describe the strangers who were here, stating when they called and any particulars you are able to give?
2172Will you explain how the fact of your existence has been kept concealed all these years?
2172Will you inform me, Mr. Scott, of the earliest hour at which I can see Mr. Mainwaring? 2172 Will you state how long you were in his employ, and in what capacity?"
2172Will you state the circumstances under which you became his foster- parent?
2172Will you state the name of this man?
2172Will you state the nature of this business?
2172Will you state the nature of this errand?
2172Will you state the nature of those remarks?
2172Will you state what proof of identification you can give in this instance that was not present in the other?
2172Winifred,said Miss Thornton, as they were leaving the dining- saloon,"do you see that young Englishman at the farther table?"
2172Would it contribute to my happiness, do you think, to remember the sorrow and suffering which I was not allowed to share?
2172Would it not be well to see if it is still there?
2172Would you deny that such a will ever existed in face of whatever evidence may be brought forward in its support? 2172 Yes, I know the old gentleman disinherited Harold, but would his heirs have no claim?"
2172Yes; do you know him?
2172You acknowledge this, then, as the will which you wrote at the dictation of Ralph Maxwell Mainwaring the night before his death?
2172You are Mr. Ralph Mainwaring''s valet, I believe?
2172You are familiar with it then?
2172You are not then troubled with any unpleasant superstitions regarding the making of a will?
2172You are then acquainted with this Hobson?
2172You are, I believe, familiar with the Mainwaring jewels which are now missing?
2172You bought it in this country, then? 2172 You can give no further information regarding this will, now missing?"
2172You can then vouch for its genuineness?
2172You did not try to call any one?
2172You do not think that suspicion will be directed against any of the guests at Fair Oaks, do you?
2172You evidently have your suspicions,remarked Mr. Mainwaring, while Mr. Thornton inquired,--"Had our cousin any enemies that you know of?"
2172You expect to win in the end, however?
2172You had other business in the city aside from meeting him, had you not?
2172You have been kept informed of his search for the will and of its final discovery?
2172You have corresponded with, him, however, in that time?
2172You have noticed it, then? 2172 You have remembered it all these years?"
2172You have told no one else what you have just told me?
2172You knew nothing of what had occurred at the house until the gardener told you in the morning?
2172You locked the rooms as usual last night?
2172You mean he was fast?
2172You noticed nothing unusual in his appearance?
2172You obtained your knowledge originally from other sources than Mr. Mainwaring''s correspondence, did you not?
2172You remember the form, terms, and conditions of the document drawn by yourself on that occasion?
2172You saw her leave the library?
2172You saw no one in any of Mr. Mainwaring''s private rooms?
2172You saw or heard nothing more?
2172You say he married; did he leave any children?
2172You say that you were privately married, and that in all these years Mr. Mainwaring never acknowledged you as his wife?
2172You say,continued the latter,"you thought you smelled something burning; could you state what the material seemed to be?"
2172You say,said the coroner,"that at Mr. Whitney''s request you remained in the upper hall, near the library and within call?"
2172You surely do not intend to dispute his identity after the unmistakable proofs submitted?
2172You took care of his rooms as usual Wednesday?
2172You went into the library as soon as he was alone?
2172You were about the grounds as usual Wednesday, were you not?
2172You were an accessory in that affair, and you can not deny it?
2172You were associated with Mr. Mainwaring yesterday during the greater part of the day and evening, were you not?
2172You were personally acquainted with the late Hugh Mainwaring, I believe?
2172You were present during the drawing up of the will?
2172You will let me help you, and you will be a son to me, will you not?
2172You would say that death was instantaneous?
2172Your contract, then, was a verbal one?
2172''What friends are you entertaining here in these quarters?''
2172Addressing the attorney in no very pleasant tone, he demanded,"Well, sir, what do you now propose to do about this matter?"
2172After a few preliminary questions, the coroner said,--"At what time, and from whom, did you first hear of Mr. Mainwaring''s death?"
2172After summoning Mr. Whitney, did you call any other members of the household?"
2172An''I says to myse''f,''Mose, yoh ole fool, what you stan''in''heah foh?
2172And if so, what?"
2172And that reminds me, gentlemen,"he added,"do any of you happen to know a man by the name of Mannering, who is interested in mines out here?"
2172And you heard her accuse him of being an accessory?
2172Are you a good sailor?"
2172Are you speaking the truth?"
2172As the valet again came forward, Dr. Westlake asked,"Were you able to learn anything concerning the strangers who were here yesterday?"
2172At the sound of his voice she seemed somewhat reassured, and advancing a few steps towards him, she repeated his words,--"Why did I send for you?
2172Bime''by I see''i m gwine back again on de oder side ob de street-""Was he alone?"
2172But I thought''twas mighty queer-""Mr. Scott was dressed, was he?"
2172But how about your son, Walter; do you not love him?"
2172But if this were indeed his name, what had been his object in assuming the role of Scott, the secretary?
2172But what was the statement of such importance which she was to make?"
2172But where will I find it?"
2172But why do you speak as though there were a possibility of defeat or failure?
2172But, if I may ask, why do n''t you bag your game?"
2172By the way, did Walter go with the others, or did he remain at home?"
2172By the way, sir, have I met you at the Clifton?
2172By whom?
2172Can it be simply from association?"
2172Carruthers?"
2172Correct, I presume?"
2172Did he throw anything into the lake?
2172Did you have any difficulty in securing a postponement until the next term?"
2172Did you have something indigestible for luncheon?"
2172Did you recognize me?"
2172Do n''t you think so?"
2172Do you also travel?"
2172Do you consider Mrs. LaGrange or Hobson capable of planning and carrying out an affair so adroitly as that?"
2172Do you dare insinuate to your own mother-""Why do n''t you call me Walter Mainwaring?"
2172Do you know him?"
2172Do you know what Ralph Mainwaring will attempt next?
2172Do you know what you are saying?
2172Do you know whether any one else in the house had knowledge of or access to, these particular keys?"
2172Do you mean to say that he went over on the same boat with Miss-- with the ladies from Fair Oaks?"
2172Do you remain here long?"
2172Do you think Hobson took them?"
2172Do you want to know,''says he,''who you''ve been entertaining?''
2172For an instant an almost painful silence ensued, until Dr. Westlake said,--"Will you state your relation to the deceased?"
2172Going to the city?"
2172Had Hugh Mainwaring a brother?"
2172Had he really a brother?"
2172Half a score of questions were instantly raised:"Was there a large amount of money in the safe?"
2172Harold Mainwaring repeated, astonished, while Mr. Barton demanded,"What do you mean, Mac?"
2172Harold repeated in astonishment;"how did it come into your possession?"
2172Has he ever reminded you of any one?
2172Have you any knowledge concerning that will,--its terms or conditions, or the names of the testator or beneficiaries?"
2172Have you seen this remarkable individual?"
2172Have you struck the trail?"
2172He''s all right, is n''t he?"
2172Hobson started, and inquired quickly,"Are you familiar with English law?"
2172How are the ladies?
2172How did you discover he was an Englishman?"
2172How do you find business in your line?"
2172How is it, Edith?
2172How''s the case coming on, sir?"
2172Hugh and Edith Thornton?"
2172I am proud of him as my own flesh and blood, but love him?
2172I an impostor?
2172I knew of the marked resemblance between them, and at once questioned, How had that interview ended?
2172I suppose you are familiar with all the letters that passed on both sides?"
2172Is he a guest of your house?"
2172Is he another Hobson?"
2172Is he stopping there?"
2172It could not have been otherwise?"
2172It read,--"Have you met J. Henry Carruthers, of London, supposed to have sailed ten days since, or can you give us his whereabouts?"
2172LaGrange?"
2172Mainwaring?"
2172Mainwaring?"
2172Mainwaring?"
2172Mainwaring?"
2172Mainwaring?"
2172Mainwaring?"
2172Mainwaring?"
2172Mainwaring?"
2172Mainwaring?"
2172Mainwaring?"
2172Mainwaring?"
2172Mainwaring?"
2172Mainwaring?"
2172Mainwaring?"
2172Mannering?"
2172May I ask when and where you found it?"
2172May I be the first to congratulate you?"
2172May I inquire your business, sir?
2172McPherson''s writing I know, and you mark that blot after his name?
2172Merrick?"
2172Mr. Johnson nodded, but before he could reply, another in the group remarked,"Oh, that''s the fellow you mean, is it?
2172Mr. Mainwaring quickly recovered himself and replied, deliberately,"Richard Hobson, the attorney?
2172Mr. Mainwaring, have you, during this time, received any clue regarding the identity of your mother, or is that still unknown to you?"
2172Mr. Rosenbaum exclaimed;"why then are you wasting time with these?"
2172Mr. Scott, will you once more open Mr. Mainwaring''s desk for us and take out the will that was deposited there yesterday?"
2172Mr. Thornton, will you and the young ladies accompany us, or do you prefer to remain in exile a while longer?"
2172My dear lady, what do you think of this new turn of affairs?"
2172Now there is my theory of this whole affair; what do you think of it?"
2172Now, sir, do you mean to tell me, in the face of all this, that Barton& Barton are retained by this mushroom claimant, whoever he is?
2172Now, the point is just this, Mr. Scott: What do you really know concerning the transaction referred to in that correspondence?
2172Now, the question is, where do we come in?
2172Now, what does she do?
2172Or do you propose to live upon her fortune?"
2172Or should he hold it for a few days and await developments?
2172Or, is he afraid that I know his secret, and that I may deprive him of his hold upon the Mainwarings?
2172Rosenbaum?"
2172Scott?"
2172Scott?"
2172Shall we have a stormy passage, do you think?"
2172Shall you watch him?"
2172Should he let his employer know at once of the proof which he now held against him?
2172Should he not be present?"
2172Should he open that?
2172Stopping at the cashier''s desk, he said in a low tone,"I expect some friends later, and do n''t wish to be disturbed till they come; understand?"
2172That is, can you recall any one whom he resembles?"
2172Then added, gently,"Would, it be strong enough to stand a far heavier strain than that, if it were necessary?"
2172There was a pause, and she added,"And did he never speak to you, his intimate friend, of his brother?"
2172Think it will be rough?"
2172Think you a mother would have no desire to see her own son after long years of cruel separation from him?"
2172This is your return for my care and forethought for you, is it?
2172To the question,"Where were you born?"
2172Was it in the lake, also?"
2172Was that Carroll or Carruthers?
2172Was that all you saw?"
2172Well, I should say these were of value; where did you find them?"
2172Well, then, who in the dickens do you think he resembles?"
2172Were there no physicians present?"
2172Westlake?"
2172What about the jewels?
2172What could it mean?
2172What did it mean?
2172What do you know of that affair?"
2172What do you say, Winifred?"
2172What do you say, my young friend?"
2172What do you think of that young man, anyway?
2172What do you think of that?"
2172What do you think of this?"
2172What do you think, Mainwaring?
2172What do you want?"
2172What does it mean?
2172What have you been doing?
2172What have you to say?"
2172What is your opinion now, Mr. Whitney, regarding a robbery in connection with this case?"
2172What luck to- night?"
2172What of him?"
2172What right had they to live as they did, and let the stigma, the shame, the curse of it all fall on me?
2172What should be done with it?
2172What would her answer have been?
2172What''s the excitement?"
2172What''s the matter?
2172What''s your line?"
2172When will that come off?"
2172Whether we were friends, or refused to recognize one another, their small talk and gossip would flow on forever, so why attempt to check it?"
2172Which was genuine and which assumed?
2172Whitney?"
2172Whitney?"
2172Whitney?"
2172Who are you?"
2172Who could tell?
2172Who was the man that Brown saw standing beside the lake just before three o''clock in the morning, and what was he doing?
2172Who was the murdered man?
2172Who was the murderer?
2172Why could you not have said as much before?
2172Why did he not recognize me as such?
2172Why did you send for me?
2172Why do you ask?"
2172Why do you inquire?"
2172Why do you think that?"
2172Why may you not expect to match it here?"
2172Why should I not send for you?
2172Why?
2172Would not his use of such terms imply that he was addressing one whom he considered a stranger and unacquainted with the facts in the case?"
2172Would such a man, when his schemes were finally matured, have any scruples about taking the life of the one who stood in the way of their fulfilment?"
2172You and I were distantly related to Hugh Mainwaring, but what chance would we have against these people with no more of a claim than ours?
2172You are, I suppose, aware that there was a missing will involved in the case?"
2172You represent this firm, I suppose; you are their salesman?"
2172You surely do not think it possible that in his mind she is in any way associated with this murder-- if it is a murder?"
2172am I on the witness stand?"
2172and I?
2172and from what point of the compass?"
2172and how is my old friend Thornton?"
2172and how long are you going to be in town?"
2172and where?"
2172and who were they?"
2172anything missing?"
2172are you mad?"
2172can it be possible?"
2172ejaculated young Mainwaring, while his father exclaimed, impatiently,--"Barton& Barton?
2172exclaimed Mr. Barton, presently, glancing at his watch;"what in the deuce is keeping that fellow so late?
2172exclaimed Mrs. Mainwaring, addressing her husband;"do you and Hugh intend to remain here all that time?"
2172he said, with mocking emphasis,''who is the impostor now?''
2172how are you?
2172is this murder or suicide?"
2172of what avail would be any plea of mine in the face of such damning evidence?
2172or would you admit being a party to the destruction of the will?"
2172retorted Miss Carleton;"are you already counting the years before Mr. Mainwaring''s death?"
2172said Mr. Thornton, after a moment''s silence;"he was the elder son, was he not?"
2172she cried,"where would you have been all these years, if I had but exposed your dishonesty and duplicity?
2172she exclaimed, smiling through her tears; then asked,"When and how did you learn the real facts?"
2172sir, but you surely do not think this deed was committed by any one of the inmates of this house?"
2172this rather confirms my theory about that woman getting possession of the jewels and hiring Brown to help her, does n''t it?"
2172until when?"
2172what do you mean?"
2172what does this mean?
2172what in the dickens are you driving at?
2172what was he prowling around there for?"
2172when and how did you get hold of all this?"
2172when did you learn that?"
2172why I thought he seemed rather an insignificant sort of a fellow; what do you know about him?"
2172why did you not give me this information earlier?"
2172you do n''t say that he was really concerned in that affair?"
30636''Annie, are you not entirely to blame for this? 30636 ''Annie, do you mean that you and Henry have separated?''
30636''Annie,''I asked, sorrowfully,''whose ring is that?'' 30636 ''But they know at the office where he went, do n''t they?''
30636''How long is it since you have heard from Henry?'' 30636 ''Well, Annie,''I said,''you are dressed to go out somewhere, are n''t you?
30636''What is the matter with her?'' 30636 ''Where away so fast?''
30636''Where did you get that ring, Annie?'' 30636 ''Who knows?''
30636''Why, do n''t you know that we had a quarrel several months ago?'' 30636 ''Why, mine, of course,''she replied;''have you never seen it before?''
30636Are you really my friend?
30636But can you tell me no more than this to- day?
30636But why do you think Annie would take it?
30636Can it be possible,I asked,"that your sister admitted that she had tried to poison you?"
30636Can you tell me no more now?
30636Captain, did you find the ring of any practical value at sea?
30636Certainly, certainly,said Andrews;"where shall I find them?"
30636Could you tell from their appearance whether George had done any work upon them that night?
30636Did any one beside you four gentlemen know this hiding place?
30636Did either of you see it?
30636Did n''t you see it? 30636 Did she not write a letter two days ago?"
30636Did the boy say whether Pattmore saw the grave- digger?
30636Did they show any marks of blood?
30636Did you succeed in learning anything from the hackman?
30636Did young Gordon have the keys to the vault?
30636Do n''t you see that man down the hill?
30636Do you know anything about his circumstances at that time? 30636 Does Annie write much?"
30636Does she correspond with Lucy?
30636Does the outer vault key open both doors?
30636Had any of them tried to borrow from the bank recently?
30636Had he any associates among the fast men and women of the place?
30636Has Miss Seaton been able to examine any of Mrs. Thayer''s trunks or bureau drawers?
30636Has the mail for the West closed yet?
30636Have you always had such bad fortune?
30636Her''devoted_ husband_,''eh? 30636 How did you come to murder George?"
30636How do you know that I ever looked for him?
30636How is it possible that these facts were never discovered before?
30636How long is it since you had this talk with Annie?
30636I saw nothing, Mr. Drysdale,said O''Fallon;"did you, Breed?"
30636I shall be very glad, indeed, to go; when shall we start?
30636I understood you to say that Mr. Flanders went no further than the private door with George; did he notice any one standing about when he came away?
30636I''m pretty well,he replied;"but have you heard the news?"
30636Is he a good workman?
30636Is it as long as that?
30636Is it long since he died?
30636Is it possible that he has so much influence as that?
30636Is it then true that my first husband is alive?
30636Is that so?
30636Is there anything I can do for you?
30636Is there anything I can do for you?
30636Mr. Pinkerton, I believe?
30636No, no, you are wrong,replied Mrs. Thayer, in trembling tones;"you are my brother, and why should I wish to injure you?"
30636No,answered the Captain;"but why do you ask?"
30636No; what news?
30636So he is writing a letter, is he?
30636The ghost, I say-- did neither of you see a horrible figure pass out of sight suddenly, toward the creek yonder?
30636Then this note, signed''Alexander P. Drysdale,''might have been pulled out of one of these packages?
30636Then what is the trouble between you and this woman?
30636Then, if he should do so, ca n''t you get two men who know how to handle a shovel quickly, to disinter it a second time?
30636There were no papers of any value used, then?
30636Wait here until I come back, will you?
30636Was he a dangerous looking fellow?
30636Was it necessary for George to open the safe that night, or could he have done his work without going into the vault at all?
30636Was it possible for any person to have entered the bank by force? 30636 Was no one ever suspected?"
30636Well, Captain, if you should give that ring to me, would it be equally prophetic in my hands?
30636Well, Knox, what news?
30636Well, Mr. Pinkerton, ca n''t you obtain possession of it in some way? 30636 Well, what of it?"
30636Were there any customers who were in the habit of coming in late?
30636Were there any papers missing besides the money?
30636Were there any strange men in or about the bank that day?
30636Were they long, sentimental and-- in short, were they to be classed under the head of love letters?
30636What are you going to do with me?
30636What are you talking about? 30636 What can have happened?"
30636What direction did he take?
30636What do you mean?
30636What does the doctor think?
30636What is the matter, Drysdale?
30636What is the matter?
30636What is the warrant for?
30636What is your plan?
30636What more do you want?
30636What motive did you have? 30636 What news?"
30636What the devil is the matter with you?
30636What would you know, my child?
30636When George gave up carrying the safe keys home with him, where did he leave them?
30636When did you arrive?
30636When shall we return?
30636Where is George Gordon? 30636 Where was he the afternoon previous to the murder?"
30636Who are you going with?
30636Who are you?
30636Who charges me? 30636 Who is this other man?"
30636Who told you this? 30636 Whom are you shouting at in such a savage way?"
30636Whom have you engaged for an usher?
30636Whose accounts shall we give you?
30636Why, how are you, Captain Sumner?
30636Why, how do you do, gentlemen?
30636Why, what in the devil has got into you, Drysdale?
30636Will you also deny that you buried the paper money in a grove near your house, on your plantation?
30636Wo n''t you walk in for a few minutes? 30636 Yes, Mr. Pinkerton,"said Mr. McGregor,"whom do you suspect?"
30636Yes, sir,I replied;"what can I do for you?"
30636Yes; do you expect to need them?
30636You think, however, that Patterson, Drysdale, Flanders, or Caruthers,_ might_ have known it?
30636You wish to know your destiny, do you?
30636''By the way,''I added,''was I right about that gentleman?''
30636''Where did he go?''
30636--"What does this mean?"
30636As the sheriff entered, Drysdale said:"How do you do, Mr. Ringwood?
30636As they strolled out, Andrews pointed to some blood and said:"Any one hurt in your house?"
30636Bannatine?"
30636Breed?"
30636But how is Mrs. Thayer?
30636By the way, Mr. Tomlinson, when do you expect the body to arrive?"
30636By the way, one question: had George drank anything at all during the day?"
30636By the way, what kind of books does Mrs. Thayer read?"
30636By the way, who was that gentleman that just passed?
30636By- the- by, there is a great fortune- teller in town; have you seen her advertisement?"
30636Calling him to one side, I said:"''George, is there anything more upon which I can advise you?''
30636Caruthers?"
30636Did you see him, Andrews?"
30636Do n''t you think I had better try to induce her to go home with me?
30636Do you intend to bring her to see me?"
30636Drysdale?"
30636Drysdale?"
30636Drysdale?"
30636Finally he caught Andrews by the hand and said:"Andrews, did n''t you see that horrible ghost?"
30636Finally she spoke in a weak voice, without looking at her brother:"Was it a fortune- teller who told you what you have just accused me of?"
30636Flanders?"
30636Gordon, what is the matter at the bank this morning?
30636Gordon?"
30636Gordon?"
30636Gordon?"
30636Gordon?"
30636Has anything gone wrong with you?"
30636Have you arranged it wholly to your own satisfaction?"
30636Have you no stings of conscience?
30636He looked at me keenly and said:"Do you mean to accuse Mr. Drysdale of murdering George Gordon?"
30636How can I get an inquest called?"
30636How can that be?
30636How do you think you would succeed as a fortune- teller?"
30636How has this man acquired such a terrible power over you as to make you forget your marriage vows and live a life of infamy with him?
30636How have you accomplished all this?
30636How long shall I live and be happy with my husband?"
30636I exclaimed,"is Mrs. Pattmore dying?
30636I havn''t seen you since your illness, Mr. Drysdale; wo n''t you come in and rest a while?"
30636I think it is time to arrest him; do n''t you?"
30636Is it so?"
30636Is she his enemy, or yours?
30636Is that satisfactory?"
30636Knox?"
30636Let me see; the last time I saw you was at a hotel in Buffalo, was n''t it?"
30636McGregor?"
30636Miss Seaton laughed pleasantly, and said:"So you were telling your fortune, were you?
30636Mrs. Thayer looked somewhat confused at first, but she gathered up the cards mechanically, and said:"I do n''t know how to tell my fortune; do you?"
30636Now, gentlemen, do you think you can read the testimony of these dumb witnesses?"
30636Oh, what shall I do?
30636Potter?"
30636Potter?"
30636Potter?"
30636She first said:"You can not deceive me; your husband is away at sea; is it not so?"
30636She has always loved you in secret, however, and now that her husband is dead--""Is that so?"
30636She nodded carelessly, with a''How d''ye do, John?''
30636Tell me-- did the ghost pass you?"
30636That is, were there any indications whatever, to show that the murderer might have possibly gained entrance during George''s absence at dinner?"
30636Thayer?"
30636The question frequently came into my mind: Are all the parties in their right minds?
30636Then, closing her eyes, Lucille broke out passionately and rapidly, like a person in a trance:"Why does she act so?
30636Then, stepping forward, he said, cordially:"Why, how are you?
30636Think you he will fear to do in the future what he has done in the past?
30636This was a lucky guess, for the clerk replied:"Havn''t you seen me since then?
30636Warne?"
30636Was anything done about it?"
30636Was he in need of money?"
30636Well, how did it come out?"
30636What did it look like?
30636What do you mean by''the ghost?''"
30636What do you seek to know?"
30636What do you think about it?"
30636What do you think of my witness, gentlemen?"
30636What is her disease?"
30636What is the matter with her?
30636What is the trouble?
30636What is their object?
30636What man are you talking about?
30636What reason have I given you for thinking so?"
30636What, then, was he doing?
30636When did she die?"
30636When did you come here?
30636When he wearies of you, have you any doubt that he will murder you_ as he has already murdered his wife_?"
30636When she had finished, I said:"Well, Mrs. Thayer, I suppose you are aware that you are not legally Pattmore''s wife?"
30636Where are your keys?"
30636Where is Mrs. Pattmore''s body now?"
30636Who are you, and where are you going?"
30636Who were George Gordon''s intimate friends?"
30636Why could I not introduce a fortune- teller to her, and thus learn all I wished to know?
30636Why do n''t you go down to New Orleans with Mr. Andrews?
30636Why do you seek my life?
30636Why, do you know, my dear sir, that he is one of the finest gentlemen, and one of the most honorable men in Atkinson?
30636Why, then, do you wish to poison me?
30636Why, what means this?"
30636Will you be ready to go out to my plantation next Monday?"
30636Will you please to name the hour when I can meet you to- morrow, to give you all the facts in the case?"
30636Wo n''t you go up with me while I get my fortune told, Miss Seaton?"
30636Would n''t you like me to go for a doctor?"
30636You are sure you saw no one?"
30636You may have heard of the dreadful manner in which young George Gordon was murdered?"
30636You will come back, wo n''t you?"
30636_ Are you sure that man loves you?_""Oh, yes; I am sure he does,"Mrs. Thayer replied, hastily.
30636did she?''
30636exclaimed Mrs. Thayer,"how could that woman have known that?
30636for God''s sake, tell me, do n''t you see it?"
30636has the Doctor ordered that horrid medicine again?
30636she asked, in a trembling voice;"can I rely upon what you say, and be sure that you will not take advantage of me?
30636so you are left here to watch me, are you?
30636what could have done it?"
30636what for?"
30636what shall I do?"
30636when his victim fell a bloody corpse at his feet,_ was_ every witness destroyed?
30647A little too much in the hands of the major states?
30647Ah, is the woman question, then, over in your country-- died out? 30647 And what, then, is Wilbraham''s explanation of the affair Chang?"
30647And where do the Sinn Feiners come in?
30647And who, if I may ask, is Mr. Henry Beechtree?
30647And who,said the acting- President meditatively to those round him( he was an acute, courteous, and gentle Chinaman),"is this Lo?
30647And why not?
30647Are we,he went on,"supposed to have spirited away, or even murdered, the missing delegates, may I ask?"
30647But who are they? 30647 Ca n''t the rest wait?"
30647Chi c''è?
30647Chi sa? 30647 Do you like Geneva?
30647Do you think the League will last?
30647Do you? 30647 E cosa fa tra questo bel giovanotto e quel Charles Wilbraham?"
30647Forgive me if it seems discourteous.... You know, then, of course, who that is, opposite?
30647Good Lord, you''re right.... What are you doing here, Beechtree? 30647 Got a story already?"
30647Hallo, what''s up?
30647How did they guess that the old lady was going to invite me in?
30647How do you do, Miss Montana? 30647 How do you know?"
30647I? 30647 Indeed?
30647Is Maxse visiting Geneva by any chance?
30647Is there a new woman? 30647 Know what?"
30647Might I hear these sinister facts?
30647Mr. Henry Beechtree?
30647My father was a native of Joliet, Ill. Are you acquainted with the Middle West?
30647Not done a get- away, you mean? 30647 Our only Lord B., or that Secretariat fellow?"
30647Rather capitalist in tendency, perhaps?
30647So I heard.... Are you a Catholic, Miss Longfellow?
30647That''s what widows are, is n''t it? 30647 The New Woman?"
30647The armament question?
30647The gold- fish? 30647 The woman question, sir?
30647Thought what?
30647Treats? 30647 Voul scendere, forse?"
30647Was n''t he suspended for heresy? 30647 Well,"said Henry, changing the subject,"if we''re both going out to lunch, ca n''t we lunch together?
30647What do you think can have happened to Svensen?
30647What interests them so much?
30647What then?
30647What''s the 8th?
30647Where is he now?
30647Where, you may demand of me,proceeded the President,"is M. Wilbraham now?
30647Which troubles you?
30647Which way did your plotters take, Beechtree? 30647 Which way, then?
30647Who is he?
30647Whom do they pitch on? 30647 Why so?"
30647Why, Mr. Beechtree, you do n''t suspect foul play, do you?
30647Will he come here?
30647Will there be treats?
30647You do n''t feel well?
30647You do n''t then agree that we should attempt a world- cosmogony? 30647 You have n''t,"he suggested,"notes of what has actually passed between Wilbraham and Kratzky on the subject?"
30647You have reason,he added,"to think badly of Mr. Wilbraham, I infer?"
30647You mean by Georgians those persons who are now flourishing under the sovereignty of King George the Fifth of England? 30647 You''re not a dog lover?"
30647_ What_,he demanded,"is being done with this last object?
30647("And who, if I may ask, is Mr. Henry Beechtree?")
30647("And why not?"
30647("Voul scendere, forse?")
30647..._ That_ would be a good Union motto, do n''t you think?
30647A further question arose: were women News to their own sex, or only to men?
30647A good haul.... Who saw him going into the Bergues?"
30647A ripe black fig, gaping to show its scarlet maw-- what could be more lovely, and more luscious to the palate?
30647After all, if the chap_ was_ a woman, whose concern was it but his own?
30647Among other things he is a Catholic convert; as to these we have already exchanged our views.... Do you know what I think?
30647An elderly English clergyman behind Henry tapped his shoulder with a pencil and said,"What paper do you represent?
30647And did Wilbraham and his criminal associates visit them from time to time with food and drink?
30647And for what purpose?
30647And how many more in Geneva knew of this trap- door and its secret?
30647And were men perhaps News to women?
30647And what about the Irish delegates?
30647And whom, precisely, are you tracking?"
30647And you yourself?"
30647And, knowing, had they not thought, when the recent troubles began, to explore these avenues?
30647And_ then_ where are you?
30647Are not their skirts too short, or their sleeves?
30647Are spinsters superfluous?
30647Are women so unlike men then?"
30647Are you, perhaps, a Roman Catholic?"
30647As he unbolted a side door, Henry said to him,"You know something about Signor Wilbraham, then?"
30647Beechtree?"
30647Beechtree?"
30647Beechtree?"
30647Beechtree?"
30647Beechtree?")
30647Behind those windows burnt who knew what of passion and of plot?
30647Besides, what has she done, the innocent?"
30647Both so true, are n''t they?
30647But for the moment might I be allowed to ask for a little personal explanation?
30647But is it, I wonder, enough to make one wonderful that one''s husband should disappear alive?
30647But the sensibility of gold- fish is not great, surely?
30647But what if man after man were to disappear?
30647But what on earth did they_ mean_ to do with me?
30647But who is to prove that, I ask you?
30647But who?
30647But why this curious insistence on the nation as a unit?
30647But your Georgians-- they too are a gifted generation, is it not so?"
30647Ca n''t you see all the little eyes lighting up?"
30647Can you not appeal to the police?"
30647Could any work be continued in such circumstances, in such an atmosphere?
30647Curdled blood, frozen marrow, unbeating heart... who first discovered that this is what occurs to these organs when fear assaults the brain?
30647Did it give on to a street, a courtyard, or a house?
30647Did the town authorities know?
30647Did they lurk, planning some evil, farther along the tunnel, just out of earshot?
30647Do you know him, then?"
30647Do you think the League will be moved somewhere else?
30647Does the topic interest you?"
30647Exist?
30647Familiar indeed, for was it not one of his own works?
30647Feet?
30647For what would be the use of getting rid of one man only, however prominent?
30647Fought to a finish, perhaps, with honours to the victorious sex?"
30647Had Dr. Chang, perhaps, been through, part of the way through, numbers 4 or 16 instead?)
30647Had Svensen a private enemy?
30647Had he not always said that Italians( unless it were Albanians) had done this thing?
30647Had he not joined the True Church to make sure of this ultimate rightness, and because it was fashionable just now?
30647Have physiologists said so, or is it a mere amateur guess at truth, another of the foolish things"they"say?
30647Have they a sense of humour, of honour, of direction?
30647Have they found him yet?
30647Have they, possibly, escaped, their evil work done?
30647Have we not been warned not to penetrate into the more squalid parts of the city by night?
30647He''s an Englishman, I assume, this friend of yours?"
30647He_ would_ make me ask you;... but at least we have your good wishes, Lord John, have n''t we?"
30647Heard the latest news?"
30647Henry tiptoed forward; should he follow?
30647How could it be that gifts go in generations?
30647How did_ you_ get into this rat- trap?
30647How many people knew that it was under- run by this so intricate tunnel system?
30647How old is the Château?"
30647How?"
30647I ask you, what would the League staff say of one of their members of which this should be revealed?
30647I do admire him, do n''t you?"
30647I hate Calvinists, do n''t you?"
30647I left them at it.... What''s going on within, Jefferson?"
30647I wonder will there be any processions here?"
30647Is he very ignorant, or merely perverse?"
30647Is it true, by the way?"
30647Is it, perhaps, a taunt from some one who wishes to remind me of the transience of my office?
30647Is n''t it a real pity the French are so obstructionist?
30647Is n''t it all too weird?
30647Is n''t it too awful for their wives, poor things?
30647Is that the case?
30647Is your paper in this damned Republican plot, as well as Sinn Fein, Bolsheviks, Germans, and the Pope?
30647It always does; do n''t you find that?
30647Luck did not favour our little plan, did it?"
30647Makes up for the seedy delegates and journalists, what?...
30647Man question?
30647Marry?
30647May I know further details, or are they for the private edification of the committee only?"
30647May Signor Cristofero now be permitted to lay his rather important information before the committee?
30647My, is n''t it queer what people will do?"
30647Now which do you think is the best?"
30647Now, I ask you, what would one talk about to Kratzky all that time except some iniquitous intrigue?
30647Now, do I ask too much, Lord John?"
30647Or an impersonal motive, such as a desire, for some reason, to damage and retard the doings of the Assembly?
30647Or had they emerged by some other exit?
30647Or should all literature, art, and humour be a cul- de- sac, suggesting no idea whatsoever?
30647Or without?
30647Or''_ Festina lente_''--for we must n''t be impatient, must we?
30647Personal enmity?
30647Possibly from some gentleman of Japan... or America... who knows?
30647Possibly you came across him out in the States?"
30647Revenge?
30647Robbery?
30647Should not everything be suggestive?
30647Should they smoke?
30647Should they work?
30647Such as myself?
30647Take Orders?
30647That he derives nearly all his income from it?
30647That the nations should be as brothers, and concern themselves with one another''s famines, one another''s revolutions, one another''s frontiers?
30647The horrid four who had preceded him-- where were they?
30647The question was, as an intelligent member of the Secretariat pointed out, who stood to benefit by the disappearance of Svensen from the scenes?
30647They''ll believe nothing I say.... Did you hear what he said about me at the committee meeting?
30647To be born a Catholic, that is one thing, and who can help it?
30647To whom, then, might such a desire be attributed?
30647Vote?
30647Was it indeed really funny at all?
30647Was it really funny even when to the lady thus unattired there entered a gentleman, either M. l''Amant or M. le Mari?
30647Was murder their object, or merely abduction?
30647Was that, Henry speculated, really funny?
30647Well now, why should he, after all?
30647Were they kept immured underground, these unfortunate captive delegates?
30647What and whose was the unseen hand behind these dastardly deeds?
30647What cellar, you demand?
30647What do you think?"
30647What is a government, that we should regard it as a connecting link?
30647What is a race, that queer, far- flung thing whose boundaries march with those of no nation?
30647What magic is there in the ring that embraces a country, that we admire it as precious metal and call the other rings foolish or base?
30647What new world?
30647What provision is being made for the safety of our persons?"
30647What remains?
30647What secret enemies of the League were so cunningly and assiduously at work?
30647What was all this prating?
30647What was it( though it had its own charm) as a dwelling- place for those of civilised and cosmopolitan minds?
30647What woman question?
30647What, after all, could he do?
30647What, in fact, is this_ patriotism_, this love of country, that we all feel, and that we nearly all exalt as if it were a virtue?
30647Where is the chap?
30647Where tarried it?
30647Where was Dr. Svensen?
30647Which should be followed?
30647Whither have they gone?
30647Who for?
30647Who was that Protestant pastor?
30647Who would have wanted to go on being Charles Wilbraham''s secretary but for Paris?
30647Who''d have thought it of him?"
30647Whose turn would it be next?
30647Why ask questions about them?
30647Why did n''t your people finish the job they began on myself-- if it was your people, and not, as I suspect, some Sinn Fein scoundrels?"
30647Why dwell on them, or, in detail, on the strange-- or rather the now familiar, but none the less sinister-- events which marked each?
30647Why was it?
30647Why, indeed, should any one be a heretic?
30647Will the Americans come in?"
30647Will we divide, or take the one road?"
30647Will you leave a message?"
30647Will you, Mr. President, request Mr. Beechtree to be seated?
30647With nothing, perhaps, but taunts?
30647Woman question?
30647Women believe what they are taught, as a rule, do n''t they?"
30647Would he be regarded as a fit incumbent of the office he holds?
30647Yards?
30647You are a descendant of his?"
30647You have a line of inquiry to follow?"
30647You have a message, perhaps?
30647You wish something done?"
30647_ Was_ only one thing funny, as some persons believed?
14332A Russian?
14332A little searching party of her own, eh? 14332 A man killed whilst another man held him-- held him in his arms-- and watched over him, and yet the other man saw nothing of the murderer?
14332A misfortune, my friend? 14332 A slave to a Russian?
14332Ah, do you?
14332Ai n''t you found out even yet, you silly? 14332 All serene, Gov''nor?"
14332An operation to be performed upon my baby boy? 14332 And Lady Wilding is, of course, the beneficiary?"
14332And appearing very much like the inflammation resulting from the bite of a gnat or a spider, Captain?
14332And did n''t?
14332And did so?
14332And do they say that?
14332And he did hear of him, then?
14332And so you are that great man Cleek, are you?
14332And stop until you hear from me?
14332And the horse? 14332 And the letter, monsieur-- the damning letter?"
14332And then what, Captain?
14332And were all the symptoms-- or, rather, the absence of symptoms-- the same?
14332And what are you doing in here, anyhow? 14332 And when will he begin, Mr. Narkom?
14332And who is not her brother, after all?
14332And you found it out only through his telling you, did you not? 14332 And you think the little fellow is in peril?"
14332And you took him in?
14332And you want to find out if he really carried out that threat and did put an end to himself, I suppose? 14332 And you?
14332Anybody a- comin''with him, sir?
14332Anything to do with it? 14332 Are you fishing for a compliment?
14332As for that other time... How could I have expected that you would take it in any other way, being what you are and I what I had been? 14332 As how?"
14332At breakfast?
14332Awful thing, was n''t it? 14332 Bad blood between you, then?"
14332Baron de Carjorac? 14332 Because I did not write?
14332Beer and skittles? 14332 Bimbi says maybe he''s going to be my daddy one day-- didn''t you, Bimbi?"
14332But can you? 14332 But from the sewer?"
14332But how, Mr. Cleek? 14332 But how?
14332But how?
14332But need you go so soon?
14332But not at this late hour, surely? 14332 But to save Mauravania''s queen, monsieur?
14332But what''s that got to do with drugging the whiskey?
14332But why a feint? 14332 But why should we talk of unpleasant things when the future looks so bright?
14332But why? 14332 But you''ll come, wo n''t you?"
14332But, Mr. Cleek, how could it have decided it? 14332 But, my dear Mr. Narkom, would n''t it be better, or, at least, more hospitable if I went over to meet him, in case he does come earlier?
14332Ca n''t you grasp the situation? 14332 Ca n''t you?
14332Ca n''t you?
14332Captain Hawksley? 14332 Cleek in France?
14332Cleek?
14332Clients?
14332Clodoche-- and from the sewers?
14332Collusion?
14332Coriander? 14332 Cut him with a knife?"
14332Did n''t you? 14332 Did you do that to- day at the matinee performance, chevalier?"
14332Do it? 14332 Do n''t think, do you, that there can possibly be any connection between the two cases?
14332Do n''t you?
14332Do you know, you little monkey, that you''re the only soul in all God''s world that could ever muster up a tear for me? 14332 Do you make anything out of it?"
14332Do you mean that?
14332Do you mean to tell me that is what kept you at home? 14332 Do you remember what I said, madame?
14332Do you think I could persuade anybody if a third man perished?
14332Does Marise pay you to sit there like mourners? 14332 Does it?"
14332Dollops, they broke into our holiday-- they did us out of a part of it, did n''t they, old chap?
14332Even though that deceit is the only thing that could give you your heart''s desire? 14332 Even to putting your head in his mouth?"
14332Facts? 14332 Father,"he said,"am I to do the trick to- night?
14332Finch?
14332Five? 14332 Five?"
14332From what source? 14332 Furnace?
14332Gave them up? 14332 Going back on you?"
14332Good heaven, man, you-- you do n''t mean--?
14332Got down to the last ditch-- down to the point of desperation, eh?
14332Happy coincidence my motoring down here-- eh, what? 14332 Has anybody else entered or attempted to enter the house?"
14332Has he not made it yet?
14332Has he, this precious royal master of yours, this usurper-- has he parted with that thing-- the wondrous Rainbow Pearl?
14332Has it ever done so?
14332Has that been lost?
14332He has a rich friend, then?
14332He took the bait, then, Cleek?
14332Helping you? 14332 Henry, will you never be warned, never take these awful lessons to heart?
14332Her? 14332 Here,"tapping her bodice and laughing,"tenderly shielded,_ mon ami_, and why not?
14332Here?
14332His body? 14332 His royal master?
14332How did it happen that she had n''t seen him in all that time? 14332 How did the Earl of Wynraven''s son come to meet this singularly fascinating lady, and where?"
14332How do you know that?
14332How killed, Sir Henry? 14332 Hullo, Smathers, you in this, too?"
14332I wonder if I deserve that? 14332 I wonder if the chevalier himself would be as safe if he were to make a feint of doing that?"
14332I wonder if you understand that I shall be kicking my heels on my bedside until it is ready?--that I sha n''t sleep a wink all night?
14332I? 14332 I?
14332In his hands? 14332 In the name of Heaven, man, who and what are you?"
14332Indeed? 14332 Interfering with young ladies, eh?
14332Is anybody interested in your not putting Black Riot into the field on Derby Day? 14332 Is it a panel?
14332Is it the lion again? 14332 Is that a fact?"
14332Is that a fact?
14332Is that all, Miss Lorne, or am I right in supposing that there is even worse to come?
14332It did come, then?
14332It is an age- old maxim, is it not, Mr. Cleek, that two wrongs can not by any possibility constitute a right? 14332 It is known that I have been with them-- the Comstocks-- and it is all so mysterious and awful.... Oh, who can tell whose hand it may be?
14332It is quite the size of a pigeon''s egg, I believe; is it not, Count?
14332It was the French position that you chose, then? 14332 It will be the story of last night over again, of course?
14332It''s a compact, then?
14332Johnston, stop!--turn round!--are you out of your head? 14332 Just have a look at it, will you?
14332Knew, Mr. Cleek? 14332 Know of it?
14332Lady Wilding, will you oblige me by standing here? 14332 Left what?
14332Little Lord Chepstow?
14332Look here,he said laconically,"what do you think of this?"
14332Look''ere, are n''t you a- goin''to do it quiet, or are you a- goin''to mike me tike the blessed thing from you?
14332Make a feint of it? 14332 Mates, monsieur?
14332Maurice Van Nant? 14332 May I ask who else is in the house besides the servants?"
14332May I ask why?
14332May I ask why?
14332May I ask, Major, why you speak of the lady in the present tense and of the man in the past? 14332 May I say again, that I am not sorry I told you?
14332May n''t be? 14332 Meaning Captain Morford?"
14332Mind? 14332 Miriam, Flora, and... Miss Lorne, will you tell me please the name of the lady to whom Captain Morford is engaged?"
14332Miss Lorne will hand you over to Nursie with orders to put you to bed if you do,_ I_ know-- won''t you, Miss Lorne?
14332Miss Lorne, am I to understand that this Captain Morford is engaged to a girl who has_ brothers_?
14332Miss Morrison,he inquired as Mary returned in company with the superintendent,"Miss Morrison, do you keep pigeons?"
14332Monsieur knows of the gem, then?
14332Monsieur, you then are the great, the astonishing Cleek? 14332 Monsieur,"cried out madame,"monsieur, what is the meaning of that?
14332Mother and brothers?--_brothers_?
14332Mr. Narkom, do me a favour, will you? 14332 Mr. Smeer does not approve of the race track, of course?"
14332Murple is the groom who was paralysed, is he not?
14332Must we disturb him? 14332 My dear Cleek, could n''t a parakeet be made to swallow a pearl?"
14332My dear Cleek, did you find anything?
14332My dear Miss Lorne, what are you saying?
14332My dear chap, you ca n''t really place any credence in that absurd assertion regarding the blue belt? 14332 My things packed and ready?"
14332New Zealand?
14332Not secured? 14332 Not surely when you are so tired as you say?"
14332Nothing worth looking into, superintendent?
14332Now, what are you after, you goat? 14332 Of a what?"
14332Of course, Carboys treated it as the veriest rubbish-- who would n''t? 14332 Oh, Mr. Cleek, have you any idea-- any clue?"
14332Oh, Mr. Cleek, you think you can get the stolen paper back? 14332 Oh, Mr. Narkom, what was it-- that noise I heard?"
14332Oh, he did that, did he? 14332 Oh, how could you know that, Mr. Cleek?
14332Oh, it''s that kind of case, is it?
14332Oh, that?
14332Oh, then you do keep them?
14332On your word of honour as a soldier and a gentleman, is that true?
14332Or, at least, to have you point out the hiding- place of them?
14332Others? 14332 Parakeets?"
14332Procure you a position, Miss Lorne? 14332 Really?
14332Remember it? 14332 Reward?
14332Ripping day, is n''t it? 14332 Ripping, was n''t it, old chap?"
14332Save the what?
14332Shall I show you how much I do respect you, then?
14332Shall I take off my hat and say''thank you, ma''am''; or just the hackneyed''Praise from Sir Hubert is praise indeed''?
14332Shall we go on? 14332 She intends doing that, then?
14332Shortly, the chemist? 14332 Sir Henry,"he said, after a moment,"may I ask how long it is since you were in South America?"
14332Sir Horace came down to look at the furnace? 14332 Sir Horace came down?"
14332Slipping off, sir?
14332Smart capture, Bobby, was n''t it?
14332So that he, naturally, would move heaven and earth to prevent his grandson and heir from marrying a young woman of that class? 14332 So the lady was of the careful and calculating kind?
14332Something you want attended to on the quiet?
14332Still, it will be one of the two certainly?
14332Strangled? 14332 Suppose I do n''t''run you in,''as you put it?
14332Surely, Miss Lorne, you-- are not afraid of me?
14332Takes it hard, poor old chap, does n''t he?
14332Tell me, if it is not an impertinent question, did you take out an insurance policy on Murple''s life and pay the premium on it yourself? 14332 That Patagonian plant, eh?
14332That is your ladyship''s son, is it not?
14332That? 14332 The Baron von Steinheid?"
14332The Yard?
14332The method of procedure?
14332The trouble arises from someone or something in his own household?
14332Then in the name of Heaven, Cleek, what has become of the money?
14332Then it is fair,said Cleek,"to suppose, in that case, that you have taken out one on your own life?"
14332Then it is only when they are dressed and made up for the performance, eh? 14332 Then it was you I heard behind me?"
14332Then the blunderer shot the child instead of the native?
14332Then who are you? 14332 Then why should you?"
14332Then, monsieur, how are we to seize them? 14332 There was an estate, then?"
14332There''s something you want to say to me, is n''t there?
14332They are beautiful, are n''t they?
14332To receive the jewel and the letter?
14332Two hundred quid? 14332 Villa de Carjorac?
14332Was it his hand that gave it up?
14332Well, to get on: the Comstocks were down in the deeps, and no hope of hearing any more from Australia and Uncle Phil, eh? 14332 Well, what next?
14332Well?
14332What a trial he must have been to the glove trade, must n''t he?
14332What could you have said if you had spoken?
14332What do you make of it, Cleek?
14332What do you mean by saying that Sir Horace came down?
14332What do you mean by that?
14332What do you mean by''that''s all''? 14332 What has happened?
14332What is it?
14332What monstrous juggle is this? 14332 What shall you mean by that''going back on you''--eh?
14332What the dickens are you talking about, Cleek? 14332 What was the charge at the garage?"
14332What''s a horse-- even the best-- beside the loss of an honest life like that?
14332What''s that? 14332 What''s the matter?
14332What''s your name?
14332When you what?
14332When? 14332 Where is it?
14332Where is the fragment we already possess?
14332Which, of course, he declined to do?
14332Who and what was the man? 14332 Who in this house could?
14332Who is responsible for that ridiculous assertion, I wonder? 14332 Who is there?
14332Who the deuce asked you for your opinion?
14332Who told him that it does better in the atmosphere of a stable?
14332Who?
14332Why Miriam Comstock, of course-- did I forget to mention it?
14332Why did n''t you say it was you, sir?
14332Why give it up then, Miss Lorne?
14332Why not go on letting me be your last hope-- your only hope?
14332Why not?
14332Why should n''t I know when I''ve been after him ever since he left Scotland Yard half an hour ago?
14332Why should n''t it? 14332 Why then did he not appeal to the police?"
14332Why wait for written reports, Mr. Cleek? 14332 Why?
14332Why? 14332 Why?"
14332Will I? 14332 Will the boy do it to- night, then, chevalier?"
14332Will you let me thank you? 14332 Wot''s it now, Gov''nor?--the railway station?
14332Wot''s the lay now? 14332 Yes, Gov''nor?"
14332Yes, I do see, chevalier; but I wonder if he would be willing to humour me in something? 14332 Yes, but why?"
14332Yes, but why?
14332Yes, but-- who knows? 14332 Yes, my friend, but''Margot''--how about her?"
14332Yes, old chap?
14332Yes, old chap?
14332Yes, sir?
14332Yes-- why not?
14332Yes; why not? 14332 You are certain it is not a fancy, but an absolute fact?"
14332You are travelling with a servant?
14332You drugged me?
14332You found them? 14332 You gave him a chance?
14332You have brought your motor, of course? 14332 You have n''t brought them with you, I hope, Mr. Narkom?
14332You hear that, Clopin? 14332 You looked into heaven, and-- well, what then?
14332You think it was fired, then?
14332You think they have to do with the hiding of the paper or the pearl, cher ami? 14332 You think, then, that the thing is genuine?"
14332You what?
14332You will let me have the privilege, the honour? 14332 You wot called, was it?
14332You would not think of calling Paganini a''fiddler,''he wrote;"why, then, should you degrade me with the coarse term of''cracksman''?
14332You''d have put a bullet through me at the first word, would n''t you, but for that little''bluff''of suspecting and arresting another man? 14332 You, Miss Lorne?"
14332You, sir, are that great man? 14332 You-- I-- Look here, I say now, what does this mean?
14332You-- you do n''t mean that she-- that Zuilika-- killed him?
14332_ Dix mille pardons, M''sieur_, there is something amiss?
14332''Ere you are, Miss Lorne-- lay hold of his little lordship, will you?
14332*****"How did I guess it?"
14332*****"How did I know that the body was inside the statue?"
14332*****"How did I know the man?"
14332--holding up the package he was carrying--"or a chance for me to do some fly catchin''with me bloomin''tickle tootsies?"
14332--the cold bore of a revolver barrel touched her temple and wrung a quaking gasp of terror from her--"Do you feel that?
14332--to the chauffeur--"Lanisterre, do you hear?"
14332A double- quick change?
14332A man to get a magic belt, to put it on, and then to melt away?
14332A position as what?"
14332A woman of that class?"
14332Admiring the view or taking stock of Mrs. Culpin''s roses?"
14332After he had risked so much to get them?
14332Ai n''t et summink wot''s disagreed with you, have you, sir?"
14332Ai n''t got such a thing as a biscuit about yer, have you?
14332All ready there, Marguerite?
14332All ready, Mr. Narkom?
14332All the soap dishes in the house left filled last night and found filled this morning, captain?"
14332An absurd belief, to be sure, but who can argue with a superstitious people or hammer wisdom into the minds of babies?
14332And Lady Wilding and Mr. Sharpless-- do they, too, disapprove of racing?"
14332And after all,"Thou shalt not enter"was to be written over the gateway of his ambition?
14332And do you see those serpentine tracks through the middle of it?
14332And drop it I would not after_ you_ had asked me to accept it, and-- Pardon?
14332And had it been on that of the mother''s as well?"
14332And how, pray, should we live if that were to happen?"
14332And in London?
14332And what can that have to do with your impoverished state?"
14332And what does all that gibberish and that word''Ayupee''mean?"
14332And what''s a Brazilian doing in the army of the Kaiser?
14332And when does it happen in their case-- during the course of the show, or when there is nobody about but those connected with it?"
14332And where''s a cove goin''to_ find_ this''ere''honest work''you''re a- talkin''of?
14332And who may he be, Mr. Van Nant?"
14332And why not?
14332And why should he include me?"
14332And yet-- and yet-- Ah, monsieur, how can I fail to feel as I do when this change in the lion came with that man''s coming?
14332And you mean to tell me--""That they employed one of these deadly reptiles in this case?
14332And, having been in it, what''s he doing dropping into this line-- backing a circus, and travelling with it like a Bohemian?"
14332And_ that_ has been lost-- that gem so dear to Mauravania''s people, so important to Mauravania''s crown?"
14332Any idea of what-- and how?"
14332Any light in the darkness, old chap?
14332Are we to fly at once to the mill and join him?
14332Are you here?"
14332Are you?"
14332Are your sympathies with the unfortunate so keen, monsieur, that even this stray cur may claim them?"
14332As for his identification of the body-- well, if the widow herself could find points of undisputed resemblance, why not he?
14332At once, at once, do you hear?
14332Avenge his death?
14332Bawdrey?"
14332Better?"
14332Bonny little specimen of a Britisher, is n''t he?"
14332But about that letter?
14332But if there''s any messidge-- I say, who wants him?
14332But is there anybody who would have a particular interest in your failure?"
14332But of a sudden:"Miss Lorne,"he said, in a curiously tense voice,"may I ask you something?
14332But tell me, does she show no anxiety, no fear of a search?"
14332But then I do not care to get on the back of one-- so why?"
14332But what interest could she or any of her tribe have in the death of Lady Chepstow''s little son?
14332But what of it?
14332But why should you connect these two persons with this inexplicable thing?
14332But yes, vat shall that mean-- eh?"
14332But, enlighten me upon a puzzling point, Sir Henry: What do you use coriander and oil of sassafras for in a stable?"
14332But, of a sudden:"You came here directly after the matinee, I suppose?"
14332But, pardon me, have you met with an accident, Mr. Bawdrey?
14332By any chance that Sir Henry Wilding whose mare, Black Riot, is the favourite for next Wednesday''s Derby?"
14332By what means?"
14332Ca n''t you do something?
14332Ca n''t you do this?
14332Ca n''t you see any glimmer of light at all?"
14332Ca n''t you see how nervous, how frightened, I am?
14332Ca n''t you suggest something?
14332Call this sort of tomfoolery being protected by the police?
14332Came in to put more of the cursed stuff on the ninth finger of the skeleton, so that it would be ready for the next time, did n''t he, Dollops?"
14332Can you remember what he said when he did that?
14332Can you, monsieur-- can you?"
14332Can you?"
14332Case?"
14332Cleek?
14332Cleek?"
14332Cleek?"
14332Cleek?"
14332Cleek?"
14332Cleek?"
14332Cleek?"
14332College man, are n''t you?
14332Come, may we not give ourselves a pleasant evening?
14332Could any man resist the temptation to use it when he was endowed by Nature with the power to do this?"
14332Could any man''go straight''with a fateful gift like that if the laws of Nature said that he should not?"
14332Could n''t manage to take me round behind the scenes, so to speak, if Mr. Narkom will lend us his motor to hurry us there?
14332Could, eh?
14332Dear God in heaven, Mr. Cleek, what are you hinting at?"
14332Dear God, can this be true?"
14332Did I carry it off all right, Gov''nor?
14332Did I do it jist as you wanted of it done?"
14332Did Ulchester take kindly to this housing of the mummy of his father- in- law and the eventual coffin of his wife?
14332Did anybody get at that?"
14332Did anything happen?"
14332Did he come?
14332Did the men on guard hear no cry?"
14332Did you see him, sir?
14332Do I puzzle you by that?
14332Do it?
14332Do me a favour, will you?
14332Do n''t mind if I sit in that corner and draw the curtain a little, do you?"
14332Do n''t you hear them?"
14332Do n''t you hear, you idiot?"
14332Do n''t you see the answers, the acknowledgments, in the''Personal''columns of the papers now and again?
14332Do you grasp it?"
14332Do you know me?
14332Do you know that I have a natural predilection for such things?
14332Do you know what''s going to happen to you?
14332Do you know who you had in your hands?
14332Do you know who you let go?
14332Do you know?
14332Do you mean that ripping old firebrand?"
14332Do you mean to say--?"
14332Do you mind?"
14332Do you object to that, or may I go on?"
14332Do you remember Hamilton, the medical student, in New Zealand, eight years ago?
14332Do you remember what I said about hitting upon a theory and offering it to the medical fraternity, only to get laughed at for my pains?
14332Do you see where I sifted it over this spot near the Patagonian plant?
14332Do you think the riddle you have brought is beyond my powers?"
14332Do you understand?
14332Do you understand?"
14332Do you want me?"
14332Do you want to know how he killed his victims, and what he used?
14332Do you?
14332Does the lion never''smile''for any of those?"
14332Does your father do so, too?"
14332Doubtless you have heard of that?"
14332Eh?"
14332Eh?"
14332Feel that you can rely on Logan, do you?"
14332Filled up, eh?"
14332Finch is the fellow''s name-- isn''t it, doctor, eh?"
14332For what?
14332For who can fight a thing unseen and unknown?"
14332From now till Thursday with jist you-- jist_ you_, sir?
14332From whose hand?"
14332Gawd''s truth, sir, you are n''t never a- goin''to give me two sich treats as that?
14332Gimme the tip wot kind of work I_ can_ do for you, Gov''nor, will you?
14332Got any more amazing things-- gems, I mean-- like that wonderful scarab?
14332Had you any old friend in your college days whom your father only knew by name and who is now too far off for the imposture to be discovered?"
14332Has he been here?
14332Has he expectations of any kind?"
14332Has he succeeded?
14332Has it anything to do with the case you have in hand?"
14332Has she come out of her retirement yet?"
14332Have Gaston and Serpice arrived yet with the rest of the document, Margot la reine?"
14332Have you any idea?
14332Have you caught him?
14332Have you found such things here?"
14332Have you lost your wits?
14332He is closely spied upon, then?"
14332He is good company-- he talks well, he sings well, he is very handsome and-- well, what difference can it make to you?
14332He stood waiting until the motor was abreast of him-- had, in fact, come to a standstill-- then spoke in a guarded tone:"What is it, Lennard?"
14332He''d not be expectin''a stable to be scented with eau de cologne, would he?
14332Headland?
14332Hear any more from Uncle Phil after that?"
14332Heard of him, have n''t you?
14332Heaven forbid it, of course, but if anything should happen to Logan to- night, whom would you put on guard over the horse to- morrow?"
14332Heavens above, Marguerite, did n''t you tell him?"
14332Hide the pearl in it?
14332Hop into it, will you, and meet me at the Fiddle and Horseshoe, between Shepherd''s Bush and Acton?
14332How are they managing it, those two?
14332How could the tossing of that coin have decided the sex of the wearer of those garments?"
14332How did you get them out of the house?"
14332How does the lady take it?
14332How get them into our possession, his Majesty and I?"
14332How has it come about?
14332How is the poor old dear this morning, darling?
14332How much respect will you have for him if he never lives up to his promise; never goes to Clarges Street at all?
14332How, then, could you guess?"
14332I are n''t too young to be''ungry, am I?
14332I confess I have n''t the ghost of an idea regarding the case, Captain; but if you do n''t mind letting your daughter show me the room--""Mind?
14332I had hoped that that might tempt a clever detective to take up the case; but what is such a sum to such a man as you?"
14332I may not care to take the case when I hear it, so what''s the use of letting everybody know who I am?"
14332I said in the beginning that his was either a case of swindling or a case of murder, did I not?
14332I said, did I not, that I wanted to win her, wanted to be worthy of her, wanted to climb up and stand with her in the light?
14332I say, Gov''nor, take off his silver wristlets, will you, sir, and lemme have jist ten minutes with him on my own?
14332I say, Mr. Narkom, do give me a cup of tea, will you?
14332I say, sir,"agitatedly,"look wot''s wrote on the envellup, will yer?
14332I say: you''re not going to stop now that the great race is over, are you?
14332I shall be right, shall I not, in supposing that all this is merely the preface to something else?"
14332I should have thought he could have managed that, should n''t you, Mr. Narkom, if he could have managed the business of making him melt into thin air?
14332I should have thought you would have remembered that, Mr. Cleek, when-- But perhaps you have never heard?
14332I suppose that fellow Merode, as he calls himself, is in his room, waiting?"
14332I suppose, Mr. Headland, that Mr. Narkom has told you something about the case?"
14332I take it there must have been some good reason, Captain?"
14332I want to get into every man''s room here, and wherever I find poison-- well, you understand?"
14332I wonder how much it will surprise you to learn that, at the present moment, I have just one hundred pounds in all the world?"
14332If a message was sent him by a carrier pigeon, where must that pigeon have come from, since it was one of Miss Morrison''s?"
14332In other words, that that fellow you suspected in New Zealand did n''t really die after all?"
14332In that safe?"
14332Intends to take no further step toward proving it?"
14332Is he dead?"
14332Is it done?"
14332Is it possible that you can have blood in your veins and yet take wondrous things like this so calmly?"
14332Is nothing else possible?
14332Is she safe?"
14332Is that agreeable, Mr. Van Nant?"
14332Is that the letter in your hand?
14332Is that what you said?"
14332Is the boy killed?
14332Is the chevalier well- to- do?
14332Is there anything we can do to help?"
14332Is there anything you will need before you leave?"
14332Is this the door of the picture- gallery, Sir Horace?"
14332Is this the way?"
14332Is this the welcome you give the bringer of fortune, Margot?"
14332It is fair to suppose, from your rushing out here in quest of me, that you''ve got something on hand, is n''t it?"
14332It is you--_you_--that calls upon me?"
14332It was a significant glance, and said as plainly as so many words:"What do you think of it?
14332It was horribly disfigured-- by contact with the piers and passing vessels-- but she and Anita-- and-- and my son--""Your son, Major?
14332It''s a bully old world after all, is n''t it, Major?"
14332Just look at it, will you, old chap?"
14332Know anything about Richmond?"
14332Know it, do n''t you?
14332Landlady, see that we are not disturbed, will you, and that nobody is admitted but the parties I mentioned?"
14332Let Dollops go home by train, and you meet me as I''ve asked, will you?"
14332Let''s have a game of''Slap Hand,''you and I-- what?
14332Look here"--he put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a gold piece--"do you know what that is, Major?"
14332Look here, Captain Travers: what do you think of this fellow''s little game?
14332Look here, Mrs. Bawdrey; look here Captain Travers; what do you think of a little rat like this?"
14332Look here, do you know who you''re dealing with now?
14332Lost in speculation?
14332Madame, do you like music?
14332Mates?
14332Mauravania''s heir and-- a Russian?"
14332May I trouble you for a pin?
14332May I?
14332Mr. Cleek, are you here?
14332Mr. Narkom promised to look out for that, and-- I beg pardon?
14332Mr. Narkom--"he turned to the superintendent--"keep an eye on Dollops for me, will you?
14332My God, what are they doing it with?
14332My dear Cleek, you do n''t believe that the man has been murdered?"
14332My dear Cleek, you were serious, then?
14332My signal is already hung out; shall we agree to the conditions and give him yours?"
14332Narkom?"
14332Narkom?"
14332Narkom?"
14332Narkom?"
14332Narkom?"
14332Narkom?"
14332No''smile''for your old Tom, is there, Nero, boy, eh?
14332Nobody can go by his looks; so how do you know?"
14332Not so much of a money grabber as that muff Headland wanted you to believe, is he-- eh?
14332Now then, what is it?
14332Now what do you make of it?"
14332Now what''s the password that Clodoche must give to Margot to- night at''The Twisted Arm''?
14332Now, if you know, tell me what did the chevalier mean, what did his wife mean, when they spoke of a dream that might have come true, but did n''t?
14332Now, if you please, Mr. Sharpless, will you stand beside her ladyship while I take up my place here immediately behind you both?
14332Now, please, may we not walk faster?
14332Now, the wig and beard, and after that-- What''s that you say?
14332Now?"
14332Of course that particular window opened upon a balcony or something of that sort, did n''t it?"
14332Oh, Mr. Cleek, can we?
14332Oh, Mr. Headland, do you think it is anything in the nature of a clue?"
14332Oh, Mr. Narkom, can this be true?"
14332Oh, monsieur, wizard though you are, can you get them past her guards?
14332Oh, please will you go to him?
14332Oh, who could have the heart?
14332Oil of sassafras?
14332One of''nobbling''?
14332Only''grateful,''I wonder?
14332Or is that really natural modesty?
14332Or not this week at all?
14332Or perhaps it may really be said to begin again where Shorty, the chemist, died, and the celebrated Spofford mystery ended-- eh, doctor?
14332Or was he willing to stand for anything so long as he got possession of the huge fortune the old man left?"
14332Or would you prefer that I should remain in the background as before?"
14332Or, if you have not, do you think your fiancà © e has?"
14332Owe me?
14332Oxon or Cantab?"
14332Pardon, but surely I have had the pleasure of meeting monsieur before?
14332Pardon?
14332Quite settled, both of you?
14332Ready with the motor, chauffeur?
14332Rum, my turning up just after Miss Lorne had written you and at a time when we both are needed, was n''t it?"
14332Seriously?"
14332Shall I nip off ahead or keep with you till we get there?"
14332Shall I secure your tickets?
14332Shall we give him the pledge he asks, Sir Horace?
14332She had died-- but from what?
14332She returned, then?"
14332Signalling?
14332Sir Henry"--he turned again to the baronet--"do you trust everybody else connected with your establishment as much as you trust Logan?"
14332Sir Horace, why did n''t you think to tell me of this thing before?"
14332So that was how it was to end, was it?
14332So there is money in the background, eh?
14332So this dear, deluded old gentleman, having failed to secure a''rune''in Java, brought back something equally cryptic-- a woman?
14332So, then, it was all to be in vain, was it, this long struggle with the Devil of Circumstances, this long striving for a Goal?
14332Some four or five months ago, was n''t it?"
14332Somebody trying to get at the mare?"
14332Soon?"
14332Speak up, speak up, you hear?
14332Stabbed or shot?"
14332Suppose I take a chance and lend you five shillings, will you do some work and pay it back to me in time?"
14332Suppose we say to- morrow noon?
14332Sure of it, Sir Henry?"
14332Surely they have got the wretch at last?"
14332Surely when you see it you will be able to satisfy any misgivings you may have?"
14332Surely, monsieur, I have seen you there?"
14332Tell me, how did this Russian get the jewel, and when?"
14332Tell me-- I''ll respect it-- tell me, for God''s sake, man, who are you?
14332That French lady, or the red- headed party in the grey suit?"
14332That was what it meant, eh?
14332That you have been reading about the preparations for the forthcoming coronation of King Ulric of Mauravania?"
14332That''s the idea, is n''t it?"
14332That''s the sculptor fellow you said in the beginning had gone through his money, is n''t it?"
14332That''s what you might call''giving with both hands,''Major, eh?"
14332That''s why you have come to me, eh?
14332The beard is real?
14332The cases were somewhat similar, judging from the scanty outline you have given me, and-- What''s that?
14332The cops''ull know me; and when you''ve got the nime-- well, wot''s the odds?
14332The hair is real?
14332The man had touched you, spoken to you, even caught up your hand and put it to his lips?
14332The matter could n''t possibly have ended there, or else why this appeal to me?"
14332The next day?
14332The only thing that could open the Gates of Heaven for you?"
14332The paper, my friend; you have brought it?
14332The question is, which?
14332The soap?
14332The son of the man who drove an Englishman''s wife and an Englishman''s children into exile-- poverty-- misery-- despair?"
14332Them beauties?
14332Then Mr. Sharpless has been to South America, has he?"
14332Then he turned to the Captain''s daughter, and asked quietly:"Would you mind letting me see the room from which the young man disappeared?
14332Then it-- it''s not a mistake?
14332Then of course she had no opportunity of seeing her uncle until he came here?"
14332Then the thing appeared, I suppose?"
14332Then who connected with the hall has been?"
14332Then:"Is that true, Count?"
14332There is no clue to the actual person and he is so cunning, so crafty-- Oh, please, will you go?
14332They will not come off?
14332This is Tuesday evening, is n''t it?
14332This woman and this one- eyed man appeared last week in Mauravania, you say?"
14332Those must have been trying times, Lady Chepstow, for the commandant''s wife, the mother of the commandant''s only child?"
14332Thought you could lead me by the nose, and push me into finding those phials just where you wanted them found, did n''t you?
14332Thought you had a noodle to deal with, did n''t you, Mr. Philip Bawdrey?
14332Three days, Count; three days, monsieur with the puppy dog; three days, and not an instant longer, do you hear?"
14332To do a thing like that?"
14332To him?
14332To that boy?
14332To whom did he part with this gem-- a woman?"
14332To whom?"
14332To- morrow?
14332Two hun-- W- what are you talking about?
14332Was even the fancied moment in Paradise to be denied him then?
14332Was he living in the same house with his fiancà © e, then?
14332Was n''t it a kinematograph picture, after all?"
14332Was n''t it true?
14332Was n''t too much, was it, sir?"
14332Was that same minute swelling-- the mark like a gnat''s bite-- on the neck of the boy''s body, too?
14332Was the lady of his choice a native or merely an inhabitant of the island?"
14332Was the person you allude to as''Young Phil''one of the sons that was murdered?"
14332Was the place his home, as well as Captain Morrison''s, then?"
14332Was there any mark on the door of the steel stall?"
14332Was there no struggle?
14332Well, if he dies without one, who will inherit his money, as I am an only child?"
14332What a detective he''d a made, would n''t he, if he''d only a- turned his attention that way, and been on the side of the law instead of against it?
14332What about me, old chap?
14332What are you doing?
14332What are you doing?"
14332What are you giving me, you josser?"
14332What are you talking about?"
14332What are you, Cleek?
14332What are you?
14332What can possibly have caused the good lady to do a thing like that?"
14332What can the ruined Château Larouge possibly have to do with the affairs of the Baron de Carjorac, Miss Lorne, that you connect them like this?"
14332What can you be hinting against that poor, dear boy?
14332What could make you think otherwise?"
14332What do you make of that?"
14332What do you think, Henry?
14332What do you want?"
14332What do you want?"
14332What for?"
14332What furnace?
14332What game, Mr. Bawdrey?
14332What has happened?"
14332What has he done?
14332What has made a woman like this pick up a fellow of his stamp?
14332What has the young beggar invented, then?"
14332What is it that has happened to your countenance?
14332What is it that she is doing?"
14332What is it?
14332What is it?
14332What is it?
14332What is it?"
14332What is the password of the brotherhood to the cause of Germany, stupid?
14332What is this incomprehensible thing of which both you and Baron de Carjorac have spoken-- this thing you allude to as''The Red Crawl''?"
14332What lion-- Nero?
14332What next?
14332What next?
14332What next?"
14332What next?"
14332What next?"
14332What on earth are you doing?"
14332What on earth can be his object?
14332What on earth can soap dishes have to do with it, man?"
14332What others?
14332What paralysed him, do you think?"
14332What poison, man, what poison-- what?"
14332What sort of a case is it?"
14332What steps have you taken, Count, to prevent this?"
14332What the dickens are you talking about?"
14332What the dickens did you mean just now when you spoke about''the lion''s change''and''the lion''s smile''?
14332What the dickens is this?
14332What then, Miss Lorne, what then?"
14332What would I be doing reading matters of that kind?
14332What''her''?"
14332What''s driven you to a dog''s life like this?"
14332What''s his little game, I wonder?
14332What''s it all about?"
14332What''s that, Mr. Van Nant?
14332What''s that?
14332What''s that?
14332What''s that?
14332What''s that?
14332What''s that?
14332What''s that?
14332What''s the case?
14332What''s un name, sir?"
14332What''s wrong?"
14332What_ is_ the use?"
14332When Baron de Carjorac recovered his senses after his horrifying experience--""That document was gone?"
14332When and how shall I expect to see you again?
14332When can you take hold of the case?
14332When did you learn of it?"
14332When will you have your luggage ready?
14332When, do you fancy?
14332When, sir-- when?"
14332When, where, and how did these mysterious murders begin, Captain, if you please?"
14332When?
14332Where and how does that come in?"
14332Where are the jewels?
14332Where did you come from?"
14332Where is he?
14332Where is it?"
14332Where is the boy, now?"
14332Where''s the narker-- where-- where?"
14332Where, if you please, did you acquire yours?"
14332Where, if you please, did you acquire yours?"
14332Where?"
14332Which way did he go?
14332Who are you?
14332Who are you?"
14332Who does not?
14332Who is Mr. Harmstead, Captain?"
14332Who is he?"
14332Who is he?"
14332Who would be likely to connect him with the death of a beast- tamer in a circus, who had perished in what would appear an accident of his calling?
14332Who would not mother a thing that is to bring one four hundred thousand francs?"
14332Who would, after having been promised wealth, education, everything one had confessed that one most desired?
14332Who''s to tell as he are n''t in with they devils as is after Black Riot?
14332Who?
14332Why a''misfortune,''pray?
14332Why are you following me?
14332Why could not fate have spared the Villa de Carjorac?
14332Why did n''t you say so in the beginning?
14332Why do you say that you do n''t like it?"
14332Why does it''smile''for no others?
14332Why does she curry favour of him and his rich friend?"
14332Why have you arrested the Señor Sperati?
14332Why in the world did n''t you tell me in the first place?"
14332Why is it only they-- my father, my brother-- they alone?"
14332Why not call in person and see?"
14332Why not stop on a day or two and call and see her?"
14332Why not tell me at once that you are a winkle stall- keeper and be done with it?
14332Why not the actual thing?"
14332Why, I wonder?
14332Why, how could you?"
14332Why?
14332Why?"
14332Wilder ones have come true for other people; why should they not for you?"
14332Will not that hurry you,_ la reine_?"
14332Will that do?"
14332Will this way lead me out?
14332Will you allow me to escort you across the heath and see you safely on your way home?
14332Will you come to the rescue, for my sake?
14332Will you come?"
14332Will you do nothing for her?"
14332Will you have the tea?"
14332Will you play the part of friend and guide and see me safely across the Channel?"
14332Will you, Mr. Narkom?
14332Will you?"
14332Wo n''t you and Mr. Narkom go up and search without me?
14332Wonder if it''s yours, madam?"
14332Wot price me for arnswerin''of you, eh?"
14332Wot''s that?
14332Wot?
14332Wot?
14332Wot?
14332Would any man have failed to fly to face the author of a foul lie like that?"
14332Would he be there?
14332Would he ever be nearer to it than he was to- night?
14332Would he ever get that reward?
14332Would you like me to show you the way?"
14332Would you mind letting him make the feint you yourself made a few minutes ago?
14332Yet if he does live up to it, will he not be doubly worth the saving?
14332You accuse Uncle Phil?"
14332You ai n''t a- going to tell me that he''s been there?
14332You are going for a ride with me; and if-- Oh, that''s your little game, is it?"
14332You are not interested in_ me, amigo_?"
14332You are still stopping in the house, you and your son, I think you remarked?
14332You believe you can outwit those dreadful people and save the Baron de Carjorac''s honour and his life?"
14332You ca n''t possibly think that Abdul ben Meerza really sent the thing?"
14332You came in your limousine, of course?
14332You can remember it, can you not?"
14332You did?
14332You do n''t mean to tell me that you had him-- had him in your hands-- and then let him go?
14332You do n''t mean to tell me that you let them take you in like that-- those two?
14332You do n''t never_ mean_ that, sir?"
14332You got him, then-- got him after all?"
14332You grabbed him, did n''t you-- eh?"
14332You hear that, my good servitors?
14332You heard his scream, heard his fall, but he was dead when you got to him-- dead-- and you found no one here?"
14332You heard me signal you to head him off, did n''t you?"
14332You held them?
14332You helped him to redeem himself?
14332You know that blessed room at the angle just opposite the library-- the one with the locked door?"
14332You mean it-- mean it?
14332You meant it?
14332You really do?"
14332You really hope to get the things?
14332You remember when I excused myself and went back on the pretext of having forgotten my magnifying glass the other day?
14332You saw her lift that trap; and-- what then?"
14332You took possession of them last night?
14332You wanted the murderer of Mrs. Comstock and her children, did n''t you?
14332You''d think her heart was breaking, would n''t you?
14332You''ll use an alias, of course?"
14332You''re not going back on me, are you?"
14332You''re not going to ruin the show, are you, and after all the money I''ve put into it?
14332You''ve come for us, I suppose?
14332You, is it, Mr. Narkom?
14332You, monsieur?
14332You-- you do not mean to tell me that he caused that?
14332You-- you really believe that suspicion points to Sir Gilbert Morford?"
14332Young or old?"
14332Your men will not want to search me of course, when I am merely popping out and popping in again like that, I am sure?"
14332Your son?"
14332_ What_ are you, dear friend?"
14332_ Wot?_ Oh, go throw summink at yourself!
14332a secret door?
14332and, also, why?
14332de Carjorac must make her home at the Château until the necessary repairs could be completed; and, of course, the baron had to go with her?"
14332do you see them-- do you, madame?
14332exclaimed the Count,"monsieur, what juggle is this?
14332he said, in a voice that shook with nervous catches and the emotion of a soul deeply stirred,"Cleek to take the case?
14332or what?
14332or what?
14332then he is dead, eh?
14332what are you saying?"
14332what do you suppose that means?"
14332what have you stumbled upon now?"
14332what is it?
14332what is it?"
14332what is wrong?"
14332what''s that?"
14332what''s this thing?"
14332when?
14332where?"
14332who can tell?
14332who may be spying?
14332why do n''t you answer me, instead of staring at me like this?
14332will no one tell me what has happened?"
14332with a sudden change from seriousness to gaiety,"if I am to be led into sermonizing, might I not know what it is all about?
14332wo n''t your missis be proud when you take her to see that bloomin''film?"
14332you never let him get away, did you?
27147A tall, dark- haired girl?
27147About what, Mr. Garfield? 27147 Aged nearly fifty-- sallow?"
27147Alone?
27147Always hopeless?
27147And Despujol?
27147And an Italian doctor named Moroni?
27147And have n''t you lost your memory?
27147And her husband, Jack?
27147And how long have I been here?
27147And how old is she?
27147And incidentally gain you promotion in the service-- eh?
27147And she is there now, I presume?
27147And the countess?
27147And the girl?
27147And the niece?
27147And then?
27147And what about Moroni?
27147And what happened while your master was with the stranger?
27147And what then?
27147And what was the result, Professor?
27147And where was Mrs. De Gex?
27147And whom do you suspect?
27147And why are you seeking her now?
27147And why do you suspect foul play?
27147And you have no other niece?
27147And you really refuse to tell me who sent this message?
27147And you suspect this Charles Rabel at Montauban to be the fugitive-- eh?
27147And you usually travelled with your master, I suppose?
27147And your husband knows him?
27147Are his features of a rather Oriental cast-- a dark, handsome man with deep- set eyes and a dimple in the centre of his chin?
27147Are the others in London, do you think?
27147Are they?
27147Are you certain she is not here, in Florence?
27147Are you really quite serious?
27147As a toxicologist?
27147As he paid Despujol-- eh?
27147But I thought you said she lived near Detroit?
27147But did Gabrielle Engledue die?
27147But do you anticipate that we shall discover in Charles Rabel the notorious Despujol?
27147But do you deny that the young lady, Gabrielle Engledue, died there? 27147 But first tell me if you know a certain Doctor Moroni, who lives in the Via Cavezzo?"
27147But had you no suspicion of any person posing as her friend?
27147But have they his photograph?
27147But have you any idea how your master died?
27147But his friend Pedro?
27147But how did you know my daughter?
27147But is Despujol actually in Nîmes?
27147But is Doctor Moroni known as an expert in poison?
27147But is a strict watch kept upon Mr. De Gex?
27147But is not the fact of the three men meeting here in secret under assumed names sufficient proof to you that some fresh plot is afoot?
27147But mine is a strange case, is it not?
27147But the carpet pins?
27147But their evil design?
27147But we wo n''t give up till we punish those responsible for poor Miss Tennison''s state-- will we?
27147But what could have been its motive?
27147But what is the mystery about this young lady? 27147 But what was the motive?"
27147But where am I?
27147But where am I?
27147But why not in Montauban?
27147But why should I give you this sum?
27147But why should Señor De Gex meet such people in secret?
27147But why should he not have shown you the dead girl?
27147But will he ever tell you the truth?
27147But you are full up-- eh?
27147But, tell me, where is the young lady who used to live here-- Mr. De Gex''s niece?
27147By whom?
27147Can not you recollect about those colours?
27147Can you explain the whole circumstances?
27147Death?
27147Did I not tell you that De Gex is as friendly with Sanz as he was with Despujol?
27147Did he not wear the gloves on his way back to Amsterdam?
27147Did not she recognize her mother?
27147Did the Baron, when in London, visit Mr. De Gex at Stretton Street?
27147Did you ever meet a friend of his-- a Frenchman named Suzor?
27147Did you notice that there was any deformity of his hands?
27147Do you know any personally?
27147Do you know anything of what happened?
27147Do you know him?
27147Do you really deny you have ever seen me before?
27147Do you really infer that Señor De Gex is an assassin?
27147Do you recollect ever meeting a French gentleman named Monsieur Suzor?
27147Do you think he had any hand in the mysterious affair?
27147Doctor Moroni told you that?
27147Doctors have seen her, I suppose?
27147Does your mistress come over from Italy often?
27147Five weeks ago? 27147 For what reason?"
27147Friend? 27147 From what?"
27147Gabrielle Engledue?
27147Had you seen her before?
27147Has Monsieur Suzor been in Madrid before?
27147Have you an uncle?
27147Have you any one named Pedro Espada in the hotel?
27147Have you ever heard the name of De Gex-- a rich gentleman who lives in Stretton Street, just off Park Lane?
27147Have you ever seen him before?
27147Have you seen many cases of its administration?
27147Have you?
27147He has been very kind to you-- has he not?
27147He left in a violent hurry-- eh?
27147Hence De Gex has inherited the Count''s fortune?
27147Hence there can be no harm in leaving the ballroom and coming out into the fresh air-- eh?
27147His head was affected?
27147How can I tell?
27147How could I approach him, do you think? 27147 How did I get here?
27147How did you know Moroni?
27147How did you obtain knowledge of it?
27147How do you feel to- day?
27147How do you know it?
27147How?
27147How?
27147I lost consciousness in London-- and now I awake here to find myself-- where?
27147I presume you are either English or American?
27147I wonder how I could discover more about her?
27147I wonder if you could find out her address?
27147I wonder if you will allow me, Madame, to take your daughter into my consulting- room alone?
27147I wonder what kind of shock it was that caused such a change in her? 27147 I wonder what was in the papers which so affected the lady?"
27147I wonder where he obtained it?
27147I wonder why Doctor Moroni warned Gabrielle against you?
27147I wonder why those colours were so impressed upon her memory?
27147I wonder why?
27147I''m sorry, sir,he exclaimed breathlessly,"but will you wait just a moment?"
27147If, as you say, I gave you five thousand-- which I certainly never did-- then what more can you want? 27147 Illness?
27147In what circumstances did you lapse into unconsciousness?
27147In what danger am I?
27147In what way?
27147In what way?
27147Including De Gex?
27147Inquiries? 27147 Is Doctor Moroni a doctor of medicine?"
27147Is Mrs. Tennison well off?
27147Is he waiting?
27147Is it possible that some drug could have been administered to her?
27147Is n''t her real name Engledue?
27147Is she not Mr. De Gex''s niece?
27147Is that really so, doctor?
27147Is that your name?
27147Is this the glove your master wore when he went to The Hague?
27147It seems a miserable ending to all our careful surveillance upon Suzor-- doesn''t it?
27147May I not know?
27147Mr. De Gex told me that she came to Florence for a few days----"To visit him-- eh?
27147Mr. Oswald De Gex?
27147Mrs. Tennison did not know Moroni before this affair?
27147No one with him?
27147No-- where is it?
27147Now tell me, Folcker,I asked seriously,"when he entered that little hotel at The Hague he waited for his mysterious visitor-- did he not?"
27147Now tell me, did you ever have any strange illness after Doctor Moroni had called?
27147Now tell me-- what is your theory? 27147 Now, tell me what happened to Miss Gabrielle that she should be in her present mental state?"
27147Of course you know Mr. De Gex''s butler, a man named Horton?
27147Of what?
27147On what date did she disappear?
27147Or was it that De Gex knew that I was here?
27147Orosin-- did you say?
27147Shall we seek him?
27147Shall you fly across this time?
27147She had no admirers-- eh?
27147So what is the use?
27147So you recollect me-- eh?
27147Surely you know Stretton Street?
27147Suspicions of what?
27147The truth of what?
27147Then I am still an interesting case, Sister-- eh?
27147Then Miss Engledue was quite well at the time?
27147Then do you think she''s dead?
27147Then he called in the daytime, when your husband was in the City-- eh?
27147Then he is wanted-- eh?
27147Then his friend is your enemy-- eh?
27147Then my information has been of some little use to you-- eh?
27147Then the stranger was left inside the hotel alone?
27147Then why has he come here, to Madrid?
27147Then why not tell me all the circumstances now? 27147 Then why should he have told it to you if he did not suspect that you had been watching?"
27147Then you are only here as caretaker when the family is away?
27147Then you have quarrelled? 27147 Then you intend to give up the quest for the truth?"
27147Then you suspect foul play-- eh?
27147Then you think he has suspicions-- eh, Moroni? 27147 Then you were away in Swanage during the first week of November?"
27147Then you were taken ill before she became similarly affected?
27147They say he''s a little eccentric-- don''t they?
27147This drug orosin is a very mysterious one, I suppose?
27147This seems to put an end to our present activity-- does it not?
27147To what do I owe the honour of this visit?
27147Warn me!--of what, pray?
27147Was Count Chamartin wealthy?
27147Was Gabrielle Engledue killed?
27147Was I given the drug deliberately?
27147Was any attempt made upon Mr. De Gex?
27147Was it a habit of his?
27147Was she about twenty- one?
27147Was she? 27147 Was the Baron a friend of his?"
27147Was there not a death in this house-- about five weeks ago?
27147Well, Mr. Garfield? 27147 Well, Mr. Robertson, how can I find out anything more about Miss Thurston?
27147Well, how do I know that Miss Engledue has not-- well, has not met with foul play?
27147Well, we have decided to suppress him, have we not?
27147Well, what are we to do now? 27147 Well?"
27147Well?
27147Well?
27147Well?
27147Were they poisoned?
27147Were you here five weeks ago?
27147What can it have been, I wonder? 27147 What can we think?
27147What causes you to suspect?
27147What could she be doing there?
27147What did I tell them?
27147What do you mean?
27147What do you remember? 27147 What do you want?"
27147What game?
27147What has Suzor done since?
27147What has passed-- eh? 27147 What is that?"
27147What is the date of to- day?
27147What is the nature of this exclusive information?
27147What is the room beyond?
27147What motive could the man have had in gaining access to your room and placing the pins there? 27147 What mystery?"
27147What opinion can I hold when the effect is so plain-- loss of memory?
27147What other doctor has seen her?
27147What was the doctor''s opinion?
27147What was the girl''s name?
27147What was their theory?
27147What, the person I bowed to a moment ago?
27147What-- do you know something, sir?
27147What? 27147 What?"
27147What?
27147Whatever do you mean? 27147 When did he arrive?"
27147When did she leave here?
27147When do you expect your master back?
27147When?
27147Where did you meet this girl Engledue?
27147Where is Castelsarrasin?
27147Where is Gabrielle Tennison?
27147Where is Mrs. De Gex?
27147Who is Professor Thillot?
27147Who is he?
27147Who is he?
27147Who is his friend?
27147Who is your enemy?
27147Who knows?
27147Who told you that?
27147Who would know?
27147Who''s she? 27147 Who?
27147Who?
27147Who?
27147Why am I here? 27147 Why ca n''t we tell the police the whole circumstances?"
27147Why did he rub his fingers together, I wonder?
27147Why do you entertain such antipathy toward her?
27147Why do you make these terrible allegations against Mr. De Gex?
27147Why not go to the police?
27147Why not? 27147 Why not?"
27147Why should I be in any personal peril?
27147Why should the doctor be Gabrielle''s enemy?
27147Why should you insinuate such a thing?
27147Why, I ask you, should Oswald De Gex be in secret association with that dangerous bandit?
27147Why, Mrs. Alford? 27147 Why?
27147Why?
27147Why?
27147Why?
27147Why?
27147Will Sanz be arrested?
27147With what motive?
27147With whom is he keeping the appointment?
27147Would he be there this afternoon? 27147 Would you describe to me the exact circumstances?"
27147Would you not be indignant? 27147 Would you oblige my master, sir?"
27147You are certain you do not know the owner of the villa?
27147You are in good hands, so why trouble?
27147You are, I suppose, the caretaker?
27147You do?
27147You have been wondering why I disappeared so mysteriously-- eh? 27147 You have n''t any idea who her parents are-- or where she lived in America?"
27147You have never heard of him in connexion with Miss Tennison? 27147 You have no idea where she is, I suppose?"
27147You have not ventured near Despujol, I hope?
27147You mean I should have died of poison?
27147You mean dangerous from the point of view of discovery-- eh?
27147You mean that you will not assist me?
27147You promise that?
27147You suspect that the individual in round spectacles had a hand in it-- eh?
27147You will meet Señor Rivero-- eh?
27147You''re here to blackmail me-- eh? 27147 You''ve never heard her speak of Mr. De Gex?
27147You''ve-- well, perhaps you''ve fallen in love with her-- eh?
27147You-- you are Mr. Garfield-- Hugh Garfield?
27147Your master was in quite good health as he ate his dinner and smoked his cigarette?
27147And if she were not dead whose body was it that had been cremated?
27147And myself?
27147And where am I?"
27147And who, after all, was the victim?
27147And why?
27147Are they the same notes which you say I gave you?"
27147Are you acquainted with a girl named Gabrielle Engledue?"
27147Are you certain she is dead?"
27147Are you mad?
27147Are you quite sure you do not know him?"
27147Are you remaining long?"
27147But are not you in London very badly served in that respect?
27147But by whom?
27147But for the matter of that, what could be the motive of the whole puzzling affair-- and further, whose was the body that had been cremated?
27147But how could such a state of mind be produced?"
27147But how did I come to be in St. Malo?
27147But how shall we act?"
27147But how?
27147But if my suspicions are unfounded, why has not the stranger come forward?
27147But may I speak to you for just one second?"
27147But was it surprising, so extraordinary had been my adventures?
27147But was not the situation a strange one?
27147But what I demand to know is why you asked me in, and what happened to me after you gave me that money?"
27147But what did this friendship with Gabrielle Tennison denote?
27147But what had been the rich man''s motive?
27147But what proof had I that the lawyer from Burgos had prepared that bolt?
27147But what was the motive?
27147But why do you ask such a question?
27147But why had Mademoiselle Jacquelot warned her friend the motor- bandit?
27147But why had he gone there?
27147But why is he here under the name of Thibon?
27147But why should he fear if not implicated in the plot?
27147But why was he in the English gentleman''s room?"
27147But you say that your adventure and that of mademoiselle occurred in London?"
27147But, tell me,"he demanded resentfully,"why are you here to claim acquaintance with me?"
27147But,"I added,"I wonder if this information conveyed by the Spanish woman really concerned the fugitive?"
27147By whom, if not by him?

27147Can not you tell me who he is?"
27147Could not the waiter ascertain the nature of the disclosure?"
27147Could the Frenchman''s visit to Madrid be in any way connected with the affair at Stretton Street?
27147Could you not dine with me to- morrow night?"
27147Could you take me there?"
27147Could you tell me the gentleman''s name?"
27147Cullerton?"
27147De Gex is expecting you to call upon him to- day, is he not?"
27147De Gex is the controlling influence of great events, but why should he seek to send you into an asylum for the insane?"
27147De Gex may be attracted by her handsome niece, the Señorita Carmen Florez-- eh?"
27147Did not his King invite him to conference, in ignorance, of course, of his true character?
27147Did she go to see Despujol?"
27147Did she know that it was torn?
27147Did you receive any sudden shock?"
27147Do n''t you agree?"
27147Do you happen to know him?"
27147Do you not agree?"
27147Do you not recollect that we both stood at her death- bed?"
27147Do you think, then, that there is any connexion between your case and hers?"
27147Does the Villa Clementini recall anything to you?"
27147For what reason had Moroni come to London and taken her with him to Florence?
27147Further, if the mysterious dead girl had been niece of the millionaire surely my friend the caretaker would have known her?
27147Garfield-- eh?"
27147Garfield?"
27147Garfield?"
27147Garfield?"
27147Garfield?"
27147Garfield?"
27147Garfield?"
27147Garfield?"
27147Garfield?"
27147Had Baron van Veltrup fallen victim to orosin, wilfully administered?
27147Has she not a beautiful voice?
27147Have you a card?"
27147Have you ever been there?
27147He was Despujol''s friend, as well as yours-- was he not?"
27147His friends?"
27147How did I travel from London?
27147How did you get in?"
27147How had they come there?
27147How would you feel?"
27147I bent to look at it, whereupon the caretaker said:"That''s a good photograph of Mr. De Gex, is n''t it, sir?"
27147I gave you money?"
27147I must apologize, Mr. De Gex, but would you ask your man to order me a taxi?
27147I suppose you know him?"
27147I suppose you mean Miss Thurston-- the young American lady, do n''t you?
27147I understand that your master came out and saw you during the interview?"
27147I wonder if he''ll be caught?"
27147I wonder if you would show me the drawing- room and the library?"
27147If she were, we should surely have seen it in the papers?"
27147If so, was it possible that he had seen and recognized me, and wished to escape unseen?
27147If so, why had he entered that dingy house in the Euston Road and made his exit by the back way?
27147Is she acquainted with him?"
27147Is the car there?"
27147Let me see, what did I tell you?"
27147Malo?"
27147Moroni-- Moroni?
27147My beloved gave vent to a shriek of horror-- and what more natural?
27147My words seemed to impress the stockbroker''s wife, for she asked:"Well-- what shall I do?"
27147Of course you have invoked the aid of the police?"
27147Or was Gabrielle Tennison and Gabrielle Engledue one and the same person?
27147Over what have you quarrelled?"
27147Pray excuse me, wo n''t you?"
27147She was dressed to go out, and asked:"Will you be long, dear?"
27147She was once your friend-- eh?
27147She was very like-- and yet?
27147Suddenly, hoping to further stir the chords of her memory, I asked:"Have you seen Mr. De Gex lately?"
27147Tell me, now, what is it?"
27147The Dutch police official knit his brows, and turning to me, asked:"Did you yourself discover this piece of steel?"
27147The reception- clerk called the uniformed concierge, and asked:"Did Number 175 leave alone?"
27147The trap must be baited-- and what better bait than the girl herself?"
27147Then I asked:"Did the gentleman who spent the night in Room 175 depart alone?"
27147Then I ventured to ask:"Do you, Professor, know anything of a Doctor Moroni, of Florence?"
27147Then in indignation, he exclaimed:"Who are you?
27147Then it is not a matter for extradition, eh?"
27147Then you hold some secret of his, perhaps?"
27147Then you know something-- eh?"
27147Then, turning to the girl, her mother asked:"What did he say to you?"
27147Was Gabrielle Engledue living-- or was she dead?
27147Was it by accident or design that they were beside my bed?
27147Was it by mere accident that I had been invited in, or was it by careful design?
27147Was it only a chimera of my unbalanced imagination-- or was it actual fact?
27147Was it possible that he was unaware of the surveillance I had kept upon him during and after his secret interview with Gabrielle?
27147Was it possible that what Mademoiselle had told him had scared him?
27147Was it possible, that, by the possession of great riches, a man could commit crime with impunity?
27147Was it really possible that I had been lost for the previous ten days or so?
27147Was it really possible that the Dutch Baron''s death had been due to the machinations of this mystery- man of Europe?
27147Was it therefore any wonder that she would not tell me more than absolutely obliged?
27147Was my case that of Jekyll and Hyde?
27147Was my memory, in my rather weak state of health, playing tricks with me?
27147Was she quite all right before November?"
27147Was the girl whose secret I sought still there?
27147We sha n''t be away very long, I suppose?"
27147Well, so you have been doing good business for us-- eh?
27147Well?"
27147What are you doing here?"
27147What could be the motive, I wondered?
27147What could have happened to him?
27147What could it be?
27147What did it all mean?
27147What do you suggest, Moroni?
27147What else did he say?"
27147What further devil''s work was now in progress?
27147What happened to your young mistress during the time she disappeared?"
27147What has happened since I went through Stretton Street the other night?"
27147What if I, too, went back to Paris and watched his further movements?
27147What inquiries are you making?"
27147What is she doing here, meeting that man clandestinely?"
27147What money?"
27147What more can I say?"
27147What was he doing?
27147What was it that De Gex had shown the doctor beneath the pale light of the moon?
27147What was she hiding from me?
27147What would my newly- found friend think if he returned to find me overcome?
27147What, I wondered, had happened during my month of unconsciousness?
27147What, I wondered, had taken the head of the Madrid detective force out there?
27147What, I wondered, was his object in visiting De Gex unless some other plot was in progress?
27147What, I wondered, was the object of that secret meeting?
27147When did he leave town?"
27147Where did you see them?"
27147Where is she?"
27147Where was Harry?
27147Where was Mr. De Gex?
27147Where?"
27147Who knows?
27147Who was she-- and what was the motive?
27147Who was the girl whose body, because of my false certificate, had been reduced to ashes in order to destroy all evidence of foul play?
27147Why are you so anxious to see her?"
27147Why ca n''t you smoke some other brand?
27147Why did she meet that Frenchman in Kensington Gardens?"
27147Why do you ask such a curious question?"
27147Why do you ask?"
27147Why do you ask?"
27147Why had I been marked down as a tool to further the millionaire''s ends?
27147Why had I, a mere passer- by, been called in so suddenly to be taken into the intimacy of the millionaire''s household?
27147Why had he crossed from Paris to London with me in order to meet clandestinely the poor girl who was the rich man''s victim?
27147Why had he done so?
27147Why had he held that secret meeting with the widow of the wealthy Count Chamartin?
27147Why had the body of Gabrielle Engledue been cremated if not to destroy all evidence of a crime?
27147Why is he here in Nîmes to consult with De Gex and his friend the Italian, Moroni, if not for purposes of evil?
27147Why is that?"
27147Why keep me in suspense?"
27147Why should he seek to conceal his identity?"
27147Why should he seek to do this?"
27147Why should the notorious Despujol dare to put his foot into Madrid and lay that deadly plot to kill you?
27147Why should we think so?
27147Why was I invited into your house in Stretton Street to be present as witness at the poor girl''s death?"
27147Why was the butler to be sent to Pisa?
27147Why, I wondered, had I been invited there?
27147Why?
27147Why?
27147Why?
27147Why?
27147Why?
27147Why?"
27147Why?"
27147Why?"
27147Why?"
27147Why?"
27147Will you consent to help me?"
27147Will you go with him into the next room?"
27147Wo n''t you do it for me, and help me out of a very great difficulty?
27147Would he ask the concierge there privately on the telephone?
27147Would he be wondering why I was absent from our riparian bachelor home?
27147Would he pass out of the exit where the famous Spanish detective was awaiting him?
27147Would the enigma ever be solved?
27147Would there be a fourth?
27147Yet had I not seen them together in Kensington Gardens?
27147You are the trusted servant of the family, and surely you know the whole facts?"
27147You called upon me some weeks ago-- did you not?"
27147You had a telegram from Siguenza-- eh?"
27147You know my name?"
27147You quite understand where we shall meet?"
27147You''re quite sure?"
33695A busy man?
33695A letter?
33695A mother living?
33695And do n''t you recognize your Uncle Joe?
33695And is Hartley,I ventured again, not without a secret fear of the consequences,"really anxious for reconciliation?"
33695And the girl?
33695And you are going to make it your business to guard the grounds to- night?
33695And you, Uncle Joe,I went on;"what were your words?
33695Are you alone?
33695Are you not my brother, then?
33695Are you ready for a counterfeit?
33695Brother?
33695Did not that evince some suspicion of disease on his part?
33695Did you ever suspect he was a victim to heart disease?
33695Did you think I was never coming, Joe? 33695 Do n''t you see you must answer for yourself?
33695Do you ask me?
33695Do you think you could keep out of my house to- night, any one I did not wish to enter?
33695Has Hartley told you just what you are to do?
33695Has two children, you say?
33695How did he get his money?
33695How old?
33695I beg your pardon, sirs, but is it suicide you are talking about?
33695I will be careful; only do you think that all is going well and as we planned it?
33695May I ask for what purpose?
33695My father consulted you, then?
33695Now, tell me who are the rowdies that threaten to invade our grounds?
33695Now,said I, as soon as I found myself alone,"shall I proceed with this farce, or shall I end it?
33695Perhaps he speculates?
33695Perhaps; but if that is so, why is your brother not here? 33695 Uncle,"I exclaimed, leaning over him and whispering tremulously in his ear,"what are your suspicions?
33695What are your reasons,I demanded,"for thinking the poisoning that has taken place here was the work of the Yellow Domino?"
33695What did I know? 33695 What, then, do you wish me to do?"
33695Where is she?
33695Who are you?
33695Who are you?
33695Who is in the habit of calling for these letters?
33695Who is there?
33695Writes, perhaps?
33695You have not been expressing doubts of Mr. Benson''s youngest son, because he happened to wear a disguise and be present when Mr. Benson fell? 33695 You wish to dare me, then?"
33695A man_ was_ here, that man behind you, simulating you in every regard, and to him we gave the domino, and from him we have learned----""What?"
33695Benson?"
33695Benson?"
33695But how came it here?
33695But how to effect such an entrance?
33695By what freak of necromancy had it been transferred from its legitimate quarters to this spot?
33695Carrie, you at least always gave me your trust,--will you take it away because a juggling spy and a recreant brother have combined to destroy me?"
33695Edith was right when she said you did not steal the bonds out of your father''s desk?"
33695Had I not seen him thrust it back into its envelope and afterward put envelope and all into his pocket?
33695Hartley, what could have happened?
33695Has he not striven from the first to make father forget?
33695Has he the nerve to embrace his opportunity, or what is more, the tact to make one?
33695He seemed to be satisfied with the ejaculation, and with an increase of eagerness in his tone, went quickly on:"Am I not right, my boy?
33695How did you greet the man you had been told was your erring nephew?"
33695How should I employ the interval?
33695I interrupted,--"Edith?"
33695Is he in this town, or has he planned this deception from a distance?
33695Is not this the secret of your whole conduct from that dreadful day to this?"
33695Is this the recompense you promised me, Hartley?
33695Is this the truth and constancy of women?
33695Is this what I had a right to expect from a sister, a-- a friend?
33695Joe, my boy, you never said you were innocent, but----""Who are you?"
33695Joe, was I right in this?
33695May I ask what has gone amiss that you come here to disturb my father on a day like this?"
33695Miss Benson, will you pardon me if I presume to ask you what were the words of salutation with which you greeted me to- night?"
33695Mr. Hartley, do you mind the man in the yellow dress that was flitting about the parlors all the evening?"
33695Now what could I say that would interest a hermit?
33695Say, then: Are you the guilty man your father thought you, or are you not?
33695Shall I go and fetch her here, or will you wait until she spies you of her own accord?"
33695Speak, then: Did you or did you not take the bonds that were found in the cupboard at the head of your bed three years ago to- night?
33695Then in a lower tone and with a significant gesture:"There_ is_ something, then, which has never been made known?
33695There are no rowdies in this town, and if one or two of the villagers should get into the grounds, where is the harm?
33695They never speak of him, and what''s more, they never write to him; as who should know better than myself?"
33695What did it all mean?
33695What did_ you_ know that you should be so positive it was either he or I who committed this dishonest action?"
33695What excuse could I give for my intrusion that would be likely to serve me on a day of such tumult and preoccupation?
33695What have you to say?"
33695Why should you doubt Hartley now, if you did not then?"
33695Will he succeed this time?
33695You can not think, they can not think, Joe could do any thing so dreadful as that?"
33695_ she_ never doubted you; and if my suspicions are correct----""Edith?"
33695broke from the doctor, followed by a quick,"Is that true?
33695came in a terrified cry from his sister;"what is this?
33695can you doubt it?
33695do you both forsake me, and all because of a word which any villain might have uttered?
33695she whispered,"is it you?
33695this your love and attention to my interests, Edith?"
33695this your sisterly devotion, Carrie?
33695was Edith right?
33695what is this I hear?
25875''How many days''journey?'' 25875 A bear?"
25875Age?
25875Age?
25875Ah, have they won you away from us too?
25875Ah? 25875 Ahteeah said Imbrie hated white men; Etzooah said his heart was kind to all men: which is the truer description?"
25875Alone?
25875Among the Beavers? 25875 And how far down to the great falls?"
25875And if I stand on my rights as a free man, and refuse to tell my business?
25875And that uniform you are wearing?
25875And when we get to town, what shall I do? 25875 And you rode to Swan Lake on your way back to his place?"
25875And you? 25875 Answer me as a man, is n''t it true?"
25875Any news?
25875Any objection?
25875Anything here?
25875Anything more?
25875Anyway, that''s my look- out, is n''t it?
25875Are n''t there any girls there?
25875Are n''t you afraid your spotless reputation will suffer?
25875Are n''t you going to feed me?
25875Are n''t you going to let me have my breakfast?
25875Are the rapids too bad for a boat?
25875Are you glad I came, Martin?
25875Ask him if he is sure?
25875Ask him what he''s afraid of?
25875Bought horses?
25875Business? 25875 But animals?"
25875But his face?
25875But if I have business out there?
25875But if he should work loose and attack you?
25875But if you were sick you needed a doctor, did n''t you?
25875But they do make good friends, do n''t they?
25875But what?
25875But what?
25875But why did he have to leave you?
25875But why_ should_ he run from us-- from me?
25875But you are going out there, are n''t you?
25875By what means did you travel?
25875Ca n''t a man have more than one baptismal name?
25875Ca n''t a man speak to his wife?
25875Can I smoke?
25875Can you bake bannock?
25875Can you see the petticoat?
25875Could n''t you-- sleep close outside my tent where I could hear you breathing if I woke?
25875Did I have it?
25875Did I wake you?
25875Did he come down the river from the mountains?
25875Did n''t the Kakisas give you any better reasons than that?
25875Did you find the body?
25875Did you go to his place?
25875Did you live alone down there?
25875Did you never have any visitors?
25875Do n''t you know any real girls, Martin?
25875Do n''t you say so?
25875Do n''t you want him come?
25875Do you call this a free country?
25875Do you know this lady?
25875Do you not wish to go any further?
25875Do you recognize him?
25875Do you still doubt me?
25875Do you suspect otherwise?
25875Do you think I value the life you offer me?
25875Do you think I was going to let her take me in and turn me over for shooting at a policeman? 25875 Do you think I''m going to go and leave him here?"
25875Do you want me to beat you?
25875Do you wish to change your statement?
25875Do you wish to put me out of my mind with suspense?
25875Does that sound as if he wished to escape me?
25875Father''s name?
25875Find out? 25875 For God''s sake, what''s the matter with you all?"
25875Getting luxurious in your old age, are n''t you?
25875Have n''t I made a good haul to- day?
25875Have n''t you come far out of your way?
25875Have n''t you got a tongue this morning?
25875Have you a pressing engagement?
25875Have you a sweetheart?
25875Have you any idea who the dead man could have been?
25875Have you any proof of that?
25875Have you anything to say in regard to that?
25875Have you ever told her?
25875Have you slept?
25875Have you the diary?
25875He not pass his''xamination, I guess?
25875He''s been to the post, has n''t he?
25875Hello, what''s this?
25875His occupation?
25875Home? 25875 How am I going to tell Clare?"
25875How can you tell the untellable?
25875How could I sleep?
25875How could I? 25875 How could that be?
25875How could that be?
25875How did Doctor Imbrie get to Carcajou in the first place?
25875How did Imbrie address her?
25875How did this woman come to join you?
25875How did you come here?
25875How did you come in?
25875How did you come to leave her if she was sick?
25875How did you do it?
25875How did you get word to her?
25875How did you know then-- how did we know that it was he?
25875How did you know where I was?
25875How did you travel from the Crossing?
25875How do you know that?
25875How do you suppose I knew that?
25875How far is it to Swan River?
25875How far is it to the Great Falls?
25875How long had he been up there?
25875How long has Imbrie been down there by the Falls?
25875How long have you been here?
25875How long have you been in this country?
25875How long have you been in this district?
25875How''d you like to be aboard her with your shoulder- straps and spurs?
25875How''s that?
25875I can take up land, ca n''t I?
25875I can trust you, ca n''t I, not to give me away? 25875 I kill him?"
25875If I might hear the man''s story first, sir?
25875If we come to a more favourable spot should I suggest camping? 25875 If we make a big fire wo n''t it reveal us to them?"
25875If you take our canoes, how we going to hunt and fish for our families?
25875In Winnipeg?
25875In what way?
25875Is he at home now?
25875Is it Ernest William, or William Ernest?
25875Is it a crime to live alone?
25875Is it just to see the country?
25875Is it possible for her to have done such a thing?
25875Is it true that this white man hates other white men?
25875Is it true that you have said you were his wife?
25875Is it wrong?
25875Is n''t it clear? 25875 Is n''t that enough?"
25875Is that all?
25875Is your memory coming back at all?
25875Is_ this_ Imbrie??
25875Is_ this_ Imbrie??
25875Jealous?
25875Man say:''Why make a fool of me? 25875 Married?"
25875Martin, there''s worse behind?
25875Mary, what do you make of it?
25875Mary, whose horse is that?
25875Maybe it has something to do with me?
25875Maybe the lady has a husband?
25875Me? 25875 Near-- him?"
25875No society?
25875No, but what do you think about him?
25875No,she said with an idle air,"where was that?"
25875No?
25875Obstacles, eh?
25875Oh, do n''t you know? 25875 Oh, that''s why, eh?
25875On what charge?
25875One more question; was he a good man, a man you respected?
25875Place of birth?
25875Raven say:''Can you see your camp from here?'' 25875 Regrets?"
25875Ruin? 25875 Say, what''s your interest in this man, anyway?"
25875Sergeant Stonor, can you testify as to that?
25875She''s tried twice already, has n''t she? 25875 Stonor, was there a garden started at Imbrie''s place?"
25875Stonor, were you ever real crazy about a woman?
25875Stonor, what for do you think he lives like that by himself?
25875Stonor, you''ve got the best dogs in the post; why do n''t you go up after him?
25875Stopping here?
25875The first night out is always a little terrible, is n''t it?
25875The worst thing we have to deal with up here is pneumonia; how would you deal with a case?
25875Then he''ll be glad to see us?
25875Then what are you wearing a cartridge- belt for?
25875Then why did they say nothing about his visit?
25875Then you suspect----?
25875Then you''ll help me?
25875There''s no help for him up there, is there?
25875Thunder ask in a voice that shake the ground:''Why you come here?'' 25875 Tie him up?"
25875To put a bullet through me?
25875Under what circumstances?
25875Was Doctor Imbrie waiting for you at Carcajou Point?
25875Was that-- the catastrophe that happened up here?
25875Was there any other man there?
25875Well, for instance, do you like to be with her?
25875Well, how could you go-- with me, you know?
25875Well, how did he get into the country?
25875Well, was that a crime?
25875Well, what do you think?
25875Well, what does he say?
25875Well, when I first met you, why did you lie to me concerning your identity?
25875Well-- can I speak to my wife for a minute?
25875Well?
25875Were you going to spend the night here?
25875Were you up?
25875What about it, Mary?
25875What about the breed woman?
25875What about the white man?
25875What am I doing in a shack in the woods?
25875What am I doing with a wedding- ring?
25875What are they like?
25875What are you afraid of? 25875 What are you asking me such questions for?"
25875What are you doing here?
25875What are you doing with a wedding- ring?
25875What are you travelling in?
25875What day is this?
25875What did she take me into the bush for?
25875What do they say about him down at the post?
25875What do you care? 25875 What do you make of it all?"
25875What do you make of it, Sergeant?
25875What do you mean?
25875What do you think it was?
25875What do you think?
25875What do you think?
25875What do you want of me?
25875What do you want to tie me up for?
25875What do you want?
25875What do you want?
25875What does Etzooah say?
25875What foolishness?
25875What for you tell me that?
25875What happened anyway, damn you?
25875What happened?
25875What has happened? 25875 What have I written?"
25875What is it?
25875What is that smell?
25875What is the charge?
25875What is the connection between her and Imbrie?
25875What is the matter, Martin?
25875What is this for, then?
25875What is this place we are going to, Martin?
25875What is your business here?
25875What is your name?
25875What is your real reason?
25875What kind of a canoe?
25875What kind of a gun did Imbrie have?
25875What kind of a look is that?
25875What kind of elegant language is this from Swan River?
25875What kind of visitor?
25875What magic did you use?
25875What makes you think that?
25875What man''s body was that?
25875What proof have you of murder?
25875What put that idea into your head?
25875What reason had you to think that?
25875What river is this?
25875What she come for?
25875What should I do, Martin?
25875What sort of man is he?
25875What then?
25875What time is it?
25875What was it?
25875What was the name of the freighter who brought you over the portage?
25875What will we do with him?
25875What would we do for a chaperon?
25875What''s become of the two women?
25875What''s he saying to them?
25875What''s that for?
25875What''s that for?
25875What''s that?
25875What''s the charge?
25875What''s the difference? 25875 What''s the idea of shooting at a policeman?
25875What''s the matter with her?
25875What''s the matter?
25875What''s the matter?
25875What''s the matter?
25875What''s the news of the world, Ben?
25875What''s the trouble, then?
25875What''s your name?
25875What?
25875When and where were you married?
25875When are you going?
25875When did you lie to me?
25875When he finish eating, Raven say:''Why you come here?'' 25875 When will you be back?"
25875When?
25875Where are you going to sleep?
25875Where are you going?
25875Where are you hurt?
25875Where can he be?
25875Where could they have got the English words?
25875Where did he come from, then?
25875Where did you come from?
25875Where did you get that boat?
25875Where did you go from Carcajou Point?
25875Where do you suppose this woman kept herself while Imbrie was living beside the falls?
25875Where does he live?
25875Where had he been?
25875Where is he, then?
25875Where is he?
25875Where is he?
25875Where is the woman who speaks English?
25875Where was it sent from?
25875Where was that?
25875Where was the deed committed?
25875Which way?
25875Who are you?
25875Who are you?
25875Who are you?
25875Who bandaged me?
25875Who is that?
25875Who was us?
25875Who''s it addressed to?
25875Whom did he murder?
25875Why did n''t you meet at Fort Enterprise, where there was a good trail to Swan River?
25875Why did you ask?
25875Why did you both leave me? 25875 Why do I tell you?
25875Why do all the white men talk against him?
25875Why do n''t you kill him yourself?
25875Why do n''t you tell her like a man?
25875Why do n''t you-- sometime-- go to him?
25875Why do you look at me like that?
25875Why had Doctor Imbrie left his wife?
25875Why have I got to do all the dirty work?
25875Why not to- night?
25875Why not?
25875Why only nine days?
25875Why should it?
25875Why should n''t I be?
25875Why were n''t you willing to come to the post and let the whole thing be explained?
25875Why you look so sorry then?
25875Why you think that? 25875 Why''such as it is''?"
25875Why?
25875Why?
25875Will I be good enough to hand over his mail?
25875Will you be my friend?
25875Will you question her?
25875Wolves?
25875Would he leave the door open?
25875Would it be possible,she asked meekly,"for you to plan to leave a day in advance of the steamboat, and say nothing about taking me?"
25875Would you and Mary be afraid to stay here all night without me?
25875Would you go bury yourself among the Indians for a woman?
25875Yes-- but----?
25875You are not my brother, are you, or any relation?
25875You ask him to come?
25875You can follow the tracks, ca n''t you?
25875You did not tell him?
25875You do n''t expect me to repeat foolish gossip, do you?
25875You do n''t remember the days when I was courting you?
25875You have Indian blood in your veins?
25875You know this lady?
25875You mean for us to leave the post secretly?
25875You policemen think pretty well of yourselves, do n''t you?
25875You say you are unmarried?
25875You see?
25875You suspect that this man... my husband... whom I do not know... that other man... murder, perhaps?
25875You teenk it is_ him_?
25875You were alone then?
25875You wish to do all the worrying, do n''t you?
25875You''re not afraid?
25875You''re not bothered about Ahchoogah''s imaginary terrors, are you?
25875You''ve forbidden me to ask questions about myself,said she;"but how about you?"
25875You''ve found your tongue, eh? 25875 Your home?"
25875Your name?
25875A foot?
25875A policeman has got to be proper, has n''t he?"
25875After a while she asked abruptly:"What do you think we ought to do?"
25875After a while, because it was impossible for him not to say it, he softly asked:"Are you asleep?"
25875All say, how was that done?
25875Any charge you bring against me will look foolish when I tell them----""Tell them what?"
25875Anything strange in that?"
25875Are n''t you sorry now that you interfered with me?"
25875As he passed the breed woman he said in the Indian tongue:"Well, who was right, old woman?"
25875As they sat down she said:"Do n''t you want to smoke?"
25875As they sat over their meal he said tauntingly:"Why are you afraid to tell me what the charge is against me?"
25875At some time in the past he has injured me cruelly, I am sure.--Yet I told you I had injured him, did n''t I?"
25875But how could Clare have so stooped----?
25875But if he had hidden himself, where had he hidden himself?
25875But what influence could reach away out here?
25875But when we came to you at your place, why did you run away from us?"
25875But where did you get that idea?"
25875But why did you run away when I came to see you?"
25875But you''re not going to delay the start?"
25875Calling her outside, he put the invariable question to her, accompanied with appropriate signs: where was the white woman?
25875Can you verify her story?"
25875Could Imbrie have persuaded one of the Kakisas to accompany him?
25875Could a man without a face come to life?"
25875Did I do wrong?"
25875Do n''t you understand?
25875Do n''t you understand?"
25875Do you know him?"
25875Do you understand me?"
25875Do you wish to give any further information about your antecedents?"
25875Etzooah went on:"We talk----""Could he speak Kakisa?"
25875Finally he said:"Could n''t you announce your intention of remaining over for one trip of the steamboat?
25875First, what is your name?"
25875Frankly, now, do n''t you consider yourself a suspicious character?"
25875Has anyone spoken evil of the policeman to Etzooah?
25875He retorted:"If your conscience is easy, what do you care what charge is made?"
25875His secret dread was that she might become seriously ill. What would he do in that case, so far away from help?
25875How could a man have got there without their knowing it?
25875How could he blame her?
25875How could he sleep, not knowing perhaps but that one more mile might bring him to his goal?
25875How do you explain that?"
25875How had she got into the country anyway?
25875How is that?
25875How long do you think it will take us to make it?"
25875How was he going to tell Clare?
25875How was he to bear himself at the meeting of this divided couple?
25875How you goin''find out?
25875How you know his body there?"
25875I brought the body ashore----""You brought the body ashore-- out of the rapids above the falls----?"
25875I could n''t help myself-- Is that a motor at the gate?"
25875I guess you''re sorry now that you ever fooled with me, are n''t you, Redbreast?"
25875I suppose that''s my right, is n''t it?"
25875I thought I remembered a woman-- or did I dream it?"
25875If I might ask her a question, sir----?"
25875If I untie your hands, will you write a line from my dictation?"
25875If he escaped the rapids he would surely be carried over the Falls; and if he was n''t, how did he expect to get back up the rapids?
25875If his brain was unhinged, who could say what wild impulse might seize him?
25875If it was Imbrie, how could he tell her?
25875If she came all this way to find me, it''s clear she wanted to make up, is n''t it?
25875If you go over the falls what we do?
25875Imbrie asked with intolerable insolence:"Will you be my servant, Redbreast?"
25875Imbrie''s?
25875Imbrie, when I was taking you and this lady back to Fort Enterprise, why did you carry her off?"
25875In the rapids?
25875Is it true he sent in a whole bale of silver foxes to the post?"
25875Is it worth hanging for?"
25875Is n''t that true?"
25875Is that so, Stonor?"
25875It does n''t seem quite fair, does it, to dig him out and write him up in the papers?"
25875It meant:"Is it possible that I am the first with him?"
25875It meant:"What are you doing in the tepees, then?"
25875It will be part of your duty to take me home, wo n''t it?
25875Later you attempted to sneak into the house----""Well, it was my own house, was n''t it?"
25875Later, after a thoughtful silence, Stonor suddenly asked:"Imbrie, how did you treat measles among the Kakisas last year?
25875Major Egerton proceeded:"Well, why did n''t you wait for her until she got well?"
25875Mary said in her impassive way:"Etzooah say how we know that was the White Medicine Man''s body?"
25875Mary said:"Ahteeah say, What for you want go down the river?"
25875Mary translated:"What for you want go down rapids?
25875Mary, ca n''t you tell me why they give me such black looks?"
25875Must I go into particulars?
25875Must he be haunted by him all his life?
25875Now, when you started back with her, did she go home with you?"
25875Now, will you enter?''
25875On one occasion Imbrie said with a careless air:"Did you see the big falls when you were down the river?"
25875Presently she asked:"Is there no one here but us?
25875Privately he asked himself:"Why, if Imbrie is such a good man, does she seem to dread meeting him?"
25875Said Tole:"Stonor, what you make of this Swan River mystery?"
25875Say:''Why is this?
25875Shall I go, or shall I refuse to go?
25875Shall I read you from it?"
25875Shall I resist the woman when she tries to tie my hands?
25875She asked very low:"Do you love me, Martin?"
25875She said in the Indian tongue:"What do you look at me for?
25875She sat; glanced out of the window, glanced here and there about the room, and rattled on:"Have n''t we got a jolly little place here?
25875So it''s Inspector Stonor now, eh?
25875Stonor asked:"What did you make of that breed woman?"
25875Stonor thought:"What does he tell me that for?
25875Stonor, outwardly unmoved, said:"May I ask the woman one more question, sir, before I lay a charge against the man?"
25875Suddenly out of the murk came with stunning effect a deep- throated hail:"Stonor, is that you?"
25875Suppose I make a break for it as soon as we land?
25875The Indian said:"You not find White Medicine Man?"
25875The instant she came towards him he burst out:"He did n''t annoy you?"
25875The piano was grotesquely out of tune, but what cared they for that?
25875The woman said impatiently:"How long are you going to keep up this foolishness?"
25875Then we''ll go right out on the steamboat, wo n''t we?"
25875There is a fall below, is n''t there?"
25875There remained the third Kakisa village at Swan Lake, seventy miles up the river, but in that case, why should he not have gone on in the canoe?
25875There''s nothing the matter with you?"
25875They''d say I ought to wait here and send for him----""Well, would n''t that be better?"
25875To be sure, there was the river, but it was not likely he had still a third canoe: and if he had gone up the river, how could they have missed him?
25875To the woman he said:"What was your object in making this long journey alone?"
25875Untie this damned rope, will you?"
25875Was she mad?
25875Was she so consumed by impatience to arrive that the dragging hours were a torture to her?
25875Was the examination difficult?
25875Was this the reason for Clare''s premonition?
25875Watching Stonor, he said with unnatural perspicacity:"You''d like to pick her up, would n''t you?"
25875We want go look for the one we fear?
25875We wo n''t have to wait there, will we?"
25875What am I doing in such a place?"
25875What could I do?
25875What did you expect to gain by jumping on her?"
25875What do you call him?"
25875What do you mean by not right?"
25875What do you mean by saying he was your friend?"
25875What foolishness is this?"
25875What have I done?
25875What if we capsize and lose our grub?
25875What is Fort Enterprise like?"
25875What is it?"
25875What is the charge against the woman?"
25875What is there down there I must n''t see?"
25875What is your name, to begin with?"
25875What is your reason for wanting to go out to Swan River?"
25875What is your relation to the other prisoner here?"
25875What kind of a trip did you have?
25875What man could look on such things of fear and live?''
25875What of the riddle of Imbrie?
25875What sense is there in that?
25875What shall I do?
25875What was one to do with a man who was at once sane and irresponsible?
25875What we do?"
25875What were you afraid of?
25875What would the Kakisas do with cash?
25875What''s the matter?
25875When I drove up he''d say:''What the hell are you doing up here?''
25875When did you get the letter from him?"
25875When the latter made no offer to speak she said, for she was a privileged person:"You hear from Stonor?"
25875When they got back to their camp Imbrie demanded with seeming indignation:"What was the matter with you?
25875When they stand outside Raven ask:''Is the home of your people far?''
25875Where do you come from?"
25875Where had she been while Imbrie was down there?
25875Where is she?"
25875Where is that?"
25875Where is your husband?''
25875Where''s your tunic, your boots?
25875Where, then, had he picked her up?
25875Which tepee is he in?"
25875Who in thunder at Swan River can write a white man''s hand?"
25875Who is she?"
25875Who knows what may have happened since the freeze- up last October?"
25875Who the deuce is he?"
25875Whom did she shoot at?"
25875Whose foot?
25875Why bring the matter up?"
25875Why did n''t you come to the trading- post?"
25875Why did you choose that method?"
25875Why do n''t you go to her?"
25875Why do you work so hard for them?"
25875Why is that?
25875Why is that?"
25875Why not do it now?"
25875Why should he hide from us?"
25875Why you cry?
25875Why?"
25875Will you eat with us?"
25875Will you let her go outside for a moment to recover herself?"
25875Will you sleep now?"
25875Would a man want to smoke in Paradise?
25875Would he be able to carry it off?
25875Would he let me ride him?"
25875Yet how could he lie supine when she was in trouble, and make believe not to hear?
25875You come back alone and make a story of how he tried to run away, see?
25875You have to sing small, do n''t you, Redbreast?"
25875You not see them?
25875nothing better to do than tote Doc Giddings''love- letters?''"
25875or was it simply the uncertainty of what awaited her, and a longing to have it over with?
31135Ah, Luigi, you have n''t got any of the stolen cuff- buttons concealed up your sleeve there, have you? 31135 Ah, Monsieur La Violette, what do you know concerning the recent sad affair here at the castle,--the theft of the diamond cuff- buttons, you know?"
31135And they both made it up with you to hide the cuff- button, eh? 31135 And when was the Earl''s room swept out?"
31135And whom do you accuse as the guilty miscreant, Ivan?
31135And whom do you suspect? 31135 Are you awake there, Letstrayed?
31135Aw, what the Sam Hill are you giving us, you old dub? 31135 But where is the rest of our recent little promenade party by this time?
31135By the way, Louis, what do you think about the four remaining diamond cuff- buttons still floating around? 31135 By the way, has n''t this great racer here got something the matter with his left hind hoof?
31135Ca n''t you ever learn anything after all your long association with me? 31135 Can you beat it, Watson?"
31135Did you hear any noise Sunday night to indicate that burglars were getting in?
31135Do I?
31135Do you always keep the promises you make to yourself, Holmes?
31135Do you understand German yourself?
31135Down in the Earl''s wine- cellar again, sampling''em up, eh?
31135Eh, what? 31135 Eight million pounds of what?
31135Er, Hi say,he began, with great importance, as he motioned to the cook''s cuffs,"are n''t those the lost cuff- buttons this fellow is wearing now?
31135Er, ah,--well, what do you know about the stolen cuff- buttons, if anything? 31135 Even if I should happen to arrest you for stealing some of the cuff- buttons yourself, eh?"
31135Ever been in jail?
31135For Heaven''s sake, did n''t you hear the noise downstairs, Holmes?
31135For the love of Mike, now what?
31135He was, eh? 31135 Hello, what''s this?"
31135His Nibs ca n''t very well fire_ her_, can he? 31135 How could I foresee that some one would steal my cuff- buttons and then run up here and hide in the hay?
31135How do you know it was Blumenroth?
31135How old are you,--and where did you work before you gave the Earl the benefit of your services?
31135How the Sam Hill did you ascertain_ that_, Holmes?
31135Hum, have you overheard her talking about the diamonds, or is it just on general principles?
31135Hum, that''s hard lines, ai n''t it, Launcelot?
31135I beg pardon, Your Ladyship, but what do you know concerning this sad affair?
31135I say there, Holmes, do n''t you think you''re going it pretty strong?
31135I say, Thorneycroft, is the pearl- diving business out there in the Andamans as good as the diamond- swiping industry in this country?
31135I say, gentlemen, could you tell me who has charge of His Lordship''s hay in the stables? 31135 Is he falling in love, at his age?"
31135Is that all you can detect?
31135Is that all you know about it?
31135Is that all? 31135 Is that the reason the Earl hired you,--because you are so good at looking upon the grape- juice when it is red?"
31135It is n''t a crime in Scotland to carry a bottle, is it?
31135It is, eh?
31135Mr. Hicks of Canada, what do you say about it?
31135Not caring at all whether it was one of the diamond cuff- buttons we have been after or not, eh? 31135 Now how in Tophet did that get into a pocket of the pool- table?
31135Now where in thunder did I put that diamond cuff- button?
31135Now, Holmes, what''ll we do with this little stiff over here?
31135Oh, is that all? 31135 Old who, did you say?"
31135Say, Holmes,I whispered anxiously,"what''ll we do when all these people report the loss of their footgear to the Earl?"
31135Say, are you going to swipe all their shoes, Holmes?
31135Say, what do you think you''re doing, anyhow, Mr. Smart- Alec from London,--adopting the Kneipp cure?
31135Say, what in thunder are you trying to pull off here, anyhow? 31135 She, did you say?
31135So the horse was born with a diamond on his hoof, eh? 31135 So you fell off the water- wagon, eh,--even in the watery city?"
31135Still got it in for Brother Launcie, eh?
31135Terrible, ai n''t it? 31135 That so, Doc?"
31135The diamond cuff- buttons, I know, eh? 31135 Then how do you know it was swearing?"
31135Think he intended to give her a diamond cuff- button, instead of a diamond ring, Donald?
31135This detective stuff is just one darned disguise after another, ai n''t it, Holmes? 31135 This one of the constables?"
31135Those wretched things from the Philippines,--with the terrible odor? 31135 Time for luncheon, ai n''t it, Holmesy, old boy?"
31135Well, Annabelle, what have you got to say for yourself?
31135Well, Doc, what would you say as to the shoes from a cursory examination, without the instruments?
31135Well, I only wish I, too, could forget it; but how can I? 31135 Well, Joe,"continued Holmes,"what do you know about the lost and lamented cuff- buttons,--if anything?"
31135Well, Mr. Holmes, to what am I indebted for the honor of this visit, and for the privilege of seeing you rigged up in the valet''s clothes?
31135Well, Mr. Smart Alec, what''s your entire name?
31135Well, Natalie, have you seen the diamond cuff- buttons lying around loose anywhere?
31135Well, do you suspect anybody here of stealing the cuff- buttons?
31135Well, my hasty friend from Hedge- gutheridge, so you have n''t got all your buttons, eh?
31135Well, now what?
31135Well, that''s hardly valid ground for accusing him of the robbery,--don''t you think?
31135Well, what are you looking at?
31135Well, what do you mean by this impudent intrusion, Holmes?
31135Well, what of it, Eustace? 31135 Well, what''ll I do first,--magnifying- glass or tape- measure?"
31135Well, what''s eating_ him_, the old duffer, I wonder?
31135Well, what''s on your mind, Eggie? 31135 Well, what''s_ your_ name, anyhow?
31135Well, who can say? 31135 Well, who said it was, you elongated chump?"
31135Well, why do n''t you wake up yourself, Doc? 31135 Well, why not?"
31135Well, will you let me go now? 31135 What are you doing with Luigi''s clothes on, by the way?
31135What are you wearing those valet''s clothes for, anyhow?
31135What earthly connection is there between your silly questions about the Earl''s cigars and the diamond- robbery, I should like to know?
31135What in thunder did you set it so early for, Holmes?
31135What is your name, madam?
31135What of it, Doc?
31135What''ll we do, you chump? 31135 What''s this stiff of a Holmes trying to hand you now, Launcie my boy?"
31135What''s your full name?
31135What''s your name, age, previous place of employment, and prison- record,--if any?
31135What''s your name, and what have you got to say about the disappearance of the diamonds?
31135What''s your name, antecedents, and knowledge as to the diamond- theft?
31135What''s your name, previous place of employment, and opinion as to the present location of the stolen cuff- buttons?
31135What''s your name, there?
31135What, are n''t you dead, George?
31135Where is the rascal now?
31135Where were you born?
31135Who did you think took them, anyhow? 31135 Whom do you suspect of having stolen the cuff- buttons?"
31135Why, have some of the Earl''s cigars been stolen, too, as well as the cuff- buttons?
31135Why, how should I know? 31135 Why, you old false alarm you,--do you think for a minute that you can bluff me like that?
31135Wo n''t you try some of the Ceylon tea I brought in, Holmes?
31135Would n''t that knock the specs off your grandmother''s nose?
31135Would you mind telling me just where this diamond cuff- button is hidden, now?
31135You do n''t think I''m so soft as all that, do you? 31135 You''re an original cuss,--aren''t you, Donald?
31135Your Lordship, what''s your own opinion as to the robbery?
31135Your what?
31135Again?"
31135All I said was:"What did you find?"
31135And Holmes winked at me, as he added:"Now, Mac, have you ever been in prison?"
31135And I suppose he claims that Billie Budd made him do it, against his better nature, like all the other simps you have jerked up, eh?"
31135And what do you know about the diamonds?"
31135Any other reason?
31135Anybody in particular?"
31135Are n''t you going to try to dope out an explanation of their disappearance?"
31135Are n''t you worrying about the Puddingham cuff- buttons at all?
31135Are you sure he''s dead, or are you only making another awkward mistake?
31135CHAPTER VI"Well, what''s your name, stupid?"
31135CHAPTER XIV"Well, what''ll you have, gentlemen?"
31135Ca n''t you see she''s coming out of her faint?
31135Can your secretary here be trusted to send the messages right, Earl?"
31135Do you get me, Steve?
31135Do you get me, Steve?"
31135Do you know anything about them?"
31135Do you really think that Hi would stoop so low as to swipe''Is Lawdship''s cuff- buttons?"
31135Er, what was that hother question you harsked me, sir?"
31135Got any idea who lifted the second and third pair,--any clues at all to the guilty wretches?"
31135Got the nightmare?
31135Harrigan administered the Tokay to Holmes, and then turned to me:"What''ll you have, Doctor Watson?"
31135Have you got the dope- needle with you?
31135Have you had any secret communications with him?
31135Holmes turned to me, with his customary irritating grin, and said:"Well, Doc; what did I tell you?
31135Holmes?"
31135How about it, eh?"
31135How are you going to account for them,--huh?"
31135How could he, when I grabbed them all?
31135How does that sound for a scheme?"
31135How in thunder did you get onto all that?"
31135How''s that for etymology?"
31135How''s that, eh?"
31135I was sent here to get results, and I''m going to get''em,--see?"
31135Is His Lordship dead?"
31135Is Uncle Tooter guilty too?
31135Is one of the women servants guilty also?"
31135Is that clear enough?"
31135Let you go now, and thereby give you a chance to warn your Greek accomplice in the gardens that I''ve got his note?
31135May I ask what your mother''s maiden name was?"
31135My wife?
31135My, but are n''t you the independent cuss, Heinie?
31135Nothing else, is there?
31135Now are you finished with me?"
31135Now will you forgive me?
31135Now, do you understand why I did n''t want to show you the little package?"
31135Now, when was the last time that the Earl smoked a Pampango cigar, and where was he at the time?"
31135Now, where were you all during Monday morning?"
31135Olaf put his tongue in his cheek, and winking at the false race- track follower, replied:"Vat you want to know for?
31135Say, Earl, have n''t you got a pack of cigarettes about your person that is n''t working?"
31135Say, fellows, how do I look in the valet''s togs?"
31135Shall I bring that?"
31135The Earl stepped to a speaking- tube on the wall and called downstairs to the butler:"Say, Harrigan, hurry us up a box of Havanas,--will you?"
31135The horses out in the stables, huh?"
31135Thereupon Holmes laid the glittering thing in the Earl''s hand, while that worthy fell back weakly in his chair and stammered:"What?
31135Thorneycroft, what do you know as to the probable guilty party?"
31135Turnips?"
31135Were n''t you up in the hayloft last Tuesday afternoon, Sam?
31135What did you mean by agreeing with me that it would seriously hurt your social standing, when all you were trying to conceal was a tea- packet, huh?"
31135What do you know about the affair?"
31135What in thunder did you ever get in such an enormous lot of the darned stuff for, anyhow?"
31135What was he doing up there, anyhow?"
31135What would you think of a man who would steal the Earl''s diamond cuff- buttons?"
31135What''s this wonderful horse''s name?"
31135When I yelled again, and shook him by the shoulder, he half opened his eyes and said:"Well, what''s eating you, Watson?
31135When the Earl had been sufficiently refreshed from a bottle that stood handy on a nearby table, Holmes began:"What is your full name?"
31135Where did you drop from, and what do you know about this affair?"
31135Where in this immediate vicinity did you see red clay like that before?"
31135Where were you born, and how did such an able man as yourself come to be working in this menagerie of lowbrows?"
31135Whom do I suspect?
31135Why did I ever leave it?"
31135Why did n''t you search his room the very first thing?"
31135Why did n''t you tell me this last Tuesday morning, when I interrogated you, among all the servants, huh?"
31135Why in the world did n''t you tell me about it before?
31135Would n''t that frost you?
31135You there, with the vacant look on your face, are you the Countess''s maid?"
31135You''re getting to be rather unreasonable, do n''t you think?"
31135_ Comprenez vous cela_, Mr. Hemlock Holmes of Baker Street, London, and Broadway, New York?"
33228Am I inconsequent, I wonder, or incoherent? 33228 And have you any knowledge of the finding of that ulster?"
33228And how about the plaid ulster,I asked;"did the man have it or any large bundle with him that might contain it?"
33228And how, then, do you think he got in on this night?
33228And if he should be friend, what then?
33228And pray what has the Inspector to do with them?
33228And so,said the Inspector,"you do n''t know him?
33228And what did you do next?
33228And where did he get this money?
33228And why should you wish to give evidence against him? 33228 And you did not go back that night?"
33228And you have read all about it too?
33228As late as one o''clock?
33228But if that were so, it might put the crime upon some man we know,Van Bult continued,"possibly even a friend and you can not think that?"
33228But was not Mr. White always very candid in speaking to you about Winters?
33228But,I asked,"what bearing could that have on the question any way?
33228But,I said, when I had recovered from my astonishment,"do you expect me to abandon the case altogether?"
33228Can you identify among the persons present the man who lost the fifty- dollar bill at your gambling table?
33228Certainly you do not intend to continue your search for evidence against him?
33228Did Mr. White have a latch- key to the house?
33228Did she have any key to his rooms?
33228Did you ever see it before or have you any knowledge of its owner?
33228Did you know this Miss Stanton, who testified to- day?
33228Do n''t you think,she said,"that people sometimes feel they are going to like each other before they have ever met?"
33228Do you believe it was Winters?
33228Do you know me?
33228Do you know what that trouble was?
33228Do you know whether he was in the habit of visiting her house often late in the evening?
33228Do you mean to say,Van Bult inquired,"that you believe the statement you made to the jury to be the true explanation of the murder?"
33228Do you mean to say,she answered in an indignant tone,"that you think I took them?"
33228Do you then know nothing at all that can help us in the case?
33228Do you think it would be really worth while or your duty, to do such a thing?
33228Do you think that likely?
33228Do you think you can find him?
33228Do you wish to go now?
33228Do you wish to question her?
33228Do you wish to speak to me privately?
33228Extraordinary, is n''t it,he said,"that Winters should have done it?
33228Had Winters a key?
33228Had you seen him on the evening or night before the ulster was found?
33228Hardly found your man, though?
33228Have you any idea,I asked, after a moment''s reflection,"who was the man the night- officer saw?"
33228Have you any knowledge of Mr. White or of any one else having been at your house late that night or any knowledge of how the ulster came there?
33228Have you been in to see him?
33228Henry Winters, do you mean?
33228How do you know that?
33228How soon do you suppose he will be tried?
33228How?
33228I admit its improbability,I acknowledged,"but is it not possible, nevertheless?"
33228If White,I asked, expressing my doubts to Miles,"took all the money out with him that night, as you say, what motive remains to explain the murder?"
33228Is he any worse than he was?
33228Is it true,I asked,"that Mr. White is dead?"
33228Is there anything I can do for you?
33228It is strange,I said,"is it not, that you and I should both be connected so closely with the circumstances of Arthur White''s death?"
33228It was through you, was it not, that its discovery was reported to the police?
33228Now see here, Dallas,said the speaker on observing me,"was n''t that about the finest worked- up case you ever saw?
33228Of what kind?
33228So I did,I admitted;"and how about the front door when you left, was that unfastened, too?"
33228So you think it was a fairy tale I told the jury, do you, Ned?
33228So you think there is no doubt of his guilt?
33228Thank you,said Miles;"were they found in the pocket of the ulster, do you know?"
33228The toast?
33228Then if it had been Winters, do you not think he would have spoken of him by name?
33228Then in case the door was locked,I said,"how could he have gotten in?"
33228Then it hardly seems likely that Winters was that man, does it?
33228Then you do n''t think Winters guilty?
33228Then you do not believe it was Winters?
33228Then,I continued,"why do you feel so sure that Winters killed him?"
33228Then,I said,"you adhere to the theory that the murderer took the ulster?"
33228This is Miss Stanton, I believe, Miss Belle Stanton?
33228Was he in the habit of visiting you and sometimes in the evening, rather late, perhaps?
33228Well,he said,"have you made any progress?"
33228What am I to do now, sir?
33228What for?
33228What have you to say to me?
33228What is that?
33228What is the matter?
33228What time was that?
33228What was that?
33228When?
33228Where do you live?
33228Who is he?
33228Who said that?
33228Who was that man?
33228Why did you not?
33228Why not go?
33228Why not hunt for the real criminal?
33228Why not?
33228Why, you have n''t any doubt about it, have you?
33228Will you join me?
33228Winters will probably be acquitted; White is past helping, and what could be gained by offering up a friend as a sacrifice?
33228Yes, I have known him for about a year; and the questions and answers continued in rapid succession:"Was he a particular friend of yours?"
33228Yes,he said,"do you know him?"
33228You dine alone, sir, to- night?
33228You had rather ride with me than ride alone, had you not?
33228After looking at me in a surprised way, he asked:"If he did n''t kill him, sir, who did?"
33228As I arose from the table, Brown pulled back my chair saying:"I hope dinner pleased you, sir?"
33228Awful clever of the police, too, to ferret it out so soon, do n''t you think so?"
33228Bunce?"
33228Could I do this?
33228Did you read the testimony in the''Extra''this evening?
33228Do you see him?"
33228Do you think him guilty?"
33228Do you think you would know him if you saw him again?"
33228Have I not troubles enough of my own?"
33228Have you anything to say?"
33228He hesitated before he asked:"Do you mean to tell him?"
33228He leaned forward and put his hand on my arm, but I shook it off and straightened myself--"What news?"
33228He said,"No,"and then added bitterly:"Why should I wish to see him?
33228How about them?"
33228How can I get a lawyer?"
33228How do you mean it was unlatched?"
33228How long, now, had you lived with him?"
33228How should I treat him?
33228I concurred heartily in his opinion;"And what further can I do to help you?"
33228I could feel Miles was looking at me and could read my thoughts and thought me a coward, but what did it matter to me then?
33228I repeated,--for he had not answered me,--"what news?"
33228I want you to tell this jury, and tell them upon the solemn oath you have taken, had you any hand in your cousin''s death or any knowledge of it?"
33228Is it not possible on the contrary that he left it somewhere and returned without it?"
33228Is there any evidence of a motive?"
33228It was almost a sigh of relief that escaped from the audience, but Dalton continued:"Then how did you meet him and when?"
33228She looked him over carelessly as she replied:"I thought he was doing his best just now; he seems a little blown, does he not?"
33228Such being the case why should he not be innocent?
33228The authorities would be content to let it pass with the death of Winters into the long category of undetermined crimes and why should not I also?
33228Van Bult was the first to speak:"What is the matter with White?"
33228Was there something in the background which I did not know and which they did not wish me to learn?
33228What business had Dalton indulging in gallantry and platitudes when engaged on an official investigation that involved life and death?
33228What irony of fate had brought this man-- the one I wished least of all to see-- to me at this moment?
33228What should I say to him?
33228What was I to say to this man who was pleading to me with his eyes for encouragement, for hope?
33228When Winters had taken his place, the clerk read the indictment on arraignment and then put the usual question:"Are you guilty or not guilty?"
33228Where is it gone?"
33228Who was he?
33228Why should he not have disposed in some way of all but the one bill during his absence?
33228Will you both consent to abide by my decision?"
33228Would an analysis of the facts and testimony afford the opportunity?
33228Would the explanation be satisfactory?
33228Would you, if it were one of us three, your friends, upon whom you fixed this crime, give him over to the gallows?"
33228it was Van Bult, was it?
28071''My duty?'' 28071 ''Wanting to draw money?''
28071A board?
28071A chessboard?
28071A tourniquet?
28071A trap?
28071Ah, indeed,Hewitt responded,"whose is it?
28071Am I bothering you?
28071And do you never entrust the keys to anybody else?
28071And how is poor Miss Creswick by now, doctor?
28071And is that all you know of his movements?
28071And now you are having Telfer supervised?
28071And the man killed in the barn?
28071And the mark on the forehead?
28071And the office boy-- can''t you get some information out of him?
28071And then you discovered your loss?
28071And this was some time this morning?
28071And when did you last open the box before that?
28071And when was Mr. Bowmore seen next?
28071And when was the man knocked over?
28071And who? 28071 And you got nothing more from him than that?"
28071Are you on the bond robbery, now?
28071Are you sure that you have forgotten nothing that has happened since you first arrived--_nothing at all_?
28071As you say, where is he? 28071 Asking for me?"
28071At any rate,interrupted Hewitt,"you''ve got the number of the cab?"
28071Badly burnt, I believe?
28071Brett,he exclaimed,"are you engaged this afternoon?"
28071But I have n''t misread it, have I? 28071 But Telfer, to- day?
28071But can a person be hypnotised against his will?
28071But how?
28071But if Peytral is n''t dead, where is he?
28071But now that you know it is taken, surely the code can be changed?
28071But then,I protested,"if it is n''t his body whose is it?"
28071But was n''t he there at all?
28071But what of that triangular mark on the man''s forehead?
28071But what,I said,"what is this mystery?
28071But when you found the empty room, and the case, what did you do? 28071 But why,"asked the astonished rector,"why did he come back?"
28071But you do n''t suspect burglary, do you?
28071But, if terror, why that outburst? 28071 By Mayes?"
28071By name?
28071By the way, what was the external appearance of the missing code?
28071By which he meant he might sell them diamonds?
28071By your watch?
28071Catherton Hunt?
28071China? 28071 Denson?
28071Did Grant say what he was doing in the wood?
28071Did he dress for dinner?
28071Did you ask about the address given to the bank?
28071Did you direct any inquiries after Denson?
28071Did you get any information out of the man in the hospital?
28071Did you look about anywhere for Denson-- in the street, or what not?
28071Did you never see that before in a burnt house?
28071Do n''t you guess? 28071 Do you expect him back there, then?"
28071Do you know the name of the murderer?
28071Do you mean you can do nothing?
28071Do you see the tin ferrule?
28071Do you think he will tell me?
28071Does n''t go to the house? 28071 Does that key fit them all?
28071Does that mean that the murderer has got them?
28071Go on? 28071 Have you got a window we can watch it from?"
28071Here the footprints part,Hewitt observed, musingly;"and what does that mean?
28071How do you know?
28071How?
28071I do n''t know Channel Marsh, do you? 28071 I looked up from the paper, and he went on,''Have you read it?
28071I suppose,Plummer began,"it''s no use asking if you''ve heard anything more of that matter of Denson''s murder?"
28071I? 28071 If you and your partner were out, and one of the clerks came in_ without_ being sent for, the rest would know it, of course?"
28071Is it Mr. Martin Hewitt?
28071Is it very bad?
28071Is n''t it possible that the diamonds are purely imaginary?
28071Is that all?
28071Is that so?
28071Is that the place where you intend waiting to- night?
28071Is there any paint or varnish of any sort in the place?
28071It_ may_ mean that,he said,"but does it look altogether like it when five- pound notes are left?
28071Its loss is a very serious thing, of course?
28071Man, do n''t you see they''ve been boot- buttons? 28071 May I examine it?"
28071May he come up here?
28071May we see that cheque, if you please?
28071Might n''t there be some trick played on that basis? 28071 Mr. Martin Hewitt?"
28071Mr. Victor Peytral, I believe?
28071Murder?
28071Myatt? 28071 Need we wait for him?"
28071No-- what was the good? 28071 Not Myatt?"
28071Not dead?
28071Nothing was suspected of the murder, it seems, till yesterday morning?
28071Now, Hutt,said Martin Hewitt,"you were saying yesterday, I think, that the main front door was the only entrance and exit for this building?"
28071Now, is that anything like the case?
28071Oh, you did? 28071 Oh,"I said,"in a hansom, was it?
28071Only this morning?
28071Peytral?
28071Rather an unusual visitor, is n''t he? 28071 See?"
28071Shall I give you the heads of the case, or will you come to the Admiralty and see for yourself?
28071Suppose,he said,"_ that Mr. Victor Peytral is not dead after all_?"
28071That is the safe in which it was kept, I presume?
28071The alternative?
28071Then what are the arrangements?
28071There is nothing else to tell me, then?
28071There''s a matter-- but who is this?
28071There''s only my own family at home and the servants and----"Anybody who has access to this room of the office?
28071To join you?
28071Was anything found-- the diamonds?
28071Was this what you were going to tell us about?
28071Well, Brett,he said,"what''s the report?
28071Well,I asked eagerly, almost before my friend had entered,"have you got him at last?"
28071Well,inquired McCarthy,"what do you make of it?"
28071Well?
28071Were Mayes''s victims marked in that way in Hayti?
28071What are we to do?
28071What do you mean? 28071 What dreadful influence can thus compass a man about, here in London, in these times?"
28071What is it all-- what can it be?
28071What is it, then?
28071What is it?
28071What sort of place is this Channel Marsh?
28071What was it that Denson feared when he left those diamonds behind him, when he might have carried them away? 28071 What''s this?"
28071What? 28071 Who is this late visitor at this unvisited house?"
28071Who?
28071Why is he going out? 28071 Why not forty of us?"
28071Why should Mayes need to send his confederate instructions by written note? 28071 Why?"
28071Will you do me a small favour? 28071 Will you go now?"
28071Without telling anybody else?
28071Yes?
28071You had had no occasion to go to the safe in the meantime?
28071You have not told her, then?
28071You mean that he may have some address in Holloway,suggested Plummer,"and we may get it from the bank?"
28071You mean you let them out of your sight?
28071You were not in the room the whole of the time, of course?
28071You''ve still got that piece of paper in your pocket, I suppose,he said,"with the little red smudges of colour put there by the police surgeon?"
28071_ Will_ you stop making a show of me?
28071''But what-- did you know this man, Denson?''
28071''Cause why?
28071''Cos why?
28071''Has he been here this evening?''
28071''What is it you think this unfortunate man was trying to escape?
28071''Wo n''t you sit down?''
280718 Norbury Row?"
28071Ai n''t they the p''lice?
28071Ai n''t they the police?
28071Am I right?"
28071An oath, we will say, made previously, without any foreknowledge of the crime?''
28071And another thing-- don''t you see what_ those_ things mean?"
28071And as you said before, who is the dead man?
28071And is this gamekeeper Grant in the same employ as yourself?"
28071And so you sent for me at once, as soon as you discovered the loss?"
28071And they were all right?"
28071And what am I to do in the matter?''
28071And what happened?
28071And when you realised your loss what did you do?
28071And who knows what scouts he may have out?
28071And why is that?"
28071And why should he fear it in daytime and not at night, since it would seem plain that he meant to have returned for the stones at night?
28071And why was the body placed in that conspicuous position?
28071And you took all your keys with you, I presume?"
28071Anywhere else?"
28071At a quarter- past two-- that was about it, I think?"
28071At any rate, he knocked up the manager and told him that he had a sudden need for money that very night; could he have some?
28071Besides, an accomplice would have taken the keys and have gone and secured the diamonds for himself; else why the murder at all?
28071But I am rather in a hurry, and perhaps you can tell me?"
28071But I hope you''ve had some luck yourself?"
28071But I''m boring you-- you do n''t want to know all these things, surely?"
28071But can you start now?
28071But have you found anything more?
28071But if on the other hand, as he fully anticipated, Sims was arrested, what then?
28071But to pegin-- a good fit- out of tiamonts, eh?''
28071But what did you see?"
28071But what has it all to do----""To do with Samuel and his diamonds, you mean?
28071But what have you got there?"
28071But what, then, of the noughts?
28071But who''d have thought o''such a thing beforehand?
28071But whose sign is it?
28071But why in this case particularly?"
28071But why should such an apparently unimportant thing as that be carefully brought from the waste- paper basket and burnt?
28071But why take all the trouble?
28071But why the key of the hose- cupboard?
28071But you''ll be careful of it, wo n''t you?
28071By whom?
28071Can he have been murdered by an accomplice?
28071Can he reach it?"
28071Could it be possible that this man had anything to tell about Mayes?
28071Could n''t you see the colour of the man under the eyes, and the shaking of his beard?
28071Could this be the key of some private exit from the office building?
28071D''you hear?
28071Denson?"
28071Did he get into the brougham this time?"
28071Did my daughter tell you why she sent Mr. Bowmore after me on Thursday night?"
28071Did n''t I assure you we were watched last night?
28071Did the carriage go off?"
28071Did you ever hear of Alexandre Dumas?"
28071Do n''t you see the possibilities of the case_ now_?"
28071Do n''t you see the possibilities of the thing?
28071Do n''t you think that likely?''
28071Do n''t you want any little agencies done?
28071Do they ever come into this room?"
28071Do you care to give a quotation for binding at per thousand crown octavo volumes in paste grain, plain, with lettering on back?"
28071Do you happen to have a piece of Denson''s writing about you?"
28071Do you happen to have the key with you?"
28071Do you know it?"
28071Do you know this Norbury Row, Plummer?"
28071Do you know what drew my attention to the murders of the men Denson and Mason, and so set me thinking?
28071Do you mind giving Mr. Hewitt any information he may ask?
28071Do you remember how poor Mason was watched?
28071Do you remember that in the black rebellion of 1865, there was a traitorous white man among the negroes?
28071Do you see what is here?"
28071Do you think you''d be cool enough to do it without arousing suspicion?
28071Do you understand that?
28071Do you want the key, too?"
28071Eh, Plummer?"
28071For me the question is, was I sanest then or now?
28071For where could he use them?
28071Had Denson some other office?
28071Had n''t we better go and see if your telegram is answered, Mr. Hewitt?
28071Has Peytral given you the tip he half promised?"
28071Has he any friends connected with China, for instance?"
28071Have they got him?"
28071Have you any of his written figures for comparison?"
28071Have you found anything else?"
28071Have you got it?"
28071Have you seen the report?"
28071He knows nothing essential, of course?"
28071Hewitt closed the gate behind him and said as he walked,"Where is the rectory?
28071How did it come to your knowledge?"
28071How long has he been gone?"
28071How long were you kept waiting?"
28071How long will it take him from that gate to the ruin?"
28071How many fire- hose cupboards are there?"
28071How often is this cupboard opened?"
28071How''s your wrist?"
28071How?"
28071I suppose I must n''t?"
28071I suppose you did n''t know Mr. Peytral, my master, that''s dead?"
28071I think you said you were engaged with a client for half an hour?"
28071I wonder if he knows my name?"
28071If it were terror, why not rather welcome our company and help?"
28071If you want to be on the scene of action to- night at twelve, you must get leave from your editor, must n''t you?
28071Insensible, you say, when you left?"
28071Inspector Plummer is in charge of the case-- you remember Plummer, do n''t you, in the Stanway Cameo case, and two or three others?
28071Is Mr. Denson in?"
28071Is he an intelligent man?"
28071Is it far?"
28071Is it far?"
28071Is it true?
28071Is that the fact?"
28071Is there a back staircase?"
28071Is there a speaking tube?
28071Is there any objection?"
28071Is there one on this floor?"
28071It''s odd, is n''t it?"
28071It''s plain enough it''s a brutal murder, is n''t it?
28071Lawson?"
28071Looks as though he had n''t quite got his story ready yet, does n''t it?
28071Man[oe]uvring-- or what?"
28071More than that, if this were the work of an accomplice why did n''t he get the jewels?
28071Mr. Brett, do you begin to perceive that I do not boast when I tell of powers beyond your understanding?"
28071Mr. Hewitt quite right?"
28071Mr. Hewitt, I think I read in the papers that you were in some way engaged in the extraordinary case of the murder of Mr. Jacob Mason?"
28071Must you take it with you?
28071Nor the police?"
28071Now that fact offers fresh suggestions, does n''t it?"
28071Now that note was written in a cypher which Mayes knew was as plain as print-- to whom?
28071Now why should he do that?
28071Now you have probably heard something of Hayti, and of the common state of affairs there?"
28071Now, Hutt, do you happen to have a key like that also?"
28071Now, are there any other ways into this room than by that door into the corridor?
28071Now, what can all that mean?
28071Oh, what shall I do?"
28071One thing to find out is, what is the building behind?
28071Perhaps I can give you a lift in my cab?"
28071Perhaps you would like to be with them?
28071Plummer?"
28071Plummer?"
28071Potswood?"
28071Potswood?"
28071Quite enough, do n''t you think?
28071Samuel,''he says,''was n''t you afraid my customer and me would hook it out o''the window with all your stones?''
28071Say,''Oh, Mr. Brown''--or Jones, or what not--''have you some keys about you?''
28071See here-- do you know whose figures they are?"
28071See the mark?
28071See?"
28071Send for the police?"
28071Shall I fetch it?"
28071So far, do you see any more in it than I do?"
28071So that you open the safe every morning yourself and close it at night?"
28071So you have told nobody of the loss, except me?"
28071Some are out at lunch by this time, probably?"
28071Surely not that of some self- constituted punisher of crime?
28071That does n''t seem likely, does it, on the facts as we know them?"
28071That is the whole matter in brief, I take it?"
28071That would be technical enough, I think?"
28071That''s pretty striking, eh?"
28071The second telegram, which came even as Hewitt was reading the first, on his arrival at his office, ran thus:--/#"Did you receive telegram?
28071Then you could see the American''s hat hanging up just by the window-- rum hat, ai n''t it?''
28071They say our poor friend-- but there has been an arrest, has n''t there?"
28071They told you last night, I suppose, that Peytral had business, and had gone off?"
28071They will have their rewards if they are faithful, of course; if not-- well, you remember Denson in the Samuel diamond business?
28071This-- this murder?
28071Told your partner first, I suppose?"
28071Very well, then, why ca n''t the police send enough men to surround the place and capture him for certain?"
28071Was it his design, having accumulated sufficient wealth, to return and take his natural place among the enlightened rulers of Hayti?
28071Was it murder or was it suicide by post- hypnotic suggestion?
28071We speak in confidence, of course, as client and professional man?"
28071What are the greatest powers among men on this earth?
28071What are they?"
28071What are you now?
28071What but a chessboard?"
28071What can be his motive?"
28071What can they mean?
28071What could we do?
28071What did I say?"
28071What did that suggest?
28071What do you think?
28071What do you think?"
28071What does it mean?
28071What does that mean?
28071What door?
28071What had he done to give himself over to such a power?"
28071What has happened to him?
28071What is it?"
28071What is that?"
28071What is this unspeakable thing which has him in its clutches?
28071What next?"
28071What next?"
28071What then?"
28071What was he doing?"
28071What was his name?"
28071What was it?"
28071What was that?
28071What''s that for?"
28071What_ can_ I do?''
28071Where did he go to disguise himself yesterday-- we know it was not in his lodgings-- and where has he left the clothes he discarded?"
28071Where did you get it?"
28071Where did you get it?''
28071Where is your inspector?"
28071Where were the bonds taken from?"
28071Where''s that fool of a policeman?
28071Which is the nearest empty office-- the nearest office to let?
28071Whither had this ragged messenger been going with the mysterious package, and who had sent him, and why?
28071Who are they?"
28071Who carried a colour- box and a sketch- book?
28071Who could this have been, and why did Denson fear him?
28071Who discovered it?"
28071Who is the dead man, and where is Peytral, and why has he gone?
28071Why did Telfer give up the code, and what is the power that Mayes talks of?"
28071Why go and risk yourself as you talk of doing?
28071Why not stick to the plunder from the beginning?
28071Why that?
28071Why, Mason, my poor friend, do n''t you know me?"
28071Why, especially when the note was already written in so baffling a cypher?
28071Why, if any person wished to send a note and a key in a closed envelope, should he take the trouble to pack the note inside the key?
28071Why, indeed, should he leave the diamonds behind him at all?
28071Why?
28071Why?"
28071Will that do?
28071Will you give me a note to your friend McCarthy?"
28071Will you lunch with me at my club?"
28071Will you two go on to Norbury Row?
28071With scarcely a preliminary word he burst out,''Have you seen this in the paper?
28071Would you care for me to come?"
28071You do n''t happen to have any more, do you?"
28071You do n''t remember ever mislaying the keys temporarily, I suppose, either here or at home?"
28071You have a man or two with you, I suppose, as I suggested?"
28071You have no doubt about locking the safe door at 10.20, I suppose, before you went to the Controller''s room?"
28071You remember we could find no trace of a banking account when the police raided and ransacked Calton Lodge after Mason was killed?
28071You remember what the coachman said?
28071You will go?"
28071You wish me to see Mason at once, no doubt?"
28071You''ll come in again to- morrow, then?"
28071You''ve heard no more of that fellow-- Myatt, Hunt, Mayes, whatever his name is last-- since the barn murder, of course?
28071_ That dead man is Denson!_""Denson?"
28071d''y''ear?''
28071he cried, with a sudden burst of excitement,"where did you get this?
28071his actual name?"
28071then there_ is_ another, then?"
28448''Have you a little radio in your home?''
28448''Patient''?
28448''The witch''?
28448A girl you and Amy knew?
28448A lady in the case, eh?
28448A slack wire? 28448 About what?"
28448Again I ask,repeated Amy, more earnestly,"_ how_ could that girl, whoever she is, get to a sending station?
28448Ai n''t I always hungry? 28448 Ai n''t I hungry?"
28448Ai n''t what?
28448Ain''t-- ain''t there ghosts there?
28448Am I going to sure- enough keep''em to wear Sundays?
28448And I suppose your brother, Darrington, is over here, too?
28448And I thought you did not want to be considered a burglar?
28448And if we win it, shall we divide the coat between us?
28448And leave me here?
28448And one boy called out:''Say, Mister, if the angels had wings why did they walk up and down Jacob''s ladder?''
28448And why do you suppose, Jess, folks always have to suggest that girls ca n''t do what boys can? 28448 And you do n''t know what Bertha was afraid of?"
28448And you think there can be nothing done for that other girl?
28448And-- haven''t-- you seen her before?
28448Another idea?
28448Are n''t you going to do it?
28448Are n''t you hungry, honey?
28448Are n''t you scared, child?
28448Are you sure that was the woman who ran off with the girl?
28448Are you? 28448 Are-- are you the ha''nt?"
28448Because she did n''t give you enough to eat?
28448Bertha Blair?
28448Bertha who?
28448Big Bertha?
28448But about Bertha?
28448But have n''t you any money?
28448But once,Jessie suggested,"you had a chance to try to send out a cry for help?"
28448But what is this revived interest that you want to take up?
28448But where do you suppose they took Bertha-- if it was Henrietta''s cousin we saw carried off?
28448But why do n''t they give the alarm?
28448But you say that maybe they could have rigging for the station without any aerials in the open?
28448But you think she might have come this way?
28448But-- but----how could she get at any sending station to tell her troubles to-- to the air?
28448Ca n''t you find her?
28448Could they find it, do you think, Jessie?
28448Did Bertha Blair work for a woman named Poole?
28448Did I ever bring to your attention, Miss Drew----"Why do n''t you say''drew''to my attention?
28448Did I hear you say something, Belle?
28448Did he go out on that yacht? 28448 Did it bite you?"
28448Did n''t I show you the lightning switch?
28448Did n''t you know her when she passed, Jess?
28448Did n''t you read that magazine article?
28448Did you come to see me?
28448Did you ever hear the like?
28448Did you ever?
28448Did you see her, Jess?
28448Did you think she looked like an orphan?
28448Do I feel like a ghost? 28448 Do n''t I tell you_ yes_?"
28448Do n''t even want us to help you?
28448Do n''t the Foleys treat you kindly?
28448Do n''t you believe me?
28448Do n''t you know it''s afire?
28448Do n''t you see what I see, Amy Drew?
28448Do n''t you suppose we girls know anything at all, Darry?
28448Do n''t you think that place looked deserted?
28448Do you hear that?
28448Do you know what the dear doctor says? 28448 Do you know who owns the farm over there by the track?
28448Do you speak of the car or the lady?
28448Do you suppose I stopped to count them? 28448 Do you suppose the police knew that that woman was sending racing news to gambling rooms from up there at her farm?"
28448Do you think that girl sounded as though she were joking?
28448Do you think we shall wear out the radio, honey?
28448Do you wear these pants all the time?
28448Do-- do you see anything?
28448Does n''t your father know the roads, too?
28448Forgot what?
28448Have I heard anything before about a girl being carried away?
28448Having all those wires outside the house? 28448 Here, in Roselawn?"
28448How can they, when wireless telegraphy has been known so long?
28448How can we? 28448 How dare they?"
28448How do you know they did? 28448 How does an orphan look?"
28448How shall we find out-- how shall we?
28448How will you fix it, then?
28448How you going to tune her, Jess?
28448I guess you folks ai n''t, has you?
28448I guess you''d like to have a new dress, would n''t you, Henrietta?
28448Is it a cape- coat suit?
28448Is it a trapeze? 28448 Is it anything I can do for you?"
28448Is it that Ellison case, Robert?
28448Is n''t it better than our talking machine? 28448 Is n''t it exciting?"
28448Is n''t she the bravest little thing?
28448Is n''t that always the way when we come up here to the Norwoods''? 28448 Is n''t that too bad?"
28448Is she hanging around here yet?
28448Is that all sure enough so, Jess?
28448Is there anything, I''d like to know, that girls ca n''t beat boys at?
28448Is this radio business like a talking machine?
28448Is_ this_ what started you girls off at such a tearing pace? 28448 Just the same,"she told Amy afterward, when they were in the automobile once more,"Blair is not such a common name, do you think?"
28448Just to let you admire Dogtown, I suppose?
28448Just what did you come for, Belle?
28448Know him, girls? 28448 Let me see-- what time was it?"
28448Of course you did not hear anything about her when you searched up and down the boulevard the other day?
28448Oh, Jess, dear,_ are_ you going to have a radio?
28448Oh, but, Robert,said Mrs. Norwood,"do you think the two girls can do that work?"
28448Oh, would n''t it be fun to get a chance to work at a broadcasting station?
28448Say we go?
28448She ca n''t eat the snakes, can she?
28448So she''ll have to shut her eyes if she wants to know you, will she, kid?
28448So you can not prophesy, can you? 28448 Something funny, I suppose?"
28448Suppose it should be the girl whom we saw carried off by those two awful women?
28448Suppose what is safe, dear?
28448Sure you did n''t see any aerial, Darry?
28448Tell us,she said,"why you think your cousin was carried off?"
28448Tell you what,he said, looking at Burd,"we''ll hang around long enough to ride over to the stock farm with the girls, sha''n''t we?"
28448The child has n''t been up to see you at all, has she?
28448The lost girl, Bertha?
28448The old Gandy stock farm, Miss?
28448The radio afire?
28448The thunder struck?
28448Them ai n''t for_ me_?
28448Then do n''t you think, Jessie, the fact that it is a broadcasting plant where the girl is imprisoned must narrow the inquiry a good deal?
28448They''ll be longer and more important than the antenna for the usual receiving set, wo n''t they?
28448Wart and all?
28448Was she dark and thin and-- and waspish looking?
28448We do not know what it was all about, my dear, so why worry our minds? 28448 We were not expecting anybody, were we?"
28448Well, they are going to be regular road- agents, are n''t they?
28448Well, to Mrs. Foley''s house in a big maroon automobile?
28448What Bertha are you looking for?
28448What are they doing to you, child?
28448What are they-- road pirates? 28448 What are we going to hear?"
28448What are you going to charge for admission?
28448What are you panting for, Amy?
28448What can I do for you, young ladies?
28448What could he say?
28448What do you know about that?
28448What do you mean?
28448What do you say that for?
28448What do you say?
28448What do you suppose is the matter, Jess?
28448What do you think of that?
28448What do you think you can do more than they have done?
28448What do you think, Jess? 28448 What girl was this?"
28448What happened to her that she wanted to leave that dreadful fat woman?
28448What happened?
28448What is her name and what has she done?
28448What is it, Belle, honey?
28448What is it, a conundrum? 28448 What is it?
28448What is it?
28448What is that?
28448What is that?
28448What is the desperate need for a father?
28448What is the matter with the girl?
28448What is the matter, Jess?
28448What is the wave length?
28448What is there crazy about trying to help somebody who certainly must be in trouble? 28448 What is this?"
28448What scared you?
28448What seems to be the trouble, ladies? 28448 What time is it, Darry?"
28448What were they trying to do to you?
28448What will you do?
28448What wo n''t you kids do next?
28448What you want?
28448What''s going on in there? 28448 What''s happened to that child?
28448What''s it all about?
28448What''s that?
28448What''s the matter with you and Jess, Amy Drew? 28448 What''s the matter with you, Amy Drew?
28448What''s the matter with you, Sis?
28448What?
28448What_ can_ it be?
28448Where did you leave that_ Marigold_?
28448Where is he?
28448Where you going, Jess?
28448Where''s Hen?
28448Where''s the sun gone?
28448Who are you talking about?
28448Who was?
28448Why did you come here to ask for your Cousin Bertha?
28448Why do n''t you put it out?
28448Why not to the Bahamas, Darry?
28448Why not, for mercy''s sake?
28448Why not? 28448 Why not?
28448Why not?
28448Why should we care?
28448Wo n''t it be great if they ever get pocket radios?
28448Would n''t you rather have it downstairs-- in the drawing- room, for instance?
28448Would you go, Amy?
28448You got a job for me up here?
28448You know what Amy says? 28448 You let me know how you get on building it, will you?"
28448You never are at home, are you?
28448You''re just as sure as sure, are n''t you?
28448You''ve seen them cape- suits that''s come into fashion this year, ai n''t you? 28448 Your clients are likely to lose their share, then?"
28448All_ that_?''"
28448Am I not to be allowed to go calling?"
28448And a real estate office?"
28448And have you come to take me away?"
28448And have you washed the dishes like I told you?"
28448And how had the boys managed to stay a whole year at Yale without being asked to leave for the good of the undergraduate body?
28448And now, is there any little boy or any little girl who would like to answer that question?''
28448And she lets you call her out o''name?
28448And what were the girls doing in their present fetching costumes?
28448And who will give the lecture?"
28448And without taking any of us girls?"
28448Are we to have a summer circus in Roselawn?"
28448Are you Bertha Blair?"
28448Are you sure they are dead, Henrietta?"
28448At this announcement Belle Ringold actually cried out:"What''s that?"
28448Blair?"
28448Blair?"
28448Blair?"
28448But Jessie shook her head at her chum warningly, and asked the man:"Do you know if Mrs. Poole is at the place now?"
28448But do you suppose it is safe?"
28448But how could she see into those buildings that are all shut up any better than we could when we were over there?"
28448But me lecture?
28448But the kids got to be fed first, ai n''t they?
28448But what has that to do with little Henrietta?
28448But, do you remember, we met that Mrs. Bothwell again in the big French car that very evening?"
28448By the way, who is going to pay for it?"
28448CHAPTER XV CAN IT BE POSSIBLE?
28448Ca n''t you tear yourself away, Darry?"
28448Can It Be Possible?
28448Can you beat it?"
28448Could Bertha be the girl you are looking for?"
28448Did n''t she?"
28448Did n''t you feel and hear it?
28448Did we introduce you to Belle?
28448Did you ever see a place like that when you have been riding about the country?"
28448Did you have trouble with yours, Jess?"
28448Did you hear her beg us not to let them take her back-- back----""Back where?"
28448Did you see the child''s hands?
28448Did you try that door, Darry?"
28448Do n''t they always put orphans in blue denim?"
28448Do n''t you hear me?
28448Do n''t you recognize an aerial when you see it?"
28448Do n''t you remember?
28448Do n''t you see it is printed here?"
28448Do n''t you think we might get Henrietta, take her over to the Gandy place, and look around again for Bertha?"
28448Do you believe that cry for help was from little Hen''s cousin?"
28448Do you hear that?"
28448Do you know what she said?"
28448Do you know, Darry, Jess is bound to find that lost girl we were telling you about?
28448Do you suppose so?"
28448Do you think----?"
28448Foley?"
28448Ghosts?"
28448Has your radio set got an amplifier, Jess?"
28448Have n''t you any money?"
28448Have they gone out in the_ Marigold_?"
28448Have you actually got me in here without being able to pay for this cream?"
28448Have you seen a couple of young ladies around here who have just finished their junior year at the New Melford High with flying colors?
28448He twisted around in his seat to say:"Why did n''t you ask Blair about it?
28448Hear that thumping, will you?"
28448How can we find her?"
28448How had the girls finished their high- school year?
28448How many snakes are there, Jess?"
28448How should we like to wear nothing but second- hand clothes?"
28448I am going to get that talk on''Hairpins and Haricots''by that extremely funny newspaper man-- what is his name?"
28448I wonder if Doctor Stanley or Nell knows that the house is on fire?"
28448I wonder if he''d get it?"
28448If she is hidden away over there at that Gandy farm, how shall we ever find it out for sure?"
28448If the poor girl is shut up here----""Where?"
28448If your radio is n''t finished, Jess, why ca n''t you and Amy come with us?
28448Is Chip here?"
28448Is it a human being or an animal?"
28448Is it a joke or a conundrum?"
28448Is it an angel she''s turned into?
28448Is it an insect?"
28448Is it static interference?"
28448Is n''t there a village near?
28448Is n''t this good, Jess?"
28448Is that Miss Amy Drew?"
28448It will enable us to make the far end of the aerials higher than my window-- you see?"
28448JEALOUSY CAN IT BE POSSIBLE?
28448Jess suddenly exclaimed,"if I get my radio rigged why ca n''t we communicate with the_ Marigold_ when it is at sea?"
28448Jessie demanded:"Who are those awful children, Henrietta?"
28448Kidnapers?"
28448Maybe they wo n''t let poor folks like those in Dogtown have radios?
28448Momsy wants to see her in these new clothes, and----""Well, if Mrs. Momsy-- Or is it Mr. Momsy, I dunno?"
28448Now, Amy, do you understand what there is to do?"
28448Or do the Hertzian waves come through the ground, as some say?"
28448Or is she an heiress, I dunno?
28448Or should they aid the fleshy woman?
28448SPOTTED SNAKE, THE WITCH BROADCASTING CHAPTER XVI SPOTTED SNAKE, THE WITCH"What are they trying to do to that poor child?"
28448See it?"
28448See that thing moving down there by the woods?
28448Shall we ever catch up on our regular rations, Burd?"
28448She tore off the ear- tabs and demanded:"What_ are_ you doing, Jess?
28448She turned to the fleshy woman, and repeated her question:"What is the matter with the girl?"
28448Should she lift it?
28448Should they help the screaming girl?
28448So he said:"''And now, is there any little boy or any little girl who would like to ask me a question?''
28448So she is a race track follower, is she?"
28448So you want to take little Hen away from me?"
28448Somebody must explain and manage the entertainment in the radio tent, and who better than Jessie?
28448Something about''Take care of the dollars and the cents will take care of themselves?''"
28448Suppose her mother had been frightened by the thunder and lightning and should pay for it with one of her long and torturing sick headaches?
28448The Gandy place?"
28448The question now was, had Bertha stolen her way into the tower at that time, or was she held prisoner there?
28448They came pouring out of that dark stairway----""Where_ is_ the child?"
28448This woman----""Please tell me her name?"
28448Was the_ Marigold_ a real yacht, or just a row- boat with a kicker behind?
28448Was there something supernatural on the stairway?
28448Well, we do n''t know her or the woman who took her, do we?"
28448Were you trying to slip out without paying Nick?
28448What are they ever doing?"
28448What can you do with a young one like that?"
28448What do the doctors know about eating?"
28448What do you think, Chapman?"
28448What do you think, Daddy?
28448What is the first move?"
28448What is the matter?"
28448What is the wonder?"
28448What is your name?
28448What was her name-- Bertha?"
28448What''s in a name, anyhow?"
28448What''s that?"
28448When and where did she run away from the women?
28448Where are the snakes, Jessie?"
28448Where is the radio?
28448Where you going now?"
28448Who is this young person who may be Bertha but who probably is not?"
28448Who said anything about the Alps?"
28448Who walks it-- you or Jess?"
28448Whoever said Burd Alling had good sense?"
28448Why do n''t you write Darry a note and leave it at the house?"
28448Why, you remember when he went to Bridgeton a month ago to speak at the local Sunday School Union?
28448Why?
28448Will they?"
28448Will they?"
28448Will you boys come along?"
28448Will you ever have sense?"
28448Wireless?"
28448Wo n''t you like me a little, Henrietta?"
28448You crazy?"
28448You do n''t mean it is as easy as all that?"
28448You here, too?"
28448You mean Mr. Abel Ellison?
28448You mean the girl you saw put in the automobile and taken away?
28448You never cleaned out the stove- grate, did you?"
28448You two girls?
28448You wo n''t refuse to let her see Bertha, will you?"
28448You, Amy Drew, suggesting such a horrid thing?
28448can it be possible, do you think?"
28448cried Belle, languishingly,"you wo n''t leave us?"
28448do n''t you suppose we have come to the right place?"
28448drawled Amy, her eyes twinkling,"you do n''t mean to buy the Gandy farm, do you?"
28448how did you come to think of that?"
28448is this little Hennie?
28448is_ that_ all I get?''
28448she cried,"you do not know much about this radio business, do you?"
28448was n''t you one of the girls, Miss, that saw Mrs. Poole putting me into that car?"
28448what''s the meaning of this parade?
28448where were our wits?
29852A phonograph?
29852A sleep walker?
29852About the snuff box, of course?
29852After you finished questioning the man, what did you do then?
29852Ah, so you have come to your senses, have you?
29852And beyond that, you know nothing?
29852And left your husband alone, with the snuff box in his possession?
29852And that fellow in there?
29852And the bedroom?
29852And the note?
29852And you close your shop, and leave Paris without a word, just for a thing like that?
29852And you found--?
29852Appetite good?
29852Are the occurrences frequent?
29852Are you Miss Ellicott?
29852Are you ready to tell us what you have done with the box?
29852Assume?
29852But he knows nothing?
29852But surely, you must have some idea, monsieur, of your purpose in being here?
29852But the snuff box-- do you think it has been taken away?
29852But why do n''t you arrest him?
29852But why should they be taking the box to Brussels?
29852But why, my friend? 29852 But why?
29852But why?
29852But you read it first?
29852Can you dare to come before me, and tell me such a thing as that?
29852Did I have an attack?
29852Did I? 29852 Did you believe him?"
29852Did you find the man in the room?
29852Dining at the Minister''s to- night?
29852Do I understand, monsieur,he asked, in a ghastly voice,"that I am free to leave this place?"
29852Do n''t open your mouth to a soul-- do you hear? 29852 Do you dare to disobey this?"
29852Do you drink?
29852Do you feel any the worse, miss, from the experiences of last night?
29852Do you happen to know where he was going?
29852Do you know anything about this matter that makes it necessary for me to go to London?
29852Doctor,she cried out,"what are you doing?"
29852For how long?
29852Girl, are you telling me the truth?
29852Had you experienced any great shock, about the time these manifestations began?
29852Has Dr. Hartmann a phonograph in the house?
29852Has Seltz gone?
29852Has anything been heard from Noël?
29852Has anything been heard from your prisoner since this morning?
29852Has he asked for anything?
29852Has this fellow Seltz been doing anything he should not?
29852Have n''t we wasted enough time over this thing?
29852Have you received any word?
29852Have you taken regularly the tonic I prescribed?
29852His snuff box? 29852 How can I ask Dr. Hartmann to treat me?"
29852How can you account for this man''s death?
29852How can you do that?
29852How do you propose to do so?
29852How long have you observed the symptoms?
29852How old are you, my man?
29852How?
29852How?
29852If I tell you where the ivory snuff box is hidden,she said,"will you let my husband go?"
29852If a person has delusions upon one particular subject, is he on that account necessarily insane?
29852Is anything wrong, gentlemen? 29852 Is that all I am to do-- just watch?"
29852Is that all you know?
29852Is that all?
29852Is that, then, your handwriting, monsieur?
29852Is the box then of no value?
29852Is there any other door to the bedroom?
29852Is this true?
29852It is better so, is it not? 29852 It''s none of your affair, is it?
29852Keeping you here, Mr. Duvall? 29852 May I ask what you are looking for?"
29852May I ask you to step inside a moment? 29852 May I have the pleasure of accompanying you?"
29852May I suggest, mademoiselle,she said,"that you place the ring you are wearing where it will be less conspicuous?"
29852Monsieur Dufrenne,he began, slowly,"you are no doubt familiar with the matter which takes us to London?"
29852Monsieur Dufrenne?
29852Monsieur Duvall, what does this mean?
29852Monsieur Lefevre? 29852 Monsieur de Grissac,"asked Duvall, his face white,"had I destroyed the box, or even only the key, could you have read these documents yourself?"
29852Nothing else?
29852Now will you tell me what I ask?
29852Now, young woman, where is the ivory snuff box?
29852Now,he said,"where is it?
29852Questions? 29852 Richard, what is that light?
29852Richard,she cried, softly,"are you suffering very much?"
29852Seltz? 29852 Seltz?"
29852Shall I send word to our friends in Brussels?
29852Shall we go to Antwerp?
29852Sleep well?
29852So this is the fellow, eh? 29852 So you are his wife, eh?
29852So you have the snuff box hidden somewhere among them, have you?
29852The box?
29852The other-- the old Frenchman?
29852The snuff box?
29852Then how do you know that he had anything to do with the matter of this snuff box?
29852Then if it should pass into his possession, I may have to steal it? 29852 Then may I ask that you will give me a letter to him?"
29852Then she knew where it was?
29852Then why have you come here?
29852This was about one o''clock you say?
29852Understood? 29852 Use any drugs?"
29852Was he not with you in the room?
29852Well, Mr. Duvall,he said,"how goes the treatment?
29852Well, what have you to say?
29852Were they attempting to escape?
29852What are the man''s symptoms?
29852What can I do?
29852What can it avail now?
29852What did it say?
29852What did they steal?
29852What did this Dr. Hartmann do, when the box was given to him?
29852What did you do then?
29852What did you do then?
29852What did you do then?
29852What did you learn?
29852What do you mean, Dr. Hartmann,she demanded, steadily,"by treating me in this way?"
29852What do you mean, monsieur,he asked, harshly,"by detaining me in this manner?"
29852What experiences?
29852What has happened-- why have they brought you here?
29852What have they done to you?
29852What have you to say to me?
29852What is it you wish, gentlemen?
29852What is it, Mayer?
29852What is it, Monsieur Duvall?
29852What is the nature of the case, may I ask?
29852What is this man Duvall to you?
29852What powder was that you used, may I ask?
29852What room is above?
29852What was he doing when you entered?
29852What, monsieur?
29852When did you last see the box?
29852When is the next train for Paris?
29852Where are you going?
29852Where does Seltz live?
29852Where is Duvall?
29852Where is Herr Mayer?
29852Where is Monsieur Duvall to communicate with you?
29852Where is it?
29852Where were you, then, that you say''in the room below?''
29852Where? 29852 Who are you?"
29852Who is the fellow?
29852Why have you come into my house,he presently asked, glaring at her in anger,"under pretense of desiring medical treatment?
29852Why should this Dr. Hartmann want the box?
29852Why should we go to Paris, dear? 29852 Why?"
29852Why?
29852Why?
29852Will you be so good as to have a cab here for me at half- past seven?
29852Would he not have been more likely to leave the house immediately since he knew you would discover your loss at once?
29852You are Oscar Seltz, from London?
29852You are here still?
29852You are, then, not absolutely sure?
29852You believed, then, that he had taken the box?
29852You did not, then, notify the police?
29852You do not intend to release me then?
29852You have been successful, monsieur?
29852You know, do you not, that a valuable article, a small snuff box, to be exact-- has been stolen from me?
29852You mean to tell me,he cried,"that Richard Duvall has proven false to his duty?
29852You think her sudden departure would make Hartmann suspicious?
29852You think, then, that its intrinsic value alone might have prompted the theft?
29852You wish to see me, monsieur?
29852You wish to see me?
29852Your valet?
29852Your wife?
29852_ Mon Dieu_--what shall I do-- my business-- it will be desolated-- what shall I do?
29852After that, tell me, if you can, where it was that Seltz intended to go, to visit his parents?"
29852And Grace?
29852And how long has this condition been in evidence?"
29852And if you find no other conditions of an alarming nature, you think a cure possible?"
29852And then there flashed into his mind the thought, where was he now?
29852And when you walk in your sleep, do you seem to see her?"
29852And you questioned him?"
29852And you, monsieur, are in the habit of using snuff?"
29852Are these delusions confined to any one subject?"
29852Are you going to turn it over to me, or must I force you to do so?"
29852Beautiful day, is n''t it?"
29852Brooks?"
29852Brooks?"
29852But I assume, from what you say, that there might be other reasons; that it might have been taken by those who suspected that it had another value?"
29852But, the key once destroyed, how could Monsieur de Grissac himself read the documents, for the preparing of which it had been utilized?
29852Ca n''t you give him something to quiet him?"
29852Could they in any way affect his mind?
29852Did he propose to feed him with drugs, cunningly concealed in his food, which would steal away his senses, and leave him a babbling child?
29852Did it contain anything of value?
29852Did you hear it?"
29852Do n''t you see-- I love you-- I love you so-- what do I care about this foolish snuff box?
29852Duvall turned to his companion,"Monsieur Dufrenne,"he said,"will you enter at once and take the third chair?
29852Eightpence, you say?"
29852Had not Dr. Hartmann allowed him this liberty merely to see whether or not he would take advantage of it?
29852Has anything happened to make you nervous, or excitable?"
29852Have you read of their use in sterilizing milk?
29852Have you seen him, yet?"
29852He wondered if they had thought of it since?
29852How are you going to explain your robbery of Seltz in my office, the deception your wife has practised upon me and upon the United States Minister?
29852How is your mind this morning?
29852How long would this torture continue?
29852I at once summoned Noël--""Summoned him?"
29852If he should insist upon his leaving the place, what could he do, then, to recover Monsieur de Grissac''s snuff box?
29852If so, however, why had he informed Monsieur Perrier that he had changed his mind, and would not take the vacation he had requested?
29852If the real value of the stolen article is kept from me, how can I draw any conclusions as to the probable object of its theft?
29852Immediately the question rose in his mind: What should he do next?
29852In short, why should any one have taken the trouble to steal it?
29852Is that what you mean?"
29852Is there any news from outside?"
29852Is this true?"
29852It is a small, round ivory box, with a carved top, quite plain and of little value--""But the contents?
29852Memory any better this morning?"
29852No?
29852Now about my bill-- do I owe you anything in addition to the fee I paid you on my arrival?"
29852Of course, there must have been something inside the box, his final conclusion was, else why should any one have stolen it?
29852On your way down- town, I suppose?"
29852Or would he understand that what she had done, had been for his sake, for the sake of her love for him?
29852Suppose the doctor were to overhear her?
29852Then you know something-- you have some hope?"
29852There was a rosary upon the top of the box, it is true, but what of it?
29852Upon what, then, did his suspicions of Seltz rest?
29852Was Dr. Hartmann trying to lead him into damaging admissions concerning the method he had employed to secure the snuff box?
29852Was Richard confined there, as well?
29852Was Seltz such a man?
29852Was it for him, some message, indeed, intended to show him a way out of his difficulties?
29852Was it intrinsically valuable?
29852Was the shave not satisfactory?"
29852Was this merely a blind, to avert suspicion, in case the unexpected murder of the man Noël resulted in inquiries being made of Monsieur Perrier?
29852Was this some absurd joke that Monsieur Lefevre was playing upon him?
29852Was this, then, Hartmann''s intention?
29852Was this, then, the explanation of his predicament?
29852Were they in Hartmann''s hands?
29852What are they?"
29852What are you going to do about it?
29852What did Hartmann mean?
29852What did I do?"
29852What do you say?"
29852What have you done with it?"
29852What if he had distinguished himself, made himself the Prefect''s most valued assistant, during the past six or eight months?
29852What is it they mean to do to you?
29852What is it you want here?"
29852What is the nature of your complaint?"
29852What is there about it that makes it so valuable?
29852What message could the words of this song give him-- what in fact could they mean to anyone, except a message of hopeless love?
29852What more do you want?"
29852What more likely place, after all, for Hartmann''s deviltries than this silent room beneath the laboratory?
29852What more natural, Duvall reasoned, than that the man he was following, was on his way to take a train?
29852What of it?"
29852What was the room beneath the laboratory used for?
29852What were these documents?
29852What would he think of her?
29852What would she do-- what could she do, to aid him?
29852What, after all, was this matter, this affair so vague and mysterious, into which he had so unexpectedly been thrown?
29852What, he wondered, was the purpose of this examination?
29852What, perhaps, did Monsieur de Grissac carry within it?"
29852When can I see the man?"
29852When do you intend to call on him?"
29852Where in that room could it be hidden?
29852Where shall we take him?"
29852Where, however, was the key?
29852Where, indeed, could he hope to hide an object of this size, so as to defy a search, in case one should be made?
29852Why do you ask?"
29852Why do you not send her word to join you in Paris?"
29852Why had this song been so persistently and continuously played?
29852Will that be convenient?"
29852Wo n''t you take a seat and tell me what you are doing in Brussels?"
29852Would a man of his type have taken the trouble to place the gruesome seal upon the dead man''s lips?
29852Would he do this, she wondered?
29852Would he, too, regard her as a traitor, a weak and contemptible creature, forever barred from love and respect, false to her duty, her honor?
29852Would the latter conclude, now that he had failed to do so, that the snuff box was hidden somewhere on the premises?
29852Would you like to try a box?"
29852Yet how could she go quietly to her room, when Richard might be in the gravest danger?
29852Yet if so, to what did it lead?
29852Yet what was there that he could do?
29852Yet where could he put it?
29852You do n''t mean to say that they are making all this fuss over a trifling thing like a snuff box?"
29852You have heard, of course, of the Count d''Este''s treatment of me, and of his arrest and conviction?"
29852You have the box with you, of course?"
29852You observe, mademoiselle, Monsieur the Prefect''s object in sending you to Brussels?"
29852You?"
29852_ Mon Dieu!_ What will become of France?"
29852_ Mon Dieu!_ Why did I not think of him before?"
29852_ Mon Dieu!_ Why did you not destroy it-- crush it under your heel-- anything, to prevent our enemies from obtaining possession of it?"
26704''Caught in yer own trap, ai n''t ye?'' 26704 A yeggman, is n''t he?"
26704Again?
26704Ai n''t I too old?
26704Ai n''t he sent me twice to prison? 26704 Ai n''t that right, Miss Madge?"
26704And Nick Carter sent them all to prison, did he?
26704And are there caverns there? 26704 And as it was-- what?"
26704And do n''t we know that there were four men who came to our camp in the swamp at the same time, and who came together? 26704 And do n''t you know that Nick Carter has got still another assistant, and that his other assistant is named Patsy?
26704And do you know about the places under the hills as well?
26704And how to get there?
26704And if I do it all as you tell me to do, how much more do I get?
26704And is it left to you that it is?
26704And is there enough laudanum?
26704And it communicates with the cave?
26704And it is up to us to catch her?
26704And so that''s Chick, is it? 26704 And suppose, Mr. Carter, that person is at Grinnel''s to- night, what do you expect to do to that person?"
26704And that is n''t likely, is it?
26704And that''s all?
26704And the other?
26704And the second time I met him; was that him-- or you?
26704And the third one? 26704 And the two who were disguised-- what of them?"
26704And they was all strangers?
26704And was n''t one of the spies Nick Carter himself?
26704And were n''t the other two his assistants?
26704And were n''t they afterward thrown into the quicksand pit to die?
26704And what did you come here for?
26704And what do you wish me to do with you, now that you are here?
26704And what do you wish me to do?
26704And who are the three men who came with you?
26704And who may he be, Handsome?
26704And will you see the thing through to the finish, Phil?
26704And you do n''t expect to see me or to communicate with me again until-- when?
26704And you do n''t think you could do it, eh?
26704And you have never seen him since?
26704And you wo n''t make any trouble?
26704And you would have no trouble in getting inside?
26704And you would kill him if you could?
26704And you, Phil-- what about you?
26704And you?
26704And, having found me, to let me go away in peace?
26704And, later, was n''t it found out that three of''em were spies?
26704Any luck?
26704Are n''t you going to tie that handkerchief over my face again?
26704Are there any others in this thing with us, Handsome?
26704Are they dumb, or tongue- tied, or have they temporarily lost their voices; or, are they only bashful? 26704 Are you all ready to obey my orders, exactly as I shall give them?"
26704Are you as old as that?
26704Are you giving me this on the square?
26704Aw, what''s eatin''you?
26704Beel Turner? 26704 Black Madge, eh?"
26704But how can Curly help you?
26704But how is she going to know it? 26704 But that''base of supplies''business-- what do you mean by that?"
26704But what answer would you make if that question was asked of you?
26704But why did he shake hands with you?
26704But, what''s the matter?
26704By Heaven, sir, do you dare to defy me?
26704Can I? 26704 Can you write a good hand?"
26704Carter,she said coldly,"do you know this man who recognizes you?"
26704Cheerful, is n''t it? 26704 Chick, for short, is it not?
26704Chick,he said,"do you happen to know anything about Mike Grinnel''s place?"
26704Cremation Mike has got it in----"Who?
26704Did n''t I tell ye so? 26704 Did n''t I tell ye so?"
26704Did n''t the people of Calamont send you to find me and my followers?
26704Did n''t they confess it?
26704Did n''t you bring a screen with you, you chump?
26704Did n''t you come here looking for him?
26704Did n''t you hear her say so?
26704Did the others appear to know him?
26704Did they die there?
26704Did you ever hear of Nick Carter?
26704Did you sign for it, Joseph?
26704Do n''t you know that they escaped?
26704Do n''t you know, Dago John?
26704Do n''t you think it would be a good idea to send some of the men to guard the other entrances? 26704 Do they let you in at Mike Grinnel''s Sunday night prayer meetings?"
26704Do you believe that it was he who struck you, Mike?
26704Do you expect to get them all, one by one, in that way?
26704Do you know any of the gang that is traveling with her?
26704Do you know anything about the case?
26704Do you know if he has been sent for?
26704Do you know what he is?
26704Do you know what would happen to you if I should find that you were acting as a spy?
26704Do you know where she lives?
26704Do you know who you are like?
26704Do you mean that you would not wish to answer that question?
26704Do you mean the caves?
26704Do you mean to say that I can trust you to go down into the saloon and to come back here presently and tell me exactly what the situation is?
26704Do you think that he got out of the cabin without aid?
26704Do you understand what she means by that, Chick?
26704Do you wish me to direct the search?
26704Do? 26704 Does it connect with the main part of the cavern?"
26704Down there to the dungeon where you put Chick?
26704Ever see him?
26704First,said Nick,"I want to know who you are, and whether you belong here or not?"
26704For another fifty dollars down?
26704Good; and you know them well enough to give me a working plan of them? 26704 Had n''t I better git about it right now?"
26704Handsome,he said sharply,"who''s this other bunch?
26704Hang me in his place?
26704Has she been in the habit of coming here frequently of late?
26704Have I got to carry these whiskers with me?
26704Have you been there at all to- night?
26704Have you ever seen anything suspicious about the prisoner?
26704Have you got another one, Handsome?
26704Have you got any more witnesses?
26704Have you looked through the screens?
26704Hobo Harry, the King of the Beggars, eh?
26704How did they escape?
26704How did you happen to go into it?
26704How do I know that? 26704 How do you mean?"
26704How does it happen that he did n''t send you along with them?
26704How far is it?
26704How is that?
26704How is this?
26704How long ago did it happen?
26704How long have you been here in this room?
26704How much do you want to bet?
26704How was that?
26704How well do you know the hills and mountains, the ravines and gulches, the rocks and the caves around this region?
26704How''d he get''em out, you ask? 26704 I gave it away that time, did n''t I?"
26704I hope, Nick,he said, dropping into a chair near the window and lighting a cigar,"that you enjoyed the reading of that letter from Madge?"
26704I mean just this, and nothing more: If you are not what you appear to be, and what you say you are, it''s a slit across the windpipe for yours; see?
26704I suppose I can ask about those other guns that we left in the woods to- night, without giving offense, ca n''t I?
26704I suppose they must have taken to the woods north of the railway line; eh?
26704I suppose you want the plain truth, lady?
26704I suppose you would like to know what you are up against before I take you into the old swamp, would n''t you?
26704I want to know if Hobo Harry is going to send for them?
26704I want to know if you were downstairs in the saloon?
26704I would n''t have any reason to lie to ye, would I?
26704If I_ do_ undertake it? 26704 If you were at liberty at this minute, is n''t that the first place you would point for?"
26704In what sense do you mean?
26704Is he in Calamont now, Turner?
26704Is that all the conversation you had with Handsome?
26704Is that straight, Curly?
26704Is that true?
26704Is that where you sent Phil a few moments ago?
26704Is the memory that is associated with me pleasant or otherwise?
26704Is there any particular game afoot with the hoboes just now?
26704Is there good pay in it?
26704It does not matter how I may accomplish it, does it?
26704It is a pretty big proposition, chief; do n''t you think so?
26704It is the first thing about you that strikes one; and the second is----"Well-- what? 26704 It was a put- up job on their part to get as many of their kind as possible in the jail for that night, and then to take their queen out of it; eh?"
26704Known here? 26704 Look here, Handsome, if that fellow is gone for good, do you suppose that Madge will do what she said she would?"
26704Look here, Handsome, if you want me to promise that I wo n''t tell on ye, why do n''t you say so? 26704 Looks as if he might have come over in the steerage of a cattle ship, inside a rawhide, do n''t he?"
26704Madam does not suppose, when she asks the question, that it will be answered, does she?
26704Make up their minds that you was n''t in that little affair, eh?
26704Nice guy, ai n''t he?
26704No?
26704No?
26704Nobody sent me; why?
26704Nor with his police spies, did he?
26704Not enough to kill him if I should ask you to do it, do you?
26704Not to save yourself, or your master?
26704Now what the devil do you mean by that? 26704 Now, again, did n''t they come here together?
26704Now, another question which you will not understand at once: Do you know how to use a pencil, and is your hand steady enough to draw plans for me?
26704Now, another subject: Have you ever traveled away from here? 26704 Now, can you draw me a plan of that region?"
26704Now, do you guns remember what happened the night of the fire, the time when Nick Carter got away with Madge, and took her to jail? 26704 Now, mister,"said Turner,"what hev ye got on yer mind?"
26704Now, will you be good?
26704Now,he said,"can you do the lockstep?"
26704Oh, I do n''t doubt that; but what do you mean by passing muster?
26704Oh, did n''t they? 26704 Oh, what''s eating you?"
26704Old Bill Turner is eighty- four, ma''am; but he do n''t look it, does he?
26704On the level, Carter?
26704Only part o''the time? 26704 Personally?
26704Really?
26704Running a counterfeit plant, eh?
26704Say to who?
26704Say, Handsome, ca n''t you say a word for me with her? 26704 Say, Handsome, on the level now,_ is_ there such a person?"
26704Shall we get at those plans now?
26704Share up, or chuck it alone?
26704So you have come back again?
26704So you knew Jimmy the Sly, did you?
26704So you saw''em all when they arrived there, did you?
26704So,she said venomously,"you thought to deceive me, did you-- you and your master?"
26704Suppose an answer was insisted upon?
26704Suppose he brings some of the men back with him?
26704Suppose they get suspicious, and wo n''t drink it?
26704Suppose your expenses were paid?
26704Sure I''d do it-- why not? 26704 Sure about that?"
26704Sure, ma''am, do n''t I know the same? 26704 Tell me what is expected of me, then; where we are going?"
26704That is a little hard, is n''t it, Carter? 26704 That was a queer experience for you, Carter, was n''t it?
26704The hull four was there, warn''t they?
26704The man you spoke of?
26704Then what do you want to go there for?
26704Then you have not heard about it, eh?
26704Then you must know these hills mighty well, eh?
26704Then, personally, you do n''t think that he is a spy?
26704There were three other men there when Handsome found you? 26704 Try- out?"
26704Under cover?
26704Want me to do the blowing?
26704Was Black Madge in the saloon downstairs when you were there?
26704Was Black Madge there when you were there?
26704Was n''t he grateful?
26704Was n''t it the dead- level truth?
26704Was they together?
26704Well, Carter, it did n''t take long for Black Madge to make good her threat, did it?
26704Well, and after that, what am I to do?
26704Well, sir?
26704Well, talk on, ca n''t you? 26704 Well, what about what''s to come after it?
26704Well, what are we to do when he steps inside this hole-- for he will do that?
26704Well, what happened then?
26704Well, what is it?
26704Well, what then, Madge?
26704Well, who got''em out of that quicksand pit, then? 26704 Well, who were you looking for?"
26704Well?
26704Well?
26704Well?
26704Well?
26704Well?
26704Well?
26704Well?
26704What about me?
26704What about that fellow Pat?
26704What about the others? 26704 What about the rest of the gang?"
26704What about?
26704What are we waiting here for?
26704What are you going to do to him?
26704What brings you here, Turner?
26704What brought you to me?
26704What can you do?
26704What did you talk about after that?
26704What do you know about that hole up there, under that rock that is shaped like the nose of a dog?
26704What do you know about the French?
26704What do you know of Hobo Harry?
26704What do you suppose he is like?
26704What do you think about them, Handsome?
26704What do you think he is?
26704What do you want to talk about? 26704 What do you want?
26704What do you want?
26704What does all this lead to?
26704What errand brought you to this part of the country, and finally induced you to make your camp in the woods out there?
26704What has been your line of work, Dago?
26704What has happened?
26704What have you got against Nick Carter, Surly Bob?
26704What is it?
26704What is that, Joseph?
26704What is that, please?
26704What is that?
26704What is that?
26704What is the next trick to be done?
26704What is there to do first?
26704What is, then?
26704What kind of a game are you playing now, Madge?
26704What made you come back now?
26704What might you be wantin''of me, stranger?
26704What more was talked about?
26704What now?
26704What part?
26704What shall I do with him?
26704What shall we do with him?
26704What specific charge are we after Madge for?
26704What the devil are you so silent about?
26704What time do you start?
26704What was it?
26704What was that name?
26704What was that, Mike?
26704What was the letter, Madge?
26704What were the results?
26704What were they doing?
26704What wo n''t do?
26704What would you do to them, Pat?
26704What you got?
26704What''s eatin''you, you loon?
26704What''s that?
26704What''s the game?
26704What''s your handle, covey?
26704What''s your handle?
26704What''s your name? 26704 What''s your name?"
26704When was the next time you saw him?
26704Where are the others of that bunch who were found with Dago?
26704Where are those entrances?
26704Where do you come from?
26704Where does he live?
26704Where have you been while you were away, then? 26704 Where is that same, then?"
26704Where might you hoboes be from?
26704Where to now, my pal?
26704Where to, pard?
26704Where were you before you came here?
26704Which I suppose you would do, eh?
26704Which one of you is the leader of this outfit?
26704Who are they?
26704Who are you lookin''for?
26704Who are you, Dago?
26704Who are you, and what are you, Pat?
26704Who are you?
26704Who are you?
26704Who are you?
26704Who are you?
26704Who brought it, Joseph?
26704Who got there first?
26704Who is he?
26704Who might Dago John be, pard?
26704Who sent you here to find him?
26704Who sent you?
26704Who told you where to find him?
26704Who was it, then?
26704Who''s Black Madge?
26704Whom have we here?
26704Why did n''t you shoot him at once instead of bringing him here?
26704Why did you not stay with the rest of the men, then?
26704Why do you hate him?
26704Why do you want to join the forces of Hobo Harry?
26704Why so, madam?
26704Why so?
26704Why so?
26704Why, we are always chasing down criminals, are n''t we? 26704 Why, what would happen to him there?"
26704Why?
26704Why?
26704Why?
26704Will you guide us through the cave, Turner?
26704Will you take the case, Carter?
26704Will you tell me about it?
26704Would he have been in that sort of company if he had n''t been made out of the same kind of cloth? 26704 Would you be afraid to trust him now?"
26704Would you know him, do you think, if you should see him again?
26704Would you mind telling me how you got there?
26704Would you mind telling me why you axed me all about them two meetings?
26704Yet you remember it fairly well?
26704You bit off a little more than you could chew, did n''t you, Madge?
26704You ees Beel Turner?
26704You hate Nick Carter, do you, Johnny?
26704You have an education?
26704You have never been through that hole, then?
26704You have not been a yeggman always, have you?
26704You heard me, did n''t you?
26704You know Calamont, of course?
26704You know that cave from end to end, do n''t you?
26704You never seen any one of them afore that time, had you?
26704You nor that chap over there who is with you?
26704You, Curly-- by the way, have you any weapons about you?
26704Again Handsome was silent a while, and then he said suddenly:"Turner, would you like to go to our camp?"
26704Ai n''t that right?"
26704And do you know that I think I could startle them all mightily right now if I should call something out to them which is on my mind to say?"
26704And that still another of the four was another assistant, who is called Ten- Ichi?
26704And the last time he done it did n''t he hand me a welt alongside of the jaw that I''ll never forget?
26704And then she continued:"Do n''t you know, Nick Carter, that you have walked directly into a trap, from which you can not escape?
26704And then to Nick again:"What sort of authority do you expect me to show?"
26704And were not two others of that same four Nick Carter''s assistants?
26704And were you not aware before you came here that if your identity became known your life would n''t be worth a moment''s purchase?
26704And what am I here for, is it?
26704And what in blazes do you mean by bursting into my room in this way?"
26704And who was the fourth one of that four?
26704And_ you_?"
26704Answer me: Have you guessed who I am?"
26704Are Chick and Ten- Ichi going to be in this?"
26704Are we to stay here all night, Handsome?"
26704Are you making fun of me?"
26704Are you satisfied?"
26704Bill Turner, is it?
26704Black Madge, eh?
26704But Patsy?
26704But do you suppose you kin fix yourself to look enough like me so''s he wo n''t know the difference when he sees you?"
26704But what about the other men that are now on the case, Carter?"
26704But, first, is there any sort of a chair or stool inside that cabin?"
26704Can I see her?"
26704Can you take me where we can talk so that nobody will overhear us?"
26704Carter?"
26704Cobalt?"
26704Cobalt?"
26704Confess the truth now; are n''t you under cover, and playing the rôle for the purpose of being out of sight for a time?"
26704Did I keep my word with you?"
26704Did n''t I say that they be thinking that I was a spy; but you would n''t have it so?
26704Did n''t he come there with that other outfit?
26704Did n''t you come up here to get into the gang?
26704Did n''t you tell me that I was all right?
26704Did you ever hear of anybody''s getting out of that pit alive?
26704Did you think that you could come here into this same room where I am without my knowing instantly who you were?
26704Do n''t you agree with me, Handsome?
26704Do n''t you know that your very presence in the same room with me would make itself known to my sensibilities by reason of the very hate I bear you?"
26704Do n''t you remember that when we found the other two out, they were sent to the quicksand pit?
26704Do you happen to have the mark of blood against you, too?"
26704Do you happen to know a man who is named Nick Carter?"
26704Do you happen to know by sight, or have an acquaintance with, any of the members of that gang?"
26704Do you intend to follow that person down and do the arresting afterward?"
26704Do you know where Black Madge lives, or where she can be found besides in this saloon?"
26704Do you know who I mean?"
26704Do you let them pass?"
26704Do you really take it so seriously as all that?"
26704Do you remember where we left the boat?"
26704Do you see it, all of you?"
26704Do you suppose it can be done?"
26704Do you suppose those people are hiding and making their headquarters in caves?"
26704Do you suppose you can do it?"
26704Do you think I came up here to spy on you?"
26704Does what I say go?"
26704Faith, why should ye be after shootin''the likes of me?
26704For example, what did you think of the operation that was performed last night?"
26704For why?
26704Had she remembered?
26704Handsome thought a moment, and then he asked suddenly:"Turner, who sent you up here?"
26704Handsome, when did you first see them four in the woods north o''the track?"
26704Have n''t you heard of that?
26704Have you ever been to New York, for instance?"
26704He ees known here?
26704He said:"We''ve got proof enough that the man is a spy, ai n''t we, mates?
26704He was silent for a moment after that, and then he asked:"Can I rely upon you, Curly, to stand by me through what is to come?"
26704He''s a detective chap, ai n''t he?
26704How about the voice?
26704How comes it that Jimmy never mentioned you to me?"
26704How did you put out the lamps of those chaps up in Mulberry Street, so that they let you out?"
26704How far is it to the railway track in a direct line?
26704How is that?"
26704How many do you know about?"
26704How many men are there here now?"
26704How would you like to make a visit to New York?"
26704I am to understand that I have the same free hand in the matter that I did before?"
26704I do n''t want him to catch me; see?"
26704I forgot to tell you----""What?"
26704I wonder if that old cuss knew about it all the time?"
26704I wonder what the woman will do next?"
26704If we do that----""Well?"
26704If you do not----""Well, what then?"
26704Is n''t that what you are here for?"
26704Is that the idea?"
26704Is_ that_ what you want me to do?"
26704It read:"Can you call on me at once?
26704Me?"
26704Monsieur Goron was chief at the time-- no?
26704No?"
26704No?"
26704Now, are you ready?"
26704Now, did you hear what I said about your findin''that outfit in the woods north of the track?"
26704Now, how do you reconcile that with the fact that they all know you?"
26704Now, what are you going to do about it?"
26704Now, what is it, mister?"
26704Now, where are we going?
26704Now, who told you about Hobo Harry?"
26704Now-- could you draw a plan of different parts of the mountains, so it would be plain enough for me to follow without your being present with me?"
26704Only if the lady should raise a kick-- what then?"
26704Only it happens that it was n''t the Chicken as was shot; cause why?
26704Say, chief?"
26704Shake?"
26704Shall you chuck him in alive?"
26704Shot by----""Shot by a cop, eh?
26704Since you wish to talk things over calmly, what did, you come here for, anyhow?"
26704Take me to her, will you?"
26704Tell me that?"
26704Tell me-- have you guessed who I am?"
26704That is the way you came, is n''t it?"
26704The one who wore no disguise?"
26704The question is, do you want to go with me?"
26704Then Handsome added:"Who might these gazaboes be?"
26704Then you do know something about that country up through there, eh?"
26704There was n''t much to that, was there?"
26704They poled on in silence for a time after that; but presently Nick asked:"What''s the lay to- night, Handsome?"
26704Turner?"
26704Understand, do you?"
26704Was n''t one of that four Nick Carter himself?
26704We know that, do n''t we, mates?
26704Well, Mr. Carter, do you think that the guns down there at Grinnel''s are such blamed fools as not to see through a racket of that kind?"
26704Well, well, who would have supposed that?"
26704Were you?
26704What I want to know is, are they wid you?"
26704What a sailor would call a chart?"
26704What are the supposed names of these two?"
26704What are you going to do about the rest of the gang?"
26704What at?"
26704What brought you into this neighborhood?"
26704What do you mean by that?"
26704What do you say?"
26704What do you think of it?"
26704What do you think of that?"
26704What do you want to know all this for?"
26704What do you want with him?"
26704What do you want?"
26704What does Handsome know about you, Bill?"
26704What have you to suggest?"
26704What is he charged with?"
26704What is the rule?"
26704What is there that is particularly interesting about the manner of her escape?"
26704What time is it?"
26704What was that name?"
26704What''s that?"
26704What''s your lay?"
26704What''s your line of graft, Slippery?"
26704What''s yours?"
26704When did he do it?"
26704When do you want me to shave?"
26704When the three were in the room together, she said to Chick:"You observe that I know who you are?"
26704Where is it?"
26704Where is she?
26704Where the devil are you?"
26704Where was you?"
26704Who are these other two?"
26704Who are you, anyhow?"
26704Who are you, anyway?
26704Who are you?"
26704Who do you suppose I am?"
26704Who is he?"
26704Who is it?"
26704Who says so?
26704Why did he do that?
26704Why?
26704Will you agree to that?"
26704Will you defend the man, Turner?"
26704Will you do it?"
26704Will you?"
26704Would you consent to do that?"
26704You can talk United States, ca n''t you?"
26704You have n''t had your breakfast, I suppose?"
26704You understand?"
26704You''ve got the idea?"
26704another?"
26704are n''t they dandy?
26704do you mean that?"
26704exclaimed the bartender in astonishment,"do you mean to say that you have been inside that saloon to- night?"
26704he demanded,"and where are you from?"
26704right now?"
26704this is a disguise business, is it?
29704''And when was this?'' 29704 ''How can this be?''
29704A secret of knowledge?
29704Ah, well, it''s disappointing, is n''t it? 29704 Ah, you?
29704And Colonel Damer?
29704And an accessory before the fact to the assassination of the Czar?
29704And did her effort succeed?
29704And have you found anything wrong with me,--I mean, besides this bullet, anything abnormal?
29704And the box?
29704And the writing on the card, have you any memory of it, for Burwell told me that the words have faded?
29704And they are--?
29704And this was the reason that we parted-- this the sole cause of our estrangement?
29704And what is this?
29704And yet this man has for years been leading a most exemplary life?
29704And you will promise secrecy? 29704 And your nursery department?"
29704Are you ill?
29704Are you such an enthusiastic smoker?
29704Aylmer, are you in earnest?
29704Blanche, dearest,cried Bella, as she caught sight of her face,"what is the matter?
29704But about your box, Blanche?
29704But how?
29704But why do we speak of dying? 29704 But why do you keep this?
29704But you''ve written a book about them, and know them when you see them, do n''t you? 29704 But_ why_, my dear fellow?"
29704Can not I do it for you, Blanche?
29704Can you read it?
29704Carwitchet? 29704 Danger?
29704Did she say so?
29704Did you call, my dearest?
29704Did you observe, Captain, how suddenly they sank? 29704 Do n''t you think that Blanche is looking very ill?"
29704Do you know what they eat?
29704Do you live here?
29704Do you recognize me?
29704Do you remember seeing me at the_ Folies Bergère_ a month ago?
29704Do you think so? 29704 Do you think,"I asked, as I gave it to him,"that any men have really been smothered in that bed, as they tried to smother_ me_?"
29704Do you want anything?
29704Do you, dear? 29704 Does she speak of me?"
29704Fainted?
29704First, have you ceased to love me?
29704Georgiana,said he,"has it never occurred to you that the mark upon your cheek might be removed?"
29704Has Lady Carwitchet shown you her sapphire?
29704Has Mrs. Damer been abroad for as long a time?
29704Have n''t you seen him? 29704 Have one?"
29704Have we not shown you by the furniture, by the general appearance of the place, that you are mistaken, and that this can not be your apartment? 29704 Have you a large supply of the''gems''in your valise?"
29704Have you been out?
29704Her secret?
29704How I know them? 29704 How can I tell you now?"
29704How can you''make amends''? 29704 How could any man with a palate for the rarest flavours of life resist the temptation of taking that woman down to dinner?
29704How do I know my own room? 29704 How do I know?"
29704How do you design disposing of it?
29704How do you mean, Colonel Damer?--when did it happen?
29704How know you that it is your room?
29704How long will she stay here?
29704I beg your pardon-- family interests? 29704 I shall never be better; besides it is n''t my eyes; I mean myself, my soul,--you have n''t found anything wrong there?"
29704I suppose I musn''t tell why I came to give quite a big sum in francs for this?
29704I suppose it ca n''t be anything on her mind, Bella?
29704If it''s only bogus, why are you always in such a flutter about it? 29704 In every way known to medical science?"
29704Is he going with the rest, Harry?
29704Is it with this lotion that you intend to bathe my cheek?
29704Is it your linen box?
29704Is she a politician?
29704Is this your final decision, Blanche?
29704Is your collection valuable? 29704 Is your wife here?"
29704It ca n''t stand there; you''ll unpack it, wo n''t you? 29704 It was an accident, a misfortune;_ you_ did not do it?"
29704It was,she commenced slowly, and then as if gathering up a great resolution, she suddenly exclaimed,"Do you_ really_ wish to know what parted us?"
29704Mr. Burwell is dead, is he not?
29704Mr. Laurence, what right have you to hold me thus?
29704My God,he said weakly, sinking into a chair,"how can you know these things?"
29704Now, Bella, dear, which is to be my room?
29704O, you do n''t? 29704 Oh, here you are at last; will you take Mrs. Damer down to dinner?"
29704Oh, why not the ruby?
29704Pardon me,I said, keeping the patient''s hand in mine,"would you let me look at your palm?"
29704Poor? 29704 Queer house, is n''t it?"
29704She has? 29704 So you say this is rubbish?"
29704Then it is really serious?
29704Then why did you take me from my mother''s side? 29704 Then, for God''s sake, tell me, what does it all mean?"
29704To you, Mr. Laurence-- the iron- bound box? 29704 To- day?"
29704Was it not enough?
29704Well, have you determined whether or not this is your room?
29704What Carwitchet? 29704 What could I?
29704What diabolic jugglery was at work when the exchange was made?
29704What did you do?
29704What do you mean?
29704What do you mean?
29704What do you think of my cigarettes?
29704What do you want to know?
29704What does she say?
29704What earthly reason can you have for going, when your fixed plan was to stay with us over Christmas Day?
29704What for?
29704What kind of a man is the-- the poet you spoke of?
29704What right, Blanche? 29704 What was she so anxious to conceal from the custom- house officers?"
29704What was the Fascinating Friend supposed to have in her portmanteau?
29704What was your sister''s idea in giving Burwell the card?
29704What will do very well?
29704What, dear, your linen box?
29704When was that?
29704Where is Lord Carwitchet?
29704Where was the house?'' 29704 Where will you have it placed, ma''am?"
29704Who is the lady who has just left the room?
29704Who told you?
29704Who will believe me?
29704Why did n''t he go straight from Lady----''s house to the nearest police- station and put the police on the track of his''Fascinating Friend''?
29704Why did n''t you tell me so?
29704Why did you hesitate to tell me this?
29704Why do you come hither? 29704 Why do you keep such a terrible drug?"
29704Why will you persist in calling this your room?
29704Why, are n''t you overjoyed? 29704 Why?
29704Why?
29704Will she come to Mrs. Damer? 29704 Will you not go in, my love, as your cousin proposes?"
29704Will you not regret it when too late, and you are left alone with only_ that_?
29704Will you swear it''s not in that wardrobe? 29704 Would you like to see the original?
29704Would you like to see them?
29704Would you throw the blight of that fatal birth- mark over my labours? 29704 Yes,"in a hesitating manner;"that is, it contains several things that I have in daily use; but go on about your visitors, Bella: are there any more?"
29704You are so rash,he said;"it will be safer with me: let me take the box also?"
29704You are thinking of the Valdez sapphire, are you not? 29704 You know a lot about precious stones, do n''t you?"
29704You know this,said I, starting up,"and yet did not denounce him?"
29704You mean,I exclaimed,"that you can photograph the two principles of good and evil that exist in us?"
29704You would rather go there first, Blanche?
29704Your sister?
29704_ Will_ you do it, Bella?
29704''Watch It writhe and struggle; it has served me well, brother, sayest thou not so, the lore I gained from our wise men?''
29704*****"Do n''t you think your friend might be held an accessory after the fact to the death of the German?"
29704Amid the horrible confusion of the rabbi''s thoughts, the idea darted through his brain:"Can I be already dead that they did not see me?"
29704And how?
29704And now, as an ancient grenadier, as an ex- brave of the French army, what remains for me to do?
29704And now, what does it matter?
29704And what cause had produced in a moment the whole of this strange, complicated, mysterious effect?
29704And, besides, had n''t he eaten salt with her?
29704Another glass?
29704Are we a generation of detectives, that we should do this thing?"
29704As he read, his face grew rigid with astonishment, and, looking at his questioner sharply, he exclaimed:"Where did you get this, monsieur?"
29704As she neared that of Mr. Laurence, the door opened a little, and a voice asked huskily--"Is anything the matter, Mrs. Clayton?
29704At peace did I say?
29704But about the box, Mr. Laurence; what has all this to do with the black box?"
29704But are you very intimate with this lady?"
29704But is your love for her dead memory and reputation strong enough to insure your eternal secrecy on the subject?"
29704But was he dead?
29704But why?
29704Clayton?"
29704Clayton?"
29704Closed?
29704Could I lure him into the library-- the billiard room-- the conservatory?
29704Could I, even for an instant, have been dazzled by a sham, and a sham of that quality?
29704Could it be possible that he was taking leave of his senses?
29704Could she have knocked her head in falling?
29704Did you ever visit the place?"
29704Did you never remark the food that they served up at your table?
29704Did you never remark their eyes, and how they gloated on you when you passed?
29704Do I know how many of those men entered the same gambling- house that_ you_ entered?
29704Do n''t you remember their stand at the first Paris Exhibition?
29704Do you hear, my hero of Austerlitz?
29704Do you know who live there?"
29704Do you think that I have lived over two years of solitary shame and grief, to break the heart that trusts in me_ now_?
29704Do you think, for the little space that is left me, that I would part with the only link left between me and my dread past?"
29704Does she ever wear the sapphires?
29704Eager to be rid of the hateful piece of pasteboard( for who could say that the curse was not still clinging about it?
29704FOREWORD A distinguished American writer of fiction said to me lately:"Did you ever think of the vital American way we live?
29704Guests all right?
29704Had I made any noise already?
29704Had anything happened already?
29704Had he ever been to Eza, the old Saracen robber- nest perched on a rock a thousand feet above the sea, halfway between Monaco and Villafranca?
29704Had n''t he smoked the social cigarette with her?
29704Had you any suspicion that she was unhappy in her marriage?"
29704Has anyone ever seen her in them?
29704Have we all finished, Harry, dear?"
29704Have you candles on the chimney- piece?
29704Have you known her?
29704Have you no idea why she got up and went into the passage?"
29704Have you no trust in your husband?"
29704His face had just been soaped-- what do you call it?--lathered, is it not?
29704How about the hotel robberies last summer at Cowes, eh?
29704How am I to meet him again?"
29704How can a man be so cursed, doctor, that his love and friendship bring only misery to those who share it?
29704How can it be that one who has in his heart only good thoughts can be constantly under the shadow of evil?
29704How can you ask me?"
29704How could I mistake it, pray?
29704How could I put it there?
29704How could you think it?"
29704How did this happen?"
29704How long is it since you have travelled in company with that dreadful box?"
29704How shall I come out of it?
29704I ask what?
29704I know that you will heed my wishes?"
29704I made myself a deprecating smile as I took it from him, but how dare I call it false to its face?
29704If he disbelieved his mother, how long would she be able to keep it from his clutches?
29704In place of the hat and feathers, what dusky object was it that now hid his forehead, his eyes, his shading hand?
29704Is it not so, my brothers?"
29704Is n''t it pretty?"
29704Is that all, Blanche?"
29704Is that it?"
29704Is there anyone there who can save her?
29704Is this beyond your power, for the sake of your own peace, and to save your poor wife from madness?"
29704It does n''t seem possible, does it, that a simple white card with some words scrawled on it in purple ink could effect a man''s undoing?
29704Lady Landor on one side of Tom, on the other who?
29704Laurence?"
29704Looking for what?
29704May I ask your attention for a few moments?"
29704Might n''t the police be grateful for a hint or two?
29704Mixed up in that Rawlings divorce case, was n''t he?
29704Mrs. Clayton, tell me truly-- did you love your cousin?"
29704Need I say more?
29704No disappointments?
29704Not come home, eh?
29704Now, Mr. Acton, on your honour as a connoisseur and a gentleman, which of the two is the Valdez?"
29704Now, tell me, doctor, you have examined me carefully, have you not?"
29704Now, was not that the case?"
29704Of all the wonderful faculties that help to tell us we are immortal, which speaks the sublime truth more eloquently than memory?
29704On her_ mind_!--what a funny idea, Harry; what could have put that in your head?"
29704On the eve, perchance, of salvation-- you wished to leave us?"
29704Only in the little cigar- ash box on the window- frame I saw the flat cigarette which he had barely lighted-- how long before?
29704Or was the champagne amazingly strong?
29704Perhaps you can put me in the way of disposing of it?"
29704Shall I call in other advice?
29704Shall I ever find it?
29704Shall I make an excuse for your not appearing at table this evening?
29704Shall I never be able to get out of bed again?"
29704Shall I send it to my room at once?
29704Shall I telegraph to London?
29704Shall I throw first?"
29704Shall we be such crawling creatures as to seek to lay by the heels a Muse of Murder?
29704Shall we go into the library?"
29704Should you like to meet her?
29704Surely we were more or less in number than we should be?
29704Tell me, did not something very unusual, something very horrible, happen to you about ten or eleven years ago?"
29704The B.--?
29704Then, why did you forsake me?
29704This message the sick man overheard, and lifting himself with an effort, he said excitedly:"Tell me, is he a tall man with glasses?"
29704Turned out of the Dragoon Guards for cheating at cards, or picking pockets, or something-- remember the row at the Cerulean Club?
29704Was I mad?
29704Was ever man so tantalized?
29704Was he trying to find the whereabouts of my safe?
29704Was it fear, or indifference, or a sudden remorse?"
29704Was it the result of a stimulant acting upon my system when I was in a highly excited state?
29704Was my stomach in a particularly disordered condition?
29704Was not that an exceedingly singular thing?
29704Was the bed moving?
29704Was the large stone no better?
29704What are his crimes compared with the great secret of knowledge I am now able to give the world?"
29704What connection can you possibly have with this box of my poor cousin''s, if you have only met her once in your life?"
29704What could I do?
29704What could be the meaning of the words on that infernal piece of pasteboard?
29704What could you do with it, even if I gave it you?
29704What drove you from me?
29704What else could I think?
29704What have I done?
29704What possible knowledge can you have of my cousin''s secret?"
29704What was amiss?
29704What was that on his waistcoat?
29704What was the immediate cause of your breaking faith with me?
29704What was wrong with it?
29704When she next spoke, she said, observing her cousin''s swollen eyes--"Am I dying, Bella?"
29704When would that be?
29704When?
29704Where shall I go?
29704Where the feathers-- three white, two green?
29704Where was my Fascinating Friend?
29704Where was my moral courage, and where was the good, honest, thumping lie that should have aided me?
29704Where was the conical crown?
29704Where''s that sapphire you stole?"
29704Who was extra on ours?
29704Who was she?
29704Whom have you staying in the house at present, dear?"
29704Why did you leave England without one line of farewell, and why have you refused to hold any communication with me since that time?"
29704Why do you ask?"
29704Why is it worse for him than anyone else?"
29704Why should n''t the bishop and Lady Carwitchet meet?
29704Why, where is it all gone to?"
29704Will you carry up that box for me?"
29704Will you have that box conveyed from her chamber to your own, and( if you will so far trust my honour) make it over to me?"
29704Will you try them, such as they are?"
29704Wo n''t you sit down?
29704Would the executioner come into possession of his conical crowned hat and plume of feathers?
29704and were privately thrown into the river, with a letter of explanation written by the murderers and placed in their pocketbooks?
29704and why did you not tell us so before?"
29704are we to treat like a vulgar criminal a mistress of the finest of the fine arts?
29704are you not going to join the riding- party this afternoon?"
29704dreaming?
29704drunk?
29704giddy again?
29704have I been ill?"
29704how are_ you_?
29704or shall I have it moved into the passage?"
29704sacre petit polisson de Napoleon!_ have I found thee at last?
29704said Bella, sitting up in bed in her wonderment;"of course not; why, how could it be?
29704said I, assuming, without knowing it, a confidential tone,"may I ask you how you know these things?"
29704she said;"what are you dreaming of?
29704slept in it?
29704tell me, is this the truth?"
29704took that bed as_ you_ took it?
29704were smothered in it?
29704where?
29704why did n''t you, Colonel Damer?"
29704why do you carry it about with you, Blanche?
29704why have I delayed it so long, why did I not see to this before?
29704won as_ you_ won?
29704you are fond of late wanderings, then?"
28084A bit quaint at times, ai n''t he, sir?
28084A scent?
28084A shower?
28084About me?
28084Ai n''t there nothink else you''d like?
28084Ai n''t you, Jimmy?
28084And after that?
28084And at other times?
28084And how am I to keep the shine off my nose without a looking- glass, Johnny?
28084And it was addressed to this man Cressit?
28084And now, Mr. Sage,said Mr. Doulton,"who are the scroundrels?"
28084And that keeps you out of bed?
28084And the man who was careful about his clothes?
28084And the nature of the document?
28084And what shall we do with him?
28084And what would your decision have been?
28084And where were you last night?
28084And who is this fellow who did this scandalous thing?
28084And you said?
28084And you secured it?
28084And you were to be the first to be told of the result of the experiments?
28084And you yourself put it in, locked the door, and have retained the key ever since?
28084And you?
28084And you?
28084Any big amounts?
28084Any carriages, or dog- carts?
28084Any theory?
28084Anything else?
28084Apart from the food not being taken in, you noticed nothing else that struck you as strange?
28084Are there any additional particulars?
28084Are these the clothes he wore when he got up?
28084Are you in the habit of sitting smoking at your bedroom window?
28084Are you listening?
28084Bicycles?
28084Both of us?
28084Busy?
28084But are n''t you going to search for----?
28084But can not you be a little less mysterious?
28084But did you not suspect the Japanese?
28084But for that circumstance the safe would not have been opened until when?
28084But how could you tell I got him on the nose?
28084But how did Sir Jasper get in?
28084But how did you find out all this?
28084But how did you fix the actual spot?
28084But how did you manage it?
28084But how do you account for Miss Crayne writing such letters about herself?
28084But how will that help?
28084But how----?
28084But might n''t that have trickled out in a few minutes, or while the man was here?
28084But suppose she had denied it?
28084But suppose the thief hands the document to an accomplice?
28084But that does n''t explain why I always want to please the Chief, does it?
28084But the girl riding beside the driver?
28084But was n''t it rather unkind?
28084But were n''t you afraid they''d do a double cross?
28084But what am I to do about Miss Blair?
28084But what if this fellow Cressit refuses to go?
28084But what made you fix on Hempdon as the headquarters of the blackguard?
28084But what was that you said about race- memory?
28084But who was Faustina?
28084But why did the curate refuse to say anything?
28084But why did they keep him if they did n''t like him?
28084But why did you cut us off from the telephone?
28084But why did you keep Papwith and me at Stainton until late this afternoon?
28084But why did you let me think that Jefferson and his crowd were in it?
28084But why is it necessary to tell him?
28084But, surely, Sage,broke in Mr. Llewellyn John,"is it not necessary to know the actual contents?"
28084By the way, Sir Lyster, how many cars have you in the garage?
28084By the way, what did you do when you heard of the robbery?
28084By the way, what time was it that you had a shower here last night?
28084By the way, where did your uncle bank?
28084By the way,he continued, without looking up,"in future can you let me see every letter as it is received?
28084Can I run you back to town, Carfon?
28084Can we prove it?
28084Can you borrow a couple of covered government lorries?
28084Can you describe the man?
28084Can you remember his actual words?
28084Can you remember when last you did such a thing?
28084Can you send for him?
28084Clever?
28084Could you lend me a trowel for half an hour?
28084Did Burns wear the same clothes throughout the day?
28084Did Professor McMurray ever refer to the matter?
28084Did ever you see the like, Sandy?
28084Did he receive any letters or telegrams yesterday?
28084Did he seem quite normal?
28084Did he threaten you, or you him?
28084Did he turn over to you the_ whole_ of his correspondence?
28084Did he?
28084Did the butler join you in your search?
28084Did the professor ever have visitors at his laboratory?
28084Did the professor open it?
28084Did you awaken suddenly, or gradually-- as if it were your usual time to awaken?
28084Did you ever do so?
28084Did you happen to notice if the electric light was on when you entered the library?
28084Did you know this was the library?
28084Did you notice anything remarkable about it?
28084Did you notice anything strange about his manner?
28084Did you photograph the position of the body?
28084Did you see anything?
28084Did you see the body?
28084Did you suspect Peters was armed?
28084Did you suspect young Glanedale at all?
28084Do n''t you understand? 28084 Do you believe he shot himself?"
28084Do you know of any reason why Burns should have left his room?
28084Do you know of any reason why Mr. Challoner should commit suicide?
28084Do you mind explaining how you arrived at your conclusions?
28084Do you sleep with lowered blinds?
28084Do you think the man who took the jewels stole it?
28084Do you think the professor had been successful in his experiments?
28084Does anyone else know that it is missing?
28084Does he eat marmalade?
28084Does he usually carry an umbrella?
28084Done with him?
28084Feeling better?
28084For the Chief?
28084Found anything?
28084Found anythink?
28084From a woman, perhaps?
28084Good heavens, Sage I What do you mean?
28084Had breakfast?
28084Has anyone left the house since the discovery; that is, as far as you know?
28084Have I your promise?
28084Have you another document from the same Department?
28084Have you any objection to the safe being opened?
28084Have you any reason to believe that Professor McMurray had enemies?
28084Have you got it?
28084Have you seen Goldschmidt himself?
28084He had no domestic worries?
28084He is a man, I presume?
28084He knew no one in the neighbourhood?
28084He knew?
28084He never smoked?
28084He referred to his pocket rather than to your feelings, I take it?
28084He saw nothing extraordinary in the circumstance?
28084He seemed to have become suddenly a much younger man?
28084He seems intelligent?
28084He stood behind a holly- bush with an umbrella----"But how did you know?
28084He told you, I think, never on any account to disturb him?
28084He was a good shot, I think you said?
28084He was confident of the success of his experiments?
28084He was quite himself, quite natural, yesterday?
28084He''s not come yet?
28084Hear that, Sandy? 28084 His voice?"
28084How about John Gray, the schoolmaster?
28084How did it go?
28084How did you know what sort of knife it was?
28084How many leaves of paper were there?
28084How many people know of the disappearance?
28084How obvious?
28084How on earth did you know?
28084How should I know?
28084How the devil did you spot the brute?
28084How''s the betting now?
28084How''s the cook, the stove, and the supper?
28084How?
28084How?
28084How?
28084I beg pardon, sir?
28084I ca n''t think of anything, sir,he said at length, apologetically,"only the marmalade, and that, of course, wouldn''t----""The marmalade?"
28084I fully appreciate the subtlety of the metaphor,said Malcolm Sage, the corners of his mouth twitching;"but still why?"
28084I heard you say so, and how''s his Nibs?
28084I knew it,cried Alf Pond, with conviction; then, turning to the others,"Did n''t I say he oughter been in the ring?"
28084I mean,she proceeded with withering deliberation,"what will happen when I ca n''t do the hundred in ten seconds?"
28084I suppose it never struck you to look elsewhere than at the curate''s lodgings for the writer of the letters?
28084I suppose she got the idea from the Comminge affair?
28084I suppose you think I''m wrong about the curate?
28084I suppose, Sir Lyster, you do n''t by any chance use scent?
28084I suppose,said Malcolm Sage quietly,"he did not happen to mention that he was already married?"
28084I take it that the rule you mention is known to your guests and servants?
28084I wonder why?
28084If you had lost something and would not tell me whether it was a dog or a diamond, would you expect me to find it?
28084Inspector Murdy,he said, without raising his eyes,"will you please open two of those packets?"
28084Is he going into the witness- box?
28084Is it usual to draw the curtains?
28084Is that your only excuse for bursting into a lady''s room without knocking?
28084Is there any truth in the rumours that he looked much younger?
28084Is this the same envelope as that in which the document was enclosed?
28084It would be quite easy for Mr. Challoner to let anyone in through the French- windows?
28084It''s inconceivable that in this----"Will you kindly be as brief as possible?
28084Last time_ The Daily Telegram_ went for us because----"You have n''t found a dust- pan full of clues?
28084Made it up to what?
28084Miss Blair,said Malcolm Sage quietly,"what are your relations with Paul Cressit?"
28084Miss Blair,said Sir Lyster coldly,"what have you to say?"
28084Miss Norman,said Sage as she entered,"can you lend me the small mirror I have seen you use occasionally?"
28084More?
28084Mr. Dane knew that on previous occasions his uncle had spent the night in his study?
28084Mr. Sage in?
28084No one else?
28084No one outside must know that----"But how the hell are we going to do that with Charley gone?
28084Not give their names?
28084Not letters?
28084Not necessary?
28084Nothing new?
28084Now, what are you going to do?
28084Now, what''s to be done?
28084Of course, you could n''t have happened to mention that it was a_ Turkish_ bath, Tommy, could you?
28084Oh, it is, is it?
28084Ordinary visit?
28084Perhaps he did not hear you?
28084Regular old cure, is n''t he?
28084Sex- repression?
28084Shall I serve luncheon, Sir James?
28084So that the first intimation you had of anything being wrong was what?
28084So that to get into the laboratory someone must have had a duplicate key?
28084So you are confident in your own mind that no amount of knocking at the door would have caused your master to open it?
28084Spyin''on us, was n''t you?
28084Sure it''s not the Shah of Persia and Charlie Chaplin?
28084Sure the Archbishop of Canterbury is n''t with her, Johnnie dear?
28084Swore he would do what?
28084Tell me, Sage, were you serious?
28084That all?
28084That all?
28084That was?
28084That you would not do as he wished?
28084That''s what_ I_ want to know; why is it?
28084The Foreign Office messengers?
28084The assault?
28084The bicycles are also kept in the garage, I take it?
28084The laboratory has been locked up?
28084The mask?
28084The pistol was the one he used at target- practice?
28084The police have already been?
28084The professor did not smoke?
28084The question is, Sage,broke in Mr. Llewellyn John tactfully,"what are we to do?"
28084The servants, of course, have access to this room?
28084Then from the time he got up until bedtime he wore the same clothes?
28084Then he must have opened it himself?
28084Then he was absolutely cut off?
28084Then perhaps you will open it?
28084Then the forced door was a blind?
28084Then you know who it is?
28084Then you think it was murder?
28084Then you think the murderer burnt the papers?
28084There is no doubt that it was the document itself that you put in the safe?
28084There were no signs of a struggle?
28084This episode in itself would not be sufficient to cause him to commit suicide?
28084This is the twenty- ninth maiming?
28084This man Hinds?
28084To identify the scent?
28084Until this episode you were on good terms with each other?
28084Was it the voice of a man of refinement or otherwise?
28084Was the light from the torch shining on your face?
28084Was there anything missing?
28084Was what?
28084Water, my Lady?
28084Well, I may as well tell you that you do n''t leave here until eleven o''clock to- morrow night, see?
28084Well, and what about it?
28084Well, what do you think of it?
28084Well, what is it?
28084Well, why_ do_ you?
28084Well?
28084Well?
28084Well?
28084Were letters ever taken to the laboratory?
28084What I want to know is what was the professor doing while the door was being broken open?
28084What I want to know is why do I bounce off my chair like an india- rubber ball when he buzzes?
28084What are you going to do for Mr. Sage, now that Department Z is being demobbed? 28084 What did Mr. Blade say?"
28084What did he say, really now?
28084What did he say?
28084What did they say to that?
28084What did you do then?
28084What do you advise us to do?
28084What do you make of the story of the assault?
28084What do you want?
28084What does he say?
28084What happened?
28084What made you first suspect Lady Glanedale?
28084What makes you think that?
28084What makes you think that?
28084What on earth are you talking about, John?
28084What on earth''s the matter?
28084What the hell do you mean?
28084What the hell''s all this about?
28084What time did Mr. Dane return last evening?
28084What was Mr. Challoner doing when you entered the room?
28084What was he actually doing?
28084What was that?
28084What was that?
28084What was the value of those stolen?
28084What were you proposing to do in the light of your refusal to break the engagement?
28084What''d I better do?
28084What''s the name of the fellow in Shaftesbury Avenue?
28084What''s wrong?
28084What?
28084When did you miss it?
28084When was the document put into the safe?
28084When you find the master- key?
28084When you found that his bed had not been slept in were you surprised?
28084When you told Mr. Dane that his uncle had not slept in his room, and that the library door was locked on the inside, what did he say?
28084Where did he keep it?
28084Where did you meet him first, Tommy?
28084Where do you keep the key?
28084Where do you keep the key?
28084Where does he dine?
28084Where is Burns?
28084Where the deuce did you get it?
28084Where was the document kept?
28084Which is your bedroom window?
28084Who cleaned the laboratory? 28084 Who else knew of the existence of the document?"
28084Who else?
28084Who else?
28084Who has access to the library in the ordinary way? 28084 Who is Hinds?"
28084Who took it from the safe then?
28084Who was it?
28084Who''s he?
28084Who''s he?
28084Why did you ask Gray to be present?
28084Why did you come to the window?
28084Why did you do that, Chief?
28084Why do I want to please him? 28084 Why do I what?"
28084Why do n''t you hurry up and become a man, Innocent,she demanded,"so that you can help the Chief?"
28084Why do you like the Chief, Tommy?
28084Why is it?
28084Why should you want to do this for me, Sir John?
28084Why were you there?
28084Why?
28084Why?
28084Will you tell me what took place yesterday between you and your uncle?
28084Would you have examined the contents?
28084Would you like me to cycle over to Odford to the police?
28084Yes, but_ why_ is it?
28084Yes; but can we prove it?
28084Yes; but how did you find Burns?
28084You advised?
28084You are certain of that?
28084You are in the habit of using it for valuable documents?
28084You are interested in monumental brasses?
28084You barmy?
28084You challenged him?
28084You did n''t happen to come anywhere near this spot, or walk upon the mould there?
28084You find it answers?
28084You have called about the burglary?
28084You have discovered nothing?
28084You have done as I suggested?
28084You have in mind certain events that occurred during the last few days, I take it?
28084You have no suspicion as to who it was that entered your room?
28084You have seen the accounts of my friend''s terrible end?
28084You have seen the body?
28084You heard no noise?
28084You knew?
28084You know of no reason why your uncle should take his life?
28084You know of no way by which anyone could have got into the library and then out again, other than through the door or the window?
28084You mean it''s Blade?
28084You really think that the Goldschmidt gang is Backing Jefferson?
28084You said, I think, that the key of the safe was sometimes left in an accessible place?
28084You told him?
28084You understand,said Malcolm Sage, looking at him sharply,"you_ or any other mechanic?
28084You want me, Mater?
28084You want to find Burns, I suppose?
28084You were confident he would win?
28084You were his greatest friend and his only confidant?
28084You wish me to take up the case, Sir John?
28084You''re going to find him then?
28084You''re not cross?
28084You''re sure about the sweeping- up?
28084You''ve got him as well?
28084You-- you promise?
28084Your secretary and Lady Grayne, for instance, they knew nothing about it?
28084( whom benefits it?
28084Am I right?"
28084As to leaving it on the table, what inveterate smoker would allow a pipe to lie on a table for any length of time unless he left it behind him?
28084Blade?"
28084But what makes him do things like he did for Miss Blair?"
28084By the way, I take it that you keep your safe locked?"
28084By the way, has anyone disturbed it?"
28084By the way, what is your line of defence?"
28084Can you remember them?"
28084Comminge?"
28084Dane?"
28084Did you read it?"
28084Do you happen to know if Professor McMurray had seen this?"
28084Do you think he would do that?"
28084Do you understand?"
28084Do you understand?"
28084Do you understand?"
28084For a moment Thompson thought deeply, then with sudden inspiration he said,"Why not move your table nearer his door?"
28084Glanedale?"
28084Goldschmidt?"
28084He admitted the importance of the Roman judicial interrogation,"cui bono?"
28084He''s not a bit like a detective, is he?"
28084I suppose, if necessary, you could arrange for twenty or thirty men to run down there?"
28084I was searching for a well- dressed man----""But how did you know he was well- dressed?"
28084II"So there is nothing?"
28084Now have you made up your mind?"
28084Now will you----?"
28084Papwith?"
28084Sage?"
28084Sage?"
28084Sage?"
28084Sage?"
28084Sage?"
28084Sage?"
28084Sage?"
28084Sage?"
28084Sage?"
28084Sage?"
28084Sage?"
28084Sage?"
28084See, dearest?"
28084She paused, then suddenly looking across at him she enquired,"What is loyalty, Tommy?"
28084Somebody''s going to do the dirty, otherwise they would n''t be so blasted clever about it?"
28084Then a moment later he enquired:"Do you usually sit up late?"
28084Then as he did not reply she continued:"Why does Tims like him, and the Innocent, and Sir James, and Sir John Dene, and the whole blessed lot of us?
28084Then, as if suddenly realising what Malcolm Sage''s question implied, he added:"You have interested yourself in the affair?"
28084What am I to do when I''m old and rheumaticky and the Chief does three on the buzzer?
28084What had happened?
28084What is it?"
28084What is the man like who has been condemned?"
28084What took place there?"
28084When did you begin to suspect Lady Glanedale?"
28084Whom did you leave in charge?"
28084Why do I want to kick myself when I make mistakes?
28084Why is it, Tommy, why?"
28084Why is it,"she demanded,"that when a woman writes a novel she always stunts the strong, silent man?"
28084Why is it?"
28084Why it is, I repeat?"
28084You allowed the quarter of an hour to elapse before you raised the alarm?"
28084You are sure the grate has not been touched?"
28084You blinkin''well barmy?"
28084You follow me?"
28084You get me, Honest John?"
28084You probably realised that your only chance lay in letting the enemy think you were losing consciousness?"
28084You understand?"
28084You were saying that you had discovered several things?"
28084You will keep your promise, dear, and save me, wo n''t you?
28084You wo n''t forget about the plunder from the garage?"
28084[ Illustration]"That is why you examined the under- edge of the door?"
28084he exploded,"why did n''t you think of that?"
28084how did they help you?"
28084if they''re so clever why do n''t they put a stop to this torturing of poor dumb beasts?"
28084what do we find?
28084what do you make of it?"
28084what''s that?"
28084would n''t I?"
28084you are, are you?"
27998''What do you mean, mother?'' 27998 A confession?
27998About eight o''clock, I suppose?
27998About whom?
27998All this looks very simple, does n''t it? 27998 Am I not your wife?
27998An engagement? 27998 And did he, Ben?"
27998And have you considered, too,Sir Allan continued,"how overwhelming the evidence is against you?"
27998And have you just come from----shire?
27998And if I did mean her, sir, what is that to you? 27998 And if there is, ai n''t it Miss Thurwell''s, you old stupid?"
27998And now you are here, are you going to stay?
27998And there are no rumors, no suspicions?
27998And who is it?
27998And you are going to London to- day, are you not, to see Dewes?
27998And you have got it nearly all in order now, Benjamin, eh? 27998 Any name?"
27998Any name?
27998Any other reason?
27998Are not you really thinking it a shocking waste of time to be here talking to two very unlearned women instead of seeking inspiration in your study?
27998Are they sorrows which you can tell to no one?
27998Are you afraid of being robbed?
27998Bernard, do you know so little of women, after all? 27998 But are there no other applications?"
27998But he was your father''s tenant, was he not?
27998But who does your cooking for you, and light the fires, and that sort of thing?
27998Ca n''t you tell him it''s let?
27998Call me a hansom, Grey, will you?
27998Can I call and see you to- morrow morning there?
27998Can he be saved? 27998 Can no one help you?"
27998Can you not see that it is morning? 27998 Can you not see, Mr. Maddison,"the lawyer said quietly,"that to some people this will seem almost like a tacit admission of guilt?"
27998Can you tell me anything at all of his antecedents?
27998Dad,he said quickly, without looking up,"leave this matter to me, will you?
27998Did anyone see it? 27998 Did you gather from his appearance that he was alarmed at finding you there?"
27998Did you kill Sir Geoffrey Kynaston?
27998Did you stay with her?
27998Did you-- do that?
27998Do I understand----?
27998Do n''t you see that this does away with our theory at once? 27998 Do you know him?"
27998Do you know where I saw him?
27998Do you know why I did that?
27998Do you know, Miss Thurwell, that you are proposing a conspiracy to me?
27998Do you like your room?
27998Do you live in darkness?
27998Do you mean who his family are?
27998Do you mind telling us your reasons?
27998Do you never feel that you would like to be back in the world again?
27998Do you remember a few lines of poetry of his at the end of his last volume of criticisms? 27998 Do you remember those?"
27998Do you suspect any one?
27998Do you-- may I bring him and introduce him to you?
27998Do you?
27998Does anyone-- know of this?
27998Does no one else know of this?
27998Does she know?
27998Father, I wonder whether Sir Allan Beaumerville has anything to do with this?
27998Good biz, eh?
27998Guv''nor in?
27998Had Sir Geoffrey a dog with him, Heggs?
27998Has anyone been inquiring for me?
27998Has anyone heard his gun?
27998Has he gone?
27998Has he-- shot himself?
27998Have I not told you, Bernard,she whispered,"that I will not let you go?"
27998Have they arrested Sir Allan?
27998Have you been seeing much of Sir Allen Beaumerville in town, Helen?
27998Have you heard the news? 27998 Have you sent for any help?"
27998Have you thought us long, Helen?
27998He did not find out anything, then?
27998He suspects, too, does he? 27998 How did he look?"
27998How do you know that he was wicked?
27998How do you think it came about?
27998How is it that you are alone here?
27998How long should you be away?
27998However did you come here, Helen?
27998I ca n''t live as I do without it, you know; and how are we to get the information we want? 27998 I remember,"he said;"you were staying at Mallory, were n''t you, when that sad affair to poor Kynaston happened?"
27998I suppose he did n''t disclose the nature of the papers?
27998I wonder whether you know that we have met before, Miss Thurwell?
27998I wonder who Mr. Maddison really is?
27998If it were to come now, how could I bear it to the end?
27998If this was to be done, why did we not do it?
27998If you are a man, tell me, is it true?
27998If you are ready, shall we go and remind her?
27998In his favor or the reverse?
27998In what part?
27998Is Morrison about?
27998Is breakfast ready?
27998Is it an accident?
27998Is it he?
27998Is it the prince?
27998Is it well? 27998 Is it you who wrote this?"
27998Is it-- very bad?
27998Is not this my home? 27998 Is that the room where you sit?"
27998Is that why you came to this desolate part of the world?
27998Is this true, Benjamin?
27998It is farewell between us now, Bernard, then?
27998It''s the expense, ai n''t it?
27998Lady or gentleman?
27998Like it? 27998 Looks jolly white about the gills to- night, does n''t he?"
27998Maddison, what is this?
27998May I have them?
27998May I not be your daughter?
27998Mr. Maddison is a neighbor of yours, is he not? 27998 My dear Sir Allan"--in Lady Thurwell''s silvery voice--"what will you think of such a late visit?
27998My dear child, have you taken leave of your senses?
27998My dear fellow, whatever made you snub poor Sir Allan like that?
27998Not Sir Allan Beaumerville?
27998Not in Italy?
27998Nothing has been discovered, I suppose, of the murderer?
27998Nothing more?
27998Of course you do n''t mean that charming Miss Thurwell?
27998Perhaps you would be so good as to sign this, then?
27998Say, guv''nor, you could n''t let me have a fiver, could you? 27998 See, Helen,"she cried,"is that innocence?
27998Shall I tell her anything from you?
27998Sir, by what right do you dare to enter my house by force, and against my command? 27998 Something in it, I think, Benjamin, eh?
27998That is your advice, is it?
27998The Mikado in disguise? 27998 The Miss Thurwell case is plain before us, is it not?
27998The murderer was never found, was he? 27998 The question is, what will you give us to get Mr. Maddison off?
27998Then I may rely upon you to keep this absolutely to yourself?
27998Then he gave you some references, I suppose?
27998Then may I take it that Miss Kynaston''s words have not-- damaged me in your esteem?
27998Then why do you linger here for one moment? 27998 Then why the devil do n''t you take her with you?"
27998Then will you tell him that some one-- some one who has seen such a place as he describes, is----?
27998Then you have an engagement?
27998Then you will be happy?
27998There is nothing more which it occurs to you to tell us, Miss Thurwell?
27998There is nothing more?
27998They have n''t caught the man yet, I suppose?
27998This will all come right, love,she whispered softly;"and it will make no difference, will it?
27998Was he very wild, then?
27998Was there anything special which made you fix on this neighborhood? 27998 We must see you at once in the interests of B. M. Can you call on us to- morrow morning?
27998Well, Leekson, what news?
27998Well, guv''nor?
27998Well, what news?
27998Well, who is he? 27998 Well?"
27998What am I to do?
27998What did you say to him, Ben?
27998What do you make of that, dad?
27998What do you mean? 27998 What do you think of that, guv''nor, eh?"
27998What does it mean? 27998 What is it, Benjamin-- what is it?"
27998What is it? 27998 What is it?"
27998What is the boy, or what am I to you?
27998What is to be done with the body?
27998What is your business with me?
27998What is your business?
27998What is your idea about it, then?
27998What was you thinking, Benjamin, my son?
27998What''s up now, guv''nor?
27998When are the assizes at York, father?
27998When can we start?
27998When will the time come, Benjamin?
27998Where have you been?
27998Where have you shown them, Roberts?--in the library?
27998Where is Geoffrey?
27998Where to? 27998 Where would you have me go?"
27998Where? 27998 Who are those men coming up the hill?
27998Who do you think is coming home?
27998Who has done this?
27998Who is it?
27998Who is that?
27998Who is the fortunate individual to be so highly favored?
27998Who knows but that to- morrow I may stand in the dock, charged with that hideous crime?
27998Who lives in that extraordinary- looking building-- Falcon''s Nest, I think you call it?
27998Who was it? 27998 Why do you ask?
27998Why do you ask?
27998Why do you stand out there?
27998Why do you stand there looking so fierce?
27998Why not telegraph to his solicitors?
27998Why should I?
27998Why? 27998 Why?"
27998Will that be enough?
27998Will you go on playing?
27998You are Helen Thurwell?
27998You are going back to the Court?
27998You are joking, of course, Miss Thurwell?
27998You are not at home to anyone else this afternoon, sir?
27998You do not mean that seriously?
27998You do not mind speaking to me, Miss Thurwell?
27998You go at nine o''clock, Bernard?
27998You have been traveling, have you not?
27998You have heard of it, I suppose?
27998You have heard of this matter, I suppose?
27998You have returned, then, Sir Allan?
27998You knew him, then?
27998You know Mr. Maddison, do n''t you?
27998You mean Maddison, do n''t you?
27998You mean about what Rachel Kynaston said that awful night, do n''t you?
27998You read all about it, I suppose?
27998You really mean this, Helen?
27998You remember those dying words of Rachel Kynaston?
27998You remember, papa, that awful scene here when Rachel Kynaston died, and what her last words to me were?
27998You surely would not let it to a man like that?
27998You will let me know immediately you have definite news?
27998Your father received my letter, I suppose?
27998''A Farewell,''you called it, I think?"
27998''Anything the matter?''
27998A lady, did you say, Morrison?"
27998A_ protégé_ of yours, I suppose, as he came here on your recommendation?"
27998After all, had she done wisely in coming here?
27998After all, she thought, why should it be otherwise?
27998Ai n''t it glorious, guv''nor?
27998Ai n''t it proud?"
27998And how long shall you be away?"
27998And if it is all denied to her, what is she to do?
27998And may I ask why I was kept in ignorance?"
27998And now, aunt, do you know what I came in to say to you?"
27998And now, what have you got to say?"
27998And who''ll get the credit of it all?
27998And, if so, need you go following this Mr. Maddison all over the country, eh?
27998Are you ever coming to take possession again?"
27998Are you prepared to spend a good deal of money?"
27998Are you sure that you wo n''t come?"
27998Ask you whether you be guilty?
27998Author, and all that sort of thing, is n''t he?
27998Brown?"
27998Brown?"
27998But he is not here, surely?"
27998But what could he say?
27998But you are all in darkness; and you have a visitor, have n''t you?"
27998But, you know that fellow Chapman, of Mallory?
27998CHAPTER VIII DID YOU KILL SIR GEOFFREY KYNASTON?
27998CHAPTER XI LEVY& SON, PRIVATE AGENTS"Anything in the letters, guv''nor?"
27998Can I put back the hand of time, and live my life over again?
27998Can anyone in their senses, knowing the story of your past hate, doubt it for one moment?
27998Can not you take money to withdraw from it?"
27998Can you do anything?"
27998Can you help?"
27998Can you see?"
27998Could any agony be keener than that which he had already tasted?
27998Could he sit by her side, and bandy idle words with her?
27998Could he take her name?"
27998Could his state be worse than it was?
27998Could it be that he was going to confess to her?
27998Could it be that their host''s illness had affected his brain?
27998Could it be that what her aunt had once laughingly hinted at was really going to happen?
27998Could it satisfy anyone?
27998Could n''t it be done without it, Ben?"
27998Could such a face as that be a murderer''s face?
27998Could these be the features of a murderer?
27998DARE YOU TAKE IT?"
27998DARE YOU TAKE IT?"
27998DID YOU KILL SIR GEOFFREY KYNASTON?
27998Dare she go forward?
27998Dare you take it?"
27998Dared he stay there?
27998Did I ever pretend to care for books and solitude?
27998Did I not forbid it?
27998Did I not tell you that I would not have you go?"
27998Did he not do his work properly?"
27998Did you?"
27998Do I know her?"
27998Do I understand-- is it possible that anything in those papers could lead people to fix upon you as the murderer of Sir Geoffrey Kynaston?"
27998Do n''t you remember having heard that name Thurwell lately?"
27998Do you hear, child?
27998Do you know anything?
27998Do you know who is expected?"
27998Do you owe nothing to yourself, and your own genius?
27998Do you remember what I told you when Miss Thurwell first came here, dad?"
27998Do you think a lonely life quite healthy-- mentally healthy, I mean?"
27998Do you think that they can play at love in this give- and- take fashion?"
27998For, though he might never know it, were not his sorrows her sorrows?
27998Give me the keys, will you?"
27998Gladstone?"
27998Got clean off?"
27998Had it really ever satisfied him?
27998Had she not better leave the thing to the proper authorities, and content herself with offering a reward?
27998Had their host suddenly gone mad, or had those empty bottles of Heidseck which had just been removed from his end of the table anything to do with it?
27998Has anyone been making love to you?"
27998Has he been exercising a landlord''s privilege, too?"
27998Have I not suffered and done penance-- ay, until I had even thought that I had won for myself peace and rest and forgiveness?
27998Have I the power to beckon to those hills yonder, and bid them bow their everlasting heads?
27998Have you forgotten what hangs over you-- or can you be so mad as to think that he has forgiven?
27998Have you fully realized that you may be arrested at any moment on this frightful charge?"
27998He ca n''t escape?"
27998He has been killed-- like this?"
27998Her one thought was, could she buy those papers?
27998How could he add another to her sorrows by telling her of the peril in which he stood?
27998How could he?
27998How could it be otherwise?
27998How could she tell him this?
27998How do I know that Brown is n''t a retired tallow- chandler or something of that sort?"
27998How do you know that?"
27998How far?"
27998I may so, father, may I not?"
27998I suppose it''s about that murder we were mixed up in?
27998I think I''ve expressed it fairly, father?"
27998I wonder what or where his people are?
27998If he could have seen her a few days back in the office of Messrs. Levy& Son, would he look at her as he was doing now?
27998If he should be innocent, and the time should come when he discovered all, what would he think of her?
27998Is he-- dead?"
27998Is it an accident?
27998Is it anything that will prove his innocence?"
27998Is it not you who followed him from city to city all over the world, seeking always his life?
27998Is it not you who have fought with him and been worsted, and sworn to carry your enmity with you through life, and bury it only in his grave?
27998Is it not you who kept him for many years from his native land for fear of blood- shed-- yours or his?
27998Is n''t it, aunt?"
27998Is that your creed?"
27998Is the man caught?"
27998Is there blood upon your hands?''
27998Is this just, in my old age, to pour down this fire of punishment upon my bowed head?
27998Is this my punishment?
27998It had been an artist''s dream-- or had it been the man''s?
27998It had satisfied the brain; had it nothing to offer the heart?
27998Joy and sorrow, what were they but abstract states of the mind?
27998Let me pass, will you?
27998Maddison?"
27998Maddison?"
27998Maddison?"
27998Maddison?"
27998Maddison?"
27998Maddison?"
27998May I give you an illustration?
27998May I see?"
27998May I, who have failed so utterly, give you just one word of advice?"
27998Might I trouble you to put the matter in as short a form as possible, then?"
27998Miss Helen promised us a little music, did n''t she?"
27998Money there, eh?"
27998No fresh business, eh, my son?"
27998Nothing has ever been heard of the murderer, I suppose?"
27998Now, will you listen to me?"
27998Of course I know all about his writing and that; but what family is he of?
27998Only tell me this: you do not doubt me now?"
27998Only, after a while, Helen asked quietly:"Sir Allan-- must he confess?"
27998Ought she to tell him?
27998Shall I give you some?"
27998Shall I tell him your name?"
27998Should she confess to him frankly why she had gone there, and ask his pardon for such a wild thought?
27998Sir Geoffrey Kynaston, did you say it was?
27998Suppose we say five thousand the lowest, eh?"
27998Supposing she were discovered here?
27998Thank you, Mr. Maddison,"she added, as he held the door open for her;"be merciful to the absent, wo n''t you?"
27998That''s what we want, is n''t it?"
27998The Khedive incognito?
27998The head is perfect, is it not?
27998The high sheriff''s a friend of mine, so I got him to pass me in at the same time; but if you''d rather see Dewes alone, you''ll say so, wo n''t you?"
27998The question with you, I presume, is-- can he be saved?"
27998Then who is with you in the house?"
27998There is nothing fresh, is there?
27998There is something sweet in that, is there not?"
27998To whom?"
27998Understand?"
27998Was I right or wrong?"
27998Was even this to be denied him?
27998Was he not a fool to refuse to enter into paradise, when the gates stood open for him?
27998Was he not human like other men?
27998Was it a sin to think so?
27998Was it merely curiosity, or had he any object in it?"
27998Was it not all a mistake?
27998Was it you who killed Sir Geoffrey Kynaston?
27998Was the boy mad?
27998Was there not, after all, just a chance that her former suspicions were correct?
27998Was this all that remained?
27998Was this new joy, of having seen and spoken to her, a better thing?
27998Was this the face and the tongue of a murderer?
27998Were there lower depths still in the hell of remorse?
27998What comfort could his much- studied philosophy afford him?
27998What could avail against such evidence as this?
27998What could hesitation mean but guilt?
27998What could this visit in the middle of the season mean?
27998What did that look in her face mean-- that look of anguish, of fear, of horror?
27998What does he do?"
27998What does it all mean?
27998What had come to her?
27998What had he said?
27998What had life been before?
27998What had she heard?
27998What have you been doing to yourself, child?
27998What is it you were going to tell me about him?"
27998What is it, Roberts?"
27998What need was there for it?
27998What shall I do?
27998What shall I do?"
27998What shall you do?"
27998What was it that caused his eyes to droop till they rested upon two figures on the opposite pavement?
27998What will aunt think of us?
27998What would n''t I give for a pint of Bass like they draw at the Blue Boar?
27998What''s become of Sir Geoffrey Kynaston, Heggs?"
27998Where have you been?"
27998Where is Lathon?"
27998Where was the afterglow?
27998Where was the philosophy of nursing such, of giving them a home even for a moment?
27998Where?"
27998Where?"
27998Which is he, sir?"
27998Who is this Bernard Maddison?
27998Who lives in that queer- looking place yonder?"
27998Who the mischief is it?"
27998Who was that young man who came down here to help Johnson with the auditing, and who went away so suddenly?
27998Why did he do that horrible thing?"
27998Why did she not speak, even though it were to accuse him?
27998Why do n''t you escape while you have the chance?"
27998Why had she come to this place, and put herself in the power of these men?
27998Why should she go away now?
27998Why?"
27998Will you agree to these terms?"
27998Will you stand aside and let me pass?"
27998With her joyless life, and with this new misery closing around her, would it not be well for her to die?
27998Wo n''t you have something to ask him-- some day-- perhaps?"
27998Would I tell him that my oath had been buried with the old life, and that I would seek no harm to my old enemy?
27998Would not this be better than meeting him again in a crowded London drawing- room?
27998Would you mind telling it to me?"
27998You are not going away without my permission, sir?"
27998You got my note?"
27998You have read his note?"
27998You know why we''ve called?
27998You know your way about, do n''t you?
27998You think this thing played out, do you?
27998You understand that?"
27998You would fear annihilation less?"
27998You would rather be Sir Geoffrey Kynaston, then, than his murderer, even now?"
27998You''ve got him under your thumb, eh?
27998and who is it, Mr. Carlyon?
27998are you an enthusiast, Miss Thurwell?"
27998asked Helen, smiling,"men of the world or women of the world?"
27998did you hear that?
27998this vague unsettlement of his being, which played havoc with his thoughts, and stirred up a whole host of strange new feelings in his heart?
27998what was that?"
27998who''s that?"
26447About Sylvia? 26447 Ai n''t I a prophet?
26447Ai n''t you going to wish me luck?
26447Am I to reopen a forgotten history?
26447Am I, by gum? 26447 An''why, I''d like to know?"
26447An''wot are_ you_ grinnin''at? 26447 And how was the wine?"
26447And must I wear an ass''s head to be in character?
26447And the bedrooms?
26447And you kem this way at once?
26447Any cartridges?
26447Any harm to whom, or what?
26447Any luck?
26447Any male relations?
26447Any progress?
26447Any second signal?
26447Are n''t you pleased with Tomlinson, then?
26447Are the gentlemen still in the dining- room?
26447Are there other members of the family?
26447Are we going to admit ourselves beaten by a half- bred hound like Hilton Fenley? 26447 Are we marriage brokers, then?"
26447Are you by any chance telling the truth?
26447Are you coming here tonight?
26447Are you quite sure?
26447Are you still wondering what the extrados of a voussoir is?
26447Are you sure?
26447Are you there?
26447Are you, too, an expert marksman?
26447Are_ you_ Signor Maselli? 26447 As how?"
26447As to the missing rifle-- can you help us there?
26447Bates,he said, turning a determined eye on the keeper,"where was you when you heard the shot?"
26447Been so for twenty years?
26447Beg pardon, gentlemen both, but may I put in a word?
26447Ben who?
26447Brodie,said Furneaux, seeming to pounce on the chauffeur,"you were seated at the wheel when the shot was fired?"
26447But Miss Manning can not have lived here all her life? 26447 But if you imagine it might not have been Miss Garth who made the call, why are you here?"
26447But should that artist be questioned?
26447But was there an accomplice? 26447 But what for?
26447But who the devil could have taken it?
26447But why are you blaming Farrow? 26447 But why has he mizzled over the wall?"
26447But why?
26447But, I ask you, is it quite fair to make me a witness against my brother?
26447But,_ chérie_, what have I done?
26447By appointment, sir?
26447By jing, sir, did they fire at him?
26447By the way, sir,he added, when Trenholme had passed through the wicket,"did you hear a shot fired while you was in the park?"
26447By the way,he said suddenly,"are you aware that there is a sort of a theory that your father was shot by a rifle belonging to you?"
26447By the way,said Furneaux carelessly,"is Mr. Robert at home?"
26447Ca n''t you put matters more plainly?
26447Can I do anything else for you, sir?
26447Can you fix the hour?
26447Can you suggest any means whereby I can grasp your jokes without being bored to weariness? 26447 Come, now, Bates,"said Furneaux,"you can tell us the day Mr. Robert Fenley left home recently?
26447Confound it, how? 26447 Could that be the shot I heard?"
26447Damn your eyes, are you speaking to me?
26447Did Mary drop a hint as to what the row was about?
26447Did he tell you he meant returning to London at once?
26447Did he, indeed? 26447 Did he, now?
26447Did n''t Mr. Hilton mention it, sir?
26447Did she marry again?
26447Did you bathe this morning?
26447Did you hear a shot fired somewhere?
26447Did you hit him very hard?
26447Did you see any one among the trees?
26447Did you see nothing-- not even a puff of smoke? 26447 Did you see the artist of whom Mr. Fenley spoke?"
26447Did you tell me that only you and Police Constable Farrow visited this part of the wood?
26447Do you care to discuss your brother''s extraordinary behavior?
26447Do you mean your father''s death?
26447Do you mean, sir, that I can show myself?
26447Do you mind asking Mr. Tomlinson if he can come here for a moment?
26447Do you smoke?
26447Do you suspect any one of committing this murder?
26447Do you think, sir, he is making for London?
26447Do you want me to stand you two a day? 26447 Do you want me?"
26447Does he think I''m afraid of that sort of brewer''s drayman, or of a little man with eyes like a ferret, either? 26447 Does_ he_ have a fire?"
26447Eh? 26447 Fenley?
26447Friendly?
26447Giovanni Maselli, may I ask what you are talking about?
26447Gone where?
26447Good, is n''t it?
26447Got what bad?
26447Had he quarreled with your father?
26447Has it been used recently?
26447Have n''t you been told? 26447 Have the local police discovered anything of importance?"
26447Have you any theory, however remote or far- fetched, that will account for your father''s death in such a way?
26447Have you breath enough left to blow your whistles?
26447Have you ever tried to find out?
26447Have you got the man?
26447Have you lunched?
26447Have you one?
26447Have you visited your City office today?
26447Hello, Tom,he said,"where is the doctor?"
26447Her mother? 26447 How can I tell you?"
26447How can Miss Manning give written instructions unless she knows I am here?
26447How can we get those clodhoppers out of the wood?
26447How changed? 26447 How could I ask you such a thing?
26447How did you happen on our tiny village? 26447 How do they live?"
26447How do you think he''d look in a nice straw hat?
26447How many what?
26447How many?
26447How the deuce do I know? 26447 How were you seated during breakfast?"
26447I ask this just as a matter of form, but did Mr. Robert Fenley take his.450 Express rifle when he went away on Saturday?
26447I hope you are enjoying your dinner, gentlemen both?
26447I need hardly put it to you, but you saw no one in or near the trees?
26447I say, old girl, what the deuce are you doin''--in the park-- at this time o''night?
26447I suppose, Mr. Fenley, you have seen your father''s solicitors today?
26447I take it he has not been home since leaving here on Saturday?
26447I wonder what became of the rest of that wine?
26447If I go there, then, shall I be locked up?
26447In what respect?
26447Is Miss Sylvia Manning engaged to be married?
26447Is either Mr. Hilton or Mr. Robert engaged to be married? 26447 Is it now?
26447Is it so very-- dreadful, then?
26447Is n''t Mrs. Fenley in her room?
26447Is n''t he a gem?
26447Is n''t that Miss Sylvia?
26447Is she a stout, red- faced woman?
26447Is she so ill that she can not be seen?
26447Is she so wealthy, then?
26447Is that all, sir?
26447Is that all?
26447Is that one of Hilton''s dodges to get me into trouble?
26447Is that your rifle?
26447Is the first Mrs. Fenley dead?
26447Is there any reason whatsoever for believing that one of these young men may be a parricide?
26447It was not an ideally happy household, I take it?
26447It would be a pity to spoil one of your high- class jokes; so what was the reason?
26447It''s funny, is n''t it, that my rifle should be missing?
26447Jer see anybody?
26447Jim, of the Royal Artillery?
26447Known him long?
26447Look here, Hilton, old chap, are you really in earnest?
26447May I ask who you''re talking about?
26447May I ask why?
26447May I have a word with Miss Garth?
26447May I inquire if you have made any progress in the particular inquiry for which I brought you here?
26447May I see it?
26447Meaning Miss Manning?
26447Meaning Mr. Trenholme, sir?
26447Miss Garth in?
26447Mistake, sir? 26447 Mr. Hilton Fenley saw Miss Manning and myself, and mistook me for----""Saw you?
26447Mr. Hilton Fenley''s compliments, gentlemen, and will you try this port? 26447 Mr. Hilton''s car?
26447Mr. Mortimer Fenley was a kindly employer?
26447Mr.--Mr. Winter, is n''t it?
26447Must I be lashed by your wit, too? 26447 Must I go into these delicate matters, sir?"
26447Nine thirty this morning, sir?
26447No birds were startled before the shot was fired?
26447No private feud? 26447 None of you have any notion which direction he took?"
26447Not even from the house, sir?
26447Now, Mr. Fenley, can you tell me where your brother is?
26447Now, did you form any opinion as to the cause of this bickering? 26447 Of my efforts?"
26447Oh, he did, did he? 26447 Oh, is there another entrance?"
26447Oh, was_ that_ it? 26447 Oh, what is it?"
26447Oh, what is it?
26447Oh, you''ve been here before, then?
26447Oh,_ you_''ve condescended to get up, have you?
26447Pay? 26447 Playin''Puss in the Corner, I suppose?
26447Police Constable Farrow?
26447Putting himself right with Miss Manning? 26447 Rather risky, is n''t it, firing bullets in a place like this?"
26447Really?
26447Regarding those addresses you speak of, what are they?
26447Scores of times-- in four months?
26447Sneakin'', you call it? 26447 So it is only a''bus driver''s holiday?"
26447So no one could have left by the Easton gate without meeting you?
26447So you, like me, have done nothing?
26447So you, like the rest of us, feel utterly unable to assign a motive for this crime?
26447Speaking absolutely in confidence, have you formed a theory as to this murder?
26447Suppose I refuse?
26447Surely there are scores of good families in this neighborhood?
26447Sylvia has actually agreed to that?
26447That you, Tom?
26447That''s in France, is n''t it?
26447The artist?
26447The four always met at breakfast, then?
26447Then you did not telephone Bishopsgate Street earlier?
26447Then you heard what my cousin Robert said?
26447There is n''t a cock robin or a jenny wren left in the country.... As a mere formality, what magazine are you working for?
26447There is virtue, I perceive, in a bottle of Château Yquem-- or was it two?
26447They know who did it, then?
26447Till what time, sir?
26447Tomlinson, do you drink port?
26447WHO HATH DONE THIS THING?
26447Was he upset at all in his manner?
26447Was it you who got that punch in the tummy?
26447Was your father married twice?
26447Well, miss, you know why you went out?
26447Well, she said-- what was it, exactly? 26447 Well, what is it?"
26447Well,he said furiously,"who are you, and what the blazes do you want here?
26447Were the brothers, or half brothers, on good terms with each other?
26447Were there no footprints?
26447Were you looking at the wood?
26447What about Mr. Furneaux if I am called out almost immediately?
26447What about petrol? 26447 What about that artist, Trenholme?"
26447What action?
26447What are they to do, sir? 26447 What can one expect?"
26447What clock,_ ma belle_?
26447What did he say? 26447 What did he say?"
26447What did you think of his boots?
26447What do you make of''em, Charles?
26447What do you mean? 26447 What else could it be?"
26447What is it now?
26447What is that?
26447What is the name of the woman with whom your brother is mixed up?
26447What leads you to form that opinion?
26447What man, sir?
26447What mistake? 26447 What of Robert?
26447What of the sons?
26447What station?
26447What the blazes do you mean?
26447What the devil has Miss Manning''s matrimonial prospects got to do with this inquiry?
26447What things?
26447What villain?
26447What was her grievance against poor Mortimer Fenley?
26447What was_ he_ doin'', the lazy- bones, that he could n''t catch the villain?
26447What''s at the back of your head with regard to the artist and Miss Sylvia?
26447What''s happened at The Towers, sir? 26447 What''s the use of holding a sort of inquiry on the doorstep?"
26447What''s up now, and what''s the racket in the park?
26447What''s up now?
26447What''s up now?
26447What?
26447When did Farrow arrive?
26447When did he leave?
26447When did my brother return from London?
26447When did you decide to marry Sylvia?
26447Where are you? 26447 Where did the pheasants fly from?"
26447Where is it?
26447Where is this gun room?
26447Where? 26447 Which one?"
26447Which way did Miss Sylvia go?
26447Which way did he go?
26447Who is that little lot?
26447Who is the lady you are speaking of?
26447Who is the man with her?
26447Who was it, then? 26447 Who''s been here, an''not so long ago, neither?"
26447Who?
26447Whose boot is this?
26447Why Miss Sylvia?
26447Why did Mr. Hilton turn over these new leaves on Monday and Tuesday?
26447Why did n''t you try something of the sort with regard to Fenley''s bonds?
26447Why did your brother rush off in such an extraordinary hurry?
26447Why do you say''rifle''? 26447 Why do you trouble to bring such nonsense to my ears?"
26447Why do you want Miss Garth?
26447Why in the world should any one want to shoot my poor old guv''nor? 26447 Why not?
26447Why not?
26447Why should we seek far- fetched theories for so simple a thing as a stroll out of doors on a night like this? 26447 Why so pensive an attitude, James?"
26447Why the deuce did n''t you tell me that?
26447Why then did those sons fight shy of touching their father''s body? 26447 Why, what''s the matter, Eliza?"
26447Why?
26447Why?
26447Why?
26447Why?
26447Why?
26447Will you kindly be more explicit?
26447With reference to the rifle which has been mentioned-- where is it kept?
26447Wot was it he said about my char- ac- ter?
26447Would you make the position a little clearer, sir?
26447Would you mind telling me, Mr. Furneaux, why you are so sure?
26447You are Mr. John Trenholme, I take it? 26447 You are Mr. Trenholme, I suppose?"
26447You are not sure?
26447You did n''t really think she would-- eh, what? 26447 You do n''t know anything about Miss Sylvia Manning, do n''t you?"
26447You gentlemen will dine in my room, I hope?
26447You hardly expected to meet me here, I suppose?
26447You have never heard, I suppose, of Mr. Fenley receiving any threatening letters?
26447You have not looked for it today?
26447You have not seen him since?
26447You heard the firing, of course? 26447 You know the.450 Express which is in the gun rack in Mr. Robert''s den?"
26447You saw me at once?
26447You sketched me? 26447 You were going to say that the wretch who killed my uncle hid in that wood?"
26447You would be likely to know if he had returned?
26447You''ll see that artist, Trenholme?
26447You''re quite sure there is no mistake?
26447You''ve been up to your tricks, have you? 26447 You''ve lost your man, then?"
26447Again, how many rifles are there in the united parishes of Roxton and Easton of the type which fires expanding bullets?"
26447Am I a necromancer, a wizard, or eke a thought reader?"
26447An''wot may that be, sir?"
26447And do you feel able to take these gentlemen to London?"
26447And one last question-- do you return to Roxton tonight?"
26447And what game are you playing with this artist, Trenholme?"
26447And who''s Trenholme, I''d like to know?"
26447Are you fitted to take the reins or share his responsibility?
26447Are you from Scotland Yard, sir?"
26447Are you taking up painting seriously?"
26447Are you too tired?"
26447But aloud he said--"You really do n''t know the lady''s name, I suppose?"
26447But how the deuce did you manage to hit upon Farrow?"
26447But is he dead?
26447But shall we ever know who killed him?"
26447But she''s a mighty nice girl, is n''t she?"
26447But what was he doin''in Roxton at arf past twelve?
26447But where would Hilton be then?
26447But, given no picture, what is the answer?
26447By the way, who will go with you?"
26447CHAPTER II"WHO HATH DONE THIS THING?"
26447Ca n''t we amalgamate something, or somebody?"
26447Can I be of any service?"
26447Can he have a bedroom in the house?"
26447Can you give me a friendly word?"
26447Can you manage that?"
26447Chuck it, ca n''t you?
26447Could he hire a motor car or bicycle?
26447Could you manage another run to town?
26447Dash it all, if you wanted a bit of a stroll why did n''t you send for me?
26447Did n''t you say all the Fenleys were rubbish?
26447Did or did not Sylvia accept you?"
26447Did that hussy lie to me?
26447Do n''t tell anybody I spoke of it or they''ll think me a funny detective, wo n''t they?"
26447Do n''t you remember, some French blighter said that when an innocent man was being made a political scapegoat?...
26447Do n''t you see how the scheme works?
26447Do n''t you see, Miss Manning?
26447Do you attend to Mr. Robert''s suite?"
26447Do you know Eliza, of the White Horse?"
26447Do you know him?"
26447Do you like it?"
26447Do you reelly think a hop- o''-me- thumb like that can be a Scotland Yard man?
26447Do you remain?"
26447Do you remember, Sylvia?"
26447Do you remember, in the''Nibelungenlied,''that Hagen is forced to prove his innocence by touching Siegfried''s corpse-- and fails?
26447Do you remember?"
26447Do you take the point?"
26447Do you?
26447Does life consist then, in flitting from hotel to hotel, from train to steamship?
26447Eleven during those four months?"
26447Even if she wetted her feet, what did it matter, as she would undress promptly on returning to her room?
26447Fenley?"
26447Fenley?"
26447Fenley?"
26447Fenley?"
26447Fool that he was, why had he fought?
26447For instance, did you imagine that Mr. Fenley wished his son to break off relations with an undesirable acquaintance?"
26447For instance, who and what were the Garths, mother and daughter?
26447Furneaux?"
26447Get Tomlinson to talk, or anybody else, but keep me out of it-- d''ye hear?"
26447Got that?"
26447Had he any right to place on her slim shoulders the weight of an avowal from which he had flinched?
26447Had some one seen her leaving the house?
26447Have you a plan of any sort?"
26447Have you caught any man?"
26447Have you ever read the autobiography of that great artist and very complete rascal, Benvenuto Cellini?
26447Have you examined Mr. Mortimer Fenley''s papers, for instance?
26447Have you one, or are you just as much in the dark as the rest of us?"
26447Have you read the report of the Fenley murder in the evening papers?"
26447He could have evolved a theory of the crime as subtle as any detective''s, and who so keen- witted as a son eager to avenge a father''s murder?
26447He''s ripe for any mischief, is Hilton, but he ca n''t be in this hole; now, can he?"
26447Here?"
26447How about the wood?"
26447How can_ you_ know what his brother knew?"
26447How could there be?
26447How near are you?"
26447How would that be?"
26447How would they have fared if asked to produce the beginning?"
26447How''s that for a test after a big night?
26447I do hope I have n''t put you to any inconvenience?"
26447I do n''t wonder at any artist wishing to sketch Miss Manning?
26447I forget-- Alexander, is it?"
26447I suppose the detective has not impounded your sketch?"
26447I''appened to pass your room, an''who could help lookin''in?
26447I''m told you did n''t see anything in the park which led you to believe that a crime had been committed?"
26447If a leg was missing, too, there was n''t much of Jim left, was there?"
26447If, however, owing to the forensic skill of an advocate, romance might be held accountable for the wanderings of John and Sylvia, what of Robert?
26447Is he so precious then?
26447Is it strange that I should linger in the shrine?
26447Is it such that any artist will testify that I was busily engaged?
26447Is it through association with me?
26447Is n''t Eileen Garth a bit coy at times?"
26447Is n''t half the battle won when we find the woman?"
26447Is n''t that all right, sir?"
26447Is n''t that what you were doing?
26447Is that an important detail?"
26447Is that the Fenley?"
26447Is that true?"
26447Is that true?"
26447Is there even one?
26447It''s a licker-- eh, what?"
26447It_ is_ Robert, is n''t it?"
26447Just how did he come to find the car waiting for him?"
26447Just send for it, will you?"
26447May I arsk wot it was?
26447May I come in?
26447Moreover, suppose you treat the law with disdain, how do you propose explaining your actions to Miss Sylvia Manning?"
26447Motor bikes make a fellow a bit of a vagabond-- eh, what?
26447Mr. Furneaux, I''m sure you have not forgotten that Château Yquem?"
26447No dismissed servant, sent off because of theft or drunkenness?"
26447No evasions about Tomlinson, are there?"
26447Not Mortimer Fenley?"
26447Now these rooms show signs of tenancy, eh?"
26447Now, a shrewd if narrow intelligence was concentrated on the one tremendous question,"Who hath done this thing?"
26447Now, how long have you lived in Gloucester Mansions?"
26447Now, the obvious question was,"Why, she being such an attractive young lady?"
26447Now, where are you?
26447Of course, the rooms have been dusted regularly since he disappeared on Saturday?"
26447Oh, miss, what has become of her?
26447On her lonesome?"
26447Or, I had better put it, had their father expressed any views as to either of his sons marrying suitably?"
26447Putting brother Bob into the tureen, is n''t he?
26447Robert?"
26447Same name?"
26447See?"
26447Shall we return to the house?"
26447Shall we start now?"
26447She must have been abroad, at school, for instance?"
26447She was more puzzled- like-- kep''on mutterin'':''Who did it?
26447Since I am here, I may inquire if you know any one living at 104, Hendon Road, Battersea Park?"
26447Stern?"
26447THE SETTLEMENT 324 THE STRANGE CASE OF MORTIMER FENLEY CHAPTER I THE WATER NYMPHS Does an evil deed cast a shadow in advance?
26447That''s where we differ, see?"
26447The day we have lost our father is hardly a fitting time for such a discussion; or shall I say ceremony?"
26447The policeman, Farrow, refused to arrest the artist, and is now searching the wood with a number of our men----""Ca n''t they be stopped?"
26447Their marriage had been planned by the arbiter of their destinies, and who were they that they should gainsay that august decision?
26447Things have n''t been happening while you were away, have they?"
26447This Miss Eileen Garth is English, of course?"
26447Tomlinson, can you tell me what the extrados of a voussoir is?"
26447Tomlinson?"
26447Trenholme-- where?"
26447Trenholme?"
26447Trenholme?"
26447Very well; where is the result?
26447Was he not a repository of secrets?
26447Was it Hilton who spread this story about my gun?"
26447Was it shooting I heard a while since?"
26447We must hide behind it, on the lower side.... Is this the place?
26447Were these two young people of the same way of thinking?"
26447What do you think?
26447What does it matter if he was?
26447What else_ can_ there be?"
26447What had he gained by his impetuous actions?
26447What more do you want?"
26447What object could I have in deceiving you?"
26447What other mind in Roxton would picture to itself the havoc caused by an expanding bullet?
26447What plea could you have urged for spying on a lady in an open- air bath if deprived of the only valid one?"
26447What really happened?"
26447What so easy, therefore, as to wander out in a welter of grief and anger, and search the wood for the murderer on his own account?
26447What the deuce do you mean, sir?"
26447What the deuce has my smoking got to do with it?"
26447What was I doing?
26447What was to be done?
26447What would you like for dinner?"
26447What''ll you be sayin''next?"
26447What''s his other name?
26447What''s she after, I''d like to know?"
26447What''s the rush?
26447What''s up?"
26447What''s_ your_ idea about it?
26447When the man disappeared he muttered--"Why are you stroking everybody''s fur the wrong way, Charles?"
26447When?"
26447Where did the pheasants show up?"
26447Where did you retrieve that dirty towel?"
26447Where is Jenkins?"
26447Where is it now?"
26447Where is your aunt?"
26447Where to first, Hilton?"
26447Where was it found?"
26447Where''s Brodie?
26447Where''s your nerve?"
26447Where?"
26447Whither should he go?
26447Who benefits?
26447Who could have the cool darin''to shoot him dead in broad daylight, at his own door, before his servants?''
26447Who could it be?
26447Who else can it be?
26447Who had charge of the Paris end?"
26447Who killed him?
26447Who put that clock in my room?"
26447Who the deuce is that fellow, an''what are you doing here?"
26447Who would bother about a glass in a house where murder had been done?
26447Why are you here?
26447Why are you losing time?
26447Why did you let them do it?"
26447Why did you pay us a visit?"
26447Why has n''t Sheldon reported?"
26447Why is it?"
26447Why not pick up a tenner?
26447Why not plain''gun''?"
26447Why should I?"
26447Why should Mr. Trenholme, if that is his name, have the audacity to call on Miss Manning?
26447Why should anybody take my gun if they wanted to shoot my poor old guv''nor?
26447Why should he?
26447Why should n''t I say it?
26447Why should n''t he?
26447Why was he flying?
26447Will you do as I ask, sir?"
26447Will you kindly come?
26447Will you kindly explain our position to your Chief Constable?
26447Will you ring off, and find out from the exchange who''phoned here two minutes ago?
26447Winter followed with the doctor, and inquired in an undertone--"Are you sure about the soft- nosed bullet, doctor?"
26447Wot, sir?"
26447Would n''t that be a good idea?
26447Would she be angered?
26447Would those limpid blue eyes, violet now in shadow, be raised to his in protest and vexed dismay?
26447Would you mind sending the girl here?
26447Yet who could guess what a snare for an artist''s feet lay in those few words?
26447You are not going cityward, I suppose?"
26447You knew I''d come like a shot-- eh, what?"
26447You understand you are not to keep a sharp lookout for me?"
26447You understand?"
26447You will give orders to Farrow to that effect, Inspector?"
26447You''ve seen both sons, of course?"
26447_ Is_ it a murder?"
27549A lady?
27549A secret from me?
27549A strange man?
27549About what?
27549After you made the discovery, how did you act?
27549And also makes plain that poor Mrs. Courtenay met with foul play?
27549And did n''t the old gentleman know of his wife''s absence?
27549And do you agree with me, further, that it is the outcome of the tragedy at Kew?
27549And failed-- eh?
27549And how is it believed that the poor young lady got into the water?
27549And is Mrs. Courtenay at home?
27549And is he engaged upon my poor husband''s case?
27549And is not that your opinion?
27549And is that often?
27549And leaves you at home to look after the invalid?
27549And now that he suspects the truth he''s disinclined to have any more to do with her-- eh? 27549 And the mystery surrounding the death of Mr. Courtenay-- was it never cleared up?
27549And the old gentleman? 27549 And the result?"
27549And to tell him some pretty little fiction about her?
27549And what did you do?
27549And what doctor has seen her?
27549And what has been done?
27549And what has he found?
27549And what have you discovered? 27549 And when shall we meet again?"
27549And why did you do that, pray?
27549And you are now prosecuting them in the direction of Ethelwynn?
27549And you believe that Ethelwynn''s patience is exhausted?
27549And you love me quite as truly and as well as you did a year ago?
27549And you will never think ill of me?
27549And your friend Jevons? 27549 Annoyed?"
27549Anyone, in order to enter the dead man''s room, must have passed your door, I think?
27549Are n''t you well?
27549Are you quite certain of this?
27549Are you quite certain that you''ve never seen him with any stranger at nights?
27549At the usual place?
27549At what time?
27549Busy, eh?
27549But could it not have been done without the sacrifice of that man''s life?
27549But do you consider such a course wise at this stage of the inquiry? 27549 But do you think that the assassin is a member of the household?
27549But how do you know of his existence? 27549 But how does this further our inquiries, or throw any light on the tragedy?"
27549But if I do that will you give me a vow of secrecy?
27549But if you loved me, as you declare you have always done, why did you desert me in that manner?
27549But in the months that have gone by surely the police should have at least made some discovery?
27549But is it not strange that Mary is still absent?
27549But is it really necessary?
27549But is not your absence to- night rather unusual?
27549But is there danger?
27549But is there undoubtedly foul play, Short?
27549But our future life?
27549But surely he has died from natural causes-- eh?
27549But surely you can tell me the nature of your discoveries?
27549But the final letter?
27549But the tragedy?
27549But the wound-- how was it inflicted?
27549But this man Slade?
27549But what ground has he for suspicion?
27549But what has he discovered? 27549 But what object can she have in telling me an untruth?"
27549But who could have killed him?
27549But who could possibly have any motive for the poor little woman''s death?
27549But will your love last always?
27549But you are in possession of certain strange facts-- eh?
27549But you know people in Birmingham, do n''t you? 27549 But you will at least satisfy my curiosity upon one point?"
27549Can not we act in accord in this matter, dearest? 27549 Can not you give me some reason for your desire that my friendship with him should end?"
27549Care to accompany you?
27549Changed them from one direction to another?
27549Concerns you?
27549Dead?
27549Did I not tell you that we were on the eve of a discovery, and that the dead man lying there could have told us the truth?
27549Did anyone see him sufficiently close to recognise him?
27549Did n''t the police follow that manservant Short?
27549Did you ever suspect me of being the assassin?
27549Do n''t you remember that you went to London with the Hennikers?
27549Do you apply for an adjournment?
27549Do you believe that Sir Bernard''s fears are after all ungrounded?
27549Do you know if Lanky Lane ever had visitors here-- I mean visitors not of his own class?
27549Do you know why he wants to see me?
27549Do you like the Hennikers?
27549Do you really think Sir Bernard such a very dreadful person, then?
27549Do you recollect when Short went to London in a hansom and brought you down at three in the morning?
27549Do you still suspect her?
27549Do you think he really has?
27549Do you think that this knife could have been used?
27549Do you think, then, that the woman has lied?
27549Do?
27549Does it pain you?
27549Does it strengthen your clue?
27549Does n''t know? 27549 Does your mistress often remain in town with her friends at night?"
27549Drinks?
27549Ethelwynn is, of course, still with you?
27549Excuse me, sir,she cried, in a breathless voice,"but are you Doctor Boyd?"
27549For how long?
27549For what reason?
27549Forgive you? 27549 Gossip does not affect me; therefore why should she take any heed of it?"
27549Had he ever spoken to you on the subject?
27549Has he been abroad in connection with his inquiries, do you think?
27549Has n''t she tried to convince him to the contrary?
27549Has no single clue been found, either by the police or by your friend-- Jevons is, I think, his name?
27549Has nothing yet been discovered?
27549Has your opinion changed as to the identity of the person who committed the crime?
27549Hatred, then?
27549Have they any clue? 27549 Have you called the police?"
27549Have you discovered anything?
27549Have you ever seen a similar wound in your experience, Sir Bernard?
27549Have you found marks of violence, then?
27549Have you met your friend Ambler Jevons lately?
27549Have you telegraphed for him? 27549 Have you told Thorpe?"
27549He was an acquaintance of yours?
27549He was not angry?
27549He''s been trying his hand at unravelling the mystery of poor Courtenay''s death, has n''t he?
27549Her fresh lover?
27549How can it, in the face of the letter we burnt?
27549How do you know that?
27549How long did it continue?
27549How long will she be away?
27549How many times have you passed this house on your beat to- night, four- sixty- two?
27549How?
27549How?
27549I believe so?
27549I know Inspector Barton at Leman Street-- your station, I suppose?
27549I wonder what is the affair mentioned by this mysterious correspondent? 27549 I wonder who it could have been?"
27549In how long a time do you anticipate?
27549In what manner, then, is he my enemy?
27549In yours also, surely?
27549Is he dead?
27549Is he down here in pursuance of his inquiries, do you think?
27549Is he working now?
27549Is it locked?
27549Is she at home now?
27549Is she unwell?
27549Is that man Lane dead?
27549Is that the truth, Ambler? 27549 Is that you, Ambler?"
27549Is your father ill?
27549It never reached the young lady''s ears?
27549It was then that he took to drink?
27549Love you?
27549Need I repeat what I have told you so many times, dearest?
27549Need I tell you how fondly I love you-- how that I am entirely yours? 27549 No further medical evidence?"
27549No matter what may happen?
27549No weapon about?
27549Nor yours, I suppose?
27549Of Sir Bernard?
27549Of me?
27549Of what?
27549Of what?
27549Offended? 27549 Oh, was he?"
27549Poison? 27549 Ralph,"he said at last,"what time is the next train to London?"
27549Regarding me?
27549Saw nothing?
27549She may consider that she has made sufficient self- sacrifice?
27549She told you, eh?
27549She went out without a hat, then?
27549Short? 27549 Slade, you say, is his name?"
27549Slade? 27549 Slade?"
27549So you armed yourself with this?
27549Suicide?
27549Surely you do not intend to desert me in these hours of distress?
27549Suspicious? 27549 The facts I''ve told you are of importance, I suppose?"
27549The front door, for example?
27549The police know about it, of course?
27549The truth of what?
27549Then afterwards-- after the burial-- you will tell me what you know?
27549Then at present she does n''t know that he''s been murdered? 27549 Then he''s been stabbed, you think?"
27549Then how do you account for this discovery of yours?
27549Then how were they caused?
27549Then is it believed that she''s been wilfully drowned?
27549Then she''s in the country?
27549Then the investigation is actually dropped?
27549Then the murderer could see you as he stood on the landing?
27549Then the tragedy must have been enacted about half an hour later?
27549Then there''s no suspicion of anyone as yet?
27549Then there''s some secret or other of her past which she conceals, I suppose?
27549Then what is to be done?
27549Then what?
27549Then who has offended you?
27549Then why did the jury return an open verdict?
27549Then you are willing that I, as finder of those letters, shall burn them? 27549 Then you believe that you''ve at last gained the key to the mystery?"
27549Then you have anticipated me, and my appeal to you has been forestalled by your own conscience-- eh?
27549Then you have no confidence in me?
27549Then you have suspicion that the deceased was-- well, a person of bad character?
27549Then you really believe that she is guilty?
27549Then you really think there''s a mystery, sir?
27549Then you suggest that I should call upon the doctor in secret, and try and influence him in her favour without her being aware of it?
27549Then you suspect a motive?
27549Then you think he has actually been murdered?
27549Then you think that jealousy was the cause of the tragedy? 27549 Then you think that poor Mary''s untimely death is closely connected with the tragedy at Kew?"
27549Then, in other words, you imply that you ca n''t trust me?
27549There are no marks of foul play?
27549Until what?
27549Until what?
27549Upon what?
27549Was he in his usual spirits?
27549Was the deceased gentleman aware of his wife''s absence?
27549Was the house still locked up?
27549Well, Ambler?
27549Well, Boyd, anything fresh?
27549Well, Lane?
27549Well, Ralph, old fellow, this turns out to be a curious business, does n''t it?
27549Well, has it not occurred to you that that window might have been purposely left open?
27549Well, what of her?
27549Well,he added,"it was all very interesting, was n''t it?"
27549Well,said Ambler,"it looks like sudden death, does n''t it?
27549Well,she asked,"is that any circumstance likely to lead to a solution of the mystery?
27549Well?
27549Well?
27549Well?
27549Well?
27549Well?
27549Well?
27549What about it? 27549 What are they?
27549What can it matter to you?
27549What can the fellow possibly know? 27549 What can we do, my dear fellow?
27549What causes you to give credence to the story?
27549What did you find at the cutting- up?
27549What do the police think, Ralph?
27549What do you allege, then?
27549What do you know of the servants here?
27549What do you say?
27549What do you think of it all?
27549What does all this mean?
27549What fact?
27549What followed?
27549What for?
27549What has happened? 27549 What has he been complaining of?
27549What has he found?
27549What have you discovered?
27549What have you discovered?
27549What have you found out?
27549What have you found there?
27549What hour was that?
27549What is this you tell me? 27549 What is your opinion?"
27549What is your own opinion of the affair, sir?
27549What is your theory regarding poor Mary''s death?
27549What motive do you suspect?
27549What motive had you in meeting this man here to- night?
27549What shall we do?
27549What surmise?
27549What time was this?
27549What use is there to deny it?
27549What was the character of your conversation with him? 27549 What was the idea?"
27549What would you do? 27549 What''s awful?"
27549What''s the matter?
27549What''s your opinion now?
27549What''s your opinion, Ralph?
27549What''s your opinion?
27549What''s yours?
27549What? 27549 What?
27549What?
27549What?
27549What?
27549When did you last see the deceased alive?
27549When may I return again to you? 27549 When will you come in and spend an hour?"
27549When you heard it what did you do?
27549Where are you in hiding just now?
27549Where did I go?
27549Where have you been?
27549Where is Mary?
27549Where is Sir Bernard?
27549Where is he?
27549Where is it now?
27549Where to?
27549Where?
27549Who is he, sir?
27549Who is this Mary Courtenay, who writes to him from Neneford?
27549Who says so?
27549Who was the young lady who met us downstairs?
27549Who would?
27549Who''s Bennett?
27549Who''s missing?
27549Whom and what do you fear?
27549Why did n''t you tell me you were going there?
27549Why do you say that?
27549Why in mine?
27549Why is he your enemy?
27549Why not?
27549Why not?
27549Why should I be suspicious-- and of what?
27549Why should I regret? 27549 Why should I?"
27549Why should my love for you become suddenly extinguished?
27549Why, what''s the matter? 27549 Why?"
27549Why?
27549Why?
27549Why?
27549Why?
27549Why?
27549Why?
27549Will you come with me?
27549Will you not be mine again, as in the old days before this chain of tragedy fell upon your house?
27549Will you not forgive, dearest?
27549With whom?
27549Worse?
27549Would a murderer wear creaking boots? 27549 You actually saw him?
27549You also believe that your friend Jevons has been compelled, owing to negative results, to relinquish his efforts?
27549You are not of opinion, then, that her mind is growing unbalanced by the strain?
27549You are not well?
27549You believe that poor Mary was actually murdered?
27549You entered the room after he was dead, I presume?
27549You examined the safe, then?
27549You have actually seen them together?
27549You have n''t examined the doors and windows to see if any have been forced?
27549You have no suspicion of foul play?
27549You have only suspicions?
27549You have quarrelled with Sir Bernard, I presume?
27549You heard no noise during the night?
27549You love her still-- don''t you?
27549You mean that the assassin entered and left by that window?
27549You noticed no sign of a struggle?
27549You received my letter at Hereford-- you read what I wrote to you?
27549You refer to her fresh lover-- eh?
27549You think, then, that the motive of the crime was jealousy?
27549You went to the police, of course?
27549You will let me assist you?
27549You will never be suspicious of me as you have been to- night? 27549 You will tell me the reason you lived beneath Courtenay''s roof?"
27549You''ve gained knowledge of some of them, have n''t you?
27549You''ve seen nothing of Sir Bernard?
27549You-- you intend to arrest me?
27549_ Are you quite decided not to assist me? 27549 A deliberate and dastardly attempt had been made upon my life; but with what motive? 27549 And further, that no word shall pass regarding this discovery?
27549And how have you kept your promise?
27549And our love is perfect-- is it not?"
27549And why had my friend''s movements been so exceedingly erratic of late, if he had not been following some clue?
27549And why?
27549And yet would he believe me when I told him that I had actually seen the dead man walking there with his wife?
27549Anything fresh?"
27549But how can I believe in you further, after your unaccountable treatment?
27549But how could I act at that moment, save in obedience to my friend Jevons''instructions?
27549But if he were alive, who was the man who had died at Kew?
27549But is it necessary that I should assert my innocence of such a deed?"
27549But is there anything so very extraordinary in that?
27549But surely the countenance changes considerably if death is sudden?"
27549But the motive of it all-- what could it be?
27549But what can I do?
27549But why was she masquerading so cleverly?
27549But would he laugh now?
27549But-- but why was I not here?"
27549Ca n''t we hush it up?
27549Can you come here?
27549Can you define intuition?"
27549Can you see any clue which may throw light on the affair?"
27549Could a woman with a Madonna- like countenance be actually guilty of murder?
27549Could it be possible that she had met him again, and that he had made away with her?
27549Could it be possible, I wondered, that Mary had learnt of her sister''s secret engagement to her husband?
27549Could it be that the assassin was in search of that key and had been unsuccessful?
27549Courtenay?"
27549Courtenay?"
27549Did I understand you aright?
27549Did he remark upon her absence?"
27549Did she read my thoughts?
27549Did the police never discover any clue to the assassin?"
27549Did you notice the change?"
27549Did you overhear her in the next room?"
27549Do you know him?"
27549Ethelwynn has a lover?"
27549For aught we know the tragedy at Neneford may have been wilful murder; and we have now the suicide of the assassin?"
27549For what reason had old Courtenay contrived to efface his identity so thoroughly?
27549Had you been in my place, my reader, what would you have done?
27549Has he continued his activity?"
27549Has he given up all hope of any satisfactory discovery?"
27549Have I offended you?"
27549Have a drink?"
27549Have n''t you told her?"
27549Have the police obtained any clue to the assassin?"
27549Have they anything to do with the matter we are investigating?"
27549Have you got a drop of brandy handy?"
27549He came up breathlessly, two steps at a time, and gripping my hand, asked:"Who''s been murdered?"
27549He did not exclaim, as was his habit,"Well, my boy, how goes it?
27549He has examined the body, I suppose?"
27549How can I describe her?
27549How can I sufficiently thank you?"
27549How can anything among the old man''s private papers concern you?"
27549How can he expect to triumph where the police fail?"
27549How can we account for them?
27549How did I return here?"
27549How does she bear the tragedy?"
27549How?"
27549I ask you frankly, have you quarrelled?"
27549I suppose you want me to see him-- eh?"
27549I wonder whether he had any reason for that?"
27549I''ve had a trying day at the hospital, and I suppose I''m quarrelsome-- eh?"
27549Is he-- is he_ dead_?"
27549Is it a man or a woman?"
27549Is it fair?
27549Is it the action of an honest, trustworthy woman?"
27549Is not that so?"
27549My practice?
27549Of what?"
27549Once or twice of late he had said in that peevish snappy voice of his:"I wonder what that woman, Mrs. Courtenay''s sister, is doing?
27549Or was he still suspicious of Ethelwynn''s guilt?
27549Pains in the head-- or what?"
27549Poor Henry is dead?"
27549Shall I do so?
27549She has n''t returned?"
27549She placed a trembling hand upon my arm as I passed, asking in a low anxious voice:"Have you found anything, Ralph?
27549She pulled a wry face, in order to emphasise her dissatisfaction at my explanation, and said:"And I suppose you are prepared to receive castigation?
27549She thinks that he was taken ill, and expired suddenly?"
27549Should I leave my friend to make his own investigations independently and unbiassed, or should I frankly tell him of my own startling discovery?
27549Should I put it into his hands and tell him the bitter truth-- the truth that I believed my love to be a murderess?
27549Should I show the tiny fragment to my friend?
27549Should I tell her the truth openly and honestly?
27549Should I tell him frankly of the amazing discovery I had made?
27549Surely you will reconsider the proposal I made to you the night before last in the bar of the Elephant and Castle?
27549Tell me plainly, Ralph, what causes you to suspect foul play?
27549That being so, who could have been the unfortunate man who had been struck to the heart so mysteriously?
27549The fact of her previous engagement was, to her, of only secondary importance, for she replied:"Well, and is that the sole cause of your displeasure?"
27549Then I asked,"Has she ever been known to meet anyone on the river- bank at night?"
27549Then glancing from my face to that of her sister she asked:"Why do you both look so strange?
27549Then turning to me she asked,"Can nothing be done, Ralph?
27549Then, after a pause during which he smoked on vigorously, he suddenly asked,"Well now, be frank, Ralph, whom do you really suspect?"
27549Then, turning to the old fellow who had been the dead man''s friend, he asked:"Do you know anyone by the name of Slade?"
27549There''s surely nothing extraordinary in a man having a safe in his room?"
27549They thought me an old fogey, eh?
27549To what could she possibly be referring?
27549Turning to the solicitor, he asked,"Have you any questions to put to the witness?"
27549Was I entrapped at the instigation of this man?"
27549Was any door or window left unfastened when you went to bed?"
27549Was it any wonder, then, that I was in love with her?
27549Was it possible that he actually suspected her?
27549Was it possible that one so open- faced and pure could be the author of so dastardly and cowardly a crime?
27549Was she keeping up an appearance of innocence, although her heart was blackened by a crime?
27549Was she only seen by the gamekeeper on one occasion?"
27549Was she trying to mislead me, or were her words spoken in real earnest?
27549Was there no further reason?"
27549Well, what can I do for you?
27549What could I reply?
27549What could have transpired?
27549What could she mean?
27549What did she know?
27549What does he say to her constant absence in the evening?"
27549What has been discovered regarding my poor husband''s death?
27549What have I done?"
27549What have you told him?
27549What is his connection with the affair?"
27549What is it?
27549What is it?"
27549What is your opinion?
27549What of him?
27549What''s occurred?
27549When did you see him last?"
27549When is the funeral?"
27549Where are they?"
27549Where is it?
27549Wherever did you come from?
27549Who is he, pray?"
27549Who was the man who had usurped my place?
27549Whom have you killed to- day?"
27549Why have n''t you taken the hint I gave you long ago?"
27549Why should I?"
27549Why should a repulsion of the marriage bond seize her so suddenly, and cause her to tear off the golden fetter under which she had so long chafed?
27549Why should you make yourself miserable for no earthly reason?
27549Why?"
27549Will you not forgive me for refusing to show you these letters?"
27549Would that clue lead him to the truth, I wondered?
27549Yet, was this action of her own, in coming to me in those circumstances, in any way more straightforward?
27549You do n''t mind, do you?"
27549You surely do n''t suspect either of them?"
27549You suspect foul play?"
27549You will forgive-- you will forgive me, wo n''t you?"
27549You will see him in the morning, I suppose?"
27549You wo n''t be offended, will you?"
27549do you happen to know my cousin, Lady Nassington?"
27789A tragic way, Mademoiselle? 27789 According to you, then, it was not a suicide?"
27789Ah, it''s you, Madame,cried Fandor,"well, have you brought a doctor?"
27789All right,said Fandor to himself,"we''ll have some fun; after all, what do I risk?"
27789And I am to take charge of the investigation?
27789And at what point is this work in operation?
27789And do n''t you think that every detective at one time or another has a tendency toward crime, either as a thief or as an assassin?
27789And how are you, my dear boy? 27789 And my Kingdom?
27789And the diamond?
27789And the murder of Susy d''Orsel?
27789And these men found nothing unusual?
27789And this Marie Pascal is the last person who saw Susy d''Orsel alive, excepting, of course, the King? 27789 And where is this third person?"
27789And while you were away hunting the doctor and the police, did you leave the door of the house open?
27789And who rescued you?
27789And why do you want to know that?
27789And why not, Wulf?
27789And why not, if you please?
27789And why not?
27789And you are not sure that he is or is not the murderer?
27789And you are sure he recognized him at the Royal Palace?
27789And you let him go?
27789And,continued the journalist,"as this belonged to the Marquis de Sérac?"
27789Anything to report?
27789Are we going to keep this up much longer?
27789Are you a contractor?
27789At his house?
27789At the Royal Palace?... 27789 Before Juve left he had proved to me that the King was the real King; is n''t that so?"
27789But Frederick- Christian was his friend-- his intimate friend... they were pals... and you say he struck him?
27789But you called for help?
27789But, Madame, we have lobsters...."What''s that got to do with it, they''re fish, ai n''t they?
27789But... what have you done since I left you? 27789 By the way,"pursued M. Annion, oblivious of Juve''s trouble,"you did n''t happen to learn any details concerning the King''s toilette at Glotzbourg?"
27789Can I see you for a couple of minutes? 27789 Can you hear me?"
27789Can you tell me where Wulf is?
27789Do they know in Glotzbourg?
27789Do you know if she has any friends or relations in the country?
27789Do you wish me to come with you, Monsieur, or would you prefer to return alone?
27789Does he take me for the King too? 27789 Fantômas arrested?...
27789Fantômas?
27789For the love of God, who are you?
27789Have a cocktail, Wulf?
27789Have you a telephone?
27789Have you done with your lamentations?
27789Have you heard?
27789Have you just seen a queerly dressed man?
27789Have you thought over a way we can effect the exchange?
27789He''s found nothing, has n''t he? 27789 He''s still a bit soused,"he muttered to himself, then wagging a reproving finger at the King, he continued:"Who am I?
27789How about the bill?
27789How should I know? 27789 How?...
27789I am Monsieur Heberlauf, head of the police at Hesse- Weimar.... Have I the pleasure of speaking to Monsieur Juve?
27789I have a feeling that something happened here,he muttered,"but what?"
27789I''m the concièrge, what is it you want?
27789Idiot, do n''t you understand what''s happening? 27789 If it is n''t Juve who is speaking, who is it?"
27789If our man is n''t on the first train that passes Courcelles, then we must hurry over to the Bois de Boulogne Station, understand?
27789Impossible, why?... 27789 In your letter?"
27789Is Justine in her room now?
27789Is Marie Pascal in?
27789Is it here the tragedy took place?
27789Is it indispensable?
27789Is that all?
27789Is that so? 27789 It was you who arrested him?"
27789Let me see, what is your name, Monsieur?
27789Look here, it''s not about an order; I''m sent here by Juve, you know him?
27789Look here, what does this mean?
27789Louis must go to the Station?
27789Madame Ceiron has n''t by any chance taken it away, has she?
27789Madame Ceiron?
27789Mademoiselle Marie Pascal?
27789May I ask why you think that?
27789Monsieur Heberlauf, do you recognize this man?
27789More supper?
27789Nearly killed you? 27789 No, what of it?"
27789No, why?
27789Now, then, let''s see, what must I do next? 27789 Of course it is rather appalling, but why do you go there, Madame Ceiron?"
27789Oh, Madame Ceiron, when can I thank the Marquis de Sérac for his kindness in introducing me to Frederick- Christian?
27789Oh, what can be done?
27789Pardon, Mademoiselle, but it seems to me you do n''t quite grasp the situation... what is it you are not sure of?
27789Public opinion?
27789Really?
27789Sire, can you hear me?... 27789 Sire, is this the place?"
27789Sire,whispered the gentle voice of Marie Pascal,"may I remind you of a promise?
27789Some man? 27789 Stolen by Fantômas?"
27789Suppose you both come and lunch with me to- morrow, will you?
27789That has to be proved, has n''t it?
27789The 322 is the Cologne express, is n''t it?
27789The detective?
27789The diamond I went to Glotzbourg to get... what''s the matter with you, Sire? 27789 The diamond?"
27789Then Monsieur means to say that a third person was present?
27789Then what is your business?
27789Then why did you steal those jewels? 27789 Then, if Monsieur will leave it with me...""Why?
27789There is no such thing as unnecessary economy, is there, cousin?
27789To hate her? 27789 To her house?"
27789To whom have I the honor...?
27789Twenty- four hours gained anyway, but I wonder where the devil I can get hold of this Wulf? 27789 Unless I am mistaken you are the lace- maker who was so tragically mixed up in the death of Susy d''Orsel?...
27789Very good, Monsieur Annion, and now, suppose you have guessed wrong? 27789 Very good, and then?"
27789Was he alone?
27789Was he alone?
27789Well, Doctor?
27789Well, Mademoiselle, what can I do for you?
27789Well, Monsieur Giraud... take a seat, Mademoiselle... what have you come about?
27789Well, Monsieur Juve, and what do you think of my detective instinct?
27789Well, did you see the King?
27789Well, now that I''m here, what is it you want?
27789Well, what do you want?
27789Well, what do you want?
27789Well, what is new? 27789 Well, what of it?"
27789Well, what then?
27789Well, what then?
27789Well, what''s new? 27789 Well, you know the last news?"
27789Well, you probably know that the King of Hesse- Weimar, Frederick- Christian II, has been staying incognito in Paris?
27789Well, you were successful?
27789What are you doing?
27789What are you doing?
27789What can Juve be doing?
27789What can you expect with the continual strikes... however, that''s not our fault, is it, Wulf?
27789What d''you want?
27789What did he do then?
27789What did you do, Mademoiselle?
27789What do you know about them?
27789What do you mean?
27789What do you want with me? 27789 What do you want, Monsieur?"
27789What do you want?
27789What does she want?
27789What friends has he seen?
27789What have you found out?
27789What is his name?
27789What is it about?
27789What is it all about, Mademoiselle?
27789What is it you wish to inquire about?
27789What is it?
27789What is to be done? 27789 What must I do?"
27789What on earth does all this mean?
27789What on earth for?
27789What the devil do you mean, Juve?
27789What the devil does that mean? 27789 What the dickens is he gassing about?"
27789What was Conchita asking you just now?
27789What was it?
27789What will Juve say to this? 27789 What''s that?"
27789What''s that?
27789What''s that?
27789What''s the matter? 27789 What''s your name?"
27789What?
27789When did you get back?
27789When you went back just now to the scene of the accident, did n''t you learn any of the details?
27789Where am I? 27789 Where are you going?"
27789Where are you going?
27789Where is the King, Fandor?
27789Where the devil are they going to take me?
27789Who is it now?... 27789 Who is speaking?
27789Who is there?
27789Who? 27789 Why do you call me Monsieur le Baron?"
27789Why not?
27789Why, is he the man we are after?
27789Why? 27789 Why?"
27789Will His Majesty the King be present at the Queen''s reception to- day?
27789Will she be away for several days?
27789Will she be long away?
27789Wo n''t you please speak French, so long as we are in France?
27789Yes, I have the key; would you like to go up?
27789Yes, Madame, an arrest has been made..."He must go to the Station?
27789Yes, Monsieur, and that..."Were you in bed when the suicide took place?
27789Yes, Monsieur, but..."Is she at home?
27789Yes, but then they will suspect him.... Oh, M. Juve, what do you think?
27789Yes?
27789You are awake, Monsieur?
27789You are looking for some one?
27789You are not a reporter?
27789You are sure he will come?
27789You are sure of that?
27789You are sure you put it there?
27789You do n''t know why he left so early? 27789 You know the King?"
27789You must be getting uneasy?
27789You see, Mademoiselle, that is conclusive, is n''t it? 27789 You seem to forget it was I who picked up...""Who knows that?"
27789You shall hear them then.... Look here, Wulf, are you married?
27789You wish to lodge a complaint?
27789Your Majesty did n''t receive it?
27789Your Majesty is awake?
27789Your colleague?
27789Your what, Sire?... 27789 ***** Had the day come? 27789 ***** Was he awake or was he dreaming? 27789 *****Well, Monsieur Juve, do n''t you think that looks fine?"
27789*****"What''s this all about?"
27789A delightfully poetic and thoroughly Parisian idea, is n''t it?"
27789A voice from the depth of the cushions inquired:"What bad news?"
27789Again, was the personnel of the hotel really duped by the substitution?
27789Am I not right?"
27789And afterwards, what had happened?
27789And did you get my letter?"
27789And had Lady Beltham intended to save Juve or had she intended to save Fantômas?
27789And what about this"Wulf"?
27789And what did he mean by''the discretion of his men?''
27789And what''s all this about a letter?"
27789And where?
27789Another cup of coffee?"
27789Any friend?"
27789Anything that''he''asks for let him have, you understand?"
27789Are inspectors 42, 59 and 63 there?
27789Are n''t we still a republic, I should like to know?"
27789Are we in the presence of a phenomenon similar to that recalled just now by M. Anastasius Baringouin?
27789Are we, at the beginning of the twentieth century-- the century of Science and Precision-- victims of hallucination or sorcery?
27789As for the diamond, of what possible use could it be to the thief?
27789At this moment a soft and charming voice spoke:"Sire, are you there?
27789At this moment a violent knocking began and a voice from the hall cried out:"What''s the matter?
27789Bending forward, Fandor cried:"Sire, Sire, can you hear me?"
27789But a prisoner of whom?
27789But do n''t you think anyone in Paris knows the King by sight?"
27789But how to do it?"
27789But how was she to set about it?
27789But if I do take him away, how the devil will Juve and I be able to catch the accomplices of Fantômas, if he has any?"
27789But under what conditions was he living?
27789But what is the matter with you?"
27789But what was Lady Beltham doing there known to the Hesse- Weimar people as the Grand Duchess Alexandra?
27789But where was he?
27789But why in this particular room?
27789But, tell me, what''s to be done now?
27789But, where the deuce am I?...
27789CHAPTER IV WHO DO THEY THINK I AM?
27789CHAPTER XIII THE KINGDOM OF HESSE- WEIMAR"Has Monsieur le Baron any trunks to be examined?
27789CHAPTER XVII ON THE RIGHT TRAIL"The Bureau of Public Highways, if you please?"
27789CHAPTER XX FREDERICK- CHRISTIAN"Another drink, Monsieur Louis?"
27789CHAPTER XXI HORRIBLE CERTAINTY"What has happened to that idiot Juve?
27789CHAPTER XXVIII INNOCENT OR GUILTY?
27789CHAPTER XXXII THE ARREST OF FANTÔMAS"Good evening, Monsieur Caldoni, so you are starting soon?"
27789Ca n''t you understand that we must absolutely come to some decision?
27789Can I beg you to persevere in the work to which your special aptitude calls you?"
27789Can it be possible?"
27789Can you hear me?"
27789Ceiron?"
27789Choosing several dishes at random, he returned the menu, and the man, bowing deeply, inquired:"Where shall we serve breakfast?
27789Could he be in prison?
27789Dare I ask for a souvenir?"
27789Did n''t I save the King''s life a second time?"
27789Did they want to trap him into an unwary admission?
27789Do n''t you care enough for him to realize that the very idea of sharing him with another would have been intolerable?...
27789Do n''t you remember?...
27789Do you know if the door to the one used by the servants was locked?"
27789Does that convey nothing to you?...
27789Does that meet with your approval?"
27789Fandor, who was listening with the closest attention, now asked:"What do you deduce from that, Mademoiselle?"
27789For the twentieth time he asked Fandor the same question:"But, Sire, why the deuce are you wearing a false moustache and whiskers to- day?"
27789Frederick- Christian glanced at his companion and then burst out laughing:"What is your name, anyway?"
27789Frederick- Christian held himself in hand as long as possible, then burst out:"What does this attitude mean?...
27789Furthermore, why did n''t she simply walk through the several intervening cars and talk to him?
27789Giraud?"
27789Had he been sufficiently tactful?
27789Had the King taken vengeance upon his mistress in a moment of jealous insanity?
27789Had these events occurred recently, or a long time ago?
27789Have n''t you any clue to follow?"
27789Have you the key of her room?"
27789He asked:"Upon what do you place this supposed imposture?"
27789He made some remark to this effect and the journalist answered:"Why not, Wulf?
27789He put the usual question:"You do n''t happen to have seen a fat little man, drunk and profusely decorated?"
27789He then decided to call out:"Is there anyone here?"
27789He turned to Wulf:"Monsieur Wulf, you recognize this garment, do n''t you?
27789How can I get him out of here?
27789How can anyone be sure that I really found the chemise?"
27789How did Susy d''Orsel come to fall out of the window?
27789How had Fandor managed the affair?
27789How had the arrest of Fantômas been effected?
27789How had the monster died?
27789How was it possible to overtake him?
27789I am perfectly amazed...""Where are you going, Monsieur Wulf?"
27789I have to take a look around from time to time, so wo n''t you come with me?"
27789I mean after the death?"
27789I sent two of my men to the Royal Palace Hotel.... Do you know what they found?"
27789I tell you they''ve capital vermouth here... shall I order your Majesty a bottle?"
27789I was forgetting it is Fantômas who is supposed to be caught, then are they going to give out that Fantômas is dead?...
27789I''m going to see a girl I know you understand?"
27789INNOCENT OR GUILTY?
27789If he were the real King, would you be willing to arrest him without further proof?"
27789In a few moments he heard the door- chain withdrawn, and a woman''s voice cried:"Who is there?"
27789In the boudoir?"
27789Is anyone hurt?
27789Is he tall, broad shouldered, about forty- five, with gray hair and clean shaven?"
27789Is that a new one?"
27789Is that your Majesty?"
27789Is the lover of our lady upstairs a good- looking man?"
27789Is there anything I can do for you?"
27789It was you who found the chemise... it was you who... however, go ahead, Mademoiselle, you were received by a secretary, by a chamberlain?"
27789Juve began:"What does this mean?..."
27789Juve, are you in?"
27789Look here, Juve, what has become of this Frederick- Christian?
27789M. Annion continued:"And what do you think happened yesterday afternoon?
27789M. Annion, what does this mean?
27789M. Lepine had, in fact, asked M. Annion:"You are quite sure Juve will be at the Gare du Nord this evening?"
27789Marie Pascal here?"
27789Might she not have become weary of the yoke which joined her to this monster and be really repentant of her crimes?
27789Must I count all the carriages?"
27789Nothing has happened, has n''t it?
27789Now what is our situation?
27789Now, what do you say to my proposition?"
27789On the other hand, if they knew that Juve was not Fantômas, why the devil had this suicide story been invented?
27789Ought he to have arrested the individual now at the Station?
27789Rather sensational news, is n''t it?"
27789She continued, pointing to the King:"Who is this man?...
27789She lives here, does n''t she?"
27789She opened her eyes slowly and murmured:"Where am I?
27789So they had put him in a vault?
27789Suppose he had hesitated before the possible scandal of a rupture?
27789Susy d''Orsel expect any other visitor?
27789Susy d''Orsel, the King''s mistress, which, by a curious coincidence, occurred in this very house?"
27789Susy d''Orsel?"
27789THE ARREST OF FANTÔMAS 270 A ROYAL PRISONER CHAPTER I A ROYAL JAG"After all, why not celebrate?
27789Tell me, who is Fantômas?"
27789That being the case we had better make the most of our few remaining days, you understand?"
27789The Grand Duchess made a deep curtsey and ended her conversation with these words:"Sire, may I beg your forgiveness for one of your subordinates?"
27789The King spoke of me?"
27789The King was n''t here then, and yet they were heard singing?"
27789The Marquis crossed the room and opened the door; Wulf could hear him talking:"Is that you, Madame Ceiron?"
27789The Marquis gave a slight start:"Ah, and Juve has found nothing, suspects nobody?"
27789The Queen, my wife?
27789The lady turned sharply:"Monsieur, who are you?
27789The officer was about to break into thanks when the door opened and a servant announced:"Will your Majesty receive Monsieur Juve?"
27789The real King?
27789The servants had gone to bed?"
27789The young man was pale and anxious:"Your orders have been carried out, Madame, are you satisfied?"
27789Then brusquely turning, he asked:"You like the King, Mademoiselle?"
27789Then in a whisper he added,"Where is the diamond?"
27789Then it was n''t suicide?"
27789Then turning again to the chauffeur:"Have you plenty of gasoline?"
27789Then turning to the Chamberlain:"We have some very excellent schools here, have we not, Monsieur Kampfen?"
27789Then what answer could you make?"
27789Then with an air of innocence he asked:"What telegram are you speaking of?
27789Then, smilingly, he said:"Well, Sire, feel better?"
27789There is no doubt that it came from Jacob and Company, the Glotzbourg tailors?"
27789This should come from the King.... Has he got my name?...
27789Undoubtedly the public were being duped... but who was duping them, and why?
27789Vicart?"
27789WHO DO THEY THINK I AM?
27789Was Fandor himself a victim?
27789Was he buried alive in some kind of tomb?
27789Was it possible he had taken seriously the innocent flirtation between Susy and himself?
27789Was she innocent or an accomplice?
27789Was she really in Juve''s apartment?
27789We had a negro village here a few years ago... had n''t we, M. von Kampfen?"
27789Well, what do you think of that?
27789Were the Marquis and Fantômas one and the same?
27789Were you aware of that?"
27789What about public opinion on the one hand and the extraordinary audacity of this monarch on the other?"
27789What are you coming at this hour for?"
27789What are you saying, Monsieur?...
27789What are you trying to get at?"
27789What can I do for you, my dear Juve?"
27789What can I do for you?"
27789What could be the motive powerful enough to prevent the mistress rejoining her lover?
27789What did this extraordinary visit mean?
27789What did this mysterious address portend?
27789What did you see?"
27789What do you suggest?"
27789What do you want?"
27789What does this mean?"
27789What does your Majesty mean?"
27789What had happened after that?
27789What had happened?
27789What had happened?
27789What had she been saying to him?
27789What has become of Fandor?
27789What have you done?"
27789What is happening?"
27789What makes you speak in French?"
27789What new and diabolical projects were on foot to bring the monster and his mistress together in this honest, bourgeois court of Hesse- Weimar?
27789What on earth could Wulf want to go there for?
27789What on earth had become of the King?
27789What on earth shall I do with him now?
27789What on earth shall I tell him?"
27789What rôle had Marie Pascal played in the affair?
27789What should you think of his testimony?"
27789What sort of welcome had he received from M. Heberlauf?
27789What time is it?"
27789What was to be done now?
27789What was to be done?
27789What was to be done?
27789What would you have done in my place?
27789What''s the result of your investigation, Juve?"
27789What, however, could have been the motive of such odious savagery?
27789What?
27789Where had he heard that name before?
27789Where have you been?"
27789Where is the victim of the crime?"
27789Where the deuce did he get it?...
27789Where was she?
27789Where?"
27789Which one belonged to the King?
27789Which would be the best to take?
27789Who are you?
27789Who furnished this information?"
27789Who had taken his place?
27789Who is that?...
27789Who is this man?"
27789Who was it?
27789Who?"
27789Why are you here, Monsieur Juve?
27789Why do n''t you search?"
27789Why do you think the King is not the King?"
27789Why have you stopped me?
27789Why have you the key of Susy d''Orsel''s apartment in your possession?"
27789Why not?"
27789Why was I brought here?"
27789Why?
27789Will you kindly explain to me what they are?
27789Without thinking the journalist asked:"Is she pretty?"
27789Would you believe that at seven o''clock this evening there was a shouting, howling mob in front of the Royal Palace?
27789Wulf, what would you say to two plump white arms around your neck?"
27789Yes-- but how?"
27789You are ready for anything?"
27789You can furnish absolute proof of what you say?
27789You do n''t happen to know who the real murderer is, do you?"
27789You enjoy my friendship?"
27789You found nothing, I suppose?"
27789You have n''t spoken of this to the concièrge?"
27789You know already?"
27789You occupy the next apartment?
27789You probably have seen them yourself?"
27789You will have plenty of time afterward to dress for the reception.... Have you a Court costume?"
27789You''ve been shadowing him?"
27789d''Orsel had no relations?"
27789d''Orsel?"
27789d''Orsel?"
27789exclaimed the King,"what influence have I been under during these last four days?"
27789good God, what has happened?"
27789in a cellar?
27789protested Marie feebly,"the King would have made his choice... frankly and loyally....""And suppose he had n''t chosen?
27789the King?...
27789this familiarity?
27789understand?"
27789what are you doing?"
27789what does the whole thing mean?
27789why the deuce do n''t you read the papers?
26396''Simplifies things?'' 26396 A footstep?"
26396Again?
26396Ah?
26396All alone-- may I ask?
26396All right-- what?
26396All right; what next?
26396And Berne?
26396And did you leave her?
26396And do what I asked-- stop attacking us?
26396And followed her?
26396And it''s best to leave things as they are until the coroner arrives.--He''ll be here soon?
26396And it''s her handwriting, the daughter''s?
26396And now?
26396And remember that what I say is ideas only, not knowledge?
26396And say nothing about my speaking of it-- absolutely nothing to anybody? 26396 And the advisability, the necessity, of utter frankness between us?"
26396And the time? 26396 And the word''Pursuit,''with an exclamation point after it?
26396And watched her movements?
26396And yet, it''s your business to inspect and deliver the household''s mail?
26396And you think she will?
26396And you would let him have sixty- five thousand dollars-- if he had to have it?
26396And you''ve taken matters into your own hands.--Did your father send you here-- to me?
26396And you?
26396And, even when you arrest the right man, say nothing of what you owe me for my suggestions? 26396 And,"she continued, with intense malignity,"what was so monstrous in my asking him for money?
26396Any friends here-- have you any friends here?
26396Any news?
26396Any reason for doing that, do you remember? 26396 Anybody in the house hear him come in, or go out?"
26396Anybody move her hat before I came out?
26396Anything else, sir-- special?
26396Are n''t you mistaken about that?
26396Are you quite sure you do n''t want me to give it up? 26396 Are you working on that"--he hesitated hardly perceptibly--"idea?"
26396As one of the reporters pointed out, why is n''t it his game to try to make a fool of you?
26396At once?
26396But he did n''t hire you?
26396But he made no attempt to get in touch with her yesterday? 26396 But my distress, my own hurt pride----""What did your father say about Mildred Brace?"
26396But the alibi?
26396But what happened?
26396But what will it accomplish? 26396 But why should I want to conceal anything that might bring the man to justice?"
26396But you do know her?
26396But you,she asked;"are you sure-- have you the proof?"
26396But, since you''ve been to Pursuit, what do you imply, or say?
26396But,Hastings persisted,"why all this concern for Webster, after his engagement had been broken?"
26396By the way, have you seen Russell again?
26396Ca n''t you see the boy''s suffering? 26396 Can you tell me why you did n''t have the same thoughts about Berne?"
26396Concerning me?
26396Could it be possible,he put the inquiry at last,"that he knew her before the murder?"
26396Could n''t Judge Wilton manage him? 26396 Crown''s seen him, seen Russell?"
26396Did Miss Brace tell you she was coming to Sloanehurst?
26396Did he buy her off?
26396Did n''t he? 26396 Did you ask the judge about it?"
26396Did you ever tell Mr. Webster of the extent of your generous feeling toward him, Mr. Sloane-- in dollars and cents?
26396Did you find any weapon?
26396Did you know Mildred Brace intended to clear out, leave Washington, today?
26396Did you see the address on it?
26396Did you tell Judge Wilton you knew her?
26396Did you think that, judge?
26396Do I make myself clear?--Do you want me to go into further detail?
26396Do I see what?
26396Do n''t you see I must have facts to go on-- if I''m to help you?
26396Do n''t you see what I mean?
26396Do you believe it now?
26396Do you care to ask anything more?
26396Do you know about the arrangements for the removal of the body?
26396Do you know that much about her?
26396Do you suspect him? 26396 Do you, Sloane?"
26396Does-- didn''t anybody here know this woman?
26396Eh?
26396Either of you cry out?
26396Excellent,assured Hastings, and put in a suggestion:"You''ve heard of the fleeting footsteps Miss Sloane reported?"
26396Find any steel on the floor?
26396Find anything?
26396First, what was it?
26396For one question,qualified Hastings;"less than a minute''s talk-- one word,''yes''or''no''?
26396For what?
26396Granting your absurd theory,she continued,"why should I have feared him?
26396Had she written to Mr. Webster recently?
26396Has Webster told you this?
26396Hastings, you saw the reporters this afternoon-- I''ve been wondering-- they asked me-- did they ask you whether you suspected the valet-- Jarvis?
26396Have you a hand- mirror?
26396Have you any idea, Mrs. Brace, as to who killed your daughter-- or could have wanted to kill her?
26396Have you ever seen that dagger before?
26396Have you kept back anything else?
26396Have you seen him?
26396He did n''t have an aeroplane in his hip pocket, did he? 26396 Here, Mr. Sloane,"he ordered,"hold that torch closer, will you?"
26396How about Arthur? 26396 How can we get her?"
26396How did you go out-- by what door?
26396How did you know that?
26396How do you know that?
26396How do you know that?
26396How long ago?
26396How long had you been out then, altogether?
26396How long have you been here?
26396How much, Miss Sloane, do you think my silence is worth?
26396How much?
26396How''s that?
26396How?
26396How?
26396How?
26396I may ask you a few questions then?
26396I remember the judge said,''Is she dead?'' 26396 I said, on the''phone, it was something of advantage to you-- didn''t I?"
26396I wondered if you would n''t stop your interviews-- your accusations?
26396I''d hardly describe''em to his personal representative, would I? 26396 I''ll tell you, Crown,"he said, finally;"I''ll work on any line that can lead to the guilty man.--What do you know?"
26396I?
26396If I did n''t, do you think I''d have tried for a moment to conceal what he said to me?
26396If I''d do what?
26396If you thought I''d-- what?
26396In an ugly mood, are they? 26396 In the grey envelope?"
26396Interested in that?
26396Is it your daughter''s writing?
26396Is n''t it Russell? 26396 Is n''t it enough that I know it-- or advance it as a theory?"
26396Is n''t that so, judge?
26396Is she sane?
26396Is that what they''re saying?
26396Is there anything that you have n''t told-- anything you''ve decided to suppress?
26396Is this the flap of that envelope; or, better still, are these fragments of words and the word''Pursuit''in your daughter''s handwriting?
26396It is-- and here''s another thing: when''s Mrs. Brace going to break loose?
26396It''s plain enough, is n''t it? 26396 It''s the thing to do, is n''t it?"
26396Let me see you a moment, will you?
26396Making a fool of me, is he?
26396May I come in?
26396Might that be the flap of that grey envelope?
26396Money?
26396My daughter? 26396 No.--Then, there might have been a struggle?
26396Notice anything peculiar about Mr. Russell last night?
26396Now that we understand each other, Mrs. Brace, what do you say?
26396Now, I ask you, as a lawyer and a sensible man, who''s going to believe that she came out here without having notified you of her coming? 26396 Now, Mr. Hastings, what can I do for-- tell you?"
26396Now, what was that apparently incriminating incident?
26396Now,Hastings began, in genial tone;"did you get anything from him?"
26396Now,he asked her,"what can you tell us about that letter?"
26396Now,she said, having reconstructed the crime and described the subsequent behaviour of the tragedy''s principal actors;"now who''s guilty?"
26396Of what?
26396Oh, do n''t you see? 26396 On whom?"
26396One thing more, Mrs. Brace: did you know your daughter intended to go to Sloanehurst last night?
26396Pieced what together?
26396Prove it, how?
26396Say anything?
26396Several years ago,Hastings goaded, so that Webster pivoted on his heel to face him;"you lost yours when?--last night?--this morning?"
26396She resign?
26396Simultaneously?
26396Sloane''s no dying man, is he? 26396 So money, lack of it, is bothering her as well as Webster!--How much is she in debt?"
26396So she was killed between eleven and midnight?
26396So you think she lied about that letter?
26396Stevens got a good look at him?
26396Still, you can work independently-- retained by Mr. Arthur Sloane-- can''t you?
26396Suppose she refuses?
26396Tell all I know?
26396Tell me, judge; do you think Berne Webster''s guilty?
26396Tell me,she implored;"tell me, Mr. Hastings, do you suspect my father-- or not-- of the----?"
26396That all?
26396That was all, Miss Sloane?
26396That would be Russell''s game, would n''t it?
26396That''s all right, far as it goes,Hastings said;"but does he identify that man as Russell?"
26396That''s great work, for Sunday.--Now, Russell''s room?
26396The matter of personal feeling?
26396The reading public, for instance?
26396Then what?
26396Then, he''d returned to his room, after the murder, and gone out again?
26396Then, we can come to an agreement? 26396 Then, you agree with me?
26396They''re saying that, are they?
26396This Mr. Otis, Mr. Russell; where is he?
26396Threats?
26396Time''s right, location''s right, identification''s right!--Pretty sweet, ai n''t it, old fellow? 26396 To do what, exactly?"
26396Unconsciously?
26396Waiting, are you? 26396 Was he agitated, disturbed?"
26396Was it in a grey envelope?
26396Was that it?
26396Well, did he kill the woman, expecting to find it in her stocking?
26396Well, what of it?
26396Well, what?
26396Well?
26396Well?
26396Well?
26396Were you smoking?
26396Were you uneasy when she failed to come in-- last night?
26396What are you going to do-- now that you know?
26396What are you laughing at?
26396What became of it, then-- the grey envelope?
26396What business?
26396What consequences?
26396What difference does it make-- the writing?
26396What do you know?
26396What do you mean by that?
26396What do you mean by that?
26396What do you mean by''again''?
26396What do you mean?
26396What do you mean?
26396What do you mean?
26396What do you stick to that for?
26396What do you suspect?
26396What do you want to know?
26396What do you want to talk about, Miss Sloane?
26396What do you want?
26396What else?
26396What fair play?
26396What for?
26396What good''s that to me?
26396What have you got to say?
26396What is it?
26396What makes you say that? 26396 What more do you want, to prove his guilt, his abominable guilt?"
26396What movement? 26396 What theory?"
26396What time did you go out?
26396What was he out here for last night if he was n''t jealous of the girl? 26396 What were they doing?"
26396What would-- that is,he forced himself to the appeal,"I was wondering-- anything occur to you?
26396What''s got into you, anyway? 26396 What''s he doing?"
26396What''s that?
26396What''s that?
26396What''s the matter with me?
26396What''s the matter, Tom?
26396What''s the matter?
26396What''s the use?
26396What''s this?
26396What''s up?
26396What''s wrong?
26396What''s your object, Hastings?
26396When I think of Russell''s alibi----"Have we mentioned Russell?
26396When can I see him, then?
26396When did it stop-- out here?
26396When will you do that?
26396When?
26396When?
26396Where do you think you are, Arthur, on the witness stand? 26396 Where was it?"
26396Which way did the footsteps go?
26396Who did, judge?
26396Who found her?
26396Who is she?
26396Who reached the body first? 26396 Who told you about-- the whispering?"
26396Who was this passenger?
26396Who would n''t?
26396Who''s guilty? 26396 Who, then?"
26396Who? 26396 Who?"
26396Why did n''t you mail it yourself?
26396Why did she do that?
26396Why did you conceal it?
26396Why did you think she was in love with Mr. Webster, Mr. Russell? 26396 Why do n''t you look at it another way?"
26396Why do n''t you?
26396Why do you say that?
26396Why do you want me here then?
26396Why should I have wanted to do any such thing?
26396Why should n''t he have provided me with money when I asked it?
26396Why would n''t he have had the same motive, hatred of Mildred Brace, a thousand times stronger?
26396Why? 26396 Why?
26396Why? 26396 Why?
26396Why?
26396Why?
26396Why?
26396Why?
26396Why?
26396Will you help me?
26396Wo n''t you go to father at once?
26396Wo n''t you see that those rooms are left exactly as they are until I can have a look at them?
26396Wonderful what a magnet will pick up, ai n''t it?
26396Yes, I know,he said with a smile that was reassuring;"I do n''t look like a particularly helpful old party, do I?"
26396Yes, Miss Sloane?
26396Yes,he replied gently;"if I do n''t distress you----""What is it?"
26396Yes; but what could I do?
26396Yes; that''s true.--Yes, I''ll tell you about that, you and Arthur-- if you''d care to hear?
26396Yes?
26396Yes?
26396Yes?
26396Yes?
26396You accept the alibi, then?
26396You are?
26396You know Mrs. Brace, then? 26396 You know about that, do you?"
26396You know he''s guilty, do n''t you?
26396You mean I''m amusing myself, exerting myself needlessly, as a matter of spite? 26396 You mean,"she added quickly, eyes narrowed,"I suspect-- actually suspect some one in this house?"
26396You mean-- it is n''t enough?
26396You mean----?
26396You say it''s blown up?
26396You see my point, clearly? 26396 You see the blood on it?"
26396You think so?
26396You want my help; is n''t that it?
26396You wanted to see me-- about my daughter?
26396You wanted to see me-- is there anything special?
26396You were afraid, then, that something incriminating might be divulged, were n''t you?
26396You were then at the gate near where she was found, dead?
26396You wo n''t fail me-- tomorrow?
26396You wo n''t have to tell anybody-- anybody at all-- about this, will you-- now?
26396You would n''t want to make a mistake-- would you?
26396You''ll send them away-- whoever it is-- at once?
26396You''ll take my ideas, my theory, work on it and never bring me into it-- in any way? 26396 You''re making me take that action-- ain''t you?
26396You''re working for Webster?
26396You''ve decided that, have you?
26396A glass of water?--just for the tinkling of ice?
26396And I go back to that now: wo n''t you tell me anything more about the discovery of the woman''s body by the two of you-- you and Webster?"
26396And did Crown know that?
26396And had not the mistake driven him into false and valueless interpretations of his entire interview with Webster?
26396And the person I got it from wo n''t spread it around.--That satisfactory?"
26396And the weapon, what about that?
26396And why too late?
26396And yet, that''s what she''s doing-- isn''t she?"
26396And, when he came up with her on the Sloanehurst lawn, did n''t he kill her?
26396Another thing puzzled him: why did Mrs. Brace suspect Arthur Sloane of withholding the true story of what he had seen the night of the murder?
26396Anything?
26396Are there any obstructions there, anything but smooth, open lawn?"
26396Are you going to deny me fair play?"
26396Are you merely being polite?"
26396Are you trying to prostrate me further with impossible theories?
26396Are you working on that line-- at all?"
26396Besides, there are facts to prove that the letter did not go to Webster.--Do you see how your fancied security falls away?"
26396Brace?"
26396Brace?"
26396Brace?"
26396Brace?"
26396Brace?"
26396But Mrs. Brace-- was she clever enough to make that deduction from the known facts?
26396But he looked so-- so uncertain!--Oh, Mr. Hastings, who did kill that woman?"
26396But what are the facts?
26396But what was he doing?
26396But what?"
26396But why bring that story here-- now?
26396But why?"
26396But you knew-- didn''t you?"
26396But, if that was in his mind, he put it down, elaborating the smile to a laughing protest:"That''s going far afield, is n''t it?"
26396Ca n''t I-- what do they call it?--retain you?"
26396Ca n''t you go in now?"
26396Ca n''t you help me there?
26396Ca n''t you let a guilty man hang when he comes forward and puts the rope around his own worthless neck?"
26396Can you disabuse her mind?"
26396Can you say?"
26396Can you tell me why?"
26396Congratulate me, do n''t you?
26396Congratulate me, even if it does step on all those mysterious theories of yours-- that right?"
26396Could n''t he be left in peace?
26396Crown?"
26396Crown?"
26396Did n''t he stay right at Webster''s side when old Hastings interviewed Webster yesterday?
26396Did n''t you feel it?
26396Did one, or two, contain piece or pieces of a bed- slat?
26396Did you believe his fear was n''t for himself when he gagged you that way?"
26396Did you receive, or see, a letter in an oblong, grey envelope in yesterday afternoon''s mail?"
26396Do me a favour, will you?
26396Do n''t you remember?
26396Do n''t you see the danger?"
26396Do n''t you see?
26396Do n''t you, now?"
26396Do you give''em to me?
26396Do you grasp that reasoning?"
26396Do you mean to tell me that?"
26396Do you see that?"
26396Do you think I''d tell it unless I knew there could be not even an excuse for suspecting me?
26396Do you think he will?"
26396Do you, still?"
26396Don''t----""What did Webster whisper to you, across that corpse?"
26396Going to the window, he addressed the summer sky:"Who the devil does the old fool suspect-- Arthur or Berne?"
26396Good idea, ai n''t it?"
26396Got her heart.--Young-- not over twenty- five, would you say?--Not dead long.--Anybody call a doctor?"
26396Guilty?
26396Guilty?
26396Had he magnified Webster''s desire to keep that promise into guilty knowledge of the crime itself?
26396Had she been theorizing, after all?
26396Has she seen Jarvis?"
26396Hastings questioned him again:"Your waking up at that unusual hour last night-- was it because of a noise outside?"
26396Hastings, subjecting the pallid Jarvis to severe scrutiny, asked him:"Was that grey letter addressed to-- whom?"
26396Hastings?"
26396Hastings?"
26396Hastings?"
26396Have I----?"
26396Have you no self- respect, no will, no firmness?
26396He and four other fellows were in a car that went up Hub Hill that night a little after eleven-- a few minutes after.--Hear that?"
26396He gets off safely if the Brace woman ever sees fit to tell-- what?
26396He lowered his voice and asked again:"Mrs. Brace, what do you know?"
26396He put the obvious question:"Judge, am I the first one to hear this-- from you?"
26396He spoke impulsively:"Did you want-- didn''t you feel some impulse, some desire, to go out there when you heard of this murder?"
26396He tried again:"Nothing more, Miss Sloane?
26396He was deliberating: was there nothing more she could tell him?
26396He whittled again, asking her:"You a native of Washington?"
26396Her father?
26396Here, this chair by the window-- so-- and this wreck of a fan, can you use it?
26396How can she know it now?
26396How could she have known that?
26396How did he get from Hub Hill to where Otis picked him up?"
26396How did you happen to be there?"
26396How does he know it?
26396How many times have I told you that?
26396How much of a fool was the woman making of the sheriff, anyway?
26396How, then, did Eugene Russell keep black, Hub Hill mud on his shoes that night if he went the four miles on foot to where Otis picked him up?"
26396I did n''t volunteer it to you, did I?"
26396I said,''How is she hurt?''
26396I take it, you would n''t want it known by the sheriff, even now?"
26396If Mrs. Brace troubles you again, will you let me know about it, at the earliest possible moment?"
26396If she did not suspect Webster, whom did she suspect?
26396In his turn, he was non- committal, retorting:"Do n''t you?"
26396Instead, he inquired:"And that simplifies things?"
26396Is it a bargain, Miss Sloane?"
26396Is it worth while for me to go into Washington?
26396Is n''t that clear?"
26396Is n''t that it, Miss Sloane?"
26396Is n''t that true?"
26396Is n''t that true?"
26396Is n''t that true?"
26396Is n''t the judge here?"
26396Is that what you mean?"
26396It''s gone glimmering!--What do you think of that?"
26396Judge Wilton tell you about that?"
26396Know her well?"
26396Let''s play fair, did n''t he?"
26396Lucille remembered the detective''s misgivings about Jarvis; how else had this woman found that out?
26396May I count on you for that?"
26396May I-- ah- h- h-- do you mind if I look about, for possible hearers?"
26396Me?"
26396Mr. Hastings?
26396Mr. Sheriff-- am I interrupting a private conference?"
26396Mrs. Brace, without speaking, without acknowledging his quiet"Mrs. Brace, I believe?"
26396Now, cool your flushed face in this thin, very thin stream of a breeze-- feel it?
26396Now, did you believe Webster?
26396Of what value are the wild ideas of a nervous man, all to pieces anyway, when he stumbles on a dead woman in the middle of the night?"
26396One of them asked him:"Can you tell us why you followed her out here?"
26396Or did she have more direct information from Sloanehurst than he had thought possible?
26396Or had she relayed to him words that Wilton had put into her mouth?
26396Remember?"
26396Russell?"
26396See any significance in that?"
26396See any way out of it?"
26396See anything else?"
26396See that?"
26396Seeing the judge''s hesitance, he supplemented:"I mean, did you notice anything last night, in his conduct, that would indicate guilt-- or fear?"
26396Serious saints!--Jarvis, the eau de cologne!--You think I do n''t know it?
26396She asked:"And you want-- what?"
26396She showed her first curiosity:"Where did you get that piece of envelope?"
26396She turned to Wilton:"I ask you again, will you help me as I asked you?
26396She whispered, sharp and quick,''Who''s that?''
26396Sheriff?"
26396So far, Tom, you''re mixed up in----""Why ca n''t you wait until he''s through?"
26396So you saw her?"
26396Take it to her myself?"
26396Talk?
26396Tell me: do you think anybody here at Sloanehurst is responsible for this murder?"
26396That right?"
26396That so?"
26396That suggest anything to you?"
26396That was what you intended to give me in confidence, was n''t it?"
26396That you, Hastings?
26396That''s a fair assumption, ai n''t it?"
26396That''s better, is n''t it?"
26396That''s clear enough, is n''t it?
26396That''s it?"
26396That''s what they hired him for-- isn''t it?"
26396The absolute secrecy required, the fact that you buy her silence, pay her to cease her accusations against Berne-- don''t you see?
26396The guest- rooms upstairs-- have the servants straightened them up this morning?"
26396They do n''t call you''Hard Tom Wilton''for nothing, do they?
26396They would n''t pay out real money to have themselves hunted, if they were guilty, would they?"
26396They''d have thrown off that Hub Hill mud pretty quick, would n''t they?"
26396This morning I thought you heard me when I asked him not to let it be known that our engagement was broken?
26396To her, Mrs. Brace was a figure of sinister power, an agent of ugliness, waiting to do evil-- waiting for what?
26396Was Mrs. Brace in communication with Jarvis?
26396Was it possible that Crown wanted to find out whether Hastings was having Jarvis shadowed?
26396Was n''t I ill?
26396Was n''t he following her?
26396Was n''t that it?"
26396Was n''t that it?"
26396Was there no such postoffice as Pursuit?
26396Was this his method of hiding facts in his possession?
26396Webster marry my daughter for money, for sixty- five thousand dollars?
26396Webster urged him, with eyes and voice:"Well?"
26396Webster?"
26396Webster?"
26396Webster?"
26396Webster?"
26396Webster?"
26396Were they?"
26396What are you trying to do-- make people suspect me of the murder- make''em suspect Berne?"
26396What caused the fear which, at the beginning of their interview, had been so apparent?
26396What could he hope to get from her except that which she wanted to tell?
26396What did you think you''d do after you''d overtaken her?"
26396What do they mean, his game?"
26396What do you know-- specially?"
26396What do you say?"
26396What do you say?--Who?"
26396What do you want me to say to him?"
26396What had he done-- except strike to save his own life?"
26396What had your father said about Mildred Brace-- to arouse any such suspicion?"
26396What if Mrs. Brace did take the marked money?
26396What if Webster''s, too, were missing?
26396What is it?"
26396What the devil do you mean by letting that sheriff come in here and subject me to all this annoyance and shock?
26396What the thunder are they talking about?
26396What was she after, money?
26396What were they?"
26396What would that show?
26396What''s its significance?"
26396What''s the use of a clue when you_ know_ a guy''s guilty?
26396What''s written on it?"
26396What''s your theory?"
26396What?"
26396When Wilton still hesitated, he repeated:"What did Webster say when he put his hand over your mouth-- to prevent your outcry?"
26396When did you pick him up?"
26396Where do you get that?
26396Where is he to get all that?
26396Who is she?"
26396Who put that into your head?"
26396Who''s he shielding?
26396Why did he think Sloane had killed Mildred Brace?"
26396Why did n''t I think?
26396Why do n''t they trust me?"
26396Why do n''t you look into that alibi?"
26396Why had he gone out of his way to put a cigar stump into his pocket that night, and to explain that he had had it in his mouth all the time?
26396Why have n''t you said so long ago, Tom?"
26396Why is he afraid of that?
26396Why is n''t it his game to persuade you of my secret knowledge of Gene''s guilt?
26396Why would n''t I do as you ask-- exactly as you ask?"
26396Why''d he refuse to testify before the coroner, then?"
26396Why''s that?"
26396Why, then, is n''t it his game to convince you of Gene''s guilt?
26396Why, then, this anxiety which had driven her to him for help?
26396Why?
26396Why?
26396Will you keep quiet?''
26396Will you?
26396Wo n''t you believe me?"
26396Wo n''t you come in here?"
26396Wo n''t you let me take you to him, now?"
26396Would n''t he get well much faster if he knew it-- knew the suspense was all over-- that neither he nor father''s suspected any more?"
26396Would people say that Webster had given himself away in advance?
26396Would you?"
26396XVII"THE WHOLE TRUTH""Mrs. Brace, good evening.--May I come in?"
26396You came to see me?"
26396You can see her saying that, ca n''t you?
26396You mean the sound of a fall?"
26396You mean you employed her eight months although she was incompetent?"
26396You might have thought that?"
26396You realize what my job is-- do you?"
26396You recognize the force of that, do n''t you?"
26396You saw her-- understand what I mean?"
26396You see?"
26396You see?"
26396You think Webster''s guilty?"
26396You think the woman had put up a fight-- for her life?--and was overpowered?"
26396You told us all you knew-- in the library?"
26396You want me to take any questions to him for you?"
26396You will give me anything, and all the things, that may come to your knowledge as the investigation proceeds?
26396You wo n''t pay any attention to Arthur''s unreasonable attitude, will you?"
26396You''re sure?"
26396Your charge is just what?"
32117''But who did go into that room?'' 32117 ''Has the letter been taken?''
32117''What do you mean?'' 32117 ''You say the letter is gone?''
32117About what, then?
32117About what?
32117All right again so soon?
32117All right again?
32117And Mrs. Couldock and Miss Dawes?
32117And Mrs. Walworth? 32117 And when did he make up his mind to take this sudden move?"
32117And who is the fortunate lady?
32117And you intend to go with him?
32117And you love Heath?
32117Are there letters there?
32117Are you sure?
32117Did Mr. Taylor say I was there?
32117Did you see anybody on the way?
32117Did you talk with Ravelli?
32117Did you? 32117 Do n''t I?"
32117Do n''t you know?
32117Do n''t you remember? 32117 Do you get an unobstructed view?"
32117Do you know this gentleman, Mr. Arthur Hartley?
32117Do you know?
32117Do- a I eentrude?
32117Everything all right?
32117For what- a did you come here, into one camp oof men eef----"If I did n''t expect to be unsafe? 32117 Have you ever heard again from that boy?"
32117Have you never had a conviction yourself as to which of the three ladies you saw go into the parlor took the letter I left hid in the Bible?
32117Have you the letter?
32117He is- a what to you, zat you take- a hees part?
32117Hours?
32117How many hours will it take you?
32117I am Hepworth Coleman of New York?
32117I suppose no, eh? 32117 I suppose you are not going down again?"
32117If this strange news has affected Judge Brisbane and his daughter so seriously, why may it not be affecting millions of other people similarly? 32117 Is n''t it the rejected suitor who kills the other one for spite?"
32117Is that all?
32117Is the ladder set against the window?
32117Is there any one you intend to marry?
32117Is there anybody here who saw Tonio Ravelli last night?
32117Is you Meestu Coleman, sah?
32117Kate,I said, as I took her by her hands and pulled her to the sofa beside me,"you are running away from something; it is not from me, is it?"
32117Like one gentleman? 32117 May I look at it?"
32117Mr. Heath, could a man walk to Dimmersville before the telegraph station there opens in the morning?
32117Mr. Ravelli,she began after a moment,"you understand English?"
32117Murderer? 32117 Must you wait for an answer?"
32117Not for the purpose of rearranging a veil that had been blown off?
32117Not likely to? 32117 Not- a often?
32117Oh, is it true-- is it true? 32117 Once more the question was asked,''Will you give in, Major, and tell us where the money is, or shall we drop you into the back door of hell?''
32117Pare- haps he is one- a lover oof you?
32117Phipson''s in it too?
32117Pretty-- bad-- yesterday?
32117Should I apologize?
32117The station where Eph had awakened the girl operator? 32117 The third person?"
32117Then your name is Helen Rankine?
32117What are these letters engraved within?
32117What did happen between you and Ravelli?
32117What did he do?
32117What do you mean by that word?
32117What have I been dreaming?
32117What in mercy''s name do you mean?
32117What is her name?
32117What is it?
32117What is it?
32117What is it?
32117What is it?
32117What is that?
32117What is the matter here?
32117What is your wish?
32117What man?
32117What''s the matter?
32117What''s the news?
32117What, then, other than a storm at sea could have caused a detention of all these vessels?
32117What-- what does it all mean?
32117What?
32117When do you propose to go?
32117Where and when?
32117Where did you get it, Helen?
32117Where is it?
32117Where?
32117Which way have you come?
32117Who can have done it?
32117Who is John Bruce?
32117Who is that strange- looking man in front?
32117Who, Abner? 32117 Why not?"
32117Why so? 32117 Why, what''s the matter, Arthur?
32117Why? 32117 Will all those other persons be here?"
32117Yes?
32117You are ready?
32117You believe,said he,"that she, the woman I am about to marry, is the one who wrote you that infamous letter?"
32117You detested Ravelli?
32117You do not mean to tell me,I said,"that you believe anything has happened that can concern us?"
32117You do not mean yourself?
32117You have come-- at last?
32117You know her?
32117You remember that little business you did for me in Main Street last month? 32117 You surely do not mean it?"
32117You think she got some one to write it for her?
32117You will tell me just what you mean?
32117You would not like to start to- night, surely?
32117You''re the telegraph girl, ai n''t you?
32117A half step backward, another leap-- who could resist the challenge of that lone and kingly column that remained?
32117Ai n''t you ashamed to scare her this way?
32117All of them gazed at him in an unusual way, or had late events led him to think that they did so?
32117Am I then such a villain that I rejoice at the thought that Helen Rankine has no memory of her lover?
32117And now tell me-- have you never had a thought, a conviction like this?
32117Another question asks itself, Has she come for good or ill?
32117Another shake upon it, old man?"
32117Are you armed?"
32117Are you ill?"
32117Are you ready?"
32117Are you taking her off to melt her or marry her?
32117Are you the gentleman to whom Mr. Cartwright, the banker, wrote in my behalf?"
32117B.,''what do they stand for?"
32117Ca n''t you remember?"
32117Can you imagine what I felt when I saw her?
32117Did he possess the animal scent of a bloodhound?
32117Did she survey me so closely because she was anxious to know if I had compromised her in the eyes of her intended husband?
32117Does it seem more difficult to get a message directly from Arthur Hartley than to get that journal from the bottom of the ocean?
32117Enraged?
32117Fate?
32117For what strange eyes am I writing these words?
32117Had n''t we better elope at once?"
32117Had she heard no unusual noises in the night?
32117Had the villains taken her with them?
32117He was absolutely free, had all the means necessary-- why should he not go where he pleased?
32117Her religion?
32117His first words were, as he wiped the perspiration out of his eyes,"Well, this is awful, eh?"
32117How I liked her trust and her faith in me?
32117How could I?
32117How could I?
32117How''s your gout?"
32117How?"
32117I am- a as com- mon as my gang in- a clothes-- in- a manner, too, eh?
32117I asked lightly;"the cabinet act?"
32117I heard-- or did I feel-- his great hinder feet fastening in the steep earth under him for his final struggle to the top?
32117I hesitated-- who would not?
32117I wonder if I''m the same man that set sail in the_ Albatross_ six short weeks ago?
32117If there is at this moment a panic in the West, how long will it take the reflex wave to reach New York?"
32117In answer to my inquiry of''Who''s there?''
32117Is Uncle John right, and have I been a weak, blind fool of a boy, thinking that the girl, who was merely kind, was encouraging me to love her?
32117Is it possible that you know this young lady?"
32117Is memory coming back?
32117It must have been five minutes before either of us spoke, then he suddenly cried:"Where is that detective, as you call him?
32117Its tones were something like those in which the woman the night before had said:"What do you wish?"
32117May I ask you all to consider the meeting adjourned?
32117Miss Dawes?
32117Mrs. Couldock?
32117Must I then forever blame myself, or did I only do in this matter what any honest man would have done in my place?
32117Need I tell you that at such moments man is little better than an animal, save in his free agency that enables him to defy?
32117Now Mrs. Walworth does that, and----""You have seen her?
32117Now, what are you going to do to me?"
32117Or has she learned that she is a woman and I a man?
32117Or was her expression merely that natural to innocence equally startled and perplexed?
32117Or was her name Mary?
32117Or was this something more than Judith?
32117R.''""Is n''t that proof enough?"
32117SHALL HE MARRY HER?
32117SHALL HE MARRY HER?
32117She told him, and then asked:"Who is he, and what ails him?"
32117Still, we had been pent up in the boat much; and then would not she be with me?
32117The question continually repeats itself to me, What has brought this woman here?
32117Then he turned to Gerald, and questioned with the air of a cross- examiner:"Did the two men have any words together?"
32117There was that easterly wind blowing again; was I, too, growing superstitious?
32117True, I had five shots left; but what were they in the face of this furious king of beasts?
32117Walworth?"
32117Walworth?"
32117Was it a quarrel about her?"
32117Was it not an awkward method of shutting a window?
32117Was it the Priestess and the Prophetess Miriam, back once more to the banks of the Nile?
32117Was it the old and forgotten mastery of all things animate which Moses and his sister knew that gave her dominion over the king of the desert?
32117Was she not some one''s ghost, making this wild and mysterious ride?
32117Was this Judith again incarnate?
32117We do n''t care to have another member added to our family, eh, Olympe, dear?"
32117Well, do you know what I''d do to you, Ravelli, if I saw you kiss her hands-- as I did-- without her consent?
32117What did it mean, this failure of Helen to recognize me?
32117What did it mean?
32117What do you suppose is taking place?"
32117What does that mean?"
32117What is the matter with the wires?"
32117What is to be the end of it all?
32117What light might that little book not throw on the mystery?
32117What was behind those low gunwales?
32117What was that which protruded from the open door, and so nearly filled the aperture that the draught was not impaired?
32117What were the men bringing to us?
32117What will come of it all?
32117When she saw me she smiled happily and said in a sweet, sleepy voice,"Is it time to get up, Arthur?
32117When this business had been finished, she asked:"Are you married?"
32117Where d''you come frum?"
32117Where did you meet her?"
32117Where had I seen them?
32117Where have you been, all this tedious time?"
32117Where is the hate that I boasted of?
32117Where was Helen?
32117Where was Uncle John, where was Captain Raymond, and where was Helen?
32117Who is Helen Rankine?
32117Who was this woman here who stepped between death and me and stood looking a wounded lion in the face?
32117Who''s next?"
32117Who, in pity''s name, is_ she_?"
32117Who, then, was the dead man?
32117Why ca n''t I be a man, and not a silly, raving boy?
32117Why do you ask?"
32117Why should I attempt to?
32117Why should she not be happy?
32117Why was it?
32117Will you lees- ten?"
32117Will you not ask her the same question?"
32117Would it be taking a liberty if I asked their names?"
32117Would more than one hand have been naturally used?
32117You and Ravelli quarreled about the girl?"
32117You could relieve him of a great deal of worry, and if you would go with us----""Kate,"I said,"do you want me to go?"
32117You do n''t believe it?
32117You remember being in---- Hotel one morning last month?"
32117You wo n''t leave them to your enemies, I suppose?"
32117cried the captain,"you think he swallowed the bracelet, do you?"
32117she whispered, and in a lower tone still,"What woman?"
32117thought I,"can such a face hide a selfish and intriguing heart?"
29173A jeweller''s?
29173A little romance of Harborne''s which has ended fatally?
29173A spy as well as a thief-- eh?
29173A woman-- perhaps?
29173Am I?
29173An outsider-- eh?
29173And I wonder what Bracondale would think of you if you endeavoured to send your own husband to prison-- eh?
29173And been well paid for his work, I suppose?
29173And how does he like his private papers being peered into, I wonder?
29173And if so, what then?
29173And if we meet the Baron, who, if all I hear be true, is an extremely shrewd person, what shall we do?
29173And our weakness is thereby revealed?
29173And that is his wife?
29173And that is-- what?
29173And the child?
29173And the safe?
29173And they seem to have greatly interested you, nurse-- eh?
29173And what better life can you ever hope to lead, pray? 29173 And what do you intend doing now?"
29173And you care for me no longer?
29173And you say he was not an adventurer?
29173And you''ve come all the way from London, and got here at eleven o''clock at night, to tell me this?
29173And, further, may I crave a favour?
29173Ansell evidently knew the arrangements of the house-- eh?
29173Any juryman wish to ask a question?
29173Any suspicion regarding her?
29173Anything else?
29173Anything else?
29173Anything good?
29173Anything suspicious-- eh?
29173Are they rich?
29173Are you prepared to give me my revenge-- eh?
29173Are you quite certain?
29173Are you quite sure you prefer not to go for a drive this afternoon?
29173Are you really leaving, nurse?
29173Are you sure that''The American''has it all?
29173Are you there? 29173 As if he had fallen there?"
29173Awkward, is n''t it?
29173Been inside to- day?
29173Blackmail, you call it-- eh?
29173But do n''t I say I ca n''t help you?
29173But how can I make terms with you?
29173But how will you explain?
29173But surely it is not impossible, or why should the British authorities suddenly awaken to the peril of the air?
29173But surely we ought always to try and evade it?
29173But surely you do n''t anticipate such a calamity?
29173But what are the main features of the report? 29173 But what does that matter?
29173But where are the pearls now?
29173But who is he?
29173But who was the woman?
29173Came into money, I suppose?
29173Can we be of any assistance?
29173Can you imagine me sitting in an office all day, adding up figures, or writing letters for some other thief with a brass plate on his office door? 29173 Could you see the track of deceased''s motor- cycle?"
29173Deeds-- what do you mean?
29173Dey will not have much difficulty in finding her, I suppose-- hein?
29173Did n''t you tell Miss Oliver?
29173Did she recognise you?
29173Did you see anyone you knew?
29173Did you see anything of the fugitive, Leblanc?
29173Dinner ready?
29173Do they live here?
29173Do you dare to tell me that? 29173 Do you insinuate that I''m not worthy to have a decent, well- brought- up girl for a wife?"
29173Do you know her Christian name?
29173Do you live here?
29173Do you really mean what you say, Lord Bracondale?
29173Do you recognise this?
29173Do?
29173Does he wish for me?
29173Does she know anything?
29173Except what?
29173For any reason?
29173Got away with the swag? 29173 Greater than your own honour?"
29173Have you any clue whatever to her identity?
29173Have you come here with the express intent of goading me to madness?
29173Have you ever thought that, while you are a peer and a Cabinet Minister, I am only a nurse?
29173Have you taken any action in regard to those footmarks?
29173Have you taken leave of your senses?
29173He did not know your intention of leaving your home?
29173Helen is going, I suppose?
29173His friend sympathised with you-- eh?
29173How are you getting along? 29173 How can I ever thank you-- how can I ever repay you for all your kindness, care, and patience with me?
29173How can I tell?
29173How can I? 29173 How did he get away?"
29173How do you know?
29173How?
29173How?
29173I again repeat my question-- Will you honour me by becoming my wife? 29173 I wonder how she''ll take it?
29173I wonder what it all means?
29173I wonder what lie she told the Earl? 29173 I wonder what mysterious business Ralph has so constantly with Adolphe?
29173I wonder what really happened?
29173I wonder who that woman Montague was, and whether she really had any hand in the crime? 29173 I wonder who the girl can be?
29173I wonder with what motive he cycled so constantly over to this neighbourhood from Norwich or Beccles?
29173I wonder,she exclaimed, very faintly, speaking to herself,"I wonder whether Ralph will ever know that I met Dick?
29173I''ll keep it till I get the money from old Levy-- eh?
29173If he had retired from the Navy, then what was his business, do you suppose?
29173In love with you? 29173 In what position was the body when you discovered it?"
29173Is Lady Bracondale often here, in Havre?
29173Is anybody about?
29173Is he really what you alleged-- a German spy?
29173Is it being laid all right?
29173Is it not my profession?
29173Is it your habit to talk to Bracondale like that?
29173Is she a lady?
29173Is that the way you speak of her?
29173Is the Baron at home?
29173It is my duty to know, eh?
29173It seems long ago since we last met, does n''t it?
29173Let''s see,she exclaimed;"did n''t you say you were going out to- night?"
29173Madame gone?
29173May I hope? 29173 Much stuff?"
29173Mundesley?
29173News?
29173Nice passage over?
29173No? 29173 Not to you-- eh, Darnborough?"
29173Nurse Jean, might I ask the favour that you leave Mr. Darnborough to talk with me alone for half an hour? 29173 Of what?"
29173One of us? 29173 Or perhaps on the Riviera?
29173Our business concerns nobody but ourselves-- you understand?
29173Rich-- eh?
29173Shall it be in the next room? 29173 Shall we go to Saint Addresse?"
29173Shall we risk going to his room?
29173She''s not one of us, I suppose?
29173Shoot, eh?
29173Shut up, girl, will you?
29173So all we can now do is to remain good friends as long as ever we can-- eh? 29173 Strong reasons?"
29173Tell me, darling, what has occurred?
29173Tell me, dear, how you feel? 29173 Tell me, dear, what ails you?"
29173The Baron will not be told who informed against him?
29173Then the body must have been carried back from the spot where the blow was struck?
29173Then they also know that I married you, I suppose? 29173 Then why do n''t you love me now?
29173Then why not tell me the truth right out? 29173 Then you agree-- eh?"
29173Then you love me no longer-- eh, Jean?
29173Towards Norwich?
29173Valuable-- eh?
29173Was it for the crime committed on that night, I wonder? 29173 Well, Darnborough, what''s the matter?"
29173Well, Jean,he asked,"had a quiet morning, dear?"
29173Well, and what did really happen? 29173 Well, does n''t it mean a lot to me-- eh?"
29173Well, how much can you get for me?
29173Well,she asked suddenly,"what do you want with me now that you have found me?"
29173Well?
29173Well?
29173Well?
29173Well?
29173What about little Lady Michelcoombe? 29173 What are your wants?
29173What business is it of yours-- you soft- hearted fool?
29173What can she say?
29173What could I tell my husband?
29173What could ever happen that would part us?
29173What could have been the attraction? 29173 What did you do?"
29173What do they say?
29173What do you mean? 29173 What do you mean?"
29173What do you mean?
29173What else is it?
29173What have you got?
29173What is that?
29173What is the matter? 29173 What is the use of discussing it?"
29173What other jewels have you got?
29173What pearls?
29173What terms? 29173 What was he like?
29173What was that, Jean?
29173What were his duties?
29173What will she say when she knows?
29173What will you give me for this letter?
29173What''s up?
29173What, I wonder, was the motive for their meeting here-- in this quiet, out- of- the- world little place?
29173What, pray, is it to do with you?
29173What?
29173What?
29173When do you expect Lord Bracondale back?
29173When do you go back?
29173When do you propose starting?
29173Where am I to get money from?
29173Where are those pearls?
29173Where has she gone?
29173Where have you sprung from at this time of night?
29173Where is he?
29173Where is the Baron''s room?
29173Where is''The American''?
29173Where shall I go, Ted? 29173 Where''s the safe?"
29173Where-- where did you come from? 29173 Where?"
29173Who is he? 29173 Who is this man?"
29173Who knows?
29173Who''s the lucky girl?
29173Who?
29173Why all this emergency-- eh?
29173Why do you ask? 29173 Why do you dread that?"
29173Why should I deny it? 29173 Why?"
29173Why?
29173Why?
29173Will Bracondale be at home to- night?
29173Will you be mine, dearest?
29173Will you call here at eight for despatches?
29173Will you have inquiries made?
29173Will you have no pity for me?
29173Will you leave us alone?
29173Will you trust in me and throw in your lot in life with mine?
29173Would it not be a great sacrifice? 29173 Yes, but you''ll come with us, wo n''t you?"
29173Yes, mother,exclaimed the little girl,"but you were frightened, were n''t you?
29173Yes-- and you? 29173 You always prefer this place to Bracondale-- eh?
29173You do love me, Jack?
29173You do really love me? 29173 You have been brought up in London-- eh?"
29173You have reasons for not telling them at Scotland Yard-- eh?
29173You heard us talking?
29173You intend to do so, I suppose?
29173You joined the Sisterhood in France, did you not?
29173You killed this man, Jean?
29173You know how pleased we both are to have you at our side, are n''t we, Enid?
29173You know me-- eh? 29173 You know nothing more?"
29173You refuse to give me the pearls-- eh?
29173You speak English?
29173You taunt me with my position-- why? 29173 You think he was dead?
29173You want money in return for your silence?
29173You will be mine, darling, will you not?
29173You wo n''t give them to me as price of your honour-- eh? 29173 You would go to my husband?"
29173You''ve brought over all the things, I suppose?
29173You''ve got your revolver-- eh?
29173A woman-- eh?"
29173AND SHALL TRELAWNEY DIE?
29173All very compromising for her, eh?
29173Am I not correct?"
29173And now you ca n''t say but what I''m not generous-- can you?"
29173And poor Adolphe?
29173And pray upon what grounds do you accuse me of such a thing?
29173And you have been living in London all the time?"
29173And you have no objection, I suppose?"
29173And"The Eel"?
29173And-- and what should I do?"
29173Are you prepared to face the music?"
29173Aye, when?
29173Besides, what could that file of papers have contained-- what facts concerning her friend''s tragic end?
29173Brouet inquire so anxiously after Ralph every day?"
29173But are these people who pose as being so highly respectable really any more honest than we are?
29173But as he was almost without a sou, what could he do?
29173But must it be so?
29173But she must not suspect anything-- you understand?"
29173But what was the use?"
29173But why had he not warned him?
29173But why keep your secret?
29173But will you always love me as fondly as you now do?"
29173But you wo n''t mind, dear, will you?"
29173But, my girl, we need not have necessity to meet again, need we?"
29173Can I get you anything?"
29173Can you ever love me sufficiently to sacrifice yourself?
29173Come, where are those pearls?"
29173Could he know anything?
29173Der gentleman who was a motor- cyclist?"
29173Did he ever suggest that you should leave your husband?"
29173Did he really believe her story?
29173Did he suspect?
29173Do n''t you know me?"
29173Do we not get excitement, adventure, money, pleasure-- everything that makes life worth living?
29173Do you fear something real and tangible, or is it only some vague foreboding?"
29173Do you happen to know him?
29173Do you hear that-- once and for all?"
29173Do you know that your confounded Turkish concession is n''t worth the paper it''s written upon?"
29173Do you know, Jean?"
29173Do you recollect how brutally you treated me-- eh?"
29173Do you think I''m a fool to believe such a story?
29173Does it interest you, sir?"
29173For the sake of her child, how could she confess to him?
29173Guess she''s still in London, eh?"
29173Gut-- eh?"
29173Had Ralph found this out?
29173Had he been present and seen the meeting?
29173Has he got a bit more out of the Michelcoombe woman and cleared out?
29173Have you gained any further information concerning his mysterious end?"
29173Have you not seen that I love you?"
29173Have you told them at Scotland Yard?"
29173Have you?"
29173He was a smart agent, I believe?"
29173How can I love a man who is a murderer?"
29173How could she confess that she was the wife of a notorious thief-- a man who had been shot like a dog by the police?
29173How quiet, how charming it is, after London-- eh?"
29173How----?"
29173I do n''t understand?"
29173I mean, what facts have our friends in Berlin got hold of?"
29173I suppose that, if the truth were told, England hardly welcomes another cable laid by Germany-- hein?"
29173I wonder how much they are worth?"
29173I wonder if you would excuse me if I leave you here for ten minutes or so?
29173I wonder what it was?"
29173I wonder?"
29173If he comes-- if the servants come-- how can you explain his body in your room?
29173If so, had Dick died by her husband''s hand?
29173Is she known?"
29173Is that the justice we have in France?"
29173It is n''t likely, now, is it?"
29173It wo n''t be nice for that little girl to be taken from you, will it?"
29173Next instant a big, burly night- watchman dashed in upon them, crying:"What do you fellows want''ere-- eh?"
29173Not quite so much excitement in this place as yesterday-- eh?"
29173Of what use was it to wait there?
29173Perhaps you know it?"
29173Remember the affair at the Austrian Ambassador''s, when a stranger offered poor Bonnemain twenty thousand francs to get certain documents?
29173Say, do you recollect that ugly old widow in Venice?
29173Say, we struck lucky when we fell in with her, eh?"
29173Say-- what a sensation it would cause in the halfpenny papers, would n''t it?"
29173Shall we accept?"
29173Shall we go out for a walk?"
29173She''s a perfect little gold- mine, is n''t she?"
29173Should he give up, or should he make still one more dash-- liberty or death?
29173So why trouble further?"
29173Something on-- eh?"
29173Surely the continual atmosphere of the sick- room is very depressing?"
29173Tell me,"he urged, speaking in a low whisper as he bent to her,"tell me-- may I hope?"
29173That night when I caught you two together on the terrace at Monte Carlo-- you remember?
29173The commissary looked at him sharply, and asked:"How do you know that?"
29173Then he added:"By the way, are there any good nurses in Torquay?"
29173Then he asked, in a low, weak whisper:"What''s happened?"
29173Then, turning to Jean, he said:"You''ll excuse me, dearest, wo n''t you?
29173They know you are wife of the guilty man-- eh?"
29173They''ve tried a good many times, have n''t they Adolphe?"
29173True, she had told a white lie, but in the circumstances, could you, my reader, blame her?
29173Was it possible that Ralph knew?
29173Was it true, or was it a lie?
29173Was it wise to court it?
29173Was silence judicious in those circumstances?
29173Well, how are things in Egypt?"
29173Well, how goes it?"
29173Were my fears well- grounded, and did my prediction of discovery come true?
29173What a nice scene for him-- eh?
29173What could she have been doing in Bremen?
29173What could she say?
29173What did you say?"
29173What does all this mean?"
29173What excuse could I make to Bracondale?"
29173What has happened?"
29173What has upset you?"
29173What have you done with the stolen property-- eh?
29173What have you got of real value?"
29173What if Adolphe were captured leaving the premises?
29173What if Bracondale came back before the exchange were effected?
29173What if he is suspected?
29173What risk?"
29173What would he say, how would he treat her, if he ever knew the ghastly truth?
29173What would young Baldwin have thought if he had seen those three precious louis?
29173What''s her name?"
29173What''s the good of that to me?"
29173What''s the latest problem-- eh?"
29173What''s this?"
29173What''s your advice?"
29173What, he wondered, could be the nature of the secret of such a good, pure- minded, honest woman?
29173When would"_ Der Tag_"("The Day")--as it was toasted every evening in the military messes of the German Empire-- dawn?
29173Where are they?"
29173Where do they sail from?"
29173Where have you met her?"
29173Where is she?"
29173Where was her husband?
29173Where, too, was the low- born thief who had taken her part and prevented the blow upon that never- to- be- forgotten night?
29173Who could have done it?
29173Who could say?
29173Why had he asked her whether she had met anyone she knew that morning?
29173Why not confide in me?"
29173Why not return and be a dutiful wife to me?"
29173Why not?
29173Why should you cut yourself off so entirely from the world?"
29173Why-- why was he killed on that evening?
29173Will you be mine?"
29173Will you bring me my smelling- salts?"
29173Will you come?"
29173Will you not take pity upon me and try to reciprocate, in even a small degree, the great love I bear you?
29173Will you ring up again?
29173Will you?"
29173Would Bracondale notice the change in her?
29173Would he, in his genteel garb, be recognised by some agent of the Sûreté as"The American"?
29173Would they ever meet again?
29173Yes,"he added,"you''ve been devilish clever to get that letter out of me, and burn it before my eyes-- haven''t you-- eh?
29173Yet what is one man''s life to his enemies when such a secret is at stake?"
29173You ca n''t expect me, Jean, to accept a lump payment for my silence, can you?
29173You can go on for a week or so, ca n''t you?"
29173You do n''t mind, do you?
29173You do n''t want Bracondale to know the truth, do you?"
29173You know the Baron''s out at Neuilly?
29173You surely are n''t going to stand by and see your husband starve, are you?
29173You surely do n''t think I''m going to let you have your affectionate letter for that sum, do you?"
29173You would n''t like him to have that letter-- would you, now?"
29173You''ve been very happy there, both of you, I suppose-- eh?"
29173Your train from Paris was not late-- eh?
32059And pirates?
32059And why did they lay in wait for us?
32059Any danger of the beam being seen?
32059Any guesses on their hideout?
32059Any news of the boat?
32059Any radio contact?
32059Are they all right?
32059Are we going to take special equipment?
32059Are you certain?
32059Boat? 32059 Boys, what can we use for a splint?"
32059But how?
32059But what can we do?
32059But where did the boat go?
32059But which way do we go now?
32059But why, Chahda?
32059Can you tell us if they had any visitors?
32059Chahda, what on earth does a Hindu textile salesman have to do with finding Briotti and Shannon?
32059Colorful, yes? 32059 Could you bean that lookout with a stone from a sling?"
32059Did you dream the right answer?
32059Did you ever see anything weirder than those pirates dancing? 32059 Did you know their Moro guide?"
32059Did you know we have a tail? 32059 Do you hear us?"
32059Do you know if they hired him here?
32059Do you mean clothes?
32059Do you think they''re still alive?
32059Doctor, what does the missing word sound like?
32059Does anyone doubt that this is the right place?
32059Does he know where the Americans were taken?
32059Friends? 32059 Got arrows left?"
32059Guide?
32059Have you ever had such an incident before?
32059How about Zamboanga?
32059How about clothing, Colonel?
32059How about it? 32059 How about shoes?"
32059How about some sleep?
32059How about you, Professor?
32059How are we doing?
32059How did they get up there?
32059How did you find that out?
32059How is the present expedition connected with your previous work? 32059 How many?"
32059I not go?
32059If he was lying, what can we do about it?
32059If you stay, you''ll need a guide, wo n''t you?
32059In what way?
32059Is anyone hurt?
32059Is his office nearby?
32059Is n''t Chahda due pretty soon?
32059Is there a choice? 32059 Is there anything I can do?"
32059Major, what are we going to do?
32059Major, what ever happened to the boat our friends came in?
32059Meaning what?
32059No sign of Briotti?
32059Not from southwest?
32059Nothing stops you, does it? 32059 Now what?"
32059Of what?
32059Professor, can you carry Shannon? 32059 Ready to climb Mount Everest, brother Scott?"
32059Rick, you there?
32059Scotty, any more vintas?
32059Scotty, when you first spotted the pirates, from what direction were they coming?
32059Sir, have you any idea what might have happened to our friends?
32059So fast?
32059So you two are attending the meeting too, eh? 32059 Suppose you start, Scotty?
32059That leaves only one logical answer, does n''t it? 32059 Then what can we do?"
32059Then what?
32059They certainly do n''t make much fuss over two missing Americans, do they?
32059Think it''s safe to join us?
32059Think there might be a connection?
32059Think they were taken away on the boat?
32059Was a Moro guide with our friends?
32059We ca n''t be sure, but does n''t it seem likely?
32059We go after scientists, yes? 32059 What are you doing?"
32059What did Okola do about it?
32059What did you do?
32059What got into him? 32059 What have shoes to do with it?"
32059What have you been doing?
32059What is a Moro? 32059 What is going on?"
32059What is this strange way?
32059What now?
32059What time is it?
32059What we do now?
32059What we do now?
32059What we do now?
32059What''s he talking about?
32059What''s this date business?
32059What''s up?
32059What''s your plan?
32059What?
32059Where are we?
32059Where is Bulan?
32059Where is light?
32059Where is the boat now?
32059Where you go first? 32059 Where''s Chahda?"
32059Where''s Zircon?
32059Which way did it go?
32059Who are the Pirates of Shan?
32059Who could those men have been? 32059 Who has the wheel?...
32059Who knows? 32059 Who''s he?"
32059Whose leg is it? 32059 Why all the sudden interest in weapons?"
32059Why did n''t you wire? 32059 Why not use both engines?"
32059Why were they kidnaped?
32059Will you come with us to translate, Doctor? 32059 Will you go back to the fort now?"
32059Wo n''t they recognize the vinta?
32059Wonder how long it will take to hear from Chahda?
32059Would you care to hazard a surmise about the identity of these putative pirates?
32059Yes?
32059You did n''t know?
32059You had Dr. Briotti and Dr. Shannon as guests, I believe?
32059You have a description of the boat?
32059You have heard from the American consulate at Manila?
32059You have no new information about what happened to them?
32059You knew of our coming from Major Lacson?
32059You know their itinerary?
32059You know there plenty parrots here? 32059 You know what he did?
32059You mean we have to convince them we''re no longer fast?
32059You mean you did n''t know they came by boat?
32059You mentioned a robbery?
32059You no care how big?
32059You remember canned hombargers? 32059 You think they might not have been thieves?
32059You want to stay on with these stubborn idiots?
32059Across the top of the front page was emblazoned: WHERE IS ELPIDIO TORRES?
32059And how do you suppose he did it?"
32059And that meant... what?
32059And you know what I hope, do n''t you?"
32059Any trouble?"
32059Are you all right?"
32059Are you on?"
32059Brant?"
32059But did Chahda shut up?"
32059But did anyone see their boat?"
32059But how did they know we were coming?"
32059But if not, where could they be?
32059But why would pirates take our friends?"
32059Can I have drink, please?"
32059Can you get a description from there?"
32059Can you see it clearly, Scotty?"
32059Can you stand by while the rest of us make a quick trip?
32059Can you?"
32059Chahda asked in quick alarm,"You think they kill scientists when we come today?"
32059Chahda asked,"Rick, what is torpedo boat?"
32059Chahda asked,"What means this to you, sir?"
32059Chahda?"
32059Chahda?...
32059Did anyone notice a preferred way around the cone?"
32059Did they have any weapons with them?"
32059Did you ever try tacking a vinta for hours against a stiff breeze?"
32059Did you know that Tony and I were classmates in high school?"
32059Did you see the ladder?"
32059Do we head for them next?"
32059Do you also plan to use their Hindu friend, Chahda?"
32059Do you want to die?
32059Do you want us all to die?
32059Elpidio Torres?
32059Had the big scientist gone down?
32059Had the pirates removed the scientists, leaving the lookout in his usual position?
32059Have you an atlas?
32059He asked,"Are you the manager?"
32059How are things, Tony?"
32059How are we going to get out of this?"
32059How did you happen to be wearing shoes?"
32059How things go?"
32059How were they going to get the scientists out with a guard watching them?
32059How would our own papers play it?"
32059If Lacson, obviously an intelligent and efficient officer, could find out no more, how could three strangers?
32059If we accept your idea, do we assume it was the same gang that traveled from Cotabato to Davao?
32059Is Tony right?"
32059Is he trailing us now?"
32059Jolo, maybe?
32059Learn anything?"
32059May I have a few moments to change clothing?"
32059Might they have vanished on this trail?
32059My question, Colonel Rojas, is what are you going to do about these pirates?
32059Notice that the vintas ahead of us are running before the wind?
32059Notice they did n''t try to follow us, or cut us off anywhere except on the west?
32059Now, who will go on this reconnaissance?"
32059Okay?
32059Okay?"
32059Okay?"
32059Okay?"
32059Once the group was assembled again, Rojas asked,"What are your plans?"
32059Or, were both groups local people?"
32059Otherwise, why attack us?"
32059Professor, are you hurt?"
32059Remember the missing Filipino boy from Manila?
32059Rick asked thoughtfully,"You think he might not have been a Moro?"
32059Rick asked,"Did anyone show unusual interest in them?"
32059Rick exploded,"What in the name of an Indian idiot are you doing?"
32059Rick said doubtfully,"Is n''t it dangerous to get too close?"
32059Scotty asked an elderly Filipino who was watching,"Sir, may I ask the name of that kind of boat?"
32059Scotty asked,"How much do you know about our friends''disappearance, Chahda?"
32059Scotty continued,"Why does a bowshot have to be lethal?
32059Scotty whispered to Rick,"Who''s going to win?"
32059See over there?"
32059Shannon?"
32059So what I do?
32059So why not pirates?"
32059Something I can do?"
32059That it might have been a kidnap attempt that failed?"
32059The big question is, how do we get them out of there?"
32059The only real puzzle is, does the volcano have a crater?
32059The problem now is, what do we do?"
32059The question is, how can we reconnoiter the island?
32059Want to say hello?"
32059Was it a beacon for pirates who might be out in the vintas?
32059We take them out by the back door, huh?"
32059What boat?"
32059What do we do now?"
32059What else can we do?"
32059What is it?"
32059What number room?"
32059What took you so long to get back?
32059When do we leave, Dad?"
32059Where are you?"
32059Where was Chahda?
32059Where you been?"
32059Which one, Scotty?
32059Who has the first watch?"
32059Why did n''t someone show up?
32059Why did n''t they simply kill the two of you?"
32059Why go to all this trouble?"
32059Why not plant a story that one engine is bad?"
32059Why not?
32059Why would a gang chase our friends across Mindanao?"
32059Why?"
32059Wo n''t he set off an alarm that will put the whole mob on the alert?"
32059Yes?"
32059Yesterday we got away through sheer speed, right?
32059You coming too?
32059You know some Bagobos speak a little English?
32059You know who got our friends?
32059You know, he right?
32059You like my weapons?"
32059You meaning purposies?"
32059You recall that we did n''t see the island yesterday until we were perhaps ten miles away?
32059You remember we still got vinta?"
32564''Lovely head'', Lieutenant?
32564''Say to her?''
32564''Yes''? 32564 ... You mean Cordell?"
32564All of us?
32564Ames Chemical pay you a good salary?
32564And if I do n''t?
32564And if those men do n''t find anything?
32564And the things he heard you and Gilmore saying?
32564And why should you speak English on Mythox? 32564 And you know exactly how you''ll get me back to Earth I suppose?
32564Anything wrong?
32564Are all Earthlings so assertive?
32564Are n''t you being rather absurd? 32564 Are n''t you surprised?"
32564Are n''t you the officer who arrested the young man who today was sentenced to die?
32564Are you denying it?
32564At what time?
32564But the evidence? 32564 But why this?
32564Certainly you did not refute the logic of his argument? 32564 Children?"
32564Did you come on the ship?
32564Did you trip?
32564Do n''t you know?
32564Do you know anyone named Naia North?
32564Do you mean you were_ brought_--?
32564Do you think anyone can do the work I do and remain unmarked?
32564Does yes mean no on this cockeyed planet?
32564Enough for two to live on?
32564Good God,he burst out,"are you saying I killed Juanita because I wanted her to stop working?
32564Have you got your bags packed for a trip stateside?
32564Hiding behind a woman, brave Earthman?
32564How long did your wife work for Professor Gilmore?
32564How many do you know?
32564How old was your wife?
32564How would you go about it?
32564If you want to see Naia North why do n''t you come with me?
32564Is there any way I can call on the lady in the mirror personally?
32564Just what,he said between his teeth,"do you mean by_ that_ crack?"
32564Kind of young to rate that high, would n''t you say? 32564 Kirk, you said?"
32564Men like Karney? 32564 Okay so far?"
32564Pretty big job for a woman, was n''t it?
32564Shall I,he said, his lips quirking,"ask you to write_ me_ a letter?"
32564Shall we bring you here? 32564 Sure you''ve left nothing out?"
32564Takin''in washin''? 32564 That slipped out.... Why the confession?"
32564That''s a peculiar question for a homicide officer to ask, is n''t it?
32564The same way you did I suppose, is there more than one way?
32564Then,Kirk said heatedly,"what''s_ your_ explanation?"
32564This shiny hunk of metal you used: where is it now?
32564Well, Lieutenant?
32564Wha''s''at? 32564 What about those flashes of light?"
32564What about?
32564What do you mean you did n''t?
32564What do you want done?
32564What do you want here?
32564What for?
32564What for?
32564What good''s my trying to tell you if you wo n''t listen? 32564 What more do you want?
32564What was her job?
32564What''s got into you, Lieutenant? 32564 What''s her name?"
32564What''s on your mind, Miss North?
32564When you passed Professor Gilmore''s secretary in his outer office yesterday, what did you say to her?
32564Where do you want me to start?
32564Who did?
32564Who is it?
32564Who says I did?
32564Why do n''t you put some clothes on?
32564Why not?
32564Why,he said,"did you want her to walk out on her job; to give up her career?"
32564Why?
32564Why?
32564Why?
32564Will you put on your clothes and go into the city and locate Naia North for me?
32564Wo n''t you reconsider?
32564Would you like a dead wife?
32564Yeah, Jerry.... Four of''em, hey? 32564 You did n''t put those Joe Louis light rays in your bedroom, did you?"
32564You do n''t believe that do you, bud?
32564You do n''t?
32564You got your bag packed for a little trip, baby?
32564You hear anything besides this collection of ice cubes?
32564You mean this atom bomb stuff?
32564You saw me get out of it did n''t you? 32564 You see how useless it is?"
32564You think you''re fooling around with half- wits? 32564 You too, honey?"
32564You would n''t be sort of a hatchet- woman for this high- blown outfit, would you? 32564 You''re going to see Naia North?"
32564You_ what_?
32564_ What?_ You mean they have n''t released Cordell? 32564 _ What?_ You mean they have n''t released Cordell?
32564_ What_ evidence, Lieutenant?
32564A defense mechanism against insanity?
32564A discussion of any kind that may have become a bit heated?
32564A murder you confessed to, or has it slipped your mind?"
32564A new day, a new set of problems, and why knock yourself out over something that does n''t concern you?
32564A series of almost undetectable clicking sounds; then:"Alma?"
32564A trained flashlight?"
32564A: At about 5:45 p.m. Q: Who was in the office at that time?
32564And Kirk, for no apparent reason, thought of a phrase common among children during his own childhood,"Who died and left you boss?"
32564And his poor stupid orthodox mind asked a pitifully logical question: How could it get light, with the sun at high noon, in fifteen minutes?
32564And what was it you said to her?
32564And why did you come?"
32564And you know what they found out?
32564And you know what_ I_ think?"
32564And you''d put your clothes on before you went?"
32564At least long enough to build you a new identity?"
32564At what time was this?
32564Because she''d taken a life or two?
32564Blatz?"
32564But now that"taking"had come out"Dakin"--what did the rest of the phrase mean?
32564But what if it stops working?
32564But why, and for what?
32564Check.... You mean_ all_ of them?
32564Coincidence?
32564Could he find her and haul her off silly tilt- a- whirl?
32564Did n''t I tell you?
32564Did this thing smell me out?"
32564Do I have to sign a paper or something?"
32564Do you follow me?"
32564Do you have any thought at all on what that means?"
32564Do you know what language you''re speaking?"
32564Does n''t he want murder cases solved?"
32564Especially a mistake that''s going to get all the publicity this one''s bound to?
32564Gilmore did n''t own any colleges and how do you go about warning one?
32564Have n''t you got a language of your own?"
32564Have you considered that I may refuse that permission?"
32564He sat beside Raima and asked,"About that ship I came here in?
32564He thought: When I come to that stairway I''ll be back where I started but where''s that?
32564Hey, how about that, Lieutenant?
32564How about a smoke, Lieutenant?"
32564How did you get here?"
32564How did you get to Mythox?
32564How do you expect me to remember a thing like that?"
32564How fast does it travel and how far is it from Mythox to Earth?"
32564How long you married, Cordell?"
32564I now ask you, Paul Cordell, is n''t that what you said to Alma Dakin?
32564I thought this Cordell guy did that job?"
32564I thought--""I''d been suckered?
32564I wonder if Naia''s cruelty has n''t affected your mind?"
32564If the deaths of these four scientists was the result of some sinister plan, who was responsible?
32564Is that true?
32564Is that what you''re telling me?"
32564Join us?"
32564Kennedy?
32564Kirk?"
32564Miss Dakin?
32564Now I ask you again: Was that all you said to her at that time?
32564Now could she?
32564Now how about that?
32564Now how well do you know Miss Dakin?
32564Now let''s cut out all this hokey- pokey and pick up a few loose ends, The first thing: what about Paul Cordell?"
32564Now where was she and how did it work?
32564Okay?"
32564Or is there?"
32564Or was it because she wanted to shield the real killer?
32564Or was it the other way around?
32564Q: But you did pay attention, as you call it, to Miss Dakin?
32564Q: Did you ever have an argument with her?
32564Q: Ever ask her for a date?
32564Q: Have you ever seen her outside Professor Gilmore''s office?
32564Q: It is n''t possible you''ve forgotten some additional remark?
32564Q: That was all?
32564Q: Then to your knowledge she''d have no reason to dislike you?
32564Q: What reason would she have for lying, Mr. Cordell?
32564Raima followed, stood beside the animal and called,"Do n''t you want to go down to street level?"
32564Say_ what_?"
32564She said almost carelessly:"That''s all you''d need to clear Paul Cordell, is n''t it?"
32564She''s pretty, is n''t she?"
32564So long as the score was completely unknown to him, why not follow the path of least resistance?
32564So why strange?
32564So, Miss North, how did you get in there after Alma Dakin left and before Paul Cordell arrived?"
32564Some foreign power, concerned about this country''s growing mastery of nuclear fission?
32564Some government agency?
32564Somethin''doin''?"
32564Sure, but what''s that got to do with it?
32564Take his story to the Police Commissioner?
32564Tell me-- where am I?"
32564The man''s innocent, Mr. D. A.; have you forgotten?"
32564Time enough?"
32564Want me to get rid of her?"
32564Was he going to be forced to sit there and listen to twelve of fourteen hours of feminine snoring?
32564Was it because she was so certain he had killed her employer that she wanted to make sure he would be punished?
32564Was it his duty to notify the FBI of his findings and let them take over from here?
32564Washing; washing..._ watching_?
32564Well, why not?
32564Were you wearing gloves that afternoon, Miss North?"
32564What about it?
32564What did it mean?
32564What did she say?"
32564What did you mean?"
32564What did you think I meant?"
32564What do them bug doctors know?
32564What do you care if it''s a flock of lies?
32564What do you use for a rudder, sweetheart?"
32564What end does torturing this poor unfortunate serve?"
32564What for?"
32564What gives with knocking off nuclear physicists, baby?"
32564What good is a hall you keep going around and around in?
32564What in the hell_ was_ all this?
32564What kind of supermen are these?
32564What possible reason could Gilmore''s secretary have for going out of her way to lie about Cordell''s remark?
32564What right did she have to walk in here and flaunt a body like that in his face?
32564What say you?"
32564What sounded like_ washing_?
32564What the hell else would a Watcher do but watch?
32564What to do about it?
32564What will Tamu say?"
32564What''s she got to be scared of?
32564What''s your address?"
32564What''ve you got to do with Paul Cordell?"
32564What_ is_ this?"
32564Where can I wait for you?"
32564Who could do a better job of faking evidence than a crooked cop?
32564Who says I said that?"
32564Why come down here voluntarily and stick your lovely head in a noose?"
32564Why did Miss Dakin leave him?"
32564Why do n''t you take it up with them?"
32564Why not wait in the office for your wife?"
32564Why not?
32564Why should he think her strange?
32564Why should she put me on a spot like that?
32564Why the switcheroo?
32564Why?"
32564Will you stop being foolish, or must I kill you?"
32564Yes, what?"
32564You any idea what it can mean to a politician to have to admit publicly that he''s made a mistake?
32564You figure on copping a plea on insanity?"
32564You folks own that green Buick parked out in front?"
32564You know the evidence given at the trial-- particularly that given by Gilmore''s secretary?"
32564You sure you want to go through with it?"
32564You think the Prof''s through making love to my wife?"
32564You think the Prof''s through making love to my wife?''"
32564You think the Prof''s through making love to my wife?''"
32564You want the rest, or you want to trade wise cracks?"
32564You wanted to see me?"
32564You''re thinking of fingerprints?"
32564You_ nuts_?
32564You_ ordered_ Professor Gilmore and Juanita Cordell murdered?
32564[ Illustration:_ She was standing a good two feet off the floor in the middle of a glowing bubble that pulsed and wavered around her._]"Then what?"
32564_ Every bit of what she told me was false!_ Hear that?
32564_ Twelve times zero_ made no sense at all... unless it could be the combination of a safe...?
28849About what?
28849And if the plane was out of sight, what would you do then?
28849Any guesses about where he might be heading?
28849Any idea who it was that phoned?
28849Any luck?
28849Any other plans?
28849Anything else?
28849Anything to them?
28849Are n''t you the one said it was n''t coffee?
28849Are you fooling yourself? 28849 Are you okay now?"
28849Are you speaking of my airplane or my automobile?
28849Because you''d be afraid those two wild men in the airplane would report it to the police? 28849 Been riding?"
28849But how are we going to find out if that''s the answer?
28849But how? 28849 But it is n''t as simple as that, is it, Rick?"
28849But we''re not giving up, are we, Scotty?
28849But what would they be smuggling?
28849But what''s this tower business?
28849But when is the right time going to come? 28849 But where do we come in?"
28849By the way, did you call Jerry while I was working on the camera?
28849Can individual frames of the film be blown up and made into decent pictures?
28849Can you always call your shots like that?
28849Can you find out what source the automatic light uses for electricity? 28849 Cap''n, are you sure?"
28849Cap''n, could n''t you pretend to be his brother?
28849Cap''n, exactly what was the weather like when Tom Tyler hit?
28849Cap''n, where is this Jake''s Grill?
28849Captain,the man asked,"do you mean you have come into this hearing without counsel?"
28849Checked the equipment recently?
28849Current? 28849 Did n''t Cap''n Mike say a family named Kelso had taken the hotel because their little boy was sick and needed fresh air?"
28849Did n''t you say you wished you would get in on an adventure with us?
28849Did we come out here to fish or to talk?
28849Did you get all that?
28849Did you get anything out of him?
28849Did you notice the rifle he carried?
28849Did you talk it over with Cap''n Mike?
28849Disposed of? 28849 Do n''t you know it''s too early to fly south?"
28849Do n''t you think he really is?
28849Do they ever have any visitors?
28849Do we dare put our heads inside the Seaford city limits again after what we did to Carrots? 28849 Do we have to?
28849Do we have to?
28849Do you go along with me or not?
28849Do you know this boy?
28849Do you know where he lives?
28849Do you live there?
28849Do you suppose that was the sick little boy?
28849Do you think he found out?
28849Do you think my coming here is funny?
28849Do you? 28849 Ever notice that one- story building next to the pier?
28849Ever wanted to be a reporter?
28849First of all, how do you plan to get the film developed?
28849Fishing, eh? 28849 Get a real scoop, sonny?"
28849Getting anything out of this?
28849Getting anywhere on that Seaford yarn?
28849Going to put in your paper that Tom Tyler ran aground on Smugglers''Reef, hey? 28849 Golly, do we have to get pictures of them peddling the stuff to customers?"
28849Got a magnifying glass?
28849Got an idea?
28849Got any change? 28849 Got ta call yer girl, Chick?"
28849Got what?
28849Got your camera?
28849Gus, how''s your plane?
28849Has it occurred to you that we''re going to be the star witnesses if this comes to trial?
28849He showed up himself? 28849 Hello?"
28849Hello?
28849How about a quick swim? 28849 How about it, Captain?"
28849How about spotting the_ Albatross_ from the air while she actually loads at sea?
28849How about that? 28849 How about that?"
28849How about those?
28849How about you, Rick?
28849How did it happen?
28849How did you know it was our airplane?
28849How did you know we''d be landing?
28849How do we know Brad is n''t going to load again tonight? 28849 How do we prove it?"
28849How do you know?
28849How do you suppose Carrots tracked us to Cap''n Mike''s shack?
28849How far apart were you?
28849How far does this stuff extend?
28849How far out do the trawlers go?
28849How long ago was that?
28849How long will it take?
28849How many shots can you get out of that air rifle?
28849How much footage did you get?
28849How much is that?
28849How much per column inch did you say?
28849How will you come down tonight?
28849How''s to borrow it for a quick trip south?
28849How''s your nerve?
28849How''s yours? 28849 How?"
28849How?
28849If they were doing any unloading, would n''t you have seen them, Cap''n Mike?
28849If we knew, would we be here?
28849If you were the Kelsos, and if you were bringing contraband into Creek House, how would you get it out of Seaford?
28849Important? 28849 Is he a good guy?"
28849Is n''t this the Garden Arms Apartments?
28849Is that hair real or has he got a wig on?
28849Keeping secrets, huh?
28849Lawyer?
28849Listen, what about reporting this to the police?
28849Luck? 28849 Mr. Jameson?
28849No trucks?
28849No?
28849Not very pretty, is he?
28849Now how about telling me how you found me? 28849 Now what?"
28849Number, please?
28849Okay with you?
28849Old seaman, is he? 28849 Only I wonder if we''ll ever prove it?"
28849Or is it that I like food as much as you do?
28849Others? 28849 Plan to use it?"
28849Red Kelso?
28849Remember us?
28849Rick Brant?
28849Scotty?
28849See anyone?
28849See enough?
28849See much from your airplane?
28849See something?
28849Seems I''ve read about you boys solving a mystery or two, have n''t I?
28849So you''ll work along with me, hey? 28849 Something bite you?"
28849South? 28849 Suppose the_ Albatross_ does n''t do any smuggling before Saturday?"
28849Suppose we take the State Police into our confidence?
28849Sure it''s all right? 28849 Then how did it happen?"
28849Then where were the smuggled goods?
28849Think Jerry will lend us his, Scotty?
28849Think he told you all he knows?
28849Think we''ve given them enough time?
28849Think you can take your own advice?
28849Thinking about going to take a look?
28849This? 28849 Want to go down and shine the lights on Creek House?"
28849Was Captain Tyler directly ahead of you, sir?
28849Was just the shifting of the light all you saw?
28849Was n''t four nights ago the night you saw Tom Tyler at Creek House?
28849Was that Scotty? 28849 Was the regular crew aboard the_ Sea Belle_?"
28849We had to find out why you were warning us, did n''t we?
28849Well, what now?
28849Were any other trawlers out last night?
28849Were these calls made at regular intervals?
28849What are you driving at?
28849What can I do for you?
28849What could I do? 28849 What deed?"
28849What did he say?
28849What did you make out of all that talk last night? 28849 What do they want to talk over?"
28849What do we do first?
28849What do we do now?
28849What do we do when we get there?
28849What do we do?
28849What do you mean?
28849What do you plan to try now?
28849What do you suppose he''s after?
28849What do you suppose is keeping him?
28849What do you suppose they''re smuggling? 28849 What do you think I want to take them into New York for?
28849What do you think about that warning?
28849What do you think about trying to solve this one?
28849What do you want us to do?
28849What does the film have to do with penetrating the darkness?
28849What else did we come here for?
28849What flag is that?
28849What for?
28849What for?
28849What for?
28849What happened?
28849What happened?
28849What happened?
28849What happens to the menhaden after they''re unloaded?
28849What happens to the people that received them?
28849What if we''ve run into something that''s only a small part of a really big smuggling ring?
28849What is the truth?
28849What is your number, please?
28849What kept you?
28849What makes you think he might be here?
28849What now?
28849What number was that, sir?
28849What of it? 28849 What room is he in?"
28849What time is it?
28849What time is it?
28849What was behind that remark?
28849What will you bet he never even tells his father what happened to him?
28849What would you need to fly at night?
28849What''d you think of Marbek claiming young Kelso as a nephew?
28849What''ll it be?
28849What''s his wife afraid of?
28849What''s that?
28849What''s that?
28849What''s the matter?
28849What''s your guess?
28849What? 28849 What?
28849When did you discover he had disappeared?
28849When do we try these things out?
28849When?
28849Where are the batteries?
28849Where did he live?
28849Where did this trawler run aground?
28849Where did you get the sniperscope?
28849Where do we get the papers?
28849Where to, Rick?
28849Where will I find him?
28849Where''s Jerry?
28849Where''s the garden it''s supposed to have a view of?
28849Where''s your sign?
28849Who says she''s afraid?
28849Why could n''t one of us be a relative looking for him?
28849Why do n''t you tell us all you know about the_ Albatross_ visiting Creek House?
28849Why do they want so much privacy?
28849Why do you call Rick''s driving adventurous?
28849Why do you think he and his crew are mixed up in it?
28849Why does anyone climb a tower? 28849 Why not?"
28849Why should anyone worry about us looking into things?
28849Why were n''t you at Spindrift when I phoned?
28849Why were you climbin''the tower?
28849Why?
28849Why?
28849Will you?
28849Wise guy, huh? 28849 Wonder how he happened to choose this location?"
28849Wonder if we''ll ever be able to prove that the Kelsos wrecked the_ Sea Belle_?
28849Wonder what''s on his mind?
28849Wonder where Carrots went to?
28849Wonder who they are?
28849Wonder why Captain Douglas did n''t see that?
28849Would it have interfered with him seeing the reef if the light had been out?
28849Yes, Mom?
28849Yes?
28849You Rick Brant?
28849You ai n''t goin''t''make me go through that business with that information gal again, are you?
28849You all right?
28849You did n''t tell Mom what happened to those two pieces of butterscotch pie, did you? 28849 You did?
28849You get a warning to stay away from Seaford, so what happens next?
28849You got a car?
28849You have?
28849You kids know Jimmy? 28849 You know what that means?
28849You know what this means, Tom? 28849 You mean an air gun has enough power to use for hunting?"
28849You mean you want us to help?
28849You really got any fishing gear in that launch?
28849You said he left of his own accord, did n''t you? 28849 You''re goin''to take a nice long look around, see?
28849You''re not giving up, are you, boys?
28849You''re not trying to kid anyone that you tie up at this pier before unloading your fish just because you want to be sociable, are you?
28849You''re telling me?
28849You, Brad?
28849Your head set firmly on your neck? 28849 After all, it would n''t hurt to satisfy his curiosity, would it? 28849 Ai n''t you got it written down there?
28849All right, Dad, what am I working on?"
28849And how did you know where to find me?"
28849And were n''t we warned not to go to Seaford?"
28849And what am I supposed to do now?"
28849And what did he drink?
28849And what happened?"
28849And where?
28849Any ideas?"
28849Any reason why I should?"
28849Anything important come up?"
28849As Rick swung wide out to sea and banked around to go south again, he said,"Know what they''re doing down there?
28849As they got out, he asked Rick,"Got your camera?"
28849As they ran down the stairs to the landing, Scotty asked,"What was it you said you had just before the phone rang?"
28849Besides, how would we know when the_ Albatross_ was going to make contact with a supply ship?
28849Bill, how did you find visibility last night?"
28849But are you sure it''d be safe?"
28849But how about Captain Killian?
28849But how do we know when the_ Albatross_ is going to visit the Kelsos?"
28849But how?
28849But how?"
28849But we''ll catch up with him one of these days, and when we do...""What''s it all about?"
28849But what if Smugglers''Light had been cut off and a false light lighted on the old tower?
28849But where to begin?
28849But where?
28849But why would he run away?"
28849By the way, happen to know where Jim Killian is tied up?"
28849CHAPTER VI The"Albatross""Know what I like about you?"
28849Can you tell me what''s going on?"
28849Cap''n Mike asked, too casually,"What''d you think of Tom Tyler running on Smugglers''Reef, Bill?"
28849Cap''n, have you talked to Captain Killian?"
28849Cap''n?"
28849Did Chick give me away?"
28849Did he miss you by much?"
28849Did n''t that phone call warn you not to fly over Seaford?"
28849Did n''t you just get back from somewhere?"
28849Did n''t you tell me you knew Mrs. Tyler was scared?"
28849Did they dare try it?
28849Did you ask him?"
28849Did you find out why we warned you?"
28849Did you notice any peculiar current offshore last night?"
28849Did you see him?"
28849Did you see that?"
28849Do I go alone?"
28849Do n''t you have to get back and help get it out?"
28849Do you keep a file of New York papers?"
28849Do you mind tying up somewhere else?''
28849Do you understand that?"
28849Duke Barrows said,"I do n''t suppose you would accept the coffee we served you as part payment?"
28849Duke, do you realize this may have been their last load?
28849Either of you boys hungry?"
28849Especially when you''re on a direct bearing for Spindrift when you leave?"
28849For what?
28849Go back to Creek House?
28849Got any doughnuts handy, Mom?"
28849Got anything on your mind?"
28849Got it Jerry?"
28849Hartson Brant, who was working in the library, answered it and called,"Rick?
28849He demanded,"How did you know?"
28849He gave Cap''n Mike a penetrating look, then said abruptly,"Where can we talk?"
28849He may... well, sir, I wonder if we could go up?"
28849He said aloud,"If the Kelsos and Brad Marbek took the stuff up to Salt Creek Bridge before we got there, what boat did they use?
28849He was sitting at a corner table in Sam''s Lobster House, and can you guess who was with him?"
28849How about a photographer?
28849How about getting him to send out one of his planes?"
28849How about taking it somewhere in a small boat?"
28849How about that, Jerry?"
28849How about watching from the boat?"
28849How about you?"
28849How can we know when the_ Albatross_ is going to make contact?"
28849How can you expect us to believe you ran the_ Sea Belle_ ashore while drunk?"
28849How did you copyright it so quickly, Duke?"
28849How does that strike you?"
28849How had he gotten caught?
28849How long did he figure it would take Brad to reach the other side of the fishing grounds?"
28849How long do you think it will take him to get out past the fishing grounds?
28849How''d you know that?"
28849How''s fish?"
28849How?"
28849I do n''t suppose they all leave at once, do they?"
28849I do n''t suppose you saw the name of the ship Marbek was getting his stuff from?"
28849I wonder if you can help me?"
28849If they had glasses on the ships, they could see even a flashlight, could n''t they?"
28849If you were hiding out, where would you go?"
28849Is it true Captain Tyler stands to lose his master''s license and may be even charged with deliberately wrecking the ship?"
28849Is that okay with you?"
28849Is there any place from which we can see her without being seen?"
28849Jerry, do you suppose Mildred is at the office?"
28849Leave it in my back yard when you get through, huh?"
28849Listen, Scotty, what if that''s just an American coaster?
28849Listen, what happens to the freighter if the police catch Brad with the goods?"
28849Listen, why would the Kelsos object to our flying over Seaford during the day?
28849Lost your taste for excitement?
28849Not letting what happened the other night scare you off, are you?"
28849Now how do you like that?"
28849Now how well do you know the cop on this beat?"
28849Now suppose we get Gus to install landing lights and navigation lights on a rental basis?
28849Now what?
28849Now what?"
28849Now, if you were in the house and a crazy pilot buzzed you twice, what would you do?"
28849Now, what kind of business requires a boat, a house on a secluded part of the beach, and a guard with a rifle?"
28849One of the men in the boat asked,"What they going to do with the kid?"
28849Only bronze?"
28849Or are you trying to fool me?"
28849Or are you working on something?"
28849Or was it that the fear had brought the wreck?
28849Remember I said he thought we were persecuting him?
28849Remember that inlet nearest the creek?
28849Remember?"
28849Rick asked unbelievingly,"An electronic mind reader?
28849Rick asked,"What do they expect to find?"
28849Rick explained briefly, then asked,"Got any bright ideas?"
28849Rick heard Brad call,"Find anyone?"
28849Rick, remember the tower?"
28849Rick?"
28849Right?"
28849Right?"
28849See any numbers?"
28849See the light on the tip?"
28849Stay and put Celia and their little girl in danger?
28849Suppose he had let a word drop that night about something being a little off the beam about Smugglers''Light?"
28849Suppose one of us had looked out the window?"
28849That ancient clunk of yours still running?"
28849That suit?"
28849The middle man on the platform leaned over and asked,"Who is representing Captain Tyler?"
28849Then what happens?
28849Then why did n''t you go all the way to the top?"
28849They followed him to a place where the crowd thinned out, then Rick asked,"What''s the matter, Cap''n?
28849Think Captain Tyler ran on the reef purposely?"
28849Think it will bear our weight?"
28849To bed to catch up on that sleep we missed?"
28849Tyler?"
28849Using it tonight?"
28849Want to come along, Dad?"
28849Want to come get it now?"
28849We warned you because we did n''t like you, see?
28849Well, how did it go?"
28849Well, what are we waiting for?
28849Well, what now?
28849Well, why ca n''t one of the other guys cover it?
28849Were they away off the beam on their guesses about the Kelsos and the_ Albatross_?
28849What are we waiting for?"
28849What d''you want?
28849What did you mean?"
28849What did you want in here?"
28849What do we do with''em?"
28849What do you make out of that?"
28849What do you suppose he dumped the scoop on us for?"
28849What do you think about that?"
28849What do you think?"
28849What had the old man said about ham actors a little while back?
28849What happens now?"
28849What if he really got scared?
28849What kind of pie, Mom?"
28849What kind?"
28849What say you come into my shack?
28849What say?"
28849What say?"
28849What time do they leave here, and what time do they get back?"
28849What would anyone think?
28849What''ll you bet Carrots does n''t go to the end of the pier?"
28849What''s a sniperscope?"
28849What''s the answer?"
28849What''s the matter?
28849What''s the one thing?"
28849What''s your guess on that?"
28849What''s your plan?"
28849When do you want it?"
28849Where did you see the marks?"
28849Where is he?"
28849Where to?"
28849Where''re you going?"
28849Where''s the reporter?"
28849Where?
28849Where?"
28849Who is it?"
28849Who is this boy?"
28849Who wants it?"
28849Who''s the fastest runner?"
28849Why did n''t the boat return?
28849Why did n''t you give the reporter''s name?"
28849Why do n''t you go get one of your Oat Operas to read and leave the mystery to me?"
28849Why do you suppose they crave privacy so much?"
28849Why not go into shore and fly over Creek House?
28849Why should we worry whether the Kelsos get caught for that as long as he''s cleared?
28849Why were they forcing them into the cellar?
28849Why would a trawler, loaded to the gunwales with menhaden, stop at the hotel before coming in to the fish wharves to unload?"
28849Why?"
28849Why?"
28849Why?"
28849Why?"
28849Witness to what?
28849Would it be heard when they turned it on?
28849You did n''t expect to get rich, did you?"
28849You do n''t give people credit for knowing much, do you?
28849You expect us to swallow a yarn like that?
28849You know what that would mean?
28849You thinking the same as I am?"
30187''Fingy,''where was you on the night of July third and early mornin''July fourth?
30187A foregone conclusion in whose mind, Professor?
30187A timing device, Mr. Hall? 30187 A tramp came around and--""A tramp, here?"
30187Am they any reply, Jedge?
30187An eighty- two- year- old man? 30187 And Schurman, Professor?"
30187And he said what, about the finger prints?
30187And that you are a member of the staff of your paper and not a local correspondent?
30187And the three men in the house were killed outright?
30187And the two other men, Professor?
30187And what will the District Attorney of New York County do about August Schurman''s murder? 30187 And where was you about two or three hours before that?"
30187And you ate a lotta food, did n''t you,''Fingy'', some seven or eight eggs on that job?
30187And you really think, do you Mr. Hall, that there was a timing device? 30187 Any news of the little boy, Professor?"
30187Anybody with you there during that time?
30187Are you sure she cleaned them properly?
30187Boyle had a story, but what policeman or jury would believe it? 30187 But was n''t he guarded?"
30187But,spoke up Stanislav Vasiliewski, quietly,"have we proof of his death?"
30187Did John tell you why?
30187Did anybody in Corbett''s know this bird, Boyle?
30187Did the man hurt you, Tommy?
30187Did the microscope and slides come, John?
30187Did you ever own one like it?
30187Did you ever see this before,''Fingy''?
30187Did you find anything?
30187Did you hear his alibi, Professor? 30187 Did you look in the patch of woods over there?"
30187Did you notice anybody on this street when you came, or before the explosion?
30187Did you see this, Mr. Hall? 30187 Did you squeal on Uncle Jack, Tommy?"
30187Do you recognize this?
30187Does that help you, Professor?
30187Does that seem too involved?
30187Does this properly belong to a telephone box of this type?
30187Ever the prying newspaperman, eh? 30187 Have you decided?"
30187He wo n''t let you what?
30187Herman Brierly?
30187How about the guards, chief? 30187 How did he get air during the night?"
30187How did it happen?
30187How is it there is no screen on the window? 30187 How long have you had the watch?"
30187How soon can you have a man or two down there?
30187How the hell do I know what it is? 30187 Howdje like to spend your vacation up there with Brierly at the paper''s expense?"
30187I asks myself what would I do with it? 30187 I mean that it was a foregone conclusion that if the suicide theory was exploded, these men would be charged with the crime?"
30187I ought to go, of course, but--"To New York?
30187I tole Pop you wo n''t let me peddle--''n when you learn me to swim''n dive will you let me peddle all alone by myself?
30187I? 30187 In five cases, Professor, within such a short time?"
30187Is it because someone is interested in seeing that Professor Brierly does not interfere in the affairs of Camp Higginbotham in the next few days?
30187Is that one of them?
30187Is that satisfactory?
30187Is there any reason why we can not do this at once?
30187Is this true, Professor, at distances beyond which there are powder marks?
30187Is this true?
30187Jimmy, your vacation begins next week, does n''t it?
30187John, I asked you, what is the matter with your hand?
30187Just what do you gentlemen fear?
30187Just what or whom do you suspect, Mac?
30187Just what, if anything, do you suspect?
30187Know him?
30187Listen, young feller, we was ordered to bring him in, see? 30187 Mrs. Horsnall,"asked Professor Brierly,"who cleans these rooms?"
30187My God, when will this end?
30187Negative evidence is often very important, is it not? 30187 No, but I should like to be here when you examine him, if you do n''t mind?"
30187None at all, Professor, but do you mind telling me what you want a gun like this for?
30187Not much question about Wrigley, the man who was found in the water at Bradley Beach, is there? 30187 Oh, so you heard about this Tontine insurance, did you?"
30187Oh, yeah, is that all?
30187Oh, yes, I''m Boyle all right, what of it? 30187 Oh, yes?"
30187One number?
30187Perhaps an hour, Jimmy, why do you ask?
30187Professor, as that rock is situated now, what would happen if it came down? 30187 Professor,"asked Jimmy,"could n''t two artificial sets of teeth be alike?"
30187Repairs, how do you mean?
30187Running water, Brasher?
30187So what do I do? 30187 Sure, I owned dozens, what of it?"
30187That little job, o''yours four years ago in Rye,''Fingy''you was n''t framed on that was you?
30187That''s right, but this obviously comes from an upper room, does n''t it?
30187The apple?
30187The night of July third? 30187 These mouthpieces have their little ways, have n''t they?
30187Thinking that I am getting into my dotage, young man? 30187 This bunch had an annual reunion on the Fourth of July, a gesture to show the real patriotism of Southerners--""What do you mean''gesture''?
30187Was there water in the gully, Brasher?
30187Well, Professor, you could not save us from this could you?
30187Well, Thomas, can you swim as well as Uncle John?
30187Well, perhaps not, Professor, but what else is there?
30187Well, what was he sore about?
30187Were you up to Pleasantville, Professor?
30187What about the watch, Professor? 30187 What better instrument than Amos Brown?
30187What can there be in the meeting of a number of prosy old men, Jimmy, that brings a star reporter all the way up here? 30187 What did he do, chief?"
30187What did he do? 30187 What do you mean by saying that these two men were arrested charged with those murders?"
30187What do you mean, do I recognize it?
30187What do you mean, my vacation at the paper''s expense? 30187 What do you say about, Boyle, Professor?"
30187What do you think of it, Professor?
30187What do you think of this, Professor?
30187What do you want me to do, Chief?
30187What dread horror does this mysterious''14''impose that will impel five such men out of twenty- one to commit suicide? 30187 What is it?"
30187What is there difficult about that? 30187 What is this, what is this, what is this abominable disturbance?"
30187What of it? 30187 What of it?"
30187What the hell is this? 30187 What will you do about this, Professor?"
30187What''s he under arrest for?
30187What''s that? 30187 What?
30187When did she clean these rooms last?
30187Where are_ you_ going, John?
30187Where is the coat and shirt that were torn on the nail?
30187Where was this''speak,''Boyle?
30187Who all was there,''Fingy''?
30187Who takes care of these rooms, Mr. Brasher; I mean who cleans them?
30187Who the hell said I want you to do anything on your vacation? 30187 Who, Professor Brierly?
30187Who, Sergeant, who? 30187 Why did n''t you go, Professor?"
30187Why should they have selected that boy for kidnapping, if ransom was the object? 30187 Why, ai n''t this the apple with the teeth marks you found in Schurman''s refrigerator?
30187Will you recognize the boat if you see it again?
30187Would all of us brood on this, Professor? 30187 Would you say, Mr. Hite, that this bit of thread belongs inside a properly constructed telephone box?"
30187You had a note asking you to go to New York and meet the kidnappers and their representatives did n''t you?
30187You mean Tommy, Harry?
30187You mean, Professor,broke in McCall,"that a microscopic examination of the watch did n''t show those characteristics?"
30187You say it was about three minutes after they went into the house?
30187You say, Thomas, that he wo n''t let you peddle-- er-- paddle?
30187You suggest, Professor, you suggest-- can death be produced so that it looks like suicide?
30187You_ are_ an acute young man, Hale-- or, was I so obvious?
30187Zat so?
30187''Fingy''continued:"See this, Professor?
30187''Member that, Boyle?"
30187A rich, deep voice interrupted:"Mr. Hale, is n''t it?
30187About which phase of this entire matter are you gentlemen principally disturbed?"
30187After a brief interval the voice asked:"Are you there, sir?"
30187After blowing a series of small smoke rings, he asked:"You''re Professor Brierly, are n''t you?"
30187After the silence had lasted a painfully long time, Professor Brierly asked:"Anything wrong, Thomas?"
30187After their arrival Justice Higginbotham began without preamble:"What conclusions have you reached with reference to these murders, Professor?"
30187Ai n''t it a peach?"
30187Ai n''t that so, Sarge?"
30187And can you conceive a human pair of hands setting up two sets of teeth precisely alike?
30187And it ends there, does it?
30187And suppose I do follow the others?
30187And the kid might be hurt, see?"
30187And where was you goin''when you was picked up?"
30187Any news at the New York end?"
30187Anything I can do for you, Professor, while we''re waiting for a report?"
30187Are we children?
30187Are you certain that you have not permitted yourselves to brood on this''14''until it has become an obsession?"
30187Are you game?"
30187Bootlegging is easier than murder ai n''t it, Boyle?
30187Boyle?"
30187Brasher?"
30187Bring me some facts and I shall try to give you an opinion, an opinion that I may base on those facts, but, what do you know of the other men?"
30187But does a man have to be an Indian to read this correctly?"
30187But now that I have it, what am I going to do with it?"
30187But suppose again this innocent criminal happened to have an unshakable alibi?
30187But we got the man who bumped off Schurman, ai n''t we?"
30187But what of it?
30187But what of that?
30187But when a center receives the football and runs several hundred yards with it, the papers get hysterical--""A center, Professor?
30187Can it be arranged?"
30187Can we get shells like these at Hinkle''s?
30187Can you tell as much about it as you can about the rope and twine?"
30187Can you tell me where I can get one like this and shells like these?"
30187Could you persuade him to come down here to give us the benefit of his experience and advice?"
30187Did I say that I took back what I said about the man, responsible for these deaths not being subtle?
30187Did you say Flynn, chief?
30187Do n''t you know what Tontine insurance is?"
30187Do you know that he died by hanging?
30187Do you know that he died by hanging?
30187Do you know that he was drowned?
30187Do you know that he was drowned?
30187Do you know that he was not dead before he was hung?
30187Do you know that he was not dead before he was hung?
30187Does Boyle strike you like the kind of man who, if he murdered a man, would not have a more plausible story?
30187Does Jimmy know him personally?"
30187Early in the evening I get into a studd game on Second Avenue and go broke, see?
30187Eleven men waiting, waiting for-- what?
30187Finally twirling the plain gold band on her finger she said:"It can do no particular harm to wait a day or two, can it?
30187Flynn, murdered?
30187For that matter, do you know those men are dead?"
30187Go on, get out, what the hell you waitin''for?
30187Goldberg snapped:"What in the world are we afraid of?
30187Got any dope on that?"
30187Got it all?"
30187Hale?"
30187Have you the weapon with which this was done?"
30187He asked Professor Brierly:"What is it, Prof, is it me tonsils or me teeth?
30187He asked quietly:"What is this, Jack?
30187He asked:"Got him booked?"
30187He concluded by asking:"What are you going to do about this, Mr. Englehardt, and what are you going to do with''Fingy''Smith?"
30187He continued:"Do you see the dreadful possibilities in this thing?
30187He gulped painfully and after a glance at the police officer he went on:"All the police is after is a record, see?
30187He heard a faint clicking, then came Hite''s familiar growl:"Are you drunk, Jimmy?
30187He interrupted their spokesman:"What''s this about, what do you want Professor Brierly for?"
30187He nodded curtly to the others and said to Boyle:"What is it?"
30187He paused for a moment and asked, abruptly:"Is there any objection to my looking about the grounds?"
30187He poured water in it from the well and asked the old man:"Wo n''t there be complications, Professor?
30187He put two secret service men on the train with Flynn?
30187He said inanely:"Flynn, murdered?
30187He spoke to McCall:"Did we hear Flynn say that he told his comrades when he came here that he would have to leave on an important errand today?"
30187He turned to Professor Brierly:"What are you going to do, sir?"
30187Heard of that did you?"
30187Here he whispered excitedly:"Say, Mr. Hale, I think I know where the kid is?"
30187Hinkle carries everything, but,"belligerently,"what about your sayin''that Miller did n''t kill himself?"
30187Hite continued:"Your little tin god, Professor Herman Brierly, is spending the summer up in Canada, is n''t he?"
30187Hite?"
30187Hite?"
30187Hite?"
30187Horsnall?"
30187Horsnall?"
30187How could it keep like this?"
30187How did it happen?"
30187How near to a solution are you?"
30187How old is Thomas, Mrs. Van Orden?"
30187How was he murdered?
30187I did?
30187I done my bit, did n''t I?"
30187I get my pay during my two weeks''vacation, do n''t I?"
30187I''ll wake you when--""Do you mind, Professor, if I watch you-- if I watch you make your tests?"
30187If we do n''t know where the lighted fuse originated and where it led, it does n''t do us much good, does it?"
30187Is he always that way, Jimmy?"
30187Is that dubious?"
30187Is that his manner all the time, Hale?"
30187Is that it?"
30187Is that real or is it mythical?"
30187Is that right?"
30187Is that the program?"
30187It''s right near Lentone, Vermont Is that too much to ask?"
30187It--""Not from Tommy''s mouth?"
30187It--""Tontine?"
30187Jack interrupted:"You do n''t want trouble, do you?
30187Jimmy asked Matthews:"How long will this take, Jack?"
30187Just what is an American name?
30187Justice Higginbotham said:"You say, Mr. Hale, that you are up here to cover this reunion?"
30187Know what these birds were after, do n''t you?"
30187Looks like a burn that might have been made by a fuse, does it not?"
30187Marshall burst out:"Why did you go to New York, Professor?"
30187Matthews?"
30187McCall asked Brasher:"How long ago was this Yonkers job, Brasher?"
30187McCall''s shack, is n''t it?"
30187McCall?"
30187Me commit murder?
30187Miller?"
30187Norah stepped around the wheel house, asking:"What are you doing, Jack?"
30187Not much question about Wrigley, the man who was found in the water at Bradley Beach, is there?
30187Of the New York Eagle?"
30187One of the police officers asked quietly, holding out his hand:"Are you armed, sir?"
30187Or are n''t we exaggerating the danger?"
30187Professor Brierly asked the trooper:"Where was the driver of the taxi, when this happened?"
30187Professor Brierly finished her sentence:"Or notify the authorities?"
30187Professor Brierly snapped at him:"Are you trying to be funny, young man?
30187Professor Brierly took from his pocket an object that he showed to Conners:"Do you recognize this, Sergeant?"
30187Rather lucky for you, you were not alone, eh Professor?
30187Remember the apple?
30187Seeing the little scientist seated, Hite growled:"Well?"
30187Several hundred yards?"
30187Smith?"
30187Tell Hite, if he calls, that I''ll file a full story, will you?"
30187Tell me, was there a boxwood hedge, a collie, running water, a sorrel horse, a pear tree?"
30187That all, Jim?"
30187That all?"
30187That is the thing you all desire, is it not?"
30187The old man touched the hand gently:"What happened, John?"
30187The phrase rang in his mind:"And the kid might be hurt, see?"
30187Then what?
30187There are mosquitoes around here, are there not?"
30187This is at Mr. McCall''s camp, is it not?"
30187Understand?"
30187Want to ask him some questions?"
30187We must not do anything to-- to-- anger them must we?
30187We''ll give the jury your record, see?
30187What I want to know is why-- why this?"
30187What brings the representative of the press here?"
30187What business was you talkin''to him about, Boyle?"
30187What could possibly happen up there that would take too much of his time?
30187What do you think of that?"
30187What is it?"
30187What is it?"
30187What is there, aside from the insurance, that has held this group together for sixty- five years?"
30187What is this?"
30187What kind of watch is it, a wrist watch or a pocket watch?"
30187What need is there for you to go?"
30187What of it?"
30187What right have we to question that?"
30187What the hell do you want to spoil my vacation for?"
30187What time did your friends come to the party?"
30187What you got to say about that?"
30187What''s it all about?"
30187What''s it all about?"
30187When do you plan to go there, Jimmy?"
30187When they were free of the crowd of newspaper men, Jimmy asked:"Did the police tell you, Professor, what the additional bit of evidence was?"
30187When''s the home going to bed?"
30187Where did you find it?"
30187Where do we go from here?"
30187Where the hell were you?
30187Where the hell were you?"
30187Where was you that night Boyle?"
30187Where''s Mummie?
30187Where''s Pop?"
30187Who could have taken that bite?
30187Who is that?
30187Who''s on the story, you or I?
30187Why did I not think of it?
30187Why did they make that futile gesture with the tooth?"
30187Why do you say that?"
30187Why he--""What the hell is the matter with you, are you drunk?
30187Why in the name of common sense New York?
30187Will he object to riding in a plane?"
30187Will that help, Professor?"
30187Will your man stop here for me on the way down?"
30187With an air of obviously false bravado he exclaimed:"What the hell is there to be afraid of?
30187Wo n''t you tell us about it?"
30187Would you mind asking this Boyle when he had this watch cleaned last?"
30187You got in like the police said and you opened the safe like they said too, did n''t you?"
30187You know where that is?"
30187You say you have installed the photo- electric cell?
30187You see, do n''t you, the thin line of demarcation that lies between truth and falsehood?
30187You used to be a lineman did n''t you, Boyle?"
30187You walk away with-- by the way, Boyle, what business are you in now?"
30187You''re staying here the rest of the summer are n''t you?"
30187Your bedding is-- now what kind of prank is that?
30187an idiot and get away with it?
28504''Twas you, then, down by the shore?
28504All alone?
28504And did he say anything about getting out the night before?
28504And what makes your dress so wet? 28504 And who gets the money?"
28504Are those oars in her, Dan?
28504Are you sure you do?
28504Are you there, William?
28504Arms ache?
28504Augustus, do you hear? 28504 Because, how''d I know they would n''t forget some time and go ahead and really scalp me?
28504But how could we get him away from here?
28504But say,he added quickly,"come around in front of the house and make all the racket you can, will you?
28504But what can it possibly accomplish?
28504But would n''t it have been better to ask?
28504Ca n''t old Mother Thornton give it to you?
28504Ca n''t you see it is?
28504Ca n''t you take a joke?
28504Can you swim?
28504Canooering''s good fer the appertite, ai n''t it? 28504 Come from the city, eh?
28504Come on, George, will you? 28504 Come on, Jack?"
28504Comin''out, ai n''t yer?
28504Did he?
28504Did n''t I say I''d get you in all right? 28504 Did n''t you feel kind of as though it was wrong, eating something you had no right to take?"
28504Did n''t you hear old Ellison say everything was''all right''?
28504Did n''t you know better than to try to eat poor old Grasshopper Green? 28504 Did you get hooked?"
28504Did you see old Ellison slip once and go into the bog?
28504Do n''t stare that way-- haven''t you any wit? 28504 Do n''t you know that it''s little powder and lots of wadding that makes her speak?
28504Do n''t you know?
28504Do n''t you want us to raise the velocipede, so you can ride some more?
28504Do you know what''s fun? 28504 Do you see?
28504Do you see?
28504Does Ellison keep any dog?
28504Eh, what''s that?
28504Eh, what''s that?
28504From the pool, do you say? 28504 Give us one of those pumpkins?"
28504Go back the way we came?
28504Going home from school?
28504Going on the pond?
28504Going to put it up on the flag- pole, eh Tim? 28504 Going to tell on us?"
28504Going to try it?
28504Gran''she said, peeping in at the door,"will we ever get it again, s''pose?"
28504Great, is n''t it?
28504Guess that''s pretty near as exciting as cruising in Samoset bay, is n''t it?
28504Guess we''ll turn in, eh?
28504Had n''t you better tie it some way?
28504Have a plunge?
28504Have him arrested?
28504Have you been to school?
28504Have you got it?
28504He''ll not be here to- night, with this storm keeping up,answered Henry Burns,"Where is he?"
28504Hello, Tim,said his captor, good naturedly,"going to join the circus?"
28504Hello, Tim,she called,"what''s the matter?
28504Hello,he called,"want to go out for a sail?
28504Ho, you mean the''Last of the Mohicans,''--the book I told you about, eh?
28504Honest?
28504How can I tell, if you wo n''t let me go out?
28504How could that be? 28504 How long have you known her?"
28504How many miles to Mill Stream by the way of Dark Stream?
28504How was that for a dive?
28504How''d you know you could go through there, anyway?
28504How''d you know''twas a pickerel?
28504I say, Tim, what''s up, anyway?
28504I''d like to have seen you-- that a new dress?
28504I''ve seen''em do it, have n''t you, Jack?
28504In the safe, or around the machinery-- where- abouts?
28504Is he hiding anything?
28504Is n''t everything pretty, all covered with snow? 28504 Is n''t she sweet?"
28504Is n''t that oatmeal most ready, Bess?
28504Is n''t that rich? 28504 Is n''t what pretty?"
28504Is that all?
28504Is that you, Dan?
28504It''s eight dollars and eighty- seven cents-- marked down-- they always are, ai n''t they? 28504 It''s tough,"he said, and added, doubtfully,"How about that week up at the pond?
28504Lame any?
28504Let me try just a minute, will you?
28504Let the boys go after it''s done? 28504 Like to have me tend that sheet for you?"
28504Looks great, does n''t it?
28504No, you''re the one that was going,responded Henry Burns;"you could go if the work were done, could n''t you?"
28504No?
28504Not scared of him, are you?
28504Not scared of the water, are you?
28504Now are you putting it all down? 28504 Now can you shin that pole?"
28504Now where''s the fiddle- bow, John?
28504Oh, do n''t you know old Farmer Ellison? 28504 Old Ellison?"
28504Poor gran'',said Bess to Mrs. Ellison, half timidly,"what will become of her now?"
28504Pretty early to start the Fourth, is n''t it?
28504Reef her? 28504 Say, Henry,"asked George Warren, as they started off up the hill again,"what did you see in there, anyway?
28504Say, do you know Tim Reardon?
28504Say, pa, is it time to get up now?
28504Say, wake me up with a good, hard punch, will you, Henry? 28504 Say, what''s her name?"
28504Say, what''s the matter? 28504 Say, would n''t you like to see that tiger eat up a keeper?"
28504Say,asked the girl,"what''s Witham mad with those boys about?
28504Say,he asked,"what did Old Witham want?"
28504Say,he said, cramming a spoonful of the mess into his mouth, and gulping it with huge satisfaction,"can Tim come in?
28504Say-- er-- Jack, what do you think of that?
28504Seems to like the looks of her, do n''t he?
28504Seen Jack?
28504Shall we go, or stick it out?
28504Shall we show mercy to the slayer of the brave Uncas? 28504 She might not like to have us-- and I would n''t know what to say, would you?"
28504So you want your fortune told, do you?
28504Sounds as though there was money in it, do n''t it? 28504 Take that dress and give it to a girl?"
28504Tell, will he?
28504That''s it; what did I tell you?
28504That''s the fiddle- string, eh Jack?
28504That''s what I''ve come to tell you,said the child,"though I''d catch it from Witham if he knew-- and old Ellison, would n''t he be mad?"
28504The curls?
28504The proprietor, you say? 28504 There_ are_ some other papers, do n''t you suppose?
28504They''ll take us in there, wo n''t they?
28504Think there''s water enough to float us?
28504Want another?
28504Want to drag me down the road?
28504Warming up a bit, is n''t it, Jack?
28504Was n''t it Ellison''s?
28504We did plan for a week at Old Whitecap, did n''t we? 28504 We''ve made a horse- fiddle before now, have n''t we?
28504Well now, what do you make of that?
28504Well, Henry, what do you say?
28504Well, now I reckon you would n''t believe I used to be the crack velocipede rider in the town I came from, eh?
28504Well, what do you want me to do about it?
28504Well, what is it?
28504Well, what is it?
28504Well, what now?
28504Well, what of it-- what is it?
28504Well, what of it?
28504Well, who''s going to win, Tim?
28504Well, why did n''t you bring a dynamite bomb and touch that off when you arrived? 28504 Well,"he exclaimed,"you''re here, eh?
28504Well,said Bess Thornton,"tell him you saw me dive from the tree, will you?
28504Well,suggested Henry Burns,"why not ask Witham about it?"
28504Well?
28504Well?
28504What are they going to do, Tim?
28504What are we going to do with him, anyway, now we''ve got him?
28504What are you doing?
28504What are you going to do with it?
28504What are you going to do with that old thing?
28504What are you looking for?
28504What are you two doing here?
28504What are you two doing? 28504 What did Witham want?"
28504What did you do in there?
28504What do you care whether Bess is lost or not?
28504What do you mean?
28504What do you say to a bite to eat?
28504What do you say? 28504 What do you say?"
28504What do you want here, Henry Burns?
28504What do you want here, anyway?
28504What do you want? 28504 What else do you see?"
28504What for?
28504What have you been up to?
28504What is it?
28504What kind of a place is this we''ve got into? 28504 What made you take the fish?"
28504What makes you so long?
28504What new monkey- shine of yours is this? 28504 What say you, men, shall we cast the lot to see who takes the scalp of Magua, the great chief of the Hurons?"
28504What shall we do with our captive?
28504What was you saying about Grand Island, Jack?
28504What would we do with him if we got him?
28504What''ll we do with him?
28504What''ll we do, Henry?
28504What''ll we do?
28504What''ll you bet?
28504What''s that noise? 28504 What''s that you say?
28504What''s that you''re cooking, child?
28504What''s that-- eh, do you think so?
28504What''s that?
28504What''s the matter?
28504What''s the matter?
28504What''s the matter?
28504What''s the matter?
28504What?
28504Where are they?
28504Where did you catch''em? 28504 Where did you get that?"
28504Where was it-- about a mile above your house?
28504Where was it?
28504Where''d you come from?
28504Where''d you get so much?
28504Where''ll we go?
28504Where''s the rest of the crew?
28504Who is?
28504Who told you it was your fish?
28504Who''d ever have thought it?
28504Who''s ahead? 28504 Whom does she belong to?"
28504Whose is she, then, if she''s not yours?
28504Why did n''t you bring him along?
28504Why did n''t you knock at the door? 28504 Why do n''t she come?
28504Why do n''t you come, anyway?
28504Why do n''t you ever come in, when you come for the milk? 28504 Why do n''t you give her back?
28504Why do n''t you go out on the logs?
28504Why do n''t you put a tack in the road?
28504Why not now?
28504Why not?
28504Why, did n''t you know about it? 28504 Why, did you use to ride a wheel?"
28504Why, hello, Tim,she said, surprised;"what are you doing?"
28504Why, she spoiled hers, showing us how to come through that sluice, did n''t she?
28504Why, what business is it of yours, what he wanted?
28504Why, you do n''t suppose I''m going to row her, do you?
28504Why? 28504 Will I have to go to prison, do you think?"
28504Will you go, fellows?
28504Willie,he added,"do you know any of those boys out there to- night?"
28504Witham does n''t say come back, does he?
28504Yes, who is she?
28504Yes, yes, but where?
28504Yes,he replied,"and there was something queer about that, too, was n''t there?
28504Yes; can I get up now? 28504 Yes; come along?"
28504You are n''t anxious to row, are you?
28504You do n''t mind being thought pretty comfortably fixed, eh-- all these properties put in your name? 28504 You keep away from the water, do you hear?"
28504You like''em, do n''t you, gran''?
28504You take the hook out, will you, Tim?
28504You will tell tales, will you?
28504You''re sure you do n''t think it looks like me?
28504A chorus of three young voices greeted him:"Hello, Colonel Witham, been having your fortune told?
28504All right, eh?
28504And as Colonel Witham groped here and there, in dusty corners, he muttered,"What on earth did he mean?
28504And he added, heartlessly,"You ca n''t live much longer; do n''t you know that?"
28504And see here, do n''t go up on the hill again, do you hear?
28504And supposing the worst should happen and he catch us all in there, what could he do?
28504And when you wear a new dress they always say things, do n''t you know?
28504And who do you suppose is on watch up near the Half Way House, to let us know if Witham comes out?
28504Any of the snakes got loose?
28504Anybody after you?
28504Are n''t you smart, too?
28504Bangs?"
28504Benny will help me through the week, all right, wo n''t you, Benny?"
28504Bet he''s sound asleep-- what do you say?"
28504But see here, youngster"--and he gave a twist to Tim''s wrist--"you''ve got to get it down, do you understand?"
28504But there''s only one--""What?"
28504But who''d ever thought we''d have such tough luck as to run across Col. Witham up here, and a night like this?
28504But you know em, eh?"
28504Ca n''t I keep it?
28504Calc''late to do it in one day?"
28504Can you go?"
28504Can you see?"
28504Can you write?
28504Come along with us?"
28504Come in now and have some supper with the boys?"
28504Come in with me?"
28504Coming along, Tim?"
28504Did Colonel Witham recall that?
28504Did n''t I bring you up better''n that?
28504Did n''t he make us stand around, aboard the_ Surprise_?"
28504Did n''t yer get satisfaction enough out of bringing bad luck to me in one place, and now you come bringing it here?
28504Did n''t you feel like choking-- eating stolen trout, eh?"
28504Did you fall in?"
28504Do n''t it smell go- o- od?
28504Do n''t tell me you caught any?"
28504Do n''t that fire feel good?"
28504Do n''t yer know that''s stealing?
28504Do n''t you ever let on,''he says-- and I like to died-- hello, who''s that coming?"
28504Do n''t you know I was elected commodore of the Green Pond Fishing Club only two weeks ago?"
28504Do n''t you know I wo n''t have any Henry Burnses and Jack Harveys, nor any of the rest of you, around my hotel?
28504Do n''t you know that coin meant luck for you, girl?
28504Do n''t you?"
28504Do you smell''em?"
28504Do you suppose Spencer was right after all?"
28504Does the mill go, too?"
28504Ever been on the water before, boys?"
28504Ever tickle a trout?"
28504Forgotten how?
28504Goin''round to Benton, you say?
28504Going to wake up Colonel Witham-- and Ellison?"
28504Gran''said--""What''s that?
28504Had he been fooled?
28504Had he gotten out of the way, thus hurriedly, to see what turn James Ellison''s affairs might take?
28504Had he hopes that the deeds he knew of might by some chance not be found?
28504Hanged if we want a man overboard a night like this, eh, Mister Burns?"
28504Have a pipe?"
28504Have n''t I heard him say so, and shake his old cane at Benton?
28504Have you got them?
28504He killed Un- cuss, did n''t he, Henry?"
28504He was only hunting for some papers that somebody had hidden--""What''s that-- tell me about that?"
28504He went out of town, you say, the day Mr. Ellison died?"
28504Hello, who''s this coming?"
28504Henry, where in this old mud- hole shall we go?
28504Here''s the deeds conveying it all to you-- for valuable consideration-- valuable consideration, see?"
28504How about you, Tim?"
28504How can you expect to find anything?
28504How do you manage to do it?"
28504How do you suppose she knew that?"
28504How far do you call it to the brook that leads over into Dark Stream?"
28504How''d you get here, anyway?
28504How''d you know?"
28504How''d you like to have your fortunes told?
28504How''s the dress?"
28504I keep them hidden-- up my sleeve-- clear up my sleeve, do n''t I?"
28504I like people that give away things once in a while, do n''t you?"
28504I suppose you know, do n''t you?"
28504I was going to, though, till gran''said what she did--""Then you have n''t had anything to eat to- day?"
28504I''ll never go back, if it takes a week-- that is, if you''re game?"
28504I''m getting nervous about things-- and who would n''t?
28504I''m watching for the canoes-- don''t you know about it?
28504In all these dealings, is n''t there something to be made?''
28504Is it not so, men?"
28504Is n''t it pretty?"
28504Is n''t that so, my lads?"
28504It looks like a real nice place, do n''t it, Jack?"
28504It''s easy, though, is n''t it, Tim?"
28504It''s the Fourth of July the minute the clock strikes twelve-- and, cracky, wo n''t we make a racket then?
28504Let her go to the poorhouse, will you?"
28504Let me see, are they papers?
28504Like to see it?"
28504My, but you always have the luck, do n''t you?
28504Never mind the cow?
28504None of your pranks now; what did you find?"
28504Oh dear, is n''t it awful?
28504Oh, what can it mean?"
28504People look at the record, and what do they see?
28504Put poor old Bennie on his back, did you, Bess?
28504Remember I told you we caught Witham coming out of the tent?
28504Remember how we''ve seen his light there night after night?"
28504Remember the night we told you of?"
28504Say, boy, do you suppose they''ve got shelter?
28504Say, come on in with me to- morrow, will you?
28504Say, what do you think of that?"
28504Say, what''s the matter with you?
28504Say, where''d you find it?
28504Say, who are they, anyway?"
28504Scoutin''is it ye''ll be doin?
28504See its tail- feathers?"
28504See that tree way up along shore there, the one that hangs out over the water?
28504See?"
28504Shall we be women and let him go, to roam the forests and ravage the homes of our settlers, or shall he be put to death?"
28504Should a wild night drive him out of his own mill-- when the law could n''t?
28504Splendid day for a sail, eh, Captain Coombs?"
28504Stealing my trout, eh?
28504Suppose he''s fallen in love?"
28504Tell us what the witch said, will you, colonel?"
28504The fortune- teller-- how could he know of that?
28504Then espying the other canoe coming up, she called,"Hello, you back again?
28504Then he asked, huskily,"What was it you found?
28504There was no breeze stirring the alders; but one single alder stick-- was not it waving back and forth most mysteriously?
28504They look like papers, but it is vague--""And where are they hidden?"
28504Tim Reardon, you keep away from here, do you understand?"
28504Want to hunt any more?"
28504Want to stay over night, you say?
28504Was that a foot- fall on some floor above?
28504Was there any chance?
28504Water enough?
28504We do n''t want to be wrecked before we start,--eh, Henry?"
28504We''d take a chance, eh, Henry?"
28504We''ll hold some of our advantage, eh, Jack?"
28504We''ll take some spray in over the bows beating back--""What''s that?"
28504Well, we''ll go through all right-- but what about Witham?"
28504Well, what do I get out of that?
28504What are you afraid of?
28504What could it all mean?
28504What d''ye want?"
28504What did it?"
28504What did they say, Henry, when you told them?"
28504What did you want me to keep away for?"
28504What do you mean by going and being so bad, just''cause I''m crippled and ca n''t look after yer?
28504What do you mean by going into that drawer?
28504What do you say-- rested enough?"
28504What do you say?
28504What do you think you''re doing?"
28504What do you want to do, go back to the station, or keep on?"
28504What do you want?"
28504What do you want?"
28504What have you got there?"
28504What is it they tell?
28504What makes you act so queer, gran''?"
28504What more do you want?
28504What of it?"
28504What on earth could that be, and how had it come there?
28504What on earth''s got loose?
28504What put it into your head?
28504What put it into your head?"
28504What say, shall we go in?"
28504What should bring Colonel Witham, night after night, to the old mill, where he had hunted long and fruitlessly?
28504What was that, moving to and fro amid the alder clumps by the border of the trout pool?
28504What was that?
28504What was the danger?
28504What''ll we do, John?
28504What''s he''fraid of?"
28504What''s that?
28504What''s the matter with working up to that, hanging on it till we get rested, and then make one quick push up over the top?"
28504What''s the matter?"
28504Where are you going-- canoeing?"
28504Where do you suppose it came from?
28504Where''d you come from so early?"
28504Where''d you see me?"
28504Where''ll she go when you die, if you do n''t?
28504Who would n''t be queer, living all alone with old Granny Thornton?"
28504Who--?"
28504Whoever heard of catching fish in trees?
28504Why did he send''em out of the hotel the other night?"
28504Why do n''t you take somebody along, to help?
28504Why do you keep her here?"
28504Why, what''s the matter?
28504Why, you young rascals, do n''t you know I could have you all arrested as burglars?"
28504Will you ever stop talking?"
28504Would n''t I go along?"
28504Would n''t Tom Harris and Bob White laugh to see us poking back by train, instead of making the trip?"
28504Would they be able to make the flight across?
28504Would you grow up to be a thief, child?"
28504Yes, that''ll stop her tipping, wo n''t it?
28504You get that down and I''ll give you a quarter-- twenty- five cents, do you hear?"
28504You going?"
28504You try for it while I''m gone, wo n''t you, Tim?"
28504You would, would n''t you?"
28504You''ll oblige, of course, for the same consideration?"
28504Your deeds from me are all recorded, eh?
28504bawled Harvey, seizing the wheel and giving it several vigorous turns,"keep her off, did you say, skipper?
28504can you do it?"
28504exclaimed Young Joe;"who''s going to shin that pole?
28504exclaimed the colonel, opening the note, and dampening it much in doing so,"Jim Ellison, eh?
28504inquired Mr. Bangs,"Think they''ll care if I go ahead and cook up a chowder?
28504said Harvey,"got enough?"
28504was n''t he mad?
28504what''s this?
2371''And did he die in that bed?'' 2371 ''Where''s Samba?''
2371After every effort?
2371After opening and closing it?
2371And Miss Tuttle shrieked at seeing a police officer?
2371And Miss Tuttle? 2371 And Miss Tuttle?"
2371And Miss Tuttle?
2371And a welcome one, eh?
2371And at right angles to the door leading into the hall?
2371And did matters seem to improve after that? 2371 And did no one go up?
2371And did she speak at all?
2371And did you find any one in the old house?
2371And did you find the note where she said?
2371And finding the only key, as you supposed, gone, you flew to the Moore house?
2371And how can you suppose me to be in a position to prove that? 2371 And how sure are you that he did not get this jewel back?"
2371And it was while you were inside, instead of outside, that you heard the shot?
2371And like this?
2371And now what else?
2371And on what night?
2371And saw her then for the first time?
2371And she said she had been around the block?
2371And the police have been equally unsuccessful?
2371And this Pfeiffer was contracted to her? 2371 And to save that reputation you tied the pistol to her wrist?"
2371And to whom did he first mention his errand?
2371And to whom is the guilt of this crime ascribed?
2371And what did she do there?
2371And what did she do with this book?
2371And what did you see in the future?
2371And what was that?
2371And who was this person?
2371And why did you stop?
2371And you are sure this small ball was among them?
2371And you believed what was told you?
2371And you found this book called COMPENSATION in your room upstairs?
2371And you never suspected?
2371And you went in?
2371Anything new?
2371Are they there? 2371 Are you not yet satisfied with what we have been able to tell you of my poor wife''s unhappy end?"
2371Are you ready?
2371Are you speaking of the Moore house?
2371Are you the boy who ran away from the florist''s in Washington?
2371Are you willing to state what words?
2371At night and with no gas in the house? 2371 At the ambassador''s ball?"
2371Before leaving the southwest chamber?
2371Believed it well enough to keep a watch on your young mistress to see if she were happy or not?
2371Believed?
2371But something was said by you and some answer was made by him?
2371But what do you mean about finding something in the wall behind that old picture? 2371 But why have I told you all this nonsense?"
2371But you did not enter the library?
2371But you saw the light?
2371But your sister did?
2371By anything that passed between you?
2371By herself, then?
2371By whom was it dragged? 2371 Can it be that my niece has been frightened to death in that old place?
2371Can not you say definitely?
2371Can not you translate that French for us?
2371Can you live directly opposite a place of such remarkable associations and not interest yourself in who goes in and out of its deserted doors?
2371Can you remember your state of mind?
2371Change toward his wife?
2371Did I say unhappily?
2371Did he ever frown on her?
2371Did he wear his badge in plain view?
2371Did she know that Mr. Jeffrey had visited you earlier in the day? 2371 Did she say anything?"
2371Did she take the book away?
2371Did she talk much about the catastrophe which attended her wedding? 2371 Did you enter the library on your solitary visit to this old house?"
2371Did you exchange any words?
2371Did you know that the house had two keys?
2371Did you let her in?
2371Did you meet any one there?
2371Did you see any one else take them up?
2371Did you see those candles?
2371Did you see whether she put anything into the book?
2371Did you take such a book out?
2371Did you take up those rings?
2371Did you think I was going to discharge it?
2371Do n''t you know?
2371Do you blame me for this? 2371 Do you know the name of that boy?"
2371Do you see those?
2371Do you suffer so from drafts?
2371Do you suppose that I would intrust a secret, for the preservation of which I was ready to risk life and honor, to the open pages of a book? 2371 Do you wish to share my fate?
2371Do you wonder that I long to know who they are and what their story is and whom they meant by''the erring one?''
2371Does it include you?
2371Does not her action show it?
2371Does that include Durbin?
2371Does this bed- room of which you speak communicate with the hall as well as with the sitting room?
2371Dressed this way?
2371Fatal?
2371Fine turnout?
2371For what purpose, Miss Tuttle?
2371Has he acknowledged this?
2371Has she run upon a ghost in those dismal apartments? 2371 Have you any special business with me?"
2371Have you any stated hour for doing this?
2371Have you that knot with you?
2371His name? 2371 How came you to search here for the wife who had written you this vague and far from satisfactory farewell?
2371How can you prove this to us?
2371How did she look and act that first day?
2371How did you carry them?
2371How do you account for that spot and the slight injury made to her finger? 2371 How else?"
2371How long had he been gone?
2371How long have you been in Washington, I should like to ask?
2371How long have you been in this house?
2371How?
2371I may not be home till late-- What are you looking at?
2371I seem to know them, do you?
2371I?
2371In English?
2371In criticism of her conduct?
2371In the upper drawer of a certain bureau?
2371In what room did you say this pistol was kept?
2371Is Rudge the dog to do that,I asked,"if his master were not there?
2371Is he in the habit of remaining out late?
2371Is it any better for the second and longer interview between you the next day?
2371Is it so unmistakably evident that Mr. Jeffrey did not get to the Moore house in time to do the shooting himself?
2371Is it the room Mrs. Jeffrey used to occupy?
2371Is that all you have to say concerning this important visit, the last you held with your sister before her death?
2371Is this it?
2371Is this the book?
2371Is this the only book with a cover of this kind in the house?
2371Is this your final reply on this subject?
2371It was Mrs. Jeffrey, then, who clung most determinedly to her sister?
2371It was you?
2371Just at sight of him?
2371Like this one?
2371May I ask you to tell us what passed between you on this point?
2371Miss Tuttle lived in the house with her sister, did she not?
2371Miss Tuttle? 2371 Miss Tuttle?"
2371Mr. Jeffrey was not with her?
2371Mr. Jeffrey, in the talk you had with your wife on Tuesday morning was Miss Tuttle''s name introduced?
2371Mrs. Jeffrey''s sister? 2371 Must she stay here?"
2371NoHad he been at the Moore house on the night of the eleventh at any time previous to the hour when he was brought there by the officials?
2371NoHad he met her there by any appointment he had made with her or which had been made for them both by some third person?
2371No? 2371 No?
2371Not at home? 2371 Not when you looked at the old picture?"
2371Nothing more? 2371 Now, Miss Tuttle, will you tell us why you went to that drawer-- if you did go to that drawer-- immediately after Mrs. Jeffrey left the house?"
2371Oh, then, Miss Tuttle is gone?
2371On the book- shelf?
2371Shall we go upstairs?
2371She asked if Mr. Jeffrey had come in"Anything else?
2371She has shot herself? 2371 She never seemed to notice but""But--?"
2371She?
2371Sick?
2371So that you knew him to be a police officer?
2371Something that showed an unsettled mind?
2371That it was kept in their apartment?
2371That our belief may become certainty, will you let us know, the instant you recall the name of the man you talked with at the cemetery gate? 2371 The Moore house?"
2371The boy who delivered Miss Moore''s bridal bouquet?
2371The conversation, then, was about your wife?
2371The cover? 2371 The house in Waverley Avenue?"
2371The old picture? 2371 The same I used upstairs, of course""And you can not remember where you left this candle and candelabrum when you finally quitted the house?"
2371Then it is still in that room?
2371Then what are your reasons for this belief?
2371Then you can not aid her?
2371Then you did enter the house?
2371Then you had no knowledge of the contract she had entered into while a school- girl?
2371They are many"Will you state them?
2371To what am I indebted for this second visit from you?
2371Unhappily?
2371Unseated by the mishap occurring at her marriage?
2371Was Mr. Jeffrey in the house?
2371Was it?
2371Was she as clever as I said?
2371Was this wound which you characterize as minute a recent one?
2371Well, what now?
2371Well?
2371Were you at home when she left her husband''s house?
2371Were you not in the Congressional Library looking up at the lunettes and gorgeously painted walls?
2371Were you there when she first came as a bride from the Moore house?
2371What are you doing?
2371What can you tell us about the interview you had with you sister prior to her going out on the night of her death?
2371What candle and what candelabrum?
2371What color of book?
2371What did he do, Loretta?
2371What did she do?
2371What did she say?
2371What did you do there?
2371What did you do?
2371What did you imagine that you had found?
2371What do you mean by that, Loretta; that he lost patience with her when other people were present-- Miss Tuttle, for instance?
2371What do you mean, Jinny?
2371What has happened to my niece?
2371What has she been keeping back?
2371What have you to say to me?
2371What ladies?
2371What light did you use?
2371What other?
2371What snarl is here?
2371What time was this?
2371What was the date of the evening on which he told you he had placed money in bank for you?
2371What were you thinking about?
2371When are these early- morning trespasses upon an honest citizen''s property coming to an end? 2371 When did these advertisements appear?"
2371When did you see your sister last?
2371When is this to cease?
2371When was this visit paid, Mr. Jeffrey? 2371 Where did you find that?"
2371Where did you get the one you have? 2371 Where does this book- shelf stand?"
2371Where?
2371Which he did?
2371Who are you?
2371Who was the man who collected and carried out those things from the southwest chamber?
2371Whom are you talking about?
2371Whom can you possibly mean by she?
2371Whom do you mean by` little friend''and what is her name?
2371Whose word have you for that? 2371 Why did n''t I tell Cora; why did n''t I tell you?
2371Why did n''t he tell us this before?
2371Why did n''t you follow the man?
2371Why did you go there?
2371Why do you do that?
2371Why do you keep your own counsel so long? 2371 Why do you say, unhappily?"
2371Why should I? 2371 Why, if your wife''s death caused you such intense grief, did you appear so relieved at receiving this by no means consoling explanation?"
2371Why?
2371Will you give us the name of this novel?
2371Will you pardon me if I put it now as a question? 2371 Will you read aloud these words for our benefit?"
2371Will you show it to the jury?
2371With recrimination or any display of passion on the part of your wife?
2371Yes, sir"Did she say anything else?
2371Yes; half- past nine"And was this the hour when you caw that light?
2371Yet these sisters spent but little time together?
2371Yet you went over to the table?
2371You acknowledge that?
2371You are a Moore and live in or near that old house?
2371You are right; but why should n''t it include you?
2371You are sure?
2371You can not give us any phrase or word that was uttered there?
2371You can say if she left alone or in the company of her husband?
2371You did love your wife, then? 2371 You did not remain before these book- shelves long?"
2371You did not see them?
2371You do?
2371You entered by the front door, then?
2371You really think that?
2371You recognize him positively?
2371You recognize it?
2371You refer to Miss Tuttle?
2371You think that an odd thing for me to do?
2371You, however, read the papers next morning?
2371Your mother your sister?
2371''Have I not said?''
2371''Is n''t he here?
2371''Shot herself?''
2371''Why does n''t she come and see that that bouquet is taken in?
2371A candle had been lit in that room-- could it have been by him in his search for this object?
2371A hope was expressed of finding the latter alive and a party had started out-- Did I read more?
2371ARE YOU SPEAKING OF THE MOORE HOUSE?"
2371And did your wife blow out the one in the library herself, previous to the shooting, or was it blown out afterward and by other lips?"
2371And what did I find inside?
2371And where do you think it lies?
2371And who do you think it was who called attention to this loss and demanded that the article be found?
2371And why did she give you money?
2371And why do we find you lying here in a spot you so feared and detested?"
2371And why?
2371And, how did you get in?"
2371Are these intrusions necessary?
2371Are we not right in supposing a deeper cause for the disturbance between you than the slight one you offer in way of explanation?"
2371Are you going immediately into town?"
2371Are you ready to swear that these words were written by your wife and by no other?"
2371At some former time, then?
2371BOOK I THE FORBIDDEN ROOM THE FILIGREE BALL I"THE MOORE HOUSE?
2371Before or after your wife pulled the trigger which ended her life?
2371Before visiting the house?
2371But I have nothing more to say except, forgive-- forgive--"Do you think that God looks at his wretched ones differently from what men do?
2371But a victim to what?
2371But did it show anything more?
2371But instead of continuing on the line he had opened up, he proceeded to ask:"Where were you when this officer brought the news you mention?"
2371But might he not have had some other reason for his apparent niggardliness?
2371But perhaps you know that, too?"
2371But what in the nature of human woe could impose on him?
2371But where was I to seek for this clue?
2371But you have not answered my question; whom do you mean by she?"
2371By you?"
2371Can I do anything for you?"
2371Can it possibly be Mrs. Jeffrey or her husband?"
2371Can you give me any instance of this; mention, I mean, any conversations overheard by you which would show us just what you mean?"
2371Come on or-- Well, what now?"
2371Could I hope to guess what presented itself to Mr. Moore as a difficult if not insolvable problem?
2371Could it be possible that those curtains concealed some one in hiding behind them?
2371Could this idea be established, and, if so, how?
2371Creaks, does it?
2371Did I dread to recognize a too familiar face?
2371Did I feel set up by this?
2371Did I find it of interest?
2371Did any one?
2371Did he catch this expression of sorrow from one whose presence he as yet had given no token of recognizing?
2371Did he know Mr. Moore, and his house which was somewhere near?
2371Did her mind seem to run on that?"
2371Did his wife know that he was going to dine out?"
2371Did n''t you know that?
2371Did she appear any better satisfied or more composed?"
2371Did she make any allusion to it, I mean?"
2371Did she walk?"
2371Did some sudden realization of what she had done in marrying a man whom she herself declared she did not love come when it was too late?
2371Did the coroner perceive this and recognize at last both the measure of her attractions and the power they were likely to carry with them?
2371Did the same thought strike my companion?
2371Did you consider her well and happy?"
2371Did you meet Mr. Moore during the course of your visit to a neighborhood over which he seems to hold absolute sway?"
2371Did you read the note?"
2371Do n''t you think this the true explanation of his invariably moody brow and the great distaste he always showed for this same library?
2371Do you ask what this discovery was?
2371Do you belong to the army?"
2371Do you flatter yourself that he can tell you anything that other people do n''t know?
2371Do you for a moment think that I entered that old house?"
2371Do you remember what occurred on the bridge at Georgetown just before you came into town that night?"
2371Do you think she was a welcome visitor in this house?"
2371Do you think that I was called upon to publish my shame and tell how I lingered there while my own niece shot herself before my eyes?
2371Do you think that any ordinary quarrel between husband and wife would account for the display of such fury?
2371Do you want them, sir?"
2371Do you want to be present?"
2371Does this seem like the assertion of a madman?
2371Doubtless it had been returned with the other things to Mr. Jeffrey, and yet, who knows?
2371Dust from what?
2371From whom?
2371Got up on a chair on purpose to do so?"
2371Had Mr. Jeffrey placed the small stand holding the candelabrum on the spot where it had been found?
2371Had V. M. a middle initial, and was that initial A?
2371Had he also bought matches?
2371Had he bought candles or not at the grocer''s around the corner?
2371Had he carried into the house, at the time of his acknowledged visit, the candles which had been afterward discovered there?
2371Had he done so in an effort to balance himself for a look up the chimney?
2371Had he interrupted his writing to finish his query in blood, and had one of his motives for this crime been the acquisition of this filigree ball?
2371Had he not so used them?
2371Had he noticed when he got home that the box he had just bought was half empty?
2371Had her hand brought it there?
2371Had she been robbed?
2371Had the witness accompanied his wife to the Moore house?
2371Had there dawned upon him as my testimony was given any suspicion of the trick by which he had been proved responsible for those marks?
2371Had this interest been a general one or had it centered in a particular volume?
2371Had this latent suspicion against Mr. Moore any solid foundation?
2371Has anything fresh happened in the old house?"
2371Have I not heard you utter more than one complaint in this regard?"
2371Have I said anything I should n''t?"
2371Have I said so; or do those old walls babble in their sleep?"
2371He is still breathing?"
2371Her bridegroom?
2371Himself?
2371His life in the little cottage was so engrossing-- he had his organ-- his dog-- why should he look out of the window?
2371How could we account for that?
2371How do you propose to reconcile your assertions with a fact so undeniable?"
2371How long before her death?"
2371How then?
2371How''s that, if he was her husband, William?"
2371I asked;"and how came you here?
2371I did n''t know him; but I saw he r-""Where?
2371I did n''t think he''d die-- he looked so strong-- What''s the matter, sir?
2371I do not say that it has; but such a thing is possible, you know: who better?"
2371I had acquainted myself with the open facts of this family''s history; but what of its inner life?
2371I made a mistake-- I see it now-- trusted a dog when I shouldn''t-- but if Rudge had not seen ghosts-- well, what now?"
2371I suppose you are anxious to move in?"
2371I wonder if she will blame me for it?"
2371If I thought any one was with her at that moment--""Well?"
2371If burning, then by whom had it since been blown out?
2371If so, why had he left it on the table upstairs?
2371If this was so-- and what other theory would better or even so well account for her peculiar behavior both then and afterward?
2371In itself it was nothing but a minute magnifying glass; but when used in connection with-- what?
2371Is it from headquarters?
2371Is it not natural that his daughter should share this feeling?''
2371Is it-- is it a haunted room?''
2371Is n''t she like--?"
2371Is n''t that so, Mr. Moore?
2371Is this true?"
2371It was feelingly uttered, and several faces lightened; but the coroner repeating:"Is there no way you can prove this to our satisfaction?"
2371It was the very night that his wife-- But what''s up?
2371It was you and not she who had a right to be jealous?
2371Jeffrey?"
2371Jeffrey?"
2371Jeffrey?"
2371Jeffrey?"
2371Jeffrey?"
2371May I beg that you will prepare yourself to go at once to Waverley Avenue?"
2371Moore?"
2371Mr. Jeffrey looked up as much as to say,"Why so many small questions about so simple a matter?"
2371Mr. Jeffrey was saying,''What''s that?
2371Mr. Jeffrey''s reason for his visit there could not be her reason, yet what other had she to give?
2371Must I go back to the major with my convictions unchanged but with no fresh proof, no real evidence to support them?
2371Nevertheless he had used many matches in going through this old house, had he not?
2371Now may I ask you to describe the cover of this book?"
2371Now that Mrs. Jeffrey''s body has been removed, do you feel that the scene of her demise need hold the attention of the police any longer?"
2371Now what is the matter with the Moore house?"
2371Now what was the result?
2371Now, by whom had this frenzy been shown, and when?
2371Now, when was this?
2371O, where in God''s universe can I be made innocent again and fit to look in your face and to love-- heart- breaking thought-- even to love you again?
2371Oh, sir, when are you going back?"
2371Oh, what have I done?"
2371Or had she thrown it away, and if so, where?
2371Or had she within herself some great source of strength, which sustained her in this most dreadful ordeal?
2371Or has the district attorney still more questions to ask?"
2371Or perhaps you prefer to have it down rather than up?
2371Or was my conscience aroused at last and clamoring to be heard when it was too late?
2371Or was the action the result of an unconscious habit?
2371Peculiar in a bride, is n''t it?
2371Perhaps, for his voice took an acrid note as he declared:"You had another errand in that room?"
2371Perhaps; but if so, why could it not be found?
2371Possibly; but to what duty?
2371Question: Did this argue a natural expectation on her part of resuming her hat?
2371She admits to having been there when the pistol was fired, unless--""Unless what?
2371She came with him of course?"
2371She had no appearance of it; she laughed when I--"What had she been about to say?
2371Should I be able to finish my story before Durbin returned?
2371Should I proceed or await the coming of the"boys"before pushing in upon a possible murderer?
2371Should I search for it?
2371Should I trust my lucky star and remain for the nonce quiescent?
2371Should you not say that the ring had been dragged from her hand?"
2371Something equally bold and reprehensible, of course, but what?
2371Suddenly he spoke and asked,''Why must Cora remain with us?''
2371THE FILIGREE BALL by Anna Katherine Green CONTENTS BOOK I CHAPTER I"THE MOORE HOUSE?"
2371Tell my story to the major and depend on him to push the matter to its proper conclusion?
2371That dear little place all smothered in vines?
2371That they had come from some eye- witness I had no doubt, but who was the eye- witness?
2371That was n''t enough?
2371The captain answered by a question:"How do you account for her being here at all?
2371The ceremony had been late; did I know it?
2371The first question he now put was:"Where did you find the slip of paper containing these last words from your wife?"
2371The major, with his eyes fixed piercingly on this miserable man, replied with one pregnant, sentence:"Then you forced your wife to suicide?"
2371Then I asked myself what she would be likely to do with this ring after disengaging it from her hand?
2371Then I have seen her flush in a way to make the heart ache; it was such a contrast, sir, to other times when she was by herself or--""Or what?"
2371Then quickly and with a sharp look at Miss Tuttle:"Do you know if this was considered an accurate timepiece?"
2371Then wherein lay its charm,--a charm which I myself had felt, though not to this extent?
2371Then, realizing that denial in this regard was fatal, he added more genially:"What do you mean by memorandum?
2371Then, while she was seated where she could not see my face, I whispered the question:''Do you know that you have had a horrible dream?''
2371Then, with a kind look at her, called forth by the sight of her misery:"Does this hour agree with the time of her leaving the house?"
2371There is no doubt about your believing this?"
2371This gave the coroner an opportunity to ask:"And why did you expect to find a candle there?"
2371Through what devious ways and from what unexpected sources had I come upon this knowledge?
2371Through whose influence?
2371To light his way upstairs, perhaps?
2371To some exaggerated sense of duty?
2371Trust what?
2371Was I destined to behold a struggle in the streets, an unseemly contest of words in sight of the door I had expected to enter so joyously?
2371Was I doomed to defeat, then?
2371Was Miss Tuttle out that evening?"
2371Was he acting a part or did he really forget just what it was for his own best welfare to remember?
2371Was he not your informant?"
2371Was he talking by rote, or was he utterly done with life and all its interests?
2371Was he the guilty man?
2371Was it in answer to this appeal or because I realized that I had come at last upon a clue calling for immediate action?
2371Was it simply an expression of her secret devotion to him or the signal of some compact which had been entered into between them?
2371Was it- could it be, on her own account?
2371Was n''t that the freak of an idle man, wandering, he hardly knows why, from room to room in an old and deserted house?"
2371Was n''t the pistol found tied to her?"
2371Was no attempt made to see if the pistol was or was not in the drawer?"
2371Was that it?
2371Was the house dark or light when you entered it?
2371Was the man who died here a fortnight since accountable for these ashes?
2371Was the suffering merely one of outraged delicacy?
2371Was there meaning in this coincidence?
2371Was this increased or diminished by the tone of the few lines she left behind her?"
2371We will hunt for the spring under the closet drawers and see what happens, eh?
2371We,''Who tied the pistol to Mrs. Jeffrey''s arm?''
2371Were his remarks a prophecy?
2371Were the lines of her last farewell true then, and did she experience at that moment a sudden realization of her lack of love?
2371Were there other causes for the young bride''s evident disappointment and misery besides the one intimated?
2371Were these details necessary?
2371Were you and Miss Tuttle ever engaged?"
2371What are we that we should hope to avert it by any act or at any cost?"
2371What article of jewelry?
2371What call had I to penetrate the conscience of this woman?
2371What cause had you for death?
2371What could be more thrilling, or appeal more closely to the general heart of humanity?
2371What could this quaint and characteristic little body have to do with this case of doubtful suicide?
2371What do you make of this?"
2371What do you think it means?"
2371What do you think?"
2371What do you want to know?"
2371What explanation have you, as her husband, to give for this strange suicide of your wife?"
2371What is it?"
2371What kind?
2371What might be expected next?
2371What old picture?"
2371What was I to do then?
2371What was it?
2371What was the conclusion?
2371What was the reason then that my mind refused so emphatically to grasp this possibility and settle upon him as the murderer of Mrs. Jeffrey?
2371What was there in this old picture to arouse such curiosity in one bent on evil if not fresh from a hideous crime?
2371What was there left for him to say, or even to do?
2371What would their verdict be?
2371What, then, was it that I saw glittering on a small table at the other end of the room?
2371What, then, was it?
2371When was it opened again?"
2371When you heard a pistol- shot sounding from the depths of that dark library, what did you think it meant?"
2371Whence came those candles?
2371Where is her watch?
2371Where is my sister?"
2371Where were you in the interim?"
2371Who fashioned it, I mean, or tied it for you, if that is what I ought to say?"
2371Who knew it?
2371Who then?
2371Who was her accessory then?
2371Who will avenge you, and where will you ever find happiness?
2371Who will tell the man inside there?
2371Who, then, had it been?
2371Whose mind?
2371Whose was the influence?
2371Why I could neither rest nor sleep till he and the other boy were safely out of town?
2371Why am I summoned here?"
2371Why did you fly?
2371Why disturb her then?
2371Why do you ask?
2371Why do you leave that dreadful thing fast to her?
2371Why had he done so, if he had candles in his pocket, which were so much easier to hold and so much more lasting than a lighted match?
2371Why not mention them?"
2371Why should a man rest his finger- tips on this out- of- the- way shelf?
2371Why should n''t I?
2371Why then not test their combined effect?
2371Why then should I be expected to mourn over a niece who did not care enough for me to invite me to her wedding?
2371Why?
2371Why?
2371Why?
2371Why?"
2371Will they seem as pathetic to the eye as they did to the ear in that room of awesome memories and present death?
2371Will you be kind enough to repeat the circumstance?
2371Will you forgive me?"
2371Will you read them?
2371Within the hour?
2371Would I be so good as to take it out for her and insert it again somewhere near the end?
2371Would Mr. Jeffrey answer it?
2371Would he glance at this impression of certain finger- tips which had been left in the dust of the southwest chamber mantel?
2371Would he see it, too, and come forward from the secret place where he held himself hidden?
2371Would she keep it?
2371Would she marry, and, if so, to which of the many wealthy or prominent men who had openly courted her would she accord her hand?
2371Would she would I-- be apt to speak of my young wife with bitterness?"
2371Would you have shown the same anxious eagerness if you had known why I whispered those few words to him from the carriage door?
2371Yet how tell my story so that only my own heirs may read and they when at the crisis of their fate?
2371You ask,''Who blew out the candle?''
2371You believe that her mind was unseated?"
2371You do not wish me to face some half- dozen men alone?"
2371You have matches and a revolver?"
2371You knew that Mr. Jeffrey had a pistol?"
2371You recognize it?"
2371You say that it was not from any dread on your sister''s account?
2371You took a look at that, did n''t you?
2371You''ve come, have you?"
2371all there?"
2371and had it a back- yard with garden- room enough for her to raise pinks and nasturtiums?
2371and this was on Tuesday night?"
2371and what would the rent be, did he think?
2371before he spoke?"
2371but what did it all mean?
2371it creaked; did n''t you hear it?"
2371not with fifty thousand a year to lighten her oddities?''
2371or, remembering that these questions were rather friendly than official, refuse to satisfy a curiosity which he might well consider intrusive?
2371say on the day of the bridal?
2371that faded- out sketch, fit only for the garret?"
2371was he there?''
2371what''s that?"
23474What is the use of praying for rain,said he,"when the wind is in this quarter?"
23474''A bad lot, Miss Mosk?''
23474''A decayed clergyman, John?''
23474''A gipsy, mother, or only a Romany rye?''
23474''A professional name you say?''
23474''A real gipsy, Mrs Pansey?''
23474''A whisky and soda, then?''
23474''About what?
23474''About-- about-- that-- that murder?''
23474''Admitting as much,''urged Gabriel, seeing that George kept silent,''surely you will not visit the sins of the father on the innocent child?''
23474''Ah, wos it now?''
23474''Am I needed?''
23474''Am I to understand that you disapprove of my niece?''
23474''And Gabriel?''
23474''And Miss Mosk?''
23474''And are you now a missionary?''
23474''And had she anything unpleasant to say about me?''
23474''And his lordship was taken ill when this visitor departed, John?''
23474''And his paleness was caused by the noisy conduct of this man?''
23474''And if I refuse?''
23474''And if the truth be as cruel as you suspect?''
23474''And the name of the river, dear Mr Dean?
23474''And then, Baltic?''
23474''And what about your conduct towards your father?''
23474''And what can I do for you?''
23474''And what recalled it?''
23474''And where is Captain Pendle now, sir?''
23474''And who is really and truly the most beautiful girl in Beorminster?''
23474''And you do n''t know who killed the man?''
23474''Answers to the name of Jentham, perhaps?''
23474''Are lovers ever sensible?''
23474''Are you glad to leave me?''
23474''Are you going to ask about Gabriel''s ticket at Cook''s?''
23474''Are you going to confess?''
23474''Are you ill, sir?''
23474''Are you not glad to see me?''
23474''Are you perfectly certain that Jentham and Krant are one and the same man?''
23474''Are you sure he was a gipsy?''
23474''Are you sure that I am the proper person to consult?''
23474''Are you sure that he is dead?''
23474''Are-- are you sure?''
23474''Arsk me sum''thin''easier, carn''t you?
23474''As-- as a barmaid?''
23474''Ave you pen and paper?''
23474''Ay, ay, what is that?''
23474''Baltic is a London detective, no doubt?''
23474''Bell,''said he, gruffly,''what''s that old cat hinting at?''
23474''But Jentham might have expected to receive money, Mr Inspector?''
23474''But does the bishop know?''
23474''But how did he learn about the marriage?''
23474''But is it likely that a labourer would have a pistol?''
23474''But is n''t the term"missionary"rather a misnomer?''
23474''But what can you expect?''
23474''But why was the man killed?''
23474''But you do n''t think that he will object to me, George?''
23474''But your headache, aunty?''
23474''But, dear Mrs Pansey, you do n''t think sweet Miss Whichello has anything to do with this very dreadful murder?''
23474''But, doctor, do you trust Baltic?''
23474''But_ is_ Mrs Pansey to be believed, bishop?''
23474''By no means; by no means; how can you think me so wanting in courtesy?
23474''By the way, did you not tell me that Captain George Pendle was on the common when the murder took place?''
23474''By the way, what is this about his lordship being ill?''
23474''By the way, will you have a cigar?''
23474''Ca n''t I?
23474''Ca n''t it be put right?''
23474''Can I not help you?''
23474''Can not I see my husband?''
23474''Can not Mosk, with whom Jentham was lodging, enlighten you?''
23474''Can not you take your glass without becoming intoxicated?''
23474''Can you bear to hear the truth, Amy?
23474''Can you describe him?''
23474''Can you expect anything else if you permit yourself to sink without an effort?''
23474''Can you get blood out of a stone, Mr Cargrim?
23474''Can you guess who killed the man?''
23474''Carn''t y''arsk me somethin''easier?''
23474''Comes home on Skinflint, woman, what do you mean?''
23474''Could not that shame be spared me?''
23474''Curse you, what of that?''
23474''Did Jentham give his name?''
23474''Did he hear or see anything?''
23474''Did he hear the shot fired?''
23474''Did he hurt you, Mab?''
23474''Did he not confess to Mr Baltic?''
23474''Did he say if he had found any papers on Jentham''s body?''
23474''Did n''t Dr Pendle meet Jentham on the common?''
23474''Did she go there?
23474''Did she know him?''
23474''Did she tell you she visited the dead- house?''
23474''Did she wear a veil?''
23474''Did the bishop tell you so?''
23474''Did the man go to the gipsy camp on Sunday night?''
23474''Did you buy it in Beorminster?''
23474''Did you carry a pistol with you on that night?''
23474''Did you ever see her husband?''
23474''Did you hear or see anything of the murder?''
23474''Did you know that my mother was a widow when my father married her?''
23474''Did you not see him on that night, then?''
23474''Did you save his life?''
23474''Did you see anything of the murder, Captain Pendle?''
23474''Did you see me?''
23474''Did you speak with him on the spot where his corpse was afterwards found?''
23474''Did you-- do you know-- are you aware that Miss Whichello buried him, sir?''
23474''Do I look as though I were acquainted with bishops?''
23474''Do n''t you carry a pistol, Mr Pendle?''
23474''Do you believe that the money was paid?''
23474''Do you call malice, falsehood, dissimulation nothing?''
23474''Do you know if Mr Pendle is within, my friend?''
23474''Do you know what he told him?''
23474''Do you know who killed him?''
23474''Do you know why I am here, old woman?''
23474''Do you know why I wish you to go abroad?''
23474''Do you know, ladies, that Miss Arden was attacked last night by a tramp and Captain Pendle knocked him down?''
23474''Do you mean my marriage to Bell?''
23474''Do you mean to tell me that those creatures have a language of their own?''
23474''Do you need me to tell you so?''
23474''Do you object to my seeing Mab before I go?''
23474''Do you really think Harry will like to come?''
23474''Do you suspect him?''
23474''Do you think He has been merciful?''
23474''Do you think I''ll not pay you?''
23474''Do you think she knows who murdered the man?''
23474''Do you think that there is any chance of the murderer of this man being discovered?''
23474''Do you think there is any necessity, Graham?
23474''Do you wish to lose your license?''
23474''Do you wish to speak with me?''
23474''Does Cargrim believe that the bishop killed this man?''
23474''Does Cargrim know the nature of Dr Pendle''s secret?''
23474''Does he drink to excess?''
23474''Does not your lordship desire my attendance?''
23474''Does she know of it?''
23474''Does she know that it has?''
23474''Does that mean that your lordship will not give me the living?''
23474''Does your father know that you are back?''
23474''Does your lordship wish the assassin to be captured?''
23474''Does-- he-- indeed?''
23474''Engaged?''
23474''Fallen condition, my lord?''
23474''Father, would you forbid--?''
23474''For Miss Arden, I suppose?''
23474''For what is the use of telling him?''
23474''Foreigner?
23474''From Mother Jael!--that old gipsy fortune- teller?''
23474''From whose account, bishop?''
23474''George,''he said, with a serious look on his usually merry face,''were you on Southberry Heath on the night that poor devil was murdered?''
23474''Gods or God, doctor?''
23474''Guilty?
23474''Had n''t you better call me George, Miss Whichello?''
23474''Has Gabriel been here to- day?''
23474''Has He not shown us how to expiate our sin?''
23474''Has anything new been discovered since the inquest?''
23474''Has not Mr Gabriel informed your lordship of his engagement?''
23474''Has your secret trouble anything to do with Mrs Pendle?''
23474''Have I been doing anything which requires me to be reasoned with?''
23474''Have the footmarks in the road been measured?''
23474''Have you a proof of this marriage, Miss Whichello?''
23474''Have you been getting into trouble?''
23474''Have you consulted a lawyer on your position?''
23474''Have you given this young woman a promise of marriage?''
23474''Have you had supper, Miss Whichello?''
23474''He called himself Amaru then, did he not?''
23474''He came to extort money, I suppose?''
23474''He left your camp at nine o''clock?''
23474''He was one of your lot, I suppose?''
23474''He''s a gipsy, is he?''
23474''He''s been in the South Seas, has n''t he?''
23474''Hev you the money, mister?''
23474''His name?''
23474''How can I help myself?''
23474''How can you, with your refined tastes and up- bringing, love this-- this--?
23474''How could he hear with the noise of the storm?
23474''How dare you speak to me like that, fellow?''
23474''How did Gabriel learn the truth?''
23474''How did he die?''
23474''How did he find out that you had married Mrs Krant?''
23474''How did you learn my secret, Graham?''
23474''How did you recognise a man you had not seen?''
23474''How did you recognise me?''
23474''How do I know but that the villain did not deceive her also by making her his wife under a false name?''
23474''How do you live then?
23474''How does he know-- how does anyone know that the bishop did so?''
23474''How does she know that?''
23474''How else did you expect me to behave?
23474''How is that, doctor?''
23474''How much is the living worth?''
23474''How often have I asked you to personally examine into the drinking and gambling and loose pleasures which make it a Jericho of sin?''
23474''How who killed him?''
23474''How-- how-- dare you?''
23474''Humph, that''s your opinion, is it?
23474''Humph,''said the eyebrows,''a pale, washed- out rag of a creature-- but what can you expect from such a mother?
23474''I am aware of that, but what about her father?''
23474''I do n''t suppose you know the man either, aunty?''
23474''I do not doubt that, Miss Mosk; but are you sure that you are wise in marrying out of your sphere?''
23474''I have n''t the certificate of my sister''s marriage-- haven''t I?
23474''I hope so too; do you know who he is?''
23474''I presume you know who I am, Miss Mosk?''
23474''I suppose Captain Pendle saw nothing of Jentham at the gipsy camp?''
23474''I suppose there can be no doubt about it, Baltic?''
23474''I think I know,''thought Cargrim; then added aloud,''Is the man here?''
23474''I wonder really what could have been the motive for the murder?''
23474''I-- I-- murder-- I kill-- what-- Cargrim-- says,''he stammered; then asked him with a sharp rush of speech,''Is the man mad?''
23474''I?
23474''If you are n''t a spy why do you come sneaking round here?''
23474''If you are, what right have you to marry and bring feeble children into the world?''
23474''If you think so, Sir Harry, why not ask him?''
23474''In that case, sir, why ask me for my opinion?''
23474''In your character of a private inquiry agent?''
23474''Indeed,''said the chaplain, pricking up his ears,''he owes you money?''
23474''Is Dr Graham young?''
23474''Is he certain that there is one?''
23474''Is he here now?''
23474''Is he ill?''
23474''Is he one of the Lancashire Pendles, dear Mrs Pansey?''
23474''Is his lordship better?''
23474''Is it a very, very good match?''
23474''Is it goose?''
23474''Is it impossible for such a one to be a Christian, Sir Harry?''
23474''Is it money worries, bishop?''
23474''Is it necessary that we should marry again?''
23474''Is it singular, sir?''
23474''Is it so very terrible, my boy?''
23474''Is it your belief that the woman knows your secret?''
23474''Is n''t it your duty to eradicate plague- spots, bishop?''
23474''Is she very ill?''
23474''Is that the man?''
23474''Is that you, Gabriel?''
23474''Is the man a hypocrite?''
23474''Is there anything wrong with him?''
23474''Is this sudden illness serious?''
23474''Is this the kind of coat likely to be admitted into episcopalian palaces?''
23474''Is this true, Miss Mosk?''
23474''Is this true?''
23474''Is this yours?''
23474''Is your father in, Miss Mosk?''
23474''Is your mother ill again?''
23474''Is-- is your daughter the wife of young Mr Pendle?''
23474''It has led us a long way from the main point,''agreed Harry,''and that is-- what is Dr Pendle''s secret?''
23474''It is better now, my dear,''replied the old lady, who really looked very ill.''How do you do, Captain Pendle?''
23474''It is not this murder that is troubling you, I suppose?''
23474''It is true, then?''
23474''It must be removed,''repeated the bishop, gently;''and why, Mrs Pansey?''
23474''It''s easy enough promisin'', I daresay; but''ow do I know, or do you know as the promise''ull be kept?''
23474''It''s not your heart, I trust, George?''
23474''Jentham?''
23474''Know what?
23474''Leave the Church?''
23474''Let me say a prayer, Mosk?''
23474''May I beg of you to put a name to one of''em?''
23474''Me in the dock?''
23474''Miss Whichello,''mimicked the gay lover,''am I not to be received into the family under the name of George?''
23474''Mosk''s daughter, sir?''
23474''My love, how was I to know your aunt took an interest in the man?''
23474''My lovely pauper, what is all this to me?
23474''My mother is very ill.''''Then why do n''t ye stay t''ome and look arter her?''
23474''My poor dear George,''said she, smoothing his white hair,''you are not angry with me?''
23474''No, Mr Cargrim, why should you?''
23474''Now then, sir,''interrupted a sharp but pleasant female voice,''and what may you want?''
23474''Now, then,''said she, planting her back against the door,''what do you mean by treating me like a bit of dirt?''
23474''Oh, Mrs Pansey, the dear bishop a sinner?''
23474''Oh, are they?
23474''Oh, dear me, are there no young men at all?''
23474''Oh, he would, would he?''
23474''Oh, they was, was they, Mr Inspector?
23474''Oh, you did, did you?
23474''Oh, you will, will you?''
23474''Oh,''groaned Mrs Pansey,''is it the chief end of man to pay his way?''
23474''On Sunday night-- the night he was killed?''
23474''On behalf of Tinkler, I suppose?''
23474''On my daughter''s engagement?''
23474''On what grounds?''
23474''Oo d''y think shot''i m, Mr Mosk?''
23474''Ow did you think''twas me, guv''nor?''
23474''Pardon me, bishop,''he said delicately,''but have you had words with your wife?''
23474''Part?
23474''Perhaps he sent you?''
23474''Remember what the old Scotch sexton said to the weeping mourners,"What are ye greeting aboot?
23474''Shall I accompany your lordship?''
23474''Shall I not accompany your lordship?''
23474''Should n''t the bishop be warned, doctor?''
23474''So he had a scar?''
23474''So you are weak in the back, are you?''
23474''Something wrong?''
23474''The Derby Winner,''repeated Mrs Pendle, in puzzled tones;''is that a horse?''
23474''The bishop was over at Southberry yesterday, was he not?''
23474''The bishop''s first name?
23474''The right cheek?''
23474''The truth?''
23474''Then tell me if that gipsy woman, Mother Jael, is here?''
23474''Then who wrote the letter?''
23474''Then why come you with a double face, little child?''
23474''Then your mother and sister do not know what you are about to tell me?''
23474''There is no bad news from Nauheim, I hope, sir?''
23474''There_ is_ something serious the matter, then?''
23474''This visitor has had nothing to do with papa''s illness, then?''
23474''To hear if I had anything to say about my visit to your bishop, I suppose?''
23474''To what rumours does your lordship refer?''
23474''To whom is my son Gabriel engaged?
23474''To whom is my son engaged?''
23474''To whom should a priest come, save to those who need him?''
23474''Very pleased to give it to you, my boy, but why not consult the bishop?''
23474''W-- was Jentham-- Bos-- Bosvile?''
23474''Was Captain Pendle on Southberry Heath?''
23474''Was he shot with this, Harry?''
23474''Was he sober or drunk?''
23474''Was he with you long, granny?''
23474''Was his name Jentham, mother; or was it something else?''
23474''Was n''t I drinking to your health,''cause the old''un at Heathcroft wos passin''to his long''ome?
23474''Was search made for the pistol?''
23474''Well, Cargrim,''said Gabriel, when he found himself in the street with his uncongenial companion,''what is it?''
23474''Well, Leigh is old and ripe enough to die, is n''t he?''
23474''Well, and you met the scamp?''
23474''Well, good folks,''said the brisk little lady in a brisk little voice,''and how are you both?
23474''Well, it''s in the Bible, is n''t it, man?
23474''Well, sir, well,''grunted Mr Inspector, pompously,''and how does your little affair get on?''
23474''Were any papers taken, do you think, Mr Inspector?''
23474''What about Cargrim?''
23474''What about his wife?''
23474''What about the landlord, Mr Cargrim?''
23474''What about your father?
23474''What about?''
23474''What are you driving at?''
23474''What are your plans, Bell?''
23474''What can I do for you?''
23474''What can he suspect?''
23474''What can his secret be?''
23474''What can we expect from a man who drinks and bets?''
23474''What can you expect from that flaunting hussy?''
23474''What could I say but"Yes"?
23474''What d''y mean by it?''
23474''What did you tell her?''
23474''What do you know of him, sir?''
23474''What do you mean by talking like that?''
23474''What do you mean, Captain Pendle?''
23474''What do you mean, Mosk?''
23474''What do you mean, lad?''
23474''What do you mean, sir?''
23474''What do you think of my patient now?''
23474''What do you think?''
23474''What do you wish me to do, sir?''
23474''What do you-- you-- you mean, man?''
23474''What does Mother Jael know of your secret?''
23474''What does it matter, my darling?
23474''What else am I fit for?''
23474''What has caused it?''
23474''What has she been doing now, Gabriel?''
23474''What have I done?''
23474''What is Miss Whichello''s opinion?''
23474''What is all this noise, Mosk?''
23474''What is he doing here?''
23474''What is he doing here?''
23474''What is his name?''
23474''What is his task, eh?''
23474''What is it, George?
23474''What is it, aunty?''
23474''What is it?''
23474''What is it?''
23474''What is not true, sir?''
23474''What is the matter with the bishop?''
23474''What is the matter?''
23474''What is the use of crying over spilt milk?''
23474''What is the use of words without deeds?
23474''What is your opinion of this hotel, Mr Cargrim?''
23474''What kind of a looking man is he?''
23474''What language is that?''
23474''What now?''
23474''What of it?''
23474''What of that?''
23474''What of your own great ones?''
23474''What papers?''
23474''What sort of thing?''
23474''What was Miss Arden doing to place herself in the position of being attacked by a tramp?''
23474''What was his name, Miss Whichello, ma''am?''
23474''What was his real name?''
23474''What was the secret, then?''
23474''What were you doing there?''
23474''What''s that got to do with it?''
23474''What''s that to you?''
23474''When do you wish me to go, father?''
23474''When?
23474''Where does he get his money from?''
23474''Where is Miss Norsham?''
23474''Where is he?''
23474''Where is she?''
23474''Where was the body found?''
23474''Whichello?
23474''Who are you, juggel- mush?
23474''Who dares to say a word against my character?''
23474''Who is Jentham, Mrs Mosk?''
23474''Who is Mab Arden, dear Mrs Pansey?''
23474''Who is he?
23474''Who is this Baltic you talk of so much?''
23474''Who paid for his funeral then?''
23474''Who said you had?''
23474''Who says he does n''t, father?
23474''Who shot him?''
23474''Who should sift it but I?''
23474''Who told you all this?''
23474''Who told you this fact?''
23474''Who was going to pay him this money?''
23474''Who was he?''
23474''Who was the Gorgio?''
23474''Who was the man?''
23474''Why are you here?''
23474''Why did you not tell me of this long ago, so that I might share your sorrow?''
23474''Why do you look so ill?''
23474''Why do you watch the bishop?''
23474''Why indeed?
23474''Why is he staying in Beorminster?''
23474''Why is he taking the trouble to do that?''
23474''Why not first- hand from me?''
23474''Why not, your lordship?''
23474''Why not?
23474''Why not?
23474''Why not?
23474''Why not?
23474''Why not?''
23474''Why not?''
23474''Why should you come here to ask for Mr Pendle?''
23474''Why, Dr Graham?''
23474''Why, bishop?
23474''Why, did n''t I tell you?
23474''Why, sir?
23474''Why?''
23474''Will your lordship indicate the particular deficiencies I should remedy?''
23474''Wo n''t have what, father?
23474''Wo n''t you confess from a sense of your sin?''
23474''Worn out with worry, I suppose?''
23474''Wot''s th''use of livin''bad all these years, and then turnin''good for five minutes?''
23474''Would I speak so positively if I was n''t?
23474''Would it indeed, ma''am?''
23474''Would n''t a bishop content you?''
23474''Would you be coerced in that way?''
23474''Would you make her responsible for his sins?
23474''Yes, what is it?''
23474''You ai n''t going to preach, sir?''
23474''You are Miss Mosk, are you not?''
23474''You are about to tell me the truth of those rumours which were prevalent in Beorminster when you brought Miss Arden home to your house?''
23474''You are sober enough to answer my questions, I hope?''
23474''You are sure it is quite safe for you to go home alone?''
23474''You are sure you have not forgotten your gloves, Captain Pendle?''
23474''You describe an ideal rector, Cargrim,''remarked Dr Pendle, rather dryly,''a kind of bishop in embryo; but where is such a paragon to be found?''
23474''You did n''t meet anyone likely to have laid him out?''
23474''You do n''t anticipate that the murderer will be found?''
23474''You do n''t say so?''
23474''You do n''t think that I should tell Brace that--?''
23474''You gave this pistol to Gabriel?
23474''You had the money with you, I suppose?''
23474''You have gained some evidence, then?''
23474''You introduced him to the bishop, did n''t you?''
23474''You mean that I did not come round last night, Bell?''
23474''You wish to speak with me, Bell?''
23474''You''ll hand me over to the police, George Pendle, will you?''
23474''You''re talking of Mr Pendle, are you?''
23474''Young Mr Pendle is engaged to marry you, ai n''t he?
23474''Young?
23474''Your business was all right, I hope?''
23474''Your character needs a lot of disgracing, does n''t it?
23474''Your rights?
23474''e got drunk, did n''t he?
23474A tramp, a gipsy, an adventurer-- what had such a creature in common with Bishop Pendle?
23474About our engagement?''
23474Ah, Gabriel,''catching sight of his youngest son,''will you be so good as to come with me?''
23474Ai n''t I your lawfully begotten father?''
23474Ai n''t it yer forting as y''wan''s tole?
23474And Dr Pendle?
23474And now, my lord,''added Cargrim, with a sweet smile,''may I prefer a little request which was in my mind when I came to see you?''
23474And the bishop himself?
23474And what has all this to do with the murder of Jentham?''
23474And what is the very latest news of poor, dear Mrs Pendle?''
23474And what may you want, Mr Paul Pry?''
23474And who can say that she was acting wrongly?
23474And who told you about it?''
23474Anything that I can do?''
23474Are you in trouble?''
23474Are you strong enough?''
23474Are you sure we are quite private here, doctor?''
23474Be careful with the light an''put it out, Muster Pendle, for if you burns down the church, what good is fine sermons, I''d like to know?''
23474Ben Baltic he calls himself, does n''t he?
23474But again, if he was guilty, why did she avoid him?
23474But can I help you in any way?''
23474But how do you intend to get enough for us to marry on?''
23474But if it_ is_ liver, why not try Woodhall Spa?
23474But tell me how your unhappy sister became acquainted with this man?''
23474But what is he to you?''
23474But what is your candid opinion about this case?''
23474But which of''em, my tender dove-- the father or the son?''
23474But why do you ask all these questions?
23474But wot business had he to go talkin''of hundreds of pounds to a poor chap like me as''adn''t one copper to rub agin the other?
23474But you agree with me that Gabriel did not kill the brute?''
23474But your meaning of a Jesuitical Rodin?''
23474But-- er-- Mr Arden?''
23474By the way''--with a sudden change--''have you a man called Jentham here?''
23474By the way,''he added, as he half returned,''will you tell that gentleman with the scar on the cheek that I wish to see him also?''
23474By the way,''with an abrupt change of subject,''do you know that I saw the stranger who called at the palace two nights ago during the reception?''
23474By whom?''
23474Can a fool produce sense?
23474Can good come out of Nazareth?''
23474Can you take me to a more private place?''
23474D''y hear?''
23474Damme, Mr Baltic, how dare you?''
23474Danger from whom?''
23474Did he travel on a Cook''s ticket, do you know?''
23474Did they hear anything?''
23474Did you ever hear anything so horrid?''
23474Did you never think of my delicate wife, of my innocent family, when plotting and scheming my ruin with a smiling face?
23474Do n''t you feel better for your morning''s rest?''
23474Do you feel better now?''
23474Do you know anything about her, Mr Cargrim?''
23474Do you know anything about this murder, Miss Whichello, ma''am?''
23474Do you know the object of his visit to London?''
23474Do you know the party in question?''
23474Do you read much, Mr Inspector?''
23474Do you think I would stay in this place, where cruel people would remind me daily and hourly of my father''s sin?
23474Doctor, do you know that the visitor who made my father ill on the night of the reception was Jentham?''
23474Does Beorflete mean the church of the hill too?''
23474Does anyone here know that you are a private inquiry agent?''
23474Does mine then count for nothing?''
23474Does that false name vitiate the marriage?''
23474Does the bishop know that you suspect him?''
23474Dr Graham?
23474G. P.''mused Baltic--''same initials as those of your father and brother, eh, Mr Pendle?''
23474Had Dr Pendle committed a crime in his youth for which he was now being blackmailed?
23474Has he gone?''
23474Has he taken both cheque- books, or only one?''
23474Has my father anything on his mind likely to worry him to that extent?''
23474Have I not stood in the place of your father?
23474Have I not treated you as my own son?
23474Have you any objections?
23474Have you found him?''
23474Have you heard whether any more evidence has been found?''
23474He ca n''t eat me, can he?''
23474How can you expect the liver of a fat, lazy old man like me not to respond to these sudden changes of temperature?''
23474How did you guess?
23474How long is this sort of thing going on?''
23474However, now that you know the truth, sir,''said Captain Pendle, with his sunny smile,''may I ask for your approval and blessing?''
23474Hullo, Gabriel, why that solemn brow?''
23474I ask you, Graham, who would have disbelieved the evidence of letter and tombstone?''
23474I ask you, Graham-- I ask you, what else could I do than pay the money in the face of such shame and disgrace?''
23474I daresay Mrs Pansey said all sorts of wicked things about me, bishop?''
23474I deny what is true?
23474I hope she is better?''
23474I s''pose, sir, you wo n''t think of marryin''her now?''
23474I say, dearie,''she added, in a hoarse whisper,''what''s his first name?''
23474I suppose you-- and Mrs Pansey-- wonder why I did so?''
23474I suppose, sir, she did n''t tell you anything likely to help us?''
23474I wish I could see him livelier; is there nothing you can suggest to cheer him up?''
23474I wonder if he suspects the bishop or his two sons?
23474I wonder what that is for?''
23474I''m good enough for him, I hope?''
23474If he was innocent, why did she haunt him?
23474If so, how much?''
23474If ye dinna bring them at eighty, when wull ye bring them?"
23474If you had such wicked thoughts in your heart, why did you not come boldly before me and accuse me to my face?
23474Indeed, what else could I do?
23474Is Miss Whichello a foreigner?''
23474Is he quite well, Lucy?''
23474Is he still at The Derby Winner, Mr Cargrim?''
23474Is it known who shot him, Captain Pendle?''
23474Is not that the certificate of her death you are holding?''
23474Is she coming back?
23474Is that red- cheeked Dutch doll a pelican to pluck her breast for the benefit of her mother?
23474Is there anything else you wish to know?''
23474Is there anything the matter with him?''
23474Is your mother ill?
23474It''s to see mother; he''s a parson, ai n''t he?''
23474Leave me alone, ca n''t y''?''
23474May I ask on what grounds you did so?''
23474May I ask what you are troubled about in your mind?''
23474May I ask why you question me in this manner?''
23474May I inquire your reason for so singular a course?''
23474Michael, how could you act in a way so unworthy of a Christian, of a gentleman?''
23474Mr Cargrim?''
23474Neither maid, wife, nor widow, what should I do with a ring?''
23474No wonder the mystery of iniquity doth work, when those high in the land break the fourth commandment; are you going, Mr Cargrim?''
23474Now, m''lord, what have you to say to that?''
23474Of course, you know that Mr Gabriel lately went to Germany?''
23474Oh, dear me, what is this?''
23474P. all three,''said Baltic, with a nod,''Do you travel abroad with a Cook''s ticket, sir?''
23474So far as she is concerned, I fancy your secret is pretty safe; but,''added Graham, with a glance at the door,''what about Cargrim?''
23474So you regard yourself as a kind of scourge for the wicked?''
23474Tea?''
23474The bishop?''
23474The question is, do you intend to continue behaving badly?''
23474They do say as a cat kin look at a queen; and why not a pore gipsy at a noble bishop?
23474This is an''otel, is n''t it?
23474This stranger had a scar, you say?''
23474This visitor brought you bad news, I suppose?''
23474Tired, Mrs Pendle?
23474Undoubtedly he loved her, but, it may be asked, did she love him?
23474Was Jentham a disreputable relation of the bishop''s?
23474Was this gentleman a short man with light hair?
23474Well, Gabriel, and what then?''
23474Well, lad, and what do you propose doing?''
23474What about his sons, Mr Cargrim?
23474What about the pistol?''
23474What are you, an Arabian princess, doing in our cold grey West?
23474What can I do?
23474What could be the nature of the secret which gave this unscrupulous blackguard a hold on a dignitary of the Church?
23474What d''y mean by disgracing me?''
23474What did she say, bishop?''
23474What did you say?''
23474What do Jews know about the Bible?''
23474What do you know of this person, Mr Cargrim?''
23474What do you mean?
23474What do you mean?''
23474What do you mean?''
23474What do you mean?''
23474What do you say, Mr Cargrim?''
23474What does it all mean?''
23474What folly?''
23474What happened to the men who threw stones at David?''
23474What is his name?''
23474What is his object?''
23474What is it?
23474What is it?''
23474What is the matter with you?''
23474What is the meaning of these mysterious questions?''
23474What is wrong?
23474What is your good news?''
23474What is your next objection?''
23474What shall I do?
23474What shall I do?''
23474What the deuce is the good of laying a too weighty burden on any back, when you''ve got to strengthen it to bear it?
23474What would his lordship of Beorminster say if he knew you were here?''
23474What''ave you bin sayin''to her, sir?''
23474When?
23474Where Jentham''s corpse was found?''
23474Where did you get this?''
23474Where did you get your rich eastern beauty from, Mab?
23474Where did you go?''
23474Where dwells the sybil?''
23474Where is he?''
23474Where shall we go?''
23474Where?''
23474Where?''
23474Who is Miss Arden?''
23474Who told you?''
23474Who would have believed that Krant was such a scoundrel?''
23474Who''s yer son, anyhow?
23474Why do you want to know the bishop''s name?
23474Why do you want to know?''
23474Why do you want to see my mother?''
23474Why do you--''''A through ticket to-- say Nauheim-- is about three pounds, I believe?''
23474Why not go there, bishop?
23474Why not postpone your story?''
23474Why not tell me your trouble and let me help you?
23474Why should I?''
23474Why should that trouble me?''
23474Why should you think so ill of me, my poor boy?
23474Why speak in the past tense?
23474Why, George?''
23474Why, may I ask?''
23474Why, oh, why did I speak about him to Lucy and Gabriel?
23474Why?
23474Why?''
23474Why?''
23474Will you take something to drink, if I may make so bold, Mr Cargrim?''
23474With a man-- especially with a social inferior-- he felt that he could deal; but who can contend with a woman''s tongue?
23474Wo n''t you come in for a few minutes?
23474Y''would n''t hev caught me, I s''pose, if it had n''t bin for that bloomin''pistol?''
23474You are n''t going to say Holy Writ is indecent, are you?''
23474You ask why?
23474You do n''t suppose she''s a bigamist even though he''s a fool, do you?''
23474You left your mother well?''
23474You rode out at that late hour, in all that storm?''
23474You thank blind fortune under the alias of God?
23474You wo n''t go talking to Sir Harry, I hope, sir, and take the bread out of my mouth?''
23474You''ll keep true to my gal?''
23474a widow?''
23474and Mosk''s a pop''lar character, ai n''t he?
23474and he''s goin''to hev the livin''of Heathcroft, ai n''t he?
23474and how can I go round the whole of Beorminster to see whose feet fit''em?
23474and leave that hound to plot against the bishop?''
23474and old Leigh''s a- dyin''fast, ai n''t he?''
23474and who was she talking about to- day?''
23474and why do you watch him?''
23474are you sure?''
23474bellowed Mrs Pansey, shaking her fan;''and since when have brazen, painted barmaids become ladies, Mr Pendle?''
23474considering what, Dr Graham?''
23474cried Captain Pendle;''who is he?''
23474cried Mab and Gabriel in a breath,''how can you?''
23474cried Mosk, bursting into angry words as soon as the door was closed;''what d''y mean, you hussy?''
23474cried Mosk, his face lighting up;''does that Bible speech mean as y''are goin''to behave honourable?''
23474cried Mrs Pansey, ferociously;''are n''t we all miserable sinners?
23474cried the bishop, piteously,''where would you go?''
23474cried the gushing Daisy,''is it really you?
23474did she kill the poor devil?''
23474growled Mosk;''how should I know?
23474had Jentham any particular papers in his possession?''
23474he muttered in a low voice, and not looking at the chaplain;''ay, ay, what about him?''
23474he said briskly, advancing on Mrs Pendle,''what is all this?''
23474he says he''ll pay you soon,''repeated Cargrim;''he expects to receive money, then?''
23474how can I consent that you should take her to your bosom?''
23474is Saul also among the prophets?''
23474is he alive?''
23474my dear lady, how should I know?''
23474not even Mr Pendle?''
23474of course, Michael; what is it?''
23474pronounced the hostess,_ ex cathedrâ_;''but what can you expect from a parcel of trading fools?''
23474said Mother Jael, who was watching him from an odd angle of the wall into which she had squeezed herself,''I wonder which of''em did it?''
23474said he, aghast,''are we starting out on an African expedition, Lucy?''
23474said he, expansively,''what does Miss Whichello know?
23474said he, looking sharply at his visitor''s solemn red face,''who would have thought of seeing you in these latitudes?''
23474said he, speaking with unnatural calmness,''do you dare to sit there and tell me that you have come here to watch the bishop?''
23474said she, in a high key of astonishment,''who is this Gorgio who patters with the gab of a gentle Romany?''
23474said the bishop,''what is this?
23474said the scandalised chaplain,''am I to understand that your master has taken more than is good for him?''
23474said the young man, slipping his arm round Mab;''and why not George?''
23474shall I ever sleep again?''
23474sir, you do n''t mean to tell me that you suspected the bishop?
23474the daughter of the landlord of The Derby Winner?''
23474the rector of Heathcroft?
23474what is it?
23474what of the future?''
23474who am I that I should visit your sins on her innocent head?''
23474will you not ask my consent?''
23474with sudden wrath,''why in the name of the Thirty- Nine Articles ca n''t you tell me the truth?''
23474you do n''t think that I killed the blackguard?''
33019After Mr. Ashton had left you to retire?
33019After that you retired at once?
33019After you left Mr. Ashton''s room, what did you do?
33019And he agreed?
33019And he refused?
33019And how did your daughter regard the bargain?
33019And the matter was not settled before he left you?
33019And they were--?
33019And was he satisfied with that settlement?
33019And you broke it open when you entered?
33019And you insisted upon it?
33019And you went to your room at once?
33019And you were successful?
33019And, when you have good news, you will come to The Oaks and tell us about it, will you not?
33019Are we then really friends?
33019Are you really the son of Edward Morgan?
33019At what price?
33019At what time did you retire on the night of the murder?
33019Because of what?
33019But how, after all, did the missing emerald come to be found in the cake of soap?
33019But what is it that you fear?
33019But who?
33019But why?
33019But you go to London, do n''t you? 33019 But you objected?"
33019Can you expect a sane man to believe any such folly as that?
33019Could he have fastened the window without your knowing it?
33019Did Mr. Ashton threaten to take the stone elsewhere, in case you would not agree to pay his price?
33019Did he close or open the windows or fastenings?
33019Did he know the value of the jewel?
33019Did it not occur to you that it might be in the nature of a warning?
33019Did she do so last night?
33019Did you accompany her to her room?
33019Did you by any chance observe whether or not any of the windows in the room were open?
33019Did you desire to marry him?
33019Did you do so that night?
33019Did you drop your handkerchief?
33019Did you examine the windows at once?
33019Did you go to sleep?
33019Did you have any quarrel with Mr. Ashton before he left you?
33019Did you have any reason to suspect that the jewel was hidden in the cake of soap?
33019Did you hear any footsteps or other noises in the hallway during the night?
33019Did you remove your clothing?
33019Did you retire?
33019Did you sleep?
33019Did you wake during the night?
33019Did your daughter join you?
33019Did your father know of this feeling on your part?
33019Do n''t you realize that that emerald is worth a hundred thousand pounds?
33019Do n''t you remember, Mr. Morgan, that Boris was with us when we made our examination of the green room last night? 33019 Do you know?"
33019Do you love me, dear?
33019Do you recognize it?
33019Do you see anything?
33019Do you suppose Ashton smashed in his own skull by way of amusement?
33019Do you think,she said, slowly,"that Li Min''s story of the vengeance of Buddha could really be true, after all?"
33019Does he make his own bed?
33019Had the door been locked?
33019Has Buddha been at work again? 33019 Have you a telephone in the house, Major Temple?"
33019Have you ever heard of the Cave of Dogs, near Naples?
33019Have you known him long?
33019Have you searched the attic above the room?
33019He addressed you at that time, did he not, upon the subject of marriage?
33019How could the window have been rebolted? 33019 How did Li Min come to know of it?"
33019How do you explain its presence here?
33019How far did you go?
33019How much do you want?
33019How was she dressed?
33019How were you awakened?
33019I merely asked you if such an event or events would not have been to her benefit?
33019I-- I-- Why should I answer such a question?
33019I-- I-- must I answer that question?
33019Is it possible that you suppose_ I_ had anything to do with Mr. Ashton''s death?
33019Is it really true?
33019Is n''t Boris there?
33019Is n''t that rather a large order? 33019 Is this fellow telling the truth?"
33019Me?
33019Mr. Morgan, have you anything to say in explanation of this letter?
33019Muriel,he said, in a trembling voice--"what do you mean?
33019Never saw him before?
33019On what charge?
33019Perfume?
33019Sergeant,he said,"you have the handkerchief in question with you, I believe?"
33019Shall I come in?
33019Sir,thundered the Major,"do you mean for a moment to imply that my daughter had any hand in this business?
33019The conspiracy?
33019The corner of the west wing?
33019The securing of the jewel, then, from Mr. Ashton would have released her from the arrangement?
33019Then it was not in the green room?
33019Then what did you do?
33019Then whom, in Heaven''s name?
33019Then, if Li Min had left the house by that time, you would not have known it?
33019To which you objected strongly?
33019Until what?
33019Until you heard the commotion in the hall?
33019Was it light?
33019Was it light?
33019Was it raining?
33019Was the room dark?
33019Was the stone of such value that its recovery would have been sought at so great a cost?
33019Was this unusual?
33019Was your daughter opposed to this arrangement?
33019Well, Mr. Morgan,he inquired excitedly as we came in,"what have you discovered?"
33019Were you out of the house this morning, Miss Temple, at or about the time of the murder? 33019 What are you aiming at?"
33019What conspiracy?
33019What did Mr. Morgan do?
33019What did the stone cost you-- merely the cost of the trip, was n''t it? 33019 What did you do in Exeter?"
33019What did you do then?
33019What did you do then?
33019What did you do?
33019What did you do?
33019What did you see?
33019What do you know about this thing?
33019What do you make of that, Sir?
33019What do you make of that?
33019What do you make of that?
33019What do you mean?
33019What do you mean?
33019What does it mean?
33019What does this mean?
33019What evidence?
33019What happened then?
33019What happened then?
33019What happened? 33019 What importance did you attach to that fact?"
33019What in the name of Heaven did you do that for?
33019What is the matter?
33019What kind of a bottle?
33019What on earth does he believe then?
33019What on earth is the matter? 33019 What time did you leave this house?"
33019What time was it?
33019What was Major Temple doing?
33019What was he doing?
33019What was your reply?
33019What''s the matter with your hand?
33019What''s wrong here?
33019What, then, seems more likely?
33019When did you again leave your room?
33019When did you first learn that Mr. Ashton had succeeded in his quest?
33019When did you last see Mr. Ashton alive?
33019Where can it be?
33019Where did you get the key?
33019Where did you go?
33019Where did you spend last night?
33019Where is she?
33019Where, in Exeter?
33019Which rooms, Sir, shall I show the gentlemen to?
33019Which you refused?
33019Who was it?
33019Why did Miss Temple send you this?
33019Why did you also conceal this important piece of evidence from Sergeant McQuade?
33019Why did you not go further? 33019 Why did you remove it?"
33019Why do n''t you simply say that I killed Ashton, and put the weapon in my dresser, and leave Miss Temple out of it entirely?
33019Why does he believe that?
33019Why not herself? 33019 Why,"I inquired,"did you come back?"
33019Why-- you-- what could you have been thinking of?
33019Why?
33019Why?
33019Will you tell us what you wished to say to Mr. Ashton that you regarded as so important as to take you to his room at midnight?
33019With my daughter?
33019Would the murderer have gone to all that trouble to get the stone, and then have left it behind?
33019You did not go to bed, then?
33019You did not leave your room, from the time you retired, until you heard Mr. Morgan''s cries?
33019You had a strong aversion to him?
33019You never use any?
33019You sent for me, Father?
33019You slept in the green room?
33019You were alone?
33019You were displeased with Mr. Ashton, were you not? 33019 You wrote this letter?"
33019Are you hurt?"
33019Ashton?"
33019Ashton?"
33019Ashton?"
33019But where does it come from?"
33019But would the police so regard it?
33019Can you tell us how it came to be there?"
33019Could he--?
33019Did she see anyone on the roof-- and, if so, whom?
33019Did she think for a moment that he had anything to do with Mr. Ashton''s death?
33019Do any of the other servants sleep near him?
33019Do n''t you see that--?"
33019Had she then seen him there?
33019How does he know that there was anyone upon the roof at all?"
33019How old was Boris?"
33019How, I wondered, did they know my address?
33019I came back, did I not?"
33019I was in the Indian service for fifteen years, and who did not know him, who has spent much time in that benighted country?
33019If he did, how does it happen that he used Miss Temple''s handkerchief for the purpose?
33019Is that true?"
33019Is this window usually bolted?"
33019May I ask what that perfume is, and where you procured it?"
33019Morgan''s?"
33019Morgan?"
33019Tell us about it, ca n''t you?"
33019Then I thought, what next?
33019Then McQuade remarked, in his quiet voice, with a shade of comprehension in his tone and expression:"How do you make that out, Sir?"
33019Was it he, then, that she had seen upon the roof?
33019Was she shielding her father?
33019Were you at the corner of the porch under Mr. Ashton''s room?"
33019What caused you to stop?"
33019What could they have wanted with them?"
33019What does she know, that she should speak, and for what does she seek for forgiveness?"
33019What have you learned-- anything?"
33019What is it doing here?"
33019What is your theory of the crime, Inspector Burns, upon the present evidence?
33019What on earth had she gone to London to see me for?
33019What then, could this Chinaman be searching for with such evident eagerness and anxiety?
33019What was it?"
33019What was that reward, Major Temple?"
33019When Mr. Ashton first exhibited it to you, was Mr. Morgan present?"
33019When was this?"
33019Who attends to locking the house up?"
33019Who knows?
33019Whom did you see upon the porch roof?"
33019Why do you ask?"
33019Why should she want to see you, unless you understood something between you?
33019Why should the murderer not have re- entered the house in the same way he left it?
33019Will you be so good as to tell Sergeant McQuade and myself how it happened to be in your possession?"
33019Would she, then, have had time to throw off her dress so quickly, wet and muddy as it must have been, and to change her shoes for slippers?
33019Yet whom could it possibly involve but herself?
33019You are no doubt aware that the doors of the two rooms are directly opposite each other?"
33019You arrived yesterday?"
33019You quarreled violently?"
33019he cried,"What''s wrong with you?"
26063A clerk of ours, Mr. Steel? 26063 A letter, and said that?"
26063A tall man with a red beard and hair and black eyes?
26063About nine or ten?
26063About the murder?
26063About the summons you told me of?
26063After this woman?
26063Ah, and how is that?
26063Ah,said Ware sadly,"why did you not talk like that when last we met, mademoiselle?"
26063Alexander,cried his mother harshly,"what have you been doing?"
26063Am I never to be rid of that scamp?
26063And Denham, who calls himself George Franklin, really killed Daisy?
26063And Morley visits him?
26063And an enemy that knows something about my father''s life,she said emphatically,"else why was mention made about the Scarlet Cross?
26063And did he?
26063And failing her who inherits?
26063And how did Denham earn his living?
26063And how many people have been hanged on evidence which has afterwards been proved incorrect?
26063And now I should like to know the meaning of this masquerade?
26063And now?
26063And she asked you to come over to identify the man?
26063And the Scarlet Cross?
26063And the lady? 26063 And the tall man also?"
26063And then when Powell did die?
26063And was the fact of my car being at the church gate premeditated?
26063And what about Anne?
26063And who has done this? 26063 And who may you be, sir?"
26063And why? 26063 And you doubtless wish to avenge her death by finding Miss Denham?"
26063And you forgive me?
26063And you know all about the Powell money?
26063And you read them sometimes?
26063And you will come back with us?
26063And you-- were you the wife of Walter Franklin?
26063Anne lost?
26063Anne was not drowned also, was she?
26063Anne, Anne, why did you fly?
26063Anne, I wonder if your uncle killed Daisy to inherit the money?
26063Anne,he cried in agony,"did you kill her?"
26063Anne,he said in a hoarse whisper,"you will not leave me now?"
26063Anne,he said loudly,"do you know that Anne is here?"
26063Anne-- I mean Miss Denham-- has told you about me?
26063Any family? 26063 Anything like Denham?"
26063Are you going to accuse our client of the crime?
26063Are you going to say that you were in the profession?
26063Are you leaving The Elms?
26063Are you so sure that Dane is the culprit?
26063Are you sorry?
26063Are you still at the Priory?
26063Are you strong enough, Master Giles?
26063Are you sure Morley said nothing about that?
26063Are you sure that Miss Denham is Wilson''s daughter?
26063Are you sure the elder Princess did n''t come down to see Franklin?
26063Are you sure?
26063Are you sure?
26063Are you sure?
26063At night?
26063Before he offered to serve the summons?
26063But Anne-- where can she be?
26063But Dane?
26063But I fear the case will not be finished till Morley is caught, and where am I to look for him? 26063 But Miss Anne knew nothing of all this?"
26063But how did you know about this?
26063But is it not rather a large heart you have to love two women at the same time?
26063But those three pretty little girls?
26063But what about the tall man-- what became of him?
26063But what does the pearl mean? 26063 But why should any one write such a letter about me,"said Anne, raising her hands to her forehead,"and the Scarlet Cross?
26063But why should he get Anne to do that?
26063But why should she have taken the clerk with her on the car? 26063 But your father is dead?"
26063By the grave of that poor girl who was murdered?
26063Ca n''t you guess?
26063Ca n''t you see? 26063 Can you really save Anne?"
26063Can you tell me anything about the Scarlet Cross?
26063Certainly, but for what reason?
26063Confession?
26063Daisy''s father?
26063Daisy, what is the matter?
26063Dane? 26063 Dane?"
26063Denham''s secretary?
26063Did Denham not tell you when you unmasked him at Rickwell?
26063Did Morley know that Anne was here?
26063Did Mr. Wilson come back to say that all was right?
26063Did Mrs. Morley know anything about the gang?
26063Did anyone else see her read it?
26063Did he agree?
26063Did he ask you many questions about the office?
26063Did he gamble?
26063Did he leave any luggage behind him?
26063Did he promise that?
26063Did he receive any letters?
26063Did he say he would leave the money to George?
26063Did he serve this?
26063Did her father leave her money?
26063Did no one see the car?
26063Did this scheme for Anne''s departure include the masquerade you have indulged in?
26063Did what?
26063Did you buy it?
26063Did you enter the library? 26063 Did you know that when you engaged her?"
26063Did you know your father was the owner of the yacht?
26063Did you make inquiries about her?
26063Did you offer him any inducement?
26063Did you read any letter saying that Miss Kent had inherited a fortune? 26063 Did you take your walk?"
26063Did you tell Mr. Wilson about it?
26063Did you tell Mr. Wilson this?
26063Did your father know that the money had been left at the time?
26063Did your father know what the cross meant?
26063Did your father tell you she was n''t?
26063Do I believe it? 26063 Do n''t you call a man lucky,"she said quietly,"who died like my husband in the clean waves of the sea, instead of being hanged as he deserved?"
26063Do n''t you think I shall?
26063Do n''t you think you had better leave Miss Denham alone, Daisy, seeing the mischief you have caused? 26063 Do you believe that I am, Giles?"
26063Do you believe that I had anything to do with that?
26063Do you include Miss Denham?
26063Do you know her?
26063Do you know the meaning of the Scarlet Cross?
26063Do you mean Miss Denham?
26063Do you mean to say Morley killed the girl?
26063Do you mean to say that her half- uncle Powell is dead?
26063Do you mean to say that she is Mademoiselle Olga''s sister?
26063Do you mean to say that she knows anything?
26063Do you really think so?
26063Do you really think so?
26063Do you think Morley killed the girl?
26063Do you think he is in league with Denham?
26063Do you think he killed her?
26063Do you think he knows anything?
26063Do you think it is an enemy?
26063Do you think she would tell me?
26063Do you?
26063Does he know who did?
26063Does he love her?
26063Does she know of her husband''s death?
26063Does she like anyone?
26063Does this man Franklin go about much?
26063Franklin did not tell you that she was with him, then?
26063From his broken leg? 26063 Giles Ware?"
26063Got the warrant?
26063Had he the stiletto with him?
26063Had not your husband a brother called Walter?
26063Had this Wilson eyes like mine?
26063Had your boarder red hair and a red beard?
26063Has Denham negro blood in him?
26063Has he done so?
26063Has your father any suspicion who killed Daisy?
26063Have you been to Italy, sir?
26063Have you caught her?
26063Have you ever seen a stiletto?
26063Have you found her?
26063Have you seen Olga?
26063Have you seen her?
26063Have you seen much of him?
26063Have you the note?
26063He no doubt considered it to be an eccentricity of Her Highness,said Olga, with a laugh;"a cigarette, mother?"
26063He''s your model, is he? 26063 How are we to see Dane?"
26063How can I tell when I do n''t know? 26063 How can you prophesy that?"
26063How did he know that he would inherit?
26063How did you come to discover him?
26063How did you learn all this?
26063How did you meet Dane?
26063How do you do, sir?
26063How do you hope to catch him?
26063How do you know I have a warrant?
26063How do you know I shall ever marry Anne?
26063How do you know he is?
26063How do you know it will ever take place?
26063How do you know she has negro blood?
26063How do you know that the wound is small and deep?
26063How do you know that?
26063How do you know the news will be bad?
26063How do you make that out? 26063 How do you mean, queer?"
26063How do you mean--''queer''?
26063How do you stand?
26063How is that?
26063How long did you stay in Paris?
26063How many times have I to say that?
26063How much do you know?
26063How should she know about Anne-- I mean Miss Denham?
26063How the deuce did he know that?
26063I am lucky to have caught you, then?
26063I fear that I am,he answered, laughing;"but you''ll forgive me if I assist you in your search, wo n''t you?"
26063I may, or I may not,she replied quickly;"and if you know, why not seek her out?"
26063I sent no such message,he said;"and this lady, who was she?"
26063I tell? 26063 I thought he had gone to Brighton with his wife and family?"
26063I thought you knew nothing about him?
26063I was about to say that you know where she is?
26063I wonder where he is? 26063 If she speaks like this to Mrs. Parry, what will happen?"
26063Immediately?
26063In connection with the case?
26063Is Daisy going also?
26063Is he a friend of Anne''s?
26063Is he not going also?
26063Is he tall? 26063 Is his name Walter?"
26063Is it likely that I should?
26063Is it so very difficult to understand?
26063Is n''t he a groom now?
26063Is n''t that rather quixotic on your part?
26063Is our boat safe?
26063Is she a fast boat?
26063Is she the governess?
26063Is that all?
26063Is that an original remark on your part?
26063Is that known?
26063Is that why you pretended ignorance?
26063Is the red cross the symbol of some society?
26063Is this a joke?
26063May I ask you to go?
26063Mean? 26063 Mean?
26063Miss Denham,cried Morley, greatly shocked,"what is this?"
26063Miss Denham,said the wife, who was weeping at the cruel words of the girl,"I ask you if Daisy has ever been treated harshly in my house?"
26063Miss Denham-- with Franklin-- at the Priory?
26063Morley--Giles started up on his elbow--"what do you mean?"
26063My father lived in Florence, and----"Is his name Walter Franklin?
26063My mistake?
26063Never heard of your uncle?
26063No, no; why should she have?
26063Not a lady who lost what you are looking for?
26063Not even about the Powell money?
26063Now,said Giles eagerly,"what about Anne?"
26063Of what are you talking, woman?
26063Off from Mrs. Parry,muttered Giles; then aloud,"Yes?"
26063Oh, Mr. Wilson, how can you? 26063 Oh, but is it, sir?
26063Oh, he was, was he? 26063 Oh, it''s easy saying so,"pouted Daisy,"but you know Anne----""What about Miss Denham?"
26063Oh, they did, did they, Ware? 26063 Olga, what do you mean?"
26063On what grounds, ma''am?
26063Out all night at times, and in all day? 26063 Princess Olga?"
26063Promised you?
26063Saw who lying on the grave?
26063Shall I wait for you, sir?
26063She died of a broken heart, I suppose?
26063She told you so?
26063Since when have you had suspicions of Morley?
26063Six months ago,corrected Giles gravely;"but how do you account for the fact that wherever that yacht has been burglaries have taken place?"
26063So George Franklin is your uncle and Portia your cousin?
26063So that was the motive, you think?
26063So you returned to England, thinking your father was dead?
26063Still, my friend Anne once told me----"Told you what?
26063The Morleys, what about them?
26063The Tricolor?
26063The best way to save your own skin,said Steel dryly;"you are an Irishman, are you not?"
26063The groom? 26063 Then am I to say nothing?"
26063Then did Alfred Denham have a brother of that name?
26063Then he has not left Rickwell?
26063Then it is not gratitude that keeps you silent?
26063Then she thought that on the day before the New Year you were at the office as usual?
26063Then the man at the Priory is your first husband?
26063Then the money which Denham holds as Franklin is rightfully Anne''s?
26063Then there are three servants?
26063Then where does the fortune come from?
26063Then why did he delay giving me the ring?
26063Then why did she fly?
26063Then why do n''t you ask for her help?
26063Then why do you tell now?
26063Then you admit that we have behaved well?
26063Then you really think she did it?
26063Then you think Franklin is this man?
26063They are genuine Princesses, are they not?
26063To Rickwell?
26063Told you what?
26063Very ironical, is n''t it?
26063Wait a minute,said Giles quickly,"what about your telling Steel to look after Dane?"
26063Was he not astonished when he saw you?
26063Was his broken leg the cause?
26063Was his name really Denham?
26063Was n''t your father recognized?
26063Was the stiletto in its place?
26063We are friends now?
26063We will go alone?
26063Well, Miss Denham,said Morley, his merry face more than a trifle serious,"what have you to say?"
26063What about that coin you are looking for?
26063What about that summons which was served by you on Mr. Morley, of Rickwell?
26063What about your finances?
26063What about yourself, Steel?
26063What about?
26063What did it say?
26063What do you mean, Daisy?
26063What do you mean?
26063What do you mean?
26063What do you mean?
26063What do you say,asked Steel, wrinkling his brows,"that this man killed Miss Kent?"
26063What do you think now?
26063What do you think yourself?
26063What gang?
26063What happened then?
26063What has he got to do with her?
26063What has the yacht to do with Wilson?
26063What have I done to be so troubled with such a relative as Walter?
26063What if I knew it already, mademoiselle?
26063What is all this?
26063What is it? 26063 What is our business?"
26063What is the Scarlet Cross?
26063What is the especial detail you want to learn?
26063What is the matter, Giles? 26063 What is the matter?"
26063What is the name of the man who confessed all this?
26063What is to be done?
26063What kind of a man is he?
26063What lady?
26063What newspaper did he take?
26063What would you, Mr. Ware? 26063 What''s the matter, Ware?"
26063What''s the matter?
26063What''s the news this morning, Trim?
26063What''s this?
26063What, in the very jaws of the lion? 26063 What?
26063What? 26063 What?"
26063When did he arrive, Jane? 26063 When do you return to The Elms?"
26063Where did you find it?
26063Where did you get that?
26063Where did you go?
26063Where did you go?
26063Where has she gone?
26063Where is Anne, you wretched girl?
26063Where is Anne?
26063Where is her murderess?
26063Where is the body?
26063Where is your father now?
26063Where was Morley?
26063Where?
26063Where?
26063Which? 26063 Who are you?"
26063Who had been taking the heart out of you, Ware?
26063Who is Mark Dane?
26063Who is Portia?
26063Who is he? 26063 Who is he?"
26063Who is she? 26063 Who is this Anne?"
26063Who knows?
26063Who told him I was coming?
26063Who told you all this?
26063Who was the letter from?
26063Why did I ever leave it?
26063Why did he ask her to leave the church? 26063 Why did he have those three stones set in the half- sovereign?"
26063Why did she fly, then?
26063Why did they tell you all this?
26063Why did you blame Anne for the murder?
26063Why did you cry out like that? 26063 Why did you make use of such an expression?"
26063Why did you not rescue Miss Anne,said Giles,"and save us this journey, Dane?"
26063Why did you not tell him that she was innocent?
26063Why did you not undeceive her, mademoiselle?
26063Why did you not?
26063Why did you serve the summons?
26063Why do you come here to ask about that unfortunate girl?
26063Why do you come to me?
26063Why do you hate him so?
26063Why do you say that?
26063Why not come with us to Bilbao, my lord?
26063Why not? 26063 Why not?
26063Why not? 26063 Why not?
26063Why not?
26063Why should I do that?
26063Why should I?
26063Why should I?
26063Why should he be astonished?
26063Why should he? 26063 Why should this lawyer''s clerk have gone on board?"
26063Why should you say that?
26063Why were you not here at the time I appointed?
26063Why, Daisy, what is the matter?
26063Why, Mr. Morley, what do you know of such work?
26063Why, sir, where''s the machine?
26063Why?
26063Will he do so?
26063Will you give me time to think?
26063Will you permit me to retire?
26063Would not your father let you ride and shoot, Mademoiselle Olga?
26063Would you have married her had she lived?
26063Would you marry me with this accusation hanging over me?
26063You call on Mr. Morley, I believe?
26063You did not know that at the time?
26063You do n''t like noise and excitement, Princess?
26063You have been long in England, Princess?
26063You have no evidence to----?
26063You see, mother, I fancied that I might get something if I could prove the innocence of Anne, for I----"Is any explanation needed, mademoiselle?
26063You spoke to Olga Karacsay about him under that name?
26063You will not be long, Olga? 26063 You will speak freely?"
26063You''ll come and see me again?
26063Your uncle?
26063Am I right?"
26063And Morley?"
26063And again, out all day and in for the night?"
26063And by what?"
26063And how did he manage it?"
26063And how was such permission to be obtained?
26063And now may I ask what you want?"
26063And then he had a rough red-- wig, shall we say?
26063And what are you now?"
26063And what are your movements?"
26063And who is Wilson, and why did he kill her?"
26063And you found it, Giles?"
26063And you?"
26063Anne, what do you take me for?
26063Are you cold?"
26063Are you happy after all your troubles, dearest?"
26063Artful?
26063Benker?"
26063Benker?"
26063Bloodhounds probably?"
26063But Anne?"
26063But ca n''t you tell me who killed Daisy, and thus clear yourself?"
26063But how do you know that when Morley arrived with Anne that Denham did not take fright and fly?"
26063But how is it you dare to confess, as Anne, that she killed the girl?"
26063But how was it Anne came with you?"
26063But on what terms did you leave Denham?"
26063But see here, Morley, what is the use of our discussing this matter?
26063But since you met her----""Did you hear of our meeting?"
26063But there is another crime----""What particular crime do you mean, sir?"
26063But this letter, Miss Denham?"
26063But was it her intention to go to London?
26063But what can you expect from a parcel of tradesmen?
26063But what young man could resist so beautiful a woman?
26063But where is she?"
26063But while most yachts are at anchor in a place does a burglary invariably occur?
26063But why do you wish to find my brother?
26063But why should she think I would betray the man?
26063But you are really Joe Bart?"
26063But you believe that I am innocent of this charge?"
26063But"--he started up--"you do n''t mean to say that----""That I am Joe Bart?"
26063By the way, did you know he was Wilson?"
26063By the way, how does she come to be the mother?"
26063Cairns?"
26063Can I assist you?"
26063Can you blame me?"
26063Can you help me?"
26063Can you tell me where she is to be found?"
26063Denham or the yacht?"
26063Did Morley write that anonymous letter which accused Anne?"
26063Did he go that far?"
26063Did he not tell?"
26063Did n''t Trim see them come out of the church?"
26063Did no one see the car pass out of the village?"
26063Did you inquire there?"
26063Did you see Daisy?"
26063Did you think it was some one who had to do with the anonymous letter?"
26063Do n''t you believe his story?"
26063Do n''t you see one is dressed in red, another in white, and the third in blue?
26063Do n''t you think so, too?
26063Do n''t you?"
26063Do you know her?"
26063Do you know him?
26063Do you know my name?"
26063Do you know where Anne has got to?
26063Do you know where she is?"
26063Do you mean to say----?"
26063Do you remember the anonymous letter and the reference to the Scarlet Cross?"
26063Do you remember what Keats said about one being half in love with death to be buried in so sweet a place?"
26063Do you think Denham will recover?"
26063Does Morley know?"
26063Does he think her innocent?"
26063Does she know her?"
26063Does this man intend to stop long?"
26063Franklin?"
26063Had Morley seen that letter----?
26063Had this man you think me to be two teeth missing in his lower jaw-- two front teeth?"
26063Has he a pale face and a red beard?"
26063Have you found any clue?"
26063Have you found it?"
26063He has been up to some rascality, I suppose?"
26063He is a myth?"
26063He is safe so far, but how long will he be safe?"
26063He turned to Olga and continued vehemently,"Do you think that I would have told you what I did, Princess, had I not hated the man?
26063He wants to find out where the best swag is to be found, and----""But what has all this to do with my friend Anne?"
26063Her father----""Did you know her father?"
26063How do you propose to find her, Ware?"
26063How does he look?
26063How is she disposed towards you?"
26063How much of his sad history do you know?"
26063I daresay while he was with you he kept the most irregular hours?"
26063I have no patience with those who lie in bed, and----""But what did you see?"
26063I have thieved, I have-- but what does the catalogue of my crimes matter to you, sir?
26063I met her in the park just now, Anne----""You met her in the park?"
26063I saw a man dash away----""Who was he?"
26063I wonder what they have to do with the matter?
26063I wonder why that governess helped Wilson, or rather Walter Franklin, to escape?
26063I would do much for Anne, but why should I do all?"
26063If I could only trust him?"
26063If he were all he seems, would his wife''s face wear that expression?
26063If she killed the girl her object must have been to escape herself?"
26063In what families?"
26063Is Mr. Morley dead?"
26063Is he dead or alive?
26063Is it worth while to try and trace her?"
26063Is not that the case, sir?"
26063Is she not with you?"
26063Is that it?"
26063Jealous little girl, can I not be ordinarily civil to Miss Denham without you getting angry?"
26063King''s evidence, I suppose?
26063May I ask if you are twins, sir?"
26063May I ask what you know of him?"
26063May I look?"
26063Miss Daisy Kent, who lived with Mr. Morley at Rickwell?"
26063Morley?"
26063Morley?"
26063Mrs.--Mrs.--what is your name?"
26063My poor Quixotic darling, shall I ever be worthy of such nobility?"
26063Now if he did n''t kill Miss Kent on account of the money, why did he ask the office- boy about the matter?"
26063Now you?"
26063Of course, you do n''t believe that she killed your fiancée?"
26063Oh, Giles, my darling Giles, how shall I be able to thank you for this trust?"
26063Oh, am I to lose her after all?"
26063Oh, my poor love, shall I ever be able to shelter you from the storms of life?"
26063Parry?"
26063Powell''s solicitors are Asher, Son, and Asher----""Powell?
26063Pretty?
26063Rather a late beginning at my age, eh, Ware?"
26063So you love Anne?"
26063Steel shook Alexander, and then demanded suddenly,"You copy all the letters, do you not?"
26063Steel?"
26063Steel?"
26063Suppose you tell me what has been going on in these parts?"
26063That he is this man Wilson?"
26063The brother is all right?"
26063The man who left the money to Daisy?
26063Then as Morley why should you not exercise your old skill and help me to find out who killed Daisy?"
26063Then you are not sure where she is?"
26063Ungrateful girl, how can you speak so of those who have befriended you?"
26063Ware?"
26063Ware?"
26063Ware?"
26063Ware?"
26063Ware?"
26063Warton?"
26063Was he in Jamaica?"
26063Was he well off?"
26063Was the note found?"
26063Were I guilty would I do that?"
26063What about Anne?"
26063What about my little house in Lambeth, and the dear boy-- my son Alexander-- you were so fond of?"
26063What did your mother say?"
26063What do you know about the matter?"
26063What do you know of her?"
26063What do you make of that, Ware?"
26063What do you mean?"
26063What does he say?"
26063What does it matter to me if all the foolish world think you guilty?
26063What does it mean?"
26063What does this mean?"
26063What else could I do?
26063What has this yacht to do with Miss Denham?"
26063What have you done with that money, wretched boy?"
26063What if Anne knew something about the matter after all?
26063What is the matter with her now?
26063What is to be done?"
26063What of that?"
26063What reward have I got?
26063What right has she to attract Ware and make him neglect that dear angel over there?
26063What right have you to come and steal Giles from me?"
26063What shall I do?
26063What should be the matter?"
26063What will you do?"
26063What would the rector say?
26063What''s up?"
26063When did this occur?"
26063When did this other boat start?"
26063When did you tell Mr. Wilson this?"
26063When he took his leave he asked a leading one:"Did Mr. Wilson wear a red cross as an ornament?"
26063Where are they?"
26063Where are you going?"
26063Where did he write from?"
26063Where do you live?"
26063Where does he come from?"
26063Where is he?"
26063Where is she?
26063Where is she?"
26063Where?"
26063Who are you to come into my life and spoil it?"
26063Who can have taken it?"
26063Who do you expect me to ask other than you?"
26063Who found out that Denham was masquerading as your late husband?"
26063Who is he?"
26063Who is he?"
26063Who is he?"
26063Who is the man?"
26063Who is this man you fled with to Gravesend-- with whom you went on board the yacht?"
26063Who knew but what within a few days she might be borne through that self- same gate in her coffin?
26063Who left this money to the late Miss Kent?"
26063Who was her father?
26063Why did you go out with Anne last night?"
26063Why have you come down to this dull place, Princess?"
26063Why have you come here?"
26063Why not come to The Elms with me and speak to Franklin yourself?
26063Why not recommence your detective life with searching out this case?"
26063Why should I threaten Daisy?"
26063Why should he go?
26063Why should you ask me such a question?
26063Why?"
26063Will you allow me, Mr. Ware, to present you to my mother?"
26063Will you call and see him?"
26063Will you explain?"
26063Will you have another cup of coffee?
26063Wilson?"
26063Would you have called him a gentleman?"
26063Would you prefer a cigar?"
26063You gave it to someone to serve?"
26063You go across the moor----""My good Ware, have I lived all these years in this place without knowing it as well as I know my own nose?
26063You have not heard a lady speak of me?"
26063You keep dogs, do you?
26063You know about that also?"
26063You know where she is?"
26063You left the room with him?"
26063You remember the letter, Steel?"
26063You say you know something about this matter?"
26063a wife?"
26063cried Mrs. Benker, astounded,"was he that dangerous?"
26063do you not believe her guilty?"
26063he cried,"can you sit there and tell me that your own niece killed that poor girl?"
26063moaned the Princess, wringing her hands;"what would your father say if he heard?"
26063said Dane, flinging back his head,"what have I to be grateful for?
26063said Mrs. Parry, rubbing her nose with a teaspoon,"wants to hear the news, does he?
26063said Ware, rather astonished by the extent of Mrs. Parry''s information,"did the servants tell you all this?"
26063said the little man thoughtfully,"then you_ did_ love Miss Denham?"
26063what is the matter?"
29400''I''m ready,''I said,''but what''s it all about?'' 29400 ''What have you come for?''
29400''What then?'' 29400 A dead what?
29400Ah, but you did not do it in the way I mean? 29400 Ah, who else?"
29400Am I mad?
29400An Oxford man?
29400And Spurling-- if Spurling dwells near us in the uttermost parts of the earth?
29400And after that, when you got better, did the half- breed leave you undisturbed or did he come back?
29400And are you going to desert me and turn me out?
29400And how about the girl?
29400And how can I help you?
29400And if he does n''t get so far as that?
29400And if he does, what of that? 29400 And shall I be the first man who has gone back on his prayers and promises?
29400And then, if you survive?
29400And there are things which you need not tell him?
29400And what d''you make of that?
29400And what do you propose doing?
29400And what do you think of a man who could do that?
29400And when all the fighting was done, did the soldiers get after you?
29400And why Mordaunt?
29400And why did n''t you tell me everything at first?
29400And why not?
29400And why not?
29400And you have not seen Spurling go by the Point?
29400And you think that when the Mounted Police have hanged him that it will be all right, and I shall stay here?
29400And, if I do as you ask me, what will happen to Spurling?
29400Another reminder?
29400As for Spurling, you hated him, did you not?
29400But Eyelids knows where we are, and he may betray us?
29400But I thought you said just now that he always sided with Spurling when it came to a dispute?
29400But is n''t there some place where we sha n''t be overheard?
29400But listen to me this once, for we may never meet again; who knows, in this land of death? 29400 But shall I know?
29400But what has this got to do with the half- breed?
29400But what will you do when I am gone, and you yourself will be needing help?
29400But why fear? 29400 But why now and at once?"
29400But why?
29400But you-- did you do it?
29400But, man, do n''t you realise that our interests are the same?
29400Did Spurling know that she was a woman when he shot her?
29400Did Spurling murder him?
29400Did he do that? 29400 Did he ever tell you anything about himself, where he came from, who were his family, or anything like that?"
29400Did he stop here all summer?
29400Did you hear what he said? 29400 Did you hear what he said?"
29400Did you row in the Eight?
29400Do n''t I?
29400Do n''t you know how I suffer? 29400 Do you know what name the Indians have given to that old man?"
29400Do you know whether he is on his way back?
29400Do you like it?
29400Do you understand?
29400Does El Dorado seem more possible to you now?
29400Does he mean to kill me?
29400Does that seem a strange judgment to pass on you here in Keewatin? 29400 For some one else?"
29400Granger, how did you get that?
29400Have they come to take us?
29400Have you seen Beorn?
29400He might hide, and I might pass him on the way-- what then?
29400How clean?
29400How do you know that?
29400How old was he?
29400How should I have done it?
29400How should I know? 29400 I and seven others,"laughed Granger;"but what brings you up here at this time?"
29400I suppose I seem to you a pretty mean kind of a beast?
29400I think I''ve heard enough from you on that point,he said;"suppose we drop this discussion and get the canoe ready?"
29400I think he would say,''John Granger, by how much are you better than Spurling, whom you condemn?''
29400If it was not God, then who else?
29400Is he? 29400 Is it Eyelids again?"
29400Is it Granger?
29400Is there nothing in between?
29400John Granger, are you there?
29400Nonsense,said the voice of hope,"to where can he be travelling at this season of the year unless to Murder Point?
29400Of what are they afraid?
29400Oh, so you know that?
29400Oh, you will, will you? 29400 One night a miner come to my cabin, an''he said,''Are you ready to fight for the Fair- Haired Annie?''
29400Only suspected?
29400Peggy,he said,"what should we do in the forest, if we went there and joined your mother''s tribe?
29400Peggy,he said,"you heard what we were saying in the cabin?
29400Père Antoine, do you think we ought to look at it?
29400Since when?
29400So you are not afraid of death?
29400So you know that also-- that he shot her? 29400 So you were sorry for the men you killed?"
29400So you were tempted to let me drown myself, and now you are repentant?
29400So you''re a hero in disguise?
29400Spurling, Spurling,he called,"did you know that Mordaunt was a woman and not a man?"
29400Sure of what? 29400 Surely you do n''t still distrust me?
29400Tell me once and for all,he cried,"has anything happened to him?
29400Tell me, is he dead?
29400Tell me, who was it that was killed?
29400The truth about himself? 29400 Then do you mean to tell me that I lied?"
29400Then in a choking whisper I muttered,''Who are you?'' 29400 Then this is the store of Garnier, Parwin, and Wrath, to which I was directed by Robert Pilgrim of God''s Voice?"
29400Then why did you come if you could not trust me?
29400Then why did you leave me?
29400Then why have you done so now?
29400Then why?
29400Then you are determined to die?
29400Then you have had no one here lately?
29400Then you must be Strangeways?
29400Then you''re travelling in haste?
29400Then, what?
29400Then, why did n''t you?
29400Then?
29400To get to El Dorado? 29400 Was it a girl?
29400Was it for that crime that you fled, till you came at last to Keewatin for safety?
29400Was it from Strangeways?
29400Was it river gold that you found on the Comstock? 29400 We have not learnt very much about her from those two letters, have we?"
29400Well?
29400What are we coming here for?
29400What are you doing?
29400What college?
29400What does that matter? 29400 What have you been doing all this time?"
29400What have you there?
29400What is it, Peggy?
29400What is it?
29400What is it?
29400What made you say that?
29400What makes you say that?
29400What meeting? 29400 What men come from the west at this season?
29400What was it that he said?
29400What was it that you saw over there?
29400What was that I said just now?
29400What was there to avenge? 29400 What would you advise?"
29400What would you say,he added,"if I were to tell you that it could all come back again?"
29400What''s her name?
29400What''s that you''re saying?
29400What''s that?
29400What''s the matter now,he asked;"are you so badly cut up at parting with such dear friends?"
29400What''s the matter?
29400What''s your name?
29400What?
29400Where did you get it?
29400Where''d I got to? 29400 Where''s Peggy?"
29400Where, where must I look for help?
29400Whether I judge kindly or not, will you try to take my advice? 29400 Who did it, then?"
29400Who told you that? 29400 Who told you that?"
29400Who told you?
29400Who were all around you?
29400Why did he tell you?
29400Why do you hope so,he asked in a hard voice;"because of the money?"
29400Why do you say that?
29400Why must we torture him? 29400 Why not, Peggy?
29400Why not?
29400Why will you fear to die?
29400Why, what''s the matter?
29400Why? 29400 Why?"
29400Will you answer me?
29400Wo n''t you help me to take the one chance of life that I think I have?
29400Yes, it''s Spurling,replied the traveller in a hoarse, uneager voice; then,"Has anyone been here before me?"
29400You are sure of that?
29400''What better right has Spurling to this gold than I?''
29400''What d''you want?''
29400''What went ye out for to seek?''
29400''Who sent you here?''
29400''Why should n''t I tell Granger?''
29400Addressing himself to Granger,"And what lies ahead?"
29400After some seconds spent in silent gazing,"Well, and what d''you want?"
29400An''what were they goin''to fight about?
29400And I''d like to know who you are to speak to me like this?
29400And after that?
29400And d''you think that I do n''t see through your game?"
29400And did she know that there were a thousand dollars offered for Spurling''s capture?
29400And do you still think that they have gone to tell the Mounted Police only in order that Spurling may be arrested?"
29400And how had he managed to escape, if he had not been helped?
29400And if he recaptured it, what then?
29400And if he should die, whose fault would that be?
29400And if the sun is a cynic, who can blame him?
29400And next he said,"I wonder what were his last words when he crashed through the ice?
29400And pray who are you now?"
29400And was she clothed in a woman''s dress?"
29400And what there is to lose your temper about?
29400And what would Chance do next?
29400And when, hoping to satisfy their curiosity by a less direct method, they had questioned him,"What did you see up there?"
29400And why was Strangeways dead?
29400And yet what?
29400Antoine tapped him on the arm gently, looking him full in the face with his grave, penetrating eyes:"And did not God Himself arrive too late?"
29400At last Père Antoine said,"So you are sure that you did not do it?"
29400At length Granger answered him:"It may be true, and if so, what follows?"
29400At what time?"
29400But after you''d discovered the mine, what did you do then?
29400But can I believe that?"
29400But if you, with all your goodness, are banished from her whom you loved most on earth, how can I hope for success?"
29400But the boy''s mother had only smiled sadly, saying,"Is he not yet undeceived?"
29400But to get to the place on the Forbidden River where this gold was found?
29400But what are we to do with the half- breed woman-- your wife?
29400But what did that matter to one who did not fear death?
29400But what makes you ask these questions?
29400But what of their souls, the starvation of their minds?
29400But what secrets of importance could they have, dwelling as they did on the Last Chance?
29400But where did you find him?"
29400But who?
29400Can you guess how that sentence was going to end?"
29400Could it be Spurling, he wondered, who had made a compact with them and lay in hiding there?
29400Could it be that he also was playing in the game?
29400Could it be that the fault was his own, and that he had misjudged this man?
29400Could it have been Mordaunt?
29400Could n''t I, by making the world a present of his knowledge, buy back my life?
29400Crouching still nearer, so that he might narrow the space between them,"Strangeways, are you listening?"
29400Did Strangeways know that?
29400Did he still believe him to be guilty, as he had evidently done at first?
29400Did he think of that girl, and that he was going to meet her?
29400Did not that in some measure make amends?
29400Did she know that?
29400Did she still remember him?
29400Did that not make amends?
29400Did the old man come back?"
29400Did they think that he was in danger, and required protecting?
29400Do you call it fair play when a nation sets out to hunt one man?
29400Do you know why it is that the Mounted Police are after me?
29400Do you think that he would pity the black- guard who could do such a scoundrelly deed as that?"
29400Do you think that you recognise him?"
29400Do you think that, if I supposed that he had got his arms around her over there, I could ever rest-- if I thought that she would allow him?
29400Does El Dorado seem more possible to you now?"
29400Does he suffer the pain of the man who follows behind?
29400Does it sound too much like the speech of a city man?
29400Facing about suddenly, he asked,"Is there any way out of here, except down there?"
29400For what reason?
29400Four battalions of men in want, and how many children and women does that represent?
29400Granger broke in upon the frenzy of his appeal, asking abruptly,"Where is Mordaunt now?"
29400Granger shrugged his shoulders,"And the half- breed?"
29400Had Beorn, having found that his cache at the Forbidden River had been broken into, dispatched his son to follow up the thief and exact revenge?
29400Had Christ been the vision which this man had seen?
29400Had Strangeways stepped out from his grave to taunt him with the futility of his own words, which had been spoken to comfort him in his distress?
29400Had he come across traces of Spurling and gone in pursuit of him?
29400Had he heard from some stray Indian that Spurling was an outlaw, with a price upon his head?
29400Had he mocked God consciously in making Him responsible for those crimes, and in attributing to Him their inspiration?
29400Had he suffered all that punishment as yet, or was there worse to follow?
29400Had she also loved him, and not dared to speak about it?
29400Had she made her fortune up there out of their last big strike?
29400Had she regretted him, and had she sometimes, when Spurling had become intolerable, gone aside and wept?
29400Had they not brought Spurling from Winnipeg, and had not their yellow- faced leader been the cause of Strangeways''death?
29400Had they stumbled across the grave of Strangeways, and wondered what it meant?
29400Have n''t you seen such an one go by within the last twenty- four hours?"
29400He ca n''t defend himself; see, his back is turned?"
29400He had caught hold of a point of ice and was trying to pull himself up by that; but something( was it the swiftness of the current?)
29400He had long despaired of winning; the only question which now troubled him was"How long shall I be able to fight?"
29400He may have been asking himself,"For the lack of one small untruth, shall I thrust this man into Hell?"
29400He might just as well have said,"Shall I shoot her while you go outside and scrape out her grave?"
29400He paused; then he asked in a low voice,"You were thinking of London and the old times?"
29400He recollected how some one had once asked Carlyle,"Why does the Past always seem so much happier than the Present?"
29400He seized hold of Spurling by the throat with both hands, and shook him violently, crying,"What was her name?
29400He shuddered, and seizing the priest by the arm, speaking hoarsely with suppressed excitement, exclaimed,"Where did he come from?
29400He supposed that Spurling must be sleeping, so he called to him,"Spurling, Spurling, are you there?"
29400He turned to Spurling a face which had grown thin with earnestness,"Druce, tell me quickly,"he said,"how long will it take us to get there?"
29400He turned to the girl at his side to question her,"Did you know that they were going there?"
29400He wondered, had he lied or told the truth when he asserted that the body was not Mordaunt''s which was found at Forty- Mile?
29400How d''you like the sound of it?
29400How did he discover it?"
29400How did she die?
29400How did she know that?
29400How did you know that it was n''t''Die,''that I wanted to say?"
29400How had Robert Pilgrim guessed that?
29400How had she construed his sudden and unexplained departure?
29400How he had spoken to his comrades about it, and they had questioned him,"What is it like?
29400How large?"
29400How would an upright woman answer a man whom she had just saved from homicide?
29400I require it no longer, now that I am dead?"
29400If Spurling had murdered her, if he had lied to him and_ she_ was his partner, what then?
29400If a man dies, he may live again; but if his soul is snatched from him, what is there left that can survive?
29400If the beast was indeed Beorn''s soul, then why was it exiled there, on the Forbidden River?
29400If the fire went out, what matter?
29400If theft was not the object, why had the body been left?
29400If you consent to what I have asked of you, give me a sign?
29400In my horror I told Mordaunt everything-- and what do you think the little fellow did?
29400Is he dead?"
29400Is it shallow or rapid?
29400It made him ask himself that question, which so many had asked before him,"_ And are we really ever dead_?"
29400It was as if he had said,"So the old things are possible, are they, you villain?
29400Might he not be the bearer of important and good news from the homeland?
29400Now do you understand?
29400Now do you understand?"
29400Now will you tell me, once and for all, was this girl, whom Spurling murdered, called Mordaunt?
29400Or had their owner once come to trade with him at the store?
29400Or of his school- days?
29400Or of the old home in England?
29400Or was Spurling dead, and had Eyelids killed him, for which reason he was afraid to come back?
29400Or was he only mad?
29400Pray, who were you fearful of murdering?"
29400Presently he stood erect, and asked in a low voice,"Did you do that?"
29400Pretty?
29400Père Antoine, you know many things, what kind of words were those, do you suppose, that God spoke to Spurling?"
29400Shall I be conscious of that?"
29400So you knew that much, did you?"
29400So you were one of the Klondike men?
29400Speaking to himself, as is the habit of men who have lived many months alone in the aboriginal silence of the North,"Well, and what next?"
29400Stepping briskly over to Shattuck he inquired,"Any need of handcuffs to- night, Sergeant?"
29400Strange how one gets knocked about by life, is n''t it?
29400Strangeways lifted his eyes and surveyed Granger, asking himself,"And is this statement also a lie?"
29400Strangeways stood in angry thought for a few seconds; then he jerked up his head, and asked,"Can you lend me another team of huskies?
29400Strangeways turned on him his honest, manly gaze, as if he were about to ask again,"Is that the truth?"
29400Surely, they should be travelling in the opposite direction, going towards God''s Voice?"
29400Tell me, what is it that you want me to do for you?
29400The first question that they''ll ask him will be,''And what have you come here for?''
29400The impression which his mode of travelling conveyed was that of flight; but from whom and whither can a man flee in Keewatin?
29400The question was repeated,"And why Mordaunt?"
29400The stranger paused in doubt, as though choosing the best words to say; then he blurted out,"But you''re a gentleman?"
29400The terrible question throbbed through his mind,"Is Mordaunt dead?"
29400Then Granger spoke,"Well, and what is to be done?"
29400Then he asked significantly,"And now what are you going to do with her?"
29400Then the little boy would ask,"But, Grandpa, is it true, or is it only a faery- tale?
29400Then where was Spurling?
29400Then why had he gone to the west?
29400Then, raising himself on his elbow, he asked her plainly,"Is that what Eyelids has gone to get?"
29400Then, remembering himself, he asked suspiciously,"But what d''you know about it?"
29400Then, was it Spurling?
29400Then, when he received no answer, he asked,"What is it that you have done?"
29400Then, while he thought with closed eyes, that awful question came again,"Is Mordaunt dead?"
29400Then, with a touch of bitterness in his tones, he asked,"And what''s that for?"
29400Then,"Where?
29400Therefore he broke in on Granger roughly, inquiring,"Where are those huskies which you are going to lend me?"
29400They sat in silence awhile, and then Granger said,"And if God were to speak to me, what question would He ask?"
29400Three separate voices spoke clamorously at once:"Is Mordaunt dead?"
29400To all of this Beorn listened with small attention, for he kept muttering to himself,"But how did he know that there was gold there?
29400Was Strangeways conscious of his body''s release, and the permission which death had given him to wander forth?
29400Was he arguing out some dreadful problem within himself?
29400Was he conscious of this new adventure?
29400Was her name Mordaunt, and was she his partner, and did she wear a man''s disguise?"
29400Was his mind a blank through weariness?
29400Was it Antoine?"
29400Was it Beorn and Peggy?
29400Was it before he left England, or in the Klondike?
29400Was it gone forever?
29400Was it possible that he also was intent on helping Spurling?
29400Was it the return of Eyelids that made them so expectant?
29400Was it to hide?
29400Was she anything like the portrait of this young girl?"
29400Was there ever such a city, and does it exist to- day?"
29400Was there not enough of ignominy for him to endure without that?
29400Was this Spurling?
29400Were they prompting him to crime, saying,"Why do n''t you fire?
29400What about that man whom you say that you killed, whose body was washed up near Forty- Mile?"
29400What do you mean?"
29400What do you propose to do?"
29400What do you think about it?"
29400What good was the gold to me when I got it?
29400What had he meant by saying that he was perhaps preventing him from being hanged?
29400What had she thought of him?
29400What had they ever seen that was essentially beautiful and free?
29400What have I done to deserve such courtesy at the hands of Fate?
29400What if in giving him the warrant and showing him the portrait, he had told him too much-- more than his courage and honesty could bear?
29400What makes you hate him so?
29400What news?
29400What troubles me at present is, how is this woman feeling about my marriage with a half- breed girl?
29400What was Père Antoine doing?
29400What was she doing at the present time?
29400What was the meaning of such precaution?
29400What was the motive of their conduct?
29400What was there to avenge?"
29400What were they anticipating?
29400What were they waiting for?
29400What would his proud old mother say to a little half- breed grandchild?
29400What''s that?"
29400When Granger could make his voice heard,"You do n''t mean that she was Mordaunt?"
29400When I had grown quiet,''Who sent you here?''
29400When he had offered him some tobacco, the Indian, jerking his head in the direction of the body, asked,"You kill him?"
29400Where had he seen them before?
29400Where was Jervis now?
29400Where was she?
29400Which of us, do you suppose, is the cleaner man?"
29400Who could have helped him save Granger?
29400Who was it that he had known in the past who had driven his dogs left- handed, and had had that swinging, plunging stride?
29400Who was this friend who had been shot?
29400Why ca n''t we leave him alone, and lay him decently in his grave?"
29400Why did you dream of El Dorado when you were in London?
29400Why did you go to the Forbidden River?"
29400Why do I stay?
29400Why had Spurling come back?
29400Why had he been ordered to destroy the note immediately when read?
29400Why had n''t he killed all ten huskies outright, and so prevented Strangeways from pursuing farther until the break- up of the ice?
29400Why not?
29400Why should he trouble to inquire?
29400Why should men want to hang me?"
29400Why''d you kill him?"
29400Will I tell you why?
29400Will you tell me that?"
29400Would I do that, do you think, if I believed you to be a guilty man?"
29400Would the worst that he could expect be death?
29400Yet, at the back of his mind a voice was persistently questioning,"Do I believe him?
29400You ai n''t a Mormon, are you?"
29400You did not kill him with the strength of your hands?"
29400You do n''t think me such a sneak that, having got you out of the way, I''d let him slip by and out?"
29400You think that?
29400Your Papa was very kind to me once, but why has he scent me away from you?
29400and, do you know, that scar on the old man''s face is in the same place as the wound which I gave the timber- wolf?"
29400growled Spurling, as they stopped at the door of the hall;"why ca n''t we go to the shack?
29400he exclaimed,"have all men felt like that?
29400is that his body over there?"
32269A cipher, eh?
32269About three?
32269Afraid of an attack after dark, professor?
32269Afraid the hobgoblins will kidnap us?
32269Am I supposed to fit into that thing?
32269And that is?
32269And what would you want with the Golden Mouse, if I may inquire?
32269Any ideas?
32269Are you a Eurasian?
32269Are you now?
32269Are you sure?
32269Bill, what kind of numbers are they?
32269Bill? 32269 Bobby sox or bobby pin?"
32269Bring that light here, will you, professor?
32269Busy how?
32269But from where?
32269But how did you know about nulls?
32269But may I ask why?
32269But where did they come from in the first place?
32269But will you know yer outside? 32269 But you did n''t see anything except the shadow?"
32269But you know what I think this is? 32269 Can I help you, lads?"
32269Can you tell us where it is?
32269Chahda? 32269 Chahda?"
32269Could n''t we look into this cave tonight? 32269 Could n''t we stir it up?
32269Dark in here, is n''t it?
32269Did you bring him along as an adviser, Mom? 32269 Did you see anyone?"
32269Do I wash out my mouth with soap or do I get a medal?
32269Do n''t suppose you''d consider substituting a pink rabbit? 32269 Do you know Long Shadow?"
32269Do you know that name, Dad?
32269Does n''t saying he has reconsidered mean that he''ll go?
32269Does that mean anything?
32269Dragon blood, huh? 32269 Eh?
32269Golden Mouse, you say? 32269 Have n''t you solved that cipher yet?"
32269Have you ever met Ko before?
32269How about Captain Douglas? 32269 How about letting a Hong Kong police doctor take a look at it?"
32269How about starting with that odd letter?
32269How about that?
32269How come Canton Charlie did n''t turn you over to the enemy as he did us?
32269How did you know Ko had a glass eye?
32269How do you know you ca n''t figure it out? 32269 How do you like the customer over there?
32269How do you start on a job like this?
32269How does one destroy a body of water?
32269How many more days to Korse Lenken?
32269How you see in dark?
32269I wonder how long we''ll have to sit in this flea bag?
32269I''m only speculating,Zircon replied,"but might n''t that have been a police boat on regular patrol?
32269Is he wrong?
32269Is n''t Whiteaway- Laidlaw in Bombay?
32269Is n''t that right, colleague?
32269It will be good to get back to our peaceful lab, eh, lads?
32269Just to satisfy my curiosity,Scotty asked,"why did your men capture us, then bundle us into the boats and bring us here?
32269Mighty funny how everything was arranged for us at Canton Charlie''s, was n''t it? 32269 My boss not come yet?"
32269No? 32269 Notice the regularity of the slope?
32269Now what?
32269Now what?
32269Of course you have testing equipment?
32269Perhaps I can be of service, sir? 32269 Remember he said something about a job in his last letter?
32269Remember the letter L? 32269 Shall we get to it?"
32269Should I get my frying pan again?
32269Since when do five people make a mob?
32269Suppose we tie a few stalactites to your feet, and Ko''s, and see how long it takes for you to get down to where the heavy water is?
32269The biggest one being: Where is Chahda?
32269The suspicious one would n''t be able to tell what? 32269 Then what do we do with him?"
32269Then why the gloom?
32269Then you''ll go?
32269We can keep on thinking while we eat, ca n''t we?
32269We''ll need money, but why do all of us have to go see the consul? 32269 Well, Mr. Ko,"he said,"you got a little surprise, did n''t you?"
32269Well, what do we do now?
32269Were you going to use that grenade as a calling card?
32269Western Union? 32269 What about Ko?"
32269What are these?
32269What are they?
32269What are we hunting for?
32269What are we supposed to do?
32269What are we waiting for?
32269What caused you to reconsider?
32269What could it mean but twelve?
32269What did he look like?
32269What do we do now, professor?
32269What do we do with our fat chum?
32269What do you make of that, Dad?
32269What do you make of that?
32269What happened?
32269What have you got?
32269What is it?
32269What is this, a meeting of the Silent Three? 32269 What kept you so long?
32269What kind of bad name?
32269What kind of cover?
32269What makes you think so?
32269What now for you? 32269 What now?"
32269What other?
32269What was it that he discovered?
32269What will Zircon do for a rifle?
32269What''s a null?
32269What''s a prairie moose?
32269What''s going on here?
32269What''s it going to be like with a mob of strangers galloping all over the place?
32269What''s that?
32269What''s that?
32269What''s the Nansen bottle for?
32269What''s the matter, Dad?
32269What,he demanded,"is the meaning of this?"
32269What?
32269Whatever got into you?
32269Where do we camp tonight?
32269Where is he?
32269Where to?
32269Where''s it from?
32269Where''s the junk?
32269Where''s there?
32269Which one did he memorize? 32269 Which one?"
32269Which way do I go?
32269Which way?
32269Who are you?
32269Who is Carl Bradley?
32269Who is Long Shadow?
32269Who knows if the old High Lama might not be waiting? 32269 Who wants to go back?"
32269Who you callin''a ruddy ox, you little blighter?
32269Who''s on the wire?
32269Who''s this? 32269 Why did n''t you yell?"
32269Why do you think Canton Charlie did n''t deliver the message himself?
32269Why not admit it and co- operate? 32269 Why not report it right now?"
32269Why not?
32269Why?
32269Why?
32269Will you have dinner at the table with us, or shall I ask mother to break out some emergency rations so you can stay on the job?
32269Wonder what he''s going to give us?
32269Wonder what''s keeping Canton Charlie?
32269Would Chahda have a 1912 edition with him in Singapore? 32269 Would n''t it be better for me to go ahead and use the infrared beam with the glasses?
32269You are stiff? 32269 You do n''t suppose it was Chahda?"
32269You do, do n''t you, Rick?
32269You expect to treat yourself?
32269You taking the movie camera along?
32269You''re Americans?
32269A girl would make the group look even less suspicious, would n''t it?"
32269After a moment, he asked,"Scotty, how would you like it if an expedition left Spindrift and we were n''t with it?"
32269Am I supposed to gather that you do n''t have the key to the cipher?"
32269And what happens?
32269And where were you all that time?"
32269And who were they?
32269And why are you so excited about it?"
32269And why?
32269And why?
32269Any questions?
32269Are n''t you all fired up with curiosity?"
32269Are you satisfied?"
32269As Zircon tipped the Chinese bearers, Rick asked them,"What time is it?"
32269As they unpacked, Scotty asked,"Is it safe to leave our rifles, and Rick''s camera and that scientific stuff you brought?"
32269Barby asked impatiently,"How do we know?"
32269But are they also good with code?
32269But could a single candle have that much effect?
32269But golly, you do n''t get heavy water out of natural water, do you?"
32269But how do we get to the Caves of Fear?"
32269But how to take it by surprise?
32269But if there''s a null in this, which figure is it?"
32269But who would have much excitement about ice?
32269But why all the long faces?
32269But why did n''t he have time?"
32269By the way, where is the Schmeisser?
32269Ca n''t you see?
32269Can you or Scotty pick it up?"
32269Chahda, do you see anything?"
32269Chahda, have you seen men with water bags heading out of here?
32269Could n''t we hunt prairie moose instead?"
32269Do you happen to have a spoon seven hundred feet long?"
32269Do you know the penalty for a double cross in the espionage racket?"
32269Do you remember the code our former friend used when he was sending messages off the island?"
32269Do you suppose Chahda would know about nulls?"
32269Going to stay in the Far East for a while?"
32269Had he been blinded in that eye?
32269Had he wound it before coming to the cave?
32269Had it been only a short while, or so many hours that his watch had run down?
32269Had n''t he read a story when he was a kid about some children who had left a trail of crumbs only to have the birds eat them?
32269Hartson Brant asked,"Then you will consider Zircon as my substitute?
32269Hartson Brant paused in the act of filling his pipe and asked curiously,"How do you know so much about Asiatic animals, Steve?"
32269Have you ever heard of Lake Baikal?"
32269He asked,"Is something wrong with the Golden Mouse?
32269Heavy water?
32269Hobart, want to pick up where we left off?"
32269How about it, Steve?"
32269How about this''L''in front of his name?"
32269How about you?"
32269How can twins less than a year old trample anyone''s garden?"
32269How could you?"
32269How had Chahda ever heard of this place?
32269How had Chahda heard of a place in such a poor quarter of the city?
32269However, perhaps you will tell us how long it will take to get out of here?"
32269I assume there are wounded?
32269I think I know what the first two are, but what in the name of a blue baboon is a cyberneticist?"
32269I wonder what kind?"
32269If not, why so many?"
32269Incidentally, do you have a spare?"
32269Is it supposed to be a tourist place do you know?"
32269Is that true?"
32269Is that''s what''s been bothering you?"
32269Know what a nuclear reactor is, Rick?"
32269Men with anything at all suspicious about them?"
32269Not until they were on the main street was there quiet enough for conversation, then Zircon demanded,"Would you mind giving us an explanation?
32269Now tell us what is peculiar about all isotopes?"
32269Now that he had reached the opposite shore, what was he to do?
32269Now what?"
32269Now, my next question is: Who was the Eurasian who got together with Keaton- Yeats?"
32269Now, what are we to do?"
32269Now, which of the entrances do we try first?
32269Only suppose they catch us by surprise?"
32269Or had he found a hide- out in the village itself?
32269Or had they managed to keep to the right trail by following the tiny drops of candle wax?
32269Or was it weeks?
32269Professor, what is this transparent stuff inside?"
32269Rick demanded swiftly,"You''re not going to object, are you, Dad?"
32269Rick, is n''t yours a scout knife?"
32269Scotty, find the first- aid kit, please?
32269Sing, where do you suppose Ko''s mules are?"
32269Suppose I start at the beginning?"
32269Ten thousand miles from home, in the worst dive in Hong Kong, and what do we drink?
32269The coolie who spoke the best English asked, hesitantly,"You pay now, sor?
32269The question is, which way do we go now?"
32269To whom?
32269Want to place a call to Washington for me?"
32269Was his friend hiding somewhere in the mountains around Korse Lenken?
32269Was it Long Shadow?
32269Was the Tibetan leading him out of the caves?
32269We go?"
32269We no wait here, yes?"
32269Were they gathering for a rush?
32269Were they lost, too?
32269What chance have we in a fight?"
32269What do you boys think of this strange shadow?"
32269What if Long Shadow and Ko intended loading them in the boats?
32269What is heavy water?
32269What on earth was Chahda doing in Singapore?
32269What to do?"
32269What was he to do?
32269What was it?
32269What was more logical than to assume that the Tibetan had been heading for the hidden plant where heavy water was being produced?
32269What we want to know is, why?"
32269What''ll you drink?"
32269What''ll you drink?"
32269What''ll you have?"
32269What''s up?"
32269What?
32269When can we pick it up?"
32269When did Chahda learn anything about codes?"
32269Where are you?"
32269Where did that other chap go to?"
32269Where does it come from?"
32269Where is the Indian boy?"
32269Where was Chahda now?
32269Where''s the big light?"
32269Which of them would fit your requirements best?"
32269Which one did he use?"
32269Which way?
32269While they waited, Scotty asked,"What happened to you, Rick?"
32269Who knows?
32269Why borrow trouble in advance?"
32269Why do n''t we get busy?"
32269Why not try a bobby?"
32269Why was your door locked?"
32269Why would he say to bring a Nansen bottle if not to take a sample from the lake?"
32269Why you take so long?"
32269Would n''t they miss the Tibetan and the boat?
32269You find Bradley?"
32269You know?"
32269You say Charlie told you to go to this junk?"
32269Zircon asked,"You know street called Three Blind Fishermen?"
29498A detective?
29498About what?
29498And Miss Norman''s gone, you say?
29498And Mr. Perkins, the elder Mr. Perkins, I mean, is he the lawyer?
29498And a thin, rather cruel mouth?
29498And the maid of whom you speak?
29498And what has become of it?
29498And who is Ruth Morton?
29498And why did Mrs. Duvall go there?
29498And you have n''t found out anything yet?
29498Anything else you would like to see?
29498Anything new?
29498Anything new?
29498Anything wrong?
29498Are you Martin Leary?
29498Are you Miss Norman?
29498Are you acquainted with Miss Ruth Morton?
29498Are you all right, Miss Morton?
29498Are you pining for a little trip to New York yourself? 29498 Are you sure you really saw someone leaning over you?
29498Are you sure?
29498Are you through with this inquisition now?
29498Before you gave the man the telegram where was it?
29498But how could the letter possibly have been placed where you found it, without your knowledge? 29498 But where shall we go to-- what hotel?"
29498But why so soon, if we are taking the sleeper?
29498But why? 29498 But, you will come back?
29498But,Duvall objected,"who could have taken it?"
29498But-- Why not?
29498But-- how could harm come of it?
29498But-- what was a monkey doing here?
29498But-- where is Miss Norman? 29498 But-- why not?"
29498But-- why-- why?
29498Can I be of any assistance?
29498Can you tell me where this telegram was sent from?
29498Central office?
29498Did you ever see the woman before?
29498Did your daughter see it?
29498Do I look like one?
29498Do either of you know where this photograph was made?
29498Do n''t you see? 29498 Do you deny it, then?"
29498Do you deny that?
29498Do you know a chauffeur named Martin Leary?
29498Do you notice the spots of black wax on the candlestick?
29498Do you remember driving me uptown an hour or so ago?
29498Do you think I had better place the matter in the hands of the postal authorities?
29498Do you think you would recognize the woman who gave you the card, last night?
29498Do you want me to send her any word, ma''am?
29498Does Leary sleep there?
29498Fainted? 29498 Find what you were looking for?"
29498Flight, eh?
29498Has your daughter any enemy, who might envy her her success, and wish to deprive her of it?
29498Have n''t you a ladder-- a rope?
29498Have n''t you any good news, yet?
29498Have n''t you finished your letters yet?
29498Have you discovered anything?
29498Have you hit upon any theory to account for the sending of these letters?
29498Have you received any more threats?
29498Have you seen Ruth?
29498Have you seen her to- day?
29498Her sister?
29498Here?
29498How are you going to do it?
29498How could these people have known we were here?
29498How did you know where I was?
29498How did you think Mrs. Duvall could have gotten back to her hotel, if you were watching the door of the apartment house all the time?
29498How do I know you ai n''t a burglar?
29498How do you ever suppose they came to connect_ me_ with the matter?
29498How do you know?
29498How do you make that out?
29498How is Miss Ruth?
29498How long has she been with you?
29498How many of them were made, and what became of them?
29498How many typewriters have you in your offices, Mr. Baker? 29498 How shall we go to work?"
29498How so?
29498I-- what do you mean, Miss? 29498 In what way?"
29498Is Miss Ford in? 29498 Is Miss Morton able to go on with the scene?"
29498Is anything wrong, Miss? 29498 Is his name Leary-- Martin Leary?"
29498Is she-- here?
29498Is that Mrs. Morton-- the elderly lady in black?
29498Is there a doctor in the house?
29498Is there anything else?
29498Is there anything more you want of us?
29498Is there anything new?
29498Is this Mrs. Morton''s apartment?
29498Is this you, Richard?
29498Is_ this_ the reason for your sudden interest in motion pictures?
29498Look here, Miss Norman,he began,"who''s going to pay for that broken lamp and them vases and ornaments?"
29498May I go up and look it over?
29498May I see her for a few moments?
29498Might not it have been used?
29498Miss Morton,Duvall said,"do you recognize either of these two women as the one who attacked you in your rooms last night?"
29498Moving pictures?
29498Mr. John Stapleton, the banker?
29498Oh-- doctor, doctor, wo n''t you_ please_ give me something to make me feel a little better?
29498Rang my bell by mistake, did you? 29498 Sarah?"
29498Shall I begin to pack our things?
29498Shall I take you to your hotel in my car?
29498Taxi, sir?
29498That''s all very well, but wo n''t he see us going out?
29498The apartment?
29498The attic, sir? 29498 The letters you already have?"
29498The other was not fastened, I suppose?
29498Then he could n''t have substituted another for it?
29498Then how do you explain the woman having a card with that name on it?
29498Then it was n''t vitriol after all?
29498Then of what use is it to suggest his name?
29498Then please forget completely where you went, will you?
29498Then this film ought to be a good one, do n''t you think?
29498Then you are n''t jealous of me any more, because I so suddenly became a motion- picture''fan''?
29498Then you ca n''t tell me anything about her?
29498Then you do n''t think it amounts to anything?
29498Then you will go back to New York with me this evening?
29498Then you wish me to understand that the woman who just left this house did not come here with you?
29498There is no evidence of any violence?
29498They have gone?
29498They?
29498Think so?
29498This woman came to you, did she not, with a request that you spy on my wife''s movements, and inform her concerning them?
29498To do that, I must go to Washington?
29498Want the ladder any more?
29498Want to go along? 29498 Was he out of your sight, after you gave him the telegram?"
29498Was n''t the woman who fainted the one you were after?
29498Was this possible?
29498Well, roses do n''t last, do they?
29498Well-- whatcha want?
29498Well?
29498Well?
29498Were you able to find out anything concerning the telegram which came this morning?
29498What about? 29498 What are you going to do now?"
29498What are you going to do with her?
29498What are you tearing up?
29498What did you do with it?
29498What did you have in mind about that new film we''re going to release to- night?
29498What difference does that make, if what I say is true? 29498 What do you make of it?"
29498What do you make of that?
29498What do you make of those?
29498What do you mean by that?
29498What do you think of that?
29498What do you think? 29498 What do you want?"
29498What do you wish to see me about?
29498What for?
29498What have_ you_ been doing with yourself?
29498What is it, dear?
29498What is it?
29498What is it?
29498What is it?
29498What is it?
29498What is it?
29498What is it?
29498What is it?
29498What is it?
29498What is the building at Columbus Avenue and 96th Street?
29498What is the exact nature of Miss Morton''s injuries?
29498What is the nature of your difficulty, madam?
29498What next?
29498What sort of a looking woman is she?
29498What sort of shock?
29498What station?
29498What then?
29498What time was that?
29498What use can we make of it?
29498What was it about that photograph that upset Miss Morton so?
29498What was it?
29498What was it?
29498What was it?
29498What was the message?
29498What was what?
29498What was your plan about the new film we''re going to show to- night?
29498What''s come over you?
29498What''s going on up here?
29498What''s the idea of putting this in our picture? 29498 What''s the matter, Richard?"
29498What''s the matter, dear?
29498What''s the matter?
29498What''s the mystery?
29498What''s wrong, Ruth? 29498 What, for instance?"
29498What-- what was it?
29498What?
29498When was this ironwork painted?
29498When was this message left?
29498When?
29498Where are you going?
29498Where did you get it?
29498Where is he?
29498Where is her maid, Nora?
29498Where is the garage?
29498Where to?
29498Where was the letter found-- the one that did not come through the mails?
29498Where?
29498Which of the two windows was open, when you found the letter?
29498Which was it? 29498 Who prepared the original telegram?"
29498Who was the woman who just left here-- the woman who had just come in with you?
29498Why did you send those threatening messages to Miss Morton?
29498Why do you conclude that?
29498Why do you say that?
29498Why has Miss Morton''s mother employed a detective?
29498Why not here?
29498Why not?
29498Why not?
29498Why should she have gone to all that trouble, just to frighten you?
29498Will you ask Mrs. Morton to wait a little while, Mr. Edwards? 29498 Will you come with me quietly,"he said,"or shall I call a policeman and have you put under arrest for the attack upon my wife?"
29498Will you leave any message?
29498Will you look here a minute, please?
29498Will you please give me her present address?
29498Wo n''t you come in?
29498Would you like to take a look at her?
29498Would you take one, if it were offered to you?
29498Yes?
29498Yes?
29498You are not sure of this?
29498You did not intend to go to the showing of your new film at the Grand to- night, did you?
29498You drove here in one of the hotel''s regular cabs, I suppose?
29498You feel quite certain about the cook?
29498You figure out that this will cause her to disclose herself-- make some sign?
29498You saw this woman enter Miss Morton''s hotel to- night and go up in the elevator, did you not?
29498You say she was a small, slight woman, with light hair?
29498You sent for me, sir?
29498You think it would be quite safe?
29498You think, then, that she is really in danger?
29498You will be there to- night, of course?
29498Your wife?
29498And could it be done successfully, what about the crash, the noise which must inevitably result from such a performance?
29498And how did that monkey get in here?"
29498And if she had not been there, why was her handkerchief found there, knotted in this peculiar way?
29498And if so, ought she not to make an attempt to give him the message she had just received, before he did so?
29498And now, tell me, do you think if you took a look at this woman you might recognize her?"
29498And there are no boarders, or other persons whatever living in the house?"
29498And what was the missing address?
29498And what was the name of the street?
29498And what, Mrs. Morton, would you like to have me do in the matter?"
29498And where had he waited for Grace until nearly midnight?
29498And why had her husband assumed the same name?
29498And you?"
29498And, above all, why had she not returned?
29498Anything else?"
29498Anything new?"
29498Are you able to leave now?"
29498Are you going to put that in the directory too, sir?"
29498Are you ready?"
29498Bradley?"
29498Bring it up, will you?"
29498But do n''t you think that, under the circumstances, it is a chance worth taking?"
29498But was she alone?
29498But what of?"
29498But what woman?
29498But what''s the idea?"
29498But which one?
29498But why?
29498But why?"
29498But, granting the possibility of this, of what use would it be?
29498But, having done this, what would she do with the ball?
29498But-- what does that mean?"
29498Ca n''t I take you for a drive, ma''am?"
29498Can you by any chance give me a description of the person who sent it?"
29498Can you imagine anything more terrible?"
29498Can you not return with me?
29498Can you suggest any other way?"
29498Come up with me at once, and you will see that I am right----""But-- who are you, Miss?
29498Could it be Richard coming to her assistance?
29498Could it have been in this way that the letter had been delivered?
29498Could these windows, by any chance, be those of the room of Marcia Ford?
29498Did he not also say that I have for some time past given up the active practice of my profession?"
29498Did n''t she say what she wanted with you?"
29498Did n''t you see her?"
29498Did she give him her name and address?"
29498Did you find some coffee?"
29498Do n''t you?"
29498Do you give your employees passes for these opening performances?"
29498Do you think I ought to have waited, sir?"
29498Do you think you could arrange to get off and do this?"
29498Do you think you would know the woman who came to your rooms last night, in case you should see her again?"
29498Do you understand?"
29498Do you?"
29498Does any one sleep in the attic?"
29498Duvall?"
29498Duvall?"
29498Duvall?"
29498Duvall?"
29498Duvall?"
29498Duvall?"
29498Duvall?"
29498Duvall?"
29498First, tell me how long it will take you to make a short section of film, say enough to show for about ten seconds?"
29498From whom?
29498Had all the work of the evening, then, been wasted?
29498Had it formed part of some apparatus, some device, made of a pole and a cord, for inserting the threatening letters through the window?
29498Had n''t you better stay with her, as well?"
29498Had she, by some lucky chance, discovered the very person for whom Richard was seeking?
29498Had some accident, some danger befallen her?
29498Had the handkerchief been left there then?
29498Had the sedative he had given her, harmless as he knew the dose would be to a normal person, affected her in so unfavorable a way?
29498Had the supposedly fainting woman overheard his words?
29498Had the woman gone directly from the cab to the hotel?
29498Has she come in yet?"
29498Has she gotten into any trouble?"
29498Has she lost her jewels, or only her husband?"
29498Have you finished packing that suit case?"
29498Have you heard anything from home?"
29498Have you seen it?"
29498He''s awfully good- looking, do n''t you think?"
29498How about the photograph we were going to trace?"
29498How do you know I went to Miss Morton''s room?"
29498How had she known the address?
29498How had the letter come there?
29498How is your daughter?"
29498How was it possible to determine which one was that of the woman he sought?
29498How was she to tell to which apartment the woman had gone?
29498How was the cabman to let her know, and where?
29498How was the other letter delivered?"
29498How, for instance, were the letters placed in my daughter''s room?"
29498I may ask you now, may I not?
29498I suppose you have everything fixed for to- night?"
29498If I wanted to add anything to that picture, put in an insert, I believe you call it, could I do so, if I told you about it to- morrow?"
29498Is anything wrong?"
29498Is anything wrong?"
29498Is anything wrong?"
29498Is everything all right?"
29498Is it about that wretched Morton case?
29498Is n''t there anything I can do?"
29498Is that all, sir?"
29498Is that perfectly clear?"
29498Is that what you have been so busy about?"
29498Is that where Marcia Ford lives?"
29498May I?
29498Might it not have been an illusion, the result of your nervous condition?"
29498Miss Marcia Ford?"
29498Miss Norman asked, changed to:"Is there anything more you want of us?"
29498Morton?"
29498Morton?"
29498Of what use would it be, to request an interview?
29498Or was it"Miss Martin,"or"Miss Marvin,"or"Miss Marbury,"or any one of a score of other names beginning with the letters"Mar?"
29498Or"Miss Margaret?"
29498Ought she not to tell him of the message as soon as possible, so that he might be on his guard?
29498Say-- ain''t that a bear of a title?
29498Shall I send for her?"
29498Shall I stay here?"
29498Shall we go out in the lobby and take a look at the crowd as it comes in?"
29498Should he ring the bell and ask for Miss Ford?
29498The car will be waiting for you at nine, and Mr. Edwards expects to start that new picture to- day, does n''t he?"
29498The murder case, or the Clarks?"
29498The thing that puzzled him most was, how did the persecutors of Miss Morton discover her new address so soon?
29498Then who did?"
29498Was he leaving the hotel?
29498Was he posing as Ruth Morton''s brother, and if so, for what reason?
29498Was it possible that an opening had been made through the wall of the apartment building itself?
29498Was it possible that she had a weak heart?
29498Was it the woman who had just left the house?
29498Was not Ruth''s name a household word among moving picture"fans"from coast to coast?
29498Was she much upset?"
29498Was she then to go free?
29498Was someone waiting within, ready to attack him the moment he made a step forward?
29498Was the lady who called interested in the motion picture business?"
29498Was the name so tantalizingly suggested by the letters before him"Miss Mary"something or other?
29498Was the woman who had handed the package to Nora, the maid, the same one that had vanished from the cab?
29498Was this a plot to get her inside the apartment, or was the woman in earnest?
29498We''re going to the theater to- night, are n''t we?
29498Were there then two working together?
29498What about the damage to the paint upon the fire escape''s iron surface?
29498What are we going to do now?"
29498What are we to do?"
29498What are you going to do with them?"
29498What better place to hide the ball of wax?
29498What could it mean?
29498What danger threatened her husband?
29498What did she do, when you left the hotel?"
29498What do they do, and what are their addresses?"
29498What do you make of this woman''s attitude?"
29498What do you propose to do with Jack?"
29498What do you suppose could have made a mark like this?"
29498What do you want?"
29498What had she done with it?
29498What has happened to your daughter?"
29498What have you discovered?"
29498What have you to do with the matter?"
29498What is it you wish to know?"
29498What is it?"
29498What is the purpose of these questions?"
29498What name, please?"
29498What numbers followed the figure 1, on that part of the card that had been torn off?
29498What of it?
29498What purpose had the woman in mind, in getting rid of Mrs. Morton?
29498What shall I tell you?"
29498What then?"
29498What was in the telegram to make her faint?"
29498What''s the matter with you?
29498What, I wondered, had caused the woman to melt so large a quantity of wax?
29498When does that train go?"
29498Where did they go?"
29498Where did you get the package you delivered to Miss Morton a little while ago?"
29498Where is Leary now?"
29498Where is the woman?"
29498Where is this section?"
29498Where was the so- called Mrs. Bradley?
29498Who do you want to see?"
29498Who is she?"
29498Who was Jack, she wondered?
29498Who was Martin Leary?
29498Who was the person who had attacked him from the closet?
29498Who, beside yourself, was in the apartment at the time?"
29498Who-- what was it that had attacked him?
29498Why are you not here?"
29498Why do n''t you take up your professional work again?"
29498Why do you ask?"
29498Why had she left the hotel so suddenly?
29498Why had the door been so silently opened?
29498Why is it, Richard, that you seem to forget that I have done detective work before, too?
29498Why, she wondered, did he so pointedly exclude her from this case?
29498Why, sir?
29498Why?"
29498Why?"
29498Why?"
29498Will eleven o''clock suit you?"
29498Will it be in the morning?"
29498Wo n''t you come in?"
29498Would it not be better to have Mr. Emmett and yourself conduct me through the room in which she works, as though I were a visitor to the studio?
29498You agreed with me, did n''t you?"
29498You drove my wife uptown, somewhere, did you not?"
29498You have your car here, have you not?"
29498You left your daughter alone?"
29498You might ask the cab starter?"
29498changed to: What better place to hide the ball of wax?
29498changed to: What''s the matter with you?
29498changed to: Why, sir?
29498changed to:"Would you take one, if it were offered to you?"
29498nor did he wish... changed to: He doubted his ability to break it in, nor did he wish... Chapter XIX"''Is there anything more you want of us?"
35003And if she refuses?
35003And what is that?
35003And where is that?
35003And you, madam?
35003Barbara''s son?
35003But when I am in the cellar, what then?
35003But where can I get it?
35003Daughter of whom?
35003Do you not wish to speak to him?
35003Frances? 35003 Good likeness, eh?"
35003Have you any suggestions to offer? 35003 How many?"
35003How was this lady dressed?
35003I pick up?
35003I?
35003Is it? 35003 Is n''t that a bottle to make your eyes dance?
35003Is not Miss Glover wealthy? 35003 May I ask who is speaking to me?"
35003Nephew?
35003Now will you answer my former question? 35003 Oh, where is Minnie?
35003One of the Witherspoon boys?
35003One that you can tell me?
35003She? 35003 There were but eight,"faltered the lawyer;"that means, then, all?"
35003They all believe it; they will always believe it unless I submit-- Oh, why did I ever come to this dreadful place? 35003 They?
35003True, but if they offered to submit to this themselves?
35003What is your name?
35003What news?
35003What''s that? 35003 Where are your brothers?"
35003Where shall we go?
35003Who did this overhauling?
35003Why do you ask that? 35003 Why?
35003Will bed and supper be provided me here?
35003You do not feel yourself worthy?
35003You know me?
35003You want to hear the letter?
35003Your name?
35003( Did I say that I had risen when the latter sat?)
35003And how did you repay this confidence on my part?
35003And now who''s the boy in the window?
35003And why did I prefer to await developments rather than ask the simplest question of any one about me?
35003But Eunice had a spirit like an angel and drawing near him, she said:"Is there anything I can do for you, Cousin John?"
35003But how face the publicity of restoring it now, after this elaborate and painful search, in which even the son of her hostess had taken part?
35003But perhaps there are neighbors near by; do you know?"
35003But where?
35003Ca n''t say much to us from canvas, eh?"
35003Can I do nothing for your comfort or for-- for the child''s?"
35003Can you say, John?
35003Can you say, Luke?
35003Can you tell me?"
35003Deane?"
35003Did I find the ruby?
35003Did you notice how bright and happy she looked when the lights sprang up?
35003Do you not see guilt written on his brow?
35003Do you remember it, Lemuel?
35003Do you remember it, Luke?
35003Do you remember it, lads?
35003Do you see your way to accomplishing this?
35003Do you understand me, you cruel, crafty ones?"
35003How many of you are there?
35003How many of you ever had the opportunity of drinking real Tokay before?"
35003How?"
35003I merely exclaimed:"And to- night?"
35003Into what sort of gathering had I stumbled?
35003Is her sympathy with Mr. Deane so great as to cause her to weep over his loss?"
35003Is it?"
35003Is this the police- station?"
35003It fell out--""Your dressmaker''s bill?"
35003Luke, Hector, Janet, have you heard him tell of that vision at his gateway, twenty- five years ago?
35003No; I should find her alone, but where?
35003On her person or hidden in some of her belongings?
35003One of Salmon''s four grandchildren, think''e?
35003Or a shoot from Eustace''s gnarled old trunk?
35003Shall we fare on together, you, I-- and the little one?"
35003Shall we think of ourselves or even of each other while these men, all relatives of mine, are dying on the other side of this wall?"
35003Shall we, then, fare on together-- we and the little child?"
35003Should I send Hendricks or should I send Hicks?
35003That would be bad, eh?
35003Then suddenly, and with a startling impetuosity, which drew her to her feet:"Are you going to tell everybody that?
35003There are five, are n''t there?
35003This imposing figure might be that of a millionaire''s daughter; how then could I associate her, even in my own mind, with theft?
35003To one of the former I addressed the question:"Where is the butler''s pantry?
35003Was any one seen to approach Mr. Deane on the carriage- drive prior to his assertion that the jewel was lost?"
35003Was the man a fool?
35003We have him at the door; shall we bring him in?"
35003What alternative remained?
35003What has happened to them?
35003What have you done that you should forego an inheritance to which these others feel themselves honestly entitled?"
35003What have you forgot?"
35003What interest have you( called in, as I understand, to recover a stolen jewel) in Frances Glover''s personal difficulties?"
35003What is your name?"
35003What made you think he might still have the ruby?"
35003What troubles Miss Glover?
35003What was the article you were seen to pick up from the driveway soon after leaving your carriage?"
35003What''s that?"
35003When?
35003Where will you see him?"
35003Who saw her?"
35003Who?
35003Why is this?
35003Why?
35003Will you drink it?
35003Withdraw?
35003Wo n''t you believe me?
35003Would it ever come to pass that a harsh man of the law would feel it his duty to speak to my Flora as I must now speak to the young girl before me?
35003Yet where could that ruby be, if not with this young girl?
35003Yet, who knows?
35003You and your babe are still alive; while they--""What of them?
35003You were a Westonhaugh, I believe?"
35003_ You will not?_""No, no, no!"
35003where are our cloaks-- our rubbers?"
26324A-- chink?
26324A-- what?
26324Ah, but would he?
26324Ah, the Quick business?
26324Am I an ordinary young man, then?
26324Am I right in supposing the name of the Chinese cook to have been Lo Chuh Fen?
26324And chiefly in the places I''ve mentioned, eh?--the East End of London, Liverpool, and the two big Welsh towns? 26324 And does he really like living-- here?"
26324And had no direct conversation with him yourself?
26324And that would be-- what?
26324And the presumption, of course, was that the murderers were searching for something?
26324And then went off-- to Norway?
26324And two English?
26324And what sort of a weapon was it, d''ye suppose that the assassin used?
26324And what''s the general opinion?
26324And what, now?
26324And what,she asked again,"did Mr. Cazalette think they might mean?"
26324And when did you see him last?
26324And whence, I take it, you have just removed them to the deck above our heads?
26324And where did they profess to come from?
26324And where have you been, yourself, since the time you tell us about?
26324And who answers for Lorrimore?
26324And who met him, the previous day, on the cliffs hereabouts, and went with him into the Mariner''s Joy?
26324And who met him?
26324And you ai n''t heard of his being about?
26324And you believe, really and truly, that this key is in the marks or scratches or whatever they are on the lid of the tobacco- box?
26324And you got into their hands-- how?
26324And you''re going across the Atlantic with a crew of three?
26324And you?
26324And yourself, Middlebrook?
26324And, in the main, it would be-- what?
26324And-- his name?
26324And-- the clue?
26324And-- this money?
26324And-- what mention was made of you?
26324Any weather?
26324Anything happen?
26324Anything that could actually arouse curiosity?
26324Anything?
26324Are you Mr. Raven''s gamekeeper?
26324Are you at all up in the history of your own country?
26324Atlantic? 26324 Aye, man, and who could there be, wi''a crest and monogram on his kerchief, that''ud murder yon man the secret way he has?"
26324Aye, once?
26324Aye?
26324Aye?
26324Baxter?
26324Begging your pardon,he said;"is this here the police office?"
26324But as you seem to have rigged up some sort of satisfactory substitute, do n''t you think we might be making our way homewards? 26324 But then, the Chinese are very clever, are n''t they?"
26324But what place, and where?
26324But you do n''t anticipate any need?
26324But you''re up to certain notable episodes?
26324But-- I wonder? 26324 But-- where and when and how do they intend-- if your theory''s correct-- to do the handing over?"
26324But-- you got away, in the end?
26324But-- you say there were six men altogether-- six?
26324Can we get home tomorrow?
26324Can you row a boat?
26324Caves, now?
26324Cheque?
26324D''ye think I''d be well advised, Middlebrook?
26324Dead, sir?
26324Denwick?
26324Did I?
26324Did n''t I say we should have to hark back? 26324 Did n''t I?
26324Did n''t Lorrimore say he was a philosopher?
26324Did n''t know you, I suppose?
26324Did n''t you put these things together when the inquest was over?
26324Did the man you take to be Baxter look at you?
26324Did they buy her?
26324Did you eat a slice of that plum- cake?
26324Did you know your great- uncle?
26324Did you mention the name Netherfield just then?
26324Do I understand that this vessel could undertake a longish voyage?
26324Do n''t know-- what?
26324Do n''t think me too abrupt, nor intentionally rude, if I ask you what you and this young lady are doing here?
26324Do n''t you like-- Easterns?
26324Do they want to keep us-- here?
26324Do you feel disposed to a glass of ale?
26324Do you know anything about rubies? 26324 Do you know what all this is suggesting to me?"
26324Do you mean-- that they intend to-- to murder them?
26324Do you sleep very soundly?
26324Do you think I carry a revolver on an innocent country stroll?
26324Do you think Quick was the real name?
26324Do you think he really is a-- pirate?
26324Do you think that ship is looking for the yawl?
26324Does n''t it seem as if the Chinese intend foul play to those two?
26324Does n''t it seem quite out of the world here-- after that?
26324Does that mean that you would get information which I should n''t get?
26324Don''t-- don''t you think there may be some explanation of this in what Salter Quick said to Mr. Middlebrook when they met on the cliffs?
26324Evidently you intend to tranship your precious cargo?
26324Fighting?
26324For instance, could they have crossed, say, the Atlantic in her?
26324From that meeting, I suppose, the more recent chapters of your story begin?
26324Gold, silver?
26324Gone? 26324 Have you any idea who he may be?"
26324Have you formed any conclusion?
26324Have you found out if Netherfield Baxter and the temporary bank- manager were acquainted?
26324He said there were Netherfields buried hereabouts?
26324How do I know that the guilty man may n''t be one of my own servants?
26324How do you know that the murderers did n''t find what they were seeking for?
26324How many Chinese do you reckon were on board?
26324How''s this?
26324How?
26324Hungry?
26324I believe,I said, brusquely enough,"that I am speaking to Mr. Netherfield Baxter?"
26324I gather, from all you''ve said, that the handkerchief was in the pocket- book you had stolen this morning?
26324I suppose it''s scarcely possible that the murderer was present at that inquest?
26324I suppose the old gentleman-- Mr. Cazalette-- is to be-- trusted? 26324 I suppose there are places along this coast where a man might hide?"
26324I suppose there is one?
26324I suppose you hear a good deal in this parlour of yours?
26324I think you, at any rate, are a resident?
26324I thought you believed that Salter Quick''s murderer was miles away before ever Salter Quick was cold?
26324I understood that this ship, the_ Elizabeth Robinson_, was lost with all hands?
26324I wonder if it is so?
26324I wonder if there are inscriptions on the other tombs?
26324I wonder what they''ll find?
26324I, sir?
26324I-- I do n''t think I''ve caught your name?
26324I? 26324 If Chuh Fen is still in England-- as he may be-- can he find him?"
26324In other words, the Chinese gentleman who was with you and your French friend in Hull?
26324In such absolutely different surroundings?
26324In that case, what becomes of Salter Quick''s search for the graves of the Netherfields?
26324Including the murder of one of the Quicks?
26324Is he your man- servant?
26324Is it much?
26324Is it wise policy to show all the cards you''re holding?
26324Is n''t that guess- work?
26324Is n''t there something almost-- what is it?--uncanny?--about him?
26324Is that Baxter?
26324It was you who found Salter Quick?
26324It would be a help?
26324It''s a gunboat-- or something of that sort, is n''t it?
26324Just the two of them?
26324Laundry business, eating- houses, groceries, and so on?
26324Leaving?
26324Marooned?
26324May I have a word with you?
26324May n''t it have been an assumed name?
26324Maybe you could come across some customer?
26324Money?
26324Mr. Cazalette, have you found out anything from your photographic work on that tobacco- box lid?
26324Mr. Jallanby,he continued,"what did these two want of you?
26324No danger to-- her?
26324Not honestly, I suppose?
26324Nothing happened, master-- what should happen?
26324Now you understand?
26324Now you''ll let your mind go back to the morning whereon you found yon man Quick lying dead and murdered on the sand? 26324 Now, I wonder where those chaps have gone?"
26324Now-- who? 26324 Of Blyth?"
26324Of course, you have been to Rotherhithe-- making inquiries?
26324Oh?
26324Or do they begin somewhat earlier?
26324Parish registers?
26324Rakish, wicked- looking things, are n''t they? 26324 Really frightened?"
26324Recent?
26324Robbery? 26324 See him again anywhere?"
26324Shall I be plain?
26324So Dr. Lorrimore has a Chinese man servant?
26324So you begin by paying me compliments?
26324So you found your man dead and murdered, Middlebrook? 26324 So you told Noah and Salter Quick that?"
26324Some information?
26324Some mystery?
26324Still,he continued, turning to Wing,"a lot of your people when they come here, stop, do n''t they?"
26324Such as what?
26324Such as what?
26324Surely not that?
26324Take them away?
26324That and me, together-- eh?
26324That fourth Chinaman?
26324That it?
26324That looks as if there were some very good reason why it should be found, does n''t it?
26324That so?
26324That strikes you, Middlebrook?
26324That you did see him?
26324That''s it, is n''t it, Fish?
26324That''s just what?
26324The boat?
26324The man we saw at Ravensdene Court?
26324The thing that the old gentleman-- what''s his name? 26324 Then Salter Quick was after that treasure?"
26324Then it was as I thought?
26324Then we are in the hands of Netherfield Baxter?
26324Then you have something?
26324Then you merely asked the question out of curiosity?
26324Then you''d know Netherfield Baxter?
26324Then you''ll be a gentleman as knows the vally of a thing o''that sort when you sees it?
26324Then you''re stopping in the neighbourhood?
26324They must have some theory?
26324This afternoon?
26324Trade of this part of London, is n''t it?
26324Under what circumstances?
26324Was n''t this Noah Quick mentioned in some paper you found on Salter Quick?
26324Was that the first time of your meeting with them?
26324Was there anything of great value in it?
26324Well, Mr. Cazalette,I said,"have you brought your photographic investigations to any successful conclusion?"
26324Well, and what happened? 26324 Well, sir?"
26324Well-- what has he discovered?
26324Well?
26324Well?
26324Well?
26324Well?
26324Well?
26324Were you there-- present?
26324What can you tell me about that? 26324 What colour?"
26324What d''ye make of it, lad?
26324What d''ye think o''that lot, mister?
26324What did the detective want, and what have you found out?
26324What did they do?
26324What did you think I should be?
26324What do you or I know of Lorrimore? 26324 What do you suppose is going to happen to us?"
26324What do you think of it?
26324What do you think of that queer old man?
26324What do you think of that?
26324What do you think the police ought to do-- or ought to have done?
26324What do you think, from your standpoint, of the two affairs?
26324What does he mean?
26324What does it look like?
26324What else? 26324 What is it about the box?"
26324What is it, then?
26324What is it? 26324 What is it?"
26324What is it?
26324What is that, exactly?
26324What is the name?
26324What is thought in the town about Lester and the valuables?
26324What like was this here man?
26324What names did you know them under?
26324What next? 26324 What o''that?"
26324What other presumption could there be?
26324What says you? 26324 What was he?"
26324What was that?
26324What was there, really, on the lid of the tobacco- box?
26324What were the antecedents of Noah and Salter Quick?
26324What were the markings you speak of?
26324What were these three talking about?
26324What''s that?
26324What''s to pay?
26324What''s your name, then?
26324What, now?
26324What?
26324Whatever makes them think that?
26324Whatever will you do? 26324 Where did you know him?"
26324Where was this here?
26324Where''s this boat you mentioned, Middlebrook? 26324 Where, then?"
26324Where, then?
26324Whereabouts did this man land, Middlebrook?
26324Which hotel?
26324Who, of all the folk in these parts, is one to suspect? 26324 Who-- who are these-- these men?"
26324Why did n''t you suggest it?
26324Why have they let us go?
26324Why not?
26324Why not?
26324Why, now?
26324Why-- who could there be?
26324Will you not step inside and shelter from the storm?
26324Wing was there?
26324Worth a good deal, eh?
26324Would you be surprised to hear of his being in England three years ago?
26324Would you?
26324Ye''ll just indulge an old man''s fancy?
26324Yes?
26324Yes?
26324Yes?
26324Yes?
26324Yes?
26324Yet-- Noah and Salter Quick were on her-- and were living five years later?
26324You brought him from India, I suppose?
26324You did n''t come here with any set purpose?
26324You did n''t see all these Chinamen? 26324 You did?"
26324You do n''t mean to say they''re-- wanted?
26324You do remember that morning, then?
26324You feel sure of it?
26324You found him?
26324You found this poor man?
26324You had n''t heard that, then?
26324You knew them-- the Quicks?
26324You know of some?
26324You know that?
26324You live hereabouts, sir?
26324You mean that Salter and Noah may have got rid of Netherfield Baxter and that somebody has got rid of them?
26324You must like living under the old family roof?
26324You never saw the man again whom you speak of as having seen at Alnwick?
26324You really think so?
26324You really think those marks were made of a purpose, Cazalette?
26324You really want to sell them?
26324You saw him, you and Miss Raven, did n''t you?
26324You saw nobody about?
26324You saw the rubies?
26324You say these things-- rubies, I think-- were worth a lot of money?
26324You say you think he was wounded in getting away?
26324You see?
26324You think I should?
26324You think the two affairs one really-- eh?
26324You think they had a past?
26324You think they were intentional?
26324You were n''t seeking this place?
26324You were?
26324You wish to know?
26324You''d a stiff time of it?
26324You''d never met them before-- anywhere?
26324You''ll be able to find your way down?
26324You''ll drink with me? 26324 You''re asking for me?"
26324You''re both aware of my youthful career at Blyth?
26324You''re not sure that it has?
26324You''re sure that it was on the table at the inquest?
26324You''re wondering if that''s anything to do with Netherfield Baxter''s disappearance?
26324You''ve been thinking much about it?
26324You''ve heard nothing of him-- from London?
26324You''ve some ground?
26324''Ai n''t you Mr. Netherfield Baxter, what I used to know at Blyth, away up North?''
26324A Chinaman with valuables on him worth eighty thousand pounds?
26324All ready for you-- then you go ashore and away, see?
26324And I am now writing to ask you if you could so far oblige and help me in my investigations as to join me here for a day or two, at once?
26324And a morsel of cheese?"
26324And as we want to get on with our work here-- will you please to come, now?"
26324And bread-- a loaf of real home- baked?
26324And now, who was Netherfield Baxter?
26324And that cross in the corner-- perhaps there is something buried, hidden, there, which Salter Quick wanted to find?"
26324And that name was-- Netherfield?
26324And that-- but am I to be still more explicit?"
26324And these places where there''s a little cross?--that''ll mean there''s a church there?"
26324And those men he foregathered with at the inn, they''d never heard of anything at that point, nor elsewhere?"
26324And what I would like to know is-- why did Salter Quick come down here, to this particular bit of the North Country?"
26324And what do you make of it, Mr. Middlebrook?
26324And what do you-- a Londoner, I think you told me-- know of Netherfield Baxter?"
26324And what was Quick doing down here?
26324And what would happen if, as seemed likely, they met?
26324And where did he stop-- here?"
26324And who are his companions?
26324And why not have consigned it to his dirty- linen basket and have it washed?
26324And, in the meantime-- a much pleasanter thing-- won''t you show me round the house?
26324And-- he''s rather interesting, is n''t he?"
26324And-- so have you?"
26324And-- what was easier than to abstract it, at the inquest, where it was exhibited in company with several other things of Salter''s?"
26324And-- who was it?"
26324And-- you think that man of Lorrimore''s, Wing, was aboard, and if so, he''s the man who''s escaped?"
26324And-- yours sir?"
26324Are there places and people in London where one could get to hear of him?"
26324Are you armed?"
26324Are you going on with your search?"
26324Are you going to stay longer in the neighbourhood?"
26324But I hope you appreciate the extraordinary coincidence, gentlemen?
26324But I suppose he''ll take his time?"
26324But I take it this vessel was all ready for going to sea?"
26324But I''m sure he was winged-- he fell in a heap, did n''t he, at one of those shots?
26324But did I say ended?--nay, for all I knew the murderers of the Quicks were only an episode, a chapter in the story-- the end was-- where?
26324But how came he to meet his murderer-- or did his murderer follow him?
26324But is there anything fresh?"
26324But my problem-- one sufficient to wrack every fibre of my brain-- was, what were they after?
26324But now I''m wondering if something else had happened before that?"
26324But of what?"
26324But really, gentlemen, you surprise me!--I should never have thought-- yet, you never know who people are, do you?
26324But tell me-- how did you and your posse come this way?
26324But this boat-- do you think you can help me to drag it up the beach?"
26324But two questions-- first, how long since is it that these chaps sailed for Bergen; second, what is the name of this smart little vessel?"
26324But what game?"
26324But what, and how?
26324But why?
26324But why?"
26324But you must be tired after all those miles?
26324But-- in that case, what was going to become of me and my helpless companion?
26324But-- is it probable that the Quicks would still be in possession of jewels that you saw some years ago?"
26324But-- is there anything you want to say to me before I go?"
26324But-- that sixth man?"
26324But-- that''s three years ago, and Chuh Fen may be-- where?"
26324But-- the rest?"
26324But-- what?"
26324But-- you would n''t be afraid?"
26324By the way, if it''s not a professional secret, have you heard any more of the affair at Saltash?"
26324By this time they''ll have altered the name of that yawl, and gone-- where?
26324CHAPTER VIII WAS IT A WOMAN?
26324Ca n''t you suggest anything, Mr. Cazalette?
26324Can he now, solemn?"
26324Cazalette?"
26324Cazalette?"
26324Cazalette?"
26324Cazalette?"
26324Cazalette?"
26324Certainly, the marks were there, and, equally certainly, they looked to have been made with some intent-- but what did they mean?
26324Could n''t you young people cajole Mr. Cazalette into telling you a little?
26324D''ye know how old I am, Middlebrook?"
26324D''ye see the inside of the lid of this box?
26324D''ye understand?
26324Did I know these parts?--was I a native hereabouts?--did I know any churchyards with the name Netherfield on gravestones?
26324Did Lo Chuh Fen leave her at any such port?
26324Did n''t I tell all of you, all along, that there''d be more in this business than met the eye?
26324Did n''t Mr. Raven get a wire last night?"
26324Did the_ Elizabeth Robinson_ touch at any port after leaving Hong- Kong?
26324Did you say that?--I asks you serious?"
26324Did you see or hear anything of this man in the neighbourhood last night-- or in the afternoon or evening?"
26324Do I understand that your man will help us by trying to find out some particulars of Chuh Fen, or laying hands on Chuh Fen himself?
26324Do you go with me, Mr. Middlebrook?
26324Do you know that he actually goes out early-- very early-- in the morning and swims in the open sea?"
26324Do you know what I think?
26324Do you remember it?"
26324Do you remember?"
26324Do you see my point, gentlemen?
26324Do you see?"
26324Do you see?"
26324Do you understand now?"
26324Do you understand?"
26324Do you wonder, either of you, that both Noah and Salter eventually got-- what they got?"
26324Does it now?"
26324Dr. Lorrimore said he had been in India for some years, did n''t he?
26324Drop of rum first, eh?
26324Eh?"
26324Eh?"
26324Exploring the wood for the mere fun of the thing, we chanced upon these ruins and have been examining them, that''s all?"
26324Gentlemen!--what does this show?
26324Had he picked it up on the beach when he went for his dip?
26324Had it anything to do with the crime?
26324Had that-- had Cazalette himself-- anything to do with this crime?
26324Had you not better send for the police?"
26324Hand it over to the authorities?
26324Has he discovered anything?"
26324Have they ever tried?
26324Have you got anything to dispose of?
26324Have you the least idea of what these documents are?"
26324Have you-- and what is it?"
26324I ca n''t say for myself, but-- has my hair whitened?"
26324I do n''t suppose that the print which was in your pocket- book was the only one you possess?"
26324I mean-- of all that I''ve told you?"
26324I mean-- you do n''t think that he''s found out anything with his photography, and is keeping it dark?"
26324I myself-- why not others?
26324I reckon I''ve a prior claim, Middlebrook?"
26324I suppose he must really have been killed by that man who was spoken of at the inn?
26324I suppose you know all its nooks and corners?"
26324If he was there, in that yawl, in what capacity-- real capacity-- was he there?
26324If only I could clap a hand on him----""You think you''d be clapping a hand on Salter Quick''s murderer?"
26324If so, how did he escape a shipwreck which evidently happened?
26324Is Dr. Lorrimore at home?"
26324Is that your road, master?"
26324Is there any need to go through the woods?
26324Is there no clue?
26324It was some churchyard this fellow was seeking?"
26324Jallanby?"
26324Just an inch or so showing, d''ye understand?
26324Know him?
26324Lorrimore''s?"
26324Lorrimore?"
26324Marooned?
26324Maybe you''ll know it?"
26324Middlebrook?"
26324Middlebrook?"
26324Middlebrook?"
26324Middlebrook?"
26324Middlebrook?"
26324Murder?
26324Now I asks you, friendly-- ha''you ever seen that name in your churchyard?
26324Now I''d like to know what all that signifies?
26324Now if we could trace the owner of the handkerchief and find where he gets his washing done, and a great deal more-- you see?
26324Now supposing this is a rough outline of that churchyard?
26324Now then, what is Baxter doing?
26324Now then-- was this man, this Chinaman, the Chuh Fen who turned up in London, the same Chuh Fen who was on the_ Elizabeth Robinson_?
26324Now, I want to know all about that!--who can tell me most?"
26324Now, Mr. Jallanby, what do you know of those two?
26324Now, if I''d only chanced on him when he was by himself, what?"
26324Now, what could he be doing down at this lonely spot?
26324Now, what''s the meaning of it, in your opinion, sir?"
26324Now, where was this?"
26324Now, who, out of that lot, would be likely to steal-- for that''s what it comes to-- this tobacco- box?
26324Now-- what could those three have told about the_ Elizabeth Robinson_?"
26324Odd, is n''t it?
26324Of course we-- that is, my French friend and I-- have been, and are, suspected of murdering them?"
26324Of course, the poor fellow has been murdered for his money?
26324Only I do n''t know where that churchyard-- or, again, there may be more than one-- is, d''ye see?
26324Or-- do you live hereabouts?"
26324Out of this arose the question-- what was the secret?
26324Perhaps-- you''ll give us more of it?"
26324Put plainly, if he was there, what game was that bland, suave, obsequious, soft- tongued Chinaman playing?
26324RAVENSDENE COURT[ 1922] Two men are struck down by an unseen hand, at the same time in widely separated places-- who killed them?
26324Raven?"
26324Scarterfield?"
26324Shall I tell you how I figure things out?
26324Should we be safe on deck-- or targets for Chinese bullets, or receptacles for Chinese knives?
26324So I want to ask you-- did you ever hear, in any of these quarters, of a man named Chuh Fen?
26324So now-- do we get at something?
26324So-- he had evidently been back to the place whereat he had hidden the stained linen, whatever it was?
26324Somebody that''s in the secret, to a certain point, might know-- but who else could?
26324Still-- it''s an odd sight to see a Chinaman, pigtail and all, in these parts, is n''t it?"
26324Sufficient to whet your curiosity, eh, Middlebrook?"
26324Supposing Netherfield Baxter knew where, and that he''s the William Netherfield of the_ Elizabeth Robinson_?
26324Supposing that he let the Quicks into the secret?
26324Supposing this stolen stuff is safely hidden somewhere about?
26324Surely he would oblige you, Miss Raven?"
26324That''s about it, is n''t it?
26324The great thing is-- what was this precious secret that the Quicks shared, and that certainly had to do with some place here in Northumberland?
26324The thing is-- how will you word it?"
26324Then, in God''s name, who else was on her-- whom did you find here-- what men?"
26324There is a churchyard, ai n''t there?"
26324There was something beyond that-- but what?
26324There''s folk up and down these roads that''ud track you for miles on the chance of-- eh, Jim?"
26324These stones!--and the long walk home?"
26324They-- or somebody who was in with them, who afterwards murdered them?
26324Tourists?
26324Very well-- now then, what do we know of Baxter?
26324Was he alone?"
26324Was he directed here-- or led here?"
26324Was it a trick, a plant?
26324Was n''t you, Jim?"
26324Was this his way of finding out what all of us wanted to know?
26324Was this the skipper?"
26324Well, and suppose I admit it, Mr. Middlebrook?
26324Well-- I suppose you''ll make some inquiries about that box?
26324Were they going to murder Baxter and the Frenchman for the sake of the swag now safely on board?
26324What are you going to do with all these things?"
26324What are you wanting?"
26324What beats me,"he added,"is-- what was he-- and the man as did it-- doing, here?
26324What connection was there-- if any at all-- between Mr. Cazalette''s actions and my discovery?
26324What do you fix their vally at, now, mister-- thereabouts, anyway?"
26324What do you know about the grave of the Netherfields?"
26324What do you make of it, sir?"
26324What easier, as I said to the inspector, than for some one of them-- perhaps a curio- hunter-- to quietly pick up that box and make off with it?
26324What had the man Netherfield who was with Salter Quick in Chinese waters in 1907 got to do with Salter Quick''s presence here five years later?"
26324What is it you''ve got?"
26324What is it-- rum?"
26324What is the other?"
26324What might you be wanting with my gentleman, now?"
26324What place?
26324What strange mysteries we seem to be living amongst?
26324What then?
26324What was his idea, now?"
26324What was in their past, the immediate or distant past, likely to lead up to these crimes?
26324What was it that this hard- bitten, travel- worn man, one who had seen, evidently, much of wind and wave, was really after?
26324What was it, then?
26324What was their business here in Hull?"
26324What was their past history?
26324What we were all curious about, of course, was-- what did he know that we did not already know?
26324What were Salter Quick''s pockets turned out for?
26324What were the man''s clothes slashed and hacked for?
26324What were the murderers seeking for?
26324What were their antecedents?
26324What''s against it?"
26324What''s to prevent it?
26324What''s your name?"
26324What?
26324Where did he go?
26324Where did he land?"
26324Where do you get your customers?"
26324Where is he?
26324Who are you-- both?"
26324Who are you?
26324Who had wrought this crime?
26324Who knows?
26324Who were these two men-- Noah and Salter Quick?
26324Who, then, told him of the name?
26324Whom did he come across?"
26324Why carry it from the shore at all, if he meant to get rid of it?
26324Why did whoever slew Noah Quick at Saltash treat the man in similar fashion?
26324Why had Salter Quick travelled all the way from Devonport to Northumberland to find the graves of some people named Netherfield?
26324Why have we never heard of it?"
26324Why should Mr. Raven expect-- or, if not expect, be afraid of, any attack on himself?
26324Why should we not follow the coast?"
26324Why was he so secretive about it?
26324Why, later, did somebody steal that tobacco- box from under the very noses of the police?"
26324Why?
26324Why?
26324Why?
26324Why?
26324Would n''t that be better than-- whatever it is that you''re doing?"
26324Would n''t that explain why they sent us away?"
26324Yet-- what can they do?"
26324Yet-- why thrust it away into the yew- hedge, close to the house?
26324You ai n''t seen it, master, in your wanderings round these parts?"
26324You have n''t hit on anything in the shape of a bridge, a connecting link between the two?"
26324You know the man I was telling you of last night-- Salter Quick?
26324You live about here, no doubt?
26324You met a man-- hereabouts-- what asked you if you knew where there was graves with a certain name on''em?
26324You really believe, Fish, that you met Netherfield Baxter about three weeks ago?
26324You remember that in both cases the clothing of the murdered men had been literally ripped to pieces?"
26324You say you were on this vessel-- during the night?
26324You see how candid I am-- do you know why?"
26324You spoke to this man?"
26324You think they met?"
26324You think, really, we''re on the track of Netherfield Baxter?"
26324You''ll go, of course, Middlebrook?"
26324You''ll have had your lunch?"
26324You''ve never seen Ravensdene Court before?"
26324are n''t you jealous already?"
26324ha''you ever noticed the name of Netherfield on any o''them old gravestones up yonder?
26324he said,"Now then!--by whom?--and why?"
26324said I,"what were the results of your labours?
26324said Scarterfield,"What happened?
26324said he,"the name which that poor man mentioned to you as you talked with him on the cliff was-- Netherfield?"
26324what''s it mean?"
26324your friend got that, too, did he?"
31589A_ blue_ ghost?
31589And if I do n''t?
31589And loading with methyl chloride to squirt at us?
31589Anyone care to listen?
31589Anything else?
31589Are n''t those more bags?
31589Are n''t we going to town?
31589Are n''t you?
31589Are these ghostly walks at nine o''clock?
31589Are you in Civil Defense by any chance?
31589Because it might be crooked?
31589Before you go, what''s your idea about the changing number of ghosts? 31589 But can we settle for mere speculation?"
31589But could n''t the carnotite have been stolen from a privately owned mine?
31589But does n''t that put us back where we started? 31589 But how can we prove all this?"
31589But how could anyone steal stuff from AEC?
31589But how does the chemical squirter work? 31589 But what else have we but assumptions?
31589But where?
31589But why did he tamper with your plane, or try to?
31589But why would he want to reach the mine area?
31589By the way, Mr. Belsely, was anything ever said about a second tunnel in the mine?
31589Ca n''t you two believe the evidence of your own eyes? 31589 Can I listen too?"
31589Can you see anyone under it?
31589Can you work in the darkness?
31589Could he be the mysterious buyer Collins is acting for?
31589Could the old mine have any value?
31589Did it ever occur to you that it''s impossible for anyone to produce the ghost? 31589 Did n''t it?"
31589Did n''t we ever ask about another entrance?
31589Did n''t you wonder a little at how fast rescue got to you?
31589Did you see any sign of water in there? 31589 Did you see them get in the car and drive away?"
31589Did you see where they came from, or went to?
31589Do ghosts have teeth?
31589Do n''t they haunt the place, too?
31589Do n''t you know Barby''s been gone on ghosts ever since she started watching that TV program on Sunday nights?
31589Do you believe it''s real now?
31589Do you mind if we watch?
31589Does the Frostola company know he exists?
31589Expect evidence to float out with the water?
31589Going spook hunting?
31589Got a match?
31589Got any earth- moving equipment in your pocket?
31589Has anyone else seen them in the fields?
31589Has he been on the job long?
31589How about all the soldiers killed in the fighting?
31589How about light?
31589How about you, Scotty?
31589How am I doing, coach?
31589How can anyone make a radio out of junk?
31589How can you be certain?
31589How could chemicals be harmless to the little animals, Rick?
31589How do we know this has n''t two entrances?
31589How do you know this has only one entrance?
31589How do you know?
31589How far have we come?
31589How long do you suppose this shaft is?
31589How valuable is the part asked for?
31589How was the original artesian well driven? 31589 Huh?
31589I did n''t really expect anything,Barby went on,"because who believes in ghosts anyway?"
31589I wonder if he appears when there''s no audience?
31589I wonder if they bite ghosts?
31589If they did n''t dump the tailings there,he thought aloud,"where did they dump them?"
31589Including the upland cornfield above the mine?
31589Interesting formation, is n''t it?
31589Is it? 31589 Is n''t that a Geiger tube?"
31589It was a pretty good effect, was n''t it? 31589 It''s addressed to both Rick and me,"he began,"and it''s from both Barby and Jan. Shall I read?"
31589Jethro Collins?
31589Know where Falls Church airport is?
31589Like what?
31589No chases ending in quarries?
31589No, have you?
31589Not a very cheerful prospect, is it?
31589Notice everything is on one level? 31589 Notice there is n''t any water at all, not even seepage?
31589Now tell me this: why did he take the cement bags?
31589Now what do we do?
31589Now what?
31589Now where are we?
31589Now, why try to lead us on like that? 31589 Only where is this projector located?"
31589Only where was it used? 31589 Or a ghost?"
31589Rear- screen projection?
31589Reset it?
31589Sabotage?
31589Salting?
31589See a way up, Rick?
31589See any rough spots?
31589Sir, how can you be so sure we''ll see the apparition tonight?
31589So what do we conclude from this one event? 31589 So?
31589Something sort of sweet?
31589Starting where? 31589 Steve?
31589Suppose they used up all the rocks throwing them at the Yankee soldiers?
31589Suppose we have a late morning bit of refreshment and use our heads instead of our legs?
31589Tailings?
31589That infected hangnail still bothering you?
31589The FBI?
31589The appearances have been regular since then?
31589Then the Blue Ghost did n''t hurt the water of the pool?
31589There''s no other underground location in which a projector could be stored, is there? 31589 Think the dust has settled?"
31589This field is''hot,''did you know that? 31589 We certainly did n''t make much of a dent, did we?"
31589Were you expecting more?
31589What are we waiting for? 31589 What can I do for you, kids?"
31589What can I say?
31589What did the ghost want with the plane?
31589What do you expect to see?
31589What do you make of that?
31589What do you make of that?
31589What do you suppose Belsely was doing there?
31589What is it?
31589What is the stuff?
31589What makes dogs bark at night?
31589What was funny?
31589What was that all about?
31589What''s methyl chloride?
31589What''s on your mind?
31589What''s the news in Virginia?
31589Whatever made you rush right into the ghost like that?
31589When do we see this ghost?
31589When do we try, tonight?
31589Where does any ghost come from?
31589Where does carnotite come from, usually?
31589Where does this road go?
31589Where is it?
31589Where would it be located?
31589Where?
31589Who needs matches? 31589 Who wanted the land?"
31589Who''s it from?
31589Whose side are you on? 31589 Why are you so interested in this new ice- cream man?"
31589Why do n''t you two wait in the drugstore? 31589 Why not?
31589Why plant grass?
31589Why suppose? 31589 Why the shoestrings?"
31589Why two tunnels?
31589Will you be okay?
31589Wonder if the rain will last long enough to cancel out the Sons of the Old Dominion, or whether we''ll just have some thundershowers?
31589Wonder who is farming it?
31589You do n''t discourage easily, do you? 31589 You know something about him?"
31589You mean you saw ghosts pulling a ghost wagon?
31589You saw no projection beam, I assume?
31589You thinking about chemicals?
31589You were actually in the mist when this cold effect hit you?
31589You''re sold on the man- made idea, huh?
31589You''ve seen the others?
31589After a moment he said,"Clara?...
31589After all, what''s a collection of microscopic animals compared to a genuine, one hundred per cent dyed- in- the- ectoplasm spook?"
31589And why two caches?"
31589Any comments?"
31589Any other facts, even unconnected ones?"
31589Anyone want to look with me?"
31589Anyone would be curious about someone carrying a moldy bag, but why try to conceal that curiosity?
31589Anyway, we invited the boys down to try to solve a mystery, did n''t we?
31589Are you for it?"
31589Bags of radioactive ore dust?
31589Barby asked,"Could it be an explosive?"
31589Barby''s voice said sternly,"Is that you, Rick Brant?"
31589Bennett asked,"Was Dr. Miller actually approached with an offer to buy?"
31589Besides, where would he have parked his scooter?
31589But how can we say that it''s a fact that the Frostola man somehow doused us with chemical?"
31589But if it is n''t, where does that leave us?"
31589But if so, why?"
31589But over what?"
31589But what can we do?
31589But what had the cart been doing?
31589But what had the figures actually been doing?
31589But what was he doing here?"
31589But what were they doing in the cornfield?
31589But what?
31589But who could profit by it?
31589But who ever heard of a haunt that put on nightly performances?"
31589But why did the ghost do such a thing?"
31589But why go to all the trouble?
31589But why keep people out of the area?
31589But why?
31589Ca n''t you think of any way in which your land has value?"
31589Can it be arranged?"
31589Can we get in?"
31589Can you hear me?"
31589Can you imagine what it is?"
31589Coming, Jan?"
31589Could he be a new man?"
31589Could there be some connection between the abandoned mine and the ghost?
31589Did n''t we?"
31589Did the others look solid?"
31589Did you find any?"
31589Do you remember any smell, by the way?
31589Do you think he thought we knew it?"
31589Does he look like a nature lover to you?"
31589Does he want to sell?"
31589Douse the light?"
31589Dr. Miller passed the milk pitcher to Rick, then asked,"Are you certain you heard laughter?
31589Dr. Miller replied,"How about tonight?"
31589During a lull in the traffic Rick asked,"Do you suppose we got here too late?
31589Eyes adjusted?"
31589Fertilizer for the cornfield, maybe?
31589Had anyone stayed to see?
31589Had he been wrong, he and Scotty?
31589Hand me that light, will you?"
31589Have you any idea why?"
31589Have you heard a weather report lately?"
31589Have you?"
31589He asked,"Can I ask a question?
31589He asked,"Is this a public park of some kind?"
31589He asked,"May I have the bag?"
31589He asked,"Was Captain Costin a handsome young man, by any chance?"
31589He called,"What is it?"
31589He did n''t bury them deep, because who would think anything of a bunch of cement bags, except a pair like us?
31589He voiced his thoughts aloud, then asked,"If man- made, and not a practical joke, what''s the motive?"
31589How about that, Dad?
31589How can you tell?"
31589How does it get to where people can see it?"
31589How does the FBI get in on it?"
31589How is it done?"
31589How on earth does it work?"
31589I mean, when did the ghost start making his recent appearances?"
31589I suppose you have no idea where the sample came from?"
31589I''m not arguing that ghosts do n''t really exist, but if they do, they are supposed to be sort of nonsolid, are n''t they?
31589If dry ice was used to produce the mist, how did it get into the pool?
31589If he assumed the bags had arrived full, what had happened to the contents?
31589If so, why did n''t the mine tunnel strike water?"
31589If the Frostola man is new in this area, how could he have known the terrain well enough to lead us on that wild- goose chase?"
31589If you follow me?"
31589Is Tim there?"
31589Is n''t fertilizer soluble in water?"
31589Is n''t that a little odd?"
31589It was n''t a trick of the wind?"
31589It''s almost like a show, is n''t it?"
31589Jan Miller asked,"How do you know all this, Rick?"
31589Jan Miller wailed,"What does?"
31589Miller?"
31589Miller?"
31589Miller?"
31589Now, how did you two do last night?"
31589Now, what else happened about the time the haunting began?
31589Now, what''s the story?"
31589Of course the rock is mostly gray, so that''s the color of the powdered ore.""Then the mine really contains radioactive ore?"
31589Okay, where did the ghost come from?"
31589On the contrary, Jan Miller asked excitedly,"What''s the matter with right now?"
31589On this assumption, the things we need to know are_ how_ and_ why_ is the ghost produced?"
31589Only, why roam the fields?
31589Or a pipe?"
31589Or was that true?
31589Or, if they were n''t hunting, what were they doing?
31589Over an excellent lunch of charcoal- broiled hamburgers, salad, and iced tea, Dr. Miller asked,"Who''s going to tell the tale?"
31589Rick asked,"What were the wind and the laughter the last time we were in here?"
31589Rick kept wondering about the radioactive ore."Could there be any minerals worth mining?"
31589Rick said thoughtfully,"If you were anxious to make your fortune selling Frostola, where would you go to do it?"
31589Rick said,"Suppose we ca n''t get out?"
31589Rick waited while the girls exclaimed over the microscopic creatures, and Mrs. Miller remarked to her scientist husband,"And we drink that water?"
31589Rick whispered,"Where did it go?"
31589Rick, I''ve never heard of this, but I assume the oxide on the razor blade is to act as a rectifier?"
31589Right into the hillside?
31589Scotty asked,"Is the field dry enough for take- off and landing?"
31589Scotty asked,"So this is n''t just any old ghost, it''s a legendary one?"
31589Scotty asked,"Then the ghost is having an effect?"
31589Scotty asked,"Where were you while all this was going on?"
31589Scotty, who was back in the tunnel disposing of a big rock, asked anxiously,"Are you hurt?"
31589See how easy it is to separate fact and conjecture?"
31589See?
31589So what?
31589So where did the ghost come from?"
31589That is, do the real- estate agent and the ice- cream man know each other, and in particular, are they friendly?
31589The ghost''s or mine?"
31589The problem was, where did the ghost producer operate?
31589The projector ca n''t go on operating forever when a clock reaches nine, can it?
31589The question was, did it emerge in a real opening, or only in a hole driven through for ventilation?
31589There are many kinds of ore. Pitchblende is the best, but carnotite, which is a gray rock with yellowish streaks, is also good ore. Got it now?"
31589There''s one thing about peddling Frostola here--""What''s that?"
31589They sat down at the marble- topped soda fountain and Rick asked,"Got any Frostola cream pies?"
31589Think you''ll go?"
31589Unless they had something to do with the mystery?
31589Want a lift?
31589Want to look, anyone?"
31589Was n''t the girls''picnic the first time the ghost made a public appearance?
31589Was that when the clients were brought to see the Geiger counter work?"
31589We tried to find a projector beam the other night, remember?
31589What about it?
31589What did we get for it?
31589What do you make out of that?"
31589What had happened?
31589What had the mission been?
31589What is it?"
31589What say we go look?"
31589What was the meaning of the night''s events?
31589What was the reason for the Blue Ghost?
31589What were the most important facts?
31589What were they hunting?
31589What''s blocking the opening?"
31589What''s the vote?"
31589What?
31589When did the ghost first appear?"
31589When we got hit in our faces?"
31589Where is it?
31589Where is this mine and what kind is it?"
31589Where would we have ended if we had taken the left- hand turn, do you suppose?"
31589Where''s the crowd?"
31589Which way do we go?
31589Who''s the man?
31589Why did the pool bubble?"
31589Why do this?
31589Why not turn on the radio?"
31589Why spread carnotite and then come back to measure it?"
31589Why was it so interesting to the spooks?"
31589Why?
31589Why?"
31589Would he perform for an audience of two?"
31589Yesterday-- or was it the day before?
31589Yet, if it is n''t supernatural, how is it done and who does it?"
31589You checked the plane, did n''t you?"
31589You felt nothing solid, I assume?"
31589You say you''ve seen as many as three men plus the Blue Ghost?"
31589[ Illustration:_"See a way up, Rick?"
31581A what?
31581Any idea what you''re getting into at Scarlet Lake?
31581Any idea what''s at Careless Mesa?
31581Any idea which janitor?
31581Any news? 31581 Anything else?"
31581Anything new?
31581Anything new?
31581Are we supposed to know you once we get there?
31581Are you free?
31581Because there''s more to be learned from them than from the others?
31581Bored?
31581But are n''t they numbered, or trade- marked, or something like that?
31581But do n''t tourists go to ghost towns?
31581But has n''t the rocket been checked already?
31581But he has some other transportation, has n''t he? 31581 But why did he try to scare us off?"
31581But,Scotty objected,"if he does n''t know right from wrong, why should he break up when he found Rick was in the rocket?"
31581Ca n''t you bring him down any faster?
31581Can I ride back to the base with you? 31581 Can I sit in the plane for a few minutes and study, sir?"
31581Can you find out if the clerks leave the warehouses during a shoot?
31581Can you keep secrets?
31581Can you move at all?
31581Can you process the pictures that fast?
31581Can you trust the Chief of Security?
31581Catching''em kind of young these days, hey, Pancho?
31581Could any of the clerks be in on the thefts?
31581Could n''t anyone have found the steel bar?
31581Did anyone climb the tower?
31581Did you say something about a fence, sir?
31581Display on? 31581 Do n''t I recall that you were flying your own plane when you worked on that job at Spindrift?"
31581Do we apply in Las Vegas?
31581Do you have any pilots on hand?
31581Do you make anything out of it?
31581Do you read me, Dick?
31581Do you suppose he''s here now?
31581Do you think this sabotage is the work of an enemy agent?
31581Ever climb a gantry?
31581Ever fly a jet?
31581Ever see a big rocket before?
31581Feel up to getting the jeep?
31581Gloom? 31581 Got the map in your heads?
31581Have there been any more sabotage attempts besides the two you mentioned?
31581Have you found out anything suspicious about any of them, Tom?
31581Have you reported this to Preston or John Gordon?
31581He did? 31581 Here or at a table?"
31581Honest?
31581How about tomorrow?
31581How are you doing?
31581How are you going to pay for it?
31581How did you find out?
31581How did you like it?
31581How do we do this?
31581How do you know?
31581How long will it take?
31581How much space would that many transistors take up?
31581How''d you like to have your life hanging on odds of thirty- five to one?
31581How''s the spacemonk? 31581 How''s your pal and special charge?"
31581How?
31581How?
31581I mean, after all, spies are supposed to use guns or knives, are n''t they?
31581If not an enemy agent, then why the sabotage at all? 31581 Is Pancho a name?
31581Is it okay to talk here?
31581Is it you?
31581Is n''t it a funny weapon for Steve Ames to use?
31581Is n''t that a town?
31581Is n''t that unusual?
31581Is n''t there a guard post this way?
31581Is something wrong?
31581Is that right, Jimmy? 31581 Is the warehouse guarded?"
31581It''s going to be okay, is n''t it?
31581John Gordon come out yet?
31581Like Mac''s truck?
31581Like the postman?
31581Luis? 31581 Meaning?"
31581Mislay a few parts?
31581Now what?
31581Now what?
31581Pegasus was a winged horse,Rick commented,"And are n''t those airfoils on that rocket section near the back of the shed?
31581Quite a character, is n''t he? 31581 Remember the first rule of flying?"
31581Remember where we saw a transistor recently?
31581Scotty, how come Steve knows about slings?
31581Security? 31581 See anything of the base?"
31581See anything?
31581Shall we move them a ton at a time?
31581Should n''t Dr. Gordon be arriving?
31581Should n''t we have been standing guard?
31581Sir, is it okay to ask what this is all about?
31581So the transistors may have been missing for some time?
31581So? 31581 Suppose it''s the right one?"
31581Suppose they get there early?
31581Tell me, Space Commander, what are prodsponders?
31581That your jeep in the wash?
31581The mayor?
31581The road should fork pretty soon, should n''t it?
31581The thief could n''t get his stolen goods from the base if he went through a gate in his own car, could he?
31581The what?
31581The whole project?
31581Then any pilot would do?
31581Then he had no intention of hitting us?
31581Then the pilot who sits in the plane does n''t necessarily have to be what you might call a''hot shot''?
31581Then why ca n''t we find a check pilot here on the base?
31581Then you can be ready, Cliff?... 31581 Then you''re not on a military project?"
31581Think it''s necessary?
31581Think they''d buy it?
31581Think you can follow it?
31581To who? 31581 Want some breakfast?"
31581Was it the Earthman?
31581Was there a picture?
31581Waved?
31581We ca n''t know, of course, but if you were a warehouse clerk and a big rocket went haywire, would n''t you be out watching it?
31581We''re okay so long as the water lasts, but then what?
31581Were we getting too close to something?
31581What about it?
31581What about it?
31581What agency?
31581What are we going to do when we get there?
31581What are you getting at?
31581What are your plans?
31581What did you hit it with-- a hammer?
31581What do these mean?
31581What do you want for the price? 31581 What do you want the boys to do?"
31581What does spring- loaded mean?
31581What does that mean?
31581What gave you that idea?
31581What happened to it?
31581What is it?
31581What kind of channels?
31581What name?
31581What now?
31581What on earth is a monkey doing here?
31581What say we roll right on through the town without stopping, then turn and come back through that wash at the base of the hills?
31581What time is it?
31581What was that last crack about?
31581What would such a place need to be like?
31581What''s that?
31581What''s that?
31581What''s the matter with right now?
31581What''s the reward?
31581What''s the work?
31581What''s this? 31581 What''s up?
31581What''s your idea?
31581What?
31581What?
31581What?
31581When did you boys get to Scarlet Lake?
31581When did you find out Frank Miller was the Earthman?
31581When do I get to see this beloved child of yours?
31581When?
31581When?
31581Where are the used- car dealers located?
31581Where are we going?
31581Where are you going to get the parts?
31581Where are you going?
31581Where are you supposed to go?
31581Where did you get it?
31581Where did you get it?
31581Where do you go when you''re on a field radar job?
31581Where is he now?
31581Where?
31581Who are you, Mr. Ogg? 31581 Who are you?"
31581Who are you?
31581Who ever heard of a non- airconditioned spacesuit?
31581Who is Deadrock Ogg?
31581Who is the Earthman?
31581Why do you feel rotten, if you do n''t mind my asking?
31581Why else would he run off?
31581Why not?
31581Why? 31581 Would he need to?
31581Would n''t the gang have been at his hide- out instead of here in the hotel? 31581 You are both very young, eh?
31581You decided something?
31581You did n''t see them, did you?
31581You fired a rocket?
31581You have n''t heard? 31581 You mean David killed Goliath with two pieces of string and a piece of canvas?"
31581You mean he''s insane?
31581You mean the fireman who fell in the propellant?
31581You''ll be in the blockhouse, I suppose?
31581A Jaguar?"
31581A quarter of a million bucks makes a little sabotage worth while, huh?"
31581A voice asked,"Will we turn''em loose later?
31581A voice whispered,"Wonder who they are?"
31581Across the building which served as a base for the giant spaceman was a glowing sign: THE SPACEMAN CASINO"What say we drop in?"
31581Also, it would need to be a lonely place, would it not?
31581An evil man like this Earthman would not care what a ghost saw, would he?
31581And do you know what that means?"
31581And what happened?
31581And, after last night, how could he suspect any of the dedicated, hard- working rocketeers?
31581Any developments we should know about?"
31581Any idea where he is now?"
31581Any idea where that is?"
31581Are you a busybody?
31581Are you busybodies, or have you got a right to snoop?"
31581As Barby made a beeline for the library, Scotty called after her,"Where are you going?
31581As they drove to the hotel, Rick asked,"Is it really in good shape?"
31581Besides, who has heard of Steamboat?
31581But how about Scotty?
31581But how?
31581But is ole Gee- Gee satisfied?
31581But what was it?
31581But why are you so sure they could n''t sabotage a rocket?"
31581But why the rush?"
31581But you know about this Earthman?"
31581Can we fly our winged horse on this new schedule?"
31581Can you be ready?"
31581Can you both go?"
31581Can you think of any other way?"
31581Check?"
31581Correct?"
31581Could n''t the clerk find them?
31581Did n''t he know the clip was apt to vibrate off during the flight?
31581Did n''t lunch make you sleepy at all?"
31581Did you ever see so much chow?"
31581Did you get the Earthman?"
31581Did you notice the town marked''Steamboat''on the map?
31581Do I have a fever?"
31581Do you suppose that was Mac and Pancho that came from the base?"
31581Earle asked crisply,"What''s this all about?"
31581Earthman?
31581Ever been cleared?"
31581Ever notice how the cleaning men work?
31581Finally he gasped,"You mean the wings are to turn the upper section into a glider in order to land it again?"
31581For instance, how did Deadrock Ogg know the car would be traveling without lights?
31581Get the picture?
31581Going to eat?
31581Good?"
31581Gordon?"
31581Had Scotty heard the snake?
31581Had the Earthman appeared again?
31581Have n''t you got the feeling this is a wild- goose chase?"
31581He asked quickly,"What happened?"
31581He asked weakly,"Right now, sir?"
31581He asked, without taking his eyes from the scope,"How much can he stand?"
31581He asked,"Can I sort of toss it around a little?"
31581He asked,"Do you know vector analysis?"
31581He asked,"Is it okay to ask what you do?"
31581He checked it, then asked,"What are we waiting for?"
31581He cleared his throat and asked,"Do you read me?"
31581He returned in a moment with a portable tube and circuit tester under his arm and paused to ask,"What''s up, boy- oh?"
31581How about the one- arm bandits?"
31581How about the radar unit he and Pancho run?"
31581How about you?"
31581How are you fixed?"
31581How can he help?"
31581How did he know?"
31581How did you like his idea about the ghost town?"
31581How important is it for Careless Mesa to track the shoot?"
31581How many times have I told you not to feed Dismal at the table?"
31581How on earth did you get it?"
31581How say you?"
31581How would you hide stolen goods, if you had to do it?"
31581How''s the temperature?"
31581I did n''t hear any talk, did you?"
31581I mean, to whom?"
31581I mean, what legitimate reason could they have?"
31581If a truck, say, were gone too long, would it not be noticed?"
31581Is it too late for lunch?"
31581Is that clear?"
31581Is that how you figure it?"
31581Is that the connection?"
31581Is there anything unusual about this job?"
31581Is this security?
31581Jerry watched the shape on the radar screen climb to higher altitude and asked,"What''s his velocity?"
31581Know what I mean?"
31581Later, as they rode through the star- studded night in their jeep, Scotty suddenly asked,"What do you think of Big Mac and Pancho?"
31581Later, when he had a chance to talk with Scotty alone, Rick asked,"How about Mac and Pancho?
31581Look, we''ve kind of assumed Mac and Pancho are in on this, have n''t we?
31581Next?"
31581Not until the fireman had been cared for did Scotty say, almost apologetically,"Any of that stuff left?
31581Now what?
31581Now, what are you doing here?"
31581Obviously you''re employed on the base, but on what projects?"
31581Okay?"
31581Only he does n''t take it into town, remember?"
31581Or a nickname?"
31581Or did it?
31581Or do you have a right to snoop?"
31581Or had they taken the parts along?
31581Otherwise, why would they say_ unauthorized_ persons?"
31581Remember what Colonel Preston said about the clerks?
31581Rick asked bluntly,"Why did you shoot at us?"
31581Rick asked,"Are you just being curious?"
31581Rick asked,"What are the possible places?"
31581Rick thought,"How could anyone sabotage a thing like that?"
31581Rick wondered if Mac and Pancho had come to keep a rendezvous?
31581Rick, what''s your story?"
31581Roger so far?"
31581Roger?"
31581Roger?"
31581Scotty asked anxiously,"How do you feel?"
31581Scotty asked quickly,"When did it happen?"
31581Scotty asked,"But why did the men handle us so gently last night?
31581Scotty asked,"What''s the name of this base?
31581Scotty whispered,"What do we do now?
31581See how this area is scuffed up?
31581Suppose I gas up the jeep and meet you at the barracks?"
31581Suppose I wander over to the project?
31581Suppose the Earthman has got in his licks?"
31581Tell me, do you think this_ hombre de terra_, this Earthman, was the cause of the tragedy this morning?
31581The boys gave their names, then Scotty asked,"How did you get into town?
31581The question is, does Pegasus wish to take over the Cetus schedule?"
31581The question was, had the men simply hidden them?
31581Then who''ll know you did n''t spend the night in Vegas?"
31581Think you''ll be around for it?"
31581Transistors missing?"
31581Wait for the Lone Ranger and Tonto?"
31581Want one bit of data to chew on while you''re waiting?"
31581Was anything stolen?"
31581Was n''t anyone watching?
31581What I meant was, is there anything new on the Earthman?"
31581What about?"
31581What are the wings for?"
31581What are you doing here?"
31581What are you going to have?"
31581What are you two doing?"
31581What do you think, boys?"
31581What in the name of a simple- minded spacefish did that mean?
31581What other explanation is there?
31581What shape are you in?"
31581What time is it?"
31581What''s left to check?"
31581What''s the next step?"
31581What''s this about the Earthman?"
31581Where are the others?
31581Where did you find it?"
31581Where had the night gone?
31581Where is Cliff Damon?...
31581Where is such a place?"
31581Where will you be?"
31581Where''ll we put these kids?"
31581Who had done it?
31581Who taught you about polarization?"
31581Who was n''t an earthman?
31581Who would have anything to gain but an enemy?"
31581Why add murder or mayhem to the list of charges when you gain nothing?"
31581Why did n''t someone respond?
31581Why did n''t someone think of signaling him that he had been seen?
31581Why did n''t you just ask us to leave?"
31581Why did n''t you report it?"
31581Why should anyone come to the ghost town, especially in a darkened vehicle?
31581Why was n''t the control responding?
31581Why was n''t the hatch locked?
31581Why would Miller do such a thing?"
31581Why would they take a truck out?
31581Why?
31581Why?"
31581Will you come to visit me again?"
31581Will you have any trouble?"
31581You drove in, hey?
31581You from Scarlet Lake?"
31581You from Scarlet Lake?"
31581You know what?
31581You know?
31581You wo n''t get lost?"
31581Zircon, Weiss, and Winston?
31581[ Illustration:_"What are you doing here?"
37146Any apertures-- holes or cracks-- in your flooring or walls or ceilings?
37146Are you sure?
37146But a shrewd person, knowing the contents of all those letters, could have learned what you intended to do?
37146But when she finished the letters, she went out?
37146Did either you or she answer a call on the''phone?
37146Do you know how long Miss Winthrop has owned the little silver box which is now on her desk, near the telephone?
37146Do you talk in your sleep?
37146Do you use a typewriter?
37146Honest?
37146How many?
37146How would you kill me, for instance?
37146I presume that is strictly honest?
37146Is Miss Winthrop at your office now?
37146No man knows your business?
37146Or called up a friend on the telephone?
37146Or perhaps sent something out-- carbon copies of the letters?
37146Or signaled to someone through the window?
37146Or the door?
37146So you did know Mr. Ralph Matthews after all?
37146Someone listened at the window?
37146Telegraph operator?
37146The letters you wrote were intercepted?
37146Was she in the scheme, too?
37146Well, who is in your confidence?
37146What do I do?
37146What do you mean, sir?
37146What happened?
37146What kind?
37146What make of typewriter does she use?
37146Where is Miss Mitchell?
37146Who is he, please?
37146Who was in the room besides you and Miss Winthrop before the letters were sent?
37146Why?
37146You mean that the deal must be purely imaginative?
37146You outlined the plan in those letters?
37146Do the same men, the same clique, appear against you all the time, or is it only one man?"
37146Is that right?"
37146What could I do?"
37146Where did you buy it?"
37146Why could n''t I have thought of that in the first place?..."
37146Why?
34369And just what difference does it make?
34369And now you''ve had a piece of good luck?
34369And what are your orders?
34369And where did she claim to have found this document?
34369And why should n''t I?
34369And you expect us to take that?
34369Any luck?
34369Are they trying to break down the door?
34369Are you hurt?
34369Are you hurt?
34369Are you sure there was a will?
34369Are you sure?
34369Are you the caretaker of this house?
34369But how does it happen you know the combination of the safe?
34369But of course we can have the room?
34369But what can I do except to obey the letter and visit the property?
34369But what can I do?
34369But what else is there to be afraid of?
34369But what purpose can he have in playing such pranks?
34369But where can it be hidden?
34369But who could be so mean, Dad? 34369 But who do you suppose conceived such a plan?"
34369But wo n''t that inconvenience both of you?
34369By the way, do you know where I could get a picture of Jacob Winters?
34369By the way, how do you explain the will made out in your favor?
34369By the way, what became of the newspaper today? 34369 Can I reach Brookport by train or bus?"
34369Come back and see us often, wo n''t you?
34369Could n''t we go to a hotel and come back in the morning? 34369 Dad, how did you get here?"
34369Did it strike you as queer the way Mrs. Leeds acted when I mentioned we were going to Raven Ridge tomorrow?
34369Did you have any luck today?
34369Did you know Jacob Winters well?
34369Did you leave milk at our doorstep this morning?
34369Did you never see him?
34369Did you notice his appearance?
34369Did you really think the will was genuine, Penny?
34369Did you say Raven Ridge?
34369Did you say you were going to Raven Ridge?
34369Did you think it was the will?
34369Do n''t you think it might advertise that we''ve discovered this tunnel? 34369 Do n''t you want to go?"
34369Do you hear the same thing I do?
34369Do you live near here?
34369Do you mean to suggest that Alicia and I are not related to Jacob Winters?
34369Do you still want to go through with the plan?
34369Do you think Mrs. Leeds could have picked it up?
34369Do you think he''ll ever produce the photo?
34369Do you think she would resort to such a trick?
34369Do you think they''ll look all right with my red party frock?
34369Do you think we could be in an abandoned ore mine?
34369Has that car of yours broken down again?
34369Have n''t you anything better than this?
34369Hello, what''s the big hurry?
34369Honestly?
34369How did the organist reach the third floor if he did n''t pass through this door?
34369How did you get wind that Mr. Winters''ivories were kept in the house?
34369How did you happen to construct it?
34369How do you suppose it came to be there?
34369How should I know?
34369How would you like to take a little trip?
34369How?
34369I came to find out what you mean by entering Mr. Winters''house when he''s away?
34369I did n''t say so, did I? 34369 I mean, what are you doing in this house?"
34369I suppose it is nothing but a joke,Rosanna acknowledged,"and yet why should a key be enclosed in the letter?"
34369I suppose you thought it was n''t robbery when you decided to cheat Rosanna Winters out of her inheritance?
34369I suppose you were the ghost, Max?
34369I think it would be nice, do n''t you?
34369I wonder how old the girl is? 34369 I wonder if Raven Ridge will be as pretty as this?"
34369I wonder if by any chance she could have picked up your letter and key?
34369I wonder if it could have been that man who passed us on the road?
34369I wonder what Mrs. Leeds and Laponi were up to?
34369I wonder what evidence she referred to?
34369I wonder what got into him all at once?
34369I wonder why Caleb and Max Laponi were going at each other in such dreadful fashion?
34369If Mr. Eckert ca n''t tell us what became of my uncle, who could?
34369If you ca n''t produce the letter or the key, what proof have you that you actually are Jacob Winters''niece?
34369If you did n''t have a key how did you get into the house?
34369Including me?
34369Is Dad home yet?
34369Is he a known criminal?
34369It isn''t-- you do n''t think the house is haunted?
34369Ivories?
34369Jacob Winters is dead is n''t he? 34369 Just what is it that you want me to do?"
34369Just what is your proposition?
34369Locked?
34369May I ask where you found it?
34369May I see the letter which you say you received?
34369Miss Winters, may I speak with you a moment?
34369Mr. Laponi, has this girl lost her senses?
34369Must we stay here tonight?
34369Names?
34369No?
34369Now what shall we do?
34369Now what?
34369Oh, so you read about it?
34369Out early this morning, are n''t you?
34369Penny, what do you intend to do with that weapon?
34369Penny, where did you get that thing?
34369Placed there deliberately, you think?
34369Pray what do you find that is so humorous?
34369Queer noises?
34369See anything?
34369See anything?
34369Shall I call Mrs. Leeds and Alicia?
34369Shall we go on to Andover or stop at the Winters''house?
34369Should n''t we turn back?
34369Sleep well?
34369Sleep well?
34369So you have n''t got it?
34369So you noticed it too?
34369So you''re old Jacob Winters''niece?
34369Tell me, did you ever hear of a lawyer by the name of Elfhedge with an office at Brookport?
34369Tell me, is n''t there a pipe organ on the third floor of Mr. Winters''house?
34369Tell me, is that where old Winters hid his ivory collection?
34369Tell me, why did you write the letters?
34369The mysterious ghost?
34369The will?
34369The will?
34369Then why do you go up there again?
34369Then why were you upstairs at this time of night? 34369 Then you believe he is the one who has been frightening the household by playing on the pipe organ?"
34369Then you did get my wire?
34369Then you have n''t a key?
34369Then you heard it too?
34369They''re three dollars, are n''t they?
34369To see if your name was mentioned?
34369To watch for the ghost?
34369Trying to steal the Winters''booty, were you?
34369Visitors?
34369Want to come along?
34369Was he driving a gray coupà ©?
34369Well, what do you think of it?
34369Well, what is it you want to know this time?
34369Well, what is it you want to know?
34369Well, what''s wrong with the idea?
34369Well, why do n''t you look at it then?
34369What are you doing here, may I ask?
34369What are you doing in my house?
34369What are you going to do?
34369What became of that man who knocked me down?
34369What became of the collection?
34369What can I do? 34369 What did he collect?"
34369What did he look like?
34369What did you mean by asking about a paper she had burned?
34369What do you mean?
34369What do you want of a picture?
34369What do you want?
34369What else can we do?
34369What frightened you so?
34369What ghost?
34369What if something should happen?
34369What if we should run into that dreadful man-- the organist?
34369What is going on here?
34369What is it?
34369What is it?
34369What is it?
34369What is the meaning of this outrage?
34369What is the meaning of this?
34369What is?
34369What makes you think that? 34369 What makes you think that?"
34369What of the document I found in the drawer of the desk?
34369What other room can you give us then?
34369What place are you looking for?
34369What right have you to say what is to be done here? 34369 What shall we do?"
34369What sort of information?
34369What things?
34369What time is it?
34369What was that you said?
34369What were you saying?
34369What''s that?
34369What''s this?
34369What?
34369What?
34369When do we start for the station?
34369When do we start?
34369When will you send the wire?
34369Where are we to sleep?
34369Where are you going?
34369Where are you?
34369Where do you suppose he went?
34369Where do you suppose we''re going anyway?
34369Where will we go?
34369Where?
34369Who can it be?
34369Why did n''t you call in the police?
34369Why did n''t you send him away at once?
34369Why did you do that?
34369Why did you lock us out?
34369Why does n''t it open?
34369Why not leave this place today?
34369Why not visit this lawyer and have a talk with him? 34369 Why not?"
34369Why should I have a key?
34369Why should n''t I be?
34369Why should that bother him?
34369Why, Mr. Eckert, does n''t this call for some explanation?
34369Will it do us any good to remain?
34369Will the car fare be very much do you think?
34369With you?
34369You are a stranger in Belton City?
34369You are certain it was sent?
34369You are my uncle, are n''t you, Mr. Eckert? 34369 You counted a lot on the inheritance, did n''t you?"
34369You have n''t heard Mrs. Leeds or that Laponi fellow say anything about leaving have you?
34369You mean the imprint on the dusty surface of the organ bench?
34369You mean to say you did n''t hear the music?
34369You mean-- indefinitely?
34369You really do n''t mind?
34369You suspect that because you found the revolver in his room?
34369You''re his niece, are n''t you?
34369You''re not aiming to leave today?
34369After all, my uncle never saw me so why should he have left me any of his money?
34369Are you hurt?"
34369Are you the caretaker?"
34369Ashland is n''t very far from Snow Mountain, is it?"
34369But if he did n''t recognize us, why did he slow down and then speed up?"
34369But what can be the purpose behind it all?"
34369But what can we do about it?"
34369But what of it may I ask?"
34369By the way what''s in the box?"
34369By the way, did n''t the old man have a valuable collection of ivories?"
34369Could she have been mistaken in believing him to be the thief who had stolen the diamond ring?
34369Did n''t Mr. Laponi have proof of it?"
34369Did n''t you, Alicia, my dear?"
34369Did you ever hear of Raven Ridge?"
34369Had Mr. Winters written Rosanna''s name?
34369Have you had supper?"
34369I wonder if Mr. Winters did leave his ivory collection in the safe?"
34369If Mr. Winters''collection of ivory is still in the house, do n''t you think it should be removed to a safer place?"
34369Is n''t it exciting?
34369It is your decision to have no share in the spoils?"
34369Leeds?"
34369Leeds?"
34369Leeds?"
34369May I examine the will?"
34369Penny smiled broadly as she inquired:"Did n''t you enter into an agreement with Mrs. Leeds to defraud Rosanna?"
34369She asked carelessly:"I do n''t suppose your wire has anything to do with Jacob Winters or the estate?"
34369She directed her gaze upon Max Laponi as she questioned:"How did you learn that Mr. Winters kept the ivory collection in this house?"
34369This is n''t another of your jokes?"
34369Was the ring a valuable one?"
34369What if it too were locked?
34369What was he like?"
34369What would the night bring forth?
34369When did you send the wire?"
34369Who tore it out of the album?"
34369Why are you so interested in it?"
34369Why does n''t he play as he''s always done before?"
34369Why should Mr. Winters tell me where he kept his valuables?
34369Winters?"
34369Would he look out?
34369Would they be seen?
34369Yet who had played the joke upon Rosanna and for what purpose?
34369You did n''t see anyone as you came up the stairs to find me?"
34369You do n''t really mind?"
34369You have n''t a car of your own or one you could borrow?"
34369You remember the letter do n''t you, Penny?"
34369You surely do n''t intend to go away from here while she and her daughter are camped in the house?"
34369You told Mrs. Leeds----""Well, you''re not Mrs. Leeds, are you?"
34369You''ll not be afraid to go with me, will you?"
28161About Isobel?
28161Adelaide, then,I said,"may I ask you a question?"
28161After all, the gardens are the nursery of life, are they not? 28161 Allan,"I said,"you agree with me?"
28161And Isobel?
28161And Mr. Greatson has?
28161And after that?
28161And afterwards?
28161And all the time no one else has been to see you or written to you?
28161And failing that?
28161And may I ask of whom your household consists?
28161And no reply?
28161And now that you have told me all this,she asked, after a long silence,"does it remain for me to make my choice?
28161And of the betrothal of the Princess Isobel?
28161And this Madame Richard,I asked,"is she a kindly sort of a person?"
28161And what do you suppose his object was in bringing her away from the convent?
28161And what relation is he?
28161And where does he live-- in London? 28161 And who is going to tell it to you?"
28161And who,I asked,"is Mr. Gorman?
28161And why should I shrink from that?
28161And why,I asked,"should a penniless orphan, as I understand Isobel is, be of so much interest to Madame Richard?"
28161And why?
28161And why?
28161And you, Arthur?
28161And you, Arthur?
28161And you, Arthur?
28161And you?
28161And you?
28161And you?
28161And your friend-- the man who shot him-- where is he?
28161And?
28161And?
28161Any news?
28161Anything from Feurgéres?
28161Are my miniatures sold, please?
28161Are there no times,she asked in a low tone,"when these things fail you?
28161Are we never to meet without quarrelling, Arnold?
28161Are we not Bohemians, and is it not our text?
28161Are you not afraid,she asked with a smile,"to send her out alone with Tobain?"
28161Are you sure?
28161Are you,I asked,"going to employ the police?
28161Arnold, can you imagine it? 28161 Arnold, you will come with me, will you not?"
28161Arnold,he said abruptly,"do you believe in presentiments?"
28161Arnold,he said,"where is Isobel?"
28161Arnold,she murmured,"shall you miss me?"
28161Arnold,she said quietly,"you care-- whether I am happy or not?
28161As a pupil still?
28161Besides, for a perfectly lazy person, are you not rather a hard task- mistress? 28161 But not till then?"
28161But shall I never see you again, Arnold?
28161But surely you are aware,she remarked,"of the source of some at least of these attempts?"
28161But surely you know, Madame Richard-- you have heard of the tragedy which happened in London? 28161 But surely,"she protested,"you will not dare to keep the child?"
28161But who can say? 28161 But why is Lady Delahaye so cruel-- why is she so anxious that I should not stay with you?"
28161But you do not know who she is?
28161But, monsieur,the woman said,"how can that be?
28161Ca n''t we go, Arnold?
28161Ca n''t you give me an engine which will make up the twenty minutes?
28161Can I see the Baron von Leibingen?
28161Can I speak with you alone, monsieur?
28161Can you not hear it?
28161Can you repeat it?
28161Can you tell me anything about him, Mr. Greatson? 28161 Can you tell me his name, or shall we look for his card- case?"
28161Can you tell me what that light is?
28161Can you tell me what time the Archduchess leaves, and from what station?
28161Can you tell me,he asked, raising his hat,"if this is Roseleys Cottage, the residence of Mr. Arnold Greatson?"
28161Can you too match Allan''s excuse?
28161Can you wonder that I was anxious to avoid all publicity?
28161Come,I said,"what are the things you want me to talk to you about, and why are you tired of talking nonsense with Arthur?"
28161Did Major Delahaye ever mention his wife to you?
28161Did he arrive by train, or was he meeting anyone at Charing Cross?
28161Did he give you any idea of his intention? 28161 Did you know him?"
28161Did you not understand?
28161Did you remember him?
28161Do I understand, Madame Richard,I said,"that you decline to give me the address of those who stand behind you in the disposal of Isobel?"
28161Do n''t you see that the Princess is here, and the Archduchess of Bristlaw? 28161 Do you believe, then,"she asked,"that I am her enemy?
28161Do you expect that we shall continue our-- I suppose we may call it guardianship-- of Isobel in the face of your present attitude?
28161Do you forget all your acquaintances so quickly, Baron?
28161Do you know if the Continental train is punctual?
28161Do you know where Isobel is now?
28161Do you mind coming home now, Arnold?
28161Do you mind coming this way? 28161 Do you not want to send her your love?"
28161Do you see how thick and green the grass is in the meadows there? 28161 Do you think that he will get away?"
28161Does she wish to speak to me?
28161Eh? 28161 Even-- to the Rue Strelitz?"
28161Forty pounds, is it not? 28161 Found your plot, then, eh?"
28161Give me a couple of cigarettes, there''s a good chap, and do we feed at home to- night?
28161Had he any peculiarity of feature or expression, anything which would help towards identification?
28161Had you seen him before he came to the convent and fetched you away?
28161Has the King,I asked,"taken any steps to discover Isobel?"
28161Have you anything to say to her?
28161Have you questioned her,Mabane asked,"about her friends?
28161Have you said anything to her?
28161Have you sent for the police?
28161Have you,I asked,"been to the police?"
28161He has not told you-- yet?
28161He is rather trying to- night, is n''t he?
28161He will not be very long, I suppose?
28161He will return?
28161How about the commissionaire, then?
28161How about the others?
28161How did you find us?
28161How do you know that?
28161How far were they behind you?
28161How should we all live if none of you did any work?
28161How was he dressed?
28161I am safe, Arnold?
28161I beg your pardon-- is who here?
28161I can do nothing for you, then?
28161I may never see you again, you know, after this evening, so it really does not matter-- but would you mind calling me Adelaide?
28161I ought to have asked some entertaining people, ought n''t I? 28161 I presume,"I said,"that we are here with the same object?"
28161I should n''t have been much of a guardian, should I, if I had n''t fetched you out of this scrape? 28161 I suppose you will allow me to see Isobel?"
28161I wish,she murmured,"oh, I wish----""So we''ve found you at last, have we?"
28161I wonder if you know who I am?
28161I wonder,she murmured,"why the way to one''s duty lies always through Hell?"
28161I''ll go in and have the cigarette,he said,"but, Arnold, there''s no fresh move on, is there?
28161If Isobel will have me, then,he said,"you will not object?"
28161If you had it here----?
28161In how many minutes,she asked,"may I be released?"
28161Is Isobel here, Baron?
28161Is he in custody?
28161Is it a revolver?
28161Is it necessary,she asked,"for me to accept this money?"
28161Is it this child, then, who is to open the gates of the world to us?
28161Is it time for us to go?
28161Is it true-- what he has told me?
28161Is it true?
28161Is that Calais?
28161Is that all, Arthur?
28161Is the fresh air so wonderful a tonic, or have you been asleep and dreaming of Paradise?
28161Is there any real reason, Lady Delahaye?
28161Is there anyone we know here, then?
28161Is this,I asked,"an invitation to me to join in the spoils?
28161Is this,Mabane asked curiously,"a practical joke, or a part of your plot?
28161Is your story already written?
28161Isobel has, I presume, then, relatives living?
28161Isobel is intended, then?
28161Isobel is, I trust, well?
28161It could not have been an accident, I suppose?
28161It is not worth while, is it? 28161 It was at the Café Grand, you said, was n''t it?"
28161It''s enough, is n''t it?
28161London-- is not all like this, then?
28161Madame,I answered,"why do you trouble to demonstrate such obvious facts?
28161May I ask exactly what this means?
28161May I ask what your intentions are with regard to the child? 28161 May I ask who gave it you?
28161May I ask you this?
28161May I ask, sir, how long you have been playing the eavesdropper?
28161May I assume then,I continued, with some eagerness,"that you know what that is?
28161May I beg for your escort a little way?
28161May I know their names?
28161May I offer you a chair, Lady Delahaye?
28161Meaning?
28161Motoring, I presume,Mabane remarked,"is amongst the pleasures denied to the young ladies of the convent?"
28161Mr. Arnold Greatson?
28161Mr. Greatson,she said,"do you know what I should want you to do if I were Isobel-- what I am quite sure that she must want you to do now?"
28161My dear Arnold,she said,"for myself I adore candour, and why should I try and deceive you?
28161None?
28161Not a word?
28161Not if I starve for it, Allan? 28161 Off?
28161Oh, Monsieur Arnold,she cried breathlessly,"you do not think-- I shall not have to return there?"
28161Pardon me,he said,"but you are Mr. Arnold Greatson, I believe?"
28161Princess,I said gravely,"have you examined the windows?"
28161Sent?
28161Shall I come?
28161Shall we catch it?
28161Shall we have to give her up?
28161She has been ill. Where shall I take her?
28161She has gone?
28161So you see, Sir Hermit,she murmured,"what happens to those who will not go to the mountain?
28161St. Argueil? 28161 Tell me again-- where did you telegraph him?"
28161The best sitter-- oh, hang it, who''s that?
28161The man who was with the girl,Arthur asked at last--"this Major Delahaye, or whatever his name was-- is he dead?"
28161The other gentleman wo n''t mind?
28161The story goes, then?
28161The story,she said,"which you would not show me?"
28161The young lady, then?
28161Then surely you must know something more about him than just his name?
28161Then surely you recognized him in the restaurant?
28161Then where am I to take you?
28161Then why,I asked,"are you here?"
28161These are your reasons, then?
28161They are there still, then?
28161This, I believe, is the young person who was with my husband?
28161Unless----"Unless what?
28161Was I very stupid? 28161 Was the man who shot him,"I asked,"concerned in the child''s earlier history?"
28161Well, Sir Knight Errant,he said lightly;"so you could not free the maiden?"
28161Well, where was he taking you to?
28161Well,she said,"is that so much to be wondered at?
28161Well?
28161Well?
28161Well?
28161What about Delahaye?
28161What am I to say to your friend?
28161What are you doing here?
28161What are you two old dears worrying about?
28161What did I tell you?
28161What did the Archduchess want?
28161What did you say that your name was, madam, and the number of your miniatures?
28161What do you mean?
28161What do you propose to do yourself?
28161What do you say to a drink, Arnold?
28161What friends?
28161What have the police to do with it? 28161 What have you been doing to yourself?"
28161What is he to you, Arnold-- this man?
28161What is it that you call yourself, girl?
28161What is your name?
28161What made you think of it-- just now?
28161What right have you to the child? 28161 What will you gain?"
28161What''s the matter with Arthur?
28161What''s up with Arnold?
28161Where are Arthur and Isobel?
28161Where are you looking? 28161 Where are you off to, Arnold?"
28161Where else should she be?
28161Where is Monsieur Feurgéres?
28161Where is he?
28161Where is the child?
28161Where, then,she asked,"is Isobel?"
28161Which of you three young men are going to fall in love with her?
28161Who is this young person?
28161Why are you and Isobel staying on in Paris?
28161Why did you not tell me this before-- at the Mordaunt Rooms, for instance?
28161Why have you refused to use the money which I placed to your credit at the National Bank for her?
28161Why not let me share your knowledge?
28161Why not to- night, indeed?
28161Why not to- night?
28161Why not? 28161 Why not?"
28161Why not?
28161Why would you not show me that story, Arnold?
28161Why?
28161Why?
28161Will he recover?
28161Will you come inside, or shall we sit here in the shade?
28161Will you favour me,I said,"by becoming a little more explicit?"
28161With what object, Monsieur Feurgéres?
28161With whom?
28161Without thought for the morrow?
28161Would it not be as well for me to wait for Monsieur Feurgéres?
28161Would the spell,I asked,"be broken if I shared the knowledge?"
28161Yes, it is so, is it not?
28161Yes? 28161 You agree, surely?"
28161You are Mr. Arnold Greatson, are you not?
28161You are a friend, I believe, of the man who murdered my husband?
28161You are going away, Allan?
28161You are going to see him?
28161You are leaving to- day, then?
28161You are not even to come to Illghera with us? 28161 You are not related to him, then?"
28161You are not thinking, Arnold-- you would not be so mad as to think of giving her up to any of these people?
28161You are serious?
28161You are staying at Eastford House, then?
28161You came here to see him first? 28161 You decline to meet me fairly, then-- to tell me the truth?
28161You did not even know, then, when you arrived in London where he was taking you?
28161You do n''t remember the circumstances under which he took you there, I suppose?
28161You do not believe it, Arnold?
28161You do not doubt, then, but that it is the Archduchess who has done this?
28161You do not think,Mabane asked,"that she was Major Delahaye''s daughter?"
28161You doubt my word, sir-- my word, and the word of the Archduchess?
28161You expected me, then?
28161You have been in communication with her, have you?
28161You have heard the news from Waldenburg?
28161You have no idea who he was?
28161You have orders?
28161You heard everything, Isobel?
28161You heard from the convent this morning, Arnold?
28161You knew?
28161You know what happened this afternoon? 28161 You know where he is now?"
28161You know why I have come, then?
28161You made no promise?
28161You mean the man who shot Major Delahaye?
28161You mean the man who shot Major Delahaye?
28161You mean to say that you picked her up there?
28161You mean, then, that I am unforgiven?
28161You mean,I said,"that you wish to take her away from us?"
28161You mean,I said,"the subject of Isobel?"
28161You mean,he exclaimed softly,"that you won''t-- that you do n''t want to come?"
28161You mean----?
28161You mean--?
28161You mean?
28161You read the newspapers, Sir Hermit?
28161You remember the chap who was with the Archduchess at the Mordaunt Rooms?
28161You sat by accident at the same table?
28161You see that box?
28161You see,Arthur protested,"it is a little different, is n''t it, for you fellows?
28161You think-- that she understands?
28161You were with him, were you not?
28161You will come with me?
28161You will give me your hand, Isobel?
28161You will let me order you some tea?
28161You will not leave me alone?
28161You will permit me?
28161You will say good- night?
28161You will vouchsafe me,she begged, speaking very slowly, and keeping her eyes fixed on me,"some reason for your refusal?"
28161You would have me let the man go free who shot another in the back treacherously and without warning?
28161You would, of course, inform the police?
28161You-- are going?
28161Your Highness knows, then, of the convent?
28161Your interest, then?
28161Your master has perhaps someone waiting to see him?
28161Your name is Greatson, is it not-- Arnold Greatson? 28161 Your sympathies, in short, are with the murderer rather than with his victim-- the man who was shot without warning in the back?
28161''But, Monsieur, dejeuner?''
28161Am I to become murderer, or poisoner, or abductor, or what?"
28161And the stout old gentleman?
28161And-- what do you make of those two, my young friend?"
28161Any news?"
28161Anything else?"
28161Are we always to remain at this great distance?"
28161Are you hungry, Isobel?"
28161Are you ready?"
28161Are you really going to write a serious novel, Arnold?"
28161Are you satisfied with those five years?
28161Arnold, Allan, can you smell the honeysuckle?"
28161Arnold, may I walk with you for a little way?
28161Arnold, why does my aunt hate me so?"
28161Arnold?"
28161Arthur?"
28161As for the rest, Mr. Greatson, what does it matter whether the hour is late or early?
28161At the same time, if anyone has the right to provide for the child, why do they not come forward and claim her?"
28161At whose instigation you sent?"
28161Beyond that, I was pledged not to hand her back into your husband''s care, and----""Pledged by whom?"
28161Burdett?"
28161But I do not think that escape is so impossible after all, is it?
28161But afterwards----""Well?"
28161But does it occur to you, Arnold, that this-- young lady seems particularly adapted for a convent?"
28161But that is not happiness, is it?"
28161But where?"
28161But why do you hesitate to give the child up to me?"
28161But----""Please what, Arnold?"
28161By- the- bye, are you going to the works in that costume?"
28161CHAPTER VIII"This, then,"the Prince remarked, raising his eyeglass,"is the young lady whose romantic history you have been recounting to me?
28161Ca n''t people earn money sometimes by doing these things?
28161Ca n''t you give me a few hints?
28161Can I help you?
28161Can not I choose for myself how I shall spend my life?"
28161Can you guess why?"
28161Can you make no better guess?"
28161Can you realize, I wonder, that Isobel of Waldenburg was once the child who filled your brain with such strange fancies?"
28161Chertsey Street, eh?
28161Come and see me again, wo n''t you?
28161Could n''t I stay here for a little while?"
28161Could you bear to think of banishing from your life for ever all the colour and the sweet places, all the joy of living?
28161Did he speak of Major Delahaye at all as though he knew him?"
28161Did she know?"
28161Do n''t you see that you are a pigmy, who has stolen through the back door into the world where great things are dealt with?
28161Do n''t you think it would be a good idea if we drew stumps for a bit?"
28161Do n''t you think that, for the good of everyone, and even for your husband''s own sake, the thing had better remain where it is?"
28161Do you consent?"
28161Do you know anything about this affair, sergeant?"
28161Do you think that a girl of Isobel''s age and appearance is in her proper place in bachelor quarters, living with three young men?"
28161Do you yourself know anything of the child''s parentage?"
28161Does he know who she is?
28161Does my offer sound like it?"
28161From whom have you learnt the story of this young lady''s antecedents?"
28161Got any tobacco, Arnold?"
28161Greatson?"
28161Greatson?"
28161Greatson?"
28161Greatson?"
28161Greatson?"
28161Had I indeed done greater things than Feurgéres, and summoned to my side real flesh and blood?
28161Have you a few minutes to spare?"
28161Have you ever had hay fever, Isobel?"
28161Have you reflected, Mr. Greatson, that it may not always be so?"
28161Have you seen a face, a look, a gesture-- anything to prick your imagination?"
28161How are they going to explain that, these wonderful relations of mine?
28161How could I, when I knew that for one who read between the lines the story of my own suffering was there?
28161How dare you force yourself upon strangers in this fashion?"
28161How dare you talk to me of a creature like Feurgéres?
28161How do I know that you speak the truth?
28161How long will these content you?
28161How long will you fellows be dressing?"
28161How long will you stop your ears and forget that life has passions and joys which these dead things can never yield to you?"
28161How the quaker grasses glimmer?--you call them so, do you not?--and how those yellow cowslips shine like gold?
28161How will that suit the Archduchess?"
28161I am afraid that he is very ill.""You were not in the room at the time it happened?"
28161I am afraid----""He will break the compact?"
28161I asked,"why you should not tell me now what you propose to tell Isobel in a year''s time?
28161I do n''t like the way she looks at the man, do you?
28161I exclaimed,"what made you think of that just now?"
28161I have n''t done anything that you do not like, have I?
28161I have not changed so much, have I?
28161I presume that attempts have been made to withdraw the child from your care?"
28161I presume that you did not come here solely with the purpose of expressing your amiable opinion of my veracity?"
28161I presume that your meeting in some way concerned Isobel?"
28161I presume you are aware that your present attitude is capable of very serious misrepresentation?"
28161I think that we ought all to spend the day together, do n''t you?
28161I want you to marry Isobel, and I hope you will both be very happy-- and-- will you please kiss me once?
28161I wonder if he is her father?"
28161If he sits here and just imagines them, how can he be sure that they are the real thing?
28161If you do, will you give her a message?"
28161In that case I suppose we-- shall be compelled to send the child back to the convent?"
28161In what manner?"
28161Is anyone short of a fool ever satisfied?
28161Is it fame which you have found so potent a tonic?"
28161Is it your wish that she returns to Waldenburg, or is she to remain Isobel de Sorrens?"
28161Is n''t that a perfect impression of the world unseen, half understood?
28161Is she not at your house in London?"
28161Is that someone going by?"
28161Is that wise, my friend?"
28161Is this true?''
28161Is your languid muse stirred?
28161It accords, I presume, with your idea of fair play?"
28161It is a hideous- looking affair, but what can one do?"
28161It is n''t quite like that with you two, is it now?"
28161Lady Delahaye is an old friend of yours, is n''t she?"
28161Man alive, do you know what pot- boilers are?
28161May I offer you a chair?"
28161May I proceed to ask a somewhat impertinent question?
28161May I take the liberty, Baron von Leibingen, of wishing you good- night?
28161Mr. Arthur, how can I thank you?
28161Mr. Mabane, you will not permit this?"
28161Much better pay and more fun, and all that sort of thing, and-- oh, hang it all, Arnold, is it likely a fellow could stay here now she''s gone?"
28161No times when like calls for like, when the human part of you finds the comfort of ashes a dead thing?
28161Not to visit us even?"
28161Novelist,"he exclaimed,"have you succeeded?
28161Providing that the result of them be as I suspect, I presume you would have no objection to relinquish the child to my protection?"
28161See what I mean?"
28161Shall I tell you what he said, Arnold?"
28161Shall we go in and sit down?"
28161Shall we take a fiacre?"
28161She would be quite safe then, would n''t she?"
28161Should I be offered poison in a jewelled cup, or disposed of in a cruder fashion?
28161Since when had thoughts like this come to her?
28161Since when was it given to you to read the future so glibly, my friend?"
28161Surely the Archduchess, the daughter of a King, is not one whose proffered kindness it is well to slight?
28161Tell me, what shall we do?"
28161Tell me, whereabouts is this school from which you came, Isobel?"
28161Tell us, Arnold, did you really discover nothing?"
28161Was he a friend of yours, sir?"
28161Was it the ghost of Madame Richard who stood there pale, cold, and in the sombre garb of her sisterhood?
28161Was it the motoring, I wondered, which had prompted her half- wistful question, or had I been wise too late?
28161What about her father?"
28161What an odd meeting, is n''t it?
28161What are they doing over there?"
28161What could he do but strike?"
28161What course was open to him?
28161What cunning tune can she have played upon your heartstrings that you should espouse her cause with so much fervour?
28161What did she see there, I wondered?
28161What did you mean by such an extraordinary statement?"
28161What do you mean by it, sir?
28161What does it all mean?
28161What had they done to her, these people, that she should scarcely have been able to crawl across the platform?
28161What had they done to make her accept their bidding, and leave England without a word or message to any of us?
28161What is it all about?"
28161What is the name of the Principal?"
28161What is your name, child-- Isobel?
28161What is your own relationship to Isobel?"
28161What might the change not mean for us?...
28161What more can a man want?
28161What price are you willing to pay?"
28161What should I do at Court?"
28161What were you thinking of just now?"
28161What''s this?
28161When are you going to engage a chaperon for her?"
28161Whence all this good- nature?"
28161Where do I come in, I should like to know?"
28161Where on earth did you come across the child?
28161Where was it, Baron von Leibingen?"
28161Where were you last night?"
28161Where, for instance, does Mr. Gorman go?"
28161Which is the more fitting place for her-- my house, or your chambers?"
28161Which state of mind do you think, Miss Isobel, draws from a man his best work?"
28161Which way shall I go to find these real men and real women, to look upon these tragic happenings?
28161Who are you?
28161Who can tell?
28161Who is she?"
28161Who the devil are you, sir, and what do you mean by speaking to my ward?"
28161Who''s this?"
28161Why can not my mother leave her alone with you?
28161Why did n''t we come here long ago?"
28161Why do n''t you be wise, and let the child go?
28161Why do you ask?"
28161Why ever did Isobel leave you?"
28161Why not?
28161Why not?
28161Why should I not want to think?"
28161Why was Major Delahaye sent to St. Argueil for Isobel, and what was he supposed to do with her?"
28161Why-- why-- you do n''t mind, do you?"
28161Why?
28161Why?"
28161Will Delahaye really die, do you think?"
28161Will that help you?"
28161Will you allow me to wish you good- night?"
28161Will you be so good as to see me to my carriage?"
28161Will you come this way?"
28161Will you leave me with Mr. Greatson for a few minutes?"
28161Will you pay for me, please?"
28161Will you permit me to apologise for the lateness of my visit?
28161Will you permit me?"
28161Will you see her now?"
28161Will you swear to keep the child from him?"
28161Will you tell me what they are?"
28161Would you be content to build for yourself a tomb, to commit yourself to a living death?"
28161Would you prefer your wine a shade colder?"
28161Would you, Arthur?"
28161You agree with me so far, Allan?"
28161You agree, Mabane?"
28161You are a man, are you not, like the others?
28161You are acquainted, perhaps, with her parentage?"
28161You are here, of course, to visit the convent?
28161You are on your way to the South Coast, I presume?"
28161You can not mean that?"
28161You have chosen a very delightful night, but are you not-- pardon me-- a little off the track?
28161You have flowers too, then, in London?"
28161You have something to propose-- some compromise?"
28161You intend to take her to your home-- to adopt her, I suppose?"
28161You know the law?"
28161You remember my friend, Mr. Allan Mabane?"
28161You see those blurred woods, and the fields sloping up to the mists?
28161You understand me, do n''t you?"
28161You understand what I mean, do n''t you?
28161You will be prepared?"
28161she added, turning suddenly towards me,"that even you will not question my right to assume the guardianship of my own niece?"
28161she asked,"have you closed the gates of the garden behind you?"
26306''They have done''? 26306 A clandestine engagement then?"
26306About Cicely?
26306Advice, Mr. Cromarty? 26306 All night, without any one knowing he had n''t gone to bed?"
26306Alternatives to what?
26306Am I?
26306An approximate perpendicular to roughly about these places gives this exact measurement?
26306And I suppose Lady Cromarty believed him?
26306And Miss Farmond? 26306 And Mr. George Rattar certainly died a short time ago, did he?"
26306And Sir Malcolm?
26306And any one who knew Sir Reginald at all well could count on his not giving the alarm then if they tapped at the window?
26306And are these all your troubles now, Mary?
26306And cook is to be kept talking in the kitchen?
26306And do n''t you think then we have them still?
26306And how did you get at that?
26306And it was n''t like that yesterday?
26306And knew nothing up till six months ago?
26306And nobody in the house heard or saw anything?
26306And now what about the window? 26306 And partly what else?"
26306And then he swindled him, did n''t he?
26306And then you came out to see me?
26306And thought it was an important fact, I suppose?
26306And what are Bisset''s conclusions?
26306And what course of action did he advise?
26306And what deduction would you draw from that, sir?
26306And what did Mr. Rattar do with the piece of mud?
26306And what did Mr. Rattar think?
26306And what did she say?
26306And what makes you think I can assist you to-- er-- recover your identity, Miss Farmond?
26306And where does the table come in?
26306And where will you find the lady that''s to succumb to my fascinations? 26306 And where''s Sir Reginald?"
26306And who is educating you?
26306And who was this man?
26306And why are you so positive that I can tell you?
26306And why did n''t he cry out or raise the alarm in some way while he was backing away?
26306And women at the best have just the ae''thought-- who''s gaun to be fool enough to marry next? 26306 And you deliberately tell me you got there as much by good luck as good guidance?"
26306And you do n''t want anybody to know?
26306Any fresh facts?
26306Any luggage?
26306Any other known vices?
26306Anyhow you ca n''t believe Cicely Farmond had anything to do with it?
26306Apparently confirming the direct evidence?
26306Are n''t you?
26306Are the servants intelligent girls?
26306Are you a detective?
26306Are you going to stay on with the Cromartys long?
26306Are you in a hurry?
26306Are you still working the case for all you know how?
26306As a blind? 26306 Ashamed of what?"
26306At this moment all I can tell you is to answer the question:''Who benefits by Sir Reginald Cromarty''s death?''
26306Because the master walks there at nights?
26306But I suppose you agree with Sir Reginald?
26306But am I to leave it?
26306But are you sure? 26306 But did n''t all that make you suspect him?"
26306But do you mean to say that you think that story will hold water?
26306But had n''t he some trouble at one time with his brother?
26306But how did Sir Reginald''s body come to be lying near the door?
26306But how did you first learn?
26306But how else----?
26306But how-- who did it?
26306But how?
26306But merely as he always did?
26306But surely you''re not believing yon story that it was Sir Malcolm and Miss Farmond after a''?
26306But what about Miss Cromarty?
26306But what can one do?
26306But what connection could there possibly be, sir? 26306 But what did Mr. Rattar mean by saying you had engaged the detective because you suspected Malcolm and me?"
26306But what sort of girl is she otherwise?
26306But what sort of motives did you expect? 26306 But why not?
26306But why should he go and spread such a story?
26306But will the castle prevent him marrying?
26306But wo n''t people then-- er-- talk about me any longer?
26306But would it really be convenient? 26306 But you ca n''t think of any likely errand to take her in so late in the afternoon?"
26306But you did n''t see him, sir?
26306But you do n''t suggest he sat up that night in particular?
26306But you''d already begun to suspect Rattar, had n''t you?
26306But you''ll have gotten a guid idea whae''s din it by noo, George?
26306But, Mr. Cromarty-- you do n''t believe that''s right surely?
26306But, look here, Carrington, have you collected no other facts whatever about this case?
26306But-- er-- how?
26306By the way, had you heard of George Rattar at that time?
26306By the way, what''s your name?
26306By the way,he asked, turning back,"did he tell you where he is going to now?"
26306By the way,said Simon,"you have been out at Keldale this morning, I presume?"
26306Can you imagine me daring to wig Mr. Simon Rattar?
26306Can you think of any one?
26306Can you?
26306Come into a fortune?
26306Come now, number one----?
26306Conversation with whom?
26306Damn it, Mr. Rattar, is the fact that a farmer benefits by a shower any evidence that he has turned on the rain?
26306Deny it? 26306 Did Sir Reginald ever forget to snib the windows, supposing one happened to be open?"
26306Did anybody tell you, or did you make it up?
26306Did n''t you even hear anything, sir?
26306Did she tell you so?
26306Did the maid-- or did you know about the engagement?
26306Did the police come down and make enquiries?
26306Did the servants ever speak of it again?
26306Did ye ken who he was?
26306Did you find it upset?
26306Did you look for them?
26306Did you look out of the window, sir?
26306Do n''t you really know that I am honestly quite ignorant?
26306Do they correspond now?
26306Do you expect to get hold of a means?
26306Do you know the story that''s going about, Lilian?
26306Do you know what the foolish man did? 26306 Do you mean to say his own heir-- and a young girl like that----?
26306Do you mean to say that gave me away?
26306Do you mean to tell me literally that_ no_ such conversation took place? 26306 Do you mean to tell me you doubt it?
26306Do you mean to tell me, honour bright, that Simon Rattar told you that lie in so many words?
26306Do you really think so?
26306Do you recognise his ring?
26306Do you suggest that the irregularity is apt to breed crime?
26306Do you think it''s credible?
26306Do you think yourself the results are very bad?
26306Do you threaten me?
26306Er-- why is it ridiculous?
26306Ever since you have known him?
26306Excuse me, sir,said he,"but could you not manage just to stop on for a wee bit yet?"
26306Excuse me,said Mr. Carrington,"but can you tell me where this path leads?"
26306For Sir Reginald''s murder? 26306 For what?"
26306Funny?
26306George Rattar? 26306 Got in your way, did he?"
26306Had a look at his brother''s grave?
26306Had she any news?
26306Had ye seen him on the platform?
26306Half a dozen stories?
26306Has Sir Reginald really any good reasons for not telling me?
26306Has anybody asked either of them if they are-- or ever were-- engaged?
26306Have either of them admitted it?
26306Have n''t you heard?
26306Have you any idea whom she saw or what she did?
26306Have you asked him that question?
26306Have you come into a fortune? 26306 Have you ever studied the French methods of getting at the truth?"
26306Have you found one?
26306Have you noticed rats in the house?
26306Have you settled where to go?
26306Have you spotted it yet?
26306He actually advised you to bolt?
26306He lay like this?
26306He lost a ring which would n''t come off his finger? 26306 He was once Simon Rattar''s partner, was n''t he, Reginald?"
26306How and when?
26306How did it happen? 26306 How did the window get unsnibbed?
26306How did you come?
26306How did you discover that?
26306How did you get here?
26306How did you hear?
26306How did you know?
26306How do you know?
26306How long ago precisely was that?
26306How the devil did you guess?
26306How-- how do you know that?
26306However, what are the other discoveries?
26306However, what next?
26306I am a mere stranger to the place, and if you and Mr. Rattar and the police are baffled, what can I suggest?
26306I am answering the question-- who that could conceivably have committed it, had a motive for doing so? 26306 I hope not,"he said in the same grim tone,"but do you mean to say it does n''t strike you as the damnedest slander ever spread?"
26306I suppose Lady Cromarty has been nearly distracted?
26306I wonder whether Simon put this announcement in himself, or whether brother George arranged it in his will? 26306 I would n''t get in a funk and ring the bell?"
26306I_ was_ thinking Silent Simon was in luck''s way-- but perhaps you''re going to wig him?
26306In the first place, sir, I understand that you have been making enquiries through the county yourself, sir; is that not so?
26306Including me?
26306Including the kicking?
26306Indeed?
26306Indeed?
26306Indeed?
26306Indeed?
26306Indeed?
26306Is Mr. Simon Rattar at home?
26306Is anything the matter?
26306Is it called in question?
26306Is it quite certain that those two are engaged?
26306Is n''t he?
26306Is n''t she?
26306Is that Lady Cromarty?
26306Is that how it strikes you?
26306Is that the whole list of them?
26306It''s you, is it? 26306 Just think yoursel''how would you like to be watched through the window at the dead of night as you were sitting in your chair?
26306Keldale House?
26306Lady Cromarty, I believe?
26306Last thing before he left the room, I suppose?
26306Letter book and business ledger?
26306Likely to be coming north soon?
26306London detective? 26306 Looking for finger marks?"
26306Matter?
26306May I ask your ladyship''s authority-- in strict confidence of course?
26306May I have a word with you?
26306May I see them?
26306Me?
26306Meaning that Sir Malcolm and Miss Farmond were concerned?
26306Meaning--?
26306Might I come in and write a line to be left for him?
26306Mind telling where you got''em?
26306Miss Cromarty does n''t complain, I hope?
26306Mr. Rattar in?
26306Next?
26306No coincidence occurs to you?
26306No footprints outside, I suppose?
26306No fresh evidence?
26306No known cause? 26306 No message left, or anything of that kind?"
26306Not really?
26306Not the table being cowpit and the body moved?
26306Nothing more than that?
26306Nothing to say?
26306Now what do you make of that? 26306 Now which was Sir Reginald''s chair?
26306Now,said he,"suppose I was Sir Reginald, and there came a tap at that window, what would I do?"
26306Of course you''ve looked for footsteps underneath?
26306Of course, you have a copy of it in your letter book-- and also Sir Reginald''s reply?
26306Of what? 26306 Oh, have you no_ curiosity_ yourself-- especially about who your parents were; supposing you did n''t know?"
26306Oh, indeed, miss? 26306 Oh, it was on your advice then?"
26306Oh,she said as though throwing the subject aside,"she is nice and quite pretty, but very young, and not very sophisticated; is she?
26306People do n''t say that, do they?
26306Pulling my leg; or a real car?
26306Really a burglary in this house? 26306 Really, Malcolm, how can I possibly tell what your confidence is going to be beforehand?
26306Really? 26306 Reason?"
26306Run away again?
26306Saw''something''?
26306She''s in her room, is n''t she?
26306Sir Malcolm and the Farmond girl? 26306 Sitting in the library I suppose?
26306Sitting up late?
26306Slipped his memory? 26306 Stay on in this house of mourning?
26306Stayed-- here?
26306Supposing,he suggested,"we were to draw the curtains and light these candles for a few minutes?
26306Surely, sir,he burst forth at last,"you''re not thinking this goes to indicate any deductions or datas showing she''s guilty?"
26306Tell me honestly,demanded Ned at last,"have you actually no clue at all?
26306That is the only point about it which strikes you?
26306That kind of gun once more? 26306 That sort of fellow, is he?
26306That your trouble?
26306That''s all the new evidence then?
26306That''s rather a suggestive idea, is n''t it?
26306That''s the place where the murder was committed, is n''t it?
26306The feet were towards the door, just as though he had been facing the door when he was struck down?
26306The grunting old devil told you that?
26306The scent is too cold by this time--"Who let it cool?
26306The tag was not broken before he put on the coat?
26306The very night of the murder?
26306Then Mr. Rattar did n''t believe it was a burglar?
26306Then Shearer gets the farm?
26306Then are n''t you working with old Simon?
26306Then have you kept him in touch with everything you have done?
26306Then how came the window to be unfastened?
26306Then how on earth did you ever get on to the right track?
26306Then it must have been some one from outside-- but who?
26306Then it''s only out of curiosity that you enquired?
26306Then that''s all nonsense I''ve been talking, sir?
26306Then there you are-- what''s the motive?
26306Then there_ is_ something between them?
26306Then what''s come over the man? 26306 Then why do you think it was upset?"
26306Then will this be the end of my-- er-- painful position?
26306Then you propose to hush the thing up?
26306Then you simply go by your impressions of people?
26306Then you think there is something in the popular theory that the present baronet and Miss Farmond were the guilty parties?
26306Then you wo n''t tell me where you''ve been?
26306Then you would n''t think there would be any harm, sir, in my continuing my investigations?
26306Then,said Ned,"why should Sir Reginald have opened the window of his own accord to a stranger at the dead of night?"
26306Then----began Simon, and stopped and changed it into:"What does Carrington suspect-- er-- accuse me of?"
26306They actually accuse Malcolm Cromarty and Miss Cicely of--?
26306They are said to have actually committed it, are n''t they?
26306They are the usual not too intelligent country bobbies, I suppose?
26306They say that, do they?
26306To what extent did he benefit by the will?
26306Uninteresting? 26306 Was anybody sitting up late?"
26306Was anything stolen?
26306Was anything stolen?
26306Was he really?
26306Was he?
26306Was his room near or over the library?
26306Was it the same man, do you think?
26306Was the window shut or open?
26306Well now,continued the superintendent,"the question is-- how did the murderer get into the room?
26306Well, Ned,she asked,"where on earth have you been?"
26306Well, and what shall I do-- string you up now or hand you over to the police?
26306Well, sir,demanded the butler,"what''s your own theory?"
26306Well, what next?
26306Well,said he,"how much is the cheque to be this time?"
26306Well,she said, though not very sympathetically,"what do you want to be sympathised with about now?"
26306Well-- who did? 26306 Well?"
26306Well?
26306Well?
26306Well?
26306What about Keldale House?
26306What about the other windows, and the doors? 26306 What about?"
26306What are they doing?
26306What are you doing next?
26306What are you going to do?
26306What are your plans, Cicely?
26306What day did he lose it?
26306What do you know?
26306What do you mean?
26306What do you suggest?
26306What do you think yourself, Bisset? 26306 What do you think?"
26306What does that matter?
26306What else?
26306What for?
26306What for?
26306What happened about that?
26306What happened?
26306What has happened?
26306What have they got there?
26306What have we discovered?
26306What have you found? 26306 What if you made things worse?"
26306What is he hiding?
26306What is it?
26306What is the name of Mr. Rattar''s head clerk?
26306What o''clock does he generally go out?
26306What old fellow?
26306What precisely did you guess?
26306What proof have you of this story?
26306What shall I say to Lady Cromarty?
26306What sort of a girl is Miss Farmond?
26306What story?
26306What story?
26306What story?
26306What the-- then who the devil is this?
26306What was George Rattar then?
26306What was it done with?
26306What was?
26306What were the exact facts?
26306What woman?''
26306What''s on your mind, man?
26306What''s that?
26306What''s the matter?
26306What''s the matter?
26306What''s up?
26306What''s your own height, Bisset?
26306What''s your own theory then?
26306What, when we saw it this morning?
26306What-- what does Carrington mean?
26306What?
26306Whatever do you mean, Malcolm?
26306Whatever put that into people''s heads?
26306When did Lady Cromarty begin to take up this attitude?
26306When is she coming?
26306When was he found?
26306When was that?
26306When? 26306 When?"
26306Where are you bound for?
26306Where can I have seen him last?
26306Where did he die?
26306Where have you?
26306Where?
26306Which am I to believe?
26306Which is that?
26306Which is the best of these hotels?
26306Who but the usual lady? 26306 Who can have started such a story?"
26306Who could it have been, sir?
26306Who did you tell it to, Ned?
26306Who is saying this?
26306Who started it?
26306Who started the lie?
26306Who told Lady Cromarty?
26306Who told you that Cicely Farmond was engaged to Malcolm Cromarty?
26306Who told you?
26306Who you are?
26306Who?
26306Whose track?
26306Why Rattar?
26306Why did n''t he rob something then?
26306Why do n''t they acknowledge it now and get married?
26306Why do you believe her more than me?
26306Why do you want to see Sir Malcolm?
26306Why has this never come out before?
26306Why not?
26306Why not?
26306Why not?
26306Why?
26306Why?
26306Why?
26306Wondering what?
26306Wondering what?
26306Worse than you have admitted to me?
26306Would you like to smoke a pipe?
26306You actually think it might conceivably be true?
26306You admit there is no proof?
26306You are acquainted with him then?
26306You are sure that Lady Cromarty wo n''t object?
26306You are sure?
26306You believe this story, do you?
26306You coming to see Simon on business too?
26306You could n''t let me have a very small cheque, just to be going on with, could you?
26306You did n''t happen to overhear him giving any directions to the chauffeur, did you? 26306 You do n''t mean that just now and then he takes a wee drop too much?"
26306You may call it blackmail if you like, but what was the sort? 26306 You mean the direct evidence afforded by the unfastened window, position of the body, table said to have been overturned, and so forth?"
26306You mean to insinuate that if you tempted Simon, he''d be as bad a hat as his brother?
26306You mean to suggest that any conclusion has been reached?
26306You say he looked as though he were being_ watched_?
26306You say that your employer made a particular point of having his identity concealed?
26306You think Mr. Cromarty interesting, then?
26306You think he left the fireplace and went round by the window to fetch such a useless weapon as that?
26306You think she is innocent?
26306You want me to assist you, I take it?
26306You went and killed him?
26306You wo n''t give me away to Sir Reginald, will you? 26306 You''re not thinking of Cicely, are you?"
26306You''ve no heard it, sir?
26306You-- you think they are important?
26306''Why the something,''says he,''should they want to put me in the bag now?
26306Again he was silent for a moment, and then enquired:"Why do you come to me now?"
26306All at once he asked abruptly:"Robbie, did ye see yon man next door sitting with his face in his hands?"
26306Almost just four months ago, was n''t it?"
26306And above all, why was she going at all, leaving her bicycle at a wayside station and with her sole luggage a small suit case?
26306And also, what was that motive?"
26306And could it only be the master, doing this curious thing, or was it some one-- or something-- else?
26306And how are you going back?"
26306And then he asked:"Is it the case that she is engaged to Sir Malcolm?"
26306And then he started and exclaimed:"But how the h-- did you know I smoked?"
26306And then he suddenly turned his monocle on to the baronet and enquired:"But how do you know you are suspected?"
26306And then you were good enough to help me with that loan, and-- well, that''s all, is n''t it?"
26306And this path leads only to Keldale House?
26306And what do you think he did?"
26306And what had he at the end of them?
26306And what have I been doing?"
26306And what ought one to do?
26306And what proof is that of anything?
26306And what''s silica?
26306And you are really suspected?"
26306And you yourself, Mr. Rattar,_ know_ both these young people, and you believe that this accusation against them is probably well founded?"
26306And, by the way, how did you guess Simon was at the bottom of it?"
26306Any evidence against him?"
26306Any other legatees who might conceivably have committed the crime?"
26306Anyhow she said nothing, and, that being so, how did you first actually know that you were suspected?"
26306Anything fresh happened?"
26306Are n''t we, Louisa?"
26306Are there any facts known to you or the police beyond those I have read?"
26306Are there any more mysteries, Mary, connected with this house?"
26306Are you as the head of the Cromarty family, and I as their factor, to do this?"
26306Are you looking for the hotel?"
26306Are you?"
26306At the same time, hang it, you would n''t have me turn my own kinsman and heir out of my house, Margaret; would you?"
26306At the same time-- what''s his object?"
26306Bisset replied with another question, asked in an ominous voice:"Have ye seen yon castle o''his, miss?"
26306But I must get facts-- as distinguished from the Kings Arms''gossip, and how was I to get them without giving myself away?
26306But I say, Mr. Rattar, what are you going to do?"
26306But I''m not well read, and I''m not-- but what''s the good in telling you?
26306But he compressed his lips and merely asked:"Well?"
26306But how do I know whether it''s a slander?"
26306But that fact is hardly against her, is it?"
26306But the story is such obvious nonsense, Bisset, that surely no one in their proper senses really believes it?"
26306But were the windows fastened before Sir Reginald came in to sit here last thing?"
26306But what interests me, miss, about yon eye is this----"He paused dramatically and she enquired in an encouraging voice:"Yes, Bisset?"
26306But what''s your deduction, sir?"
26306But why are you afraid?"
26306But you know, do n''t you?"
26306By the way, did you get much change out of him?"
26306By the way, it sounds an odd question to ask about Mr. Rattar, but have you ever seen any sign of a pipe or tobacco in the house?"
26306By the way, what are you going to do now?"
26306Ca n''t you turn it away from me?"
26306Can you arrange for him to run up here for a day?"
26306Carrington weighed it in his hand, and then said to the prisoner:"You put it in the end of a stocking, I suppose?"
26306Carrington?"
26306Carrington?"
26306Carrington?"
26306Carrington?"
26306Could you give me his London address?"
26306Cromarty?"
26306Cromarty?"
26306D''you see?"
26306Dear Mr. Rattar, wo n''t you tell me?"
26306Did Sir Reginald ever sit with his window open late at night at this time of year?"
26306Did n''t you feel it too, Cicely?"
26306Did n''t you know?
26306Did you know I''d happened to see her start and gone after her and brought her back?"
26306Did you think they were engaged?"
26306Do you actually believe I am capable of killing a man in cold blood?
26306Do you know what he told her?
26306Do you know where she had been?"
26306Do you mean that they have stopped looking for the murderer?"
26306Do you mean to say it''s actually_ true_?"
26306Do you suspect anybody?"
26306Do you think it is?"
26306Does your hearth brush always stay in the same position?"
26306Especially the honoured head of my own house?"
26306Excluding that, what must have happened?
26306For a few moments he was silent, and then he asked:"What other people benefited by the will and to what extent?"
26306For who could this mysterious man be?
26306For who knew what they stood to gain by this will?
26306Frankly then, you engaged me to come down here?"
26306Got the statement made up?"
26306Had the intruder come through or gone away?
26306Has he only one eye, by any chance?"
26306Have n''t you got on the track of any possible reason for the deed?"
26306He had n''t been having any trouble with Rattar, had he?"
26306He knew where she had got to stop, but where had she meant to stop?
26306He laughed again, and then resuming his businesslike air, asked:"Now, what else about this Mr. Cromarty?
26306He paused for a moment and then asked still more gently:"Are you afraid of me?"
26306He stared at the other for a moment, and then demanded,"Why did he tell you that lie?"
26306His hand was on the handle when the lawyer turned in his chair and asked:"Why was nothing said about Sir Malcolm''s engagement to Miss Farmond?"
26306How can I remember?"
26306How could they be?"
26306How did Sir Reginald not cry out when he saw the man?
26306How did he get Sir Reginald to come to the table?
26306How did he not see him?"
26306How did things come?"
26306How do you know?"
26306How much-- a million-- two million?"
26306How was I to get any change out of him?
26306However, what''s your next conclusion?"
26306I mean with any of the tenants, or his tradesmen-- or his lawyer?
26306I only mean-- well, people do differ in character and experience, do n''t they?"
26306I say, Miss Peterkin, what about these gentlemen having another wee droppie with me, all round, just to celebrate the occasion?"
26306I take it you put your magnifying glass back in your pocket after your trip out to Stanesland?"
26306I wonder if the idea had entered her head before, or if the will alone started it?
26306I''m an utter stranger here, but is n''t that the place where the murder took place?"
26306I''m no blaming her ladyship at that point, but where she departit from the proper principles of evidence----""When did Rattar come?"
26306If I can do anything-- anything whatever, you''ll let me know, wo n''t you?"
26306If I disliked cigarettes, knew smoking was bad for me, and stood in danger of being fined if I was caught doing it, why should I smoke?
26306In a few minutes she would be gone--"Where?"
26306Is she at all a murderous lady?"
26306Is that not a fair deduction too, sir?"
26306Is that not a fair deduction, sir?"
26306Is that not a fair deduction, sir?"
26306Is that not a fair deduction, sir?"
26306Is that quite clear?"
26306Is that so?"
26306Is there any one?"
26306It is n''t for my sake, is it?
26306It only means an income of-- what?"
26306May I have a line of introduction to Mr. Bisset before I go?"
26306May I smoke?"
26306Near or distant?"
26306Ned held out his hand, and then suddenly said,"You do n''t see any business doing just yet?
26306Ned paused for a second and then rapped out:"Was it Simon himself?"
26306No difficulty with Lady Cromarty or anything?"
26306No suspicion of any kind?
26306Now about this bad brother of Mr. Rattar''s-- there could n''t be trouble still outstanding, you think?"
26306Now what''s the history of that man?"
26306Now where''s he hidden himself?
26306Now, I want to know this-- is there anybody else in the neighbourhood who knows that I have been sent for?"
26306Now, do n''t you?"
26306Of course, you spotted the coincidence straight off?"
26306Oh-- you mean it has a story?"
26306Or that they stood to gain any blessed thing at all?
26306Or where would she go to- morrow?
26306People expect so much of a detective, do n''t they?"
26306Possibly she was not aware of it and had counted on travelling to-- where?
26306Rattar?"
26306Rattar?"
26306Rattar?"
26306See, Neddy dear?"
26306Sir Malcolm is in London, I understand?"
26306Stanesland gave ye a lift, did he?
26306Swear?"
26306That was a pretty stiff one about your engaging Carrington, was n''t it?"
26306That was obvious, was n''t it?"
26306That''s a fair deduction, is it not, sir?"
26306That''s what made the master say it couldna have been a burglar at all, or how did he snib the window after he went out again?"
26306The burglar did n''t take that, did he?"
26306The laird and his sister sat down to lunch and in about ten minutes Miss Cromarty remarked,"So you drove Cicely Farmond home?"
26306The longer she lay awake the more certain she grew that evil was afoot; and yet what could be its shape?
26306The silence was broken by Ned asking brusquely:"Do n''t you believe me?"
26306The theory fits all the other facts remarkably, does n''t it?"
26306Then he merely said:"Indeed?"
26306Then he pulled himself together sharply and asked:"How did it happen?
26306Then in a curious voice he asked:"Is this the first time you have used this?"
26306Then, what next?
26306There is no doubt about that, is there?"
26306This?"
26306Those are all the chances, are n''t they?"
26306Those are the facts, are n''t they?"
26306Was it a mere delusion?"
26306Was n''t it, Ned?"
26306Was that open or shut or what?"
26306Was_ that_ the reason then?"
26306Weel then----""And what did Lady Cromarty say to you?"
26306Well, what''s happened?"
26306Were the blinds down that night?"
26306Were they all fastened in the morning?"
26306What alternative is possible?"
26306What are you going to do with the money now?"
26306What did you expect to be accused of?"
26306What do you advise?"
26306What do you know about him?"
26306What does it mean?
26306What have I actually done?
26306What kind of sound?
26306What next?"
26306What sort of a fellow is Sir Malcolm?"
26306What sort of a fellow is he?"
26306What sort of a fellow is he?"
26306What was the man''s game?"
26306What''s glass?
26306What''s his number?
26306What''s it consist of?"
26306What''s the motive?
26306What''s your theory now?"
26306What, having a cup of tea in his room?
26306When and how?"
26306When did it happen?"
26306When did she hear?"
26306Where had he hidden it?"
26306Where have you been?"
26306Where have you been?"
26306Where was she going-- and why was she going?
26306Who is she?"
26306Who is there in this place?"
26306Who knows?
26306Who told you I was setting a detective on to you?"
26306Who told you?"
26306Why did n''t you tell me more before I went in?"
26306Why did you run away?"
26306Why need the man have been a stranger at all?"
26306Why should we have conspired to do such a dreadful thing?"
26306Why wo n''t you tell me?"
26306Why?
26306Why?"
26306Will you send for him or not?"
26306Will you?"
26306Will you?"
26306Would n''t you really rather be alone?
26306Would you like to earn £ 1, Cicely?"
26306X THE LETTER It was a few days later that Cicely looked up from the local paper she was reading and asked:"Who was George Rattar?"
26306XXXIV A CONFIDENTIAL CONVERSATION The laird of Stanesland strode into the Kings Arms and demanded:"Mr. Carrington?
26306You ca n''t guess who advised her to bolt?"
26306You do n''t absolutely hate me, do you?"
26306You do n''t suppose he will confess, do you?"
26306You follow that, sir?"
26306You fully understand?"
26306You have n''t bought your own gun, I suppose?
26306You know my business?"
26306You know then?"
26306You were saying?"
26306You wo n''t refuse me that?"
26306You would n''t suspect Lady Cromarty or Bisset, would you?"
26306You''ve not a suspicion of any one yourself, Miss Farmond?
26306exclaimed Lady Cromarty,"for that handsome old ring of his?"
26306exclaimed Ned,"what about Sir Reginald''s murder?
33381A service car?
33381A trap?
33381A warning? 33381 After the way she treated us this afternoon?"
33381And Brunner?
33381And have they made no attempt to harm him?
33381And how did you know that Jimmie would be here tonight?
33381And when will that be?
33381And where is that?
33381And who is that?
33381And yet you expect me to find him a job?
33381Any mail for me this afternoon?
33381Anyone here who feels the same way?
33381Anything wrong?
33381Are n''t you Miss Nichols?
33381Are n''t you going to look at the inscription?
33381Are they very expensive?
33381Are you certain?
33381Are you trying to ruin my reputation as a detective?
33381Brunner would n''t let you?
33381But how did Jimmie learn that?
33381But how did you know, Betty?
33381But that does n''t prove necessarily that he''s guilty, does it?
33381But the newspaper publicity?
33381But what if the owner appears?
33381But what of Rap Molberg?
33381But why should he warn you that your life is in danger? 33381 But you do n''t really think he''ll come?"
33381By the way, you have n''t seen anyone prowling about the yard this evening, have you?
33381Ca n''t you arrange to capture the bold, bad men a little ahead of schedule?
33381Ca n''t you let this boy go free? 33381 Can you give me an accurate description of the man, Penny?"
33381Can you prove your story?
33381Can you tell what''s wrong?
33381Could I drive it away?
33381Could n''t I get it today?
33381Could n''t there have been another reason for the failure of the raid?
33381Could n''t you do anything to save his position, Dad?
33381Could you point it out to me?
33381Davis? 33381 Did n''t I close that door when I put the car away?"
33381Did you enjoy the interview?
33381Did you ever hear of a policeman by the name of Jerome Davis?
33381Did you ever see such a horrible picture?
33381Did you get into the building?
33381Did you have your locker fastened securely?
33381Did you hear?
33381Did you notice a scar on his cheek?
33381Did you notice anything peculiar about that boy''s appearance?
33381Did you search the grounds?
33381Did you see an automobile without headlights come this way?
33381Did you see what garage it was from?
33381Do they suspect I''m here?
33381Do you know who he is?
33381Do you suppose he''ll keep his promise and come to see your father?
33381Do you think I''ve made an awful mistake?
33381Do you think he will be convicted?
33381Does n''t he think I''m capable of handling this end?
33381Everything okay, sir?
33381Future reference?
33381Going my way?
33381Has Dad left town yet?
33381Has Mrs. Gallup locked up the place for the summer?
33381Has anything ever been proven against him?
33381Have n''t I seen you in here before?
33381Have n''t you any tires for sale?
33381Have they surrounded the district?
33381Have you another?
33381Have you driven it since?
33381Have you ever met her brother?
33381Have you found any clue as to the whereabouts of Rap Molberg?
33381Have you looked carefully?
33381Have you no clue as to where this so called''master mind''may be?
33381Have you reported to headquarters?
33381He has forced you to continue in crime against your will?
33381How can I with my hands tied?
33381How could you?
33381How did you get here?
33381How did you happen to be parked downtown?
33381How did you know where to come?
33381How did you know?
33381How did you open it?
33381How did your father learn the truth, Betty?
33381How do you like your car by this time?
33381How do you mean?
33381How do you mean?
33381How long has he known?
33381How many?
33381I do n''t suppose that rattle- trap roadster of yours might offer a clue to the mystery?
33381I do n''t suppose you''d have time to go with me now and look at a few models, would you?
33381I know the HGT stands for height and TR for trunk, but what are the other abbreviations?
33381I suppose nothing can save Mr. Davis''position on the force?
33381I wonder if I dare attempt to shadow him?
33381I wonder if it could have been at our house?
33381I wonder where he''s going in such a hurry?
33381I wonder why they''re after the man?
33381If I should let you go will you promise not to get into any more trouble?
33381If everything is honest and above board, why did they use the alley entrance when the other one is far more convenient?
33381If the Molberg outfit did n''t regard him as an enemy then why would they throw a warning note through the window?
33381If you were n''t guilty why did you run?
33381If you will come back in a few days----"Ca n''t you get the address for me now? 33381 If you''re looking for a secret opening, why not come in the daytime when you can see much better?"
33381If you''re on your way home, ca n''t I take you there in my car?
33381Indeed?
33381Is Father badly hurt?
33381Is it going well then?
33381Is it so very important?
33381Is n''t that Betty Davis over there under the beach umbrella?
33381Is n''t that a new method?
33381Is n''t that almost directly across from the Brunner garage?
33381Is the case going badly?
33381Is this Miss Nichols?
33381Is this Rap''s description?
33381Is this yours?
33381It is n''t Father?
33381Jimmie, you were the one who tipped off the gang that it was to be staged?
33381Jimmie?
33381Jimmie?
33381Just how do you mean?
33381Just what did you do for Brunner, Jimmie?
33381Just what is it that upsets that girl so?
33381Lonesome?
33381Looks like they got wind of what was up, does n''t it?
33381May I visit this new office of yours?
33381Must he always trail me around, Dad? 33381 Need water?"
33381Nichols, the detective?
33381No, why?
33381Not Rap Molberg?
33381Now that Rap Molberg escaped the police net, what will be your next move?
33381Now what does he want there?
33381Now what have I done?
33381Oh, Jimmie, how could you do it?
33381Oh, so you''re sick and tired of it, are you?
33381On account of the company he keeps?
33381Penny, what has happened?
33381See anything wrong with the wheel?
33381Shall I look at your oil?
33381Shall I try another road?
33381Shall we call it an evening and finish off with something to eat?
33381Shall we drive over in my car?
33381Shall we go in?
33381Shall we go over and speak to her?
33381So soon?
33381So you are Christopher Nichols''daughter?
33381So you refuse to give me the address?
33381Something?
33381Surely you do n''t think he''d be guilty of helping Rap Molberg?
33381Susan, is n''t that Jerry Barrows?
33381Susan?
33381Tell me, did Jerry Barrows come to interview you this morning?
33381Tell me, how was he injured?
33381That you, Jake?
33381That young protégé of yours?
33381That''s your final decision?
33381The tire theft gang is at work again?
33381Then how did you know me?
33381Then how do you keep in touch with your men?
33381Then there''s nothing we can do?
33381Then why did you ask?
33381Then why were you hiding in my garage?
33381Then you do n''t feel that you can push the search?
33381Then your father knows the truth?
33381Trying to bring the police down on us, were you?
33381Trying to brush up on who''s out and why?
33381Was n''t it a bargain?
33381Was that what you had in mind, Penny?
33381Were many wheels stolen last night?
33381What about this inspiration of yours?
33381What became of your old one, may I ask?
33381What can I do for you, Miss Nichols?
33381What color shall I get?
33381What did you do with them?
33381What did you find?
33381What did you learn about that license number I gave you last night, Dad?
33381What do you think about Jerome Davis, Dad? 33381 What happened?"
33381What happened?
33381What if you did make a slight blunder? 33381 What in the world do you do here?"
33381What is the meaning of this?
33381What is?
33381What kind of car are you going to get?
33381What luck?
33381What made him change his mind?
33381What makes you think so?
33381What news?
33381What shall we do with''em now?
33381What sort of disappearance?
33381What sort of juvenile court record do you have?
33381What sort of work does he do?
33381What time is it?
33381What was it you wanted, Betty?
33381What was that?
33381What''s a generator?
33381What''s he doing there?
33381What''s the matter anyway? 33381 What''s the use?"
33381What''s this? 33381 What''s wrong?"
33381What?
33381Wheel stolen?
33381When was that?
33381Where are they taking us?
33381Where are we going now, Dad?
33381Where are you going to buy your car?
33381Where are you now, Penny?
33381Where is Dad now?
33381Where is his office?
33381Where is my father?
33381Where is this other hideout which is to be raided?
33381Where to now?
33381Where will this thing end?
33381Who could have carried the information?
33381Who is this boy, Penny?
33381Who is this boy, Penny?
33381Why are you doing this?
33381Why did n''t you come to talk with my father as you promised, Jimmie?
33381Why did n''t you wait and explain?
33381Why did you come here tonight, Betty?
33381Why did you want it?
33381Why do n''t you go to a moving picture show?
33381Why do n''t you have your father make the report for us?
33381Why do n''t you take Susan to a picture show?
33381Why not call on her this afternoon?
33381Why should I assist you in thwarting justice?
33381Why were the police searching for the boy?
33381Why, Betty, what brings you here?
33381Will the police make the raid?
33381Wo n''t it be dangerous?
33381Wo n''t you come in for a few minutes?
33381Wonder who it''s from?
33381Would I? 33381 Would you really work if you had a position?"
33381Yes, how did you know?
33381Yes, is n''t it? 33381 Yes, what do I owe?"
33381Yes, why?
33381You did n''t like that man very well, did you?
33381You do n''t think that man was trying to steal a wheel?
33381You have n''t been in a collision?
33381You have n''t told my father?
33381You mean for fear of antagonizing your superiors?
33381You mean he''s had me shadowed?
33381You mean they mingle with underworld characters and try to gain their confidence?
33381You say you''ve seen the tire thieves at work?
33381You were sent here to take me to my father?
33381You''ll be at your office all morning, wo n''t you, Dad?
33381You''ll testify against Brunner and Molberg?
33381You''re certain no hint of the raid has leaked out?
33381You''re certain that was what he said?
33381You''re not related to Christopher Nichols?
33381Your guarantee means nothing?
33381Your name and address?
33381Your new office?
333811.67.6 1.74.0 88.1 19.0 14- 5 HGT OA TR HL HW"Can you decipher it?"
33381A new case?"
33381And the Hamilton building?"
33381Are n''t you taking a rather sudden interest in my work, Penny?"
33381Are you afraid to have your superiors know what you are about?"
33381Are you hurt?"
33381Badly?"
33381Brunner?"
33381Brunner?"
33381Brunner?"
33381But I was wondering-- do you think Mr. Nichols might be induced to intercede in behalf of my father?"
33381But seriously, ca n''t you discharge him?"
33381CHAPTER VII An Awkward Situation"Now just what did she mean by that remark?"
33381Ca n''t I help you?"
33381Can you come at once?"
33381Could it be that Brunner was involved in the auto accessory thefts?
33381Dad''s home, I suppose?"
33381Did n''t Mrs. Gallup explain?"
33381Did n''t that strike you as queer?"
33381Did n''t that warning give you the creeps?"
33381Did she get through to the police, do you think?"
33381Did you observe anything more?"
33381Did you young ladies wish to see me about another matter?"
33381Do n''t you think so, Dad?"
33381Do you sit here at the window and watch for the auto thieves?"
33381Do you think he could know anything concerning the Molberg gang?"
33381Does n''t it strike you as odd that Jerry would be working for him?"
33381Gallup?"
33381Had some of Rap Molberg''s men followed the taxi?
33381Had they noted her call at the Davis home or the visit she and Susan had paid to the Hamilton building?
33381Has the engine balked already?"
33381How will you like that?"
33381I ca n''t see how the news leaked out unless--""Unless what?"
33381I pleaded with him to give up his career of crime--""And why were you found in the company of Rap Molberg?"
33381I wonder if Jerry Barrows actually does work for him?"
33381In fact I''ve been worried for fear----""For fear of what?"
33381Is it your opinion that he is honest?"
33381Is n''t your car covered by insurance, Susan?"
33381It''s not Jerry Barrows is it?"
33381Listen, is n''t that the phone now?"
33381Oh, Miss Nichols, do you think they''ll keep Jimmie in jail?"
33381Otherwise why would he have left so hurriedly when we came up?
33381Penny turned to the girl and questioned kindly:"Have n''t I seen you somewhere?
33381Penny, you''re certain you never dropped a word of this?"
33381Please, wo n''t you let me go free?"
33381She hesitated, then said hurriedly:"I do n''t suppose you''d care to take luncheon with me?"
33381The coffee does taste all right, does n''t it?"
33381Was it imagination or had it opened a tiny crack?
33381What coup were the two men planning for that evening?
33381What do you think they will do when Father defies them?"
33381What made him act like that?"
33381Where did you buy the tire?"
33381Which hospital?"
33381Why should she be so troubled because her father was writing out a routine report of a theft?
33381Why then, should a man in Brunner''s position stoop to have dealings with such a person unless he too were guilty?
33381Why?"
33381Will you mind going to court?"
33381Would you care to go by yourself?"
33381Would you care to see his photograph?"
33381You really want to hear the interview?"
33381You say the door is operated by means of a photo- electric cell?"
33381You''re sure you never mentioned the raid to your friend Susan?"
330''Will you-- won''t you-- will you-- won''t you-- will you join the dance?''
330A case of yours for health, eh?
330After all,he said,"what''s blue blood to good red blood?"
330Ah, yes, I recall-- I was with-- the lady was red- haired, is it not? 330 Am I or am I not to give Mr. Moody a needle shower?"
330Am I?
330An-- er-- earnest youth? 330 And all the princes of the blood sending presents, and the king not favoring it very much--""What are you talking about?"
330And as to our staying here, do n''t you realize that if we do n''t your precious brother will never show up here at all, or stay if he does come? 330 And if I refuse?"
330And suppose I refuse?
330And that is all you will say?
330And when you''ve got your breath back, Minnie,he said feebly,"and your strength, would you mind taking the floor mop and hitting me a few cracks?
330And why did the house doctor go?
330Are n''t they on sale?
330Are n''t you getting what you''ve always had?
330Are there? 330 Are you Miss Waters?"
330Are you going to return my letters?
330Are you still preaching?
330As tired of what?
330Awful thought, is n''t it?
330Bishop,she said suddenly,"will you do something for me?"
330But do n''t you see?
330But, of course, the papers will get it, and just now, with columns every day about Miss Patty''s clothes--"Her what?
330But-- am I a trouble?
330But-- are you in love with him, Pat?
330But-- but what would she want with the letters?
330Ca n''t I go out to my own spring- house without having a posse after me to bring me back?
330Could you see him?
330Curious old world, is n''t it?
330Did anybody remember to bring salt and pepper?
330Did n''t I follow the dratted dog? 330 Did n''t he say the swelling was all gone?"
330Do I dislike you?
330Do n''t you think I know my own, with L. C. in white cotton on the band, and my own darning in the knee where I slipped on the ice? 330 Do they-- is it a match?"
330Do what?
330Do what?
330Do you deny that?
330Do you expect me to pick up those cards?
330Do you know that I am down on the blackboard for the military walk to- day? 330 Do you know that Miss Cobb has found out in some way or other who Mr. von Inwald is?
330Do you know what they are saying here?
330Do you know what you have done to me? 330 Do you mean Dorothy?"
330Do you mean,said Miss Patty''s clear voice,"that you have dared to lock Mr. Pier-- Mr. Carter in his room?"
330Do you think so?
330Do you want me to protest that the man who has asked me to marry him cares about me?
330Do you want the whole story in the papers? 330 Does anybody know yet?"
330Does that mean,he inquired mildly,"that-- guests must either obey this new order of things or go away?"
330Does the old man''s ghost come back to dope the spring, or do you do it?
330EXACTLY what was he doing when you last laid eyes on him?
330Father, Bishop, will you stand for this? 330 Get what?"
330Get who?
330Good old pal, when you see me going around as if all the devils of hell were tormenting me, just come up and say that to me, will you?
330Hardly sheer enough to pull through a finger ring, are they?
330Has n''t he been out three times to- day, tapping his little CACHE? 330 Have n''t you any apology to make, sir?"
330Have you no shame?
330He was on the train--"Was he alone?
330He?
330Hello,she cried, looking at my hair,"are you selling tobacco here or are you the cigar- lighter?"
330How can I ever tell your father?
330How can my sister and her-- her wretch of a husband have come last night at midnight when I saw Mr. Carter myself not later than ten o''clock?
330How can you care?
330How can you deny it?
330How could I forget? 330 How dare you turn us out?"
330How did you get up the hill?
330How do you reckon he makes his mustache point up like that?
330How many of''em?
330How was I to know it was n''t Ju-- Miss Summers''room?
330How''s the air?
330How''s this?
330How-- how does Mr. Carter get along?
330I know we all impose on you, Minnie, but-- will you take it for me? 330 I say, Minnie--""Yes?"
330I say,he asked in an undertone,"the stork does n''t light around here, does he?"
330I suppose I ca n''t do anything more than register a protest against it?
330I suppose they''re happier now they have a doctor?
330I wrote to Pat,--why does n''t Pat tell him? 330 I''m not keen on the mustache,"she said,"but the sword''s beautiful-- and, oh, Minnie, is n''t he aristocratic?
330I''m not objecting to Mr. Dick coming here, am I? 330 I''m so glad to see you again-- Pat, you''ll tell father, wo n''t you?
330If I give you the double percentage, will you stay?
330If they''ll stand for the bar being closed, why not the candles?
330If you and Minnie want to preach, why do n''t you preach at each other? 330 If you expect me to suggest that you both go to the house, and your wife can hide in your rooms--""Why not?"
330Is he handsome?
330Is it not better? 330 Is n''t it money, or liberty, or-- or a title, usually?"
330Is n''t it?
330Is n''t there some place near where he could stay, and telephone you now and then?
330Is that all you have to say?
330It HAS been quiet, has n''t it?
330Jove, Minnie,he said,"why do women of your spirit always champion the losing side?
330Just because a lot of damn fools see a dog in a fit and have one, too, is that any reason for your being scared wall- eyed and knock- kneed?
330Just come, have n''t you?
330Just give it a twist or two, Minnie, wo n''t you?
330Just what do you mean by hitting my dog?
330Just what is the record here?
330Listen, Minnie,he answered,"is Ju-- is Miss Summers still confined to her room?"
330Look here, Miss-- Miss Patricia,Mr. Dick said,"why ca n''t we stay here, where we are?
330Look here,Miss Julia said, still in a good humor,"do n''t you suppose I''ve got letters of my own, without bothering with another woman''s?"
330Looks pretty good?
330Making a slide?
330May I come in?
330May I speak to you, Minnie?
330Minnie, in heaven''s name, what am I going to do if SHE stays?
330Minnie, you love Miss Jennings almost like a daughter, do n''t you?
330Miss Patty''s handkerchief?
330Miss-- Miss Jennings and the von Inwald were here just now, were n''t they? 330 My dear girl,"he answered, putting down his glass,"what has been pounded into me ever since I struck the place?
330Nobody has left-- and why? 330 None of it?"
330Now,she went on,"suppose I break that rule and get my own glass?
330Of course, you''re the best judge of your own knees, but after last night-- Had any lunch?
330Of course,said Mr. Dick,"I expect to retain control, you understand that, I suppose, Pierce?
330On nothing a year?
330Only-- won''t she know your name is not Carter?
330Oskar not behaving?
330Our what?
330Perhaps,Miss Cobb replied in triumph,"perhaps you will say that you do n''t know anything of my-- of my black woolen protectors?"
330Put me under restraint?
330Shall I do it, or will you?
330Sit on the cot, wo n''t you?
330Sitting?
330Sleeping?
330Sure?
330Sweet-- what?
330That''s awfully bad, is n''t it? 330 The pharmacy?"
330Then she''s seen Pierce,he said,"and he''s told her the whole story and by to- morrow--""What?"
330Then what do you call this?
330Then why in creation do n''t they get out of the baths until we can shut off the steam?
330Then-- to- night, not later than eight o''clock, get father to play cribbage, will you? 330 There is n''t a new rule about speaking, is there?"
330There is n''t anything wrong, Miss Patty, is there?
330There''s probably some nice chap in the village, eh?
330They?
330Tillie,I said,"can you trust me?"
330To- night-- I''m just tired and cranky,I said,"so-- is Miss Summers settled yet?"
330To- night-- what?
330Under what circumstances?
330Unreasonable?
330Well, can I trust you? 330 Well, how goes it to- day with the father?"
330Well, why do n''t you get one?
330Well,I asked,"did you change my basket into a dead rabbit?"
330Well,I said,"did you get it?"
330Well,she said finally,"are n''t you ashamed of yourself?"
330Well,she said, in a choked voice, with her back to me,"what of it?
330Well?
330Well?
330Well?
330Well?
330Were you calling, honey?
330Wha-- what are you talking about?
330What about Mr. von Inwald?
330What about the doctor?
330What about your wages?
330What are they?
330What are you doing?
330What basket?
330What can we say to your father?
330What can you do with people like that?
330What did I ever do without you?
330What did he look like?
330What did you tell her?
330What do you think of American women, Mr. von Inwald?
330What do you think of that?
330What has Mr. Dick been up to now?
330What has that to do with it?
330What have you decided to do with me?
330What have you done that they put you here?
330What is it? 330 What is it?"
330What is it?
330What shall I do? 330 What sort of a night am I going to have after chewing my food to rag- time, with my jaws doing a skirt- dance?
330What the deuce kept you so late this morning?
330What was that noise?
330What would you have had me do?
330What''ll it do to me?
330What''s love got to do with it?
330What''s this about Mr. Dick not being here?
330What''s wrong with you, Pat?
330What-- how do you like him?
330What?
330What?
330When did you fix it?
330When was that?
330When you self- contained women go to pieces,he said,"you pretty near smash, do n''t you?
330When?
330Where are they now?
330Where are you going?
330Where is he, anyhow?
330Where is the-- where is von Inwald?
330Where the deuce is that corkscrew? 330 Where''ll I go?"
330Where''s Mr. Pier-- where''s Carter?
330Where''s that gray rabbits''fur, or whatever it is?
330Where''s the Summers woman?
330Where?
330Where?
330Who IS it?
330Who saw Mike last?
330Who''d have thought wha-- what?
330Who''s running the place, anyhow? 330 Who''s sick?"
330Why do it at all?
330Why do n''t you keep her out of the way?
330Why in the name of peace did you jump out the window, and what did you want with-- with these things?
330Why in the world would you do that?
330Why is it that a lighted window in a snow- storm always makes a fellow homesick?
330Why not?
330Why not?
330Why not?
330Why should I? 330 Why should he kiss her?
330Why should n''t he have a supper?
330Why the one more day?
330Why wo n''t you talk about it?
330Why, Minnie, is that you?
330Why? 330 Why?"
330Will that open the case?
330Will you sit down and try to tell me just what you mean?
330With people in the bath?
330Would n''t you?
330Would you know the girl well enough to trace her?
330You are everything that is best in the world, and I-- what can I offer you? 330 You have n''t had it yet, have you?"
330You have n''t taken the dinner out to the shelter- house yet, have you?
330You saved us, Minnie,he said,"and I need n''t tell you we''re grateful; but do you know what I think?"
330You''re expecting him on the evening train, are n''t you?
330You''re not going to give up now?
330You''re the sister, are n''t you?
330You--he said"you are all right?
330Your letters?
330Yours?
330A bomb?"
330About five o''clock Mr. Thoburn stopped in long enough to say:"What''s this I hear about Carter making an ass of himself to- day?"
330And did n''t he go out there and have old Johnstone marry him to somebody else?
330And do n''t you also realize that this is probably the only chance he''ll ever have in the world to become financially independent of us?"
330And what?"
330And who could have imagined that Mike the bath man would do as he did?
330And would n''t you have thought the wretched beast would have known me instead of sitting on its tail under the bed and yelling for mother?
330And you-- will go?"
330Are you going to help us?"
330As Mr. von Inwald represented the prince, would n''t he be likely to voice the prince''s opinion of American women?
330But if these people want to be well, why should I encourage them to do the wrong thing?
330But is n''t that what I was to do-- to make them well if I could?"
330But what''s the matter with a captive balloon, and letting fresh- air cranks sleep in a big basket bed-- say, at five hundred feet?
330But, by the way, where''s the spring water?"
330CHAPTER IX DOLLY, HOW COULD YOU?
330Ca n''t we get the police?"
330Ca n''t you try it for a week?"
330Could n''t you have found somebody else, instead of getting, of all things on earth, somebody from the Sweet Peas Company?"
330Did n''t I get my clothes, and were n''t we to have been married by the Reverend Dwight Johnstone, out in Salem, Ohio?
330Did n''t I tell you she is of a suspicious nature?
330Did n''t you and Mr. Pierce both do your best to bring it about?"
330Do n''t you know that the day of the medicine- closet in the bath- room and the department- store patent- remedy counter is over?
330Do n''t you read the newspaper?"
330Do you know anybody, a friend of Miss er-- Jennings, named Dorothy?"
330Do you mean to say,"she added slowly,"that nothing was taken from that room but the-- lingerie and a bundle of letters?"
330Do you see my heavy boots?"
330Do you want to make me look like a fool?"
330Dorothy, do n''t you remember Minnie?"
330Every time somebody laid down a queen, he''d say,"Is the queen still living, or did n''t she die a few years ago?"
330Gone?"
330Good heavens, Dicky, it is n''t Minnie?"
330Have you heard the glad tidings?"
330He''d been a little bit delirious, and his last words were:"Yes, sir; hot, with a pinch of salt, sir?"
330How are we young men to protect ourselves?"
330How do they know he''s anything but what he says he is?
330How do we know, you and I, some such change has not occurred overnight?
330How do you like it by this time?"
330How much of Miss Cobb''s virtue is training and environment, Minnie, not to mention lack of temptation, and how much was born in her?"
330I ask the old friends of the sanatorium, is that water what it used to be?"
330I do n''t know anything about any letters and as far as that goes, do you think I''ve lived here fourteen years to get into the wrong room at night?
330I do n''t think she had seen the other red rose, and what was she to think but that Mr. Pierce had known Miss Jennings somewhere?
330I exclaimed,"should I have kissed it?"
330I say"--he stopped suddenly on his way in--"sulphur water on a begonia-- what would it make?
330I suppose you do n''t have such things as burglars in this neck of the woods?"
330I''d go, but I''m in slippers, and, anyhow, I''d need a lantern, and that would be reckless, would n''t it?"
330I''ve been a hard child to raise, have n''t I?
330I''ve saved the place, have n''t I?
330If Miss Patty''s own father ca n''t prevent it, why should you worry about it?"
330If each of us has a theory, and that theory works out to his satisfaction, then-- why are we all here?"
330If this does n''t go, I-- I--""What?"
330If you two children meant to come, why in creation did n''t you come in time?"
330In Europe we do things better; we are not-- what is the English?--hag- ridden?"
330In any sort of crisis there are always folks who stand around and wring their hands and say,"What shall we do?"
330Is n''t it awful enough as it is?
330Is n''t that the sleigh?"
330Is thy servant a dog, that he should do this thing?"
330It is n''t a crime for two people to-- er-- love each other, is it?
330It takes me mentally back home, Minnie, to a lovely lady-- may I have a bit of it to keep by me?"
330Jennings?"
330May I sit down?"
330Minnie, WHO was in the pantry?"
330Minnie, how old is this young Carter?"
330Minnie, you can shut it off, ca n''t you?"
330Moody?"
330Mr. Sam was there, but what could he do?
330Pierce?"
330Ready to pat the old ladies on the shoulder and squeeze the young ones''hands?"
330Shall I get the patent folding corkscrew?"
330She''s not so good we ca n''t replace her, and what''s the use of swallowing a camel and then sticking at a housekeeper?"
330Skunk cabbage?"
330Then a college friend of his wrote a rural play called Sweet Peas--"Great title, do n''t you think?"
330They are all right?"
330Too much fast?"
330Well, what could we do?
330What are you going to do about it now?"
330What did you do to the basket tonight?
330What do I say to him?
330What do women know of money?
330What do you think is in the cupboard?"
330What happens to me?
330What has he been doing now?"
330What if there was a row?
330What the deuce, Minnie--""Waving out the window to you?"
330What the devil sort of order did he give you?"
330What time is it?"
330What was the use of rules without people to disobey them?
330What would you say to a shooting- gallery in the basement, under the reading- room?"
330What would you think of pinning this black velvet ribbon around my head?"
330What''s the matter with him?
330What''s the matter?"
330Where are the poisonees now?
330Where is he now?"
330Where''d you get THAT?"
330Where''s the pitcher?"
330Where''s the pop- corner or the corn- popper or whatever you call it?"
330Who''s looking after the patients?"
330Why do n''t you bring out a play with women in low- necked gowns, and champagne suppers, and a scandal or two?
330Why do n''t you wear overshoes?"
330Why in heaven''s name could n''t you have had something slow, like Handel''s Largo, if you''ve got to have music?"
330Why should n''t I have one respectable meal?
330Why should there be such a lot made of it, anyhow?
330Willing to buckle down to work and make the old place go?
330Wo n''t some of them know it is n''t Dick?"
330Wo n''t that do?"
330You do n''t happen to have any corn- silk about, do you, Minnie?"
330You get him, will you, Pierce?"
330You may recall,"she said,"the series of notes, letters, epistles, with which you have been honoring me lately?"
330You''re sure you wo n''t forget?"
330You?"
330Your Highness?
330she said suddenly,"what do you think?
33382A free park seat?
33382A friend of yours?
33382A man did you say?
33382A real good guy, ai n''t you?
33382Amy Coulter? 33382 Amy Coulter?"
33382Amy Coulter?
33382And do I get half of it?
33382And if I do tell you?
33382And just what have you done?
33382And just what is the criminal type? 33382 And was the package this girl carried the approximate size of the stolen painting?"
33382And when was this loss discovered?
33382And yet you feel that his judgment was unbiased?
33382And you have since learned differently?
33382And you want me to send the man some flowers?
33382Anything else?
33382Anything more missing?
33382Anything valuable taken?
33382Are the pearls gone?
33382Are the pearls worth fifteen thousand?
33382Are you Amy Coulter?
33382Are you all right?
33382Are you an artist?
33382Are you house cleaning or did a cyclone strike the place?
33382Are you meaning to imply--?
33382Are you suggesting that I would lie about the matter?
33382Are you sure?
33382Are you the custodian of this building?
33382Are you trying to learn what I''m writing about the jewelry theft?
33382Because otherwise how would the thief have known that Mrs. Dillon intended to take her necklace to the bank today? 33382 But Dad, how does the insurance company figure in the case?
33382But how was the picture smuggled from the museum?
33382But how will we ever trace him unless we notify the police?
33382But if Mrs. Dillon expects to collect the money why should she lie?
33382But many a time a guy has said to me''Who is the best private dick in town?'' 33382 But where can I go?
33382But who would be interested in it and for what reason?
33382But why not? 33382 But why should she wish to resort to such a trick just to collect insurance?"
33382But will it ever clear up?
33382By the way, have you read the morning papers?
33382By the way, what did Dad say last night when you told him about the man we saw hiding behind the garage?
33382Ca n''t I loan you a little?
33382Can anyone here furnish us with the girl''s address?
33382Can you come, Penny?
33382Can you describe the person or persons whom you met in the studio?
33382Can you describe the thief?
33382Can you describe this attendant?
33382Can you identify these men?
33382Can you manage both bags?
33382Can you tell me if a girl named Amy Coulter lives here?
33382Can you tell me if a man by the name of George Hoges gets his mail here?
33382Can you tell me where I can locate a man by the name of Hoges who is employed here?
33382Can you tell us the way to the exhibition room where the Huddleson prize ceramics are being displayed?
33382Could you identify that man?
33382Could you tell me the name of the party----?
33382Dad, that was Max Lynch-- the one they call''Diamond Max,''was n''t it?
33382Dad, you do n''t suppose Hanley Cron considered it his property and dared to take it?
33382Did I see whom?
33382Did Miss Coulter leave a forwarding address?
33382Did n''t you see the boulevard stop?
33382Did you do anything with it?
33382Did you find any leading clues?
33382Did you lose your bag of loot?
33382Did you notice the exact time at which she left?
33382Did you notice the man who rented the floor?
33382Did you tell her my name?
33382Did you tell him that we are just closing the office?
33382Do I understand that you are suggesting this attendant of the Galleries was the one who stole the painting?
33382Do n''t you consider Amy Coulter a good sculptress?
33382Do n''t you think the police will believe my story?
33382Do you have the exact number of the building?
33382Do you intend to do a little private work on the case?
33382Do you know that she has the stolen painting?
33382Do you realize who I am?
33382Do you really intend to take the case for the Reliance people?
33382Do you suppose she forgot our appointment?
33382Do you suppose_ he_ is Hanley Cron, the contest judge?
33382Do you think he''ll try to cause trouble?
33382Do you want to bring the police? 33382 Does anyone know anything about this girl?"
33382Does anyone know of your present address?
33382Does he know much about painting?
33382Does he really?
33382Does n''t he look kind of lonesome and, well-- mysterious?
33382Does n''t it seem silly to think that Amy Coulter could have anything to do with the theft?
33382Friendly, eh?
33382From whom did you buy the picture?
33382Had you told anyone that you were carrying the pearls in the purse?
33382Has it occurred to you that possibly you did not receive the same painting which you purchased? 33382 Has the evening paper come yet?"
33382Have they been captured?
33382Have you any idea what that was, Dad?
33382Have you heard anything new regarding the missing Rembrandt?
33382He is a special friend of yours?
33382He permitted you to take it away?
33382He ran into this studio you say?
33382How about the girl?
33382How am I doing?
33382How can I ever repay you for saving my pearls?
33382How can you tell?
33382How could I when you would n''t give it?
33382How could we ever do that?
33382How did you cut them?
33382How did you get it?
33382How do you like her?
33382How do you mean, Dad?
33382How much did you pay for the picture?
33382How much longer before you''ll be ready to go to lunch, Dad?
33382How much?
33382How much?
33382How much?
33382How?
33382I hope you do not think I would intentionally keep stolen property?
33382I take it then that Amy Coulter is not here?
33382I wonder if it really is a genuine Rembrandt?
33382I wonder if she told the truth?
33382I wonder if this man Hoges really did go away on a vacation?
33382I? 33382 In the event that it is the same, you wish to return it to the museum?"
33382Is Amy Coulter under suspicion?
33382Is Mrs. Dillon in?
33382Is he carrying a gun?
33382Is n''t that Mrs. Dillon''s bag you have in your hand?
33382Is n''t that rather suspicious?
33382Is that so? 33382 Is this Mrs. Dillon''s last purchase?"
33382Is this the one you mean?
33382Is your father here?
33382It was n''t Max Lynch?
33382Last night?
33382Looking for someone?
33382May I ask what you are doing in my apartment?
33382Miss Coulter was nice, was n''t she?
33382Miss Nichols, are you trying to tell me that I am under suspicion?
33382Mrs. Dillon, why do n''t you take lunch with me tomorrow at my studio?
33382Mrs. Dillon,she said after a long silence,"you confidently believe that your painting is the same one which was stolen from the Gage Galleries?"
33382Mrs. Gallup, have you seen a little green paper- covered book anywhere in the house?
33382My dear, are n''t you dancing? 33382 My dear, did n''t your father come with you?"
33382Nichols, the detective?
33382No one saw you go to your locker?
33382Not in?
33382Not the one you suspected of stealing the Rembrandt?
33382Oh, Mr. Cron, did you see him in here?
33382Only that does n''t seem reasonable either, for what could anyone be after here at the house?
33382Or a gentleman?
33382Partners?
33382Possibly, but you''re safe, for Mrs. Dillon never met you, did she?
33382Real sociable, is n''t he?
33382Say, what''s the idea?
33382Say, who are you anyway?
33382Say, who left that window open?
33382Set fire to the building?
33382Shall I tell him to come in?
33382She failed to say that she invited us here to view the painting?
33382She''s not been arrested yet?
33382So you can tip her off I suppose?
33382Sort of cute, is n''t it?
33382Tell me, who overheard this conversation between Mrs. Dillon and Hanley Cron?
33382Tell me, young lady,he commanded admiringly,"how did you know Mrs. Dillon''s pearls were hidden inside that clay figure?"
33382The Black Imp?
33382The Reliance Insurance Company? 33382 The company does n''t think that the robbery was planned surely?"
33382The janitor may have mentioned to that man in gray that I came here yesterday,she reflected,"but why should it make any difference?"
33382The place is called the Red Rose, is n''t it?
33382The police?
33382Theft?
33382Then I''m exonerated?
33382Then are n''t you afraid----?
33382Then how do we get in?
33382Then it is n''t customary to put symbols or initials on the back of a painting?
33382Then she did live here at one time?
33382Then there''s nothing to be done?
33382Then why has n''t it been closed?
33382Then why not remain in hiding for a few days until this trouble blows over?
33382Then you knew you were to copy the Rembrandt?
33382This expert looked at your picture since it was delivered to the house?
33382This same expert to whom you referred?
33382Unfortunately, I do n''t see how it can be arranged-- unless----"What?
33382Useful?
33382Well, has the thief been apprehended?
33382Well, what''s your game this time, Max?
33382Were n''t you the girl who wanted to see George Hoges?
33382What about the Rembrandt?
33382What are you doing here all by yourself?
33382What are you doing here?
33382What are you doing?
33382What are you doing?
33382What are you going to do with this copy of the statue?
33382What became of him?
33382What brought you here this time, Max?
33382What brought you here?
33382What business do you have with us?
33382What did he mean by that last remark? 33382 What did you learn?"
33382What do you intend to do about my fender?
33382What do you make of it, Dad?
33382What do you mean?
33382What do you think of Mrs. Dillon, Dad?
33382What do you think this truck is?
33382What do you want me to do?
33382What do you want, Max? 33382 What happened?"
33382What has she to do with it?
33382What is it?
33382What is the matter?
33382What is the meaning of this outrage?
33382What makes you think so?
33382What painting do you mean?
33382What proof, may I ask?
33382What sort of place did they run?
33382What studio?
33382What time is it now, Sue?
33382What was that? 33382 What was that?"
33382What were you doing in the library?
33382What were you saying?
33382What will you do now that you know it''s a fake?
33382What will you do with that?
33382What''s all the excitement?
33382What''s going on here?
33382What''s that for?
33382What''s the charge against us?
33382What''s the idea of abusing a helpless young girl?
33382What''s the matter?
33382What''s this bag doing here?
33382What''s this momentous decision you''re to hand down?
33382When will you see this agent with whom you dealt?
33382Where are my pictures?
33382Where are you staying now?
33382Where are your bags?
33382Where were you when the bag was snatched?
33382Which dreadful man?
33382Who do you suppose did it?
33382Who is Hanley Cron anyhow?
33382Who is there?
33382Who was the young woman?
33382Who would want that little statue? 33382 Who''s there?"
33382Why did n''t you tell me that before?
33382Why did the thief break in?
33382Why did you do it?
33382Why do n''t you try to sell the Black Imp to some commercial firm?
33382Why do n''t you turn the man over to the police, Dad, for attempted bribery?
33382Why do they call him''Diamond Max''?
33382Why do you keep your studio door locked from the inside?
33382Why do you suppose Hanley Cron did n''t try to make trouble?
33382Why do you think that?
33382Why does n''t he get to the point?
33382Why not come to my studio before going to the bank?
33382Why should anyone want my copy of the Black Imp?
33382Why should we run away, Sue? 33382 Will the winner of the Huddleson prize get that much money?"
33382Will you leave?
33382Will you let me know the address of your new rooming house, Amy?
33382Will you take the case?
33382Wo n''t you come in?
33382Would I? 33382 Yes, but if she has the stolen Rembrandt in her possession, is n''t it our duty to notify the police?"
33382Yes, do n''t you think I should?
33382Yes?
33382You are his daughter?
33382You are unwilling to do so, you mean?
33382You bought the picture through a third party?
33382You brought the money?
33382You did n''t see which direction he went?
33382You did n''t show the package to the guard who is stationed by the door?
33382You do n''t find it marked do you?
33382You do n''t mean in regard to Mrs. Dillon''s lost necklace?
33382You do n''t mind, do you Penny? 33382 You do n''t think the police will try to send me to jail?"
33382You have had a difficult time since then?
33382You mean he''s off duty for the day?
33382You mean the man in the gray topcoat?
33382You say a valuable painting has disappeared from the adjoining room?
33382You say this statue came from Hanley Cron''s studio?
33382You think he may know something about Mrs. Dillon''s necklace?
33382You understand what''s expected? 33382 You will do that?"
33382You''re leaving?
33382You''re not sick, are you?
33382You''re not sick?
33382Your daughter, Nichols?
33382Your father taught you, I suppose?
33382Your loss was covered by insurance?
33382Your young friend''s name is n''t mentioned?
33382After a moment''s silence, she asked bluntly:"Is it Hanley Cron whom you are protecting?"
33382Aloud she said:"Then you will see the dealer again-- the man from whom you purchased the picture?"
33382Are you willing to take a chance?"
33382Been waiting long?"
33382But do n''t you think the design is clever?"
33382But do n''t you want it yourself?"
33382But have you any objection to using a door?
33382But you are quite sure you can depend upon the dealer''s word?"
33382CHAPTER VI A Holdup"Well, what do you think of it, my dear?"
33382CHAPTER XVI Watchful Waiting"What do you want?"
33382Ca n''t you possibly make it?"
33382Could the men be speaking of Amy Coulter?
33382Did she dare open the panel?
33382Did you think you were going to lose it?"
33382Dillon?"
33382Dillon?"
33382Dillon?"
33382Do I have your promise to keep silent?"
33382Do n''t you want to help capture the persons who tricked you?"
33382Do you consider him an authority?"
33382Do you want to try it?"
33382Gallup?"
33382He called from below:"Anyone home?"
33382He looked quickly about and asked abruptly:"What became of that girl who was sitting in the back row?"
33382How about that rent you owe?"
33382How can I get my trunk moved?"
33382How can I thank you?"
33382How can anyone accuse me of such a thing?"
33382How does that strike you?"
33382I do n''t suppose this is that Black Imp you were telling me about?"
33382I do n''t suppose you could show it to us?"
33382I paid----""How much did you pay for it?"
33382I wonder if they''re on the trail of Amy Coulter too?"
33382If I can smuggle you into the library, will you look at it?"
33382It seemed likely that the young sculptress was aware of the situation, for otherwise why would she disappear without leaving a forwarding address?
33382It will be soon, do n''t you think?"
33382Know him?"
33382Mrs. Dillon, fearful of arrest, had agreed to communicate with the museum authorities, but would she keep her promise?
33382Oh, Dad, ca n''t I warn Amy?"
33382Perhaps you noticed that the man wore a number of diamonds?"
33382Shall I tell him you can not see him this afternoon?"
33382She questioned defiantly:"What about it?"
33382Surely you do n''t mean from the Gage Galleries?"
33382The detective frowned and then asked:"Would you say the man is an underworld character?"
33382The necklace is insured?"
33382The rogue who had sold the fake painting to the gullible woman?
33382Then what happened?"
33382Was it not likely that he had proposed the meeting solely as a means of providing an opportunity for the robbery?
33382Was it possible that the Coulter girl had been mistaken in the quality of the painting?
33382Was n''t that fortunate?"
33382Was the man the agent Mrs. Dillon had mentioned?
33382Were the pearls actually insured?"
33382Were they genuine?"
33382What are you trying to do?"
33382What has she done now?"
33382What have they to do with it?"
33382What reason would she have for telling you a deliberate falsehood about the insurance?"
33382What secret did it guard?
33382What''s on your mind now, Penny?"
33382What''s on your mind?"
33382Where are the pearls?"
33382Why ca n''t the police leave her alone?"
33382Why had Amy made an appointment with him in the park?
33382Why not split everything four ways and no hard feelings?"
33382Why should Amy and the ex- museum worker have business together?
33382Why was it so valuable?
33382Would you care to wait?"
33382Would you like it?"
33382Would you like to have the case, Penny?"
33382You''ll give him my apology?"
33382You''ll keep quiet if anyone asks you how you make your money?"
21617''Are you going to say any more such cruel things to me?'' 21617 ''Is that rain?''
21617''Now,''said he,''you look well, but how about the time when you will have to take the gossamer off? 21617 A WOMAN?"
21617A detective?
21617A hand- bag?
21617A woman''s hand?
21617Ah, and is this the witness?
21617Ah, then you will no doubt be willing to give us your evidence again?
21617All were in perfect order?
21617Alone?
21617Alone?
21617Also new?
21617Am I not pretty,she had said,"when I am in distress and looking up in this way?"
21617And Franklin proceed on his way undisturbed?
21617And Howard heard it?
21617And Mr. Van Burnam?
21617And a veil?
21617And any hat under that veil?
21617And are you ready to accept the consequences?
21617And asked to be let in?
21617And did he come in a carriage?
21617And did it? 21617 And did not they-- my father and brother, I mean-- recognize her?"
21617And did she leave that day?
21617And did you change your mind at the second?
21617And did you fear to mar the effect of this meeting if you accompanied her?
21617And do n''t you know where she went? 21617 And for this reason you let her fit herself out with clothes down to her very undergarments?"
21617And from this you concluded she was not your wife?
21617And happy? 21617 And has remained for the most part in her own apartment?"
21617And he?
21617And his height?
21617And how come you to be cleaning the house?
21617And how do you hope to gain compensation by this delay?
21617And how long was it before they called you?
21617And how was she dressed?
21617And it was Franklin who connived at your change of clothing there, and advised or allowed you to dress yourself in a new suit from Altman''s?
21617And may I ask for what purpose you used this disguise, and allowed your wife to sign a wrong name?
21617And may I ask if you have been so good as to bring it with you?
21617And now what have you to tell me?
21617And now, how did you account to yourself for the parcel and the change of hat?
21617And now, when may we expect to hear from you again?
21617And she came to the basement door?
21617And so you did not seek her in the morning?
21617And so you were not in the window?
21617And that is all you have to tell us about them?
21617And that is all?
21617And that she speaks the truth when she declares that she is the only person who can point out the criminal?
21617And that they are an invaluable clue to the murderer of Mrs. Van Burnam?
21617And the chambermaid who attended to their rooms?
21617And the gentleman?
21617And the hair?
21617And the man? 21617 And this is all you can tell us about this singular couple?
21617And this is the woman, I suppose?
21617And this time you did not go in?
21617And this was at four on the morning of the eighteenth?
21617And threw the sweepings away, of course?
21617And was that the first day of your work there?
21617And what did he reply to that?
21617And what did she have?
21617And what did she reply?
21617And what did you see? 21617 And what if I do talk about it?
21617And what makes you think she is hiding anything from us?
21617And when did you return?
21617And where did you go?
21617And where is that bag now?
21617And where was that, may I ask?
21617And where were they on the seventeenth of this month? 21617 And where were you during those hours?"
21617And why did she come to the basement door-- a lady dressed like that?
21617And why, Miss Butterworth, why? 21617 And why,"asked the Coroner,"did you mention it to this young man in preference to others?"
21617And will remain so two weeks?
21617And with this man?
21617And you are ready to swear these were not the hands of your wife?
21617And you did n''t see her again?
21617And you did not notice him?
21617And you did not stop?
21617And you did this?
21617And you do not know what became of them?
21617And you gave him the keys without question?
21617And you let him see that you thought so?
21617And you saw none?
21617And you sometimes meet there, even while residing in different localities?
21617And you succeeded in this?
21617And you will search her while she is unconscious?
21617And your scheme for doing this?
21617And your wife had a scar?
21617Any one else?
21617Are there any marks on them?
21617Are there any reasons why I should not retain you in my house, Miss Oliver?
21617Are there pins in the cushion?
21617Are these gentlemen here?
21617Are they going to close the door?
21617Are they the same?
21617Are they with you still?
21617Are we there already?
21617Are you a police- officer?
21617Are you going to keep to that story?
21617Are you happy here?
21617Are you the woman who called from the window?
21617As she was your guest, you probably accompanied her to the door?
21617As small as a lady''s hat, say?
21617At midnight?
21617At what time did she come here, and how long did she stay? 21617 At what time was this, can you say?"
21617Before she was removed from the house or after it?
21617Before you had heard of the murder?
21617Better than you know her hands?
21617But are you sure she wore any? 21617 But did you never have one of La Mole''s hats?"
21617But do you feel the same?
21617But do you wish to go alone? 21617 But it was within an hour after leaving the house?"
21617But what have you done with Isabella and Caroline? 21617 But what of those things under which she lay crushed?"
21617But where are the girls? 21617 But where are the rings?
21617But where is her hat? 21617 But where?"
21617But why were you so anxious to dispose of these articles? 21617 But you did linger there a moment?"
21617But you had left pins in it?
21617But you kept your eye on the door, of course?
21617But you noticed that the house was dark?
21617But you saw her well; you would know her again?
21617But you saw him later?
21617But you were more fortunate when they got out? 21617 But you will before the day is out?"
21617But you would not know them on sight?
21617But your father was not in New York?
21617Ca n''t you remember how they were dressed?
21617Can it be that I forgot to tell you? 21617 Can not you see?
21617Can you describe them-- tell us how they looked?
21617Can you recall the circumstances of their delivery?
21617Carrying the bag of which you have spoken?
21617Could she not have carried one under her cape?
21617Dead, Olive Randolph? 21617 Did I do wrong, ma''am?
21617Did I say persons? 21617 Did either of them take a trunk?"
21617Did either of you sleep in that room last night?
21617Did either of you two make that?
21617Did he bring back the amount of the bill?
21617Did he return the keys you lent him?
21617Did he say why he wanted to go into the house?
21617Did he see the scar?
21617Did n''t you go up when you went away?
21617Did n''t you see his face?
21617Did n''t you think it queer to be paid before you reached your destination?
21617Did she always wear them?
21617Did she bring her hand- bag to your house?
21617Did she have gloves on?
21617Did she not kill herself in a moment of terror and discouragement? 21617 Did they bring any baggage with them?"
21617Did they take any away?
21617Did you call the attention of any one to this mark during or after your examination?
21617Did you deliver them in person? 21617 Did you examine the wounds made by the falling shelves and the vases that tumbled with them?"
21617Did you get any idea as to his age?
21617Did you invite him to?
21617Did you know Mrs. Van Burnam well, that you say this?
21617Did you know that the house you stopped at was Mr. Van Burnam''s, and that it was supposed to be empty?
21617Did you know where she was going?
21617Did you know where your wife intended to spend the night?
21617Did you look to see?
21617Did you note her dress?
21617Did you notice Mr. Stone going by on Twenty- first Street?
21617Did you notice her hands? 21617 Did you notice him closely?
21617Did you put those pins there?
21617Did you read-- have you seen this horrible account?
21617Did you recognize it? 21617 Did you see anybody there you know?"
21617Did you see her after she passed your door?
21617Did you see the husband? 21617 Did you sever a lock?
21617Did you sweep the room after their departure?
21617Did you think she might throw herself at his feet there?
21617Did you try to find her the next morning?
21617Did you try to find your wife?
21617Did young Mrs. Van Burnam wear a watch?
21617Did your brother-- I am sorry to press this matter-- ever show that he felt your change of conduct towards him?
21617Do n''t you know, ma''am? 21617 Do n''t you know?"
21617Do n''t you recognize her?
21617Do n''t you see that the house is shut up?
21617Do they-- do they not look alike?
21617Do you keep boarders?
21617Do you know a Mrs. Boppert who lives at 803?
21617Do you know in what direction they went?
21617Do you know these rings?
21617Do you know what that something is?
21617Do you know who this person is?
21617Do you know--she went on, catching me by the dress as I was turning away--"what kind of a man she is going to marry?
21617Do you mean Howard?
21617Do you not think you have made some mistake, Miss Butterworth?
21617Do you recognize it for the one in which she left Haddam?
21617Do you remember the hat? 21617 Do you remember those words?"
21617Do you see any difference between that finger and the one next it?
21617Do you talk when you meet?
21617Do you think you could identify him, Miss Butterworth, if you should see him?
21617Do you want anything here?
21617Do you want one?
21617Do you work for the Van Burnams, and do you know who the lady was who came here last night?
21617Doctor,continued the Coroner, as soon as the murmur had subsided,"did you notice the color of the woman''s hair?"
21617Doctor,he asked,"are you prepared to say how long a time elapsed between the infliction of this fatal wound and those which disfigured her?"
21617Does he not recognize the only woman with whom he dare face God and man at the altar? 21617 Does it interest_ you_?"
21617Does your brother smoke?
21617Dressed in a black and white plaid silk, and wearing a hat covered with flowers?
21617Even after she had been his wife for some months?
21617Fearful?
21617Found something?
21617Gone? 21617 Had he any clothes there?
21617Had she an interest in seeing your father? 21617 Had she not-- that is, your wife-- a complexion similar to that of the dead woman just alluded to?"
21617Had the dead girl any rings on when you saw her?
21617Had the rigor mortis set in?
21617Had they no other similar points of a less general character? 21617 Had you no other?"
21617Had you not better take a look at the scar just mentioned?
21617Had you received notice to do so?
21617Has the jury any further questions to ask the witness?
21617Has there ever been in your hearing any threat made by the senior partner of dissolving this firm as it stands?
21617Has your wife, who was missing yesterday, been heard from yet, Mr. Van Burnam?
21617Have they?
21617Have you any better explanation to give?
21617Have you any further questions for this witness?
21617Have you anywhere about you a pin like those you keep on that cushion?
21617Have you often done work for them?
21617Have you read the horrid papers?
21617Have you seen them since?
21617Have you seen this man before?
21617Have you the keys?
21617Have you this end with you,--the point, I mean, which you found imbedded at the base of the dead woman''s brain?
21617Have you those keys now?
21617He made the threat, however?
21617How about the afternoon?
21617How can they expect him then so soon?
21617How could we do otherwise?
21617How did the young couple you saw get in last night? 21617 How did you know it was five?"
21617How do you know it was so soon?
21617How do you know?
21617How long did she stay?
21617How long have the first mentioned couple been with you?
21617How long have you known the Van Burnam family?
21617How much later?
21617How should I know? 21617 How soon?"
21617How then, my child, did_ you_ come to have them?
21617How, Miss Butterworth?
21617How, sir; what change?
21617How? 21617 How?"
21617I do n''t think much of Madame More,observed Isabella,"and after Paris----""Do you like La Mole better?"
21617I see, I see; but why such an attempt on your part to keep yourself in the background? 21617 I took a great interest in that unhappy young woman-- Was she your sister?"
21617I was wondering if you found everything in order there?
21617I will take them back; but to which of the brothers shall I return them? 21617 I?"
21617I?
21617I?
21617If you do not know either of these gentlemen,he insinuated at last,"how did you come to leave the rings at their office?"
21617If you saw Mrs. Van Burnam so often, you are acquainted with her personal appearance?
21617In his own house? 21617 In his treatment of his wife, or in his attitude towards yourself?"
21617In the parlors, you mean?
21617Is Miss Oliver any better?
21617Is Miss Oliver worse?
21617Is a body still warm at ten minutes after death?
21617Is he the elder one?
21617Is her bag here?
21617Is it a man?
21617Is it a woman?
21617Is it not fearful? 21617 Is it not he you wish to denounce?"
21617Is it of your wife you are speaking?
21617Is it possible,I asked,"that you think it worth while to consult_ me_?
21617Is not that a ring I see now on your little finger?
21617Is not that peremptory, Miss Butterworth? 21617 Is she asleep?"
21617Is she the girl you are looking for?
21617Is that a last spring''s hat?
21617Is the boy here who carried up those articles?
21617Is the family coming home?
21617Is the family coming home?
21617Is there any one in the room back there?
21617Is there any reason why we should not go?
21617Is there any reason--it is the Coroner, of course, who is speaking--"why there should be any falling off in your mutual confidence?
21617Is there any way of getting a carriage?
21617Is there anything in her general outline or in such features as have escaped disfigurement to remind you of Mrs. Howard Van Burnam?
21617Is this it, Mr. Van Burnam?
21617Is this the lady who left the clothes here a few nights ago?
21617Is this the woman you saw enter here last night?
21617It was Franklin who was with you at the Hotel D----?
21617It was a black and white plaid silk, very rich----Why, what did this mean?
21617Killed, and not by the cabinet? 21617 Large enough to hold a dress?"
21617Living here?
21617Madam, I hope I see you satisfied?
21617May I ask,said he,"where the transference of these keys took place?"
21617Meanwhile we must ask how many rings your wife is in the habit of wearing?
21617Miss Butterworth, do you object to sitting up for a few nights till twelve o''clock?
21617Mr. Van Burnam, have you looked well at the woman who was found murdered in your father''s house?
21617Mr. Van Burnam, have you noticed any change in your brother since this threat was uttered?
21617Mr. Van Burnam, how many times have you seen Mrs. Howard Van Burnam?
21617Mr. Van Burnam, of whom does the firm doing business under the name of Van Burnam& Sons consist?
21617Mr. Van Burnam?
21617Mrs. Desberger is a kind woman; what does she want of me?
21617My rival?
21617No others?
21617No? 21617 No?"
21617No?
21617Nor ring the bell?
21617Nor you?
21617Not a tag, nor a hat- pin, nor a bit of memorandum, lying on bureau or table?
21617Now, what does this mean?
21617O must you ask?
21617O, and did she know you were going?
21617O,they cried, for once thinking and speaking alike,"have you found her?"
21617Of course I will stay here; why not? 21617 Of course not, why should you?
21617Of course, of course,assented the detective;"what other spot is vulnerable enough to cause death?"
21617Of course; would you have me keep them for treasures?
21617Of what color?
21617Of what rings do you speak, madam? 21617 Of what were they speaking?"
21617On the left ankle?
21617Only clock? 21617 Only that the hat it covered was smaller?"
21617Or into whose hands they fell?
21617Particularly, madam; so that you can describe it to the jury before you?
21617Really ill?
21617Satisfied?
21617Secret?
21617Shall I put Mr. Gryce on his oath again?
21617Shall I wait outside till you have had yours?
21617Shall we go to Arnold''s?
21617Shall we humor Miss Butterworth?
21617She had the gossamer on still, then?
21617She must have pulled those things over herself, do n''t you think so, ma''am? 21617 She_ has_ stolen, then?"
21617Similar to this?
21617So that she might have worn any dress under that gossamer?
21617So that when she left you she was dressed in a black and white plaid silk, had a large hat covered with flowers on her head, and wore rings?
21617So that you merely went up the stoop and down again at the time Mr. Stone saw you?
21617So that you necessarily passed very near the Van Burnam mansion?
21617So that you would not know him if you saw him again?
21617So that your conclusions are logical deductions from well- known facts?
21617So your disdain of me,I here put in with a triumphant air I could not subdue,"was only simulated?
21617Some lalee clo''washee? 21617 Soon?"
21617Talk?
21617The house in which this dead girl was found?
21617The poor dear''s young, is n''t she?
21617Then Howard must go to his trial?
21617Then it was he you brought here each time?
21617Then may it not have been he?
21617Then she went up- stairs before you left?
21617Then who is,I corrected,"the best person after D''Aubigny?
21617Then why should it not have been he who accompanied you to the Chinaman''s, and afterwards took you in a second hack to the house in Gramercy Park?
21617Then you do not believe in Mr. Van Burnam''s guilt? 21617 Then you saw_ her_ face?"
21617Then you think she did not kill Mrs. Van Burnam herself?
21617To be sure, ma''am; what would she do in the kitchen?
21617To see whether he is the same one I saw last night? 21617 To- morrow, then?"
21617To_ them_? 21617 Upon what,"said he,"do you base these extraordinary assertions?
21617Very well; where did your wife and yourself first meet after your arrival in New York?
21617Was Howard at his wife''s funeral?
21617Was he in the habit of going into it alone and during the family''s absence?
21617Was it a correct account? 21617 Was it a lady''s voice?
21617Was it an unhappy one?
21617Was it as light as Mr. Stone has said?
21617Was it light at that hour? 21617 Was it on the right foot?"
21617Was she dressed the same in going as in coming?
21617Was she light or dark?
21617Was she then on the way to the train?
21617Was that found in my father''s house? 21617 Was that not opposed to your usual principles-- to your way of doing things, I should say?"
21617Was that the only clock you wound?
21617Was that the reason you let her go to New York alone?
21617We are then to consider the testimony given by you this morning as null and void?
21617We did not notice anything wrong, did we, Caroline? 21617 Well, then?"
21617Well,he cried, accosting me with a smile as I entered the parlor where he was seated,"it is all right this time, is it not?
21617Well,said he,"what about the visitor who came to see me last night?"
21617Were her own garments much richer than those she ordered from Altman''s?
21617Were they on her hands when you parted from her in Haddam?
21617What about the pin- cushion?
21617What are you looking at there?
21617What can I do for you?
21617What do you want to know, Miss Butterworth?
21617What do you want?
21617What do you wish?
21617What has happened? 21617 What have you done with them?
21617What is there in that?
21617What is your full name, and where do you live?
21617What is your name?
21617What kind of a dress do you want?
21617What kind of a parcel?
21617What kind of a scar? 21617 What name did you say?"
21617What reason did she give for wanting to stay in the house all night?
21617What reason, ma''am? 21617 What reasons have you to urge in explanation of it?"
21617What time was this?
21617What was the amount, may I ask?
21617When did they leave? 21617 When did you arrive in the city?
21617When did you go?
21617When did you lose the keys which you say you have not now in your possession? 21617 When did you part with your wife?"
21617When did you reach your rooms?
21617When we found it, do you mean? 21617 Where are you going?"
21617Where did you get the key of the house, and by what door did you enter?
21617Where do you live? 21617 Where were you when you missed them?"
21617Which brother?
21617Which of you was the first to go through the rooms upstairs?
21617Which one?
21617Which the deceased also has?
21617Who are you?
21617Who are you?
21617Who are_ you_?
21617Who carried the articles ordered, to the address given?
21617Who''s hurt?
21617Whom have you had with you this summer?
21617Whose is this?
21617Why did they not leave together? 21617 Why did you follow her, then, in less than five hours?"
21617Why do you call it new?
21617Why do you say murdered?
21617Why do you speak to me of my maid in one breath and of a girl in gray in another? 21617 Why does he hesitate?"
21617Why not, if you left your wife within, alive and well?
21617Why should you think I had anything to confide? 21617 Why were you at this house two days ago?"
21617Why, may I ask? 21617 Why, sir?
21617Why? 21617 Why?"
21617Will we?
21617Will you be so good, madam, as to relate over again, what you saw from your window last night? 21617 Will you describe them?"
21617Will you give me_ that_?
21617Will you give us that reason?
21617Will you not sit down?
21617Will you not take a look at her? 21617 Will you not tell?"
21617Will you pull it off?
21617Will you send for one from your office, Coroner Dahl?
21617Will you state on what line of cars you came from your office?
21617Will you tell us what you heard?
21617Will you, then, be good enough to tell us what sort of a dress Mrs. Van Burnam wore when she left your house for the city?
21617Would you know that hat if you saw it?
21617Would you know them if they were shown you?
21617Would you like to look for it?
21617Would you not meet with more satisfaction in denouncing him here and now before he can pass another night in fancied security?
21617Yes, on what day, and at what time of day? 21617 Yes, why not; what have they in common?"
21617Yet he wanted to go in?
21617Yet they shared in your disapprobation?
21617Yet you are not on good terms with your brother; at least you have not had the name of being, for some time?
21617Yet you must have followed very closely behind him?
21617Yet you must have seen that the woman was in the habit of wearing rings, even if they were not on her hands at that moment?
21617Yet you think they know as much as she does about it?
21617You and Mr. Van Burnam are friends, you say, and it was light enough for you to recognize each other; then you probably spoke?
21617You are Miss Butterworth?
21617You are certain of the hour and of the day?
21617You are in doubt, then, concerning him?
21617You are sure she is implicated in this crime?
21617You are, then, the Mr. James Pope, whose wife registered in the books of the Hotel D---- on the seventeenth of this month?
21617You did not go up yourself?
21617You did?
21617You do n''t like it?
21617You do not?
21617You feared to have it known that you were on the stoop of your father''s house for the second time that night?
21617You have read Poe''s story of the filigree basket?
21617You hear what this gentleman calls you?
21617You know the Van Burnams?
21617You know this to be correct, do n''t you, Miss Oliver?
21617You lost the keys; may I ask when and where?
21617You say you watched her as she went down the walk?
21617You tellee me lalee die; how him lalee when lalee die?
21617You then acknowledge the victim to have been your wife?
21617You think she''s sane?
21617You were in your brother''s confidence, then, at that time; knew he was contemplating marriage?
21617Young Mrs. Van Burnam?
21617Young ladies, what do you think of this?
21617[ A]Not with any man?"
21617_ Is_ it your wife''s hat?
21617''Would you''--she was very timid about it--''buy me some things if I gave you the money?''
21617''You must come to my apartments; are you willing?''
21617( Did I say my name was Olive?)
21617A queer couple, sir, that puzzled me some, though I should not have thought of them twice if I had not found next day----""Well?"
21617A young man who had a key----""A_ key_?
21617Afterwards----""Well, afterwards?"
21617Ai nt you going to take those things off of her?
21617Am I to blame for anticipating this with so much happiness?"
21617Am I understood?"
21617And I can not believe now that he killed her, can you, Miss Butterworth?
21617And could he identify the articles sent to fill it?
21617And did she answer back?"
21617And did you notice her hat?"
21617And do you think us called upon to part with all or any of the secrets of our office?
21617And how do you account for that?"
21617And look here, darling, wo n''t you go to the desk and ask for a room?
21617And now is there any other little cherished fact known to the police which you would like to have imparted to you?"
21617And now what other clue was offered me, save the one I have already mentioned as being given by the clock?
21617And now will you come down to supper, Miss Butterworth?"
21617And now, Mr. Callahan, do you notice anything lacking here from the list of articles forwarded by you?"
21617And now, madam, where is that pin?"
21617And so you let her into the house and left her there when you went out of it?
21617And then she had money-- Do you know what her trouble was?"
21617And was that the reason you called in two neighboring physicians to view the body before it was removed from the house?"
21617And we did help you?
21617And what burglar would kill a woman in that way, when he could pound her with his fists?
21617And what came of it?
21617And what do you do for a living?"
21617And what was she doing in this great empty place?"
21617And you are right, but would you have gone yourself, especially as the hall was full of people who did not belong there?
21617And, Isabella, do you feel that you can go through all this without dropping a word concerning me and my interest in this matter?"
21617And, now, how did these persons gain an entrance into the house?"
21617Anything amiss at the Van Burnam mansion?"
21617Anything bad, Miss Butterworth?"
21617Are these the articles you found under your cushions?"
21617Are they hers?"
21617Are you going to a ball, my dear?"
21617Are you going to the club, Franklin?"
21617Are you ready for the undertaking?"
21617Are you ready?"
21617Are you willing to accept my aid on these terms?"
21617Are your relations friendly?
21617As this struck me favorably, I nodded, at which she cocked her head on one side and insinuatingly whispered:"And would you pay for the tea, ma''am?"
21617At all events she went on in another moment as if I had not spoken:"But what became of her pretty dress?
21617But do you suppose she will allow you in her room?"
21617But had I not searched for them in every available place without success?
21617But have you not thought of another way in which he could have obtained it, a perfectly harmless way, involving no one either in deceit or crime?
21617But how can I make my investigations without offence?"
21617But how connect her with the murder?
21617But however did she get into the house?
21617But if this theory is true, how about the shelves that fell at daybreak, and how about her escape from the house without detection?
21617But it was neat enough to have been true, was it not, Inspector?"
21617But perhaps she has lost friends; so many nice girls are thrown upon their own resources by the death of relatives?"
21617But that our good brother Howard ever went in there with her is a lie, is n''t it, Caroline?--a base and malicious lie?"
21617But the rings?
21617But there is nothing in a little thing like that to interest you, is there, Miss Butterworth?"
21617But this can not interest you, Miss Butterworth; have you some_ protà © gà ©_ whom you wished to recommend for the position?"
21617But what could I say to her?
21617But when did she wind the clock?"
21617But where was I in my story?
21617But who can be a correct judge of a detective''s manner, especially one so foxy and imperturbable as this one?
21617But who had identified the scar?
21617But why should a gentleman like him do that?"
21617But why should it have been left lying about in that careless way?
21617But why take them, child?
21617But you are becoming accustomed to surprises, are you not?"
21617But you asked me under what circumstances she came to me?"
21617But,"she entreated, with a passionate grip of my arm, which proclaimed her warm nature,"does n''t it seem a little like taking advantage of her?"
21617By whom then were they returned, if not by Franklin?
21617Can it have been brought here by Franklin?"
21617Can not you find one in their rooms?
21617Can you say that her death was a natural one, and that the falling of the shelves was merely an unhappy accident following it?"
21617Can you say what was the color of her gloves?"
21617Could I encounter him again and live?
21617Could he not see that it would be the height of ill- manners for me to rush out in the face of any one coming in?
21617Could not that fact be explained by the presence of a considerable sum of money in her shoes?
21617Could she have gone for Mrs. Boppert already, or had she slipped into another room to hide the money which had come so unexpectedly into her hands?
21617Could she not bear questioning?
21617Could the supposition of suicide advanced by Howard before the Coroner be entertained for a moment, or that equally improbable suggestion of accident?
21617Could this have been bought before then?"
21617Could you distinguish objects readily?"
21617Could you not have left thus much to my good sense, and not put it into so many words?"
21617Desberger?"
21617Did I shudder?
21617Did he acknowledge it to be a mark he remembered to have seen on his wife?"
21617Did n''t she confide in you at all?"
21617Did n''t she tell you?"
21617Did she ask for me by name?"
21617Did she give you any name, or tell where she was going?"
21617Did she refer to the one I had picked up from the floor and placed on a side- table?
21617Did she think I could n''t see the length of her dining- room table through the crack of the parlor door?
21617Did she think Mrs. Desberger in society?
21617Did she wear a black and white plaid silk and a hat trimmed with various colored ribbons and flowers?"
21617Did they realize at the first glance that I was destined to prove a thorn in the sides of every one connected with this matter, for days to come?
21617Did you hear any one say?"
21617Did you know your sister- in- law, and do you think she could have been beguiled into your father''s house in that way?"
21617Did you lock her in when you left the house?"
21617Did you not notice her manner?"
21617Did you not think it a remarkable coincidence?"
21617Did you notice that her hand was gloved when she came into the house?"
21617Did you notice what time it was when you drove away?"
21617Did you pick them up here?
21617Did you return them to your brother?"
21617Did you see her that time when we were coming out of Clark''s?
21617Did you see her?"
21617Did you see the lady?"
21617Did you wind it?"
21617Do you call this a woman''s writing or a man''s?"
21617Do you hear that, Isabella?
21617Do you object to showing me the best shops?
21617Do you object to such confidences as these?"
21617Do you object, my dear?''
21617Do you show the same spirit towards each other as you did three years ago, say?"
21617Do you suppose Miss Butterworth means the pin- cushion?"
21617Do you think I''d be going around the house winding any others?"
21617Do you think that the-- the person who committed that awful crime went_ up- stairs_?
21617Do you think they will do anything to me if they know it?"
21617Do you think we had better release the head?"
21617Do you understand, Caroline?
21617Do you wish me to go now?"
21617Do you wish me to perjure myself?"
21617Do you wonder I like Franklin Van Burnam?
21617Does he love Miss Althorpe?
21617Does it correspond with yours?"
21617FOOTNOTES:[ Footnote A: Why could he not have said Miss Butterworth?
21617Father, you would not wish her to remain in that spot for another moment, would you, while we have a house we call our own?"
21617Filled with this startling idea, I remarked:"The young lady wore a watch, of course?"
21617First, was the death of this young woman an accident?
21617For Howard never had anything to do with his wife''s death, had he, Miss Butterworth?"
21617For if we ignore the latter part of Howard''s testimony, which was evidently a tissue of lies, what remains against him?
21617For what purpose, then, did they go there?
21617Franklin, I----"Was it a look from Franklin which made him stop?
21617From something she said yesterday I am convinced she is a married woman; and that her husband----""Well, madam?"
21617Gryce?"
21617Had I been indiscreet?
21617Had he this order with him?
21617Had sentiment got the better of me, Amelia Butterworth, and was I no longer capable of looking a thing squarely in the face?
21617Had the avenue anything better to offer?
21617Had they no meals in your house?"
21617Had you any reason to think she was not?"
21617Had your sister- in- law any special admirers among the other sex?"
21617Has any one said that these two women were alike?"
21617Has the person answering it been in this house?"
21617Has your brother done anything to displease you?"
21617Have I enlightened you on a point that has hitherto troubled you?"
21617Have I the name of associating with any persons of the sex who are not ladies?"
21617Have you a paper, Mrs. Desberger, I want to look at the advertisements?''
21617Have you a sample of this hair here to show us?"
21617Have you any better ones to advance now?
21617Have you any objection to comparing the two?"
21617Have you been suited, Miss Althorpe?"
21617Have you found those rings, or have you not?"
21617Have you thought of that, Miss Butterworth?"
21617He had said it was his wife; I had proven to myself that it was the rival; was he right, or was I right, or were neither of us right?
21617He may have expected it; it may have been the very assertion he desired from me, but his manner showed displeasure, and the quick"How?"
21617He was a man-- O what''s that?"
21617How account for your intrusion?"
21617How could the two be made to agree, and which, since agreement was impossible, should be made to give way, the theory or the testimony of the clock?
21617How did I know this?
21617How do you do, ma''am?
21617How long did they remain in your house?"
21617How then?
21617How was the gentleman dressed when you saw him?"
21617I am sorry for young folks when they get into trouble, ai nt you?
21617I at last reiterated in what I meant to be a whisper, but which fell little short of being a cry,"and you took in this girl?"
21617I chose to be independent, and I am, and what more is there to be said about it?
21617I did n''t know it till yesterday-- was it yesterday?
21617I did so, and this is what I heard:"I do not want to live; doctor, I do not want to live; why do you try to make me better?"
21617I do n''t think anything more shocking has ever happened in this city, do you, Miss Butterworth?
21617I saw them, and perhaps you did yourself?"
21617I tried to look indifferent, and doubtless made out pretty well, for he added, after a sly look in my face:"You do not care to stay any longer?"
21617I trust him implicitly, and-- Do I talk too freely?
21617If Ruth Oliver committed this crime, which of these two brothers was involved in it with her?
21617If his wife had only known----"Was there a quiver in the lids I was watching?
21617If it could, then why had not Mr. Gryce produced it?
21617If she did not die from the wounds inflicted by the objects which fell upon her, from what cause did she die?
21617If the rival and not the wife lay before me, then which of the two accompanied him to the scene of tragedy?
21617In the house in Gramercy Park, do you mean?"
21617Instantly she cried:"But you wo n''t say anything about it, will you, ma''am?
21617Is Richard Clapp in the room?"
21617Is Seth Brown here?"
21617Is it so?"
21617Is not such a theory consistent with his character and with the skill he has displayed from the beginning to the end of this woful affair?"
21617Is not that a carriage I hear stopping?
21617Is not that a good answer, sir?"
21617Is not that plausible, sir?"
21617Is not that the name?
21617Is she any one you know?"
21617Is she at home?"
21617Is that too simple a method for disposing of certain encumbering bundles, to be believed, sir?"
21617Is that true?"
21617Is there any reason for my thinking as I do?
21617Is there anything in the dead to be afraid of?
21617Is this the lady?"
21617It can be done, can it not, Miss Butterworth?
21617It cost twenty dollars, if not thirty, and if for any reason its owner decided not to take it with her, why did n''t she pack it away properly?
21617It looks like a dressmaker''s box, but why such emotion over a gown?
21617It was made by the thrust of some very slender instrument through----""The heart?"
21617It was the gentleman you name, and no other whom you saw on this stoop at this hour?"
21617Killed, did you say?
21617Lalee want clo?"
21617Left them in the carriage with that hooting mob about them?"
21617Let me ask you, if you found any marks upon this body which might aid in its identification?"
21617Meanwhile, with this theory accepted, what explanation could be given of the very peculiar facts surrounding this woman''s death?
21617Might not Miss Althorpe have accorded him this pleasure out of the pure goodness of her heart?
21617Miss Butterworth, the cabinet is about to be raised; do you feel as if you could endure the sight?"
21617Miss Oliver gone?"
21617My face and figure will not spoil the effect, will they?"
21617No trouble in identifying the gentleman who entered your neighbor''s house last night at a quarter to twelve?"
21617Not even in his complicity, I suppose?"
21617Now she could only do this at the steamer or in----""Why do you not proceed, Mr. Van Burnam?"
21617Now what have we against Franklin?
21617Now why would not my mind subscribe to it?
21617Now, could this bundle be found?
21617Now, did you see her hands?"
21617Now, do you know that he was older?"
21617Now, what do you think of this one?"
21617Of those missing from Mrs. Van Burnam''s hands?"
21617On foot or in a carriage?"
21617On which fingers did your wife wear rings?"
21617Or should I except Mr. Gryce?
21617Or was it after their encounter there?
21617Perhaps you can tell us who she is?"
21617Provoked at her impassibility, I shook her with an angry hand, imperatively demanding:"What are you thinking of?
21617Quite a remarkable means of death, do n''t you think?
21617Rather late for us to find out so important a detail, eh?"
21617Really dead?
21617Sad, is n''t it?"
21617Second, was it a suicide?
21617Second: was it effected by her own hand?
21617Shall I pass them down to the jury?"
21617Shall I set a chair for you, ma''am?"
21617Shall I venture, Miss Althorpe?"
21617Shall not Mr. Van Burnam accompany you?"
21617She can be shadowed?"
21617She gave you some, of course?"
21617She has not been out, I believe?"
21617She is dead, and I have never touched a dead body!_"Could inspiration fail me before such a list?
21617She is not honest, then?
21617She wants to see you; are you willing to visit her?"
21617She was n''t that kind of a woman, was she, Belle?
21617Some blue stuff, is n''t it?"
21617Some common suicide who thought the house empty-- But how did she get in?"
21617Such an imagination I possess, but how can I be sure that you do?"
21617Take Mr. Gryce into my confidence after all?
21617That is, if you were simply engaged in playing, as you say, a game upon your father, and not upon the whole community?"
21617That success has crowned your efforts, and that you have found a guiltier party than the one now in custody?"
21617The Coroner asked him but one question:"Had the lady no parcel when you saw her last?"
21617The police never found out what you had to do with this woman''s death, did they?"
21617The two hats?
21617Then as I came back and sat down by her side, she quietly asked:"What do you think of the Van Burnam murder?"
21617Then he said:"You can name this gentleman, can you not, Miss Oliver, even if he does not choose to recognize_ you_?"
21617Then seeing no astonishment in my face, she added:"Did you know about this, Miss Butterworth?"
21617There was no pin to be seen in the hat when you looked at it?"
21617These are the queries: First: was her death due to accident?
21617Third, was it a murder?
21617Third: was it a murder?
21617This was a shock to me, yet what was there in his presence there to alarm me?
21617To give one''s whole soul to a man and be met by-- I must not talk of it; I must not think of it-- But is he a good man?
21617To meet Mrs. Van Burnam and kill her, that their way might be clearer for flight?
21617To"--he hesitated softly--"to Franklin or to Howard?"
21617WHERE ARE THE RINGS?"
21617WHERE ARE THE RINGS?"
21617Waiting for just a moment till she seemed more composed, he murmured gently:"Not if you must suffer more from your silence than from speaking?
21617Was I going to allow these proud young misses to think I had exerted myself to please them?
21617Was her tone refined and her language good?"
21617Was it before either of them entered Mr. Van Burnam''s house?
21617Was it her words, her touch, or the sound of the clock striking eight in the great tower over our heads, which so totally overwhelmed him?
21617Was it his handwriting we see in your register?"
21617Was it in that condition when sent?"
21617Was it in the morning or late in the afternoon she came?"
21617Was it not evident that the change had been made after death, and by this seemingly sensitive girl''s own hands?
21617Was it the body of any one you know?"
21617Was it the sight of Franklin, then, which really affected her?
21617Was n''t I right, my child?"
21617Was n''t it horrible, ma''am?
21617Was n''t there some little thing out of its usual place?
21617Was not your wife of a slight and graceful build, such as is attributed to the subject of this inquiry?"
21617Was she dressed well, or did her clothes look shabby?"
21617Was she not pretty?
21617Was she not very pretty when in distress and looking up thus?
21617Was she throttled or stabbed with a knife?"
21617Was that hand the hand of her husband?
21617Was there any one here to admit them?"
21617Was there any other wound upon her which you regard as mortal?"
21617Was there any special reason why she should leave you for doing so?"
21617Was this the talk of a frivolous woman caught unawares in the meshes of a fearful crime?
21617We have informed you that we have new and startling evidence against the older brother; should not that be sufficient for you?"
21617Were they in your possession then?"
21617Were they not sufficiently heavy, or did they not strike her in a vital place?"
21617Were you not the woman who entered Mr. Van Burnam''s house at midnight with this man?"
21617Were you with her when she bought it, or did you ever have your attention drawn to it in any particular way?"
21617What I want to know is whether_ you_ have found the rings belonging to Mrs. Van Burnam?"
21617What am I to gather from such levity?
21617What are you thinking of?''
21617What connection is there between this fact and an endeavor on your part to find your wife?"
21617What could have happened to her?
21617What did it mean?
21617What did the poor thing mean?
21617What did the woman want?
21617What do you say, Miss Oliver?"
21617What do you think of that, Inspector?
21617What do you think the ingenious user of such an instrument would do with it?"
21617What do you think?"
21617What does all this mean?"
21617What has made you change your mind?"
21617What is it?
21617What made you think there was any resemblance between them?"
21617What makes you think I know anything about her?
21617What name does she go by?"
21617What night were these people here?"
21617What reason have you for this statement?"
21617What reason have you to think she suffered apprehension after your departure?"
21617What should I know about her habits?"
21617What should she do to escape it?
21617What sort of a confession are you making, Miss Butterworth?"
21617What the---- is she doing here?"
21617What was I to conclude from this?
21617What was I to do?
21617What was I to think?
21617What was coming?
21617What was in those packages, and where did you dispose of them before you entered the second carriage?"
21617What way do you see out of the difficulty?"
21617What way?
21617What were you doing in that house, and whom were you with?"
21617What will you say to her?
21617What would be the verdict of the jury, and could this especial jury be relied upon to give a just verdict?
21617What young girl?
21617When will father and Franklin come back?
21617Where is the man?
21617Where should she go?
21617Where were the rings, and was it impossible for me to find them?
21617Where, then, could they have thrust them?"
21617Where-- where was that hat found?"
21617Whereabouts in Franklin Van Burnam''s desk were these rings found, and how do you know that his brother did not put them there?"
21617Which of the two had perished?
21617Which?
21617Who else can she be?
21617Who was Miss Ferguson?
21617Whom do you mean by them?"
21617Why could I not find the rings?
21617Why did he not proceed?
21617Why do n''t he take those dreadful things off her?"
21617Why do n''t you answer my questions?"
21617Why do you ask, Miss Butterworth?"
21617Why let your wife write your assumed names in the hotel register, for instance, instead of doing it yourself?"
21617Why not?
21617Why should I remember such a thing as that?"
21617Why, then, did I secretly look for excuses to his conduct?
21617Why, what do you know about her?
21617Why?"
21617Will it continue to remain a secret, or shall I see it in the faces of all my fellow- boarders to- morrow?''
21617Will it not all come out in the papers a few hours hence, and have I not earned as much at your hands as the reporters?"
21617Will she be happy?
21617Will you allow me to wake her?"
21617Will you allow me----"Why did he stop?
21617Will you be still kinder, and help me in a new matter which I feel quite incompetent to undertake alone?"
21617Will you come with me, or shall I go home with you?''
21617Will you tell me what it was that gave point to your assertion?"
21617Would not this account for all the phenomena to be observed in connection with this otherwise unexplainable affair?
21617Would you be able to identify him on sight?"
21617Would you like to know my reasons for this extraordinary statement?
21617Would you like to see those advertisements?
21617You can stay till then?"
21617You do n''t think the man you saw was Howard, do you, dear Miss Butterworth?"
21617You have a common office in New York, have you not?"
21617You have learned to write by this time, have you not?''
21617You know with what they are associated?"
21617You mean old woman, do you not?
21617You surely saw one or both of them then?"
21617_ Dear?_ O dear!
21617_ Franklin Van Burnam!_ Was I dreaming?
21617_ She_ had wound the clock in the kitchen for her own uses, and why may not the lady above have wound the one in the parlor for hers?
21617and walked towards Broadway?"
21617and was her apparent indifference at meeting him only an evidence of her self- control?
21617and when did you search for them?"
21617and where did you go?"
21617and"How is papa this morning?"
21617and"What shall we do to save Howard?"
21617before ten o''clock?"
21617do you not see I can not bear it?"
21617exclaimed the Coroner in a suspicious tone, which no doubt voiced the feelings of most people present;"then you think your wife committed suicide?"
21617he remonstrated, with a troubled air;"could you not wait?"
21617in this shut- up house?
21617is it you?
21617or any articles belonging to himself or his wife which he would be likely to wish to carry away?"
29670But,says he,"do n''t you see that if there is danger abroad to- night, it is Masters who runs the risk?"
29670Can you hear?
29670Hev you broke one of them two- dollar bills yit?
29670Wo n''t you come in an''speak to her, Bob?
29670''"In this matter?"
29670''"You''re the nurse?"
29670''A broad black hat with plumes, a red veil, and four- in- hand tie?''
29670''A child, and how?''
29670''A conundrum?''
29670''After me?
29670''Afterward, you say-- did you meet him after you had discovered that you had been swindled?''
29670''An enemy?
29670''And Bob?
29670''And Bob?''
29670''And I saw, I am sure I saw-- whom do you think?''
29670''And Mr. O''Neil-- where is he?''
29670''And he has been ransomed, you say?
29670''And he left you right away?''
29670''And his picture?
29670''And how about that lost young Englishman, Sir Carroll Rae, and missing Gerald Trent?''
29670''And how many more, exclusive of your prisoner?''
29670''And how?''
29670''And is n''t it true?''
29670''And may I ask you about this person, this brunette?
29670''And now-- how-- is he?''
29670''And that letter?
29670''And the address?
29670''And the family?''
29670''And the other,''I asked,''the man who took you to this agent-- the man with the large Sabbath- school class?''
29670''And then?''
29670''And then?''
29670''And this foreigner-- manager as you call him-- did you have a good look at him?''
29670''And to restore it through her?''
29670''And what did he say?''
29670''And what is that?''
29670''And what is your opinion?''
29670''And what next?''
29670''And what''s that?''
29670''And what''s to hinder you thinking so still, eh?''
29670''And when did you discover that you had been swindled?''
29670''And why Midway?''
29670''And why may not this act be repeated, three or four times, say, by the same woman, slightly changed as to dress, as she could have been?
29670''And you expect to find him there?''
29670''And you gave it to her?''
29670''And you piped him home, of course?''
29670''And you think he went from here to the Fair?''
29670''And you?''
29670''And-- Delbras?''
29670''And-- ah-- I must ask thee if it is to his hurt?''
29670''And-- are you under any vow or promise of secrecy?
29670''And-- do you mean to tell me that because of the presence of this brunette first, and then of the man, you gave up the idea?''
29670''And-- he told-- you----?''
29670''And-- may I ask how you answered him?''
29670''Anyone been robbed?''
29670''Are you going now?''
29670''Are you sure she will come here?''
29670''Are you sure, Carl?''
29670''Are you sure?''
29670''Are you sure?''
29670''As how?''
29670''As how?''
29670''At what time was this?''
29670''Because, d''ye remember my tellin''you''bout that feller havin''sech long slim hands?''
29670''Before you find it?''
29670''Big thing, ai n''t it?''
29670''But when I am able?
29670''But why?
29670''But you do n''t think he means business?''
29670''But-- how did they do it?
29670''Can you guess,''she asked eagerly,''how he came to meet those women in that way?
29670''Can you lift your head and drink this?''
29670''Can you not guess?
29670''Can you not imagine a rival overhearing, perhaps, the appointment in the conservatory?
29670''Can you take this matter in hand?''
29670''Conundrum?''
29670''Could you tell me where the bank is located?
29670''Dark eyes and hair?''
29670''Dave,''I replied,''why were n''t you born with just a little bump of what you mistakenly call imagination?
29670''Dave,''I ventured,''may I interrupt?''
29670''Did anyone come out from behind that curtain while you waited, Bill?''
29670''Did he come back?''
29670''Did n''t you feel it?''
29670''Did she ask for your street or number, or both?
29670''Did you know he was here?''
29670''Did you notice his hands?''
29670''Did you notice the man who just spoke with me?''
29670''Did you reply to this?''
29670''Did you tell him you were coming here?''
29670''Disturbed?
29670''Do n''t you think Greenback Bob capable of it?''
29670''Do n''t you think that a simple and sensible arrangement?''
29670''Do you believe it?''
29670''Do you know him?''
29670''Do you know this young man?''
29670''Do you mean Lossing?''
29670''Do you mean to tell us, Cap, that the dandy Frenchman is in it?''
29670''Do you suggest the Woman''s Building?''
29670''Do you think he suspected us?''
29670''Do you think she will approach us?''
29670''Do you wish to?''
29670''Do you?''
29670''Does it-- does it also concern-- him?''
29670''Does she speak Italian?''
29670''Ergo?''
29670''Ever see him before?''
29670''Ever seen him before?''
29670''Fine figure of a woman, eh?''
29670''For duty?
29670''Has the body been identified?''
29670''Has your niece an enemy?''
29670''Have you any advice or instructions to give me?''
29670''He seems to doubt this letter?''
29670''How can I?
29670''How do you do?''
29670''How do you mean?''
29670''How is the fellow, anyhow?''
29670''How many?''
29670''How slowly?''
29670''How was it?''
29670''How''s that?''
29670''How-- how?''
29670''How?
29670''How?''
29670''How?''
29670''How?''
29670''I dare say,''I went on,''you wonder how and why you were treated to that sudden ducking?''
29670''I hope he is not worse, doctor?''
29670''I s''pose you wonder what I''m drivin''at?''
29670''I suppose now we must simply wait until we receive the picture?''
29670''I suppose you have noted that the Woman''s Building has had more than its share of stealing of late?''
29670''I thank thee; and may I ask now does my niece know this?''
29670''I trust the contents of Miss-- of the bag were not of too great value-- not indispensable to her?''
29670''I will go to- morrow; there will hardly be an answer before that time; and-- suppose we should meet?''
29670''I wonder who it can be?''
29670''I''m a very observing person,''I replied amiably;''have n''t you noticed it?''
29670''I, indeed-- how?''
29670''I?''
29670''I?''
29670''If I have not misunderstood,''he said slowly,''you set out this morning for the purpose of restoring to the lady her lost property?''
29670''If that brunette has not given up her pursuit of Miss Jenrys,''he said,''why not try to reach her that way?
29670''If you are willing to let it lie between us two-- at first?''
29670''Is it eleven o''clock?''
29670''Is it possible,''I asked,''that you two have not exchanged names?
29670''Is it possible?
29670''Is she coming soon?''
29670''Is she here still?''
29670''Is that why thee has mourned the loss of the little bag so much, and said so many unkind things about those poor benighted men of Turkey?
29670''It''s not meself that''ll do it; d''ye hear, Masters?
29670''June?
29670''Look here,''I said in a more amiable tone,''have you told this affair, all or any of it, to anyone?''
29670''Lossing, pardon the question, but have you ever known Voisin previous to your meeting in New York?''
29670''Madam, have you among the inmates of your house a Mr. Gerald Trent?''
29670''Masters,''he asked,''what was it that fell when I went into the smoke, like an idiot?''
29670''May I ask from you the details?''
29670''May I speak with you a moment?''
29670''Miss Jenrys?''
29670''Missing?''
29670''No?
29670''Now,''panted Dave, still shaken with merriment,''w- what has he done?''
29670''Now,''she began, having put away her knitting,''I ask thee honestly, sir, does thee think my niece in real danger of any sort?
29670''Of Boston?''
29670''Of course I must not enlighten my aunt?''
29670''Oh, they do?
29670''Oh, you saw me, did you?''
29670''Old man, supposing young Trent to be alive and in duress somewhere, do you imagine that one man, or even two, could keep him day and night?''
29670''Or a young one,''he retorted;''and you think it is proved that the brunette''s a man, do you?''
29670''Orphans?''
29670''Pardon-- was this the lady''s proposition?''
29670''Right you are,''murmured Dave; and then in a louder tone,''Can you trust your people to keep silent?''
29670''Say,''she went on, meeting my eye,''do you know who that was?''
29670''Shall I read it?''
29670''Shall I resume it to- morrow?''
29670''Shot?''
29670''So you told him that my friend and I were upon the S.S.?''
29670''Suppose you wanted to get in with those people, how would you do it?''
29670''Swindled?''
29670''Tell me what must-- what ought I to do?''
29670''That do n''t tell us much, does it, old man?''
29670''That letter-- did it name that man?''
29670''The attendants?''
29670''The matter?
29670''Thee means does she care for him?
29670''Their reasons?
29670''Then I will hold my peace; I will help you, even-- can I?''
29670''Then do you know if she has a friend who is, or may be, a fortune- hunter, one whom you distrust?''
29670''Then how did you account for her being at the entrance gate two days after?''
29670''Then may I wager that I know what she had to say to you?''
29670''Then you do believe that"a man''s a man for a''that?"
29670''Then you do not object?''
29670''Then-- it was not she?''
29670''There-- in the crowd where you stood?''
29670''To wait?''
29670''Toward the Plaza?''
29670''Tricked?''
29670''W-- why, Masters?''
29670''Wal, now, I had n''t thought of that, but now''t you mention it,''twas a good idee; and they would n''t change it to the eatin''-house?''
29670''Wants to send us to watch little boys, look after ladies''kerchiefs, and hunt up lost babies, does he?''
29670''Was it not right?''
29670''Was that all?''
29670''Was that all?''
29670''Well, did you find where they went?''
29670''Well, for instance, Lausch himself told of a young woman who was much taken with the pink topaz display-- you remember?''
29670''Well, now----''''Was she something under five feet?''
29670''Well,''he queried promptly,''have you found out her name?''
29670''Well?''
29670''Whar from, d''ye say?''
29670''What air they?''
29670''What did he say?''
29670''What do you think of it?''
29670''What do you think of this?''
29670''What is it?''
29670''What is the matter with that horse?''
29670''What is your complaint?''
29670''What man?''
29670''What was that?''
29670''What would you give,''I asked slowly,''if I could show you a way out-- a safe and right and happy way?''
29670''What''s up?''
29670''What-- I beg your pardon, Masters, but what the deuce do you know about my education?''
29670''When is she coming?''
29670''When?''
29670''Where are they?''
29670''Where are you going with that man?''
29670''Where is he?''
29670''Who was it?''
29670''Who-- me?
29670''Who?
29670''Why must I look at him?''
29670''Why?''
29670''Why?''
29670''Will it really be a favour to you?''
29670''Will you come down and be introduced to my aunt?''
29670''Will you come to the captain''s office at once, gentlemen?''
29670''Will you let me try your horse?''
29670''Will you take my advice, with a strong reason behind it?''
29670''Will you?''
29670''Would it help you to learn her object?''
29670''Would you''a''knowed me?''
29670''Wronged?''
29670''Yes-- well?''
29670''Yes; but do you swallow this story of the gang?''
29670''Yes?''
29670''Yes?''
29670''Yes?''
29670''You are sure,''he began eagerly,''that the old farmer was not one of them?''
29670''You can vouch for this person?''
29670''You have found Delbras?''
29670''You have had a telegram from Boston?''
29670''You remember how he questioned me about the"missing person?"
29670''You spoke of Miss Jenrys-- why did you think of going to her?''
29670''You think her so dangerous?''
29670''You think, then, that there is a plot-- something serious?''
29670''You were put there on guard-- is it not so?''
29670''You''re sure it''s the same who tried to claim the young woman''s bag?''
29670***** But when the ship''s in port who cares to wait for the furling of the sails?
29670A death- dealing weapon indeed, and I shuddered as I put it down, asking myself meanwhile,''Was it meant for me?''
29670A patient, I suppose?''
29670A.?''
29670After all, why should I expend my breath or wrath upon this guileless guard, who, after all, was doing me a service?
29670Ai n''t that it?''
29670An easy way to bring about insanity, eh?''
29670An''who d''ye s''pose he was?''
29670And June Jenrys?
29670And can we entertain this strange young man by the hour?
29670And even grant you it was your deed, all of it, have n''t you been labouring to get that chap where he could do no more harm?
29670And had I committed a_ faux pas_ in refusing to deliver up the little bag?
29670And has your friend at any time mentioned the hotel where young Trent would stop?
29670And her name-- would that be revealed?
29670And his work was also visible in that attack upon the guard; for who, according to the police records, could handle a''slung- shot''as could Bob?
29670And how do they keep him?''
29670And if so, had I the courage to approach these two and commit myself?
29670And she''s the one who met the lady at the gate, and left her when the man appeared?''
29670And then the question arose: How could we best make use of this new knowledge?
29670And then, after a moment of silence,''How was it done?''
29670Are you in anyone''s way?''
29670Are you willing to help me?''
29670As it is, can not you help me?''
29670Aunt Ann-- with all these guards and half the world looking on?
29670Because I condescend to address you, to oblige an acquaintance, do you fancy I will accept your escort and pocket your insult?
29670Brainerd lay sleeping near me, and I thought of his comment,''A conundrum?''
29670But are they not partly true?
29670But this dark- haired, quick- speaking little person by her side-- was she, after all, a friend?
29670But what does he want of a clue?
29670But when I had unfolded the sheet, I sat so long staring at it that she asked lightly:''Does it contain a scent, after all?''
29670But, June, I am willing to dispense with my panoply of war, and to be a common citizen once more; shall I?''
29670But-- these men-- how do you know----''''About the attack?
29670By the way, did you happen to see any of those parties again after you marched me off so cruelly?''
29670By the way, has he any nearer friends than yourself at hand?''
29670By- and- by, with his eyes devouring her face, he said feebly:''You-- have seen-- Masters?''
29670Can I help you in any way, sir?''
29670Can not thee give me some credential, some voucher for thy good faith, before I say to thee what I wish to say?''
29670Can you not come back-- please?
29670Can you remember?
29670Can you show me anything more fairylike than this fairy city, built, as it has been, in the teeth of time?''
29670Carl, what do you think of this deal?
29670Carl, what use do you intend to make of that black bag?''
29670Come to see the big monkey, like all the rest of us?
29670Could I bear the scrutiny of those clear, straightforward brown eyes in that other presence, which would put me at so sore a disadvantage?
29670Could I tell Miss Jenrys how, failing to think of a better way of finding her, I had read her letters?
29670Could it be possible that the young lady was really alone in this densely populated place?
29670Could you not say that I-- that we were-- that we knew him?''
29670Did I like a hotel?
29670Did I like going about alone?
29670Did I not promise you my help?
29670Did she give you the young lady''s address, the owner''s, or her own?''
29670Did the man make any difficulty after I left you?''
29670Did you hear me call?''
29670Did you know who he was?''
29670Did you see him go far?
29670Do I not read him aright?''
29670Do n''t you see it wo n''t do?"
29670Do n''t you think so?''
29670Do n''t you think so?''
29670Do you agree?''
29670Do you believe in these sensations?
29670Do you know any reason for this?''
29670Do you not know him?''
29670Do you think Miss O''Neil can have secured the money?''
29670Do you think it humiliates me to ask pardon for a wrong I have done?
29670Do you think it possible?''
29670Do you think they will follow you?
29670Do you think this business has disturbed Miss Jenrys?''
29670Do-- do you think it could possibly startle him-- if-- if he should recognise me?''
29670First, are you stopping near the grounds?''
29670First,''checking off on his fingers,''we''re to keep away from Midway-- all but Billy-- so that they may not make another flitting, eh?''
29670Forgive an old woman''s caution, and-- tell me what is thy reason for the interest thee takes in my niece?
29670Get out of this, ca n''t you?''
29670Had I not carte- blanche?
29670Have you a theory that will account for this, Carl?''
29670Have you an enemy?
29670Have you been inspecting its methods, may I ask?''
29670He dropped back weakly, and the fire died out of his face; he was deathly pale, but his white lips framed the word,''Who?''
29670He hesitated slightly, and then asked,''Did you deliver up your find?''
29670He was not slow in making known his business, and he began with the query:''Have you got Delbras?''
29670He was silent for a little time, then:''Will this be of actual use or help to you?''
29670His first question asked, after being told of his mishap, was this:"Was anyone else attacked or injured besides myself that night at the bridge?"
29670Honestly now, am I not right?''
29670Honestly, old man, do n''t you agree with me?''
29670How could I blame you, knowing as I now do how you were deceived?
29670How could I tell that there was not a friend, several friends perhaps, waiting for that troublesome brunette back in the Nebraska Building?
29670How did it happen, Carl?''
29670How did it happen?
29670How did the thing come out at the first attempt?
29670How did they lure him to that bridge-- those two women?''
29670How quickest secure the miscreants, fasten this last, worst crime upon them, and rescue Trent, if he yet lived?
29670How will our work prosper?
29670How?''
29670I added testily; and then I pulled myself together and asked more amiably,''Did you think I was running away with another wallet?''
29670I can give you my card, can I not?''
29670I had meant, of course, to do this; but could I, with those pert, mocking eyes upon me?
29670I let him go without uneasiness, for was not Dave Brainerd lurking somewhere very near, and very much to be relied upon?
29670I took it and read the words:''Have you seen Gerald?
29670I went home that evening pondering the question, Did Monsieur Voisin know me for what I was, and, if so, how?
29670I''m going straight to that Turkish village; and you?''
29670I-- I trust the young lady was not hurt?''
29670If it was true that he knew the owner of the black bag, why not question him-- carelessly, of course?
29670In addition to these, every day brought across the wires, from Hilda O''Neil to her friend, the pitiful little question,''Any news?''
29670In haste''?
29670In other words----''''A detective?''
29670In the first instance both are alone; Miss J. drops her bag; why does this particular-- well, say woman for the present-- why does this woman see it?
29670Is Greenback Bob there?''
29670Is anyone in the front room, lower floor?''
29670Is it possible?
29670Is it thy pleasure, sir, to undertake this for us?''
29670Is that all?''
29670Is that reported correctly, Miss Jenrys?''
29670It was a meeting, was it not?''
29670It was hardly worth so much trouble, do you think?''
29670It was useless to argue, and how could I refuse?
29670It''s the Princess Eulalia''s day, you remember; or had you failed to note that?''
29670Lossing, can you and Murphy hold me on your shoulders while I try that window?
29670Masters, can you do this for me?''
29670Masters, does thee think we would be safer, and wiser, if we went away quickly and quietly?''
29670Masters, is there not some way-- these guards in uniform, or are there not guides who could be employed-- in the evening, that is?''
29670Masters, wo n''t you follow him home?
29670Mebbe ye have, though?''
29670Might they not separate soon?
29670Mind, I do not say the letter was not written by some dissatisfied member of the band, but do n''t you see its weak point?
29670Mine?
29670Miss Jenrys, do you know of any reason why you should be watched-- followed?
29670Mr. Masters, what would you do first if you were to begin at once upon the case?''
29670My friend, you whom we call upon for everything, can you not make straight this crooked place, too?''
29670My head was a nest of queer thoughts and suspicions, but I kept to the subject by asking:''And may I ask how you replied to all this?''
29670Now they had an especial reason for wishing to make this excursion on the next day, and-- would I be at liberty?
29670Now, how long have you been on duty about this place?''
29670Now, is Delbras on the second- floor front?
29670Oh, are we to have a look at the bag?''
29670Or guesses, as she might----''''What you are?''
29670Or had I been mistaken in my judgment of Miss Jenrys?
29670Or-- is this all?''
29670Pardon me, but is it true that you have a friend lost in this wonderful city?''
29670Perhaps you have an idea where their"tents"are now spread?''
29670Query: Does she, by any chance, know-- well, say you?
29670Recalling this speech of Dave''s brought my thoughts back to the old question,''Where was he?''
29670Seems safe enough though, do n''t it?''
29670Shall I tell you what he said to me?''
29670Shall we find it easy?
29670Shall we go?''
29670She cast her eyes all about her, and then beckoned to Smug, standing uneasily in the rear:''Say, ca n''t you show me one single laggoon?''
29670She did not follow up the subject, but after a moment said:''Do-- do you think I might be allowed to see him if I went with auntie to the hospital?
29670She took his hand as if in greeting, and said again, speaking softly and clearly:''Wo n''t you go and speak with my Aunt Charlotte?''
29670She took it and read the name aloud, and in a tone of polite inquiry:''Carl Masters?''
29670She would be sure to revisit the Midway; and what could be more easy than for him to return her lost property, explaining as he chose?
29670Should we wait, and perhaps lose valuable time, while the Trents are on their way?''
29670That he had told me the truth concerning his interview with the brunette I did not doubt, but was it the whole truth?
29670Thee must understand?''
29670Then, as if anxious to get away from a dangerous subject, he asked,''Been here long, stranger?''
29670There is no prouder or more womanly girl living than my niece, June Jenrys; and now tell me frankly, what does thee fear or anticipate for her?''
29670There was no fear on her face, only a slightly troubled look, as she asked:''What do you mean?''
29670They''re here for money, and they wo n''t let any pass them-- see?''
29670This is your beat?''
29670To Mr. Trent I wired at some length, as follows:''Has money package been sent?
29670To come down to facts, now, you and I came here expecting to find Greenback Bob, did n''t we?''
29670Upon what did you found that remark?''
29670Want me to follow him?''
29670Was I mistaken in this little brunette, then?
29670Was I wrong?''
29670Was it a man falling there in the thick of that suffocating smoke?
29670Was it imagination, or did I feel a responsive touch upon the other side?
29670Was n''t it because he wrote it quite as much or more than because you printed it?
29670Was this interview in any way connected with or concerning her?
29670What can you or any man, in time of peace, do more or better than the work of these young men?
29670What could a man ask better if he wants to dodge arrest, or evade surveillance, than such a chance as Midway affords him?
29670What could she mean by this diversion?
29670What did he say about the others-- the tall man with the fez, for instance?
29670What did it mean?
29670What do you mean?''
29670What do you think has set the chief to looking this lost son up here, and through us?''
29670What does thee think?
29670What figure, now, is the dress likely to cut?''
29670What happened, dear?
29670What is she?''
29670What is the capture of a criminal, of many of them, compared to the rescue, the saving, perchance, of an honest man''s life?
29670What life could be more serene?
29670What more''s a furrin infanty than a home- born one, anyhow?''
29670What need to tell it?
29670What say you, Aunt Ann?''
29670What shall we do?''
29670What''s your idea about this robbery?''
29670What''s your next move?''
29670What, in your opinion, is their little game?''
29670When I had put the letter down, after reading the copied portion twice, Miss Jenrys asked breathlessly:''What must be done?''
29670When she paused beside him his hand was outstretched to meet hers; and if the clasp was close and long, what of that?
29670When they stopped to talk on the bridge, I begun to crawl along closte to the bridge, an''then-- you know how it was all comin''so suddin?
29670When we had stemmed the tide of this foreign eloquence, which was not for some time, I asked:''How many know of this?''
29670Where did you see him last?''
29670Where is that music?''
29670Where was the man of authority?
29670While thus sleeping(?)
29670Who can paint the story of that awful fire?
29670Who caused your arrest?''
29670Who is she?
29670Who knows how much fine work he has done among these Turks, Syrians, Algerians, Egyptians, Japs, and so on?''
29670Why not search for the answer in these white billets, and, finding it, take the little black bag to the bureau of the''lost or found''?
29670Why should I read those letters from a stranger, and to a stranger?
29670Why should the sight of this homely, honest rustic bring back these things?
29670Why was it?"
29670Why, Aunt Ann?''
29670Will you advise me?''
29670Will you describe the other man-- the gentleman with the Sabbath- school class?''
29670Will you do a wretched woman a small kindness?"
29670Will you give him your best care and let nothing be lacking?
29670Will you give me the card now, an''please not give me away to the boys?
29670Will you please give me the bag?''
29670Will you sit in that arbour where I first talked to yourself and Miss Ross?
29670Wo n''t you go-- and come back when all is safe?''
29670Would Mr. Smug direct him to this affable agent upon Midway?
29670Yet, how was I to have guessed her intent concerning him?
29670You do n''t want to arrest me again, do you?''
29670You do not advise such extreme precautionary measures, Mr. Masters, surely?''
29670You know how our conservatory is arranged, and that little nook just at the entrance to the library, where the palms are grouped?
29670You know the place, Dave, do you not?
29670You perhaps remember the letter in my bag?''
29670You think that Voisin attacked you because you were about to meet Miss Jenrys, do you not?''
29670You understand?''
29670You-- you are sure he will not know me?''
29670Your friend must have that?''
29670Your pardon; may I trouble you for a light?''
29670and how did you reply to her?''
29670and shall we succeed?''
29670and you were running to stop the car, and Bob, when I saw you at Mount Vernon Station,''I said wickedly;''did you overtake it?''
29670but, June, child, what did you tell me was the name of the young man to whom thy friend Hilda O''Neil is betrothed?''
29670can they?
29670ejaculated Aunt Ann,''thee did not accept?''
29670how?
29670she finished,''I s''pose, come to think, he''s been brought here now to be tried, ai n''t he?''
29670what indeed?''
29670with a short laugh;''and I, you fancy, have travelled much?''
29670you found my bag?''
31535''If this be true,"I asked,"what does Irene ask for?
31535Adrea, are you ill?
31535Adrea, do you not understand? 31535 Adrea, is such a love as I can offer you worth nothing?
31535Adrea? 31535 Am I a prisoner?"
31535Am I not your slave, dearest? 31535 And Adrea?"
31535And by what right did you dare to thrust yourself between us?
31535And he?
31535And now that you are here, are you not afraid of finding it dull?
31535And what will become of Paul de Vaux?
31535And why should he not be awakened? 31535 And why?
31535And you believe that he loves you?
31535And you have no women friends?
31535And you?
31535Are these things to be spoken of thus openly? 31535 Are you going for the Abbey, De Vaux?"
31535Are you jealous, sir?
31535Are you not the German doctor from Palermo?
31535Are you stricken dumb?
31535Arthur is well?
31535At one time you used to tell me all your troubles; do you remember?
31535Because of the words, the story of which my master spoke to him at his death in the monastery?
31535Besides, you married into a noble family, did you not-- a duke''s daughter? 31535 But did you hear nothing?
31535But why?
31535But your vows,--were they not for life?
31535But, Paul, what have you been doing-- writing?
31535Can she make the bay?
31535Choose between what?
31535Dead?
31535Did I? 31535 Did he tell you, then?"
31535Did she tell you that we had already a slight acquaintance?
31535Did you make inquiries there?
31535Did you notice the glinting light on those sails?
31535Did you see him yourself?
31535Did you think that I was an elf from spirit- land?
31535Did you think that I was long?
31535Do I not know it?
31535Do n''t you know me, Gomez?
31535Do you believe it yourself? 31535 Do you know what place that is opposite?"
31535Do you know who Adrea was?
31535Do you mean it?
31535Do you think I yielded easily to the poisoned web you have woven around me? 31535 Do you think that the man whose presence brings storm and wind upon us is like ordinary men?
31535Do you want to see his son driven from his home and robbed of his lands?
31535Do you wish to make me so unhappy, I wonder? 31535 Do you?"
31535Does it make you poorer?
31535Does this young lady wish to see me, Richards?
31535Even if this is so, what has it to do with me?
31535Father, according to the physician''s reckoning, how long have I to live?
31535For two?
31535From whom?
31535Girl, are you mad? 31535 Has he come to see us again?
31535Have I ever deceived you? 31535 Have I no cause to look at you sternly, Adrea?"
31535Have you come to remind me of it?
31535Have you just thought of that, Monsieur Paul?
31535Have you lost your way?
31535He was your father''s servant, was he not?
31535Her name?
31535How came he here?
31535How dare you presume to dictate to me in this fashion?
31535How goes the storm?
31535How is it that you are here? 31535 How long are you staying in town?"
31535How long is it, since you saw Gomez?
31535How?
31535I am sorry I saw it,Paul went on;"but it was there to be seen, was n''t it?"
31535I hope you wo n''t mind my asking, Arthur, but is that an acceptance of your own?
31535I wonder if he knows his danger?
31535If you have anything to say to me, wo n''t you sit down?
31535Ill? 31535 Is any one ill-- dying?"
31535Is he in?
31535Is that kind? 31535 Is there any one else in this room?"
31535Is there no light on the sea yet, Gomez?
31535Is your business urgent?
31535Look here, old man,he said slowly,"you go to see her in London, do n''t you?"
31535May I ask whether it is indeed Miss Adrea Kiros?
31535Nor Madame de Merteuill?
31535Not too many of those bits of paper about, eh?
31535Nothing the matter, is there?
31535Once more let me ask you, Father Adrian, why are you here?
31535Ought you not to go to London, and try what your influence can do with him? 31535 Paul, I wonder whether you will do something for me?"
31535Paul, are you ill?
31535Paul, we have been happy together, have we not?
31535Shall I come again?
31535Shall I go on, Paul de Vaux? 31535 Shall you be at home to- morrow afternoon, Lady May?"
31535She is counting on seeing you, and it''s some time since you were down, is n''t it? 31535 She lives?"
31535So you are dying, Martin,_ mon ami_? 31535 Tell me, Father Adrian, did you know this Count of Cruta?"
31535Tell me, then, do you admire my coiffure?
31535Then who are you?
31535Then you are no monk?
31535Then you did not notice him particularly?
31535There is no necessity for that, is there?
31535Was I very undignified?
31535Was it very wrong of me to come here?
31535Well, will you see her at once and represent matters? 31535 Were you with him all the time, then?"
31535What am I to do now?
31535What are they?
31535What are you doing here, Gomez?
31535What brings you to Vaux Abbey, Father Adrian?
31535What do you fear? 31535 What do you want Gomez?"
31535What do you want with me? 31535 What do you want with me?
31535What do you want?
31535What does he want with you, Paul?
31535What have I to do with you, or you with me?
31535What have you to do with me, or I with you?
31535What have you to do with me? 31535 What hour is it?"
31535What is it?
31535What is it?
31535What is that?
31535What is the matter with the man, I wonder?
31535What is the matter with you?
31535What is the meaning of that signal, Father?
31535What is there for me to fear at Cruta? 31535 What should keep me, Paul?
31535What was it you said? 31535 What would you have at this hour, sister?"
31535Whatever was the matter?
31535When does day break?
31535When is the supply boat due?
31535Where is he?
31535Where to, sir?
31535Who is this young lady?
31535Who should do it?
31535Who told you that? 31535 Who was she?
31535Who was the younger and better looking of those two men; the one with violets in his coat, like yours?
31535Who will prevent me?
31535Why do you go, then, and leave me here alone? 31535 Why have you come here?
31535Why is he here?
31535Why not? 31535 Why should you believe me?
31535Why should you go?
31535Why, Paul, what have you been doing here all night? 31535 Will she need a pilot?"
31535Will you answer me some questions, Adrian?
31535Will you conduct me to him?
31535Will you do it for me simply because I ask you?
31535Will you hear the rest of the story now?
31535Will you kiss me?
31535Will you not tell me something of your trouble?
31535Will you put your question a little more definitely, Lady May?
31535Will you tell me something else, please?
31535You are not upon the stage, then?
31535You are surprised to see me here, of course?
31535You can see who I am, ca n''t you, Paul? 31535 You find the ruins interesting, then?"
31535You have come here to know the truth of the story he told you?
31535You have really been unhappy on my account?
31535You have really thought of me?
31535You know her?
31535You visited her in London?
31535You were at the cottage last evening?
31535Your mother?
31535Your name de Vaux, Paul de Vaux, near Vaux Abbey?
31535Again he felt that pang of conscience; and yet, was she not a little unjust to him?
31535Am I a prayer- book?
31535Am I forgiven?"
31535Am I indeed so low and vile a thing that you should turn away with never a single word of farewell?
31535And now, what do you think of my plan?
31535And to where?
31535And who is to blame for it all?
31535And yet, how is it that you are here?"
31535And you were down at the cottage last night, were n''t you?"
31535Are these her rooms?
31535Are we too old now?"
31535Are you going to London?"
31535Are you ill?"
31535Are you she?"
31535Are you very much shocked?"
31535As I left the kerbstone, the door opened and I heard her question:--"Has Father Adrian called or written, or sent any address yet, please?"
31535But now----""Well?"
31535But was it possible?
31535But when you stand and glare at me_ comme cela_, what do you expect?
31535By the bye, you were to have called last week, were n''t you?
31535By the bye,"she added, pausing in her slow progress over the hall, and looking me once more steadily in the face,"what is your name?"
31535CHAPTER III"THE DANCING GIRL""What do you think of it?"
31535CHAPTER VII"WHO ARE YOU, AND WHAT YOUR MISSION?"
31535CHAPTER X"I AM BUT A SLAVE, AND YET I BID THEE COME""Were there any letters for me this morning, mother?"
31535CHAPTER XVIII"SOFTLY GLIMMERING THROUGH THE LAURELS AT THE QUIET EVENFALL""Do you know who has taken Major Harcourt''s cottage, Mr. de Vaux?"
31535Ca n''t I help you, somehow?"
31535Can I come to- morrow or the next day?"
31535Can I see his son hasten yonder to his doom without one effort to save him?
31535Can you describe him?"
31535Can you not describe the stranger?"
31535Clear and insistent above the emotion which swayed him came ever that uncompromising question-- where lay his duty in this matter?
31535Clergymen and ecclesiastical architects, I suppose?"
31535Could he see Adrea day by day, and never pass the barrier which he himself had set up between them?
31535Could it be Father Adrian returning to the Abbey?
31535DO YOU LIKE MENTAL SURPRISES?
31535Did I not refuse to confess you?
31535Did any one speak those words?
31535Did n''t you say something just now?"
31535Did you arrange for her to come here?"
31535Did you think that I was going mad?
31535Did you think, Paul, that I could have you-- tied for life-- to a poor, hunted woman-- forced to live always in a foreign country?
31535Did you understand, I wonder?
31535Do n''t you think it would be a good thing if you could get him down here?
31535Do you fear that I shall seek to compromise you?--is not that the English word?
31535Do you know that I have thrown up all my engagements until next season?
31535Do you know that it is past mid- day?
31535Do you know who has taken it?"
31535Do you really think that it is true?
31535Do you think that I want you to marry me?
31535Do you think that because I did not seek you out and shoot you as you deserved, that I forgot?
31535Do you wish to hear the rest of your father''s confession?"
31535From whose hands?
31535Got any engagement?
31535Had he had a pleasant journey?
31535Had she character to sustain her, and imagination to idealize her calling?
31535Has anything happened?
31535Has that young person come here at your instigation?
31535Have I deserved it from you?"
31535Have I ever pretended to care for you?
31535Have we anything left to tell, Lady May?"
31535Have you left the monastery at Cruta?"
31535Have you nothing else to say to me?"
31535Heaven or hell, what matters it?
31535How comes it that I find you here to laugh at my_ deshabille_?"
31535How could a little Jesuit priest hurt such a one as she?
31535How could he save Arthur?
31535How could he?
31535How could it be otherwise, when the days themselves have been so grey, so full of shadows and disappointments?
31535How could she?"
31535How did you find me out?
31535How did you know that?"
31535How long have I to live?
31535How much dare I tell?
31535How was I to stop him?
31535How was he to interpret it?
31535I am a silly girl, am I not?
31535I raised my eyes to his, and added in a half whisper:"Wo n''t you come home with me, and read aloud, as we used to on the rocks at Cruta?"
31535I simply want to ask you whether you consider him a proper visitor in this house?"
31535I suppose you have not brought your own man?"
31535If he restrained them, do you imagine he was willing to bear this great dishonour without striking a blow?
31535If my hands are stained with blood-- for whose sake was it?
31535Is it because you dare not, that you-- you do not offer to take my hand, even?
31535Is it possible that you did not know it?"''"
31535Is it that knowledge which gives him this strange power?
31535Is it too great a thing to do, to make light the heart of a dying woman?
31535Is n''t he at home then?"
31535Is that not it?"
31535Is that you?
31535Is there a hell, I wonder?
31535Is there anything saintly in my face, that you should keep your eyes fixed upon it so steadily?"
31535Is there no light on the horizon?"
31535Is this your greeting?"
31535It is n''t five o''clock yet, is it?"
31535Martin, my love-- is it you?"
31535May I have some more tea, mother?"
31535Mr. de Vaux, may I ask you a question?"
31535Notice whom?"
31535Of course, you know nothing about it; how should you?
31535Of what use could money be to him?
31535Oh I why was I sent?"
31535Only how long?"
31535Paul?"
31535Shall I ring for Reynolds?
31535Shall I see morning break?"
31535Shall I send for it?"
31535Shall I tell you all that your father''s dying lips faltered out to me?"
31535Shall you come, Arthur?"
31535She has been kind to you, has she?
31535She''s a- trying it on, ai n''t she?"
31535Should I run to her, or hide away?
31535So she was kind to you, was she?
31535Something that lifts you out of your world of care and business, and transports you to another land, clime, and scenes?
31535Sustained excitement and strange scenes that compel you to read on page after page with unflagging interest?
31535Tell me, who was Madame de Merteuill?"
31535That may be true, but what would you have me to do?
31535The story----""Yes?"
31535There is a-- lady in the case, is n''t there?"
31535Things that make your eyes open wider, and cause you to assume a changed position, so that you can continue your reading without tiring?
31535This, all against what?
31535To whom has he let it?"
31535Was Adrea Kiros seeking vengeance on the son of her father''s murderer?
31535Was I living quite alone, had I no friends, did I think it wise to lay myself open to so much notice?
31535Was he upon the brink of a tremendous revelation?
31535Was it a recall, or a fresh torrent of anger?
31535Was it because they scented an evil deed?
31535Was it my fancy, or did he really recoil a little as he touched me?
31535Was it not fate that had brought Gomez ready to my hand?
31535Was it not the love of a strong, true man, always faithful, always loving?
31535Was it the firelight, he wondered, or was it fancy?
31535Was it too great a boon to grant?
31535Was it too late now?
31535Was that a dead man in the way?
31535Was the whole past about to be made clear?
31535Was there room for her-- and Adrea?
31535Was your father''s murder so light a thing to you that you can join hands with his murderer''s son?
31535What can I do?"
31535What class of people do you have, as a rule?
31535What could I say?
31535What could he gain by it?
31535What could it contain?
31535What could it mean?
31535What did he wish?
31535What did it mean-- that blank look of horror, his quiet withdrawal from the only caress I attempted?
31535What did it mean?
31535What did you tell me once was your life''s ideal?
31535What do you know of it?
31535What do you know of it?"
31535What do you know?"
31535What do you mean?"
31535What do you say?"
31535What do you think of my plan?"
31535What does he want?"
31535What evil is it which he holds suspended over his head?
31535What had she heard?
31535What has Paul to fear from him?
31535What has brought you here-- here into the tiger''s den?
31535What has happened?
31535What is he like?
31535What is it that has happened?
31535What is it?"
31535What is our little knowledge?
31535What is that you struggle against?
31535What is that?"
31535What is the matter with you?"
31535What need was there for hesitation?
31535What of your vows?
31535What place had Lady May in his heart?
31535What right had the earth to rejoice when grief and anxiety were driving me mad?
31535What say you?
31535What was he to think now?
31535What was it Paul said to me?
31535What was right?
31535What was that?
31535What was that?"
31535What was that?"
31535What was the use?
31535What were they?
31535What would he think of my coming?
31535Whence comes his power?
31535Where would you have been now had it not been for me?
31535Where''s the startling novelty you promised me?"
31535Which seem the worthier conditions?"
31535Who could it be?
31535Who has done more for love than I-- I whose hands are red with blood, I who this night must die?
31535Who is she?"
31535Who said that love was everlasting?
31535Who should know, if I do not know?
31535Who told you that she was my step- mother?"
31535Who was it said that the evil spirits of dead men dwell imprisoned in those sad- crying birds?
31535Who was it who blasted my life, my happiness, my honour, my name?
31535Who was she?
31535Who was she?"
31535Who was this priest, and why had he come so far to tell his story?
31535Who?"
31535Whom do you see in the boat?"
31535Why are you always creeping across my life like a dark, noisome shadow?
31535Why are you here?"
31535Why did it all make such an impression upon me, I wonder?
31535Why did you not tell me at Cruta?"
31535Why do I think of those days?"
31535Why do you look at me with that light in your eyes?
31535Why do you not find me some?"
31535Why do you stand there?"
31535Why do you turn away?
31535Why else was he here,--why else did he disclaim the confessional?
31535Why had they come to torment me?
31535Why is it?"
31535Why not?"
31535Why should you obey him?
31535Why was I sent?
31535Why, in thunder, did you let Adrea what''s- her- name, the dancing girl, come down here?"
31535Why?
31535Why?
31535Will you come and let me give you some tea this afternoon, after the fashion of you strange islanders?
31535Will you come in a week, if I work the Colonel?"
31535Will you come?"
31535Will you ever understand?
31535Wo n''t you go and lie down for awhile?
31535Wo n''t you walk in, sir?"
31535Wonder how he''ll like it?
31535Would he be able to subdue me to his bidding?
31535Would he call it an intrusion?
31535Would she realize the sanctity of her mission, and keep herself fit and pure for its accomplishment?
31535Would they haunt me for ever like this?
31535Yes?
31535Yet how was that possible?
31535Yet stay,--what was that?
31535Yet what could I do?
31535Yet, how could I have kept away?
31535Yet, why should you fear?
31535You are going down to Aldershot, are n''t you?
31535You are not angry with me now for coming, are you?"
31535You are not mocking me?
31535You are sure you are well?"
31535You are well, are you not?"
31535You did not come with him, did you?
31535You have a brother?
31535You remember this?"
31535You rode home in a cab together from Lady Swindon''s, did n''t you?
31535You were coming in, were n''t you?"
31535You would not care whatever happened to me, would you?
31535after all, what did it matter?
31535and what would happen if those rumours should reach his mother''s ears, as some day they certainly would?
31535are you sure that you love me?"
31535do you not understand?
31535have you come here to mock me?
31535he cried, his voice choked with passion,"is this thing true?
31535may I not stay by your side?
31535shall we go?"
31535she asked, and would he stay and dine?
31535was I getting superstitious and faint- hearted before my task was begun?
31535was not that the scream of a dying man?
31535were there no reports?"
31535what do you mean?
3070A beard?
3070A large scale map, I presume?
3070A lawyer, is he not, gray- headed, and walks with a limp?
3070A man''s or a woman''s?
3070A spy?
3070About what?
3070Ah, Wilson, I see you have not forgotten the little case in which I had the good fortune to help you?
3070Am I right?
3070And found nothing?
3070And have no doubt searched all the huts until you came to this one?
3070And have you made your will, Sir Henry?
3070And he made you swear to say nothing about your appointment with Sir Charles?
3070And how do you propose to do so?
3070And how much was the residue?
3070And how would you describe Mr. Sherlock Holmes?
3070And the dog?
3070And the hound?
3070And the one beyond, which shines so brightly?
3070And the woman''s name?
3070And then after you had sent the letter he dissuaded you from keeping the appointment?
3070And then?
3070And this Cavalier opposite to me-- the one with the black velvet and the lace?
3070And what is your theory of this poor fellow''s death?
3070And what marks did you see by the wicket- gate?
3070And when she is undeceived?
3070And when?
3070And where did he say that he lived?
3070And why were you holding a candle to the window?
3070And why were you so pressing that Sir Charles should destroy your letter?
3070And yet we manage to make ourselves fairly happy, do we not, Beryl?
3070And you said nothing?
3070And you say you can penetrate it?
3070And you, a trained man of science, believe it to be supernatural?
3070Any orders, sir?
3070Anything good?
3070Are you armed, Lestrade?
3070Are you armed?
3070Are you coming up?
3070Are you? 3070 But Dr. Mortimer was no doubt already stopping there?"
3070But I understand that it is something more modern and practical upon which you wish to consult me?
3070But are you sure of this, Holmes? 3070 But how about his food?"
3070But how about the case?
3070But how about the chance of his holding someone up before he goes?
3070But how?
3070But how?
3070But if you saw him so seldom and wrote so seldom, how did he know enough about your affairs to be able to help you, as you say that he has done?
3070But it had not approached the body?
3070But not actually raining?
3070But what do you intend to do?
3070But what is it that alarms you?
3070But what is it?
3070But what is the danger?
3070But why a rendezvous in the garden instead of a visit to the house?
3070But why at such an hour?
3070But why keep me in the dark?
3070But why should you wish to go into so horrible a place?
3070But why this elaborate deception?
3070But your family have been with us for several generations, have they not? 3070 But, hark, what is that?"
3070But, surely, you said that it was a new brown boot?
3070But, tell me, Watson, what do you make of our visitor''s stick? 3070 By the way, Dr. Mortimer, who is this Barrymore, anyhow?"
3070By the way, I do n''t suppose you appreciate that we have been mourning over you as having broken your neck?
3070Can you not tell when a warning is for your own good? 3070 Can you see anything?"
3070Can you tell me anything about him? 3070 Caught cold, Watson?"
3070Certainly, but how?
3070Colour of his eyes?
3070Did Barrymore profit at all by Sir Charles''s will?
3070Did any see it after?
3070Did he ever strike you as being crazy-- this brother of hers?
3070Did he give any explanation of his conduct?
3070Did he say anything more?
3070Did he say so?
3070Did it do you any good?
3070Did n''t he get the telegram? 3070 Did the boy deliver it into your own hands?"
3070Did you answer it yourself?
3070Did you correspond with Sir Charles?
3070Did you correspond with him?
3070Did you ever write to Sir Charles asking him to meet you?
3070Did you see him then?
3070Did you, for example, happen to hear someone, a woman I think, sobbing in the night?
3070Do n''t you think that is an admirable sentiment?
3070Do none suggest themselves? 3070 Do you know how he died?"
3070Do you know the names?
3070Do you mean danger from this family fiend or do you mean danger from human beings?
3070Do you mean that your wife and you wish to leave?
3070Do you not find it interesting?
3070Do you see anything there?
3070Do you see that Black Tor over yonder? 3070 Do you think a woman could go alone at that hour to a bachelor''s house?"
3070Footprints?
3070For example?
3070From Charing Cross Hospital?
3070Going out, Watson?
3070Had Sir Charles reached this?
3070Had Sir Charles received any other letters in the same writing?
3070Has Mr. Sherlock Holmes?
3070Has anything escaped me?
3070Has he escaped?
3070Have you any better explanation?
3070Have you any objection to my looking at your register?
3070Have you been on the moor already?
3070Have you ever met him?
3070Have you made anything out of the tangle? 3070 Have you seen him?"
3070Have you the dates of those letters?
3070He being the heir?
3070How can he see the guiding wands to- night? 3070 How can you do that?"
3070How can you say that, sir?
3070How can you say that?
3070How did you know that?
3070How did you know what I was doing? 3070 How do you explain it?"
3070How do you know of him then?
3070How do you know that?
3070How does she live?
3070How high was it?
3070How in the world can you say that?
3070How long will it take you to make up your mind?
3070How on earth did you do that?
3070How so?
3070How was it that no one else saw it?
3070How was that?
3070I guess we are aiding and abetting a felony, Watson? 3070 I hope your visit has cast some light upon those occurrences which have puzzled us?"
3070I presume that the reason he gave was that you would receive help from Sir Charles for the legal expenses connected with your divorce?
3070I presume, Doctor, that you could tell the skull of a negro from that of an Esquimau?
3070I say, Watson,said the baronet,"what would Holmes say to this?
3070I trust that there is nothing of consequence which I have overlooked?
3070I trust that they do not mean that I have done anything to forfeit your confidence?
3070I understand that the yew hedge is penetrated at one point by a gate?
3070If this woman is in truth his wife, where does Mrs. Laura Lyons come in?
3070If you did n''t see him, how do you know he was in the loft?
3070If you have never worn them, why did you put them out to be cleaned?
3070In spirit?
3070In your opinion there is a diabolical agency which makes Dartmoor an unsafe abode for a Baskerville-- that is your opinion?
3070Into his own hands?
3070Is he safe?
3070Is it hard to know?
3070Is it like anyone you know?
3070Is it not the very picture of an old family home? 3070 Is it ready?"
3070Is that convenient to you, Watson?
3070Is that serious?
3070Is there any other opening?
3070Is there anything between the hedges and the walk?
3070Is there no such thing as a gentleman?
3070Is this true, Barrymore?
3070It is he, then, who is our enemy-- it is he who dogged us in London?
3070It seems natural, does it not? 3070 It suggests-- halloa, my dear fellow, what on earth is the matter?"
3070May I ask if he is going to honour us with a visit himself?
3070Might I trouble you for it-- the inside page, please, with the leading articles?
3070My God, what''s that, Watson?
3070My dear Watson, clumsy as I have been, you surely do not seriously imagine that I neglected to get the number? 3070 My dear fellow, how can you possibly be so sure of that?"
3070My footprint, I presume?
3070No doubt,said I;"but how do you know that he is anywhere upon the moor?"
3070No,said Holmes;"did you?"
3070Not on the very day of Sir Charles''s death?
3070Nothing more that you can remember?
3070Now, tell me, Dr. Mortimer-- and this is important-- the marks which you saw were on the path and not on the grass?
3070Of course you know the legend of the fiend dog which haunts the family?
3070Oh, John, John, have I brought you to this? 3070 Oh, he mentioned his name, did he?
3070Oh, you return to- morrow?
3070On the second floor?
3070Or more astonished, eh?
3070Queer spot to choose, is it not?
3070Quite in the back row, eh? 3070 Running from what?"
3070Shall I run on and stop them?
3070Shall we move farther back upon higher ground?
3070Shall we turn back?
3070So that to reach the Yew Alley one either has to come down it from the house or else to enter it by the moor- gate?
3070Some poaching case, no doubt?
3070Still looking for your boot?
3070Surely you are mistaken about his trade?
3070Surely you will stay and have some dinner?
3070The devil''s agents may be of flesh and blood, may they not? 3070 Then I understand that on your arrival in London yesterday you went out at once and bought a pair of boots?"
3070Then anyone could have got over it?
3070Then had you not better consult him?
3070Then he was certainly there?
3070Then how is it that you did not go?
3070Then, how can I assist you?
3070There are many sheep- dogs on the moor?
3070There is no other claimant, I presume?
3070To London?
3070To see Mrs. Laura Lyons?
3070To walk across the moor?
3070Was ever such bad luck and such bad management, too? 3070 Was it here?"
3070We are to wait here?
3070Well, Watson, what do you make of it?
3070Well, Watson, what do you think of this new light?
3070Well, then, to- night?
3070Well, what happened when you did get there?
3070Well, you see the hills beyond? 3070 Well,"said I,"has this precious relation of yours departed, or is he still lurking out yonder?"
3070Well?
3070Well?
3070Well?
3070Were they on the same side of the path as the moor- gate?
3070What are they? 3070 What are you doing here, Barrymore?"
3070What are your questions?
3070What business?
3070What can I tell you about him?
3070What can we do?
3070What did he do?
3070What do they call this sound?
3070What do you make of it yourself?
3070What do you make of it, Dr. Mortimer? 3070 What do you make of it?"
3070What do you mean, then?
3070What do you say, Watson?
3070What do you think about it, Mr. Sherlock Holmes?
3070What do you think is the cause of so strange a sound?
3070What does it suggest?
3070What effect do you think it will have upon his plans now that he knows you are here?
3070What have I withheld?
3070What is it? 3070 What is it?"
3070What is that?
3070What is the Alley like?
3070What is the next move?
3070What is the object of these questions?
3070What is this, Perkins?
3070What new conditions?
3070What shall we do now?
3070What sort of facts?
3070What sort of night was it?'' 3070 What then?"
3070What then?
3070What was it you wanted to ask, sir?
3070What was it? 3070 What was that?"
3070What was the use?
3070What, are you coming, Watson?
3070When did he say this?
3070When do you desire to go?
3070Where can she be, then, since there is no light in any other room except the kitchen?
3070Where is it, Watson?
3070Where is it?
3070Who delivered it?
3070Who is he, then?
3070Who is she?
3070Who is the gentleman with the telescope?
3070Who knew that you were going to the Northumberland Hotel?
3070Who was the man?
3070Who-- who''s this?
3070Who?
3070Whom would you recommend, then?
3070Why about Sir Henry in particular?
3070Why in thunder should anyone follow or watch me?
3070Why should I go back?
3070Why should I not go?
3070Why should I stay here alone?
3070Why should he not go to the home of his fathers?
3070Why should we not arrest him at once?
3070Why should we not seize him at once?
3070Why so?
3070Why then, did you not write to Sir Charles and explain this?
3070Why was it bad?
3070Why, Dr. Watson, that''s not you, is it? 3070 Why, who do you think this is?"
3070With a wood round it?
3070Would it not be well in the first place to get rid of this Barrymore couple?
3070Would you wish dinner to be served at once, sir?
3070You do n''t mean that you know where he is?
3070You do n''t mean to say that you came after me in spite of all?
3070You do n''t mind my driving straight home, Sir Henry?
3070You have always kept together, I presume?
3070You have arms, I suppose?
3070You have lost one of your boots?
3070You have not observed anyone follow or watch you?
3070You knew him, did you not?
3070You know it well, then?
3070You know that there is another man then?
3070You know the story of the hound?
3070You mean that the thing is supernatural?
3070You saw this?
3070You say it was large?
3070You say, Watson, that the lady is not there?
3070You think that he was waiting for someone?
3070You think, then, that some dog pursued Sir Charles, and that he died of fright in consequence?
3070''Do We Progress?''
3070''Is all ready for Sir Henry?''
3070A sheep- dog of the moor?
3070Am I right?"
3070And Stapleton, where is he?
3070And anyone else?"
3070And from what?
3070And have I not cause for such a feeling?
3070And how did you localize me?
3070And then you heard nothing until you read the reports of the death in the paper?"
3070And why did she weep so bitterly?
3070And why-- why?
3070And you saw no more of him?"
3070Are you strong enough to stand?"
3070Are you sure of what you say?
3070Barrymore?"
3070Beneath it were signed the initials L. L.""Have you got that slip?"
3070Besides, besides--""Why do you hesitate?"
3070But I want to know why the word''moor''should have been written?"
3070But how could I know-- how could l know-- that he would risk his life alone upon the moor in the face of all my warnings?"
3070But how did you know me?"
3070But how in the name of wonder did you come here, and what have you been doing?
3070But supposing, for argument''s sake, that we had him arrested to- night, what on earth the better off should we be for that?
3070But the marks?"
3070But where could such a hound lie concealed, where did it get its food, where did it come from, how was it that no one saw it by day?
3070But you had your suspicions?"
3070But you were very young when you last saw Baskerville Hall, were you not?"
3070But you will come on, will you not, and see Merripit House?"
3070But, dear me, what''s this?
3070By the way"--his eyes darted again from my face to Holmes''s--"did you hear anything else besides a cry?"
3070By whom?"
3070Can you tell the position of the rooms?
3070Come now, Watson, did n''t you think yourself that it was the cry of a hound?
3070Could he-- could he be the stranger whom I saw upon the tor?
3070Could this be my stern, self- contained friend?
3070Could you swear to that man''s face within the cab?"
3070Did I think that because I was a baronet I could do what I liked?
3070Did he find out where he hid, or what he was doing?"
3070Did no one examine?"
3070Did the composer fear an interruption-- and from whom?"
3070Did the pale, watchful Barrymore know more than he cared to say?
3070Did they know that they would receive this?"
3070Did you ever hear a bittern booming?"
3070Did you get your other boot?"
3070Did you see him come out on us?"
3070Do I understand you to say that you have yourself had some remarkable experience since you arrived in London?"
3070Do my eyes deceive me, or is there at the present moment something moving upon that hill- side?"
3070Do n''t you see now whence these words have been taken?"
3070Do n''t you think, Watson, that you are away from your charge rather long?
3070Do you observe anything remarkable about that?"
3070Do you see?"
3070Do you think that I should intrude if I were to call this afternoon and make the acquaintance of Sir Henry?"
3070Even the best of us----""You thought it might injure his reputation?"
3070Good heavens, are you mad?"
3070Halloa, Watson, what''s this?
3070Has he remained in London, or has he followed us down here?
3070Has it never struck you that the way to catch that man was to find out where he got his food, and so trace it to him?"
3070Have you among your neighbours or acquaintances on Dartmoor any man with a black, full beard?"
3070Have you heard the De Reszkes?
3070Have you met Mr. James Desmond?"
3070Have you turned the case over in your mind?"
3070Have you yesterday''s Times, Watson?"
3070He passes along the same path at the same hour, and to whom should he be going except to the convict?"
3070He?"
3070Her initials were L. L.""How do you know this, Barrymore?"
3070Holmes?"
3070Holmes?"
3070How about that hour of darkness in which the power of evil is exalted?"
3070How could I settle the point forever?
3070How could he claim it without causing suspicion and inquiry?"
3070How could he have permitted Sir Henry to fall in love with her?"
3070How dared I offer her attentions which were distasteful to her?
3070How did he die?"
3070How did he know?"
3070How did you do it?"
3070How do you know that the woman is his wife?"
3070How else could it be known so quickly that it was the Northumberland Hotel which he had chosen?
3070How far do you think it is?"
3070How is the owner going to restore the glories of the Baskervilles if he has not money enough to keep up the property?
3070I suppose that by Saturday all might be ready?"
3070I trust that Sir Henry is none the worse for his journey?"
3070If I could only use it to detach his wife----""His wife?"
3070If you hold these views, why have you come to consult me at all?
3070If you meant no more than this when you first spoke to me, why should you not wish your brother to overhear what you said?
3070If your position is innocent, why did you in the first instance deny having written to Sir Charles upon that date?"
3070Is he safe?"
3070Is it not obvious?"
3070Is it possible that I am really in danger from so dark a cause?
3070Is it, then, stretching our inference too far to say that the presentation was on the occasion of the change?"
3070Is n''t that the direction of the great Grimpen Mire?"
3070Is that a place where a shepherd would be likely to take his station?
3070Is there anything that would prevent me from making a good husband to a woman that I loved?"
3070James, you delivered that telegram to Mr. Barrymore at the Hall last week, did you not?"
3070L.?"
3070May I inquire who has the honour to be the first?"
3070Might I trouble you then to be ready in half an hour, and we can stop at Marcini''s for a little dinner on the way?"
3070My God, can there be some truth in all these stories?
3070Never been there?
3070Now, Mr. Holmes, what would you advise me to do with him?"
3070Now, you rascal, do you deny that it is a signal?
3070Old Frankland the crank?"
3070On what occasion would it be most probable that such a presentation would be made?
3070Or a spectral hound, black, silent, and monstrous?
3070Shall I have a cab called?"
3070Sheep- pens?"
3070Sir Henry has, I suppose, no superstitious fears in the matter?"
3070Sir Henry?
3070So his name was Sherlock Holmes, was it?"
3070So you actually thought that I was the criminal?"
3070So you have been to Coombe Tracey, have you?"
3070Somebody hurt?
3070Supposing that anything happened to our young friend here-- you will forgive the unpleasant hypothesis!--who would inherit the estate?"
3070The one is whether any crime has been committed at all; the second is, what is the crime and how was it committed?
3070The question now is, what shall we do with this poor wretch''s body?
3070The sending of this letter was suggested to you by Stapleton?"
3070Then, again, whom was he waiting for that night, and why was he waiting for him in the Yew Alley rather than in his own house?"
3070There is one very singular thing, however: How came Selden, in the darkness, to know that the hound was on his trail?"
3070They are all family portraits, I presume?"
3070This article, you say, contains all the public facts?"
3070Was he also out in that deluged-- the unseen watcher, the man of darkness?
3070Was he our malignant enemy, or was he by chance our guardian angel?
3070Was he the agent of others or had he some sinister design of his own?
3070Was it possible that it was Barrymore after all whom we had seen in the cab in Regent Street?
3070Was it possible that this stolidly respectable person was of the same blood as one of the most notorious criminals in the country?
3070Was that his work or was it possibly the doing of someone who was bent upon counteracting his schemes?
3070Was the wicket- gate closed?"
3070Was there a human agency in the matter?
3070Watson?"
3070Well, do you see the low hill beyond with the thornbush upon it?
3070Well, have you got it?
3070What about the convict on the moor?"
3070What are those latticed windows at this end?"
3070What became of the hound when its master was in London?"
3070What did Selden say?
3070What do they say of it?"
3070What do you advise that we do now?"
3070What do you make of that?"
3070What do you make of those?"
3070What do you propose to do?"
3070What do you think of that, Watson?"
3070What do you think of that?
3070What do you think we should do?"
3070What does it mean?
3070What does it mean?"
3070What does it mean?"
3070What does man want more?
3070What has he against me?
3070What interest could he have in persecuting the Baskerville family?
3070What is he after?"
3070What is the meaning of it all?
3070What is the nearest telegraph- office?
3070What is the use of troubling Mr. Holmes with trifles of this kind?"
3070What signs are there of a hound?
3070What then?
3070What was I doing with the lady?
3070What was he, then?
3070What was the name that he mentioned?"
3070What were you doing at that window?"
3070What would you recommend?"
3070What''s he waiting for?
3070What''s the game now?"
3070What''s the matter with me, anyhow?
3070What''s this paper?
3070What''s this?"
3070What, in heaven''s name, was it?"
3070When he dragged himself here one night, weary and starving, with the warders hard at his heels, what could we do?
3070When was it inhabited?"
3070When would his friends unite to give him a pledge of their good will?
3070When you pass Bradley''s, would you ask him to send up a pound of the strongest shag tobacco?
3070Where are the marks of its fangs?
3070Where do you think that I have been?"
3070Where had you engaged a seat?"
3070Where have you dropped from?"
3070Where is Barrymore?"
3070Where is that friend or enemy now?
3070Where is this brute of a hound which drove him to his death?
3070Where, then, could he have been?
3070Who is your confederate out yonder, and what is this conspiracy that is going on?"
3070Why had he done this?
3070Why should I deny it?
3070Why should I preserve faith with him who never kept any with me?
3070Why should I try to shield him from the consequences of his own wicked acts?
3070Why should a man walk on tiptoe down the alley?"
3070Why should he wish to live at the place of danger?"
3070Why should she fight against every admission until it was forced from her?
3070Why should she have been so reticent at the time of the tragedy?
3070Why should she turn so pale?
3070Why should you mind what they call it?"
3070Will you come upstairs, Dr. Watson, and inspect my collection of Lepidoptera?
3070Will you remember to give them that message?"
3070Winner of the Jackson prize for Comparative Pathology, with essay entitled''Is Disease a Reversion?''
3070Would you have any objection to my running my finger along your parietal fissure?
3070Would you mind getting that orchid for me among the mares- tails yonder?
3070You acknowledge now that you wrote it?"
3070You and I know that he died of sheer fright, and we know also what frightened him; but how are we to get twelve stolid jurymen to know it?
3070You are aware, perhaps, that a close intimacy exists between this lady and the man Stapleton?"
3070You could easily recognize it, could you not?"
3070You did not know, Dr. Mortimer, that you were followed this morning from my house?"
3070You do n''t believe it, do you, Watson?"
3070You do n''t believe such nonsense as that?"
3070You have been inside the house, have you not, Watson?
3070You have lost one of your boots, you say?"
3070You have nothing else to report to us before we go into this matter?"
3070You must allow that there is nothing supernatural about this, at any rate?"
3070You notice those bright green spots scattered thickly over it?"
3070You saw me, perhaps, on the night of the convict hunt, when I was so imprudent as to allow the moon to rise behind me?"
3070You say that before Sir Charles Baskerville''s death several people saw this apparition upon the moor?"
3070You say that your fare told you that he was a detective?"
3070You understand me?
3070You understand?"
3070Your marriage, you say?"
3070cried Dr. Mortimer,"what is this?"
3070does stand for''Charing Cross Hospital,''what further inferences may we draw?"
3070is?"
3070you do n''t mean to say----?"
35686A misunderstanding about what?
35686Ai n''t you''fraid you''ll be caught?
35686Am I under arrest?
35686Am I under arrest?
35686Are they then such remarkable lions?
35686As usual, you will not have many social events of any consequence after Lent, I presume?
35686But can we make him give up his plunder?
35686But could you have disposed of the bonds without being suspected?
35686But how did you induce him to surrender this money and property?
35686But we do n''t have either in this country,said Mrs. Sanford;"and now, suppose you had a large sum of money, what would you do with it?"
35686But who is going to pay me for the use of my steamer all day?
35686But why should he want me to lose money?
35686Ca n''t you wait until to- morrow?
35686Could n''t we get it away from him and forge his name to it?
35686Course I will; did n''t you ever see a( hic) bond b''fore?
35686Did n''t you see that piece in the paper yesterday?
35686Did you ever own any?
35686Did you have a partner in this affair?
35686Did you know that he had all that money with him?
35686Did you say you wanted to sell one?
35686Do n''t you know of any wealthy fellow who carries considerable money about with him?
35686Do n''t you know that we ca n''t stay here all night?
35686Do n''t you think a policeman is good enough to marry?
35686Do you know what those are?
35686Do you mean that you have been gambling again?
35686Do you propose to take any steps against her?
35686Does he ever drink?
35686Does your head ache?
35686Good morning,he said to Salter, with a haughty nod;"is Don Juan at home?"
35686Had n''t you any friends here who would have helped you?
35686Have you ever had any work to do in this city?
35686Have you known her long?
35686Have you seen that fellow that was here last night?
35686How about the Donna?
35686How can you do that?
35686How did you enjoy yourself yesterday evening?
35686How did you happen to leave your husband?
35686How do you feel this morning?
35686How have you been betting?
35686How large a sum has he in his possession now?
35686How much would you need for that purpose?
35686How so?
35686How so?
35686How so?
35686How would it do to suggest to the proprietor of the gambling rooms that it would be doubly for his interest to fleece this man? 35686 How would it sound if any one should hear me?"
35686I know you could; but what good would it do you? 35686 I mean, that you wo n''t give me away to the police?"
35686I never yet went back on any one who did the fair thing by me; and I know you will do that, wo n''t you?
35686I suppose they had fully arranged everything before you were sent for?
35686I suppose you must have been very warm friends,said Newton,"or he would not now be so ready to assist you?"
35686I think you were very lucky in having played elsewhere,replied the Don;"but what''s the matter with you?
35686I wonder how she would have retaliated upon me if I had struck her name off my list to- night? 35686 If people suspect her of improper intimacy with McIntyre, why do they admit her to their houses?"
35686If that be the case, why not arrest him now and get the advices from London afterward?
35686Indeed, Pietro, you shock me,replied the Don, sympathetically;"shall I order some breakfast for you?"
35686Is he a Southerner too?
35686Is that the only reason why you dislike to see him, Señor Morito?
35686Is that worth fifty dollars?
35686Jack Ingham?
35686Monsieur Lesparre,said the Don, as they lounged back in luxuriant easy- chairs,"what do you think of my suggestion at dinner?
35686No, I did not know it until afterward,she replied;"why do you ask?"
35686No, I do not,he replied;"what are they?"
35686No, indeed; how was it?
35686No,replied Bernardi,"I have very few; why do you ask?"
35686No; how did you recover it?
35686Now you will be flush for a long time, wo n''t you?
35686Pardon me,I interrupted;"was the Don married?"
35686Shall you permit me to be treated in this manner?
35686So you are still successful?
35686Suppose, however,said the Minister,"that he should refuse all terms, and determine to fight it out?"
35686Then I_ am_ a prisoner?
35686Then what are you asking me for?
35686Then you arrest me?
35686Well, I shall remember in future to call you''Don Pedro''; but what can you do for me in the way of money and clothes?
35686Well, Mr. Mather----"Why do you address me always so formally? 35686 Well, Mr. Pinkerton,"said Judge Key,"what do you think of this affair?
35686Well, Pietro, have you decided how soon you will be ready to leave town?
35686Well, Pietro,began the Don,"where are you from?
35686Well, how is the Don dressed, then?
35686Well, suppose you should lose them,she queried;"could any one who found them make use of them without being discovered?"
35686What are you going to do here?
35686What are you going to do with all that?
35686What business were you in there?
35686What do you care about my drinking?
35686What do you know about water?
35686What do you mean by addressing me in this manner?
35686What do you mean by refusing to take us on board?
35686What do you mean?
35686What do you mean?
35686What do you want to drink?
35686What is your business?
35686What is your hurry?
35686What kind of a raise?
35686What night?
35686What was her name?
35686What was the matter with him?
35686What''s that?
35686When are you to give your answer?
35686Where are you playing?
35686Where in the devil is the Don?
35686Whereabouts?
35686Who the devil are you, anyhow?
35686Who was that man you were playing cards with the other night?
35686Who was that person, Don Pedro?
35686Why ca n''t you hold it yourself?
35686Why did n''t you hit her with the poker?
35686Why did you leave Louisville?
35686Why did you not tell me about this? 35686 Why do you ask?
35686Why not? 35686 Why not?"
35686Why should I be arrested?
35686Why, are n''t they married?
35686Why, where did you get all that money?
35686Will you guarantee that it is good and all right?
35686Will you, really? 35686 Wo n''t you call me Henry when we have an occasional_ tête- à- tête_?"
35686Would he go, do you think, if he should lose all he has?
35686Would it not be possible to frighten him into telling all he knows of Don Pedro?
35686Would n''t his friends catch you if they had the numbers of the bonds?
35686Yes, that may have been true heretofore, but how do I know where Don Pedro is?
35686Yes; I recollect having seen her with you once in New Orleans,replied Newton, on a venture;"is she dead?"
35686You are not in good spirits to- day, Donna Lucia?
35686You can go to the bank to- morrow and get the coupons cashed for me, ca n''t you?
35686You do n''t suspect that I had any hand in it, I hope?
35686Your friend would not care to have you talk about his past history, I suppose?
35686After asking Ingham his name, the captain said:"Where were you last Saturday night?"
35686Am I right?
35686As she had been so successful in her encounter with Trafton, might she not be glad to carry out the same scheme again?
35686But, even suppose that such testimony were admissible, can you produce any witness to his crimes in other countries?
35686By the way, how did you happen to find me?"
35686By the way, where is your present señorita?
35686Can you not call me Henry?"
35686Has any crime been perpetrated, and, if so, what?
35686Has he been here looking for me?"
35686Have n''t I told you about that?"
35686How can I sufficiently thank you?"
35686How can they be taken?
35686How could it be done most effectually?
35686How much do you want?"
35686I asked,"or do people run after them simply because they are rich foreigners?"
35686I do n''t know any one of that name; do I, Lesparre?"
35686I immediately replied, also by a cipher dispatch, as follows:"Are you sure it is Levi Farrington?
35686I may call to see you occasionally?"
35686If she were so willing to act as an accomplice in one crime, why not in another?
35686Indeed, admitting again that these crimes were proven, can we establish the identity of Don Pedro P. L. de Morito as the perpetrator of those crimes?
35686Ingham?"
35686Is she as handsome as the other was?"
35686Is there not something said in the invitations about appearing in masks, Don Pedro?"
35686No, sir; we have not a single witness; I ask you as a lawyer, Judge Key, am I not right?"
35686Now, what evidence could we bring to substantiate the accusation?
35686Pinkerton?"
35686Shall I arrest them?
35686So you can have the money ready to- morrow?"
35686Suppose we issue invitations for three weeks from to- day?"
35686The matter of time, place, and means employed must then be carefully noted, and finally we come to consider: 1. Who are the criminals?
35686This action still further prejudiced Salter against him, and he said:"Perhaps you mean Monsieur Lesparre, who is a guest of my employer?"
35686This seems quite like old times, does n''t it?
35686Turning to the sergeant, the captain said:"How long would it take you to bring that man on here, sergeant?"
35686Wan''to play?"
35686Was he a South American, like myself?"
35686Wha''you say?
35686What are they like?
35686What authority have you for arresting me in my own house?"
35686What do you say?"
35686What do you think of the plan, Monsieur Lesparre?"
35686What do you want?
35686What is the reason for your question?"
35686What makes you look at me so strangely?"
35686What say you, Madame Sevier?"
35686What should you think, Madame Sevier, of such a request?"
35686What was the object sought thereby?
35686What would be my duties?"
35686When the documents had all been signed, I said:"José Gomez, you fully understand the meaning of this paper?"
35686Where are they now?
35686Why are you so anxious to get rid of me?"
35686Why ca n''t you stop drinking for a month or two?"
35686Why should I want you to lose?
35686Will three thousand dollars be enough?"
35686Will you believe it?
35686Wo n''t you please tell me how she is dressed?"
35686You are acquainted with Senator Muirhead, Judge?"
35686You are n''t afraid of anything, are you?"
35686You goin''ter gimme a( hic) chance t''win it back?"
35686You have certainly been as fortunate as I have been the reverse; do you make much by gambling?"
35686You have not been fortunate, it is evident; but how did it happen?"
35686You know Mr. Crapmel?
35686You wo n''t go back on me, will you?"
35686[ Illustration:_"What do you mean by refusing to take us on board?"
35686by the way,"she exclaimed, suddenly,"did I tell you that I got back my watch?"
35686ejaculated Bernardi;"why did he want to clean me out?"
35686have n''t you seen him to speak to since the_ fête_ commenced?"
35686is that all there is of it?"
35686or are you really married as you said?
35686she exclaimed;"is it thus that you show your discretion?
35686that was a speculation that paid well, eh?"
35686very true; where is he, George?
35686would you dare?"
33383''I beg your pardon, but are you the person who took Michael Gladwin to the Orphan''s Home?'' 33383 A toy lantern?"
33383A''G''man in disguise?
33383After receiving a letter like that how could the old man be mean enough to act the way he did?
33383After that I suppose you never heard from him again?
33383And how about our supply of wood?
33383And is Rudy your dog?
33383And shall we pay our rent to him?
33383And what did you tell him, Dad?
33383And what would you do, Penny?
33383And where is this young man named Michael Haymond?
33383And where was that, young man?
33383And will you have the cottage cleaned for us?
33383And you hope that it will be possible to trace the cloth?
33383And you told him you would?
33383Any more questions? 33383 Any news about your toy lantern?"
33383Anything else wrong about the place?
33383Anything we can do to help?
33383Anything wrong?
33383Are n''t any of the upstairs windows unfastened?
33383Are n''t you an early bird this morning, Penny?
33383Are n''t you going to say hello to me?
33383Are there any mirrors in this place?
33383Are they there?
33383Are you actually sure that he came to Kendon?
33383Are you going to Benton now?
33383Are you having nightmares?
33383Are you still hopeful that someone will claim the toy lantern?
33383Are you sure you''ll not think my ideas wild?
33383Are you sure, Penny?
33383Are you taking your car?
33383Are you thinking of buying yourself a dress, Penny?
33383Are you worrying about toy lanterns, Dad?
33383But how did he get your telephone number?
33383But how did you know where to find Walter Crocker?
33383But how do I know it is yours?
33383But what became of Walter after Jenny''s death?
33383But where will we go?
33383But who is he? 33383 But who is with him?"
33383But why should he try to hide the fact?
33383But wo n''t he wish to get his car which is stored in your barn?
33383But would n''t you think that Walter Crocker would want to find out how much damage had been done to his car before he left?
33383By whom?
33383Ca n''t you open a window?
33383Can we prove it, Dad?
33383Can you tell us the name of the person who brought Michael to the Home?
33383Come in out of the rain, wo n''t you?
33383Confronted with the former matron you believe that he would break down and confess the truth?
33383Could you give me a list of the persons who have bought material from this bolt?
33383Dad, did n''t we pick up Walter Crocker at just about this point?
33383Dad,said Penny presently,"do the Kirmenbachs have any children?"
33383Dear me, how did you manage to see him? 33383 Dear me, what is going on here?"
33383Did Herman offer any reason for doing what he did?
33383Did I offend your housekeeper?
33383Did I see you coming from the barn?
33383Did I understand you to say we are renting the Crocker cottage?
33383Did anyone except you and me see Walter Crocker? 33383 Did my father employ you to read his private letters?"
33383Did n''t I tell you to call on me if you needed help with the case?
33383Did n''t he tell Herman Crocker that he would positively deliver them next Thursday night?
33383Did n''t you investigate him?
33383Did you ever see such a beautiful yard?
33383Did you find what you were after?
33383Did you learn anything, Dad?
33383Did you never make any attempt to trace the boy''s parentage?
33383Did you or did you not have a toy lantern in your house?
33383Did you really?
33383Did you say that Herman Crocker''s home is close to our cottage?
33383Did you say you wanted a ride?
33383Do n''t say what, Dad?
33383Do n''t you expect your father home before night?
33383Do n''t you remember I was using it for one of my own until you happened to notice it?
33383Do you have a film?
33383Do you have a flashlight?
33383Do you know of any other way the lantern happened to be in this room?
33383Do you know where I could find her?
33383Do you know who sent the letter?
33383Do you recall his full name?
33383Do you recall how long ago you missed the lantern?
33383Do you remember that broken toy lantern which I showed you?
33383Do you want to know what I think?
33383Does Mr. Crocker usually break his word?
33383Does it make any difference?
33383Does n''t Mr. Crocker have any other living relatives?
33383Does she live close by?
33383Does your grandfather have a ladder?
33383Doing what?
33383Even the walls have ears?
33383Find anything, Dad?
33383First, how did you learn Mr. Crocker''s secret?
33383Good- by?
33383Have you been cutting more wood?
33383Have you forgotten the wick of the toy lantern?
33383Have you inquired for him in the village?
33383Have you seen the man before?
33383Have you sold very much of it?
33383Have you walked far?
33383He made a positive identification?
33383His nephew?
33383How about the doors? 33383 How about the postman?
33383How are we going to get in?
33383How could I when I did n''t know anything about it myself until an hour ago? 33383 How could he hope to get away with anything as crude as that?"
33383How did it get here?
33383How did you learn that he was related to you?
33383How do I know he''ll keep his promise?
33383How do we know he ever went to the city, Dad?
33383How do you account for Walter Crocker''s car being in Herman''s barn?
33383How is your grandson, Perry?
33383How long has he been away?
33383How many queer characters have you discovered since we came here?
33383How many servants do you employ?
33383How much rent are we paying for this mansion, Dad?
33383How soon may we have the prints?
33383How? 33383 I do n''t suppose you have it with you?"
33383I suppose the local police made a routine investigation?
33383I take it that Walter did n''t discover the lantern in his pocket?
33383I wonder if Michael Haymond is in his room?
33383I wonder if anyone was hurt?
33383I wonder if he did n''t make up the entire story?
33383I wonder if you would recognize him by description?
33383I wonder what he expected to find?
33383I wonder what he''s doing up there?
33383I wonder what is the matter with her?
33383I wonder who is up at this hour?
33383I''m wanted for what?
33383If she''s any good as a housekeeper, why not hire her ourselves by the week? 33383 Indeed?"
33383Is everything all right here?
33383Is he good looking?
33383Is it that ancient, vine- covered mansion?
33383Is n''t it just as dark here?
33383Is n''t this out of season?
33383Is n''t your grandfather here?
33383Is that you, Perry?
33383Is there a fire somewhere?
33383Is this your lantern?
33383It''s another warm day, is n''t it?
33383Just what is it that you wish?
33383Letters?
33383May I ask why you doubted it?
33383May I go along, Dad?
33383May I see it, Dad?
33383May I show you something in yard goods?
33383May I speak with your servants now?
33383May I take your coat and hat? 33383 Meaning just what, Penny?"
33383Michael, why do n''t you come in with us?
33383Might n''t it have been that man who tried to break into your cottage at night?
33383Mr. Crocker does n''t actually mistreat the boy?
33383Mr. Crocker practically admitted it, did n''t he? 33383 Mr. Crocker''s nephew?"
33383Mr. Nichols, you do n''t think that the toy was left by the jewel thieves?
33383Mrs. Masterbrook at home?
33383My nephew?
33383Near here?
33383No?
33383Nothing new?
33383Now do n''t you see?
33383Now what do you suppose he wants?
33383Now what have you discovered, little Miss Detective?
33383Now what kind of candy do you want?
33383Now what''s our move?
33383Now what?
33383Of course I do n''t wish you to get into trouble, Perry,she said quietly,"but why does n''t your grandfather like me?"
33383Oh, by the way, do you know Michael Haymond, our new hired man?
33383Oh, by the way,he said,"I do n''t suppose you found a package of letters in the rumble seat?"
33383Oh, you do?
33383Only a quarter of a yard?
33383Or are you girls running a race?
33383Penny, are you making all this up?
33383Penny, what were you starting to tell me about an account book?
33383Perry,said the detective kindly,"do you remember a toy lantern which Mr. Turner gave you the other day?"
33383Professionally?
33383So Mr. Madden is mixed up in this affair too?
33383So you really are willing to stay?
33383Susan, I did n''t like to say so in front of Mrs. Havers, but why could n''t Michael Haymond and Michael Gladwin be the same person?
33383That being the case, why did we interfere at all?
33383The attic?
33383The point is-- what shall we do with these letters?
33383The point is-- where would we get another housekeeper on short notice? 33383 Then by keeping these letters we might be depriving him of his rightful inheritance?"
33383Then how did he learn his true name and that he had a right to the fortune? 33383 Then where are we going?"
33383Then why would n''t that be a good solution of the matter?
33383Then you believe Herman Crocker really did cheat him out of the money?
33383Then you''ve reached a dead end?
33383There''s no question that Michael will get the money, Dad?
33383Toward home?
33383Walter?
33383Well, did you bring the money?
33383Well, what about it?
33383Well, what is it?
33383Were they valuable?
33383Were you the person whom I mistook for a robber a few nights ago?
33383What became of Michael?
33383What connection does it have with this bolt of dress goods?
33383What could we say?
33383What did you do when you found the letters?
33383What did you expect to find in our cottage?
33383What do you expect to find?
33383What do you find so funny?
33383What do you imagine he has lost?
33383What do you think became of the owner?
33383What do you think happened?
33383What do you want here?
33383What do you want here?
33383What do you wish to know?
33383What finally became of the letters?
33383What is Herman doing here?
33383What is it all about anyway?
33383What is it you want of me?
33383What is it, Penny?
33383What is it, Penny?
33383What is it?
33383What is that, Dad?
33383What is this-- a lecture in motor safety?
33383What is wrong, Dad?
33383What kind of candy will you have?
33383What made you think that?
33383What makes you think he''s a stranger?
33383What makes you think so, Penny?
33383What may I do for you?
33383What shall I do about your mail, sir?
33383What shall I do first? 33383 What shall I say if anyone telephones?"
33383What sort of place is Knob Hill?
33383What was so unusual about it, Dad?
33383What was that?
33383What was that?
33383What will become of Herman Crocker?
33383What will you do now, Dad? 33383 What would a jewel thief-- a grown man be doing with a toy lantern?"
33383What would it pay?
33383What would you do if you found the letters, Penny?
33383What''s all this mystery you wrote me about?
33383What''s happened to the lights?
33383What''s lucky about it?
33383What''s so startling about that?
33383What''s so strange about him?
33383What''s wrong down at the cottage now?
33383What''s your complaint?
33383What?
33383When did you discover your loss?
33383When will he return?
33383Where did you get that?
33383Where did you say you bought the goods?
33383Where is that?
33383Where is the car?
33383Where shall I say you are?
33383Who are you?
33383Who do you think he is?
33383Who else could he be?
33383Who is Mrs. Masterbrook, and where is that old house you mentioned?
33383Who is she?
33383Whom did your friend plan to visit here?
33383Whose?
33383Why could n''t we drive over to Ferndale to- night and take Michael with us? 33383 Why did my uncle hate me?"
33383Why did n''t his claim to the fortune come up at that time? 33383 Why did you come here?"
33383Why did you do that?
33383Why do n''t you snap one of the house?
33383Why do n''t you try resting now and then?
33383Why indeed? 33383 Why not heat some on the stove?"
33383Why not let them grow?
33383Why not?
33383Why should he?
33383Why would n''t he be?
33383Why, where did you get my lantern?
33383Why-- what makes you think that?
33383Will he be expecting you?
33383Will he be sent to prison, Dad?
33383Will we have many other neighbors?
33383Will we need a lantern?
33383Will you fork up the money or shall I go to the authorities?
33383Would it do any harm to try?
33383Would n''t it have been better not to have taken the letters? 33383 Would you have wanted me to take it to a Kendon garage?"
33383Would you mind calling off your dog? 33383 Would you remember him?"
33383Yes, that was queer, was n''t it?
33383Yes; how far are you going?
33383You are acquainted with Walter Crocker perhaps?
33383You are certain?
33383You are sure you have the right name?
33383You did a little investigation work?
33383You did n''t learn much, did you?
33383You dropped it on the davenport?
33383You had it towed to your place for him?
33383You had lost it?
33383You have the letters with you?
33383You mean now?
33383You put the toy lantern into Walter Crocker''s coat pocket?
33383You say that you saw Herman in town?
33383You surely do n''t think that a child committed the robbery, Dad?
33383You think that he has met with a mishap?
33383You think the letters already had been taken?
33383You were n''t looking for me by any chance?
33383You wish to see me concerning a former inmate of the Glenhaven Home?
33383You wished to consult me professionally?
33383You''ll likely be going in to town sometime to- day?
33383You''re not Mr. Crocker''s little boy?
33383You''re not going away, Penny?
33383You''re not hinting that something may have happened to Walter Crocker?
33383You''re not hurt?
33383You''re not intimating that Walter Crocker never went back to the city?
33383You''re not trying to escape from any creditors?
33383You''re not very anxious to go to Knob Hill, are you, Penny?
33383You''re sure that the boy told the truth about having no food?
33383You?
33383And how did he get the letters?"
33383But why did you walk from town?
33383By telling Michael that you''ve suddenly taken a great fancy to him?"
33383CHAPTER IX Herman Crocker''s Visit"You really believe this toy lantern has a connection with the jewel theft?"
33383CHAPTER VII Penny''s Discovery"Is that you, father?"
33383CHAPTER XI Aid from Michael"What''s the matter, Penny?"
33383CHAPTER XV The Missing Letters"What makes you think he has lost the letters?"
33383Can you drive a car?"
33383Chop the wood?"
33383Coming with me, Penny?"
33383Crocker?"
33383Crocker?"
33383Did you live on a ranch?"
33383Did you notice the wick?"
33383Do n''t you wish to ride along with me?"
33383Do you know him?"
33383Do you mind if I look in the back end of your car?"
33383Do you mind walking down Knob Hill?"
33383G.''?"
33383Had the younger man really visited his uncle for the purpose of claiming an inheritance?
33383Have Mr. Crocker arrested?"
33383Have you inquired there?"
33383Having any luck here?"
33383How did anyone get my number so soon?"
33383How did he know about these letters in the trunk?"
33383Hunter?"
33383If that is true, why did the man abandon a good automobile?"
33383If you knew what I do about this place----""What do you mean?"
33383Is there an ax around here anywhere?"
33383Just what does my face tell you?"
33383Madden?"
33383Masterbrook?"
33383Masterbrook?"
33383Masterbrook?"
33383Masterbrook?"
33383May I talk with you?"
33383Nichols?"
33383Not through the keyhole?"
33383Now will you come to terms or shall I tell my story around Kendon?"
33383Penny, what would happen if we just kept these letters?"
33383Say, you''re not Nichols from Belton City?"
33383Shall I call her?"
33383Shall I carry these packages out to the car for you?"
33383Shall I lock them?"
33383Then he asked abruptly,"How would you like a steady job for a few days?"
33383Then the woman said coldly:"Well, what if I did write it?
33383Then what happened?"
33383There was a long silence and then the girls heard Old Herman say in a weary voice:"How much do you want?"
33383Well, do you agree?"
33383Well, where shall I meet you if you do n''t want me coming here?"
33383What do you make of it?"
33383What gave you the idea that Jay Kline and Walter Crocker are one and the same person?"
33383What has Michael done that he''s ashamed to have his true name known?"
33383What is his true name and how did he obtain the evidence against Herman Crocker?"
33383What would be more natural than to have the nephew conveniently disappear?"
33383Why are you prying into my father''s private papers?"
33383Why did n''t you telephone?"
33383Will you please help me prepare the east bedroom?"
33383Would you be kind enough to direct me?"
33383Would you be willing to take a position as housekeeper for a couple of weeks?"
33383Would you mind if I invited her down here for a few days?"
33383You mean the one which your father believes to be a clue in the Kirmenbach case?"
33383You''ll not send me to jail, will you?"
30811A matter of eyesight?
30811A search?
30811A victim?
30811About me?
30811Alone?
30811Am I a fool?
30811Am I to thank you?
30811Am I to understand, then?
30811And Pauline?
30811And am I not a man?
30811And if you do not?
30811And is it worth while, I wonder?
30811And that is?
30811And the end of the story?
30811And the information?
30811And the letter?
30811And the others?
30811And then he married, I suppose?
30811And what is the name of this wonderful person?
30811And when you have the letter,she continued,"you will bring it straight back to me?"
30811And why should Pauline''s coming affect the situation?
30811And yet, can you understand what I mean when I say that it makes me feel a trifle hysterical? 30811 And yet, do you know why I have chosen to mix a little more with my fellows?"
30811And you came from?
30811And you never make use of your power?
30811And you wo n''t leave me alone?
30811And you''re going to give it all up?
30811And your friend at Beauleys?
30811Another condition?
30811Anything special?
30811Are n''t you a little allegorical?
30811Are there any letters?
30811Are you glad?
30811Are you really the half- starved boy who flung himself at my horses''heads in the Bois?
30811Are you?
30811Because of Pauline?
30811Bertrand, did he-- did he recognise you?
30811Bertrand, do you know that I have been here since the morning?
30811Bertrand, what are you going to do then? 30811 Bertrand,"she murmured,"what does it mean?
30811Bertrand,she whispered,"why do you look like that?"
30811But after all, Pauline, you do n''t take this sort of person seriously?
30811But how am I to deal with it? 30811 But how can I?"
30811But was the letter of any importance?
30811But when will you take me out to dinner? 30811 But why?"
30811But, Lois,he protested,"you can not imagine that by looking at a man I could help to kill him?
30811By the bye, who is this ferocious- looking person?
30811By the bye,he continued, after a second''s pause,"is this our first meeting?
30811By what right,he asked,"do you come here and dictate to me?
30811Ca n''t we live without mentioning those things? 30811 Ca n''t we sit here and talk for a little time, or go further back into the wood?
30811Ca n''t you put it off, Bertrand?
30811Ca n''t you understand, Duchess,Saton said,"how much harm we do to ourselves by any exhibition of the sort you suggest?
30811Ca n''t you understand,the woman exclaimed, her voice shaking,"that we are on the verge of a precipice?
30811Ca n''t you understand?
30811Ca n''t you,she said,"make her say how Mr. Rochester met with his accident?"
30811Can one get a Cook''s ticket?
30811Can one get there by motor- car, or even flying- machine?
30811Dear Maurice, do order the car for half- an- hour''s time, will you?
30811Did he remind you of anyone?
30811Did she flirt?
30811Did you come to my show this afternoon hoping just to catch me tripping, or are you engaged in a larger quest altogether?
30811Did you come to see me?
30811Did you encourage that young man to stay to tea?
30811Did you really come to see me?
30811Do I need to find one?
30811Do I need to tell you,he asked,"that great wealth was not among the things I saw that night?"
30811Do I understand that you decline to give me any account of yourself?
30811Do I understand,he asked Rochester,"that my departure from this house is forbidden?"
30811Do n''t you agree with me?
30811Do n''t you care for me?
30811Do n''t you think, perhaps,his wife remarked,"that you are prejudiced because you have some knowledge of his antecedents?"
30811Do we need it?
30811Do you know that I have the right to tell you to get up, and never to pass through that gate again?
30811Do you know what this means?
30811Do you know where I can find Dorrington?
30811Do you know,he asked at length,"what the natural inference to me seems-- the inference, I mean, of what you have just told me?"
30811Do you mean Bertrand Saton?
30811Do you mean,she asked,"that you will live here all your days?"
30811Do you mean,she said,"that Mary wants to give up her silly little flirtations, and turn serious?"
30811Do you mind,Saton asked,"if I introduce some of these people to you?
30811Do you mind,he asked, soon after they started,"just dropping me at the club?
30811Do you mind,she asked,"leaving me?
30811Do you really believe, then, that it is possible to foretell the future?
30811Do you think that I shall understand any more about it when I have read these books?
30811Does it amount to a friendship?
30811For instance?
30811From these people?
30811Go?
30811Going away?
30811Has he been telling you all your fortunes?
30811Has he come?
30811Have n''t you had all the triumph you wanted? 30811 Have n''t you heard that I am more than half a madman?
30811Have we to go on anywhere?
30811Have you anything in your pocket which you are quite sure that Lady Marrabel knows nothing of?
30811Have you ever heard,he whispered in her ear,"of the legend of the Frankenstein?"
30811Have you found relatives out in the world, or are you married?
30811Have you told me everything?
30811He is nice, is n''t he?
30811He was very poor, then?
30811How are things with you?
30811How are you going to live, then?
30811How do Lady Mary and her husband get on?
30811How do things go to- day?
30811How was I to know?
30811I am to take it, then,she continued,"that you know absolutely nothing about your protégé?
30811I beg your pardon, sir,the newcomer said,"but can you tell me whereabouts in this neighborhood I can find a house called Blackbird''s Nest?
30811I trust that I did not make a mistake, sir, in allowing her to wait?
30811I wonder if you''d mind not going to the club to- night, Henry?
30811If you are,she rejoined,"is that any reason, Bertrand, why you should pause to listen to the voices whose cry is meaningless?
30811In any case,Vandermere said, turning to his companion,"were n''t we going to Hurlingham this afternoon?"
30811Is he an insufferable bounder?
30811Is it a man or a woman?
30811Is it because he has interfered between us,she asked timidly,"that you dislike Mr. Rochester so much?
30811Is it,he asked gravely,"that you care about this person?"
30811Is n''t it wicked?
30811Is that really true?
30811Is that so very wonderful, Lois?
30811Is there anything particular,Rochester asked grimly,"that we are permitted to talk about?"
30811Is this a proposal?
30811Is your friend in the diplomatic service?
30811It is finished?
30811It is nothing serious, I hope?
30811It''s almost time, is n''t it?
30811Lady Marrabel is''at home''?
30811Let it to you?
30811Like what?
30811Madame is in?
30811Married him?
30811Matchmaking again?
30811May I ask what your occupation is, when in health?
30811May I walk a little way with you?
30811Might one inquire once more,he asked,"what your occupation in Mechester is?"
30811My arrest?
30811My dear Duchess,Rochester interrupted,"what are you talking about?"
30811My dear Henry,she said,"you are not exactly a fool yourself, are you?
30811My dear man,she exclaimed,"how can I?
30811My dear young lady,he said,"my dear Lois, what do you mean?
30811My dear?
30811My friend?
30811No love affairs, eh?
30811Once and for all?
30811Only three weeks?
30811Or any person?
30811Pretty?
30811Really you? 30811 Relative?
30811Shall I telephone to you?
30811She agreed?
30811She is there?
30811She is,Rochester remarked,"I presume, of an age to disarm scandal?"
30811She looks as old as Methuselah,his wife answered,"but what does the man want with such a creature at all?"
30811She wants to leave you?
30811So I am to be ordered off?
30811Speaking of ambitions, Mr. Saton,Lord Penarvon asked across the table,"are you interested in politics?"
30811Tell me why you almost consented,he asked, abruptly,"and then changed your mind?
30811Tell me, if you can, what is its precise significance?
30811Tell me,his hostess asked,"what do you yourself consider the things better worth doing?"
30811Tell me,she said,"have you really never met Lord Guerdon before?"
30811The girl, the little fair fool of a girl with money-- Lois Champneyes you called her-- where is she?
30811The husband of the lady?
30811The lady whose name you have mentioned,Saton said softly--"is she also your ward?
30811The question?
30811The stings, Bertrand? 30811 The sum of money being?"
30811Then why are you here?
30811Then you never heard about the romance of his life?
30811This is number 38, is n''t it?
30811To Beauleys?
30811To dinner? 30811 To see your friend Henry Rochester, I suppose?"
30811Was it necessary for you, too, to go?
30811We can spend the evening together, ca n''t we?
30811Well,she said,"what has happened?
30811Well?
30811Well?
30811Well?
30811Well?
30811Well?
30811Well?
30811Well?
30811Were you very intimate in those days?
30811What becomes of the money?
30811What can I do for you?
30811What club is it?
30811What do we gain by that?
30811What do you know about her?
30811What do you mean when you say that you find it harder?
30811What do you mean?
30811What do you mean?
30811What do you mean?
30811What do you want with him? 30811 What does it matter what I think of it?
30811What else?
30811What has she been saying?
30811What has she to do with you?
30811What have you answered?
30811What have you been doing?
30811What if he had seen you, eh? 30811 What is it?"
30811What is it?
30811What is the matter, dear?
30811What is the time?
30811What is there to find out?
30811What is wrong, Bertrand?
30811What of Huntley? 30811 What sort of a creature am I, then,"he exclaimed,"that you should think me unworthy even to speak to your ward, or to the women of your household?
30811What the devil are you doing here, Saton?
30811What was the reply?
30811What, is he dining here?
30811What, you mean here at Beauleys?
30811What?
30811When did you come?
30811When will our next evening be, Bertrand?
30811Where can we talk?
30811Where have you been this afternoon?
30811Where have you been to?
30811Where is she?
30811Who are you?
30811Who is that?
30811Who is that?
30811Who is the young lady?
30811Who knows?
30811Who shot me?
30811Who was it?
30811Who were the ladies of the party?
30811Whom would you like to help you?
30811Why are you?
30811Why do you let him talk to you, dear? 30811 Why do you want me to marry you?
30811Why not now?
30811Why not?
30811Why not?
30811Why not?
30811Why not?
30811Why not?
30811Why not?
30811Why not?
30811Why not?
30811Why not?
30811Why not?
30811Why not?
30811Why should I change now? 30811 Why should it?
30811Why should you and I play with words? 30811 Why should you force me for explanations?
30811Why should you take it for granted that there is so much amiss in my life, that I have fallen so far away from those dreams? 30811 Why this wild rush?"
30811Why trouble to teach them?
30811Why wait a day? 30811 Why, even, should I have wished for it?"
30811Why?
30811Why?
30811Why?
30811Why?
30811Why?
30811Will the work,she asked softly,"never be done?"
30811Will they let me take you down to dinner?
30811Will you come and see me one day, and talk about it? 30811 Will you come this way?"
30811Will you drive home with me now?
30811Will you excuse me for a moment?
30811Will you forgive me if I leave you now? 30811 Will you look at your presents now or after breakfast?"
30811Will you take anything?
30811With the Rochesters?
30811Wo n''t you come and have some luncheon with me at the Berkeley, or anywhere you please? 30811 Would you like,"he added,"to know what is the matter with me?"
30811Yes,she said,"we have been friends, only we have n''t seen much of one another the last month or so, have we?"
30811Yes?
30811Yes?
30811Yes?
30811You are a detective, are you not?
30811You are busy to- day?
30811You are going to allow yourself, then, to be the prey of these morbid fancies? 30811 You are not angry with me any longer?"
30811You are not by any chance annoyed with me?
30811You are not frightened at me any more, then?
30811You are not going away just yet, are you?
30811You are not going to say anything disagreeable?
30811You are really coming to the Wintertons?
30811You are sure, Pauline,he asked,"that you are not bored yet with the country?"
30811You are the Mr. Bertrand Saton of whom the writer of this letter speaks?
30811You attach importance,she asked,"to such an incident as this?
30811You believe that you saw me touch that gun?
30811You can not recognise it? 30811 You could not see his face?"
30811You could not see his face?
30811You defy me?
30811You did not mean what you said?
30811You dislike Saton?
30811You do n''t know whether he is in the neighborhood or not?
30811You do n''t really do very much, do you? 30811 You do not know who it was that fired that gun?"
30811You do not recognise it?
30811You find it difficult to see her, then?
30811You found the room close?
30811You have been spending your time alone?
30811You have brought a letter, then?
30811You have come to tell me that you are sorry?
30811You have kept the condition, then? 30811 You have n''t heard anything about that fellow Saton?"
30811You have something else to tell me, have n''t you?
30811You mean Lord Guerdon?
30811You mean that?
30811You mean to one of these crystal- gazers or fortune- tellers?
30811You saw me?
30811You see who it is?
30811You think I shall have to pay a great deal of money, then?
30811You went to have your fortune told?
30811You were speaking of judges?
30811You will come again?
30811You will come with me?
30811You will kiss me?
30811You will not speak of this to anyone?
30811You wish to live there alone?
30811You wish to marry her, do n''t you?
30811You wish to see me?
30811You wish to talk then, about that night?
30811You wo n''t be able to send me that book, then?
30811You, too,Rochester asked politely,"are perhaps a student of the occult?"
30811You?
30811Young?
30811Your commercial instincts,Rochester remarked,"have not been thoroughly aroused, then?"
30811Your visit had some purpose?
30811About half- past one, I suppose?"
30811All London seems to be going to see those two people at the Alhambra-- or is it the Empire?
30811Am I to understand that you have made use of him in some way?"
30811And after all, was it worth while?
30811And do you know that your photograph is in two or three of the illustrated papers this week?"
30811And why?
30811And why?
30811And yet she receives him at her house, and treats him with a consideration which, frankly, shall we say, annoys me?"
30811And yet, Henry, are you sure, are you quite, quite sure that there is nothing in life greater even than love?"
30811Are you a fool that you do n''t realize it?"
30811Are you really only as old as you look?"
30811At any rate, we might start by seeing a little more of one another?"
30811Bertrand, you have n''t forgotten?
30811But tell us exactly to what you refer?"
30811But what about the girl?"
30811But who can tell?
30811But you believe that?"
30811By the bye, who is your protégé?"
30811Ca n''t we have something here, and go for a walk in the country before my train goes, or sit in your study and talk?
30811Ca n''t you feel it, any of you others, as I do?"
30811Ca n''t you see that I do n''t want to come with you, that I do n''t want to be with you?
30811Ca n''t you see that just now, at any rate, I do n''t want to understand?"
30811Could n''t you feel that?
30811Could n''t you have left me alone to spend this last hour my own way?
30811Could we start directly after breakfast?"
30811Did I tell you, Mary,"she continued, turning away from Rochester,"that I met that extraordinary man Naudheim in London?
30811Did n''t you understand?
30811Did she treat you in just the same way?"
30811Did you not hear the bell?
30811Did you shoot yourself, or was it one of your guests who did it?
30811Do I despair?
30811Do make an exception for once, wo n''t you?"
30811Do n''t you believe, Lois,"he added, bending towards her,"that I am fond of you?"
30811Do n''t you think that even though we live our lives apart, do n''t you think that to me the world is a different place when you are near?"
30811Do n''t you think that the very small things of life, things that are not worth counting, have absorbed a good deal of your attention lately?"
30811Do n''t you think that you are frittering away a great deal of your time and thoughts?
30811Do you come as an enemy?"
30811Do you imagine that the danger is over?"
30811Do you know how you looked when you first heard his name-- when he came into the room?"
30811Do you know what Mr. Rochester has suggested?"
30811Do you mind, all of you?"
30811Do you read the papers?
30811Do you refuse?
30811Do you remember telling me that death was sometimes a pleasant thing, but that life after failure was Hell itself?"
30811Do you remember telling me that if I failed I was to swim out on a sunny day-- to swim and swim until the end came?
30811Do you understand?
30811Go away and jog homeward behind your fat pony, but----""Well, sir?"
30811Go on with your experiment-- I gather that for the moment it is only an experiment?"
30811Has Rochester been interfering?"
30811Has he told you anything, by the bye, about himself?"
30811Have I ever shown any partiality for anyone?
30811Have I, by chance, the pleasure of speaking to one of the world''s masters-- a millionaire?"
30811Have n''t I told you time after time that this place is infested with detectives?
30811Have these days meant just a little to you also?"
30811Have you plenty of money?"
30811Have you seen him?
30811He is perfectly charming, and is n''t it a lovely name?
30811Henry, why ca n''t we be content with the things that we know and see and feel?"
30811Here?"
30811How could you?"
30811How did you blossom into prosperity?
30811How far had he realized them, he wondered?
30811How have they done to- day?"
30811How is it that you, the professor of a new cult, whose first work is as yet unpublished, find yourself enabled to live in luxury like this?
30811How much was taken to- day altogether?"
30811I almost fancied----""Well?"
30811I am to take it for granted, then, I presume, that you have nothing more to tell me concerning yourself?"
30811I ca n''t marry you without it, can I, Violet?
30811I do n''t mean guests-- I mean people to see him on business?"
30811I do not think that he loves you, eh?
30811I wonder----""Well?"
30811If he has gone away altogether, how will you be able to finish your work?"
30811If the crash comes, and the pieces lie around you, swim out to sea too far, and sink beneath the waves forever!_''Was n''t that your advice?
30811Is it a woman?"
30811Is it because I am rich?
30811Is it not so?"
30811Is it one specific thing you could tell?"
30811Is n''t that a motor horn?"
30811Is that so?"
30811Is this true?
30811Is what I have told you, after all, something of a relief?"
30811It is always the function of the model host, is it not, to neglect the whole of the rest of the guests, and attach himself to the one most charming?"
30811Lois, will you marry me?"
30811May I be a child, and put off looking at them until after breakfast?
30811Not your exact words, perhaps, but was n''t that what you told the boy who sat here and dreamed?"
30811Now you are here you shall tell me if what I saw was the truth?"
30811Only do n''t you see how unwise it is of you to come down here?
30811Perhaps I might be permitted to accompany Miss Champneyes?"
30811Rachael, have you ever loved anyone?"
30811SATON?"
30811SATON?"
30811Saton?"
30811Saton?"
30811Saton?"
30811Saton?"
30811Shall we go and challenge Penarvon and Mrs. Hinckley to a round at golf?"
30811Shall we have a talk?"
30811Shall we say that I was shot by the act of God?
30811Sure you''re not running any risk?
30811Tell me how far you are prepared to go?"
30811Tell me, Bertrand, what kept you down in the country these last few days?"
30811Tell me, Lois,"he continued,"has he had any visitors from London the last few days?
30811Tell me, in plain words, what have you done with yourself these seven years?"
30811Tell me, is there happiness in being associated with any science or any form of knowledge the study of which upsets you so completely?
30811Tell me, was it a nightmare?"
30811Tell me, what''s your handicap at golf now?
30811That was n''t altogether my fault, was it?"
30811There is nothing more to be said, I think?"
30811To- night or to- morrow night?"
30811Was he really great enough to have influenced so light a creature, he wondered?
30811Was it an accident?
30811Was it his fancy, or was there indeed appeal in the quick glance which she had thrown him?
30811Was it, he wondered, because he was always fancying that she looked at him out of Rochester''s eyes?
30811What about Lois?"
30811What am I to do, Pauline?
30811What am I to do?
30811What am I to tell people?
30811What are they?"
30811What are you going to do?"
30811What could I have on my mind?"
30811What could alter me?
30811What did she want?"
30811What did this alteration in his exterior denote?
30811What did you think of it?"
30811What do you say?
30811What do you want with me?"
30811What have you and I to look forward to?
30811What is going to become of me?"
30811What is it?"
30811What is it?"
30811What is that?"
30811What is there in your face?
30811What is there in your life you are not telling me of?
30811What is there left for me to do?
30811What is this sacrifice that I demand?
30811What need is there of introduction?
30811What, go and admit before a magistrate that I had been to a fortune- teller, especially,"she added, looking down,"on such an errand?"
30811What, in God''s name, is he?
30811What?"
30811When are you coming back?"
30811When are you going to ask us all to tea to see your curiosities?"
30811When people once believe it, what is to keep them from coming in their thousands to those who know more than they do?"
30811Where can we go and talk?"
30811Where were you?
30811Who else?"
30811Who is this lady?
30811Why do you allow him to worry you?"
30811Why do you call her your godmother?
30811Why do you do it?
30811Why do you make me so unhappy?"
30811Why should I?
30811Will you give me time, dear?"
30811Will you help me?"
30811Will you let it to me?"
30811Will you remember that I wish it?
30811Will you remember that?"
30811Wo n''t you listen to me for a moment?"
30811Wo n''t you make it the happiest day of mine?"
30811Would you be very angry, I wonder, if I told the truth?"
30811Yes?
30811Yet a few decades ago, who cared about religion, or hearing the truth?
30811You are going to let him work upon your imagination?"
30811You are going to treat this creature as a human being of your own order?
30811You are not afraid of that, are you, Bertrand?
30811You are related to her, perhaps?"
30811You are sure that you have been careful?"
30811You are sure those are all the letters?"
30811You can not honestly believe that I have not been faithful to our unwritten compact?"
30811You do n''t believe that anything could alter me?"
30811You do n''t hate her, do you?"
30811You do n''t suppose-- you can''t-- that it was through me in any way that-- that thing happened?"
30811You do not forget that, Bertrand?"
30811You do not know whether you have ever seen it before?"
30811You do not mind, Maurice?"
30811You have been quite content without me, Henry?"
30811You have had bad news?"
30811You have had coffee?
30811You have no objection?"
30811You hear?"
30811You know nothing, for instance, about his family, or his means?"
30811You know what he has told me?
30811You know what he told me?
30811You know with what he has threatened me?
30811You never met Lord Guerdon before, I suppose?"
30811You remember that night at Beauleys?"
30811You see I ca n''t help myself, do n''t you?"
30811You see her?"
30811You see my house down there-- Beauleys, they call it?
30811You think, then, that he was a detective?"
30811You understand that?"
30811You understand?"
30811You understand?"
30811You want to marry some one else, eh?"
30811You will be very careful, wo n''t you?"
30811You will do that?"
30811You will remember this?"
30811You?"
30811_"Who shot me?
30811she begged--"not even if I ask to be left alone?
30836''She cast you off?'' 30836 ''Where are you going, my pretty maid?''"
30836A great place,he remarked,"to show off the talents of your dressmaker, eh, Quimby?
30836Absolutely-- don''t we, Miss Norton?
30836Afraid?
30836Ai n''t it a lovely morning after the storm? 30836 All finished, gentlemen?"
30836And after that?
30836And it came to nothing in the end?
30836And light?
30836And sealing- wax?
30836And the fleet?
30836And the other?
30836And this?
30836And was the walk in the morning air,she asked,"all you expected?"
30836And when I have got it, and have given it to you-- if I do,he continued,"what then?"
30836And why,he bellowed,"should I get off here?
30836And you?
30836Are you afraid?
30836Are you doomed to stay here long?
30836Are you reading my palm?
30836Are your prophecies true, I wonder?
30836As a result of it?
30836As author to author,asked Magee,"how about your book?"
30836Bland, who am I to- day? 30836 But Baldpate Inn ai n''t the grand idea it looked at first, is it?"
30836But I am not here to apologize for my apparel, am I? 30836 But Sam says the guy just looked him straight in the eye and shut his jaw, and says:''I suppose you''ll be asking after my brother George next?''
30836But what do I care? 30836 But what''s your place in the game?"
30836But why-- why did n''t you give it to me last night? 30836 But would you mind telling me why Miss Thornhill came up to Baldpate to join in the chase for the package?"
30836But your key?
30836But, Peters,pleaded Magee,"you''re not going to leave us in the hole like this?"
30836But-- what honest motive could she have? 30836 By the way, Quimby,"remarked Mr. Magee,"is there a girl in your town who has blue eyes, light hair, and the general air of a queen out shopping?"
30836By the way, is Norton the name?
30836By the way,inquired Magee,"did you notice the passengers from here on the ten- thirty train last night?"
30836Can I help that?
30836Can you imagine it?
30836Cook?
30836Dear, dear,smiled Professor Bolton,"you do n''t think I would steal?
30836Did Miss Thornhill and Kendrick meet for the first time, after his exile, up- stairs-- in number seven?
30836Did n''t Bentley explain? 30836 Did n''t I try?"
30836Did you hear what he said? 30836 Do n''t I detect the odor of coffee in the distance?"
30836Do n''t you find it rather cool with the window open?
30836Do n''t you know that? 30836 Do what?"
30836Do you know him?
30836Do you know what''s happened? 30836 Do you mean--"the professor, exploded,"you do n''t know her?
30836Do you see that girl?
30836Do you think they''d let me? 30836 Do you want to know my name?
30836Drayton sent you here? 30836 Ever seen the bunch I would go out of my way for, Dan?"
30836Everybody ready for one of Mr. Peters''inimitable lunches?
30836Excuse a plain question, young man,he said,"but what are you hiding from?"
30836Fail you?
30836Forgive you?
30836From what part of Ireland do you come?
30836Full of what?
30836Glad of what?
30836Good- by?
30836Got the money, Joe?
30836Got the news, Magee?
30836Have I your promise to stay to dinner?
30836Have we nothing but the next meal to look forward to? 30836 Have you ever stood, poised, on that brink?"
30836Have you seen the pictures of the admiral, Miss Thornhill? 30836 Hello,"the young man was saying,"how do you work this thing, anyhow?
30836How about a quick lunch, Peters?
30836How about this?
30836How about you?
30836How are you going to keep warm in that big barn of a place?
30836How could I?
30836How did you get hold of it?
30836How''d it happen, Doc?
30836How''s this for a watch- dog, Lou?
30836Hush up, ca n''t you?
30836I beg your pardon?
30836I ca n''t help wondering,she said,"which side you are on?"
30836I suppose you''re a delegation, so to speak?
30836I suppose,he said,"your love of fresh air accounts for the strolls on the balcony at all hours of the night?"
30836I want a tip on this-- do you really act?
30836I wonder,reflected Mr. Magee, staring at the very brassy bars at the foot of his bed,"what new variations on seclusion the day will bring forth?"
30836If I can care this much in two days,he said,"think-- but that''s old, is n''t it?
30836If I''m not impertinent, Quimby,put in Magee,"to find what out?"
30836If a man knew the road from hell back home, what would it need to bring him back?
30836In heaven''s name-- what does this mean?
30836Indeed?
30836Is dinner ready?
30836Is it possible to see the room where the admiral plays his famous game?
30836Is it?
30836Is n''t it bracing? 30836 Is n''t it stupid?
30836Is that all?
30836Is that his name? 30836 Is the world crazy?"
30836Is there anything I can do to make you more comfortable?
30836Is there?
30836Is your-- begging your pardon-- is your history just straight?
30836It''s rather dull, is n''t it?
30836Its admiral?
30836Mary what?
30836May I ask what you want of me?
30836May I call your attention,remarked Magee,"to the fact that the long reign of''I''m going to''is ended, and the rule of''I''ve done it''has begun?
30836May I help with the coffee?
30836Mr. Hayden,remarked Magee,"are we to hear from you?"
30836My dear madam,responded Mr. Magee,"only echo answers, and it but vacuously repeats,''Why not?''.
30836No?
30836Now, this is solid comfort, ai n''t it? 30836 Oh, David-- is it a dream-- a wonderful dream?"
30836On the license, is n''t it?
30836People-- here?
30836Perhaps,suggested Magee,"I should have left the window open?"
30836Pretty lonesome, is n''t it?
30836Pretty, ai n''t it?
30836Professor, these gentlemen are your witnesses Do you wish to detain them?
30836Quick, Peters,cried Magee,"where is that package now?"
30836Reformers, eh? 30836 Right on the job, ai n''t he?"
30836Say, what sort of hours do you think I keep? 30836 Say, you never can tell, can you?
30836See that dame?
30836Shall I tell it also to the coroner? 30836 Shall we look about up- stairs?"
30836She is beautiful, is she not? 30836 Shoes?"
30836So Mr. Peters has taken you in on the secret of the book he is writing against your sex?
30836So soon? 30836 So they''re waiting for me, eh?"
30836So you''re out after old Jim Cargan''s scalp again, are you? 30836 So-- reporters, eh?
30836Sort of makes a man sit up and take notice, does n''t she? 30836 Taking an early train, too, eh?
30836Tell me,he asked,"is this the admiral''s game of solitaire?"
30836Tell me,said the girl,"are you glad-- at the way it has turned out?
30836That''s horrid of him, is n''t it?
30836That,he replied,"makes it all the more exciting, do n''t you think?"
30836The law, did you say?
30836The novel you went to Baldpate to write Do n''t you remember, dearest-- no melodrama, no wild chase, no-- love?
30836There''s nothing I''d enjoy more than carrying eight pails of water up- stairs every morning to get up an appetite for-- what? 30836 They add such a lot to the romance of the affair, do n''t you think?
30836Think so?
30836Trespassing, eh?
30836Ugly, are they?
30836Upper Asquewan Falls,she said,"is n''t it reason enough?"
30836Us?
30836Was it your wedding necktie,asked Mr. Magee,"that you threw into the safe when you saw me coming?"
30836Was there anything about that in the agreement? 30836 Was you thinking of eating?"
30836Well, Doc,he remarked jocosely,"how''s trade?
30836Well, what was she crying for?
30836Well, what''s the sense in hiding''em?
30836Well, who could have guessed it?
30836Well-- we''d better wait, had n''t we?
30836Well?
30836Well?
30836Well?
30836Well?
30836What ails you now?
30836What are you doing here?
30836What better proof could you ask,said Mr. Magee flippantly,"than my presence here?"
30836What book?
30836What brought me?
30836What d''you mean?
30836What do you know about that?
30836What do you think of that for an explanation, Lou,inquired Cargan,"she asked him for the money and he gave it to her?"
30836What do you want?
30836What else could it be? 30836 What is it, Quimby?"
30836What is it?
30836What is your business here?
30836What sort of candles?
30836What things?
30836What time is it?
30836What train?
30836What was it-- a one- alarm fire?
30836What worked the transformation? 30836 What''s she crying about?"
30836What''s that?
30836What''s that?
30836What''s that?
30836What''s the matter with Evelyn Rhodes?
30836What''s the matter?
30836What''s this tree for-- the Orphans''Home?
30836What, Professor,cried Magee,"you''re leaving?"
30836What-- what brought you?
30836When did you arrive, may I ask?
30836When does the next train leave for Reuton?
30836Where is she now?
30836Where''s that?
30836Where''s the money, Joe?
30836Where?
30836Which fellow?
30836Which side of what?
30836Who am I,asked Magee,"that I should stand between you and health?
30836Who are you?
30836Who are you?
30836Who is Rutter?
30836Who owns''em?
30836Who pays the police?
30836Who puts on the rubber shoes and sneaks up dark alleys hunting votes among the garbage, while you do the Old Glory stunt on Main Street? 30836 Who the devil are you?"
30836Who?
30836Who?
30836Why did you come?
30836Why did you leave your house on this strange mission?
30836Why did you want to?
30836Why do n''t you give it to her?
30836Why limit it to the county?
30836Why not, I''d like to know?
30836Why not?
30836Why not?
30836Why, David, what is it? 30836 Why, what''s the matter, Lou?"
30836Why?
30836Will it interest you to know,she continued,"I saw the big mayor of Reuton in the village this morning?
30836Will you forgive me?
30836Will you go ahead?
30836Without knowing who I am, or why I must have this money-- you''ll get it for me?
30836Wo n''t I?
30836Wo n''t he?
30836Wo n''t you believe me when I say that I have no part in this strange drama that is going on at Baldpate? 30836 Wo n''t you come back,"he whispered softly,"and explain things to a poor hermit who is completely at sea?"
30836Would n''t it be the limit if they did n''t fall for it?
30836Yes, is n''t it?
30836Yes, where is he?
30836Yes? 30836 Yes?"
30836Yes?
30836You are still''going to''get the money for me?
30836You ca n''t even tell me why you wept in the station?
30836You do n''t mean,gasped Mr. Quimby,"that you''re going to stay there ten years?"
30836You got him, didyu?
30836You heard?
30836You know?
30836You mean Hayden?
30836You refuse?
30836You think so?
30836You trust me?
30836Youth, dear?
30836''What d''ye mean?''
30836''You remember little Sam Burns, do n''t you?''
30836''You?''
30836A beautiful young woman?
30836A man in my position?
30836Afraid of them?
30836Ah, would it?
30836Ai n''t he, dearie?"
30836Am I asking too much?
30836Am I not to have one more chance-- a chance to prove to you how much I care?"
30836And Miss Hunter that taught the sixth grade school when we went there-- a little woman with washed- out gray eyes and a broken front tooth?
30836And he ca n''t do that if he does n''t feel himself, can he?"
30836And if so, what is it?"
30836And presently she asked:"How about the book, dear?"
30836And tell me-- is this the gentleman who took the contract for making Mrs. Norton happy?"
30836And that pretty little girl, Sarah somebody-- wait a minute, I''ll get it or bust-- Sarah-- Sarah-- Sarah Scott, you used to be so sweet on?
30836And what now?
30836And what part could he play in it all?
30836And who knows?
30836And who won the tennis match to- day?"
30836And why was he so little moved by the rapid changes in the make- up of the inn colony-- changes that left Mr. Magee gasping?
30836And-- would you mind asking the gentleman who is pressing his face so feverishly against the bars to kindly close his window?"
30836Andy?
30836Are any of the other guests about?
30836Are you glad I was no lady Captain Kidd?"
30836Are you staying to dinner?
30836Bland are here-- nor why the Mayor of Reuton has the fifth key?
30836Bland frightened you?"
30836Bland in robust tones,"is n''t she nearly off the fire?"
30836Bland, uneasily feeling of his purple tie,"you''re not going back and let them reporters have another fling at you?"
30836Bland, will you inform Mr. Peters that we are to have company to dinner?
30836Boarding it-- for where?
30836But I think almost anything is excusable under the circumstances, do n''t you?
30836But how?
30836But where?
30836But where?
30836But why, he argued, should we both go?
30836But you wo n''t be-- will you?"
30836But-- he''s always talking about that literature chair of his-- why could n''t he stay at home and sit in it?
30836By the way, Mr. Magee, will you send Mr. Peters up to us?
30836By the way, were you by any chance in my room this morning, Professor Bolton?"
30836By the way, where is Bland?"
30836Ca n''t you just see the stunning gowns coming down that stair in state, and the young men below here agitated in their bosoms?"
30836Ca n''t you just see them-- those head- lines?
30836Ca n''t you see I''m working in the dark?
30836Can you imagine the flurry at the approach of all that superiority?
30836Can you imagine what happened?"
30836Candles''d be quite an innovation at Charlie''s, would n''t they, Lou?"
30836Cargan?"
30836Cargan?"
30836Cargan?"
30836Certainly her eyes were an honest blue as well as a beautiful-- but who was she?
30836Coming to call on me-- have I mentioned I''ve got a figure-- a real sweet figure?
30836Confound it, had n''t he come up here to be alone with his thoughts?
30836Could it be possible, he wondered, at this late day, that any one would try for publicity by such an obvious worn- out road?
30836Did any one else know?
30836Did any one else?
30836Did he keep his word?
30836Did he-- did he do it because you took this money-- because he was afraid of what would happen?"
30836Did you ever hit a place like this in winter?
30836Did you marry her, Mark?
30836Did you note any spirit of caution in the fellow who set forth on your quest, and dropped over the balcony rail?
30836Do n''t tell me you did n''t see him in that mix- up at the foot of the steps?"
30836Do n''t you remember the old days in Readsboro?''
30836Do you find anything but joy in my face?''
30836Do you get me?
30836Do you know any good stories ascribed to Congressman Jones, of the Asquewan district?"
30836Do you remember old Ed Haywood that used to keep the drug store right across from the post- office?
30836Do you see me doing a heart- bowed- down act under the palms?
30836Do you see?
30836Do you smoke?"
30836Does that money belong to you?
30836Does that phone ring?"
30836Ever get any notion, Professor, the way a picture like that boosts a novel in the busy marts of trade?
30836Ever see the senator that way?
30836Ever thought of that?
30836For what purpose?
30836Good lord, man,''says Sam,''do you want any more proof?''
30836Had she recognized him as the Magee of light fiction?
30836Has anything happened?"
30836Has he, too, a story?
30836Has he, too, a story?"
30836Has that gone out of style up on the avenue, where you live?"
30836Has the barracks a porch?"
30836Have a pleasant night?"
30836Have one?"
30836Have you a stray tear?
30836Have you been outside?
30836Have you been up to the house?
30836Hayden?"
30836Hayden?"
30836Hayden?"
30836He had to construct from imagination alone the great Reuton station through which the girl and the money must now be hurrying-- where?
30836He muttered"How d''ye do?"
30836How about it?"
30836How are you?
30836How had this been accomplished?
30836How much did you say you was going to get for this article?"
30836How trace through this maze of humans the present holder of that precious bundle of collateral?
30836How''s Sadie getting along?
30836How, he wondered, had he fallen into that error?
30836How?
30836How?
30836I did what was agreed-- do I get my pay?
30836I do not know the custom on such an occasion-- does anybody?
30836I knew it was n''t exactly the thing, but--""You gave him the package?"
30836I looked up--""Who?"
30836I wonder if any other crowd attains such heights of snobbishness as that at a summer resort?
30836I wonder what''s doing in New York?"
30836I''ve always said--""Mr. Magee tells me you''re going back, after all?"
30836If you''d been away from a wife for five years, what would you say when you drifted back?"
30836In heaven''s name, was he never going to stop saying it?
30836Is n''t it a shame?"
30836Is n''t that exciting?
30836Is that you, Andy?
30836It''s Mary--"Mary what?
30836It''s funny, is n''t it?"
30836Let''s see-- what was my task?
30836Magee?"
30836Magee?"
30836Magee?"
30836Magee?"
30836May I ask-- is it true?"
30836May not our autumn come-- when I go away?"
30836Maybe-- but what''s the use?
30836Might one not have too much of a good thing?
30836Mr. Cargan, speaking as a broad- minded man of the world-- what does romance mean to you?"
30836Mr. Magee, have you ever read his essay on liars?"
30836Mr. Peters, will you please go down to the village and bring back Mr. Quimby and-- the coroner?"
30836Myra Thornhill?
30836No place for romance?
30836No?
30836No?
30836Norton?"
30836Now ai n''t it nice of them to come and meet their mayor?"
30836Of ships, and shoes, and sealing- wax--""All the topics in the world,"he replied,"can lead to but one with me--""Ships?"
30836Of what avail a scuffle there in that chill room?
30836Once you met one too smart for ye, eh?
30836Or shall we allow Hayden''s suicide to pass as the result of his implication in this attempt at bribery?
30836Or--""Or what?"
30836Peace on earth, good will toward men-- that ai n''t exactly a good advertisement for the reformers, is it?"
30836Peters?"
30836Peters?"
30836Pretty, ai n''t it?
30836Put me out, will you?
30836Reasonable?
30836Reporters for this lying sheet-- the_ Star_?"
30836Shall I close up shop?
30836Shall I ever forget?
30836Shall I tell you what romance means to me?
30836Shall-- shall you be here?"
30836She has winning ways, that girl-- maybe you''ve noticed?"
30836She stood in the window of her room, while a harsh voice called"That you, dearie?"
30836She-- taking a calm view of it?
30836Should he carry chivalry even to the lengths of Upper Asquewan Falls?
30836Should he step gallantly forward and inquire in sympathetic tones as to the cause of her woe?
30836Should he transfer his allegiance?
30836Since I have met him-- well, it is remarkable, is it not, the effect of personality on one''s opinions?
30836So finally he opened up the solid mass of-- what?
30836So his remark to the young woman was not at all melodious:"Can I do anything?"
30836So what''s the use of your sticking around?"
30836So you''re going to cater to this select few, are you?
30836Sold any new schemes for renovating the world to the up- state rubes?
30836Sometime soon I''m going to say to you:''Whose girl are you?''
30836Surely the little man descending the stair was not, Daniel- like, thrusting himself into this lion''s den with the precious package in his possession?
30836That is-- who''s trespassing, me or you?"
30836That''s the dope, ai n''t it-- the old dope of the reform gang-- the ballyhoo of the bunch that ca n''t let the existing order stand?
30836The cast- off lover of Arabella, the fleeing artist, or the thief of portraits from a New York millionaire''s home?
30836The girl who waited there was very charming and attractive-- but what did he know about her?
30836The guy that never washed his windows?
30836The kid I used to play with under the arc lights-- don''t you remember me?''
30836The rocking- chair fleet sailed by--""The what?"
30836The story of my life?"
30836Then-- say, what''s the matter?"
30836There was a moment''s frightened hush; then the voice of Kendrick rang out:"Killed himself?
30836There was a young fellow like you once--""Like me?"
30836To whose efforts do you ascribe it?"
30836Understand?"
30836Was it the growing feeling of emptiness inside?
30836Was n''t it?
30836Was she on it-- safe?
30836Was she-- as the professor believed-- designing?
30836Was the romance of reality never to resemble the romance of his dreams?
30836Was there some other act of cruelty-- some side to the story of which we are none of us aware?
30836Was they?
30836Was this the stuff of which solitude was made?
30836We are in the same case as the summer guests--""Are we?"
30836Well?"
30836Were the features against which that frail bit of cambric was agonizingly pressed of a pleasing contour?
30836What brought these people to Baldpate Christmas week?
30836What did it all mean?
30836What did she want with this money?
30836What did the young man mean when he asked if he should"close up shop"?
30836What did this calm departure mean?
30836What do you think was in it?"
30836What has brought this domesticated college professor scampering from the Pagan Renaissance to Baldpate Inn?
30836What if it were so?
30836What in the name of common sense is going on?
30836What is he-- an advertisement for a hair restorer?"
30836What next?
30836What now?
30836What part had Thaddeus Bolton, holder of the Crandall Chair of Comparative Literature, in this network of odd alarms?
30836What place had caution in the wild scheme of the night before?
30836What place lonelier than this?
30836What proof do you want?
30836What right has Hayden on his side?
30836What said the librettist?
30836What should he do?
30836What was he to do with the fortune that lay beneath the feet of the mayor of Reuton at this minute?
30836What was it all about?
30836What was the bribe money of the Suburban Railway to her?
30836What was the end to be?
30836What were her exact words?
30836What were the words they sang so many times?
30836What were the words?
30836What would be your conversation on such an occasion?
30836What would she say now?
30836What would the ex- haberdasher do, shorn of his fictional explanation?
30836What you do n''t know wo n''t hurt you?
30836What''d the young fellow do?"
30836What''s Hayden ever done for you?
30836What''s a bullet among gentlemen?
30836What''s always happened?"
30836What''s that?
30836What''s the game?
30836What''s the good word?
30836What''s the matter?"
30836What''s the result?
30836What''s your next imitation?"
30836When?
30836Where did you get her?"
30836Where do you stand as a coffee maker?"
30836Where was she?
30836Where were the dim lights, where the distant waltz, where the magic of moonlight amid which he was some day to have told a beautiful girl of his love?
30836Where''s his proof?
30836Where''s the coin?
30836Where''s the girl?
30836Where''s the hermit?
30836Who are you to defeat the ends of justice this way?
30836Who but Cargan and Max, of course?
30836Who makes the trouble?
30836Who of these had the money now?
30836Who was Andy Rutter, down in Reuton?
30836Who was she?
30836Who was the first reformer?
30836Who was the"he"from whom came the orders?
30836Who''s made it from the beginning of time?
30836Who?
30836Why am I here?
30836Why did n''t I get it?"
30836Why did n''t you get it out and beat it?"
30836Why had it all happened, anyhow?
30836Why has n''t he been up to fix my fire?"
30836Why not a lover?
30836Why not wait until morning?
30836Why not?
30836Why should Hayden have killed himself?
30836Why should he do that?
30836Why try any longer?
30836Why was he at Baldpate?
30836Why wreck two lives?
30836Why?
30836Why?
30836Why?
30836Why?
30836Will you believe then?
30836Will you get him for me, sister?"
30836Will you?"
30836With the hand of a girl like this in his, what if the pleasant by- paths of his solitude did bear hereafter the"No Thoroughfare"sign?
30836Wo n''t we, gentlemen?"
30836Wo n''t you tell me what it all means?"
30836Would he rise in his wrath and denounce the man who had stolen his Arabella?
30836Would you mind saving it for me till later?"
30836You and your lady friend?
30836You are here, I understand, because of an unfortunate-- er-- affair of the heart?"
30836You are saying to yourselves''Why is he here?''
30836You build the blacks on the left, and the reds on the right-- do you get me?
30836You can cook, ca n''t you?"
30836You do n''t mind, do you?"
30836You got his letter, did n''t you?"
30836You have noticed, no doubt, the pictures of the admiral that decorate these walls?"
30836You think you got me, eh?
30836You was n''t thinking of stopping off here, was you?"
30836You wo n''t, will you?"
30836You''d hardly expect me to know it, would you?
30836and most important of all, what was in the package now resting in the great safe?
30836he says to the woman,''by letting well enough alone?
30836inquired Mrs. Quimby sarcastically,"while you stayed up there?"
33242Afraid to get here ahead of time, eh?
33242Ai n''t one fire in twenty- four hours enough for you?
33242Ai n''t there anythin''we can do to stop you from tryin''to run Jip down?
33242Ai n''t there anything I can do to help the poor feller out of the scrape?
33242Ai n''t we here on time?
33242Ai n''t you fellers slingin''a terrible lot of style?
33242Ai n''t you''fraid he''ll be mad if he finds you in there?
33242All hands of us swelling, and our kid rushing around at the head with patched trousers? 33242 Am I in it?"
33242And are you allowing to adopt this''ere kid who is setting himself up as a firebug?
33242And write?
33242And you were figuring on that same thing when you stayed here until eight o''clock last night, eh?
33242Are the men always practising?
33242Are they new clothes, sir?
33242Are we goin''to stay here all night?
33242Are you a fireman already?
33242Are you certain that can be done?
33242Are you claimin''to be posted in the fire business, an''do n''t know things like that are given to men who save folks from bein''burned up?
33242Are you goin''to act jest like as if you was a reg''lar fireman?
33242Are you hurt?
33242Are you reckonin''on stayin''there till you catch him?
33242Are you sure he''s over in Philadelphy?
33242At anything special, sir?
33242But how can you help it if you build the fire right close to the door, when there''s no other way for''em to get out?
33242But how''ll he get back?
33242But if Sam''s here with money in his pocket, how shall we stop him from workin''up the case?
33242But of course I''ll sleep at Mrs. Hanson''s same''s I''ve been doin''?
33242But what about us? 33242 But what am I to do''bout this money he borrowed from Joe Carter?"
33242But what does he know about the detective business?
33242But why are you here, Mr. Davis? 33242 But you do n''t allow folks can go''round settin''fire to houses an''tryin''to burn other people up without havin''to pay for it?"
33242Ca n''t I stay till Ninety- four pulls out?
33242Can Sam Barney have him arrested?
33242Care? 33242 Did Josh really put you into physical training as quick as this?"
33242Did n''t I get Jip Collins arrested?
33242Did n''t they give you any lessons in the school?
33242Did n''t you ever go to school, Amateur?
33242Did n''t you find Sam?
33242Did you hear any of Ninety- four''s men say so?
33242Did you make all that to- day?
33242Do n''t you know any better''n to break up what a feller''s fixin''?
33242Do n''t you know you''re liable to be arrested for doing anything of that sort?
33242Do n''t you know?
33242Do n''t you s''pose I know that after all this time?
33242Do n''t you s''pose they''ve got sense enough to wake up before the thing gets too far along?
33242Do the men really work as hard there as they do at a fire?
33242Do they keep you humpin''on the odd jobs, Amateur?
33242Do they, Amateur? 33242 Do you allow he''ll run straight after this?"
33242Do you go around working for thanks?
33242Do you know how he happened to nab him?
33242Do you know where he is?
33242Do you mean Jip? 33242 Do you mean that I''m goin''to school now?"
33242Do you mean that we''re to hire a reg''lar room?
33242Do you mean to say we''re goin''to range a decent house? 33242 Do you mean to say you''re willin''he should burn the shed an''come pretty nigh killin''you?"
33242Do you mean you''re hankering to run to a fire with them good clothes on?
33242Do you mean''cause of what was done last night, Dan?
33242Do you really mean that?
33242Do you really think I stand a better chance of gettin''into the Department because of tryin''to pull the kid through?
33242Do you reckon they believe you''re a detective?
33242Do you s''pose I count on shinin''boots for a livin''all my life?
33242Do you s''pose he could find any one chump enough to lend him money?
33242Do you s''pose he stayed on the street after that?
33242Do you s''pose he''s countin''on doin''this all alone?
33242Do you s''pose he''s countin''on findin''Jip Collins in that fool way?
33242Do you s''pose we ought''er thank Mr. Davis now for findin''the room for us?
33242Do you think you could keep things in proper shape here? 33242 Feeling pretty good this morning, ai n''t you, kid?"
33242Feeling rather sore?
33242Fine? 33242 Found you plenty of work, eh?"
33242Gettin''scared, eh?
33242Going to strike for Seth while the iron''s hot, eh?
33242Got to do it now? 33242 Had a bath this morning?"
33242Had your breakfast?
33242Have n''t got any folks, eh?
33242Have you been here all that time?
33242Have you been with Ninety- four''s crew at this''ere fire, or not?
33242Have you done anythin''yet?
33242Have you given it up?
33242Have you got enough to buy your breakfast with?
33242Have you got the feller yet what stole your money?
33242Have you seen him since he did this terrible fine piece of detective work?
33242Have you seen_ him_?
33242Have you_ got_ to get Jip arrested?
33242He ai n''t on at headquarters Sunday, is he?
33242He did n''t mean a word of it; did you, Jip? 33242 Hello, where are you fellers goin''?"
33242How are you countin''on gettin''your ticket to come back?
33242How are you feelin''this mornin'', kid?
33242How are you feeling, kid?
33242How did he get a chance to do anything like that?
33242How did he happen to be here instead of at headquarters?
33242How did you find it out?
33242How did you get along at headquarters?
33242How did you hear of it so soon?
33242How did''Lish Davis swell''round?
33242How do you count on keepin''awake?
33242How do you know that?
33242How do you mean?
33242How does that fit in with the lesson you read to him?
33242How long are you goin''to keep up sich a racket as that?
33242How long since you turned out?
33242How much did that lay- out cost you last night?
33242How much money have you got laid up?
33242How much will it cost?
33242How will you get another outfit?
33242How''d you get in?
33242How''s Jip gettin''along?
33242How?
33242I can take care of myself as well as you, an''if I do n''t knock''round when there''s a fire, how am I ever goin''to learn the business?
33242I do n''t see very much of you, an''perhaps----"You''re reckoning that we may get a call, and you''ll have the chance to go out with us?
33242I do n''t suppose I could sneak in?
33242I made pretty near forty cents, an''it''s kind''er tough if a feller ca n''t spend fifteen of it, eh?
33242I s''pose we sha n''t see very much of you now you''re gettin''so high up in the Department, eh?
33242I s''pose you think you''re pretty nigh the only feller in this town?
33242I s''pose you''d have gone in there if you was wearing the finest coat ever made, eh?
33242I suppose Sam still holds to it that he''ll pull Jip in?
33242I suppose you had n''t thought you might be needing something to eat?
33242I thought''Lish Davis said he''d have his eye out so''s you could n''t get into the fire lines?
33242I''d like to know why?
33242I''d like to know why?
33242I''d like to know, sir, if I''m to be allowed to pay for these clothes when I get so I can earn money enough?
33242If such was the case, would you admit it?
33242If you ai n''t scared, what are you makin''a row''bout now? 33242 Is Sam Barney still on my trail?"
33242Is he the only feller who owes you anythin''?
33242Is it a bad fire?
33242Is it all over?
33242Is it me they mean?
33242Is that what you call a habit?
33242It''s Dan Roberts, of course, an''I was----"Are you acquainted with the prisoner?
33242It''s coming kind of tough on Ninety- four, eh, Jerry?
33242It''s too late to tackle the job to- night; but what''s to stop all three of us from goin''to the Erie Basin after Sam Barney leaves town? 33242 Kind- er late this mornin'', eh?"
33242Little fidgety about to- morrow''s work?
33242Look here, Sam, s''posen it turns out that you do n''t find Jip, how''ll you get home?
33242Look here, Seth, what kind of a stiff are you tryin''to give me?
33242Mr. Davis took a lawyer there?
33242No; is he goin''to the court?
33242Not sure whether you''re feeling good or not?
33242Now see here, Seth Bartlett, what''s the sense of talkin''that way? 33242 Now, see here, mister, Jip never''d done that----""Where were you?"
33242Now, then, Amateur, what are you staring at? 33242 Now, what''s the matter with my doin''a little thing like that?
33242Of course I''ll black boots here same as I''ve allers done?
33242Of course, we may be in the wrong as to that, but if we ai n''t, how''ll you live? 33242 Oh, has he gone over there?"
33242Oh, you did, eh? 33242 Oh, you do n''t, eh?
33242Sam says Jip is in Philadelphy; now, s''posen all hands chipped in enough to buy a ticket for him to go there? 33242 See here, Amateur, how much money have you on hand?"
33242See here, Seth, are you countin''on keepin''that racket up?
33242See here, ai n''t I a detective?
33242Seen Sam Barney to- day?
33242Shall I have any chance to see you?
33242So Jip Collins had sand enough to try an''burn us out, did n''t he?
33242So the letter is for you, even though you never received one before?
33242So we did, sir; but we met Jip Collins, an''----"The kid who started the fire in the lumber- yard?
33242Something been going on that we have n''t heard?
33242Stuck on the business, eh?
33242Sure you''re all right?
33242That kid has got sand, eh?
33242That''s what----The attorney interrupted him by asking as before:"What is your name?"
33242Them as do n''t know their business gets left; but we have n''t got in with that crowd, eh, William?
33242Then how does it happen he let anybody go through him?
33242Then if we talk smooth he stands a better chance, eh?
33242Then there''s nothin''for the poor fellow but to go up the river?
33242Then what are you goin''up this way for?
33242Then why did n''t you''tend to it when you first came in?
33242Then you believe he''d work''round and be a decently square kind of a boy if he got out of this scrape?
33242Then you did n''t have any row?
33242Then you do n''t feel like backin''out yet?
33242Then you will keep the officers from arrestin''him?
33242There''s a brick building butts up against the back end of that lot, so your only chance of getting out would be to come through the lumber- yard?
33242They tell me you''re counting on being a fireman one of these days?
33242They''re beginnin''to find out that I''m no slouch of a detective after all, hey?
33242We''ve got the money, sir,Seth replied;"but seein''''s we belong to Ninety- four jest now, why ca n''t we stay till she pulls out?"
33242Well, how did you sleep last night?
33242Well, how do you like it so far''s you''ve gone?
33242Well, s''pose he has? 33242 Well, s''posen I am?"
33242Well, s''posen they should? 33242 Well, sha n''t I be in time-- and not such a terrible long while either?
33242Well, what are you doing here so early? 33242 Well, what do you think of it?"
33242Well, what have you done with your firebug?
33242Well,Seth said after a brief reflection,"if you ca n''t help him, what''s the use of standin''here?"
33242Well,he cried, stepping directly in front of the boys,"what do you think_ now_''bout my bein''a detective?"
33242Were they to wait there for me?
33242Wha-- wha-- what?
33242What about the fire?
33242What are you countin''on doin''right now?
33242What are you counting on wearing?
33242What are you doing here?
33242What are you goin''to do to- morrow?
33242What did he say''bout givin''Joe Carter sich a yarn?
33242What did he say?
33242What do you call home now the carpenter- shop has gone up in smoke?
33242What do you do to the company?
33242What do you mean by arson?
33242What do you mean by takin''up the case?
33242What do_ you_ want of Jip?
33242What does that''mount to? 33242 What is it to you, so long as we''re satisfied?"
33242What is it you''ve been gettin''up, Bill?
33242What kind of a blow- out do you mean?
33242What kind of a detective do you allow I am if I do n''t know that? 33242 What makes him sell it so cheap?"
33242What things?
33242What would be the use? 33242 What would you do if you should meet him right here this very minute?"
33242What you been doin''?
33242What''s he waitin''for?
33242What''s makin''you so foolish all of a sudden? 33242 What''s that?"
33242What''s the matter?
33242What''s the news''bout Seth?
33242What''s the reason you have n''t got as much of a one with me as you had with Seth? 33242 What''s the use of givin''anything away when folks are howlin''''bout your bein''so brave?
33242What''s the use of that?
33242What''s to be done with the kid who started the fire?
33242What? 33242 What?
33242What?
33242When are you willin''I should come?
33242Where are the medals to be presented?
33242Where are we goin''?
33242Where are we goin''?
33242Where are you counting on sleeping to- night?
33242Where do you count on starting the fire?
33242Where is the exhibition to be held?
33242Where was Dan an''Bill when they sent you to tell me?
33242Where were you when he set fire to the shed in Baxter''s lumber- yard?
33242Where you goin''?
33242Where''s Teddy?
33242Where''s the baby?
33242Where''s your father?
33242Who asked you to? 33242 Who did you think was in the alley?"
33242Who? 33242 Who?
33242Who?
33242Why could n''t I black boots at odd times?
33242Why did n''t he come back on the next train if everybody was ready to lend him money?
33242Why did n''t you stay there?
33242Why do n''t somebody send in an alarm?
33242Why do n''t you come with me?
33242Why do n''t you hunt him up?
33242Why do n''t you kind er loaf here till they have hitched up, an''perhaps we''ll get another chance to stay in the engine- house?
33242Why do n''t you leave this place for two or three days, and find some other quarters?
33242Why do n''t you tackle her?
33242Why not have it settled now?
33242Why not, if it comes cheap enough? 33242 Why not?
33242Why not?
33242Why not?
33242Why not?
33242Why not?
33242Why should n''t I be? 33242 Why, how did you know where he was?"
33242Why, how''d he raise the money?
33242Why, in the shed, of course, we----"Had you heard the prisoner threaten to set fire to the shed?
33242Why?
33242Will Ninety- four''s men be there?
33242Will he get out of the scrape?
33242Will that settle matters for me?
33242Will you come up to the Basin?
33242Will you wear your uniform?
33242Wo n''t, eh? 33242 Would you be willin''to send a feller to jail so''s you might get ahead in the business?"
33242Would you turn tinker, or tailor, or candlestick- maker, Jerry Walters, in order to avoid risking your life two or three times a day?
33242Yell for the perlice, will yer? 33242 Yes, I did, an''of course you can have me sent up the river for it; but what good will that do you?
33242Yes, sir; but I do n''t s''pose it can make much difference if I''m here a little before time,''cause then I''ll get more done, do n''t you see?
33242Yes, that I know, else I would n''t be standing on my feet this minute; but suppose you had missed your hold? 33242 Yes; but yet you did n''t think he''d do so much, eh?"
33242You ai n''t scared of him, are you?
33242You ai n''t thinking of getting him taken on here, are you,''Lish?
33242You can read, ca n''t you?
33242You do, eh? 33242 You''re goin''to lend me money after what I did?"
33242You''ve still got the fool idea in your mind that you''re going to be a fireman?
33242Your firebug has his chance this forenoon, eh?
33242After what seemed like a long time in waiting, Jip''s attorney asked the witness:"What is your name?"
33242Ai n''t gettin''discouraged so soon, are you?"
33242Ai n''t he got the nerve to be snoopin''''round here?
33242Amateur in trouble again?"
33242Anything gone wrong?"
33242Are you hearing what I''m saying?"
33242At that moment some one stepped to the side of the wagon and asked the driver:"Shall we send an ambulance?"
33242Been swelling all the morning till your head is so big that you need to borrow a new cap?"
33242Been to breakfast?"
33242But say, I do look pretty fine, eh?"
33242Ca n''t Ninety- four''s men stop it?"
33242Could n''t you find the mistake before then?"
33242Dan did not reply, but changed the subject of conversation by asking Bill:"What er you goin''to do''bout Sam Barney?"
33242Davis?"
33242Davis?"
33242Davis?"
33242Did n''t come up here reckonin''he or I''d got it, did you?"
33242Did n''t you hear the man call my name?
33242Do n''t you reckon all the firemen were boys once?"
33242Do n''t you reckon you''d stand the heat from a blaze better and longer than them who need to have it mighty nigh cold?"
33242Do n''t you s''pose the driver would kind- er help somehow?"
33242Do you know of any place where we can stop for a night or two till I''ve had time to look''round more?"
33242Do you know, lad, it''s a mighty dangerous thing to jump for a horse in that fashion?"
33242Do you mean that''s really you?"
33242Do you reckon I can show myself down- town now?"
33242Do you s''pose we''d lay still after he''s been an''done what he did?
33242Do you think I''d give you any fairy story about the place?
33242Do you want to consult with him?"
33242Goin''to run a bank, or keep a hotel, or do somethin''like that?"
33242Got a big job?"
33242Got anything on your mind?"
33242Has Mr. Davis turned out yet?"
33242Has the imitation detective caught him yet?"
33242Have n''t been getting into trouble with Josh, I hope?"
33242Have n''t been to breakfast yet, have you?"
33242Have n''t you got the right?
33242He has, eh?
33242He shall come into the Department, eh?"
33242He was----""Where''s them swell Brooklyn chums of yours?"
33242He''s always doin''that, an''what does he''mount to?"
33242How about getting first water now, Amateur?"
33242How did you get inside the lines?"
33242How long can I stay here?
33242How much have you seen of the building so far?"
33242How was Jip lookin''?"
33242How would it look for a fireman to be around blackin''boots?
33242I allow you''re counting on that suit of clothes?"
33242I do n''t reckon you''ve got any big pile of money left by this time, eh?"
33242I reckon you lost everything you owned, eh?"
33242I s''pose that''s what you call bein''a chum of mine?"
33242I thought you shipped that bloomin''detective over to Philadelphia?"
33242I wonder why he could n''t be yanked up for lyin''to Joe Carter when he borrowed that money?
33242I''m goin''to turn in, for what''s the use of payin''for a bed if you only get into it for the sake of sleepin''?
33242If I keep on sellin''papers an''do n''t try to do anything else, I''ll never get some other kind of a job, will I?
33242Instead of immediately acting upon his own suggestion Seth hesitated, and after a moment the driver asked:"What are you hanging in the wind now for?
33242Is Ben Dunton in the house?"
33242Is Bill over to the room?"
33242Is Dan all right?"
33242Is n''t the work here enough to satisfy you, but that you must needs look around for more?"
33242It seems to me you''ve knocked off work kind- er late to- night?"
33242Let me see, you live in the rear of Baxter''s carpenter shop, do n''t you?"
33242Look here, I''ve got to be up at seven o''clock to- morrow mornin'', an''why could n''t I shine your boots to- night?"
33242Neither Dan nor Bill spoke for several seconds, and then the former exclaimed with emphasis:"Say, but you''re gettin''there with both feet, eh?"
33242Now you all know I''m tryin''to work into the Department, an''what kind of show would I stand if there was a record like that against me?
33242Of course you''re countin''on seein''him off?"
33242S''posen you get another feller to do the shinin''an''I come''round evenin''s to tell you what''s been goin''on?
33242S''posen you got the shop this very minute, an''wanted to write a letter, or figger up how much anythin''cost?
33242Sam?"
33242Say, Seth, wo n''t you let me square it somehow?"
33242Say, ca n''t you come down by the post- office now?"
33242Say, goin''into the house now, or do you count on swellin''''round a spell first?"
33242Say, have you seen Sam Barney?"
33242Say, you know Dan made up his mind to own a store on Third Avenoo?"
33242See here, my lad, supposing you could practise here two or three hours a day, would it tire you out so that the regular duties might be slighted?"
33242Seth Bartlett?"
33242Seth made no attempt to read the account, and Dan cried impatiently as he held the sheet in front of him:"Why, do n''t you see what it says?
33242Seth made no attempt to take the missive until Mr. Fernald asked quite sharply:"Why do n''t you take it?
33242Still here, eh?"
33242Suppose I slap your face, how''ll it be then?"
33242Supposing you could drink that while it was boiling?
33242That''s a big step- up for a bootblack to make, an''I wonder how''Lish Davis will like it?"
33242The driver leaned over him once more, and asked almost tenderly:"Will I send you up to the house, Amateur?"
33242Then Seth said interrogatively:"Of course Teddy knew what he was talkin''''bout?"
33242Then Seth turned to the attorney, who was yet talking with Jip, and asked:"How''s he goin''to pay you for lookin''after him?"
33242Then he cried eagerly:"Say, you do n''t want to take another feller in, I s''pose?
33242Well, why do n''t you start?"
33242What about that firebug of yours?
33242What about the team?"
33242What did the lawyer say?"
33242What does he know''bout bein''a detective?
33242What else could he want of me?"
33242What else has come up?"
33242What kind of a fist would you make of it?"
33242What little game_ have_ you got?
33242What made you late in getting down- town?
33242What task have they set for you this morning?"
33242What''s all this talk I hear of your showing the members of the Department how to effect a rescue?"
33242What''s he standin''out there all by his lonesome for?"
33242What''s up?"
33242When did you have a bath last?"
33242When you goin''to leave here?"
33242Where did you get''em?"
33242Who''ll write to Joe Carter''bout it?"
33242Why did n''t you leave headquarters as he told you?"
33242Why not take a spin as far as the post- office?"
33242Would n''t most any feller who''s got as near into the Department as you have?"
33242You do n''t allow that when this''ere company takes it into their heads to fit out a kid they''re going to do it on second- hand rigging, do you?"
33242You do n''t allow we''re running an ambulance for such kids as you, eh?"
33242You goin''to do any more shinin''?"
33242got your eyes open again, eh?"
33242the driver asked gravely, and Seth replied with another question:"Would n''t you, sir?"
37171Ah, it_ is_ him, is it? 37171 And do you think Marmaduke would marry, knowing that his best friend lies ill and alone here?
37171And he made no preparations, I suppose, for departure, did he? 37171 And how the deuce come you to know that?"
37171And my wife?
37171And no means of raising any?
37171And what sort of a character do you consider this man to bear?
37171And what was the something that prevented you from killing me when I was asleep by the heron''s island?
37171And when did_ you_ see him last, Bradford?
37171And who_ was_ the watcher there last night, Oliver?
37171Are all the murders done and attempted set down here, Sir Massingberd?
37171But does not the fact of your only recognizing the victim, convince you of the unreality of the thing? 37171 But it does seem very extraordinary too,"said I,"does it not?
37171But why should you wish me dead, madam, who have never done you any harm?
37171De perditis nil nisi bonum?
37171Did you expect to find him here?
37171Did you not cry,''Mother, mother,''in your sleep, to make me think of my boy? 37171 Do n''t you know that a real lady should take her meals in peace without being interrupted, especially after she has been beaten?
37171Do n''t you see the gentleman is bowing? 37171 Do n''t you think we ought to advertise the baronet as missing, and offer a reward?"
37171Do you think he is gone to town, then, with any evil purpose?
37171Do you think that this Lost Sir Massingberd is alive or dead?
37171Had he any sum of money, or valuables of any kind about him, Gilmore?
37171Has anybody been about the Home Spinney this morning?
37171Have they found Sir Massingberd?
37171Have you any order from the deputy- governor?
37171Have you any reason to believe, keeper, that there were poachers in any part of the preserves last night?
37171He does not love you less because he is silent;was that a quotation culled from her own heart''s whisperings?
37171He went out after the poachers did he not?
37171Him? 37171 I can not carry these away with me, my good friend, I suppose?"
37171I should like to know when you saw Sir Massingberd last,observed the Bow Street runner quietly,"and under what circumstances?"
37171Is Sir Massingberd Heath alive, sir?
37171Is he DEAD?
37171Is it possible,cried my tutor,"that you can do this dreadful wrong at once to ancestors and descendant?
37171Is she better, happier in your custody?
37171Let us see, 951, is it not?
37171Mr. Arabel is an honest man and a good churchman,replied the rector positively;"and but for a little occasional excess----""A drunkard, eh?"
37171My dear Mrs. Myrtle, what is the matter?
37171My dear Peter,remarked my tutor, taking no notice of this wicked banter,"what do you say to coming with me?"
37171No bad news from Harley Street?
37171No harm? 37171 Nothing the matter with your master,"said I,"surely?
37171Now, I suppose you kept the numbers of those notes?
37171Oh, it is you, is it?
37171Oh, so you have heard of this nine hours''wonder, have you?
37171Oh, the dog was with him, was it?
37171Sir Massingberd must have had many enemies?
37171Supposing it said any word at all, Dick, what word was it most like?
37171That he''d do what?
37171That was it, was it? 37171 The most recent dates?"
37171The numbers of the notes are here, are they? 37171 Then you think he''s dead and gone, do you, sir?
37171There has been a gang of gipsies about the place this long time, has there not?
37171Was he armed in any way?
37171Was it anything like''Hel-- p, hel-- p?''
37171Well, Mr. Townshend, and what is your opinion?
37171Well, Mr. Townshend, what can I do for you?
37171What think you of that, Oliver Bradford?
37171What time was your master usually accustomed to return home from his rounds in the preserves?
37171What was it?
37171What, not go to see Marmaduke married?
37171When did I see Sir Massingberd Heath?
37171Which do you prefer,asked the Frenchman who acted as his friend upon the occasion--"the pistol or the sword?"
37171Why at me?
37171Why do n''t you introduce me, Rachel?
37171You do n''t mean to say,said I,"that anything has happened to Sir Massingberd?"
37171You know him, do you, sir?
37171You quarrelled, did you?
37171You will fight, will you? 37171 You''ve what?"
37171Your master had made no sort of preparation, so far as you know, for his own departure anywhere?
37171*****"And what brings you good people up to town?"
3717182977--that''s one, is n''t it?"
37171Ai n''t he a parson, postboy?
37171Are there any more?"
37171But how had he come thither, who never moved anywhere out of doors, except with Sir Massingberd or Gilmore?
37171Come here, wo n''t yer?"
37171Disuse is sister to Abuse, but still how comes it that mere absence should beget, as it always does, such absolute Ruin?
37171Do you dare to defy God and Man alike?"
37171Does a farmer of the name of Arabel happen to reside in or near your parish?"
37171Does he read nothing save Continuance of Fine and Frosty Weather?
37171Even if they possessed it, what could they have done but have slain him?
37171Every Heath wears one of them; then why not you, young Marmaduke?"
37171Have you brought me any verbal message from my charming uncle, or are you only his deputy- postman?
37171Have you no mercy even for kith and kin?
37171He has never done so before, has he?"
37171He might have been such another as yourself-- with the same-- Why, what''s the matter with your forehead?
37171How can a man offer heart and hand to a woman whom he does not feel certain that he can protect?
37171I asked you who you''d got inside there?
37171I could see, in spite of his light way, that he was curious to have this interrogation answered; but what was I to say?
37171If you thought it was a human voice, what do you think it said?"
37171Is the game still afoot, or is it only dead game-- quarry?"
37171Might it not have hidden there, and been imprisoned alive in righteous retribution, by the very spring which had ministered to hate and cruelty?
37171Mr. Long started up with a"What''s that?"
37171Now, am I a man, think you, to sit down with my hands before me, and submit to such a state of things as this?"
37171Peter, did you not write them down for me?"
37171Pray, tell me what shall I do?"
37171She does n''t know it, does she?
37171She looked suspiciously round the room, and laying her finger on her lip, observed beneath her breath:"You are not Stanley Carew, are you?
37171That was the very place where I used to meet my love-- let me see, how many years ago?"
37171Then my tutor suddenly started up, and exclaimed, with animation,"Peter, will you go with me to London?
37171There are men enough outside the gates to do that, without suspending the work that is going on here, and why should we lose time?"
37171Took no clothes with him?"
37171Was it possible that he had perished in endeavouring to obey his master''s cry for aid?
37171What have you done with your horseshoe?
37171What not to have taken the title from my boy?
37171Where did you find it, eh, boy?"
37171Who?"
37171Why do you bring this to me?"
37171Why, we have not had ravens here since Sir Wentworth came to his awful end in London; there was a mystery about that too, was n''t there, sir?
37171Why, what is this, Gilmore?
37171Why, where''s your whip?"
37171You grant that, do you?
37171You will be godfather, dear Peter, will you not?
37171_ How_ is he--_how_ is he?"
37171and if slain, where have they put him to?"
37171cried the ancient keeper;"you''ve humoured_ me_, you oily knave, have you?
37171repeated I;"how?
37171repeated once, twice, thrice, or was it the wintry wind clanging and grinding the naked branches of the Spinney?
37171was?
37171what is this?"
37171what was that sound that froze the current of my blood, and set my heart beating and fluttering like the wings of a prisoned bird against its cage?
37171where?"
37171which rang in my ears a while ago, as I stood in the Stone Garden, and which rings, through half a century, in them now?
35277Alice,he said at last,"do you make a point of locking your bedroom door at night?"
35277Am I to consider that she is safe with him?
35277Am I to understand that I am not to acquaint Miss Decie or my sister with your decision?
35277And did he confess?
35277And do you happen to have anything else to tell me about him?
35277And does my happiness count for nothing?
35277And how far may that be from here?
35277And my noble girl refused to give me up?
35277And pray what am I going to do with myself while you are away?
35277And pray what does Alice say?
35277And that blessing?
35277And then?
35277And what decision have you come to?
35277And what did he say to that?
35277And what kind of a street is it?
35277And what may he have been like, sir?
35277And why not?
35277And with what result?
35277And you are my mother''s brother?
35277And you will let me know how you succeed?
35277And you will not give me your reasons for taking this extraordinary step?
35277And you?
35277Are you making your way there?
35277Are you quite sure you_ do_ wish it?
35277At what number shall I pull up?
35277Because you have been unsuccessful so far, you are surely not going to give it up altogether?
35277Bless my soul, how many people can there be in London?
35277But do n''t you hear me? 35277 But do you not see how I am situated?
35277But how are we going to get him to the Dower House?
35277But how is it your prisoner is here, and not at the police station?
35277But if he had been our mother''s brother, why did he entertain such a deadly hatred for our father?
35277But there, who could help doing so?
35277But what brings you back to- day, Jim?
35277But what makes you say this to- night?
35277But whatever shall I do?
35277But why did you run away if you were innocent?
35277But, my dear Jim, what could Terence be doing here, so many thousand miles from our old home?
35277Camped on the river and coming here?
35277Can such a thing be possible?
35277Come, come, there''s no such hurry: what''s he done that you should be so anxious to get hold of him?
35277Did she give you any reason for it?
35277Did you see that man who was so nearly knocked down by a cab a few minutes ago?
35277Did you see which way that fellow went we so nearly knocked down?
35277Do n''t they say, sir, as how another gentleman was murdered in the same way in this house?
35277Do you feel well enough to tell what has taken place, dear?
35277Do you mean that you refuse me permission to see her or to speak with her?
35277Do you mean to say that your father never told you after all?
35277Do you mean to tell me that Mr. Bursfield is dead?
35277Do you want to catch it?
35277Father,he began,"why wo n''t you let me share your trouble with you?
35277For God''s sake, tell me what it means?
35277For my mother''s sake, is there anything I can do for you?
35277Great Medlum Street?
35277Has Alice gone mad, or has the Black Dwarf been trying to see how untidy he can make the place? 35277 Has anything happened, Jim?"
35277Has he been with you any length of time?
35277Have you heard anything yet from the police regarding Murbridge?
35277Have you made any discovery concerning Murbridge?
35277Have you seen father?
35277He is not a member of your own family, then?
35277He wants work, I suppose?
35277Helen, my dear girl,she cried,"what does this mean?"
35277Helen,he said at last,"is it possible for you to be my wife in a fortnight''s time?"
35277How are we to carry him?
35277How much further is it to the Head Station?
35277How much of my conversation with that man did you overhear?
35277I gather that it is rather an unusual case?
35277I gather you mean when you say that you are both going away that I am not to accompany you?
35277I hope your interview with Mr. Bursfield was satisfactory?
35277I mean, what sort of character does it bear?
35277I presume you heard nothing suspicious during the night?
35277I saw the maid coming out just as I left the dining- room, and she would not be likely to leave it----"To leave it in an untidy state?
35277I see,said the medico,"and in that case I presume that you would wish to see him alone?"
35277I wonder if it could have been the same man?
35277I wonder who it is from?
35277I wonder who this Murbridge can be?
35277Indeed? 35277 Is all London gone mad?
35277Is he dead, do you think, Terence?
35277Is it possible you have n''t heard, Terence?
35277Is it quite impossible for you to tell me the reason of it all?
35277Is n''t he in the house?
35277Is there any sort of doubt in your mind as to the cause of his death?
35277It is from Fairlight-- my old solicitor in England, you remember him-- and what do you think he tells me?
35277James, what is the meaning of this?
35277Jim,she whispered,"Oh Jim, dear, you do n''t mean it, do you?"
35277Left your luxurious mansion to visit Upper Bellington Street? 35277 Lock my bedroom door at night?"
35277Look here, sir,he whispered,"what''s this?
35277Lor, Mrs. Ryan, you do n''t mean to say that you think it was the ghost that killed the poor master?
35277McCalmont?
35277My poor girl,he cried,"what has he done to you?"
35277Never mind, dear, you know where your real friends are, do n''t you?
35277Now I wonder where he came from?
35277Now the first question to be decided,he said, when they were in the street,"is what is best for us to do?
35277Oh, Jim dear, what do you think will become of me?
35277Oh, Jim,she answered,"surely such a thing can not be possible?"
35277Quite so; and the ruins a mile or two back, what are they called?
35277Remember it?
35277Richard Murbridge?
35277She is,Jim replied, and then endeavouring to speak unconcernedly, he added--"Has Mr. Bursfield sent you to find her?"
35277So they sent for you after all?
35277Surely you do n''t mean to say, Alice,he stammered,"that you are willing to forgive the man who so cruelly killed our father?"
35277The fellow was associated with him in business at some time or another, I suppose?
35277Then if it was n''t he as did it,said Terence,"who could it have been?"
35277Then what are we to do, sir?
35277Then what will you do?
35277Then, sir, whom do you suspect?
35277They even took that trouble?
35277To what may I attribute the honour of this visit?
35277Turned you out of the house?
35277Well, Mr. Robins,said Jim, when they were alone together,"what have you discovered?"
35277Well, Terence,he said, when the latter made his appearance,"any sign of the Black Dwarf during my absence?"
35277Well, first and foremost,said Jim,"I want to know how you became aware that the man in question hailed from Childerbridge?
35277Well, my lad, what is it?
35277Well, sir,asked the latter,"did he confess?"
35277What about him?
35277What are those two circumstances?
35277What are you doing here, my lad?
35277What are you thinking of, Jim?
35277What can I do for you, sir?
35277What can I do for you?
35277What can not be?
35277What did he say to you?
35277What do you mean to do?
35277What does it mean, Wilkins?
35277What does she think about it herself?
35277What has brought you here bareheaded at this time of night?
35277What have you been doing?
35277What have you to tell me? 35277 What is it you want with my father?"
35277What is it, or who is it, you suspect?
35277What is it?
35277What is that?
35277What is that?
35277What is the matter with him?
35277What is the matter with him?
35277What is your name?
35277What is your proposal?
35277What of him?
35277What on earth does this mean, Terence?
35277What on earth is the matter, man?
35277What''s the matter?
35277What''s to be done, Terence?--what''s to be done?
35277What''s up?
35277What?
35277Who is responsible for the locking up at night?
35277Who is this, father?
35277Whose brother did you say?
35277Why did he not say where he was going?
35277Why did n''t my poor father tell me this before? 35277 Why did you not let me interview that man?"
35277Why, what is the matter now?
35277Why, what on earth is the matter?
35277Wilkins,he said,"do you remember the night when you thought you saw the Black Dwarf on the landing?"
35277Will it be possible for me to see him, do you think?
35277Will it satisfy you if I give you my promise that, should he become very bad, I will at once send for you?
35277Will you take me to him?
35277Witnessed what?
35277Wo n''t you let me put him in the cart and drive you both home?
35277Would it do for me to go and see her, do you think?
35277You are not going to abandon the case, I hope?
35277You are perfectly sure that he died of heart disease?
35277You are quite certain that it is our man?
35277You are quite sure that nothing I can say or do will induce you to alter your decision?
35277You dare to turn me out of your house?
35277You do believe that I love you, do n''t you, Jim?
35277You do n''t mean that, sir?
35277You do n''t mean to say that he is in England?
35277You do not mean that you are going to forbid it?
35277You forbid me to speak to your son and daughter, do you?
35277You know him then?
35277You know my name, then?
35277You mean about the murder, I suppose?
35277You mean, I suppose, that he will not live?
35277You received my letter?
35277You still think that it was I who committed the murder, then?
35277You think so, do you? 35277 You will not mind being left alone for one evening, will you, Alice?"
35277You will, of course, be able to identify him?
35277You''re not a believer in ghosts, I suppose?
35277A pretty picture of gratitude, is it not?
35277And have n''t I got good cause to remember it?
35277And he answered to the description given you?"
35277And then he went on to tell her of his dreams, winding up with this question--"I wonder whether you will like Australia?"
35277As he went out of the door he asked my little boy, Tommy, wot was playing on the pavement, how far it was to Great Medlum Street?
35277At what time was Miss Alice''s room made tidy?"
35277Before I do so, however, may I put one or two questions to you?"
35277But how are we to prove that he got into the house?
35277But there, sir, p''raps you ai n''t a- got nothing to do with them?"
35277But there, what am I talking about?
35277But, surely, knowing what you do, you are not going to be foolish enough to believe that?"
35277By Jove, what''s that?"
35277CHAPTER XIII"What''s that you say?"
35277Could any young woman say more to her lover than that?
35277D''ye think I''ve got nothing better to do than to be trapesing round talkin''about what do n''t concern me?
35277Did I know where he had gone?
35277Did I not tell you that one of the former owners was found dead in bed, having met his fate in identically the same manner as your father did?
35277Did he appear to be in any trouble?
35277Did you find that wretched man?"
35277Did you meet the mail?"
35277Do you know where he is staying?"
35277Do you know whether your father was in the habit of locking his door at night?"
35277Do you remember the man we saw at Mudrapilla in the Five Mile Paddock, the night before we left?
35277Do you take my meaning, sir?"
35277Do you think his leg is broken?"
35277Do you think it is what our father, with his noble nature, would have wished?"
35277Does not this appear significant to you?
35277Fate again, I suppose?
35277Had I seen the man?
35277Had he left anything undone, or had he made any mistake?
35277Have you any reason to suppose that your father had an enemy?"
35277He did n''t happen to tell you his name, I suppose?"
35277How can I convince you?
35277How could it be otherwise when he knows that your happiness is at stake?"
35277I hope he has not been making you unhappy?"
35277I hope your father is well, sir?"
35277I propose, therefore, that we wait until, say, the end of six months, and then make another appeal to your guardian?
35277I put it to you, sir, if he had n''t been there, would that label have been on the bag?"
35277I shall see you afterwards, I presume?"
35277I suppose there is no further news of him this morning?"
35277I suppose you know that I_ am_ dying?"
35277I trust you like Childerbridge?"
35277I want you to tell me how long you think my father has been dead?"
35277I wonder whether I should be right if I hazarded a guess that Mr. Bursfield had been trying again to force you into giving me up?
35277I wonder who it can be?
35277If he is not the man, then where are we to look for the real murderer?"
35277In that case, why the boots, and where did the blood come from?"
35277Is Miss Helen with you?"
35277Is that not so?"
35277Is that the case, Helen?"
35277Is there anything wrong?"
35277Is this so?''
35277May I trouble you for the name of the eating- house to which Murbridge proceeded on leaving Paddington?"
35277Mr. Bursfield, if my father were not murdered, how did he meet his death?"
35277Must you be going?
35277My real name is Richard McCalmont, though you would n''t think it to look at me, would you?
35277Oh, sir, what does it all mean?"
35277On what day does the coach pass, going South?"
35277Standerton?"
35277Standerton?"
35277Surely those facts are black enough to convict any man?"
35277Surely we should be able to find some way of ridding ourselves of this man?"
35277That was how I got my hold upon your father, do n''t you see?
35277The vessel does not touch at any port between, I suppose?"
35277Then Alice added:"Surely not?
35277Then he drew a step nearer, and, looking up at Jim, asked in a low voice:"Have you forgotten what I said to you concerning the mystery of the house?
35277Then, turning to Alice, he added,"What can have happened?"
35277There is nothing wrong, I hope?"
35277There was a pause for a few moments, then Helen said:--"What do you think about it, Jim?"
35277Think for a moment, what have I to gain or lose by saying such a thing?
35277Wanted to know if I knew where Mr. Melbrook pawned his clothes?
35277Was it possible that an amateur could really believe himself to be capable of succeeding where the astute professionals of Scotland Yard had failed?
35277What about it, sir?"
35277What could be the secret between them?
35277What do you propose doing?"
35277What do you say?
35277What do you think?"
35277What have they to say about him at the inn?"
35277What if in a sudden fit of fury he should drive her from his house?
35277What if the madman should wreak his vengeance upon her?
35277What is best to be done, do you think?"
35277What is it?"
35277What is it?"
35277What right had such a man to address his father by his Christian name?
35277What was he like?
35277What will you do now, Jim?"
35277What would you think of that?"
35277What''s that?"
35277What''s the world coming to, I should like to know?"
35277When she was able to speak, she looked wildly about her, and asked if"_ it was gone_?"
35277Where is he, Wilkins?"
35277Who can have done it?"
35277Who is the man, father?"
35277Why should I?"
35277Why should we change it?"
35277Why should you object to me in this way?
35277Will you agree, my sister?"
35277Will you be good enough to step this way?"
35277Will you believe me now?"
35277Will you give my kind regards to your sister?
35277Will you wait for Mr. Bursfield''s death before you become my wife, or will you court his displeasure and trust yourself to me?"
35277Would it not, therefore, seem like an act of the basest ingratitude to leave him desolate, merely to promote my own happiness?"
35277You have not cross- questioned the domestics upon the subject, I suppose?"
35277You informed the police, did you not, that you had no knowledge as to where he went after he left your shop?"
35277You know how truly I love you?"
35277You must have noticed that he has been very strange of late?"
35277You remember that I went up to the house and had an interview with your father?
35277You wish to see him, do you not?"
35277You''ve got a head on your shoulders-- do you remember who it was that found out who stole those sheep from Coobalah Out Station?
35277cried Jim,"who on earth can it be at this time of the night?"
35277what am I thinking about?
35277what on earth does this mean?"
33230Ai n''t it so?
33230And now? 33230 And what about Treving?"
33230And you guessed Randall did n''t know about the murder when you caught him?
33230And you-- will you ever speak?
33230Are you one of Mr. Alden''s servants?
33230Are you still anxious to try that plan of yours after what you''ve seen?
33230Are you willing, John?
33230At any rate that would be better for his memory, would n''t it? 33230 Because Nora gave you this number?"
33230But why not lights, Jim?
33230But why,Nora asked,"should McDonald''s daughter cry through the house in this fashion?
33230But will Dr. Randall thank you for interfering?
33230But you heard no shot?
33230But you wo n''t alarm her with this?
33230But, Jim,Nora asked,"how did you know that man had been a witness?
33230Could they have mistaken him for you?
33230Could you drive me to Mr. Andrew Alden''s place?
33230Did he?
33230Did n''t you fall down on it last time?
33230Did n''t you follow her to the door? 33230 Did the woman make a fight?"
33230Did you ever notice-- was he in the habit of wearing a flower in his button- hole?
33230Did you hear anything?
33230Did you notice me fingering this just now?
33230Do n''t you see it, Nora?
33230Do n''t you see? 33230 Do you want to kill that woman?"
33230Does it fit, Jim?
33230Eh? 33230 Eh?
33230Eh? 33230 From your father?"
33230Had you planned anything important for to- night?
33230Has he a record?
33230Have n''t you any eyes?
33230Have you ever seen his wife, Jim?
33230How are you working, Nora? 33230 How are your detectives outside going to help us in here?"
33230How could I tell? 33230 How could you control her with a thing like that in her hands?"
33230How did you come? 33230 How did you have the nerve to drive your limousine to the place last night?"
33230How did you know you''d find this money on the sidewalk?
33230How did you learn about the signal?
33230How do you expect to throw sand in the eyes of that outfit?
33230How long have you been loafing in that corner?
33230How long, Jim?
33230How long?
33230How many got out of it? 33230 How much do you love your life?"
33230How much of a chance?
33230How much?
33230How often have I told you, Papa Marlowe, to keep your fat mouth shut?
33230How were you so sure?
33230How would you like a taxi- ride to Elmford?
33230I came back-- Who are you? 33230 I do n''t understand,"he said,"but it''s evident we are caught here, and that fire has been fixed-- a signal?"
33230I''ll take all the chances and use it, but at a sound from you-- You understand? 33230 If you want to run me down,"he shouted,"why not give me a chance to make my will?
33230Is n''t it enough? 33230 Is n''t that proof, Jim, that he knows he has n''t a chance?"
33230Is that inconstancy to him? 33230 Is that the front door?"
33230Is the safe here? 33230 Is there any hope for her?"
33230Jim,she breathed,"you''re going to take this case?"
33230Maybe you''re a reporter or a cop? 33230 Much loss?"
33230No alarms?
33230No doubt about your having heard of our friend Hennion?
33230No talk- ee, eh? 33230 Nothing been disturbed?"
33230Now who told you there was a door through my cellar?
33230Now you would n''t think we''d ever have got in the war, would you? 33230 One of those Bellevue cases?
33230Plenty of time, is n''t there?
33230Scared, George?
33230Seeing ghosts, George?
33230She''s quieter now? 33230 So that''s why?"
33230So-- murderous?
33230Still those men in the woods?
33230The chink?
33230The point is, Simmons,the leader said,"can you handle the stuff with a degree of safety after you have read the formula?
33230The windows,Garth said,"or the fireplace?"
33230Then how can I get to a front window?
33230Then what you mean coming through my cellar? 33230 Then where is she now?"
33230Then why not tell all this to Freddy Treving?
33230Then why suspect your visitor of being a ghost?
33230Then you agree?
33230Then you''re going out there to- night?
33230Then,Garth said,"you heard no shot?"
33230There''s no doubt then,Garth asked,"that he killed Treving?"
33230This rot about the woods and the spirits of dead soldiers?
33230To be caught in the yard?
33230Treving said that?
33230Unbearable?
33230Violence?
33230Was he drunk?
33230Was it near?
33230Well?
33230Well?
33230Were you thinking of paying your party call to- night? 33230 Wh- what for?"
33230Wh-- what do you mean?
33230Wh-- what the devil do you mean?
33230What are one or two here?
33230What are you doing here, Nora?
33230What are you doing here? 33230 What are you doing here?"
33230What are you doing here?
33230What are you doing, father?
33230What are you driving at, Ed? 33230 What are you driving at?"
33230What are you going to do, Garth?
33230What are you going to do, Slim?
33230What are you going to do?
33230What are you going to do?
33230What are you talking about? 33230 What are you up to?
33230What are you working on, Jim? 33230 What can I do, Garth?"
33230What can he want at this time of night?
33230What did you come down for this morning anyway? 33230 What did you hear?
33230What difference does that make? 33230 What do I know about it?"
33230What do you expect, when you insinuate--"What have I insinuated, provided your conscience''s clear?
33230What do you mean by that?
33230What do you mean? 33230 What do you mean?"
33230What do you mean?
33230What do you want?
33230What does Manford want?
33230What does this mean?
33230What is it?
33230What is it?
33230What now?
33230What you talking about, Nora? 33230 What''s all this mystery?"
33230What''s in that bottle, Slim?
33230What''s in that bundle you''re carrying?
33230What''s on your mind, Nora?
33230What''s that for?
33230What''s that you''re saying? 33230 What''s that?"
33230What''s that?
33230What''s that?
33230What''s that?
33230What''s the job?
33230What''s the matter out here? 33230 What''s the matter with you?
33230What''s the matter with you? 33230 What''s the matter?
33230What''s up, Ed?
33230What''s wrong here?
33230What''s wrong, Simmons?
33230What? 33230 When did you last see McDonald''s daughter?"
33230When do you think we''ll be able to question her?
33230When,Garth asked eagerly,"will he be able to talk?"
33230Where are all the servants?
33230Where are you going, Jim?
33230Where are you going?
33230Where were you going, Garth?
33230Where''s Garth?
33230Where''s his daughter? 33230 Where,"Garth asked,"does Simmons change cars?"
33230Where? 33230 Where?"
33230Which direction did they take?
33230Who are you?
33230Who called? 33230 Who could it be but this man that hides his face?
33230Who is it? 33230 Who is that?
33230Who is that? 33230 Who the devil are you?"
33230Who was in the house besides yourself and Mrs. Taylor''s mother?
33230Who''s running this office?
33230Who''s that?
33230Who''s the fashion- plate that left it?
33230Whole force at your heels, Nora?
33230Why did n''t you warn the boys to keep an eye on him?
33230Why did the servants quit?
33230Why did you come? 33230 Why did you light it?"
33230Why do n''t you come in?
33230Why do you connect a ghost with anarchists?
33230Why do you look away, Jim?
33230Why does n''t he ring?
33230Why is n''t it answered? 33230 Why not send out a call for the patrol?
33230Why the devil does n''t Nora answer? 33230 Why,"Nora asked,"do n''t you tell us what the case is?"
33230Why,he asked himself,"wo n''t these people talk?
33230Why,she asked,"would n''t you let Jim tell me the man''s name?"
33230Why? 33230 Why?
33230Why?
33230Will it hurt? 33230 Wo n''t you tell me?
33230You could n''t persuade him to send his wife away?
33230You did n''t guess, Jim? 33230 You do n''t think,"he muttered,"that I was fool enough to follow that trail without covering myself?"
33230You have n''t had the bell disconnected, Nora? 33230 You have n''t seen?"
33230You heard that, Nora?
33230You heard-- that?
33230You killed Taylor so you might marry his wife?
33230You knew him, too?
33230You know,he said,"that there are many men near here-- that they can trap us in this house?"
33230You mean Kridel?
33230You mean,Garth asked,"that Nora had all this planned from the very beginning?"
33230You mean,he whispered,"that he''s-- gone?"
33230You promise, Jim?
33230You think this ghost is connected with a dangerous conspiracy against you?
33230You very nearly took mine, Jim, so are n''t we quits?
33230You will take care of him?
33230You would n''t give me away, would you? 33230 You''d swear to let Jim go at the border?"
33230You''ll come quietly?
33230You''ll come with me alone?
33230You''ll forgive our welcome? 33230 You''ll try to trail us, too?"
33230You''re Mrs. Hanson''s chauffeur?
33230You''re sure there''s some of the stuff in the safe with the formula? 33230 You''re sure?"
33230You''ve a doctor?
33230You''ve heard of that fellow without a face?
33230You, Garth? 33230 Alden?
33230Alsop?"
33230Am I as sick as that?"
33230And after all was n''t this an ideal rendezvous?
33230And he lay right there, did n''t he, George, between you and the safe?
33230And now it works night and day?"
33230And why did n''t he move around?"
33230And you''ll try to understand?
33230Any dope on the gun?"
33230Any word of the doctor?"
33230Are we going to spend the rest of the night on this boat?
33230Are you going to get away with it?
33230Are you hurt?"
33230Are you ready, or do you prefer the cell and your picture in the morning papers?"
33230Are you willing to jump into a chase blindly that way?
33230As Garth stepped towards the door Mrs. Taylor cried out again:"Is it safe?"
33230Awful burns?"
33230Because you think the old lady''s crazy, and she frightens you?
33230Besides, if he did n''t want to give her away, what business was it of mine?
33230But do n''t you suppose Slim and George would gamble I''ll never let them out of this town?
33230But why should I want to see him stabbed?"
33230But you-- you''re not afraid?"
33230Ca n''t we turn on the lights?"
33230Ca n''t you?"
33230Can you find your way?"
33230Could Nora be on the same errand as himself, working for her father?
33230Could he devise any useful defence against Slim''s imagination, abnormally clever and inscrutable; or against such naked brutality as George''s?
33230Could he escape?
33230Could n''t you keep out of trouble once you were there?"
33230Could she act to that extent with her father?
33230Could such passionate resistance to circumstance perish utterly?
33230Could the violent will behind it accept silence and pass with the body into nothingness?
33230Could this be another police trick?
33230Crying, Nora?
33230Did any of the responsibility rest with this room?
33230Did n''t you see where she went?"
33230Did she fancy herself any more than a superior servant?
33230Did you and he know about old Mrs. Hanson?
33230Did you expect him here to- night while I struggled in town?"
33230Did you hear anything?"
33230Do n''t you feel anything strange?
33230Do n''t you get an impression of great suffering, Jim?"
33230Do n''t you see?
33230Do n''t you suppose those devils know?
33230Do you know, Garth, that Slim and George are loose on the town?"
33230Do you see that stone?
33230Do you want a holiday?
33230Does anybody know who croaked Kridel?
33230Does that satisfy you?"
33230Eh?"
33230Eh?"
33230Eh?"
33230Expected to trip me, did n''t you?
33230Garth?"
33230Garth?"
33230Got it at the wedding, did n''t you?"
33230Had his peril finally shown her heart the truth?
33230Had n''t thought of that, eh?
33230Had she formed for Mr. Taylor any silly attachment?"
33230Had she, in fact, been acting in the cellar?
33230Had the loneliness imposed upon her intelligence such a repulsive credulity?
33230Hanson?"
33230Has anybody burned in the chair for that?
33230Have you any arrangement with him for to- night?"
33230Have you had threatening letters about your contracts?"
33230Have you noticed the conservatory door?"
33230He shouted into the transmitter:"Are you all dead out there?
33230He shouted:"Why did you lie when I asked you who was in the house at the time of the murder?"
33230He''d like the fellow that swung the Hennion job, but if you turned it down cold I could n''t help it, could I?"
33230Her mind?"
33230How can I tell?
33230How can anybody?"
33230How could he continue to face such moments?
33230How did you get in?
33230How did you happen to be here?
33230How many mugs have you brought in since I saw you last?
33230How pronounced was its significance?
33230How would he find her?
33230How?"
33230I called out instinctively,''Who''s there?''
33230I can trust you?
33230If he was n''t guilty, why had he hidden all night and day?
33230If it is, what do we gain by making a show of him?
33230If there had been letters do you think she would have destroyed them one by one?
33230Impulsively he called out:"Who''s that?"
33230Is n''t she always right, Garth?"
33230It wo n''t be necessary?"
33230Maybe you''ll come to see me just the same when you get back?"
33230Of what abnormal diligence could such an eccentricity be an echo?
33230Of what?"
33230Once she whispered:"Have n''t you a feeling there is some one here who laughs at us?"
33230Point is, are you coming peaceably, or will I have to wake up a patrolman to get a wagon?"
33230Randall?"
33230Shall I ring for John?"
33230Shall I tell him to get you something-- a whiskey and soda?"
33230Silly, was n''t it?
33230Suppose you got clear-- across the border-- into Canada?
33230Sure you have n''t anything to tell me about you and him?
33230That cop was killed here, was n''t he?"
33230That sounds rather silly, does n''t it?
33230The furnaces?
33230The yard is n''t the only getaway?"
33230Then Nora would get the bomb, but where was the real veiled woman?
33230Then who prowled about the unlighted house and hesitated in the vicinity of her door?
33230Think if I wanted to do anything wrong I''d let you find me out?"
33230To warn the others?"
33230Treving?"
33230Understand?
33230Was it a guess?"
33230Was she abroad in these woods?
33230Was she as senile as she appeared, or had she tried to throw sand in his eyes?
33230Was that merely coincidence?
33230Was the door open to the next room where she had struggled and died?
33230Was there an arrangement with that beast?
33230Was there an arrangement?
33230Wear a flower?
33230Well?
33230West?"
33230What about my wife?"
33230What about my wife?"
33230What about your wife then?
33230What am I to say?"
33230What are you all afraid of?"
33230What could be the explanation of this trail of money, left with a scrupulous care on New York pavements?
33230What did Mr. Alden tell you?"
33230What did they do?"
33230What do they expect me to find in this house?"
33230What do you know?"
33230What do you mean?"
33230What do you think of that?"
33230What do you want of me?"
33230What had happened to her when she had stepped into the dusty hall?
33230What had she wanted to say?
33230What is it?
33230What is it?"
33230What kept you?"
33230What must an ace mean to that lot, eh?
33230What object, probably similar, had occasioned the search?
33230What point could there be in this abnormal masquerade?
33230What then?
33230What unaccountable intuition had warned her away?
33230What was the connection of the death that had struck there twice?
33230What was the share of the shrouded army in the forest?
33230What were you thinking of, man?
33230What will you do with it?"
33230What would such conscienceless men do to her if they found at the last moment she was responsible for their hopeless predicament?
33230What you want in that empty cellar?"
33230What''ll they do at the start?"
33230What''s all this row, Arnold?"
33230What''s happened?"
33230What''s on your mind?
33230What''s that noise?
33230What''s the matter with the pigtail?"
33230What''s the matter with the place?"
33230What''s the matter with you?"
33230What''s the matter?
33230What''s the matter?
33230What''s the matter?"
33230What''s up?"
33230What, Garth questioned, had been left with such care on the sidewalk in front of the corner house?
33230What-- what happened at the club?"
33230What_ are_ you up against, Mr. Garth?
33230When did they take Mrs. Randall away?"
33230When was it?"
33230When will he be able to talk straight?"
33230Where are you going?"
33230Where was Nora now?
33230Where was the one who had opened and for whom his knife was eager?
33230Where will we be if anything like that''s pulled again?"
33230Where would he find Nora?
33230Where''s my hat?
33230Where''s my wife?
33230Where''s the telephone?"
33230Where''s your daughter now?"
33230Who do you suppose I mean?
33230Who else should there be?
33230Who else?"
33230Who pays the bill?"
33230Who''d want to live here?"
33230Who''s rented the warehouse?
33230Who?"
33230Why are you here?"
33230Why are you so late?"
33230Why did my servants swear they had seen?
33230Why did n''t Mrs. Taylor see her face?"
33230Why did you bring him in at all?"
33230Why did you come?"
33230Why did you light that fire?"
33230Why do n''t they come?"
33230Why do you glare at me like that?
33230Why do you speak to my mother like this?
33230Why does n''t he answer?"
33230Why not show him the big event, Simmons?"
33230Why not, indeed, satisfy her curiosity now?
33230Why then had the young man left five dollars around the corner?
33230Will this help then?"
33230Will you give up the combination quietly?"
33230Wo n''t you promise?
33230Wo n''t you tell me where you''re going?"
33230Would he be in time to prevent a crime of such proportions, of such disquieting possibilities?
33230Would he, however, he asked himself, be able to go the whole way?
33230Yet what difference did it make?
33230You did n''t hear about his yacht?"
33230You heard him come up, and after what Mr. Alsop said-- where is he?
33230You mean to tell me McDonald has a daughter, and she was in the house last night?"
33230You saw that?"
33230You see there was no chance after the murder, and do n''t women cling to such things?"
33230You suspect this woman?"
33230You''ll try to understand?
33230You''re on?"
33230Your mother?
28229''Cause why? 28229 A what?"
28229A-- a what?
28229A_ man_?
28229Against yourself? 28229 Ai n''t she a woman?"
28229Ai n''t we here? 28229 Ai n''t you going up to his room?"
28229Ai n''t you got any brains, Ed Higgins? 28229 Ain''d that so, Susie?"
28229Alf, if you happen to see Mr. Downs, the Methodist preacher, and Justice Robb, bring''em here right away, will you?
28229An''he never brought it back?
28229And Julie is up in the attic?
28229And do you know what she did with her ill- gotten gains?
28229And it is about five miles as the crow flies from Tinkletown, eh?
28229And then what?
28229Are they goin''to hold the inquest as soon as all this?
28229Are you actually the great Anderson Crow? 28229 Are you afraid to be left alone with that pore, helpless little woman?"
28229Are you going to stop them?
28229Are you listening?
28229Are you referring to your estimable dad?
28229Aw, what''s the use?
28229Beats all how he hangs on, do n''t it? 28229 Beats all, do n''t it, Sue, what a poet''ll do when he''s tryin''to raise a moustache?"
28229But anything''s better''n starvin'', ai n''t it?
28229But it ai n''t what the_ girls_ would like, it is?
28229But what''ll I tell the gang over there if they ask me what you''re doin''about the case?
28229But where are you goin''to get the weenywurst, Alf?
28229But would n''t poisoning be the surer and quicker way? 28229 But you got a right to speak to her, ai n''t you?
28229But-- but ai n''t you afraid to live with him?
28229But-- how am I to get her home? 28229 Ca n''t you buy her off?"
28229Ca n''t you make it out?
28229Ca n''t you see it''s me?
28229Ca n''t you see there ai n''t room enough to turn around in this road?
28229Can we get a goot man for dot amoundt?
28229Can you beat it?
28229Can you beat it?
28229D''you hear that?
28229Did anybody ketch the number of that car?
28229Did he appear to have anything on his mind? 28229 Did he have a rope around his neck?"
28229Did he look pale or upset- like?
28229Did my daughter Elfaretta ask you to come here and interfere with my private affairs, Anderson Crow?
28229Did n''t I tell you there was two of''em?
28229Did n''t I tell you to turn around, Eva?
28229Did n''t I tell you yesterday I''d run you in if I caught you drunk in the streets again?
28229Did n''t I_ tell_ you?
28229Did n''t every dog- goned man in this town except Bill Wynkoop vote for suffrage? 28229 Did n''t we see you a minute ago around in Sickle Street, Pop?"
28229Did you get her home?
28229Did you hear that?
28229Did you see it?
28229Did-- did you head him off and-- and down him? 28229 Didden-- didden I cuttiz''ead off?"
28229Do n''t bother me now, you two; ca n''t you see I''m making apple butter?
28229Do n''t you call yourself a man?
28229Do n''t you get it? 28229 Do n''t you know what that is?"
28229Do n''t you think I am of age yet?
28229Do you deduce anything from the fact that the grain was to go to the Allies, Anderson?
28229Do you mean to say you''ve knowed all along who she was?
28229Do you mean to say, Anderson Crow, that you never suspected what''s got into all these gay Lotharios?
28229Do you mean to tell me that Jake left a farewell note?
28229Do you mean to tell me there ai n''t been any man slew in this house?
28229Do you see him now?
28229Do you suppose I fought in the Union Army before I was born?
28229Do you think that barrel''s heavy enough to stop him?
28229Do you think they c''n hear?
28229Do you want to get bit?
28229Do you want us to freeze our ears right here in sight o''Jim Lamson''s stove?
28229Does seem a little high- handed, do n''t it?
28229Drop me at the post office, will you?
28229Ed Foster?
28229Ever see''em before, Sue?
28229Feel-- feel what?
28229Field Marshal Crow?
28229Fine day, ai n''t it?
28229For the Lord''s sake, Lucy,--wha-- what ails you?
28229Gentlemen, would you object to being interviewed on this important message from Washington? 28229 Ghost?"
28229Go on what?
28229Good gosh, Harry, ai n''t we had enough scandal in this here town today without addin''anything French to it?
28229Good gosh, Lucius, have you-- have you had your hands cut off?
28229Gosh a''mighty, Alf, ai n''t you got any sense at all? 28229 Got her under control?"
28229Granting that the bed was all right, then is n''t it pretty clear that she was referring to something else? 28229 Has Minnie been saying anything about my wife, Harry Squires?"
28229Has that woman been saying things about me?
28229Have I the honour of addressing Mr. Anderson Crow?
28229Have you got a clue?
28229Have you had your dinner?
28229Have-- have you deduced something important, Anderson?
28229Have_ you_ heard it?
28229He would n''t fight back, and how would I feel if you carried him off to jail as if he was a lunch- basket? 28229 Hear that?"
28229Hear you?
28229Hire an automobile, or a delivery- wagon, or-- what say?
28229How aboudt that sody, Miss Susie?
28229How about insanity? 28229 How are you going to stop it, Pop?"
28229How c''n that be? 28229 How do I know she''s telling the truth about all this rumpus?
28229How do you know that, sir?
28229How do you shut it off?
28229How do you spell beverage, Anderson?
28229How do you stop it?
28229How does it happen I never knowed anything about this, Eva?
28229How does she deduce that?
28229How in thunder do you expect me to lead five or six different posses?
28229How long did they set there?
28229How long has this feller been here?
28229How many times I got to tell you not to loiter aroun''the streets? 28229 How many times have I got to tell you to''tend to that telephonin''?
28229How many times have I got to tell you, Alf, that I''m able to deduce these cases without your assistance? 28229 How old do you make out Bessie is, Alf?"
28229How was he actin''?
28229How''m I interferin''?
28229How''s that?
28229How?
28229I asked you how far is it?
28229I do n''t just exactly remember how many funerals you''ve had, Liff, but-- say, just out o''curiosity, how many have you had? 28229 I guess there ai n''t anything back of it''cept a face, an''she''s got a right to have a face, ai n''t she?"
28229I loaned it last winter to Milt Cupples, an''he--"Who the devil are you?
28229I mean where was I talkin''''bout? 28229 I say,_ have you heard it_?"
28229I wonder if the boys have got that fire out yet?
28229I-- You do n''t see him anywheres up the street, do you?
28229If they feel as though the thing ought to be cleared up jest fer_ their_ sakes, why do n''t they git together an''offer a reward? 28229 In the parlour?"
28229Is Bill Kepsal here?
28229Is he a little more vicious than usual tonight?
28229Is he ca''am an''quiet, Stella?
28229Is he one of your subordinates?
28229Is it somethin''ag''in her character?
28229Is she conscious? 28229 Is that true?"
28229Is the road pretty good all the way?
28229Is there a fire?
28229Is there a second to the nomination?
28229Is there any proof that Jake Miller was n''t dead long before he was strung up to that rafter?
28229Is there evidence of foul play?
28229Is this the road to Albany?
28229Is zat you, An''erson?
28229Is-- is that you?
28229JAKE MILLER HANGS HIMSELF"Have you heard the latest news?
28229Just what do you mean by that, Anderson Crow?
28229Kill her?
28229Lesh see-- where was I?
28229Little-- what''s that you said?
28229Lookin''fer clues?
28229Looking in that hair- dresser''s window?
28229Looks pretty serious, does n''t it, Chief?
28229Ma''am?
28229Marshal of Tinkletown, I believe?
28229Maybe who follered you?
28229Miss Who?
28229Mortimer, will you please give Mr. Fox the money?
28229My God, Harry-- you ai n''t mixed up in this murder?
28229My poor b''loved hussam whass I have endured f''r twenty- fi''years wiz aller Chrissen forcitude of-- where is my poor hussam?
28229My sakes alive, Harry Squires, you do n''t suppose I''m tellin''my real suspicions to any newspaper reporter, do you? 28229 No law against gittin''married, is there, constable?"
28229One hundred dollars is the very least you will take?
28229Or is it Town Marshal? 28229 Practising what?"
28229Really?
28229Say, Anderson,he broke in abruptly,"has it ever occurred to you that there might be something back of it that ought to be investigated?"
28229Say, ca n''t you see I''m busy? 28229 See anything of the deacon?"
28229See here, Alf, are you tryin''to act like Newt Spratt?
28229See that bunch of men forming over there? 28229 See that?
28229See that? 28229 Settles what?"
28229Shall I go ahead and paste any more of these, Anderson?
28229Shall we go to the electric chair hand in hand?
28229Shall we go with you, Anderson?
28229She ain''t--"She ai n''t, eh? 28229 Simple?"
28229So you think you c''n git married without my consent, do you?
28229Somethin''scand''lous?
28229Speakin''about sunsets,said he hastily, after a quick glance at her shaded upper lip,"how''s your pa?
28229Tell-- tell_ who_?
28229Thank heavens, I just remembered that Milt Cupples borrowed it last winter to--"Borrowed my revolver?
28229The celebrated Anderson Crow?
28229The one you been wearin''to church lately?
28229The point is, Anderson, are you going to let Vicious Lucius beat his family to death, or are you going up to the Gully and arrest him?
28229The question is, is the girl of age?
28229The sprinklin''-cart driver?
28229The what?
28229The-- the what?
28229Then you hain''t murdered her yet? 28229 They do n''t want to fight_ who_?"
28229Thish? 28229 Too late for what?"
28229Two men?
28229Um-- ah-- what_ wuz_ I talkin''about?
28229United States detectives-- what do you call''em?
28229Warn me about what?
28229Was Eva Crow there?
28229Was Mrs. Loop up when you got back home?
28229Was he too much fer you?
28229Was it bought in Tinkletown or Boggs City?
28229Was n''t he present at the obsequies?
28229Was that all you did?
28229Was you ever drunk on hard cider?
28229Was you present when he was cut down?
28229We ca n''t do anything till we find out which way the derned rascals went, can we?
28229We''ve got to nip this thing in the bud if we have to--"What proof have you got that the Germans are back of all this? 28229 Well, ai n''t I?"
28229Well, ai n''t she?
28229Well, ai n''t_ that_ ag''in the law? 28229 Well, did you ever see him ag''in?"
28229Well, do you know it''s impossible to buy a good eatin''or cookin''apple in this town today, Harry Squires?
28229Well, if I may be so bold as to ask, madam, where are you going?
28229Well, of all the-- But what on earth''s he doing here in Tinkletown?
28229Well, of all the-- Say, do n''t you know it''s after nine o''clock?
28229Well, what are ye?
28229Well, where in hell are we?
28229Well, who the deuce have we here?

28229What ails you, Alf? 28229 What are you going to do first?"
28229What are you going to do?
28229What are you talkin''about, Ma?
28229What business have you got runnin''around the country like this in the dead o''night, all alone--"Ai n''t I the Marshal of Tinkletown?
28229What charge will your wife make ag''inst you? 28229 What did you say to her?"
28229What did you say to that feller?
28229What do I mean by what?
28229What do you mean by that?
28229What do you mean?
28229What do you take me for? 28229 What else could I do?"
28229What else could I mean?
28229What fer kind of a dog is that you got, Ed?
28229What fer sort of a lock is it?
28229What fer sort of lookin''feller is this man your wife''s been carryin''on with?

28229What is it?
28229What is the answer? 28229 What is the meaning of this intrusion?"
28229What is your opinion, Mr. Crow,inquired Harry Squires,"as to the amount we would have to pay a good detective to tackle the job?"
28229What kind of a cigar do you smoke, Jennie?
28229What kind of a hat was it?
28229What kind of beverage?
28229What mystery? 28229 What reason did he ever give you for wantin''to take his own life?
28229What right have you got to interfere with my business?

28229When you what?
28229Where are you going?
28229Where do we get the Albany road?
28229Where do you suppose she got it?
28229Where have you been at?
28229Where have you been, dern you?
28229Where have you been?
28229Where is your wife?
28229Where was I last night and this morning?
28229Where you been?
28229Where''d I get this G. A. R. badge, lemme ast you? 28229 Where''s Mr. Crow?
28229Where''s the body?
28229Where''s the feller that''s stoppin''here?
28229Where''s your gun?
28229Where-- where''s the deacon''s head?
28229Whether she''s willing,--or not?
28229Which tune?
28229Who are these men?
28229Who are you?
28229Who goes there?
28229Who is that man standing against the tree beside you? 28229 Who is this Pietro Emanuel Cocotte?
28229Who is-- is my what?
28229Who told you he was drunk?
28229Who told you that?
28229Who''s going to tend jail when there''s anybody locked up in it?
28229Who? 28229 Who?
28229Who? 28229 Whose daughter?"
28229Why not?
28229Why should n''t I fit a key to that lock, Andy?
28229Why, ai n''t you got any eyes? 28229 Why, you could have tackled him right then an''there, could n''t you?"
28229Why, you just back her, same as anybody else does, an''then reverse her, an''--"You old goose, how can I back her when she keeps on going for''ard?
28229Why?
28229Wo n''t you take off your overcoat and goloshes?
28229Would n''t last fer twenty- three years, would it?
28229Would you, reely, Anderson?
28229Yes, an''what in thunder would we do if we caught up with''em unexpected- like if we did n''t have Anderson with us?
28229Yes, but who''s going to take charge of this here box? 28229 You ai n''t going to give yourself up without a fight, are you, Lucius?"
28229You did n''t?
28229You do n''t suppose I''m going to let those men pursue me all the way home, do you?
28229You have said them very words to me a thousand times, Alf Reesling, and-- Who''s that coming out of the post office?
28229You leave me alone,snarled Lucius in a manner so malevolent that Mrs. Banks cried out delightedly:"Oh, ai n''t he just grand?
28229You mean_ me_?
28229You say you saw him, Anderson?
28229You say your Ma''s safely locked in the pantry?
28229You surely ca n''t mean to insinuate that I--"What is this mystery you''ve just been solvin''?
28229You was, eh? 28229 You''d be surprised if I was to tell you that the whole derned plot originated right here in Tinkletown, would n''t you?
28229You''re sure he ai n''t follerin''me? 28229 You''re the marshal of this here town, ai n''t you?
28229You-- you ai n''t goin''to desert me, are you?
28229You-- you have seen him before?
28229You-- you want to be locked in?
28229You-- you''re sure about that?
28229_ Now_ who''s lying?
28229''Course, I realize now it was foolish o''me to try to go up there an''take them two desperadoes single- handed, but I-- What''s that, Bud?"
28229''What''s the use of ruinin''a good dog by calling him Edgar?''
28229A gun?"
28229A jail- break?
28229Ai n''t I agreein''to handle the job for you?"
28229Ai n''t there any way to stop this thing?"
28229Ai n''t they always tellin''the young boys that they got to be careful er they''ll be like Alf Reesling?
28229Ai n''t you chief of the fire- department?
28229Ai n''t you goin''to resist arrest?"
28229Ai n''t you going to sleep with me if I appoint you deputy marshal?"
28229Am I-- am I goin''blind?"
28229An''--an''you say she''s the big actress whose picture we see in the papers every now an''again?"
28229An''besides, ai n''t they always preachin''at me an''about me at the Methodist an''Congregational churches?
28229An''it''s_ your_ house, ai n''t it?
28229An''just to prove it to her, I turned an''says to Shep:''Ai n''t that so, Shep, old sport?''
28229An''there was n''t any other way to do it in this jerk- water town, was there?
28229An''what do you think that poor old dog done?
28229An''what''s it all come from?
28229An''when I went to her an''respectfully requested her to quit disturbin''the peace, she-- do you know what she said to me?"
28229An''you do n''t think the citizens of this here town would elect a ten- year- old boy to the responsible position of town marshal, do you?
28229And how many have you got?"
28229And what in the world was he to do if the fellow had a revolver?
28229And what, may I ask, is the little round button at the top?"
28229And why?
28229Are n''t you detectives always shadowing some one?"
28229Are you crazy or what?"
28229Are you in any way related to the great detective?"
28229Are you really_ real_?
28229Are you thinking of resigning as Marshal of Tinkletown?"
28229Assuming a more or less indifferent air, he calmly remarked:"I knowed Jake was a little under the weather, but I did n''t think it was serious?
28229Beats the Dutch, do n''t it?"
28229Before Mrs. O''Ryan could affirm or deny this polite bit of information, Alf cried out:"You do n''t mean to say you_ know_ about it?"
28229Besides, I''ll thank you not to stick your nose in my family affairs any--""What''s that you got in your pocket?"
28229Besides, who''s going to take the trouble to ascertain whether it contains one- half of one percent alcohol?
28229Bowl me over?
28229But before you do it, lemme warn you I''ll sue you for false arrest, and then where''ll you be?
28229But was n''t that remark significant?"
28229By gosh, why is it mother- in- laws last so long?
28229By the way, has Mrs. Crow a good dog-- I mean one that she can be proud of?"
28229Ca n''t you get her under control?
28229Ca n''t you keep back where you belong?
28229Ca n''t you see I''m on my way over to Justice Robb''s to swear out a warrant against Abraham Lincoln Bonaparte for bein''intoxicated?
28229Ca n''t you see I''m thinkin''?"
28229Ca n''t you see the wall''s about ready to fall?
28229Can it be a matter of false pride with us?
28229Carrie told him she was n''t up yet, and what do you think the little whipper- snapper said?"
28229Come back here as quick as you can an''--what say, Harry?"
28229Consarn it, do n''t you know the town''s full of highwaymen?
28229Could any one as pretty, as dainty and as refined- looking as she be engaged in the awful business of charming snakes?
28229Could it be possible that he was losing his grip?
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229Crow?"
28229D''ye hear me?
28229Did n''t I hear the man say he was the marshal of Tinkletown?"
28229Did n''t I order you to go in there an''grab that bloody assassin?
28229Did n''t you feel that?"
28229Did n''t you hear what I said about the case in hand?
28229Did n''t you walk up to the polls last fall and vote to give her the right?"
28229Did you hear the way he spoke to me, Emma Ducker?
28229Did you say drunk?"
28229Didden I tell you my hussam desherted me?
28229Do I look upon you in the flesh?"
28229Do n''t make a sound-- do you hear?"
28229Do n''t you know any better''n--""Are you goin''to arrest this Bonyparte feller?"
28229Do n''t you know whass a hashet is?"
28229Do n''t you think so, Mort?"
28229Do you happen to be chasin''a gang of joy- riders?"
28229Do you hear me?"
28229Do you know what I''ve been thinking, Anderson?
28229Do you want everybody to think you''re takin''me to jail, or home to my poor wife, or somethin''like that?
28229Do you want me to put something in the_ Banner_ about Bramble County''s bumper crop of pippins?"
28229Do you want to fall out and break your neck?"
28229Do you want to get it scorched an''ruined so''s it wo n''t be fit fer anything agin?
28229Does that put any sort of an idea into your nut, Anderson?"
28229Doubtless some of them might--""How long after a man''s been on a bad spree is he likely to think he sees snakes?"
28229Eh, brothers?"
28229Encountering Deacon Rank in front of the_ Banner_ office, he chanced this somewhat offensive remark:"Say, Deacon, what''s this I hear about you?"
28229Far in the night, Mrs. Crow peevishly mumbled to her bedfellow:"What ails you, Anderson Crow?
28229Fighting''em here as well as over in France?
28229Fox?"
28229Gee whiz, Chief, where you been?
28229Gosh, with all you hear about German efficiency, you''d''a''thought he''d''a''knowed better, would n''t you?"
28229Had he arrived in the nick of time?
28229Hain''t they saved the engine and every foot of hose the town owns?"
28229Have you any idee as to the size of the apple crop in this neighbourhood last summer and fall, Harry?"
28229Have you got any of the gold here?
28229Have you got anybody to bail you out, er are you goin''to spend the night in the lock- up?"
28229Hawkshaw?"
28229Hawkshaw?"
28229Hawkshaw?"
28229He glanced at the old marshal, swallowed hard a couple of times, and then hopefully ventured the time- honoured question:"Anything new, Anderson?"
28229He has tried it out on the most highly respected ladies in town, that''s what he''s done,--and why?
28229He just kep''on tryin''to lick my hand, an''so she hit him a clip with her parysol an''says:''Edgar, must I speak to you again?
28229He told me yesterday he would deny it even if he had both of his legs; but what chance, says he, has a one- legged man got with big Bill Kepsal?"
28229He was here a few minutes ago, and-- which way did he go, Bill?"
28229He''s afraid he might throw her out of a window and-- and break her neck, did n''t you say, Lucius?"
28229He''s still over at Hawkins''s place, is he?
28229He--""Did he say that?"
28229He--""What''s that?
28229Him?
28229How do I know you ai n''t a spy?
28229How far is it to Fisher''s lane?"
28229How in thunder did you find out about Jake?"
28229How in thunder was I to know what she was sayin''?
28229How''d you happen to pick her, Otto?"
28229How''s that?"
28229Howdy do?
28229I ai n''t had a drink in twenty- three years, and what good does it do me?
28229I allus hate to have a hat comin''down on my ears, do n''t you?
28229I argued--""What''s the matter with you?
28229I ask you again, civil as possible,--what you got in your pocket?"
28229I been standin''here fer some time, an''I guess I''d know if anybody was--""Do you think I am blind?"
28229I got to save Mr. Pratt''s studio, an''--""Well, you know them two tramps you put in the lock- up yesterday afternoon?"
28229I just want to ask you if there''s anything in this new prohibition amendment against apple cider?"
28229I mean anything more than usual?"
28229I never seen such--""Shall we go upstairs, gentlemen, and relieve the pressure on Miss Hildebrand?
28229I resign now-- do you hear me?
28229I says to Hetty, says I:''In the name o''Heaven, Hetty,''says I,''what you been doin''to Shep?''
28229I''m peaceable now, Stella-- we''ve got perfect peace now, ai n''t we?
28229I''m the bes''frien''your wife''s got innis town an''she-- who''s''at lookin''out zat winner?
28229I''ve always said it, have n''t I, Anderson?
28229I-- er-- where was I at, Alf?...
28229I--""Burglars, did you say?"
28229I--""Why do n''t you go in your own house an''stay there?"
28229I_ had_ to entertain him, did n''t I?
28229If I was, do n''t you suppose I''d''a''walked?"
28229If he is n''t one of your men, Mr. Crow, who in Heaven''s name is he?"
28229If they was n''t, how''d they happen to miss the road?"
28229In spite of the big crop last fall?"
28229Is he a friend of yours?"
28229Is he surrounding the house?
28229Is it possible my eyes deceived me?"
28229Is it safe to hit it up a little on the dirt- road?
28229Is she able to talk?"
28229Is she out in the kitchen?"
28229Is that the one she''s singin''?"
28229Is there any one here who ai n''t subscribed to the_ Banner_?"
28229Is this me?"
28229Is your ma still in bed?"
28229Is-- is it_ you_, Eva?"
28229Is-- is there a man in the case?"
28229It do n''t seem right-- now, does it, Anderson?"
28229It is n''t on quite straight-- and it''s such a pretty hat, is n''t it?"
28229It will cost us a little money, possibly fifty cents apiece; but what is that compared to a fair name?
28229It''s a nice day, ai n''t it, Judy?"
28229It''s against the law for me to arrest--""But ai n''t it against the law for him to be trying to murder Ma and Juliet and me?"
28229JAKE MILLER HANGS HIMSELF ILLUSTRATIONS Three seconds later the two youngsters had the ear of Anderson Crow"Wha-- what was that you said?"
28229Just as I got it, the secret- service men came dashin''up an''--What say, Deacon?
28229Looks as though an apple orchard is likely to prove more valuable than a gold mine, does n''t it?"
28229Loop?"
28229Lucy,--but, fer heaven''s sake, what are you goin''to do with it?"
28229Ma says,--this is all she said,--Ma says:''Did you hit your finger, Lucius?''
28229Marshal?"
28229Move back, will you?
28229Move on, now--""Have you heard the latest?"
28229My Lord, Anderson, what''s to be done?"
28229My automobile is in your local garage, Mr. Hawk, and we can be ready to start as soon as we have fed and aired the-- er-- shall we say contents?"
28229My girl Queenie?
28229No harm in that, is there?"
28229Now come--""Mister Snooks?"
28229Now does_ that_ help you any?"
28229Now, when did you next see this man?"
28229Please--""Where''s my hashet?
28229Presently he wheezed:"Wha-- what''s-- all-- the-- rumpus?"
28229Presently, feeling that he could trust his voice, he asked:"Why do n''t you offer a reward, Liff?"
28229Say, d''you ever know she could shing bass?
28229See here, Alf,--what in thunder are you doin''here?
28229See him?
28229See those bottles over there under Bill''s stool?
28229See?
28229She ai n''t under oath, is she?
28229She knows it''s got to last her five or six years more, an''how in tarnation can she make it last that long if she wears it all the time?
28229She might prove that she was n''t ever married to_ this_ feller, an''then where would I be?
28229She''s livin''in the same house with you, ai n''t she?
28229She--""Where-- where are they now?"
28229She--""_ My_ wife?"
28229Tall feller with--""And the lady saw him too?"
28229The Woman For''n Missionary S''ciety?"
28229The first meeting of the board of directors will bring together a dozen of the greatest--""Where will the meetin''be held?"
28229The question naturally arises: which one of us is it?
28229The veil, for instance?"
28229Then after another sniffle:"Why?"
28229Then he added anxiously:"You-- you did n''t go an''do anything foolish, did you, Carrie?"
28229They''ve heard about--""Are you coming up?"
28229Think carefully, now,--and nothing but the truth, mind you?"
28229This here lady prefers charges against you, an''it''s my duty to--""What is the charge, madam?"
28229Uncle Dad put his hand up to his left ear and said"Hey?"
28229Use a little common sense, ca n''t you?
28229Was he about to witness the surreptitious departure of the unwelcome guest?
28229We do n''t want no gosh- blamed woman fer-- eh?
28229We have put up with Mr. Loop for a great many years, gentlemen, and what do we get for our pains?
28229Well, then, what are you kicking about?
28229Well, what was you going to tell me?"
28229Well, what''s the answer?"
28229Wha-- what''s the matter with her, Anderson?"
28229What I mean is what offence have you committed?
28229What I want to know is, is he or is he not in his own house, under his own roof?"
28229What ails you, Eva Crow?
28229What are all these fellers gittin''married for if there ai n''t somethin''behind it?
28229What are you talking about?
28229What better proof do you want than that?
28229What could be more sacred than the outpourings of love?
28229What did Doc say he died of?"
28229What did she say?"
28229What did you say?"
28229What do you mean by that?"
28229What do you say, friend Downs?"
28229What does Mr. Loop say to the proposition?
28229What does a wireless plant look like, Anderson?"
28229What fer sort of a charge would you say I ought to bring?"
28229What has the old villain been up to lately?"
28229What in thunder are you tryin''to do, Lou Banks?"
28229What is it?"
28229What kind are they?
28229What law have you broke?"
28229What object can you possibly have, Mr. Crow, in lying to me about--""Lying?"
28229What on earth''s got into you, Pop?
28229What say, Alf?"
28229What story?"
28229What time do you reach your office?"
28229What time is it, Lum?"
28229What will people say when they find out you was able to arrest him single- handed, without a gang o''men to help you?
28229What you holdin''me up for?"
28229What''s he got to confess?"
28229What''s his name and where''s he from?"
28229What''s more, he said, if Ed ever does get to France he''s likely to be killed-- or fatally wounded-- and then where would she be?"
28229What''s that got to do with it?"
28229What''s the matter, Bud?"
28229What''s the rush?
28229What''s the sense of takin''your hat off to a woman, he would argue, if she''s already got past you?
28229What''s this?
28229What''s your hurry?"
28229When and where did you help Jake Miller write that note of farewell?"
28229When did he die?"
28229When did you last see Jake Miller,--and what was he doing?"
28229Where are you going to sleep tonight, Elfie?"
28229Where are you?"
28229Where did you next see him?"
28229Where does this road take us?"
28229Where in thunder are you fellers goin''with that hose an''engine?"
28229Where you been all morning, Andy?
28229Where you going?"
28229Where''s Alf?
28229Where''s Harry?"
28229Where''s it at?"
28229Where''s my hush-- hushban''?"
28229Where''s my hussam, An''erson?"
28229Where''s my revolver?"
28229Where''s my trumpet?
28229Where''s the lady of the house?"
28229Where''s your courage?
28229Where''s zat nice old deacon?"
28229Who cut the rope?"
28229Who says she''s ashamed to go to church?
28229Why ai n''t you guardin''them remains as I told you to do?"
28229Why do n''t you ask them?"
28229Why do n''t you get a new one?
28229Why, if Stella ever got onto the fact that I--""But you keep on beatin''her just the same, do n''t you?"
28229Will you do exactly what I tell you to do?"
28229Would n''t that be a safe sort of complaint?
28229Would you mind steppin''outside fer a couple of minutes?
28229You ca n''t go around killin''--Say, where is Mrs. Smith?
28229You do n''t happen to have a bid there fer his weddin'', have you, Anderson?
28229You do n''t mean to claim that he did n''t leave one, do you?"
28229You do n''t suppose I could lick_ both_ of''em, do you?
28229You gentlemen lookin''fer any one in partic''lar?"
28229You gimme that--""An''erson Crow, are you tryin''inshult me?"
28229You know Jim Banks?
28229You may not know it, gentlemen, but we have had a bona- fide offer of one hundred dollars-- and that is n''t to be sneezed at, is it?
28229You surely do n''t think it is fair to your friends, do you,''Liphalet Loop?
28229You take her home, do you hear?"
28229You was quite a friend of Jake Miller''s, was n''t you?"
28229You will--""What the devil are you talkin''about?"
28229You''ll be all right in the mornin'', an--""Didden my hussam go in the Blammer ossif minute ago?"
28229You''re not going to shoot it off, are you?"
28229You''re right in my way, an''--""I suppose you know that the Germans are still fighting the Allies, do n''t you?
28229You-- you say you ca n''t lick your wife?"
28229You?
28229Your-- your revolver?
28229Zat my hussam?"
28229[ Illustration:_ Eight or ten people were congregated in front of the Fry house_]"What''s this I hear about you, Lucius Fry?"
28229[ Illustration:_ Several heartbroken gentlemen threatened to shoot themselves_]"What''s the sense of doing that?"
28229[ Illustration:_"The celebrated Anderson Crow?"
28229[ Illustration:_"Wha-- what was that you said?"
28229_ Fifty?_ For goodness''sake, Harry, are you sure?"
28229_ Fifty?_ For goodness''sake, Harry, are you sure?"
28229was the subdued, timorous voice of Sister Rank?
28229were the shrill and fearless tones that issued forth from the lips of the deacon''s wife?
35424And Dorothy?
35424And I? 35424 And have the whole house about our ears?
35424And if she refuses?
35424And then?
35424And what is that?
35424And where is that?
35424And you, madam?
35424Barbara''s son?
35424But how can you reach her? 35424 But how will you be able to influence Miss Camerden to come down?"
35424But when I am in the cellar, what then?
35424But where can I get it?
35424But why can not I go to my room? 35424 Can you go through the ceremony of marriage?"
35424Certainly; did n''t you recognize him?
35424Daughter of whom?
35424Did he say it was Miss Camerden?
35424Did you expect to? 35424 Do you not wish to speak to him?"
35424Do you remember the dream he related for the delectation of such as would listen?
35424Do you think she will recognize your right to summon her to an interview?
35424Does Miss Murray still cherish the expectation of being married to- day? 35424 Does Miss Murray wear white to- night?"
35424Does the sight of him recall anything?
35424Frances? 35424 Good likeness, eh?"
35424Have you any suggestions to offer? 35424 Have you looked in that little box since you took it from my hair?"
35424How is Miss Murray?
35424How many?
35424How should he know Miss Camerden?
35424How was this lady dressed?
35424I pick up?
35424I?
35424Is it? 35424 Is n''t that a bottle to make your eyes dance?
35424Is not Miss Glover wealthy? 35424 May I ask who is speaking to me?"
35424Miss Murray?
35424Nephew?
35424Now will you answer my former question? 35424 Oh, where is Minnie?
35424One of the Witherspoon boys?
35424One that you can tell me?
35424Remember that a word might raise suspicion, and that in a case like this-- Halloo, what''s that?
35424Shall I go?
35424Shall I not look and see where the girls are? 35424 She was in here just now, was she not?"
35424She? 35424 Then I am to stay in the hall?"
35424There were but eight,faltered the lawyer;"that means, then, all?"
35424They all believe it; they will always believe it unless I submit-- Oh, why did I ever come to this dreadful place? 35424 They?
35424This dream- maiden was a woman?
35424This is dreadful,was his comment,"entailing I do not know what unfortunate consequences upon this household and on the unhappy girl--""Girl?"
35424True, but if they offered to submit to this themselves?
35424Warn?
35424Was that Beaton?
35424Well?
35424What are you going to do with-- with Dorothy?
35424What are you going to do with_ those_?
35424What can I do to oblige you?
35424What do you say, Gilbertine?
35424What has happened?
35424What is your name?
35424What news?
35424What''s that? 35424 What''s wrong?"
35424When was that? 35424 Where are your brothers?"
35424Where is Gilbertine?
35424Where shall we go?
35424Where was this vial found?
35424Where?
35424Who did this overhauling?
35424Why do you ask that? 35424 Why not wait till morning?"
35424Why? 35424 Will bed and supper be provided me here?"
35424Will you dance the next waltz with me?
35424You believe she died from swallowing that drop?
35424You do not feel yourself worthy?
35424You know me?
35424You want to hear the letter?
35424You were at the breakfast- table yesterday morning?
35424You wish it?
35424Your name?
35424''What''s this?''
35424( Did I say that I had risen when the latter sat?)
35424A flying from herself or from_ it_?
35424After Mr. Armstrong went into the room, or before?"
35424And how did you repay this confidence on my part?
35424And now who''s the boy in the window?
35424And why did I prefer to await developments rather than ask the simplest question of any one about me?
35424Anguish?
35424Beaton, am I wrong?"
35424But Eunice had a spirit like an angel and drawing near him, she said:"Is there anything I can do for you, Cousin John?"
35424But after that, do I need to say why I am a wife?
35424But how face the publicity of restoring it now, after this elaborate and painful search, in which even the son of her hostess had taken part?
35424But perhaps there are neighbors near by; do you know?"
35424But where?
35424But would it come at all?
35424But, had I interpreted that strong, nervous pressure aright?
35424Ca n''t say much to us from canvas, eh?"
35424Ca n''t you say so?
35424Can I do nothing for your comfort or for-- for the child''s?"
35424Can you say, John?
35424Can you say, Luke?
35424Can you see it from this veranda?"
35424Can you tell me?"
35424Can you understand this amazing, this unheard- of circumstance?
35424Could I stand the suspense of the impending interview?
35424Could her eye rest on mine, even in this cold and perfunctory manner, if the drop which could separate us for ever lay concealed over her heart?
35424Deane?"
35424Dear, will you let me make you comfortable in the conservatory while I talk for five minutes with Dorothy?"
35424Did I expect to find him seated at one of the tables?
35424Did I find the ruby?
35424Did n''t he know what I had suffered, was suffering-- ah, what now?
35424Did n''t he know what, in all probability, this missing girl had with her?
35424Did you ever hear the cry made by a wounded man when the cup of cool water for which he has long agonized is brought suddenly before his eyes?
35424Did you notice how bright and happy she looked when the lights sprang up?
35424Did you notice which end of the table he ignored when relating this dramatic episode?"
35424Do I look fit to enter among the dancers?
35424Do n''t you think so?
35424Do you know her door?"
35424Do you know what she is doing now?
35424Do you mean me to be present at an interview so painful, nay, so serious and so threatening?
35424Do you not see guilt written on his brow?
35424Do you remember it, Lemuel?
35424Do you remember it, Luke?
35424Do you remember it, lads?
35424Do you remember my turning to speak to him the moment after that word_ all_ fell from the lawyer''s lips?"
35424Do you remember the white silk train which Mr. Armstrong saw slipping from this room?
35424Do you see your way to accomplishing this?
35424Do you think I did wrong?
35424Do you understand me, you cruel, crafty ones?"
35424Fear?
35424For the two women pressing behind me were--""Who?"
35424For whom was he looking?
35424Gently removing it from his hand, I asked with all the calmness possible:"What is all this mystery?
35424Gilbertine or Dorothy?
35424Gilbertine or Dorothy?
35424Had I heard anything?
35424Had I mistaken my darling''s feelings?
35424Had Sinclair managed to have his little conversation with her?
35424Had anything new come to light?
35424Had burglars got in?
35424Had he known that I had no place in her will?
35424Had it always been the latter''s wish, then, to enrich the one and slight the other?
35424Had it necessarily meant love?
35424Had it not imprinted itself upon my mind as the one revolting vision of my life?
35424Had my aunt taken him into her confidence?
35424Had she followed her niece from the room?
35424Had they been talking about me?
35424Had this footstep been Dorothy''s, and if so, what had brought her into this remote portion of the house?
35424How can I go through this rehearsal with such a doubt in my mind?
35424How could she have been?
35424How many of you are there?
35424How many of you ever had the opportunity of drinking real Tokay before?"
35424How should I fill up this gap of silence?
35424How tell her of the great, the grievous mistake she had made?
35424How?"
35424I do not understand-- I am frightened-- what have you to say to Dorothy you can not say to me?"
35424I have advised this man to hold his peace till I can make inquiries, but where am I to make them?
35424I merely exclaimed:"And to- night?"
35424I thought you had entirely dissociated her with this matter and that you blamed Dorothy and Dorothy only, for the amethyst''s loss?"
35424I wonder upon which of her two unfortunate nieces she will expend her ill- temper to- night?"
35424Instantly, her look of curiosity changed to one of suspicion, and repeating,''What''s in it?
35424Into what sort of gathering had I stumbled?
35424Is her sympathy with Mr. Deane so great as to cause her to weep over his loss?"
35424Is it beautiful?
35424Is it?"
35424Is that young lady here?
35424Is there unconsciousness in it or just the hilarity of a distracted mind bent on self- destruction?
35424Is this the police- station?"
35424It fell out--""Your dressmaker''s bill?"
35424It would seem so, but why should the slighted one be Gilbertine?
35424Luke, Hector, Janet, have you heard him tell of that vision at his gateway, twenty- five years ago?
35424No; I should find her alone, but where?
35424Now, Mr. Worthington, what am I to do with this knowledge?
35424On her person or hidden in some of her belongings?
35424One of Salmon''s four grandchildren, think''e?
35424Or a shoot from Eustace''s gnarled old trunk?
35424Or was another and more dreadful tragedy awaiting us?
35424Probably you can not even tell how the ladies took it?"
35424Remorse?
35424Shall I step into the drawing- room with you?"
35424Shall we fare on together, you, I-- and the little one?"
35424Shall we think of ourselves or even of each other while these men, all relatives of mine, are dying on the other side of this wall?"
35424Shall we, then, fare on together-- we and the little child?"
35424She must have spoken the truth, but was it the entire truth?
35424Should I ask him if this was so?
35424Should I find Miss Lane there?
35424Should I send Hendricks or should I send Hicks?
35424Should we in another minute encounter her ponderous figure in the group of people we could now hear hurrying toward us?
35424That would be bad, eh?
35424The next point is, how are we to settle our doubts?
35424Then suddenly, and with a startling impetuosity, which drew her to her feet:"Are you going to tell everybody that?
35424There are five, are n''t there?
35424This imposing figure might be that of a millionaire''s daughter; how then could I associate her, even in my own mind, with theft?
35424This scene of seeming mirth and happy promise, or the fancies he had conjured up to rob us both of peace?
35424To one of the former I addressed the question:"Where is the butler''s pantry?
35424Was any one seen to approach Mr. Deane on the carriage- drive prior to his assertion that the jewel was lost?"
35424Was her heart still cold, her affection unwon?
35424Was it because of a fresh lull in the conversation about us?
35424Was it fire?
35424Was she still in the conservatory?
35424Was the man a fool?
35424Was this what we heard just before that scream went up?
35424We have him at the door; shall we bring him in?"
35424Were we not wasting strength and a great deal of emotion on a dread which had no foundation in fact?
35424What alternative remained?
35424What did it mean?
35424What has happened to them?
35424What have you done that you should forego an inheritance to which these others feel themselves honestly entitled?"
35424What have you forgot?"
35424What interest have you( called in, as I understand, to recover a stolen jewel) in Frances Glover''s personal difficulties?"
35424What is in it and why were you so afraid of my seeing it?''
35424What is your name?"
35424What made you think he might still have the ruby?"
35424What shall I do now?
35424What troubles Miss Glover?
35424What was I to say, what could I say, in response to such a declaration, following so immediately upon his warm assertion of her innocence?
35424What was the article you were seen to pick up from the driveway soon after leaving your carriage?"
35424What was the matter?
35424What would be the result?
35424What''s in it?''
35424What''s that?"
35424What''s the matter?"
35424What, then, could you expect from two poor girls entirely dependent upon her for everything they enjoyed?
35424When?
35424Where was she hidden?
35424Where was she when her aunt died?"
35424Where was she, then?
35424Where will you see him?"
35424Which was the dream?
35424Who could this some one be?
35424Who had uttered that dreadful shriek?
35424Who saw her?"
35424Who?
35424Who?
35424Why did they have to look for you?
35424Why do you look at me with those incredulous eyes?"
35424Why have your suspicions returned to Gilbertine?
35424Why is this?
35424Why should I not show the same consideration to Gilbertine?"
35424Why was I on my feet?
35424Why were they here again so early?
35424Why, then, did my brain whirl and my heart collapse?
35424Why?
35424Will you drink it?
35424Will you see that she gets it?"
35424Withdraw?
35424Wo n''t you believe me?
35424Would it ever come to pass that a harsh man of the law would feel it his duty to speak to my Flora as I must now speak to the young girl before me?
35424Would she be found huddled but alive in some far- off chamber?
35424Yes, a stir, a very faint stir somewhere down the hall-- the slow, cautious opening of a door, then a footfall-- or had I imagined the latter?
35424Yet where could that ruby be, if not with this young girl?
35424Yet why should the old woman frown on me?
35424Yet, who knows?
35424You and your babe are still alive; while they--""What of them?
35424You were a Westonhaugh, I believe?"
35424_ And who was the person who uttered that scream?_"She confronted him sadly, but with an earnestness he could not but respect.
35424_ You will not?_""No, no, no!"
35424and why did we not hear her strident and aggressive tones rising in angry remonstrance at our intrusion?
35424where are our cloaks-- our rubbers?"
35424why I am_ his_ wife?"
28337A kind of midnight wanderer, eh?
28337Ah, how do I know?
28337And I suppose some people one meets at Continental hotels are undesirables, are n''t they?
28337And after that?
28337And do you, then, refuse to become my friend, Miss Pennington?
28337And have n''t you looked over the place?
28337And he really entered the taxi with Reckitt? 28337 And how could I either, Owen?"
28337And how long do you remain here?
28337And if I refuse, what then?
28337And if I sign, you will bring Sylvia here? 28337 And if her father forbids?"
28337And is a pitfall spread in mine?
28337And is that all that is known?
28337And it was after this engagement that the attempt was made upon you-- eh?
28337And make yourselves scarce afterwards, eh? 28337 And nobody has been over it with a view to renting it?"
28337And now he seems to have mounted guard outside, eh?
28337And now what is your own opinion concerning them?
28337And now,asked Reckitt,"have you fully reflected upon the serious consequences of your refusal to sign this cheque?"
28337And see you no more-- eh?
28337And slipped out in an endeavour to make his exit, eh?
28337And supposing that I gave you the money, how do I know that you would keep faith with me?
28337And that is an actual promise?
28337And that would n''t cripple you-- eh?
28337And the same may be said of Poland-- eh?
28337And they showed it to the two young foreigners-- eh?
28337And what became of the young lady?
28337And what did you do?
28337And what else did you see or hear?
28337And what else?
28337And what is that?
28337And what of Bell?
28337And what was her answer?
28337And what would you be prepared to settle on my daughter, providing I gave my consent? 28337 And who exposed them?"
28337And who is this fellow Lewis?
28337And you are here alone?
28337And you are no doubt aware of the reason of my visit?
28337And you believed it to be her real name?
28337And you deny having followed me here?
28337And you offer that, in return for my assistance?
28337And you really would give me in charge-- eh?
28337And you saw him with me at Paris?
28337And you say she seemed very fatigued?
28337And you withdrew in order to escape his observation-- eh?
28337And you would arrest me-- eh?
28337And you, of course, know about the incident of a man closely resembling the French detective Guertin being found dead outside the door of the Elms?
28337And your daughter?
28337And, to you, he called himself Pierre Delanne, eh?
28337Are n''t you going to draw the cheque?
28337Are you on night- duty in Porchester Terrace, constable?
28337As what?
28337Because-- why?
28337Become an amateur detective-- eh, Owen?
28337But a warrant is out for him, of course?
28337But ca n''t you be more explicit?
28337But have I not already told you that I am fearless? 28337 But have you brought the cheque?"
28337But how could you be implicated?
28337But if I do not go to the police, why should they fear me? 28337 But there have been people coming and going, have there not?"
28337But we''ve told you, have n''t we? 28337 But what is this secret knowledge?"
28337But what kind of a man was he? 28337 But what should I do, dad, without you?"
28337But what''s up?
28337But why are you at home now?
28337But why are you so eager that I shall leave you?
28337But why do you tell me this?
28337But why should I go in fear of this unknown enemy?
28337But why should an innocent, law- abiding, inoffensive man be compelled to hide himself like a fugitive from justice?
28337But why?
28337But why?
28337But why?
28337But why?
28337But will you not tell me what is intended? 28337 But with what motive did you make your inquiries?"
28337But you evidently object to pay for him, eh?
28337But-- but, somehow----"Somehow, what?
28337By name?
28337By whom?
28337Carrying with them the diamond necklet which the other man had brought there?
28337Confess what?
28337Delanne?
28337Did I not tell you last night that I am not your friend-- that our friendship is forbidden?
28337Did Sylvia see him?
28337Did he leave any message?
28337Did he say anything regarding myself?
28337Did he see you?
28337Did she appear to be present there against her will?
28337Did you hear them address the lady?
28337Did you see her speak with any gentleman?
28337Do n''t you think you ought to go and tell the police at once?
28337Do you intend to cast a slur upon her?
28337Do you mean they would kill him openly?
28337Do you mean to imply that there is some conspiracy afoot against me?
28337Do you not remember that he was watching him in Manchester?
28337Do you really wish me to stay?
28337Does no work, I suppose?
28337Harriman was very smart, was he not?
28337Has Mr. Marlowe rung me up?
28337Have I not already told you the reason why no word of the actual facts may pass my lips?
28337Have n''t I already told you that I did not purposely follow you?
28337Have you any knowledge of a man-- a great friend of mine-- named Jack Marlowe?
28337Have you never stopped to wonder at the marvellous subtlety of human wickedness?
28337Have you no idea of the identity of the mysterious informant?
28337Have you not told me that you are Sylvia''s friend?
28337Have you seen Mr. Pennington of late?
28337He was in evening clothes?
28337How can we tell? 28337 How do I know that?"
28337How do you know all this?
28337How do you know that?
28337How do you know that?
28337How do you know that?
28337How do you know that?
28337How long is he likely to be?
28337How old was her companion?
28337How''s the girl?
28337How? 28337 I did not wish to cause you any anxiety, Owen,"was her simple reply, while her father asked--"Do you know the fellow?
28337I suppose Sylvia told you that I was in Manchester, and you came here to see me-- eh? 28337 I suppose you''ve never met a fellow called Pennington-- eh?
28337I was_ de trop_--eh?
28337I wonder why they are watching?
28337If I carry out your desires, I understand that I have your consent to pay my attentions to Sylvia?
28337If I fled, would you follow?
28337In Porchester Terrace?
28337In winter?
28337Is all well?
28337Is it against your own father that you are warning me?
28337Is not a thousand a small price to pay for the service we are prepared to render you-- to return to you your lost lady- love?
28337Is that an intended sarcasm?
28337Is that you, Owen? 28337 Is that you, Owen?"
28337Is that your opinion?
28337It''s rather curious, is n''t it?
28337May I not know?
28337May they not fear your reprisals?
28337My darling,I exclaimed,"why trouble yourself over what are merely melancholy fancies?
28337No doubt he is expected, if the lady called to see him?
28337No one has revealed to you the reason-- eh?
28337No-- surely-- you wo n''t do that? 28337 Not even if we bring the girl here-- to you?"
28337Not to save your own life?
28337Nothing very extraordinary in that, surely? 28337 Now then, what are you doing here?"
28337Oh, well, if it is your distinct wish, how can I refuse, dear?
28337Perhaps you do not desire to entertain company yet?
28337Remember I-- I am poor, while you are wealthy, and----"What does that matter, pray? 28337 So long as what?"
28337Sonia dear,he said quietly, turning to his daughter,"will you leave me for a few moments?
28337Sylvia loves you-- a perfect stranger?
28337Sylvia,I said slowly at last,"have you learnt anything-- anything fresh which has awakened these strange apprehensions of yours?"
28337Sylvia,I said tenderly at last, again taking her hand in mine,"why can not you be open and frank with me?"
28337Sylvia,I said, turning to the pale girl standing trembling at my side,"will you not speak?
28337Tell me in what manner an attempt has been made upon you?
28337Tell me, Monsieur Delanne,I said,"for what reason have you followed me to London?"
28337Tell me, will you not break down this strange invisible barrier which you have set up between us? 28337 Tell me,"I urged in deep earnestness,"others have been entrapped in that dark house-- have they not?
28337That''s all you know of her?
28337The truth of what?
28337Then Poland is a noteworthy man in the world of crime?
28337Then he''s not quite insane?
28337Then how did you escape?
28337Then perhaps you''ll write it?
28337Then the bogus collector was the thief, I suppose?
28337Then they were on their way to meet somebody or other-- eh?
28337Then what do you anticipate from those men, Reckitt and Forbes?
28337Then who has seen them?
28337Then why does she not tell me?
28337Then you actually know nothing concerning these people?
28337Then you are of opinion that my wife left me in order to secure my protection from harm?
28337Then you are quite certain it was she-- eh, Jack?
28337Then you did n''t go to Lady Medland''s garden- party?
28337Then you know her-- eh?
28337Then you know him?
28337Then you know my name?
28337Then you really intend to reveal the secret of that house in Porchester Terrace?
28337There''s never been anybody going in or out-- eh?
28337They gave you no indication as to their destination, I suppose?
28337They what?
28337Upon what charge, sir?
28337Was I not at the bank when the cheque was cashed?
28337Was it for the purpose of concealing her identity from the foreigners, do you think?
28337Was it not you yourself who addressed me?
28337Was one of them stout and wore gold- rimmed glasses?
28337Well, M''sieur Guertin,I exclaimed, addressing the stout man in gold pince- nez in rather a severe tone,"and what, pray, do you want with me?"
28337Well, and what further did you see at this early morning consultation?
28337Well, it furnishes a motive, does it not?
28337Well, perhaps somebody has really been buried here-- eh?
28337Well, tell me frankly,I said,"who is this secret enemy of mine?"
28337Well, what do they now intend?
28337Well, what happened then?
28337Well, you recollect our conversation on the last occasion you were here?
28337Well,I exclaimed impatiently, halting again,"now, what is it that you really know?
28337Well?
28337Well?
28337Were they the police?
28337What are you doing, you blackguards?
28337What are you saying? 28337 What can mar our happiness when we both trust each other-- when we both love each other, and our two hearts beat as one?"
28337What did he say? 28337 What do you know of Edmund Shuttleworth?"
28337What do you know of him?
28337What do you know of that?
28337What do you know?
28337What do you mean, Owen?
28337What do you think of it?
28337What do you want with me?
28337What does all this mean?
28337What does my wife concern you, pray, sir?
28337What does your father say to such acquaintances?
28337What girl?
28337What girl?
28337What harm have I done? 28337 What horror?
28337What is for Sylvia''s sake?
28337What is it? 28337 What is it?"
28337What is the reason of all this? 28337 What is there really to fear?
28337What is your income?
28337What kind of car was it?
28337What makes you expect this?
28337What makes you suggest that the attempt was due to my affection for Sylvia?
28337What means did they employ?
28337What motive could I have to follow you-- a perfect stranger?
28337What part did Sylvia play in the affair, may I ask?
28337What right has he to forbid our affection?
28337What right?
28337What sort of people?
28337What things?
28337What was the man like?
28337What will the people say?
28337What would the parson think if he knew who I am, and the charge against me? 28337 What''s the latest story afloat concerning the place?"
28337What''s the use of discussing the business further? 28337 What''s up?"
28337What, now, could be more indigestible than our English roast beef and plum pudding-- eh?
28337What, that hole?
28337What? 28337 What?"
28337When did you see him last?
28337When shall we meet in London?
28337When?
28337Where are they now?
28337Where are you going?
28337Where did you address them?
28337Where did you drive them?
28337Where do you live?
28337Where does he live?
28337Where have you seen him before?
28337Where is Marlowe?
28337Where is he now? 28337 Where is he?"
28337Where is he?
28337Where is her father?
28337Where is my poor wife?
28337Where is she?
28337Where is your father?
28337Where is your father?
28337Where is your home?
28337Where''s a lantern? 28337 Where?"
28337Who are these enemies of mine?
28337Who are they? 28337 Who are they?"
28337Who are you?
28337Who are you?
28337Who can fathom human enmity, or the ingenious cunning of the evil- doer?
28337Who is he?
28337Who is she?
28337Who is that man?
28337Who knows? 28337 Who knows?
28337Who knows? 28337 Who was he?"
28337Who was it?
28337Why are you friendly with them?
28337Why are you interested in me?
28337Why are you not open and frank with me? 28337 Why did I not recognize it before?
28337Why did he spy upon us?
28337Why did she send you away from her side?
28337Why did you not tell me this before?
28337Why do those men still intend that I shall die?
28337Why do you ask this?
28337Why do you speak so strangely? 28337 Why have you not heeded my words last night?
28337Why in hers?
28337Why not now? 28337 Why not?"
28337Why recall unpleasant facts?
28337Why should I admit what is not the truth?
28337Why should I give you a thousand pounds?
28337Why should I leave here? 28337 Why should I recall them?"
28337Why should Mr. Biddulph be mystified further? 28337 Why should it be injudicious?
28337Why should you do that? 28337 Why should your curiosity have been aroused concerning me?
28337Why? 28337 Why?
28337Why?
28337Why?
28337Why?
28337Why?
28337Why?
28337Why?
28337Why?
28337Why?
28337Why?
28337Why?
28337Why?
28337Will you not dare to do it-- for my sake?
28337Will you not give me your promise? 28337 Will you not promise to be mine?
28337Will you not take my advice and get back to England at once?
28337Will you not take my advice and leave by that? 28337 Would my friendship be so repugnant to you, then?"
28337Yet why have I aroused their animosity? 28337 You are prepared to face arrest-- eh?"
28337You can not deny that you know that pair of criminals, Reckitt and Forbes?
28337You did n''t ring me up about one o''clock this morning, did you?
28337You did n''t stay there?
28337You do n''t know the name, then?
28337You have n''t heard cabs stopping outside at night, for instance?
28337You know Althorp House, of course?
28337You know her-- eh?
28337You know him-- eh?
28337You mean that you doubt us, eh?
28337You remember what I told you?
28337You saw nothing of what went on at their mysterious meeting?
28337You swear to say nothing?
28337You took no note of the number of either of the three cars which came, I suppose?
28337You would know the driver?
28337You''ve never heard of cabs stopping there at night?
28337''Ow can''e?
28337A stoutish, dark- haired man with a baldish head and a reddish face?"
28337Am I not perfectly honest with you?"
28337Am I not, after all, a mere stranger?"
28337And I-- I''ve wondered whether you, on your part, can ever entertain a spark of affection for me?"
28337And Sonia has told you the rest, I suppose?''
28337And as she lifted her eyes to mine she replied--"Perhaps-- who knows?"
28337And how many poor helpless victims had felt the serpent''s fang and breathed their last in that fatal chair I now occupied?
28337And there are life assurances, of course?
28337And why was he making secret inquiry concerning myself?
28337And yet had not that selfsame man declared that she, having betrayed him, was to meet the same terrible fate as that prepared for me?
28337And yet, for what reason?
28337And yet, had she not rescued me from the serpent''s fang?
28337And, chief of all, who was that man Lewis who addressed her in such endearing terms?
28337And, indeed, why should she, in face of her letter of farewell?
28337Are not some of our wealthiest financiers mere criminals who, by dealing in thousands, as other men deal in francs, conceal their criminal methods?
28337Are you going to sign the cheque, or not?"
28337As she uttered those words, Felix entered the room, saying in an agitated voice--"May I speak with you alone, m''sieur?"
28337Ask yourself if you are not injudicious in making this declaration-- to a woman like myself?"
28337At last, after a long silence, Poland asked in as cool a voice as he could--"What causes you to suspect that Sonia knows anything?"
28337Biddulph?"
28337Biddulph?"
28337Biddulph?"
28337But can not you see that while you live you are a menace to their dastardly plans?
28337But could you be so generous, I wonder, if you knew the actual truth?
28337But did I not warn you?"
28337But how?
28337But what view did the inspector hold?"
28337But why had he returned so suddenly from Riva?
28337But, to you who know the north Italian lakes, why need I describe it?
28337By the way, how long have you known Monsieur Penning- ton?"
28337By what right does this man speak thus?
28337CHAPTER THREE THE CLERGYMAN FROM HAMPSHIRE What was the meaning of it all?
28337Can any man who really loves a woman believe ill of her?
28337Can not you get to some place where you are not liable to be taken back to France?"
28337Can not you tell me the motive of that dastardly attack?"
28337Can you come here?
28337Could he expose his real self in all his naked shame; dare he speak in confidence to Edmund Shuttleworth?
28337Could it be that Pennington himself-- her own father-- was implicated in this shameful method of obtaining money and closing the lips of the victims?
28337Could it be that she had learned of my peril, released me, killed the venomous reptile, and escaped?
28337Could it be that this strange foreigner was purposely misleading me?
28337Could it be, I wondered, that this Frenchman was a friend of the shrewd and unscrupulous New Yorker?
28337Could it have been Sylvia Pennington?
28337Dare he reveal the ghastly truth, and place the seal of the confessional upon his lips?
28337Dare the authorities re- open the question, and allege assassination?
28337Did he intend to use this knowledge in order to secure his assistance in this latest dastardly scheme?
28337Did it belong to her?
28337Did she believe that I pitied her?
28337Did she fear that he might forbid our marriage?
28337Did she fear that she herself would be implicated in a series of dark and terrible crimes?
28337Did you not put to me questions which I have answered?
28337Do n''t you recollect that I sat alone opposite you in the restaurant of the Grand at Gardone?"
28337Do you deny that?"
28337Do you expect to hear from him?"
28337Do you know him?"
28337Do you love me?"
28337Do you see that man with the short dark overcoat standing under the lamp over there?
28337Ever seen him before, Sylvia?"
28337For what?
28337From what?
28337Had I not acted like a fool?
28337Had I not been warned by Shuttleworth, and also by Sylvia herself, of another secret attempt upon my life?
28337Had I really been a fool to marry her, after all?
28337Had Sylvia been in this room when she had shrieked?
28337Had Sylvia wilfully concealed the fact that her father travelled under the name of Du Cane, in order that I should not meet him?
28337Had he witnessed any of those nocturnal preparations-- or interments?
28337Had not Shuttleworth told me that the grave lay between my love and myself?
28337Had she a secret lover?
28337Had she already dropped my name, and was now passing under an alias?
28337Had she not long ago admitted herself to be in some grave and mysterious danger?
28337Had she not warned me against this cunningly- devised trap, yet had I not foolishly fallen into it?
28337Had she, too, cleverly escaped by entering the shop, and passing out by another entrance?
28337Had she, while held prisoner in that old- fashioned drawing- room, been told of the awful fate to which I had been consigned?
28337Had that man referred to Sylvia?
28337Had they any connection with the weird mystery of that closed house in Porchester Terrace?
28337Had those brutes carried out their threat?
28337Had you found yourself in such a position, how would you have acted?
28337Had you met this strange man at night in St. James''s Park, would you have placed any faith in him?
28337Has he any right?"
28337Have a cigarette?"
28337Have you any idea?"
28337Have you ever heard any?"
28337Have you got it in the bank?
28337Have you seen Shuttleworth yet?''
28337Have you seen him?"
28337Have you thought of that matter?"
28337He contemplated flight, but, if he fled, whither should he go?
28337He said, too, that he knew my father-- eh?"
28337He was always extremely polite, always just a little sarcastic, and yet, was he not the associate of the man Reckitt?
28337He wonders whether you and I would care to go out there for a month or two?"
28337His quick eyes wandered around the room, then he added--"Meester Pennington is here; where is he?
28337How are you?"
28337How can I deny it?
28337How can a man tell why he loves?
28337How could Arnold have gained his knowledge?
28337How did they know of Jack Marlowe and his penchant for cards?
28337How many previous victims had sat in that fatal chair and awaited death as I was waiting, I wondered?
28337How many thousands of pounds had these men, Forbes and Reckitt, secured, I wondered?
28337How many victims had, like myself, sat there and been"bled"?
28337How much did he know?
28337How should I?
28337How would they dispose of my body, I lay wondering?
28337How''s the girl?"
28337I did not lose you the other morning-- on the contrary, you lost me-- didn''t you?"
28337I somehow fear----""Fear what?"
28337I suppose you are an ardent novel- reader-- eh?
28337I told her; then I heard her say to the gentleman,''If they are away before we reach there, what shall we do?''"
28337I-- I confess I----""You love her, eh?"
28337If Delanne was her father''s friend, why did the latter flee in such fear?
28337If there is a conspiracy against me, is it not your duty, as a friend, to reveal it?"
28337If there was repentance for her, was there not repentance for him?
28337In face of that, what more could I do?
28337In what manner had she deceived me?
28337Instead, I asked--"Have you ever met two men named Reckitt and Forbes, Jack?"
28337It seems really ages since we were at Gardone, does n''t it?"
28337Let''s go over and dig Marlowe out, eh?"
28337Marlowe?"
28337May I rely upon your secrecy?"
28337May we not drop it?
28337Might it not also be the grave wherein the bodies of their innocent victims were interred?
28337Mr. Shuttleworth does n''t know you are here, does he?"
28337Mr. Shuttleworth,"gasped Sylvia, now pale as death,"what are you saying?"
28337Need I say more, except to tell you that our great overwhelming love was mutual, and that our true hearts beat in unison?
28337Of the rest, what need be said?
28337Or was he merely evading the necessity of discussing the matter?
28337PROLOGUE I IS MAINLY SCANDALOUS"And he died mysteriously?"
28337Pennington-- eh?"
28337Pennington?"
28337Perhaps you''ll play a game of tennis presently?"
28337Personally, I, too, should soon grow tired of a country life; and yet how could I grow tired of life with you, my own darling, at my side?"
28337Remember me to your father when you write, wo n''t you?"
28337Shall I tell you why?"
28337She had left there, no doubt, for was she not a constant wanderer?
28337She has n''t a maid, I suppose?"
28337She was n''t at home with you on that day, was she?"
28337Should I follow?
28337Should I reveal to him the truth?
28337Should I take her advice and leave Gardone, or should I remain on my guard, and hand them over to the police at first sign of attack?
28337Shuttleworth-- eh?"
28337Shuttleworth?"
28337Some are distinctly quaint, are they not?"
28337Still, if I returned, what could I do?
28337Surely there is no friend better for a lonely man than a good woman?"
28337Surely you read reports of the trial?"
28337Surely you realize that?"
28337The Government are not anxious that the scandal should be made public, eh?"
28337The men had told me that no sound could be heard beyond those walls, yet had I not heard Sylvia''s shrieks?
28337The thoroughfare was lined with carriages, for was it not the height of the London season?
28337Then I asked--"You''ve never known a person named Shuttleworth-- Edmund Shuttleworth?
28337Then I turned to my well- beloved and asked--"What is the truth?
28337Then presently he rose impatiently, and, crossing the room, exclaimed--"How long are we to be humbugged like this?
28337Then she answered--"How can you love me?
28337Then you really admit that there have been other victims?"
28337Then your enemies have arisen because of your engagement to the girl-- eh?"
28337This was not a chance meeting-- was it?"
28337Trial will mean exposure, and----""And my exposure will mean the downfall and ruin of those political thieves now in power-- eh?"
28337Upon the floor was found something-- a cigar-- eh?"
28337Was I a fool, that I loved Sylvia Pennington with such an all- absorbing passion?
28337Was he an associate of Reckitt and Forbes, as I had once suspected?
28337Was he at the Midland while I was there?"
28337Was he really the man who came there to suggest suicide in preference to arrest, or had that strange suggestion been conveyed by Guertin himself?
28337Was it a mere coincidence, or had he, too, betrayed a collusion with those mean blackguards who had put me to that horrible torture?
28337Was it of that most ingenious and dastardly plot she had warned me?
28337Was it some signal to the watchers outside?
28337Was not her stout, bald- headed father the modern incarnation of the Wandering Jew?
28337Was she already dead-- stricken down by the fatal fang?
28337Was she suffering the same fearful agony of mind as myself?
28337Was that Mr. Du Cane?"
28337Was that woman Sylvia herself?
28337Was this Frenchman one of them?
28337Was this the truth?
28337Was yet another attempt to be made upon me, as Shuttleworth had so mysteriously predicted?
28337We are happy in each other''s love; therefore why should we anticipate evil?
28337Were they talking secrets?
28337What are they like?"
28337What bodies of other previous victims lay there interred?
28337What can I get you?"
28337What could it mean?
28337What could possibly be the solution of the mystery?
28337What could this man know of my well- beloved?
28337What could this mean?
28337What danger threatens me?"
28337What did he know?
28337What did he mean?
28337What did it all mean?
28337What did she know?
28337What did she mean?
28337What did that mean?
28337What do I care-- why, pray, should you forbid my actions?"
28337What do you mean?"
28337What further piece of chicanery had they been guilty of, I wondered?
28337What had I possibly to fear?
28337What had I to do with him?
28337What had been intended by the foreigner?
28337What had happened to Sylvia?
28337What had happened to Sylvia?
28337What had happened?
28337What had happened?
28337What have I done?"
28337What is he?"
28337What is his real name, then?"
28337What is the use of affecting ignorance?"
28337What is your motive?"
28337What more could I desire?
28337What mystery surrounded her?
28337What should I do?
28337What sin had Sylvia Pennington confessed to him?
28337What sinister motive could such a man possess?
28337What specific charge do you bring against this lady?
28337What time shall you be in at White''s?"
28337What was he like?"
28337What was the secret held by that grey- faced country parson?
28337What were the"sensational revelations"promised?
28337What will he say afterwards, I wonder?"
28337What would you profit by arresting me?"
28337What''s that?"
28337What''s the game?"
28337What''s this?"
28337Whatever ails you?
28337Where are you?"
28337Where are you?"
28337Where could he hide successfully?
28337Where had she been after receiving that secret message, I wondered?
28337Where has your father gone?"
28337Where was Pennington, that he did not rescue her?
28337Where was Sylvia?
28337Where was she, I wondered?
28337Where was that?"
28337Who is he?"
28337Who is he?"
28337Who knows?
28337Who was he?
28337Who was she?
28337Who was this man Lewis-- or Louis-- with whom my wife had escaped?
28337Who was this man, I wondered?
28337Who was this secret lover, I wondered?
28337Who were Pennington''s friends, that he should meet them in so secret a manner?
28337Who were her mysterious friends?
28337Who were his friends, I wondered?
28337Who were the unknown enemies of mine who were conspiring against me?
28337Who''s she?"
28337Whom could the stranger be?
28337Why all this mystery?"
28337Why clandestinely?
28337Why did you go up there-- so far north-- in winter?"
28337Why do you hide so many things from me still-- about our past?
28337Why do you say this?"
28337Why had Sylvia uttered those screams of horror?
28337Why had he implored me to save him?
28337Why had he pointed to the garden and laughed so hilariously?
28337Why had her friend, that thin- faced country clergyman, called?
28337Why had she been there?
28337Why had she made that signal from the theatre- box to her accomplice?
28337Why had she so purposely left me?
28337Why had that tall, mysterious stranger watched so intently?
28337Why had the stranger so suddenly become interested in me?
28337Why had these men formed this plot against me?
28337Why have you not left?
28337Why not ask mademoiselle?
28337Why should I fear the unknown?"
28337Why should I not remain here in defiance?"
28337Why should I trouble?
28337Why should any one be my bitter enemy?"
28337Why should he meet his business friends so clandestinely-- why should they come at night in a car to cross- roads?
28337Why should this man Delanne, the friend of Reckitt and no doubt a member of a gang of blackmailers and assassins, openly pursue him to the death?
28337Why was this worthy country rector, living the quiet life of a remote Hampshire village, in such constant communication with a band of thieves?
28337Why were you there?"
28337Why, however, should he interest himself in me?
28337Why?
28337Why?
28337Why?
28337Why?"
28337Why?"
28337Will you be there?"
28337Will you come?"
28337Will you not forget it-- if you really are my friend?"
28337Will you not tell me what all this means?
28337Will you wait for me?
28337Will you, or will you not, tell me who the fellow is?"
28337Would they have kept faith with me?
28337Yet are not philosophers merely soured cynics, after all?
28337Yet had I not fallen into that trap in utter disregard of Sylvia''s warning?
28337Yet had she not implored me not to do so?
28337Yet might there not, after all, have been some foundation in truth in what they had said?
28337Yet was she not in peril?
28337Yet were they not absolute blackguards?
28337Yet why was he in such earnest consultation with the mysterious Sylvia?
28337Yet-- yet it is upon such a serious matter that I hesitate-- fearing----""Fearing what?"
28337You have never been there, I suppose?
28337You met her there, perhaps-- eh?"
28337You surely are n''t going to allow her to stand in your way and prevent you from participating in what is real good solid business-- eh?
28337You understand?"
28337You understand?"
28337You understand?"
28337You will excuse my absence, wo n''t you?"
28337You will promise me that-- upon your word of honour?"
28337You''ll understand, wo n''t you?"
28337have I not already explained the reason why-- why I dare not allow you to show undue friendship towards me?"
28337how can I thank you sufficiently?
28337so he''s of use to you?"
28337will you not take heed of what I have told you?"
28480A letter from the boy.... Open it, will you? 28480 About your ideas, I suppose?"
28480Alone?
28480And do you trust him?
28480And have n''t you tried to find out?
28480And my children?
28480And my poor father was not able to escape?
28480And suppose we are beaten, in spite of all?
28480And suppose we are beaten?
28480And suppose you do n''t reach Paris?
28480And the others?
28480And what about me? 28480 And what about the gendarmes?"
28480And what about the money? 28480 And what do you think happened to me?"
28480And what is the general feeling?
28480And what is your opinion?
28480And what then?
28480And where did you come from? 28480 And who tells you,"shouted Morestal,"who tells you that that hour is not exactly the one hour which we shall want to gain?...
28480And you have n''t been told yet?
28480And you want it all over again?
28480And you went to bed at once?
28480And you, Farmer Saboureux? 28480 And you, Marthe?"
28480And you, Poussière, what would you say if we went to war?
28480And you, Suzanne, what are you thinking about? 28480 And you, tramp?"
28480And your master never forgets to turn the key, does he?
28480And, to the right of that tree, a little lower down, an empty space surrounded by fir- trees?
28480And... so far... you approve?
28480Are n''t we deserting?
28480Are n''t you afraid of being mixed up in an affair?...
28480Are there any more of our men behind you?
28480Are there many of them?
28480Are they coming?
28480Are you coming, Philippe?
28480Are you going?
28480Are you ill?
28480Are you making a resistance?
28480Are you suggesting that the fear of that ought to influence France in her conduct?
28480Are you sure? 28480 Are you sure?"
28480Are you sure?
28480Besides, is the business so very serious?
28480But have n''t you seen the papers? 28480 But in Paris?
28480But what do they want, when all is said?
28480But what makes you think...?
28480But what proofs do they put forward?
28480But you heard the shots fired?...
28480But you withdraw from the case?
28480But, if he wanted to be divorced?
28480But, if it should be too late? 28480 But, if we do n''t succeed in proving it?"
28480But... but where is she now?...
28480Come, M. Jorancé.... Come, Marthe.... What''s the matter? 28480 Come, Philippe,"asked Marthe,"what''s underneath this?
28480Did he tell you nothing?
28480Did n''t you hear a sort of a hoot?
28480Did the cyclists catch you up?
28480Did you hear?
28480Do n''t you know?... 28480 Do n''t you see a tree standing out above the others, with lighter foliage?"
28480Do n''t you see yourself toppling it over and having the police down upon you?... 28480 Do you love Philippe very much?"
28480Do you mean it?
28480Do you mind if I finish my letters?
28480Do you think he has gone over to the other side?
28480Do you think so? 28480 Do you think so?"
28480Does she know the truth?
28480Dourlowski?
28480Eh, what?
28480Eh? 28480 Face the possibility of defeat?"
28480Has M. Philippe gone out too?
28480Have they crossed the frontier?
28480Have you discovered anything?
28480Have you said good- bye to Suzanne?
28480Henriot?
28480How are he and I to understand each other henceforth? 28480 How can I tell?"
28480How dare you?
28480How do you know? 28480 How do you know?"
28480How do you mean, Philippe?
28480How do you mean, no?
28480How do you mean, no?
28480How do you mean, sir? 28480 How do you mean?
28480How so?
28480I do n''t forget it... only, what''s the good? 28480 I know... only...""Only what?"
28480I need not, need I?
28480I suppose you know, mamma, that Philippe is not yet up?
28480I too?
28480If so...?
28480In that case, what would you do?
28480Is Suzanne here?
28480Is Suzanne there?
28480Is he back?
28480Is it really credible? 28480 Is n''t it so, Philippe?
28480Is n''t it terrible?
28480It''s not a serious wound, I hope?
28480Just so; but how he is to reach the frontier? 28480 Last evening?
28480Let''s go by the road, shall we?
28480Look here, what''s the matter with you to- day? 28480 May I tell you, Philippe?"
28480May I?
28480More Uhlans burning and sacking?... 28480 My opinion?
28480Next?
28480Not even war?
28480Of farewell?
28480Oh, Suzanne, how can you think it?
28480Ought n''t we to make preparations, here? 28480 Philippe and I will walk... and we''ll do the same coming home, wo n''t we, my boy?"
28480Philippe and Marthe?
28480Philippe too?...
28480Really?
28480Seen what? 28480 Shots?"
28480So that was why you did not answer when I called to you, half- way up the hill?
28480So they are beginning all over again?
28480So you regret nothing?
28480So...?
28480Still, you ought to take something...."Take something? 28480 Still, you spent some time in the reserve?"
28480Still..."What?
28480Suppose the enemy invade us?
28480Suppose we turned back?
28480The German post... at the Butte- aux- Loups...."Knocked down?
28480The Old Mill?
28480The new line to Switzerland? 28480 The others?...
28480The parish- priest?
28480The parson?
28480Then I must cancel your evidence and rely upon the unshaken testimony of M. Morestal: is that it?
28480Then how is it that your bed has not been touched?
28480Then this paper?... 28480 Then what was the good of all your fuss and bothering?
28480Then what? 28480 Then where were you?"
28480Then where were you?
28480Then why conceal it? 28480 Then why did you state the contrary, monsieur?"
28480Then you were behind us at the time of the attack?
28480Then,asked Le Corbier,"why does M. Philippe Morestal act as he is doing now?"
28480There are too many of them.... We''re falling back...."But, in that case,_ they_ will be coming?
28480There''s no hurry...."Yes, there is...."Why?
28480They have n''t hurt them?
28480They look very well: what do you say?
28480Through whom did he know it?
28480To take which train?
28480To your father?
28480Venus or Minerva? 28480 Victor, why is n''t your master''s cane here?"
28480Was it the first time that the fellow made the attempt?...
28480Was n''t it guarded?
28480Was she there just now?...
28480Well, did you? 28480 Well, sonny?
28480Well, what is it, Daspry?
28480Well, what then? 28480 Well, what''s this?"
28480Well, what?
28480Well?
28480Well?
28480Well?
28480Well?
28480What about Marthe?
28480What about Philippe?
28480What about it?
28480What are you doing?
28480What are you saying, you villain? 28480 What are you saying?
28480What are you saying?
28480What can he have been doing all night? 28480 What country do you belong to, to begin with?"
28480What do I care? 28480 What do you say it is, then?
28480What do you say, Saboureux?
28480What does it matter?
28480What for? 28480 What for?"
28480What have you seen?
28480What is it? 28480 What makes you say that?"
28480What nonsense are you talking now?
28480What''s that?
28480What''s the matter, Marthe? 28480 What''s the matter, father?"
28480What''s the matter?
28480What''s the news?
28480What''s to become of us?
28480What? 28480 What?"
28480What?
28480What?
28480Where to?
28480Where would you have her go? 28480 Where?
28480Where? 28480 Which cyclists?"
28480Which do you like best, Jacques or Paul?
28480Which is that?
28480Who is that?
28480Who is that?
28480Who will prove the violation?
28480Who''s at the town- hall?
28480Who? 28480 Who?
28480Who?
28480Whom have you been talking about?
28480Why do you ask, mother?
28480Why should it never be? 28480 Why should she admit it, if it is not true?"
28480Why should she not admit it, if peace should be the outcome?
28480Why? 28480 Why?
28480Why?
28480Why?
28480Why?
28480Why?
28480Will they tend to lessen the importance of my father''s statements?
28480Will you really come?
28480With Weisslicht? 28480 Wo n''t you answer either?
28480Wo n''t you try and sleep a little?
28480Would n''t you go for a divorce?
28480Yes,he said, awkwardly and not quite knowing what he was saying,"yes, you are like her.... And is this also...?"
28480Yes... it''s declared...."By whom?
28480You again, Dourlowski...."Can I come?
28480You came back by the frontier?
28480You certify this on your honour?
28480You do n''t answer?
28480You know nothing?
28480You mean that monsieur le ministre can and must abide by my declarations?
28480You mean that, do n''t you?
28480You think not, my boy? 28480 You think so?"
28480You think that my father...?
28480You, Saboureux?
28480Your father will come to fetch you here, wo n''t he, Philippe?
28480Your personal grief must make way...."What are you saying?
28480*** As soon as they were alone, Morestal, who was thinking much more about his evidence than about Philippe''s words, asked, casually:"Is it private?"
28480***"Are you glad to be here?"
28480***"Ready to start, Philippe?"
28480A bit tired, I admit, but quite presentable.... Well, what do you say to old Morestal now, eh?"
28480A long silence divided the two women; and Marthe said:"You''re in one of your wicked moods to- day, Suzanne, are n''t you?"
28480A man of his age..."Philippe went up to her, in an instinctive burst of confidence:"You know I''m going, mother?"
28480A sharp lad like that?..."
28480A signal?"
28480A woman: is that what you mean?
28480After a few seconds, Le Corbier asked:"Is that all?"
28480Against what foe?
28480Am I to deny the truth in order to please them?"
28480An army of deserters and renegades...."Suzanne said, in a low voice:"May I have your arm, Philippe?"
28480An enormous laugh rolled from under his moustache:"Morestal?
28480And Marthe clung to him, pitilessly:"Do you hear, Philippe?
28480And Philippe heard the following dialogue, with its swift and anxious questions and answers:"Is that you, Daspry?"
28480And Philippe, who had never ceased watching him, replied, within himself:"Why not, father?
28480And Suzanne, in her turn:"Papa?"
28480And an interview with Philippe might have fatal results.... What can one reply to that?"
28480And be quiet, you, I''ve had enough of it.... Philippe, is the doctor coming?"
28480And could he help it that all this filled him with an emotion which every minute that passed made more profound?
28480And get the carriage ready, Victor, do you hear?
28480And he almost ran to fetch the young man in and plied him with questions:"Did you speak to the prime minister?
28480And he said to Philippe:"Have you heard the news?
28480And how can I submit to his?"
28480And is that a helmet or a turban on her head?"
28480And it is you yourself, is it not, who, by your definite attitude, close the discussion?"
28480And my son, the youngest, who is with his regiment?...
28480And old Morestal shouted, long before entering the room:"Where are you, Suzanne?
28480And she ended, ingenuously enough:"Then, if you love me, why do you repel me?
28480And the alarming rumours that were current?
28480And the other, who is in the reserve?...
28480And what was the purport of the ultimatum?
28480And who can tell?
28480And why that old- fashioned dress?...
28480And you came back straight?"
28480And you think, mother, that they''ll leave him at home to pluck the geese?
28480And, a little further, Morestal took up the thread:"And over there, do you remember?
28480And, addressing his lieutenant, he added,"It would have been madness to stay over there, would n''t it, Fabrègues?
28480And, besides, will he ever forgive her?"
28480And, if so, which?
28480And, in fact, Morestal, the moment he entered, ran up to him and took him by the collar of his jacket:"What are you doing here?
28480And, in spite of herself, although urged by a very definite feeling, she stood up before him like an obstacle:"Where are you going?"
28480And, suddenly seizing M. de Trébons by the arm, he said, in a choking voice:"I say, there''s not going to be a war, is there?
28480And, turning to his son, he said to him, quite naturally, as though nothing had ever parted them:"Are you coming, Philippe?
28480And, when he learnt besides that Philippe had received the last words of Baufeld the deserter, he burst out:"You saw him?
28480Are n''t you coming?"
28480Are we going to stay here?
28480Are we going to war?
28480Are you coming, Jorancé?
28480Are you giving false evidence now?
28480Are you hit?"
28480Are you sure of getting through?"
28480Are you sure?"
28480Arnauld?
28480As Philippe put no question to him, Marthe asked:"Are you satisfied, father?"
28480As the door was not locked, it means either that the master has gone out... or else....""Or else what?"
28480At last, Marthe, who had no suspicions, but who was worrying her head about Philippe''s falsehood, resumed:"At what time did you come in last night?"
28480At last, she said:"You are not going at once, are you?"
28480At two steps from the frontier?"
28480At what I was learning?
28480Bad news?"
28480Besides, of what use was speech?
28480Besides...""Yes?"
28480Brought face to face with an eventuality which he had often contemplated, what line of conduct would he pursue?
28480But I, I, I... what can I do?
28480But a young man came towards them, carrying under his arm a portfolio bulging with papers:"M. Philippe Morestal, I believe?
28480But are you staying behind, Suzanne?"
28480But before Marthe?...
28480But by what miracle...?
28480But could he help it that she had fair hair, the colour of which bewitched him, and quivering lips and a voice melodious as a song?
28480But he did not think of this; and he declared, in a firm tone:"Well, yes, I was there... or, at least, not far off....""And you heard the shots?"
28480But he gave a gesture as though, after all, he was rather pleased than otherwise at this accident and he asked M. de Trébons:"Did you hear?"
28480But how could he have foreseen this one, not knowing that Marthe would be present at that last and greatest interview?
28480But how could they have thought of hunting for me six miles away, in the Val de Sainte- Marie, right in the middle of the Forest of Arzance?
28480But how did you come to want two bedrooms?"
28480But how did you come?
28480But how was Le Corbier to find out?
28480But how was it laid?
28480But how?
28480But in what respect would death have settled things?
28480But is one''s intelligence everything?...
28480But it''ll keep until presently, wo n''t it?"
28480But it''s over now, is it not?
28480But not just yet, are you?
28480But now...""But now?..."
28480But our eldest, Henriot, who''s sixteen: do you think they''ll forget him?"
28480But our meeting with the soldier, the pursuit... he must have told you that all this took place in France?"
28480But tell me, Suzanne, are n''t you going away?"
28480But then why tell that lie?
28480But there is nothing in the world so hard... because the other... the other one does not want to.... And besides...""What?"
28480But treachery, lying...""You would not forgive him?"
28480But why is she fighting?
28480But why waste words?
28480But why?
28480But you yourself, Marthe: would n''t you like love to fill a greater place in your life?"
28480But, all the same... do n''t you think we ought to face the possibility?..."
28480But, as she was opening the door, she stopped, reflected and said:"You are going back to Paris, are you not?
28480But, for the moment, monsieur, would you mind?...
28480But, if it be once more proved on our side that the arrest took place on French soil and if Germany refuse to yield, what will happen then?"
28480But, if they refuse, if they believe the policemen''s lies, what will happen then?
28480But, no, as a professor, you''re exempt, are n''t you?"
28480But, suddenly going to his wife, he seized her by the arm and said, in a hollow voice:"Would you like to know what I really think?"
28480But, suddenly, she began to rummage among the canes and sunshades, muttering:"Well, that''s funny....""What''s the matter?"
28480Can anything have happened to him?...
28480Can you tell me?"
28480Can you understand it?
28480Corinne perhaps?"
28480Depressed?"
28480Did he not know that his absence had been discovered?
28480Did n''t I tell you so from the beginning, Philippe?
28480Did n''t you come straight back?"
28480Did not his mother''s emotion prove him absolutely right?
28480Do n''t let Marthe suspect....""Do you think...?"
28480Do n''t you feel the wounds they are giving her... the wounds they intend to give her?..."
28480Do n''t you see that your master''s asleep?"
28480Do you have separate rooms now?"
28480Do you imagine that there is nothing in the world but love?"
28480Do you know anything?"
28480Do you mean to say you still speak to that dastard?"
28480Do you propose to keep me here indefinitely?..."
28480Do you still see that rogue of a Dourlowski?"
28480Do you think they''ll doubt the word of honest men like us?
28480Do you understand what I was trying to do, the other day?
28480Do you understand?
28480Dr. Borel tried to argue with her:"This is all very well, but where are you going?"
28480Duvauchel began to laugh:"You too, sonnie?
28480Enough of these jeremiads: what say you, Suzanne?...
28480For everything depends upon their humour, their impression, the state of their nerves, does it not, Philippe?"
28480For what mad love of glory?
28480For whom?
28480France, eh?
28480Go, my boy.... Write to me often....""Wo n''t you kiss me, mother?"
28480Goodness gracious me, of what?"
28480Ha, what do you say to that, my boy?
28480Had he as much as heard?
28480Had he deliberately and falsely given rise to the suspicion of some amorous meeting?
28480Had he really thought of ruining her in order that he might be saved?
28480Had he taken a resolution?
28480Has n''t the doctor been?
28480Have I the right to rob him of the least affectionate word?"
28480Have n''t you a word to answer to that liar?"
28480Have n''t you heard that they''re beginning to accuse me of encouraging the German deserters?"
28480Have you anything to do with him?"
28480Have you the least idea where you hail from?
28480He asked:"And what is she the goddess of to- day?"
28480He asked:"Must I cut my roses?
28480He barred the way to his wife, as she entered the room again, and roared in her face:"Do you know why Napoleon lost the battle of Waterloo?"
28480He began to laugh:"Shall I tell you what would be the thing for him?
28480He did not understand at first:"What is it, Suzanne?"
28480He grasped it with a sort of despair:"Who would ever have told me...?"
28480He grunted:"Do n''t know much about it... it''s so long ago....""Which do you like best?
28480He looked Philippe in the face:"What do you say?"
28480He protested:"Rest?
28480He replied:"What interest can that have for you?"
28480He said to Philippe:"Is M. Morestal still unwell?"
28480He said to her:"Do n''t you agree with me?
28480He said, simply:"And Marthe?"
28480He shut the door quickly and, returning to the special commissary, said:"Did you come by the frontier- road?"
28480He smiled:"That''s another way of saying that I''m boring you, eh?
28480He stood wrapped in thought and asked:"Has Marthe met her?"
28480He thought he saw a shadow hiding, thirty or forty yards away from him:"Did you see?"
28480He told you that they had set a trap for us, did n''t he?"
28480He took a sealed letter from his pocket and showed her the address:"_ To the Minister of Public Instruction._""What is in that letter?"
28480He took her hand and, sadly:"Oh, mother, how can you talk like that, you who know me?
28480He turned aside his head, to hide the flush that spread over his features, and he said:"Oh, she slept here, did she?"
28480He was afraid of an outburst:"As a matter of fact,"he said,"why should n''t I come?
28480He was alive?
28480He was nearly saying:"Do you understand, mother darling?...
28480He was speaking to the men:"Are they coming?"
28480He went back to old Morestal:"Are you quite sure that the arrest took place on French soil?"
28480He whispered, excitedly:"The French bugle....""Are you sure?"
28480He will confess to me that he is lying, that he is talking like that because he has to... or because he is mad... who knows?
28480He''s not the only man in the world, is he?
28480He''s the same strong chap he was.... And why did n''t you bring the boys?
28480Here, have you read this abomination?"
28480His country lies where the grub lies... eh, Poussière?"
28480How am I to know?
28480How can I be indifferent to all this break- up around me?"
28480How could I have?
28480How could I possibly go before knowing for certain?..."
28480How could I say such things as that to my father?"
28480How could she love you?
28480How dare you?"
28480How dare you?...
28480How far is it from Saint- Élophe to Langoux?"
28480How old are they now?
28480How was he to break through the circle which a cruel fate was doing its utmost to trace around him?
28480How was he to fathom that mysterious soul and read its insoluble riddle?
28480How will the people take it, on the other side of the Vosges?"
28480However, so much the better, sleep suits both of my men.... By the way, Marthe, did n''t the shooting wake you in the night?"
28480I feel better already.... You wo n''t leave me, will you, my little Suzanne?"
28480I knew... and you do n''t deny it, do you?...
28480I love you?...
28480I promised her father.... No one has a better right to live in this house.... Philippe''s not here, I suppose?"
28480I shall give Catherine formal orders that no one is to be admitted to the Old Mill.... Why, did you see how they report my escape?
28480I was too much upset.... How is he?"
28480I will go and prepare some bandages, get out the medicine- chest.... We have all that''s wanted.... Will you come, Marthe?"
28480I wo n''t allow it.... What do you know?...
28480I''ve turned him out.... And now I want Suzanne.... She shall nurse me... she alone, do you understand?..."
28480If it should no longer be possible to prevent anything?"
28480If you had listened to me...""If I had listened to you?..."
28480If you were compelled to confess?..."
28480In Paris?"
28480In short...""What?"
28480In the pay of which country?"
28480Instinctively, Philippe took up the other receiver:"May I?"
28480Is everything done?"
28480Is he afraid of war?"
28480Is it likely I should be mistaken?
28480Is it possible?"
28480Is it true, Philippe?"
28480Is it true?
28480Is it true?
28480Is n''t it ridiculous?
28480Is n''t it so, Poussière, you and I saw none of it?"
28480Is n''t that enough of conquests and triumphs?"
28480Is not your love for her the greater?"
28480Is she not intoxicated with successes and conquests?
28480Is that Noirmont?
28480Is that the way you welcome me home?"
28480It is absolutely certain.... What then?
28480It is very easy: where were you at that moment?"
28480It was Victor, whose excitement was increasing every moment and who asked him with a perplexed air:"What are we to do, M. Philippe?
28480It''s not about me, is it?"
28480It''s you... and yet it''s not you.... Who is it?"
28480It''s your country they are defending.... France is in danger.... Oh, does n''t your heart quiver like the heart of a son?
28480Jorancé could not help laughing:"Do you think that will stop the Prussians?"
28480Jorancé simply nodded to the Morestals and asked:"Suzanne?"
28480Jorancé?..."
28480Le Corbier concluded:"You mean to say that you will not accept your share of the responsibility?"
28480Le Corbier turned to the special commissary:"M. Jorancé, do you confirm this deposition?"
28480Lying flat on the grass, exactly as if it had been rooted up by last night''s storm....""What are you talking about?
28480M. Philippe Morestal, do you maintain the terms of your deposition, word for word?"
28480Marthe appeared astonished:"Suzanne?"
28480Marthe asked, from the further room:"What is it?"
28480Marthe felt all the importance which he attached to this little sentence; and, after a moment, she said:"Are you referring to me?"
28480Marthe rushed at them:"What''s happening?"
28480Marthe, suddenly dropping her accusing tone and shaking with anguish, rushed up to him and cried:"You have nothing to say?
28480May I shake you by the hand?"
28480Morestal also ran out and said:"What are you doing here?
28480Morestal appeared:"Where were you?
28480Morestal ended by bundling her off:"Hold your tongue, ca n''t you?
28480Morestal planted himself firmly in front of his son:"You''re of my way of thinking, I suppose?"
28480Morestal ran up to him:"Your father?"
28480Morestal started:"No?
28480Morestal started:"What''s that, Marthe?"
28480Morestal stopped in the doorway:"What is it, my boy?"
28480Morestal stopped to enjoy the effect which he had produced and then continued:"What do you say to it?"
28480Morestal took her to her daughter- in- law''s room and asked:"Philippe''s still asleep, is n''t he?"
28480Morestal, eager to go and keep his appointment with Captain Daspry, stood up:"Are you coming with us, Philippe?"
28480Morestal, my friend, make him answer... make him give his proofs.... And you, Suzanne, why do n''t you spit in his face?"
28480Morestal, who had finished dressing, chaffed him:"Is that all you wanted to say?"
28480Morestal?...
28480Much more so than Paul... do n''t you think?"
28480My Gloires de Dijon?"
28480My dear Trébons, is the motor at the cross- roads?"
28480My father evidently attached no importance to it; but it seems to me...""What do you mean?"
28480My head is in such a state, because of your father, that I did not think of it before....""What idea?
28480My wounds?
28480No one here is in the way... on the contrary.... Come, what is it?
28480O God, is it possible?"
28480Of the exact place?..."
28480On reaching the terrace, he raised his hand to his cap:"Can I see M. Morestal, please?"
28480On the other hand, how could he betray Suzanne?
28480Or do you think I ought to wait till to- morrow?..."
28480Or go away and shut up the house?
28480Or was he really carrying his heroism to the point of telling the truth?
28480Or was it on the former occasions?
28480Peace at the price of disgrace: that''s it, is it not?"
28480Philippe continued:"And you think, monsieur le ministre, that your report, thus modified, may have a decisive influence in Paris?"
28480Philippe fumed:"Well?
28480Philippe gave a start:"What are you saying, father?"
28480Philippe grew irritable:"Well, what has it to do with you?
28480Philippe, who retained some hope in spite of everything, flew at him:"War?"
28480Philippe?
28480Pointing to the frontier, the old man asked:"Are they there?"
28480Poor Suzanne, what interest could she have in remaining alone?..."
28480Presently, Philippe, who had not taken his eyes off his father, said:"And then, father?"
28480Prisoners?"
28480Quick, telephone to the doctor....""Is my father...?"
28480Seen what?"
28480Several times, he repeated, between his teeth:"Yes, this is certainly the place.... How could I be mistaken?"
28480She asked:"Where have you been?"
28480She barred his way:"Where are you going?"
28480She called out:"Can I come up?"
28480She continued:"Well, go.... What are you waiting for?
28480She hinted, with a certain feeling of apprehension:"Then you want to stay here?"
28480She lost her temper:"Tell him?
28480She murmured:"And, if he deceived you?"
28480She nodded her head with a thoughtful air:"Yes... you are right....""Do n''t you think so?
28480She replied:"You''re going?
28480She said to him:"Well, Philippe?"
28480She stammered:"Is it possible?
28480She took him into her room, shut the door and repeated, in a masterful tone:"Where are you going, Philippe?"
28480She waved her arms about:"Is it true?
28480She whispered:"Philippe.... Philippe...."Had he heard?
28480She will never see that kiss of love; for, after all, I do n''t suppose you intend to kiss me?"
28480Since when?
28480So they''ve been making free with your poultry, have they?
28480So you''ve made up your mind to get her married?"
28480Some poacher, I suppose....""Were M. Morestal and Philippe in?"
28480Suppose you saw to putting away my things?...
28480Suzanne pointed to a chair beside her, but he sat down by Marthe; and Marthe saw by his look that something had happened:"Have you spoken to him?"
28480Ten and nine, are n''t they?
28480That''s all very well; but do you know what a system of that sort leads to?
28480The Albern Woods?
28480The Butte- aux- Loups?
28480The Col du Diable?
28480The captain ran to meet the wounded man, who made an effort to stand on his legs:"What''s up, Duvauchel?
28480The comrades are waiting for me....""Then begin by getting your wound dressed....""My wound dressed?
28480The doctor?
28480The girl seemed not to hear the question and asked:"Is Marthe in her room, Philippe?"
28480The man ran into the hall:"Yes, ma''am?"
28480The military post?
28480The resignation of your professorship?"
28480The roads on this side?"
28480The truth comes first, surely?
28480The younger woman felt a certain bitterness and could not help saying:"Does he love you as much as you love him?"
28480Then I''ll bring him to the old barn in your little farm to- night... as I have done before....""Where is he at this moment?"
28480Then you have n''t seen the stop- press telegrams in this morning''s papers?"
28480Then you knew before this morning that he had been carried off?"
28480There will be an exchange of views with the German embassy; and to- morrow...""Do you think so?..."
28480These lines?..."
28480They talked together for a few minutes and, gradually, while watching her, he changed the subject to the Jorancés:"Has Suzanne been this morning?"
28480They walked for another moment:"Eh?
28480They''re talking of nothing else.... And who do you think swooped down upon me at Saint- Élophe?
28480This is a day of rejoicing.... Are you ready, Philippe?"
28480Through the woods?"
28480To your own place?"
28480Turning round, he saw Commissary Jorancé, with a white, threatening face, and heard him say, in a dull voice:"What did you mean to suggest?
28480Victor, you must run... but where to?...
28480Walter?"
28480Was he stating the truth?
28480Was he to fling himself on his knees before Marthe and ask for mercy or to fold his hands before Le Corbier?
28480Was he to offer up two more?
28480Was he to throw up the work which he had undertaken?
28480Was he, the frail obstacle self- set against the torrent, to be vanquished in his turn?
28480Was it not to be expected that this would be the argument eventually adopted-- if it was not adopted already-- by the imperial government?
28480Was it simply a misunderstanding that divided them?
28480Was that the half- formed idea that inspired him, unknown to himself?
28480We left Philippe at the Carrefour du Grand- Chêne, at the bottom of the hill, did n''t we, Suzanne?
28480What about Paris?"
28480What about last night''s storm?"
28480What about the chances of war?
28480What are you daring to say?
28480What are you meddling for?"
28480What are you talking about?
28480What can it mean?...
28480What common ground is there between us?
28480What did he say?"
28480What did her husband mean to do?
28480What do they want with me, after all?
28480What do you mean by it?
28480What do you mean?
28480What do you mean?"
28480What do you say to that, Philippe, eh?
28480What does all this mean?
28480What does he mean by backing out like that?"
28480What is it?"
28480What is it?"
28480What is my particular duty?
28480What is she wearing: a peplum or an Empire frock?
28480What is that worth beside the facts?
28480What is the object for which I ought to make in spite of every obstacle?"
28480What part exactly was he playing?
28480What reason have you for answering like that?
28480What right had he to expect his father to act according to his, Philippe''s, conscience?
28480What terrible catastrophe would it produce?
28480What then?"
28480What triumph have you achieved?"
28480What upon?"
28480What was the good?
28480What was the use?
28480What was this Philippe Morestal''s evidence worth?
28480What words?
28480What would that little falsehood signify, compared with the magnificent result that would be obtained?
28480What''s all this nonsense?"
28480What''s the matter with you?"
28480What''s the matter?"
28480What''s the use?
28480What?
28480When I knew that you were coming... and that, by delaying my departure by one day... just one day.... You understand, do n''t you?..."
28480When Philippe sat down at the table, she showed him the newspapers:"Have you seen them?"
28480When Philippe turned round, Suzanne was standing close against him:"You''ll come, wo n''t you?"
28480When that time comes, will she know how to resist?
28480Where are his deputies?
28480Where did you spend the night?"
28480Where is he to cross it?"
28480Where is he to look?...
28480Where''s Suzanne?"
28480Where''s monsieur le maire?
28480Which of the two countries?
28480Which of us was right?
28480Who knows when Jorancé will be out of prison?
28480Who knows?
28480Who set the place on fire?..."
28480Who told you?
28480Who?"
28480Whom are you talking about?
28480Whom were you talking to?"
28480Why did I help that deserter?
28480Why did I speak?"
28480Why did Philippe say that he had slept there?
28480Why do n''t you confess that you lie?...
28480Why do n''t you give my wife a kiss?
28480Why do you ask?
28480Why not telephone to Saint- Élophe, to the special commissary''s house?
28480Why should she?
28480Why should you?"
28480With an air of indifference, Philippe asked:"How is she?
28480Yes, frightened, like a little girl... and I fainted.... And Philippe had to carry me... for half an hour at least....""What do you say to that?"
28480You can be sure that the two conspirators will be back when the belfry- clock strikes ten, eh, Morestal?"
28480You do like him very much, do n''t you, Suzanne?"
28480You heard Jorancé shouting, did n''t you, now?"
28480You mean on the ground, do n''t you?
28480You really intend to desert?"
28480You want one?
28480You''re lying, Philippe, are you not?
28480You''re lying, are n''t you?...
28480Your attitude up to the present shows me that you never mean to forgive me.... Then what right have you to call me to account for what I do?"
28480Your future husband?"
37170''And why not?'' 37170 ''Are you coming, wife?''
37170''Carew is that man''s name, is it?'' 37170 ''Could I not be cruel,''returned he, with a grating laugh,''ay, to even such a one as she?
37170< i> I, Sir?
37170Ah, indeed,said I;"how was that?"
37170And what tales are those which are told against the present tenant of Fairburn Hall?
37170And what tales are those?
37170And who is Marmaduke, sir?
37170And who is this young gentleman who comes to listen to them from the lips of my loving ward?
37170And who is to find the money?
37170And who shall prevent me?
37170And why should I stir a foot,replied she fiercely,"for the child of a race that has ever treated me and mine as though we were dogs?"
37170Are you quite sure?
37170But if Sir Massingberd appeals to the law?
37170But suppose he wrote to Marmaduke himself?
37170But what became of your little sister, poor Sinnamenta?
37170But where a stronger than he cometh,added the rector, shaking his head,"what then?"
37170But you have a family vault underneath the chancel, have you not?
37170Did I say''we''?
37170Did he ever toss you, my young friend?
37170Did she steal this flask?
37170Did you paint that from a picture, Marmaduke?
37170Do you know why we are all put there,asked he,"instead of with the other-- Christian-- folks?"
37170Do you mean to say that you have never been told of Jacob''s Ladder? 37170 Do you think that I do not know my uncle''s step?
37170Does Sir Massingberd himself ride when he is in the field?
37170Does he like reading, sir?
37170Gracious goodness,returned I,"why should n''t he?
37170Half your annual stipend, eh, Mr. Long, eh?
37170Has she hair of golden brown?
37170How dare you speak such things to me?
37170How did the good parson ever persuade my uncle? 37170 How did you-- how did you manage to< i> ring him, sir?"
37170I am not at Fairburn Hall, am I?
37170If that be so,said I,"why does not Sir Massingberd marry?"
37170Is it indeed so, boy?
37170Is it so?
37170Is not all this his?
37170Is she one of the Company''s ships?
37170Mine, Sir Massingberd? 37170 My father pointed towards Sinnamenta--''Is not that cause enough, Massingberd Heath?''
37170Nay, sir, I--?
37170No, you need n''t apologize, parson, for your thinking aloud; you do n''t suppose I am going to do anything without being paid for it, do you? 37170 Not know?"
37170Notwithstanding the powerful bit?
37170Oh, the great man looks black, does he?
37170She is surely not at Fairburn,asked I,"is she?"
37170Sir Massingberd selected his nephew''s horse himself, did he?
37170That is a form of speech, I suppose, by which you would imply that Marmaduke is afraid of his uncle?
37170That is the reason, is it, why the good folks never see you at church? 37170 Think you that his white head and stony heart would weigh too heavy in the balance against his title and the reversion of his lands?
37170Well, parson,exclaimed he-- and at the sound of his voice I perceived my tutor start in his saddle--"what think you of the little Londoner?"
37170Well,said I,"and is not that probable enough?"
37170What else should keep us here, boy, to be harried by keepers, to be vexed by constables and justices? 37170 What makes you bring him here?"
37170What man?
37170What young woman would< i> not be won?
37170Why do n''t you call him Peter, Lucy?
37170Why do they say Sir Massingberd is poor?
37170Why not say< i> is at once?
37170Would you be so good as to write that down, sir?
37170You are prepared to go that length, are you?
37170''And now,''cried he,''what man shall stop me from doing what I will with my own?"''
37170''Do you suppose, then, that I valued your gipsy mummeries at a pin''s head?
37170''What have you done to bring this man''s vengeance upon me?''
37170''What is she to me?
37170Are you a hypocrite, then, that you need be so alarmed at being inspected?"
37170But what have we here?
37170But would such a course of conduct assist poor Marmaduke?
37170By the by, what has been done with him?"
37170Could it Grimjaw?"
37170Did I add that the bowling- green is entirely at your service?
37170Did you hear of Admiral Flinthert''s funeral at Crittenden a month ago or so?
37170Do you know, young man, the very men that cause revolutions am the last to believe in them?"
37170For what is it that you have dared to send for me?''
37170Gerard''s?"
37170Have you a taper and wax?"
37170Have you dared to bring me here merely to repeat so stale a story?''
37170How can a man who has two legs given him to stand upright upon, persist in grovelling through life upon all- fours?
37170How does Mr. Marmaduke Heath stand with respect to his uncle?"
37170How is it I have never heard any mention of them?"
37170How is it that, at your age, you have already learned to be the apologist of the rich in high places?"
37170How was it that you came to change your quarters?"
37170How, in the name of all the devils, could I have hindered the lad''s horse from running away with him?"
37170I daresay you have read the new romance of''Ivanhoe,''have you not?"
37170I feel that; but what is death to what I have been dreaming?
37170I trust he did nothing impetuous, nothing that is to be regretted, here?"
37170I?
37170If he lived for her alone, should I endeavour to slay him?
37170Is it so very rare a thing to bury those we love elsewhere than in a churchyard?"
37170Is it the result of experience or intuition?
37170Is n''t that it?
37170Is there anything wrong with his girths, think you?
37170Marmaduke is getting thinner and paler every day; and Meredith--""Do< i> you really think so, parson?"
37170Meredith?"
37170Mr. Clint, do you think that a hundred and forty to a hundred and sixty pounds a year might be made sufficient to keep Marmaduke with respectability?"
37170Mr. Meredith, what can you mean?
37170Not come?''
37170Notwithstanding his pleasure, his first thought, as usual, was:"Did Sir Massingberd know?"
37170Now, what will Mr. Clint allow me for that, do you suppose?
37170Some of your people have been Catholics, and been buried in their own chapel at the Hall, have they not?"
37170Then his face softened sadly, as though he would have said:"Am I not, therefore, to be pitied, who pass every day and night under this accursed roof?"
37170They said it was Religion up at the Hall; but they knows nothing about that; how should they?
37170They say that my Lord Castlereagh has thirty thousand...--Stay, do you not hear wheels?
37170Was it to be expected that he who defied his own father, himself a man of iron will, would obey Morris Liversedge?
37170What business-- let alone pleasure-- could one have in London, when Howard and Gribbs would not lend one fifty pounds even at fifty per cent.?
37170What else should keep me here in a place that tortures me with memories of my youth and of loving faces that have crumbled into dust?
37170What man living is worthy to possess yon glorious creature?
37170What on earth is there to be afraid of in the squire''s handwriting?
37170What say you to my buying you a horse?"
37170What< i> did he give him?"
37170When we had the fever here-- Mina, darling, you remember who came to see you, and saved your life?"
37170Where does it lead to, Marmaduke?"
37170Why did the postscript say,"Burn this when you have read it?"
37170Why does God suffer such men to live?"
37170Why have you never told me you were an artist?"
37170Why should he have vice, man?
37170Why, how could he eat them, you foolish boy?
37170Will you please to follow me?"
37170Would I drink?
37170Would I eat?
37170Would I smoke?
37170Would not Sir Massingberd let him have a horse also?"
37170Would you please to come and see Granny Rachel?"
37170You were brought up in India, were you not?
37170a statue?
37170a sun- dial?
37170and I her husband?''
37170and how did has uncle like that, who had always kept him at home so strict?--and was it true that he was residing with Mr. Harvey Gerard?
37170cried I in horror;"and what does he do that for?"
37170do you speak our tongue?"
37170exclaimed he, in an excited manner,"what on earth has happened to Sir Massingberd Heath?
37170how on mine?
37170inquired I, gravely,"and hazel eyes, large and pitiful, and does she smile sad and sweet as though one''s pain would soon be over?"
37170mine?"
37170or has this old ginger- faced harridan made you her favoured confidant?
37170replied she, while a blush sprung from neck to forehead on the instant, as though a white rose should become a red one--"upon< i> me?"
37170ten years younger than I am now; is not that strange, boy?
37170there she stood, unconscious of my advent, beside-- what?
37170when I have my father?
31361''What''s the use?'' 31361 --Er-- would you mind coming down- stairs with me?"
31361After I arranged about that I went to see Dordess----"Was he friendly?
31361After all we''ve been through?
31361Ah, what do you want, the apple and the money and the change too?
31361Already?
31361Am I a coward?
31361An order?
31361And Mr. Simeon Deaves?
31361And addressed to your wife? 31361 And do you expect me to let you go on your mere say- so?
31361And if I refuse to tell him what you ask me to?
31361And if I wo n''t?
31361And the newspaper story?
31361And where will you go?
31361Any rooms to rent, Ethel? 31361 Anything new?"
31361Are n''t we going to have some music?
31361Are n''t you afraid I might skip with it?
31361Are n''t you going to get up to- day?
31361Are n''t you paid a good salary to keep my husband''s father from disgracing us all? 31361 Are n''t you taking a good deal for granted?"
31361Are you ashamed to be seen with me?
31361Are you going to be one of us?
31361Are you going to be with us regularly?
31361Are you one of Miss Playfair''s''brothers''too?
31361Are you ready?
31361Are you referring to me?
31361Are you sure?
31361Are you trying to hold us up?
31361Are you waiting for somebody?
31361Back to share your father''s genteel poverty?
31361Break up our organisation on your say- so? 31361 But I may send to you?"
31361But do n''t you see,urged Evan,"Hassell could n''t have had anything to do with this, not with the money he makes and his reputation?
31361But do n''t you think she sings''Just a Wearyin''for You''and''Love Unexpressed''with wonderful expression?
31361But how about putting something by?
31361But how can we? 31361 But how could you have foreseen that?"
31361But how would I know you painted them?
31361But if this payment is hard to meet, how about the next, and the next after that?
31361But suppose the bonds are not forthcoming?
31361But what good will it do to negotiate?
31361But where am I going to get it? 31361 But why?
31361But why?
31361But why?
31361But you promise to tell me?
31361But you''ll come with me?
31361But-- but how can I?
31361But-- but what do you suppose they mean by''further arguments''?
31361By the way, how did you like my pictures?
31361Can I be of any assistance?
31361Can I see you a moment?
31361Can you assure me of that?
31361Can you prove it?
31361Can you work a typewriter?
31361Charley Straiker live here?
31361Cold-- I?
31361Come on in, and let''s see what was the matter?
31361Corinna, are you all right?
31361Corinna, how did you ever come to chum up with a woman like Maud Deaves?
31361Corinna, what''s the use?
31361Corinna, why did you run away?
31361Corinna,this low and thick,"what is this man to you?"
31361Could Verplanck come down on me for them?
31361Did they fire you?
31361Disgracing you? 31361 Do n''t you want to stop and talk things over?"
31361Do you know about it? 31361 Do you know him?"
31361Do you know when he''ll be in?
31361Do you mean to say the money was returned?
31361Do you remember what book was mentioned?
31361Do you see that? 31361 Do you suppose he means us personal harm?"
31361Do you suppose they contemplate-- er-- personal violence?
31361Do you suppose-- they would really print that-- about my father?
31361Do you think I''m a blind man not to notice the particular interest you are taking in my doings? 31361 Do you think anything can be hidden in this house?"
31361Do you want any help?
31361Do you want to go anyway?
31361Does he expect me to assault him?
31361Eh?
31361Even in this house?
31361First of all is there any immediate danger?
31361Good evening,she returned with a rising inflection that suggested:"Well, what do you want?"
31361Good evening,she said with the upward inflection meaning:"What do you want?"
31361Had another row with your old man?
31361Had n''t I better look at him?
31361Has he been that way all day?
31361Has the money been sent to the club?
31361Have n''t you got any tickets?
31361Have you been discussing me?
31361Have you found out anything?
31361Have you gone crazy?
31361Have you notified the police?
31361Have you seen the Missus yet?
31361Hear her? 31361 How about it?"
31361How about the door- keeper?
31361How about the life class at the League?
31361How are you?
31361How are you?
31361How are you?
31361How can I wait twenty- four hours?
31361How did you find out that other time that the bills were marked?
31361How did you get hold of all your helpers?
31361How did you guess that?
31361How did you happen to stumble on our deep- sea perambulator?
31361How did you know there was a letter?
31361How do I know you wo n''t make off down the river in my skiff?
31361How do we know that?
31361How do you do, Corinna?
31361How do you mean?
31361How do you purpose taking me to the police?
31361How does it feel?
31361How many times have I fired them? 31361 How much do you want?"
31361How often do you make these trips?
31361How often must I tell you that there''s nothing in the world the matter?
31361How should I know?
31361How will you get back?
31361How will you go? 31361 How would you like to get up early and go walking in the country before the day''s work?"
31361How''s yourself?
31361How?
31361I came to ask you if you would accompany me on a little expedition to- night?
31361I earned it, did n''t I? 31361 I say, I did n''t mention her eyes, did I?
31361I''m deeply grateful to you, but I suppose that''s another story, is n''t it?
31361If I did would I be asking you?
31361If the crook got away in spite of Charley, why did n''t he come back here to report?
31361If you were the least bit sorry, I could talk to you; but to glory in it, to try to trade on it----"Sorry for what?
31361Into that black hole? 31361 Is it a sin for you to love me?"
31361Is it a true story?
31361Is it necessary for me to tell you? 31361 Is it true, Papa?"
31361Is it true?
31361Is it wrong?
31361Is nothing changed?
31361Is she all right?
31361Is that a threat?
31361Is the chief badly hurt?
31361Is there any other man who has a better claim on you than I have?
31361Is this a trick?
31361Is this it?
31361Is this story true?
31361Is this the guy as made trouble for you last trip?
31361Is this the outfit Anway told me about?
31361May I come in?
31361May I see the enclosure the letter speaks of?
31361May I see the enclosure?
31361May I stay a little longer, Corinna?
31361May we have a few words with you?
31361Mr. Deaves, do you wish me to go?
31361Mr. Deaves,he said,"am I employed to accompany your father on his walks or to discover the blackmailers?"
31361Mr. Simeon Deaves or Mr. George Deaves?
31361Mr. Straiker, is it you? 31361 My dear, what''s the use?"
31361Not a very palatial abode, eh?
31361Oh, Mr. Weir,she said importantly,"where have you been?"
31361Oh, he did, did he?
31361Oh, then he is n''t in?
31361Oh, you''re willing, are you? 31361 Other servants then?"
31361Pleasant walking in the Square last night?
31361Say, are you going to tell us how to run this show?
31361Say, fella, what do you think you''ll get out of it?
31361Shall we go with you?
31361So this is where you live?
31361Some li''l jollier, are n''t you?
31361Something doing to- day, eh?
31361Suppose they took me into custody as they did you?
31361Suppose they were to bribe him, and he drove me off to their lair?
31361Sure he''s coming back?
31361The letter?
31361The one what?
31361The typewriter?
31361Then I had better report to them?
31361Then if I hear from them again what is your telephone number?
31361Then what happened?
31361Then you lied when you said you loved me?
31361Then you were present at this affair?
31361To a gang of blackmailers? 31361 To- morrow night, then?"
31361Want to borrow some money?
31361Was ever a man put in so frightful a position? 31361 Was he talking to you?"
31361Well there always is another when the first does n''t work, is n''t there?
31361Well, do they generally bring their guests here tied hand and foot?
31361Well, look here; you be looking the other way, and I''ll take the skiff, see? 31361 Well, that''s up to him, is n''t it?"
31361Well, what are the circumstances?
31361Well, what did you do?
31361Well, what do you think of it?
31361Well, what have you to say for yourself?
31361Well, when she goes out stick a piece of paper in the machine and strike every key once, see? 31361 Well, who comes here?"
31361Well, will you do this?
31361Well, will you make a charge?
31361Well-- would you be satisfied with my gratitude?
31361Well?
31361Were you planted here?
31361Wh- e- e- re?
31361What about Charley Straiker, Evan?
31361What am I to do?
31361What am I to do?
31361What are all the men servants waiting in the hall for?
31361What are the enclosures?
31361What are you coming for then?
31361What are you doing here?
31361What are you doing out on the street in the middle of the morning?
31361What are you doing?
31361What are you going to do about it?
31361What are you going to do about it?
31361What are you going to do?
31361What are you good for?
31361What can I do for you?
31361What can I do to- day?
31361What chance have we of being picked up here?
31361What chance would I have of outwitting them?
31361What club?
31361What did I tell you? 31361 What did I tell you?"
31361What did he want?
31361What difference does it make whose fault it is?
31361What difference does that make?
31361What do I care about my reputation?
31361What do they call you?
31361What do they do here?
31361What do they want?
31361What do you expect to get out of it?
31361What do you make of that?
31361What do you mean to do?
31361What do you mean?
31361What do you mean?
31361What do you mean?
31361What do you mean?

31361What do you want of me?
31361What do you want to know for?
31361What do you want?
31361What do you wish me to do?
31361What does that mean,''soon as you can''?
31361What does that mean?
31361What does this mean? 31361 What does this mean?"
31361What existence is this?
31361What for?
31361What for?
31361What for?
31361What good to communicate with him?
31361What good will that do me?
31361What happened to you last night?
31361What happened?
31361What has happened?
31361What have I done?
31361What have you been in?
31361What hold has he over her?
31361What is it?
31361What is she writing?
31361What is the Ozone Association? 31361 What is?"
31361What kind of a man do you call yourself?
31361What makes you think I wrote it?
31361What more is there to say?
31361What of it? 31361 What on earth is he doing on this ragged edge of the town?"
31361What other thing?
31361What reason did she give for leaving?
31361What signal will there be for the concerted attack?
31361What sort of looking man?
31361What was that you were playing?
31361What was the enclosure they speak of?
31361What will the old miser ever do for you?
31361What will we do with the body?
31361What will your mother say?
31361What would the landlady say?
31361What would you advise me to do?
31361What''s George got to do with it? 31361 What''s for breakfast?"
31361What''s going on?
31361What''s got to be faced?
31361What''s his first name, then?
31361What''s his other name?
31361What''s that for?
31361What''s that?
31361What''s the damage?
31361What''s the matter with her?
31361What''s the matter with him?
31361What''s the matter with me?
31361What''s the matter with you?
31361What''s the matter with you?
31361What''s the matter with you?
31361What''s the matter with you?
31361What''s the matter? 31361 What''s the matter?"
31361What''s the matter?
31361What''s the matter?
31361What''s the nature of it?
31361What''s the use? 31361 What''s the use?"
31361What''s your boss''s name?
31361What''s your mistress been doing all morning?
31361What''s your name, boy?
31361What''s your name?
31361What''s your proposition?
31361What''s your scheme?
31361Where am I?
31361Where did you two go?
31361Where does Corinna live?
31361Where is Mr. George Deaves?
31361Where is he?
31361Where is the money to be sent to- day?
31361Where will you go?
31361Where''s his room?
31361Where''s my other penny?
31361Where''s the Captain?
31361Whereabouts in the room is that seat?
31361Which is Charley''s room?
31361Who are you?
31361Who could have put them on to it? 31361 Who do you want it for?"
31361Who has it?
31361Who is Maud?
31361Who is this, Papa?
31361Who lives here?
31361Who made him poor?
31361Who moved her things?
31361Who robbed him?
31361Who was he?
31361Whose money paid for those gew- gaws?
31361Why are n''t you working at it now?
31361Why did n''t you tell me that yesterday?
31361Why do n''t you fire him, George?
31361Why do n''t you fire them?
31361Why do n''t you go after them yourself?
31361Why do you suppose they insisted on our waiting here?
31361Why do you want to hand me over to the police?
31361Why must I?
31361Why not now?
31361Why not? 31361 Why should they go to all that trouble just to give it to charity?"
31361Why shy at the word and commit the deed?
31361Why the Hell do n''t you walk aboard by the gangway?
31361Why was n''t I consulted?
31361Why was n''t it sent?
31361Why would n''t it be better to call up the club?
31361Why, how do you know that?
31361Why, what''s the matter?
31361Why-- what''s the matter?
31361Why?
31361Will she recognise my step?
31361Will you go with me?
31361Will you make a charge?
31361Will you or will you not describe your movements this morning?
31361Will you show me the way up- stairs?
31361Will you take the old man and put him on the way home?
31361Wo n''t that take all our money?
31361Wo n''t you sing me a song?
31361Would n''t you advise it?
31361Would you mind posting it on your way out?
31361You advise me to ignore this then?
31361You have already secured the bonds?
31361You mean----?
31361You paid your own fare on the trolley- car, did n''t you? 31361 You promise to have nothing further to do with them?"
31361You want me to come in with you then?
31361You''ll be at my house before eight then?
31361You''re sure there''s no chance of a slip- up among so many clerks?
31361Your father?
31361After all, what was life but a jest?
31361Am I a toy spaniel to be petted and turned out of the room by turn?"
31361Am I going to pay through the nose to soothe your feelings?
31361And Corinna, what of her?
31361And behind her they heard Simeon Deaves muttering confusedly:"What''s the matter?
31361And will I give it up to these scoundrels, these sewer rats who threaten me?
31361And you took me!--Oh, I know you made conditions, what did I care?
31361Anway?"
31361Are you a friend of Anway''s?
31361Are you armed?"
31361As the steamboat sidled up to her pier Evan heard Corinna''s voice call down the stairway:"Oh, Mr. Denton; will you come up here for a moment?"
31361As they neared home she said:"Do you mind if I go in alone?"
31361Before he was well inside the room the latter flung out at him:"Where have you been all morning?"
31361But after all, being on the side of the law gives me an advantage now, does n''t it?"
31361But do you believe that?
31361But in that case why not say so?
31361But why does he give her an address so that she can write to him?
31361But why should he go to the trouble of making believe that he has not?--and send a receipt?
31361By the way, what does Ikunahkatsi mean?"
31361By the way, why did you never take him on the_ Ernestina_?"
31361Ca n''t you hear the lie in his voice?"
31361Call Aunt Liza up- stairs.... A hat?
31361Can I get there without marching down the whole length of the room?"
31361Could this be the track that led direct to the abandoned house?
31361Deaves?"
31361Deaves?"
31361Did n''t I propose this trip?
31361Did she owe you any money?"
31361Do you mean to say you did n''t pick me up in Troy street two hours ago, after that row with the fruit vendor?"
31361Do you suppose he could have been one of them?"
31361Do you suppose he''s all right?"
31361Do you think I do n''t know what they''re saying?
31361Does he look honest?"
31361Does our Carmen love the beautiful of her sex?
31361Dordess said very offhand:"How do you like your job of nursemaid?"
31361Drayton?"
31361Evan came to a stand before him and said abruptly:"What''s the idea, kid?"
31361Evan read:"Mr. George Deaves: Dear Sir: You thought we were bluffing, did n''t you, when we said we had a chapter to add to your father''s biography?
31361Evan said:"I suppose the police are looking for me?"
31361Evan was tempted to ask:"Even to cracking him on the bean?"
31361Evan went on:"If I was a member of the gang would I show my hand so clearly?
31361Evidently they had not had the car that way before, for the chauffeur said anxiously:"Are you sure we can get through?"
31361Fearing that the next question could not but betray him, Evan was nevertheless obliged to ask it:"Did she leave any forwarding address?"
31361Fellow I know hired this car to take his girl out, see?
31361Had Charley stopped, or had he, too, taken to the soft stuff?
31361Hassell?"
31361Have I such a trusting eye?
31361Have n''t you got any work to do?"
31361Have you a husband?"
31361Have you got the envelope this came in?"
31361He addressed the prisoner:"What is your name?"
31361He heard his informant saying:"But if you know Anway, no doubt you''re acquainted with Miss Playfair?"
31361How about a man''s size room?"
31361How about me?
31361How about me?
31361How are you going to do it?"
31361How can I risk it?"
31361How can I tell?
31361How can I?
31361How can one tell from a man''s looks what he''s thinking about?"
31361How can we get in touch with them?"
31361How could I face her?"
31361How could he be everywhere at once?
31361How did you get clear?"
31361How do we know how many there are?"
31361How is the Deaves Trust good for me?"
31361How many of those ruffians did you knock down?"
31361I looked over the members in the clubhouse, honest- looking men-- but who can tell?"
31361I mark a cross on one piece, see?
31361I think they''re going to run off and be married, and I want to give them the laugh, see?
31361I want them to think they''ve gone off and left me, and then I''ll show myself, see?"
31361I''m going too, see?
31361Is it safe here?
31361Is n''t it worth it?
31361Is n''t that enough?
31361Is n''t that enough?"
31361Is n''t that mellifluous?
31361It was useless to cry out; even if he should be heard above the noise of the engine, who could stop the flying car?
31361Let me and me brutter go, will yeh please?
31361Looked at me as much as to say:''What is this that the cat has brought in?''
31361May I see it?"
31361Of what?"
31361On the level why did n''t you tell me before?"
31361Please explain how you came to be in that little obscure street where you met Papa yesterday?"
31361She appeared, saying scornfully:"Oh, it''s you, is it?"
31361She glared at Evan as if defying him to judge her, and marching up to him said bluntly:"Who are you?"
31361Since when?"
31361So I''m going out to get her a swell gas mantle to- night, and say Carmen sent it, see?
31361So we''ve had our last walk together, eh?"
31361Straiker?"
31361Suppose Charley flatly refused all information, how could he make him speak?
31361The gorgeous Maud in purple velvet and pearls("How does she get the money out of them?"
31361The next time I stumble over you I wo n''t be so gentle, see?
31361The old man whispered tremulously:"What''s the matter?
31361The sallies of the sidewalk wits were almost drowned in the mere cries of rage:"Tight- wad, did you say?
31361The ticket- taker responded amiably:"Great, is n''t it?
31361Then I''m supposed to follow the trail wherever it may lead?"
31361They burst out simultaneously:"What''s the matter?"
31361To create a diversion he asked:"Has the gentleman lived here long?"
31361To create a diversion, Evan asked him:"What has your particular job been to- day?"
31361Understand, from this time on it''s a clear field for you, see?
31361Unfortunately for Evan at this moment a gruff voice behind him said:"Hey, young man, what do you think you''re doin''?"
31361Was he accused of forgery or blackmail?
31361Was it possible he knew an enemy was near?
31361We both are, are n''t we, Papa?"
31361Well, they''re running this show, see?
31361What am I to do?"
31361What are you doing down here anyhow?
31361What are you doing in a den like this?"
31361What comes between us?"
31361What did I tell you?"
31361What do I care what they say about me?
31361What do I care?
31361What do words matter at such moments?
31361What do you know about how people talk?
31361What do you know about it?
31361What do you want me to do?"
31361What does this mean?"
31361What good did it do?
31361What have you been doing to me lately?"
31361What have you done?
31361What have you got to say for yourself?"
31361What of it?"
31361What will the landlady say?"
31361What would I say to Maud?
31361What you gwine do, Miss?"
31361What''s it all about?"
31361What''s on your chest, boy?
31361What''s the idea?"
31361What''s the matter?
31361What''s the matter?"
31361What''s the use of half measures?
31361What''s yours?"
31361When is this going to end?
31361Where is it?"
31361Where was she?
31361Where will you have it put?"
31361Where''s the story?"
31361Where?
31361Who hired you to trail me?"
31361Who''s got a sheet of paper?
31361Who''s hurt by it?
31361Whom do you suspect?"
31361Why ca n''t I take things as they come, as they do, without searching my soul?"
31361Why did n''t you come to me earlier-- or phone?"
31361Why do I suffer so?"
31361Why do n''t you do it then?
31361Why do n''t you do it?"
31361Why do you want to kill us both?"
31361Will you give up?"
31361Will you swear it on the bible?"
31361Wo n''t you come down now?"
31361Wo n''t you play again-- please?"
31361Wot th''hell''s the matter?
31361Would I be justified in opening letters that looked suspicious to me?"
31361Would I betray the sources of my information?
31361Would n''t you rather sleep between your own sheets?"
31361Would they now put their final threat into execution upon his hapless friend?
31361You better leave that guy be, see?"
31361You despise men, do n''t you?
31361You have n''t sent fresh bills?"
31361You let me shoot off my mouth all this time and never----""What was there to say?"
31361You like to see them crawling?
31361You will receive what I am about to tell you in absolute confidence?"
31361You''re discharged, do you understand?
31361said Deaves in a panic,"what letter?
31361the voice went on,"or his slack- twisted son for that matter?
31361which is worse, to know or not to know?"
31361why?
28780''Sthat you, Sparks?
28780A part of what?
28780Aerial do n''t leak, does it?
28780Ah-- do you mind if I ask a few questions? 28780 All what?"
28780Am I?
28780And does the brave one admire my sarong?
28780And how much do I owe you, small one?
28780And leave you behind? 28780 And they have taken her to Len Yang?"
28780And what has become of your prudence? 28780 And you imagine you''re running no risk with the two golden- haired maids in tow?"
28780And you''ll get that silly old notion of a bungalow for two out of your head?
28780And you? 28780 Are n''t you connected with my good friend, the man with the sea- lion mustaches, in Len Yang?"
28780Are n''t you glad-- aren''t you a little bit glad-- to see me-- me?
28780Are n''t you going to explain-- anything? 28780 Are you armed?"
28780Are you awake?
28780Are you going on to Len Yang this time, Peter?
28780Are you grateful to me, you two? 28780 Are you rested?
28780Are you-- Peter Moore, known in some parts of China as-- Peter the Brazen?
28780Are-- you are not joking, are you, Miss Borria? 28780 Are-- you-- Peter-- Moore?"
28780Because I love you so?
28780Because of me?
28780Because you loved me so?
28780But how did you know?
28780But what does this mean-- this?
28780But why all the hubbub about Peter Moore?
28780But why are you telling such things to me, my brave one?
28780But why did you send for them? 28780 But why does he want beautiful young girls for his mine, my son?"
28780But why the Jap-- disguise? 28780 But why,_ bi_--my brave one?"
28780But why-- why does he beat you? 28780 But you''re not sure-- now?"
28780But, Miss Borria,writhed Peter,"why, with all this knowledge, has n''t he done away with me?
28780Ca n''t we break away from this mob and have a little chin- chin by ourselves?
28780Can a man live with a bullet in his heart?
28780Can do?
28780Can it be possible----?
28780Can it interest you? 28780 Can we see them?"
28780Can you forgive me for this-- way I have acted, my-- my ingratitude?
28780Can you swim-- at all?
28780Chinamen? 28780 Chinks?"
28780Cinnabar from his mine is brought down the Yangtze on junks and transferred at Soo- chow?
28780Complete our plans?
28780Dead or alive, Peter?
28780Did n''t tamper with the bullets, eh?
28780Did they harm you?
28780Did you ever put your arm around another woman before?
28780Do n''t I act like an amateur?
28780Do n''t you know it breaks a government rule when that room''s empty-- at sea?
28780Do n''t you suppose a woman would do almost as well?
28780Do n''t you suppose my curiosity was aroused when you threw the coolie overboard? 28780 Do n''t_ you_ ever feel lonely-- like this?"
28780Do you hear, Naradia?
28780Do you mean, how does one reach Len Yang?
28780Do you mean-- static? 28780 Do you remember those wonderful days and evenings we spent together on the Java Sea, on the old_ Persian Gulf_?
28780Do you?
28780Do-- do you l- love her as much as th- this?
28780Do-- do you mind very-- much?
28780Does your heart ache, too, Peter?
28780Drugs?
28780Eh? 28780 Election bet?"
28780Empty?
28780Feel the motion?
28780Follow_ lan- sà ®_ veil-- savvy?
28780Foolish?
28780For these few minutes, when we were to chatter, and make love, and be happy?
28780Forty?
28780Fourteen days from Shanghai to Len Yang?
28780From where?
28780From_ him_?
28780Good God, who said anything about being a watchdog?
28780Good enough; but will they be careful afterward?
28780Has China got the best of you, Peter?
28780Has the lookout reported any ship in the past hour excepting the_ Rover_?
28780Has your grandmother a sampan, a trustworthy coolie?
28780Have I been interfering with the lawful pursuits of the Chinese Empire?
28780Have you a costume?
28780Have you good hearing?
28780Have you seen Miss Vost?
28780Have you stopped them?
28780He pays well, my son?
28780He-- is dead?
28780How did you get here alive?
28780How did you guess?
28780How is Peggy?
28780I am quite powerless?
28780I need no guide, then? 28780 I?
28780I? 28780 I?"
28780If I decide yes-- or if I decide no-- how can I defend myself?
28780If the_ fokie_ returns with that message, you will write a short note----"To one you love?
28780If your hero resents my robbing him of one stingy, little kiss---- Band? 28780 In search of more adventure and romance?
28780Is that Peter Moore? 28780 Is that all?"
28780Is that the_ Rover_ on our port quarter?
28780Is that why you are growing a beard-- to surprise--_him_?
28780Is-- he-- on-- board?
28780Is-- is my end so close?
28780It says that?
28780Keep away-- ai?

28780Lo Ong,stated Moore,"my wanchee you keep mouth shut-- allatime shut-- you savvy?"
28780Lookin''for information?
28780MacLaurin? 28780 May I ask: Who are you?"
28780May I see her-- once-- before I die?
28780Meaning-- me?
28780Mr. Minion, what is Len Yang? 28780 Mynheer,"he began in a somewhat constrained voice, low and richly guttural,"it iss known to you vat took place on der ship some dam during der nacht?
28780Naradia,he continued, lowering his voice gently,"now that Peter Moore and I are at last together, will you excuse us?
28780No come buy?
28780No escape?
28780No go Hong Kong way?
28780Noticed anything else?
28780Now, where, oh where, do I fit in this scheme?
28780Of course you refused? 28780 Of that?"
28780Once-- means''yes?'' 28780 Perhaps you can tell me what became of the man who opened my door?"
28780Peter, ca n''t you realize what a dreary life I''ve led since that night you ran away from me in Hong Kong? 28780 Peter, is that cork_ awfully_ obstinate?"
28780Peter, tell me, why is it? 28780 Peter, tell me----""Yes, Romola?"
28780Quite sure he imports them to work in the mines?
28780River boat-- for Ching- Fu?
28780Romola, will you answer a question?
28780Say, you young prize- fighter,he sputtered,"you drunk?
28780Shall we take a car- ride?
28780Should n''t you have an operating- room?
28780Since you do know that somebody is being kidnapped on this ship----"What in hell do you mean?
28780So this is love?
28780So, after all, you refuse to take my counsel, my advice, seriously?
28780Speak English, eh?
28780Speak God''s language, eh?
28780Stag what?
28780Stay allatime on_ King Asia_?
28780That was why you happened along the bund about the time the boat came up- river?
28780That will be safe, that sampan?
28780The doctor? 28780 The red note?"
28780The up- river trip?
28780The wireless operator? 28780 Then you did n''t know I was on my way to China?"
28780Then you will go up- river with me?
28780Then you will stay in this room until we leave?
28780Then, why,demanded Eileen, giving him a hungry little look,"did n''t you let me stay in Shanghai?"
28780They are still anxious for you to come with them?
28780This is your first trip?
28780This-- is_ adieu_--or_ au revoir_?
28780To Canton, too?
28780To permit me to live and love until one to- morrow morning?
28780To you?
28780To-- Bobbie?

28780Want me to finish your trick?
28780We are safe, brave one?
28780Well, could n''t you stir up something? 28780 Well, what of it?"
28780Well?
28780Well?
28780Were you in the loft above Ah Sih King''s?
28780What am I doing here? 28780 What am I forgetting?"
28780What are we going to do?
28780What are you prowlin''around ship this time o''night for, eh? 28780 What can I do?
28780What did I say?
28780What do you mean by that? 28780 What do you mean?"
28780What do you mean?
28780What does he want?
28780What does this little girl mean to you?
28780What does_ he_ care about the mines? 28780 What happened?
28780What have I that this maiden desires?
28780What have you done with her?
28780What have you to say now?
28780What if I am?
28780What is a thousand taels to him? 28780 What is it?"
28780What is my task?
28780What is the matter?
28780What is to become of us?
28780What shall I say?
28780What the hell do you want?
28780What under the seven suns are you doing in Ching- Fu-- and Kialang-- and China? 28780 What was I about to say?
28780What will become of you?
28780What''s botherin''you? 28780 What''s new?
28780What''s next?
28780What''s on your mind, Jen?
28780What''s that?
28780What''s this?
28780What''s to become of you? 28780 What''s''at?"
28780What-- what for?
28780What?
28780When did you see Miss Vost?
28780Where are they?
28780Where are you? 28780 Where did you find it?"
28780Where do I eat? 28780 Where do you want me to t- take you?"
28780Where does your aged grandmother live, small one?
28780Where is Len Yang?
28780Where now, Peter?
28780Where?
28780Who are the occupants of stateroom forty- four?
28780Who are you?
28780Who is on watch? 28780 Who is there?"
28780Who, my son?
28780Why are beautiful women-- girls-- from all parts of the world stolen-- to work in that mine?
28780Why are you dressed as a Jap?
28780Why are you following me?
28780Why are you in Ching- Fu? 28780 Why did n''t you ask me?"
28780Why did n''t you tell me you were in danger? 28780 Why did you do that?"
28780Why did you do that?
28780Why do n''t you join them? 28780 Why is Miss Vost making the trip to Ching- Fu?"
28780Why is he drunk?
28780Why not?
28780Why should I go to Liauchow?
28780Why should I? 28780 Why should he stab me?"
28780Why speak of death on a day like this?
28780Why you up so early-- or so late? 28780 Why?"
28780Will there be a row?
28780Will there be another time, Peter?
28780Will we let husband go along?
28780Will you help me-- now?
28780With me?
28780Wo n''t I see you again? 28780 Wo n''t you take me?"
28780Would you mind sort of summing up what you''ve just said?
28780You Wanchee cumshaw?
28780You allatime go Hong Kong way?
28780You and I?
28780You are not married-- to Eileen?
28780You are safe? 28780 You came for me, Peter?"
28780You did try?
28780You do n''t care about this Professor Hodgson, do you?
28780You do n''t happen to know,put in Peter ironically,"what Miss Lorimer had for breakfast this morning, by any chance?"
28780You do n''t mind?
28780You have asked him questions?
28780You have decided nothing, then?
28780You have not forgotten-- Kowloon,_ busar satu_?
28780You have some knowledge of my encounters with-- dragons?
28780You keep away-- ai?
28780You know nodding of dot business, young man?
28780You like dis ship, eh?
28780You made this-- for me?
28780You see?
28780You stay with me, do you hear?
28780You tell man- man, eh?
28780You used a coil?
28780You wanchee my?
28780You wanted to find out if I still cared enough for you to----"Follow me? 28780 You will not leave this ship?
28780You''re not anxious, Peter?
28780You''re not hurt-- either of you? 28780 You''re taking the_ Hankow_ up- river to- morrow?"
28780You-- what was that?
28780You-- who are so thirsty for the gold of romance?
28780You-- you wo n''t bring that dreadful automatic revolver of yours loaded-- will you?
28780Young girls?
28780Your husband''s nationality?
28780Your son? 28780 _ Birahi_,"she said in her tinkling voice, and with gravity far in advance of her summers,"we must part now-- forever?"
28780_ Ja_? 28780 _ Ta dzoh sh[=e]n m[=o] szi_?"
28780_ Why_ should_ I_ go to Liauchow?
28780... Do you imagine I ever cared for that puppy?
28780A day?
28780A half million gold a year?
28780A life?
28780An end of the glorious adventures whose trail he had followed now for well upon ten years?
28780An hour of life?
28780An hour?
28780And I rather liked the two little girls-- twins, are n''t they?"
28780And he will carry on your work?"
28780And how?
28780And then-- death?
28780And then-- what?
28780And where is it?"
28780And who is Len Yang?"
28780And wiser men than Peter have answered: What can be so harmful?
28780And, Eileen----""Yes, Peter?"
28780Answer: What am I?"
28780Any one back there?"
28780Anything wrong?"
28780Are n''t you running some risk, though?
28780Are we in a trap?"
28780Are you Peter Moore?"
28780Are you armed?"
28780At heart, do you really hate him, as you pretend, or are you simply bowing down to your vanity, to the pride you seem to take in these quixotic deeds?
28780At one---- A fighting chance?
28780At present will you trust me as I trust you?"
28780B. Whalen, the Marconi supervisor?"
28780Bellowing inquiry came down to them:"Who is that?
28780Both girls safe?"
28780But I could have defended myself easily enough if it had not been for----""Your clip of cartridges?
28780But are you acquainted with that man''s methods?
28780But how-- what?"
28780But the others, the black- coated one-- what of them?
28780But there is no danger-- is there?"
28780But what is there left in my life?
28780But what was happening?
28780But where was the crew of the_ Vandalia_?
28780But why, Peter, did you attack poor Kahn Meng?
28780But why----""Peter, I''ve gone to more trouble to- night than you realize, perhaps----""What do you want me to do?"
28780But why?
28780But why?
28780But, Mr. Moore, do you believe in love at first sight?"
28780But-- what difference?
28780By dawn, if I am not there, it will mean----""Death?"
28780Ca n''t you and I have tea to- morrow afternoon?"
28780Ca n''t you, Peter?
28780Call it infatuation, call it a rush of blood to my foolish young head, call it anything you like----""Why do n''t you stop all this?"
28780Can I have her?"
28780Can you believe I have lied?"
28780Can you ever forgive me for taking them out?
28780Can you forgive me?
28780Can you understand me?
28780Crazy?
28780Death?
28780Death?
28780Did he possess good papers?
28780Did n''t I try?
28780Did n''t you say that to yourself, Peter?"
28780Did she have some message to convey to him that she could not trust to the openness of the bund at the jetty?
28780Did that fellow get you?"
28780Did they harm you?
28780Did you enjoy-- the game?
28780Did you ever see a hero wearing a plain black four- in- hand?
28780Did you ever see a hero wearing nice tan oxfords without a spot of mud on them?
28780Did you ever see such a Chinaman?"
28780Did you succeed?
28780Do I speak the truth?"
28780Do n''t you realize it?
28780Do n''t you think you are exposing those two nice girls unnecessarily to danger?"
28780Do n''t you understand?
28780Do n''t you?"
28780Do you hear me?
28780Do you imagine my men were not in his camp?
28780Do you know that his corrupt influence has extended into every nation of Asia?
28780Do you know what happens to white women when they are stranded, penniless, friendless, in this country?"
28780Do you know where Bobbie MacLaurin is?"
28780Do you mean what I said about Liauchow?"
28780Do you mind if I tell you, Eileen, that it broke my heart when I realized that we would n''t see one another for goodness knows how long a time?"
28780Do you remember those evenings, Peter, under the moon and the Southern Cross?"
28780Do you still love her?"
28780Do you understand that, Peter Moore?"
28780Do you understand?
28780Do-- do you think I would make you unhappy?"
28780Does it hum-- or what?"
28780Does n''t it-- appeal to you-- just a little-- to be all alone with me for nearly a hundred miles?"
28780Does not that appeal to you?"
28780Does that sound like heroics?
28780Eh, Peter?"
28780Eh?"
28780Emiguel Borria, ardent tool of the Gray Dragon?
28780Emiguel Borria, husband of the girl Romola?
28780Ever hear of one?"
28780Ever?"
28780Expect me to believe that, too, eh?"
28780Get that-- you yellow weasel?"
28780Going to make a break for it, too?"
28780Had Captain Jones consented to and perhaps aided in this mid- river tryst?
28780Had he been observing perhaps the word but not the letter of his self- assumed oath?
28780Had his red- faced pursuer caught up in time?
28780Had it been possible for the Mongolian to signal his master in Len Yang and receive an answer while the_ Hankow_ lay at Ichang?
28780Had she been staring, not at him, but beyond him, over the miles to a detestable scene, a view of horror?
28780Had that noble soul been snatched down by the River of Golden Sands?
28780Had this stuttering static anything in kind with those other formless events?
28780Have I said that this was St. Valentine''s Day?
28780Have I seen him to ask questions?"
28780Have I talked to you in vain?
28780Have one of my ropes?"
28780Have you heard a broken down auxiliary asking for help?
28780Have you listened in?"
28780Have you such a knife?"
28780Have you them?"
28780Have you told him help is coming?"
28780He owns other mines?"
28780How could Peter say no?
28780How could he, alone, armed only with an automatic revolver, hope to overpower professional riflemen who numbered at the least forty?
28780How did I get in?
28780How does that appeal to you?"
28780How had the Gray Dragon brought pressure upon the American ambassador, a man of the highest repute, of sterling and patriotic qualities?
28780How long have I waited for such an opportunity?
28780How long?
28780How long?
28780How will you explain?"
28780How would the spirit of that mob react to the announcement?
28780How''s the air?
28780Huh?"
28780I beg pardon?"
28780I have come back to China, not to start trouble, but simply because-- well, why are you in China?"
28780I thought-- but what does it matter what I thought?"
28780I trust----""Why?"
28780I-- I''d like----""Then why do n''t you?"
28780I-- I----""What have you done to these people?
28780I?
28780I_ am_ sure''""There''s little more to say, then, is there?"
28780If he desired to run away from this very actual danger in which direction could he run?
28780If it is written that I am to die, why give Death cause to be angry?
28780If not, what terrified creature was invoking his aid in this blundering fashion?
28780Is any one proof against it but me?
28780Is any one?
28780Is it twenty years-- or forty-- or a thousand-- since that night in the bazaar at Mangalore?"
28780Is n''t my gun loaded with bullets?
28780Is n''t that the truth?"
28780Is that not true?"
28780Is that why you''ve come back?"
28780Is this-- is this all?"
28780It gave you confidence in yourself, did it not?"
28780It is a terrible habit, is n''t it?"
28780It is my life to bring a little hope, a little gladness into the hearts----""You stand there and tell me that you know the code?"
28780Ja?"
28780Ja?"
28780Kidnapped?
28780Love?
28780Mandarin?"
28780May I say-- I am very grateful?"
28780Miss Vost-- do I pronounce it correctly?
28780Moore?"
28780Moore?"
28780Moore?"
28780Moore?"
28780My duty?
28780My other question is this: Why does that beast search the world for beautiful women-- and consign them to the mines?"
28780Naradia, how many?"
28780Now savvy?"
28780Now-- ready?"
28780Now----""Did you lick him?"
28780Of course, the first thing I want to make sure of is, am I stepping on anybody''s toes?
28780Oh, I''m so glad----""You knew?
28780Oh, wo n''t you understand?
28780On the other hand, might n''t it be possible that Eileen Lorimer had ceased to care for him?
28780Once or twice he''s tried to make love, and you could see, could n''t you, how furious he was when we left him?"
28780Or just temporarily off your nut?
28780Or was he hungry for that glimpse?
28780Or, are you leavin''the radio unwatched?"
28780Or-- is it India-- or Afghanistan?"
28780Or-- less?
28780Perhaps you are the best operator on the whole Pacific Ocean; you''ve had that reputation now-- how long-- five years?
28780Perhaps-- perhaps a girl who is not so silly as I have been?
28780Peter-- can you understand?
28780Proud?
28780Remember?
28780Savvy?
28780Savvy?"
28780Savvy?"
28780Savvy?"
28780Savvy?"
28780Savvy?"
28780Savvy?"
28780Savvy?"
28780Say-- say, Moore, when does the fight start?
28780See?
28780Shall I tell you how many men she has put out of the way at my bidding before and after she met you?
28780Shall we consider ourselves properly introduced?"
28780Shall we turn in now?"
28780She was beckoning?
28780Should he heed it?
28780Spanish_ señorita_?"
28780Stabbed?
28780Still want to go to Japan with me, my dear?"
28780Surely you were not planning to enter Len Yang again alone?"
28780Tell him, or shall I?"
28780Tell me first, what was your power over Romola Borria?"
28780That you, Johnny Driggs?"
28780The Gray Dragon of Len Yang?
28780The man with a legion of a thousand loyal men at his back?"
28780The moon is so impersonal, is n''t it?
28780The_ King of Asia_?
28780The_ Persian Gulf_?
28780Then what of the little golden- haired girl-- the two little golden- haired girls-- you left this afternoon on the bund?"
28780Then, too, there are some papers of mine----""Romola, will this give you the contentment you desire?"
28780Then:"Why did you leave the_ Vandalia_ at Shanghai?"
28780This one shot back the following greeting:"Who are you?
28780To Peter he said:"You recognize your companion of last night?
28780Twice-- means''no?''"
28780Two years, is n''t it, since we were chased out of Panama City by the_ spigotties_?"
28780Understand?"
28780Was he playing quite squarely with Eileen Lorimer?
28780Was he willing to assume the tremendous responsibility?
28780Was n''t it to- day that I was to become immortal, with a knife through my floating ribs, or a bullet in my heart?
28780Was she flirting with him?
28780Was this girl flirting with him, or was hers a deeper interest?
28780Was this killing a part of an elaborate plan?
28780Weeks?
28780Well, what do_ you_ want?
28780Were these the sounds which had unnerved Dale?
28780What Chinamen?"
28780What agony are you talking about?
28780What are they for?
28780What are you doing up at this time of night playing with a baby coil?"
28780What band?"
28780What becomes of them?"
28780What brings you here?
28780What can I do?"
28780What can be so deliciously harmless as a kiss?
28780What did that one have in store for him now?
28780What difference does time make?
28780What difference what she said?
28780What do you say?
28780What do you suppose has become of that other one whom you met at the_ weng_ into the hills?
28780What do you want?"
28780What does become of the stolen lives?"
28780What follows?
28780What for?
28780What had become of Bobbie MacLaurin?
28780What had become of that dashing British lieutenant, Milton Raynard?
28780What had he made up his mind to do?
28780What happened to that scoundrel, Kahn Meng?
28780What have you ever done?
28780What have you to say?"
28780What is Len Yang?"
28780What is it?
28780What is the news from home?"
28780What is the news from outside?
28780What is this place?"
28780What more can any man say?"
28780What should a young lover have done?
28780What was the fellow doing?
28780What was this girl doing in Shanghai?
28780What will become of you as the years pass?
28780What would you have done, Peter Moore-- you who know so well the heart of woman?
28780What''s happened to him?"
28780What''s on your mind?
28780What''s the meaning?"
28780What''s your game, eh?
28780When does the_ Vandalia_ clear for China?"
28780When would he again penetrate the stronghold of that unhappy red city?
28780When would he do this?
28780When would he meet the Gray Dragon face to face?
28780Where are the girls?"
28780Where are we?
28780Where are you drifting?
28780Where are you?"
28780Where could he seek refuge?
28780Where have I seen that face before?
28780Where have they taken her?"
28780Where is Bobbie?"
28780Where is Jen?"
28780Where is she?
28780Where was Kahn Meng?
28780Where were the Whipple girls and Anthony?
28780Where were the girls, Anthony, the young lieutenant from the_ Madrusa_?
28780Where were the servants, the caravan boys, the muleteers, the traders and merchants?
28780Where''s everybody?"
28780Where''s she from?
28780Where''s she going?
28780Where, then, were Jen and his Chinese?
28780Which one?
28780Who can see into any man''s heart?"
28780Who could say?
28780Who in thunder said anything about prolonging the agony?
28780Who is outside?"
28780Who is she?
28780Who will not dare?
28780Who''s the girl?"
28780Who''s with her?
28780Whose toes do you think you''re stepping on?"
28780Why are you so far from Ching- Fu?
28780Why did they bring you here?
28780Why did you do that?
28780Why did you t''row him over der side, eh?"
28780Why do you stare at me so?
28780Why does your little mind single out such simple punishment-- you-- lovers?
28780Why enter the lion''s den?
28780Why had no shots been fired at them as they climbed the silver road?
28780Why had she come into his room?
28780Why had she not gone aboard the_ Manchuria_, as she had promised?
28780Why had the girl ignored him?
28780Why had two notes been thrown?
28780Why have n''t Jen and his gang broken in here?
28780Why is he waiting?
28780Why prolong the agony?
28780Why should he care?"
28780Why should you pick me for such a thing when you never saw me?
28780Why the devil''ve you been dodging me all over South China to- day?
28780Why, Peter-- why did n''t you wait?
28780Why, what is there left in yours?
28780Why-- why do you hesitate?"
28780Why-- why is it?"
28780Why?"
28780Will I break into the house and help you rob?"
28780Will you accompany us, Peter Moore-- Naradia and I and our followers?
28780Will you do that?"
28780Will you find out, if you can, if he is going to be sober enough to make the trip-- and let me know?"
28780Will you handle an M- S- G for me?"
28780Will you retire?
28780Will you try to find him for me?
28780Will you-- help me?"
28780Will you?
28780With the crew?
28780Wo n''t that suffice until the morning?
28780Wo n''t you do-- that-- for me?"
28780Wo n''t you get your feet wet?
28780Wo n''t you please tell me just what you do know about my activities in this neighborhood?"
28780Wo n''t you say-- yes?"
28780Wo n''t you stop and consider?
28780Wo n''t you?
28780Would he shoot through the pane?
28780Would the jovial little captain be quite so jovial viewing these incriminating circumstances?
28780Would the lights be Hi- Tai- Sha-- Tsung- min?--port or starboard?
28780Would the one be waiting?
28780Would the sampan be waiting?
28780Would you do that?"
28780Would you like to gaze upon that which can never be yours?"
28780Years?"
28780Yet the devils of darkness-- where were they?
28780You are feeling stronger?"
28780You are one of the ship''s officers, are you not?"
28780You did n''t know that?"
28780You do not mind if I call you_ birahi_ in our last moment together?"
28780You have never gone up the river with us to load at Soo- chow?"
28780You have not by any chance, in another of those careless moods of yours, happened to tamper with the bullets, have you?"
28780You heard my call?"
28780You knew that?"
28780You know the name-- the City of Stolen Lives?
28780You savvy, Chink- a- link?"
28780You thought I was just an innocent, helpless little thing, now did n''t you?
28780You were stunned, perhaps?"
28780You will excuse me, wo n''t you, until to- night?"
28780You will promise me that?"
28780You will wear it, great one, around thy middle?"
28780You will-- or wo n''t you?"
28780You''ll be there, without fail?"
28780You''ll go, wo n''t you?"
28780You''re both all right?"
28780You''re not hurt, are you?
28780You''re----""Well?"
28780_ Nidzen yang gïang_?"
28780_ P''êng- yu_ Moore, we wo n''t bother the servants; wo n''t you help me?"
28780observed Blanchard in the crisp, brittle accents of senility;"so you''re back again, eh?
34058''But,''I said to him,''is it not among those papers?'' 34058 ''What if I should recover?''
34058''Why is it not there?'' 34058 A Commissary?"
34058A murder?
34058A person whom you did not know? 34058 A vow made to whom?"
34058Ah, Monsieur le Juge,cried the agent,"if you permit it who knows but that we may revolutionize medical jurisprudence?"
34058Am I already accused?
34058Am I one of the accused?
34058And M. Ginory thinks that it will not help his candidature at the Academy? 34058 And did you see him often?"
34058And did you, in your walk, meet any one whom you knew?
34058And does it not seem,asked the Examining Magistrate,"as if they were fixed with that expression on the murderer?"
34058And how can you tell that?
34058And if M. Ginory asks for your professional secret?
34058And that is why you kept silent?
34058And the other one?
34058And this Breton; how old was he?
34058And this daughter?
34058And what did she say in her deposition?
34058And what if the last image seen, in fact, that of the murderer, still remains upon the retina of the eyes?
34058And whom do you think could have had any interest in this matter?
34058And will it add to the happiness of man? 34058 And you, Pradès, have you ever seen Jacques Dantin?"
34058And,asked Dantin, with a vehemence which made the registrar''s thin hand tremble as it flew over the paper,"what do you understand?"
34058And?
34058Any one?
34058Art thou going with him?
34058But if I give you my word of honor that it has not the slightest bearing on the matter-- with the death of Rovère?
34058But if you should see him again would you recognize him?
34058But this one to- day?
34058But what for? 34058 But yet can you, or, rather, I should say, ought you not to relate to me all that was said or done?
34058But--and M. Ginory repeated his"Who knows?"
34058Did anything about him especially strike you?
34058Did you go into some shop?
34058Did you know him intimately?
34058Didst thou discover the trail?
34058Do you believe that he had many enemies?
34058Do you believe that it is the work of a thief, or revenge?
34058Do you know the name of the visitor?
34058Do you know what Jacques Dantin does? 34058 Do you know what happened?
34058Do you know who that gentleman is standing near the hearse?
34058Do you not see that this picture bears a resemblance to you?
34058Do you remember the young man who came one day and insisted on seeing Monsieur le Consul?
34058Do you suspect anyone as the murderer of Rovère?
34058For how many years?
34058Had Rovère any enemies?
34058Had Rovère changed the frame?
34058Had it been forced open?
34058Had you seen him recently? 34058 Have I not paid my debt?"
34058Have you any matches?
34058Have you ever had any reason for the interruptions in your relations with M. Rovère when you ceased to see him, as you say?
34058Have you had this portrait a long time?
34058Have you reflected?
34058He repeated in a hoarse, frightened voice:''Where, where have I hidden that? 34058 How can I explain?
34058I beg your pardon, M. le Juge, but what do you mean by of late?
34058I have truly found in the retina of the dead man''s eye the last vision he saw when living?
34058I saw Rovère only after he was dead, with his throat cut-- assassinated by whom? 34058 I will pass over all the details of our life, shall I not?
34058I will repeat to you my first question--''Why?''
34058I? 34058 Impossible?"
34058In short, you have no_ alibi_?
34058In spite of what I have said to you? 34058 Is it a long time since M. Rovère and Jacques Dantin have known each other?"
34058Is it from your little notes that you have learned all that?
34058Is it not?
34058Is it of yourself of whom you speak?
34058Is there anything to risk?
34058Jacques Dantin?
34058M. Rovère? 34058 May I go along with you?"
34058Messieurs, does not the expression of the open eyes strike you?
34058Monsieur Rovère? 34058 Never?"
34058No, Monsieur Ginory, and shall I tell you why? 34058 Not one?
34058Of late, have you seen M. Rovère frequently?
34058Of whom do you speak?
34058Papa,interrupted the eldest of the three little girls,"canst thou take us to see the trial, when he shall be sworn?"
34058So, according to your opinion, I have not deceived myself?
34058That other-- who is he?
34058That seems very simple to you?
34058That? 34058 The accused?"
34058The frame? 34058 The last time?"
34058The portrait?
34058The whole truth?
34058Then it is possible? 34058 Then the addresses are in your writing?"
34058Then thou wilt need a lamp?
34058Then you can not furnish any information about the man who sold this portrait?
34058Then?
34058Then?
34058Then?
34058They could see the bars in the grating? 34058 This is not a conference; is it not so?
34058Those coupons,asked Dantin rather anxiously,"have they, then, been stolen?"
34058To find an occasion to make me speak? 34058 To go where?"
34058WHERE does Bernardet live?
34058Was there between you any sort of rivalry, any motive for coldness?
34058Well, and what does this mean?
34058Well?
34058Well?
34058What I want to know is, how did he live and whom did he receive?
34058What are insignificant things?
34058What are these scratches around the edge as if nails had been drawn across the places?
34058What do I risk? 34058 What do you mean by that, Bernardet?"
34058What do you wish to have me say? 34058 What gentleman?
34058What gentleman?
34058What good will that do?
34058What if you do not, you can not deny your presence in the house at the moment of Rovère''s death----"Why can not I deny it?"
34058What is it, Bernardet?
34058What is that room there?
34058What is that?
34058What kind of a man was your lodger?
34058What past?
34058What poison will you drink before you die?
34058When did you visit Rovère the last time?
34058Where are you going?
34058Where?
34058Who brought it here?
34058Who is Moniche?
34058Who is that man?
34058Who knows?
34058Why do you say that to me? 34058 Why?"
34058Will you answer?
34058Will you not let me die in peace?
34058Will you tell me all that passed in that last interview?
34058Would you condemn him?
34058Would you condemn him?
34058You are a Bordelais?
34058You are called?
34058You are not a magistrate, then?
34058You are not convinced?
34058You know that this murder has aroused a great deal of interest?
34058You never saw the woman who visited Rovère?
34058You refuse to speak?
34058You say that it resembles me?
34058You still refuse to reply?
34058Your age?
34058Your first name?
34058Your name?
34058Your profession?
34058Your residence?
34058--"What if we try it this time; will it inconvenience you, my dear Master?"
34058After one or two monosyllabic answers, the driver mockingly asked:"Are you going to the Souricière( trap) to tease some fat rat?"
34058And did it hinder him from coming to that?"
34058And did not M. Rovère have the appearance of a worthy man also?
34058And that friend-- what name did he bear?
34058And the other?
34058And where did you dig this up?"
34058And who knows?
34058And who was this other dealer of whom the Magistrate spoke and whom he had called a second time?
34058And why not have this meeting take place at once, before Pradès was sent where Dantin was, at Mazas?
34058And why not?
34058And why"--"Why, what?"
34058And you?"
34058And, moreover, unless I deceive myself, what danger attends such an experiment?
34058Are there any married people here?
34058As for the rest, who knows?"
34058At the moment Bernardet came up, followed by the concierge, a coupé stopped at the door and a tall man got out, asking:"Where is M. Morel?
34058At what hour was Rovère killed?"
34058Avaricious?
34058Because I looked astonished at what you have told me?
34058Because you do refuse?"
34058Bernardet affably replied:"I?
34058Bernardet good- naturedly replied:"Ah, my dear, where is the harm?"
34058Bernardet turned a ladleful of hot soup into her husband''s plate she softly asked:"Are there no innocent ones condemned?
34058Bernardet, ordinarily smiling, would say with a sigh:"Is it possible that such sacrilegious things are permitted in the quarter?"
34058Bernardet,"what if he is innocent?"
34058Bernardet;"art thou certain?
34058Bernardet?"
34058Buenos Ayres?"
34058But did this one know Dantin?
34058But guilty-- you believe him guilty?"
34058But how could this picture have come into this bric- a- brac shop, and of whom could the dealer have obtained it?
34058But how, after that swoon and that crisis, could I speak to him again of his daughter, of that which he wished to leave her, to give, in trust, to me?
34058But how?
34058But if Dantin said nothing, was it because he had nothing to say?
34058But then,"Dantin?"
34058But there is no doubt, is there, Monsieur Bernardet?
34058But to you-- to you"----"To me alone?"
34058But what does that signify?"
34058But would Dantin confess?
34058By whom?
34058Colard''s?
34058Colard?"
34058Did he expect judges to make photographs?
34058Did the dead man possess a secret which weighed heavily upon him, and which he shared with that other?
34058Did they think she was a spy, an informer?
34058Do they not catch, by photography, the last sighs of the dying?
34058Do they not fix upon the film or on plates that mysterious thing which haunts us, the occult?
34058Do you hear?"
34058Do you never deceive yourself?"
34058Do you not wish to reply?"
34058Do you still insist on keeping, I know not what secret, which you will not reveal to us?"
34058Do you still persist in your system?
34058Do you think that it is easy to discover a criminal?
34058Do you understand?
34058Do you want me to tell you something?
34058Does that help you any?"
34058Fifty francs, eh?
34058Fifty?"
34058First name?"
34058For the last time, do you still persist in this?"
34058For what good?
34058Ginory?"
34058Ginory?"
34058Had Paul Rodier invented all the information to which he had treated the public?
34058Had Rovère any family?
34058Had he-- sometimes one has presentiments-- any presentiment of an impending evil, that he was running any danger?"
34058Had not an accused man a right to speak?
34058Had not an examining magistrate a right to know everything?
34058Had savants been able to solve this wonderful mystery?
34058Had the novelist written a romance in order to follow the example of his friend?
34058Have you any unpublished facts?"
34058Have you arrested me?"
34058He added:"Is it plain enough for me to see it so that I can from it imagine a living being?
34058He had only to say:"What of it?
34058He then added:"Is Monsieur Bernardet here?"
34058He waited a moment before speaking, and suddenly put this question, thrust at Dantin like a knife- blow:"Are you a gambler, as I find?"
34058His look of bravado seemed to say:"Do you dare?
34058His wife asked him,"Art thou ill?"
34058How could one suppose that an innocent man would hold, for a long time, to this mute system?
34058How did it come here?"
34058How much do you want for this picture?"
34058How much is it?"
34058I hid that-- where did I put it?''
34058If at the instant when M. Ginory pressed the ivory button the other day, if the man had been able to defend himself, would he not have done it?
34058If he had given no explanation, was it because he had none to give?
34058If that was visible, why could not the visage of the murderer be found there?"
34058If the picture of some one was graven there, was it not the last image reflected on the little mirror of the retina?
34058In twenty- six years from now, who knows what science will have done?
34058In which one?''
34058In your last interview was there any talk between you of any uneasiness which he felt in regard to anything?
34058Is it not fantastic, Monsieur Ginory?
34058Is it you, Bernardet?
34058Is that you?
34058It is possible?"
34058It was you, I suppose, who gave it to Rovère?"
34058M. Ginory said to him in a short tone:"Have the notes been brought?"
34058M. Rovère-- you did not know him?"
34058Might he not have been assassinated by some thief who knew that his rooms contained a collection of works of art?
34058Moniche,"interrupted Bernardet,"have you any one whom you can send for a Commissary?"
34058Moniche?"
34058Moniche?"
34058Monsieur Bernardet, what new?"
34058Must he stop there in these famous experiments which ended in this lie?
34058My brother, do you wish to see your wife decompose?
34058My wife went to his room to read the papers"---- Bernardet interrupted him brusquely:"When did it happen?"
34058Not a trace?"
34058Now, whose portrait is that?"
34058Of what was he thinking?
34058Oh, well, to- day ought not a like experiment on the retina of a dead man''s eye give a like result?
34058On page 111, a paragraph marker was placed after"Why?".
34058On page 121, the quotation mark was removed after"Rovère''s murder?".
34058Once more-- did nothing in his face strike you?"
34058Only, have you thought of the woman in black who came occasionally to see the ex- Consul?"
34058Or was this woman also an accomplice, and would she remain silent, hidden in the Province?
34058Or would the death of Rovère draw her to Paris, where she might be recognized and become a witness for Justice?
34058Ought he abandon all research on a road which ended in a cul- de- sac?
34058Pointing out Pradès, he asked:"Do you recognize this man?"
34058Pradès stammered:"Then-- you will hold me?
34058Rovère said to her rather roughly:''What are you here for?''
34058Rovère?"
34058She spelled out:"Charles-- Charles Breton-- Rue de la Condamine, 16"----"Charles Breton,"Bernardet repeated;"who is this Charles Breton?
34058Should he hide?
34058So it was nothing strange when the woman, urged by curiosity, suddenly appeared in his rooms, for him to say:"Ah, you here?
34058The child asked her father in a sweet voice:"Art thou satisfied with thy crime, papa?"
34058The drunken man probably thought him insolent for, still hiccoughing, he answered:"Oh, you want it, do you?
34058The eldest murmured:"Yes, what if mamma is right?"
34058The last word of his agony?
34058The shop woman looked at Bernardet defiantly and asked this question:"Do you know the man whose portrait that is?"
34058Then he said:"My name?
34058Then the Count, very pale, said:"And what if I crack your head?"
34058Then, the day Rovère was assassinated where were you?"
34058Then-- I am not free?"
34058They menaced some one-- who?
34058Think, then, my dear Master, the exterior objects must have imprinted themselves on the retina, did they not?
34058This woman in black, found in the province, did she really exist?
34058Those are Baudry''s initials?"
34058Understand?"
34058Was he a miser?
34058Was he occupied with any especial affair?
34058Was he one of M. Rovère''s intimate friends?"
34058Was it bitterness of spirit?
34058Was it possible?
34058Was it sorrow?
34058What did he want of him?
34058What do you mean?"
34058What do you want for it?
34058What do you want of that?
34058What does it mean?"
34058What enemy had entered his room for the purpose of cutting his throat?
34058What frame was he talking of?
34058What frame?"
34058What good are they?
34058What had his habits, his customs, his vices even, to do with this cause for which he had been cited, to do with Rovère''s murder?
34058What if M. Bernardet had thought fit to speak?
34058What if he had not persisted in believing that photography would reveal the truth?
34058What if this Dantin, who spoke of leaving Paris, should disappear, should escape the examination?
34058What if this young man with the strange hat was, by chance, the unknown for whom he was seeking?
34058What is his name?"
34058What miserable little affair occupied M. Ginory?
34058What secret?
34058What was his manner of living?
34058What was the secret of his end?
34058What were the passions, the vices, of the man standing there with the austere mien of a Huguenot, in front of the open grave?
34058What, then, was M. Rovère''s past?"
34058When M. Ginory asked her if she still persisted in saying that this was the man who had sold her the picture, she said:"Do I still persist?
34058Where could he now be in hiding?
34058Where is the unsuitableness?"
34058Where was he from?
34058Where was this witness with"the new deposition?"
34058Where will it all end?
34058Where, where have I put it?''
34058Who made that wound which had ended his life?
34058Who sold you the painting?"
34058Who was he?
34058Who would be chief mourner?
34058Whom did M. Ginory wish to designate?
34058Why did he speak to me of Monsieur Rovère?"
34058Why did his presence seem of so much importance to this Examining Magistrate?
34058Why did that inferior officer have the audacity to give his opinion on the subject of conducting a judicial investigation?
34058Why did this man ask him if he was a gambler?
34058Why did you arrest me?
34058Why had he been so quickly moved by an unknown name if it had not recalled to his mind some frightful thought?
34058Why should this Dantin leave Paris?
34058Wilt thou not rest to- day?"
34058Would he ever be at liberty?
34058Would he find that a false name and a false address had been given?
34058Would not a man have been shut up as a lunatic thirty years ago who would have pretended that he had discovered that?
34058Would the Examining Magistrate yet find it an idiotic idea?
34058Would they give her a living?''
34058Would you like to see your husband disappear, my sister?
34058Yes, Monsieur, those eyes, did you see them, the eyes of the dead man?
34058Yes, he is taking advantage of the beautiful day; he is taking a group"----"What group?"
34058Yes; what if to that clear, decisive deposition we could add another-- what would you have to say?"
34058You no longer believe that it is a comedy?
34058You understand, Monsieur?
34058You understand?"
34058You want it?
34058You wish to speak to me?"
34058and impose upon it limits which can not be passed?
34058and what did he do?"
34058and will it diminish grief, wickedness and crime?"
34058but if he has disappeared?
34058do n''t you know?"
34058exclaimed the Examining Magistrate,"then it is something strange, your experiment?"
34058his means of existence?
34058if you only will, and what would it cost you?"
34058must we go back to that?"
34058my poor Sunday, and this evening-- can we not go to the little theatre at Montmartre this evening?"
34058said Ginory, mockingly;"it was a vow?
34058said M. Ginory,"you recognize it then?"
30586A cigarette, Fandor?
30586A fresh crime-- that''s what you mean?
30586A pass?
30586A visitor, perhaps?
30586Afraid? 30586 Ah!--I know you now, but why this disguise?"
30586All right, this evening?
30586And Fantômas? 30586 And Loupart?"
30586And after dinner, what did you do?
30586And afterwards?
30586And how about the Dixon business?
30586And how are you going to set about it?
30586And how did you get here?
30586And how do visitors pass in?
30586And if I bade you go?
30586And if Loupart does n''t appear?
30586And if Loupart should enter the Cité in the meantime?
30586And on a second inspection?
30586And show Loupart we are aware of his purpose? 30586 And that was the end?"
30586And the Mother Superior, what did she think of it all-- what would she say?
30586And the door of your room to the landing remained locked all night?
30586And the passes? 30586 And then?"
30586And then?
30586And to whom does this place belong?
30586And took a liking to him?
30586And what are we to do when we arrive there?
30586And what does this old M. Mahon do, Juve?
30586And what is Nonet about now?
30586And what is the cause of the unusual dampness? 30586 And what is your plan of action, Juve?"
30586And what was her answer to that?
30586And where are the other halves of the notes?
30586And who are you, sir?
30586And who tracked you?
30586And you call it a commonplace affair? 30586 And you heard nothing, although you were only a few yards away?"
30586And you know no more than that?
30586And you, Mademoiselle, have been seeing something of him lately?
30586Anyone there?
30586Anything fresh?
30586Anything new?
30586Are there ghosts?
30586Are they with him now?
30586Are those your agents whistling?
30586Are you going from here to his place?
30586Are you in the habit of bolting yourself into your room?
30586Are you losing your senses?
30586Are you working now?
30586Bah, what farce are you playing here? 30586 But suppose my moustache had come off?"
30586But what are you doing here, Juve?
30586But where the devil are we bound for?
30586But whom could they murder? 30586 But why the disguise?
30586But you''ll come back?
30586But,objected Fandor in the same key,"what if I lose sight of him?"
30586By the by, Sergeant, are there no servants here? 30586 Can he be a messenger of Loupart''s?
30586Come, now, Juve, have you eyes in your back? 30586 Dead?
30586Did you have that hole made in the door?
30586Did you make an appointment with her?
30586Did you see?
30586Do n''t you?
30586Do you hear that low hissing, that dull rustling?
30586Do you know them, Paulot?
30586Do you recognise Michel and Léon?
30586Do you suppose we''d be making this row if we were criminals?
30586Do you think your lover will attach much weight to the arrest of Juve? 30586 Do you think your opponent would have been capable of trying to injure you to keep you out of the ring?"
30586Doctor Chaleck? 30586 Everybody believe it, do n''t they?"
30586Everywhere at once? 30586 Excuse me, who goes there?"
30586Fandor, you hear what that man''s singing; the one drinking at the bar?
30586Fandor?
30586For all that, what makes you say they are spirits?
30586For me?
30586Gone? 30586 Had you a large sum of money in your safe?"
30586Have I the honour of speaking to the Mother Superior?
30586Have I told you that I was Fantômas?
30586Have you been over the house?
30586Have you ever looped the loop?
30586Have you noticed this, sir?
30586Have you proofs of his existence?
30586Have you seen them?
30586Here; is that all you want to- day?
30586How about this broken glass in your window? 30586 How can we get at that?"
30586How did he come there? 30586 How did you get here yourself?"
30586How do you know?
30586How goes it?
30586How many will there be?
30586How soon the first train to Paris?
30586How''s that?
30586I should very much like to know,continued the director,"why you said you knew the reasons for the threat being sent by this man to his mistress?"
30586I suppose you asked for the number again?
30586I suppose you distrust me for giving you the slip with another man?
30586I? 30586 If I am not mistaken, it was you who attended to Lady Beltham''s garden?"
30586In four days, then?
30586Is he-- easy to recognise?
30586Is her murderer taken?
30586Is his condition serious?
30586Is it too high to jump?
30586Is n''t that a bit risky?
30586Is she a patient of yours?
30586Is that you, Charles? 30586 Is that your usual habit?"
30586Is this a new hospital regulation?
30586Is this the person Josephine was to meet?
30586It is not your maid?
30586It is very serious then?
30586It''s easy enough to talk, but what can two do against twenty? 30586 It''s well to know one''s Paris and have friends everywhere, is n''t it?"
30586It''s you that I love and you alone-- let''s go, take me away, wo n''t you?
30586Juve, are you certain that we have got them?
30586Juve?
30586Leave Loupart? 30586 Look here, Juve, why should these people whistle''The Blue Danube''if they are not detectives?"
30586Look here, what are you at?
30586Look here,he said,"where do you come from, Michel?
30586Loupart,stammered Josephine, in a choking voice,"do n''t kill me-- what have I done?"
30586M. Mahon? 30586 Madame, have you a tenant here named Mahon?"
30586Motor,cried Mother Toulouche,"I have to be away for ten minutes or so; look after my basket, will you?"
30586Mr. Director,said Juve,"I fancy we have inspected pretty well all the persons who leave Lâriboisière as a rule, at this time?"
30586My dear friend, will you open the door for me?
30586My reticences?
30586My wife? 30586 Neat or with water?"
30586No one?
30586Now''s the time to show clean hands,joked a non- resident,"eh, Miss Victorine?"
30586Now? 30586 Oh, not here; surely you will accept a glass?"
30586Oh, the damp? 30586 Oh, you''ll help me, wo n''t you?
30586On this blank paper?
30586People still talk of these incidents?
30586Probably, but what should we have done with it? 30586 Quite so,"was Juve''s reply, and putting his hands on Chaleck''s shoulders he inquired:"A friend of yours, a mistress, eh?
30586Remorse? 30586 Say, have we much further to go?"
30586Shall I arrest him?
30586Shall I get a copy?
30586Shall I ring?
30586She does not live here?
30586She knew that you were carrying money?
30586Sir, can you direct me to the Rue du Croissant?
30586Sister,Fandor inquired anxiously,"who is that nun who walks at the head?"
30586Some one waiting for you?
30586Sure?
30586Tell me, my friend, precisely how Doctor Chaleck''s leaving the hospital came about?
30586Thank you, sir; could you give me a light?
30586That accursed workshop been keeping you again after hours?
30586That confirms my suspicions; eh, Juve?
30586That you, sir?
30586That''s all very well,replied Fandor,"but as the lady is dead, how are we going to set about it?"
30586That''s our job to- morrow evening? 30586 The bell calls you, no doubt, Sister?"
30586The name of the woman, counsel, her name, I beg of you?
30586The porter did n''t question you?
30586Then how do you know we were at the Cité Frochot?
30586Then it was a third person who gave it?
30586Then was it you? 30586 Then what was Juve doing in the taxi which was rolling after you?"
30586Then what was her business with those spies, the Sapper and Nonet?
30586Then you did not get up at all?
30586Then you have n''t any plain- clothes men here?
30586Then you want me to write my article?
30586Then you''re attached to this hospital?
30586Then you''re not comfortable here?
30586Then, Juve, how do you account for it that during my visit Dixon tricked me and kept me from meeting Josephine while making believe to look for her? 30586 There is no access to the room except by the door we came in at?"
30586There is only one staircase?
30586There''ll be no train for Paris till then?
30586This disguise for a commonplace affair?
30586This refers to Loupart, alias the Square?
30586This time you went to see?
30586This train does n''t go to Marseilles?
30586To Dijon?
30586To whom do you wish to speak?
30586Very well, if we have nothing better to do we will take a trip to Nogent day after to- morrow; eh, Fandor?
30586Waiting again for the Square, eh, Josephine?
30586Want to try them?
30586Well, Fandor,asked the Secretary,"nothing more for me?"
30586Well, Juve, what have you found out during my absence?
30586Well, Léon?
30586Well, ai n''t we going to catch and arrest her?
30586Well, what are you going to do now, Juve?
30586Well, what do you conclude from this?
30586Well, what have you discovered?
30586Well, what then?
30586Well,cried the old fence,"I got wind that something was going on here, and I said to myself,''Why should n''t Mother Toulouche be in it as well?''
30586Well,replied Juve,"is the bird in the nest?"
30586Well?
30586Well?
30586Were you able to determine the nature of the thing that was gripping you?
30586Were you not ready to leave everything, Lady Beltham, to make a new life for yourself with-- him you love?
30586What affair?
30586What am I to do meanwhile?
30586What are the means of access to the female ward?
30586What are they?
30586What can I do for you, sir?
30586What can we deduce from that?
30586What can you expect?
30586What comes next?
30586What damage did she receive?
30586What did they want of me?
30586What did you do then?
30586What did your mother answer?
30586What do you make of it?
30586What do you make of that?
30586What do you mean?
30586What do you propose to do?
30586What do you think of doing?
30586What do you want of me? 30586 What do you want with me?"
30586What do you want? 30586 What do you want?"
30586What does it mean, Loupart? 30586 What does it mean?"
30586What does she do at this branch?
30586What does that mean?
30586What fresh news have you to tell us?
30586What have I come here for? 30586 What is going on?"
30586What is happening? 30586 What is his business here?"
30586What is it? 30586 What is it?"
30586What is it?
30586What is that?
30586What is that?
30586What is that?
30586What is the matter?
30586What is up?
30586What is your age?
30586What is your height?
30586What is your name?
30586What makes you think that, sir?
30586What now?
30586What the devil could happen? 30586 What then?"
30586What time was it when you went to bed?
30586What trail are you following?
30586What''s all that now?
30586What''s the matter with her? 30586 What''s up?"
30586What''s up?
30586What? 30586 What?"
30586What?
30586When does it arrive?
30586When will the line be cleared?
30586When will you begin to draw in your net?
30586Where are we bound for?
30586Where are we going?
30586Where are you coming from?
30586Where did I tell you to go?
30586Where is Josephine?
30586Where is Josephine?
30586Where is she off to? 30586 Where to?"
30586Where was she going? 30586 Where were you born?"
30586Where?
30586Who else do you see in the room?
30586Who is that gentleman?
30586Who is there?
30586Who mentioned it?
30586Why did you let it be supposed I was dead?
30586Why did you yourself leave here two days before the crime at the Cité Frochot?
30586Why do you wish to force me to leave my dear companions?
30586Why not round up the bunch?
30586Why not?
30586Why should they come and inquire for me?
30586Why the devil should I stand you a drink?
30586Why, to be sure I do recall certain incidents, but wo n''t you refresh my memory?
30586Why? 30586 Why?"
30586Why?
30586Women, too?
30586Would you gentlemen like to see the house?
30586Yes, doctor, but----"But, what? 30586 Yes, sir, you knew?"
30586You did n''t notice the strange get- up of the burglars? 30586 You found nothing?"
30586You gentlemen have come to see the house?
30586You had to make a great effort to prevent being crushed or broken?
30586You have a plan, Juve? 30586 You have told her that all precautions will be taken?"
30586You knew Valgrand?
30586You know him, sir?
30586You know where to lay hands on the rest?
30586You live by prostitution?
30586You made inquiries?
30586You pumped her?
30586You refer to the train affair?
30586You remember Valgrand, the actor? 30586 You think that such a thing is possible?"
30586You think the police are all- powerful, that we can arrest would- be murderers and render them incapable of harm? 30586 You understand what is going on?"
30586You want to see everything, do n''t you?
30586You will buy, sir, in spite of that?
30586You will excuse me,he went on,"if I leave you for a couple of minutes to put on an overall and my rubber gloves?"
30586You wo n''t spring a''latest''on me?
30586You''d be angry with me, Juve,he declared, in the same jocular strain,"for passing by such a sensational piece of news, would n''t you?"
30586You''ve begun shooting at me, now, have you?
30586You''ve got the beggar?
30586You''ve just come from the Cité Frochot, chief?
30586You''ve not seen Loupart go in?
30586You, Fandor?
30586Your barker is ready, Beard?
30586Your report? 30586 ''I have been very ill, Bonardin,''then suddenly he demanded:''Where is Charlot?'' 30586 ''Is not Fantômas still alive?'' 30586 ''It''s you again?'' 30586 180?
30586About how old is he?"
30586Acetylene lamps, eh?
30586And as the others crowded round, puzzled, Juve added:"Do n''t you see?
30586And desert the doctor?"
30586And his assailant?
30586And of the policemen?
30586And taking line by line the cryptic statement, Juve asked himself further:"What do these phrases signify?
30586And throwing the proof on Fandor''s desk, he said smilingly:"The young woman''s not bad looking, is she?"
30586And what thanks did I get?
30586And, now, shall we go in?"
30586And, turning to Dr. Ardel, he questioned:"Professor, what did you learn from your autopsy?"
30586Anything fresh this morning?"
30586Are they to be in force still?
30586Are you fully informed?"
30586Are you still afraid?"
30586As he reached the third floor he heard Juve''s voice:"Is that you, lad?"
30586As soon as help was forthcoming, Juve, recalled to the duties of his profession, asked himself:"What can have occurred?
30586As the Sapper and Nonet went quickly down the Rue Charbonnière, Nonet inquired:"Well, chief, what do you think of our evening?"
30586At last, overcoming his bashfulness Dixon asked in a voice full of entreaty:"Will you always be so hard- hearted?"
30586At the Magistrate''s question he stopped short, and, turning to M. Fuselier, replied:"Why have I come here?
30586Bend down over the air- holes; what do you think of the gratings that close them?
30586But were Juve and Fandor among the dead?
30586But what has become of your wife?"
30586But, look here, can you trust information given by a loose woman?"
30586By the by, she saw nothing, I suppose?"
30586By the way, are you armed?"
30586By the way, what about young Mimile?"
30586Ca n''t you guess who she is?"
30586Can she have an appointment with Chaleck?"
30586Can this be you, Beard?
30586Can you make anything of it?"
30586Did he fear, above all, that she would tell tales again here at the hospital?
30586Disguising his voice he called out:"Who goes there?"
30586Dixon?"
30586Do n''t you know how to drive?"
30586Do they suspect anyone?"
30586Do you agree?"
30586Do you care to see him?"
30586Do you know what name she took?"
30586Do you remember the directions Josephine gave us?"
30586Do you see any objection to my reasoning?"
30586Do you think her being in this street is due to chance?
30586Do you think that Loupart would try a stroke in broad daylight?"
30586Do you want to stay any longer?"
30586Does he know the woman has rounded on him?
30586Does not that show clearly that Josephine, realising that she is suspected in our eyes, has decided to evade us?"
30586Fandor suddenly asked himself:"Has Josephine made a mistake, too?
30586Fandor was silent and Juve resumed:"That being so, what can we bring against Dixon?
30586Fandor?"
30586Fear?
30586Finette, the coffee is served, wo n''t you join me?"
30586Flatter the ruffian''s vanity?
30586From time to time Loupart questioned the"Beard":"This the way?"
30586Gone where?"
30586Has he learned that?
30586Have I your permission to go down to the cellars and ascertain their condition?"
30586Have you a pass?"
30586Have you anything fresh?"
30586He concluded:"There, I suppose you can turn that into a thrilling story, eh?"
30586He got Josephine away, you say?
30586He heard the waiter jokingly say:"Not very kind, the little lady, eh?"
30586He murmured:"But who then can Doctor Chaleck be?
30586He ogled her, then in a voice of marked cordiality, said:"Can I say a few words to you?"
30586He startled the journalist by suddenly asking him:"Tell me, do you love the army?"
30586He turned to the doctor:"Can a stranger get into the wards by this door?"
30586Her neighbour on the right asked very softly:"Are you Josephine Ramot?"
30586His wife sought to clear up the mystery of his disappearance and went-- where, I ask you?
30586How can you know what is going on at Doctor Chaleck''s table, while you are looking in the opposite direction?"
30586How could I know the weapon was only loaded blank?
30586How could it be?
30586How did matters end?"
30586How did the murderer go to work?
30586How do you account for it?"
30586How else explain the discovery in her bodice of the betraying document?
30586How extract the whole truth from these few words?
30586How is the poor young man doing?"
30586I am not afraid-- only----""Only what?"
30586I have till Dijon, have n''t I?"
30586I recognised men in masks: had I time to look at the details of their costumes?
30586I suppose you''ve been kept pretty busy in ward 22?"
30586In a motor?
30586Is it anything to do with Fantômas?"
30586Is n''t it a signal?"
30586Is n''t my disguise as good as yours?"
30586Is n''t that your opinion?"
30586Is n''t that your view, Fandor?
30586Is not that again a sign of complicity?
30586Is that it?"
30586Is that you, Michel?
30586Is there a telegraph office near at hand?"
30586Is there any harm in giving oneself to the man who loves you?
30586It must also be a creature striking panic, terrifying, formidable: you ask why, Fandor?"
30586It was repeated, and finally a voice cried:"Who is there; what''s the matter?"
30586It''s you, M. Havard?
30586Josephine turned to Loupart:"What else am I to put in the letter?
30586Juve arrested?
30586Juve inquired:"What has happened?"
30586Juve interrupted:"In Heaven''s name, sir, how long ago is it since Lady Beltham called on you?"
30586Juve let fly a tremendous oath, then turned to Fandor and cried:"How about Loupart?"
30586Juve thought for a few moments, then:"After all, what grounds have you for thinking that Dixon should be watched?"
30586Juve, turning to the attendant who was escorting him, asked:"You know the person I was speaking to just now?"
30586Lady Beltham, shaken by a nervous tremour, insisted:"Who betrayed me?
30586Loupart turned to Josephine:"How are things going, ducky?"
30586Loupart went on, greatly satisfied with himself:"And what was Loupart up to?
30586Lowering his eyes he asked:"How are you this morning, fair lady?"
30586M. Fuselier, looking at the detective with a penetrating eye, asked:"You surely have n''t the notion of suspecting Fantômas?"
30586Michel repeated the question:"Well, chief, what''s up?"
30586Must he not come to the conclusion that this woman whose face had been crushed out of all recognition by the murderer was none other than the lady?
30586Must we go on with the shadowing?"
30586No matter, if he felt cold, what did I feel like?"
30586No signs?
30586Not guilty?
30586Now, wo n''t you tell us what brings you here?"
30586Of that poor actor, Bonardin, you half killed?"
30586On what grounds?"
30586One more or less do n''t matter, eh, Josephine?"
30586Or has she a definite purpose in being in a carriage which is to be slipped from the Southern Express at Dijon to go on toward the Swiss frontier?"
30586Palpable typhoid, eh?
30586Plenty of shiners, eh, Josephine?"
30586Pointing to a large door at the extreme end of the corridor, Juve asked:"What exit is that?"
30586Poison, maybe?
30586Probably, but fear of what?"
30586Raymond was?"
30586Raymond?
30586She is a friend of Lady Beltham?"
30586She will be extremely anxious to leave that place and----""And go back to clear herself of treachery in Loupart''s eyes?
30586Should he go down, rush to the Boulevard and try to collar the ruffian?
30586So Chaleck and Loupart were one and the same?
30586So you wrote to the caretaker of the house to let you view it?"
30586Surely he will be well punished?"
30586Taking it all in all, what do we know of Dixon?
30586Tell me, are you not, yourself-- Fantômas?"
30586That''s why you''re chasing to the telegraph office?"
30586The Prefecture?"
30586The Sûreté?
30586The blotting paper has been moved lately, some one has been writing there-- why, what''s wrong with you?"
30586The girl, whose big blue eyes contrasted strikingly with her jet black hair, replied:"Why not?
30586The journalist persisted:"Can I see the Mother Superior?"
30586The latter rose and began walking about the room, then turned sharply and gazed at the young man:"You are quite determined to stay with me?"
30586The mere sight of you----""You thought I was arrested, did n''t you?"
30586The two men, heedless of the disarray of their dress and their painful cramped limbs, spoke both at once, dumbfounded but joyful:"Well, Juve?"
30586The uncle, equally amused, asked:"And what did Lady Beltham think when you told her that?"
30586Then your spirits come and sup here?"
30586Then, turning to Dixon, he resumed:"How did your struggle with the mysterious pressure end?"
30586Then, turning to the professor, he asked:"Could you have brought to us the clothes this woman wore?"
30586Those revolver shots at six in the morning?"
30586To what depths had she sunk?"
30586Turning to Loupart''s mistress, the judge asked abruptly:"What has become of Lady Beltham?"
30586Understand, Fandor?"
30586Valgrand go as companion?"
30586Valgrand wished, you say, that her identity should remain unknown?
30586Was it a trap?
30586Was it that ruffian-- whom they speak of in the papers-- Loupart?"
30586Was the girl playing them false?
30586Were they after her or Loupart?
30586Were you looking for me?"
30586What are you doing?
30586What are you going to do?
30586What brings you here, Fandor?"
30586What can frighten her to that extent?
30586What discover in these crushed limbs, this human form, which is now a shapeless mass?"
30586What do you mean by that?"
30586What do you say to that, sir?"
30586What do you think of my notion?"
30586What do you think?"
30586What do you think?"
30586What does that mean?"
30586What does this mean?"
30586What had become of Lady Beltham?
30586What have you come here for?"
30586What is fresh, Michel?"
30586What is happening?
30586What is it about, sir?"
30586What is it?
30586What is it?
30586What is it?"
30586What is really known about this Loupart?"
30586What knowledge had the police of these events?
30586What makes you think so?
30586What night do we bring it off?"
30586What sort of a man is this M. Mahon?
30586What the deuce do they want with me?"
30586What was it she tried to escape by throwing herself into space?
30586What was the formidable robber''s game?
30586What were those motives?
30586What will become of him-- of you?"
30586What''s happened to you?"
30586What''s he up to now?
30586What''s the matter?"
30586What''s this?"
30586What?
30586When are we going to see their finish?
30586When did the man sleep?
30586When questioned, was she to confess or deny?
30586When she had ended Fandor asked in a calm voice:"And how did you get away, Josephine?"
30586When they are there, I shut myself up in the lodge, I can assure you----""When do they appear?"
30586Where am I to get this pass?"
30586Where did it come from?
30586Where do you think of going when you leave here?
30586Where is Josephine?"
30586Where is she?"
30586Who are you after?
30586Who but she could have had it in her possession?
30586Who can Loupart be?"
30586Who can one trust?"
30586Who else could have so sedulously concealed it?
30586Who forbids it?
30586Who is this M. Mahon?
30586Who is this woman?
30586Who sent me the letter?
30586Who the devil is this man who always escapes us?
30586Who told?"
30586Who wants to take such risks for sixty dollars a month?"
30586Why are you stopping?"
30586Why did this person hand her a ticket?"
30586Why had they withdrawn?
30586Why resist me so stubbornly?"
30586Why this lit- up room?"
30586Why was Fandor so late?
30586Why, yesterday evening, if you had wanted, when we were alone together, eh?"
30586Why?
30586Why?"
30586Will you obey?"
30586Will you?
30586Wo n''t he fancy it''s a put- up job?"
30586Would he ever again find such a good opportunity of laying hands on the ruffian?
30586Would they come back?
30586Would you be good enough to pass me that spy- glass?"
30586XVIII FANTÔMAS''VICTIM"You understand my object, Fandor?
30586XXVII THE MOTHER SUPERIOR"The Mother Superior, if you please?"
30586XXX UNCLE AND NEPHEW"So, uncle, you have decided to live at Neuilly?"
30586You are not accusing me, are you?
30586You do n''t need any further help from me?"
30586You do n''t suppose I''m going to leave you to pass this night alone?"
30586You grasp the importance of it?
30586You have surrounded the house?
30586You know it?"
30586You know where to find the robbers?"
30586You must have heard of the case?"
30586You probably dined in Paris last evening?"
30586You remember the business on the Boulevard Pereire?
30586You spoke just now as though you knew I was here?"
30586You think so?"
30586You''ve seen nothing?"
30586cried Fandor,"but why this disguise?"
30586cried Juve,"how recognise anything in this countenance destroyed by pitch?
30586cried the stout man, beginning to go down the staircase,"since the house is haunted I shall have to pay less for it; eh, Emile?"
30586did you feel anything?"
30586he cried, then queried, sardonically:"Which would madame prefer, the pig- sticker or the barker?"
30586he stammered,"Loupart, you''ll take me in the Cypher gang?"
30586protested the doctor,"deny what?
30586tell me what has just happened?
30586who is that?"
27965A man?
27965After a few minutes''conversation with Joseph Chestermarke, you say?
27965Ah, just so-- and who may Mr. Castlemayne be, now?
27965Ah, the boss, is he?
27965All in confidence-- strict confidence?
27965All the squires, and the parsons, and the farmers, and better sort of tradesmen go to''em, I suppose?
27965And Gabriel Chestermarke lives in Ellersdeane, does n''t he?
27965And I suppose none of your fellow- clerks have, either?
27965And all the nice old ladies and that sort-- an extra- respectable connection, eh?
27965And has no doubt told you everything?
27965And he said he would lock them up?--in our strong room?
27965And if you do n''t?
27965And what do you make of it?
27965And what do you propose to do-- first?
27965And what does he think, or suggest?
27965And what is it?
27965And what''s to be done, now? 27965 And who''s to tell us anything?"
27965And you never heard him mention that he was thinking of going away for the week- end?
27965And you saw-- what?
27965And you thought you''d better come over, I suppose?
27965And-- did not recognize it?
27965And-- their precise nature?
27965And-- their value?
27965And-- unsuccessfully?
27965And-- what happened, ma''am?
27965Any news so far?
27965Any news?
27965Any of his relations been after him?
27965Any place in which he was in the habit of locking up papers, for instance?
27965Are n''t you? 27965 Are there any signs of violence?--I mean, does it look as if he''d been----""Thrown in there?"
27965Are we any nearer a solution because of what''s just happened? 27965 Are you anything of a betting man?"
27965Are you going to pester us with your whole crew? 27965 Are you going to tell all that to Starmidge?"
27965Are you sure?
27965Are you telling me that my uncle is a-- thief?
27965Ay-- and what do you know, ma''am?
27965Bachelor, then?
27965Banking people, all of them, are n''t they? 27965 But how could he disappear?"
27965But in the meantime, why not put the Ecclesborough police on to keeping their eyes open for her? 27965 But now-- what can we do-- you and I?
27965But what can I tell you?
27965But-- Horbury?
27965But-- I suppose it''s absolutely necessary? 27965 But-- aren''t you going to do anything yourselves, Mr. Chestermarke?
27965But-- by whom?
27965But-- he does n''t live entirely alone, does he?
27965But-- since then? 27965 But-- what about Saturday?"
27965But-- where are you going to begin?
27965But-- why?
27965But-- won''t you show us the exact place where you picked it up?
27965But-- you, Mr. Chestermarke? 27965 But----""Does your lordship also think-- or suggest-- that Horbury also carried our missing securities in his pocket?"
27965Ca n''t you reconstruct the scene, Mr. Neale? 27965 Can he see you?"
27965Can you let me have the facts of this Horbury affair?
27965Can you tell anything about it?
27965Can you tell anything?
27965Can you tell us anything about your brother''s position?
27965Could you tell?--had you any idea?--whose shadow it was?
27965D''ye see that one window with the whitish blind and the light behind it? 27965 Did Horbury give your lordship any receipt, or acknowledgment that he had received these jewels on deposit?"
27965Did Horbury know what you were giving him?
27965Did he ever-- recently, I mean-- ever mention his name to you in a letter?
27965Did he mention Mr. Horbury to you at that time?
27965Did he say anything to anybody at his rooms about going away?--for the week- end, for instance?
27965Did it seem a great shock, a real surprise?
27965Did n''t I say so?
27965Did n''t leave the town?
27965Did she say where she was going-- to either of you?
27965Did she-- er-- give you the impression of being-- shall we say, uneasy?
27965Did they seem very much astonished when they found he''d gone?
27965Did this clerk tell you whether his master was a man of standing?
27965Did you chance to look at Mr. Hollis''s letters-- recent letters, I mean--he asked,"to see if you would find anything inviting him down here?"
27965Did you ever hear him speak of Chestermarke''s Bank?
27965Did you ever see a man like that at this Markham''s house?
27965Did you ever see him, ma''am?
27965Did you hear that?
27965Did you say murdered, sir?
27965Did you see Gabriel Chestermarke''s eyes? 27965 Did you see his eyes when Neale said that Horbury was n''t here?
27965Did you succeed in getting in there, Miss Fosdyke?
27965Did you?
27965Did your lordship give him the date of your return?
27965Dismissed-- you?
27965Do n''t you think that-- as there are almost certain to be some complications about this matter-- Linthwaite had better go with Detective Starmidge?
27965Do tell me? 27965 Do you happen to know who kept his private account?"
27965Do you know that they''ve-- just now-- refused Miss Fosdyke permission to examine her uncle''s belongings?
27965Do you realize what an utterly unworthy part you are playing? 27965 Do you think he''d be likely to have a sum of ten thousand pounds lying at his bankers?"
27965Do you think the finding of that pipe shows he was-- there?
27965Do you think you will-- and has Mr. Polke told you all about it?
27965Do you?
27965Does your lordship recognize that?
27965Done a bunk with the money?
27965Eh?
27965Entered my stage- door-- eleven- thirty-- last night? 27965 Feeling that, what do you advise in this case?"
27965Gave Mr. Hollis money-- for that? 27965 Getting on with it?"
27965Given you the facts, I suppose?
27965Good case, this?
27965Good heavens!--why?
27965Got amongst the audience, I suppose?
27965Got any clue to where she''s gone?
27965Had any message-- telegram, or aught of that sort-- come for her?
27965Had anybody been to see her?
27965Had n''t you better go back?
27965Had n''t you better sit down?
27965Had n''t you better summon Linthwaite?
27965Has he any suggestions-- or ideas?
27965Has nothing been done? 27965 Has she?"
27965Has the cheque which he paid in been cleared?
27965Have n''t you got anything?
27965Have you any idea,he continued, turning to the clerk,"of any reason that would bring Mr. Hollis to Scarnham?"
27965Have you any?
27965Have you ever met his nephew?
27965Have you looked round about at all?
27965Have you made any inquiry of him?
27965Have you tried that?
27965He was alone, I suppose?
27965He would n''t be likely to have aught valuable on him, surely-- that time o''night?
27965Heard any news or found any trace?
27965Heard anything?
27965Here again, what? 27965 How did this man get here-- at this time of night?"
27965How did you come to think of such an ingenious notion?
27965How did you see it? 27965 How do you know that?"
27965How long are you going to keep me here?
27965How long have you been with him, then?
27965How should he-- a stranger-- know of this short cut?
27965How would I be here Saturday night when I only came yesterday?
27965How?
27965Hullo?
27965I have n''t the pleasure of knowing your name-- Mr.----?
27965I mean to say-- how could such a well- known man disappear so completely, without anybody knowing of it? 27965 I mean, not about my affair, but about finding your manager?"
27965I mean, of course, in our name?
27965I say-- you do n''t know what Hollis was empowered to offer us, do you?
27965I suppose I can see him?
27965I suppose neither of you ever saw or heard aught of Mr. Horbury on Saturday night-- after he''d gone out?
27965I suppose that conveys nothing to you?
27965I suppose there are-- and have been-- all sorts of rumours?
27965I suppose there has been an inquest on the two Chestermarkes?
27965I suppose there''s some journalist here in the town who sends news to the London press, is n''t there?
27965I suppose we''d best examine this room in the way he suggested?
27965I suppose you gentlemen do n''t know who this Mrs. or Miss Helen Lester is?
27965I suppose you know that these back premises of mine partly overlook Joseph Chestermarke''s garden?
27965I think the next question is-- Has anybody ever heard of him in connection with Mr. Horbury, or the Chestermarkes?
27965I understand you saw her-- and spoke to her-- just before she left, this morning?
27965I wonder if this poor fellow was making his way there-- to see him?
27965I''m to call you Betty, though you are grown up?
27965I?
27965I?
27965If he''s alive, why do n''t we hear something, or find out something?
27965If that man came to see Mr. Horbury,remarked the solicitor,"why did n''t he come straight here to the bank- house?"
27965If there were two men-- together-- at an early hour-- eh?
27965If they came together on to this waste, one could n''t fall down a shaft without the other knowing it, eh? 27965 Is Mr. Hollis missing, then?"
27965Is he known?
27965Is it likely?
27965Is it-- is it Wallie Neale?
27965Is n''t there anything we could do?
27965Is that your brother''s handwriting?
27965Is the maid a trustworthy woman?
27965Is there anything I can do?
27965Is there anything in this house-- cupboard, chest, trunk, anything-- in which Mr. Horbury kept valuables?
27965Is this the path he would have taken if he''d gone to Ellersdeane on Saturday night?
27965Is this tin- man to be depended upon?
27965May I suggest something, sir?
27965Mean?
27965Mr. Chestermarke, you heard that the housekeeper here has disappeared?
27965Mr. Chestermarke,he said,"sorry to trouble you-- do you know that the housekeeper, Mrs. Carswell, has disappeared?
27965Mr. Hollis has-- called on you, then?
27965Mrs. Carswell,he said, as they all went in,"has Mr. Horbury a safe in this room, or in any other room?
27965Neale,said Gabriel,"have you been out to lunch?
27965Neale-- have you heard of this transaction?
27965No further message-- from your principals?
27965No one else knows, I suppose?
27965No one has brought you any news?
27965Nor any sum approaching it?
27965Not in the house?
27965Nothing has been heard since I saw you last night?
27965Now what do you take this to mean?
27965Now, Mr. Stipp, have you any idea whether his visit to Scarnham was in connection with the money affair of yours and young Lester''s?
27965Now, did you ever hear Mr. Hollis mention the name of Horbury?
27965Now-- what might that exactly mean? 27965 Of course you never went there?"
27965Or at his office?
27965Or close by?
27965Or exceeding it?
27965Or found out? 27965 Putting some pressure on you, I suppose, sir?"
27965Queer, is n''t it, gentlemen?
27965Raising the whole town, no doubt?
27965Really!--in so many words?
27965Seen him?--heard of him?
27965Sha n''t I do instead?
27965Shirley says Mr. Horbury is n''t at home? 27965 Show any surprise?"
27965So I guessed, Mr. Starmidge, but what could I do?
27965So you''re round again after one of your long sleeps, are you?
27965So you''ve seen about this in the newspapers, sir?
27965So-- you went up there?
27965Some time?
27965Something wrong?
27965Supposing he goes off by train? 27965 That description describes Mr. Hollis, then?"
27965That is-- beyond what I''ve already been told?
27965That make things clear?
27965That they would n''t even let her enter the house?
27965That''s it, eh? 27965 That''s-- somewhat queer, is n''t it?"
27965The big question, my lad,he said,"is-- what to do?
27965Then let me ask you, what are you going to do?
27965Then the next question is-- Where''s he got to?
27965Then there is something you can say?
27965There was no business being done with anybody at Scarnham?
27965There you are!--you see what I mean?
27965There''s nothing wrong?
27965They have n''t been searched for yet, have they?
27965They''ll have to let the exact details be known, wo n''t they?
27965Think he''s sloped?
27965This body been recovered?
27965Thunder?
27965To our clients, I mean?
27965Vanderkiste? 27965 Wants his pound of flesh, no doubt?"
27965Was it towards the station?
27965We want the solution of a problem: what became of Mr. Horbury last Saturday night?
27965Well-- and what then?
27965Well?
27965Well?
27965Well?
27965Well?
27965Well?
27965Well?
27965Well?
27965Well?
27965Well?
27965Were none of your people about here on Saturday night?
27965What about the Moneylenders''Act?
27965What are you speculating about?
27965What are you wondering about?
27965What can I do for you now? 27965 What did Hollis come for, then, if that''s a fair question?"
27965What do I know about him and his arrangements? 27965 What do you know about this?
27965What do you think he''d do?
27965What do you think he''d do?
27965What do you think of it?
27965What do you want?
27965What do you want?
27965What does Miss Fosdyke wish?
27965What does your lordship propose to do?
27965What experiment?
27965What happened after that?
27965What happened?
27965What have I to do with Horbury''s housekeeper?
27965What have we gone there for then?
27965What is he after now?
27965What is it, Wallie? 27965 What is it?"
27965What is it?
27965What is the meaning of all this reserve on the Chestermarkes''part? 27965 What makes you think that?"
27965What man?
27965What of him?
27965What of the other man?
27965What precise message had you for me?
27965What right have you to examine them?
27965What shall I do? 27965 What sort of banking business is it the Chestermarkes carry on down there at Scarnham?"
27965What suggestion was it?
27965What then?
27965What ways, now?
27965What''s all this?
27965What''s his particular line of practice?
27965What''s to be done, then, next?
27965What''s to be done?
27965What''s up?
27965What''s your honest opinion about your late principals?
27965What, for instance, are you going to do, Mr. Chestermarke? 27965 What, then?"
27965What-- Joseph?
27965What-- what-- is it?
27965What?
27965What?
27965What?
27965What?
27965Whatever I say to you will be in strict confidence?
27965When did you come in here? 27965 When did you see him last?"
27965When did you see him last?
27965When?
27965Where are the jewels, then?
27965Where are we to look for it, then?
27965Where else should he be?
27965Where is Maychester, now?
27965Where is he? 27965 Where is she?"
27965Where''s the other gentleman?
27965Where''s this journalist?
27965Which is-- exactly what?
27965Which point?
27965While these people are doing what they can in their way, is there nothing we can do in ours?
27965Who is he? 27965 Who is the gentleman?"
27965Who is the man?
27965Who it was that Hollis came to see on Saturday? 27965 Who looks after the banking account at Hollis''s?"
27965Who''s this?
27965Whom might he have gone to meet, then?
27965Why did he fill in the amount?
27965Why did you tell-- him?
27965Why have the police been officially-- and officiously-- searching the house, then?
27965Why should I?
27965Why, really, Mr. Chestermarke,observed the Earl,"do n''t you think it''s the best thing to do?
27965Why?
27965Why?
27965Will you look at it?
27965Will your conviction of that help at all?
27965Will your lordship come in?
27965Wo n''t your lordship sit down?
27965Would you be surprised to see a cheque of his drawn for ten thousand pounds?
27965Yah!--d''ye think a fellow like that''ud have a nephew? 27965 Yes?"
27965Yes?
27965Yes?
27965You are going down to Lowdale Court?
27965You could n''t tell-- what man?
27965You do n''t know anything about that, gentlemen?
27965You do n''t know him?--never saw him during the five years you were at the bank?
27965You do n''t know if he knew Hollis?
27965You do n''t mean to tell me that you have not done anything to find my uncle?
27965You do n''t mean to tell me that you''re going to let another day elapse before doing something?
27965You do n''t propose to join in any search for him or any attempt to discover his whereabouts, sir?
27965You do n''t think it rather remarkable that Mr. Hollis should go down there the very day after he called on you?
27965You found this in her room?
27965You got the wire in good time, then?
27965You have discovered-- something?
27965You have heard of the stranger who came to the town on Saturday night, and is believed to have telephoned from the Station Hotel to Horbury?
27965You have n''t seen Polke, then?
27965You have no doubt been informed by your bankers that we were coming, ma''am?
27965You hear?
27965You heard nothing at the bank itself-- from the Chestermarkes?
27965You heard what instructions this Miss Fosdyke had given the police, I suppose?
27965You know he has n''t been at his rooms since Saturday-- you''ve ascertained that?
27965You know the name of the bankers, I suppose, gentlemen?
27965You know what I mean?
27965You mean the lead- mines?
27965You mean to search for them?
27965You never heard of this gentleman being in the town on Sunday or today?
27965You never saw any cheques paid to those names-- or any cheques from them?
27965You saw her go out?
27965You say she went straight over to him?
27965You say you saw your brother some eight or nine months ago, sir?
27965You see the river-- the path along its bank-- going right down to the meadow opposite the Station Hotel? 27965 You see this track, mister?"
27965You think Horbury will be heard of-- elsewhere?
27965You think all that would be in the London papers this evening?
27965You think he may have been thrown down there?
27965You think she may be approached?
27965You think the Chestermarkes murdered Horbury?
27965You took her with you to the Continent, of course, my lord?
27965You were going to tell us something, sir?
27965You will respect my confidence, of course?
27965You''ll stay in the town a bit, sir?
27965You''re not joking?
27965You''re suggesting-- what?
27965You''re sure there''s no danger?
27965You''ve a good many watchers on the estate, have n''t you?
27965You''ve heard something, then?
27965Your lordship does n''t believe--?
27965Your lordship will, of course, follow up this woman?
27965''Along the river- side?''
27965''Cause he''d rung up Chestermarke''s Bank-- and who should he want at Chestermarke''s Bank at six o''clock of a Saturday evening but Mr. Horbury?
27965''We''ve very good rooms, and bathrooms, and every convenience-- shall I show you one?''
27965Accident or Murder?
27965After which he says,''It''s very possible, landlady, that I may have to stop in the town all night-- have you a nice room that you can let me?''
27965Am I changed?"
27965And have n''t those shafts got props and stays down the side?"
27965And if he was there at all, was it with his consent, or against his will, or-- what?
27965And if it was John Horbury, how, under what circumstances, had he been brought there, why was he being kept there?
27965And if there really was such a prisoner in that room, or cell, or whatever the place was, who could it be but John Horbury?
27965And if you do, why?"
27965And in that case-- what would happen?"
27965And listen-- do you think those two men across there are to be trusted?"
27965And mixed up in this affair, eh?
27965And now that we''ve got to know that much, how much nearer am I to finding out the real thing that I''m after?"
27965And now what d''ye think my lord wants-- what he''s screwing me for?
27965And so,"he concluded, turning to Polke,"what we''ve got to find out is-- what did Hollis come here at all for?"
27965And that-- on his way-- he met with some mishap?
27965And there''s another-- what''s been done-- and possibly, what''s being done?
27965And we want you, if you please, to tell us two things: For what purpose did you give Mr. Hollis ten thousand pounds?--To whom was he to pay it?
27965And what I say is-- who was the precise person whom Hollis went to meet?"
27965And what I shall want to find out from them, in that case, is-- what special purpose?
27965And what''s the mystery?
27965And where''s my uncle?"
27965And why in such haste?
27965And you say he''d private rooms some where?
27965And-- are you Mr. Horbury''s nearest relation?"
27965And-- what had it to do with Scarnham, or anybody at Scarnham?
27965And-- what is the name of the money- lending gentleman?"
27965And-- what of the somebody, Horbury or whoever it was, that lay behind that grim- looking door?
27965And-- what of this man in that jealously guarded room, behind that steel door?
27965And-- whose cheque?"
27965Are n''t we a bit previous?
27965Are there any gasworks close at hand?
27965Are those jewels really missing?
27965Are you going to admit me to those rooms?"
27965Are you going to sign that paper?
27965Are you in at it?
27965As for ourselves-- what had we better do?"
27965Because then-- then----""What then?"
27965Because-- now, Wallie, tell me truthfully-- you do n''t believe for one moment that my uncle has run away with things?"
27965Been here long?"
27965Besides, if anybody was with him, and there was an accident, why has n''t the accident been reported?
27965Bless me!--so he''s a country banker, is he?
27965Bless me!--where did you find it?"
27965But of what?
27965But there, what''s the use of speculating?
27965But this affair-- what''s to be done?"
27965But this call has n''t anything to do with that, surely?
27965But what was it?
27965But what''s Mr. Neale doing here?"
27965But, Lord bless you, what''s in a name?
27965But, of course, it never struck you that a man could go in at the back of a place and come out at the front, did it?
27965But, of course, we know what''s going on-- couldn''t very well not know, now could we, Mr. Polke?
27965But-- about the main thing, which, in my opinion, is the whereabouts of John Horbury?
27965But-- can''t you make them say?"
27965But-- that interval during which Mrs. Pratt did n''t overhear?
27965But-- what took Mr. Hollis down to Scarnham?
27965But-- whose?"
27965By the by, is n''t he a relation of Horbury''s?"
27965CHAPTER XVII ACCIDENT OR MURDER?
27965CHAPTER XXIV MRS. CARSWELL?
27965Ca n''t you suggest something we can do?"
27965Can you give them a good description?"
27965Can you hang about without attracting attention?"
27965Carswell?"
27965Carswell?"
27965Carswell?"
27965Case of a strange disappearance-- bank manager-- isn''t it?"
27965Castlemayne?"
27965Castlemayne?"
27965Castlemayne?"
27965Chestermarke?"
27965Chestermarke?"
27965Come, now?"
27965Come-- come!--you do n''t mean to tell me that Horbury''s been playing games of that sort?
27965Could it be that this bread was-- that the slice which had just been cut was-- the ration given to somebody behind that door?
27965Dear me!--and where, ma''am, is this Mr. Godwin Markham''s office?
27965Did he see them?
27965Did n''t he leave any word-- didn''t he say where he was going?"
27965Do I follow?"
27965Do n''t you think that may be it?"
27965Do you hear me?
27965Do you know anything of these jewels, Neale?"
27965Do you know how many of these old workings there is?"
27965Do you know of any recent transaction of theirs which involved ten thousand pounds?"
27965Do you know that downstairs saloon there?"
27965Do you know what I''m thinking?"
27965Do you know where a little lodge stands, as you go into Primrose Hill, the St. John''s Wood side?
27965Do you remember a gentleman coming here last night, late, who nodded to you and walked straight in?
27965Do you think Hollis went to Scarnham on this business of young Lester''s?
27965Do you think he''s cultivated it as a secret-- that it''s been a really important secret?"
27965Do you think we could examine everything in five hours?
27965Do you want him?"
27965Do you?
27965Do you?
27965Does anybody?
27965Does that help us to finding out what''s become of my uncle?"
27965Does yon young lady at the Scarnham Arms know aught more about her uncle?
27965Does your lordship see that?
27965Does your lordship think it possible the Countess mentioned it to her maid?"
27965Eh?"
27965For business reasons, I suppose?"
27965Guy Lester''s affair?"
27965Had he also eaten of the loaf?
27965Had she merely gone to Ecclesborough for the day?--or had she made it her first stage in a further journey?
27965Have n''t we got a case in point?"
27965Have n''t you even told the police?"
27965Have the police been told yet?"
27965Have these two precious principals sent you with news?"
27965Have those jewels been found?"
27965Have you any idea where Mr. Horbury is?"
27965Have you-- after what we''ve found out?"
27965He could get away from any one of them-- what booking- clerk or railway official would pay any particular attention to him?
27965He let me know who he was, then, and he offered to do things privately-- no need to go to his office, do you see?
27965He will catch that?
27965He----""What sort of a club''s that, now?"
27965Hollis, for instance?--have they come to any conclusion about his death?"
27965Hollis?"
27965Hollis?"
27965Horbury?"
27965Horbury?"
27965Horbury?"
27965Horbury?"
27965How do we know that somebody was Horbury?
27965How do we know that the person with whom Hollis began his conversation was the same person with whom he finished it?
27965How much is it to be, Miss Fosdyke?
27965How much was this particular one asking of your son, now?"
27965How''s this here affair going?
27965I believe he''s one of these ghouls you read about in the story- books-- what''s he look like?
27965I drew Hollis''s attention to him, and asked, jocularly, if he had ever seen a more remarkable and striking countenance?
27965I had discovered their secret-- Hollis was out of the way-- but what were they going to do with me?
27965I say-- d''ye think you''ll be able to fasten anything on to Markham, or Chestermarke, or whatever his name is?"
27965I suppose that never struck you?
27965I suppose we can go into the house now?"
27965I wonder if the police will find the man who came to the Station Hotel on Saturday?
27965If it has-- what?"
27965If your men would look about the country between here and Ellersdeane, now?
27965Is aught being done?
27965Is aught being found out?
27965Is he coming here, Lord Ellersdeane?"
27965Is it known that he came out here Saturday night?"
27965Is it within our borough boundary, or is it in Ellersdeane parish?
27965Is something wrong?
27965Is that clear, my lad?"
27965Is there any news this morning?"
27965Is there aught behind, like; aught that has n''t come out on the top?"
27965Is there aught new-- since this morning?"
27965Is there really anything missing from the bank?
27965It was scarcely likely that Joseph Chestermarke would eat unbuttered bread during his experiments and labours-- why, then, was the loaf there?
27965Lester?"
27965Linthwaite?"
27965Little, stiffly built gentleman, very pale face, holds himself well up-- what?"
27965May I ask when-- and under what circumstances?"
27965May n''t I come in?"
27965Mr. Chestermarke, are you going to answer my questions?"
27965Mr. Linthwaite,"he continued, as another elderly man entered the room,"can you tell us what Mr. Frederick Hollis''s balance in our hands is?"
27965Mr. Neale, will you go with Lord Ellersdeane to Superintendent Polke?
27965Mrs. Carswell?
27965Neale,"he added, when the housekeeper had gone away,"Mr. Horbury always carried the more important keys on him, did n''t he?"
27965Neale?"
27965Neale?"
27965Neale?"
27965No!--what I''d like to know-- what I want to satisfy myself about is-- did Mr. Horbury go away at all?
27965No?
27965Now supposing the real person Hollis wanted to see was either Gabriel or Joseph Chestermarke?
27965Now then, have you come to your senses?"
27965Now then-- what''s this?"
27965Now what are those two Chestermarkes after?
27965Now what could he be doing on this lonely bit of ground?
27965Now what should Mr. Horbury be doing down here?
27965Now you''re wondering, Mr. Castlemayne, why we come to you?
27965Now, Mr. Chestermarke, where is my uncle?"
27965Now, as you are a relation, suppose you call on his housekeeper, who was the last person to see him, and get all the information you can out of her?
27965Now, did n''t you say that from all the accounts supplied to you, this Mr. John Horbury was an eminently proper sort of person?
27965Now, exactly when did Mrs. Carswell go out?
27965Now, have you heard anything of my brother?"
27965Now, honour bright, which of these men do you take Godwin Markham to be?"
27965Now, then-- which of the three sports the other name of Godwin Markham?"
27965Now, what did you hear?"
27965Now, what''ll you do about it?"
27965Now-- what''s the idea, sir,"he went on, turning to Neale,"about Mr. Horbury''s disappearance?
27965Of course, he''s Hollis, I suppose?"
27965Of course, you''ve got''em all right?"
27965Of what nature, for what purpose?
27965On-- him?
27965Or are you employed by Mr. Joseph Chestermarke?
27965Or supposing he came in?"
27965Pellworthy?"
27965Poison?
27965Poisoned first!--and thrown into that old mine after?
27965Polke?"
27965Polke?"
27965Read it over-- I think it''s satisfactory, eh?"
27965See anything of them?"
27965See?
27965She does n''t mind what money she spends on this business, you say?"
27965Smart work, eh?"
27965So Joseph dabbled in toxicology, did he?
27965So it''s him, is it?
27965So-- do either of you know that?"
27965So-- whoever we see there, you want to go guardedly, eh?"
27965Sole proprietor?
27965Starmidge?"
27965Stationed where?
27965Stipp?"
27965Stipp?"
27965Suppose we found Markham-- or Chestermarke-- there?
27965Supposing one of''em took Hollis off, alone, across that moor you''ve told me about, and induced him to look into that old lead- mine?
27965That garden- room, Mr. Polke-- if you know what I mean?"
27965That had been the most exciting day he had ever known in his life-- was what was left of it going to yield anything still more exciting?
27965That your governor over the chimney- piece there?"
27965That''s established, I take it, Starmidge?"
27965That''s the trio that live in there-- a queer lot, are n''t they?"
27965That''s-- but, there, what''s the good of theorizing?
27965The thing is-- what''s best to do?
27965Then after a minute,''At seven- thirty, then?''
27965Then, after a minute,"At seven- thirty, then?"
27965Then-- first?"
27965There''s nothing to prevent Abraham Moses from styling himself Fitzwilliam Simpkins, if he''s always done business as Fitzwilliam Simpkins-- see?
27965Tonight?
27965Turning to Hollis, he asked if he could do anything-- was his visit about banking business?
27965Want to make some inquiries?"
27965Was Joseph Chestermarke never coming?
27965Was he being kept a prisoner-- or was he-- hiding?
27965Was it possible that a dead man lay there-- murdered?
27965Was there any reason why anybody should set on him?"
27965We really do not know to what extent we are-- but then, what''s the use of talking of that now?
27965We''re all three agreed that we''re talking about the same man?
27965Well, ma''am!--you think you can tell me something about this affair?
27965What I''d like to know is-- is that a recently made gap?
27965What about Saturday night?"
27965What are they doing?
27965What are you and your uncle implying, suggesting, hinting at?"
27965What are you going to do, Starmidge?"
27965What are you going to do?
27965What bank was the cheque drawn on?
27965What can we think?"
27965What could his visit to Scarnham have to do with us?
27965What did Mrs. Pratt tell us?
27965What did he do then?
27965What do you think of it, gentlemen?"
27965What do you think?"
27965What do you wish to do?"
27965What does Mr. Polke think?
27965What does it mean?"
27965What easier than to push him into it?
27965What has happened?
27965What has happened?"
27965What is it?
27965What is the meaning of all this infernal mystery?
27965What might it be, now?"
27965What right have they to fasten up his house?"
27965What sort of men are they-- as individuals?"
27965What use was it, at that juncture, to ask for more particular details of this evident flight?
27965What was it?
27965What was there to prevent Horbury, during Saturday night, from walking across country to Ecclesborough?
27965What we want to know is-- who is-- or was, that somebody?
27965What went on within it?
27965What would happen?
27965What''s all this, Mr. Chestermarke?
27965What''s next to be done?
27965What''s that curious building in Joseph Chestermarke''s garden?"
27965What''s that indicate, young lady and young gentleman?
27965What?"
27965What?"
27965Where are the jewels?
27965Where are those securities?
27965Where did you find it?"
27965Where does this track lead?"
27965Where first?"
27965Where is Miss Fosdyke, Mrs. Carswell?
27965Where is he, then?"
27965Where is my uncle?"
27965Where, now?"
27965Which direction?"
27965Which is it?"
27965Who is that person?
27965Who was-- who is-- that somebody?
27965Whom shall we try to see?"
27965Whose body have you found?"
27965Why are you all looking so mysterious?
27965Why did he go there?"
27965Why did n''t one of them come here?
27965Why did n''t they tell the police what securities are missing?
27965Why do n''t they let you, his niece, examine Horbury''s effects?
27965Why had this woman suddenly disappeared?
27965Why not make a day of it, going round?
27965Why not?
27965Why-- what has Mrs. Lester called you in for?"
27965Why?
27965Why?
27965Will he do what I want?"
27965Will you go round at once to Mr. Polke''s?
27965Will you keep your eyes and ears open while you''re in this neighbourhood?"
27965You ca n''t throw any light on that, sir?"
27965You disclaim all liability in connection with my affair?"
27965You do n''t believe in searching about here, then?"
27965You do n''t happen to know''em?"
27965You heard naught last night, I suppose?"
27965You heard what that girl said this morning?
27965You know that, no doubt?"
27965You know the housekeeper here-- Mrs. Carswell?
27965You know those detached houses-- foot of Primrose Hill?
27965You remember the Saturday night when all this began, Neale?
27965You see that queer- shaped structure-- sort of conical chimney-- sticking up amongst the trees in Joseph Chestermarke''s garden?
27965You telephoned to the police at Ecclesborough, superintendent?"
27965You understand-- a first- class man?
27965You was n''t here Saturday night, then?"
27965You will have read in this morning''s paper that the body of Mr. Frederick Hollis was found at Scarnham yesterday?"
27965You''re a free man now, Wallie-- can''t you suggest something?"
27965You''ve said nothing of this to anybody else?"
27965Your lordship left the Countess''s jewels with our manager?
27965do you think it possible he was thrown down that mine?
27965he exclaimed,"do n''t you think Horbury may have put those jewels away in his own house?"
27965she said,"do you think that can possibly be-- Uncle John?"
27965you''ll excuse me, now-- what is it you''re trying to get at?
37149Am I an object of suspicion to you, sir?
37149And you''ll be a good man, Hal, all your life, so you will join me in heaven?
37149Are you foolish enough to suppose for one moment, that I will reveal that?
37149Are you ready, Madge?
37149Are you sure we are out of danger?
37149But, Susie, you ca n''t be dying-- tell me what is the matter?
37149But, hold on-- you ain''d going?
37149Captain Gregg und Honorable Granby Greyville are der same persons, not?
37149Crazy, am I?
37149D''ye know who I am?
37149Did n''t I tell you I''d go for you if you did n''t reform? 37149 Did n''t I tell you, you could n''t get something to eat here?"
37149Did that thing speak again?
37149Did you not witness the whipping without attempting to interfere?
37149Do I look silly?
37149Do n''t I look silly, though?
37149Do n''t know where you''re going?
37149Do you mean this, Captain Gregg?
37149Do you swear this is true?
37149Excuse me,he said, respectfully,"but are you Fritz, the young man who took a young lady''s part, on a ferry- boat near Philadelphia, to- day?"
37149Granby Greyville, eh?
37149Gregg-- Gregg?
37149Has he got that wart behind his left ear yet?
37149Here she is-- what do you want of her?
37149How d''ye think it''s going?
37149How dare you term my son rascally, sir, and accuse my child of jealousy?
37149How many times do you have to be told to go? 37149 How should I know anything about him?"
37149How should I know, sir?
37149How so?
37149How vos you know all dot?

37149Indeed? 37149 Is it a nice place?"
37149Is it not ample proof, when strange men haunt this vicinity, and haunt the members to their very doors? 37149 Ish_ dot_ a fact?"
37149My father sent you? 37149 Now, what will you do?"
37149Now, will you tell and promise?
37149So you''re caged, are you, my young tigress?
37149That? 37149 The detectives?"
37149Then, you deny that you have ever betrayed the existence of this band, outside of its own membership?

37149Well, sir, who?
37149Well, what d''ye want, young man?

37149What is the matter here?
37149What is the matter? 37149 What is the nature of your discovery, Grogan?"
37149What right have you to intrude in what is none of your business?

37149But how come you out here, in this frail shell, without even oars?"
37149But, how apoud der money?"
37149But, how romantic was his little adventure destined to turn out?
37149By the way, old man, what have you done with my feller?"
37149Can you enlighten me any as to the mystery of this head, which, though not possessed of life, yet uses its voice so naturally?"

37149I''d like to know how you dare cast your insinuations about one you never knew, sir?"
37149Is the old house burning?"
37149Is the young detective still within that old building?
37149Is there an officer of the law among you?
37149Is your home near by?"
37149My name ish Fritz Snyder; vot ish yours?"
37149Now do you know what I am going to do?"
37149Really, what was there he_ could_ do?

37149Why did n''t you stop her, Pat?"
37149You remember der chap Fritz, don''d you?"

29331''Doctor Alwyn?'' 29331 ''For good?''
29331''How much do you want?'' 29331 ''Oh, do n''t you, Rockamore?
29331''This is Mr. James Brunell?'' 29331 ''You wished to see me?''
29331''You''re Mr. Hamilton, are n''t you?'' 29331 A tragedy?
29331Ai n''t back with the Brooklyn and Queens, are you?
29331Am I speaking to the gentleman who talked with me at the working girls''club?
29331An unfortunate suggestion, was n''t it?
29331And Charley?
29331And I may not know where he has gone?
29331And Mrs. Quinlan''s, where you board, is directly opposite?
29331And that way?
29331And the bottle of prussic acid which was found yesterday hidden in the chair where just now you searched for it?
29331And the letter-- you never saw it?
29331And the outfit-- was there any evidence it had been used lately?
29331And they have ensued?
29331And was the locket and chain an accident, too? 29331 And what have you to report?"
29331And what might your name be? 29331 And when he had served his term, what happened?"
29331And when you fled, after hearing your father groan, you returned immediately to your room?
29331And your duty?
29331Anita, dear, may I come to you now?
29331Anita, what do you mean?
29331Anything suspicious about the guests who arrived during the Lawtons''stay?
29331Appealed? 29331 Are you sure Pennington Lawton ever received that message?"
29331Are you sure?
29331Are you surprised to find within it the blood of an innocent man?
29331Are you trying to insinuate that I had anything to do with these deaths?
29331Armed?
29331Before when?
29331Blood?
29331But I''ll have to go back and make some sort of explanation for leaving so abruptly, wo n''t I? 29331 But how do you account for the fact that I distinctly heard some one running away immediately after the shot was fired?"
29331But how would anyone dare? 29331 But surely you will withdraw?"
29331But we do n''t care for the pomp and vanity, and the social observances, and all the rest of it, do we, Ramon?
29331But what has it to do with the matter in hand?
29331But what''s to happen to me now?
29331But why attribute so much importance to it?
29331But why-- why did he not come with you? 29331 But why?
29331But why?
29331But your arm-- is it sprained?
29331Ca n''t you give me some idea of the nature of this scheme?
29331Came to- day, did n''t he?
29331Can you arrange to meet me at once, at your Working Girls''Club?
29331Can you bear a sudden shock now, Miss Lawton? 29331 Can you remember, dear, when he first came?"
29331Cold out, ai n''t it?
29331Could that suggestion of his have been merely a ruse to separate your assistants from you?
29331Dear little girl, suppose he had been? 29331 Defense?
29331Did it ever occur to you that there might be another and more terrible explanation of his sudden death?
29331Did n''t come to inquire about our health, did you?
29331Did n''t forget your old friends, did you?
29331Did n''t you hear my horn?
29331Did she tell you?
29331Did you ever hear of any of his associates?
29331Did you send your nephew to him?
29331Do I understand that this is the private detective of whom I have heard so much?
29331Do I understand, Mr. Blaine, that Miss Lawton has definitely retained you on this case?
29331Do you also recall your reply?--''How about poor Herbert Armstrong? 29331 Do you suppose he suspected our errand?"
29331Do? 29331 Do?"
29331Dr. Franklin, who could ever have asked you to come to me with such an incredible assertion? 29331 Emily, will you let me see the letter again?"
29331Emily, wo n''t you look at me, dear? 29331 Emily,"she asked,"is Loretta Murfree in, or Fifine Déchaussée?"
29331Going to try to pull off something here in town which you think could be more easily done if I were away? 29331 Got you?
29331Grosvenor 0760,she demanded, and when a voice replied to her at the other end of the wire, she asked querulously,"Is not my new gown ready yet?
29331Has Guy Morrow returned yet from that blackmail case in Denver?
29331Have a whisky straight, on me?
29331Have you ever known me, Mr. Carlis, to permit my personal antagonism to you or any other man to interfere with what I conceive to be my duty?
29331Have you seen the late editions of the evening papers, Mr. Blaine? 29331 Having seen me, Carlis, will you kindly state your business and go?
29331He did?
29331He is a map- maker, too?
29331He will make the truth public, will he not?
29331How about the trust another girl has placed in me-- and through me, in you?
29331How are you, dear Miss Lawton? 29331 How could that be?
29331How could you prove such a thing?
29331How d''you know he did?
29331How did you know about Agnes Olson?
29331How should I know? 29331 How?
29331How?
29331I came to see you about another matter--"Not on the trail of old Jimmy Brunell still, on that business of the bonds found at the bank?
29331I can surely trust you? 29331 I do n''t mean, of course, that I wish to inquire into your methods of handling the case-- but have you any further commissions for me?"
29331I have read of some of his marvelous exploits, but; what service was it that he rendered to my father?
29331I say, Blaine, what the devil do you mean by this game you''re playing?
29331I see, a sport, eh?
29331I trust you are feeling a little stronger this afternoon-- a little brighter and more hopeful?
29331I''ve told you everything that I can think of, and if he sees me, it will spoil Mr. Blaine''s plans, maybe?
29331I? 29331 If you are so certain of my guilt, Blaine, why have you come to me secretly here and now?
29331In my interests?
29331Indeed? 29331 Indeed?
29331Indeed?
29331Is it a bluff, Pennold?
29331Is it something in connection with that forged letter to Mallowe?
29331Is that your man?
29331Is this another of your d-- d tricks?
29331Is this your kitten? 29331 It is absolutely necessary, Miss Lawton, that you see me in person?
29331It is you, Miss Lawton?
29331It''s dated August sixteenth, nineteen hundred and twelve, is n''t it? 29331 James Brunell?"
29331Just what is the Lawton affair?
29331Lawton?
29331Leave town? 29331 Left the city?
29331Let me see; that makes four lodgers now, does n''t it?
29331M''sieu Paddington?
29331Main, 2785,she demanded...."Mr. Hamilton, please.... Is that you, Ramon?...
29331May I come over after supper?
29331Me?
29331Might he not have become so deeply involved in one of them that he could not extricate himself, and ruin came?
29331Morrow, are you a driveling idiot, or an operative? 29331 Mr. Blaine,"--the girl faced him, her voice steadied and deepened portentously,--"my father died of heart- disease, did he not?"
29331Mr. Hamilton, have you among the letters and documents at your office the signature of the person we were discussing the other day?
29331Mr. Mallowe arranged the matter with you for Mr. Lawton, did he not?
29331Mr. Rockamore, you were born in Staffordshire, England, were you not? 29331 Must have easy hours, when you can get off in the morning like this?"
29331My dear child, do you remember, also, a later prayer in the same service?
29331My dear child, is it wise for you to refuse to see two of your father''s best friends? 29331 Not a bad idea,"Blaine commented, adding dryly:"What did you come for, then, Guy?"
29331Not a foot- print in the earth of the cellar steps?
29331Not for shop- lifting or forgery-- but how about receiving stolen goods?
29331Nothing out of the usual run happened while you were there?
29331Oh, it''s you, is it? 29331 Oh, that?"
29331Oh, what is it, Ramon? 29331 Oh, what will he do?"
29331On what pretext?
29331Perhaps he would have, but what opportunity was he given? 29331 Philandered?"
29331President Mallowe''s filing clerk? 29331 Remain here in my home?"
29331Rockamore did n''t threaten you, did he?
29331Safely? 29331 Say, Mame, the young feller, Hicks, is all right, and so is the bank; but how about Jimmy himself?
29331Shall I transcribe this for you, Mr. Blaine? 29331 Short and slim, is n''t he, with a small dark mustache?"
29331Smoke? 29331 Still puzzling about those, Guy?
29331Suppose we did write such a letter-- an''we ai n''t admittin''we did, for a minute-- what''s Blaine got on us?
29331Sure, we''re all of us your friends, Miss Lawton; why would n''t we be, after all you''ve done for us?
29331Suspected? 29331 That third man who came for me last night-- the one with the French accent and the cough-- and the rest who are in this kidnaping plot?
29331The Master Mind?
29331The club?
29331The letter? 29331 The rest?"
29331The settlement of the estate? 29331 The visitor''s name was Paddington?"
29331The voice was entirely strange to you?
29331Then the police did not get their number?
29331Then what did he do?
29331Then what is it?
29331Then why did you not arrest me at once? 29331 Then why has that chair-- the chair in which he died-- exerted such a peculiar, sinister influence over you?
29331There is nothing else you can tell us?
29331There was a woman in it, then?
29331Through?
29331To find out if you had any news you were willing to tell me yet, sir-- of Emily?
29331Two years ago, in August, Pennington Lawton and his daughter were at''The Breakers,''at Long Bay, were they not?
29331Unpleasant, was n''t it?
29331Wally, d''you know what the next term means? 29331 Wally, who d''you think''s comin''up the walk?
29331Warrant for what?
29331Was it the grocery to which you went?
29331Was there any incident in connection with them worthy of note which the proprietor could recall?
29331Well, Suraci, what did you learn from the hotel employees?
29331Well, what reason am I to give to the Mayor of Grafton and its political leaders, for your refusal? 29331 Were you in Illington the evening before?"
29331What affair is it of yours?
29331What are you afraid of-- Jimmy Brunell?
29331What are you going to do with them, sir?
29331What are you tryin''to put over? 29331 What became of his outfit, when he was sent up?"
29331What big guy?
29331What brings him here now? 29331 What can I do for you?"
29331What case?
29331What could it mean? 29331 What d''ye think of it all, Wally?"
29331What d''you mean by that?
29331What d''you mean, young man?
29331What d''you s''pose brought him back? 29331 What did Dr. Franklin reply?"
29331What did Mr. Mallowe reply?
29331What did he do next?
29331What did you do with the letter-- did you destroy it?
29331What do we know about old Brunell?
29331What do you know of my locket, M''sieu Blaine?
29331What do you make of it, Mame?
29331What do you suppose Father will say?
29331What do you want to know?
29331What does he look like?
29331What if Jimmy has been up to somethin''on the quiet, that the bulls ai n''t on to, and this bunch of securities is on the level? 29331 What in h-- l does this mean?"
29331What insults, Anita? 29331 What is it, Dr. Franklin?
29331What is it, Guy?
29331What is it, Ramon? 29331 What is it?
29331What is it?
29331What is that-- infernal thing?
29331What is the dope, sir?
29331What is the matter? 29331 What of Anita Lawton?
29331What sort of positions do the members of your club fill?
29331What was it?
29331What would I do in a boarding- house? 29331 What''re you goin''to do there?
29331What''s happened to the Brunells?
29331What''s it to you? 29331 What''s that you''re sayin''about Charley?"
29331What''s the good of beating about the bush?
29331What''s the next move to be, then?
29331What''s your lay?
29331What, sir?
29331When did Jimmy Brunell turn his last trick?
29331When did you come? 29331 Where did you discover this?"
29331Where does Charley live?
29331Where is it?
29331Where was his plant?
29331Where you goin''to take him?
29331Who do you think is waiting outside? 29331 Who on earth is Alexander Gibbs, and what has he to do with Miss Lawton''s case?
29331Who was that?
29331Who-- Carlis?
29331Whom did you wish to see, sir?
29331Why did n''t you tell me that before, Loretta?
29331Why do you ask me that? 29331 Why has he tried to get rid of you?
29331Why in h-- ll should I want you to go to Grafton?
29331Why it-- it is my home, is n''t it?
29331Why on earth do you decline this offer, Blaine? 29331 Why speak of it, Anita?"
29331Why, if you had reformed, did you keep in your possession all these years your forging apparatus?
29331Why, then, should not every other available security have been stolen in practically the same way?
29331Will they arrive in time to be of service? 29331 Wo n''t you come in and have supper with me?"
29331Wo n''t you trust me?
29331Worried?
29331Would I, Miss Lawton? 29331 You actually had the letter in your hands, and relinquished it?
29331You are sure of it?
29331You are sure that it is n''t just a nervous fancy? 29331 You are sure you were not followed?"
29331You are the only son of Gerald Cecil Rockamore, third son of the Earl of Stafford?
29331You are tired?
29331You ca n''t? 29331 You caught no glimpse of the man through the half- opened door?"
29331You did n''t try, then, to lead him on, as I suggested-- to get him to talk about Miss Lawton, or the people who were employing him? 29331 You did not keep your appointment with me yesterday-- why, mademoiselle?"
29331You do n''t know what that envelope postmarked''Brooklyn''contained?
29331You found your work difficult to- day at the club?
29331You have him well covered, Ross?
29331You have it with you?
29331You have no brothers or sisters, Miss Brunell?
29331You have nothing else to report? 29331 You have taken my advice in regard to receiving your visitors?"
29331You have the notes with you?
29331You kept a list for me of Mr. Rockamore''s visitors?
29331You know the department store of Mead& Rathbun? 29331 You know, then?"
29331You obeyed my instructions?
29331You rang, sir?
29331You remember that, do n''t you, Rockamore?
29331You remember, I told you I found the kitten in the deserted house and brought it home for Mrs. Quinlan to take care of? 29331 You say that he consulted you about his business affairs, and that you knew of no trouble or difficulty which could have caused him anxiety?
29331You say they gave you no details beyond the paramount fact of my father''s ruin? 29331 You will remember that after you and father had your coffee and cigars together in the dining- room, you both joined me?"
29331You will try to be very courageous, and follow whatever lead I give you?
29331You''ll take care of it for a day or two, at least, wo n''t you? 29331 You''ve discovered their destination-- hers and her father''s?"
29331You''ve heard of them, have n''t you, Carlis? 29331 You-- read it?"
29331Young fellow-- what young fellow?
29331Your father''s associates, then, believe you to be without funds or private income of your own?
29331''Do you know what it was?''
29331''Do you think the little devil''s sold us?''
29331''Our Sunday together was spoiled, was n''t it, by that young fellow''s intrusion?''
29331''Petty''because we take every case, no matter how insignificant, if it can right a wrong?
29331''Wha''s matter with lock?
29331''What can I do for you?''
29331''What is the number on your key?''
29331''Why in h-- l should anybody take a letter, and leave packets of gilt- edged bonds and other securities lying about untouched?''
29331''Will you give a message to Mr. Morrow for me, please?
29331A brandy and soda?"
29331A nice, fat, juicy slice?"
29331After all that has gone before, can you withstand one more blow?"
29331Ai n''t she goin''to marry a young fellow that loves the ground she walks on-- a rich young fellow, that''ll give her everything, all her life?
29331Ai n''t she got good friends that''s lookin''out for her, and seein''that she do n''t want for a thing?
29331Ai n''t that so, Mame?"
29331Always he is yawning and sleepy-- who would think he was a spy?"
29331And Emily-- what of her?
29331And he was kidnaped, you say?
29331And the stakes?
29331And what actual proof had he of their criminal connection with the alleged bankruptcy of Pennington Lawton?
29331And why?
29331Anderson?"
29331Any new lodgers to- day that you know of?"
29331Are we treacherous, because we meet malefactors, and fight them with their own weapons?
29331Are you game to go back with me to- night for another call on your patient?
29331Are you prepared to play yours?"
29331Are you reporting, or exploding?
29331Besides, am I not here?
29331Blaine?"
29331Blaine?"
29331Blaine?"
29331Blaine?"
29331Blaine?"
29331Brunell, you forged the signature to the mortgage on Pennington Lawton''s home, at Paddington''s instigation?"
29331But ai n''t there lots of girls in this world worse off than she?
29331But how could Paddington be approached?
29331But how did Ramon come to be in Mac Alarney''s retreat, and so shockingly injured?"
29331But how did you know it was a warning to old Jimmy of the raid?
29331But might not the sudden attack have been brought on by his altercation with this man?
29331But now, Dr. Franklin, may I beg that you will forgive me if I retire?
29331But oh, what did he mean by the terrible things he said?
29331But s''pose Jimmy should hear of it?
29331But s''pose the bulls are after him for somethin'', and the bank''s hood- winked as well as us, where are we if we mix up in this?
29331But the big money-- the money Lawton made by grinding down the masses-- wouldn''t you like a slice of it yourself, Blaine?
29331But what does it mean-- is there anything wrong with Pennington Lawton''s note?"
29331But when did you come into the case, Mr. Blaine?
29331But where do you suppose he took her?
29331But why?"
29331But, Mr. Blaine, what do you say?
29331But-- was it purely Anita''s fancy or had some indefinable change actually taken place in the manner of her spiritual adviser?
29331By the way, have you seen the sporting page of the_ Gazette_ this morning?
29331CHAPTER XVIII THE TRAP"You are ready, Miss Lawton?
29331Ca n''t we telephone, or wire and find out if he really has gone to this place?
29331Ca n''t you give me any real information?"
29331Can you come to me at once?
29331Can you tell me what it was which brought my father''s affairs to such a pass as this?"
29331Could he be an emissary from some one whom the old forger had reason to evade?
29331Could he have meant that father had driven this man and his wife to despair?
29331Could he not accomplish more by declaring himself; could he not by one bold stroke lay bare the heart of the mystery?
29331Could she have guessed that the revolver shot which had created so much excitement that afternoon had been fired from beneath her roof?
29331Could that man have meant to insinuate that father in his own advancement had trod upon and ruined some one else, as financiers have always done?
29331Could you read it?"
29331Dared he face such a tremendous issue?
29331Detective work is''petty,''you said?
29331Did my father seem ill to you?"
29331Did you ascertain what name he took them under?"
29331Did you think I''d try to double- cross you, too?
29331Did you think of_ her_?"
29331Do I make myself quite clear now?"
29331Do n''t see anything phony about it, do you, sir?
29331Do n''t you agree with me that the world will talk?"
29331Do not I and my friends stand in_ loco parentis_ to her?"
29331Do you blame me now, Mr. Blaine, for believing, after these three manifestations, that my life is in actual danger?"
29331Do you dare-- are you insinuating, that there was something disgraceful, dishonorable about my father''s insolvency?
29331Do you feel equally sure of the other members of your Club?"
29331Do you know what I believe?
29331Do you mean that they are to have something to do with your investigation into my father''s affairs?"
29331Do you mean to tell me it was you I was playing with, back there on the road?
29331Do you need any rest, now?"
29331Do you recognize the subject of this photograph?"
29331Do you see how easily, they could be used as the letters of words in a cryptogram, by any one of an ingenious turn of mind?
29331Do you suppose that innocent, big- eyed, mealy- mouthed brat of Pennington Lawton''s suspects us?''
29331Do you think I''m goin''lookin''for a long- lost son?
29331Do you think Paddington''s had a hand in that?"
29331Do you think he suspected the motive for your being in his employ?"
29331Do you think it could have been he in the library that night, come to take revenge for that fancied wrong, at last?"
29331Do you think we''re so green at the game that you can plant the goods here an''get us put away on the strength of a past record?
29331Do you understand, Mr. Hamilton?
29331Does he not realize what I have suffered-- that every moment of suspense, of waiting for him, is an added torture?"
29331Does it concern Ramon?"
29331Does that look as if he was on the verge of bankruptcy?
29331Does that mean that there is something you wish me to find out for you?"
29331Ever hear of him?"
29331Franklin?"
29331Get me?
29331Good heavens, man, do you realize what it means if you do?
29331Had Dr. Franklin come already to inquire about a possible legacy for St. James''?
29331Had he anything to add to what the bell- boys had told you, of this man Addison''s peculiar behavior?"
29331Hamilton?"
29331Hamilton?"
29331Has something happened to Ramon?"
29331Have n''t you got Mr. Blaine on your side?"
29331Have you considered her?
29331Have you found anything yet?"
29331Have you found him?
29331Have you got any of your infernal operatives spying about?"
29331Have you news for me of Ramon?"
29331Have you told your wife of your adventure?"
29331He came here with a rag- picker''s cart, you remember?
29331He could n''t have been trying to blackmail the minister, too, could he?"
29331He hesitated, and then added,"No one else discovered this man''s presence in the house that night?
29331He left the day after his arrival, you say?
29331He was to have married Pennington Lawton''s daughter, was he not?
29331He-- Pennington Lawton required loans and obtained them through you?"
29331Henry Blaine seated himself, and as she started to turn back to her desk, he asked quickly:"You must find the work here very interesting, do you not?
29331Henry Blaine?
29331His purpose served, had Paddington betrayed him to the police, or had some warning reached him to flee before it was too late?
29331His securities in stocks and bonds, his assets were all sound?"
29331His sudden rage, controlled as it was, at the insults hurled at him?"
29331How about Paddington?"
29331How can he blame you and my father for the wreck which he made of his own life?"
29331How could he be made to speak?
29331How could such a thing have happened?
29331How did it come into your possession?"
29331How did such a catastrophe come to him?
29331How do you do?"
29331How do you know?
29331How do you know?
29331How goes it?"
29331How is it that Wilkes failed to announce you?"
29331However, I can have a talk with the girls, if they are in now-- or would you prefer to interview them?"
29331I believe you specialized in furs and laces, did n''t you?"
29331I think father knew him, did he not?"
29331I trust I am not intruding?"
29331I trust you did not show any suspicion that you doubted for a moment that it was genuine?"
29331I''m ruined, and broken, and hopeless, but I''ll live on, live till I''m even, do you hear?
29331If I have do you wish me to send it around to you?"
29331If I went to him on the square, and offered him a percentage to play dead, would n''t he be ready and willin''to divide?"
29331If he were, did Emily know for what purpose he came, and was she annoyed at her own error in involuntarily disclosing his name?
29331If it is, will you kindly send it over at once?
29331If you know where he is, be a good fellow and come across, will you?"
29331If your father had wished you to know of this interview, do n''t you think he would have told you?"
29331In heaven''s name, why?"
29331In the meantime, why not consult Mr. Mallowe?
29331Is anyone listening?
29331Is it true, sir, that you do know the whole truth?"
29331Is n''t there some way in which I can help you?
29331Is that loyalty, mademoiselle?
29331Is that_ your_ car, yours?
29331It was lucky,_ hein_, that you took the note- book with you?
29331Know anything about it?"
29331Know what would happen to us, do n''t you?"
29331Mallowe?"
29331Mallowe?"
29331Mallowe?"
29331Man, do n''t you see how you''ve been done?"
29331May I ask where you obtained this interesting but scarcely valuable information?"
29331May I bring them?"
29331May we come into your office, and talk it over?''
29331May we not also have the same desire to stay close to the place whence some one we love has departed?"
29331Might she not be the tool, consciously or unconsciously, of a nefarious plot?
29331Miss Lawton, how did you discover this?"
29331Morrow paused, then added in a lower tone, the words coming swiftly,"Ca n''t you tell me, Emily?
29331Morrow?"
29331Mr. Blaine, does it mean that my father was murdered by that man whose voice I heard-- that man who came to him in the night and threatened him?"
29331Mr. Hamilton, you have known the Lawtons for several years, have you not?"
29331Mrs. Armstrong''s suicide, you mean?"
29331My father a bankrupt?
29331Near a place called Handsworth?"
29331Nerves steady enough for the ordeal?"
29331No one ever found out who stabbed him, there in the park, did they?"
29331Now about the will; it was produced by your late father''s attorneys?"
29331Now do you understand?''"
29331Now, sir, will you read it out loud, please?"
29331Oh, I forgot to tell you that the visitor''s name was Paddington, but that does n''t matter, does it?
29331Oh, Ramon, I''ve been afraid to distress you by asking you, but did you tell the truth at the trial-- all the truth, I mean?
29331Oh, why did n''t you tell me?"
29331Oh, why wo n''t you go heeled or guarded?
29331Pad''s up in the air about something, and wants this Charley- boy right away, and he tells me to look here for him and not come back without him, see?
29331Page 171: Was"d''you"in the original text( What= d''you= s''pose brought him back?)
29331Page 279: Was"_ in loco parentis_"in the original text( Do not I and my friends stand= in_ loco parentis_= to her?)
29331Pennold obviously had kept something back, but was it of sufficient importance to warrant his returning and forcing a confession?
29331Ramon, do n''t you see, do n''t you understand, there is some mystery on foot, some terrible conspiracy?
29331Ramon, would you have considered my father a rich man?"
29331Remember Rockamore''s experience with the one he took?
29331Rockamore?"
29331Rockamore?"
29331Run away?"
29331S''pose they was trying to trace him through us?"
29331See this photograph?"
29331Shall I ring for them?"
29331Shall not I read the notes to you?
29331She paused, and after a moment Blaine asked:"And that is all?"
29331Should he continue with his investigations, or go to Henry Blaine and confess that he had failed him?
29331Should he go on with his work?
29331Should he, dared he, throw caution to the winds and step out into the open, in his true colors at last?
29331Should you not see them?
29331Something new come up?"
29331Surely you do not mind the liberty I took in announcing myself, my dear child?"
29331Swell dame, that Annie-- some queen, eh?
29331Tell me, have you heard anything from the club girls we established in your guardian''s offices?"
29331That at least there is a chance for me?
29331That is self- evident, is n''t it?"
29331That locket which you are wearing at the present moment, mademoiselle?"
29331That unknown visitor, my father''s death so soon after, and now this sudden revelation of his bankruptcy, together with this accident to you?
29331That''s it, is n''t it?''
29331The bullet glanced upward in its course, did n''t it?"
29331The guy they call the Master Mind?"
29331The last letter of the last word on that line is_ f_,_ is n''t it_?
29331The morning after this boy, Johnnie, caught him in front of Mr. Lawton''s door?"
29331The negotiations were then completed shortly thereafter?"
29331Then a realization of the situation dawned upon him, and he demanded, hoarsely:"Who are you?
29331Then he smiled, and added, with a touch of mockery:"But what difference can that make?
29331Then if he has gone to this place, wherever it is, he is in danger?"
29331Then you solved it?"
29331They''re both Pad''s men-- met''em yet?"
29331Think he''s broke, an''wants a touch?"
29331Understand?"
29331Want me to explain?
29331Want to come in on it, Rockamore?''
29331Was he any better than she or her father?
29331Was it really through tenderness and affection for her father''s daughter, or was it to stay her hand and close her mouth to all queries?
29331Was my father like other rich men, Ramon?
29331Was n''t I in on the ground floor?
29331Was n''t he my brother''s boy?"
29331Was she aware of the two additional attempts only the day before on the life of the man she loved?
29331Was that really all you remember?"
29331We have n''t done for him, have we?"
29331Well, Mr. Brunell, shall we get to business?''
29331What about the Irish girl, Loretta Murfree?"
29331What am I boss for, if I do n''t own a little man like the Recorder of Deeds?"
29331What am I boss for, if I do n''t own a little man like the Recorder of Deeds?''"
29331What are you doing here?"
29331What business could a detective of his caliber have to do with Bertrand Rockamore?
29331What can I do for you?"
29331What can I do for you?"
29331What could be detaining him?
29331What could be keeping her to- night, of all nights?
29331What could it mean, Ramon?
29331What could that slender, brown- haired, clear- eyed girl be to the man he had been sent to spy upon-- to Jimmy Brunell, the forger?
29331What could the young girl have discovered, shut up there in that great lonely house?
29331What credentials, what proof of his integrity and clean, honest life could he present to the man whose daughter he sought to marry?
29331What d''you mean-- convicted myself?"
29331What did he mean?
29331What difference does it make in this case?"
29331What do you mean, Dr. Franklin?
29331What do you mean, dearest?"
29331What do you mean?"
29331What do you think he got?
29331What does it mean?
29331What enemies could this dear child here have made, and who could wish to harm her?
29331What had become of Jimmy Brunell?
29331What had the woman meant?
29331What happened after the interview was over?"
29331What has happened to you?"
29331What has happened?"
29331What have you discovered?"
29331What indeed would Jimmy Brunell say?
29331What is her name?"
29331What is it that is troubling you?"
29331What is my share for collecting for you?
29331What is my share for collecting for you?''"
29331What is there which I, his daughter, should not know?
29331What is your price?"
29331What letter?"
29331What more could she want?
29331What need, then, to blazon them forth to a gaping world?
29331What new developments could have arisen, in the case which until this moment had seemed plain to him to the end?
29331What put you on the right track?"
29331What sort of a man, Marsh?"
29331What sort of sensation are you trying to work up now, my man, by such a ridiculous assertion?
29331What terrible mistake could he have made, he whose judgment was almost infallible?"
29331What was that tune you whistled a moment ago, when Marsh came in with the news?
29331What was the second incident?"
29331What will people say?"
29331What would I send Charley for, when I''d gone myself an''it had n''t worked?"
29331What''s he doing now?"
29331What''s his game?
29331What''s his name, by the way?"
29331What''s the idea?"
29331What''s your lay?"
29331What''s your moniker?"
29331When did it first occur to you that he was in trouble?"
29331Where are you now?"
29331Where did you find it?"
29331Where did you send him, Mr. Blaine?
29331Where do you wish to place them?"
29331Where shall I see you?
29331Where will he go now?"
29331Where''s your spirit?
29331Who are you, young man?
29331Who could have attempted to perpetrate such a senseless hoax, a ridiculous insult to your intelligence and mine?"
29331Who could the man have been?
29331Who dares accuse me?"
29331Who has told you this terrible thing?"
29331Who told you of this?
29331Why did he come like a thief in the night?
29331Why did he say that you, as well as my father, were responsible for his tragedy?"
29331Why did n''t you?''
29331Why did not Ramon come?
29331Why did that cry rise from your lips when you saw what it contained?"
29331Why did that reference to this Herbert and his wife cause him such pain?"
29331Why did you recoil?
29331Why did you send a cipher letter?"
29331Why did you try so desperately to leave the city?"
29331Why do you look at me so strangely?"
29331Why had the attorney considered it necessary to assure his late client''s daughter that the will which he had himself drawn was genuine?
29331Why had they offered to help her?
29331Why is it that every time you have entered this room since, you have been unable to keep away from it?
29331Why must I be so hedged in?
29331Why must everything be kept from me?
29331Why on earth do you refuse it?"
29331Why should he appeal to you?"
29331Why should he have groaned as if the very mention of these people hurt him inexpressibly?"
29331Why should he, Mallowe, take me into his confidence about an affair which took place in his private office?
29331Why should n''t he?
29331Why should we not?
29331Why should you put this girl, Emily Brunell, before everything in the world-- your duty to Miss Lawton, to me, to yourself?"
29331Why this purposeless interview?"
29331Why was her name so significantly withheld?
29331Why, for instance, are those little dots placed near some of the crazy figures, and not others?"
29331Why, what is it?
29331Why?"
29331Will it pay to arouse their suspicions-- that is, sir, unless you''ve got some special reason for doing so?"
29331Will you be seated, please?
29331Will you do this, on my assurance that I will find them?"
29331Will you get it, please, sir?
29331Will you get them, too?"
29331With whom was she connected?
29331Wo n''t you tell me that you care, too?
29331Wo n''t you tell me, Mr. Blaine?
29331Workin''once more?"
29331Would Emily Brunell never come?
29331Would you like to talk with her?"
29331Yet had not he been seeking deliberately to betray her and those she loved, under the guise of friendship?
29331You are connected with the official work of the club?"
29331You are quite sure that you will not accept my mother''s invitation?
29331You are quite sure?"
29331You come and tell me he was a pauper instead, a bankrupt; and I am not to ask how this state of affairs came about?
29331You did not see him yesterday?"
29331You have not seen him?"
29331You have something to tell me?"
29331You have told no one?
29331You intend to accompany the body to England?"
29331You perhaps prefer cigars-- no?
29331You remember James Brunell, the forger?"
29331You say Paddington has not appeared in the neighborhood, but another man has-- a man Brunell''s daughter seems to dislike and fear?"
29331You think, then, Mr. Blaine, that they anticipate possible trouble-- exposure, even?
29331You told me over the''phone that Mr. Rockamore calls upon you every day?"
29331You understand, Miss Lawton?
29331You was in to see him about ten days ago, do n''t you remember?''
29331You will come at once?
29331You will not fail me?"
29331You''phoned to Mrs. Hamilton, as I suggested?"
29331You''ve been talking with the girl you say-- the daughter?"
29331You-- er-- you educate young women here, do you not, and train them for positions?"
29331Your father really has changed toward you lately?"
29331reflected upon father''s integrity?
29331the other man asked wearily, adding:"How should I know, now?
37092A man named Butler?
37092Am I to go along?
37092And now that we are partners, what''s your name?
37092And the other?
37092And this dead Chink?
37092And when do we go?
37092And when you went back into the room Harry had vanished, I suppose?
37092And where will we find one?
37092And who does it belong to?
37092And you went again to fall into trouble?
37092And you, too?
37092Are her charges high?
37092Are there electric lights made for the use of divers?
37092Are you a member?
37092Are you much attached to Miss Ethel, my boy?
37092Are you sure you have got the right side of the pier, Pow?
37092Aw, say,he cried,"youse is come back to business, has you?
37092Bout boy?
37092But do you remember when your water pipes were frozen last winter?
37092But in case he wo n''t go and insists upon your address?
37092But poor Harry?
37092But was n''t this lane behind us once known as Lorimer''s lane?
37092But what is it you have to say? 37092 But where is it now?"
37092But why did n''t they take Alice?
37092But why?
37092But you do n''t know how, nor what it was all about?
37092Can Mr. Butler have sent a substitute?
37092Can he be a Chinaman?
37092Can it be your Ed?
37092Can you see down there in the dark? 37092 Can you wonder?
37092Come now, you be good boy and we give you money so we find money in blox, see?
37092Did he say anything about his wife?
37092Dlen you dlive again and again and again till you gettee blox, see?
37092Do n''t you want to see him?
37092Do what?
37092Do you deny it?
37092Do you mean to say your father has set Old King Brady on to me?
37092Do you propose to pay in advance for your Chinese clew?
37092Do you think Pow Chow means to set the boy diving for this treasure to- night?
37092Doctor, do you know the drug which has been used on my partner?
37092Does it act on the heart?
37092Excuse me,he said in a manly way, addressing the elder detective,"are you Old King Brady?"
37092Had the money been divided into two parcels?
37092Has Mrs. Butler come yet?
37092He makes no explanation of their contents?
37092How are you going to dive down without coming up on the pier?
37092How can I say anything when I know so little? 37092 How can I tell him when I am a prisoner here in this secret den?"
37092How dare you talk like that? 37092 How do you figure that out?"
37092How do you mean?
37092How?
37092I can tell nothing, nor will I. I am here to help you, and that is just as far as I''m going-- see?
37092I do n''t mind trying it again, but say, Pow, does the paper tell which end of the pier to count the piles from?
37092I thought Fisher''s fertilizer factory stood at the foot of Lorimer''s lane?
37092In other words, if she were not your sister you would not be in the least attached to her?
37092Indeed?
37092Is he the man who blabbed to Old King Brady about Pow Chow and this treasure business?
37092Is it a tin case?
37092Is it important, Alice?
37092Is it opium?
37092Is it so that I can go in there?
37092Is the corpse still fastened to the rope?
37092It is n''t Fisher''s fertilizer factory, then?
37092Know Dock Hing?
37092Look here, Brady, you are working up a case for an employee in the Albany pension office, are you not?
37092Looking for Ethel, hey?
37092No one here?
37092Now then, what am I to do?
37092Of what?
37092Oh, Ethel, how could you ever be such a fool?
37092Oh, Mr. Brady, do you think it can be poor Harry?
37092Oh,he said finally,"you mean Cripple Creek, do n''t you?"
37092Say, who are you?
37092See any one under there, Eddie?
37092She stands for anything I stand for-- see? 37092 So you have hung the old man?"
37092Something big?
37092Sounds rather fishy, do n''t you think so, governor?
37092Suppose I try it at the seventh pile, counting from the inside end?
37092Suppose we ring off and come back in the early morning, Eddie?
37092That you, Ed Butler?
37092That? 37092 The Government?"
37092Timid? 37092 Use me how?"
37092Well, Eddie, how do you feel?
37092Well, I do n''t care so much, but what will they do with me?
37092Well, did you find it?
37092Well, my little man,inquired a visitor pleasantly,"who are you?"
37092Well, what''s the matter now?
37092What Ethel stole from my father?
37092What about Pell street?
37092What are they saying?
37092What are we to do?
37092What building is this?
37092What can we do?
37092What did they do to you?
37092What dlese?
37092What do Chinese doctors know? 37092 What do you mean?"
37092What do you think, Quong?
37092What have you brought me away out here for? 37092 What if I did?"
37092What is this woman''s name?
37092What makes you think that?
37092What ought I to do?
37092What say? 37092 What''s a couple of hundred, anyway?
37092What''s the matter, Eddie? 37092 What''s up?"
37092When you fishee dlis up you see noder box dlown dlere in water?
37092Where are you staying?
37092Where can they be taking me? 37092 Where do we go?"
37092Where in thunder is the Chinaman?
37092Where''s Ethel?
37092Which den do you propose to tackle first?
37092Which end did you count from?
37092Who are you?
37092Who can it be?
37092Who hid it?
37092Who told you that?
37092Who was it stolen from?
37092Who''s down dere?
37092Why did n''t you bring it up?
37092Why do n''t you go ahead? 37092 Why do you ask me that question-- you who captured me?"
37092Why have you captured me?
37092Why was it only me?
37092Why, when we got there----"Where is there, Alice?
37092Why?
37092Wo n''t you have something to eat? 37092 Would you kill me after what I have done for you, Joe Ding?"
37092Yes, but why did n''t my father tell me?
37092You are sure?
37092You are trying to find money sunk in the sand, you and Old King Brady, are n''t you?
37092You consider him dead?
37092You did n''t get it?
37092You dived for that money?
37092You do n''t hear anything, do you?
37092You do n''t intend to try it alone then?
37092You gettee blox?
37092You gettee dlat blox?
37092You mean something more than just about the boy?
37092You remember those papers?
37092You sure?
37092You-- are-- Old-- King-- Brady?
37092Your horse is n''t timid, I suppose?
37092And what may the nature of those papers be?"
37092And who could say into what sort of a queer den this opening might lead?
37092Are you Pow Chow?"
37092Are you hurt?"
37092Are you the boy what did the diving?"
37092But what about Ethel?
37092But what had become of Tom Quee?
37092But why?
37092But you will try it again, Eddie?"
37092Ca n''t stop here without any clothes on-- see?"
37092Ca n''t those infernal nippers be taken off my neck?"
37092Chemist-- Have it scented?
37092De Chinks are waitin''for yer-- see?"
37092Did Ed find the crooked pension agent''s buried treasure?
37092Did yer?"
37092Does Ethel stand for the way you have treated me?"
37092Ethel had been told by her husband how to say in Chinese,"Is that you, Pow?"
37092Father-- What makes you so extravagant with my money, sir?
37092Has he been here yet?"
37092Have you heard anything of Ethel-- my daughter, I mean?"
37092How can we be expected to find papers of which we know nothing?"
37092How did you leave them all at home?
37092How in the world did it happen?"
37092How much money is there?"
37092How much money is there?"
37092I sha n''t cry if it all proves romance, but how would that old Chink have the location down so pat unless there was something in what he says?"
37092I suppose you are wondering what became of us last night?"
37092I''ll give you a kick-- see?"
37092If Harry was not hung there in that shaft, where then was he?
37092Is he alive or dead?"
37092Is it that now, I wonder?"
37092Is n''t that enough?"
37092Is she here in Chinatown, as you supposed?"
37092Me givee you whole lot money-- see?"
37092Me killee you if you makee fluss-- see?"
37092Me no can do nluffin, see?

37092Mrs. McGuire-- An''what are th''directions, Mrs. Finegan?
37092Mrs. McGuire-- Is your old man any better since he wint to th''doctor''s, Mrs. Finegan?
37092Now what you got to say to me about that boy?"
37092Now where''s de place?"
37092Of course, I do n''t care what Mr. Butler thinks, but is mother very mad with me?"
37092Of course, she ca n''t speak Chinese?"
37092Pow lit a cigarette, and, turning to his wife, asked:"Well, Ethel, shall I tell Eddie what we want of him to- night?"
37092Remember when your father went to New York after finding the papers?"
37092Say, are you Dock Hing''s prisoner?"
37092Shall we send him home?"
37092So you win, lemember, old man, gimme more money-- see?"
37092Well?"
37092What about him?

37092What are you hanging back for?"
37092What brought you here?
37092What do yer say?"
37092What do you intend to do with me?"
37092What do you say?"
37092What do you say?"
37092What on earth shall I do?"
37092What was he driving at?
37092What was that?"
37092What were they about?
37092What were they about?]
37092What''s your name?"
37092Whatever brought you to New York?"
37092Whatever do they mean to do with me?"
37092Where is he?
37092Which shall it be?"
37092Who shot you?"
37092Who shot you?"
37092Why had he forgotten that?
37092Why should I kill you?
37092Will you be sensible and help?
37092Will you help me get that money, Ed?
37092Will you stand in wit me den and get dat box?"

37092You go?"
37092You knew that Mr. Butler expected to make money out of them?"
37092You swimee for me moller night?"
37092You were constantly quarreling, were you not?"
37092You will send him home if he comes to you?"
37092You win-- see?"
37092asked the soda clerk,"have you been taking something?"
37092he growled,"keepee belly still; be belly good now or me shootee you dead-- see?
37092or will you be ugly and force me to make you trouble?
27794A movement is so very easily made: suppose you were to ring, by mere inadvertence, and regret it afterwards?
27794A scheme of your own, Barbey?
27794A thief?
27794According to that, Charles Rambert is innocent?
27794Addressed to what name or initials?
27794Ah, Mademoiselle Thérèse,he said with the familiar yet perfectly respectful cordiality that marks country folk,"up already?
27794Ah, you admit you did recommend him to commit suicide?
27794Ah- ha, to meet your papa, sir: is he coming from far?
27794Alone?
27794Alone?
27794Am I to be punted out then?
27794Am I to be transferred to another prison?
27794And I have an assignation at the prison?
27794And I suppose the shower bath is in the corner of the room near the window?
27794And M. Etienne Rambert joins him here to- morrow?
27794And Morand did not see them going away?
27794And after that you are to examine Gurn, are n''t you, in connection with the Beltham case?
27794And after the war, madame, did you see the prisoner again?
27794And do you suppose the Company would?
27794And how long will it take for you to get full?
27794And how was I to guess that the man was an impostor?
27794And it is signed----?
27794And my make- up, Colonel? 27794 And pray what conclusion do you think ought to be drawn from that?"
27794And so, when that gentleman came up here, you did not notice him?
27794And that is all?
27794And that''s all?
27794And the cellar,Julot went on;"how do you get out of that?"
27794And the window was partly open, or had been until the maid went in to prepare her mistress''s bath? 27794 And then Nadine came in, and he had to hide?"
27794And were your other remarkable discoveries luck too?
27794And what about the money?
27794And what about the murder of Dollon? 27794 And what about the sanatorium at Glasgow?"
27794And what conclusion do you draw from the fact that the crime is a crapulous one?
27794And what do you think of doing now, Princess? 27794 And what does that mean?"
27794And what does the somebody do?
27794And what then, sir?
27794And would not, even if violently upset?
27794And you are Detective- Inspector Juve?
27794And your mother?
27794Answer my question, please: how did you know I was here?
27794Any barrels to roll anywhere?
27794Anything to be got out of it?
27794Apologise?
27794Are you ready, sir?
27794Are you satisfied that the order was sent by Lord Beltham?
27794Are you sure this wo n''t tire you too much, dear? 27794 Besides, what about it?"
27794But I suppose you are not recommending me to drop the enquiry, are you, Juve?
27794But Lady Beltham? 27794 But are n''t you three all together?"
27794But tell me,pleaded the unhappy woman,"how did you get in here?"
27794But what is it?
27794But why else should he have committed the murder?
27794But you did n''t know who I was when you came to the hotel, did you? 27794 But you loved your mother very much?"
27794But you think she is?
27794By the way, I heard you were promoted sergeant out in the Transvaal: is that so?
27794By what chance did you see me come into this house? 27794 Ca n''t you see it?
27794Can I dare to go round there and just prowl about? 27794 Can I turn out the lights?"
27794Can it really be wrong to enjoy a kiss, on a lovely night like this? 27794 Can one anticipate things like that?"
27794Can that be he?
27794Charles Rambert? 27794 Charles,"said M. Rambert very gravely,"do you forget that legally, civilly, you are dead?"
27794Come along,said one of them, and as the other caught him up, Juve added:"Did n''t you recognise those fellows?"
27794Committed the murder? 27794 Did M. Gurn have a motor- car?"
27794Did he really?
27794Did n''t you understand? 27794 Did the lady ever stay the night here?"
27794Did this bundle belong to the man who disappeared?
27794Did you know him well at that time?
27794Did you see much of him on board?
27794Do n''t you think she is pretty, this little sister of mine? 27794 Do n''t you think this tea smells delicious?"
27794Do you bet?
27794Do you deny that you killed him?
27794Do you know that it is very wonderful of you to get up so punctually?
27794Do you know who that is?
27794Do you know why I put that question to you?
27794Do you like the front or the back of the train?
27794Do you mean to begin all your horrible insinuations again, as you did at Beaulieu?
27794Do you not know me?
27794Do you recognise me now?
27794Do you recognise that man?
27794Do you see anything on those?
27794Do you still accuse me, papa? 27794 Do you still deny it?
27794Do you think the police have any accurate idea of what happened?
27794Do you want to find excuses for him, madame?
27794Does he have many visitors?
27794Enquiries about me, sir? 27794 Every day?
27794Everything all right?
27794Everything points to Gurn,Juve thought,"and yet would an ordinary murderer have dared to commit such a crime as this?
27794Fantômas, eh?
27794First of all, M. Juve, do you believe that a man could assume disguise with the cleverness that you have just represented? 27794 First- class, is n''t it?"
27794Followed me?
27794Frightened? 27794 Gad, M. Louis, a magistrate is a man, is n''t he?"
27794Good evening again, M. Julot: how are you, since I saw you just now? 27794 Good heavens, sergeant, are you bringing thieves here?
27794Gurn, have you anything to say, any confession to make? 27794 Gurn,"he began,"can you give me an account of your time during the second half of December of last year?"
27794Gurn?
27794Has M. Valgrand gone?
27794Has he given any explanation of his presence here since you assaulted him-- at which I am very angry?
27794Has he gone out? 27794 Have the women and children had all their woollen things?"
27794Have you anything else to say?
27794Have you anything to say before sentence is passed?
27794Have you been in business long? 27794 Have you got a situation?"
27794Have you many cures?
27794Have you seen the last edition of the_ Capitale_, the eleven o''clock edition? 27794 He certainly is uncommonly ugly,"the girl admitted, and then like the trained nurse that she was, she added,"and did you notice his complexion?
27794He does not speak: is he very angry with me for coming? 27794 He does not suspect anybody?"
27794He has n''t said anything; at least----"Well?
27794He was travelling the whole time you were a child, was n''t he?
27794Hogshead Geoffroy? 27794 How are you going to find out?"
27794How did you come to leave that curtain unhooked at the top, without putting it to rights?
27794How did you manage it? 27794 How did you part from each other?"
27794How do you do, my little Thérèse?
27794How do you know I had any introduction?
27794How do you know he is a thief?
27794How is it you have never told me about it? 27794 How long was all this?"
27794How long will it take you to get there?
27794How much do you want? 27794 How shall I be silent, when at last kind heaven is about to grant the fondest desire of my heart?
27794How was it possible for anyone to get into the house at this time of night?
27794How''s that?
27794Hullo? 27794 I am afraid it is rather strong, M. Valgrand; I hope you do not mind?"
27794I am sure I am keeping you up most dreadfully late, dear M. Rambert,she said apologetically,"but what am I to do?
27794I can rely upon you, ca n''t I? 27794 I do n''t suppose you''re an independent gentleman, but why do n''t you try to get taken on here?"
27794I hate brutality: is the man seriously hurt? 27794 I say-- Lady Beltham----""Yes?"
27794I suppose it is you who will get Siegenthal''s place?
27794I suppose there was a woman at the bottom of it?
27794I suppose these are your men, come to fetch the trunks?
27794I suppose this is the train due at Verrières at 6.55?
27794I suppose you have heard of the murder up at the château of Beaulieu?
27794I suppose you know that I am rich, Berthe?
27794I suppose you would have left me alone if you had n''t been sure of it?
27794I wonder what they can want me for? 27794 I''ve seen you before, I know,"he went on;"where have I met you?"
27794If he were not, whom else could we possibly suspect?
27794In other words, your tenant does not keep too sharp an eye on his money?
27794Is Gurn really Gurn, then, and have I been mistaken from start to finish in the little romance I have been weaving round him? 27794 Is he dead?"
27794Is it really possible that an old soldier like you, who seem to be such a steady, serious, kind of man, can have committed such a crime?
27794Is n''t one job as good as another?
27794Is that Methuselah''s tricycle that you have pinched?
27794Is the train signalled yet?
27794Is there anything else that I can do for you? 27794 Is there anything unusual about it?"
27794It is a long time since you have seen him, is n''t it?
27794It really is the 8.50 you want, sir?
27794It upsets you?
27794It would be a piece of good luck if my little Thérèse won the first prize, eh, Charles? 27794 It''s not in your set, then?
27794It''s quite incomprehensible,Juve muttered;"surely there ca n''t have been any powder aboard?
27794J... K... L... M... Ma... Me...--Why, M. Valgrand----"What''s the matter?
27794Jacques, would you like to come with me? 27794 Just a little friend of his, eh?"
27794Juve?
27794Knife wounds?
27794Leave you alone with him? 27794 Lisbeth?
27794Listen,and he began to declaim the letter aloud:"''Oh, wondrous genius, a flower but now unclosing''---- Got it, Charlot?
27794M. Etienne Rambert dead?
27794M. Gervais Aventin?
27794M. Louis, what is the new man on the second floor like?
27794M. Wooland, did you know Lord Beltham?
27794Madame Rambert,he said,"may I present Professor Swelding to you?
27794Madame,he said, not a muscle of his face moving,"may I trouble you to come into my study?"
27794Magistrates''office?
27794May I come in?
27794May I talk to her?
27794Might not the murderer have got in that way?
27794Mr. Solicitor- General, have you any application to make on that subject?
27794Muller, Muller?
27794Must we go on to the main gate?
27794My flight?
27794My note?
27794Nadine,she called,"are you still there?"
27794No one did,Etienne Rambert insisted;"besides, how could you prove it?"
27794No, but really?
27794No?
27794Not going? 27794 Not mad, my poor boy?
27794Not strong enough?
27794Nothing has been moved in the room, eh?
27794Of course you know that I know you were at the Cahors Assizes, Juve? 27794 Oh, I know; of course you are the man from the what''s- its- name company, come for his luggage?
27794Oh, ah, yes; and who turned him out?
27794Oh, do they?
27794Oh, yes, I think I read about that: the murderer escaped, did n''t he?
27794Oh?
27794Pray, my brother,he said;"do you wish to hear mass?"
27794Ready, Gurn?
27794Say, Marie,he said, nodding towards the window that was behind him,"what does that window open on to?"
27794Shall I see you at the seven o''clock mass, Thérèse?
27794Shall I tell you something, Juve? 27794 Shall I tell you something?"
27794Shall we go on to the platform? 27794 Shall we go out for a quarter of an hour, Fandor?"
27794Shall we start?
27794Shall?
27794She never shows any symptoms of reverting to her morbid condition?
27794She seems to be really upset; what can I say to her, I wonder?
27794So he does not live here regularly?
27794So it is finished?
27794So it was on the fourth day that you killed him?
27794So it was you who stole the rabbit, was it, Bouzille?
27794So it''s a habit of yours, is it?
27794So that is why you stood mute during the enquiry, was it, sir? 27794 So there''s something fresh to- day?"
27794So they did n''t punish you for stealing my rabbit?
27794So they suspect me too, do they?
27794So this Charles Rambert is the culprit?
27794So you decline to answer any of the principal points of the indictment? 27794 So you do not think robbery was the motive of the crime?"
27794So you have n''t gone, you did n''t go?
27794So you know her, then?
27794So you know that, do you? 27794 So, in your opinion, the prisoner''s version of the story is quite permissible?
27794Suppose they suspect me?
27794Surely you are not going to be frightened?
27794Surely you are not thinking of going?
27794Surely your ladyship will not do that?
27794Tell me candidly: was it really good?
27794Tell me, do you know what has been done? 27794 Tell me, madame, did you know that person?"
27794Tell me, sir, when you woke up did you have any impression that the baggage arranged on the seat opposite yours had been disturbed at all? 27794 Tell me,"he said with a sudden air of interest,"when is that man coming-- what''s his name?
27794That has not been touched?
27794That is to say M. Gurn went away a week after you last cleaned the place up?
27794That is where the other servants sleep, I suppose?
27794That''s the fact; this is the foreman coming along now: would you like me to speak to him for you?
27794The 8.45 is the express, is n''t it?
27794The Danish professor? 27794 The Luchon train,"he said;"where is it?"
27794The Santé? 27794 The carroty chap?"
27794The kitchen? 27794 The magistrate?"
27794The only one?
27794The problem actually before us is, how am I to get out? 27794 The robbery from Princess Sonia Danidoff?"
27794Then I shall be very glad to help you: I suppose it will be worth something, wo n''t it?
27794Then it does not seem likely that the crime was committed by anyone living in the château?
27794Then it is something serious you have to tell me?
27794Then there was a fourth passenger in this compartment?
27794Then what is to become of me?
27794Then who am I to arrest?
27794Then who is my real father?
27794Then, if you know that I am innocent, you can go and tell my father? 27794 There is one thing I should like to know: what the dickens brought you here?"
27794They are corridor carriages, I suppose?
27794This window was open?
27794To find out what?
27794To what address were you to despatch them?
27794Under what name shall you introduce me to your friend?
27794Up to?
27794Urgent? 27794 Used they to leave the house together?"
27794Was it, perhaps, some appalling hallucination,Etienne Rambert suggested:"some moment of irresponsibility?"
27794Was she ill, then?
27794We brought Gurn here, did n''t we? 27794 Well, Gurn, that''s a more agreeable sort of dinner, eh?"
27794Well, Michu, how goes it with you? 27794 Well, and what about it?"
27794Well, that''s not surprising, is it? 27794 Well, what about it?"
27794Well, what do you want with me?
27794Well,said Juve in his quiet, measured tones,"have you heard the news?"
27794Well,said Muller, to the red- headed lad,"where do you come from?"
27794Well,stammered the major- domo,"he is very poorly dressed, and besides, what was he doing in the garden?"
27794Were there many of you there?
27794Were those all the relations your husband had with the prisoner?
27794What can I be thinking of? 27794 What connection is there, President, between this uncanny creature and the disappearance of Lord Beltham, of which we were talking at dinner?"
27794What did he want to steal?
27794What did you do then?
27794What did you say?
27794What did you think of me?
27794What do we do now?
27794What do you advise me to do?
27794What do you deduce that from?
27794What do you mean, Juve?
27794What do you mean?
27794What do you mean?
27794What do you mean?
27794What do you see there, sir?
27794What do you suppose that other chap can have to tell Mr. Paul Pry? 27794 What do you think of doing yourself?"
27794What does that mean, Thérèse? 27794 What does this mean?
27794What evil spirit obsesses you? 27794 What exactly did you do after you left the château?"
27794What excuse did he give for being there?
27794What has been done since then?
27794What have I done,he muttered,"to have so heavy a cross laid on me?"
27794What is that?
27794What is the conclusion you wish to draw?
27794What is the exact plan of the château?
27794What is the joke, Lisbeth?
27794What is the matter?
27794What is your treatment here?
27794What makes you believe I did not rob Princess Sonia Danidoff?
27794What on earth do you base it all upon? 27794 What on earth is the matter with you?"
27794What on earth is the matter?
27794What servants sleep in the house?
27794What then? 27794 What was that?"
27794What was this passenger like?
27794What will you bet that this violet envelope does not contain another tribute to my fatal beauty?
27794What''s that? 27794 What''s the good of your asking me that, M''sieu Morand?"
27794What''s the matter?
27794What''s your name, deary?
27794What? 27794 What?
27794What?
27794What?
27794What?
27794What?
27794When did you do it out last?
27794When did you see M. Gurn last? 27794 When is the next train for Saint- Lazaire?"
27794When will my escape be discovered?
27794Where are you going? 27794 Where did you get these fowls?"
27794Where from?
27794Where is my collar?
27794Where is the office for forwarding luggage, my man?
27794Where is what?
27794Where to?
27794Who are these people, Lord and Lady Beltham?
27794Who are you? 27794 Who are you?
27794Who are you? 27794 Who can be writing to me from the Law Courts?"
27794Who did the work of this flat?
27794Who is Muller?
27794Who is the fellow?
27794Who is this Charles Rambert?
27794Who the deuce is kicking up all this row?
27794Who will guarantee me?
27794Who would have thought, when I was in America, that I should ever find it so useful to have learnt how to jump a train?
27794Who''s stopping you?
27794Why did the magistrate cross- examine you so much?
27794Why did the man commit this murder?
27794Why do you ask?
27794Why do you come to me, sir?
27794Why not?
27794Why not?
27794Why not?
27794Why should he take so much trouble about me? 27794 Why tell me that?"
27794Why that reservation?
27794Why the deuce did he want to go? 27794 Why wait until Fantômas is arrested?"
27794Why, how''s that?
27794Why, man, what are you up to?
27794Why?
27794Will you have a cup of tea with us?
27794Will you kindly go down before me, madame? 27794 Will you kindly tell me now what your personal opinion is as to the relative culpability of the prisoner?
27794Will you kindly turn round, madame, and tell me if you know the prisoner in the dock?
27794Will you let me accompany Charles to the station to- morrow morning? 27794 Will you please take a seat, sir?"
27794Will you please tell us anything you know that has any bearing upon the charge brought against the defendant, the charge of having killed his son?
27794Will you show me the things?
27794Will you take a glass of wine, Muller?
27794Will you take your luggage with you, sir?
27794Will your ladyship allow me to point out the danger of doing any such thing?
27794Would not this be sweet?
27794Would you like a glass of rum? 27794 Yes,"said Gervais Aventin, and, as the detective sat silent for a moment, he enquired:"Is my information too vague to be of any use to you?"
27794Yes,said M. Fuselier,"but if you do succeed, will it be of really great importance in your opinion?
27794Yes?
27794Yes?
27794Yes?
27794You accuse my father? 27794 You acted on impulse, in a fit of jealousy, eh?"
27794You are not very angry with me, M. Valgrand, are you?
27794You are sure you are not making a mistake?
27794You do n''t think Fantômas capable of throwing down his glove to the police in the shape of some such material proof of his identity?
27794You have found out nothing fresh about that mysterious murder of Lord Beltham?
27794You have got some idea in the back of your head?
27794You have overestimated your strength, and now perhaps you find the resemblance too startling? 27794 You mean M. Gigou, his clerk?"
27794You must n''t: suppose somebody has seen us already? 27794 You object to my visit as an intrusion?"
27794You still maintain that your-- extraordinary-- order to let the red- haired waiter out, was given in good faith?
27794You suggest that there shall be a supplementary investigation?
27794You want the express, sir?
27794You will explain to him, madame, wo n''t you? 27794 You''re not thinking of carrying the trunks on your shoulder, are you?
27794You''ve found out something fresh?
27794You? 27794 You?"
27794Your father really is coming by the train that reaches Verrières at 6.55?
27794_ Vive l''amour_, eh? 27794 *****Better now, madame?
2779425?"
27794A civil engineer?
27794A few yards further on there was another bar, and into this, also, Berthe peeped and once more asked,"Is M. Geoffroy here?"
27794A fresh witness is going to be called at the examination; let me see, what''s his name?
27794A thousand pounds?
27794About to be married?
27794All well at the château, eh?"
27794Am I letting my imagination run away with me again?
27794Am I like Gurn?
27794An assignation in that particular street, with that prison opposite, and Gurn to be guillotined within the next hour or so?"
27794And how on earth does he find out such a wonderful lot of things?"
27794And how''s yourself?
27794And if he did, shall I ever succeed in throwing light upon this new mystery, and learning the secret of that tragic room?"
27794And it was a success, eh?"
27794And may I enquire why you have been exercising this supervision over me?"
27794And once again Etienne Rambert asked, in tones that betrayed his keen anxiety:"Did you kill him?"
27794And pray, why?
27794And that lately you made a short journey to Limoges?"
27794And the floor above: how is that arranged?"
27794And the work?
27794And therefore had no suspicion that I was Charles Rambert?
27794And what I want to know is why you have not come to me before to ask me about that sensational robbery at the Royal Palace Hotel?"
27794And what made you suppose that I was Fantômas?"
27794And what then?"
27794And where are you taking me now-- to prison?"
27794And why do you call me Gurn?"
27794And you also say that if the thief were put before you, you could recognise him?"
27794And you are quite well, hey?
27794And_ mariages de convenance_ are played out, eh?"
27794Are my wits going?
27794Are those the ones?"
27794Are you going to be good?"
27794Are you ill, Charlot?"
27794As they walked briskly in the direction of Beaulieu Juve asked the sergeant:"What has happened at the château, then?"
27794Berthe was so utterly astonished that she overcame her fright sufficiently to stammer out a question:"But what-- but who----?"
27794Busy?"
27794But are they?
27794But if you were not asleep, how do you account for your not hearing anything?"
27794But that is the strongest thing in the world: and-- do you remember?
27794But what about the people who want to get out at Gourdon, or Souillac, or Verrières, or any of the small stations where the express does n''t stop?"
27794But what is in your mind now?"
27794But what is the proper attitude to adopt?
27794But who is able to predict the future?"
27794But who was the murderer?
27794But you have inspected the scene of the crime: tell me first, where do you think the rascal was hidden?"
27794But, do you remember too what you did for me-- through me-- thirteen months ago?"
27794But, joking apart, what did the magistrate want?"
27794But-- would you come too?"
27794By the way, Juve, what led you to go to the rue Lévert to search Gurn''s trunks?"
27794By the way, what floor are you on?"
27794Can Gurn and Lady Beltham have met and got to know each other?
27794Can you not remember having seen that man at the Royal Palace Hotel?"
27794Can you still deny that it is proof positive of your guilt?"
27794Can you tell me first of all how you came to be acquainted with him?"
27794Charles exclaimed;"what do you mean?"
27794Come now, Berthe, has it never occurred to you that perhaps I was telling the truth?"
27794Come now, have you no suspicions at all?"
27794Come now: you are Lady Beltham, widow of the late Lord Beltham, of English nationality, residing in Paris, at your own house in Neuilly?"
27794Come, you admit you did kill him?"
27794Did Fantômas really commit this murder?
27794Did you have a good journey?"
27794Did you love your husband?"
27794Do n''t you know if your mother is dead?"
27794Do you know if this man''s papers, all his papers, were found and have been preserved?"
27794Do you know the story of my make- up?
27794Do you know what agony and torture I, as a man of honour, have endured?
27794Do you know, Charles, that I have suffered too?
27794Do you mean to get us all caught?"
27794Do you not know the power of suggestion?"
27794Do you not see yourself, M. Dollon, that one or other of these two hypotheses must be correct?"
27794Do you realise, sir, that this is a typical Fantômas crime?"
27794Do you really believe I am the murderer?"
27794Do you understand the difference?
27794Do you understand?"
27794Does one ever regret it-- even if one does not keep one''s promises?"
27794Dollon?"
27794Etienne Rambert muttered:"Thérèse, you were outside?"
27794Fantômas does exist, I know, but who is he?
27794Fantômas is an enemy of society, you say?
27794Gurn?"
27794Had you come to arrest me?
27794Has anyone gone out?"
27794Has something happened that I do not know about?
27794Have you any last wish?"
27794Have you come to meet somebody, or are you going away?"
27794Have you not heard the story of my appearance at the Assizes and of my humiliation in court?"
27794He hesitated a second, and then asked:"He drank the drug, did n''t he?"
27794He hurried towards them, with unkempt hair and haggard face, and excitedly exclaimed:"Did n''t you meet the Ramberts?
27794He leaned back on his writing- table, folded his arms and asked sternly:"Have you come here only to tell me that?"
27794He looked at the lad attentively for a few moments, and then went on more gravely:"Are you satisfied now that your hypothesis was wrong?
27794How am I to find the key to the mystery?
27794How am I to prove the truth of what I feel to be so very close to me, but which eludes me every time, just as I seem to be about to grasp it?"
27794How are you to explain the presence of this blood- stained linen in your room?
27794How could the escape of so important a prisoner as the man who had murdered Lord Beltham create so little excitement as this?
27794How did you find out?
27794How did you know I travelled by that train that night?"
27794How did you know it?
27794How do you know me, may I ask?"
27794How long will it take for the tank to get full?"
27794How was I to know that it would be stolen from her the same evening?
27794How was it we did not meet him?"
27794How, I ask you, can the discovery of that map affect your case or influence the decision of the jury?
27794How?
27794How?"
27794I became the accomplice of a murderer by inducing him to run away, did I?
27794I can reappear in my own name?"
27794I did n''t come out of curiosity, or to cause you any trouble, madame; will you ask him not to be very angry with his poor old Charlot?"
27794I have nothing to fear?
27794I may sleep as sound as I like, and you will wake me at Verrières?"
27794I said to Frantz:''Cut the parson out, my boy: what the dickens am I to do while he is preaching?
27794I shall never play women''s parts, shall I?
27794I suppose Valgrand gets all sorts of offers?"
27794I suppose he uses those in making up?
27794I suppose the Board have done everything that can be done to trace the culprit?
27794I suppose you do n''t think the father was the murderer?"
27794I suppose you do not deny that?"
27794I suppose you have taken no steps as yet?"
27794I suppose you know, Thérèse, that three months ago-- stay, it was just when I had taken my degree and went to Germany-- she was sent to an asylum?
27794I wonder if it really is Charles Rambert?"
27794I''ve never seen you before have I?
27794I?
27794If you did not desire him to take his own life, and if you had no intention of killing him, what did you want?"
27794If you had met the prisoner in the street a few months ago, should you have recognised him?
27794Is all really lost?"
27794Is it necessary to declare that it was Gurn, Rambert- Gurn, who killed him?"
27794Is it this morning that he is coming?"
27794Is n''t that so?"
27794Is not that going rather far?
27794Is that so?"
27794Is there anything new in my case?"
27794Is there anything you wish to have done?"
27794Jeanne, on summer nights like this, when you are looking at a lovely view like this, do n''t you have a funny sort of feeling?"
27794Just then a deep voice called up the staircase:"Concierge: M. Gurn: have you any one of that name in the house?"
27794Juve assented...."So you still refuse to confess?"
27794Juve pointed to a chair, took the paper mechanically, and smoothing it out, read, below a large head- line,"Is this a sequel to the Beaulieu Crime?"
27794Juve?"
27794Let me see: I have been through everything?
27794Louise?"
27794M. Rambert asked,"or has your grandmamma had another gate made?"
27794Might I have committed these crimes without knowing anything about it?"
27794Might he have been a butler or a steward?"
27794Might not Juve, with his known mania for associating all crimes with each other, be going just a little too far in the present instance?
27794Might the traveller, whom you did not see, have come in for a sleep while you yourself were asleep?"
27794My mother insane?"
27794Neither you nor I look particularly like assassins, do we?"
27794Not bad, eh, what?"
27794Now I have often noticed that she has with her several young English ladies who live with her, not as companions, but, shall I say, secretaries?
27794Now do you see my idea?"
27794Now shall I tell you what your Lady Beltham really is?
27794Now what does that mean?"
27794Now what the deuce does this mean?"
27794Now where shall I be most quiet and undisturbed?"
27794Now why should we suppose that in our time no one exists who emulates the deeds of those mighty criminals?"
27794Now will you kindly look at the lady in the box: is this the same person?"
27794Now, whom ought I to be on my guard against?
27794Nudging his neighbour every now and then he whispered:"Say, where do you come from?
27794Of course he will be furious, but suppose that letter was a decoy and he is walking into a trap?
27794Of course you have another appointment with the worthy lady who gave you that money?"
27794Oh, I''ve got it-- Fandor; what about Jérôme Fandor?"
27794Oh, if science could but establish the fact that the child of a tainted mother----""Tainted?"
27794Or do you still suspect me?"
27794Or shall I appeal to her proselytising mania, and do the repentant sinner act?
27794Or the brutal?
27794Or was this merely some irresponsible lunatic, whom chance alone had enabled to get into her rooms?
27794Perhaps you will be angry with me?
27794Possibly some unpleasant discovery, made after my departure, will raise some animosity in your breast against me?
27794Rambert?"
27794Rue d''Hauteville, is n''t it?"
27794Say, Charlot, is this a proposal?
27794Say, Thérèse, is n''t it the fact that we shall see the front of the château directly we have passed this little copse?"
27794See?
27794Shall I give you a dot?
27794Shall I have Muller in first?"
27794Shall it be to- morrow?
27794Shall we go on?"
27794Shall we go outside for a little while?"
27794She did not venture inside, but in a clear voice asked,"Is M. Geoffroy here?"
27794She was in your ward for about six months, was n''t she?"
27794So I took the author aside and I said:''Frantz, my boy, I''ll tell you what you must do: you know the lawyer''s speech?
27794So early?
27794So it was my lodger who did it?
27794So the murderer could not have hidden in the basement, and where else could he have hidden?
27794So you are there?"
27794Some of yours too: do you see them?
27794Still got the old complaint?"
27794Suppose I turn governess?"
27794Suppose there were another bell?"
27794THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT"Does M. Gurn live here, please?"
27794Tell me simply this: in what circumstances did you make that journey?
27794That is your honest belief?"
27794That would be worth winning?"
27794That''s true, is n''t it?
27794That''s what it means to be famous, M. Gurn; eh, what?"
27794The Reverend-- oh, yes: you have just come from Scotland?
27794The anteroom?
27794The cupboards?
27794The gendarme, Morand, smiled with the disillusioned air of a man who knows very well what trouble is, and the sergeant replied:"Put them?
27794The latter came swaggering into the room with a would- be majestic air, and solemnly and pompously enquired:"Now then, what''s all this about?"
27794The magistrate tried to make out that you were implicated in it?"
27794The possessor of considerable private means?
27794The saucepans?
27794The sentimental?
27794The sergeant''s got a word for him, eh, what?"
27794The stove?
27794Then she said:"Tell me, Berthe, what do you understand by the word''cured''?"
27794Then you admit that you know whom I am talking about?"
27794Then, without raising his head, he asked abruptly:"You were very surprised to hear of his death?"
27794There are no other documents relating to the matter?"
27794There are some people about, eh?"
27794This is the fourth or fifth time you''ve pinched me, is n''t it?"
27794Thérèse?"
27794Twice he asked:"Are you quite sure it was Juve?"
27794Two thousand pounds?"
27794Two years-- three years?"
27794Valgrand?"
27794Valgrand?"
27794Van den Rosen and Princess Sonia Danidoff?"
27794Van den Rosen, was n''t she?
27794Wait a bit; what is the name of that company?
27794Was he dreaming, or had he really waked up?
27794Was his face still distinct in your memory, or had it become blurred and vague?"
27794Was she alone with a monster who, after having played with her as a cat plays with a mouse, would suddenly turn and kill her?
27794Was that just chance, or was it planned deliberately?"
27794Was there something more important than money or jewels to be got?
27794Well, can you let us know any of the advice you gave your son?
27794Well, is it a go?"
27794Well, sir, I got into the train at Vierzon, into a first- class carriage----""What kind of carriage?"
27794Well, what about her?"
27794Well, would you have been glad if your son had taken his own life?"
27794Were you not rather surprised when you received a letter from Lord Beltham four days ago?"
27794What am I going to do with you, eh?
27794What am I to do while he is delivering it?
27794What carriage did you get into?
27794What did you do then?"
27794What do you bet?"
27794What do you mean?"
27794What do you take me for, Thérèse?
27794What do you think he said?
27794What do you think?
27794What do you want now, pray?"
27794What do you want?
27794What do you want?"
27794What does this woman want with him?
27794What else have you done?
27794What good wind has blown you here?
27794What happened then?"
27794What has happened?
27794What has he been up to?"
27794What if we only wanted to test you, and prove your quality?
27794What interest or what motive can he have?
27794What is the matter?"
27794What is the real truth of the whole affair?
27794What is the use of mere denials?
27794What is your opinion about my madness?"
27794What is your view, sir, of a crapulous robber who sees valuables like that within his reach, and who does not take them?"
27794What might Fantômas be doing now, and, if he had a real existence, as the detective most firmly believed, how was he spending New Year''s Day?
27794What on earth will they say to me?"
27794What percentage of cures can you show there?"
27794What should his deportment be when he came face to face with her?
27794What sort of tragedy will they think that must have been for a man like me, with sixty years of honour and of honourable life behind him?"
27794What the deuce were you doing in the rue Lévert?"
27794What was to be done with regard to that personage?
27794What was your impression of the whole affair-- of the verdict, and of Etienne Rambert''s guilt or innocence?"
27794What would old Morin have to tell him?
27794What''s exhaustion?
27794What, did n''t you know?
27794When shall you finish?
27794When used he to see her?"
27794When, all afire with love, I am kneeling at your feet?"
27794Where Gurn is-- in the condemned cell?"
27794Where are they?
27794Where are they?"
27794Where did you get into the train?"
27794Where do you expect me to put them?
27794Where is Hogshead Geoffroy?"
27794Where is Lisbeth?"
27794Where is it?"
27794Which would you prefer: that I should interrogate you, or that I should leave you to tell your story in your own way?
27794Which----?
27794Who called me?
27794Who is there, among the staff, of whom I ought to be careful as doubtful associates?
27794Who spoke?
27794Who travelled with you in that carriage?
27794Whoever would have thought it?
27794Why could not I have watched over your upbringing?
27794Why has fate decreed that I should only see my son three times at most in eighteen years, and come home to find him-- a criminal?
27794Why not keep the first syllable of Fantômas?
27794Why should a subordinate, my under- steward, presume to do what I would not permit myself to do?"
27794Why were you at the Saint- Anthony''s Pig?
27794Why will you insist that your unhappy son is a criminal?
27794Why, in the first place, did you obstinately decline to speak to the examining magistrate?"
27794Why, why come here like this, and let yourself be caught and tortured so?"
27794Why, you know they have written to your home to say you are cured?"
27794Why?
27794Will that suit you?
27794Will you be able to infer from that one fact that Gurn and the man who murdered the Marquise de Langrune are one and the same person?
27794Will you bet, Charlot?"
27794Would you like a cigarette?
27794Would you like to make sure of your future for ever, and quite easily?
27794Would you like to try that idea?"
27794Yes... yes: you want to know if you may call this evening?
27794Yet perhaps you were mad-- then?"
27794You accuse me of having killed the Marquise?
27794You admit that Lord Beltham and his murderer may have had a heated discussion, as a consequence of which Gurn committed this crime?
27794You are Charles Rambert, and you were Mademoiselle Jeanne?"
27794You do not know me, Princess?
27794You do, Susannah, do n''t you?"
27794You noticed the sensation when he came on the stage?"
27794You really accuse Etienne Rambert of being Gurn?
27794You remember what an excitement there was when Lord Beltham disappeared?
27794You saw him quite close at the trial, Comte: what do you think?"
27794You think he has been here before?"
27794You were on the platform, waiting for the train; it came in; what happened then?"
27794You''re not from these parts, are you?
27794Your Lady Beltham is anything you like: what do I care for Lady Beltham?
27794Your grandmamma has taken the trouble to send her carriage?"
27794cried Charles, growing momentarily more distressed and bewildered;"what is that, papa?
27794cried Muller;"and the red- headed fellow: the carroty chap?"
27794de Langrune bolt her door every night?"
27794de Langrune kept her valuables?"
27794de Langrune, either during that night when you persuaded him to run away, or afterwards?
27794de Vibray lives, is n''t it?"
27794he enquired, and as the magistrate shook his head, he added,"Are you going to examine Muller now?"
27794he exclaimed softly;"who can be coming to ring Gurn up when everybody in Paris knows he has been arrested?"
27794he exclaimed,"are you in the employment of my future father- in- law?"
27794he said in the same low tone;"you often get nabbed?"
27794said Charles Rambert,"have you finished talking about Fantômas?
27794said the warder;"funds low, eh?
27794she said:"M. de Presles?
27794the Colonel protested:"a great lady like Lady Beltham, so religious and so austere?
27794up already?"
32732''Ere,he called out truculently,"see that, guv''nor?"
32732A black silk dress-- for me?
32732A celebration, eh?
32732A dissolution of partnership, in fact?
32732A going concern?
32732A timid dancer?
32732Adventure?
32732Am I a prisoner?
32732Am I being at all unusual in visiting you like this?
32732And Grace?
32732And Hartwell? 32732 And Lord Felixstowe?"
32732And just why?
32732And the garden, I suppose, should all have been prepared for us?
32732And the lighting?
32732And what about that?
32732And what are your terms?
32732And what do you suppose my next proceeding will be?
32732And what''s in that cardboard box?
32732And where do I come in? 32732 And why not?"
32732And you''ll be home at the usual time for your supper, sir?
32732And you''ll come?
32732Any other criticism?
32732Any other members of the gang?
32732Any specific method?
32732Anything in the rest of the correspondence?
32732Anything more I can do for you to- night, sir?
32732Anything more you want for the place, Dick?
32732Anything troubling you?
32732Are you a resident in these parts, may I ask?
32732Are you an American, then, or Colonial?
32732Are you beginning to make fun of me?
32732Are you coming up west for luncheon to- day?
32732Are you feeling at all festive?
32732Are you giving up teaching?
32732Are you going into the Rooms this morning?
32732Are you going to be there?
32732Are you going to ride up with us in the dickey to- morrow?
32732Are you in love with some one else?
32732Are you in there?
32732Are you seeing ghosts?
32732Are you trying to threaten me?
32732Are you very broken- hearted?
32732Are you, by any chance, a lawyer?
32732Are you?
32732Bird''s- nesting? 32732 Boss in?"
32732But supposing, even at the risk of involving Miss Bultiwell, I go to Scotland Yard?
32732But surely these are n''t all mine? 32732 But tell me,"he asked,"is n''t it very early for you to leave town?"
32732But there are surely many cases,the Marquis argued,"in which the seller knows and the buyer does not know?
32732But what on earth made you suspicious?
32732But why should you think that they can hurt me?
32732But you are n''t giving fifty thousand pounds for the Shoreditch Empress?
32732But you did care for him very much, did n''t you?
32732By the bye, what happened?
32732By the bye, will you let me have one more glance at the undertaking to sell?
32732Ca n''t I be in this?
32732Ca n''t you let us into the joke?
32732Ca n''t you put her out of your thoughts, old chap?
32732Could n''t you get to like me best?
32732Cropstone?
32732Dear friend,he remonstrated,"of what use in the world is revenge?
32732Dick,he asked quietly,"is there any sense in two men arguing about a girl, when one is in love with her and the other is n''t?"
32732Dick,he said,"you''d think I was a commonplace sort of fellow enough, would n''t you?
32732Did she ask for me by name?
32732Did she tell you so?
32732Did they state the nature of their business?
32732Did you change because of another girl?
32732Did you ever hear of a man,Jacob went on,"who made his fortune with a smile?
32732Did you hear anything of Miss Bultiwell while you were abroad?
32732Did you hear that, Joe?
32732Did you see him miss his drive? 32732 Did you?"
32732Do I carry my profession about with me to that extent? 32732 Do I gather that you won?"
32732Do you know why they do slope downwards?
32732Do you like this bathing suit, or do you prefer the one I wore yesterday?
32732Do you mean to say that you have asked your sister to drive that crazy old tin kettle of yours all the way down from London?
32732Do you mean to say that you''re shamming?
32732Does he gain or lose by it?
32732Does one discuss those things? 32732 Does that include the luncheon with your father and the dinner with your mother?"
32732Does this seem a reasonable way to get it?
32732Eh, Littleham? 32732 Enterprises?"
32732Feeling all right again, eh?
32732Financially?
32732For example?
32732For how much?
32732Forgotten me, Lord Felixstowe?
32732Forty thousand pounds? 32732 Full price?"
32732Gay little hamlet, what?
32732Given him his gruel?
32732Go into business again on a larger scale?
32732Got everything?
32732Got it laid by for him, have n''t you?
32732Got the pip, old bean?
32732Had n''t I better set the gramophone going first?
32732Has the girl been unkind?
32732Have we all gone mad, Jacob?
32732Have you an appointment?
32732Have you any documents?
32732Have you had any conversation with her?
32732Have you made any plans at all for the future?
32732Have you seen her lately?
32732Have you told Lord Felixstowe?
32732He got my message?
32732Here,he said,"do you feel like giving a tenner for a whisky and soda?"
32732How are you feeling now?
32732How are you?
32732How can I give you away?
32732How did she get mixed up with such a crew?
32732How goes the dancing?
32732How is Miss Bultiwell?
32732How is Miss Bultiwell?
32732How is Sam?
32732How is your hospitable father?
32732How long is this tomfoolery going on?
32732How on earth did you get here?
32732How''s the Glasgow Daisy?
32732However, she may get more reasonable after the first shock has passed away.... Time we started for the City, eh, Dick?
32732Hullo,he called out,"is n''t that my carriage over there?"
32732I met her in the Park-- with whom do you think?
32732I seem to have startled you all a bit, what?
32732I suppose you think that I am very plainly dressed?
32732I suppose-- it''s really Sybil?
32732I understand, then, that you decline to purchase my property?
32732If you care enough,he ventured gravely,"the conditions of life do n''t seem to matter so much, do they?"
32732Ill?
32732In the meantime, Mr. Pratt,the physician enquired, replacing his watch in his waistcoat pocket,"can I be of any service to you?
32732In the nick of time for what?
32732In what respect?
32732In what way, may I ask?
32732In what way?
32732Indefinite?
32732Is Mr. Jacob Pratt in?
32732Is he?
32732Is it all true?
32732Is it permitted to ask you any questions with regard to your present avocation?
32732Is n''t there a private company there?
32732Is that absolutely necessary?
32732Is that fellow Maurice somebody coming down?
32732Is that so?
32732Is that whisky?
32732Is the bird''s- nesting good there?
32732Is the guv''nor in or is n''t he?
32732Is there any reason,he asked desperately,"why you should n''t treat me like an ordinary human being?"
32732Is there any sense,she demanded,"in being in love with a person who, as you perfectly well know, thoroughly dislikes and detests you?"
32732It does n''t seem quite fair, does it?
32732It is your intention, I presume,the accountant enquired,"to pay your debts in full?"
32732Jacob, have you any more relatives? 32732 Just about reached the bank, has n''t she?"
32732Just in the nick of time, eh?
32732Just what are you going to do about it?
32732Land speculation, eh?
32732Like an introduction?
32732Look here, Pratt,he demanded,"have you bought the Cropstone Wood, Water and Electric Light Company?"
32732Look here, young fellow,Jacob observed, when his young friend made his joyous return,"just how old are you?"
32732Lose your heart last night, Felix?
32732Married?
32732May I have the children for a few minutes, Miss Bultiwell, please?
32732May I leave it open just for a short time?
32732Miss Bultiwell,Jacob asked wistfully,"are you never going to get rid of this ridiculous prejudice against me?"
32732Money?
32732Moorland and boulder- strewn heath, I suppose?
32732Most likely spot in the United Kingdom!--Shall we beat it? 32732 Most what?"
32732Mr. Jacob Pratt, I am sure?
32732Mr. Morse''s compliments, sir, and will you step down to the library and see Doctor Bardolf?
32732Mr. Pratt,he begged,"can I have a few words with you on business?"
32732Mr. Pratt,she asked,"how did you contrive to offend Miss Bultiwell?"
32732Mr. Pratt,she invited,"wo n''t you come and dine with us one evening?
32732Must you?
32732No more two- mile trudges to work, eh?
32732Non- stop run down, I suppose, Mary?
32732Not Jacob Pratt, the oil millionaire?
32732Not deserve?
32732Not only that,Dauncey reminded him,"but some of the people who''ve bought the land are your friends, are n''t they?
32732Not quite so sunny as usual, is it?
32732Not too many clients yet, eh?
32732Nothing wrong Cropstone way, is there?
32732Now tell me, have they started? 32732 Now what would you say if I walked into your office and asked for a post as typist at two or three pounds a week?"
32732Old friend of yours, Miss Bultiwell, eh?
32732One for yours truly, eh?
32732One more song, Miss Bultiwell?
32732Or have you developed an hysterical sense of humour? 32732 Or you would not have come?"
32732Our love affairs do n''t seem to be prospering, do they?
32732Painful?
32732Perhaps not,she retorted,"but ca n''t you see the difference?
32732Please may I look through the agreement?
32732Really?
32732Right up in Scotland you say? 32732 Shall I be able to see him?"
32732Shall I be able to wear kilts and have a bagpipe man?
32732So there''s been some crooked business, eh?
32732So you two know one another?
32732Supposing I''d dodged that drug and shown fight?
32732Supposing some of the purchasers should fail to make good their deposits?
32732Surely I know best about that?
32732Swindle?
32732Take me to the gates, wo n''t you, Mr. Pratt? 32732 That''s how he looks at it, is it?"
32732The Mortimer and Craig interests have had to be paid out, I suppose?
32732Then all that talk of yours about getting me out of danger was bunkum?
32732Then what''s the use of the land for building?
32732Then why do n''t you tell the other girl so?
32732They?
32732To what am I indebted,he asked,"for this unexpected pleasure?"
32732To- morrow? 32732 Unfortunate, you call it?"
32732Was I?
32732Water good?
32732Water supply all right?
32732We do seem to come across one another in strange places and under strange conditions, do n''t we?
32732We shall meet in the morning, and, if I might ask it, would you make as little noise as possible in your movements? 32732 We''re not going around the world treasure hunting, or anything of that sort, are we?"
32732Well, Jacob, my Napoleon of finance, how goes it?
32732Well, dear guest,she called up,"how was the spare- room bed?"
32732Well?
32732Were you armed, you fellows?
32732Were you thinking of any one in particular?
32732What about a cold chicken and a pint of Mumm, eh?
32732What about him?
32732What about it, old dear?
32732What about it?
32732What about luncheon to- day, Jacob?
32732What about running over to see us to- night or to- morrow night in that new car of yours, Pratt, eh?
32732What about the other fellow?
32732What about the others?
32732What are the terms of my release?
32732What are you doing walking with Lady Mary in Kensington Gardens at this time of the morning?
32732What are you going to do, then?
32732What are you grumbling at?
32732What are you really going to do with your money, Jacob?
32732What are you talking about?
32732What did you have for luncheon?
32732What do you mean?
32732What do you mean?
32732What do you most wish to learn, and have you any idea of the steps?
32732What does Miss Bultiwell say to that?
32732What happens then?
32732What have I done?
32732What have I got to bear up about?
32732What have you been doing in there with mother?
32732What have you brought?
32732What in the name of thunder are you two doing here together?
32732What is it, Dick?
32732What is it?
32732What is it?
32732What is it?
32732What made you look them all up?
32732What price are we going to charge for the electric light?
32732What price?
32732What setback?
32732What sort of a job do you want?
32732What sort of things?
32732What the hell''s got you?
32732What time did Pedlar say Mr. Pratt would be round?
32732What will be done with my remains?
32732What''s become of the other one?
32732What''s become of your Mr. Dauncey, then?
32732What''s it figure out at?
32732What''s that?
32732What''s the end of it all going to be?
32732What''s the hurry?
32732What''s the scheme?
32732What, in the bassinet I saw you in yesterday? 32732 When can I inspect the property?"
32732When did Grace ask you to take her out to dinner?
32732When do you want my share of the purchase money?
32732When shall you be here again?
32732When the purchase of the Empress Music Hall is concluded, what do you propose to do with it?
32732When?
32732Where are the spoils?
32732Where are they all?
32732Where are you taking us?
32732Where did you and Captain Penhaven meet?
32732Where is he now?
32732Where were we?
32732Where''s the guv''nor?
32732Who are?
32732Who is the smartly dressed, sunburnt little Johnny who is staring at you so, Miss Bultiwell?
32732Who''s there?
32732Who? 32732 Why bring thunderclouds into my sunny presence?"
32732Why do n''t you come in and give it me, then?
32732Why not? 32732 Why not?
32732Why not?
32732Why on earth should I say anything to you?
32732Why should n''t I make a dive for it?
32732Why should you be an incompetent secretary?
32732Why to Miss Bultiwell?
32732Why wo n''t she have you?
32732Why, what else can you call it?
32732Why?
32732Will some one tell me exactly what''s happened?
32732Will you allow me?
32732Will you be so good as to take in my card? 32732 Will you marry me please, Sybil?"
32732Will you promise, upon your honour, to make no effort whatever to get away before Miss Bultiwell''s return?
32732With my money?
32732Within a few days?
32732Wo n''t you come with me, Miss Haslem?
32732Worse than giving dancing lessons?
32732Would n''t it be more convenient for us to go to an hotel?
32732Would you care-- to dance?
32732Would you like to come into the office and have a little chat?
32732You are beginning to look a little dishevelled, are n''t you? 32732 You are going to have a lesson, are n''t you?"
32732You are in love with Sybil Bultiwell, are n''t you?
32732You are not going to give information to the police about them?
32732You are quite sure?
32732You are referring,Jacob observed coldly,"to the affair of the Glasgow Daisy?"
32732You are tired,he said,--"or is it that you are thinking of some one else?"
32732You are, I believe,Mrs. Bultiwell said,"connected with the Estate?"
32732You bought the Water Company behind our backs and never said a word about it?
32732You do n''t mean to tell me, Mr. Pratt,she began coldly,"that you are coming to live out here yourself?"
32732You do n''t think she knows who I am, then?
32732You do n''t, by any chance, mean Bultiwell''s?
32732You fancy yourself some as a boxer, do n''t you?
32732You find it tiring giving these lessons?
32732You have n''t been ill at all then, Samuel?
32732You have n''t turned up early one day and found Grace in tears with a dressmaker''s bill on her knee, have you?
32732You know Mr. Pratt, do n''t you?
32732You know-- that I admire you more than any one else in the world?
32732You like the homemade article, eh? 32732 You mean about poor Sam?"
32732You mean, I suppose, that you wish me to provide the whole of the capital?
32732You mean, I suppose,Jacob observed,"that he''s had too much to drink?"
32732You really mean that he was useful?
32732You really mean to continue your association with these people? 32732 You refer, I suppose, to marriage or its equivalent?
32732You think because you''re whitewashed by the courts you can count yourself an honest man again, eh? 32732 You think that the dancing class is a blind?"
32732You want me, in short, to join in a sort of alliance against myself?
32732You wo n''t even leave the bottle?
32732You wo n''t give me away, will you?
32732You wo n''t mind?
32732You''ll be giving up your rooms now, I suppose?
32732You''ll be home at the usual time, sir?
32732You''re not talking business yet, then?
32732Your what?
32732A bottle of the old sort, eh, Pratt?"
32732A bungalow down the river for the summer, eh?
32732A cigar, eh?
32732After all, why should he say a single word to mar the pervading impression of good- heartedness and happiness?
32732And was he, he wondered?
32732And you were head over heels in love with Miss Bultiwell, were n''t you?"
32732Any one want to back the Crimson Sashes?"
32732Anything to eat?"
32732Are you coming to Russell Square for your lesson this afternoon?"
32732Are you in a great hurry to start, or would you like to sit and talk for a few minutes?"
32732Are you, by any chance, ever near Kensington Gardens about twelve o''clock?
32732Besides, what''s the use of making a fuss?
32732But I tell you honestly that it absolutely irritates and angers me to be made conscious of your-- shall I call it devotion?
32732But you-- where will life lead you, I wonder?
32732By the bye, Montague, there''s no mistake about that option?"
32732By the bye, were you to have had your share of that five thousand pounds?"
32732By the bye, you know Mr. Pratt, do n''t you?
32732Ca n''t you untwine all those sentimental fancies of yours and find some really nice, human girl with whom to bedeck them?
32732Come into the dining- room, wo n''t you?
32732Could you join us in a little celebration to- night?
32732Dear Mr. Pratt, If you are smitten with the new craze and are thinking of having dancing lessons, will you patronise my little endeavour?
32732Did I ever give you the faintest reason to hope that I should ever, under any circumstances, be willing to marry you?"
32732Did you tell Cook''s man about yourself when you booked for Monte Carlo?"
32732Do you get me, Pratt?"
32732Do you like being a nursery governess?"
32732Felix and Jacob, eh?
32732Fitzpatricks''are blooming?"
32732Has he mentioned some oil wells in Trinidad?"
32732Has n''t Mason suggested your financing his night club?"
32732Haskall?"
32732Have you given my mother any indication whatever of your-- your ridiculous feelings towards me?"
32732He''d drink you under the table before he''d begun to hiccough.... You''re not much of a lad for the fillies, what?"
32732Here alone?"
32732How are you enjoying your millions?"
32732How far is this delectable spot by road?"
32732How high is it from this window?"
32732How much money do you require from me?"
32732Hullo, what''s that?"
32732I saw you at the Milan the other day, did n''t I?
32732I say, when are you going to get me a job?"
32732I shall treat you both alike.--Jacob,"he added, indicating Felixstowe,"who is this remarkably intelligent young man?"
32732I shall wait and pick up my little bit where the grey matter talks, what?"
32732I think a man ought to be able to conceal his feelings, do n''t you, Mr. Pratt?
32732I was told to telephone to you, but I hate a conversation down a tube, do n''t you?"
32732I wonder why it''s so difficult, Mr. Pratt,"she added, raising her eyes artlessly to his,"for some people to make money?"
32732I''ll send him to the vaults, sure as this Pommery is about the best tipple I ever drank.... Are n''t you going to have a flutter yourself?"
32732If I can cast inside the opening there, can you reach it?"
32732If you wo n''t take a partnership, will you buy the business?"
32732In five minutes?...
32732Is it incumbent on the seller to impart to the buyer his superior knowledge?
32732Is n''t that your bill?"
32732It''s a queer thing, is n''t it, the fascination of wealth?"
32732Like to have a look at him?"
32732May I ask you to explain the nature of your business in as few words as possible?"
32732May I have a rest?"
32732May I pay for a few lessons in advance, please,"he asked, producing his pocketbook;"say a dozen?"
32732Me?"
32732Might I suggest a bath and a shave?"
32732Nasty things, these bad debts, eh?
32732Next Thursday night, at eight o''clock?"
32732No complaints?"
32732No one comes in the room, do they?"
32732No?
32732Not such a bad one, either, eh, Mr. Pratt?
32732Now do n''t you think you had better postpone your lesson?"
32732Now what about a little lunch, say at the Milan, before starting?"
32732Now you''ll have a bath and some breakfast, wo n''t you?
32732Pratt, you remember my daughter?"
32732Pratt?"
32732Pratt?"
32732Pratt?"
32732Pratt?"
32732Pratt?"
32732Pratt?"
32732Pratt?"
32732Pratt?"
32732Pratt?"
32732Pratt?"
32732Pratt?"
32732Pratt?"
32732Pratt?"
32732Pratt?"
32732Promise you wo n''t be broken- hearted if I tell you something?"
32732Seen Pedlar this morning?"
32732Shall I tool you down to Ranelagh, old chap?"
32732Shall we try a hesitation?"
32732Should you look an idiot, now, if your fiancà © e were to discover you with another girl?"
32732Surely this involves a certain amount of what a purist would call deceit?"
32732Surely you are not thinking of coming every day?"
32732Tell me about it?"
32732Tell me now, did I ever give you the slightest encouragement?
32732The pick of the world''s fluff on its home soil, eh?"
32732The vision of a dozen pairs of stockings melting into thin air because of your wonderful play would be too harrowing.--What on earth is that?"
32732Was his to be the dream of Tantalus?
32732We''ll share that taxi, eh?"
32732Were you proposing to offer me a share of your wonderful fortune?"
32732What about Miss Bultiwell?"
32732What about a little lunch up in the West End to- day?"
32732What about your brother- in- law, Lord William Thorndyke?"
32732What have you been studying that directory for?"
32732What''s doing up here?"
32732What''s it all about?"
32732What''s that?"
32732What''s that?"
32732What''s the drawback?
32732When do you start?"
32732Where have you been to, these days?"
32732Who?"
32732Why do you go about looking as though you were the most miserable creature on God''s earth?"
32732Why have n''t we locked the old man up and sent for the police?"
32732Why should n''t she?"
32732Will you-- will you lunch with me?"
32732Would it be possible to clinch this matter to- day?"
32732Would you care, for instance, to see over one of our big hospitals?"
32732Would you like me to look you up about dinner time at your hotel?
32732Would you really like me to bring you a mirror and some shaving things?"
32732You follow me, I am sure?"
32732You get me?
32732You noticed them, did n''t you, Mason?
32732You understand?"
32732You want to get on, eh, to know the right sort of people, go to the right sort of places, be seen about with the right sort?
32732You will forgive my shaking hands, wo n''t you?
32732You''ll perhaps stay in your stateroom to- morrow?"
32732You''ll protect me, wo n''t you, Lady Mary?"
32732You''ve something to say to me, have n''t you?"
32732she asked, smiling at him,"what did you think of my ingenuous little letter?"
30868A lifetime that has just ended,--or one still being lived?
30868A natural death, of course?
30868A what?
30868Ai n''t you a friend of his, sir? 30868 Alive or dead?"
30868All right, but I''ll win and you can be best man at the wedding, how''s that?
30868An Eskimo with a nose ring? 30868 And Carlotta Harper?"
30868And Miss Harper, how is she?
30868And after that, into a Light Opera,--and after that, into Grand Opera?
30868And he did n''t show any surprise?
30868And he seems happy?
30868And he told you that Mr. Thorpe was responsible for Mr. Blair''s death?
30868And he''s in a fair way to get it?
30868And if I refuse?
30868And saw red?
30868And then you immediately got into spiritual communication with the dead man?
30868And then?
30868And then?
30868And was it she who got the messages from Peter?
30868And you can deduce character even from a forged hand?
30868And you did? 30868 And you do n''t want me to tell of this?"
30868And you heard nothing through the night?
30868And you stayed in your room,--in your bed,--till morning?
30868And you went on?
30868And you''re going to make a book of it, too, are n''t you?
30868And you''re returning?
30868And your daughter? 30868 Any good plays on?"
30868Are you Peter Crane?
30868Are you a reporter?
30868Are you convinced of it?
30868Are you making game of me?
30868Are you still there, Peter?
30868Are you sure Mr. Thorpe is innocent?
30868Are you sure it''s not a stroke?
30868Are you sure you are?
30868Are you the producer?
30868Are you-- are you of the----"Of the police? 30868 As a spook?"
30868At a_ séance_?
30868Better than Gil Blair?
30868But Peter''s been dead nearly six months, and you were n''t actually engaged, you know----"How do you know that?
30868But are they sure it was poison? 30868 But have you any other suspect?"
30868But some day, Carly-- dear, some day?
30868But the other person at the Board knows them?
30868But where can we look?
30868But who is he? 30868 But why, Blair?
30868But you''d rather be here?
30868But, Carly, there''s no one you care more for than for me, is there?
30868But, are you so anxious to believe in Thorpe''s guilt?
30868But,objected Julie,"then why will it work so much better when Carly has her hands on?"
30868By the medium?
30868Ca n''t you lock yourself in?
30868Ca n''t you see me, Peter?
30868Can I help?
30868Can I help?
30868Can you get in touch with his family?
30868Can you smell any prussic acid in the vial?
30868Clever, was n''t he?
30868Crane, the man who wrote the book about his son''s spirit?
30868Did he send any message to me?
30868Did n''t they tell you who the friend was?
30868Did n''t you think he might merely be asleep?
30868Did you ever know his son, Peter?
30868Did you get anything?
30868Did you see anything?
30868Did you see it?
30868Do about it? 30868 Do n''t you know?"
30868Do n''t you think the guide was greatly to blame?
30868Do you believe it?
30868Do you know who killed him?
30868Do you think it was?
30868Does he take anything for it?
30868Either of your eyes?
30868Engaged?
30868Excuse me, Mr. Crane, if I am indiscreet, but have you never felt that she might be-- not entirely-- honest?
30868Fearing something was wrong?
30868Go on,--and then?
30868Go on? 30868 Go''way off somewhere,--start fresh,--make a new name and fame for myself and forget----""Sacrifice your own identity to your father''s reputation?"
30868Going to say yes before I go, Carly, or after I come back?
30868Great, is n''t it?
30868Had enough?
30868Had n''t you a compass?
30868Have you noticed any fearful dangers, that you apprehend non- survival of them?
30868Have you seen him-- or I mean, is he with you-- in spirit?
30868He might have done so, but could one introduce poison into one of those things? 30868 He was willing you should write an article about him?"
30868His bedroom door was closed?
30868How can a sensible, otherwise well- balanced man like Benjamin Crane fall for that fake?
30868How can you tell? 30868 How could he persuade Blair to take a dose of poison?"
30868How could he?
30868How could she?
30868How could such a thing happen?
30868How could that be, sir?
30868How did Peter look?
30868How did it get down here?
30868How did it happen?
30868How do you explain it, then?
30868How do you know she''d never heard of you?
30868How do you know?
30868How do you know?
30868How''d you know?
30868How''s your work progressing?
30868How?
30868I do l- like you, Peter,--better than any man I know----"Better than Kit Shelby?
30868I do n''t say so, Carly, yet where else is there to look? 30868 If it had n''t stormed, Peter would n''t have been lost, would he?"
30868If it had said Mac did n''t kill Gilbert, would you believe it then?
30868In the snowdrifts?
30868In your sleep?
30868Indeed, I do n''t,said Carlotta, earnestly,"but what''s the use?
30868Is it always like this?
30868Is it of a peculiar shape or style?
30868Is n''t it so, Carly? 30868 Is she engaged to Shelby?"
30868It is n''t anything,Julie persisted,"why do you say that?"
30868It was not locked?
30868Just what did it say?
30868Just what do you mean by that?
30868Kit,she said, suddenly,"are those queer detectives going to find out who killed Gilbert?"
30868Lectures?
30868Lordy, ca n''t I even touch your hand?
30868Married man?
30868May I come to see you again, soon,--and talk over the matters of Peter''s things,--which, of course, we brought home? 30868 May I speak to him?"
30868Me? 30868 Meaning just what?"
30868Meaning she has n''t said a positive yes?
30868Meaning whether the real mediums are real or not?
30868Mind if I doze off?
30868Mr. Blair,--you know,--he''s-- he''s very ill----"Ill, sir? 30868 Mr. Crane says you had an old letter from Joshua,"he began,"let''s see it, will you?"
30868Must I say the name?
30868Must you go?
30868My Lord,cried the puzzled Madame,"who are you?
30868My boy,said Crane, eagerly,"do you know who killed Blair?"
30868N- no,--not wrong,-- I think I just wanted him to say something----"Why were you so anxious he should say something?
30868Never mind seeing me, Peter, but do tell me this: What happened to you?
30868No, I do n''t think it''s conscious fraud, but----"But you do n''t know what it is, do you?
30868No; are they engaged?
30868No; what is it?
30868Now that Blair''s out of the running?
30868Now, how do you explain it, Zizi? 30868 Now, merely as an admission of facts, do you believe that the Ouija Board gave the messages exactly as I have detailed the proceedings to you?"
30868Now, wait,she began;"would n''t your father,--your mother,--rather have you back with them in the flesh,--than to have their pride spared?"
30868Of course, we pay Madame Parlato for her time-- why should we not? 30868 Oh, is there a real row on?"
30868Oh, it''s gone as far as that, has it?
30868Oh, just a school- girl squabble, is it?
30868Oh, you are going to do another, are n''t you?
30868Oho, you believe in it fast enough when you want to use it?
30868Over the sketches for the prizes?
30868Perhaps; but it does n''t interest me at present You see, this trip is not the fatal one----"How do you know?
30868Peter, have you a message for us?
30868Proof of what? 30868 Queer, is n''t it?"
30868Shall we go on?
30868Such as what?
30868Such as what?
30868Suppose anything happened to shake Mr. Crane''s faith?
30868Tell you-- tell you-- what?
30868That leads back to Thorpe, who else could do that?
30868That''s all right, but why did Thorpe run away?
30868The night he-- he died?
30868Then how can you have any doubt of it?
30868Then what about Peter''s message?
30868Then what happened?
30868Then why were you there?
30868Then you do not really grieve over his loss?
30868Then, can you refuse to believe that the message came from the spirit of my dead boy? 30868 Then,"said Julie,"none of the help we get from Ouija means anything at all?"
30868They told you that?
30868Think she''ll help you?
30868Thought he''d get a prize, did he?
30868Through a Ouija Board?
30868Trouble? 30868 Understand it?"
30868W- what-- who?
30868Was he-- was he in bed?
30868Well, do something,Thorpe said;"what''s the thing to do?
30868Well, granting that some one administered poison to Blair, secretly, might n''t he have put it in anything that Blair was about to eat or drink?
30868Well, then,Zizi said, her thin, dark fingers merely touching the little wooden heart,"who did?"
30868Well, what are you going to do, my child?
30868Well, where did she get the handkerchief?
30868Well, who? 30868 Well,--who should be notified?
30868Well-- then can you give us a message from him?
30868Were n''t you beginning to care for Blair?
30868What about?
30868What are you doing here at this time in the morning, McClellan?
30868What can I do?
30868What caused it?
30868What did he say?
30868What did you say?
30868What do you mean by that?
30868What do you think about the pouch, Shelby? 30868 What do you think most about, when you think of home?"
30868What do you want?
30868What does Julie think about the messages?
30868What does that mean?
30868What happened? 30868 What has she done?
30868What is it, Carly? 30868 What is it?"
30868What is_ your_ calling?
30868What killed you? 30868 What plot?''
30868What sort of an obstacle?
30868What sort of recommendations does she offer?
30868What sort of things?
30868What was it, now?
30868What was the letter about, the other Joshua letter?
30868What were they? 30868 What''s her name?"
30868What''s the heroine like?
30868What''s the trouble between you two girls?
30868What-- what do you mean by that?
30868What?
30868What?
30868Whatever_ do_ you mean?
30868When was this?
30868When will it be put on?
30868When?
30868When?
30868Where did the note come from?
30868Where did you get them?
30868Where had he heard of you?
30868Where they''re making the Labrador pictures?
30868Where was it?
30868Where was the paint- box?
30868Where''s Joshua?
30868Where''s my boy? 30868 Where''s the glass, then?"
30868Where, indeed?
30868Where?
30868Which Club? 30868 Who are you?"
30868Who ca n''t do that?
30868Who could have killed Gilbert?
30868Who did kill Gilbert?
30868Who even hinted that you killed Mr. Blair? 30868 Who is that medium person?
30868Who prophesied what? 30868 Who was it?"
30868Who would do it, anyway?
30868Who''d do that?
30868Who''s the man?
30868Who''s this Shelby?
30868Why do you?
30868Why not?
30868Why not?
30868Why not?
30868Why should I disapprove?
30868Why should I not? 30868 Why should he?
30868Why should my account be other than straightforward?
30868Why was he last?
30868Why''d he run away?
30868Why, yes,--haven''t you heard? 30868 Why, you little rascal, what do_ you_ know about mediums?"
30868Will he talk to us?
30868Will you promise not to push?
30868Will you spell out your name?
30868Will you talk to us?
30868Will you tell us who killed you?
30868Will you?
30868With indigestion? 30868 With the same medium always?"
30868Without further explanation?
30868Yes, and find the real criminal,but Thorpe''s face was less bright,"then, sir, will you give us your blessing?"
30868Yes, did n''t you know that?
30868Yes, is n''t it?
30868Yes, the snow was so cold--"But why could n''t you get up? 30868 Yes,"Blair agreed,"to a certain point----""Freezing point?"
30868Yes,Kit replied, with frank pride;"it did turn out well, did n''t it?"
30868Yes,the older man went on;"I think I will tell you, though I had half decided not to: What do you say, Mother?"
30868Yet you have confidence in Mr. Crane''s sincerity?
30868Yet, why stay?
30868You and he chums?
30868You are a bit skeptical?
30868You believe in the mediums, then?
30868You did n''t push, Kit?
30868You did n''t think he was only asleep----"No,--the pallor was unmistakable----"Have you often looked upon death?
30868You do believe in these things, do n''t you?
30868You had been trudging like that long?
30868You have frequent communication with the spirit of your departed son?
30868You have had material proofs?
30868You knew that at once?
30868You know whom I suspect?
30868You know, Carly,he said,"it''s not really a message from a spirit you get, it''s----""It''s what, Gilbert?"
30868You must see, McClellan, that your saying that puts a bad face on the whole affair?
30868You think Crane,--er-- misstated?
30868You think it is n''t from my brother?
30868You want a_ séance_?
30868You wo n''t believe it''s from Peter, because you do n''t want to believe what it says,--isn''t that it?
30868You''ll promise that, boys, wo n''t you?
30868You''re all interested, are you not?
30868You''re responsible in cases of emergency----"Me responsible, sir? 30868 You''ve read the case?"
30868Your own, for choice?
30868*****"This is Miss----?"
30868Am I right about this, Penny Wise?"
30868And Carly?
30868And he adored Gilbert----""You do n''t think he killed Gilbert, then?"
30868And his father?
30868And how appear to you, out of nothingness?"
30868And if not, what was he, and what was he doing at the medium''s house?
30868And then, turning to Carlotta, Peter said,"And you thought I''d never come back?"
30868And they all think the poison was given to him through some simple trick, so why not this?"
30868And what can I do to turn an honest penny?
30868And who are you, anyway?"
30868And who was at the bottom of all this?
30868And why am I favored with this angel visit?"
30868And, suppose I tell you that Mr. Harrison does not want his address known?"
30868And, will you believe it?
30868And-- Carly,--what do you think?
30868Are not you a little presumptuous to set your opinion against theirs?"
30868Are you a burglar?"
30868Are you going on with your work for the competition?"
30868Are you responsible for Julie''s affairs?"
30868Are you sure?"
30868As he went toward the door with Shelby he said suddenly,"I say, Kit, will you drop Carlotta Harper?"
30868Ask him what name we used to call him by?''
30868At last, Carly said,"Peter, was Gilbert killed?"
30868At what time did you rise?"
30868Blair did take my ideas----""Consciously?"
30868But he might have known,--he, himself, supposed dead, Blair dead, what more natural than that Carly should turn to old Kit?
30868But how can I be sure?"
30868But say, have you seen the big movie?"
30868But what could he say?
30868But what will you do?"
30868But when the message was asked for,--when Shelby said,"Will he tell us how he died?"
30868But where does it get us?"
30868But, come, now, you do n''t believe a spook killed Mr. Blair, do you, sir?"
30868But, do you believe in this''Gypsy''s Warning''about Peter?
30868But, look here, Julie, if it is any comfort to your parents to think they have messages from Peter, you would n''t disturb their belief, would you?"
30868But, tell me, what can I do?
30868But, why am I obliged to tell?"
30868But,--do you never think there may be a grain of truth in it all?"
30868CHAPTER XV An Interview"Well, Mr. Douglas, what can I do for you?"
30868Ca n''t you get somebody to-- to settle up his estate?"
30868Ca n''t you show a little heart?"
30868Can it be managed?"
30868Can you and he work in harmony?"
30868Can your ingenuity suggest no explanation of a man''s presence in another man''s house at midnight save a burglarious motive?
30868Carly, dear, ca n''t you learn to love me?
30868Carly, dearest, why ca n''t you say yes, now?
30868Carly, who was no novice, said in a sing- song way:"Is there a spirit present?"
30868Coming along, Thorpe?"
30868Could he be caught in a trap?"
30868Could he tell Carly first?
30868Could you see them?"
30868Crane?"
30868Crane?"
30868Crane?"
30868Crane?"
30868Did he know he was going to die?"
30868Did you fall down?"
30868Did you get any further details?"
30868Did you hear no disturbance?"
30868Did you?"
30868Do n''t you admit any superior?
30868Do you believe it, Mr. Harrison?
30868Do you believe that the spirit of Mr. Crane''s dead son talks to him through a medium?"
30868Do you mean push it, to spell what I want it to?"
30868Do you mean that maybe we can go now, after all?
30868Do you recognize that description?''
30868Do you see it as I do?
30868Do you suppose a chemist could discern any?"
30868Do you think McClellan Thorpe is the guilty man?"
30868Do you, Shelby?"
30868Does she, too, subscribe to all your theories?"
30868First, will you tell me your attitude, mental and spiritual, regarding the loss of your son?
30868For if they knew him to be alive he must take again his old place in the home-- and then what would his father be?
30868Get a doctor?"
30868Gilbert, what do you think of that medium the Cranes go to all the time?"
30868Had you had your breakfast?"
30868Has he missed the track?
30868Have n''t you read my book?"
30868Have you any idea how my book has been received?
30868Have you any suspect other than Thorpe?"
30868Have you had any further communications from Peter?"
30868Have you told Kit Shelby?"
30868He concluded to do so, and whispered,"How does it all strike you?"
30868He could maintain a half- sitting posture,--but what use?
30868He has done so, he is doing so-- why should we grieve?
30868He must learn more facts-- the facts he had already discovered were so amazing, what else might not be in store for him?
30868He said he retained all his ambition and energy and hope-- you know he was blessed abundantly with those traits-- and----""Did he say he was happy?"
30868He was irritating, somehow,--said he heard Blair and I had combined on our work----""Why was that annoying?"
30868He was----""Well?"
30868Hiding behind the window curtain?"
30868His luggage had never been sent home, therefore how did the handkerchief get to New York, and more especially how did it get to Madame Parlato?
30868How about that?"
30868How could any one know of it?"
30868How could communications from a dead man be received when the man was not dead?
30868How could the man take it so calmly?
30868How did he get in?"
30868How did it get back here?
30868How did you come to give these_ séances_ to the Cranes?"
30868How do we get in, anyway?"
30868How get into Madame Parlato''s possession?
30868How long do you suppose he has been gone?
30868How was it?
30868How would you like that?"
30868How-- how much did they tell you?"
30868I do n''t suppose you think yourself the cleverest in the world, do you?
30868I got things all wrong, did n''t I?
30868I like him pretty well, but----""But what?"
30868I mean, what are the circumstances?"
30868I own up to being skeptical, is it too much to ask for some proof of your identity, Peter Crane?
30868I say, Blair, how did the lingo tally with the facts of Peter''s death?
30868I say, how_ do_ you explain it?
30868I suppose he would n''t want to go to Labrador until that matter is settled?"
30868I suppose there''s no chance for letters?"
30868I want you to hear the plot soon,--and would you like to go to the studios?"
30868I''d rather not tell the name,--it was a lady----""A medium?"
30868I''ll help Julie,--why, Thorpe would n''t kill Gilbert, why should he?"
30868I''ve no confession to make,-- I-- I did n''t kill Blair----""Why do you say that?"
30868I''ve not much belief in that sort of thing,--but,--well, you know about occult matters, might it not be possible?"
30868If you had seen, as I did, how much at odds the two chaps were that evening I dropped in----""The night of the dinner?"
30868In a cell?"
30868Instinctively he yearned to bring back the smile and he said, promptly,"Can I help you?
30868Is Kit there?"
30868Is n''t it to be all about the storms and other indigenous delights of Labrador?"
30868Is that why you come to me?"
30868It would not have been impossible for some one to get into his room in the night----""And give him poison?
30868It''s not known whether he took the poison himself or whether----""But how?
30868Let me tell you of my hopes and fears, may n''t I?"
30868Mad?"
30868Many messages were of slight importance, and then came a sudden,"I say, Shelby, why do n''t you marry Carly?"
30868Materialization was easy enough for a charlatan, but, as had been said, where could she get the handkerchief to do the trick with?
30868May I?"
30868Maybe acute indigestion, is he troubled that way?"
30868Need you?"
30868No one has been so much as thought of----""That doorman?"
30868Nor did that question trouble her so much as the consideration of what she should do next?
30868Now how''d they get that?
30868Now, are we engaged?"
30868Now, let''s begin with that note your daughter received from-- ah, shall I say from your son?"
30868Now, of course, Mr. Thorpe knew Mr. Blair was dead, but he said he was ill. Why did he do that?"
30868Now, what are we going to do about it?"
30868Of continuity of existence?"
30868Oh, Helen, is n''t it wonderful?
30868Oh, can I?"
30868Oh,--wait a minute,--let me take it in,--let me think what it will mean----""To father?
30868On account of your father?"
30868Or would you rather not talk about it?"
30868Peter Boots, will you talk with us?"
30868Pretty queer thing about that tobacco pouch of Peter''s, do n''t you think?"
30868Rather baffling, is n''t it?"
30868Really?"
30868See here, Shelby, are you sure that man Joshua wrote the letter you got?"
30868See you to- night at the dinner?"
30868Send for him at once, will you?
30868Shall I telephone him?"
30868Shall I tell her, Peter?"
30868Shall I tell?"
30868Shelby is n''t in my way, is he?"
30868Shelby?"
30868Should he go away, out West, or to some distant place and start life anew, under an assumed name, and leave his father to his delusion?
30868So Shelby said,"Peter, you know Blair''s gone?"
30868Somers, asked,"a stroke?"
30868Still, I ca n''t believe----""Shall you go to the next_ séance_?"
30868Suddenly she opened her eyes:"Who is talking?"
30868Suddenly the medium sat up straight, came out of her trance, and putting on the lights, said, eagerly,"Did you get any message?"
30868That he was a client, she did not believe, for had she not seen him, rummaging in the Crane library and in that table drawer?
30868The shock of finding Gilbert dead----""Oh, Mr. Thorpe, did you make the discovery?"
30868Then I take it we''re engaged?"
30868Then, they debated, should they go home, or wait till spring?
30868Then, what do you suggest?"
30868Then,"Why, boys,"she cried,"when did you come home?
30868Thorpe''s?"
30868Thorpe?"
30868Thorpe?"
30868Thorpe?"
30868Thorpe?"
30868Those relatives?
30868Want me to appear to you, too?"
30868Want to quit?"
30868Was that his duty?
30868Was there, Carly?"
30868We can plan it and make up names and things----""Why ca n''t you really write it?"
30868We had our interview in Mr. Crane''s study, or library----""I know, the small room at the back of the house----""Been there?"
30868We''re all friends of Peter here, why not discuss the thing freely and frankly?"
30868We''re all your friends, and we only want you----""Good heavens, Mr. Crane, why do you take that conciliatory attitude?
30868We''re going home, are n''t we?
30868We''ve been a pretty good sort, have n''t we?
30868Well, then, what did his duty to his parents dictate?
30868Were materialized spirits really inhabiting the place?
30868What are you expecting to accomplish?"
30868What can I do?"
30868What do you mean?"
30868What do you mean?"
30868What do you mean?"
30868What do you want it for?"
30868What happened to you?
30868What happened, Joshua?"
30868What has Carly done to merit those terms?"
30868What is it, dear?"
30868What made you say that?"
30868What makes you ask that?"
30868What more can I say?"
30868What more is there to know?"
30868What say, Thorpe?"
30868What shall I ask him?''
30868What sort of talk is that?
30868What was it?
30868What was she doing in his father''s house?
30868What was the explanation?
30868What would he do that for?"
30868What''ll either of you boys do if the other gets the prize?"
30868What''s he up to?"
30868What''s the answer, except that Thorpe washed it and put it away?
30868What''s the matter?"
30868What_ could_ be the explanation?
30868When I hear my son''s voice----""Do you recognize his voice?"
30868When can you get Wise back here?
30868When did he die?"
30868When do you expect Mr. Crane again?"
30868When was this?"
30868Where are his people?"
30868Where are they?
30868Where have you been?"
30868Where in the world could that fool medium have got hold of that?
30868Where is he?"
30868Where would he stay?"
30868Where''d be the fun if we cheated?
30868Where''d she get the dope to fool the old folks?
30868Where''d she get the goods?"
30868Where''s Peter?"
30868Who are his friends?"
30868Who did it, Mac?"
30868Who did?"
30868Who else had any motive at all?"
30868Who else knew of his death?
30868Who had a motive?"
30868Who or what was this sprite, this Brownie?
30868Who rescued you?
30868Who said so?"
30868Who was this strange girl who had come flying in with an incredible tale about the new client being an accomplice of her own?
30868Who, sir?"
30868Why are you a burglar?"
30868Why are you keeping it secret?
30868Why croak at us?"
30868Why disturb that happiness, for my selfish reasons?
30868Why do you think anybody killed him?"
30868Why do you think that man is my accomplice?
30868Why is it that big- brained, well- balanced men fall for this rot?"
30868Why not leave them to their Fools''Paradise,--for that''s what it is,--and not take the chance of what might easily be a distressing disillusion?"
30868Why not lie down flat and get it over quickly?
30868Why should Carly do such a thing?"
30868Why should I, among Peter''s friends?
30868Why should anybody want to fake a letter like that?"
30868Why should he?
30868Why should she do that, if she had assisted at the Crane_ séances_?
30868Why, Zizi?"
30868Why, who is there to take charge of Gilbert''s things,--his estate?"
30868Will you give me a session with the board?"
30868Will you take charge?"
30868Will you, can you give some material proof?"
30868Will you?"
30868Wise do without you?"
30868Wise, and he''ll soon get you out of-- out of-- oh, Mac, will they put you in prison?
30868Wonder how it all came about?"
30868Yes, I''ll tell you everything, but what shall I fly at first?
30868You are writing another book, are you not?"
30868You can not think my wife or I would misstate what happened, can you?
30868You did n''t come to read the meter or repair the plumbing?
30868You do know, do n''t you, Peter?"
30868You just have to----""Well, to what?"
30868You know Gilbert always called him Mac,--now what do you think of Ouija?"
30868You know how I hate to use paper that does n''t match----""At it again?"
30868You opened the door?"
30868You promise to say it_ then_?"
30868You promise, too?"
30868You see, Blair was in the habit of taking these things----""How do you know?"
30868You were not intending a social call, were you?
30868You were not seeking a lodging for the night?"
30868You''re just making believe,--you''re what do you call it?
30868You''ve read my book?"
30868and when?"
30868asked an interested voice,"letters?"
30868chaffed Carlotta;"sha n''t you mind it if the blizzard blows down your tent and the dogs run away with your dinner and your feets give out?"
30868cried Julie, excitedly,"oh, father, is it?"
30868cried Julie,"what_ do_ you mean?"
30868did it?
30868eagerly asked Benjamin Crane,"will you speak yourself, Peter?"
30868how goes it?"
30868returned Shelby;"why damp our enthusiasm like that?"
30868said Weston,"for what?"
30868she asked, tremulously;"what do you intend to do?"
30868she cried,"and why should any one do so?"
30868she exclaimed,"will you impart this knowledge to me, or is it a secret?"
30868she said;"what can it mean?"
30868what_ am_ I going to do first?"
30868who, Peter?"
34611''And where was ye last night, might I axe?'' 34611 ''Can you drink whisky?''
34611''Manson,''she said, addressing my father,''is this woman your wife?''
34611''Mother of Pathrick,''said he,''an''did ye come down all the way in your yacht and not know Timber Island when you''d see it?'' 34611 ''Tell me, now,''he said, after I had got all the information I wanted,''have ye a berth for an old salty aboard that craft?''
34611A lubber''s mistake,quoth he; and then, after a little,"I wonder what it''s like outside?"
34611A penny for your thoughts?
34611After all, was it not possible to continue in the upper air?
34611Ai n''t he a brick?
34611And do you admire her very much?
34611And does she dance well?
34611And how are you?
34611And how do you propose to end it?
34611And how have you been since I saw you last?
34611And how will you account for your absence from home?
34611And it would have been possible for you, when you went to the side door, to have handed the money to some one there ready to receive it?
34611And now that you must have got about as far as you can at present, how does the theory affect you?
34611And shall we rig this spinnaker boom on her?
34611And what about the tutor that told the stories about you?
34611And what belief did you come to care about?
34611And what brought you into town to- day?
34611And what else did you find upon him?
34611And what?
34611Are you aware that you have been made a victim of in a matter where the Victoria Bank was robbed of fifty thousand dollars?
34611Are you aware that you were tried this morning for stealing that money?
34611Are you ready? 34611 Are you sure of it?"
34611Bad news, I suppose?
34611But as to your religion?
34611But do n''t you think he looks as if he wished to find his next partner? 34611 But, my dear Jack, have we not been enjoying a fine view of the lake all day?
34611But, my dear fellow, wo n''t she object?
34611But,she said,"people who are most imperfect surely may have great happiness in their faith?"
34611Can you really defeat him? 34611 Come at last, have you?"
34611Could it cross the lake?
34611Could it have crossed the lake yesterday?
34611Could not Mr. Bean do the same every day? 34611 Credit?
34611Did any person tell you to go in this way, instead of by steamer or railway?
34611Did any person tell you to take your valises to the yacht club early on Wednesday morning?
34611Did you ever see that waistcoat before?
34611Did you ever see that waistcoat before?
34611Did you examine the well?
34611Did you get this other waistcoat at the same time?
34611Did you issue a marriage license on, let me see, two weeks ago to- morrow-- on the 23d?
34611Did you never see this old man before?
34611Did you sound it?
34611Do n''t you intend to make any defense or have any assistance? 34611 Do n''t you think it is pleasanter in here?"
34611Do n''t you think, Geoffrey, that that would be a good thing to do? 34611 Do you find it so hard to be happy?"
34611Do you find that it makes any difference?
34611Do you mean the Gull Light?
34611Does anybody know where Mr. Cresswell is?
34611Does n''t it make me look hideous?
34611Does this package look anything like the one you then saw?
34611Does''anybody''include me?
34611During your trial this morning I think I heard you say that the bills you saw on Hampstead''s desk were all dark- green colored?
34611Gor any washstands on board?
34611Got a partnership?
34611Got any more toasts like this?
34611Had he been speculating at all?
34611Had the client any money?
34611Had we not better wait, then, for the week to expire?
34611Has not Jack given any notice of his intention to leave the bank?
34611Have you any of it to spare?
34611How are the partitions between the stalls or boxes of the different clerks in the Victoria Bank constructed?
34611How are things in the bank?
34611How did you make so much money to- day, father?
34611How did you manage to find out all about the surroundings?
34611How do I know? 34611 How long after Mr. Cresswell went out did you notice that the money was gone?"
34611How long do you suppose?
34611How much will you have?
34611How much would you give, Miss Mackintosh?
34611How much?
34611How should a man be, who is on the high road to fortune?
34611How''s the well?
34611How- de- do, Miss Lindon?
34611I can run fast, can I not?
34611I hope you will not think me inquisitive?
34611Is it?
34611Is not this outer side door sometimes left open in hot weather?
34611Is she dead, then?
34611Is that all the objection?
34611Is that all?
34611Is that the costume you go cruising in?
34611Is your cigar the olive- branch? 34611 Jack?"
34611Long introductions are so tiresome, are they not?
34611May I ask if you at any time during the morning left your stall?
34611Money? 34611 My deah fellah,"he said,"where did you get that dreadful waistcoat?"
34611My dear skipper, how can you ever get a dinner cooked in such a sea as this? 34611 Not get married, Maurice?
34611Not piracy, is it?
34611Not the giddy delight of walking on King Street, I hope?
34611Now what was their unhappy condition? 34611 Now, why were you so generous with Mr. Hampstead''s clothes, and why should he consent to give them to the boy?"
34611Now, will you be so good as to say candidly what gain you or any one else ever received from thinking in such channels as these?
34611Object? 34611 Object?
34611Oh, how can you go on sleeping at such a time? 34611 Oh, why do you make me do everything that is wrong?
34611Oh,he said, as he rolled over on his back with his head resting in his hands,"was n''t that beautiful?"
34611Only_ pro tem._, though?
34611Or it would have been easy for any of the other bank officials to have taken the money?
34611Perhaps you have his record written down somewhere?
34611Say, dearest,he cooed into his ear,"at about what hour will this heavenly- repast be ready?"
34611So you are Jonathan''s David, are you?
34611So you have come back to Toronto at last?
34611Spinnaker on who? 34611 Surely, Charley, you have not been gambling on Sunday?"
34611That was the night of the day the fifty thousand dollars was stolen from the bank?
34611The Gull?
34611Then you make evolution a part of your religion?
34611Then, if the door of your box was closed you could not see who came in or out of Mr. Cresswell''s stall?
34611They certainly seem very devoted, do they not?
34611They would be kind words in their tone, full of sympathy, words that I love to hear-- that I hear like music in my ears when you are out of sight? 34611 This package of money, as it lay, could have been seen from the public hall- way of the bank through your front wicket, could it not?"
34611To- morrow?
34611Was the lost money in the place you say at that time?
34611Washstands? 34611 Well, I find it a little warm here, do n''t you?
34611Well, Mrs. Dusenall,said Mr. Cowper thoughtfully,"I have myself, over there in the bay, a small smoke- grinder that--""A-- what?"
34611Well, gentlemen, am I to proceed or not? 34611 Well, now, you wo n''t forget your promise, old lady, will you?"
34611Well, what do you say, mother?
34611Well, what ought I to say?
34611Well, what size was the skiff he went off in?
34611Well, where was I? 34611 Well, who the deuce cares for a mains''l?"
34611Well-- will you all love me?
34611Well?
34611Wha''for?
34611Wha''s matter?
34611What about it?
34611What about the husband?
34611What are you doing there with my clothes?
34611What are you thinking of, Margaret?
34611What are you trying to get at now?
34611What did you do with it then?
34611What did you say then, Jack? 34611 What do you mean by going off this way with the ship''s boats?"
34611What do you say, Margaret?
34611What for?
34611What has that to do with it?
34611What is a spinnaker boom? 34611 What is a wise man?
34611What is that, dear Geoffrey? 34611 What is there more to say?"
34611What made you go off in that way?
34611What news?
34611What sort of a time did you have? 34611 What street is this?"
34611What''s a poor kind of a joke? 34611 What''s the matter with you?"
34611What''s the odds as long as you''re happy and the''rosy''is close at hand?
34611What, then, becomes of the search for the unattainable after marriage?
34611What? 34611 When did you see it last?"
34611Where are you?
34611Where did you leave the bills?
34611Where were you on Wednesday night last, about one or two o''clock in the evening?
34611Where''s Jack?
34611Who is out there with you?
34611Who is that you are bowing to?
34611Who''s touching your lee- backstay?
34611Why did you do that?
34611Why do you give yourself so much trouble?
34611Why have you and Jack not gone yet to California?
34611Why not?
34611Why, where are we?
34611Why?
34611Wo n''t she take the peak again? 34611 You are not going to tell me that?"
34611You do not pretend to identify these bills yourself?
34611You evidently did everything he told you?
34611You have something to tell me?
34611You make Buffalo the scene of your official duties?
34611You mean to be tried now?
34611You say that none of the yachts left the harbor yesterday?
34611You wished to go away secretly?
34611''Can you tell me,''I asked,''the name of that round island over there?''
34611''So you have been here before?''
34611... Should I go to church, And see the holy edifice of stone, And not bethink me straight of dangerous rocks?
34611A coincidence, is it not?"
34611A gift?
34611A man leaning over from the upper deck of the steamer cried:"What schooner is that?"
34611About a quarter- past eleven o''clock Jack put his head to Geoffrey''s wicket and they whispered together: Jack said,"Time for me to be off?"
34611After he had briefly described his return to Toronto with his prisoner, the crown attorney asked him:"Did you find any articles upon his person?"
34611After he was sworn, Rankin asked him:"You went away last Wednesday on a schooner called the North Star?"
34611An''he looks at it awful hard and sez,''Where did yer get it?
34611And now I say, will you stand by me?"
34611And so you are engaged?"
34611And who do you think she was?"
34611And who would inquire the reasons for this favoritism?
34611And why should she have to mask her face and hide it from the public?
34611Anything gone wrong?
34611Are those your bills?"
34611Are we to understand, then, that you object to novel reading on moral grounds?"
34611Been here before?
34611But how have you arranged everything?
34611But perhaps we can manage a few more, Miss Lindon?"
34611But was the happiness of Margaret''s life to be cast aside?
34611But what did the detective care for his condition?
34611But what had friend Maurice meant by saddling the context on him in that malevolent way?
34611But what was she to do?
34611But where will these beautiful possibilities be if her sin is found out?
34611But, about your father?
34611By the way, Geoffrey, if it is not an impertinent question for your future wife to ask, who_ was_ your grandfather?"
34611By the way, how are you carrying your money?"
34611Ca n''t you let her name alone?
34611Charley answered that the race came off on the day after to- morrow, and, as they had to get to Toronto somehow, why not behind the steamer?
34611Charley, who was steering, asked of one of the English hands, who was carefully crawling aft to take the wheel,"How''s everything forward?"
34611Congratulation or balm for wounds?"
34611Could he really have thought that Belial''s character was also Geoffrey''s?
34611Could you favor us with the lines just preceding what you first quoted?"
34611Could you not learn the manly art of kicking, as well?"
34611Cresswell?"
34611Cresswell?"
34611D''you think I do n''t know?
34611D''you think I have n''t been through the whole gamut-- from Alpha to Omaha-- with all the hemidemisemiquavers thrown in?
34611Deduct the fun from their books and the shadowy plot, and what remains?
34611Did Mr. Hampstead object?"
34611Did either of us ever try by word or deed to improve the other?
34611Did n''t you take it out of me own hands not two hours ago?
34611Did not the ruder people receive the simple laws which Moses learned in Egypt?
34611Did she not risk her good name for him?
34611Do me credit?
34611Do n''t I always do you credit?"
34611Do n''t you see that I want to give you a chance?
34611Do n''t you see?
34611Do n''t you think so?
34611Do n''t you understand?"
34611Do they intend that, after all, I shall die an old maid?
34611Do you assist him in his studies?"
34611Do you expect us to be dumb?"
34611Do you imagine that you will always be content with small pleasures?"
34611Do you know Buffalo at all?"
34611Do you like to be here, Nina?"
34611Do you like to be here-- with me, Nina?"
34611Do you not think so, Hampstead?"
34611Do you see it?"
34611Do you suppose I keep an inventory of prices to assist me in conversation?"
34611Do you think I will allow her to step in and be blamed for what it was your whim to go in for-- risks and all?"
34611Does it not seem a sweet and fitting overture to the whole oratorio of the voyage before them?
34611Does not my ruin give me a right to speak?
34611Filched, perchance, from the pursy coal- bins of monopoly?"
34611For whom bindest thou In wreaths thy golden hair, Plain in its neatness?
34611Geoffrey persisted, more gravely, in a reproachful tone;"You do n''t mean to say, Jack, that you doubt that what a clergyman says is true?"
34611Geoffrey said to her:"Those rugs and cushions in the canoe look very inviting, do they not?"
34611Go at once--""But Nina, darling what_ is_ the matter?"
34611Going far?"
34611Got back?"
34611Has Her Majesty gone back on you again?"
34611Has Mr. Cresswell won the prize?"
34611Have I the floor, or not?"
34611Have n''t you got some lions''dens that want looking after?"
34611Have you a pole?
34611Have you ever called upon the Lindons?"
34611Have you got it there?''
34611Have you not got a lady- love, Morry, to bring along?
34611He added:"Let me see-- a?
34611He banged about some drawers, as if he were looking for something, and then called out:"Jack?"
34611He declared Lemons would not wash himself, and he asked what should be done with him?
34611He looked at the card amused, and as he scratched a long mark across all five, he drawled,"May I have the pleasure of-- some dances?"
34611He said:"Can not a fellow do a decent thing once in a way without hearing from you?"
34611He was saying to himself:"Why not sneak in under a jib?
34611He went to him and said simply, for it was so difficult to make him understand:"Do you want to be tried now or afterward?"
34611Here they rested, while Margaret, lost in the charm of the surroundings, exclaimed:"Could anything be more delightful than this?"
34611How am I?
34611How are you?"
34611How can I tell the feelings in a young lady''s mind; the thoughts in a young gentleman''s bosom?
34611How could they any longer strive to reach the longed- for haven when the mainsail of the yawl was blown away?"
34611How dare you, you bad boy?
34611How much did it put the old man back?"
34611How much did it spoil the old man?"
34611I do n''t want to interrupt you, but what do you think makes them look like that?"
34611I suppose money is an element in a congregation which gentlemen of your calling do not object to?"
34611I thought the Dallases lived in Rochester?"
34611If I thought you did I--""Was I saying unkind things?"
34611If he failed, what then?
34611If not there, where was he?
34611If not too much trouble, would you call here at five o''clock?
34611If one could live to be two hundred years old, would it not be delightful?"
34611In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt, But, being seasoned with a gracious voice, Obscures the show of evil?
34611In religion, What dammà © d error, but some sober brow Will bless it, and approve it with a text, Hiding the grossness with fair ornament?
34611In the course of their walk Geoffrey asked, for want of something better to say:"How goes the law, Rankin?
34611Is it impossible for anybody to beat the enemy?"
34611Is it not enough for you to raise the devil in me, without scheming to give her trouble?
34611Is it not enough that those most competent to decide have decided?
34611Is it not true that we acquire knowledge as we are able to receive it?
34611Is it true, Nina, that you will take me at last?"
34611Is not the sea Made for the free, Land for courts and chains alone?
34611Is that all the money you can spend?
34611Is this the paper you found?"
34611It does not look well; now, does it?"
34611Jack looked a little brighter here, and said weakly:"Certainly-- why not?"
34611Just so, what about him?"
34611Ladies and gentlemen, have you charged your glasses?"
34611Margaret said tearfully,"Oh, what can I do?"
34611Margaret sat down again, her face lighted with excitement, and said all in a breath:"Was not that splendid?
34611Mr. Cowper said,"How do you do, ladies and gentlemen?"
34611No doubt it would, but was it safe to let the steamer leave them?
34611No matter how she treated Jack, was she not honest with Geoffrey?
34611No?
34611Now, how much would you like this morning?
34611Now, how much, my dear, will this little visit cost me, I wonder?
34611Now, what do you say?"
34611Oh, how oft shall he On faith, and changed gods, complain, To whom thou untried seemest fair?
34611Oh, why are you so masterful?"
34611Old people well?"
34611Once or twice, seeing him turn toward her so attentively, she turned also and said,"Do n''t you think so?"
34611One of them at last said:"Is every man here a Union man?"
34611Or even under bare poles?
34611Or, if the harbor was intricate, why not heave to under the mizzen and signal for a tug?"
34611Ought they to cut the towline, get up a bit of a sail, and endeavor to make the north shore of the lake?
34611Ought they to cut the towline, throw out the inside ballast, and cut away the mast to ease the straining at the seams?
34611Perhaps you know this gentleman quite well-- and are laughing at my stupidity?"
34611Pickings?
34611Politics and religion excluded, of course, as in any other club?"
34611Presently Charley, thoughtfully:"Say, Jack, what was the matter with that boat, any way?"
34611Presently he said, in resonant tones, deep and musical:"Do you like to be here, Nina?"
34611Priest, did you ever see that waistcoat before?"
34611Rankin put aside Byles on Bills and arose with dignity:"What say you, henchman?
34611Rankin?"
34611Rankin?"
34611Rankin?"
34611Seizing me by the hair?"
34611Shall all his aspirations toward nature go for nothing?
34611She merely said, therefore, intending to drop the matter gently:"How very old the senior Mr. Hampstead must be?"
34611She seemed to divine what was in his mind, for she made him feel more at ease by a gentler tone:"Alone?
34611She then pretended to know nothing about the engagement, and said, with cat- like sweetness:"I thought you did not care for Margaret''s dancing much?
34611She took the reins in a half- dazed way and asked vaguely:"What will I do with the horse when I get to the town?"
34611So Mr. Hampstead was entertaining his friends that night?"
34611So we all went in a body, as a kind o''depitation from ourselves, and says us to the old man:''Hev you guv up the nevigation of this vessel?
34611Supply the office by bringing up his friends when prepared to be lavish with money?"
34611Surely you do n''t think that you would conjure up the romance, do you?"
34611That Toronto yacht, the Ideal, I suppose, could--""Oh, you know the Ideal?"
34611That would do well enough to remove the eyesore with, but how could he row and hold the boat- hook at the same time?
34611The girls looked guilty, with an expression of"Oh, have n''t we been bad?"
34611The ledger- keeper from A to M, who occupied the stall beyond Jack''s, then growled out:"What''s the matter with you?"
34611Then she said, after a long silence:"Would it not be as well to let Margaret wear this brown veil a few times, Geoffrey?
34611Then, somehow, the conversation got back to the police court, and the question,"What is a criminal?"
34611Then, turning to Geoffrey, with simplicity,"Are we engaged?"
34611These experiences, leading to police- court items and police- court savages, brought up the question of"What is a savage?"
34611These make no proof; the savage has none of them; and if they were proof, whither do man''s aspirations chiefly point?
34611Things stirring?"
34611This friendship between them-- what did it amount to?
34611This time she caught herself, and asked herself why?
34611To earth or to heaven?"
34611Was it the formation of his jaw?
34611What about the tutor?
34611What about your beastly tutor?
34611What are ye after, man?"
34611What are you doing this afternoon?
34611What are you going to compete for to- day?"
34611What do you say to calling it''An Association for the Propagation of Friendly Feeling among Themselves''?"
34611What do you want?"
34611What if he refuses?"
34611What is a special train without champagne?"
34611What is it you want to- night?
34611What is there definitely held out as reward by religions to make men improve?
34611What is your good news?
34611What is''t, but to be nothing else but mad?
34611What island is that over there?''
34611What should a man be called who had in him these combinations?
34611What slender youth, bedewed with liquid odors, Courts thee on roses in some pleasant cave, Pyrrha?
34611What was he going to say?
34611What will those women think?"
34611What will you?
34611What''s he talking about?
34611What''s the matter with you, any way?"
34611When did you turn over the new leaf?
34611When everything was settled in the compartment she said in a worried nervous way to Jack:"And I suppose you will be wanting me to write to you?"
34611Where does that side door lead?"
34611Where had those thousands melted away to?
34611Where was the harm?
34611Where--?"
34611Which do you wish to do?"
34611Which, of the two, was the more innocent-- which, of the two, had the better right or duty to bear the brunt of the disaster?
34611Who are you that you should presume to insult me?
34611Who issued the warrant, and what is it about?"
34611Who knows?
34611Who''s forrud?"
34611Why do we like his stories so much, I wonder?"
34611Why do you go out of your way to say unkind things?
34611Why do you talk in this strain?
34611Why is it when they say he ca n''t do it that it never occurs to her that he wo n''t?
34611Why plod along on microscopic savings, like a mere machine to be fed and to work?
34611Why should Margaret have blushed as she did so?
34611Why should she die?"
34611Why should we drink them separately?
34611Why will you never get married?"
34611Why, dash it, I cleared fifty thousand dollars before lunch- time to- day, and now how much will you have of it?"
34611Why, then, build Queen Anne houses in a place where the mind refuses to think of anything but the Indian?"
34611Will you marry me?"
34611Will you walk in?"
34611Wo n''t you come and help me to find Sarah?"
34611Would it be all the same if I went to you about Monday week?"
34611Would n''t a Turkish bath satisfy you?
34611Would not Jack be with her always to serve as a safeguard?
34611Would not the boat leak less while proceeding in an ordinary way, instead of being dragged from wave to wave?
34611Would you know the boat he went in if you saw it?"
34611You always look so-- in fact, so different from that sort of person, do n''t you know?"
34611You are bound now by your professional creed not to divulge, are you not?"
34611You do not object to my doing this, do you?"
34611You mind old Rennardson?
34611You must be wrong when you say there is nothing in the world worth living for?"
34611You remember Sophronia B., when she was with us?
34611You study science, then, to persuade yourself that when you die you will remain teetotally dead?"
34611Your maiden name was-- a?"
34611ai n''t he soft?"
34611and did not Christianity expand those laws by teaching the religion of sympathy?
34611and throw over the French count that proposed to me in London?"
34611and who is she that she should be held over my head?
34611are my words but as wind that you should mock me with their emptiness?
34611are they not?"
34611did you not hear?
34611explanations!--why are men so curious?
34611is n''t it nice of me to say that?
34611or have you arranged anything?"
34611or what?"
34611toasts at such an informal luncheon as this, Jack?"
34611whither dost thou fly?
34611you have n''t got a client, have you?"
34611you wo n''t wash yourself?"
33305A neat man? 33305 A visitor?"
33305Admiring the first fruits?
33305Afraid in Miss Knollys''house?
33305Afraid?
33305Ah, and why not?
33305Ah, then, why do you talk of unearthing? 33305 Ah,"I cried;"some one sick in the house?"
33305Ah,I ejaculated, thinking that possibly Loreen had found it necessary to assist in the preparation of the meal,"and your brother?"
33305Ah,said he,"then you have not done so yet?
33305Am I surveying these occurrences through highly magnifying glasses?
33305Am I watched or am I not watched?
33305And William?
33305And a trifle rough to everything but his dogs?
33305And act as if they would do-- what would they not do for him?
33305And did you sleep there last night?
33305And do they live there alone,I asked,--"two young ladies in a house so large and in a neighborhood so full of mystery?"
33305And how was that? 33305 And if he were?"
33305And number twenty- eight?
33305And the houses? 33305 And this idea was not affected by what you saw afterwards?"
33305And where''s Simsbury? 33305 And who are these men?"
33305And who lives in the house marked B?
33305And why do you think it took me several trials?
33305And you are sure you saw nothing?
33305Are you not well?
33305Are you the lady from New York who is staying with them?
33305But William?
33305But how came he to see it? 33305 But is n''t there some spot nearer you?"
33305But the oddest feature of this tree and one with which you are perhaps not acquainted( I wonder if anybody is?)
33305But this girl? 33305 But what can you do here?"
33305But what has it to do with me?
33305But what other motive could she have? 33305 Crime?
33305Curious? 33305 Deacon Spear is rich, is he not?"
33305Did I say besides?
33305Did n''t you hear us?
33305Did they submit Mr. Trohm''s house to a search also?
33305Did you really see a hand there?
33305Dig?
33305Do n''t you agree with me, madam?
33305Do n''t you see she is muttering? 33305 Do they live on this road?"
33305Do they say she is imbecile?
33305Do you mean to say you have not seen the inside of them all?
33305Do you say that,I inquired, with some spirit,"because you dislike the man, or because you really believe him to be worthy of hatred?"
33305Do you see Mother Jane over there?
33305Do you think her delicate frame can stand it? 33305 Do you think so, madam?"
33305Do you think that the sight of a little money would appease her?
33305Do you think,said I,"that it is in those woods the disappearances occur of which Miss Knollys has told me?"
33305Does she live on the highway or somewhere in Lost Man''s Lane?
33305Does the man you call Gryce seem satisfied?
33305Excuse me,said he, with some remembrance of my position toward him as a stranger,"but were n''t you afraid?"
33305For him? 33305 Has Simsbury a daughter?
33305Has he married since?
33305Have I said anything? 33305 Have none of these houses been visited by you?"
33305Have they finished down below?
33305Have you a map of the place?
33305Have you any other guests in the house?
33305He is there, then, of his own free will-- or yours?
33305He was the last to disappear from these parts, was he not?
33305How can you say that?
33305How dare you accuse me of crime-- you whose mother would have died in jail but for my forbearance? 33305 How did you pass the night?"
33305How shall we keep the old girl out of the house till it is all over?
33305Humph, and how long will that take?
33305I told you that this was no vulgar mystery,he declared;"or why should I be considering it with_ you_?
33305Is it good- by, Lucetta?
33305Is it necessary to put me off quite so far?
33305Is n''t it the longest way to the village?
33305Is that what you mean?
33305Is that your business now?
33305It is you, is it? 33305 Lucetta, Lucetta, is it then good- by?
33305Lucetta,said I,"is Deacon Spear a rich man?"
33305Lucetta?
33305Miss Butterworth, what is the matter?
33305Miss Butterworth,--I thought he looked a trifle shaken,--"what did Mother Jane do in that closely shuttered house last night?"
33305Must one understand a person to like him?
33305Must they go into the cellar too?
33305No, but----"William, then?
33305No,she cried,"why should you think so?
33305No?
33305No?
33305Nothing,I protested,"only-- you see that window over there?
33305Oh,I returned, somewhat taken aback;"you called his attention to it, then?"
33305Only perhaps?
33305Parts?
33305Perhaps you have not heard that this village is under a cloud just now?
33305Principle? 33305 Prisoners?"
33305Refuge?
33305Rich? 33305 Safe?"
33305Saw it before he did or afterwards?
33305Screamed?
33305Shall I order the coach for you?
33305Silly Rufus?
33305So you were up and in the halls?
33305So, and that gave you no idea?
33305Some superstition of the place? 33305 Such a monster as I?
33305Tell your story?
33305The coach?
33305The girls?
33305Then she''s gone?
33305There is no doubt, is there, about his being an absolute maniac?
33305They have got the matter down as close as that, and yet have not solved its mystery? 33305 Trunk key missing?"
33305Useful?
33305Very soon?
33305Waal, what do you think of her now?
33305Was I mistaken when I thought I saw a hand drop crumbs from that window?
33305Was Lucetta shoeless or William or even Mother Jane? 33305 Was that all?"
33305Was your father equally handsome for a man?
33305Well, what did you find there?
33305Well, what lady would lend herself to this scheme?
33305Well?
33305Were they so when you came in?
33305What are you talking about?
33305What business has he in my barn?
33305What do you mean by a knot of crape, and when was it you obtained entrance into William''s room?
33305What do you mean by speaking to me of my mother? 33305 What do you mean, Miss Butterworth?
33305What do you suppose she will do with that?
33305What do you suppose that detective wants of Lucetta now?
33305What do you think of William?
33305What does Mr. Gryce want, Lucetta?
33305What else can you trust in, when a case is as impenetrable as this one?
33305What else did these girls let fall in your hearing?
33305What has happened to him? 33305 What have we already done?"
33305What invention and what audacity!--the invention and the audacity of a man totally irresponsible for his deeds, was it not?
33305What is it, then?
33305What is the matter now?
33305What is the matter with your matches?
33305What is the matter, Hannah?
33305What kind of work is it?
33305What makes you say that? 33305 What was this unhappy mother''s name?"
33305What''s the child been saying? 33305 What,"said I,"you still doubt?"
33305What-- what has procured us the honor of this visit?
33305Where are we going?
33305Where do you think I would sleep? 33305 Where else?"
33305Where is Loreen?
33305Where is William?
33305Where''s Saracen? 33305 Which?"
33305Who''s there?
33305Who''s to blame for that?
33305Who, then? 33305 Why do you doubt it?
33305Why do you go that way?
33305Why do you think Mr. Trohm cherishes such animosity towards you? 33305 Why does Lucetta go out of the room when you come in?"
33305Why does she harp on numbers?
33305Why not one weak girl?
33305Why, Trohm,he cried,"is that you?
33305Why, then, do you want a key to your door?
33305Why, who was it called in the police and set them working in Lost Man''s Lane? 33305 Why?"
33305Will you excuse me for a few moments?
33305Would you? 33305 Yes, and why not?"
33305Yet_ you_ have been there?
33305You brought it, did you, and you''ve taken it, have you? 33305 You do n''t believe in spirits?"
33305You do n''t know little Rob,he inquired,"the crippled lad who lives at the head of the lane?"
33305You do?
33305You entered this hut as well as the big houses?
33305You have?
33305You saw my mother''s coffin lowered? 33305 You think so?"
33305You were? 33305 You will be sure to come in time to have the lock fitted before night?"
33305You wo n''t forget the key?
33305Your errand? 33305 Your mother''s grave?"
33305_ My_ reputation?
33305_ You_ do not share her sister''s fears that it is in the heart of this man to kill Lucetta?
33305_ You_ saw him?
33305***** What shall I do?
33305***** Why have I been so foolish?
33305Am I a wizard to dissipate his body in vapor?
33305Am I an idiot?
33305Am I ashamed to tell her that I have to limit my effusion to just four pages because I have commenced a diary?
33305Am I destined to an early death?
33305Am I not right, William?"
33305And how had I succeeded?
33305And why did Miss Butterworth think she had got to sit in Carter''s parlor?"
33305And you came upon no suspicious house, no suspicious person?"
33305And you saw a dress?"
33305And you want me to guess where you found them?
33305And, Mr. Gryce, where could she bestow the bodies of so many unfortunate victims, even if by her great strength she could succeed in killing them?"
33305Are you quite well, my dear?"
33305Are you simply foolish, or are you wicked?
33305Are you sure you wish to enter this house again, madam?"
33305Are you the eldest, my dear, and where are your sister and brother?"
33305Because I have kept so quiet and not sounded one note of alarm from my whistle?"
33305Been in the hay, eh?"
33305Besides, how would the shoes of such a person come into William''s room?"
33305Besides, who knows how I shall feel to- morrow?
33305Besides, whom could I mean but you?
33305Besides--"Should I tell Mr. Trohm my real errand in this place?
33305But did n''t the police examine the whole place yesterday?
33305But how get money without Charles knowing it?
33305But if it does, what has he to gain from a pause at the gate and a word to such a new acquaintance as I am?"
33305But that fear?
33305But was there anything hidden there?
33305But what fact?
33305But what made you think the hand you saw belonged to Silly Rufus?"
33305But when did you find this out, and what explanation are you able to give of the presence of this ring on a pigeon''s neck?"
33305But where is my pretty Lucetta?
33305But why do you rise, madam?
33305But why has she a lover to bemoan?
33305But why-- if you will pardon me-- did she happen to light upon that story?
33305But with these evidences of the extent of her dread before us, how can we stay in this house?"
33305But you-- did you see it?
33305Came, did n''t he?
33305Can a man who loves these things stomach the destruction of a man, much less of a silly, yawping boy?
33305Can it be that this great building has another occupant?
33305Can not I be trusted to take care of my own affairs and keep my own secrets?
33305Can not you imagine a person shut up in an inaccessible place making some such attempt to communicate with his fellow- creatures?"
33305Can not you see that all your suspicions can be explained by the brother''s cruel impulses and the sisters''horror of having those impulses known?"
33305Can you adduce irrefutable proof that the body we buried last night was that of a man?
33305Can you blame me, Miss?
33305Can you perform it?"
33305Can you say the same of yours?"
33305Could n''t you set it straight, with just a little effort?"
33305Did Mother Jane talk after she got back?"
33305Did he know or suspect that the only thing I feared in this lane was he?
33305Did he think I was going to introduce my tragic story by telling what Mother Jane did?
33305Did he think I was the woman to be deceived by any such balderdash as that?
33305Did n''t Deacon Spear tell you there was such a place?"
33305Did she tell you anything else?"
33305Did you care for me at all, or was it only your wish to increase the number of men in your train?
33305Did you ever see a livelier girl or one with more knack at winning affection?
33305Did you think me a superficial egotist, without facts to back my assertions?"
33305Do n''t you remember that I told you she never could be got to go more than forty rods from her own doorstep?"
33305Do n''t you see that every minute makes less our chances of concealment?"
33305Do you know what I would like?"
33305Do you mean that, my dear?"
33305Do you never get tired of these pine- boughs and clustering shadows?
33305Do you remember the strings and strings of dried vegetables that decorate the beams above?"
33305Do you see that house marked A?"
33305Do you sleep in the Knollys house?"
33305Do you think I ought to join them and find out what he is urging upon her so earnestly?
33305Do you think she would give me a handful of it if I paid her?"
33305Does it seem odd to hear so old a woman as I speak of herself as a schoolgirl?"
33305From the sisters''words and actions I judged there was nothing serious, but would they know?
33305Gryce?"
33305Had I not been sufficiently warned of the dangers of Lost Man''s Lane to keep myself at a respectable distance from the place of peril?
33305Had I seen the worst?
33305Had Mother Jane committed these crimes herself?
33305Had an errand there, I suppose?"
33305Had he done so?
33305Had he not himself said that only in this way could we hope to come upon the clue that had eluded all open efforts to find it?
33305Had it been her fault or mine?
33305Has the reputation of this place gone abroad?
33305Has there not been a child about the house some time to assist the cook in errands and so on?"
33305Have I no sense?
33305Have I put you out so completely by my coming that none of you can sleep?"
33305Have I spoken of her to you?
33305Have they a child on this place?"
33305Have you anything to say against these conclusions?
33305Have you ever seen me set my foot upon a worm?
33305Have you heard of that?"
33305Have you heard-- has any one ever told you that-- that it was not considered quite safe?"
33305Have you never thought that Lucetta was governed by principle in discarding this very excellent young man?"
33305Have you?"
33305He good?
33305He has been there but a few days, and-- well, what have I said now?"
33305He was big-- bigger than I am, and while he lived-- What did you make a fellow talk for?"
33305Hoping to relieve her and lighten the situation, I forced myself to smile on the young man as I said:"Why do n''t you raise melons yourself?
33305How came you to know as much as you do about last night''s proceedings?
33305How came you to think that her mutterings had anything to do with a hiding- place?"
33305How can I rob her or any one of a man with a voice and arm of his own stronger than mine?
33305How could he have hoped to find any clue to such a mystery as he is engaged to unearth, in a house presided over by Miss Knollys?"
33305How could he prophesy evil to one over whom he will have no control?
33305How could he see into my future?
33305How could she accomplish her task if not alone?
33305How could she have vanished, then, so quickly?
33305How did you succeed with the locksmith yesterday?
33305How is Mr. William this morning?"
33305How long is this road?"
33305How would your mother regard that if she could see you from the place where she is gone?"
33305How, then, could we satisfy her dying wishes without compromising her memory and ourselves?
33305I and my dogs would know how to fill it, would n''t we, Saracen?
33305I came to her rescue with a new question:"Have the women of the Knollys family ever been successful in love?
33305I cried,"you heard that?"
33305I do n''t think much of Deacon Spear myself, but if_ you_ do-- Why, what''s the matter now?"
33305I repeated, determined not to let the subject go;"have you never thought he was a little indifferent to his sisters?"
33305I was almost angry, but restrained myself and pursued quietly,"The girls, on the contrary, seem devoted to him?"
33305I wish I----""Well?"
33305I wonder if any very dreadful things ever happened in this house?
33305If it were not for Mr. Trohm''s journal( Did I mention that he had lent me a journal of his travels?)
33305If that could happen once, why not twice?
33305If the plan was to keep me out most of the morning why could that shoe not have been loosened before the mare left the stable?
33305If there were perils of no ordinary nature to be encountered in so doing, was I not all the more called upon to lend them the support of my presence?
33305If this knot was a signal, for whom was this signal meant?
33305If we were going now, Charles and I-- But why dream of a Paradise whose doors remain closed to you?
33305Is Mr. Simsbury a neat man?"
33305Is it necessary for you to wait all day?"
33305Is it she?"
33305Is n''t that the programme, Loreen?
33305Is n''t there some one else you can call in?"
33305Is not that what you wanted?"
33305Is there a tumbled- down old inn in the vicinity where beds are made up over trap- doors?"
33305Is there any one else?
33305Is there any reason why you should lug my mother into this conversation?
33305Is there anything more you want, ma''am, and do you prefer tea or coffee for breakfast?"
33305Locked?--this door?
33305Madam, what do you mean?"
33305May I ask where you were?"
33305Might this Deacon Spear by any chance be the rich man whose animosity Althea Knollys had awakened?
33305Miss Butterworth, what about the knot of crape?
33305Miss Butterworth, will you go down with us?
33305Mother Jane?
33305My finger came back and stopped at the house marked M."Why is a letter affixed to this spot?"
33305Not ten cents or ten dollars, but ten----""Why do you stop?"
33305Now can you say the same for yours?
33305Now what has made the change?
33305Now what if I should tell you that I agree with you, and that this is why I have dragged you here this fine morning?"
33305Now what lies within those forty rods?
33305Now where does that lead us?
33305Now, what do you make of that?"
33305Now, who could this prisoner be?
33305Only you wo n''t try to go home, ma''am, on foot?
33305Or have you changed your mind and planned a drive for Miss Butterworth?"
33305Ostrander?"
33305Shall I do it?
33305Shall I open it and come in?"
33305Shall I put them as I found them?"
33305Shall I tell my story?"
33305She looked as if her whole thought was,"Have I come in time?"
33305She''ll have hard work of it, wo n''t she?
33305Should I humor them, or find excuses for remaining home?
33305Should they be mine?
33305Simsbury?"
33305Suddenly Lucetta asked:"Did they dig up Mr. Trohm''s cellar?"
33305Surely you do not associate crime with the Misses Knollys?"
33305Ten what?
33305The dove had brought the ring into old Mother Jane''s hands, but whence and through whose agency?
33305The last-- what am I saying?
33305The mother of these girls, say-- she who was Miss Althea Burroughs-- was her life with her husband happy?
33305The piping voice of the child at once spoke up:"How d''ye do, Mr. Simsbury?
33305Then abruptly:"What do you think of Deacon Spear?"
33305Then he cried:"Why, how''s this?
33305Then who is it?
33305Then you were not locked up in your room last night?"
33305There was nothing to be found in his house, but who knows where the danger may lurk, and that it may not be near her now?
33305This ring-- Mr. Chittenden''s ring, whose presence in her hut we thought an evidence of guilt, was brought to her by one of her pigeons?"
33305This was comforting certainly, from a selfish standpoint; but did it relieve my mind concerning others?
33305Trohm?"
33305Trohm?"
33305Trohm?"
33305Was I a likely person to fall victim to a mystery to which my eyes had been opened?
33305Was her marriage to blame for it or my spinsterhood?
33305Was it because of any secret knowledge thus gained you declare so positively that it was not a human being you helped lower in its grave?"
33305Was it connected with me or with something threatening her from another portion of the house?
33305Was it the embarrassment of poverty, not knowing how to meet the call made so suddenly upon it?
33305Was n''t she charming, ma''am?
33305Was she right?
33305Was there anyone or anything at the top of the dim staircase I could faintly see in the distance?
33305Was there nothing worse for them to fear?
33305Were she and the judge happy together?
33305Were you fortunate enough to have been awake at that moment and to have seen this spectral appearance?"
33305What can your errand be but to----"Why did she pause?
33305What could the fellow have meant?
33305What did I tell you?
33305What did it mean?
33305What did it mean?
33305What did she say?"
33305What do you suppose they expect to find there?
33305What do you think I am made of, Mr. Gryce?
33305What do you think it means, Miss Loreen?
33305What do you think of it?"
33305What does it mean, my dear?
33305What does that matter?
33305What does that mean?"
33305What has Miss Butterworth to do with this?
33305What have you chanced upon, madam, in your disinterested drive into town?"
33305What is it?"
33305What is the meaning of this?
33305What kind of a door is it?"
33305What made you think of him?"
33305What principle could she have had in letting a desirable husband go?"
33305What right had I to look for such attentions from a man whose acquaintance I had made only the day before?
33305What was he doing, and of what blunder might he not be guilty without my judicious guidance?
33305What we buried was undoubtedly human, and the question now is, Who was it, and of what death did he die?"
33305What will Loreen say to me?"
33305What''s the use of my bothering myself about it?"
33305What''s to be done?
33305Where is he, Mr. Trohm?
33305Where was it located-- in the house or in the grounds?
33305Where were you that you should see that?
33305Who is she, and where did she come from?
33305Why are my enemies always to be found among the girls, and among the plainest of them too?
33305Why did I not let my over- fond neighbor know from the beginning that I detested him, instead of-- But what have I done anyway?
33305Why have I chosen, then, to give up the great world and settle down in this grimmest of grim old houses in a none too lively village?
33305Why in a week?
33305Why is this, Mr. Trohm?
33305Why let him go as she did?
33305Why should I interrupt your sister or give her or you a moment of pain?"
33305Why should I not have needed to ask?"
33305Why should I not play for an instant or more with his curiosity?
33305Why should I show any failure of courage at an event that was but a repetition of the very ones which made my visit necessary?
33305Why should n''t I eat his fruit?"
33305Why should n''t I think of him?"
33305Why should she hang on to me like a burr when there are other folks willing to take on the burden?"
33305Why was n''t he?
33305Why were they all so sure she was harmless?
33305Why, then, did I allow my instincts to triumph over my judgment?
33305Why?
33305Why?
33305Will she survive this day and carry through whatever it is she has set herself to accomplish?"
33305Will you be that wife?
33305Will you come or send a man to her house to- day?
33305Will you cross the road and speak to her?
33305Will you object if I endeavor to distract her mind with a little piece of gold I happen to have in my pocket?
33305Will you promise me one thing?"
33305William stopped laughing long enough to say:"His cellar?
33305William''s rude question of the morning,"What shall we do with the old girl till it is all over?"
33305William, have I said anything?"
33305William?
33305Wo n''t you-- won''t you sit down?"
33305Would I have been a man to trust if I had let such an event as this go by unchallenged?"
33305Would I like to hear about it?
33305Would it be worth while for me to search a room she was willing to have me enter?
33305Would not a little cottage in the sunnier part of the town be preferable to all this dreary grandeur?"
33305Would the utterance of that name heighten my suggestion?
33305Would you mind my roaming about a bit just to enjoy the old- time flavor of its great empty rooms?
33305XXI MOTHER JANE"Well, well, what did Trohm want here this morning?"
33305Yet can you find it in my house or on my lawn?
33305Yet did I think I would ever come to the end of this matter without involving Lucetta?
33305Yet with such an opportunity at my command, how could I let him go without another question?
33305You are strong, are you not?''"
33305You ascribe them to Deacon Spear, but they-- whom do they ascribe them to?"
33305You believe this and that, but you have not told any one what your suspicions are?"
33305You knew Althea Knollys when she was a girl?
33305You looked into the wardrobe?"
33305You will not go with me?"
33305You''ll wait till I come back for you?"
33305_ My grave!_ where lies it, and why should I feel the shudder of it now?
33305and where is Silly Rufus and all the rest who have vanished between Deacon Spear''s house and the little home of the cripples on the highroad?
33305and why, in all our peregrinations in and out of rooms, had we always passed one door without entering?
33305may I not tell Lucetta----""And spoil our entire prospect of solving this mystery?
33305she murmured, but not so low but that my excited sense caught every syllable,"can she have heard?
33305ten, beyond which she said she could not count?"
33305that graceless scamp chuckled, with a suspicious look at our downcast faces,"been improving the opportunity, eh?"
33305to one watched over and beloved by a man like Charles?
33305what has happened to me?"
33305why do n''t I answer Meeley Butterworth''s last letter?
31949A cop?
31949After eighteen years--"Will you never learn reason? 31949 After we have eaten will you let us drive you in that direction in my car?"
31949All the time?
31949Am I loved, then?
31949An'', for the love of Mike, who was the first wan?
31949And as to your father?
31949And how long have you been employed in Messrs. Brown, Son& Brown''s bookbinding department?
31949And is that what the scandal is about? 31949 And my son comes to see you?"
31949And of that_ passée_ creature? 31949 And she was-- gay then?"
31949And that is?
31949And this Mrs. Ronald Tower, whom you knew at eighteen, how old was she then?
31949And unfurnished?
31949And where is it?
31949And where is the young lady now?
31949And where?
31949And you?
31949And, now that I''ve seen_ you_, what sort of weird specimen can Mr. Ralph V. Voles, of Chicago, be? 31949 Anybody called for her recently?"
31949Anything we can do, Senator?
31949Anything wrong?
31949Are you coming to see me?
31949Are you ready, Miss Bartlett?
31949Are you sober?
31949As for me?
31949At eleven to- night?
31949At this hour-- in a car?
31949Been here before? 31949 Blame, my good woman, who is imputing blame?"
31949Bring at least five hundred dollars-- If the police.... Says he will confess everything.... Do you get me? 31949 But has he had the effrontery to mention her in this way to other ladies?
31949But how came I, then, to have the opposite impression so strongly? 31949 But how on earth has it happened that I never heard a whisper of this preposterous thing?"
31949But how? 31949 But if you had killed me what other goose would lay golden eggs?"
31949But is she the wife of the Ronald Tower who was dragged by the lasso into the river?
31949But no relatives?
31949But that is rather defiant of everything, is it not?
31949But what am I to do?
31949But what have I to do with all this? 31949 But why are you here?"
31949But why not? 31949 But why should they be so terribly anxious to find me?
31949But why? 31949 But wo n''t you tell me why you have asked me so many questions about my aunt and her ways?"
31949But you are not serious? 31949 But you left him in the river?"
31949But you will at least let me know where you are? 31949 But, is nothing being done?"
31949But-- where have I seen you before?
31949Ca n''t yer see it''s empty? 31949 Ca n''t you forget her for half an hour?"
31949Ca n''t you two shut up?
31949Can I do anything?
31949Can you stand if I lift you over?
31949Could I help coming?
31949Could n''t you say you had secured her a place on the stage, and make him send her to you, to test her voice, or something? 31949 Crazy?"
31949D''ye really mean it?
31949D''ye think a police launch''ud be foolin''around with a tow at this time o''day if it was n''t something special?
31949Did I get your story right when you came in?
31949Did he bring a young woman to this ship late last night?
31949Did he know you were there to meet me?
31949Did n''t Dr. Johnson once say that claret is the liquor for boys, port for men, but he who aspires to be a hero should drink brandy? 31949 Did n''t some wan shout?"
31949Did she go out again last night?
31949Do I? 31949 Do n''t I come up to your expectations?"
31949Do n''t you understand? 31949 Do you go home the same way?"
31949Do you go straight home?
31949Do you happen to know if there is any one on board looking after the interests of the syndicate?
31949Do you happen to know where this girl is to be found?
31949Do you know what happened to a frog when he tried to emulate a bull?
31949Do you live here all alone? 31949 Do you live near?
31949Do you make good coffee, Phillips?
31949Do you mean Senator Meiklejohn?
31949Do you mean now to arrest those in the house?
31949Do you mean that East Orange is a place favorable to our search?
31949Do you mean that she will be kept in prison?
31949Do you mean to say that your aunt never sees any one but yourself and casual callers, such as tradespeople?
31949Do you think I''d risk my neck if I were likely to be pinched? 31949 Do you think, sir, she will not come back to- day?"
31949Do you want it pressingly?
31949Do you wish to forget the incident of yesterday evening?
31949Do you wish to goad me into hysteria? 31949 Do you?
31949Does he not see her daily?
31949Does my voice sound as if I were joking, Bates?
31949Does your aunt go out much?
31949Ever had any boarders?
31949Good gracious, Miss Barnard, what''s the matter?
31949Got the girl, have we? 31949 Guess that''s so, mister, an''who has more right than the daughter of the man who puts up the dough for the trip?
31949Has any complete search of Winifred''s rooms been made?
31949Has he found her, then?
31949Have I?
31949Have you a man named Voles or Vane on board?
31949Have you a megaphone?
31949Have you found her?
31949Have you gone crazy with the heat?
31949Have you traveled far?
31949He told you so?
31949How can I give any clues?
31949How can that be? 31949 How could I forget?"
31949How could you possibly know that I was here?
31949How dare you call me by that name?
31949How dare you follow me here and say such vile things?
31949How did you happen on my address?
31949How do you mean?
31949How does she come to know about singing and theatrical people?
31949How shall we live?
31949How-- did you know?
31949How-- on principle?
31949How?
31949I assume there_ is_ a young lady on board?
31949I take it you have come to see me?
31949I wonder you can give yourself the pains to come to spend your precious minutes with me when that sort of woman is within--"What, not jealous?
31949I-- well, were n''t we almost boy and girl together?
31949I? 31949 I?
31949I? 31949 I?
31949I?
31949If I tell you where the Senator is, you are sure Rex will not follow you?
31949If you are my father,she said, with a strange self- possession that came to her aid in this trying moment,"where is my mother?"
31949In here-- where?
31949In what way?
31949Is Miss Craik on the phone?
31949Is it a truth?
31949Is it manly to come here and insult me?
31949Is it the same little influence at work upon him as some months ago?
31949Is my aunty still searching for me, I wonder?
31949Is n''t he clever and fertile in device? 31949 Is n''t that the Police Headquarters?"
31949Is n''t there a motor launch on the yacht?
31949Is that her real name?
31949Is that my son''s doings?
31949Is that the average amount paid to the other girls?
31949Is that you, Mr. Petch? 31949 Is this the only entrance?"
31949It is a small, old- fashioned residence, but very large for the requirements of two women?
31949Man alive, I hate humbug as much as any man; but do n''t you see that the Bureau must make sure of its case before it acts? 31949 May I ask to whom I am speaking?"
31949May I drop you in Madison Avenue?
31949Meaning?
31949Meanwhile, be ready to come with me to East Orange to- morrow at 8 A.M."Why not to- night?
31949Need you ask? 31949 No doubt you have a definite sum in your mind?"
31949No servants, of course?
31949Now last night, for instance, was your aunt at home when you reached the house?
31949Now, then, what''s the trouble?
31949Now, who in the world will Senator Meiklejohn meet on the landing- stage?
31949Oh, Mr. Clancy, is it?
31949Oh, are you safe?
31949On what charge?
31949Or run five at a jog- trot?
31949Or the Bureau?
31949Perhaps you would prefer toast and an egg?
31949Questions about what?
31949Rex, have you driven me wholly from your heart?
31949Rex,she murmured brokenly, hiding her face,"do you forgive me?"
31949Shall I go on?
31949She has never been married?
31949So you are determined to marry her?
31949So you are quite alone?
31949So you will always come, even if you promise not to?
31949So-- what do you say?
31949Sober? 31949 Some spot one would never suspect, eh?"
31949Spit- fire, eh?
31949Still pursuing that girl?
31949Sure?
31949Surely there was some motive?
31949Surely you know every one who has a right to be on the ship?
31949Surprised to see me?
31949Tell me,said the tortured Meiklejohn;"why have you returned to New York?
31949That is the way to reach the heart of the mystery-- get at the facts, eh? 31949 That you, Nolan?"
31949That you?
31949That''s all?
31949The police_ again_? 31949 Then she has told you?"
31949Then why-- why murder Ronald Tower?
31949Then, in heaven''s name, who is the man who has just been pulled into the river?
31949Then, when?
31949They''re like as two peas in a pod, ai n''t they?
31949Think you''re taking an easier road to the white lights, I guess?
31949Voles? 31949 Voles?"
31949Was it womanly to place these hounds on the track of my poor Winifred? 31949 Well, and how get her there?"
31949Well, any news?
31949Well, how is the arm feeling now?
31949Well, my dear chap, I was naturally anxious to see you, because-- but perhaps you do n''t know that those scoundrels meant to attack you, not me?
31949Well, what about it?
31949Well,said he, his face alight for joy as she moaned on his breast,"what is it all about?
31949Well-- a bit free and easy, does n''t it? 31949 Whadda ya mean-- after her?"
31949What am I to do? 31949 What are you going to do?"
31949What can it be that you have to say to me of such''high importance''?
31949What can we do with her? 31949 What do you earn?"
31949What do you want? 31949 What do you want?"
31949What does_ elancée_ mean?
31949What does_ that_ mean?
31949What favor, sir?
31949What has happened?
31949What have I said that you should fly off the trolley in that way?
31949What have you done with her? 31949 What hold has Meiklejohn over you?"
31949What is her full name?
31949What is it all about?
31949What is she like?
31949What is the alternative?
31949What is the girl''s name?
31949What is the meaning of this, Winifred? 31949 What is?
31949What matter? 31949 What of the local police?"
31949What on earth is the matter? 31949 What reason did she give for such a singular choice?"
31949What reason have they?
31949What right have you or he to take me away from my work to a police- station? 31949 What right have you to treat me in this way?"
31949What''re givin''me? 31949 What''s bitten you, Frog?"
31949What''s the matter?
31949What''s the rush?
31949What''s the trouble?
31949What''s up now?
31949What''s up?
31949What''s up?
31949What, the''Winifred''and the''Bartlett?'' 31949 What, then?
31949What, was that a ruse? 31949 What?
31949What?
31949What?
31949When were you born?
31949Where are the others?
31949Where does that door lead to?
31949Where is Meiklejohn?
31949Where is she?
31949Where is the Senator?
31949Where''s the use of talking? 31949 Where''s this spy you gab of?
31949Which same little influence?
31949Whither bound?
31949Who is that I hear speaking? 31949 Who is this lady?"
31949Who lives in Gateway House?
31949Who told you?
31949Who wants you to go in for a sham wedding, you swab?
31949Who would n''t? 31949 Who''d have thought it of you, Rachel?"
31949Whom should you tell but me?
31949Why are you buttin''in?
31949Why are you unwilling to charge them with attempted murder?
31949Why did n''t I go?
31949Why did n''t you ring up Mulberry Street last night, Senator?
31949Why did you want to murder me, Ralph?
31949Why have you allowed Miss Bartlett to be spirited away? 31949 Why is she called Bartlett?"
31949Why on earth does n''t Carshaw marry the girl?
31949Why should I tell_ you_, if anything is wrong?
31949Why so?
31949Why, did n''t you hear how he spoke up for her this mornin''when Ole Mother Sugg handed her the lemon about bein''late?
31949Why?
31949Will you be dining at home, Rex?
31949Winifred,said Carshaw solemnly,"will you consider me your friend from this night?"
31949With a woman described as your aunt, and known as Miss Rachel Craik?
31949With whom?
31949Wo n''t you come with me?
31949Yes, but what boat? 31949 You are Winifred Bartlett?"
31949You are not fond of me, Winnie?
31949You are sorry for me, then?
31949You do n''t wish me to start housebreaking, do you? 31949 You know Mrs. Ronald Tower?"
31949You know Senator Meiklejohn by sight?
31949You live in East One Hundred and Twelfth Street?
31949You mean she is at liberty?
31949You take the Third Avenue L, I suppose?
31949You told the patrolman at Eighty- sixth Street that you were hurrying away to break the news to Mrs. Tower, yet you did not go near her?
31949You would n''t care to take poison, would you?
31949You''d like to hand one to that fellow Carshaw?
31949You''ll follow her to Fairfield then?
31949You''re broke?
31949You''ve consulted them?
31949You, Rachel?
31949You?
31949You?
31949You?
31949Young-- nice- looking?
31949Your address is East One Hundred and Twelfth Street, ai n''t it? 31949 *****Where have you been?"
31949A policeman in plain clothes, hiding in a neighboring barn, saw him depart and hailed him:"Any news, Doc?"
31949A_ very_ old friend?"
31949Above all, why did you straightway commit a crime that can not fail to stir the whole country?"
31949After a time Winifred stole forward, tapped on a panel, and her heart jumped into her mouth as she lifted her voice, saying:"Aunty, is it you?"
31949After a time she asked:"Have you seen Mr. Steingall or Mr. Clancy lately?"
31949Again, why should Mrs. Marchbanks''s bankers and guardians allow her to be ruined by a thoughtless fool?"
31949Am I dreaming?
31949Am I to regard myself as thus privileged?"
31949Am I, then, actually to go?"
31949An'', say, why mope at home evenings?
31949And Meiklejohn?
31949And is this''sort of aunt''with you here?"
31949And what charge can we bring against Voles and company?
31949And when he should actually catch them up-- what then?
31949And who is this gentleman?"
31949And who will stop a steward''s tongue from wagging?
31949And you, on your part, promise that if you have need of money you will let me know?
31949And you?"
31949And your mother-- who and where is she?"
31949Anyhow, what business is it of yours?"
31949Are you certain there was nothing else?"
31949Are you mad?"
31949Are you sure you are not injured?"
31949As for you, Mr. Steingall, do you know what the lawyers told Rex and me soon after our marriage?"
31949Assisting the police?"
31949At last, approaching a girl among the sightseers, she put a timid question:"Can you tell me what is the matter?"
31949Aunt, what was it all about?"
31949Brought that wad?"
31949But I''ve given orders--""You dough- faced dub, do n''t you see you create suspicion by refusing to meet people?
31949But have we no business to discuss before you send me away in this fashion?
31949But how to get her address?
31949But it is so; he is fond of you, to such an unusual extent, that quite a scandal has arisen in his social set--""Not about me?"
31949But perhaps we may butt into trouble?"
31949But was it in a dream, that voice which she heard?
31949But what could they do?
31949But what?
31949But who had prompted her to this heartless deed?
31949But who would have imagined that the worst and most deadly of them might be the mother of her Rex?
31949But why, then, was I not loved the day before yesterday?"
31949But, in the company of her loving father and her devoted husband, what can she do?
31949But, somewhere, had she not been conscious of a light at some moment?
31949But, you have some one in there with you?"
31949By the way, how did you happen onto the Senator''s connection with the affair?"
31949By the way, will you be at this luncheon to- morrow?"
31949CHAPTER XV THE VISITOR"Are you Miss Winifred Bartlett?"
31949Can a son of mine be so quixotic?"
31949Can you ever forgive me?"
31949Carshaw?"
31949Carshaw?"
31949Did Miss Bartlett owe you anything?"
31949Did n''t she tell you?
31949Did not Winifred''s angel face, twisted into misery by your lies, cause you one pang of remorse?"
31949Did she love you for your supposed wealth?"
31949Did you see how he grinned when you described that vile weed as''good tobacco''?
31949Do n''t you believe me?
31949Do n''t you see, Mr. Clancy, that it was I, and not poor Tower, whom he meant attacking?
31949Do n''t you understand?
31949Do n''t you, Fowle?"
31949Do you agree?"
31949Do you credit what I say?"
31949Do you ever entertain any visitors?"
31949Do you floor every man you see annoying a woman in the streets?"
31949Do you get me?"
31949Do you know anything about it?"
31949Do you know?"
31949Do you mean to throw off my help as well as myself?"
31949Do you realize what that means, if she ever gets there?
31949Do you remember, mother, how he used to laugh at your pretty little affectations?
31949Do you smoke?
31949Do_ you_, then, belong to the smart set?"
31949Does it hurt-- much?"
31949Does n''t it?"
31949Does she suspect that, too?"
31949Does your Winifred sing?"
31949Even in Bridgeport what could he do?
31949First of all, do you understand that my son is very much in love with you?"
31949First, where is Winifred?"
31949For instance, did you call on Rachel Craik after leaving Eighty- sixth Street?"
31949For instance, who would have expected your double to walk onto the terrace at the landing- stage at nine o''clock precisely last night?
31949Fowle?"
31949Had she dreamed this, or had she seen it?
31949Had she, then, changed her purpose?
31949Has n''t the Bureau kept you informed?"
31949Has-- he-- told you so?"
31949Have I done something wrong, I wonder?
31949Have n''t the newspapers announced your presence on the_ Sans Souci_?
31949Have you any news?"
31949Have you any one with whom you can go to live until Miss Craik is"--he corrected himself--"until matters are cleared up a bit?"
31949Have you not heard that there is a question of marriage?"
31949Have you, by the way, ever seen a man called Voles?"
31949He bowed and held out the paper, saying:"Perhaps you have not seen this morning''s newspaper?"
31949He said if I did n''t announce him he----""What name?"
31949He''s straight, is n''t he?"
31949His name was-- let me see now--""Voles?"
31949How about this Carshaw?
31949How bridge the vast void of to- morrow?
31949How can a bit of unthinking generosity on my part be construed as participation in a crime?"
31949How comes it that you are employed in such work?"
31949How could I marry Winifred under false pretenses?"
31949How could I tell who it was?"
31949How could a girl run away in that fashion?"
31949How do I know?"
31949How old are you?"
31949How shall I describe her?
31949How was she to live through the vast void of that afternoon alone in that apartment?
31949I ca n''t altogether blame poor Rex, for men are not very rational creatures, are they?
31949I did not know you cared--""You-- you did not know that I cared?
31949I did not seek him-- he sought me; and now, when I-- Have you no pity?"
31949I see here one who posed as my aunt for many years--""Posed, Winnie?"
31949I spoke of Helen Tower yesterday as of an old sweetheart-- was that it?
31949I understand why you came to Burlington, but where is Steingall all this time?"
31949I wonder why?
31949If friend Voles had only kept his hands clean, or even treated you honorably, you might now be Mrs. Ralph Meiklejohn, eh?"
31949If the police knew so much that might reasonably be regarded as secret, of what avail was further concealment?
31949If, therefore, you love my son, as I take it that you do-- do you?"
31949Indeed, why should a chivalrous young man pay heed to Fowle when he could gaze his fill into Winifred''s limpid eyes and listen to her tuneful voice?
31949Is he dead?"
31949Is it Winifred?
31949Is it serious?
31949Is it very bad?
31949Is n''t it?
31949Is n''t that lucky?
31949Is she one of those scheming chorus- girls?"
31949Is she strong- willed enough to resist cajoling, and seek the aid of the law if force is threatened?"
31949Is that a remarkable thing here?"
31949Is that all you''re going to say?
31949Is that understood?"
31949Is there no law in this State, nor any one who cares whether or not the law is obeyed?
31949It consisted almost entirely of the bitter and oft- repeated plaint:"What was a car like that doin''here, anyhow?"
31949Jim, who had been nudged earnestly several times by his companion, cried quickly:"Is n''t your friend goin''along, too, mister?"
31949Marriage?"
31949May we walk on a little way together, and then you will tell me?"
31949Mother, in future, you will work with me, not against me?"
31949Mr. Clancy did n''t tell you we regarded you as a desperate crook, did he?"
31949No one suspects a parson-- see?
31949No?
31949Not the first girl you''ve said that about-- is it, my wily William?"
31949Now, about Meiklejohn?
31949Now, am I to go into details?"
31949Now, will you be good enough to fill in the blanks?
31949Now, you do n''t know good, meaning real, tobacco from bad, do you?"
31949Now,_ you_ have n''t killed anybody, have you?"
31949Oh, I only wish--""How do you know my name?"
31949Or perhaps you would prefer that Ronald should be present?"
31949See?"
31949Shall I give you details of the Costa Rica cotton concession, arranged between you, and Jacob, and Helen Tower?
31949Shall we start economizing at once?
31949She flirting with me?
31949Should he not face his fellow- members at the Four Hundred Club?
31949So just cool your pretty lil head, will you?
31949So the house is empty?"
31949Suppose he goes with her to keep the appointment, or learns from her beforehand of it?
31949Suppose we dine together?
31949Suppose you go to the Oranges, in New Jersey, pick out a suitable house, and rent it?
31949Surely you can offer some explanation further than that maddening statement?"
31949That girl-- she is becoming a woman-- what is to be done with her?"
31949The girl?"
31949The visit of Mrs. Carshaw, then, was only a part of the same determined scheme?
31949There had been no bidding, and his partner screamed in protest:"Senator, what are you doing?"
31949They have let you out, then?"
31949Think now, and tell me whether it is not a disturbing thing that you never saw this man face to face?"
31949This night, when there were no longer two, but only one, the question arose strongly in her mind-- why had there never been more than two?
31949This was Fowle, who, with lifted hat, was saying deferentially:"Miss Bartlett, may I have a word?"
31949To sleep there?
31949Too soon for any planning as to the future, I suppose?"
31949Tower?"
31949Walk to the hotel?
31949Was I wrong?"
31949Was he to be swallowed at a gulp when his turn came?
31949Was it fair even to Winifred that she should be asked to pay the immediate price, as it were, of her rescue?
31949Was she not one of the few who had literally seen it?
31949We must have been watched, or how could that man have found us out?
31949Well, you know Gainsborough''s picture of the Duchess of Devonshire?
31949Were you anxious, then, about me?"
31949What about comin''along down- town to- night?
31949What about dinner?
31949What are you afraid of?"
31949What are you doing awake at this hour of the morning, roaming about the house?
31949What are you driving at?"
31949What better place could he choose?
31949What can I do?"
31949What chance have you of getting back into your trade, even if you''d be satisfied with it after having lived like a plute for weeks?"
31949What d''ye know about that?"
31949What did that portend?
31949What do I care?
31949What do you suggest?"
31949What else have I to work for if not for his happiness?"
31949What have we done, I''d like to know?
31949What is it all about?"
31949What is it?"
31949What is wrong?"
31949What lady?"
31949What news can I hope for except that Ronald''s poor, maimed body has been found?"
31949What on earth did I say?
31949What queer trick of fate, then, had brought her to Brown, Son& Brown''s in the spring of that year, and kept her there?
31949What sort of things?"
31949What was he to do now?
31949What was his excuse?"
31949What were you doing on Riverside Drive?"
31949What will you do?"
31949What wrong have I done to any one?"
31949What''s the matter?"
31949What''s up?"
31949What''s your name?"
31949When did your mother die?"
31949Where are your parents?"
31949Where does she live?
31949Where have I seen you before?
31949Where have you been all these weeks?"
31949Where is the hurry?"
31949Where is the need now?
31949Where''s the mazuma you promised Rachel?"
31949Which do you prefer to encounter-- me or an emissary of the police?"
31949Who are they who claim kinship?
31949Who could it be, she wondered, whom she would have to see there?
31949Who fired her?"
31949Who has reaped the reward of my misdeeds, I''d like to know-- I, an outcast and a wanderer, or you, living here like Lord Tomnoddy?
31949Who is Rachel?
31949Who is it?"
31949Who sent you to Winifred?"
31949Who sent you to her?"
31949Who were the two men?
31949Who will believe her?
31949Why any boat?"
31949Why can not you settle your business without pursuing me?"
31949Why did I not trust you?
31949Why did he conspire with you and my mother to carry off Winifred Bartlett?"
31949Why did he dread this girl?
31949Why did n''t you ask her sooner?"
31949Why did n''t you cough it up earlier?
31949Why did this same Ralph vanish from Vermont after her father''s death''by accident''?
31949Why do you never mention my father and mother?
31949Why does a wealthy and influential Senator join in the plot against her, invoking the aid of your mother and of Mrs. Tower?
31949Why does n''t the man turn over a new leaf and become good?"
31949Why have we left New York?
31949Why have you brought me here?"
31949Why have you given up your place on Long Island?"
31949Why should you give them five hundred dollars, apparently as blackmail?"
31949Why wait?"
31949Why--""Do you want to see me in jail?"
31949Why?
31949Why?
31949Why?
31949Why?"
31949Will you be ready in five minutes?"
31949Will you be seated?"
31949Will you do just what I tell you, without asking for any reason?"
31949Will you do this?"
31949Will you join me?"
31949Will you kindly explain how it arose?"
31949Will you show yourself sometimes to comfort me?"
31949Winnie, what is it?"
31949Wo n''t you be dear and kind, and tell me?"
31949Would Fowle keep his mouth shut?
31949Would he be playing the game with those good fellows in the detective bureau?
31949Would it not be best to leave them their liberty and watch them?"
31949Would not the firm, now that the whole business had blown over, reinstate her?
31949Would she be asked to sing, she wondered?
31949Would you care to see them?"
31949You admire the girl?"
31949You are a sweetly pretty girl, do you know?
31949You are quite sure of her words?"
31949You ca n''t prevent me doing that, can you?
31949You could walk twenty, could n''t you?"
31949You follow this?"
31949You want to know if I love you?
31949You will not adopt harsh measures, I trust?"
31949You''re not meanin''to stay home with your folks, I suppose?"
31949You''ve read of the Yacht Mystery and the lassoing of Ronald Tower?"
31949broke in Meiklejohn,"how can he possibly know that?"
37062Against him?
37062And after that he took a place down here?
37062And all this makes no difference to a good and gentle woman-- one of the gentlest and the best God ever made?
37062And to- morrow it''s pretty sure to come all right about Scruton, is n''t it?
37062And what did you find?
37062And what was that_ you_ were saying-- that about traveling across Europe and being at Uplands that night? 37062 And who may he be?"
37062And would you still?
37062And you pretend to know where he''d been?
37062And you''re on the river by what time?
37062Are n''t you forgetting something?
37062Are you sure that you saw him?
37062Are you sure you do n''t know? 37062 Are you sure?
37062At Genoa?
37062Beat me?
37062But I expect this search is harrowed, rather?
37062But I guess fourteen does n''t mean fourteen, ordinarily, if a prisoner behaves himself?
37062But I suppose you know we''ve got the man?
37062But can you doubt that he did?
37062But surely he''ll have to tell his client who''s behind him?
37062But what does old Charlie really think of the case? 37062 But you did see the man you went to see?"
37062But you seem to know a good deal about him?
37062But you''re Henry Craven''s old partner''s son?
37062But you''re been seeing him all this while?
37062Called Uplands?
37062Craven?
37062Dark, Miss Blanche? 37062 Did he really only use it for his cigars?"
37062Did she wait for him?
37062Did you find them?
37062Did you say you were there two days?
37062Did you see the person?
37062Do they claim that?
37062Do you hear our Roy, miss? 37062 Do you know how much it would mean?"
37062Do you mean that, Scruton? 37062 Does he_ look_ very ill?"
37062Even though he killed this man-- even though he came across Europe to kill him?
37062Genoa? 37062 Going to see Scruton, too?"
37062Guilty or not guilty?
37062Has-- something or other-- happened to him?
37062Have they run in some other poor devil, or were you talking about me? 37062 Have you looked in here?"
37062Have you only pity for the fellow?
37062How did he look?
37062How did you come out, and where are the enemy?
37062How do you know I went to Cook''s?
37062How do you know? 37062 How long is it, by the way, that they gave that clerk and friend of yours?"
37062How should I know? 37062 How?"
37062However bad a thing it was-- murder, if you like-- and however much he was mixed up in it-- not like poor Scruton?
37062I hope he had a daughter,said Toye,"and that you''re going to marry her, if you have n''t yet?"
37062I judge you did n''t care a lot about the city?
37062I suppose you can prove what you say?
37062I thought I told you?
37062I thought you told me this was a cigar cupboard?
37062I wonder if it was a murder?
37062If a man had done you down like that, would n''t you want to kill him the very moment you came out, Cazalet?
37062If he''s right about the letter, Cazalet, I should say so; presumably it was n''t from Craven himself?
37062If you break it, I break mine that minute? 37062 Is his wife nice?"
37062Is it a difficult thing to do?
37062Is that any business of mine?
37062Is that so? 37062 Is that so?
37062It does n''t look as if there was, does it?
37062It must have been for his watch and money, do n''t you think? 37062 It''s Blanche Macnair, is n''t it?
37062May I ask what you''re doing here?
37062Meaning it was no great friend you dreamed was dead?
37062Must I tell you?
37062Nelly Potts?
37062Nice of him, is n''t it?
37062Nor anywhere else?
37062Nor to see him here?
37062Not to go near him?
37062Now will you promise me never to marry Cazalet?
37062Often,she added suddenly; and then,"I suppose you sometimes dance in the bush, Walter?"
37062Oh, Blanchie, is that all you have to tell me?
37062Oh, do I?
37062Oh, he is, is he?
37062Say, did you see the cemetery at Genoa?
37062Say, waiter, what have you done with the menu that was in that toast- rack? 37062 Say, were they buried?"
37062Say, where was that?
37062Scruton? 37062 Scruton?"
37062Scruton?
37062Scruton?
37062Second sight?
37062See Cazalet?
37062Seriously, Cazalet, you ask us to believe that you did all this to screen a man you did n''t have time to recognize?
37062Shall I tell you why? 37062 Should we?"
37062Still, I judge you''re not so crazy as to deny that while you were in that house you struck down Henry Craven, and left him for dead?
37062Surely you mean just the other way about? 37062 Sweep, you_ do n''t_ mean to say you came by a German steamer?"
37062That you, Toye, down there? 37062 Then Scruton may be out now?"
37062Then he is n''t unknown to you?
37062Then it came to you in Australia?
37062Then there''s nobody there?
37062Then where''s the key?
37062Then will you explain yourself? 37062 Three or_ four_, did you say?"
37062To you?
37062Was it fourteen years?
37062Was that how you missed him more or less?
37062Well, can he prove it?
37062Well, my dear Toye, what do you think of it now?
37062Well? 37062 Well?"
37062Well?
37062Well?
37062What crime?
37062What did I say?
37062What did you hear?
37062What do_ you_ know about Henry Craven''s murderer?
37062What else could it have been?
37062What has that to do with it, Walter?
37062What have they got to go on? 37062 What on earth were you doing at Uplands?"
37062What situation?
37062What''s that about a hole?
37062What''s the use of looking in a cigar cupboard?
37062What?
37062What?
37062What_ has_ he done?
37062When did you hear of it?
37062When was this, Blanche?
37062Where did you meet the fellow?
37062Where were you when it happened, Sweep?
37062Which capital is it this time?
37062Which end will it be, then?
37062Which you mean to prevent?
37062Who are these people, Cazalet? 37062 Who saw him?"
37062Who should ask me, I wonder?
37062Who was he?
37062Who''s going to prevent me?
37062Whose is that, Sweep?
37062Why do the police think the other thing?
37062Why should he?
37062Why should n''t I be-- to him-- to a poor devil who''s been through all he''s been through? 37062 Why should n''t it?"
37062Why should n''t we go down to Littleford and get out the boat if you''re really going to make an afternoon of it?
37062Why should_ you_ be afraid of Hilton Toye?
37062Why? 37062 Will you promise to do nothing if-- if_ I_ promise?"
37062With a hole in the floor that might have been made for him?
37062Yes, dearie, yes?
37062Yes?
37062Yet it brought you across Europe to Craven''s house?
37062Yet you were n''t going to see Henry Craven?
37062You are n''t a detective, by any chance, are you?
37062You did n''t see? 37062 You do n''t mean to say he''s-- dead?"
37062You do n''t mean_ the_ poor man?
37062You get to London-- at what time was it?
37062You know when Mr. Toye called yesterday, and I was out?
37062You know, I had to go back to Italy--"Had you?
37062You mean Scruton? 37062 You mean the night some person unknown knocked Craven on the head?"
37062You mean to tell me,cried Cazalet,"that you believed my story all the time?"
37062You thought that, and you took it away?
37062You were rather impressed with him, were n''t you?
37062You''d stand by his side''to the gallows- foot''--if he was swine enough to let you?
37062You''d still stand by him?
37062You''re on the telephone, are you?
37062You?
37062_ Did_ I tell you I''d any friends there?
37062_ When_ did he go?
37062_ Who_ can it have been?
37062''Wo n''t you come back for another week, and see if we ca n''t arrange a nice little sudden death and burial for you?''
37062--about Henry Craven?"
37062And I''ll help you to help him, if there''s any way I can?"
37062And what night do you mean?"
37062And wo n''t that be nice when it''s all over, and Mr. Cazalet''s gone back to Australia?"
37062Are n''t you going, too?
37062Are you prepared to swear what I ask, and trust me as I''ll trust you, or am I to tell you the whole thing right now?"
37062Blanchie, will you come?"
37062But I rather gathered he was not going to be in it himself?"
37062But how did he stop the other man''s mouth, and-- how do you know?"
37062But how did you get out of the foundations?"
37062But what about some hole in the floor?"
37062But who''s your Amer''can friend, Cazalet?"
37062But you, Scruton-- you''ve been through a lot, you know-- you ought to have stopped in bed-- do you really want this on top of all?"
37062Cazalet?"
37062Cazalet?"
37062Cazalet?"
37062Craven?"
37062Did I ever tell you how it was I first came across old Venus Potts?"
37062Did n''t you spend nights in a log- hut miles and miles from any other human being?"
37062Did you hear the news?"
37062Do n''t you remember how the path ran round to the other end of the yard?
37062Do n''t you think we''d better go?"
37062Do n''t you think_ I_ owe him something, as the only man left to pay?"
37062Do you insist on hearing all that happened?
37062Do you realize that it''s quite dark now soon after seven?
37062Do you remember the row I got into, Blanche, for taking you with me once and simply ruining your frock?"
37062Do you see what the gardener says about the man who ran out bareheaded?
37062Do you think we owe him nothing now?
37062Do you want to hear the rest, Scruton, or are you another unbeliever?"
37062Ever hear of Franz Müller?"
37062Have I been talking in my sleep?"
37062Have you seen him since the other afternoon?"
37062Hilton Toye, edging in his word in a pause for a gulp of coffee, said he guessed he visualized-- but just where had those missing things been found?
37062How could she tell him?
37062I ask you, is it even conceivable?"
37062I guess he told you?"
37062I had meddled already; how could I give the alarm without giving myself away to that extent, and God knows how much further?
37062I mean, do you know that he is?"
37062I suppose you know?"
37062I thought you came round by sea?
37062I was wondering if you''d do something for me, Cazalet?"
37062If you''re right, and he''s not the man, should n''t you say that rather altered the situation?"
37062If_ you_ had a friend, would n''t you do the same?"
37062Is he out yet, for sure?
37062Is it a deal that way?"
37062Is it conceivable that he should go and do a thing like this the very moment he gets out?
37062Is n''t it Craven& Cazalet, the stockbrokers, down in Tokenhouse Yard?"
37062It was the first going, and why should I waste a week?
37062It''s just big enough for Martha and me; you remember old Martha, do n''t you?
37062Little world, is n''t it?"
37062Lunch?
37062Say, Cazalet, I would n''t be that old man when Scruton comes out, would you?"
37062Say, were n''t they rather intimate, those two, even if they had known each other all their lives?
37062Shall I tell you what he did?"
37062She had even to guard against an equivocally sympathetic voice or manner, as she asked,"How long did they remand him for?"
37062So that was where he had been?
37062Soon enough to take a hand- bag and a tooth- brush, eh?
37062Surely you shared a cabin?"
37062That brings us to Friday morning before the_ Kaiser Fritz_ gets quit of Italy, does n''t it?"
37062Toye?"
37062Toye?"
37062VI VOLUNTARY SERVICE"And why do you think he ca n''t have done it?"
37062What can he have to tell me?
37062What did that matter?
37062What did you think of him, Captain Aylmer, on the whole?"
37062What have I done to be saved by Toye?
37062What on earth made you think of him?"
37062What was it, if I may ask, in Mr. Cazalet''s time?"
37062What was to be done?
37062What were_ they_ doing, prowling about?
37062What''s that but robbery?"
37062What''s the matter?"
37062What?"
37062Where does it say anything about his being robbed?"
37062Where have you come from?"
37062Where have you lived?
37062Where''s that?"
37062Where''s your beard?"
37062Why should I force myself upon him?"
37062Why should he screen me, Blanche?"
37062Why was he so down this morning?
37062Would n''t you in my place?"
37062Would you very much mind, Blanche?
37062Yet if all this were true, what matter how the truth had come to light?
37062Yet who in thunder tracks a man down to rob and murder him in his own home?
37062You did n''t see?
37062[ Illustration:"What do you know about Henry Craven''s murderer?"]
37062[ Illustration:"What do you think of it now?"]
37062and,"Had he a beard?"
29629''Alone''?
29629A ship?
29629A telegram?
29629About Morocco?
29629Ah,said Pachmann, with a tightening of the brows,"a spy, then?"
29629Always at Paris?
29629And Crochard?
29629And I gave them an answer, did I not?
29629And Kasia?
29629And also the Mona Lisa?
29629And do our men learn nothing?
29629And he did depart?
29629And he has the mechanism with him now?
29629And he refused?
29629And if Germany refuses, you go to France?
29629And if I refuse?
29629And if he opens it?
29629And if the message had not been delayed,_ La Liberté_ would have been saved?
29629And if we wish to find you?
29629And in the neighbourhood?
29629And is there really such oppression as Miss Vard described?
29629And the hour?
29629And the men?
29629And the second theory?
29629And the young lady?
29629And this theory also was disproved?
29629And this was really given by the Emperor to Pachmann?
29629And what if I were? 29629 And what is that?"
29629And what is your deduction from all this?
29629And what will yours discover?
29629And you are in earnest about this conference?
29629And you do n''t even wish to know what it is?
29629And you expect me to pay the difference?
29629And you persist that you have no idea who struck the blow?
29629And you?
29629And your business here?
29629And your refusal of my first proposal is absolute?
29629Any objection to my waiting in front of the house?
29629Are n''t you of age?
29629Are we to stay here?
29629Are you cold?
29629Are you ill?
29629Are you possessed of any further information?
29629Are you really in earnest?
29629Are you sure that is all?
29629Are you sure the French do not suspect?
29629Are you sure?
29629Are you the proprietor?
29629Are you? 29629 As they did?"
29629At least you noticed the address on the letter?
29629At what hour did you leave?
29629At what hour does the service start?
29629At what hour was the next train for Paris?
29629At what hour was this?
29629At what hour was_ La Liberté_ destroyed?
29629At what hour?
29629Beg pardon, gentlemen,he said,"are you first- class?"
29629Beg pardon, sir,it said,"are you first- class?"
29629Believe what?
29629But Crochard-- who is Crochard that I should disturb all my arrangements for him?
29629But he does n''t suspect--"That your father blew up_ La Liberté_?
29629But his instrument-- his invention?
29629But how could he know?
29629But is there no way to put an end to such things?
29629But since you are of age?
29629But suppose I should do that,he added,"how should I live?"
29629But suppose you are defeated?
29629But suppose,Kasia persisted,"that the man who stole it should kill you-- what then?
29629But the baggage?
29629But to find the man-- how do you propose to accomplish that?
29629But what does it mean?
29629But what happened? 29629 But what is wrong, sir?"
29629But what was your bill, then, Aristide?
29629But who was it, and what was his purpose?
29629But who was this tenant?
29629But why should I have any uneasiness?
29629But you love that country, even though it does not exist?
29629But,stammered the Prince, staring,"do you call that liberty?
29629By way of the Cornice?
29629Ca n''t we do something for this poor fellow?
29629Can you expect him to agree to such a programme?
29629Cleaned the streets?
29629Crochard told you, perhaps, that I might come?
29629Cut and run?
29629Did he bring much baggage?
29629Did he have dinner?
29629Did he mention his destination?
29629Did he receive any letters?
29629Did he say that?
29629Did he see you?
29629Did not the Kaiser know?
29629Did you enter this room while he was here?
29629Did you go through the papers at the time of the_ Jena_ disaster?
29629Did you go to Munich?
29629Did you secure a description of this stranger?
29629Did you see his face? 29629 Did you think him a millionaire?"
29629Did you wish to see the purser or some officer of the ship?
29629Do any further questions suggest themselves?
29629Do you believe in this power?
29629Do you ever suffer from interference here?
29629Do you feel it that way, too?
29629Do you intend that I should open this?
29629Do you mean to say, Lépine,he asked,"that, in the face of these telegrams, you remain unconvinced-- that you do not see the danger?"
29629Do you mean to tell me,Dan demanded,"that such things actually occur?"
29629Do you not know me?
29629Do you not know me?
29629Do you not see that, unless my great plan succeeds, that action will have been an infamous one? 29629 Do you remember the number of the stateroom?"
29629Do you speak seriously?
29629Do you think it necessary?
29629Do you wonder that I love America?
29629Does that fact suggest nothing to you, Lépine?
29629Even your life?
29629Exclusive?
29629First,said Lépine,"permit me to inquire of Inspector Pigot how it happened that neither he nor his men heard anything of these two strangers?"
29629Fluently?
29629For whom do you take me?
29629Has it never occurred to you, Lépine, to connect these two disappearances?
29629Has she told you nothing?
29629Has there been any such interference during the past few days?
29629Have the tickets been returned?
29629Have we met before?
29629Have you a''phone?
29629Have you any news?
29629Have you anything else to say, Miss Vard?
29629Have you business with the purser or any officer of the ship?
29629Have you had a quarrel with any member of the crew?
29629Have you learned anything more of the white- haired man?
29629Have you still that hundred- franc note?
29629Have you yourself no ambition?
29629He is not a mercenary?
29629He is really in earnest about that treaty?
29629He is your man, of course?
29629He restored the Mazarin diamond to the Louvre, did he not?
29629Heard him, you say?
29629His duty to whom?
29629His duty?
29629His jailer?
29629How can I answer such questions? 29629 How can that be?"
29629How could he suspect?
29629How could they?
29629How could you have known?
29629How did it happen, sir,Lépine asked, turning to the manager,"that the notes were not deposited until yesterday?"
29629How did you discover them?
29629How did you enter here?
29629How do other men live? 29629 How do you know it was his daughter?"
29629How do you know that?
29629How do you know there is another one?
29629How do you propose to finish it?
29629How do your plans shape themselves?
29629How does it happen that you speak English so well?
29629How does it happen that you travel this time by a German boat?
29629How does it happen,he demanded sternly,"that you did not cause him to fill out a registration blank for the police?"
29629How far is the pavement below your window?
29629How long have you been in that business?
29629How long will you be in New York?
29629How shall I begin?
29629How would a great war help?
29629How would any one know?
29629However, you can assure me of this: if any such do exist, they are outside the law?
29629I am to open it?
29629I do not intrude?
29629I may take it, then, that you consent?
29629I suppose it was Crochard who arranged your escape?
29629I trust I have not kept you waiting?
29629I trust that you are not insinuating that it is I who am the traitor?
29629I wonder if you realise how dangerous is this game you are playing? 29629 I wonder what happened to him-- he is n''t a pretty sight, is he?
29629I wonder where we are? 29629 I?
29629I?
29629In what manner was the truth of this theory demonstrated?
29629In what way did these strangers occupy themselves during their stay?
29629In what way?
29629In what way?
29629Is any one here?
29629Is he to be trusted?
29629Is it all right?
29629Is it as bad as all that?
29629Is it by this way one gains the Frejus road?
29629Is it hurt?
29629Is it so serious as that?
29629Is she in need of saving?
29629Is something wrong?
29629Is there any source of information which you can try?
29629Is there anything I can do?
29629Is there anything else?
29629Is there nothing in the way of honour or position which you desire for yourself or for your daughter?
29629Is this difficult to make, father?
29629Is this the way to treat an old friend?
29629Is this your first visit to America?
29629It is granted,said Delcassé, in a low voice;"but is there nothing else?
29629It is sufficiently comprehensive, is it not?
29629It is, I suppose, an affair of state?
29629It was your father I saw you with?
29629Let me see-- what was it I said? 29629 Lépine,"he said,"have I ever failed to do a thing I promised?"
29629May I come the first evening?
29629May I have your card?
29629May I interrogate the cashiers, beginning with the one who was on duty at daybreak Monday?
29629May I sit down?
29629Mercenary? 29629 Must you go in?"
29629My dear M. Webster, do you?
29629My dear Prince, will you not sit down?
29629My friends? 29629 Nevertheless, until that''some one''appears, I trust that I am welcome?"
29629No? 29629 Not here?
29629Of Monday morning?
29629Oh, is it?
29629On what pretext will I move these people?
29629One of whom?
29629Perhaps you would wish to interrogate him?
29629Previous to his departure, did he visit the house at 80 Rue du Plasson?
29629Raving? 29629 Safe?
29629Shave them?
29629So it was you who listened at the door, that night?
29629So that these signals began at least an hour before and continued nearly an hour past that time?
29629So you are a prisoner, too?
29629So you do not like German boats?
29629So you have been left to amuse yourself,he said,"and, not succeeding very well, have come to me?
29629So you have discovered that, have you? 29629 So you have had your bad times, too?"
29629So you''re all right again, sir?
29629So?
29629So?
29629Some such demonstration as that of Monday?
29629South Africa?
29629Stop it-- but how?
29629Tell me, why did you think of that?
29629That is your final answer?
29629That she could talk to him without fear? 29629 That was the wireless man, was it not?"
29629That_ La Liberté_ was destroyed by this man? 29629 The Prince is a prisoner?"
29629The abolition of Kings?
29629The car?
29629The gentleman, I take it, is her father?
29629The girl had no companion?
29629The police?
29629The power of the press, is it not?
29629The private entrance, you say?
29629The sailing was from Cherbourg?
29629The same hour, in this room?
29629The sender?
29629The servants who prepared the dinner have departed?
29629The young man?
29629Their nature? 29629 Their telegram?
29629Then he, too, has disappeared?
29629Then it would be safe to destroy this?
29629Then what was their purpose? 29629 Then who was it?"
29629Then who was it?
29629Then you do n''t believe...."That he can destroy armies and all that?
29629Then you have not been always at Paris?
29629There are no private installations?
29629There is nothing to be done, I think, except to loosen his clothing and bathe his head and wrists?
29629Think carefully; is there not one who might have wished to revenge himself?
29629This is your first visit to America? 29629 To what lesson do you refer?"
29629To what struggle do you refer?
29629Uneasiness?
29629Was he alone?
29629Was she light or dark?
29629Was she not? 29629 Was that the reason?"
29629Was this interruption repeated?
29629Well, and the third theory?
29629Well, then,said Kasia,"if you do n''t like it, if you find it intolerable, why do n''t you cut and run?"
29629Well, what is it?
29629Well, what_ did_ he say?
29629Well,he asked,"what of it?
29629Well?
29629Well?
29629Well?
29629Well?
29629What are the questions?
29629What are they?
29629What are they?
29629What became of them?
29629What do Princes know of honour? 29629 What do you imagine to be the exact nature of the services of which you speak?"
29629What do you infer from this circumstance?
29629What do you know of Vard and his daughter?
29629What do you make of it?
29629What do you mean?
29629What do you offer in exchange?
29629What do you think of it?
29629What else did he say?
29629What has happened?
29629What is he doing all this time?
29629What is it I must do?
29629What is it you fear?
29629What is it you promise?
29629What is it you propose?
29629What is it you require?
29629What is it you say?
29629What is it, Brisson?
29629What is it? 29629 What is it?
29629What is that?
29629What is that?
29629What is the meaning of this?
29629What is the purpose of Your Highness''s visit to America?
29629What is this? 29629 What is this?"
29629What is your address?
29629What is your business?
29629What is your name?
29629What is your reading of the other message?
29629What language did he use?
29629What more did you want?
29629What proof?
29629What sort of a man?
29629What sort of man?
29629What was his business?
29629What was it they pretended?
29629What was the fourth theory?
29629What were they?
29629What will it be?
29629What will you do about their baggage?
29629What wireless stations are there in the city of Toulon, General?
29629What would you suggest, Lépine?
29629What would you suggest?
29629What''s in it?
29629What''s its number?
29629What, then, is to be done?
29629When am I to have my answer?
29629When did Crochard leave?
29629When did you discover it?
29629When do your officers start their examination of the passengers for the immigration record?
29629When does your paper appear?
29629When is the test to take place?
29629When?
29629Where I what?
29629Where are Mr. Vard and his daughter?
29629Where are the bags now?
29629Where did you get them, sir?
29629Where did you get this key, my friend?
29629Where have we met?
29629Where is Crochard?
29629Where is it then?
29629Where shall the conference with M. Delcassé take place?
29629Where will you stay?
29629Where would you conduct me?
29629Where you have failed, what is there I can do?
29629Where''s Pachmann?
29629Which side of the street was it on?
29629Who are you, sir?
29629Who are you, sir?
29629Who is the man?
29629Who is there?
29629Who is there?
29629Who is this Chevrial?
29629Who will make it? 29629 Whose fault is that?
29629Why are private stations prohibited?
29629Why did n''t father stop and look for me?
29629Why did you wish to see me?
29629Why do we go to America?
29629Why do you ask?
29629Why do you say that?
29629Why do you tell me all this?
29629Why does he do that?
29629Why is it you so love America, Kasia?
29629Why not? 29629 Why not?"
29629Why should they give us all this?
29629Why should your friends have any such duty to you?
29629Why?
29629Why?
29629Will you drink?
29629Will you give the card to Miss Vard as soon as she arrives?
29629Will you not sit down?
29629Will you put it in your room?
29629Will you tell us exactly what it was?
29629Wireless waves penetrate metal, do they not?
29629With equal intensity?
29629Would you call it that?
29629Yes,agreed Delcassé;"but how are they to be identified?"
29629Yes? 29629 Yes?"
29629Yes?
29629Yet there might be some, clandestinely built?
29629You agree, then?
29629You are a Russian?
29629You are a wine- merchant?
29629You are awake, then, my dear Vard?
29629You are feeling better, I trust?
29629You are in earnest? 29629 You are ready?"
29629You are sincere?
29629You are sure it is all right?
29629You are sure of that?
29629You are sure that all doors and windows are secured?
29629You are sure the tickets were to Paris?
29629You are sure?
29629You are sure?
29629You are thinking of last night?
29629You are well- known there?
29629You are, then, familiar with the theories in that case?
29629You asked the man''s name, I suppose?
29629You assert that?
29629You believe in this invention?
29629You believe so? 29629 You believe that?"
29629You could not, by any possibility, reconstruct it?
29629You did not bring the Prince?
29629You do n''t mind my talking frankly to you?
29629You do not fear me, Kasia?
29629You do not remember standing at the door, when it was opened, and saluting the gentlemen who came out?
29629You felt it, too?
29629You find it ample, do you not?
29629You followed us, then?
29629You foresee such a struggle?
29629You had no idea as to their origin?
29629You had no way of verifying this?
29629You have a description of them?
29629You have a good business here?
29629You have arranged a conference with him?
29629You have been long in this house?
29629You have come to arrange for the final conference?
29629You have friends, then, in New York?
29629You have had dinner?
29629You have investigated it?
29629You have placed this before him?
29629You have talked with him?
29629You have the proprietor of this house?
29629You have the receipt?
29629You have told no one?
29629You have watched the wireless?
29629You have your landing- checks? 29629 You hear?"
29629You heard nothing before the blow was struck?
29629You know, of course, that it is my duty to denounce you as an escaped criminal?
29629You mean the machine is not there?
29629You mean they are banished sometimes?
29629You mean you will not?
29629You mean, then,he said, finally,"that if any details we may discover hereafter fail to fit this theory, the theory must be discarded?"
29629You mean,asked Pachmann, almost in a whisper,"that you are alone here?"
29629You refer to_ La Liberté_?
29629You say you were at the door only ten minutes?
29629You think I can plumb the depths?
29629You threaten?
29629You will destroy one of our ships?
29629You will go to any lengths to do so?
29629You will not modify the terms of your proposal?
29629You will pardon me, if I speak English? 29629 You would not wish to use the interview before that time?"
29629You_ wanted_ to come?
29629Your business here, I mean?
29629Your help?
29629A great fool, is he not, my Prince?"
29629A joke?"
29629A little white- haired man?
29629A statesman, was he not?"
29629After all, was there really any reason why he should warn Miss Vard?
29629And after you''re ashore I may come to see you?"
29629And before that?
29629And can you wonder that Germany finds Alsace and Lorraine restless?
29629And if he has failed, do you know what it means for France, Lépine?
29629And where''s your father?"
29629And who was Chevrial, anyway?
29629And why?
29629And you, sirs?"
29629And, above all, who is this man who plans, alone and unaided, the destruction of our navy?
29629Are you aware that, in the case of the_ Jena_, wireless was mentioned as a possible cause?"
29629Are you not glad?"
29629Are you quite ready?
29629At what hour shall we land?"
29629At what hour was daybreak on Monday?"
29629Besides, do Americans go tramping about the country with knapsacks on their backs?
29629Besides, what would be easier than for an unwilling nation to suppress you?
29629But India, Egypt?"
29629But do you know what it is you are proposing?"
29629But even if there was a traitor, how would he know of this conference?"
29629But how can he have suspected you?"
29629But how was that possible?
29629But if he had no accomplice, who were the two men who watched the destruction of_ La Liberté_?
29629But perhaps you consider it murder to kill a man in battle, or theft to take the enemy''s supplies?"
29629But the installation is here, I suppose?"
29629But the other installation?"
29629But then, for that matter, what right had he?
29629But was there no other way?
29629But what then?
29629But where''s the Prince?
29629But why should one of my crew do such a thing?"
29629But why should the story Miss Vard told me interest any one?"
29629By a mine, set to explode at a certain hour?
29629By a submarine?
29629By a torpedo, then, which could be launched some distance away?
29629By what means?"
29629Can we get over the wall?"
29629Can we start at once?"
29629Can you not guess what that direction is?
29629Could anything be more wonderful than to put an end, once for all, to this waste of life and treasure, which is eating at the heart of the world?
29629Could anything be more wonderful than to turn all these armies of useless men back into honest and useful labour?
29629Could it be she?
29629Could it have been done by wireless?
29629Could the people choose, how many battleships would Germany build next year?"
29629Could you also hear words?"
29629Dan could do nothing; Dan was to be himself entrapped; and yet, how could that be?
29629Delcassé?"
29629Did they elope together?"
29629Did you hear me smashing things?
29629Did you hear the roar of the waters as they opened?
29629Did you see the man who just left me?"
29629Do n''t you get frightfully lonesome, sometimes?"
29629Do you agree?"
29629Do you imagine that any threat, any torture, could compel him to place the world at the mercy of your Kaiser?
29629Do you know what it is you are undertaking?
29629Do you know what it was, my daughter?
29629Do you know when it was stolen?"
29629Do you know where to find him?"
29629Do you think it wise to imperil its success by making it depend so largely on yourself?
29629Do you think the government of Germany would?"
29629Do you understand that?"
29629Do you understand?"
29629Do you wonder that our hearts ache for our compatriots?
29629Do you wonder that we dream of the day when we may remove those mourning wreaths from the statue of Strasbourg in the Place de la Concord?"
29629Even supposing that they had a hand in it, how was it accomplished?"
29629For of course there is such a woman?"
29629For what purpose do you imagine that Germany maintains this house, with its grated windows and steel- lined doors and heavy bolts, as of a prison?
29629From there, where would he go?
29629Had he not carried it through?
29629Had he not worked it out to its minutest detail?
29629Had the giant heard?
29629Has she gone out?"
29629Has she reason for complaint?"
29629Has there some baggage come?"
29629Have you considered, Lépine, that the finding of this second installation furnishes, as Crochard foresaw, proof of his theory?"
29629Have you illness?"
29629Have you learned no wisdom yet?
29629Have you tried to make them fit?
29629He could, of course, write Miss Vard a brief warning; but what assurance had he that it would be delivered to her, at least without being opened?
29629His present whereabouts?
29629Hope you had a good time?"
29629How came they among the first- class passengers?
29629How can one man bring it about?
29629How could an enemy creep unobserved past all these?
29629How did it happen that he was so familiar with spies and secret services and systems of espionage?
29629How did you know that it was he?"
29629How do you explain them?"
29629How do you like your work here?"
29629How does it happen that you are first- class, Kasia?"
29629How had he connected the inventor with the disaster at Toulon?
29629How had the person who assaulted Schroeder known of the conference in the Captain''s cabin?
29629How had the substitution been made?
29629How had the thing been done?
29629How had_ La Liberté_ been destroyed?
29629How is it to be accomplished?
29629How is it to govern wisely, if it is not always in close touch with the body, aware of its every need?
29629How long will it take you to secure answers to those questions-- authoritative answers?"
29629How many of the present governments would stand that test?
29629How many of your great men have come from humble life?"
29629How much had he heard of that conference?
29629How should a wine- merchant know so much about spies and diplomacy and German princes?
29629How was it the Emperor had learned so promptly of the disaster?
29629How_ could_ it have been made?
29629I may rely upon you, may I not?"
29629I think you understand?"
29629I was at Nice; I have been on the ground since morning; I have discovered....""Well, what have you discovered?"
29629If he only knew--""Is it necessary to go into that?"
29629In a word, did France suspect what had happened to_ La Liberté_, and, if so, how much did she know?
29629In what way?
29629Is he a madman-- an anarchist?"
29629Is he subject to epilepsy?"
29629Is it honourable to be supported by the toil of women and children, whose men you have taken for your army?
29629Is it honourable to live on the sweat and suffering of others, and to make them no return?
29629Is it merely because they are never careless?"
29629Is it not so?
29629Is it not true that most of your papers are controlled by wealthy syndicates, who use them for their own purposes?"
29629Is it really free?
29629Is that it?"
29629Is there anything more?"
29629Is there nothing I can do for you, my friend?"
29629Is there_ nothing_ you can do?"
29629It is a great thought, is it not, my daughter?"
29629It seems incredible to you that I should love my country?
29629May I see it?"
29629My papers are in order, are they not?"
29629No doubt you know a great many of them?"
29629Not the ordinary wireless, but some subtle variant of ether waves, some new form of radio- activity, which in some way caused combustion?
29629Nothing, I suppose would tempt you-- no wealth, no position?"
29629Now tell me this: what was done to prevent a recurrence of such an accident?"
29629Now will you sit down?"
29629Pachmann would disapprove, of course; but who was Pachmann?
29629Right down this street, you said?"
29629Shall I ask him also to check the list?"
29629Shall we go on deck and have a cigarette?"
29629Shall we go on, or shall we stop here?"
29629Should we be unable to agree, what will be your next step?"
29629Sit down, wo n''t you?"
29629Surely Monsieur remembers the affair of the Michaelovitch diamonds?"
29629That is worth working for, is it not?"
29629That will be just, will it not?"
29629The Czar did try something of the sort, did n''t he?"
29629The first: does the government maintain, or has it authorised, any wireless stations in the town or in the neighbourhood?
29629The second: have the wireless operators on any of the battleships noticed any unusual interference during the past few days?
29629Their names?
29629To flood the magazines meant the loss of a million marks; besides, why should it be necessary?
29629Vard?"
29629Vard?"
29629Was it Dan?
29629Was it her father?
29629Was not the whole plan his?
29629We have failed, then?"
29629Well known?
29629What are our police for, Lépine-- our secret service?"
29629What cares Germany about Morocco?
29629What did that sudden silence mean?
29629What do you mean?"
29629What do you take me for?"
29629What had he to fear?
29629What happened to the Prince?"
29629What has happened?
29629What has happened?"
29629What hope can an army, however great, have of capturing such a place?
29629What hour is it?"
29629What if Germany can treat our other battleships as she treated that one?
29629What if your friends knew?"
29629What is his purpose?
29629What is it you have to say?"
29629What is the bargain, this time?"
29629What is the news?"
29629What is wrong?"
29629What is your theory, then?"
29629What occurred?"
29629What of Ireland?"
29629What right had this Frenchman to stare?
29629What use would he make of what he had heard?
29629What was happening in that room upstairs?
29629What was it you were saying to Miss Vard?"
29629What was that power?
29629Whence did he come?
29629Where are they?"
29629Where did you meet him, Pigot?"
29629Where have we met?"
29629Where is Crochard?"
29629Where will you rest to- night?"
29629Which boat was she sailing by, he wondered?
29629Whither has he gone?
29629Who are you?
29629Who was Chevrial?
29629Why did Lépine think Vard was on the boat?
29629Why do you look at me like that?"
29629Why should a Hohenzollern travel second- class, dressed in a shabby walking- suit, and without attendants?"
29629Why?
29629Will you help me?"
29629Will you not begin at the beginning, my friend?"
29629Will you not sit down?"
29629Would it be too undignified for her to steal up again to that bench on the after boat- deck-- would it-- would it precipitate matters?
29629Would it matter if I brought them forward?"
29629Would these disasters never cease?
29629Would you know him again?"
29629Would you not say that the man who brought all this about was a wonderful man?"
29629Yes-- but second class?
29629Yes?
29629You are not deceiving me?"
29629You have noticed there is no key?"
29629You have your passport?"
29629You know, I suppose, that there is no longer any such land as Poland?"
29629You know, of course, how strained the situation is?"
29629You may have wondered at my remark with reference to that young man who was strolling with Miss Vard?"
29629You permit me to retain this paper?"
29629You understand its meaning?"
29629You understand?
29629You understand?"
29629You will not forget about my incognito?"
29629cried Crochard, his face suddenly red,"you can not believe the truth, then?
29629he stammered, barely able to speak for excitement,"why have you not introduced this man at once?
37314A Jap, is n''t he?
37314Alice in his hands? 37314 Alice, are you all right up there?"
37314Alice, are you all right?
37314Alice, how does it strike you? 37314 Am I made up to suit you?"
37314And abandon my imprisoned princess? 37314 And did they succeed?"
37314And now for the third time I ask you,continued the doctor,"will you marry me?"
37314And the chauffeur?
37314And the result?
37314And was there a Gong Schow in business over there?
37314And what about it?
37314And what is it?
37314And what may that be?
37314And you are taking her to Chinatown?
37314And you failed?
37314And you heard no noise of any kind?
37314And you will arrest him and send him up?
37314Anything the matter with Alice?
37314Are you ready?
37314Are you sure?
37314Better drop this rig, had n''t I?
37314But on the other side?
37314But where are the dungeons of this House of Delights, I wonder?
37314But where?
37314Ca n''t we go it alone, thin?
37314Can it be the hop gang?
37314Can she have gone forward to see what that shooting is about?
37314Can you find out in just what part of the house the doctor has Miss Montgomery concealed?
37314Can you meet me to- night at eight o''clock at our store on Dupont street so disguised?
37314Chinese?
37314Did I? 37314 Did n''t I?
37314Did you go to China?
37314Did you kidnap her, Garshaski?
37314Did-- did she give away what he wanted to know?
37314Do these men understand English?
37314Do you know such a man?
37314Do you know whose picture that was which you destroyed?
37314Do you mind if I take my supper at this table?
37314Do you realize that I mean to continue to order that screw turned until your limbs are wrenched off?
37314Do you say so?
37314Do you think so?
37314Does he know?
37314Does it always come out true as they say?
37314Firmly; and why should I not? 37314 From that long corridor?"
37314Got the princess yet?
37314Harry, my dear boy, where are you?
37314Has she betrayed the secret to you?
37314Have you accomplished anything?
37314Have you any idea what the motive for all this can be? 37314 Have you caught on to anything?"
37314Have you learned anything?
37314He is dead?
37314How are you going, Leggett?
37314How long shall you probably be gone?
37314I could help you in that if----"Well, if?
37314I thought you were going to China, doctor?
37314I wonder if there is anything too wicked for Dr. Garshaski to do?
37314I wonder what sort of a craft they are in?
37314In San Francisco?
37314Is any one in the box?
37314Is he really a doctor?
37314Is it heavy?
37314Is it so? 37314 Is that so?
37314Is the place deserted then?
37314Is there any end to the mysteries with which these Chinks like to surround themselves?
37314Is there money coming to the man who marries her?
37314Is this just a business club?
37314Is your man here?
37314Know him?
37314Learned anything?
37314Looks as if it might be the place,observed Old King Brady, adding:"But who owns the sailboat tied up at the pier, I wonder?"
37314Lung, are you badly hurt?
37314May I have my head free now?
37314Mr. Cathmor, is Eben coming?
37314Mr. Cathmor, would you like to drive in town with me to- night? 37314 Mr. Dawson,"he asked,"is there any other place around San Francisco which goes by the name of North Beach?"
37314Mrs. or miss?
37314Of what use can she be?
37314Of what use to consult them then?
37314Or person?
37314Sailboat-- rowboat?
37314Shall I pull up, governor?
37314Shall I start up?
37314So? 37314 So?
37314Suppose this Wang Foo wanted to marry the princess?
37314Sure you''ve got the right door?
37314Sure? 37314 Sure?"
37314The princess will not reveal her secret,she said at last,"and who can blame her?
37314There are thousands of pounds of hop here, but what do you suppose is in this big box?
37314Under what circumstances?
37314Well, Alice, which door shall it be? 37314 Well?"
37314Well?
37314Well?
37314Well?
37314Were you speaking to her in Chinese?
37314What about Volckman?
37314What are they about?
37314What are they talking about?
37314What can be the object of all these doors?
37314What can that mean?
37314What did she tell you?
37314What did you hear?
37314What do you know about that?
37314What does that say?
37314What is it about this unfortunate Chinese woman in the box?
37314What is it worth to you then to go to the trouble to make these inquiries?
37314What is it?
37314What is the matter?
37314What new organization am I up against?
37314What was that?
37314What was the old fellow''s name again? 37314 What''s your position here?"
37314What, a white woman?
37314What? 37314 When is he due here?"
37314When was the last you heard her speak?
37314Where did he go?
37314Where do we go?
37314Where is this House of the Seven Delights?
37314Where''s Alice? 37314 Which North Beach?"
37314Which means that you have charge of the laborers?
37314Which way?
37314Who are you? 37314 Who can tell?"
37314Who else? 37314 Who is Volckman?"
37314Who is he?
37314Who is superintendent of these stores?
37314Who told you that?
37314Who told you this?
37314Why have you captured her?
37314Why not?
37314Will I do as I am?
37314Will he remain here right along after that?
37314Will you marry me, Alice? 37314 Will you tell?"
37314Would he box her up and treat her as he has if he loved her?
37314You are Chinese on your father''s side?
37314You have perfect confidence in Volckman?
37314You see what that says?
37314You started to arrest him?
37314You? 37314 Alice, do you think you can get aboard the sailboat without tumbling into the bay?
37314Am I to be kept alone with this Chinese princess then?"
37314And your address?"
37314Any starting clew to give us?"
37314Are there two?"
37314Are you interested in it?"
37314Are you locked in?"
37314But I suppose you can not do the deaf and dumb finger speech?"
37314But did he still remember it?
37314But do you suppose it is still standing?"
37314But what became of Wang Foo?
37314But where was Wang Foo?
37314But why?"
37314Ca n''t you come down here?"
37314Can this and not the regulation North Beach be the place?"
37314Did Alice know this Dr. Garshaski?
37314Did Old King Brady get that boat load of opium?"
37314Did n''t catch the name of any street or warehouse?"
37314Did n''t see a soul; no need to ask you if you had better luck, I suppose?"
37314Did n''t you hear the sound of oars?"
37314Did she not sail then?"
37314Did you ever happen to hear him speak of Old King Brady, the detective?"
37314Did you think I''d sell out for any$ 5,000?
37314Do I work or do n''t I work?
37314Do n''t you know him?"
37314Do n''t you love your baby brother?
37314Do you believe he really knows anything about the princess, or is it all bluff?
37314Do you know anything of Alice?"
37314Do you know where the hiding place is?"
37314From where was the man speaking?
37314Has he given up the treasure hunt then?"
37314Has the partnership been dissolved, then?"
37314He pointed to the character and said in English:"I suppose you have n''t forgotten how to read your Chinese?"
37314Here or in front?"
37314How can that be possible?"
37314How could he ever have forgotten?
37314How dare you resort to such barbarous methods as this?"
37314How is Young King Brady?"
37314How is that loveliest of her sex, Miss Montgomery?"
37314How will you prove it?
37314I am in your hands, but I just want to ask have you spoken of the princess to any of the members of this club?"
37314Is that Chinese they are talking, Harry?"
37314Is there no possibility of Miss Montgomery being mistaken?"
37314Judge-- Have you anything to say, prisoner?
37314Judge-- Why are n''t you married?
37314Lawyer-- An alibi?
37314Lawyer-- I''ll defend you, Sambo, in this bigamy case, but what defense have you?
37314Lung?"
37314Me carry a bundle?
37314Miss Smart( after an hour of patient listening to a tortured violin)--Do you play a great deal, Mr. Sawton?
37314Nice contrivance, is n''t it?
37314Now then, what do you propose?"
37314Old King Brady felt that he had been understood, when the Secret Service man suddenly arose and said:"Will you excuse me, Mr. Brady?
37314Old King Brady was not the man to throw a stone in the way of such a character, for which who can blame him?
37314Otherwise why should he be going through that door?
37314Perhaps you do n''t know?
37314Shall we attempt to follow him up?"
37314Shall we go exploring and see what we find?"
37314She is ill?"
37314Shockit-- Does learning the bicycle require any particular application?
37314So Young King Brady was your deaf and dumb friend in the next alcove, was he?
37314Suicides for instance?"
37314Understand?"
37314Visitor-- What makes you so ugly, Tommy?
37314Waiter( seeing dissatisfaction on guest''s face)--Wasn''t the dinner cooked to suit you, sir?
37314Want to see them?"
37314Was it a Chinaman who was speaking?
37314Was it you who fired?"
37314Was n''t any one there?
37314Was the caution needed?
37314Was there more than one of that name in Chinatown?"
37314We are still hunting Garshaski; but where is this place you speak of?"
37314Were you his wife then, may I ask?"
37314What about Alice''s fate in the hands of that yellow fiend?"
37314What about that?"
37314What about the treasure?"
37314What about them?"
37314What are you doing in this room?"
37314What became of this woman of high rank?"
37314What can it mean?
37314What do you mean by this?"
37314What do you propose?"
37314What do you think of it?
37314What does it say?"
37314What has become of her, Alice?"
37314What is the matter now?"
37314What kind of a crib?"
37314What on earth shall we do?"
37314What then had happened to Alice?
37314What will you pay, Ah Lung?"
37314What''s his name?"
37314What''s this?"
37314Where are you hit?"
37314Where can I find you?
37314Where shall I lay for him?
37314Where shall we take you-- home?"
37314Which Gong Schow do you mean?"
37314Which door to choose?"
37314Which?"
37314Who fired those shots?
37314Who fired?
37314Who is inside?
37314Who was killed?"
37314Why should he do so now that he has dropped the body and is living in the world of spirits?"
37314Would you like to question him?
37314You have followed me in all this, I hope?"
37314You must be in love with Dr. Garshaski, then?"
37314You-- you-- what shall I call you?
37314You?"
37314demanded Old King Brady,"and who told you?"
37314he called,"can you hear what the governor is saying?"
34947''And what are you doing in this-- er-- hell?'' 34947 ''No marry this girlee?''
34947''Sahib likee mazinloree?'' 34947 ''She says,"Does the gentleman like his mother- in- law?"''
34947''This is the man?'' 34947 ''What did it mean?''
34947''What is your name?'' 34947 ''Why?''
34947''You are an officer?'' 34947 ''You speak English?''
34947Ah, and is he quite satisfactory?
34947Ah, now we are talking sense,replied Laurence''s companion;"you mean you wish to know why I requested you not to go to the police?
34947Ah, then you still think that Mr. Meadows is responsible for these attacks on his life?
34947Ah, then your name is Potter?
34947Ah,murmured Meadows,"that is all you know, is it?"
34947And Major Farnell?
34947And he did n''t?
34947And he?
34947And that is to beard the lion in his den?
34947And the servant, was he in the room the whole time?
34947And who is''the''Horncastle?
34947And you saw no more of him?
34947And you''ve not caught him?
34947And you?
34947Are you satisfied that I know something about him?
34947Are you sure that was a rat?
34947At any rate,he remarked, after a pause,"you will agree that we have reached the beginning of the end of this mystery?"
34947But how did the Thug get into the room, and how did he escape?
34947But how do you know that the unexplored secret passage does lead to the Squire''s room, as Meadows suggested that it might?
34947But how? 34947 But the fact that you have not said''no''shows me that my chance is not quite hopeless, is that it?"
34947But what of the patient-- is he progressing as could be expected? 34947 But who, then, is''Meadows''?
34947But-- oh, wo n''t it be too risky for you to go-- alone?
34947Did you hear,asked Lena,"that he called the servant Horncastle, and then corrected himself?"
34947Do n''t you know what harmless weapon it is that when skilfully wielded deals death more cruelly than knife or gun? 34947 Do you happen to know the name''Horncastle''?"
34947Do you mean it? 34947 Good Lord, sir, what shall we do?"
34947Good gracious, for what purpose?
34947Good gracious, what has that got to do with it?
34947Have you sent for Bathurst?
34947Horncastle, sir?
34947How dare you insinuate that I am telling lies?
34947How did it happen? 34947 How much do you know?
34947How?
34947I do not know; but do you mean to tell me that the passage leads only to the barn? 34947 I suppose I may use your name as a reference?
34947I suppose he came from the house, sir; where else? 34947 Is it the truth?
34947It was''it''that attacked me, was it not?
34947It''s undoubtedly in a lady''s handwriting,replied Laurence,"but how do you know it comes from abroad?
34947Major Jones- Farnell, I suppose?
34947Mercy, mercy,moaned the coachman,"surely he is n''t dead?"
34947More than interested?
34947Nothing,responded Meadows;"and ca n''t you see, now, who and what the creature is that is hiding in yonder darkness?"
34947Now, sir,said young Carrington, when, with the detective, he had left the sick- room,"are you quite convinced of your absurd blunder?"
34947Of course you will put them up?
34947Oh,cried Laurence,"is that so?
34947Or a Major Jones- Farnell?
34947Quick, what do you mean? 34947 Shall I read it aloud?"
34947Shall we make our examination of it at once, as Meadows suggested?
34947So I imagine, and-- why do you think your father was so upset when I mentioned the person I saw in the Marquis''s garden last night?
34947Sure you would n''t like to read it aloud yourself?
34947Surely not another message from our neighbour?
34947Surely you have not engaged a fresh servant? 34947 Tell me, what is he like?"
34947Tell me, you surely have not visited your neighbours without me? 34947 Terrible?
34947That I can not say,responded Meadows,"but it seems like it, does it not?"
34947That is the Squire-- do you know him?
34947Then answer me this; have you ever heard of a Doctor Meadows?
34947Then he is dead? 34947 Then he is''the''Major Carrington, of Madras?"
34947Then shall we go together?
34947Then you think we can, in your father''s case, exclude any idea of a secret connection with some society, such as that I refer to? 34947 Then, do you mean that, in your opinion, the creature in the barn was not the attempted assassin?"
34947Then, have you ever mentioned anything about the matter which you wish to keep a secret from me to a living soul?
34947Then,broke in the girl,"how does anybody know that there are four people at all?"
34947There now, sir,said Head to Laurence,"what did I tell you about a thief?
34947Those dogs are worth two hundred pounds, and-- the gent, what''s become of him?
34947Well, Daddy,said the young man, in a low voice, as he approached the bed,"so you are a little better, eh?
34947Well, Head,Laurence remarked,"seen anything of our mysterious neighbours?"
34947Well, I was wondering whether you knew she was already engaged?
34947Well, and so you have bearded the lion in his den?
34947Well, and what is it, if it is not criminal to ask?
34947Well, do you agree,the doctor said at last,"to my proposal that I should play the detective and solve the mystery encircling your father''s life?"
34947Well, do you doubt your own eyes?
34947Well, what do you want?
34947Well, what is it?
34947Well,asked Meadows,"why have you not caught him?"
34947What about Horncastle, do you say? 34947 What did it mean?
34947What do you mean? 34947 What do you mean?"
34947What do you mean?
34947What do you mean?
34947What do you want with me?
34947What had happened?
34947What happened?
34947What is it?
34947What on earth do you mean?
34947What visitor?
34947What would you say if I refused to let you go, my son? 34947 What''s this?"
34947What-- what? 34947 Where did he start, though?"
34947Where have you been?
34947Where have you seen that writing before?
34947Where''ve you been, Tommy?
34947Who has told you?
34947Who is this person?
34947Who''d have thought we should have met under these circumstances?
34947Why all these questions, Laurence? 34947 Why so?"
34947Why this enmity? 34947 Yes, Dad, it certainly looks like it; but why should you be so alarmed about it?
34947Yes, and what did he say?
34947Yes, but----"But?
34947You know that?
34947You remember how Horncastle said to me when I threatened to report him,''Do you think I care whether you tell the doctor? 34947 You remember the envelope addressed to Major Jones- Farnell that we found in the garden?"
34947You wo n''t be angry, will you, if I confess I told her to say what she did?
34947''Half?''
34947''You know you''re in danger here?''
34947A housemaid, for instance, with a slop pail?"
34947A. R., see?
34947Again, I say, who is not desirous of keeping secrets as such?
34947And do n''t you, too?"
34947And how did he do it?
34947And the discovery that the servant''s real name is Horncastle; what do you make of that?"
34947And the matter requiring my help?"
34947And the same applies to you, Carrington; is it not so?
34947And then?
34947And what is the urgent business on which he was called away?"
34947And why could n''t I have walked home or got a lift in the Everards''waggonette, as I suggested?
34947And why?
34947And you mean to say that the Squire is an army man, and yet not even his son knows it?"
34947Any fellow- magistrate with a grudge?
34947Any woman with whom there was some engagement or arrangement in byegone days?
34947Anyone of that kind?
34947Anything happened to the Marquis?"
34947Anything such as the feather the detective in fiction finds on the murdered man''s bed, which may lead to the detection of the criminal?"
34947Are you aware of anything having been stolen on the occasion of last night''s attempt at murder?
34947Are you aware, then, of anyone who is jealous of your father?
34947Are you bent on ruining me?
34947As a neighbour you are the most desirable that man could have, except----""Except what?"
34947But do n''t you think Miss Scott and I are the first persons to be considered?"
34947But then, if this were the case, what was Meadows doing in the yard at midnight, after his interview with me last evening?
34947But this detective whom you have engaged-- can you prevent him from making things unpleasant for me?"
34947But was the repulsive face at the carriage window that of their unknown neighbour?
34947But what can he be doing in Durley Dene?
34947But what have we here?"
34947But what''s this?"
34947But who is this person?"
34947But why on earth do you ask?
34947But why, Laurence?"
34947But why?"
34947But why?"
34947But you-- you escaped, then?"
34947But, by the way, how did you send me that message this morning?"
34947But, tell me, have you discovered anything in the nature of a clue?
34947But- t- t how does he know my secret?
34947But----""Or of a fellow named Horncastle?"
34947By the way, Horncastle is no common name, is it?
34947By the way, Mr. Carrington, I suppose you do n''t know if your father belongs to any societies-- of an unusual kind, I mean?
34947By the way, do you happen to know of any secret place of concealment in that building?"
34947CHAPTER XIX A TRUCE AND A PROMISE"Then you know my father?"
34947CHAPTER XXII WHOSE WAS THE WRITING?
34947Carrington?"
34947Come down at once, will you?"
34947Consequently, he replied,"That is surely my own business?"
34947Could it be that the Major had overheard them, or was it a case of mere coincidence?
34947Could it be, Laurence wondered at the sight of it, the weapon with which the unknown stranger had attempted the life of Squire Carrington?
34947D''yer think I care?"
34947Did I speak?
34947Did you see her hair?
34947Do I understand that you refuse to take my message to Major Jones- Farnell?"
34947Do n''t you know it?
34947Do you know anyone called Horncastle?
34947Do you know?"
34947Do you say you''re on his track?
34947Does n''t that look frightfully suspicious?
34947Does that satisfy you?"
34947Empty?
34947Fine day, is n''t it?"
34947For the matter of that, had he a maniac patient at all?
34947For who knew anything about the persons that lived there?
34947Gracious me,"he added after a pause,"what''s the fellow stopping for?"
34947Had he not been striving ever since the attack on the carriage to discover what his father''s secret was and why he stood in such mortal danger?
34947Had the cyclist whose identity he was so anxious to discover disappeared into the grounds of either of the two adjoining mansions?
34947Had the earth really swallowed them up?
34947Have I not had cause enough to make me irritable?
34947He naturally presumed that it would be a door, for otherwise what would be the meaning of the long passage were it to lead nowhere?
34947How came Lieutenant Aubrey in the cellar( for such it was) of an opium den?
34947How did this creature learn to ride a bicycle?"
34947How do you know?"
34947How long have I been ill?
34947How much do you know?
34947How often are not the sins of the fathers visited upon the innocent children?
34947How on earth do you know her age?"
34947How so?
34947How was it that they did not guess there was someone behind the door?
34947I danced five times with her-- all waltzes; but I suppose that was not wrong, eh?
34947I do n''t keep a dog----""Pardon me, but why, then, did your servant purchase a dog- whip only last night?"
34947I mean that I, the suspected, spied- upon man of mystery( that''s so, is it not?
34947I think you said your butler found the bedroom door slightly ajar when he entered, and discovered that your father was apparently murdered?
34947If he did, who would believe him-- a criminal and a convict of the worst type?
34947If he thinks he is in a position to assist us in our investigation, why not permit him to do so?
34947If so, did you happen to meet there a Major Carrington, of Madras?"
34947If so, how did he know that the would- be assassin was not even now carrying out his horrible plan?
34947In passing, I may say that my looks are not a good indication of my age, which is-- but what matter?
34947Is he in hiding there?
34947Is he really unconnected with our mystery, as he would try to make out?
34947Is it not only natural that I should risk my own life for his, particularly when I am a strong man and he old and getting infirm?
34947Is it, tell me I am right, that you are urged by the same feelings that I am when I refuse to take you with me?
34947Is n''t it terrible?"
34947Is that not so?"
34947Is there a looking- glass over the mantelboard?"
34947Is this professional jargon necessary?
34947Is this secret anything that concerns my-- mother?"
34947Is this true?
34947Is your neck very bad?"
34947It is n''t the doctor, is it?
34947It seems strange to have to bury a Royal child in unconsecrated ground, but what else could I do?
34947May I ask why?"
34947May I?"
34947Might not she have attacked the carriage on the moor?
34947Might not the story be entirely fictitious?
34947Might not the story of the market- woman in disguise, and the letter from Durley Dene, be false?
34947Mrs. Knox and Miss Scott?
34947Must I tell you so again now?"
34947My father is a magistrate----""So you think there''s a mystery about this house, do you?
34947Need I say that Mr. Goode was Sir Bromley Lestrange, Miss Goode a Miss Lestrange, and the child the''dead son''and heir of the Princess H----?
34947Nihilistic, for instance, or of a secret nature?"
34947No relation, I suppose, to Major Harold Carrington, who was formerly stationed at Madras?"
34947No, for what was that dark object in the far corner?
34947No?
34947No?
34947Of what had he died?
34947Oh, why did n''t I heed his suspicions?"
34947POTTER SHOWS HIS HAND 153 XXII.--WHOSE WAS THE WRITING?
34947Perhaps you are not aware that I am in a position to obtain your arrest on suspicion?"
34947Rather novel, is n''t it?
34947Should he play a game of"bluff"and pretend that he knew all?
34947Since it seemed that a woman was concerned, might not the grim skeleton in the cupboard prove to be a disgraceful as well as a gruesome one?
34947So Miss Scott was my accomplice?"
34947So the-- you know-- is dead?"
34947Suppose I call the men- servants and have you kicked out of the house?
34947Suppose we look behind that oak panelling, though?
34947Tell me, quickly, exactly, how much you know?"
34947Tell me, though, what do you know of Mr. Carrington''s past?"
34947That is hardly what one expects from a gentleman''s servant, is it?"
34947That is-- if you do n''t mind sitting on this sofa and looking over at the same time?"
34947The idea of conversing in any way with the woman(?)
34947The ordeal was quite bad enough for me; what would it be to you?"
34947The question is, how?
34947The question is, how?"
34947Then you think that cry proceeded from the mouth of the person whom I encountered on the moor and again in the barn?"
34947There must be a colony of them-- or is it possible that there is something else behind the panels of that wall?
34947This has surely nothing to do with the case?"
34947Was Selene Scott that accomplice?
34947Was he a marvellous actor, or was it possible that he had no connection with the Squire''s would- be assassin?
34947Was he mistaken in any way?
34947Was it fancy that, as he did so, he heard the closing of a door, as though someone had quietly left the room?
34947Was it not possible that they might be engaged-- or even married?
34947Was it possible that the advent of this Major Jones- Farnell had caused Mr. Carrington to take the remarkable precautions that he had?
34947Was it possible that----?
34947Was it that he really feared his patient might break loose and attack him?
34947Was she true to the devoted young officer in India?
34947Well, good- night, Mr. Carrington, or perhaps you wo n''t mind taking me to the sick- room?
34947Well, then, do you recollect hearing whether any of the maids happened to be about in the corridor at the time when the assault must have taken place?
34947Were we right in making that promise to Doctor Meadows?
34947Were you ever in India?
34947Were you not on the point of taking your oath that you knew nothing about my father?"
34947What I want to know is this: are you interested in my niece?"
34947What am I to believe?
34947What can be done, sir?
34947What can it matter to you?
34947What did it mean?
34947What did it mean?
34947What did it mean?
34947What do you mean by my''enemy''?
34947What does all this lead you to presume-- to deduct, as our friend Potter would say?"
34947What does it all mean?"
34947What else do YOU know?"
34947What else do you know?"
34947What good would a hundred detectives do when this creature is so determined to slay me at any cost?
34947What had become of the fleet- footed Thug, tracked to his doom by the fierce bloodhounds of the Marquis of Moorland?
34947What has happened to him?"
34947What has he done?
34947What has he to do with secrets of such great importance?"
34947What has the Squire done?"
34947What if I, and I alone, am able to reveal that secret?"
34947What is it to be-- Lena?"
34947What is it?
34947What is to prevent us from going at once?
34947What made you think that the bicycle would be returned?"
34947What might not these unscrupulous folks do when they discovered eavesdropping a man who had betrayed grave suspicions of the nature of their"secret"?
34947What was the builder''s scheme-- the cause of all the secrecy?
34947What was the meaning of a letter coming to him at the Dene?
34947What was the meaning of that oblong but rounded patch of ground being drier than the remainder of the road?
34947What was the meaning of this last purchase?
34947What was the secret that might-- that probably would-- be revealed in a few brief hours?
34947What were you doing in the grounds of our house at midnight, shortly after my visit here and the attempt to murder my father in his room?
34947What would Mrs. Knox say?"
34947What?
34947What?"
34947When the unknown figure was gone he regained his voice, and in loud tones cried out,"Who is there?"
34947Where have I seen that writing before?"
34947Where have you been; why were you away so long?"
34947Where was he going?
34947Where was he, and what did all these secret places mean?
34947Who has not?
34947Who was he?
34947Who?
34947Why was he so anxious that his guest should not explore the house?
34947Why were Laurence Carrington and Miss Scott so apparently intimate?
34947Why, Mr. Carrington, what''s the matter?
34947Why, did n''t they say that he was suspected of some murder out at Swiss Cottage?
34947Why, then, was there no print of the stranger''s foot at the spot where the cycle marks stopped?
34947Why, who knows but that he is the man who wages such warfare against my father?
34947Why?
34947Why?
34947Why?
34947Why?"
34947Would the midnight stranger prove to be one of his father''s own simple villagers?
34947Yes?
34947You agree?
34947You are convinced that nothing unusual was found in the room in which your father was attacked?"
34947You know my house, sir?
34947You know the saying,''Woman is weak''?
34947You promise?
34947You promised, did n''t you, that you would take me to see this mysterious Major of yours?"
34947You see, I am not afraid, or why should I have suggested going alone?"
34947asked the Squire excitedly--"not-- not''it''?"
34947cried Laurence sternly,"will you take your oath that you are telling me the truth?"
34947he cried in accents demonstrative of mortal dread,"did you see that face at the window?"
34947he cried, evidently referring to Carrington''s allusion to Horncastle--"you know that?
34947responded the Squire;"but what do you think of the fire?
34947screamed Lilla;''how will you like it when we tell the General where you have been?''
34947shrieked"Doctor Meadows";"had he found it in the Squire''s bedroom?"
34947the young man shouted,"you know who my father''s enemy is?"
33466''But what''s the use?'' 33466 A cat?"
33466A fake Watteau?
33466A rebate,Kennedy went on insinuatingly,"a commission on the bill-- you understand?
33466A specialist?
33466A yacht?
33466Absolutely?
33466Against_ you_?
33466And madame-- has she any idea where she is?
33466And she?
33466And that that picture of Faber''s is the real original, after all?
33466And what does it do?
33466And what is a geophone?
33466And why was she talking with Preston?
33466And you think this was such a case?
33466And you think,he queried,"that in some way this woman is connected with the strange change that has taken place in your father?"
33466Any trace yet of the Invincible?
33466Anything peculiar?
33466Are they living? 33466 Are you sure it was a Secret Service man?"
33466Attacked and carried off?
33466Authenticated?
33466Blow us up first?
33466But her valuables?
33466But how about the other one?
33466But how can you?
33466But is that all?
33466But the motive?
33466But they did n''t travel in the same circle, did they?
33466But what does it do?
33466But what other reason could there have been for her condition?
33466But why did she go there?
33466But why do you come to me?
33466But will you attend to that end of the affair for me, Walter? 33466 But, is it impossible, as some of the old scientists have proved to their own satisfaction it must be?"
33466By a Miss Fleming?
33466By the way, Dunn,remarked Craig at length,"who is that fellow-- over there with the woman in blue-- the fellow with the heavy braided coat?"
33466By the way, do you know that Miss Fleming was said to have had the original-- and that it is gone?
33466By the way, have you found out anything about the Baroness?
33466Ca n''t you have her get acquainted-- just as a precaution-- with that man? 33466 Can I help you out?"
33466Can you be here at, say, eight?
33466Can you go down with me now and meet Mr. Tresham? 33466 Can you go over to Brooklyn with me now?"
33466Can you locate Castine and that woman and come up to the laboratory-- right away?
33466Can you tell me why?
33466Chase,he instructed, when we were seated in the office,"you recall that advertisement of the lost necklace in the_ Star_ by La Rue& Co.?"
33466Chickens?
33466Could you discover them if they were?
33466Creighton,I repeated, looking at the man on the floor,"a dummy?"
33466Cyanogen?
33466Did I hear you refer to the Invincible?
33466Did Madame Dupres know the Baroness Von Dorf?
33466Did Signor Franconi-- ever go with them?
33466Did anything happen downtown?
33466Did she recognize anything, say anything?
33466Did you ever hear of the great diamond, the Invincible?
33466Did you never hear of a picture with a dual personality?
33466Did you see anything peculiar take place in the locker- room?
33466Disappeared?
33466Do n''t you see? 33466 Do n''t you think a cancer specialist would be more likely to help you?"
33466Do n''t you think we might leave the door ajar a little?
33466Do n''t you want more light?
33466Do they explain Rawaruska''s death?
33466Do you happen to know that girl, Cecilie Safford, that Broadhurst''s trainer, Murchie, eloped with?
33466Do you know of any enemies of his on the boat?
33466Do you know the new wireless operator who goes with us tonight?
33466Do you know what I''ve just heard?
33466Do you know,he whispered so faintly that it was almost lost,"sometimes I think there is a plot against me?"
33466Do you know?
33466Do you remember that bottle I picked up last night? 33466 Do you suppose she is as intimate with Creighton as she implies?"
33466Do you suppose that means the clever little Russian dancer who was in the''Revue''last year?
33466Do you suppose vibration caused it?
33466Do you think it is possible for an owner to make a financial success of racing without betting?
33466Do you think they have been doped?
33466Does Mrs. Seabury herself understand it?
33466Dope? 33466 Doped?"
33466Electrolysis?
33466Forsythe& Co.?
33466Friends of his?
33466Gaskell?
33466H- m,mused Kennedy, looking fixedly at Burke,"that complicates matters, does n''t it?
33466H. Morgan Sherburne?
33466Had n''t we better warn her?
33466Has that taxicab gone?
33466Have you a photograph of Gloria?
33466Have you any idea what the papers mean by that?
33466Have you communicated with the Baroness?
33466Have you found anything definite?
33466Have you found anything yet?
33466Have you found anything yet?
33466Have you found anything?
33466Have you heard anything new?
33466Have you searched?
33466Have you the letter here?
33466He wanted it thrown overboard?
33466Hello-- oh, Miss Tourville, how do you do? 33466 His own trunk?"
33466How about Benson, the steward?
33466How about exercise?
33466How about that other little woman we saw?
33466How about the Señora?
33466How about the other admirers?
33466How about those things you found in the maid''s room?
33466How can I ever thank you?
33466How could Leon have been killed?
33466How could anyone take it out, without being seen? 33466 How did you become interested in this perpetual motion machine, Miss Laidlaw?"
33466How did you find it out?
33466How do you figure that woman out?
33466How was she discovered?
33466How would she relish having that told to Mr. Seabury-- backed up by the possession of the key?
33466How''s that?
33466I hope you''ll excuse me?
33466I know,persisted Craig,"but had he taken out his naturalization papers here?"
33466I may photograph your copy of the Fête?
33466I suppose he did n''t notice what kind of wagon it was?
33466I suppose you are acquainted with Watteau''s''Fête du Printemps''?
33466I suppose you have animals here for experiment?
33466I suppose you have heard of the famous''Fête du Printemps,''by Watteau?
33466I suppose you have no objection to my taking some of this sample of the contents of the organs of her body, have you?
33466I suppose you know that I have a country estate not far from my daughter?
33466I understand,agreed Craig,"but why did they suspect your son?"
33466I understand,he went on, not waiting for a reply,"that you are interested in the case of that little Russian actress, Rawaruska?"
33466I wonder if he''s waiting for her?
33466I wonder what he dropped in for?
33466I wonder whether you know a Dr. Adam Loeb?
33466I-- in New York?
33466If that''s the case, who would be the most likely person to do such a thing?
33466If you get on the trail, will you wire me?
33466If you would-- how could I ever thank you? 33466 In what is Mr. Morehouse most interested?
33466Installing a wireless plant?
33466Is Mr. Allison at home?
33466Is it that you think it possible to produce cancer artificially and purposely?
33466Is that detectaphone thing out of business now?
33466Is there a Mr. Kennedy there?
33466Is there anyone here who might know something about him-- his habits, associates,--that sort of thing?
33466Is there anyone you suspect?
33466Is there anything about the matter-- of a personal nature-- that you have n''t told? 33466 It could not be delivered to a woman who was once the maid of Rawaruska, the Russian dancer?"
33466It does n''t follow that he was killed in his room, does it?
33466Just what is this force you call vibrodyne?
33466Loeb?
33466Madame Dupres?
33466May I look around?
33466May I use your telephone?
33466May there not be molecular, atomic, even ionic forces of which we have not dreamed? 33466 Meanwhile, I may have the key, I suppose?"
33466Miss Tourville''s, also?
33466Must pay-- we''ll never get anything on you?
33466Narcophin?
33466Nikola-- what is the matter?
33466No one suspects?
33466No peculiar odor, no receptacle of any kind near her that might have held poison?
33466No?
33466Not ergot?
33466Nothing?
33466Of course-- why not?
33466Oh, Mr. Jameson,I heard Mrs. Ferris''s voice calling over long distance from Briar Lake anxiously,"is Mr. Kennedy there?
33466Oh, Professor Kennedy,she exclaimed in a sudden burst of renewed feeling,"do n''t you understand?
33466Oh, ca n''t you help me find Nikola?
33466Oh,I breathed, with a sigh of relief,"that''s it, is it?"
33466Oh-- will you?
33466Petzka?
33466Sherburne, you say?
33466So-- you are a detective?
33466Someone might have lowered the trunk from the window by a rope, might they not?
33466Something afterward?
33466Still,I objected,"dancing even in the wild, stimulating emotional manner you see here need not be merely an incitement to love, need it?
33466Surrounded by all this junk that may blow us to kingdom come any second?
33466Suspect?
33466That holder?
33466That''s all right,I said in desperation,"But suppose they blow us up, first?"
33466That?
33466The door was not locked, you say?
33466The safety vault company have n''t complained?
33466The weed of madness?
33466Then you are, as I suspected, a detectif?
33466Then you have the telephote in actual operation?
33466Then you think Lady Lee was doped?
33466Then you will come down tonight?
33466Then you will take it up-- you are interested?
33466There''s a woman-- what? 33466 Us?"
33466War brokers?
33466Was anyone associated with Delaney in the syndicate here?
33466Was he poisoned? 33466 Was she conscious?"
33466Was there any evidence of a struggle?
33466Well, are you ready for them?
33466Well,I asked,"do you find anything there?"
33466Well,I said, when we were alone,"what is it-- a romance or a crime?"
33466Were there any other people on the boat who might be worth watching?
33466Were there any others?
33466Wh- what do you find?
33466What are they?
33466What are you doing?
33466What are you doing?
33466What are you working on now?
33466What could it have been, then?
33466What did Collette mean by her frightened cry of the''voodoo sign''?
33466What did cause them, then?
33466What did you do?
33466What did you say? 33466 What do they show to an expert?"
33466What do you know of the bankers, Forsythe& Co.?
33466What do you mean? 33466 What do you mean?"
33466What do you suppose he has done with the motor?
33466What do you think it is?
33466What do you think of Creighton''s motor?
33466What do you think?
33466What does Miss Allison think?
33466What happened to shake your brother''s faith?
33466What has happened?
33466What has it been used for?
33466What have you found?
33466What have you there?
33466What is he-- a Hungarian or a Servian?
33466What is it?
33466What is it?
33466What is it?
33466What is it?
33466What is it?
33466What is that?
33466What is that?
33466What is the case, Doctor?
33466What is the curse of Mansiche?
33466What is the matter?
33466What is this thing?
33466What line of work had he taken up?
33466What motive would there be?
33466What sort of places?
33466What then?
33466What was it you had the Señorita drop into his coffee?
33466What was it?
33466What was it?
33466What was to be done? 33466 What works?"
33466What''s doing now?
33466What''s that? 33466 What''s that?"
33466What''s the instrument?
33466What''s the matter?
33466What''s the matter?
33466What''s the matter?
33466What''s the matter?
33466What''s the trouble with Hayti, then?
33466What''s the trouble?
33466What''s the use of that?
33466What''s this?
33466When did he disappear?
33466Where can I see Gloria?
33466Where did you put them?
33466Where did you usually-- er-- meet Sherburne?
33466Where is my husband?
33466Where is the body?
33466Where was Benson''s room?
33466Who are these rapid youngsters?
33466Who are they all, do you suppose?
33466Who found her?
33466Who is he?
33466Who is he?
33466Who is it?
33466Who is she?
33466Who is that Mrs. Barry of whom Miss Laidlaw spoke?
33466Who is that woman?
33466Who is this Señora de Moche?
33466Who recommended you?
33466Who was her husband?
33466Who was it that went out?
33466Who was it?
33466Whose car was that?
33466Whose shop is that?
33466Whose yacht do they think it is?
33466Why did you suppose I let them go?
33466Why do you suppose he went to all that trouble?
33466Why not? 33466 Why not?"
33466Why should she have taken it?
33466Why that anxiety from him? 33466 Why, do n''t you understand?
33466Why, what do you mean?
33466Why, what''s the matter?
33466Will you be so kind as to step into the little anteroom with me?
33466Will you tell me what your precise business is in this hotel?
33466Would you mind baring your arm a moment?
33466Would you mind meeting him there again this afternoon so that I could see him?
33466Yes,said Burke, in surprise,"do you know anything about him?"
33466Yes-- I can do that-- but do n''t you think it is risky? 33466 Yes?"
33466You are Professor Kennedy, the detective?
33466You assume, then, that it was the blow that killed Evans?
33466You ca n''t make up your mind which one you care for most, then? 33466 You did n''t do anything more about that electrolysis clew?"
33466You do n''t believe it, then?
33466You do n''t know anything more about her-- where she came from-- her connections?
33466You have a theory of your own?
33466You have eaten nothing today, then, I am to understand?
33466You knew Monsieur Leon well?
33466You knew her, of course?
33466You know Mrs. Barry''s number?
33466You know her?
33466You know the jimson weed-- the Jamestown weed? 33466 You mean Castine?"
33466You mean that somehow a copy by Miss Fleming has come really to Jacot with instructions to palm it off on some gullible buyer?
33466You mean, do I believe her story-- of her relations with this fellow, Sherbourne?
33466You mean,I asked as the result of Craig''s quick thinking dawned on me,"that you told him Sherburne was_ your_ operative?"
33466You must go back to the boat?
33466You remember how Gloria seemed to stand in fear of Du Mond? 33466 You remember the mercury vapor light?"
33466You saw that?
33466You say you have never written a line to the fellow nor he to you?
33466You were present when they were demanding that his body be thrown over, were you not? 33466 You will think over my proposition?"
33466You''ve heard of anthrax?
33466You''ve seen it, I suppose?
33466You-- you''ll forgive me-- for my-- unjust suspicions-- Agatha?
33466Your husband was not a reservist of any of the countries at war, was he?
33466_ Was_ it one of Anita Allison''s many admirers who did this thing?
33466And Margot?
33466And if anything were ever discovered, what more natural than to throw the suspicion on a veterinary who was supposed to know all about anthrax?"
33466And what do I find?
33466And who would bear the blame?
33466Are they here now?"
33466As soon as the things are detonated I will get off, some way, by wireless the S O S-- as if it came from the fleet, you understand?"
33466Before he could speak, Kennedy asked,"Who was that woman?"
33466But a woman?
33466But had she been cleared from one peril only to fall a victim to another-- the one she already feared?
33466But might not the harm have already been done?
33466But then, I reasoned, would he have been so free in showing the key if he had realized that it might cast suspicion on himself?
33466But there was Allan Wyndham-- he''s a friend of the Allisons,--why should n''t they suspect him?
33466But to see the eyeballs turn green is uncanny, is n''t it?"
33466But was he a scientific villain?
33466But who could have wanted her kept on the boat?
33466But who put it there?
33466But why should I do anything to him?
33466But why?
33466But with such a scandal-- how can we expect it?
33466But with whom?
33466But, by Jingo, no sooner was I over the side of the ship than what do you suppose I ran up against?"
33466But, why?
33466By the way, has he told you his own theory?"
33466CHAPTER XXII THE ABSOLUTE ZERO"Is n''t there some way you can save him, Professor Kennedy?
33466CHAPTER XXVIII THE CANCER HOUSE"You''ve heard of such things as cancer houses, I suppose, Professor Kennedy?"
33466Ca n''t you help me?"
33466Ca n''t you imagine anyone who might want you detained longer?"
33466Can it be natural, I ask myself?
33466Comprenez- vous?"
33466Could it be that someone was using these new forces with devilish ingenuity?
33466Could it have been Petzka who was responsible for the fires?
33466Could it have been a suicide, after all?
33466Could the man have been drugged, perhaps, and then shot?
33466Could there be, I wondered, an X- ray outfit or perhaps radium concealed about the living rooms of the house?
33466Could they be of use?"
33466Could you take us up to Delaney''s rooms?
33466Creighton?"
33466Did Dr. Goode refer indirectly to him?
33466Did McGee figure that the horses ahead of him were setting such a fast clip that they would drop back to him before the race was over?
33466Did n''t anyone hear anything?"
33466Did n''t you notice that?
33466Did she suspect that we knew something or was she herself seeking information?
33466Did you get your photograph?"
33466Did you notice how it contracted his pupils almost back to normal again?"
33466Do you know him?"
33466Do you think there is any way I can get free from him?
33466Does it occur to you that he might perhaps think he was playing us for suckers, after all?"
33466Does n''t her husband support her?"
33466Had Craig deliberately let Creighton have a chance to get away, in order that he might convict himself?
33466Had Margot been simply a high- class"fence"for the disposal and convenient reappearance of stolen goods?
33466Had he fled, too,--perhaps forced her to go with him when Mrs. Du Mond appeared?
33466Had he or someone else got wind of the raids and tipped off Dr. Loeb?
33466Had it been by a deft touch on a nerve of her beautiful, soft neck that had constricted the throat and cut off her breath?
33466Had she accepted Miss Laidlaw''s invitation to call in order to look us over, knowing that we had come to do the same?
33466Had the message which we had seen her read at the start been from Du Mond?
33466Had the unconscious blunder betrayed something which perhaps she herself consciously did not realize?
33466Had we not heard him say that the signal was to be an S O S sent, as it were, from the fleet far out on the ocean?
33466Has some one of her friends taken advantage of her to learn our habits and get into the house and get it?
33466Have you found out anything?"
33466He had raised his voice from the whisper and I caught the Señorita looking anxiously at Kennedy, as much as to say,"You see?
33466Here, in this projector--""That is the transmitting part of the apparatus?"
33466How about that?"
33466How can we reconstruct them?"
33466How could it be done?
33466How could one ever find out now where she was, in the present state of affairs abroad, even supposing it were not a ruse to cover up something?
33466How do you explain them?
33466How friendly were they?"
33466How should I know anything of that?
33466How would after dinner do?
33466How would he meet it?
33466I have heard him ask fifty times,''Where have they taken him?''
33466I suppose you know how stray or vagrant currents affect steel and concrete?"
33466I suppose you remember him?"
33466I wonder what the man is doing?"
33466I wonder whether you are acquainted with my methods of treatment?"
33466I wondered whether someone had sought to conceal the fact that he had a copy of the famous Watteau, made by Miss Fleming?
33466I''ll see you, I presume, when the Señorita and Don Luis come back?"
33466If I should go out to Norwood with you as soon as you feel better, would n''t that be all right?"
33466If Rita had warned Faber against us, and Leila had warned Jacot, which had copy and which original?
33466If not that, what object could there be for anyone to cause such a condition?
33466In furniture?
33466In pictures?
33466Is it for fear that we might discover something which might be covered up?"
33466Is it mere chance?"
33466Is it merely meeting her here?
33466Is that it?"
33466Is the body still there?"
33466Is there any way of sending a wireless message from this place?"
33466Is there not something back of it?"
33466It was only a moment later that the hatch was broken open and we heard the welcome brogue of Burke, calling,"Kennedy-- are you and Jameson all right?"
33466Jacot leaned over confidentially to Kennedy and added,"Why not sell as an original, not this, but another copy-- a-- a-- what you call it?--a fake?"
33466Kennedy looked at the purser keenly for a moment, then asked,"Were they traveling together?"
33466Loeb?"
33466May I?"
33466May it not be a normal gratification of the love instinct-- eroticism translated into rhythm?
33466Might it be for the purpose of robbery?
33466Might not someone have taken the keys from his pocket, gone up to the room without making any noise and let the trunk down here by a rope?
33466Morehouse?"
33466Mr. Seabury, how long have you felt as you say that you do?"
33466Oh, Mr. Jameson, what does it all mean?
33466Oh, ca n''t you find out?
33466On it were the initials"R. T."Had Rita Tourville visited him?
33466Or had it been asphyxiation due to a poison that had paralyzed the chest muscles?
33466Or might it be for revenge?
33466Or were they both copies and had the original been hidden?
33466Or, had there been a"triangle,"perhaps a quadrangle here?
33466Or, have they put her up to getting it?"
33466Perhaps it will strike me-- or my brother, Lionel-- who can tell?
33466Perhaps the thing is all right, but,--well, what do I really know about it?"
33466Pine business-- eh?
33466Preston?"
33466Ritter will call for you?
33466Still, they might be inside the walls, might n''t they?"
33466The race had been won-- but had the problem been solved?
33466Then if he had dropped the rope, locked the door, and returned the keys to Benson''s pockets-- how about that?"
33466Then why the struggle?
33466Understand?"
33466Was Creighton afraid of arousing the jealousy of Adele Laidlaw?
33466Was Jacot hinting at something known in the trade?
33466Was Sherburne to escape, after all, and ruin her?
33466Was he afraid of a love forbidden by race prejudice?
33466Was he hopelessly out of date, or really ahead of his time?
33466Was it Faber, or Jacot, or was it someone else?
33466Was it Tresham, after all, whom she really admired and wanted to see?
33466Was it a fact or was it merely imagination?
33466Was it a sort of auto- hypnotism?
33466Was it because Creighton had gone off with her money, or was it pique because Mrs. Barry had, perhaps, won him?
33466Was it in his eyes, or was it merely his ardent foreign grace?
33466Was it merely to get this cattle contract, big as that was?
33466Was it merely to vindicate his professional pride at the failure he and the Coroner had had so far with the case?
33466Was it on account of the telephone call?
33466Was it really, I wondered, that Creighton, more than his motor, has fascinated her?
33466Was it to prevent anyone from thinking that the owner had ever had any connection with Rhoda Fleming?"
33466Was it too late?
33466Was she really afraid of him?
33466Was the plan to elope and so avoid his wife?
33466Was the"evil eye"of superstition a scientific fact?
33466Was there a baneful beam that could be directed at will-- one that could not be seen or felt until it worked its havoc?
33466Was there a power that steel walls could not hold, which, in fact, was the more surely transmitted by them?
33466Was there any significance in the mistake?
33466Was there some subtle, unknown poison which had hitherto baffled science, but which now he was about to reveal to us?
33466Was there such a thing as the drug of the evil eye?
33466Was there treachery in the crew?
33466Was this the"safe"poison at last?
33466Were we really on the right track at last?
33466What can I do for you?"
33466What could have been more evident than that she was seeking evidence and such evidence could only have been for a court of law in a divorce suit?
33466What could these women be thinking of?
33466What did Craig mean?
33466What did he mean?
33466What did it mean?
33466What did it mean?
33466What did it mean?
33466What did it mean?
33466What did she mean?
33466What did they know of the men, except their clothes and steps?
33466What do you think of it?"
33466What had Rita told him?
33466What had done it, I wondered?
33466What if he had been observed and someone were down there investigating?
33466What more natural, then, than for him to visit that locker when he returned from town, open it?
33466What shall I do?
33466What was his connection with Rita, I wondered?
33466What was it he had discovered?
33466What was the purpose back of it all?
33466What would they show?
33466What''s your theory, then,--foul play?"
33466Where had she placed the diamond?
33466Where have they gone?"
33466Where was Du Mond?
33466Which of them typified Creighton?
33466Who had been dining with her that fatal evening?"
33466Who had it been?
33466Who had the knowledge that would suggest using such a poison?
33466Who had the motive?
33466Who had the real masterpiece?
33466Who is he?"
33466Who knows but that he made her get it to save her reputation?
33466Who next?"
33466Who was foremost in that?"
33466Who was it who had conceived and executed this devilish plot?
33466Who was it?
33466Who was that?"
33466Who was the little woman who had been like a skeleton at a feast?
33466Who were these to scorn her race, her family?
33466Who were they?"
33466Whom was she shielding?
33466Why do n''t they suspect Wyndham?
33466Why do n''t they suspect-- some of the others?"
33466Why had Kennedy not foreseen this risk?
33466Why was he so careful about it?
33466Why, Kennedy-- how are you?
33466Why, do you know anything about it?"
33466Why?
33466Why?"
33466Why?"
33466Wonderful, is n''t it?"
33466Would anyone take advantage of the opportunity to tamper with that box of cigarettes on Mendoza''s table?
33466Would he succeed in whatever it was that he was planning?
33466Would he, perhaps at the last moment, lose his nerve?
33466Would she escape finally, after all?
33466You are acquainted with the test?
33466You are familiar with it, I presume?"
33466You are sure that you can detonate them when the time comes?"
33466You do n''t mean to tell me that you knew her?"
33466You''re off at seven?
33466You-- you will help me-- I mean, help Gloria?"
33466and''Is he to be embalmed?''"
33466he ground out, then paused, cutting the next remark short as he gritted,"What do you mean?
33466queried Craig finally,"so as to use it in identifying the real one?"
38663''And for to- morrow?'' 38663 ''But I shall meet you again?''
38663''Shall we go?'' 38663 ''So you do know someone here?''
38663''You have some letters of introduction, I suppose?'' 38663 And Carmen Valeri,"Hanaud asked in a pause;"is she troublesome this season?"
38663And how many men at the Semiramis ball were dressed as apaches and wore masks? 38663 And in time, I suppose,"he remarked casually,"you will perhaps ask him?"
38663And it did vanish?
38663And to whom did you send it?
38663And what did he see?
38663And what is life without a newspaper? 38663 And what was being given?"
38663And when did you go home?
38663And when may we expect Miss Carew?
38663And you did know the man?
38663And you-- does this room suggest nothing to you? 38663 Another place, Burton, at once,"he cried, and as soon as he and Hanaud were alone:"What good wind blows you to London?"
38663Are you sure of this?
38663Are you?
38663At dinner?
38663At luncheon?
38663At the end of the second act?
38663At this hour, too?
38663But did you not also hear at this trial of yours that pearls can be peeled like an onion? 38663 But how are they known?"
38663But your valet?
38663By the way, what is the number of Calladine''s house?
38663Can you imagine a safer hiding- place? 38663 Can you?"
38663Colour- dreams?
38663Did he notice you, do you think?
38663Did you know that, Miss Carew?
38663Do you believe in omens?
38663Do you dream, my friend? 38663 Do you mean that you sleep here alone?"
38663Do you remember to whom?
38663Early this morning, when you left this room, you told Mr. Calladine that you would wait at the Semiramis until he telephoned to you?
38663For what?
38663How long have you known?
38663I?
38663In the library, when you were writing letters, did you not one day lift your head and see him?
38663It''s found?
38663Mr. Calladine is in?
38663Not in the dining- table at all, then?
38663Now, why?
38663Now,he continued,"you are sure that you have seen this man?"
38663On the promenade deck? 38663 Perhaps,"said Hanaud with a smile,"perhaps, my friend-- what?
38663Shall we go?
38663Shall we see what it says?
38663She is to stay here in London, then?
38663Should I have stolen this, should I have come to you wearing it, if I had stolen the pearls, if I had--and she stopped--"if my story were not true?"
38663Then how do you come to be wearing this?
38663Then what will your confession do beyond-- I quote your English idiom-- putting you in the coach?
38663Then why does n''t he? 38663 There was then to your thinking no temptation of jewels, no theft, no murder-- in a word, no Celymène?
38663Was it at breakfast that you saw him?
38663Was the safe empty?
38663We will not go in, I think, eh?
38663Well,he asked,"and what is it that you have to say to the police, miss?
38663Well?
38663What are you saying?
38663What did you do?
38663What do you mean? 38663 What does that mean?"
38663What does this outrage mean?
38663What has happened?
38663What if the envelope gets lost?
38663What is it you really want, sir?
38663What is it?
38663What is that?
38663What name shall I say?
38663What name?
38663What opera do they play?
38663What was it?
38663What''s the matter?
38663What--?
38663When was that?
38663Where?
38663Who shall say that those pearls are not already in one of the queer little back streets of Amsterdam, undergoing their transformation?
38663Why did n''t you come with your story then?
38663Why?
38663Why?
38663Why?
38663Why?
38663With your servants, of course?
38663Would he?
38663Yes?
38663Yes?
38663Yes?
38663Yes?
38663Yes?
38663Yet when he telephoned, you had gone out?
38663You are here, too, are you?
38663You are quite sure?
38663You crossed on the_ Lucania_ from New York?
38663You do n''t even remember when?
38663You had locked it away?
38663You have an idea?
38663You make a decoction of it, I suppose?
38663You remember the woman I stared at? 38663 You remember when I stopped dancing suddenly?"
38663You see nothing?
38663You telephone, to the Semiramis, of course?
38663You will let me hear from you?
38663You will?
38663Your cab?
38663''Did I tell you that I landed at Liverpool this morning?
38663''Why?''
38663A hundred at the least?"
38663But at five o''clock he said as he drank his tea:"You know, of course, that we go to the opera to- night?"
38663But can you realise what it must mean to a girl who is going to sing it for the first time in Covent Garden?"
38663But have you ever stolen before?"
38663But what could she do?
38663Calladine?"
38663Calladine?"
38663Can you tell me why?"
38663Did he pass you when you sat in your deck- chair, or did you pass him when he sat in his chair?"
38663Do n''t you, too, feel something like that?
38663Do we?"
38663Do you see that our pretty young friend, Joan Carew, is singing in the rôle of the page?
38663Do you understand that?"
38663Do you want to know how stupid she is?
38663For a little while a few people asked:''What has become of Calladine?''
38663Have you no ideas?"
38663He sees himself step upon the stage, and who else meets him but the china figure from his mantelpiece?"
38663His body from head to foot seemed to Ricardo to be expressing the question,"Have I found it?"
38663I am not sure-- but is it not that Celymène is posing before you?"
38663Is it not that she is beautiful?"
38663Livingstone, I presume?''"
38663Livingstone?"
38663Meanwhile, we can enjoy ourselves, eh?"
38663No?
38663She laughed again as she saw the cloak about my shoulders, a delicious gurgle of amusement, and I said to her:"''May I dance with you?''
38663She was awake?"
38663That is all?"
38663That seems a small thing to you?"
38663That you went into the room to steal, and that you were attacked by two strangers, dressed as apaches, and masked?
38663Then Ricardo asked:"But have you evidence enough?"
38663Then he asked, and his voice was hard:"And is that all you have to tell me?"
38663Then recollect your dreams?
38663We always seem to hit upon something appropriate, do n''t we?"
38663What did you do between five and half- past eight?"
38663What if, after all, she was implicated in the murder and the theft?
38663Where''s your evidence against me?"
38663Who is going to burgle the property- room of Covent Garden?
38663Who is going to look for a priceless string of pearls amongst the stage jewels of an opera house?"
38663Who shall say that the rooms in the Adelphi will not be given up?"
38663Will they be believed?"
38663You had something hidden under your foot?"
38663You have the picture quite clear?"
31578''Do n''t you mean to do something for him?'' 31578 ''Had you not better throw the water yourself?''
31578''On this day at the Colonnade''--on what day? 31578 ''Then he did remember?''
31578''We are going to leave this house?'' 31578 ''What does he mean?''
31578''What''s this?'' 31578 ''_ You remember that supper?_''"As the word rang out again I threw wide the door.
31578Always blue? 31578 Am I mad or has the devil joined in the pursuit against me?
31578And Dorothy?
31578And I? 31578 And Quimby?
31578And do you think I care for that? 31578 And have the whole house about our ears?
31578And how came she in here?
31578And if she refuses?
31578And is that all you can tell us? 31578 And so the young gentleman had not the courage to come again himself?"
31578And that was where you left him?
31578And then?
31578And what is that?
31578And what is this young gentleman''s name?
31578And what of her?
31578And when will you be back?
31578And where is that?
31578And you believed her?
31578And you, madam?
31578And your mother?
31578Another recollection?
31578Are you done?
31578Asleep?
31578At what time did this fire start?
31578Barbara''s son?
31578But do n''t you know?
31578But how can you reach her? 31578 But how will you be able to influence Miss Camerden to come down?"
31578But when I am in the cellar, what then?
31578But where can I get it?
31578But why can not I go to my room? 31578 But you sometimes went into the extension?"
31578But you''ve heard of the room?
31578Ca n''t we? 31578 Can you go through the ceremony of marriage?"
31578Careless, eh? 31578 Certainly; did n''t you recognise him?"
31578Could I ask alms or borrow what I could not pay? 31578 Daughter of whom?"
31578Dead?
31578Did Mrs. Latimer tell you?
31578Did he say it was Miss Camerden?
31578Did n''t it drop from your coat- pocket?
31578Did you expect to? 31578 Do you know, missus, I shall have to stay here all night?
31578Do you not wish to speak to him?
31578Do you recognise the hall?
31578Do you remember the dream he related for the delectation of such as would listen?
31578Do you see these bits from a papered wall?
31578Do you think she will recognise your right to summon her to an interview?
31578Do you think so?
31578Do you want me to wash the dishes? 31578 Does Miss Murray still cherish the expectation of being married to- day?
31578Does Miss Murray wear white to- night?
31578Does the sight of him recall anything?
31578Dreadful? 31578 Fire, with a man like you in the house?"
31578First, let me ask,said I,"who has access to your rooms besides your maid?"
31578Frances? 31578 Good likeness, eh?"
31578Had you not better tell me his name?
31578Has the gentleman any appointment here?
31578Have n''t you been in any of the rooms there,--Number 3, for instance?
31578Have you any instructions for me?
31578Have you any suggestions to offer? 31578 Have you anything more to say or do before you leave these rooms?"
31578Have you compared this notice,I pursued,"with such others as you find every day in the papers?"
31578Have you ever heard any one describe this room?
31578Have you looked in that little box since you took it from my hair?
31578Have you no friends?
31578Have you this notice with you?
31578He coughed and----"And what?
31578He? 31578 He?"
31578How came you to know?
31578How can I tell? 31578 How can I, when there falls from everything I touch the devilish thing which took away the life I hated?"
31578How is Miss Murray?
31578How many?
31578How should he know Miss Camerden?
31578How was this lady dressed?
31578How would you set to work? 31578 I pick up?"
31578I?
31578In the house?
31578In the office?
31578In what direction, then, do your suspicions turn?
31578Is it refuge you want?
31578Is it? 31578 Is it?"
31578Is n''t that a bottle to make your eyes dance? 31578 Is n''t there another hall?
31578Is not Miss Glover wealthy? 31578 Is there anything I can do to serve you?"
31578Is this your only book?
31578It was the recipe, then, and not the obituary notice which attracted your attention the night before?
31578Jake, ai n''t you got a match?
31578Jake, can I believe you?
31578Jake? 31578 Lost in the fire?"
31578May I ask who is speaking to me?
31578May n''t I help him look? 31578 Miss Murray?"
31578Money? 31578 Mr. Quimby, did Mrs. Demarest come to the house with Miss Demarest?"
31578Nephew?
31578No beer? 31578 No,"I returned,"not on my own business, but on that of a young gent----""Any one whose name is written here?"
31578No; why, what is that?
31578Not there?
31578Now will you answer my former question? 31578 Oh, what is the matter with me?"
31578Oh, where is Minnie? 31578 On the rear corridor?"
31578On your own business?
31578One of the Witherspoon boys?
31578One of the women now in this house?
31578One that you can tell me?
31578Or some one should succeed in finding----Halloo, what''s that?
31578Or will it be enough if my wife accompanies her?
31578Physically, do you mean, or mentally?
31578Remember that a word might raise suspicion, and that in a case like this----Halloa, what''s that?
31578Shall I go?
31578Shall I not look and see where the girls are? 31578 Shall I take the young lady up myself?"
31578Shall we go up?
31578She was in here just now, was she not?
31578She? 31578 Susan, are you going back on me now?"
31578Tell what paper was on the wall?
31578Then I am to stay in the hall?
31578Then you did not see the woman who died in these rooms?
31578Then you know his name?
31578Then you know it to be empty?
31578Then you were in the house?
31578Then, how came he to be looking out of your window just before the fire broke out?
31578There is room below it for your name and that of your mother, but the space is blank, do you see?
31578There were but eight,faltered the lawyer;"that means, then, all?"
31578They? 31578 This dream- maiden was a woman?"
31578This woman has something to say, or why should she have asked to be confronted with you? 31578 This?"
31578Two rooms; why two? 31578 Warn?"
31578Was it necessary to go hungry?
31578Was it?
31578Was n''t it at the left of the large folding doors and midway to the wall?
31578Was she veiled?
31578Was that Beaton?
31578Was-- was not the door locked?
31578Well?
31578Well?
31578Were we not close enough to discovery, without drawing the attention of the police by such an unnecessary murder? 31578 What are you going to do with-- with Dorothy?"
31578What are you going to do with_ those_?
31578What can I do to oblige you?
31578What could you say?
31578What do you say, Gilbertine?
31578What has happened?
31578What is it now?
31578What is your name?
31578What news?
31578What rooms? 31578 What shall I answer this man if he asks me why I continued to remain in a spot where I have so little business?"
31578What should I know about that man Quimby''s dreadful doings?
31578What story? 31578 What woman, Lydia?
31578What''s that? 31578 What''s this?
31578What''s up? 31578 What''s wrong?"
31578When was that? 31578 Where are your brothers?"
31578Where did that-- that_ thing_ come from?
31578Where is 32?
31578Where is Gilbertine?
31578Where is Quimby?
31578Where shall we go?
31578Where was this vial found?
31578Where''s the money?
31578Where?
31578Which window was it?
31578Who did this overhauling?
31578Who is John Graham?
31578Who saw these two come in?
31578Who was that woman?
31578Why do you ask that? 31578 Why not wait till morning?"
31578Why should a handsome devil like that be treated with any more consideration than another? 31578 Why?
31578Why?
31578Will bed and supper be provided for me here?
31578Will you dance the next waltz with me?
31578Will you give me its number?
31578Yes; where are you?
31578You believe she died from swallowing that drop?
31578You can, of course, inform me where you procured this clipping which you say you brought into the house?
31578You do not feel yourself worthy?
31578You had bought_ that_?
31578You have been there? 31578 You have n''t heard what I''ve said about that?"
31578You know me?
31578You know that? 31578 You remember the vision I had the morning when I was sick?"
31578You saw Quimby,he repeated;"saw his face distinctly looking toward your room from one of the stable windows?"
31578You want to hear the letter?
31578You were at the breakfast- table yesterday morning?
31578You wish it?
31578You''re asking a good deal, are n''t you? 31578 Your name?"
31578_ The ruby has been found!_ Do you want to see the culprit, for there is a culprit? 31578 ''But I can trust you not to tell him?'' 31578 ''Is he spending all this time ransacking the rooms? 31578 ''Where did you get it?'' 31578 ''Would it interest you to know which half?'' 31578 ''Yet if I had had a dollar more or even a ring worth a dollar or so, I might have----Theresa, have you any money at all? 31578 ( Did I say that I had risen when the latter sat?) 31578 A flying from herself or from_ it_? 31578 After Mr. Armstrong went into the room, or before?
31578Alone?
31578And do you mean to say that this room has not been redecorated in ten years?"
31578And how did you repay this confidence on my part?
31578And now you?
31578And now, who''s the boy in the window?
31578And why did I prefer to await developments rather than ask the simplest question of any one about me?
31578And why did we not hear her strident and aggressive tones rising in angry remonstrance at our intrusion?
31578Anguish?
31578Are mothers dearer than sweethearts?
31578At all events, the action drew general attention and caused an instant silence, broken the next minute by an ardent cry:"So your search was futile?"
31578Beaton, am I wrong?"
31578Blake?"
31578But Eunice had a spirit like an angel, and, drawing near him, she said:"Is there anything I can do for you, Cousin John?"
31578But after that do I need to say why I am a wife-- why I am_ his_ wife?"
31578But could I prove it?
31578But if Luke is gone, and William, and Hector, and Barbara''s boy, and Janet,_ how much does that leave for me_?"
31578But if so, what warrant have we that she was not lured there, slaughtered, and made to seem the victim of accident by this unscrupulous man and woman?
31578But if they offered to submit to this themselves?"
31578But what choice?
31578But what device?
31578But where is 32?"
31578But where?
31578But where?
31578But who could have printed this thing and who was the man who put it into my hand?
31578But whose hands?
31578But would it come at all?
31578But, had I interpreted that strong, nervous pressure aright?
31578Ca n''t say much to us from canvas, eh?"
31578Ca n''t you say so?
31578Can I do nothing for your comfort or for-- for the child''s?"
31578Can you deny that, or that you stepped aside while I ran in and gave my mother another hug?
31578Can you read the names by such a light?"
31578Can you say, John?
31578Can you say, Luke?
31578Can you see it from this veranda?"
31578Can you tell me?"
31578Can you understand my forgetting a matter of so much importance?"
31578Can you understand this amazing, this unheard- of circumstance?
31578Could I have dreamed all that?"
31578Could I stand the suspense of the impending interview?
31578Could her eye rest on mine, even in this cold and perfunctory manner, if the drop which could separate us for ever lay concealed over her heart?
31578Could she have glided in by me unperceived and thus found her way into the bedroom from which I afterward saw her issue?
31578Could the seemingly impossible be made possible and the unexplainable receive a solution satisfying to a rational mind?
31578Darrow, you had it; what did you do with it?"
31578Deane?"
31578Dear, will you let me make you comfortable in the conservatory while I talk for five minutes with Dorothy?"
31578Delicate business, this; or were they both deceived and the man just a good- humoured silly?
31578Did I expect to find him seated at one of the tables?
31578Did I find the ruby?
31578Did he fire at you?"
31578Did n''t he know what I had suffered, was suffering?
31578Did n''t he know what in all probability this missing girl had with her?
31578Did n''t you see her?
31578Did n''t you see him show me the ring?"
31578Did not your mother die in the woods?
31578Did she hear him?
31578Did the other hesitate?
31578Did you ever hear the cry made by a wounded man when the cup of cool water for which he has long agonised is brought suddenly before his eyes?
31578Did you notice how bright and happy she looked when the lights sprang up?
31578Did you notice which end of the table he ignored when relating this dramatic episode?"
31578Did you think there was a woman in this room?"
31578Do I look fit to enter among the dancers?
31578Do n''t keep a bar?"
31578Do n''t you think so?
31578Do you know her door?"
31578Do you know what she is doing now?
31578Do you know?"
31578Do you mean me to be present at an interview so painful-- nay, so serious and so threatening?
31578Do you mean the clerk?
31578Do you not see guilt written on his brow?
31578Do you not see something very strange in this?"
31578Do you remember it, Lemuel?
31578Do you remember it, Luke?
31578Do you remember it, lads?
31578Do you remember my turning to speak to him the moment after that word_ all_ fell from the lawyer''s lips?"
31578Do you remember the white silk train which Mr. Armstrong saw slipping from this room?
31578Do you see your way to accomplishing this?
31578Do you think I am sick enough to imagine things?"
31578Do you think I did wrong?
31578Do you think Mr. Chivers would leave me here alone with two thousand dollars to guard?"
31578Do you understand me, you cruel, crafty ones?''"
31578Do you want a peep at it?"
31578Do you want to hear it?
31578Doctor Golden, are you ready for her story?"
31578Does Dorothy love you?"
31578Every other beggar we meet has a cough; and yet,"she added after a moment''s pause,"if it was not he who gave me this mortal shock, who was it?
31578Fear?
31578For the two women pressing behind me were----""Who?"
31578For whom was he looking?
31578Four?
31578Front rooms, rear rooms, or both?"
31578Gently removing it from his hand, I asked with all the calmness possible:"What is all this mystery?
31578Gilbertine or Dorothy?
31578Gilbertine or Dorothy?
31578Had I heard anything?
31578Had I mistaken my darling''s feelings?
31578Had I seen such a woman?
31578Had Sinclair managed to have his little conversation with her?
31578Had a bullet struck him?
31578Had any such comparison ever been made by the unhappy John Graham, as he hurried up these battered steps into the dismal halls beyond?
31578Had anything new come to light?
31578Had burglars got in?
31578Had he discovered that the seeming puzzle possessed the same invisible spring which had made the one handled by James Holmes so dangerous?
31578Had he known that I had no place in her will?
31578Had it always been the latter''s wish, then, to enrich the one and slight the other?
31578Had it necessarily meant love?
31578Had it not imprinted itself upon my mind as the one revolting vision of my life?
31578Had my aunt taken him into her confidence?
31578Had n''t he sense enough to know that such a loss would n''t pass unquestioned?
31578Had she followed her niece from the room?
31578Had she gone daft?
31578Had she slipped by me in coming in as she had on going out?
31578Had she turned her head to peer into those shadows?
31578Had these dreams been forerunners of some menacing danger?
31578Had they been talking about me?
31578Had this footstep been Dorothy''s, and if so, what had brought her into this remote portion of the house?
31578Had we been alike the victims of a spiritual manifestation?
31578Have you any objection to my company?
31578He followed close behind me, for how could he know I was not in collusion with her to regain the bond?
31578How came you to be completely dressed at near one in a country tavern like this?"
31578How can I go through this rehearsal with such a doubt in my mind?
31578How could I dream that this man, who was little more than a memory to me and scarcely that, was secretly planning mischief against me?
31578How could I think of the other?
31578How could he save the room, and, by these means, save himself and her?
31578How could she have been?
31578How many of you are there?
31578How should I fill up this gap of silence?
31578How tell her of the great, the grievous mistake she had made?
31578How?"
31578I do n''t think he meant no good here----''"''Did she drop here in the hall?''
31578I do not understand-- I am frightened-- what have you to say to Dorothy you can not say to me?"
31578I have advised this man to hold his peace till I can make inquiries, but where am I to make them?
31578I merely exclaimed:"And to- night?"
31578I thought you had entirely dissociated her with this matter, and that you blamed Dorothy, and Dorothy only, for the amethyst''s loss?"
31578I urged,"and what was the nature of the wrong you did him?"
31578I''d think it a very curious quin-- quin----What''s the word?
31578If you''re not, why did you fire those bullets my way?
31578Instantly her look of curiosity changed to one of suspicion, and repeating,''What''s in it?
31578Into what sort of gathering had I stumbled?
31578Is he at home?''
31578Is her sympathy with Mr. Deane so great as to cause her to weep over his loss?"
31578Is it beautiful?
31578Is it behind these books, I say?"
31578Is it behind these books?"
31578Is it money you want?"
31578Is it?"
31578Is that young lady here?
31578Is there unconsciousness in it, or just the hilarity of a distracted mind bent on self- destruction?
31578Is this the police- station?"
31578It fell out----""Your dressmaker''s bill?"
31578It would seem so; but why should the slighted one have been Gilbertine?
31578Jake, are you up to the little game?"
31578Luke, Hector, Janet, have you heard him tell of that vision at his gateway, twenty- five years ago?
31578May we not come in?"
31578Might I not have turned some other corner?"
31578Mow many of you ever had the opportunity of drinking real Tokay before?"
31578Never any other colour that you remember?"
31578No ale?
31578No; I should find her alone, but where?
31578Nothing o''that sort, eh?
31578Now what was the shock?
31578Now, Mr. Worthington, what am I to do with this knowledge?
31578Oh, sir,"she moaned, catching at Mr. Hammersmith''s arm,"am I then mad?
31578Oh, what is happening now?"
31578Oh, what now?"
31578Oh, why did I ever come to this dreadful place?
31578On her person or hidden in some of her belongings?
31578One of Salmon''s four grandchildren, think''e?
31578Or a shoot from Eustace''s gnarled old trunk?
31578Or is this a dream?
31578Or was another and more dreadful tragedy awaiting us?
31578Or was it a reflection from the setting sun?
31578Or was it some secret knowledge of her husband''s fate, unknown to others?
31578Or-- thought insupportable!--had she secretly yielded to another what she had so long denied me, and----?
31578Pressed to her breast was our infant, whose little wail struck in pitifully as Salmon called out,"What''s to do here to- day?"
31578Probably you can not even tell how the ladies took it?"
31578Quimby?"
31578Quimby?"
31578Remorse?
31578Searched the room and the stable?"
31578Shall I assist you to put them on?
31578Shall I shut the door for you?"
31578Shall I step into the drawing- room with you?"
31578Shall I throw him outside the house?"
31578Shall we bring him in?"
31578Shall we fare on together, you, I-- and the little child?"
31578Shall we let the matter pass, then, as though it were of small importance?
31578Shall we think of ourselves, or even of each other, while these men, all relatives of mine, are dying on the other side of this wall?"
31578Shall we, then, fare on together-- you, I, and the little child?"
31578She must have spoken the truth, but was it the entire truth?
31578She stopped, startled, and then said:"It was awfully bare; a bed was on the left----""On the left?"
31578Should I ask him if this was so?
31578Should I find Miss Lane there?
31578Should I send Hendricks or should I send Hicks?
31578Should I signal for my companions?
31578Should we in another minute encounter her ponderous figure in the group of people we could now hear hurrying toward us?
31578Stopping near him, I directed his attention to it by saying:"Pardon me, but did I not see something drop out of your hand?"
31578Surely Mr. Quimby was not there alone?"
31578THE GREY LADY Was it a spectre?
31578That would be bad, eh?
31578The coroner understood and turned back to Jake with the seemingly irrelevant inquiry:"Where did you leave Mr. Quimby when you went to the cock- loft?"
31578The next point is, how are we to settle our doubts?
31578Then he forgot me utterly again, and, facing his wife, growled out:"''Where are you going to get breakfast then?
31578Then suddenly, and with a startling impetuosity, which drew her to her feet:"Are you going to tell everybody that?
31578Then with a sly look at her trembling form and white face he insinuatingly added,"All alone, missus?"
31578Then you know where I got the poison with which I tipped the silly toy with which that weak man fooled away his life?"
31578There are five, are n''t there?
31578They listened appalled,"Dead?"
31578This imposing figure might be that of a millionaire''s daughter; how, then, could I associate her, even in my own mind, with theft?
31578This scene of seeming mirth and happy promise, or the fancies he had conjured up to rob us both of peace?
31578Through the bedroom door, then?
31578To one of the former I addressed the question:"Where is the butler''s pantry?
31578Was I dreaming or under the spell of some frightful hallucination which led me to misread the name on the slip of paper before me?
31578Was any one seen to approach Mr. Deane on the carriage- drive prior to his assertion that the jewel was lost?"
31578Was he to encounter it now?
31578Was her heart still cold, her affection unwon?
31578Was it a dream?
31578Was it because of a fresh lull in the conversation about us?
31578Was it fire?
31578Was it his duty to wait for this girl, possibly already overcome by her fears and lying insensible?
31578Was it_ hers_?
31578Was she locked in, too?
31578Was she still in the conservatory?
31578Was that Quimby speaking?
31578Was that a window they heard flying up?
31578Was the man a fool?
31578Was this a signal or a precaution?
31578Was this what we heard just before that scream went up?
31578We do n''t mind the storm, do we?"
31578Well, have you got it?"
31578Were his own feelings involved in this matter?
31578Were we not wasting strength and a great deal of emotion on a dread which had no foundation in fact?
31578What about Quimby?"
31578What about the daughter?"
31578What alternative remained?
31578What can she have to say except that she was mighty fortunate not to have been burned up in the fire last night?"
31578What did it mean?
31578What did it mean?
31578What did it portend?
31578What has happened to them?
31578What has he every right to think?
31578What have you done that you should forego an inheritance to which these others feel themselves honestly entitled?"
31578What have you forgot?"
31578What infant could live in an air like this?
31578What interest can a police- officer, called in, as I understand, to recover a stolen jewel, have in Frances Glover''s personal difficulties?"
31578What is in it, and why were you so afraid of my seeing it?''
31578What is it now?)
31578What is your name?"
31578What made you think he might still have the ruby?"
31578What must he think?
31578What shall I do now?
31578What shall we say to them?"
31578What should there be a conspiracy about?
31578What troubles Miss Glover?
31578What turned Quimby against her?
31578What was I to say-- what could I say, in response to such a declaration, following so immediately upon his warm assertion of her innocence?
31578What was the article you were seen to pick up from the driveway soon after leaving your carriage?"
31578What was the matter?
31578What was to be done?
31578What would Quimby do?
31578What would be the result?
31578What''s happened?"
31578What''s in it?''
31578What''s the matter?"
31578What''s the plot?"
31578What, then, could you expect from two poor girls entirely dependent upon her for everything they enjoyed?
31578When was this?"
31578When?
31578Where are our cloaks-- our rubbers?"
31578Where is the candle?"
31578Where was she hidden?
31578Where was she when her aunt died?"
31578Where was she, then?
31578Where will you see him?"
31578Which was the dream?
31578Who are his witnesses?
31578Who could this some one be?
31578Who had uttered that dreadful shriek?
31578Who saw her?"
31578Who?
31578Who?
31578Why did they have to look for you?
31578Why did this sound, so easily to be accounted for, ring in my ears like a note of warning?
31578Why did you pretend to love me when you did n''t?"
31578Why do you look at me with those incredulous eyes?"
31578Why had she let herself grow mad with terror when here, within reach of her hand, lay such a means of self- defence?
31578Why have your suspicions returned to Gilbertine?
31578Why is this?
31578Why mar it by unnecessary unpleasantness?"
31578Why should I fear any surprise, prepared as I was for every emergency?
31578Why should I not show the same consideration to Gilbertine?"
31578Why was I on my feet?
31578Why were they here again so early?
31578Why, then, did my brain whirl and my heart collapse?
31578Why, then, those bullets?
31578Why?
31578Will not that answer, without further conversation?
31578Will you drink it?
31578Will you see that she gets it?"
31578With a deepening flush, she flashed out:"You had n''t?
31578With something between a hitch and a shrug, he drew himself upright and with some slight display of temper cried out,"Who says he was there?"
31578Withdraw?
31578Wo n''t you believe me?
31578Would I go down to her?
31578Would a shout attract her?
31578Would he get it?
31578Would he have to jump to the ground in his own despite?
31578Would her indignation hold out under the insinuating smile with which the artful rascal awaited her words?
31578Would it come in the form of a bullet, or a deadly thrust from an unseen knife?
31578Would it ever come to pass that a harsh man of the law should feel it his duty to speak to my Flora as I must now speak to the young girl before me?
31578Would it not be better to say that her husband was upstairs?
31578Would n''t you, Huldah?"
31578Would she be found huddled but alive in some far- off chamber?
31578Would she see him and take courage?
31578Would you like to look through them?
31578Yes, a stir, a very faint stir somewhere down the hall-- the slow, cautious opening of a door, then a footfall-- or had I imagined the latter?
31578Yes, but should she acknowledge it?
31578Yet where could that ruby be, if not with this young girl?
31578Yet who knows?
31578Yet who knows?
31578Yet why should the old woman frown on me?
31578You and your babe are still alive; while they----""What of them?
31578You arrested him, of course, as soon as you could lay your hands on him?"
31578You call them dreadful?"
31578You did n''t want me dead?
31578You have seen this paper covered with the pink scrolls before?"
31578You recall the amount, no doubt?''
31578You remember the Stevens case?
31578You were a Westonhaugh, I believe?"
31578You''ve opened all the others; why do you pass that one by?"
31578Your work in the house has been upstairs work, has n''t it?"
31578_ And who was the person who uttered that scream?_"She confronted him sadly, but with an earnestness he could not but respect.
31578_ Withdraw?_ These cormorants!
31578_ You will not?_''""No, no, no!"
31578had startled him?
31578he shouted,"do you see that black spot?
31578how could he do that?
31578she wailed out,"why were n''t you true to me?
31578was his comment;"entailing I do not know what unfortunate consequences upon this household and on the unhappy girl----""Girl?"
31578what now?
31578what was that?
31578what''s this?"
31578where?
28333''A bomb?'' 28333 ''An accident?''
28333''Are we returning to the days of-- Fantômas?'' 28333 A personal matter?...
28333About the rue Norvins affair?
28333After all,he murmured,"though I may find myself face to face with a band of assassins-- what of it?
28333Ah, it''s you?
28333All the same,said he,"I ask where the three of them have got to?...
28333Am I and my cage in an ordinary room, in a studio, or in a hall?
28333And Princess Sonia Danidoff?
28333And from whence comes this police inspector? 28333 And he released this servant of yours?"
28333And if it is not he?
28333And nothing new?...
28333And that is?
28333And the car which intentionally knocked my Salad Basket out of action-- whose was it?
28333And the windows?
28333And then, Juve, what then?
28333And then?
28333And there were some?
28333And warn the police? 28333 And what conclusion did you come to?"
28333And what did this list contain?
28333And what did you say in your scrawl?
28333And when you got to the police station?
28333And who is to receive them?
28333And you are certain she has not returned?
28333And you did not find indications which went to show why Monsieur Thomery committed suicide?
28333And you found nothing else?
28333And you too, Beadle?
28333And you, yourself, madame, are convinced of the contrary?
28333And your brother had to pay for them by a certain date?
28333Another?
28333Are you eating anything yourself?
28333Are you going out, my darling?
28333Are you in a good humour, dear boy?
28333Are you not confounding Thomas with Thomery?
28333Are you one of the witnesses?
28333As you say...."What do you want of me? 28333 Because?"
28333Because?...
28333Before replying to that, will you show me all the means of access to the house?
28333Brought the game?
28333But I do not understand, madame?
28333But Juve-- how did you get here?
28333But did n''t they tell you?
28333But he can not be in the room?... 28333 But how can a dead body get away from here?
28333But if you know all about it, why put my professional discretion to the torture by asking absurd questions?
28333But the telegram said he was injured-- nothing serious, is it?... 28333 But they have not set him at liberty yet?
28333But this night?
28333But those false keys?
28333But what do you consider mysterious now?
28333But where am I to send you?... 28333 But why not?
28333But you must have more proof of it than that?
28333But, look here, Fandor-- like father, like son, eh?... 28333 But, look here,"cried Mother Toulouche,"Mimile is n''t in bits then?
28333But, monsieur, you can not suppose that we know all our clients? 28333 But, why not?"
28333But... master... when they find out what''s happened really?...
28333But... what the devil do you find to laugh at in that?
28333By the handwriting, the paper, and so on-- I''m not mistaken-- am I ever?...
28333Ca n''t you stick in something just a little bit scandalous about the Baroness de Vibray? 28333 Can I not see him?"
28333Can the chimney communicate with the Seine?
28333Can you confirm the statement that Madame de Vibray was ruined?
28333Can you find your way?
28333Can you tell me that, Fandor?
28333Can you tell me, Monsieur Fandor, did you notice anything suspicious in Mademoiselle Dollon''s room when you entered it? 28333 Come now, what is it you have seen?"
28333Come to think of it,went on Nibet, staring hard at big Ernestine,"where_ is_ that man of yours-- the Beadle?"
28333Come, tell me, dear Charley, what has been happening to you since we left the school?
28333Committed suicide?... 28333 Could we have done otherwise?"
28333Cranajour''s information? 28333 Cranajour?"
28333Damaged goods, that-- eh?
28333Dear Sonia, you think these gems rarely beautiful?
28333Did Monsieur Havard send for you?
28333Did n''t you find anything?
28333Did she give you her name?
28333Did she look upset?
28333Did someone really break into Elizabeth Dollon''s room to steal this paper? 28333 Do n''t I?
28333Do n''t you recognise me?
28333Do n''t you think, Fandor, it gives one a queer feeling to enter a house where an unaccountable crime has been committed?
28333Do you believe him guilty then?... 28333 Do you believe then?..."
28333Do you know the Barbey- Nanteuils at all, mademoiselle?
28333Do you really think, then, that I know it?...
28333Does it concern you?
28333Does your room face the street or the garden?
28333Dollon''s?
28333Excellent, certainly... and... tell me, my dear Marville, do you know if there has been any such deal in Thomery shares on a large scale?
28333Feet firm?
28333Follow you?
28333For the Baroness?
28333For, I am certain that someone wished to get rid of me... do n''t you agree with me?... 28333 From a lady?...
28333Good Heavens, madame, what do you mean to insinuate?
28333Good heavens, monsieur, is it not a fact that the Baroness de Vibray was your client? 28333 Good, but who gains by it?"
28333Has anyone by chance?...
28333Have you carried out all my orders... the last?
28333Have you many acquaintances in Paris, mademoiselle?
28333He is not hidden in the room...."You think then that he has hidden himself somewhere in the house?
28333He pressed an electric button, did he not?
28333Here?
28333How could he have got out, or been got out by the drains? 28333 How did you guess that Cranajour was still at liberty?"
28333How do you imagine this wretch set to work?
28333How had Elizabeth''s place of refuge been so quickly discovered?... 28333 How was it I came across you at the very spot where the Barbey- Nanteuil load of gold had been submerged, for the moment, under bricks and mortar?
28333How, who gains by it?
28333How? 28333 Hullo?..."
28333I am persuaded, monsieur, that Madame Sonia Danidoff was interested by the offer you made her?
28333I ask: was the man who robbed Sonia Danidoff one of the guests? 28333 I do n''t know about that, master: she has written a letter....""To whom?..."
28333I played a part?... 28333 I shall have the privilege of seeing the Princess Danidoff to- morrow afternoon; will you therefore leave the pearls with me?...
28333I tell you what,he said in a gruff and threatening voice:"I do n''t like such dodges-- like those of this evening....""Why so, monsieur?"
28333If Fantômas did not escape by the window, how then did he get away?
28333If I sing the_ Internationale_, it''s because I''m a free man-- ain''t I?... 28333 If monsieur will kindly follow me?"
28333If they are, as you think, thieves?
28333If you are certain of that,said Nanteuil,"can you tell us how Fantômas did escape?"
28333Impossible?... 28333 In other words,"said he,"you refuse to keep Mademoiselle here any longer as a boarder?"
28333Innocent?
28333Is he in his office?
28333Is it Thomery?
28333Is it far to go to the jaunting car?
28333Is she simply a police informer?
28333Is something worrying you?
28333Is that what you want?
28333Is there any connection between the Dollon affair and my band of smugglers?
28333It goes, old Beard?
28333It is a matter of twenty millions, is it not? 28333 It is true, monsieur, that I have followed, in the papers, the account of the investigations regarding them: but, in what way?..."
28333It was your manservant who accompanied them?
28333Jacques Dollon? 28333 Jealous?
28333Jules, has anyone ever done you any harm here?... 28333 Juve?"
28333Let''s see, Ernestine?... 28333 Look here, Ernestine, my beauty, are you certain the Beadle understood that we should be waiting for him here?"
28333Look here, come along with me, Fandor? 28333 Madame, messieurs, will you be kind enough to withdraw?
28333Madame,he said, addressing the overwhelmed Madame Bourrat,"you will be good enough to look after Mademoiselle Dollon, will you not?...
28333Mademoiselle, I ask nothing better, only... where to find him?
28333Mademoiselle, have you any objections to make to the statements of Monsieur Jérôme Fandor? 28333 My dear Fuselier, will you allow me to express my opinion?..."
28333My woman...."Ernestine?
28333Nadine, what time is it?
28333No one has telephoned from the Barbey- Nanteuil Bank?
28333No one suspects anything?
28333No way, is there, of compromising anyone with our Baroness de Vibray?
28333Nor that of the Baroness de Vibray?
28333Not by the windows looking on to the street?
28333Not so bad, Juve; but why did you change your sex this evening?
28333Nothing unpleasant-- no one molested you, Elizabeth?
28333Nothing, so far...."You have not run in the whole gang?
28333Nothing...."What are you going to do with that?
28333Now then? 28333 Now what is all this?"
28333Now where in the world are we going?... 28333 Now, what the deuce are they about on Clock Quay?
28333Oh, I just wished to know, mademoiselle.... Now, tell me, have you quite recovered from... your experience of the other day?
28333Oh, how could you get me arrested? 28333 Oh, nothing very extraordinary.... Of course you know about the affair-- how the Princess Sonia Danidoff was discovered?..."
28333Oh, tell me you are not going among such people, all alone?
28333Oh... this Jacques Dollon, you know, the assassin of the rue Norvins? 28333 On a personal matter, monsieur?"
28333Princess Danidoff?
28333Quite so,replied Thomery...."Should we go to your jeweller''s, without further loss of time?"
28333Rue Raffet?... 28333 Shall we never lay hands on those wretches?"
28333She has not gone out then?
28333She will be in soon, then?
28333Since you can not remain any longer at the convent, where do you think of staying?
28333So that Jules has escaped?
28333So that?...
28333So the Bank offices are perfectly protected?
28333So the President has gone? 28333 So you have brought only two of the birds?"
28333Someone coming in?
28333Tell me, Mademoiselle Elizabeth, do you feel equal to hearing what this man has to tell us? 28333 Tell me, now that your first day on guard is ended, and you have not left us for a moment-- have you noticed anything at all suspicious?"
28333That Jacques Dollon has hanged himself? 28333 That is to say?"
28333The Baroness rang for me?
28333The balloon?
28333The cells full? 28333 The coppers?"
28333The journalist brought the mistress back and then went off at nine o''clock...."No news of Alfred?
28333The message?
28333The service your department renders then is to abolish legal blunders?
28333The summons was for four this afternoon, was it not?
28333The windows?
28333There is an assistant in that room, is n''t there?
28333They did not find out anything, did they?
28333They look pretty down in the mouth, do n''t they?
28333They think it probable there will be an immediate arrest, do they? 28333 Things to worry about-- to do with comrades committed for trial?"
28333This evening?
28333Thomas?
28333Thomery?
28333To leave it will be to betray my having passed this way-- what of it?... 28333 To the boulevard Exelmans station?...
28333True? 28333 Useful?
28333Was he a burglar-- an assassin? 28333 Was that sufficient?"
28333Well, Juve?
28333Well, master?
28333Well, now, dear lad, did you recognise me, a while ago?
28333Well, then?
28333Well, what is it you want me to tell you?
28333Well, what''s your news? 28333 Well, you have learned what there is to know, have n''t you?
28333Well?
28333What I want to know is just this: Who loses money through Thomery''s disappearance?
28333What I''ve seen?... 28333 What are we to do?"
28333What are you aiming at?
28333What are you doing here?
28333What are you going to do now?
28333What became of the stolen Basket?
28333What did he hang himself with?
28333What do we know about it?
28333What do you mean by then?
28333What do you mean?
28333What do you mean?
28333What do you want, monsieur?
28333What do you want?
28333What does anyone know about it?
28333What does she want with me?
28333What is it?
28333What is she like?
28333What is your plan of campaign to- night?
28333What name shall I say?
28333What news? 28333 What of it?...
28333What past?
28333What the deuce is he doing? 28333 What the devil do you mean?"
28333What the devil does it mean?
28333What was my caller''s number?
28333What''s come to you?
28333What''s that to do with it?
28333What''s that?
28333What''s the meaning of this?... 28333 What''s to be done with the alarum?"
28333What?
28333Whatever is this?
28333Whatever''s that?
28333When you have an opportunity, will you bring me that list?
28333Whence come these pearls, madame?
28333Where am I?... 28333 Where is the money going-- all the coppers?"
28333Where were we in our talk, monsieur?
28333Wherever has that young man got to? 28333 Which way did he make his escape?"
28333Which?
28333Who are you?
28333Who is it?
28333Who is to bring them?
28333Who then?
28333Who''s aboard it?
28333Who? 28333 Who?"
28333Why do n''t you start on the trail, Fandor?... 28333 Why do you arrest me because of this imprint?"
28333Why have you betrayed me?
28333Why not photograph him?
28333Why this disguise, Juve?
28333Why, do n''t you remember César-- César who was with Rothschild last year?
28333Why, where the deuce are they taking us?
28333Why,asked he,"did Messieurs Barbey- Nanteuil call on Mademoiselle Dollon?
28333Why?
28333Will you allow me to accompany you, mademoiselle? 28333 Will you take in my card to Monsieur Nanteuil?
28333Wo n''t you introduce me to your wife?
28333Would you like me to rake up the past-- refer to what happened before?
28333Yes, I have saved her,replied Fandor as, panting with his exertions, he laid Elizabeth Dollon flat on a garden seat...."But from whom?...
28333Yes, it is a letter from a woman,said Fandor, as he picked it up:"from whom?...
28333Yes... and why not?... 28333 Yes... yes.... Have you?..."
28333You are Monsieur Jérôme Fandor?
28333You are courageous?
28333You ask if it is long since I was...?
28333You ask that?
28333You believe then, Monsieur Nanteuil, that Fantômas has left this room?
28333You can see, ca n''t you, that Jacques Dollon is not there?
28333You did not find any kind of clue?
28333You did what I told you?
28333You do n''t mean to tell me you were able to make her gabble a bit?
28333You do not think so?
28333You do understand now, dear child, why I had you arrested?... 28333 You expect a caller?"
28333You had that idea?
28333You have come to see Mademoiselle Dollon, I suppose?
28333You have n''t snuffed him out, have you?
28333You hear and understand us, Jules?
28333You know the name of Jacques Dollon?
28333You really believe I have betrayed you? 28333 You really, truly believe, Sonia, that they resemble the pearls stolen from you that unlucky evening?"
28333You take me?... 28333 You think I have n''t got any, then?...
28333You think of sleeping here alone?
28333You were able to pour out the narcotic?
28333You will return to- morrow, master?
28333You wo n''t say?...
28333You would not like someone to go with you? 28333 You''re not jealous, Beadle, making your girl write letters to such folk?"
28333You, too?
28333Your explanation is plausible, Fandor; but how about the truth of it?
28333_ The affair is serious, Fandor, attention!..._ Do you remember? 28333 ''Can you help me to discover what happened to me last night?'' 28333 ''Did Monsieur Dollon have many visitors?'' 28333 ''Is he dead?'' 28333 ''Is there nothing more?'' 28333 ''What has happened to me?... 28333 ''You have just told us yourself, monsieur,''replied the magistrate....''But have you nothing further to tell us? 28333 *****Have you anyone for the Dépôt to- day?"
28333... For, who is Fantômas-- the real Fantômas, among so many probable Fantômas?
28333..."Am I to be stuck upside down beside the driver?
28333A confrontation?''
28333A fellow who has done what he has done, what does he deserve?...
28333A free man can sing if he likes, ca n''t he?
28333A gleam of cupidity showed in the old receiver''s eyes:"Got a bit of tin on her back, that woman-- eh?"
28333A lover''s meeting?
28333A voice asked:"Are you hurt?"
28333About no matter whom, in fact?
28333Acquaintances?"
28333Admit for a moment that our enemies are keeping a watch on you here: what will they recollect about your doings this evening?
28333After a moment''s reflection, he added:"Can it be for ventilation only?
28333After casting an observant eye round the room he questioned the housekeeper:''Is this state of disorder usual?''
28333Ah... Good Heavens, what am I to say to this poor girl?
28333Alas, how could Elizabeth tell?
28333All Elizabeth could say was:"But why not have warned me?...
28333Am I clear?"
28333And as the door was unlocked and opened, our journalist asked:"Where shall we start this domiciliary visit?"
28333And she?"
28333And that at the risk of encountering someone who could recognise him, and might have him arrested afresh?
28333And that each time you answered the call you could not find me at the end of the line?...
28333And the trap?"
28333And then?"
28333And were you not present at Monsieur Thomery''s ball?"
28333Anything fresh since your extraordinary telephone communication?...
28333Approaching Jacques Dollon, Dr. Mayran examined him attentively:''Will you help me to lift him on to a bed or a table?''
28333Are n''t you ashamed to be in a funk with us?...
28333Are the cells full up?"
28333Are they going to jam my cage and me on to the seat?"
28333Are they to be attacked, or is it their money?
28333Are we never to be left in peace?"
28333Are you aware, Fandor, that we have been drawn into a succession of incomprehensible occurrences-- a mysterious network of them?...
28333Are you certain that you did not have a visitor?
28333Are you long for Saint Lago?"
28333Are you surprised then that I felt it incumbent on me to visit this bank?...
28333Are you, as I am, on the track of Jacques Dollon?"
28333As a precaution, the young hooligan asked:"The bloke snores?"
28333As to Fantômas, how do you think we can identify him in this haphazard fashion, basing our idea on pure supposition?
28333At San Domingo, among the niggers?"
28333At last, Fandor asked in a hopeless sort of tone:"Well?...
28333Bertillon pressed a bell, and asked the official who answered it:"Have you identified the imprints I sent you just now?"
28333Besides... did he not feel for Jacques Dollon''s pretty sister something sweeter and more tender than pure sympathy?...
28333But a comrade or two will be on the prowl, eh?"
28333But a ventilation hole could only communicate with one of the apartments in the Palais itself, and how the deuce could they drop a corpse down there?
28333But afterwards?...
28333But am I going mad?"
28333But had these unknown assassins entered the room?...
28333But how could Dollon know my address?
28333But seriously, what did you want me for?
28333But then by what way?"
28333But then, why this search?...
28333But what are you going to do now?"
28333But what do you think of the disguise?"
28333But what had been the Princess''s motive for coming here alone?
28333But what he said was:"What, in short, is your view of the general position, Monsieur Havard?"
28333But what''s up?"
28333But whatever is the matter with you-- eh?...
28333But who then could have had the audacity to plan such an attempt and carry it out, too?
28333But, Monsieur Fuselier, have you interrogated him yet?"
28333But, am I under suspicion then?...
28333But, do be kind enough to tell me what happened after my departure?"
28333But, how about the last line?
28333But, unless they were known to her, why the necessity?
28333But, where the deuce are they going?
28333By the by, you are going to stay for the cotillion?"
28333By this window... where else?...
28333By what kind of a route are we making for that blessed police station?"
28333CRIMINAL OR VICTIM?
28333Can I see him?"
28333Can they be the fine fellows I am lying in wait to meet?"
28333Can you not guess whence it came?
28333Can you not recollect whether or no you had a visitor before the arrival of the men who attacked you?''
28333Can you think of any people to whose interest it would be that this old fellow should disappear?"
28333Casting scared and bewildered glances about him, he cried:''Who are you?
28333Clearly Jules was guilty, for the pretended police inspector asked:"No one this evening?
28333Come now, can you tell me whether this list is still in your possession, or not?"
28333Concealed adversary?
28333Could it be Jacques Dollon''s body?
28333Cranajour seemed to reflect:"Have n''t I told you,"grumbled Mother Toulouche,"to go and stick it up outside?...
28333Criminal or victim?"
28333Did not someone pay you a visit-- someone you had asked to come and see you?''
28333Did they leave me in this lair of theirs of set purpose, knowing I was cooped up inside the trunk?"
28333Did you not tell me, just now, that your prison van had had an accident?
28333Did your brother make a mistake?
28333Do n''t they supervise the accused in their cells?"
28333Do n''t you remember?...
28333Do n''t you think it a jolly fine thing then?"
28333Do they know I am in this room waiting to entrap them?
28333Do they think they will find Nanteuil here defenceless?
28333Do you believe me?"
28333Do you imagine that I arranged a meeting only for the pleasure of talking to you?...
28333Do you know what really happened?"
28333Do you know what they call it-- what you''ve done-- dared to do?"
28333Do you know where one is likely to be found?"
28333Do you mean to persist on these lines?"
28333Do you need to be told whose dead body has supplied this phantom glove?"
28333Do you want me to tell you?...
28333Does that tell you anything?"
28333Does the_ Havas_ say whether it is a crime or a suicide?"
28333Eh?"
28333Eh?"
28333Elizabeth Dollon cried:"And then?
28333Elizabeth Dollon went on:"Why did you not tell me that you had found on that piece of soap traces of my brother''s finger- marks?
28333Elizabeth reflected a minute before replying:"That was what she wrote-- and one must believe that, nevertheless...""Nevertheless?"
28333Elizabeth, who?..."
28333Ernestine had arrived looking thoroughly upset:"Have you heard the latest?"
28333Ernestine?"
28333Extraordinary events?...
28333Fandor asked, in a low tone:"Shall I remain for the sitting?"
28333Fandor decided that they certainly would, for they were business men, and was he not going to give them a free advertisement?
28333Fandor grew pale:"And you were jolly proud of it, eh, Fandor?...
28333Fandor had been speaking in a fairly loud voice, as usual, but, at imperative signs made by his friend, he lowered his tones:"What is it?"
28333Fandor hesitated a moment.... Should he divulge his secret?
28333Fandor''s pride in his exploit was sinking to zero: was he passing a wretched night to no purpose?
28333Fandor_ knew_; but, Juve dead, was there another soul who could know the true facts?
28333For what purpose?...
28333Fresh facts to go on?
28333Friend or foe?
28333Get away?
28333Good or bad?"
28333Had he accomplices?"
28333Had he not been her staunch defender up to now?
28333Had he not warned her that she must not be astonished at anything that occurred-- that she must be prepared for anything?...
28333Had she any recollection of the little rascal I was at the time of poor Madame de Langrune''s assassination?"
28333Had she heard him leave the flat?
28333Had the aeroplane been totally wrecked?
28333Had the new tenants left a key of the flat with her?
28333Had you not asked her to come some evening soon?
28333Had you not certain pieces of painted pottery to show her?''
28333Has anyone played cowardly tricks on you?...
28333Have n''t I told you there''s nothing to fear?"
28333Have those beauties of last night no suspicion of the truth?...
28333Have you been nabbed long?..."
28333Have you ever been cheated out of your fair share of the spoil?...
28333Have you seen the last issue of_ l''Havas_?"
28333Having barred the door on the quay side of the store, Mother Toulouche joined big Ernestine and the newcomer:"Well, Nibet, anything fresh?"
28333He advised me to wait till to- morrow: he said it was too late in the day to do anything....""But, will he not intervene to- morrow?"
28333He again seated himself beside the Baroness:"You have invited her?..."
28333He got my bit of a scrawl this morning....""What then?"
28333He had discovered there was one chimney not down on the plan:"Whither did it lead?"
28333He has not been able to clear himself?"
28333He is n''t smashed up, is he?"
28333He jumped up:"Is n''t it Thomery?"
28333He may be heard-- or he may not?"
28333He quitted the Palais, half- smiling, half- serious.... What was he going to do next?
28333He ran up the steps leading to the Council Chamber, and spying the messenger asked:"Can President Guéchand see me, do you think?"
28333He read one of the names and repeated it:"Well, then, could Justice Hubert see me-- could he possibly?
28333He said:"Are such impressions imperceptible?"
28333He seemed to be looking for someone, and finished by questioning one of the women employed in the cloak- room:"Is Madame Marguerite not here?"
28333He spoke to the doctor, taking care that Jacques Dollon should not overhear him:''Did you not say that this woman''s death is due to poison?''
28333He was on the point of going downstairs, when he heard the portress calling from above:"Who''s there?...
28333He was very much at home in this branch of work: could not Mimile demolish a lock as easily as one rolls a cigarette?
28333He went up a step or two of the next flight of stairs and called out:"Is Monsieur Mercadier at home?"
28333He wo n''t know what to make of it when I tell him who I am-- and how am I to explain my presence here?
28333How am I to tell her?"
28333How are we to tell her that we have let her brother''s murderer escape?"
28333How can seeing me do him harm?"
28333How do you explain that?''
28333How do you know it is?"
28333How had he got into connection with Mother Toulouche and her intimates?
28333How is that?"
28333How much for the coat?
28333How much for the whole suit?
28333How organise a trap for the mice?"
28333How slow, how deadly slow, the tic- tac, tic- tac, of the timepiece?
28333How then do you explain the fact that the Baroness de Vibray was found dead in his studio, and at his side, when no one had seen her enter it?
28333How to defend them?
28333However is it you are so late?"
28333However, will you leave it with me?"
28333I am on the make- up: what have you got for to- day?"
28333I am only going to the post....""Why not give Jules your letter?"
28333I am very curious to know whether the person now asking for you is identical with the person who asked for you a little while ago?"
28333I could n''t get a squint at her paper....""Did she not say anything?"
28333I fancy that when an old fellow like that does the vanishing trick, there are terrible results on the Bourse?
28333I have done nothing-- nothing.... What have you against me?..."
28333I have something to say to you, and, joking apart, you are not to breathe a word of it to a soul-- sh?"
28333I hope she will allow you to see her safely home?"
28333I must go to the Palais de Justice... you do n''t want me for anything else this morning, do you?"
28333I never thought to find pearls of such quality again....""You consider these to be of as pure a quality then, dear?"
28333I ought to be able to put a name to that familiar face?
28333I partly understand you, of course; but there''s a lot I do n''t know yet.... What are you after, dear Juve?
28333I presume Thomery''s disappearance must be profitable to someone?
28333I will go and see her-- and at once.... Who knows but I might find some clue which would put me on the right track?"
28333I wonder if I shall learn anything worth knowing at the court to- day?...
28333If it was n''t your fist, whose then?"
28333If it were Dollon, he would not hang himself here.... Why should he hang himself?"
28333If someone should take into his head to enter the room at this moment, what kind of explanation could I give?
28333If this young Dollon has murdered Madame de Vibray, does n''t that make you think that his father was the murderer of the Marquise de Langrune?"
28333In what way can I be of service to you?"
28333In what way?..."
28333In whose house?...
28333Is it possible?
28333Is it really Mademoiselle Dollon to whom I have the honour of speaking?"
28333Is it the amiable Madame Bourrat?
28333Is it true that you have summoned here all Thomery''s guests?...
28333Is n''t it so, Cranajour?"
28333Is n''t rue Mozart barred at the end?
28333Is n''t that so?"
28333Is n''t there a light?...
28333Is n''t there anything more to be got out of that story?"
28333Is that not so?"
28333Is that not so?"
28333Is there anything new?..."
28333Is there anything you can bring up against us?...
28333It is not improbable that he has seen something-- something it would be best you should not hear-- had you not better avoid it?"
28333It is the first discovery to be made, the first impossibility to be explained-- yes, and how am I to set about it?"
28333It must have been a terrible blow to you?"
28333Jealous of Ernestine?
28333Jules hastened to answer this ring, and was met by the question:"Is Mademoiselle Elizabeth Dollon at home?"
28333Just tell me where these worthy guardians of order, defenders of right and justice, divest themselves of their red robes?"
28333Just then he heard the pretended police inspector say:"Will you provide us with writing materials, madame?
28333Just then the door was pushed violently open, and a girl, in tears, rushed towards him:"Monsieur, where is my brother?"
28333Jérôme Fandor interrupted her:"You always remained on good terms with the Baroness de Vibray?"
28333Lady... Lady Beltham?"
28333Look here now, would you like a bit of good advice?...
28333Me?
28333Monsieur Agram, who had been steadily observing Jacques Dollon, persisted:''Is there not a gap, monsieur, in your recollections of what occurred?...
28333Monsieur Fuselier smiled:"You know then?"
28333Monsieur Jouet?"
28333Monsieur Nanteuil, will you do me a small service?
28333Mother Toulouche nodded:"It''s arranged all right, but how will you arrest the motor?"
28333Mother Toulouche was set on knowing the rights of it:"But what has happened to Emilet exactly?"
28333My dear, we will go together to identify those pearls, will we not?"
28333My poor Mathilde, are you never going to be sensible?"
28333Nevertheless he asked anxiously:"There''s nothing more I''m wanted for here, is there?
28333Nibet tried to relieve their minds:"Have n''t I told you,"growled he,"that I''m going to get Maître Henri Robart to defend him?
28333No cops about the store on the lookout, are there?"
28333No?...
28333No?..."
28333Not really?"
28333Nothing happened?"
28333Now that he''s been killed, he''s got to be got rid of-- isn''t that true?...
28333Now who can it be at this time of night?"
28333Now, do you not think, as I do, that this Auteuil affair is not a case of suicide, but of attempted assassination?"
28333Now, where the deuce are we going?"
28333Now?...
28333On what difficult and delicate quest would he be despatched?
28333One of a nefarious band?"
28333Or about Dollon?
28333Or shall I take you to the station?..."
28333Or the elegant Nanteuil?
28333Perhaps even, knowing how clever you are, you might be able to find something, an indication, some detail, in my room?
28333Please tell me what people you knew in your immediate neighbourhood?
28333Pointing to a grey patch in the distance he put his mouth to Cranajour''s ear:"See the daylight yonder?
28333Poor Juve?..."
28333Redhead began to shake all over:"Who is it?"
28333Rue du Ranelagh?...
28333Second succeeded second; then another whistle, identical in rhythm, replied: soon a voice asked:"It''s you, Jules?"
28333Seizing the head warder by the shoulders, almost roughly, Monsieur Fuselier asked:"Look here, chief, was this man dead, or was he not?"
28333Set traps to catch you in?...
28333She proceeded to remove both hat and veil:"Well?"
28333Should I allow him to enter?"
28333Should I let her go up?"
28333Silence fell for a few minutes, then the new prisoner asked, in a tone of rough familiarity:"What''s your name?"
28333Someone still up?"
28333Suddenly Cranajour broke a long silence and demanded, looking as stupid as a half- witted owl:"What have I done then?
28333Suddenly the book slipped from his hands, and he exclaimed:"The guilty man is...""Is who?"
28333Suppose I lose consciousness and slip into death?"
28333Suppose the serious Barbey pops up?
28333Suppose the villains are going to inject into the room some gas which would suffocate me, and I should not know I was breathing it in?
28333Sure he''ll come this way?"
28333Sure he''s gone to drag his old down- at- heels somewhere-- but where?...
28333Surely now, you will not refuse me a little interview?"
28333Surely you know that Thomery represents one of the biggest fortunes known?"
28333Swear to me that he is not?"
28333Take one thing: do you know what were the motives of the different Fantômas- Dollon crimes?"
28333Tell me, does anyone suspect?"
28333Tell me, how did the capture go?"
28333That he was innocent?
28333That is so, is it not?"
28333That suit you?"
28333The Baroness replied by a glance, in which there was something ambiguous, something of ironical mockery:"How are you, Norbert?"
28333The Beard said in a joking tone:"You do n''t suspect, then?
28333The Mother Superior replied:"Was it not you then who telephoned this morning to ask for news of Mademoiselle Dollon?"
28333The Princess stammered in a mysterious tone:"Do n''t you know then, Nadine, that to- day is the anniversary?...
28333The corpse we laid out just now?"
28333The dusky Circassian obeyed: she stared with big, astonished eyes into those of her mistress:"But, Princess, why do n''t you wish me to go?"
28333The editorial secretary entered the Financier''s room, and, catching sight of Fandor, he cried:"What''s the meaning of this?
28333The familiar voice of Mimile was heard:"Got the rabbit then?"
28333The floor is strewn with peach kernels-- surely?...
28333The little pocket- book was on the floor amongst other papers, but the list was not to be found in it.__ Am I mistaken?
28333The magistrate replied:''Yet, did you not invite her to your studio?
28333The motive?
28333The papers have represented her as eccentric, as mad; they have said worse things than that, you know that, do n''t you?...
28333The poor fellow is so stupid that I ask myself if he has not made a mistake?"
28333The poor girl was frantic with terror: she wrung her hands in a state of despair:"Where is he?
28333The shopkeeper stared at the smart young man:"What do you want it for, sir?...
28333The sleeper sat up:"What''s the time exactly?
28333The warder hesitated, then said:"Since there''s no one else, could n''t I take Cranajour with me?"
28333The woman Toulouche?...
28333Then it is for that paper they came?
28333Then she cried:"But Nibet, how... is n''t he in it?"
28333Then she said:"You spoke of the others?...
28333Then stopping short, and drawing the doctor aside, he asked:''Do you consider him in a fit state to bear a severe moral shock?...
28333There are your articles on the one hand, and your attitude on the other-- what am I to make of it?
28333There is some subtle contrivance of Dollon''s here; I want to get to the bottom of it.... Will you come to rue Norvins?"
28333There was a silence: then the iron- barred window was half opened, and Fandor heard a voice asking:"What do you want, monsieur?"
28333There were also two or three dates....""And is that all?"
28333They are well known and powerful-- perhaps they would exert their influence in your servant''s favour?
28333They told you, did they not, that she had gone out?
28333This affair is supposed to have happened in my parts, do n''t you see?...
28333This very night?...
28333Thomery?"
28333To whom else could it be an advantage to use this as an exit from the interior of the Palais, on to the roofs?"
28333To- morrow night?...
28333Turning to Monsieur Havard, he asked:"You have no instructions, chief?"
28333Was he to be stupidly caught, just as he was escaping?...
28333Was it anyone at all?...
28333Was it as a general precaution, or was it on account of Madame Bourrat?...
28333Was it imagination?
28333Was it to bring her some help, as has been stated?"
28333Was this same cunning criminal feigning sleep for some evil purpose?
28333Was this the murderer''s ironic touch?
28333We know all the story-- not so?...
28333We must set to work....""Work?...
28333Well then, old''un, as all the pals were of one mind, why hesitate?
28333Well then?...
28333Well, do you know what you did?
28333Well?...
28333Were there steps by the door?...
28333Were you not expecting anyone?...
28333Were you quite alone yesterday evening?
28333What I want to know is, where these gentlemen of the Court of Justice robe and unrobe?
28333What are you scolding me for?"
28333What are you up to here?
28333What did Jules do when he got in and put out the lamp?...
28333What did this mysterious visitor mean?
28333What do you think?"
28333What do you want of me?...
28333What do you want?"
28333What do you wish to insinuate now, madame?"
28333What does that matter?...
28333What ground have you for making such a declaration of innocence?"
28333What had she to conceal?
28333What had she to gain by lying?
28333What has become of him?
28333What have you done with that list, mademoiselle?"
28333What have you to reply to that?"
28333What is it?"
28333What is the matter with him?
28333What is the meaning of all this?..."
28333What is this you are telling me?
28333What ought to be done to get him let out?"
28333What possible interest can the bankers take in such a matter?...
28333What the deuce do you mean?"
28333What the deuce must I do to prevent his being let loose, and how am I to stop the judicial interrogation?...
28333What the devil does it mean?
28333What to make of it?
28333What was it she considered so"extraordinary"about the jewels she had just submitted to him?...
28333What were you telling me?"
28333What''s up?"
28333What?...
28333Whatever have you been up to since yesterday evening?
28333Whatever makes you imagine that Cranajour belongs to our force?"
28333When do you go out?
28333When he left Monsieur Bertillon, what then?"
28333When the telephone girl answered, he called:"Mademoiselle, why have you cut me off?"
28333Whenever he was near her, did he not experience a thrill of emotion?
28333Where am I to follow you?...
28333Where did we turn then?
28333Where is he now?
28333Where is the meeting place?"
28333Where, then, can he have hidden himself?"
28333Which, and how many?"
28333Who are they-- the others?"
28333Who are they?
28333Who are you?"
28333Who could have had the same idea as he and his comrades, and to realise it successfully?
28333Who could have telephoned to get news of her?"
28333Who else would be so kindly interested in my doings?"
28333Who had been most surprised then?
28333Who has charge of the landing of the King of Spain?"
28333Who has sent this invitation and warning?
28333Who is speaking to me?"
28333Who is speaking to me?"
28333Who the deuce could have telephoned to her at the convent?...
28333Who told you I had been asking for you on the telephone?"
28333Who was it then?"
28333Who was that workman?...
28333Who wrote to me this morning?
28333Who?...
28333Who?...
28333Who?...
28333Whom did he take back with him to the police station?"
28333Whom do you want?
28333Whom have you bagged?"
28333Whose news?"
28333Whose?
28333Why are you sticking out your jaws at me like this?
28333Why did you accuse me of having received a visit from him, when you yourself had proved that he was dead?"
28333Why do n''t you sing then?...
28333Why do you come to upset people at this time of night?
28333Why no date?
28333Why not?"
28333Why this opening, then?...
28333Why, he asked, had the police been obliged to arrest him for drunkenness in the open thoroughfare?
28333Why, since the proof of it is there?"
28333Will they show me the door, as though I were an intriguer or a madman?...
28333Will you ask him to let me see him for five minutes?"
28333Will you be kind enough to explain what does happen in such a case?"
28333Will you be off, and go home?...
28333Will you draw a plan of the first floor of your house?"
28333Will you follow us?
28333Will you not confide in me?
28333Will you not give me your hand even?
28333Will you offer me hospitality for the next forty- eight hours?...
28333Will you say whether or no you received a visit from your brother?"
28333Will you take the affair in hand then?
28333Will you, therefore, be kind enough to take yourself off?"
28333With reference to that, have you given your address to anyone, since yesterday?"
28333Would it be difficult, or impossible to climb up to them?"
28333Would it be to- night?...
28333Would she come in and find him there?
28333Would the very considerable prize of Malines lace they were expecting reach its destination safe and sound?
28333XIX CRIMINAL OR VICTIM?
28333XXII AN EXECUTION"Not much water about, is there?"
28333XXVIII COURAGE"Have some more chicken?"
28333Yes or no?"
28333Yes, but how?"
28333You actually credited me with that?"
28333You also know what risks you run?...
28333You answer first, Mother Toulouche, since you are the oldest?..."
28333You are determined to see your brother?"
28333You are free to- day, are you not?
28333You are going to tell me that they are perfectly beautiful, are you not, Monsieur Thomery?"
28333You are on the track of the assassins?"
28333You are the one who has taken the wind out of our sails over the Danidoff affair... do you confess that?"
28333You backed out of it, did you, my boy?...
28333You did n''t have a throw, did you?...
28333You do n''t by chance fancy the Beadle has been made a mouthful of, do you?"
28333You do not understand why I am here?
28333You had not the patience to wait at the telephone?
28333You have learned something fresh?
28333You know Thomery, the sugar refiner?"
28333You know the value of yellow boys?
28333You know what you have to gain?...
28333You know who stole the jewels?"
28333You remember when Fantômas got an unfortunate actor named Valgrand executed in his stead?
28333You take me?...
28333You told me, surely, that there were names in this list of persons you knew, or had heard of?
28333You will never guess who is the owner of that car, Fandor?..."
28333You wish to know whether I have killed her?...
28333You wo n''t say, Messieurs Beadle and Beard?
28333You wrote, in your article, that at first you had thought it simply an attempted burglary, followed by an attempted murder?"
28333You''re Elizabeth Dollon?...
28333You, who well know I am not guilty?"
28333_ Gérin?_..._ Madame B_....?
28333_ Gérin?_..._ Madame B_....?
28333but... Is she really not in the house?
28333ca n''t you pay attention to where you are going?...
28333cried Fandor,"your assassin has hanged himself, has n''t he?"
28333cried Mother Toulouche:"You''ve brought the newspaper, have n''t you?"
28333exclaimed the irate magistrate:"How did you get in here?"
28333he barely articulated:''how can it be possible?''
28333he said at last...."Why, when the comrades told us, were n''t they surprised, one and all?
28333he said softly...."What the deuce am I to do now?
28333interrupted Madame de Vibray, who had no wish to listen to the remonstrances of her too prudent friend:"What does it matter?
28333murmured he, with a scarcely perceptible note of contempt in his voice:"You think you will extract information from that quarter, do you?"
28333said she...."If you do not really think you are running any risk, will you let me go with you?...
28333she asked in an affectionate tone...."And those pains?"
28333she cried,"the bad news?"
28333she replied, a note of impatience in her voice:"I want to know if anyone called to see_ me_ this afternoon?"
28333yelled the warder:"Who knows what has become of the corpse of cell 12?...
36198''The most beautiful señorita in all Guerrero?'' 36198 A full- sized general with the whole Mexican government behind him?
36198A gringo, sayest thou? 36198 A smelter?"
36198After all,he thought,"why should n''t I run down and see them occasionally?"
36198Am I dreaming?
36198An order from Don Sebastien? 36198 And Francesca?
36198And how long will it be in the building?
36198And if we ran away?
36198And leave you to walk? 36198 And she chose you for her doctor?"
36198And that?
36198And the General-- Don Luis?
36198And these, of course, are the other sort?
36198And this is the end?
36198And thou?
36198And what is three months?
36198And would they be the first? 36198 And you immediately turned about to tattle this to me?"
36198And you like them-- the Frenchmen?
36198And you never knew it?
36198And you unable to speak a word of Spanish-- not to mention the risk to your throat?
36198And-- then?
36198Any present danger?
36198Are you ill?
36198As you value your life-- nay, you were always careless of that-- promise, for my sake, that you will not come alone? 36198 At the station, señor?
36198Awake,_ niña_? 36198 Before she-- left?"
36198Breakfast all ready? 36198 But I hope this wo n''t prevent us from being good neighbors?"
36198But I thought-- was it not the agent at the station who said they had no money?
36198But he may try--"--To take me from you?
36198But if he pay not?
36198But if you could raise the money?
36198But of what use, señor, to hang_ after_ the killing? 36198 But returning to your_ amigos_, the gringos--""My_ amigos_?"
36198But suppose that you are taken ill on the way?
36198But the Englishmen?
36198But this new business? 36198 But where are they now?"
36198But why the consulate, señor,the rurale politely objected,"when she owns here the house of her kinswoman?
36198But why this tender care? 36198 But-- Bob?"
36198But-- why give them money?
36198Can you not guess?
36198Cheaper? 36198 Did I not say that I enjoyed being out at night in the rain?"
36198Did I not say these gringos were a mad people?
36198Did I not see you at the hotel last night?
36198Did n''t you find the transition from Manchester rather sudden? 36198 Do n''t you know that we are down to our last dollar?"
36198Don Roberto? 36198 Don Sebastien?"
36198Fell for what?
36198Fifty thousand dollars, señor-- gold?
36198Give me time to think?
36198Happen? 36198 Have you gone crazy?
36198He does not exist, my dream man, or, if he did, what use could he have for such a wild, naughty girl as I? 36198 He has, has he?"
36198He struck at you?
36198How can that be?
36198How far outside the harbor does Mexican jurisdiction extend?
36198How long hast thou been in this employment?
36198How long?
36198How should I know,_ amigo_, what money he has?
36198I was thinking what they would say-- my mother, Don Luis, the neighbors?
36198I wonder what is behind all this? 36198 If I were to lend it to you?"
36198If there had been any to tell? 36198 If you''ll permit me?"
36198If?
36198In the wet?
36198Is he-- much hurt?
36198Is it not good to see the fields again?
36198Is it so serious as that?
36198Is n''t she a peach?
36198Is this magnificence altogether for el General, or did Caliban drop some word of our niece? 36198 It is surely the señorita Garcia?
36198It is you, señor?
36198It is you?
36198It was not they?
36198It was, I suppose, accidental? 36198 Let me see-- that''s nigh on three months, is n''t it?
36198Like the devil in the old New England theology,he suggested, smiling,"you make more converts than the preacher?"
36198Like your predecessor, the Hollander?
36198Man, why did n''t we think of it?
36198Marriage?
36198Mr. Thornton, is it not? 36198 Nine hours late?"
36198No?
36198Not alone?
36198Not going there?
36198Now you would see the administrador? 36198 Now, what shall we do?"
36198Of what village?
36198Of your opinion?
36198Oh, I wonder if he saw us?
36198Oh, how could you?
36198Oh,_ what_ shall I do?
36198Or is this the usual way of a bride? 36198 Pretty?
36198Romance?
36198Sebastien Rocha? 36198 Señor, you are sick?
36198So anxious?
36198So she has been home since I left?
36198So this is the child that we have renamed in his honor?
36198So this is the fellow who has been bucking old General Garcia in the Barranca de Guerrero?
36198So you recognize me at last?
36198So_ very_ glad? 36198 Start early?"
36198Supposing that I had refused?
36198Terms?
36198That does not seem just to you?
36198That is, to be friends with these men who have forced themselves in on your lands? 36198 That old revolutionist?
36198The sea?
36198The trap?
36198The wage seems small?
36198Then he is near the end of his rope?
36198Then it is n''t true? 36198 Then no one is left?"
36198Then she has not come?
36198Then she is coming back?
36198Then there is something forward?
36198Then what is it?
36198Then what is to prevent her skipper from marrying us?
36198Then why did n''t you? 36198 Then why do n''t you speak it?"
36198Then you do not speak for them?
36198These be they that attacked you, señor?
36198This fellow-- he still gives good service?
36198This time you will build a larger--"--Plant?
36198Thy name?
36198Took your money and never came back?
36198Was there ever a gringo that would not bite at such? 36198 Well, what if he does?
36198Well, why not?
36198Well-- New York?
36198Well-- the neighbors?
36198What have I done?
36198What hurry?
36198What is it to you?
36198What is the trouble, señors?
36198What is_ she_ doing here?
36198What need? 36198 What use would he have of purses, señor, that has so many of his own?"
36198What''s this? 36198 What, the girl with the dog?"
36198What?
36198When-- when did it-- happen?
36198Where are you going to raise capital,he demanded,"with every spare dollar in California locked up in the Nevada gold fields?
36198Where are you going?
36198Where go the gringos,_ amigo_? 36198 Where you will proceed to make my mother eternally miserable, and uncle--""--Infernally angry?
36198Who hired thee?
36198Why do you wait, Pancho?
36198Why not?
36198Why-- you''re the fellow that was down here last fall, ai n''t you?
36198Will you not stay for lunch?
36198Wo n''t you?
36198Would you have been as careful of the proprieties if the señorita were out of the case?
36198Yes? 36198 Yet you strive against it?"
36198You are for the mines, señor? 36198 You are from up river, señor?
36198You are not going?
36198You are tired? 36198 You are-- alone?"
36198You crossed and recrossed the flood? 36198 You do?
36198You had them whipped? 36198 You met them?"
36198You must have wondered why I did not write? 36198 You really think that he would?"
36198You will concede, señor, that I warned you-- that no gringo would ever force himself in on my lands?
36198You?
36198Your books?
36198Your love affairs?
36198Your mother? 36198 _ Bluff?_"She laughed again at the meaning of that rank Americanism.
36198_ Ca n''t_ we hire a single solitary peon, Seyd?
36198_ Please?_ At least let us talk it over.
36198_ Quien sabe?_ Ask their blood brother, the burro. 36198 _ Quien sabe?_ Does n''t look like his style.
36198_ Quien sabe?_Sebastien shrugged his shoulders.
36198_ Quien sabe_, señor?
36198_ Santa Maria Marissima!_"And Don Luis?
36198_ Si?_he inquired, looking suddenly up.
36198_ Si_, the smelter?
36198_ Tonto!_ where is thy mistress?
36198''General, if you will grant us a concession to do this, that, the other?
36198A conspiracy?
36198A cousin?"
36198A little sheepishly he now went on:"It must be that thou wouldst care to see thy relative?
36198After a brave answer to the question"Who is thy Creator, Francesca?"
36198And if it were"--Reason here observed a deadly pause--"what chance would you have against Sebastien and his retainers?"
36198And now?"
36198And ride hard"--her voice broke in a sob--"for if you should be overtaken by the water what in this miserable world would be left for me?"
36198And she?
36198And thou art driving for them?
36198And turning so suddenly that Caliban dropped the package he was carrying in, he asked,"Hast thou any acquaintance at San Nicolas?"
36198And what of the magic that turned my bullet fired at twenty yards, then found me and Calixto in black jungle and shot us down from the high cliff?
36198And you really think that he planned it all?"
36198And you, señor, will follow?"
36198Are they said?"
36198Are they so different from the others?
36198But Don Luis?
36198But do n''t you find it a little dull here-- after Mexico City?"
36198But here?
36198But how to broach the subject without offense?
36198But how to compass it?
36198But if anything went wrong?
36198But now?"
36198But she interrupted him:"You were going toward San Nicolas?
36198But since she_ will_ be abroad, what better escort could she have than her kinsman?"
36198But since they are working on a surer plan--""What do you mean?"
36198But then-- you will come?"
36198But to- morrow?
36198But what can I do?
36198But what can you do?
36198But what to do?
36198But-- if they rise not at the bait?"
36198By which trail do you travel?"
36198Did he not come out of the ordeal unscathed, tricked out in the flowers of virtue?
36198Did the gringos go up with their furnace?
36198Do n''t you see that you have catalogued us with the San Nicolas people as a pair of blackguards forever?
36198Do we have visitors so often that you let me sleep on like a rotten log?"
36198Do we really eat?
36198Do you think that Don Luis would be any more favorably inclined toward me?
36198Don Luis?
36198Don Luis?"
36198Eh?
36198Fifty thousand pesos?_""_ Yo._"Smiling slightly, he went on:"Now listen, Sebastien.
36198Francesca?
36198Give me a month?"
36198Got any decent grub?
36198Got it into your fat head?
36198He did look up at Billy''s vigorous comment on his answer as translated by Seyd:"Then why did n''t he show himself this morning?
36198He even asked,"What does he say?"
36198He is not here?"
36198He locked me in to drown-- and do you suppose that he''d hesitate if he were here now in my shoes?
36198He nodded again in answer to a second question as to whether his niece could convey certain information to the señorita Francesca''s ear?
36198He said I was beautiful?
36198He yielded to her pleading,"For my sake?"
36198He''ll repay you for the life of the dog-- perhaps by saving you alive for a month?
36198He-- he is not-- dead?"
36198Her shiver answering, he went on,"Now, will you trust-- leave all to me?"
36198How could he do otherwise?"
36198How could that be?"
36198How deep do you call this bit of a hole?"
36198How did you resist the temptation?"
36198How was it that I did not meet you on the way?"
36198I cannot-- oh, give me time?"
36198I did n''t come down here to do a social stunt, and why should the opinions of a lot of greasers cut any ice?
36198I expected that you would stay with us at least a week?"
36198I had thought-- what is this?"
36198I suppose it extends as far in the other direction?"
36198I understand that these furnaces-- dynamite?
36198I wonder how he''ll take it?"
36198I wonder who''s next?
36198I''m sure that I do n''t care a whoop--"He paused, then suddenly exclaimed:"Are we crazy?
36198If he finds you here-- with me-- oh, has there not been trouble enough?"
36198If the mine is so rich why do n''t the old cock work it himself instead of leaving it to be denounced by any old tramp?"
36198If you will go with my mother to Europe--""_ Si_--if-- I-- go?"
36198In his vast astonishment he whispered it:"_ Thou?
36198In open mutiny once more against the scheme of things, he repeated the phrase,"Gone?
36198In return for your service to my cousin it is, perhaps, that I can be of assistance-- in the hiring of men and mules?"
36198In the mean time would the señors be pleased to wait for an hour?
36198In the middle of it he burst out,"You do n''t mean to say that you fell for it as easily as that?"
36198Is he also mad?"
36198Is he the first?
36198Is it my fault that he expects good oak burning for the price of soft ceiba?"
36198Is it that you would prefer to have me blown up?"
36198Is it true that we can not tempt you to come down?
36198Is n''t that pine on the other side?"
36198Is she to have the run of their camp?"
36198Is there a foot of Mexican soil which has not been soaked with good Mexican blood that you should be so careful for a gringo?"
36198It is as you see; and why disturb it by the introduction of Yankee methods?"
36198It is you, señor?
36198Just to keep you out of temptation-- will you please to go first?"
36198Leave you-- now?"
36198Let me return your money?
36198Medium tall, is he, with a straight nose, hollow cheeks, quick gray eyes?
36198Neither was he appeased by Billy''s answer, delivered with an irritating grin:"Why should she wish to see you when I was around?
36198Nettled a little by his amused contempt, Seyd quickly retorted:"I fail to see how you can claim to have no ideals?
36198No?
36198Noticing her shiver, he added:"You are cold,_ querida_?
36198Now what are you going to do?
36198Now, why could n''t I have had them?"
36198Oh, why did I do it-- commit this great wrong?
36198Oh, why did n''t you send it sooner?"
36198Only why should he be in talk with our mule- driver?"
36198Out of pure obstinacy he growled:"What of it?
36198Perhaps you can tell why?"
36198Please?"
36198Recalled to a sudden realization of their imminent danger, he pleaded,"First let me place you in safety?"
36198Santa Gertrudis?
36198Satisfied, she asked, with a little sigh:"The mine?
36198Seems rather funny that the old chap should come to our help?"
36198Settling to his stroke, he began again:"Supposing that I complied and put you ashore at San Nicolas?
36198Seyd?"
36198Shall we say five per- cent.?
36198So the position is not without its duties?"
36198Something gone wrong?
36198Still they will now have their bellies full of Guerrero?"
36198Suddenly he asked,"What ship is that?"
36198Supposing this were to escape to the good uncle?
36198Tell me, señor, can as much be said of your poor?"
36198Ten thousand of a first payment, fifteen for the second, the remainder at a third with interest--""Interest?
36198That was a peach of a punch-- the bum left, too, was n''t it?"
36198The atmosphere having thus been cleared, he commented:"Went off to tell the General, eh?
36198The next time you fall in love please--""_ Now_, what are you talking about?"
36198The old merry look flashing out again from the blood and bruises, he asked:"How''ll you trade?
36198The question is-- what''s to be done?"
36198The señorita?"
36198The trail?
36198Then taking in the knives, pistol, broken club, she asked,"They attacked you?
36198Then, warmed by the honest fellow''s undoubted anxiety, he said,"Do you remember any consignment of brick that ever came to this station?"
36198Third, fifth, tenth, just what is the degree of our cousinship?"
36198To Europe?"
36198To Santa Gertrudis?
36198To his reproof,"This was foolish; why did you linger?"
36198Tomas, is this the wealth the gringos seek?
36198What can I do?"
36198What do I care for your San Nicolas people?
36198What else could you expect from a peon that found himself enriched at a stroke?
36198What if your people did wound this man?
36198What is this?
36198What news?
36198What was the last thing you did?"
36198What would become of these, my people?
36198What would she say?"
36198What''s this?"
36198What_ can_ you do?"
36198When Seyd at last found his tongue he could only stammer the obvious question,"You speak English?"
36198When can we expect your cook?"
36198When does she sail?"
36198When she agreed, he asked,"I wonder if you had any conception of the risks you were running when you rode behind me?"
36198Where is that last car?"
36198Which shall it be?"
36198Who do you suppose did it?
36198Who would employ them?
36198Who?"
36198Why should I wish to bring suffering to the good mother?
36198Why?
36198Why?"
36198Will he be the last?"
36198Will the death of the murderer bring the murdered to life?
36198With the river running a mile wide at its narrowest?
36198You do n''t mean to say that you have denounced--""--The Santa Gertrudis prospect?"
36198You know how closely we came to utter shipwreck?"
36198You must have begun--""--Very young?
36198You who are striving with all your might against the American invasion?"
36198_ Carambar- r- r- r- a!_ And you go by the old trail down the Barranca?
36198_ He_ offered you help?
36198_ Hombre_, hast thou so little regard for thy neck?"
36198_ Señor?_"He glanced with an interrogative frown at the peons asleep in the shade of the adobe.
36198am I a fool?"
36198did n''t you see the trap?"
36198the good mother?"
36198you will not?"
31915A Frenchman?
31915A detective?
31915A gentleman?
31915A romance?
31915A way by which he could have hidden the jewels so that a search could not have found them, and yet in a place accessible to himself afterwards?
31915Abduction? 31915 Actress?
31915Ah, who is that?
31915All similar to this?
31915Alphonse Thauret? 31915 And that condition is?"
31915And that is?
31915And that place is?
31915And who would that be?
31915And who, pray, is the girl Rose Mitchel? 31915 And why so pray?"
31915And you mean to win that bet?
31915Any news of my wife''s ruby?
31915Are we at liberty to leave the train?
31915Are you Mr. Barnes the detective?
31915Are you in a hurry to take me with you?
31915Are you not admitting,interrupted Mr. Barnes,"that you harbored a murderous spirit?"
31915Are you not getting inquisitive? 31915 Are you not one?"
31915Are you quite sure?
31915Are you sure of that?
31915Are you sure?
31915Because I thought that I would miss her so much and be lonely myself, was not that it? 31915 Because it has my picture copied on it?"
31915But Miss Remsen is not her mother?
31915But how do you account for the fact that this button which I have is plainly a portrait of your friend, and a counterpart to those on your vest?
31915But how should you avoid all that?
31915But suppose,said Lucette,"that the child''s letters are directed under cover to the parties with whom she is living?
31915But surely you must have guessed that----"Guessed what?
31915But what about Mitchel? 31915 But what proof have you that you are not the father, and the lunatic the innocent cousin, as so many believe?"
31915But, Mr. Mitchel,said Mr. Thauret,"surely a ruby could not absorb blood?"
31915But,he continued,"will you tell me how you think the thief hid the treasure on the train?"
31915By the way, Mr. Barnes, would you mind saying where you found that button?
31915By what express company were they sent to you?
31915Can I? 31915 Can you identify the person by his dress?"
31915Can you prove this story?
31915Can you remember when I was here last?
31915Come, Mr. Barnes,said Mr. Mitchel,"what have you to say now?"
31915Correct logic? 31915 Did I understand you to say that this Rose Mitchel is your daughter?"
31915Did he notice you in any way?
31915Did he, indeed? 31915 Did it?
31915Did you feel the person take the pin from your hair?
31915Did you find out the woman''s name?
31915Did you give her the amount demanded?
31915Did you know anything about a child, a girl?
31915Did you know little Rose Mitchel?
31915Discharged? 31915 Distrusted him?"
31915Do I understand you to seriously offer to commit a crime merely to decide a wager? 31915 Do n''t like to eat alone, eh?"
31915Do n''t you know our password?
31915Do you doubt it? 31915 Do you know of a woman by the name of Rose Mitchel?"
31915Do you know what became of him?
31915Do you know where she is now?
31915Do you mean legally insane? 31915 Do you mean that I am discharged?"
31915Do you mean that this particular case has no interest to you?
31915Do you mean that you did not know it?
31915Do you mean that you would be willing to share unenviable notoriety with him, and that he knew this?
31915Do you mean us to believe,interrupted by Mr. Randolph,"that the color has deepened with time?"
31915Do you not know that it is suspicious for a man to submit to blackmail? 31915 Do you not see, Mr. Mitchel, you are simply making your actions more and more suspicious?"
31915Do you remember the day you came to see me at the Fifth Avenue, about the button which you had found? 31915 Do you think, that in a case of that kind, the man would be excusable on the plea of mania?
31915Does not the fact that she sold me those papers indicate that?
31915Does very well? 31915 Exactly, but will you come into the next coach?"
31915Found out all about it? 31915 From which you deduce that they followed the jewels?"
31915Had you any special reason for suggesting Number Ten?
31915Has Mr. Mitchel made Miss Remsen any present lately?
31915Have n''t I done any good? 31915 Have you never read Edgar Poe''s tale, the one where a letter is stolen and hidden?
31915Have you the documents still?
31915How are you this evening, Mr. Thauret? 31915 How better?"
31915How can you prove that?
31915How could you do that?
31915How did you know that my name is Barnes?
31915How do you expect me to assist you in that direction?
31915How do you know that I can not prove it?
31915How do you know that he is a Southerner?
31915How do you know that it is a man?
31915How do you know that?
31915How does that happen? 31915 How is that?"
31915How long?
31915How should I know it?
31915How so?
31915How so?
31915How so?
31915How was it set?
31915How will you avoid that danger?
31915I do n''t catch what you are driving at?
31915I thought you said that you saw him steal the ruby?
31915I wish you to tell me who this woman is?
31915If you do not know it, why did you get married yesterday?
31915In jewels?
31915In my search for what?
31915In the first place, then, are you willing to say whether you ever knew a woman who called herself Rose Mitchel?
31915In what way?
31915In which, the robbery, or the murder?
31915Indeed? 31915 Is not that an odd costume?"
31915Is that all?
31915Is this man Fisher the tool of Thauret? 31915 Jewels?
31915Just as he did on another occasion?
31915Kissed you, did he? 31915 La Montalbon?"
31915Lost one? 31915 Married or single?"
31915May I go now?
31915May he not have feared to ask you to implicate yourself in a robbery, and possible scandal? 31915 Miss Dora, why do you allow a cad like that Frenchman to make love to you?"
31915Miss Dora,said he,"do you recall a conversation that I had with you one day?
31915Mitchel,he began,"how the deuce did that fellow Thauret get into this family?"
31915Mr. Barnes, how was this thing done? 31915 Mr. Charles,"said Mr. Mitchel,"would it be possible for me to enter these vaults without your knowledge?"
31915Mr. Mitchel,said Mr. Barnes,"why did you object to my looking into this case?"
31915Mr. Mitchel,said Mr. Barnes,"will you wait a few minutes?
31915Murderer? 31915 My dear Thauret, can a man of your intelligence believe in such a stupid thing as luck?
31915My dear boy, do you suppose for an instant that I would reply to that, after pointing out that a detective may be listening? 31915 Not a part of your set?"
31915Nothing? 31915 Now do you think that I could ever be suppressed?"
31915Of much?
31915Oh, shall I? 31915 Oh, yes,"said she, frankly,"why?
31915Oho? 31915 One of yours, why have you lost one?
31915Password? 31915 Promised not to, I do n''t understand?"
31915Queen, did you enjoy the opera last night?
31915Queen,said she the next afternoon,"what do you think of your new maid?"
31915See here,he exclaimed;"how much do you want for getting this money for me?"
31915Seven,answered Mr. Mitchel, so promptly that Mr. Barnes could only repeat, amazed:"Seven?
31915So far as what?
31915Suppose I were to tell you that she is dead, and that she had left a hundred thousand dollars which is unclaimed?
31915Suppose that the thief himself is a gem cutter?
31915Tell me quickly, have you succeeded?
31915The Forty Thieves?
31915The morning when he locked your maid in this room, whilst you went down- town and took a little girl from one house to another?
31915Then I am to understand that at present you do not suspect me?
31915Then how was it that Fisher wore my costume?
31915Then it would not make any difference how anxious a suitor might be to have his reply at once?
31915Then tell me, have you no suspicion as to who might have taken your jewel?
31915Then the other button has been lost?
31915Then what do you mean by saying that the set now is only six?
31915Then why did you not seize the thief?
31915Then why have you brought me in here?
31915Then you accept the wager?
31915Then you feel sure that he would have told you in advance?
31915Then you refuse to help me?
31915Then you think it impossible that I should have been able to have a duplicate key, and to have entered here without your knowledge?
31915Then your conclusion is, that by filling his mind with such thoughts he may have accustomed himself to the idea of crime in connection with jewels?
31915Then, was she an actress?
31915Think? 31915 This was at Forty- second Street?"
31915To the Remsens? 31915 To what other?"
31915Upon what charge?
31915Very good, Mr. Barnes-- I believe that is the name on your card? 31915 Very well so far, but now how can you prove that you have any good reason for assisting me?"
31915Was Mr. Mitchel present that night?
31915We detectives are supposed to know everything, are we not?
31915Well then, was she?
31915Well, did it? 31915 Well, then, is she your daughter?"
31915Well, what is it? 31915 Well, what then?"
31915Well,said Mr. Barnes,"have you succeeded?"
31915Well,said he, angrily,"what are you doing here?"
31915Well,said the detective,"can you manage it?"
31915Well,said the detective,"what have you learned?"
31915Well?
31915What became of Mitchel?
31915What costume shall I ask for?
31915What do I think of it? 31915 What do you mean by''in either event''?"
31915What do you mean?
31915What do you mean?
31915What do you think?
31915What does what mean?
31915What for?
31915What has all this to do with the case in hand?
31915What has this to do with the criminal class?
31915What have you to say to that, Mitchel?
31915What if I should decide to arrest you at once, and ask a jury to determine whether your original set included this button or not?
31915What is it?
31915What makes you so certain that this Lucette was my spy, as you term it?
31915What makes you think so?
31915What other affair?
31915What then? 31915 What was it?"
31915What was that story?
31915What was the value of these jewels?
31915What, you refuse? 31915 What?
31915When and where can I see this man?
31915When you say that no one has left the sleepers, I suppose you mean you saw no one leave?
31915Where are you going, Lucette?
31915Where''ll we go?
31915Who are you?
31915Who is that girl?
31915Who said that I am a detective?
31915Who was his partner?
31915Who?--Lucette?
31915Why did you do that?
31915Why did you not follow him and see where he took her?
31915Why did you not make any resistance, or cry out?
31915Why do you ask?
31915Why do you ask?
31915Why do you do so?
31915Why have n''t you read the papers?
31915Why not go and unburden your soul to the police?
31915Why not? 31915 Why not?"
31915Why not?
31915Why not?
31915Why should it interest me? 31915 Why so, Roy?"
31915Why so?
31915Why, do you know Mr. Barnes also?
31915Why, do you suppose for an instant that I would betray you?
31915Why, my dear boy, if we can hear that fellow, why may not some one in the next compartment be listening to our_ tête- à- tête_?
31915Why, suppose-- suppose she fell in love with him? 31915 Why, what is up?"
31915Why? 31915 Will you be seated?"
31915Will you give me the name of the man whom you suspect?
31915Will you show me that seventh button, or breast- pin?
31915Will you tell me why you wish to keep me here?
31915Would Mr. Barnes like to win another?
31915Would you be willing to make a wager to that effect?
31915Would you mind telling me how?
31915Would you mind telling me why you have altered your mind? 31915 Would you mind-- if I asked you to wait till-- well, say the New Year?"
31915Wrong? 31915 Yes, Roy,"said Emily,"why not simply tell the story as a narrative, and let the whole truth be known?"
31915Yes, but are you legally married to her?
31915Yes, what of it?
31915Yes,said he,"and then?"
31915You admit then that you are her father?
31915You are Mr. Barnes the detective?
31915You are sure of this?
31915You have done well,said he, taking it,"but why did you not report to me at once?"
31915You have, but as long as I thought that you yourself might have committed the crime, how could I come to you to ask you to assist me?
31915You keep my key, do you not?
31915You knew this girl? 31915 You know him?"
31915You know of a Leroy Mitchel, who is now in this city?
31915You know that?
31915You mean as to making an arrest?
31915You mean that you knew her?
31915You never knew me to make a failure, did you? 31915 You recovered the ruby?"
31915You refuse?
31915You say,interrupted Mr. Barnes,"that Sefton told you he was hired by some one in New York to throw me off the scent?"
31915You say,said the detective,"that Mr. Mitchel gave you the slip again yesterday afternoon?"
31915You think so? 31915 You think that it was the presence of that stone which led to the discovery by the police of the satchel containing the jewels?"
31915You wish to see me?
31915You would never guess, Mr. Barnes that that was once an ordinary button?
31915''How much?''
31915''Left you,''said I,''when?''
31915A Boston man?"
31915After a pause he asked:"You have known Mr. Mitchel for a number of years, I believe?"
31915After awhile, taking advantage of an opportune lull, he leaned over her and said in an undertone:"May I have a few words of conversation with you?"
31915After securing the plunder, why did he thus lose it?
31915Again she asked a question:"Money is not an object to you, in this?"
31915Again, is Fisher the man who received the satchel from one of these men, and then took it to the hotel in New Haven?
31915Am I accurate?"
31915Am I accurate?"
31915Am I not right?"
31915Am I right in supposing that you wish to marry Dora yourself?"
31915Am I right?"
31915Am I right?"
31915Am I to understand that the losses annoy you, and that you wish an explanation?"
31915And now tell me, are you going to catch the man who robbed the woman on the Boston train yesterday?"
31915And now will you excuse me whilst I complete my toilet?"
31915And now-- what are you going to do about it?"
31915And what leads you to such a preposterous deduction?"
31915Any man with a grain of sense, and with the knowledge of your wager, must see your hand in this?"
31915Are you going to be a bungler all your life?
31915Are you prepared to answer them?"
31915Are you satisfied?"
31915Are you still content?"
31915At length he spoke:"Are you giving me this straight?"
31915Barnes?"
31915Barnes?"
31915Barnes?"
31915Barnes?"
31915Barnes?"
31915Because I happened to be on the train and was compelled to submit to being searched by an order from a blundering detective?"
31915But after all, what about that button?
31915But did he tell you which communicating door he came through?"
31915But do I?
31915But have you lost one?"
31915But how have you recovered it?"
31915But if one be born immoral, who is to blame?
31915But let me ask you----how would you have hidden them, had you been in his place?"
31915But now----""Well?"
31915But tell me, Mr. Barnes, how did the man secrete the diamonds, I suppose they were diamonds, were they not?"
31915But tell me, why did you think it best to lose?"
31915But what class of crime will you commit?"
31915But what do you mean by saying that she is richer?"
31915But what is his name?"
31915But who killed the woman?"
31915By the way, I suppose you have the description of the man who left the satchel at the hotel?
31915Ca n''t you do better than that?
31915Can you ask that?"
31915Can you guess?"
31915Can you in some way arrange to have a talk with him yourself and draw him out, whilst I should be secreted where I could overhear the conversation?
31915Come, tell us; how should you hide the jewel, supposing that you had taken it?"
31915Come, what do you say; shall it be a thousand dollars?
31915Could Mitchel himself have hidden the satchel?
31915Could it be possible that this was the case containing the missing jewels?
31915Could there have been any secret design in this?
31915Could this be the den of a murderer?
31915Did I not tell you so at the very outset?
31915Did he know that the other also lived there, and did he go into her apartment after leaving his companion?
31915Did n''t I tell you I lived with her till she broke me?"
31915Did n''t you have brains enough to telegraph?"
31915Did she divine that there might be some danger in admitting that there was a seventh button still?
31915Did the man and the woman know each other in the southern city?
31915Did you commit this robbery?"
31915Did you know a man named Leroy Mitchel who was at one time this woman''s husband?"
31915Did you know her?"
31915Did you know the person who would take the pin?"
31915Did you mean to intimate that she has been murdered?"
31915Did you pay the money demanded?"
31915Did you see it done?"
31915Do I make myself plain?"
31915Do n''t I tell you I am her husband?"
31915Do n''t you like him?"
31915Do n''t you see the danger that the younger sister is in, associating with that man?"
31915Do you catch the idea?"
31915Do you discover that, as you claim to have detected the thief, simply by looking at them?"
31915Do you know whether he was connected with her in any way?"
31915Do you mean to say that she was the woman who was robbed?"
31915Do you mind?"
31915Do you not hear that?
31915Do you remember our wager?
31915Do you see the point?
31915Do you see the point?"
31915Do you see this ruby?"
31915Do you suppose I could have an interview with the woman?"
31915Do you suppose I would track that man, and then let you turn Wilson on him again?
31915Do you think that I committed this robbery?"
31915Do you think that I would make an assertion only to draw back from my boast as soon as tried?"
31915Do you think that your love is great enough to believe that when I do so it is from love of you, that I keep a secret from you?"
31915Do you think this pale stone a match to mine?''
31915Do you think you could identify this man Mitchel?"
31915Do you think you would be happier or unhappier,--if you were married?"
31915Do you wish me to continue the investigation?
31915Do you wish me to make a search for the stolen property?"
31915Do you wish to continue it now?"
31915Does it tally with that of my friend?"
31915Dora-- little sweetheart-- do you, could you trust yourself to me?"
31915Emily was dressed-- but there, why should I attempt to describe what only a Worth could have furnished, and only wealth could afford?
31915Failing in this, might he not either in a fit of anger or to prevent her from''peaching,''as they call it, have cut her throat?"
31915Finally he stopped and said:"You say he has the child with him?"
31915For what could she mean but that his chances were good, since if otherwise, how could the telling prevent her from winning her wager?
31915Had any signal passed between these two detectives?
31915Had that matchless schemer Mitchel sent her a note warning her to say that there were but seven in the original set?
31915Has Thauret induced him to play, that together they may fleece the other members of the club?
31915Has he, indeed?"
31915Have I not always been willing to talk freely to you?"
31915Have I wasted my time?"
31915Have n''t you any sense left at all?
31915Have you followed it?"
31915Have you noticed that we can hear a man snoring?"
31915Have you yours with you?"
31915He did show some interest, however, for he arose from his chair and, walking up to Mr. Barnes, he asked simply:"Have you it with you?
31915He replied calmly:"All things are significant-- how do you interpret this fact, supposing that you could prove it?"
31915He said:"Mr. Mitchel, who do you think killed Rose Mitchel?"
31915His name is Thauret?"
31915How can you explain such conflicting statements?"
31915How did it happen that you were travelling with so valuable a lot of jewelry?"
31915How did you manage it?"
31915How do I know that you are a detective at all?"
31915How do you suppose that he would regain possession of the gems?"
31915How does that strike you?"
31915How many buttons were made for this set?"
31915How many did you have?"
31915How many persons have left the train?"
31915How will you prevent it?"
31915I am going to ask Bob----""Bob?"
31915I did ask you,--Why?"
31915I do n''t suppose you told the girl to let me see her face, eh?"
31915I know that he pretends to be sick at a hotel in Philadelphia, but may not that be a humbug?
31915I mean about loneliness, and the longing one has for companionship?"
31915I must give you further proof?
31915I suppose on your trip up you saw nothing beautiful in the rain- storm that we had this afternoon?"
31915I suppose you know that I am engaged to your friend?"
31915I suppose you know why I wished to stop your marriage?"
31915I supposed that buttons were made by the thousand?"
31915I will wager that I can tell you what your theory is?"
31915I wonder if he can keep an eye on that shrewd scoundrel?
31915I wonder whether there is any real object in this game of hide and seek; or whether it is simply an intimation to me that he can not be shadowed?
31915If I prove to the contrary, will you agree not to place me under arrest?"
31915If I should wish to marry Miss Dora, I suppose you would favor my suit?"
31915If he leaves he may take the jewels with him, yet what am I to do?"
31915If no one has left the train, then the thief must be aboard?"
31915If so, how could she have retired and fallen to sleep so quickly?
31915If so, why does he now let me know that he saw me?"
31915If so, will she be in the plot, and make a hue and cry, so that the papers may make a noise?
31915In a moment he had wiped the suds from his eyes, and looking at his friend he answered most unconcernedly:"What of it?"
31915In the first place, he has not been here for over a week, and then yesterday I saw him coming down Fifth Avenue, and, would you believe it?
31915Is he so egotistic that he dares to guy me?
31915Is he so sure that he can not be convicted?
31915Is it a bargain?"
31915Is n''t there one man that I can depend upon?"
31915Is not that correct logic?"
31915Is she not worthy of being my wife?
31915Is that clear?"
31915Is that it?"
31915Is that person our friend Thauret?
31915Is that right?"
31915Is that satisfactory?"
31915Is there anything more you wish to say?"
31915It looks like it, but why this sudden intimacy with Mitchel?
31915It was to examine the buttons on my vest, was it not?"
31915It would depend upon-- my husband, would it not?"
31915Jean Molitaire, was it not?
31915Knew her name?"
31915Legally I mean?"
31915Looking him straight in the eyes he said in the coolest tones imaginable:"How did you discover that I am a physician?"
31915Make a wager about what?"
31915May I examine them?"
31915May I have a few moments of strictly private conversation with you?"
31915May I see it?"
31915May I tell you about it?"
31915May I?"
31915May he not have bought his set from that very man, and may not this woman have stolen the duplicate set recently, and brought them to this country?
31915Might I not thus do more harm than good by attracting your attention to a false scent?"
31915Missing that, the woman would have naturally concluded that the jewels were gone, would she not?
31915Mr. Barnes, under the circumstances I know you will excuse me, and forgive me, will you not?"
31915Mr. Thauret however, in a moment said:"Are you not going to tell us the name of this sneak thief?"
31915Mr. Thauret, shall I have a place set for you, also?"
31915Nestling her head in the folds of her sister''s soft silk gown, thus hiding her face, Dora said timidly:"May I tell you something Queen?"
31915Neuilly?"
31915Neuilly?"
31915Neuilly?"
31915Now can you prove that she is not?"
31915Now can your remarkable inventive faculty fashion a story to meet this emergency?"
31915Now tell me, Dora dear, who is coming this afternoon?"
31915Now, Mr. Neuilly, I ask you, is not that the man who was known to you?"
31915Now, if he was willing to tell me the name, and if he committed the crime, why did he remove the names from all the garments?
31915Now, what was your object?"
31915Only, are you sure you are right?
31915Or is that less sudden than we know, and have they been long acquainted?
31915Perhaps it may interest you?"
31915Quickly recovering, he said:"What was I saying?
31915Randolph?"
31915Randolph?"
31915Randolph?"
31915Shall I read it to you?"
31915Shall I tell you why?"
31915Shall we go in?
31915Shall we hear his report?"
31915She did not change countenance, but simply said:"What occasion?"
31915She looked up at him, evidently surprised at his tone, and asked:"Is it important?"
31915So my young miss wants a maid to herself, does she?"
31915So that is your little plot, is it?"
31915Suddenly he said:"Randolph, does your conscience trouble you?"
31915Suppose that I should tell you that I ferreted out the fact that this name Molitaire was but an alias, and that the man''s true name was Montalbon?
31915Suppose that as I were about to depart a sleeping, uncalculated- for pet dog should jump out and bark furiously?
31915Surely, if you truly love me you will not begrudge me that satisfaction?"
31915Tell me, were you near when the robbery occurred?
31915That is to say irresponsible?"
31915That is your main objection to placing the case in my hands is it not?"
31915That one is of course the thief, eh, Monsieur, do you not agree with me?"
31915Thauret?"
31915The daughter of the murdered woman?"
31915The detective continued,"What have you to say now?"
31915The individual himself, or the antecedents, including both parentage and circumstances?
31915The question then that I wish you to answer is, what was it that you saw on that button, which satisfied you that it was not of your set?"
31915The question to be answered is, did your friend steal those jewels?
31915The thief evidently is clever, do you not think so?"
31915The woman turned up in New York, but how do you prove that Molitaire did not go to-- let us say Russia?"
31915Then I am indebted to you after all for recovering the stone, but tell us, how did you accomplish it?"
31915Then I am to understand that Mr. Mitchel did not tell you in advance that he would do this?"
31915Then besides, if he did get out and take the things, where could he have hidden them, and how did they get to New Haven?
31915Then having lost that link, where do you prove Molitaire or Montalbon guilty?
31915Then what is it?"
31915Then when we remember that the woman''s name had been cut from all her garments is that not significant?"
31915This aroused the question"Did the murderer have the means of entering the house without attracting attention?
31915This makes my action clear to you?"
31915This seemed extraordinary to us, you know, because why should it skip right over us and go to the big mountains?"
31915Too bad that, with all his shrewdness, he was not able to catch the thief, or thieves rather, eh?"
31915Turning to the hall- boy, who of course had been taught his part, he continued:"Can we find a room where we can talk privately for a few minutes?"
31915Was it a cry of pain, or the shriek of nightmare?
31915Was it to prevent him from calling upon these women again?
31915Was it very wrong?"
31915Was n''t he sick?"
31915Was there any significance in this fact?
31915Was there anything peculiar about it?"
31915Was this the woman who had accompanied him to the theatre?
31915Were I to identify her dead body, would that prove that I was a personal acquaintance?"
31915Were these two men acquainted, accomplices perhaps?
31915Were they not worth it?"
31915What are you afraid of?
31915What are you going to do about it?''"
31915What can that mean?"
31915What deduction do you draw from that fact?"
31915What do you advise?
31915What do you and Mr. Barnes here think it to be?"
31915What do you find?"
31915What do you know of the existence of another Mr. Leroy Mitchel?"
31915What do you mean?"
31915What do you say, eh?"
31915What do you see?"
31915What do you think of it?"
31915What do you think?"
31915What evidence have you that she has met with any loss at all?"
31915What has this to do with him?"
31915What have you to do with the case?"
31915What if I were to tell you that a detective watches me day and night?"
31915What is it?"
31915What is it?"
31915What is it?"
31915What made you think that he had come to New York?
31915What more probable than that you should apply there for information?
31915What of them?"
31915What then?"
31915What was your reason?"
31915What wrong?"
31915When he presented it to Cleopatra she cried out at him:''What fool''s trick is this?
31915Where did you meet him?"
31915Where did you obtain this leather case, and what does it contain?"
31915Where else could he have hidden them, since the train itself and everybody on it was searched?"
31915Who in our business has not?
31915Who is it?"
31915Who on earth has Miss Remsen abducted?"
31915Why are you here?"
31915Why did he place the satchel in the hotel, and then abandon it?
31915Why did he show me that ruby and say that he meant to present it to his sweetheart?
31915Why did you not frankly ask me to show you the buttons?"
31915Why did you not prevent it?"
31915Why did you not report?"
31915Why may he not have tapped upon your window and have received back the satchel?"
31915Why not ask all who did to allow themselves to be searched?"
31915Why not get one out and present it to the lady?"
31915Why not, since he had become the master of its mistress?
31915Why not, since it is true?"
31915Why was that?"
31915Why, unless Rose Mitchel is an alias, and the real name is thus kept secret?
31915Why, what object but a friendly one can I have?"
31915Why?"
31915Why?"
31915Will I go to Philadelphia to see him?
31915Will he give it to her, and then rob her of it?
31915Will she not be envied when she wears it?"
31915Will that satisfy you?"
31915Will you aid me?"
31915Will you breakfast with me in the restaurant?"
31915Will you do me a great favor?
31915Will you do this?
31915Would you mind if-- oh, how shall I say it?
31915Would you mind telling it to me?"
31915Would you oblige me?"
31915Would you-- would you be willing to wait?"
31915Yet does it not require exquisite skill to carve so small an object?"
31915Yet how many have ever examined into the existing state of things, and analyzed the causes which make the criminal a possibility?
31915Yet why should there be any trouble?
31915You admit that?"
31915You are not the thief, are you?"
31915You can readily appreciate why we prefer to have this bauble in our own possession?"
31915You do n''t class me with Wilson, I hope?"
31915You do n''t think I am horrid to bet, do you?
31915You do not mind?"
31915You have come to see me about this Mitchel case?"
31915You have not to my mind quite connected this man-- what did you call him?
31915You have noticed that, have you?"
31915You know what prompted me to speak?"
31915You mischief, what have you to confess now?"
31915You must be ready-- Who is that?"
31915You slept with him that night, what do you think?"
31915You will forgive my sending you away?"
31915You will not claim that you are innocent?
31915You would rather have the true story, would n''t you?"
31915laughed Emily,"Who is the monster?
31915then remained silent for some moments; finally he said:"And you think he murdered this woman, Montalbon?"
31915were you?
38466A clean job, you said?
38466A shot of what?
38466And I do n''t think I want to have anything to do with that guy, do you, Shiv?
38466And have you destroy it?
38466And what do you think I''m going to do if you_ do n''t_ talk?
38466And,Weedham said,"you believe that some transportation company in this city is actually assisting the Eye in this business?"
38466Anybody knocked off, Ray?
38466Are you going to take me away?
38466Are you the man with the flashlight who was out here a moment ago?
38466Aw, Sergeant, how did I know it was you prowling around in all that dark?
38466Beginner, are n''t you?
38466Biggert, did you say?
38466Burland, huh?
38466But I''m finding whatever was in Biggert''s hand, understand? 38466 But kept a few of them on my person just to get myself in jail, huh?"
38466But what started the target practice?
38466But where''s the high sign?
38466But you must dispose of him immediately, do you understand?
38466Clean?
38466Clever, were n''t you, Daisy?
38466Come again, please?
38466D- d- dad,Jeff Weedham stammered,"where was Biggert when we were in the library?"
38466D- d- do you think you could let us in?
38466Dat''s a pretty good a''spaghetti, eh Joe?
38466Delancy?
38466Dey a''deada now, yes? 38466 Diamonds or other stuff?"
38466Did the police notice the smudge of white powder on the lapel of Carlson''s coat when they found his body? 38466 Do I wait?"
38466Do n''t you find that gown something of a liability hunting in this jungle?
38466Done what?
38466Engel... Engel... Lou Engel? 38466 Er-- do them marks mean anything to you?"
38466Girra''s finger man, eh?
38466Have you made any attempts to identity the corpse?
38466He''s-- he''s your nephew?
38466Hey, are n''t you Reynolds of the Dispatch, pal?
38466How about some lunch?
38466How did you get my home address?
38466How does it feel to be utterly helpless, Burkey?
38466How does it happen the Black Hood is n''t right down in Tombs prison now?
38466How is Harry?
38466How much was your job?
38466How much?
38466How so?
38466Huh?
38466Huh?
38466I presume you are thieves?
38466I wonder if you''d send to the police lab for an ultra- violet lamp? 38466 I''ve a cocktail engagement at hof post threh--""What''s that again?"
38466I-- I wanted something that he owned--"What was it?
38466Is n''t that Squid Murphy over there in the corner, trying to disguise himself as a corner of that safe?
38466Is that all, Miss Hennifer?
38466Is that an order?
38466Is that so?
38466Is that your signature?
38466Just a corner, you say, Sergeant?
38466Just how do you mean?
38466Just what do you mean by that?
38466Just what do you mean by that?
38466Just who are you and what is the meaning of this?
38466Left, huh? 38466 Listen, McGinty, why do you suppose Biggert, Weedham''s secretary, was killed?"
38466Listen,Delancy said, now thoroughly angry,"how do you get that way?
38466Look, Sid, how did it happen? 38466 Lou, did you tell the boss you had to have a raise, that the job is worth more?"
38466Maybe we''d better call headquarters?
38466Moll?
38466Mr. Engel, yuh mean?
38466My son,he asked of the Black Hood,"what are your findings?"
38466No double feature?
38466No hard feelings, Ray?
38466No?
38466No?
38466Now how clear does your case appear?
38466Now then, the inquest has been performed in this last case?
38466Now, gentlemen?
38466Odd marks on his face, are n''t they?
38466Okay, Shiv?
38466Okay?
38466Only three? 38466 Or is n''t he the guy?
38466Remarkable, is n''t it?
38466Say, what is this, a racket?
38466Say,he interrupted,"who are you, anyhow?"
38466Sergeant Southern?
38466Sid, you got it figured how we was double- crossed maybe? 38466 So you got only ten grand, Ray?
38466Some little trouble bothering you tonight, Ray?
38466Spare- ribs and sauerkraut, huh, Ede?
38466Take a look at that?
38466That''s as far as you got?
38466Then laugh, damn it, why do n''t you? 38466 Then-- what are you?"
38466There was, huh?
38466Think you can get across the street all right?
38466To settle an argument, would you read this and give me your opinion?
38466Well then--"Do you know Harry Duggin?
38466Well, could n''t have McSweeney poisoned him and then thrown his body on the tracks?
38466Well, now that''s one for the book, ai n''t it?
38466Well, what are we waiting for?
38466What am I supposed to say?
38466What are you going to do?
38466What did he think about the red blotches on the faces of the nine corpses?
38466What did you do last night, Miss Hennifer?
38466What did you do?
38466What do we do now?
38466What do you mean, it was a mistake?
38466What happened?
38466What the hell''s wrong with their watchman?
38466What was that telephone number you just called?
38466What were you going to tell him?
38466What''d he look like?
38466What''s happened?
38466What''s he want, Joe?
38466What''s the idea?
38466What''s the idea?
38466What''s the idea?
38466What''s the rush, Delancy? 38466 What''s this-- the well known blackout?"
38466What''s this?
38466What''s this?
38466What''s worth it?
38466What''s wrong with that?
38466What?
38466When what happened?
38466Where do you get them?
38466Where have they been keeping the kid?
38466Who are they?
38466Who do we see now?
38466Who is it?
38466Who is the Eye?
38466Who is this?
38466Who''s Burkey?
38466Who, then, is the Eye?
38466Who-- who are you?
38466Who?
38466Why did he want you to follow me?
38466Why?
38466Yeah?
38466Yes, please?
38466Yes; yes?
38466You found it?
38466You know you''re over an hour late?
38466You mean me, d- d- don''t you?
38466You mean what?
38466You phoned the lieutenant, did n''t you?
38466You see what I can do with you? 38466 You think you''ll get there, weaving around that way?"
38466You think you''re going to a funeral?
38466You told him--?
38466You''re a relative?
38466You''re a reporter with one of the local sheets, are n''t you?
38466You''re worrying about the Black Hood, huh?
38466A cop walked over and said,"What''s this?"
38466A man''s got ta live up to his reputation, do n''t he?"
38466A signal, Black Hood wondered?
38466An extension of the one in the office, he wondered?
38466And having broken into the store with intent to rob, as you seem to think, would I be silly enough to fall on my head and knock myself out?"
38466And nobody knocked off?"
38466And then Lasseroe said,"You''ve got a lot of influence around this town, have n''t you, Daisy?"
38466And then you was wised up to this job, was n''t you?"
38466Burkey said,"How the hell could I do that?"
38466But do you know that Carlson was betrayed by a woman named Vida Gervais?
38466But if Black Hood_ was_ guiltless-- this had never occurred to Barbara before-- if he was actually guiltless, why had he never let her see his face?
38466But let''s get going, huh?"
38466But what I want most is a signed confession--""What did you say you were?"
38466But-- but how did it happen, Sid?"
38466Could it be that Carlson was the Eye?
38466Could it possibly be true?
38466Delancy jerked his head at the woman and asked of the proprietor:"Who''s that, Burkey?"
38466Did they notice that the regular light bulbs in his garage had been replaced with ultra- violet bulbs?"
38466Do n''t death make a guy look natural, huh?"
38466Do n''t you think so?"
38466Do you get that?
38466Doing big things?
38466Doing big things?
38466Eh, Mr. Peck?
38466Er-- seems to be quite dead, does n''t he?"
38466First of all, is it reasonable to suppose that I would crack open a jewelry store just to get those few diamonds there on the desk?
38466Funny is n''t it?"
38466He frowned at Frey and said,"What have you got?"
38466He heard Jeff Weedham say:"D- d- did anybody look in the library?"
38466He heard a gruff voice which might well have been that of the man Burkey, say:"Is this the Eye?"
38466He looked at the cops and said,"Pretty fast, was n''t it?
38466He raised his eyes and said,"Is Harry-- dead?"
38466He said,"Can we make a late double feature?"
38466He said,"I guess this will fix everything, huh Jeff?"
38466He said,"What do you want with me?"
38466He said,"You think there''s no other out for me, huh?
38466He was saying,"What''re you crying the blues about?
38466Hey-- where you goin''?"
38466Hood?"
38466Hood?"
38466How can you be sure?"
38466How was such a thing possible?
38466How''d things go downtown today, Lou?"
38466I never figured--""_ You_--you never figured that?"
38466I no hava ta be afraid, yes?"
38466I''m steppin''on it, ai n''t I?"
38466I....""Tox-- tox...?"
38466Is he an accountant?"
38466Is she the woman whose face powder was smeared on Jack Carlson''s lapel?
38466Is that correct, Sergeant McGinty?"
38466Is the Eye this same guy known as the Black Hood?"
38466It is all very legitimate and lucrative--""What are you, a census taker?"
38466It sounds good, eh?"
38466It''s pretty early, for a heist, ai n''t it?
38466Miss Rillette is expecting me, is n''t she--?"
38466Now, Mr. Ward, is the motive clear?"
38466See what I mean?"
38466She blinked a few times and then she said,"What happened-- and when?"
38466She looked back at Frey and her eyes were tired as she said,"How close did you follow me?"
38466She said,"Indeed?"
38466So the Eye thought he had escaped, did he?
38466So what does he do?
38466Tess Rillette was saying,"I told you, Mr. Frey-- you were letting yourself in for a lot of difficulty, and--""Do I turn here?"
38466This would result in more long, laborious and expensive litigation-- to the Government, the writer, the publisher, doctors, detectives and what not?
38466Want to take a squint at him?"
38466Was it true?
38466What slipped?
38466What''s the matter, anyway?"
38466What--?"
38466Where did you get it?"
38466Where''s that Sergeant McGinty?"
38466Who are you?
38466Who but a perverted genius could have planned so completely, so thoroughly that not even prison walls offered any sort of a barrier?
38466Who the hell are you, checking up on me?
38466Why, what does this mean?"
38466Why, you''re slipping, are n''t you, Joe?"
38466Why?
38466Will you attend to that Christian?
38466You killed Duggin-- why-- why--?"
38466You never figured-- you-- you was dumb?"
38466You see what that means, Hermit?"
38466You the Eye''s moll?"
38466You think Black Hood is on your tail?"
38466You understand?"
38466You want speed cops on your tail, Delancy?"
38466You--""How do you know this?
38466he said skeptically,"And while I was tying you in knots, what would you be doing?"
38466yes?"
29721''Honor bright?'' 29721 ''How do you know what happened?''
29721''More eagles?'' 29721 ''No matter,''I says;''can I come up?''
29721''Riverbank Country Club, Duffers''Golf Trophy, 1909?''
29721''What''s that?'' 29721 A barn?"
29721A fellow can love you in jail, ca n''t he?
29721A fellow can tie a knot, or he can un- tie it, ca n''t he? 29721 A hundred dollars, eh?"
29721A stone on it, and the river?
29721About what?
29721Ai n''t I been sayin''that right along?
29721Ai n''t I been tellin''you you was a fool to be scared of an old feller like White- Whiskers? 29721 Ai n''t I?"
29721Ai n''t detectives wonderful?
29721Ai n''t it curyus how a feller catches onto a thing like that all to once?
29721Ai n''t it?
29721Ai n''t it?
29721Ai n''t that better than beatin''him up?
29721Ai n''t you heerd?
29721Ai n''t you told the police?
29721Am I?
29721And did Mr. O''Hara say anything more on the occasion when you signed the will?
29721And did you get him?
29721And does the name Jones bring back the memory of any rememberance to you?
29721And have him be the first man- monkey to speak the human language, only he''s got a cold and ca n''t talk to- day? 29721 And he ai n''t ever hit you yet?"
29721And he came back?
29721And he says,''Snooks, did you hear what the Ladies''Temperance League did last night?'' 29721 And if Schreckenheim did those claws, you''ll take Syrilla away from this show?
29721And maybe you do n''t recall who ever bought writing- paper like this into the case here?
29721And no clue?
29721And now, having shown our unity of interest with young Mr. Turner, there can be no harm in telling us where that beer is, can there?
29721And now, how aged was the dog when he was purloined away from you?
29721And so you came up here to my office to hide whilst bathing in so- called ice- water at Mister Gribble''s?
29721And the fiends in human form that stole him are to be given the full limit of the law?
29721And then come back and tell you what it says?
29721And then what?
29721And what did that say?
29721And what did you read?
29721And what does Wiggins remark on that subject?
29721And what happened?
29721And what if she does?
29721And what''s your name?
29721And you can arrest a feller and lodge him in jail?
29721And you do n''t care, dearie, that I''ll be creepy all through the show, do you?
29721And you was there?
29721And you would have dared to pull the trigger?
29721And, when found,said Mr. Gubb,"the said stolen goods is to be returned to you?"
29721And_ do_ you think you''ll do any good?
29721Are they in this house?
29721Are ye foolin''?
29721Are you Detective Gubb? 29721 Are you Mr. Philo Gubb?"
29721Are you going to leave the thing in Gubb''s hands?
29721Are you hungry again?
29721Are you out from the Rising Sun Deteckative Agency yourself?
29721Are you prepared to contract to say you''ll pay me just for hunting for him?
29721Are you ready to die?
29721Are you this here detective feller?
29721Aunt Martha Turner? 29721 Billy,"he said severely,"is this another of your jokes?"
29721Bilton had n''t signed that side?
29721Boss,he said with a laugh,"I showed you where that murdered man''s bones was buried, wo n''t you stake me to a meal?"
29721Burns?
29721But I guess it will be-- hey, old pal? 29721 But how about putting Correspondence School Detective Gubb onto the job?"
29721But how can you tell what''s goin''to happen?
29721But some one was your guardian in charge of you, no doubt?
29721But what would I say when I lectured about him? 29721 But wo n''t you come out?"
29721But you did n''t?
29721But you were here?
29721But, Snooksy,begged Mrs. Turner,"do n''t you know they''ll send me to the penitentiary if you go back to that old jail?"
29721By any chance of doubt,he said,"do you happen to be aware of whom wrote this?"
29721Ca n''t you keep still?
29721Can you remove those stains?
29721Can you tell me, from your knowledge and belief, if the work there done was the work of a Mr. Herr Schreckenheim?
29721Claws? 29721 Clue?"
29721Come for the dog?
29721Common sense would tell you that, would n''t it? 29721 Could I have the pleasure of taking a look into that there room for a moment of time?"
29721Could n''t you borry an ape from the menagerie?
29721Could n''t you put Orlando in it, and get up a spiel about him?
29721Crowds? 29721 Detecting ai n''t very good right now?"
29721Detective?
29721Did I understand the meaning of what you said was that you saw a Fat Lady named Syrilla?
29721Did Mother Smith put you onto me?
29721Did he fight you?
29721Did n''t we tell him we was goin''East ourselves? 29721 Did she send you?"
29721Did you do all that?
29721Did you notice which side he had not signed?
29721Did you see a man in the window across the street? 29721 Did you see the pistol?"
29721Did you tell him it was upstairs, in bed?
29721Did you, indeed?
29721Did you?
29721Dinner? 29721 Dinner?"
29721Disguised up?
29721Do n''t I know it?
29721Do n''t I know that?
29721Do n''t seem hardly necess''ry, does it?
29721Do n''t you love your old auntie any more? 29721 Do n''t you think I know my own name?
29721Do n''t youse even know the right name of that wall- paper there, that''s been a Six Best Seller for the last three years?
29721Do you desire to wish me to understand that they are not the work of Mr. Herr Schreckenheim?
29721Do you know Jack Harburger?
29721Do you know what you have there?
29721Do you know where Mustard Bilton is now?
29721Do you know which you signed last?
29721Do you think I would be taken in by a child''s trick like this? 29721 Do you think a common faker like that could hoodwink_ me_?
29721Do you want to earn half a dollar?
29721Do youse see them printings?
29721Does a dog- house drive all of ye crazy? 29721 Does he?"
29721Does-- does she glance through to about near to page fourteen?
29721Except for that, you''ve got her all right, have you?
29721Expecting me?
29721Explain?
29721Fife hunderdt dollars? 29721 Fight?
29721Get a line on Herman Wiggins or some of his crew, understand? 29721 Got it open?
29721Got it?
29721Got some breakfast for this feller?
29721Gubb,he said,"did that fellow tell you what his business was?"
29721Gubb? 29721 Half for you and half for me?"
29721Has the aforesaid impostor been to see_ you_?
29721Have you any clue?
29721Have you got it now?
29721Have you heard from Miss Syrilla recently of late?
29721He did?
29721He is n''t in any way interested in my affairs or in the affairs of Mrs. Henry K. Lippett, is he?
29721He is, is he?
29721He''d know you?
29721Hide?
29721Hit me?
29721Honest?
29721How I done it?
29721How about it, Chicago man?
29721How big is the size of the pig?
29721How do I know what he is?
29721How do you detect, by the day or by the job?
29721How goes it for to- night, Philo?
29721How is he shootin''you to death?
29721How long have you been married?
29721How much might you pay to be let work on a case like that?
29721How''bout it, ma?
29721How''d I know but what you was a detective?
29721How?
29721Hungry?
29721I can see that,said Mr. Gubb;"but what''s the use lettin''me win it if I''ve got to bring it back?"
29721I come back here time after time--"Did you do the murder here?
29721I come to you, did n''t I?
29721I come up because I thought maybe you''d want to hire him right off to find out who was them pirates, and if--"Me? 29721 I do n''t suppose,"said Mr. Gubb, when he had screwed up his courage,"you have had no telegraphic communications from Miss Syrilla?"
29721I hope to get the eleven thousand two hundred and sixty dollars I owe you paid up--"Where do you get that?
29721I meet him at your room, do I?
29721I presume to suppose,he said,"that Mr. Wiggins asked the stock- keeper for a new bulb to replace one that was burned out?"
29721I said to Gribble,said Mr. Witzel slowly,"''Gribble, is this the town where a detective by the name of Grubb lives?''"
29721I say, old chap,he said in a pleasant and well- bred tone,"stop waving that dangerous- looking weapon at me, will you?
29721I told you Henry--"Yes?
29721I told you I''d got to learn it better, did n''t I?
29721I wonder if William J. Burns has a son? 29721 I''d look nice explainin''anything, would n''t I?
29721I''d make a guess that Mrs. Canterby do n''t buy her writing- paper off you neither?
29721If I gave you five dollars to hire you to hunt for them, could you find them seven bottles of beer and that beer- opener, for me? 29721 If you wish to help us in this case, Miss Kilfillan,"he said,"will you go to the jail and ask Snooks where is the beer and the beer- opener?"
29721In Derlingport?
29721In his room? 29721 In other words,"said Mr. Burch,"you signed one side before Mr. Bilton signed and one side after he signed, but you do n''t know which?"
29721In referring to human form, ma''am,he asked,"do you include them oorangootangs and apes?"
29721Indeed? 29721 Is the oubliette prepared?"
29721Is there anything in my lines I can be doing for you to- day?
29721It ai n''t, ai n''t it?
29721It stands to reason, if a crook wants to be a crook, he''s got to be crooked, ai n''t he?
29721Kin you he''p a feller out?
29721Knowin''you are a detective makes me all nervous,complained Mr. Critz;"and a man in my business has to have a steady hand, do n''t he?"
29721Let me go, will you, Wittaker? 29721 Like Misder Vestcote, yes?
29721Look there, dearie,said Syrilla suddenly to Princess Zozo,"do n''t that cowboy look like Mr. Gubb that was at Bardville and got the golf cup?"
29721Married? 29721 Me?
29721Me?
29721Metterbrook? 29721 Mike Higgs?"
29721Mister Dorgan,he said, in quite another tone than he had used to his laborers,"should I fetch that wild man cage to the grounds for you to- day?"
29721Mr. Gubb,said Judge Mackinnon suddenly,"would you be betraying a professional secret if you told us how you found this document?"
29721Mr. P. Gubb, the detective?
29721Mr. Philo Gubb?
29721Murdered Henry?
29721Nine, eh?
29721Nobody''d know a swell dresser like I am in this rig, would he? 29721 Not Chones, eh?"
29721Now, then, what is this now? 29721 Now, then,"said Philo Gubb, when he had arranged his captive to suit his taste,"what you got to say?"
29721Now, this case of mine-- What sort of a case_ would_ you pay to work on?
29721Now, what do you say, Detective Gubb? 29721 Now, what is all this?"
29721Now, you''re Gubb, the detective, ai n''t you? 29721 Oh, this here paper- hanging and decorating stuff?
29721Oh, would you?
29721Oh, yes, I did hide, did n''t I? 29721 Old Hard- Boiled?
29721On both sides,said Mr. Gubb,"and who comes to your house most?"
29721One hundred dollars, eh?
29721One of what?
29721Paper- hanging or deteckating?
29721Paper- hanging?
29721Pay for bein''allowed to sharpen up and keep bright? 29721 Petunia wrote it,"said Mrs. Canterby promptly,"and whatever are you being so mysterious for?
29721Pinkish, and bald? 29721 Possible?"
29721Really, indeed?
29721Right now?
29721Right on time with the first frosty breeze, ai n''t you? 29721 Sal?"
29721Say, Gubb, where''s Aunt Martha?
29721Say, friend, how about givin''a feller some breakfast?
29721Say, me a paper- hanger?
29721Say, pard,he said,"how about giving me a bite?
29721Say, what''s the joke O''Hara was cookin''up, anyway?
29721Say,he said,"cut that out, wo n''t you, cully?
29721Says 7462 B J, do n''t it?
29721See here, bo,he said suddenly,"is this straight about you being a detective, or is that a bluff, too?"
29721See here, if he''s shootin''at me like that, it ai n''t no joke, is it? 29721 See?"
29721She and him has been boardin''with Mother Smith, ai n''t they? 29721 She''s gone out, has she?"
29721So Gribble says to me,said Mr. Witzel,"''Why do n''t you and Gubb combine?''
29721So the question is, old chap, where am I to be panted?
29721So you are going to work on this Smitz case, are you? 29721 So you wo n''t interfere with Joe in the pursoot of his dooty no more, will you, Gubby?"
29721So, then what? 29721 So?"
29721Somebody named with that cognomen is writing letters to you like a Black Hand would?
29721Tactfulness is strongly advised into the lessons of the Rising Sun Deteckative Agency Correspondence School of Deteckating--"Slocum, Ohio?
29721That Winterberry? 29721 That ai n''t a square game,"said Mr. Gubb seriously,"is it?"
29721That ai n''t any reason I ca n''t sell it, is it? 29721 That feller with the white whiskers?"
29721That mail- order detective? 29721 That so?"
29721That what could n''t be?
29721That''s odd, ai n''t it?
29721That''s our affair, ai n''t it?
29721That''s so, ai n''t it?
29721The Pet is goin''into that cage-- see?
29721The remains of what?
29721The widow?
29721Then why do n''t you arrest yourself and get the reward?
29721Then you know nothing regarding the-- the articles young Turner is charged with stealing?
29721Thousand dollars?
29721Threatened what?
29721Through?
29721To what kid do you refer to?
29721Turbine?
29721Und how does she get those claws on her?
29721Under Mr. Bilton''s name again?
29721Want me to scare him?
29721Was it this side that mentions Mrs. Doblin, or this side that mentions Mrs. Kinsey? 29721 Was the news into it good?"
29721Was this a rooster or a hen?
29721Was you ever shot with a cannon?
29721Was-- was there one?
29721We tol''him one thousand, did n''t we? 29721 We want to make him disgorge first, do n''t we?
29721Well, I put the pea down like this, and I dare you to bet which shell she''s goin''to be under, and you do n''t bet, see? 29721 Well, did you get it?"
29721Well, he was, was n''t he?
29721Well, just because him and me had words in fun,said Mr. Wiggins,"I leave it to you, ca n''t a man say words in fun once in a while?"
29721Well, what if I did buy it?
29721Well, what is it now?
29721Well, why do n''t you hunt for it, then?
29721Well, you got plated spoons and forks, ai n''t you?
29721Well,''twa''n''t ourn, was it?
29721Well?
29721What beer and what beer- opener?
29721What bulb?
29721What can I aim to do for you?
29721What crime?
29721What cup?
29721What did Miss Syrilla convey the remark of?
29721What did Mrs. Canterby say when she asked for ink and you did n''t have none?
29721What did he do?
29721What did he want?
29721What did it do?
29721What did you do with them?
29721What did you hide for?
29721What do you know about beer and beer- openers?
29721What do you think about it?
29721What do you want I should do?
29721What do you want me to find out?
29721What do you want to ask him?
29721What do you want to know for?
29721What if we have?
29721What in the dickens are you, anyway?
29721What is it?
29721What is it?
29721What is it?
29721What is it?
29721What is that letter, anyway?
29721What is the truth?
29721What is this?
29721What kind of a clue was you lookin''for?
29721What seemed to be the reason you said that?
29721What the dickens?
29721What was it you thought of having me do if I was n''t a deteckative?
29721What was it?
29721What was it?
29721What was the chicken worth?
29721What would I read?
29721What you come about was this-- this--he looked at the letter in his hand--"this Bald Impostor, was n''t it?"
29721What you hear about Farry and the widow?
29721What you want Ah shu''d do fo''it?
29721What you want me to do, is to find Mr. Winterberry, ai n''t it?
29721What you want with it?
29721What''d he find up there?
29721What''d he have to do?
29721What''s a clue, anyway?
29721What''s that you remarked about?
29721What''s the matter? 29721 What''s the matter?"
29721What''s the matter?
29721What''s the use gabbin''about it?
29721What''s the use? 29721 What''s this about arrest?"
29721What''s this for?
29721What''s this now?
29721What''s this?
29721What''s up now? 29721 What''s up?"
29721What''s your rush? 29721 What-- what does he shoot you with?"
29721What?
29721What?
29721Where are they?
29721Where did you say you was?
29721Where''s my cup?
29721Which did you sign last?
29721Which side had n''t he signed?
29721Who had a fit?
29721Who is Sal?
29721Who told you I was suffering from the symptom of a fit?
29721Who told you that?
29721Who was up?
29721Who you detectin''for now?
29721Who you goin''to fool, sweety?
29721Who?
29721Why ca n''t I do it?
29721Why did you say that?
29721Why do n''t you say it?
29721Why not broken into?
29721Why''n''t you come up and ask me to throw my money into the river?
29721Why, he was here the night of the dynamiting-- wasn''t he, boys?
29721Why, killing Hen Smitz-- what crime did you think?
29721Why, sport, I''ve hung more wall- paper than youse ever saw, see? 29721 Why?"
29721Why?
29721Widow Wilmerton''s boy?
29721Will you step inside into the room?
29721Winterberry?
29721With the-- with the_ what_?
29721With who? 29721 Wo n''t he come out?"
29721Wo n''t you be seated upon one of them bundles of wall- paper?
29721Wo n''t you take a seat onto a chair?
29721Yar, hey?
29721Yes, but they''re not on me now, are they?
29721Yes, sir, Mr. Gubb, Mr.--ah, what is it?
29721Yes, sir?
29721Yes,said the Judge,"and Mr. O''Hara blotted it with a piece of blotting- paper, did he not?"
29721Yes?
29721You a Tasmanian Wild Man?
29721You ai n''t been after the dynamiters, have you?
29721You ai n''t got a locket with the photo''of your mother''s picture into it?
29721You are, hey?
29721You did what?
29721You do n''t aim to believe nothing of that sort, do you?
29721You do n''t aim to_ sell_ the gold- brick to him, do you?
29721You do n''t believe in transmigration, do you?
29721You do n''t expect to find your missing party in that wad of wool, do you, Gubb?
29721You do n''t mean old Mr. Westcote, do you?
29721You do n''t object to my attempting to try?
29721You do n''t think you look like a Tasmanian Wild Man, do you? 29721 You do n''t, hey?"
29721You get that reward, do n''t you?
29721You have done nothing yet?
29721You have possession of the Waffles dog at the present time?
29721You know me and Snooksy was always chums, do n''t you, Gubby? 29721 You left the pig alone in the alley by itself?"
29721You mean you fixed it with Beech so you could tell fortunes here?
29721You never knew Henry K. Lippett, did you?
29721You remember when Griggs''& Barton''s Circus burned down years ago? 29721 You removed it away from there?"
29721You spend most of your evenings with or about her, I presume to suppose?
29721You will work on this case, Mr. Gubb, wo n''t you?
29721You''ll go ahead with the case? 29721 You''re a dandy detective, ai n''t you?
29721You''re a paper- hanger, ai n''t you?
29721You''re who?
29721You''ve seen him have a pea- shooter?
29721You?
29721You_ do n''t_ believe I could do it, do you?
29721You_ will_ get Snooks out of jail, wo n''t you? 29721 Your boat is not into a workable condition?"
29721Your lady- friend is considerably generous in giving things, ai n''t she?
29721''Cause why?
29721''Gus,''I says,''where''s Henry?''
29721''My dear young lady,''I said,''is Mr. Gribble in?''
29721''Where''ll I sign it?''
29721786?"
29721Ai n''t Mother Smith been handin''the Chicken money when he needed it, because he said he was workin''up this job with us?
29721Ai n''t five hundred enough?
29721Ai n''t that so, Pete?"
29721Ai n''t that so?
29721All I want to know is-- where are they?
29721All this is strictly confidential, of course?
29721Always right on the job when there''s crime being done, ai n''t you?
29721And B J-- that''s Bessie John-- that tells youse what the coloring is, see?
29721And I started to say back something pleasant, but what I said was,''Please, missus, wo n''t you give a poor cove a hand- out?''"
29721And did n''t you see him again at Derlingport?
29721And now, will you just come across the hall for one minute?"
29721And she would hand you a book, and when you looked at page fourteen, and read the first full sentence on the page, what would you read?"
29721And what did I do?
29721And what did it matter?
29721And what do you think it did?"
29721And what do you think that pig did?"
29721And what is moreover also, the pig is an educated show- pig, and its name is Henry, and--""And what?"
29721And when the Chicken do n''t come back, ai n''t she goin''to guess something happened to the Chicken?"
29721And your meals?"
29721Are they all like this?"
29721Bessie John is the regular nature coloring, see?
29721Bilton?"
29721Blue eyes?
29721Broken into?
29721But did n''t Sal know all three of us was goin''out on that job that night?
29721But facts are facts, ai n''t they?"
29721But how did it come that he had pansy stains on the knees of his trousers?
29721But hurry up, will you?"
29721But should we, as citizens, and as members of the Prohibition Party, permit you, Mr. Gubb, to land Aunt Martha Turner in the calaboose?"
29721But you do n''t believe it could have been Henry, do you?
29721Can you inform me where a chap can get a pair of trousers hereabout?"
29721Canterby?"
29721Cat fights?
29721Could I not save all expense of tights by having myself tattooed so that my skin would represent scales?
29721Could you?"
29721Critz?"
29721Cudding across der corner, yes, und did n''t see der vire?"
29721Did n''t I set him up in business here, to get rid of him?
29721Did n''t they put us onto you?"
29721Did n''t you see him at Bureau?"
29721Did you ever hear of Mr. Herr Schreckenheim?"
29721Did you ever hear of a sheriff?"
29721Dig into it, hey?"
29721Divorce case evidence, hey?
29721Do n''t I know my own name?"
29721Do n''t he owe me a good turn?"
29721Do n''t say anybody made away with the Chicken, see?
29721Do n''t the Ladies''Aid of the Second Baptist Church have the exclusive fortune- telling privilege?
29721Do n''t we?"
29721Do n''t you love her at all any more?"
29721Do you know, that pig walks on its hind feet like a man?
29721Do you-- do you know where the beer is?"
29721Does youse?"
29721Ef I hand you somethin''is you gwine take it?"
29721Ever hear of Henry, the Educated Pig?
29721Ever hear of Hogo, the Human Trilobite?
29721Ever hear of John, the Educated Horse?
29721First thing you know you''ll be soused, and if you are, and anything turns up, what''ll I do?
29721For who were the two rough characters he had seen tampering with the case containing the remains of the Pet?
29721Forever?"
29721Get it?"
29721Gobb?"
29721Got any of the ghouls yet?"
29721Got to air the camphor out of the false hair, eh?"
29721Gubb?"
29721Gubb?"
29721Gubb?"
29721Gubb?"
29721Gubb?"
29721Gubb?"
29721Gubb?"
29721Gubb?"
29721Have n''t I, Zozo?"
29721Have you a gun?"
29721Have you ever chanced to happen to notice some tattoo work upon the arm of Miss Syrilla of this side- show?"
29721Have you found the body of the Chicken?
29721Have you pencil and paper?
29721He ai n''t got a scar across his face?
29721He leads a dual life, a sort of Jekyll- Hyde life--""But what if I caught him?"
29721He was dangerous enough, then, to be thought worthy of death?
29721He_ may_ be pure spirit, floating in Nirvana, and come to us as a pure spirit, but what if his life was not all it should have been on earth?
29721Heard from Detective Gubb yet?"
29721Hey?"
29721Himself?"
29721Hire a fool detective?"
29721Honest, when I butted in here and saw that there Dietz''s 7462 Bessie John on the wall--""That what?"
29721How can we get rid of the beer?"
29721How did that get there?"
29721How do you know he broke out?"
29721How much is it?"
29721How say?"
29721How''d I know who''twas?
29721How''d you like that?"
29721How''s he killing you?
29721How''s that?"
29721Huh?
29721I ai n''t the one that did the crime, am I?
29721I ai n''t too late, am I?"
29721I bet the Chicken owed Mother Smith a hundred dollars, and when he do n''t come back, then what?
29721I brought you ten dollars-- it is all I have left of last month''s wages, but it will help a little, wo n''t it?"
29721I can speak right out, Mr. Gubb?
29721I could n''t bring a man back to life in his own form or any other form, could I?"
29721I do n''t know anything about you, do I?
29721I do some claws on you, do n''t I, ven I do dot eagle?"
29721I presume you come to talk about the per diem charge I charged to you, did n''t you?"
29721I said I would talk to him, did n''t I?
29721I told Miss Scroggs when she asked for ink--""And what did you tell Mrs. Canterby when she asked for ink?"
29721I wonder if I might be permitted, on behalf of the powerful interests I represent, to contribute to the expense of the work you will do?"
29721I''d sort of whine at him and say,''Mister, wo n''t you give a poor feller a penny for to hire a bed?''
29721I''ll tell Marshal Wittaker you will get on the trail?"
29721I''m goin''over to my room now, and give him the money--""What money?"
29721I''m your pardner, ai n''t I?
29721I''ve got all the instincts of a real society lady and sometimes it irks me awful not to be able to let myself loose and bant like--""Pant?"
29721If he did, we''ll blow him up to- morrow night, hey?"
29721If he was where I could fall over him, I would n''t need a detective, would I?
29721If we fix it so you can grab him, will you split the reward with us?"
29721If you come up there with me--""Look here,"said Chi Foxy,"will you buy me a feed on the way up if I go with you?"
29721If you just wait until I excuse myself to Miss Scroggs--""Is she here?"
29721If you want to come in, why do n''t you come right in,''stead of snoopin''an''sneakin''an''fallin''in that way?"
29721In his bed?"
29721Is it a go?"
29721Is that Attorney Mullen?''
29721Is there, or is there not, a law against such things as happened at my house?"
29721Is this job complete?
29721It ai n''t goin''to do me no good, is it?"
29721It was all right-- nice trip-- until we got to Dubuque, and then what happened?
29721It was then he heard a voice:--"Say, are you the feller they call Bugg?"
29721It would n''t be nobody''s business but yours and mine, would it?
29721It''s only right that a thief should pay for the time and trouble he puts you to, ai n''t it?"
29721JONAS MEDDERBROOK"You did n''t actually come here to find Mr. Winterberry, did you?"
29721Just because I''ve bought one or two gold- bricks in my day ai n''t any reason I should n''t go to sellin''''em, is it?"
29721Just because a man buys eggs once-- or twice-- ain''t any reason he should n''t go into the business of egg- selling, is it?
29721Just say to the Chief:''And havin''trailed him this far, Mr. Wittaker, and arranged to have him took with the goods, it''s up to you?''
29721Ladies Tuesdays and Wednesdays Only?''"
29721Left a dozen solid silver spoons engraved with your wife''s initials?
29721Lippett?"
29721Look at the end without the knot-- was that cut or was n''t it?"
29721Looks like youse could walk right into it and pick hickory nuts off them oak trees, do n''t it?
29721Married?
29721Maybe he was consultin''ye about gettin''clear iv th''charge ag''inst him?"
29721Maybe if I was to pay you for your time and trouble five dollars a night?
29721Mayhap he was speakin''t''ye iv his arrist?"
29721Medderbrook?"
29721Mettercrook?"
29721Might I trouble you for the loan of a spade or shovel?"
29721Mr. Millbrook?
29721Mr. Philo Gubb, the detective?
29721Murderer?
29721Nice night for goin''out, ai n''t it?
29721Nothing taken?
29721Now what is the answer?"
29721Now, is this a threatening letter or a scurrilous letter?"
29721Now, what''s all this nonsense about shooting me?"
29721Now, where would you rush out to borrow a book if you wanted to borrow one in a hurry?"
29721Now, which is she?"
29721Now, who was murdered, and when was he murdered, and why was he murdered?
29721O''Toole?"
29721Old Had''was bound to have his joke, was n''t he?"
29721On the terms we settled on?"
29721Only--""Yes?"
29721Ought I to arrest the elephants and the camels?"
29721P. Gubb therefore welcomed gladly Miss Petunia Scroggs when she came to his office in the Opera House Block and said:"Mr. Gubb?
29721Pigs do n''t do that, do they?
29721Sal will say she ai n''t got no money because the Chicken quit her, and Mother Smith will--""Well, what?"
29721Say, Gubby, what does this old guy look like?"
29721Say, did he have a coughin''spell and choke red in the face?
29721Say, pard, how about giving me a half- dollar to get breakfast?
29721See what I want?"
29721See?
29721See?
29721See?
29721See?"
29721She is not here?"
29721She''d think:''What will Miss Petunia do when she finds she has n''t any page fourteens to look at?
29721She''s the girl that knows good raisins, ai n''t she?"
29721Short and plump, and a reg''lar old nice grandpa?
29721Slow poison?"
29721Smith?"
29721So he puts his hand on my shoulder and he says,''Mike, ai n''t you carryin''the joke a bit too far?''
29721Straight detective work?
29721Tell Sal the Chicken flew the coop himself, see?"
29721That was funny, was n''t it?
29721That''s how it is, ai n''t it?"
29721That''s not the way I expect a jay- town easy- mark--""I beg your pardon, but what was that term of phrase you called me?"
29721That''s understood?"
29721That''s what it says, ai n''t it?"
29721The chicken was a fancy bird, ai n''t it so?"
29721The few sleepy passengers did not open their eyes; the conductor, as he took Mr. Gubb''s ticket, merely remarked,"Joining the show at West Higgins?"
29721The question is,''Did you murder him alone, or did you and William Gribble murder him together?''"
29721The question was: Who was the murderer?
29721The third window on the top floor?"
29721There''s the eagle you did on me-- do you see any claws on it?
29721They hate it, but what else can they say?
29721They''ve been on me since I was a little girl no bigger than-- why, who is that?"
29721This here stuff will be just as safe in there as in a bank, see?
29721This here wall- paper feller Dietz-- he makes this here paper, do n''t he?
29721Top of his head like a hard- boiled egg?
29721Und it is his cup?"
29721Understand?
29721Understand?
29721Understand?"
29721Us detectives ought to have es-_spirit dee corpse_, hey?
29721Was askin''Pete about you not a minute ago-- wasn''t I, Pete?"
29721Was we going to let Chicago Chicken bash our heads in just because we stood up for our rights?
29721Watcha doin''up there?
29721We ought to stick by each other, hey?"
29721We''re right clost onto''em now, ai n''t we, Joe?
29721Well, what was he follerin''us that way for when he told us at Joliet he was goin''East?"
29721Well, you got to have the corpus what- you- call- it, ai n''t you?
29721What are your own spoons, solid or plated?"
29721What did I say to you, Gribble?"
29721What did she have to do with Slippery Williams?"
29721What did you do with the corpse?"
29721What do I care for her now?
29721What do you know about the Griscom un- burglary?"
29721What do you mean by-- if you''ll please let-- you are Detective Gubb, are you not?"
29721What do you think of that?
29721What had they been putting in the case?
29721What if his spirit has passed into a lower form as a punishment for misdeeds?
29721What kind of a key, Mr. Millbrook?
29721What say you, Philo Gubb?"
29721What say?
29721What sort of a job is it you have on hand?"
29721What would I call him?
29721What you lookin''so funny about?"
29721What''s goin''to turn up''way out here?"
29721What''s that got to do with it?"
29721What''s that?
29721What''s that?"
29721What''s the laugh part?"
29721What''s the use talkin''?"
29721What?
29721When?"
29721Where are the eagle''s claws?
29721Where in the U.S.A. did_ you_ come from?"
29721Where is the body?"
29721Where is the cup?"
29721Where''s Miss Turner?"
29721Which was it?"
29721Who are you, anyway?"
29721Who do you suppose is trying to take the honor of town cut- up from you?"
29721Who is that?"
29721Who is the feller you think is doin''it?"
29721Who sent you here, anyway?"
29721Why do n''t you ask him to come over and help at the eats?
29721Why do n''t you hunt for it?"
29721Why had he not taken ten chickens?
29721Why?"
29721Why?"
29721Will you do it?
29721With Slippery Williams?"
29721Wo n''t you be a good boy for your poor old auntie?
29721Wo n''t you, dearie?"
29721Would I let on?
29721Would you believe it possible that I ai n''t dared to eat a pickle for over seven years, because it might start me on the thinward road?"
29721Would you rather see me go to prison-- suffer?"
29721You ai n''t after no more crim''nals, are you?"
29721You ai n''t got a notion he''s a detective?"
29721You are a detective, and I''m a detective, Witzel or Wotzel or Wutzel-- who cares?
29721You do n''t believe that, do you?"
29721You do n''t know anybody you could recommend for a gang, do you?"
29721You do n''t recall which was on the paper when you signed, do you?"
29721You fall ofer der vire too, yes?"
29721You have heard he is in jail?"
29721You knew that, did n''t you?"
29721You see, bo, I was a young feller when I murdered this old miser--""What did you say his name was?"
29721You understand?"
29721You vant dem pressed too?"
29721You vos sure he vos not Chones?"
29721You were going to introduce him to me, do n''t you see?"
29721You will?"
29721You wo n''t be offended if I ask you a question?"
29721You would n''t want no one shadowin''you when you was on a trail, would you, Gubby?"
29721Your head ai n''t solid ivory, is it?
29721Youse is a detective, Gubb; why do n''t youse get to work and grab them dollars?"
29721[ Illustration: HE WAS FOLLOWED BY A LARGE AND GROWING GROUP INTENT ON WATCHING A DETECTIVE DETECT]"Suicide?"
29721[ Illustration: UNDER HIS ARM HE CARRIED A SMALL BUNDLE] Old John Westcote, and pansy stains on his trouser knees, was it?
29721[ Illustration:"WHO SENT YOU HERE, ANYWAY?"]
29721cried Mrs. Phillipetti, stopping him as he was bustling past her booth,"_ do_ you know where Mr. Gubb is?"
29721in the''Hearthstone and Farmside,''did you?"
29721pattern, see?
29721said Chi Foxy,"So one day Shermlock says to me,''Mike you''re so good at this detecting work, why do n''t you try to solve The Great Mystery?''
29721says the Judge, tickled,"and how is your uncle, may I ask?"
29721that paper- hanger- detective fellow?
30477A foreigner, of course?
30477A jump? 30477 A man''s?"
30477A question-- what?
30477About Mrs. Petre, perhaps?
30477An English lady was your friend-- eh?
30477And expose her secret?
30477And his description has been circulated also?
30477And if she recognises that you suspect her?
30477And in your opinion, doctor, the deceased came by her death from a blow from such a weapon as you describe?
30477And may I call?
30477And she told you of Marie Bracq? 30477 And that is what?"
30477And the description of the deceased has been circulated?
30477And the laidee-- eh? 30477 And the last occasion was on the night when my friend was forced to fly, eh?"
30477And the motive of the crime?
30477And the police officials believed him-- eh?
30477And then-- afterwards?
30477And this was the well belonging to them?
30477And what about Miss Shand?
30477And what are his exact relations with Phrida?
30477And what do you know, m''sieur, regarding Marie Bracq?
30477And what have you decided regarding that letter offering to give information?
30477And what shall you do?
30477And what were the exact circumstances of Sir Digby''s death?
30477And who else did you expect to find?
30477And whom do you intend to bring up as witness against Miss Shand?
30477And you allege jealousy as the motive?
30477And you are seeking the truth-- in order to clear the woman you love?
30477And you carried the box home with you?
30477And you know him?
30477And you will not approach Phrida until you hear something from Brussels-- eh?
30477Another engagement?
30477Anyone I know?
30477Are there any others of the gang-- for there is, of course, a gang? 30477 Are they there?"
30477Are you endeavouring to make inquiry abroad concerning them?
30477Are you quite certain of that? 30477 Are you still so full of anxiety?
30477At my expense-- eh?
30477At this late hour? 30477 Because he wanted to tell me something-- to----""To tell you what?"
30477Because it would be betraying his secret-- eh?
30477Because what?
30477Because your secret is a guilty one-- eh?
30477Belgian? 30477 Besides, am I not assisting you?"
30477Bryant?
30477But I want to know the true position, if-- whether we are friends, or enemies? 30477 But did you not, only an hour ago, promise him to treat his successor in the same manner in which you had treated himself?"
30477But first, m''sieur, allow me to put observation upon the Poste Restante?
30477But have you discovered anything?
30477But if Digby knew that she was worthless, he would surely have made some remark to arouse my suspicion?
30477But if you see her, make no mention whatever of me-- you understand? 30477 But in this case, what are your natural inclinations?"
30477But may not the writers of such letters be endeavouring to fasten guilt upon perfectly innocent persons against whom they have spite?
30477But on this particular occasion, how did you know that Mrs. Petre and Horton were in the room with him?
30477But surely you are not going to believe the words of this woman Petre?
30477But tell me what you know?
30477But that hardly interferes with our friendship, does it? 30477 But the girl-- is she dead?"
30477But was this told to Cane?
30477But what could have been the method of the assassin?
30477But what do the authorities suspect?
30477But what is her injury?
30477But where is Cane now?
30477But who are her friends?
30477But who is the girl?
30477But who is this woman Petre whom you''ve mentioned?
30477But who was it who telephoned to me, do you think?
30477But who was the invalid? 30477 But whoever the poor girl may have been, you still maintain that Phrida Shand was Digby''s most deadly enemy?"
30477But why?
30477But why?
30477But, really, did n''t you penetrate it?
30477But, tell me, does your mistress have many callers?
30477But, tell me, is Miss Shand the same person as you have denounced as Digby''s enemy?
30477But, tell me, what does the woman say?
30477But, tell me,I urged,"have you been in London?
30477By whom, do you think?
30477By whom? 30477 Can not I assist you?
30477Can you tell me nothing concerning this Belgian girl?
30477Come in to- morrow at ten, will you?
30477Coming?
30477Could n''t you do it some other time?
30477Dare not? 30477 Did he go out much?"
30477Did he promise to call again?
30477Did not you yourself tell me that you, at Scotland Yard, always regarded lightly any anonymous communication?
30477Did something happen?
30477Did the lady ask for any letters?
30477Did you see him next morning?
30477Did your business necessitate your visiting all the hotels and music- halls?
30477Do n''t you think your mistress a rather curious person?
30477Do they know?
30477Do you actually anticipate extricating me from this terrible position of doubt, uncertainty, and guilt?
30477Do you know Melbourne House?
30477Do you know that?
30477Do you know?
30477Do you really believe that man?
30477Do you really believe that you can, dear?
30477Do you suspect that? 30477 Do you think that I, the man who loves you, is endeavouring to convict you of a crime?
30477Does the woman give her name?
30477Does your mistress have many visitors?
30477From Brussels, eh?
30477From him?
30477From mere curiosity-- eh?
30477Going to happen-- why?
30477Gone abroad, I suppose?
30477Has your mistress and her two servants left you suddenly like this before?
30477Have I not promised to protect you from those people?
30477Have n''t I already told you I am your friend?
30477Have others been entrapped, then?
30477Have you any idea where Digby is at this moment?
30477Have you any suspicion who killed the young lady?
30477Have you been thrown in there?
30477Have you ever met with knives with triangular blades, doctor?
30477Have you no theory as to what really occurred?
30477Have you yourself any suspicion that Miss Shand has knowledge of the affair?
30477He gave it to you when you bade him good- night, I suppose?
30477How can I believe you if you refuse to be frank and open with me?
30477How can I have-- except that my friend----"Is missing-- eh?
30477How can I thank you sufficiently for those words? 30477 How can we trace him?"
30477How can you do otherwise in these terrible circumstances?
30477How did you know that?
30477How do you know that?
30477How would he act?
30477How, pray, did you learn that a tragedy had occurred?
30477How?
30477How?
30477How?
30477How?
30477How?
30477I believed, madame, that you were in search of me?
30477I decline to believe ill of her, or to think that she could be guilty of a crime, or----"Of the assassination of Marie Bracq?
30477I know-- but----"But what?
30477I may at least be permitted to secure my papers before I leave here, and hand them over to you? 30477 I presume you are actively prosecuting inquiries?"
30477I see you Dinard-- Hotel Royal-- eh?
30477I suppose the fugitive Englishman is not with them?
30477I suppose you believe this native-- eh?
30477I suppose you''d better go into Colchester and see the police-- eh?
30477I suppose you''ll go back to Melbourne House and get even with the lady? 30477 I take it that her real name is not Marie Bracq?"
30477I thought your friend had disappeared?
30477I wonder what is her real name?
30477If I hear from him-- as I expect to-- how can I communicate with you?
30477If they heard you I wonder what they would say?
30477In Brussels?
30477In London?
30477Inquiry about what?
30477Is Mrs. Petre at home?
30477Is Mrs. Petre at home?
30477Is anyone else at home?
30477Is it long ago since you last saw Digby?
30477Is it so very important? 30477 Is not my suggestion the true one?"
30477Is she a Belgian subject?
30477Is she the enemy of Digby, of whom you have spoken?
30477Is she young or middle- aged?
30477Is she_ the_ lady?
30477Is that so?
30477Is there no way of closing that woman''s lips?
30477Is this man named Kemsley, or Cane, accused of the assassination of Marie Bracq?
30477Is this the truth, m''sieur?
30477Is this well in the middle of a field, then?
30477It is addressed''For E. P. K.''"For me?
30477It may have been a drama of jealousy-- who knows?
30477M''sieur wishes to make an inquiry, I hear?
30477May I mention your name?
30477May I ring for Mallock? 30477 Miss Shand knows nothing, you say?"
30477More than friendly, I wonder?
30477No, do n''t do that?
30477Not even Miss Shand would recognise me-- eh, Haines?
30477Now, why all this secrecy?
30477Of course, Haines, you know that-- well-- that the police are looking for him-- eh?
30477Of what?
30477On those occasions, have there been guests in the house?
30477Petre?
30477Phrida, you know that woman-- you ca n''t deny knowledge of her-- can you?
30477Phrida,I said in a low voice, full of sympathy,"you hear what this man has alleged?
30477Prisoner, what is the use of these denials and this defiance?
30477Quite new, and rather delicious, do n''t you think? 30477 Regretted?
30477She has confessed it to you-- has she not?
30477She has threatened-- eh?
30477She said that?
30477She was killed, you say?
30477Sit down-- well, do you know anything more of that mysterious friend of yours-- eh?
30477So I am to take it that both Digby and yourself are antagonistic towards Phrida Shand?
30477So you know she is guilty-- eh?
30477Suspicion of what?
30477Tell me-- what do you know? 30477 That Marie Bracq was killed by her hand-- eh?
30477That girl Shand has, perhaps, made a statement to you, and now you want to be inquisitive, eh? 30477 That the unknown was struck down by the hand of a woman-- eh?"
30477That''s not an English name, is it?
30477The laundry marks are foreign, eh?
30477The medical evidence was curious, Mr. Royle, was n''t it?
30477The truth concerning Phrida?
30477The truth of what?
30477The woman who lost that green horn comb at the flat?
30477The woman-- eh?
30477Then a grave suspicion rests upon him?
30477Then does not that, in itself, justify my decision to see and question her?
30477Then he is not the impostor the police believe?
30477Then it was the daughter of the Grand Duke who fell a victim in Cane''s flat?
30477Then it''s an entire mystery?
30477Then m''sieur refuses to satisfy me as to the exact identity of Marie Bracq?
30477Then she knows-- she knows your secret?
30477Then she threatened him?
30477Then what is your intention?
30477Then why ask me for an explanation?
30477Then you adhere to the theory which you formed at first?
30477Then you admit you are not Sir Digby Kemsley?
30477Then you anticipate that you may find my friend Digby through his bankers?
30477Then you assert that this flat is yours?
30477Then you ca n''t come to us?
30477Then you do not suspect Sir Digby, after all-- eh?
30477Then you have set yourself up to be my judge, have you?
30477Then you know the truth-- eh?
30477Then you know, of what occurred at Harrington Gardens?
30477Then you think he is in Brussels now?
30477Then your mistress declared that she did n''t like the man Royle, eh?
30477To him?
30477Until what?
30477Well, Mr. Royle,exclaimed the inspector when the door had closed;"how did you obtain those prints?"
30477Well, Phrida?
30477Well, Teddy,she asked, when I sat alone with her upon the pale green silk- covered couch, her little hand in mine,"Where have you been?
30477Well, doctor?
30477Well, is this unnamed woman a very vengeful person?
30477Well, was I not a friend of the man who is now a fugitive?
30477Well, what does Inspector Tirrell say?
30477Well, what is it? 30477 Well, what is it?"
30477Well,I asked after a pause, and then with some trepidation put the question,"what do you intend doing?"
30477Well,I asked casually, when we were alone,"have you traced the tailor who made the dead girl''s costume?"
30477Well,she asked,"are you ready?"
30477Well?
30477Well?
30477Well?
30477Well?
30477What about Ali?
30477What about her?
30477What are they?
30477What are you doing about those letters-- that letter which mentions the fountain?
30477What are you doing to- day?
30477What can I possibly have to conceal from you?
30477What can we do? 30477 What cause?"
30477What date is that?
30477What did he say?
30477What did he say?
30477What did he tell you?
30477What did you hear?
30477What do they call it?
30477What do you know?
30477What do you mean, Teddy? 30477 What do you mean?
30477What do you mean?
30477What do you mean?
30477What do you want here?
30477What does this mean?
30477What else can I say? 30477 What has happened?
30477What has that to do with you, pray?
30477What in heaven''s name do you mean?
30477What is amiss? 30477 What is it?
30477What is the use even now? 30477 What is your belief, Phrida?"
30477What kind of stories?
30477What letter?
30477What made you think that?
30477What more can we do?
30477What paper?
30477What trick is this?
30477What was the address?
30477What was the use of telling you?
30477What weather, eh?
30477What woman?
30477What''s that you''ve got hold of?
30477What''s that?
30477What? 30477 What?
30477What?
30477What?
30477What?
30477What?
30477What?
30477What?
30477What?
30477When did he call last?
30477When was he here? 30477 When will she be in?"
30477When?
30477Where am I? 30477 Where is Sir Digby?"
30477Where is my friend?
30477Where? 30477 Where?"
30477While your friend was in London?
30477Who are you? 30477 Who are you?"
30477Who has told you that? 30477 Who told you?"
30477Who was the girl they found dead?
30477Who was the girl-- tell me?
30477Who''s there?
30477Whom did you infer he meant by she?
30477Whom?
30477Why all this confounded mystery, Digby?
30477Why are the police in search of him?
30477Why compelled?
30477Why did she hate him so?
30477Why does n''t that woman Petre come forward and boldly make her statement personally?
30477Why have you called me over here? 30477 Why is it,"I asked him,"that your chief absolutely refuses to betray the identity of the girl Marie Bracq?"
30477Why not Colchester as well as Clapham-- eh?
30477Why not now?
30477Why not?
30477Why not?
30477Why should I?
30477Why should he?
30477Why speak so despondently?
30477Why will Mrs. Petre tell lies, Senos?
30477Why, Maisie, that''s where old Miss Morgan lived, and it''s been taken by some woman with an Indian servant, has n''t it?
30477Why, what''s happened?
30477Why? 30477 Why?"
30477Why?
30477Why?
30477Why?
30477Why?
30477Why?
30477Why?
30477Why?
30477Will you buy my lace-- seelk lace; ve- ry cheep?
30477Will you do us the favour and tell us all you know concerning the tragedy-- how the young lady lost her life?
30477Will you permit me to come inside a moment?
30477Without any inquiry?
30477Would he have acted as a gentleman had he done so? 30477 Would she utter a cry?"
30477Yes, but why?
30477Yes, why? 30477 Yes, why?"
30477You are English, of course?
30477You are quite sure that this man she called Digby left the neighbourhood last Sunday?
30477You are very busy-- too busy even to talk seriously with me-- eh?
30477You believe me now?
30477You did n''t hear any other names of persons mentioned?
30477You go to- morrow, eh?
30477You had no suspicion that he was an impostor?
30477You have not been to Miss Shand-- you have not yet questioned her?
30477You heard no other mention of the person named Royle?
30477You know there is a warrant out for their arrest?
30477You know-- eh? 30477 You mean the Indian?"
30477You no buy for laidee?
30477You no like see Senos-- eh? 30477 You said that a great sensation would be caused if the press knew the truth?"
30477You saw them-- and spoke to them?
30477You say that after your return from your visit from this man, Sir Digby Kemsley, he rang you up on the telephone?
30477You still wish to shield this blackguard who has held you in secret in his hands?
30477You suspect her, then?
30477You will tell me everything?
30477You will tell me, Senos?
30477You''ve been down there?
30477Young or old?
30477Your hand upon it?
30477Yours is, to say the least, a rather thin excuse, is it not?
30477A very brilliant and famous man, is n''t he?"
30477Afterwards I suddenly said:"You recollect those facts you told me regarding the alleged death of the real Kemsley in Peru, do n''t you?"
30477Again, was it possible that after their dastardly attempt upon my life, Mrs. Petre and her accomplices had fled to join the fugitive?
30477Again, who was the poor, unidentified victim-- the pale- faced, pretty young woman who had visited Digby clandestinely, and gone to her death?
30477Ah, I loved Phrida-- loved her better than my own life-- and yet----?
30477Ancient history, eh?"
30477And with what result?
30477And yet?
30477Answer me?"
30477Are you going abroad again?"
30477Are you quite yourself again now?"
30477At what could he be hinting?
30477Aye, what indeed?
30477Aye, what, indeed?
30477But duty is duty, is it not?"
30477But how could I effect this without arousing her suspicion?
30477But how could I trace him?
30477But how?
30477But in face of Phrida''s present peril could I possibly leave London?
30477But in what manner could the impostor have obtained power over Phrida?
30477But look in to- morrow, dear, wo n''t you?"
30477But remember, you will not be later than ten, will you?"
30477But was it with Digby''s knowledge?
30477But were Edwards''suspicions that the assassin Cane and the man I knew as Sir Digby Kemsley were one and the same, correct, or were they not?
30477But were his suspicions, too, directed towards Phrida?
30477But were you jealous of her?"
30477But would they turn out to be the same as the fingers which had rested upon the glass- topped specimen- table in Digby''s room?
30477By the way-- you''ll take something to drink, wo n''t you?"
30477By what means could she be aware of it?
30477Ca n''t it wait till to- morrow?"
30477Ca n''t you understand?"
30477Can not you discover whether any girl of that name is missing?"
30477Can we go?"
30477Can you fasten it round you, and then we''ll haul you up?
30477Can you meet me again as soon as possible?
30477Can you take me to them?"
30477Come,"she added,"tell me out plainly what she has alleged against me?"
30477Could Ali be a Peruvian Indian and not a Hindu?
30477Could n''t you have postponed your ghastly joke till the morning?"
30477Did I?"
30477Did not his words to me and his marvellous disguise prior to the tragedy imply an intention to disappear?
30477Did she know more of Sir Digby Kemsley than she had admitted?
30477Did there not exist vividly in my recollection that strange encounter in the darkness of the stairs?
30477Did you go more than once?"
30477Did you recognise it afterwards?"
30477Did you see him?"
30477Do I have your promise, M''sieur Royle?"
30477Do n''t you agree?"
30477Do you know that a young lady died in Cane''s apartment-- was killed there?"
30477Do you know the woman?"
30477Do you still fear the exposure of the truth?"
30477Does a man so lightly betray a woman''s honour?"
30477Does it concern our mutual friend, Digby?"
30477Had I been deliberately poisoned?
30477Had he ever been her accomplice in similar deeds to this?
30477Had he killed her because he feared what she might reveal?
30477Had he, I wondered, been in consultation with Edwards, and had the latter, in confidence, revealed to him his own theory?
30477Had it been used, and afterwards replaced?
30477Had my friend Digby, the fugitive, actually committed the crime?
30477Had she not practically avowed her guilt?
30477Had the stranger fallen a victim to the serpent, I wondered?
30477Had the victim, I wondered, swallowed that same tasteless drug that I had swallowed, and been paralysed, as I had been?
30477Had the woman Petre already made a statement incriminating my well- beloved?
30477Has he been here?"
30477Have I not told you that she is my most deadly enemy?"
30477Have you any doubt?"
30477Have you received from Scotland Yard the description of a man named Digby Kemsley-- Sir Digby Kemsley-- who is wanted for murder?"
30477Have you the photographs of those finger- prints found on the specimen- table in Sir Digby''s room?"
30477He know too much-- eh?
30477He spoke with a slight accent-- Scotch, is n''t it?"
30477He-- he was a friend of yours?"
30477His name, both in Seina and Valparaiso, is one to conjure with,"was my reply;"but----""But what?"
30477How can I act to save him?"
30477How can I possibly suspect anyone of a crime of which I know nothing, and of which even the papers appear to be in ignorance?"
30477How can I tell?
30477How can I?"
30477How can we close her mouth?"
30477How can you expect me to believe such a transparent tale?"
30477How could she have obtained knowledge of the affair if it were not premeditated and hinted at in the letter I had so faithfully delivered?
30477How could you possibly forgive?"
30477How did you find this out?"
30477How did you first become acquainted with him?"
30477How did you manage it?"
30477How did you obtain them?"
30477How long ago?"
30477How should I act?
30477How should I begin?
30477How should I tell her?
30477How was I to explain how I had obtained the prints?
30477How, then, could I ever hope to be successful?
30477I am glad, indeed, to meet you, but-- but tell me why he has disappeared-- what has occurred?"
30477I asked her what was the matter, but she only replied in a faint, unnatural voice--"Matter?
30477I asked, adding, in an apologetic tone,"I hope I''m not too inquisitive?"
30477I asked, in quick apprehension;"what is it?"
30477I ca n''t wear gloves, can I?"
30477I expect you''re in a pretty state, are n''t you?"
30477I had miraculously escaped death by the snake''s fangs, and was I now to die of starvation deep in that narrow well?
30477I know how generous you are, dear,"she interrupted,"but how can I conceal from myself the true position?
30477I listen to it all, for Senos friend of the hall- porter-- eh?
30477I loved Phrida, and yet had I not obtained proof positive of her clandestine visit to my friend on that fateful night?
30477I may be dead by then-- who knows?"
30477I meant to ask whether you have ever been to his flat in Harrington Gardens?"
30477I wonder if you have a lemon in the house?"
30477I wonder if you really speak the truth?"
30477I wonder who the poor girl was?"
30477I-- I only know that Digby was acquainted with her, and that----""Well?"
30477If so, what then?
30477If you wish to dispose of this information, why not sell it to me?"
30477Illustration:"''Well,''she asked,''are you ready?''"
30477In that case, could the crime have been premeditated by my friend?
30477In what circumstances?"
30477Indeed, how could she have entered the flat had he not admitted her?"
30477Is Digby the real Sir Digby?"
30477Is anything terrible going to happen on that date?"
30477Is he no longer there?"
30477Is he prevented from coming?
30477Is it possible that you have been sent by him?
30477Is she a friend of yours?--or-- or is she your enemy?
30477Is she not that man''s victim?"
30477Is she the person you suspect of having committed the crime?"
30477Is that the lady you are trying to find?"
30477Is there any question as to the guilt of the man Kemsley?"
30477Is your secret so terrible, then?"
30477May I ring for Mallock?"
30477Not by Digby Kemsley?
30477Now that the truth is being told, will you, too, not speak?
30477Oh, what can I do?
30477Or, was my carefully planned errand entirely in vain?
30477Our greeting was a cordial one, whereupon I asked him what was contained in the anonymous letter addressed to"The Yard"?
30477Page 218:?
30477Perhaps he had killed him-- who could tell?
30477Petre?"
30477Petre?"
30477Petre?"
30477Quickly I crossed to him, and asked:"Well, what do you want with me?"
30477Royle?"
30477Royle?"
30477Royle?"
30477Royle?"
30477Say no- ting to laidee till I see you-- outside your hotel eleven o''clock, sare-- eh?"
30477Send me down a rope, will you?
30477Senos come-- eh?
30477Shand''s?"
30477She deceived you finely-- eh?
30477She did not speak for a few seconds, then, springing to her feet, exclaimed:"Would you excuse me for a few seconds?
30477She knows you-- isn''t that so?"
30477She met him clandestinely, unknown, to you-- eh?"
30477She''s been trying to clear herself by telling you some fairy- tale or another, I suppose?"
30477Should I go to the police and tell them what had occurred?
30477Should I retain possession of the message?
30477So I may be forgiven, may I not-- eh?"
30477Suddenly the telephone- bell rang, and on answering it I heard Phrida''s voice asking--"I say, Teddy, is that you?
30477Surely it''s new, is n''t it?
30477Surely you can have nothing to conceal?"
30477Surely you know?"
30477Surely, this attitude of yours is an unusual one-- is it not?
30477Tell me why?
30477The jingle of the golden bangles, and the sweet odour of that delicious perfume?
30477The purchaser will give evidence-- and what then?"
30477Then I asked:"Is anything known concerning a woman friend of his named Petre?"
30477Then I said in a low, meaning tone:"You ca n''t answer it, Phrida, because you are ashamed, eh?"
30477Then she said:"I suppose there was no secrecy regarding your journey, was there?"
30477Then she said:"You admit that you are friendly with the girl Shand-- eh?"
30477Then you will not, Mr. Royle-- will you?"
30477Then, at last, I stood before him boldly and asked:"In face of all this, can you suspect Miss Shand?
30477Then, very cleverly he asked in his normal voice, looking at me with his narrow eyes, with dark brows meeting:"You no buy at that price-- eh?
30477Therefore I exclaimed suddenly:"Will you not tell me, Mrs. Petre, the identity of this great enemy of our friend-- this woman?
30477To what could it be due?
30477Was I acting honestly?
30477Was Phrida''s terrible secret known?
30477Was he the accomplice of the mysterious Englishman named Cane-- the man suspected of causing the death of Sir Digby Kemsley?
30477Was he the real Sir Digby?"
30477Was he well- dressed?"
30477Was it because I had not replied that she had penned that anonymous letter to the police?
30477Was it by her hand, as that woman had insinuated, the unknown girl''s life had been taken?
30477Was it not lying openly upon that table in the corner of the drawing- room at Cromwell Road?
30477Was it possible that the man whom I had known as Digby was actually Cane?
30477Was it possible that this woman was speaking of that girl whom I had seen lying dead in my friend''s flat?
30477Was it still there?
30477Was my heart at that moment wholly hers?
30477Was not guilt written upon that hard, white face?
30477Was not that in itself sufficient evidence of guilt?
30477Was not the girl named Marie Bracq?"
30477Was she a lady?"
30477Was she actually beneath some mysterious thraldom-- was she held in some secret bondage by the man I had trusted and who was my best friend?
30477Was she not all the world to me?
30477Was that Indian whom they called Ali really a Peruvian native-- the accomplice of Cane?
30477Was the lady Digby''s wife?
30477Was your friend a fraud, eh?"
30477We leave to- morrow-- eh?
30477Well?"
30477Were either of them exactly similar to any of those I carried with me?
30477Were her finger- prints not upon the little glass- topped specimen- table in his room?
30477Were these scandalous allegations of hers based upon truth, or was she actuated by ill- feeling, perhaps, indeed, of jealousy?
30477Were they imprints of the hand of my well- beloved?
30477Were they with him?
30477Were those words an admission of her guilt?
30477What could I do?
30477What could I do?
30477What could I do?
30477What could I say?
30477What could I think?
30477What could I think?
30477What could he know?
30477What could it mean?
30477What could she fear from our meeting if she were, as I still tried to believe, innocent?
30477What did he mean by saying that he wished to stand my friend and safeguard me from impending evil?
30477What did it all mean?
30477What did she fear?
30477What did she mean?
30477What do they call this place?"
30477What do you know of my friend Digby Kemsley?"
30477What do you mean-- you intend what?"
30477What do you want with me, my man?"
30477What had Edwards meant when he promised me an unpleasant surprise?
30477What has she said against me?"
30477What if the trio had been arrested in Vienna?
30477What is it?
30477What is, may I term it, your private opinion?"
30477What power does that man hold over you?"
30477What secret power did he exercise over her?
30477What then?
30477What theory could I form?
30477What time could you conveniently be at home?"
30477What was the real solution of that strange problem of crime in which, quite unwittingly, I had become so deeply implicated?
30477What would those finger- prints reveal?
30477What would you, my reader, have thought if the woman you love stood in the same position as Phrida Shand-- which God forbid?
30477What, I wondered, had been discovered?
30477What, I wondered, had happened?
30477What, indeed, was the secret?
30477Whence did they come?"
30477Where did you get them?"
30477Where was it, I wondered?
30477Where?
30477Who could he have been, and what was his fate?
30477Who could it be who was ready to reveal the truth if paid for doing so?
30477Who had written that anonymous letter?
30477Who is she-- what is she?"
30477Who knows?
30477Who knows?"
30477Who knows?"
30477Who suggested that?"
30477Who was she?
30477Who was she?
30477Who was the girl found there?
30477Who will succeed you?
30477Why did Phrida so carefully conceal from me the exact truth concerning her friendship with the man I had trusted?
30477Why did he not speak?"
30477Why did she not take courage and reveal to me the truth?
30477Why did she seek to secure this man''s freedom?
30477Why had Digby adopted such a marvellous disguise?
30477Why had she been lurking there?
30477Why had she gone to his flat at that hour, lurking upon the stairs until he should be alone, and, no doubt, in ignorance that I was his visitor?
30477Why had that man-- the man I now hated with so fierce an hatred-- held her in the hollow of his unscrupulous hands?
30477Why have n''t you been over since Thursday?"
30477Why have you remained silent?"
30477Why keep me in the dark?"
30477Why should I be jealous?
30477Why should I lie?
30477Why was Phrida in such fear lest I should meet the man who held her so mysteriously and completely in his power?
30477Why, what''s the matter?"
30477Why, you might have----""Might have what?"
30477Why?
30477Why?
30477Why?
30477Why?"
30477Why?"
30477Will that suit you?"
30477Will you call at the Préfecture of Police at eight o''clock to- night?
30477Will you do it?"
30477Will you help me?"
30477Will you please see after her?"
30477Will you promise me-- promise not to prejudge me?"
30477Will you take anything more, sir?"
30477Will you, dear?"
30477Will you-- for my sake and hers?"
30477Will you?"
30477Will you?"
30477Would I be successful?
30477Would I, by that romantic meeting, be placed in possession of some further fact which might throw light upon the mystery?
30477Would assistance come?
30477Would assistance never come?
30477Would it ever be revealed?
30477Would n''t you like to go to your room?"
30477Would not analysis reveal upon it a trace of human blood?
30477Would not its possession in itself convict her?
30477Would she ever come?
30477Would the ghastly truth ever be laid bare?
30477Would the mystery of that tragic January night in South Kensington never be elucidated?
30477Would the truth never be told?
30477Would you bring her?
30477Yet was he a fugitive?
30477Yet was it only pretence?
30477Yet what could I do but agree?
30477Yet whom could she be?
30477Yet why were her lips sealed?
30477You and Phrida Shand are enemies, are you not?"
30477You are never narrow- minded-- eh?"
30477You know that woman, eh?
30477You made a statement to the police, did you not?"
30477You no say you see me-- eh?
30477You understand, Egisto?"
30477You will not believe what Mrs. Petre has told you?"
30477You wished to see me?"
30477Your poor young laidee-- ah?
30477a sign that her secret was a guilty one?
30477but are we friends?"
30477cried one in a refined voice,"what are you doing down there?"
30477forgive me, Teddy, wo n''t you?"
30477never came?
30477what explanation can I make of allegations I have never heard?"
30477who had betrayed my love?
30477would I, I wondered?
30477you believe in his innocence, I see?"
3784''You mean, how long does a lesson last?'' 3784 A telephone call late at night?"
3784All right,answered Marsh,"then you''ll be willing to help me?"
3784And this gentleman with you?
3784And what do you suppose Hunt expected to gain by kidnapping all of us?
3784And who are your friends?
3784Any luck?
3784Any news?
3784Anything I can do?
3784Are you keeping anything of special value in the house?
3784Are you thinking of bringing your theories to their attention?
3784But how did the room get in this state?
3784But what became of the body?
3784But,protested Marsh,"I thought the house was closed, and had only a caretaker, or someone like that?"
3784Ca n''t you even wait for a bite of lunch?
3784Did Mr. Merton go there then, do you know?
3784Did n''t I tell you that we heard the struggle and the shot right over our heads?
3784Did n''t it make you think?
3784Did n''t you know there was some trouble across the hall last night?
3784Did you find finger prints?
3784Do I gather from your remarks, Mr. Marsh, that you mean to imply something?
3784Do you expect your father home soon, Miss Atwood?
3784Do you feel equal to looking over that room now?
3784Do you know Mr. Marsh downstairs?
3784Do you know the way, Nels?
3784Do you mean that?
3784Do you notice that this man was stabbed, not shot?
3784Do you remember Mr. Merton, who has been reported missing?
3784Do you think it was a burglar?
3784Does the owner run this building, or has he placed an agent in charge?
3784Everything all right, Tierney?
3784For God''s sake, what''s the matter?
3784Get who?
3784Go ahead; what''s your next move?
3784Got any theories?
3784Had Tierney been so clumsy and careless as to enter the flat with muddy shoes?
3784Had you ever seen him before?
3784Has the Chief assigned you to any other case for my day off?
3784Have n''t seen or heard anybody?
3784Have the police arrived at the same conclusions?
3784Have you a card?
3784Have you been in Lincoln Park before?
3784Have you discovered anything?
3784Have you ever noticed,countered Marsh,"that what the police know usually appears in the papers?"
3784Have you fixed everything up?
3784Have you lived here long?
3784Have you lost something?
3784He travels?
3784Hold on, Tierney-- this is Morgan-- Morgan-- do you understand? 3784 How about you?"
3784How about your house?
3784How did you come to associate the name of Atwood with that apartment?
3784How did you come to connect these two men, and how did you get that inside dope on the stealing?
3784How did you fix it?
3784How did you get him?
3784How did you get in? 3784 How did you get wise?"
3784How did you know he was dead?
3784How do we know there was a murder?
3784How do you feel now, Miss Atwood?
3784How do you know all this, Nels?
3784How in thunder could you see my partner''s footsteps, as you said you did, in your apartment?
3784How is she coming on?
3784How long has he been living there?
3784How long have you been here?
3784How much of a family has he?
3784How so?
3784How the deuce did you know I was here?
3784How the devil do we know there''s been a murder?
3784How would you analyze that flattened bullet?
3784How would you like to take a little trip with me out to one of the North Shore suburbs this afternoon?
3784I presume you are working along other lines also?
3784I suppose Mr. Ames and his wife are still away?
3784I suppose your father travels for some well known St. Louis house?
3784In case of his death, Mr. Hunt, who would be his executors?
3784Is either Mr. Parker or Mr. Cole in?
3784Is that all?
3784Is that you, Sergeant? 3784 Looking up Merton?"
3784May I ask the reason for this late call?
3784May I ask your name?
3784May I come in and talk with you a few minutes?
3784May I look at it?
3784Mr. Hunt in?
3784Mr. Marsh and Mr. Ames are friends, are they not?
3784Mr. Merton''s kindness to you made an impression upon you, did it not?
3784Nels,said Marsh, stopping and facing the Swede,"you do n''t think I ought to buy that house next door, eh?"
3784Now, what can you tell me about the Marsh family, second floor north?
3784Oh, did you notice that mark?
3784On what?
3784So you think it is a bite of some kind?
3784That you, Wagner?
3784That''s all you know, is it, Nels?
3784That''s what I''m here for,and as they mounted the steps of the apartment house, he inquired,"What flat was it?"
3784Then we will start a real home together?
3784Then what?
3784Then you would naturally recollect anything of an unusual nature which might have taken place during the last few days, would you not?
3784This is your report, is n''t it, Tierney?
3784Turned the tables on you, did n''t we?
3784Was it an empty suitcase?
3784Was it that, or just a warning?
3784Was she about medium height, slender, with blonde hair and dark blue eyes?
3784Well, what ARE you tryin''to pull off?
3784Well?
3784Well?
3784Well?
3784Well?
3784Well?
3784Were you able to get it?
3784What affair is that?
3784What are you doing here?
3784What are your terms?
3784What can I do for you?
3784What can I do?
3784What do you make of it?
3784What do you mean?
3784What do you mean?
3784What do you mean?
3784What do you plan to do, then?
3784What else could it be?
3784What is it you want?
3784What is it?
3784What is the proverb?
3784What is the trouble?
3784What made you suspect it in the first place?
3784What made you think that?
3784What night was that?
3784What papers do you mean?
3784What time is it, anyway?
3784What was it?
3784What was that?
3784What would give you that impression?
3784What''s doing?
3784What''s the game?
3784What''s the use?
3784When do you expect them back?
3784Where are you going to stay tonight?
3784Where did he go?
3784Where do you get that stuff?
3784Where in blazes did your man go?
3784Where''s that guy gone to, anyway?
3784Where''s the trouble?
3784Which of us, shall tell it first?
3784Which one?
3784Who are you?
3784Who is it?
3784Who''s Ames?
3784Why did his wife go to Arizona?
3784Why did you follow Miss Atwood?
3784Why did you let that guy think he had a chance to get away, when you had the goods on him? 3784 Why did you make those breaks about your wife, and knowing Ames upstairs?"
3784Why should you take up the trail of a counterfeiter?
3784Why you?
3784Why, what has happened?
3784Will you gentlemen take chairs?
3784You are sure you did n''t have anything of value concealed in the maid''s room?
3784You are the night operator here, are you not?
3784You do n''t approve of hootch?
3784You found fingerprints?
3784You have n''t heard that Mr. Crocker sub- leased his flat?
3784You like to see dis?
3784You make a distinction, do you?
3784You mean by that that the police have not formed the same connection which you have?
3784You mean last Monday?
3784You mean the house is watched?
3784You mean the place was empty?
3784You want my husband? 3784 You''re more than commonly interested in this affair, ai n''t you?"
3784You''ve heard of me before, have you?
3784Ai n''t been just hearing things, have you, Murphy?
3784All right, what''s your price?"
3784And yet would it?
3784Are n''t you going to sleep at home?"
3784Are we spying on somebody, or is somebody spying on us?
3784Are you sure it was in this house?"
3784As they sat sipping their coffee, Marsh said,"I imagine you have seen very little of Chicago, Miss Atwood?"
3784By the way, why are you particularly interested in these families?"
3784CHAPTER XIII STARTLING DISCLOSURES"Why is it that business men, who pride themselves on their astuteness, almost invariably slip up somewhere?"
3784Can we get into the flat?"
3784Crocker?"
3784Did he drop anything about them that you did n''t think worth while putting in the report?"
3784Do you know his name?"
3784Do you know who she is?"
3784Do you want to get bumped off right now?"
3784Had the use of a hypodermic needle on this girl anything to do with the supposed tragedy across the hall?
3784Has anyone looked to see if Mr. Merton could by any chance have gone there because of illness, or for some other reason?"
3784He picked it up and read: GORDON MARSH Private Investigator Then looking at Marsh as he laid the card down, he said,"what can I do for you?"
3784Hotel rooms never do seem homelike, do they?"
3784How about you, Marsh?"
3784How could anybody sneak up behind you without your hearing them?"
3784How did it happen?"
3784How is Oak Street?"
3784How long do they teach them?''"
3784Hunt nodded in an absent- minded way and again asked,"Perhaps this man Morgan found something?"
3784Hunt remained silent for a moment, then said,"Do I understand that you are making me a proposition?"
3784Hunt?"
3784Hunt?"
3784I can not possibly understand why this should be so, but you will admit that it is a fact, wo n''t you?"
3784I presume he has given you power of attorney?"
3784If Atwood was in Chicago Tuesday morning, how did he get that letter off, so quickly?"
3784If she knew her father was a crook, and that he died to escape you, where do you think you''d get off?
3784If the shot was a mistake, could not other mistakes have also crept in?
3784If there was a murder, what became of the body?"
3784Instead she startled the two men by asking,"Did you get him?"
3784Is it not a safe bet that the person who gives me the correct information to put me on the right track, will be pretty well taken care of?"
3784Is that all?"
3784Is there anything missing as far as you know?"
3784Marsh jumped up, and holding out his hand, exclaimed boisterously,"Where have you been hiding yourself?
3784Marsh nodded, and inquired,"I suppose you follow the papers carefully every day?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Merton?"
3784Mr. Merton has been living at the LaSalle Hotel, I understand?"
3784Now you or I have n''t seen all of the inside of Marsh''s apartment, have we?
3784Removing his hat, he asked politely,"Are you the tenant here?"
3784Send the wagon, will you?
3784So why was it there?"
3784Stepping suddenly into the room, Murphy inquired, with a note of sarcasm in his voice,"Kind of busy, ai n''t you?"
3784Suppose I come to your apartment tonight?"
3784That is a little over three months, is n''t it?"
3784The door was open and the chauffeur turned to them and said,"Say friends, will you help me get this guy out of the car?
3784The two men''s faces lighted up at sight of him, and Tierney shouted,"What did I tell you, Morgan?
3784Then Morgan asked,"What do you mean?"
3784Then he inquired,"Perhaps your father heard the disturbance?"
3784Then, as Morgan agreed to the idea, Tierney turned toward him and exclaimed,"Say, you gone crazy?"
3784Then, noticing the case on the floor beside the man, he added,"Finished your work upstairs?"
3784Therefore, he said,"Is your mother at home, Miss Atwood?"
3784To head them off quickly, is it not possible that someone left immediately for St. Louis to post that letter?"
3784Was it a burglary, a domestic row, or perhaps a murder?
3784Was it not probable that a girl like her would feel even greater grief at the knowledge that her father was a hunted criminal instead of merely dead?
3784What floor do you want?''
3784What for?"
3784What is it?"
3784What was it?"
3784What were YOU doing here?"
3784What were you doing here?"
3784What would you do?
3784When he reached the door of the room, he called,"Everything ready, George?"
3784Where''s the gang?"
3784While it was quite obvious that such was the case, Morgan opened the conversation by inquiring,"Are you the janitor of this flat house?"
3784Who lives here, anyway?"
3784Why do you suppose that fellow Hunt threw us off like that?"
3784Why?"
3784Will you come up with me while I ring the bell?"
3784Will you give me a line stating that I am authorized to represent you in this matter?"
3784Will you tell me what you think is the matter with it?"
3784You get the idea?"
3784You''d try to get that evidence, would n''t you?"
3784cried Marsh,"what has happened?"
3784exclaimed Marsh, still sitting quietly in his chair,"Where are you going?"
36481Ai n''t there no sort o''clue?
36481Allow me to present you with it?
36481Am I in a dream, good fellow, tell me that?
36481Am I the first that have stolen on midnight slumber? 36481 And I have been shut up here for safety?"
36481And do respectable parties ever buy dogs knowin''they''re stolen?
36481And he also fancies he''s committed a lot o''murders?
36481And he kept his vow?
36481And now, signor,said the old man, removing to a little distance from the group,"may I crave a word with you-- your name?"
36481And so, after exciting my curiosity in this manner, you will not satisfy it?
36481And the child?
36481And the girl-- Miss Ebber, wot of her?
36481And there ai n''t no chance o''deliverance?
36481And we hope nothing has occurred to alter your opinion, sir?
36481And who did he say that to?
36481And who taught me the lesson?
36481And yet, why am I here?
36481And you have dared to penetrate here, Gerard?
36481And you want a place?
36481And you''re always sure o''gettin''a dog, if you vants it, I s''pose?
36481And your name, I fancy, is Ginger?
36481Answer me one question-- Is there such a person as Ebba Thorneycroft?
36481Any address?
36481Anything more?
36481Apprehensions of what?
36481Are you armed?
36481Are you human?
36481Are you indeed living?
36481Are you not content?
36481Are you prepared to fulfil the compact?
36481Are you prepared to quit this gay scene with me, Edith?
36481Are you quite sure of it?
36481At what price?
36481Ay,_ on_ the bridge-- where else should it be? 36481 Beg pardin, sir,"said the fellow, touching his hat,"but ai n''t your name Mr. Auriol Darcy?"
36481Beg pardon, sir,said Ginger,"but had n''t I better carry the dog home for the young lady?
36481But now, sir, that ve fairly understands each other, are you agreeable to our terms? 36481 But suppose I buy her for the young lady?"
36481But tell me where the poor fellow is?
36481But the name of the noble, father?
36481But their names?
36481But there''s dog- fanciers in France, ai n''t there?
36481But upon what terms?
36481But we can be married before you go?
36481But what has befallen her?
36481But what has he to do with me?
36481But what of it?
36481But what of my daughter?
36481But why did we come hither?
36481But why do you particularise him?
36481But wot is to become of the others?
36481By this,she cried,"I surrender myself, soul and body, to you?"
36481By whom was the attempt made?
36481By your governor-- that is, by this person?
36481Can death assail me when I am just about to enter upon perpetual life? 36481 Convinced of what?"
36481Did you betray them?
36481Did you expect to find any one here?
36481Did you hear that sound?
36481Do n''t ye see, Tinker?
36481Do n''t you know?
36481Do n''t you reckilect the dwarf as used to serve Doctor Lamb?
36481Do you allude to Mr. Auriol Darcy?
36481Do you apply on your own account, or on behalf of a friend?
36481Do you happen to rekilect his name?
36481Do you hesitate?
36481Do you know, papa, Auriol intends to give a grand ball on our wedding- day, and has invited all his acquaintance to it?
36481Do you live here?
36481Do you not know me? 36481 Do you not recollect me?"
36481Do you recollect this?
36481Do you think he''s one of our perfession?
36481Do you vant to have us scragged, fool?
36481Do you want it for yourself, sir, or for her?
36481Do you want to be captured, and shut up in a cell for the rest of your life?
36481Granting even your silly notion of me to be correct, why need you be alarmed? 36481 Ha!--who speaks?"
36481Halloa, Sandy, did you shut the door arter you?
36481Has he been here?
36481Have I endured a long and troubled dream, during which I have fancied myself living through more than two centuries? 36481 Have you ever, in the coorse o''your long life, met the young man as drank the''lixir?"
36481Have you found my daughter? 36481 Have you seen him since last night?
36481He claims a reward too, I suppose?
36481Her lover awaited her there?
36481How am I to account for my sudden accession of wealth?
36481How came you in the desperate condition in which I found you?
36481How do you come to know it, I say?
36481How else, if I were not mad, could I have believed that I had swallowed the fabled elixir vità ¦? 36481 How is the poor young gentleman?"
36481How shall I thank you for this treasure, Auriol?
36481How were they called?
36481I believe that black gentleman to be----"What!--who?
36481I hope that pretty creater I jist see ai n''t to be the next wictim?
36481I hope you do n''t mean to buy the dog?
36481I hope you have not invited Cyprian Rougemont?
36481I vonder vether it''s really Tokay?
36481I, thy descendant, Cyprian de Rougemont, call upon thee to point out where thy gold is hidden? 36481 If you know him, can you give us a clue to find him?"
36481If you must really go,said Ebba, looking up, after a long pause,"I hope we shall see you again?"
36481Is he come for vengeance?
36481Is it Auriol Darcy who speaks?
36481Is it so?
36481Is it you, Gerard Paston?
36481Is it you?
36481Is it, then, too late?
36481Is that a crime?
36481Is this yours, sir?
36481Is your master a- bed?
36481It reminds you of the elixir you once quaffed-- eh?
36481Never tasted sich a glass o''wine in all my born days,he continued, replenishing the goblet:"I wonder wot it''s called?"
36481Not a tall man, wrapped in a long black cloak?
36481Now, doorin''all that time, have you never felt inclined to kick the bucket?
36481Now, what do you want with me?
36481Of what use is memory,continued Auriol musingly,"if things that are not, seem as if they were?
36481Oh, they''re antiquaries, are they?
36481Perhaps you recollect when wigs were first worn, my little Nestor?
36481Plenty o''time for that,said Ginger, sauntering towards the table on which the provisions were spread;"wot do you say to a mouthful o''wittles?"
36481Prove what?--and against whom?
36481Shall ve let him into it?
36481Shall we strip him here?
36481Should you know this young man agin, in case you chanced to come across him?
36481Should you rekilect it, if you heerd it?
36481So you have been playing the leech, Flapdragon, eh?
36481Sometimes a party''ll vant a couple o''dogs for the shootin''season; and then ve asks,''Vich vay are you a- goin''--into Surrey or Kent?'' 36481 Surely I have heard that name before?"
36481Tell me what you mean-- in pity, tell me?
36481Tell me who and what I am,cried Auriol, stupefied with astonishment;"in what age I am living; and whether I am in my right mind or not?"
36481Tell me who you are?
36481That must have been in the last century-- in Queen Anne''s time-- eh?
36481The cove''s sure to come?
36481The marchesa was beautiful, no doubt?
36481Then you know the person I allude to?
36481Then you_ are_ the Fiend?
36481There is one peril to be avoided,he thought;"ONE PERIL!--what is it?
36481Think you I have done this for you?
36481Three centuries, my little patriarch?
36481Under the noses of the police?
36481Ve ai n''t a- goin''below, eh?
36481Vell, I never see the likes on''em afore; did you, Sam?
36481Ven wos you born?
36481Vhere-- vhere?
36481Vot d''ye think he sees?
36481Vot the deuce are you doing here, and in this dress, or rayther undress?
36481Vy, Old Parr, that ai n''t you?
36481Vy, vot can you know about it, Ginger?
36481Well, my little friend,observed Trigge,"and what may be your object in coming to me?
36481Were they deeds of blood?
36481What ails her?
36481What ails you?
36481What are we likely to hear?
36481What are you talking about, brother?
36481What are your qualifications?
36481What became of him?
36481What can this mean?
36481What crime have you committed?
36481What do you ask for the dog?
36481What do you call a bargain, my good man?
36481What do you require?
36481What do you require?
36481What do you want, my little friend, eh?
36481What does it matter?
36481What has happened to her?
36481What has happened?
36481What have you discovered-- what have you found out?
36481What have you done to me?
36481What idle tale are you inventing?
36481What if it be poison you have now confected? 36481 What is behind that curtain?"
36481What is it?
36481What is the matter with you, that you tremble so, dear Auriol?
36481What is the matter?
36481What is this?
36481What is this?
36481What is to be done?
36481What is to be done?
36481What is your name, friend?
36481What likenesses?
36481What mean you, wretch?
36481What means this sudden change?
36481What mysterious person?
36481What of him?
36481What the devil are you about?
36481What the devil can have become of him?
36481What think you of this house?
36481What will become of us?
36481What witness?
36481What''s locked?
36481What''s that you say?
36481What''s the matter? 36481 What, without a struggle?"
36481What, your keeper?
36481What-- what have you heard, sir?
36481When did you regain the secret?
36481When was it done?
36481Where are you taking me?
36481Where are you, fiend?
36481Where does my grandsire dwell?
36481Where is he? 36481 Where is he?--what has become of him?"
36481Where is she? 36481 Who and what are ye?"
36481Who and what are you?
36481Who and what is he, then?
36481Who are you that put the question?
36481Who are you who give me this promise?
36481Who is it?
36481Who is that old man?
36481Who is this strange person?
36481Who is this?
36481Who speaks?
36481Who was he who struck him?
36481Who''s that you''ve got with you?
36481Whom do I resemble? 36481 Why do you ask?"
36481Why do you not speak to me?
36481Why have you brought me here?
36481Why should you doubt it?
36481Why so soon?
36481Why, how the devil did you come here, brother Thorneycroft?
36481Why, what_ has_ happened to her?
36481Will it disturb Doctor Lamb if his grandson goes up to him?
36481Will you convey him to the nearest tavern?
36481Will you depart in peace, and swear never to come here more? 36481 Will you give me back the money you have won from me?"
36481Will you pay my inexorable creditors? 36481 Will you save him before he is cast, living, into the tomb?"
36481Wos it Auriol Darcy?
36481Wot are you arter there, you young rascals?
36481Wot d''ye think o''this?
36481Wot kind o''secrets are they?
36481Wot''s the gemman''s name?
36481Wot''s the matter?
36481Wot''s the row, eh?
36481Would you destroy yourself, madman?
36481Would you like to hear wot''s written upon it? 36481 Wouldst thou have had me slay him in this holy place?"
36481You ai n''t a- been a- gammonin''me in this matter, Tinker?
36481You are aware that this is the work of Grinling Gibbons, sir?
36481You are coming, Auriol?
36481You are not going to leave us?
36481You are quite sure you do n''t mean to abandon us?
36481You are sure Mr. Rougemont is gone?
36481You do n''t mean to say that such a horrid circumstance as that really took place?
36481You have been thrown into the water, Master Flapdragon?
36481You have heard, dear Edith, that your father has consented to our union?
36481You have n''t sold yourself, like Doctor Forster-- eh?
36481You here?
36481You must ha''seen some changes in your time?
36481You saw''em, of course?
36481You want an assistant, do n''t you, sir?
36481_ On_ the bridge-- did you say_ on_ the bridge, friend?
36481After a pause, he struck the portrait with his clenched hand, exclaiming in a loud voice:"Dost hear me, I say, old ancestor?
36481After regarding the portrait for some time fixedly, he thus addressed it:"Dost hear me, old ancestor?"
36481Am I deceived, or is this real?"
36481And yet, is it a fable?
36481And, as the coach drove away, he added to the Tinker,"Now, rascal, what have you to say?"
36481Are you aware of the talent the art requires?
36481Are you aware what it has cost me to earn the enviable title of the Barber of London?
36481Auriol, who had fallen into a fit of abstraction, here remarked:"What''s that you are saying, fellow?"
36481But answer me one question: Has the mysterious person in the black cloak troubled you again?"
36481But how d''ye account for livin''so long?"
36481But how to dispose of it was the difficulty?
36481But how, in the name of wonder, do you come to know it?"
36481But what care I for that?
36481But what new difficulty has arisen?"
36481But what of that?
36481But why do I rave?
36481But with whom has she run away?"
36481CHAPTER VIII THE BARBER OF LONDON Who has not heard of the Barber of London?
36481Can I be the same myself?
36481Can it be he that has gone off with her?"
36481Can you tell me if Mr. Auriol Darcy is here?"
36481Can you tell us anythin''more about him?"
36481Could guilt sleep so soundly?
36481Darcy?"
36481Did you ever hear tell of such a person, I say?"
36481Dost hear, I say?"
36481Gaze upon this?
36481Ha!--who told me of Charles the Second?
36481Had you no relation of the name of----?"
36481Have n''t you, Ebba?"
36481He fancies hisself immortal-- eh?"
36481Here, lazy- bones, bring two glasses o''rum- and- water-- stiff, d''ye hear?"
36481His impatience was shared by the Tinker, who, stepping up to Ginger, said--"Wot the devil can Mr. Reeks be about?
36481How know I there was such a king?
36481I asked, after a pause;"what of their wretched offspring?"
36481I exclaimed,"was that child a boy?"
36481I heerd him say, as plainly as I''m a speakin''to you--''I''ll be here to- morrow night-- at the same hour----''""And that wos one o''clock?"
36481I vonder vat they thinks they sees?"
36481I wonder where that trap leads to?"
36481I wonder where this passage leads to?"
36481Is this the dress I once wore?
36481Mr. Darcy, is it you?
36481On the entrance of the Sandman and the Tinker, he nodded familiarly to them, and with a sly look inquired--"Vell, my''arties-- wot luck?"
36481Perchance they were known to your worship?"
36481Perpetual life!--perpetual youth!--what more need be desired?"
36481Reeks?"
36481Scarcely an old edifice, to which an historical tradition could be attached( and what old London edifice is destitute of such traditions?
36481So you sent this mysterious gentleman to her, eh?"
36481Statements affectin''_ our_ characters,--do you tvig that, sir?"
36481The servant then left them; and as soon as he was gone Auriol exclaimed,"Is it to mock me that you have brought me hither?"
36481Then we''re in your master''s power?"
36481Think you I would resign her I love better than life to you?"
36481Thorneycroft?"
36481Thorneycroft?"
36481Vere''s my two pals, I vonder?
36481Was he really blind?
36481What is he like who has made this strange attempt?"
36481What is it!--where can it lie?"
36481What more could you require?"
36481What new danger is at hand?"
36481What took you off so suddenly?
36481What''s that?"
36481When and how did it acquire its dye?"
36481Whence arose your recent terrors?"
36481Where is she?
36481Where is the carriage?--what has become of Edith?"
36481Where is the person who brought me hither?"
36481Where is thy treasure?"
36481Who is it?"
36481Why did he assume a penitential attitude, if he felt no penitence?
36481Why did he come thither, if he did not venture to pray?
36481Why do I find you here alone?
36481Why do n''t you look where ye''re goin'', and not dhrive into people in that way?"
36481Will you save me from a prison?"
36481With the means of renewal in your hands, why hesitate?"
36481Wot age should you take him to be?"
36481Wot are you afeerd on?"
36481Yet wherefore did he not venture to unclose his eyes within the temple of the Most High?
36481You have not made a compact with this fiend?"
36481You seem paler-- eh?
36481You would not have your grandsire live under the river?"
36481and what is the motive of your inexplicable conduct?"
36481as the great conveyancer, Mr. Plodwell, observes to his clients-- what may be your object?"
36481cried Ginger;"do n''t you see some von has been a- takin''his supper here?
36481cried Thorneycroft;"where is she?
36481cried the young man--"why do you beckon me forward?
36481cries the gent angrily--''and what has it given me?
36481demanded Trigge--"what are your qualifications?"
36481do you not hear me?"
36481echoed the old man, staring at me;"will_ you_ assist me, signor?"
36481he cried, fixing his blazing eyes on the gatekeeper,"why do you torture me thus?
36481how dare you do this?
36481how''s this?
36481how?"
36481is it you, Fiend?"
36481old Rowley?"
36481that''s how it''s done?"
36481what do you think, Ebba?"
36481what''s such warmint to me?"
36481what''s that?
36481who calls me?"
36481who is this?"
36481who''s this?"
36481wot are you arter, sir?"
36481wot''s that?"
33279''Ungry-- I means hungry, sir? 33279 ''Where that there wee beetie o''crrime has taken place?''
33279Ah-- who? 33279 An''what''appened?"
33279And I take it he was well known locally before that?
33279And Miss Duggan?
33279And are there any others?
33279And did your father manage to destroy the will then before it-- happened?
33279And has the curse come true?
33279And have you followed up any of the clues which you discovered yesterday, Mr. Deland, to the utter desolation of all my hopes and fears?
33279And he is sixteen, you say?
33279And how does your brother Ross take it?
33279And how then did your father die? 33279 And is the estate not entailed?"
33279And is the room still wired?
33279And may I ask why?
33279And my brother?--my poor unfortunate brother?
33279And that accounts for every one, then? 33279 And the pistol?"
33279And then?
33279And these boots?
33279And this is the woman in question?
33279And those stairs lead up there? 33279 And what did you do then?"
33279And what did you find there, Dollops?
33279And what did you say, Dollops?
33279And what were the''jolly interestin''questions,''may I ask?
33279And what, my dear young lady, makes you think that-- er-- Lady Paula would wish to murder your father?
33279And who, may I ask, said you did, my fiery young friend?
33279And whose name, may I ask?
33279And why in heaven''s name are they all so anxious to pervert Justice and to deny truth?
33279And why the envy, may I ask?
33279And yet your father never complained?
33279And you believe in the adage that''empty vessels make the most sound,''I take it?
33279And you know to whom it belongs?
33279And you saw him last night? 33279 And you say that you heard the sound of the spinning wheel''humming''in the darkness?
33279And you think Mr. Duggan actually did kill his father, then? 33279 And you wo n''t tell me who you are?
33279And you''ve telephoned the police?
33279And you? 33279 Any ideas, eh?"
33279Any one else?
33279As well as ghosts? 33279 Because, do n''t you see?
33279Brought your bootmaker''s department with you, eh? 33279 But I have n''t said anything to-- to incriminate Ross, have I, sir?"
33279But Ross-- you think he is guilty?
33279But how-- did you ever-- come to hear about it?
33279But the murderer-- who?--who?
33279But what had she got that black thing over her head for?--sort of veil, was n''t it? 33279 But you do n''t mind if I do?"
33279By the way, what size shoes do you take? 33279 Can any one claim this, please?"
33279Can you identify that?
33279Can you remember what any of those remarks were?
33279Can you tell me,he said--"awfully sorry to stop you and all that-- but can you possibly tell me if this is Aygon Castle?
33279Clapper swaddled up? 33279 Damon and Pythias, eh?
33279Did n''t give away any reason for asking, I hope, Miss Duggan?
33279Did you see that, Mr. Narkom? 33279 Do n''t you know, Ross, have n''t you guessed my secret yet?
33279Eh? 33279 Eh?--what''s the matter, old friend?"
33279Friend of Miss Lorne''s?
33279Gad, but there''s not much moon about now, is there? 33279 Good- bye, Cyril-- shake hands, wo n''t you?
33279Guv''nor,he said, in a scared, hushed sort of voice,"you ai n''t a- wishin''ter go back-- to all them Maurevanian royalties, are yer?
33279Has he any debts, Miss Duggan?
33279He was just about to alter the will, was he? 33279 He was there, then, was he?"
33279Heard nothing at all after we left, Burns? 33279 Hello, what''s this?
33279Here; use my knife and dig it out, wo n''t you?
33279How did you know there was one?
33279How did you see her, then?
33279How do you know?
33279How does any one know that any one loves any one else-- when oneself loves?
33279How_ could_ they be bloodstains, Mr. Deland? 33279 I am deeply grateful, sir, and during my short stay in these parts I shall hope to make fuller acquaintance of you and your family-- your wife?
33279I-- I---- What''s that you say?
33279In danger?
33279In jest ye tak eet?
33279Indeed? 33279 Indeed?
33279Is n''t it?--isn''t it? 33279 Is n''t that going a little too far-- to accuse a woman of poisoning upon such slight evidence?
33279It is beautiful, is n''t it?
33279Lady Paula? 33279 Like her, do ye say, sair?
33279Look here,he said, in the sharp staccato of excitement,"what I want to know is, who of this company possesses an air- gun?
33279Luvly plyce, ai n''t it? 33279 Macdonald, eh?
33279Matter?
33279Maud''s school- friend?
33279Mean wi''ye call it? 33279 Mean, is he?"
33279Miss Duggan, I believe?
33279Miss McCall?
33279Mr. Narkom? 33279 My dear chap!--what the dickens does he mean, Cleek?"
33279My dear lady, have you any foundation for believing this?
33279My lady indulges in a delicate drug now and again, does she?
33279News from the Front, eh? 33279 Now, then-- are you ready?
33279Now, why the dickens did she lie to me-- unless she wanted to shield her precious brother?
33279Oh!---is that so? 33279 Oh, he did, did he?
33279Oh, she did, did she? 33279 Oh, well, where''s her card?
33279Oh, will you?--will you? 33279 Or was n''t there anything at all?
33279Or would you like me to go first?
33279Perhaps you did n''t notice Ross Duggan''s coat this morning, Mr. Narkom? 33279 Proves what, my dear chap?"
33279Recognize the cut of_ that_ lady-- eh? 33279 See anything of your Dago friend?"
33279See that fine, clean- cut edge? 33279 See that mark there in the woodwork, above the spot where we dug the bullet out this morning?
33279So the worthy Captain is a debtor, is he? 33279 Spindle?
33279Sure it is n''t a woman, old chap? 33279 Tell me,"he said rapidly,"did you see anything of the will-- after the tragedy took place?"
33279Tens-- eh? 33279 That all?"
33279That''s something to be proud of-- eh, old chap? 33279 The motor- car?
33279Then Cynthia-- what are you driving at now?
33279Then Tweed Coat is Ross Duggan, Cleek?
33279Then she_ did_ have something to do with it, after all, did she? 33279 Then ye believe in eet?"
33279Then you have a ghost and all complete?
33279Then you have nothing more to tell me, Mr. Deland? 33279 Then you were using the electric switch last night instead of the customary lamp, I take it?"
33279Then-- it was Ross? 33279 Then-- who are you?"
33279They are rather huge, are n''t they?
33279They''ve been telling me,he reiterated,"that you think my stepbrother Ross killed Father last night, and----""Who''s''they,''may I ask?"
33279This-- spinning- wheel thing? 33279 Well, and why not?
33279Well, what did you discover?
33279What can you be doing here, Mr. Deland? 33279 What does it matter, so long as it was used by one of you?"
33279What is it you want to say to me?
33279What the deuce-- what the dickens do you mean by sendin''a beastly policeman for me? 33279 What the devil are you driving at?"
33279What the dickens are you mumbling over?
33279What the-- what are you driving at, my dear chap?
33279What''s that you''re mumbling about, Cleek?
33279What''s the harm? 33279 Where is your training in Apache quarters gone to, I''d like to know?
33279Where-- did you find them?
33279Which is your own window?
33279Who else?
33279Who is the gentleman of the axe, Miss Duggan?
33279Who is the happy man?
33279Who is the woman of whom you speak, Miss Duggan, and why should she have designs on your father''s life? 33279 Who knows?
33279Who knows?
33279Who the dickens is Tweed Coat?
33279Who the dickens told you that fairy- tale, sir?
33279Who the-- why the-- what the----?
33279Who, may I ask?
33279Why?
33279With_ Ross_?
33279Yes, sir?
33279Yessir?
33279You are in trouble, of course? 33279 You have finished, Mr. Deland-- Mr. Narkom?
33279You mean to say that-- you mean to say that you can prove that neither Ross nor-- Captain Macdonald is guilty of that terrible crime?
33279You see, I know more than I tell, eh? 33279 You see, Mr. Deland, you see?"
33279You see, Mr. Narkom, what it is? 33279 You still want to go?"
33279You''ll come?
33279You''re''urt proper, ai n''t you? 33279 You?
33279Your father''s child?
33279Your stepmother, Miss Duggan? 33279 Your_ brother_, Miss Duggan?
33279_ What?_"Gently, gently, my friend. 33279 _ Yours?_... Oho!
33279''''Ello, Minnie- gairl,''they s''ys to''er wen we come in,''who''s the noo mon ye ken?''
33279''Come from Lunnon, does yer?''
33279''Oo''d''ave thought it?
33279''Oo''s this a- comin''now?
33279''The female of the species''--you know what Kipling said, of course?
33279''Ugs the gentlemen at night, do n''t she?"
33279''Urtin''pretty nasty, ai n''t it?
33279''_ Listen_,''you said, did n''t you, Guv''nor?
33279*****"You want to hear the whole story from start to finish?
33279A clue?
33279A grudge is a grudge, even if it lasts through several centuries-- and who knows but that this belief lent colour to his hatred of your father?
33279A library, I take it?
33279A sort of heirloom, I suppose?"
33279After that, the thing was as easy as A B C."I beg your pardon, Miss Duggan?
33279Ai n''t scared, are yer?"
33279Also.... You saw Dollops, of course?"
33279Am I permitted to know yours?"
33279Amachoor detective?"
33279And Father-- did you notice how worn and ill he looks?
33279And I do n''t think that''s really necessary, in your case, do you, Mr. Narkom?
33279And I''m afraid that is exactly what will happen in this case.... Oh, well, lying down, is she?
33279And brought four men with you, too?
33279And do n''t tell any strangers who you are, will you?"
33279And for what purpose?"
33279And for what reason, I wonder?"
33279And he lets me help sometimes-- don''t you, Ross?"
33279And how long ago was it that he bought that pistol, may I ask?
33279And how?
33279And if so, how shall I do that?"
33279And if you and Mr. Ross Duggan happen to be friends----""We are friends-- the best of''em, eh, old chap?"
33279And in that moment, to be prepared for-- what?
33279And in the meantime, Mr. Deland, you won''t-- you wo n''t think too hard of my Angus will you?
33279And it was there, was it, Dollops?"
33279And it was you, was it?"
33279And it will be dark work climbing----""But you intend to do this mad thing, Cleek?"
33279And mine-- what?"
33279And no one''s been to the place at all, you say?
33279And not young Cyril''s, then?"
33279And notice anything else about her?"
33279And now, about that other affair.... You did what I told you?
33279And now, another question: What made you keep the thing secret?"
33279And of course it does show better there, by the window, does n''t it?
33279And so, while there is yet time.... Oh, do n''t you see?
33279And that''s Aygon Castle, is it?
33279And that''s all you have to tell me?"
33279And the other?
33279And the rest of the household?"
33279And then that Italian chap whom Dollops has seen such a lot of to- day-- where does he come in?"
33279And then?"
33279And this is the lady''s spinning wheel, I take it?
33279And those are the only people who have entered this place to- night, Miss Duggan?
33279And what about the rest of the family?
33279And what attraction can this perishing climate have for people of their ilk?
33279And what became of the child, then?"
33279And what colour was the flexible wire?"
33279And what did your bit of private''detecting''bring forth, may I ask?"
33279And what of this Johanna McCall?
33279And where''s the master- hand here?
33279And who among you, may I ask, has such a perfect knowledge of electricity as to equip the thing like that?"
33279And who owns an air- pistol in this place but Mr. Ross Duggan?"
33279And why did I encounter you, running from the direction of the house as fast as your feet could carry you?
33279And why the dickens-- if anything''s happened-- didn''t he know something about it?
33279And why, do you suppose?"
33279And why_ two_ of them?
33279And yet you found it down there-- with something else, Mr.--Cleek?"
33279And yet-- where was the evidence, the intention to murder, as she had suggested?
33279And you ain''t-- ain''t wishin''ter l- lose us, are yer, sir?
33279And you ca n''t find it now?"
33279And you do n''t imagine you''re going to, do you, Cleek?"
33279And you were nearer than the lady had arranged, then?"
33279And you, naturally loving your brother, Miss Duggan, have pieced things together, and have now come to me to see what I can do for you?
33279And-- not a word, old chap?"
33279Any name inside?"
33279Any one in the house got such a thing, do you know?"
33279Any other entrance but this one?"
33279Anything else?"
33279As for the whisky- still business, what more perfect harbour for it than those craggy, heather- covered hills of Scotland?
33279At least we''ve beaten the Coroner at his own business, and that''s always a feather in a policeman''s cap, eh, old friend?"
33279Back to the engine, or not?"
33279Because-- oh, how can I say it?
33279Been fairly recently oiled, I take it?"
33279Beyond the immediate family, and this Miss-- Miss Dowd and your brother''s fiancée?
33279But I ca n''t somehow credit him---- And yet, who else?...
33279But I implored him not-- that is true, is it not, Antoni?
33279But if the thing had actually gone so far as murder, why had there been two of''em-- when one would have done?
33279But it is n''t true, sir, is it?"
33279But it''s my only recreation, Mr. Deland, and I can easily pay it back, so that it''s nobody else''s business, is it?
33279But since then.... Lunnon chap, ai n''t yer?"
33279But stay!--there was the boy Cyril, and if that will had been stolen, why should not he have done it as much as anybody?
33279But this was a bird of another colour, eh?
33279But what the dickens is an Italian doing in these outlandish parts?
33279But what to do if he stayed where he was?
33279But where?
33279But who had it last, I ask you?
33279But, seriously speakin'', where''s my gentleman?
33279But-- which?"
33279By the way, who attends to your laundry, may I ask?
33279By the way, who''s the guilty party_ now_, eh?"
33279By what means?"
33279By whose hand?
33279CHAPTER X THE WOMAN IN THE CASE?
33279CHAPTER XVII A PAIR OF BOOTS Who, indeed?
33279Cleek?"
33279Considering the position in which the shot was fired, and the position in which Mr. Duggan himself stood last night?"
33279D''you think he did the shooting, then?"
33279Deland?"
33279Deland?"
33279Deland?"
33279Deland?"
33279Deland?"
33279Deland?"
33279Deland?"
33279Deland?"
33279Deland?"
33279Did I tread upon your foot?
33279Did I''ear you use the word_ ghosts_?"
33279Did the lady actually see you by any chance?"
33279Did you find any trace of Captain Macdonald''s handwriting, Dollops, to show me?"
33279Did you not feel anything at all of the action?"
33279Did you see that?"
33279Do n''t you know what''s being carried on down there?"
33279Do n''t you, Ross?"
33279Do you know anything about how they got there, Miss Duggan?"
33279Do you know?"
33279Do you think you could find energy enough to take me down?"
33279Does he live here, or is he away at school just now?"
33279Eh?
33279Eh?--wot''s the matter, sir?"
33279Electric shock, eh?
33279Else how would I have travelled back from the underworld into such a position of trust and uniqueness as this?
33279Engaged?
33279Even if he had done such a terrible thing whatever reason would he have had to do it?"
33279Ever looked at the thing, my boy?"
33279Every man- jack of''em, then?
33279Every one of them?"
33279Everything, you see, becomes a clue, does n''t it?
33279Fairnish?"
33279Family do you well, I suppose?"
33279Find''i m, sir?"
33279Fine place, is n''t it?
33279Finished?"
33279Follow me?"
33279Fourth from the left, is n''t it?"
33279Friend of mine-- a Miss Duggan-- Miss Maud Duggan, I think the name is-- lives there, does n''t she?
33279Funny we should all be the same size, is n''t it?"
33279Going out?"
33279Got any brandy in the house?
33279Got it in barrels, have they?
33279Had he discovered what I asked him to?"
33279Happen to notice the size of the boots, by any chance?"
33279Has anything happened to it?
33279Has n''t Mr. Fairnish of the Three Fishers told you the story yet?
33279Have you ever discovered that the young lady lies, Miss Duggan?"
33279Have you looked into that laundry- bill question you were dickering about a while ago?"
33279Have you?"
33279He lives close here, Miss Duggan?"
33279He would n''t come in, but asked me to tell you, would you come round to the servants''quarters as soon as you could?
33279He''d seen that tweed coat before, surely-- but where?
33279Here was possible motive, surely, and what if that note had been written by the worthy Captain?
33279How can I possibly put you upon other clues?
33279How did I come to suspect your brother in the first place?
33279How did it happen?"
33279How did you all happen to be in the library in the first place?"
33279How did you do it?
33279How do you do, Lady Paula?
33279How does that satisfy your mind?"
33279How his hand shakes so that he can not steady it?
33279How is your father''s health?"
33279How long has he been in your father''s employ?"
33279How will that do?"
33279How?
33279How?
33279I believe one of the windows was open, was it not, Lady Paula?"
33279I believe you''re scared stiff-- even at this time of day?"
33279I do n''t believe there''s a nook or cranny of this place which I have n''t seen, is there?"
33279I happened to be coming here, upon this very unpleasant and tragic errand, at the summons of Miss Maud Duggan----""_ Maud_ sent for you?"
33279I imagine the whole thing is a put- up job; do n''t you, Cleek?"
33279I may go now?"
33279I may use that as a sort of office, for the time being, may I not, Lady Paula?
33279I say, you know, this is a bit thick; and-- and who the dickens do you think would have done the thing in this place, may I ask?
33279I say-- come in a moment, wo n''t you?
33279I suppose I could n''t go down?
33279I suppose that''s because your father does n''t approve?"
33279I suppose there''s no lock on the door?
33279I would n''t spend a night down there fer a mint of money-- would you, Guv''nor?"
33279I''m a friend of the family----""But forbidden the house, I take it?"
33279I''m right, am I not?"
33279If people really''belong,''they do n''t have to advertise the fact, do they?
33279If someone in the house has n''t done it, who the dickens_ has_?
33279If the woman had had any real reason for the crime, could she not have been the perpetrator of the stabbing episode?
33279If you will have patience for a short time I shall explain a few things to you, and then----""You know who killed my husband, then?
33279In the courtyard?
33279Is it a family matter, or what?"
33279Is n''t that the luncheon gong?
33279Is that all, then?
33279It has mullioned panes-- see?
33279It should be as ageless as Eternity, as boundless as the sea, as high as Heaven itself.... Are you ready, Andrew dear?"
33279It was that unfilial and cruel son of an unknowing and innocent old man, just as I knew it to be?"
33279It''s not_ gone_, is it?
33279It''s yours, Ross, is n''t it?
33279It''s-- it''s all very sad, Mr. Deland, is n''t it?"
33279It_ is_ rather a teaser for you, is n''t it, old chap?
33279Jarvis, and Batchett, and your bailiff Tavish, and McGubbins?
33279Just ask her afterward-- eh, Miss Duggan?
33279Justice must be done-- and if it''s going to hurt some people pretty badly, it is n''t my fault, is it?"
33279Know where he is by any chance?
33279Lend a hand for what?
33279Lend me your keen eyes, will you?
33279Let''s see-- what''s the time?
33279Like ter go up to''is room, would yer?"
33279Likely lookin''blighter, ai n''t''e?"
33279Looks like it from the pictures, b''Jove, but photography''s frightfully deceptive-- what?
33279Maud, dear, take Mr. Deland round, wo n''t you?
33279Maud, my dear, will you kindly call her?"
33279May I be permitted to congratulate you upon both?"
33279Mean also?"
33279Mean?
33279Miss Debenham, would you mind coming over here for a moment?
33279Miss Duggan, did you say?
33279Mr. Deland, you have still-- much more to proceed with?"
33279Mr. Duggan, do you happen to own an air- pistol?"
33279Mr. Narkom, what''s your opinion?"
33279Mr. Narkom, would you sit down again in the chair?
33279Mr. Tavish''s strength and knowledge of horse- flesh ought to be a real help, eh, my friend?"
33279Narkom?"
33279Narkom?"
33279Narkom?"
33279Narkom?...
33279Narkom?...
33279No doubt it would have been better if we had not used the electricity, for the dreadful thing could never have taken place then, could it?"
33279No names mentioned, Constable... but you found some clues there, I take it?"
33279No one left the house since the-- the thing took place?"
33279No servant has touched it, I suppose?
33279No?
33279No?
33279No?
33279Nothing under- ground?"
33279Notice_ his_ fingers, did you, Mr. Narkom?
33279Now who the dickens would have thought it?"
33279Now, I wonder if this Dago, as Dollops calls him, is a lover of the lady''s or what?...
33279Now, tell exactly the circumstances in which you found it, and why you kept the fact hidden until now?"
33279Now, the question is, where is that bullet, and from what direction was the shot fired?
33279Now, then, what about it?"
33279Now, then-- give it up.... Got him, Dollops?...
33279Now, what the dickens does that battery do, I''d like to know?...
33279Now, who the dickens uses that, I wonder?"
33279Now, who the dickens would have thought it?"
33279Now, who the dickens would have thought it?"
33279Now,''oo in''eavin''s nyme is_ she_?"
33279Oh, Mr. Deland,_ what_ shall I say to them?
33279Only, I should like just a word with Sir Ross and Cyril alone, if I may be granted the favour?
33279Or do n''t you know?"
33279Or entered this room last night before I came, Miss Duggan?"
33279Or have you had some?
33279Or is it just your tangy Highland air that makes me hungry enough to imagine it?"
33279Or what was it that sent you pelting away so hard from the house that held your affianced bride?"
33279Perhaps it had n''t been opened especially for_ him_, then?
33279Pretty strange, is n''t it?...
33279Quite a good workman, is n''t he?"
33279Rather in the way, is n''t it?"
33279Rather peculiar, is n''t it?"
33279Ready, Dollops?
33279Ross Duggan?--with his hobby for electricity?
33279Ross, Ross, do n''t you hear, do n''t you_ see_?
33279Said her business was important-- eh, Petrie?"
33279Saw no one, I suppose, this morning?"
33279See that door there?
33279See the curiously square blade?
33279See?"
33279Seems a woman of one idea all through, does n''t she?
33279Shall I expect you to- night, then, by the midnight express, or would you prefer to travel alone?"
33279Shall I watch my boy Cyril grow up into just another such maniac, think you?
33279She is in the study, I suppose?
33279So Rhea''s in the mystery, too, is he?
33279So what''s prevented it?
33279So you see, that''s not such bad news, is it?"
33279So, you see, Mr. Deland, you ca n''t blame Angus for_ that_, can you?"
33279So_ that''s_ how it is done, is it?"
33279So_ that''s_ how it was done, eh?
33279Some ancestor, no doubt?"
33279Strange that the son loves what the mother hates, is n''t it?
33279Strollin''back to the Castle, are you?
33279Summink wrong_ there_, Gov''nor?"
33279Surely Ross ca n''t be done out of his inheritance that way?
33279Surely you must have seen it?
33279Tablets, eh?
33279Tell me, who''s been tinkering with the electric switches in the library lately?"
33279That I''d ring Rhea''s bell in case of immediate help required?"
33279That is correct, is it not?"
33279That is so, is n''t it?
33279That is where Mr. Narkom and I differ-- eh, old friend?
33279That is, if you''d care about it?"
33279That sounds rude, does n''t it?
33279That''ll be all, I tak''it?"
33279That''s better, ai n''t it?
33279That''s how they described it to me this morning, do you remember?
33279That''s not correct, then?"
33279The Chief Superintendent, eh?
33279The points are much the same-- stiletto or spindle?
33279The thing''s wired-- see?
33279Then may I offer you my congratulations, Miss McCall?
33279Then perhaps you, Miss Duggan?"
33279Then that would account for this fragment of flexible wire, would n''t it?
33279Then what''s your name, may I ask?
33279Then, aloud:"Nice practical joke ter play upon a feller, eh, Mr. Jarvis?
33279Then-- then may I ask who_ you_ are, sir?"
33279Then_ who_ set the gate ajar?
33279They returned with him, I suppose, after having persuaded him not to take such a foolhardy view of the case which I heard this morning?
33279They''ll be along presently, I suppose?"
33279Think you''ve come to the end, then?"
33279This is a queer world, is n''t it?
33279Through this door, eh, Jarvis?
33279Tragic, is it not?...
33279Until he has not rested content but that the whole Highlands be lit with his precious electricity-- at the price of his father''s fortune?...
33279Very muddy, eh?
33279Was it the will?
33279Was it to remove some distinguishing clue which she feared might be found to connect_ her_ with this crime?
33279Was it your brother Ross?"
33279Was n''t she a member of the party, too?"
33279Was the bell muffled_ before_ last night''s tragedy, Cleek-- or is it simply a bird''s nest that''s lodged there and stopped the thing?
33279We do n''t want any more disappearing tricks for the present, do we?"
33279What I want to know is-- what were you doing here last night, when the crime had only just been committed?
33279What about them bottles of port?--or did n''t yer stop ter look into the wine- cellar?
33279What do you know of Miss Catherine Dowd?"
33279What happened then?"
33279What if he was in league with Lady Paula herself, and using a pretended affection for Maud Duggan as a wedge to get into the graces of the household?
33279What if the Captain''s story of shielding someone else were a mere"blind,"as he had thought once before?
33279What made you think I was he?"
33279What on earth are you dragging_ him_ in for?
33279What on earth do you want to know that for?
33279What secrets are locked away in your breast this morning, I wonder?
33279What secrets had that place held in the past and never revealed to the light of day?
33279What secrets might it not hold in the future?
33279What shall I do now?
33279What size are his boots now, I wonder?"
33279What the dickens did you do?
33279What time is tea, by the way?"
33279What to say to her?
33279What was it?
33279What''s that, Lady Paula?
33279What''s that, Miss Duggan?
33279What''s that?
33279What''s that?
33279What''s that?"
33279What''s the lady''s name, Petrie?"
33279What''s the matter with the old spinning wheel, eh?
33279What''s the number of those delicate little trotters?"
33279What''s the old chap like who owns it?"
33279What_ do_ you mean, old chap?
33279What_ shall_ I do?"
33279Where did she originally come from?
33279Where is Lady Paula''s son?
33279Where is your stepmother?"
33279Where were your eyes?"
33279Where''s Miss-- Miss-- er-- McCall?
33279Where''s your friend Balmy, eh?"
33279Where?
33279Where?"
33279Who but yourself, Maud?"
33279Who do_ you_ think has committed this crime, according to present evidence?"
33279Who knew anything of Lady Paula but that she was the daughter of a famous criminal who had paid the last penalty for his crime?
33279Who knew?
33279Who says anything about killing two birds with one stone?
33279Who''d have thought it?--who, indeed?
33279Why, sir?"
33279Why?
33279Why?"
33279Will you promise me that?"
33279Wiv a throne an''a crahn and a bloomin''spectur in yer''and?
33279Wo n''t say''no''to a nibble er chicken, I lay, follered with a dash er Peach Melba?...
33279Wonder what he was doing here at this time of night?
33279Wot say to a little walk, Mr. Ginger-''Air?
33279Wot''s''e, anyway?--your Mr. Deland?
33279Would a woman face a murdered man for a mere handkerchief?...
33279Would you be good enough, as you''re passing, to ask the constable on duty outside the library door to come to me a moment?
33279You ai n''t a- pinin''fer the Crash Pots, I''opes?
33279You ai n''t arskin''me ter meet the lidy, are yer, sir?"
33279You are Scotch, are you not?"
33279You are positive of that?"
33279You can answer to that?
33279You can fix us in all right, I suppose?"
33279You caught my meaning, of course?
33279You do n''t mean to tell me that_ It_ murdered Sir Andrew, do you?
33279You do n''t suppose the spindle of_ that_ thing could have anything to do with it, eh?"
33279You followed out my instructions?"
33279You gave Inspector Petrie the word if we needed him?
33279You have been married that long, have you not?
33279You have, no doubt, put it away, Mr. Duggan?
33279You knew of the crime, then, Captain?
33279You know what those men were doing?"
33279You know?--you know?"
33279You really did hear that, Miss Duggan?"
33279You remember?
33279You surely do n''t think the bell''s been stopped for any purpose?"
33279You think I did right about the stiletto?--knowing the bad blood which lies between Lady Paula and Ross?
33279You think that, Mr. Narkom?
33279You understand that, Miss Duggan, I hope?
33279You understand that, of course?"
33279You understand?"
33279You were at your husband''s right hand, a little way back, Lady Paula?
33279You were speaking in jest, of course?"
33279You will keep your promise?"
33279You wo n''t help me?"
33279You''ll be visitin''there, no doubt?"
33279You''ll call me if necessary, wo n''t you?
33279You''ll swear upon that?"
33279You''re a stranger to these parts, I suppose?"
33279You''re not going to-- arrest-- him on that, I hope?"
33279You''ve no objections, I trust?"
33279You, Miss Dowd, stood at the left hand, right back against the wall, with Miss Debenham on_ your_ left-- oh, a little forward, eh?
33279Your father has actually volunteered that statement, Miss Duggan?"
33279Your sister has told me the rough outline, and----""My sister?"
33279_ School friend of Miss Ailsa Lorne._--Ailsa Lorne, eh?
33279_ that''s_ what the blighter''s doing, is he?
33279and how could they possibly get on_ my_ frock?
33279but it''s a topsy- turvy, crazy sort of a world we live in, is n''t it?"
33279is that you, Jarvis?
33279man, you''re not accusing me of murdering my own father, are you?
33279said Cleek in two different tones,"so the window was open, was it?"
33279she rapped out excitedly,"how she misleads everything we say, and turns it all to her own ends?
33279that points nearer home, anyway, and it''ll be something to go on.... What''s that?
33279that''s Rhea''s bell, is n''t it?
33279we''ve been a long time here, have n''t we?
33279what are you doing here?"
33279what does it mean, eh?
33279what is that?
33279what to do?
33279what''s this?
33279what?
33546A foreigner?
33546A row?
33546About this train, Letty?
33546Am I responsible for this, too?
33546An income of forty thousand pounds?
33546And have you come to any conclusion?
33546And my little guide?
33546And now you must make out my bill, please, and what about a few sandwiches? 33546 And she?"
33546And supposing,Macheson said,"that I were to tell you that this lady is a friend of mine, and that I will not have you intrude upon her-- what then?"
33546And that he could not have had, could he?
33546And this?
33546And what business is it of yours?
33546And what time does the train go back?
33546And what,she asked, with a faint curl of her beautiful lips,"do you consider the great truths of life?"
33546And who,he asked,"is Jean le Roi?"
33546And you are Mr. Hurd''s son, are you not?
33546And you started your work,she asked,"directly you left college?"
33546And you waited upon him?
33546And you, Mademoiselle?
33546And you?
33546And you?
33546And your headquarters are where?
33546And your son?
33546Anything else?
33546Are you cured?
33546Are you going to keep me here long?
33546Are you going to take me to the police- station?
33546Are you off too?
33546Are you?
33546By the bye, Mr. Hurd, have you ever seen the rose gardens at Carrow?
33546By the bye, Mr. Hurd, what sort of a landlord am I? 33546 By the bye, do you know where he is staying?"
33546By the bye, what has become of that young man?
33546Can I give my father any message? 33546 Can I take care of the horses for a moment, while you go and see what it is?"
33546Can you do it?
33546Can you reach her from prison?
33546Can you swim?
33546Care for a game of billiards?
33546Chosen your weapons yet?
33546Confess,she said,"you like me better here than in London, do n''t you?"
33546Could one conceive a more favourable opportunity? 33546 Country houses should exist for----""For what, Mr. Deyes?
33546Cured?
33546Did he make any difficulty?
33546Did n''t approve of you to such an extent?
33546Did she tell you to what part of England the man Johnson had gone?
33546Did you ever know me to change my mind? 33546 Did you want so much more?"
33546Do I understand,Macheson asked,"that you have a definite scheme in which you are inviting me to take part?"
33546Do n''t they mean something different to every man?
33546Do n''t you envy me?
33546Do n''t you think it might be helpful if you gave me more of your confidence, and told me why you wanted to hear about him?
33546Do n''t you think, Stephen,she pleaded,"that it would be nice for me to stay with Mrs. Brown until-- until we are married?"
33546Do they feel-- really, these people,he asked,"or are they Stoics?"
33546Do you believe that that is the case?
33546Do you believe,she answered,"that I-- I take myself not personally but as a type-- am as happy as they are?"
33546Do you continue the warfare,he asked,"or has the young man''s prowess softened your heart?"
33546Do you ever feel as though something were going to happen?
33546Do you have to look after all the servants?
33546Do you know that we have n''t been to bed before six one morning since we arrived in Paris?
33546Do you know that you are really a very extraordinary person?
33546Do you mind coming back for a moment into your study? 33546 Do you mind explaining yourself?"
33546Do you mind if we sit down here for a minute,she asked,"my friend and I?
33546Do you remember what you said?
33546Do you think I could find him?
33546Do you wonder,she asked,"why I have never married?"
33546Does he-- exist then?
33546Does it not seem very strange that the money was left untouched?
33546Does n''t Miss Thorpe- Hatton ever order anything?
33546Does she-- exist?
33546Does your mother know of this, Letty?
33546Engaged?
33546Exactly why?
33546Feeling shy, Victor?
33546Flattering?
33546For instance?
33546Funny thing, is n''t it? 33546 Had n''t you better tell me-- the rest?"
33546Has he made any attempt to hold a meeting?
33546Has it ever occurred to you,she asked quietly,"that you left me a little abruptly the other afternoon?"
33546Have the people here,he asked,"been connecting me with this child''s disappearance?"
33546Have you any other-- instances?
33546Have you found what you call your proclivities?
33546Have you lost your way?
33546Have you seen him?
33546Have you seen or heard anything of a young man named Macheson in the village?
33546Have you, or had you, ever a sister?
33546He scarcely seems a likely person, does he, to aid a criminal?
33546How about yourself? 33546 How are you all?"
33546How can I expect to keep my other guests if you desert us?
33546How can I free myself,she asked,"except by making myself the laughing- stock of the country?"
33546How did-- how did you get here?
33546How do you know that it is n''t the truth?
33546How else? 33546 How far is it to Nottingham?"
33546How much do you want?
33546How should I?
33546How should you,he answered,"when I''m in the same fix myself?"
33546How''s the Canadian farm going, Finlayson?
33546I have a right to it, have n''t I?
33546I have n''t much choice, have I?
33546I presume, Mr. Hurd,she said quietly,"that amongst your father''s private papers you did not discover anything-- unexpected?"
33546I say, Macheson, how is it none of us ever ran up against you before?
33546I say, old chap,he began,"are n''t you trying Ella a bit high?
33546I should like to know where my part comes in?
33546I suppose he''s a decent fellow-- the agent''s son?
33546I suppose they are the stronger team, are n''t they?
33546I think,she said,"that we drink the good health of our host, Meester Macheson, Meester Victor, is it not?"
33546I thought you were to go to Marienbad?
33546I understood-- I expected----"Well?
33546I was wondering,he answered,"what it was like-- outside?"
33546I wonder,he said softly,"if it does any good-- any real good?"
33546I''d like to go to Stepney, too, but could we hit it, Henwood and I?
33546I''ll grant you the elements of humour in the situation,he said,"but you can scarcely expect me to appreciate it, can you?
33546If it were,she interrupted,"well?"
33546Indeed?
33546Is François the man- cook who comes down to Thorpe?
33546Is anything the matter?
33546Is he back from South Africa?
33546Is it anything very serious? 33546 Is it better now?"
33546Is it possible,she murmured,"that there exists anything which Gilbert Deyes does not understand?"
33546Is it something serious?
33546Is it that another has taken my place?
33546Is it the young man, I wonder,Lady Peggy remarked,"who came up the avenue as though he were walking on air?"
33546Is it-- the missioner?
33546Is n''t it rather surprising to have tramps-- in Thorpe?
33546Is n''t this desire for solitude somewhat of a new departure, though?
33546Is there any trouble?
33546Is there anything else you will be wanting?
33546Is there anything fresh down at Thorpe?
33546Is this true?
33546Is your mother with you?
33546Is-- is she there?
33546It is Mr. Macheson, is it not?
33546It is a horrid word, is n''t it?
33546It makes one feel as though one were in a hotel, does n''t it?
33546It was in the bond, was n''t it?
33546It was locked up?
33546It''s all fixed up about Paris, is n''t it? 33546 James,"she said,"do you know what all this means?"
33546Jean le Roi?
33546Left altogether?
33546Letty,he said gravely,"have you missed your train?"
33546Letty,he said,"are you married to him?"
33546Little wife,he whispered,"do n''t you understand-- that I am a man, and that it is you I want?"
33546Liver?
33546Look here,he said to Macheson,"have you been following us about?"
33546Look here,he said,"supposing you spent the night at Miss Thorpe- Hatton''s house in Berkeley Square-- no one could say anything then, could they?"
33546Many things,he answered;"amongst them, why does Wilhelmina patronize this young man?
33546May I see which packet you refer to?
33546Miss Thorpe- Hatton in?
33546Miss Thorpe- Hatton,he said,"will you allow me to speak to you alone for two minutes?"
33546Monsieur comes often to Paris?
33546Mr. Hurd,he said,"at the risk of seeming impertinent, I must ask you precisely where you intend taking this girl to- night?"
33546Mr. Macheson lodged with your mother, I believe?
33546Mr. Macheson, I believe?
33546Mr. Macheson, will you walk with me a little way? 33546 Mr. Macheson,"she said gravely,"what is the meaning of this?"
33546My dear Gilbert,she said,"have n''t I always said that I never intend to marry any one who proposes to me?
33546My dear Lady Peggy,he inquired,"whence this exceptional industry?"
33546My dear child,she said,"is it likely I should keep you here without orders?
33546No one shooting, then?
33546No? 33546 Not I,"Macheson answered"but you have crystallized your ideas into a cult, have n''t you?
33546Nothing, thank you,Wilhelmina answered, and then, seeing that the woman lingered, she continued:"Are you wanting to get rid of us?"
33546Of course,Macheson answered,"but do n''t you rather overlook the support which doctrine gives to the weak and superstitious?"
33546Of what is it a sign,he asked,"when a woman seeks solitude?"
33546Out of my own house?
33546Out of my wife''s room? 33546 Perhaps he would like to shoot with my guests on Thursday?"
33546Play bridge?
33546Probably not,Macheson answered,"but what am I to say?"
33546Say,she pleaded in his ear,"do n''t you want to be a little nicer to me to- night?"
33546Scarcely that, was it?
33546Shall I ask her to join us?
33546Shall I move farther back, madam?
33546Shall I teach you?
33546Shall I wait in the passage?
33546Shocking hostess, am I not?
33546Since when?
33546So that you could not tell if any were missing?
33546So you,he murmured,"are my brother- in- law?"
33546Sounds healthy, does n''t it?
33546Suppose I take Jean le Roi off your hands? 33546 That reminds me,"she remarked,"is it true that Gullimore has had trouble with his daughter?"
33546That''s all very well, Gilbert,she said,"but what should we do if we could n''t get rid of some of these lunatics for at least part of the day?"
33546The agent''s son?
33546The masks came off?
33546The young people have, I presume, been conducting their love- making discreetly?
33546Then do you want to come and kiss me every day?
33546Then of what is it a sign,he persisted,"when a woman tires of people-- like us?"
33546There has been no drunkenness?
33546There is no cottage there?
33546There is no mistake?
33546There is no name by which you call yourselves?
33546There is no news of the man-- no fresh capture?
33546There is nothing else to- night, then?
33546There is nothing the matter?
33546There was a woman there?
33546There''s no trouble like, I hope, sir?
33546They did n''t hear any struggle then?
33546To Paris? 33546 To awaken those who sleep in the daytime-- is that mischief?"
33546To be laughed at-- as you did before?
33546To descend to the commonplace, what on earth do you want me to go to Paris for?
33546To every one of us?
33546To follow out your argument, sir, to its logical conclusion,he said,"why not aim higher still?
33546To use one''s life for others,he had repeated thoughtfully-- it was the enthusiast of the party who had spoken--"but how?"
33546To what religious body do you belong?
33546To- morrow?
33546Warfare is scarcely the word, is it?
33546Was she one of those old country frumps-- all starch and prejudice?
33546We are quite_ à la mode_, are we not, my dear Peggy?
33546We ca n''t agree, can we?
33546Well, Letty,he said,"what is it?"
33546Well, hang it all, you brought her over, did n''t you?
33546Well, is n''t that what we came for?
33546Well,he said,"what do you want to know?"
33546Well,she said,"tell me exactly what it is that you want?"
33546Well?
33546Well?
33546Were you wanting to speak to John, Mr. Stephen? 33546 What about her?"
33546What about me?
33546What about your pheasants, Victor?
33546What am I expected to say to that?
33546What am I to learn of this?
33546What are the things beautiful?
33546What are we here for but to eat and drink and enjoy ourselves? 33546 What are you doing here, old man?"
33546What are you doing here?
33546What are you doing here?
33546What are you doing in my wife''s bedroom?
33546What are you doing it for, Dick?
33546What are you going to do now?
33546What are you going to do?
33546What are you going to say to Stephen Hurd?
33546What are you staring at?
33546What are you thinking of, man? 33546 What can I do for you?"
33546What can I do for you?
33546What can I do to help you?
33546What did he say?
33546What do you know about that?
33546What do you mean?
33546What do you want with her?
33546What do you want with me?
33546What do you want? 33546 What does it mean?"
33546What else is it but a tragedy,he demanded,"the kiss that is a lie-- or worse?
33546What good would that do me? 33546 What has he done?"
33546What have you been doing?
33546What have you been up to?
33546What have you done?
33546What if I give you up to the police?
33546What is it that you want then?
33546What is it, Johnson?
33546What is it, Perkins?
33546What is it?
33546What is it?
33546What is it?
33546What is that?
33546What is that?
33546What is this place?
33546What of it?
33546What on earth have you been doing to her, Gilbert?
33546What the devil are you doing here?
33546What the devil business is it of yours?
33546What time does she generally get down?
33546What time was it when you first saw him?
33546What time was she expected home?
33546What was he like?
33546What was your answer?
33546What would you have? 33546 What, in Thorpe?"
33546What, without supper?
33546When did this girl Letty leave home?
33546Where am I?
33546Where are you going to now?
33546Where are you off to?
33546Where can I hide? 33546 Where do we find the lost souls-- I mean upon what principle of selection do we work?"
33546Where do you get your information from?
33546Where have they all been?
33546Where have you been spending the evening?
33546Where is Gilbert?
33546Where is he staying now?
33546Where is he?
33546Where is the nearest?
33546Whether it is Leap Year or not?
33546Which way were you going?
33546Who can tell?
33546Who is in that room?
33546Who is that going in?
33546Who is that?
33546Who is the other batsman?
33546Who is we?
33546Who knows?
33546Who put you up to asking that?
33546Who wants you to go? 33546 Whom shall we get for a fourth?"
33546Why are you staying on in England?
33546Why did you not meet me? 33546 Why did you send for me?"
33546Why do you come here?
33546Why do you want to talk to every one?
33546Why does he sit here with us, this young man? 33546 Why is he playing?"
33546Why not mine?
33546Why not stay here?
33546Why not? 33546 Why not?
33546Why not? 33546 Why not?"
33546Why not?
33546Why not?
33546Why not?
33546Why not?
33546Why not?
33546Why not?
33546Why not?
33546Why should I give you up to a boy who has n''t learnt yet the first lesson of life?
33546Why should I go and lecture to them? 33546 Why should n''t she?"
33546Why should one search at all?
33546Why the devil ca n''t you mind your own business?
33546Why the dickens does n''t she marry Leslie?
33546Why, Letty,he said,"how long have you been thinking of this?"
33546Why?
33546Will you come quietly?
33546Will you execute a commission for me to- morrow?
33546Will you get in or wo n''t you, Letty?
33546Will you tell me,Macheson asked,"how it all came about?
33546Wo n''t you come inside, sir, and sit down? 33546 Wonderful morning, is n''t it?"
33546Wonderful, were n''t they?
33546Work?
33546Would you like to go?
33546Would you like to hear some more?
33546Yes?
33546Yet it has occurred to you?
33546You are Mr. Hurd, I believe?
33546You are for Marienbad, as usual?
33546You are going to desert us?
33546You are going to the House again, Stephen?
33546You are going to town?
33546You are inclined to be independent, are n''t you?
33546You are not going back-- to Thorpe?
33546You are not thinking of any violence?
33546You are poor?
33546You are really going-- soon?
33546You are sure of that?
33546You are well?
33546You are-- quite safe?
33546You can give me a couple of days, I suppose?
33546You can''t-- you do n''t mean to say that you know-- any of these?
33546You carried out my instructions with regard to the papers and documents belonging to the estate?
33546You did n''t believe it?
33546You did n''t believe it?
33546You did not go through them yourself?
33546You did not, of course, give him permission to hold these services?
33546You do not anticipate then,Deyes remarked,"that his labours here will be crowned with success?"
33546You do not object to my appealing to Miss Thorpe- Hatton herself?
33546You enjoy good health?
33546You executed my commission,she asked,"respecting that young man?"
33546You find it-- satisfying?
33546You got my telegram?
33546You have any further reason for thinking so,she asked,"beyond your casual inquiries?"
33546You have no churches then?
33546You have no idea then,she asked softly,"of the contents of this packet?"
33546You know that our host and hostess have deserted us?
33546You mean Samuel Gullimore-- my farrier?
33546You mean that it is all a matter of temptation?
33546You mean that you are going away, to leave Thorpe?
33546You mean that?
33546You mean this young missioner?
33546You mean-- that Mr. Hurd is dead?
33546You mean-- that it is n''t any use?
33546You play cards?
33546You think that it is like that with me?
33546You want your freedom, then?
33546You went there?
33546You will not object,Macheson said,"if I accompany you there?"
33546You will tell your son about Thursday?
33546You wished to see me?
33546You wo n''t let me use the barn, then?
33546You wo n''t mind admitting-- to me-- that you are surprised?
33546You would have me believe, then,she said,"that my peaceful village is a veritable den of iniquity?"
33546You''re feeling like that, are you?
33546You, too, then, Mr. Hurd,she said,"you are content with your life?
33546You-- are not serious?
33546You-- didn''t know it? 33546 Your complaint is, then, that I will not marry you?"
33546Your father never spoke, then, of any connexions with people-- outside Thorpe-- likely to prove of a dangerous character?
33546Your friends,she murmured,"are they-- that sort?
33546Your husband?
33546_ Au Rat Mort?_she whispered.
33546A very queer sort of person, I should think?"
33546Across the hills home, or are your shoes too thin?"
33546After all, why need he worry?
33546Am I easy, or do I exact my last pound of flesh?
33546And Leicester?"
33546And how''s your father, Mr. Hurd?
33546And what do you two want of me at this hour of the night?"
33546And who is this?"
33546And yet, was she?
33546And you repaid me-- how?"
33546And you-- who are you?"
33546Are n''t we all on the same quest?
33546Are you coming round to- night?"
33546Are you sure we shall have enough bedrooms?"
33546But anyhow, it is n''t daubed on like Lady Sydney''s-- makes her look for all the world like one of''ces dames,''does n''t it?
33546But the process of looking around wearied Macheson excessively-- or was it something else which had crept into his blood to his immense unsettlement?
33546But why choose a woman who is head and ears in love with some one else?"
33546But why did you want to come and preach to my villagers at Thorpe?
33546By the bye, Wilhelmina, am I hostess or are you?"
33546By the bye, was n''t there a whisper of something the year she lived in Florence?"
33546By the bye, you are having a dose of religion from a new source hereabouts, are you not?"
33546CHAPTER XVIII LETTY''S DILEMMA"You are quite sure,"the girl said anxiously,"that Miss Thorpe- Hatton wants to see me?
33546Ca n''t you come again in the morning?"
33546Ca n''t you see her close her eyes and draw away her skirts if she should brush up against one of these?"
33546Can you do me a country walk in November for the paper?
33546Can you suggest anything, Dick?"
33546Can you tell, I wonder, by looking at people, to which order they belong?"
33546Clothes up in town?"
33546Convert of yours?"
33546Could he have offended in any way?
33546Could n''t I get a situation as lady''s help or companion or something of that sort?
33546Could n''t he meet them somewhere, or might they come and see him?
33546Dick, do you think St. Paul could have opened their eyes?"
33546Did you ever hear of Ferguson Davis, the money- lender?
33546Did you know what a man about town I was, Victor?
33546Did you know, Mr. Macheson, that Letty Foulton has left home and has gone away without a word to her mother?"
33546Did you meet Lucifer walking in the rose garden?"
33546Did you notice her pearls, Victor?"
33546Do n''t you understand, you bewitching little fool?
33546Do we meet in Marienbad?"
33546Do you imagine that if I had not known you-- I should have let you go?"
33546Do you imagine that the Mademoiselle Rosines of the world count for anything?
33546Do you know how long he was proposing to stay with you?"
33546Do you know what it means to be a lady, the supreme test of good manners?
33546Do you know what radium is?"
33546Do you know who he is, and where he came from?"
33546Do you remember the old German, who said that beautiful thoughts were the finest pictures to hang upon your walls?
33546Do you remember, for instance, how I wanted to convert all your villagers by storm?"
33546Do you think that the see- saw will be always one way?
33546Do you think that this boy will fare better than the rest, with his preaching and lectures and East End work?
33546Does he know?"
33546Eh?"
33546Eh?"
33546Five o''clock, is n''t it?
33546Foulton?"
33546Fourth Printing[ Illustration:"DO YOU MIND EXPLAINING YOURSELF?"
33546From where?
33546Gilbert,"she broke off, addressing Deyes, who was just being ushered in,"how dare you come to dinner without being asked?
33546Good weather for the harvest, eh?"
33546Had he been dreaming, he wondered a moment later, or had that strange smile indeed curved her lips, that marvellous light indeed flowed from her eyes?
33546Had she guessed that he knew her secret?
33546Hang it all, do you forget that I''m the editor of a Socialist magazine?
33546Have you ever seen him before?"
33546He is well enough, of course, but----"he shrugged his shoulders expressively;"the thing needs an explanation, does n''t it?"
33546He may be here to- morrow, the next day, who can tell?
33546Hospitals, mission houses, orphanages, colonial farms-- are we to have no credit for these?"
33546How could he, when for the last forty years his life was practically spent in this village street?"
33546How else?
33546Hullo, who''s this?"
33546Hurd?"
33546Hurd?"
33546Hurd?"
33546Hurd?"
33546Hurd?"
33546Hurd?"
33546I am sorry to have to speak so plainly, but you see we have n''t much time for beating about the bush, have we?
33546I daresay one could amuse oneself?"
33546I hope you have n''t torn your dress?"
33546I presume, Mr. Hurd, that nothing has been going on in the place with which I am unacquainted?"
33546I suppose it was a case of attempted robbery?"
33546I thought if I went to London,"she added wistfully,"I might learn?"
33546I wonder if I might be permitted to ask you one?"
33546In plain words, sir, according to your lights-- what must we do to be saved?"
33546Is any one coming to lunch?"
33546Is it because you''re in love with this would- be saint here?"
33546Is it not so, my friends?"
33546Is it not so?
33546Is it that I will not marry you?"
33546Is it that he, too, wants money?"
33546Is it the thunder, I wonder?"
33546It could have been annulled, surely?"
33546It is early yet, I suppose?"
33546Macheson?"
33546Macheson?"
33546Macheson?"
33546May I come and lunch to- morrow?"
33546Messieurs are lonely?"
33546Monsieur with the ruffled hair and black eyes?
33546Now tell me,"she continued,"what has brought you back to the scene of your persecutions?
33546Now which of the two do you think need preaching to, these people, or the people who are responsible for them?
33546Once and for all, are you coming?"
33546Or will you smoke first?"
33546Preaching off, eh?"
33546See what I mean?"
33546See?
33546Send me, please, a thousand pounds to- morrow between three and four-- or shall I come and fetch it, and you?
33546Shall I go on?"
33546Shall we ever have a revolution in London, do you think, Victor?"
33546Shall we say a couple of sovereigns for the week?"
33546Shall we say that we leave here at two, and get back to the hotel?"
33546She had been good- looking, I should say, but she was very ill.""What did she tell you-- about the man Johnson?"
33546She is at home, is she not?"
33546She sighed-- or was it a yawn?
33546She will return?
33546Some one was asking for a cake- walk?
33546Suppose I promise that your marriage shall be annulled without a line in the newspapers, without a single vestige of publicity?"
33546Suppose I promise to send him back to his own country like a rat to his hole?
33546That is the law, eh?"
33546That''s so, is n''t it, Macheson?"
33546The gentleman with the smooth- shaven face, who read a newspaper and supped alone?
33546The lady with fair hair and dark eyes, Macheson asked, was she English?
33546Then his thoughts flashed backwards-- where or how had he become possessed of them?
33546There''s nothing against him, sir-- surely?"
33546They made remarks about the storm and her ill- luck-- had she been far from shelter?
33546To which of your two orders does he belong?"
33546To- night?"
33546Try, wo n''t you?"
33546Uphill work, was n''t it?"
33546Was he weaker than his friend-- had he, indeed, more to fear?
33546Was her ladyship gracious?"
33546Was it Deyes?
33546Was it a pilgrimage they were to start upon-- or what?
33546Was it one of the village girls, who had seen him that afternoon?
33546Was it only the novelty which she found attractive?
33546Was it the English rain which could soften and beautify like this?
33546Was it the light, the colouring, or was she really still so good to look at?
33546Was she born, I wonder, with ice in her veins?"
33546Was she his wife or his daughter?"
33546We are going to be married, are n''t we?"
33546We will eat it-- somehow, wo n''t we, Rosine?"
33546Well, we''re all here, are n''t we?
33546Were men really attracted by this sort of thing?
33546What about the two- twenty to- morrow?
33546What about these Welshmen, though?"
33546What are they worth?
33546What could she have to say to Macheson?
33546What devil was it that sent you stealing down the lane that night from your house, I wonder?"
33546What did it all amount to?
33546What did it mean?
33546What did this young man know of the circumstances?
33546What did this young man possess that he should convey so strong a sense of power?
33546What do you care?
33546What do you know of that infernal, that everlasting tragedy of sin and suffering that seethes around you?
33546What do you say, Lady Peggy?"
33546What do you think might be the income of this lady?"
33546What do you think of that?"
33546What dogs?"
33546What harm can I possibly do by talking to your villagers?"
33546What is it that you want with me?"
33546What is it that you want?
33546What is it to you?
33546What is the matter?"
33546What keeps their hands from our throats, Dick?"
33546What on earth is that you are drinking?"
33546What was it sent you there, Victor?"
33546What was it that was passing in his mind?
33546What was she like?
33546What was she yet but a girl?
33546What was the name of the café?"
33546What''s become of the music?
33546What''s that?
33546What''s the good of preaching to these people?
33546Where are you going to meet Letty?"
33546Where are you staying?"
33546Where on earth have you sprung from?"
33546Which would you rather face?"
33546Who are you?"
33546Who could sleep with such a fire in his blood as this?
33546Who is he?"
33546Why call in servants?
33546Why did n''t you go into the Church if you cared for that sort of thing?"
33546Why did you entertain the idea of mission work in a place like Thorpe, when the whole of that awful East End was there waiting for you?"
33546Why do you refuse me?
33546Why not direct your energies, then, towards the men and women of Society?
33546Why not?
33546Why not?"
33546Why should I?
33546Why should he imagine that he can alter the things that are?"
33546Why should you care?
33546Will you go outside and rouse the servants?
33546Will you shake hands?"
33546Will you tell him to come up some day?"
33546With Mademoiselle Rosine?"
33546Would you care to see him to- morrow morning?"
33546You are a Christian, are n''t you-- almost an orthodox Christian?"
33546You believe that they are really contented?"
33546You can work to that, ca n''t you?"
33546You could manage that?
33546You do n''t know where she is?"
33546You do n''t mind my being personal, do you?
33546You do n''t often come here, do you?"
33546You do n''t want to talk to every pretty girl, do you?"
33546You have n''t become a straw- splitter, have you?"
33546You have sunk so low that you are content to sit and listen to the story of your ignominy...."What fascination was it that kept them in their places?
33546You hear that, my friend?
33546You lunched there, did n''t you?"
33546You understand?
33546You understand?"
33546You were perhaps thinking of settling down?"
33546You''ve been-- seeing life lately, have n''t you?"
33546Yours is rather a unique position, is n''t it?
33546do you hear that?"
33546she asked;"or do you think that he got clean away?"
33546she exclaimed,"do n''t interrupt us, will you?
33546was she not terrified by the lightning?
33988A_ tête- à- tête_ breakfast was not a bad idea, was it?
33988Adrienne, what is it, little woman?
33988All well, Dyson?
33988Am I intruding?
33988And Gracie likes her?
33988And cowards, I suppose?
33988And do you owe me no love? 33988 And how is it that you are home so quickly?"
33988And it is I to whom you dare to come for help-- I whom you ask to save him-- your husband? 33988 And she replied?"
33988And supposing the sail went?
33988And what have you done to my_ Ottos_?
33988And why should you be sad?
33988And why?
33988And will you come that way home to- night, after the concert?
33988And you are content?
33988And you are going to think of nothing but amusing yourself all your life?
33988And you have been nursing me all the time?
33988And your mother, Margharita?
33988Angry? 33988 Are all your songs sad ones, Miss Briscoe?"
33988Are you afraid of being dull here?
33988Are you alone?
33988Are you awake? 33988 Are you engaged, then?"
33988Are you nervous, Margharita?
33988Are you not afraid, Eleanor, that some day you will grow tired of amusing yourself?
33988Are you sure of the name?
33988Are you very anxious to remember?
33988At what time?
33988But I shall-- remember-- some day?
33988But what would you have? 33988 But, Miss Briscoe?"
33988But, are you?
33988Ca n''t you offer us something in the shape of an antidote?
33988Ca n''t you see it? 33988 Can not you spare me a short five minutes?
33988Certain?
33988Dead or alive?
33988Did he say where he was going to? 33988 Did you ever hear of such a thing?"
33988Did you know that the Count di Marioni, your uncle, was in London?
33988Do n''t you remember my telling you of my adventure in Piccadilly, mother?
33988Do n''t you remember? 33988 Do you care for me-- just a little?"
33988Do you know anything about this paragraph?
33988Do you mean that you remember these things?
33988Do you mean that?
33988Do you mind dying, Lumley?
33988Do you really want to know?
33988Do you remember how terrible he looked when they arrested him on the sands, and those fierce threatening words of his? 33988 Do you remember the day when I was to have called for you at the''Travelers,''and you waited for me, and I did not come?
33988Do you see that belt of white road there, leading up into the hills?
33988Does Lady St. Maurice know?
33988Does the Signor want a knife?
33988Does this lead to any place in particular?
33988Even if she remains sane, will you tell me this? 33988 First; have you succeeded as you expected?
33988For how long, sir?
33988Forgot what?
33988Four on the acting committee, you mean, I suppose?
33988Frightened yet, dearest?
33988Geoffrey, it is very foolish to let it trouble me, is it not?
33988Had n''t you better go and shoot something?
33988Have I not tried?
33988Have any Danish trophies ever been found about here?
33988Have you been away?
33988Have you been in danger?
33988Have you noticed anything pass along it?
33988Have you?
33988He always was fond of Gracie though, was n''t he?
33988He gave you no reason whatever, then?
33988He is still here, I suppose?
33988He is-- is not dead, is he?
33988He was a young man?
33988How are you going to do the killing?
33988How can I help thinking so? 33988 How can I remember anything-- think of anything, now?
33988How can that be? 33988 How could any one help it?"
33988How did the affair end?
33988How did you find me here?
33988How did you know that?
33988How do you know that?
33988How does all this concern her?
33988How does the great experiment go?
33988I can go to her?
33988I fear that I do not quite understand you,he said quietly, although his voice and limbs were trembling with passion;"to whom do you allude?"
33988I suppose Marioni is dangerous?
33988I want to know why you object to my society so much, Miss Briscoe?
33988I wonder,he said,"what the devil made you send for me?"
33988If I do so,he said doubtfully,"will you promise to keep it absolutely secret?"
33988If he has not forgotten us altogether, what harm could he do us?
33988In what way?
33988Is he asleep, do you think?
33988Is it not to escape from them all, that we came this way? 33988 Is it you, Leonardo?"
33988Is it your business, Lord Lumley?
33988Is n''t that rather a rash assumption?
33988Is that what you are fearing?
33988Is the breeze stiffening, do you think? 33988 Is there any need, Leonardo?"
33988Is there no one here whom I have ever seen before?
33988Is-- Mr. Bartlezzi in?
33988It is to be to- night?
33988Leonardo, have you no word for me?
33988Leonardo, how can I? 33988 Leonardo, we have been friends, have we not?
33988Listen, have you never heard this when the north wind blows?
33988Lord Lumley said nothing to you, I suppose, Margharita, about going away?
33988Lord St. Maurice, are you not weary of skulking behind a woman''s petticoats? 33988 Margharita, what does this mean?
33988Margharita, you are better, dear? 33988 May I ask a favor?"
33988May I ask, have you still correspondents or friends in that country?
33988May I be permitted to ask, are you a relation of the Count''s?
33988May I call on you to- morrow?
33988May I go to my room?
33988Might we inquire your reasons for declining the duel?
33988Miss Briscoe, are you too tired, or may we ask for a little music?
33988Miss Briscoe,he began, during a momentary halt while they watched a yacht tacking in the bay below,"may I ask you a question?"
33988My dear Adrienne, do n''t you think we were a little foolish to walk home so late as this? 33988 My letters reached you safely?"
33988Natives?
33988No; you have had no chance, then? 33988 Nor water rate?
33988Not I?
33988Oh, how grateful we are, are we not, Margharita?
33988Powers,she begged,"will you lock my door at night?
33988Shall I announce you, madam?
33988Shall I ever be like other girls?
33988Shall we turn now, dear?
33988She does not suspect me at all?
33988She sings to- night, does she not?
33988Since when? 33988 Spare you?
33988Still, if it were so?
33988Suppose there was something between us which nothing could alter, nothing could move-- what then?
33988Supposing that, if we lived, something came between us?
33988Supposing you had forgotten them, and that we had no oars?
33988Sure?
33988Surely you do n''t expect to go on teaching that child?
33988Tell me, are you happy?
33988Tell me, do I so easily relinquish my great desire? 33988 Tell me, does she know?
33988Tell me, has he been here?
33988That walk was quite an event, was n''t it? 33988 The Signorina will not listen to reason, then?"
33988The numbers have fallen off, I suppose? 33988 The one, I mean, which concerns the Count di Marioni?"
33988The singer?
33988Then what the mischief does he want here?
33988Then you have escaped?
33988Then you wo n''t tell me?
33988There is no one, then,he asked,"who is likely to make inquiries about you?
33988There would be danger, then?
33988Ulric?
33988Uncle, shall it not be so?
33988Uncle, you----"Will you go away, please?
33988Was I very foolish?
33988Was n''t it delightful of them?
33988Was not the sentence for life?
33988We are friends now, are we not?
33988Well, and now you''ve found me, what do you want?
33988Well, how do you like the first item in my programme?
33988Well, if I did, you should certainly relieve me of the necessity, should you not?
33988Well?
33988Well?
33988Well?
33988Well?
33988Well?
33988Well?
33988Well?
33988Were they of the past, or of the future? 33988 What about amusing other people sometimes-- by way of change?"
33988What are your numbers now?
33988What can this rabble teach us?
33988What could he do to either of us? 33988 What did she say?"
33988What do you mean?
33988What do you mean?
33988What do you mean?
33988What do you want?
33988What does this mean?
33988What evil fate kept him alive all that time?
33988What is it I want?
33988What is it you want, gaffer?
33988What is it, dear?
33988What is it?
33988What is it?
33988What is it?
33988What is the good of it? 33988 What is the name of that ruin?"
33988What is wrong with you?
33988What is your motive, if it be not curiosity?
33988What of it?
33988What then?
33988What was it, Lumley?
33988What will become of me afterward?
33988What will become of us?
33988What, here? 33988 When is the next?"
33988When shall I remember things?
33988When, and where?
33988Where is Gracie?
33988Where is Mademoiselle Cartuccio? 33988 Where is she?"
33988Who are you? 33988 Who dares to lay hands upon me?
33988Who is she?
33988Who is there?
33988Who was Ulric?
33988Whose else should be so interesting as your own?
33988Whose past? 33988 Why do n''t you ask her if she knows anything about him, or where he is?
33988Why do you ask me such a question?
33988Why not inland, Eleanor?
33988Why not? 33988 Why not?
33988Why not?
33988Why not?
33988Why should I not tell the truth when there is nothing to be gained by telling a falsehood?
33988Why should I? 33988 Why should I?"
33988Why should you mention it? 33988 Why were you anxious; what about?"
33988Why would you not let poor Leonardo come with us?
33988Why, what can have happened to me? 33988 Why?"
33988Will not another time do, Leonardo?
33988Will you come down into the drawing room to- night?
33988Will you come this way?
33988Will you forgive me?
33988Will you please tell me something?
33988Will you tell Margharita that this was best?
33988Will you tell us the history?
33988With Gracie?
33988Wo n''t you answer my question first?
33988Wo n''t you give me a little of your confidence?
33988Would it be a great trouble to you if-- some day-- I asked you to receive her as a daughter?
33988Yes; what about it?
33988You administered your Indian drug?
33988You are a Christian?
33988You are an Italian?
33988You are going to attempt the operation, or you want me to?
33988You are going to marry him?
33988You are not hurt, I trust?
33988You are not hurt?
33988You are sure that your mother will not mind-- that she approves?
33988You believe, at least, in the eternity of human life? 33988 You do n''t imagine that we should let you go and leave us here?"
33988You do n''t live here, do you?
33988You do n''t mean that?
33988You have been to them? 33988 You have found a subject?"
33988You have lived in England for long, then?
33988You have met Lumley before, then?
33988You have not changed your mind?
33988You have not-- spoken to her?
33988You have told her what?
33988You love him?
33988You loved her mother, then?
33988You recommend it? 33988 You remember the duel which the Count di Marioni sought to force upon your father, but which I prevented?
33988You see this field, sir?
33988You thought of no one but your mother?
33988You will help me? 33988 You will-- go?"
33988You wo n''t be long, will you?
33988You wo n''t tell me, then?
33988You would not prefer the yacht?
33988You-- you mean this, Lumley?
33988Your entrance is a little unceremonious, is it not? 33988 Your mother, the Countess of St. Maurice, told you all this?
33988Your mother, then, married Martin Briscoe?
33988Your name?
33988Adrienne, do you remember my words on the sands at Palermo?"
33988After all, why should he doubt for a moment?
33988Am I going to be mad?"
33988Am I more happy or more miserable, I wonder, since he has spoken those words which seem to be ever ringing in my ears?
33988Am I not big enough to protect myself, and take care of you?
33988Am I not your guardian?"
33988And if so, what of our vengeance?
33988And now you live-- with whom do you live, child?"
33988And what have you or I to do with them?"
33988Anything wrong downstairs?
33988Are you cold, love?"
33988But how can it?
33988But surely you do not blame me?
33988But tell me this-- Is he an Englishman?
33988But what matter is that, since it can not be you?
33988But what was the carriage doing here?"
33988But you will have soon?
33988But, uncle, you are ill. What is it?"
33988But-- but where was he?
33988By the bye,"she added, a little shyly,"is there not something which you have forgotten?"
33988CHAPTER XVII THE RETURN TO REASON"Where am I, Margharita?"
33988CHAPTER XXII LORD LUMLEY''S CONFESSION"Mother, do n''t you think that Miss Briscoe is a very strange girl?"
33988Ca n''t you feel the sting of the Iceland snows?"
33988Can you wonder at my start, and that I fainted?
33988Can you wonder that I sit here, after a sleepless night, with eyes that are dim and a heart that has become a stone?
33988Did I disturb you?"
33988Did I really try to prevent him?
33988Did she know that I was following her?"
33988Did she see me, too?
33988Did you, Adrienne?"
33988Did you-- did you mean-- everything you said?
33988Do I come of a race who are content to stand calmly by and see the woman they love stolen away by strangers?
33988Do I look it?"
33988Do you despise me, uncle?
33988Do you grudge me this thing?
33988Do you hesitate?"
33988Do you know any of Swinburne''s''Salt Marshes''?"
33988Do you know that we had an adventure on the way home?"
33988Do you like sailing?
33988Do you mean that the young lady was really Margharita?"
33988Do you owe no duty to the grandeur of our race?
33988Do you think that he can love as I do?
33988Do you think that she quite understands that you would like her to come down with us?"
33988Do you think that, after what I have risked, after what I have suffered, that I shall stand aside, and see another man, an alien, take her from me?
33988Do you wonder that this flat country, with its strange twilight effects, should have laid hold of him so powerfully?"
33988Does he know how handsome he is, I wonder?
33988Does my face remind her of the past, I wonder?
33988Does she not remind you of him?"
33988Does she remember it, I wonder?
33988Got any''baccy, St. Maurice?
33988Had he run off with some one else''s wife, or was he in debt?
33988Had it not been proclaimed that the imprisonment was for life?
33988Had it seemed so to me before?
33988Has he gone away?"
33988Has she any idea?"
33988Has there never been a moment in your life when a sense of unreality has seized you?
33988Have I been ill for long?
33988Have I been mad?
33988Have I not begged you often to accept the only answer I could ever give you?
33988Have I not read it in your face, and in your eyes?
33988Have you the clothes she arrived in?"
33988Here in this room?"
33988How can you tell whether I should be suitable-- even if I were willing?"
33988How could he endure to live here, seeing her day by day for a brief while, without making her acquaintance?
33988How do you manage it?"
33988How long have you been here?"
33988How many of the black- guards are there?"
33988How was he to know her?
33988How was she to know anything of that little packet which seemed to be burning a hole in my heart?
33988I am like her, am I not?"
33988I faltered,"will you come to me?
33988I had no thought of it"Frightened?"
33988I just want to know why you have altered your manner to me; why we can not be friends?
33988I say to myself, what shall I get for my pains, and for the risk I run?
33988I suppose,"he added, struggling to keep the anxiety out of his tone,"there is no doubt about the failure of it?"
33988I tell you what, Adrienne, why should n''t I go and see him when I am in London next week?"
33988I trust that your ladyship does not think my interference officious?"
33988I want to know whether it inconveniences you in any way-- whether your mother or any one else might think it strange?"
33988If anything of our religion be true, would death be so terrible a thing?
33988If he held it a moment longer, and a little more firmly than was absolutely necessary, was he much to blame?
33988If indeed we were on the threshold of eternity, what had I to hope from God?
33988In what condition is he?"
33988Is all clear to you, Pietro?"
33988Is it a man or a woman, I wonder?"
33988Is it anything to do with my profession?"
33988Is it my fault that I love him, and not you?
33988Is it not clear what I want?
33988Is it not so?
33988Is it not that he has an admiration for Mademoiselle Cartuccio, the singer?
33988Is it you, a daughter of the Marionis, who can speak so calmly of bringing this disgrace upon our name?
33988Is n''t she supposed to be rather a beauty?"
33988Is n''t that a little unfair to her?
33988Is not that enough to set your fears at rest?"
33988Is there any fear of my going mad?"
33988Is there-- any one else?"
33988Is this what you call love?
33988It is of the events which have followed that night that I desire to speak, if you, Signor, will grant me a few moments of your time?"
33988It is perhaps also true that he is a trader?"
33988It is settled, is it not?"
33988It really is n''t my fault, is it?"
33988It was an awful thing, yet what could he do?
33988It was not at all what I intended; but what can I do?
33988Lady St. Maurice, will you not tell him so for me?
33988Lumley, you have said nothing to her?"
33988Margharita, how is that?
33988Maurice?"
33988May I ask whether you are proficient with your weapon?"
33988May I come and see your patient to- morrow?"
33988May I now ask you a question, sir?"
33988May I stay?"
33988May she not gain heaven?
33988Might not all this be necessary-- a form of disguise-- a clever mode of concealment?
33988No one who could trace you here?"
33988Oh, you will help me?
33988Only----""Well?"
33988Professor, will you send your servant for a carriage?
33988See?"
33988Shall I call her?
33988Shall I ever see another, I wonder?
33988Shall I tell you, Margharita, what this thing was?"
33988Shall we take you up?"
33988Shall you be ready by then?"
33988Shall you like it, do you think?"
33988Shall you not be there?"
33988She desires our marriage?
33988She is conscious, and physically unhurt""The memory?"
33988She is engaged to marry Martin Briscoe, is n''t she?"
33988She knows what you are asking me?"
33988She was my mother''s friend then?"
33988Should I be able to hold out against him?
33988Should I have an opportunity to commit my crime that night?
33988Should I not have rejoiced?
33988Soon, very soon?"
33988Supposing there be a heaven, if we kill her for her treachery to you will not that sin be wiped out?
33988Tell me that it is so?"
33988Tell me that you fought him?"
33988Tell me, is this not so?"
33988Tell me, should I have stepped aside, and let him win her, without a blow?"
33988Tell me, was there any one else?"
33988The body rots; the spirit passes-- where?"
33988The carriage and mules and men?"
33988The moment has arrived?"
33988The notice is sufficient?"
33988The whole thing took time; but what matter?
33988Then are you not the fortunate possessor of that delightful little yacht in the harbor?"
33988There is nothing to fear, and have we not Giovanni?"
33988There, that is being frank, is it not?
33988They spoke as though-- I was to go and stay with them-- but----""Well?"
33988This duel is not of your seeking?"
33988Was I dreaming, child, or were you indeed assenting to the embrace of the man whose arms were surely around you?
33988Was ever a hate forgotten, or an oath broken?
33988Was he going mad?
33988Was it a nightmare, the prelude to a fever?
33988Was it a sin?
33988Was it a storm about to burst upon her?
33988Was it an answer to her prayer, she wondered-- her prayer for peace and forgiveness?
33988Was it not I who had driven her son out into this danger?
33988Was it possible that he had made a mistake in the address?
33988Was it some mocking trick of the storm-- that voice in my ears, that dear, dear voice?
33988Was it this afternoon?"
33988Was my love turning the whole world upside down?
33988Was not that fair?"
33988Was she not in trouble greater than any I could bring upon her, and, indeed, had I not had a hand in it?
33988Was she not more to him than to any of them?
33988Was she wondering whether the presence of a Marioni in her house boded ill- fortune to herself and those who were dear to her?
33988Was there no other?"
33988Was this madness come at last?
33988We would never live in this country, would we?
33988Well, I thought at first of refusing it altogether, but what was the use of that?
33988Were not the fates themselves fighting against me in my task?
33988Were there no servants to announce you, or to bring me word of your presence?
33988What are you doing here?"
33988What connection can there be between the mind of the girl of a month ago and the woman of a month to come?"
33988What could I do?"
33988What did it all mean?
33988What did it all mean?
33988What do you want to go publishing her to the world at all for?
33988What do you want with me?
33988What does it matter when first I cared for you?
33988What else is there to do?"
33988What had kept this frail old man alive?"
33988What had these things to do with her?
33988What has happened to your nerves?"
33988What hope was there?
33988What if it should be death?
33988What is there you can find to say to me, while our great purpose remains thus in abeyance?
33988What meant this unsympathetic silence, this lack of enthusiasm?
33988What need had they of words?
33988What of him?"
33988What right had I to make him share my fate?
33988What right had nature to put forth all her sweet sights and perfumes, to be so peaceful and joyous, while man, her master, could feel such agony?
33988What use would it have been to us?"
33988What use?
33988What vengeance could be sweeter to the heart of that desolate old man than the death of her son-- her only son?
33988What was it?
33988What was life to me, a pledged murderess?
33988What was that scratched upon the whitewashed walls?
33988What was the meaning of it?
33988What will she suffer?
33988What would you advise me to do, Geoffrey?"
33988When?"
33988Whence did I get the strength to look into those deep blue eyes, burning with passion, and mock at him?
33988Where did I come from?
33988Where have I heard it before?
33988Where have you lived all your life that you know nothing of these things?"
33988Where is she?"
33988Where is the Englishman who likes to be thanked?
33988Where was he now?
33988Where were the outstretched hands, the deep solemn oaths, the cry for lots to be drawn, which he had confidently expected?
33988Where?
33988Where?"
33988Which would Adrienne prefer?
33988Who am I?
33988Who has a better right, I should like to know?"
33988Who is your favorite author?"
33988Who the devil''s that?"
33988Who was he?"
33988Why am I here?
33988Why am I here?"
33988Why did he come, almost on the day of his release, here to England?
33988Why do you ask me?"
33988Why do you not speak to me?"
33988Why is it?"
33988Why is it?"
33988Why on earth do n''t you keep her quietly to yourself here instead of sending her to her mother?
33988Why on earth should I?
33988Why should I be a hypocrite?
33988Why should I try to recall his words?
33988Why should he look at him so intently?
33988Why should he not?
33988Why should it?"
33988Why should you be angry?
33988Why should you be so sure of dying just as the vengeance which is your due becomes yours?
33988Why should you seek to do that which will make us enemies for ever?
33988Why should you seek to murder the man whom I do love, and make me miserable for ever?"
33988Why should you tremble so?
33988Will he be there?"
33988Will you accept this?"
33988Will you allow me to pass?"
33988Will you come for a sail?"
33988Will you come this way?"
33988Will you go away at once, please?
33988Will you hear it now, or shall I wait and lay it before the meeting to- night?"
33988Will you not come to my house for the night?"
33988Will you not speak to me?"
33988Will you promise to reply to it?"
33988Will you remember that you are my sister, and grant me a great one now?"
33988Will you show me to the Count''s rooms, if you please?"
33988Will you spare me a few moments alone?
33988Will you speak to her?"
33988Will you tell me, please, Miss Briscoe?"
33988Would he find it an easy task, I wonder?
33988Would it have made any difference, I wonder, if he had known of my being there; if he could have seen my poor, sad, tear- stained face?
33988Would not such a death be a thousand times better?
33988Would this new development hinder his purpose, or was it favorable to him?
33988Yet what could he do?
33988Yet you still have meetings?"
33988You ai n''t taxes, are you?"
33988You are not angry with me, Geoffrey?"
33988You are not well?"
33988You care for this Englishman?"
33988You do care for a me a little, do n''t you?"
33988You do n''t mind, do you?
33988You have no fault to find with her in any way?"
33988You hear me, do you not?
33988You remember it?"
33988You will ask me: Who am I that I dare to fix a limit to an existence which God alone controls?
33988You will be prepared?
33988You will let me see you home?"
33988You will remember this?"
33988You would not have him killed here before my eyes?
33988You, my little sister Margharita, the proud- spirited girl who used to share in my ambitions, and to whom our name was as dear as to myself?"
33988he cried,"have you ever heard the story of my seizure and imprisonment?
33988how was I to know that any one else cared?"
33988is it really you?"
33988those fools who write about a woman''s love-- what do they know about it?
33988what do you want?"
33988what was that?
33988what''s the matter with you?
33988why should love, like men in drinking songs, Spice his fair banquet with the dust of earth?''
33392About the time we both get pinched it may be up to you to----"Tell the truth?
33392Acting a moving picture or----"Mr. Boller, may I trouble you to keep out of this for a little?
33392Ah?
33392All last night?
33392And Mr. Boller will remain with us?
33392And can you give me an idea of the hour?
33392And did it come back?
33392And go out in them in_ daylight_?
33392And have you a profession?
33392And he was murdered in the apartment of_ Anthony Fry_?
33392And he will be back-- when?
33392And if I''m recognized?
33392And if we call him off, then we''ll find Bee and tell her the truth, too?
33392And in rather humble circumstances, perhaps?
33392And now will you get her box out of here, you? 33392 And she''s there now?"
33392And that''s why I''ll have to go now and explain to him and think it all over and----"Why think it over?
33392And the burglar is supposed to have gone in there?
33392And the mere fact that a train of thought, only slightly unusual, has entered your evening, has upset your whole being, has n''t it? 33392 And then we''ll go home, Pudgy?"
33392And whether he does or not, what do you think you''re doing?
33392And why did you lose some sleep last night?
33392And you know and I know that what remains of him is still here, and----"Are you accusing me of murder?
33392And you, instantly, are going to take the trunk, with me in it, to my home-- you know where that is? 33392 And your son, where is he supposed to be?"
33392Anthony Fry,_ where is David Prentiss_?
33392Are n''t you going to send the youngster after her?
33392Are they out of hearing?
33392Are you a plain nut?
33392Are you actually going to keep the youngster here against his will?
33392Are you going to keep that little rat here and argue with him till he admits that he recognizes whatever opportunity you''re going to thrust at him?
33392Are you going to let him-- er-- know?
33392Are you quite sure it was this window, officer?
33392Are you ready?
33392Are you-- here, too, Robert?
33392As for my getting into my own clothes, what else was there to do? 33392 As to breakfast, sir?"
33392At least,said he,"you have perfected the story, have n''t you?"
33392At some mechanical line?
33392Beg pardon, sir?
33392But are you quite sure that you did n''t imagine it?
33392But as to----"Where''s my cap and coat?
33392But the Frenchwoman?
33392But the boy is distracted and----"About me?
33392But what did she ever do for me, to let her confounded reputation wreck my life? 33392 But you have an hour to invest, perhaps?"
33392But you''re working, of course?
33392But----"How can I do it?
33392Ca n''t you see me peaceful, without trying to smash it by babbling a lot of rot like that?
33392Ca n''t you start?
33392Can he do it?
33392Can she speak English?
33392Can you open it a little more?
33392Could n''t you possibly forget yourself for a moment and tell me how you plan to get me out of here? 33392 D''ye see?
33392D''ye see?
33392Dad,she said very quietly,"have I ever told you a lie?"
33392David Prentiss, eh?
33392David,said he,"will you be seated long enough to hear a little poem?"
33392Did I hear him talking about that wretched fight last night?
33392Did any one-- seem to notice when we left?
33392Did n''t she find her?
33392Did the young man wear from this apartment the clothes he wore into this apartment?
33392Did you dismiss it?
33392Did you have it before you talked to Wilkins, there?
33392Did you hear that, David?
33392Did you really?
33392Did your man take my coffee away?
33392Do n''t you smell it?
33392Do n''t you want to be a man?
33392Do you mean that I brought this woman here deliberately? 33392 Do you suppose I want him to come wandering down this way and_ find me_?"
33392Do you wish to save the other two?
33392Does that mean that you''re going to keep me here, whether I want to stay or not?
33392Eh? 33392 Eh?
33392Eh? 33392 Eh?"
33392Eh?
33392Eh?
33392Eh?
33392Eh?
33392Eh?
33392Eh?
33392Eh?
33392Eh?
33392Eh?
33392Eh?
33392Eh?
33392From the dumbwaiter where----"What dumbwaiter?
33392From what point?
33392Fry,he said,"what did that girl_ see_, evidently at the end of the corridor, which produced that outburst of grief?"
33392Fry?
33392Go to the side door and take in the trunk, through the yard, of course, and say it is for Felice-- Felice Moreau, my maid? 33392 Goes-- where?"
33392Going to keep this kid with you?
33392Got his togs, did you?
33392Got the trouble all smoothed over, eh?
33392Had n''t you better make the best of those two minutes?
33392Has n''t it, though? 33392 Have you noticed how packed the house is to- night?"
33392Have you quite assimilated the full meaning of that little poem, David?
33392He must have been roaming the place quite a bit, to have found them, and----"What were you trying to do, David?
33392He was there?
33392He will not do that, because----"How do you know whether he will or not?
33392He''s had several chances, has n''t he?
33392He----"Is it possible to get Hillcombe on the long distance?
33392Help you-- how?
33392Her?
33392Hey?
33392His heart''s in pretty bad shape, is n''t it?
33392Home?
33392How about schooling, David? 33392 How are you going to stop it?"
33392How are you, David-- pretty athletic?
33392How could you leave our home, Pudgy- wudgy?
33392How does she come to be here?
33392How many pair of pajamas did Wilkins give this kid?
33392How the dickens should I know?
33392How?
33392Huh?
33392Huh?
33392Huh?
33392I do n''t understand?
33392I have no idea of mentioning your existence, far less of----"Did your man say_ Robert_ Vining?
33392I mean, you do n''t want any one murdered, or anything of that kind?
33392I protest----"Do you really?
33392I suppose we can have a few minutes''chat?
33392I trust you''re quite comfortable, miss?
33392I was right, eh?
33392I will have Wilkins bring you your clothes, and as soon as you are dressed we will----"You mean those men''s clothes?
33392I''d better go?
33392I''ve never cared very much for you, Mr. Fry, but-- oh, why did you do that? 33392 I-- who uses perfume around here?"
33392If I might make so bold as to suggest it, miss,he said,"why not say that the trunk comes from-- well, the cousin of this Felice, perhaps?
33392In just what line, then?
33392In the name of heaven, why not?
33392Is he gone now?
33392Is he gone? 33392 Is he really suffering?"
33392Is it? 33392 Is it?"
33392Is n''t he a darling?
33392Is n''t it perfectly ridiculous?
33392Is n''t she, though?
33392Is n''t that funny?
33392Is n''t your mind made up now?
33392Is that possible?
33392Is that the Robert Vining of Vining& Dale, lawyers, in Wall Street?
33392Is that your first name or your last name?
33392Is there anything more important?
33392Is there going to be a fight here?
33392It is n''t possible that you know him?
33392It was one grand lemon, Anthony, was it not?
33392It''s pretty awful, is n''t it?
33392Johnson, could we get hold of a boy somewhere and bribe him?
33392Johnson, turn intelligent for a moment, will you?
33392Keep me here?
33392Keep me-- here?
33392Listen to what?
33392Made a study of it, eh?
33392Mary Dalton''s father?
33392Mary what?
33392Mary--_my Mary_? 33392 May I go to father now?"
33392May I speak to you a little more?
33392May I-- may I fix my hair?
33392Maybe that cop was n''t the idiot he seemed, eh?
33392Me get into those?
33392Meaning?
33392My boy-- my Dicky went home with that man?
33392My share?
33392No bad news, old chap?
33392No more of it-- do you understand? 33392 No way of shutting up this room, Fry?"
33392No, I have n''t any profession?
33392No?
33392None, eh?
33392Not a bad term for her, eh?
33392Not the Vermont branch?
33392Now quiet down, will you, and let us think how----"Have you decided how to get me out of here?
33392On the level,he said,"are you going to keep this kid imprisoned here?"
33392Out?
33392Picked off a live one, did n''t you, Anthony?
33392Prentiss, eh?
33392Pudgy- wudgy, can you ever forgive me?
33392Pull a knife on you, Wilkins?
33392Quite a little boxer, kid, are n''t you?
33392Quite?
33392Rather clever, that, eh?
33392Really decided to grip the opportunity, eh?
33392Really?
33392Really?
33392Right down there-- see? 33392 Say, what''s the matter with you, Hitchin?"
33392Several? 33392 Shall I show you why it were better for you to answer, Fry?"
33392She is there now and----"What town?
33392She''s all right; she''s acting according to her own lights, is n''t she? 33392 Showed you what?"
33392So here''s the little old Hotel Lasande where Mr. Fry lives,Mr. Boller finished cheerfully,"and where shall I tell the man to set you down, kid?"
33392So that''s what happened?
33392So you are really rejecting opportunity at the first knock, eh?
33392So you''re going to marry her?
33392So you''ve discovered that?
33392Stand up here?
33392Staying with you, eh?
33392Stick you and me in jail?
33392Tell me what?
33392That I was a girl?
33392That does n''t mean that you''re crazy enough to-- to try divorcing me?
33392That he brought the woman here?
33392That''s a promise?
33392That''s what puzzles us; how did you get him to the city?
33392That, in itself, means a very great deal, does it not?
33392The liniment Fry?
33392The little blonde?
33392The young lady is a friend of yours, too?
33392The-- er-- means of getting you out?
33392The-- the boy was a girl?
33392Then where is Mary? 33392 Then, without wasting any more time, would n''t it be as well to decide just what we are going to do?"
33392Then-- how old are you?
33392There was nothing to cause her acute grief?
33392There was with you a young man named David Prentiss?
33392This-- this woman is a friend of yours?
33392To Bob Vining?
33392To do what?
33392To do?
33392To tell me that you''ve changed your mind, little pigeon?
33392Trunk for the master?
33392Trying?
33392Unfortunate, is n''t it, that you did n''t pick some poor drab from the streets?
33392WHAT?
33392Wait for what?
33392Was he excited while he was here?
33392Was there anything else to do?
33392Was there-- nobody else?
33392Well, David-- er, Hitchin, how are you? 33392 Well, Fry?"
33392Well, are you afraid of sitting there?
33392Well, did you ever see the like of it? 33392 Well, has this mollycoddle stuff in the air infected you, too?"
33392Well, is she out of this flat?
33392Well, what about you?
33392Well, what do you want to become? 33392 Well, what in the name of common sense is the matter with you?"
33392Well, what,Johnson Boller muttered audibly,"do you know about that?"
33392Well-- of course?
33392Well? 33392 Well?
33392Well?
33392Well?
33392Well?
33392Well?
33392Well?
33392Well?
33392Well?
33392Well?
33392What an absolutely merciless thing----"Huh? 33392 What are you talking about?"
33392What d''ye mean? 33392 What d''ye think that paint''s made of-- steel?"
33392What did you say? 33392 What did you say?"
33392What did?
33392What do your confounded sensations matter, anyway? 33392 What do_ you_ say?"
33392What does that mean?
33392What experiment?
33392What for?
33392What for?
33392What for?
33392What has it to do with getting me out of here?
33392What if you do n''t get your coat?
33392What is it?
33392What is?
33392What now?
33392What of it?
33392What of them, sir?
33392What on earth does that mean?
33392What shall I do with them? 33392 What the devil do you want here, if it is n''t about my daughter?"
33392What under the sun''s the matter with you?
33392What was it that time?
33392What was it?
33392What were you trying to do?
33392What woman was in this apartment last night?
33392What''d he do?
33392What''s the answer?
33392What''s the idea?
33392What''s the kid wearing in bed there?
33392What''s the matter with that man?
33392What''s the matter? 33392 What''s the mystery?"
33392What''s wrong?
33392What''s wrong?
33392What-- what do you say?
33392What? 33392 What?
33392What? 33392 What?
33392What? 33392 What?
33392What? 33392 What?
33392What? 33392 What?"
33392What?
33392What?
33392What?
33392What?
33392What?
33392What?
33392What?
33392What?
33392What?
33392What?
33392What?
33392What?
33392What?
33392What?
33392What?
33392What?
33392Whatever is wrong, Wilkins?
33392When did he go?
33392When? 33392 When?"
33392When?
33392Where are we now?
33392Where did you get them?
33392Where did you get those clothes?
33392Where have you thrown them?
33392Where is she now?
33392Where is she now?
33392Where is she?
33392Where shall I find her? 33392 Where to?"
33392Where was Johnson Boller all this time?
33392Where will that be, and where will I find the young woman herself?
33392Where''d she go?
33392Where''s breakfast?
33392Where''s my hat? 33392 Where''s the light- switch in there?"
33392Which is your room, pigeon- boy?
33392While all this talk of reputations is going on,said Mary,"what about mine?"
33392Who are you?
33392Who is the woman?
33392Who was she?
33392Who was the Gallic chicken, my lad?
33392Who was the squab, kid?
33392Who would n''t, when you were talking that way about opportunity and insisting that I stay here and all that sort of thing?
33392Who''s the party with the big specs and why the prolonged stare?
33392Who''s using perfume around here?
33392Why are you not yourself this morning, Fry?
33392Why did he have to come here? 33392 Why not as your sister?"
33392Why not now?
33392Why not?
33392Why not?
33392Why on earth should n''t I answer him?
33392Why was it sent to Felice?
33392Why,he cried thickly,"_ why_ did n''t you tell me?"
33392Why? 33392 Why?"
33392Why?
33392Why?
33392Why?
33392Why?
33392Wilkins must have the girl inside her home by this time and----"Why should you be peaceful and happy when my home''s wrecked?
33392Will you all be seated?
33392Will you be seated?
33392Will you please get out of here? 33392 Will you remember that I said you were going to start trouble?"
33392Will you see him, sir?
33392With what?
33392Would n''t it?
33392Yes, he missed another opportunity then, did n''t he?
33392Yes?
33392Yes?
33392Yes?
33392Yes?
33392Yet-- you''re in that room, I take it? 33392 You answer me: who was the woman?"
33392You are not yourself this morning?
33392You did n''t leave her?
33392You do n''t understand at all, do you? 33392 You even went so far as to run the thing down, so that it would be emptied at once, did n''t you?
33392You have a lot of poetry, have n''t you?
33392You heard?
33392You know her girl friends? 33392 You know her, hey?"
33392You know, I''ve got some reputation as well as you, and-- say, what did you mean by introducing her as my wife?
33392You really believe that?
33392You saved the day-- what are you glowering about?
33392You say-- the wearer of those trousers has been_ murdered_?
33392You see?
33392You went alone to a prize fight?
33392You were saying-- what were you saying about a trunk?
33392You would n''t pull a thing like that on me?
33392You''ll do_ what_?
33392You''ll not lay hands on him?
33392You''ll permit a personal question or two, David?
33392You''re bringing word, sir?
33392You''re not judging from these togs that I''m a criminal, are you?
33392You''re sure she''s there now?
33392You''re very precious of that good name of yours, are n''t you?
33392You''ve heard something from Mary, madam? 33392 You-- excuse me for a moment, Bob?"
33392_ Do n''t!_"Eh? 33392 _ For Felice?_"Dalton echoed.
33392_ Know_ him?
33392_ Me?_Johnson Boller gulped.
33392_ She_--isn''t in there?
33392_ What?_"Her father! 33392 _ What?_"David gasped.
33392_ What?_rasped Mr. Dalton.
33392_ Where is she?_And, her whole mien altering in an instant, Mrs. Boller''s hands clenched tightly and her face flamed with outraged fury.
33392_ Where is she?_Johnson Boller looked around wildly and helplessly.
33392_ Who is she?_And still neither Anthony nor Johnson Boller seemed able to canter up to the situation and carry it of with a blithe laugh.
33392_ You_ do n''t know, eh?
33392_ You_ get away with a thing like that?
33392_ Yours?_Mary cried.
33392A civil engineer?
33392A clergyman?
33392A doctor?
33392A journalist?
33392A lawyer?
33392A mining engineer?
33392A painter?
33392A teacher?
33392An architect?
33392An electrician?
33392And afterward?
33392And for what?
33392And going further-- for he could not help doing that-- what was to be the end of the mess?
33392And here he looked at Anthony and demanded:"Ai n''t we silly?
33392And here his redder- faced companion leaned forward and demanded thickly:"Woddy do ter kid, Joe?
33392And here, from the end of the corridor, Johnson Boller''s deep, carrying voice came:"Has he kicked the kid out yet, Wilkins?"
33392And instead of sneering, Johnson Boller grew redder and redder, until Hitchin said:"Ah, you know all about it, eh?
33392And now Anthony''s deep, kindly voice was addressing him with--"You''ll come home with me for a little while, youngster?"
33392And they struck something, and Johnson Boller was on his feet in the middle of the Circassian chamber, demanding:"What''s that?
33392And what is more, this thing of introducing this girl as my wife is----""Well?
33392Anthony, who was largely nerves this morning, asked:"What the devil are you talking about, anyway?
33392Are you going to do that?"
33392Are you going to have a fit?"
33392Are you sure he is not at home?"
33392Arrest me?"
33392Bee?"
33392But by Heaven, Anthony, I never thought you''d try to break up my family by----""Try to do what?"
33392But where has the young person gone, if you please?"
33392But you go and rake this kid off the streets and when his lady friends come in----Where did she come from, kid, and how did she get up here?"
33392CHAPTER IX Crime?
33392CRIME?
33392Ca n''t you tell me what has happened?"
33392Can you think that, deliberately led up to his third opportunity of becoming a lawyer, A will turn his back for the third time?"
33392Could n''t you spend just five minutes trying to think just what I''m going to tell my people?"
33392D''ye hear?
33392D''ye think I''m the only man in the world that has to suffer?"
33392Did n''t I see you both downstairs?"
33392Did n''t he say something about not sending out anything?"
33392Did you go, too?"
33392Did you hear it, too?"
33392Do n''t you know how to bite off the end?"
33392Do they, David?"
33392Do you hear?
33392Do you mean that I_ knew_?"
33392Do you suppose it would be possible to-- ask his aid?"
33392Do you think of anything plausible, Wilkins?"
33392Do you understand?
33392Do you want to have us killed?"
33392Does n''t she want me?
33392Does n''t take much deduction to guess that they were going to be married with the money you gave him, does it?
33392Does that trunk, to your belief, contain the body of the boy you call Prentiss?"
33392For that matter, could it be anything else?
33392For that matter, why not go down and tell Hitchin the truth and show him what a fool he''s making of himself?
33392Fry, where is David Prentiss?"
33392Fry?"
33392Fry?"
33392Fry?"
33392Further----""What was he doing there?"
33392Get me?
33392Get me?
33392Going to turn him into a man, eh?"
33392Has n''t she tried to send for me?"
33392Has she a female cousin?"
33392Have you gone to all her friends?"
33392Have you grasped that?"
33392Have you the name, Wilkins?"
33392He merely gazed at his old friend until, after a minute or two, Anthony asked:"Well-- what do you think?"
33392He might well enough be wrong, but if wrong he were, why was Wilkins taking the trunk straight into the premises of Theodore Dalton?
33392He went down in the elevator?"
33392He''s got the silver and your stick- pins and rings on him, and-- what the dickens is he wearing?"
33392His mouth opened with a shout of:"Was that midnight?"
33392Hitchin repeated, with a careful survey of David''s well- worn storm- coat; and added, with characteristic bluntness:"Working for you, Fry?"
33392Huh?
33392I mean what, in your decidedly inferior judgment, is his fitness as a subject for experiment?
33392I''ll have to go myself and talk it over with father and-- now if I can have my cap and my coat?"
33392I''ve been wearing it all this time, eh?
33392I''ve got Wilkins as a witness and----""Witness for what?"
33392I''ve got it, you-- you----""Hey?"
33392If I had n''t appeared, her trunk would have been along-- or perhaps it is here now?
33392If he wanted to come here and stay with you, could n''t you have been, just for once--_decent_?"
33392If there are any further questions you wish to ask about my personal affairs, will you please leave them unasked?
33392If we swear her to secrecy, she''ll never talk-- and maybe we could explain it to the girl and have her verify what we say, hey?"
33392Is everything clear?"
33392Is he going to keep him here after all?"
33392Is he gone?"
33392Is it a roll- call?"
33392Is she badly hurt?
33392Is she-- dead?"
33392Is that you, Wilkins?"
33392Is this trunk marked?"
33392It paused in the corridor while Mary drew aside a corner of the curtain and looked in-- and then Mary was with them and asking:"Is he gone?"
33392Johnson Boller with him, he moved to the corner bedroom, to face his old friend with:"Well, what do you think of him?"
33392Johnson Boller would have to get out of here now and-- although why was Johnson Boller smiling so sweetly?
33392Just now, suppose we draw up around the table here, so that it will not be necessary to shout?"
33392Lonely, sweetie?
33392Mary Dalton?"
33392Money?"
33392Mrs. Boller mused,"You think her a very worthy young woman?"
33392Not more than a single second did Dalton look at Hitchin before he barked:"Well?
33392Now can I have my coat?"
33392Now you''ve got a nice scandal on your hands, have n''t you?
33392Now, about your man; is he strong?"
33392Oh, Pudgy- wudgy, was it lonely?"
33392Or why, with a roar of incoherent fury, he aimed a dreadful punch at Anthony himself, standing there quite collected if somewhat paler?
33392Or-- what matter if none of them had, so that Mary had gained the inspiration?
33392Parents living?"
33392Perhaps you''d do that for me, Johnson?"
33392Second after second he gaped before his thick:"Who''s that?"
33392See?
33392Shall I send after it?"
33392She came and she saw what happened, and then----""Well, what had happened?"
33392She had moved in quite cozily, had n''t she?
33392Since there was no one likely to ruin Anthony, the strain had developed the illusion that-- or was it an illusion?
33392So, once more--_where is David Prentiss_?"
33392Some class to that, eh?
33392Tell me, are you quite satisfied to be a plumber''s helper, or was it the only thing you could find in the way of employment?"
33392That son- of- a- gun can have you and me locked up without bail, and--_that''d_ be nice, huh?"
33392That sounds rather well for a name?"
33392The boy started with undue violence and stared at him, drew back a little and even looked Anthony up and down as he said:"Speaking to me?"
33392The boy''s fine teeth showed for a moment as he asked:"Pardon me, but what''s it all about?
33392The girl''s out of the way, so that clears your skirts for a while, but what about Hitchin?
33392There was an accident and she was hurt and-- where is she now?
33392This kid is young and supple, and fit to be whacked into a real man and-- say, get out of here for fifteen minutes, Anthony, will you?"
33392Was it not thinkable that the devilish messes of one or the other had ruined the health of the Prentiss boy?
33392Was there anything else to do?
33392Well, Fry?"
33392Well?
33392Well?"
33392Well?"
33392Well?"
33392Well?"
33392What Dalton?"
33392What did it mean?
33392What did it?"
33392What has happened to her?
33392What if he calls in the police this afternoon?"
33392What in blazes got you that time, Anthony?
33392What is it now?
33392What is it?"
33392What is it?"
33392What more vitally interesting than thrusting opportunity upon such a man, Johnson?"
33392What seems to be the trouble, Hitchin?"
33392What was that?"
33392What were you trying to tell me?
33392What woman came?"
33392What''s the matter?"
33392What''s your name, my lad?"
33392What?"
33392What_ could_ it mean?
33392When you hired her for this job?"
33392Where are they?
33392Where did you get the hat?"
33392Where did you get them?"
33392Where did you get-- these?"
33392Where do you live?"
33392Where is it?"
33392Where is she now?
33392Where is she, madam?
33392Where''s my hat?"
33392Where''s the man who took them?"
33392Whereat Johnson Boller burbled:"Lonely, sugar- plum?
33392Which one?"
33392Which room will it be, now?"
33392Who are you, anyway?"
33392Who, in the calmer afterward, shall explain just how these gunpowder situations develop, grow instantaneously incandescent, and explode?
33392Why do n''t you get out and hustle and see if you ca n''t get track of her?
33392Why do n''t you tell me about it?"
33392Why had none of them thought of a trunk before?
33392Why should a thing like that bust up my home?"
33392Why the devil should n''t Vining suffer, too?
33392Why under the sun should I go home with you?"
33392Why, from the day she was born, Dalton never spared her a penny to----""Eh?
33392Why?"
33392Wide eyes turned and stared at him and there was a distinct note of fright in the voice that said:"What do you mean?
33392Wilkins is your name?"
33392Wilkins used his wits as he fumbled in his pockets and asked:"Your cab, old chap?"
33392Will he know opportunity when she is first set before him or will it be necessary to present her repeatedly?"
33392Would he see it if the bout ran twenty rounds?"
33392Wozzer matter-- huh?
33392Wozzer trouble''th you-- huh?"
33392Yet, all other things apart, what if David''s wig had slipped?
33392You are bringing word of her?"
33392You do n''t drink, David?"
33392You follow me?"
33392You got it out of me, did n''t you?
33392You have no idea of moving from New York, I take it?"
33392You know Theodore Dalton?"
33392You know what that young thug will do to you, do n''t you?"
33392You may meet him a thousand times elsewhere in years to come, and there''s a mean streak in Boller which----""Is there?"
33392You must have met him?
33392You returned home last night about midnight, I think-- fifteen or twenty minutes before the hour?"
33392You understand?"
33392You would n''t care to wait around, Bob?"
33392You''ll come?"
33392You''re too much in love to reason, but-- what about_ me_?"
33392You''re wrong, but-- what is it?"
33392You''ve been through high school?"
33392You''ve breakfasted?"
33392Your ambition is to become--_what_?"
33392Your son?"
33392_ Why?_""There was supposed to be a burglar here.
29877''S all''ite,he repeated with a falling inflection this time, and finished placidly,"You want know''bout lady?"
29877''S all''ite?
29877A bar?
29877A gambler''s chance at stolen money-- is that what you figure on buying, sir? 29877 A-- a stunt?"
29877About a lady who came to see Mr. Gilbert last night,I explained shortly; then,"Who was she, Chung?"
29877About one o''clock, you say?
29877Account books?
29877Action?
29877Ah-- Boyne-- isn''t it?
29877All the rest of the facts there ever will be about Edward Clayte are in that room-- aren''t they?
29877And Worth Gilbert can hang and be damned to him-- is that it?
29877And if she had n''t, do you think she''d let you touch her, Bowman? 29877 And if you had that-- some one?"
29877And is it nothing that this man became a teller in a bank without infringing at all on the circle of his nothingness? 29877 And no one-- not one of all these people could differentiate him?"
29877And now could you tell me what action you took, on this state of affairs?
29877And still you''ve charged Worth Gilbert? 29877 And tell me, girl, how did you get the idea of walking up to the desk at the Gold Nugget and demanding Steve Skeels from the Kite?"
29877And that was the last time you saw Thomas Gilbert alive?
29877And that''s your alibi?
29877And the shot?
29877And they went in on the first of June, 1916?
29877And what in the world are you doing to Barbara?
29877And when did the last''frequent''happen?
29877And you connect Jim Edwards with this crime?
29877And you did n''t go to your father for it last night?
29877And you think half truths are dangerous?
29877And you''ll burn anything, I suppose, that a match''ll set fire to?
29877And you, Edwards?
29877Anything about money?
29877Anything in what Boyne says, Cummings?
29877Anything wrong with Eddie Hughes?
29877Are you the coward to take advantage of his sense of honor?--to let his generosity cost him his life?
29877Ask for me?
29877At the Thornhills''?
29877Barbara, I did n''t mean-- you do n''t understand--But without turning her head, she spoke to me:"Mr. Boyne, will you take Laura and me home?"
29877Barbara,I broke in across their talk,"who was the woman who came here to this place last night?"
29877Barbara,I said,"will you accept my apologies?"
29877Been stepping on tacks, Mister?
29877Been waiting for me long, angel?
29877Better come along?
29877Bill still keeps the old place?
29877Blue eyes you say?
29877Bonding company will hound him, wo n''t they?
29877Boyne,he said impatiently,"what''s the matter with you?
29877Boyne,the president turned quickly to me,"would you mind going over for Captain Gilbert''s benefit what you''ve just said?"
29877Brass rings and lock, I suppose?
29877Break?
29877Bulls after him?
29877But can you--?
29877But did n''t it ever belong here?
29877But the hole in the sash?
29877But this quarrel was more bitter than usual?
29877But what the deuce, Boyne?
29877But where is he now? 29877 But you''ll be back by dinner time?"
29877By Golly-- you see it now yourself, do n''t you, Jerry?
29877By elimination?
29877Ca n''t I help with that?
29877Ca n''t you see? 29877 Can you take dictation?"
29877Corrections?
29877Could he-- the man I''ve described-- come through here-- through this office and neither you nor Louie see him?
29877Cummings, Worth inherits everything under his father''s will; what''s the difference about a small irregularity in taking possession? 29877 Cummings?
29877Dang it all, Mr. Vandeman, if you did n''t want to get mussed up, what made you fight like that?
29877Dark girl?
29877Deduce it?
29877Description?
29877Did I-- do that?
29877Did I?
29877Did she come here-- to the study?
29877Did something happen to you back there, girl? 29877 Did you wire him when you were coming back?"
29877Do I need to?
29877Do n''t you notice that a girl always says a blue- eyed man or a brown- eyed man? 29877 Do n''t you see that does n''t do any good, Ina?
29877Do we go now?
29877Do you need to?
29877Do you think I''d have let you on the inside of this case if I''d known it was a pipe line direct to Dykeman?
29877Do you think Worth Gilbert would put me on the track of a man he did n''t want found?
29877Do you think it will?
29877Do you think the little girl will really be of any use?
29877Do you? 29877 Do-- do you deduce that, Barbara?"
29877Does he hang around here much?
29877Does it matter?
29877Does it matter?
29877Does it? 29877 Does n''t either of you want to hear the answer?"
29877Does n''t it look like Van, Barbie?
29877Does n''t she look the vamp?
29877Does that mean you forbid me, in so many words, to proceed against Hughes on what I''ve got?
29877Edwards,I called to the brown friar,"can you keep these fellows off me for a minute?"
29877Eh? 29877 Eh?"
29877Eight minutes to ten? 29877 Ends?"
29877Every word and part of a word-- every letter?
29877Father still kept Eddie?
29877Fight?
29877Find out here-- right now,and I turned to the man in overalls with,"How about it?"
29877Find that all out to- day in San Francisco?
29877Fired Hughes? 29877 Forced?"
29877Friends of yours?
29877Friends? 29877 From you?"
29877Get it over, ca n''t you?
29877Get the idea, do you, Boyne?
29877Girls? 29877 Gone-- stolen?"
29877Got the key?
29877Guessed at it?
29877Had n''t heard?
29877Has he had it for as long as four years?
29877He did follow me, then? 29877 He let himself go to Steve Skeels-- won''t that do you?"
29877He lived here-- years, you say?
29877He married our Sarah, you know-- was that before you went away? 29877 He must have friends?"
29877Heh?
29877Hello-- what''s this?
29877House mousy, or field mousy?
29877How about publicity, if this goes?
29877How about this one? 29877 How big a guy?"
29877How could I?
29877How could she grow up to be like this-- a child that was n''t allowed any childhood? 29877 How did he brush his hair?"
29877How did you know it was_ this_ window?
29877How did you know this was the room?
29877How do you get the date so pat?
29877How do you get the exact minute Clayte arrived?
29877How do you know all this?
29877How do you know?
29877How does it look for recovering the money, Boyne?
29877How is she? 29877 How long ago was this building reroofed?"
29877How long ahead should you say he planned it?
29877How long do you think it might have been planned or prepared for? 29877 How long you work this place?"
29877How many shots?
29877How many times is''frequent,''Pete?
29877How much of this are these ladies to stand for?
29877How much--?
29877How much?
29877How should I know?
29877How was he tucked up?
29877How was that?
29877Huh? 29877 Huh?"
29877I look like hell-- what?
29877I suppose Clayte was bonded-- for what that''s worth?
29877I understand that Captain Gilbert met his engagement with you; was he short of the sum agreed?
29877I work for Dykeman?
29877If a man shoots himself, he''s been shot, has n''t he? 29877 If you think there is anything we should do--?"
29877If-- if you fail you lose a lot of money; was n''t that what you said?
29877In Flanders?
29877In spite of the fact that she was engaged to Worth Gilbert?
29877Information?
29877Is n''t it an exquisite thing, Worth?
29877Is n''t it, Knapp?
29877Is that all Skeet said? 29877 Is that all?
29877Is that usual?
29877Is that what they gave you at the St. Dunstan-- what he was wearing when he came in?
29877Is that-- that stuff in those damnable books?
29877Is-- is Mr. Boyne interested in stunts-- such as I used to do?
29877Just back from the south yourself, are n''t you?
29877Know what time to- day he left here?
29877Ladies?
29877Left last night, you think?
29877Made all the observations you want to, Bobs?
29877Maybe you think Worth Gilbert will sleep well to- night-- in jail?
29877Me? 29877 Me?"
29877Meaning?
29877Midnight?
29877Might be Tim Foley?
29877Miss Wallace,I said sharply,"what''s this Steve Skeels stuff?
29877Mistake? 29877 More?"
29877Mr. Boyne--Vandeman missed the sarcasm--"when I got back to this town to- day, what do you suppose I found?
29877Mr. Boyne,the black eyes came around to me with a flash,"do you suspect me of trying to pay off a spite on Ina Vandeman?"
29877Mr. Boyne-- Mr. Cummings-- who had that done?
29877Mr. Boyne-- are you in there? 29877 Murder?"
29877My sister?
29877Need it?
29877Never saw the man in my life,and again he asked,"What''s the idea?"
29877No associates-- no girl? 29877 No mannerisms?
29877No movement of the sort yet?
29877No stops anywhere?
29877No, but she imitated the voice of a woman who came weeping to get those pages from the diary; and who else would that be? 29877 No?"
29877Not in four years? 29877 Not interested?"
29877Nothing proved?
29877Now why did you run to them? 29877 Now, Mrs. Thornhill,"I said,"aside from those two visits to your daughter''s room, where were you that evening?"
29877Occasionally he did,contradicted Knapp, and the pause continued till I asked,"Any peculiarities of clothing?"
29877Of whom?
29877Oh, Mr. Cummings, did they send you for me? 29877 Oh, does it?"
29877Oh, it was the Brundage clew that took you south?
29877Oh, might he?
29877Oh, that''s where, is it?
29877Oh, the money? 29877 Oh, they accepted his money?"
29877Oh, they knew you there? 29877 Oh, well then, what color was it?
29877Oh, will you?
29877Oh, you threaten me, do you?
29877Only now?
29877Or rather, where have you been?
29877Or would the bank prefer to have them turned over in their present form?
29877Out of the door? 29877 Relatives?"
29877Reroofed?
29877Say,I leaned over toward him,"would n''t it have saved wear and tear if you''d told me at the first that you knew Skeels could n''t be Clayte?"
29877Seat for me?
29877Securities?
29877See here, Bobs; you and I used to be pals, did n''t we?
29877See? 29877 See?
29877Sell you-- the suitcase-- Clayte''s suitcase?
29877So he went back to what he had known of Eddie when he hired him? 29877 So soon?"
29877So the way into the study is through the skylight, Hughes?
29877So you found the body?
29877Some one in there? 29877 Steve?"
29877Suppose a State bank examiner walks in on you Monday?
29877Take dictation:''We offer five hundred dollars--''You authorize that, Worth?"
29877Take_ you_ there? 29877 That''s what you want, is n''t it?"
29877The lady changed her mind while you were across?
29877The last quarrel would seem the bitterest, would n''t it, Jerry?
29877The quarrel between Captain Gilbert and his father d''ye mean?
29877The rest of the bunch?
29877Then he''s been with you a long time?
29877Then it leaks-- we have a run-- and where are you?
29877Then it''s not just a stunt?
29877Then you hated the man?
29877Think he stayed up here till dark?
29877This other woman,I argued, not any too keen on such a job myself,"has n''t she got some man to speak for her?"
29877To be converted--? 29877 Trying''em on?"
29877Two and two are making about three and a half this afternoon, are they?
29877Vandeman, where''s the money?
29877Vandeman-- Bronse-- Vannie-- Who let this fool in here?--Do we throw him out?
29877Want to go along and see me use it?
29877Wanted in, did ya? 29877 Was he always a gambler?"
29877Was it supposed to be a description?
29877Was n''t it cute of him?
29877Was n''t that enough to call you names for?
29877Was that Cummings?
29877Was that it all the time?
29877Was the Saturday suitcase a regular thing?
29877Well, at least you can tell me who are his friends-- his intimates?
29877Well, is n''t it?
29877Well, why not?
29877Well,I grunted,"Barbara deduced the slipping of some bolts to please you once-- why ca n''t she again?"
29877Well-- wasn''t it his?
29877Well?
29877Well?
29877Well?
29877What I want to know is-- how much have you raised?
29877What about this Vandeman chink?
29877What about those library books he carried in the suitcase?
29877What besides this meeting?
29877What d''you mean, strange way? 29877 What did you want?"
29877What do we do now?
29877What do you mean, hounds?
29877What do you say, Gilbert?
29877What do you think''s wrong?
29877What for?
29877What have your own detectives-- those you hired on the side-- to say about it?
29877What if I told you Cummings''engagement was with our friend Dykeman-- only Dykeman does n''t know it yet?
29877What in God''s name for?
29877What is the situation?
29877What kind of a car? 29877 What more do you want?"
29877What of it?
29877What the hell do you want in my room for?
29877What time is it?
29877What was her father? 29877 What was there to do?
29877What would some leaves gone from Mr. Gilbert''s diary four years ago have to do with us here to- day-- or even with his recent death?
29877What would you call this, Worth? 29877 What you got, Cummings?"
29877What you got? 29877 What you talking, Cummings-- an extension?"
29877What''s all this?
29877What''s down there?
29877What''s the big idea?
29877What''s this? 29877 What, then?"
29877What? 29877 What?
29877What? 29877 What?"
29877When did you see him last?
29877When?
29877When?
29877Where are you, Jerry?
29877Where did he spend his time when he was n''t in the bank?
29877Where did you go?
29877Where did you go?
29877Where was your wife from seven to half past nine on the evening of Gilbert''s murder?
29877Where you been all day?
29877Where''d he go?
29877Where''s Foster?
29877Where''s Roberts?
29877Where?
29877Who bought your house, Barbara?
29877Who gave you this description of Steve Skeels? 29877 Who is this-- lady?"
29877Who the devil is it?
29877Who then?
29877Who told them I was here?
29877Who told you?
29877Who would n''t? 29877 Who''s dared to lisp a word like that?
29877Who''s down there?
29877Who''s in there?
29877Whose?
29877Why ca n''t some one go up to my place and get me a decent suit of clothes? 29877 Why did he unmask, then?"
29877Why did n''t the shot bring Chung on the run?
29877Why do n''t you?
29877Why not because of this?
29877Why not? 29877 Why not?
29877Why not?
29877Why should I?
29877Why should n''t I? 29877 Why the devil could n''t you keep me advised of your movements?"
29877Will the Clearing House help you out?
29877Will you open this window for me, please?
29877Will you read me that?
29877Wo n''t you-- this one time-- take orders?
29877Worth--I put it quietly--"what say I go to Santa Ysobel with you?
29877Worth, did you do this?
29877Worth,I asked,"did you see that 1920 volume when you were here last night?"
29877Worth,--had you thought that it might have been happening down here, right at the time we all sat at Tait''s together?
29877Worth?
29877Would he have a big scar on his left cheek?
29877Would n''t help me?
29877Would you like to talk to her?
29877Years? 29877 Yeh,"he assented absently,"she''s good looking-- but where did she learn to dress like that-- and play the game?"
29877Yes,she said softly, with a smile that set two dimples deep in the pink of her cheeks,"was n''t it strange our meeting this way?"
29877You are positive it could n''t be this morning?
29877You been getting a place for Bowman, Cummings?
29877You do n''t recognize him?
29877You failed to locate? 29877 You heard what she said?"
29877You know what''s holding Mr. Cummings here, do n''t you?
29877You mean he''s not in his room?
29877You mean the diaries?
29877You must have seen somebody who could identify or remember you?
29877You people ai n''t classing me with this crook Vandeman, are you? 29877 You quarreled?"
29877You read them and burned them?
29877You say my father removed something he had written?
29877You think I will? 29877 You think so?"
29877You took it south with you-- on your wedding trip?
29877You wanted the Chink, did n''t you, Bill?
29877You''d recognize a picture of Clayte?
29877You''ll do that, wo n''t you, Barbara?
29877You''ll go with us to- morrow morning?
29877You''ve read this all-- carefully?
29877You''ve seen them-- all?
29877You? 29877 Your case?"
29877Your friend calling for you again, Bobs-- by appointment?
29877_ What do you know?_The big voice had come down to a mere whisper.
29877A description of Edward Clayte?
29877A gambler at night, a bank employee by day?
29877A hint of it was in Whipple''s voice as he asked, gravely:"Do you bind yourself to pursue Clayte and bring him, if possible, to justice?"
29877A pause, then, looking around at the four of us,"I get dinner?"
29877A pause, then,"''Skeels arrived here from''Frisco this morning shall I arrest?''"
29877A queer, toneless voice asked,"Worth sent you to me-- a detective-- with this?"
29877After a stunned silence, I asked,"Whose?
29877After profiting by it for five years, he was going to rake that up?"
29877Ai n''t I your husband?"
29877Ai n''t you wise to where Captain Gilbert is?
29877An accomplice?
29877An indecisive slackening of the machine, and Little Pete asked,"Where now, sir?"
29877And I asked uncomfortably,"What''s Barbie done?
29877And I demanded of Ina Vandeman,"You tell us your husband''s present-- in this room?
29877And Skeet drawled innocently,"That it hit too near the truth to be funny-- wasn''t that it?"
29877And heavy- faced Anson asked bluntly,"Who''s to set the price on it?
29877And now, honest to goodness, has n''t Barbie with the plum- blossoms got Ina and her artificial flowers skun a mile?"
29877And the man strolling beside her-- had he come with her from the house, or joined her on the cross- cut path?--could that be Worth Gilbert?
29877And then,"Did you say one lump or two?"
29877And when I continued to stare silently at him, he writhed a shoulder with,"What''s doing?
29877And when there was no reply but a surprised look,"How do you stand now?"
29877And you do n''t want to tip him off-- see?"
29877Anson stopped me at this point,"and the positive knowledge that he had the suitcase with him?"
29877Any word, Worth?"
29877Are you quitting on me?
29877As I plunged for the door I was conscious of his hoarse whisper following me,"What''s Steve done, Jerry?
29877As though her words had suggested it, Worth spoke again,"Where did you meet Cummings?
29877As we began to worm a slow way toward my office, I suggested,"You''ll come upstairs with me, and-- er-- sort of outline a policy?
29877As we headed away for the other end of town, he spoke again, half interrogatively,"Vandeman shot her?"
29877At her protesting expression, he finished,"Or do I call you Ina, still?"
29877At that, what was the best he could do-- or any of them?
29877Barbara, are you just plain perverse?"
29877Before I could connect him with it, he broke in on me,"Is Worth suspected?"
29877Bowman and his wife-- and that man who was just in here-- Jim Edwards?"
29877Bowman came running with the girl''s hat, and,"What about me, Mr. Boyne?
29877Bowman that we met last night at Tait''s-- she was a special friend of your mother''s?"
29877Bowman''s-- as proving an alibi for Worth Gilbert?
29877Bowman-- any connection with him?"
29877Boyne?"
29877Boyne?"
29877Boyne?"
29877Boyne?"
29877Boyne?"
29877Boyne?"
29877Bron told you my experience-- the one that made me break with Worth?"
29877But Clayte, slipping in here to do this murder-- and why?
29877But she was plainly holding back for a further development, her eyes on the entrances; and what the devil was my next move?
29877But suppose there was n''t, how would you find any wonderfulness in a creature as near nothing as this Clayte?"
29877But what if the thing worked another way?
29877But whether she went or not-- Mr. Boyne, you do n''t want us to tell you our speculations and guesses?
29877But would Edwards go in with him-- or was he only along to drive the machine?
29877But you will come over to our table-- for a minute anyhow?
29877Ca n''t you see, Mr. Boyne?
29877Can I take you back in the limousine?"
29877Can he make it?
29877Can you declare to me as executor, where it is?
29877Come on-- what color are his eyes?"
29877Could it be that Barbara had dragged Mrs. Thornhill from her bed?
29877Could that be worked?
29877Covering the transmitter with my hand, I told Worth the situation and asked,"Any suggestions?"
29877Crank on education?"
29877Cummings passed them back with an indifferent,"What''s the idea?"
29877Did Captain Gilbert fail to meet his engagement with you Monday morning?"
29877Did he answer you in person-- from out there?"
29877Did he drop it?"
29877Did he supply an alibi so neatly because of that shadowy head on the door panel?
29877Did he think Mr. Gilbert ought to have left it to him?
29877Did it mean that he''d seen his father and got a calling down?
29877Did n''t he have a girl?"
29877Did she say so?"
29877Did you find that Skeels was Clayte?"
29877Did you phone ahead to see how things was out to the house?"
29877Do n''t you think it''s a good idea?"
29877Do you know what you''re telling me?"
29877Do you think he can make it?"
29877Do you think she was in the room all the time?
29877Doctor Bowman swears--""He?"
29877Does nine o''clock suit you?"
29877Down?
29877Drifters-- you see so many of the sort in a restaurant-- why would n''t they hanker after the strength and ruthlessness of a man like Worth?
29877Dykeman wanted to know about the one hundred and eighty seven thousand odd dollars not covered by Worth''s offer-- did they lose that?
29877Eddie Hughes ought to be on the job out there-- but would he?"
29877Exactly, understand?"
29877Feint?
29877Folks you know well?"
29877Footwork?
29877For the love of Mike, what could such a man intend to do with all that money?"
29877Friends?--could a man have friends who regarded humanity through such unkindly, wide open, all- seeing eyes?
29877From the top of a stepladder, Skeet Thornhill yelled to us,"Where you two going?
29877Get it, Roberts?
29877Get me?"
29877Gilbert?"
29877Got a costume here, have n''t you?"
29877Has Murray got in touch with Foster?"
29877Has n''t he been with you ever since the place was rebuilt after the earthquake?"
29877Has the man you''re trying here to describe anything to do with money-- in large amounts-- financial affairs of importance?"
29877Have n''t I made you understand what happened there at the study?
29877Have you got it?
29877He came straight from there?
29877He caught sight of me, hailed, and when I joined them, asked quickly, glancing toward the drugstore entrance,"Worth come with you?"
29877He did all that?
29877He finished with the abrupt question,"Were you at Santa Ysobel last night?"
29877He fumbled in his pocket with an interrogative look at Whipple, and,"May I smoke in here?"
29877He had made the latter into a separate package, and now looked up at me with,"Want this in here, too, Jerry?"
29877He looked a little startled, and I prompted,"Were you too excited to have noticed a detail like that?"
29877He sat silent, thoughtful, and I added,"Where did you go from Tait''s, Worth?"
29877He stood now, not really grinning at me, but with an amused look under that bristly mustache, and suggested,"So you have n''t seen young Gilbert?"
29877He stopped there, and was so long about getting anything else out that Worth finally suggested,"The money?"
29877He took that with astonishing quietness, and,"Suppose you were shown that she was n''t out of her mother''s house?"
29877He_ did_--or was that yesterday?
29877Her voice was musing; she looked straight ahead of her as she finished softly,"What time do we go?"
29877Hired it for when?"
29877How did you find it?"
29877How did you get here?
29877How did you get wise?"
29877How long is it going to take him?"
29877How long will it take you to get here?"
29877How long would that coroner''s verdict of suicide satisfy the public?
29877How many times did I fire?"
29877How many times had this lad been jilted?
29877How many?"
29877How much time do you want to give to it?"
29877How much?"
29877How soon would some seepage of fact indicate that the death was murder and set the whole town to looking for a murderer?
29877How the hell could I?
29877How would you like that?"
29877How''d you come here?"
29877How''s my friend Steve?"
29877I added, a bit sarcastically,"Or you, Miss Wallace?"
29877I answered a doubtful look,"Did you see his face there in the ball room as he looked up at Barbara Wallace?
29877I answered that question with another,"When did you see or hear from Worth Gilbert last?"
29877I began in exasperation-- hadn''t I just shown the impractical little creature that those locks could n''t be manipulated from outside?
29877I could not deny it when Dykeman yipped at me,"Ai n''t that true?
29877I did n''t share his confidence, but I rather admired it as he finished, poising the tongs,"One lump, or two?"
29877I feel--""Mr. Dykeman,"Barbara turned quietly to her employer,"could we pass out through your room?"
29877I had n''t meant to be offensive with that last, but her firm little chin was in the air as she countered,"Is it a stairway?
29877I had n''t meant to; but after all, what matter?
29877I heard her catch her breath, and Worth scowled at me,"Trance?
29877I jumped to my feet with a brisk,"Girl, where''s your hat?
29877I mean, how many people''s observation of the man does this represent?"
29877I put my back against the door and asked,"Is Bronson Vandeman a fatuous fool; or does he take me for one?"
29877I returned to Miss Wallace, with,"Ready, Barbara?"
29877I skirted the machine and came round to him, demanding,"With whom do you suppose Cummings''engagement was?"
29877I stepped to the door, with,"Fixed the radiator, did you?"
29877I stood there at a loss, and finally said aimlessly,"Your sister thinks it''s all right?"
29877I suppose Captain Gilbert has told you that I phoned him, when I failed to connect with you, that I was coming here-- and what I was coming for?"
29877I suppose it is a question of time when it will be known that Worth came here last night; and when it is known, do you realize what it will mean?"
29877I suppose you raised that money for Worth-- the seventy- two thousand that was lacking, I mean?"
29877I suppose,"stretching up his head to see across his noisy associates,"I suppose, Captain Gilbert, you''ll be retaining Boyne''s agency?
29877I tried every way in the world to get him to be specific about this voice; did it sound like that of a young lady?
29877I turned the situation over and over in my mind, and at last asked cautiously,"Worth did get the money to make up the full amount, did n''t he?"
29877I turned to Worth and asked,"When will Edwards be here?"
29877I turned to congratulate her and at the same instant Worth cried,"What''s the matter, Bobs?"
29877I''ll be at the Little Italy restaurant-- you know, do n''t you?
29877If he did n''t take it, do n''t you think he counted it?"
29877If it was anybody else, would n''t you see the connection?
29877If it''s never recovered?"
29877If more than one woman spoke in that voice-- where would it take me?
29877If she could slip away for it, why not Ina Vandeman?
29877If so, where''d they take him?
29877In a flash, I remembered his words,"putting every damn''word of our row into it,"and I shot straight at him,"Did you take that book, Worth?"
29877In that case, do you give him the publicity he wants?"
29877In the Gold Nugget, Clayte was a very average Gold Nugget guest-- don''t you see?
29877Instead,"Who was it, Worth?"
29877Is it all right to let him know?"
29877Is it gone-- are you sure it is gone?"
29877Is n''t there something I can do?"
29877Is that it?"
29877Is that the idea?"
29877Is that the way you saw it?"
29877Is that what you''ve been wasting your time over, Boyne?
29877Is there a stenographer about?"
29877It was?
29877Just looking at him, old Dykeman rasped, without further provocation,"What''s Captain Gilbert got to do with the private concerns of this bank?"
29877Ladder?
29877Light it, ca n''t you?
29877Make that''arrest or detention,''Got it?"
29877May I go now, Worth?"
29877May I speak to you, please?"
29877Miss Wallace, why do you think a description like that could be shouted on the street without any one being the wiser?"
29877Motive?
29877Mr. Boyne, do you call that a paradox?"
29877Mr. Boyne,"a break in her voice,"am I going to be able to take Ina back with me?
29877No flicker of response from the man, but the Empress of China dragged down her mask, crying,"Heard what she said?
29877No little tricks, such as a twist of the mouth, a mincing step, or a head carried on one side?"
29877No moles, scars or visible marks?"
29877No?"
29877Not the kind of a scrap I care for; in a half light you ca n''t tell friend from foe; but Worth went to it-- and what was there to do but follow?
29877Now yer in, what about it?"
29877Now, d''ye mean?"
29877Now, what do you know about that?
29877Now-- what is it you want to know?"
29877Now?"
29877Oh-- you want Ernestine and Cora?
29877On account of Worth''s engagement with them to- morrow morning?
29877Or did you just faint?"
29877Or have you any recollection?"
29877Or is she-- do they--?"
29877Or would you rather go up to the house?"
29877Orientals are superstitious; but what could the fellow be afraid of in the beautiful young thing, Buddha posed, blossoms in her hair?
29877Parry?
29877Promised Worth, had I?
29877Quarrel?
29877Ready to jump into your car and go around with me to see Dykeman?"
29877Remained so shadowy that neither the president nor cashier can, after eight years''association, tell the color of his hair and eyes?
29877Said Worth got a lot of money when his father died, and I flared up and said what of it?
29877Say I went to him with the story-- and took the cat- hauling he''ll give me-- should I be much better off?"
29877Shall I tell him that in my note, Mr. Boyne?
29877Shall we go there?"
29877She looked around at the four of us, wondering at her, and finished,"Ca n''t they take me home now, doctor?"
29877She was concentrating now; could she stand the strain of it, with its weakening of the heart action, its pumping all the blood to the brain?
29877She''d landed him once; what was to hinder her being successful with the same tactics-- whatever they''d been-- a second time?
29877Should that clue have been followed up before I moved on Eddie Hughes?
29877Skeet regarded the manifestation askance, asking jealously,"When did you see Worth last, Barbie?
29877So he could have sent Eddie to the pen,--eh?
29877Suppose I meet you, say, at ten o''clock to- night?"
29877Take a chance?
29877Talk to you?"
29877That hound Cummings-- chasing around Santa Ysobel with Bowman-- is that where it comes from?
29877That is Worth, ai n''t it?
29877That would n''t be fair, would it?"
29877The bride glanced from one to the other of them, and spoke sharply,"What''s the matter with you two?
29877The light had come from there, but how?
29877The man at the desk looked at me, calling a quick,"Hello, Jerry-- what''s up?"
29877The study''s separate from the house?"
29877Then suddenly,"And why do I tell you that?
29877Then they took the words from Edwards; the tune changed to grumblings of,"What''s the matter with Van?
29877Then, after a long pause,"Oh-- I say-- pardon me, but-- but ought that to have been done?
29877Then, giving his full attention to Worth,"Did you see your father last night?"
29877They were mistrustful enough as Whipple finally questioned,"Is this a bona- fide offer, Captain Gilbert?"
29877They--""Is Bronse Vandeman here?"
29877Things that have happened since the boy''s gone?
29877Told you of it at the time, did n''t I, Jerry?"
29877Vandeman began anxiously, and Skeet took a look around at our faces and fairly wailed,"What is it?
29877Vandeman, you''ve told your wife that Cummings swore to the complaint?"
29877Was n''t that exceeding your orders?
29877Was n''t that queer?
29877Was this one of the things Barbara Wallace had let out to her employer?
29877Was this some more of her deductive reasoning, or had Cummings dropped a hint?
29877We lingered a moment chatting, then,"Shall we go and look at the artists working?"
29877We stood silent a moment, then she looked round at me brightly with,"You''re coming to dinner to- morrow night?
29877We were getting in toward the noise and the light when I felt her shiver, and stopped to say,"Did I forget your coat?
29877We--""Oh, that was why you wanted me to come back with you?"
29877Well, Jerry?"
29877Well, please ma''am, who locked the window after him?"
29877Well, that was reasonable-- simple enough, too; but,"This room?
29877Well-- if this is all, then?"
29877Were those pages stolen?"
29877Whaddye think?"
29877What about him?"
29877What about it, indeed?
29877What are you smiling at, Bobs?"
29877What can I do for you?"
29877What could she have done with a young outlaw like Worth?
29877What d''ye want him for?"
29877What d''yuh want of me?"
29877What did it mean?
29877What do the police say of it?"
29877What do you mean, Boyne?
29877What do you mean, failed to locate?"
29877What do you think they''re doing to Worth in there, Barbie?"
29877What do you think you''re hinting at?"
29877What had she told Cummings?
29877What happened?"
29877What is your idea?
29877What mixed him up with affairs here?
29877What result did you get?"
29877What she wants?"
29877What up to?
29877What was on his chest?
29877What you doin''there?"
29877What you getting at?"
29877What you got?"
29877What you got?"
29877What you trying to put over?"
29877What you up to in here?"
29877What''d you do down south?"
29877What''d you say, Knapp?"
29877What''s it for?"
29877What''s that?"
29877What''s the dope you think you have, and you think I have n''t?
29877What''s the excitement?"
29877What''s the matter?
29877What''s the rush with Dykeman?"
29877What''s the use of whipping the devil round the stump that way?
29877What''s their idea?"
29877What''s this reroofing stuff?
29877What''s this?"
29877What, exactly, had the Van Ness Avenue Bank lost?
29877When it came, it was another startling question,"Did n''t find Skeels in the south, eh?"
29877When?"
29877Where are the others?"
29877Where do you think you are?"
29877Where is it?
29877Where is she?"
29877Where is she?"
29877Where was he?
29877Where''s he?
29877Where''s th''other man?
29877Where?
29877Who else would want them?"
29877Who makes that statement?"
29877Who was she?"
29877Who were his associates?"
29877Who would n''t shadow that crook?
29877Who''s the dark girl?
29877Whose tool was he?
29877Why could n''t he have spoken that way to the girl herself?
29877Why did n''t he?
29877Why did you risk sitting up in that strained pose, wounded as you were, to concentrate?"
29877Why does n''t he settle it one way or another, and be done?"
29877Why had Worth gone to the shed hunting a crowbar to open the door?
29877Why had n''t I remembered then?
29877Why had n''t he taken her home, instead of leaving it to Edwards?
29877Why has n''t he told you so?"
29877Why in blazes did he run so?"
29877Why not Bowman himself?
29877Why not?
29877Why should he phone for you?"
29877Why was n''t he in that office to defend himself against what they''re hinting?"
29877Why was n''t this shift of the enemy a blessing in disguise?
29877Why, where''s your hat?"
29877Why?"
29877Will you hear one now?
29877Will you please see for me?"
29877Worth cut in with,"Do you consider the roof another fact, Bobs?"
29877Worth glanced up from where he was jotting down telephone numbers to drawl,"You know who you''re describing there?"
29877Worth spoke again in a sort of dragging voice,"What do you want to look at them for, Jerry?"
29877Worth''s head poked from his upstairs window as he shouted,"What''s the excitement down there?"
29877Would he miss his appointment?
29877Would it bring Clayte up before any one who had never seen him?
29877Would you say he had it in his head right then to murder you-- or Barbara-- if you came too hot on his trail?"
29877Years?"
29877Yet-- after all, he might have been a member of the gang, though somehow I do n''t get the hunch--""What sort of looking person was this man Skeels?"
29877You could n''t get much idea of the lay of the land when you were down there Wednesday, could you?"
29877You do n''t even know that he did raise it?
29877You do n''t want to play with me-- is that it?"
29877You get me and this medicine up home-- or shall I go around to Capehart''s and have Barbie drive me?"
29877You or us?
29877You saw it when I was showing you the latch, did you?"
29877You see what that means?"
29877You went straight from the restaurant to your room at the Palace and to bed there?"
29877You were n''t still living in Santa Ysobel when he left, were you?"
29877You''re not uneasy about Worth''s callers, are you?"
29877You''re so clear headed about everything else-- don''t you see that that would be impossible?"
29877You''re sure?"
29877You''ve not come through?
29877You''ve not dug up what I sent you after?"
29877Your father''s way of making corrections?"
29877Yuh got to let me--""But if it does n''t work?"
29877airplane or submarine?"
29877an old lady?
29877did he think it was some one he knew well, or only a little?
29877had he been hearing it much lately?
13058A carelessly administered hypodermic injection, was it not, Monsieur le Préfet?
13058A false key, I suppose? 13058 A glass of water?"
13058A kingdom of deserts and swamps? 13058 A warrant for my arrest?"
13058Absurd in appearance, Monsieur le Préfet; but how do we know that M. Fauville''s unheard- of conduct is not explained by very natural reasons? 13058 After all, what he did care?"
13058Ah, it''s the Prefect who wishes, is it?... 13058 Ah, so the orders are revoked?
13058Ah,he murmured, disconcerted by the turn of events and not knowing what to decide,"why, oh, why did they not obey my instructions?
13058Am I asking too much, Monsieur le Préfet?
13058Am I correct in saying that she came from Saint- Etienne and that her maiden name was Roussel?
13058An accomplice?
13058And Don Luis? 13058 And Florence Levasseur, Monsieur le Président?"
13058And Sauverand?
13058And Sergeant Mazeroux?
13058And accustomed, I suppose, to fetch his letters at Alençon post- office?
13058And confessed our love? 13058 And did not the fact of finding that letter in your room strike you as strange?"
13058And do n''t sightseers go walking in the park, in spite of the walls?
13058And do you propose to remain, Monsieur le Préfet?
13058And evidently you are also ignorant of how far they concern you?
13058And have you a warrant?
13058And he engaged you to take him to Nantes?
13058And he was unwell, you say?
13058And he?
13058And his accomplice, the Levasseur girl?
13058And his house?
13058And how did you know it?
13058And how was it,added Don Luis, laughing,"that I found there the list of the five dates corresponding with the delivery of the letters?"
13058And if I betrayed an intention of leaving, to prevent me?
13058And if I give you my word of honour, Monsieur le Président, to return the moment my task is done and give myself up?
13058And if he cuts off by another outlet which we do n''t know of?
13058And if it''s too late?
13058And if the servants come? 13058 And in this case?"
13058And is it done?
13058And is that the man whom Florence Levasseur loved?
13058And is that where you''re going?
13058And of course M. Desmalions had the house cleared?
13058And on what charge?
13058And she was from Saint- Etienne?
13058And suppose he does not come?
13058And suppose he does not come?
13058And that door--?
13058And that he did not go out again?
13058And the drawer was not forced?
13058And the garden, Monsieur le Préfet?
13058And the murderers of Cosmo Mornington and the Fauvilles?
13058And the tigress was tamed?
13058And then,he repeated,"she decided to step in?"
13058And then? 13058 And then?"
13058And then?
13058And then?
13058And there''s no question, is there, of any indiscretion committed in your office?
13058And they led--?
13058And what do they think at the public prosecutor''s? 13058 And what do you think, Chief?"
13058And what is to prove to me that that is so?
13058And what next?
13058And what then? 13058 And what''s on the other two sheets?"
13058And where is he?
13058And why that look of dismay?
13058And why your liberty?
13058And yet why did that sudden change take place in me?
13058And you believe her to be in danger of death?
13058And you checkmated him?
13058And you found them?
13058And you insist on going?
13058And you say he left a letter for me?
13058And you think he has told the Prefect?
13058And you went on?
13058And you, Monsieur le Préfet?
13058And you, Weber?
13058And your attention was not distracted for a moment?
13058And, as they were placed there before the crime, the plot must have been schemed before the murder?
13058And, if I refuse?
13058And, if they arrest you?
13058And, in your view, the criminals are--?
13058And, when you left them, were n''t you curious to see what happened?
13058Any particular place?
13058Anybody? 13058 Are n''t we here, the two of us?
13058Are these gentlemen my escort?
13058Are you in love with her?
13058Are you sure he put nothing else into the glass?
13058Are you sure of that?
13058Are you sure that you did not go out?
13058Are you sure?
13058Are you sure?
13058Are you the only one that can catch him?
13058Are you there? 13058 Are you there?"
13058At any rate, he will act as though he did, wo n''t you, Weber?
13058At half- past seven, eh?
13058At once, of course?
13058At the last minute?
13058At three o''clock exactly?
13058At three o''clock in the morning?
13058At twelve o''clock, therefore?
13058Before knowing which direction they took?
13058Before the murder was committed, therefore?
13058Beyond the possibility of a mistake?
13058Brown patches? 13058 But do you possess all the proofs?"
13058But he changed his mind on the way and told you to put him down?
13058But how could the murderers, coming from the outside, have opened it?
13058But how did she do it?
13058But how did those devils get in?
13058But how did you manage it? 13058 But how?"
13058But is it worth while, Madame? 13058 But look here, Chief, do n''t you read the papers?"
13058But look here, Monsieur, what prompts you to make the accusation? 13058 But she could have spoken herself?"
13058But suppose the police discover your real identity?
13058But that truth is your innocence, is n''t it?
13058But the detectives round the house?
13058But the doctor?
13058But the policemen watching the house outside?
13058But there were several of them?
13058But what about my car?
13058But what do you mean? 13058 But what''s happened?
13058But where are my men?
13058But where, hang it all?
13058But why did that villain want to do away with Florence Levasseur? 13058 But why do n''t you come yourself, Chief?
13058But why do n''t you keep all that by you?
13058But why not?
13058But why? 13058 But you do n''t know--""The address?
13058But, as you have read the papers, you must be aware of the accusations against her?
13058But, perhaps,he continued, more eagerly,"you do not know how deeply I feel it?
13058But, then, where can he be? 13058 But, you stick- in- the- mud of an honest man,"shouted Don Luis, angrily,"if we let this opportunity slip shall we ever find another?"
13058But,said Don Luis,"if there is any one to prove her innocence, why does she begin by opening her veins?"
13058But--"But what?
13058But--?
13058By every means?
13058By what miracle?
13058By what right did those people dare to attack the most blameless of women? 13058 By whom?
13058By whom? 13058 By whom?"
13058By whose orders?
13058Ca n''t you hear the misfiring, you fool?
13058Can I have been mistaken?
13058Can Providence be siding with virtue and righteousness?
13058Can it be possible?
13058Can we see it?
13058Can you explain--?
13058Chief, do you know what you are compelling me to do? 13058 Come, come,"he cried,"I want to know the truth: You''re not certain that the water in this bottle is poisoned?"
13058Consequently, we should have the right at least to suspect the person?
13058Could we speak to the superior?
13058Did n''t he order you to telephone for the commissary of police?
13058Did n''t they tell you? 13058 Did the clue in that volume of Shakespeare mean something else?
13058Did the lady cry out at all?
13058Did you go straight there?
13058Did you let him in?
13058Did you put that there, Alexandre?
13058Did you suspect on the way that they thought that they were being followed?
13058Did your chauffeur drive you?
13058Do n''t you see that our men are getting restive? 13058 Do n''t you understand?
13058Do you believe in that other fare?
13058Do you imagine that Weber will stand on ceremony?
13058Do you know Inspector Vérot?
13058Do you know the lady?
13058Do you know the way to the station, Alexandre?
13058Do you know who she is? 13058 Do you mean Nurse Gertrude, the new one?"
13058Do you understand what that means? 13058 Do you want any particulars of me?"
13058Do you want me to sign you one, idiot?
13058Does he live alone?
13058Does he sleep here, then?
13058Does his evidence bear upon Cosmo Mornington''s heirs?
13058Does it open on the garden?
13058Does it? 13058 Does the law wish to see Florence Levasseur sacrificed as the two others were?
13058Does this cake of chocolate mean anything to you? 13058 Don Luis Perenna, I believe?"
13058Eh, what? 13058 Eh?
13058Eh? 13058 Eh?
13058Eh? 13058 Eh?"
13058Eh?
13058Elizabeth Roussel?
13058Even by putting a bullet through my skin?
13058Florence?
13058Followed? 13058 For what reason?"
13058For what reason?
13058Free?
13058Frightened of what? 13058 Gaston Sauvarand''s niece?
13058Had he money?
13058Had you made up your mind to clear out?
13058Had your husband any brothers or sisters?
13058Half a moment?... 13058 Has he jumped from there?"
13058Has the Prefect placed you at my disposal?
13058Have they deciphered the word Damigni on one of the letters?
13058Have you a medical directory, Monsieur le Préfet?
13058Have you a proof which allows you to suppose that it was opened with false keys?
13058Have you a warrant?
13058Have you collared the scoundrel?
13058Have you drunk any of it? 13058 Have you found his traces?"
13058Have you no brother or sister, Madame?
13058Have you read the article in the_ Echo de France_?
13058Have you searched the house?
13058Have you the apple found in the garden?
13058Have you the warrant?
13058Have you the warrant?
13058Have you their cards?
13058Have you told my men?
13058He does, eh? 13058 He struck me as being in a queer state-- rather ill.""How do you mean?"
13058He''s dead, is n''t he? 13058 Here, to your study?"
13058Hiding?
13058How can she have so fair a face, and eyes of such haunting beauty, so grave, sincere, and almost guileless?
13058How could I have known earlier?
13058How did you get in?
13058How do they know?
13058How do we know? 13058 How do we know?"
13058How do you explain the letters?
13058How do you know, Chief?
13058How do you know? 13058 How do you know?"
13058How do you mean, almost?
13058How do you mean, what''s the good?
13058How do you mean?
13058How is that?
13058How many men do you want, Perenna?
13058How many of you are there?
13058How much?
13058How old is he?
13058How was it possible for such a monster to exist? 13058 How?"
13058How?
13058I will explain everything to- morrow--"Why not to- night?
13058I?
13058If you have important things to tell us, why delay?
13058Impossible? 13058 In any case,"asked the Prefect of Police of Don Luis,"you do not refuse this conditional legacy?"
13058In that case, there''s nothing to be done?
13058In that case--"What?
13058In the Mauretanian Empire which you are giving us?
13058In the street?
13058In the study, sir?
13058In what way?
13058Inspector Vérot?
13058Is Hippolyte dead? 13058 Is Hippolyte dead?"
13058Is Hippolyte dead?
13058Is Mazeroux put into jail?
13058Is he alone?
13058Is he asleep?
13058Is he coming?
13058Is he there now?
13058Is it Florence Levasseur?
13058Is it a double suicide? 13058 Is it not strange?"
13058Is it possible?
13058Is it properly closed?
13058Is it yes, Florence? 13058 Is she dead?"
13058Is she their accomplice even?
13058Is that all?
13058Is that all?
13058Is that you, Alexandre?
13058Is that you, Major? 13058 Is that you, Mazeroux?"
13058Is that you, Perenna?
13058Is the chemist''s near?
13058Is the correspondence in his name?
13058Is the prison governor there?
13058Is this number eight?
13058Is this what you''re looking for, sir?
13058It''s a pretty trick, is n''t it? 13058 It''s she, do you hear, Mazeroux?
13058Listen to me: you wrote on a memorandum pad three letters which seem to form the syllable Fau.... Am I right? 13058 Look here, is it for me that you and your men are hanging about outside my house?"
13058Marie Fauville?
13058May I look at the two things you have mentioned, Monsieur le Préfet?
13058Mazeroux my accomplice? 13058 Maître Lepertuis,"Perenna continued,"did you call the doctor''s attention to those brown patches?"
13058Me?
13058Meaning that the part played by myself strikes you as suspicious?
13058Meaning--?
13058Monsieur le Préfet, did_ he_ tell you that we were going to be blown up?
13058Monsieur le Préfet,he asked,"will you allow me to set forth the facts of the matter as it now stands?
13058Monsieur le Président, do you know a curious short story of Balzac''s called''A Passion in the Desert?''
13058My accomplice?
13058My own words? 13058 No flask, no phial?
13058No letter- heading?
13058No more supervision? 13058 No news, Chief?"
13058No other designation?
13058No others?
13058No sign of the rescuer? 13058 No, no, because--""Because what?"
13058No; what?
13058Not before?
13058Not enough hold? 13058 Nothing new?"
13058Nothing serious?
13058Nothing to be done? 13058 Now that the three branches of the Roussel family are extinct, who remains?
13058Now?
13058Oh, hang it all, ca n''t you tell me which way she went?
13058Oh, so you''re dead, are you?
13058Old Langernault? 13058 On whose part, Monsieur le Préfet?"
13058Open the second drawer on the left in my writing- desk.... You''ll find--"Yes, Chief?
13058Orders to keep me here until he comes?
13058Prefect''s orders?
13058Proofs? 13058 Quite simple, is it?"
13058Quite sure?
13058Really?
13058Rest? 13058 Sauverand?
13058Shall I have your inspectors called, Monsieur le Préfet?
13058Shall I tell you what I think, Chief? 13058 Shall we tie his wrists?"
13058She has made no confession?
13058She was away yesterday, was n''t she?
13058Sit down, Vérot, wo n''t you?
13058So he''s dead?
13058So it''s you, at last?
13058So she tried to kill herself?
13058So that you do not know what I did during my captivity?
13058So we are agreed?
13058So you are of my opinion?
13058So you are still among the living?
13058So you have a gift for that sort of thing?
13058So you never came into the slightest contact with the safe?
13058So you think her innocent, Mademoiselle?
13058So you''ve come to your senses, Chief?
13058Still, if she''s innocent?
13058Still--"What''s the matter with you, Mazeroux?
13058Suppose you''re nabbed?
13058Take care? 13058 That barn at Damigni: was it the first time that you had entered it?"
13058That is your view?
13058The Prefect of Police? 13058 The criminal?
13058The gentleman had a lady with him?
13058The matter? 13058 The mother superior?"
13058The question of awarding the Mornington inheritance?
13058The safe has not been broken into? 13058 The string, sir?
13058Then I do n''t see you again?
13058Then I have nothing to fear?
13058Then he was pricked in that place?
13058Then it was he who was seen coming in?
13058Then they had keys to the locks and bolts?
13058Then you forgive me?
13058Then, Chief, when we settled ourselves here, at two in the morning, it was a corpse that was lying beside us and another over our heads?
13058Then, Monsieur le Préfet--?
13058Then--?
13058Then?
13058Therefore there is no descendant of Elizabeth Roussel living?
13058They did not speak of me once, did they, Florence? 13058 They have n''t seen him go out?"
13058They''ll lock her up, eh?
13058Things are taking shape,"Do you think so, Chief?
13058This morning?
13058Through the papers?
13058Through whom?
13058To me, Monsieur le Préfet? 13058 To our interest?"
13058To- night?
13058To- night?
13058Too late? 13058 Two months in bed, Major; will that suit you?"
13058Under arrest, Monsieur le Préfet?
13058Under arrest? 13058 Under her pillow?
13058Was he murdered?
13058Was it a serious theft?
13058Was it his ordinary medical adviser?
13058Was the garden door shut?
13058We must therefore admit either that he was right in accusing her or that the letters are forged?
13058We shall avenge them, eh, Mazeroux?
13058We shall find the motor car if we follow this wall and then strike off to the left.... Do you think you can manage to walk so far? 13058 Weber, the deputy chief?"
13058Well, Alexandre, old man,cried Don Luis, when they had made themselves comfortable,"what do you say to this?
13058Well, Mazeroux, have you spent the night here? 13058 Well, but you surely do n''t intend to spend the night in here?"
13058Well, but, Monsieur, who are you?
13058Well, but, Monsieur--"What, Sergeant?
13058Well, of course... only--"Perhaps he''s not at home?
13058Well, what about it? 13058 Well, what did I tell you?
13058Well, what is it?
13058Well? 13058 Well?"
13058Well?
13058Well?
13058Well?
13058Well?
13058Well?
13058Well?
13058Well?
13058Well?
13058Well?
13058Well?
13058Were they able to remember them?
13058Were you afraid?
13058Were you there? 13058 What about our man?"
13058What about the post- office?
13058What are these two keys?
13058What are they?
13058What are you afraid of, Madame?
13058What are you doing?
13058What are you saying, Chief? 13058 What are you talking about, Chief?"
13058What are you talking about?
13058What can it all mean?
13058What can it matter to you? 13058 What case is that, old chap?"
13058What did you do with the will until the evening, until you locked it away up your safe?
13058What did you say? 13058 What do you mean, Chief?"
13058What do you mean? 13058 What do you mean?
13058What do you mean?
13058What do you say to that, Sergeant?
13058What do you say, my dear Desmalions? 13058 What do you say?"
13058What do you want?
13058What do you want?
13058What does this mean? 13058 What does this mean?
13058What evidence?
13058What for, Chief? 13058 What for?"
13058What good would that do me, as I''m going home and they know where I live?
13058What is it now?
13058What is it, Monsieur le Préfet?
13058What is the use of that if you ca n''t prove it?
13058What man?
13058What next, Sergeant? 13058 What next?
13058What orders?
13058What pleasure would there be in dying, sir, if others were to die as well as I?
13058What risk? 13058 What sort of thing?"
13058What the devil does this mean?
13058What the devil was she listening for?
13058What the devil''s this?
13058What then?
13058What then?
13058What town is that?
13058What will the law think then? 13058 What''s all this about?
13058What''s all this story?
13058What''s strange?
13058What''s that? 13058 What''s that?
13058What''s that?
13058What''s that?
13058What''s that?
13058What''s the matter with you, Alexandre? 13058 What''s the matter with you, Chief?
13058What''s the matter, Chief?
13058What''s the matter?
13058What''s the matter?
13058What''s the matter?
13058What''s the matter?
13058What''s the time?
13058What''s this little parcel addressed to me? 13058 What''s your hurry?
13058What, Monsieur le Préfet? 13058 What?
13058What?
13058What?... 13058 When will she be in?"
13058Where are they?
13058Where are we going, Chief?
13058Where are you, Chief?
13058Where did the inspector find it?
13058Where do you expect me to sleep? 13058 Where does this Langernault live?"
13058Where is he?
13058Where is it?
13058Where to?
13058Where were the papers posted?
13058Where?
13058Which proves--?
13058Who am I?
13058Who are you? 13058 Who could have done it, if it was not an accident?"
13058Who knows? 13058 Who lives in the house?"
13058Who said so?
13058Who the devil can have brought it? 13058 Who the devil comes walking here?"
13058Who wants her?
13058Who? 13058 Who?"
13058Whom do you mean? 13058 Whom?"
13058Why am I disturbed?
13058Why but what?
13058Why did I go against the evidence? 13058 Why do you call yourself Hubert Lautier?"
13058Why not have told me?
13058Why not nab him when he comes out?
13058Why not? 13058 Why not?
13058Why not?
13058Why not?
13058Why not?
13058Why not?
13058Why should I?
13058Why should n''t I be serious?
13058Why should they change their opinion, Chief? 13058 Why that question?"
13058Why were they not handed to you an hour or two earlier?
13058Why, have n''t you heard, Monsieur le Préfet?
13058Why, what''s the matter with him?
13058Why? 13058 Why?
13058Why?
13058Why?
13058Will M. Weber abandon his prejudices against me?
13058Will nothing content you, you she- devil, but to deal out murder all round? 13058 With the same care?"
13058With what object?
13058With what?
13058Without a reason? 13058 Without regret?"
13058Without the lady''s knowledge?
13058Would it bore you very much to call on that gentleman and ask for satisfaction in my name?
13058Would you know him again if you saw him?
13058Yes, Chief?
13058Yes, but--"Yes, but, if I do n''t fulfil it as an honest man: is that what you mean?
13058Yes, what is it?
13058Yes... or rather--She stopped; her cheeks were scarlet; her lips and chin trembled; and she asked:"Why do you ask me all these questions?"
13058You did not sleep before, while you were in the passage?
13058You did not sleep during the night?
13058You did not touch those papers?
13058You do n''t know either what she can have done after leaving the opera between twelve and two in the morning?
13058You have no more evidence to give?
13058You have no warrant? 13058 You know that, if this claim had not been made in the course of the present sitting, it would have had no effect?"
13058You mean Arsène Lupin, do n''t you?
13058You mean Caceres, the Peruvian attaché?
13058You saw Cosmo Mornington in the morning?
13058You see, Monsieur le Préfet, by the time it was started--"Was the motor that picked him up a hired one?
13058You think so?
13058You told me, Monsieur le Président, that the scoundrel''s motor car had left Versailles and was going toward Nantes?
13058You were at the opera?
13058You were in a hurry to get to your friend''s?
13058You''re not afraid?
13058You''re not dead?
13058You''re not hurt, Mazeroux?
13058You''ve no orders to thrash me, have you? 13058 Your orders?
13058Your task?
13058''But what proof have you?''
13058''How do you know?''
13058''What proof?
13058''Who''s next?''
13058***** Meantime, M. Desmalions had walked up to him and, while pretending to speak to Mazeroux, was really asking Perenna:"What do you think of it?"
13058... Are n''t you going to say good- bye?
13058... Are you there?.
13058... Eh?
13058... Have I been poisoned, too?
13058... His niece?"
13058... How long is it since the death of Arsène Lupin?"
13058... What are you talking about?"
13058... With a hundred millions one can afford to take life easy, eh, little girl?
13058A burglar?
13058A cigar or a cigarette?"
13058A letter written by Hippolyte Fauville three months before his death?"
13058A little later he began to laugh and, again raising his voice, said:"Afraid of what, Florence?
13058A murderer?
13058A scoundrel like this?
13058A sign of your head: is the answer yes or no?"
13058A sign of your head: is the answer yes or no?''
13058A swindler?
13058After all, he''s become an honest man, you know; he''s useful to us and he does no harm--""No harm, Monsieur le Préfet?
13058After all, looking at things from the worst-- And what do you want besides?"
13058After all, why not?
13058After that, the merest opportunity--""And did an opportunity offer?"
13058All the same, I have a funny sort of feeling--""Will you have a pick- me- up?"
13058Am I right?"
13058Amusing, was n''t it?
13058An enemy living in the house?
13058And as Edmond had to die, why not save him a lingering illness and give him a death which would double the crime of Marie and Sauverand?
13058And by whom, pray?"
13058And did you see the eyeglasses-- and the beard?
13058And do you want my death also, in order to attain your object?
13058And had Lupin, the terrible, undaunted Lupin, no right to claim his share?
13058And he went on to ask,"An ogre, of course?
13058And how did you find the means?
13058And how?
13058And how?"
13058And indeed how could any one have suspected it?"
13058And it''s in obedience to the decrees of--""Then--?"
13058And putting on a blunt tone, he asked:"And what is it you want?"
13058And she at once went on, insistently:"I, a right to the inheritance?
13058And she went away?...
13058And supposing he were wrong?
13058And then, again, why did he suspect us?
13058And then-- and then, even supposing that all the chances were favourable, was it not too late?
13058And then... well, that''s understood, eh?
13058And then?
13058And was this adversary satisfied with his stolen booty, or was he preparing to attack him?
13058And were not my silence, my flight, the shooting of Chief Inspector Ancenis so many crimes?
13058And what did he want?
13058And what is the connection between this adventure and the reader of the Hungarian count from whom I took over the house?"
13058And what will happen between them?
13058And where is the paper from?"
13058And who gave you the letter?"
13058And why does she not say what she was doing?
13058And why?
13058And yet no sign of fear showed in his face; and he simply said:"What do you want, Monsieur?
13058And yet why had he never ceased to love her?
13058And you know who is conducting all this plot?"
13058And you, Alexandre?"
13058And you, Mazeroux, do you believe me guilty?"
13058And, as the other seemed more and more perplexed, he laid his hand on his shoulder and said:"Who put you into the police office?"
13058And, besides, we are guarded, are n''t we?
13058And, even then, was he alone in doing what he did?
13058And, having got on the track, would he be certain not to lose it?
13058And, in Neuilly, by asking questions on every side, you ferreted him out?"
13058And, not daring to put them into words, not daring to say plainly what he thought, he began:"You know what happened in this house this morning?"
13058And, one day or another--""Did she volunteer no confession, this time either, before making the attempt on her life?"
13058And, suddenly,"It was the Prefect of Police who gave it to you, was it not?
13058And, turning to Mazeroux:"Sergeant, will you please make the room as dark as you can?
13058And, turning to the superior:"Is there another exit to the room?"
13058And, yielding to a sudden outburst:"But, look here, Chief, do n''t you see?
13058Answer me, ca n''t you?"
13058Answer my question: are you absolutely free?
13058Any money?"
13058Any weapons?"
13058Apart from the fact that her womanly modesty would have prevented her, what good would it have done?
13058Are n''t you afraid of a smash?
13058Are the papers of the Mornington inheritance ready for me?"
13058Are there any children?"
13058Are they going to arrest me?"
13058Are they not a proof, a definite proof that he came back?"
13058Are we to suppose that there is no connection, beyond a mere casual coincidence, between the series of crimes and that bequest?"
13058Are you Hubert Lautier?"
13058Are you able to name them, to assist our inquiry?"
13058Are you afraid now that the time has arrived?
13058Are you afraid?
13058Are you beginning to understand?"
13058Are you certain?
13058Are you certain?"
13058Are you engaged to him?"
13058Are you not yielding to some influence?"
13058Are you ready, men?
13058Are you ready?
13058Are you sure?
13058Are you sure?...
13058Are you the chemist?...
13058Are you there?
13058Are you there?
13058Are you, on your side, certain that everything that is necessary has been said?"
13058As he led him to the study, Mazeroux whispered:"Well, have you discovered him?"
13058At the Prefect''s?"
13058At the house on the Boulevard Suchet?"
13058At two o''clock in the morning?...
13058At what shameful price could she obtain her release?
13058At what time did you reach your friend''s house?"
13058Because I''m burning with passion, you imagine--?
13058Besides, even if we find the cab, are n''t we bound to suppose that Gaston Sauverand will know how to front the scent?
13058Besides, supposing that any one was hiding there, how could he have made his way into the room without attracting their attention?
13058Besides, the business must be finished by the time the Prefect comes,""Is he coming?"
13058Besides, what risk does he run?"
13058Bring Arsène Lupin back to life?
13058But Don Luis, without letting go of the girl''s arm, exclaimed:"Oh, Monsieur le Préfet, do n''t you see that this is all a mistake?
13058But Elizabeth Roussel had two sisters, did she not?"
13058But I was forgetting: is Inspector Vérot here?"
13058But a window opened and some one cried from the second floor:"What''s happening?"
13058But am I in a position to get at the truth in any other way?
13058But by whom?
13058But he recovered himself with an effort and asked:"Is n''t Monsieur Desmalions here?"
13058But his eyes wandered and his mind was haunted by the agonizing question that once more forced itself upon him: was Florence guilty or not?
13058But how and by whom?
13058But how could he forget Don Luis''s arguments and the accusation made beforehand against the person who would arrive at the meeting?
13058But how could they both have escaped, in the midst of the detectives?
13058But how did they get there?
13058But how did you get hold of the key?
13058But how does that affect things?
13058But how is it possible that the two skeletons have not yet been discovered?
13058But how shall I set about it to succeed?"
13058But of what did that share consist?
13058But perhaps he was able to tell you?"
13058But pity for whom?
13058But the detective office?
13058But then how, in the midst of all this, are we to explain the presence of-----""Whom, Chief?"
13058But there, you do n''t much care what you look like, I suppose?
13058But was it not merely chance?
13058But was the absurdity of a supposition a sufficient reason for discarding it?
13058But was this not enough to justify every alarm?
13058But what about Sergeant Mazeroux?"
13058But what could be her motive?
13058But what could the authorities do?
13058But what did he know?
13058But what enemy?
13058But what the devil are we loaded up like this for?
13058But what were her relations with Sauverand and what was her connection with Don Luis Perenna?
13058But what''s the good?"
13058But why hurry?
13058But why not?
13058But why these questions?"
13058But why, in a moment of madness, had he voluntarily brought this crushing indictment against himself?
13058But would M. Desmalions telephone to Valenglay?
13058But you''re certain you are not mistaken about the time when she arrived?
13058But, after all, what do I care?
13058But, in that case, how could she have been guilty of the extraordinary blunder of keeping those two keys?
13058But, in that case, was it necessary that suspicion should fall precisely on those on whom it did?"
13058But, knowing Inspector Vérot as you did, do you think he was the man to imagine things?"
13058But, this time, no barricading of doors, no bolts, eh?
13058But, wretched girl, do you think that I do n''t know what you''re crying for?
13058But--""Are you sure?"
13058By the way, dear friends, what''s the time?"
13058By what prodigy had Gaston Sauverand managed, in that short space of twenty minutes, to enter the house and make his way into this room?
13058By what supreme effort of will did he stifle the jealous hatred that burnt him like fire?
13058By what way?"
13058By whom?
13058Call for help?
13058Can any one be prevented from committing suicide?
13058Can not we take it that his accomplice is pursuing this method to the end and that he will not reveal himself until the last minute?"
13058Can you have the cheek to go home after what''s happened?"
13058Cosmo Mornington--?"
13058D''you think it interferes with my living, being dead?"
13058Davanne turned round and cried:"That''s the one, is n''t it?"
13058Dead?
13058Did he not know of it?
13058Did n''t I find the list of dates in a book belonging to Florence?
13058Did n''t I say that you''d meet at the gates of hell?
13058Did not I possess the condition which was indispensable to make any one interested in the murders?
13058Did not the circumstances logically demand the immediate dismissal of Florence Levasseur as well?
13058Did she realize nothing of the tragedy which was taking place and of which she was the unconscious heroine?
13058Did she write to you?"
13058Did the notebook contain a clue of any kind?"
13058Did you ever hear of such pluck?
13058Did you know of the Mornington inheritance?"
13058Did you know that I was here?"
13058Did you read the report of the Foreign Legion?"
13058Do n''t the facts prove that the letters were communicated by Florence?...
13058Do n''t you agree?
13058Do n''t you call that the mission of an honest man?"
13058Do n''t you know me?
13058Do n''t you understand that I''m wondering--?"
13058Do you accept, Monsieur le Président du Conseil?"
13058Do you accept?"
13058Do you hear me, Vérot?
13058Do you hesitate?
13058Do you imagine that we are going to obey that gentleman''s fancies?"
13058Do you know anything?"
13058Do you know him?"
13058Do you mean to say the wound is poisoned?"
13058Do you now absolutely believe in Marie Fauville''s innocence?"
13058Do you regret the step which you have taken?"
13058Do you say nothing in reply?"
13058Do you think I feel the hideous burning of the poison at this moment?
13058Do you think I have anything to say to this business?"
13058Do you think I''m going to leave her in prison, or Sauverand, either?
13058Do you think so?"
13058Do you think that I will allow for a second--?
13058Do you think that the first idiot who comes along can hang on to the footboard of my car without my knowing it?
13058Do you think they can have leaked out, Maître Lepertuis?"
13058Do you understand the terrible significance of that fact?
13058Do you understand?"
13058Do you, Major, recognize Private Perenna, who fought under your orders in the Foreign Legion?"
13058Do you?
13058Does n''t everything point to that conclusion?
13058Does n''t the case interest you?
13058Does not Lupin come out best?
13058Does your machine carry a passenger?"
13058Does your maid know the necklace?"
13058Don Luis asked:"Monsieur le Préfet, did Deputy Chief Weber give you any particulars about the brute''s car?"
13058Don Luis continued:"It was a fine curtain, was it not, Monsieur le Président du Conseil?
13058Don Luis looked at Valenglay and said:"What is it that you really wish to say, Monsieur le Président?"
13058Don Luis remained thinking for some time and then asked:"Did he leave any children, any relations of the same name?"
13058Don Luis remained undecided for a moment; but how could he hope that the honest and scrupulous Mazeroux had disobeyed the dictates of his conscience?
13058Don Luis said, in a ceremonious tone:"I hope I have not kept the Prime Minister waiting?"
13058Don Luis smiled:"Will you allow me?"
13058Don Luis stamped his foot:"Speak, will you?
13058Don Luis went up to her and said:"The mystery is clearing, Florence, is n''t it?
13058Don Luis went up to him and asked:"Your mother''s name was Ermeline Roussel, was it not?"
13058Don Luis''s excitement, his extraordinary restlessness, did not fail to strike Mazeroux, who asked:"Are you still of the same mind, Chief?"
13058Don Luis, who sat quietly smoking in an easy chair, answered:"Which will you have, Mazeroux?
13058Edmond, too?"
13058Eh, Mazeroux, what did I tell you last night?
13058Eh?
13058Except for that, see that I''m not disturbed on any pretext, wo n''t you?"
13058Fauville and Sauverand?
13058Fauville arrested?
13058Fauville come last night?...
13058Fauville is innocent''--do they express your real mind?
13058Fauville is not threatened?"
13058Fauville--?"
13058Fauville:"What was your son Edmond''s age?"
13058Fauville?"
13058Fauville?"
13058Fauville?"
13058Fauville?"
13058Fauville?"
13058Fear of the monstrous chance that might be her undoing?
13058Fear of what?
13058Florence''s death means your own sentence, does n''t it?
13058Florence?
13058For I take it that your five ladies were pretty?"
13058For he must have told you that there is a double murder planned for to- night?"
13058For the others?
13058For, after all, how are we to explain that the man should have waited until now to claim his rights?"
13058For, after all, who will find the murderers of Cosmo, Vérot, and the two Fauvilles, if they go clapping me into jail?"
13058From whom had Florence received that list of dates?
13058Gaston Sauverand, beside himself, with his eyes starting from his head, muttered:"Is it true?
13058Go faster, ca n''t you?"
13058Greatly upset, the Prefect murmured:"But the poison-- where did it come from?"
13058Had he played that part, which ended in the sacrifice of his life, voluntarily or under compulsion?
13058Had he the right to play the part of judge?
13058Had she, too, guessed?
13058Had they prevented the escape of Sauverand and Florence?
13058Has Deputy Chief Weber, who took me to the lockup last night, traced the motor cab in which Florence Levasseur was carried off?"
13058Have I been followed then and spied on?
13058Have I never seen women with that frank look who have committed murder for no reason, almost for pleasure''s sake?"
13058Have I your permission, Monsieur le Préfet?"
13058Have a dash at them?
13058Have any of you gentlemen a pocket lantern about you?
13058Have n''t you seen the grotto?
13058Have n''t you?
13058Have not all my promises been fulfilled?
13058Have we the right, in the absence of any real proof, to suppose that a woman can kill her husband, that a mother can poison her son?"
13058Have you a warrant against her?"
13058Have you any evidence?"
13058Have you begun your search in these two rooms?"
13058Have you discovered nothing in her papers?"
13058Have you drunk any of it?"
13058Have you ever known me kill people?
13058Have you guessed anything?
13058Have you searched the man''s pockets?
13058Having reached the last of that appalling series of crimes, was he imagining the several stages, each marked with a corpse?
13058He asked:"And afterward?"
13058He asked:"What guarantees do you require, Monsieur le Président?"
13058He blurted out:"Eh?
13058He called the coachman and asked him:"Where does this ball of string come from?"
13058He ceased; and then, after a few seconds, he added:"Unless--""Unless?"
13058He gasped:"But who are you, Monsieur?"
13058He leapt from his chair and, in his turn, gripped her arm fiercely:"What''s that?
13058He locked the garden door behind him, bolted it, put back the keys on the table and said to Mazeroux:"Have you spoken to the Chief of Police?"
13058He looked at Mazeroux and asked him, as though certain of the reply:"The explosion took place, did n''t it?"
13058He looked toward Don Luis, reflected, and then, taking the letter, he said to the messenger:"Is the bearer outside?"
13058He repeated:"Where are we going?
13058He saw the major and Don Luis Perenna exchange a glance and asked:"You knew Cosmo Mornington, did you not?"
13058He stammered:"Is that all?
13058He took breath and continued:"After that?
13058He took the newspaper and read:"Why do they not arrest him?
13058He touched a bell, and when his secretary entered, asked:"Are the people whom I sent for here?"
13058He turned to Davanne, whose machine was beginning to block the traffic, and asked:"Can we start?"
13058He was connected at once and continued:"Who is that speaking?...
13058He went down it, entered a kitchen and, seizing hold of the cook, said to her, in an angry voice:"Has a nurse just gone out this way?"
13058He went up to her and, in a low voice, said:"Florence, you know what I feel for you, do you not?"
13058He whispered to Mazeroux:"Could you manage to find out that beggar''s name?
13058He will telephone to headquarters; and to- morrow morning--""And suppose the bird has flown?"
13058He wrote that he had letters of ours in his possession: what letters?"
13058He''ll come?"
13058Her husband said, in surprise"Are you going out to- night?"
13058Her innocent eyes?
13058Her serene dignity?
13058Here''s a chocolate for you in case you''re hungry.... Do you want another?
13058Here--"But need I say more, Monsieur le Président?
13058How can a general, with no soldiers and no ammunition left, win a battle which he has lost?
13058How can a wretched, unwashed beggar, with not a penny in his pocket, make a fortune in twenty- four hours without setting foot outside his hovel?
13058How can you suffer physical pain when your soul is quivering with delight?
13058How could Florence be dead?"
13058How could Florence possibly be innocent?
13058How did he know that I had spent the night at Fauville''s?
13058How did her photograph come to be in Inspector Vérot''s pocket- book?
13058How did they reach her?
13058How did you know it?"
13058How did you manage it all?
13058How did you manage it?"
13058How do you explain that?"
13058How do you know?"
13058How do you mean?"
13058How far have you got at the office?
13058How is it possible?"
13058How much?"
13058How to describe and how to explain the part played, in the midst of all these catastrophes, by that enigmatical girl?
13058How were the criminals able to adapt the chandelier in this way?
13058I am sure that your counsel would be the first to advise you--""My counsel?"
13058I asked:"And Florence Levasseur?"
13058I have an idea: those three letters which you say you made out on the writing- table, are you sure they form the syllable Fau?"
13058I hope that the American Ambassador did not trouble to come in person?"
13058I must know this positively: it is most important.... You say it was two o''clock in the morning?
13058I say, what does this mean?"
13058I thought he was working with you?"
13058I''ll answer for it that he has accomplices-- and not a hundred yards from my house-- do you understand?
13058I''m free?"
13058I''m going to count three: one, two--""But what''s it all about?"
13058I''m right, am I not?
13058If Florence is dead, you''ll put the rope round your own neck, wo n''t you, wo n''t you, wo n''t you?"
13058If not, why should he have acted as he did, seeing that Cosmo Mornington''s millions reverted to him by the fullest of rights?
13058In a word, suppose I left you free?"
13058In default of the natural heirs, who inherits the property?
13058In ten minutes time?...
13058In that case, how could they get in?
13058Inspector Vérot''s murderers?
13058Inspector Vérot?"
13058Instead of going and getting himself seen to-- and who knows?
13058Is Marie the victim of the same mistake as myself?
13058Is he a friend of yours?
13058Is it arranged?"
13058Is it possible that he can be dead?
13058Is it possible to be so dense?
13058Is it possible?
13058Is it yes, Florence?
13058Is it''b?''
13058Is it''c?''"
13058Is n''t Mazeroux in your room with the two prisoners?"
13058Is n''t it as clear as daylight that Florence had a hand in it, as well as in all the rest?
13058Is n''t it so, Chief?
13058Is n''t it wonderfully neat and accurate?
13058Is n''t that hatred?
13058Is n''t that so, Florence?
13058Is she your wife?
13058Is that 2409?
13058Is that all?
13058Is that all?"
13058Is that enough for you?"
13058Is that incredible?
13058Is that so?"
13058Is that what you heard?"
13058Is the answer yes, Florence?"
13058Is there any one who is interested or believes himself interested in seeing you rich?
13058Is there anything but hatred to explain such an attitude?"
13058Is there anything you want?"
13058Is there no way of getting something to eat?"
13058Is this the first syllable of a name?
13058Is your imagination incapable of conceiving a man who reads nothing but reviews and scientific publications?
13058Is your life linked with that of some one else?
13058Is your message so urgent as all that?"
13058Is your sweetheart waiting for you?"
13058It has to do with the man with the ebony walking- stick, has n''t it?
13058It is called,''Why Do n''t They Arrest Him?''"
13058It is not you who are doing all this, is it?
13058It must have been that little she- devil of a Mirza who--""And when did you wind the string round the paper?"
13058It was a stroke of luck, was n''t it?
13058It was a stroke of luck, was n''t it?"
13058It was you who told me this morning.... Could I have suspected?
13058It''s Weber''s revenge, eh?"
13058It''s nice and thoughtful of me, is n''t it?
13058It''s rather impressive, being here again, what?
13058Knowing himself beaten, would a monster of that kind hesitate to add one more murder to the long list of his crimes?
13058Last night a gentleman came to Versailles from Paris in a taxi, left it and took yours: is that it?"
13058Lenormand?"
13058Let''s see, where were we?
13058Levasseur in?"
13058Levasseur''s room?"
13058Levasseur,"there is an article in the_ Echo de France_--""Relating to me?"
13058Levasseur--"What does it mean?"
13058Levasseur?"
13058M. Desmalions asked:"Is everything ready?"
13058M. Desmalions asked:"Will you let me see the necklace, Madame?"
13058M. Desmalions continued, with a glance at Florence:"I will first ask you, Reverend Mother, if you know this young lady?"
13058M. Fauville threatened with death and contriving his wife''s ruin with that Machiavellian perseverance?
13058Mazeroux made a gesture of entreaty, as though to say:"Well, what are you waiting for?
13058Mazeroux whispered:"What did I tell you?
13058Mazeroux?
13058Merely Perenna''s arrest?
13058Monsieur le Préfet, is it by accident that the electric light is on?"
13058Murdered?
13058Must I drag the words out of you?
13058Must I go farther back?
13058Must I not make use of it?"
13058Must you gaze on my features in broad daylight?
13058My name?
13058Nevertheless, can I speak to you?
13058Nevertheless, he objected:"And, if I refuse--?"
13058Nevertheless, in spite of himself, he went on in a gruff voice:"Look here, what is it?
13058No mistaking them, was there?
13058No, Chief; why should I be?"
13058No, I could n''t, could I?
13058No?...
13058Nobody shadowing my movements?"
13058Nor even to handcuff me?
13058Not a smile, not a word of thanks?
13058Not before?...
13058Not he, either?...
13058Nothing serious?"
13058Nothing suspicious?"
13058Now that I have nothing more to fear, now that you have been silly enough to come with me and place yourself in my power, what hope have you left?
13058Once dead, you cease to count...."What else?
13058One of your servants?
13058Only, is it really necessary?"
13058Only--""Only what?"
13058Only--""Only what?"
13058Or Monsieur?...
13058Or a murder?
13058Or can he have got away over the roof?"
13058Or did it refer to events of last year, events that took place on the dates set down?"
13058Or did she guess the terrible accusation which was gradually closing in upon her on every side and which threatened her with the most awful danger?
13058Or fear rather of the dread weapon which she was about to deliver against herself?
13058Or for herself?
13058Or people from the outside?
13058Or should he surrender it to the investigations of the police?
13058Or was he also the accomplice who helped him in his scheme?
13058Or was he to attribute a certain honesty to that man?
13058Or was she acting the emotions which the revelation of those facts would produce in her under natural conditions?
13058Or were they the tears of an actress able to play her part down to the slightest details?
13058Or would you rather have poison?
13058Pack of asses that you are, could n''t you leave me alone?
13058Perenna reflected; and then, in a serious voice:"Would you have fired, Mazeroux?"
13058Perhaps they have arrested her?
13058Perhaps they throw a light on the mistake of which I am a victim?"
13058Perhaps you consider that, being crippled, I shall not have the strength to kill you?
13058Perhaps you do not know that my life has no other aim but you?"
13058Perhaps you hope to see me again?
13058Plucky of us, eh?
13058Poor Vérot!--""Was he married?
13058Prove it?
13058Ready?"
13058Recommence the struggle with that accursed scoundrel?
13058Rest?
13058Returning to his study, he at once rang up Mazeroux and, lowering his voice so as not to let it reach the next room, he said:"Is that you, Mazeroux?"
13058Risk a fresh defeat and fresh ridicule?
13058Run, ca n''t you?"
13058See for yourself: are not these an''F,''an''A''and a''U?''
13058Sergeant Mazeroux of the detective service is with you, is n''t he?
13058Sergeant Mazeroux, would you mind drawing back the curtains and giving us as much light as possible?"
13058Shall I let myself be caught in my burrow like a rabbit?"
13058Shall I tell you your secret?
13058She stammered:"The water in that bottle... the water in that bottle--""Well?"
13058Should he go up it?
13058Should he keep this evidence for himself, for the personal inquiry which he meant to conduct?
13058So Weber knows?"
13058So it''s understood, what?
13058So there was no resistance?"
13058So you want me to tell you?"
13058So you''re not in prison?
13058So--"The Prefect of Police interrupted this silent monologue by repeating:"What would be your opinion?"
13058Suppose I took only the services which you have already rendered us into consideration?
13058Supposing the detectives had ceased to watch the upper floors and confined themselves to spending the night in the rooms on the ground floor?
13058Surely you do n''t propose to cover a retreat all by yourself?"
13058Taking for granted that they hunted down the wild beast, that they drove him to bay, would he not meanwhile have killed his prey?
13058Tell me, where did you buy your petrol?"
13058That I shall kill you perhaps?
13058That sheet of paper, the marks of those teeth: what does it all mean?"
13058That would have been a fatal prick, would it not?
13058That''ll be better, wo n''t it, Deputy?
13058That''s how it is?"
13058That''s it, is n''t it?
13058The Prefect asked:"What is your reply to the accusation?"
13058The Prefect asked:"Whom do you mean, Monsieur?
13058The Prefect continued, thoughtfully:"Arrest her... arrest her.... We should need a proof for that.... Did you receive no clue?"
13058The Prefect continued:"So you are ignorant of the reasons why you received the papers?"
13058The Prefect of Police continued:"Do you know this turquoise?"
13058The Prefect of Police put them as follows:"You were out, Madame, were you not, when the murders were committed?"
13058The Prefect of Police turned to the solicitor and asked:"Have I summed up the facts correctly, Maître Lepertuis?"
13058The Prefect repeated:"What were you doing?
13058The accent of sincerity in her voice?
13058The butler?
13058The cripple stepped back angrily, shouting in furious accents:"But do n''t you understand that you are done for?
13058The enemy is aware of our cordial relations; and, as he does not know where I am staying--""What enemy?"
13058The husband''s name was Alfred--""And the wife''s Victorine, eh?"
13058The last question still remained: who was this unknown person, the possible heir, and therefore the five or six fold murderer?
13058The one we saw at the Café du Pont- Neuf on the day when Inspector Vérot was murdered?"
13058The public prosecutor?"
13058The question forced itself upon him, the terrible persistent question-- what did he mean to do with Florence Levasseur?
13058The two were in opposition; but could not the very clash of their opposition be made to produce a spark of light?
13058Then M. Desmalions asked simply:"What were you doing last night between half- past eleven in the evening and two o''clock in the morning?"
13058Then he called his secretary:"Has any one come from the detective office?"
13058Then how can any one know?
13058Then why live and wait for a natural death which to them would mean the beginning of their happiness?
13058Then you admit--?"
13058Then, addressing the chief detective and the secretary general:"You are of my opinion, I hope?"
13058Then, suddenly, the Prefect stopped and said:"When you left the Boulevard Richard- Wallace, Monsieur, did you go straight home?"
13058There are things which I know, are n''t there, which you do not?"
13058There has been no burglary at your office?"
13058There is therefore nothing for me to do, Monsieur le Préfet, but to go with you to the lockup or else--""Or else what?"
13058These marks?"
13058This is all just a nightmare.... No, you are never going to arrest me?
13058Those teeth, those teeth which he did not see, were not they the teeth that had left the incriminating marks in the fruit?
13058To move me, perhaps: is that it?
13058To remove all suspicion from him?
13058To whose loathing had Marie Fauville and Sauverand been sacrificed?
13058To your mind, was Florence innocent or guilty?"
13058To- morrow?"
13058Two o''clock in the morning?...
13058Under the bridges?"
13058Unless--""Unless what?"
13058Was I not Cosmo Mornington''s heir?
13058Was a fifth heir putting in his claim?
13058Was all that modified by Sauverand''s story?
13058Was fate now leading him toward a like love and a similar murder?
13058Was he at last about to fight the real enemy, or would he himself succumb at the decisive moment?
13058Was he regretting his friend?
13058Was he then to conclude that the girl had wanted to kill him?
13058Was he then to hark back to his first conviction and believe Marie guilty, a dissembler like her accomplice, a dissembler like Florence?
13058Was he to give her the finishing stroke?
13058Was it a hard struggle?"
13058Was it a sign of absolute innocence, or the infernal craft of a criminal whom nothing is able to stir?
13058Was it addressed only to Don Luis Perenna?
13058Was it admissible that the dead man''s revenge should still continue in the same automatic and anonymous manner?
13058Was it an accomplice of Arsène Lupin, a friend of Florence, one of the police?
13058Was it an intruder hiding there by accident, or an enemy bent upon his destruction?
13058Was it just an allusion to your pluck, to your physical strength?"
13058Was it not he who had collected a heap of convicting proofs against her?
13058Was it not you, sir, who poisoned Inspector Vérot this morning and followed him to the Café du Pont- Neuf, with your grand ebony walking- stick?
13058Was it possible for a human being to carry heroism to such unlikely lengths?
13058Was it possible that this woman should be a murderess, a poisoner?
13058Was it possible to believe that M. Desmalions, in his heart of hearts, did not admit the identity of the two persons?
13058Was it possible?
13058Was it possible?
13058Was it the same pair of jaws that had left its impress in the pulp of the fruit?
13058Was it to his interest also to remain in the background?
13058Was n''t it nicely thought out?
13058Was she defying him?
13058Was she going to defend them?
13058Was she innocent or guilty?
13058Was something like a conscience making itself felt deep down in that brute?
13058Was the abominable murderer about to appear before them?
13058Was the being of whom I speak merely one who executed his orders?
13058Was the house really going to be blown up, by the mere effect of an infernal and all- powerful will?
13058We made certain yesterday, that unless he has wings--""Then what do you think, Weber?"
13058Weber asked:"Was it really Don Luis, Monsieur le Préfet?"
13058Well, Chief, could I help it?
13058Well, how are they to come?
13058Well, if you do n''t want that fortune, to whom will it belong?
13058Well, let''s see; am I to let myself be collared?
13058Well, the warrant--""The warrant?
13058Well, what about this apple, madam, this apple which you did_ not_ bite into and which all the same will be found to bear the marks of your teeth?
13058Well, what is it?
13058Well?...
13058Well?...
13058Were Perenna''s predictions about to be fulfilled?
13058Were her tears sincere?
13058Were not the marks of the teeth evidence of Marie''s undoubted guilt?
13058Were the letters not addressed to him and was it not in search of him that you were going off in the motor with Sergeant Mazeroux?...
13058Were there no signs of suffering?"
13058Were there people in my way?
13058Were they to suppose that the phial of poison and the hypodermic syringe had been introduced by the same means?
13058Were those facts really revealed to her for the first time?
13058Were we not entitled to attribute the whole plot to you, to you who introduced them into the horrible struggle?
13058Were you related, then?"
13058What about Gaston Sauverand''s death?
13058What about Marie Fauville?"
13058What accident?
13058What aim was she pursuing?
13058What am I saying?
13058What am I to do, then?"
13058What are you here for?"
13058What are you saying?
13058What are you saying?"
13058What are your terms?"
13058What can have put it into his head that we meant to kill him?
13058What cared I for the lives of any of those wretches?
13058What did the intervention of that nun mean?
13058What did those letters mean?
13058What did you say?"
13058What do you mean?
13058What do you mean?"
13058What do you mean?"
13058What do you say to it?
13058What do you say to that, Chief?"
13058What do you say, Chief?"
13058What do you say, M. Mazeroux?
13058What do you say?
13058What do you say?
13058What do you say?"
13058What do you say?...
13058What do you think of my little scheme?
13058What does all this mean?
13058What does all this mean?"
13058What does it all mean?
13058What does it mean?
13058What does it mean?"
13058What does the difference mean?
13058What else do you ask for, besides that answer?"
13058What for?"
13058What had happened between the two fugitives and the police?
13058What had she done in that neighbourhood for over an hour?
13058What happened between the two men?
13058What have I done?
13058What have you come for?
13058What infamous bargain was the villain proposing to Florence?
13058What is it, Chief?"
13058What is it?
13058What is it?"
13058What is it?"
13058What is the use of his going to the Prime Minister, though we all know that Valenglay protects you?
13058What is this story?
13058What miracle kept him from shooting?
13058What more do you want?"
13058What more do you want?"
13058What next?
13058What part had he played in the tragedy of hatred and murder?
13058What part was she playing in the case?
13058What person?"
13058What proof could I supply?
13058What reason?
13058What shall I do?
13058What sort of documents?"
13058What was Chief Inspector Ancenis''s life to me?
13058What was happening over there?
13058What was happening?
13058What was he going to do?
13058What was it that made him connect these two women at every moment in his mind?
13058What was it?"
13058What was she doing there?
13058What was the use of picking up the fallen revolver and levelling it at the intangible spirit of Arsène Lupin?
13058What was the use of struggling against the infernal machinations of that which is no more?
13058What was your opinion about her?
13058What were her thoughts?
13058What were her wishes?
13058What were the words spoken?
13058What were you doing there?"
13058What were your comrades''reasons for giving you that rather odd nickname of Arsène Lupin?
13058What would you have me reply?
13058What you mean, I suppose, is that, if I do not reply, I accept the accusation?"
13058What''s that you say?"
13058What''s that?
13058What''s the good of making appointments with people?
13058What''s the matter?"
13058What''s the time?"
13058What''s the use of those grimaces?
13058What''s up?"
13058What''s your price?"
13058What?
13058What?
13058What?...
13058When you entered this room at half- past two this morning and sat down beside M. Fauville, was there nothing to tell you that he was dead?"
13058Whence did that look come that troubled him as the daylight troubles a bird of the night?
13058Whence did this offer come, if not from Florence, who wished to have him near her in order to spy upon him and wage war upon him?
13058Where are we going?"
13058Where are you?"
13058Where could he have taken Florence?
13058Where did his fears, his nightmares, come from?
13058Where did they come from?
13058Where did those two men come from?
13058Where did you catch him?"
13058Where did you get it from?"
13058Where do they come from?"
13058Where do you come from and where are you making for?"
13058Where does it come from?
13058Where is he?"
13058Where was I?
13058Where were you?
13058Where''s your old French politeness?
13058Where''s your ticket?"
13058Which is the next letter after those three?
13058Which were the teeth of the tiger, the teeth of the wild beast: these, or the other woman''s?
13058Who are you?"
13058Who are you?"
13058Who are you?"
13058Who are you?"
13058Who benefits by the disappearance of all the Roussel heirs?
13058Who could hate like that?
13058Who could say that their bite would not leave the same imprint?
13058Who does not know his modest little pink- washed house, with its green shutters and its garden filled with bright flowers?
13058Who gave them to her?"
13058Who gave them?"
13058Who in the house has sworn to take my life?"
13058Who is he?"
13058Who is it speaking?"
13058Who put the letter in Mother Superior''s room?
13058Who talked of starting again?"
13058Who told you?
13058Who was the inconceivable person whose perverted genius had surrounded his two victims with chains so powerfully forged?
13058Who was this person who was mentioning facts that had been telephoned to police headquarters only at two o''clock that morning?
13058Who were those intruders?
13058Who would ever have thought her capable of it?
13058Who, when all was said and done, had served as his accomplice or his executioner?
13058Whom had you in mind?
13058Why ca n''t you hurry?"
13058Why did I admit the inadmissible?
13058Why did I credit an incredible fact?
13058Why did the criminal wish the thing that was to appear under that particular aspect?
13058Why did you not let me know?"
13058Why do n''t you answer?
13058Why do n''t you answer?"
13058Why do n''t you give up the criminal?
13058Why do n''t you lie down for a few hours?
13058Why go against logic and prolong an unnatural situation which no decent man can understand?
13058Why not you, as you were here and I was not and know nothing, absolutely nothing of what happened.... Why is n''t it you?"
13058Why not you?"
13058Why should I be?"
13058Why should I have killed them?
13058Why, when you learned all about this business, did you not go to the Prefect of Police or the examining magistrate?
13058Why?
13058Why?
13058Why?
13058Why?"
13058Why?"
13058Why?"
13058Will I come along?
13058Will my centre be able to stand the assault?"
13058Without knowing what it is about?"
13058Would Don Luis Perenna arrive in time?
13058Would Weber pursue the fugitive''s motor car with the necessary decision and boldness?
13058Would he get on the track again?
13058Would n''t you say that it was the plan of a house?"
13058Would the series be continued on the fifth of May?
13058Would they not succeed in shattering his plan?
13058Would you admit that there are two sets of jaws in the world that leave the same identical imprint?"
13058Would you like a length of rope?
13058Would you like me to write you a testimonial in your jail book?
13058Would you survive your lover?
13058Yes, it all fits in.... Why did n''t I think of it?...
13058Yes, what then?
13058You ca n''t live without Florence, can you?
13058You can picture it, eh?
13058You had your reasons, you were here last night.... Then why do n''t they arrest you?
13058You have n''t let him leave the house, I hope?
13058You know who it is?"
13058You know, do n''t you?
13058You mean to tell me--?"
13058You remember, Monsieur le Préfet, that turquoise which dropped out of my ring and was found in the safe?
13058You say you were rung up from Angers yesterday?"
13058You say you''re Don Luis Perenna?"
13058You see it for yourself?"
13058You see that I''m a man of method, eh, Florence, my darling?"
13058You understand, do n''t you, my dear friend?
13058You want money, I suppose?
13058You would n''t?
13058You''ll arrest her, wo n''t you?
13058You''ll arrest her, wo n''t you?
13058You''re not afraid of eternity, are you?
13058You''re not afraid?"
13058You''re not wounded, are you?
13058You''ve caught the notion, have n''t you?
13058You''ve never seen me laugh, Florence, have you?
13058You?
13058Your husband''s mother is dead, is she not?"
13058Your mistress?
13058asked Perenna,"and are we not bound to suppose that there was a controlling mind at the back of it all?
13058d''Ersingen at home?...
13058d''Ersingen''s?"
13058d''Ersingen''s?"
13058had I not five wives?
13058what are you hoping for?"
13058when a chap''s ideas are whirling in his head and he ca n''t use his brain, upon my word, all he asks is to die?
13058whispered Mazeroux,"You wo n''t remain here, I hope?"
34835''To the great God, who maketh the heart joyful,''he said, then added dubiously,"Does that refer to a pagan god, or to the Maker of all things?"
34835A commission, eh?
34835About parish matters?
34835Alas, Sybil, what defence can I make save state that I am innocent? 34835 All I ask you now is, how comes it that your debts run up to three hundred pounds?
34835And I believe you have to do with this precious discovery?
34835And about this enlisting?
34835And are you not ashamed?
34835And did the prophecy ever come true?
34835And have you been here long?
34835And he now denies that he did so?
34835And how do you propose to do that? 34835 And how do you propose to keep her?"
34835And if he has? 34835 And it was this power that made her introduce you into Colester society?"
34835And it was with that loan he paid his debts?
34835And now that the cup is lost again?
34835And the key was still on its nail?
34835And the letter in which you said you had stolen the cup?
34835And the money for your debts?
34835And the second time?
34835And what about his sister? 34835 And what about this story of Mrs Jeal?"
34835And what did you do?
34835And what has led you to such a happy conclusion?
34835And what is your reason, father?
34835And when he has caught me in his trap, Sybil?
34835And who did?
34835And who else will be at your house- warming?
34835And you, Sir Frank?
34835And you, Sybil?
34835And your sister?
34835Are you not aware that everyone in Colester is talking of your crime?
34835Are you sure of that?
34835Are you sure you can talk like that, my lady?
34835Barker, Barker? 34835 But I thought, Harold, that she believed the cup had been taken up to Heaven for the Supper of the Master?"
34835But for what, Mrs Gabriel?
34835But is it necessary to go over all the old ground? 34835 But tell me your opinion of this case?"
34835But what did he say?
34835But what does he mean by denying that he lent you the money?
34835But what good will that do?
34835But what is to be done? 34835 But why should he shield Haverleigh?"
34835But why should they do that?
34835But why-- who is Pratt?
34835But_ who_ is Pratt?
34835By the way,said Leo, who had been meditating,"why has Mr Pratt settled in these parts?
34835Ca n''t he leave the boy alone after all these years? 34835 Ca n''t you go to London and see this man Penny?"
34835Ca n''t you say something?
34835Can anyone be too fond of you?
34835Can you be sure of that? 34835 Can you-- can you prove this?"
34835Dear me, Mr Pratt, what do you mean? 34835 Dear me, what has he done?"
34835Did I not say it was incredible that a wealthy man should come down to pass his days in a dull place like Colester? 34835 Did n''t I say there was no blood of mine in your veins?"
34835Did they leave no message for me?
34835Did you catch up with Pratt?
34835Did you ever hear of anything so wicked, Haverleigh?
34835Did you hear her recite Tennyson''s lines? 34835 Did you not steal the cup?"
34835Did you re- enter my service in order to steal the cup?
34835Did you use threats, Leo?
34835Do you call eighteen years of age childish, Mr Tempest?
34835Do you endorse that statement, Miss Tempest?
34835Do you know Lord Kilspindie, father?
34835Do you know of their haunts?
34835Do you mean to infer that I thrust this misshapen body through that window?
34835Do you not know that I can have you arrested for such an admission?
34835Do you remember how I told you on the day of Mrs Bathurst''s picnic? 34835 Do you think Hale will deny the loan?"
34835Do you think he will be put in prison?
34835Do you think it is in heaven now, Pearl?
34835Do you think it was stolen?
34835Do you think so?
34835Do you think that sacred vessel was stolen also, Mr Marton?
34835Does Mr Pratt know that Sir Frank proposes to lend you the money?
34835Does Sybil?
34835Does he give any reason why he wants you to take it in gold?
34835Does he not do so?
34835Does it make Mr Haverleigh out a villain?
34835For what reason, Miss Tempest?
34835From Hale? 34835 Had she a good temper?"
34835Has Sir Frank Hale gone?
34835Has he a tattooed star on his cheek just under the cheek bone?
34835Has he spread that all about the town?
34835Has he written to you?
34835Have you any suspicions?
34835Have you been telling a lie?
34835Have you explained that to him?
34835Have you had luncheon, Leo?
34835Have you seen her, then?
34835Have you that infernal Marton with you?
34835He did, did he?
34835His child, my lord?
34835How are we to manage?
34835How are you going to manage?
34835How are you this morning, Haverleigh?
34835How can you do that, my love?
34835How could he bolt in this fog?
34835How dare he?
34835How dare you boast of your iniquities in my house?
34835How dare you call me by a foul name? 34835 How dare you make such an accusation against me?"
34835How dare you say I tell lies?
34835How dare you say so? 34835 How dare you say so?"
34835How dare you speak to me like this?
34835How dare you, Leo? 34835 How did you get on to the terrace?
34835How did you know the cup was in the parcel?
34835How do you know it was a man?
34835How do you know that, Mr Raston? 34835 How do you know that?"
34835How do you know?
34835How does it show that?
34835How else can he get away?
34835How was I dressed?
34835I guessed all this,said Leo, quietly;"but what can I do?"
34835I have no intention of marrying anyone but Sybil,said Leo, dryly;"but did you see how Hale backed out of his false position?"
34835I have your promise to give me the letter as it is?
34835I hope you have well considered what you are doing?
34835I suppose there is no chance of his being captured?
34835I suppose you are a prosperous community on the whole?
34835I suppose you will live here for many a long day?
34835I suppose,he was addressing Raston,"that you send copies of these to your friends?"
34835I wonder how he became possessed of it?
34835I wonder what his game is?
34835I wonder who it was could have impersonated you? 34835 I wonder why he has changed so, Sybil?
34835If I do, will you give me the letter?
34835In London?
34835In your house, my dear lady?
34835Indeed? 34835 Is Mr Pratt within?"
34835Is Pratt my father?
34835Is he clever at disguising himself?
34835Is his name Angel?
34835Is it a serious matter?
34835Is it any use your sitting there like a fool? 34835 Is it likely that in these days a man would pay such a large sum otherwise than by cheque?
34835Is it not Balzac who says the clergy are all in black because they see the worst side of human nature? 34835 Is it not dangerous to keep them in your house after this robbery?"
34835Is it not enough that I should have the shame of being your son, but that you should approve of any action I do? 34835 Is she a Roman Catholic?"
34835Is she very ill, Raston?
34835Is that the insane girl?
34835Is that you, Pearl?
34835Is the description accurate, vicar?
34835Is the girl really and truly ill?
34835Is there anyone to object?
34835Is this a joke, mother?
34835Is this my son?
34835It is strange, is it not, my lady?
34835Leo,said Pratt in an agitated tone,"surely you would not have brought the man here to get me into trouble?"
34835Let me go, Raston; do n''t you hear what he says?
34835Marton?
34835Miss Tempest?
34835Mrs Gabriel?
34835My dear young lady,said Pratt, with a twinkle,"do you think that I flatter myself that a battered old man like myself is your choice?
34835My mother?
34835No; why should they?
34835No? 34835 No?"
34835Nothing wrong, I trust?
34835Oh, Frank, did you do that?
34835Oh, why does n''t the Master take His cup into the bright sunshine where it could grow warm and rejoice in the glory of day? 34835 Pearl is not with you?"
34835Pratt?
34835Shall I go?
34835She could not have gone out last night to the chapel, doctor?
34835She told you that? 34835 Should this dangerous woman go free to be a pest to society?"
34835Suppose you should be the long- lost son of Lord Kilspindie?
34835The cup was on the altar when you left the church last night?
34835The man is a gentleman, I suppose, Raston?
34835The money, Hale? 34835 Then I am not his son?"
34835Then where did he get so large a sum?
34835Then why did n''t you bring him up yourself?
34835Then why do you do wrong? 34835 Then you did n''t steal the cup?"
34835Then you do n''t think, Mr Tempest, that a woman can have had anything to do with the matter?
34835Then you want Leo to come back and meet him?
34835Then you_ do_ hate me?
34835There is no bad news, I trust?
34835There is something connected with you that is wrong?
34835To what?
34835Unless I give up Sybil and marry his sister?
34835Very gladly,said Leo, heartily;"but what about Pratt?"
34835Was the church door locked?
34835Well, what''s up?
34835Well,Leo asked eagerly,"and what does my-- what does Pratt say?"
34835Well?
34835Were you prejudiced against him by Mrs Gabriel?
34835What angels, Pearl?
34835What are you doing here, Leo?
34835What are you going to do?
34835What brings you here?
34835What business can a woman like you have with me?
34835What can we do with the newspapers, darling?
34835What could you expect from a man who had so many wives?
34835What crime?
34835What cup?
34835What do you know? 34835 What do you mean?"
34835What do you mean?
34835What do you mean?
34835What do you think?
34835What does Pratt mean?
34835What does she intend to do now?
34835What for? 34835 What good would that do, my dear?
34835What happened after that?
34835What have fine folks like them to do with a woman like you?
34835What have you been doing?
34835What have you heard?
34835What influence could I bring to bear towards helping a criminal?
34835What is it, Pearl?
34835What is it, Sybil?
34835What is it?
34835What is that, Harold?
34835What is that?
34835What is the matter now?
34835What is the matter?
34835What matter?
34835What the devil is the matter?
34835What''s the matter with her now?
34835What''s the matter, Raston?
34835What, indeed?
34835What,he said,"are you the man with the bow- string, Raston?
34835What? 34835 What?
34835When are you going away, Leo?
34835When are you going away?
34835When did you leave the church last night, Barker?
34835When did you see him in Colester?
34835When is he coming back?
34835When will you call?
34835Where did you come from?
34835Where were you so early this morning?
34835Who could help being all right in this jolly weather? 34835 Who dares to say such a thing about me?"
34835Who is Marton?
34835Who is going to lend you the money meantime?
34835Who is the inconvenient third, Miss Peggy? 34835 Who is this young gentleman?"
34835Who is to pay four hundred pounds for it?
34835Who is uncharitable now, Mr Haverleigh?
34835Who told you so?
34835Who? 34835 Why all this anxiety, Mrs Jeal?"
34835Why are you behaving like this, woman?
34835Why are you going to London?
34835Why did she do that?
34835Why did you come here?
34835Why did you lend it to me in gold?
34835Why did you tell that lie about my having pawned the cup?
34835Why do n''t you speak to her?
34835Why do you call him a rascal?
34835Why do you think so?
34835Why do you want me to confess a crime of which I am not guilty? 34835 Why does she go on the moor?"
34835Why is he going away?
34835Why not?
34835Why not?
34835Why should Mr Haverleigh be such a fool? 34835 Why should he?"
34835Why should there be anything wrong?
34835Why will you tell these lies?
34835Why, Hale, you do n''t believe he stole the cup?
34835Why, in Heaven''s name?
34835Why, then, did He make Pearl ill if He loved her? 34835 Why, what is he writing to you about?"
34835Will one of you gentlemen go to my cottage,she said,"and open the third drawer in the chest of drawers in my bedroom standing opposite to the door?
34835Will you ask me, Mr Pratt?
34835Will you come with me, Mr Pratt?
34835Will you dare to speak again as you have done?
34835Will you speak?
34835Will you tell me what reason your aunt has for disliking you so much?
34835With money?
34835Wo n''t you speak to Raston?
34835Woman, is this true?
34835Would n''t a girl have done?
34835You are a native of these parts, Mr Raston?
34835You are a thief as well, are you not? 34835 You are fond of photography, Raston?"
34835You are going to see Mrs Gabriel?
34835You are unwell, Mr Pratt?
34835You can do nothing but enlist, I suppose?
34835You do n''t believe me?
34835You have known him for many years, mother?
34835You have made up your mind to that?
34835You intend that he shall be your heir, then?
34835You know all about the case?
34835You lent me three hundred pounds?
34835You locked the chapel up last night?
34835You say that Hale lent you the money?
34835You seem to have been everywhere, Mr Pratt?
34835You want me to surrender Sybil so that you may marry her, and to make your sister my wife? 34835 You will answer truthfully, I hope?"
34835You wish me to marry,said he; then, after a pause, he proceeded sarcastically,"And I suppose you have chosen me a wife?"
34835Your family name is Grant, then, my lord?
34835Your mother?
34835Adam?
34835After doing all this, do you think I''ll give it up?
34835And how are you, Mr Pratt?"
34835And how did I know the man would be such a scoundrel?
34835And if he did not get the key, how could he have forced himself through that small window?"
34835And now I should like to know what you mean by denying that you lent me the three hundred pounds?"
34835And the cup?"
34835And what would life be without Sybil?
34835And where will you get the money?"
34835And why did He take away the Holy Grail which Pearl watched over so carefully?"
34835Are you fond of gems?
34835Are you going to take this money?"
34835Are you in a position to be so?
34835Are you not, Frank?"
34835Are you speaking truly?"
34835Are you tired, blue?
34835Are you_ sure_ she will not take it away, Mr Raston?"
34835But Mrs Gabriel, why should she?"
34835But about this loss, sir?"
34835But do n''t you think it would be better to get Mr Pratt to see your mother and induce her to give you the money than take it from Sir Frank?"
34835But how does all this benefit me?"
34835But is it not enough to make an honest man''s blood boil to be placed in such a position?
34835But tell me, how came it that the cup was stolen the third time?"
34835But what am I to do?"
34835But what story can she have to tell about you, dear?"
34835But who knows if I shall ever see him again?"
34835But who would have thought that any one of my faithful servants would steal?
34835But you_ will_ go to Portfront, Mr Raston?"
34835But yourself, Mrs Jeal?"
34835By the way, Haverleigh, has that fool of a detective gone?"
34835By the way, James, has Haverleigh turned up yet?"
34835By the way, has his jackall gone also?"
34835By the way, he is the individual who gave your church this celebrated cup?"
34835By the way, who is this Mr Pratt?"
34835By the way,"as Adam entered,"I see he has got back?"
34835Can a bad tree bear good fruit?
34835Did n''t I, Adam?"
34835Did the man give your name?"
34835Did you hear him leave?"
34835Did you not hear him say that he was going abroad with his sister?
34835Did you see the angels, Miss Sybil?"
34835Do n''t you think you had better see my father?"
34835Do you know him, Marton?"
34835Do you not owe me something?"
34835Do you not remember the letter he wrote to Marton saying he had stolen the cup and again had it in his possession?"
34835Do you think she may have stolen this cup herself, and have invented this wild story to account for the loss?
34835Do you think that I can go on listening to your angry words without a protest?
34835Do you think that I would let her become my wife, knowing who I am?
34835Do you think the vicar will consent to the marriage?"
34835Do you want a story for the hammock?
34835Do you want a story with"go,"with an original plot?
34835Do you want to laugh?
34835Does he believe I did this vile thing?"
34835Has he left anything at your place, Raston?"
34835Has her father discovered anything bad about me?"
34835Has she built one?"
34835Have I not fed and clothed and educated you?"
34835Have I your permission?"
34835Have you a photograph of him?"
34835Have you chosen him a wife also?"
34835Have you had to put on mourning for this Haverleigh?"
34835Have you not been to the castle?"
34835Have you noticed that until we found out this quiet spot Mrs Gabriel or Sir Frank and his sister always joined us?"
34835He had some power over her--""And what_ is_ the power?"
34835He is liked, is he not, Leo?"
34835How can anyone who knows me believe me guilty of so terrible a crime?
34835How can you stand there and deny your guilt?"
34835How could he have got the key?
34835How dare you accuse me of such a crime?"
34835How dare you suggest such a thing?
34835How do we know that Mr Haverleigh has not been working together with Tony Angel?
34835How do you do, Mrs Jeal?"
34835How do you know Pratt has gone?"
34835How is that to be paid?"
34835How much did you sell the cup for?"
34835How the devil did you manage to find out my retreat?
34835How was it he appeared so unexpectedly?"
34835I can keep this paper, Mr Marton?
34835I do n''t suppose she has any enmity against Haverleigh?"
34835I should like to know, however, how it was that Pratt claimed me as a son?"
34835I suppose the telegraph- office is closed?"
34835I suppose you mean Lord Kilspindie?"
34835I wonder who can have taken the cup?"
34835If you can spare me for a few days, Mr Tempest, I will go to London and see Marton?"
34835If you did not intend to behave as a woman should, why, in Heaven''s name, did you not leave me to be dependent on strangers?
34835Is it far from here?"
34835Is it not about time that you stopped setting your wits against mine?
34835Is it not beautiful?"
34835Is it not better for me to be fighting for my country than staying here eating the bread of idleness?
34835Is that not so?"
34835Is this the conduct of a minister of the Gospel?"
34835It is not in your possession?"
34835Miss Tempest will take charge of Pearl, and--""What have I to do with all this?"
34835Moreover, he had a kind of instinctive feeling that Marton had come to proclaim the innocence of Leo, else why should he come at all?
34835Now, he must have got the money from somewhere, and who would trust him?"
34835Pearl?"
34835Perhaps I might have yielded, and then what would have happened?
34835Pratt has the cup, why should you not be the child?
34835Raston, what does this man mean?
34835Raston?"
34835Surely, Marton, you do not think he knew anything of Pratt''s doings?"
34835Then what I have heard is true?"
34835Then why wo n''t your mother consent?"
34835Then, after a pause, Mrs Jeal asked,"About that gentleman at your place, miss-- will he stay long?"
34835Then, as Leo walked down the road beside her, back to the castle, she added,"I understand that you are engaged, Leo, and without my consent?"
34835This Leo Haverleigh?
34835Was he very angry?"
34835Was it design or accident that I found you there?
34835Well, Mr Haverleigh, so Pratt has gone?"
34835Well?"
34835What about him?"
34835What about the wedding- day?"
34835What can I do?"
34835What could his aunt have been saying about him or his parents likely to make the vicar take so strong a view of the matter?
34835What could she have done to give a man like Pratt-- he could not call him father-- a power over her?
34835What did you say?"
34835What do you mean?"
34835What do you mean?"
34835What does he want?"
34835What explanation have you for me?"
34835What is it?"
34835What is the matter, Mr Tempest?"
34835What is the statement?"
34835What is this cup, dear Mr Pratt?"
34835What is to be done now?"
34835What is to be done?"
34835What is up now?"
34835What right have you to be extravagant?
34835What takes you to London?"
34835What was the use, thought Mrs Bathurst, of suggesting a wife to a man who knew so well how to dispense with one?
34835What were you doing there if it was not to steal?
34835What will you do?"
34835What would her father say should he ever come to know that she had paid such a visit?
34835What would your father say?"
34835What''s up now?"
34835What, then?"
34835When are you going away?"
34835When does he go, Mrs Jeal?"
34835When you have quite done perhaps you will let me speak?"
34835Where did you get the money to pay your debts if it was not from selling the cup?"
34835Where did you get the money?
34835Where did you meet him?"
34835Where have you been after making an exhibition of yourself?"
34835Where have you been, Marton?"
34835Where is the proof?"
34835Who but you, the giver of the cup, should wish to help?
34835Who is he?
34835Who is he?"
34835Who is it?"
34835Who is that?"
34835Why do you look so closely at that picture, Marton?"
34835Why should I not give him up and accuse you of being an accessory to his concealment?"
34835Why should you believe the bad and doubt the good?
34835Why?"
34835Will he ask us to dinner?"
34835Will you and Miss Tempest dine with me next week?"
34835You knew he was going to see Mr Raston?"
34835You love Sybil?"
34835You quite understand that next week I go to London?"
34835You saw this man Penny, no doubt?"
34835You say this man Pratt has now the cup in his possession?"
34835You think that Pratt has the cup?"
34835You think that Tony Angel will go there?"
34835You understand, Sir Frank?"
34835You will see me sometimes, Sybil?"
34835Your debts?"
34835Your father?
34835Your mission here is one of blackmail?"
34835_ Did_ you take it?"
34835is, Mr Tempest?"
34835replied Haverleigh, stroking her hair;"but your father?
34835said Lord Kilspindie, coming forward, with a look of admiration at the beautiful girl before him,"and you, sir?"
34835said Pratt, with a swift glance, remembering Mrs Jeal,"is she of gipsy blood?
34835said Tempest,"and the Scotch so clannish?"
34835said he, calmly,"so she has turned you out-- on account of this theft, I suppose?"
26482A mysterious tenant, you say, mamma? 26482 A sub.?"
26482A widow, eh?
26482About you? 26482 Accused, Claire?"
26482Again?
26482Ah-- er-- was-- a-- was the old lady a property holder, then? 26482 Ah?"
26482All?
26482Already?
26482And Lucian Davlin, your pretended brother, was your accomplice?
26482And after all these years, too; how many are they, my dear?
26482And did they meet like old friends, Céline?
26482And he was unkind to his step- daughter, too?
26482And how do you propose to bring this about?
26482And how is it that you are once more fortune hunting? 26482 And how is it to be between us?"
26482And how long has the woman whom he calls Cora been known to you?
26482And if I do n''t choose to remain?
26482And if I proved it?
26482And if I refuse?
26482And if I reject your terms?
26482And is there nothing more I can do?
26482And now, how did your husband stand toward the injured man?
26482And pray, from what event does your memory date?
26482And that is your work?
26482And the door leading to the drawing- room?
26482And the guilty one, then?
26482And the name of the maid?
26482And then? 26482 And then?"
26482And then?
26482And this will, I trust,--he was growing more stately and polite every moment--"this, of course, is satisfactory to you, Miss Madeline?"
26482And to let alone?
26482And what did you say?
26482And what then?
26482And what was the standing of that man and the victim, this Percy?
26482And what will they be?
26482And when I leave Oakley, what then?
26482And when do you return?
26482And who, pray, may be his heirs?
26482And why have you leagued with my wife-- curse her-- to shut me up like a thief?
26482And why?
26482And will you carry my letter, Henry, and return with an answer as soon as you can? 26482 And you can get in again unseen?"
26482And you do not wish her to know?
26482And you have fancied him a sort of handsome horse jockey, and this Percy one of the same brotherhood?
26482And you heard nothing more about this old man?
26482And you will give up your own vengeance, for the sake of Olive and her happiness?
26482And you will hold me to a promise not to lift a hand to help clear the name of my friend?
26482And you wo n''t stay just one more little week?
26482And you would not hate me also for rudely undeceiving you?
26482And, after hearing it, may I communicate with you?
26482And, between you, you disposed of the difficulty?
26482And,interrupted Olive,"you must all three go to Bellair; that is,"looking at Mrs. Ralston,"if--""If I will go?"
26482And-- his widow?
26482And?
26482And_ how_ should I know?
26482Any people in the building besides your master and the lady?
26482Are you Hagar?
26482Are you afraid? 26482 Are you doing right, my sister?"
26482Are you in earnest about going to Bellair, Miss Keith?
26482Are you sure we are quite safe here?
26482Are you sure?
26482Are you tired, dear?
26482Are-- are you without parents or guardian?
26482As how?
26482As how?
26482Aunt Ellen,_ am_ I an impostor?
26482Blonde?
26482Bright, beautiful, brave Claire,she murmured;"who could help loving her?"
26482But it is true; is it not?
26482But why did n''t you tell him good- by to- day?
26482But why serve me, Céline?
26482But you want to know?
26482But, Madeline, what does all this mean? 26482 But-- aren''t you looking a little too well for a lady who has been so desperately ill?
26482But-- have you known him before?
26482By which you mean, beware of your wrath if I do n''t explain things to you; eh, auntie?
26482Ca n''t I? 26482 Ca n''t I?
26482Can you accept so unworthy a brother?
26482Changed? 26482 Child, what can you do?"
26482Claire''s lover is named Percy; can it be the same? 26482 Claire, Claire Keith, I beg you answer me truly; do you really dislike me?
26482Claire, can you be ready on such short notice?
26482Come, now,coaxingly,"what were you thinking?"
26482Davlin?
26482Dear Alice, my voice never was vulgarly loud, was it? 26482 Did I ever?"
26482Did he find his garments?
26482Did n''t inquire after me, or say anything about the documents?
26482Did you ever fire a pistol?
26482Did you lock your door, Ellen?
26482Did you look?
26482Did you observe if he returned in the same train with yourself?
26482Did you see Mr. Percy after you left Bellair?
26482Did you? 26482 Do n''t you know that I have overstayed my time by almost a month?"
26482Do n''t you want to see a clergyman?
26482Do they?
26482Do with you?
26482Do you doubt?
26482Do you know how long we have been playing this little game, sir?
26482Do you like her, Henry?
26482Do you suppose I intend to give you that advantage over me?
26482Do you think I have been so poorly schooled during these years that you can make me think now that you have any hold upon me? 26482 Do you think I shall cry after a pinch of ashes?"
26482Do you think that Mr. Percy is that man?
26482Do you want to make Mr. Arthur hate me more, and keep you from me entirely? 26482 Do you?"
26482Does he know I am on deck?
26482Does she doubt, I wonder?
26482Does she want-- to see-- me?
26482Done up?
26482Eats? 26482 Eh, Co., what is it?"
26482Even in this disguise?
26482Evidently, then, she and your master were friends of long standing, even at that time?
26482Eyes,--what color?
26482First, then, were you personally acquainted with this Percy?
26482First, then,said her interrogator,"are you entirely without friends in this city?
26482First,pursued Madeline;"my father dislikes me very much; is this the truth?"
26482For God''s sake,_ what_ are you?
26482For what, then?
26482Gone?
26482Had it all cut and dried? 26482 Hate my best friend; my benefactor?
26482Have n''t I?
26482Have they locked_ her_ up?
26482Have you any further instructions, any clue, to give them?
26482Have you really hated me? 26482 He is quite prepared to see me, then?"
26482Heard of her? 26482 Henry, is it not time that your master were here?
26482Horribly late, is n''t it?
26482How are you?
26482How do you know that Mr. Percy is that man?
26482How do you know that? 26482 How do you know that?"
26482How do you know?
26482How long had Mr. Percy been in the little parlor, Céline, before I came down?
26482How long will it take you to squander her dollars? 26482 How should I know who a stingy old reprobate will choose to inherit after him?
26482How should I know, if you do n''t?
26482How should I know?
26482How then?
26482How would the Peri fancy taking up her permanent abode outside the walls of Paradise?
26482How, pray?
26482How, then?
26482How?
26482How?
26482How?
26482How?
26482How?
26482How?
26482I am Hagar; and you are?
26482I am not afraid, Lucian, but--"But lonely; is that it? 26482 I ask, did you ever see this Madeline Payne, who ran away recently?"
26482I beg pardon, madame, you appear in trouble; perhaps I intrude?
26482I came back to see--"Not old Verage?
26482I do n''t know when,--Miss Arthur was beginning to feel injured;"I suppose you are well known in society there?"
26482I hope you found no difficulty in getting out to- night?
26482I mean,he said,"did she say anything to cause you to think that she suspected us?"
26482I saw you pause under that tree and look about you,he said, slowly;"was it because you thought of other days, and of me?"
26482I say, when is this to end? 26482 I see,"smiling; and then, making his first real venture:"Could you do some work for me to- morrow?"
26482I see; but why did you follow her, when she came down? 26482 I think I am not mistaken; this is the young lady who arrived last evening, and is registered,"--she looked full in the girl''s eyes--"as Miss Weir?"
26482I thought that was settled to- day?
26482I will not permit you to leave me; do you hear me? 26482 I wonder if this''other''would so readily resign her lover to you?"
26482I? 26482 I?
26482I? 26482 I?"
26482If I did, what then?
26482If I said you were standing on the verge of a horrible precipice, that your life and soul were in danger, would you listen then?
26482If you wish to; do you?
26482Indeed,sarcastically;"who?"
26482Is he in this train?
26482Is it loaded?
26482Is it true, Henry, that the room below your master''s apartments is fitted up for private gambling?
26482Is it you, dearie?
26482Is she still very ill, this girl?
26482Is the dove in danger when it is in the nest of the hawk?
26482Is this all I can do?
26482Is your sister ill?
26482Is_ she_ ill?
26482It certainly will not be to your interest to attempt to annoy me now, but how long is this truce to last?
26482John Arthur, are you satisfied?
26482Just so,serenely;"have n''t they been long?
26482Learned anything more in regard to my man?
26482Let me see, ball opened in June, did it not?
26482Let them think me uncivil,she murmured to herself;"what does it matter now?"
26482Look, did you ever see that face?
26482Madame Torrance, eh? 26482 Madame will not be angry with me?"
26482Madeline, how did you come by this?
26482Madeline, is this true?
26482Madeline, what is it you wish to do?
26482Madeline, you will do nothing rash? 26482 Madeline, you will forgive me?"
26482May I ask where?
26482May I smoke?
26482Meaning who?
26482Might I ask where you came from?
26482More cream, monsieur? 26482 More than-- my-- my words?"
26482Mr. Allyne, when can we start; how soon?
26482Mr. Percy, explain, if you wish to lighten your own burden, by what means did that man persuade you to let him go free?
26482Mrs. Ralston, what do you mean?
26482Must not? 26482 Must you go so soon?"
26482My dear, did you ever see Davlin?
26482Never, darling?
26482Never, little girl?
26482No matter,calmly;"do you know the picture?"
26482No, hush: he saw me safely on board the_ Golden Rose_--very gallant of him, was n''t it?
26482No,shortly;"why should she?
26482No? 26482 No?"
26482No?
26482No?
26482No?
26482Nonsense,--Mr. Arthur suddenly forgot his politeness--"haven''t I just stated his offer?"
26482Not afraid, little one?
26482Not going out without an escort, my dear? 26482 Not ready yet?"
26482Not while your wings are so fresh, surely? 26482 Not yet?
26482Now you will be a good girl and go back soon?
26482Now, Lucian, stop parleying, and tell me, when is this going to end?
26482Now, can you make yourselves comfortable here for a little while? 26482 Now, sister mine, wo n''t you make me a promise, just one?"
26482Now, then,said her tormentor,"where is Miss Payne''s room?
26482Now, what are we to be henceforth?
26482Now, will you try and recall some of these fragments of talk? 26482 Of course; why not, darling?
26482Off the bed?
26482Oh, he does? 26482 Oh, well; will it be becoming?"
26482Oh, why does God make His foulest things the fairest?
26482Oh,cried Olive, as Claire disappeared,"is this true?
26482Oh,_ did_ you? 26482 On conditions?"
26482Or a runaway young woman?
26482Or stolen money?
26482Or stolen--_papers_?
26482Or,continued he;"better still, may I come down to Bellair and talk things over with you, should I deem it advisable?"
26482Over you?
26482Pardon me, madame, but are you a stranger to the city?
26482Pardon, oh, pardon, did it hurt?
26482Plainly, then,said Clarence,"you are going to Bellair; and,"drawing out his pocket- book,"you are not retained as yet for this work?"
26482Poor Philip,sighed Olive,"what would he say if he knew that his fate rests in the hands of a mere girl?"
26482Question for question, fair cross examiner; how long do you intend remaining so quietly here, the bond slave of this idiotic old man? 26482 Really?"
26482Shall I see her?
26482Shall I show them to Miss Arthur, or not?
26482Shall the knowledge of your disgrace go beyond this room? 26482 Shall you go, really?"
26482Shall you not come back to the city soon, Miss Payne? 26482 She has strong reasons for not wishing to be seen and recognized; I wonder what they are?"
26482She is very handsome,mused the girl, as if to herself:"left just before my arrival, I think?"
26482She seems to be a woman of wealth?
26482She wo n''t be able to leave here for many days, I should fancy?
26482Should not this be the day on which my new maid arrives?
26482So Mr. Arthur ill- used his first wife, my predecessor?
26482So we are,assented the girl;"and why should n''t we be, pray?
26482So what is to be my fate, fair destiny?
26482So you have an idea, then, Lucian? 26482 So you ride out of the city in a smoking- car for the purpose of riding back in the ladies''carriage?"
26482So your charming sister- in- law eats, does she? 26482 So,"panted the old man,"this is one of your hirelings, is it?
26482Social standing not good, eh? 26482 Still a bride, is she?
26482Stuff? 26482 Surely you are going with me?"
26482Take you out of the city?
26482Tell me, Claire, do you not know how deeply I love you?
26482Tell me,she said, in eager entreaty;"oh, tell me, you are not going with_ him_?"
26482That means-- can it mean that Lucian Davlin is at last in our power? 26482 The difference in the favor of the country living, eh?
26482The man is a sort of decoy- duck, I fancy?
26482The young girl I have heard you speak of?
26482Then I may depend upon you?
26482Then I must do all in my power to detain her? 26482 Then I shall set the detectives at work?"
26482Then all depends upon Madeline now?
26482Then may I ask, how goes the battle?
26482Then some day will you not interpret her to me?
26482Then what do you intend?
26482Then why do n''t you speak out? 26482 Then you do n''t know where she is?"
26482Then you do n''t yet know precisely what is required of you?
26482Then you do not censure Madeline for refusing to trust the matter in the hands of a detective?
26482This is a pretty state of affairs, is it not? 26482 To see me?
26482True; and yet--"And yet?
26482True; now, the question that interests us is, how long will it be before they find out their mistake?
26482Unkind? 26482 Until when?"
26482Upon what?
26482Want to buy?
26482Want to sell?
26482Was she a miss when she married the master of Oakley?
26482Was that shot from here, my man?
26482Was there any ill- feeling between your husband and Davlin?
26482Well, Céline, where is the gentleman? 26482 Well, Hagar,"said the girl,"we are ready to go down; is the library lighted?"
26482Well, Miss Payne, what report do you bring from the enemy''s country?
26482Well, have you anything to say to this?
26482Well, how do we stand now?
26482Well, old Hagar, do you mean to tell me that I am in any particular danger just at present?
26482Well, old woman,began Cora, rather inelegantly, it must be confessed,"what on earth were you making such a fuss about, down on the terrace?
26482Well, old-- what''s your name?
26482Well, then, this man, the Professor, do you see much of him of late?
26482Well, then, where is the great danger?
26482Well, what have you to say to all this?
26482Well, what next? 26482 Well, what next?
26482Well, what remains, fair Alice?
26482Well, what was Davlin''s testimony?
26482Well, wo n''t you shake hands with an American of no special importance, Céline Leroque?
26482Well,sighed Olive,"of course you must go sometime; but you do n''t mean to go to- morrow?"
26482Well?
26482Well?
26482Well?
26482Well?
26482What a question-- through all those whiskers? 26482 What ails you, child?"
26482What are you going to do?
26482What are you saying? 26482 What can she mean?
26482What can she possibly want with me?
26482What can you explain?
26482What could you do if I put her in your power?
26482What did I say? 26482 What did he mean?
26482What did you write to Percy?
26482What do you make of her?
26482What do you mean?
26482What do you mean?
26482What do you think brought her back here just now?
26482What do you think of her?
26482What do you want of me?
26482What do you want?
26482What does it all mean?
26482What for? 26482 What for?
26482What for?
26482What game will you play?
26482What has he done to you?
26482What horrible thing are you trying to torture me with?
26482What is John Arthur or his money to you?
26482What is it that I am to find?
26482What is it, Mrs. Ralston-- you are ill?
26482What is my fate?
26482What is that?
26482What is to prevent my leaving this place now, to- night?
26482What name?
26482What rash thing do you meditate? 26482 What security have I for all this?"
26482What shall I write to the clergyman?
26482What the deuce does the fool mean?
26482What then?
26482What was the occasion of his disgrace?
26482What will Doctor Vaughan say?
26482What''s the row, Co.?
26482What, the gambler''s?
26482What-- what do you mean, Miss Payne?
26482What-- what is his other name?
26482What?
26482What?
26482What?
26482What_ can_ you be thinking of, Madeline, with that gloomy face?
26482When did this conversation take place?
26482When will this miserable complication unravel itself, or be unraveled?
26482When?
26482Where did you get it?
26482Where is it?
26482Where?
26482Where?
26482Who is he?
26482Who is keeping you a prisoner, you ask? 26482 Who is your enemy?"
26482Who was the real would- be assassin?
26482Who?
26482Why did He put love in our hearts if it must turn our lives to ashes? 26482 Why did Mr. Vaughan send you to me?"
26482Why did n''t you brandish one over me?
26482Why did you pretend to answer a ring this morning, when your mistress came down to the little parlor?
26482Why did you rob me of those papers?
26482Why do n''t you ask me what the''difficulty''was?
26482Why do you ask these things, Madeline?
26482Why do you turn against poor me, when I am trying to do my duty?
26482Why must I go like a runaway, Lucian? 26482 Why not?"
26482Why not?
26482Why should I forget my love dream,scornfully,"any more than you yours?"
26482Why wo n''t she come and see me?
26482Why,in pretty surprise,"I thought she used to be one of your servants?"
26482Why?
26482Why?
26482Why?
26482Why?
26482Widow?
26482Will you carry a note for me, Henry, and bring me back an answer? 26482 Will you come to me afterward?"
26482Will you drop that name?
26482Will you go to Madame Arthur?
26482Will you have war or peace?
26482Will you tell me what were your thoughts, Madeline?
26482Wo n''t I? 26482 Wo n''t take any?
26482Wo n''t they?
26482Wo n''t you ask me to be seated, and hear what I wish to say, Miss Weir?
26482Would I not?
26482Would monsieur be absent to- morrow?
26482Would she_ not_? 26482 Would you grieve for him, Claire?"
26482Would you know him if you saw him again?
26482Yes, where? 26482 Yes,"continued Clarence, laying his hand gently upon hers;"Madeline,--will you let me call you Madeline?--will you let me be your brother?
26482Yes,in a whisper;"was it-- my-- wife?"
26482Yes; and who would not be? 26482 Yes; how did your business prosper?"
26482Yet he played with Lucian Davlin, and lost heavily?
26482You are pardoned,coolly;"now, do you grant my request?"
26482You are sure there are no incumbrances; perfectly sure of that?
26482You doubt me? 26482 You first saw her in company with Davlin?"
26482You have perfect confidence in the skill of this doctor, step- mamma?
26482You have seen him?
26482You know that he was convicted upon the testimony of Lucian Davlin and another?
26482You know, Dr. Vaughan, that Madeline leaves us in the morning?
26482You mean to compare me to a dove,laughing afresh,"in-- a hawk''s nest?
26482You must do no such thing,cried Madeline, springing to her feet;"why did not the detectives find this out before?
26482You must know? 26482 You planned to keep him a prisoner?"
26482You plotted to become John Arthur''s wife?
26482You see the necessity for action, do you not?
26482You think he would?
26482You used to hear them talk often, I suppose?
26482You were going out, Céline?
26482You were so composed I thought--"That I was hoping to disprove your statements? 26482 You were very much attached to the lady, no doubt?"
26482You will give me your confidence, then?
26482You will wait for it?
26482You wo n''t say you are glad to see me? 26482 You?
26482You? 26482 _ Merci!_ my lady, how can I tell that?
26482_ Merci_,said Miss Arthur, pretending to stifle a yawn,"why ca n''t we all be out in this keen air and sunshine?
26482_ Our_ case?
26482***** And Lucian?
26482--the spinster could not suppress the question that was heavy on her mind--"were you ever engaged to a lady in Baltimore?"
2648252---- street; is that far, Henry?"
26482A rap sounded on the door, and a gentle voice outside said:"Claire, dear, are you there?"
26482Adams?"
26482After all, what meaning had this restless moving throng for her?
26482Again the wounded man shuts his eyes and thinks; then:"How long-- will I-- last?"
26482Allyne?"
26482Alone in her room, the face of this man looked at her again, and sitting down, she said, wearily:"Who is he?
26482Am I almost ready, Strong?"
26482Am I correct?"
26482Am I delaying the dinner?"
26482Am I right?
26482And Lucian Davlin?
26482And Madeline, taking her hand in her own, said:"Shall I tell you how I discovered all this, auntie, dear?"
26482And a maid will die rather than betray a good mistress--""Exactly, Céline-- are you going to put my hair so high?"
26482And after that, what will you do?"
26482And do you know her well?"
26482And how came she here now, robed liked a princess; she, who had certainly left her home penniless?
26482And how dare you come back here like a young princess?
26482And how dare you spy at my door?"
26482And how did he look?"
26482And how?"
26482And now his reverie was broken in upon by Olive, who entered hurriedly, saying:"Doctor Vaughan, are you here alone?
26482And now must you pollute the name of my mother, as you polluted her life?
26482And now what should she do?
26482And now, I wonder if you would n''t make a remarkably charming young widow?"
26482And now--""Now, you fear he will make an end of me?"
26482And on what errand?
26482And pray, sir, what is this young fiend to pay you for your services?"
26482And she was here only last night-- and where has she gone?
26482And then something in the face of Miss Arthur made him inquire, with a slight acceleration of speech:"But why do you ask?"
26482And was he not the same man, with the same will- power, and the same strength of magnetism?
26482And was this all since yesterday?
26482And what did they know of matters here at Oakley?
26482And what do you want with me?"
26482And what has he to do with the case?"
26482And what of Céline, or Madeline, as we may call her once more?
26482And what then?"
26482And what will you do when this play is played out?"
26482And when is your maid supposed to have seen me there?"
26482And who was the first to discover the injured man?"
26482And why not?
26482And why not?"
26482And why should I not be composed?
26482And why?
26482And yet how could she refuse him the trust he asked of her?
26482And you scarcely remember your mother, I suppose?"
26482Another brief silence, and then he asked:"Do you think there is any immediate danger-- for us?"
26482Another long pause; then Madeline glanced up at her friend, and said listlessly:"What do you intend to do with me?"
26482Another pause; then Cora said:"Is the Professor''up''to anything new?"
26482Are n''t we a very happy French maid, and a very skillful one, and a very lucky one?"
26482Are you horribly shocked?"
26482Are you in league against me, too?"
26482Are you not aware that my step- father is my enemy?"
26482Are you perfectly familiar with all the facts connected with poor Philip Girard''s sad disgrace?"
26482Are you quite sure, Céline?"
26482Arthur''s?"
26482Arthur?"
26482Arthur?"
26482Arthur?"
26482Arthur?"
26482Arthur?"
26482As soon as he could articulate, John Arthur confronted her, and taking her roughly by the shoulder, demanded:"What do you mean, you ungrateful jade?
26482At last he found voice to say:"Do you mean that you intend to keep me a prisoner?"
26482At last, she said:"Madeline, what is it you meditate?
26482At length the man asked, carelessly:"Where''s Percy?"
26482Bellair, eh?"
26482But I shall take it back with me, shall I not, love; and never lose it more?"
26482But Madeline answers him with a scornful laugh:"That I shot you in your own den?
26482But back to my widow; an absence of six months, perhaps, would be a judicious thing just now, you think?"
26482But do n''t you see, if we turn these people away now, we defeat a chief end and aim-- the liberation of Philip Girard?"
26482But he never moved until a voice, that evidently belonged to the lady of the house, said:"What is it, Peter?"
26482But he, Clarence, my hero-- why must I yield him up without a struggle?
26482But how will she come out, doctor?
26482But look here, Davlin, is n''t this a clear case enough?
26482But she made a fierce struggle and, although she could not summon up her usual insolence, she managed to gasp out, half defiantly:"What do you mean?"
26482But the detective,--may I venture to inquire?"
26482But why have you kept your room all this afternoon?"
26482But, jesting aside, how do you like the prospect?"
26482Ca n''t we make her stay?"
26482Ca n''t you keep to the track for another two months?"
26482Ca n''t you understand how one may be nervously active, may be at just that stage of bodily weariness when the mind is intensely alive?
26482Can I serve madame?"
26482Can it be possible that, after all, I have betrayed myself to her?"
26482Can it be that I am to meet you at last?"
26482Can those detectives have solved the mystery?
26482Can you manage it?"
26482Claire must be warned and saved; but how?
26482Claire, do you not believe?"
26482Claire, shall you ever run away from me again?"
26482Come, what do you say?''
26482Cora uttered a disagreeable laugh, and then replied:"How should I be able to explain?
26482Cora uttered a low, triumphant,"Ah, did he?"
26482Could it be possible that the man had found something to arouse his suspicions, and was he following up the clue on his own account?
26482Could it be possible?
26482Could it be that at the instigation of Cora she had sought this interview?
26482Could it come from that building?
26482Could the love that she surely had felt for him in those Summer days, have entirely died out in her heart?
26482Curse you, what did you try to murder me for?"
26482Davlin?"
26482Davlin?"
26482Did Cora know Lucian ten years ago-- did Percy know him for his rival?
26482Did he hear of Mr. Percy after that?"
26482Did not a woman''s love outlast her anger?
26482Did not her manner on the evening of her arrival prove that?
26482Did she die, mademoiselle?"
26482Did she know Lucian Davlin ten years ago?
26482Did she know we were there?"
26482Did they go together to Europe?"
26482Did you ever see the woman who is his partner in iniquity?
26482Do n''t you know that a lunatic ca n''t hold property?
26482Do n''t you know that you are legally_ dead_?
26482Do n''t you think I need one?"
26482Do n''t you think she is too bad?
26482Do they know each other?
26482Do they never question your blue glasses?"
26482Do you choose to remain here and be pointed at by every boor in Oakley, as the man who married an adventuress, a gambler''s accomplice?
26482Do you dare to defy me?"
26482Do you know, Olive, they are going to erect a stone over her, bearing my name?"
26482Do you suppose I am going to allow that sweet girl to be deceived?"
26482Do you suppose I will let that man think that I am completely annihilated?
26482Do you think I could have made this confession to you if my weakness were not a thing of the past?
26482Do you think I want that man''s love?"
26482Do you think he will trust his knotty cases to the Expert''s Daughter?"
26482Do you think him too good for it?"
26482Do you think my heart could break for such a man?"
26482Do you think that I will let my pride stay me when, by exposing you, I can complete my vengeance upon John Arthur?"
26482Do you think to defy me?
26482Do you understand me?
26482Do you understand now why I have allowed you to persecute John Arthur?"
26482Do you want to give it up?"
26482Do you want to see her?"
26482Do you wish to hear them?"
26482Does Mr. John Arthur know that you were once my--""Dupe?
26482Does she yet know how he loves her, I wonder?"
26482Does the girl know anything of this?"
26482Every ear, do we say?
26482Finally he summed up his case on his fingers as follows:"First, are they brother and sister?
26482Finally, he lifted his head from the hand that had supported it, and said:"Since your master has returned to town, how does he employ his time?"
26482First, then,"said the doctor, in his kindly manner,"how long have you been with your present master?"
26482First, then--""First, what position do you intend to take towards me?"
26482Girard''s?"
26482Girard?"
26482Girard?"
26482Going straight to her, she placed the picture in her hand, and said:"Do you know that face?"
26482Got a red face-- toothache did n''t make you a trifle lightheaded, did it?
26482Had they made any attempt to find the one who took the papers?
26482Had you succeeded in escaping on the midnight express, who, think you, would have been summoned to meet you on your arrival in the city?"
26482Has she not?
26482Have n''t I had enough of her for one day?
26482Have some wine, Ellen?"
26482Have some?
26482Have they asked you to come?"
26482Have you guessed?"
26482He fell back a pace as he said:"What-- terms?"
26482He had said that he cared for her, was not that enough?
26482He was frightened when he saw this Mrs. Arthur, and my words reassured him; why?
26482Here was an old servant who hated the master of Oakley; might she not prove useful, after a time?
26482His eyes are unusual ones; did you ever see his mouth?"
26482His voice dies away, as Clarence, bending over him, answers gently:"You mean the lady that stood near the door, whose face was turned away?"
26482His was a rather uncommon face, and then the association--""Just so,"interrupting her;"and would he know you?"
26482Holding the card in his hand he said:"Well, I will try and tell you what I want done; that is, if there is time-- how soon do you leave the train?"
26482How could I know I should love thee, away, When I did not love thee near?"
26482How could she listen to him, talk to him, with anything like sisterly freedom, and not prove false to her resolve to further his cause with Claire?
26482How could she rebel?
26482How could you get the medicines?"
26482How dare you seek me out?"
26482How did he act when he saw me, Céline?"
26482How else could I be kept shut up a prisoner in my own house?"
26482How had she gained the ascendancy over every one in that house?
26482How much longer must I conceal my real feelings?
26482How much longer must I smile upon these wretches?
26482How the deuce did we let this fellow pounce down upon us like this?
26482How''s the fair spinster to- day?"
26482I believe I have not the honor of knowing-- ah, yes, this is Miss Arthur;_ Aunt Ellen_, how do you do?"
26482I ca n''t bear to bid you go, and yet, if you must, why not leave me for a little time?
26482I ca n''t lose a day to say good- by to him, can I?"
26482I could fancy the brain behind such eyes to be--""What?"
26482I did n''t have these premises watched for nothing, did I?
26482I hope you do not find your present duties too heavy?"
26482I must talk about her, else how can we settle anything?
26482I say, Co., do n''t you think your appetite is rather better than is exactly expected, or in order, for a widow in the second stage of her grief?"
26482I say, now,_ did_ you think I would be worse this morning?"
26482I think I have hinted at the truth upon one or two occasions?"
26482I think she will see the propriety of the move, do n''t you?"
26482I thought he was safe in Cuba?"
26482I will leave you to solitude and repose for a little time, shall I?"
26482I wrote you that she had a lover of that name; did it occur to you that it might be he?"
26482If I may not ask how you made this discovery, may I not, at least, beg to know why you make this demand?"
26482If Miss Payne proposed to appoint for herself a guardian, who would she select?
26482If she came for revenge why did she not denounce him?
26482If she has secured the medicines, and they are safe not to run away in her absence, then what is it she means?"
26482If so, did she come for love, or-- for revenge?
26482If the old man dies, and if I can ferret out the mystery, for I believe there is one,_ who knows but that two fortunes may come into my hands_?
26482In short, could mademoiselle spare her to- morrow, just for one little day?
26482In that flask?"
26482Is he still unable to be about?"
26482Is it to be as I wish?
26482Is it''good by,''dear?"
26482Is it_ you_, you little virago?"
26482Is n''t it prime, Co.?"
26482Is not the wintry world beautiful?"
26482Is that so?"
26482Is this lady my new step- mamma?"
26482Is this what you wanted to say to me?
26482It has come at last,"she wailed,"and now, what will she do?"
26482It is lovelier than Summer, is it not?"
26482It is only one night sooner, and, after all, what matter?
26482It was intended for her, and now, who had instigated it?
26482It was now five minutes past the time appointed; could it be there was foul play?
26482It''s an ugly word, and, after all, are we not both in the same boat?"
26482Jarvis nodded ruefully, and then asked:"Where do you land?"
26482Jarvis thought furiously for a moment; then turning square upon his interlocutor, said, significantly:"So there are stolen papers?"
26482Le Guise aware that my step- papa believes me to be dead?"
26482Lucian Davlin will soon be here,--will you please go?"
26482Lucian looked out upon the evergreens and graveled walks of Oakley, and said, under his breath:"Will we?"
26482Lucian smiled maliciously, removed his cigar from between his lips, described a smoke wreath in mid- air, replaced his weed, and said:"Do I?
26482Luckily no one noted his start of surprise and quick glance of recognition, and Madeline said:"Is not that my step- father''s attendant, doctor?
26482Madame has desired some service, perhaps?
26482Madame must know that my mistress is not always smooth in temper?"
26482Madeline laughed, saying:"Do you want to try that?"
26482Madeline looked up in surprise at the question, and answered it by asking another:"Have you?"
26482Madeline pushes the message into her hand, saying:"If I have done such wonderful things, why do you refuse to obey me?
26482Madeline''s face flushed hotly;"feared what?"
26482May I come to Bellair, say on Monday next?
26482May I come?"
26482May I depend upon you?"
26482Meantime, ring for anything you may need, wo n''t you?"
26482Might the humblest of your adorers be permitted to ask where you were going, most regal lady?"
26482Miss Arthur looked down upon her sharply, and asked,"What did they say?"
26482Miss Payne, Madeline, will it ever be Summer again?"
26482Mourn him?
26482Mr. Davlin, at what hour do you dine?"
26482Mrs. Arthur, is this man that you call your brother really such, or is he, too, in your plot?"
26482My poor child, do you know the character and occupation of this man?"
26482My sister will surely do nothing that her brother can not sanction?"
26482No; why should she?"
26482Not enough that you follow me with your hatred because my mother''s own will be mine at your death?
26482Not enough that you would barter my life-- yes, my_ life_--for gold, sell my heart''s blood for your own ease and comfort?
26482Not like her hero?
26482Now she lifted her head and asked:"Madeline, have you formed any sort of a theory, as to how all this might affect Olive and Philip?"
26482Now the wounded man, Percy, stated that he recognized the man who struck him?"
26482Now, be reasonable; what can you do?"
26482Now, is there anything I can do for you?"
26482Now, may I begin to cross- question you?"
26482Now, what do you think of that?"
26482Now, will you obey so tyrannical a brother, and swallow his first brotherly prescription without making a face?"
26482Of course, of course; go ahead; who is she?"
26482Oh, mother, mother, are all women wronged like us?"
26482Old Verage will be rejoiced to find you here in the city; what then?"
26482Once, in the brief absence of Olive, she had said to Doctor Vaughan:"Mrs. Girard has told me of her sister; is she very lovely?
26482Or was it because he was there?
26482Or will you leave my mother''s home and mine, and cease to usurp my rights?
26482Percy beloved of Claire; Percy who brought Philip Girard to his doom; Percy the lover of a rich old maid, are ye one and the same?
26482Percy brushed an imaginary particle of dust off his sleeve with the greatest care, and then lifted his eyes and said, interrogatively:"Well?"
26482Percy?"
26482Percy?"
26482Percy?"
26482Perhaps you could explain the mystery, Mrs. Arthur?
26482Ralston?"
26482Second, taking it for granted they are not, what is their game?
26482She had come and gone, and how much the wiser was he?
26482She had jeopardized her liberty, for what might not occur, now that this girl could demand access to the imprisoned old man, her step- father?
26482She had sought this interview to question her concerning the adventure of the morning, and now might she not be of still more service?
26482She hesitated over the name, and Madeline, perceiving it, said:"You think Weir is not my name?"
26482She looked up into the face of her visitor and said, with her characteristic frankness of speech:"Who sent you to me?"
26482She must walk somewhere, then why not here?
26482She ought to take Claire''s place in my home, ought she not?
26482She understood his meaning and replied, calmly:"Cold?
26482She understood this somber inflection, and said:"He''ordered''you?
26482She will grieve for a time, perhaps, but not for long; then-- then she will become_ his_ wife, while I-- What right has she to all the blessings?"
26482She would not let him be too kind to her, rather let him think her ungrateful, anything-- what could it matter now?
26482Should she come now?
26482So,"giving her hair an angry jerk,"you perched yourself aloft on a pinnacle, did n''t you?
26482Stepping to his side, she put out her hand, saying:"What an exquisite picture-- Madame Cora, is it not, Henry?"
26482Surely not your wife?"
26482Surely you do not blame me for my silence while you sang?"
26482Sweeping across the room, she confronted the owner of the eyes, demanding haughtily:"Who are you?
26482Sweetheart, will you come?"
26482Taking his cue from the"make up"of the detective, Clarence, after giving him an expressive glance, said, easily,"Sold your stock?"
26482That evening, sitting beside her lover, she said to him, carelessly:"By the way, Edward, were you ever in Baltimore?"
26482That name_ will_ mix itself up with my fate web, and why?
26482That personage approached the invalid, saying:"You sent for me to introduce me to this gentleman, I suppose, Cora?"
26482The figure came nearer, and a voice, that was certainly not Madeline''s, said:"Is the gentleman going to old Hagar''s cottage?"
26482The gentleman stroked his blonde whiskers, and smiled languidly as he answered:"In Baltimore?
26482The girl smiled up at him as she replied:"Certainly; have not you?"
26482The train is certainly due; are you sure he will come?
26482The"doctor"beckoned Henry to approach, and said, affably:"Well, and how is our patient, Henry?"
26482Then I came out stealthy as a cat, and found that he was going away, and the reason--""The reason?"
26482Then abruptly,"Where''s Claire?"
26482Then he asked:"What do you make of Miss Payne?"
26482Then he asks, in that dying half- whisper, the only tone he ever will use:"You think-- I-- will-- die?"
26482Then making a wry face and evidently referring to the wine:"Is it very bitter?"
26482Then she had clung to him with trusting affection; now,--how did she look upon him now?
26482Then she turned to Davlin again:"But where is my step- papa?
26482Then turning to Céline:"Girl, who is that woman?"
26482Then you are good friends again?"
26482Then you do avoid me?"
26482Then, abruptly,"When does Claire return to Baltimore?"
26482Then, abruptly:"How should you have felt, similarly placed?"
26482Then, after a pause,"so something remained to be settled?"
26482Then, as if struck by a sudden thought,"How long will you be out of town?"
26482Then, as if the information might bear upon the question of the toilet,"Does mademoiselle know that Monsieur Davlin left an hour ago?"
26482Then, as mademoiselle would not especially need her, would she graciously give her the day?
26482Then, in a guarded tone:"And you would make no attempt to overturn their finely laid plans?"
26482Then, regretfully,"ca n''t you stay another week, dear?"
26482Then, rising,"Now choose; will you remain here as my ally, or leave in disgrace, and a prisoner, as my enemy?"
26482Then, she said:"Mr. Allyne, is it necessary that Mrs. Ralston should go at once?"
26482Then, turning about she asked, abruptly:"Have you a good maid, step- mamma?"
26482Then, turning again to Miss Arthur:"Do n''t you intend to speak to me, Aunt Ellen?"
26482Then, turning to Madeline:"Shall I break to him the news of your arrival?"
26482These hands,"holding them up to view,"have a very strong cause, let me tell you-- and you think you would like to help me?"
26482They say she was pretty, and you are the first pretty woman I have seen in these parts, Co."[ Illustration:"More cream, Monsieur?"
26482This happened how long ago?"
26482This is what she penned, and looking up she asked:"What is the number of this place, Henry?"
26482This man, who was Davlin''s companion,--what was his name?"
26482To Bellair?
26482To- morrow-- what will it bring, I wonder?"
26482Twenty- five minutes; what if her messenger should fail her?
26482Twenty- six; oh, how slow, how slow!--twenty- seven; had the clock stopped?
26482Was it a transformation scene?
26482Was it man or woman?
26482Was it only yesterday that she listened to his tender love words, beneath the old tree in Oakley woods?
26482Was it, as she alleged, because she had changed her mind, and wanted to be mistress of her own?
26482Was she not dependent upon his bounty for her daily bread, even?
26482Was this the girl he had thought to mold as his wife, this fearless, defiant creature?
26482Well, Mr. Davlin, has it occurred to you that heaven might not be a congenial climate for me?"
26482Well, they come, the brother and the family physician-- do you follow me?"
26482What ails Lucian Davlin?
26482What are you talking about?"
26482What can my feelings have to do with your case?"
26482What could be more natural than that I should desire you to have every care and comfort that I can desire?
26482What did he say, girl?"
26482What did he telegraph you?"
26482What did it mean?
26482What did she mean?
26482What do you know about her?"
26482What for?"
26482What had become of Madeline Payne?
26482What had broken loose now?
26482What have you done with her?"
26482What he is like; and why?"
26482What is the Mystery like?"
26482What is the address?"
26482What is this that she sees?
26482What others?"
26482What proof have I that these people will respect my feelings?"
26482What time is it?"
26482What was I to do then?
26482What was it, she wondered, that made people mad?
26482What was the girl meditating now?
26482What was to become of Madeline, now that they had brought her back to life?
26482What will become of poor Philip if she does not?"
26482What woman would?
26482What would you answer me?"
26482What, then, could be her motive?
26482When can I find you alone?"
26482When they entered the grounds of the manor, he said, half deprecatingly:"Madeline, may I ask this one question?"
26482When you told me that he believed you to have left home because of an unkind step- mother, was that true?"
26482Where did you go, my dear, when you left my bed and board so very unceremoniously?
26482Where do you intend going, Madeline?"
26482Where had she been all these months?
26482Where had she been all these months?
26482Where is she?
26482Where was Henry?
26482Who had been caring for her during all these months?
26482Who is keeping me a prisoner, and wherefore?
26482Who were her friends, for friends she must have found?
26482Who were they?
26482Who-- was-- the lady?"
26482Whom did she mean, may I ask?"
26482Why are you here?
26482Why did I not ask for his first name, and a description of him?
26482Why did n''t you take it?"
26482Why did not this occur to me sooner?
26482Why did you crush her in life, and blaspheme her in death?
26482Why did you deny your love for so noble a man?"
26482Why did you drive her daughter from the home that was hers, to escape from your cruelty, your insults, your avarice?
26482Why did you make my mother almost a prisoner in her own home?
26482Why do n''t you go on with your hair?"
26482Why do n''t you keep out of my house?"
26482Why had her presence in the house, if she had been here, been kept from him?
26482Why had she allowed them to think her dead?
26482Why must one be so young and yet so miserable?
26482Why, I ca n''t catch even one glimpse of red and yellow damask, not one flutter of gold fringe; have the_ parvenus_ been taking lessons in good taste?
26482Why, Madeline?"
26482Will Philip be released at last, released with every doubt cleared away, every suspicion removed?
26482Will you decide for me at once, Maidie?
26482Will you follow me?"
26482Will you get me some writing material, please?"
26482Will you have all your guilty past, your shameful present, made known?
26482Will you leave this place with me to- morrow night?"
26482Will you meet me, with a carriage, at the south corner of this block, in one hour, and take me to Mrs. Girard, who has offered me a shelter?
26482Will you not try to love me?"
26482Will you please leave me alone, quite alone, for a little while?"
26482Will you please ring that bell?"
26482Will you promise?"
26482Will you put off this romantic marriage-- to oblige me?"
26482Will you trust me so far as to answer a few simple questions?"
26482Wo n''t you give us your opinion as to the achievements of our little friend?"
26482Would he be able to control Cora in this new emergency?
26482Would it be safe to stay?
26482Would it be wise to go?
26482Yes, I see; is your master always as hard to please as to- day, Henry?
26482You did not come out here in such bewitching toilet to tell me that my charmer eats?"
26482You do n''t recall any time mentioned?"
26482You do n''t think I came to spend the winter, do you?"
26482You foolish fellow, ca n''t you see that the child loves you and is striving to do a Quixotic thing by giving you up to her friend?
26482You have not got to look for stolen diamonds, have you?"
26482You say you do not love another; could you learn to love me?"
26482You thought you were ahead of me this time, did n''t you?
26482You will not be afraid, dear, left alone for a little while in a great hotel?"
26482You will not mention it?"
26482You will trust me, and confide in me?"
26482You will try to forget?"
26482[ Illustration:"What is my dead wife to you?"
26482and how?"
26482and madame-- how long has she been his wife?"
26482cried Verage, as if seized by a new thought;"I say, now, what is all this questioning about?"
26482do you think my friends do not know all?
26482ejaculated Davlin,"what does it mean?
26482gasped the woman; adding, after a moment of silence,"Is he your lover as well as--""Yours?"
26482grumbled the old woman;"what do I know?
26482he cried, angrily,"do you think I am a fool?
26482her voice rising in angry scorn,"Do you ask me_ why_?
26482how came you here?
26482inquiringly:"Going far out?"
26482is it possible?"
26482not Percy?"
26482or will you accept my terms?"
26482screeched the spinster,"what was that?"
26482she ejaculated,"who on earth can be plowing through this storm?
26482sniffed Hagar, rather unnecessarily;"all because I think she is too young, and too pretty, to be sacrificed like the others--""Like the others?
26482then you_ are_ my new step- mamma?
26482what brings you here like this?
26482what do you want with me?
26482what does he mean?
26482what has happened to the people across the way?
26482what is it?
26482what is it?"
26482what woman ever saw guile in the eyes of the man she loved?
26482what''s all this?
26482where?
26482why not?"
26482with increased impatience;"who did what, girl?"
26482you did?
26482your accident: how was that?"
38470A little dumb boy with black eyes, all alone, with plenty of money, and a grin when asked if he were lost?
38470A young lady?
38470Am I-- dreaming you?
38470And did one of the ladies occupy that room with the closed shutters?
38470Ca n''t we head him off? 38470 Can it have anything to do with Maurice?"
38470Can she be using that other room, too?
38470Could it be that she was sorry?
38470Did Doran marry the other girl?
38470Did Helen Hartland kill herself? 38470 Did you say you thought of spending a few days on Long Island?"
38470Do n''t I know you''ve been running away-- to my sorrow?
38470Do n''t you remember I told you, Violet, what Mr. Combes said before?
38470Do n''t you think I can be as useful to you as you can to me?
38470Do you know him?
38470Do you suppose I''m_ afraid_?
38470Do you think I''d ask anything in return? 38470 Do you think you can force me to accuse the Tostinis?
38470Do you think you can-- oh, do you_ think_ you can?
38470Doctor Ra-- mps?
38470Does that sound we hear, come from it-- like a bell-- a funeral bell tolling?
38470Does the new tenant live there altogether?
38470For heaven''s sake what is it?
38470Foreign, is n''t it?
38470Good heavens, Lord John, are you going to leave us in the lurch? 38470 Have n''t you mistaken the room, sir?"
38470Have you a note for me?
38470Have you ever met the tenant?
38470Have you got her dug up?
38470How are you, dear boy?
38470How can it be cleared up by either of those two?
38470How dare you presume that I have a right to resent any such reference?
38470How do you do, stranger?
38470How do you do?
38470How do you know Haslemere wrote that letter?
38470How often have I told thee to depart from my door and not annoy the honoured ones who come to buy? 38470 I hope you do n''t mind my surprising you?"
38470I suppose you''re assigning seats for people who want to sit alone at these small tables?
38470If I could get him for Jenny, what would Jenny do for me in return?
38470If I tell you a piece of good news, will it make you better, or will it give you a temperature?
38470If I''d wanted to kill the girl, I would n''t have done it in a way to incriminate myself, would I?
38470If you thought you''d unearthed the clue to a mystery, why did n''t you advertise yourself by pointing it out to the police a year and a half ago?
38470Is Mr. Roger Odell the one fortunate person to whom you''ve been able to give a table to himself?
38470Is he in the_ fondouk_ after all?
38470Is it fire? 38470 Is n''t the gentleman an English officer, Lord John Hasle?"
38470Is that white_ mehari_ yours?
38470Is the lady downstairs?
38470Is there an answer?
38470It''s a bargain, is n''t it, Carr?
38470May I motor you and Roger to Pine Cliff, if you must go?
38470May I take it away and keep it till to- morrow morning, to work out my plot with?
38470Miss Garth?
38470Miss Garth?
38470No appeal to my pity?
38470Now, how_ could_ I have known there_ was_ a jewel coming with a Miss Gibson on this ship, if I was n''t all right?
38470Now, what can_ he_ be doing here-- if it is he?
38470Oh, Lord John,she called distressfully,"is n''t it dreadful?
38470Oh, it''s you again, is it?
38470Oh, what''s the matter?
38470Oh, will I?
38470Oh,_ that''s_ what you''ve been working up to, is it?
38470One of the ladies may have ridden the_ mehari_?
38470Revenge for what?
38470Shall we not be wise while there is time, and go back before our own tracks are blotted out? 38470 She''s going to join a Sisterhood?"
38470Somebody''s afraid I might get something out of you-- what?
38470Supposing I am, and can prove it?
38470Tell me about this animal and what is the matter with it?
38470That was Doctor Rameses of New York, was n''t it?
38470That''s enough, I guess, sir?
38470The keys on Ned''s body were handed over to the Misses Callender, then?
38470They have other guests by this time, I suppose?
38470Think how he helped us in our trouble? 38470 Well, what have you got to tell me?"
38470Well?
38470Were n''t you a bit premature mentioning the Felborn?
38470What did I tell the honoured gentleman?
38470What did you tell her?
38470What do you make of the thing?
38470What do you think-- what do you know? 38470 What does she so violently want, if it''s permitted to ask?"
38470What happened here?
38470What has become of the white_ mehari_?
38470What have you done?
38470What if Maida left a note for you in the shrine, hoping you''d have the sense to look?
38470What is the matter? 38470 What lie about her could have been told to my brother?"
38470What rope?
38470What sort of person rode it?
38470What the devil is the name or plot of your play to me?
38470What_ can_ Nella be doing?
38470What_ shall_ we do?
38470Where is the white camel?
38470Where would you like to sit, sir?
38470Where-- where----"Was it? 38470 Who is it you are accusing, Lord John?"
38470Who is the professor of hypnotism who gives Miss Hartland lessons?
38470Who is there?
38470Who-- where, sir?
38470Who_ killed_ Perry and Ned Graham?
38470Why all?
38470Why did you wire''Do n''t come to the dock?''
38470Why do you ask?
38470Why not be frank about''Jenny''? 38470 Why should I want you to take someone else, Sister?"
38470Why should she give him up? 38470 Will duplicates do for you, or do I lose my stage- box?"
38470You are Lord John Hasle, I believe?
38470You do n''t know, then?
38470You found the good tenant?
38470You know-- don''t you-- you who know everything? 38470 You mean, your ideas are for sale?"
38470You think something of yourself, do n''t you?
38470You wo n''t tell Don that I said I hated him and threw his picture on the floor, will you?
38470You''re mighty intelligent, are n''t you?
38470You''ve no doubt now as to what your destination is?
38470Your hotel?
38470_ Have_ you an inspiration?
38470About that rendezvous-- do you consent to my appointing the place?"
38470After all, why is n''t one day the same as another?
38470And by the by, has''Jenny''any personal interest in a little boy of four or five who is dumb?"
38470And is there danger in opening the door?
38470And yet, when she had asked"What else could I do, if I did n''t wish to do this?"
38470Are you afraid?"
38470Are you pleased?"
38470As it was I could only ask myself,"Is this the everlasting enemy?
38470But how can you, a stranger,_ know_ anything?"
38470But how could I be sure that he was right?
38470But how could I, a stranger, do what Roger had failed to do?
38470But how to convince him of what I was myself convinced, with the disjointed bits of evidence in my possession?
38470But maybe you was dreamin''?"
38470But none of them can have got in here?
38470But now I''ve paid him back, have n''t I, putting him in touch with you?"
38470But what did it see after that?
38470But what grudge had he against me?
38470But what has Julius Felborn''s safe to do with the case?"
38470But what''s money_ for_?
38470But which should I choose?
38470But will you meanwhile be kind enough to answer two easy questions?
38470But would you care to anchor now?
38470But, after all, how did I_ know_ that the"woman dressed like a nurse"was Anne Garth?
38470But-- how is it you''re here?
38470By Jove, it tells a tale-- what?
38470Ca n''t you save me?"
38470Could he be running off with anybody''s wife or daughter?
38470Could he direct me to an agent who would have the letting of apartments in that neighbourhood?
38470Could it be possible that Doctor Rameses had wanted a"cat''s- paw"for some new chestnuts to be pulled out of the fire?
38470Could it be that her loyalty had stood this greatest test, or had the evidence and the Head Sister''s hatred done their work?
38470Country air will be as good for a tired nurse of wounded officers as it is for the wounded officers themselves,_ n''est ce pas_?
38470Dear Roger, is the car ready?"
38470Did n''t he have some job in the mountains?
38470Did she love and trust her now?
38470Did you come in a car?
38470Do you know anyone in the police force-- high enough up to do you a favour?"
38470Do you know what she goes to New York for so often?"
38470Do you know why?
38470Do you see?"
38470Do you suppose I want you to_ die_?"
38470Do you think I''d ever bring her into my brother''s house until he and his wife had begged her forgiveness, and atoned as far as in their power?"
38470Do you wish to send word to him?
38470Does she-- believe I''m dead?"
38470Does that name bring back anything?"
38470EPISODE VII THE WATCHING EYE"What shall I do?"
38470Each hour, each moment counted: yet how was I to learn which of the houses was Maida''s prison?
38470First, are you Mr. Roger Odell of New York?"
38470Has she left him in the Sisterhood House?"
38470Have I your leave to repeat these ramblings to her?"
38470Have they got the man who made Helen Hartland kill herself?"
38470Have you got the key or the combination of that big safe in the wall behind the desk?"
38470He looked at me as he flashed past, and it was as if he said,"So it''s_ you_, is it?"
38470He''ll go back there, and----""But where is he now?"
38470How could I be sure the letters were genuine?
38470How could it be, as I had n''t heard the story when I began to work?
38470How did he know that I existed?
38470I admit I thought of something else----""Oh, is there something else?
38470I had n''t heard of it?
38470I heard him plead,"Do n''t you_ know_ me, Jen?"
38470I heard its pounding in my ears, and through the murmurous sound the question whispered,"What if the key wo n''t fit?
38470I thought-- was Lady Haslemere not at home after all?"
38470I wonder if the man- ghost was going to it?
38470I wonder why they keep it locked?
38470I''ve given you time enough to make up your mind, have n''t I, Miss Gibson?"
38470If I do the trick for you I''ll expect a box for the play on the first night, eh?"
38470If you''re well enough by the time it reaches you, to crawl about, ca n''t you see him?
38470In what way?"
38470Is he here?"
38470Is it another trick of theirs?"
38470Is that name familiar to you?"
38470Is that true?
38470Is the name of your friend''s friend Paulling?"
38470Is the young lady all right?"
38470It was empty when it came to me, but----""But you put into it some of the same poison Antonio Tostini made up for Perry and Ned Callender- Graham?"
38470Now I ask myself where was my prophetic soul wandering at that moment?
38470Now, can that be the clue to Roger Odell''s veto?"
38470Now, is n''t it more likely that a mummy should be wanted by an Egyptian than another?
38470Now,_ could_ I have imagined the whole thing?
38470Or-- am I a monomaniac on that subject?"
38470Rod, what do you_ think_ of me?
38470Rudely to refuse a favour asked by a lady, or-- to lose, for ever, perhaps, my one hope?
38470She found herself wondering:"Why does Sister advise me not to think of Lord John?
38470She thought,"Why should he go on loving me when I''ve given him no real hope?
38470Suppose we work together?
38470Supposing_ they_ did that?
38470Surely it was a trifling detail that I should witness the ceremony of their taking over the contents of the tin box?
38470Teano?"
38470Tell me, Lord John, as we go-- how did you find out-- the secret?
38470The noise I had heard-- that sound like the"click"of a lock?
38470The thing I''d give my head to find out is,_ who spread the lie_?"
38470Then a thought jumped into my mind:"What if this woman is the one I saw in the auto outside the theatre?"
38470Then he fell into a long, sound sleep, and waking, his first words were:"What''s happened since I fell?
38470There are several apartment houses in it, are there not?
38470Think we''ll find him in now if you take me to call?"
38470Was her instinct right?
38470Was it merely to hide a disfigurement, I wondered, or was there a more powerful reason?
38470Was n''t it funny, there was a picture of_ you_, too, and I mentioned knowing you?
38470Was the command to rise and look at the mummy- case a test of her physical courage after what she had heard?
38470Was_ I_ chosen because if_ she_ died, I could be blamed-- a prison bird, with a black heart too full of evil to be reclaimed by kindness?
38470Were the supposed aunt and sister of Ahmed Ali Bey, Maida and her companion, or had I taken a false trail?
38470Were they for her mistress?
38470What could be the motive for such double precautions of concealment?
38470What could he do if Nella were unable to open the door?
38470What did my brother and sister- in- law intend to do, to atone to my wife?
38470What have they done to you?"
38470What if he could help Maida?
38470What mattered it, in such circumstances, whether the family welcome came before or after the wedding?
38470What ships sail to- day?"
38470What would Helen Hartland''s poor little paw avail him for that work?
38470What''s happened?"
38470What, you walked?
38470What?
38470Where would he go and spend his earnings?"
38470Where, then, should I look for them?
38470Whether Nicky knew that he was a pawn in a game of chess, who could tell?
38470Which way did the caravan go?"
38470Who can tell how long it has been in our family?
38470Who''s the most influential man you know in New York?"
38470Why did she let it go?
38470Why does she hint horrid things of him, yet take me where we may meet?"
38470Why go out of his way to hurt a woman?
38470Why have you warned Julius Felborn that if he brings out Carr Price''s play,_ The Key_, you''ll quash it?"
38470Why should I be interested?
38470Why should the Head Sister single this girl out?
38470Why then, if Rameses were the hidden enemy, did he let his best chance go by?
38470Why were they taking it?
38470Why, after what Haslemere did----""Oh, but who knows what might happen some day?"
38470Will you call at Roger''s house about two o''clock?
38470Will you call me up, or if not, will you send a line by messenger to say at what hour I shall go round again to make the"shrine"burglar proof?
38470Will you tell me what Haslemere can possibly have done?"
38470With what other object than to get the mummy?
38470Wo n''t you let me atone-- won''t you let me help?
38470Would I, as her countryman, help her out of just_ one_ scrape, and she would n''t get into another?
38470Would New York be too strenuous?"
38470Would she be as kind if she_ knew_?"
38470Would the day come in this world, or must I solve the greatest secret of all before I solved Maida''s?
38470Would they kindly let me know, in the reading- room, when Mr. Odell arrived?
38470Would you recognise it?"
38470You give me your word you will make no noise if I show you the secret of our place?"
38470You went down under the water----""Ah, you saw that from the yacht, did you?"
38470You''ll tell him-- nothing?"
38470_ Can_ that be where_ you_ come in on this?
38470_ Have you taken this girl away_?
38470exclaimed Grace, half rising,"you asked us here to tell us_ that_?
37913A bit dictatorial, are n''t you? 37913 A name?"
37913All quibbling aside, do n''t the scratch on her arm look as though somebody had shot a dose of poison into her with a needle?
37913And do n''t you think you had better be reasonable and accept Mr. Shei''s conditions? 37913 And do n''t you think you had better obey Mr. Shei''s wishes and leave the city immediately?"
37913And just what do you propose to do?
37913And the laugh-- how do you account for that?
37913And the young lady?
37913And were n''t you a bit precipitate in jumping at the conclusion that the bullet was intended for you? 37913 And what are you going to do with the money after you have acquired it by such vile methods, granting that your scheme succeeds?"
37913And what did you see while you were leaning against the pillar?
37913And when you have found him, inspector, what are you going to do with him?
37913And you thought I was protecting The Gray Phantom? 37913 Another cup of coffee, dad?"
37913Any luck?
37913Anything wrong?
37913Are n''t you overlooking something, inspector?
37913Are n''t you well?
37913Are you all white- livered kittens?
37913Are you convinced now?
37913Are you going to let one man bluff you? 37913 Are you sure?"
37913Azurecrest?
37913Azurecrest?
37913But how do you account for the fact that Fairspeckle did n''t carry out his original programme?
37913But the telephone message?
37913But what was the object? 37913 But why?"
37913By the way, doctor,Slade went on,"I hope the antidote is safely hidden?"
37913By the way, when do we inoculate the young lady?
37913Ca n''t you see that you are outnumbered eleven to one?
37913Ca n''t you speak?
37913Campaign?
37913Could n''t you have shown a little more originality?
37913Defeated?
37913Did n''t expect to see me so soon again-- eh, doctor?
37913Did she mean,inquired someone,"that Mr. Shei was here-- that she saw him?"
37913Do n''t you know there''s a warrant out for your arrest?
37913Do n''t you know?
37913Do n''t you realize that there''s nothing you can do? 37913 Do n''t you see?
37913Do n''t you think it strange that the murderer should go to all that risk and trouble to remove the body?
37913Do with him? 37913 Do you know where you are?"
37913Do you mean that they are going to kill me?
37913Eh?
37913Eh?
37913Fairspeckle? 37913 For_ me_?"
37913Glad?
37913Granted,said The Phantom, smiling,"but is that any reason for exterminating the feminine sex?"
37913Great bracer for fagged nerves, eh? 37913 Haiuto,"inquired Mr. Fairspeckle,"how much chloral did you mix in Mr. Vanardy''s cup of coffee?"
37913Have n''t you any idea?
37913Have you any idea where your daughter might have gone? 37913 Have you discovered how the murderers got in and out of the building?"
37913Have you?
37913How about the motive for the murder?
37913How about the motive?
37913How can anybody tell what a woman thinks? 37913 How did you happen to leave your seat?"
37913How did you know?
37913How do you like my play?
37913How is Miss Hardwick?
37913How many letters did you intercept?
37913How the devil did you get in?
37913How-- how do you know that?
37913How?
37913I suppose we''re alone?
37913I suppose,Slade went on in melancholy tones,"that she told you the usual story of mistreatment and persecution?"
37913I trust you had a restful night, Miss Hardwick?
37913If I tell you, will you release me at once?
37913If Miss Darrow wanted to tip you off that Mr. Shei was in the house, why did n''t she say so in plain words?
37913If he is n''t, why should he be typing those notices? 37913 If you''ve got something on your mind, why do n''t you spring it?"
37913In plain words, then, it''s a case of murder?
37913Is it because you realize that, if I am killed, Tagala will die with me?
37913Is n''t he here?
37913Is n''t it just like a woman to act first and look into her reasons afterward?
37913Is n''t it strange that he did not give you his new address?
37913Is n''t that a distinction without a difference? 37913 Is n''t that strange?"
37913Is n''t the air stifling?
37913Is that the reason, Slade?
37913Is there any reason why anyone should wish to put you out of the way?
37913It''s-- it ca n''t be-- The Gray Phantom?
37913Keeping something up your sleeve again?
37913Miss Darrow saw him, did n''t she?
37913Miss Hardwick?
37913Mr. Vanardy not here? 37913 Mr. Vanardy, eh?"
37913Murderer? 37913 No?"
37913Not going away?
37913Not to see what?
37913Now, is n''t that queer?
37913Oh, you mean Miss Hardwick?
37913Pardon, but have n''t we met before?
37913See that cop?
37913Shall I switch on the lights?
37913Shot?
37913So,said the scientist in queer tones,"you think you know him?"
37913Something queer about that old goat''s disappearance-- eh, inspector?
37913Something you had heard or seen?
37913Speak a little louder, ca n''t you?
37913Standing up, then?
37913Strange that the same idea should have come to both of us, is n''t it? 37913 Suppose I were to refuse?"
37913Surprised?
37913That''s why I sent for you, Miss----"You have found no trace of the body?
37913The--_what_?
37913The_ only_ reason, Miss Hardwick?
37913Then there is n''t the slightest chance of Mr. Shei''s plans falling through?
37913Then will you please tell me,said Culligore, his tones both gentle and insistent,"why did n''t you come out with what you knew last night?"
37913Then you have abandoned your intention of dragging me over to headquarters?
37913Then you have received no word from her? 37913 Then---- Is n''t it odd that I do n''t seem able to remember a thing after that?"
37913This is Azurecrest, is n''t it?
37913To me?
37913True, but he----"And did n''t you see him typing the notices with Mr. Shei''s name at the bottom?
37913Typewriter?
37913Very anxious to learn Tagala''s whereabouts-- aren''t you, Slade? 37913 Vincent Starr?"
37913Warning?
37913Was your reticence last night prompted by a wish to shield someone?
37913We will put a crimp in his scheme and show him-- why, what''s the matter, Vanardy?
37913Well, doctor?
37913Well, what are you going to do about it?
37913Well, what''s new?
37913Well,said Wade again, this time a little testily,"just what are you going to do about it?"
37913Well?
37913What about Miss Hardwick?
37913What about the seven capitalists?
37913What are the doctors doing? 37913 What are you doin''here?"
37913What are you doing here?
37913What did you gain by murdering her?
37913What do the doctors say?
37913What do you make of it, Wade?
37913What do you make of it?
37913What do you suppose she meant by that?
37913What do you want to know?
37913What do you want to see him about?
37913What do you want?
37913What else could she have meant?
37913What else?
37913What good will it do a man to accumulate costly and beautiful things if he ca n''t see them?
37913What is a shame?
37913What is the meaning of this?
37913What is your theory?
37913What kind of campaign?
37913What name?
37913What other reason could there be?
37913What put such a thought into your head?
37913What was it, Miss Hardwick? 37913 What was it?"
37913What would you suggest?
37913What''s happened?
37913What''s that old saw about great minds traveling in the same channel? 37913 What''s that?"
37913What''s the matter?
37913What''s your grievance against the fair sex, Wade? 37913 What-- what do you want me to do?"
37913What-- what''s that?
37913What-- what''s the matter?
37913What?
37913Where did Miss Hardwick go from here?
37913Where is The Phantom?
37913Which way?
37913Who are you?
37913Who is she?
37913Why do you call me''poor thing''?
37913Why should they do such a thing?
37913Why single out Fairspeckle? 37913 Why, if I may ask?"
37913Why?
37913Would n''t a knife thrust have been quicker and safer?
37913Would you be hurt if I told you I would rather not explain them just now?
37913Yes, and then?
37913Yes, but----"And did n''t he try to put you to sleep by drugging your coffee?
37913Yes,she whispered,"why could n''t we?"
37913Yes?
37913You are Mr. Starr, I believe?
37913You did n''t suppose I would give up so easily; did you, doctor? 37913 You do n''t know his other name-- the name by which he is known to the world at large?"
37913You give me your word of honor?
37913You know me?
37913You mean The Gray Phantom?
37913You mean the murder of Miss Darrow? 37913 You think she was killed because she had in some manner discovered Mr. Shei''s identity?"
37913Am I right?"
37913And what were your reasons?"
37913Any success?"
37913Any way I can be of service?"
37913Are n''t you starting this thing from the wrong end?"
37913But how had the man at the other end of the wire learned that The Phantom was in Fairspeckle''s apartment?
37913But who was Mr. Shei?
37913But, if I tell you, you will bring me a bottle of the antidote?"
37913But, now that you are here, what do you intend to do?
37913By the way, did you obtain any light on the things that were puzzling you?"
37913By the way, what do you think of Mr. Shei''s latest?"
37913By the way,"and Culligore frowned disapprovingly,"what''s the idea?
37913By the way,"and The Phantom fairly jabbed the question at the lieutenant,"have you seen anything of Miss Helen Hardwick?"
37913By the way,"and he fixed The Phantom with a look of mingled perplexity and suspicion,"have n''t you and I met before?"
37913Ca n''t someone make a light?"
37913Ca n''t you guess, doctor?"
37913Can you beat it?"
37913Can you trust me?"
37913Did Mr. Fairspeckle suspect that Mr. Shei and The Gray Phantom were identical?
37913Did n''t she say anything that suggested what her plans were?"
37913Did the wily Mr. Shei have still another ruse in reserve?
37913Do n''t you know the climate in this town is mighty unhealthy for a man like you?"
37913Do n''t you see, Culligore, that there is n''t a thing you can do?"
37913Do n''t you think you had better reconsider?"
37913Do n''t you think you had better swallow your pride and comply with his wishes?"
37913Do you agree with them?"
37913Do you know what will happen to you if you remain here?"
37913Do you know who Mr. Shei is?"
37913Does n''t the safety of a certain young lady mean anything to you at all?"
37913Even if it had, do n''t you realize that you would have been left here to starve to death?"
37913Ever hear of the datura plant?"
37913Ever suffer from insomnia?"
37913Excuse me, will you?"
37913Fairspeckle?"
37913Fairspeckle?"
37913Fairspeckle?"
37913Fairspeckle?"
37913For instance, how do I know that you are not a newspaper reporter looking for a sensation?"
37913Had Doctor Tagala lied to him, after all?
37913Has it occurred to you that I might refuse?"
37913Have you an appointment with him?"
37913Have you any idea who Mr. Shei is?"
37913He would lose his hold over you the moment he released Miss Hardwick, and what guarantee would he have that you would carry out your promise?"
37913How could he possibly further his scheme by an act of that kind?
37913How did you happen to find it?"
37913How do you account for the similarity of methods?"
37913How is Fairspeckle?"
37913How is the death of Miss Darrow going to help him in an undertaking of that kind?"
37913I almost said something that time, did n''t I?"
37913I believe you grasp the idea, do n''t you?"
37913I do n''t suppose you remember any of that?"
37913I suppose it has something to do with Miss Hardwick?"
37913I suppose you are very anxious to find him?"
37913If Mr. Fairspeckle suspected that he was Mr. Shei, why had he not handed his guest over to the police?
37913If she were alive I am sure she could tell us several interesting things about---- But what''s the good of supposing?
37913In a few days----""What about Miss Darrow?"
37913In the latter case, what could be his reason?
37913Is n''t it so?"
37913Is n''t that true?"
37913It was a mere accident, but is n''t our whole life a series of accidents?"
37913Just what are you driving at?
37913Know of any reason why Mr. Shei should go out of his way to abduct the old geezer?"
37913Mind if I have a look?"
37913Mr. Shei has put me in the way of acquiring a great fortune, so why should I not serve him?"
37913Never attend her studio parties?
37913Now perhaps you understand?"
37913Now, doctor, do n''t you think you had better tell me where the antidote is hidden-- truthfully this time?"
37913Of course, you might ask the police for assistance, supposing that you were on good terms with them, but what would be the result?
37913One of your fascinating master criminals, is he not?"
37913Remember?"
37913Say, boss, would n''t it be a joke on you if Mr. Shei should turn out to be a graduate of your own gang?"
37913Shall we go a step farther?
37913Shei''s?"
37913Shei?"
37913Shei?"
37913Shei?"
37913Shei?"
37913Shei?"
37913Shei?"
37913Shei?"
37913Shei?"
37913Slade, why do n''t you order your men to shoot me?"
37913Starr?"
37913Still loafing on the job, I suppose?"
37913Then where is he?"
37913Then you are a friend of his?"
37913This is a bit out of the ordinary-- eh, Wade?"
37913Vanardy?"
37913Want me to?"
37913Was he once more walking into a trap?
37913Was n''t the murderer''s purpose accomplished with the killing of Miss Darrow?"
37913Was that it?"
37913Was the shot fired at you or at him?"
37913What atrocious crime have the women perpetrated against you to deserve such cruel punishment?
37913What became of the bullet?"
37913What do you make of them?"
37913What do you think, my dear?"
37913What have you done to Doctor Tagala?"
37913What is the matter?"
37913What more natural than the antidote should be concealed in one of the chests?
37913What were we talking about?
37913What''s your idea, Culligore?
37913What_ is_ the matter?"
37913Where is my daughter?"
37913Where is the antidote?"
37913Who do you suppose it could have been?"
37913Why did n''t I realize that she was trying to warn me?
37913Why should a murderer use a hypodermic injection when there are so many simpler and easier ways of accomplishing the same result?"
37913Why should you be glad?"
37913Why the devil did n''t you stay where you belong?"
37913Will you admit you are beaten?"
37913Wo n''t you come inside, Miss-- er, Hardwick?
37913Wo n''t you sit down and be comfortable?
37913Would Helen and himself be able to escape from Azurecrest with the precious antidote in their possession?
37913Would Mr. Shei dare let her live after her usefulness to him was past?
37913Would you believe that for days at a time I live on nothing but coffee?
37913Would you mind opening the window?
37913You do n''t doubt that Fairspeckle was kidnaped by Mr. Shei''s agents?"
37913You do n''t suppose Fairspeckle kidnaped himself?"
37913You do n''t think----""He acted queer all morning, did n''t he?"
37913You were lying down?"
37913You will admit the coincidence is rather striking?"
37913Your heart is intact, I hope?"
35991''You do not mean That was the first and last with him?'' 35991 About the time, That May before she finished High School, Elenor Broke loose, ran wild, do you remember, Carl?
35991And as for that, what did I see in Paris But human nature working in the war As everywhere it works in peace? 35991 As they rallied, But when my strength was almost spent-- what comes?
35991Before this quarrel we had been engaged And at this evening''s end I brought it up:''What shall we do? 35991 But first, my love, As spirits equal and with equal rights, Or privilege of equal wrongs, have I Demanded former purity of you?
35991But had I been American to the core, Would I have put the sweet temptation by? 35991 Could we manage it?"
35991I went to her, Pulled down her hands from eyes and shook her hard: What is this? 35991 If I had any thought There in that awful moment, it was this: To run away, escape, could I maintain An innocent presence there, be clear of fault?
35991Is it portless?
35991So, that''s your story, is it?
35991Well, now Why did I turn to Gregory from you? 35991 Well, then what was the riddle?
35991What is the matter?
35991Who was this woman? 35991 With the morning I lay in bed and thought: Did Irma Leese Know anything of me, or did she know That Elenor went out to meet a man?
35991A man can shake a vampire off, but how To shake a wife off, when the children come, And you must leave your place, your livelihood To shake her off?
35991A woman of one sin, Or many sins, her life filled up with treason, Since I had left her?"
35991A woman wholly bad?
35991All her life This girl aspires-- you think to win a man?
35991All learning may be that, but what is that?
35991America, Oh yes, America, she said to self, How is it different from the land I left?
35991And John speaks up:"Well, Carl, now Elenor Murray is no more, And we are friends so long, I''d like to know What do you think of her?"
35991And Lilli Alm who taught the art of song Looked at him half contemptuous and said:"Why did she fail?"
35991And Lowell studied them and said at last:"That new reporter makes the Murray inquest A thing of interest, does the public like it?"
35991And Merival spoke up:"What is to- day?
35991And Sosnowski spoke:"I meant to kill you-- where''s your right to live When millions have been killed to make the world A safer place for liberty?
35991And after that?
35991And all this realm of spirit, Of love for truth and beauty, is the play Of shadows on the tomb?"
35991And for this What did I get?
35991And for what?
35991And had she lied, had she been living free, Unshackled of our system, faith and cult, American or Christian, what you will?
35991And have n''t we, the nurses and the soldiers Written some million stories for the eyes Of boys and girls to read these fifty years?
35991And if A jury and the courts adjudged this boy Of nineteen in his mind, what was the right Of interference by the governor?
35991And if a man cause war, or suffer war, When he could stop it, do we say he loves?
35991And if she did not know, who could disclose That I was with her?
35991And if she had a syncope, was held up, Who held her up?
35991And if you shake her off Where do you go?
35991And just to hear that she Had planned to see me, ask for clemency For this condemned degenerate, made me say Shall I let death defeat her?
35991And just to think you used that sharpened talent For getting money, place, in the old regime, To place you where to- day?
35991And last night When Elenor Murray''s picture in the_ Times_ Looked at me, I began to think, Good Lord, Where have I seen that face before?
35991And may I test this jet, while I am here?
35991And on the third night saw At half- past eight or nine this fellow come And take her walking in the darkness-- where?
35991And on this day the coroner had a letter From Margery Camp which said:"Where''s Barrett Bays?
35991And others said:"We know through Jacob Bangs he has investments In wheat lands, what''s the truth?
35991And perhaps Real things were back of ways to be construed In innocence or wisdom-- for who knows?
35991And radical with axes after trees, And clergymen with curses on the fig trees?
35991And so what have we?
35991And then he said:"Why did you do this?"
35991And then she asked:"Have you felt in my hands Great tenderness, solicitude, even prayer?"
35991And this is what I hear-- the husband''s voice, Which well I knew, the officer''s in command:''Why have you brought your wife here?''
35991And to that end take life in hand?
35991And was it true That Elenor Murray strayed as a young girl In those far days of strolls and buggy rides?
35991And was it truth He told of meeting Elenor, her death?
35991And was she brave, And nerved to end it by these words of Elenor?
35991And were the Burtons better than this Kingston?
35991And what if our home was not home to her?
35991And what is next?
35991And what is this he sees?
35991And what of those who got effects because They knew this Elenor Murray?
35991And what''s the state Of things in Christendom?
35991And where is Barrett Bays?
35991And who does that?
35991And who knows But all the money went here in the end?
35991And why aspire if death Ends us, the scheme?
35991And why no sons and daughters, strong and fair, To use these horses, ponies, tramp the fields, Shout from the tennis court, swim, skate and row?
35991And why no woman in his life, no face Smiling from out the summer house of roses, Such riotous flames against the distant green?
35991And why not?
35991And why was that?
35991And why?
35991And write these words:"To be brave and not to flinch"?
35991And you want me?
35991Are not there rooms of books, of tales and poems And histories to show all secrets of life?
35991Are you engaged to me?
35991Asked Elenor Murray,"do you think we can?"
35991But I ask What soldier or what nurse retained his faith, The splendor of his flame?
35991But Sosnowski thought If I could do a flaming thing to show What courts are ours, what matter if I die?
35991But explain Why would she over- stress the roses, give Me understandings foreign to the truth?
35991But if our Elenor Murray Had not been found beside the river, what Had happened?
35991But if you loved me then, Or soon thereafter loved me, as I know, What should I do?
35991But just suppose, as I began to say, You never had discovered Gregory Wenner, And had the rapture, beauty which you had, How stands the case?
35991But meantime If Gregory Wenner killed this Elenor Murray How did he do it?
35991But now what do we see?
35991But the dead, And what they lived, what are they?--what the things Of our dead selves to selves who are alive, And live the hour that''s given us?"
35991But then at last What can you do with life?
35991But then you say, what of his love and doctrine?
35991But what is love but of the soul-- what flesh Knows love but through the soul?
35991But what were all these rooms and acres to him With no face near him but the servants, gardeners?
35991But who knew that I grieved to see her lose A schooling at St. Mary''s, have no chance?
35991But who knows About the father''s parents, or the mother''s?
35991But why do we suffer?
35991But win a man with what?
35991Can I regret my work, nor take a hurt Upon my very soul?
35991Can you dispute My eyes were fixed upon a lovelier life, Have never gaze withdrawn from loveliness?
35991Cause of death?
35991Concretely said, in brief, A man and woman have produced this child; What was the child''s pre- natal circumstance?
35991Consequence?
35991Could I get well in time?
35991Could I not wait from day to day and see What turn the news would take?
35991Could he kill her and return And kill himself?
35991Did I become a common woman, turn To common life and ways?
35991Did he forgive Judas Iscariot?
35991Did he forgive Poor Peter by specific words?
35991Did he forgive the thief upon the cross, Who railed at him?
35991Did she aspire?
35991Did she not ripple merriment to hide Her disappointment, wake me if she could?
35991Did she take Joan''s spirit for her guide?
35991Did that contaminate her, change her flesh, Or change her spirit?
35991Did the major steal The heart of Elenor Murray, speed her death?
35991Did the public make it?
35991Do I not soil my soul with penitence, And smut this loveliness with penitence?
35991Do n''t you know Roy Green is laughing at you in his sleeve, And boasts that Elenor Murray was all his?
35991Do n''t you see Our western culture in such words as these?
35991Do n''t you see that I Was caught in mathematics, jotted down Upon a slate before I came to earth?
35991Do you know A man until you see him face to face?
35991Do you know of the care a nurse can give, And what she can withhold?"
35991Do you not see the rule of compensation Shot through it all?
35991Do you remember all the books I read Two years ago upon heredity, Foot- notes to evolution, the dynamics Of living matter?
35991Do you so promise me?"
35991Do you think, A softness in the heart went to the brain And softened that?
35991Do you wonder now That people cry for war?
35991Does anyone live now, or learn a thing Not lived and learned a thousand times before?
35991Does this sound like a coward?
35991Dumm, dumm, dumm, dumm, How''s that for quality, sweet clear and pure?
35991Effluvia material of our bodies?
35991Elenor Murray Died how?
35991Elenor Stood on the fence, flung up her arms and crowed, And said"What can they do?
35991Elenor, What is the matter?
35991Escape The censor''s eye?
35991For if Elenor Was not a Joan too, why treasure this?
35991For who am I to judge?
35991Go up to see and test it?"
35991Good Lord, it''s one o''clock, I must to bed.... You get my story Merival?
35991Gregory Wenner''s?
35991He did forgive the hands Who crucified him, but he had a reason: They knew not what they did; well, as for that Who knows the thing he does?
35991He did?
35991He died a year ago, as you''ll remember, What were his secrets, agony?
35991He got a car And hurried to the place where Eleanor lay.... Now who was Merival the Coroner?
35991He took the dividends, and put them-- where?
35991He would ask:"No news?
35991He''s had enough of her or never cared-- Which is it?
35991He''s turned upon our inquest, did you see The jab he gives me?
35991Here''s my word: Give men and women freedom, save the land From dull theocracy-- the theo, what?
35991How Is that for metaphor?
35991How about the mother?
35991How about this lawyer, And Margery the aunt?
35991How could I follow them?
35991How could I trust her?
35991How could we escape?
35991How did her birth affect the father, mother?
35991How do I view the matter?
35991How do you know a man, or know a woman Until the flesh instructs you?
35991How had it benefited you or me, Increased your love, or founded it upon A surer rock than beauty?
35991How have I sinned?
35991How keep it clean Confessing what I did( if I thought so) As evil and unclean?"
35991How long had death Been on her eyes?
35991How long were you asleep?
35991However flamed with zeal had I said no When lips like hers were offered?
35991I call Death twin Of Love, and why?
35991I have heard Most everything about you, of your youth Your schooling, shall I say your sorrow too?
35991I read the letter over: How could this letter pass the censor?
35991I roll the panoramic story out To Washington the great-- what do I see?
35991I said to her, You leave me too?
35991I wonder should I tell the coroner?
35991I''d sit beside his cell and read some words From his confession, ask why did you this?
35991I''ve found it now: What is the intellect but eyes, where sight Is gathered in two spheres?
35991If I find no ricin I turn to streptococcus, deadly snake, Or shall I call him tiger?
35991If he had a friend, Who was a mind to him as well, perhaps It was a certain lawyer, but who knew?
35991If it had prospered The man had never told, what do you think?"
35991If that be mud, Which we have heard, around her, is it mud That weights the soul of America, the pure Dream of our founders?
35991If that were true, What was the past?
35991If that''s the case, Should not these letters reach the coroner?
35991If you could choose, be Elenor Murray or Our schoolmate, Mary Marsh, which would you be?
35991If you know it, why drop tears For people better off?
35991In Paris what Happened to break your balance?
35991In any case What avarice is this that made him anxious About the comfort of his wife and family?
35991Is a country Free where the laws permit such things?
35991Is it not true?
35991Is there a soul You''d like to know?
35991It came about When Ludwig Haibt said:"Have you read the papers About this Elenor Murray?"
35991It must be true, She went so secretly to walk that morning To meet a man-- why would she walk alone?
35991Let me look behind The door that closes on your man at home, The wife and children there, what shall I find?
35991Look You come into my life, what do you bring?
35991Look back Do you not see Voltaire lay hold of her, Hands out of tombs and spirits, from the skies Lead her to Europe?
35991Might not that progress start as one result Of this great war?
35991My care proved useless-- or shall I say so?
35991My father died before this son was born; Why does this son smack lips and turn his hand Just like my father did?
35991No chance save what she earned herself?
35991No word?
35991No, Why should she?
35991Now do n''t you see the contrast?
35991Now it seems She''s dead and never married-- why not me?
35991Now tell me, have you?''
35991Now two things: Suppose the writer of the letters killed This Elenor Murray, is somehow involved In Elenor Murray''s death?
35991Now what are these but levers of our machine?
35991Now, at the last Has not this war put by resist not evil?
35991Now, look a minute: Why did she join the church?
35991O, my love, What should I do when this most priceless gift Was held up like a crown within your hands To place upon my brows-- what should I do?
35991Oh, is it human nature, That fights like maggots in the rotting carcass?
35991Or anyone say so?
35991Or did it make the public, that it fitted With such exactness in the communal life?
35991Or did the major follow her?
35991Or is it human nature tortured, bound By artificial doctrines, creeds which all Pretend belief in, really doubt, resist And can not live by?"
35991Or know what texture is his hand until You touch his hand?
35991Or was it guilt For some complicity in Elenor''s death?
35991Or was she half and half?
35991Or with the inquest?
35991Result?
35991Schools She had in plenty, what would she have done With courses to the end in music, art?
35991Shall we let these trivial minds Who see salvation, progress in restraint, Pre- empt the field of moulding human life?
35991She could have married-- why not?
35991She drops Roy Green for me-- what does he care?
35991She goes to Europe then-- with husband?
35991She had kept from me The diary, threw it from the window, what Was life of her in France?
35991She might have married, had a home and children, What of it?
35991She renewed it-- said,"Why do you hurry back?
35991She straightened up And questioned me:"Have you been ill before?
35991She was the lover, do you understand?
35991Should not he stand on guard?
35991Should not the body lie, as it was found, Until the coroner takes charge of it?
35991So I say If her life came to any waste, what waste May her heroic life and death prevent?
35991So I say, Why do you come to me?
35991So was her life a ruin, was it waste?
35991THE BIRTH OF ELENOR MURRAY What are the mortal facts With which we deal?
35991Take the breach And make her death no matter in my course?
35991Take this girl: Why do you marvel that she rode at night With any man who came along?
35991Take you aside and say, here is the truth, Here''s Gregory Wenner-- what''s the good of that?
35991Tell me all?"
35991That night I lay awake and tossed and thought: Where are they now?
35991The bird is slain perhaps, the turtle lives, But which has known the thrills?
35991The father drinks, you say?
35991The fellow said it, damn him-- whether she Made such a promise, who knows?
35991The hand that stirs, The potter''s hand?
35991The hunter who came up and found the body?
35991The life goes out, how many things result?
35991The question is, Is life worth living, good Or bad?
35991The time?
35991The world Is better, is it?
35991Then David Barrow asked:"Who is the man That used to write to Elenor, went away?"
35991Then David Borrow, And Winthrop Marion with the coroner Shot questions at him till he woke, regained A memory, concentration: Who are you?
35991Then I lied to her; And laughed a little, answered no, and asked,''What do you know about her?''"
35991Then I thought: Here is a girl who rides with that Roy Green And what would he be with her for, I ask?
35991Then Winthrop Marion said:"I like your talk, Llewellyn George, but still what killed the girl?
35991Then if the lover be not known by lovers How is she known?
35991Then what are spirits?
35991Then what?
35991There I stood, Believed I was alone, then heard a voice,"Is it not beautiful?"
35991There is money in it, Perhaps, who knows?
35991There''s Bruno, Socrates, There''s Washington who might have lost his life, Why do these men cling to the vision, hope?
35991These months Of silence, what are they?
35991They live In heaven, say your Elenor Murrays, well, Who knows this?
35991They teach us physiology; who teaches The use of instincts and emotions, powers?
35991This Elenor Murray A miniature imperfect of La Menken?
35991To chasten us, to better, purge our sins?
35991To recur I''m down to this: Perhaps a hemolysis-- But what produced it?
35991To return How much did Elenor Murray use her mind, How much her instincts, leave herself alone Let nature have its way?
35991To what and whom?
35991Unless she runs to men already married, And if she does so, do n''t you make her out As loose and bad?
35991Until at last I said, no more, my dear-- The past is dead, What is the past to me?
35991Untruthful, how could confidence be hers?
35991Was I first rate lawyer?
35991Was I not justified In hiding Gregory Wenner to preserve The beauty and the rapture which you craved?
35991Was it Gregory Wenner?
35991Was it simply to conceal A passion written in these letters here For his sake or his wife''s?
35991Was it to forget?
35991Was she like Sieur LaSalle shot down, or choked, Struck, poisoned?
35991Was she married?
35991We are together now, We do not dream, do we?
35991Well she loved Dumas, Inscribed a book of poems to Charles Dickens, By his permission, mark you-- don''t you see Your Elenor Murray here?
35991Well, at first What did I care what she had been before, Whose mistress, sweetheart?
35991Well, but how about The flames that make the children?
35991Well, for some weeks I lay there, and at last Words dropped around me that the time was near For blows to count-- would I be there to strike?
35991Well, then I thought-- why not?
35991Well, then What was my love?
35991Well, then your marriage counter Could scarcely ask: What is your aim in life?
35991Well, then"What was he hired for?"
35991Well, what is more to tell?
35991What are they doing now?
35991What better way to end it?"
35991What calls you back?
35991What can I say?
35991What can I say?
35991What could you find here, if you seek no husband, Even in seeing France so partially?
35991What depths of calmness may a man come to As father, who can think of this and be Quiet about his heart?
35991What did I find?
35991What did Jesus do?
35991What did he find?
35991What did their friends, old women, relatives Take from the child in feeling, joy or pain?
35991What did we do?
35991What do we know of Elenor Murray''s death?
35991What does it come to?
35991What girl Has earned the money for two years in college Beside my Elenor in this neighborhood?
35991What good can come of hatred, greed and murder?
35991What happened then?
35991What happened then?
35991What happened there?
35991What happened?
35991What hunter after secrets could find out?
35991What if I Had failed as father in the way I failed?
35991What in adventure, lures to bring you here, Where peril, labor are?
35991What is a man or woman but a sperm Accreted into largeness?
35991What is it all?
35991What is that Contrasted with the cost to me, if I Had let him hang?
35991What is the inference?
35991What is the part it plays with Elenor Murray?
35991What is the time?"
35991What is this love force?
35991What is this spirit, but the spirit Of Something which moves through us, to an end, And by its constancy in man made constant Proclaims an end?
35991What is this?
35991What next?
35991What of her childhood friends, her days at school, Her teachers, girlhood sweethearts, lovers later, When she became a woman?
35991What of that?
35991What of the girl?
35991What of these?
35991What other entries did I miss, what shames Recorded since she left me, here in France?
35991What results?
35991What shall I do?
35991What shall we do about it?--let it go?
35991What shall we do?
35991What soul would seek him in this room of books?
35991What was I after all?
35991What was I then to judge?
35991What was she doing by the river''s shore?
35991What was she then?
35991What was she, anyway, that she could lose Such happiness and love?
35991What was she?
35991What was the cause of death of Elenor Murray?
35991What was the first thing entering in your mind From which you trace your act?

35991What your wife?
35991What''s life here now?
35991What, my dear, You wo n''t hear any more?
35991What, you?
35991When neither poverty, nor jeers, nor flames, Nor cups of poison stay?
35991Where did the money go?
35991Where did you meet this Elenor at the first?
35991Where is Alma Bell, He has not heard about her in these years?
35991Where is the major?
35991Where shall I get the money, when pianos, Such as I make, are devilish hard to sell?
35991Where''s your right To live and have more honors, be the man To guide the city, now that telephones, Gas, railways have been taken by the city?

35991Who was La Menken?
35991Who was this woman mused the widow there?
35991Whom does it look like?
35991Whose letters?
35991Why am I harsh?
35991Why call God love who can prevent a war?
35991Why delay?
35991Why did she ditch me?
35991Why did she go to war?
35991Why did she never marry?
35991Why did she return?
35991Why did this Barrett Bays emerge not, speak, Come forward?
35991Why did you go to France?

35991Why do they do this, even while their lips Are wet with kisses given you?

35991Why not a Domesday Book in which are shown A certain country''s tenures spiritual?
35991Why not join with me And get these letters?
35991Why should I Be just a cooing dove, why not a hawk?
35991Why sublimate a passion?
35991Why, boredom, nothing else.... Why pity Elenor Murray?
35991Why?"
35991Will it do?
35991Will you Absolve me, if I say I''m sorry too?
35991Will you renew it?''
35991Write me now What is your final judgment of the girl?"...
35991Write to this lawyer what my duty is Appointed me of her, go to New York?
35991Yes, tell you?
35991Yet how can I neglect to write this lawyer And tell him Elenor Murray gave to me This power of disposition?
35991You ask What took her to the war?
35991You do?
35991You have n''t read it, have you?
35991You have not promised marriage to that girl?
35991You hear much of the vampire, but what wife Has not more chance for eating up a man?
35991You know the face?
35991You may be called neurotic, what is that?
35991You should have seen my mother-- how she gasped, And gestured losing breath, to say at last:''Why, Carl, my boy, what are you thinking of?
35991You smile, which means you sun yourself within The power I have, and yet do you approve?
35991Your love life?
35991Your proselytes, and business man, reformer Nourished upon them, using them in life?
35991and how?
35991for he had given In a great passion out of a passionate heart All that was in him-- who was she to spurn A gift like this?
35991lighting lamps for men To walk by, men who hate the lamps, the hand That lights?
35991look at me, Did I become a drifter, wholly fail?
35991there''s the secret for a man As long as women interest him-- who knows What the precedent fellow was to her?
35991what do you do?
34468A gang at work, eh? 34468 A mad doctor bent on brain experiments-- is that your theory, Wigan?"
34468A solicitor?
34468A theory, professor?
34468After telephoning to the police that she was being murdered?
34468An old servant of the bank, you say?
34468And Gilson?
34468And Lady Leconbridge?
34468And Mrs. Ashworth, is she still here?
34468And do you really mean that you can find the money?
34468And her correspondence-- was it large?
34468And how soon was the alarm raised along the countryside?
34468And managed to have the treasure buried with him?
34468And not for the first time, eh, Wigan? 34468 And of you, Jim-- eh?"
34468And on this particular night you expressed a wish that they should be worn?
34468And the assistant?
34468And the dining- room door was shut?
34468And the last one was unopened; did you open it?
34468And the man''s face, Wigan?
34468And the man?
34468And the money, Jim-- what has become of it?
34468And the theory?
34468And the wine?
34468And then you left the farm?
34468And then?
34468And what did she do on Sunday?
34468And what is the meaning of this-- this broken rope?
34468And what was his motive?
34468And while he was strangling Peter, what was Simon doing? 34468 And you did this for him?"
34468And you do n''t believe there was any large sum of money?
34468And you do not know where he is now?
34468And you have come to the conclusion that his story is a plain statement of facts?
34468And you knew better?
34468And you think she murdered Seligmann to get them?
34468And you, professor?
34468Any reason?
34468Any traces that the head was carried to the wood?
34468Are father and son not on good terms, then?
34468Are you here as a spy or to ask for help? 34468 Are you not yet satisfied that this is not the difficult case about which you had a presentiment?"
34468Are you suggesting murder?
34468Are you sure Michael Hall is not guilty?
34468Are you sure the salver was not pawned by a woman?
34468Are you thinking that I had a hand in it?
34468As if they had fallen out of the box when it was broken?
34468At the instigation of friend Giles?
34468Broken?
34468But how could Ewing manage to conceal himself in the bank, or get into it even? 34468 But how did he get the jewels?"
34468But how is it no one knew him?
34468But how was the gold got away?
34468But she received letters?
34468But since she would profit by the crime, why should she communicate with him?
34468But some day?
34468But the body-- where is it?
34468But the head?
34468But to Jim?
34468But why bring such infernal weather with you? 34468 But you do suggest that, being convinced she had gone, your search of the house was not very thorough?"
34468But you might reconsider your original statement if I produced another man?
34468But----?
34468By sitting at the gate you kept watch over it, I suppose? 34468 By the way, Wigan, was n''t it foggy on the night of Portman''s disappearance?"
34468By the way, Wigan, who found the body?
34468Can you swim, Wigan?
34468Cold out?
34468Could Ewing possibly have heard that a prosecution was contemplated?
34468Did I not say the yacht had a queer feeling about her?
34468Did Mrs. Fitzroy have many visitors?
34468Did Mrs. Jardine keep much money in the house?
34468Did Sir Joseph Maynard burgle his own house?
34468Did any clients call that day?
34468Did anyone come to see your master that night?
34468Did he actually give you the money?
34468Did it ever occur to you that Mr. Frisby had treated his nephew badly?
34468Did n''t he? 34468 Did she go there?"
34468Did she see him do it? 34468 Did she use the telephone much?"
34468Did that strike you as significant?
34468Did the relatives respect the old man''s wish and have the body cremated?
34468Did you ask for work?
34468Did you comment upon the fact when he pawned the salver in his own name?
34468Did you demand any special sum?
34468Did you go to the door with him?
34468Did you know she was Seligmann''s wife, professor?
34468Did you make any discovery in the house?
34468Did you often visit your uncle?
34468Did you prepare the dinner?
34468Did you switch off the light in the hall?
34468Did you tell Mr. Portman he had called?
34468Did your mistress smoke?
34468Dine with him? 34468 Do n''t you remember, I went to see some people at Highgate that day and was late for dinner?"
34468Do you care to hear my conditions? 34468 Do you happen to know the Honorable Percival Marsh?"
34468Do you imagine the servants''statement to be a fabrication, then?
34468Do you intend to begin your search at once?
34468Do you know Seligmann?
34468Do you know any of them who would be likely to do her an injury?
34468Do you know what he was looking for, Wigan?
34468Do you mean for some treasured volume he possessed? 34468 Do you mean that Lady Leconbridge helped him?"
34468Do you see, Wigan?
34468Do you see?
34468Do you suggest that Lady Leconbridge was as anxious that Hartmann should not see the jewels as her husband was that he should?
34468Do you think he came from the yacht?
34468Do you think it was the same man?
34468Do you think the treasure was small in bulk and placed in his coffin?
34468Do you think you could find me any of Mrs. Harrison''s handwriting?
34468Does it? 34468 Does the present affair help to confirm that theory?"
34468Ewing would never be there alone, then?
34468Feel inclined to go a little way with me now?
34468For instance,I said,"if Lady Leconbridge had been wearing the necklace when you approached her would you have known had it been paste?"
34468Forget? 34468 From six to ten?"
34468Gone, has he? 34468 Had he enemies?"
34468Had the boxes been blown open?
34468Had you gone that way on purpose to see if it had come ashore?
34468Has Lady Leconbridge at any time suggested that you should?
34468Has it been tested?
34468Has she mentioned what she intends to do when this affair is over?
34468Has the clause in the will which forbids the removal of anything from the house been observed?
34468Have you any helpful theory, professor?
34468Have you looked at everything you want to see?
34468Have you solved the riddle?
34468Have you thought of one point, Wigan?
34468He could only pass them to some one who could afford to bide his time, receiving small payment for the risk he had run?
34468He does n''t like strangers, as a rule,said the man,"but he''s ill.""Foreign breed of dog, eh?"
34468He had pawned things before, had n''t he?
34468He has not been identified either?
34468He never did, I suppose?
34468He showed them to you?
34468He was unconscious, was n''t he?
34468He''s been, has he?
34468His nephew?
34468His purchases might be expected to increase in value?
34468How about Charles Eade?
34468How about the garden door, yonder?
34468How about the insurance?
34468How about the window in the roof?
34468How am I to make her acquaintance?
34468How can that be?
34468How comes it, then, that he has those papers which were in your husband''s possession?
34468How did Mr. Frisby move his hands?
34468How did she arrive home on Sunday morning, then?
34468How did the thieves get into the bank?
34468How do you know she did n''t?
34468How far are we from Withan?
34468How have you learnt all this?
34468How long had she been with Mr. Parrish, constable?
34468How long has she been here?
34468How much do these bags of gold weigh?
34468How?
34468I presume that paper you have there, Wigan, is a copy of the wording of the will?
34468I presume you have not been keeping any particular watch upon Martha Wakeling?
34468I suppose it goes to confirm your theory?
34468I suppose men of an expert gang would take that precaution?
34468I suppose we can get hold of him?
34468I suppose you have no idea where Mr. Portman is? 34468 I suppose you were not due to dine with him on the following evening?"
34468I wonder whether this nephew has anything to do with the affair?
34468I wonder, Wigan-- is that the clew?
34468If he were in the boat, it is strange his body has n''t been washed up, is n''t it?
34468If such a person exists, why has it not been suggested to me, say, by a photograph?
34468In the cellars, I suppose?
34468In what way?
34468Is Lord Leconbridge a poor man?
34468Is Mrs. Hall still in the village?
34468Is Wednesday always your night out?
34468Is n''t that a sail-- a yacht?
34468Is she in now?
34468Is that dog savage?
34468Is that the only dog about the place?
34468Is the necklace in one of your safes in the bank here?
34468Is there a well?
34468Is there any money owing to you?
34468Is there any real evidence to support the story, professor?
34468It has been blowing like this ever since the night the doctor disappeared, has n''t it?
34468It has not even been necessary to have new keys made?
34468It is hardly in my line, is it?
34468It is possible to walk round the rocks to that point, I suppose?
34468It was n''t necessary for you to sit up until your master had gone?
34468It was quite early in the morning when she discovered the dead man, was n''t it?
34468It would have been natural to do so, would n''t it?
34468It''s a Scotch word for a sandy tract near the sea, is n''t it?
34468Kept himself to himself a good deal, eh?
34468Lady Leconbridge offered no objection, I presume?
34468Large feet, had n''t he? 34468 Lord Leconbridge did not mention this fact?"
34468May I give one other word of advice?
34468May I hear what it is?
34468May I open one or two drawers?
34468May I take it, Mr. Oglethorpe, you have no reason to suspect that Frisby Morton has had anything to do with the disappearance of this will?
34468May I take it, Mr. Wickstead, that there is no suspicion of collusion with officials in the bank?
34468Mrs. Eccles, how long has your master had that oaken chest in his room?
34468Mrs. Harrison had friends, I suppose?
34468Much water in the ditch?
34468Must not?
34468Never heard of hollow heels, Wigan?
34468No money worries?
34468No truth in it, I suppose?
34468Not a bookworm like his uncle, eh?
34468Not as Murray Wigan, certainly,he said, and then he added, after a pause:"Would you mind pretending to be Zena''s lover?
34468Now, of course you know what your mistress was wearing when you left her alone in the house last night?
34468Of course this room has been searched very thoroughly?
34468Of course you have not discovered anything yet, Wigan?
34468Of course, you do not think Sims has any connection with this jewel robbery you have been engaged upon?
34468Of what?
34468Only wounds in the head? 34468 Proof of what?"
34468Queer feeling about her, do n''t you think?
34468Quite a rich woman, eh?
34468Quite alone?
34468Rather a fantastic conclusion, is n''t it?
34468Reviewing the circumstances of those last few hours, was there anything which might point to the cause of this trouble?
34468Shall we find Constable Baker at the house?
34468Shall we go and look at Mr. Portman''s room, Wigan?
34468Shall we go for it?
34468Shall we have the servant in, Wigan?
34468Shall we interview the servants?
34468She did n''t turn to speak to anyone as she entered the house?
34468She has returned to the cottage, then? 34468 Should I be likely to forget so important a point?
34468So he had you in his money- lending hands, had he?
34468So it does n''t matter what anyone else thinks, eh?
34468So late a visitor surprised you, of course?
34468So she has shown you the letters, has she?
34468So that is your theory?
34468So you are here to trick me?
34468So you think the dead man yonder fooled them?
34468Sooner? 34468 Surely there is no question about that?
34468Tell me, Mr. Oglethorpe, during this search were there any surprises? 34468 Tell me, are the house and its contents still untouched?"
34468The maid knew they were there?
34468The premiums have been paid by check, I suppose?
34468The same brand of cigarettes?
34468The securities-- deeds, bonds, and such- like-- have they been tampered with?
34468Then the little boxes; did you count them?
34468Then why did Mr. Ratcliffe-- an expert in gems, remember-- treasure it so carefully?
34468Then why did n''t they take the sapphire?
34468Then why do you think he has been worried recently?
34468Then you believe Sims carried out his master''s wishes?
34468Then you have a theory?
34468Then you have n''t found the money?
34468Then you would still trust Ewing?
34468Then, I ask, what made Gilson haunt the farm? 34468 There are thousands of such men, especially in England, I think, or why are societies so necessary to protect women, to help them, to relieve them?
34468There is a mystery about her, then?
34468There was a moon that night, was n''t there?
34468There was no question of prosecuting him, I suppose?
34468They are not often worn, I believe?
34468They were the same the whole time? 34468 They''re not expensive flats, are they?"
34468To bury somewhere else?
34468To you?
34468Toward Withan?
34468Two?
34468Very interesting,said Quarles;"but are we really required to clear Lady Leconbridge''s character?
34468Was Mr. Ewing rather an untidy person?
34468Was Mr. Portman a Jew?
34468Was any provision made for Mrs. Ashworth in it?
34468Was he careless about money matters?
34468Was he here a great deal?
34468Was it a thorough search-- I mean did you look into every corner, every drawer, every cupboard for some sign of her? 34468 Was it usual not to open the room when Mr. Seligmann was away?"
34468Was she alone?
34468Was she very much agitated?
34468Was that screen standing there when you first entered the room, Wigan?
34468Was the dining- room door shut when you went upstairs?
34468Was the electric light on in the hall on Sunday morning?
34468Was the light burning in the hall and in the dining- room?
34468Was the money given willingly?
34468Was there any harm in my coming, Mary?
34468Was there no information to be had from Sarah Paget?
34468Well, Wigan?
34468What age is Rupert Lester?
34468What are you attempting to suggest?
34468What are you here for?
34468What are you looking for?
34468What do you know about Mr. Parrish''s nephew?
34468What do you mean?
34468What do you mean?
34468What had the doctor to say?
34468What has become of him?
34468What has become of the pin?
34468What is Lord Leconbridge''s attitude?
34468What is he doing?
34468What is that fool doing yonder? 34468 What is that something, dear?"
34468What is the meaning of this intrusion?
34468What is the opinion you have formed about it, Wigan?
34468What is the true story?
34468What is your next move, then?
34468What opportunity had he for stealing it? 34468 What price was she to pay for them?"
34468What time to- day did this Mr. Marsh first go to River Mansions?
34468What time was it when you entered the house last night?
34468What was his name?
34468What was the date of the French murder?
34468What was the lady like?
34468What was the man looking for? 34468 What would yours be?"
34468When he came in that afternoon he stood in the doorway there and talked to you?
34468When was this will made?
34468When you went for the tray and found the door locked, did you think he had anyone with him?
34468When your master left by the garden was it not thought advisable to see that the study window was securely fastened? 34468 When?"
34468Where did Mrs. Harrison come from? 34468 Where did he get it from?
34468Where did those checks come from-- I mean whose were they? 34468 Where did you find the safe key?"
34468Where do you suppose the thieves came from to get to this window?
34468Where has she gone on these occasions?
34468Where were you during those three years?
34468Who could really think in a room like this?
34468Who first started that idea?
34468Who first told you that Lady Leconbridge was wearing pearls when she went down to dinner?
34468Who is he?
34468Who witnessed the signature to the will?
34468Why are you so certain? 34468 Why carrying a bag?"
34468Why did n''t you give information sooner?
34468Why did you call upon her?
34468Why did you deny knowing anything about Cross Roads Farm?
34468Why do you expect this particular doctor will be visited?
34468Why not come with me to Finsbury?
34468Why not?
34468Why not?
34468Why not?
34468Why should I? 34468 Why should you think so?"
34468Why should you think so?
34468Why, particularly?
34468Why?
34468Why?
34468Why?
34468Wigan, do you see?
34468Wigan, this Sussex affair?
34468Will they open the grave?
34468Will to- morrow be too soon to go?
34468With regard to this gold reserve, how often is it examined?
34468With that?
34468Would he not have robbed himself of something to make the affair more plausible?
34468Would it be in charge of a chauffeur?
34468Would she have put the police on this business if she had n''t been?
34468Would you have Patrick Evans watched, too?
34468Yes; but since the gang is entirely unknown at Scotland Yard, that might be considered an unnecessary precaution, eh?
34468Yes; but, forgive me, why these questions?
34468Yesterday was Wednesday, your night out?
34468Yet you all expected to profit by his death?
34468You are convinced, I presume, that Hartmann has the diamonds?
34468You are not busy, are you; you could give the time?
34468You are not sure?
34468You are prepared to swear that your wife wore this necklace at the Duchess of Exmoor''s reception?
34468You are quite sure that those were the exact movements?
34468You did n''t catch sight of him, Wigan?
34468You did n''t expect Seligmann to give them up for nothing?
34468You did n''t go at once to Norbiton?
34468You did n''t return to Hanley?
34468You did n''t stop and ask her the way?
34468You did not actually see the necklace, I suppose?
34468You did not go by the garden gate last night?
34468You do n''t expect to find the money in his boots, do you?
34468You do n''t happen to know a bibliomaniac who might commit murder?
34468You do n''t suppose Hartmann was responsible for the jewels not being there?
34468You do not seem interested in the broken box of counters?
34468You expected to find the lady lying on the carpet here?
34468You expected to surprise Lord Leconbridge into an admission and were disappointed?
34468You feel confident there was a will?
34468You had been expecting me?
34468You have a theory, professor?
34468You know that Mr. Ewing was dismissed from the bank-- and why?
34468You questioned him upon that point, Wigan?
34468You recognized Hall at once?
34468You say Lady Leconbridge was not agitated by her loss?
34468You say it rather doubtfully?
34468You see how I have placed them, Wigan, which way up the newspapers are, and the scraps of writing on this piece of paper? 34468 You think Mrs. Fitzroy is lying dead somewhere in this house?"
34468You think he may have had such a treasure, then?
34468You think the thieves were disturbed?
34468You were fond of him?
34468You were not in the habit of keeping the jewels at your banker''s?
34468You would like to find some reason to be suspicious of me?
34468You''re not quite sure?
34468You''re thinking I would give the old woman away to them?
34468You''ve been with Mr. Portman many years, have n''t you?
34468You''ve got the men, Wigan?
34468You?
34468Your master did n''t like them?
34468A coincidence?
34468A friend was helping him to get out of the country, and----""Who was the friend?"
34468Again, why had the murderer troubled to hide only one body?
34468And where would that ditch lead him?"
34468Anything interesting?"
34468Assuming this to be the work of an amateur, to what definite point does it lead you?"
34468Barrymore?"
34468Besides, if he had been robbed of his jewels, why should the sapphire have been left?
34468Bowman has returned to his office yet?"
34468Business called him to town, I presume?"
34468But do you remember the day Lord Delmouth married Lady Evelyn Malling?
34468But what possible object could he have in laying such a misleading trail?"
34468By the way, is the stone still at Scotland Yard?"
34468By the way, when you''re on holiday do you still keep your hip pocket filled?"
34468By the way, why is a golf course called links?"
34468By whom?
34468Can you row, Wigan?"
34468Could you swear the writing on the envelope was hers?"
34468Did he take it out of his pocket?"
34468Did he?
34468Did n''t a solemn voice from the Ionian Sea proclaim him to be dead?
34468Did n''t he tell you Simon Judd was buried?
34468Did the friend come?"
34468Did they show any evidence of his having worked as a convict?
34468Did you explore the cellars, which, I expect, are large?"
34468Did you meet Mary?"
34468Did you notice the nineteenth box?"
34468Did you particularly notice his eyes?
34468Did you see anyone else at the farm beside your uncles?"
34468Did you see how he touched his head several times to- night?"
34468Do n''t you remember his saying once that we ought to strive toward the heights, and see the truth which lies behind what we call truth?
34468Do n''t you remember?"
34468Do n''t you see the cleverness?
34468Do we not all know that subtle doubt which comes even hand in hand with what we believe is conviction?
34468Do you go armed?"
34468Do you imagine that an amateur could take the jewels from the lady''s neck without her knowing it?"
34468Do you know Jacob Hartmann?"
34468Do you know anything about this house?"
34468Do you mean by some bibliomaniac?"
34468Do you remember who was there at the time?"
34468Do you think paste might deceive an expert?"
34468Do you understand?
34468Do you?"
34468Does she know of any woman, a singer possibly, who has been worrying her husband to get her an engagement?"
34468Down the well?
34468Even if robbers had entered the room, how was Mr. Ratcliffe''s death to be accounted for?
34468Fitzroy?"
34468Fitzroy?"
34468Fitzroy?"
34468Fitzroy?"
34468For example, there is a safe in that corner, I see; did you by any chance find a pair of old slippers securely locked up in it?"
34468Further, why was Coulsdon found in the outer safe?
34468Gilson?"
34468Had he any document which, for private or public reasons, someone might be anxious to obtain?
34468Had he pestered her in her theater days and, because she scorned him, had he been responsible for the gossip three years ago?
34468Had the locks of the strong- room doors been repaired recently?"
34468Had the thief found what he was looking for?
34468Hartmann?"
34468Has anything further happened since we parted yesterday?"
34468Has he shown her the money?"
34468Have you any other case in hand or pending?"
34468Have you ever contemplated selling the diamonds?"
34468Have you just come from the police station?"
34468Have you the list of the books Hall was recommended to keep?"
34468He did not seem quite certain that he could not take it with him, did he?"
34468He did not vary them?"
34468He was married, I suppose?
34468How about finger- prints?"
34468How did he go to work?
34468How do you know?
34468How to get rid of him afterward?
34468I come back to my question, then: Why was the police station rung up at all?"
34468I gather that you know Mrs. Barrymore personally?"
34468I suppose it was you who drove her up yesterday?"
34468I suppose you can arrange for us to have access to Mr. Parrish''s house at Thornfield, Wigan?"
34468I suppose you can not give us any helpful suggestion in that direction?"
34468I suppose you have n''t done this?"
34468I suppose, Mr. Wigan, you have found out all about the people living on either side of Ratcliffe''s house?"
34468I understand that he would be in a position to give the necessary information if he chose to do so?"
34468I wonder if Sims could explain this?"
34468I wonder whether Mrs. Fitzroy did use the telephone much?"
34468I wonder whether there is any peril in such a journey?"
34468If I wanted to see her, would I send in my name?
34468If Simon Judd was dead, and his body was not in the well, where was it?
34468If the suggestion should take root, would they not at once search the galley?
34468Is Lady Leconbridge still in town?"
34468Is Mrs. Eccles honest?"
34468Is it likely I should have acquaintances in a gang of Continental thieves?"
34468Is it not only natural they should be?
34468Is it not possible that Hartmann and the diamonds were in some way connected in his mind?"
34468Is n''t that always considered the great point?"
34468Is she out?"
34468Is that the chest that wo n''t open?"
34468Is that the story?"
34468Is the old girl willing to come to terms?"
34468Is this wood you mention of any great extent?"
34468It is a possible view, eh?"
34468Jardine?"
34468May I ask if you are engaged to Miss Wickham?"
34468May I ask whether the full amount of the loss has yet been ascertained?"
34468May I become a friendly adviser?
34468May I look at the envelope they came in?"
34468Might he not have left the house by the window?
34468Might the shed not be the treasure chamber?
34468Mind?
34468Mrs. Smith is going to leave Riversmouth, you say?"
34468No doubt Coleman saw Gilson; but do you suggest it was a premeditated crime?"
34468Nothing has happened to make you change that opinion?"
34468Now were things generally found in unexpected places?
34468Now, how was it Glider gave his secret away to the man in yonder cabin?
34468Now, what is he looking for?"
34468Now, what possessed Dr. Smith to go for a sail on that particular day and at that time of the day?
34468Of course, Portman may not be dead, but if he is alive why should he run the risk of a police search among his papers?
34468Of course, you are aware that we had to dismiss a clerk recently?"
34468Quarles nodded, as though this argument impressed him; then he said suddenly:"What is George Cross like?"
34468Ratcliffe?"
34468Shall I telephone?"
34468Shall we go and look?"
34468Sims?"
34468Tell me, Jim, where is Simon Judd?"
34468The house is n''t isolated, is it?"
34468The night before last-- where was I?
34468There was some mystery-- the professor had said as much-- but surely he would not let his granddaughter run any risk?
34468There''s nothing wrong, is there?"
34468These stones have been in your family a long while?"
34468They were kept in the house, I presume?"
34468This case puzzles you?"
34468This fact suggested a question to my mind: was Isaacson telling the truth?
34468Thrown here, it suggests that the smoker might have been seated at the table, does n''t it?
34468To begin with, how came you to hear of the tragedy that you were able to be upon the scene so promptly?"
34468To your knowledge nothing has happened which would account for his absence?"
34468Unless it were anything of the gravest importance, would I mind coming again?
34468Was it not possible, he asked, that the mad owner of the car, believing that his chauffeur knew the truth, had killed him to protect himself?
34468Was it remarkable I should wonder if Mrs. Barrymore were responsible for the crimes here?
34468Was it twisted up somewhere?"
34468Was n''t there some gossip about her at the time of her marriage?"
34468Was that information obtained merely through somebody''s indiscretion?
34468Was there a doubt in their minds?
34468Was there any provision for her in the will if Mrs. Jardine died a natural death?"
34468Was there any support to this theory to be found?
34468We thanked Mr. Baines, and then, just as we were leaving, Quarles said:"By the way, do you happen to know a Mr. Charles Eade?"
34468Were they for dividends?"
34468Were you thinking of that, Zena?"
34468What danger could there be at Lantern House?
34468What do you make of it?"
34468What do you make of it?"
34468What do you make of the mystery?"
34468What do you make of this cigarette?"
34468What do you think of the bibliomaniac idea?"
34468What has the wife to say?
34468What is yours?"
34468What kind of man would be likely to want a head?
34468What kind of wounds?"
34468What time does it grow dark now, constable?"
34468What was he listening for?
34468What was her assailant doing while she turned up the number and rang up the exchange?"
34468What will they do?"
34468What''s the theory, professor?"
34468When is the inquest?"
34468Where does Isaacson live?
34468Where is he?"
34468Where is it?
34468Where was this master criminal to be found?"
34468Who can explain either the cunning or forgetfulness of a madman?
34468Who could have taken them?
34468Who was she?"
34468Why did n''t he give his own name then?"
34468Why had Coleman been recommended to mercy?
34468Why had I set a spy upon her movements?
34468Why had the murderer taken the head with him?
34468Why not show them to Jacob Hartmann?"
34468Why should a head be required?
34468Why should n''t the body have been left to come ashore too?
34468Why to him?"
34468Why was the police station rung up at all?"
34468Why write to her when you could so easily raise money on your expectations?"
34468Why, then, should he be dragged into the safe?
34468Why?
34468Why?
34468Why?"
34468Wigan?"
34468Wigan?"
34468Will you trust me, Lord Leconbridge?"
34468Without such care and thought, would he live to become a man?
34468Would shock have had such effect upon him, do you suppose, had he been attacked by Gilson, an innocent imbecile?"
34468You did not see them?"
34468You do n''t suppose I should let Zena go anywhere to be treated as a kind of housemaid, and in a way that no self- respecting servant would stand?"
34468You know nothing about him, I suppose?"
34468You know, of course, that Lady Leconbridge was an actress before her marriage?"
34468You remember the cigarette end?"
34468You remember the cook- housekeeper?"
34468You see why I did not want you to lock the door of this room?
34468You still think that?
34468You''re not thinking she had anything to do with the murder, are you?
34468Your disappearance will hardly reach to a nine days''wonder, and who will think to look for your body under the flags of this cellar?
34468Your granddaughter is well, I trust?"
34468reward to make us rich beyond the dreams of avarice?"
11373''What''s the matter? 11373 A blower?"
11373A dream?
11373A kind man?
11373A lady whom you met at Madam Cecile''s?
11373A lady would naturally tell the truth in such a predicament, would n''t she?
11373A man that you like?
11373A pawn to be sacrificed-- like Martinez?
11373A search?
11373A service?
11373Abominable? 11373 Afraid?"
11373After all, what harm can it do?
11373After all,he corrected himself,"what does it matter?
11373After all,he said carelessly,"what does it matter?
11373Ah, the girl has seen you?
11373Ah, what was that?
11373Ah, who?
11373Ah, you know about that?
11373Ah,he said,"are you ready?"
11373All for the best?
11373All right,he said,"we''ll go and play where the fairies are, but-- how do we get there?"
11373Am I talking to you with your cousin''s voice? 11373 Am I your cousin now?"
11373Am I? 11373 Am I?"
11373An appointment?
11373And Alice? 11373 And Dubois telegraphed to have this hellish thing done?"
11373And I am discharged from the force? 11373 And I''ve sort of got it in my head that-- do you want to know?"
11373And Kittredge objected to this?
11373And Paul Coquenil has n''t been bought? 11373 And about the safe?"
11373And after that?
11373And be found guilty?
11373And discharged you from the force?
11373And end the case?
11373And he lived in a nice way? 11373 And he paid you five hundred francs to go out of the house with him?"
11373And he spends two nights with you?
11373And his work? 11373 And if he went out from Number Six afterwards, I mean if he left the hotel, he must have passed you in the corridor?"
11373And if the door of Number Six had opened while your back was turned, would you have heard it?
11373And if you were mistaken?
11373And in Number Six?
11373And is that all?
11373And my mother?
11373And my mother?
11373And now Gibelin is in charge of the case?
11373And now what?
11373And she''s coming here?
11373And that is why you said you would n''t marry me?
11373And the boots?
11373And the insurance?
11373And the key to the alleyway door?
11373And the lady?
11373And the man in Number Seven, the murderer, lifted that picture from its nail before shooting and then put it back on the nail after shooting?
11373And the murderer?
11373And the only persons who passed Joseph were the woman and this American?
11373And the pistol? 11373 And the prisoner?"
11373And the smooth young widow lied?
11373And the window next to it?
11373And the woman? 11373 And the young man?"
11373And then? 11373 And these pieces of leather with the name and address, you have them?"
11373And this American? 11373 And this man''s name?"
11373And this?
11373And this?
11373And this?
11373And wait there?
11373And what did he tell you?
11373And what then?
11373And when shall I present the note?
11373And when-- when do you think this crime may be committed?
11373And why?
11373And you accepted it?
11373And you are sure it was_ his_ scheme to bore the holes?
11373And you are sure this is the man?
11373And you have this photograph?
11373And you held the curtain hangings back while he used the auger?
11373And you let Alice live all these years for the same reason?
11373And you let the fellow go?
11373And you think this''some one''was responsible for your discharge from the force?
11373And you threw it into the Seine as you crossed the Concorde bridge?
11373And you took this flap from the American?
11373And you want_ me_ at nine o''clock?
11373And you''re not Adolf Groener?
11373And you''re_ not_ thinking of going to Rio Janeiro?
11373And you''ve been giving orders to young Bobet?
11373And you-- you think it''s_ his_ doing?
11373And you?
11373And your safety?
11373And your''tall blonde''has it now?
11373And-- and you knew it was Gibelin all the time?
11373And-- and you refuse me?
11373And-- er-- you have made inquiries about me?
11373And-- when do you-- begin?
11373And-- you knew about the valet?
11373Any objection to my smoking a cigar?
11373Are n''t you chief of the detective bureau?
11373Are n''t you smoking too many of those things? 11373 Are n''t you sure?"
11373Are n''t you sure?
11373Are these his letters?
11373Are you a wood carver?
11373Are you going to the hairdresser''s now?
11373Are you going?
11373Are you interested in my plaster casts?
11373Are you mocking me?
11373Are you sure it was he? 11373 Are you sure there is no exit from the banquet room and from these private rooms except by the corridor?"
11373Are you sure you understand?
11373Are you sure your love would n''t change?
11373Are you sure?
11373Are you sure?
11373Are you sure?
11373Are you thinking of accepting the Rio Janeiro offer?
11373Are you trying to shield some one? 11373 As the one he had rescued from the Charity Bazaar fire?"
11373Because you wanted to see into the next room?
11373Besides, Alice was n''t in Brussels six weeks ago, was she?
11373Betray?
11373Burned?
11373But if I do?
11373But if he is guilty?
11373But if it is n''t honorable for him to tell her name?
11373But if you''re off the force?
11373But it was n''t true?
11373But not his face?
11373But now you remember everything?
11373But the dinner? 11373 But the holes were bored for you?"
11373But the lawyer?
11373But the news you were going to tell me?
11373But the pistol?
11373But the-- the position in Rio Janeiro?
11373But what do you call him?
11373But what shall I say if anyone asks me about it?
11373But why so much trouble,he asked,"when you have the woman''s name and address already?"
11373But why? 11373 But you knew I was writing in my diary?"
11373But you know the plan? 11373 But you know who was murdered?"
11373But you think so?
11373But you threaten my dog?
11373But you were present in the room?
11373But you''ll come back?
11373But, M. Paul-- er-- which day do you sail?
11373But, my dear woman,smiled Coquenil,"what has that to do with me?
11373But,she stammered,"would monsieur be so kind as to say what the bright object was?"
11373But-- but why?
11373But-- how the devil do you know that?
11373But-- what is it?
11373But-- what will you tell him?
11373By making me do a dishonorable thing?
11373By the way, are there any other exits from the banquet room except these two corridor doors?
11373By the way, have you any idea where we are?
11373By the way, how long have you known that I was working here in your stable?
11373By the way,he asked,"what do you think of_ that?_"He pointed to a Japanese print in a black frame that hung near the massive sideboard.
11373By this door,_ B?_"That''s the only way he could have come without my seeing him.
11373By what authority?
11373Ca n''t I have a pack of cards?
11373Caesar?
11373Can I help you?
11373Can the chambermaid describe her?
11373Can you describe this young man, Joseph?
11373Come, come,interrupted the chief,"what are you driving at?"
11373Could n''t you tell what you know in the newspapers?
11373Could you get your left eye there?
11373Could you-- give me a little brandy?
11373Did I do wrong?
11373Did I? 11373 Did Martinez look through the first hole after it was bored?"
11373Did Paul Coquenil send you here for_ that?_he questioned.
11373Did anyone else pass you, either going out or coming in?
11373Did anyone see her leave the hotel? 11373 Did he ever give you presents?"
11373Did n''t Martinez think your husband or Anita would see those holes in the wall?
11373Did n''t she tell you what she wanted?
11373Did she encourage him?
11373Did she go to Kittredge''s room?
11373Did she say_ why_ she thought him guilty or what changed her mind? 11373 Did she try to interpret this dream?"
11373Did she want Martinez killed?
11373Did this happen before the lady went out, or after?
11373Did you ever hear of a_ debt_ of honor? 11373 Did you expect to see this man here?"
11373Did you get it?
11373Did you happen to see the person who threw this thing?
11373Did you know him?
11373Did you know where he came from?
11373Did you make the complaint against me?
11373Did you pay five hundred francs to the woman who left the house with you?
11373Did you-- did you intend to kill her?
11373Did_ you_ look through the holes at all?
11373Did_ you_ see his face?
11373Did_ you_ suggest the holes through the wall?
11373Did_ yours_ change when they told you things about me? 11373 Do I understand that you were with the driver who took this American away from here to- night?"
11373Do I?
11373Do n''t I get a_ pourboire?_grumbled the driver.
11373Do n''t go? 11373 Do n''t you know this place?"
11373Do n''t you like wild country?
11373Do n''t you?
11373Do n''t you?
11373Do n''t you_ know_ who I am?
11373Do n''t you_ know_ you did?
11373Do n''t you_ see_ why? 11373 Do they know why Martinez bored these holes?"
11373Do you admit having had a struggle with Paul Coquenil one night on the street?
11373Do you hear what I say?
11373Do you hear, Groener?
11373Do you imagine the_ préfet de police_ is going to stand being pulled out of bed at three in the morning just because Paul Coquenil wants something? 11373 Do you know what day Tuesday is?"
11373Do you know what he means by saying that you would have spoiled his life and-- and all that?
11373Do you mean that M. Groener does not approve of me?
11373Do you mean to say that you do n''t_ know_ what you wrote?
11373Do you mean to tell us you have n''t had anything to do with her for six months?
11373Do you play tennis with your right hand or your left hand?
11373Do you really think so?
11373Do you recognize this man?
11373Do you recognize this writing?
11373Do you remember going to this drawer any time lately and finding it unlocked?
11373Do you remember the window from which he threw this object?
11373Do you remember what I told you about those alleyway footprints? 11373 Do you remember what he said?"
11373Do you see that red book? 11373 Do you still maintain that she is a lady whom you know personally?"
11373Do you think he knew the woman?
11373Do you think so? 11373 Do you want to ruin me?"
11373Do you?
11373Do? 11373 Do?
11373Does Gibelin know this?
11373Does Pougeot know about this?
11373Does anyone else know it?
11373Does she know it was a trick, about the ring?
11373Does she know that Groener is her stepfather, and not her cousin?
11373Does she speak with an accent?
11373Does_ he_ know?
11373Down near Saumur, was n''t it?
11373Easier?
11373Even at the sacrifice of your own feelings?
11373Everything ready?
11373Everything,snarled the other, then he burst out:"What the devil did you mean by sending that girl to me?"
11373Exactly, but how? 11373 Except you think it was n''t your husband?"
11373Excuse me,she smiled,"I did n''t get your name?"
11373Excuse me,ventured M. Gritz,"have you still much to do?"
11373Five hundred francs?
11373Fool him? 11373 For the scent?
11373For what?
11373François?
11373Go on, what is it?
11373Go on-- where?
11373Going away?
11373Going out?
11373Groener, do you still deny that this disguise belongs to you?
11373Groener,demanded the magistrate impressively,"do you still deny any connection with this crime or any knowledge concerning it?"
11373Groener,said the magistrate, his voice strangely formidable in the shadows,"do you recognize this room?"
11373Groener? 11373 Had the chambermaid ever seen this lady before?"
11373Had you no direct dealings with Anita?
11373Has anything been disturbed here? 11373 Have I spoiled your book?"
11373Have another glass?
11373Have n''t I helped you all these months? 11373 Have one?"
11373Have you any idea how you happened to dream that dream about me?
11373Have you anything to say about those finger- nail marks?
11373Have you been with her ever since?
11373Have you ever seen him before?
11373Have you found something-- sure?
11373Have you never heard of Paul Coquenil?
11373Have you recently been disguised as a wood carver?
11373Have you thought about the case? 11373 Have your joke, if you will, but,"he turned with sudden directness,"do n''t you_ remember_ when we had a blood- red sky like that?
11373He always comes when he says he will?
11373He is a good man?
11373He knew you as-- Groener?
11373He simply paid her five hundred francs to go out of the house with him?
11373He told you that?
11373He was covering his tracks in advance?
11373He was pretty blue that day, was n''t he? 11373 He wo n''t take you away,"said M. Paul reassuring,"that is, he wo n''t if-- See here, you trust me?"
11373He? 11373 Him?
11373His arm? 11373 How about this, Groener?"
11373How are you going to do it?
11373How can I prove it? 11373 How can I-- tell you-- unless you-- let me-- speak?"
11373How can you help him unless you speak out?
11373How could I? 11373 How did he know that you would n''t remember the name?
11373How did she die?
11373How did that happen?
11373How did you know Wilmott would not be there until nine?
11373How did you see me?
11373How did you stand as you listened to the speaker? 11373 How do I know?"
11373How do you know he did n''t change his boots when he burned the letters? 11373 How do you know he did n''t come?
11373How do you know it is the woman''s photograph?
11373How do you know she does?
11373How do you know that my name is Louis?
11373How do you know that?
11373How do you know there was?
11373How do you know we are underground?
11373How do you mean?
11373How else account for the facts? 11373 How far across the bridge had you got when you threw it?
11373How goes it?
11373How is your royal American constitution?
11373How long have you known him?
11373How long have you known this?
11373How many millions did you say he has?
11373How old is she?
11373How so?
11373How the devil did you know that?
11373How the devil do you know that?
11373How will you find her?
11373How? 11373 How?"
11373How?
11373I could n''t leave my dog, could I?
11373I do n''t admit it, but-- what if I were?
11373I do n''t ask what there was between you and M. Kittredge, but if there had been_ everything_ between you he could n''t have done more, could he? 11373 I do n''t ask you to do that,"she laughed,"but-- isn''t there_ anything_ you can think of?
11373I do n''t suppose you want to tell me what these words mean that she wrote?
11373I do n''t want to distress you, mademoiselle,said Coquenil gravely,"but are n''t you keeping something back?"
11373I mean the chase is nearly over?
11373I suppose you both know what has happened?
11373I suppose you did n''t go there to change your clothes before you called at Madam Cecile''s?
11373I was going to arrest him, sir,replied the other eagerly,"but----""Will you never learn your business?"
11373I wonder if you have anything against me personally?
11373I wonder why Anita changed her mind?
11373I''ll try,grumbled the other,"but what in Heaven''s name are you going to do with that dog?"
11373I''m an old fool, but-- but----"Well?
11373I''m daring something now, am I not? 11373 I?
11373I_ think_ we are on the Rue de Varennes-- a big_ hôtel_ back of the high wall?
11373If it''s murder, how do you account for the singed eyebrows? 11373 If it''s suicide,"objected Pougeot,"where is the weapon?
11373If you know all that, why waste time questioning me?
11373Important? 11373 In me?"
11373In what?
11373In which room will you begin?
11373Is M. Coquenil back yet?
11373Is Papa Tignol here?
11373Is anyone waiting for this gentleman?
11373Is anything wrong?
11373Is he going to see what it was?
11373Is he planning something?
11373Is it an important thing?
11373Is it really as good as that?
11373Is it reasonable that I could have lived with this girl for years in so intimate a way and been wearing a disguise all the time? 11373 Is it still used as a prison?"
11373Is it usually locked or unlocked?
11373Is it? 11373 Is n''t it over yet?"
11373Is n''t that reasonable?
11373Is she in trouble?
11373Is she pretty?
11373Is that harder than to influence the Brazilian Government? 11373 Is that true, or-- or do you only_ know_ it?"
11373Is that true?
11373Is that true?
11373Is the priest inside?
11373Is there any doubt about it?
11373Is this the-- er-- the subject?
11373Is this true?
11373Is this your man?
11373Is your mother living?
11373Is your name Adolf Groener?
11373It began to look bad, eh?
11373It seems true, it certainly seems true,he grumbled,"but-- how do you account for it?"
11373It was a shame, old fellow,said Tignol consolingly,"but we had to obey orders, eh?
11373It wo n''t be conjecture to- morrow morning-- it will be absolute proof, unless----"Unless what?
11373It''s a great pity, but----"Do you think I''ll stand for it? 11373 It''s all very clever,"reflected M. Paul,"but-- isn''t it_ too_ clever?
11373Knew what?
11373Let me ask first,replied Coquenil deliberately,"what you regard as the most important thing to be known in this case just now?"
11373Lied?
11373Like Vautrin in Napoleon''s day?
11373Lloyd,she whispered as he bent toward her,"ca n''t you trust me with that woman''s name?"
11373Locked on the outside?
11373Lost it? 11373 M. Paul, wo n''t you speak to me?"
11373Martinez?
11373May I ask_ why_ you have refused it?
11373May I see them?
11373May I take them?
11373Meaning me?
11373Might n''t it have been some one he sent?
11373Mind, I do n''t admit it, but suppose I was? 11373 More than a senator?
11373More? 11373 My dear Paul,"reasoned the commissary,"what can you do off the force?
11373Never had any words? 11373 Never mind the book, but-- how did you come to write this?"
11373No one can explain dreams, can they?
11373No one had told you you might see him?
11373No, but----"You said you found it?
11373No? 11373 No?
11373No? 11373 No?
11373No? 11373 No?
11373No?
11373None of these people knew you really?
11373Nor looked through these eyeholes?
11373Nor seen that man lying on the floor?
11373Not Dubois?
11373Not committed yet?
11373Not even a part of a pack? 11373 Not even her name?"
11373Not in prison?
11373Not your cousin?
11373Nothing, eh? 11373 Nothing?"
11373Now then,continued the judge,"have you got the witnesses?"
11373Now, sir, what have you to say?
11373Now,said Coquenil, as they left the garage,"where can we go and be quiet?
11373Now,she continued,"you have a chest of drawers in your room with two brass dogs fighting about the lock plates?"
11373Now,_ did_ anyone pass you in the corridor, anyone except the lady?
11373Oh, can you? 11373 Oh, yes,"exclaimed Alice, her face lighting with new hope,"I think I could, I am sure I could, only-- will they let me see him?"
11373One moment,Kittredge said, and then to the clinging girl:"Why do you ask that woman''s name when you know it already?"
11373Or a person might have gone into Number Six from either Number Five or Number Seven without your seeing him?
11373Or shall we go on?
11373Papa Bonneton,answered Coquenil earnestly,"have I ever shown you anything but friendship?
11373Persons who know about the crime-- I mean, who know the truth about it?
11373Persons whom you represent?
11373Plan for what?
11373Playing the flute?
11373Really?
11373Remember that blackmail case,whispered Tignol,"when we sneaked the countess out by the Rue de l''Arcade?
11373See here, what are you trying to do?
11373See here,broke in the latter,"would n''t you be ugly if somebody butted into a case that had been given to you?"
11373See here,he said abruptly,"what have you done with that auger?"
11373See here,said the detective, addressing him,"do you want to earn five francs?"
11373See here,went on Dedet, almost appealingly,"do you believe a girl I never saw could know a thing about me that_ nobody_ knows?"
11373Shall I take Caesar?
11373Shall I take an auto?
11373Shall I tell you why? 11373 She did n''t say who this person is that she thought guilty last night?"
11373She did?
11373She has the air of a princess, that girl,he mused,"Who is she?
11373She sent me money?
11373She understands, she will be careful, but-- there''s nothing for her to worry about now-- is there?
11373She was your mistress? 11373 So is Hauteville sorry, but-- if you''re sorry, why did you let the thing happen?"
11373So you would not have seen anyone who might have come out of Number Six at that time or gone into Number Six?
11373So, if the murderer went out, he must have passed Joseph?
11373Some reason connected with the girl?
11373Sorry?
11373Stole them?
11373Suffer?
11373Suppose I get the dog while you are changing?
11373Suppose I refuse?
11373Suppose I see the workman who is finishing the casts?
11373Sure? 11373 Tell me,"she asked abruptly,"is your name Alice?"
11373That American, Kittredge, who was arrested last night?
11373That does n''t matter, does it? 11373 That is n''t a French name?"
11373That was Brazil?
11373That was all for Gibelin?
11373That was the only service you were to render, was it, for this sum of money, simply to leave the house with him and drive away in a carriage?
11373That will be Wednesday night and Thursday night of next week?
11373That would put the guilt on one or the other of those two?
11373That''s a fine- sounding word, but what does it mean? 11373 That''s all very fine,"he objected,"but if you hated this woman, why did you risk prison and-- worse, to get her things?
11373The auger?
11373The confessional box was empty--_Alice was gone!_"''You mean that Father Anselm helped her to run away?'' 11373 The corridor is narrow, sir, and I"--he looked down complacently at his ample form--"I pretty well fill it up, do n''t I, sir?"
11373The door that leads to Number Seven?
11373The dream? 11373 The game?
11373The girl at Notre- Dame?
11373The girl?
11373The man said you wanted me and I came at once, but, in the automobile, I felt something was wrong and-- you know_ he_ is outside?
11373The one that leads to Madam Cecile''s?
11373The one who is innocent? 11373 The owner of the pistol we found in the courtyard?"
11373The pistol?
11373The woman ran away, did n''t she? 11373 The woman?"
11373The wood- carver game diverted you?
11373Then M. Kittredge knew Martinez?
11373Then anyone coming along the corridor might have turned the key and entered Number Seven?
11373Then he''s in one of the upper apartments now?
11373Then how about_ me_, if I want_ your_ friendship, if I''m hungry for it, if it''s all I have in life? 11373 Then how did you dare go in there?"
11373Then if I stood the test you would believe me innocent?
11373Then my commission is signed?
11373Then she knew at luncheon that you would take her back to Brussels?
11373Then the gist of it is,he resumed uneasily,"you think some great crime is preparing?"
11373Then the man who gives you this woman''s name and address will render a real service?
11373Then there_ was_ a quarrel and you_ did_ threaten him?
11373Then this banquet- room door was open?
11373Then what was the matter with you just now?
11373Then why did she want the holes bored?
11373Then why did you quarrel with Martinez?
11373Then you are_ not_ Madam Marius?
11373Then you consider your love for this other woman-- I presume you mean the girl at Notre- Dame?
11373Then you did find something?
11373Then you did n''t mean what you were saying in the automobile about having doubts?
11373Then you have absolutely no idea who fired the shot?
11373Then you know what time it is?
11373Then you really expect to see--_him?_questioned the old man.
11373Then you refuse?
11373Then you will betray me?
11373Then you will never be my wife? 11373 Then,"cried Tignol excitedly,"then Groener is_ not_ a wood carver?"
11373Then-- do you know whether M. Kittredge plays tennis?
11373Then-- then what in thunder do you mean,he demanded fiercely,"by saying you drop this case?"
11373Then-- then what shall I do with these?
11373Then-- then you_ wanted_ me to read the diary?
11373Then-- then_ how_ is he at liberty?
11373There''s no doubt about it,he muttered,"but-- how_ can_ there be a draught here?"
11373They? 11373 This is what you call the alleyway?"
11373This opens directly into Number Seven?
11373Three?
11373To begin with, who is the man with the long little finger that she told me about?
11373To make her?
11373To- morrow, not to- day?
11373Under what circumstances?
11373Was he enough of a friend to be jealous of Martinez?
11373Was he in it? 11373 Was he put in a cell?"
11373Was it a serious quarrel? 11373 Was it solid gold?"
11373Was it you personally who killed my dog?
11373Was it?
11373Was there any quarreling with the woman?
11373We ca n''t, eh? 11373 We take our medicine, eh?
11373We take our medicine, eh?
11373We would n''t sell our best friend, would we, Caesar?
11373We''ll show''em, eh, Caesar?
11373Well, well,broke in M. Paul,"what did you discover?"
11373Well, well?
11373Well, what is it?
11373Well,he asked when they were alone,"what is it?"
11373Well,remarked the commissary when they were settled in their chairs,"I suppose it''s the Rio Janeiro thing?
11373Well,_ is n''t_ it strange? 11373 Well?
11373Well?
11373Well?
11373Well?
11373Well?
11373Well?
11373Well?
11373Well?
11373Well?
11373Were Kittredge and Martinez good friends?
11373Were you in danger?
11373Were you present at the fire?
11373Were you this woman''s lover?
11373Wha- at?
11373Wha- at?
11373Wha- at?
11373Wha- at?
11373What are you doing here at this hour?
11373What are you doing here?
11373What are you going to do to me?
11373What are you going to do with him?
11373What can I do for you, mademoiselle?
11373What can we do?
11373What day was it you found the_ petit bleu?_put in Coquenil.
11373What did I mean?
11373What did he give you?
11373What did he mean by that?
11373What did she do?
11373What did you do with the auger?
11373What did you do with the boots you were trying to return that night?
11373What did you do?
11373What difference does it make which hole the man fired through so long as he shot straight and got away?
11373What difference? 11373 What do you expect?"
11373What do you mean by that?
11373What do you mean?
11373What do you mean?
11373What do you mean?
11373What do you mean?
11373What do you mean?
11373What do you say to that, Groener?
11373What do you think I am? 11373 What do you want me to tell you?"
11373What do you want to know?
11373What do you want with me?
11373What do_ you_ say, Kittredge?
11373What do_ you_ think?
11373What does all this prove?
11373What does that mean?
11373What does this mean?
11373What duty?
11373What had I to gain by his death? 11373 What happened where?"
11373What has happened?
11373What in the mischief is Coquenil up to?
11373What in the world does this mean?
11373What is a good point?
11373What is it, my friend?
11373What is it, you little beauty?
11373What is it? 11373 What is it?"
11373What is it?
11373What is it?
11373What is that?
11373What is that?
11373What is the depot?
11373What is the name of the Frenchman whom your mother married?
11373What is there in these letters,he touched the packet before him,"but passion and jealousy?
11373What is there to think about?
11373What is this?
11373What is your name?
11373What is your name?
11373What is your name?
11373What is your name?
11373What is your name?
11373What kind is he?
11373What kind of a lady?
11373What made that mark on your leg?
11373What makes you think I ate an orange?
11373What name?
11373What of it? 11373 What reason?"
11373What sort of a woman was she? 11373 What then?"
11373What things?
11373What things?
11373What was it?
11373What was the inscription?
11373What was there to make him jealous?
11373What would_ you_ have done?
11373What''s commuting, Lloyd?
11373What''s the difference?
11373What''s the matter? 11373 What''s the name of my old servant?"
11373What''s the name of the canary bird I gave her last week?
11373What''s the trouble?
11373What, the detective?
11373What? 11373 What?"
11373What?
11373What?
11373What_ are_ you doing?
11373What_ right_ had you to love him, you a married woman?
11373When did you recover your memory?
11373When do you sail?
11373When shall I see you again?
11373When was that?
11373Where are we going, anyway?
11373Where are you going?
11373Where do you think you are?
11373Where does he eat?
11373Where does he live?
11373Where does this room get_ its_ air from?
11373Where is the banquet?
11373Where is your confessional?
11373Where the wood carver lives?
11373Where?
11373Whether he wishes to or not?
11373Who are you then?
11373Who are you?
11373Who can say? 11373 Who is it?"
11373Who is that?
11373Who is the girl in there? 11373 Who is this?"
11373Who sat there?
11373Who shot him?
11373Who was it? 11373 Who were''we''?"
11373Who, pray, are''we''?
11373Who-- who is he?
11373Whom do you accuse?
11373Why did n''t I burn them, why did n''t I burn them?
11373Why did n''t you tell me sooner? 11373 Why did she tell you about it?"
11373Why did you do it?
11373Why do I think anything? 11373 Why do you arrest him?
11373Why do you ask me that? 11373 Why do you say naturally?"
11373Why do you say that? 11373 Why do you think it''s a great game?"
11373Why do you think she is an American?
11373Why do you think_ this_ was planned in advance?
11373Why do you want to know that?
11373Why have n''t I done it? 11373 Why have you done it, my boy?"
11373Why in thunder is he such a fool as to go there?
11373Why is it?
11373Why must I sit in this chair? 11373 Why not?
11373Why not? 11373 Why not?"
11373Why not?
11373Why not?
11373Why not?
11373Why not?
11373Why should I tell you? 11373 Why should I?"
11373Why should she take it? 11373 Why should you refuse if you are innocent?"
11373Why was n''t it accomplished?
11373Why, do n''t_ you_ know?
11373Why, what is this?
11373Why, what''s the matter?
11373Why,he started,"what is this?"
11373Why-- er-- what''s the matter?
11373Why-- was the priest in it?
11373Why?
11373Why?
11373Why?
11373Why?
11373Will it make you feel happier?
11373Will you have something, or shall we move on?
11373Will you wait here, cousin, by my little table?
11373With a salary of a hundred thousand francs?
11373With the key in the lock?
11373With this prison affair given as the reason?
11373With you?
11373Wo n''t you sit over here? 11373 Would any man write words like that to a woman unless he were her lover?
11373Would you call her a lady?
11373Would you mind coming here a moment?
11373Would you mind telling me something, mademoiselle?
11373Would you mind telling me the name of the person-- of course it''s a man-- who has this hand?
11373Would you mind very much if we did n''t start until five or ten minutes past three?
11373Would you want me to owe my safety to_ her?_"Oh, no,she murmured.
11373Would you?
11373Yes, I understand and I will do what you tell me,she answered firmly,"but----""Well?"
11373Yes, and, Lloyd, she is sorry for the harm she has done and----"You have seen her?
11373Yes, but do you realize it''s after three o''clock?
11373Yes, but the leather sleeve?
11373Yes, but----"Did n''t you follow her to Europe in the steerage because of your infatuation? 11373 Yes, but----""Well?"
11373Yes, of course,agreed Alice,"but how shall I get a lawyer?"
11373Yes, yes?
11373Yes,she murmured,"and-- what were you saying?"
11373Yes? 11373 Yes?"
11373Yes?
11373Yes?
11373Yes?
11373Yes?
11373Yes?
11373You admit that the lady told the truth?
11373You are M. Lo- eed Keetredge?
11373You are Madam Cecile?
11373You are engaged to a young dressmaker who has a room near yours on the sixth floor?
11373You are not to blame, only-- God, what can I do?
11373You are sure of that?
11373You are sure?
11373You believe it was the assassin himself who met you?
11373You bought the auger for Martinez and told him where to bore the holes?
11373You consider your love for her a fine, pure love in contrast to the other love?
11373You did n''t change your boots after leaving the Ansonia?
11373You did not prepare her for this meeting in any way?
11373You did not remember your mother during these years?
11373You do n''t even know her name?
11373You do n''t know her name?
11373You do n''t know his name?
11373You do n''t mean that you think the American may be guilty?
11373You do n''t mind if I smoke?
11373You do n''t think that, you_ ca n''t_ think that of me?
11373You do n''t think they have forgotten anything?
11373You do n''t? 11373 You examined his things?"
11373You gave the auger to Gibelin? 11373 You got facts about him?"
11373You had nothing against him personally?
11373You have all this evidence against him?
11373You have been in this room?
11373You have lived a long time in France?
11373You have n''t a young cousin known as Alice Groener?
11373You have no idea?
11373You have seen a hand with a little finger as long as this one?
11373You have the facts of this crime?
11373You heard the shot? 11373 You keep a_ maison de rendez- vous_ on the Place de la Madeleine?"
11373You knew Martinez very well?
11373You know he''s been clipped?
11373You know my name? 11373 You know she''s in love with this American who''s in prison?"
11373You know that?
11373You lied to me?
11373You live at the Hôtel des Étrangers on the Rue Racine?
11373You make this accusation deliberately, realizing the gravity of what you say?
11373You mean Lloyd? 11373 You mean Martinez was attentive to her?"
11373You mean Paul Coquenil, the detective?
11373You mean for confession?
11373You mean from the_ préfet de police?_M. Simon laid a warning finger on his lips.
11373You mean in a museum?
11373You mean that Father Anselm helped her to run away?
11373You mean that I might have to go there?
11373You mean that I_ can not_ arrest you?
11373You mean that Paris has a criminal able to overrule the wishes of a chief of police?
11373You mean that for years you did not remember what you have just testified?
11373You mean the chief revoked my commission?
11373You mean the murders in the Rue Montaigne?
11373You mean the thing that holds the shelf up?
11373You mean the wood carver?
11373You mean they are policemen? 11373 You mean to say he went in the second cabin?
11373You mean your right eye?
11373You mean, her memory?
11373You mean-- without trial?
11373You mean_ both?_"Yes.
11373You met her there by appointment?
11373You met him at Madam Cecile''s?
11373You never knew of any quarrel between Kittredge and Martinez? 11373 You never threatened Martinez with violence?
11373You really think this young man innocent, do you?
11373You recognized him?
11373You refuse? 11373 You regard_ me_ as a great criminal?"
11373You remember this letter? 11373 You remember whom you paid them to?"
11373You remembered what I told you?
11373You saw him?
11373You saw it?
11373You saw the body, the man''s body?
11373You saw the genuine picture?
11373You say he had a fine position in New York?
11373You say he takes Alice out every time he comes? 11373 You say it_ forces_ him to betray himself?"
11373You say you had no quarrel with Martinez?
11373You say you would like one of my teeth?
11373You say you_ know_ this?
11373You say_ he_ is here?
11373You still deny having been in the alleyway?
11373You think I resigned from the police force two years ago, do n''t you?
11373You think Martinez bored those holes? 11373 You think he went higher up?"
11373You think it''s a great joke on me because I paid you five francs? 11373 You think not?"
11373You think she may be older?
11373You think this case so interesting?
11373You thought we would overlook the little fifth- floor room, eh?
11373You told M. Kittredge when you called for him in the cab that you thought your husband guilty?
11373You told them to come?
11373You understand that we are in private room Number Seven, do n''t you? 11373 You were-- there?"
11373You will take your meals with us?
11373You wo n''t leave me? 11373 You wo n''t refuse them-- for him?"
11373You wore them to the Ansonia on the night of the crime?
11373You would n''t do that?
11373You would n''t have me take it?
11373You''ll do exactly what I tell you,_ exactly_, without asking how or why?
11373You''ll have a cup of tea with me, wo n''t you? 11373 You''ll need money?"
11373You''re after information from the sixth floor?
11373You''re dying to know what I''ve been doing these last five days, eh?
11373You''re going away?
11373You''re in a hurry, are n''t you? 11373 You''ve never worn it before?"
11373You-- you did?
11373You-- you mean the fire will come through now?
11373You-- you''re not going to try?
11373You?
11373Your friend Gibelin?
11373Your mother married a Frenchman?
11373Your nationality?
11373_ Bien!_"Is there anything else before I send for him? 11373 _ It was guillotine!_""Ah?"
11373_ Nom d''un chien_, I guess you''re straight, after all, but--_how_ did she come to write that?
11373_ Tiens!_ What is that?
11373_ Why_ is it awkward?
11373''What for?''
11373''What is it, Pussy?
11373''Why do n''t you speak?''
11373A few words now for the answer, the refusal, the defiance, and-- then what?
11373A jumping jack for you to pull a string and make me dance?
11373A lady or-- or not?"
11373A murderer with those kind, jolly eyes?
11373About the pressure marks?
11373After all you approve of what I did?"
11373After all, what had he acted on?
11373After all, why not?
11373Ah, is this part of the photograph?"
11373Ah, you did n''t know that?
11373Alice looked at him steadily for a moment and then in a low voice she spoke the words that were pressing on her heart:"_ What_ have you done?"
11373Alice turned and said quietly:"Was the woman who came in the carriage the one you told us about?"
11373Am I right?"
11373Am I your cousin?"
11373And Hauteville?"
11373And I suppose you''ve always known how to do those corking fine embroideries that the priests are so stuck on?
11373And I want to know_ which_ hand he uses chiefly, that is, the right or the left?"
11373And even if they were n''t, do you suppose it would be possible to convict the Baron de Heidelmann- Bruck of_ any_ crime?
11373And had he the others?
11373And he put them behind the curtain hangings so that your waiter would n''t see them?"
11373And how did she learn to use her hands like a great lady?
11373And how did you know where the girl was?"
11373And how does it come that you look like a dead swell?
11373And that hair?
11373And the footprints?"
11373And the girl?"
11373And the hands, the arms?
11373And the lead pencil?"
11373And the swarthy tone of the skin which he noticed now in the improving light, was that natural?
11373And the voice?
11373And then?"
11373And this?"
11373And what about the chest of drawers?"
11373And what is that?
11373And what would happen now?
11373And where did you get those hands like a saint in a stained- glass window?
11373And who was Alice, this girl whose dreams and fears changed the lives of serious men?
11373And why did he hate Kittredge?
11373And you would like to make five hundred?"
11373And you would n''t listen?"
11373And, turning to the judge:"Would n''t it be a good idea to send a man to London with this?
11373And-- Lucien?"
11373And-- you showed her the ring?"
11373And_ am_ I left- handed?"
11373Any news?"
11373Any quarrel?"
11373Anything else?"
11373Anything else?"
11373Anything like a shot?"
11373Anyway, what difference does it make since he did n''t come to- night?"
11373Are n''t you building a good deal on that dream?"
11373Are you sure you remember it exactly?"
11373Are you willing to make the test?"
11373But Alice answered anxiously:"You understand it''s nothing I have done that is wrong, nothing I''m ashamed of?"
11373But I know enough, I know that you tortured him and-- when he got free from you, after struggling and-- starving and----""Starving?"
11373But can they find us?
11373But do n''t you see that is what I did n''t want?
11373But how can we prove it?"
11373But how did you learn?
11373But if it was_ not_ a bluff?
11373But why?
11373But you''ll surely come, Lloyd?"
11373By the way, where_ was_ the gentleman murdered?
11373CHAPTER XV PUSSY WILMOTT''S CONFESSION"Then your husband was the person you thought guilty that night?"
11373CHAPTER XXV THE MOVING PICTURE"Are you feeling better?"
11373Ca n''t you promise me that?"
11373Ca n''t you remember it-- at all?"
11373Can they find us?
11373Can we sit down somewhere?"
11373Can you even prove that I was at the place where he was murdered at the critical moment?
11373Can you make that clear?
11373Come, what is it?"
11373Coquenil hesitated before he said with an effort:"Do you think it''s necessary to-- to include_ her_ in this-- affair?"
11373Coquenil paused, and then said mysteriously:"That''s the point,_ did_ they help me?
11373Coquenil stared at his brown seal ring and then muttered savagely:"How did he know the name of that infernal canary bird?"
11373Could a dog remember a scent for ten days?
11373Could anything be simpler?
11373Could he explain it to anyone, even to himself?
11373Could it be false?
11373Could there be a hidden purpose here?
11373Dead?...
11373Did Groener know he was talking to Paul Coquenil?
11373Did Kittredge make any threats?"
11373Did he honestly believe all the plausible things he had said to Pougeot and the others about this crime?
11373Did it change when they arrested me and put me in prison?
11373Did n''t I almost plead with you to drop this case?
11373Did n''t I warn you?
11373Did n''t you bear sufferings and privations to be near her?
11373Did n''t you give up your position in America for this woman?"
11373Did n''t you know that?
11373Did she drop any hint?
11373Did you ever hear of such a case, doctor?"
11373Did you ever hear of the third degree, Groener?"
11373Did you ever hear your cousin speak with my voice?"
11373Did you ever suspect that your cousin wore a wig or a false beard?"
11373Did you find them?"
11373Did you give her all my messages?
11373Did you know that private room Number Seven would not be occupied that night by Wilmott and the dancing girl?"
11373Did you know that, Alice?"
11373Discharged in disgrace?"
11373Do I get a smile now?"
11373Do n''t we compare microscopic lines on criminals''thumbs?
11373Do n''t you see the same hand behind it all?"
11373Do n''t you see?"
11373Do n''t you suppose I know what you are thinking?
11373Do n''t you suppose he will suffer to find that you have no sympathy with his wishes?"
11373Do n''t you understand?"
11373Do these persons know what covered the holes in Number Seven?"
11373Do you deny that you have a room, rented by the year, in the house where Madam Cecile has her apartment?
11373Do you deny that?"
11373Do you deny that?"
11373Do you deny threatening Martinez with violence?"
11373Do you even know her name?"
11373Do you feel anything?"
11373Do you feel the air blowing through_ toward_ us?
11373Do you follow me?"
11373Do you know me so little as that?"
11373Do you know these faces, Groener?"
11373Do you know what the previous word was?"
11373Do you know who she is?"
11373Do you mind waiting a couple of minutes?
11373Do you mind?"
11373Do you mind?"
11373Do you recognize them?"
11373Do you recognize_ this_ face?"
11373Do you remember it, dear?"
11373Do you see those short pointed towers?
11373Do you see?
11373Do you see?"
11373Do you suppose I could have some?"
11373Do you think Rio Janeiro offered me a hundred thousand francs a year just for my beautiful eyes?"
11373Do you think he would like to make a hundred francs by doing nothing?
11373Do you think he would?"
11373Do you think it''s easy to give up gambling?
11373Do you think it''s easy to live in a measly little room up six flights of black, smelly stairs, with no fire in winter?
11373Do you understand?"
11373Do_ you_ know the story?"
11373Do_ you_ think he''s fit to handle this case?"
11373Does Kittredge know him?
11373Does she know that-- that she_ is n''t_ Alice?"
11373Eh, Papa Tignol?"
11373Eh?"
11373Ever heard of that?"
11373Evidently there was a scent here, but what scent?
11373First, I want you to take this money-- you will take it now_ for him?_ That''s right, put it in your dress.
11373For some moments the two were silent, then M. Paul asked gravely:"How soon will the girl be here?"
11373Got that?"
11373Had any harm befallen her?
11373Has anyone touched this body?"
11373Has he ever had words with him or any trouble?
11373Have you a letter for me?"
11373Have you any idea how much M. Kittredge paid for that gold bag?"
11373Have you anything else to report?"
11373Have you got that?"
11373Have you thought that, if you give it up, an innocent man will suffer and a guilty man will go unpunished?"
11373He had a key to the alleyway door, did n''t he?"
11373He had plenty of money?"
11373He has started a blower, I tell you, and----""What_ is_ a blower?"
11373He looked at her in surprise, and then, with challenging directness:"Why not?"
11373He must be a senator or-- or something like that?"
11373He was about to speak impatiently, but before her evident distress he checked the words and asked gently:"Is it something against me?"
11373He_ ca n''t_ be bought-- can he?"
11373Her thoughts wandered from the page and flew back to her lover; Why was he so impatient?
11373Her wraps?
11373How about that, Lloyd?"
11373How can you hope to succeed single- handed, when it was hard to succeed with the whole prefecture to help you?"
11373How can you shadow people who shadow you?
11373How could a man in this room kill a man in the next room?
11373How could a man refuse a salary of a hundred thousand francs?
11373How could he explain what he had done to his wise old mother?
11373How could that be?
11373How could that serve him?
11373How dared he come on such an errand to him, Paul Coquenil?
11373How did Martinez get possession of your secret?"
11373How did he get it?
11373How did he know that you had n''t copied the name and given it to one of us-- say to me?"
11373How did he know that?
11373How did she get here?
11373How did the murderer get so near?"
11373How did you do it?"
11373How do you feel about this thing yourself?"
11373How do you know a man did it?
11373How do you know she did n''t take it?"
11373How do you know that your lover does n''t owe_ me_ such a debt and is n''t paying it now down there?"
11373How far along the alleyway did you look?"
11373How had Martinez come upon it?
11373How had he profited by the death of this unfortunate billiard player?
11373How had the judge got this letter?
11373How long do you suppose it will take us to identify them among the Charity Bazaar unfortunates?
11373How long does it take?"
11373How many murders can you remember in Paris restaurants, I mean smart restaurants?"
11373How many red sunsets have there been since we found those two poor women stretched out in their white- and- gold_ salon_?
11373How were these two facts to be reconciled?
11373How?
11373I do n''t doubt you, M. Groener, but I''m a sort of official here and this is a serious charge, so I ask if you are_ sure_ it was Father Anselm?".
11373I do n''t suppose you remember it?"
11373I mean, what did she wear outside?
11373I needed some one to help me and I-- I could n''t ask a man who knew me so----""Then Martinez did n''t know you?"
11373I suppose you have a scales that registers innocent or guilty when the accused stands on it?"
11373I suppose you threw it over on the right- hand side?"
11373I suppose you will deny it?"
11373I suppose_ you_ can tell which of the two holes was bored first?"
11373I suppose_ you_ have decided that?"
11373I understand your feelings, but-- would you know her again?"
11373I would n''t have you do a dishonorable thing; but----""Who told you to ask me these questions?"
11373I''d like to know how the devil I''m going to be a hero now?"
11373I_ love_ that dog, if anything happened to him-- well, I do n''t like to think of it, but I let you have him, did n''t I?
11373If he had killed this man, do you think_ anything_ would have brought him back here for that cloak and bag?"
11373If he had, do you suppose I would have told you this?
11373If he wanted to be saved that way, would n''t he denounce me himself?
11373If it had n''t been about the_ most_ important thing, do you think I''d have broken a prison rule and let her see that man?
11373If not, what was his motive in this elaborate fooling?
11373If the mere word"Charity Bazaar"had struck this man dumb with fear what would the thing itself do, the revolting, ghastly thing?
11373If they had caught him they would have told you, would n''t they?"
11373If you ever should have, you would tell me, would n''t you?"
11373If you will promise to respect them as my personal property?"
11373In a private dining room?...
11373In spite of all I have said you have confidence that I could do this man up--_somehow_, eh?"
11373Is he dark or fair?
11373Is her cousin''s little finger really very long?"
11373Is it the one on this side that you press or the one on that side?"
11373Is n''t he really her cousin?"
11373Is n''t it possible that this bright thing was thrown from the window_ next_ to the end one?"
11373Is n''t it something you''ve heard that I''ve done or-- or not done?
11373Is n''t my friendship something?"
11373Is n''t that about what you would say?"
11373Is n''t that true, doctor?"
11373Is n''t that true?"
11373Is she fond of him?"
11373Is she well?
11373Is she worried?
11373Is that a crime?"
11373Is that correct?"
11373Is that it?"
11373Is that it?"
11373Is that it?"
11373Is that right?"
11373Is that saying too much?"
11373Is that understood?"
11373Is there anything else you want to ask?"
11373Is there anything you wish to say before I go?"
11373Is_ she_ charged with murder?"
11373It did n''t bolt itself, did it?"
11373It does n''t make a man a murderer because he''s hungry, does it?"
11373It seems like a stupid blunder, does n''t it?
11373It''s part of the mystery, eh?"
11373It''s true she made one mistake that ruined her life and practically killed her, still----""What mistake was that?"
11373Kittredge?"
11373LLOYD KITTREDGE LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS"''We''ll show''em, eh, Caesar?''"
11373Leave you?
11373Let me see, it''s on the Avenue-- Where did I put her address?"
11373Lloyd, you wo n''t leave me?"
11373M. Paul glanced at his watch and then said quietly:"Would you mind asking if some one is waiting for me outside?"
11373M. Paul laid a soothing hand on her arm and said kindly:"Are you afraid of him?"
11373M. Paul opened his eyes and said in a dull tone:"Did you take the girl to Pougeot last night?"
11373M. Paul started, paused in a flash of thought, and then, with sudden eagerness:"I see,_ that''s it!_""What''s it?"
11373Matthieu?"
11373Matthieu?"
11373May I have one of your cards?"
11373May I walk along with you?"
11373My house is full of policemen?"
11373Never?
11373No doubt he has misconducted himself, but----""You mean Anita?"
11373No matter what I do or how long I wait?
11373No words?"
11373No, it is n''t possible?"
11373No?
11373Now I want to know why you quarreled with him six months ago?"
11373Now let''s drop all that and-- do you want to make me the happiest man in the world?
11373Now tell me this, could anyone have passed you in the corridor while you stood at the banquet- room door without your knowing it?"
11373Now then, my stubborn friend, what about these garments?
11373Now then,_ who are you?_""Do n''t ask who I am,"pleaded the lady.
11373Now who bought this auger?"
11373Now, then, have you ever had gout or rheumatism?
11373Now-- what is your name?"
11373Of course I''m glad for you; it''s a great chance, but--_will_ you take Caesar?"
11373Oh, her cousin?"
11373Oh, the things he wore?
11373Or hinder me?
11373Or the woman either-- except one?"
11373Or was it a brief snatch of sleep?
11373Or was it possible,_ could_ it be possible, that he was what he appeared to be, a simple- minded wood carver free from any wickedness or duplicity?
11373Paul, he will be found guilty?"
11373Paul?"
11373Paul?"
11373Pay attention-- tell me-- am I?"
11373Pete?
11373Please, the right hand or the left?"
11373Pretty, is n''t it?
11373Priests have sisters, did n''t you know that?
11373See here, did_ you_ look behind them?"
11373See?
11373See?"
11373Shall I go over the details of what you did, as I have them here, in order to refresh your memory?"
11373She boards with you, does n''t she?"
11373She hesitated a moment and then burst out in a flash of feeling:"Because I knew that a wretched dancing girl was going to be there with----""Yes?"
11373She looked at him in frightened appeal, and then, with a gesture of half surrender:"For Heaven''s sake, how much more do you know about me?"
11373She shot a frightened glance at him and then faltered:"It-- it was?"
11373So I ask if you will provide a lawyer?"
11373So how can you fight us?
11373So what did he expect to gain by it?
11373So why should this person send you to Brazil?"
11373Some parting instructions, eh?"
11373Something about yourself?"
11373Speaking of cooks, how did you know the name of that canary bird?"
11373Strange, is it not?"
11373Strange, is n''t it?"
11373Surely this brusque individual did not imagine that he, Coquenil, would be simple enough to let him go now that he had him in his power?
11373Tall or short?
11373Tell me if you know anything about this crime of which he is accused?"
11373Tell me, did you come down many stairs?"
11373Tell me, first, if you have money to employ a lawyer?"
11373Tell me, my friend, do you suffer from sudden shooting pains-- here, over your eyes?"
11373That beard?
11373That is how your father felt when he left me to-- to-- you understand, my boy?"
11373That note for M. Robert?
11373That was the question now, what would this hideous moving picture do to a fire- fearing assassin already on the verge of collapse?
11373That woman-- what did she wear?"
11373That would be your general idea, eh?"
11373That would n''t be a nice story to tell the commissary of police, would it?
11373That''s all I''ve had to do here, and-- for instance, I said to myself:''How the devil does she happen to speak English without any accent?''
11373That''s another point: why should the police department discharge me two years ago and recommend me now to a foreign city?
11373That''s why I thought----""I understand,"he said comfortingly,"and the Lord knows I want to get out of this hole, but-- we''ve got to play fair, eh?
11373That, of course, seemed most unlikely, since the shooting was done in Number Six, yet how account for the woman''s positiveness?
11373The Ansonia?...
11373The billiard player?"
11373The judge turned to Mrs. Wilmott:"Did you know that he had ceased to love you?"
11373The man died instantly, did n''t he, doctor?"
11373The man who was murdered?"
11373The marks of his nails are still on your neck?"
11373The names are alike, are n''t they?"
11373The point is, this girl had a dream that-- why, what''s the matter?"
11373The private room?"
11373The sofa hangings were held back when the shot came, then they fell into place and covered the holes?"
11373The stranger saluted politely and said with a slight foreign accent:"How are you, M. Louis?
11373Then a man threw it?"
11373Then abruptly to Gibelin:"Did you see about his boots?"
11373Then he knocked sharply on the woodwork:"Alice, what are you doing?"
11373Then he leaned over Groener''s shoulder and asked kindly:"Do you feel your heart beating fast, my friend?"
11373Then he turned sharply:"Say, how much did you pay that driver?"
11373Then if any stranger went into Number Six during that fifteen minutes he must have come from the banquet room?"
11373Then some one on the break said:"We had better move along, had n''t we, Raoul?"
11373Then to Groener:"How do you happen to know that this encounter took place on the Champs Elysées?"
11373Then to Tignol:"How about that telegram?"
11373Then to the waiter:"Did you hear any sound from Number Six?
11373Then why say such a thing?
11373Then with a quick, cruel smile:"I suppose you know_ why_ I want her?"
11373Then yielding to his growing curiosity:"Have you found out much?"
11373Then, looking restlessly over the panorama:"Where is the_ conciergerie?_"Alice started at the word.
11373Then, seeing her distress, he said tenderly:"Is it something you do n''t understand?"
11373Then-- then a cabinet minister?
11373There was_ no_ Robert?"
11373Those holes through the wall?
11373Through the tense silence that followed her recital came the judge''s voice:"And you accuse a certain person of committing this crime?"
11373Through?
11373To throw suspicion on herself?
11373Too complicated?
11373Try some of this cold meat and salad?
11373Understand little friend?"
11373Understand?"
11373Understand?"
11373Understand?"
11373Understand?"
11373Understand?"
11373Want to hear my creed?
11373Want to know what I''ll do?"
11373Was he deceived by this Matthieu disguise?
11373Was it a faint touch of sentiment?
11373Was it because the American loved Alice?
11373Was it possible the fellow was trying to gain time?
11373Was it really the wonderful affair he had made out?
11373Was she ill?
11373Was that enough to make a man alter his whole life and face extraordinary danger?
11373Was that enough?
11373Was that the auger?"
11373Was that true,_ was_ this man in his power?
11373Was the Champs Elysées mentioned, Jules?"
11373Was the man deliberately making some subtle move in the game he was playing?
11373Was the trouble caused by this other woman?"
11373Was this some foolish whim to follow a squirrel or a rabbit?
11373We had reserved this room and what had prevented the person from occupying it?
11373We know that, do n''t we?
11373We''ll show''em, eh, Caesar?"
11373We''ve been sad, eh?"
11373Well, where is it?"
11373Well, why did I murder this person?"
11373Well?"
11373Were n''t they in Number Six?"
11373What about this wig and false beard?"
11373What about_ him?_""He is in prison, he will be tried."
11373What am I, pray, a marquis or a duke?"
11373What are you doing?"
11373What are your terms?"
11373What can I do?"
11373What caused the trouble between you?"
11373What could be the trouble?
11373What could he be driving at?
11373What could he be waiting for?
11373What could he do?
11373What could it mean?
11373What desperate purpose lurked behind his self- confident mask?
11373What did it matter to me?
11373What did this mean?
11373What did you know about love?
11373What did you wear?"
11373What do you mean?"
11373What do you say to this?"
11373What do you think he''ll do?"
11373What do you think?"
11373What game?"
11373What had Lloyd done?
11373What had happened?
11373What has he done?"
11373What have you found?"
11373What have you to say for yourself?"
11373What interest could a great detective have in this girl, Alice, whom she and her husband had taken in as a half- charity boarder?
11373What is he planning?"
11373What is it?''
11373What is she?
11373What is that?"
11373What is that?"
11373What is this?"
11373What is_ your_ name?"
11373What makes you think there is a mystery about me?"
11373What must we look for?
11373What of him-- now?"
11373What of it?"
11373What plan could he have for getting away once his message was delivered?
11373What results?"
11373What results?"
11373What should the commissary do?
11373What should the commissary do?
11373What time is it?"
11373What time was that?"
11373What was his game?
11373What was she saying now?
11373What was there in this crime that made it different from many other crimes on which he had been engaged?
11373What was there that Pussy Wilmott had not done or would not do if the impulse seized her?
11373What would he gain by waiting?
11373What would you naturally do?"
11373What would you reply?
11373What''s the use?
11373What?...
11373What_ is_ it?"
11373What_ was_ the dream?"
11373When a girl slips away from her work at the church and goes to see a man like Paul Coquenil----""Paul Coquenil?"
11373When do you expect this wood carver again?"
11373When do you want me?"
11373When old Max died and you asked me to lend you Caesar I did it, did n''t I?
11373Where did she come from?
11373Where did she get that unconscious air of quiet poise, that trick of the lifted chin?
11373Where had she seen him?
11373Where is it?"
11373Where is the man who cares so much?
11373Where was Alice?
11373Where was the woman?"
11373Where were you about midnight on the night of the 4th of July?"
11373Where?"
11373Where_ is_ that card?
11373Which one of you was responsible for it?"
11373Who else_ could_ have done it, since he had engaged Number Seven?
11373Who gave Gibelin his orders?
11373Who had the authority?
11373Who is she?
11373Who is this man that engaged Number Seven?"
11373Who was Groener?
11373Who was Martinez?
11373Who was she, what was she, this dreaming candle seller?
11373Who was this rider dashing so furiously through the peaceful night?
11373Who was this supercilious man?
11373Who watch your actions from day to day, from hour to hour?
11373Who will do his work?"
11373Who?"
11373Who?"
11373Why did I think a commonplace pickpocket at the Bon Marché was a notorious criminal, wanted by two countries?
11373Why did I think it necessary to- night to be_ on_ the cab this young American took and not_ behind_ it in another cab?"
11373Why did I think we should find the real clew to that Bordeaux counterfeiting gang in a Passy wine shop?
11373Why did n''t you get rid of this billiard player in some simpler way?"
11373Why do you look at me so?"
11373Why do you want my arm in that leather thing?"
11373Why had he killed Martinez?
11373Why had she sent him no word?
11373Why had this woman come for him?
11373Why have I held back the order that was trembling on my lips?
11373Why is it abominable?
11373Why must he ask this inconceivable question and insist on having an answer?
11373Why not?
11373Why should he look at her like that?
11373Why should he take such a risk?
11373Why should you?
11373Why take so much pains for so paltry a result?
11373Why walk deliberately into a trap that he must suspect?
11373Why was he not willing to let their friendship go on as it had been all these months?
11373Why was the man giving him these details about Alice, and how much of them was true?
11373Why?
11373Why?
11373Why?"
11373Why?"
11373Will you come with me, Hauteville?"
11373Will you join me in a glass at the tavern?"
11373Will you know it?
11373Will you please tell me how it happens that this fact_ of vital importance_ has been concealed from the police for over six hours?"
11373Would it break the last resistance of his overwrought nerves or would he still hold out?
11373Would n''t he tell it himself if he wanted it told?"
11373Yet, after all, what would he lose?
11373You admit that, do you not?"
11373You are under suspicion of having committed a crime and----""What crime?"
11373You believe me, do n''t you?"
11373You did know that, did n''t you?"
11373You do n''t mind accepting it?"
11373You do n''t think a dog can follow the scent from a pistol, do you?"
11373You have evidence?"
11373You have heard of the Charity Bazaar fire, Groener?"
11373You knew that?"
11373You knew what you were risking, I suppose?"
11373You know him, do n''t you?"
11373You know that to be true, do n''t you?"
11373You know that, do n''t you, Alice?"
11373You make me look at disgusting, abominable pictures and-- why_ should n''t_ my heart beat?
11373You mean on account of Groener?"
11373You remember what you wrote about Martinez?"
11373You saw Martinez fall?"
11373You saw him come out of the confessional, did n''t you?"
11373You say he''s shot?...
11373You say his nail marks show?"
11373You seem to know a great deal about passion, sir; did you ever hear that it can change into loathing?"
11373You think his motive was to get the woman''s address?"
11373You told Lloyd everything?"
11373You trust me?"
11373You usually keep the right- hand upper drawer locked, do n''t you?"
11373You will, wo n''t you, Lloyd?
11373You wo n''t even let me play old- maid solitaire?"
11373You wo n''t mind if I smoke a cigarette?
11373You''ll listen to anyone who brings you this ring, old friend?
11373You''re going to denounce me, are n''t you?"
11373You''re only a girl, but-- you''ve been thrown into this tragic affair, and-- you''ll be glad to help your lover, wo n''t you?"
11373You''re too intelligent a woman, Madam Page, to allow such a thing, are n''t you?''
11373You''ve always won out in the past, and-- what is this man''s intelligence to yours?"
11373[ Illustration:"''Did you write this?''"]
11373[ Illustration:"''Have one?''
11373[ Illustration:"''We''ll show''em, eh, Caesar?''"]
11373[ Illustration:"''What''s the matter?
11373[ Illustration:"''You mean that Father Anselm helped her to run away?''
11373_ Are_ you afraid?"
11373_ Do, re, mi, fa?_ And more of the sort until madam assured him that she was fully satisfied and would not keep him longer from his duties.
11373_ Have_ you forgotten the details of the Charity Bazaar fire?"
11373_ How_ did it go there?
11373_ Now what were you doing with Martinez in that room?_"For some moments she did not answer but studied him with frightened, puzzled eyes.
11373_ Was it enough?_ Extraordinary danger!
11373_ Why_ did this sense of imminent peril haunt him and fascinate him?
11373he answered in a matter- of- fact tone,"when you spend all your time in a cold, black church full of bones and ghosts?
11373he called, and, taking his friend aside, he asked:"Does that end window on the first floor belong to Number Six or Number Seven?"
11373said Tignol, and then, with sudden gravity:"But if this is true, things are getting serious, eh?"
34934A letter-- to whom?
34934Ah, it strikes you so, does it? 34934 Ai n''t I just eating it, Gerald?"
34934Ai n''t I? 34934 Ai n''t I?
34934Ai n''t I? 34934 Am I coming out of this interview with the notes in sight, or failure?"
34934Am I? 34934 And if I can''t-- if I do n''t do that?"
34934And if I do n''t do that?
34934And is it true, Gerald? 34934 And now,"inquired the sergeant,"what''s the meaning of this little game?
34934And this man, Danvers, he talks well?
34934And what good''s that, I should like to know? 34934 And you----?"
34934Angry?
34934Another, dad?
34934Any letters or telegrams for shore, sir?
34934Are they arrested?
34934Are you all right?
34934Are you sure the man did not come back on the tender?
34934Are you sure?
34934As being a very curious one-- is it?
34934Better leave all things as they are for the police to examine, eh?
34934Bodily-- you do n''t mind walking lame?
34934But how do you mean that he will have to go?
34934But, dad, why should you think he will always be poor?
34934Ca n''t do it yourself?
34934Can we avoid----?
34934Coincidence,he said,"or is it the same?
34934Come, Tessie, have I been? 34934 Could not we put----?"
34934Dead?
34934Dear boy, what of that? 34934 Det, eh?"
34934Did he go in that direction?
34934Did it?
34934Did she not give her reason for this behavior?
34934Did they not tell you of the other?
34934Did you find out, Gerald, whether her husband was really murdered after all?
34934Do n''t seem as if there could be so much money in the world, Tessie, does it? 34934 Do n''t you feel well, sir?"
34934Do n''t you? 34934 Do you dare threaten me?"
34934Do you know that fancy shop-- bazar-- just opposite the entrance to Liverpool Street Station, Sawyer?
34934Do you think I do n''t see through your trickery? 34934 Drop more water?
34934England?
34934Farmer,he said,"you believe all you have just heard?"
34934Fifteen and six in all?
34934Finsbury Circus is deserted at night?
34934First tell me,inquired Gerald,"how you came to arrive in the very nick of time?"
34934For me?
34934For what, dad?
34934Four?
34934George?
34934Gives the murderer a good opportunity of escape, does n''t it?
34934Go on,said the captain;"did you see the man come back on the tender?
34934Good- morning; are you the pain killer?
34934Had n''t, I suppose, fallen asleep on the couch or in the operating chair, had he?
34934Has anything struck you? 34934 Has he been abroad long?"
34934Has he left the note with you?
34934Has rooms some doors off, has n''t he?
34934Have you found the missing notes, then?
34934Have you the cable your husband sent you?
34934Have you?
34934He is not here?
34934He was on the boat, then?
34934Here, Tess, just read this out, will you?
34934Heroism?
34934His name?
34934How about your own payment?
34934How do you mean?
34934How do you shape?
34934How do you-- how do it?
34934How had I better do that? 34934 How is it done-- chloroform?"
34934How much do you think?
34934How would a cup of hot cocoa fit you? 34934 How?"
34934How?
34934I can believe-- rely-- on that?
34934I have been thinking----"Well?
34934I know that; is he here now?
34934I know, lad, I know, lad-- don''t I know it? 34934 I suppose it is no use asking you for a plain answer to a plain question?"
34934I thought at one time, Tessie----"Yes?
34934I will-- you''ll want me?
34934I''m sure----"It''s right, farmer, is n''t it? 34934 If not to arrest me, what is your business, then?"
34934Ill, is he?
34934In two portmanteaus?
34934Is Mr. Lennox in?
34934Is it dangerous at all?
34934Is it too late to have a tooth seen to?
34934Is it true, Gerald-- all of it? 34934 Is that a compliment for my sex, or is it marked''personal''?"
34934Is that like him?
34934Is that so? 34934 Is the boss in?"
34934Is there a man here in N''York with as much humble pie in his mouth as I''ve got? 34934 Is there time to go ashore?"
34934Is-- it possible?
34934Killed her husband?
34934May I take these letters? 34934 My American friend described to me the chair he sat in-- operating chair, do n''t they call it?"
34934My-- friend?
34934No-- help-- for-- it?
34934Oh, who was that?
34934On a boat? 34934 On time, I reckon, ai n''t I?"
34934Really?
34934Richard Loide, lawyer, of Liverpool Street, London?
34934Said-- that-- to-- you?
34934Shall I try and borrow a ladder, sergeant?
34934Shall we send for the police?
34934Sleeping pretty comfortably?
34934So,said Gerald quietly, although in his excitement his blood was racing through his veins,"and possibly this may be the portrait of the other one?"
34934So?
34934Some which, sir?
34934Supposing I answer one?
34934Supposing I can not?
34934Supposing he has, Tessie, what is his future? 34934 Sure it do n''t hurt?"
34934Sure it was the occupant of this berth?
34934Tell me, he has not spoken to you of love yet?
34934Tell me,she said,"is he aboard?"
34934Tessie?
34934Thanks-- want the light?
34934That''s all very well for you, doctor; but what would they say to me as captain of the ship? 34934 The old-- why on earth all that distance away?
34934The plain question I wanted a plain answer to, Tessie, was: Was I a fool last night? 34934 Then at the hotel?"
34934Then you go that way?... 34934 Then, what on earth do you want to go to N''York for?"
34934There is no way, then?
34934This is n''t a trap,he inquired;"they are not waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs?"
34934Thought you-- well, I was a fool for thinking so, was n''t I?
34934Two or three doors from the corner? 34934 Waitin''for some one, missus?"
34934Wants some swallowing, does n''t it? 34934 Was the note he presented one of these numbers?"
34934Well, dad, is n''t he a poor fellow? 34934 Well, that is your name, is it not?"
34934Well, the buggy wo n''t hold four people, will it?
34934Well, you made me sit down and write a note once, did n''t you? 34934 Well,"said Gerald, as he quietly drew the daguerreotype of Josh Todd from his pocket and put it on the agent''s desk,"is that like either of them?"
34934Well,said the lawyer,"I must get back; which way are you going?"
34934Well?
34934Well?
34934Well?
34934Well?
34934What address has he given you here?
34934What are you thinking of, lawyer?
34934What can have happened since the morning? 34934 What did I give last year?"
34934What did he say?
34934What do you intend doing?
34934What do you mean? 34934 What do you mean?"
34934What does it mean? 34934 What for?"
34934What good will that do?
34934What happens after I''m loaded? 34934 What have I said, dad?"
34934What is it you want me to do, then?
34934What is it, sir?
34934What is it?
34934What is it?
34934What is it?
34934What is the name of the person you were expecting to meet?
34934What is the payment to be?
34934What name did he give you?
34934What shall I do, then?
34934What the devil do you mean?
34934What the devil does this mean, sir?
34934What to do with it?
34934What were you-- what were you going to ask me?
34934What would you do?
34934What''s that for?
34934What''s the meaning of it?
34934What''s the meaning of this devil''s trick? 34934 What''s this?
34934What, all four?
34934What, in heaven''s name, do you mean?
34934What, with a shooting iron? 34934 What-- how did it happen?"
34934What? 34934 What?"
34934What?
34934What?
34934Where the devil are you going to borrow such a thing at midnight? 34934 Where''ll I book my passage-- is there a bureau near here?"
34934Where''s Depew?
34934Where''s that gal? 34934 Where-- where, Gerald, can the notes be?"
34934Who occupied the other berth? 34934 Who was it?"
34934Who''s the would- be murderer?
34934Why are you going, then?
34934Why do n''t you fetch him yourself?
34934Why not?
34934Why now?
34934Why should you be in such a hurry, mother?
34934Why the change?
34934Why were you there?
34934Why? 34934 Why?"
34934Why?
34934Why?
34934Will it be long?
34934Will the notes be traced?
34934Will you accept my assurance that I will do all possible to have this matter out, and clear it up satisfactorily?
34934Will you loan this to me?
34934Will you sit down here?
34934Will you wire through to your Oakville branch, telling them to let Mr. Depew know at once that this money has been paid to his account?
34934Will you? 34934 Wo n''t I?
34934Wo n''t it be dangerous?
34934Women,she spoke with assumed carelessness,"have been kind to you, then?"
34934Yes?
34934Yessir; will you come inside? 34934 You are still staying at Armfield''s?"
34934You are sure you would know it?
34934You are the principal?
34934You can?
34934You can?
34934You do n''t mean to tell me that you are going to murder me in cold blood?
34934You haf come back-- alone, eh?
34934You have thought of something?
34934You intended them for the London police? 34934 You mean to torture me?"
34934You mean-- gas?
34934You need dental attention?
34934You say you saw one body on the boat?
34934You think I am mad?
34934You think I have the notes on me?
34934You think the disguise is impossible?
34934You will be going to dinner in half an hour, Sawyer?
34934You will give up the note, I suppose, without any trouble?
34934You will not do anything with the note till you see me again? 34934 You would know him again if you saw him?"
34934You-- don''t-- know-- it?
34934You?
34934Your heart?
34934Your husband who was on the boat? 34934 Your knowledge ends there, Susan?"
34934Your note?
3493440( the next one to Loide''s) vacant?"
34934A conscious smile played round her lips as she inquired:"Who''s the driver?"
34934Accept my assurance that you are as secure as it is possible to make you, will you?
34934Am I wrong, dad, to sympathize with, and say of him''poor fellow''?"
34934And I meant to----""To what?"
34934And I should be scarcely likely to do that, should I, if I had killed your husband?"
34934And he seemed to see that one question standing out in fiery letters on the wall:"What did it mean?"
34934And now you, Mr. Danvers, just throw some light on these fixings, will you?
34934And the dentist?
34934And the lawyer?
34934And then at Oakville who is there to talk to?"
34934And when Josh comes back, what then?
34934And yet-- who knows?
34934Anything fresh?
34934Are you going to leave me here in the dark?"
34934Are you going?"
34934Because your old dad''s a bit of a fool, you do n''t want to rub it in, do you?
34934Besides, what explanation of his attempt to cash the one note could he give?
34934Brown?"
34934But for the fact that Josh is away on a holiday, what could I have done with him?
34934But now, tell us, how did you get down that hole?"
34934But that money, where is it?"
34934But the point is-- are you?
34934But then rivals will say anything, wo n''t they?
34934But there was something I had intended to ask you-- only-- only----""What was it?"
34934But why?
34934But would he?
34934But''mother''wo n''t find that boy, will it?
34934But-- but the body?"
34934CHAPTER II WHAT WAS FOUND ON THE BODY"Could n''t we put the body in a cab and send it home?"
34934CHAPTER XIII LOVERS-- MORE OF THE OLD STORY"Tessie, why are you angry with me?"
34934CHAPTER XVIII A WIFE FOR REWARD"That time you asked for a day''s holiday,"said the farmer,"was when you went to meet the boat, I suppose?"
34934Ca n''t the man understand that the money''s to his credit here in Oakville?"
34934Ca n''t you buy what you want?"
34934Can he get here to- night?"
34934Can you color the fringe of hair round?"
34934Can you suggest anything else?"
34934Can you take me in hand now?"
34934Coat ready?
34934Danvers?"
34934Did disguise account for the different appearance of the man who was now crossing the Atlantic with a gaping wound in his throat?
34934Did he call out in any pain?"
34934Did he intend to travel to America?
34934Did my vanity make me think you cared for me?
34934Did she not at that very moment hold in her hands unquestionable proof of his guilt?
34934Do n''t feel sufficient interest in me, I suppose?
34934Do n''t look worth nineteen thousand pounds, does it, farmer?
34934Do n''t you know the wedding march?
34934Do n''t you know you''ve got a bride and bridegroom behind you?
34934Do n''t you think so, farmer?"
34934Do you believe you can trust me?"
34934Do you expect me and Tessie to hang on to that axle?"
34934Do you feel that you love him, Tessie?"
34934Do you mind my sitting down and resting for just a minute or two?
34934Do you remember him?"
34934Do you take me for a hayseed because I''m a farmer?
34934Do you think I believe a word of what you say?
34934Entering the shop, he said:"You know me?"
34934Give information to the police-- would it be safe?
34934Give me the name of the most respectable lawyer near here, will you?"
34934Go to the bank?"
34934Going into the Arctic regions again?"
34934Got it?
34934Greedy, eh?
34934Had all his labor been in vain?
34934Had he then killed the man he had struggled with?
34934Had that man anything to do with her husband?"
34934Has he cashed one with you?"
34934Has she been thinking about the murder on the liner you came over by?
34934Have all the passengers landed?"
34934Have you got a cable back from England?"
34934He called out:"Who''s there?"
34934He had intended giving an explanation of the whole thing, but as he asked himself-- who would believe so wildly improbable-- so incredible-- a story?
34934He inquired:"Are you any relation of his?"
34934He inquired:"What might be the name of the person you''ve come to meet?"
34934He realized Gerald''s story must have been true-- what would have been the sense of trying to pass off that folded piece of newspaper as bank notes?
34934He said:"How do you know that?"
34934He said:"Out of gratitude for saving me bother, is there anything you would like me to do for you?
34934He said:"You saw?
34934He say to me,''Dat vos my very goot frent, Meestair Loide, the lawyer, of London, England, eh?''"
34934He spluttered out:"What does this play acting business mean in office hours?"
34934He turned round hurriedly when he was addressed and inquired:"What''s the matter?"
34934He was convinced now that the lawyer was involved in this crime-- but how far?
34934He went to the head of the stairs, and called out to the landlady, would she lend him a needle and cotton?
34934He wiped away the beads of perspiration from his brow, and inquired:"This gentleman who called was a friend of his?"
34934He withdrew that from his pocketbook, and handing it to the housekeeper, said:"Is that anything like him?"
34934Her husband?
34934Her real name?
34934His brother died with his throat cut, why should he not do the same?
34934How did it happen that he masqueraded before Lawyer Loide as George Depew?
34934How did you come to get down there?"
34934How do the trains run?
34934How had his liberation been effected?
34934How had the robber possibly known that he had these notes in his possession?
34934How long do I stay gassed up?"
34934How long do you propose to keep me here?"
34934How on earth could you see?"
34934How should he make assurance doubly sure?
34934How then was he to account for the holding of them himself?
34934I confessed as much to you once when you had me in your power, did n''t I?
34934I suppose I haf some eendemnity, eh?"
34934If he did convince the lawyer, then what might happen?
34934If he left here, he might get a job as a store clerk; what can he expect to be better?
34934Is he aboard?"
34934Is n''t that the bond?"
34934Is that so?
34934Is this the gratitude you spoke of?"
34934It''s warm in here; do you mind me taking off my coat, mister?"
34934Just put some coals on the dining- room fire, will you?"
34934Marry?
34934May I offer my services as your clerk?
34934Mr. Depew, will you sign it?"
34934Now, how do you feel?
34934Now, you are going along all right, are n''t you?"
34934Or should she steal off in the gradually growing darker night, and escape home?
34934Presently the dentist inquired:"What is to be done?"
34934See?
34934See?
34934See?"
34934Shall I make an appointment for you to- morrow, sir?"
34934She can kiss her future son- in- law in safety, ca n''t she?
34934She said:"Other man?"
34934Should he follow?
34934Should he go straight to the lawyer?
34934Should he-- Loide-- allow him to do so?
34934Should she go to that cabin with the light, brave it out there, and carry the lie on further?
34934So you ca n''t sleep, eh?
34934Suppose he had been deceived?
34934Suppose he had not handed the money over to the real George Depew?
34934Tessie, Tessie, do you love me?"
34934That little game you and your brother played with Mr. George Depew when he came to have a tooth out?"
34934The dentist controlled his emotion, checked an exhibition of it by gripping the arms of his chair, and inquired:"What did he say?"
34934The lawyer knelt on the edge of the hole, and, throwing the rays of his lantern down, inquired:"All right?
34934The plain clothes officer was on his feet in a moment inquiring:"Where is she?"
34934The police were on his track without doubt, or why the call at the money changer''s?
34934The solution of the mystery?
34934Then Gerald said suddenly:"Where are the nineteen thousand pound notes?"
34934Then he is aboard?"
34934Then he sneeringly remarked:"Been robbed of the money, eh?"
34934There are two rooms empty above these?"
34934There''s no last sort of wish or request you have to make, have you"--byplay again--"before I put a bullet in your brain?"
34934To lie or to tell the truth-- which should he do?
34934True that you have nineteen thousand pounds about you now?"
34934Vat can I do for you?"
34934Want to write to your friends or anything?"
34934Was I ass enough to misunderstand you?
34934Was he aboard, do you know?"
34934Was he too late?
34934Was he too late?
34934Was it possible that there was such a thing as gratitude in that tough old legal breast?
34934Was it wise in going to the New York police at all?
34934Was the nineteen thousand pounds ever handed Josh Todd?"
34934Was there anything in that?
34934Well enough to see the body?
34934What a fool he had been to set foot in America-- how could he set foot out of it?
34934What are you giving us?"
34934What are you looking so skeered about, then?
34934What can it matter whether it is found in these rooms or the open air?
34934What could he wish for more?
34934What could it mean?
34934What could it mean?
34934What could that mean?
34934What did I say?"
34934What did it mean?
34934What did it mean?
34934What do you say?"
34934What do you say?"
34934What do you think I''m made of?"
34934What does she mean?
34934What does this mean?"
34934What have I done?"
34934What if a real George Depew appeared on the scene and demanded that which was his?
34934What if he promised to give him a share of the spoil in untraceable gold?
34934What is it, Susan?"
34934What is it?
34934What is she doing there?"
34934What is your husband''s name?"
34934What more can he know?"
34934What name shall I say, sir?"
34934What nonsense are you talking?
34934What on earth do you mean?"
34934What should he do?
34934What should he do?
34934What should he do?
34934What should-- what could he do?
34934What sort of a man is he?"
34934What then did the other, the cut up body mean?
34934What was it?"
34934What''s the mare stopped for?
34934What''s the time by your kitchen clock?
34934What''s this?"
34934What''s your face gone all the color of paste for?"
34934What''s your object?
34934What?
34934When he had finished, Gerald said:"Just write me a letter to the Bank of England, withdrawing that stop on the notes, will you?"
34934Where did Depew go; do you know that?"
34934Where have you been?
34934Where have you passed the night?"
34934Where is he?
34934Where was the need for it?
34934Who could that have been?
34934Who received the mails?
34934Who''s dead?"
34934Why had he not?
34934Why had he not?
34934Why not?
34934Why should he be afraid of every shadow?
34934Why should not Mr. Depew have done a similar thing?
34934Why then wake up the American police by giving them identification clues to Josh, and so possibly foul a trail in England?
34934Why?
34934Will you come on to the station?
34934Will you meet her in the old water mill at four o''clock?"
34934Will you take a seat a moment?"
34934Wo n''t be ready, wo n''t I?"
34934Wolff?"
34934Would he be able to answer them-- without danger?
34934Would he ever forget that drink?
34934Would it be any use trying to bribe the man in the cellar?
34934Would not unpleasant inquiries be made?
34934Would the bird come to his call?
34934Would the gentleman like to see it?
34934Yes, the landlady was in, said the girl; would he step inside and wait a minute?
34934Yet stay, what was that upon which he was sitting?
34934You are Mr. Charles Lennox?"
34934You are n''t hurt, are you?"
34934You are-- aren''t you?"
34934You can understand what I am saying?"
34934You do n''t mind my shutting this flap, do you?
34934You do n''t mind my turning the key in the door, so we sha n''t be disturbed, do you?
34934You had an aunt named Depew living in England?"
34934You know-- you do-- now, do n''t you-- that I love you?"
34934You like Danvers?"
34934You see it?
34934You think he was on the steamer?"
34934You''d like to?
34934You''ll come back?"
34934You''re not going to play heavy on a man old enough to be your father?"
34934You-- you are a policeman?"
34934inquired the captain;"do n''t you think it suicide?"
34934is he any the less a gentleman for that?"
34934replied the agent, somewhat wearily;"and what particular line is yours-- newspaper?
34934went ashore at Queenstown-- don''t know whether he came back on tender?
34934what''s that?"
34934what''s wrong?
34934why had he not thought of that?
35304Ah, then you could see, of course, for some distance up and down the lake shore?
35304All alone, yes, sir; and I took Nellie with me and went out into the hall----"You mean downstairs?
35304All-- concerning Miss Grant, too?
35304An American millionaire, eh?
35304And Charles Brierly? 35304 And at that point did you see anything, any one in the wood, or along the lake?"
35304And at what hour was this?
35304And can you guess why?
35304And did you see me this morning?
35304And do you miss anything here?
35304And he is your choice of the three?
35304And he never alluded in any way to his family history, you say? 35304 And he was tall, you say, and broad- shouldered?"
35304And her proofs?
35304And how does this affect your position?
35304And in what way can I serve you, Miss Glidden?
35304And in whose past?
35304And she will receive me?
35304And that the centre of the mound corresponds to the central or nearest point of the curve?
35304And that?
35304And the family, here in England, is quite extinct, then?
35304And the question?
35304And there have been no claimants?
35304And this requires-- it will incur great expense?
35304And was your search rewarded by definite news?
35304And what do you think of this? 35304 And what do you understand?"
35304And what is most lacking?
35304And what,asked Brierly, speaking for the first time since the detective began his explanation--"what was his real object?"
35304And where is Miss Glidden now?
35304And whom did you see, Peter, besides the teacher?
35304And why since morning?
35304And why?
35304And yet,repeated the detective,"do you really think that this man was murdered?"
35304And you are satisfied now that no such heirs exist? 35304 And you are then able to furnish proof that there was no other Mrs. Gaston Latham?
35304And you found him?
35304And you have fully enlightened him?
35304And you have seen him since?
35304And you think them mutually interested? 35304 And you think these were still in his possession?"
35304And you will remain in Glenville, eh?
35304And your reason?
35304And, did it not?
35304And, of course,suggested the coroner,"he must have had his pistol upon his person when he came down to breakfast?
35304And, was he alone?
35304And,urged the solicitor,"do you feel safe in venturing this?
35304And-- did you see his face?
35304And-- quite well?
35304And-- your parents?
35304Any new claimants?
35304Any unexpected delays?
35304Are there any flaws?
35304Are we quite alone here, do you suppose?
35304Are you ill, madam?
35304Are you the elder?
35304As which?
35304At the-- lake?
35304Because, when I find that I am dealing with a clever rascal I ask, what would I do in his place? 35304 Boys-- children-- have any of you seen Mr. Brierly this morning?"
35304Brierly, do you believe that James Myers is your friend, in the full meaning of the word?
35304Brierly,asked Ferrars, as they paused in the doorway,"what had your brother with him in the way of valuables, to your knowledge?"
35304But how?
35304But why? 35304 But why?"
35304But, does n''t the lady stop here, Miss? 35304 But,"asked the doctor,"why did he make this search among the books and papers?"
35304By my''personal interest''you mean what, Brierly?
35304By whom?
35304Can that be managed?
35304Can you describe the person at all? 35304 Come with me across the way, I must say good- bye to the ladies; they----""Do they understand?"
35304Did it have any feet?
35304Did n''t you see the notice in the papers? 35304 Did you ever hear of Ruth Glidden?"
35304Did you know Miss Grant?
35304Did you know her?
35304Did you know?
35304Did you observe whether there were oars in the boat?
35304Disappointed-- how?
35304Do you ask this for reasons personal to myself, or because it seems to you to be for the interest of the investigation?
35304Do you connect that letter in any way with my brother''s death?
35304Do you know any one in authority here?
35304Do you know her?
35304Do you know it?
35304Do you mean him?
35304Do you mean mine?
35304Do you mean,broke in the solicitor,"that you do not intend to arrest him, as soon as found?"
35304Do you mean,she asked, breathlessly,"that you may need my help?"
35304Do you mean,went on the enquiry,"that it was there yesterday morning when you made the bed?"
35304Do you mean----?
35304Do you think the boy could be got to show you where he saw this apparition?
35304Doctor, tell me; do you think she will really be ill?
35304Does he know about this-- this newspaper business?
35304Excuse me, sir; this is Mr. Brierly, I believe?
35304Ferrars, do you know what thought has taken possession of my brain until I can not shake it off?
35304Ferrars,he said,"what did Ruth mean?
35304For whom?
35304From among the bushes?
35304Had he heard the pistol fired?
35304Has Doran been here, doctor?
35304Has he come, Johnny?
35304Has she been summoned?
35304Have you any suggestions as regards the inquest, Ferrars?
35304Have you seen Mr. Brierly this morning?
35304Have you seen her? 35304 He will be caught, do n''t you think so?
35304Henry Kingsley was born to wear the purple of romance.... Where will anyone who is ordinary and sane find better comradeship? 35304 How can you know that?"
35304How did it happen? 35304 How did it happen?"
35304How did it happen?
35304How does it happen that this brother is here so-- I was about to say-- opportunely?
35304How far away, Peter?
35304How long ago, Peter?
35304How long shall you remain in England?
35304How-- tell me how?
35304How? 35304 How?"
35304I dare say I will not be needed here longer?
35304I do n''t s''pose you''ve searched the writing- desk yet?
35304I do n''t suppose you file them?
35304I s''pose you hav''n''t heard any noise-- a pistol shot-- nor anythin''like that, have ye, ma''am?
35304I shall see you again?
35304I suppose we may begin with these?
35304I suppose you will wish to explore the wood near the mound?
35304I want to know if the new man, whom Myers took on soon after you came to town, is one of your sleuths? 35304 I wonder if that can be it?"
35304In mercy-- oh, do n''t you understand?
35304In what manner? 35304 Is he dead?"
35304Is he found?
35304Is it not so?
35304Is it possible,she ejaculated,"that you find anything in the boy''s story?"
35304Is she the solitary heir?
35304Is there another letter in that desk torn as this is?
35304Is there another woman in all the world who can say that she has conquered fate, and gained all the good she has worked and wished for?
35304Is there anything urgent outside?
35304It would seem, then, that just opposite the mound the lake makes an inward curve?
35304Les call''er the''cademy?
35304Look,he said after a moment,"do you see that line, close to the back, where the dust is not quite so apparent?
35304Looking for Mr. Grant, Doc.? 35304 Madam, may I ask why you were not more prompt in putting forward your claim to so fine an estate?"
35304May I ask if you have put the same embargo upon Miss Grant?
35304May I ask why you presume that all the stolen jewels are in this man''s possession?
35304May I make a suggestion?
35304Miss Glidden, have you thought or been told that----"That Robert may die? 35304 Miss Grant, is this a riddle?"
35304Mr. Brierly, are you strong enough to bear a second shock? 35304 Mr. Brierly, may I have a few words with you?
35304Mr. Doran, will you take my keys and ride ahead as fast as possible? 35304 Mr. Haynes,"said Mrs. Latham, with a touch of haughtiness,"Why should I need to see this man?
35304Mrs. Jamieson is certainly kind, and why should we not be friends? 35304 Nellie, did you see Mr. Brierly at breakfast?"
35304Not especially so-- only----"Only you fancy yourself_ de trop_? 35304 Now am I right in thinking that anything occurring at this central point would be unseen from the road?"
35304Of course not How could he? 35304 On the other hand, have you ever noted that a man taken unawares, shot from the side, or rear, falls forward?
35304One of them?
35304Possibly you saw me with a paper in my hand soon after?
35304Prepare to go aboard the_ Lucania_ five days from date in the disguise of what do you imagine?
35304Robert Brierly? 35304 Ruth,"he spoke softly,"Do you know what that means?"
35304Sh''ll I ring, Miss Grant?
35304Shall we not look,he asked,"and find out if anything is there?
35304Something in the detective line, for instance? 35304 That is your fixed opinion?"
35304The boat?
35304The foolish boy? 35304 The orphan heiress?
35304The pretty widow? 35304 Then you have been in this place before, of course?"
35304Then you have never crossed the ocean?
35304Then you look upon this man as in truth little more than a cat''s paw?
35304Then, do you know his address?
35304Then, in heaven''s name why must I be disappointed in any way?
35304There have been no claimants, near or remote?
35304There is nothing new from Glenville-- how could there be-- now? 35304 To remain-- in Glenville?"
35304To the extent of my own knowledge?
35304To- day?
35304WHICH?
35304WHICH?
35304Was he, to her knowledge, in the habit of collecting odd things from the newspapers?
35304Was it a sandbag?
35304Was it your brother''s habit to tear his letters open in such a reckless manner?
35304Well, as his teacher, can you not win his confidence until his fear is overcome? 35304 Well, did you ever see or hear of a suicide who had fallen directly forward and face downward, supposing him to have shot himself?"
35304Well, old man, how have you fared during the lull in your business?
35304Well,began the heavier voice again,"why in the name of goodness have n''t you pushed things more?
35304Were you alone in the house, you and your little girl?
35304Were you called to see the little lady who was taken ill here yesterday, after the close of the inquest?
35304What did you do?
35304What is his name?
35304What is it, Miss Grant?
35304What is it?
35304What shall I say?
35304What''s to hinder?
35304Which of you suggested that he had fallen-- tripped?
35304Who are you?
35304Who else did you see down there, Peter?
35304Who is this young American who has seen the invisible? 35304 Who knows what may happen between our going and our home- coming?
35304Who was it?
35304Whom you saw at the pawnshop?
35304Why, Ruth,said the lawyer,"are you going to the city?"
35304Why?
35304Will you tell me what you can?
35304Would the word of Gaston''s only brother be of any worth as a witness to the marriage, the only marriage of his only brother? 35304 You are quite sure of this?"
35304You are sure it was here usually?
35304You are sure the bed has been disturbed?
35304You ca n''t suspect one of the pupils, surely?
35304You do n''t mean that he left it there during the day?
35304You do n''t s''pose that clock c''ud be wrong, do yo'', Miss Grant? 35304 You find the case as it should be, eh?"
35304You have him, then? 35304 You must answer me, Peter; was any one else by the lake?
35304You remember the foolish boy and his fright when questioned?
35304You saw that too?
35304You say all of us?
35304You see those two doors?
35304You think him skilful?
35304You think then that it was perhaps an accident, a mistake?
35304You went, of course?
35304You will let me come, sister?
35304You will need to examine them, of course, if only for form''s sake?
35304You-- why?
35304''S that it?"
35304A brother?
35304A cab driving like mad through those quiet streets?"
35304A lover?
35304A rival, perhaps?
35304Also, when and for how long, if at all, had the brothers been separated since their schooldays?
35304Am I right?"
35304And are you quite fit and ready to talk about what is most important?"
35304And as Brierly silently bowed his assent, he added:"Have you formed an opinion concerning this letter?"
35304And can you follow them?
35304And could you imagine his motive?"
35304And do you know if the-- the witnesses have been notified as yet?"
35304And he has also seen, whom and what?
35304And how came he here to- day?"
35304And how is she concerned in your story?
35304And is that all you observe, Mrs. Fry?
35304And large and muscular enough he is, to have been your assailant, and----""And my brother''s murderer?"
35304And now, it is agreed, is it not?
35304And now, what more can I say?
35304And now----"There was a little pause and a sobbing catch of the breath--"Have I not the right, Mr. Ferrars, to put out my hand and help in this work?
35304And of course you have the proofs of death?"
35304And that is why we have seen so little of you?"
35304And the lady, the one who drove the pony; you will call her, I suppose?"
35304And what do you think of the tramp they have traced to the vicinity of that boat on the morning of the murder?
35304And when the doctor nodded he asked quickly,"How is she?"
35304And where were they stopping?
35304And who can wonder?"
35304And why should you and I be foolish hypocrites, deceiving no one?
35304And why was that brown- tressed head with its hidden face bowed down in that other room, in an agony of sorrow?
35304And will you do me one individual favour?
35304And you can not guess his motive?"
35304And, may I not still find a cousin there?
35304And----""And at Glenville?"
35304Any new witnesses or discoveries of any sort?"
35304Any news or messages?"
35304Are n''t you next- of- kin?"
35304Are the children with her here?"
35304Are you badly hurt?"
35304As they came opposite this mound, the man Hopkins stopped, saying:"Had n''t a couple of us fellers better go round the mound on t''other side?
35304Better, Bessie?"
35304Brierly?"
35304Brierly?"
35304Brierly?"
35304Brierly?"
35304Brierly?"
35304Brother mine, what if that flood tide which comes, they say, to each, once in life, was on its way to you and to me?
35304But after a moment''s reflection she turned again to Johnny Robbins, saying:"Johnny, will you go back as far as Mr. Doran''s house?
35304But do you think I will let you do this?
35304But first, when is she to call again?"
35304But why must it separate us utterly?
35304By the way, that door on the north side, in the inner room; where does it lead one?"
35304Could you get him here before the inquiry?
35304Did he mention getting it?"
35304Did some one frighten you?"
35304Did you know him?"
35304Did you never guess that he was a detective?"
35304Did you not observe me looking over the papers in the rack?"
35304Do you chance to know any of these gentry?"
35304Do you comprehend me?"
35304Do you comprehend?"
35304Do you know her well, sir?"
35304Do you know of him?"
35304Do you know this man Brierly to be living at present?"
35304Do you mean to see your brother starve?"
35304Do you remember telling me of an''assault''upon your brother, made by footpads, not long before he came to Glenville?"
35304Do you see?
35304Do you still wish me to give her the little suit?"
35304Do you take the_ Lake County Herald_?"
35304Do you think I have not informed myself concerning you and your work?
35304Do you think the clue, the case, is lost then?"
35304Does your friend, Mr. Myers, know of it?"
35304Doran?"
35304Excuse me, it''s not polite to repeat, Brierly, but what do you mean?"
35304Ferrars, do you know that for weeks, ever since my return from Glenville, in fact, I have been under constant surveillance?"
35304Ferrars?"
35304For a few moments no word was spoken; then, without turning her eyes from the road, she asked:"What is it?"
35304Frank, you do n''t mind my calling you that, eh?
35304Fry?"
35304Fry?"
35304Had they any relatives in England or Scotland, say?
35304Handsome or not?"
35304Has any one a cot?
35304Have you any motive, beyond the natural desire to understand the case, in coming to me?"
35304Have you ever thought that he might have had a reason for so doing?"
35304Have you seen a tall young man along this road anywhere?"
35304Have you, either of you, a thought, a suspicion, as to his identity?"
35304He was alone in the house, eh?"
35304He wished me to tell you that the teacher, Mr.----""Brierly?"
35304His dress, his bearing?"
35304How disappointed?"
35304How long do you mean to dally?"
35304How long must it have taken her, Doc, to go and come, in haste?"
35304How long, may I ask, since you left America?"
35304How many are there, then?"
35304How much longer can we live decently unless you claim this estate soon?
35304How shall I proceed?
35304How?
35304I could not fail to see that you were interested in Mrs. Jamieson, and why not?"
35304I have told you of the person seen by our spies at the Glenville House, for a brief time?"
35304I see what is in your mind; you looked to see the conclusion of the game here and soon, eh?"
35304I shall be pleased to hear how this sad case progresses, Mr. Grant, and by the bye, has anything new occurred since the inquest?
35304I trust Mrs. J---- may not leave this place until I see you all again, but should she do so, will you inform me of her intention at once?
35304I wonder what that may mean?"
35304If you miss anything, or if anything in your opinion, has been tampered with?
35304Is he your only brother?"
35304Is it at an hotel?"
35304Is it the young schoolmaster?"
35304Is not Elias Lord my banker, and Mrs. Bathurst_ persona grata_ in my aunt''s home?
35304Is she not coming back to her school?"
35304Is she old, or young?
35304Is that his name?
35304Is that so?"
35304Is that your meaning?"
35304Is the trail strong enough?"
35304Is there a lady guest maybe, or a boarder belike?"
35304Is there anything-- any message I can deliver?
35304Just call him, wo n''t you?
35304Just caution the others, will you?"
35304Latham?"
35304Let me see?"
35304May I come inside for a little?"
35304May he not shun those places?"
35304May we count upon you?"
35304Mr. Ferrars, as a true friend of Robert Brierly, I ask you to tell me what that barrier is?
35304Must I say plainly, then, that you are making yourself quite too interesting to this lady?"
35304Myers?"
35304Nor you, either, for that matter, What do you make of this?"
35304Not suicide?"
35304Now, what did you especially want to say to- night?"
35304Now, where did your brother usually keep these keepsakes and bits of foreign jewellery?"
35304Or did you?"
35304Or must I stand again outside the barrier alone?"
35304Or perhaps to the Brierlys?
35304Or, first let me ask if they have found any trace of the cr-- the person?"
35304Ought not those pupils to be sent home?"
35304Peter, what is it?
35304Quick, Ruth, dear, will you marry me?
35304Shall we let the subject rest here?
35304Shall you be at liberty this afternoon?"
35304Shall you''choose another''then?"
35304So it ran, and having read it, Ferrars asked:"Is your boy safe, Mr. Haynes?
35304Still, may it not be possible that you have been misled?
35304Tell me, how does she look?"
35304That Gaston Latham married only one wife?"
35304That, in short, I have been true to your interest at all times?"
35304The bed, the lamp, the desk, table, rack, and basket?"
35304The family, so far as he knew, had been Virginians for three generations, and what more, pray, could an American ask?
35304The lady was silent a moment, then--"Was he a fair young man?"
35304Then I am in it?"
35304Then, still holding the glass, she said slowly:"Then you know me?"
35304Then--"Did you measure the distance between the target and the spot where the body was found?"
35304Think, was there no mention of family facts or names?"
35304To say what I came here to say?
35304Want to go on to the Savoy?"
35304Want to peruse the sheet?"
35304Was ever a trail so completely hidden?
35304Was it from sentiment, or sympathy, think you?"
35304Was it true that she was an heiress?
35304Was she willing?"
35304Was that the case?"
35304Well, then, you advertised, according to your report?"
35304Well?"
35304Were there any old family papers in the possession of either?"
35304What I wish to know is, do you want this fact known now-- at once?"
35304What could the law have added to their punishment?"
35304What do we care for dame Grundy?
35304What does it matter?
35304What else could his words mean?
35304What had brought him to London just now?
35304What is it?"
35304What is it?"
35304What is the first thing you would do?"
35304What manner of man did you find him?"
35304What more can I do?"
35304What must I do?"
35304What was Ruth Glidden to the Grants?
35304What''s his specialty besides being quarrelsome?"
35304What, indeed, save herself?
35304When did you observe this first?"
35304Where can I leave you?"
35304Where is he?
35304Where shall we begin?"
35304Where were the pupils?
35304Where, then, can be the motive?"
35304Who ever saw Frank Ferrars produce a letter or card, for reference, in the streets of a crowded city?
35304Who is that terrible woman?
35304Whom else did you see?"
35304Why am I watched, thwarted, cajoled?
35304Why do n''t you ask her and have it out?
35304Why do you and Myers fear to let me out of your sight?
35304Why do you fear?
35304Why on earth ai n''t they had one o''them fellers down here long before this?
35304Why, what has happened?"
35304Why?"
35304Will I ever outlive the hurt of it?"
35304Will a shock, such a shock, render his chances more critical?
35304Will it be a very great fortune, Ruthie?"
35304Will it be too hard?"
35304Will it suit you to meet him at once?"
35304Will that do?"
35304Will you ask her if I may?"
35304Will you be seated, madam, and wait?"
35304Will you help us to understand one another?"
35304Will you keep me informed of the slightest detail that in any way concerns our case?
35304Will you let me add that any service I can render as physician, as man, or as friend, is yours for the asking?"
35304Will you let me arrange for you?"
35304Will you look, Mr. Ferrars?
35304Will you put yourself in my place, and tell me how you would act in this horrible emergency?
35304Will you take a message to the school- house-- to Miss Grant?"
35304Will you tell me her name?
35304Will you walk a few steps with me?
35304You can arrange for us to hear the interview, I dare say?"
35304You can trust me, surely?"
35304You do n''t fancy he could be persuaded to wait for meat and drink now, do you?"
35304You do n''t want to know what I think, however, but what can be done?
35304You have not seen or spoken with any one as yet, I think you said?"
35304You have the strength; can you have the patience as well?
35304You know the lad, of course?"
35304You know, do you not, the theory, that of these men, as to the cause of this calamity?"
35304You say it is not far?"
35304You will take me as a silent partner?"
35304Your name, please?
35304am I so stupid or cowardly a man not to be able to cope with an enemy whom I know to be in ambush at my very heels?"
35304and looking into the waste basket?"
35304and the brother, might have wanted to make sure, by a sort of private and more thorough investigation of the wound, eh?"
35304and trusty?"
35304and what was he doing?"
35304his eyes suddenly widening,"Dy''u s''pose he''s got hurt, anyway?"
35304how will those eyes look then, I wonder?"
35304in entreaty?--which?
35304in malediction?
35304in triumph?
35304is very good in its way; only, is she a''wid.''?"
35304of Mrs. Brierly''s family and ancestors?
35304she asked herself futilely, and why were they together?
35304the teacher?
35304to accompany me when that was practicable, and to prevent my going when it was not?
35304when I had no conception of it?"
37929A gold mine?
37929A leak?
37929A vacation trip? 37929 About all the wonderful adventures you had?"
37929All right? 37929 Ammonia?"
37929And I wonder where I''ll be when I get out?
37929And do you remember when we fastened the ladder on the donkey''s back, the night we were going to rescue Frank''s father,suggested Fenn?
37929And has one of them a-- a sort of mean looking face?
37929And-- and could you take any other boiler tube cleaners, or-- or any other help?
37929Are any of the other fellows coming over?
37929Are n''t we going to help them?
37929Are n''t you going to fish any more?
37929Are they coming?
37929Are they going to try to catch him?
37929Are they good to eat?
37929Are we all going?
37929Are you afraid?
37929Are you ill? 37929 Are you sure you jumped out of a hole, Stumpy?"
37929Are you-- are you going to make me a prisoner?
37929Bayville? 37929 Bear cub?"
37929Besides, what''s there to be afraid of?
37929But how are we going to get''em up?
37929But how do you figure on getting there now?
37929But how in the world did you ever get into the lake?
37929But might not Fenn be off in the woods somewhere, and the Chinese have paid a visit here while he was away?
37929But suppose another spell of fever should suddenly develop, and he was all alone? 37929 But what about our camp stuff?"
37929But what did we run for?
37929But what was the auto for?
37929But what were those men taking out of the cave?
37929But what''s it doing up in the tree?
37929But where are the people?
37929But where do the Chinamen come from?
37929But why do they bring them over?
37929Ca n''t I go out?
37929Can I do anything to help you? 37929 Can we do anything?"
37929Can we go ashore and watch it?
37929Can we take the boat and go ashore, captain?
37929Can you boys stand a little jarring?
37929Cough medicine?
37929Could I?
37929Could n''t that brass button come from some other garment than one worn by a Chinaman?
37929Did I say anything? 37929 Did he fall down?"
37929Did we lose''em?
37929Did you say the same company that owned this steamer owned that grain?
37929Did you wish to see me?
37929Die? 37929 Do I?
37929Do n''t you feel well?
37929Do n''t you know any better than to call out like that when you''re hunting?
37929Do smugglers cross the lake?
37929Do you mean it?
37929Do you really think the smugglers have him?
37929Do you suppose he knows where the entrance is?
37929Do you think he jumped that distance?
37929Do you think we ought to get a physician?
37929Do you want to be killed?
37929Do you?
37929Does he mean we''re to work our passage?
37929Door mats-- on a ship?
37929Easy? 37929 Electricity?"
37929Going to take a post- graduate course?
37929Had enough, eh?
37929Had n''t we better wait for the other boys?
37929Has the kid woke up?
37929Has there been an accident, Fenn?
37929Have n''t saved any more sinking automobiles, lately, have you?
37929Have n''t we any medicine?
37929Have you got anything for a fever?
37929How are we going to do it?
37929How could we make it?
37929How did it happen?
37929How did you get there?
37929How do you feel?
37929How do you know I am his enemy?
37929How do you know how an infernal machine sounds?
37929How do you know?
37929How he ran away in the woods?
37929How in the world are we going to get up there without a ladder?
37929How in the world did he ever get over that space without touching the ground?
37929How is he?
37929How is our friend, the enemy?
37929How many of us?
37929How was that?
37929How; a ladder?
37929How? 37929 How?"
37929How?
37929How?
37929How?
37929However, I think the crew will be glad to get it?
37929Hurt yourself?
37929I ca n''t see them?
37929I do n''t, eh?
37929I do, eh?
37929I mean where could we get a boat?
37929I mean, do you really want us on this trip, Captain Wiggs?
37929I suppose you are all ready to enter port?
37929I wonder if there are any more men up on that cliff?
37929I wonder if there''s another collision coming?
37929I wonder if there''s room for me to get out?
37929I wonder if they could possibly be alive?
37929I wonder if they''ll answer a hail?
37929I wonder if we really saw him, or whether it was a sort of day dream?
37929I wonder if we''ll ever solve that mystery?
37929I wonder what became of the two Chinese and the white chap? 37929 I wonder what caught the auto?"
37929I wonder what they can be up to?
37929I wonder what they''ll do when they catch up to us?
37929I wonder what they''re up to now?
37929I wonder what''s at the end of all this?
37929I wonder who he was?
37929I-- I was just thinking of--"Is there anything worrying you?
37929Is he dangerously hurt?
37929Is he ill-- didn''t he come with you?
37929Is n''t this a regular Chinese puzzle?
37929Is that it?
37929Is there any danger?
37929Is there any way of telling who owned it?
37929Is this it?
37929Is this it?
37929It''s no more than right, is it? 37929 Jarring?
37929Leaving Mr. Hayward out of it, what do you intend to do, after we''ve got our camp established?
37929Looking for a berth?
37929Lost?
37929May I go with you, daddy?
37929Me? 37929 Minerals?"
37929More of''em, eh?
37929Nearly run you down, did n''t I? 37929 No?
37929Oh, Fenn, are you sure you''re all right?
37929Oh, I was a little hoarse this morning--"What are you now; a mule?
37929Oh, are we going through the''Soo''canal?
37929Say, do you remember when they thought we blew up the school with dynamite?
37929Say, is n''t he the limit, with his different kind of medicines?
37929See anything?
37929Shark? 37929 She did?
37929Sick?
37929That''s the time I had you guessing; did n''t I?
37929The same one? 37929 Then how do you account for the fact that all the garments are old?
37929Then the next question is; what are we going to do about it?
37929Then what boat are they expecting?
37929Then who are they?
37929Two men?
37929Was I sick?
37929Was I speaking?
37929We have to go through a lock, do n''t we?
37929Well, boys, how about it?
37929Well, how''d you get here?
37929Well, were you playing nurse?
37929Well, what?
37929Were n''t you trying to hear what I was saying-- the night of the fire-- aren''t you in the employ of Robert Hayward?
37929What about?
37929What are you going to do, captain?
37929What are you going to do?
37929What are you thinking of, Stumpy?
37929What cave? 37929 What day is it?"
37929What did I say just now?
37929What did I tell you?
37929What did he mean?
37929What do you make out of that?
37929What do you suppose that''s for?
37929What does he mean?
37929What for?
37929What has happened? 37929 What is it?"
37929What is it?
37929What is it?
37929What is?
37929What men?
37929What shall we do?
37929What will they do now?
37929What will they do with the clothes?
37929What ye goin''to do?
37929What you boys up to now? 37929 What''s in that next room?"
37929What''s it all about? 37929 What''s that sound?"
37929What''s that, John?
37929What''s that? 37929 What''s that?"
37929What''s that?
37929What''s that?
37929What''s that?
37929What''s the matter with you?
37929What''s the matter, boys?
37929What''s the matter? 37929 What''s the matter?
37929What''s the matter? 37929 What''s the matter?
37929What''s the matter?
37929What''s the matter?
37929What''s the matter?
37929What''s the trouble?
37929What''s the trouble?
37929What''s to be done about it?
37929What''s worrying you, daddy?
37929What? 37929 What?"
37929What?
37929What?
37929When are the other fellows coming over?
37929When do we get to Duluth?
37929When?
37929Where are we going to begin?
37929Where are we?
37929Where are you going, father?
37929Where is Fenn?
37929Where is he?
37929Where will we land?
37929Where''s the light?
37929Where?
37929Where?
37929Which way, Frank? 37929 Who are they, Doctor?"
37929Who is he?
37929Who says so?
37929Who were those chaps, Fenn?
37929Who would have thought it was so strong?
37929Who would n''t? 37929 Who?
37929Who?
37929Whose place is it?
37929Why are you so interested?
37929Why ca n''t we scare up a covey of partridges?
37929Why did n''t it fall?
37929Why did n''t you tell the police, father?
37929Why did n''t you use the hand gear?
37929Why do n''t they use the stand pipes in the elevator?
37929Why do n''t you boys do some fishing?
37929Why do n''t you sit up?
37929Why do they call it the''Soo''canal?
37929Why not?
37929Why not?
37929Why not?
37929Why were n''t you at school to- day, Stumpy?
37929Why you can pass the quarantine regulations, I suppose? 37929 Why?
37929Why?
37929Why?
37929Will he die, daddy?
37929Will-- will he die soon of it?
37929Would it-- would it cost much?
37929You have n''t done anything wrong; have you?
37929And the last trace you have of him is down that hole?"
37929Are they badly hurt?"
37929Are you hurt?
37929Besides, how could the smugglers get one aboard?
37929Besides, why did you chase after me, and try to catch us on the_ Modoc_?"
37929But how is it that the sun shines down the shaft?
37929But what are you doing here; on the lookout for some more of the Chinks?"
37929But what were these men digging?"
37929But why did n''t you do as Ned did, walk in?
37929CHAPTER VIII FENN HEARS SOMETHING"What''s the matter?
37929CHAPTER XIX FENN BECOMES ILL"Well, now, what''s our program?"
37929CHAPTER XVIII AN EXPLORING PARTY"Well, what do you think of that?"
37929Ca n''t Captain Wiggs stop the ship?"
37929Can I help you?"
37929Can it be my cave?"
37929Did you get bad shocks, boys?"
37929Did you hear him mention Billy Hochswatter''s mud- turtle?"
37929Do n''t you remember what you said?
37929Do you know anything about this locality, captain?"
37929Do you think they are thieves?"
37929Do you want him to get another?
37929Hayward?"
37929Hayward?"
37929How are you, boys?"
37929How do you mean?"
37929I wonder if I better yell to let him know I''m here?
37929I wonder if they''re going much farther?"
37929I wonder if we could n''t stay and see''em land?"
37929I wonder if we had better do anything about the dishes?"
37929I wonder what I''m up against?
37929I wonder what the game is?
37929I wonder whether he fell, or whether those men thrust him down?"
37929In Lake Huron?"
37929Is it about a cave?"
37929Is that where he lives?"
37929Is the cook burning the steak?"
37929Now where does Fenn come in?
37929Say, did he ask you to reach in his pocket for some medicines for him?"
37929Shall I call my mother?"
37929Sick?"
37929That reminds me, where''s my hat?"
37929The men?"
37929This Chinese fellow could n''t carry him; could he?"
37929Was there an accident?
37929Well, I reckon you know where you are now?"
37929What could it mean?
37929What did we shoot all these ducks for?"
37929What do you mean?"
37929What happened?"
37929What has happened?
37929What is the matter?
37929What shall I do?"
37929What''s that?"
37929What''s that?"
37929What''s the trouble?"
37929When can we go?"
37929Where am I?
37929Where am I?
37929Where are the boys?
37929Where is it, Ned?"
37929Where is it?
37929Where is my father?"
37929Where you goin''?"
37929Where you going?"
37929Where''s a rope?"
37929Where?"
37929Where?"
37929Where?"
37929Who are you?"
37929Who can go for them?"
37929Who knows where we can get some pulleys?"
37929Who''s killed?"
37929Who?"
37929Why ca n''t we all go in on this thing?"
37929Why did I do it?
37929Why did n''t we think of it before?
37929Why did n''t you take it for a giraffe or an elephant?"
37929Why have n''t we-- a right to walk in them?"
37929Why is Constable Darby in front of the house, keeping the crowd back?"
37929Why not?
37929Why should n''t he be?"
37929Why was the speaker glad that the westerner had suffered a loss in the elevator fire?
37929Why, Fenn, what''s the matter?"
37929Why?"
37929Why?"
37929Why?"
37929Why?"
37929Would you like the job?"
37929You did n''t hear what started the fire, did you?"
37929You do n''t mean to say the professor floored Frank Roscoe?"
28264''The Red Crawl''? 28264 A Russian?"
28264A little searching party of her own, eh? 28264 A misfortune, my friend?
28264A slave to a Russian? 28264 Ah, do you?"
28264Ai n''t you found out even yet, you silly? 28264 All serene, guv''ner?"
28264An operation to be performed upon my baby boy? 28264 And Lady Wilding is, of course, the beneficiary?"
28264And did n''t?
28264And do they say that?
28264And he did hear of him, then?
28264And no other jewels besides?
28264And so these remarkable diamonds have been stolen after all, have they?
28264And so you are that great man Cleek, are you?
28264And stop until you hear from me?
28264And the horse? 28264 And the letter, monsieur, the damning letter?"
28264And they said that no mystery was too great for you to get at the bottom of it, no riddle too complex for you to find the answer? 28264 And what are you doing in here, anyhow?
28264And what became of the other chap, the lover she wanted to marry and who was out in India at the time all this happened?
28264And when will he begin, Mr. Narkom? 28264 And who is not her brother, after all?"
28264And who might that be?
28264And you think the little fellow is in peril?
28264And you want to find out if he really carried out that threat and did put an end to himself, I suppose? 28264 And you?
28264Another? 28264 Any ideas, old chap?"
28264Anybody a- comin''with him, sir?
28264Anything to do with it? 28264 Awful thing, was n''t it?
28264Awful, is n''t it, doctor? 28264 Bad blood between you, then?"
28264Baron de Carjorac? 28264 Bimbi says maybe he''s going to be my daddy one day-- didn''t you, Bimbi?"
28264But can you? 28264 But from the sewer?"
28264But how, Mr. Cleek? 28264 But how?
28264But how?
28264But to save Mauravania''s queen, monsieur? 28264 But what''s that got to do with drugging the whisky?"
28264But why a feint? 28264 But why should we talk of unpleasant things when the future looks so bright?
28264But you''ll come, wo n''t you?
28264But, man alive, what can that have to do with it?
28264But, my dear Mr. Narkom, would n''t it be better, or, at least, more hospitable if I went over to meet him, in case he does come earlier? 28264 By gums, guv''ner,"Dollops added as he looked down on the whirling waters,"what an egg- beater it would make, would n''t it, sir?
28264By the Lord Harry, do you dare to assert that I-- I sir-- killed the man?
28264Ca n''t you grasp the situation? 28264 Ca n''t you?
28264Ca n''t you?
28264Can I help you? 28264 Captain Hawksley?
28264Catch on to that, Suburbs?
28264Chap with the small dark moustache? 28264 Circumstances?
28264Cleek in France? 28264 Cleek?
28264Cleek?
28264Clients?
28264Clodoche-- and from the sewers?
28264Clodoche? 28264 Collusion?"
28264Colonel Goshen, eh?
28264Competent surgeon, do you think?
28264Coriander? 28264 Cut him with a knife?"
28264Dad? 28264 Did n''t you?
28264Did you do that to- day at the matinee performance, chevalier?
28264Did you?
28264Do n''t you?
28264Do you happen to know where they come from?
28264Do you make anything out of it?
28264Do you mean to tell me that is what kept you at home? 28264 Do you not remember what I said, madame?
28264Do you think I could persuade anybody if a third man perished?
28264Does Marise pay you to sit there like mourners? 28264 Does it lead into a passage or a room?"
28264Does it?
28264Eating him?
28264Even to putting your head in his mouth?
28264Even to the point of putting up a friend of yours for a couple of days?
28264Facts? 28264 Father,"he said,"am I to do the trick to- night?
28264Five? 28264 Five?"
28264From what source? 28264 Furnace?
28264Gave them up? 28264 Going back on you?"
28264Good heaven, man, you-- you do n''t mean----?
28264Happen by any chance that he''s related to Glossop, the big company promoter who floated''Sapavo''and made''Oxine''a household word three years ago?
28264Has anybody else entered or attempted to enter the house?
28264Has he not made it yet?
28264Has he, this precious royal master of yours, this usurper-- has he parted with that thing; the wondrous Rainbow Pearl?
28264Has it ever done so?
28264Has that been lost?
28264He has a rich friend, then?
28264He took the bait, then, Cleek?
28264Helping you? 28264 Henry, will you never be warned; never take these awful lessons to heart?
28264Her what? 28264 Her?
28264Here,tapping her bodice and laughing,"tenderly shielded, mon ami; and why not?
28264Here?
28264His body? 28264 His royal master?
28264Hopes? 28264 How did I suspect it?
28264How did it all start? 28264 How did the Earl of Wynraven''s son come to meet this singularly fascinating lady, and where?"
28264How do you know that?
28264How do you make that out?
28264How killed, Sir Henry? 28264 How should we have known?"
28264Hullo, Smathers, you in this, too?
28264Hungry, sir? 28264 I have seen you often in London; and to find you here, like this?
28264I said the assassin was a fool; I said the blunders made it possible for the case to be concluded to- night, did I not? 28264 I wonder if the chevalier himself would be as safe if he were to make a feint of doing that?"
28264I? 28264 I?
28264In the name of Heaven, man, who and what are you?
28264In what particular way?
28264In what way, Cleek?
28264Indeed? 28264 Is anybody interested in your not putting Black Riot into the field on Derby Day?
28264Is it a panel? 28264 Is it the lion again?
28264Is that a fact?
28264Is that a fact?
28264Is that all, Miss Lorne, or am I right in supposing that there is even worse to come?
28264It did come, then?
28264It is quite the size of a pigeon''s egg, I believe; is it not, count?
28264It will be the story of last night over again, of course? 28264 It''s a compact, then?"
28264Johnston, stop!--turn round!--are you out of your head? 28264 Just have a look at it, will you?
28264Knew, Mr. Cleek? 28264 Know of it?
28264Lady Wilding, will you oblige me by standing here? 28264 Left what?
28264Let me see it? 28264 Little Lord Chepstow?"
28264Look here,he said laconically,"what do you think of this?"
28264Make a feint of it? 28264 Mates, monsieur?
28264Maurice Van Nant? 28264 May I ask who else is in the house besides the servants?"
28264May I ask why?
28264May I ask why?
28264May I ask, Major, why you speak of the lady in the present tense and of the man in the past? 28264 Mind?
28264Miss Morrison,he inquired as Mary returned in company with the superintendent,"Miss Morrison, do you keep pigeons?"
28264Monsieur knows of the gem then?
28264Monsieur, you then are the great, the astonishing Cleek? 28264 Monsieur,"cried out madame,"monsieur, what is the meaning of that?
28264Mr. Narkom, do me a favour, will you? 28264 Mr. Smeer does not approve of the race track, of course?"
28264Murple is the groom who was paralysed, is he not?
28264Must be rather interesting work, this looking into criminal matters on your own initiative, Mr. Headwood-- pardon, Headland, is it? 28264 My dear Cleek, could n''t a parakeet be made to swallow a pearl?"
28264My dear Cleek, did you find anything?
28264My dear Cleek,said Narkom, looking at him with positive bewilderment,"is there anything you do not know?
28264My dear Miss Lorne, what are you saying?
28264My dear Mr. Cleek, how could it have decided it? 28264 My dear chap, you ca n''t really place any credence in that absurd assertion regarding the blue belt?
28264My things packed and ready?
28264Never existed? 28264 Not secured?
28264Nothing worth looking into, superintendent?
28264Now, what are you after, you goat? 28264 Of a what?"
28264Of course, Carboys treated it as the veriest rubbish-- who would n''t? 28264 Oh, Mr. Cleek, have you any idea, any clue?"
28264Oh, Mr. Cleek, you think you can get the stolen paper back? 28264 Oh, Mr. Narkom, what was it-- that noise I heard?"
28264Oh, he did that, did he? 28264 Oh, he had a wife, then?"
28264Oh, how could you know that, Mr. Cleek? 28264 Oh, it''s that kind of case, is it?"
28264Oh, that?
28264Oh, then you do keep them?
28264On your word of honour as a soldier and a gentleman, is that true?
28264Or, at least to have you point out the hiding- place of them?
28264Others? 28264 Parakeets?"
28264Red Hamish? 28264 Related, by any chance, to that''Colonel Goshen''who testified on behalf of the claimant in the great Tackbun case?"
28264Reward? 28264 Ripping day, is n''t it?
28264Rum sort of a thief, was n''t it, to cut off with only half the booty? 28264 Save the what?"
28264Searched the room, have they, in quest of the diamonds? 28264 She did so against her will?"
28264She intends doing that, then? 28264 Sir Henry,"he said, after a moment,"may I ask how long it is since you were in South America?"
28264Sir Horace came down to look at the furnace? 28264 Sir Horace came down?"
28264Slipping off, sir?
28264Smart capture, Bobby, was n''t it?
28264So the lady was of the careful and calculating kind? 28264 Speaking to me, sir?
28264Surely you have heard what Mrs. Brinkworth has said about seeing him in town to- day?
28264Tell me, if it is not an impertinent question, did you take out an insurance policy on Murple''s life and pay the premium on it yourself? 28264 That Patagonian plant, eh?
28264That is your ladyship''s son, is it not?
28264That? 28264 The Baron von Steinheid?"
28264The Cordovas? 28264 The trouble arises from some one or something in his own household?"
28264Then Fifi''s husband is n''t the only man with a grievance and a cause? 28264 Then her husband?"
28264Then in the name of Heaven, Cleek, what has become of the money?
28264Then it is fair,said Cleek,"to suppose, in that case, that you have taken out one on your own life?"
28264Then it is only when they are dressed and made up for the performance, eh? 28264 Then the blunderer shot the child instead of the native?"
28264Then why should you?
28264Then, monsieur, how are we to seize them? 28264 There is a mausoleum being built, is there not?"
28264There was an estate, then?
28264These Cordovas-- what reason have you for suspecting them?
28264To business?
28264To receive the jewel and the letter?
28264Two hundred quid? 28264 Villa de Carjorac?
28264W- w- what crazy nonsense is this, sir? 28264 Was it his hand that gave it up?"
28264We shall find your master in his sitting- room, I suppose, my embryo Vidocq?
28264Well, what next? 28264 Well?"
28264Well?
28264Well?
28264Were you?
28264What a trial he must have been to the glove trade, must n''t he?
28264What could you have said if you had spoken?
28264What do you make of it, Cleek?
28264What do you mean by saying that Sir Horace came down?
28264What do you mean by that?
28264What do you mean by''eating''him, Mr. Bridewell? 28264 What do you mean by''that''s all''?
28264What do you mean? 28264 What has happened?
28264What is the difficulty? 28264 What kept you so long?
28264What monstrous juggle is this? 28264 What shall you mean by that''going back on you'', eh?
28264What the dickens are you talking about, Cleek? 28264 What''s a horse, even the best, beside the loss of an honest life like that?"
28264What''s on the other side of this?
28264What''s that? 28264 What''s that?"
28264What''s that?
28264What''s that?
28264What''s the matter? 28264 What?"
28264What?
28264Whatever in the world brings you here?
28264When you what?
28264When? 28264 Where is it?
28264Where is the fragment we already possess?
28264Which means?
28264Which, of course, he declined to do?
28264Who and what was the man? 28264 Who did it and why?
28264Who in this house could? 28264 Who is responsible for that ridiculous assertion, I wonder?
28264Who the deuce asked you for your opinion?
28264Who told him that it does better in the atmosphere of a stable?
28264Who-- Fordyce? 28264 Who?"
28264Why did n''t you say it was you, sir?
28264Why give it up then, Miss Lorne?
28264Why not go on letting me be your last hope-- your only hope?
28264Why not?
28264Why should n''t I know when I''ve been after him ever since he left Scotland Yard half an hour ago?
28264Why should n''t it? 28264 Why''hopelessly,''Mr. Narkom?
28264Why, then, did he not appeal to the police?
28264Why? 28264 Why?"
28264Why?
28264Will I? 28264 Will the boy do it to- night, then, chevalier?"
28264Wire through to the Low Level station at Crystal Palace, will you? 28264 Working out a problem, old chap?"
28264Wot''s the lay now? 28264 Yes, I do see, chevalier; but I wonder if he would be willing to humour me in something?
28264Yes, but why?
28264Yes, but why?
28264Yes, guv''ner?
28264Yes, is n''t it? 28264 Yes, my friend, but''Margot''?"
28264Yes, old chap?
28264Yes, old chap?
28264Yes, old chap?
28264Yes, old chap?
28264Yes, sir?
28264Yes-- why not?
28264Yes; but, man alive, how did he get out? 28264 Yes; why not?
28264Yes?
28264Yes?
28264Yes?
28264You are certain it is not a fancy, but an absolute fact?
28264You are looking at the tattooing near my shoulder, are you? 28264 You drugged me?"
28264You feel satisfied of that, do you not, my dear fellow?
28264You found out? 28264 You found them?
28264You have brought your motor, of course? 28264 You have n''t brought them with you, I hope, Mr. Narkom?
28264You hear that, Clopin? 28264 You know me, then?
28264You looked into heaven, and-- well, what then? 28264 You say that all connected with the circus have so little fear of the beast that even attendants sometimes do this foolhardy trick?
28264You think it was fired, then?
28264You think they have to do with the hiding of the paper or the pearl,_ cher ami_? 28264 You think, then, that the thing is genuine?"
28264You what?
28264You, Miss Lorne?
28264You, sir, are that great man? 28264 You-- you do n''t mean that she-- that Zuilika-- killed him?"
28264_ Dios!_ what is it? 28264 _ Dix mille pardons_, m''sieur, there is something amiss?"
28264''Ere you are, Miss Lorne-- lay hold of his little lordship, will you?
28264*****"How did I find it out?"
28264*****"How did I guess it?"
28264*****"How did I know that the body was inside the statue?"
28264*****"How was the escape from the compartment managed after the murder was accomplished?"
28264*****"The method of procedure?"
28264--holding up the package he was carrying--"or a chance for me to do some fly catchin''with me bloomin''tickle tootsies?"
28264--the cold bore of a revolver barrel touched her temple and wrung a quaking gasp of terror from her--"Do you feel that?
28264--to the chauffeur--"Lanisterre, do you hear?"
28264A double quick change?
28264A great hurry, eh?
28264A man to get a magic belt; to put it on, and then to melt away?
28264A woman of that class?"
28264After he had risked so much to get them?
28264Ai n''t et summink wot''s disagreed with you, have you, sir?"
28264Ai n''t got such a thing as a biscuit about yer, have you?
28264All ready there, Marguerite?
28264All ready, Mr. Narkom?
28264An absurd belief, to be sure, but who can argue with a superstitious people or hammer wisdom into the minds of babies?
28264And Lady Wilding and Mr. Sharpless, do they, too, disapprove of racing?"
28264And do you see those serpentine tracks through the middle of it?
28264And even if I had I could n''t have bolted it on the inside after I''d left it, could I?
28264And how, pray, should we live if that were to happen?"
28264And in London?
28264And she-- ah, monsieur, why is she always with him?
28264And the noosed rope that was about the neck of the murdered woman; what was that like?
28264And what can that have to do with your impoverished state?"
28264And what does all that gibberish and that word''Ayupee''mean?"
28264And what''s a Brazilian doing in the army of the Kaiser?
28264And when does it happen in their case, during the course of the show, or when there is nobody about but those connected with it?"
28264And who may he be, Mr. Van Nant?"
28264And who so likely to be the guardian of these as the Baron de Carjorac?
28264And why not?
28264And why should he include me?"
28264And yet-- and yet---- Ah, monsieur, how can I fail to feel as I do when this change in the lion came with that man''s coming?
28264And you mean to tell me----""That they employed one of those deadly reptiles in this case?
28264And you will, Mr. Cleek, and you will, wo n''t you?
28264And your Aunt Ruth; what of her?"
28264And, having been in it, what''s he doing dropping into this line; backing a circus, and travelling with it like a Bohemian?"
28264And, oh, I say, guv''ner?"
28264And_ that_ has been lost, that gem so dear to Mauravania''s people, so important to Mauravania''s crown?"
28264Any idea, Cleek?"
28264Any other jewels stolen at the same time?"
28264Anything else?"
28264Are we to fly at once to the mill and join him?
28264Are you here?"
28264Are your sympathies with the unfortunate so keen, monsieur, that even this stray cur may claim them?"
28264As a matter of fact, it was through him that Fordyce got to know the dad and became interested in his case, and---- What''s that?
28264As for his identification of the body-- well, if the widow herself could find points of undisputed resemblance, why not he?
28264At once, at once, do you hear?
28264Avenge his death?
28264Bawdrey?"
28264Better?"
28264Better?"
28264Bonny little specimen of a Britisher, is n''t he?"
28264But about this letter?
28264But enlighten me upon a puzzling point, Sir Henry: What do you use coriander and oil of sassafras for in a stable?"
28264But how?
28264But is there anybody who would have a particular interest in your failure?"
28264But tell me, does she show no anxiety, no fear of a search?"
28264But the question is,_ when_ did he get in and_ how_ did he get out?
28264But then I do not care to get on the back of one, so why?"
28264But what interest could she or any of her tribe have in the death of Lady Chepstow''s little son?
28264But what of it?
28264But what of that?
28264But what to use to overcome the danger of that horrible suction?"
28264But what?
28264But yes, vat shall that mean-- eh?"
28264But, of a sudden:"You came here directly after the matinee, I suppose?"
28264But, pardon me, have you met with an accident, Mr. Bawdrey?
28264By any chance that Sir Henry Wilding whose mare, Black Riot, is the favourite for next Wednesday''s Derby?"
28264By what means?
28264By what means?"
28264Ca n''t you do something?
28264Ca n''t you do this?
28264Ca n''t you see any glimmer of light at all?"
28264Ca n''t you see how nervous, how frightened I am?
28264Ca n''t you suggest something?
28264Call this sort of tomfoolery being protected by the police?
28264Came in to put more of the cursed stuff on the ninth finger of the skeleton, so that it would be ready for the next time, did n''t he, Dollops?"
28264Can you take me there?"
28264Can you, monsieur, can you?"
28264Canoe or ironing- board?"
28264Captain and Mrs. Glossop were giving a reception, and Her Grace of Heatherlands was there?"
28264Case?"
28264Cleek?
28264Cleek?"
28264Cleek?"
28264Cleek?"
28264Cleek?"
28264Cleek?"
28264Cleek?"
28264College man, are n''t you?
28264Come, may we not give ourselves a pleasant evening?
28264Could any man resist the temptation to use it when he was endowed by Nature with the power to do this?"
28264Could any man''go straight''with a fateful gift like that if the laws of Nature said that he should not?"
28264Could n''t manage to take me round behind the scenes, so to speak, if Mr. Narkom will lend us his motor to hurry us there?
28264Could, eh?
28264Dear God in heaven, Mr. Cleek, what are you hinting at?"
28264Dear God, can this be true?"
28264Did Ulchester take kindly to this housing of the mummy of his father- in- law and the eventual coffin of his wife?
28264Did anybody get at that?"
28264Did he come?
28264Did she?"
28264Did the men on guard hear no cry?"
28264Do I puzzle you by that?
28264Do it?
28264Do look at it, will you?
28264Do me a favour, will you?
28264Do n''t mind if I sit in that corner and draw the curtain a little, do you?"
28264Do n''t think it''s smallpox, or something of that sort, do you?"
28264Do n''t you hear them?"
28264Do n''t you hear, you idiot?"
28264Do n''t you see the answers, the acknowledgments, in the''Personal''columns of the papers now and again?
28264Do you grasp it?"
28264Do you know me?
28264Do you know what''s going to happen to you?
28264Do you know who you had in your hands?
28264Do you know who you let go?
28264Do you know?
28264Do you mean that ripping old firebrand?"
28264Do you mean to say----?"
28264Do you mind?"
28264Do you realize to whom you are speaking?
28264Do you see where I sifted it over this spot near the Patagonian plant?
28264Do you think I could get to see it some time without either?"
28264Do you think the riddle you have brought is beyond my powers?"
28264Do you understand?
28264Do you understand?"
28264Do, pray, tell me what it all means, what you make of this amazing case?"
28264Does the lion never''smile''for any of those?"
28264Does your father do so, too?"
28264Dol---- Oh, there you are at last, eh?
28264Dollops?"
28264Doubtless you have heard of that?"
28264Eh?"
28264Feel that you can rely on Logan, do you?"
28264For what?
28264Fordyce, who and what is this infernally impudent puppy?"
28264Friends or relatives?"
28264From whose hand?"
28264Get back to the others, and look for me again in two hours''time; and Scarmelli?"
28264Good heavens, who was Red Hamish?"
28264Got any more amazing things, gems, I mean, like that wonderful scarab?
28264Had you any old friend in your college days whom your father knew only by name and who is now too far off for the imposture to be discovered?"
28264Has he been here?
28264Has he expectations of any kind?"
28264Has he succeeded?
28264Has it anything to do with the case you have in hand?"
28264Has she come out of her retirement yet?"
28264Have Gaston and Serpice arrived yet with the rest of the document, Margot la reine?"
28264Have n''t you ever noticed it before?"
28264Have we by any chance met before-- in society or elsewhere?
28264Have you any idea?
28264Have you caught him?
28264Have you found such things here?"
28264Have you lost your wits?
28264He is closely spied upon, then?"
28264He talks well, he sings well, he is very handsome and-- well, what difference can it make to you?
28264He''d not be expectin''a stable to be scented with eau de cologne, would he?
28264Headland?
28264Heaven forbid it, of course, but if anything should happen to Logan to- night, who would you put on guard over the horse to- morrow?"
28264Heavens above, Marguerite, did n''t you tell him?"
28264Hide the pearl in it?
28264Hopes of what?"
28264How are they managing it, those two?
28264How can you?
28264How could the tossing of that coin have settled the sex of the wearer of those garments?"
28264How did the duchess come to have the Siva stones in her personal possession at that time?
28264How did you get them out of the house?"
28264How does the lady take it?
28264How get them into our possession, his Majesty and I?"
28264How has it come about?
28264How is the poor old dear this morning, darling?
28264How, then, could you guess?"
28264Hungry still, Dollops?"
28264I confess I have n''t the ghost of an idea regarding the case, captain; but if you do n''t mind letting your daughter show me the room----""Mind?
28264I could n''t sell them, could I, marked things that every diamond dealer in the world knows?
28264I had hoped that that might tempt a clever detective to take up the case; but what is such a sum to such a man as you?"
28264I may not care to take the case when I hear it, so what''s the use of letting everybody know who I am?"
28264I said in the beginning that this was either a case of swindling or a case of murder, did I not?
28264I said, did I not, that I wanted to win her, wanted to be worthy of her, wanted to climb up and stand with her in the light?
28264I say, Mr. Narkom, do give me a cup of tea, will you?
28264I say, guv''ner, take off his silver wristlets, will you, sir, and lemme have jist ten minutes with him on my own?
28264I say, sir,"agitatedly,"look wot''s wrote on the envellup, will yer?
28264I should have thought he could have managed that, should n''t you, Mr. Narkom, if he could have managed the business of making him melt into thin air?
28264I should have thought you would have remembered that, Mr. Cleek, when---- But perhaps you have never heard?
28264I suppose that fellow Merode, as he calls himself, is in his room, waiting?"
28264I suppose you know that my uncle, Sir Horace Wyvern, married again last spring?
28264I suppose, Mr. Headland, that Mr. Narkom has told you something about the case?"
28264I want to get into every man''s room here, and wherever I find poison-- well, you understand?"
28264I wonder how much it will surprise you to learn that, at the present moment, I have just one hundred pounds in all the world?"
28264I wonder why?"
28264If a message was sent him by a carrier pigeon, where must that pigeon have come from, since it was one of Miss Morrison''s?"
28264If they are---- Well, I shall either have the Siva stones in my hand before eight o''clock to- night, or----""Yes, old chap?
28264In that safe?"
28264Intends to take no further step toward proving it?"
28264Is he dead?"
28264Is it done?"
28264Is n''t he about?"
28264Is nothing else possible?
28264Is she safe?"
28264Is that agreeable, Mr. Van Nant?"
28264Is that the letter in your hand?
28264Is the boy killed?
28264Is the chevalier well- to- do?
28264Is the old captain''s malady a natural one, in spite of all these suspicions?
28264Is there anything we can do to help?"
28264Is this the door of the picture gallery, Sir Horace?"
28264Is this the way?"
28264Is this the welcome you give the bringer of fortune, Margot?"
28264It may be that he will stumble upon something of importance-- who knows?
28264It was a significant glance, and said as plainly as so many words:"What do you think of it?
28264It was horribly disfigured by contact with the piers and passing vessels, but she and Anita-- and-- and my son----""Your son, Major?
28264Just a natural dislike?
28264Just look at it, will you, old chap?"
28264Know it, do n''t you?
28264Landlady, see that we are not disturbed, will you, and that nobody is admitted but the parties I mentioned?"
28264Let me put it on your shoulder, will you?
28264Let''s have a game of''Slap Hand,''you and I-- what?
28264Look here"--he put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a gold piece--"do you know what that is, Major?"
28264Look here, Captain Travers; what do you think of this fellow''s little game?
28264Look here, Mrs. Bawdrey; look here, Captain Travers; what do you think of a little rat like this?"
28264Look here, do you know who you''re dealing with now?
28264Lost in speculation?
28264Madame, do you like music?
28264Mates?
28264Mauravania''s heir and a Russian?"
28264May I trouble you for a pin?
28264Mr. Cleek, are you here?
28264Mr. Narkom"--he turned to the superintendent--"keep an eye on Dollops for me, will you?
28264Mr. Narkom, is your motor ready?
28264My God, what are they doing it with?
28264My dear Cleek, you do n''t believe that the man has been murdered?"
28264My dear chap, are you sure, are you really_ sure_, that it is n''t a case of suicide after all?"
28264My signal is already hung out; shall we agree to the conditions and give him yours?"
28264Narkom?"
28264Narkom?"
28264Narkom?"
28264Narkom?"
28264Narkom?"
28264Narkom?"
28264Narkom?"
28264Narkom?"
28264Narkom?"
28264Narkom?"
28264Narkom?"
28264No''smile''for your old Tom, is there, Nero, boy, eh?
28264Nobody can go by his looks; so how do you know?"
28264Not so much of a money grabber as that muff Headland wanted you to believe, is he-- eh?
28264Nothing more than that, eh?
28264Now then, what is it?
28264Now what do you make of it?"
28264Now what''s the password that Clodoche must give to Margot to- night at''The Twisted Arm''?
28264Now, if you know, tell me what did the chevalier mean, what did his wife mean, when they spoke of a dream that might have come true but did n''t?
28264Now, if you please, Mr. Sharpless, will you stand beside her ladyship while I take up my place here immediately behind you both?
28264Now, the wig and beard, and after that---- What''s that you say?
28264Now?"
28264Of course I agreed-- who would n''t for a mate at a time like that?
28264Oh, Mr. Cleek, can we?
28264Oh, Mr. Headland, do you think it is anything in the nature of a clue?"
28264Oh, Mr. Narkom, can this be true?"
28264Oh, monsieur, wizard though you are, can you get them past her guards?
28264Oh, who could have the heart?
28264Oil of sassafras?
28264One of''nobbling''?
28264Only''grateful,''I wonder?
28264Or is there really any case at all?
28264Or not this week at all?
28264Or was he willing to stand for anything so long as he got possession of the huge fortune the old man left?"
28264Or what?"
28264Or, if you have not, do you think your fiancà © e has?"
28264Owe me?
28264Oxon or Cantab?"
28264Pardon, but surely I have had the pleasure of meeting monsieur before?
28264Quite settled, both of you?
28264Ready with the motor, chauffeur?
28264Remember me to Colonel Goshen when you go back to your rooms, will you?
28264Ripping of him, was n''t it?"
28264Ripping, was n''t it?
28264Seriously?"
28264Shall I tell the ladies and gentlemen of your promise?
28264Shall we give him the pledge he asks, Sir Horace?
28264She is so satisfied of her husband''s death that she deems no further question necessary?
28264She loves her husband-- that''s certain-- and she''s a good little woman; and, Scarmelli?"
28264She returned then?"
28264Signalling?
28264Sir Henry"--he turned again to the baronet--"do you trust everybody else connected with your establishment as much as you trust Logan?"
28264Sir Horace, why did n''t you think to tell me of this thing before?"
28264So there''s a Hindu in the affair, is there?"
28264So this dear, deluded old gentleman, having failed to secure a''rune''in Java brought back something equally cryptic-- a woman?
28264Somebody trying to get at the mare?"
28264Something that had been brought from outside the house or something that could be picked up within it?"
28264Speak up, speak up, you hear?
28264Stabbed or shot?"
28264Suppose we say to- morrow noon?
28264Suppose you could get your father not to sleep here to- night for a change?"
28264Sure of it, Sir Henry?"
28264Surely she was not insane enough to keep the gems in the house with her?"
28264Surely they have got the wretch at last?"
28264Surely when you see it you will be able to satisfy any misgivings you may have?"
28264Surely, monsieur, I have seen you there?"
28264Surely, you whose knowledge seems unlimited"--noting the blank look on Cleek''s face--"must have heard of those divine gems?"
28264Tackbun Claimant?
28264Tell me how did this Russian get the jewel, and when?"
28264Tell me what it is; if you want your life, tell me what it is?"
28264Tell me-- I''ll respect it-- tell me, for God''s sake, man, who are you?
28264That French lady, or the red- headed party in the gray suit?"
28264That you have been reading about the preparations for the forthcoming coronation of King Ulric of Mauravania?"
28264That''s the idea, is n''t it?"
28264That''s the sculptor fellow you said in the beginning had gone through his money, is n''t it?"
28264That''s what you might call''giving with both hands,''Major, eh?"
28264That''s why you have come to me, eh?
28264The beard is real?
28264The hair is real?
28264The legend runs, does it not?
28264The matter could n''t possibly have ended there, or else why this appeal to me?"
28264The necessary sections to construct a sort of bridge could be packed in either?"
28264The next day?
28264The paper, my friend; you have brought the paper?
28264The question is, which?
28264The son of the man who drove an Englishman''s wife and an Englishman''s children into exile-- poverty-- misery-- despair?"
28264Them beauties?
28264Then Mr. Sharpless has been to South America, has he?"
28264Then he turned to the captain''s daughter, and asked quietly:"Would you mind letting me see the room from which the young man disappeared?
28264Then the thing appeared, I suppose?"
28264Then where could he a- went to-- and how?"
28264Then who connected with the hall has been?"
28264Then, lowering his voice to a shrill whisper,"That you, Mr. Narkom?
28264Then:"Is that true, count?"
28264There''s another, eh?"
28264They are not yours, surely?"
28264They produced a sensation, of course?"
28264They will not come off?
28264This is Tuesday evening, is n''t it?
28264This woman and this one- eyed man appeared last week in Mauravania, you say?"
28264Those must have been trying times, Lady Chepstow, for the commandant''s wife, the mother of the commandant''s only child?"
28264Thought you could lead me by the nose, and push me into finding those phials just where you wanted them found, did n''t you?
28264Thought you had a noodle to deal with, did n''t you, Mr. Philip Bawdrey?
28264Three days, count; three days, monsieur with the puppy dog; three days, and not an instant longer, do you hear?"
28264To do a thing like that?"
28264To whom did he part with this gem, a woman?"
28264To whom?"
28264To- morrow?
28264Two hun---- W-- what are you talking about?
28264Was he living in the same house with his fiancà © e, then?
28264Was n''t it a kinematograph picture, after all?"
28264Was n''t it true?
28264Was the duchess giving an entertainment last night?"
28264Was the lady of his choice a native or merely an inhabitant of the island?"
28264Was the place his home as well as Captain Morrison''s, then?"
28264Was there any mark on the door of the steel stall?"
28264Was there no struggle?
28264Well, Captain, and how are we to- day, eh?
28264Well, Mr. Crime Investigator, found out who did it yet, eh?"
28264Well, go on, please; what followed?"
28264Well, if he dies without one, who will inherit his money, as I am an only child?"
28264Well, whatever other amazing thing have you''unearthed''?
28264What a detective he''d''a''made, would n''t he, if he''d only a- turned his attention that way, and been on the side of the law instead of against it?
28264What about me, old chap?
28264What are you doing, admiring the view or taking stock of Mrs. Culpin''s roses?"
28264What are you doing?"
28264What are you giving me, you josser?"
28264What are you talking about?
28264What are you talking about?"
28264What are you, dear friend?"
28264What are you?
28264What can possibly have caused the good lady to do a thing like that?"
28264What can the ruined Château Larouge possibly have to do with the affairs of the Baron de Carjorac, Miss Lorne, that you connect them like this?"
28264What circumstances?"
28264What could I want with the Siva stones?
28264What could make you think otherwise?"
28264What do you make of that?"
28264What do you think, Henry?
28264What for?"
28264What for?"
28264What furnace?
28264What game, Mr. Bawdrey?
28264What has happened?"
28264What has he done?
28264What has made a woman like this pick up with a fellow of his stamp?
28264What is it that has happened to your countenance?
28264What is it that she is doing?"
28264What is it?
28264What is it?
28264What is it?
28264What is it?"
28264What is the password of the brotherhood to the cause of Germany, stupid?
28264What is this incomprehensible thing of which both you and Baron de Carjorac have spoken, this thing you allude to as''The Red Crawl''?"
28264What lion-- Nero?
28264What next, I wonder?"
28264What next?
28264What next?"
28264What of him?"
28264What on earth are you doing?"
28264What on earth can be his object?
28264What others?
28264What paralysed him, do you think?"
28264What poison, man, what poison?"
28264What steps have you taken, count, to prevent this?"
28264What the dickens did I do with my key?
28264What the dickens did you mean just now when you spoke about''the lion''s change''and''the lion''s smile''?
28264What the dickens is this?
28264What then, Miss Lorne, what then?"
28264What''her''?"
28264What''s driven you to a dog''s life like this?"
28264What''s his little game, I wonder?
28264What''s it all about?"
28264What''s next-- eh?"
28264What''s that, Mr. Van Nant?
28264What''s that?
28264What''s that?
28264What''s that?
28264What''s that?
28264What''s that?
28264What''s that?
28264What''s that?
28264What''s that?
28264What''s the case?
28264What''s un name, sir?"
28264What''s wrong?"
28264What?
28264When Baron de Carjorac recovered his senses after his horrifying experience----""That document was gone?"
28264When and how did it all begin?"
28264When and how shall I expect to see you again?
28264When can you take hold of the case?
28264When did you learn of it?"
28264When, sir-- when?"
28264When?
28264Where and how does that come in?"
28264Where are the jewels?
28264Where are they?
28264Where did he go after that, and what became of the brown leather portmanteau?"
28264Where is he?
28264Where is it?"
28264Where is the boy now?"
28264Where''s the narker-- where-- where?"
28264Where?"
28264Which way did he go?
28264Who are they?
28264Who are you?
28264Who are you?"
28264Who do you mean by that?"
28264Who does not?
28264Who is he?"
28264Who is he?"
28264Who is it as wants him?
28264Who would be likely to connect him with the death of a beast- tamer in a circus, who had perished in what would appear an accident of his calling?
28264Who would not mother a thing that is to bring one four hundred thousand francs?"
28264Who would, after having been promised wealth, education, everything one had confessed that one most desired?
28264Who''s the Tackbun Claimant?
28264Who''s to tell as he are n''t in with they devils as is after Black Riot?
28264Who, then, is in it?
28264Whose life, may I ask?
28264Why a''misfortune,''pray?
28264Why could not fate have spared the Villa de Carjorac?
28264Why did n''t you say so in the beginning?
28264Why do you say that you do n''t like it?"
28264Why does it''smile''for no others?
28264Why does she curry favour of him and his rich friend?"
28264Why have you arrested the Señor Sperati?
28264Why in the world did n''t you tell me in the first place?"
28264Why is it only they, my father, my brother, they alone?"
28264Why not the actual thing?"
28264Why, how could you?"
28264Why, oh, why were we ever driven to that horrible Château Larouge?
28264Why, then, should the assassin have brought the chain back after that operation and laid it upon the body of the victim?
28264Why, then, was he being done to death?--and how?
28264Why?
28264Why?
28264Why?"
28264Why?"
28264Wilder ones have come true for other people; why should they not for you?"
28264Will that do?"
28264Will this way lead me out?
28264Will you do nothing for her?"
28264Will you have the tea?"
28264Will you, Mr. Narkom?
28264Will you, therefore, be at 17 Sunnington Crescent, Wandsworth, this afternoon between the hours of three and four?
28264Will you?"
28264Wo n''t you and Mr. Narkom go up and search without me?
28264Wo n''t you, Miss Lorne?"
28264Wonder if it''s yours, madam?"
28264Wonder if there is any connection between the two?"
28264Wot''s the rumpus?"
28264Wot?
28264Wot?
28264Would any man have failed to fly to face the author of a foul lie like that?"
28264Would you mind letting him make the feint you yourself made a few minutes ago?
28264You ai n''t a- going to tell me that he''s been there?
28264You are going for a ride with me; and if---- Oh, that''s your little game, is it?"
28264You are still stopping in the house, you and your son, I think you remarked?
28264You believe you can outwit those dreadful people and save the Baron de Carjorac''s honour and his life?"
28264You ca n''t possibly think that Abdul ben Meerza really did send the thing?"
28264You came in your limousine, of course?
28264You did?
28264You do n''t mean to tell me that you had him, had him in your hands, and then let him go?
28264You do n''t mean to tell me that you let them take you in like that-- those two?
28264You got him then, got him after all?"
28264You grabbed him, did n''t you-- eh?"
28264You hear that, my good servitors?
28264You heard his scream, heard his fall, but he was dead when you got to him-- dead-- and you found no one here?"
28264You heard me signal you to head him off, did n''t you?"
28264You held them?
28264You know that blessed room at the angle just opposite the library, the one with the locked door?"
28264You learned something, then?"
28264You really do?"
28264You really hope to get the things?
28264You remember when I excused myself and went back on the pretext of having forgotten my magnifying glass the other day?
28264You saw her lift that trap; and what then?"
28264You took possession of them last night?
28264You''d think her heart was breaking, would n''t you?
28264You''ll use an alias, of course?"
28264You''re not going back on me, are you?"
28264You''re not going to ruin the show, are you, and after all the money I''ve put into it?
28264You''ve come for us, I suppose?
28264You, monsieur?
28264You-- you do not mean to tell me that he caused that?
28264Young or old?"
28264Your men will not want to search me, of course, when I am merely popping out and popping in again like that, I am sure?"
28264Your son?"
28264Yours?"
28264a secret door?
28264and, also, why?
28264do you see them, do you, Madame?"
28264do you think that you can find it in your heart to give it?"
28264exclaimed the count,"monsieur, what juggle is this?
28264he said, in a voice that shook with nervous catches and the emotion of a soul deeply stirred,"Cleek to take the case?
28264or what?
28264then he is dead, eh?
28264there''s a lotion, is there?"
28264what are you saying?"
28264what do you suppose that means?"
28264what have you stumbled upon now?"
28264what is it?"
28264what is wrong?"
28264what''s that?"
28264when?
28264where?"
28264who?
28264why do n''t you answer me, instead of staring at me like this?
28264will no one tell me what has happened?"
28264will not that hurry you, la reine?"
28264wo n''t your missis be proud when you take her to see that bloomin''film?"
28264you never let him get away, did you?
36346A mixture of the Far East and the Near West, is n''t it?
36346A stranger,cried Miss Pewsey tossing her head,"am I a stranger, indeed?
36346About that famous fan?
36346About the murder?
36346About what?
36346Am I proving anything? 36346 And I want to take my usual walk,"said Lady Jabe rising and settling her collar,"Chris?"
36346And Miss Pewsey''s mortgage?
36346And about the money, sir?
36346And has Miss Wharf got it now?
36346And has he consented?
36346And have you got it?
36346And how did he come to know Tung- yu?
36346And how do you size them up in this case?
36346And if you do?
36346And knows what about the fan?
36346And pray why is he?
36346And stole the packet then?
36346And then the arrangement was made?
36346And took it out again?
36346And what about her punishment, Rupert?
36346And what became of the cash?
36346And what did it explain?
36346And what has the fan to do with all this?
36346And what will you do, Rupert?
36346And where did you get it?
36346And where is that money?
36346And where is the Major?
36346And where was it?
36346And who is your master?
36346And whose day was it on the night of the crime?
36346And you Ainsleigh?
36346And you, Marquis?
36346Are there private as well as public gods in China?
36346Are you sure there are papers hidden?
36346Are you sure?
36346Before I wish you good- bye and all happiness,he said, holding out the famous fan,"will you take this?"
36346Burgh?
36346But I ca n''t very well see,said Rupert,"from which side do you count?"
36346But Tung- yu has the fan?
36346But about the fan?
36346But how are we to find the spot?
36346But how do you know Tung- yu was on board?
36346But how-- how?
36346But if Tung- yu has the papers, why did he write to Tidman?
36346But in what way?
36346But it''s such a mad idea?
36346But she does n''t know about his wishing to buy it?
36346But that''s rubbish, why should he murder Miss Wharf?
36346But the fan, dearest Sophia?--Can''t I take charge of it?
36346But the fan?
36346But the packet?
36346But was that necessary when you knew the hiding- place?
36346But what do you think will come of all this?
36346But what would a Chinaman be doing in the cloisters?
36346But why did he do that?
36346But why did n''t you tell me she held this mortgage?
36346But why in the Abbey?
36346But why should Forge be an enemy of my father''s?
36346But you were in the room the rest of the evening?
36346By all means,said Tidman serenely,"you did n''t bring me here to talk of that did you?"
36346By murder?
36346Ca n''t you do something?
36346Can I see her?
36346Can I speak with you?
36346Can he shoot?
36346Clarence, have you seen her?
36346Clarence?
36346Connected with the fan?
36346Connected with this ubiquitous fan?
36346Did anyone else see the tie?
36346Did he leave any address?
36346Did he see any Chinaman on board?
36346Did n''t the attendant interfere?
36346Did n''t you know the secret, when you possessed the fan?
36346Did the person who said that Hwei would go as far as crime, tell you the Mandarin''s name?
36346Did you come here to insult me?
36346Did you tell him about the fan and your adventure?
36346Do n''t defend Tung- yu too much,said the detective dryly,"your position is not a pleasant one and--""Do you mean to arrest me?"
36346Do you expect Hwei to be there also?
36346Do you intend to murder us?
36346Do you know anything of Tung- yu?
36346Do you know how he died?
36346Do you know the secret?
36346Do you really love the girl, so?
36346Do you think I should write to Rodgers?
36346Do you think he was here?
36346Do you wish to ask young Mr. Walker more about Tung- yu?
36346Does Forge say he owned part of the mine?
36346Does my aunt want me?
36346Eh, how was that?
36346Even five thousand pounds?
36346For money?
36346Forge? 36346 Forgot what?"
36346From a pirate?
36346Got a flesh wound,said Rupert, winding his handkerchief round his left arm,"and you?"
36346Has anyone entered the gates to- night?
36346Has he dared to write?
36346Has she got any hold over him?
36346Have I been ill long?
36346How can I?
36346How did he get the tie?
36346How did you get the papers?
36346How do I need you?
36346How do you know Major Tidman has?
36346How do you know it is accursed?
36346How do you know it''s a tie?
36346How do you know my name?
36346How do you know that?
36346How do you know that?
36346How does he end the letter?
36346How so?
36346How were you misled by me?
36346Huh,said the Major with supreme contempt,"any chance of that?"
36346Huh,said the irreverent Clarence,"ai n''t you past hoppin''aunt?"
36346Humph,said Rodgers again,"and how does Major Tidman come to know about the fan?"
36346Humph,said the detective, noting the name of the yacht,"do you know anything of the silk tie?"
36346I believe he met him in Canton,replied Rupert restlessly,"he had some adventure there--?"
36346I cut that out of''The Daily Telegraph,''said he handing it to the Major,"what do you make of it?"
36346I do n''t remember about the fan,said Tung- yu,"did our friend find it in Canton?"
36346I do n''t think it matters a bit,said Rupert,"has n''t your aunt seen anyone lately?"
36346I do n''t understand dear?
36346I do not quite understand, Madam?
36346I guess I''ll make tracks also?
36346I hope you do n''t suspect me?
36346I know who possessed the tie, and I shall hand that man--"Who the dickens is he anyhow?
36346I may be able to make it out of the fan?
36346I should like to know if you are my friend?
36346I think it is,replied the girl with a weary smile,"but she seems to have a kind of hypnotic power over my aunt--""What do you mean?"
36346I was just coming up to see you,said the Major,"look here?"
36346I wonder why he marries her?
36346I wonder why they do?
36346If I do, will you let me go?
36346If Tung- yu did n''t murder Miss Wharf, who did? 36346 In search of the doctor?"
36346In what way?
36346In what way?
36346Is Tung- yu there?
36346Is it worth that?
36346Is this true?
36346It looks like it,said he,"what will you do?"
36346It seems to be much of a muchness,said Rupert,"and Burgh?"
36346Just as well for you,said the Major sharply,"how dare you threaten me, you-- you--""Now I ask you,"said Clarence,"if I have threatened you?
36346Leaving Mr. Burgh in the cloak- room?
36346Lo- Keong,said Tidman searching his memory,"was n''t that the man your father knew?"
36346Master Rupert,said the old butler,"do you think that gentleman is your friend?"
36346Mr. Orlando Rodgers, C.I.D.?
36346Near the place?
36346Not as a partner?
36346Not quite,said Tidman who was puzzled,"how did the fan come to England again?"
36346Now then Mr. Ainsleigh, tell me how you came to go up about the advertisement?
36346Of whom are you talking?
36346Oh Master Rupert what is it?
36346Oh Rupert, do you know me?
36346Oh, so the fan was the cause of the adventure?
36346Oh,said Rupert making a wry face,"not about your aunt?"
36346Oh,said Tidman, a light breaking on him,"you think Lo- Keong may have given the fan to your father?"
36346Probably,said the Mandarin indifferently,"and after all sir, why not?
36346Really and truly,said Miss Pewsey clutching her bag convulsively and with glittering eyes,"who says so-- who pays it-- who--?"
36346Really, Miss Pewsey----"You''d like to see me in the dock would you?
36346Rupert, are you mad? 36346 Rupert, do you think Lo- Keong killed your father?"
36346She knew about the god Kwang- ho, then?
36346She''s a detestable woman,said Rupert angrily,"why ca n''t she leave you alone?"
36346So you used the means of the fan to tell where they were hidden?
36346Sophia Wharf?
36346That will not take long,said the Chinaman cheerfully, yet with an unpleasant stare,"where is the fan of the Mandarin?"
36346The fan-- the fan--"What is it?
36346The packet?
36346The prophecy?
36346Then what motive do you think--?
36346Then who did kill her?
36346Then who do you think is guilty?
36346Then who has?
36346Then you know who did?
36346Then you were in Marport on that night?
36346To what am I indebted--?
36346To whom have I the honour of speaking?
36346True enough,admitted Ainsleigh impatiently,"but what has this to do with the death of my father?"
36346Tung- yu''s no slouch, you bet, and did n''t intend to lose his prize--"The fan?
36346Us?
36346Very good, the third line is fulfilled and the fourth--"Was gold brought forth from the holy ashes?
36346Was he murdered?
36346Was n''t the cabinet locked?
36346Well then, why not marry Clarence?
36346Well, do n''t you think I should tell the whole story to my aunt?
36346Well, then,said Rupert,"when the picture is visible what happens?"
36346Well, what is worrying you?
36346Well,asked Rupert, drinking his tea,"what do you think?"
36346Well,said Ainsleigh shortly,"and what did you do?"
36346Well,said Forge deliberately and looking on the ground,"you know that your father and I invested in a gold mine on the Hwei River?
36346Well,said the young man meditatively,"either I must sell up, and clear out to seek my fortune, leaving Olivia to marry young Walker, or--""Or what?"
36346Well?
36346Were you not with my father when he died?
36346What about the fan?
36346What about? 36346 What about?"
36346What about?
36346What about?
36346What about?
36346What can happen to- night man alive?
36346What did he say?
36346What did he say?
36346What did she confess?
36346What do you know about Clarence Burgh?
36346What do you know of him aunt?
36346What do you mean by that?
36346What do you mean by that?
36346What do you mean by that?
36346What do you mean by this drivel?
36346What do you mean?
36346What do you think of it?
36346What do you want to do with it?
36346What do_ you_ know?
36346What does Mr. Walker say?
36346What fan?
36346What fan?
36346What had taken the deceased lady down the little- frequented steps?
36346What happened next?
36346What has he to do with it?
36346What if he does?
36346What is it?
36346What is this private god?
36346What kind of a secret?
36346What makes you think he is n''t, John?
36346What makes you think so?
36346What makes you think that?
36346What papers, sir?
36346What right''s that second hand joss to give orders in a free country, Hwei?
36346What sort of an adventure?
36346What was that?
36346What we want to know,said Ainsleigh, speaking for himself and Rogers,"is, how did the fan get back to you?"
36346What''s that about the fan?
36346What''s that got to do with me?
36346What''s that?
36346What''s that?
36346What''s that?
36346What''s that?
36346What''s the matter, Master Rupert?
36346What''s the matter?
36346What''s the matter?
36346What''s to be done?
36346What, in everyone?
36346What, on the eve of the wedding?
36346What,she said, much more her own evil self,"did Clarence accuse my Theophilus?
36346What?
36346What?
36346When can you foreclose?
36346When did you see Burgh last?
36346When was that?
36346Where are they-- what are they? 36346 Where is Hwei?"
36346Where is Miss Rayner?
36346Where is he now?
36346Where is my dear Sophia?
36346Who attacked you, sir?
36346Who is he anyhow?
36346Who is he?
36346Who is there, ma''am?
36346Who says so, John?
36346Who says so?
36346Who slew her?
36346Who told you I did?
36346Who told you I had been in China?
36346Who told you that?
36346Why did n''t you give up the fan then?
36346Why do n''t you ask her to dance?
36346Why do you want to talk of that?
36346Why in heaven''s name?
36346Why is it important?
36346Why not?
36346Why should I help you?
36346Why should n''t you go there?
36346Why should there be any difficulty with him?
36346Why should you think that?
36346Why, what do you know of the Chinese, Major?
36346Why? 36346 Why?"
36346Will he give it?
36346Will you never be friends with her?
36346Will you send him the ten thousand pounds, Rupert?
36346Wo n''t Mr. Ainsleigh escort us?
36346Wo n''t he?
36346Yes,said Rupert, quite amazed at this penetration,"but how do you know that?"
36346Yes-- yes-- but that is better now,said the Major hurriedly,"so Miss Wharf is here, and has the fan?"
36346You are quite sure you wo n''t have some refreshment?
36346You did n''t know it was there?
36346You did not leave the room again?
36346You do n''t know the kind of smoke?
36346You drank it in China did n''t you?
36346You kept that fan for a long time?
36346You knew my father well Tidman?
36346You mean that you will get the money to pay me and others?
36346_ We_ sir?
36346Ai n''t you going to see him?"
36346Ainsleigh, is there another Chinaman here to- night?"
36346Ainsleigh?"
36346Ainsleigh?"
36346Ainsleigh?"
36346All the same Hwei was here, and perhaps he came up to the Abbey--""Why?"
36346Am I ever out of trouble?"
36346And where am I to get it?
36346Any more trouble?"
36346Are y''going to round on him?"
36346Are you satisfied?"
36346As I have seen the Superintendent and can learn nothing likely to throw light on the subject, I have come to you-- a relative?"
36346Because I marry Miss Pewsey?"
36346Burgh?"
36346But Aunty''s going to hitch up long- side old Forge----""And he?"
36346But Marquis, why did you not send my father''s money to my mother?"
36346But am I?"
36346But are you of my opinion that Burgh is guilty?"
36346But do you see the blackened square?"
36346But have n''t the Ainsleighs always married poor girls?"
36346But have you really anything to do with this murder?"
36346But he dropped the joss- stick and-- where is it Olivia?"
36346But how did he lose the fan?"
36346But the fourth line?
36346But what right has she to order you about like this?
36346But when you were my guardian, why did you not tell me that the property was so encumbered?"
36346But why do you make that remark, Olivia?"
36346By the way did you see the advertisement?"
36346CHAPTER XIX A VISITOR How came the fan there-- and on the accursed square of ground where no grass would grow?
36346CHAPTER XXI WHO IS GUILTY?
36346Ca n''t we go a stretch along the lower part of the town?"
36346Ca n''t we sit down?"
36346Can you swear that he did?"
36346Can you wonder that I hate the son of the woman who stole my love away from me?"
36346Did he tell you Clarence?"
36346Did n''t he give it to Lo- Keong?"
36346Did n''t you advertise for the fan?"
36346Did you tell her of your adventure?"
36346Do n''t you remember a tree was drawn at the side of the picture with a white line down the trunk?"
36346Do you advise me to marry him?"
36346Do you believe he is guilty?"
36346Do you believe that Major Tidman has it?"
36346Do you expect Hwei?
36346Does Walker know of the fan?"
36346Eh?"
36346Forge has been here?"
36346Forge know the truth?"
36346Forge refused, as he said the fan has something to do with a secret--""Whose secret?"
36346Forge went with the master to China,"said the old man,"how did the master die?"
36346Forge''s hands into those of the pirate?"
36346Forge?"
36346Forge?"
36346Have you a copy of that advertisement?"
36346Have you heard what Mr. Burgh told the Major about that horrid fan?"
36346He asked me to let him have the tie--""What for?"
36346He brought the fan from that place?"
36346He came with a letter of introduction from a mandarin----""Lo- Keong?"
36346He gave it to me--""Why did you want it?"
36346How came Miss Pewsey into this den?
36346How could he let these things depart from him, for ever?
36346How did you know that Forge had had the fan?"
36346How do you keep your youth so?
36346How do you make that out?"
36346How is that?"
36346Hurt Ainsleigh?"
36346Hwei told me that he came to the cloisters one night to see that all was well----""He knew of the hiding place then?"
36346I am glad to see you, sir,"he laid a finger on Tidman''s chest,"you have something to tell me no doubt?"
36346I can keep Mr. Burgh off--""Who is he?"
36346I do n''t intend to defend myself,"was the young man''s reply,"did you come to discuss this matter?"
36346I heard of your advertisement----""What advertisement?"
36346I lost a big toe--""Oh,"said Rupert, while Rodgers shook his head,"did this man cut a toe off?"
36346I refused it----""I should think so,"said Ainsleigh fuming,"well?"
36346I want to ask your advice?"
36346I wish you would let me conduct the business, and_ do_ let me take the fan?"
36346I wonder how Tung- yu''s escaped the police?"
36346If Aunt Sophia learned that we were married-- hark, what was that?"
36346Lavinia?"
36346Lying is a fine art in the Far East, and--""Yes-- Yes,"said Tidman impatiently,"but what has all this to do with the fan?"
36346Miss Rayner, or rather Mrs. Ainsleigh turned on the little woman,"I should like to know when I said that to you Miss Pewsey?"
36346My Sophia was murdered to obtain possession of a fan----""What fan?"
36346My Theophilus will we not go?"
36346Now I--""I must be going,"interrupted Ainsleigh annoyed by the man''s glib talk,"have you anything else to say?"
36346Now what do you say?"
36346Oh, Master Rupert dear, what did you see?"
36346Oh,"the young man started up and walked to and fro,"why did n''t I go into the law, or take to some profession where I might make money?
36346Olivia?"
36346Rodgers?"
36346Rupert turned round sharply,"what fan?"
36346See here,"Clarence leaned forward and looked agreeable, though his wicked black eyes snapped fire,"why should n''t you and I be friends?"
36346Tell me who is guilty?"
36346Tell me why you killed Miss Wharf?"
36346The man closed the door, and then drew a fan from his breast--""The fan in question?"
36346The mystery of the fan piqued him,"I wonder what he meant by that?"
36346The question is, which tree is it?"
36346Then he said if I made any fuss, he''d tell the police about--""About what?"
36346There a Chinaman examined me, and asked me what I had done with the fan--""What sort of a man was he?"
36346This Chinaman Tung- yu--""Oh,"said the Major,"then you did n''t see Hwei or Kan- su?"
36346Those Chinamen?"
36346To bring out the picture, this fan has to be waved in certain smoke--""What sort of smoke?"
36346WHO IS GUILTY?
36346Was Burgh ever in China?"
36346Was he disturbed?"
36346Was he killed in the same way as Miss Wharf?"
36346Was he the one- eyed Chinaman?"
36346Was n''t his father murdered in China?"
36346Well we worked it for a long time until your father died of dysentery--""Are you sure he died of dysentery?"
36346Well, and what is to be done now?"
36346Well, now you both know where the packet is?"
36346Well, will you come?"
36346Well,"she added sharply, as the detective rose,"what do you say?"
36346Well?"
36346Well?"
36346Well?"
36346Well?"
36346Well?"
36346Well?"
36346What about him?"
36346What do you mean?"
36346What is her name?"
36346What is it?"
36346What is the time, Olivia?"
36346What is to be done now, gentlemen?
36346What love have you ever shown me?"
36346What makes Tung- yu accuse you, and why do you get a letter from China?"
36346What will you do?"
36346What''s the matter with you?"
36346What''s to be done?"
36346What''s to be done?"
36346When I was at Pekin, your father, who did not understand the Chinese so well as I did, managed to make trouble--""In what way?"
36346Where am I-- what are you doing here?"
36346Where did Burgh get it?"
36346Who has the papers?"
36346Who is the Mandarin?"
36346Who would give a large sum for that fan?"
36346Why should she do that?"
36346Why should she want him to marry Olivia?"
36346Why should the ghost of an old monk use a joss- stick, like the Chinese?"
36346Why that is the man who owns the fan?"
36346Why?"
36346Will you go?"
36346Yes it is about young Ainsleigh, and how dare you call him Rupert?"
36346You remember my father''s expedition to China?"
36346You understand?"
36346asked Rupert,"would you know him again?"
36346asked Tidman, craning over Forge''s shoulder at an empty drawer,"where is the fan?"
36346asked the detective taking out his note- book,"and who is Rupert Ainsleigh?"
36346how can you get gold from ashes?"
36346questioned the old butler with a shiver,"have you seen_ It_?"
36346said Rupert, throwing his cap down and sinking wearily into a near chair,"anything wrong?"
40848An excuse? 40848 An excuse?"
40848An''what''s become of Jos Humphrey?
40848And now, most honoured sir, how goes the cause in England?
40848And what else is the news amongst the students?
40848And what is the breadth of the Clyde below Greenock?
40848And what is your object in keeping me from Sophie?
40848And why should n''t I?
40848And you''re going to murder me for being a ranger?
40848Are the store- rooms on a level with or underneath the state- cabins?
40848Are they there?
40848Are you sure?
40848Art thou ill? 40848 But he has spoken of it?"
40848But suppose a man brought explosives aboard with him?
40848By what right do you prevent us?
40848Cain was damned,I cried,"and he slew but one; would you have the blood of two hundred upon your souls?"
40848Can I not soften you in any way?
40848Can you tell me, sir,he said,"when this ship will be heard of again?"
40848Can you tell us how it is that so large a concern is kept so completely secret?
40848Come, boys, what shall it be-- hanging, drowning, or shooting? 40848 D''ye call this a civilised land,"I cried,"and let a man be murdered in cold blood in open daylight?"
40848Deutsch?
40848Do n''t you know,I said,"that I have served the Government and got a free pardon?"
40848Do n''t you think you are rather underrating them?
40848Do you imagine that I would injure her? 40848 Do you mind moving out of that, sir?"
40848Englishmen always travel for pleasure, do n''t they? 40848 Espagnol?"
40848Every secret society has produced desperate men-- why should n''t the Fenians have them too? 40848 Excuse me,"returned Flannigan,"but is there not some room for doubt yet as to the fate of the_ Dotterel_?
40848Francais?
40848Has the great commissioner condescended to send a missive to the Solteff branch?
40848Have any orders been made in Birmingham concerning it?
40848Here''s Chicago Bill,he said;"what is it?"
40848How is he? 40848 How long are you going to keep it up?"
40848How many men does she carry?
40848How many?
40848How much, Jimmy?
40848How''s this?
40848How''s your chest?
40848I hear it is your own design, every bit of it, is n''t it?
40848I wonder if the trigger will act?
40848If you are indeed Gustave Berger,said Petrokine,"who is this?"
40848Is no one looking?
40848Is that you, Hammond?
40848It is still, I suppose, entirely unsuspected by the police?
40848Made your pile?
40848May I ask what precautions are taken against them?
40848May I ask, captain,I said, bending forward, and speaking very distinctly,"what you think of Fenian manifestoes?"
40848Mining, I suppose?
40848Mr. Dimidoff, I presume?
40848No, now-- are you though? 40848 Nothing else to report, I suppose, warder?"
40848Now, Paul Ivanovitch,said he,"what have you to say before you go?"
40848Oh, Dick, Dick,I cried;"how can you be so blind?
40848Oh, that''s it, is it?
40848One of us?
40848Say, George,he said,"what''s become of Josiah Mapleton?"
40848Shall you or I pull the string?
40848Should you like very much to go out?
40848Steward,said Dick,"are there any other gentlemen about?"
40848The weather is fine,I said;"why should we not be heard of at our destination?"
40848Then is it not clear? 40848 Then you have of course seen the private workshop and arsenal?"
40848There, Dick,I said, as I concluded,"what do you think of that?
40848Think what''s all right?
40848Travelling for pleasure, perhaps?
40848We were to let it off at ten, were we not?
40848Well, Maloney,he said,"how long are you going to honour us with your society?"
40848Well, did he come back?
40848Well, what d''ye think?
40848Well, what do you think now?
40848What are we to do with it?
40848What country do you come from?
40848What d''ye mean?
40848What d''ye mean?
40848What d''ye see, Jack?
40848What did you say?
40848What have I done?
40848What have I done?
40848What is it to me if he does give his servant the sack? 40848 What is it to you whether they are drowned or not?
40848What is it?
40848What is your name?
40848What means this intrusion, sir?
40848What the deuce is the fellow driving at?
40848What was it?
40848What''s that?
40848What''s the row now?
40848What''s to harm them?
40848Where are ye off to to- day then?
40848Where then?
40848Where''s Chicago Bill?
40848Who are you?
40848Who drove us from Odessa by his false tongue and his double face? 40848 Who is he?"
40848Who is it?
40848Why, mate,he continued,"if we did knock up agin these all- fired varmin, ye do n''t suppose you and I would go for them?
40848Why, what is it? 40848 Why, what''s come over him?
40848You do n''t say so?
40848You got ashore all right, then?
40848You have been to Birmingham?
40848You think it''s all right, George?
40848You want me to go back?
40848You wo n''t give her up to me?
40848And now what does the country do in return?
40848And what is the news of the corps, Otto?
40848And why did I pace the solitary shore, hot and wrathful as a wolf whose whelp has been torn from it?
40848And you, Inspector Baumgarten, you would not willingly have struck your friend the sub- inspector?"
40848But how could such a rush be organised without speaking, and who would attempt it without a previous agreement that he would be supported?
40848But see, what is that?"
40848But what did they mean by their allusion to to- night?
40848Can you give us any particulars about it?"
40848Could it be that they contemplated putting their horrible design into execution on the very first evening of our voyage?
40848Could n''t you do anything for him?"
40848Do n''t you see that every word confirmed our previous suspicion?"
40848Do you know what that is?
40848Do you know who it is that has been playing it upon you for months as a parson and a saint?
40848Do you not think that she may come to forget this man and to love me?"
40848Do you remember at school how you swore there was a ghost in the long room, and how it turned out to be your own reflection in the mirror?
40848Do you think this is a wayside inn or place of public accommodation?"
40848Every eye was turned on him as Braxton, the young Irish trooper of constabulary, said,"What do you make of the horse, Bill?"
40848Has Graube fought the Swabian?"
40848How long do you reckon it will be before they hear of us?"
40848I demanded of my fellow- clerk;"has he got scent of our Nicolaieff escapade, or what is it?"
40848I s''pose you''re game to come yourself?"
40848Is it anything of value?"
40848It could only be them: who else would camp on the summit of a desolate hill?
40848It seemed right enough to German eyes; why should n''t dynamite seem so to the Fenian?"
40848Maybe you do n''t know who 82 is?"
40848Might it not by some remote possibility prove that I was mistaken?
40848My revolver was in my hip- pocket; but what was that against so many desperate men?
40848No doubt the reason is that you have heard that one of your students, Von Schlegel, is arrested for attempting the life of Leopold Strauss?"
40848Oh, I say, you''ve left the balance of that cake of tobacco behind you, have n''t you?
40848She was a leaky tub, but what then?
40848Should I demand a few minutes''conversation with the latter in his own cabin, and reveal it all?
40848Should I stand up now and denounce them before both passengers and captain?
40848Speak, sir,"he added, addressing me:"who and what are you?"
40848That''s about my figure, ai n''t it?
40848Then the voice began again--"They''ll hear the drop of the trigger, wo n''t they?"
40848There will be some excitement among those we have left behind, wo n''t there?"
40848There''s nothin''deadly in all that, is there?
40848Was I in Mr. Dimidoff''s?
40848Was I, who had cast many a wistful, doubtful glance at my opium bottle, to begin now to weigh chances and to cavil at danger?
40848Was Von Schlegel then the murderer of Professor von Hopstein and of the Bohemian Jew?
40848Was it my fancy that there was a peculiar noise in the street-- a noise as of many feet treading softly?
40848Was it that I loved this Muscovite girl?
40848Was it the three minions whom I had seen before in the performance of their hateful functions, and who, like vultures, had sniffed another victim?
40848What companion is there like the great restless, throbbing sea?
40848What did it all mean?
40848What do men know of Jack Braxton, the private of police?
40848What do you mean?
40848What happens then?
40848What harm was I doing any one on the ship?
40848What human mood is there which it does not match and sympathise with?
40848What is it to us where they went?
40848What more d''ye want?"
40848What the deuce are you talking about, McPherson?
40848What the devil is to harm them?"
40848What was I to do?
40848What was it to me whether she had lived or died?
40848What was the use of having money if you could n''t dress as you liked, nor bust it properly?
40848What was to be done now?
40848What were they to do with me?
40848What would be my feelings if there should turn out to be no grounds for my accusation?
40848What''s become of young Broadhurst?"
40848What''s the matter, Jack?"
40848Where could I send her, and what could I do with her?
40848Where was I?
40848Who comes here?"
40848Who cut the wire that would have destroyed the arch- tyrant?
40848Who were these men, with their strange words?
40848Who wrote the anonymous letter to the Governor?
40848Why do you do this thing?"
40848Why do you wish to be drowned?"
40848Why else should her little head be nestling so lovingly on his broad breast, while her yellow hair entwined itself with his flowing beard?
40848Why should I help men who were blind to their own danger?
40848Why should n''t I say what I like?
40848Why should they presume to shirk the narrow pathway along which all that is great and noble among mankind has travelled?
40848Why, how are you, old man?"
40848Why, man,"he continued,"what object would any one have in destroying this ship?
40848Why, too, should there be that bright smile of ineffable happiness and triumph, which death itself had not had power to banish from his dusky face?
40848Why, what the devil do_ you_ make of all that nonsense about a mysterious agent which would signal our whereabouts?"
40848Why, you_ fools_"( this with a hiss of contempt which rang in our ears for many a long day),"do you know who it is that has stuck you up?
40848Will he die?"
40848Will the bottom be of wood or iron?"
40848Wo n''t you take a seat?"
40848Would they admit of any construction but the one which stared me in the face?
40848You are not going out, are you?"
40848You have n''t a plug of tobacco, Doctor, have you?"
40848You''d have thought they would have been sick of ill- using me and following me by this time-- wouldn''t you, now?
40848You''re not going, are you?
40848You''ve never had the police after you, I suppose?
40848_ Mal de mer_, eh?"
40848_ THAT LITTLE SQUARE BOX._"All aboard?"
40848and, above all, what am I to do?"
40848growled another,"hain''t we got a man as is worth any three parsons, and can splash texts around like clay out o''a cradle?
40848he said, in his kindly way,"what''s put you about, Hammond?
40848said Petrokine;"and yet we are all present; who can it be?"
40848said the fat lady at my side,"you do n''t really think they would blow up a ship?"
40848what have you seen?"
40848would ye?"
34945A murder?
34945Afraid?
34945An understanding with me?
34945And my money-- what about that? 34945 And she left no message?"
34945And that?
34945And the amount?
34945And to name your price?
34945And what business is it of his?
34945And what is it that you wish?
34945And when I am gone?
34945And yet--"And yet what?
34945And you are content to leave it like that?
34945And you?
34945And you?
34945And you?
34945And you?
34945Any one rung up?
34945Anything else, sir?
34945Anything else?
34945Anything else?
34945Anything else?
34945Are n''t you satisfied?
34945Are you badly hurt?
34945Are you going down to the manager to tell him what I have told you?
34945Are you satisfied?
34945Are you still angry with me?
34945Are you tired, or are n''t you well?
34945Are you tired, or what?
34945Are you-- going to stay here?
34945At last,he said,"you are going to admit your possession of that little document?"
34945Besides--"Besides what?
34945Brave or callous, do you think?
34945But of himself?
34945But that does n''t matter, does it? 34945 But what?"
34945But where would you live?
34945But you are not hurt?
34945But you?
34945But your aunt?
34945But, my dear young lady,the lawyer commenced,--"Ca n''t you see the truth?"
34945By Rowan-- Basil Rowan?
34945By the bye,Major Elstree asked,"has anyone seen a special edition?
34945By the way,he asked,"are you the chambermaid who waits on this room?"
34945By the way,he said finally,"was n''t there a murder committed in one of these rooms?"
34945By the way,he said,"do you know anything about the chambermaid on this floor-- the young, slim one?"
34945Ca n''t you recognize my subdued appearance?
34945Ca n''t you see that Deane has given himself into our hands? 34945 Ca n''t you see, you two,"she exclaimed,--"can''t you understand that the man has been robbed of something?
34945Can I have a word or two with you?
34945Can I rely upon you,he asked,"to let me know at once if anyone should come forward to claim them?"
34945Can I see you back to the old lady''s, anyhow?
34945Can we get through to Rakney, Murray,he asked him,"or shall we stop at King''s Lynn?"
34945Can you tell me if Miss Rowan is employed here?
34945Can you think of anyone?
34945Come,he said,"you are not going to suggest that I have been dreaming, or that you have had one of these fashionable lapses of memory?
34945Could I?
34945Could n''t I-- get back to the village?
34945Dead?
34945Deane,he said,"have you any idea of paying a visit to the Universal Hotel?"
34945Did he believe in it?
34945Did he say nothing of himself?
34945Did he say what his motive was? 34945 Did n''t they give their name?"
34945Did you ask the office about Miss Rowan?
34945Did you wish me to make any arrangements, sir,he asked,"for the journey to Scotland?"
34945Do I understand that he sent you-- that he knew you were coming to me?
34945Do I understand you rightly? 34945 Do n''t you remember at our last meeting you promised to bring my tea a few hours later?
34945Do n''t you want to go out and smoke or something?
34945Do you believe, then,she asked,"that Mr. Deane has the deed?"
34945Do you dislike me?
34945Do you hold any of our shares?
34945Do you imagine,the girl asked, without change of countenance,"that you will find it here?"
34945Do you know her name?
34945Do you know that it is nearly half- past four?
34945Do you know what the big things are?
34945Do you know who has the key? 34945 Do you mean about Deane?"
34945Do you mean that he is there with you now?
34945Do you mean that it would be as much as that if you gave up business? 34945 Do you mean that you would like me to go to London for you, and search through your uncle''s effects?"
34945Do you mean--"I mean have they been sent to Scotland Yard, or are they still in that locked- up room at the Universal Hotel?
34945Do you play golf?
34945Do you remember the name of the hotel?
34945Do you suppose,he continued,"that it would be possible to get hold of a duplicate key?
34945Do you take us for fools? 34945 Do you think that I am a fool?
34945Do you think that I can be muzzled? 34945 Do you think we can hold our own against a man like Stirling Deane?"
34945Do you think,Deane asked,"that there is any chance of a reprieve?"
34945Does Olive know of this little luncheon party of ours, Lord Nunneley?
34945Does it do you any good?
34945Father,she said,"will you leave us for a moment?
34945First,he said,"I must see-- I must see--""Whom?"
34945For always?
34945Free?
34945Go to London? 34945 Got rid of him?"
34945Guilty of murder or manslaughter?
34945Has he any other relatives?
34945Have I ever failed to make my own way?
34945Have you a paper?
34945Have you another key?
34945Have you been telephoning to the other end of the world?
34945Have you ever thought of the matter from the other point of view?
34945Have you got them?
34945Have you read the evidence at the trial?
34945He did not send you here,Deane continued,"to beg for help-- to waste my time in purposeless recriminations?"
34945He had a commission from you, had he not, and he failed?
34945He has some documents, I suppose?
34945He is in London?
34945His real name,the man answered,"was the same as your own,--that is,"he added,"I think I heard old Mrs. Towsley call you Miss Sinclair, did n''t I?"
34945How can I be particularly amiable to a young lady who is trying to ruin me?
34945How can anyone intervene?
34945How can we compromise?
34945How did you find me out?
34945How did you know what I came for?
34945How do you know?
34945How ever did you get old Pegg and his wife to clear out?
34945How far are we from London?
34945How long have you had this idea, Olive?
34945How many of the roses, madam?
34945How many subscribers have you there?
34945I am not hurt much,she answered weakly,"but--""But what?"
34945I am sorry,she answered,"but ca n''t you see that it makes no difference?
34945I am to understand, then, finally, that you want me to buy your silence?
34945I could scarcely be expected to cook for myself, could I?
34945I hope that you are succeeding?
34945I may at least be permitted to ask,he continued,"when it is your intention to-- marry me?"
34945I suppose you could n''t manage things so that I could have a look at it?
34945I suppose,he said thoughtfully,"you would like me, Olive, to explain exactly how this claim came about?"
34945I suppose,said he,"you would consider it necessary for me to tell my niece about this?
34945I wonder,he continued,"what are you going to do this afternoon?"
34945If I give you this sum,Deane asked,"do I understand that it closes the whole affair?
34945If I win,she asked,"who will lose the money?"
34945If it is true, why does n''t Hefferom produce his document and have done with it?
34945If the document was valueless, why should you bother about it?
34945If they are going to reprieve him,she continued,"why do they let him suffer these agonies?
34945In any case, we do n''t want to take alms from him, do we?
34945In other words,Deane said,"you propose that instead of suffering myself to be jilted by Lady Olive, I should offer myself as a victim?"
34945In other words,remarked Deane,"I am to buy your silence as to these matters upon which you have spoken, for the sum of one hundred thousand pounds?"
34945In the meantime,he inquired,"I shall have the pleasure of being received by you?"
34945In what?
34945In whose possession are those documents at the present moment?
34945Is Hefferom free?
34945Is it not true that Sinclair paid you a visit at your offices a few days before his murder?
34945Is that Hardaway?
34945Is that all the lilacs you have?
34945Is that laziness?
34945Is that so?
34945Is the deed a forgery?
34945Is there any news, George?
34945Is there anyone at all to whom you spoke of this?
34945Is there anything fresh?
34945Is there news?
34945Is this Prince''s? 34945 Is this business or friendship?"
34945It is Mr. and Mrs. Sarsby with whom you live?
34945It is true?
34945It isn''t-- it could n''t be a telegram?
34945It was to make an offer for some document, was it not?
34945Jewelry interests you?
34945Lawyers do n''t usually throw money away, do they? 34945 May I ask where is this wonderful deed?"
34945May I ask,said Deane,"why you are so sure that he went to do my bidding?"
34945May I see the place where the instrument was?
34945May I sit down?
34945Meaning,he remarked,"that we are companions in-- dumpiness?"
34945Miss Rowan paid her bill?
34945Mr. Sarsby,he said,"did I understand that the name of your niece''s uncle was Sinclair-- the same as her own?"
34945Mr. Stirling Deane?
34945My dear Stirling,she whispered,"have you had a very trying morning?
34945My plans?
34945News?
34945No one has yet claimed Sinclair''s effects, then?
34945Not on the telephone at all?
34945Not on your own account, I hope?
34945Nothing wrong, I hope, Deane?
34945Nothing?
34945Now tell me exactly what you think of my father''s request?
34945One only, madam?
34945Or is it only the date?
34945Or its results?
34945Or shall I come to tea? 34945 Perhaps, as you were never at the Hotel Universal, you were never in Rakney?
34945Read,he said Lady Olive came slowly forward to meet him"There was some matter which you wished to discuss, then?"
34945Richard Sinclair''s niece?
34945Rowan was tried, I suppose?
34945Shall I see you to- morrow, Stirling?
34945She would not be allowed in 27?
34945She would not be likely to be there to clean it out, or anything of that sort?''
34945Since you are here, may I offer you some tea?
34945So you''ve found her, have you?
34945Some tea, sir?
34945Still, he had got that document?
34945Surely I made it all plain enough? 34945 Tell me exactly what you felt, what it meant to you?
34945Tell me how you spend your time, Miss Sinclair?
34945Tell me how?
34945Tell me, Miss Rowan,he said,"what are your plans now?"
34945Tell me, did the suggestion that our engagement should be broken off come from him?
34945Tell me, do you live here? 34945 Tell me, what time do your letters come?"
34945Tell me,he asked, soon after they started,"what made you go to that house?"
34945Tell me,he asked,"do you live absolutely alone?"
34945Tell me,he said quietly,"do you really care for me, Olive?
34945That''s a fruitful subject, is n''t it?
34945The case can not be reopened?
34945The reprieve?
34945The room is locked up?
34945The young lady is waiting outside?
34945Then why,she asked wonderingly,"did you come down here?"
34945There is n''t such a thing as a duplicate, I suppose?
34945There was some matter which you wished to discuss, then?
34945There were papers?
34945Things have gone pretty well with you, eh, Deane? 34945 This is really serious, then?"
34945To stay in London?
34945Was it a rich one-- very rich, I mean?
34945Was n''t it upon this floor,he asked,"that a murder took place lately?"
34945Was the murderer caught?
34945Was there anyone else upon the scent, then?
34945Well,he said,"what is that to you or to me?"
34945Well,he said,"you wo n''t want to go wearing yourself out making more millions, surely?
34945Well?
34945Well?
34945Well?
34945Well?
34945Well?
34945Well?
34945Well?
34945Well?
34945What about Prince''s?
34945What about you then?
34945What are we to do? 34945 What brings you here at this hour?"
34945What did you come over for?
34945What do you mean? 34945 What do you say to it all?"
34945What do you want here?
34945What else could they do? 34945 What good are they to me?"
34945What good would that have been to me?
34945What has gone?
34945What have we gained?
34945What have you to say about it?
34945What is Hefferom to you?
34945What is that?
34945What is the matter with your uncle?
34945What is the matter?
34945What reason is there in life, in death, in success or failure? 34945 What the devil else is there anyone can do for me?"
34945What was he over in England for?
34945What was his name?
34945What would you do?
34945When are you going?
34945When can I go back?
34945When does the other chambermaid come on duty?
34945When is there a train?
34945When were you released?
34945Where are you dining?
34945Where are you staying?
34945Where are you taking me to lunch?
34945Where do I come in?
34945Where is the telephone?
34945Where to now?
34945Where to?
34945Where was I rung up from a few moments ago?
34945Who are you, and what do you want with me? 34945 Who are you, please, and what do you want?"
34945Who are you?
34945Who are''we''?
34945Who could intervene?
34945Who is it?
34945Who is that?
34945Why did you disturb me?
34945Why do n''t they hang him?
34945Why have you come back?
34945Why not?
34945Why should I be?
34945Why should I be?
34945Why should I?
34945Why strange?
34945Why unconvincing?
34945Why wo n''t you help me?
34945Why wo n''t you help me?
34945Why?
34945Why?
34945Why?
34945Will you come to my rooms,he asked,"or shall we go into the Carlton and hear the music?"
34945Will you do it,Deane asked,"if it should ever be set into action against me?
34945Will you pay for this, please?
34945Will you stop for a moment, please?
34945Will you tell her,he asked,"that I should like to see her as soon as she is up?
34945Will you tell me, then,he asked,"how you learned to wear your clothes?--how you picked up all the little tricks of social life?"
34945Will you tell us what transpired at that interview?
34945Winifred, will you go on an errand for me?
34945Winifred,he said,"what is the matter with you?
34945Winter and summer?
34945Would it have been of any interest to you to secure it?
34945Would you like to take my arm?
34945Would you like your tea, sir?
34945Yes, but why?
34945Yes,--what is it?
34945Yes?
34945You answer quickly, but is that because you are very, very sure, or because you are taking it for granted? 34945 You are a Londoner?"
34945You are going to London, are you not?
34945You are going to the Waldrons'', I suppose?
34945You are going to travel at last, then?
34945You are not blaming me, by any chance?
34945You are not forgetting,the girl remarked,"that the thirty- eight shillings you are speaking of is my property?"
34945You are quite sure?
34945You are really not so very much alarmed, then?
34945You are still on duty, then?
34945You are sure that it is I who am wanted?
34945You are sure that there is nothing else?
34945You are sure,he said,"that you have somewhere to go to, Rowan?"
34945You are sure,she asked,"that you do not mind being seen out?"
34945You are sure?
34945You came here, then, only to rest?
34945You could n''t suggest any means by which I could enter that room, even if it were an affair of say fifty pounds to you?
34945You did n''t know the fellow, by any chance, did you?
34945You do n''t believe in the existence of any such document, then?
34945You do n''t even know,she asked,"whether the speculation is successful or not?"
34945You do n''t mean to insinuate,he began,"that I-- that I had given it away?"
34945You do n''t travel much, then?
34945You get holidays, of course?
34945You have a servant?
34945You have a wife?
34945You have been expecting to see me?
34945You have come for money, have you?
34945You have found it, perhaps?
34945You have lost the case, have n''t you?
34945You have no idea, I suppose, what became of it?
34945You hear? 34945 You hear?"
34945You heard the result?
34945You knew of its existence?
34945You mean to say that you do n''t want to come back to Rakney?
34945You remember me, Rowan?
34945You remember, of course, his charging a man named Hefferom-- a South African-- with an attempt at blackmail the other day? 34945 You see that cottage we are just passing?
34945You see that policeman there? 34945 You want me to give you a perfectly honest answer?"
34945You will excuse me?
34945You wish to see me?
34945You wished to see me?
34945You wo n''t expect too much of me in that way, will you?
34945You would have destroyed it, I suppose?
34945You would like our engagement announced?
34945You would like some more flowers?
34945You yourself?
34945Young lady,he said sternly,"are you mad?"
34945Young lady,he said,"what sort of a life did you lead before you went to Messrs. Rubicon& Moore''s?
34945Your corporation fight with you, of course?
34945Your friends?
34945Your health?
34945Your work?
34945A week, at most, the doctor had given him, and after that-- what?
34945About half- past four?"
34945And you, Rowan?"
34945Anything more I can tell you?"
34945Are you thinking of trying to see him, Deane?"
34945Besides,"she continued, a little mockingly,"you yourself are supposed to be something exceptional in the way of grooming, are n''t you?
34945But as it is,"she added,"you can not misunderstand me any longer, can you?"
34945But what I should like to know is, where is this wonderful title- deed?"
34945By the bye, do you care to go to the Opera to- night?
34945By the bye, has anyone representing the dead man turned up at all-- I mean has anyone claimed his effects?"
34945By the bye, have you any instructions with regard to letters?"
34945By the way, how old are you, Deane?"
34945By whom?
34945CHAPTER VII LOVE OR INTEREST?
34945CONTENTS BOOK ONE I A LIFE FOR SALE II THE PURCHASE III A FAMILY AFFAIR IV A MURDER V A DEBT INCURRED VI AN IMPERIOUS DEMAND VII LOVE OR INTEREST?
34945Ca n''t you help me?"
34945Ca n''t you see that Rowan killed your uncle and stole that deed to save Stirling Deane from ruin,--at his bidding, as his accomplice?"
34945Ca n''t you understand what this means to me?"
34945Ca n''t you understand?
34945Can you tell me the laws by which life is ruled, can you find them anywhere, at the base of any man''s success or another''s failure?
34945Deane was a little surprised, but after all what did it matter?
34945Deane?"
34945Deane?"
34945Deane?"
34945Did you ever hear anything of the history of the Little Anna Gold- Mine, Rowan?"
34945Do n''t think that I am complaining,"she continued,"but in all our recent communications the personal note has not been very strongly marked, has it?
34945Do n''t you really understand?"
34945Do n''t you think that I should be better employed in thinking over an impending crisis than in listening to an exceedingly dull play?"
34945Do n''t you think that you could take an hour or so off, and come down with us?
34945Do n''t you understand?
34945Do you feel well enough to get back, or will you come on with me?"
34945Do you mean that you would be willing to undertake a commission which you would certainly find unpleasant, and perhaps dangerous?"
34945Do you prefer mother- of- pearl fittings, or gold?"
34945Do you realize that we are all starving?
34945Do you realize your responsibility in this matter?
34945Do you think that it was for the sake of the twenty pounds or so that he had on him, and which were found untouched?
34945Do you think that the truth wo n''t come to light?
34945Do you think there is any chance for me?"
34945Does it say whether the unfortunate man,"he continued,"was possessed of any means?"
34945Finally,"This is a little hard on me, is n''t it, sir?
34945Had anyone ever been confronted with a position so unique?
34945Had he anything to say?"
34945Has he been hanged?"
34945Have you ever been to King''s Lynn?"
34945How are we to enjoy our luncheon if we think of that poor man?"
34945How can I help you?"
34945How can it concern me?
34945How dared you leave me like that?"
34945How do you think the story will look in the newspapers, eh?
34945How far into his life had she come?
34945How much money shall I lend you?
34945How much of blame, after all, was his?
34945How much of your affection, Olive, came out to the man, and how much to the millionaire?"
34945How much was he to admit?
34945I adore hot lobster, do n''t you, Julia?"
34945I mean do you really care in the great fashion, you know, like the people one reads of,--like Iseult, and Amy Robsart, and those others?"
34945I suppose you do n''t read the papers?"
34945I suppose you''d have no objection to bettering yourself in life?"
34945I suppose, however prosperous you are, you never have a day without a certain amount of anxiety?"
34945I wonder whether you have noticed the details of a very sordid murder that was committed in a London hotel a short time ago?"
34945I would n''t mind betting that that deed has been burnt to ashes, but even then, I know a little too much, eh?"
34945If the paper is of no value, why did she steal it, why did she carry it sewn in her clothes?
34945In that case, would n''t you be rather badly hit?"
34945Is it the office?"
34945Is n''t that a crime?
34945Is n''t that what you were thinking?
34945Is n''t there enough for both of us?
34945It does n''t matter, does it?"
34945May I ask, Mr. Deane, what you believe the probabilities are as regards this matter?"
34945Miss Sinclair, is this man your companion?
34945Murdered, was he?
34945My brother is waiting, and he is very ill. Will you come with me now, or will you follow as soon as you can?"
34945Or had she some other reason?
34945Perhaps his question had been a clumsy one, or was Hardaway already suspicious?
34945Perhaps you could give it up partially, and keep a few directorships, or something of that sort?"
34945Sarsby?"
34945Shall we go in, Olive?"
34945She''s no gossip, are you, Winifred?"
34945Supposing it turns up in somebody else''s hands?"
34945Tell me how I seem to you?"
34945Tell me some more about him?"
34945Tell me what I can do?
34945Tell me what your income is-- about, Stirling?"
34945Tell me, do you think that we can persuade your mother to come out to supper?"
34945Tell me, have you eaten anything to- day?"
34945Tell me, if it were not inevitable, if you were not engaged to me at this moment, Stirling, would you ask me again?"
34945Tell me, what are you all going to do this afternoon?"
34945Tell me, what can there be about this money- making so engrossing that you carry it about with you after you have finished your work, like a shadow?"
34945Tell me, what has father been talking to you about?"
34945Tell me, when Sinclair came to you first had he really any papers at all which were likely to cause you embarrassment?"
34945Tell me, why all this questioning?"
34945Tell me,"he went on,"how do things stand now?
34945The girl remembered that he was a stranger to her, but after all, what did it matter?
34945Then for the first time she looked at him with a gleam of interest, and asked,"Do you come from South Africa?"
34945There is no one,"she asked, in a lower tone, looking nervously around,"who could possibly overhear us?"
34945Try and believe that, will you?"
34945Was he getting sentimental?
34945Was it a messenger at last, coming to bring him his fate?
34945Was it any responsibility of his that the man who had listened had gone further-- had chosen to gamble instead with life and death?
34945Was it anything of a relief to you?"
34945Was it his fancy, he wondered, or did her lips curl for a moment in something like mockery?
34945Was it his fancy, or was there indeed a shadow there greater than the responsibilities of his position might warrant?
34945Was it ominous that she should pass away without a backward glance?
34945Was it only for that that the girl was waiting?
34945Was it possible, now that her brother had gone, that she would speak?
34945Was it the same now?
34945Was she indeed ingrate-- ready to abandon her strange bargain at the first whisper of disaster?
34945Was she indeed nothing but an adventuress, deprived of her prey?...
34945Was there any compromise, he asked himself,--any possible compromise?
34945Well?"
34945What are you that he was not?
34945What can I do for you?
34945What can this person do to save his life?
34945What can you do here in the wilderness?
34945What did it matter, after all, this kingship of the cities, with their lack of perspective, their crowded hours, their strange, artificial atmosphere?
34945What did it mean to him, this engagement?
34945What does he mean by speaking in such a tone to a dying man?"
34945What does this mean?
34945What else can I do for you?"
34945What is it, I wonder, that keeps some men down while others climb?"
34945What place did she hold in his heart?
34945What sort of a woman would she be, or girl, or child?
34945What was he to say or do?
34945What was the motive?
34945What was the value of that, even,--of all his wealth,--compared to the great primeval facts of life?
34945What you want to realize is that Basil Rowan has been found guilty, and that he will be hanged within a fortnight, unless--""Unless what?"
34945What''s happened to Rowan?
34945Where do you live, Winifred?"
34945Where''s the money?
34945Who are these people?
34945Who can tell why?
34945Who has possession of the paper?"
34945Who is this man Rowan who killed my uncle?"
34945Who said it was anything else?"
34945Who was at the back of Rowan?
34945Whose tool was he?
34945Why could n''t I get this paper for you?"
34945Why do n''t you retire, and buy an estate?"
34945Why do they not tell him so at once?
34945Why should n''t I?
34945Why should we fight?"
34945Why?
34945Why?"
34945Will it come to anything, do you think?"
34945Will that do?"
34945Will you call for me?"
34945Will you come with me, my lord?"
34945Will you take a chair, and tell me in as few words as you can what you want?"
34945Will you tell Miss Rowan that I am here?"
34945Wo n''t you rouse yourself and give me your further orders?"
34945Would you mind going away now, please?"
34945You are aware of what happened?"
34945You are going to play golf, of course?"
34945You are not going to give me the affairs of the Incorporated Gold- Mines Association to look after, I suppose?"
34945You do n''t doubt that there''s money in this for us?"
34945You do n''t feel, do you, as though the sun had ceased to shine, or the world to move, because there is a chance that you may lose me?"
34945You do n''t think that he would change his mind?"
34945You have been lunching with my father?"
34945You have some money, have you not?"
34945You know something about the world in which the men marry for position and the women for money, do n''t you?
34945You know the lawyers who defended him?"
34945You remember meeting me in that room in the Universal Hotel?"
34945You remember the subject of our conversation the other night at the theatre?
34945You see the door opposite you?"
34945You think that I should have made a scene there?
34945You understand that?"
34945You understand what I have told you?"
34945You understand?"
34945You will come, though?"
34945You will remember that?"
34945You wo n''t forget to come in and see me for half- an- hour before we go on to the ball?
34945You would n''t do anything like that, would you?"
34945Your brother sent you here to tell me this?"
34945Your lawyer is like your confessor, is n''t he-- your lawyer and your doctor?"
34945[ Illustration:"There was some matter which you wished to discuss, then?"
34945she asked,--"thought about those poor people, for instance, who have to live in a corner of the world like this, always?
36079Ah,she said,"but the riddle is n''t solved yet, Mr. Baynton, is it?"
36079And Pavely?
36079And are you finding all the money?
36079And have you never regretted that you did not carry out that purpose?
36079And is nothing of that sort possible here?
36079And then, mother?
36079And without seeing Laura again? 36079 And you----?"
36079And, mother--?
36079Any news?
36079Are you her confidante?
36079Are you tired? 36079 Aunt Letty?
36079Aunt Letty? 36079 But it''s true that you are Godfrey''s friend?"
36079But she met Pavely here?
36079But supposing he and Godfrey do meet?
36079But where does Tropenell come in?
36079Ca n''t we go off, we two old folk, to your little room, my dearest? 36079 Can you keep a secret?"
36079Can you read French?
36079Can you say that quite truly about his mother?
36079Could you let me have that two hundred pounds this afternoon?
36079D''you mean that you''ve run Fernando Apra to earth?
36079D''you mean the big money- lender?
36079D''you mean you''d really give me two hundred pounds_ now_?
36079Did Godfrey come back last evening after all?
36079Did he go from a French port?
36079Did it indeed?
36079Did_ you_ make the marriage, mother? 36079 Different?"
36079Do n''t you? 36079 Do they throw any light on the mystery?"
36079Do you ever think of that possibility?
36079Do you feel ill, my darling? 36079 Do you know Sir Angus Kinross?"
36079Do you like Jim Beath?
36079Do you really mean that, Laura? 36079 Do you really think she''s to be pitied, mother?"
36079Do you really think that, Oliver?
36079Do you think we shall find anything?
36079Do you, Oliver-- do you? 36079 Do you?"
36079Does he live quite alone?
36079Does n''t Mr. Privet know where he is?
36079Does that mean that you''ve forgiven me?
36079From something Godfrey said the other day I gather that he''s really grateful to you, Oliver?
36079Gilbert Baynton-- very much at your service----?
36079Had n''t I better call out to him? 36079 Had your journey to London,"he asked slowly,"anything to do with my affairs?
36079Has Laura told you this?
36079Has anything gone wrong, Godfrey?
36079Has he indeed?
36079Has it ever occurred to you,he said suddenly,"that Pavely may be dead, mother?"
36079Have I, Katty? 36079 Have I?"
36079Have they indeed?
36079Have you actually got the man here, in England? 36079 Have you any reason to suppose that Godfrey Pavely was really associated in business with this mysterious man?"
36079Have you got a copy of the letter?
36079Have you proof-- irrefutable proof-- pointing to the guilt of Oliver Tropenell?
36079Have you seen Laura?
36079Have you sent your letter off?
36079How can we keep Laura''s name out of our discussion? 36079 How far off does he live from here?"
36079How long d''you expect to be in France?
36079How long, mother?
36079How much too poor?
36079How so, Laura? 36079 I do n''t know what you expect me to say?
36079I expect that it was you who answered the telephone message I sent half an hour ago, eh?
36079I felt this so strongly that the thought did actually flash across me more than once--''Is this man engaged in establishing an alibi?'' 36079 I gather that he and Tropenell do n''t quite hit it off?"
36079I gather you still see him very often when he''s at Knowlton Abbey?
36079I hope Gillie has n''t been getting into any scrape since you''ve come home?
36079I quite understand-- you mean that it all began again?
36079I see,he said lightly,"you were away yourself, and probably moving about?"
36079I should have thought telephone calls quite as important as telegrams?
36079I suppose Gillie still hates Godfrey?
36079I suppose he was much the same then as later, or-- or was he different then, mother?
36079I suppose the real reason he came to- day was that he''s afraid to let a stranger be Laura''s trustee?
36079I suppose we shall meet some time to- morrow?
36079I suppose,he said slowly,"that Laura is like her?"
36079I suppose,he said,"that Laura knew very little of your friendship with poor Godfrey Pavely?"
36079I think,she said boldly,"that that_ is_ Mr. Greville Howard?"
36079I thought you meant to stay in England right up to Christmas?
36079I wonder if you would be so kind as to grant me a short interview? 36079 I wonder if you''re right, mother?"
36079I wonder what he''s going to talk to you about?
36079I wonder--Laura grew a little pink--"I wonder,"she said again,"if you know on what business Godfrey went up to town?
36079I write to know if you will allow Laura to come up to town with me for a few days? 36079 I''ve always liked playing for high stakes-- you know that, eh?"
36079I''ve really come to ask if you know where Godfrey is? 36079 If there''s anything you really want to say-- you said you had a hundred things to tell me-- would you like me to come back for a few minutes?
36079If_ I_ forget, will_ you_?
36079Is Gillie very upset? 36079 Is Laura willing to spend a part of every year in Mexico, my dearest?"
36079Is it likely? 36079 Is that you, Privet?
36079Is there an answer?
36079Laura wholly satisfies you?
36079Laura''s child?
36079Laura? 36079 Laura?"
36079Laura?
36079Laura?
36079Lonely?
36079Look here,he said earnestly,"I''m sure you do n''t wish to go straight back to poor Laura Pavely?
36079May I tell my mother?
36079Mother, may I come in?
36079Mother,he said slowly,"I want to ask you a question.... How long in England does an unloving widow mourn?"
36079Mother? 36079 Mother?"
36079Mother?
36079Mother?
36079Mother?
36079Mrs. Winslow? 36079 Murder?"
36079My dear,she said painfully,"what do you mean exactly?
36079Not even if I made it worth his while?
36079Oh, Katty, do n''t you think that would make him very angry-- if he''s all right, I mean?
36079Oh, then you have n''t been into Laura''s boudoir?
36079Oliver?
36079Oliver?
36079Perhaps Laura and little Alice will come back with you to tea? 36079 Perhaps you will be so kind as to make the tea?"
36079Poor devil? 36079 Scotland Yard?
36079Shall I come with you, my darling?
36079Shall I wire to Oliver Tropenell that we are coming?
36079Still, I''m not bound to give my theory to either side, am I? 36079 Sure?
36079Surely one would have expected her to be glad that the suspense was over? 36079 Surely the reward has lapsed now?
36079Surely you can stay for a few minutes? 36079 Surely you would n''t be so unkind----?"
36079Then I''m to put off all Mr. Pavely''s appointments for to- day?
36079Then Mrs. Winslow was Pavely''s rather than Mrs. Pavely''s friend?
36079Then do you regard response as essential in every relationship between a man and a woman?
36079Then in my place you would do nothing?
36079Then there''s no cutting the Gordian knot?
36079Then you would n''t tell anybody here?
36079Time stood still with Godfrey too, eh?
36079To Oliver?
36079To return to Laura-- what should have been_ her_ fate had the gods been kind?
36079Tools?
36079Two men?
36079Was it? 36079 Well,"she said stonily,"what are you going to do about it?
36079Well? 36079 What I mean is that Laura----"Tropenell stopped him with a passionate gesture:"Can not we keep Laura''s name out of our discussion?"
36079What d''you mean exactly, mother, by different ideals of life?
36079What do you mean, mother? 36079 What is irrefutable proof?
36079What is it you wish to say, Laura?
36079What is your theory?
36079What led to the marriage of Laura Baynton and Godfrey Pavely? 36079 What makes you think that?"
36079What part does my fine brother- in- law play? 36079 What sort of an investment exactly is it?"
36079What was the message exactly?
36079What would you say, Lord St. Amant, if you and I were to go up there now, to Duke House-- accompanied, of course, by two of my men? 36079 What you nearly did then, Laura?"
36079What''s his name?
36079When was he here last?
36079Who was it telephoned just now?
36079Who''s there?
36079Why a disappointment, Laura? 36079 Why are you so sure of that?"
36079Why is it that Laura is so much fonder of you than you are of Laura? 36079 Why should n''t he?
36079Why should n''t we go in and ask Katty to come to tea?
36079Why should n''t you come up to lunch, Katty? 36079 Why that?"
36079Why, what''s the matter?
36079Why?
36079Will it be all your money and_ my_ thousand pounds, Godfrey? 36079 Will that cost you seventeen thousand pounds?"
36079Will you be in to- morrow?
36079Will you come over to tea?
36079Will you go down to him, Laura? 36079 Will you go through the house into the garden?
36079Yes, Godfrey? 36079 Yes, I quite understand that Laura would never do anything she thought wrong-- queer, is n''t it?"
36079Yes, Lord St. Amant-- what is it you suppose?
36079Yes, of course I did-- you mean about Mr. Apra here? 36079 Yes,"he said, in a low voice,"the same-- but nicer, do n''t you think so, Alice?"
36079Yes-- queer, is n''t it? 36079 Yes--"Why should n''t she unburden her heart for once?
36079Yes?
36079Yes?
36079You are very happy, are you not, Oliver?
36079You cared for Laura''s mother as if she had been your sister-- didn''t you, mother? 36079 You come too-- to Mexico?"
36079You do n''t feel it cold?
36079You do n''t mean with Gillie there?
36079You do n''t mind, do you?
36079You do n''t really mean that you want to go away, Katty? 36079 You do n''t remember me?"
36079You got my cable?
36079You know all about the Beath affair?
36079You mean Katty Winslow? 36079 You mean the great money- lender?"
36079You never had any money dealings with him, had you, Katty? 36079 You were n''t serious, were you?"
36079You? 36079 _ And if Godfrey died, mother?_"Mrs. Tropenell felt a little tremor of fear shoot through her burdened heart.
36079_ Then?_he cried.
36079*****"Aunt Letty?
3607918?
36079A friend?
36079A long time ago?
36079A queer chap?
36079After a pleasant journey together, as they were steaming into York station Godfrey suddenly asked:"Must you go on to your friends at once?
36079All at once Oliver turned and said so suddenly that she, walking by his side, started:"Laura?
36079Am I the first man that has committed murder,"he waited a moment--"in his heart?"
36079Am I to have all the profit, and you all the risk?"
36079Am I to understand that this suggestion has your approval?
36079And Godfrey?
36079And Godfrey?"
36079And Katty?
36079And Laura?
36079And Laura?
36079And Oliver, with"I do n''t think he''ll keep me long, mother; I suppose you''ll still be here when I come back?"
36079And as Oliver made no answer, she went on a trifle maliciously:"I suppose you will be going off soon, too?"
36079And he had said,"Ca n''t I?
36079And he wondered uneasily if he had given her any cause for thinking, from his appearance or his manner, that there was anything wrong?
36079And she forced herself to add:"Perhaps you''ll be coming over this afternoon?"
36079And then Katty cut in:"You''ll let me know, Laura, wo n''t you, if you have any special news?
36079And then Oliver said, in a low, moved voice,"I''m afraid that this last business has made you very unhappy, Laura?"
36079And then he asked anxiously,"D''you see any objection to my telephoning to Messrs. Drew& Co.--they''re the agents, you know?
36079And then he began, with no preamble:"I want to know if you really meant what you said last night about letting this house furnished for a year?
36079And then rather suddenly, Laura asked a question:"How long is Oliver going to stay in England, Aunt Letty?"
36079And then, looking straight down into her troubled face, he asked:"Mother?
36079And then, when Laura had taken it out of her bag, she asked,"Where''s the envelope?
36079And then,"Tropenell?
36079And what are_ you_ thinking of doing, my dear?"
36079And what exactly did she mean by saying that it was her request, not Laura''s?
36079And yet?
36079And yet?
36079And, Privet?"
36079And, having gone away for so long, why had he now come back?
36079Are you going to accept Lord St. Amant''s invitation?"
36079As they were going up, he said kindly,"Are you sure you are wise in doing this?
36079At last he answered, very deliberately,"Is Godfrey away then?"
36079Baynton?"
36079Baynton?"
36079But I do n''t see what call you have to ask me all these questions?"
36079But Oliver, her beloved, the only human being in the world that really mattered to her-- what was wrong with him?
36079But Pavely and he seem to be in a kind of secret partnership-- queer is n''t it?
36079But all he said was:"Would you like to go back to my rooms for an hour or two?
36079But he said slowly:"May I enquire your name, madam?"
36079But how could they be friends if-- if it was true that Oliver loved her?
36079But how on earth had he learnt all that?
36079But now Laura asked, with some eagerness,"And Gillie?
36079But now, all at once, her son had opened a dark window into his soul-- or was it into his heart?
36079But now?
36079But one never can tell-- with a woman.... And what was going to happen now?
36079But was there any hope of such a thing coming to pass?
36079But what made these French bankers pick_ you_ out, Godfrey?
36079But what was he saying-- this challenging, wrathful stranger who, but a few moments ago, had been her dear, dear friend?
36079But, mother?
36079CHAPTER XV"Well, my dear-- any more news?"
36079Ca n''t you remember anything about it?
36079Could n''t you telephone to them to meet you by a later train?
36079Could she-- should she believe what this man said?
36079D''you want to go in yet, mother?"
36079Did Sir Angus Kinross send for you?"
36079Did it not occur to you to let the London police know of Mr. Pavely''s non- appearance?"
36079Did n''t I see a letter written to her by Mr. Godfrey Pavely?
36079Did you really advise her to take that fellow?"
36079Do n''t you see there must have been a postmark on the envelope?
36079Do n''t you think the time has come for two such old friends as you and I have been never to part?
36079Do you call_ that_ a marriage?"
36079Do you know what-- what response means to a man?"
36079Do you realise that?"
36079Do you recognise that as being the body of Godfrey Pavely?"
36079Do you remember this time last year?"
36079Does proper Godfrey know?
36079Does that give you enough time?"
36079Does that mean you wish that I should give up coming to The Chase?"
36079Doing some planting?"
36079Following a sudden impulse, she, who had trained herself to do so few things on impulse, called out,"Is that you, my darling?"
36079Gilbert Baynton--_Laura Pavely''s brother_?
36079Gillie Baynton?
36079Gillie?
36079Godfrey is an unhappy man, Oliver-- come, admit that you know that?"
36079Godfrey-- dead?
36079Good?
36079Had Laura flushed, as she sometimes did flush, with a deep, unbecoming reddening of her pale face, when moved or startled?
36079Had n''t I better say you''re here?"
36079Half ashamedly she asked herself why they should not all three go back to the happy conditions which had lasted all the summer?
36079Hanging her head as a child might have done, she said defiantly:"I suppose you''re surprised?"
36079Has Oliver Tropenell seen you?
36079Has he got into any trouble?"
36079Have the Standens asked you to go abroad again-- not for a whole year, surely?"
36079Have you done anything, Laura?"
36079Have you ever heard of Greville Howard?"
36079Have you heard anything?
36079Have you news of Godfrey?"
36079Have you only just come?
36079He added abruptly,"Are you having him watched?"
36079He added:"Are you aware that the reward has just been withdrawn?"
36079He answered quietly,"I wonder why you feel so sure of that?
36079He declared he could n''t make any one hear at the back, and so he came round to the front door-- rather impudent of him, eh?"
36079He stopped short for a moment, then in a very low voice, he asked her,"Is there no way of cutting it through, mother?"
36079He ventured a question:"And the contents of the envelope?"
36079He waited a few moments, then said slowly,"I''ve been wondering whether you would mind going up with Laura to London for a few days?
36079He''s a rather queer fish, is n''t he, Godfrey?"
36079Her brother, her dear, dear Gillie, coming home?
36079Her lips formed the words:"Then-- they''ve found him?"
36079How was all this to end?
36079Howard?"
36079I expect Tropenell told you that I was thinking of coming to Europe?
36079I had meant to linger on here yet another month or six weeks, but now I ask myself each hour of the day and night-- why wait?
36079I may tell you that I did my best to dissuade her from offering the reward when she first made up her mind to do so-- you will remember when I mean?"
36079I presume you would like to be present?"
36079I suppose in a way I_ am_ inhuman?"
36079I suppose it''s the work of some clerk whom you''ve dismissed in the last few weeks?"
36079I suppose you know that he and I had a row years ago?"
36079I suppose you''re staying with Laura, at The Chase?"
36079I take it that he was on more confidential terms with this lady than he was with his own wife?"
36079I take it that we can be quite sure that he will do nothing mad or foolish-- that he will not try to get away, for instance?
36079I think I told you that over the telephone?
36079I think the porter is sure to have a key which will admit you into his room-- I understand you want to get into his office?"
36079I think you were mentioned at the inquest, Mrs. Winslow?
36079I wonder if you would do me the great pleasure of being there, Laura?
36079I''m sure you''ve something you want to show me there, or consult me about?"
36079If so, I suppose poor Mrs. Pavely is bound to have a certain amount of fresh trouble in connection with the affair?"
36079In that case I suppose we shall get all the profits?"
36079Instinctively he addressed himself to Sir Angus Kinross:"About this tenant of ours-- Mr. Fernando Apra?
36079Is he much disappointed?"
36079Is he still abroad?"
36079Is priggish Godfrey jealous?"
36079It is Miss Fenton, is n''t it?"
36079It''s all right is n''t it, Katty?
36079Katty Winslow acting the part of amateur detective?
36079Katty heard Oliver Tropenell say in a low voice:"May I walk with you?"
36079Katty uttered an inarticulate exclamation-- was it of surprise or of satisfaction?
36079Katty, after all, was not Godfrey''s wife, or-- or was it widow?
36079Later on, Mr. Privet, when he thought the interview over, could almost hear the voice of Sir Angus repeating slowly, inexorably:"Thursday?
36079Laura and Oliver Tropenell?
36079Laura and Oliver?
36079Laura turned to the servant:"Did Mr. Pavely give you any message to send on to the Bank?"
36079Laura?
36079Laura?
36079Laura?
36079Lifting up her head, she said rather plaintively,"Surely you would n''t mind my coming too, Oliver?"
36079May I come in?"
36079May I come to- morrow morning?"
36079Moving a little nearer to the low chair on which she was sitting--"Yes?"
36079Mrs. Winslow had again been away, was it for four days, or five?
36079My answer to that is-- why should n''t they be?
36079Oh, of course I know you are telling me the truth as you see it now-- but, but surely, mother?"
36079Oliver muttered something-- was it,"I''d give my soul to know it true"?
36079Oliver was not the man to hang up his hat in another man''s house-- besides, why should he do so?
36079Pavely?"
36079Pavely?"
36079Perhaps I can slip away quietly?"
36079Perhaps you''d like to come back with him, and stay on for dinner?"
36079Perhaps you''ll be bored too?
36079Privet?"
36079Shall I send over now?"
36079She asked herself if this exalted passion could last, and whether, after all, Oliver were not happier now than he could ever hope to be again?
36079She broke in gently,"To be met with this awful news, Oliver?"
36079She heard Oliver exclaim, in accents at once imploring and imperious:"Laura?
36079She opened a door which gave out of the hall on the left, and called out,"Harber?
36079She said nervously,"Wo n''t you finish your breakfast?"
36079She was grateful for the darkness, but her trembling voice betrayed her as she exclaimed,"Oliver?
36079Should he say anything to Mrs. Tropenell, or well, yes-- to Laura?
36079Should she burn these too-- or keep them?
36079Should she go straight up to town and tell Sir Angus Kinross of what had happened to her yesterday?
36079Sir Angus went on:"D''you remember something I told you concerning Mr. Pavely''s day at York?
36079So all she said, in a voice which sounded very cold to herself, was,"But that, Oliver, would surely not be fair-- to you?"
36079Suddenly he muttered,"Mother?
36079Suddenly she heard uttered in the corridor, outside the door, the eager words,"Is Mrs. Pavely there?
36079Surely Oliver Tropenell was not masquerading as Fernando Apra?"
36079Surely Oliver was going to be-- reasonable?
36079Surely he and Oliver Tropenell, at last alone together, could combine to put an end to this foolish, vulgar gossip?
36079Surely she was the first woman he had ever loved?
36079Surely you know that well enough, Tropenell?
36079The Scotland Yard man bent forward and said something in a low voice, and the porter exclaimed, with an air of astonishment,"What?
36079Then Oliver asked another question, quickly, in a matter- of- fact tone:"How many hours have I left?"
36079Then Oliver was coming home earlier than Laura had thought he would?
36079Then he asked in a lower voice,"Have you said anything to her?"
36079Then he had been at The Chase yesterday?
36079Then he turned abruptly to Laura:"How about to- morrow?
36079Then, after a minute''s pause:"Do you think Laura would mind much?"
36079Then,"I suppose I''d better go away now?
36079Then,"I suppose you''ve consented to act?"
36079They looked at one another like two augurs, and he said under his breath,"Well, it''s a pretty kettle of fish I''ve come home to, eh?
36079They were not in such a light mood to- night, and yet-- and yet, why should they not be?
36079Though it''s early for tea, perhaps you''ll stay and have a cup with me?
36079Tropenell turned on him sternly:"What sort of thing?"
36079Tropenell?"
36079Two miles and a bit?
36079Vengeance?
36079Was Laura absolutely innocent?
36079Was Laura as blind to the truth as she seemed to be, or was she shamming-- as women, God or the devil helping them-- so often sham?
36079Was Laura associated with this extraordinary, bewildering discovery of hers?
36079Was Mrs. Winslow going to bring in Oliver Tropenell?
36079Was he going to say"Oliver Tropenell"?
36079Was it because he was afraid of giving himself away to his coarse- minded, jovial partner?
36079Was it her fault that Oliver Tropenell had come so to despise Godfrey?
36079Was it possible that of late Laura was deliberately avoiding her?
36079Was it possible, conceivable, that Katty was thinking of Jim Beath as a second husband for herself?
36079Was it true, as some of the gossips said, that he had remained a widower for that same friend''s sake?
36079Was pretty little Katty a widow?
36079Was that what he said, in a very low, tense voice?
36079We were engaged in beating up the next field, when some one said,''Where is Tropenell?''
36079Well, little girl?
36079What could she be coming to say?
36079What d''you take me for?
36079What did her new knowledge portend?
36079What did it lead to?
36079What did this wonderful old man mean?
36079What do_ you_ think has happened to Godfrey Pavely?"
36079What exactly was her position in the Pavely_ mà © nage_?"
36079What had been his and Laura''s real attitude to one another during Godfrey Pavely''s lifetime?
36079What is it?
36079What is the message?"
36079What name-- whose name-- was Sir Angus going to utter?
36079What right had you to think me different from other men?"
36079What was it she was going to tell him?
36079What was it she was going to tell him?
36079What was it that Oliver answered then?
36079What was the handwriting like?"
36079What were their real relations the one to the other?
36079What would happen to the country if all the married people who did n''t get on with one another were to separate?"
36079What would you do?
36079What''s happened to Gillie?
36079Whatever is the matter?
36079Where is your hand?"
36079Where would you go to?
36079Who could it be?
36079Who would have thought that she would ever like any man as much as she seems to like him?
36079Why could n''t she be content to stay quietly at Rosedean?
36079Why did n''t she move away and talk to Oliver?
36079Why did n''t you wire?"
36079Why did she stick close like that to Letty-- to Letty, with whom he had hoped to spend a quiet, cosy, cheerful evening?
36079Why had he gone away just when things were looking promising?
36079Why not telephone through and say you''ve been delayed,--that you ca n''t be at the Bank till eleven?"
36079Why should I be hypocritical-- with you?
36079Why should I be?
36079Why should Laura, or any one else in that great house for the matter of that, wish to be awakened on a winter''s morning at such an hour?
36079Why should n''t he take you and Alice to France or Italy for a month?"
36079Why should n''t she?
36079Why should n''t they both go on to Freshley?
36079Why should n''t you say anything you like about these people?
36079Why should you?
36079Why, Laura?"
36079Why, it must be, let me see, quite twelve years ago?"
36079Will you come too, Alice?"
36079Will you see that I''m not disturbed till I ring?"
36079Winslow?"
36079Winslow?"
36079With as little or as much reason?
36079Would he go straight upstairs-- as she, in her stormy, passionate youth, would have done in his place?
36079Would you care for a good long walk, eh?
36079Would you care to come into the garden for a few minutes?"
36079Would you not have it in your power to_ prevent_ her continuing this reward?"
36079Yet her voice faltered in spite of herself, as she said,"Had n''t we better ride round?
36079Yet surely, surely she had nothing to reproach herself with in the matter of Oliver Tropenell?
36079You and Godfrey have nothing in common between you, and that being so, I suppose there''s nothing to be done?"
36079You ca n''t be treacherous to a person who does n''t care, can you?
36079You do n''t mean to say the gentleman''s''wanted''?"
36079You do n''t respect-- or even like-- Godfrey?"
36079You feel quite sure about this thing, Baynton?
36079You wo n''t talk again of going away?"
36079You''re Oliver Tropenell''s partner, are n''t you, Mr. Baynton?
36079You''re sure?
36079You''ve been away nearly a fortnight, have n''t you?"
36079and she nearly added,"Do n''t_ you_ find it so?"
36079he exclaimed,"and you''ve got a fire?
36079he exclaimed,"is n''t all this rather-- well, highfaluting rot?
36079he said to himself, but aloud he observed kindly:"I presume Mr. Pavely wrote to you during the early days of his stay in London?"
36247A fool?
36247A what?
36247Am I not right?
36247And Broderick?
36247And I''ll find you waiting for me?
36247And Laurie-- how is he?
36247And Mr. Murgatroyd sanctions such methods-- will use us for evidence-- make a case by us?
36247And have I failed as yet?
36247And how did he get out there on the street?
36247And if you do n''t win?
36247And loan him a few thousand dollars to start the job?
36247And so at the last he has no friends?
36247And that''s all you have?
36247And then?
36247And then?
36247And what did you do with mine?
36247And who has got to do?
36247And will you forgive the foolish lips that told you to go wrong?
36247And you are asking me to go on a hundred- thousand- dollar bond for your husband?
36247And you tried to bribe Murgatroyd with twenty thousand dollars?
36247And you want me to help you?
36247And you-- what are you doing here?
36247Are n''t you going to join the family circle, Laurie?
36247Are n''t you going to marry me, Shirley?
36247Are you James Lawrence Challoner?
36247At Gravesend?
36247At the death?
36247Bribery?
36247Broderick,he said severely,"do you know that I''ve got you implicated in more than thirty different violations of the law right here in town?"
36247Broderick,said Murgatroyd, looking him in the eye,"you mean business-- you''re going to back me straight?"
36247But ca n''t you delay the trial-- get him off in some way-- some time? 36247 But how about him?"
36247But that''s mortgaged, I understand?
36247But the people-- the people believe in me?
36247But there''s the Court order?
36247But what about the_ wall_?
36247But what was I discharged for?
36247But where''s your manners, Foster?
36247But why did you come?
36247But why?
36247But you know where she went?
36247But, Shirley,interposed Murgatroyd,"ca n''t you see that the man who stands up for a principle can not fail?"
36247But-- you do n''t want money?
36247But-- you want to, do n''t you?
36247Can the girl who must have money make a poor man happy, much as she may love him? 36247 Can you guess what that something was that always made me keep my hands off those iron boxes?"
36247Can you stand it, dear?
36247Challoner,said Murgatroyd severely,"remember that I am not here as your friend-- I am the prosecutor, do you hear?"
36247Come, come,they said,"what''s your game?
36247Concrete?
36247Could he have anything to do-- with the case?
36247Did it require so very-- much courage?
36247Do n''t you hear the newsboys? 36247 Do n''t you hear voices below?
36247Do you know why it may be possible for him to get the nomination for senator? 36247 Do you mean this, Murgatroyd?"
36247Do you mean to tell me, that though you know now that you did n''t kill Hargraves-- that you do n''t know who_ did_ kill him?
36247Do you recognise that?
36247Do you see this?
36247Do you suppose I''d miss being in at the death?
36247Do you think that I do n''t know it''s a crisis?
36247Do you, indeed?
36247Does anybody know?
36247Does it cost anything?
36247Dollars?
36247Evidently Miss Bloodgood does n''t know what graft awaits me in Washington?
36247Five chambers loaded?
36247For three days you have been away-- where have you been?
36247Frauds? 36247 Gentlemen of the jury, your verdict is guilty of murder in the first degree, and so say all of you?"
36247Gentlemen of the jury,said the clerk rapidly,"have you agreed upon your verdict?"
36247Guilty of what?
36247Hargraves murder?
36247Hargraves,he began with sinister familiarity,"you have ten thousand dollars in your pocket, I believe?"
36247Has he talked?
36247Has he?
36247Has she a key?
36247Have I ever been anythin''else?
36247Have n''t I ambition? 36247 Have you ever lain awake at night, Billy, ever curled up on a window- seat in the daytime and planned your future?"
36247Have you talked to Pemmican?
36247He told you that?
36247He understands that you''re counsel for Cradlebaugh''s-- see?
36247He''s been down to Gravesend for two days; and he''s back....Pemmican''s meaning was lost on Challoner, for he merely exclaimed:--"Well?"
36247How can I help it?
36247How can it be helped?
36247How did you come out?
36247How did you ever do it?
36247How do you know it wo n''t be uncomfortable for you as it is?
36247How long?
36247How much have you got left?
36247How much will that be?
36247How much would you take, Pemmican,he went on,"to swear that Challoner did not commit this crime?"
36247How much?...
36247How should we?
36247How''s the joint ballot?
36247How? 36247 How?"
36247Hundreds?
36247I did n''t know that you were a friend of the family?
36247I suppose you realise that this thing is going to kill Miriam Challoner?
36247I suppose, of course, that you have had the report that your husband has been found in Chicago?
36247I thought I heard the door- bell just now?
36247I took it? 36247 I want you to tell me where Letty is?"
36247I wonder if she''s alone?
36247I?
36247If I win,at last he said with great earnestness,"you will swear to leave me-- you will leave_ us_ alone?"
36247If Murgatroyd comes here,suggested Broderick,"or sends for you, you keep mum-- do you understand?
36247In addition to these,went on Murgatroyd,"you have your house on the Avenue?"
36247In all?
36247In on it?
36247In other words, you think we''re both in the same boat-- is that it?
36247Indeed? 36247 Is that you, Letty?"
36247Is the thing loaded?
36247Is there more comin''?
36247It is subject to mortgage, then?
36247It''s I, Miriam,she began;"and how are you, dear?"
36247Know it?
36247Laurie Challoner? 36247 Laurie,"insisted Miriam, quivering,"are you sure?"
36247Laurie,went on Murgatroyd, still probing, but not unkindly,"what are you going to do with all this money?"
36247Let me see,said Shirley, reminiscently,"his conviction was reversed on appeal, was n''t it?"
36247Look at this here figure on this here gun, will you, ma''am? 36247 Married?
36247Maybe you know the rest?
36247Me?
36247Miriam, what are you saying? 36247 Mr. Thorne,"said the Court,"if this charge be made in good faith, and even assuming it to be literally true, is n''t the prosecutor right?
36247Mrs. Challoner,the prosecutor asked, falling into his habit of putting finger- tip to finger- tip,"how much money have you?"
36247Murgatroyd is making a name for himself, is n''t he?
36247Murgatroyd,he cried fiercely, with an injured air,"what''s this?
36247Never told you? 36247 No, they''re out of sight-- almost....""Good news?
36247No; but have n''t you?
36247Nothing found?
36247Now just where did this thing happen?
36247Oh, Mr. Challoner,she cried, springing forward,"why did you tell him?"
36247Oh, Mrs. Challoner,then spoke up Foster,"what do you think?
36247Oh, that?
36247On the evidence they have,Shirley returned, trying to comfort her,"they''ll----""What''s that?"
36247Pemmican, suppose I were to fill this with, well, say ten thousand dollars and give it to you; how would you testify in this case, eh?
36247Pemmican,said Murgatroyd, all geniality and good- fellowship now,"how are they treating you?"
36247Pemmican?
36247Poor Laurie, tired, are n''t you, dear?
36247Rather like putting up something that does n''t belong to you, eh, Challoner?
36247Reversal?
36247Same, sir, I suppose?
36247Say you''ll forgive me, Laurie, dear?
36247See if he do n''t..."What if he does?
36247Seven and seven are fourteen,he mused,"and six are twenty, and eleven----""What have you got there?"
36247Shall I tell him?
36247Shirley, are n''t you hard on Murgatroyd? 36247 So I see,"he growled; and without more ado he turned to Miriam and demanded gruffly:--"Well, where''s your money?
36247So that''s how the land lies, is it? 36247 Sure of that, Billy?"
36247Surely you do n''t think Lawrence would steal?
36247Surely you''re not going to detain me any longer?
36247Surely, my dear, you''re not going?--What?--So soon?
36247The captain wants to know what he''s to do about this Hargraves murder?
36247The works?
36247Then I have n''t figured often in the limelight of your dreams?
36247Then come back, but do n''t leave me to- night-- you''ll stay, wo n''t you?
36247Then for who?
36247Then it_ is_ about this Challoner affair that you have come to see me?
36247Then it_ was_ pulled off in here?
36247Then why bother about my consent?
36247Thorne will spend and has spent a lot of money,answered Broderick;"and you''ve got to----""How much will it take?"
36247Thorne,he exclaimed, lounging back comfortably in a chair,"have you seen about this thing?
36247True that you have known all these years that I was innocent of murder?
36247Unbroken, are they not?
36247Very well, then; but there''s another thing that you may clear up.... By the way, Pemmican, perhaps you do n''t know that Challoner has confessed?
36247Want to see me?
36247Was Colonel Hargraves down there alone?
36247We helped him, eh?
36247Well, what of it?
36247Well, why do n''t the rest of you come in?
36247Well,blurted out the politician,"what are you going to do about it?"
36247Well?
36247What Hargraves?
36247What about?
36247What am I going to do? 36247 What are the proper concrete proportions?"
36247What are you doing?
36247What are you driving at, anyway?
36247What are you gettin''at?
36247What are you going to do?
36247What are you looking at?
36247What are_ we_ going to do about it?
36247What do you think I am?
36247What do you think, chief?
36247What do you want of me?
36247What evidence have you, I should like to know?
36247What for?
36247What have you been hiding from me for the past few weeks, Miriam?
36247What have you been putting away there every night for the last few weeks? 36247 What have you done so far?"
36247What have you left?
36247What have you to say to me?
36247What is in them?
36247What is it, Madam?
36247What is it, Shirley?
36247What is it? 36247 What is it?"
36247What kind of work?
36247What now, Thorne, what now?
36247What proofs have you?
36247What was our compact?
36247What''s Peter Broderick got to do with it?
36247What''s mine now?
36247What''s that?
36247What''s that?
36247What''s the matter with you?
36247What?
36247What?
36247What?
36247What?
36247What?
36247What?
36247When did all this happen, Mixley?
36247Where are these securities?
36247Where have you been all this time?
36247Where''s Pemmican?
36247Where?
36247Which one?
36247Who did it?
36247Who did this thing?
36247Who do you say shall answer for you?
36247Who the deuce is Pemmican?
36247Who was the keeper that took this down?
36247Who''ll present it?
36247Who''s saying all this? 36247 Why are n''t you more of a gentleman-- where''s your manners?
36247Why bless me, did n''t you know? 36247 Why did n''t you?"
36247Why did you refuse him?
36247Why do n''t you get your ammunition in the open, then?
36247Why do n''t you try Colonel Hargraves?
36247Why do you persist in refusing me?
36247Why not emulate Mr. Thorne and get both? 36247 Why not?"
36247Why, I thought you liked him, Shirley?
36247Why, where have you been that you have n''t seen the papers?
36247Will I ever be anythin''else?
36247Will you be very quiet and stay right where you are if I tell you?
36247Will you sign here, please?
36247With the other notables?
36247With the''ginneys''?
36247Witnesses is wary game and scarce; it ai n''t always the open season, so we got to keep''em in cold storage, see?
36247Wo n''t I answer?
36247Would you have me adopt his methods?
36247Yes, yes, of course we do,Miriam assured her,"but you do n''t want to stay, do you?"
36247Yes, yes,returned the girl,"but do n''t you think we had better warn him?
36247You accepted him?
36247You admire him?
36247You do n''t mean to tell me, prosecutor,he exclaimed,"that you''re going to prosecute me for these things?"
36247You do n''t understand,returned Challoner;"is it true, true----""True?"
36247You here?
36247You know it?
36247You left them outside, Stevens?
36247You may investigate it, if you like-- no?
36247You must leave him to us, ma''am,spoke up Mixley; and pointing to the far corner of the room, added:"Will you take that chair, there, please?
36247You want to take me into custody? 36247 You were a friend of his, were n''t you?"
36247You will search here first,he ordered; and turning to the women:"Would you prefer to go or stay?"
36247You would n''t give him any money? 36247 You''ve done as I instructed?
36247You? 36247 _ Who_ wo n''t go your bail?"
36247A woman with social ambitions loves a man with none; can she make him happy?
36247Affirmed-- affirmed,"she mused; and then suddenly leaned forward and inquired eagerly:--"Then how did he get off?"
36247After a little while Miriam put out a thin hand and let it rest in his, saying:--"How much do they give you, dear?"
36247After a moment she inquired:--"Do n''t you want me to stay?"
36247After all, you were honest, were n''t you?"
36247Again, will you marry me?"
36247Ai n''t we got too far?"
36247All right-- only let me sleep when I get there, will you?
36247Am I right?"
36247And a moment later, still optimistic, he called a servant and asked:--"Where is Pemmican?"
36247And added:"Surely you did not think that I would sell myself for less?"
36247And after he had yielded up his shameless gains, what then?
36247And as that person came through the door Murgatroyd rose and went forward to meet her, saying:--"How do you do, Mrs. Challoner?
36247And finally turning to Murgatroyd:"I should like to hear from Prosecutor Murgatroyd as to the truth or falsity of this?"
36247And he counted slowly:"One, two, three, four, five-- all full, see?"
36247And he cried joyfully:--"Confessed?
36247And he did n''t have any when he went away?"
36247And if I should-- where is the inducement?
36247And now seating himself at his desk Murgatroyd turned to Challoner with:--"Well, Challoner, what can I do for you?"
36247And other houses as well as Cradlebaugh''s have an opening on that street, have n''t they?
36247And say,"he went on, placing his hand soothingly upon the other''s arm,"you would n''t mind looking up Chairman Peter Broderick, would you?
36247And should he hold a mere slip of a girl responsible for putting into words what every woman thinks?
36247And so it was that a little while later he turned to Shirley and said:--"Does she understand that we must lose?"
36247And society''s estimation?
36247And that,"concluded the captain,"is enough for you and me; we''ve got to obey orders-- see?"
36247And then holding out his hand, he continued kindly:"Billy, if you had n''t taken it-- where would I have been to- day?"
36247And turning again to Pemmican:"Where is Challoner?"
36247And turning back to Murgatroyd:"See here, Murgatroyd, let''s get this straight, shall we?"
36247And turning it almost inside out, he asked in an offhand manner:--"Where''s the money gone?"
36247And with a wave of the hand:"Room A-- will that suit you?"
36247And yet after a little while she began to wonder whether his conscience troubled him-- whether it had cost him anything?
36247Are n''t you ashamed, Miriam?
36247Are you going to lynch him?"
36247Are you retained?
36247Are your hands clean?"
36247As I understand it, both Hargraves and you were fatally infatuated with an actress at the Frivolity-- quarrelled over her-- is that right?"
36247As a business,"he went on,"what can be more profitable than concrete?
36247As for Shirley?
36247At once a hardness crept into her voice, and she asked coldly:--"For whom?"
36247Broderick gasped:"W-- what?"
36247Broderick held out his hand, and asked with a show of interest:--"What are they, anyway?"
36247But Challoner, a wolf now and not a man, jerked away from her, and answered:--"I came home, did n''t I?
36247But ignoring her completely, he again said to his wife:--"Miriam, where is that money?"
36247But see him-- don''t take no for an answer, and after you have told him the whole story, get his orders-- see?"
36247But what does he want?"
36247But what of it?"
36247But what of that?
36247But where could she find the man in whom she could put her faith?
36247But why am I kept locked up in this house of detention?"
36247But why did n''t you say so before?"
36247By the way, Mixley,"he added,"take this carbon copy over to Thorne, will you?
36247Can the butterfly make a bookworm happy, much as she may love him?
36247Can you stand having it back again?"
36247Can you tell me that?"
36247Challoner held it up, looked at it a moment, finally he said, with just a tinge of suspicion in his voice:--"This tiny dress-- what?"
36247Challoner quarrelled with Colonel Hargraves----""What about?"
36247Challoner went over to the photograph, picked it up and wheeling round said threateningly:--"Did you put_ him_ in that frame?"
36247Challoner?"
36247Challoner?"
36247Challoner?"
36247Challoner?"
36247Confessed?
36247Confound it, man, do you know the most I ever made out of any one deal?"
36247Did she not know that he would not ask her if he did not_ have_ to have it?
36247Do you hear?"
36247Do you know that I''m one of the few that believe the truth about that bribe?"
36247Do you know what happened_ there_ last night?"
36247Do you recall our compact?
36247Do you recall the compact made nearly six years ago?"
36247Do you think I''d give up to you so easy?
36247Do you think that he do n''t know how to mix concrete?
36247Do you understand me?"
36247Do you understand?
36247Do you understand?"
36247Do you understand?"
36247Does n''t that count with you-- doesn''t it signify?"
36247Everything is left to me-- I am to free your husband-- I am to keep your money?"
36247Finally eyeing Murgatroyd with suspicion, he asked:--"Without prejudice to anybody''s rights, I''d like to know how you got all this?"
36247Finally he inquired:--"What did you do?"
36247Finally he saw him coming out of one of the rooms and hailed him with:--"Hargraves showed up yet?"
36247Finally she leaned toward her visitor, and asked, a world of pathos in the question:--"Is-- is there any news outside?"
36247Finally she looked up at him quizzically for a moment, then asked:--"Do you really want to know?"
36247Found?"
36247Gentlemen of the jury, how do you say you find-- guilty or not guilty?"
36247Had he friends?
36247Had he grown stout?
36247Happy?"
36247Have a cigar?"
36247Have you any idea, young woman, what it costs in this State to be chosen senator?"
36247He did not answer the question, but ventured:--"Is it because of Thorne?
36247He drew near and whispered:"We thought it best to take''em by surprise; they had n''t no time to fix things, do n''t you see?"
36247He hesitated for an instant before asking:--"Can I be of any help?"
36247He looked at his wife stupidly, and after a time, he added:"Why, Miriam, you never told me.... A little child for you and me?"
36247Her grasp became a clutch as she repeated:--"What have you got to say to me?
36247His voice, however, was distinctly non- committal in tone when he observed easily:--"Pemmican saw it all, then?"
36247How do you feel?"
36247How many barrels of cement a day?
36247How?..."
36247I am not sure that you meant all you said-- indeed whether you remember it?"
36247I do n''t know what it is-- what is it, anyhow?"
36247I had promised, do n''t you see?"
36247I say, what do you think the votes of the''wise''assemblymen were quoted at-- on the market last night?"
36247I wish it were..."And after a moment:"Do you still want to know?"
36247If I did take the money, what in the world have I done with it-- tell me that?
36247If so, where are they?
36247If you don''t----"But Thorne''s self- possession had come back, and he demanded fearlessly:--"And what about you, Murgatroyd?
36247Is he my successful rival?"
36247Is n''t that it?"
36247Is that right?
36247It was the Terwilliger tract-- I was chairman of the common council, finance committee, you remember?
36247Look here-- do you know who killed Hargraves?"
36247Marriage would not make me happy; it would be misery----""Misery?"
36247Miriam could not restrain herself, and burst out:--"And you have known this for years?"
36247Miriam turned to Challoner, and said with a smile:--"Laurie, do you remember the day when we had saved our first ten dollars?"
36247Mistrustfully she peered about her once more, then leaning far over toward Murgatroyd, she whispered:--"We are alone?"
36247Mixley, still lingering, now asked:--"Any news from the Court of Errors and Appeals?"
36247Murgatroyd frowned, his bearing slipped off some of its deference when he retorted in a voice full of emotion:--"What have_ you_ to say to_ me_?..."
36247Murgatroyd frowned, then he answered:--"How?
36247Murgatroyd held up his hand and went on to explain:--"What I tell you is confidential-- you understand?"
36247Murgatroyd lit a cigar, leaned back in his chair and inquired in an offhand manner:--"How much?"
36247Murgatroyd shook hands with the Challoners; but on Shirley making her adieus, he said:--"May I have a moment with you, Miss Bloodgood?
36247Murgatroyd tapped the yellow sheets impatiently, and asked:--"How did he kill himself?"
36247Murgatroyd turned his gaze now on Miriam, whose expression of joy had not changed, and asked:--"Mrs. Challoner, do you renew this charge?"
36247Murgatroyd turned to his men and queried:--"Anything new?"
36247Murgatroyd?"
36247Murgatroyd?"
36247Nevertheless, she asked innocently:--"What for, my dear?
36247Now ca n''t you see what it would mean if we tried the experiment of marriage?
36247Now, then, that''s a dark street, is n''t it?
36247On her face came the interested look that he so desired, and she asked:--"Will it, Laurie?"
36247Only a lot of women-- what do they know?"
36247Pemmican for a moment looked bewildered and murmured incredulously:--"... my arrest?"
36247Presently courage came, and she said:--"Will you tell me, please, what my husband''s chances are?"
36247Presently she asked with interest:--"What are you doing now, Stevens?"
36247Presently she cried out:"Oh, Mr. Murgatroyd, do n''t you see what I mean, and wo n''t you help me?"
36247Prosecutor, what have you got to say?"
36247Prosecutor?"
36247Rebuffed once more, Broderick crept to the door, but again he came back, and whispered uncertainly:--"So you want to be United States Senator, eh?
36247She spoke as though in a trance:--"Can you understand me when I say that I have got to have something more than love?
36247She stopped, and then with a sudden lapse to her old air of fear:"Oh, but what will happen now-- what will happen to Laurie?
36247Shirley gasped, the truth at last dawning upon her;"you do n''t mean to say that you''re here in-- in your official capacity?"
36247Shirley was quivering with suppressed excitement; nevertheless, she managed to ask:--"What does that prove?"
36247Slapping the morning editions, scareheads, uppermost in front of the sergeant, he blurted out:--"What''s this here?"
36247Strikes me that they''re your first contribution to the campaign fund, eh?"
36247Suddenly a voice from overhead broke in upon his thoughts with:--"Front entrance, sir?"
36247Suddenly he said:--"But somebody killed Hargraves-- who did it?"
36247Supposing Shirley was in Laurie''s place-- if she were accused of crime, what would n''t you do for her?"
36247That''s right-- isn''t it?"
36247The best job that we''ve got?"
36247The desk- sergeant''s eyes narrowed to pin points as he demanded:--"In which direction?"
36247The fruit was devoured; of what value was the rind?
36247Then I''m the first to announce it?
36247Then turning to Mrs. Challoner, he went on in the same tone:--"Do you see these seals?"
36247Then with great emotion in his voice he went on:--"And what part, gentlemen, did the wife have in all this?
36247Then, motioning politely for her to be seated, he took a chair opposite to hers and asked severely:--"Mrs. Challoner, what do you mean by this?
36247There was a hungry look in the man''s eyes as he spoke:--"And if I do?..."
36247There was a long silence; finally Murgatroyd spoke in an even voice:--"You want me to go on his bond and loan him some thousands of dollars, too?"
36247There was a pause in which Mixley looked meaningly at McGrath; then he said:--"And one chamber empty?"
36247There was no answer; and interpreting her silence as assent, he went on persistently:--"And he refused?"
36247This case they have put up to me and my men----""Surely you ca n''t mean to imply that you have to do this kind of thing yourself?"
36247Thorne looked Broderick in the eye for a moment and asked:--"Do you know that this murder happened inside of Cradlebaugh''s?"
36247Thorne looked about the room, then he inquired innocently:--"He does n''t seem to have arrived as yet-- where is he?"
36247Thorne sighed:--"You think we''re safe with him?"
36247Thorne''s insolence had returned as he demanded:--"Do you mean to tell me that your name will be presented in the caucus?"
36247Thorne?"
36247Two more barrels of cement go in there-- do you understand?"
36247Was he full- faced, or possibly a bit insolent, overbearing and aggressively genial with a wide laugh?
36247Was not that the modern idea-- the spirit of the age?
36247Was there not something queer, something not exactly right, in his telling Miriam about the other woman?
36247We ca n''t help it, do n''t you see?
36247Well, and why not?
36247What are they saying?"
36247What are you going to do about it?"
36247What can I do for you?"
36247What do you smell?"
36247What does he want, Stevens?"
36247What for, pray?"
36247What frauds?"
36247What good news?"
36247What has he made of it?
36247What have you got to say?"
36247What if some day he should come to her free of all hypocrisy, stripped of all save truth, a beaten man, what then?
36247What is in that closet now?"
36247What is it?"
36247What is money?
36247What with?"
36247What''s your price?
36247When I said to you that I would set your husband free, did I say--_when_?"
36247When Miriam went to the hospital that day, I started in-- one dollar and a half a day----""Yes?"
36247When she found her voice, she asked tremblingly:--"Do you really want to know?"
36247When the foreman came to Challoner, he called out in surprise:--"What do you want?"
36247Where is your client?"
36247Who is it for, Miriam?"
36247Who might he be?
36247Why did n''t you say so before?
36247Why did n''t you tell me?"
36247Why did you break it?"
36247Why do you ask?"
36247Why should we?
36247Why, look at me?"
36247Why?
36247Why?"
36247Why?..."
36247Will you come to the house to- night?
36247William Murgatroyd?
36247Wo n''t you wait, please?"
36247Work?
36247You agree?"
36247You can get those securities to- day, I suppose?"
36247You know what it meant, do n''t you?
36247You must not stay, you must not see...""Why did you hide from me?"
36247You must stop this....""Bribery?"
36247You seen us take this here firearm from Mr. Challoner just now, did n''t you?"
36247You understand the nature of this charge?"
36247You understand the terms?
36247You understand?"
36247You will-- won''t you?"
36247You''ll defend him?"
36247You''ll go on his bond, wo n''t you?"
36247You''re a new man, do n''t you see?"
36247You''re fair and we''re fair-- see?"
36247You''re not going to let me go?"
36247You''ve got Challoner outside?"
36247You''ve paid me well, but you''ve had blamed good returns for it, have n''t you?
36247[ Illustration:"''DID YOU PUT_ HIM_ IN THAT FRAME?''"]
36247roared Broderick to the sergeant;"what in thunder do you want?"
29029''Where are we going?'' 29029 ..._ Was she truly hastening towards good fortune through this night of wind and rain?...
29029A divisional? 29029 A programme?"
29029About Nichoune''s death, perhaps?
29029Ah, Baron, how can I ever express my gratitude?
29029Ah, no King of Spain affair?
29029Ah, then, you''ll foot the bill, Bobine, if you have such a rich situation?
29029Ah, well, since you have been so obliging, it would give me pleasure to introduce you to some people, if you would care for it?... 29029 Am I to think you are afraid?"
29029And Mademoiselle Berthe?
29029And Nancy?
29029And he is inviolable?
29029And how did she know your address?
29029And if I oppose it?
29029And now you want to get to your new regiment?
29029And suppose it were so?... 29029 And that is-- Fandor?"
29029And that is-- Fandor?
29029And the taxi- driver? 29029 And then he has a daughter, has he not?"
29029And then?
29029And then?...
29029And what are the conditions, Colonel?
29029And what did they declare?
29029And what did this precious priest suspect?
29029And what quantity, Mademoiselle?
29029And you can reserve three rooms for us?
29029And you did?... 29029 And you, Juve?"
29029And you, Juve?
29029And,asked Fandor, hesitating a little,"you have... supplied him with all this?"
29029And,cried she,"who killed the real Corporal Vinson but a few days ago in the rue du Cherche- Midi?
29029And,gasped Fandor,"this individual is called?"...
29029Anything new?
29029Anything new?
29029Are they still investigating?
29029Are things still going well, Vagualame?
29029Are you going to Verdun?
29029Are you sure the message is for me?
29029As much as that? 29029 As much as that?"
29029Aunt Palmyra?
29029Belfort? 29029 Brothers, are you prepared to risk all for our Cause?"
29029But how?
29029But suppose Juve is right?
29029But tell me, Monsieur, may I ask you a question? 29029 But what are you thinking of, Vagualame?
29029But what do I care for that? 29029 But what prevents you now from masquerading as Vagualame?"
29029But when? 29029 But where must I go?"
29029But why?
29029But,cried Vagualame, who feigned sudden comprehension of this document''s importance,"but that is equivalent to a complete plan of mobilisation?"...
29029But,faltered Bobinette:"How could I act otherwise?"
29029But-- how shall you get into it?
29029Butler?
29029By Jove, old man, why be gloomy?
29029By what chance?
29029Can I give you a lift?
29029Can what you tell me be true?
29029Captain Loreuil?
29029Come now, Nichoune, what is your reason? 29029 Come, Butler, is it settled?"
29029Commandant?
29029De Naarboveck is an ambassador?
29029Dead of what?
29029Dead? 29029 Dead?"
29029Did I imagine it?
29029Did he now? 29029 Did he see you then?"
29029Did n''t I hear just now that this boat goes to Calais?
29029Did you hear?
29029Did you know Captain Brocq?
29029Did you see?
29029Disguised as a gipsy, Vagualame? 29029 Do n''t I tell you, old unbeliever that you are, that Corporal Vinson is to bring the plan of the piece in question?"
29029Do n''t you suspect, Fandor?
29029Do n''t you understand?... 29029 Do you know anything about linotypes?"
29029Do you know the name of these individuals?
29029Do you recall a certain conversation, Monsieur de Naarboveck, between detective Juve and the real Vagualame at Jérôme Fandor''s flat?
29029Do you remember, Monsieur de Naarboveck, that evening when the police came here to arrest Vagualame?
29029Does it happen to have for number 1430 G-7?
29029Does that not tell you anything?
29029Does your chauffeur know the route, Monsieur l''Abbé?
29029Empty? 29029 Fandor-- How about those accomplices you refuse to name?...
29029Fantômas?... 29029 For that,"said Juve, pointing a finger at the officer''s short coat...."That?
29029Good evening, Sophie,said Vagualame:"Anything new?"
29029Grave?
29029Has she not told you, then, that she was expecting someone from her part of the country to call on her?
29029Have they not given you money?
29029Have you been long with the Verdun garrison?
29029Have you forgotten that you told me how you had assassinated Captain Brocq?
29029Have you got consciences-- your sort?
29029Have you just now a particularly sharp agent?... 29029 Have you no idea as to who the murderer might be?"
29029Have you quite finished asking me silly questions?... 29029 Have you solved a new problem, or are you thinking of a dark woman?"
29029Have you the portfolio of this dead man?
29029He saw?...
29029Hiloire?
29029How about next Wednesday?
29029How about the document?
29029How do you know that Mademoiselle de Naarboveck showed grief at the death of Captain Brocq?
29029How do you know that?
29029How do you think I can know that?
29029How is it I find you here at this time of day?
29029How is it, then, you called at_ The Crying Calf_ to- day?... 29029 How long shall we be getting across?"
29029How much will you pay?
29029How? 29029 How?
29029How? 29029 I am to confess that I knew him?"
29029I and my woman prisoner?
29029I have not been to bed, have I not? 29029 I hope so-- why?"
29029I mean-- you do not find the discipline severe?
29029I must, then, rely solely on your word for it, your certainty, your conviction?
29029I was disguised, Michel, was I not?
29029If I grant you this decree, Juve, will you take it to the Chancellor''s Office as soon as you reach Paris?
29029If there is anything, where is it likely to be?...
29029If you do not attribute this crime to Fantômas, then at whose door do you lay it?
29029In a fortnight''s time? 29029 In my library?"
29029In that case,said Fandor,"will you look on the deed as done, and take it that you are no longer in existence?"
29029In which case?
29029Information for a report?
29029Is Bobinette dead, then?
29029Is Captain Brocq''s mistress dead, too?... 29029 Is he Corporal Vinson?"
29029Is he at Verdun?
29029Is her room empty?
29029Is it far to the parsonage?
29029Is that all you have to say?
29029Is that man Corporal Vinson?
29029Is that species of giant your brother?
29029Is that true? 29029 Is this agreed to?"...
29029It is Verdun, then, we can see over there?
29029It is your right,grumbled the man:"Have you finished your interrogation of the accused Fandor?"
29029Just did n''t I?... 29029 Just when?...
29029Juve, I ask you why you are so upset?
29029Juve, are you on duty here?
29029Juve, can you bring me face to face with this man? 29029 Look, my dear,"exclaimed one of them,"do you see how pale that man is?
29029Mademoiselle Nichoune is not in, is she?
29029Monsieur Fandor?
29029Monsieur Juve?
29029Monsieur de Naarboveck,he said:"shall we have a few minutes''talk?
29029Must he go down the stairs?
29029My last crime?
29029Naarboveck?
29029Naturally,replied de Naarboveck:"Did not your colleague let you know that my secretary had joined me?"
29029Nichoune?... 29029 No more?"
29029No, my good man-- what do you want with her?
29029No, there were none, but what matters that?
29029Nothing unusual this morning, Loubersac?
29029Now, Corporal,said he,"shall we empty a bottle together in honour of our meeting?"
29029Now, how the deuce am I to know what this famous word is?
29029Now, will you get this prisoner to own up? 29029 Of course, Mademoiselle, we make similar ribbons for you and your partner; but would you kindly tell me if the gentleman is tall or short?
29029Of the new bakehouse, then?
29029Of whom are you afraid?
29029Oh, I am a Belgian.... And you, Butler?
29029On the red?
29029Ought I to get out?
29029Our corporal must have returned to Verdun to- day?
29029Perhaps he will come to his senses if laid on his palliasse? 29029 Perhaps you think it is Bobinette?"
29029Professor of what?
29029Proofs?... 29029 Really?"
29029Really?... 29029 Reasons?"
29029Right?... 29029 Roubaix?
29029Shall I have money soon?
29029Shall we get in? 29029 Should we walk on a little, talking as we go?"
29029Something serious?
29029Suppose I did follow you?...
29029Suppose this abbé is playing a trick on me?... 29029 Sure of it?"
29029Surely Your Majesty does not wish to put me on the horns of such a dilemma? 29029 Tell me, has anything new come to light in that affair?"
29029Tell me, my friend, have you, by chance, received a telegram addressed to the Abbé Gendron?
29029Tell me,questioned Juve:"Did you overhear any suspicious talk?...
29029That depends.... How are things going?
29029That is Corporal Vinson, then?
29029That is obvious, is it not?
29029That?... 29029 The 257th?"
29029The Baron de Naarboveck asks for me?... 29029 The crowd?"
29029The deuce.... What do you imagine that means?
29029The meeting place to- morrow?
29029The number? 29029 The police?
29029Then it is an artilleryman again?
29029Then the real Vagualame must have been at the Baron de Naarboveck''s?
29029Then what conclusion have you arrived at? 29029 Then who was this abbé?"
29029Then you declare you had no idea of what they were taking with them in your car?
29029Therefore, Fandor?
29029These letters had no envelopes with them?
29029Thirty thousand?
29029This doctor did not point out to you the cause of death?
29029This evening?
29029Three rooms? 29029 To pass the time till our friends arrive, what do you say to visiting the workshops?...
29029To the sergeant?... 29029 To what country?"
29029To what do I owe the honour of your visit, gentlemen?
29029True?
29029Tuesday, November 29th, you were in the shoes of Vinson-- is that so?
29029Until you got a billet at_ The Big Tun_?
29029Vagualame, would you like a highly paid commission?
29029Vagualame? 29029 Was the curé with him?"
29029We are not going to stop?
29029We are thoroughly agreed, Monsieur, are we not, regarding the conditions of the accident?... 29029 We leave together-- what more natural?"
29029Well, Monsieur Fandor, what have you to say to this?
29029Well, my dear Fandor, to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?
29029Well, the 257th is in three places: at bastion 14; at the Saint Benoit barracks; and at Fort Vieux-- which are you bound for, Corporal?
29029Well, then, what do you wish me to do?
29029Well, then, when can we meet?
29029Well, then?
29029Well, what do you think, Juve?
29029Well, what is it? 29029 Well, what now?"
29029Well, what then?
29029Well?
29029Well?
29029Well?
29029What I refer to is the V. affair: how does it stand-- what has been done?
29029What ails you, Juve?
29029What are you going to do, Juve?
29029What are you looking for in particular, Juve?
29029What are you saying?
29029What are you thinking about?
29029What are you two up to now?
29029What can he want to see me about?
29029What can you do?
29029What did he suppose was the cause of death?
29029What did you do?
29029What do I care? 29029 What do I mean, my boy?
29029What do I offer?
29029What do you mean by that?
29029What do you mean by that?
29029What do you mean to imply by that?
29029What do you mean, Juve?
29029What do you mean?
29029What do you mean?
29029What do you say to that? 29029 What do you think of her?"
29029What do you want me to do now?
29029What do you want me to do, then?
29029What do you want to say?
29029What do you want with me?
29029What do you want with the 257th of the line?
29029What do you want?
29029What do you want?
29029What does this mean, Fandor?
29029What exactly does Your Majesty mean?
29029What exactly is he going to spring upon me now?
29029What for?
29029What has come to you? 29029 What is Bobinette''s social position?"
29029What is happening, then?
29029What is his game?
29029What is it, then?
29029What is it? 29029 What is it?"
29029What is it?
29029What is it?
29029What is that you say?
29029What is that you say?
29029What is the matter, Henri?
29029What is the position, Vagualame?
29029What is there about them you have to find fault with?
29029What is your name?
29029What must I say, then, if, by chance, I am questioned?
29029What of the Baron, Mademoiselle?
29029What should it be?... 29029 What the deuce does he refer to?"
29029What the deuce is the meaning of all this?
29029What the devil do you mean?
29029What then, Chief?
29029What then?
29029What they were taking with them in my car?
29029What was that you were saying just now?... 29029 What were you doing?"
29029What''s all this humbugging claptrap you are giving me?
29029What''s been your lay? 29029 What''s that you say?"
29029What''s the matter with you, Fandor?
29029What''s your offer?
29029What, little one?
29029What, then, do you refer to, Monsieur Juve?
29029What?
29029What?
29029What?
29029When shall you see him?
29029When?
29029Where am I?
29029Where am I?
29029Where are they?
29029Where have I seen that long beard-- that remarkably heavy moustache?... 29029 Where is Lieutenant de Loubersac this morning?"
29029Where is my curé?
29029Where should I have to go?
29029Where were you bound for, Wilhelmine?
29029Where you are now?
29029Where?
29029Where?
29029Where?
29029Which means to say?...
29029Which things?
29029Who are you, Madame?
29029Who are you, Madame?... 29029 Who are you?"
29029Who can it be at this hour?
29029Who could?... 29029 Who did the deeds?...
29029Who does?
29029Who is Fantômas?
29029Who is he?
29029Who is there?
29029Who nevertheless what?... 29029 Who released you?"
29029Who released you?
29029Who sent you, did you say, Mademoiselle?
29029Who spoke?
29029Who then?
29029Who told you that I had not so decided?... 29029 Who, then, do you think killed Nichoune?"
29029Who, then?
29029Who?
29029Whoever are you?
29029Whom do you suspect?
29029Whose will, Juve?
29029Why Rouen? 29029 Why are you carrying on like this?
29029Why ask me to come in uniform?... 29029 Why have you taken upon yourself to interrupt the proceedings of the court?"
29029Why should I be?
29029Why this change of destination?
29029Why, after so much mystery, such precautions, does this Judas of an abbé disclose the contents of that damnable package before its delivery? 29029 Why, is that so, indeed, Colonel?"
29029Why?
29029Why?... 29029 Will Monsieur kindly follow me?"
29029Will you get up first, Corporal? 29029 Will you grant me a word or two, Monsieur Havard?"
29029Will you help me to reduce these papers to order? 29029 Will you never be able to love me again?"
29029Will you not allow me to introduce you to some charming girls?
29029Will you tell me yours?
29029With Juve?
29029Would you allow me to accompany you?
29029Yes, Monsieur, and you also, no doubt?
29029Yes, and?...
29029Yes?
29029You accuse Fantômas? 29029 You acknowledge then, that these notes were in your possession?"
29029You are anxious, then?
29029You are awake, Corporal?
29029You are awake, then, Monsieur l''Abbé?
29029You are constantly looking for it, of course? 29029 You are free, then?"
29029You are going to give me something for Roubaix again?
29029You are going to put Captain Muller in the way of things here, Commandant, are you not?
29029You are looking into this Brocq affair, Juve?... 29029 You are not bored?"
29029You are not going to bed, Monsieur l''Abbé?
29029You are not going to bore me again with your ideas of marriage?
29029You are off at once, Vinson?
29029You are set on it, Monsieur?
29029You are soldiers of the second class in the 213th of the line, and fulfil the functions of staff orderlies?
29029You are sure of that?
29029You are sure of that?
29029You are the person who said''I''?
29029You are truly Corporal Vinson?
29029You ask me who I am?... 29029 You ask me,"replied he,"what criminal could be daring enough to do this?
29029You asked to see Monsieur de Naarboveck, did you not? 29029 You await Monsieur Fandor?"
29029You can give us dinner?
29029You confess, then?
29029You did?
29029You do n''t think, do you, Vagualame, that I take you for an old man? 29029 You do not believe me, Juve?"
29029You do not know about the Châlons affair-- the assassination of the singer, Nichoune?
29029You do not want to hand this over to Belfort?
29029You do not wish to be our faithful letter- box any more?
29029You find it incomprehensible?
29029You have a coach- house where the car can be put up?
29029You have friends in Verdun, sir?
29029You have heard from him, Chief?
29029You have made out your report?
29029You have not received vexatious instructions, I hope, Monsieur l''Abbé?
29029You have not seen him for a week?
29029You have proof of it?
29029You have proof of it?... 29029 You have read that?"
29029You have serious circumstantial evidence against this person?
29029You here, Monsieur?
29029You intend to come to?...
29029You know Corporal Vinson?
29029You know her very well, then?
29029You know something else?
29029You know that old fellow?
29029You know what it is, do you, Corporal?
29029You know where my car is?
29029You know, dear lad,said Juve in quiet tones:"We are going to risk our skins?...
29029You maintain that you did not assume the personality of Vinson before that date?
29029You paid back your sister?
29029You told her to come here?
29029You told me just now that Prof. Barrell chanced to be present at the moment of death?
29029You want it?
29029You will excuse my absence this morning? 29029 You will not wait, Juve, to have further proofs of what you assert?"
29029You will return, will you not, Corporal?
29029You will sleep with all your clothes on?
29029You will think me very inquisitive, but could you tell me the nature of... this communication?
29029You, Bonnet? 29029 Young soldiers in garrison towns have a deuced poor time of it-- is that not so?...
29029Your curé?
29029Your father?
29029Your men, Michel, do not know what individual we are after?
29029Your sister?
29029*****"Did you hear, Vagualame?"
29029*****"Lieutenant Servin?"
29029*****"Monsieur de Naarboveck, if you please?"
29029?...
29029A beggar?
29029A flock of suspicions crowded his mind: might he not have fallen into a trap?
29029A police spy?...
29029A shoe-- the traditional silver- buckled shoe of the priest-- was visible below the cassock.... That was all right... but, how slender his ankle?...
29029After their cordial handshake, Juve, wishing to define the situation, asked:"Now what are we after exactly-- you and I?
29029Ah, you are new here, are you not?
29029All she asked, in a timid voice, was:"Where am I to go then?"
29029All she said was:"Have our brothers been warned, Vagualame?"
29029Am I speaking to Headquarters of Police?"
29029An inspector will be here in ten minutes?...
29029And he had never been able to find a satisfactory answer to"Who is Fantômas?"
29029And is it to be supposed that I am going to allow you to make off again without asking you to explain yourself and this extraordinary situation?"
29029And that at the very moment when he leaned out of the window of the vehicle to give the chauffeur his instructions?"
29029And you are Monsieur Paul, theatrical manager.... That is according to our arrangement, is it not?"
29029And you, Monsieur l''Abbé?...
29029And, Corporal... we know some officers-- if you want leave now and again-- you must let us know-- will you not?"
29029Another point.... Why had they chosen him, Corporal Vinson as they believed, for such a mission?...
29029Anything fresh?"
29029Are all well at Monsieur de Naarboveck''s?
29029Are you alone in your room?"
29029Are you frozen, you two?...
29029Are you mad?"
29029Are you quite certain about the facts yourself?
29029Are you ready?"
29029Are you reporting the official fêtes nowadays?"
29029Arrest Bobinette?
29029As Bobinette uttered these last words, the old accordion player chuckled sneeringly:"So that''s what you think?
29029As he made his way home on foot, he asked himself:"What are they looking for?"
29029As the air became exhausted in the confined space the noisome odour of the beast caught her by the throat.... What was she to do?
29029Assuredly not the unknown who had fled so mysteriously--"Who then?"
29029At the close he asked abruptly:"Now what are we going to do?"
29029At this Nichoune blazed out:"What the matter is?
29029Besides... did I tell you that now?"
29029Bobinette felt so weak and giddy that she remained in a sitting posture.... What exactly had happened?...
29029But I do n''t suppose you want to leave your old comrade in a fix, do you?"
29029But by whom?
29029But how pull the scales from off eyes blinded by fanaticism?
29029But what sort of woman are you, Bobinette, to try and deceive me?
29029But who then, according to you, Chief, has killed Brocq?"
29029But who, then, is she?"
29029But why are you putting all this furniture in the gallery?"
29029But, no doubt you have friends here, Corporal?"
29029But, would not a priest, accustomed to wear a cassock, act as a woman would?
29029Call out?
29029Can I be useful to you?
29029Can you convict him of his imposture in my presence?"
29029Can you recover it?"
29029Can you see me in a drawing- room, playing my tricks with the colonel''s wife, the general''s wife, with the whole blessed lot of them?
29029Could Fandor believe his ears?
29029Could Juve believe his ears?...
29029Could cynicism-- could mordant irony go further?
29029Could he find a pretext which would take him aboard-- justify a thorough investigation of boat and crew?...
29029Could he possibly realise that Vagualame was one of Colonel Hofferman''s most trusted men?
29029Could he, at one and the same time, trick the French Army and save it?...
29029Could her overstrung nerves be playing her tricks?
29029De Naarboveck''s gesture might mean anything:"Who?"...
29029De Naarboveck''s tone was irony incarnate...."And what may I ask is your aim in forcing this conversation, Monsieur?"
29029Deuce take it, you do not suppose I go by what these officers of the Second Bureau are doing in the way of a search, do you?...
29029Did Michel suspect there were Nihilists on the premises?
29029Did Wilhelmine lack intuition?
29029Did he hear a distant, stifled groan?
29029Did he manage to extract any information?"
29029Did he not know Vagualame, the real Vagualame?
29029Did n''t you have a talk with Nichoune on the Friday, the eve of her death?"
29029Did she really love him, this woman with her whimsical ways, her independent attitude, this elusive woman who never gave herself entirely?
29029Did the Second Bureau suspect anything?...
29029Do I trouble myself to find out who you are, Vagualame?"
29029Do n''t you know what to do to them?"
29029Do they know I came in mufti this morning?...
29029Do you even know why you are here?"
29029Do you know anything about the working of these machines?"
29029Do you know where Juve is at this moment?"
29029Do you know where it is?"
29029Do you know where we are going, Fandor, lad?"
29029Do you know who has struck the blow?"
29029Do you know who killed Captain Brocq?"
29029Do you not know that a king has no right to put his signature, his seal to an injustice?"
29029Do you recognise these notes as having been in your possession?"
29029Do you recollect, Vagualame, that I shall have to hand it over early to- morrow morning?"
29029Do you see it?...
29029Do you swear it still?"
29029Do you think it funny that your orderly should read them to his country- woman?
29029Do you think she will be long, my little Nichoune?"
29029Does it happen to be red, and will seat four persons?"
29029Drawing Juve aside, he asked:"Juve, what is Headquarters thinking about?"
29029Dumoulin was fully alive to the importance of his position: was he not the repository of the famous key which unlocked the steel press?
29029Dumoulin was silent a moment, choking with anger, his hand trembling slightly-- did the fellow mean to mock him?...
29029During how many sleepless nights had his mind not been full of it?
29029Eh?"
29029Fandor interrupted:"But, my good corporal, why are you telling me all this?"
29029Fandor''s gaze was fixed in an observing stare.... Did he not see cords binding the limbs of Fantômas?
29029Fantômas had threatened her with death, and yet she lived.... Where was she?...
29029Fantômas, what have I done?"
29029Good.... You will send me someone immediately?...
29029HAVE THEY BOLTED?
29029Had Nichoune''s murder been explained?
29029Had Vinson and the priest been warned that detectives were hot on their trail?
29029Had he also followed them?
29029Had he been happily inspired to speak so to him of the girl he loved, the enigmatic Wilhelmine?
29029Had he heard aright?
29029Had he not opened the door?...
29029Had he not promised absolute secrecy?
29029Had not Juve, as Vagualame, clearly insinuated that Wilhelmine de Naarboveck must have been the mistress of Captain Brocq?
29029Had not de Loubersac protested vehemently against such an odious calumny?
29029Had she not given him permission to call her Wilhelmine, and did he not cherish the hope of soon making her his wife?
29029Had something arisen which was going to prevent his departure?
29029Had they been warned and stopped?
29029Had they set off without him?...
29029Hand me the promised document, will you?...
29029Has Mademoiselle Wilhelmine recovered from the sad shock of Captain Brocq''s death?...
29029Has it passed this way?"
29029Has the counter verification been carried out?
29029Have I not heard that the young couple are leaving for the centre of Africa?"
29029Have I not told you twenty times that I am going away for a fortnight''s holiday?
29029Have they been shown the body of the real Corporal Vinson?"
29029Have they not remunerated you for your pains?"
29029Have you an idea of where the document was lost?"
29029Have you considered that if this decree be unmerited, this document will be a shameful one, and will reflect shame not only on me but on my country?
29029Have you further information about Brocq''s death?"
29029Have you noticed that for some time past I have not handed you any report from the agent Vagualame?"
29029Have you seen it?"
29029Having sufficiently enjoyed the surprise of his protégé, the baron asked:"Do you know where we are, Monsieur Fandor?"
29029He addressed the driver:"Monsieur, I have rather lost my bearings: will you kindly tell me in which direction the nearest railway station lies?"
29029He comes just at the moment when we have some very nasty business in hand-- difficult-- very worrying.... That''s so, Dumoulin?"
29029He declared to me, the other day, that he was certain the death of Captain Brocq must be credited to-- whose account do you think?...
29029He gazed hard at Nichoune-- stared so fixedly at her that she demanded:"Whatever possesses you to stare at me like that?"
29029He questioned in his turn:"Why?"
29029He repeated:"Are you Corporal Vinson?"
29029He shot a question at Fandor:"Are we far from Verdun?"
29029He turned to the hotel- keeper:"Tell me just how far the parsonage is from here?"
29029He was asking himself why Bobinette, after telling him she must hurry away, had driven to the Bois as if she were one of the leisured crowd?
29029Here the colonel interrupted:"What can these details matter to us, Mademoiselle?
29029How are you?"
29029How are you?"
29029How are you?"
29029How could Wilhelmine be entirely ignorant of this dreadful creature''s character?
29029How could Wilhelmine be wholly innocent of the terribly compromising actions of her daily companion?
29029How could a pure girl breathe the miasmic atmosphere which must emanate from the soul of this abominable woman?
29029How could an arrested Vagualame send her a telegram, and such a telegram?
29029How could he show up Trokoff as he really was?
29029How could this person have committed suicide without having been seen in the act by someone?
29029How could you imagine the infernal trick this bandit was playing on you?...
29029How dare you accost me like this?
29029How delicate his skin?...
29029How do you know that?"
29029How goes it?"
29029How intelligent he was?
29029How is it you have not guessed the truth since?...
29029How many more times am I to tell you this?"
29029How proceed?
29029How that?...
29029How the devil was he going to escape from this wasp''s nest?
29029How to act?
29029How to prove to them he was not Fantômas?
29029How was it you did not detect the fraud, if only by the voice?...
29029How?
29029How?"
29029I asked for a holiday and Monsieur de Naarboveck very kindly granted it... but you?"
29029I consider it is my turn to put a question or two to you-- What are you doing?"
29029I expect you have forgotten the details concerning this object?
29029I fancy, Monsieur the Ambassador, that you are satisfied with this nomination?"
29029I have an attic for your chauffeur, and a fine double- bedded room for you and Monsieur the corporal.... That will suit you-- I think?"
29029I have betrayed myself?
29029I hope, Monsieur Fandor, that you do not contest the exactitude of the Bertillion method?"
29029I know you take your work seriously.... We have excellent reports of you-- you are married, are you not?"
29029I promised to find him one if I could.... Would you like to be this professor?"
29029I shall tell you all I can without breaking professional secrecy.... Shall we take a turn through the rooms, old boy?"
29029I?"
29029I?...
29029If it were the traitor Vinson?
29029If these people have discovered my identity?
29029In a strangely solemn voice, Bobinette replied:"You would know the history of the guilty person?...
29029In the name of death and destruction, why?"
29029In the street?"
29029In what way?"
29029Is he with you?"
29029Is it difficult to earn?"
29029Is it not a good-- a perfect imitation?"
29029Is n''t that true?"
29029Is that not a crime worthy of Fantômas?"
29029Is that your opinion, Colonel?"
29029It is to that you allude, is it not?"
29029It will be for you?"...
29029Just as he got up to them, he heard the priest say in a tart voice to the man in the fur coat, now standing in the road:"Whatever is the matter?
29029Just now, ten, five minutes ago-- did you not see a lady-- young-- she had red hair-- did she not pass this way?
29029Lady Beltham?
29029Live by charity?
29029Look now, it is quite three minutes since de Naarboveck disappeared from here, and you imagine there is still time to catch him?...
29029Lose Your Majesty''s friendship, confidence, or let pass a unique opportunity?"
29029More and more astonished, Wilhelmine replied:"And suppose I were going to do so?
29029No doubt he would soon secure additional information; but what was the connecting link?
29029No doubt she had carried off with her this secret plan of mobilisation-- but if the plan got lost?
29029No doubt you refer to the marriage of Wilhelmine?"
29029No?...
29029Not here-- somewhere else.... Should we say?"...
29029Not the slightest trace of a beard?...
29029Nothing serious?"
29029Now he came to examine him, surely this priest''s face had a queer look?...
29029Now tell me is there no railway along the route we are following?"
29029Now, Fandor, how can I tolerate this?"
29029Now, whom shall I meet to- night at this cursed rendezvous, and what is the business?
29029Now, why have you asked me that question?"
29029Oh, my poor Nichoune, however could this have happened?"
29029On a bantering note he added:"An appreciable advantage, is it not?"
29029On it the commandant read:_ Inspector Juve, Detective Force, Police Headquarters._"What does he want?"
29029On the way from the Place de l''Étoile here?
29029Play the poltroon?...
29029Presently Wilhelmine asked:"But what brought you in this direction?"
29029Presently he asked:"Where do you think of going?"
29029Presently she asked, rather anxiously:"Are you likely to be away a long time, sir?"
29029Professor Barrell replied in a low voice:"To a chemist''s?
29029Rue Richer is still your address?"
29029Said one:"You know their room, do n''t you?...
29029Shall I arrive too late?"
29029She is known to have visited Brocq repeatedly.... Now, what was she doing there-- what was her object?
29029She screwed up her courage to ask:"How did you learn my address?"
29029Should I be doing wrong to pray for the repose of the soul of the unfortunate Captain Brocq, who was one of my best friends?"
29029Should I blow out the candle, Corporal?"
29029Should he answer it?
29029Shrewd?"
29029Since last night had not his own mind been distressed by the mysteries he divined in this strange death?
29029Since when?"
29029Some of the household?
29029Still anxious, Angélique went on:"Perhaps you intend to change your housekeeper when you return, Monsieur Fandor?
29029Suppose Bobinette''s agitation was so marked that it aroused their suspicions, and his presence was revealed?...
29029Suppose I say_ monoplane_?"
29029Suppose de Loubersac, instead of questioning her, broke with her?
29029Suppose he knows of our arrival at Dieppe?...
29029Suppose that after six months of truce, six months of tranquillity, your whole existence is again violently upset?
29029Suppose the two traitors, being warned, have given our men the slip on the way?
29029Suppose this stop at Rouen was caused by the telegram they received at the garage?...
29029Supposing Bobinette had noticed nothing-- if the document had fallen in the street?
29029Tell me, Bobinette, who is less worthy of pity than the cowardly criminal who betrays his accomplice?...
29029Tell me, Bobinette, who is more hateful than the Judas who sells you with a kiss?...
29029Tell me, is it the same on your side?"
29029Tell me, you have not seen Belfort?
29029Than the bandit who delivers up his chief for money, perhaps for less than money-- because of fear-- who betrays his master to save his own skin?"...
29029That curé came to my garage yesterday and hired my car for an outing.... What business has this curé or his soldier to move my car?...
29029That is it?...
29029That name was it not a frightful symbol of all the crimes, all the atrocities, the monstrous synthesis of unpunished evil?
29029That your concierge should know all about them?
29029The bandit pronounced"I?"
29029The chauffeur insisted:"But, how far do you think it is, Corporal, from here to it, in a straight line?...
29029The chauffeur stared in turn: then he asked:"Well?...
29029The chauffeur turned:"Can I stop, Monsieur?
29029The commandant cried angrily:"What kind of imbeciles are you?
29029The constable made a suggestion:"Had we not better take this individual to a chemist''s?"
29029The dark young man interrupted with another question:"What is your native country, Tommy?"
29029The death of Captain Brocq coincides with the loss of a certain secret document: is it for you or for us to institute an enquiry into it?"
29029The deceased was a captain-- isn''t that so?
29029The devil was in it?
29029The fugitives were long in coming: had they got wind of what was afoot?
29029The journalist considered him an instant, then asked:"To whom have I the honour of speaking?"
29029The man who had opened to him asked:"What name shall I give to the gentlemen, Monsieur?"
29029The multi- coloured cockades or the bows of ribbon in one shade?
29029The number of this taxi?"
29029The old man murmured:"What the devil is it a question of?"
29029The prime mover of these mysteries?
29029The red- haired beauty cried impatiently:"It''s you ask me that?...
29029The soldier came forward a step: then, as if making an effort, he articulated painfully:"Will you permit me to enter?
29029Then Juve asked:"Nevertheless, Lieutenant, since I find you here, I fancy there is some side development-- some incident?...
29029Then aloud she queried:"You are a musician, are you?"
29029Then de Loubersac walked up to the old accordion player and asked anxiously:"Can you give me proofs of the truth of what you have just asserted?"
29029Then in a changed voice, a solemn voice with a sharp note in it, he said:"You know about Captain Brocq''s sudden death, of course?...
29029Then she asked anxiously:"But where were you?"
29029Then what did her master want with her here, and at such an hour?
29029Then, in a tone of rising anger, he continued:"And you think me mad?
29029Then, in a voice quivering with sarcasm, he enquired:"Am I to be permitted to know what it is all about?"
29029There is a visitor here, unnoticed.... Are you also ignorant of the fact that the Baron de Naarboveck receives a king here to- night?"
29029There was a note of suspicious contempt in his question:"Are you quite sure of what you say?"
29029They have not arrived yet; but there is no need to wait for a regular introduction-- what do you think?"
29029They were leaving Paris-- for what destination?
29029This Sophie did not say anything interesting?"
29029This is the way, then, you steal guns to help the Germans to shoot the French?
29029This outrage?
29029Throwing himself into an arm- chair, this Trokoff asked:"Well now?
29029Thus Fandor had asked himself whether the Second Bureau had been warned of the part he had played with regard to Vinson?
29029Try it on-- will you?...
29029Twice he cried, in an irritated voice:"What is the matter with you?
29029Vagualame insisted:"Dangerous, as well?"
29029Vagualame?"
29029Vinson had the murdered Nichoune as his mistress.... Do you not think the link between these two names is evident?...
29029Was Fantômas quite near?
29029Was Vagualame''s stupid, silly manner intentional?
29029Was he an impostor?
29029Was he dreaming?
29029Was he in some hell nightmare?...
29029Was he mad?...
29029Was he not being watched and shadowed in the hope of running the treacherous corporal to earth?
29029Was he still dreaming?...
29029Was he the dupe of a comedy?
29029Was it a cry, a growl, a snarl?...
29029Was it a murder, or a political assassination?...
29029Was it not he himself who had cried it?
29029Was it not true?"
29029Was it not?"
29029Was it some illusion of sense and brain?...
29029Was not his accordion there to show that he possessed a regular means of livelihood?
29029Was not their betrothal to have been announced at the ball?...
29029Was she still in the land of the living?
29029Was she without that delicate sensitiveness which is the birthright of all nice women?
29029Was the car stolen?...
29029Was the subject of these talks National Defence?
29029Was this fair- haired girl really the baron''s daughter?
29029Was this really Vagualame?
29029Well now, how is my little pet of a girl?"
29029Well, since you know so much, what is he doing here your king?"
29029Well?"
29029Well?"
29029Were her knees going to give way?...
29029Were there not goatskin wraps inside?"
29029What am I going to do?...
29029What am I wanted for?"
29029What are you doing here?"
29029What are you going to do?...
29029What are you waiting for?"
29029What could it be?
29029What could she do?
29029What could this mean?
29029What criminal would have carried out such a murder successfully?
29029What dark personality was hid behind that familiar figure?
29029What definite reason had he?
29029What did it matter to Bobinette where they were going while strange doubts and horrid fears filled her mind?
29029What did it mean?
29029What do they prove, after all?"
29029What do you mean to do?"
29029What do you mean?"...
29029What do you really mean?...
29029What do you see surprising in that?"
29029What does that mean exactly?"
29029What exactly is a divisional?"
29029What garden?
29029What good purpose will it serve if we allow ourselves to be over- fatigued and so fit for nothing?...
29029What had happened since?...
29029What had possessed the fugitives to steal the car and then cast it away in the open fields, so near the scene of their theft?...
29029What has gone wrong with your car now?"
29029What has happened, then?"
29029What have I done?...
29029What have you done?"
29029What have you to say in your defence?"
29029What is it you want?"
29029What is it?...
29029What is that other big chimney down there?...
29029What is the common aim of the Second Bureau and Police Headquarters?"
29029What is the name of the new- comer?"
29029What is the next move to be?"
29029What is the reason of that?...
29029What is this mysterious package which must remain out of sight at the bottom of the car?"
29029What is this?"
29029What is troubling you to such an extent?"
29029What madness is yours to think, to imagine you can dupe me?...
29029What must I do?"
29029What new form will he take?...
29029What now?"
29029What odd link there was between this sorry little fellow and the robust Geoffrey?
29029What of that interview in the printing works of the Noret brothers?
29029What others could there be?
29029What scoundrel would ever have run such a risk?"
29029What shocking revelations did they foreshadow?
29029What should she do?
29029What the deuce do you mean?...
29029What the deuce?...
29029What time is it now?
29029What to be done next?
29029What to do?
29029What was all this but a painful confirmation of Juve''s words?...
29029What was behind all this?
29029What was going on behind this tricky collection of magazines, which had undoubtedly just opened to give passage to Vagualame and Bobinette?
29029What was he up to in Fandor''s flat?...
29029What was it?
29029What was it?
29029What was it?...
29029What was this?
29029What would he imagine next?
29029What''s the matter with you?...
29029What?...
29029Whatever is the matter with her?"
29029Whatever the risks to be run, can you bring us face to face under such conditions that the truth will be apparent to me?"
29029Whatever''s come to you, Bobine?"
29029When I ask a fellow:''Old man, what do you want to wet your gullet?''
29029When the bell rang a second time, the man cried:"What''s to be done?"
29029Where are they?...
29029Where are your wits-- wool- gathering?"
29029Where is Fandor?"
29029Where is Father Louis?"
29029Where, I say?"
29029Where?
29029Where?
29029Where?...
29029Whereabouts in it?"
29029Which way to go?
29029While the body was being brought to the police station?...
29029White, like lilies, you say?...
29029Whither?...
29029Who am I?...
29029Who among them could recognise the unknown, elusive bandit, Fantômas?
29029Who are you?
29029Who but an enemy?...
29029Who is this fellow?...
29029Who knows?
29029Who signed for me?
29029Who was it?
29029Who was this facing him?...
29029Who was this woman?
29029Who were these mounting the stairs?
29029Who, do you suppose, would have been mad enough to attempt it?
29029Who, then, would lead with her?
29029Who, then?...
29029Who?"
29029Whose?...
29029Why are you not on your travels?...
29029Why did Vinson and this priest tarry on the way?
29029Why did she come to pray at Lady Beltham''s tomb and bring offerings of fragrant flowers?
29029Why did the corporal, who, up to this, had spoken so freely, now feign ignorance of the gun piece affair?...
29029Why do you halt?"
29029Why had he rushed after his mistress in this fashion?
29029Why have you not disguised yourself?"
29029Why not be jolly?"
29029Why not see if they are in it?...
29029Why not?
29029Why should Corporal Vinson, bearer of this compromising artillery piece, plant himself at a little hotel in Rouen for the night?
29029Why should he?
29029Why should she suppose the drivers of these cars racing on their appointed way would stop, locate the cry, and succour her?
29029Why the devil are you got up as Fantômas, my lad?...
29029Why this halt in the outskirts of Rouen when a quick run, a quick handing over of the package is so essential?...
29029Why were they taking him there?...
29029Why, in Heaven''s name, are you always so frightened?"
29029Why?
29029Why?
29029Why?"
29029Wilhelmine broke off:"Henri, do you know that it is past midnight?"
29029Will you be good enough to lend me a hand again?"
29029Will you be kind enough to stop a cab for us?
29029Will you come, Lieutenant?"
29029Will you not let me share this secret?"
29029With a caricatural gesture of disdain, and an off- handed air, this corpulent personage demanded stridently:"Who are these gentlemen?"
29029With such a powerful machine, why this stop in a journey of some 225 kilometres?"
29029With the most stupid air in the world, Fandor asked:"Must it not be seen, then?"
29029Without anyone finding his revolver?
29029Without being inquisitive, I suppose you have your head full of other things than the state of the weather?"
29029Would Juve ever have his revenge?
29029Would it be best in accordance with his aims to deny it?
29029Would you not like to arrange a meeting for your first morning in Paris?
29029Would you object to our stopping a minute so that I might swallow a glass of rum?"
29029XXII HAVE THEY BOLTED?
29029XXIV AN APPETISER AT ROBERT''S BAR"Have another whisky, old sport?"
29029XXVI WILHELMINE''S SECRET"You are alone, Wilhelmine?"
29029XXVIII AT"THE CRYING CALF""What''s your drink?"
29029XXXIII RECONCILIATION"Which do you prefer, Mademoiselle?
29029You accuse Fantômas of having killed Captain Brocq?"
29029You approve of this, Juve?"
29029You are afraid?...
29029You are called Berthe, are you not?"
29029You are certain that the victim died immediately?"
29029You are coming to Monsieur de Naarboveck''s soon?"
29029You are on pretty intimate terms with Juve, are you not?"
29029You feel rested?"
29029You followed me?"
29029You grasp it?"
29029You have heard?
29029You have his deposition?"
29029You have news of Mademoiselle Wilhelmine?"
29029You have not two rooms for us?"
29029You have read my articles?"
29029You know how highly I esteem him?
29029You know the little singer of Châlons, called Nichoune?
29029You know this part of the country, Corporal?"
29029You know, of course, that you are Captain Brocq''s successor?
29029You manufacture bank- notes, do you?"
29029You never suspected who was so near you, now did you?"
29029You remember I passed the Markets''test and was nominated market porter?"
29029You remember I was rejected?...
29029You see its importance?...
29029You think, then, that I am thoroughly upset?"
29029You thoroughly understand?"
29029You will allow me to turn the key?"
29029You will excuse me?"
29029You will go as usual, will you not, to the Army and Navy Hotel, boulevard Barbès?
29029You wish to know?...
29029Your Majesty understands me?...
29029Your friend?
29029affair?"
29029affair?...
29029and then?...
29029and, showing him the vegetables in her basket, she began to drawl in a sing- song voice:"Will you have turnips and leeks?
29029ca n''t you guess?''
29029cords binding him about the middle, constricting his whole body?
29029cried Henri de Loubersac:"Is it love you feel for him, then?"
29029groaned Bobinette:"Whatever shall we do?"
29029growled the commandant:"You are not called Hiloire?"
29029he remonstrated;"I am not dreaming, am I?...
29029his eyes?
29029interrupted the captain,"do you know what address she gave?"
29029painted?...
29029protested the bewildered giant:"You''re going to cut your stick already?"
29029suggested Hogshead Geoffrey...."And now, what will you take?"
29029what is the meaning of this comedy?"
29029where, and who was the mysterious person who was really pulling the strings?
33301''And you think you have done this?'' 33301 ''Does he?''
33301''He did?'' 33301 ''Holt?''
33301''O,''said she, interrupting her little speech to draw away her hand,''you miss your diamond? 33301 ''Ona,''I cried,''will you marry me?
33301''Ona,''repeated I, for her look was cold,''do you realize what I have been telling you? 33301 ''What is it?''
33301''What will you say to her when she meets you on the borders of heaven?'' 33301 ''You have a lover, have you not?''
33301A discovery,repeated he,"when?"
33301A little talk with a little girl will not hinder you too much, will it?
33301A regular palace, corner of Fifth Avenue and----"All his?
33301Am I a fool?
33301And I am to have mine?
33301And Miss Fairchild?
33301And did she dare to make any comparison between you and her own degraded self?
33301And do these gentleman both assert that?
33301And eat a bit of bread with butter on it?
33301And has he gone?
33301And have those childish enthusiasms quite departed?
33301And he is quite freed from reproach?
33301And if it never is?
33301And if you are not?
33301And is it at the noblest moment of your life that you would shut me away from your side? 33301 And it has been in that condition ever since?"
33301And so you remember me?
33301And that is the last time you have seen him?
33301And the friendship of Miss Stuyvesant is a precious thing to you?
33301And the man himself?
33301And they live there quite alone?
33301And those are?
33301And what did you tell him?
33301And what have I ever done to frighten Mr. Sylvester? 33301 And who are they?"
33301And who gave it to him?
33301And who is that?
33301And who is_ her_?
33301And why do you say this?
33301And why,I gently asked, with a sense of struggling for my life,"can we never be friends?"
33301And with the left?
33301And you accept the cup?
33301And you are actually in earnest?
33301And you believed he recognized you?
33301And you consent to the scheme?
33301And you say that this was Bertram, this gentleman who allowed another man to accuse him of a past dishonesty?
33301And_ do n''t_ speculate?
33301Any one that you know, I mean, or who knows you?
33301Are friends so rare?
33301Are the watchman and the janitor on good terms with one another?
33301Are you a demon?
33301Are you alone?
33301Are you attempting to vie with Mr. Williams, Paula?
33301Are you enjoying yourself so much?
33301Are you going to question Hopgood now?
33301Are you his mother?
33301Art thou mad my Enguerrand?
33301Below par though?
33301But if you do n''t know his name and do n''t know his face, how in the name of all that''s mischievous are you going to know your man?
33301But if--with a pause,"she asks your all, what then?"
33301But is he much injured?
33301But must I?
33301But my name is Clarence?
33301But not the trials, or the pain, or the care?
33301But the boxes are not kept in the safe?
33301But the sense of obligation never fulfilled, would you not be happier if that were removed?
33301But there must be time between the closing and opening of the bank, when the janitor is alone with the vaults?
33301But your duty to your superior; your oath as a member of the force?
33301But,I exclaimed with a wild and unbearable sense of sudden loss as she laid her hand on the knob of the door,"are we to part like this?
33301Can I rely on you, sir?
33301Can anything be wrong?
33301Can not you give us a little air?
33301Can you ask?
33301Can you ask?
33301Can you hold her, can you shield her from the breezes that await?
33301Cicely? 33301 Could you not hasten your story a little Paula?"
33301Dark or light?
33301Did he appear to miss anything from it?
33301Did n''t you ever have any little boys?
33301Did you injure him very much?
33301Did you know that your niece was gifted with rare beauty as well as talents?
33301Did you meet any one?
33301Did you notice how agitated he seemed, Cicely? 33301 Did you read the letter I left for you in my desk up stairs?"
33301Did you ring, sir?
33301Do n''t you see you can save him if you will? 33301 Do you acknowledge yourself a parvenue that you rejoice at the entrance of any one special person into your doors?"
33301Do you believe, Hopgood, that there was anything missing from it?
33301Do you call that hindrance which relieves one from listening to quotations of bank stock at an evening reception?
33301Do you know his companion?
33301Do you know my father?
33301Do you know what it is that makes me feel so?
33301Do you know what was the subject of their disagreement?
33301Do you no longer find a fairy- land in the view up the river?
33301Do you remember ever going to the vaults and not finding some one near you at the time or at least in full view of your movements?
33301Do you think I am so eager for ease and enjoyment, that it will be a burden for me to bear the pain of those I love? 33301 Do you think he will die?"
33301Do you think red looks as well with this black as the lavender would do?
33301Do you think she could fasten a ribbon, or arrange a bow?
33301Does he speak-- say anything? 33301 Does your whole being recoil so from evil, my Paula?
33301Forgive you? 33301 Has he-- do you mean to say that he has visited you in Grotewell?"
33301Has she never heard Mendelssohn?
33301Have not you, aunt?
33301Have the adventures of the day made such an impression upon you that you will not be able to enjoy the evening''s festivities?
33301Have you a taste for it? 33301 Have you ever been away from home?"
33301Have you ever doubted it?
33301Have you seen her, Bertram? 33301 Have you seen him?"
33301Have you such trust as that in his uprightness as a lover, and the guardian of your happiness?
33301Have you that slip of paper which the man gave you before departing?
33301He could not be beguiled or forced by another man to reveal the combination, or to relax his watch over the vaults entrusted to his keeping?
33301Hear the organ, I? 33301 Him?"
33301Hopgood absconded?
33301Hopgood, what do you mean?
33301How came you to take such an interest in this matter; and why did you let the man escape after acknowledging his crime?
33301How can any inquiry be private? 33301 I beg your pardon if I am doing wrong, but papa regards you with such esteem and-- Mr. Sylvester do you know a man by the name of Stadler?"
33301I dare not tell any one, but--What lay beyond that but?
33301I expected him to say,''Shall we not try and see the little fellow, Paula?'' 33301 I ought not to have mentioned it, but you asked me_ when_, and I--""What was this discovery?"
33301I shall not live to whisper,''If she knew my whole life, would she love me so well?''
33301I want Mr. Holt; can you tell me where to find him?
33301I was not forgotten when you left the city streets?
33301I wonder how Dandy would enjoy an empyrean journey?
33301I''m sure, sir, I''m very sorry if I have annoyed you, but do you think Mr. Sylvester will be down at the usual hour?
33301If it is hers, how came she not to know it? 33301 If?"
33301Is Mrs. Fairchild still living?
33301Is he hurt?
33301Is he much hurt?
33301Is it Miss Fairchild?
33301Is it anything serious?
33301Is it for your own sake or for mine, that you make use of that word?
33301Is it you who would counsel me to such a piece of coquetry as that?
33301Is not Mrs. Sylvester with you?
33301Is she not well?
33301Is that Jacqueline Japha?
33301Is there any further action you would like to have taken in regard to this matter to- day?
33301Is there nothing I can do for you?
33301It is a fearful thought to be shut up with the ghost of a vanished past, is it not? 33301 It is a solitary looking place, is n''t it?"
33301It is like a fairy land, is it not?
33301It is not joy I seek,said she,"but--""What?"
33301It is the spirit of beauty, my child, you are moved by the loveliness of the scene; is it a new one to you?
33301It was Mr. Sylvester or it was the devil,proclaimed he--"with all deference to your reason, my good sir; or why are you here?"
33301It was all you anticipated?
33301It will not be too much for me, then, to conclude, that in your present estimation my nephew stands committed to a past dishonesty?
33301It''s snowing, did you know it? 33301 Janitors always are,"observed the detective; then shortly,"How long has_ he_ been with you?"
33301May I ask you to mention what officer of the bank you would like to have go to the vaults?
33301May I ask,she slowly inquired as he moved across the floor,"what is the reason of this sudden interest in poor papa?"
33301May I inquire where you wish to be taken?
33301Might I be so bold,he inquired after a moment,"as to ask you what that was?"
33301Mr. Holt, I believe?
33301Mrs. Fairchild? 33301 No sly- boots among them; how about the janitor, Hopgood?"
33301Not honest?
33301Nothing sir; did I stop you? 33301 O Cicely,"she cried,( she called Miss Stuyvesant, Cicely now)"is it not a delightful evening?"
33301O Miss Paula, what do you think?
33301O what have I done?
33301O who was this you loved so well? 33301 O, Mr. Mandeville''s playing?
33301Of course,laughed he,"or how should I be here?
33301Of that I shall never be satisfied till I see it?
33301Of whom else should it be? 33301 Oh Mr. Ensign,"she murmured,"can you doubt my regard or the truth of my friendship?
33301Oh, will you, do you say, that you think the shadow of this crime has at last found the spot upon which it can rightfully rest?
33301Owns good share of the bank''s stock I presume?
33301Paula, what do you mean?
33301Paula,cried he,"do you believe in repentance?"
33301Paula,exclaimed she,"Paula, do n''t you know your own heart?"
33301Paula,said be,"can you leave these new thoughts for a moment to hear a request I have to make?"
33301Paula,said he, and there was a depth in his tone even she had never heard before,"are these tears for me?"
33301Paula,said she at last,"is that your only reason for desiring to return to New York?"
33301Pretty good at spying out cracks, eh?
33301Sarah, two loops on that dolman to- morrow; do you hear? 33301 Say to them from me?
33301Shall I not take mine ease in mine inn?
33301Shall I telegraph to the house?
33301She bestowed upon me a little pout, and half mockingly, half earnestly inquired,''What kind of a house are you going to put me in? 33301 She does not oblige you, then?"
33301She is bright, I am certain, and ribbon- tying is not such a very difficult art, is it?
33301Since my marriage?
33301Since you are of that opinion,said the tyrant to him one day,"will you taste and make proof of my felicity in person?"
33301So Sylvester has left Wall Street?
33301Sports horses and carriage I suppose?
33301Stands Scotland where it did?
33301The box was locked by you? 33301 The janitor lives in the building, I suppose?"
33301The janitor, then, has free access to the boxes at all times, night and day?
33301The janitor, you say, knows the combination by which the vault doors are opened?
33301The mystery was not cleared up when she came to me that night with a short,''How do you like my lover, Margery?'' 33301 The one who plays upon the piano?"
33301The vaults then as far as you know, are safe when once they are closed for the night?
33301The watchman has been at his post every night up to the usual hour?
33301The woman for whom you have conceived this violent attachment is, then, above you in social position?
33301Then it is my words alone that have awakened this doubt, this apprehension?
33301There has been no carelessness in closing the vault doors after the departure of the clerks?
33301There is something underlying all this,said he,"what is it?"
33301There is then something you have not written me?
33301They have come to see father,she thought"and--"Ah what, Cicely?
33301They straggle-- eh?
33301Think? 33301 Those men did not mention any names?"
33301Thou who pratest of thy power to protect her to the death, What think''st thou now of Sassard and the wind''s aspiring breath?
33301Uncle, what is it?
33301Unworthy?
33301Was I deceived, or did a sable cloud Turn forth her silver lining on the night?
33301Was any one near you then?
33301Was nurse the woman who came for me?
33301Was the other man with whom he was talking, as dark and foreign as himself?
33301Was this written by a child or woman?
33301Well, Hopgood, what is it?
33301Well, Hopgood, you look anxious; do you want to speak to me?
33301Well, little one, what have you been doing to- day?
33301Well, my good woman, what do you want?
33301Well, uncle?
33301Were you so anxious about me, little one?
33301What did you say?
33301What do you allude to?
33301What do you mean?
33301What do you think of my judgment, Stadler?
33301What do you think of the watchman, Fanning?
33301What doth gravity out of his bed at midnight?
33301What has happened?
33301What have I done?
33301What house was it from which you were coming when he passed you?
33301What is his salary?
33301What is it?
33301What is it?
33301What is the matter with you to- day, Hopgood? 33301 What is this I hear?"
33301What kind of a looking man was he?
33301What seems to you?
33301What shall I say for you to the grim, city streets when I get back?
33301What time was that?
33301What was I thinking of?
33301What were the numbers of the bonds found missing, if you please?
33301What would life be without them?
33301What, why do you say that?
33301What?
33301What?
33301What?
33301When was it I lost my diamond ear- ring? 33301 When was that, sir?
33301When what?
33301Where does he say his father is?
33301Where is he?
33301Where is he?
33301Where is my daughter?
33301Where were you standing at the time?
33301Where''s my poor boy?
33301Which is seven o''clock, I believe?
33301Who are you, and how do you know this?
33301Who are you?
33301Who does?
33301Who is that talking with Miss Stuyvesant?
33301Who talks about dismissing you?
33301Who told me?
33301Who told you I had a secret?
33301Who''s this?
33301Why do you like to have me come to your house?
33301Why does he not come?
33301Why is it that I frequently hesitate as I go up the stairs and look about me with a vague feeling of apprehension? 33301 Will he let me go without a word?"
33301Will he let me go without a word?
33301Will it be a great shock to you, if I tell you that the name of the woman for whom Bertram made the sacrifice of his art, was Cicely Stuyvesant?
33301Will you be kind enough to ring the bell the first moment he seems to be at leisure? 33301 Will you come, sir?"
33301Will you do it, Paula?
33301Will you in the meantime look over the morning paper?
33301Will you lend me your arm for a minute?
33301Would he be down to dinner? 33301 Would not your fears let you rest?"
33301Yacht, opera box?
33301Yes,returned Paula,"why do you ask?"
33301Yes,she murmured, standing still with great heart- beats of joy, or was it pain?
33301Yes; is not that the talk at the bank?
33301Yet you tell me you love the city?
33301You agree with me, then, that Hopgood is absolutely to be relied upon?
33301You are glad, then, of your little Christmas present?
33301You are going to give up music, and for-- for--"You?
33301You are positively assured these bonds were all in the box when you last locked it?
33301You are, then, one of the few women who believe in friendship?
33301You do not despise me then,he exclaimed"My sin has not utterly blotted me out of your regard?"
33301You do not know it, then?
33301You had then become fond of your cousin?
33301You have read it,he cried,"and yet could follow me into that den of unknown dangers at an hour like this, and with no other guide than Bertram?"
33301You have then been in the habit of visiting New York?
33301You know that, do you not, Paula?
33301You know what all this means?
33301You love him, then, very dearly, Paula?
33301You love the country, Miss Fairchild?
33301You please me,murmured the woman,"you please me; will you come and see me and let me tell you a story to mate the poem you have given us to- night?"
33301You really want to see the woman, then; enough to pay for it, I mean?
33301You remembered me, then, sometimes in the little cottage in Grotewell?
33301You still adhere to your intention, then, of forwarding to Mr. Stuyvesant at that hour, the sealed communication now in the hands of your lawyer?
33301You then advise me to leave him alone?
33301You will take me, wo n''t you?
33301You will?
33301You wo n''t hurt me; you''ll let me sit by the fire and get warm?
33301You, Paula?
33301Your papa is sometimes hard, is he not, Cicely?
33301_ When_ was he here last?
33301''Did my young mother shriek from joy, when my father''s horses ran away with them along that deadly precipice at the side of the Southmore road?
33301''Do for her?''
33301''Do you remember the gentleman who came with him on his last visit?
33301''Do you see that man?''
33301''Do you suppose I will let such a little fuss as that deter me?''
33301''Do you think I care for any such petty_ fuss_ as that?''
33301''Do you think she loves him?''
33301''Do you think,''the same voice went on,''that I do not know where the five thousand dollars came from which you gave me for that first speculation?
33301''Either you are gone mad, or else-- Who wrote these lines?''
33301''He holds the destinies of the Japhas in his hand, does he not?''
33301''I do n''t know you,''said I;''what business can you have with me?''
33301''I have nursed his daughter on my knee; tell me, then, what it is he has ordered you to do in this final moment?''
33301''Is he hurt?''
33301''Is he your lover, Jacqueline?
33301''She is going-- you believe she is going to meet him?''
33301''Then you are willing,''said he,''that I should repeat this story to one of the directors of your bank, whom I know?''
33301''What was there about that day that I should remember it?''
33301''Will you do what I request?''
33301''Will you step into some place where it is warm and find out?''
33301''You talk of love, what do you know of it, what does he know of it, who saw his young wife die, yet himself consented to live?
33301( Why do gentlemen always consult their watches even in the face of the clock?)
33301*****"Bertram?"
33301*****"Will he let me go without a word?"
33301A dim remembrance, a certain ghostly assurance that we had reached the right spot?
33301A past remorse?
33301A revelation awaiting her in Mr. Sylvester''s desk up stairs?
33301A strain of innate weakness for the world''s good opinion and applause?
33301A suggestion or a remembrance?
33301A word, a sentence between them, the interchange of a couple of songs, and-- What else that I could communicate to another?
33301Ah, was not their language expressive enough, without this new suggestion?
33301Am I not right, Miss Stuyvesant?"
33301Am I right, sir?"
33301And Cicely?
33301And I am so much of a one that I stick by him to the death, do n''t you see?"
33301And Mr. Sylvester?
33301And had she?
33301And he raised his hand above his head, with a supreme and awful gesture,''a father''s blessing or a father''s curse?''
33301And so when Paula whispered to herself,"I did not dare to tell him; I did not dare to tell any one, but--"she thought of those terrible words,"Die?
33301And what will you reply?''
33301And why did she leave you?"
33301Appeal to her, or warn her father of the frightful peril in which his honor and happiness stood?
33301Are we to believe you have fully considered the question, and realize the importance of what you say?"
33301Are you going to marry him?''
33301Are you going to test your hope, to- night?"
33301As if something here was hungry, do n''t you know?"
33301At length, in a low and trembling voice, Paula spoke:"Is it murder, when the flower loves the dark of the dungeon more than it does the light of day?"
33301Aunty, can you wonder that Mr. Sylvester looks so bitterly sombre whenever mention is made of his child?
33301Bertram, I think I shall give a German next month, will you come?
33301But had she given it?''
33301But how?
33301But perhaps you think I inhabit these woods?"
33301But stop, Paula; is n''t this the place where I found you that day, and you showed me the view up the river?"
33301But what were we talking about?"
33301But who can trust a silver mine?
33301But who is this?"
33301But why this house- front above all others; what was there in it to make such an impression?
33301By the way, I wonder if it will be pleasant enough to take the horses out to- morrow?
33301Can I count on you, child?
33301Can it be that such words have been uttered every week of my life and I in ignorance of them?
33301Can not you do so now?"
33301Can the embraces of a serpent bring peace?
33301Can you give me any information that will assist us in our search after the culprit?"
33301Can you have anything of real importance on your mind; anything connected with my uncle?"
33301Can you understand a man hating a woman, yet obeying her; despising her, yet yielding?
33301Come my child, do you want to read the communication which I received last night?
33301Could a merry laugh lure her while he stood by?
33301Could it be Paula?
33301Could it be that the carriage had not been turned around while I was in the house, and that we had come back by way of Fifth Avenue?
33301Could she have been thinking of him?
33301Could the very house I lived in be said to be my own, while a Japha existed in want?
33301Did she recognize in me the friend I now hope to become?
33301Did you notice how she looked at me?
33301Did you receive such a one?"
33301Did you suppose I did not know what it cost you to marry me?
33301Did you try the oysters, Paula?
33301Do these languid women carry venom in their tongues?
33301Do we forget the dagger that has struck us?
33301Do you know her?"
33301Do you know of an opening?"
33301Do you see him, sir?
33301Do you see that board nailed across the front door?"
33301Do you see that star?''
33301Do you see what I mean?
33301Do you think any one could mistake the nature of Miss Stuyvesant''s feelings, who saw her last night?"
33301Do you think she loves him?''
33301Do you want me to tell you a secret?"
33301Do you want to be convinced?"
33301Do you want to know what that conversation was?''
33301Do you want to see Paula?"
33301Does hypocrisy win love?
33301Does that content you?"
33301Edward, is there nothing of all the past that still rests upon you like a shadow?
33301Ever heard him speak?"
33301Fine, is n''t it?"
33301Friendship is a wide portal, and sometimes admits love; had it served her traitorously in this?
33301Had he failed in his expressions of devotion?
33301Had it not all been built upon another man''s means?
33301Had the hot soul of our motherless child rushed upon ice, and in the shock of the dreadful chill, fallen inert?
33301Had you stayed but as long as the bee pauses on an oleander blossom, you would have heard--_ Nita._--Buzzing, signior?
33301Has Jacqueline returned?
33301Has he much family?"
33301Has heaven then sent me the aid my failing spirits demand?
33301Has this frightful occurrence made her ill, or does she bear up with fortitude under the shock of this sudden calamity?"
33301Has-- has my hope come true at last?
33301Have you any commands for me?"
33301Have you child?"
33301Have you told Mr. Ensign of our adventure?"
33301He glanced sternly at the trembling janitor, and uttered a short,"Well?"
33301He has asked himself if his life''s book is quite closed to the higher joys of existence?
33301He summoned up his courage, met that searching glance with all its wild, bewildering beauty, and responded,"Can you ask, Paula?"
33301He was pushing something from him, but what?
33301His answer to my plea was:"''Well, how much money have you to show?''
33301His every glance was a question as to whether this great joy, for which he had so long and patiently waited, was to be his?
33301His eyes-- did you notice his eyes?
33301Holt?''
33301How could that be?
33301How could you manage to deceive such a woman as that?"
33301How much do you suppose Mrs. Sylvester is worth as she stands, diamonds you know, and all that?"
33301How was I to let her know that a comfortable living awaited her if she would only return to her friends and home?
33301I have been obliged to go to Brooklyn, to--""But you have found him?"
33301I remember asking myself as I stood there, what it all amounted to?
33301I will try and be worthy--"He paused,"Will you come, Paula?"
33301If I were to call upon you to perform a son''s work for me; to obey and ask no questions, would you comply?"
33301If there had been a bond or so here, I doubt if we should have come off so fortunately, eh?
33301If there were dark pages in his life, had they not long ago been closed and sealed, and was not the future bright with promise?
33301In what room shall I find him?"
33301Is love a sitting by the fire with hand locked in hand while the winter winds rage and the droning kettle sings?
33301Is my niece well?"
33301Is she such a guide as I would choose for a young girl just entering a new sphere in life?
33301Is that enough for me to say to my dearest friend?''
33301Is the poor child quite prostrated?
33301Is there anything more you would like to inquire into before giving us the opinion I requested?"
33301Is your belief in the redeeming power of God as great as your recoil from the wrong that makes that redemption necessary?"
33301It was a strange conversation for me to overhear, was it not?"
33301It was, then, the number of a house; but what house?
33301Looking down on the frightened child, she hissed out from between her teeth,"Did he tell you to ask me that?
33301Mandeville?"
33301Margery Hamlin is waiting for you, you know?"
33301May I rely upon you?"
33301Meantime--""Well?"
33301Meanwhile how was it with her dearest friend and confident, Paula?
33301Miss Fairchild will you be my friend?"
33301Mr. Sylvester and his wife exchanged looks, then the former asked,"Did she follow you, Paula?"
33301Not one little regret you could wish taken away?"
33301Now, why Wall Street?"
33301O Miss, do you think he can be going to give all those beautiful things to you?"
33301O what is this mystery that brings such a doom of anguish to this poor heart?"
33301Oh, has my poor, lost, erring child come back?"
33301On what day and at what hour of the day, if you please?"
33301Paula, are you too tired for a ride down town?
33301President of the Madison Bank sounds very well, does it not, Paula?"
33301Roger Holt,_ where is Jacqueline Japha_?"
33301Shall I part with either of them just to satisfy your curiosity?"
33301Shall I tell her you are coming out?"
33301Shall a stranger''s love be greater than a father''s?''
33301Shall one complain because it has fallen to his portion to have the lesser share?
33301She trusted him, but did she love him?
33301She will ask,''Where is my child?''
33301Speak then, which shall it be?''
33301Speak; you write of faithfulness with a pen of fire, is your heart faithful too?"
33301Stuyvesant?"
33301Stuyvesant?"
33301Such faces are rare outside of art, Miss Belinda; was Mrs. Fairchild a handsome woman?"
33301Suddenly Mr. Sylvester spoke:"Why do you not look at your pretty present, Paula?"
33301Suddenly a hand was laid on her arm and a low voice whispered in her ear,"Did you write that poem yourself?"
33301Sylvester?"
33301Sylvester?"
33301Sylvester?"
33301Sylvester?"
33301Sylvester?"
33301Sylvester?"
33301Sylvester?"
33301Sylvester?"
33301Sylvester?"
33301Sylvester?"
33301That I purpose leaving the concert- room for the banker''s office and that henceforth my only ambition promises to be that of Wall Street?"
33301That is all that you require of me to- day?"
33301That is if you judge it advisable in me to tamper with the subject unassisted?"
33301That is really her own child that lies there?"
33301The brat can make you speak, can he?
33301The janitor, then, is the only man besides yourselves, who under any circumstances or for any reason, could get at those boxes after business hours?"
33301The name on his card is Cummins; I am afraid I shall have to admit him, that is, if you have no objection?"
33301The paper rustled in Mr. Sylvester''s grasp, but his voice was composed if not formal, as he observed,"She regards his attentions then with favor?"
33301The question was, then, should I make a choice?
33301The tree of knowledge bears two kinds of fruit, Miss Belinda; would you therefore hinder the child from approaching its branches?"
33301The words rang long in my ears; why?
33301Then as the other bowed, added carelessly,"I have something to say to Jessup; will you see that he steps here for a moment?"
33301Then politely,"Do you expect to make the change soon?"
33301Then suddenly,''You are a rich man, are you not?
33301Then while both voices joined in a merry laugh, she continued,"But where have we strayed?
33301Then with a fervor I did not seek to disguise,"You say we can not be friends; would your decision be the same if this were our first meeting?"
33301Then with a touch of his usual formal manner intended to restore her to herself,"Do you like study, Paula?"
33301Then without preamble,"Have you seen her?"
33301Then, archly for her,''And papa has given his consent?''
33301There is no doubt about that fact?"
33301There is some one else--""But he has not spoken?"
33301There was something in her face that made him ask:"Is that a favorite picture of yours?"
33301They live in a handsome house I suppose?"
33301Through what communication was born this secret hope?
33301To- night-- Well, Bertram, what is it?"
33301Turning to the silent figure of Holt, he touched him on the arm and said with a gesture in her direction:"You have not deceived the woman?
33301Was he hard or cold or severe, under all that pleasant and charming manner?
33301Was it because he did not love her?
33301Was it so serious?"
33301Was it that I showed my surprise too plainly, or did my admiration manifest itself in my gaze?
33301Was it the tone of his voice that chilled her, or the studied aspect of his fixed and solemn countenance?
33301Was she more of a woman than he imagined, and would she be, though in the most superficial of ways, a mother to Paula?
33301Was the ride all that your fancy painted?"
33301Was this pleasantry only a veil assumed by this courtly lady to hide her very natural regret over the more serious accident?
33301What are you doing here?"
33301What could it mean?
33301What did it mean?
33301What did it mean?
33301What did it mean?
33301What do I know of its secret springs or the terrors that disturb its even beatings?
33301What do you think of the setting of these diamonds?"
33301What does this mean?
33301What has happened to make my uncle''s detention a matter of such apparent import?
33301What has luxury to do with death?
33301What is it?"
33301What is the name of the doubt that disturbs that pure breast and affects your choice?
33301What shall I say?
33301What shall touch this soul?
33301What should I do?
33301What was it that stopped him half- way, and made him look back with such a startled glance at the man he had left behind him?
33301What was there in its aspect that dimly excited me at the first glance?
33301What was there in that_ no_ that made the other look up?
33301What was there to hinder him from making the existence of this sweet soul a walking amongst gentle duties, satisfied dreams and holy aspirations?
33301What were the thoughts which could thus detain from his comfortable bed a man already tired with manifold cares?
33301What were you thinking of, Paula?"
33301What will make it clean again?"
33301What will you do for this miserable child of whose being you are the author?''
33301What will you do in this wicked world?
33301What will you say to the sinner when you meet him-- as you must?"
33301Whence then came this rapture?
33301Where is my uncle, can I see him?"
33301Where shall she find such love?
33301Where was I to find this wanderer?
33301Who could meet Clarence Ensign''s laughing eye and not smile?
33301Who is the man to attend to those boxes?
33301Whom have you told of this occurrence beside myself?"
33301Why a spot of so much desolation in the midst of so much that was lordly and luxurious?
33301Why did he not notify us at once of a loss so important for us to know?"
33301Why did she recoil and glance back at Mrs. Hamlin with that startled and apprehensive look?
33301Why had he not taken it in the deeper and more important matter?
33301Why is it that with such talents as you possess, you did n''t stay in the police force?
33301Why should I feel as if I must be sure of the exact date before I slept?"
33301Why should he not be happy?
33301Why, then, all this hesitation?
33301Why?
33301Why?
33301Will you assume the risk and brave the consequences?"
33301Will you be it?
33301Will you do it, Bertram?"
33301Will you listen?''
33301Will you not at least trust me with your name before I go?"
33301Will you object to that?"
33301Will you pardon me if I ask you to give me your hand in good- day?"
33301Will you tell me where she is, sir?"
33301Will you undertake the task?"
33301Will you-- can you forgive me?"
33301With that uncontrollable will of hers, she was capable of anything; did she intend to break with Robert, now that she had seen Roger?
33301With this glorious woman at his side, life would be new indeed, and if new why not pure and sweet and noble?
33301Wo n''t you let these good women lay you on a bed, and do what they can to bind up your poor blistered arms?"
33301Would it be too inquisitive in me to ask what good news the little note contained, to work such wonders?"
33301Would it make you happy to hear such music as your aunt tells about?"
33301Would you have me sacrifice that?''
33301Would you like an examination made of their condition?"
33301Would you like to see them, sir?"
33301Would you not find it easier to meet Mr. Ensign when he comes?"
33301Yet a lie is an inconvenient thing to have uttered against you at any time, and I may want to see you again; if I do, where shall I find you?''
33301Yet no, or who is this that calm and dignified, steps at this moment from the threshold?
33301Yet the thought is exhilarating too; do n''t you find it so?"
33301Yet what should we see if its doors were thrown open?
33301Yet what thoughts had he ever cherished in walking the busy streets, save those connected with his own selfish hopes and fears, plans and operations?
33301You can call on Jacqueline now?
33301You can see me now, can you?
33301You have a living grief, Paula, what is it?"
33301You have not relaxed your accustomed vigilance, or left the bank alone at any time during the hours it is under your charge?"
33301You have seen Aunt Belinda?"
33301You remember the afternoon of February, the twenty- fifth, two years ago?''
33301You say you adore him: can one adore falsehood, selfishness and depravity?
33301You see I speak frankly, Miss Belinda; will you give me some token that you are not altogether dissatisfied with the result of this conversation?"
33301You will not deny me, Miss Fairchild?"
33301You wo n''t allow your enjoyment to be clouded by my hasty departure, will you?"
33301_ Martino._(_ Taps his poiniard with his hand._)--Would you have it come now, and so prove me true to my word?
33301_ Martino._--Shall I not, lady?
33301_ Nita._(_ With a start_).--A kiss, Signior Martino?
33301_ Nita._--''Tis hard to believe it possible, yet who can tell?
33301_ Nita._--Dost think to reach it?
33301_ Nita._--Have you tried them, signior, that you speak so knowingly concerning them?
33301_ Oph._--What means this, my lord?
33301a_ chateau en Espagne_ or a_ bona fide_ New York dwelling, which for some reason had unconsciously impressed itself upon my memory?
33301and his body, poor weazen little thing, looks as if it had drawn sustenance from mine, do n''t it?
33301and you have money, I suppose, which you propose to risk on the hazard?"
33301anything in short, that excited your suspicion or caused you to ask yourself if everything was as it should be?"
33301anything wrong about the boxes kept there?
33301are you going into the banking business?"
33301broke in Mr. Sylvester,"if this is true, why did n''t Hopgood inform me of the matter when I questioned him so closely?"
33301cried the young man, entering with considerable agitation,"Mrs. Sylvester dead?"
33301give up this elegant home, my horses and carriage, the friends I have had such difficulty in obtaining, and the position which I was born to adorn?
33301have you never thought of her and the demands that she makes on the time and attention even of the worshippers of the good and the true?"
33301my Cicely?"
33301said I calling to Briggs with a kindly look at the old woman,"help me on with my coat, will you?"
33301said she,"you have been to the cottage?
33301she cried, quivering under the torture of his glance;"how can I?
33301she proceeded;"the portly, highly pompous- looking gentleman with the gold eye- glasses?
33301shrieked the woman, hugging herself in her long cloak and laughing with fiendish sarcasm:"I look like his mother, do n''t I?
33301the man himself has discerned it, is on his feet, is at the window, has seen what?
33301then cried cruel Sassard with his foot upon the stair,"Have I come to thee, my boaster?"
33301they are just like mine, are n''t they?
33301thought I to myself;"my little innocent charmer is an embryo aristocrat, eh?
33301to the hurried question of Despair, Where is my child?--and Echo answers-- Where?"
33301what?"
33301why that means-- O what does it mean?"
35247''And beautiful?'' 35247 ''And you did?''
35247''And you''re still sure,''I asked him after a while,''that no strangers went into the Lawrence house yesterday morning?'' 35247 ''But where has she been?''
35247''Can you flag this train for me, John?'' 35247 ''So,''I asked at last,''you''ve found her?''
35247''That impossible ideal?'' 35247 ''The woman you were looking for?''
35247''Well?'' 35247 A letter?"
35247A mistake? 35247 A note?"
35247A person, then, may be sane as regards some things, and insane as regards others?
35247Addressed to me?
35247Ah-- she did?
35247And Boyd Endicott''s cousins?
35247And Ruth?
35247And could they tell you anything?
35247And did he find her?
35247And found an answer to it?
35247And go to the Kingdon house?
35247And he is dead?
35247And her dressing- table was a very conspicuous place?
35247And how are they succeeding?
35247And no light as to the identity of the victim?
35247And no reason was ever given for this generosity on Mrs. Lawrence''s part?
35247And now that you understand the matter,he continued,"I suppose you see it in a different light?"
35247And searched for her?
35247And she did not return?
35247And she had on her wedding- gown when she went downstairs?
35247And she helped on the wedding- day?
35247And she''s the''ideal''Curtiss imagined he''d found?
35247And that was?
35247And that''s what we''re going after?
35247And the first affair is as deep a mystery as ever?
35247And the women?
35247And then?
35247And there was only one child of this marriage?
35247And they are Mrs. Endicott''s nieces?
35247And they were present at the church, were n''t they?
35247And what are you doing here?
35247And what did she say?
35247And what did she tell you?
35247And what, in law, is considered insanity-- what is the test for it?
35247And who is she?
35247And why do you come here?
35247And yet she concealed this?
35247And you believe Marcia Lawrence met him here?
35247And you came at once to New York?
35247And you came straight here?
35247And you did n''t see this note?
35247And you expect to make them so?
35247And you had no warning?
35247And you say she seemed quite as usual?
35247And you say that you expected to stay there again to- night?
35247And you think she went of her own free will?
35247And you will let it wreck two lives?
35247And you''ll be back soon?
35247And you''ll tell me?
35247And you''ve always found her perfectly trustworthy?
35247And your exits and entrances are, I suppose, usually by the window?
35247And your family history?
35247Anything else?
35247Are those my trousers?
35247Are you Mrs. Lawrence''s maid?
35247Are you a reporter?
35247Are you going to make it public?
35247At least, you''ll hardly advise now that I keep silent?
35247At the last moment?
35247At the last moment?
35247Best? 35247 Born there?"
35247Both she and her daughter are members of your church?
35247But how do you know all this?
35247But how?
35247But if the marriage be really impossible?
35247But she was there?
35247But the boy,I asked;"where was he?"
35247But the maid?
35247But to find her-- how can I do that? 35247 But what good will it do?"
35247But what was the motive of it all?
35247But who''s t''e murderer?
35247But whose grave?
35247But why did she do it?
35247But why?
35247But wo n''t it disturb Miss Kingdon?
35247But you did n''t search the house nor the grounds?
35247But you suspect?
35247But you''ve cleared up the mystery of the murder?
35247But you''ve heard from her?
35247But,and he glanced again at my card apprehensively,"you are not a-- reporter?"
35247Can I be of any help?
35247Can you give me any description of the person who sent this message?
35247Can you tell me what these characters mean?
35247Cease? 35247 Clearer?"
35247Concealed?
35247Connected with this affair?
35247Did he see him come out again?
35247Did she paint anything else?
35247Did she really paint it?
35247Did you call, ma''am?
35247Did you ever hear any explanation of Harriet Kingdon''s madness?
35247Did you notice anything peculiar in her behaviour?
35247Did you see?
35247Do I understand you to say Miss Lawrence is n''t your daughter?
35247Do n''t you remember her mother''s last words to me? 35247 Do n''t you see it?
35247Do n''t you? 35247 Do you believe Lucy Kingdon knew anything about it?"
35247Do you believe that theory now?
35247Do you believe that?
35247Do you remember what time it was when you called Miss Lawrence down to have a last look at the decorations?
35247Do you think I''m such a coward as that-- to stand back, not offering to help?
35247Does it remind you of any one?
35247Favoured it?
35247For Elizabeth?
35247Guilty of what?
35247Has Mrs. Lawrence favoured your suit for her daughter''s hand?
35247Hass she fainted?
35247Have you an enemy in New York who might try to do you an injury? 35247 Have you got a revolver?"
35247Have you money enough?
35247He was to have performed the ceremony?
35247Her children?
35247Here on business?
35247Home?
35247Hoped?
35247Hopes?
35247How are you going about it?
35247How could it be? 35247 How did you get so dirty?"
35247How did you happen to be passing the house at that time?
35247How did you happen to find it?
35247How do I know this is really your name?
35247How do you know she never saw him? 35247 How do you know that?"
35247How is Miss Kingdon?
35247How long has Mrs. Lawrence been a widow?
35247How long will it take?
35247How many deliveries do you make a day out here?
35247How was Miss Lawrence dressed when you saw her?
35247How was she affected?
35247How? 35247 I admit that; but whether this was one of them----""Does n''t it look as if it was?"
35247I came home about half an hour ago,she began,"or perhaps it''s longer than that----""Was your sister expecting you?"
35247I suppose you helped Miss Lawrence to dress?
35247I was passing the house and saw a light----"Where?
35247I-- I do n''t think I quite understand,he faltered,"You-- you''re speaking of Marcia?"
35247In a different light?
35247In the West?
35247In the cellar?
35247In what way?
35247Incredible? 35247 Is it necessary?"
35247Is it so important as all that?
35247Is not that enough?
35247Is that any of your business?
35247Is the maid an old servant?
35247Is this where the inquest will be held?
35247It seems incredible, does n''t it?
35247It was about that time this morning?
35247It was here you found the letter?
35247It was lying in plain sight?
35247It was on her dressing- table, I believe?
35247Kind to them?
35247May I see the record, doctor? 35247 May I speak to your operator?"
35247Meet her?
35247Miss Lawrence is n''t here?
35247Miss Lawrence probably left it where she thought it would be most quickly seen, do n''t you think so?
35247Miss Lawrence was not here then?
35247More devoted than you?
35247Moving back and forth?
35247Mrs. Lawrence does n''t object, then, to your leaving it open?
35247Mrs. Lawrence knew it, then?
35247Mrs. Lawrence,I asked,"what reason have you to believe that your daughter left the house?"
35247Mrs. Lawrence,I began,"has any possible explanation of your daughter''s flight occurred to you?"
35247My sister?
35247No question of a mistake, I hope?
35247No trace of the watch?
35247Nor closet nor chest into which she could have accidentally locked herself?
35247Nor suspected that there was anything amiss?
35247Not a very savoury locality, is it, doctor?
35247Not a woman to be carried away by a moment''s passion?
35247Not a woman who would jump at a conclusion?
35247Not bad news, I hope?
35247Not concealed in any way-- nothing lying over it?
35247Not connected with the deplorable affair of to- day, I hope?
35247Nothing in his clothes-- no letter, or anything of that sort?
35247Oh, is it you, Godfrey?
35247Oh-- you tried to get in, did you?
35247Or is it merely a fairy tale?
35247Peculiar? 35247 Really?"
35247See it? 35247 She did not seem sad nor depressed?"
35247She discovered you in the cellar?
35247She has lived here ever since?
35247She is not in this house?
35247She left no message for you?
35247She was deeply devoted to Miss Lawrence, was n''t she?
35247She was in the habit of coming to you with her troubles?
35247She''s a widow?
35247Since there_ was_ something amiss, why did your daughter not confide in you?
35247So you convinced Mrs. Lawrence that you and your sister were not guilty?
35247Somet''ing else to show me?
35247Something else? 35247 Suppose we say sudden insanity?"
35247The message was filed at the Christopher Street office,I said,"Christopher and West streets----""West Street?"
35247The side door was unlocked?
35247The story, whatever it is, is bound to be public property in a few days, I suppose?
35247The story?
35247The''other fellows,''I suppose, are your esteemed contemporaries?
35247Then how do you explain the presence of the letter on the dresser?
35247Then it was n''t she who told you the cause of her disappearance?
35247Then it''s not_ impossible_ that she should be his wife?
35247Then she_ is_ here?
35247Then what is Miss Kingdon doing in the cellar?
35247Then what possible reason could she have for deserting him? 35247 Then you did n''t find her?"
35247Then you do n''t mind? 35247 Then you know why your daughter left so suddenly?"
35247Then you know?
35247Then you think she really sailed?
35247Then, in your opinion, she could n''t have had anything to do with this disappearance-- advised it, perhaps assisted in it?
35247There are others,she had said,"who have waived their rights and torn their hearts and withered in silence----"What had she meant by that?
35247There has been no cloud?
35247There''s no doubt that Miss Lawrence wrote this?
35247There''s no pit or hole or trap or anything of that sort into which she could have fallen?
35247They lived in New York?
35247This is Miss Kingdon?
35247This is Mr. Lester, is n''t it?
35247This is the dressing- table, is n''t it?
35247This record was shown to the husband, I suppose?
35247To find out?
35247Walk into the lion''s jaws? 35247 Warning?"
35247Was Mr. Lawrence living at the time?
35247Was it made accidentally?
35247Was it so bad as that?
35247Was it something else?
35247Was n''t she in the yard?
35247Was there any one else in the hall?
35247Was your sister here at the time?
35247Well, and after that?
35247Well, and who was she?
35247Well, what is n''t it, then?
35247Well?
35247Well?
35247Well?
35247Well?
35247Were he and Miss Jarvis already married? 35247 Were you able to help him out?"
35247Were you in time?
35247What did Mrs. Lawrence do?
35247What did he want?
35247What did she say? 35247 What do you know of her?"
35247What has happened?
35247What is it, Lester?
35247What is it? 35247 What is this mystery?"
35247What on earth was she doing there?
35247What significance did they have?
35247What time did the_ Umbria_ sail?
35247What time in the morning?
35247What time was that?
35247What was he doing in the West?
35247What was it, then?
35247What was it?
35247What was that?
35247What was the colour of the gown?
35247What were you doing there?
35247What will you do for clothes?
35247What would we better do? 35247 What''s t''at on your hand?"
35247What''s the matter, old fellow?
35247What''s up? 35247 When did you learn that something was wrong?"
35247When did you meet Miss Lawrence?
35247When did you see your mistress last?
35247When she left you, did she return upstairs?
35247When''s the next train to New York?
35247Where are you going?
35247Where could I search? 35247 Where does she live?"
35247Where is she?
35247Where was it from?
35247Where will you go?
35247Where''s my jailer?
35247Where''s t''e guilty party?
35247Whether she did or not, who would kill her, and why?
35247Which letter?
35247Who did you think it was?
35247Who lives in that cottage back yonder?
35247Who painted it?
35247Who sent the message?
35247Who took the mail?
35247Who was it?
35247Who was t''at feller who told me to come here?
35247Who was that?
35247Who''s there?
35247Whose is it? 35247 Whose is it?"
35247Whose revolver is it?
35247Why did you do that?
35247Why should I have done that when Mrs. Lawrence had already done it thoroughly?
35247Why should she get up in the middle of the night, like that, and hang herself? 35247 Why,"she said at last,"what else could she have done?
35247Why?
35247Will you tell me just what happened?
35247With a train?
35247With an invited list of guests?
35247Wo n''t you tell me about it?
35247Yes,I agreed;"yes-- and yet, how explain his presence here?
35247Yes,I encouraged him, for he seemed to have come to a full stop;"and then?"
35247Yes-- what then?
35247Yes; what was this recess for, Miss Kingdon?
35247You believed, then, that Miss Lawrence was really concerned in this murder?
35247You could see nothing?
35247You do n''t know Miss Lawrence?
35247You have no brothers or sisters?
35247You knew Mr. Lawrence, of course?
35247You know why she left me?
35247You mean the wedding that did n''t come off?
35247You mean these things had been removed?
35247You persist in that farce?
35247You really do n''t know?
35247You remained behind in the room?
35247You think it best to go?
35247You think so?
35247You think the photograph would have made the mystery clearer?
35247You thought it worth while to return?
35247You were at the church,I asked,"when you heard that Miss Lawrence had disappeared?"
35247You were given a place on the road at once?
35247You''ve had no word from her?
35247You''ve news for him?
35247You''ve not been down here for some days, I take it, Miss Kingdon?
35247Your daughter was mistaken?
35247Your room is near hers?
35247''How does it happen she was left for you?''
35247''Why is n''t she a queen, then; or a duchess, at least?''
35247Above all, why had Mrs. Lawrence permitted the courtship to go on?
35247And how had it been possible for the other inmates of the house to sleep on undisturbed through all that commotion?
35247And now,"he added,"what shall I do?
35247And she-- was it the same with her?
35247And what other line lay open?
35247And yet, what possible connection could she have with the mystery which I had started to investigate?
35247And you?"
35247Are the papers in the Griffin case ready?"
35247Are you sure it was n''t a letter?"
35247As soon as you have any news you''ll wire me?"
35247Besides, in that case, why should Miss Lawrence flee?
35247Besides, what could even the most unscrupulous enemy have written?
35247But I loved the child-- I had none of my own-- I wanted to protect my husband''s memory-- Where was the sin in----""Where is she?"
35247But Miss Lawrence was n''t an emotional woman?"
35247But how came it here, crushed into a corner of this chair?
35247But if they, indeed, had so avenged themselves, would she have fled to them for refuge?
35247But on what grounds?"
35247But what were they doing?
35247But what_ could_ they be?
35247But where was the bride?
35247But who had written the letter?
35247But who was Ruth Endicott?"
35247But why had he needed aid, when he himself was so clear- sighted, so ready- witted, so fertile of resource?
35247But why should it be impossible?
35247But why should that pictured face seem so familiar?
35247But why was it impossible?
35247But why?"
35247But you''ll not refuse me?"
35247By lurking around the house like a thief, and following women?"
35247By the way, who''s this fellow Godfrey, who sent you that message?"
35247Cases that stay here that length of time are n''t very common, are they?"
35247Could I be wrong in my estimate of her, after all?
35247Could any good come of reviving it?
35247Could it be, I asked myself again, that this thing had been deliberately arranged?
35247Could she refuse such an offer as that?
35247Could you hear anything?"
35247Curtiss?"
35247Curtiss?"
35247Curtiss?"
35247Did Miss Kingdon mention it when she saw you this morning?"
35247Did n''t you hear the shot?"
35247Did she already see the fatal error of that step?
35247Did she die?"
35247Did she hit you?"
35247Did she regret that she had fled?
35247Did she take you for burglars?"
35247Did you know her, sir?"
35247Did you notice the eyes, how they glared at us?"
35247Did you recognise it?"
35247Do n''t you see it, man?"
35247Do you know where she is?"
35247Do you often go back and forth at night?"
35247Do you remember what a perfect one he built up in the Holladay case, and how it fell to pieces?
35247Do you suppose she''d have dragged him by his legs?"
35247Does that answer the question?"
35247Fear at my knock at that hour of the night?
35247Fear of what?
35247Godfrey, what is this secret?"
35247Godfrey?"
35247Had I been right in my conjecture, then?
35247Had I not been thinking too much of Miss Lawrence, and too little of our client?
35247Had Marcia Lawrence really come home again?
35247Had Miss Kingdon answered the imperative summons sent her?
35247Had she been false to Marcia Lawrence, and her sister true, and was this the result of that treachery?
35247Had she confessed that it was indeed she who revealed the secret?
35247Had she fled from the house of her own volition?
35247Had the gifts been in vain?
35247Had the secret been exposed?
35247Had there already been an explanation, a revelation of the mystery?
35247Had they waited till the last moment to make it more complete, more crushing?
35247Had we really found the solution, after all?
35247Had your daughter ever had any attachment previous to this one?"
35247Has Miss Lawrence returned?"
35247Has any explanation of it occurred to you?"
35247Has any other possible explanation occurred to you?"
35247Have you any news?"
35247Have you ever seen Miss Lawrence?"
35247Have you worked out the rest of the story?"
35247Her sister, Miss Lucy Kingdon-- why, was n''t that the name you were looking for?"
35247How could he have hurt me?
35247How could she meet him, how look him in the eyes, with that secret weighing upon her?
35247How could we drive her to suicide?"
35247How did you do it?"
35247How did you get in?"
35247How explain her calmness, her lack of interest?
35247How had she done it?
35247How had she succeeded in blinding her mistress so completely?
35247How had she summoned courage to tell him?
35247How would she bear the shock of that meeting?
35247How would she face him when she found him awaiting her at Liverpool?
35247How would the story end?
35247How would the story end?
35247How would they regard each other, I wondered?
35247How, except on the theory that she knew where her daughter was, had assisted in her disappearance and approved of it?
35247I do n''t suppose you remember anything about her?"
35247I understand you''re staying at the Sheridan?"
35247I wonder how they bore it?"
35247I wonder where that light has gone?"
35247I wonder, Lester, if you realise just how desperate it was?"
35247I''d only to recall this photograph----""Why did n''t you show it to me before?"
35247If Lucy Kingdon did n''t aid her, who did?"
35247If Miss Lawrence were really there, would she not have heard me?
35247If the note was written here, why did she use a writing- paper different from her own?
35247In the first place, how did this fellow know about the Kingdons?
35247Is it wrong to write that now, I wonder?
35247Is it?"
35247Is n''t there a window to the cellar?"
35247Is the portrait a good one?"
35247Is there any news?"
35247It opens at ten o''clock, does n''t it?"
35247It seemed to me that they were made by some person alternately rising and stooping, but why should any one do that for hours at a time?
35247It was Dr. Schuyler, was n''t it?"
35247It was a handkerchief of dainty lace and it was damp-- with tears?
35247It was to have been a church wedding, was n''t it?"
35247Lawrence?"
35247Lawrence?"
35247Lawrence?"
35247Lester-- what was it drove her to it?"
35247Lester?"
35247Lester?"
35247Lester?"
35247Lester?"
35247Not till I was half- way up the walk, did it occur to me that the boy had probably come out of the gate-- that he had brought a message-- from whom?
35247Of course I''ve read the papers-- there''s no connection between this affair and that other one, is there, Lester?"
35247Of the maid''s complicity, I had not the shadow of a doubt-- but was Mrs. Lawrence a party to it, too?
35247Or did they expect to be married afterwards?"
35247Or was there, after all, another man?
35247Queer affair, was n''t it?"
35247Quite like the Studio, is n''t it?"
35247Schuyler?"
35247See what, Lester?"
35247Shall I tell you where she went?
35247Shall we write out the story and mail it to Curtiss?
35247She has disappeared----""You''re sure she is n''t concealed somewhere about the place?"
35247She may have done all that before she came back here----""Came back here?"
35247Since you did n''t hear the shot, will you kindly tell us what it was awakened you?
35247Suppose I burst in upon her, what could I say?
35247That contour of the face-- that poise of the head-- where had I seen them?
35247That seems inconceivable, does n''t it?"
35247That''s good advice, is n''t it, Lester?"
35247The Lawrences are pretty prominent, are n''t they?"
35247The first shock when she read the letter----""The letter?"
35247The house before me answered all of these conditions; but how could I make certain that Miss Lawrence was really there?
35247There can be no doubt about this body, I suppose?"
35247There were only a few lines upon it:--"Dearest: I can not be your wife-- how shall I tell you?
35247There''s nothing else I can do?"
35247Thirty years dead-- how could any fact connected with her drive Marcia Lawrence forth into hiding at the hour of her wedding?
35247This is it-- whose do you think it is?"
35247Was Mrs. Lawrence right in thinking the letter from New York had no connection with it?
35247Was her self- control giving way under the strain, or had there been some new shock, some more poignant blow which she had been unable to withstand?
35247Was it anger?
35247Was it best to tell him?
35247Was it fear?
35247Was it her fault?
35247Was it here that Miss Lawrence had found refuge?
35247Was it not possible that Marcia Lawrence had been lured to the Kingdon cottage or taken there against her will?
35247Was it not possible that Marcia Lawrence was in their hands?
35247Was it not possible that my dream possessed a basis of reality?
35247Was it only three days?
35247Was it the letter?
35247Was it they who had whispered in Marcia Lawrence''s ear the story which had broken the marriage, caused her flight, ruined her future?
35247Was it----?
35247Was not that too strong a term?
35247Was she alone last night?"
35247Was some such explanation to be sought here?
35247Was that their revenge for some old injury?
35247Was there any possible explanation of such a flight?
35247Was there in his past some unnamable stain which had lain hidden till this last moment; which this stainless woman had shrunk from, horrified?
35247Was there really any connection, I wondered, between that old tragedy in Mrs. Lawrence''s life and this in the life of her daughter?
35247Was there some depth which we had not yet touched, some turn to the tragedy which we did not suspect?
35247Was this the explanation of her flight?
35247Was this the key to the mystery?
35247Well, he described him about as I described him to you----""Even to his being a musician?"
35247Were the words merely a meaningless outburst, an incoherent cry, the result of a mind disordered?
35247Were these long- continued risings and stoopings a series of genuflexions before some shrine-- a penance, perhaps, imposed for some transgression?
35247Were you with Mrs. Lawrence last night?"
35247What are the developments?"
35247What became of Mrs. Endicott and her daughter-- I think you said there was a daughter?"
35247What connection could she have?
35247What connection had she with Miss Lawrence''s disappearance?
35247What could make it impossible?
35247What do you suppose she''s doing in the cellar?"
35247What dreadful thing was about to be revealed?
35247What else have n''t you told me?"
35247What good will it do that the world should know it?"
35247What had Harriet Kingdon meant by that wild outburst of hers?
35247What had been Lucy Kingdon''s connection with the mystery?
35247What had happened?
35247What had she meant by that?
35247What had she said?
35247What has he to offer in exchange for such perfection?"
35247What have I left?
35247What infamy was she proposing?
35247What is it you propose?"
35247What power was it drew my eyes to the tapestry at the inner door?
35247What secret was it had torn her heart?
35247What was going on, I wondered, in that big house among the trees?
35247What was happening within this house?
35247What was it had so shaken her?
35247What was it he would have to tell me?
35247What was she saying?
35247What was the meaning of that light in the cellar?
35247What was the task that was going forward there?
35247What was the trouble-- a lady on board?
35247What was this woman doing in the cellar?
35247What work had been going forward there, hour after hour?
35247What''s her name?"
35247What, then, had detained him?
35247What_ was_ buried here?
35247When did you graduate from college?"
35247When do you go back?"
35247When is the inquest?"
35247Where is she?"
35247Where will it be held?"
35247Which is her room?"
35247Which of the women had he meant?
35247Which woman?
35247Who could say how that old injury done the Endicotts would flower and fruit?
35247Who could say what hatred, what desire for vengeance, rankled in the hearts of the Kingdons?
35247Who has been digging here?
35247Who has the right to tell?"
35247Who was it was insane?
35247Who was this person and what was this work which must be done at such an hour?
35247Whose was it?
35247Whose was that shrill and violent voice which had threatened me through the door?
35247Why did she shoot at you?
35247Why do n''t that fellow whip up?"
35247Why need Dr. Schuyler interfere at all?
35247Why not merely dismiss him?
35247Why put her on her guard and urge the fugitive to farther flight?
35247Why should I show her that I suspected Miss Lawrence''s place of refuge?
35247Why should Miss Lawrence have chosen such a woman to attend her?
35247Why should she incur such a risk as that?"
35247Why, then, had she fled?
35247Why?
35247Will you come to see me this evening?"
35247Will you try to follow her, even though she expressly forbids it?"
35247Wo n''t you come along?"
35247Would n''t that stir the public?
35247Would she not rather have fled from them with loathing?
35247Would the mere fact of revealed relationship alter their old feeling, or would love survive to torture them?
35247You cling to the husband then, do you?"
35247You had been, you say, at the Lawrence house?"
35247You have n''t happened to form a theory about it, have you?"
35247You intend to stay here?"
35247You were in your daughter''s room, I suppose, after she disappeared?"
35247You''re at the Sheridan?"
35247You''ve heard about it?"
35247You''ve heard me speak of Burr Curtiss?"
35247You''ve no objection to the company of an officer?"
35247You?"
35247for whom?
34046''Ow can that be right? 34046 ''Ow do you know, sir?
34046''Ow, sir?
34046A lady?
34046A paper, ai n''t it?
34046A servant-- the valet?
34046A threat of some kind?
34046A twenty- two?
34046Ah, Sing, eh? 34046 And the bird repeated it-- to us?"
34046And the same man made it who made my prints in the booth?
34046Another stock scandal like the Flying Boat one?
34046Answer that, Don?
34046Any orders to me?
34046Anything strike you as peculiar?
34046Anything? 34046 Are there more than one?"
34046Are those servants still under arrest?
34046Are you and I detectives or children? 34046 Are you married?"
34046Are you sure he talked over the phone? 34046 Are you sure you tried to unlock this door?"
34046Are you sure?
34046But ca n''t we find out how father was killed?
34046But ca n''t you stop these calls?
34046But if he made them, could n''t we find them underneath?
34046But what about the tall guy who looked like a German? 34046 But what does it mean?
34046But what is all this twisting and turning for?
34046But what is behind the cases, Mr. Stockbridge? 34046 But where will he go?"
34046But who taught the bird?
34046But-- I do n''t see how he could-- get in here?
34046By what right?
34046By whose orders have you sent that awful man to my rooms?
34046Can he have it, Miss Stockbridge?
34046Can there be anything about the room,she asked,"that he wants to use?
34046Can you make that name out?
34046Could he climb up here? 34046 Could he have called us up from that junction- box?"
34046Could he have cut the wires and connected them again without Central noticing anything out of the ordinary?
34046Could it have been an accident, Chief? 34046 Could the Germans be after you for any reason at all?"
34046Dead?
34046Dead?
34046Dead?
34046Did he talk to anybody when he used this''phone, Miss Stockbridge?
34046Did his voice squeak then?
34046Did it repeat much of Mr. Stockbridge''s conversation?
34046Did n''t you tell me the telephone company rang up and wanted you to put the receiver on the hook in the library?
34046Did she buy anything-- or do anything, after the officer left her?
34046Did you ever suspect her?
34046Did you find out how he got into the room?
34046Did you get a good look at my face in Stockbridge''s?
34046Did you get any clue, Chief, as to how it was done?
34046Did you get his address?
34046Did you recognize that voice?
34046Did you see anybody about?
34046Did you see-- Frisby?
34046Did you take prints and photos of everything in the library? 34046 Do n''t they answer?"
34046Do you know anything about electricity or telephony?
34046Do you think it is necessary?
34046Do you think they are developed?
34046Do you understand?
34046Do you want me to, Miss Stockbridge? 34046 Do you want to say good- by to somebody?"
34046Do? 34046 Does he fit what the black crow said?"
34046Does the superintendent know Conroy?
34046From the air?
34046German?
34046Gone batty, Chief?
34046Got flash lights?
34046Had to shoot him, eh, Chief? 34046 Happened to him?
34046Harry Nichols?
34046Has he got anything with him?
34046Has no enemies?
34046Has that Mr. Delaney found any one?
34046Has this fellow said anything? 34046 Have you another''phone in this house?"
34046Have you got a print of Finklestein?
34046Have you told me everything?
34046Have you tried the outer lock? 34046 He says it''s murder?"
34046He''s come around to our deduction?
34046Hear anything?
34046Hello, this you, Saidee? 34046 Hello, who''s this?"
34046How about Germans?
34046How about O''Toole, who''s watching Nichols?
34046How about a misdemeanor?
34046How about running Morphy in the guard house, or whatever they have up there?
34046How about that trouble- man?
34046How about that?
34046How about the coroner?
34046How about the junction- box in the alley? 34046 How about them?
34046How about them?
34046How about underground, Chief?
34046How could a man get into that library, shoot the old millionaire, get out again and go over to a slot- booth?
34046How could one shoot a man in a sealed room, Chief? 34046 How d''ye do it, Chief?"
34046How did you get that, Chief?
34046How do you know it was a revolver?
34046How else could the pistol be discharged?
34046How long did you sleep?
34046How long have you been with Miss Stockbridge?
34046How long have you had him?
34046How many bars?
34046How much?
34046How old is he?
34046How should I know, Chief?
34046How?
34046How?
34046I wonder what became of that tea?
34046I''ll grant you that, but what does it prove?
34046If I can have that magpie? 34046 If the address is downtown, or in Brooklyn, what would you do then?"
34046If you have no connection in this case, save as an adviser,he said clearly and from his heart,"why are you trying to trap me or her?
34046Is he a little chap with a satchel and a testing set?
34046Is it fully loaded?
34046Is that clear?
34046Is that the reason,she asked,"why Morphy telephoned before he killed poor father?"
34046Is that true about my brother-- Morphy?
34046Is the key there?
34046Is there any difference between an ordinary magpie and a Spanish one?
34046It is, eh? 34046 It was done by the fellow who''phoned and wrote that letter, or had the letter written?
34046Just how did you post them?
34046Just what did he say?
34046Knows nothing about it?
34046Like a voice on a wire?
34046Look like?
34046Looks German?
34046Looks harmless, do n''t it? 34046 Lower it?"
34046Matters? 34046 May I see it?"
34046May I use it?
34046Meet him? 34046 Miss Stockbridge''s friend?"
34046Mr. Drew, how much money do I owe you? 34046 Mr. Drew,"she repeated with slow insistence,"wo n''t you have another cup of tea before you go?"
34046My friend?
34046News? 34046 Next, Chief?"
34046Nichols,said Drew,"did you lend Miss Stockbridge this revolver?
34046No go? 34046 No go?"
34046No shot?
34046No telephone bell ringing? 34046 No-- did you?"
34046Not a word from your men or the telephone company?
34046Nothing serious-- I hope?
34046Now,he said with vigor,"now, what about your servants?
34046Oh, Harry-- what happened? 34046 One bar or two?"
34046Or how he was murdered?
34046Or how he was shot, Chief?
34046Or me?
34046Repeat, sir?
34046S-- o? 34046 See it?
34046See it? 34046 Seen anybody about?"
34046Seen anything?
34046Shall I call Miss Stockbridge?
34046Some friend of your father''s?
34046Somebody in the immediate family?
34046Somebody you are expecting to pass away soon? 34046 Something the matter?"
34046Soot?
34046Stockbridge''s magpie?
34046Suppose he had other confederates who would break in?
34046Sure?
34046Sure?
34046That magpie?
34046That walley- sham?
34046That was clever, was n''t it?
34046That was when Stockbridge was shot, was n''t it, Chief?
34046That''s fine, Chief, but-- but how did that exceptional-- crook get into this room? 34046 That''s like a door- catch?"
34046That''s queer, is n''t it?
34046The one at Forty- second Street and Broadway?
34046The operatives?
34046The switchboard?
34046The tall lad?
34046The trouble- man?
34046Then Albert is the lad, Chief?
34046Then it was done by an outsider?
34046Then this bullet was fired at long range?
34046Then we''re just going to wait right here?
34046Then which of your friends might be responsible for this letter?
34046Then you think the lack of rifling on the bullet might be the opening wedge to catching the man who shot Stockbridge?
34046Then, Mr. Drew, he would have called me up on the phone later and done what he did-- to father? 34046 Then, what happened upstairs?"
34046These cases?
34046They''re cut, eh?
34046This Delaney? 34046 This Delaney?"
34046Threat? 34046 Through the two booths?"
34046To the girl in the case?
34046To what?
34046To whom?
34046Tryin''to telephone, Chief----"What has he got to do with the telephone? 34046 Vendetta?"
34046Wait right here and let them do their worst?
34046Was there a climber''s set in that bag?
34046Was there any other way of doing the same thing?
34046Was there anything in what she said?
34046We''ll sit down?
34046Well, what did he mean?
34046Well, what did you find out over there?
34046Well, what do you gentlemen want at this hour of the morning?
34046Well, what is it?
34046Well, what luck? 34046 Well-- what then?"
34046Well? 34046 Well?"
34046Well?
34046Well?
34046Well?
34046Well?
34046Well?
34046Were you up to Stockbridge''s house?
34046What about that bullet, Chief?
34046What about that bullet?
34046What are all these people doing here?
34046What are they going to do when they learn about this?
34046What are they?
34046What are you goin''to do?
34046What are_ you_ doing here?
34046What d''ye deduct in this second call-- Chief?
34046What d''ye mean?
34046What did he say?
34046What did he say?
34046What did you find out?
34046What did you find?
34046What did you find?
34046What did you find?
34046What did you find?
34046What did you get on the telephone call? 34046 What did you say about a trouble- man?
34046What do I think of it?
34046What do you smell?
34046What do you want him for? 34046 What do you want it for?"
34046What does he mean, Chief?
34046What does our friend Fosdick say?
34046What does she know? 34046 What followed?"
34046What for, Bert?
34046What happened? 34046 What happened?"
34046What happened?
34046What happened?
34046What happened?
34046What happened?
34046What have you found out about Harry Nichols?
34046What have you found, Chief?
34046What is it, Chief?
34046What is it, Chief?
34046What is it, Chief?
34046What is it?
34046What is it?
34046What is it?
34046What is it?
34046What is it?
34046What is it?
34046What is it?
34046What is that_''it''? 34046 What kind of looking fellow?"
34046What of that, James?
34046What servants remain?
34046What shall I do?
34046What size feet did the trouble- hunter have?
34046What the devil did they do that for?
34046What was his object?
34046What was outside?
34046What was said?
34046What was the booth number?
34046What were you saying?
34046What will they do?
34046What would you do in my case?
34046What''s Finkle-- Finklestein''s initials?
34046What''s all that for?
34046What''s coming off?
34046What''s new in the Stockbridge case?
34046What''s new? 34046 What''s new?"
34046What''s that sticking out of your other pocket, Chief?
34046What''s that you''ve been telling Harrigan? 34046 What''s that?"
34046What''s that?
34046What''s the news, Chief? 34046 What''s the news?"
34046What''s the number of that last print?
34046What''s the number on the back of that one?
34046What''s the weather like out at Morristown? 34046 What''s their names, Chief?
34046What''s your name?
34046What-- who was it?
34046What? 34046 What?"
34046What?
34046What_ was_ the trouble? 34046 When did you ever see him?"
34046When did you first learn of it?
34046When was that?
34046When will you be back, Chief?
34046Where are the prints and photos you took up at the house?
34046Where are you going?
34046Where did he leave his prints?
34046Where did this fellow go? 34046 Where was it?"
34046Where was that made?
34046Where''s the bunch?
34046Which of the servants, Miss Stockbridge, have Fosdick and his men left for you?
34046Which one is that-- the library?
34046Which one of you is the valet?
34046Which one?
34046Which way did he go, Chief?
34046Who are you?
34046Who else?
34046Who else?
34046Who is she, Chief?
34046Who is this man?
34046Who phoned?
34046Who said that?
34046Who''s in there?
34046Who''s that over across the street in the shelter of the stoop? 34046 Who''s that, Chief?"
34046Who''s there?
34046Who, Chief?
34046Who?
34046Who?
34046Whom do you suspect?
34046Whom shall I ask for at Gramercy Hill?
34046Why did he have Morphy connected with father? 34046 Why did that poor dead man spare my life when he called me up the first time?
34046Why did you let him in?
34046Why do n''t you take these cuffs off- a- me? 34046 Why not lay the case before the warden and have him put out of harm''s way?
34046Why should we fear anything at all?
34046Wife living?
34046Will Mr. Delaney and the other detectives catch him by that call?
34046Will you come in?
34046Woman''s?
34046Wot''s that?
34046Would he fit in with what this bird said, Chief?
34046Would n''t money buy them?
34046Would you have anything else?
34046Yes, Commissioner.... What? 34046 You are now a naturalized American?"
34046You did-- you remember? 34046 You have n''t them?"
34046You heard nothing fall in this room?
34046You know what that means?
34046You know who lives there? 34046 You mean the big place where the girls are?"
34046You remember the magpie?
34046You want him?
34046You''ll go for me?
34046You''re not going to bed at all?
34046You''ve made a lot of ammunition-- haven''t you?
34046You, Nichols?
34046You-- you have charge of this bird?
34046Your native country is Germany?
34046... Harry Nichols?
34046... Is Delaney there?"
34046... Jones?
34046... New wrinkle, what?
34046... Oh, is that so.... What?
34046... What?
34046A coffin?
34046Ai n''t that dirt-- to a girl like that?
34046All the others are all right?"
34046Any assignments for me?"
34046Any suggestions?"
34046Are all detectives alike?
34046Are any of them of German birth?"
34046Are they the same?
34046Besides, how would the spot come to be under your left ear?"
34046Burned?
34046But then, who knows?
34046But what about that call to- night-- the one that frightened me?"
34046But what was it all for?"
34046But who would do that, sir?"
34046But, Delaney, how could a man tap in on that junction- box and never leave prints in the snow?
34046But----""What''s that?
34046By letter and telephone call.... What?
34046Can it be locked securely?"
34046Can you think of any more?"
34046Could it have been there for some time?"
34046Could it have been there?"
34046Could it have had anything to do with the murder?"
34046D''ye see it?"
34046Delaney?"
34046Did Stockbridge, shot through the brain, rise and do it?
34046Did it act like a parrot?"
34046Did n''t I send you out to call up the vice- president of the telephone company?
34046Did n''t he kill your father?
34046Did she fear anything else?
34046Did she request it?
34046Did you ever hear it repeat that couplet?"
34046Did you notice him?"
34046Did you telephone them?"
34046Did you try it for fingerprints?"
34046Do n''t you know that much work can be done over on this side?
34046Do n''t you remember anything he said when he was in the house, for comparison?"
34046Do n''t you, Miss Stockbridge?"
34046Do you mistrust me?"
34046Do you remember how long she took?
34046Do you remember the Rajah case at Gramercy Park?"
34046Do you remember the third call that I gave you this morning?--the one when the chief- operator at Gramercy Hill put the howler on?
34046Do you see that?"
34046Do you think I want Miss Stockbridge murdered like her father was murdered?
34046Do you think that I could take it?
34046Do you want to see the man or men who slayed your father, escape?
34046Do you want to telephone?"
34046Do you want us to search again?"
34046Does n''t that prove he is not all the things you said he was?"
34046Does that explain the noise we heard in the library before we broke down the door?"
34046Done any talking?"
34046Dr-- e-- w?"
34046Drew?"
34046Drew?"
34046Drew?"
34046Drew?"
34046Drew?"
34046Drew?"
34046Eh, Pope?"
34046Funny you did n''t notice it?"
34046Funny, was n''t it?
34046Get that?"
34046Get that?"
34046Get that?"
34046Got those pliers, Delaney?"
34046Has anybody here any suggestions?"
34046Has she seen this letter?"
34046Have Delaney and I erred-- as once or twice before?"
34046Have I already been given poison?"
34046Have you asked all the questions you want to?
34046He phoned, eh?
34046He probably said,''What, Sing Sing?''
34046He raised his black brows and said sepulchrally:"Who is dead?"
34046He says that Morphy has been trying to telephone----""What?"
34046He says that their records show----""Show what?"
34046He swiveled as Delaney inquired:"What''s the news in the Stockbridge case?
34046He''s about twenty- three years old, blonde hair and tall----""Tall?"
34046He''s back from Morristown, is n''t he?
34046He''s in Florida, eh?
34046He-- he----""Who?"
34046Hear it, Delaney?"
34046Hear it?
34046His only chance is to tell us what he knows about Morphy?
34046How about that English butler?
34046How about trapdoors?"
34046How came she to have it so soon after meeting you in the corner drug- store?
34046How could a right- handed man shoot himself behind the left ear?
34046How could he do a thing like that and then get rid of the weapon without leaving a trace of it?
34046How could he do it, Don?
34046How could that be?"
34046How did he get out?
34046How did that happen?
34046How did the library door get locked on the inside?
34046How did the murderer shoot down the old man?
34046How long have you had him?"
34046How should this man know all of these things about me?"
34046How was the murder done?"
34046How''s Miss Stockbridge bearing the strain, up at the house?"
34046I have n''t forgotten that, have I?"
34046I suppose they have n''t another trouble- man like this one, though?"
34046I suppose yours is among them, inspector?"
34046I told him there was another-- well, you know what I told him, Chief?"
34046I want----""How do you know it''s the same revolver-- the same caliber?"
34046I wonder if Delaney got to the house in time?"
34046I wonder what he''ll say when the governor gets this evidence?
34046I wonder what the operatives will have to report?
34046I wonder who did it?"
34046I wonder who the fellow is?
34046I wonder,"he added, peering under the fine drizzle of snow,"I wonder where the nearest telephone is located?
34046I----""What was it like?"
34046In Stockbridge''s brain was not scored or... or what?
34046Is it planted in her room?
34046Is it there?''"
34046Is it yours?
34046Is that satisfactory?
34046Is this Fosdick?
34046Is this Spring 3100?
34046It caught him, did n''t it, Chief?"
34046It is n''t bitter?"
34046It is?
34046It might cheer us up?"
34046It rang then, in Loris''room?
34046It seems that way to me.... Are you dead sure?"
34046It''s all right, is n''t it?
34046It''s daybreak, is n''t it?"
34046It''s getting late, is n''t it?"
34046Let''s see, what is this?"
34046Marked?
34046Maybe your friend, Cutbert, will show up some day?"
34046Morphy must have been mentioned on the wire and Stockbridge shouted,''What, in Sing Sing?''
34046Morphy said''Bert,''eh?"
34046Nichols?
34046Nichols?"
34046Nichols?"
34046Now could n''t that be Ossining?"
34046Now how was it done?"
34046Now is there anything that you want to say to me which will clear your mind of this affair?"
34046Now just what branch of Telephony do you want?
34046Now the next call----""Was there another?"
34046Now what does he mean by that_''it''?
34046Now what does hysteresis and laminations mean?
34046Now what''s the answer, chief?
34046Now where have I heard it?"
34046Now who of Stockbridge''s enemies does that fit?"
34046Now why would he want to take another''s place?
34046Now, are there any more servants in the house?"
34046Now, how about all your rooms?
34046Now, the next one?"
34046Now, what d''ye make of that?"
34046Now, what is this?"
34046Now,"he snapped,"what about the windows of this room, the little reception hall and the bedroom over there?
34046Now----""Well, Chief?"
34046Outside of spirits, what is the answer to the things that happened in that house?
34046Remember how Flood and Cassady searched for him after the others were arrested?
34046Remember how Stockbridge beat Morphy to the District Attorney and told all he knew, and went before the Grand Jury?
34046Remember the shootin''-gallery at Headquarters?
34046Ringing at any time after I left the house?"
34046Same chap, ai n''t it?"
34046Say, Chief, how did you get that spot of black on your neck?
34046Say, Saidee, what number is this on your board?"
34046See her furs?
34046See her white spats?
34046See him?"
34046See how it is held from coming back by those tiny screws about the rim?"
34046See it?"
34046See the cap?
34046See them, Loris-- Miss Stockbridge?
34046See-- wait-- what''s this, Delaney?
34046Shall I call her?"
34046Shall I look?"
34046Shall I stay here?"
34046Sir?
34046Some one on their sick- bed, for instance?"
34046Something about a coffin?
34046Sort of an Idol''s Eye case-- wasn''t it?"
34046Stockbridge?"
34046Suddenly between gusts, Loris asked point- blankly:"Do you suspect that man, Morphy?"
34046Suppose you leave me here with Miss Stockbridge, and you go down stairs and around to the drug- store?"
34046Tall, fat or small?"
34046Tell me what happened then?"
34046That''s a bedroom, is n''t it?"
34046That''s all Frick had to say, except a----""Well?"
34046The call I had you trace through Spencer Ott, the Chief Electrician?"
34046The fellow the trouble- man saw getting over the fence and beating it for Fifth Avenue?"
34046The fellow who escaped to Rio or South America?
34046The man we want is----""Found?"
34046The next call for our investigation----""Which was?"
34046The one we had a bench- warrant for?
34046The one you noticed after we left yesterday morning?
34046This you, Commissioner?
34046This you, Jones?
34046This you, Tupper?
34046Was he German?"
34046Was it the same man that Miss Stockbridge heard?"
34046Was it to occupy his attention so that the murderer could get in the room and fire the shot?"
34046Was it to threaten him?
34046Was that her sole reason for having a revolver with her?"
34046Was the call to warn him?
34046We''ll forget it, eh?"
34046Well,"Drew added with a sweeping glance about the library,"well, these big windows-- how about them?"
34046Well?"
34046What I want to know is, what devilish ingenuity of the criminal tribe projected that bullet into the old man''s brain?
34046What about the smoke- wagon?"
34046What about this telephoning?
34046What better revenge could he think of than to notify Mr. Stockbridge that death was about to strike?
34046What d''ye make of this?"
34046What d''ye think of it?"
34046What did Frick learn at Ossining?"
34046What did Frick say?"
34046What did he do in the house?"
34046What did you learn to- day?"
34046What do you make of this bird?
34046What do you mean?"
34046What do you say, if we endorse this over to the American Red Cross?
34046What do you think?"
34046What do you want that done for?
34046What do you want to get loose for?
34046What do you want with the telephone?"
34046What does he know about war?"
34046What does he look like?"
34046What does he want to telephone for?"
34046What else did Frick say?"
34046What else did O''Toole find, Delaney?"
34046What happened?
34046What is it-- poison?
34046What is it?"
34046What is the matter-- over there?"
34046What is there in this world, which is at one and the same time, material and yet capable of penetrating through a door or wall without a trace?
34046What man can enter this place to- night-- without our permission?"
34046What man can rise in this slippery city without pushing a few down the ladder?
34046What manner of gun could fire a bullet, such as a cupronickel one, without leaving markings?"
34046What number do you want?
34046What right has an inmate of a prison got to phone?
34046What right have you got coming here and accusing Loris?
34046What time did it arrive?"
34046What time was it, Delaney?"
34046What was in that letter?"
34046What was it, please?"
34046What was said over the telephone wire?
34046What was the name of the man we tried to find in the Morphy failure?
34046What was the next call?"
34046What was your idea?"
34046What were they?"
34046What would happen if you were taken away from me?"
34046What''d he try?
34046What''s a micro- volt?"
34046What''s behind?"
34046What''s happened?"
34046What''s his name, Chief?"
34046What''s it look like?"
34046What''s that noise inside?
34046What''s that on your chin?
34046What''s the idea of having an alternating current of low voltage on the same line with a talking current of three volts?
34046What''s this you''ve been giving me over the''phone?"
34046What-- a casket?
34046What-- you got your foot on?"
34046What?
34046What?
34046What?"
34046When did you come to the United States?"
34046When did you get this letter, Mr. Stockbridge?
34046Where is the maid?"
34046Where was the spot of powder on my face?
34046Which will you have?"
34046Who does it belong to?
34046Who else, beside we four, are in this part of the house?"
34046Who let him in?"
34046Who might think of a thing like that?"
34046Who of all of them would be capable of phoning the cemetery, representing himself to be your family physician and ordering the grave dug?
34046Who was it to?"
34046Who''s talking?
34046Who''s this?"
34046Who?...
34046Whom do you suppose we''re going to meet here?"
34046Whose revolver is this?
34046Why could n''t we get Central?"
34046Why did you leave this door at all?"
34046Why do n''t you join the army?"
34046Why have I got that strange feeling?"
34046Why were they used?"
34046Why, Miss Stockbridge, is n''t he plotting to slay you?
34046Why?"
34046Wonder who cut your wires?"
34046Wot d''ye make out- a that, Chief?"
34046Would n''t that be a clue, Chief?"
34046Would they rather see a man in jail than free?"
34046Yen she, eh, Delaney?"
34046Yes.... You''ll be right up?...
34046You are holding down this door?"
34046You do n''t mean that letter-- that telephone call-- do you?"
34046You had charge of it when Mr. Stockbridge was alive?"
34046You know what they did to father?"
34046You know who I mean?"
34046You never saw him?"
34046You remember him?
34046You remember it?"
34046You remember the howler?"
34046You say that... that the autopsy on Stockbridge''s body-- head-- shows what?
34046You see nothing?"
34046You see the game, Chief?"
34046You want to pinch the fellow he''s connecting with?"
34046You''d marry him-- wouldn''t you?"
34046eh?
37490A bit grouchy to- night, Lunn?
37490A blind?
37490A sound, eh? 37490 A tip?"
37490All I know is that she''s missing, and I thought mebbe you----"Missing?
37490All that fuss about a piece of phony jade? 37490 Am I?"
37490And all you saw of the murderer was a hand and a knife?
37490And so the big story will never materialize?
37490And so you have convinced yourself that Pinto committed the murder?
37490And yet,facing her squarely,"you do n''t think the Phantom committed the murder?"
37490And you adopted the suggestion?
37490Another of the Duke''s tricks, I suppose?
37490Anything else in the papers, doctor?
37490Are n''t you a bit hasty, doctor? 37490 Are n''t you holding something back yourself?
37490Are you crazy?
37490Awful sight-- ain''t it, Granger? 37490 Been drinking again?"
37490Been hitting the booze again, ai n''t you?
37490Blue or gray?
37490Breathing his last, was he?
37490But suppose they come in the guise of friends? 37490 But the two plots might have been hatched simultaneously?"
37490But was n''t it a rather rough way of putting a man to bed?
37490But what about me?
37490But what about the housekeeper?
37490But where''s the Maltese cross?
37490But why, boss?
37490But why?
37490By the way, officer, happen to have a match?
37490By the way,and Culligore fixed an indolent eye on the electric fixture above the desk,"was the light on or off when you broke in?"
37490By the way,inquired the Phantom,"who is the illustrious personage that''s referred to as''the big chief''?"
37490Ca n''t figger it out, eh?
37490Ca n''t you see I''m busy?
37490Ca n''t you see that I''ve got you covered?
37490Ca n''t you see the store''s closed?
37490Cab, sir?
37490Can you forgive me-- for doubting you?
37490Convince_ me_?
37490Did he?
37490Did my opinion of you really matter as much as that?
37490Did n''t I tip you off on the doings in the Gage house this morning?
37490Did n''t you know that Doctor Bimble was the Duke''s chief representative?
37490Did n''t you savvy the note I slipped you?
37490Did n''t you say the_ Sphere_, sir?
37490Did the Phantom know about the secret drawer and how to open it?
37490Did what?
37490Did you take the precaution of arranging an alibi?
37490Do I understand that you are willing to listen to reason? 37490 Do n''t you agree with me?
37490Do n''t you know you''re fired?
37490Do n''t you think we''d better start a general alarm, sir?
37490Do n''t you?
37490Do you know,the doctor went on,"I am almost certain that Miss Hardwick knows where your retreat is located?
37490Do you remember the woman''s exact words?
37490Do you suppose it''s too late to find the coffeehouse pirate?
37490Does it?
37490Does n''t he still think you are on his side?
37490Eh?
37490Eh?
37490For what?
37490Glad?
37490Got a match?
37490Granger, you do n''t think I murdered Gage?
37490Has Pinto recovered consciousness?
37490Has anything happened to Miss Hardwick?
37490Has anything happened to her? 37490 Has he telephoned anyone, or sent out any messages?"
37490Have n''t you forgotten something?
37490Have you any friends in town?
37490Have you made any new scientific discoveries since I saw you last, doctor?
37490He moved the body, eh? 37490 He says he is Mr.----What did you say your name was?"
37490He''s got to sleep some place, ai n''t he?
37490He- Helen Hardwick?
37490Hear anything of him yet?
37490How are you going to help yourself?
37490How can I find him?
37490How could he, I''d like to know, with me standing right outside the door and a crowd of rubbernecks at the main entrance?
37490How could there be? 37490 How did Granger get into Gage''s bedroom?"
37490How did the heads of the organization communicate with you? 37490 How did you get here?"
37490How do you know that?
37490How do you know?
37490How do you suppose the murderer got out, Pinto?
37490How is the little doll?
37490How well do you know Miss Hardwick?
37490How?
37490If Pinto did n''t do it,persisted the doctor suavely,"who do you suppose did?"
37490If what I''ve said does n''t hit the bull''s- eye, why did you sneak in here and drag the body out from behind the packing cases? 37490 If your boss was so all- fired scared of the guy that sent him the note, why did n''t he call up the police?"
37490Is he close to the inner circle of the gang? 37490 Is it the little Lotus Bud who is troubling the Gray Phantom?
37490Is she-- dead?
37490Is this a pinch?
37490Is this unfortunate journalist wearing a beard?
37490Jail?
37490Just where were you? 37490 Know an officer named Pinto?"
37490Know how to open it?
37490Let me see-- Gage and the Phantom had some kind of row a few years back?
37490Long enough to tell Pinto the name of the man who stabbed him?
37490Motive? 37490 Murdered?"
37490New? 37490 No?
37490Not a confession?
37490Not, by any chance, the one who reported the Gage murder?
37490Now, Granger,replied the Phantom with a chuckle,"you surely do n''t mind giving a fellow a lift?
37490Of course you told him to his face that he was the murderer?
37490On your word of honor?
37490Peng, you old heathen, I guess you know they are accusing me of murder?
37490Perhaps it would mean promotion, too-- who knows? 37490 Say, Granger,"whined the little man,"ai n''t going to leave me like this, are you?
37490Say, does your ma know you''re out as late as this? 37490 Say, what''s the use stalling?"
37490Say, you''ve been watching me, ai n''t you? 37490 Sir,"he demanded,"are you the Gray Phantom or merely a clumsy impostor?"
37490So it''s a psychological nail, eh?
37490So that''s how you happened to become a member of the Duke''s organization?
37490So?
37490Sounds contradictory, does n''t it? 37490 Sure of that?"
37490Surprised you, did n''t it?
37490That''s asking a lot of an amateur detective, is n''t it?
37490The Gray Phantom, for instance?
37490The Phantom?
37490The basement, eh?
37490The chair, eh? 37490 The cop?
37490The guest? 37490 The late Mr. Gage''s housekeeper?"
37490The one with boarded windows and doors?
37490The piratical- looking fellow?
37490Then what was the object?
37490Then, Culligore,asked the Phantom,"I suppose you''re convinced I had nothing to do with the murders?"
37490Then, of course, you are not aware that the police are conducting a lively search for me?
37490There when it happened? 37490 Think so, eh?
37490Think so?
37490Think so?
37490Think so?
37490Think there''s any connection between the handcuffed pair and the murder of the housekeeper?
37490This room we are in is on the second floor, is n''t it?
37490Time enough? 37490 To New-- New York?"
37490Understanding?
37490Was that all?
37490Well, Granger?
37490Well, Pinto, what about it?
37490Well, Pinto?
37490Well, Vanardy?
37490Well, has n''t the Phantom proved that he knows just about all there is to know?
37490Well, he escaped, did n''t he? 37490 Well, suppose I am?"
37490Well, then what?
37490Well, what are you going to do about it?
37490Well, what do you think has happened to her?
37490Well, what happened after that?
37490Well, what of it?
37490Well, who''re_ you_?
37490Well?
37490Well?
37490What about Miss Hardwick?
37490What about the dick?
37490What about the murder''s manner of escape?
37490What about yourself?
37490What are they?
37490What d''ye mean?
37490What do you mean? 37490 What do you think of Pinto''s confession?"
37490What do you think, Peng Yuen?
37490What do you want?
37490What else can I think?
37490What else?
37490What has caused you to modify your view-- the tunnel?
37490What if I refuse?
37490What kind of sound was it you thought you heard?
37490What makes you think so?
37490What was it about?
37490What was the idea, Culligore?
37490What would you suggest?
37490What you driving at?
37490What''s become of Helen Hardwick?
37490What''s biting you this morning?
37490What''s eating you? 37490 What''s happened?"
37490What''s his name?
37490What''s that to you?
37490What''s the answer?
37490What''s the idea of the''exactly''? 37490 What''s the idea?"
37490What''s the idea?
37490What''s the lay, Slim?
37490What''s the matter? 37490 What''s the programme?"
37490What-- what are you going to do with us?
37490What-- what d''you mean?
37490What?
37490When did you guess it?
37490Where did it come from, Pinto?
37490Where did you co-- come from?
37490Where is the old fire- eater? 37490 Where is this house?"
37490Where to?
37490Where was she taken?
37490Where were you, then?
37490Where''s Pinto?
37490Where''s the boss keepin''her?
37490Which way?
37490Who did?
37490Who do you suppose was the''he''she referred to?
37490Who is the certain person you had in mind, Culligore?
37490Whose hand?
37490Whose name was signed to the note?
37490Why ask me?
37490Why be in such a rush, Culligore? 37490 Why did n''t Gage beat it for the tall woods when he got the letter?"
37490Why did the Duke''s crowd want Miss Hardwick kidnaped?
37490Why did you send it if you did n''t mean to kill him?
37490Why did you walk in there and try to pass yourself off as Tommie Granger?
37490Why do n''t you just sit tight?
37490Why do women never swoon until the worst is over?
37490Why do you ask?
37490Why do you want to know?
37490Why is the big chief so all- fired anxious to get his mitts on the Phantom?
37490Why so?
37490Why, pray?
37490Why?
37490Why?
37490Will she give you away?
37490Will you let me go if I tell you?
37490Would it surprise you very much if I told you that my only reason for leaving Sea- Glimpse was to convince you of my innocence?
37490Would n''t it be better?
37490Yeah?
37490Yeh?
37490Yes; why not? 37490 Yes?".
37490Yet you are a member of his organization?
37490You agree with me-- don''t you, Vanardy? 37490 You are Mrs. Trippe, I believe?"
37490You came through the-- tunnel?
37490You heard what he said, did n''t you? 37490 You mean the little queen who was so heart- broken because the Duke had stolen a lot of old Assyrian junk from her dad?"
37490You must surely know that it is my intention to hand you all over to the police?
37490You still insist that Pinto did?
37490You surely do n''t think that I''ll permit you to drag me off to a cell?
37490You will admit that you are very neatly cornered?
37490You wish me to make arrangements to have my body turned over to you after my death?
37490You''re a detective, are n''t you?
37490You?
37490Your task?
37490Adair?"
37490Adair?"
37490Afraid?"
37490Again a silence fell between the watchers; then Toots asked:"Why do n''t one of us go to the other end and smoke him out?
37490Am I right?"
37490Am I to be handed over to the police, or have you engaged passage for me on the Stygian ferry?"
37490And how do you know my name?"
37490And who could be prowling about the Gage house at such an hour?
37490Any news of the Phantom?"
37490Are n''t you going to tell me something of your plans?"
37490Are you ready to reconsider the suggestion I made a while ago and which you so grandiloquently rejected?
37490Besides, what charge do you propose to arrest me on?
37490Besides, where do you find any connection between a murder on the one hand and a cop chained to a dope fiend on the other?
37490Besides, why should I be pinching you?"
37490But after you have satisfied yourself in regard to my good faith, what then?"
37490But do you suppose the stubborn little beauty would tell?
37490But had n''t you better take me along?"
37490But has it occurred to you that the murderer''s exit is no more mysterious than his entrance?
37490But what do you make of it, Culligore?
37490But who could it be?
37490But why were you so anxious that I should not fall into the hands of the police?"
37490But, if he did, what was his idea in telling you that the Phantom had done it?
37490By the way, Pinto, when were you last inside the house?"
37490By the way, what''s your opinion of the case, Granger?"
37490By the way, where do you think you are going?"
37490By the way,"starting suddenly from his chair,"have you any idea where Helen Hardwick is?"
37490CHAPTER III-- BLUE OR GRAY?
37490CHAPTER XIX-- THE BIG STORY"How is your guest, Peng Yuen?"
37490Ca n''t you guess what they were?"
37490Ca n''t you speak?"
37490Can it be manipulated from the outside as well?"
37490Can you tell me what you are doing in this gallery of skeletons?"
37490Could I trouble you to show me the room in which the crime was committed?"
37490Could n''t the murderer have slipped out while you were looking for the light switch?"
37490Did I ever inshult you?"
37490Did I hear you say that you came here through the tunnel?"
37490Did it mean fear, suspicion, horror, hate, or all four?
37490Did you ever hear of a young lady named Miss Hardwick?"
37490Did you just walk in on a hunch and discover a dead woman, and a cop chained to an opium- eating runt, or did someone put you wise beforehand?"
37490Do n''t you know me-- Helen?"
37490Do n''t you think it would be the part of wisdom to submit and tell me what I want to know?"
37490Do n''t you think we had better compromise?"
37490Do n''t you?"
37490Do you agree to set Miss Hardwick free the moment I have given you the information?"
37490Do you agree?"
37490Do you blame me for doubting your statement that you found it by accident?"
37490Do you know,"with a broad grin,"that I thoroughly agree with you?
37490Doctor Bimble''s house?
37490Does he share its secrets?"
37490Eh, Bimble?"
37490Feel that?"
37490From a practical point of view it was a foolish move, was n''t it?
37490Gage would n''t have had the strength to pull it out of the wound, and, even if he had, how did he dispose of it?
37490Got any idea where she is?"
37490Granger, if you were in my position, how would you go about finding Miss Hardwick?"
37490Granger, of course, made his escape through the tunnel after committing the murder?"
37490Granger?"
37490Great heavens, what''s this?"
37490Had n''t he been too prone to put the wrong construction on the eccentricities of a scientist?
37490Had n''t you better tell your friends to throw down their guns?"
37490Had she been forcibly abducted as she stepped from the house, or had someone lured her into a trap?
37490Have n''t you got some friends there?"
37490Have you a pencil and a scrap of paper?"
37490He had just escaped from one of them, but another time he might not escape so easily, and what would become of Helen then?
37490He had kidnaped his man, but where was he to take him?
37490His glance, though seemingly casual, was taking in every detail of the reporter''s appearance,"How are you feeling?"
37490How about you?"
37490How am I to get you out of here?"
37490How did it come about that Granger was suspected of treachery?"
37490How did you know it was there?"
37490How do you explain the cop being handcuffed to Dan the Dope?"
37490How long did Gage live after he was stabbed?"
37490Huh?"
37490I live where I please-- see?
37490I trust you understand?"
37490In other words, are you willing to tell me where your treasures are hidden?"
37490In the storeroom?"
37490Is everything ready?"
37490Is n''t it just as important to find the murderer of Mrs. Trippe and Gage?"
37490Is n''t it your idea that the two murders were committed by one and the same person?"
37490Is n''t that enough?"
37490Is that clear?"
37490Jerome, where are my keys?"
37490Let me see-- I believe your real name is Cuthbert Vanardy?"
37490May I feel your pulse, sir?"
37490May I feel your pulse?"
37490Maybe you noticed it?"
37490Mind if I smoke a cigarette?"
37490Mrs. Trippe, do you remember how long Pinto was alone in the room after forcing his way in?"
37490No new developments?"
37490Not after I got you out of the fix you were in?"
37490Now that you have me where you want me, what do you propose to do with me?
37490Old War Horse had you kicked out, did n''t he?
37490On the other hand, assuming that the reporter was the intended recipient, what hidden meaning was Granger supposed to read into a ducal coronet?
37490Rich-- what?"
37490Say"--and Granger looked as though he had suddenly snatched an inspiration out of the air--"what about the place where you live?
37490Say, how much is that cop wise to?"
37490Say, how much longer are you going to sport my clothes and wear my name?"
37490Say, why do n''t you do something?"
37490Say, wo n''t he get a jolt when he comes out of the daze and finds himself strapped to a chair?"
37490Say,"and Pinto bored his sharp eyes into her twitching face,"what name was signed to that letter?"
37490Say,"and a startled look crossed his face,"do you suppose Gage killed himself?"
37490Say,"raising her voice,"why do n''t you break in that door?"
37490Say,"with a forced laugh,"would n''t it be funny if he should get caught right here, in this room?
37490Seen anything of the Gray Phantom lately?"
37490Shall I show you to your room?"
37490Suppose he should n''t come out at all,''Toots''?"
37490Suppose we take a walk around the block?"
37490Surprised, eh?
37490Tell me, was it before or after the murder of Gage that the Duke''s men came to you with the kidnaping proposition?"
37490Tell me,"and the Phantom lowered his voice as a new thought occurred to him,"is, or was, Pinto a member of the Duke''s crowd?"
37490The Phantom had nothing to do with it, eh?
37490The editor gave me a job on the spot and I''ve----""But what has all this to do with your membership in the Duke''s gang?"
37490The question is, can you rely on her not to communicate what she knows to the police?"
37490Then I searched his room, and what do you suppose I found?"
37490Then I shouted loud enough to raise the dead, but----""Your boss is hard of hearing, ai n''t he?"
37490Then, turning to the Phantom:"Think you can see the typewriter keys this morning?"
37490There''s no reason, though, why the Phantom should be prowling around here, is there?"
37490This proves-- But what''s become of Miss Hardwick?"
37490Time''s cheap, ai n''t it?
37490To whom did you report and from whom did you receive your orders?"
37490Trippe?"
37490Trippe?"
37490Trippe?"
37490Trippe?"
37490Understand?"
37490Want a drink?"
37490Want to have a look?"
37490Was it possible no one had yet discovered that a second murder had been perpetrated in the Sylvanus Gage house?
37490Was it, perhaps, because the murderer had come upon him so suddenly that he had not had time to reach the hidden opening?
37490Was n''t that it?"
37490Well, what proof have you got?"
37490What can I do or say to convince you that I did n''t kill Gage?"
37490What else was he to think?"
37490What had become of it, and how much, if anything, did Pinto know?
37490What had happened to her?
37490What happened to you?
37490What has happened?
37490What have you gained by it?"
37490What if Helen had never walked out of the door across the way?
37490What if Pinto should never recover consciousness?
37490What if she should still be inside the house?
37490What more natural than that, for the second time within a week, you should use the tunnel as a means of escape?"
37490What was it shaped like?"
37490What was the matter back at the office?
37490What were you thinking of, Pinto?"
37490What''s the big idea?
37490What''s the idea?"
37490What''s the use trying to hog it all for your paper?"
37490What, Granger-- not backing out of the bargain, I hope?"
37490Where did he keep the real stuff?"
37490Where did you say this place of yours is situated?"
37490Where do you get the stuff, anyhow?"
37490Where does she come in, Slim?"
37490Where does this precious gang hang out?
37490Where elsh would I be going?
37490Where is its headquarters?"
37490Where is the place?"
37490Where was Granger?
37490Which is it?"
37490Which particular one would you like to have me use to- night?"
37490Which way had she turned, what had happened to her, and where was she now?
37490Who else could have made his escape in such an inexplicable manner?
37490Who kidnaped you?"
37490Who would ever have dreamed that the Gray Phantom would go to such extremes to clear himself in the eyes of a girl?"
37490Why could he not achieve another of the astounding feats that had made his name famous?
37490Why deny it?"
37490Why did you want to know?"
37490Why do n''t you get a move on?"
37490Why do n''t you put a fellow wise to your source of supply?"
37490Why had Gage not made use of the secret exit on the night of the murder?
37490Why should n''t he have a hard- working patrolman?"
37490Why, then, had he gone out of his way to keep the crime secret?
37490Why?"
37490Will you strip voluntarily, or must I tap you on the head and undress you?
37490Yet, with the whole city and its environs converted into a vast man trap, what could he do?
37490You did n''t expect to be a member only in name?"
37490You do n''t think I committed those murders?"
37490You follow me, Peng Yuen?"
37490You get the idea, I hope?"
37490You newspaper guys think you''re pretty wise, do n''t you?
37490You saw the murder committed?"
37490You were in Gage''s bedroom when Mrs. Trippe was murdered?"
37490You''re not kidding me?"
37490Your object in coming here was n''t to interview the skeletons upstairs, was it?"
37490exclaimed the Phantom,"How did you get here?"
39891Abel,said I,"that footman who drove us from the station must be one of the Scotland Yard lot; what''s he doing in this house?"
39891Ah, Sutton, that''s you, is it?
39891Ah,said he,"it is like that then?
39891Am I likely to forget that folly?
39891And ca n''t you think of any explanation at all?
39891And if I make you a bid you are prepared to furnish me with the history both of it and of yourself?
39891And if another has it?
39891And if you go to the ball to- night without your bracelet----?
39891And seriously,said I, beginning to experience a glimmer of interest,"you believe that she has discovered something of importance?"
39891And she will wear it at the ball to- night?
39891And the Colonel and his daughter and the invalid?
39891And the assassin?
39891And the man''s daughter?
39891And who else knows anything when he''s settled with?
39891And yet,I continued,"there can not be three larger opals in Europe; do you know the stone at Vienna?"
39891And you believed it?
39891And you sold the booty to the old Frenchman in the Rue de Stockholm?
39891And you yourself have no suspicion, no faint idea of the cause of such a letter as that?
39891Are the Chilians such wonderful dancers then?
39891Are you sure that you are making no mistake?
39891But your estimate of my opinion is hopelessly flattering; it concerns jewels, I suppose?
39891But,said I, as I pitched her glass into the fireplace,"what I want to know is, how did I come to think that the stuff was real?
39891Could you make no excuse to remain at home?
39891D''ye think they''d say that?
39891Did he now?
39891Did not I read somewhere that he was going to be married?
39891Did you say the police was''ere?
39891Do I go round to the taverns swilling gin- and- water with such gutter birds? 39891 Do you know a tall man with yellow hair who''s got two emeralds to sell?"
39891Do you know that my husband values the rubies in each of those pendants at eight hundred pounds?
39891Do you mean to say,I exclaimed, beginning to understand the situation,"that you took the case without his permission?"
39891Do you miss the excitement of London?
39891Do you really possess an enemy?
39891Do you see him often now?
39891Do you sell these stones for yourself or as an agent?
39891Do you think that any one will get to hear of it? 39891 Do you think that?"
39891Do you think they''re bad?
39891Does he say what he wants?
39891First,said he,"tell me, did Mademoiselle speak of a letter she had received?"
39891Guv''ner,he said,"lay your fingers on that; do you feel it?
39891Have I asked him-- why, look at him; is n''t he ten years older since he met you in Bond- street?
39891Have they put a price upon it?
39891Have they robbed my wife''s grave? 39891 Have you any idea as to the man''s whereabouts now?"
39891Have you asked him, then?
39891Have you brought them with you now?
39891Have you got your revolver with you, sir?
39891Have you?
39891How could you know it?
39891How do you know that he was a swindler?
39891How should I know?
39891How will that help to its recovery?
39891How''s that?
39891How?
39891Hullo,cried he, in his cracked and piercing voice;"why it''s you, is it?
39891I bet him a hundred she''d sell you a piece of glass for a sapphire; and I do n''t suppose you''ll deny that she did it?
39891I followed you here, as you say----"For what purpose, may I ask?
39891I gathered that from your words,said I next;"and of course you wrote it for very good reasons?"
39891I guess not,she replied;"but I miss some one who can talk to me as you talk; you''re going to stop awhile, are n''t you?"
39891I knew there was a woman in it all along-- but this one, why, she''s a regular flier, ai n''t she, sir?
39891I want to know how you came to learn that the stones were in Madame Brewer''s grave?
39891I will send a note with pleasure if you think this man can help us; but who is he, and why have I not heard of him before?
39891I wonder what emeralds they were?
39891I''m glad to see you, by Jove; have you such a thing as half- a- crown in your pocket?
39891Is Abel in the shop?
39891Is he dead?
39891Is he here in Paris?
39891Is it a serious offer?
39891Is it a stone with a history?
39891Is it me that should be running for it? 39891 Is n''t it possible to suspect some one just to pass the time?"
39891It has lost more of its color, then?
39891It''ll be all right in a month, Sutton,said he;"you know the old chap''s hard enough, but he ca n''t let me marry on nothing a year, can he now?"
39891Margaret may come too?
39891Monsieur is robbed, and_ chez- moi_?
39891Never mind that,said I, as we drove off sharply,"what did they say at the station?"
39891No, you never found them, did you? 39891 Of course,"said I;"you do n''t think I am a policeman, do you?
39891Oh, that''s what you want to know, is it? 39891 Oh, you''re engaged,"I ventured dolefully;"you never told me that----""Did n''t I?"
39891Oh,said I, taken aback at his false conclusion,"it is that, is it?
39891On the cushion?
39891Should I undo all these papers if I had not?
39891Since you are determined to be there to night,said I,"perhaps you will give me Monsieur Georges Barré''s address?"
39891So I did, so I did; but a man can take his own back again, ca n''t he? 39891 Tell me,"said I, stopping of a sudden before her,"what led you to me?"
39891Tell me,said I,"you had no help in this work?"
39891That lady who just left,said I,"did she have a carriage or a cab?"
39891Then it is n''t yours?
39891Then what''s he want to do it for? 39891 Then you knew who killed the other victim at Marseilles?"
39891There are none of your lady friends who would hazard a joke with you?
39891They are fine stuff,said I;"do you happen to know where they come from?"
39891They''re upstairs, sir, will you go up?
39891Was it by your orders?
39891Was that by your order?
39891Was this dancing girl married to a scamp like that?
39891Well, and why ca n''t he come ashore? 39891 Well, but you ca n''t get them back now?"
39891Well, my man, what is it?
39891Well, old chap,--I was that already to him--"what can I tell you, and what do you know?"
39891Well, on that table then?
39891Well, there''s no one in this room to think of, is there?
39891Well,he said,"are you frightened to look at it?"
39891Well,he said,"what is it, what does he say?
39891Well,said I,"what the devil do you want?
39891Well,said he, after I had looked at them long and closely,"how do you like them?"
39891Well,said he, after a pause,"do you find much the matter with them?"
39891Well,said he,"I fancy my hundred''s all right?"
39891What d''ye want in my grounds?
39891What did he say?
39891What do you know about the bull''s- eye?
39891What do you mean?
39891What do you say? 39891 What does it mean?"
39891What guarantee have I that it will not be worthless in a month''s time?
39891What hundred?
39891What should I be here for if I had n''t?
39891What sort of a stone is it?
39891What the devil does the man mean?
39891What''re you going to do?
39891What''s that?
39891Where did ye see my nephew?
39891Which are?
39891Which means that your next partner might be the thief?
39891Who is he?
39891Why do I waste my time on you?
39891Why not,said I,"since he returned the jewels to you?"
39891Why, what do you mean?
39891Why,said I,"I might ask you that question, since you made yourself so much at home there; do n''t you know them?"
39891Wo n''t it wait?
39891Wo n''t you give me an idea of it now?
39891Wo n''t you have a brandy and seltzer or something before you go?
39891Would I forget that?
39891You are Monsieur Bernard Sutton?
39891You are still at Villemomble?
39891You have come to buy my opal?
39891You have n''t come to sell me anything?
39891You have no one else you would care to consult in such a case?
39891You hussy,he hissed, bending her by the arms backward almost to the floor;"what do you watch me for?
39891You know most of the people then?
39891You mean a magnifying glass, I suppose?
39891You promise me that?
39891You see something now which you did not see ten minutes ago,she cried;"you will surely tell me?"
39891You think so?
39891You will experiment for me, then?
39891You will please do nothing of the sort; did she give her name?
39891You''ll not be a county man?
39891You''re a pretty nark, ai n''t you?
39891You''re going to follow her home then?
39891You''re not asking after my health,said he,"but I''ll let you know that I''m eat up with cold; can ye have done with it straight off?"
39891Your husband''s father was a rich man?
39891_ Mon Dieu!_said he;"then she did not sell it to you?"
39891A skilful man had in all probability done that-- but which man, or perhaps men?
39891A tall, yellow-- let me see, now----""You sold him some tabloids of nitro- glycerine; perhaps that will help to his identification?"
39891And as her voice rose shrilly, only to be modulated to the pretence of suavity again, he blurted out,--"Evelyn, what are you going to do?"
39891And how long is it since you missed the pendant?"
39891And if the gem had any connection with a previous affair of Barré''s why did he give it to his_ fiancée_?
39891And you thought I might amuse you with a trick?
39891Are any more men expected now?"
39891Are you seeking to know the value of it?"
39891Before you became the_ fiancée_ of Monsieur Barré was there-- well, was there any other in your thoughts?"
39891But I should want some money now, to- night, before an hour-- could you let me have it?"
39891But could he?
39891But, of course, you have shown this letter to your relatives?"
39891By what chance had the man found me out?
39891Ca n''t you see I''m dressing?"
39891Did I make such a fool of myself when I was his age?"
39891Did he ask you to show him any American tickers, by the way?
39891Did you bring my pistol?"
39891Did you tear it in front?"
39891Do I hobnob with all the half- starved limners in Fleet Street?
39891Do I speak the truth?"
39891Do I surprise you, eh?
39891Do n''t you know that I lost a marquise brooch at the Hayes''s dance the other evening?
39891Do you follow me in this?"
39891Do you know anything of these people?"
39891God help me, Sutton what shall I do?"
39891Granted this, what is the work before the chemist?
39891Had I not satisfied myself completely as to the Colonel''s standing, his means, his reputation, and his personal character?
39891Had I walked into a trap at the bidding of a pretty woman?
39891Had not he passed most brilliantly through a London season?
39891Had the body been found?
39891Had the detectives a clue?
39891Has n''t he what Sheridan calls-- but there, I must n''t say it; you know-- a something disinheriting countenance?"
39891Have you got any brandy in the house?"
39891He considered it for a moment, standing still under the lamp; but at last he stamped his foot and whistled, saying:--"You want him, do you?
39891He is a chap that writes for the papers and runs that rag with the rum pictures in it; what do you call it, Paris and something or other?"
39891How came it that he alone had the history of such an ancient gem?
39891I asked, as she fell into a vulgar burst of laughter at her own humor; but she said,--"Do I possess one?
39891I examined the photograph, and then asked casually:"What is this M. Jules?
39891I guess I''ve got an appetite on, and so''s Margaret, eh, little girl?"
39891I never saw better work in my life, and must have been a fool when I let them go out of my possession-- d''ye see?"
39891I remarked, as I looked full at him,"you''ve made rather a quick change, have n''t you?"
39891I shall say that you are engaged, and will see her to- morrow; monsieur leaves Paris at nine o''clock_ hein_?"
39891I should like to compare them, if you''ll let me?
39891I was in Pangbourne yesterday, where a tall, yellow- haired man was speaking of you; who is he, I wonder?"
39891If you will stay here and nurse yourself, I will do that at once?"
39891In that case, how would they know even of my necessity?
39891Is it not just possible that she will be ultimately the means of turning the laugh upon herself?
39891Is n''t it dreadful?"
39891Is n''t it really awful to think that at every party we go to thieves go with us?
39891It concerns the bracelet, of course?"
39891It is not for me to tell you about your life, is it?"
39891It remains to ask, What steps must the chemist follow who would seek to turn from his crucible the perfect jewel?
39891Look for yourself, and say what do you call that?"
39891Look here, Sutton, could n''t you charge him an extra hundred, and go halves?
39891May I be permitted to light the candles?"
39891Need I tell you that the reasoning convinced me?
39891Now, what do you want to know?"
39891Now, would you like to play cards after dinner, or shall we have a little music?"
39891Of course, I could have taken cab to Scotland Yard, and have told my tale; but with no other support, how far would that have availed me?
39891Oh, you slow- goers in London, you poor lame cab- horses, what do you know of life or of woman, or even of the sky above you?
39891One burning anxiety alone troubled him-- had the steamer sailed?
39891Shall I take you down?"
39891She had made that, as I could swear: why should she not make a hundred, a thousand?
39891She went up again at this, and he turned to me, asking,--"What shall I do now, sir?
39891Show me something cheap, something that five pounds will buy, d''ye see?
39891Tell me, wench; do you hear?
39891That poor girl is moped to death here, and now you''re going to pay for our honeymoon-- cost does n''t matter, does it, old man?"
39891That was a poor compliment, was n''t it?"
39891That which I had to ask myself, and to answer in the space of ten seconds, was the question,"Now, or to- morrow?"
39891That''s a delightfully mixed metaphor, is n''t it?
39891That''s a fair offer, is n''t it?"
39891The chemist is beginning to ask himself, Were these men such fools?
39891The other stuff is in my dressing- room there; Margaret, will you get it?"
39891Then I asked Michel,--"Who brought this?"
39891Then she said,--"Is it Mr. Ladd you''re wanting?"
39891There then was the clue; but how was it to be used?
39891There was running through my mind the question which must have arisen under such circumstances: Where had he got it from?
39891Was he not staying in Lord Aberly''s house?
39891Well, when I saw them at the house, I concluded it was ridiculous to give a boy like that such treasures, and so----""You spoke to him?"
39891Were all the guarantees I had received in the Colonel''s favor fraudulent or mistaken?
39891Were there not twenty members of the Bachelors''Club seeking to pay for the sake of his daughter the fine imposed upon amorous backsliders?
39891What did it mean, I kept asking myself; the illness, was it sham?
39891What did it mean?
39891What do you mean by coming here?
39891What harm then could a broker''s daughter, three thousand miles away, do to him?
39891What''s that?"
39891What, then, should I say, or how much should I dare with the great responsibility before me of crushing a man whose heart was already broken?
39891When will it end?"
39891Whence came his seedy clothes and his jewels?
39891Where are the emeralds you have stolen?
39891Where was he to be put ashore?
39891Where was he?
39891Who are you, and how''s your family?"
39891Who could do such a thing with a woman who never harmed a living soul?
39891Who has done it?
39891Who was the pretty woman who had gone up from the hard with him?
39891Why should I tell you how science now laughs at these old philosophers, and lumps them together as little better than maniacs?
39891Why, man, what have I half- ruined myself for?"
39891Why, then, I asked, should not this man also scatter the tidings that I would give so many hundreds of francs for the recovery of the scimitar?
39891Why, you brazen- faced blackguard, what do you mean?"
39891Will he prosecute me?"
39891Will you buy my sapphire?
39891Would you see me murdered?"
39891Yet does she laugh at them with good reason?
39891Yet if jealousy were the motive of the warning, how, I asked, came the bloodstains upon the bracelet?
39891You do not go to the opera until midnight, I presume?"
39891You have come here to sell it, I presume?"
39891You have n''t sold them any jewels, have you?"
39891You remember the necklace of green diamonds I gave my poor wife, and buried with her?"
39891You will not refuse me this?"
39891cried I with surprise;"who is she?"
39891he asked as if of himself; then turning to me, he exclaimed,"Will you come upstairs with me a minute?"
39891he asked, while I sipped the wine with satisfaction;"it''ll have been in London, perhaps?"
39891he kept exclaiming;"Why, man alive, do you think I''m made of money?
39891he replied, looking more knowing than ever;"that''s a ripping fine Bank of Engraving to go on bail on, ai n''t it?
39891is there anything more beautiful on earth than a perfect sapphire?
39891it''s a Colt, ai n''t it?
39891my visit, was it foolhardy?
39891or how mar his happiness?
39891she asked with her limpid laugh;"of course you could n''t search the curate''s pockets, unless sermons were missing instead of rubies?"
39891the man from London, was he on a fool''s errand?
37820A white paper in a blue envelope?
37820A_ knot- hole_?
37820About two o''clock?
37820All?
37820And he said nothing of destroying his will?
37820And is the will in existence?
37820And speaking of that matter, you can no doubt talk with Miss Garth on very intimate and familiar terms?
37820And there is no doubt of the bureau having been kept locked all the time?
37820And those the other way?
37820And what about the painted hatch? 37820 And what did you do?"
37820And what does a steward want with a lot of boiler- maker''s tools aboard? 37820 And where did you find the will?"
37820And who''s to protect me against the spite of those I shall offend if I tell you?
37820And you found the will there?
37820Anything else? 37820 Appointed by will?"
37820Are you anxious to keep him here?
37820Been robbed himself, you mean? 37820 But ca n''t we have the rooms put back into something of the state they were in?
37820But have you any positive idea as to what has become of the gold?
37820But now what I want to know is what about all those_ Nicobar_ people watching and suspecting one another? 37820 But the nurse has an honest character, has n''t she?"
37820But then how? 37820 But then what''s he to do with the stuff when he''s got it?
37820But we''re not going to drink a pint of common whisky between us?
37820But what about the hand?
37820But what did they do to GÃ © rard before he went away?
37820But what in the world for?
37820But what sort of a clue have you got? 37820 But what''s up?
37820But what-- what does it all mean?
37820But where did you get all this information? 37820 But why did n''t Gullen take more than two cases?"
37820But why did n''t you tell me all the conclusions you had arrived at at the time?
37820But why?
37820But would n''t that be noticed?
37820But, again, supposing it_ were_ Laker? 37820 But,"I asked,"supposing those loaves to contain bombs, how were the bombs put there?
37820But,I said,"what about this bread?
37820But,I said,"what of that aimless scribble you spoke of that GÃ © rard made in the police station?
37820But,said the perplexed Plummer,"where did you get your clue?
37820But-- but how? 37820 But-- but what about Laker''s mother and Miss Shaw?"
37820But_ he''s_ not a Lee?
37820By the bye, Mr. Norton,asked Hewitt,"supposing your suspicions to be justified, what do you suppose the carpenter would do with the bullion?"
37820Ca n''t we go back and tell him?
37820Can you manage,he said,"to send Miss Garth out for a walk this morning-- with somebody?"
37820Can you remember_ everything_ he said?
37820Can you tell me what took place?
37820Did anybody else know where Mr. Holford kept his will?
37820Did he do nothing else, or see anybody else?
37820Did n''t you see?
37820Did the constable notice a door open near by?
37820Did you cord them like this yourself?
37820Did you ever have occasion to go to the bureau yourself?
37820Did you see him frequently?
37820Did you see him?
37820Did you see the two women who were waiting to see a member of the firm at Liddle, Neal& Liddle''s?
37820Did you see? 37820 Do you ever remember my speaking of an intimate friend, a Mr. Holford?
37820Do you know anything of his associates out of the office?
37820Do you know anything of his habits-- what he used to do in his spare time, and so forth?
37820Do you mean this man was an accomplice?
37820Do you mean you think it''s still in the vessel-- hidden somewhere?
37820Do you mean,Hewitt asked,"that Mr. Brasyer might give us some useful information?"
37820Everything will go to this nephew,said Hewitt,"of course?"
37820Gullen? 37820 Had he been there?"
37820Has he been in this house between the day you last saw the will in that drawer and yesterday, when you failed to find it?
37820Have you got the stuff, then?
37820He will not be moved just yet, I take it?
37820How are Mr. Mellis and Miss Garth affected toward one another-- are they friendly?
37820How d''ye do, Mr. Hewitt, how d''ye do?
37820How did you judge which way to turn then?
37820How long was Miss Garth gone?
37820How will the police feel over this?
37820I hope they''ve made you both quite comfortable, uncle?
37820I suppose your men do n''t know anything about it?
37820In the right hand top drawer?
37820Inspector Plummer, I understand,Hewitt remarked,"has the affair in hand, on behalf of the police?"
37820Is either of the brothers Foster left- handed?
37820Is it all right?
37820Is it the will you mean?
37820Is n''t that rather an unusual form of murder-- hanging?
37820Is the nurse still about the place?
37820Just so, Now, what do you know of him?
37820Just so, and when they marched him away because of the forgery, Mr. Kingscote changed into his rooms?
37820Just you let the carpenter take care of his own stores, will you, Mr. Brasyer? 37820 Let''s see-- Chelsea, is n''t it?"
37820Might I''ave the honour of addressin''the salvage gentlemen?
37820Mine? 37820 Miss Garth, you say, has kept all the keys since the beginning of Mr. Holford''s illness?"
37820Mr. Mellis knows of the death, I suppose?
37820Mr. Mellis said nothing about it, then?
37820My old lodgings?
37820No, I do n''t think so; but I think what I''ve told you is pretty well enough for the present, eh? 37820 No, how should I?
37820Not on to its face?
37820Not seen him? 37820 Now, then, what was this?
37820Now,said Hewitt, turning to Merrick,"we must have that fellow of yours-- what''s his name-- Gullen, is n''t it?
37820Odd, was n''t it? 37820 Of course; and Mrs. Lamb''s exact address is-- what?"
37820Oh, which is that?
37820Oh, yes-- here it is, I think; is n''t this it? 37820 Perhaps,"Mr. Crellan ventured at a blurt,"perhaps she was walking in her sleep?"
37820Quite sure of that, I suppose?
37820Shall I tell her our object?
37820Shall I try him?
37820That is all, then, up to the present? 37820 That is quite certain, I suppose,"Hewitt remarked--"that she could not have been asleep?"
37820That rather knocks a hole in the theory of self- sacrifice, does n''t it?
37820That seems to show pretty plainly,he said,"that he must have struggled with them and was thrown forward, does n''t it?"
37820That was all?
37820The man who took the rooms on Monday, now-- you''d never seen him before, had you?
37820The man with the broken shoe?
37820The two missing cases could n''t have dropped out that way, of course?
37820The_ what_?
37820Then is_ that_ anything like him?
37820Then who are the people at 197, Hackworth Road?
37820Then who was it?
37820Then you do n''t give the case up?
37820Then you think somebody else has been on the scene of the tragedy, beside the victim and the brothers?
37820There now, what do you make of that?
37820There''s very little to be learned from the body, is there?
37820They did n''t leave me much material downstairs, did they? 37820 This does n''t look very symmetrical, does it?"
37820Well, and suppose he had taken these boxes, where do you think he would keep them?
37820Well, he saw me a little distance off-- I was behind there, at one of the desks-- and raised his hand to me, and said,''How d''ye do?'' 37820 Well, sir, and what do you want?"
37820Well, suppose it is, what then?
37820Well, what do you think yourself, now? 37820 Well, what?
37820Well,Hewitt replied, with another smile,"that would be carrying a practical joke rather far, would n''t it?
37820Well,said Merrick, grinning across the table at Hewitt,"this is a queer go, is n''t it?
37820Well,said Plummer hazily, looking first at the unconscious prisoner and then at Hewitt,"but what about the swag?"
37820Well,she asked,"are you satisfied now?"
37820Well,the inspector said,"not much to be got out of him, is there?
37820Well-- the fact is-- we could n''t find it----"Then, what do you mean, sir, by calling yourself an executor with no will to warrant you?
37820Were you present when Mr. Mellis came to see his uncle last Saturday?
37820What did he do?
37820What have you done about the missing two-- anything?
37820What were they?
37820What''s all this?
37820What''s that?
37820What''s the case?
37820What''s this,I asked,"a cryptogram?"
37820What, Gullen?
37820What, do you mean it was he you chased across the grounds last night?
37820What, do you suppose he was concerned in any way with the disappearance of this gold?
37820What, the''Hoxton Yob''?
37820When did this occur?
37820When did you leave yourself?
37820When did you yourself last actually see the will?
37820When you cut it down,he said,"did it fall in a heap?"
37820Where does that lead to?
37820Where is Mr. Mellis now?
37820Where?
37820Which are----?
37820Which were disturbed? 37820 Who''s Kerrett?"
37820Whom are these for?
37820Whose story is this about the diamond robbery from Harvey Challitt?
37820Why my old lodgings?
37820Why not a Lee,_ pal_? 37820 Why, do you mean that Miss Garth has been hypnotised by-- by-- Cranley Mellis?"
37820Why, what''s that?
37820Why-- what do you want stables for? 37820 Why?"
37820Why?
37820Will you just hang about here, Brett,he asked,"while I hurry round to the nearest iron- monger''s?
37820Yes, and everything else too, eh? 37820 Yes, perhaps,"he said,"but where''s your sharp look- out?
37820Yes, that was all; but I think it''s pretty well enough, do n''t you? 37820 Yesterday,"said Hewitt,"no doubt you saw various pieces of wreckage floating about?"
37820You are sure he went then?
37820You are sure that is where he is gone?
37820You have had no reason to suspect him of dishonesty before, I take it?
37820You knew the purport of Mr. Holford''s will, I take it, and understand what its loss may mean to yourself?
37820You mean you ca n''t find the will, is n''t that it?
37820You mean you_ do n''t_ think they did it, then? 37820 You noticed that somebody had stolen his watch, I suppose?"
37820You say you are not of the club,he said,"but what is there to prove that?
37820You say you feel sure Mr. Holford did not destroy the will himself?
37820You still ca n''t remember any hiding- places or panels, or that sort of thing in the wainscot or anywhere?
37820You were in attendance on Mr. Holford, I believe, Mrs. Turton, since the beginning of his last illness?
37820You will have him taken to the infirmary, I suppose?
37820You''re sure of that?
37820You''ve rather cut them out, eh?
37820You''ve thought of secret drawers, I suppose?
37820You, I take it, have known Miss Garth a long time?
37820Youngish man, clean- shaven, and well- dressed?
37820''''Ere, Norton,''''e sez, or words to that effeck,''why should n''t we try gettin''them things ashore with us-- you know, the cases-- eh?
37820197, Hackworth Road?"
37820Ah, we often find it''s betting, do n''t we, Mr. Hewitt?
37820Ai n''t that enough?"
37820All very clever, eh?"
37820And these are the mysterious panels, are they?"
37820And what d''you think''appened, sir, only last Tuesday?
37820And why make me your excuse?"
37820Anything else, now?"
37820Are n''t you well?"
37820As to the other rooms, now, have they been set to rights?"
37820Baking the bread round them would have been risky, would n''t it?"
37820Big enough, is n''t it?
37820But how?
37820But if they suspect me, why do n''t they say so?
37820But if you''ve nothing to do for an hour or so there is no harm in putting on your considering cap, is there?
37820But it was in that bureau, was n''t it?"
37820But it''s odd, is n''t it?"
37820But what do you want me to do-- find the will?"
37820But what is your theory?
37820But what_ do_ you mean?"
37820But where did it come from?
37820But why-- you do n''t suppose the people who defaced the panels also murdered the man who painted them?"
37820But, first, will you tell me how long Laker has been a walk- clerk?"
37820By the bye, I suppose since you saw Mr. Hewitt you have n''t happened to remember anything more to tell him?"
37820By the way, Brett, which paper has the fullest report of the inquest yesterday?
37820By the way, have you another uncut loaf in the place?"
37820Can I see it?"
37820Can I send somebody at once in a cab to my friend Brett at his chambers?"
37820Can you describe it in detail?"
37820Can you see between the trees?
37820Can you spot the meaning?
37820Come, I''ll guess the_ tem_[4] he comes from-- it''s from Roumania, eh?
37820Could it be managed now?"
37820Could it be possible that the old superstition of the Hand of Glory remained alive in a practical shape at this day?
37820Crellan?"
37820Did he carry it rolled?
37820Did he mention it?"
37820Did n''t I tell you I put it there myself as a marker?
37820Did n''t you say you knew the man?"
37820Did you ever hear of a real woman who''d desert a son or a lover merely because he was a criminal?
37820Did you find out who brought the parcels, and who they were addressed to?"
37820Did you get rid of Miss Shaw?"
37820Did you know him yourself?"
37820Did you notice anything about the man that gave you a clue to his occupation-- or at any rate to his habits?"
37820Did you see a hatch- grating floating yesterday that was different from the others?
37820Do I make it clear?"
37820Do n''t you know the man''s a boiler- maker by regular trade, and has only taken to stewardship for the last year or two?
37820Do n''t you remember that at night the Horse- shoe Hotel sign is illuminated by two rows of gas lights?
37820Do n''t you remember the case reported a few months ago, in which a child was drowned as a sacrifice in Wallachia in order to bring rain?
37820Do you care to let your uncle''s dinner go by the board, and follow?"
37820Do you claim it?"
37820Do you dive yourself, then?"
37820Do you feel particularly interested in the case?
37820Do you know anything of aphasia?"
37820Do you know anything of your brother''s private papers-- as they were before his death?"
37820Do you mean to say that they stood there and watched Sneathy hang himself without interfering?"
37820Do you mind opening it at that place and seeing for yourself?"
37820Do you really think he did that?"
37820Do you remember?"
37820Do you see?"
37820Do you suspect a theft of papers?"
37820Does his subsequent record make him look like a person whose stories are to be accepted without doubt or question?"
37820Eh?"
37820Even if you do, where''s the hand?
37820Furniture and so forth?"
37820Going to find that bullion by rule of three?"
37820Half- way up he turned his head, and, as he went on,"Why, Nelly, my dear,"he said,"what''s the matter?
37820Has it been brought here?"
37820Has_ anything_--anything_ at all_--been left as it was on Tuesday morning?"
37820Have you any suspicions?"
37820Have you anything else in view?"
37820Have you caught them?"
37820Have you done anything?"
37820Have you told any one of your difficulty?"
37820Have you tried him with pen and paper?"
37820He turned to the gipsy and pointed to the hand on the table:"_ Yag- varst_,[10] eh?"
37820He was always messing about down there in his pantry, and once I distinctly heard knocking there, and when I went down to see, whom should I meet?
37820He''s had a knock or two in the face-- notice that?"
37820Here, Bennett, you have seen plenty of their doings-- cricket, shooting, and so on-- do you remember if either is left- handed?"
37820Hewitt read it and then asked,--"Your friend Mr. Mellis, I understand, was going straight to town yesterday morning?"
37820Hewitt sat and wrote a note, and by way of making conversation said to the inspector on duty,"Anything very startling this way to- day?"
37820Hewitt stepped quietly over to the doctor and, without disturbing the man by the fire, said interrogatively,"Aphasia?"
37820Hewitt turned to Winsor& Weekes''s clerk and asked,"The man who took this room called himself Westley, did n''t he?"
37820Hewitt?"
37820Hewitt?"
37820How are your nerves to- day-- pretty steady?
37820How did you guess that?"
37820How would you class the crime?"
37820How?"
37820I did n''t say we had n''t found it yet, did I?
37820I may understand that?"
37820I mean, if you''ve nothing better to do, would you come with me?"
37820I suppose there''s a handy man kept about the place?"
37820I suppose, by the bye, Miss Garth is not exactly what you would call a''strong- minded''woman?"
37820I wonder if the police thought to examine the beds for traces of rooting up, or questioned the housekeeper as to any plants being missing?
37820I wonder what''s happened?"
37820Is it an important link?"
37820Is this Wedbury Hall?"
37820It has n''t been in this book all the time, has it?"
37820It was about eleven the next morning when Merrick received the following note, brought by a boatman:--"DEAR MERRICK,--Am I commissioned?
37820Keep your hand to the burner, and when I call out shut it off_ at once_; see?"
37820Meanwhile what to do?"
37820Merrick put his helmet against Hewitt''s, and shouted--"Satisfied now?
37820Merrick?"
37820Merston?"
37820More especially what about the cases the captain and the steward are said to have fetched ashore?"
37820Mr. Crellan laid his hand on Hewitt''s knee,"I hope,"he said,"I have n''t dragged you away from any important business?"
37820Mr. Jones he said his name was; but how many Joneses is there in London, sir?"
37820Now is there any place on the whole premises that you can suggest where this will may possibly be hidden?"
37820Now, ca n''t you think of something those three things in that order suggest?"
37820Now, where should I inquire about it?"
37820Of course I know I can do that if I knew where they were, but how can I find''em?
37820On the tug, as the men were unscrewing them from there waterproof prisons, Merrick asked Hewitt--"Will you try the''lotion''now?"
37820Perhaps I have been wrongly informed as to the number of cases that should have been there?"
37820Perhaps the Wallachian part?"
37820Perhaps we might make an arrangement with somebody here who has a stable?"
37820Perhaps you''ll come?
37820Presently I said:"It all rests with the police now, of course?"
37820Rum fad, eh?"
37820Rum thing, how the fancies takes''em when they''re a bit touched, ai n''t it?
37820See this?"
37820Seen enough of the bottom?"
37820Shall you start at once?"
37820Somebody coming up the drive in a fly, is n''t it?"
37820Something left behind with Laker''s name on it, perhaps?
37820Something wrong with the bullion I''m told, is n''t it?"
37820Suppose it should be somebody personating Laker?
37820That''s about enough, I think, eh?
37820The bullion is in bars, I understand?"
37820The question is, who?"
37820Then he asked the inspector,"Have you searched the Frenchman?"
37820Then my uncle and Mr. Hardwick turned on Martin Hewitt with doubts and many questions:"Why do you call it suicide?"
37820Then said Hewitt( I translate):"You''re not all Lees here, I see?"
37820Then, what possible motive could anybody else about here have for such a crime?
37820There are no other relatives, you say, who would benefit by intestacy?"
37820There was a pause; and then Merrick added,"By the bye, Hewitt, this is rather your line, is n''t it?
37820This done, he produced a very large and thick pocket- book, fastened by a broad elastic band, and said,"Well, what do you think of this?
37820This-- this is the real will, I suppose?"
37820Very likely, was n''t it?"
37820Want to write a note?"
37820Was anything else damaged?
37820Was he wearing a hat when he was found?"
37820Was it found like that?"
37820Well, what do you make of it?"
37820What are they?
37820What can we do for you?"
37820What could anybody want with a dead man''s right hand and certain locks of his hair?
37820What did they say?
37820What did you deduce from?
37820What did you expect to find in it?
37820What do you think of that?
37820What does it mean?"
37820What does the whole case look like?
37820What gave you the tip?"
37820What have they done with him?"
37820What is he to do with those diamonds?
37820What is it?"
37820What makes you suppose that this was a burglar who did n''t want to burgle, and a well- dressed man, and so on?"
37820What shall we do now?"
37820What street was he found in?"
37820What that man says makes the skipper''s case look pretty fishy, does n''t it?
37820What theory would fit it?
37820What was it?
37820What''s all this mathematical business over?
37820What, here?"
37820When at last Hewitt reached the door again,"What was it?"
37820When he''s attended to him will you let your men take Laker home?
37820Where does he keep his shovels and carpet sticks?"
37820Where is it?"
37820Where was this found-- close by here?"
37820Where were the legitimate keys then?"
37820Where''s his sanctum?
37820Where''s your proof?
37820Where?"
37820Who are you?"
37820Who could have been in a weaker nervous state than Miss Garth has been lately?
37820Who was this mysterious man with the broken shoe?
37820Whom do you think of having arrested?"
37820Why did n''t they spread the alarm?
37820Why did n''t you give me the tip to keep him?"
37820Why rather had he not got rid of it before showing himself?
37820Why should Miss Garth go to all this secret trouble to do herself an injury-- to make a beggar of herself?
37820Why should he conspicuously display his wallet-- such a distinctive article-- for the clerk to see and note?
37820Why should he slang and threaten me for looking after these things and keeping my eye on the bullion- room, as was my duty?
37820Why should he trample on the beds, else?
37820Why, what''s it made of?"
37820Will it do for Queen''s taxes, or sanitary inspection, or the gas, or the water- supply?"
37820Will you go and bring in a four- wheeler?
37820Will you see him?"
37820Wonder if Brasyer will find out anything more?
37820Wonder whom_ he_ suspects?"
37820Would he write his name and address, and any other information he might care to give about himself, on the paper before him?
37820You ca n''t tell us where they are, I suppose?"
37820You do n''t mind keeping your eye on that door, do you?
37820You guess it, of course?"
37820You have examined them carefully, I take it?"
37820You have, I suppose, already communicated with the police?"
37820You know the inquest evidence, such as it was, and you saw everything I did in Ivy Cottage?"
37820You know the types of the different newspapers-- which is this?"
37820You mean he stole them himself?
37820You remember I said I was going out with that railway clerk this afternoon, and meant pumping him?
37820You remember Mr. Kingscote''s room where he painted the woodwork so beautiful with gold flowers, and blue, and pink?
37820You will remember that I asked about the handyman''s tool- house?
37820You''set it to rights,''eh?
37820You''ve kept him aboard, of course?"
37820_ Scylla or Charybdis?_ By RHODA BROUGHTON.
37820and who were his friends who left him signs and messages by means of crossed twigs?
37820he asked,"and how?"
37820what did the mutilation mean?
37820what had he to do with the murder of Sneathy?
37338''Only too glad,''Lady Vera?
37338''Ow the''ell did_ you_ get''ere?
37338A branch not yet acknowledged by your profession?
37338A forgery with what object, Doctor Dollar?
37338A little drop of anythin''to drink, doctor?
37338A sudden cloud?
37338All, I suppose?
37338Alone?
37338Alt exalted-- restored to favor-- Jack reformed character-- born again-- forger forgot-- forging ahead, eh?
37338Although no accusation has been made?
37338An Australian?
37338An''good''olesome grub?
37338And after you had-- freed yourself?
37338And does Scarth always do what he likes with him-- afterward?
37338And have you forgotten how nearly you decided in his favor, Mr. Vinson, without all this to turn the scale?
37338And have you no idea how it came there?
37338And how far is that, doctor?
37338And in the end?
37338And now what about your train?
37338And then?
37338And there the matter ended?
37338And there was nothing of all this last year?
37338And what are you really doing about this-- monster?
37338And what can any of you do for him,she cried fiercely--"except take him away from me?"
37338And what do you know?
37338And what form would the treatment take?
37338And what if she rounded on me? 37338 And what''s to happen to him, doctor?"
37338And where is Mr. Croucher at the moment?
37338And where is he now? 37338 And where is this extraordinary establishment?"
37338And which, doctor, for God''s sake, which would you have most hope of curing: a man or a woman?
37338And who is our wonderful friend, doctor, when''e or she''s at''ome?
37338And yet you did nothing?
37338And you believed him?
37338And you expect me to eat my decision on the strength of a hearsay anonymous confession?
37338And you had seen nothing of this man Croucher, and his hand in the affair?
37338And you were roughly handled by Sergeant Simpkins?
37338And you''ve been your own man ever since?
37338And-- and you were man enough not to say a word about it to-- to her?
37338Any relation of Admiral Trevellyn?
37338Are you quite sure?
37338Are you suggesting that there''s no love lost between him and Alt?
37338Are you sure he''s asleep?
37338Are you telling him about our medical scandal?
37338As it never was with me?
37338Before you told him anything?
37338But I hope you do n''t think, because there''s room for two, that there''s another of us still concealed about the premises? 37338 But as far as you have gone, Doctor Dollar?"
37338But did you imagine it for a moment? 37338 But do you know what he''s saying?
37338But have you discovered who did the forgery?
37338But have you reduced your practise to a science, doctor?
37338But it''s more like me arskin''what_ you''re_ up to in a''ouse like this?
37338But not without this man of mine to look after you?
37338But surely that''s an old wives''trick pushed beyond all bounds?
37338But the girl''s another friend of yours? 37338 But was there any blood on it?"
37338But what about his patient?
37338But what, may I ask, do you regard as the very worst type of congenital criminal at the present day?
37338But where were you?
37338But who is there in Winterwald who could wish to compass such a thing?
37338But who should be looking? 37338 But why must you, Dollar?
37338But why, my good fellow?
37338But wo n''t it cost a lot?
37338But you did n''t quite feel like doing it, so at last your master had to come in to do it for you?
37338But you suggest that Alt and Schickel have been on bad terms?
37338But-- don''cher see? 37338 But--_do_ you think you can make anything of him-- this time?"
37338Ca n''t I have my beastly leg set without chloroform? 37338 Can you be tried twice for the same thing, doctor?"
37338Captain-- Dollar?
37338Chloroform?
37338Croucher, of course?
37338Dead?
37338Detective as well as doctor, it appears?
37338Did I say anything?
37338Did he know who it was at sight?
37338Did he tell you so?
37338Did he tell you what that was?
37338Did he threaten you when you-- had your little scene?
37338Did n''t you guess how I found out about her car?
37338Did n''t you know it was broken, too?
37338Did she say it was an accident?
37338Did they tell you so?
37338Did you dog me down here, or did you not?
37338Did you hear how they got hold of it?
37338Did you show him out, Bobby?
37338Do n''t I keep tellin''yer?
37338Do n''t you feel it rather hot in here, Scarth?
37338Do n''t you know the smell of bitter almonds, and have you smelt it yet? 37338 Do they often talk about crime?"
37338Do you happen to know his number?
37338Do you mean a room that sends you off instead of drugs?
37338Do you mean just like the one that-- hanged the gardener?
37338Do you mean the place is empty?
37338Do you mean to say she''d draw back in the last week?
37338Do you mean to say that it''s her name or Croucher''s life?
37338Do you mind saying all that again, Doctor Dollar?
37338Do you mind telling me exactly what you know of a Mr. Mostyn Scarth?
37338Do you remember who bought it?
37338Do you still doubt it? 37338 Do you still refuse to give her name?"
37338Do you think so?
37338Do you-- can you mean yourself and this lady?
37338Do_ you_ know him?
37338Doctor Dollar, are you serious?
37338Does any member of your household?
37338Does it look like one? 37338 Does it often happen, George?"
37338Does n''t that take the cake?
37338Does that mean she was n''t?
37338Easily?
37338Even at this hour? 37338 Fair swine, eh?"
37338Got her prisoner?
37338Had he locked you in?
37338Had n''t I better introduce you in the morning?
37338Had n''t you the waiting- room to yourself?
37338Has n''t he told you all about himself?
37338Have n''t I told you? 37338 Have n''t you any friends you could go and see?"
37338Have you been following me, or is this pure chance?
37338Have you forgot that I saw you together at almost two o''clock?
37338Have you tackled him?
37338He did n''t tell you what it was about?
37338He is n''t going to hang that poor man?
37338He protested his innocence, of course?
37338Hear that, Croucher?
37338How did he manage it?
37338How do you know he had taken it off? 37338 How do you know it''s a disguise?"
37338How long do you suppose he had waited?
37338How long has he been dead?
37338How?
37338How?
37338How?
37338Hurting? 37338 I do n''t; how can I?
37338I hope, Doctor Dollar, it is not to be a function of the new faculty to collaborate in the concealment of crime and criminals?
37338I suppose you hardly knew what you were doing, Lady Vera?
37338I suppose you would n''t care to face it in a motor?
37338I suppose you''ve heard the latest, wherever you''ve been?
37338I think we''ve met before, my man?
37338I thought he turned in early for once in a way?
37338I thought she was your prisoner?
37338I want to know if you remember selling this life- preserver?
37338I wonder if he''s sane enough for that?
37338I''ope you do n''t think I went an''done it all the time, do yer?
37338I''ve given up trying to pump you, Dollar; but-- would it make a_ very_ great scandal if we had to fix this thing on this particular young lady?
37338I? 37338 I?
37338If what does?
37338If what will?
37338In Switzerland, when you were there?
37338In her own room, or where?
37338In opening their eyes?
37338In other words, you would tackle character as ordinary doctors and persons devote themselves to the body and the soul?
37338In some special capacity, I rather gather?
37338In their unfledged state, I suppose?
37338Is anything the matter?
37338Is it anything to do with George? 37338 Is it as bad as that?"
37338Is it otherwise a likely match?
37338Is it possible that you realize the position you are in? 37338 Is it possible you do n''t know what?"
37338Is n''t he living there, then?
37338Is n''t it almost a truism, Mr. Vinson? 37338 Is this another forgery?"
37338Is_ he_ your man?
37338It bears some thinkin''about, do n''t it?
37338It is n''t all over, is it?
37338It isn''t-- oh, surely it is n''t Croucher?
37338It was-- an accident?
37338It''ll be a great rag, wo n''t it, if you fire bang into your own foot? 37338 It''s rather a sensational age, is n''t it, Mr. Vinson?
37338It-- it was n''t you who broke the window for him?
37338Ladies in India get in the habit, do n''t they?
37338Lady Vera,he exclaimed, with unreasonable irritation,"what is the good of asking impossibilities?
37338Let''s have it, then; what is your evidence?
37338Like the Thugs?
37338Lucy-- here-- and you expected her?
37338Man enough? 37338 May I ask who you are and what you want?"
37338May he sit down for a minute, Lady Vera?
37338Myself, Mr. Dale- Bulmer? 37338 Need you ask?"
37338No? 37338 No?"
37338Not of stopping an absolutely wanton crime?
37338Not really?
37338Not the bit about the prussic acid, I hope?
37338Not the least little hint of blackmail?
37338Not you, Croucher?
37338Not--and Dollar stopped to frown--"not Croucher himself?"
37338Nothing that firearms could prevent"Do you mind telling me what it is that has happened?
37338Nothing? 37338 Now do n''t you see where Tyrol comes in?"
37338Now we know why she was so keen on my wretched job... on the whole Navy?... 37338 Now will you do something more for me?"
37338On the other hand, your kit does n''t convince me at all; looks to me as if it would fall to pieces but for what the ladies call a foundation-- eh?
37338On which side of the door were you?
37338One o''the sufferygites----"Corpsed the copper?
37338One o''the''ow much?
37338Or such a mystery?
37338Or your-- or one of those revolvers, sir?
37338Pax Monktons Chase?
37338Rather a savage dog, was n''t it?
37338Reasons that are not so good in law, apparently?
37338Remember the concert at Winterwald, doctor,he went on,"and our talk afterward, and the last talk we ever had there?
37338Reprieved?
37338See that house?
37338Show him to you? 37338 So it was''er, was it?"
37338So that you may tell your patient, I suppose?
37338So you admit that you administered his coup de grace to the late lamented Sergeant Simpkins?
37338So you have had another little scene?
37338So you really came to see me about Alfred Croucher?
37338So you want to see him-- now?
37338Some form of atavism, I presume?
37338Stay here for the night, Doctor Dollar?
37338Surely she did n''t go up there?
37338Talking of books,said Dollar,"the General told me he was writing one, and that you were helping him?"
37338Temporary, did you say? 37338 That madman?"
37338That must''ve been early on, old man? 37338 That the fellow who ca n''t manage a bit of a boy, when he can hold an audience like this in the hollow of his hand?"
37338The fellow pitched a pathetic yarn?
37338The fire?
37338The next compartment on which side?
37338The police? 37338 Then what was the motive, doctor?"
37338They? 37338 This house?"
37338Through the head, did you say?
37338To- night?
37338True that you sold those drawings to this man Rocchi?
37338Until we call him in?
37338Up- stairs somewhere?
37338Was Mrs. Dysone by herself out there-- but for you?
37338Was that all they had to tell you?
37338Was the struggle seen as plainly as the robbery?
37338Was there any rhyme or reason for the suicide?
37338Well, what about it?
37338Well, what do you want?
37338Well, what_ do_ you know?
37338Well, you do n''t look a distinguished patient, do you?
37338Well?
37338Well?
37338Were you close to your broken window at the time?
37338What about her?
37338What about the practise?
37338What about you?
37338What am I saying? 37338 What do you say to clasping both hands behind your head and leading the way down- stairs?"
37338What does that mean?
37338What else?
37338What if I do n''t?
37338What makes you suspect her?
37338What on earth for? 37338 What second attempt?"
37338What the devil do you mean, Doctor Dollar? 37338 What was his weakness?"
37338What was that?
37338What was the other coincidence?
37338What was the weapon he is supposed to have used?
37338What whole job?
37338What''s going to happen to me? 37338 What''s my head all bandaged up for?"
37338What''s that?
37338What''s the matter with your eye?
37338When and where?
37338When do you move in?
37338When does it go?
37338When would that be, Doctor Dollar?
37338When?
37338Where did he buy it?
37338Where did you get it?
37338Where for?
37338Where on earth did you find that? 37338 Where the dooce does_''e_ come in?"
37338Where''s the fire?
37338Which is it?
37338Which of you has borrowed my razor?
37338Which toboggans?
37338Which way did he go-- and how-- foot or taxi?
37338Who rang up?
37338Who says I have n''t?
37338Who? 37338 Why a bad imitation, I wonder?"
37338Why did n''t you tell me?
37338Why did n''t you tell me?
37338Why not? 37338 Why prussic acid, I wonder?"
37338Why should I stay with you?
37338Why should he be a marked man? 37338 Why, Mr. Vinson, what''s happened to the myrmidon?"
37338Why? 37338 Why?"
37338Why?
37338Will it seem credible at second- hand?
37338Will you please go out?
37338Will you take your flask, sir?
37338Wo n''t that meet the immediate case for martyrdom?
37338Wo n''t that rather spoil your game?
37338Wot the''ell mikes yer fink of''i m?
37338Wot''s that?
37338Wot''s that?
37338Wot''s''er nime, Shod?
37338Would you have been in such a hurry to wash your hands of anybody else, and to undo what he''d done?
37338Yet I believe your original mission in this house was to possess yourself of that razor-- and-- use it?
37338Yet even he gets depressed?
37338Yet he lets this sort of thing happen continually?
37338Yet it seems to have been a small wound?
37338Yet this is the sort of thing that''s always liable to happen when one''s back is turned, and always will be until----"Yes?
37338Yet you copied the other two drawings, and you even admit you sold him the copies?
37338You are rather a small party, are n''t you?
37338You can tell me what form they take?
37338You do n''t mean to tell me you know who did?
37338You do n''t mean to tell me, Doctor Dollar, that you actually run a nursing home for unconvicted criminals?
37338You do n''t suppose he''d ended by turning on her?
37338You know I told you I''d had a hard day out of town?
37338You really think you can burn your way to political power?
37338You remember when you came to Prince''s, doctor?
37338You wanted me to assist the good work, I take it?
37338You were there yourself, then, Lady Vera?
37338You were to do something to me with it, I believe, and to leave it in my hand to show I''d done it myself?
37338You will come, wo n''t you? 37338 You would n''t lock me in on the other side?"
37338You would reprieve the apparent murderer, and let the real one continue militant here on earth?
37338You would undertake to tell him everything?
37338You''ve been ferreting things out for yourself, have you?
37338You''ve locked her up in some room?
37338Your ideas are rather sensational, are n''t they, Doctor Dollar?
37338Yuss, Alfie?
37338_ Has_ he settled it?
37338_ In_ the night?
37338_ Is_ it his book?
37338_ Not_ now?
37338_ What?_"A passion for setting places on fire. 37338 _ You_ have, doctor?"
37338A vicious circle, I think you must agree?"
37338Am I to understand that the whole thing was a practical joke, carefully rehearsed for my benefit?"
37338And now----""Yes, General?
37338And wot_''ad_ I done?
37338Are you free to stop as you are, or is there anything you want to settle up first?"
37338Are you free?
37338As I fancy your friends were on bicycles, it struck me that the two- seater might perhaps be yours?"
37338Better to finish''em off at one fell blow, is n''t it?
37338But are you sure?"
37338But have you any conception of the consequences?"
37338But how can I take the responsibility of keeping it if he remains at large as he is now?"
37338But it was not exactly your idea?"
37338But she simply would n''t look the part, would she?
37338But was it?
37338But what else had they done, and where else had they been, within those sardonically silent walls?
37338But what would the Home Secretary say?
37338But you will come and see her for yourself?"
37338Ca n''t you listen for a change?
37338Can you manage it?
37338Could n''t you get into some knickerbockers and stick a sweater over all the rest?
37338Could n''t you send him down here on some pretext, instead of taking me up to him?"
37338Could there be so very much amiss in a household where they knew just what to do for one, and just what to leave undone?
37338Could you conceive a more ingenious irony, or a greater tragedy when the truth comes out?
37338Did anybody see him do it?"
37338Did he slip through your fingers?"
37338Did he tell you he had bitten him in the shoulder?"
37338Did n''t I hear you were in the war?"
37338Did n''t you hear him?"
37338Did she hear them fall?
37338Did you come to see how he was doing?"
37338Did you forget it was the toboggan races this morning?
37338Do I look as if I had?"
37338Do n''t you think you might turn round, Doctor Dollar, and let us shake hands on that?"
37338Do you know what they''ve done?
37338Do you mean to say you did n''t see through the false beard of the gentleman who was picking up his umbrella as we turned into Wigmore Street?"
37338Do you mind dropping me first at Portman Square?"
37338Do you mind giving him these magazines and papers, with my love?
37338Do you mind going down and ringing up New Scotland Yard, Lady Vera?
37338Do you mind telling me why everybody is so sure that this man is the murderer?
37338Does n''t he remind you of a man sitting on a powder- barrel?
37338Edenborough?"
37338Edenborough?"
37338Edenborough?"
37338Edenborough?"
37338Even to- night?"
37338Had they been up- stairs before Vera Moyle ran up the ladder?
37338Has anything alarming happened since you have been at-- Valsugana?"
37338Has he sent for the police?"
37338Has she it always by her?"
37338Have n''t I done worse?
37338He was beginning to ask himself the question when she broke in with one of her own:"What enemies do you mean, Doctor Dollar?"
37338How about that for a tip?"
37338How can I toe the mark unless I get some sleep?
37338How did you know?"
37338How do you know the whole job was n''t one of Jack''s drunken tricks?"
37338How do you suppose he managed that?
37338I believe you saw something of each other in Switzerland?"
37338I buried you alive, did n''t I?"
37338I do n''t suppose the General told you what happened last night?"
37338I had n''t even the cheek to ask her name-- had you?"
37338I know it''s different to a doctor-- but-- but you''re an old soldierman as well, are n''t you?
37338I should n''t be surprised if----""Yes?"
37338I suppose they''re supplied on the premises for distinguished patients?"
37338I suppose you do n''t know what''s been bothering him, Doctor Dollar?
37338I suppose you heard about poor Dingle, the last gardener?"
37338I was there with a taxi meself----""There to meet me, Shod?"
37338If I thought_ she_ was the woman----""What''s that?"
37338If you did n''t commit yourself, Alfie, do n''t you see as somebody else must''ave done?"
37338In the end he said quite bluntly:"I hope you do n''t suggest a ghost behind all this, General?"
37338In-- handcuffs?"
37338Is it true?"
37338Is my natural enemy a friend of yours?
37338Is n''t it inconceivable that his daughter-- apart from everything else I''ve found her-- that she of all people should do a thing like this?"
37338Is that good enough?
37338Is there any reason for the revolver?
37338It is n''t so much for your sake-- I wo n''t pretend it is-- yet what if there should be a second attempt on the house?
37338It means giving away a patient-- don''t you see?"
37338It would be true-- wouldn''t it-- after this?
37338May I ask her name?"
37338May I ask what that is in your hand?"
37338May I take it that your experience as a consultant is the basis of the views you mention?"
37338Might he ask the nature of the delusions?
37338Only_ temporary_?"
37338Scarth?"
37338Scarth?"
37338Scarth?"
37338So it was Mr. Scarth you meant when you told me the other day that poor Croucher had fallen into such bad hands?"
37338Vinson?"
37338Was it conceivable that the blood- stained life- preserver would be enough for him?
37338Was it just the nature of the man to change his whole manner in a moment, or had the quality of the woman something to do with it?
37338Was it merely her new lease of error that had come between them of late months?
37338Was it not she who had done most of all to brutalize him?
37338Was that"body"brown as well?
37338Was there a concert?
37338Were there any about?"
37338What about that stamped note- paper?"
37338What do you mean?"
37338What had happened?
37338What has happened?"
37338What have you done with this young woman?"
37338Where is Mr. Vinson?
37338Where''s the fire, as I said afore?
37338Where?"
37338Who let you in?"
37338Who would come to consult you about a homicidal tendency, or a trick of tampering with special offertories?"
37338Who?"
37338Whose fault would it be if he killed himself on the ice- run after all?
37338Why force a professional status on the mere dabbler in crime, who might never have dabbled again?
37338Why, wot the''ell you doin''''ere, Shod?"
37338Wot do they say?"
37338Would one man be likely to spread a thing like this against another if there were no bad blood between them?"
37338You did n''t think I done a job like this for the sake o''tikin''''old o''yer''and, didger?
37338You do n''t mind being Captain Dollar again, if that was it, to my wife?"
37338You intend to do nothing at all?"
37338You would expect to see plenty of ink in the''Herr,''would n''t you?
37338You''re his doctor, are n''t you?"
37338You''re not going to have it off, are you?
37338[ Illustration:"Did I say anything?"]
37338[ Illustration:"Surely it is n''t Croucher?"]
35022A peach of an alibi, hey?
35022A pin?
35022Agnes, what did Mrs. Pell say to her niece in response to her chiding?
35022All right, but how did he get out?
35022All right, when did you get that letter?
35022All right, where?
35022Amicable?'' 35022 And did you?"
35022And how did I deposit it?
35022And how did he get out?
35022And if he does n''t succeed?
35022And really, what could be a safer hiding- place? 35022 And she was dead, then?"
35022And then you''ll tell us where the pin is?
35022And then?
35022And there was no other chance for Mrs. Pell to mail a letter to- day?
35022And this poker? 35022 And were you not afraid your aunt would make good her promise?"
35022And what do you say?
35022And what were the words she used when she screamed out?
35022And where were you?
35022And why do you sing it to- day?
35022And yet you''re not sure he''s the murderer?
35022And you demanded these things of her?
35022And you give it up?
35022And you recognized no landmarks?
35022And you stood for such treatment?
35022And you upset the table in your scrap?
35022And you went to the door at once?
35022And you, Miss Clyde, did she so tease you?
35022And, after luncheon, you returned to the city?
35022Any conversation passed between you?'' 35022 Are these in Bannard''s writing?"
35022Are they?
35022Are you going to suggest that she came down here by a concealed staircase, and maltreated her aunt in this ferocious manner? 35022 Are you in love with him?"
35022At what time was this?
35022At what time?
35022Bad? 35022 Bound?"
35022But I do n''t understand, Campbell,Bannard said,"how could she be murdered, alone in her room, with the door locked?
35022But a bank vault would n''t be called a crypt, would it?
35022But buried where?
35022But could n''t the pin have some bearing on that?
35022But how can you follow?
35022But how did this other man know about it?
35022But how did-- what''s his name?--Ashton, know it was lost?
35022But how?
35022But she knew you_ thought_ she meant a diamond pin?
35022But tell me, how did you find out so much about Bannard?
35022But the bruises?
35022But what do they want the pin_ for_?
35022But what else could be its value?
35022But what use_ could_ the pin be as a clue to the jewels?
35022But what_ could_ they want of it?
35022But where was he?
35022But why so desperately anxious to get the very one? 35022 But why,_ why_, Polly, did she set such store by it?"
35022But why?
35022But,objected Iris,"what could he do?"
35022Ca n''t you judge which it is? 35022 Campbell?"
35022Can you show them to me?
35022Cause why? 35022 Clue?
35022Could he have come here that day, without your knowing it?
35022Did Mrs. Pell send any letters to the post- office to- day, does any one know?
35022Did he kill Aunt Ursula?
35022Did he really?
35022Did he''bring''em with him?
35022Did n''t I hear her screamin''? 35022 Did n''t you resent it, Miss Clyde?"
35022Did she never refer to its value?
35022Did that content you?
35022Did the search indicate anything of the sort, Iris?
35022Did they find it?
35022Did they?
35022Did you ever see any radium?
35022Did you make any mention of it?
35022Did you move anything in the room?
35022Did you notice anything else peculiar about her attire?
35022Did you see Bannard?
35022Do any of these people live in a house with high stone steps?
35022Do n''t I? 35022 Do n''t tell me all,"said Iris to Stone, as the two were left alone,"I want to wait till Terence comes-- but tell me this, will it free Winston?"
35022Do n''t you, Iris? 35022 Do you do this as a profession,"she asked,"or are you an amateur?"
35022Do you know any nearby town where there''s an insurance agent named Clement Foster?
35022Do you know any young lady named Flossie?
35022Do you mean that Mr. Bannard wanted to get the jewels away from me? 35022 Do you mean to say you do n''t know?"
35022Do you mean you''d know that pin apart from a lot of other common pins?
35022Do you mind if I go with the strong arm of the law?
35022Do you think so?
35022Do you think so?
35022Do you want to keep it?
35022Do you_ know_ that my aunt had such an enormous fortune as that, in gems?
35022Do? 35022 Do?
35022Does she get the house?
35022Doubtless he knows you are here, does n''t he?
35022Eh?
35022Fooling you?
35022For goodness''sake, Fibsy, what_ have_ you been doing?
35022For himself, or with a firm?
35022Get a doctor, shall I?
35022Got a cigarette?
35022Halves of what?
35022Has anyone a key to it, excepting yourself?
35022Have you any better supposition? 35022 Have you her will?"
35022Have you lost anything?
35022Have you told him the whole truth?
35022He did n''t know then that it was left to him, did he?
35022He did n''t see you?
35022Hello, darkey boy, who are_ you_?
35022Her folks all live there?
35022Her joking habit was most annoying, was it not?
35022Here''s where she was lyin''?
35022Him? 35022 How can it?"
35022How can they tell that they have n''t?
35022How cleverly she hid the thing in her skirt hem, did n''t she? 35022 How did the murderer get out, whoever he was?"
35022How did the murderer get out?
35022How did you ever know about those things?
35022How do you know I got it at all?
35022How do you know?
35022How do you know?
35022How do you know?
35022How do you mean? 35022 How should I know?"
35022How will you get in?
35022How''d Young catch onto all the pin and dime and receipt business, anyway?
35022How----"Do n''t say''how did he get out?'' 35022 How_ did_ you get out?"
35022I ask you again, Mr. Bannard, how did you receive that check? 35022 I can see no light on that question, whatever, can you, Winston?"
35022I do n''t care for your advice, thank you; I ask you what it means that I am forcibly carried off in this way?
35022I do n''t think so, do you, Polly?
35022I do n''t want the fortune unless Winston is freed,said Iris, sadly;"if you think Charlie Young is the criminal, when are you going to get him?
35022I have n''t the least idea----"Have n''t you? 35022 I know you ai n''t, Miss Iris, but you''re so still and queer like----""Who would n''t be?
35022I know you, do n''t I?
35022I mean,_ where_ in New York?
35022I think her parents did----"What are their names? 35022 I''ll subscribe to that, somebody_ ought_ to be able to, but who is the somebody?"
35022I''ve money of my own, and I''ll pay if he does n''t find the jewels, and if he does Iris can reward me, eh, girlie?
35022If there were, do n''t you suppose I''d know it?
35022If you had them would you sell them to me?
35022If you were so sure you saw Mr. Bannard on Sunday morning, why did n''t you so state at the inquest?
35022In Mrs. Pell''s room?
35022Is Mrs. Bowen coming over?
35022Is he apt to be?
35022Is it a special pin?
35022Is n''t Mr. Bowen here?
35022Is that so, Bub? 35022 Is there a crypt in your church?"
35022Is this true?
35022It means we wanted you, see? 35022 It seems to, yes, but does it?
35022Jewels she bought?
35022Just as a surmise, what_ could_ they want of it?
35022Just what do you mean by that?
35022Land, child, how do I know? 35022 Leaving your aunt perfectly well and quite as usual?"
35022Lemme see the room?
35022May I ask how you''re going about it?
35022Meantime, we must assume him to be a spook? 35022 Mighty curious,"said old Purdy, scratching his head;"how in blazes could she scream murder and thieves, when there was n''t no one in here?
35022Mr. Chapin has instructions to hand the box over to Iris after my departure from this life, which I suppose you''d like to expedite, eh, Iris?
35022Mr. Stone, wo n''t you go and interview this Young, and tell him he lies?
35022New?
35022Nixie,returned Iris saucily,"you''ve promised that particular diamond pin to me, have n''t you, Auntie?"
35022No people in it?
35022No, I did n''t, but who could get in? 35022 No; what''s she like?"
35022Not been out of it?
35022Now, I want to go and see Win, and tell him all about it,Iris announced;"may n''t I?"
35022Now, Mr. Chapin, are you going to help me?
35022Now, do you care to hunt for the dime? 35022 Of mementoes of crimes----""Of what?"
35022Oh, Fibs, do_ you_ see it that way too?
35022Oh, I do n''t know----"How you going to get around that letter? 35022 Oh, Polly, they wo n''t have detectives, will they?"
35022Oh, Win, I wish you would n''t talk or think about those things, till after----"After the funeral? 35022 Oh, for years, Aunt Ursula has promised me a marvelous diamond pin, the most valuable of her whole collection-- haven''t you, auntie?"
35022Oh, how?
35022Oh, no, indeed? 35022 Oh, then you are William Ashton?"
35022Oh, then you proposed it?
35022Oh, where are they?
35022Pardon this question-- are you in love with Miss Clyde?
35022Pinny, pin, pin,he would chant, in his sing- song way,"nice pinny, pin, pin, where are you?
35022Please get him out of that awful jail, ca n''t you?
35022Possibly,agreed Hughes,"but, in that case, how did the intruder get out?"
35022Reaching your home at what time?
35022Ropes?
35022Sam? 35022 Sam?"
35022Shall I get New York for you, Miss?
35022Shall I say so? 35022 Shall we say the real murderer lives somewhere near Bob Grady''s place?"
35022She never put it in writing?
35022She screamed?
35022She was then in her usual health and good spirits?
35022She_ will_ have stuffed dates and fancy fixin''s, will she?
35022So? 35022 Someone else?"
35022Sunday afternoon?
35022Take off your mask, wo n''t you?
35022Talk? 35022 Terence?"
35022That boy?
35022That''s so, how did he? 35022 The big, fat Mister Chair?"
35022The receipt is dated ten years ago,said Stone,"of course that does n''t prove----""Where''d she live then?"
35022The thieves?
35022Then she killed herself?
35022Then what did Miss Clyde say?
35022Then who did?
35022Then why wo n''t any other pin do as well?
35022Then you think it an ordinary jewel robbery?
35022Then, who? 35022 There, there,"said Lucille, trying to calm the excited girl,"have you had your dinner?"
35022They know you?
35022To whom are they willed at present?
35022Two?
35022Valuable, how? 35022 Wait a minute,"said Stone,"listen, Sam, what will you take to show me where the pin is?"
35022Want one, Miss Iris? 35022 Was Miss Clyde angry at her aunt?"
35022Was he in Chicago then?
35022Was her money all in the jewels?
35022Was it hidden?
35022Well, anyway,Iris pursued,"the people who saw him at the inn-- at what time?"
35022Well, well, Mr. Bowen, how do you do?
35022Well,Iris went on, angrily,"now they''ve got the two of them there, why ca n''t you confront Winston with Young and let them tell the truth?"
35022What about a pin?
35022What about the jewels, Iris?
35022What are the transactions?
35022What became of yours?
35022What could I do? 35022 What diamond pin?"
35022What did you go for?
35022What do you mean by that?
35022What do you mean by world famous?
35022What does she care for having a new door made, if she can get us all soured up over nothing at all?
35022What does this all mean? 35022 What for?"
35022What for?
35022What for?
35022What is it?
35022What is the Anderson lot?
35022What little car?
35022What one?
35022What sort of engraving?
35022What time did you leave New York?
35022What under the heavens do you want of that pin?
35022What was in it?
35022What was it?
35022What was the house like?
35022What were they talking about?
35022What would you advise me to do?
35022What''s that song I heard you singing a bit ago?
35022What''s your brother''s name?
35022What?
35022What?
35022What_ do_ you mean?
35022When were these old things hidden?
35022When will the services be held?
35022When?
35022When?
35022Where am I? 35022 Where can they be?"
35022Where did you buy it?
35022Where did you ride?
35022Where have you been?
35022Where is Miss Clyde''s bedroom?
35022Where is he?
35022Where is it? 35022 Where is it?"
35022Where is the newspaper in question?
35022Where was Miss Clyde?
35022Where was he?
35022Where were you a week ago Sunday?
35022Where were you?
35022Where will it lead you-- to light?
35022Where''d you learn that, Samivel?
35022Where''s the pin? 35022 Where''s this Mr. Bannard live?"
35022Where?
35022Whereabouts in Maine?
35022Who are you, sir?
35022Who inherits?
35022Who killed her?
35022Who was here in this house?
35022Who will be the loser?
35022Who''d you steal it from?
35022Who''s she? 35022 Who''s the college perfessor?"
35022Who?
35022Why did n''t he try to disguise them?
35022Why did n''t she scream sooner?
35022Why did n''t she? 35022 Why do you say that?"
35022Why should I call help, since you say I''ve nothing to fear?
35022Why should I? 35022 Why should Sam steal the pin?"
35022Why so late,asked Bannard;"what have they been doing all the afternoon?"
35022Why those two things?
35022Why were they in the hall?
35022Why, child, if he was really at Joe Young''s house from noon till four o''clock, how could he have been here at the time Mrs. Pell was killed?
35022Why, where is it?
35022Why, you poor child,said the newcomer, in most heartfelt sympathy;"Are you Iris?"
35022Why? 35022 Why?
35022Will he talk?
35022Will it ever be solved?
35022Will you give me your word there are no more pins on you?
35022Will you go away if I give it to you?
35022Will you lock the door?
35022Will you tell it all to me?
35022William Ashton? 35022 Winston?
35022With brick uprights?
35022With what intent?
35022Would_ you_?
35022Yes, but we ca n''t do much till after the funeral, and----"And what?
35022Yes, thank you,replied Miss Darrel, after a quick, comprehensive glance round the room,"and, wait a moment, Iris-- mayn''t I call you Iris?"
35022Yet what other possibility can be suggested?
35022You a detective?
35022You ca n''t, eh? 35022 You cut out her pocket?"
35022You do n''t advise me to accept his offer, do you?
35022You got any right here? 35022 You had a New York paper?"
35022You had your newspaper with you?
35022You have n''t been up here to- day, have you, Mr. Bannard? 35022 You have, eh?"
35022You have?
35022You heard this discussion, Miss Clyde?
35022You know there was a_ Herald_ found in the room after the murder?
35022You know why?
35022You lunched at the Inn at noon?
35022You mean, sir, you would tell an untruth?
35022You reached the house, then, after Miss Clyde had gone?
35022You see what clever rascals we have to deal with?
35022You sent for me, Mr. Stone? 35022 You think it looks that way?"
35022You think it''s just an ordinary pin, then?
35022You took ropes along to tie her with?
35022You''re going straight ahead with your investigations, then?
35022You''re not_ sure_ you saw Miss Clyde in that car?
35022You''ve no notion what road you traveled?
35022You''ve put that Young out of the question, now, Lord knows I do n''t suspect Win Bannard, but who did do it?
35022A collector of what?"
35022A reporter?"
35022Ah, if I tell you, you will know, wo n''t you?"
35022Also, Miss Darrel, will you extend your hospitality to my young assistant?"
35022Am I being quizzed?"
35022And I think we''d oughter call up Mr. Bowen, what say, Miss Iris?"
35022And have both his share and my own?
35022And how could anyone be in here with her, and get out, leavin''that''ere door locked behind him?"
35022And is he in there yet?"
35022And there were several people in this room, when the two men burst in the door?"
35022And what did she say?"
35022And what is she going to leave me, to match up to that?"
35022And where did she get it?"
35022And where is it?"
35022And who could know of these secret and hidden instructions?"
35022And why did you kill your aunt afterward?
35022And would I guard it?
35022Any clear direction in which to look?"
35022Any other theory?
35022Are n''t they in a safe deposit, or something of that sort?"
35022Are you going to hand it over?"
35022As you know, Aunt Ursula and I were n''t good friends----""Who could be friends with Aunt Ursula?
35022Bannard?"
35022Bannard?"
35022Bannard?"
35022Bannard?"
35022Because you tell fibs?"
35022Because-- how''d they get out?"
35022Bowen-- why?"
35022Bowen?"
35022But Fibsy began to think the clouded intellect was merely repeating words spoken to it, and he asked,"Who put pin in chair for Sam to steal?"
35022But how did Mr. Bannard get out of the locked room?"
35022But how did you know where we were?"
35022But how do you know?"
35022But it''s most inexplicable, is n''t it?
35022But never mind all that now, tell me what you think of Miss Iris''absence?
35022But the door was locked----""Was that usual?"
35022But there''s not the slightest possibility of it, is there?"
35022But we wo n''t tell anybody, will us?"
35022But what_ can_ he want of it?"
35022But whether it was the one meant in the will, who knew?
35022But who was the man?"
35022But you call me Flossie, wo n''t you?"
35022But, as the first letter of the cipher is O, why ca n''t you find O in your alphabet and go ahead?"
35022But, do n''t you see?
35022But, granting that alibi, who is left to suspect but Winston Bannard?"
35022CHAPTER XVII THE CIPHER"And how would the dime help, if we had it?"
35022Ca n''t we find them?
35022Ca n''t you see yourself it''s Bannard''s writing disguised?
35022Chapin?"
35022Come; now, where is it?"
35022Could it be made of radium, or something like that?"
35022Could n''t that crypt be in this house, not in any church?"
35022Could she, now?"
35022Crypt?
35022Did Mrs. Pell wear lace frills at her wrists and throat at dinner that Sunday you were here?
35022Did it lie here, where it is now?
35022Did n''t she beat the dickens?"
35022Did n''t that old smarty- cat you''ve got on the job tell you what the pin means?"
35022Did n''t you say she said that?"
35022Did n''t you tell me to find the pin?
35022Did she do anything or say anything that seemed out of the ordinary?"
35022Did she-- didn''t she-- kill herself?"
35022Did they begin with L or M?"
35022Did they get the pin?"
35022Did you see her?"
35022Did you take a pin out of the under side of Agnes''pincushion?"
35022Did you write the letter signed William Ashton?"
35022Did your aunt tell you she was going to leave you a real diamond?"
35022Do n''t that look like it was a Luck?"
35022Do you believe Bannard wrote this letter to his cousin?"
35022Do you mean to say you''re going to hunt for a needle in a haystack-- I mean a pin in a coal- hole?"
35022Do you think Bannard wrote the note?"
35022Do you think he kidnapped Miss Clyde last Sunday?"
35022Do you think that Florentine pocket- book, that was found emptied, as if by the robber, is the one that your aunt left you in her will?"
35022Do you want me to break it in?
35022Do?
35022Does that mean you''re going to give me the pin?"
35022Eh?"
35022Else why''d the old lady say that Mr. Bannard would find that receipt of interest to him?
35022Even if Winston did commit the crime, how did he get out of the room?"
35022For the detective said,"Where is the pin now, Sam?"
35022From your story of the crime, I gather that the room was absolutely unenterable, except by breaking in the door, which Purdy and the chauffeur did?"
35022Had she seen the pin?
35022Have you got it?
35022He sent the little car for you----""How did he know I''d be out there and with the pin in my possession?"
35022Her assailant had to get out or stay in, did n''t he?
35022Hey, Sam, want some chewin''gum?"
35022How about the windows?"
35022How can you ever catch such an ingenious villain?
35022How can you find that?"
35022How can you say there''s anything peculiar about it?"
35022How could there be thieves in there, an''the door locked?"
35022How did it come into your possession?"
35022How did the murderer get out?"
35022How did you come?"
35022How do you explain the fact that Mrs. Pell made out to you a check dated last Sunday?"
35022How long was it,"he said abruptly, turning to Iris,"that your aunt was in that room alone?
35022How much do I owe you?"
35022How shall I know him?"
35022How''d you get in this room?"
35022How''d you guess?"
35022How''s that?"
35022How?"
35022How?"
35022How_ could_ anybody get in here with the door locked?
35022However, since the room has not been swept, may I look around a bit in it?"
35022Hughes?"
35022I believe Win Bannard is after that pin, so''s he can find them jewels----""Oh, then you think the pin is a guide to the jewels?"
35022I ca n''t help thinking whoever committed that murder was hidden in the room for some time beforehand----""And how did he get away?"
35022I ca n''t tell until I see it----""But man, why_ see_ it?
35022I mean alone, so far as you knew?"
35022I never knew her, did you?"
35022I think, do n''t you, that we ought to be her principal heirs?
35022I understand your father was an expert carpenter and joiner?"
35022I''ll answer, as I always do, how did any other murderer get out of the room?"
35022I''m going to Chicago----""Whatever for?"
35022I''m inclined to think it is not, because Pollock-- or Young rather-- made no effort to gain possession of the dime, did he?"
35022I''ve just got on the track of a man who is a-- a burglar----""Ma''am?"
35022If he had been a murderer, would he have left the half- smoked cigarette, so easily traced to him?
35022Indeed, as outsiders often exclaimed, why mind a harmless joke now and then?
35022Iris nodded acquiescence, and he stipulated,"The real one?"
35022Is he around here much?"
35022Is he up to anything wrong?"
35022Is he-- is he exclusive?"
35022Is it not conceivable that they were in that wall- safe, and have been stolen by the murderer?"
35022Is n''t a crypt a burial place in a church?"
35022Is n''t it a queer thing to put all of one''s fortune in jewels?"
35022Is that it?"
35022Is that pin, that foolish, common little pin of any value?"
35022Is that so?"
35022Is this Miss Clyde?"
35022It must have been left here by somebody-- I suppose----""And this half- burnt cigarette, of the same brand as those you have in your pocket case?"
35022It never seemed like he was after just money, or he''d''a''come at night, do n''t you think so?"
35022Look, here''s four nice dollar bills; now where''s the pin?"
35022More plausible was the theory of Bannard''s guilt, but, again, how did he get away?
35022Moreover, how could any outsider come to the house, get in, and get into that room, without any member of the household seeing his approach?
35022Mr. Bannard, you''ve no objection, of course, to replying?"
35022Mr. Bowen, will you take the stand?"
35022Mr. Stone, I''ll go and get that dime now, shall I?"
35022Mr. Stone, you do n''t think Win guilty, do you?"
35022Nice pinny- pin, where are you?"
35022Now what''s the sense o''that, if you''re only a foolin''?
35022Now where was that cigarette stub found, and how far was it burned?"
35022Now, Miss Clyde-- or, may I call you Iris?"
35022Now, Mr. Bannard, what about this?
35022Now, have you everything you want to make you comfortable in here?"
35022Now, how did they get away?
35022Now, if we can find a later witness----""But who did commit the murder?"
35022Now, what about that dime?"
35022Now, what else?"
35022Now, what floor was it?
35022Now, where did you say you found that pin?"
35022Now, where''s the key word to be looked for?"
35022Now, who will make a trip to Maine?"
35022Now?"
35022Of course,''How''d the murderer get out?''
35022Oh, Lucille, do you mean it?
35022Oh, oh, oh--_where_ is it?"
35022Oh, that cousin of Aunt Ursula''s?"
35022Oh, what should I have done if you had n''t arrived just as you did?
35022Or do you want the truth?"
35022Or does n''t your common sense tell you that it would be better for you to make friends with me than not?"
35022Or, if he was in, how could he get out?"
35022Pell?"
35022Pell?"
35022Perhaps it was Agnes''expression, for the maid said,"Were you looking for the pin Mrs. Pell left you?"
35022Quit talking, ca n''t you?"
35022Rodney Pollock?"
35022Saw man here-- there-- near edge of woods-- nice little car, oh, awful nice little car----""Yes, go on, what did he do?"
35022Say, Mr. Chapin, has it ever struck you that Win Bannard might be in cahoots with these pin people?"
35022See?"
35022See?"
35022Shall I confront Bannard with this?"
35022Shall I go over to the jail with you?"
35022Shall you arrest him at once?"
35022She did n''t go to church?"
35022She even smiled at Iris''furious expression, and said,"Now, now, what''s the use?
35022So, now, miss, will you make terms?
35022Stone?"
35022Stone?"
35022Stone?"
35022Stone?"
35022That pin again?
35022The idea of its being a weight or a measure is silly, too; and how else could it be indicative?
35022The murderer?"
35022The pin, I tossed on the floor, I think----""Has the room been swept since?"
35022The pins that girl took from Iris to- day are just the same as this one, are n''t they?"
35022The place has n''t been much disturbed, has it?"
35022Then Campbell, he come, and helped to break down the door----""And you''re sure the murderer could n''t have slipped through as you opened the door?"
35022Then what became of him?"
35022Then where is she?"
35022There was nobody there but Aunt Ursula, herself----""Dead?"
35022This room?"
35022Those gems were hidden somewhere-- and without Winston to help her how was she to look for them?
35022Want to see some?"
35022Wanta help?"
35022Was Mrs. Pell in her usual good spirits yesterday?
35022Was n''t she hit with it?"
35022Well, Agnes, have you really got the pin that Aunt Ursula left to me?"
35022Well, are you going to give it to me?
35022Well, when can I go back home?"
35022Well?"
35022Well?"
35022Were n''t we told that there were marks on her wrists and ankles where she''d been bound with ropes?"
35022What became of those ropes?"
35022What can it be that makes it a key to the jewels''hiding- place?"
35022What can it be?
35022What do you make of it?"
35022What do you mean?"
35022What do you want to know?"
35022What do_ you_ know of it?"
35022What happened to Aunt Ursula-- do_ you_ think?"
35022What has happened?"
35022What kind o''villain could''a''done that?
35022What shall I do?"
35022What time was this, Downing?"
35022What were you searching this room for?
35022What''s its value?"
35022What''s the answer?"
35022When they find they have n''t the right pin----""How can they possibly know?"
35022Where am I being taken?
35022Where am I going?"
35022Where are they anyway?"
35022Where are you?
35022Where could it have gone?"
35022Where did that''Herald''come from?"
35022Where did you get it?"
35022Where did you put the nice pin?"
35022Where did you throw them?"
35022Where is Purdy?"
35022Where is it?
35022Where is that check, Mr. Winston Bannard, and when did you get it?
35022Where is that?"
35022Where shall I lodge?
35022Where was any crypt?
35022Where''s the pin?
35022Where, now?"
35022Who are you?"
35022Who could have done it?
35022Who did it?
35022Who else had motive, opportunity, and-- well, you know his finances are in a bad way?"
35022Who was the man, Sam?"
35022Who was this insignificant boy that he should be consulted, and referred to?
35022Who would dream of digging between two old graves unless instructed to do so?
35022Who''s he, in America?"
35022Why did n''t you put it on the gate post to- night?"
35022Why did n''t you say you saw him in the afternoon?
35022Why did they want it?
35022Why did you do that?"
35022Why did you take it from Agnes?
35022Why do you have this table light on this long cord?"
35022Why should I wait for that, any way?
35022Why should he steal a paper that was meant for him anyway?"
35022Why was an experienced detective, like himself, set aside, as of no consequence, while Fleming Stone watched absorbedly the face of the urchin?
35022Why would I do that?"
35022Why, Miss Iris, did n''t your aunt, time and again, say she was goin''to leave you a valuable pin?
35022Why, if he had, why would he confer with that bad man?
35022Why,_ why_ do you want it?
35022Why-- what_ is_ there about that pin?
35022Why?
35022Why?"
35022Why?"
35022Why?"
35022Why?"
35022Why?"
35022Will you change your mind and tell me where it is?"
35022Will you hunt the dime, Fibs?"
35022Will you please take off your shirtwaist, or shall I?"
35022Wo n''t you take away that detective man?
35022Wo n''t you?"
35022Wonder who opened it?
35022Would he have gone off with a check, drawn that very day, in his pocket?"
35022Would she run off anywhere just before dinner on Sunday, without telling anyone?"
35022You blame Bannard for all the details of this thing?
35022You did n''t see Iris in it?"
35022You do n''t want me to take all the pins you have in your clothing, do you?"
35022You knew that, did n''t you?"
35022You know that pin, Iris?"
35022You left your aunt''s presence directly after your guests had departed?"
35022You remember Joe Young, over at East Fallville?"
35022You state that you were not up here, in this room, this afternoon, about three o''clock?"
35022You sure she''s in there?"
35022You were in the dining room, Polly?"
35022asked Iris, responding to the summons,"what was that noise I heard?"
35022asked Lucille, distractedly,"you do n''t know which way they went, after the turn, do you?"
35022asked Mr. Bowen, curiously;"may I not see it?"
35022cried Campbell,"what do you mean by thieves?
35022cried Iris,"why, what else can I think of?
35022he exclaimed,"you''ve been in Berrien less than two days, and you''ve got that, have you?"
35022he said, looking bored,"Do n''t you s''pose we''ve investigated that chimney business?
35022not Agnes----""Who, then?"
35022pursued Mr. Chapin,"and the awful wound on her face?"
35022she demanded;"why did n''t you come sooner?
35022shouted Bannard,"do you know what you''re saying?"
35022wondered Hughes,"what do they want of the pin?"
35146A lovely evening, is n''t it?
35146A row on the water?
35146About Vand murdering Huxham? 35146 About her interview?
35146After what?
35146Ah, so you recognised the bag when you tried to steal it from Mrs. Vand in your mother''s cottage?
35146All what?
35146Am I so like my father, then?
35146Am I then in the habit of murdering people?
35146And Mr. Pence''s statement?
35146And did my master get what he wanted?
35146And haunted,said the visitor in a thrilling whisper;"do you know of any sad legend connected with the Manor- house, Miss Ankers?"
35146And help her to escape?
35146And her son Luke?
35146And so invented the story of the epileptic fit?
35146And that was why the room was so upset?
35146And the money, master?
35146And what became of Edwin Lister?
35146And what do you think, aunt?
35146And what is left to me?
35146And why? 35146 And you accuse me of murdering your father?"
35146And you heard nothing?
35146And you will explain?
35146And your daughter, sir?
35146And your double?
35146Are you not hard yourself?
35146Are you not pleased to see me, Cyril?
35146Are you out of your senses?
35146Are you sure that it was a fit?
35146Are you sure,he added to Ward,"that the wound was made with this knife?"
35146Are you sure? 35146 Are you talking of the Vands?"
35146At what time?
35146Aunt, what do you think of Cyril?
35146Because I have fallen in love? 35146 Because I have not been to see you before?"
35146Bella, darling, do n''t you know me?
35146Bella, you have n''t many boxes?
35146Bella,Mrs. Coppersley screamed, and made for the door,"what do you mean?"
35146But Cyril,said Bella, as they drew near the cottage,"does it seem right for us to keep jewels that already have caused two murders?
35146But do you really think anyone can separate the spirit from the body?
35146But how can a blow do that?
35146But how did I come to pass as Captain Huxham''s daughter?
35146But if Mrs. Vand catches her?
35146But if my father is alive and has the jewels?
35146But on what evidence?
35146But surely you did not murder your own brother?
35146But surely you do not connect a harmless man, like Pence, with the crime?
35146But the British Government?
35146But what about Pence''s confession?
35146But what about your double?
35146But what had he to do with all this murder business?
35146But what has become of my father?
35146But what is it? 35146 But what will you do now?"
35146But what will you do?
35146But where are you going?
35146But who murdered my father?
35146But why should Mr. Lister kill my father?
35146But why?
35146But will she have the papers?
35146But with your occult powers, ca n''t you learn if my father is dead or alive?
35146But your expedition?
35146Ca n''t I come also to see her?
35146Ca n''t you get her out?
35146Ca n''t you get her out?
35146Ca n''t you tell?
35146Can you ask?
35146Can you prove his guilt?
35146Can you prove his innocence?
35146Can you prove this?
35146Can you swear to the truth of this wild statement? 35146 Can you tell me that she is not an accomplice after the fact?"
35146Could you have been happy in America knowing your husband to be a murderer?
35146Cyril Lister, you put an advertisement into several London papers a week ago?
35146Cyril, do you remember that the grey clothes worn by your father on that night aided me to make a mistake?
35146Cyril, has this matter anything to do with you?
35146Cyril, how can you when I love you so?
35146Cyril, why do you speak in that tone of your father?
35146Cyril, will you leave me? 35146 Cyril, you have been arranging this for some time?"
35146Dear, what does your aunt mean by treating you in this way?
35146Dearest and best,he kissed her ardently,"what have I done to deserve such perfect love?
35146Did Mr. Pence come to see my father?
35146Did he ever tell you that?
35146Did my master and Captain Huxham quarrel?
35146Did my master see Captain Huxham?
35146Did n''t you hear? 35146 Did not the black man tell you?"
35146Did you ever meet Mr. Lister before?
35146Did you ever see this man before?
35146Did you know that the tea was drugged?
35146Did you listen?
35146Did you not see your brother?
35146Did you notice if it was locked in the morning?
35146Did you see all you spoke of, or did you make up some?
35146Did you see anyone about?
35146Did you tell Inglis about the jewels?
35146Did you tell the truth in your trance last night?
35146Did you?
35146Did your father intend murder?
35146Did_ you_ see anyone?
35146Do I ever do anything else?
35146Do n''t you believe that I killed Jabez?
35146Do n''t you believe that your father has been murdered?
35146Do you accuse me of murdering father?
35146Do you believe in such rubbish?
35146Do you believe that?
35146Do you hear what this woman says?
35146Do you hear?
35146Do you know the Lister family then?
35146Do you know what you are, Aunt Rosamund?
35146Do you know, Durgo, that you are something of a puzzle to me?
35146Do you mean to say that Mr. Lister----"Mr. Lister? 35146 Do you mean to say that my father has left everything to you?"
35146Do you mean to say that the deceased planted the corn as a protection against some one coming on him unawares?
35146Do you mean to say that you would marry a man about whom you know nothing?
35146Do you not think that I would give the world to believe him innocent? 35146 Do you remember in Macbeth, Cyril Lister, of the night of Duncan''s murder?"
35146Do you suspect him?
35146Do you think Durgo himself is guilty?
35146Do you think I can do so?
35146Do you think she is dead there?
35146Do you think your father has the jewels, Cyril?
35146Does she?
35146Does this belong to your late brother?
35146Drugged, miss?
35146Durgo,Bella spoke in an alarmed tone,"you wo n''t hurt them?"
35146Either of the blokes? 35146 Father"--Bella stopped directly before the front door of the manor- house--"why do you hate Cyril?
35146For what reason?
35146Give you money to bring lawsuits against me?
35146Had you any reason to believe that deceased expected to be murdered?
35146Had you any such intention?
35146Had you not better return to the concert, Mr. Pence? 35146 Have I not pleased you, master?"
35146Have you any more questions to ask me?
35146Have you come to persecute me again?
35146Have you got those papers?
35146Have you not seen him since?
35146Have you the money?
35146He is raving?
35146He never came out?
35146Here, you,said Lister sharply,"what have you been saying to Miss Huxham?
35146How are we going to gain possession of them?
35146How are we to get across, Cyril?
35146How can I do that?
35146How can I love a woman who doubts me? 35146 How can I tell you when I do not even know his name?"
35146How can I?
35146How can my father hate a man he has never even seen?
35146How can you say that, when you lately intimated that Mr. Lister-- if it_ was_ Mr. Lister, which I doubt-- had come to see me?
35146How dare you linger here?
35146How dare you say that?
35146How dare you, Bella?
35146How did she lose them?
35146How did they pass out of Huxham''s possession?
35146How did you catch him?
35146How did you intend to escape?
35146How did you learn about the jewels and Maxwell Faith?
35146How did you manage all that?
35146How do you know that I have anything to do with the black man?
35146How do you know that she is dead and gone?
35146How do you know that such a chest exists or is in the Manor- house?
35146How do you know?
35146How do you know?
35146How do you know?
35146How much did Luke tell you?
35146How should I know?
35146How so?
35146How the devil can we get across here?
35146How was the man dressed?
35146How will Mrs. Tunks know the chest?
35146I am somewhat surprised, Mr. Pence,she replied demurely,"are you not making a mistake?"
35146I drug your tea? 35146 I have run all the way, and-- who are these?"
35146I know of no jewels,said Vand steadily;"do you, Rosamund?"
35146I love you very dearly, as you know; but----"How can I tell that you love me dearly?
35146I see what?
35146I see, and where will you be?
35146I wonder why my aunt hates me so?
35146If I do what will happen, governor?
35146If he did not, who did?
35146If so where did Captain, Huxham hide the body?
35146If so, would she not have accused me to my face when I turned her out of the house?
35146If that is so, he will write to me,commented the negro; he paused, and then asked abruptly,"If you learn that your father is guilty?"
35146If the man is alive, why does n''t he turn up?
35146If what?
35146If you''re not my master, Edwin Lister,he added, addressing himself to the young man,"who are you, sir?"
35146Ill?
35146In heaven''s name, why?
35146In what way, captain?
35146In what way, pray?
35146In what way?
35146In what way?
35146In what way?
35146In what?
35146Is Durgo dead?
35146Is Dutton on guard?
35146Is it anyone I know?
35146Is it really haunted?
35146Is that the only reason that you have asked Granny here?
35146Is that why Mrs. Tunks addressed you as master?
35146Is that why Mrs. Tunks calls you master?
35146Is that you, Inspector Inglis?
35146Is this young gentleman called Lister?
35146It is a small sum, but----"One hundred pounds in gold, perhaps?
35146It is the truth,she insisted quietly;"why shirk obvious facts?
35146Jabez-- is he Jabez?
35146Know what? 35146 Knows what?"
35146Like spiritualists?
35146Loot what?
35146Luke--Durgo nodded towards the inner room in his turn--"Luke knows that Vand murdered Huxham?"
35146Make her will-- in whose favour?
35146May I ask why you made use of the secret passages?
35146Mean? 35146 Missy"--Durgo turned to the girl--"can you work that search- light?"
35146Mr. Lister your master?
35146Murder you also?
35146My dear, am I sure that the hair grows on my head? 35146 My dearest, what is the matter?"
35146My innocence of what, in heaven''s name?
35146My-- father-- said-- that?
35146No, I never believed, and yet----"And yet what?
35146No,she replied, with unnecessary loudness;"how could I see anyone when I was drugged?"
35146Not all,said the Coroner,"was the front door locked?"
35146Now it is my turn to ask you what you mean?
35146Now then, my man, will you confess all that you saw?
35146Of what?
35146Of whom are you talking?
35146Oh--Durgo glanced from one to the other--"so Miss Huxham has told you?"
35146Oh, Cyril,said the girl, awestruck,"did Mrs. Vand steal them?"
35146Oh, I''m a liar, am I?
35146Oh, so you desire to marry Henry Vand?
35146Oh, what can we do?
35146Oh, will y''?
35146Oh, y''do, do y''?
35146Oh,sneered his wife,"you admit then that it is rubbish?"
35146On what charge do you arrest me?
35146Other people?
35146Perhaps Captain Huxham knows where my master is?
35146Respectable, eh?
35146Save us, Mr. Pence, what''s wrong?
35146Saw me what?
35146Saw me-- enter this house? 35146 See what?"
35146She must have read the first set of papers?
35146Sleep? 35146 So you knew before Vand took you to the Manor- house for this trance, that he had murdered Huxham?"
35146So you say; but where is the body?
35146Supposed to be?
35146Supposing you find Mr. Lister, and learn that he has not the jewels?
35146Tell me what he said?
35146Tell us shortly what you have discovered, Durgo?
35146Tell what?
35146That half- baked psalm- singer? 35146 That negro?
35146That''s my own dear boy,said the girl, kissing him,"and now what about the inquest?"
35146The dead?
35146The man was of my height?
35146The man you mistook for Mr. Lister was his father,she said quietly;"did you not see him in the room?"
35146The matter of the murder?
35146The son of a king?
35146Then it_ was_ you?
35146Then my father knew about this chest also?
35146Then the jewels really belong to you, Bella?
35146Then this Lister man is the murderer of Huxham?
35146Then you accuse me of murder?
35146Then you are going to marry that wastrel?
35146Then you have been afraid?
35146Then you know?
35146Then you really and truly love me?
35146Then you still intend to we d that son of Belial, overflowing with insolence and wine?
35146Then you were in the room on that night?
35146They have left the house,muttered Cyril, thrusting his pipe into his pocket;"what''s to be done now?"
35146They wo n''t put the whole story in the papers, Cyril?
35146Tunks, were you about the house last night?
35146Unpleasant? 35146 Until when, Cyril?"
35146Was he so like me, then?
35146Was his wife with him?
35146Was not this Mr. Lister your father?
35146Was there another man with Huxham before Vand came?
35146Was there blood on the knife?
35146Was your brother ever in Africa on the West Coast?
35146We discussed all this before,she said coldly,"did you invite me here to ask me to defend myself again?"
35146Well, and what do you make of the business?
35146Well, then, if my master, your father, is alive and has the jewels, why does he not write to me or to you? 35146 Well?"
35146What about me?
35146What am I to do?
35146What are the initials?
35146What are they doing?
35146What are you about to do, Cyril?
35146What are you talking about, lovey? 35146 What became of Mr. Pence meanwhile?"
35146What belief?
35146What can have become of him?
35146What can we do?
35146What can we do?
35146What did I say?
35146What did he do?
35146What did you do, Tunks? 35146 What did you do?"
35146What did you see?
35146What do I care, deary?
35146What do I care?
35146What do you know of this murder?
35146What do you make out of that?
35146What do you mean exactly?
35146What do you mean?
35146What do you mean?
35146What do you mean?
35146What do you mean?
35146What do you mean?
35146What do you mean?
35146What do you mean?
35146What do you say, Pence?
35146What do you say?
35146What do you think has become of him?
35146What do you think of it all, Cyril?
35146What do you want us to do?
35146What does he say, Cyril?
35146What does he say?
35146What does it all mean, dear?
35146What does it all mean?
35146What does this mean?
35146What does this mean?
35146What for?
35146What has that got to do with it?
35146What have you to say about this matter, Miss Huxham?
35146What is all gone?
35146What is it, missy?
35146What is it? 35146 What is it?"
35146What is it?
35146What is it?
35146What is that?
35146What is the matter with your name?
35146What is the matter?
35146What is the matter?
35146What is the use of saying that? 35146 What is the use of this old fool?"
35146What is to be done, master?
35146What money?
35146What more, in God''s name?
35146What more?
35146What of that? 35146 What papers?"
35146What signal?
35146What the devil are you talking about?
35146What the devil did you do that for?
35146What time did you fall under the influence of the opiate, Miss Huxham?
35146What time was that?
35146What took place between my father and you? 35146 What took place exactly?"
35146What will Mr. Lister say to your throwing away kisses on me?
35146What will you do?
35146What''s that? 35146 What''s the matter with Tunks?"
35146What''s to be done now, inspector?
35146What-- what do you know of my name?
35146What?
35146What?
35146What?
35146When are they going?
35146When did you go?
35146When did you see your master last?
35146When did you tell the police to come? 35146 When will you explain?"
35146When? 35146 Where are they?
35146Where are they?
35146Where did you get those papers?
35146Where did you go?
35146Where did you learn those terms?
35146Where has he been all this time?
35146Where have you come from, deary?
35146Where have you come from, miss?
35146Where is Luke Tunks?
35146Where is he now?
35146Where is my master?
35146Where is my master?
35146Where to, Aunt Rosamund?
35146Where to?
35146Where was the body of my father?
35146Where were you last night?
35146Who broke it?
35146Who can have set it on fire?
35146Who is this other man?
35146Who is this?
35146Who is waiting?
35146Who is watching your grandson?
35146Who says that it is?
35146Who should know but I, who am of the gentle Romany? 35146 Who told you all this?"
35146Who was the man then?
35146Who will prevent me?
35146Whose are these?
35146Why are you not weeping in your chamber?
35146Why did he hate him?
35146Why did n''t Dora tell me?
35146Why did n''t you come for me before?
35146Why did n''t you let me question her?
35146Why did n''t you warn the police?
35146Why did you change the conclusion of your sentence?
35146Why did you do that?
35146Why did you fly?
35146Why did you tell such a lie?
35146Why did your father drug you?
35146Why did your father require one thousand pounds?
35146Why do you call it a lie? 35146 Why do you call me Miss Faith?"
35146Why do you dislike me, Miss Huxham?
35146Why do you hate me so?
35146Why do you say that?
35146Why do you talk in this silly way? 35146 Why do you talk to me of the crystal, Mrs. Tunks?
35146Why have you left your grandson?
35146Why have you stripped to the buff?
35146Why is it impossible?
35146Why not? 35146 Why not?"
35146Why not?
35146Why secretly?
35146Why should I drug your tea, Bella? 35146 Why should I find myself in an unpleasant position?"
35146Why should I murder my own dear brother?
35146Why should I not?
35146Why should Pence tell a lie about his fall?
35146Why should he?
35146Why should it be far distant?
35146Why, when he hates me so?
35146Why, you do n''t mean to say that she loves Pence?
35146Why? 35146 Why?
35146Why?
35146Why?
35146Why?
35146Will I be arrested?
35146Will the truth ever be known?
35146Will you be ready to come with me to London to- morrow?
35146Will you hold your tongue? 35146 Will you not be seated?"
35146Will you speak?
35146Will you tell him about your father?
35146Wo n''t you come in, lovey?
35146Would you have done so, seeing that you did not believe that the papers existed?
35146Would you have done so?
35146Would you love me if you knew of my troubles?
35146Would you mind explaining?
35146Yes; who are you?
35146Yet, after all,she said reluctantly,"how did Granny come to know about the jewels?"
35146You accuse me of murdering your father?
35146You are not serious?
35146You ask me to take such a message, sister?
35146You asked him to?
35146You asked me to be quiet, so that you could think,he remarked lazily;"may I ask what you have been considering?"
35146You ca n''t say if this knife belonged to him?
35146You do not know?
35146You have forgiven me, have you not?
35146You have some idea?
35146You heard that Mr. and Mrs. Vand intend to fly to- night?
35146You know my father''s name also?
35146You made capital out of this?
35146You saw the face?
35146You say that I am guilty?
35146You understand that?
35146You will make no terms?
35146You''ll be glad of that, Bella?
35146You''ll cure him, master, wo n''t you?
35146You-- you-- you went to the funeral?
35146You?
35146Your brother''s daughter will inherit this----"Oh, will she?
35146Your house?
35146Your senses were quite clear?
35146Accept me as your husband, or----""Or what?"
35146All I ask is, if you know where your respected client is?"
35146Am I likely to stab an old man, and then rob him?"
35146And I shall, unless----""Unless what?"
35146And if my father killed your father, how can we marry?"
35146And this man-- Bella asked herself the question earnestly-- was this man Edwin Lister?
35146Anything more I can tell you, master?"
35146Bella had regretted her employment of his services, but what else could she do when so much was at stake?
35146Bella"--he turned suddenly--"if it is proved that my father is alive, will you still marry me?
35146Bella''s voice leaped an octave;"you-- you-- murder Cyril?"
35146Bella, you have not touched anything, have you?"
35146Besides, in any case, she would have to confess to Cyril, so why not now?
35146But I saw his poor, pale, peaked face, and----""Does he look ill?"
35146But are you connected in any way with the matter?"
35146But for what purpose?"
35146But he had n''t guessed I was absent, and so----""Did you see a light under the study door when passing through the hall?"
35146But how could she prove his innocence?
35146But how did my father learn the whereabouts of Captain Huxham?"
35146But if anyone else had seen him?
35146But if such is the case, and your marriage is an impossibility, why not come with us on our expedition to the Hinterland of Nigeria?
35146But it was strange that he should tell Pence-- why, what is the matter?"
35146But jewels?
35146But now that you understand the position, will you work with me?"
35146But what do you mean by my using the light as a pointer?"
35146But what is to be done?"
35146But when would that explanation be made?
35146But where is my master, Edwin Lister?"
35146But whose daughter am I?"
35146But"--Cyril shrugged his shoulders--"who can tell the truth?"
35146By the way"--Bella looked sharply at the preacher--"are we friends?"
35146By the way, Cyril, what about Durgo''s things?"
35146By the way, where did your father get them?"
35146By you?"
35146Ca n''t you see?"
35146Can you refuse me?
35146Could Lister be the culprit, after all?
35146Cyril, now thoroughly roused, advanced and seized her wrists in no gentle grasp,"are you crazy, talking in this way?"
35146Did I, or did I not?"
35146Did Lister''s father kill Captain Huxham?"
35146Did Mrs. Vand call to tell you this?"
35146Did he speak truly when he stated that Miss Huxham was not the captain''s daughter?"
35146Did she see the papers?"
35146Do n''t you hear me?
35146Do n''t you understand, Bella?
35146Do you agree?"
35146Do you hear?"
35146Do you know why he did so, Aunt Rosamund?"
35146Do you think she would have done so unless I had controlled her?
35146Does he think that I am a child, to submit to his tyranny?"
35146Durgo spoke softly in her ear:"Are you free?"
35146Durgo, you loved my father?"
35146Had Jabez really jewels?"
35146Has your grandson gone?"
35146Have you any brandy?"
35146Have you any right to take them?"
35146Have you had any answer?"
35146He consented, but only when he heard that you loved this man who----""You told him that?"
35146He interrupted my meeting with my future husband----""Who is he, if I may ask?"
35146How can you lie to me?"
35146How comes an African sacrificial knife here?"
35146How could it when the clouds which environed her were so densely black?
35146How could such a son as Cyril Lister respect or love such a parent as Edwin of the same name?
35146How dare you spend my money on silver frames?"
35146How did the assassin escape?
35146How did you find out?"
35146How do you know?"
35146How do you know?"
35146Hullo, what''s this?"
35146I called him master as a title of honour because I loved him, so why should I not say Edwin Lister?"
35146I knew that on my account you had quarrelled with my father, so what could I think but that you had killed him?
35146I wonder where they are going?
35146If nothing serious had taken place between Cyril and her father on the night in question, why had Lister gone away?
35146Is it not beautiful, Miss Huxham?"
35146Is she still at the hut?"
35146It was then that she asked a leading question:"Do you think that what Mr. Pence says is true?"
35146Lister?"
35146Marry me, and let us fly to far lands, and----""I thought you were desperately poor,"said Bella, suspiciously;"where did you get the money?"
35146Meanwhile, what will you do?"
35146Mr. Lister"--he brought his mouth very close to the young man''s ear and spoke in a whisper--"is what that nigger told me quite true?"
35146My father, I understand, came down here to ask Captain Huxham for certain jewels--""Those you showed me, sir?"
35146Oh, dear Cyril, what should I do if I lost you?"
35146Oh, who can have killed him?"
35146Oh, why not?"
35146Oh, you cruel- hearted girl: do you call him that?"
35146Pence?"
35146Pence?"
35146Pence?"
35146Pence?"
35146Pence?"
35146Perhaps if I had seen him in broad daylight I might have recognised my mistake unless-- oh, Cyril, could it have been your ghost?"
35146Perhaps you can tell me who is the assassin?"
35146Perhaps, after all, she was mistaken, and-- and--"You can prove your innocence?"
35146Save us, Bella, what do you mean?"
35146She made a will in favour of Miss Isabella Faith----""Faith?
35146Still anxious to gain time for further consideration, he remarked once more,"So''y''want t''merry m''gel, Bella, Mr. Pence?
35146Tell me, my good gentleman, what did I say?"
35146That Lister person must have seen your father, and, as they were not on good terms--""How do you know that they were not?"
35146Then you----""Is it a woman?"
35146To- morrow at nine o''clock let us start off with your boxes----""And Dora?"
35146Vand?"
35146Vand?"
35146We seem to be involved in a web through which we can not break?
35146Well?"
35146What did I say?
35146What do you mean by drugged?"
35146What do you mean?"
35146What do you mean?"
35146What do you mean?"
35146What has she to do with the matter?"
35146What have you against his name?"
35146What if, after all, Cyril had been the visitor of a fortnight since?
35146What says Isaiah?"
35146What took place?"
35146What will you do, Miss Huxham?
35146What''s become of Granny Tunks, Cyril?
35146What''s come to you, Bella?
35146What''s the matter?"
35146What''s the time?
35146When?"
35146Where are Durgo and Henry to be buried?"
35146Where are my jewels?"
35146Where is he?"
35146Where is he?"
35146Where is she?
35146Where?
35146Who are you to behave like this, I should like to know?"
35146Who drugged you?"
35146Who is this person?"
35146Who told you?"
35146Who told you?"
35146Who was that person?
35146Why did n''t you give the alarm?"
35146Why do n''t you do what you say instead of trying to frighten me with stage thunder?"
35146Why do you ask?"
35146Why do you ask?"
35146Why do you hate me?"
35146Why not?
35146Why should I forget?"
35146Why were you drugged?
35146Why?"
35146Will you both help?"
35146Will you come?
35146Will you give up those papers, or must I wring your neck?"
35146Will you help?"
35146Would I have spoken to the man had I not believed him to be you?"
35146Would a man be like this in your sober England?"
35146Y''love Bella, es I take it?"
35146Yes, for me, but----""But I might have sneaked back, I suppose you mean?"
35146You are doubtless aware of her whereabouts?"
35146You can say this to me-- to me, of all people?"
35146You did n''t come back, Tunks?"
35146You grant that?"
35146You know how rich the Northern part of Africa was in the time of the Romans?"
35146You know that I am supposed to be Captain Huxham''s daughter?"
35146You marry Bella?
35146You say that Miss Huxham''s guess is correct?"
35146You will shake hands, will you not?"
35146Your father wishes it, so why not, when I love you so deeply?
35146are you sure?"
35146asked Bella, bending her brows like an empress,"what is it?"
35146asked Cyril anxiously;"go with Bella?"
35146asked Inglis;"and if dead, why ca n''t we find his body?"
35146cried Silas vehemently, spreading his hands across his lean, agitated face,"how dare you ask such a thing?"
35146have not our late troubles shown you that we must judge no one?
35146she cried out shrilly,"will you murder me also?"
35146understand what?"
35146was that the money you mentioned?"
35146what has happened?"
35146what is it?"
35146what is it?"
35146what''s come to you?
35146what''s that?
35146where are they?"
35146why?
35146why?"
34732A biga or quadriga of mules?
34732A loan?
34732A loud shot_ and then another not so loud_?
34732A sufferer like myself?
34732About deep enough, Mr Carrados?
34732About this weapon?
34732An eagle carrying off a hare, a figure flying with a wreath, a trophy of arms? 34732 An odd glove is not very much good, is it?"
34732And Lord Seastoke? 34732 And all were out on Tuesday evening?"
34732And contrived to be in here alone?
34732And do any of those-- say, during the rush-- do any of those run non- stop from Lambeth to Swanstead?
34732And find his way home afterwards by means of a mariner''s compass?
34732And have n''t I been mocked and despised and sneered at every day of my life here by your supercilious, superior, empty- headed men?
34732And having got me here, how do you propose to keep me?
34732And how do you know what to mark?
34732And how do you propose to prevent it?
34732And if I resist?
34732And that blinded you?
34732And the gentleman next door?
34732And this gentleman? 34732 And this glove, Mrs Straithwaite?
34732And this room could not be entered without your knowledge while you were about the place?
34732And what does that amount to? 34732 And what is that?"
34732And when do you go?
34732And would you allow my man to go through into the garden-- in case I require him?
34732And you have never heard where he came from or who he is?
34732And you really do all the work of it yourselves?
34732And you remembered-- with no reason to?
34732And you think?
34732And you will do that, Mr Carrados?
34732And, apropos of that, will you show me over your garden before I go, Mrs Bellmark?
34732And, besides, who''s going to engage a lawyer?
34732And, if sane, why should he wish to do that?
34732And, with your knowledge, no one has had an opportunity of having access to this book?
34732Anything else?
34732Anything in it besides soil, Elsie?
34732Are there any plaster figures about the room?
34732Are they particular to a day?
34732Are you crazy? 34732 Are you sure, Nina, that you have not brought a man from Scotland Yard instead?"
34732Are your ears never hoodwinked, may I ask?
34732Because I am blind?
34732Beyond that who shall prophesy?
34732But I wonder?
34732But a little expensive, too, at times?
34732But do you mean that he is going to direct a flash of lightning?
34732But how the deuce did you know?
34732But if it is, as it probably is, in Creake''s pocket, how do you propose to get it?
34732But if the world had come to an end----?
34732But in the great Palace of Justice?... 34732 But is he interested in Indo- Scythian inscriptions?"
34732But is there not a daughter here? 34732 But it might have gone earlier in the evening-- mislaid or lost or stolen?"
34732But nothing came of it; so it does n''t matter?
34732But there was no particular reason why you should not?
34732But this_ Glorie_, so carefully trained----?
34732But we have no champagne, I suppose?
34732But what can we ever do to thank Mr Carrados?
34732But what does it mean?
34732But what guarantee have we that he will not escape?
34732But what is the use of defying fate, and who successfully evades his destiny? 34732 But who is there?"
34732But why-- why-- why? 34732 But will he come?"
34732But would it not have been better-- simpler-- to have borrowed purely on the anticipation?
34732But, I say, you are blind, are n''t you?
34732But-- but what does it mean?
34732But... Mr Carrados----"Yes?
34732By the time of the inquest, you mean?
34732Can not we trust our own eyes?
34732Can you see a way in?
34732Can you see any policemen inside?
34732Capital, was n''t it?
34732Connected with the Arcady Theatre?
34732Could anything be more absurd?
34732Creake, Brookbend Cottage?
34732Did he expect to survive it?
34732Did he explain the motive for this rather eccentric partiality?
34732Did n''t Whitstable?
34732Did the customary offering arrive while you were there?
34732Did you ever notice the signals on the Great Northern Railway, Louis?
34732Did you know that I was engaged?
34732Do I look interested?
34732Do they keep much of value about the house?
34732Do you care to see the garden?
34732Do you happen to have a wooden foot- rule convenient?
34732Do you know any of these insurance people at all intimately, Mr Carrados?
34732Do you mean that?
34732Do you mean-- literally blind?
34732Do you not recognize the importance-- the deadly importance-- that this one shred of evidence may assume?
34732Do you remember how we used to pile it up on that obtuse ass Sanders and then roast him?
34732Do you unearth many murders?
34732Do you wish to make it natural?
34732Do you?
34732Does it?
34732Does the restriction lapse now; will Mr Frank junior be able to mine?
34732Dompierre,he remarked, with great clearness,"why the devil is Mr Carrados kept standing?"
34732Eh?
34732Even if I had any reason to doubt, the internal evidence was convincing, but how could I doubt? 34732 Even with a lion-- handled it?"
34732Fill it all up again?
34732Fountain Cottage?
34732Ghoosh? 34732 Gold might remain gold, but what imaginable use could be made of bank- notes after the end of the world?"
34732Has any doubt been cast upon it?
34732Has anyone else recognized you?
34732Have I said a word about it disappearing?
34732Have I? 34732 Have you ever been in the lion- house at feeding- time, Louis?"
34732Have you ever reflected what human beings will think of us a hundred years hence?
34732Have you?
34732He wished to mine?
34732Here are my family heirlooms-- a few decent pearls, my grandfather''s collection of camei and other trifles-- but who----?
34732His clothes?
34732How can we possibly take all this money, though?
34732How could we have, Roy? 34732 How did you come, Madame Ferraja?"
34732How did you know that there is a distributing- box in the hall?
34732How do they know that my father tried to kill Frank, or that he killed himself? 34732 How do you come to know of Nina Brun and Lord Seastoke?"
34732How do you propose to get that telegram, Max?
34732How does one know these things? 34732 How ever did he do it?"
34732How should I know?
34732I am here-- what more do you want? 34732 I do not accompany you, sir?"
34732I expect that there is a certain amount of repair needed?
34732I have Uncle Louis''s voice?
34732I reckon we''ll show them then, eh, mother?
34732I remember----"Yes, Louis?
34732I suppose Mr Greatorex is n''t still here by any chance, Parkinson?
34732I suppose the Foreign Office is anxious to oblige just now?
34732I suppose you are very fond of gardening?
34732I suppose you have the coins for disposal then? 34732 I suppose you know all about the typist by now, Louis?"
34732I suppose,pondered Carrados,"this insurance business might have led to other profitable connexions?"
34732I think you have a tin opener, Mrs Bellmark?
34732I wonder if you happened to mark the order of these in the chambers?
34732I wonder if you would allow me to send you a small hawthorn- tree?
34732I? 34732 If I hinted at a case of exceptional delicacy that will certainly interest you by its romantic possibilities----?"
34732If he has a sane object, pray what is it?
34732If it is not only that, why should he go to the trouble, Max?
34732If you know nothing of the Straithwaite affair, Max, what other pearl necklace case are you referring to?
34732Important?
34732In recognizing and identifying people?
34732In spite of----?
34732In what way?
34732Is he interested in aviation?
34732Is he mad, Louis?
34732Is it all bunkum, Max? 34732 Is it important?"
34732Is it really Monsieur Carrados?
34732Is it something that you think I can help you with?
34732Is it usual?
34732Is it?
34732Is n''t it Louis Calling?
34732Is n''t that what you wanted of me?
34732Is she unmarried?
34732Is that a fact?
34732Is that all right?
34732Is that so, Mr Carlyle?
34732Is that sum contingent on any specific performance?
34732Is there anything that Mr Brickwill wishes me to do?
34732Is there really anything in it, Max?
34732It has become more intricate than you expected?
34732It is a significant fact, seriously?
34732Just when you had begun to get it well in hand?
34732Late Flemish, is n''t it?
34732Locked?
34732MY DEAR FRIENDS,--Aren''t you glad? 34732 May I inquire if it is a recent photograph of the gentleman, sir?"
34732May I make a suggestion?
34732May I step out on to the balcony?
34732Me-- I?
34732Meals?
34732Mean what?
34732Mr Baxter, I think?
34732Mr Carlyle?
34732Mr Carrados, you will get them back for us, wo n''t you? 34732 Mr Carrados?"
34732Mr Frank Whitmarsh?
34732Mr Hollyer knows of my disability?
34732Mrs Bellmark, will you accept one thousand pounds as a full legal discharge of any claim that you may have on this property?
34732My daughter, sir; you would n''t have her not know?
34732My dear Dompierre, why beat the air with futile questions?
34732My dear Stephanie, what are you thinking of?
34732Nine hours?
34732No duplicate or master- key?
34732No indication of anyone coming to us from there?
34732No, sir?
34732Not Mead.... Do you mean that Hutchins----?
34732Not according to your Law Courts?
34732Not the necklace?
34732Nothing showy or expensive, eh?
34732Now? 34732 Of course you will not mention this to Uncle Louis yet, Mr Carrados?"
34732Oh, it is you, sir, is it? 34732 Oh, that proves that I was right?"
34732Oh, whatever is the matter?
34732Oh,he commented softly,"always; and it was quite a saying, was it?
34732Oh,he said, quite conversationally,"is there a chance of that?"
34732Oh,she exclaimed-- it would be difficult to say whether with relief or disappointment--"do you think so?
34732One- fifth? 34732 Or anything at all that is whitewashed?"
34732Our tawny friend?
34732Paris, egad?
34732Perhaps you''ve heard of that, Mr----?
34732Possibly a sort of up- to- date Sweeney Todd''s?
34732Possibly he did not get on well with his father?
34732Quite empty?
34732Rather thick string-- unusually thick for the purpose?
34732Say the word?
34732Seriously?
34732Shall Amy take a message?
34732Shall I go?
34732So you brought them to England?
34732So, Inspector, you could not wait for me, after all?
34732Something in your line that France can take from us since the days of-- what''s- his- name-- Vidocq, eh? 34732 Stopped?
34732Suppose I happen to forget it? 34732 Sure I can be of no further use?"
34732Surely it would have been an easy matter to have altered that afterwards?
34732Surely my man has got your name wrong?
34732Thank you-- but is it worth while?
34732That came out at the inquest, I presume?
34732That is all there is to know, Mr Carrados?
34732That is dated April the seventh?
34732That is what you are going to find out, Louis?
34732That was the first time you missed it?
34732That was your business all day-- running between Notcliff and Ingerfield?
34732That would hardly be fair, would it?
34732That you no longer love her?
34732The Markham necklace?
34732The even more celebrated Monsieur Dompierre, unless I am mistaken?
34732The great collector of the antiquities?
34732The one that Bellitzer saw last Saturday?
34732The papers and the glove have been with you ever since?
34732The revolver?
34732The shooting gallery?
34732The thing is, where do we stand?
34732The windows are frosted?
34732The_ Martian_?
34732Then can you tell me, without looking, what colour Professor Bulge''s eyes are?
34732Then he would scarcely require this?
34732Then it_ is_ in the papers, after all?
34732Then what in the name of goodness are you talking about, may I ask?
34732Then where are we, Max?
34732Then why do n''t you take him into the parlour?
34732Then why----?
34732Then you are not blind?
34732Then you desert me, Mr Carrados?
34732Then you do n''t think there will be any trouble, sir?
34732Then, of course, you have not thought it worth while to look for anything else?
34732There are, of course, other trains doing exactly the same journey-- a service, in fact?
34732There is a tobacconist''s shop directly opposite?
34732There was no absolute ostracism between you then? 34732 They can be stopped, I take it?"
34732This is a most important clue, Sir Benjamin----"Hey, what? 34732 This is an event, I suppose?"
34732This scheme commended itself to you, Mr Straithwaite?
34732This was a safety deposit,_ nicht wahr_?
34732This''Oxo''one, sir?
34732This, Parkinson,he said, when the man appeared,"is a photograph of a Mr----What first name, by the way?"
34732Unless I am misinformed, you are not so ungallant as to include everyone you have met here in your execration?
34732Unsatisfactory, eh?
34732Very ingenious,admitted Mr Carlyle,"but why did you really go?
34732Vidal?
34732Was it-- a profitable investment?
34732We are not going direct?
34732We are passing a hoarding, are we not?
34732Well, Louis?
34732Well, Max?
34732Well, he took up spiritualism or something, did n''t he? 34732 Well, why not look inside?"
34732Well; why do n''t you say something?
34732Well?
34732What are you doing, Max?
34732What are you doing?
34732What can you or anyone else do anyhow? 34732 What can you tell me about that?"
34732What colour were his eyes?
34732What did I say?
34732What did I tell you? 34732 What did the manager say?"
34732What did you say, Max?
34732What do they say about it up there?
34732What do they sell on the first floor?
34732What do you make of it, Parkinson?
34732What do you make of it?
34732What do you mean?
34732What do you want me to do instead, Mr Carrados?
34732What does he mean?
34732What does it involve?
34732What does it matter? 34732 What else, Max?"
34732What have they to lose by it, Max? 34732 What is in the papers, Louis?"
34732What is it that you really want to know?
34732What is it, mother?
34732What is missing?
34732What is that, Max?
34732What is that?
34732What is that?
34732What is the ceiling made of?
34732What is the fee?
34732What is''Rubbo,''Max?
34732What is, Mrs Bellmark?
34732What next, Louis?
34732What on earth has that got to do with it, may I inquire?
34732What shall I say?
34732What then?
34732What time is it?
34732What word will you take?
34732What you said about the revolver-- that your father could not have had it?
34732What''s the matter with the parlour now?
34732What''s this?
34732What, however, are the facts?
34732Where on earth am I to go now?
34732Where shall I be in reality?
34732Where were you at the time of the tragedy?
34732Who can say?
34732Who is this, sir?
34732Who''s the foreign gentleman he''s bringing?
34732Why can not things be agreeable? 34732 Why do you ask me that?"
34732Why in heaven''s name have we Markhams coming into it now?
34732Why the States, Max?
34732Why, Louis?
34732Why, that actually was the number of his engine-- how do you know it?
34732Why?
34732Why?
34732Why?
34732Will it take long?
34732Will you come into papa''s room then? 34732 Will you come this way, please?"
34732Will you do it?
34732Will you go in, sir?
34732Will you try a cigarette?
34732With the same stops on all the down journeys?
34732Without notifying anything wrong?
34732Would it be ungenerous to suggest that you are trying to gain time? 34732 Would you like to see her?"
34732Yes, but Fountain something, Groat''s Heath-- Fountain Court: was n''t that where Metrobe----?
34732Yes, but why could he not have it on Thursday?
34732Yes... it was a sort of miracle, was n''t it?
34732Yes; but how do you know?
34732Yes; it is rather sweet, is n''t it? 34732 Yes?"
34732Yet how do you know, even now, that he is, as you say, an innocent man?
34732You are Signor Carrados, in-- in the person?
34732You are in no particular hurry?
34732You are not disappointed that I can tell you so little?
34732You are prepared to put your own arrangements aside?
34732You are sure, absolutely sure, that you saw the revolver there after your father had left, and missed it before he returned?
34732You did not visit High Barn?
34732You do n''t happen to live at Swanstead yourself, sir?
34732You do n''t know her, of course, Parkinson?
34732You do n''t mind giving me a line of introduction to your niece?
34732You had occasion to open the drawer?
34732You hardly imagine that I have not considered this eventuality, do you?
34732You hardly remember me, I suppose? 34732 You have broken it off?"
34732You have just received this, Mr-- Mr Berge, is n''t it?
34732You have other gloves of the same pattern?
34732You have removed the cartridges?
34732You have spoken of me to her, I trust, Louis?
34732You have the compass, Mr Bellmark?
34732You hear someone coming up the steps?
34732You hear that, Stephanie?
34732You insist that you alone have been in charge for the last six months?
34732You intended this lawn for croquet?
34732You kept the paper, of course?
34732You know? 34732 You mean it, sir?
34732You miss the dog and the stick?
34732You noticed, in fact, nothing special by which Parkinson could be identified?
34732You prefer pencil?
34732You read?
34732You really mean this, Carrados?
34732You really think that we ought?
34732You saw that girl-- my own daughter, that I''ve worked for all her life?
34732You saw that, sir?
34732You see the whole sequence, of course?
34732You seriously suggest that the man was not Professor Bulge-- that he was an impostor?
34732You still mean that-- seriously?
34732You suggest that he really may have a sane object?
34732You think something may come of it, sir? 34732 You think that everything is all right?"
34732You were at the end of your tether?
34732You were even prepared to send an innocent man to the gallows?
34732You were prepared for it then?
34732You were the first tenants?
34732You will excuse me a few minutes?
34732You will not mind my fixing a''developer''here, Miss Chubb-- a few small screws?
34732You will remember him for the future?
34732You wish to see over the house?
34732You wished to see me?
34732You wo n''t believe that there is nothing to explain-- that it was purely second- sight?
34732You would propose accepting the fact that a five- thousand- pound necklace was submitted to him?
34732Your father and young Frank, for instance?
34732Your father, Miss George?
34732_ Basta!_ he is here; what more do you want? 34732 _ Sette_, Herringbone----""May I----?"
34732''Aha,''says Gian,''what have we here?''
34732''Creake,''he said,''oh, he''s the man with the romantic typist, is n''t he?''
34732''What about the typist?''
34732''_ Why not look inside?_''""''Why not look inside?''"
34732''_ Why not look inside?_''""''Why not look inside?''"
34732107 still?"
347327, Madame Ferraja?"
347327436?
34732A small bottle, eh?"
34732An Indian gentleman, I presume?"
34732And how do they come to pick on me?
34732And it is?"
34732And your father?"
34732And, finally, how is he possibly to determine beforehand whether there is anything in my safe to repay so elaborate a plant?"
34732And_ why_ was it always so on Thursday?"
34732Are n''t you happy at this moment?
34732Are there a few yards of string hanging loose from it?"
34732Are there any of the porters or officials about here?"
34732Are you the British Museum?"
34732As they drove home again Carrados explained, and Mr Carlyle sat aghast, saying incredulously:"Good God, Max, is it possible?"
34732Besides, why should n''t you?
34732Bond Coupons?"
34732Brickwill?
34732But do I call you''Mr Carlyle''in consequence?
34732But he merely contributed an encouraging"Yes?"
34732But how did you know?
34732But is the incident closed?
34732But perhaps you saw that in the papers?"
34732But was the engine- driver responsible?
34732But what about the neighbour, Louis?
34732But what does our lady stand to make by that being stolen?"
34732But what is the drift of all this?"
34732But why are you pitied?"
34732But why do you beg my pardon, Louis?"
34732But why should there be?
34732But will anyone who can tell me be there now?"
34732But you will come and clear my father''s name?"
34732But, I mean, how did he study his model?"
34732By what prescience was he to know at what exact minute his opportunity would occur?"
34732Can it really be possible that he also has made a similar discovery?"
34732Can you see if my car is below?"
34732Can you tell me what he has achieved by that?"
34732Cast off the burden of your sinful lusts, for what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?
34732Clever fellow, that, what?
34732Could you not carry this one through?"
34732Did he by any chance come here on Monday?"
34732Did uncle tell you?"
34732Did you give them to me, Teddy?"
34732Did you settle what we might almost term''his hash''?"
34732Do I succeed in interesting you, Mr Drishna?"
34732Do I understand you to say that you will post me on the report of the case from Dover?"
34732Do n''t you see how exciting it is becoming?"
34732Do n''t you see, he will spot something?
34732Do you by any chance know Zinghi''s in Mercer Street?"
34732Do you care to come round to dinner?"
34732Do you care to see it?"
34732Do you happen to carry a revolver?"
34732Do you know much of the case?"
34732Do you know whether your brother- in- law has any practical knowledge of electricity, Mr Hollyer?"
34732Do you think that you would be able to find me an oil lamp?"
34732Do you think that you would permit me to choose the spot for it, Mrs Bellmark?"
34732Do you want to see it before he goes?"
34732Does he call upon the authorities?
34732Does your cousin Frank smoke cigarettes?"
34732Does your theory involve the certainty of the fireman being killed, Louis?"
34732Has any officious idiot had anyone arrested?"
34732Have you any idea whether Mrs Creake has real ground for it?"
34732Have you ever tried to see a copy of a telegram addressed to someone else?"
34732Have you got a photograph of Mr Creake?"
34732Have you noticed that you were pulled up oftener on a Thursday than on any other day?"
34732Have you seen him?"
34732He merely said:''Mr Straithwaite?''
34732He sat down, however, and added more quietly:"But why do I tell you all this?
34732How can they know, Mr Carrados?"
34732How did you recognize me?"
34732How do we proceed?"
34732How do you arrive at that?"
34732How does that strike you for one of your own family, Mr Carrados?"
34732How else are we to account for the circumstances?"
34732How much has he cleared?"
34732However, is it probable?"
34732I am a blind man-- I have n''t seen my servant for twelve years-- what idea can you give me of him?
34732I believe you were typing when I came.... Are n''t you having me?"
34732I do n''t think that you and I have met as yet, Mr Brebner?"
34732I had heard in a roundabout way of your wonderful power-- ought I to tell you how-- does it matter?"
34732I hope everything is all right?"
34732I know something of that, Max.... Have you any idea what my business is?"
34732I sent out for some tea, and in the course----""How long was she alone in here?"
34732I suppose it is large enough to burn for a whole evening?"
34732I suppose you happened to discover that Nina Brun had gone there?"
34732I want you to go up the steps-- there are steps up the signal, by the way?"
34732I wonder who else in the world would have done so much for a forlorn creature who just flashed across a few days of his busy life?
34732I, romantic?
34732If he has a sane object, what is it?"
34732If it is n''t burglary, what motive could the man have for any such nocturnal perambulation?"
34732If, therefore----?"
34732Irons the gardener?"
34732Is Mr Irons a local character?"
34732Is he a good watch- dog, Louis?"
34732Is it not conceivable, Louis, that an even more remarkable series might be brought about by design?"
34732Is it one that is familiarly on the lips of the criminal classes?
34732Is that true?"
34732Is the return of my irreplaceable notes on''Polyphyletic Bridal Customs among the mid- Pleistocene Cave Men''to depend on a solitary director?
34732Is there a signal at either end of the platform?"
34732Is there any particular address to which we can telephone in case you are required, sir?"
34732Is there anything in that way that I can do for you?"
34732Is there no one who can really say whether the thing is genuine or not?"
34732Is there nothing more that I can do now?"
34732Is there something inherently comic about me or the atmosphere of The Turrets?"
34732Is there-- anything?"
34732It has occurred to me----""Yes, Max?"
34732It is too small, is n''t it?"
34732Just now-- look here, Baxter, ca n''t you give me a line of introduction to some dealer in this sort of thing who happens to live in town?
34732Lastly, will you persuade your husband not to decline his firm''s offer until Monday?"
34732May I ask if it has been effective?"
34732May I offer you a cigarette?"
34732May we proceed?"
34732Might I try one of yours?"
34732Mrs Straithwaite''s-- pearl necklace?
34732My husband would be on the verge of distraction if he thought in the dark that it was the arrival of the police;--who knows?"
34732Next I should like you to send a little note to Mr Irons-- your maid could deliver it also to- night, I dare say?"
34732Not another scuttling case, Mr Hollyer?"
34732Now do you know how this place is secured, Max?"
34732Now the other glove, Mrs Straithwaite; what became of that?"
34732Now what do you think?
34732Now what do you want me to do, Max?"
34732Now what is it?"
34732Now who goes through?"
34732Now your servants, Mrs Straithwaite?
34732Now, I suppose, Mr Carrados, you will have to hand me over to justice?
34732Now, Louis, where does this Direct Insurance live?"
34732Now, Mead, what is he like?
34732Now, Mr Carlyle, where are we in this business?"
34732Now, you would like to see these men?"
34732One point-- the glove?"
34732Perhaps you, Mr Stoker----?"
34732Really?"
34732Shall I ask Hutchins to come here to see you-- say to- morrow?
34732Shall I read it for you?"
34732Shall I read it?"
34732Shall you mind going down to the shops for a bottle?"
34732She came here, of course?"
34732She will not?"
34732So we are there?"
34732Some of those perhaps?"
34732Stephanie and I are finding that out, are n''t we, dear?
34732Suppose Mr Bellitzer''s confidential clerk happens to be the sweetheart of your maid?"
34732Suppose, for the sake of curiosity, that I decline?"
34732Take the case of your quite commonplace neighbour----""That is really what you came about?"
34732That is on the edge of Heronsbourne Park, is it not?"
34732That is, if you----?"
34732That makes you smile?"
34732That, surely, is n''t Providence?"
34732The cheque, of course, to be given immediately the goods are delivered?"
34732The date?"
34732The engine- driver is your client, of course?"
34732The jury were inclined to exonerate the signalman, were n''t they?
34732The other two----?"
34732Then what else has he done?"
34732There is no doubt that it is yours?"
34732There is no need for the services of both and so----""Is it settled?"
34732There is no wad lying within sight?"
34732There is one to each safe, I think?"
34732This is not----""It was a safety deposit?
34732This is what you require, sir?"
34732Throwing kittens?"
34732Unless,"she added hopefully,"the turnip bed will do instead?
34732Very little.... Are you willing to give me a roving commission to investigate?"
34732Was n''t it about him and the Purloined Letter?"
34732Was there in his mind any mad impulse to force conclusions with that puny weapon?
34732Well, what is it you want to know?"
34732Well, what of that?
34732Well----?"
34732Were you referring to any particular point, sir?"
34732What am I to do, Mr Carrados?"
34732What did I tell you?"
34732What did it matter if he recognized?
34732What did you do, Mr Whitmarsh?"
34732What do I find?
34732What do you make of the thing?"
34732What do you propose?"
34732What do you say, Teddy?"
34732What has the company done with your man?"
34732What have you done on that line?"
34732What have you done?"
34732What is being done?
34732What is he like?"
34732What is it?"
34732What is the explanation?
34732What is the trouble?"
34732What jewellery did Miss Hutchins wear?"
34732What of that?
34732What possible connexion is there between them?"
34732What reason have you?"
34732What should you say about it, eh, Parkinson?"
34732What time to- morrow shall I find you in, Miss Whitmarsh?
34732What was there for me to do?
34732What''s on, I say?
34732What''s that?"
34732What''s the game, I say?
34732Where are the police?"
34732Where are you staying now?"
34732Where are you staying?"
34732Where does he live?"
34732Where is the place?"
34732Where next, Max?"
34732Where were you on Monday, Professor?"
34732Which is right?"
34732Who are the guilty persons?
34732Who is he?"
34732Who recognized you, Nina?"
34732Who, Max?
34732Why did you not tell me?
34732Why do n''t he_ do_ something for his money?"
34732Why have I heard nothing of it before?"
34732Why indeed?"
34732Why is it?"
34732Why on earth should he want to know about London?"
34732Why?"
34732Will that suit you?"
34732Will the first grey light of morning find us still in this impasse?
34732Will you be serious and discuss it?"
34732Will you do me the favour of reading me the last paragraph?"
34732Would you like to test them?"
34732Wynn Carrados?
34732Yes?"
34732You can show them to me?"
34732You have seen him, of course?"
34732You really mean that?"
34732You regard me, Mr Carrados, either as a detected rogue or a repentant ass?"
34732You remember the awful smash on the Central and Suburban at Knight''s Cross Station a few weeks ago?"
34732You see my difficulty?"
34732You see the inference?
34732You see?"
34732You think you will be able to clear me?
34732You want it repeated?"
34732You were to some extent friends?"
34732You will not-- you will not desert us?"
34732You wished to see me?"
34732You wo n''t mind, will you?"
34732You would like the particulars of that?"
34732You''ll excuse me now, Mr Carlyle, wo n''t you?
34732You''ve had to do with''expert witnesses,''I suppose?"
34732Your usual hour, Max?"
34732_ Is there anything you wish done?_"There was no time for deliberation.
34732_ Ja?_""_ Nein, nein!_"almost hissed the agonized official.
34732bearer bonds?
34732can you doubt their gratitude and my acquittal?
34732cried Mr Carlyle hotly,"you are not going to let this scoundrel cheat the gallows after all?"
34732do you realize that you are responsible for the death of scores of innocent men and women?"
34732exclaimed Drishna, dropping his affectation of unconcern as though electrified by the word,"do you mean-- really blind-- that you do not see me?"
34732he managed to articulate,"how do you know?"
34732it is n''t Max Wynn-- old''Winning''Wynn?"
34732said the landlady, feeling that it would be a pleasure to oblige so agreeable a gentleman,"what else might there be?"
34732to know what I had?
34732you do n''t mean to say that you have got Mead to admit it?"
43301About my lost boy? 43301 About six years ago?"
43301And Jerry became a New York crook?
43301And Jerry was with you?
43301And is he dead?
43301And joined the train on the march?
43301And the father of this girl who so wickedly fled from her home?
43301And this was your plot?
43301And why?
43301And wished me so?
43301And you became a Baltimore crook?
43301And you have seen that man, Kent Lomax?
43301And you returned East?
43301And you say there is no rent to pay, Will?
43301And you think Night Hawk Jerry stole it from you?
43301And you''ll talk our way, wo n''t you?
43301And your name, madam, in full, please?
43301Are you Jerry, the Night Hawk?
43301Are you ready?
43301At sunrise you say?
43301Be seated, pray, or will you enter the house?
43301But are there any schools, my son?
43301But you are not my boy? 43301 But you can find her, sir?"
43301Can you be blind, if need be?
43301Certainly, my boy; but you appear to be searching for something that you have lost?
43301Did you find your money, my lad?
43301Did you never see him?
43301Did you remain long in Nebraska?
43301Do you see this photograph?
43301Do you?
43301Does this prove anything?
43301Does this?
43301He looks it sart''in, and I thought it were Billy come ter life ag''in when I seen his face; but will he do it?
43301Ho, Murphy, any one to see me?
43301Ho, boy, what do you want here?
43301I guess you''ve been nipped by hunger, and wish a soft thing of it for life, do n''t you?
43301I hope Mrs. Ivey is well, sir?
43301Is it necessary that I should give another?
43301My boy, who are you?
43301Need I tell you that it was_ my husband_? 43301 No, sir, I am not mistaken, for this is the number, but--""But what?"
43301Now, are you ready?
43301Oh why did you do me this cruel wrong?
43301Oh, sir, can you do this?
43301Pardon me, sir, but may I have a word with you?
43301Some six years ago, in Nebraska?
43301Suppose I tell you I know where your watch is?
43301Suppose I tell you that I know something of your past?
43301Suppose I tell you that I know where it is?
43301Suppose he is not there, sir?
43301That proves that she did run off with someone; but who, Lomax, for I am not the guilty one?
43301The boy got your crib raided, you told me?
43301The captain sent you here because you resembled somebody, did n''t he?
43301They are the two days in which he committed the crime of kidnapping and murder--"Murder? 43301 This was in Nebraska?"
43301To me?
43301We have not met, sir; but may I ask if you did not take up to Baltimore a cargo of cattle and sell them there?
43301Well, Richard, what is the matter, that I receive such a bleak welcome?
43301Well, Will, can you keep your mouth shut?
43301Well, how would you like to become a rich man''s son?
43301Well, it is important that this letter reaches a friend of mine, as I can not go myself, so you take it to the number; can you read?
43301Well, my young friend, what is your plan?
43301Well, this chain, taken from you in Maryland when you were captured, is it not the same that you had on your watch?
43301Well, youngster, what is it you are after?
43301What did ther kid come here for?
43301What do you do?
43301What do you mean?
43301What do you want me for?
43301What do you want with him?
43301What do you wish of me?
43301What has become of the real little boy that was stolen?
43301What have you got to say?
43301What is your intention, Lomax, for this scene is growing monotonous to me?
43301What is your name, my lad?
43301What is your name?
43301What is your name?
43301What is your purpose?
43301What must I do?
43301What was that, my son?
43301What?
43301When did you have it last?
43301Where are you from?
43301Where?
43301Who else?
43301Who said so?
43301Who sent you?
43301Why not?
43301Why yes, madam, that was my name, when years ago I was a cavalry officer; but have we met before that you recognize me?
43301Will you follow down the chimney, sir?
43301Will you go West with me and find out?
43301Will you go?
43301Yes, mother; did you know him?
43301Yet you said awhile ago you had not known Jerry more than a year?
43301You are from Philadelphia?
43301You deny that you ran off with Ruby Raymond from her father''s house, at twelve o''clock on the night of Christmas Eve?
43301You did not expect to see me again, Ruby?
43301You had your own waggon and horses?
43301You have the chain that was attached to it?
43301You mean not to see anything that is not intended for me to see, sir?
43301You see um, massa?
43301You think he''ll put up anything?
43301Your brother at work, and at night?
43301All pressed about him, while he continued, pointing to the skull:"Do you see that fracture?
43301And the result?
43301As he drew near to where the buggy was waiting, he said pleasantly, recognizing the negro driver:"Well, Hercules, out for a drive?"
43301At once Will determined to follow them there, and after getting the directions, he asked:"Has Mr. Rossmore ever heard of his missing child?"
43301Did she intend to defy him?
43301For half a moment he stood, gazing at the face of the youngster, and then he said:"My boy, do you remember to have seen me before?"
43301Had she lost his address?
43301Ivey_, I believe?"
43301Kent Lomax seemed astounded, and asked, sternly:"Do you deny it?"
43301On the way Mr. Rossmore asked:"My son, do you think you could find the grave of my little Will, from the description you had of it?"
43301Page 19, changed punctuation to question mark in"Your brother at work, and at night?"
43301Page 3, changed?
43301Rossmore?"
43301Rossmore?"
43301Schuyler Cluett bowed politely and asked:"Is this the home of Colonel Ivey?"
43301The Human Sleuth- Hound=; or, Who Holds the Winning Hand?
43301The boy appeared like an apparition to the officers, but he gave them no time for thought, as he said:"Is not that Sergeant Daly?"
43301The face of the man showed his evil heart, and in dread she said:"I have but a few dollars in the world, and would you take_ that_?"
43301The man saw his mistake and recoiled, as he said:"What if I have?"
43301The woman arose quickly, and asked as firmly as she could:"Well, sir, what do you wish here?"
43301There was no door in this hall, except the one by which he had entered, but the man said:"Is there an answer?"
43301What could it mean?
43301What do you mean?"
43301Will did not show the slightest sign of having seen that the man made a slip of the tongue, as he asked:"In a mining- camp, you say?"
43301another?"
43301are you drunk?
43301did you do_ that_?"
43301do you wish to make a dollar?"
43301he was two days absent, then?
43301how like a man you have grown; but you did not lose your gold badge, did you?"
43301it is you is it, Black Brick?"
43301of what else will you accuse me, Lomax?"
43301she is absent then?"
43301what more did you hear, my son?"
43301you have been West, then?"
46153Oh, auntie, auntie, what shall I do? 46153 _ N''en sais- tu bien le moyen?_"That night the condition is fulfilled.

46153By what marvellous accident was the hopeful news of the chemical investigation thus misinterpreted?

46153Had it caught sight of those wonderful green eyes of his, that it seemed so frightened?
46153He said who would believe me with my character?
46153He said, what else could he say?
46153How happy-- how very happy-- good Heaven, what is this?
46153I wonder if she has seen Ed....?

46153What can he mean?
46153What can this mean?
46153What did she do in the laboratory?
46153What is the Baron''s connection with the catastrophe that follows?
46153What is the matter?
46153Why should she when she disliked him so much?
46153Why should suffering make one cross?
46153Why, if she had nothing particular to say, should she have taken the trouble of learning that little bit of English?

40821And you agreed?
40821And you thought Bulow and Company was too strong for you, so you never gave the Government information?
40821And----?
40821Anyhow,he whispered,"I got one whoop coming to me later-- eh?"
40821Are you coming back?
40821Are you making money now?
40821Are you sure of that?
40821Are you willing to be guided by me in the matter?
40821Being such friends, you must have known him long?
40821But what I want to know is how soon you can come to work?
40821But you are thinking of quitting and going back to the Royal Navy?
40821But you found him quite a decent old chap even in trade?
40821But you got the goods I sold you?
40821But, Wood, she is not ready; she has no clothes; and how can she be sent there alone?
40821But, Wood,he replied, with great concern,"little Jim has always been so free, would n''t it be wrong to shut her up in a place like that?
40821But, then, I will never see my flowers, or Nereid, or hear the music among the beautiful plants and forests at the bottom of the Gulf? 40821 But-- dismissing that phase of it, can you still escape responsibility?
40821By the way, did you learn anything-- of her? 40821 Ca n''t we,"she added, anxiously glancing over to a spooning couple by the window,"ca n''t we go to some less public place?"
40821Can the old darkey, Don, run the_ Sprite_, do you think?
40821Can you? 40821 Daddy, did you think I was gone too long?
40821Daddy-- Daddy, dear, ca n''t you hear me? 40821 Did n''t I tell ye?
40821Did you hear of anyone moonshining in the swamps?
40821Did you say yer name was Wood? 40821 Did you- all ever see such a damn mule?"
40821Did you-- have you seen her yourself?
40821Do n''t you get lonesome and feel afraid here all alone?
40821Do n''t you think there are some good ones?
40821Do you feel safe with such valuables around? 40821 Do you know you took a big chance leaving those jugs of moonshine in that open boat?
40821Do you mean I must go back to the turpentine country?
40821Do you think I have done so much? 40821 Even though Ramund and the manager are admitted to bail, what can they do down here?
40821Has Bulow and Company a private station anywhere?
40821Have I got time to go down to Georgia with Don to get things started again where they left off fifteen years ago, before this case goes to trial?
40821Have you been up all night?
40821Have you got a wireless on your launch?
40821Have you seen anything of the submarine? 40821 Have you seen little Jim?"
40821Have you-- have you any news? 40821 Have-- have you been up the river-- I mean where the plant is-- where we got the moonshiners that time?"
40821He had changed then?
40821He''s done dead, ai n''t he?
40821How could I tell who it was? 40821 How did you get the train to stop here?
40821How do you know the submerging tanks are intact and water tight?
40821How do you like it here, little Jim?
40821How do you like this kind of work?
40821How far is the Nereid?
40821How is that-- just what do you mean?
40821How long will it take to get there?
40821How long will you be away?
40821How many of the crew are there?
40821How much is that vessel worth; that is, what would it cost built now?
40821How much money have I got coming, Mistah Wood?
40821How much money will it require?
40821How much?
40821How soon can you know?
40821How were you guided in laying out your flower beds? 40821 How would New Yorkers like to go seventy- five or a hundred miles to market?"
40821Howard, are you sure you are doing the wisest thing by going on this way?
40821Howard, is this sunken submarine intact?
40821Howard, we can get those bodies, ca n''t we?
40821Howard, why do you never use a diver''s suit when you go sponging? 40821 Howard, why do you use the plural?"
40821Howard,said I,"did you find the captain''s strong box?
40821I do n''t know, Howard; what would you guess her dead- weight tonnage?
40821I wonder if they will have a different kind of hell or heaven?
40821If I had some of this good- for- nothing land what would I do with ut?
40821Ike, you sell from a catalog, do n''t you?
40821Is it very-- very important?
40821Is n''t it too bad he has had no chance for an education?
40821Is n''t there-- isn''t there something you can suggest?
40821Is that what you think?
40821Is there another''terror''in the_ Titian_?
40821Is there something wrong? 40821 Is your father out of danger?"
40821Mr. Canby is not about?
40821Now is they any more of you- all ut wants to fight?
40821Now, Scotty, have you taken gasoline yet?
40821Perhaps five thousand tons?
40821Scotty, are you willing to open up?
40821Scotty, did n''t you tell me you were a gunner in the Royal Navy before you went in the engine- room?
40821Scotty, have you been discharged?
40821Scotty, what else is it that makes you think there is something wrong in the wind?
40821Shall we wait?
40821Still fishing, Ike?
40821Supposing by any chance she could be floated, where would we stand?
40821Tell me how you know so well where this man Canby''s place is up on the Keys?
40821The Government wants submarines now, do n''t it?
40821The bank is running the plant now?
40821The big steamers have?
40821The expense ceases to be a factor-- why is now not the time to begin with her education?
40821The railroad was built, I take it?
40821Then I will never go back to the Keys to live? 40821 Then my real name is not Canby?
40821Then what?
40821Then your father is not here much?
40821This country is all right-- isn''t it?
40821This land''s no better than the turpentine country-- what would such cussed stuff be worth if I had ut?
40821Thought so,he replied, intensely gratified,"I could feel it,"he added,"and what has become of those that were my people?"
40821Well, why do n''t I go as usual? 40821 What are his antecedents?"
40821What bank are you with?
40821What can I do with ut?
40821What can we do but fire on her? 40821 What did you do to the man with''em?"
40821What did you do with the wimmen?
40821What do you think it is best for?
40821What do you think it is?
40821What do you think of the Purdues?
40821What do you want here?
40821What do you want me to do?
40821What have you dug up, Scotty?
40821What is a''terror''?
40821What is it, Scotty?
40821What is it?
40821What is your name?
40821What kind of goods do you sell?
40821What name, please?
40821What right have you here?
40821What was in the captain''s chest?
40821What''s the war news?
40821What''s this?
40821When''s flood water? 40821 Where did you put''em out?"
40821Where do you want to take it-- Key West?
40821Where does he sell his stock?
40821Where in the name of Heaven do they get the material to make such paper?
40821Where is Howard? 40821 Where will these fellows strike for, Howard?"
40821Where''s the other one?
40821Who are you?
40821Why did you do that?
40821Why does your father go away so early? 40821 Why is a jerkwater railroad exciting the bidders?"
40821Will Daddy be there, too?
40821Will she answer to the rudder?
40821Will that do it?
40821Wo n''t you have a seat?
40821Wood-- am I doing anything wrong-- am I violating any law in robbing that wreck?
40821Yer crazy mule breaks up our camp and spoils our breakfast and now yer want to fight-- is dat it?
40821Yes, I know you are right, but have I got the courage? 40821 Yes, I know, but how you goin''to get the stumps out?"
40821Yes-- but how am I going to get the turpentine and rosin outen the stumps after I blow''em up?
40821Yes-- why?
40821Yes?
40821You ca n''t keep it for me, Mistah Wood?
40821You could n''t hear what they said about Canby?
40821You did n''t have time to go up to Alligator Island for a shot, did you?
40821You have had a wreck here, I see?
40821You have not met the man the bank will send to take your bonds?
40821You mean going by the name of Canby?
40821You mean where you have been getting those copper bars?
40821You put two lone wimmen on Alligator Island and not a house fur ten miles, and threw the man in the river''cause he wanted to take care of''em?
40821You think you are right; the freight hold is the biggest part?
40821You will have to borrow a million then?
40821Your father was never able to get into Nereid?
40821A greasy piece of German cheese from one of the big steamers is going to run her so what in the devil do you suppose they are up to?"
40821An''now you say I can have his job?"
40821And Don-- what will become of old Don?"
40821And I wo n''t have my boat_ Titian_, and wo n''t Daddy have the_ Sprite_?
40821And how am I going to tell her-- what led to it?
40821And if we did arrive ahead of them how could we contend with a five- pound cannon which I knew they had mounted the day before?
40821And it''s him you want to know about?"
40821And that everything the Boche fails to say is just as important as what he usually lies about?"
40821And why did they want a crew strictly Boche?
40821And why do they want a five- pound gun and rifles?
40821And why should n''t I?
40821And, moreover, how am I going to tell her that my name is not Canby?
40821Are we going to get the goods?
40821Are you going to help me?"
40821Are you going to let the bigness of Howard Byng come to the front?"
40821As a common debt of gratitude for this are you not bound now to find her and see that she is made comfortable and not in want?
40821As long as you are sure they are going back I think they ought to have a hearty welcome, Howard, do n''t you?"
40821Assuming a more cheerful attitude again, I asked:"Howard, have you heard absolutely nothing of what has been going on outside?
40821Both felt it was a distinct crisis in their lives, a turn in life''s road which was separating them-- how long-- and where would it lead?
40821But I believe you are on the level for all that, and I do n''t mind telling----""Then, Scotty, what''s the use of being so tight?
40821But why did they want him?--why the warrants?
40821Ca n''t you hear me?"
40821Can I help you?"
40821Can you understand it?"
40821Daddy, you know me now, do n''t you?"
40821Did he try to sell you his land?"
40821Did n''t I tell ye?"
40821Did n''t I tell you when we finished it that we would have use for it soon?"
40821Did you ever hear of the Purdues of New York?"
40821Did you get any news?"
40821Did you know my mother, too?"
40821Do n''t you know little Jim now?
40821Do n''t you know me?
40821Do you feel safe here without me?"
40821Do you hear those bells ringing out to the world-- peace and good will to men?
40821Do you know anything about the schools up there?"
40821Do you know that sometimes our music instructress plays for me so delightfully I can almost go to sleep as I wanted to down in the water?
40821Do you know what a''bellering jag''is?
40821Do you realize what it means for me to part with her?
40821Do you see that plate bolted to the deck aft?
40821Do you suppose they thought I was a moonshiner just finished a long term, and was gunnin''for the man who put me in?"
40821Do you think you can help me?"
40821Do you understand me, Howard?"
40821Do you understand me, Howard?"
40821Do you-- do you think of any possible way to find my husband and child?"
40821Does he do that every day?"
40821Does that end your list of benefactions?"
40821Dropping pistol for knife he pressed the keen edge against it and hissed,"Now will yer tell?"
40821Finally I asked:"Howard, have you heard anything from the North since you came here?"
40821Had I struck a crazy house?
40821Had he turned traitor and played into their hands?
40821Has any of Bulow''s ships, tugs or barges handled anything like that?
40821Has your father a rifle aboard?"
40821Have you decided about her?"
40821He is a wonderful fellow, is n''t he?"
40821How am I going to meet it?
40821How can I tell little Jim my name is not Canby?
40821How can you fix it?"
40821How could I, without even a name, beat them except by strategy?
40821How did he know the Canby boat, the fast one I was telling you about, was at the Tortugas at exactly that time?
40821How did you find this jumping- off place?
40821How did you get here?
40821How far was I to blame for not wanting to take that boy with me there and then?
40821How is it you are all dressed up instead of burning gasoline on the blue?"
40821How would I feel goin''to the Purdues, with my Cracker talk and swamp ways?"
40821Howard, can you recall, when we last sat in this corner fifteen years ago, why I counseled caution, to''play close''and let good enough alone?"
40821Howard, do you-- do you think there is a chance?"
40821I do n''t care if the whole world hears-- is he alive and-- is he well?"
40821I started over to him and asked,"Where can I keep them until a train comes going north?
40821I suppose you have been too busy?"
40821I will try to be brave but you will not think badly of me if I fail-- will you?"
40821I wonder what they want?
40821I wonder where Scotty is with the_ Sprite_?"
40821I''m asking you what I can do for myself,''cause I know you kin tell me, ca n''t yer?"
40821I-- I-- suppose you know-- all about it-- how it happened?"
40821Is he unrelenting-- is he not yet convinced?"
40821Is it possible Bulows have something to do with it?
40821Now do you see why I''m a little excited?"
40821Now do you understand why they decided to sink me without trace?
40821Now what did he want there?
40821Now you know me, do n''t you?"
40821Now, why do they want a gun on this craft?
40821Of course, you were happy?
40821Of how much self- interest was concealed in that who shall be the judge?
40821One day I queried:"Howard, what are you going to do with your money?"
40821Shall I just scare them?"
40821She continued,"Have you ever seen our store?
40821She is wonderful and has been so kind to me; I wonder why I never had a mother?
40821The point is, should we take the venture, or go on the way we are now?"
40821There has never been a moment that I have not loved him and would now willingly give my life-- but my child, my little Norma, what of her?
40821They must come thirty or forty miles, so would not have quite time to be there now, would they?"
40821They''re here now; want to see''em?"
40821Was it the beautiful leather, or something else for which they were willing to"break and enter"--committing a felony-- to see?
40821Was that when my mother died?"
40821What are you going to do?"
40821What can I do?
40821What did the manager and an executive of Bulow and Company want to see in Canby''s warehouse?
40821What did you do with''em?"
40821What do you know about Canby?"
40821What do you think I''d better do?"
40821What do you think?"
40821What do you want to see my father for?"
40821What had they done with the two young ladies-- his guests?
40821What is it?
40821What manner of man was this who could stand such punishment and exposure?
40821What more glory did I need than to have been even indirectly responsible?
40821What shall I do?
40821What would she do without her flowers and being able to go about as she pleased?"
40821When does this cutter leave in the morning?"
40821Where did Canby get those ingots of lead or copper, wrapped in sharkskins?
40821Where was Scotty with the_ Sprite_ and five- pound gun?
40821Why did n''t you bring Daddy with you?
40821Why do they put a Boche in my place and order me to look after repairs on the ocean tug?
40821Why not get my prisoners aboard it and be sure?
40821Why should I be sorry for myself?
40821Why their visit to his warehouse?--and why their cannon and rifles, and other paraphernalia?
40821Why were they mounting cannon and taking on rifles if their object was lawful and peaceful?
40821Will you tell me something?"
40821Will you-- have you time for me to tell you?"
40821You are about thirty now?"
40821You can bring''em, ca n''t you?"
40821You have just told me you still hate, fiercely hate, this man Ramund?"
40821You know how much more chesty and louder a rooster crows when he is in his own barnyard and among his own hens?"
40821You were not uneasy, Daddy?"
45474''What do you mean, sample right?'' 45474 And is señor, the dynamiter, ready to perform his service to the cause of liberty?"
45474And the money?
45474And the señorita?
45474And you samplers,Gard was saying,"where can I meet you when another Saturday night comes?"
45474And you, Tobin?
45474And you? 45474 Are you a member?"
45474Are you willing to pay the price?
45474Become absorbed in watching a bunch of thieves always at work? 45474 Boy,"said the weigher, after the fourth drink,"have you got a family?"
45474But does everybody on the dock take wet samples?
45474But how shall we know of your whereabouts?
45474But if the messenger were an impossibility, would I write?
45474But is there not a pretty good chance that the inspector may sometime look under the mattress?
45474But may I not come to- morrow?
45474But where are you going?
45474But where shall I report on my return?
45474But why all this fighting?
45474But,insisted the special agent,"is not your stuff examined again on the wharf?"
45474Can she go for us to San Antonio?
45474Can you give me a note to the secretary?
45474Could n''t you change your peacock raiment for a hand- me- down without coming to Wheeling?
45474Could you tell where the man stood when he fired?
45474Delivered in thirty days-- Brooklyn-- how can you get clearance papers?
45474Did he ever threaten you?
45474Did you ever know that to be done?
45474Did you find any of the gun wadding?
45474Did you measure the tracks?
45474Do n''t we save them enough money in the way we take the samples?
45474Do n''t you fellows get anything for it but a little off- season work?
45474Do n''t you suppose I read detective stories? 45474 Do you know anything about the opium business?"
45474Do you mind if I call her for a confirmation of your inquiry?
45474Flaherty,said the special agent,"would you like to take a bit of a trip to Royerton over Sunday and see your folks, with all expenses paid?"
45474Has she received any callers?
45474Have you found anything?
45474Have you found me out so soon?
45474Have you got an informer among them?
45474How about it, Cunningham?
45474How is that?
45474How long have you been a fan?
45474How long have you been on this investigation?
45474How much can you pay?
45474If I were in this lad''s place,the detective again queried introspectively,"what would make me write home?"
45474Is he friendly to you?
45474Is there any news from General Herrera?
45474May I ask,said Gard,"if you think table linens of good quality could be procured from Ireland within six weeks?
45474May I ask,said the broker,"if you will give me the name of the young man whom you have commissioned to buy linens for you?"
45474Were I hiding under such conditions whom would I use as a messenger?
45474Were they intact when you were at the bank this morning?
45474What are they after you for, young feller?
45474What are you doing on the customs cases?
45474What have you got there?
45474What if I am?
45474What is in the air?
45474What sort of a man?
45474Where did the big gray- haired man get off?
45474Where did you learn it all?
45474Where''s he goin''?
45474Who is Homer Kester?
45474Who is the one military leader that Madero can trust?
45474Who is your sister?
45474Whom do you suspect?
45474Whom have they got?
45474Why do this?
45474Why not lay the whole thing before the right authority and do a worth- while piece of work in cleaning up the service?
45474Will you do me a favor?
45474Will you go up with me immediately?
45474Will you show me just how you were sitting when you were shot?
45474Would I eat a Dago''s apples when I was hungry?
45474Would you put up the price of a schooner and a cargo of opium if you were shown that my scheme would work?
45474You are President Van Dorn of the association, I believe?
45474You are not in the market for linens at all? 45474 You have authorized no one to buy for you?"
45474Yuh do n''t mean yuh want somethin''to eat, do yuh?
45474Are you with us?"
45474Could the special agent find a way to accompany her?
45474Did you ever try to shoot the head off of a chicken as it walked across the yard?
45474Do you follow me?"
45474Do you know such a place?"
45474Do you not think, gentlemen, that I have earned this brief vacation?"
45474Egeloff?"
45474He meditated a moment and then asked:"Who is there around here who has a sawed- off shotgun?"
45474How could he be shown profits in opium?
45474How could this be done?
45474If this were admitted what was to be done?
45474It is Mr. Gard, is n''t it?
45474May I present you with your hat?
45474May I stay and see?"
45474Maybe you are a secret service man, eh?"
45474Might the operator handle his messages?
45474One of these young men turned to the other and asked:"What is Gard doing now?
45474UNCLE SAM: DETECTIVE[ Illustration:"''WHAT HAVE YOU GOT THERE?''
45474Was it fixing prices?
45474Was there not, however, a shorter road to results?
45474Were not Sing Foo and Fun Ken the richest Chinamen in the Caribbean?
45474What action was taken in their case?
45474What are the orders?"
45474What became of him?
45474What do you propose to do about it?"
45474What was its value?"
45474What?
45474Why are you so curious?
45474Why did the samplers skim near the edge?
45474Why, then, should Alexander be nervous and, granting him that privilege, why should he fear its being noticed?
45474Will Mr. Gard be so good as to tell us whether or not we are a trust in restraint of trade?"
45474Wo n''t you take dinner with me there to- night?"
45474Would Flaherty come to see him?
45474Would Lunsford help the government in getting the facts that would bring the murderers of Tom Reynolds and the men who shot him to justice?
45474Would you like to spend your declining years in sitting idly by and watching your employer and benefactor robbed?"
45474XII PUTTING UP THE MASTER BLUFF Did you ever go among strangers and pretend to be a more important personage than you really are?
45474Yes?
45474Yet what excuse could the cashier offer himself for refusing these small drafts when he had honored the big ones?
45474You never saw it done, did you?
34035A gentleman at this hour of the morning?
34035A supper club?
34035A visitor?
34035About me?
34035About myself, or things generally?
34035About to- night?
34035Afraid of what?
34035After all,she asked,"what should I gain?
34035Aline, do you know it is only eleven o''clock?
34035All the same, you are rather an inconsiderate guest, are n''t you, to leave me here alone in this swamp?
34035Alone?
34035Am I invited?
34035And Louise is in it?
34035And Miss Sophy?
34035And again why?
34035And he consented?
34035And how''s the courting getting on?
34035And in the meantime, what do you suggest that we do?
34035And leave us here alone?
34035And now,she added, turning to John,"why have you come to London?
34035And now?
34035And she has been an actress, playing parts like the one I saw her in, for how long?
34035And the sequel to this?
34035And the stock?
34035And to John?
34035And what about John?
34035And what about it all?
34035And what are you going to do now?
34035And what are you willing to pay for the knowledge?
34035And what did you do last night?
34035And why the deuce should I do that?
34035And you believe she''s a good woman?
34035And you live here all the year round?
34035And you?
34035And you?
34035And you?
34035And you?
34035And your name, please?
34035Another charge?
34035Anything more?
34035Are n''t the wings sufficiently burned yet?
34035Are n''t you on your way to the castle?
34035Are n''t you well?
34035Are we nearly there?
34035Are you going in there, sir?
34035Are you going to send him back?
34035Are you going to tell me that it is the truth?
34035Are you mad, John?
34035Are you not forgetting that the Prince of Seyre is a friend of mine?
34035Are you paying your nightly homage to Calavera, Mr. Strangewey, or are you only an occasional visitor?
34035Are you really in love with Louise?
34035Are you really so much disappointed?
34035Are you still in earnest about it?
34035Are you up for long?
34035As your stay with us is so nearly over, wo n''t you abandon your incognito?
34035At that time of night?
34035At the present moment, then, you are free from any distracting thoughts about women? 34035 Back again, John?"
34035Back again?
34035Because of that her grave is apart from the others?
34035But how do you manage?
34035But how do you pass your time? 34035 But is that really the truth?"
34035But tell me,Louise asked him,"did you lose your luggage?"
34035But these girls who are here to- night?
34035But what are you doing here, then?
34035But where is it, and what is it?
34035But why is she buried so far off, and all alone?
34035But why not?
34035But why not?
34035But would_ madame_ believe it?
34035But you do n''t believe that such a thing could be possible?
34035But you go to London sometimes?
34035But you visit London occasionally, surely?
34035But, forgive me, why not a more dignified form of entertainment for his first evening?
34035But, my dear friend,he begged,"you will not rob me altogether of this visit, to which I have looked forward so eagerly?
34035Ca n''t I drop you anywhere?
34035Ca n''t you understand that yourself?
34035Can I be brought in?
34035Can I join?
34035Charles,she asked,"what has happened?
34035Come, too?
34035Comfortable? 34035 Could n''t it be undone?"
34035Could n''t we send a message-- persuade him that the last act is n''t worth staying for?
34035Dare? 34035 Dear master, are n''t we just a little-- do you-- melodramatic?
34035Did he ask after me?
34035Did n''t some old Roman once write something about being afraid of Greeks who brought gifts?
34035Did n''t you always know that I should?
34035Did n''t you say that I was to come and fetch you, and then we could go on to Miss Maurel''s together?
34035Did n''t you tell her that Louise and I are the only two women in London who have the entrà © e to your rooms?
34035Did the prince tell you all this?
34035Did you get a good knock?
34035Did you hear that Calavera is coming?
34035Did you know that that terrible man from the hills-- John Strangewey''s brother-- has been here this morning? 34035 Did you like it?"
34035Did you say anything?
34035Did you say that no one has been told yet-- no one at all?
34035Did you telephone to Louise to- day?
34035Disappointed? 34035 Do I weary you if I speak?"
34035Do n''t we all know that? 34035 Do n''t you need dairymaids, for instance?"
34035Do n''t you realize that your love for one woman should make you kind to all?
34035Do n''t you realize the increase of your power as a human being?
34035Do n''t you realize the larger possibilities of the life that is open to you? 34035 Do n''t you think,"he suggested,"that it would be rather a good opportunity to announce our engagement?"
34035Do we have to climb up that?
34035Do we? 34035 Do you doubt my power, now that I have promised to exercise it?"
34035Do you know that I grudge those three or four hours of your day?
34035Do you know what it is? 34035 Do you know what you are talking about?
34035Do you know,he went on, lowering his voice,"that I am just a little disappointed about today?"
34035Do you know,she pronounced severely,"for a young man of your age you are much too serious?
34035Do you like being here with me, Mr. John Strangewey?
34035Do you like him?
34035Do you live abroad?
34035Do you mean because I have inherited the money?
34035Do you mind?
34035Do you play at being lords paramount here over the souls and bodies of your serfs?
34035Do you really mean it? 34035 Do you see that, John?"
34035Do you suppose that Louise knows anything?
34035Do you think it would be of any use if we met him outside?
34035Do you think that you could possibly get down and advise us what to do? 34035 Does it amuse you to practise your profession before one so ignorant and so unappreciative as myself?
34035Does it?
34035Does the whole world know of it and speak as if it did not matter? 34035 Does the whole world, then, know of your infatuation?"
34035Doubts about what?
34035Exactly what do you mean?
34035Exactly why are you here, anyhow?
34035Expecting me?
34035Fed up with us, eh?
34035For the last time, Stephen,John said,"wo n''t you come to a music- hall with us?"
34035Give me an ice and a cigarette, will you, please? 34035 Give me ten minutes, will you?
34035Go?
34035Had a good time?
34035Has anything happened?
34035Has she ever told you so?
34035Has she told you so?
34035Have I?
34035Have n''t I told you? 34035 Have n''t you?"
34035Have they gone?
34035Have you come to take me for a ride before lunch?
34035Have you committed yourself already, then? 34035 Have you cut your hand?"
34035Have you my breakfast there? 34035 Have you told any of your friends yet, Louise-- the prince, for instance?"
34035He did not mention the names of any of his other guests, I suppose?
34035He is by way of being a friend of the young woman herself, is n''t he?
34035He is one of your friends now?
34035He is then, what you call a prig?
34035He told you that?
34035He will do as I bid him-- do you hear? 34035 How can you talk about being careful?"
34035How could I be angry?
34035How dare you transform yourself into a tailor''s dummy in this fashion?
34035How did I come here?
34035How did you know that I pulled up?
34035How different?
34035How does one get there?
34035How is your angel brother?
34035How much am I what?
34035How much are you in love with Louise?
34035How shall I begin?
34035How should I know? 34035 I am a terrible hostess, am I not?"
34035I could not help breaking down here, could I?
34035I explained, did n''t I, that I had an engagement this evening?
34035I know it reminds me of something, but of what?
34035I may, may n''t I?
34035I say, Sophy, what''s wrong?
34035I say, is Lady Hilda there?
34035I think,she said,"you had better ask Louise that question yourself, do n''t you?"
34035I wonder,she murmured,"whether I am going to be asked out to supper?"
34035If Louise goes to Paris,she whispered disconsolately,"I suppose there will be no luncheon- party?"
34035If you would really prefer it?
34035In what way is any man to be saved from me? 34035 Instead of scolding me, child,"she yawned,"suppose you suggest something?"
34035Invitation? 34035 Is Louise going to remain upon the stage?"
34035Is anything the matter?
34035Is he really so good, I wonder?
34035Is it the home of the fairies you are taking me to?
34035Is it the prince who has induced you to break out of your seclusion?
34035Is it true that Calavera was there?
34035Is n''t Louise going to Paris?
34035Is n''t it delightful? 34035 Is n''t it quite a natural question from a jealous man who believes that every one who sees you must be in love with you?
34035Is n''t this rather nice?
34035Is that all you have to tell us? 34035 Is that not so, Stephen?"
34035Is that quite fair?
34035Is that you, brother?
34035Is that your father?
34035Is the necessity so urgent?
34035Is the prince dead?
34035Is there anything further to- night, madam?
34035Is there nothing I can be to you, then, Edmund?
34035Is there nothing we can do?
34035Is this a restaurant?
34035Is this fair?
34035Is this, may I ask, the play that you are soon going to produce?
34035Is your father not here?
34035It is a woman, is n''t it?
34035It is n''t real, is it?
34035It is permitted that one smokes?
34035It is to be presumed,he murmured,"that you ladies are both free from any present attachment?"
34035It is true? 34035 It''s not corked or anything, sir?"
34035John,he asked,"is it this cursed money that is making you restless?"
34035John,he asked,"why did you pull up on the road there?"
34035John,she whispered,"you must tell me-- do you hear?
34035Let me introduce my brother, may I? 34035 Look here, Stephen,"he begged, a little wistfully,"it is n''t any use talking like that, is it?
34035Louise Maurel, the actress?
34035Louise has not told him?
34035Louise,she pleaded,"you will lend him to me sometimes, wo n''t you?
34035Louise? 34035 Love him?"
34035Love you?
34035May I drive you home alone?
34035May I have some-- and some ham? 34035 May I not know the name of the lady?"
34035May I tell her?
34035Meester Jennings, will you please come and help me with the luggage?
34035Morally as well as sartorially?
34035Mr. Stephen,he cried,"what''s coming to us?
34035Mr. Strangewey,she began,"you wo n''t mind if I give you just a little word of advice?
34035Mr. Strangewey,she begged earnestly,"you wo n''t believe a word she says, will you?
34035Must you see him?
34035My dear man, why should I mind?
34035My dear man,she exclaimed,"what makes you live in a hotel?
34035Need you weary our guest with your peculiar views? 34035 No clothes?"
34035Nothing else?
34035Nothing, I trust,he went on,"has happened to disturb you?"
34035Now what about my week- end on the river?
34035Oh, why did n''t you come before?
34035Once or twice I have wondered,he went on,"whether you have ever cared in any sort of way, or come near to caring, for the Prince of Seyre?"
34035Or are you one of those tedious people who are faithful forever? 34035 Or did n''t I tell you?
34035Or would you like me to dance here? 34035 Paris?
34035Perhaps not before,she murmured;"but now?"
34035Perhaps she did n''t tell you that I paid her a visit?
34035Pictures, eh?
34035Quite a success in town, is n''t he?
34035Saving him from me?
34035Shall I come to the theater?
34035Shall I telephone to London for a chaperon?
34035Shall I tell them to send her up?
34035Shall we achieve a purely artistic triumph and drive the people away? 34035 Shall you mind that?"
34035She is keeping you dangling at her heels, and giving you no sort of answer?
34035She is n''t coming, then?
34035So that''s one of your evenings, is it?
34035So the poison''s still there, brother?
34035So there is a woman, is there?
34035So you are going up this evening?
34035So you are waiting?
34035So you have deserted Cumberland for a time?
34035So you want to buy me off?
34035Sophy,he asked, sitting down by her side,"tell me, why have the prince and Louise always been such great friends?"
34035Sophy,he exclaimed,"what is the matter?
34035Still playing the moth, my young friend?
34035Still, if there is anything you would like to know--"Who were these men and women who have lived and died here?
34035Supposing I wo n''t go?
34035Supposing-- I keep you here instead, Sophy?
34035Take the mare back for me to Peak Hall, will you, Jenkins, or send one of your lads?
34035Tell me what you have decided to do, Louise?
34035Tell me, Mr. Strangewey,she inquired,"where are your farm- buildings?"
34035Tell me, have you seen Charles?
34035Tell me, what did Lady Hilda say to that?
34035Tell me,he begged, as he looked around him,"who are these girls?
34035Tell me,she asked him,"have none of your people who went out into the world done well for themselves?"
34035Tell me,she demanded impetuously,"is this a little corner of fairy- land that you have found?
34035That all sounds very nice,he admitted,"but supposing that I have no taste in any of the directions you have mentioned?
34035That all?
34035That seems impossible to you?
34035The Carlton or Rumpelmayer''s?
34035The matter? 34035 The play?"
34035The prince has been showing you round a bit, has n''t he?
34035The prince was there?
34035The prince''s supper parties are just a little-- shall I say banal? 34035 Theaters?"
34035Then I am not likely to refuse, am I?
34035Then what''s wrong with you?
34035Then what? 34035 Then why do n''t you end it?"
34035Then why do n''t you go and see about it, you old fool?
34035Then why do you stay?
34035Then you have n''t asked her?
34035Then you heard the news?
34035There is no hope of any immediate repair, then?
34035There''s nothing wrong with the wine, I hope, sir?
34035Things were quiet at Market Ketton to- day, then, John?
34035To buy your brother''s freedom?
34035To discover something?
34035To- morrow afternoon, I think you said?
34035Too what?
34035Trouble already, eh? 34035 Understand what?"
34035Warn him?
34035Was he one of the wanderers?
34035Was n''t your week- end party a success?
34035Was that all that passed between you?
34035Was there ever such a man in the world?
34035We are having quite a solitude_ Ã   deux_, are n''t we?
34035Well?
34035Well?
34035Well?
34035Well?
34035Well?
34035Well?
34035Well?
34035Well?
34035Well?
34035Well?
34035Well?
34035Well?
34035Were you thinking about that woman?
34035What about Billy?
34035What about amusements?
34035What about it?
34035What about my clothes?
34035What about my reputation?
34035What about that toast?
34035What about the play Miss Maurel is acting in now? 34035 What am I going to do about him?"
34035What answer did you give him?
34035What are you doing here?
34035What are you going to do about Mr. Strangewey, Louise?
34035What are you going to do?
34035What can I say? 34035 What can you do?"
34035What concern is it of mine if you and Sophy care to amuse each other? 34035 What did Lady Hilda say exactly?"
34035What did he want?
34035What did that terrible brother of yours say?
34035What did your brother say to that?
34035What difference does my money make?
34035What do you mean?
34035What do you mean?
34035What do you think of it so far?
34035What do you think of me, really? 34035 What does it matter?"
34035What does that matter? 34035 What does that mean?"
34035What exactly do you mean?
34035What for, you silly person?
34035What happened, then? 34035 What have we to fear, you foolish girl?
34035What in the world do you mean?
34035What is going on behind my back?
34035What is it that comes?
34035What is it?
34035What is there to suggest?
34035What is this reception?
34035What is your interest? 34035 What makes you so unlike other people, you man of granite?
34035What on earth are you talking about? 34035 What on earth can have become of your brother?"
34035What on earth is that?
34035What things?
34035What time is the next train north to Kendal or Carlisle?
34035What was it, John?
34035What weakness?
34035What were you doing last night, for instance?
34035What woman?
34035What''s the harm? 34035 What''s the real attraction?"
34035What''s the use of it?
34035What, here in your rooms?
34035When can I?
34035When shall I see you again?
34035When shall I see you again?
34035Where are you going?
34035Where are you hanging out?
34035Where did you find anything so wonderful as this?
34035Where do you come in? 34035 Where have you been all these weeks, and why have n''t you been to see me?"
34035Where is the prince?
34035Where shall I put you down?
34035Where''s Miss Sophy this evening?
34035Which way is the sitting room, please? 34035 Which way?"
34035Who could help it?
34035Who could?
34035Who gave you the right to call him by his Christian name?
34035Who is it?
34035Who is talking platitudes?
34035Who is that?
34035Who is the woman?
34035Who is your escort this evening?
34035Who takes you to see the pictures?
34035Who was it?
34035Whose grave is that?
34035Why are you so foolish?
34035Why are you so melodramatic?
34035Why are you sorry?
34035Why ca n''t they keep away? 34035 Why did n''t you say so at once?"
34035Why did n''t you tell me about it?
34035Why do you ask?
34035Why do you not come and speak to me? 34035 Why do you not insist that this lady should tell you the truth?"
34035Why do you tell me all this?
34035Why do you waste your breath?
34035Why need we wait any longer?
34035Why not? 34035 Why not?"
34035Why not?
34035Why not?
34035Why not?
34035Why not?
34035Why not?
34035Why should I do anything at all?
34035Why should I?
34035Why should n''t I, just to punish you?
34035Why, little girl,she exclaimed,"how long have you been here?"
34035Why?
34035Why?
34035Will it be disagreeable to you if my brother smokes a pipe?
34035Will she bring you children, that woman?
34035Will you be good enough to explain those words?
34035Will you come back and call for us here-- say at seven o''clock? 34035 Will you come this way, please?"
34035Will you dine with me to- night?
34035Will you promise me something?
34035Will you sit beside me? 34035 Will you tell me, please, what is the matter with you, and why you placed that sprig of apple- blossom where you did?"
34035Wish me luck, wo n''t you? 34035 Wo n''t the play be produced to- morrow night, then?"
34035Would you have recognized me, seeing me as you do now?
34035Would your brother,she added, with a little grimace,"feel that he had given me a night''s lodging under false pretense?"
34035Yes, I know I did,he admitted,"and now I do n''t want to any more, do you see?
34035Yes, where are you?
34035You are displeased because I have changed my mind about that little journey of ours?
34035You are going now?
34035You are going to take me home, are you not?
34035You are going to the supper, of course?
34035You are in my sanctum, are you not? 34035 You are leaving?"
34035You are making a long stay?
34035You are n''t letting your thoughts dwell upon that woman?
34035You are not both woman- haters, I hope?
34035You are not going?
34035You are sure, John?
34035You are thinking, perhaps, that I risk my reputation in coming to a young man''s rooms? 34035 You asked him that?"
34035You believe that it is possible?
34035You brought me here to tell me this?
34035You dare to say this to me, here in my own house?
34035You dined at the ordinary in Market Ketton?
34035You do n''t mind?
34035You do n''t think Louise ever thought of caring for him, do you?
34035You find yourself something more of a citizen of the world, eh?
34035You had to bring me out to a hilltop, on the dreariest hour of a wet March afternoon, to tell me-- what?
34035You have been abroad, perhaps?
34035You have come to find out, to understand-- is that not so?
34035You have known him for long?
34035You have loved?
34035You have not told the prince?
34035You have seen Louise?
34035You have slept well?
34035You knew that I was going out to supper to- night?
34035You mean about Louise?
34035You mean that you can not now, or that you can not at any time?
34035You mind what I called her once, John-- a witch- woman? 34035 You paid her a visit?"
34035You really have thought of me, then?
34035You see much of Miss Maurel?
34035You think that I am narrow, too old- fashioned in my views? 34035 You understood the story?"
34035You want me really? 34035 You want to know why I have found my way to London?"
34035You were pleased with the performance, I hope?
34035You will be alone, sir?
34035You will be in town then?
34035You will be there to- night?
34035You will surely lunch first-- and you, prince?
34035You will wish me good luck?
34035You wo n''t believe that all my friends are as frivolous as this, will you?
34035You would like to say, would n''t you,she went on,"that your brother''s is a useful and an upright life?
34035You would n''t care to tell me, I suppose,he asked,"what is the new situation in life which you say I have created?"
34035You''ll come, of course, Stephen?
34035You''re Strangewey, are n''t you?
34035You''re content, then, to let the woman you want to make your wife show herself on the stage and play the wanton for folks to grin at?
34035You''re making me homesick, but what''s the sense of it? 34035 You''re not engaged to be married, you have no ties, you came up here perfectly free, you have n''t even said anything yet-- to Louise?"
34035You''re not sending me away, then? 34035 You''re taking''em in, sir-- taking''em into the house?"
34035You, too?
34035You?
34035Your health, I suppose, your simple life, your love of the pure ways-- all these are to go into the melting- pot?
34035Your hills have taught you just that much of life, then?
34035Your interest in your fellow creatures,she murmured demurely,"is wonderful, but could n''t you concentrate it just a little?"
3403521 Pont Street without your Mephistophelian chaperon?"
34035A matter of urgent business, perhaps?"
34035After I have taken the trouble to give a luncheon party for you?"
34035Am I pretty?
34035Amuse yourself, wo n''t you?
34035An educator of the young?
34035And besides--""Besides?"
34035And my dancing-- that pleased you?"
34035And now, why your dislike of my profession?"
34035And what are you doing in the wilderness?"
34035And what time is it?"
34035And yet--""And yet what?"
34035And you see, higher up, that wood where the trees stand so far apart?
34035And-- most important of all-- in what spirit have you come?"
34035Any chance of a taxi about here?"
34035Are n''t you going to congratulate me?"
34035Are n''t you sometimes afraid that he will hear things and misunderstand?"
34035Are there no compelling obligations with which one is born?
34035Are we really stranded here?"
34035Are you content just to live and flourish and die?
34035Are you going to let me feel that I have found a friend on my first evening in London?"
34035Are you going to marry Louise Maurel?"
34035Are you in love with John yourself?"
34035Are you in love with him?"
34035Are you intelligent?
34035Are you quite sure that you have n''t made up your mind about this woman in a hurry?"
34035Are you the John Strangewey who has recently had a fortune left to him?"
34035Are you, too, of his way of thinking?"
34035At least, then, you will permit me to drive you to Kendal?
34035At what time?"
34035Besides, what are banks for but to oblige their clients?
34035Bless me, what''s that?"
34035But perhaps you are tired?"
34035But that is all foolishness, is n''t it?
34035But what right have you to class her among them?
34035But you yourself?"
34035But your surname?"
34035Ca n''t you come and sit with me?"
34035Ca n''t you feel, do n''t you know, that nothing else in life can matter?"
34035Ca n''t you say so?"
34035Can I not do anything to make you enjoy yourself more?
34035Can you guess what she dared to suggest?"
34035Can you help?"
34035Could I come to you with a man''s blood upon my hands if I did n''t?
34035Could I suffer the tortures of the damned if I did n''t?
34035Could n''t you say them?
34035Did n''t I take my box two months ago?"
34035Did she really justify her reputation for beauty, or was she just a cult, the passing craze of a world a little weary of the ordinary standards?
34035Did you not feel it?"
34035Did you take Louise home?"
34035Do I not best know the words and the phrases which will carry the messages of my play across the footlights?
34035Do I seem like a person to be easily got rid of?
34035Do n''t I know it?
34035Do n''t people tell you the truth here in London, then?"
34035Do n''t you feel that sometimes?"
34035Do n''t you really understand, even now?
34035Do n''t you remember what I told you the first night we met after the opera-- that it is well to wait?"
34035Do n''t you sometimes feel it in your very heart that life, as we were meant to live it, can only be lived among your fellow men?"
34035Do you know that I am going to dance here?
34035Do you know that if I consented to think of your brother as my husband, there is not a man in London who would not envy him?
34035Do you know that loves reaches to the heavens, and can also touch the nethermost depths of hell?
34035Do you know the reason?
34035Do you know what I call them, John?
34035Do you know, John, that I am nearly thirty?"
34035Do you like to have me here at the table with you, or is your mind too full of Louise?
34035Do you live up to them?"
34035Do you mind if we go?"
34035Do you never feel cramped-- in your mind, I mean?--feel that you want to push your way through the clouds into some other life?"
34035Do you notice that I''ve a pretty frock on, and my hair is nicely arranged?
34035Do you really mean that you produce nearly everything yourselves?
34035Do you see that the waiter has brought you the bill, Mr. Strangewey?
34035Do you think that I could live with you up there in the hills?"
34035Do you think, Aline, that you ever saw any one so superbly handsome?"
34035Do you want to know who the people in the audience are?"
34035Does the earth always smell as sweetly, and are your trees always in blossom?
34035Does the sun always shine like this?
34035Does this all sound a little impertinent?"
34035Does your wind always taste as if God had breathed the elixir of life into it?"
34035Drive me to the theater, will you?
34035For the rest, what is there that you can say against her?
34035Had she feared it?
34035Has it never occurred to you that you may be too late?"
34035Has n''t Louise been kind to you?"
34035Has n''t he come into a pile just lately?"
34035Have I ever known any one with such a name, Aline?"
34035Have they finished the barley- fields, Stephen?"
34035Have you ever known the truth, I wonder?"
34035Have you had any lunch?"
34035How can his presence here be of any serious import to Eugène?"
34035How could I marry you?
34035How could he have forgotten, even for a moment?
34035How long are you going to stay?
34035How many of them live by really creative and honorable work?
34035How many will you give me in a hundred?"
34035How old are you, may I ask?"
34035How old is she?"
34035How would he return?
34035How''s the land doing?"
34035I am beautiful, am I not?
34035I am sure you are honest, I am sure you believe what you say, but will you remember what I am going to tell you?
34035I am to come?
34035I ask you, now, is this the place to wander off into the clouds?
34035I ca n''t say more than that, can I?"
34035I can not marry you just because-- because--""Because what?"
34035I suppose you did tell her?"
34035I''m still here, am I not?"
34035If his own artists wo n''t behave in the theater, what can he expect of the audience?"
34035If you must have a sweetheart, why do n''t you take the little fair- haired girl-- Sophy, you called her?
34035In the meantime, I may be your friend, may I not?
34035Is anything the matter?"
34035Is he as tall as you, and is he younger or older?"
34035Is it a bet, a whim, or-- enmity?"
34035Is it being given by the prince or by the management?"
34035Is it kind of the prince, I wonder, to try and seal your fate so soon?"
34035Is it true that the woman is Louise Maurel?"
34035Is it, I wonder, upon the surface only, or have you indeed become heart and soul a son of this corrupt city?"
34035Is n''t that the great thing, after all?"
34035Is one creed made to fit human beings who may differ in a million different ways?
34035Is she really so wonderful close to?"
34035Is that literally true?"
34035Is there a village near, or an inn, or even a barn?
34035Is there anything between the prince and Louise?"
34035Is there anything that you lack-- anything which your own success and your lover, or lovers, have failed to provide for you?"
34035It is true, then?"
34035It is you I want-- don''t you understand that?
34035It is, after all, rather like the lioness and the mouse, is n''t it?"
34035John, you are sure about yourself, are n''t you?"
34035John,"she went on, after a moment''s pause,"you are coming to- morrow night, I suppose?"
34035Let me drink yours, may I?"
34035Like to be introduced to some of the girls, or shall we go and have a drink?"
34035Louise, do you know that he is good-- really good?"
34035Louise, under its cover, devoted her attention to her guest,"First of all,"she asked,"tell me how you like my little friend?"
34035May I beg that you will select the most convenient to yourself?
34035May I not let myself out?"
34035May I wish you a pleasant evening?"
34035May I?"
34035Miss Maurel, will you make your entrance?"
34035Now what is the other cause for depression?"
34035Or shall we have to spend the night in the car?"
34035Or, again, was it only her art that had focused the admiration of the world upon her?
34035Promise me, will you, that when you feel the impulse you wo n''t use all that obstinate will- power of yours to crush it?
34035Really,"he went on, with a smile,"I think we are quite safe, are n''t we?
34035Remember that, wo n''t you?"
34035Shall we go back to the reception rooms?
34035Shall we have our coffee up- stairs?"
34035Shall you take up our manners and our habits, Mr. Strangewey, as easily as you wear our clothes?"
34035She''s a man''s mistress in it, is n''t she, and glories in it?"
34035So you do not wish to accept those small privileges which a woman may offer when she chooses?"
34035Sophy, is it true?
34035Strangewey?"
34035Strangewey?"
34035Strangewey?"
34035Strangewey?"
34035Supposing I find all that I expect to find in life here on my own land, among my own hills?
34035Supposing my life here satisfies me?
34035Tell me what this tea- tray and the empty cups mean?"
34035Tell me, are you tired?"
34035Tell me, do you love me?"
34035Tell me, how far have you come to- day, and where did you hope to sleep to- night?"
34035Tell me, then, because I am curious-- tell me why you are so sure of what you say?"
34035Tell me, why you are so silent?
34035Tell me,"he asked, after a moment''s hesitation,"are you married or single?"
34035Tell me,_ madame_, why do you ask me these questions?"
34035That is only fair, is n''t it?"
34035The question is, are we to allow him to go down to Bourne End?
34035The weather is too hopeless, is n''t it?"
34035There is not a woman servant in the house, is there?"
34035There were parts of it you did not like, though, were n''t there?"
34035To whom comes the greater share of them-- the dweller in the city, or you in your primitive and patriarchal life?
34035Walk with me, wo n''t you?
34035Was it from wantonness, or do you love him?"
34035Was it possible that the same thought had been in her mind-- to spend the evening quietly in that little room?
34035Was she indeed a creature of flesh and blood, of the same world as the dull people among whom he lived?
34035Was she really lonely, he wondered?
34035Was she to find herself wrong and this man right?
34035Was she to submit, to accept from his hand the best gifts of life-- she who had looked for them in such very high, such very inaccessible places?
34035Was there never a time, when you were younger, when you were my age, when you felt differently toward women?"
34035We have n''t been out together for some time, have we?"
34035We have n''t made any plans yet, have we?
34035We''ve got along very well so far to- day, have n''t we?"
34035Well?"
34035Were you not late last night?"
34035What are you doing this for?"
34035What are you going to do?
34035What are you going to say when he asks you what you know he will ask you?"
34035What are you looking at?"
34035What aspect of it shall we attempt to show him?
34035What can I order for you?"
34035What could I say more?
34035What could any poor, weak, little creature like me say?
34035What do you do with yourself?"
34035What do you know of her?"
34035What do you mean by coming here alone at this time of night?
34035What do you say, Sophy?"
34035What do you think of it-- the women, for instance?"
34035What future could there be for him and for me together?
34035What had she to fear?
34035What has your brother done in life to render him worthy of the sacrifice I should make if I chose to give him my hand?
34035What is going to become of him?"
34035What shall I say to this mishap which has robbed me of so many hours of your visit?
34035What shall we do to bring ourselves into accord with it?
34035What then?"
34035Where are they all going?
34035Where shall we take him to, Sophy?
34035Which way are we going, and what are we going to see?
34035While I admire the splendid self- restraint evolved from your creed, it is partly temperamental, is n''t it?
34035Who I am, or where I am going-- well, what does that matter to anybody?
34035Who are to be your guests, prince?"
34035Who can it be?"
34035Who is to judge, ladies and gentlemen-- you or I?"
34035Who''s lunching with you?
34035Whose fault can that be, I ask, but the chauffeur''s?
34035Why are there princes any longer, I wonder?
34035Why are you nervous?
34035Why are you wandering about alone?
34035Why did she again remind him of what she had said that night?
34035Why do I say that, though?
34035Why do n''t you take rooms of your own and furnish them?
34035Why do you ask?"
34035Why do you judge those who come your way so harshly?"
34035Why do you think so much about other people?"
34035Why does n''t some one teach you the manners of civilized life?"
34035Why not?
34035Why should I be vandal enough to destroy it?
34035Why should I go out like a_ Don Quixote_ and search for vague adventures?"
34035Why should I not treat your brother in the same way?"
34035Why should he afflict her at this moment with his own secret?
34035Will it suit you to start in half an hour?"
34035Will that do?"
34035Will that make you happy?"
34035Will you come with me?"
34035Will you do me this great honor?"
34035Will you excuse me for one moment?"
34035Will you fetch me some, and bring it to me yourself?"
34035Will you help me?"
34035Will you motor down on Saturday evening and stay till Sunday night or Monday?"
34035Will you not come and be presented to our guests?"
34035Will you?
34035With the Prince of Seyre, eh?"
34035Wo n''t I do?"
34035Wo n''t you talk to me, please?"
34035Would they find out that they were entertaining an angel unawares?
34035Would you mind sending a note to Miss Maurel and asking her to have tea with you some other afternoon?"
34035Would you rather I did n''t?
34035XVII"Well?"
34035Yet what could he do?
34035You are not an artist-- no?
34035You are staying at a hotel?"
34035You are strong and brave, are n''t you, John?
34035You are too good to come down--""Am I too good for you, Sophy?"
34035You bring Sophy, will you, Eugène?
34035You did n''t quarrel with her?"
34035You do n''t seem to have a very comfortable life now, do you?"
34035You do not doubt the facts?"
34035You do not paint or write?"
34035You have n''t got a wife or anything up in Cumberland, have you?"
34035You have no entanglements?"
34035You have seen a great deal of the prince, have n''t you, in the last few years?
34035You saw the announcement of the wedding in the_ Morning Post_, maybe?"
34035You want a cocktail, of course, do n''t you?"
34035You will come, will you not?"
34035You will give it a chance?
34035You will help me just a little?"
34035You will let me see a great deal of you?
34035You wo n''t be sorry-- afterward?"
34035You wo n''t keep him altogether to yourself?
34035You wo n''t let it slip away, John?"
34035You wo n''t mind if we put him somewhere out of the way till we have finished, will you?"
34035You would not let any one take me away from you?"
34035You''re not acting this evening?"
34035Your honey and preserves and bread and butter, for instance-- are they all home- made?"
34035Your prospective alliance, then, shall I call it?"
34035she said apologetically, as she opened the door;"but what is there to be done?
42010''And do you go alone on these jobs?'' 42010 ''And have you a shop now?''
42010''And how do you do it?'' 42010 ''And if he asks me who I am, what shall I answer?''
42010''And if they object, what shall I reply?'' 42010 ''And the man who made the plates, do n''t you want to give him anything?''
42010''And these helpers, do they make much money?'' 42010 ''And what do you do to earn this money?
42010''And what is the price of initiation?'' 42010 ''And what is this society of yours called?''
42010''And what kind of ink is it necessary to buy?'' 42010 ''And when will you allow me to enter?''
42010''And where have they killed him?'' 42010 ''And who gave you the money for the fare?''
42010''And who has marked them?'' 42010 ''Are you Italian?''
42010''Are you a printer?'' 42010 ''But do n''t you want me to go first and find a house to live in?''
42010''But who are you?'' 42010 ''But why do n''t you let Calichio continue the work?''
42010''But,''put in Calichio,''is that farm a place that is at all likely to be suspected?'' 42010 ''But,''queried Riso,''what do you need the press for?''
42010''Did she ask where you are working?'' 42010 ''Did you understand English then?''
42010''Have you found the man to prepare the ink?'' 42010 ''Have you inquired in the bank downstairs?''
42010''Have you rented this farm?'' 42010 ''Have you worked while you have been in America?''
42010''Honestly?'' 42010 ''How about the fare?''
42010''How can you guarantee all this? 42010 ''How is it that a printer like you do n''t know how to mix inks?''
42010''How is that? 42010 ''How much did he give you?''
42010''How will I be admitted then?'' 42010 ''How?
42010''I know it,''replied Cecala,''but what are your suspicions about Don Antonio?'' 42010 ''In Italy?''
42010''In this weather?'' 42010 ''Is it a mutual aid society?''
42010''Is that how our plates were made?'' 42010 ''Is there any danger of my being assassinated after completing this work?''
42010''Nothing-- why?'' 42010 ''Perhaps he is that farmer whom I saw in Don Piddu''s( Morello''s) house last year?''
42010''Then it must be the Masons?'' 42010 ''Then it was successful?''
42010''Then perhaps you were the one who set the big fire in Mulberry Street where so many poor people were burned?'' 42010 ''Then you belong to some society which gives you money?''
42010''Then you wish that the lady come with me?'' 42010 ''What do you care for the society?''
42010''What do you do to live?'' 42010 ''What, the Masons?
42010''What?'' 42010 ''When are they to be printed?''
42010''When does he return?'' 42010 ''When?''
42010''Where are its headquarters?'' 42010 ''Where can I see this Giglio?''
42010''Where is the fare?'' 42010 ''Where to?''
42010''Where?'' 42010 ''Who are you?''
42010''Who cares to go to Two Hundred and Thirty- Ninth Street, in the Bronx, at this hour?'' 42010 ''Who is the owner?''
42010''Who is this Cecala?'' 42010 ''Who is this Cina?''
42010''Who was the hero? 42010 ''Why do n''t you come with me?''
42010''Why pay for all?'' 42010 ''Why should I go and not some one else?''
42010''Why, do n''t you know him?'' 42010 ''Why?''
42010''Why?'' 42010 ''Will I get what I want there?''
42010''You do not consider me sick?'' 42010 ''You have no money?
42010''You mean,''Cecala interrupted,''that you can work without fear of being disturbed?'' 42010 ''You want money?''
42010''You will christen me?'' 42010 After examining the work Lupo turned to Uncle Vincent and said:"''Uncle Vic-- guess what''s happened?''
42010Do we not go by rail?
42010Have I explained myself? 42010 Hearing all this I asked:"''Who is this Petrosino?''
42010Suddenly Cecala turned on me a whispered:''Don Antonio, what have you told your aunt?'' 42010 They were eating and drinking joyfully when Uncle Vincent turned to Lupo and said:"''What news are you bringing, Ignazio?''
42010''Have you money to pay me for returning your goods?
42010''If the money is not yet sold, who will you see to get paid?''
42010''So, if you do not know how to mix the ink the bills can not be printed?''
42010''Who will give it to you?
4201023 New Bowery?
42010A. Dr. Brancato?
42010About when was it she got this"Black- Hand"letter?
42010After a while Cecala turned to Caterina and inquired:''Mrs., have you any money with you?''
42010All the time you thought that you were under obligations to him?
42010And did you treat other relatives?
42010And he told him that you were willing to testify for that period?
42010And then, of whom are you afraid?
42010And what could be the motive for his crime?
42010And what explosive matter do you use to start a fire?''
42010And who would help me?
42010And why should I continue to work when no word had come to us from New York for more than two weeks?''
42010And you came down later?
42010Are Lima and Salima in this country now?
42010Are you alone?
42010Are you satisfied?''
42010At that time he lived on Chrystie Street?
42010But why does the honest Italian go back and sleep again when he knows that the same danger is imminent still?
42010But will you return to America?''
42010By whom?
42010CHAPTER II WHAT WAS THE MOTIVE FOR THE MURDER?
42010CHAPTER IX THE SOCIETY"''How could you manage in so many different places without knowing the language?''
42010Could he be hiding a weapon?
42010Did Dr. Brancato tell you he had not treated him?
42010Did Morello know anything about your going to see Commissioner Wood; did you tell him?
42010Did Morello marry this woman?
42010Did Terranova speak to Morello?
42010Did any of the crowd ever give you checks to present at the bank?
42010Did he ever say about what he was going to testify?
42010Did he tell you how you would fix it up-- he did not treat Morello?
42010Did he tell you the time and the period?
42010Did he tell you what you had to say?
42010Did not sign Nicholas?
42010Did they ever discuss the counterfeit operations with you in any way?
42010Did they threaten your mother?
42010Did you ever ask them for any?
42010Did you ever have any conversation with Mrs. Morello?
42010Did you ever treat any of the defendants besides Morello?
42010Did you go to your mother''s house?
42010Did you hear anything about the alibi that you were going to establish for Cecala?
42010Did you hear him?
42010Did you know that he was connected with the"Black- Handers"then?
42010Did you know that he was going to testify too?
42010Did you know that you were under his protection?
42010Did you not have a store up there?
42010Did you pay the$ 100?
42010Did you tell Morello before you went down?
42010Did you treat Cecala?
42010Did you treat them?
42010Do n''t you know who the woman was?
42010Do n''t you like it?''
42010Do you know Maria Capellano; she is no relation to you?
42010Do you know anything about them?
42010Do you know her?
42010Do you know the Terranova Brothers?
42010Do you take the objects that you find in the burned houses?''
42010Have you got that letter?
42010Have you heard from them since you have been indicted?
42010He is a friend of Morello''s?
42010He lived on Chrystie Street at that time?
42010He said that he would pay the money and that he would get it back from the Black- Handers?
42010He said that; did Terranova tell Morello you were going to testify?
42010He said,"How many times a week do you want to say that you saw him?"
42010He said:"What is your testimony to be?"
42010He then lived in East One Hundred and Seventh Street?
42010He was down in Towns''[6] office?
42010He was not sick in bed?
42010He was not treating Morello?
42010His name?
42010How did he sign the telegram?
42010How do I know that Petto, the Ox, murdered Benedetto?
42010How do you demonstrate crime?
42010How long have you known Bisconti?
42010How many kinds of blackmail are there?
42010How many weapons are there?
42010I have already been baptized in the Roman Catholic religion, and now you would baptize me again?''
42010I went down to the door without a light and asked:"''Who is it?''
42010Is he dead or alive?
42010Is he not there?''
42010Is she living?
42010Is that satisfactory?''
42010It was understood that you had to swear falsely?
42010On the quiet?
42010Q. Terranova was the one who had all the conversation?
42010She knew Morello how long previous to this?
42010She wrote and told you about it?
42010Since when have you acquired the Sgarro?
42010So, why worry?''
42010Sure you did n''t?
42010That is Nick Terranova?
42010That is the illegitimate child?
42010That means January and February?
42010The only lawyer you ever saw?
42010The only thing you know about them is that they made you come down here and testify?
42010The trained nurse who said she treated him?
42010Then again the thought would come to me-- why should you?
42010Then what did you say to Morello?
42010Then you did not treat Morello in 1909?
42010Then, again, how could I proceed against them without witnesses?
42010Time and again I planned to run away, but how?
42010To come in after you went to Rochester?
42010To- morrow night you will leave with Comito?''
42010Turning to Cecala, he said:"Do n''t we go to Philadelphia?"
42010Up to the time you left for Rochester?
42010WHAT WAS THE MOTIVE FOR THE MURDER?
42010Was Dr. Brancato there?
42010Was Morello born with that deformed hand?
42010Was Terranova there?
42010Was it a day or two before you came down?
42010Was this after or before the barrel murder?
42010Were you down in the lawyer''s office at all?
42010What conversation did you have with Ponticelli?
42010What could anybody in my position do under the circumstances?
42010What did Morello say when you told him that you had been down there?
42010What did he say to you?
42010What did he say?
42010What did they say?
42010What did you do down in Brancato''s office?
42010What did you know about Morello about that time?
42010What did you tell him?
42010What do you know about Inzarillo?
42010What do you know about the barrel murder?
42010What do you think of him?
42010What does a highly initiated blackmailer especially bear?
42010What does an experienced blackmailer bear?
42010What does the head of crime wear?
42010What for?
42010What good would it have done me to go to the police about it?
42010What happened after you got through testifying?
42010What has happened?"
42010What is enclosed in this hole?
42010What protection did you think that he could give you?
42010What two years?
42010What was Morello''s business after he gave up the grocery?
42010What was her name?
42010What was she called?
42010What was the interview you had with Commissioner Wood?
42010What was the origin?
42010What was the substance of the letter?
42010When did you come down again?
42010When did you first see Dr. Brancato?
42010When did you first see him?
42010When did you get the telegram?
42010When was that sent to you?
42010When was that?
42010When?
42010Where could I go for help?
42010Where did you have that conversation?
42010Where have you acquired the S?
42010Where have you drawn?
42010Where is Uncle Vincent?
42010Where would I go?
42010Whether I could tell him that these people were"Black- Handers"?
42010Which one of his brothers- in- law did you treat?
42010Who came to you and told you that you would have to testify?
42010Who got the money?
42010Who has formed the plan of S?
42010Who has written and whether any commission has decided to come?
42010Who is his brother- in- law?
42010Who received it?
42010Who was the woman?
42010Who would return it?
42010Who?
42010Who?
42010Who?
42010Who?
42010Whom did you see there?
42010Why abandon my wife, my parents, my relatives?
42010Why did you want to leave New York?
42010Why not?
42010Will you permit us to enter and see?''
42010With what is the hole covered?
42010You did not have any consultation with Dr. Brancato?
42010You fixed the whole thing up with the Terranova boys?
42010You have other men that work there?''
42010[ 2] Suppose we arrange to send Don Antonio?''
42010[ 5] And when did you have that interview?
34710''Both front and back?'' 34710 ''Is it so late?''
34710''Who can he be?'' 34710 A near nail or a remote one?"
34710Afraid of being seen drinking it or of throwing it out?
34710Again?
34710Ah, and did you come upon any article of clothing giving signs of having at any time come in contact with this pencil or this bottle?
34710Ah, and how came the glass to be back then on the dining- room mantel- shelf?
34710Alfred?
34710Alive?
34710Amounting to animosity?
34710And are you going there?
34710And be dragged up before a thousand people, all whispering and joggling to see me? 34710 And could n''t she be found?
34710And did he approve of the match?
34710And did you see any change in the manner of Mr. Gillespie towards his sons after this misunderstanding with Alfred?
34710And he took no more of this medicine after that especial night?
34710And how came you to be here?
34710And is this all you can tell us?
34710And left him in the enjoyment of his usual health?
34710And none of them, I judge, such as a man would write who expected to close all accounts with the world in less than an hour?
34710And saw Mr. Rosenthal in his room in the neighbouring extension?
34710And that there were initials on it which you had not been able to decipher?
34710And the glasses?
34710And this is our secret, is it not? 34710 And when did the child come down?"
34710And when your host returned, what did you do?
34710And where is that bottle of port and the glass out of which Mr. Gillespie drank at the table?
34710And with ten dollars in your pocket you come here for_ poison_?
34710And you do cling to him still?
34710And your cousin Alfred?
34710And_ that_ bottle has not been found?
34710Are there not others in this house? 34710 Are you sure?"
34710Are you trying to make out that father died from violence?
34710Are you two in league?
34710At what hour did Mr. Leighton Gillespie go out to- night?
34710At what hour?
34710Been buying oranges for the family?
34710Before half- past nine or after it?
34710Before or after your cousin Leighton came into the study?
34710Blank, do you say? 34710 But he talked of poisons, and refused to take any more of the medicine which came so near killing him?"
34710But you did see this vest hanging on one of the nails in the wardrobe?
34710But you do not think he will agree with me in my interpretation of this crime and Leighton''s connection with it?
34710Can not say whether or not he went towards his wardrobe?
34710Can not the child be found either?
34710Can you remember that language?
34710Claire will catch cold; had you not better come downstairs?
34710Claire, do you mean?
34710Claire? 34710 Claire?"
34710Claire?
34710Concern?
34710Did I ask you to call on me to- night?
34710Did I?
34710Did he drink too?
34710Did he say anything?
34710Did he speak to her?
34710Did he trust you with his business concerns?
34710Did she say so?
34710Did that sound natural?
34710Did you come here to ask that? 34710 Did you hear any remarks made on this change?"
34710Did you hear no sneaking step in the halls or adjacent dining- room?
34710Did you hear what your master said?
34710Did you know about the gas?
34710Did you know, or have you ever heard, the value of his estate?
34710Did you see your father or anyone else at that time?
34710Did you see your master at that time?
34710Did you succeed?
34710Did you take it out?
34710Did you use it for the writing of these five letters found upon his desk?
34710Did you watch them drive off?
34710Do n''t you remember the house I mean? 34710 Do women come?"
34710Do you care for Hope?
34710Do you know what time this was?
34710Do you mind telling me where this funeral took place?
34710Do you suppose there was anything in those pockets besides the match- box; anything, I mean, calculated to give away the wearer of that foul blouse?
34710Do you think his version of this affair reliable?
34710Do you think it can be advanced? 34710 Do you think so?"
34710Do you think their efforts are likely to be successful?
34710Do you want me to go in with you?
34710Does not the letter explain itself?
34710Does this dressing- room communicate with the hall or with any other room than the said Mr. Gillespie''s sleeping apartment?
34710Excuse me,said he,"but had we not better put back this typewriter on the shelf from which we took it?
34710For none of them?
34710For what, may I ask?
34710From this correspondence, then, as you know it, he showed no intention of suicide?
34710George, Alfred, and Leighton? 34710 Had wine been passed then, or any spirituous liquors?"
34710Have I not already asked myself these questions? 34710 Have another cigar?"
34710Have they been up to the fourth floor?
34710Have those circumstances been related to you?
34710Have we that piece of paper here?
34710Have you looked upon Leighton as a well man? 34710 He did not ask for his sons?"
34710He had before?
34710He? 34710 His?"
34710Hope does? 34710 How came the alarm to be spread?"
34710How came this woman-- pardon me, how came Mrs. Gillespie to die thus suddenly?
34710How did it strike you?
34710How did she come here?
34710How did the comedy strike you?
34710How do you do, Hewson?
34710How do you do, sir?
34710How do you know these particular vests to be the ones then worn?
34710How long a time elapsed after this catastrophe before you saw him?
34710How long was he in that room?
34710How many of these have you saved up?
34710How much money passed?
34710How now?
34710How small?
34710How''s that? 34710 How, depends?"
34710I''ll call her down; will that do?
34710I? 34710 I?"
34710If the younger brother had pressed his suit for your hand, do you think that under the circumstances your uncle would have sanctioned such rivalry?
34710In his usual manner?
34710In league?
34710Insanity?
34710Is Mrs. Gillespie living?
34710Is he the little girl''s father?
34710Is it along there you want to go?
34710Is it for your lawyer?
34710Is n''t there?
34710Is there a young man in the family?
34710Is there anything wrong? 34710 Is this news to you?"
34710Is this the article you refer to?
34710Is this the bottle you mean?
34710It has not been running for days; has it, Miss? 34710 It is the finish, then?"
34710It will be a full one, wo n''t it?
34710Know Louis Le Duc Gracieux? 34710 Leighton Gillespie, eh?
34710Leighton? 34710 Leighton?"
34710Let me see it, will you?
34710May I ask,said he,"if you are in a position to tell us to which of these young gentlemen these several vests belong?"
34710May I have a peep at them? 34710 Miss Meredith?"
34710Mr. Gillespie? 34710 New developments, eh?
34710No other way?
34710No; how should I? 34710 Not at the table?"
34710Not immediately?
34710Not like a man anxious to have you go?
34710Notwithstanding his low associates?
34710Now, Mr. Underhill, who was this man? 34710 Now, what am I to do with this?"
34710Now, which of those fellows was it who poured him out that wine?
34710O, what does this mean?
34710Oh, that? 34710 Oh, what shall I do here?"
34710Oh, yes, initials; but what can a fellow make out of initials?
34710On this topic? 34710 Or Miss Meredith?"
34710Or did you hear any door shut after you went up?
34710Or until after he had taken the sherry?
34710Or, perhaps, whether the door between you was closed or not?
34710Paper?
34710Shall I step outside?
34710Shall I take it out? 34710 So you were with him until half- past eight?"
34710Standing how? 34710 That was your duty, then?"
34710The child? 34710 The dead?
34710The dead?
34710Then it was pure chance which led you to be a witness of his final moments?
34710Then we are not going to Mother Merry''s?
34710Then you really think he does not know that the tools he is playing with have mighty sharp edges?
34710To him?
34710To- night?
34710Uncle, how came it to be lying by the side of your bed? 34710 Wait,"said I;"have I fully made clear to you Miss Meredith''s position?"
34710Was Mr. Gillespie in the habit of sharing his wine with those who sat at his board, that you feel the pathos of that lonely glass so keenly?
34710Was it a big parcel or a little?
34710Was it in Mr. Gillespie''s study you found this?
34710Was the house quiet?
34710Was the room light or dark? 34710 Was there an empty phial or a piece of paper lying about on the study- table or on the floor when you went in?"
34710Was this before he took the glass of wine you have just told us he asked for?
34710Was your cousin Leighton''s door open?
34710Were you able to settle in your own mind the question just now raised between us at your office?
34710Were you in the habit of preparing his glass when alone or in the presence of his sons?
34710What are these for?
34710What are these?
34710What became of the phial which held the remainder of this medicine marked''Poison''?
34710What can you do? 34710 What damned villain says there is anything the matter with it?"
34710What did he come for?
34710What did he do at the fire? 34710 What did you do while he was downstairs?"
34710What do you call that girl?
34710What do you make out of that?
34710What do you mean?
34710What do you want?
34710What evidences do you allude to?
34710What has happened to it? 34710 What has happened?
34710What is going on here?
34710What is that?
34710What is that?
34710What is the name of those people who live in the first house west from Fifth Avenue on Fifty-----Street?
34710What is the use of repeating a phrase you can not back up with proof?
34710What kind of paper?
34710What news?
34710What pocket?
34710What shall I do with this?
34710What the dickens brings you here at this unearthly hour?
34710What was the trouble? 34710 What''s amiss?"
34710What''s the matter, George? 34710 What''s up?"
34710What, then, is your special desire?
34710When I wipe the glasses? 34710 When did you go upstairs?"
34710When was this wound last?
34710Where have you come from?
34710Where is he?
34710Where is the little girl?
34710Where were you sitting when George Gillespie left you to go downstairs for wine?
34710Where were you?
34710Whether he showed his present peculiarities prior to the death of his wife? 34710 Which of you was the witness of Mr. Gillespie''s death?"
34710Which you also brought him?
34710Which?
34710Who are you?
34710Who is it?
34710Who is your grandpa?
34710Who was up at the same time you were last night? 34710 Whose?"
34710Why ca n''t he be moved?
34710Why choose so cold a place?
34710Why did you leave? 34710 Why do you ask so many questions, uncle, and in so hard a voice?
34710Why do you speak of the fireplace?
34710Why do you think this has anything to do with the serious matter you mention?
34710Why one true heart?
34710Why, what''s this?
34710Why?
34710Will his story contain any reference to Miss Meredith?
34710Will that be the plea?
34710Will you not come below?
34710Yes, or why should you have described it as minutely as you did the other night?
34710Yes, yes; then you have to wear spectacles?
34710Yet there was a manifested distrust between them?
34710Yet why should I keep it from you? 34710 Yet you failed to engage yourself?"
34710You and your friends drank of it?
34710You are right there, but what can you do to better the situation? 34710 You are the person who was called into the house by Mr. Gillespie''s grandchild?"
34710You did n''t watch him, then?
34710You gave it all to him,_ all_?
34710You glanced out as you did that?
34710You have not said where the glass came from, from which Mr. Gillespie drank the sherry?
34710You never saw Miss Meredith speaking apart to either of these two men?
34710You think some of us took it?
34710You want an introduction to Israel Rosenthal?
34710You were all in a perfectly sober condition therefore?
34710You were called in from the street?
34710You were your uncle''s nurse, then, typewriter, and friend?
34710You will oblige us by waiting for the coroner?
34710''What am I to do with_ him_?''
34710A very suspicious fact, do n''t you think so?
34710Alfred?
34710All business letters, I presume?"
34710Alph?
34710And little Claire?
34710And now, sir, your business?
34710And why not this man?
34710And, sir,--you are a lawyer,--does it follow from any evidence we have since received that he even positively knew it was one of these three men?
34710Anything more about Mr. Gillespie''s death?
34710At that moment we heard the cry:"Where is Miss Meredith?
34710Bennett?"
34710But I forget the gale, and that sound-- what is it?"
34710But I had already decided to be frank in my explanations to the District Attorney, and why not with the man most in his confidence?
34710But how about that other fellow?''
34710But how account for such instincts, such murderous impulses in a man brought up as he has been?
34710But how am I to get onto the roof?"
34710But how?
34710But if I could not go there myself, whom was I to send?
34710But the confiding impulse was stayed-- by what thought?
34710But what meaning?
34710But which one?
34710But who was this person?
34710But why is it torn across in this manner?
34710Can not one of you assist me in saying how this came about?
34710Can you give me a point or two as to how I''m to get that extra hundred?"
34710Can you name it?
34710Can you supply them?"
34710Can you take it?"
34710Could I have him now?
34710Could I tell my father?
34710Could it be that my son was feeling about for this?
34710Could you see plainly where to lay your hand, or did you have to feel about for a glass?"
34710Dare I breathe it to you?
34710Did George fear to hear her say she was engaged to Alfred, and Alfred dread to hear her admit that she was irrevocably pledged to George?
34710Did I show you the match- box I found in one of the pockets of the coat he gave me?
34710Did I wrong the others in not uttering his name also?
34710Did he hasten down from the Springs, which seem to have been some miles away, or was he in the vicinity of the accident when it occurred?"
34710Did he show the inconsistencies you mention prior to the event you speak of?
34710Did he?
34710Did my duty exact a revelation of the facts which I had hitherto felt obliged to keep even from the deceased man''s sons?
34710Did my heart beat faster as this name, destined to play such a part in my future life, was sounded in my ears?
34710Did n''t you say something about a small parcel which this mysterious man took out of his pocket before handing over his blouse?"
34710Did she respond to the latter''s devotion, or was she still restrained by doubts of an innocence not yet entirely proved?
34710Did she say it or only look it?
34710Did she share that first alarm with you?"
34710Did she think she could be contented in a home like this?
34710Did you ever see his home, his child, his friends?"
34710Did you have a hand in writing it?"
34710Did you try to strengthen the dose?
34710Do I remember that the father suggested she should be put to bed undressed?
34710Do they call it suicide?
34710Do you consider this letter important?"
34710Do you know him?
34710Do you know if he is likely to return soon?"
34710Do you know the place?
34710Do you object to this arrangement?
34710Do you require me to relate it now and_ here_?"
34710Do you think it was he who wrote these lines?"
34710Do you think my father would be likely to leave you such a message?
34710Do you understand this, Miss Meredith?
34710Do you want to fall into their hands?''
34710Do you wonder this unexpected tenderness blinded me a little to faults which I had no reason then to think would ever develop into anything worse?"
34710Do you?"
34710Does Miss Meredith regard his eccentricities in this light?"
34710Does this shock you, Leighton, George, Alfred?
34710Father?"
34710Find a way of presenting me to him, will you?"
34710For anyone in the house?"
34710For its odour is unmistakable, and once it is found by the men I will set looking for it at daybreak-- Well, what now?"
34710For your wife?
34710From Dr. Bennett?
34710From hers?
34710From whom could he have heard this?
34710From whose lips had this expression of anguish sprung?
34710George and Alfred love you devotedly; and little Claire-- what child could show more fondness for a grandfather than she?"
34710George?
34710Gillespie?"
34710Gryce?"
34710Had God made two such women?
34710Had I made a great mistake?
34710Had Mr. Gillespie followed up his former confidences by any further allusions to the attempt which had been made upon his life?
34710Had he any special powers of mimicry, or, if I may speak plainly, had he what you might call marked facial expression?"
34710Had the dark and pungent liquor been harmless, and was it decreed that he was to go back to the old life with no hopes of a change or relief?
34710Had the exciting incidents of the day been too much for me?
34710Had the sound of steps reached him from the hall?
34710Had this shrewd and seemingly able detective expected a reply?
34710Had we not enough to face without having our hearts wrung with terror for you?"
34710Had you any acquaintance with Mr. Gillespie or his family before to- night?"
34710Has any new idea been suggested to you?"
34710Has anyone seen Miss Meredith?
34710Has he any business here?''
34710Has the thought struck you that my heart might be so too?"
34710Hastening to meet the old family physician, he said:"You have found the bottle or only the paper in which the bottle was wrapped?"
34710Have I not repeated them over and over in my own mind till their ceaseless repetition has well- nigh maddened me?
34710Have one, Yox; you wo n''t get a better in your shop; and now, what have you come to tell me?"
34710Have you any reason for expecting his last thoughts would be for you, rather than for his sons?
34710Have you ever seen it before?"
34710Have you ever thought, Sweetwater, that we have not given all the attention we should to the latter fact?"
34710Have you heard the current gossip concerning his marriage?"
34710Have you that match- box with you?"
34710He comes in quite regularly since you have been ill."Were her eyes quite true?
34710He depraved?
34710He was willing to be heard now, and was stepping briskly around the room, when Mr. Gillespie called out:"Who''s that?
34710He''s a handsome fellow; did you ever meet him?"
34710Her name, as told me, is Mother Merry; do you know any such person?"
34710His wife-- Did you ever see his wife?"
34710How came the Gillespies there, and why was she the sole sufferer?
34710How came you to be mixed up with the affair?
34710How could I avoid taking it without raising doubts as to my discovery of the trick which had been played so near me?
34710How could I?
34710How could a pocket be lost from a vest?"
34710How did my uncle die?
34710How did you like it?"
34710How had Mr. Leighton come by this?
34710How much do I owe you?
34710How much nearer were we to the solution of this mystery than we had been the morning following Mr. Gillespie''s death?
34710How open conversation without suggesting griefs I was burning to make her forget?
34710How, then, could I strengthen the evidence just obtained?
34710I hope you feel no concern as to your safety?"
34710I never thought of him as the guilty one, did you?"
34710I only felt impelled to ask:"Was her death attended with any unusual circumstance that you speak of his sorrow as a shock?"
34710I suggested; then, as he made no sign, I hastily added:"For your doctor?
34710I suppose you know her?"
34710I was not master of my own life; how, then, could I propose to be the master of another''s?
34710I wonder if she knows?"
34710If he is the base, the despicable wretch they say, where shall I seek for goodness, trustworthiness, and truth?"
34710If so, how much or how little had he seen of what went on there?
34710In return, will you inform me if you are engaged to marry any one of these young men?"
34710In whose possession would it be found?
34710Indeed, I know I am; but what can you expect from a girl upon whom the blessing of God has never rested?"
34710Is he always so respectful to the paupers he befriends?"
34710Is it Hewson?"
34710Is it any wonder that these twelve commonplace men keenly felt their position in face of what looked like a direct accusation from the father''s hand?
34710Is it possible that you had already met Miss Meredith?
34710Is it you, George?
34710Is not this true, Alfred?"
34710Is not this true, George?
34710Is that a sign it has been so delivered and read?"
34710Is this girl dead?"
34710Is your interest a friendly or a professional one?
34710It took her some minutes to grasp the fact; then she said:"And how many of these are for_ me_?"
34710Leighton, do you love this woman?''
34710Leighton?"
34710Leighton?"
34710May I ask if there is any special point or topic concerning which you would prefer to keep silence?
34710May I ask if you will be so good as to relate afresh and circumstantially your whole experience with Mr. Gillespie?
34710May I ask what special evidence you imagine yourselves to have against me?
34710May I be excused for my interest in yourself?
34710May I have a peep at_ her_?"
34710May I tell you why this was everything to me?
34710Might I not be as yet too much under the spell of her peculiar grace to rightly judge the nature underlying it?
34710Must I read it_ here_?"
34710No words, no words at all?
34710Now let me ask from what sheet your uncle tore this scrap of paper?
34710Now where are these two inches?
34710Now, could this grief have disturbed the even balance of his mind so as to make these abnormal developments possible?
34710Now, do you know the use of the''Shift key?''"
34710Now, what letter do you think he meant to write there and did not?"
34710Now, what was that something?
34710Now, will you assist me to choose the one out of these three most open to attack?"
34710Oh, why did you ever care for me?''
34710Or why are the lamps invariably lighted there at nightfall, the rooms kept warm, and the larder replenished?
34710Or why, if he knew which son he had cause to fear, did he not bid the child bring down one of the others?"
34710Or will one of you read it as it lies here?
34710Or would he fail to see in these results any symptoms of the strange mental malady alluded to by Hope?
34710Outhwaite?"
34710Penrhyn?"
34710Pursuing it, I said,"The letter I saw Mr. Gillespie read was from her, then?
34710Shall I tell you where I procured it?
34710She has-- But what use is there in my attempting to describe her?
34710Should I have a search made for it?
34710Should I proceed at once to the docks or should I play the fox''s game a little longer?
34710Should I see it tremble or hesitate in its short passage across the faintly illumined space upon which my eyes were fixed?
34710Sweetwater?"
34710Tell me, then, do you positively know Leighton to have done what you say?"
34710The child was with him then a quarter of an hour before his death?"
34710The girl----""Well, what of the girl?"
34710The house is full, I suppose?"
34710Then in reproachful tones:"Hope, why should you give us such a scare?
34710Then, before I could protest,"What is wanted of me now?
34710Then, separating the letters of the monogram, he wrote them out in a string, thus: L L D G"Leighton Gillespie?"
34710There is but a trace of paste on some of them; but it is thick on the_ e_, and thicker still on-- what key, sir?"
34710Two with such eyes, such hair, such instincts, and such genius?
34710Under these circumstances was it my duty to proceed with the task I had imposed upon myself?
34710Underhill?
34710Was I growing misanthropic?
34710Was Mr. Gillespie a good man?"
34710Was Mr. Gillespie a man of dramatic instincts?
34710Was Mr. Gillespie through with his work for the night?"
34710Was ever a girl more unfortunately situated?
34710Was he a monster of selfishness, or only another instance of a good man gone to the bad for the love of a worthless woman?
34710Was he not on the train with her?"
34710Was he warming himself?
34710Was her own brain turned by her terror, anxiety, and wonder?
34710Was his affair to fail again?
34710Was it any wonder it intoxicated me?
34710Was it for medicinal purposes like the other?
34710Was it the contrast between her genius and the conditions under which that genius had shown itself?
34710Was it the little girl he was concerned about?
34710Was my help needed when Mr. Gryce''s right- hand man was at work?
34710Was my imagination too active, or had her voice a choked sound which spoke of some latent emotion she strove to conceal?
34710Was n''t she at Mother Merry''s?"
34710Was she still the object of George''s attentions or-- worse still-- of Alfred''s passionate hopes?
34710Was she with her parents when this disastrous event occurred?"
34710Was that the situation?
34710Was the corner in which I sat darker than I thought, or had he been so full of his own affairs that he failed to recognise me?
34710Was the fascination he exerted over her so great that she could not weigh at their proper value characteristics so entirely evil?
34710Was the shaft meant for me?
34710Was there wood or coal in the grate?"
34710Was this a sister of Mille- fleurs; a twin of my lost darling, of whose existence I had never heard?
34710Was this honest judgment or sarcasm?
34710Was this why I, for the first time, saw him as he may have looked to her and probably did?
34710Well, what is it, sir?"
34710Were her feelings, then, as much of a mystery to them as they were to me?
34710Were not men dropping dead every day in counting- houses or in the streets?
34710Were they not on confidential terms?
34710Were you too interested in shuffling and dealing to notice why Mr. Gillespie went to his dressing- room?"
34710What are you holding it off for?
34710What basis had I for this dream?
34710What could I say?
34710What could it-- did it, mean?
34710What date have you been able to give to Yox''s adventure?
34710What did he want of it, and why was it left standing in this open way on his bureau?
34710What did this mean, and how could he now hope to carry out the scheme he was more than ever resolved upon?
34710What do you make out of it, Outhwaite?"
34710What does she know about the nice distinctions governing this peculiar condition?
34710What excuse had I for the self- confidence I had shown?
34710What had he seen or heard?
34710What has this woman had to do with your father''s death?"
34710What have you done with the blouse?"
34710What if I took the bull by the horns and openly requested the assistance of the police in my adventure?
34710What is the matter with it?
34710What kind of a person did he say she was?"
34710What man of my acquaintance was judicious enough to be entrusted with such a message?
34710What man would not have yielded?
34710What means were at my command which were not also at the command of the police?
34710What motive have we been able to find for the committal of this deed by any one of his sons?
34710What name among those you are accustomed to speak best fits it?"
34710What now?"
34710What possible interest can you have in them?
34710What was the question you asked me?"
34710What was the shape of this parcel?"
34710What''s on it?"
34710What''s the matter, Alph?"
34710Where are you, Hope?"
34710Where is Claire?"
34710Where shall I begin?
34710Where were my brothers?
34710Which one?
34710While this was going on I answered Mr. Rosenthal, with all the appearance of surprise he doubtless expected:"How''s that?
34710Who is Louis Gracieux?
34710Who is Miss Meredith?"
34710Who knows what goes on in the mind of a man conscious of having but one minute in which to perform the most important act of his life?"
34710Who sent you to me?"
34710Who was this someone, and what lay behind old Hewson''s agitated demeanour?
34710Who, then?
34710Whose?
34710Why could n''t you have left me with Claire?"
34710Why did I hear myself called and yet make no reply?
34710Why do you ask about it?"
34710Why do you ask, sir?"
34710Why do you ask?"
34710Why do you tremble?"
34710Why had I not guessed it?
34710Why had she not included Leighton?
34710Why not send for one of the servants?
34710Why should a stranger be called in?"
34710Why, what now?
34710Why?"
34710Will it bore you too much to try?"
34710Will that do?"
34710Will you accept this service?
34710Will you add to this title-- a title which you have yourself given me, the more personal one you have just mentioned?
34710Will you allow me, before explaining myself further, to request your answer to a single question?"
34710Will you come around that way?
34710Will you give her this?"
34710Will you go down?''
34710Will you grant me leave to search the house till I find it?
34710Will you let me be the friend you need?
34710Will you let me compare it with a collection I have in a book here?
34710Will you regard as equally meaningless this letter written four weeks ago?
34710With his back or his face to the window?"
34710With what words should I accost her?
34710Witness, what course did you pursue after coming upon this vest?"
34710Would he seize upon it as she did?
34710Would it falter?
34710Would n''t it be better than the cold and squalor of the streets and these wild dances before unsympathetic eyes?
34710Would she prove to be the wild, unkempt woman whose beautiful look he had endeavoured to describe to the Salvation Army Captain?
34710Would there have been any harm in my cousins being up, or in my running across one of them in the hall?"
34710Would they give me a man to make my projected tour safe?
34710Would you like to hear her sing?"
34710XXXIII IN WHICH WE CAN PARDON MR. GRYCE HIS UNFORTUNATE ILLNESS"You did n''t expect that?
34710Yet might I not be playing the fool in cherishing so generous an estimate of her?
34710Yet what more were they in the unfinished condition in which we find them?
34710Yet why"alas"?
34710You are without doubt a man we can rely on, no matter into what complexities our errand takes us?"
34710You are, and are likely to remain, my only friend; then why should I hold back facts well known to those who come in daily contact with me?
34710You have n''t any too much cash on you, I judge?
34710You know those initials?"
34710You recognise it as paper you have seen before?"
34710You surely have not failed to get from him the day he went down to Mother Merry''s?"
34710You wish me to?"
34710You wo n''t feel called upon to repeat outside what goes on between us in this room?"
34710You wo n''t mind my closing my eyes?
34710Your father had troubles, then?"
34710Yox?
34710_ Now, what is the matter with this vest?_""It lacks a pocket."
34710by what dread?
34710going?"
34710she murmured,"why can not I accept the love of this good man?"
34710so fatal, it was not necessary for him to drink the full glass in order to succumb to it?
35361A fellow like that?
35361A visitor?
35361About whom?
35361After all, why is n''t it?
35361All I desire to know from you further is a statement of the approximate sum required to clear off the mortgages upon the Mandeleys estates?
35361Alone?
35361Along the Embankment?
35361And Mr. Thain? 35361 And Mr. Wadham does n''t approve?"
35361And a good deal depends upon the goal, does n''t it?
35361And about your visit to Mandeleys?
35361And can you make up your mind whether you wish to marry him?
35361And if I,he declared, with a sudden flash in his eyes,"possessed that ridiculous family tree of Lord Charles Grantham''s--""Well?"
35361And if they refused?
35361And my Larangas are not too mild? 35361 And the boy?"
35361And this purpose?
35361And what are you going to do with it?
35361And what does the Marquis do about it?
35361And who''s dining?
35361And why not?
35361And why should I change?
35361And would you advise something different?
35361And you do n''t like me well enough,he asked,"to accept me as a husband for your niece?"
35361And you killed bears and things, I suppose?
35361And you mean to say that it''s really all over and done with now?
35361And you never betray a confidence?
35361And you''re just the same?
35361And you,the Marquis enquired, with questioning sympathy,"were perhaps bored?"
35361And your answer?
35361And your great financial scheme?
35361And your neighbour,the Duchess enquired;"when is he going into residence?"
35361And, in the meantime, what happened at Mandeleys?
35361Any entanglements on the other side?
35361Any fresh stuff in-- interesting stuff, I mean?
35361Any message from our pseudo- Lothario?
35361Any one you know?
35361Anything fresh, Wadham?
35361Anything happened, Marcia?
35361Anything wrong, dad?
35361Are n''t you Mr. David Thain?
35361Are they worth any more now than when father bought them?
35361Are those your only resources?
35361Are you conceited enough,he inquired,"to imagine that I should have chosen you instead of Meg, if you had been there?"
35361Are you going to forget that altogether?
35361Are you in need of profit?
35361Are you mad?
35361Are you not a thief?
35361Are you preparing for a new work of fiction, Marcia,he asked,"or are you developing a fresh standpoint?"
35361Are you quite sure that Mr. Thain is an honest man, father?
35361Are you suggesting,the Marquis enquired,"that I should intervene in favour of your suit?"
35361Are you the only representative of the household?
35361Are you trying to buy me?
35361Are you very ingenuous,she demanded,"or just a little subtle?
35361As your lordship''s adviser,he said,"may I enquire as to the nature of the payment which you have made?
35361Broomleys? 35361 Business?"
35361Business?
35361But Miss Sylvia?
35361But are you going to sit there every day doing it?
35361But if they have not?
35361But is n''t it all absolutely preordained?
35361But tell me, David,she asked,"what was this scheme?
35361But to- night? 35361 But what do we learn, Jim?"
35361But who are you?
35361But why go?
35361But you do n''t care for him any more?
35361But you mean that you are not coming down to see me before then?
35361But you would not care to leave Mandeleys, surely?
35361But, my dear child,he said,"surely that was inevitable, was it not?
35361By what means,he asked tentatively,"could I interest myself in this undertaking?"
35361Ca n''t you see that she is faint?
35361Can I take you or drop you anywhere?
35361Care for him?
35361Chucking a bit more away in the Law Courts, is n''t he?
35361Confess, now, if you could see two rows of ancestors, all illuminated, looking at you while you ate, would n''t it make you feel greedy?
35361Could n''t we talk brutal common sense for once?
35361Could you describe him?
35361Dad,she asked, passing her hand through his arm,"have you had any good news?"
35361David Thain,she said,"have I shown an interest in you or have I not?"
35361Dear friend,she declared, lightly and yet with an undernote of earnestness,"how can I tell?
35361Did I show any signs of remembering you?
35361Did I understand your lordship to say that you had paid forty thousand pounds for them?
35361Did I?
35361Did he send you here?
35361Did he speak of his purpose in doing so?
35361Did n''t you know that we had been alone ever since the morning afterwards? 35361 Do I gather that you wish for my advice?"
35361Do I understand it to be your desire, then, Marcia,he asked,"to effect any change in our relations?"
35361Do I?
35361Do n''t you ever feel any grudge against him? 35361 Do n''t you know that we are all packed up and leaving to- morrow?
35361Do n''t you know who I am? 35361 Do n''t you think, father,"Letitia asked him squarely,"that, however, disagreeable it may be, you ought to speak to Mr. Thain about the shares?
35361Do n''t you think, perhaps,she continued,"that we are a little too self- enclosing?
35361Do n''t you, my lad?
35361Do you ever feel as though you were talking to a real human being, of the same flesh and blood as yourself?
35361Do you know that twenty- five years ago I came to what is called a Farmers''Ordinary in this very room? 35361 Do you really mean that you are willing to share the profits of my next novel with me?"
35361Do you think that you can be happy-- as things are, Marcia?
35361Do you think,he asked,"that I look upon you as a promising investment?"
35361Do you want me as much as all that?
35361Does anybody get all they want out of life?
35361Does he know, then, how kind you are being to me?
35361Exactly what did Caroline mean, I wonder?
35361Exactly what do you mean by that?
35361Father, do you ever feel at ease with him?
35361Father,she said gently,"do n''t you sometimes think that your views of life are a little narrow?
35361Fearfully alike, all our menkind, are n''t they?
35361Figures, I fear, only confuse me,he confessed,"but for the sake of curiosity, what do my quarterly rents amount to?"
35361Finished your flirtation, my dear?
35361Given away, eh?
35361Had I a different reputation?
35361Had you any reason-- any special reason, I mean-- for selling those shares to my father?
35361Had you to make him a partner?
35361Has it ever struck you,she asked,"that there is something peculiar about Mr. Thain in his attitude towards us-- as a family, I mean?"
35361Has the boy returned, too?
35361Has your friend connections in the locality?
35361Has your lordship any idea as to how this liability is to be met?
35361Have n''t I made a start? 35361 Have n''t I reason?"
35361Have n''t you been afraid sometimes lest the ghosts of the dead monks might pay you an unexpected visit?
35361Have n''t you kept that one yet?
35361Have you been lending money to my brother?
35361Have you been telling Mrs. Honeywell how you made all your millions?
35361Have you done?
35361Have you ever been in England before?
35361Have you ever tried pig- sticking, or lying on the edge of a mountain after three hours''tramp, watching for the snout of a bear?
35361Have you heard anything of him?
35361He has taken Broomleys, has n''t he?
35361He is one of your admirers, perhaps?
35361He is perhaps overworked?
35361He travelled second class, eh? 35361 He was lunching or dining with some one?"
35361How are you, Mr. Thain? 35361 How do you do, Marquis?"
35361How do you do, Mr. Thain? 35361 How else should I win even a kind glance?"
35361How much money have you, in plain English?
35361How old are you?
35361How should I have? 35361 How''s the gout?"
35361Hunting, then?
35361I do hope,she remarked,"that you are not thinking of offering me up, dad, on the altar of the God of Dollars?"
35361I do n''t suppose you read them, do you?
35361I gather that the Marquis, then, is impecunious?
35361I have never concealed my affection for you, have I?
35361I may know it, may n''t I?
35361I say, Letty,he remarked, screwing his eyeglass into his eye and looking around,"you''re getting pretty shabby here, eh?"
35361I suppose you can send me to Fakenham for the ten o''clock train?
35361I thought you had settled down here?
35361I wish-- Come back with me now, wo n''t you? 35361 If I felt like that, John, do you know what I should do?
35361If I were to borrow from all my friends and collected a million, do you think I could go out there and become a multi- millionaire?
35361Impecunious?
35361In the meantime, how do we stand for ready money?
35361In what direction?
35361In what way?
35361Independent? 35361 Is Vont about, Miss Marcia?"
35361Is he really human,she asked,"or is he something splendidly picturesque which has just stepped out of one of the frames in his picture gallery?
35361Is it a monetary matter?
35361Is it anything fresh?
35361Is it business? 35361 Is it my fancy,"she asked,"or have you something on your mind?
35361Is it-- may I ask-- an old attachment?
35361Is she engaged to Grantham?
35361Is she the daughter of the present tenant of Broomleys?
35361Is there any reason why I should detain you further?
35361Is there anything else you wish to say?
35361Is there anything else your lordship desires?
35361Is this a fair cross- examination?
35361Is this the truth?
35361Is this the way,she asked,"that Americans woo?
35361Is what?
35361It is Mr. Thain, is it not, who introduced to you this wonderful speculation?
35361It is not done, is it?
35361It''s one of those of your own loose way of thinking, eh? 35361 Just why do you want to see him so much?"
35361Just why have you left America and this wonderful pursuit of wealth?
35361Let me ask you,he began,"have you seen anything more of this man Vont?"
35361Like him? 35361 Long ago?"
35361Look here, my young friend,she said,"you have n''t made the one mistake I warned you against, have you?
35361May I ask-- if it is not an impertinence,he said,--"is Lady Letitia engaged to Lord Charles Grantham?"
35361May I bring you some brandy?
35361May I smoke a pipe?
35361Meaning,he demanded,"that you''ve seen the wickedness of it?"
35361Money again?
35361Mr. David Thain, the multi- millionaire?
35361Mr. Thain was there, eh? 35361 Must I be?"
35361My dear Marcia,he protested gently,"is that like you?
35361My dear man, why am I here?
35361My way?
35361No children to bear your shame, eh? 35361 Not enough to make you a millionaire, I hope?"
35361Not with him?
35361Nothing to regret?
35361Now how on earth can that child still be at Broomleys, if Mr. Thain is really here?
35361Of course, you think I am mad to come and see you like this, do n''t you?
35361Of course,she answered,"but you are sure that you are well?
35361Other functions?
35361Over a million dollars, eh?
35361Private subject? 35361 Profit?"
35361Quiet evening, dad?
35361Quite primitive, are n''t you, James?
35361Reginald,she began,"do you realise that during the whole of my life I have never dined alone with any other man but you?"
35361Reginald,she protested,"why on earth do you plant us in the middle of a vault like this?
35361Remember you?
35361Richard,she demanded,"where were you when I come this morning?"
35361Shall I light the lamp, your lordship?
35361Shall we go inside?
35361Shall we join the others?
35361She is charming, is n''t she?
35361Shooting?
35361Should you mind,she asked,"if I motored down there with my publisher-- Mr. James Borden?
35361So exit Charles Grantham, eh?
35361So the journey down to Mandeleys has not materialised yet?
35361Sold your father shares?
35361Something more?
35361Something to say?
35361Still, to come back to this little tragedy-- for it is a tragedy, is n''t it?--have you any idea what he means to do when he gets to Mandeleys?
35361Surely such a trifling sum does not disturb your calculations? 35361 Surely,"he suggested,"the House of Lords remains?"
35361Taxi, sir?
35361Tell me about these shares?
35361Tell me about your younger days?
35361Tell me everything about her, please?
35361Tell me how you found your way into this room, sir?
35361Tell me,David begged,"about that something more?"
35361That he what?
35361That loitering backward swing, eh?--the lazy indisposition to raise one''s head? 35361 The gentleman wishes to see me?"
35361The girl with Charles Grantham?
35361The lady is alive, then?
35361Them shares, for instance?
35361Then what, in heaven''s name, is it?
35361Then what, my dear child,he asked,"hastened your decision?"
35361There is a certain amount of risk, I suppose?
35361There is nothing more I can say?
35361They are still worth a dollar a share, then?
35361This secret-- which is somebody else''s secret?
35361Tinned in the house, or that sort of thing?
35361To be the real thing, I ought to have earned my first few pounds, ought n''t I? 35361 To come to business, Mr. Thain, are you disposed to part with any?"
35361Trust me, then, and tell me your secret sorrow?
35361Tuesday?
35361Uncle, has n''t it made any difference to you, this coming back?
35361Uncle, is it worth while bringing this all up again?
35361Uncle,he begged,"let me know the worst now?"
35361Was I not the cause of it?
35361Was it love, then, that brought him down through the darkness to dishonour my daughter?
35361Was that what Mr. Wadham was worrying about this morning?
35361We''ve had this over so often, have n''t we? 35361 Well, remind me sometime, wo n''t you?"
35361Well, that is rather a dilemma, is n''t it?
35361Well, what about it?
35361Well, you expected it, did n''t you, father?
35361Well,she asked,"and how has the great trial ended?"
35361Well?
35361Well?
35361Well?
35361Well?
35361What about the partridges, though,he reminded her,"and the hares?
35361What about you? 35361 What are you going to do with that money?"
35361What capital,David Thain enquired,"can you handle?"
35361What did you say that man''s name was, Marquis?
35361What do you think father was settling down to do when I came out?
35361What do you think of our hero of finance?
35361What do you want?
35361What does appeal to you, then?
35361What have you people been doing to Thain?
35361What in hell''s name--?
35361What is her real sphere?
35361What is it all about, anyway, Reginald?
35361What is it you want me to do?
35361What is it, dear?
35361What is its value? 35361 What is the nature of the undertaking?"
35361What is the present price of the shares?
35361What name, sir?
35361What on earth has he to be bumptious about?
35361What reason should I have, Lady Letitia?
35361What room?
35361What would you like to do this morning?
35361What''s that, David?
35361What''s the matter with Borden?
35361What,the former enquired,"is the next step?"
35361When are you going to Mandeleys?
35361When did you hear of Broomleys?
35361When did you see him last?
35361Where is Charles this morning?
35361Where is Charlie?
35361Where is that husband of yours, Margaret?
35361Where?
35361Wherein do we fail most, from your English point of view?
35361Which have you chosen, Meg?
35361Which one?
35361Who are you to be the slave of that old man?
35361Why ask my advice?
35361Why do n''t you come yourself?
35361Why do n''t you marry Charlie Grantham?
35361Why do n''t you try talking common sense to him?
35361Why go?
35361Why have n''t you a brother, Robert?
35361Why not now?
35361Why not outside?
35361Why not, indeed?
35361Why not,he proposed hopefully,"put on your hat and motor into Fakenham with me?
35361Why not?
35361Why not?
35361Why not?
35361Why on earth should n''t we do that at once-- this evening?
35361Why on earth,she asked,"should I take the trouble to tell you anything else?"
35361Why only our class of life?
35361Why should I see her?
35361Why such misanthropy?
35361Why?
35361Why?
35361Why?
35361Why?
35361Will you be so good as to tell me at once what you mean by refusing my niece''s invitation to dine?
35361Will you marry me, Marcia?
35361Will you please take some notice of me?
35361Will you think me very discourteous,he asked,"if I send you back in a taxicab?
35361Without Lady Letitia''s knowledge, I presume?
35361Wo n''t you take me somewhere else one day, Reginald?
35361Work?
35361Working so early?
35361Worthless?
35361Would you like to hear what Ada Honeywell thinks about you?
35361Yes?
35361You allude, I presume,the Marquis said,"to the absence of any legal tie between Miss Hannaway and myself?"
35361You are a better judge than I, Marcia,he observed,"but is such an expedition as you suggest-- usual?
35361You are coming home?
35361You are going back to the cottage?
35361You are going back, then, to Mandeleys?
35361You are going to leave me to brave the perils of the rest of the journey alone?
35361You are not going to be obstinate, are you?
35361You are not making a fool of yourself with Letitia, are you?
35361You are quite comfortable in that chair, I trust?
35361You are sure you wo n''t mind waiting?
35361You can not go?
35361You carry your work about with you, then?
35361You could be trusted?
35361You do n''t like Mr. Thain, then?
35361You do n''t remember me?
35361You feel just the same about him?
35361You found your aunt well, I trust, dear?
35361You have a rival to ruin, eh?
35361You have n''t any good news about the shares, I suppose?
35361You have n''t forgotten, Letitia,he said,"that I lived there?
35361You have n''t let it?
35361You have not yet arrived, I suppose,her father went on,"at any fixed matrimonial intentions with regard to Charlie?"
35361You have some faith, then, in your eligibility-- and your methods of persuasion?
35361You have some news, perhaps, of these Pluto Oils?
35361You have some proposition to make?
35361You hear my aunt''s orders?
35361You know all about me, then? 35361 You know that I went to see him?"
35361You know what that means?
35361You mean Marcia?
35361You mean about last night?
35361You mean that Jimmy has been down to see you?
35361You mean to say that you knew the story-- you-- an American?
35361You play bridge?
35361You play the game?
35361You refer to America?
35361You remember that, perhaps?
35361You will allow me to leave the car for you?
35361You will come up to Broomleys?
35361You will permit me, Mr. Borden,he invited,"to offer you some refreshments?"
35361You will return to lunch, of course? 35361 You wish to see me?"
35361You wo n''t be lonely if that idiot takes me away from you soon?
35361You wo n''t mind,she begged,"if I choose my own time?
35361You would n''t call Borrow exactly modern, would you?
35361You would n''t care about a theatre this evening?
35361You would n''t like me to motor you down, I suppose?
35361You''ll not flinch, lad?
35361You''re not telling me that you''re climbing down?
35361You''ve been taking your dinner up with them-- at the house?
35361You''ve children, eh?
35361You''ve given up the idea, then, of taking the young man to Scotland?
35361You''ve nothing more to say to me about it, then?
35361''It''s for shame, then?''
35361A cocktail is, I gather, some form of alcoholic nourishment?"
35361Ada,"she went on, addressing Mrs. Honeywell,"has Mr. Thain taught you how to become a millionairess?"
35361Am I just a habit, or have you really in the background memories and thoughts about me which you seldom express?"
35361Am I to go to him as a Magdalen, as a penitent?
35361And are you going to allow us anything for the extra bathroom we put in?"
35361And now-- you are listening, Richard Vont?
35361And what time shall I come on Thursday?"
35361And when are they coming down?"
35361And where''s dad?"
35361And why not?"
35361And would you mind not coming until Wednesday?
35361Answer me that, woman?"
35361Any lady in your mind yet?"
35361Are n''t you getting just a little sick, dad, of this everlasting walk and these everlasting people we keep on bowing to and wish we did n''t know?"
35361Are none of those charming little musical comedy ladies I see through the windows there expecting you as their host?"
35361Are you afraid that I might want you to make love to me?"
35361Are you glad?"
35361Are you going to play bridge, Charlie?"
35361Are you going to stand by your pledged word or are you going to play me false?"
35361Are you going to try and break my purpose, too?"
35361Are you mad, uncle?"
35361Are you referring, by chance, to my house of that name?"
35361Are you?
35361At the same time, I hope that whatever your private feelings may be, you will not forget certain-- shall I call them obligations?"
35361At the same time, is it entirely necessary for you to manipulate that hideous machine yourself?"
35361Borden?"
35361But I have missed you.--Shall I go and put on my hat?"
35361But an oath-- an oath''s a sacred thing, eh?"
35361But it will be some one-- you will forgive me, Mr. Thain-- with kindred associations, shall I say?
35361But just tell me-- how can I?"
35361But you''ll send for me?"
35361By- the- by, do you know who our new neighbour is to be at Broomleys?"
35361Ca n''t you believe me when I assure you that there is another way of looking at what you consider so terrible?
35361Ca n''t you believe that to some extent, at least, we have sanctified our love?"
35361Ca n''t you see I''m watching?"
35361Can I have my pony cart, please, Letitia?
35361Come, what is it?"
35361Could he have done differently?
35361Cupboards, for instance?
35361Did he asked for any assurances as to their intrinsic value?"
35361Did he know?"
35361Did n''t you feel a little like that, uncle?
35361Did the agent or Colonel Laycey, by- the- by, say anything about the rent?"
35361Did you hear that noise?
35361Did you notice a queer little cottage, right opposite the Abbey?"
35361Do n''t you care enough for Marcia to think a little of her happiness?
35361Do n''t you know that the society of human beings is good for you?"
35361Do n''t you like women, or have you got some queer scheme in your head which keeps you living like a man with his head in the clouds?
35361Do n''t you sometimes hate him for it?"
35361Do they imprison the lady of their choice in some retired spot and make a cash offer for their affections?
35361Do you find him a pleasant neighbour?"
35361Do you know anything about cupboards?
35361Do you know that you are the only man who has ever sat down in this flat as my guest, during the whole sixteen years I have lived here?"
35361Do you know what I am most afraid of?"
35361Do you know what I mean?"
35361Do you know, Mr. Thain, that we have n''t reared a pheasant for years, and that we do n''t even feed the wild ones?"
35361Do you mark the garden behind?
35361Do you mind going over to the grocer''s and letting him see me with you?"
35361Do you mind that condition?
35361Do you notice how thoughtful he looks?"
35361Do you realise what a great deal of money that is?
35361Do you really believe that Mr. Thain would do you an ill turn like this?"
35361Do you reckon that a man and woman who sinned a score of years ago are any the better because they are going on sinning to- day?
35361Do you suppose Bob would ever have thought of marrying me, if I had n''t put the idea into his head?"
35361Do you think that anything but the rankest and most accursed accident could ever have brought me within reach even of her fingers?"
35361Do you want more than this?"
35361Do you wish me to make your father a present of twenty or thirty thousand pounds?"
35361Father, do tell me what it was?"
35361Had n''t it occurred to you, for instance, that I might prefer to keep you to myself?"
35361Have n''t I deceived the man at whose table I sat and laid a plot to ruin him?
35361Have n''t you anything--""Anything what?"
35361Have we got a party, Letitia?"
35361Have you any idea, Gossett,"he added, as he accepted his cane and gloves,"how to make cocktails?"
35361Have you no women friends?
35361He has never attempted any violence, has he?"
35361He was always wanting things done, was n''t he, father?"
35361How am I to go to him?
35361How many whiskies and sodas?"
35361However, I am not a journalist, so will you answer me one question?"
35361Hyde?"
35361I am rather stupid at these things, Mr. Thain, but you understand?"
35361I do n''t believe you know the value of things a bit, do you-- except of railways and those colossal things?
35361I first took you to Grosvenor Square, did n''t I?"
35361I found a grey hair in my head only the night before last, and do you know how it came?
35361I hope you understand me?"
35361I imagine it is scarcely possible that in the course of your travels you have come across a person so named?"
35361I should be saying quite disagreeable things to you, Mr. Thain, should n''t I?"
35361I suppose that, if we were content to take things quietly, we could collect a few servants and be comfortable there?"
35361I suppose you would n''t care to go down to Mandeleys a week earlier, would you?"
35361I think that you have met him, have n''t you?"
35361I told you about Mr. Thain, dear, did n''t I?
35361I wondered whether you would object to have them back again?
35361If I allude to it in return, will you believe that it is entirely for your sake?"
35361If I choose to walk in the garden, what business is it of yours, Mary, or of any one down in th''village?
35361If I were a man--""Yes?"
35361Is Charlie very much in love with you?"
35361Is he a friend of yours?"
35361Is it likely to separate us?"
35361Is it my fancy,"she went on, a little abruptly,"or are you really troubled about the return of-- of Richard Vont?"
35361Is it sophistry or knowledge?
35361Is it, I wonder, the result of that twenty years''struggle of yours?
35361Is n''t it your husband?"
35361Is n''t she Lady Letitia, your daughter, Marquis?
35361Is n''t she your betrothed, Grantham?
35361Is she quite well-- and the Marquis and all of them?
35361Is there any more news?"
35361Is there any radical difference between marriage and a really intimate friendship between a man and a woman?"
35361Is there anything wrong?"
35361It makes one almost sorry to go away when one realises what one is missing in the shape of neighbours, eh, Sylvia?"
35361James, why are n''t you a little more human?
35361Just answer me one question, David-- why did you refuse that invitation to dinner?"
35361Just one or two more little things like that, and life is made between two people, is n''t it?
35361Might I ask under what circumstances?"
35361No?
35361Now tell me about the good- looking woman who bowed to you, please?"
35361Of course you''re in love with Lady Letitia?"
35361One of those who have forgotten the laws of God and have set up for themselves some graven image in which there''s nought of the truth?"
35361Or are you in love?"
35361Or did my warning come too late and is Letitia the attraction?"
35361Over here-- well, the whole thing is different, is n''t it?
35361Perhaps you are waiting till the mortgages fall in, to buy Mandeleys?
35361Perhaps you will tell me what I am to do?"
35361Richard Vont, like an ignorant clodhopper, viewed the matter from the wrong standpoint.... You said something, I believe?
35361Shall I ask it now?"
35361Shall I tell you what I think the most singular thing in the world?"
35361Shall we join the ladies?"
35361She wondered-- was it really settled between me and Lord Charles?
35361So that was Thursday night, eh?"
35361Surely the Vont family have been retainers down at Mandeleys for generations?
35361Tell me about Lady Letitia, please?
35361Tell me how you have spent the week?"
35361Tell me, how much do I really mean to you?
35361Tell me, what do you propose to do?"
35361Tell me,"she went on,"who was the man with whom you were talking?
35361Thain''?"
35361Thain?"
35361Thain?"
35361Thain?"
35361Thain?"
35361Thain?"
35361Thain?"
35361Thain?"
35361Thain?"
35361Thain?"
35361Thain?"
35361Thain?"
35361Thain?"
35361Thain?"
35361Thain?"
35361Thain?"
35361Thain?"
35361Thain?"
35361That little yellow- haired chit, I suppose, who is down here raving about you all the time-- Sylvia What''s- her- name?"
35361The girl to whom you have alluded-- Vont''s daughter-- what became of her?"
35361The note which reached you contained no ill news, I hope?"
35361There is nothing that we can do for you?"
35361They blossom and they fade, and they lie dead-- who knows where?
35361To abandon abstruse discussions,"she continued, leaning back,"have you regarded my warning?"
35361Vont followed me and fastened the door.--Can''t you read the story?"
35361Wadham?"
35361Wadham?"
35361Wadham?"
35361Wadham?"
35361Was it my fancy, Wadham, or did the young person up there address me?"
35361Was there any way in which he could have spared himself the ignominy, the terrible humiliation of those few minutes?
35361Well, why not let it go at that?"
35361Well?
35361Were you late last night?"
35361What about those nine years?
35361What about your own future?
35361What are you doing to- night, dad?"
35361What can I do to- night?"
35361What have you done to hurt him-- the Marquis?"
35361What have you ever done which needs apology?"
35361What is there left?"
35361What is this further deed that I must do?"
35361What is your goal?"
35361What is your type, then?
35361What on earth does he want to do it for?"
35361What on earth have you been doing to father?
35361What shall you do when you see him sitting in his garden?"
35361What time did you start?"
35361What''s it mean, eh?"
35361Whatever is he doing down here?
35361When are you going to Mandeleys?"
35361When are you going to announce your engagement?"
35361Where are the wells?"
35361Where did you get your mount from, dear?"
35361Where do I stop, please?"
35361Where''s Reginald?"
35361Where''s father?"
35361Whilst we are on this subject, Reginald, what are you going to do about it?"
35361Who''s coming to lunch, please?
35361Whom did you meet this afternoon?"
35361Why are we all so frightened of your father, Letitia?
35361Why do n''t you all go,"she suggested,"and take Mr. Thain by storm?
35361Why do n''t you get up and be a human being?
35361Why do n''t you marry, Letty?"
35361Why do n''t you rid yourself of the idea, once for all, that you or your daughter have suffered any wrong?
35361Why do n''t you stand up and take off your hat?
35361Why do you go?"
35361Why do you talk about agriculture?
35361Why on earth not open up some of the smaller rooms?"
35361Why?"
35361Will he sit in the garden and brood, I wonder, or has he brought back with him some scheme of mediaeval revenge?"
35361Will you forgive?
35361Will you give me the honour of your company?"
35361Will you hear from me what has happened?"
35361Will you listen to what I have to say?"
35361With a lady, was n''t it?"
35361Wo n''t you come and try my housekeeping, Colonel, before you move on, and bring Miss Sylvia?"
35361Would it bore you if I continue?"
35361Would you like her to live with a man and not be married to him?"
35361Would you take me there?"
35361You are different, are n''t you?"
35361You are dining out, are n''t you?"
35361You are listening, Richard Vont?"
35361You are without friends, perhaps?
35361You do n''t expect manners of me, anyway, but could you accept my farewell and excuse me to the others?
35361You do n''t mind talking about him, do you, Letitia, because that''s what I''ve come for?"
35361You enjoyed the play, dear?"
35361You have n''t fallen in love with Letitia?"
35361You have n''t forgotten that that old man was my uncle!--that his father and grandfather were the servants of your family?"
35361You know the Marquis, do n''t you?"
35361You made some, maybe, and they heard of your disgrace, and they''ve cast you off?"
35361You mean to say that you have secrets with a fellow like that?"
35361You really do n''t think, then, that you have any attraction apart from your millions?"
35361You received my cheque, I hope?"
35361You remember the night?
35361You remember?"
35361You remember?"
35361You see that tree there?
35361You see the weeds on the lawn, David?
35361You surely never intended that we should benefit by them in this extraordinary way?"
35361You understand?"
35361You will forgive my ringing, will you not?
35361You will hear what has happened?"
35361You wo n''t forget?"
35361You wo n''t mind,"she went on, after a second''s hesitation,"if I mention it to Reginald?
35361You would be able to entertain properly, would n''t you, and take up your rightful position in the county?"
35361You would like a yearly tenancy, I presume?"
35361You would n''t believe, Mr. Thain,"she added, buttoning her gloves,"that one''s relations are supposed to be a help to one in life?"
35361You''ll come, David-- please?"
35361You''ll do your best for us?"
35361Your niece, Duchess?
35361she begged.--"You see the time?"
35361she enquired,"one in which money would make any difference, I mean?"
33271A jest? 33271 A lady?
33271A mark for every year? 33271 A witness?
33271A woman''s?
33271A woman? 33271 About Geoff?"
33271After that? 33271 Ah, did n''t I?
33271Ah, the constable, eh? 33271 Ailsa Lorne, Mr. Narkom?
33271And Geoffrey Clavering knew it then?
33271And after that?
33271And did n''t?
33271And did you?
33271And in spite of all that, she still loves this father who compelled her to give up all that life held, eh?
33271And that one thing, Mr. Cleek? 33271 And who was to tell you that the guest would not drink at all?"
33271And you are that man-- Philip Barch, Ailsa Lorne''s friend? 33271 And you did n''t succeed in seeing her face at all?"
33271And you found that door open? 33271 And you know that I lied, do n''t you?"
33271And you think of that boy-- what?
33271And you think that she-- that Margot-- did it?
33271And you will say nothing, absolutely nothing, to any living soul about this-- about me-- about anything that has happened here?
33271And you will swear by it that you came only to meet your son? 33271 Antecedent of that personal pronoun, please; who may the''she''in question be?"
33271Anybody there?
33271Anything amiss?
33271Are you nearer the end? 33271 Are you sure?"
33271Are you?
33271Are you?
33271Argentina?
33271Boy, what''s all this thing about? 33271 But upon my sacred word of honour, sir----""You have heard what I said, have n''t you?
33271But why did you wish to take a short cut to the house, Clavering? 33271 But, first, tell me: where is this other door in the wall of which you speak, the one where the Pink Woman goes?"
33271But-- but-- are you_ sure_ there is no mistake?
33271Can you? 33271 Carry me?
33271Clavering, are you sure that you are telling the truth about this? 33271 Cleek, dear chap,"he said, plucking him by the sleeve,"in the name of heaven, what is to be done now?
33271Cleek? 33271 Coming again, is she, General?"
33271Could n''t tell me, I suppose, where I might get a peep at-- I-- er-- mean who is the doctor attending to him?
33271De Louvisan? 33271 De Louvisan?"
33271Did he write no note to Lady Katharine then-- send her no message, Miss Lorne?
33271Did n''t know he was out? 33271 Did what-- the murder?
33271Did you say that somebody was asking over the telephone for_ me_, Johnston? 33271 Did you?"
33271Do I understand you to say, Mr. Barch, that you gave your clothes to somebody whom you took for my son''s valet? 33271 Do n''t you?
33271Do you hear what I say? 33271 Do you think for one instant that I would marry you when you make such a charge as that against me?
33271Do you? 33271 Do you?"
33271Does he?
33271Drugging him?
33271Eh, what?
33271Ever remark how faithfully old footmen cling to their''calves''and old valets cleave to their little black side- whiskers? 33271 Ever see a chap that looked like this, friend Paul, eh?"
33271Explains it? 33271 Few?
33271Find them out for me, will you? 33271 Footsteps?
33271For long?
33271Gawd''s truth, gov''ner, is it you at last? 33271 General Raynor?
33271General Raynor? 33271 General Raynor?"
33271Geoffrey Clavering? 33271 Geoffrey Clavering?
33271Good gracious, Mr. Cleek, whatever in the world are you thinking about?
33271Good heavens above, how do you expect I am going to know? 33271 Good heavens, how do you know these things?
33271Harry Raynor? 33271 Harry''s valet?"
33271Harry, darling, how can you?
33271Has it, indeed? 33271 He left this afternoon, did he not?
33271Here we are at the cottage-- unless you would like to see the arch first?
33271Here who comes?
33271How could I? 33271 How do you know that the General typed the letter?"
33271How shall we sum him up by the measure of these things, Mr. Narkom, as a hero or as a scoundrel?
33271How should I know?
33271How?
33271How_ do_ you maintain your composure under such trying circumstances? 33271 Hullo, Miss Lorne, enjoying an evening ramble, too?
33271I am likely to''insult''you when I''m ready to stand by you through thick and thin, am I not? 33271 I say, Barch, hold on a moment, will you?"
33271I say, send him away, wo n''t you? 33271 I say-- look here-- is this thing a joke after all, and are you going to give me my liberty?"
33271I thought you said just now that you were satisfied regarding that? 33271 I wonder which is your greater side-- your shrewdness or your humanity?"
33271I? 33271 If a man may not consider his personal convenience in his own house, what''s the good of saying that an Englishman''s home is his castle?"
33271If he is innocent, why was he hiding? 33271 In there?
33271Insult? 33271 It is you at last, then, is it?"
33271Just half a second, will you?
33271Kill him, Geoff? 33271 Lady Clavering?"
33271Loisette? 33271 Look at that for a sample of drorin'', will yer?"
33271Look here, young man, what''s the meaning of this? 33271 Look here,"he said suddenly,"do you know this man?"
33271Make of it, Mr. Narkom? 33271 Malta was it?
33271Margot?
33271Marry-- marry?
33271Master wishes to know if there is any especial dish your lordship fancies, or shall I bring up just what cook has prepared?
33271May I ask when? 33271 May I?
33271Me, sir? 33271 Mignon?"
33271Miss Lorne,he asked,"did Lady Katharine bring her ermine cloak with her when she came up from Suffolk?"
33271Murder is it, Keeper?
33271My dear Cleek, could you be sure of that?
33271My dear Mr. Barch----"Catch the point? 33271 My dear chap, have you forgotten that it was in Argentina Lord St. Ulmer spent those many years of his self- imposed exile?
33271My dear, do you think that wise? 33271 No offence, eh?
33271No reason to doubt any living soul?
33271Nor this one?
33271Not''Pink Gauze''? 33271 Now tell me,"he went on,"why did Miss Lorne ask you to be''on the lookout''for me?
33271Oh, ca n''t you?
33271Pink Gauze? 33271 Really?
33271Really?
33271Remember her? 33271 Rum how we English stick to precedent, is n''t it?"
33271Sent for Geoff Clavering to come here-- here?
33271Sent you about my_ dinner_--and by that door?
33271Shall I tell you something? 33271 Shall I tell you?
33271Shall one go into details that may, possibly, be unnecessary?
33271Shall we go to meet Geoff?
33271Shall we meet Lady Katharine''s father as well?
33271She?
33271So Lady Clavering is an Austrian, eh? 33271 So it has come to this at last, has it, De Morcerf?"
33271So our friend the mysterious assassin disappeared in the middle of a sort of tunnel did he-- and with a man at either end? 33271 Somebody calling for me over the telephone?"
33271St. Ulmer? 33271 Stop her?
33271Telephone, did you say?
33271That I met you and took you into Gleer Cottage last night?
33271That I-- I-- did this thing?
33271That child-- that dear girl who is as much as life itself to young Geoff Clavering? 33271 That''s a pretty tough job, is n''t it?"
33271The General''s?
33271The Lady in Pink, eh?
33271The assassin?
33271The dickens you say? 33271 The end?"
33271The law? 33271 The reason?
33271The''dye stick''?
33271Then she did_ not_ wear a gown of some soft, gauzy pink material, eh? 33271 Then there_ was_ such a gown in the rooms at Clavering Close to- night, eh?
33271Then what are you arresting me for?
33271Then where''s he gone? 33271 Then why did she lead me into it?
33271Then why do you allude to his daughter and heiress as an''unhappy young lady''? 33271 Then you were that man-- you?
33271There_ were_ footsteps then?
33271To get him out of the neighbourhood for the night?
33271Took you in there and showed you that man''s-- body? 33271 Was Mrs. Raynor interested in the note, then?
33271Was that before you left the Grange or after?
33271Well, I''m going to give_ you_ one, too, dear boy; and as first horse at the post wins-- I say, what price this little caper? 33271 Well, was it worth the price, do you think?
33271Were n''t you? 33271 What about this poor chap here, sir?"
33271What are you going to do with me now?
33271What did the local doctor think caused the illness? 33271 What do you mean?
33271What do you take me for-- an old woman? 33271 What do you think about it?"
33271What does it matter one way or the other? 33271 What has become of my boy?
33271What is it that is wrong? 33271 What is it?
33271What is the meaning of this outrage, and who is this young person?
33271What is the meaning of this outrage? 33271 What kind of a game is this?"
33271What made you think not, Ailsa?
33271What risk?
33271What was it?
33271What will we be importing from the continent next, Hammond? 33271 What''s he doing here?
33271What''s in the wind, Mr. Narkom? 33271 What''s that?
33271What''s that? 33271 What''s that?
33271What''s that?
33271What''s this? 33271 What''s your game?
33271When and how? 33271 Where''s your master, Dollops?"
33271Which of this interesting pair is doing the lying? 33271 Which, as to- day is that day, and you still speak of her as Lady Katharine Fordham, I presume did not take place?"
33271Who are you? 33271 Who knows better than I how false appearances may be?"
33271Who should be less likely to take suspicious circumstances for proof?
33271Who then? 33271 Who''s there?
33271Who-- the keeper?
33271Who? 33271 Whom?"
33271Whose letters?
33271Why did you do that?
33271Why should he? 33271 Why, what the dickens-- I say, where are you?"
33271Why?
33271Why?
33271Why?
33271Why?
33271Will it matter_ who_ watches?
33271Will you believe now, Miss Lorne?
33271With me?
33271Women and-- and a deed of violence, a deed of horror, like that? 33271 Would it not be as well to wait?
33271Yes, but how was it done, Cleek? 33271 Yes, old chap?"
33271Yes, old chap?
33271You are absolutely sure that you have no suspicion of the murderer''s identity?
33271You are quite sure, monsieur?
33271You are sure it is for me, Hamer? 33271 You are sure of that?"
33271You did not sleep well, darling, did you?
33271You found it out at the garden door, then? 33271 You have a theory regarding it, then?"
33271You know her-- you actually know her?
33271You know that she_ was n''t_ there last night, after all?
33271You know that, too? 33271 You know then, you know?"
33271You mean about my threatening De Louvisan?
33271You mean to say that Lady Clavering was out there on the Common, away from her guests? 33271 You see who it is, do n''t you, sir?
33271You wo n''t come out and stand up to me like a man, then?
33271Young Geoff Clavering? 33271 Your master sent you up about my dinner?"
33271_ Are n''t_ you glad, Geoff? 33271 A bad turn, is it? 33271 A man of honour responds promptly to an appeal to that honour; and I am asking you on yours if you are telling the truth?
33271A quarrel do you mean?
33271A woman, eh?
33271Accused him?
33271After all, she was merely"a red herring drawn across the trail,"eh?
33271After you had given your promise to Lady Clavering not to return to Gleer Cottage, why, may I ask, did you break it and go back?"
33271Ah, Raynor, is that you?"
33271Ah, he did, eh?
33271Ah, it is, eh?
33271And I reckon this is one of your pet mashes-- eh, what?"
33271And I say: how long have I got to stop up here, anyhow?
33271And Lady Clavering?
33271And Mr. Narkom knew all the time?"
33271And a hammer was used, was n''t it, to spike that dead man to the wall?
33271And for whom?
33271And having come into possession of them, why had he suddenly become anxious to get rid of them?
33271And he would n''t have a doctor and would n''t see any outsiders, this Lord St. Ulmer, eh?
33271And if not for a criminal purpose, why did he come to this place at all?"
33271And if she did, would she be likely to have brought it up from Suffolk at this time of the year?
33271And is that why you did not come over to see me before?"
33271And it is this Count de Louvisan, you tell me, that has been murdered?
33271And now this Lord St. Ulmer was burning labels that once had been the property of that man, was he?
33271And only a moment or two ago he had asked himself,"Which man?"
33271And possessing two evening suits, which had that interesting young gentleman worn yesterday?
33271And she must have had something to do with this night''s business, gov''ner, or why should she be wandering about this place at such a time?
33271And she was n''t there?"
33271And she''s got a little place of her own, eh?
33271And speaking of that-- I say, Barchie, we''ll go to- night, if you like-- eh, what?"
33271And the A- string?
33271And the Imperial Blues?
33271And the man she was meeting, this crafty fellow who hung back in the shadow of the solid gate, who and what was he?
33271And the other; who''s he?"
33271And the pamphlet?
33271And this little maggot of a Harry Raynor is the latest dupe, eh?
33271And what is the meaning of this astonishing business, if you please?"
33271And what of Lady Clavering?
33271And what was the explanation of the scrap of pink gauze that was hidden with the other things in the filled tobacco jar?
33271And what, of all things, about Lady Katharine Fordham?
33271And when I''ve done that, wot next, if you please?"
33271And whom did_ she_ come to see?
33271And why in the world should he choose this particular day to do it?
33271And why not?
33271And why not?
33271And why on earth has n''t one of you answered my ring?"
33271And you do remember the lady that wore it?"
33271And you know how that man, that De Louvisan, had blackmailed her?"
33271And you say that she accused him of the murder?
33271And you tell me that in those old days you practised a trick such as this fellow did to- night?"
33271And, by the way, how did you get that bit of pink gauze, old chap?
33271And, having dug, why try to disguise the fact?
33271Any clue to the party who assaulted him?"
33271Any drop into the waste basket by chance?
33271Any idea from where?"
33271Any particular significance attached to it?"
33271Are n''t going to crumple up, Barch, are you?"
33271Are you mad, or are you something worse, to come here and make this abominable lying charge against me-- against_ me_?
33271Are you sure?
33271Are you taking leave of your senses, Raynor?
33271Are you_ sure_?"
33271As soon as you''d found out that Katie What''s- her- name could n''t have written the letter, and that you''d been deceived by somebody, then what?"
33271At what hour did he return last night, then?"
33271Bad as that, was he?"
33271Barch?"
33271Barch?"
33271Barch?"
33271Barch?"
33271Barch?"
33271Besides, why should you want to get out of the room?
33271Besides, why_ should_ he take orders from_ me_, anyway?"
33271Big green smudge on your cuff, as if you''d been up against a mossy wall?
33271But after that?"
33271But he has been over here, this morning, has he not?"
33271But it does n''t matter which, does it, so long as you learned the trick, and are able to put up a stiff fight and floor a burglar still?
33271But people in that condition will answer questions, and---- Who spoke first, when you met last night?"
33271But stepmothers?
33271But will you walk with me as far as the angle of the wall on the other side of the shrubbery, Miss Lorne?
33271But, I say, that''s letting you into something, is n''t it?
33271But, in any case, since you confess that you were there, what took you to Gleer Cottage last night at all?"
33271But, oh, my God, Kathie, why did n''t you let_ me_ kill him?"
33271But---- Would you like a pleasant surprise?
33271But_ why_ an Apache crime?
33271By the way, Hawkins, do you happen to know what time Mr. Harry got home last night?
33271By the way, what induced you to snap them on him in the first place?
33271CHAPTER FOURTEEN A CHANGE IN THE PROGRAM"I suppose you understand that this is a pretty high- handed sort of proceeding?"
33271CHAPTER TWENTY- FIVE THE FLY IN THE OINTMENT"My boy?"
33271Ca n''t I take that, and put on end to the dad''s anxiety as soon as possible?"
33271Ca n''t you get word to my pater somehow?
33271Can you get me a sheet or two?"
33271Can you remember any lady to- night that did?"
33271Carry me where?
33271Certainly it would be to meet a man; but what man?
33271Citizen Paul, good brother Apache, so it is you, is it?"
33271Claimed to have received it this afternoon, did n''t he?
33271Clavering?"
33271Cleek''s jaws clamped together as the thought came, Would it, indeed?
33271Cleek, how do you know that?"
33271Cleek?"
33271Cleek?"
33271Come now; that''s a fair proposition, is it not?"
33271Come on, will you?
33271Come quick, will yer?
33271Come with me if you like----""Not I, old man, I''ve promised to join the ladies, see you later, eh?"
33271Could n''t have left it lying about where anybody might pick it up, could you?"
33271Could n''t he see that the very thing he was doing to mislead justice was the one circumstance which directed its sword against himself?
33271Could n''t the fellow reason?
33271Could you be positive then that what you smelt was not on his hair or moustache?
33271De Louvisan?
33271Dear old chap, is n''t there something better and nobler than human justice, something higher than the laws of man?"
33271Did he say if he''d be returning to Wimbledon to- night or not?
33271Did it?"
33271Did n''t get into a scrap with Sir Philip after I left you, did you, eh?"
33271Did she show any desire to hear what it was about?"
33271Did you ever know the time when I would n''t do all that I could to help the best friend I ever had-- yourself?
33271Did you get anything out of this poor fellow?
33271Did you say hiding?"
33271Did you?"
33271Do n''t mean the little Frenchy, do you-- the little beauty of the photograph?"
33271Do n''t want two sick men on one floor, do you, eh?
33271Do they have to match the dress that''s worn with them or not?"
33271Do you accuse me of lying?"
33271Do you happen to know if the late Count de Louvisan was ever in Argentina, Miss Lorne?"
33271Do you happen to know what that something was?"
33271Do you know, Clavering?
33271Do you know, Miss Lorne?
33271Do you think I would?
33271Do you think it discreet?"
33271Do you want me to tell you the truth?
33271Do you want to see him?"
33271Do you?
33271Does he?"
33271Down that path, is it?
33271Eh, what?"
33271Ever give you what our Yankee cousins call the touch?
33271Ever try to get anything out of you?"
33271Explains what?"
33271For one thing, what would be the sense of smearing them on the dead man''s shirt bosom if they merely stood for that?
33271Forgotten all about the bracelet, eh?
33271Geoff-- you-- think--_I_--killed-- killed-- him?"
33271Geoffrey?"
33271Good heavens, what are you talking about?
33271Got time to do something for me?"
33271Great Scott, is it you?''
33271Had n''t let her lure him into taking the oath and enrolling himself a member of the Apache?
33271Had she not done so already?
33271Harry Raynor or Lord St. Ulmer?
33271Has anything extraordinary occurred?"
33271Have I?
33271Have our night out to- morrow instead-- eh, what?
33271Have you discovered anything fresh?"
33271Have you left me?"
33271He had one, that he knew; but was it in the kit bag?
33271He''ll tell you that just as he told me; wo n''t you, Clavering, eh?"
33271Hiding?
33271How about the mantelpiece then?
33271How and where?
33271How are you, Clavering?
33271How came she to be writing letters to him, sending her photograph to him?
33271How came you in this place, and for what reason?"
33271How could she love a father whom she had not seen since she was a baby-- whom she did not even know when he came back to claim her?
33271How could she?"
33271How did Lord St. Ulmer come into possession of those labels?
33271How did he elude the chasing keeper and the waiting constable?
33271How did the affair begin, and where?"
33271How did you come by this, dear boy-- and when?"
33271How did you come to take that?"
33271How did you work it, then?
33271How do you know that?"
33271How get him to assist in that thing, if he did assist?
33271How lead him up to this abominable act regarding his own father?
33271How should I?
33271How?
33271How?
33271I fancy he will be likely to, considering his interest in the Claverings, but did he say he would?"
33271I only wonder at one thing: What makes Sir Philip Clavering use black cosmetic?
33271I say what on earth are you doing?"
33271I say, Barch-- chin''-chin'', old chap!-- I say, you want to know what sent me back so unexpectedly, do you, eh?
33271I say, how did you come to be there, Raynor?
33271I say, how the dickens did you ever come across this French lot?
33271I say, what''s the matter, Sir Philip?
33271I say, who the devil are you?"
33271I suppose you realize that I have heard all that passed between you and Lady Katharine Fordham this evening?"
33271I think you are aware of the fact that I use black cosmetic on my moustache, Mr. Cleek?
33271I think you told me earlier in the evening that Mr. Narkom had gone back to town, did you not?
33271I?"
33271If I believed, should I come here and openly tell you of these things?
33271If it were worth his while-- to save his own skin, to divert suspicion from himself---- Well, was it not worth his while now?
33271If, by any chance, it really had been Sir Philip Clavering, how came these clothes buried in the grounds of Wuthering Grange?
33271In Paris?"
33271In the circumstances, why should she have done so?
33271In the meantime, will you, as silently and as expeditiously as you can, steal back through the grounds and show Dollops the way to the ruin?
33271In the name of reason, where did you get that impression of the man?
33271In this neighbourhood?"
33271Indeed?
33271Is he about, my lads?"
33271Is he in?
33271Is it you at last?"
33271Is n''t it dangerous to wake a sleep- walker?"
33271Is n''t that enough to show you how impossible it is to evade what is to be?
33271Is that"--turning to the dying man--"the truth of it?"
33271Is the solution anywhere in sight?"
33271Is there anything wrong?"
33271Is there?"
33271It is an old, old game of yours, that, is n''t it, Margot?
33271It is what you Anglais shall call''tommyrot,''that, eh?"
33271Just one more word: Happen to know anybody besides Mr. Harry Raynor who is addicted to the use of black cosmetic for the moustache?"
33271Kathie, what is the use of denying what we both know?"
33271Kill whom?"
33271Know anybody who has?"
33271Know her?
33271Know when he got back?"
33271Lady Clavering?"
33271Last night?
33271Let you kill De Louvisan-- I?
33271Little bit of all right, that-- eh, what?"
33271Man or woman?"
33271May I ask what it is?"
33271May I be allowed to join you?"
33271Mere solicitude for the welfare of a beloved stepson, eh?
33271Miss Lorne, can you stand a shock?
33271Miss Lorne-- Ailsa-- tell me, will you-- have you ever seen this thing before?"
33271More than that, what was the connection between young Raynor and Margot?
33271Narkom?"
33271Narkom?"
33271Nine boards, then?
33271Nine feet?
33271Not Lady Clavering, but Geoff Clavering''s old valet, Purviss?
33271Not St. Ulmer either, eh?
33271Now tell me something, Mr. Narkom: How came you to be in the neighbourhood of Mulberry Lane at all to- night?
33271Now what in the world made you think he''d be calling on her last night, eh?"
33271Now will you tell me, Miss Lorne, how long it is since Lady Katharine lost that little golden capsule from her bracelet?
33271Now, asked Cleek of himself, what the dickens should any one wish to dig in this place for?
33271Now, then, upon what pretext?
33271Of course that was all nonsense about her being anxious over Geoff; but, still-- why?
33271Of course the girl could n''t be compelled to marry the man against her will, so if she consented to the breaking of the engagement----Did she?"
33271Oh, Mr. Cleek, a-- a woman?"
33271Oh, but why, but how?
33271Oh, did you?
33271Or could n''t you see?"
33271Or did his lordship recover on the way home, and find it unnecessary to call him in at all?
33271Or did n''t you see her then?"
33271Or is it on this floor that Lord St. Ulmer''s room is situated?"
33271Or perhaps you do n''t know?"
33271Ought n''t we to take him with us, and turn him over to the hospital folk?"
33271Pardon?
33271Purviss, eh?
33271Recently?"
33271Recollect, do n''t you, that when you came to meet me at the ruin, I told you I''d suddenly been called away?
33271Remember, do n''t you, that I said I was going to give you a shock?"
33271Rum what fancies women of that sort have, eh?
33271Serve your coffee in your study, sir?"
33271Shall I get out the evenin''clothes, and put the bag back under the hedge, or will you take it with you?"
33271Shall I prove it to you?
33271Shall I say that you will rejoin him there, sir?"
33271She did come out on the Common to- night, and---- What''s that?
33271She is fond of him, then?
33271She said, did she not, that she would''show you something that would light the way back to the land of happiness''?
33271Should I not carry proofs there if I believed that they were proofs?
33271Should he take Miss Lorne into his confidence or not?
33271Shoulders on you like a giant; arms like-- mind if I feel what they''re like?"
33271Shove that siphon over this way, will you, dear boy?
33271Slip into the library and get me a sheet of paper and a bit of pencil, will you?
33271So he, too, was in the know, was he?
33271So her name''s Mignon de Varville, is it?
33271So that was how the cat jumped, was it?
33271So there was a second woman who prowled about Wuthering Grange and endeavoured to see somebody in secret, was there?
33271So, then, he had been a fool for his pains, had he-- a fool taken in and gulled by appearances, eh?
33271So, then, she had abandoned her customary tactics for once, and had brought some of the female members of her crew to England with her, had she?
33271Some friend of yours or for the Yard?"
33271Something that decides?"
33271Speak up, do, and tell me what you make of it?"
33271Springing at me like a wild animal, he cried out:''Spying, were you?
33271St. Ulmer?
33271Still, why should I not ask?
33271Sure that the name was Barch?"
33271Tell me-- now-- before anybody comes: Who did it?
33271That is the great French scientist, is it not?
33271That was Margot''s little game, eh?
33271That was it, eh?
33271That you had no other purpose in coming whatsoever?"
33271That''s the gentleman who is ill, is n''t it?"
33271That''s the man, is n''t it?"
33271The Apaches or this foolish, hot- headed boy lover?"
33271The Lady in Pink?"
33271The chap whose coming of age was celebrated to- day?"
33271The forged letter, eh?
33271The hostess?"
33271The lady of the tobacco jar?"
33271The law?"
33271The man?"
33271The queen of the Apaches?"
33271The question was, did Lady Katharine Fordham possess an ermine cloak?
33271Then she spoke suddenly:"You mean this thing?
33271Then there was another point: What had called Harry Raynor away so unexpectedly, and what had so unexpectedly called him back?
33271Then what did?"
33271Then what in heaven''s name is the use of keeping up this idle pretence with me?"
33271Then what other man?
33271Then why?"
33271There could be no shadow of a reason for the police coming here, because---- Eh?
33271Things look like going all right for you after all-- eh, what?
33271This one, which he had lent to Cleek, or the one he would himself wear at dinner to- night?
33271To look for you?
33271To meet some one?
33271Turned up suddenly at Ulmer Court, did n''t he?
33271Ulmer?"
33271Understand that?
33271Understand?"
33271Understand?"
33271Want him?"
33271Was his being there merely a commonplace thing, or was there something between them?
33271Was it a pink dress?
33271Was it but a cloak to hide her designs?
33271Was it to secure that very string?
33271Was it, as I am hoping, on the day when you visited Gleer Cottage in company with her, or since?"
33271Was that Margot''s little game?
33271Was that the way the idiot had been tricked into becoming an accomplice?
33271Was there any reason for such a thing?"
33271Was there, then, a possibility that Geoff Clavering was speaking the truth, and that it was Lady Katharine herself who was lying?
33271Well, then, what about that garden door being the answer?
33271Well, what of it?
33271Well-- er-- shall not we see the keeper, too?
33271Went to town on some special matter for Lady Katharine Fordham, did n''t he, and is likely to be very late indeed in returning?"
33271What are you bounders kicking up all this noise about?
33271What are you doing here?
33271What are you doing in this place?
33271What are you doing that you have to work about it in the dark?"
33271What are you trying to infer?
33271What are you up to?
33271What are you up to?
33271What brings the police here, of all places in England?
33271What brings the police to Wuthering Grange?
33271What can he know of this?
33271What could have impelled her to take such a step-- and at such a time?"
33271What did she mean by saying what she did about showing me something that would light the way back to the land of happiness?"
33271What did that lady wear?
33271What did that mean?
33271What do you think-- eh, what?"
33271What do you want?
33271What had taken her out upon the Common last night?
33271What has happened to him?
33271What have I to do with the law?
33271What in the world made you say''Phew''like that?"
33271What is the matter with you, Geoff?
33271What kind is it?
33271What of his father?
33271What of young Geoff?
33271What on earth can you be thinking about?"
33271What other motive could she have, you silly fellow?
33271What other proof could he secure?
33271What other reason_ could_ I have?"
33271What part was his in this grim riddle of death?
33271What possible connection could there be between those two people of all others?"
33271What reason could he have for dreading the man?"
33271What sort of a swindle, old chap, eh?"
33271What sort of papers had he that it was necessary for him-- a supposed invalid-- to get out of bed and destroy?
33271What the devil do you mean by coming in here, unasked?"
33271What the dickens was that?
33271What trouble and discomfort can be saved?"
33271What two?
33271What wall door open?"
33271What was Lord St. Ulmer burning papers for?
33271What was he doing in Lord St. Ulmer''s room this evening?
33271What was he doing, if you please, that you should have gone to such a length?"
33271What was his motive?
33271What was it he was reading while his unnatural son was slandering him to a stranger?
33271What was it the dying Common keeper had said?
33271What was it you were saying?
33271What was she after?
33271What was that that Narkom had told him regarding Lennard''s startling experience after he had been left on guard at the old railway arch?
33271What was that?
33271What was_ her_ mission, her place in this elusive puzzle?
33271What woman would be coming here at this time when all the ladies of the household would be in their rooms dressing for dinner?
33271What''s gone wrong?"
33271What''s it?
33271What''s that, Hamer?"
33271What''s that?
33271What''s that?
33271What''s that?
33271What''s that?
33271What''s the odds that they are not identical?
33271What''s your little dodge, eh?"
33271What, then, was this other woman''s place in the puzzle?
33271Whatever can it be that you''have to say to me that no one on this earth must hear''?
33271When I got into the cottage and found Lady Clavering----""With a pink gauze petticoat under a pale green satin dress?"
33271When?
33271When?
33271Where did he go?
33271Where did he go?
33271Where did she come in?
33271Where did she go?
33271Where did you meet the charming Mignon?
33271Where is he?"
33271Where was Harry Raynor last night?
33271Where''ll I go?
33271Where''s Mr. Harry-- upstairs or in the drawing- room with the ladies?"
33271Where, then, does young Raynor come in?
33271Where?
33271Which are you-- a man or a mouse?"
33271Which is it?
33271Which one will take me back?"
33271Which, then,_ was_ Mr. Harry Raynor: the brainless fool he appeared, or a very excellent actor playing a very cunning part?
33271Who and what is this enterprising individual upon my back?
33271Who are the two men in question?"
33271Who are you?
33271Who are you?"
33271Who are you?"
33271Who could on so slight a thing as the mere hot- headed outburst of an excited young man?"
33271Who is he?
33271Who is there to impersonate you, and for what reason?
33271Who is to know the taste of a mere guest in the matter of his after- dinner drink?
33271Who opened that door?
33271Who then was the wearer of the pale green satin gown?
33271Who under this roof has fallen under suspicion--_could_ fall under suspicion?
33271Who would n''t go to bed with a headache after a visit from a goat like Geoff Clavering?"
33271Who''s this fellow?"
33271Who, then, was this other woman in pink?
33271Who?"
33271Whom had she come to see?
33271Whom?
33271Why are you smiling?
33271Why did he spike that body to the wall?"
33271Why did n''t he apply to me for permission to enter the place if he thought it necessary to do so?
33271Why did she go out?
33271Why did she run away and leave me there with his dead body?
33271Why did you want me to come here and meet you without anybody knowing?
33271Why few, pray?"
33271Why had she played the''cello at all at such a time?
33271Why not?"
33271Why should I not question everything, any statement, in the face of to- night?"
33271Why should n''t it have been he that unfastened it?
33271Why should n''t this business of pouncing upon Sir Philip and making an outcry be a clever dodge to make a safe getaway?"
33271Why was it so important that you should see me at once without Kathie knowing?
33271Why, then, should he break open my garden door without warrant or privilege and send his spies in here?"
33271Why?"
33271Why?"
33271Why?"
33271Why?"
33271Will you come?
33271Will you give me that promise?
33271Will you pardon me if I rush off and see him for a few minutes?
33271Will you swear, will you give me your word of honour, that it was to seek your boy, that and that alone, which brought you to this place to- night?"
33271Will you?"
33271With a quick intaking of the breath and a whispered,"Is it you?
33271Wot''ll I do, sir?"
33271Wot''s become of him?"
33271Would it not be as well to report this shocking affair to the local authorities?"
33271Would it?
33271You are quite sure?"
33271You are that man, too?"
33271You ca n''t believe that Geoffrey Clavering had anything to do with it?"
33271You did n''t let him get past you, did you?"
33271You did, did you not?"
33271You do n''t mean to tell me it''s you?"
33271You found it out, then, at the garden door?"
33271You heard it, did n''t you?"
33271You really and truly_ mean_ it?"
33271You remember how I rushed past you at the time when Dollops had set me on the track of the lady in pink?
33271You saw the woman and you saw the person she came to meet?"
33271You say I wore an ermine cloak?"
33271You see how it came about, do you not?
33271You shall tell me, please, Mr. Narkom, is this the constable who was at the one end of the arch while the keeper was chasing the man in at the other?
33271You surely do not expect us to believe that a gentleman of Sir Philip Clavering''s standing was acting suspiciously?
33271You surely do not mean to tell me that Ailsa Lorne is in Wimbledon?"
33271You that man?
33271You think I''m likely to jest over it-- a thing that threatens the life of the girl I love?
33271You will remember, will you not, that I spoke of those two things: the spot of black and smudge of green?
33271You''re not a bit like yourself to- day-- is he, Ailsa?"
33271You?
33271_ Open?_ Why, man alive, it has been locked and screwed up for years."
33271_ you_ do n''t believe I had anything to do with this awful thing, do you?"
33271been flooring some one since I left you, General?
33271how can my disappearing for a night prove or disprove that?"
33271is this the end?"
33271not to jail?"
33271puff!--"Pink Gauze gave you the bracelet, eh?
33271rapped out Narkom in an excited but guarded tone, as he noted this,"Cleek, you have found something?
33271said Cleek bitterly; then, passionately:"Will you wake up, England?
33271so that was how the cat jumped, was it?
33271so that was the explanation of her ladyship''s presence on the Common last night, was it?
33271that brings me exactly opposite to where you stand, does n''t it?
33271the little reptile had n''t let her lead him into_ that_ folly, had he?
33271what are you doing to my ankles?"
33271what has come over you, Geoff?
33271what was a man like that a- doing of here?
33271what''s that?
33271what''s the fashion in evening petticoats these days?
33271what''s up?
33271when I thought.... Gawd''s truth, Constable, wot have you done with him?
33271women do n''t look far beneath the surface of things, do they, Barch?
33271you-- I---- Monsieur, shall I send my men for the fellow?
42906About this woman?
42906Adolph,I said,"can we two speak together in perfect confidence, as man to man?"
42906Again?
42906Am I, Becky-- eh? 42906 And murdered him?"
42906And then?
42906Any lives lost?
42906Anything particular to communicate, Sydney?
42906Are they from a book you are writing? 42906 Are you certain?"
42906Are you looking for Great Porter Square?
42906Are you really, really in earnest?
42906Are you satisfied with yourself for having done so?
42906Are you sure?
42906Blanche,said Fanny, with a quiver in her voice,"is there such a thing as a coal- cellar''ere?"
42906Can I do anything more for you to- night?
42906Can one man set the world right?
42906Can you?
42906Did I do my lesson well?
42906Did I not tell you?
42906Did your husband make a will?
42906Do you feel better, Fanny?
42906Do you forget,asked Mrs. Holdfast, in return,"that he had injured his hand, and that he did not wish to disclose his private affairs to a stranger?"
42906Do you not play?
42906Do you not understand?
42906Do you think he is here?
42906Do you think we are playing for life and death?
42906Do you vouch for him?
42906Does Becky live here?
42906Does that speak in her favour, or in his? 42906 Fanny,"she said aloud,"where''s your mother?"
42906Grace,I said,"shall I relate to you the story of Sydney Campbell?"
42906Has he gone to another hotel?
42906Have I, Becky, have I-- eh?
42906Have you never been in Monaco?
42906He has been to Chicago, has he not?
42906He was there at the time of the fire, and stopped at the Briggs''House?
42906How can I think ill of you?
42906How do we stand now?
42906How do you know that?
42906How do you know?
42906How much a year do you propose?
42906How should I recognise it?
42906I am to say that? 42906 I ca n''t stop''ere, then, Blanche?"
42906I should think he is, for such as you, Grace,said Mr. Pelham;"too goody- goody, eh, my girl?
42906In my confession am I to relate_ all_ that passed between Sydney Campbell and myself? 42906 In what way are you prepared?"
42906In what way do you account for the circumstance of your husband not writing to you after his return to London?
42906Indeed you can,replied Becky, tucking the old woman in;"you feel more comfortable now, do n''t you?"
42906Is it an absolute certainty that Frederick Holdfast is dead?
42906Is not one enough for such a little creature as me? 42906 Is nothing known about her-- where she came from, where she went to, whether she was a lady or a common woman?"
42906Is she there?
42906Is that all?
42906Is that something fresh about the murder next door?
42906Is that the reason,she asked,"why you seek to hide it from me?"
42906Is that unlike me?
42906It is a pretty name,I said, summoning all my fortitude and composure;"is it your only one?"
42906No?
42906Now?
42906O, Fanny, are you hungry?
42906On whose side?
42906Shall I tell you how many cabs you took this morning, and their numbers?
42906Starving? 42906 There are others, then, whose suspicions have been aroused?"
42906To your sister?
42906Was your husband in the habit of carrying much money about with him?
42906We approve of Mr. Pelham,said Sydney to Adolph;"have you any more cousins?"
42906What are you doing here?
42906What do you want to find out,said Lydia Holdfast;"about me?
42906What do you want-- what do you want?
42906What does it say?
42906What game do you play?
42906What is it?
42906What kind of company?
42906What man?
42906What of that? 42906 What was the lad''s motive in introducing Mr. Pelham to us with a falsehood?"
42906What will Grace say?
42906What would be too horrible to contemplate?
42906What would you advise me to do?
42906What''s the matter?
42906What_ can_ she say? 42906 When did you see Mr. Pelham last?"
42906Where are you going to sleep to- night?
42906Where is Great Porter Square?
42906Where is Mr. Holdfast now?
42906Where is the gentleman staying?
42906Who can doubt it?
42906Who can say what happened to him them? 42906 Who is it from?"
42906Who is she?
42906Who said she did not?
42906Why do you come to my room at such an hour in this unexpected manner?
42906Why should I lecture you about her?
42906Why, Fanny?
42906You are happy?
42906You ask me,I said,"what I can say against you?
42906You did not tell Sydney?
42906You do not mean to ask me whether Mr. Holdfast was enamoured of a woman with whom he made secret assignations? 42906 ''Ah,''says the amiable Mrs. Preedy,''what could induce''--your word is good--''what could induce one who was rich to live in such a neighbourhood?'' 42906 ''Do I wish to go?'' 42906 ''Do you wish to go?'' 42906 ''Is that a promise?'' 42906 ''Where is the gentleman staying?'' 42906 A dear friend of yours? 42906 Acting thus before me, who was armed against her, how would she act in the presence of my father, who had given her his heart? 42906 Am I a woman?'' 42906 Am I to be utterly abandoned-- utterly lost? 42906 And are you going to crush me, and send me wandering through the world again, with no one to love or sympathise with me? 42906 And the Brigg''s House and my father? 42906 Are not those the words used to persons who have been innocently led into error? 42906 Are you strong enough to hear some bad news, or will you wait till to- morrow? 42906 Are you well?
42906Becky touched Fanny''s clothes and cheek pityingly, and said,"Has it been like this long, Fanny?"
42906But it was not to be-- and it is too late now, is it not?
42906But was it possible, after all, that I could be mistaken?
42906But we ca n''t help our natures, can we?
42906But what can a poor devil do?
42906But will you not give me a chance?
42906But would not this be to attract to himself an amount of attention which would not be agreeable to him?
42906But, what can a weak woman like myself do when she is in the company of such a man as you?
42906Can I do nothing, nothing?"
42906Can you bear a great shock?"
42906Could I not apply to one of my former friends?
42906Could anything have happened to him in the wild part of the world in which Frederick had met his death?
42906Do I not know them, with their airs and affectations and false assumptions of superior virtue?
42906Do n''t you think it would?
42906Do you hear, Sydney?"
42906Do you know why I tell you these things?
42906Do you not know your lesson?"
42906Do you not remember those words?"
42906Do you not see that I am speaking reasonably?"
42906Do you remember my telling you in my first letter that an inspiration had fallen upon me when I conceived the idea?
42906Done?"
42906Even if I have committed an error through ignorance, should I not be allowed an opportunity to reform?
42906Fanny was asleep, and when Mrs. Preedy laid her hand on her, she moved, and murmured--"Is that you, Becky?"
42906First and foremost, is not Sydney Campbell, your friend and mine, is he not Grace''s accepted lover?
42906Had he discovered the treachery of the woman who had parted us, and was anxious for a reconciliation with me?
42906Have n''t I been magnanimous in trusting you with him-- haven''t I been confiding?
42906Have you no pity?
42906Have you saved him yet?"
42906He would hob- a- nob with the lowest and vilest, saying,"Human nature is much of a muchness; why give ourselves airs?
42906How about the murder in Great Porter Square?"
42906How about the murder in Great Porter Square?"
42906How can I hope to contend with you?
42906How could I obtain it?
42906How does it strike you?"
42906How is it you have not asked for an introduction to the most beautiful woman in the room?"
42906How then, will you speak?"
42906I am young still-- I look it, do n''t I?
42906I can trust you, eh, Becky?"
42906I must think a little-- you will not mind, will you?
42906I thought better of you; I did not believe you capable of harbouring such a suspicion against the dead?"
42906If a man loves me, can I help it?
42906If he loses, will you pay his losses, if he can not?"
42906If there had been Foul Play with my father, was it not reasonable to suppose that I, also, had been made the victim of clever tricksters?
42906In whose company would you rather be seen-- whose hand would you rather shake-- to whose honour would you rather trust your honour?"
42906Is that honest on her part towards Sydney?
42906It has been done over and over again, and the question then is, whose word has the greatest influence?
42906It will be necessary for you to attend and state, to the best of your belief, whether the body is that of your lost husband?"
42906Let it be a bargain between us-- for his sake?"
42906My father, returning to England in the Germanic, had never been heard of either at his house of business or at his home?
42906No?
42906Pretty-- too-- eh, Becky?"
42906Shall I answer for you?
42906Shall I tell you how I have worked it out in my mind?"
42906Strange, is n''t it, for me, a country girl, to be so fond of life and gaiety, and dancing and theatres?
42906Suddenly she turned her face close to mine, and said, in the same languid tone, but with a certain meaning in it,"Well?"
42906Sydney, meanwhile, had written another I   O   U for seven thousand pounds; he handed it to Mr. Pelham, saying,"You will give me my revenge?"
42906Tell me-- why did you introduce Mr. Pelham into Grace''s house as your cousin?
42906The question that now remains to be answered is-- Where is Mr. Holdfast''s son?
42906This time Adolph looked at Grace; she returned his look with a smile, which seemed to say,"Well?
42906Was that my fault?
42906What I wish to know is, whether you yourself have any suspicion?"
42906What answer can I make you?
42906What are you going to do with me?
42906What are you going to do with me?"
42906What brought me to my senses?
42906What can you say against me?
42906What conclusion was I to draw from this startling disclosure?
42906What could have induced a rich man to live in such a neighbourhood?"
42906What did I call Lydia Holdfast just now?
42906What did I say?
42906What did you say his name was, Frederick?"
42906What do you think?
42906What had happened?
42906What have you seen me do that you come here, because I happen to have married your father, to threaten and frighten me?
42906What is it Shakespeare says about wearing your heart upon your sleeve?
42906What is the use of living, if one has not the courage of his opinions?
42906What motive had he for mysterious concealment?
42906What now was I to do?
42906What of it?
42906What should induce him here?
42906What was his motive for this proceeding?
42906What, then, had become of him?
42906What, then?
42906When we were alone, I said,"Sydney, what impelled you to introduce a lady into this assembly under a false name?"
42906Where is the young lady at the present moment?"
42906Where shall I see you?"
42906Wherefore?
42906Who was she, and why had I not been informed of the engagement or invited to the wedding?
42906Who will take the bank at roulette?
42906Whom could I enlist to aid me?
42906Whom would you choose for your friend, Mr. Pelham or Sydney Campbell?
42906Why did I not grow up into the likeness of an ugly old witch----?"
42906Why not let things remain as they are-- why should not you and I be friends, only outwardly, if you like, to save your father from pain?
42906Will you?"
42906Would these letters lead to a reconciliation?
42906Would you like to see it?"
42906You do not mind my calling you Frederick, do you?
42906You do not-- a-- despise me because I am thus?"
42906You hold a great deal of my paper?"
42906You overheard a conversation between me and Pelham-- what of that?
42906You shrink; why?
42906You understand, Fanny?"
42906You understand?"
42906You will come to the cottage?"
42906You will not be too, too cruel?
42906You would not be glad-- you would not laugh, if so it should be?"
45627Ai n''t you goin''to let me in on the fun, partner?
45627Airships did you say, Jack?
45627All fixed, are we brother?
45627And if it ai n''t a dead secret would you mind tellin''me what sort of a jaunt we''re pushed on to this time-- is it to be a hunt, partner?
45627And what makes you feel that way, Perk?
45627But just the same you ai n''t any too-- er-- sanguine-- is that the word I want, partner? 45627 Come far, sir?"
45627Crater Lake, Jack?
45627Did you manage to save him, sir-- tell us-- or-- or was it too late?
45627Do we leave him there, after comin''so far to help the poor lad? 45627 Do you mean air- mail crates or some of those pilots who''re searching for signs of Buddy Warner?"
45627Every feller had his hand in but poor me; what''ve I done to be cheated out o''my share like I was a baby? 45627 Expected to meet up with some muck like this I guess, eh, partner?"
45627Forgot to ask you whether they''d learned anything about our lost friend, Buddy Warner-- how about it, Perk?
45627Four thousand feet an''more, eh?
45627Glory be Jack, an''what have you got in that wise coco o''yourn, if it''s all right for you to up an''spill the game?
45627Gosh amighty Jack, did you see me knock the ole hippopotamus silly when I opened on him right smart? 45627 Got any sort o''idee where we might be right now, Jack?"
45627How long we been kickin''through this mess?
45627I kinder guess you''re itchin''to get our bearings again Jack?
45627Is it too badly wrecked for you to fix up so I can pull out of this awful hole and take off again?
45627Jest see how the''ve changed a heap o''the instruments we used to swear by in them days o''the big war over in France, eh Jack? 45627 Joke hey?
45627Listen, Jack-- don''t you hear it ahead there?
45627Meanin''to get seven winks o''sleep, ai n''t you?
45627Never say die, eh? 45627 No wildcat skirmishin'', an''heatin''about the bush for_ you_, eh partner?"
45627Pretty girl this time struck you where your heart is soft, eh, buddy?
45627So that''s all settled, hey? 45627 Tell me, did you come through this crash without being seriously hurt yourself?"
45627That bally English doctor wanted to take the arm off-- said it''d save my life, but what use would life be to a birdman with only one arm? 45627 Then the mystery is as deep as ever and they have n''t yet found out what happened to poor Buddy?"
45627We''ll help you get them out o''the bus, lady,he hastened to say;"if so be you''ll kindly show us where they be-- ain''t that so, partner?"
45627What about, old pal?
45627What ails you now, comrade?
45627What''s goin''to be done about it, eh partner?
45627Whatever ailed you Perk, to set that thing going like mad?
45627Where to, Jack-- north, east, south or west?
45627Whereabouts?
45627Who knows, Perk?
45627You are searching for him, I take it for granted?
45627A sort o''yearnin'', hopin''but kinder afraid things might n''t turn out so well in the end?"
45627Ai n''t there a way for us to slant down an''drop on that sandy shore his boat''s restin''on?
45627An''what did you think was the worst story in the bunch, Jack old hoss?"
45627Bart Hicks played one on his unsuspectin''guests then, did he?"
45627But say, things keep on pilin''up worse than I ever ran across in all my whole life-- look at what''s ahead there-- can you beat it, Jack?"
45627Could anything be said to make a mother''s heart thrill more with joy-- or that of Buddy''s best girl also?
45627Did you notice them sitting there when we came in?"
45627Did you say you would take a look at my ship and find out what''s wrong?
45627Do you agree with me, sir?"
45627Do you think they are working on the same lines as the rest of us?"
45627Get that now, brother, do you?"
45627Hang it all, why could n''t I have been doin''some other sorter job where they might''a''let me off for a spell?
45627Hey there, Cyclone, where''d you pop up from, old pard?"
45627However did it happen you picked out this place to come down in, or was it just by a rare chance?
45627I get you, partner,"he mumbled, not yet thoroughly aroused,"watchman, how goes the night, eh Jack, old hoss?"
45627I reckon now you''re meaning an eagle, eh Perk?"
45627I sure do hope now they ai n''t meanin''to bust in on our fine ship an''play hob with her-- wouldn''t that jar you though, partner?"
45627I''ll promise to wake you up inside of three hours when you can take charge while I hit the hay-- how about that arrangement, boy?"
45627Is that really and truly smoke curling up from over there?"
45627It may assist me to remember the particular instance out of the hundreds I handled?"
45627Jack, do you think they know who we are and got some sort o''grudge against us on''count o''the trade we foller, eh, what?"
45627Jack, whatever c''n it mean, do you reckon?"
45627Know him, Perk?"
45627Mebbe you''ve noticed me takin''a look all around once in a while-- up in the air, I mean?
45627Must they turn back, and possibly spend yet another dreary night in the little valley town, dispirited and with the poor girl in despair?
45627Now, what about putting me wise to the game that was sprung on you tonight?"
45627Now, what next I wonder?"
45627Oh my stars, c''n it be possible we''ve run on to poor Buddy Warner so clost to help an''him stuck there like a pig in a poke all this while?
45627Ready for it?"
45627Remember that, will you, Cyclone?"
45627Say, ai n''t that worth comin''out here to see?
45627Shake hands with me, will you?
45627Tear in an''tell a feller what it all was about, wo n''t you?"
45627The dirty scoundrels-- wantin''to give you a_ ride_, was they?
45627V WHEN A COG SLIPPED"What''s up, partner?"
45627Want me to keep that right along, Boss?"
45627We sure do strike the strangest happening in our line o''work, do n''t we?"
45627What genuine reason could a girl have for such an overwhelming desire for action?
45627What if the fool bird plunges madly at our ship?
45627What should they do about it?
45627What was this he saw projecting from the lake close to the shore?
45627What was to hinder them seeking it out again, and finding a safe harbor for the hours of darkness?
45627What will happen to us all?"
45627What will poor Mother Warner say when she fails to hear from me as I promised?
45627What''s the use ruining his hide?
45627Where was the strange hermit of Crater Lake?
45627Why did he not show himself when he surely must have watched their coming and successful descent?
45627Why should she show such a yearning for a chance to continue her flight?
45627Would their entire day be put in without a breath of cheering hope?
45627all set now for another long spin, combin''the country as we go along, eh partner?"
45627now ai n''t that the rottenest luck ever?"
45627so that''s the bully sort of life you fellers in the Secret Service lead, is it?"
45627ventured Perk, in a tone of injured innocence,"when did this beat in on us, buddy?"
45627what d''ye think o''that measly rum- runner bobbin''up like a floatin''cork to annoy us again?"
45627what is it, old hoss?"
45627what was_ that_ now?"
45627what''s this I''m seein''partner?"
45627why was n''t there three bums in the bunch, just enough to go around; dang''em, why did they want to crab my game like that?"
3776A big P with a flourish above it, E and N smaller?
3776A fine room, is it not?
3776A penitentiary job?
3776A stranger in these parts?
3776Ames, the butler--"What about him? 3776 Ames,"he said, when the butler entered,"where is Mr. Cecil Barker now?"
3776An arrest?
3776And blew out the candle?
3776And he never mentioned any names?
3776And how do you consider that all this bears upon the general case?
3776And how do you propose to prove all this?
3776And how?
3776And it arrived very speedily?
3776And then you were together five years in California, so that this business dates back not less than eleven years at the least?
3776And what is it we are watching for?
3776And where may that be?
3776And who bought the ironworks of Manson and of Shuman and of Van Deher and of Atwood, which have all been given up of late?
3776And who bought the mines of Todman and of Lee that came into the market in the same way last year?
3776And who the devil is he?
3776And who told you?
3776And why no arrest? 3776 And why the missing ring?"
3776And you accept the rule of the Bodymaster for the time being under all circumstances?
3776And you refused it?
3776And you were told to see me?
3776And you, Mr. White Mason?
3776Any reward this time?
3776Anything fresh, Sergeant Wilson?
3776Are n''t you?
3776Are the brethren satisfied?
3776Are you a member of the union?
3776Are you of stout heart?
3776Are you quick of action?
3776At what o''clock was it raised?
3776Ay, what''s the game?
3776Baldwin-- he speaks like that, does he?
3776But for what motive?
3776But if a man had a danger hanging over him, and knew what it was, do n''t you think he would turn to the police for protection?
3776But this man-- your friend-- has he any other person that he would be likely to write to?
3776But what can he do?
3776But what do you allow that we should do about it?
3776But what is the use of a cipher message without the cipher?
3776But why''Douglas''and''Birlstone''?
3776But why?
3776But, I say, are n''t we wasting precious time? 3776 By its light you saw that some terrible incident had occurred?"
3776Ca n''t keep out of it, can you? 3776 Can a husband ever carry about a secret all his life and a woman who loves him have no suspicion of it?
3776Can you bear pain?
3776Can you give us any idea how long your husband had been downstairs before you heard the shot?
3776Can you remember, Ames, what Mr. Barker had on his feet last night when you joined him in the study?
3776Could this have any connection with the crime?
3776D''ye think I''m ashamed of my own name?
3776D''you know what that means?
3776Dear me, Watson, is it possible that you have not penetrated the fact that the case hangs upon the missing dumb- bell? 3776 Did I ask you for your advice, or did you think me such a sucker that I could n''t move without it?
3776Did n''t I tell you he shot Jim Carnaway?
3776Did n''t he ask you why you did n''t bring him the papers?
3776Did n''t you? 3776 Did you come to see him?
3776Did you ever know him to cut himself in shaving before?
3776Did you ever trouble to see who called for them?
3776Did you know Mrs. Douglas before her marriage?
3776Did you not? 3776 Did you see no one?"
3776Do n''t we?
3776Do you reckon he knows much?
3776Do you tell me that we have to sit down under this? 3776 Do you tell me,"said the sergeant,"that the wedding ring was below the other?"
3776Does anyone else know of this?
3776Does anyone know him by sight?
3776Get what?
3776Hate you, Jack? 3776 Have you ever heard where his first wife came from?"
3776Have you ever read of Jonathan Wild?
3776Have you found anything out yet?
3776Have you heard him speak of anything which occurred in America and might bring some danger upon him?
3776Have you heard nothing of doings hereabouts?
3776He had no rival?
3776He was a bachelor, you say?
3776He was murdered?
3776How came this man to have anything to do with it?
3776How can you prove that?
3776How could I have heard of him when you know that I am a stranger in these parts?
3776How deep is it?
3776How did you know it, then?
3776How did you know that?
3776How do I know that they are lying? 3776 How do you know he was n''t a newspaper man?"
3776How do you know this?
3776How in thunder came you to know anything about it?
3776How long have you allowed us to waste ourselves upon a search that you knew to be an absurd one?
3776How long is this to last?
3776How long were you with Douglas in California?
3776How many will you take?
3776How''s that, then?
3776How''s the arm?
3776I do n''t think we have met before, Councillor?
3776I have told you, have I not, that you are too late? 3776 I''d like to know,"said McMurdo,"how you ever came to learn that I had spoken with Morris at all?"
3776In trouble?
3776Is he here? 3776 Is he on his own or is he entirely in with them?"
3776Is it a promise?
3776Is it by the police? 3776 Is it not?
3776Is it suicide, or is it murder-- that''s our first question, gentlemen, is it not? 3776 Is it you that would dispute it?"
3776Is it?
3776Is n''t it?
3776Is n''t the place full of police and detectives and what harm did they ever do us?
3776Is she?
3776It''s your first, is it not? 3776 John McMurdo,"said the voice,"are you already a member of the Ancient Order of Freemen?"
3776Make a move?
3776May I smoke as I talk? 3776 Maybe Miss Ettie has told you how it is with us?"
3776Might I ask,asked Holmes,"what the words were which attracted your attention?"
3776Mr. Treasurer,he asked,"may I ask who has bought the property of this man that we have driven out of the district?"
3776My name''s Jack McMurdo-- see? 3776 No tracks or marks?"
3776Nor against me?
3776Not here?
3776Of the lodge?
3776Oh, it''s Jack, is it?
3776Oh, it''s like that, is it?
3776Oh, that was it?
3776Oh, that''s your ruling, is it?
3776Oh, you think so, do you? 3776 Or Herman Strauss?"
3776So you are good enough to pass my appearance?
3776So,said he with a furious glance at McMurdo,"you got here first, did you?
3776Someone else?
3776Still on the track of the elusive bicyclist?
3776Sun in your eyes and his face in the shadow?
3776Suppose I had been first, Ettie, would I have had a chance?
3776Sure, what is murder? 3776 Surely you asked him what he meant by the Valley of Fear?"
3776That was six years ago?
3776The police?
3776Then how could any murderer have got away? 3776 Then how did you get at Mr. Douglas and the fact that he had been horribly murdered?"
3776Then how do you know about his rooms?
3776Then the truth is too bad to tell?
3776Then what do you suggest that we do?
3776Then why did you leave?
3776Then why has he not indicated the book?
3776There is nothing there, no sign that anyone has landed-- but why should he leave any sign?
3776They both claim the head money given by the lodge for the shooting of old man Crabbe over at Stylestown, and who''s to say which fired the bullet?
3776They have to-- else how can we get him?
3776This professor that I''ve heard you mention?
3776Was he a politician? 3776 Was the door open?"
3776Was there anything curious about his life in California?
3776We have heard from Mr. Cecil Barker that you did not actually see-- that you were never in the room where the tragedy occurred?
3776Well, Holmes,I murmured,"have you found anything out?"
3776Well, did you think of such a thing when you joined the Freeman''s society at Chicago?
3776Well, have you anything more?
3776Well, then,she cried,"why will you not show me the letter?"
3776Well, what are we to do now?
3776Well, what happened?
3776Well, what have you to say?
3776Well, what if I am?
3776Well, what is it?
3776Well?
3776Well?
3776Well?
3776Were these men Americans-- Californians?
3776What Bodymaster?
3776What about Archie Swindon?
3776What about Birlstone?
3776What about the shotgun?
3776What affairs?
3776What am I accused of?
3776What are we here for at all? 3776 What are you after, anyhow?"
3776What are you loitering there for?
3776What did you tell him, then?
3776What do you mean by''appears''? 3776 What else could I do if you trusted me?
3776What for?
3776What has the man done?
3776What has this to do with the matter you are investigating?
3776What have we to fear, anyhow? 3776 What impression has my evidence made upon you?"
3776What in thunder has that to do with you? 3776 What is it here?"
3776What is it, then?
3776What is the latest news of the ruffian?
3776What is your evidence for this, Brother McMurdo?
3776What o''clock were those curtains drawn?
3776What papers?
3776What sort of a man is he?
3776What sort of fool''s talk is this? 3776 What sort of men?"
3776What the devil d''you mean by that?
3776What the devil is the meaning of all this?
3776What the hell is it to you who are my friends?
3776What think you of our ways, Brother?
3776What were they?
3776What were you doing?
3776What would you do?
3776What''s V. V.? 3776 What''s come over you, Jack?"
3776What''s that?
3776What''s this mark?
3776What''s this?
3776What''s wrong with the order? 3776 What, does he hate the police too?"
3776When was that?
3776When you entered the room there was only a candle lighted on the table, was there not?
3776When?
3776When?
3776Where are the slippers now?
3776Where is he, then? 3776 Where''s your warrant?"
3776Where?
3776Who are they?
3776Who are you to interfere-- you that are new to the lodge? 3776 Who are you, I''d like to know, to break into a house in this fashion and molest honest, law- abiding men?"
3776Who are you?
3776Who is this?
3776Who is your district ruler?
3776Who then is Porlock?
3776Who then?
3776Who will volunteer for the job?
3776Why did he shoot him?
3776Why did he write at all? 3776 Why did you not put your name to the note?"
3776Why did you shoot him?
3776Why do you say''in this instance''?
3776Why not go right down now and fix him?
3776Why not?
3776Why not?
3776Why should we not leave together?
3776Why the coal country?
3776Why were you so scared of me? 3776 Why wo n''t you tell me?"
3776Will you ruin your life and my own for the sake of this promise? 3776 You are aware,"said he,"that the dead man''s wedding ring has been taken from his finger?"
3776You at once rang for help?
3776You do n''t associate his past with any particular part of America?
3776You found something compromising?
3776You have already sworn the oath of secrecy and fidelity, and you are aware that the punishment for any breach of it is instant and inevitable death?
3776You have no reason to think it was criminal?
3776You have not had a cable, have you?
3776You mean that he has a great income and that he must earn it in an illegal fashion?
3776You mean that someone waded across the moat?
3776You mean that you think there was no accident?
3776You met Mr. Douglas in a boarding house in London, did you not, and became engaged to him there? 3776 You never heard any speculation as to what it meant?"
3776You sat in front of his writing desk?
3776You think it will come to that?
3776You think then, definitely, that Barker and Mrs. Douglas are guilty of the murder?
3776You think there is someone behind him?
3776You would n''t kill this man?
3776You would n''t squeal on a fellow?
3776You would not inform?
3776You would throw over one that has stood by you this five years in favour of a man that you never saw before in your life? 3776 You''ll be the new captain?"
3776You''ll do it, then?
3776You''ve come to that already, have you?
3776Your work?
3776--''Are we never to get out of the Valley of Fear?''
377629, Chicago?"
3776A gang of murderers, are they not?"
3776Ai n''t that so, or am I wrong?"
3776Am I to lose my life''s chance and all my heart''s desire for someone else?
3776Ames, I understand that you have often seen this very unusual mark-- a branded triangle inside a circle-- upon Mr. Douglas''s forearm?"
3776And ca n''t I speak alone with a gentleman for five minutes but you must butt in on us?"
3776And how in the world has he got away without it?
3776And if I was scared when a hand fell on me, ca n''t you understand it when it might have been the hand of a detective?"
3776Are there not fifty murders to prove it?
3776Are we not free folks in a free country?
3776Are you ready to be a cold- blooded murderer also, or can we do anything to stop it?"
3776Are you ready to be tested?"
3776As to the lodge, was n''t it the order of the Bodymaster that the man was not to be killed-- and what are you doing but killing him?"
3776Baldwin?"
3776Barker?"
3776Besides, if I wanted to, how could I do it?
3776Besides, what is there to be afraid of?
3776But I would ask you how did this man know that you lived here, or how to get into your house, or where to hide to get you?"
3776But did she tell you who it vas?"
3776But his description-- what of that?"
3776But how do you propose to lay your hands on the so- called Porlock?"
3776But if you are a Freeman, Jack, why should you not go down and make a friend of Boss McGinty?
3776But what do you gather from it?"
3776But what in the name of all that is wonderful made the fellow leave it behind?
3776But what is the truth?
3776But what''s the game, Mr. Holmes-- what''s the game?"
3776But why this gun, of all weapons?"
3776But why-- what''s amiss with the names?"
3776But you''ve heard of Pinkerton''s?"
3776But, hullo, who''s the visitor?"
3776By the way, you have that big umbrella of yours, have you not?"
3776Can we for our present practical needs get any further than that?"
3776Can we have the butler in for a moment?
3776Can you make anything of the inscription, Ames?"
3776Chapter 5 The People Of the Drama"Have you seen all you want of the study?"
3776Could n''t I earn ten times as much in my own bedroom with four hours''work?"
3776Could n''t we start out and scour the country before the fellow gets away?"
3776Could you take me away?"
3776Did Morris say nothing to you against the lodge?"
3776Did Mr. Douglas entirely approve your friendship with his wife?"
3776Did he seem to scent a trap?"
3776Did n''t I say to you that it would end in murder?"
3776Did n''t you say that you have sent him money?"
3776Did you get anything else?"
3776Did you happen to observe a picture over the professor''s head?"
3776Did you observe that in life?"
3776Do they go up too?"
3776Do you back out?"
3776Do you carry the names of all the gun makers in the world in your memory?"
3776Do you say that no one can ever get level with this king- devil?"
3776Do you suppose that Ted Baldwin has ever forgiven us?
3776Do you think it could not stretch from here to Philadelphia or New York?"
3776Do you think there is no weaker brother among all our lodges that could not be bought?
3776Does that make any impression on your mind?"
3776Does that strike you as very probable, Watson?"
3776Does that suggest anything to you?
3776Had this secret society to do with politics?"
3776Had you noticed anything unusual in his conduct, yesterday, Ames?"
3776Have I not said enough to show the men and their methods?
3776Have n''t we tried that before now, and what ever came of it?"
3776Have we reached the limits of what reason can supply?"
3776Have you any friends?"
3776Have you any of the sort in the house?"
3776Have you heard anything of the lodge in these parts?"
3776Holmes?"
3776Holmes?"
3776Holmes?"
3776Holmes?"
3776Holmes?"
3776Holmes?"
3776How am I to know that you are not a married man-- you, a stranger, that nobody knows?"
3776How could I give it up when it would be to break my oath and to desert my comrades?
3776How could he swear there was no such gun in the house?"
3776How could he?"
3776How could they be so sure that the sound of it would not bring someone on to them?
3776How did he acquire wealth?
3776How did you hear of him?
3776How long are we to endure it?
3776How would he know this Pinkerton man?"
3776I guess you are new to this part, young man?"
3776I reckon the lodge will learn to be proud of you.... Well, what the hell do you want?
3776I say to you, Ted Baldwin, what is the offense, sir?"
3776I take it for granted that since dawn every constable within forty miles has been looking out for a wet stranger?"
3776I''ve heard that there is no harm in being a Freeman anywhere but here; so why should I think the worse of you for that?
3776If it were not that he fears you, what do you suppose our chances would be?
3776If you could get a bag of blasting powder at the front door with a slow match to it--""What''s the man done?"
3776If you love me, and I you, who will dare to come between?"
3776If you want me, you''ll find me at Jacob Shafter''s on Sheridan Street, Vermissa; so I''m not hiding from you, am I?
3776In God''s name what shall I do?"
3776Is Birdy Edwards here?"
3776Is he reliable?"
3776Is it for such results as this that our great country welcomes to its bosom the alien who flies from the despotisms of Europe?
3776Is it forgery, coining, burglary-- where does the money come from?"
3776Is it not?
3776Is n''t it common enough in these parts?"
3776Is the water always turbid?"
3776Is there a man or a voman in this valley vat does not know it?"
3776Is this a man to traduce?
3776It came like that, did it?"
3776It is, I admit, mere imagination; but how often is imagination the mother of truth?
3776Mac?"
3776Mac?"
3776McMurdo?"
3776Now your mind is easy once again, is it not?"
3776Or is it by the law courts and the judge?
3776Perhaps you hate me too, now that I''ve told you as much?"
3776Pray what more could I do?
3776Ready?
3776Say, can you make those dollars yet?"
3776See here, Morris, will you leave this thing in my hands?"
3776See?"
3776So far we are within the bounds of possibility, are we not?"
3776Someone in a novel, was he not?
3776Standback?"
3776Supposing that a matter were brought confidentially to his knowledge, is it absolutely necessary that he should pass it on to the detectives?"
3776Sure, have we not tried it often enough in the law courts?
3776Tell me, Friend MacDonald, this pleasing and touching interview was, I suppose, in the professor''s study?"
3776That does not seem a very likely start, does it?"
3776That''s good impartial evidence, ai n''t it?
3776The blunt accusation, the brutal tap upon the shoulder-- what can one make of such a denouement?
3776The cipher message begins with a large 534, does it not?
3776The question I''m asking you is what shall we say to him?"
3776This man Pinto helped me to shove the queer--""To do what?"
3776This was what McMurdo read: How are the Scowrers getting on in your parts?
3776Vat about Milman and Van Shorst, and the Nicholson family, and old Mr. Hyam, and little Billy James, and the others?
3776Was I right?"
3776Was it crime last night when a man old enough to be your father was beaten till the blood dripped from his white hairs?
3776Was it my imagination that there was an undertone of fear rather than of hope in the question?
3776Was it to your wife that you were writing?
3776Was that crime-- or what else would you call it?"
3776Was there any robbery?"
3776Was there any romance, anything secret or mysterious, about the wedding?"
3776Was there nothing to identify this man?"
3776Watson?"
3776We do seem to make a little progress, do we not?
3776Well, what is it now?"
3776What I ask you now is how do I stand by the English law?"
3776What about him?
3776What are you all afraid of?
3776What are you but the paid tool of the capitalists, hired by them to club or shoot your poorer fellow citizen?"
3776What are you doing here?"
3776What can he know of our affairs?"
3776What chance have you against a dozen of them, with Boss McGinty and all the power of the lodge behind them?"
3776What could I do?
3776What d''you think of me?"
3776What do you make of that, Watson?"
3776What do you think he pays him?"
3776What do you think of pure reason and its fruit?
3776What does he mean by allowing his retreat to be cut off like that?
3776What does he mean by using a shotgun when silence was his one chance of escape?
3776What does the Mahratta government do?
3776What has happened since then to give you a completely new idea of the case?"
3776What have I ever said or done that you should think I would be after standing back from an order of the Bodymaster of my own lodge?
3776What in the whole wide world can be the connection between this dead painting man and the affair at Birlstone?"
3776What indications have we as to this book?"
3776What is the meaning of this?"
3776What is the result?
3776What made you come here?"
3776What other indications have we as to the nature of this large book?
3776What possible connection could she have with an American assassin which would cause her to shelter him?"
3776What then is left?"
3776What was he to do next?
3776What weapon would he choose?
3776What were they doing, and why did they not instantly give the alarm?
3776What were you speaking to Brother Morris about on Miller Hill this morning?"
3776What''s this under the side table?"
3776What''s this, Mr. Holmes?
3776Where are you bound for now?"
3776Where are you staying?"
3776Where in the name of all that is wonderful did you get those names?"
3776Where is he?
3776Where shall we know him?"
3776Where were you made?"
3776Where would be that thrill if I had been as definite as a timetable?
3776Where''s the other?"
3776Who are the Scowrers?"
3776Who are you that you should take it on yourself to ask such things?"
3776Who is he, and where shall I find him?"
3776Who is the fellow?
3776Why a cut- off shotgun of all weapons-- and an American one at that?
3776Why are they lying, and what is the truth which they are trying so hard to conceal?
3776Why did he not simply drop it?"
3776Why did you come to me?"
3776Why did you leave Chicago?"
3776Why did your guilty couple do all this, Watson?"
3776Why else should you hold it from me?
3776Why have n''t you seen Boss McGinty yet?"
3776Why should I be surprised?
3776Why should I pull her into it?
3776Why should he?
3776Why should these pages be stained by further crimes?
3776Why should we not get him?"
3776Will that content you?"
3776Will you come?"
3776Will you fix it, Brother Baldwin?"
3776With that?"
3776Wood?"
3776Would the Bodymaster see to it that suitable arrangements be made for their lodgings and comfort until the time for action should arrive?
3776Would there be any objection, Mr. White Mason, to our going down to the house at once?
3776Would you be asking me to break my oath?"
3776Would you mind coming over and speaking to Mrs. Douglas for one instant?"
3776Would you trust me?"
3776You do n''t suppose that the lodge would let a man go free with all its secrets?"
3776You followed him next year, did you not?"
3776You have heard me speak of Professor Moriarty?"
3776You have known your husband only in England, have you not?"
3776You''ve seen how he''s been opening his mouth against us again?"
3776have you never heard of the boss?"
3776is that so?"
30450''Us''?
30450A message? 30450 A monk in a mask?
30450A monk? 30450 A queer customer, eh?
30450Afraid for his safety?
30450All right?
30450Am I to understand you have left my roof?
30450And there is no definite clue to the murderer?
30450And you?
30450And-- what are you going to do about it?
30450Another fire?
30450Any news, Charlie?
30450Anything serious?
30450Anything special, Miss Copley?
30450Are n''t ye up early to- night?
30450Are you a Hambleton girl?
30450Are you a friend of Simon''s?
30450Are you much hurt? 30450 Are you?"
30450Are_ you_ October Copley?
30450As for what''s the matter-- well, we need n''t wander off into pathology, need we? 30450 Aunt Ocky, will you come and live with us when we are really settled?
30450Aunt Ocky, you''ll let me know, wo n''t you, as soon as my mother wakes up? 30450 Aye?"
30450Bates, has any one called?
30450Been with Mrs. Varr long?
30450But how did_ you_?
30450But there are buildings in the yard whose loss might have hit you hard?
30450But under the circumstances-- with your sister ill-- haven''t you enough trouble on your hands?
30450But what would a monk be doing on a private path through this property? 30450 But what''s a man to do if people hold out on him?"
30450But, what can he do in New York?
30450By the way, Simon, are you going to be at the office this morning?
30450By the way, how is Mrs. Varr standing the shock?
30450By the way, what is his name?
30450Ca n''t you let a man have a minute''s peace?
30450Can a possibly innocent man be held just on suspicion like that? 30450 Can you teach an old dog new tricks?"
30450Cautious devil, was n''t he?
30450Charlie Maxon?
30450Charlie Maxon?
30450Clever little hellion, ai n''t he?
30450Coppie, is n''t it a_ love_ of a place? 30450 Could it be-- her?"
30450Could you hear what they said?
30450Could you tell how he was dressed?
30450Creighton-- you in here?
30450D''you suppose I''d fire a man unless I saw my way free of that difficulty? 30450 Despise me?
30450Did Maxon do it?
30450Did Varr ever wrong any one to the extent of driving them to murder him?
30450Did he speak to you?
30450Did it ever occur to you, Bates, that you can learn a lot about the cook by looking at the cat?
30450Did n''t Bates tell you that?
30450Did you ask, Copley?
30450Did you notice three solid- looking citizens in the hall when you arrived? 30450 Did you pass each other after you met?"
30450Did you say''afraid''?
30450Did you see them, Miss Copley?
30450Did you think I''d encourage you to let Maxon rot in jail just to humor your quixotic notions about gossip and a woman''s name? 30450 Did you try prayer, Bates?"
30450Did, eh? 30450 Did_ she_ do it?"
30450Did_ you_ write''Thibetan Trails,''''Passages from Persia''and those bully Chinese things with the queer title?
30450Do n''t like it?
30450Do n''t you see? 30450 Do n''t you suppose I know that?"
30450Do n''t you suppose that thought hurt her?
30450Do n''t you understand that? 30450 Do you know, Simon, that about twenty of our best men have left town in the last two weeks?
30450Do you remember if you mentioned it to any one?
30450Do you remember that afternoon at the tannery when I said I''d like just for once to find out something before you did? 30450 Do you suppose Norvallis is making any progress with_ his_ case?"
30450Do you suspect any one?
30450Do you take me for a blasted fool?
30450Doctor worried about her?
30450Does any one, Miss Ocky?
30450Does n''t Maxon wear a dark- blue flannel shirt?
30450Does n''t a quarrel depend somewhat on the natures of the two people involved, Mr. Creighton? 30450 Does n''t the recovery of this notebook technically end your commission?
30450Done to him? 30450 Doubt?
30450Drives a car, does she? 30450 Eh?
30450Eh? 30450 Eh?
30450Eh? 30450 Eh?
30450Er-- happy, and all that sort of thing?
30450Every one asleep, I suppose?
30450Excuse me, Miss Copley-- just who are you? 30450 Find any?"
30450Fingerprints?
30450First, then-- I suppose you know that you have played the cat- and- banjo with Lucy''s happiness for the last twenty- odd years?
30450Footprints? 30450 Found a union to support you, eh?"
30450Found none at all?
30450Get it?
30450Gettin''cold feet, huh? 30450 Going to bed so soon?"
30450Got a minute to show me?
30450Got a shock, did you?
30450Gracious goodness, Copley, is n''t there something more in life than money? 30450 Graham say anythin''?"
30450Hand her over to the police-- as you should?
30450Has she been with you long?
30450Has that got the notes of your new formula in it, Simon?
30450Have I said anything about suspecting him?
30450Have a nice time at the Bolts?
30450Have n''t we an explanation for that in Kitty''s telegram? 30450 Have the police any idea who did it?"
30450Have you any one in mind?
30450Have you any other information, or evidence, or exhibit, for me?
30450Have you found anything here?
30450Have you given her a chance to speak for herself?
30450Have you seen Steiner this afternoon?
30450Have you-- told Lucy?
30450He might have thought it better to-- to strike while the striking was good? 30450 He thinks he is going to make trouble for me, eh?
30450He was in the building when you saw him?
30450He would, eh? 30450 He''s got friends, ai n''t he?"
30450He''s having a row with the boy, is he?
30450How about the back door? 30450 How can you be sure?"
30450How did he come to tell you?
30450How did he get the dagger? 30450 How did that happen?
30450How did you find out?
30450How did you learn that?
30450How do they trace the dagger to Maxon?
30450How do you know?
30450How in thunder_ can_ he? 30450 How large were they, do you remember?"
30450How many people knew that I was coming, do you suppose?
30450How would they get their jobs back if they let the whole outfit burn? 30450 Huh?
30450Huh? 30450 Huh?
30450Huh? 30450 I can count on you, then, to help us in the matter of locating that notebook?"
30450I expect you''d like to know how I stumbled on to the truth--? 30450 I guess you know your way around, eh, Moody?"
30450I recognize the thing, though I''ve never bothered to read it; Jennison''s''History of Wayne County,''is n''t it? 30450 I suppose you know that''s his beloved tannery a- fire down there?"
30450I was just thinking, sir-- are we sure of proving it against him? 30450 I was rather expecting a friend of mine--""Mr. Krech?
30450I''m afraid it will annoy you-- but most things do, do n''t they? 30450 I''ve heard you addressed once or twice as''Miss Ocky,''and I''ve been wondering just what the abbreviation stands for?"
30450If Bolt can have a second string to his bow, why ca n''t you have a couple of employers?
30450If I turn up anything good I''ll let you know, and I can hope for as much from you, ca n''t I?
30450If it was n''t either a striker or a person actuated by the desire for gain,said Krech,"who is left?
30450If laying down your life for a friend exemplifies the greater love, what of a woman who lays down her reputation? 30450 If she recovers, what will you do?"
30450Is an interview with William Graham one of them?
30450Is everything all right, sir?
30450Is her son with her still?
30450Is it--?
30450Is my aunt in there? 30450 Is that all of it?"
30450Is that the knife that was used?
30450Is the Maxon theory sound?
30450Is there anything Mrs. Bolt or my wife can do? 30450 Is there anything more, sir?"
30450Is there anything special I''m to try and find out?
30450Is there? 30450 Is this Miss Copley?"
30450Is um itty- witty baby happy, then?
30450It seems to link the two crimes, does n''t it?
30450It was, eh? 30450 It''s no use to you?"
30450It''s pouring, is n''t it?
30450Janet?
30450Jean, what''s a_ sus domesticus_?
30450Judge Taylor, you had charge of my father''s will, did n''t you? 30450 Kitchen garden, was n''t it?
30450Knew that, did you? 30450 Know him, Miss Copley?"
30450Know what this means?
30450Krech, do they know what time Varr was murdered?
30450Krech, how did this happen? 30450 Krech, will you step down there and get that for me?
30450Krech? 30450 Large as those?"
30450Listen-- how long will it be before another of those attacks comes on?
30450Lonely?
30450Make anything of them?
30450Maple? 30450 Maxon, sir?"
30450Maxon, sir?
30450May I ask again,said Miss Ocky plaintively,"who is this Peter Creighton?
30450May I have a chat with you sometime, Judge?
30450May I speak frankly, or shall we adjourn to the house by our two selves?
30450Me? 30450 Meanwhile,"said Creighton,"what''s going on in the house?
30450Memory gone_ phut_, Simon? 30450 Mind if I light the lamp?"
30450Miss Copley? 30450 Miss Ocky, why did you do it?
30450Mr. Creighton, is n''t it, sir? 30450 Mr. Creighton, is n''t it?
30450Mr. Graham was here? 30450 My mother--?"
30450Native, eh?
30450Need we discuss it now?
30450New York?
30450Nice bit of business, eh? 30450 No one at all?"
30450No? 30450 Nothing more you want to ask me, is there?"
30450Nothing saved from your allowance, I suppose?
30450Nothing was farther from my thoughts; I just thought I''d show him around and introduce him to you-- let him see all the sights, huh? 30450 Now, about my headquarters; there''s a hotel in the town?"
30450Now, what?
30450Obvious? 30450 Ocky-- what were you doing?"
30450Oh, do n''t you understand? 30450 Oh-- didn''t I tell you?"
30450Oh-- he seemed to vanish, did he?
30450Oh-- what is it?
30450Open it and read it, will you? 30450 Others all waiting for me outside?"
30450Peter-- what have you_ done_?
30450Pity, eh? 30450 Rather cheap, that, is n''t it, Varr?
30450Rather pretty effect, do n''t you think?
30450Refreshing once in a while, do n''t you think?
30450Remember two years ago how we used to play checkers at the Workmen''s Club?
30450Said I expected as much, did n''t I? 30450 Say-- just how did that couplet run?"
30450Scared, eh? 30450 See here where the paint has been broken near the lock and the brass of the bolt is scratched?
30450See here, Aunt Ocky, I''m just tickled pink and all that, but are you sure you ought to have done it?
30450She''s going home to Scotland, I suppose?
30450She''s going to pull through?
30450She''s the daughter of Billy Graham, the manager whom Varr had decided to get rid of?
30450Simon-- what sort of an implement would have forced that desk of yours? 30450 Sir?"
30450Smoke''em, do n''t you?
30450So Graham''s daughter had a book containing the legend of the monk, eh? 30450 So Janet''s a remarkable person, is she?"
30450So that is the explanation of their favorite indoor sport, is it? 30450 So you''re going to make this your headquarters?"
30450Speaking as a prominent citizen, Mr. Varr, what have you to say regarding the opening of the new sewer in State Street?
30450Steiner, sir? 30450 Suggested the elopement?"
30450Suicide? 30450 Suppose I do n''t know myself?"
30450Suppose I take Mr. Varr into the study here and give him a rà © sumà © of events to date? 30450 Suppose it was some one who had a claim on you-- a sister or brother or child?"
30450Sure it''s good stuff, Charlie?
30450Sure they were quarreling, Betty?
30450Sure?
30450Taking something valuable to Thibault?
30450Talked you into it, did I? 30450 Talking, eh?
30450That chunk of granite there-- doesn''t it look to you as if it were freshly broken?
30450That is in deference to your interest in the art of detection; may I count on you not to breathe a word of what I tell you to any one?
30450That shot went home, did it?
30450That was the night of the fire? 30450 That you, Copley?
30450That you, Drusilla? 30450 That''s true-- you''re stranded, are n''t you?
30450The Thibault people, eh? 30450 Then-- it''s true?
30450Then-- whatever it was-- happened before you left here?
30450They''ll have nothing to do-- why should we pay''em to do it?
30450Things are very hard, sir--"And you come to me for help? 30450 This excitement is about over; shall we start?"
30450This notebook? 30450 To return, then-- divorce, Simon?"
30450Told you it was good, did n''t I? 30450 Twenty minutes ago?"
30450Want to look''em over?
30450Was it you who was asking for my son?
30450Well, Bates-- you want to speak to me?
30450Well, Copley, are you posing for a statue of indecision?
30450Well, Fay, what can you tell me about this? 30450 Well, Nelson-- any trouble?"
30450Well, Ocky-- reducing?
30450Well, have you seen any one around the grounds? 30450 Well, was it serious enough to cripple the business?
30450Well, what do you want to know?
30450Well, what was it? 30450 Well, you''re going to fix that difficulty, are n''t you?"
30450Well-- is he right?
30450Well-- take care of yourself, wo n''t you?
30450Well-- what is it now?
30450Well-- who?
30450Well-- why not?
30450Well? 30450 Well?
30450Well? 30450 Well?"
30450Wh- what are you going to do?
30450Wh- who are you?
30450What about it?
30450What are you doing here?
30450What are you getting at?
30450What are you going to do at the tannery?
30450What are you going to do this evening, Copley?
30450What are you looking for?
30450What are you suggesting, anyway?
30450What are you two talking about hanging for? 30450 What are your conversational preferences?"
30450What became of that bunch of hot- air artists who were out here?
30450What did you tell your mother?
30450What did you think of him?
30450What did you think of this inquest?
30450What do I keep a houseful of idle servants for?
30450What do you keep looking at me like that for?
30450What do you make of it, Krech?
30450What do you mean by bursting in like that? 30450 What do you mean?
30450What do you mean? 30450 What do you mean?"
30450What do you think this is-- a hotel? 30450 What do you want here?"
30450What do you want?
30450What do you want?
30450What do_ you_ want?
30450What does he want to see you about?
30450What does it mean? 30450 What does she want?"
30450What had I better do?
30450What happened after that? 30450 What has been worrying you?"
30450What have they got, Creighton? 30450 What have you been doing?
30450What have you done to-- my son?
30450What if it had been you who was slumbering peacefully in the middle of the path instead of me? 30450 What in the world has become of the Copley spirit?"
30450What is he doing around here?
30450What is he taking them? 30450 What is it?"
30450What is it?
30450What is it?
30450What is it?
30450What is it?
30450What is it?
30450What is the charge?
30450What is the matter?
30450What is the usual procedure? 30450 What mental incompetent has employed_ you_?"
30450What of it? 30450 What of it?"
30450What time was that? 30450 What time will Miss Copley be back?"
30450What was that stuff about a monk?
30450What was that?
30450What was the racket with that piece of wood?
30450What was your trouble?
30450What''s in it?
30450What''s it all about?
30450What''s that?
30450What''s that?
30450What''s the idea? 30450 What''s the matter with it?"
30450What''s the matter with letting me out of here for a while? 30450 What?"
30450When did old Mr. Sherwood die?
30450When did you learn about this?
30450When''s he comin''?
30450Where are you going to put that book?
30450Where do you think we''d better begin?
30450Where have you been?
30450Where is Mr. Creighton, do you know?
30450Where is he?
30450Where on earth--? 30450 Where''d it come from?"
30450Who am I? 30450 Who in the world could it have been?"
30450Who is Norvallis?
30450Who is he?
30450Who is that fair- haired chap just going out?
30450Who saw him last-- in the house, I mean, of course?
30450Who says it is n''t sense?
30450Who stood to profit financially by his death?
30450Who''s going to know anything about it except us? 30450 Who''s your rough- neck pal?"
30450Who_ did_ find him, by the way?
30450Why are you so sure?
30450Why did Janet kill Simon Varr?
30450Why did he try to jump him like that?
30450Why did n''t you tell me this at once, Krech?
30450Why did you go to see her?
30450Why do n''t you bring back a hide or two from the vats, Simon? 30450 Why do n''t you cut the Gordian knot and be done with it?"
30450Why not?
30450Why the past tense? 30450 Why, Simon, what has happened to require any such critter as that?
30450Why? 30450 Why?"
30450Will you accept?
30450Will you put me deeper in debt to you by finding Mr. Krech for me?
30450Will you run me to the station on your way home?
30450Will you tell me wh- why?
30450Will you wish anything else, sir?
30450Working on the case?
30450Wotcher want?
30450Would n''t drink it myself if I was n''t, would I? 30450 Would n''t you rather be divorced than hanged?"
30450Ye know him?
30450Yes, sir?
30450Yes? 30450 Yes?
30450You are ill? 30450 You can see me doing it, ca n''t you?
30450You do n''t like it?
30450You do n''t love him much, eh?
30450You do n''t miss anything, do you, Miss Ocky?
30450You got Creighton? 30450 You have n''t met each other yet, have you?"
30450You have your torch? 30450 You heard what he said, Krech?"
30450You know that it was I who-- who killed Simon Varr?
30450You mean-- he''s my father, after all? 30450 You put them on just the same, though?"
30450You quarreled with him?
30450You say he was dressed like a monk? 30450 You say you caught a glimpse of him?"
30450You think he''d have stuck a knife in me? 30450 You told him about this monk business, did n''t you?
30450You were on your way to bed-- do you know what time it was?
30450You wo n''t consider mine?
30450You''ll get it for me, wo n''t you, Simon?
30450You''ll notify Creighton?
30450You''ll tell Steiner, sir, I suppose?
30450You''re Mr. Creighton, are n''t you? 30450 You''ve been out in the great world for several days, what''s going on in New York?
30450You--_what_?
30450Your watchman? 30450 _ Do_ you?"
30450_ Glasses_? 30450 _ Krech_--what are you thinking of?"
30450_ Masked_?
30450_ The_ October Copley?
30450_ What are you going to do about it?_She jumped beneath the lash of that crisp question.
30450_ What?_Simon''s voice was hoarse.
30450_ Who?_"Janet Mackay, sir. 30450 ''_"Do you take that seriously?
30450A knife, for instance?"
30450A man dressed like a monk?
30450A much- abused, sorely- tried man raised angry eyes to Heaven and demanded of it,"What_ next_?"
30450A small educated man instead of a large illiterate one?"
30450A_ common_ pig?
30450Afraid I''m goin''to quit on you, huh?
30450Ai n''t that so, boys?"
30450And I think you and I are in a nice position to criticize her, are n''t we?
30450And here was Leslie Sherwood expressing, not fear, but-- but what?
30450And how do you think I''ve felt, Miss Ocky, while I stood by all these years and watched it goin''on unable to lift a finger to her help?
30450And that curious phrase,"Who hast"; what about that?
30450And what makes you think I''d be guilty of the indelicacy of letting two outfits pay me for the same job?"
30450And what?"
30450And why did any one want to leave a pound of coffee down a trail with rain commencing to fall?
30450And-- my son?"
30450And_ then_ what?"
30450Another local legend, perhaps?"
30450Another thing-- can you persuade Graham to stay with us?"
30450Any one come there?"
30450Anything noticeable about them?"
30450Are you a useful animal now?"
30450Are you drunk?"
30450Are you sure it''s the same?"
30450Are you sure that you need me after all?"
30450Are you telling me the truth?
30450Are you trying to promote a romance between him and Miss Ocky?"
30450Aunt Ocky, when is the funeral?"
30450Bates, you know that Persian dagger of mine I''ve been using here lately for a paper- cutter?
30450Been with the family long, Bates?"
30450Brought from D building, eh?
30450But about to- morrow-- may I represent myself as being your plenipotentiary?"
30450But how did you get this from footprints?"
30450But it''s curious, and rather interesting, do n''t you think?
30450But that is n''t what I had in mind when I asked you if you knew what this means?"
30450But what could he do if he did know the truth?
30450But when is he going?
30450But who had known that, and turned his knowledge to advantage by the crooked way of burglary?
30450But, say, Aunt Ocky-- you surely did n''t have the nerve to mention your elopement scheme, did you?"
30450But-- may I ask you a few questions about the less romantic adventures of the young man?
30450But-- why?"
30450By golly, was it she who dove beneath an ice- pack and brought you back to the air- hole through which you had fallen?"
30450By the way, did you see that letter from the Larscom Leather Company?
30450By the way, what is your name?"
30450Ca n''t a fellow be sensible, Aunt Ocky, without being accused of spinelessness?
30450Can I have one on you?
30450Can you guess it?"
30450Can you make out anything?"
30450Capable of-- murder?"
30450Could he hope to catch him?
30450Could he say when the mystery might take some definite turn toward solution?
30450Could you not let me die in peace?"
30450Could you recognize him?
30450Creighton-- which are we to believe?"
30450Creighton--_who_?"
30450Creighton?"
30450Creighton?"
30450D''ye suppose he''ll go on like this to the end of his days?"
30450D''you think this is a problem that will appeal to Mr. Creighton''s critical taste?"
30450Damaging confession, I suppose?
30450Delightful fellow, is n''t he?"
30450Did he make any threats?"
30450Did it ever strike you that matchmaking is the proper business of old maids?
30450Did it strike you that he had a sort of a pleased- with- himself air?
30450Did n''t Mr. Krech send you an anonymous note that Mr. Varr received from his enemy?"
30450Did n''t you?"
30450Did n''t you?"
30450Did the butler notice?"
30450Did they leave together?"
30450Did they talk together long?"
30450Did ye know that old Simon''s kitchen garden had been looted the other night?"
30450Did you call me back just to tell me this?"
30450Did you ever in your life see a nicer?"
30450Did you know that?"
30450Did you know the fool legend?"
30450Did you lock up as carefully as usual this evening, Bates?
30450Did you notice how he snapped into the business of getting work started again?"
30450Did you notice the nick in it near the point?"
30450Did you or Fay look around any more in the neighborhood of those footprints?"
30450Did you pack that bag?
30450Did-- did you see his_ face_?"
30450Did_ you_?"
30450Do n''t fail to tell him about your chat with the lady-- and you might just say that I advised you to repeat it to him, will you?"
30450Do n''t people think of anything else in America?"
30450Do n''t you get it?"
30450Do you know how that was determined?"
30450Do you know?"
30450Do you know?"
30450Do you make the arrest yourself?
30450Do you mind, however, if I mention another man whom I''ve been thinking might fit in?"
30450Do you think that Charlie Maxon--?"
30450Do you wish to speak to him, Miss Ocky?"
30450Does he mail you the book?"
30450Does he think I''m going to wire the Governor to turn out the militia?"
30450Does that impress you as being a likely scenario, Miss Copley?"
30450Done to him?
30450Drop you anywhere, Simon?"
30450Dropped in to take another good look at me?"
30450Eh?"
30450Eh?"
30450Eh?"
30450Er-- what made you think of ghosts?"
30450Ever stop to think that the detective''s best friend is the housemaid who scamps her work?
30450Ever talk to a chap named Nelson, a watchman at the tannery?
30450For instance-- do you know a young man called Maxon?"
30450For me?"
30450Friction?"
30450Funny, do n''t you think?"
30450Get his shirt and match this to the hole you''ll find in it-- see?
30450Get it?
30450Get it?"
30450Gimme a match, will you?"
30450Granting that he used the dagger because it was handy, why did he carry it away with him?
30450Had Ocky really seen him?
30450Had he a confederate?
30450Had he any right to inflict this specimen on Creighton?
30450Had he been frightened away by their appearance at the window?
30450Had he been frightened away_ permanently_?
30450Had one of them chosen this fantastic method of declaring war on him?
30450Had she known that the black figure was Janet and sought to restrain him lest he catch her?
30450Hardly necessary to make excuses for her, is it?
30450Has Latimer learned anything useful?"
30450Has he had any conversation with you yet, Bates?"
30450Has it a history?"
30450Has it ever struck you that Creighton is a rather lonely man?"
30450Has that any importance now apart from its obvious connection with the crime?"
30450Has the body been moved yet?"
30450Has the murderer been identified?"
30450Have n''t you brought back any news to us country folk?"
30450Have plans changed?"
30450Have the police any clues?"
30450Have they seen anything of each other lately?"
30450Have you anything else on your infant mind?
30450Have you ever seen or heard of a monk around here before?"
30450Have you found out yet how he got into the house?"
30450Have you no respect for the dead?"
30450Have you plenty of money?"
30450Have you told the police about your talk with Drusilla Jones?"
30450He added diffidently,"Might n''t one of them have done it?"
30450He added with more appropriate seriousness,"What became of our little playmate?"
30450He could take his suspicions to Steiner-- but what could that futile fellow do?
30450He had not noticed either of them at the fire; had they been robbing his desk while they knew him safely absent?
30450He was around to see me an hour ago--""Was he sober?"
30450He was never keen on the idea of a match between you two, was he?"
30450He would do nothing decisive until he had weighed things more carefully and was sure--"How shall we replace Billy Graham?"
30450How about Kitty Doyle?
30450How are you, Ocky?
30450How come?"
30450How could any one associate the idea of murder with that gentle, harmless old man?
30450How could he start a fire when he was locked up in jail?
30450How did he take it?"
30450How did one go to work to learn such things, short of asking open questions?
30450How does it happen that you permitted Langhorn to enter?"
30450How is your nerve this morning?
30450How is yours?"
30450How many people killed Simon Varr?"
30450How tall?"
30450How would he fight this unseen, unknown foe?
30450How would you go about doing that?"
30450How''s that for a theory?"
30450I am gradually weeding out the more noxious of them-- eh, Jason?"
30450I asked him,''Vot iss a tanner?''
30450I must say, Simon--""Must you?
30450I suppose it would be useless for me to ask you to designate some of those less obvious places?"
30450I suppose nothing could ever lead you from the narrow path of rectitude?"
30450I suppose you''re going over there now?"
30450I wo n''t drag any more red- herrings around, but ca n''t we_ please_ talk of something else?"
30450I wonder if he will sell the place or-- or live here?"
30450I''d be apt to bust into print with that, would n''t I?
30450I''m likely to, are n''t I?"
30450If Copley went to town last night, what trains were available?"
30450If Maxon committed the murder but did n''t steal the knife, what''s the answer?"
30450If he got the dagger after he entered the house, why did he then force the window with it?"
30450If he suddenly learned that a detective was coming-- you see?"
30450Important?
30450In a mask?"
30450In a smaller voice than she was wo nt to employ, she added timidly,"Simon, d- do you believe in ghosts?"
30450In the event of your learning the truth, we felt some concern as to whether or not you''d be-- be--""_ What?_""Well-- human!"
30450Is Janet a tall thin woman who wears steel- rimmed glasses?"
30450Is he coming here?
30450Is he the man I''m looking for?"
30450Is it possible that you suspected_ her_?"
30450Is n''t that even finer?"
30450Is n''t that it?"
30450Is n''t that so?"
30450Is n''t that the plain truth?"
30450Is n''t that the whole story after all?
30450Is that all you want of me, sir?"
30450Is that it, sir?"
30450Is that it?
30450Is that so?"
30450Is that you, Langhorn?
30450Is the reason-- Miss Graham?"
30450Is-- is he suspected?"
30450It really started you on the right track, did n''t it?
30450It was she who threatened Simon, fired the tannery-- but why go on?
30450It''s proper for me to employ extra assistance if I wish, is n''t it?"
30450Jason complied with a shrug of his shoulders; why waste his breath on this human lump of obstinacy?
30450Judge Taylor can tell us all about the legal end of it, but Herman Krech can give us pointers on the practical side--""Who are you talking about?"
30450Just what did you mean, Bates?
30450K. Doyle._""Miss Ocky, why did you do it, why did you do it?"
30450Krech?"
30450Lawyers often could throw light on an affair of this kind if they chose to; what if there were some secret, unsuspected page in Simon Varr''s life--?
30450May I ask if you are returning to New York this afternoon or evening?"
30450May I ask you a personal question?"
30450May I ask you one question?
30450Mean to say you ca n''t_ see_ me?
30450Mebbe you''d like me to send for Drusilla so''s we could have a dance?
30450Mebbe you''d like to git down on your knees an''crawl back to th''old skinflint?
30450Might n''t it?"
30450Miss Copley-- Mr. Bolt-- can either of you tell me who might have wanted to kill Simon Varr?"
30450Miss Ocky, why did you do it, why did you do it?
30450Moody?"
30450No?
30450Not even a nice, clean, pink- and- white, prize- winning pig?"
30450Not far, is it?
30450Now that you''re here-- shall we say to- morrow noon?"
30450Now, I can ask a question that you must n''t, do_ you_ suspect any one?"
30450Now-- what about Krech and the police?"
30450Now-- what do you mean by_ that_?"
30450Ocky could do that without fear of the consequences, since she believed her days to be numbered, but could Janet?"
30450Ocky''s confession was convincing when you heard it, was n''t it?
30450On charges of assault with a tomato?
30450Once when I was staying with a Chinese family in Pekin--""Where did you get the idea,"inquired Creighton mildly,"that I was fond of red- herring?
30450Or do you call the police?
30450Or would you now be sitting somewhere on a cloud talking it all over with Simon?
30450Please, will you do something for me?"
30450Pretty?
30450Probably he wo n''t want to talk much about it, but you-- you could give him a friendly pat on the arm or-- or something like that, could n''t you?"
30450S''pose he comes out and says he took those tomatoes because he was hungry?
30450Said it was an accident, did n''t they?
30450Say, where do you think you are?
30450Say-- what did you think of that Copley woman?"
30450Scientists aver the eye reflects the mind; note the perfect blankness of his?"
30450Secret formulas-- that sort of thing?"
30450See here, Simon-- didn''t you come up that path a few minutes ago?"
30450Shall I give you a lift home?
30450Shall I go on, Simon?"
30450Shall I show you your room?"
30450Shall I tell you the story?"
30450Shall we talk of something else than murder?
30450She has been having a little unpleasantness of her own; did you know that?
30450Similar one... Medical text books... To- morrow... MacNaughton... Billy MacNaughton... Best Man... Know Him?
30450So he would n''t listen to you?"
30450Some one who could carry off the situation if he had been discovered in the living- room or study by the servants?"
30450Sounds theatrical, does n''t it?
30450Staying at Lucy''s?"
30450Suppose he_ had_ set fire to the tannery-- was that any reason to believe he had proceeded to further activities the same night?
30450Suppose she tumbles to It?
30450Suppose the fellow took alarm and got off to a running start?
30450Sure you wo n''t let me drive you home?"
30450Swayed by her dislike of Simon and her friendship for her companion of a score of years, had she condoned a crime and helped a murderess to escape?
30450Tell me, did you meet anything-- I mean, any one?"
30450Tell me, was your brother- in- law an impulsive sort of person-- liable to outbursts of passion-- inclined to do things in a headlong, reckless way?"
30450That''s what we''d expect_ him_ to say, ai n''t it?
30450The Chief of Police?"
30450The family wo n''t object, I suppose?"
30450The night of the robbery?"
30450The notebook?
30450The second was the more serious of the two, was n''t it?"
30450Then I lost no time in getting away--""You kept to this cement path?"
30450Then he added casually-- too casually to be convincing to her sharp intuitions--"How is Lucy?"
30450Then it had come so pat on his bitter question of"What_ next_?"
30450There has n''t been any trouble from the strikers?"
30450There is only one motion- picture theater?"
30450They considered themselves engaged--""What?
30450Threaten_ him_, would they?
30450To put it more bluntly-- had the man an alibi?
30450Trust Janet?"
30450Try, wo n''t you, Peter?"
30450Trying for a detective, eh?"
30450Understand?
30450Understand?
30450Understand?"
30450Understand?"
30450Understand?"
30450Unexpected, is n''t it?
30450Until he is laid by the heels, why not play safe and stay home after dark?"
30450Varr had a son?"
30450Varr?"
30450Varr?"
30450Varr?"
30450Varr?"
30450Varr?"
30450Varr?"
30450Vote- getter Maxon?"
30450Want me to lose my job, huh?"
30450Want to know?"
30450Was William Graham in the habit of coming to this house?"
30450Was he cool enough to figure that a weapon taken from Varr''s own house would not readily be traced to him?
30450Was he interested in any other woman than his wife?"
30450Was he loose again on some fresh errand of crime?
30450Was he planning to leave home?
30450Was he thinking of murder already?
30450Was it a genuine warning and threat, or was it merely an elaborate hoax?
30450Was it a vital blow?"
30450Was n''t Miss Ocky waiting confidently for him to do just that?
30450Was n''t valuable, was it?"
30450Was the old fellow suffering from frazzled nerves or from hidden knowledge?
30450Was the trouble between them so bitter that it is to be perpetuated after death?"
30450Was their disagreement-- violent?"
30450Was there a spark of manhood in his breast that still glowed when breathed upon?
30450Was this fire a token of resentment on the part of his friends for the way he had been treated?
30450Was-- was it satisfactory?
30450Wearing a mask?"
30450Well-- if a murder is committed are you apt to suspect a person you''ve known as well as you know yourself for twenty- five years?
30450What about it?
30450What about the last, Miss Copley?
30450What are those other occurrences you speak of?"
30450What are you doing down here?"
30450What are you doing here at this hour?"
30450What are you gettin''at anyway?"
30450What are you going for?"
30450What are you going to do first?"
30450What are you saying?
30450What brought it to your mind?"
30450What conceivable motive could she have had to conspire against Varr''s life?"
30450What curse had come upon him?
30450What d''you mean?"
30450What did Graham have to say this morning?"
30450What did he refer to?"
30450What did he say?"
30450What did it mean?
30450What did they care if the tannery went up in smoke?
30450What did this confounded monk look like?"
30450What did you expect?"
30450What did you say this one took-- a notebook?"
30450What did you think about it?
30450What did you think?"
30450What do you expect me to do about it?"
30450What do you mean, do n''t linger?
30450What do you mean, pity?"
30450What do you think of that?"
30450What do you think?"
30450What do_ you_ think it is?
30450What do_ you_ want?"
30450What had he better do to cut that fellow''s claws?
30450What had she done to deserve this delicate attention?
30450What happened?"
30450What in the world_ for_?"
30450What in thunder do you_ mean_?"
30450What is behind the stars?"
30450What is it, dear?
30450What is it?"
30450What is it?"
30450What is it?"
30450What is it?"
30450What is it?"
30450What is the matter with you?"
30450What is your idea about this?
30450What is your name?"
30450What kind of glasses?"
30450What malign fate had led Graham there that evening at the very moment when he could least afford to have his trickery revealed to his son?
30450What of it?
30450What of it?"
30450What of the burglary that Mr. Varr had on his mind?
30450What opinion have you formed about that?"
30450What other motives are there for murder?"
30450What sort of a chap is he?
30450What sort of threats?"
30450What time did he break jail?"
30450What time was all this?"
30450What trouble was it?"
30450What was it?"
30450What was that she had once said?
30450What was the first?"
30450What was there here that could n''t be explained in the light of facts already known?
30450What were you two talking about?"
30450What would you do?"
30450What''s doing?"
30450What''s that?"
30450What''s that?"
30450What''s that?"
30450What''s the matter?"
30450What, sir?"
30450What-- what do you mean?"
30450What_ are_ you talking about?"
30450What_ is_ he doing?"
30450When did you see it last?"
30450When does Fay relieve you?"
30450When was that?"
30450When''s he coming?"
30450Where did you get this?
30450Where did you meet him?"
30450Where had they been since?
30450Where have you been for the past few hours?"
30450Where have you seen blue steel before to- day?"
30450Where is Miss Copley?"
30450Where is Mr. Varr''s son?
30450Where is that desk which was broken open?
30450Where on earth is Jason Bolt?
30450Where were you when you discovered the fire?"
30450Where were you while--""What is it_ now_?"
30450Where''d he get to?"
30450Where''s that short cut through the woods in which Varr first saw his monk?"
30450Where?"
30450Which do you mean?"
30450Which was it?
30450Who could have expected to find an internationally famous writer and traveler stuck away in this corner of the world?
30450Who did you tell?"
30450Who had made this second determined effort to burn the tannery?
30450Who had sent it?
30450Who is running the police show?"
30450Who is that?"
30450Who is this?"
30450Who let_ you_ out?"
30450Who says we ca n''t recover loot?
30450Who seemed to be doing the most of it?"
30450Who wants an old notebook?"
30450Who was his enemy?
30450Who was it?
30450Who was it?"
30450Who was she?"
30450Who was the ancient johnnie that used to bounce up from the earth a bit stronger for every time he hit it?"
30450Who''s the nondescript, Krech?"
30450Who, in this hitherto quiet township of Hambleton, had suddenly developed a brand of vicious courage that nerved him to commit arson and burglary?
30450Why are n''t you at the movies this evening?"
30450Why are you going back to Hambleton?"
30450Why ca n''t I know what''s going on, too?"
30450Why did n''t he mail it?"
30450Why did you do it?"
30450Why do n''t you ask me to take you to the movies?
30450Why do you hate a man you have n''t even seen for over twenty years?"
30450Why do you want me to suffer?
30450Why does he annoy you?"
30450Why had n''t he kept his fat head shut?
30450Why has n''t he accepted?"
30450Why have n''t seventeen or ninety people_ told_ me who you were?"
30450Why in thunder did n''t you grab him?
30450Why in thunder did people keep''em?
30450Why in thunder do you want to know?"
30450Why not make a list of your known enemies and check them off one by one?"
30450Why not?"
30450Why should I waste my breath proposing an act that requires courage?
30450Why should I?"
30450Why should Langhorn flirt with the hangman?
30450Why should he be affected like this?
30450Why should he disappear from people?
30450Why should he wear a mask?
30450Why was everything going wrong?
30450Why?
30450Why?"
30450Why?"
30450Why?"
30450Why?"
30450Why_ two_ days, unless it was the quarrel between her husband and her son that worried her all of yesterday?"
30450Will he stop at the hotel, or will he expect me to put him up here?"
30450Will she join the conspiracy of silence?"
30450Will that be all right, sir?"
30450Will you forgive me?"
30450Will you let me save you from the horrors of the local hotel?"
30450Will you tell me then, in a general way, where those indications you mention seem to point?"
30450Will you tell me what you meant by that?
30450Will you tell me what you plan to do, or is that also taboo?"
30450Will you tell me, please, why you are obliged to return to New York?
30450Wot are they?"
30450Wotcher doin''''ere at this time o''dye?"
30450Wotcher want''em for?"
30450Would a murderer leave a trail as clear as that?
30450Would he come back?
30450Would he come?
30450Would he have the brazen nerve to make such a remark if he were the thief?
30450Would he?
30450Would it be improper for you to tell me whether or not I''ve inherited his interest in the tannery?"
30450Would n''t you?"
30450Would you be able to swear that he was the man you saw here after the murder?"
30450Would you ever have awakened again?
30450Would you tell me if he did?"
30450You believe that, do n''t you?"
30450You could n''t, eh?"
30450You do n''t mind if I do, though?"
30450You got one too?"
30450You got the impression that he was tall?
30450You had a good look at the fellow did n''t you?
30450You had some reason to believe his life was in danger?"
30450You have n''t gone and quarreled with him_ too_, have you?"
30450You heard tell of th''fire that started in C buildin''t''other night, did n''t you?
30450You knew I was coming?"
30450You noticed her in the kitchen this morning, did n''t you?
30450You spoke of a doctor-- was that the County Physician?
30450You warned him?
30450You''ll find an opportunity to make him understand, I suppose?
30450You''re a detective, are n''t you?"
30450You''re going to let me out after all these years?"
30450You''ve heard about the roekus with Copley, I suppose?"
30450You''ve heard the expression,''rooted with amazement''?
30450You-- er-- how did you know I was expected?"
30450_ What about_?
30450and he said,''_ Vat_ do you mean?
30450and why?
30450are you weakening already about giving me information?"
30450but_ had_ he_ entirely_?
30450demanded Krech, and added a trifle anxiously,"It does n''t tick, does it?"
30450did you ever see a picture of those creatures of the Spanish Inquisition?
30450or would you rather walk?"
40491A pocket- book?
40491Am I to take this as your final answer?
40491And did this note contain anything of a compromising nature?
40491And if she consents?
40491And if that were true?
40491And if this avowal should fall into the hands of an investigating magistrate, what then?
40491And it took you where?
40491And no article of furniture was forced open by the murderer?
40491And the bullet pierced Dargental''s heart? 40491 And this letter is in your possession?"
40491And was one of the others from Blanche?
40491And what do you think of the contents of this famous missive?
40491And what if Albert should hear this story?
40491And what is this memorandum?
40491And where did you see that gentleman?
40491And why not?
40491And you are still determined to marry Mademoiselle Verdon?
40491And you consented?
40491And you have n''t told your friend, the magistrate, that Puymirol could not possibly be Dargental''s murderer? 40491 And you kept them until now?"
40491And you say he has these letters?
40491And your friend has said nothing about the letters?
40491And yours, mother?
40491Are the letters in your possession?
40491Are they all here?
40491Are you not afraid that your son may be displeased at not being consulted?
40491Are you sure of that?
40491Are you sure that he is at her house now?
40491Are you well acquainted with this valet?
40491Are you willing to show it to me?
40491At the office of the commissary of the Chaussée d''Antin district?
40491At what hour did you reach the restaurant?
40491Because you expect to be his brother- in- law? 40491 Besides, who would think of stealing lottery tickets?"
40491Blanche also said, did she not, that Dargental had altered his name to D''Argental?
40491But are you sure that this pocket- book contained any money?
40491But how about your friend, Monsieur de Puymirol? 40491 But how can you do that?
40491But how can you have any business with me if you do n''t know my name? 40491 But how do they know that the pocket- book was stolen?"
40491But in what way could this note compromise you?
40491But it can not be for the sake of his money that your mother wishes to marry him?
40491But what does your brother say to Madame Verdon''s plans?
40491But where are you going, Roch? 40491 But whom do you suppose the writer to be?"
40491But why did n''t he alter his will?
40491But why did they bring Puymirol here?
40491But why did you interest yourself in her behalf?
40491But why do you wish to know that?
40491But you must have asked him why he threw the pocket- book into your cab?
40491By no means, but even if I did, what conclusions would you draw from such an admission on my part?
40491By whom, pray?
40491Ca n''t you guess?
40491Can he have noticed me, and is he trying to throw me off the scent?
40491Can she be accused of murdering him?
40491Can you describe this man?
40491Can you suppose I would show it to the investigating magistrate? 40491 Did he say anything about me?"
40491Did n''t Blanche say that Dargental had just been invested with the title of marquis?
40491Did n''t I tell you that he was turning all the women''s heads?
40491Did she really say''your friends of both sexes?''
40491Did she tell you that?
40491Did you allow the matter to drop there?
40491Did you comply with his request?
40491Did you read the letters?
40491Did you take the number of this cab?
40491Do you know what has happened?
40491Do you know who he is?
40491Do you know,said he,"you very nearly broke my neck, and I have a great mind to call a policeman to take you to the station- house?
40491Do you recognise yours?
40491Do you regret his absence?
40491Do you remember what I wrote to you last winter?
40491Do you suspect a crime, then?
40491Do you take me for Dargental?
40491Do you think of claiming the article?
40491Do you think that I doubt it now?
40491Does n''t your father ever come to Paris, now?
40491Had Monsieur Dargental any enemies?
40491Have n''t you yourself ever written to Dargental?
40491Have they discovered the culprit?
40491Have you any idea what he wants to speak to you about?
40491Have you any idea where he went afterwards?
40491Have you brought the letters?
40491Have you communicated all this information to your friend Dargental?
40491Have you forgotten Blanche Pornic? 40491 Have you that pocket- book about you?"
40491He must be very fond of horses?
40491He was not particularly enthusiastic in his praises, I suppose?
40491Her intended husband?
40491Here, a fortnight after Dargental''s death? 40491 How are you, old fellow?"
40491How can I when I am near you?
40491How can that be? 40491 How can you expect me to prove the injustice of your suspicions?
40491How did Puymirol look while they searched his place?
40491How do you know that?
40491How do you know?
40491How do you know?
40491How do you know?
40491How will you learn that result?
40491I suppose you have no idea of requesting him to release Puymirol?
40491If it comes from her, what shall you do?
40491In broad daylight, and in the heart of Paris? 40491 Indeed?"
40491Is he a friend of yours?
40491Is it likely that I have risked my life, and surrender it to you, in view of betraying the woman I have sworn to save? 40491 Is it possible that you have any enemies?"
40491Is mine one of them?
40491Is the affair known at the club?
40491Is there a fire in the house?
40491Is this all you have to tell me?
40491Is this indispensable?
40491Mamma? 40491 No doubt; but to what motive does the magistrate ascribe the crime?"
40491Oh, no; did n''t you notice that she went off in a huff?
40491Or, has he allowed me to follow him, in order to draw me into some trap? 40491 Pierre Dargental?"
40491Shall I lay it beside his plate?
40491So you became a murderer through love and devotion?
40491So you really accuse me of murder and robbery?
40491Tell you what I have been doing? 40491 That is not the case with mine, I suppose?"
40491The friend whose absence has caused you so much uneasiness?
40491The lady to whom you wished to send me as envoy extraordinary? 40491 The pocket- book probably contained a large sum of money?"
40491Then I can draw the amount?
40491Then he denies having seen anything of the pocket- book?
40491Then she killed him from jealousy, you think?
40491Then who could have instigated it-- Rochas?
40491Then why do you look so sulky? 40491 Then why does n''t he mention them?"
40491Then you do n''t know either of these gentlemen?
40491Then you have no idea who he is?
40491Then you intend to set me at liberty?
40491Then you refuse to give me her name?
40491Then you would be willing to accept my love and devotion?
40491Then, if this letter came from Blanche Pornic, you would be inclined to think that the murder was committed by her orders, and for her benefit?
40491Then, why did you ask him to go and see you after the show at the Palais de l''Industrie? 40491 Then, why do you attach so much importance to the recovery of such worthless property?"
40491There he is, at last,she continued, pointing to a young sub- lieutenant and then clapping her hands like a child, she added:"Is n''t he handsome?"
40491This is a very interesting story,said Balmer, as he emptied his fifth glass of champagne;"but what has it to do with the countess?"
40491Threaten her with what?
40491To whom could I safely intrust them?
40491To whom have I the honour of speaking?
40491Upon what is this opinion based?
40491Was it Monsieur de Puymirol that showed it to you?
40491Was the lunch ordered by Monsieur Dargental?
40491Well, well,said Albert,"why do you all look so strange?
40491Well, what do you think of that?
40491Well, why was it that you killed Pierre Dargental, on the 9th of April last?
40491Well,said George to Puymirol,"after what you have just heard, do you still persist in your determination to usurp the functions of the police?"
40491Were you acquainted with him?
40491What business is it of his, pray? 40491 What business is that of yours?"
40491What did I tell you a moment ago? 40491 What did you say, you young rascal?"
40491What difference can my age possibly make? 40491 What do you think of it all?"
40491What do you think of this catastrophe?
40491What for?
40491What have you got there?
40491What have you to say to me?
40491What is happening?
40491What is that?
40491What is the matter with you, Blanche?
40491What is the matter?
40491What letters?
40491What possible motive could we have had?
40491What the deuce is the matter with you to- day?
40491What time is it?
40491What tobacconist''s?
40491What was his object in telling you that, for he must have had an object in confessing that he had thrown his pocket- book away?
40491What were its contents?
40491What would you think of me if I accepted it?
40491What, Blanche Pornic? 40491 Where are you taking me?"
40491Where are your windows?
40491Where have you been, you bad fellow?
40491Where were you born?
40491Where, and under what circumstances?
40491Which left stains upon the lottery tickets you had handled?
40491Which one? 40491 Who are you, sir?"
40491Who gave you this letter?
40491Who is Monsieur Robergeot?
40491Who knows? 40491 Who knows?"
40491Why burn it? 40491 Why did you not inform Monsieur Robergeot of the finding of these tickets?"
40491Why is it singular? 40491 Why should n''t Pierre have taken the same precautions against you as he took against me?
40491Why, what can he be driving at?
40491Why, where can you have obtained your information? 40491 Why?
40491Why? 40491 Why?"
40491Will any of his old flames be at lunch to- day?
40491Will you permit me to call again to- morrow?
40491Would you rather I spoke of my mother?
40491You dare to admit that you have been playing the spy on me for a fortnight?
40491You dined at the Lion d''Or yesterday?
40491You do n''t belong to the army?
40491You have n''t seen your mother since?
40491You refuse to answer, then?
40491You think he was a blackmailer, eh? 40491 You wish to see me again, you say, and yet you hesitate to make this slight sacrifice of pride?
40491You would consent to accompany me home, then?
40491Your brother, mademoiselle?
40491Your father''s former partner?
40491115,815 at the lottery office to convert it into bank notes?
4049114, Rue de Medicis?"
40491Am I indebted to you for bringing him to light?"
40491And she has paid you a visit?
40491And what do you suppose was the object of the crime?
40491And what if you learned to love another in the meantime?
40491Are you playing cards with Blanche?"
40491As for the matter to which I was stupid enough to allude in the letter, would you like to know what it was?"
40491Besides, was his statement really correct?
40491Besides, where could she have found a scoundrel willing to risk his life for her sake, in order to kill Dargental?"
40491But Albert has told you, I suppose, what he wishes me to do?"
40491But did the officers find anything suspicious?"
40491But do you think it advisable for us to take the pocket- book to the lost property office at the Prefecture of Police?"
40491But how did this man act when you spoke to him about the murder?"
40491But how the deuce did you happen to leave them in the cab-- for I suppose they were addressed to you?"
40491But is that any reason for blighting my hopes?
40491But is this story really true?
40491But speaking of Puymirol, are you aware that he lost five hundred louis more at cards last night?"
40491But what do you think of the show this year?"
40491But what the deuce are you doing?
40491But where and how was this grand prize payable?
40491But whom do you suspect?
40491But you are not going to ask me to marry you, or even to engage myself to you forthwith, I suppose?"
40491But you, no doubt, opened the pocket- book before taking it to the commissary''s office?"
40491But, now, will you authorise me to inform my mother that you intend to ask for my hand in marriage-- at an early date?"
40491But, perhaps, you prefer the Assizes?
40491By the way, have you forgotten what she said during lunch?
40491Can the house be on fire?"
40491Come, tell me, did you ever know that my mother carried on an intrigue with that man Dargental?"
40491Could he have really believed that the authorities would always remain ignorant of his name?
40491Did he really intend to give it to me at the Lion d''Or as he promised?
40491Did it contain any bank- notes?"
40491Did n''t you bring him with you?"
40491Did she bring it back to you to- day?"
40491Did you find a pocket- book in the cab which brought you here a fortnight ago?"
40491Did you not, on Wednesday, the 9th of April, pass through the Place du Carrousel in a cab which turned into the Rue de Rivoli?"
40491Did you notice that he kept the bouquet of violets she flung at him?
40491Did you read them?"
40491Do n''t you hear the bell?"
40491Do you admit that it is true?"
40491Do you know who is accused of the murder?"
40491Do you love me?"
40491Do you recollect the ball at which you led the cotillon?"
40491Do you see this gentleman?
40491Do you think of offering yourself as a substitute for Dargental?"
40491Do you wish to marry me?"
40491First of all, who are you?"
40491Gabrielle was there, no doubt, but what should he say to her?
40491George glanced in the direction indicated, and, on recognising the ladies, blushed so deeply that Blanche resumed:"So they are friends of yours?
40491Had his friend been brought home, wounded, dead, perhaps?
40491Have you anything against the gentleman?"
40491Have you ever seen Sardou''s"Hatred"played?
40491Have you seen the Countess de Lescombat?"
40491Have you signed a treaty of peace?"
40491How can suspicion have fallen on him?"
40491How could he explain to her, her mother''s conduct, and acquaint her with the tragical death of her old friend, Roch?
40491How many ladies were present?"
40491How much do you want for it?"
40491However, after all, why should she want to marry him, as he was not worth a copper?
40491However, is your mother at home?"
40491However, where did you take this cab?"
40491I told you so the other day, you recollect?"
40491I wonder why he kept these notes in this case?"
40491If not, how did he come into possession of that pocket- book containing the tickets?"
40491If there must be a victim, why do n''t you mention the Countess de Lescombat to the magistrate?
40491In that case, what should he say and do to assist his friend?
40491Is Pierre''s marriage the cause of this falling off?
40491Is there anything so very extraordinary in the fact that Caumont should have known that gentleman?
40491It may be asked, how had she borne this terrible blow?
40491M. Robergeot listened very attentively to this narrative, and when Puymirol paused, he quietly remarked:"The lottery tickets went as well, I suppose?"
40491Madame de Lescombat reflected for a moment, and then said:"But what if I asked you to see her again?
40491Now''s your time, but when and where shall we see you again?"
40491Now, can you tell me why this person inquired after you?"
40491Now, do you still persist in declaring that you purchased the tickets in a cigar shop?"
40491Now, have you any knowledge of this strange culprit?
40491Now, what have you to say to this story?
40491Oh, when will the day come when I shall be able to acknowledge you as my lord and master before all the world?
40491Presently he heard Blanche ask, in a soft voice:"To what am I indebted for the honour of your visit?"
40491Robbery?"
40491Shall I point him out to you?"
40491Shall we go to the club?
40491She called to him, and said:"Well, are you satisfied?
40491She told you that I was the daughter of a Lyons''weaver, did n''t she?
40491She, no doubt, spoke about me during the lunch?"
40491Tell me where, and when, you purchased this ticket?"
40491That''s strange, she surely does not intend to abscond like a criminal?"
40491The first words that the young officer articulated were:"Where is Plancoët?
40491The young officer seemed to be in a state of great excitement, and Roch anxiously asked him:"What is the matter?"
40491There are several, then?"
40491To what cause do you attribute this suicide?"
40491To whom could I complain afterwards?
40491Upon whose?"
40491Was the remark really intended for him, or was it by a mere chance that she mentioned such a case, and that exact amount?
40491Well, I have just seen a letter written by her to a lover--""To Rochas?"
40491Well, as you refuse to give me my letter until I have returned you yours, why not accompany me home?
40491Well, what after?"
40491What are you aiming at?"
40491What charge can there be against him?"
40491What could this mean?
40491What did he say to you?"
40491What do you mean by going to sleep on the pavement?"
40491What do you mean?"
40491What do you propose?"
40491What do you want with me?"
40491What have you been doing with yourself?
40491What have you to say?"
40491What if I begged of you to question her, and discover what she referred to when she threatened to produce I do n''t know what proofs against me?"
40491What if I should find one of the winning numbers among them?
40491What is there so very astonishing about that?
40491What object can you possibly have in ruining me?"
40491What occurred afterwards?"
40491What should he do with himself?
40491What, can it be that you, a medical man, are ignorant of the fact that consumptives eat like ogres?"
40491When did you see him last?"
40491When shall I bear your name?
40491When shall we start?
40491When will they return?
40491Where does this woman live?"
40491Where is the woman?"
40491Who was that lady dressed in black?
40491Whose apartments were they searching?
40491Why did I allow you to depart?
40491Why did you tell the commissary the contrary?"
40491Why do you hesitate?
40491Why do you use all this circumlocution to tell me that he had the cowardice to show and give you the letter you speak of?"
40491Why does n''t this idiot of a cabman drive faster?"
40491Why had he killed himself?
40491Why, did n''t I tell you just now that I had never written to anyone but Pierre in my life?"
40491Will you accompany me home?"
40491Will you give me your name and address?"
40491Will you take a seat?"
40491Will you therefore give him the envelope containing the letters?"
40491Would it not be better to take them to the magistrate?
40491You admit it, do you not?"
40491You admit, then, that you purloined these tickets after killing the man who had them about his person?"
40491You come from Périgord, do n''t you, and your relatives reside there?"
40491You have never injured me, why should I try to injure you?"
40491You may have heard of that gentleman''s murder, Plancoët?"
40491You must have heard of the affair?"
40491You must know who wrote it?"
40491You recollect that I spoke to you yesterday, and again this morning, about my friend Puymirol, and the anxiety his prolonged absence caused me?
40491You understand me, do you not?
40491Your last evening at baccarat was most disastrous, was it not?"
40491and what has he to say against Plancoët, whose little finger is worth more than Rochas''s whole body?"
40491and why had he declared to George''s profound astonishment that he was Dargental''s murderer?
40491are you sure that you are not mistaken in the name?"
40491but why?
40491cried Adhémar,"what scoundrel ventures to bombard us in this style?"
40491do you mean to ruin me?"
40491has any accident happened to him?"
40491has n''t he made his appearance yet?"
40491inquired the lieutenant, as soon as George resumed his place on Gabrielle''s left,"what is going on?"
40491is it true?
40491what do you mean?"
40491why should she hate him?"
40491you have the audacity to accuse me of Dargental''s death?"
40491you were present at the time?"
34277''Ow do you mean, sir?
34277''Smoking''him?
34277A sudden departure, eh?
34277A youngster, you say?
34277About Springboks?
34277About whom?
34277Ah, this was bad; why did he not consult me?
34277Albert Mensmore?
34277Alice,I said, and if she had not been blinded by passion she must have been affected by my earnestness,"will you listen to me?"
34277All this must have astonished you considerably?
34277Am I to look, too?
34277An''''as my yarn bin of any use to you, sir?
34277An''''ave you been on the''unt ever since, guv''nor?
34277An''you see now''ow it is I can fix the d''y?
34277And Dyke was not?
34277And do you believe he killed her?
34277And do you mean to tell me that, although you had been drinking, you were not astonished at the whole business?
34277And has n''t he got a name?
34277And if you have-- to go-- to China-- you w- will take me with you?
34277And now, Mr. White,demanded the barrister,"what have you found out?"
34277And now,said the barrister,"may I ask as a friend to what use you intend to put your newly found wealth?"
34277And the_ lady_? 34277 And then?"
34277And what did Miss Browne say?
34277And what did Mrs. Hillmer mean by kicking up that fuss when we spoke to her?
34277And what did the housekeeper say?
34277And what do you want me to do?
34277And what is that?
34277And what is that?
34277And who are the present holders?
34277And why am I to be kept a prisoner?
34277And why are you interested in Mr. Sydney Corbett?
34277And why did you come away?
34277And you also share it?
34277And you did not tell me?
34277And you have occupied these chambers since August last?
34277And you_ will_ stay?
34277And-- and the girl?
34277Another woman?
34277Are her people against the match? 34277 Are we going to sit here all night?"
34277Are you acquainted with Mr. Corbett''s present address?
34277Are you going to reply to me or not?
34277Are you positive of this?
34277Are you quite sure?
34277Are you sure it was a shawl?
34277Are you sure it''s all right, and that you will not lose your money?
34277Are you''busy''?
34277Arrest_ me_?
34277As how?
34277As soon as I got her in the box at the other end, I said,''Is that you, Gwen?'' 34277 At Brighton?"
34277But I understood,went on Bruce,"that Sir Charles was not at home to ordinary callers?"
34277But do n''t you know where?
34277But how is it shown?
34277But how?
34277But if it can be proved?
34277But if it''s so bad a case as all that, there''s no desperate hurry, is there?
34277But suppose he knows nothing whatever about the business?
34277But those people were my old friends, Mensmore and his sister?
34277But were you not surprised when a man hired your cab under such peculiar circumstances, and paid you such a high fare?
34277But what can Mrs. Hillmer have to conceal? 34277 But what do you think?"
34277But where is the good in paining you needlessly?
34277But why did n''t you call out just now when you came in?
34277But why did you go away?
34277But why has my sister been told that I ran serious risk of being apprehended on that account?
34277But why limit me for twelve months?
34277But why not at least have written to Sir Charles, telling him of your intentions?
34277But why take this precipitate action? 34277 But why the dickens did the police lock up this cabman-- the only witness we could lay our hands upon?
34277But you have not appeared in public?
34277But you must have been very fond of her to feel so keenly when you heard of her death?
34277But''ow''d you know she''s dead, if you''ai n''t seen''er since?
34277By the way, where is your sister? 34277 By the way, where shall I find you in London?"
34277By the way,he said to Phyllis,"did you ever meet Lady Dyke?"
34277Can you be more precise about the period?
34277Can you describe the gentleman?
34277Can you tell me the name of the schoolmaster?
34277Can you tell me with absolute certainty the date of this change of the furniture?
34277Confound it, how could you know I was here?
34277Could not the tide have done this?
34277Could you not have given notice? 34277 Could you swear to him if you saw him?"
34277Could you tell us, if you were shown a certain person, that he was_ not_ the man? 34277 Curious, is it not, for a person to be killed in such a manner by such an instrument?"
34277Dead?
34277Did I omit that? 34277 Did I?"
34277Did any one besides yourself see the gentleman carrying the lady into the cab?
34277Did he see her?
34277Did he? 34277 Did n''t I tell you so?"
34277Did n''t you come to see me about the deal in the first instance?
34277Did not the lady speak or move in any manner?
34277Did she ask for these things?
34277Did she drive?
34277Did she give you any hint as to a possible cause for this apparently unnecessary crime?
34277Did she-- tell you his real name?
34277Did the gentleman keep your cab waiting long at the kerb before he brought the lady out?
34277Did the whole of the contents of your drawing- room come from your sister''s flat?
34277Did they now? 34277 Did you ascertain the names of the parties?"
34277Did you find him?
34277Did you give her any reason for your absurd resolution?
34277Did you hear that her ladyship had gone to Richmond?
34277Did you inflict all this wretched story on a woman you loved and hoped to marry?
34277Did you know Lady Dyke personally, Bertie?
34277Did you know his wife?
34277Did you not say I was out?
34277Did you see them?
34277Did you tell him?
34277Disagreeable? 34277 Do I understand, Bruce, that we meet with no more suspicion between us than when we last saw each other?"
34277Do n''t you see you have proposed to the lady and practically been accepted?
34277Do n''t you see,he almost moaned,"that this is the reason I have remained indoors for so long?
34277Do n''t you think you have troubled him sufficiently for this evening? 34277 Do the police know all this?"
34277Do they dare to say that Bertie killed her?
34277Do they? 34277 Do you both own the ranch?"
34277Do you go out much to theatres, nowadays?
34277Do you hear that, Bertie?
34277Do you hear that, White?
34277Do you intend to show this letter to Lady Dyke''s relatives?
34277Do you know how she went?
34277Do you know what you are saying?
34277Do you mean by a search warrant?
34277Do you mean that he will kill himself?
34277Do you mean the wife of Sir Charles Dyke?
34277Do you mean to say, Claude,he cried, fretfully,"that I do not know my wife''s writing when I see it?"
34277Do you mean,he asked,"that you will answer my questions?"
34277Do you not see,he said at last,"that your vehemence reveals your thoughts?
34277Do you object to my presence in this inquiry? 34277 Do you really believe he is in the States, sir?"
34277Do you really believe, then, that she met her death in London?
34277Do you remember a handsome ornamental fender being among these articles?
34277Do you remember me?
34277Do you tell me that any one can come here and take any letters which may be stuck in that rack?
34277Do you think it was I?
34277Dreamt?
34277Eh? 34277 February 4?
34277Found anything?
34277From the railway official''s description? 34277 Going away?"
34277Going to hunt here?
34277Had the maid no idea as to the date of this interesting occurrence?
34277Has Jane Harding been here, then?
34277Has business improved recently?
34277Has she been with you long?
34277Has the estate changed hands frequently then?
34277Has your search developed in other directions?
34277Have I?
34277Have they ever been thoroughly examined by any one?
34277Have you and Sir Charles been friendly since?
34277Have you another Springbok proposition on hand?
34277Have you any objection to a copy being made?
34277Have you any other specimens of her writing? 34277 Have you been keeping guard over me?"
34277Have you ever heard of a Colonel Montgomery?
34277Have you ever heard the name?
34277Have you formed any sort of theory, even a wildly speculative one?
34277Have you known this long?
34277Have you no faith in human nature, Mr. White? 34277 Have you prevailed on your sister to take us into her confidence?"
34277Heavens, Claude, how did you learn all this?
34277Here guv''nor,he yelled,"what the ballyhooley do you call this?"
34277Home? 34277 Honor bright?"
34277How are you? 34277 How can I tell?
34277How can it be a fraud? 34277 How can you dare to detain me?"
34277How did you come to have a portrait of Sir Charles in your possession?
34277How did you learn that?
34277How do you know?
34277How have you identified the clothes?
34277How much''com''do you want?
34277How old is he?
34277How should I? 34277 I hope you do not regard killing time as your main occupation?"
34277I hope you shook hands with him as he asked you to do?
34277I imagine she had not much more to tell you?
34277I suppose these things are soon lost sight of?
34277I take it that we are talking with a definite view to business?
34277If you knew all this, how comes it that more did not transpire at the coroner''s inquiry?
34277In London, do you mean, sir? 34277 In the first place,"said Bruce,"let me ask you whether or not you have seen Jane Harding, the missing maid?"
34277In what case?
34277In what respect?
34277In what way?
34277Indeed, what is the matter?
34277Indeed?
34277Intimately?
34277Is Miss Marie le Marchant still employed here?
34277Is Mrs. Hillmer at home?
34277Is it genuine?
34277Is it not better to end all inquiries, at least so far as my wife is concerned? 34277 Is it not known what became of him, then?"
34277Is it not more than likely that she had a bad attack of nerves?
34277Is it not true that you suspect me of murdering Lady Dyke?
34277Is n''t this Corbett?
34277Is such a thing possible for a domestic servant?
34277Is there any other way?
34277Is this palaverin''to go on all night?
34277It might''a''bin a minute or two?
34277It threatens to remain a mystery, does it not?
34277It was broken, you say? 34277 It was equally indisputable that she was put to death by malice aforethought?"
34277It would n''t be the first time you thought that; eh, my friend?
34277It''s you, is it?
34277Just now I want to know how old the''son''is?
34277Lady Dyke?
34277Learnt what truth?
34277Look here,he said, avoiding Bruce''s steadfast gaze,"what are you talking about?
34277May I ask what you quarrelled about?
34277May I ask who the present owner is?
34277May I see it? 34277 May I venture to inquire who Dobson is?"
34277May we come in and wait for him?
34277Maybe you remember these?
34277Maybe, but why should''e come pokin''round''ere pryin''into your little affairs- deecur?
34277Me, sir?
34277Miss Harding is doing well on the stage, then?
34277Mr. Corbett in?
34277Mr. White told you that, did he?
34277My what?
34277No longer?
34277No telegram or message?
34277No, I do not represent Dodge& Co."Is there something else then? 34277 Not Jane Harding, surely?"
34277Now who would have thought such a thing possible? 34277 Now you know the charge,"he shouted,"are you coming with us quietly, or--""Or what?"
34277Now, is that so? 34277 Now, who on earth can_ he_ be?
34277Now, wot''s the gyme?
34277Now,''ow upon earth can you''it upon things that way, sir? 34277 Oh, Mr. Bruce, is it you?
34277On what charge?
34277On what ground?
34277On whose account, then?
34277Others? 34277 Peculiar-- how?"
34277Really now, may I ask why, sir?
34277Remain to meet your-- your mistress? 34277 Say, Rosenheim, who''s the new coryphà © e over there?"
34277Scotland Yard and yourself evolved the same theory, eh? 34277 Seen Sydney H. Corbett, you mean?"
34277Shall I order the carriage for your ladyship?
34277Shall I see you again soon?
34277Shall I send for a doctor?
34277She''s dead, you s''y?
34277Since when?
34277Sir Charles is not at home?
34277Smith, have you been drinking?
34277So he was locked up?
34277So this find of mine is of great importance?
34277So this wretched imbroglio may cost you the love of a charming and devoted girl?
34277So you really trust me?
34277So you refuse me an explanation?
34277Some workmen?
34277Suppose the French police do n''t succeed in catching him?
34277Suppose you call and see me in Victoria Street at nine?
34277Surely he is not dead?
34277Surely things look black now against this Mensmore?
34277Surely this mistaken idea can be shaken?
34277Surely you know whether or not she is at home?
34277Surely, you feel ill? 34277 Surely, you must feel that some explanation is due to us for your extraordinary behavior?"
34277Tell me,said Bruce, between the contemplative puffs of a cigar,"what induced you to think of suicide?"
34277That will be very nice, wo n''t it? 34277 The charge is one of murder, is n''t it?"
34277The incoming people have not yet arrived?
34277The place has been systematically cleared, eh?
34277The police, indeed,she snorted;"what have the police to do with me?
34277Then I take it that great force must have been used?
34277Then did Corbett travel by the same mail as this letter in order to murder Lady Dyke? 34277 Then may I come in and await her arrival?"
34277Then tell me what has happened since to cause this obvious change in your opinion of me?
34277Then what am I to do?
34277Then what is her brother''s name?
34277Then what is his real name?
34277Then where does the money come from? 34277 Then where is he?"
34277Then who is Mr. Sydney H. Corbett whom you believe, as well as I, to be the murderer of Lady Dyke?
34277Then who the---- is it?
34277Then why are you so surprised at the suggestion that the lady should attempt to cross the Atlantic?
34277Then why did n''t you tell me?
34277Then why did you look so worried during dinner?
34277Then why do n''t you find the man who caused all the mischief-- and-- and-- lock him up at least, so that he can not go on injuring people?
34277Then why do you hesitate to agree with me?
34277Then why have you told me all these things that tell so heavily against him?
34277Then you are the man whom the police are now searching for?
34277Then you did not mention Lady Dyke to her?
34277Then you require some £7,500?
34277Then you were at Putney?
34277There is no reason now,broke in the detective,"why the body should not be moved?"
34277This is n''t a five- pun''job, eh, guv''nor?
34277This time, then, the''properties''made up the''show,''as Miss Harding would put it?
34277Thompson,said Bruce,"does Sir Charles usually lock his door?"
34277To whom?
34277Unable, or unwilling?
34277Was I, indeed? 34277 Was it because you saw me drive up in a carriage?"
34277Was it to ask about my health that you came?
34277Was it?
34277Was that step necessary at your time of life?
34277Well, Claude,he said wearily,"anything to report?"
34277Well, Mr. Bruce, have you a theory? 34277 Well, sir, it is a great thing to have localized her movements at that hour, is n''t it?"
34277Well, what are we to do?
34277Well?
34277Were there many people about?
34277Were you in the Square or in Sloane Street?
34277What about Mrs. Hillmer? 34277 What about my debts?"
34277What are they doing here?
34277What are you doing_ here_?
34277What are you going to do about Corbett?
34277What can we do to unravel this tangled skein without creating untold mischief?
34277What did you quarrel about?
34277What did you say?
34277What did you want here, anyhow?
34277What do you know about her?
34277What do you make of it, Claude?
34277What do you make of it?
34277What do you mean by''conscious or unconscious''?
34277What do you mean?
34277What do you think of that?
34277What else can I do when you ask me?
34277What good was there in torturing you? 34277 What if I refuse?"
34277What information?
34277What is it you want to know?
34277What is it, Simmonds?
34277What is it?
34277What is it?
34277What is this nonsense Mensmore''s sister talked about being responsible for my wife''s death?
34277What is?
34277What of her?
34277What of him?
34277What on earth did you say?
34277What on earth is going on?
34277What people?
34277What proportion of share capital is falling in on the reconstruction scheme?
34277What shall I do?
34277What sort of man is Corbett? 34277 What steps are you taking?"
34277What the Dickens has that got to do with it? 34277 What the dickens do you mean?"
34277What then, pray?
34277What then?
34277What was it?
34277What was the nature of the injuries that caused death?
34277What were they doing?
34277What''s in the wind there? 34277 What''s the matter?"
34277What''s wrong, Jim?
34277What, and leave Mrs. Hillmer to die of sheer pain of mind? 34277 What?"
34277What?
34277What_ are_ we after?
34277Whatever could have come to my master to do such a thing?
34277When did Mrs. Hillmer leave Raleigh Mansions?
34277Where did he tell you to drive to?
34277Where did you stop?
34277Where else? 34277 Where is it?"
34277Where was this man tried?
34277Whereabouts?
34277Who did he kill?
34277Who is that, Billy?
34277Who is this Lady Dyke in whom you are so deeply interested?
34277Who told him?
34277Who told you all this?
34277Who''s the cable for, boy?
34277Whom can my wife have known at Raleigh Mansions? 34277 Why America?"
34277Why did n''t you answer my questions properly, and save all this nonsense?
34277Why do n''t you take my advice, and go away for some shooting? 34277 Why do you put it in that way?
34277Why is Mr. Corbett coming to London?
34277Why not abandon the whole muddle to time? 34277 Why not?
34277Why not?
34277Why should I? 34277 Why should Sir Charles bother his head about me?"
34277Why should you think that?
34277Why the stipulation?
34277Why were the repairs effected at this moment?
34277Why''possibly''? 34277 Why, what has disconcerted you to- day?"
34277Why; what matter?
34277Why? 34277 Why?"
34277Why?
34277Why?
34277Why?
34277Why?
34277Will Lady Dyke hunt this season?
34277Will six this evening suit?
34277Will the gentleman be pleased to consider? 34277 Will we cart him off?"
34277Will you kindly step into the dining- room?
34277Will you listen to me and remember what I have said?
34277Will you not communicate with Sir Charles?
34277Will you write to him now?
34277Wo n''t Mrs. Hillmer tell you?
34277Wo n''t you except pigeon- shooting?
34277Wot was wrong with the lydy? 34277 Would death ensue instantly?"
34277Would it not be better to tell me in your own words what you have to say?
34277Yes,cried Bruce;"but surely you know something about him?"
34277Yes; but that goose did n''t kill anybody, did he?
34277Yes; but this carrying of a lady out of a house in such fashion-- did not this strike you as strange?
34277Yes; do n''t you remember?
34277Yes; your brother, is he not?
34277Yes?
34277You are even willing to perjure yourself,_ Colonel Montgomery_?
34277You are here, I suppose, to ask my advice in pursuance of our understanding that we are working together in the matter, as it were?
34277You are not hurt, I hope?
34277You can get me his real name and post it to me?
34277You can not deny you wrote that letter to Sir Charles Dyke last Saturday?
34277You did not secure his picture?
34277You have quite made up your mind, then, that Sydney H. Corbett is the murderer?
34277You have seen Bertie?
34277You might have obtained your fare to London from the authorities of the Casino?
34277You saw me outside the Jollity Theatre, then?
34277You say she was forcibly placed where found?
34277You told me,he said,"that Mensmore and you were at school together?"
34277Your reasoning appears to be good, but--"But folly must prevail?
34277_ If_ she was, Mr. Bruce? 34277 ''If a chap give you a fiver for drivin''''i m to Putney would n''t you get drunk?'' 34277 ''Then what price that lydy who called for''i m in a keb afore''e went away? 34277 ''Thompson,''sez she,''is Sir Chawles at''ome?'' 34277 ''Well,''said I,''I guess you know who''s talking?'' 34277 ''What has my child done?'' 34277 ''What has that got to do with the charge?'' 34277 ''Wot?'' 34277 A regular society scandal, I suppose?
34277About how long is it since the last letter came for him?"
34277Advancing, with a bow and that fascinating smile of his, he said, pulling forward a chair:"Wo n''t you be seated?"
34277Am I correct in supposing that you were about to march me off to jail just now, when I spoilt the proposition?"
34277Amidst the buzz of comment which arose, Bruce said to his companion:"What''s going on?"
34277An''what''s the little game now?"
34277An''where d''ye think''e was?"
34277An''who''s''e gone to Monte Carlo with?''
34277And he is going to marry, eh?
34277And how can he support a wife?
34277And now, can I request a favor in return?"
34277And now, how do we stand?"
34277And what of the_ real_ Corbett?
34277And who the dickens is Mr. Sydney H. Corbett?
34277And you?"
34277And, then, what possible reason could Lady Dyke have in visiting him voluntarily and secretly at his chambers in Raleigh Mansions?
34277Anything else you would like to know?"
34277Anything else?"
34277Anything else?"
34277Are you a policeman?"
34277Are you coming in?"
34277Are you going to hinder me or help me?
34277Are you ill?
34277Are you in the police?"
34277Are you interested in the case?
34277Are you sent by my friend to kinder cheer me up?
34277Are you-- quite sure-- that Mr. Childe bought the property from Lady Helen Montgomery''s trustees?"
34277Are your servants to be trusted?"
34277Assuming that her ladyship is really alive, why did she leave you?"
34277At last he said with a smile:"Say, what are you after, Mr. White of Scotland Yard?
34277At last she managed to ejaculate:"I-- I-- why do you ask me that question?"
34277At once his agitation became so marked that Bruce cried:"Good heavens, Dyke, what is it?
34277Beastly trying weather, is n''t it?
34277Been seedy?"
34277Besides, why should he necessarily be innocent?
34277Both gazed thoughtfully at the document for a few moments before Phyllis said:"Does that mean we shall be rich, Bertie?"
34277Bruce?"
34277Bruce?"
34277Bruce?"
34277Bruce?"
34277But Mrs. Hillmer went on:"If that is not your business, would you mind telling me what it is?"
34277But am I to report to the Commissioner that Lady Dyke has been found, or has, at any rate, explained that she is not dead?"
34277But are you sure his wife is dead?"
34277But he smiled, and answered:"Do you mean by the look of''em, sir?"
34277But how to discover it?
34277But is it not better to obey her wishes?--to forget, as she puts it?"
34277But may I see Mrs. Hillmer again?
34277But suppose I get an offer from some other quarter in the meantime?
34277But what does it matter now?"
34277But what has all this got to do with detectives, and recent inquiries, and that sort of thing?"
34277But what is a policeman to do in such cases?
34277But what is the usual course for a servant to pursue in such cases?
34277But what is this about the South of France?
34277But why seize this clumsy device when it actually supported a heavy brass poker?
34277But why should Sir Charles Dyke, or you, or any other gentleman, want to destroy a poor girl''s prospects in that fashion?"
34277But you can not say that Lady Dyke may not have met him previously?"
34277But, tell me, is there any necessity for that wonderful document to be preserved?"
34277By the way, do you now see any reason why Jane Harding should have tried to deceive you in such a manner?"
34277By the way, do you smoke?"
34277By the way, what has happened to Corbett?"
34277By the way, what of Raleigh Mansions?"
34277By the way, where did Mensmore live?"
34277Can I be of any service?"
34277Can I oblige you with any more details concerning my family affairs?"
34277Can people writ him in the South of France?
34277Can they ask me to pay his debts?"
34277Can you give me details?"
34277Can you say exactly where you drew up your cab when the lady was carried into it?"
34277Corbett?"
34277Corbett?"
34277Corbett?"
34277Could it be that this was the school in which both Sir Charles Dyke and Mensmore were fellow- students?
34277Could you not trust their words?"
34277D''ye follow me?"
34277Did she ever turn up?"
34277Did the man who killed Lady Dyke reck of these things?
34277Did you ever know a Colonel Montgomery, or was your wife acquainted with any one of that name to your knowledge?"
34277Did you ever''ear anythink like it, sir?"
34277Did you know of Lady Dyke''s death before to- day?"
34277Did you quarrel?"
34277Did you see her?"
34277Do n''t you realize that this affair is all I have to think about in the world?"
34277Do n''t you represent those people on Leadenhall Street, then?"
34277Do n''t you think I had better wire?
34277Do you doubt me?"
34277Do you drink whisky and soda?
34277Do you follow me?"
34277Do you for a moment believe the monstrous insinuation?"
34277Do you know her history?"
34277Do you know him?"
34277Do you know me, sir?"
34277Do you know where she carries a banner?"
34277Do you know where she lives?"
34277Do you think Poe would have gone questioning bar- tenders or inquiring into abortive love affairs?
34277Do you think Sir Charles is in bed?"
34277Do you think she has gone to America?"
34277Do you think you can blind my eyes further?
34277Do you want me to draw up another chair and light a pipe?
34277Do you want the whole neighborhood to know of it?
34277Dodge stopped, focussed Bruce with his sharp eyes, and smiled:"Oh, it is you, is it?
34277Dodge& Co.""No; why do you ask?"
34277Dodge, how is the junior partner?"
34277Dodge, or the son?"
34277Fat, do you mean?"
34277Finally, why did he select that particular portion of the Thames banks for the bestowal of his terrible burden?
34277First, tell me why you adopted the name of Corbett?"
34277Four days ago, eh?"
34277Harding?"
34277Harding?"
34277Has he received them?"
34277Has my friend Mensmore been getting himself into trouble?"
34277Has she gone to join her mistress?"
34277Has she returned?"
34277Have you any doubt about it?"
34277Have you any good things in hand at this moment?"
34277Have you any wraps?"
34277Have you anything else to say, because I wish to join my friends?"
34277Have you come to wipe the floor with me?"
34277Have you ever read any of the works of Edgar Allan Poe?"
34277Have you his description?"
34277Have you not heard from her?"
34277Have you reason to believe that this poor woman--?"
34277Have you seen Miss Browne since?"
34277Hawkins?"
34277He looked at Claude, the picture of astonishment, before he stammered:"I-- you-- who told you about him?"
34277He looked steadily at the man as he said:"Are you quite sure of her ladyship''s orders?"
34277He said casually:"I mean where was the school situated?"
34277He was wondering what he should do in the matter, when the baronet rose at his entrance, saying, with a weary smile:"Well, old fellow, what news?"
34277Her comments betrayed such an accurate acquaintance with the technique of the stage that he said to her,"You must have acted a good deal?"
34277Hillmer?"
34277Hillmer?"
34277Hillmer?"
34277How came this to happen?"
34277How can I hope to fathom your real intent?
34277How can I raise the wind for my little lot?"
34277How can you connect him with my wife''s death?"
34277How do you manage always to get ahead of us?"
34277How do your wife''s people bear the continued mystery of her disappearance?"
34277How have you blundered upon that solution?"
34277How is she?"
34277How on earth could I guess, Mr. Bruce, that you''d come letting yourself in here with a latchkey?"
34277How too late?"
34277How would it result?
34277How?"
34277How_ could_ you so meanly induce my confidence at our first meeting?
34277I am awfully obliged to you, but--""But you wish me to walk on and mind my own business?"
34277I hope my mates did not treat you too badly?"
34277I just rang her up--""Rang her up?"
34277I missed''i m about the Square, so one d''y I axes at the rank,--''Where''s Foxey?''
34277I promised to tell you everything I did, so I will keep my promise, but you will, of course, differentiate between facts and theories?"
34277I remember its contents sufficiently, but you will let me see it again if necessary?"
34277I wonder if he_ did_ dine at Hampstead on the evening of the murder, as he said at the inquest?
34277I wonder who he can be?
34277If he did, what would result?
34277If not, why did he bolt to France two days after the crime?
34277If she refused what could be her motive?
34277If so, who on earth was Corbett, and why had Mensmore taken his name, if that was the solution of the tangle?
34277If so, why?
34277If the man did not desire his whereabouts to be known, why did he leave his address at the post- office?
34277In any case, why did she conceal the real nature of her earnings?
34277Instead of answering the barrister''s question as to whether Sir Charles was at home or not, he said:"You are Mr. Bruce, sir, are n''t you?"
34277Is her husband alive?"
34277Is it a matter of importance?
34277Is mamma frightened about her angel?
34277Is n''t it a lovely night?"
34277Is n''t she a brick?"
34277Is n''t the weather horrid?
34277Is not that his right name?"
34277Is she a nice girl?"
34277Is she in England or abroad?"
34277Is she in the profession?
34277Is she really worth a lot of''oof?"
34277Is that why this Scotland Yard man--?"
34277Is that you, Mr. Mensmore?
34277Is there anything else in which I may be of service?"
34277It is a queer muddle, Mr. Corbett, is it not?"
34277Let this unfortunate fellow, Mensmore, suffer no one knows what consequences from the events of to- day?
34277May I ask what luck you have had, sir?"
34277May I ask you to let me know the result?"
34277May I ask your reason for showing him this consideration?"
34277May I light a cigar?"
34277No bad news, I hope?"
34277Now, Mr. White of Scotland Yard, are you going to act like a reasonable man, or must I keep your nose in line with the barrel?"
34277Now, was n''t that a rum go?"
34277Now, what on earth is the upshot of this business to be?
34277Now, who would ever have thought it of him?"
34277Now, why was that?
34277Of what matter to him was the suffering of a sister or sweetheart?
34277Perhaps got a chill, eh?
34277Perhaps she did go there?"
34277Quite swell, eh?
34277See?"
34277Shall I pay her another visit and surprise her?
34277Shall I tell him?"
34277Shall we endeavor to trace her?"
34277She managed to murmur at the door:"Where are you taking me to, Bertie?"
34277She was not disinclined for a conversation with this good- looking gentleman, so she smiled archly, as she said:"Did n''t you know, sir?
34277Shielded us from what?
34277Should we be enlightened by tobacco smoke?"
34277So I discovered the address of the people who supplied the new articles to Mrs. Hillmer--""How?"
34277Strange, is it not?
34277Suppose they ask about your wife?"
34277Surely, you had learned something of all this before my arrival?"
34277The Dykes are friends of yours?"
34277The barrister took thought for a while before he inquired:"Why did you go to the Casino to- night, if you did not patronize the tables as a rule?"
34277The barrister tried to cheer him by a little bit of raillery:"I hope you have not succeeded too well?"
34277The inspector was saved from further indiscretions by Sir Charles Dyke''s plaintive question:"Why did you not tell me these things sooner, Claude?"
34277The latter opened it and read:"What is the matter?
34277The latter, halting for a moment at the door, said quietly,"Is your name Corbett?"
34277The maid said,''Surely not Colonel Montgomery, madam?''
34277The policeman, who was very earnest and very excited, banged his hand on the table as he cried:"Do n''t you see what all this amounts to?
34277The rent was due, then?"
34277The tall standard bearer or the little girl who pirouettes so gracefully?"
34277Then I ask you straight out if you do n''t agree with me?"
34277Then came the pertinent query, after a glance at his card, which she still held in her hand:"Who are you, Mr.--Mr. Claude Bruce?"
34277Then you think it is in some way connected with the woman found at Putney?"
34277Then, after a little pause:"May I ask his name?"
34277There was no answer, so I shouted,''Are you there?''
34277They came here by their own appointment, and--""Did I not tell you that this charge against Mensmore was wild folly on the face of it?"
34277They distinctly heard the polite knock at the door and Thompson''s query,"Are you asleep, Sir Charles?"
34277They pretty?"
34277This is odd, is it not?
34277To whom could he turn for possible enlightenment?
34277Under what circumstances did she die?
34277Victoria, Sloane Square, or Richmond-- does it matter which?
34277Was Albert Mensmore Sydney H. Corbett?
34277Was ever more outlandish instrument used with murderous intent?
34277Was he Mrs. Hillmer''s brother?
34277Was her husband alive or dead?
34277Was it a habduction?"
34277Was it a hint?
34277Was it cast- iron?"
34277Was it reasonable that the girl could be the recipient of a legacy without the knowledge of her mother?
34277Was n''t he there?"
34277Was the man who conveyed Lady Dyke''s body from Raleigh Mansions to Putney responsible also for her death?
34277Was there any need to bring Mrs. Hillmer''s name into the business?
34277Was this"Colonel Montgomery"in any way connected with the house at Putney where the murderer had disposed of the body?
34277Well, what is it?"
34277Were they bought second- hand?
34277What cabman?"
34277What curse has come upon the house that both should go?"
34277What did he say?"
34277What did it all mean?
34277What did you expect?"
34277What do you make of that?"
34277What do you mean by wire?
34277What do you mean?"
34277What do you say?''
34277What has Lady Dyke''s death to do with your marriage to Miss Browne?"
34277What has it got to do with you, anyhow?"
34277What interpretation was he to place upon her words and her unrestrained actions?
34277What is it you want to know?"
34277What is there new about his wife?"
34277What is your motive for deliberately trying to conceal Lady Dyke''s death?
34277What new terror did not this frightful combination suggest?
34277What of them?"
34277What on earth has_ he_ got to do with it, and why has Mensmore taken his name?
34277What other inference can be drawn than that she was foully done to death?"
34277What other pretext could I invite for-- for giving her up?"
34277What others?"
34277What possible reason could he have had to decoy my wife to his flat and there murder her?"
34277What respect have you shown to me that I should now seem even to accept your excuses?"
34277What shall I do?
34277What shall I do?"
34277What shall I say?"
34277What sort of places are they?"
34277What the dickens does it all mean, I want to know?
34277What would have resulted from the discovery of a chemist''s mortar among the possessions of one of Elizabeth Camp''s male friends?
34277What would you advise?
34277What''s the game?
34277What''s the matter?
34277What''s up?
34277What?"
34277When Mrs. Harding quitted the room her daughter said in the crisp accents of ill- temper:"What do you want with me, now?"
34277When will they be in a position to complete?"
34277When, and how?"
34277Whence did she obtain the money that enabled her to blossom forth as Marie le Marchant?
34277Where did Lady Dyke die?
34277Where did you pick her up?"
34277Where have you bin?
34277Where is his letter?"
34277Which one is it?
34277White?"
34277White?"
34277White?"
34277Who are her friends?
34277Who ever threatened to put you or your sister in the dock?"
34277Who had any right to stop me?"
34277Who is she?
34277Who is she?
34277Who is she?"
34277Who maintains her in such style?
34277Who was Sydney H. Corbett?
34277Who was he?"
34277Who was her confidant?
34277Who''s been fooling you?"
34277Who-- was-- the lady?"
34277Whom did Mrs. Hillmer marry?
34277Whom do you represent?"
34277Why could you not let me finish the business in my own way?"
34277Why did Mensmore adopt a false name; and, in any case, why adopt the name of Corbett?
34277Why did Mrs. Hillmer exhibit such sudden terror lest her brother might be guilty?
34277Why did he pretend ignorance not only of the locality but of his mother''s maiden name?
34277Why did his friend conceal from him these most important facts?
34277Why did she have that fear?
34277Why did you not tell me sooner?"
34277Why do n''t you have el- e- vators in these big buildings?"
34277Why do you ask?"
34277Why do you ask?"
34277Why do you ask?"
34277Why do you hesitate?
34277Why does he take pains to receive his correspondence in the manner he has adopted?
34277Why had Jane Harding quitted her situation so suddenly?
34277Why has he concealed his identity?
34277Why not accomplish quietly that which will perforce be done through the uncompromising channels of Scotland Yard?"
34277Why on earth can not you take a polite hint, and leave me to myself?"
34277Why should she come to see me?
34277Why should you seek to avert suspicion from others merely because Lady Dyke is shown to have met her death in your apartments?"
34277Why was it necessary to create a further scandal in addition to the disappearance of your unfortunate mistress?"
34277Why, otherwise, should she make to the footman and myself the same unvarying statement?
34277Why, then, allow others, wholly innocent, to be dragged into the vortex?
34277Why?"
34277Why?"
34277Will you accept it?"
34277Will you arrange to start West with me a fortnight hence?
34277Will you be good enough to say what you''re after?"
34277Will you be home to lunch?
34277Will you get tea ready while I talk with him?
34277Will you give me a copy of the letter?"
34277Will you kindly tell me what you want, sir, as my time is fully occupied?"
34277With calm tone, and slightly elevated eyebrows, she said:"You wish to see me, I understand?"
34277Would Mensmore, guilty, seek safety in flight?
34277Would he, innocent, return to London and demand to be confronted with his accusers?
34277Would she not have sought first to glorify herself in the sight of her fellow- servants, and even of her employers?
34277Would there not have been the display of a splendid departure-- in a hansom-- with voluble directions to the driver, for the benefit of the footman?
34277You did n''t hear, I suppose, that I have made my little nephew my heir?"
34277You do a great deal of underwriting, mostly for the flotation of gold- mining companies?"
34277You do n''t want to go to bed, I suppose?"
34277You know Sir Charles Dyke, do you not?"
34277have you had influenza?
34277he cried,"have you any more startlers up your sleeve, or is that the finish?"
34277he cried,"you think she is there all the time?"
34277moaned Bruce, as he swayed restlessly to and fro in his chair,"is it possible?"
45629A pack of timber wolves, you mean, buddy-- the big, gray chaps that can pull down a deer as easy as a mountain lion would do the job?
45629Across the border-- into Canada, partner?
45629Ai n''t quite forgot Gabe Perkiser, have you, ol''top? 45629 Ai n''t she ready to take the air, Boss?"
45629An''tell me, where do we go from Spokane?
45629Another o''them slick hunches o''yourn, eh partner?
45629As what, Boss?
45629Awake are you, ol''hoss?
45629But how could anybody know what sorter job we''re goin''to wrestle with next, even''fore we got a glimmer o''it ourselves?
45629But-- I''m younger than you, Perk, spryer too-- it ought to be my game, do n''t you see?
45629But-- see here Jack, you do n''t mean to let''em have the merry ha ha on us, I sure hope? 45629 Can you tie that?"
45629Even if you did manage to hang on and climb inside, what good would it do-- how get the woman and child across the gap?
45629Get him yet?
45629Goin''to use the pontoons again, eh partner?
45629How about it now?
45629How''s things?
45629Is n''t it about time for_ grub_?
45629It''s a girl then?
45629Jack, you''re meanin''to drop down, ai n''t you?
45629Meanin''who, if it''s all the same to you, partner?
45629Mebbe now, it might be that you could give a sorter guess''bout that job we''re goin''to have tacked on to us right away? 45629 Must be drawing close to the fur- trading post, I''d reckon, eh partner?"
45629Nearly two o''clock right now-- c''n we get off this afternoon, partner?
45629Okay Boss?
45629Say, was you meanin''to pick out one o''these lakes for a campin''place tonight, eh, ol''hoss?
45629So, that''s one of them, is it?
45629Sure did, Jack, and now the next question is, can we hop off from here when the right time comes along?
45629Sure you saw some one are you, Perk?
45629The chase is on then, it seems, Perk; what d''ye reckon they''re after?
45629This the right place?
45629W- hy-- what in tarnation thunder is that big monster, Jack?
45629Well, what do you think of that for a corking dodge?
45629Well, what of it?
45629What do you mean buddy?
45629What dye s''pose them yaps think''bout us flyin''so low down over their heads like we wanted to take a peep at the mule pack train?
45629What''s that, boy?
45629What''s that, buddy? 45629 What''s the matter at Spokane?
45629What''s the matter-- what ails you, Perk?
45629What''s the name he goes by up there?
45629What''s the program after we''ve cleaned up this mess, eh partner?
45629When and how did this happen?
45629Where bound, for the love o''mike?
45629Where did you get that picture?
45629Which way now, partner?
45629Who cares?
45629Who''s been handlin''you rough, brother?
45629Why-- what-- here, what business you got takin''my property?
45629Wonder what did ail the boat to make that stick go dead so you could n''t get a wiggle outen it?
45629Yeah?
45629Yes, what can it be, do you think, Perk?
45629Yes, what is it, Perk?
45629You reckon then they''ll have a lookout posted to command the approach, and get wind of any threatening danger?
45629Adrian-- Adrian_ what_?"
45629An''if it''s a fair question, ol''hoss,_ when_ do we cal''late to pull out o''this burg?"
45629Any more light on who did that dirty, sneaky job last night, eh what?"
45629Any real particular news come your way down thar in town, Jack?"
45629Birdseye Baker, glad to see you''re still on deck-- ain''t forgot Gabe Perkiser, have you, Oldtimer?"
45629But say, what are we goin''to do''bout this thing-- why do you strike down closer, I want to know, Jack?"
45629But whatever can it be mules has got to do with coaxin''us to turn aside from our main trail, I''d like to know?"
45629But, to change the subject, I''m botherin''my poor brain tryin''to figger out which way we''ll face when the orders come breezin''along?"
45629Can you make the venture, lady?"
45629Can you tie it for keepin''a poor feller''s nerves all on edge?"
45629Did I hear you say_ mules_?"
45629Did n''t he say the close season was on with all game that you c''n eat and that the Mounties might get me if I took chances and nailed that big boy?
45629Do n''t I know him from his moccasins up, the queerest but straightest man in the whole Northwest Territory?
45629Ever meet up with Sergeant Lowden, Perk?"
45629From now on this has to be a whirlwind campaign, and no mistake-- get that, partner?"
45629Have n''t forgotten that, eh, Perk old fellow?"
45629How about that, Perk?"
45629How about you and the boy?"
45629How long will we be stickin''round this Spokane airport, I wonder?"
45629How''bout it, Jack, ol''hoss?"
45629How''bout it, old hoss?"
45629How''bout that, Jack?"
45629How''bout the place you took dinner at-- good enough to stand an encore, buddy?"
45629I came up here to hunt big game and if it happens to run on two legs, why, what''s the odds?
45629I''ll dream o''this for a month o''Sundays but ai n''t it a thrillin''sight though?"
45629I''m set to carry along every shell I fetched up here with me-- this is the job they''re meant for, an''why be a miser''bout it?"
45629III BRIDGING THE GAP"Which window, Perk?"
45629Jack, that was a great snap you gave me an''chances are, Mister-- er, hey, what''s this mean?"
45629Knowed it was somethin''that begun with a B, did n''t I tell you?
45629Let me have my way,_ please_, partner, wo n''t you?"
45629Look at that burst of flame will you?
45629McGregor?"
45629Might have bust our biler an''then where''d we been, tell me?
45629Now I wonder if you thought to ask what her name might be?"
45629Now would n''t that jar you though-- such great luck?"
45629Perk seemed to catch it first, for he jumped up and broke loose by crying:"Hear that, partner?
45629Perk suddenly gasped,"see that black smudge blowin''in from a side street ol''hoss?
45629Reckon now there''s anythin''in that report, Jack?"
45629Say, did n''t we feel a great big thrill just before making the grab?
45629She''s a genuine cloud- chaser, boy, an''do n''t take any guy''s dust-- am I right''bout that, Boss?"
45629So we''re meanin''to pick up a bunch o''news at Spokane, are we?
45629Some o''them Bolshevik miners broke loose over in Idaho an''threatenin''to kick up general hell again like they''ve done so many times?"
45629Then in addition to those chances, what if their ship became totally disabled?
45629Then what''s to be done?"
45629Then, as if noting the absence of Old Jimmy the factor, Perk continued, looking anxiously around:"But where''s Jimmy right now, I want to know?
45629They still keep on coming though; men, women and lots of children who''d be better off at home I reckon still, what would you have?
45629Under the unfortunate circumstances what can I do to further your plans, sir?
45629What ails the Mounties, I wanter know, when they slip up on a job like this?
45629What say to taking a turn around and getting a view from another quarter?"
45629Would it be possible to make the jump from such a wretched field, with its many bumpy spots calculated to cause the moving craft to wobble fiercely?
45629Would n''t that jar you, ol''hoss?"
45629XIV THE BOOTLEG PACK- MULE TRAIN"What''s up?"
45629ai n''t this glorious sport though?"
45629an''do we expect to try an''rustle stolen mules this time?
45629and do you reckon there''s any truth in what this paper says or did it jest boil up in the brain o''one o''them reporters, eh Jack ol''hoss?"
45629but ai n''t life queer though?"
45629but then what''d I find to worry''bout if I did n''t pick on the way we''re kept in the dark up to the last minute?"
45629but this is a heap int''restin''I''m sayin'', eh Jack?"
45629guess now you might mean whether they had anything to fear''bout our ship or not, eh partner?"
45629guess you must mean the notched wings, eh, partner?"
45629jest hear''em whoopin''things up, will you?"
45629jest see the cowardly critter lope out o''here, will you, partner?"
45629let me make the try, partner-- sure I c''n do such a little stunt okay-- let off, wo n''t you, Jack?"
45629like I might be in a cutout-- brain all in a mixup-- what c''n we do, Boss-- knock that cop over an''skoot upstairs?"
45629now ai n''t that a danged shame though?"
45629now, what in thunder does all that distant racket mean?"
45629partner, does it look to you like some crazy snooper set fire to the hangar under the belief that our ship was locked in there?"
45629running this train in sections are they?"
45629so,_ that''s_ the way the scent leads us, is it?"
45629what''s all this mean?
45629what''s been goin''on''round the post here, boys?"
38981A brother?
38981A reporter?
38981A story?
38981And I suppose you know that she loves me, in spite of your objections?
38981And I think you said two shots were fired at the thief?
38981And Miss Meredith?
38981And if I say that Mr. Herbert happens to be a friend of mine?
38981And is he a nice young man?
38981And no other woman there wore such a dress?
38981And that you and Mr. Meredith are practically of the same build?
38981And that you are breaking her heart by your mutton- headed objection to me?
38981And the Girl? 38981 And the Girl?"
38981And the casket?
38981And the other machine?
38981And this girl was dressed like a Western girl?
38981And you, Blanton?
38981And you?
38981And-- what else?
38981Anything you want to say?
38981Are those lights still there?
38981Are you hurt?
38981Are you positive the letter is in your son''s handwriting?
38981Are you the man who stole the gold plate?
38981Are you_ trying_ to convict me?
38981Arrest you?
38981As I understand it,the scientist went on, not heeding the question,"you did not believe Herbert guilty of the first theft?"
38981Back or front?
38981Book agent?
38981Business good?
38981But could n''t you?
38981But how came it in your possession?
38981But what can we do?
38981But you did love me-- once?
38981Ca n''t you go a little slower?
38981Ca n''t you think of a hotel or boarding- house near by?
38981Can you prove it in a court of law?
38981Certainly before unmasking- time,she said,"because-- because I think there is someone here who knows, or suspects, that----""Suspects what?"
38981Clever, was n''t it?
38981Dead?
38981Detective?
38981Diamond rings?
38981Dick Herbert, explain to me, please, what you are doing with that gold plate?
38981Dick, are you awake?
38981Dick, is that you?
38981Did Mr. Herbert say anything when arrested?
38981Did Mr. Meredith arrive from Baltimore?
38981Did he give any reason for his refusal to say anything?
38981Did it ever happen to occur to you, Mr. Herbert, that Harry Meredith and his father are precisely of the same build?
38981Did it have anything to do with theft?
38981Did n''t you find anything at all about the premises?
38981Did she mention my name?
38981Did the injury to your arm,he went on after the approved manner of attorney for the prosecution,"prevent you going to the ball?"
38981Did the person who''phoned give you a name?
38981Did you come in the auto?
38981Did you get an invitation to the Randolph ball?
38981Did you get it?
38981Did you go?
38981Did you notice if the card presented at the door by the Burglar on the evening of the masked ball at Seven Oaks bore a name?
38981Did you notice the handwriting on the card the Burglar gave you?
38981Did you see her?
38981Did your father ever happen to tell you_ why_ he objects to my attentions to you?
38981Do you believe me guilty?
38981Do you believe that I stole the plate?
38981Do you deny that you got it?
38981Do you happen to know where she was?
38981Do you happen to know,he asked,"if Miss Meredith attended the Randolph ball at Seven Oaks on Thursday evening?"
38981Do you have any idea where Miss Meredith was?
38981Do you know that he was wounded?
38981Do you know the young gentleman?
38981Do you know where Miss Dorothy Meredith is?
38981Do you know who_ was_ in the automobile?
38981Do you now believe him guilty?
38981Do you really believe he is the man who came here as the Burglar?
38981Do you really want to go with me?
38981Do you remember the name?
38981Do you_ know_ he_ is_ there?
38981Do you_ know_ that?
38981Does it happen that you have as cleverly traced her?
38981Does your arm pain you?
38981Does your daughter know anything of that affair?
38981Dollie, do n''t you love me?
38981Eavesdropping, eh?
38981Eloped with her?
38981Except what?
38981Fixed? 38981 Guess you never got caught in a pickle like this before?"
38981Had n''t thought of it?
38981Had n''t we better go back to the village and see a doctor?
38981Had n''t you seen me?
38981Has he said anything since?
38981Have you been reading the papers?
38981Have you seen Miss Meredith again?
38981Heard anything from Miss Meredith?
38981Heard the news?
38981Her?
38981How about the jewelry that was stolen from your other guests?
38981How can I when I helped you run away with the horrid stuff?
38981How dare he come here? 38981 How dare you, sir?"
38981How did he die?
38981How did you ever come to hit on a costume like that?
38981How do I know it? 38981 How do you know that?"
38981How long has Mr. Meredith been there?
38981How long has he been dead?
38981How long was I knocked out?
38981How many persons do you suppose actually attended the ball?
38981How much is it worth to you to know if Miss Meredith went to the masked ball?
38981How much is it worth?
38981How much?
38981How much?
38981How-- how long,she asked,"have you been a-- a-- a-- kleptomaniac?"
38981How-- how-- did you happen to know her name?
38981Hunh?
38981Hunh?
38981Husband beat you?
38981I do n''t suppose Mr. Herbert explained how he got the wound?
38981I do n''t suppose it possible that Miss Meredith has returned to Baltimore?
38981I do n''t suppose there''s any doubt in your mind of my affection for your daughter?
38981I do n''t suppose you''ve heard anything further from Miss Meredith?
38981I mean, do you recall if it was different in any way from the handwriting on the other cards?
38981I merely wanted to inquire if it would be permissible for me to see that cushion?
38981I ought to throw you down the stairs, but-- what is it?
38981I prefer that you keep it,she insisted firmly,"for, besides, I shall have to ask you to let me have fare back to the city-- a couple of dollars?
38981I presume that, on its return by express, Mr. Randolph ordered the plate placed in the small room as before?
38981I presume, Miss Meredith,he said solemnly,"that the maid informed you of my identity?"
38981I understand, by the way, that one of your men took a leather cushion from the automobile in which the thieves escaped on the night of the ball?
38981If Doctor Walpole should dress a wound and should later, under oath, point out its exact location, you would believe him?
38981If Hatch knew it why did n''t he tell me?
38981If I pledge you my word of honour that I told you the truth?
38981If it had been would you have noticed it?
38981If you''ll tell me something about Miss Meredith-- who she is and all that?
38981In a hurry?
38981Indeed?
38981Is Mrs. Greyton in?
38981Is everything ready?
38981Is he here now?
38981Is it necessary to go so awfully fast?
38981Is it really and truly you?
38981Is n''t it a fact that you did intend to elope with her on Thursday evening?
38981Is that all?
38981Is that correct?
38981Is that enough?
38981Is there anything I can do?
38981It does n''t happen,he went on,"that, by any possible chance, you know anything about it, does it?"
38981It was a detective-- you know that?
38981It''s perfectly asinine to suppose that_ she_ had anything to do with either theft, do n''t you think?
38981Just what do you know of this affair?
38981Kissed me?
38981Left no clew, of course?
38981Loaded?
38981Make to order, I s''pose?
38981May I ask his present address?
38981May I ask if you happen to know Richard Herbert?
38981May I ask where_ you_ were last Thursday night?
38981May I ask your son''s address?
38981May I ask, Mr. Meredith,he began,"how many sons you have?"
38981May I ask,he inquired with pronounced emphasis on the personal pronoun,"why you want to know?"
38981May I inquire,she asked, after she recovered her breath,"the cause of this-- this levity?"
38981May I see Miss Meredith for a few minutes?
38981May I see your revolver?
38981May I send a card to her?
38981Miss Meredith,he said soothingly after a pause,"will you admit or deny that you ever heard of the Randolph robbery?"
38981Miss Meredith?
38981Miss Meredith?
38981Mr. Hatch called yet?
38981Mr. Hatch, what is that name I asked you to get?
38981Mr. Herbert confessed to you that he was with you in the automobile, did n''t he?
38981Mr. Herbert here?
38981My bill, please?
38981No, nor would you inform me of the nature of the evidence against him in addition to the jewels and plate found in his possession?
38981Not very well?
38981Nothing but the gold plate was found?
38981Now Cunningham?
38981Now, Mr. Cunningham, may I ask if the Burglar''s back was toward you when you fired?
38981Now, Mr. Hatch,asked The Thinking Machine,"just what is known of this second theft of the gold plate?"
38981Now, Mr. Mallory,continued The Thinking Machine at last,"one of your men shot twice at the Burglar in the automobile, as I understand it?"
38981Now, Mr. Mallory,the scientist went on calmly,"do you happen to know Dr. Clarence Walpole?"
38981Now, Mr. Randolph, how many invitations were issued for the ball?
38981Now, look here, Dick,expostulated Hatch,"do n''t you want to make some statement of your connection with this affair?
38981Now, madam?
38981Now, why did Mr. Herbert confess to Miss Meredith that he stole the plate?
38981Of course, then, you''ve seen the stories about the Randolph robbery?
38981Oh, if they are watching us what shall we do?
38981Oh, is n''t that delightful?
38981Oh, would n''t that please Mallory?
38981Oh, you_ did_ do it then?
38981Only eleven pieces of the plate were first stolen, you said?
38981Paregoric?
38981Personal matter?
38981Prove it? 38981 Proven innocent?"
38981Sewing- machines?
38981She is not at home?
38981Some time ago she met a man named Herbert-- Richard Herbert, I think, and----"Dick Herbert?
38981Something in a bag?
38981Suppose I should confess that I did?
38981Suppose it had been just a freak of mine, and I had intended to-- to return the stuff, as has been done?
38981Suppose now, just suppose, that we three get together and tell each other the truth for a change, the whole truth, and see what will happen?
38981Suppose,he whispered,"suppose I should confess that I did take it?"
38981The bag is all right, I suppose?
38981The bag with the stuff-- the one I threw in the car when we started?
38981The bag?
38981The casket?
38981They''re chasing us, are n''t they?
38981This is n''t any silly joke?
38981This is the revolver you used?
38981Thought what?
38981Thursday night, perhaps?
38981Was Harry Meredith masked when he entered this room last Thursday night?
38981Was Miss Meredith the girl in the automobile?
38981Was he a particular friend of yours in college?
38981Was he masked?
38981Was it a man or a woman talking?
38981Was it a pistol shot?
38981We will have to go in a few minutes, wo n''t we?
38981Well, Downey?
38981Well, what about it all, anyhow?
38981Well, what did you find out?
38981Well, what of it?
38981Well?
38981Well?
38981Well?
38981Well?
38981Well?
38981Well?
38981What about her?
38981What am I doing with it?
38981What are the questions?
38981What are you doing with it?
38981What business of yours is it, anyway?
38981What could have caused you to do such a thing?
38981What did she wear?
38981What did you do with the list of invited guests?
38981What do you know of any woman?
38981What does he look like?
38981What gold plate?
38981What is it all about?
38981What is it, please?
38981What is it?
38981What is the nature of the injury?
38981What kind of stuff?
38981What luck did_ you_ have?
38981What luck did_ you_ have?
38981What next?
38981What sort of a confession?
38981What was her appearance?
38981What you got in the bag?
38981What''s in it?
38981What''s the matter?
38981What''s the matter?
38981What''s this about the bail- bond?
38981What?
38981What?
38981What_ do_ you sell?
38981When did she return?
38981When was it, please?
38981Where are those cards, Curtis?
38981Where are you?
38981Where did you get that idea?
38981Where has she been?
38981Where is it?
38981Where is she?
38981Where is the car?
38981Where is the drug store?
38981Where is your son now? 38981 Where is your son?"
38981Where was the wound, please?
38981Where was the wound?
38981Where were you on the evening of the masked ball?
38981Who are you, Mr. Van Dusen?
38981Who fired them, please?
38981Who is it, Blair?
38981Who the deuce is Van Dusen?
38981Who then,he demanded after a couple of gulps--"who do you say is the thief if Herbert is not?"
38981Whose brother? 38981 Why did n''t you mention the jewelry at first?
38981Why did you disappear?
38981Why did you see him?
38981Why do n''t you say something?
38981Why you did_ not_ meet me?
38981Why you did_ not_ meet me?
38981Why you did_ not_ meet me?
38981Why, Dick, what is that?
38981Why-- yes, but I-- I----"And could n''t you ever love me again?
38981Why?
38981Will you admit that you saw him?
38981Will you deny that you saw Richard Herbert on the evening of the masked ball?
38981Will you give me your permission to see her here and now, if she will consent?
38981Will you inform me, then, in the interest of justice, where you were on the evening of the Randolph ball?
38981Will you name the cause of the trouble you and Meredith had in Harvard?
38981Would it be possible, Miss Meredith,the even voice went on,"to convince_ you_ of Mr. Herbert''s innocence?"
38981Would you be satisfied?
38981Would you believe him under oath?
38981Would you mind telling me if any of the jewelry you found in Mr. Herbert''s possession has been identified?
38981Would you mind telling me just what makes you think I got it?
38981Would you remember it if you saw it or heard it again?
38981You are certain there was only_ one_ man at that ball dressed as a Burglar?
38981You are making no mistake?
38981You did n''t see her there?
38981You do n''t know if the package was there when you went in?
38981You have the bullet?
38981You know she did n''t take the plate?
38981You know that a man and a woman are accused of and sought for the theft?
38981You know, too, that Richard Herbert went to that ball in Burglar''s garb and that you went there dressed as a Western girl?
38981You mean you-- you-- you_ stole_ it?
38981You probably knew that he was wounded and possibly either aided in dressing the wound-- as any woman would-- or else saw him dress it himself?
38981You recognised him, then, by something he said or wore?
38981You still do n''t believe him guilty?
38981You were speaking of Miss Dorothy Meredith, were n''t you?
38981You will admit that you know the man was in Burglar''s garb, and that the woman was dressed in a Western costume?
38981You will not believe what I tell you?
38981You would n''t have gone with any other man?
38981You_ know_ he was with you?
38981You_ know_ it?
38981You_ know_ that only two shots were fired?
38981Your casket of jewels was found among the stolen goods in his possession?
38981_ How_ do you know it?
38981410 State Street for a package?"
38981A brother?
38981A wound caused by a pistol- bullet?
38981After a while, from below, he heard the tinkle of a bell and Blair entered with light tread:"Beg pardon, sir, are you asleep?"
38981Am I right?"
38981By something he said or wore?
38981By the way, I suppose you know where I came from, eh?"
38981Can you direct me to a quiet hotel or boarding- house where I might stay?"
38981Could you tell me, please, where a lady, unattended, might get a night''s lodging somewhere near here?"
38981Cunningham?"
38981Detective Mallory doesn''t----""When and where was Mr. Herbert arrested?"
38981Did her father shoot him?
38981Did she shoot him?
38981Did you get it all right?"
38981Did you notice the card she gave you?"
38981Do you know that idea keeps coming to me and wo n''t go away?"
38981Finally she compromised by blushing radiantly at the memory of certain lingering kisses she had bestowed upon-- upon-- Dick Herbert?
38981Greyton?"
38981Had Doctor Walpole recently dressed a wound for Mr. Herbert?
38981Hatch?"
38981Have you met him?"
38981He asked the first question with trepidation:"Mr. Randolph, can you give me the address of Miss Dorothy Meredith?"
38981He was hurt and----""Who is it, Blair?"
38981Herbert?"
38981How are you, anyhow?"
38981How did Mr. Herbert know this brother?
38981How do you feel?"
38981How had he recognised him as Harry Meredith?
38981How long has she been gone?...
38981Huh?...
38981If I do n''t see her---- By the way, did her father arrive from Baltimore?"
38981If at home, would he not go to the nearest physician?
38981Is that to stand forever?"
38981Is there no way I can place myself right in your eyes?"
38981Is_ he_ in?"
38981It was a costume affair, I suppose?"
38981Merritt?...
38981Missing?...
38981Now that''s a silly state of affairs, is n''t it?"
38981Now what does that mean?"
38981Now, Miss Meredith, will you tell me, please, just where you have been?"
38981Now, is n''t it a fact that you did intend to elope with her on Thursday evening?"
38981Now, may I ask you what you intend to publish about this affair?"
38981Now, the question is: What possible connection can there be between Dorothy Meredith and the Burglar?
38981Now, what shall I say if they ask questions?
38981Now, what_ did_ happen to Mr. Herbert?
38981Now, will you or will you not return the plate?"
38981Of course it will be all right?"
38981Randolph live here?''
38981Randolph?"
38981Red, you mean?...
38981Taking it this way at this time of the night?"
38981That''s what they do, is n''t it?"
38981The ball was thirty- two calibre?"
38981Then the question: Was the man who stole from Mr. Herbert, probably entering his place and shooting him, masked?
38981Then, in a deadly, forced calm:"She attended the masked ball Thursday evening, did n''t she?"
38981Then-- what?"
38981Then:"Who is this talking?"
38981Thursday evening?...
38981Was Dick Herbert the Burglar?
38981Was it in his college days?
38981Well and good, but is that all?
38981Well, what the deuce is it then?...
38981What am I?
38981What brother?"
38981What could have delayed him?"
38981What does she look like?...
38981What in the world was the matter with you, anyway?"
38981What is the nearest village or town?"
38981What''s her name?...
38981What''s his name?"
38981What''s in it?"
38981What?...
38981Who is he?
38981Who was he?
38981Who_ is_ this?"
38981Why would n''t he say something?
38981Why?
38981Why?
38981Why?
38981Why?"
38981Why?"
38981Why?"
38981Why?"
38981Yes?
38981Yes?...
38981Yet, what happened to him?
38981You know, of course, about the finding of the two automobiles that figured in the case, and the blood- stained cushion?"
38981[ Illustration:"An envious mask hid cheeks and brow"]"How did you know me?"
38981_ SPELL IT!_... M- e- r- e- d- i- t- h. Why did n''t you say that at first?...
38981the reporter asked--"that is, during the last couple of days?"
38577A Frenchwoman?
38577A New Yorker?
38577A black beard?
38577A joke?
38577A louis? 38577 Absinthe?"
38577After you left the café, what did you do?
38577Alone?
38577Always?
38577An American?
38577An excellent idea, Vernet; but how, may I ask, will you know the car, when it passes you? 38577 And for what reason should I stay?"
38577And from the nearest bushes, or woods?
38577And he does n''t know that you are in Paris?
38577And if not-- if the child is not with them?
38577And if not?
38577And otherwise?
38577And she brought you that message?
38577And that purpose was?
38577And the other?
38577And then?
38577And was it repaired?
38577And why, later, were these cigarettes stolen from Valentin, as I understand they were?
38577And you always left about the same time-- half- past ten?
38577And you say the man who drove the car had a black beard-- the same man, in fact, who broke into Valentin''s room and stole the cigarettes?
38577And you, Monsieur? 38577 Another?"
38577Anything?
38577Are n''t you glad, Dick, that we''re_ alive_?
38577Are there any other details-- any other points of interest?
38577Are they not the sort, then, that you usually smoke?
38577Are they?
38577Are you a bandit, my friend?
38577Are you from Dublin?
38577Asleep?
38577Boys?
38577But a confederate in Monsieur Stapleton''s own house?
38577But how will they be able to do this, without running the risk of being caught?
38577But if he is still in the country, and they wait until after they are in Paris before notifying their confederates?
38577But suppose they have not yet notified their confederates to return the boy to me?
38577But suppose you ca n''t be there? 38577 But the police?"
38577But what about the attempt to poison her?
38577But what do we want with her?
38577But why should the boy''s mother wish to kidnap him?
38577But why, I wonder?
38577But, Monsieur, would you let this fellow escape? 38577 But,"exclaimed Mr. Stapleton,"how could Mary Lanahan swear that she turned away but a moment-- that no one came near her?"
38577But,said Grace, smiling mischievously at the prospect which opened before her,"suppose he should see me?"
38577But-- what shall I do?
38577But-- why not?
38577By what right, then, do you presume to read my letters?
38577Can you drive an automobile?
38577Can you drive me to Washington in your car?
38577Can you imagine any reason for his having done so?
38577Children, is it? 38577 Could you identify the man who stole the cigarettes?"
38577Did I not particularly request that the police take no steps in the matter?
38577Did he?
38577Did you get the men?
38577Did you not see who it was that drove the car?
38577Do you deny,asked the detective,"that on passing the Avenue Malakoff a few moments ago you flashed a blue light toward the Avenue Kleber?"
38577Do you intend, then, to give them the money?
38577Do you know where the child is?
38577Do you not remember the signal, used on the Versailles road, the blue light?
38577Do you remember noticing him, on this particular morning?
38577Do you want to earn twenty francs, my friend?
38577Do you?
38577Does Richard Duvall live here?
38577Does he smoke gold- tipped cigarettes?
38577Does it not seem rather singular, Mr. Stapleton, that a member of the Paris police should come to you with a message from the kidnappers?
38577Does not the note from Mary Lanahan request you to destroy them?
38577Driven by François?
38577During this hour what becomes of the car?
38577Five francs, Mademoiselle? 38577 From the woman who just left the house?"
38577Gone-- but how?
38577Good Lord, Chief, am I losing my senses? 38577 Got anything to drink about?
38577Had he ever done that before?
38577Had n''t you better go in and fix up a bit, Dick? 38577 Have you any idea what she was doing there?"
38577Have you any reason to believe, Mr. Stapleton,Duvall inquired,"that the kidnapping is the act of persons from this side of the water?
38577Have you found the kidnappers yet?
38577Have you made any progress, then, my friend?
38577Have you no idea?
38577Have you no one under suspicion?
38577Have you the letter now?
38577He is employed by him? 38577 His business?"
38577How about François?
38577How am I to know that these scoundrels will keep their word?
38577How can I do that?
38577How can Mr. Stapleton know that you will do as you say?
38577How can you prevent it, Monsieur? 38577 How did the thing happen?"
38577How did things go?
38577How do you estimate the time so closely?
38577How do you know that Mr. Duvall is acting for me?
38577How do you know that?
38577How far from the road?
38577How goes everything, my friend?
38577How long had you been going to the Bois in this way?
38577How long has this man François been in your employ?
38577How long was your head turned from him-- while you were-- dreaming?
38577How long would it take you, my man, driving fast, to reach this house from the spot in the Bois where Master Jack was lost?
38577How so?
38577How? 38577 How?
38577How?
38577How?
38577How?
38577If I can work out a plan for their capture, which will not involve the loss of the boy, you are willing, I take it, to let me go ahead?
38577Is Mary Lanahan in the house?
38577Is it possible,_ mon ami_? 38577 Is it possible?"
38577Is n''t it?
38577Is that its effect?
38577Is that why you stole the cigarettes?
38577Is the boy here?
38577Is the nurse a young woman?
38577Is this Richard Duvall?
38577Is this the woman?
38577Is this then a joke?
38577John Stapleton, the banker?
38577Madame Duvall?
38577Mary? 38577 May I ask where I can find him?"
38577May I see it?
38577Mike''s? 38577 Miss Lanahan-- is she better?"
38577Money, is it?
38577Monsieur Valentin, will you please tell me what those cigarettes have to do with the kidnapping of Mr. Stapleton''s child?
38577My watch-- my money?
38577Nevertheless, if anything goes wrong, and I do not get the red signal, what shall we do then?
38577Not more?
38577Now, Mr. Duvall, what is your plan to capture these fellows?
38577Of Grace?
38577Oh-- what-- where am I?
38577On what do you base your conclusions, Mr. Duvall? 38577 Questions, is it?
38577Rather neat, is n''t it?
38577She''s not married, I suppose?
38577Since when, my friend,he asked,"have I been in the habit of deserting my comrades?
38577So you are confident?
38577Still, you would advise trying to locate the house, as he suggests?
38577Such as what?
38577The car into which you threw the package of money contained, besides the chauffeur, but one occupant, a woman, did it not?
38577The fellow I discharged last year, for dishonesty? 38577 The question is this, Monsieur Lefevre: Which deserves the greater credit for the recovery of my boy-- Mr. Duvall, or his charming wife?"
38577The-- the child is safe?
38577Then he does not know that you are in Paris?
38577Then his actions have not been suspicious, during the past week?
38577Then how will he let Monsieur Stapleton know?
38577Then may I ask that you will be good enough to explain it at once?
38577Then what do you advise?
38577Then what does this note mean?
38577Then you could not say whether anyone else was near the nurse and the boy, at the time he was kidnapped?
38577Then you do n''t intend to give him up?
38577Then you do n''t know where the house is, from which I was brought?
38577Then you do not know where the child is?
38577They did not follow him?
38577They? 38577 This is for you, Monsieur?"
38577Too ill?
38577Toward Versailles?
38577Was Alphonse Valentin with you at any time, in the Bois, that day?
38577Was he like this?
38577Was it Alphonse Valentin?
38577Was it always the same place?
38577Was the matter of the child mentioned in any of them? 38577 Well, what of it?"
38577What about the rubber ball?
38577What am I to do?
38577What are these, may I ask?
38577What are they, Exquisites?
38577What are you doing?
38577What are you talking about, Monsieur?
38577What are you up to?
38577What can I do for you, Monsieur Duvall?
38577What can I do for you, Monsieur?
38577What can I do for you, sir?
38577What case, Monsieur?
38577What did you do then?
38577What do you make of it?
38577What do you mean, Duvall?
38577What do you propose to do?
38577What do you propose to do?
38577What do you think of the woman''s story?
38577What do you think, dear?
38577What do you wish me to do?
38577What do you wish with me, gentlemen?
38577What do you?
38577What does he do?
38577What does that note mean, then?
38577What does this mean?
38577What does this mean?
38577What is he going to do?
38577What is it, Richard?
38577What is it, my child?
38577What is it, my friend?
38577What is it-- what is wrong?
38577What is it?
38577What is it?
38577What is it?
38577What is she doing here?
38577What is the matter with her?
38577What is the news she has brought you?
38577What steps do you propose to take?
38577What time was it when this woman,the detective indicated the nurse,"called to you, on discovering that the child was gone?"
38577What time was it when you got back to the house?
38577What was he doing?
38577What was his name?
38577What was it?
38577What were they doing there?
38577What were you doing in that automobile?
38577What were you doing?
38577What would lawyers in Washington be wantin''with me?
38577What would you do?
38577What''s become of that woman Lefevre had snooping around? 38577 What, may I ask, brings you to Paris, at the cost of interrupting your honeymoon?
38577What?
38577What?
38577When did it happen?
38577When did you receive it?
38577When is that?
38577When? 38577 Where are you?"
38577Where did you meet this fellow, Valentin?
38577Where have you been?
38577Where is François, your chauffeur?
38577Where is he now?
38577Where is he now?
38577Where is your husband?
38577Who accompanied you besides the child?
38577Who are you, monsieur?
38577Who are you?
38577Who are you?
38577Who does not, Monsieur?
38577Who is it?
38577Who is it?
38577Who is she?
38577Who is this woman?
38577Who knows? 38577 Who knows?
38577Who may you be, then? 38577 Who was the man?"
38577Who?
38577Why did you first suspect him?
38577Why did you then run away?
38577Why do you ask?
38577Why do you say that?
38577Why do you think it was François?
38577Why do you think that?
38577Why do you think your wife is here?
38577Why have you come here twice during the past two days?
38577Why not? 38577 Why not?
38577Why not?
38577Why the devil should I be flashing blue lights at the Avenue Kleber? 38577 Why?"
38577Why?
38577Will you be so good, Madame, as to take me to Paris?
38577Will you kindly find out for sure? 38577 Wonder if I can persuade him to go?"
38577Would you like to make a louis?
38577You are certain that he entered the Stapleton''s house?
38577You are going to buy these rascals off, then?
38577You are-- what you Americans call-- up a tree, is it not?
38577You could see François, in the machine, from where you were?
38577You had met him there frequently before?
38577You have done nothing, I hope, to again prevent me from recovering my son?
38577You have found him honest, reliable?
38577You have heard?
38577You have no idea where this place is located?
38577You know the contents of this message?
38577You mean that she knows nothing of how the boy was spirited away?
38577You mean, then, that you have solved it?
38577You say you saw my boy? 38577 You think it will work, then?"
38577You think, then, that she had a hand in the matter-- she and this fellow Valentin?
38577You trust him?
38577You wanted my husband for the same case?
38577You will take him into your confidence, then?
38577You''ll go, Mr. Duvall? 38577 About what?
38577And did you arrest her?"
38577And did you succeed in identifying it?"
38577And if I get the red signal?"
38577And these signals?"
38577And what after that?"
38577And what house is that?"
38577And where had she been?"
38577And who are you, to ask me any such nonsensical questions?"
38577And why should the note, handed to him by the street urchin, have caused him such evident alarm?
38577And yet-- what had the wicker basket contained?
38577And you generally played about in the same place?"
38577And you will be very careful-- and-- and come back soon-- won''t you?"
38577And you?"
38577Are you certain of that?"
38577But how-- how?
38577But the question now arises, Why did she turn the box over to Valentin, and subsequently ask him to destroy it?"
38577But what then?"
38577But why, I wonder, does he keep it here in his room, instead of in the garage?"
38577But you know the spot, on the roadside?"
38577By the way, where is your man, François, tonight?"
38577Can this mean that François is in the plot, and they fear he may be weakening-- preparing to turn against them?"
38577Can you spare Vernet for the day?
38577Can you, Monsieur?"
38577Could it be Richard, she wondered, returning for something he had forgotten?
38577Did he not then come with you?"
38577Did she attempt to explain how she came by the message?"
38577Did you come far-- when they brought you to the automobile?"
38577Did you get her?"
38577Did you see anything of them?
38577Did your scheme to identify the car fail to work?"
38577Do n''t you see why your coming was of the utmost importance to me?
38577Do n''t you see, it is absolutely necessary, for the recovery of Mr. Stapleton''s child, that the signals go through uninterrupted?"
38577Do n''t you see?
38577Do n''t you think so, dear?
38577Do n''t you?"
38577Do you happen to remember his name?"
38577Do you suppose I would take any chances, for the matter of a hundred thousand dollars-- or twice as much, for that matter?
38577Do you understand?"
38577Do you wonder that I call it preposterous?"
38577Does you want to see him?"
38577Duvall?"
38577Duvall?"
38577Duvall?"
38577Duvall?"
38577For what purpose?
38577Had he struggled, cried, he would have dropped the ball, would he not?"
38577Had his disguise been penetrated?
38577Have any such attempts been made in the past?"
38577Have you any children?
38577Have you not observed it?"
38577Have you seen anything of Mademoiselle Goncourt?"
38577He did not expect to find Grace there, and yet-- what else could the message mean?
38577He wants you to take another--""Another?"
38577He was safe?"
38577How could she ever reach the ground, with the child as well, even if she had possessed a rope?
38577How could the child have been stolen, if her story is true?
38577How did you know?"
38577How do you know that what you say is true?"
38577How do you know?"
38577I sat idly, looking at the sky, the road-- dreaming--""About what?"
38577I wonder if it will be successful?"
38577I wonder who it can be?"
38577If Valentin and the man with the black beard are working together, why should the latter have broken into his room to get the cigarettes?"
38577In Heaven''s name, why not?"
38577Is it not natural to suppose that he will leave the city at once?"
38577Is it the tax man?"
38577Is n''t there anything, Mr. Duvall, that you can do?"
38577Is she here?"
38577Is the woman a criminal, or is she a detective?
38577Leave Paris so quickly?
38577May I ask whether you are, by any chance, familiar with the properties of an Eastern drug, made from hemp, and generally known as hashish?"
38577May I ask you to wait in my study, upstairs?
38577May I see him?"
38577May I see the money?"
38577My God-- don''t you see?
38577Now the question is, What shall we do?
38577Or do my eyes deceive me?"
38577Our conversation has been overheard, then, Monsieur Stapleton?"
38577See those burns on the varnish?"
38577Seen anything of her, since last night?"
38577Shall you be at liberty?"
38577She can not be both, and if she is the latter why was she in that car, with my money in her hand?"
38577She must do something, she knew, to prevent this; but what-- what?
38577She wondered what the basket could contain, that made the man so careful, and the thought came to her, might it not be Mr. Stapleton''s boy?
38577Stapleton?"
38577Stapleton?"
38577Stapleton?"
38577Suppose I come here at ten o''clock, and let you know what I have learned?"
38577Suppose the bottle should be in the closet?
38577Suppose you were in this fellow''s place-- how would you do it?"
38577The person at the other end, the one who sent this ominous word,"help,"must be one of the kidnappers; yet why should he signal for assistance?
38577The question is-- how is it possible?"
38577The thought suddenly came to her-- why not go to him?
38577They would not get the boy, would they?
38577Was this woman, then, hoodwinking even the police?
38577Were they of such great value?"
38577Were threats made involving him?"
38577What can I do for you?"
38577What can I do for you?"
38577What did he say?"
38577What do you infer from it?"
38577What do you make of it?"
38577What do you mean, Mademoiselle?"
38577What do you propose to do next?"
38577What else?
38577What hour would you suggest?"
38577What is it you would know?"
38577What is the mystery of the gold- tipped cigarettes?"
38577What is the purpose of his tale?"
38577What is this affair, anyway, a joke?"
38577What make is it, Monsieur, if I may ask?"
38577What next?"
38577What next?"
38577What nonsense is this about a red light?"
38577What of it?"
38577What on earth, she wondered, could it mean?
38577What reparation can I make?
38577What should she do, to keep the man in the reception room from leaving before the police should arrive?
38577What should she do-- what, indeed, could she do?
38577What''s the matter with you?"
38577What, after all, could she hope to do, where the entire police force of Paris had failed?
38577What, for instance, was the mystery, if indeed there was any, connected with the box of gold- tipped cigarettes?"
38577Where are you stopping?"
38577Where will you be?"
38577Where?"
38577Which was it, the police, or the kidnappers?
38577Who are you?"
38577Who are you?"
38577Who could this be?
38577Who else?
38577Who would not?
38577Who, may I ask, really smoked the cigarette, the remains of which you found in the grass?"
38577Who?"
38577Why do you ask me that?"
38577Why do you ask?"
38577Why not carry the wall right along the whole front of the property?
38577Why not?
38577Why take chances, and run the risk of his confederates, at least, being arrested, when there are simpler, easier ways?"
38577Why?"
38577Why?"
38577Why?"
38577Why?"
38577Why?"
38577Would they attack her, if they found her there?
38577Would you leave her here, to give our description to the police?
38577Yet why did he not inquire for her at the house, in the ordinary way?
38577You are having him watched, you say?"
38577You did n''t telephone Monsieur Stapleton this address, did you?"
38577You know him, do n''t you?"
38577You know my name?"
38577You see that?"
38577You understand, then, what you are to do?"
38577You will leave here tomorrow evening, at eight o''clock?"
38577You would n''t want to go back to it-- would you?"
38577why do n''t they hurry?"
45680Ai n''t it great, though, to know they do''preciate_ somethin''_ we''ve kerried aout? 45680 Air we meanin''to handle this layout all by aour lonesome?"

45680Get that now, Wally?"
45680Get that, do n''t you, Wally?"
45680Get the airport yet-- Wally?"
45680Glad you arrived safely; was that your ship I chanced to notice hovering over the airport about eleven?"
45680Got those chilled- shot shells I want to tryout, did you, Wally?"
45680Gwine up right naow, suh?"
45680Haow kin yeou do it, suh, I''d shore like to know?"
45680Heading for that foreign steamship, is n''t that cloud chaser?"
45680Herriott?"
45680How does the ground look to you, buddy?"
45680I presume, sir, the new amphibian is here, and waiting for me?"
45680I''m jest awonderin''whether us Southern kids ever_ did_ have a gen- u- ine ole swimmin''-hole in them_ won_-derful days, eh, what?"
45680Jest hear''em whoopin''it up, will yeou, suh?"
45680Perk at one time burst forth,"did yeou ever in all yeour life listen to sech queer sounds as them?
45680Soak that in, both of you boys?"
45680There came a slight exclamation, then--"Who is it speaking, please?"
45680What else is there''baout the boat we''ll''preciate, boss?"
45680You get the point, do n''t you, Wally, boy?"
45680You say there were several speed boats and launches fast to the sides of the big freighters, when you glimpsed them?
45680ai nt it jest the limit, apullin''the wool over the eyes o''one o''the darnedest sharpest newspaper boys as ever was?"
45680naow ai n''t that fine?"
45680somethin''mebbe naow Mr. H been atellin''you- all, eh, suh?"
45680the other was remarking;"then after all the party at the soda counter was n''t quite a stranger to you seeing he evidently had learned your name?"
45680was_ he_ hangin''''raound after all?"
45680weuns ought to know what kinder stuff, eh, partner?"
45680what is it, boss?"
45680you do n''t say, brother?"
41790All right, but what is his business?
41790And does Hallen know, does he mistrust that O''Brien is a detective?
41790And how about the closet in the steps, from which you took the robe?
41790And now,continued Oakes,"what did it do?
41790And what did you learn from the dying man? 41790 And what do you make of that man O''Brien?"
41790Are you expecting trouble?
41790Are you satisfied, Doctor, that there is a physical agent at work here?
41790Are you well acquainted with him? 41790 Because you found him, do you think you have accomplished a wonderful piece of work?
41790But how can it be? 41790 But how did you learn of it?"
41790But one thing more, Oakes,I cried,"why should Maloney volunteer the information that he was at the place if he had no good excuse for being there?"
41790But the revolver to- day was not the old one?
41790But to what do I owe the honor of a request to call at the Mansion, escorted by such a nice young man, to see Mr. Clark, the agent?
41790But why does n''t he suspect? 41790 But wo n''t Maloney get away now?"
41790But,I cried,"of what value is that?"
41790But,I exclaimed,"suppose it was Maloney, what of O''Brien?
41790Can he be the murderer?
41790Cook, what do you think of the murder of Winthrop Mark?
41790Could a rifle have done it?
41790Did Martin follow you?
41790Did he say anything about her appearance?
41790Did you ever go through the tunnel to the well?
41790Did you find out where Mike went on his horseback trip?
41790Did you have any experience, sir?
41790Did you notice anything peculiar about the people at the Mansion-- the care- takers?
41790Did you recognize him? 41790 Did you see that wall being built yourself, Cook?"
41790Did you see the other fellow?
41790Did you shoot for help?
41790Do you not think Skinner might be the murderer?
41790Do you recognize this shirt pattern?
41790Do you remember the cartridge I found in the cellar?
41790Do you think he is the murderer?
41790Doctor, loan me your cigar- cutter, will you?
41790Dr. Moore, you have seen many wounds from firearms, have you not? 41790 Early in the day, then?"
41790Found whom?
41790Great goodness, Oakes, what is wrong?
41790Have you any theories regarding the identity of the woman?
41790Have you run up against him anywhere?
41790He was wounded, you said?
41790Hello, what ails your head?
41790Here is wood ash-- wet, as was that on the robe; and here is paper like that of the''Daily News,''which we found in the robe; is it not?
41790How about the place in the stairs where the robe was found?
41790How are you to prove his innocence, Mr. Oakes, as you said?
41790How did it happen?
41790How did you know when I was shot?
41790How do you know that?
41790How do you know?
41790How in the world do you know that, Oakes?
41790How is that?
41790How long did you remain at the Mansion after the assault?
41790How long have you been here?
41790How? 41790 How?
41790Hurt anywhere else, old fellow?
41790Hurts the town, does n''t it?
41790I suppose Mike worked all day?
41790I will answer the question by asking: Who was the man who warned you?
41790If Maloney was at the hut, how did he get back ahead of us?
41790Is Oakes dead? 41790 It is indeed-- can it be?"
41790Mr. Clark, what did Mr. Mark say to you then, just before he died?
41790Mr. Oakes,said Chief Hallen then,"do n''t you think it advisable to investigate that story of the bandana handkerchief as soon as possible?
41790Now, Joe, what did the murderer drop when he jumped over the stream from the rock?
41790Oh, is that all?
41790Oh, you noticed that? 41790 Quintus Oakes?"
41790Rather expensive work, is it not?
41790Say, how far to the hotel and which way?
41790Stone, what''s the matter? 41790 Stone,"said he,"are you good for a ride with me on horseback?
41790The which?
41790Then the gardener knew of it?
41790Then why did he not care to give up his interest to his brother?
41790This man Winthrop Mark seems to have been very well known?
41790True enough,cried Hallen, his face showing his admiration;"but what''s your idea, then, Oakes?"
41790Want a gun?
41790Was he here before the mysteries?
41790Well, Maloney, what is it?
41790Well, but who spoke to me? 41790 Well, did not I tell you he ought to be there?"
41790Well, how is it, Oakes? 41790 Well, what do you think?"
41790Well, what is it?
41790Well, what was peculiar?
41790Well, what''s ailing you now?
41790Well, what?
41790Well, why was the negro so scared?
41790What became of him?
41790What can he be up to?
41790What did you pick up in the cellar when you stooped for the match?
41790What did you see?
41790What do you know of those repairs?
41790What do you mean? 41790 What do you mean?"
41790What do you think of O''Brien, Oakes?
41790What do you think of the nature of the weapon used?
41790What door?
41790What for?
41790What for?
41790What happened?
41790What has occurred?
41790What have you been doing?
41790What is Martin doing up here?
41790What is curious?
41790What is it? 41790 What is it?
41790What is it?
41790What is it?
41790What is who?
41790What made you first mistrust?
41790What proofs have you?
41790What seems the probable weapon to you?
41790What shall we do?
41790What sort of a shadow?
41790What was that-- a shot?
41790What, in heaven''s name, has got into you?
41790What?
41790When did the first trouble begin?
41790When did you hear the shot?
41790Where are you going?
41790Where are you going?
41790Where do you suppose the outfit came from?
41790Where does this lead, Mike?
41790Where have you been?
41790Where is Maloney?
41790Where is Mike now?
41790Where was Maloney yesterday, Cook?
41790Where were you when you heard the shots, Mike?
41790Which way?
41790Who dares insinuate-- who dares say I am a detective, sir?
41790Who is that Mr. Clark, anyway? 41790 Who is this man Clark?
41790Who shot him?
41790Who was he?
41790Who was he?
41790Who was it?
41790Who was with Skinner?
41790Who were those old men?
41790Who? 41790 Who?"
41790Who?
41790Why all this?
41790Why did you not cry out for help?
41790Why did you tell me to run?
41790Why do they watch you, Mr. Oakes? 41790 Why not?
41790Why should you? 41790 Why, what makes you think so?"
41790Why? 41790 Yes, but why-- how?"
41790Yes, but_ he_ did not do it; how could he have run there so quickly?
41790Yes, we''re improving-- but why did you lie down behind that tree? 41790 Yes,"said Moore, turning to me;"they often seek the court under such circumstances, do n''t they?"
41790You heard shooting on the Mark grounds? 41790 You seem to know them, Moore?"
41790You''re the darndest ass I ever saw,said he as he got off;"why did n''t you tell who you were?"
41790A man?"
41790Afraid?"
41790Ai n''t he a beaut?"
41790Ai n''t he a wonder in looks?"
41790Along what lines?
41790And where was it written?"
41790Are they suspicious that we are going to Mona?"
41790As we neared the town we slowed up, and I asked excitedly of the taciturn man by my side:"Tell me, what''s up?"
41790But how did you know so much of my movements-- how, why, did you have to hustle?"
41790But things are being done very quietly, are they not?
41790But what was it?
41790But why did you warn me?
41790But why?"
41790Can I be mistaken, Mr. Stone?
41790Can you explain it?"
41790Can you walk that far?"
41790Cook, why was no investigation ever made before?"
41790Could it be that Quintus Oakes was the victim of a mental process?
41790Could it be the same assassin?
41790Could the same weapon have been used?"
41790Did anyone know of such a scar?
41790Did it float away?"
41790Did the negro run?
41790Did you chase Maloney for revenge, or for revenge and business?"
41790Did you hear it?"
41790Did you kill anyone?"
41790Did you not suspect it?"
41790Did you see it?"
41790Did you see where it fell?
41790Do n''t you remember the fellow who saved those boys from drowning in the harbor that day?"
41790Do you remember hearing of that?"
41790Do you see any one with them?
41790Do you see why Maloney has blue eyes and a square chin-- with hair black as the Indian''s and skin swarthy as night?
41790Do you think, if the panel had been tampered with at the time the repairs were made, that the débris would have been left behind?
41790Does he fill the bill?"
41790Dr. Moore turned to me and said:"Well, do you feel like joining us?"
41790For who, of that household, could have written such a letter?
41790Gentlemen, do you understand?
41790Had he dwelt with them all the while since?
41790Has it never occurred to you that there may be several desperate characters in this affair and the murder?
41790Have you been dining at the Club?"
41790Have you noticed how Maloney is watching O''Brien?
41790He did not notice it drop, did he, Joe?"
41790He was dealing money this morning to someone; suppose it was to Maloney-- what is his reason?"
41790He was handsome, you say?"
41790How can you suspect such a man?
41790How did he know who I was?
41790How do you explain it, Oakes?"
41790I cried,"you know that too?
41790I divined the value of the find; but why should I have mentioned it?
41790I think Mr. Quintus Oakes here is entitled to all the credit so far-- eh-- don''t you?"
41790I turned to Moore and half- gasped:"What does this mean, old man?"
41790I was getting entirely tied up now, but, desiring to appear erudite and worthy of such company, I blurted forth:"Who is Mike O''Brien, anyway?"
41790Is Maloney a good shot with a revolver?"
41790Is he not?"
41790Is it the murderer at work again-- and O''Brien accused?
41790Is that Quintus Oakes?
41790Is_ he_ the man who solved that affair?
41790Joe remained in good spirits, for had not Mr. Elliott befriended him?
41790Let us see the revolver; the men left it here, did they not?"
41790Look in the direction of Mona-- away off on the plateau-- is not that a horse?"
41790Mark?"
41790Might it be_ anyone_?
41790Moore noticed it too, and looked at me, as much as to say:"How was that, for measuring distance?"
41790No, but who knew of his neighbor''s arms?
41790Oakes looked at him and smiled, then said:"Moore, where is your reasoning ability?
41790Oakes looked at him:"Say, my man, how long have you been a porter?
41790Oakes now continued:"He did not say more, so I again asked quickly,''Who did it?
41790Oakes resumed:"I then asked him,''Who did this deed?''
41790Oakes turned to me:"Why, Stone, do n''t you see the flaws?
41790Oakes was in a partially unconscious condition, to be sure; but what evidence of violence was that?
41790Oakes with marvelous tranquillity apologized for the"accident,"and said:"Why should Maloney have shot you?
41790Oakes?"
41790Somehow things were wrong, but where?
41790Tell us-- why should Maloney hate you?"
41790The Chief looked long and half sceptically at Oakes, then asked:"Does Maloney meet your requirements?
41790The next instant we recognized Oakes''s voice:"Where are you, anyway?"
41790Then he suddenly asked me:"How about that negro?
41790Then we heard the question:"Have you seen two tall gentlemen in black coats and soft hats hereabouts, Dutchy?"
41790Then you are in this too?"
41790Then, again, if able to get away himself, would he hide the revolver near the scene of the crime, behind a rock?
41790There was a moment''s silence, then Hallen turned to Dr. Moore:"Are you positive,"he said,"that Maloney is insane?
41790Was it possible that I was to meet Oakes through other channels?
41790Was it to protect your secret?"
41790Was that an unintentional shot, or was it a"feeler"?
41790We have had a pleasant evening together so far, have we not?"
41790What ails you, anyway?
41790What are you going to do?"
41790What could he, a colored boy, do alone?
41790What did he know?
41790What did it mean?
41790What do you mean?"
41790What do you mean?"
41790What else?"
41790What have_ you_ learned?"
41790What is he doing there at this time of night-- and in_ these particular_ woods?"
41790What is he up to?"
41790What is the use of gossiping?
41790What of that?
41790What reason have you?"
41790What should he do with Joe?
41790What show would he have to escape?
41790What were these mysteries?"
41790What''s his name?"
41790What''s the matter?"
41790What''s up-- what does it mean, Chief?"
41790What''s your name?"
41790Where does it come from?"
41790Where were the local authorities?
41790Who could blame him?
41790Who could vouch for his friend?
41790Who does not like to hear two sides of an argument, or to read cool words of wisdom from one whose career entitles him to respect?
41790Who had the cross-- who?
41790Who was the man with the great arms, and with the"blue cross"on one of them-- the left?
41790Who was the other?"
41790Who?"
41790Whom are you talking about, anyway?"
41790Why did he not shoot to kill instead of to wound simply?"
41790Why did they not accompany me?
41790Why did you not say so?
41790Why did you not tell us your opinion before?"
41790Why did you wish to go there, Maloney?"
41790Why had he been allowed to get away so easily?
41790Why had the court- house not been watched?
41790Why has he not made himself visible here?
41790Why were they so careful?
41790Why, in the devil''s name, did he try to capture him alive?
41790Will you help me?"
41790Wo n''t Oakes be disgusted?"
41790Wo n''t you please step into my sanctum?
41790Would a seriously injured man attempt deliberate murder?
41790You were in their employ at one time, I believe?"
41790You will murder Stone along with the others, will you?
41790You would suspect nothing out of the way-- far less a hunt for a murderer or the investigation of a mystery, would you?"
41790You''re not the first, then; have you been up to anything shady, Stone?"
41790and run away?"
41790asked our companion,"did he have many enemies?"
41790came the staccato answer;"but how about the strength of the wrist that can handle such a heavy rake with such certainty?"
41790said Hallen;"a banana?"
41790what is behind it all?
41790why do n''t you hurry?"
41078Admitted,I said testily;"but what''s that to do with us at this precise moment, when none of us know whether we are quite dead or alive?
41078After all, what is it, really, that makes them all so bitter against us? 41078 Ah, Mr Glynn,"he said as I advanced to meet him, handing him my card,"this is an extraordinary business, is n''t it?"
41078Ah, you''ve come, then?
41078Ah,said I, picking up my coat,"so it was you who was stalking me, was it?
41078All of them or some?
41078And did you find him?
41078And he does all this for England, and so do you?
41078And how about Miss Napier?
41078And may I take it that you are prepared, as far as lies in your power, to assist His Majesty''s Government in this direction?
41078And shall I be entitled to similar consideration?
41078And the documents you asked her to bring?
41078And the man found dead in the colonel''s bed?
41078And then?
41078And what are those terms?
41078And what is that?
41078And what,asked Jose,"has become of my father and brother?"
41078And what?
41078And when that morning you saw your brother,I went on, breaking away on a new tack,"why did you go after him?"
41078And you will stand the tests?
41078And, pray, how,queried Casteno, with obvious incredulity,"shall you communicate with them?
41078Answer me one question before I decide, and answer it to me with the most solemn truth: Do all the candidates join you in as deep ignorance as I?
41078Any answer?
41078Any other advice?
41078Are not your actions calculated to excite distrust? 41078 Are you mad, man?
41078Are you quite sure of that?
41078Are you quite sure of that?
41078Besides, professor,I cut in,"are not you really the one to take charge of operations at this juncture?
41078But after the sale where shall we meet? 41078 But am I to understand you decline my suggestion?
41078But are you any good at shadowing a man as artful and slippery and suspicious as Zouche?
41078But do you realise what you have done? 41078 But do you think your brother Paul will be discovered?"
41078But for what purpose?
41078But how about his studies?
41078But how can I hope to work successfully in the dark?
41078But how on earth shall I watch Zouche? 41078 But how shall I know how you get on?
41078But surely,I gasped,"you do n''t mean to show yourself in public until night is fallen?
41078But that''s scarcely the point just now, is it? 41078 But the town-- what is its name?"
41078But what on earth can he want with you?
41078But where can he be?
41078But why is the place so unlike a monastery?
41078But why,I queried,"is the value of its treasure always so firmly insisted on?"
41078But you call yourself Casteno?
41078But you will save me, wo n''t you?
41078Ca n''t you recollect?
41078Can you climb?
41078Did n''t I suggest Miss Napier had been inveigled into this business to help Lord Fotheringay out of his difficulties? 41078 Did n''t you see it on the milestones?"
41078Did you say you had other keepers with you?
41078Do n''t you see that this is the plot Don Jose Casteno warned you against? 41078 Do n''t you see we are arguing in a circle and that we have arrived again at the point why the Order exists?"
41078Do you mind showing me the authority under which you are acting?
41078Do you not deceive yourself rather than me? 41078 Do you see that fine mastiff in there?"
41078Do you think I am a born fool or idiot, or what? 41078 Do you want them, or are they to go into the archives of the Order of St Bruno as quaint but interesting curiosities?"
41078Does that, sir, mean you decline?
41078Excuse me, Prior,I said firmly,"but have we not met before?"
41078Fotheringay?
41078Good wishes? 41078 How about the king?"
41078How did you come to forgive us?
41078How-- what the dickens do you mean?
41078How? 41078 How?
41078Is it Cooper- Nassington?
41078Is not that your own fault?
41078Is that why you have that statue in the entrance hall?
41078Just meet me at the main entrance to the House in thirty minutes, will you? 41078 Just take this turn at the keyhole to oblige me, will you?
41078Look here, both of you, how will this do, to be sent to each one''s last known place of address?
41078Look, there is Miss Napier making signals to us with her handkerchief? 41078 Make a note of that offer, Fotheringay, will you?"
41078Man,she stormed, as soon as she saw what I had done, springing to her feet and grabbing me by the arm,"are you mad?"
41078Must-- must this curator be a Spaniard?
41078My God,he muttered, wiping the great beads of perspiration that had gathered about his temples,"is n''t this chase stern-- awful?
41078My good wishes, I repeat,I said with a good deal of firmness, for was I not about to play my last and most triumphant trump card?
41078No?
41078Nor is that all,he proceeded the next moment;"just cast a glance in this direction, will you?"
41078Now, gentlemen, what offers?
41078Now, my brother Hugh,he said, with a comprehensive theatrical gesture,"just take some observations for yourself, will you?
41078Or High Church?
41078Quite so,I returned lightly,"but just now we are not in a mood for conversation, are we?
41078Tell me,I said, passing a tremulous hand over my throbbing forehead,"what has happened?
41078That may be,I reasoned;"but, after all, are you not patriots first, and men with mere human passions like jealousy and revenge afterwards?"
41078That you will not reveal without our permission any of the things that we communicate to you in the course of this initiation?
41078Then to whom do they belong?
41078Then what would be the most discreet step to take?
41078Then why do you fight the hunchback, you a Spaniard,I queried,"when all the benefit will go to England if you succeed, not to Spain?"
41078Then why ever did n''t you bid for the manuscripts yourself?
41078Then you did n''t even see the flying machine fall?
41078Then you did n''t see anything of Colonel Napier''s clumber spaniel?
41078Then you mean actually to walk off to the railway station with all the Worcester police on the alert and to take the next express up to town?
41078Then you think the machine is perfectly safe?
41078Tricked, do you see? 41078 Was that his name?
41078Well, and how did you get on with Miss Velasquon?
41078Well, first, who was the man that put you on the track of my discovery, eh? 41078 Well, there is not much in that, is there?"
41078Well, we must take all those risks, must n''t we? 41078 Well, what is it?"
41078Well, what of that?
41078What about those?
41078What can it mean?
41078What do you mean?
41078What do you want, eh?
41078What does your mother want to wash?
41078What friend have I in the force?
41078What is he doing? 41078 What limit may I go to?"
41078What of that? 41078 What on earth can have happened?"
41078What on earth can he be up to?
41078What seek you, my son?
41078What the deuce are you doing here at this ungodly time of night? 41078 What the dickens do you mean?"
41078What town?
41078What was my business to him?
41078Where have you sprung from? 41078 Where?"
41078Who can that be?
41078Who knows? 41078 Who lives in this house?"
41078Who on earth can she have come to meet?
41078Why did you let them go without a protest?
41078Why do I tell you these things? 41078 Why do you refuse?
41078Why need we stand by and let other people like Fotheringay come in and benefit by our labours? 41078 Why on earth did n''t you tell me I was safe when we reached town?
41078Why puzzle with riddles a man that is but half aroused? 41078 Why should he?"
41078Why should two men ever strive after the same sweetheart?
41078Why, what was that?
41078Why, would you, Mr Glynn, have liked my brother to make an attempt on his uncle''s life?
41078Why,questioned I,"should they, or you for the matter of that, struggle for a few old parchment documents of an obscure Spanish priest?
41078Why,said I suddenly to my companion,"do you fear the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs getting wind of this discovery of yours?"
41078Why?
41078Why?
41078Why?
41078Why?
41078Women, I suppose?
41078Would you care to slip off?
41078Yes,said I eagerly;"and what must those be?"
41078You are quite determined?
41078You did n''t expect to see me about, did you? 41078 You fool,"he cried,"what are you up to now?"
41078You mean Bernard Delganni?
41078You see? 41078 You wo n''t object to that, will you?
41078After all, had I not taken my fee from Don Jose?
41078After all, those manuscripts are the real object of our expedition, are n''t they?
41078After all, why should the Spaniard kill Colonel Napier''s dog?
41078Again the problem stated itself: Who would triumph?
41078And I pretended to shiver as I added:"It seems to me, Naylor, there is always a cold streak in the air on Hampstead Heath; do n''t you think so?"
41078And where can I hide myself without any undue risk of being found out?"
41078And who else could have made that ugly gash in his side save Jose Casteno?
41078Another thing-- where can we hide ourselves?
41078Are they love letters?"
41078Are they what I have been led to expect?"
41078As a matter of fact, he is a friend of yours--""And pray who is that?"
41078Because it belongs to England?
41078Besides, are n''t we told there''s a tide in the affairs of men?
41078Besides, did not every move I made then take me just a little nearer to the solution of that mysterious appearance of Doris?
41078But as he hastened back I could not help two questions recurring to me with startling distinctness: What"fiends"were those we had got to face?
41078But what were those plans to be?
41078But why should she go at all?
41078By what right do you come here demanding to know what I have learned, and shall learn, with infinite patience, expense, and labour?"
41078By what right should we seize it?
41078By whom?
41078Call on them, and ask them?
41078Can she have mixed herself up in this manuscript hunt-- under pressure from Lord Cyril Cuthbertson or the Earl of Fotheringay, for instance?
41078Could I, therefore, trust him?
41078Did you happen to see a clumber spaniel heading in that direction?
41078Do either of you gentlemen understand anything about air- ships?"
41078Do n''t you see that there must, in a quest like this we are engaged upon, be a hundred details about which I can not give you my confidence?
41078Do n''t you see the molten gleam of water under the summer sun?"
41078Do you agree, Glynn?"
41078Do you mind, now that the train is stopping, inviting them to come into this carriage?"
41078Familiar names?
41078For what?
41078Got something good professionally on, eh?"
41078Had I not passed him the sacred pledge of my word?
41078Had he heard something that had put him on his guard as he sat crouched over the fire in my arm- chair?
41078Had he not paid me all that I asked?
41078Had he seen something or somebody that meant mischief to me?
41078Had we better grin and bear it, or ought we to try if we ca n''t find out for ourselves what is happening in this place?"
41078Have you had a serious accident here while I have been in this cell?"
41078Have you not made a bit of a mistake in that contention?
41078Have you prepared those dummies?"
41078Here it was: MURDER IN WHITEHALL COURT ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS CRIME But what was that?
41078How came the dog to die in a passage near Stanton Street?"
41078How could I do this with those burning words of the old hermit in his cell ringing even then in my ears?
41078How did you get on at the House of Commons with Cooper- Nassington?"
41078How shall I gain admission to his shop without his knowledge?
41078How would the vessel behave in a wild upward dash like ours?
41078How?
41078I cut in suddenly,"what of those?
41078I have actually seen the things I have pictured?"
41078I put it to you now quite pointedly whether it is to the welfare of England that this interview should not take place?
41078I see, now, that you have two assistants from Broadmoor, but why do n''t they wear Broadmoor uniforms?"
41078I wonder, now, how she came to have missed all news of her father''s death?
41078In answer to the usual question: Did we wish to communicate with any legal advisers or friends?
41078In that case, let him have the honour of buying the spurious deeds, do you see?
41078Indeed, I might as easily have been taken in as he was, for was there not at work that strange, compelling moral suasion of the handcuff?
41078Inwardly I was assailed with one question:"Where had I heard that voice before?"
41078Is it a success?"
41078Is it not race time, and is not the city full of strangers?
41078Is it real, or assumed?
41078Is it to frighten you?
41078Is that you?
41078Is there any advance?"
41078Is there anything else you would like to ask?"
41078It is n''t love for me that''s making you look so precious uneasy, now, is it?
41078It must be a friend of some sort, but then who would, or could, be a friend to so diabolical a creature as that is, even to look at?"
41078Just get this clear, will you?
41078Knowing this, I ask you, was it wise of you to want to link yourself with them?
41078Meanwhile, everybody is asking: Who is the man who has been found stabbed to death in Colonel Napier''s bed?
41078Now all we have got to do is to compare the two-- and then?"
41078Now how shall we manage it?"
41078Now the point is this: will you make a bold stand if I do?
41078Now was that bond good or evil?
41078Now you have got your lesson by heart, have n''t you?
41078Now, are you aware to what those deeds relate?"
41078Now, remembering the existence of Mr Cooper- Nassington, why should we go and put our necks in jeopardy, eh?"
41078Now, what are we to do, Glynn?
41078Now, what can that be?
41078Now, what did they contain?"
41078Now, what on earth can have happened to have made him give it up so suddenly and dress himself up as though he were going for a long journey?"
41078Now, what''s your game dogging my footsteps, eh?
41078Now, who is it to be?
41078On what charge, pray?"
41078Once again I demand of him: What has he deciphered from those three queer- looking manuscripts which he purchased this afternoon?"
41078Or had he suddenly resolved to take advantage of those early morning hours to avenge himself on some enemy who lived near at hand?
41078Picture an invasion of England by a large armed force-- where would they be?
41078Put a pair of handcuffs on him and take him up to Bow Street, will you?
41078Shall I take you with me or shall I send you back?"
41078Still, I think I have done very well to book up the only two seats they offered for sale to the public, do n''t you?
41078Still, that is something, is n''t it?
41078Suppose he were not the Professor Stephen Leopardi that Doris had pretended but some other spy sent by Cuthbertson to keep an eye on the hunchback?
41078Tell me who was this foe?"
41078That being so, who are we, his disciples as it were, to judge him?
41078The hunchback called him Paul--""Then,"I gasped in amazement,"you-- you are the hunchback''s son?"
41078Then one terrible question stared up at me with awe- inspiring distinctness: Was this crime the work of Jose Casteno?
41078Then seeing he had put me to some confusion he went on with great earnestness:"Look here, man, why do n''t you trust me a little more?
41078Then why fight amongst ourselves?"
41078Then, if we put away this ceremony of initiation of his, what ceremony could we devise to take its place?"
41078Through what channel can we arrange a course of combined action?"
41078To whom?
41078Wait until our companions recover themselves and my friend and I have had a little fresh air, will you?
41078Was I discreet to rely on him when great stakes, not only mine but England''s, hung in the balance?
41078Was that accident-- or conscience?
41078Well, the point will next arise-- can anybody else, or any other country, produce an earlier proof of ownership?
41078What I want to know is: What business is it of yours what I have bought and what I have discovered?
41078What about that dagger of yours?
41078What about your luggage?"
41078What are they to you, or to anyone?"
41078What are you doing here?
41078What could these monks be?
41078What did I tell you?"
41078What did you do to poor Sparhawk when he got hot and angry and struck out in my defence?"
41078What do you mean?"
41078What do you mean?"
41078What do you say to slipping over this wall and stealing across the grounds?
41078What do you think of the transformation?
41078What do you think, Glynn?"
41078What excuse could I make to Jose Casteno?
41078What had happened?
41078What happened then?"
41078What if she did not know me in that disguise?
41078What is the reason of it?
41078What is this Order of St Bruno?"
41078What on earth, then, can this Order of St Bruno be?"
41078What was I to do?
41078What was at the bottom of it?--a secret of State or of life?
41078What was it?"
41078What was that you said?"
41078What was that?"
41078What would happen then?
41078What''s up?"
41078What, dearest, I want to hear from you is this"--and I smiled into her eyes--"On what mad pretext were you lured here?
41078What, for instance, is the name or position of Mr Glynn''s employer?"
41078When shall I hear from you?
41078Where do they come from?"
41078Where does Worcester happen to be?"
41078Where have you been to at this ungodly hour?"
41078Where will you come that I may report to you?"
41078Where, then, should they be placed?
41078Where, though, is the hunchback?
41078Whither was he bound?
41078Who else could have any interest in the stabbing of that poor, faithful brute than the murderer of his master?
41078Who else have we to fear?"
41078Who would triumph?
41078Why are you Jesuits so heartily disliked, not only in England, but in Italy, in Spain, in France, in Germany, and also in South America?"
41078Why be a merely passive instrument in this great struggle between nations and persons for this Lake of Sacred Treasure?
41078Why did n''t you call yourselves something less Catholic, more indicative of your real object?"
41078Why did you get up and sharpen it on the hearthstone directly you thought I should not see you?"
41078Why do n''t you tell this big, bullying, aggressive friend of ours what those three deeds contained?
41078Why does n''t he come forward and tell the police as much as he knows of the affair?"
41078Why go on?
41078Why not be content to labour in the dark until the time for the light comes?
41078Why should you cloak yourselves in mystery, in doubt, in veiled hints, in suspicion?
41078Why should you people, here in the very heart of a busy modern city like London, not practise the same candour?
41078Why the deuce did n''t you leave me in peace for a time?"
41078Why wo n''t you tell me?"
41078Why, after all, should I fall into that very common error and get enraged with the truth?
41078Why, therefore, Glynn, do n''t you apply yourself for admission to the Order of St Bruno?"
41078Why?
41078Why_ Saint_ Bruno if you have no religious object and significance?
41078Will he honour us by occupying that?"
41078Will you answer our plain question?-- will you give up those manuscripts to the British Government, or will you not?"
41078Will you join?"
41078Would Lord Cyril Cuthbertson forgive you all the old enmities-- the bad quarters of an hour he has suffered from you since he and you quarrelled?
41078Would n''t it be better if pressure were placed on him?"
41078Would you respond to this and renounce your birthright, or not?
41078You do n''t think I''m a young monk who has got spoiled in the making, do you?
41078You or I?"
41078You play the avaricious fool, do you see?
41078You''re here late, are n''t you?"
41078Your father and I are old friends; how is it he did n''t warn me?"
41078` What do you want?''
41078we can all be wise after the event, ca n''t we?
41078what a stupid I was not to think of that before?
35254A cab, sir?
35254A doctor?
35254A paper- cutter, say?
35254A woman,--or women?
35254About like Miss Prall?
35254Accurate and careful, eh? 35254 Ah, that brings back the picture, does it?
35254All amicable?
35254All right,chirped Zizi,"what followed?"
35254All right; where''s your trained nurse in Sir Herbert''s bright galaxy of beauty?
35254All the house girls?
35254And Miss Gurney wished the old gentleman out of the way?
35254And Sir Herbert did?
35254And are n''t buns bread?
35254And behind the mirror?
35254And did the women murder him for that?
35254And do you think Crippen is a promising way to look?
35254And he never chatted with you about his young lady friends?
35254And how did it?
35254And if I have?
35254And if I refuse?
35254And it went as far as an engagement?
35254And neither Mrs Everett nor Miss Prall approve the match?
35254And perhaps you will tell us to whom your suspicion points?
35254And she stands for the feud?
35254And the assailant did use it?
35254And the brush?
35254And the business men?
35254And the chorus ladies? 35254 And then?"
35254And they did n''t act in collusion?
35254And they did?
35254And this Mr Vail you took upstairs,--he would n''t know anything?
35254And this was about midnight?
35254And where had you spent the evening?
35254And where were you?
35254And who do you think killed him?
35254And you came in last night just before Sir Herbert came?
35254And you can usually work it out?
35254And you take back the statement that you saw a woman?
35254And you will take up the Bun business?
35254And your diagnosis of the killing corresponds in all points with this night porter''s story?
35254And, how''d those little chorus chickens get it, if they''re the ones?
35254Any developments?
35254Are you and Gibbs going to make a success of this case or not? 35254 Are you sure it was Miss Everett they saw?"
35254Are you sure of these things? 35254 Are you sure?"
35254As he was last night?
35254As how, miss?
35254As to business matters, you are sole heir, I understand, Mr Bates?
35254At two in the morning?
35254At what time was this?
35254Ba? 35254 But I suppose they''re not the sort of girls to stab him in their righteous wrath?"
35254But he seemed really interested----"As he never had been before,commented Zizi, and adding,"and as he never has been since?"
35254But how could she be sure she''d have the chance in the lobby?
35254But how could you tell, if the figure was a veiled one?
35254But if I just told_ you_, now, miss?
35254But over here he preferred the chorus girls?
35254But she might have been in the halls for any purpose----"At two o''clock in the morning?
35254But tell me this; what women are suspected? 35254 But who did it?
35254But, I believe the late Sir Herbert favored the match between Mr Bates and Miss Everett?
35254But, you must pardon me if I seem intrusive, I am assuming that we are at one in this matter of investigation?
35254Ca n''t you be more definite? 35254 Ca n''t you give me another twenty- four hours?"
35254Care to mention names?
35254Caught on to anything, Zizi?
35254Chorus girls? 35254 Daughter of your own mother, hey?"
35254Dear friend,murmured Mrs Everett,"how can you think I''d go off and leave you while you''re in such trouble?
35254Did Crippen?
35254Did Mr Vail seem about as usual when he was talking to you, going up in the elevator?
35254Did n''t he have the recipe for sale?
35254Did n''t you make that remark?
35254Did they? 35254 Did you hear him say it?"
35254Do n''t I? 35254 Do n''t be too sure that you wo n''t have him,"Miss Prall temporized;"when does his time for decision expire?"
35254Do n''t you know, woman, that you can be jailed if you withhold information from the police?
35254Do n''t you think so?
35254Do you call it sorrow and grief? 35254 Do you know what the weapon was?"
35254Do you know what''s going on, Adeline Everett? 35254 Do you mean some of Uncle Bin''s English people came over here and did for him?"
35254Do you really how anything of importance, that might lead to the discovery of the people who murdered Sir Herbert Binney? 35254 Do you suppose I do n''t know my business?"
35254Do you?
35254Does n''t she''remember''the housemaid, either?
35254Does this let out the Prall or Everett suspects?
35254Does this man live with you? 35254 Dropped handkerchiefs and such like?"
35254First of all, where are we going? 35254 First, tell me if you have any suspicions?"
35254For whom?
35254Going to organize a Bakery of ex- chorus girls?
35254Going to persuade them to throw in their fortunes with yours?
35254Got anybody in view?
35254Hates?
35254Have you any clews?
35254Have you any knowledge, suspicion or evidence?
35254Have you heard?
35254Have you looked up his record for last evening? 35254 Have you seen the paper,--the message?"
35254Have you, Miss Prall, definite evidence against Mrs Everett that you accuse her?
35254Have you, Mrs Everett, any grounds for such accusation other than a foolish speech about wishing the man was dead?
35254He could in a story book,--and do you know why? 35254 He did?
35254He did?
35254He married you in an extremity of fear,--fear that you would tell of his visit to the room,--now, who could it be, Penny? 35254 He wanted to sell out to you?"
35254He was stabbed?
35254House girls? 35254 How about the murderer being a clever man, who had this paper all ready, and brought it with him and laid it beside his victim?"
35254How about these two women being the women meant on the paper message?
35254How can you be sure it was not she unless you are sure who it was?
35254How could I know anything about this man or his women? 35254 How do you do, Uncle Bunny?"
35254How do you do?
35254How do you do?
35254How do you do?
35254How do you know he died?
35254How do you know so certainly?
35254How do you know?
35254How do you mean, spent it?
35254How do you_ know_ some one came up from the seventh floor? 35254 How far could you see?"
35254How is it that you preserve such youthful interest?
35254How should I know that?
35254How you going to work on the case?
35254How-- what made you think of that?
35254How?
35254I know I did, but what other way can we turn? 35254 I mean do n''t you think it pretty impossible for women to put over such a crime?"
35254I say, Uncle Herb, what about the Follies to- night? 35254 I suppose you would n''t peek over to the last page?"
35254I take it, then, that we are working in unison,--at least, in concord?
35254I think it''s an eyesore, do n''t you? 35254 I wo n''t tell her, if----""Oh, you''d better tell me-- what is it?"
35254I wonder if it would help matters if you met Uncle Binney?
35254I''m not saying,--for why should I make trouble for an innercent human bein''?
35254I''m ready to back Ricky''s prospects to the uttermost, if only--"If only what? 35254 I''ve always heard no one must touch a murdered man until----""Then how are we to know it is a murder?"
35254If the Everetts are leaving, why should Miss Prall go to the trouble of eliminating the Bun man?
35254Ill?
35254In the desk?
35254Is my uncle-- er,--lit up?
35254Is that so? 35254 Is that so?"
35254Is that''feud''of which you''ve told me, a distinctly ladylike performance?
35254Is there a matron or housekeeper? 35254 It''s evidence, you know----""For whom?
35254Just what do you mean by that?
35254Just what do you mean?
35254Just what do you mean?
35254Lame?
35254Look here, Corson, are you getting anywhere, or are n''t you?
35254Ma''am?
35254Me? 35254 Meaning Mrs Everett and her daughter?"
35254Meaning you''re questioning my veracity, or connecting me with the crime?
35254Meaning?
35254Might they not have met after the Magnifique supper?
35254Mind if I call him up and ask him?
35254Miss Gurney,and Gibbs turned toward her with a determined glance,"you spoke of the young women employed in the house; had you any one in mind?"
35254Molly? 35254 Mr Bates, where were you last evening?"
35254Must you have an interview just now, Mr Corson?
35254Need I stay?
35254No idea? 35254 No-- I suppose not-- and yet, why not?
35254Not forgetting the danger you run of being arrested?
35254Now, Miss Baxter, do you still deny all implication in the affair?
35254Now, Ricky boy, what is it? 35254 Now, look here, did any of those four girls get angry enough to wish Sir Herbert any harm?"
35254Now, please, auntie,--please, Mrs Everett, ca n''t you two forget your private enmity for a few minutes and just settle this big matter? 35254 Now,"he said,"I admit I made as little noise as possible, but did you hear me go out of the front door?"
35254Now,said Zizi, after Moore had disappeared,"Vail''s one; who''s the other?"
35254Of course, why not?
35254Oh, I do n''t doubt all that,Zizi said, impatiently,"but what does it mean?
35254Oh, dear Miss Gurney, help us, wo n''t you? 35254 Oh, then?
35254Oh, well, go on,--what were you saying?
35254Oho, fond of detective work, are you? 35254 Opinions on what?"
35254Own up to what?
35254Peters? 35254 Preferring more feminine natures?"
35254Reasons?
35254Shall I telephone or go up there----?
35254She said that?
35254Sir Herbert was good natured?
35254Sounding you?
35254Stolen?
35254Such as,----?
35254Suspicion has n''t attacked you?
35254Taxi ready?
35254That?
35254The nephew?
35254The woman,--which one is the Prall''s chambermaid?
35254Then you do n''t know the young man? 35254 Then you think the''women''might have referred to these two maids?"
35254Then you think women really did the deed?
35254Then,the red lips pouted,"when am I to tell you how much I love you?"
35254Then-- then----"Then let''s get married, and go off by ourselves? 35254 There''s no knowing when Mr Wise will show up,"Zizi observed;"do n''t you want to tell me?
35254There''s room for that assumption, if you like,Zizi declared,"but what''ve you got to back it up?
35254They all have declared they were in bed and asleep but who''s to witness that?
35254This gives strength to your suspicions?
35254This man''s relation to you?
35254Unless you are unusually acute of hearing, are you?
35254Vail? 35254 Vail?"
35254W-- what are you talking about? 35254 Was Sir Herbert like that?"
35254Was Sir Herbert sly and canny?
35254Was he afraid of imperfect drains, unaired mattresses or careless cleaning?
35254Was he?
35254Was there such a breach?
35254Was this gentleman-- er, addicted to ladies''society?
35254Well, but he_ did_, did n''t he? 35254 Well, but what good does it do to surmise that?
35254Well, ca n''t you go and strike it somewhere else?
35254Well, if you''ve struck off Crippen''s name, where do we stand?
35254Well, it seems strange, does it not, that she says pretty much the same about you?
35254Well, now that you''ve decided you saw a man, who was the man?
35254Well, that makes him no kin of mine, does it? 35254 Well, well, what_ do_ you know about it?
35254Well,and Bates spoke defiantly,"what does it prove?
35254Well,said Miss Prall, stiffly,"what do you want to know?"
35254Well,--you see, ma''am, I was in the bathroom,--and----"And the person did n''t know you were there, and you made no sign?
35254Well?
35254What about his friendships with ladies?
35254What always troubles her? 35254 What are you doing?
35254What are you going to do? 35254 What choice have we?
35254What did he say? 35254 What did he want to sell you?"
35254What did this person seem to be looking for?
35254What did you learn in at the Everett''s, Mr Gibbs?
35254What do I care? 35254 What do you advise?"
35254What do you mean by that?
35254What do you mean by that?
35254What do you mean-- all hinges on that?
35254What do you mean? 35254 What do you mean?"
35254What do you mean?
35254What do you think? 35254 What does she say that for?
35254What for?
35254What have you got to back up any theory?
35254What have you to tell? 35254 What is it?"
35254What is it?
35254What is this bun business? 35254 What makes you think so?"
35254What match?
35254What matter? 35254 What right have you got to dictate to me?
35254What sort of an accident? 35254 What time was all this?"
35254What was her motive?
35254What was it? 35254 What was the weapon?
35254What was the-- the person looking for,--I mean where was the search made?
35254What with?
35254What would be her motive?
35254What''d you do that for?
35254What''s Mrs Everett got to do with the murder?
35254What''s happened?
35254What''s it called?
35254What''s that?
35254What''s the matter? 35254 What''s the next move?"
35254What?
35254What?
35254What_ do_ you mean?
35254When you found him?
35254Where had he been?
35254Where is his room, and where is your own?
35254Where is this entrance? 35254 Where were you last night?"
35254Where were you when he was killed?
35254Where you going to have the funeral and when?
35254Where''d it come from?
35254Where''d you get all that dope, Corson?
35254Where''d you spend the evening?
35254Where?
35254Which way shall we look?
35254Who are eliminated?
35254Who are you, madam?
35254Who calls her that?
35254Who could it be, Molly?
35254Who do you think it was,--or, might have been?
35254Who paid you to do that?
35254Who saw him come in? 35254 Who says he did n''t write it?"
35254Who told you?
35254Who was she?
35254Who''s in command here?
35254Who''s nearest of kin?
35254Who''s the criminal, Zizi?
35254Who, for instance?
35254Who?
35254Why are you here, Letitia Prall?
35254Why are you interested in them?
35254Why did n''t you report his actions to the management?
35254Why do n''t you stick to your subject, Corson?
35254Why do you suggest anybody? 35254 Why do you think she knows something?"
35254Why kill him at all?
35254Why make us both sorry?
35254Why must Moore necessarily be either?
35254Why not a messenger from some other of the bakeries interested? 35254 Why not, child?"
35254Why not? 35254 Why not?
35254Why not? 35254 Why should I have?"
35254Why should she be secretive?
35254Why should there be?
35254Why so, if it is true?
35254Why suspect anybody? 35254 Why worry?"
35254Why''women,''then?
35254Why, Aunt Letitia, have you no wish to find out who killed Uncle Herbert?
35254Why, Bob Moore could n''t do such a thing, and, besides, what would be his motive?
35254Why, Dorrie, darling, what is it? 35254 Why, Ziz?"
35254Why, of course,agreed Miss Prall;"where else could they have come from?
35254Why, say Mrs Everett was in waiting, till Binney should come in----"Where was she?
35254Why, we were talking about the book I was reading----"You were both talking-- or you were talking to him?
35254Why, what do you mean? 35254 Why?"
35254Why?
35254Will you come downstairs, sir, right away? 35254 Will you make a statement or shall I ask questions?"
35254Will you read that paper, Miss Prall? 35254 Women did this,"said the doctor, his eyes fairly bulging;"what-- what does it mean?
35254Would n''t Binney sell that?
35254Yes''m, the person sneaks up the stairs and into the sitting- room----"Opening the door with a key?
35254Yes, I do,--or I did, until----"Until you saw the person?
35254Yes, indeed; who does n''t? 35254 Yes, that''s all right, son, but ca n''t your good- fellowship extend itself to the Buns?"
35254Yes, that''s the way it was; I thought I''d find out something----"And did you?
35254Yes, that''s what I meant,--but, we could n''t if this matter is public property, and I suppose it is, or will be?
35254Yes,Dorcas returned, and then, shyly,"Please do n''t say I was with Mr Bates, will you?"
35254Yes; are you interested to know what I have learned?
35254Yes? 35254 Yes?
35254Yes?
35254You and he friendly?
35254You came straight to me?
35254You can prove this?
35254You do n''t connect the Everetts with the murder, do you?
35254You do n''t think your daughter is-- is interested in Mr Bates?
35254You have faith in her own innocence, then?
35254You heard this, Dorcas? 35254 You knew at once who it was?"
35254You mean you think Mrs Everett walked up seven flights of stairs after the deed?
35254You mean you''d have been glad to be rid of him in some more peaceable fashion?
35254You refuse to state where you spent last evening?
35254You take no thought of the young people''s heart- break?
35254You''d like her to be?
35254You''d rather be arrested and held on suspicion?
35254You''re saying I lie?
35254You''re sure of this?
35254You''re the heir, are n''t you, Rick?
35254You''ve been here several days, now, Mr Wise,she said;"have you made any real progress?"
35254You-- you do n''t suspect her, do you?
35254Your uncle, eh? 35254 A moment he gazed in silence at his uncle''s face, and then said, excitedly,Who did this?
35254A valet?"
35254Adeline Everett accuses me?"
35254Against whom?"
35254Agree to that, Gibbs?"
35254Also, you know who the man was,--and you wo n''t tell, and you say it was a woman, because-- because what, Molly?"
35254Always saying,''Well, little one, how do you like my new necktie?''
35254Am I being put through a third degree?"
35254Am I being questioned as a possible suspect?"
35254Am I to be insulted in my own house?
35254And I said I''d tell if he did n''t marry me, so rather than have his girl accused, or his girl''s----""Zizi, why do we listen to this pack of lies?"
35254And at what time did you retire?"
35254And can you fail to heed his dying message?
35254And did he detain you at this floor,--or did_ you_ keep_ him_, talking about the detective story you were reading?"
35254And he left his revolver,----""Left his revolver?
35254And how do you know?"
35254And she''s such a liar----""Oh, Penny, you ca n''t let a lady liar fool you, can you?
35254And what have you done?
35254And who could have been the bridegroom except the one interested in suppressing Molly''s secret, whatever it might be?
35254And why do you want to tell anybody?"
35254And why keep it so secret?
35254And yet,--who can say that?
35254And you advised him?"
35254And you think you can work a third degree on me-- and railroad me to the chair, do you?
35254And you will be getting married?"
35254And, I say,--what-- how was he killed?"
35254And, therefore, I ask you, where_ is_ this recipe?"
35254And_ if_ women, who more likely than the chorus girls?
35254Andy they gave him another maid?"
35254Any aspersions against my uncle''s character?"
35254Any kind of a stroke?"
35254Any one else?"
35254Anybody else around, beginning with Bo,--or Ba?
35254Are n''t you going to make her talk?"
35254Are the raving words, the wicked thoughts of a misguided, vicious woman to be believed by those who hear them?
35254Are we on?"
35254Are you and Mr Wise partners?"
35254Are you and my nephew engaged?
35254Are you implying there''s anything in my disfavor?
35254Are you men coming with me?"
35254Are you?"
35254As a matter of fact, Mr Gibbs, we''re----""Dearest enemies?"
35254Bates stared;"Aunt Letitia?"
35254Bates, are you in any coil with Molly?"
35254Bates?"
35254Bates?"
35254Beside, you''ll never know----""Who the person is?
35254But I went down farther and I caught sight of a woman with a shawl over her head----""What kind of a shawl?"
35254But can you?"
35254But do n''t do it any more-- will you?
35254But how is it possible?
35254But if you give up your life work,--oh, Rick, what could you do?"
35254But tell me, where were those two girls the night of the murder of Sir Herbert Binney?"
35254But what are we going to do?"
35254But what are you getting at?
35254But what women did it?
35254But you know what old maids are----""How comes it that, while you and Miss Prall are at such odds, you have the same admirers?
35254But, if not for that, what_ was_ Dorcas out in the hall for, all dressed, at that time of night?"
35254But, tell me this: Would your uncle stand for it,--and let you go on with your own work?"
35254But, tell me, how did your mother hear?
35254But, what other idea suggests itself?"
35254By the way, did you study to be a nurse?"
35254CHAPTER V Who Were the Women?
35254Ca n''t you get all the deductions you want, and let me clean up?
35254Ca n''t you go away or something till it is all past history?"
35254Ca n''t you guess who?"
35254Ca n''t you look ahead to-- to something?"
35254Ca n''t you see the reasonableness of suspecting a trained nurse, after Dr Pagett''s opinions?"
35254Ca n''t you see, Mr Gibbs, that that is a made- up yarn?
35254Can I do anything for you?"
35254Can we drop the whole thing?"
35254Can we go for a walk?"
35254Can you divine?"
35254Can you get over to- day?"
35254Can you tie it onto her any more definitely?"
35254Can you, now?
35254Come now, are you going to own up?"
35254Come, Molly, own up; was it Miss Prall searching the room?"
35254Corroded her soul?
35254Could you say he did that purposely?"
35254Did he have any yesterday?"
35254Did he mention any names?
35254Did he really keep you from going back by talking to you?
35254Did n''t you notice her do that?
35254Did the man get what he wanted from Sir Herbert''s room?"
35254Do n''t you know what revue?
35254Do n''t you know you''ll be arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced?
35254Do n''t you think you ought to keep tabs on him?"
35254Do you know Crippen?"
35254Do you know everybody''s touch?"
35254Do you know something you have n''t told me?
35254Do you know that your daughter is-- is interested in my nephew?
35254Do you know what they''re saying about your uncle''s murder, now?"
35254Do you learn of that sort of thing from your nephew?
35254Do you mean that?"
35254Do you see?"
35254Do you want to do so if the trail leads toward the Everett household?"
35254Does any one present know where Mr Binney-- is that the name?--spent this evening?
35254Does he like girls?"
35254Does it change the meaning?"
35254Does n''t it make you ill?"
35254Eh?"
35254Elevator girls?"
35254Else, where''d they get the knife?
35254Even Wise looked up in amazement;"What_ do_ you mean, Zizi?"
35254H''m----Say, Mr. Bates, do you know where your uncle spent the evening?"
35254Had he?
35254Hardened her heart?
35254Has his pet chorus girl given him the mitten?"
35254Has it come to that?"
35254Has some one paid you for it?
35254Have you any definite complaint to make, Miss Everett?"
35254Have you any idea of the identity of the women?
35254Have you any real evidence to work on?"
35254Have you any suspicion-- in any direction?"
35254Have you any theory that would fit the facts?"
35254Have you ever thought, Mr Bates, that the feud between your aunt and Mrs Everett is a mighty queer affair?"
35254Have you never known a knight?"
35254Have you, Miss Prall?"
35254He belonged on the tenth floor and as they ascended, Moore, full of his story, said:"Ever read detective stories, Mr Vail?"
35254He came in and I took him up----""And came right down again?"
35254He lived in the Prall apartment, did n''t he?"
35254He mumbled a word or two----""What did he say?"
35254He was insufferable----""In what way?"
35254He_ had_ to, did n''t he, to get there at all?
35254Hear me?"
35254Here''s Miss Everett, do you still say so?"
35254How about it?"
35254How can you stand it?
35254How can your investigations of this murder case be affected by my friendship for Miss Everett?"
35254How could I have?"
35254How could he write all that after he was stabbed with a stroke that killed him?"
35254How could that happen?"
35254How did he?
35254How did you come to be listening?
35254How do you know he did n''t leave the apartment later?"
35254How should I know?"
35254How tall was she?"
35254How was he killed?
35254How_ could_ women do it?"
35254I ca n''t doubt or disbelieve a dying statement,--can you, Mr Vail?"
35254I did n''t know you thought so much of the departed nobleman-- he was a nobleman, was n''t he?
35254I do n''t blame you for wanting to make a little easy money,--who does n''t?
35254I doubt if she meant it----""Do you doubt her capable of committing such a crime?"
35254I have a reason, that I do n''t wish to state at present, but I ask you frankly if those two girls are honest and reliable?"
35254I know neither was really guilty----""Wait a minute,"put in Wise,"how do you know that?"
35254I mean, does he merely sell the good will,--of what?"
35254I mean, she may have kept watch for her mother----""What do you mean,--kept watch?
35254I mean, was it physically possible?"
35254I mean, what do we care?
35254I mean, what''s the general report?"
35254I say, Vail, what do you think about the Crippen deal?
35254I suppose you agree to that?"
35254I want to hear the details; have you found out who did it?
35254I''ve got a couple of seats,--and I know your tastes----""Front row?"
35254II A TRICKY GAME III THE SCRAWLED MESSAGE IV THE BUSY POLICE V WHO WERE THE WOMEN?
35254If he was n''t afraid of germs, why have new paper?"
35254If she should send me to Auntie Fayre''s-- but she won''t----""If she should, what?"
35254If you wo n''t cut and run with me,--and if you''re in earnest about not meeting me secretly any more,--what_ can_ we do?"
35254If, as you say, it was Richard Bates, why did he do it?"
35254In Sir Herbert''s rooms?"
35254Interested, are you?
35254Is he dead?"
35254Is it a bargain?"
35254Is it a crime to be of Miss Prall''s appearance?"
35254Is she crazy?
35254Is that quite fair?"
35254It seemed utterly useless to Bates, for what could possibly be gained from scrutinizing the floor where the dead man had lain?
35254It was a T,--a capital T.""Well?
35254It''s unintelligible, but what_ could_ he have meant?
35254Julie Baxter?"
35254Just what did this man say after he was hurt,--that you heard?"
35254Know anybody beginning with Bo?"
35254Look here, Mr Gibbs, what about my aunt''s connection with this matter?"
35254Miss Prall, she''s on the eighth, too, shall I call her up?"
35254Moore?
35254Moreover, Sir Herbert favored Rickey''s marriage----""To your daughter?"
35254Mr. Binney,--that is, Sir Binney, you know,--he''s-- he''s----""Well, he''s what?"
35254Mrs Everett looked at him sharply and was momentarily disconcerted enough to gasp out:"Oh, have you a clue?"
35254Must have been some of those skylarking kids, and yet, it ai n''t likely, is it now?
35254Not of course, the actual criminal, but in any way implicated?"
35254Nothing, as usual?
35254Now, Molly, you do n''t dare go contrary to Mr Vail''s orders, I know, but do n''t you think you''d better do that than to go to jail?"
35254Now, confidentially, just among us three here, could she have done it?
35254Now, granting for argument''s sake that one of you is guilty, would not the plausible procedure be to pretend to suspect the other?"
35254Now, how long had you been absent from this place when you returned and found him?"
35254Now, look here, suppose, just for a moment, there had been no written message,--which way would you look then?"
35254Now, to start straight, what''s the motive in each of these two cases?"
35254Now, what''ll you take for all you really know about the matter, and guarantee to be the strict truth?"
35254Now, where does that lead you?"
35254Now, who''s going to stick up a man like that?
35254Of course, I did n''t let him do that, but it seemed sorta queer,--didn''t it, now?"
35254Oh, Dork, will you?"
35254Oh, Ricky, for shame?"
35254Oh, yes,--of course,--it''s a murder, is n''t it?"
35254Or any way to learn of his whereabouts?"
35254Or even to know that?"
35254Or the girls''names?"
35254Or, wait, was the beshawled one of Kate Holland''s style?
35254S''posen I said I died o''laughin'', would you think I was dead?
35254See, Ziz?"
35254Shall I do it?"
35254Shall I tell your aunt?"
35254Shall you finish your book to- night?"
35254She gave a perfectly good motive,--why, Pen, if women killed that man where''s another motive that can hold a candle to the''woman scorned''idea?
35254So, must we give up?"
35254So, now, Mr Smarty- Cat, what are you going to do about it?"
35254So, what would a woman of her caliber and her determination do, but put him out of the way?"
35254So, which is my room?"
35254So----""The person?"
35254Some one who realized why Sir Herbert had his room repapered----""Clever trick, was n''t it?"
35254Something desperate?"
35254Something you do n''t want to tell me?
35254Suppose Sir Herbert came in and Moore stabbed him----""And Sir Herbert wrote a paper saying it was women?"
35254Supposing my uncle had n''t come in?"
35254Taxi smash- up?
35254Tea Room?
35254Tell me now, do you think Letitia Prall is at the back of all this?
35254That telephone girl, now,----""Eliza,_ will_ you keep still?"
35254That''s all, and if it''s of any importance----""It does n''t seem to me to be of much,--what do you think?"
35254The Popular Popovers, or whatever it''s called,--or Mr Vail''s company?"
35254The air was an old song, a one- time favorite,"Wo n''t you come out and play wiz me?"
35254The chambermaid?
35254The part on the wall is one letter,--the initial letter of what he wrote----""What was it?
35254The wound was such as to cause almost instantaneous death?"
35254Therefore, Zizi argued, there had been a ceremony and why would it have taken place except to shut Molly''s mouth?
35254They''re-- they''re ladies----""That does n''t deny the possibility,--what else?"
35254Those men do n''t get anywhere?"
35254Though there''s one of''em, now,----""Which one?"
35254To be sure, I honor your truthfulness and all that,--but, oh, little girl, ca n''t you put me ahead of your mother?"
35254Waited out in the street at that hour?"
35254Want to see it?"
35254Was he a fussy gentleman, about germs, say, and----""Germs?
35254Was it a man or a woman?"
35254Was it those sweet little dancing girlies?
35254Well, Richard,--yes or no?"
35254Well, Sir Herbert, then,--did he live here?"
35254Well, and then, he gave over trying and died, you say; and then?"
35254Well, did you admit this man?"
35254Well, do you want me down here?
35254Well, then, when you came down, and found the wounded man, you went at once for the doctor?"
35254Well, young man, what about your escapade in the Park?
35254Were there no other girls in the world,--in your life,--that you must choose that one?
35254What alternative?"
35254What did she say?"
35254What did she say?"
35254What did you do it for?
35254What did you do with the paper- cutter from your library table,--I see there is an empty sheath still there?"
35254What do you know about that, Little Peachbloom?"
35254What do you know?
35254What do you know?"
35254What has Dick Bates ever done?
35254What has spoiled and embittered her whole life?
35254What have you done in that line?"
35254What is it that troubles your aunt?"
35254What is this condition you impose on the lad?
35254What more do you want?"
35254What ones are possible suspects?"
35254What other women,--what other sort of women would commit such a deed?
35254What possible circumstance could explain it?
35254What time did he go?"
35254What was he doing?"
35254What was its cause?"
35254What were you doing all that time?"
35254What women?
35254What women?"
35254What''s the big idea?"
35254What''s this paper?"
35254What''s_ your_ name?
35254What_ is_ the matter, dearest?"
35254When can I see you again?"
35254Where are they?"
35254Where are you?"
35254Where did he set out for when he left home?
35254Where did you dig that up?"
35254Where do you suppose the weapon is?"
35254Where had he gone or whom had he met?
35254Where is it?
35254Where shall I put the girl?"
35254Where was he in the meantime?"
35254Where were you at two o''clock this morning?"
35254Where were you last night at two o''clock?"
35254Where were you?"
35254Where''s the knife?
35254Who can they be?"
35254Who did it?"
35254Who do you think killed him?"
35254Who else could it be?
35254Who is it?"
35254Who is that man?"
35254Who told you I was the heir?"
35254Who was it?
35254Who was on door duty?
35254Who''s down there?"
35254Who''s he?"
35254Why I do----""Well, when you do-- what?"
35254Why ca n''t they buy a bun and analyze it, and so find out how it''s made?"
35254Why could Melly make a man marry her, unless he were desperately afraid of what she could tell?"
35254Why do n''t you go about it from the other side?
35254Why do n''t you put a handwriting expert on that paper, and see if it''s in the dead man''s fist or not?"
35254Why do you go around sneaking up on any woman you can hear of?
35254Why do you touch him before the police arrive?"
35254Why drag in Crippen?"
35254Why kill the man, else?"
35254Why not suspect them?"
35254Why not use the elevator?"
35254Why was n''t this found sooner?"
35254Why would he?
35254Why, Mr Vail, the victim was killed,--killed, mind you,--in a room that was all locked up----""How did the murderer get in?"
35254Why, how could that be?"
35254Why, miss?"
35254Why, who did it?"
35254Why?"
35254Why?"
35254Will you be quiet?"
35254Will you forget it,--since you''ve answered me as you have?"
35254Will you go or shall I?"
35254Yes?
35254Yet what can we do?
35254You are a detective just as much as Mr Wise is one,--I''m an interested principal, just as much as Richard Bates is,--can''t we do something big?"
35254You are sole heir?"
35254You ca n''t scare me that way?
35254You do know it all, do n''t you?"
35254You do n''t know of any nurse or ex- nurse in your uncle''s circle of friends?"
35254You do n''t know of anything against the Bakery men, do you, Peters?"
35254You do n''t see anything, do you?"
35254You do n''t suppose it is too late, do you?"
35254You do n''t think he was hiding there_ waiting_ to be killed, do you?
35254You his heir?"
35254You knew Sir Herbert Binney pretty well, did n''t you, Mr Vail?"
35254You know how carelessly she speaks of serious things?"
35254You know my uncle planned to see him that night regarding a sale of the business, and----""Did he see him?"
35254You know of the firm?"
35254You mean, of course, before Mr Wise took the rooms?"
35254You only assume his character?
35254You see, I''ve read a great many detective stories----""Yes; you were reading one this evening?
35254You sick?"
35254You used to be my friend,--have you forsaken me entirely?"
35254You wo n''t tell, will you?
35254You''ll regret, when it''s too late----""Why, what''s your alternative plan?"
35254You''re engaged to Moore, eh?"
35254You''ve had your eyes on Moore, have n''t you?"
35254cried Richard, eagerly;"Do you mean that in that case, we might meet now and then?"
35254he said, slowly;"that is, what are you hinting?"
35254miss, how do you mean?"
42907A romance,he said,"is something that is not true?"
42907Am I to accept this as an acquiescence in the arrangement I have proposed?
42907Are you frightened, Fanny?
42907Are you quite mad?
42907Are you sure it is Richard Manx who is in the next house?
42907Are you sure there is no one but ourselves in the house?
42907Are you writing a book?
42907Assist what?
42907But what is it all about?
42907Did they hear the key turn?
42907Did you hear anything?
42907Do n''t you see I''m in a hurry?
42907Do you forget what was done in this room the last time we were here together?
42907Do you intend them to know it?
42907Do you know what I have to do to- night?
42907Do you suppose any person-- especially a lady, as Mrs. Holdfast is-- could possibly say what is not true, in such a position as hers?
42907Do you think you can do better?
42907Do you wish to take the house?
42907Does our young man lodger pay his rent regularly?
42907Does the window open easily?
42907Has anything happened?
42907Have you any brandy, Pelham?
42907Have you done with your trifling?
42907Have you heard anything?
42907Have you made another Will?
42907Have you not already selected confidants to whom you have poured out false stories of your wrongs?
42907Have you not already spoken of what has occurred?
42907How am I to know that?
42907How can I thank you? 42907 How can that be done?"
42907How can you tell? 42907 How do you know that, Fanny?"
42907How do you know that?
42907How do you know, indeed, that I have been in America all the time I have been absent from England?
42907How do you propose to do that?
42907In what way?
42907Is Nelly your sister?
42907Is our friend at work?
42907Is the first floor front open? 42907 Is there any chance of Richard Manx hearing us?"
42907Is this a police affair, then?
42907It is for business, then,she said, still smiling in my face,"and not for love, you summoned me here?"
42907May I ask what are your conditions?
42907May I ask you one question?
42907Now,repeated Mrs. Holdfast,"who is your sister, and what has brought you here?"
42907Secured by deed?
42907Shall I light a candle?
42907Shall I speak it?
42907That''s the room, is n''t it?
42907The injustice you have done him through me?
42907Then what in the devil''s name brings you here?
42907Then what shall a man do? 42907 To- day?"
42907We can do what you ask,said Becky;"but how are we to let you know?"
42907Well, what is it?
42907What did you come here for? 42907 What do you think it was?"
42907What do you want? 42907 What is that unfortunate lady''s first and most earnest desire?
42907What news?
42907What of that? 42907 What think you of her?"
42907What time do you require?
42907What was my reason?
42907What?
42907When do we begin?
42907Where?
42907Who am I?
42907Who is your lawyer?
42907Who is your sister?
42907Who?
42907Why did n''t your sister take you with her?
42907Why do you hold out such a threat?
42907Why do you recall the name of Antony Cowlrick?
42907Why impossible?
42907Why not proclaim it?
42907Why should you do so?
42907Why,said the courageous little creature,"You do n''t suppose I was going not to find that out, do you?
42907Would you oblige me by stepping upstairs and trying now? 42907 Would_ you_ live in the house?"
42907You are determined?
42907You have n''t taken anything out of it?
42907''Are you ready?''
42907A real swoon?
42907A secret that one day may be discovered, and bring ruin and death to me-- and you?
42907Am I not considerate?
42907Am I the first who has been beguiled by the soft speeches of a fair woman?
42907And for the cunning necessary to keep me and my son apart from each other, have I not had sufficient proof that they are capable of it?
42907And here Fanny concluded the account of her day''s adventures by asking,"Who came in five minutes before I did?"
42907And how have you been all this time?
42907And in payment of these sacrifices, what do you offer?"
42907And then?"
42907And then?"
42907And, after that, where do you think I went?
42907Are you fond of babies?"
42907Are you pleased with me?"
42907Are you quite comfortable, sir?"
42907Are you quite determined to pass these two nights in the house alone?"
42907Are you really determined not to be a little more generous to me?
42907As you say?"
42907But if he be not dead?
42907But it can never be, can it?
42907But should she refuse?
42907But what can a pretty woman do?
42907But when was a woman in love prudent?
42907But without trying to impose upon you, suppose I admit, without any attempt at romance or deceit-- for those acts are played out now, are they not?
42907But you would not have been so-- what do you call it?
42907Ca n''t you content yourself for a little while?
42907Can such a conscience as this man must possess allow him ever to rest?
42907Can such a nature as hers really feel?
42907Can you get into the room?"
42907Can you reconcile it with your knowledge of her?
42907Can you suspect?
42907Did you ever really love me, I wonder?
42907Did you read it?"
42907Do I not put myself entirely in your power?
42907Do you consent?"
42907Do you know any person in London besides me?"
42907Do you see it?
42907Do you still believe all this?"
42907Do you still believe it?"
42907Do you still believe it?"
42907Do you think it possible that this lady was Mrs. Holdfast?
42907Else what does a woman marry for?
42907For myself?
42907For myself?
42907For what purpose?
42907Gold would not have been too good for me to eat then, would it?
42907Had it been found by one whose interest it was to conceal it, or had it escaped all eyes, to be discovered by the son he had unwittingly wronged?
42907Have you noticed how quietly he does everything?
42907Her husband is dead; that wicked young man-- what was his name?"
42907Holdfast?"
42907How about the murder in Great Porter Square?"
42907How do I know but that you have been deceiving me all this while?"
42907How long do you give me to decide between the two things you have offered me?"
42907How often are you going to use that word?
42907I am speaking and arguing like a man, am I not, my dear?
42907I have a right to, have n''t I?
42907I may arrange my hair at your looking glass, may I not?
42907I raised myself in bed, and cried in a loud tone,"Who''s there?"
42907I said to myself,''Fanny, your idea was right; but what does it all mean?''
42907If I had been a man I would have killed you-- do you hear?
42907In mischief''s name, what''s the matter with you now?"
42907In such circumstances as ours, why should not a woman have as much courage as a man?
42907In this Great Porter Square can anyone suspect?
42907In what room does the old bedridden lady, Mrs. Bailey sleep?"
42907In what street in London, in what house, did Fanny and her sister live before the sister ran away?
42907In what way?
42907Is it possible that there can be such wickedness in the world?
42907Is it possible that your father, after you left the country, discovered that his wife was deceiving him, and flew from the shame of her presence?
42907Is it the truth?"
42907Is it to insult me again that you have sent for me now to meet you here alone?"
42907Is love a business, then?
42907Is not a woman, in an emergency, to be trusted with a weapon?
42907Is she not steady, and bright, and clever?
42907Is that correct?"
42907Is the gentleman who employs you taking an active part in what is going to be done?"
42907Is there any other woman you wish to serve as you have served me?"
42907It is right that I should put it plainly to you, is it not?"
42907MY DEAREST LOVE-- How, did you like my little messenger, Fanny?
42907Must you go?
42907Must you leave me?
42907My hair has grown longer since I last saw you-- don''t you think so?
42907My memory is not bad, is it?
42907No?
42907No?
42907No?
42907On Saturday-- shall it be Saturday?
42907Once or twice he asked, under his breath, without stopping:"All right?"
42907Shall I kiss baby for you?
42907Shall I leave behind me a danger hanging over my head-- and yours?
42907Shall I tell you what Richard Manx believes this document to be?
42907So I have consulted a friend-- a lady friend-- you do n''t believe me?
42907Still I did not speak, and as if to compel me, she asked,"Do they not know your name in this house?"
42907That will suit you, will it not?
42907They are both, you say, in the room your father occupied?"
42907They were all in different handwriting, it is true, but may they not have been written by one man?
42907Think you I do not know a lady when she presents herself?
42907To avert any chance of suspicion being directed towards themselves?
42907To be a slave?
42907To bring disgrace upon Pelham is not sufficient-- has he not already reached that end in his life and character?
42907To come straight home to me?
42907Was he absolutely in want?
42907Well now, there''s no harm in that, is there?"
42907What am I to say in case another person, seeing the board still up, applies to me for the particulars?"
42907What are you staring at, you fool?"
42907What brings me here?
42907What brings you here?"
42907What can have become of him?
42907What do they expect?"
42907What do you want me to do?"
42907What do you want?"
42907What does he do then?
42907What follows?
42907What has become of Mrs. Holdfast''s baby?"
42907What has he done with his infernal scribble?
42907What if he_ should_ discover the document he is looking for?
42907What is in the letter?
42907What is it I want?
42907What is my wife doing?
42907What is the meaning of it?"
42907What more likely than that this very room contained a drawer which the key would fit?
42907What object could she have to serve in speaking anything but the truth?
42907What say the people?
42907What say you?
42907What then, remained to be done for safety?
42907What then?
42907What was I saying?
42907What was his reason for concealment?
42907What was this treasure which had been so carefully guarded by a man who had but a few moments to live?
42907What would you require me to do?"
42907What''s that?"
42907What, then, took place between husband and wife, and to whose advantage would it be that he should be made to disappear?
42907What, you will not kiss me even now?
42907Where did I leave off just now?
42907Where else?"
42907Who is the monster?
42907Why did they wait so long before they took steps towards the discovery?
42907Why did you spoil my chances?
42907Why do you conduct yourself like an actress when we two are alone, and there are no witnesses to be misled or deceived?
42907Why proclaim it?"
42907Why, then, should he not have known it on the very night of the murder itself, and why did he keep the knowledge to himself?
42907Why, then, should we prolong this interview?
42907Why?
42907Why?"
42907Will Antony Cowlrick be here this morning?"
42907Will artless women ever be a match for you?
42907Will you give me till then?
42907Will you not as much as shake hands with me?
42907Will you not give me fifteen hundred a year?"
42907Will you not kiss me, even now?
42907Would you like to come up, and see for yourself?"
42907You will not refuse me so short a time as three days, in which I am to decide my fate?"
42907You would thrust me into the streets?"
42907he exclaimed;"do you want to ruin us?
39940''But how in the world did you manage it? 39940 ''Do you know Kendreg?''
39940''Is it possible?'' 39940 A woman?"
39940Ah, you, too, have_ heard_ of him?
39940Am I to understand that you have brought me such a problem?
39940And did he?
39940And from these things,said he,"you draw that he lacks force?"
39940And she never told him?
39940And so she concluded it would be best to''find the body''when she brought in the coffee?
39940And so,putting his hands upon the table, and leaning across to the other,"the paper has been found?"
39940And so,said he,"you could place your hand upon the person who now has the paper, could you?
39940And so,she said to Colonel Stelzner,"you think Mr. Ashton- Kirk very different from the other government agents?"
39940And that is----?
39940And the shoes with the caked soil upon the soles?
39940And when you reasoned that the English doctor must have what you desired,said the smooth voice of Okiu,"you began your operations?"
39940And who is Jackson?
39940And, being so, why did he tell Miss Corbin of the paper? 39940 Any instructions?"
39940Any one here, Stumph?
39940Any visitors?
39940Anything more?
39940Anything to report?
39940Are you acquainted with many here to- night?
39940Are you quite strong enough to tell me what you know?
39940Aside from Okiu, did you see any one else-- of Matsadi''s?
39940At this time of the night? 39940 At what time was this?"
39940Because I say that I know that_ he_ did not,she replied,"does it follow that I must know who_ did_?"
39940Brekling?
39940But before making a beginning, do n''t you think it advisable to secure the presence of one more person? 39940 But if this is so, how do you account for the bizarre-- almost nonsensical methods employed?
39940But surely they have located the girl?
39940But tell me, what had Okiu to say when we burst through the door into the lighted apartment?
39940But the others-- the young lady? 39940 But the police?
39940But what are the developments?
39940But what does it mean?
39940But what was the thing? 39940 But with whom?"
39940But with whom?
39940But,glancing at Fuller,"what happened then?"
39940But,he went on,"experience is knowledge, is it not?
39940But,said Fuller, somewhat at loss,"just how does all this assure you that Miss Corbin now has the paper?"
39940Can the matter not wait until then?
39940Can you give me the address of Postman Jackson, attached to that station?
39940Could I see him wrongfully accused, disgraced? 39940 Could the change in color not be ascribed merely to the fact that the draughtsman used the one that came first to his hand?"
39940Did Warwick return it?
39940Did you close the door while you sat upon the step?
39940Did you expect to see some one?
39940Did you go to him?
39940Did you hear or see anything else, previous to this?
39940Did you look at it after the body was found?
39940Did you notice any one go by in that time?
39940Do you forget that I was in the house on the night that it was done?
39940Do you know whether Dr. Morse has called upon him?
39940Do you mean to say that you were not in the library that night, secretly? 39940 Do you now think they were?"
39940Do you recall that while I was examining the desk I stopped to listen?
39940Dr. Morse is to be buried to- day, I believe?
39940Gustave,said the secret agent,"how long have you been a waiter?"
39940Had a bag, did he? 39940 Has Dr. Morse ever traveled in the East?"
39940Has Purvis come in?
39940Has anything happened?
39940Have a cigar?
39940Have not much more surprising things happened of late?
39940Have they muddled up the trail?
39940Have you any of the envelopes in which they came?
39940Have you any other lodgers?
39940Have you been blind that you have not seen? 39940 Have you been blind, Philip?"
39940Have you brought the gentleman?
39940Have you encountered Matsadi before this?
39940Have you ever heard anything uncommon of the father? 39940 Have you ever heard him express any opinion as to Orientals?"
39940Have you ever noticed that there are individuals who, without any great intimacy, seem to cherish a steady regard for each other? 39940 Have you forgotten her secret conference with the Japanese that day at the window?
39940Have you heard anything from O''Neill?
39940Have you heard anything from Purvis?
39940Have you made any further attempts?
39940Have you, by any chance, one of these drawings?
39940He did not come down again?
39940He has not returned?
39940He is in Washington, then?
39940Hello,cried Fuller,"what''s Stumph doing?"
39940How are you?
39940How are you?
39940How are you?
39940How can I be calm when I read such things in his face?
39940How do you do, Colonel Stelzner?
39940How do you do?
39940How does Karkowsky look?
39940How is this?
39940How long did you sit there?
39940How long have they been married?
39940How long were you there to- night?
39940How was it done?
39940How was that?
39940I beg your pardon?
39940I believe you said that he cried aloud in the library-- did you catch any words?
39940I suppose,after a moment,"that you do not have many automobiles pass through Eastbury at night?"
39940I wonder if I know who it is?
39940I wonder,said he,"how far you are from the truth?"
39940If the search for what I desire leads me to a foreign embassy, why not?
39940If you heard a slight noise in the back room while you were in the library, some time after the murder, what would you think?
39940Impossible?
39940In what direction did she go?
39940Is Mr. Warwick at home?
39940Is anything the matter?
39940Is it possible, do you think,questioned Fuller,"that anything was meant by the differing colors?"
39940Is it so surprising that this should be true?
39940Is it the Japs?
39940Is it your custom to lock up every night?
39940Is that all you heard?
39940Is that all?
39940Is there any result?
39940Is there anything new, gentlemen?
39940Is-- what?
39940It is not likely that you paid any further attention to her?
39940It is strange how things come about, is it not?
39940It was you, then, who took the scapular from me at the embassy?
39940Just what are the things which you say troubled you?
39940Members of the family?
39940No one else was in the library when you spoke to the doctor regarding the key?
39940No?
39940No?
39940No?
39940Nothing more?
39940Of course,said he, after a moment,"you have the names and biographies of the various persons attached to the foreign embassies?"
39940Perhaps he is that also-- who knows?
39940Progress was forced upon them,said he, and then with a smile, he added:"It would be strange, would it not, if they should outstrip their teachers?"
39940Quick to see-- what?
39940Rather out of the way for an all- night place, is n''t it?
39940Shall you leave any word, sir?
39940Should you have seen any one entering the library?
39940So it''s you, is it? 39940 Some sort of a test?"
39940Something has happened?
39940Tell me,said the girl, and she bent a little toward him,"have you gained your end in this case?"
39940Thank you; and you will sit there, will you not?
39940That attracted your attention, did it?
39940That is odd, is it not?
39940That? 39940 The Japanese?"
39940The feeling which you have spoken of as existing between old Nanon and her employer is rather queer, is n''t it?
39940The man?
39940The murder?
39940The murderer?
39940The old boy seems somewhat miffed,whispered Pendleton to Fuller;"I wonder what''s wrong?"
39940The two Japanese now, which of the ladies attracts them-- the English or the French?
39940Then you do not believe what she told you upon the various occasions when you talked to her?
39940Then you do not think it will explain all?
39940Then you have not known them long?
39940There was a girl, was there?
39940There were no firearms, then?
39940There were no visitors in the house at any time during the evening?
39940They are rather out of your line, are they not?
39940This Parlor F,he added,"does it communicate with any other room?"
39940This door,said he;"is it usually left unlocked?"
39940This is all you can say?
39940To- morrow?
39940Two, eh?
39940Two?
39940Up Berkley Street? 39940 Was it a psalmist, a prophet or a poet of our own time who so spoke?
39940Was it the heart which awoke this dim feeling of familiarity? 39940 Was there a bag?"
39940Was there a light in the hallway while you sat at the door?
39940Was there never any accompanying writing with these?
39940Was there nothing left in his room-- nothing that would indicate what his intentions were?
39940Was there nothing more that you noticed?
39940Well, Nanon,said he,"what is it now?
39940Well, and what next?
39940Well, sir,said he, inquiringly, and with a marked accent,"what can I do for you this evening?"
39940Well, what do you think it means?
39940Well, what do you think of that?
39940Well, what of him?
39940Well?
39940Well?
39940Well?
39940Well?
39940Well?
39940Well?
39940Well?
39940Well?
39940Well?
39940Were you ever handed a bulky book and were surprised to find it extremely light?
39940What about the motor cab?
39940What address did Mr. Karkowsky''s card bear?
39940What do the papers report that is new?
39940What do you see-- at a very little distance from the edge?
39940What do you see?
39940What else would you have me do?
39940What has happened?
39940What has occurred?
39940What have you found?
39940What have you heard from Burgess?
39940What is it?
39940What is it?
39940What is it?
39940What is it?
39940What is that?
39940What makes you think so?
39940What now?
39940What sort of a girl?
39940What sort of a little beast is it?
39940What trains are there?
39940What was the cause of this? 39940 What would you say if I answered-- yes?"
39940What,demanded he,"did you mean a moment ago when you spoke of my being strongly urged?"
39940What?
39940When Warwick came into the room where we were awaiting him last evening, did you notice anything in his manner?
39940When did this happen?
39940When did you first come to suspect that Nanon might have the paper?
39940When did you last see the doctor alive?
39940When the famine swept Russia a score of years ago, what people so quick to respond as our own? 39940 When the letters began arriving for the second person they ceased for Karkowsky?"
39940When will you come?
39940When you entered the library did you see any sort of firearms lying about near to his hand?
39940When you left the step and went back into the kitchen to prepare the coffee, did you close this door?
39940Where has he gone? 39940 Where is your sitting- room?"
39940Where were you when you learned that Dr. Morse was dead?
39940Where?
39940While you sat upon the step did you see or hear anything?
39940Who are you?
39940Who brought the news?
39940Who discovered the body?
39940Who else would desire information upon such a point? 39940 Who has gone?"
39940Who has not?
39940Who has not?
39940Who is it?
39940Who is that with Von Steinmetz?
39940Who is that?
39940Who sent you?
39940Who was it?
39940Who,asked the elder Pole,"is this gentleman?"
39940Why?
39940Why?
39940Will you be more explicit?
39940Will you come in?
39940Will you come into the library?
39940Will you kindly be more explicit?
39940Will you not go in?
39940Will you permit me to sit down?
39940Will you please come to the matter in hand?
39940Will you sit down?
39940Will you sit down?
39940Will you sit down?
39940With that looking me in the face, how can I? 39940 With whom?"
39940Would you mind telling me about the trouble you had with him regarding some letters?
39940Would you mind telling me how you came to do so?
39940You are quite sure of that?
39940You are quite sure that there was no message dropped across the hedge, or stuck among its branches?
39940You are sending him to the city, then?
39940You are sure of that?
39940You are sure of this?
39940You are sure?
39940You can be seen here, I suppose?
39940You carried out my instructions?
39940You did not see any one?
39940You did not see him do it?
39940You expect that she_ will_ be drawn into it?
39940You found that you were mistaken as to the guilty person?
39940You had seen that everything was fast, then?
39940You have been searching the house?
39940You have changed your plan?
39940You have found it?
39940You have never repeated the visit?
39940You have not lost sight of the Japanese?
39940You heard no shot?
39940You heard what Okiu and the other said while they were here?
39940You inquired to what points the tickets were bought?
39940You know her then?
39940You know?
39940You mean the document, or whatever it was, which was stolen by Drevenoff''s father?
39940You mean----Ashton- Kirk yawned widely and then asked:"Have you seen the morning papers?"
39940You recall what I told you?
39940You saw him?
39940You saw no one but Miss Corbin a while ago?
39940You saw no one?
39940You say Dr. Morse rang for you as you finished locking up?
39940You served in that war then? 39940 You think, then, that Dr. Morse does not know the meaning of these grotesque messages which he has been receiving?"
39940You think,he continued, after a moment,"that there were more than Okiu?"
39940You urged him that the matter was possibly one of much importance?
39940You went directly from the library to the hall door after speaking to Dr. Morse, you say?
39940You were in my uncle''s room?
39940You will not see_ him_?
39940You will undertake it then?
39940You would have us into a law court, would you?
39940You would see him?
39940Your personal regard for Dr. Morse''s possible safety is not very great, then?
39940''Have you really got it?''
39940''What number was that who just called me?''
39940A young man, wearing a number of Austrian orders, said, as he was being helped on with his coat:"Are you going on to Von Stunnenberg''s, Matsadi?
39940After a short pause he said:"There is to be something or other to- night at the house of the German ambassador, Von Stunnenberg?"
39940Am I right?"
39940And as he turned toward Fuller, that young man said, in a dubious sort of way:"What do you think of that story which the girl just now told?
39940And by whom?"
39940And did it turn out so?"
39940And do you mean to say that you did not make a search, and in doing so cut your hand upon a glass drawer knob?"
39940And have they taken him?"
39940And how do you account for the apparent ignorance of Dr. Morse as to the meaning behind this persecution of him?"
39940And if it was,"after a moment,"why did he require to be admitted to the house by a side window when he could have gone in by the front door?"
39940And if it works one way, why should it not work the other?
39940And now he said to his countryman:"And so, my friend, you have met your match at hand grasps?
39940And now that I am here,"with a squaring of his shoulders,"will you kindly be as brief as possible?"
39940And so can you wonder that_ I_ have been quick to see?"
39940And so he is back, eh?"
39940And so,"smiling to Ashton- Kirk,"you are the remarkable person of whom Mrs. Pendleton has spoken so often?
39940And then I saw you-- a friend of the family of-- was it two days''duration, or three?"
39940And this being so it was he who admitted the woman----""And the man?"
39940And who knows if she is now herself, or no?
39940And why not?
39940Any of the sort of things which you have just mentioned?"
39940Are you following me?"
39940Are you not somewhat out of your way on a murder case?"
39940As the idle one lifts the fruit to his greedy lips, do I not see the patient toiler reaching out to snatch it from him?"
39940Ashton- Kirk nodded; and as the old woman admitted them, he said:"You are not English, then?"
39940Ashton- Kirk touched the bell; almost instantly the door opened and through the darkness a voice asked:"Is that you, Drevenoff?"
39940Ashton- Kirk?"
39940Ashton- Kirk?"
39940At length he said:"Previous to the first visit of Karkowsky at Sharsdale-- Morse had never experienced any of the things of which you told me?"
39940But does the story always end so?
39940But that your acquaintance with Dr. Morse should begin last night, and that he should die to- night----""Well?"
39940But whom did he have in with him?
39940But why devote so much attention to young Warwick?
39940But,"and there was a note in her voice which was almost savage,"is it true?
39940CONCLUSION 321 Illustrations PAGE HE TOOK UP THE ENVELOPE_ Frontispiece_"WHO BROUGHT THE NEWS?"
39940Can there be any truth in it?"
39940Could it not be possible that Hoffer is interested in the English girl?"
39940Did he ask you to come?"
39940Did he do so?"
39940Did he inherit this, or did he accumulate it himself?"
39940Did he not buy two tickets for Washington?
39940Did she not get into the cab with him?
39940Did they not drive to the railway station?
39940Do n''t forget that there may be other aspects to the case?"
39940Do you mean north on Berkley?"
39940Do you mean to say that you did not steal down the front staircase, unfasten a rear window, and admit a woman?
39940Do you recall that first drawing which Warwick showed you?
39940Fuller having finished with the papers at the table now asked:"Will you need me?"
39940Has Burgess called as yet?"
39940Have I been correctly informed?"
39940Have I that, I wonder?
39940Have you forgotten the presence of that lover in Okiu''s house when you were all but trapped, and his desperate attempt upon your life?
39940Have you forgotten the talk Nanon heard between the girl and her lover on the stairs?
39940He seemed to hesitate for a space, then added in another tone:"You will express my sympathy to them?"
39940He turned toward his aide lazily and asked:"Suppose there had been two taxi- cabs instead of one that night?"
39940He was about turning away when he asked of Drevenoff:"How are you getting?"
39940I have known Japanese to admire---- Ah, Hoffer, how do you do?"
39940I trust you are well?"
39940I wonder if any one got in?"
39940If good passes between two people because they love each other, why should not evil?
39940In what way?
39940Is it a sort of general conspiracy against Dr. Morse?
39940Is it likely,"and he bent toward the other slightly,"that he would stop at one man in the crowd?"
39940Is she not here?"
39940Just what were the nature of these?"
39940May I not greet you at my house?
39940Morse?"
39940Morse?"
39940Morse?"
39940Morse?"
39940Morse?"
39940Okiu?"
39940Out again?
39940Rather close quarters for old opponents, is it not?"
39940She waited for an answer, but as none came, she went on:"You have heard that Philip Warwick and Stella Corbin were to be married?
39940The secret agent made reply; and the aide''s voice, now containing an eager note, demanded:"What''s up?"
39940The secretary knocked a narrow rim of ash from his cigar; he examined the red end carefully, and then said:"Indeed?"
39940Then I called Humadi; and when he came he said-- what was it you said, Humadi?"
39940Then after a look at his new tenant,"You will move in at once?"
39940Then another sheet caught his eye and pointing to it, he inquired:"But what is_ that_?"
39940Then taking up his cigar once more, he remarked:"Stopped there, too, did it?
39940Then to Fuller, as the latter returned, he said:"Are they ready?"
39940Then to the secret agent:"Would you mind stating your business, sir?"
39940Then turning to the young Pole, she added,"You remember my instructions?"
39940Then with intense eagerness:"It was not a man?"
39940There was a laugh at the other end; then the postman answered:"This ai n''t the police?"
39940There was a moment''s silence, then Ashton- Kirk said, quietly:"Then who did?"
39940There was a moment''s silence; then Drevenoff asked, curiously:"What happened to you?--and how did you come to this?"
39940There was a moment''s silence; then the secret agent asked:"Can you recall this other person''s name?"
39940They are not here?"
39940They broke down the door, and found----""What?"
39940They met with no harm?"
39940Warwick''s?"
39940Was it by a leap from the train while it was moving?"
39940Was it the daggers?
39940Were the notes for the book among them?"
39940What do you want?''"
39940What does he own that would excite the cupidity of persons of much power and great wealth?"
39940What is there in the doctor''s possession that you have seen, or have even heard hinted at-- that is in any way remarkable or unique?"
39940What regiment?"
39940What was this urgent thing that could not wait until morning?
39940What''s the matter with your head?"
39940When he was connected he asked:"Is that Postal Station Seven?"
39940When the connection was made, he said into the receiver:"Did I understand that you have Stelzner for to- night?"
39940Which one of the other three in the house helped him in the job?
39940Who are you?
39940Who knows but what that room swarms with things that the soul should fear?"
39940Why did he do so?
39940Why did he go?"
39940Why should Miss Corbin desire to deal with the German Embassy in a matter which she planned with Okiu?"
39940Why would not the telephone or telegraph do as well as a messenger?
39940Will you look at it?"
39940Will you sit down?"
39940Would the sergeant kindly make a private note of when he did?
39940You are on good terms with your neighbors, then?"
39940You might say: Suppose the criminal had entered the house before the time for locking up and remained concealed until he saw his opportunity?
39940You were at Sharsdale at the time, I take it?"
39940You were surprised, then?"
39940[ Illustration:"WHO BROUGHT THE NEWS?"]
39940the young man?
42333Ah, Mr. Daley, how do you do?
42333Ah, Senator, how do you do? 42333 Ah, you do?
42333All very nice, Senator, but where are the''spons''to liquidate the minutià ¦, eh? 42333 And has the present or future no happy moments?"
42333Anything, Sargent?
42333Are you alone, Sargent? 42333 Belle, do you think the ties that bind us together are lightly assumed; or has your father''s command made you regret the step you have taken?
42333Belle, what does this mean? 42333 Bloodshed?
42333But Sargent-- what does he say?
42333But have you never thought another might have desired to get me out of the way?
42333But must I be a cripple? 42333 But you do n''t look well; are you sick?
42333But yourself, George?
42333But, papa, what did I do? 42333 But, suppose he writes back to his friends-- what then?"
42333Can not some one open those doors? 42333 Darius,"quietly but feelingly spoke Mrs. Hamblin,"why have you kept us in ignorance of this?
42333Do you have confidence in him? 42333 Do you think so, George?
42333Doubt you? 42333 Foine as a top, Sinitor, and how''s yersel''?"
42333For what?
42333George Alden? 42333 George, are you a fool?"
42333Going away? 42333 H''m-- well, he is your father''s choice, he trusts him; why should n''t I?"
42333Have you any plans to suggest?
42333Have you mailed the forged letter to Alden?
42333How are you feeling now?
42333How are you, Paddy?
42333How can you kiss me,he would say,"when I have been so cruel to you?
42333How do you like your place, Sargent?
42333How will you manage to clear yourself of any complicity?
42333How would you like his place, Sargent?
42333Husband, what do you mean?
42333I am only a bank clerk,he said,"but is that reason why this man''s daughter should be injured by my society?
42333I can save you? 42333 Is he dead?"
42333Is he unkind to you, George?
42333Is the brave fellow dead?
42333Is there any possibility of my recovery?
42333Is there no way to extricate yourself?
42333Is there not a way to do what you mention?
42333Mighty well, Miller; how''s things agoin''here?
42333My crime? 42333 No?
42333Now, Paddy, how are all the boys, and how goes politics at''The Shades''?
42333Oh, why did Papa allow himself to be led into this difficulty? 42333 Sargent, what in the world possessed you to make such a charge against the Senator?
42333See here, Sargent, did n''t the Senator say he would see you provided for? 42333 See me?"
42333Set''em up, Paddy? 42333 She thinks I will marry her, does she?
42333Stand by you? 42333 Suppose he shows fight?"
42333Tell him Yes,said the Senator, and as the boy passed out, he remarked:"What the devil does he want now?"
42333Thank you; perhaps I spoke hastily just now, but answer me-- do you think I am guilty?
42333Then she will certainly return?
42333Then you will restore him to me, and when he returns you will proclaim his innocence?
42333There, how does that strike you, Senator, and how does it hit you, Rawlings?
42333To whom do you refer?
42333Unless what?
42333Unsuccessful? 42333 Well, Miller, what is it?
42333Well, Sargent, how are you?
42333Well, gentlemen, what have I done?
42333Well, have you any idea you could arrange a trap for him to fall into?
42333What can you do and when can you do it?
42333What do you call it worth? 42333 What have I done?
42333What is it, child? 42333 What is it?"
42333What is the matter, Belle?
42333What is your decision, George? 42333 What kind of a clerk does Sargent make?"
42333What shall we do for a home paper, now?
42333Where are we, Sargent? 42333 Where is the pistol, Sargent?
42333Where-- where is Belle?
42333Where?
42333Who are they, Sargent? 42333 Who is it?"
42333Why inform you of what you already know? 42333 Why, oh, why did you cross my purpose?"
42333Would you be happier were I your wife?
42333Would you be willing to take any chances to accomplish that very thing?
42333Yes; but you are agitated; what-- what is it?
42333You and George do n''t like him, eh? 42333 You must not leave me-- oh, it still seems like a dream-- but where is he?
42333You think it rather unpleasant work, eh, Sargent? 42333 _ I_ mourned as dead?"
42333About ten o''clock, Geordie asking permission to go on the lake, Belle gave consent, when Willie said:"Tan''t I do too?
42333After a general hand- shaking, Miller said:"Come, boys, what''ll it be?"
42333After embracing his wife and daughter, the latter asked:"Papa, where-- is-- is-- George?"
42333Alden cast but a glance at her, and then asked the faithful Jane:"Will you help carry her to our camp?"
42333Alden should not be allowed to longer visit my daughter, but how can it be prevented?
42333All?
42333Am I dreaming?
42333And was Cleverdale the place you fled from?"
42333Anything new?"
42333Approaching his wife, he said:"Why was I not made aware of this marriage?
42333Are the boys here?"
42333Are the boys injured?"
42333Are they saved?"
42333Are you alive?"
42333Are you ignorant of the events of the day, or is your heart turned to stone?
42333As Dr. Briar entered the apartment, George looked into his face and asked:"Doctor, is my back broken?"
42333As Miller entered one of the polling- places and met Farmer Johnson, he extended his hand and said:"Mr. Johnson, how are you to- day?"
42333As he turned and left the room, he failed to hear his daughter remark:"What would Papa say did he know I was the wife of George Alden?"
42333As they reached the auditorium, the handsome Assemblyman offered his arm, saying:"Miss Hamblin, may I have the honor of accompanying you home?"
42333Belle gazed after him for an instant, and wildly throwing up her hands, exclaimed:"What have I done, oh, what have I done to merit this?"
42333Belle joined Fannie in an adjoining room; the latter said:"Dear Belle, you are a precious girl-- but what will your parents say?"
42333Belle went directly to her mother, who said:"What is it, Belle?
42333But can I do otherwise than try to prevent the crash that would ruin me and disgrace those dependent upon me?
42333But could he gain the iron door, at least three hundred feet onward, and up another flight of stairs?
42333But how can I raise the money-- that is, who-- will-- lend-- it-- to-- me?
42333But how can you help it?
42333But near the hour of noon, he opened his eyes, exclaiming:"Where is the key?
42333But shall I go to pieces financially?
42333But supposing the ex- cashier should walk in some day, with papers and documents, to say nothing of his face, to prove he is not dead?
42333But the body in yonder cemetery-- what can you tell us about that?"
42333But what is manliness, honor, or love to you?
42333But where was the brave fellow?
42333But who are the villains who have done this?
42333But, how came you here?"
42333By the way!--as Sargent is doctoring the books, why should n''t he make the deficit fifty thousand, which I need, instead of five thousand?
42333By the way, Paddy, are the boys all right?
42333Ca n''t you postpone your departure?"
42333Ca n''t you sleep for a while?
42333Can I enlist you in a cause that interests me deeply, if it will also be of great advantage to you?"
42333Can he be sick?
42333Can you meet Rawlings, Horton, and myself at Saratoga Saturday night?
42333Can you take hold of both hooks?
42333Choking spasmodically for a moment, she regained her feet, and replied:"Marry him?
42333Come along; who will go with me?
42333Come, Paddy, set''em up again-- what''ll y''''ave, boys?
42333Confess what?
42333D''ye hear?"
42333D''ye hear?"
42333DEAR SENATOR: I will be at your house at 7 P.M. Will you be at home?
42333Dead?
42333Did I-- did I save them?"
42333Did n''t expect to see me to- day, eh?"
42333Did n''t he save Willie''s life?
42333Did you make any arrangement with him, Senator?"
42333Do you feel better?"
42333Do you know your praises are being sung far and near?"
42333Do you mean to insinuate I''d sell my vote-- me, a farmer who can buy the best farm in this''ere county?
42333Do you remember it?"
42333Do you suppose I will allow my child to throw herself away upon a common bank clerk?
42333Do you understand?"
42333Eh, Miller?"
42333Eh, Rawlings?"
42333Eh?
42333Eh?
42333Entering the bank, Sargent said to him:"By present indications our cashier will step out without our aid, eh?"
42333Fannie Alden supports herself, and why can not I?"
42333For what?
42333Gentlemen, who will be your presiding officer?"
42333George Alden hearing her sigh looked into her face, and said:"Why are you sad?"
42333Gradually strength returning, she gently lifted her head, opened her eyes, and said:"Where am I?
42333Had I married him?
42333Have I your promise?"
42333Have n''t you a clerk in the bank you can enlist to help you?"
42333Have you any ideas on the subject?"
42333He had just written a letter to Mannis, containing the following lines:"When shall I see you?
42333He walked to and fro several times, and then, halting before his wife, asked:"What do you mean?
42333He was astonished; what politician would not have been?
42333His daughter, engaged bathing his temples, said:"Oh, Papa, do you wish to leave us?"
42333His election is an assured fact, and can you, a young man, afford to go down with the wreck?
42333How are you, Horton?"
42333How can I free myself from myself?
42333How dare that fellow pollute your lips with a kiss?"
42333How do you like your new place?"
42333How many of the laborers at the mill can you pull for me?
42333How would Hamblin Guards sound?
42333How would you like that, my impatient prisoner?"
42333How''s things in Cleverdale?
42333How?"
42333I can not bear to open them, but must do so, for how else can I know his destination?"
42333I do n''t just like this job; but virtue will have its reward, and such patterns as you and I will not be forgotten, eh?"
42333I have much real estate-- enough, in fact, if advantageously disposed of, to relieve me; but what will a forced sale return?
42333I must get rid of her some way; but how?
42333I wants to wide with Geordie-- may I do?"
42333I wonder, though, if some day the Senator wo n''t put somebody up to crushing me in the same way?"
42333If I accede to your demand now, will this be the last?
42333If he should repent, what would you and I do?"
42333If the people of Cleverdale, who loved him so, knew that I was his murderer, think you they would spare me?"
42333If this is earth, what must hell be?
42333If you get a thousand- dollar position, that will fix you-- eh, old fellow?"
42333In a few moments Mrs. Culver entered, and said:"What do you wish, sir?"
42333In a few moments the efforts at restoration were successful; Belle opened her eyes, and said:"Was it a dream?"
42333In fact, does not the imperative duty devolve upon a parent of making provision in life for his loved ones?
42333Is he a man you can safely trust?"
42333Is n''t my word law in my own family?
42333Is not a man justified in guiding the destiny of those belonging to him?
42333Is that so?"
42333Is the storm over?
42333Is there no other way to avert the calamity awaiting Papa?"
42333Light fresh cigars, gentlemen; by the by, Rawlings, did you ever visit Lake George?"
42333Look here-- is that written by any other hand than your own?"
42333Many sad faces gathered about the ruins, and with trembling voices asked:"What will become of our wives and little ones?"
42333Miller''s words made a deep impression on Sargent, who rested his head on his hand a moment and then replied:"But how can I recall the words?
42333Miller, what is your opinion of my chance for renomination?
42333Mrs. Nash, what do you mean?"
42333Must I perish?
42333My God, Belle, what do you mean?"
42333My plan is this: Sargent, you say, will do anything you desire: well, is he a good penman, and can he imitate handwriting?"
42333No?
42333Nothing new, eh?"
42333Now I do n''t want to be mean or go back on a bargain, but had n''t you better see the two thousand dollars?
42333Now how can we get rid of him?
42333Oh, George, is there not some way to inform her of our safety?
42333Oh, George, my husband, is it indeed you?"
42333Oh, why did I escape?"
42333Oh, why did I run away like a thief?"
42333Pardon me, but have you been ill?"
42333Place a trap for him, do you understand?
42333Reader, did you ever visit your State Capitol at the organization of the Legislature, and see the scramble for spoils?
42333Reader, have you ever participated in a camp dinner?
42333Rising quickly, with excited voice she asked:"And-- and where is he?"
42333See here, Horton, what can you suggest?
42333See that party on the little island-- isn''t it a funny sight?
42333Shake hands wid yees, is it?
42333Shall we meet soon?"
42333She is deeply interested in Alden, but what of that?
42333Shortly afterward Belle came near him, and said:"Papa, wo n''t you stay home this evening?
42333Soon the Senator opened his eyes, and seeing the women bending over him, he said:"Why, why did you do this?
42333Still, what lover has ever lacked hope in proportion to what was to be hoped against?
42333Suddenly Mrs. Nash arose excitedly, and asked:"What is your rightful name?"
42333Tell me quick: is he better?"
42333The frantic girl saw the waves go headlong over the rock, submerging the faithful nurse nearly to the waist, but how dare she approach them?
42333The teller entering the president''s private office, the latter said:"Have you thought over the matter we discussed the night before the fire?"
42333The waiter soon returned, and Alden said:"Can you direct me to an inexpensive, respectable private boarding- house, where I can find comfort?
42333The young men became lions at once, for were they not owners of a bonanza?
42333Then she arose and, turning to George, said:"Can we go to our mother now?
42333There, how is that?
42333They prate of honesty and rob a man by their disgraceful blackmailing and-- But how could politicians get along if it were n''t for such rascals?"
42333This fellow looks pretty fine in borrowed clothes, eh, Mannis?"
42333Two hours later the young wife returned, and perceiving the happy look upon Fannie''s face, said:"What is it?
42333Well, who_ is_ to be trusted?"
42333What can I do?
42333What conspiracy is this?"
42333What has happened?"
42333What have I done to deserve it?
42333What is Daley about, and does he intend to make us trouble?"
42333What is the latest, Sargent?"
42333What say you?
42333What say you?"
42333What shall I do about payments?"
42333What shall I do?
42333What shall I do?
42333What shall we do to force Daley from the course?
42333What shall we do?"
42333What should I do, a helpless person entirely dependent upon those I love?
42333What would the world say were I to become bankrupt?"
42333When the news reached Sargent, he exclaimed,"Alden returned?
42333When will bloodshed be added?"
42333Where are Jane and the boys?
42333Where are they from?"
42333Where in the world did you drop from?"
42333Where is this hallway, Jones?"
42333Why did n''t the fellow keep away from Cleverdale?
42333Why did papa engage that Sargent as bank clerk?
42333Why have I allowed Belle to attend him during his illness?
42333Why is it?"
42333Why should we have any hearts at all?"
42333Why, man, what are you thinking about?"
42333Will any man vote the bread and butter from the mouths of his wife and children?
42333Will it buy bread?
42333Will it obtain station and fame?
42333Will you consent?"
42333Will you stand by me in this matter, Sargent?
42333With my credit good, I can raise plenty of money, but how can I repay it?
42333Wonder what has become of Mannis?
42333Wonder where Alden is now?
42333Yet, is n''t it better to save myself and my reputation than allow this opportunity to pass?
42333You must have something to say on the subject?"
42333You still mean to get rid of him?"
42333are you going away?
42333asked Rawlings;"ca n''t a thoroughbred citizen call in here without being insulted?
42333eh?
42333he said one day,"during all my sickness and suffering, I have passed many happy hours; will it always last?"
42333he would exclaim,"what have I done to gratify my ambition?
42333how can I strike this blow at her heart?"
42333how he will shake in his boots when Sargent and I get through with our part of this affair-- and wo n''t all Cleverdale be excited?
42333is anything wrong to- night?"
42333is that haggard- looking face mine?
42333ole man, how''s that fer a thurrerbred?"
42333what am I about to do?
42333what can be done?"
42333what do I care for that?
42333what do you mean?
42333what is honor?
42333what''s that?
42333where am I?"
42333who cares for that?
42333who goes?"
42333why, what do you mean?
42333why?"
42333wid sich a dirty traither as yees?
42333would n''t he make Rome howl if he knew what we were doing?
42333would n''t there be a nice old time in Cleverdale?
42333yes?
41459And, further, who was the woman whom he had referred to as` her''?
41459Anything more, sir?
41459Are n''t you feeling well, Sir Raife?
41459Are you speaking the truth?
41459Are you staying in Southport long?
41459But my father?
41459But what does this all mean, Edgson?
41459Ca n''t you come, Master Raife?
41459Ca n''t you tell me anything? 41459 Did he; and have you mentioned it to anyone, else?"
41459Do you know it, too? 41459 Do you live here?"
41459Do you? 41459 Does it concern Mr Denoir?"
41459Engaged, I suppose-- and fear tittle- tattle-- eh?
41459Excuse me, Sir Raife--Raife was worried and said, rather impatiently:"Yes, Edgson,"then smiling a forced smile, added:"What is it this time?"
41459Have they searched him?
41459Have you bungled again?
41459Have you got the keys? 41459 Have you so very much to do-- and is my society so terribly boring?"
41459Her friend is n''t half bad- looking, either?
41459Home? 41459 How did you get this, Twisegood?"
41459How do you know?
41459I fancy you know the guv''nor-- eh?
41459I think that''s rather amusing, do n''t you?
41459I wonder if there was a recognition? 41459 I wonder where they''re going?"
41459I wonder who she can be, Teddy?
41459Is Detective- inspector Herrion there?
41459Is Lady Remington there?
41459Is that the popular opinion?
41459Is there anything I can get for you, sir?
41459It''s a complete mystery then?
41459May I call on you in the morning, sir?
41459May I go, sir?
41459Mother, why are the church bells ringing? 41459 Mr Remington, may I have the privilege of mixing for you an American cocktail?"
41459My poor mother does not know-- eh?
41459Not well? 41459 Nothing concerning any lady?"
41459Of what?
41459Perhaps Edgson knows something?
41459Perhaps-- who knows?
41459Tell him to be careful-- to be wary of-- the trap?
41459Tell me, what has happened?
41459Then my father was still conscious?
41459Then what do you surmise regarding` the trap,''about which my father left me this inexplicable message?
41459Then why can not we meet? 41459 We must never meet again after to- day-- never?"
41459Well, Twisegood, how are you, and what''s the news?
41459Well, now, father,said Hilda, laughingly,"I wonder what Mr Remington will apologise for next?"
41459What about it?
41459What are the church bells ringing for, Edgson?
41459What did he mean, Edgson? 41459 What did he tell him?"
41459What do I care?
41459What is it?
41459What sort of jewellery?
41459What was he like?
41459What were we chasing that fellow last night for? 41459 What''s happened, Edgson?"
41459What''s the matter, Gilda?
41459What''s the matter? 41459 Where do you generally live?"
41459Where is my mother, Edgson?
41459Who lives in this flat?
41459Who was the Apache fellow? 41459 Why should he have left me that warning message?
41459Why,he exclaimed,"what are you doing here, Mutimer?"
41459Why? 41459 Will you see me again?
41459Yes, Twisegood, have you got any of Mrs Twisegood''s home- made wines left?
41459You had no inkling of any secret, Edgson?
41459You here?
41459You mean that you will not betray my dead father''s confidence?
41459You were listening to our talk outside,he said to the man, and turning to the manager, asked:"Do you know this man, signor?
41459Your father knew the assassin?
41459After some minutes of such contemplation Hilda remarked to him"Raife, tell me what is a woman- hater?"
41459And what was the meaning of that lapse-- the omission of the title in speaking before her uncle?
41459Any news?
41459Are you aware that my father held a secret-- some secret of the past?"
41459At her uncle''s enforced bidding?
41459Before I give you in charge of the police you can tell me, if you will, why you borrowed my keys at the Hotel Royal, at Nice?"
41459But had not Gilda told him that he was killed in the motor smash outside Cuneo?
41459But perhaps you''d like to see the master''s murderer?
41459But, then, who was this uncle, Doctor Malsano?
41459Ca n''t you give me an inkling of what''s the matter?"
41459Come, my dear fellow, what''s it all about?"
41459Come, tell me what is the meaning of this?"
41459Continuing, she added:"Did you see the body of the murderer?"
41459Could it be an accident or was it design?
41459Could it be possible?
41459Could such happiness last?
41459Did that man Herrion upset you?"
41459Did they spell disaster?
41459Do you happen to know him?"
41459Do you know Fontainebleau?"
41459Do you know the picturesque little hotel there, and its al- fresco cafe-- the garden with all the little summer- houses?"
41459Do you live here?"
41459Do you mind?
41459Follow you?
41459Gilda appeared positively radiant on this bright, sunny morning, and her soft, pleasing voice thrilled him as she said:"Did you get the keys back?
41459Had he lived-- escaped to remain an agent for evil in this world-- a further or continued source of trouble to the sadly stricken girl?
41459Had he recognised her yet?
41459Had she heard him talking to himself that night on the balcony?
41459Had she returned and recaptured her lost fancy?
41459Has anything real serious happened?"
41459Has he been long in the service of the hotel?"
41459Have you got them?"
41459Have you got them?"
41459Have you the Baroness von Sassniltz staying in your hotel?"
41459He had no doubt that she would consent to suicide, but why should he consult her in the matter?
41459He handed his card to Mr Muirhead, and, turning to Hilda, said:"May I present you with one also, Miss Muirhead?"
41459He took a deep draught of the cider, and added:"What''s the news up at the Park?
41459He was murdered, was n''t he?
41459Her buxom, beaming- faced landlady entered and asked the young` mees''the signorina,"Would she like an automobile ride in the beautiful evening time?
41459Her rather"exalted"tones sounded from without:"Is this the room, Twisegood?"
41459Herrion stared hard at her, saying:"So, Monsieur Vachelle is a gentleman, is he, and you are only a servant?"
41459Herrion, what''s the meaning of this?
41459Herrion-- Inspector-- what''s the meaning of this?"
41459Hilda asked:"Why did n''t he tell us he was a baronet?"
41459Hilda, in astonished tones, exclaimed:"What''s that?
41459His mood remained determined, and he almost snarled:"Going?
41459How could she get rid of that hated Apache man seated behind?
41459How could she give them the slip at Cuneo?
41459How could she leave Bordighera without being discovered by Raife or his mother?
41459How did he get here?"
41459How did she know?"
41459How shall I dispose of him?
41459I do for''ee?"
41459I hazard the suggestion that we should address you as` Sir Raife,''Is that correct?"
41459I thought that was your part of the marriage contract, Hilda?
41459I wonder if he could call?"
41459I wonder if the will reveals anything?"
41459I wonder who this blackguardly individual is?"
41459If she could induce them to"fetch"Cuneo, how should she give them the slip?
41459If so, how soon may I call you just` Raife''only?"
41459If so, why?
41459In a stifled, sepulchral voice he demanded:"Have you got them-- the keys?"
41459In hurried accents he gasped:"Are they here, or have they gone?
41459In sharp tones, that were unfamiliar to the old servant, he rasped out:"Where is Miss Muirhead?"
41459In the battle of his life would the good or evil genius win?
41459Instead, he drawled:"Are there any more?"
41459Is it concerning money matters?"
41459Is that you, Sir Raife?
41459Is this womanhood-- the womanhood that I-- I had loved?"
41459It was something about a` trap,''and there was a woman in it, was n''t there?"
41459It''s a fine old Tudor place near Tunbridge Wells, is n''t it?"
41459Just trust me,"and, with a soft tremor in her tones, she added:"Will you be my friend?"
41459Lady Remington presently said, graciously:"Hilda, you have had a long and trying day; perhaps you would like to retire early?"
41459Lady Remington was alarmed at her son''s agitation, and endeavoured to pacify him, saying:"Raife, what''s the matter with you?
41459Let me see, Isis was a goddess, was n''t she?
41459Master Raife?
41459May I ask, I do not press the question, which may even appear impertinent-- may I ask, was it-- er-- was it an accident?"
41459May I go now?"
41459Miss Tempest is a beautiful girl, my dear, but are you sure she is the right kind of girl for a Remington to associate with?"
41459Mr Caldwell, will you please telephone to a printer''s somewhere near for a little printing- ink?"
41459Mr Muirhead remarked:"I hope your injury is not serious, sir?"
41459Murdered by some blackguard of a burglar?"
41459Nice is charming, is n''t it, and so full of smart people?
41459None-- eh?"
41459Of what nature is the pitfall?"
41459Or would you rather have some of her sloe gin?
41459Or, what do I care?"
41459Packing up?
41459Perhaps you''ve met him somewhere?
41459Queer- looking thing for a burglar to wear, is n''t it?"
41459Raife cut him short, saying:"Yes, I know, where is it?"
41459Raife kissed her again and again, and through the kisses said:"How do you know she likes you?"
41459Raife spoke harshly:"What do you want?
41459Raife''s meeting with his mother was affectionate, and tears were in her eyes as she asked:"Have you brought her, Raife?"
41459Remington, will you excuse me?
41459Ringing for me?
41459Rob another of what?
41459Shall we drink some champagne to- night?"
41459Shall we walk towards the hotel?"
41459She did realise that she had treated him badly, but why had he followed and discovered her?
41459She is staying, I understand, at the same hotel with us?"
41459She''s uncommonly smart, is n''t she?"
41459She''s your` fyancee,''is n''t she, sir?
41459Should he ever meet her again?
41459Should she put an end to her perplexities by a short, sharp road to death?
41459Slowly, and with the aggravated drawl of the period, he said:"By what right do you make that request?"
41459Tally ho?"
41459Tell me some of the worst of this man Malsano''s crimes?"
41459The trouble entered his mind again and he soliloquised:"Was he being shadowed?
41459Then Gilda asked,"Was he well- dressed, then?"
41459Then he read the notice and asked:"Where did you get that notice from?"
41459Then to Hilda he said:"Are you ready, my dear; shall dinner be served?"
41459Then with an impatient gesture he muttered:"What''s the matter with you, Raife Remington?
41459Then, archly, Hilda said:"Then I need not run away?"
41459Then, as the cloud gradually removed from his stern countenance, she continued, pleadingly:"What have I done, Raife?
41459Then, clutching her head with her hands, she sank on to a lounge and sobbed violently, exclaiming:"What have I done to deserve this?
41459Then, presently, speaking to himself, he said:"I wonder who he is?
41459They call him a Scarlet Pimpernel, do n''t they?
41459They entered the taxi, and in response to the driver''s query,"Where shall I drive, monsieur?"
41459This leads into the loose box, does n''t it?
41459To change the subject and gain an excuse for time, he added:"By the by, shall we spend a few days at Bordighera before returning to Aldborough?"
41459To what do I owe the honour?"
41459To what further depths was he descending?
41459Vous voulez attendre, monsieur?"
41459WHO WAS THE APACHE?
41459Was he a secret agent of Doctor Malsano?
41459Was it her fancy that the paper had just been placed there, or had it lain there a long time?
41459Was it only that stupid talk about Mr Brookman''s American voice?
41459Was it possible-- could it be that infernal Apache fellow?
41459Was she the woman with the white shawl whom he caught a glimpse of on the balcony beneath?
41459Was there no rest from this vigilant spectre who traced him everywhere?
41459Was this girl telling the whole truth, or only a portion?
41459We''ve had some fun in this old room when we were kids, have n''t we?
41459Were English husbands like American husbands?
41459What are they ringing for me for?"
41459What brings her here?
41459What can I do to help the likes o''you?
41459What can have been the cryptic contents?
41459What can it be?"
41459What could have happened, and to whom?
41459What could his father fear?
41459What did all this mystery mean?
41459What did he mean about being careful of the trap?"
41459What did it mean?
41459What do you think was the nature of the secret?
41459What does he want?
41459What does it matter?
41459What fresh devilment was this master of crime at?
41459What had his dead father meant by those dying words uttered to old Edgson?
41459What is it?"
41459What is that?
41459What is the reason of your distress?"
41459What is this unfathomable mystery?"
41459What message did he leave for me?"
41459What prevents it?"
41459What ruse had been adopted to lure him away?
41459What shall I read?"
41459What trap?
41459What trap?
41459What was he doing there?
41459What was her name, Hilda?"
41459What was honour to him now?
41459What was the curse that at every turn blighted his fondest hopes?
41459What was the meaning of the note you left for me at the` Queen''s,''Southport?
41459What was the nature of the dead man''s secret?
41459What was there more of mystery remaining?
41459What was this evil genius that haunted him?
41459What was this fresh mystery?
41459What would be the outcome of this hotbed of mystery?
41459What''s in the pockets?
41459What''s it all about?
41459What''s that American fellow doing here?
41459What''s that?
41459What''s the matter?"
41459What, he wondered, was the mysterious motive of her refusal to see him again?
41459When do you want the room, sir?"
41459When he appeared, Raife demanded:"Where is Mr Brookman?"
41459When he approached she whispered:"What is the number of your room?
41459Where also was the dreaded H of S Y?
41459Where are they?
41459Where are you going?"
41459Where do you live?"
41459Where had he met that perfume before?
41459Where is he?
41459Where is she?"
41459Where shall we go?
41459Where shall we go?"
41459Where should she go?
41459Where was Raife?
41459Where was he trending?
41459Where was that Apache man, and had he survived?
41459Where was the Apache man?
41459Who am I speaking to?
41459Who has been visiting Monsieur Vachelle?
41459Who is he?
41459Who is speaking?"
41459Who is that woman?
41459Who knows?"
41459Who was that woman and what was the trap?
41459Who was the person, apparently an Apache, or from the Latin quarter of Paris, who sprang from nowhere and disappeared into space?
41459Who was the woman to whom he had referred a few moments before he expired?
41459Who was this mysterious figure, and where had they met before?"
41459Who would shake him by the hand now?
41459Why could not happiness last?
41459Why did he wish to warn me of a trap?
41459Why did she disguise the note?
41459Why did the guv''nor admit that he had been a fool?
41459Why did you snub me this afternoon?
41459Why did you try to save me?
41459Why do n''t they go away?
41459Why do you ask?"
41459Why do you come here?"
41459Why does he shadow me?"
41459Why had this beautiful young girl come into his life at such a tragic time?
41459Why is he here?
41459Why must she rob me of the only hope I had in life?"
41459Why should he be persistently pursued by a malevolent fate?
41459Why should he seek to forewarn me of some mysterious trap?"
41459Why should he tell me?
41459Why should n''t they?
41459Why should she be fascinated by this gruesome relic of his father''s murder?
41459Why was the progress of their strange courtship to be jarred by a series of uncanny surprises?
41459Why, oh why, had his mother chosen this room in which to receive his beloved Hilda-- his fiancee?
41459Why?
41459Why?"
41459Will you allow me to talk to you somewhere, and explain matters to you?
41459Will you be my friend?"
41459Will you be my wife?
41459Will you come with me to the Avenue des Champs Elysees?"
41459Will you give me the number of your telephone?
41459Will you present our regrets and apologies to Lady Remington?"
41459Will you steer me to a better, a more useful life?"
41459Will you wait, sir?"
41459Will you, Sir Raife, lend your keys for the occasion?"
41459With a gesture of impatience, that expressed thwarted opportunity, he said:"Who is that fellow, Gilda?
41459Wo n''t you take a seat at our table?
41459Would an ideal lover make an ideal husband?
41459Would it be allowed to heal for ever, or would the malignant curse of the long years ago enter into her young life also?
41459Would she ever be to him more than a fascinating acquaintance?
41459Would that woman enter into his life again and destroy their happiness?
41459Would there be any further rifts in the lute, or was there to be perfect peace after this ill- considered hurricane of jealousy?
41459Would this one last?
41459Yes, but how true was that story?
41459You are going to help me, are n''t you, Hilda?"
41459You are sure you do n''t mind?"
41459You have wired to them, you say?"
41459You quite understand, do n''t you, Sir Raife?"
41459how do you do it?"
41459or have you altered the stalls lately?"
41459where are they?
41459you have not got them?
32985A definite answer? 32985 A suggestion?"
32985Afraid to trust me with fire, eh? 32985 After Dr. Meredith came into the case the patient began to improve, did she not?"
32985Also that she was addicted to morphine?
32985An''ef you an''t stealin''that strap, I''d like to know what you''re doin'', takin''it outen the barn, before it''s sold?
32985An''t he? 32985 An''why not, I''d like to know?
32985And Dr. Meredith, although a specialist, has had less experience than you, has he not?
32985And are so still?
32985And did you think me dead, Cara mia?
32985And enter it?
32985And is its action affected by disease?
32985And my daughter?
32985And now, do you love him as well now?
32985And that if not refuted, this testimony almost alone, would tend towards a conviction?
32985And that is----?
32985And that is?
32985And these good authorities claim that morphine, administered to one who has Bright''s disease, might accumulate until a poisonous dose were present?
32985And these signs are indicative of opium poisoning?
32985And this syringe incident occurred at eight o''clock?
32985And this young gentleman is to be he?
32985And to the accused?
32985And who am I?
32985And would these same symptoms occur in any other form of death, except from morphine poisoning?
32985And yet in this case you found morphine in the stomach?
32985And you claim to have done this?
32985And you considered Dr. Meredith such a man?
32985Any other disease?
32985Are you glad or sorry?
32985Are you in earnest, Leon, or are you merely carried away by an emotion, aroused by something which I have said?
32985Are you in pain?
32985Are you tired now of sleeping?
32985As a matter of fact, when did you return?
32985As skilful as you are yourself?
32985As you insist upon going back to that old case, let me ask you how you can suppose that I induced the disease at that time?
32985At what hour did Miss Sloane die?
32985Between the time of your return from Europe, and this attack of diphtheria, do you know whether your wife took any morphine?
32985But Doctor, how can I remain?
32985But I thought that Judge Dudley was your warm friend?
32985But I? 32985 But are you ready to go right out into the world, single handed?
32985But before the time which you specify, you did not know him?
32985But if I give you a command now when you are asleep, you will obey it when I allow you to awaken?
32985But if not? 32985 But if she had grown worse, if the false membrane had increased, would she not have had greater difficulty in swallowing?"
32985But morphine is a form of opium, is it not?
32985But suppose she were to die a natural death? 32985 But who are you?
32985But why did you not come here two days ago?
32985But you are certain that she had Bright''s disease?
32985But you judged that this girl died of diphtheria from your experience with such cases, is that it?
32985But you sacrifice yourself, merely to test an experiment? 32985 By good authorities?"
32985Can you state how long ago?
32985Can you state what disease existed?
32985Can you state whether this coma had been produced by a poisonous dose of morphine?
32985Can you tell how your wife obtained possession of the hypodermic syringe, and the morphine?
32985Cora,demanded the Doctor,"how dared you commit such a hideous crime?
32985Dared? 32985 Did Dr. Medjora call during the afternoon, or evening?"
32985Did he arrive before she died?
32985Did he know that you had seen him?
32985Did he pay you?
32985Did you and your wife live together after marriage?
32985Did you do so?
32985Did you find it in poisonous quantities?
32985Did you go at once to your patient''s room?
32985Did you interfere?
32985Did you leave the room again during that time?
32985Did you not consider it wrong to leave your patient?
32985Did you observe any of these symptoms in Miss Sloane?
32985Did you remain with your patient throughout his visit?
32985Did you see any evidence of that drug exhibited by her condition, lethargic sleep, contracted pupils, or any other diagnostic symptom?
32985Did you see them?
32985Did you suggest to him that the patient was dying of poison?
32985Did you tell Dr. Medjora that you had seen him administer the morphine?
32985Did you, at any time during this illness, prescribe or administer opium in any form?
32985Do I love him?
32985Do I? 32985 Do n''t you understand that this is a confidential conversation?
32985Do you admit that you behaved very badly?
32985Do you deny it?
32985Do you doubt it? 32985 Do you know how much morphine she took at that time?"
32985Do you know how you came here?
32985Do you know where you are?
32985Do you know who you are? 32985 Do you love any one, so that you would marry him?"
32985Do you mean that South America was once wider?
32985Do you mean that crime is produced by bacteria? 32985 Do you mean that some animals can resist the attacks of bacteria?"
32985Do you mean that you will assist me?
32985Do you mean to murder me?
32985Do you never read novels?
32985Do you not hear me? 32985 Do you not know?"
32985Do you really mean that you accomplished that almost incredible miracle?
32985Do you see any other person?
32985Do you wish them?
32985Do you wish to awaken?
32985Do you wish to drink?
32985Do you wish to know?
32985Do you?
32985Doctor Medjora,he exclaimed,"what has happened?
32985Does it sadden you to think that way?
32985Does this morning''s paper give the result of the post- mortem?
32985Dr. McDougal,said he,"did you examine the kidneys?"
32985Dr. Medjora,he began,"will you please state what relation you bore to the deceased, Miss Mabel Sloane?"
32985Ef''tain''t wuth nothin'', I''d have you tell me what you''re takin''it for?
32985Even you are liable to make a mistake, eh?
32985Everything else you have forgotten? 32985 Finally, you will forget that you have been asleep?"
32985Fishing, I suppose?
32985Forever?
32985From all this, then, I am to believe that the story of the Flood is true in the main? 32985 From what disease was she suffering?"
32985From what you observed, Doctor,said he,"are you prepared to assign a cause of death?"
32985Had you not had a controversy with him upon a professional point?
32985Have the scientists been able to account for these phenomena?
32985Have you heard anything which has made you alter your opinion?
32985Have you thought of it at all, as possible?
32985He is usually a man who has special knowledge, is he not?
32985He left the car, and you followed him to a house and saw him enter?
32985He took a car, and you took another?
32985How are they connected? 32985 How can you remain?
32985How could you tell it was morphine?
32985How did it occur?
32985How did you know that?
32985How do you know that this case is yours?
32985How do you know that?
32985How long a time would be required to eliminate it from that organ?
32985How long before the attack of diphtheria was this?
32985How long had you been married, at this time?
32985How long has it been out of your possession?
32985How much for the dog?
32985How much?
32985How small?
32985How soon after you saw her, did you suspect that she had been poisoned?
32985How soon after your return did you learn that he had been too attentive to your wife?
32985How was it that at that place she passed as a single woman?
32985How was the pulse?
32985How were the pupils of the eyes? 32985 How were you called in to the case?"
32985How will you escape? 32985 How?
32985I am your master?
32985I dare to tell you? 32985 I have not the right?
32985I hope that the late hour at which you retired last night did not interfere with your rest?
32985I hope you have not been disappointed?
32985I think you said that this occurred at half- past eight o''clock?
32985I wish you then to tell me whether you are in love with Agnes Dudley?
32985I wonder why I am such a fool as to marry you?
32985I wonder, Lossy, how you will do in a great city? 32985 If I let you go from here, what will you do?"
32985If you did not make any injections, as you have testified that you did not, how is it that you could have left this at the house?
32985If you do not think we are capable, why have you come to us?
32985If, because of kidney disease, morphine were retained in the system, where would you look for it after death?
32985In fact you concluded that she would recover?
32985In such a case where would the morphine be chiefly found after death, by chemical analysis?
32985In what condition did you find them to be?
32985In what position was Miss Sloane when you saw the Doctor leaning over her?
32985In what way do you need him?
32985In your opinion then, your wife died from the accumulation of morphine, all of which was self- administered?
32985In your opinion, what caused the death of Miss Sloane?
32985Indeed, and may I ask what use you intend to make of them?
32985Is Dr. Fisher a skilful man?
32985Is that a normal condition?
32985Is this it?
32985It is understood, your Honor,said Mr. Dudley,"that we take exception to this whole line of examination?"
32985It was you who sent the nurse away, I believe?
32985Judging honestly?
32985Leon Grath?
32985Leon,said the Doctor, after a slight pause,"I believe that I have your confidence and trust?"
32985May I ask what they were?
32985Might she not have died of this?
32985Miss Conlin,he began,"who engaged you to attend Miss Sloane?"
32985Miss Dudley?
32985Morbid? 32985 My name?"
32985My safety?
32985Mysterious subject? 32985 Nevertheless, you have not thought of loving her?"
32985No? 32985 Not even for an instant?"
32985Not even if, as the newspapers claim, she had a child?
32985Not even to get the coffee which Dr. Meredith had ordered?
32985Not even when you found that he had been called in to attend Miss Sloane? 32985 Not married?
32985Now, if I ask you a few questions, will you answer me truthfully?
32985Now, then, I believe that you called Dr. Meredith into the case?
32985Of what did she die?
32985One sixth of a grain has proven fatal, and, from what you found, you conclude that three grains had been given to this woman?
32985Or else?
32985Please count the tablets remaining, and state how many there are?
32985Please explain what the symptoms of morphine poisoning are?
32985Poison? 32985 Poor doggy,"said the lad;"you know that I''m in trouble, do n''t you, old boy?"
32985Professor,said he,"from your examination of this body can you tell us whether or not the deceased had been a mother?"
32985Professor,said the Recorder,"can you not state what was the minimum quantity which must have been administered, judged by what you found?"
32985Prove it?
32985Providence?
32985Robert, why did you start to leave the room?
32985Sanatoxine?
32985Seems so? 32985 She told you what?"
32985Should we wish to communicate with you, where may we be able to find you, Doctor?
32985So much so that she could swallow without difficulty?
32985So much so that you would not have suspected that he wished her any harm, would you?
32985So that the slow pulse would not necessarily indicate poison?
32985So that there was sufficient morphine solution left in the syringe, to have enabled Miss Conlin to taste it, as she claims to have done?
32985So that to be there, it must have been administered within two days, and could not have been there as a result of accumulation beyond that time?
32985So that you would say that this coma, did not specifically indicate morphine poisoning?
32985So this is certainly yours?
32985So whilst you two doctors argued, the patient died?
32985So you have found letters? 32985 Stealin'', Miss Grath?
32985Such a thing could not have occurred without your knowledge?
32985Supposing that she had been taking morphine prior to that time, do you think that it might have accumulated in her system, finally producing death?
32985Tell me, what do you remember?
32985That is to say thirty- two pellets have been taken out?
32985That is to say, he had more knowledge of this disease than you yourself?
32985That is to say, she must have had three grains, or more?
32985That is to say, you found yourself incompetent to control the disease?
32985That is, half an hour before you expected to be interrupted by the return of the nurse?
32985That she had Bright''s disease?
32985The Elixir of Life? 32985 The germ theory of crime?"
32985The membrane had all disappeared, had it not?
32985Then as far as you know, your wife did not take any morphine on the day of her death?
32985Then at least you admit that a dose, a large dose, was taken by the deceased in your presence, on the day of her death?
32985Then from these facts do you think that she died of opium poisoning?
32985Then he was her child?
32985Then how do you purpose evading the law?
32985Then if the chemical analysis shows the actual presence of opium, would you say that this patient died of opium poisoning?
32985Then in your dream you imagined that you saw that wonderful place?
32985Then it is a fact? 32985 Then of course you saw no symptoms of Bright''s disease?"
32985Then that self- administered dose was sufficient to cause death?
32985Then there was a fire and you watched the house burning?
32985Then why take the risk of a trial? 32985 Then why was the baby given to Margaret Grath?"
32985Then would you say that three grains would be a lethal dose?
32985Then you adhere to the story which you told upon the stand?
32985Then you are happy in your present state?
32985Then you are happy, when you are asleep like this?
32985Then you are not going to explain this thing to me?
32985Then you do not love Agnes Dudley?
32985Then you do not think that three, or three and a half grains of morphia would have caused the death of your wife?
32985Then you rushed forward and fell into this well?
32985Then you saw him put the syringe in a case, and place the case in his pocket, I think you said?
32985Then you trust me?
32985Then, on the whole, Dr. Meredith was inaccurate when he said that you and he are not enemies?
32985There is no hope?
32985Therefore you decided to claim that the drug was self- administered, knowing that the administration would be proved?
32985Three grains or more?
32985True, but I suppose you are leading to something else?
32985Unusually large you mean?
32985Upon what ground, Mr. Dudley,asked the Recorder,"do you make this motion?"
32985Very true, but because Deleuze did not understand a phenomenon, does it logically follow that there is no explanation of it to be had?
32985Waiting for me?
32985Was it a case like this?
32985Was it after this that you attacked one of his papers in debate?
32985Was it not because Moses, or the author of the earlier books, had more data concerning the events following the Flood, than those which preceded it? 32985 Was not your paper sent to the journal as usual, and was it not rejected by the journal?"
32985Was that the same phial which you brought to me?
32985Was the breathing stertorous?
32985Was there any morphine in this case when you last saw it?
32985Well, Robert, what of it?
32985Well, did she have a child?
32985Well, from what you did find, can you state what quantity must have been administered?
32985Well, has your paper been published anywhere?
32985Well, if you know, why did you ask me?
32985Well, is there a child?
32985Well, now, suppose that a patient had some kidney trouble, such as Bright''s disease, would not morphine be retained in this way?
32985Well, then, during that last three hours did you, or any one else, in your presence, inject, or administer morphine in any form to Miss Sloane?
32985Well, what did you see?
32985Well,said she, scarcely waiting to be seated,"what have you found out?"
32985Well,_ cara mia_, are you glad to have me with you again?
32985Were you present when Miss Sloane died?
32985What about the incident of the fire reported in the papers?
32985What are they?
32985What are you doin''out here all by yourself?
32985What can he do? 32985 What did he say to you at that time?"
32985What did you do with these tablets?
32985What did you see when you entered?
32985What do I think?
32985What do you mean by all that noise?
32985What do you mean? 32985 What do you mean?"
32985What do you mean?
32985What do you mean?
32985What do you say? 32985 What do you think of the lad?"
32985What does it rebut?
32985What does this mean, Leon?
32985What does this mean?
32985What effect does atropine have upon the pupils?
32985What explanation have you to make of such conduct?
32985What happened between you after your return?
32985What have you been doing up in the country, Doctor?
32985What have you to say to that?
32985What is a medicinal dose?
32985What is it, Robert?
32985What is it, mother?
32985What is love?
32985What is that? 32985 What is the matter with him?"
32985What of it? 32985 What of it?
32985What secret?
32985What sort of case was it?
32985What then is it? 32985 What will you do?"
32985When was that?
32985When were you married, and by whom?
32985When you went out did you state when you would return?
32985Where is the fire?
32985Who are you?
32985Who is this other?
32985Why did you come to so singular a conclusion?
32985Why did you do that?
32985Why did you mistrust me before then?
32985Why do you ask? 32985 Why do you say it served him right?"
32985Why do you say''of course''?
32985Why do you think that, Doctor, when you have just said truly, that such a fact would be impossible?
32985Why not? 32985 Why so?"
32985Why, how should I know?
32985Why, there is nothing odd about that, is there?
32985Will that be satisfactory?
32985Will you come down now and speak to Leon before I take him out with me? 32985 Will you shake hands, as a sign that you forgive my unintentional rudeness?
32985Will you state who this friend is?
32985Will you state why you conclude that Miss Sloane died of morphine poisoning?
32985Will you take us a little further into your doctrine?
32985Will you take your medicine?
32985With what purpose would you show them the letters?
32985Yet she was in such a condition that she could not even swallow coffee?
32985You are ashamed of your name, are you? 32985 You are asleep now?"
32985You ask for proof? 32985 You attended Miss Mabel Sloane in her last illness, I believe?"
32985You attended Miss Sloane in her last illness, Doctor?
32985You did that?
32985You do not contemplate suicide?
32985You do? 32985 You expect assistance from me?"
32985You followed me to- day?
32985You gave him the poison?
32985You have been taking every night the draught which I prescribed?
32985You have claimed,continued the lawyer,"that Miss Sloane administered morphine to herself?"
32985You have detected that? 32985 You have no evidence, beyond your own word, that Dr. Meredith acted as you have charged?"
32985You have no positive knowledge that it was stolen, have you?
32985You have not felt what it is to love a woman?
32985You have not?
32985You have those letters?
32985You have? 32985 You mean that jails should be reformatories?"
32985You mean that you have hypnotized Agnes?
32985You mean that you will take me into that chamber, which you have found?
32985You mean three and one half grains?
32985You mean you think she died of morphine poisoning?
32985You never told any friend, before the death of this girl, that Dr. Meredith had persecuted her?
32985You poisoned Lossy, and you dare to tell me of it?
32985You remember all that I told you to- night before you went to sleep?
32985You saw your wife''s mother beat her, you say?
32985You say Leon saw me take a culture tube from the laboratory?
32985You see and hear me?
32985You surely do not suppose that you can deceive the experts by shamming madness?
32985You told her to remain until nine o''clock?
32985You took it away from her after she had taken nearly all of the dose?
32985You were naughty, down stairs, little one?
32985You will forget that there was a fire?
32985You will forget that you followed me?
32985You will forget that you followed me?
32985You will forget that you saw me and heard me speaking to a woman?
32985You will forget that?
32985You will forget the secret staircase?
32985You will forget this room?
32985You will play the spy upon me, will you? 32985 You will remember all this?"
32985You will sleep, whenever I wish you to do so?
32985You will surrender to the police?
32985You wish to escape?
32985You? 32985 You?
32985Your own name?
32985Your pleasure to deprive a poor dumb brute of life? 32985 _ Ardath_, and you do not remember the name of the author?
32985''What experience have you?''
32985''What references can you offer?''
32985Addressing his wife he asked:"Did you do that?
32985After weighing the matter thoroughly in your own mind, do you believe it is possible for one person to mesmerize another?"
32985Again he ventured:"You will forget that you followed me?
32985Again you essay a comparison: but what happens now?
32985Am I not correct?"
32985Am I not right?
32985Am I not right?"
32985Am I right, then, in concluding that you married him because you loved him?"
32985Am I to understand that you could not form an attachment of that kind which leads to matrimony?"
32985Am I wrong?"
32985Analyzed, what do we find it to be?
32985And are not both immortal?
32985And now?
32985And of Pasteur''s experiments?"
32985And with our stupid laws who may say when that may be?
32985And would you contend that love is the most important fact in the world?"
32985And you remained with her until she was actually dead?"
32985Are they genuine?
32985Are you asleep?"
32985Are you in love with any one?"
32985Are you particularly interested in any young man?
32985Are you satisfied that à � sculapius was originally an inhabitant of this continent?"
32985As a result of his argument, was not your paper refused publication by a leading medical journal?"
32985Asiatic cholera?
32985At least, does it not raise a doubt in your minds, which must be credited to Dr. Medjora, and which would deter you from sending him to the hangman?
32985Besides, how did the fire occur?
32985But I submit it to you, gentlemen, is that a probable tale?
32985But I?
32985But at them all you would be met with such questions as''Where did you work last?''
32985But do you not know that deglutition is most difficult in cases of diphtheria?"
32985But do you not see, that I have but to show that diphtheria caused death, and my innocence will be admitted?"
32985But do you remember?"
32985But do you side with the Christian, and claim that the dog is annihilated, while man is immortal?"
32985But does not the religious world claim that it is an inspired work?
32985But how can this immunity be acquired by a given individual?"
32985But how did she contract that disease?
32985But how to proceed?
32985But how?
32985But if so, what would you have done?"
32985But if so, why were you afraid that I would do what you emphatically believe to be an impossibility?"
32985But if you go away from me, what will you do?"
32985But in the great city which he approached, was he not destined to make a new name for himself?
32985But is not mind an attribute of the human soul, and conscience too?
32985But is the proposition proved, even though you have these several witnesses to the actual drowning?
32985But is this even proved?
32985But note well the speech of even the most liberally educated and carefully nurtured, and what do we discover?
32985But the boy?
32985But what of that?
32985But what of the after effects?
32985But when the cross- examination begins, what do we see?
32985But why not send Jack after him now?
32985But why?
32985But will it so remain?
32985But you have read, or heard of such cases?"
32985But, gentlemen of the jury, are all indicted men tried?
32985But, gentlemen, how does that effect this case?
32985But, gentlemen, what of that?
32985By Dr. Medjora, as the prosecution have claimed?
32985By whom?
32985Can we assail such evidence with the cry of bias, merely because it comes within the general category of expert testimony?
32985Can you even compute the brief moment of time in which the withdrawal could have been effected?
32985Can you recall a day in all her life, when Agnes has been ill?
32985Can you throw any light upon that phase of the question?"
32985Coming forward she looked at Lossy a moment, and then said:"Do you think that the brute will die?"
32985Contracted?"
32985Could you prolong the hour a little to- night if I should not otherwise find time for what I wish to say?"
32985Days on which occurred some events of special moment?
32985Did I understand you that if we can show that Mabel died of diphtheria, our case is won?"
32985Did Matilda Grath know a secret which the Doctor would wish to have suppressed?
32985Did he ever tell you the truth about that?"
32985Did not that surprise you?"
32985Did not the nurse return half an hour sooner than you expected her?"
32985Did she die a half hour after you entered her room?"
32985Did she tell you that?"
32985Did the Doctor tire of his pretty little musician, and wish to marry his rich friend who owns the carriage and horses?
32985Did you at that time administer a dose of morphine, a dose large enough to have caused death in the manner you have described?"
32985Did you buy him?"
32985Did you ever mistrust me?"
32985Did you know him before your connection with this case?"
32985Did you notice that specially?"
32985Did you, or did you not, discover symptoms of Bright''s disease?"
32985Disbelieving in mesmerism, have you yourself the power to charm or fascinate the lower animals?"
32985Do I so understand you?"
32985Do I state the facts clearly?"
32985Do n''t you hear?
32985Do you believe in mesmerism?"
32985Do you doubt that I am innocent?"
32985Do you follow me?"
32985Do you hear?"
32985Do you know whether, three days ago, there was a culture of the bacillus of diphtheria in the Doctor''s laboratory?"
32985Do you mean that he is the most skilled expert that you know?"
32985Do you mean that you would begin the battle at once, to- day?"
32985Do you not find that you are less easily fatigued?"
32985Do you not hear?
32985Do you not know, that what a man thinks is not admissible in evidence?"
32985Do you not see that you must consent to this union?"
32985Do you promise?"
32985Do you remember?"
32985Do you still trust me?"
32985Do you suppose that they would call an expert, if they knew that his honest opinions would controvert their claims?
32985Do you then advise me to surrender myself?
32985Do you think that one might sleep soundly, and nevertheless dream?"
32985Do you understand that?"
32985Do you understand?"
32985Do you understand?"
32985Does he act the part of the hired lawyer and proceed, merely that he may collect a fee?
32985Does he speak the truth?"
32985Does it satisfy you; that is to say, do you consider that it is as excellent as it need be?"
32985Does it show that the drug was administered by any particular person?
32985Does it take ten minutes to withdraw a needle?
32985Does not the circumstantial evidence raise a doubt?
32985Does not the pulse become slow in many cases just before death?"
32985Does not this surely indicate to you that he had the opportunity to commit the foul deed?
32985Dudley?"
32985Evading my question, without apparently meaning to shirk a reply, he merely smiled and said,"Do you believe in that sort of thing?"
32985Finally he asked:"Then Dr. Meredith knew that Miss Sloane was your wife?"
32985Fisher?"
32985Fisher?"
32985For only a dog I was; or may I say, I am?
32985For we do n''t care about church, do we, old boy?
32985Grath?"
32985Had the poor beast gone mad?
32985Hain''t ye?"
32985Has the Western Union an office in the other world now, that dead men may send telegrams?"
32985Have I a soul?
32985Have you decided?"
32985Have you ever experienced the odd sensation of being present at your own funeral, as I am now?
32985Have you the courage and the energy to accept my offer?
32985He asked:"Doctor, do you recognize that?"
32985He certainly would think of that?
32985He did that?"
32985He folded his arms and, gazing coldly upon the wrathful woman, added,"What is it that you think you know?"
32985He had a very good excuse, for by accident,(_ sic?_) he had left his umbrella at the house the day before, and already it was growing cloudy.
32985He made one more effort, however, saying:"What is the date?"
32985He mused over the problem for a moment, and a shade of anxiety passed across his features, as he murmured,"What if I have made a mistake?
32985He must have started it himself, and, if so, with what object, except to cover up his escape?
32985He was fascinated, why might he not be hypnotized?
32985Hence I say,''Was it murder to kill a dog?''
32985Here in the treasure house of my great ancestor?
32985How can it be, in the absence of the drowned body?
32985How can my reason be destroyed by so small a dose as that which I have taken?
32985How can you think that?"
32985How could I forget that I, Emanuel Medjora, the Wizard, am not as other men?
32985How could I?
32985How could he be less than she?
32985How could he reject so good an authority as his morning paper?
32985How could this man have a claim upon his child greater than his own?
32985How could this youth cope with the skill of such a man?
32985How did I train them to this?
32985How did he come to be your''n?
32985How did he get at the poison?
32985How did you happen to lose this precious document?"
32985How do you come to that conclusion?"
32985How do you make that conform to your curious theory?
32985How does that occur, and why do you think it did not occur in this case?"
32985How frequently in life do we thus rush ruthlessly upon unsuspected crises in our fates?
32985How is it that these little wild animals would come to you?
32985How long have you been listening here?
32985How many of us in looking backward over life''s path, can summon up the phantoms of more than a few days?
32985How often do our joys and sorrows approach us hand in hand?
32985How shall I escape?"
32985How shall we judge between such conflicting evidence?
32985How should he accomplish it?
32985How should he accomplish it?
32985How willingly have seen the dread diphtheria remove her from his path, and save his soul from the stain of crime?
32985I had always supposed that it was either a myth, or an exaggeration of some local inundation?"
32985I have not the right to investigate your relations with other women?"
32985I like the line''Was it murder to kill a dog?''
32985I said that I liked the next line:''For only a dog I was; or may I say, I am?''
32985I say here I am, yet where am I?
32985I submit it to you, gentlemen, was not the hypothesis suggested by that question an ingenious one?
32985I thought that Grath was your name?"
32985I wonder if he read my thoughts?"
32985I, whom you expect to marry?
32985If I may go further, I would like to ask you why you have adopted this theory about yourself?
32985If you see one man shoot at another and see the other fall and die, can you say without further knowledge, that one killed the other?
32985If, according to your tenets, the wisest man is most certain of a future life, what of the most idiotic?"
32985If, then, knowledge is such a potent factor in the world''s affairs, can it be that it ceases to exist when a man dies?
32985In heaven''s name how?"
32985In the future if I try to make you sleep, you will not resist me?"
32985In your opinion would that account for the dilatation of the pupils just previous to death, which you say that you yourself observed?"
32985Irritated at the daring attempt of Xelhua, they hurled fire[ lightning?]
32985Is a slow death of this kind only possible where opium poisoning has occurred?"
32985Is he an idiot that he can not tell his name?"
32985Is it not better than money?"
32985Is it not so?"
32985Is it not true that it also acts differently upon the same individual at various times?"
32985Is it not true that the predominant theme with novelists is love?
32985Is not that enough, gentlemen, to satisfy you that, if this girl died of morphine, she died a natural death, and was not murdered?
32985Is not the skilled medical witness hired, and paid for his advocacy, just as that eminent lawyer was?
32985Is that about it?"
32985Is that clearly known?
32985Is that right?"
32985Is that true?"
32985Is that why you lighted it yourself?
32985Is that your idea of a quiet trip?"
32985Is the original hypothesis proven?
32985Is the sale of that dog all straight?"
32985It is reasonable to suppose that it does not: then what becomes of it?
32985It''s mine, an''I kin sell it, I spose,''thout gittin''your permission?"
32985Leon entered the reception- room in some surprise, and seeing Mr. Barnes he asked:"Is your errand of importance?
32985Leon suspects that I have committed a crime?
32985Leon what?"
32985Let me see them?"
32985Madame died of diphtheria, and since you admit that you can produce it by inoculation, what am I to believe?"
32985May I be permitted to ask what book you have?"
32985May I count upon you to do this?"
32985May I proceed?"
32985May I?"
32985Me steal?
32985Medjora?"
32985Medjora?"
32985Medjora?"
32985Medjora?"
32985Medjora?"
32985Mr. Barnes also chose to remain silent, until at last Leon stammered forth:"Why do you wish to see me?"
32985Mr. Barnes communed with himself for a brief moment, then suddenly asked:"You have had no children, I believe?"
32985Munson?"
32985Munson?"
32985Murderer did I say?
32985No, my dear friend, you and I are going to be a model couple, provided----""Provided what?"
32985None will deny that the wanton killing of a dog can never be forgotten, and if the dog remains in one''s mind, is not that a sort of immortality?"
32985Not intimately?
32985Nothing else occurred?"
32985Now did you observe the contracted pupils?"
32985Now having shown himself he spoke:"You are Leon Grath, I believe?"
32985Now how should he accomplish it?
32985Now is it not a fact that you and Dr. Medjora were enemies?"
32985Now kin you prove that?"
32985Now then, obliged to confine yourself to positive evidence in the present case, what could you do?
32985Now then, suppose that it could be shown that, since the death of Mabel Sloane, and prior to the trial, I had actually married this rich woman?"
32985Now there is no evidence whatever as to that?"
32985Now was there more than would be expected on a warm night such as that was?"
32985Now when did that occur?
32985Now why did you do that?"
32985Now with that knowledge would you be able to give us a definite answer?"
32985Now, had she remained the full time, she would not have known anything about this morphine incident?"
32985Now, how do you know that Medjora is dead after all?"
32985Now, of course you realized, being an intellectual man, that such evidence would weigh against you?"
32985Now, then, when you found that she was too ill to swallow, what else did you do?"
32985Now, to continue the reasons for our marriage, perhaps you would like to know why I intend to marry you?"
32985Now, what is a wizard?
32985Now, what is the situation on that last evening of her life?
32985Now, why?
32985Of course you have that letter?"
32985Of opium and its alkaloids especially, is what I mean?"
32985One old woman approached Leon and sought information, thus:"Be you the boy that Marg''ret Grath took offen the county farm?"
32985Or did the threat merely mean that the Doctor could be made to suffer through his affection for Leon?
32985Or five minutes, or one minute?
32985Or if the child were alive, then why did she never allude to it?
32985Or is the word applicable only to Man, who is immortal?
32985Or one second, gentlemen?
32985Or rather who was he?
32985Pardon my asking if it is a predominant emotion with yourself?"
32985Perhaps she might have mentioned it in her will?
32985Perhaps you would like to refresh your memory?"
32985Please state whether you examined the organs of the deceased, and with what result?"
32985Pray then how did she contract it?"
32985Remembering that he had been paid for advocating the cause in behalf of which he was testifying, how much weight would his evidence have?
32985See how faint his respirations are?"
32985Served him right, only it is a great case missed by us lawyers, eh?"
32985Shall I be proof that Christianity contains a flaw?
32985Shall I do so?"
32985Shall I surrender myself to the District Attorney, and so destroy argument number one, as you suggested?"
32985She had dreamed of love, and she had coupled Leon with that idea in some way, but why should it disturb her to find that it was but a dream?
32985She looked up into his eyes and merely murmured,"You will forgive me?"
32985Shortly after your entrance into her room she died, did she not?"
32985Should he use them?
32985So that such a condition might readily be mistaken for a gradually deepening coma?"
32985So there was not much sweat after all?
32985Stooping over him he placed his lips close to Leon''s ear and said:"Can you hear me?
32985Suppose that we show that from either the first, or the second, or the third fact, we can trace back to other causes as producing the result?
32985Suppose, then, that associate counsel should place this most eminent lawyer upon the stand as an expert witness?
32985Supposing that he wished to rid himself of this girl, how gladly would he have awaited for her death by natural causes?
32985Surely she could not be in love with Leon?
32985That I would bring you so far and then abandon you to your own resources?
32985That an eminent scientist would go upon the witness stand, and perjure himself merely because he has been engaged to substantiate a given proposition?
32985That idea does not please you, does it?"
32985That is not uncommon in diphtheria, is it, Doctor?"
32985That is why I asked, and why I ask again, have you decided, from what you have read of my case, that I am guilty?
32985That is your best diagnostic symptom, is it not, Doctor?"
32985That is, was he kind, or was he indifferent?"
32985The Doctor continued, as though soliloquizing:"So you are the detective that my wife engaged?
32985The Doctor seated himself in a comfortable Turkish chair, and began as follows:"Leon, are you tired?
32985The drollery which aroused his mirth, was that, if a name might be inherited, why might not Margaret Grath have bequeathed hers to him?
32985The open fields, with the green grass, and the trees, and the birds, and the bright sunlight is all the church we need, is n''t it, old doggy?"
32985The senior member of your firm?"
32985The youth now left to buffet with the world alone?
32985Then I am to understand that you and he were good friends?"
32985Then am I not immortal, since though dead, I may speak the charmed words?
32985Then are the lawyers for the prosecution any more human than we?
32985Then having, as he thought, led his man away from his defence, he asked quickly,"But tell me, why have you not surrendered before?"
32985Then how comes it that I am here?
32985Then how do you know that he did make the injection, if one was made at all?"
32985Then if I do not bid him rise, am I a murderer?
32985Then of course you made some effort to save her life, did you not?
32985Then the Doctor resumed:"Leon, did you suppose that I meant to let you go away?
32985Then this woman had some kidney disease?
32985Then turning towards Mr. Dudley he said:"You are Mr. Dudley, I believe?
32985Then which of them all is the true fact, and which is mere speculation?"
32985Then who was she?
32985Then why should not she lose her life in payment for the crime which she had committed, her victim being a defenceless and confiding dog?
32985Then why should we discard the evidence of the one, and accept the other?
32985Then why the blush?
32985Then you did know him?
32985Then you remember me?"
32985Theos has said:"Then the upshot of all your learning sir, is that one can never be quite certain of anything?"
32985There is no but?
32985There, what do you think of that?"
32985Therefore he asked:"What do you think of Miss Dudley?"
32985Therefore, he says most pertinently,''or may I say, I am?''
32985Therefore, when you read my name on my card this morning, you thought it a good opportunity to track a murderer, did you not?
32985These are strong words, but what does Lord Campbell mean?
32985This is true; but, gentlemen, what does that signify?
32985To such wooing as this how could woman answer?
32985To what clime did he owe allegiance by birth?
32985Unless----?"
32985Upon what do they rely for the accomplishment of their purpose?
32985Upon what facts is it based?"
32985Was he not a man, while she-- she was only a woman?
32985Was it murder to kill a dog?
32985Was that murder?
32985Was that why you called at night?"
32985Were they not loath to call Dr. Fisher?
32985Were you on duty on the day of her death?"
32985Were you sent for?"
32985What are those tablets?"
32985What care I though it should be annihilated?
32985What defence could we rely upon to refute such damning evidence as that?
32985What did they say of her condition?"
32985What disease should he choose?
32985What do you know about that mysterious subject?"
32985What do you know of that?"
32985What do you suspect?"
32985What do you wish me to do about him?"
32985What else was it that you wished to say?"
32985What have you to say to that?"
32985What if I should fail?
32985What is it?"
32985What is that other side?
32985What is the test of immortality?
32985What is the usual punishment of murder?
32985What is your last name, your full name?"
32985What is your name?
32985What is your name?"
32985What is your opinion of that?"
32985What is your price?"
32985What next?
32985What occurs then?
32985What of it?"
32985What of it?"
32985What should her punishment be?
32985What then has departed?
32985What then is this potential power which has left the body?
32985What was his reply?
32985What would be the first effects of a cataclysm of such magnitude?
32985What, risk your precious life again?
32985When can you give it to me?
32985Where did you find the greater quantity?"
32985Where is it?"
32985Where is it?"
32985Where is the mystery?
32985Where''s the odds?"
32985Wherein lies the resemblance?"
32985Why ask me?"
32985Why delay?
32985Why did the Professor use just this language?
32985Why did you poison that dog?"
32985Why do n''t you tell me?"
32985Why do you lay such store by knowledge, when the rest of mankind are crying for money?"
32985Why do you say even?
32985Why how could I do that?
32985Why not?
32985Why should I wish to kill my wife?"
32985Why should any one poison a person who is about to die a natural death?
32985Why should he sign only his first name?
32985Why should he, a Christian minister, stoop to dig a grave?
32985Why should they not trust me?
32985Why, Mr. Grath, I thought that you told me you would never love any one?"
32985Why, how can I?"
32985Why, in the name of heaven, should he harbor such a thought against me?"
32985Why?
32985Will five hundred dollars satisfy you as a retaining fee?"
32985Will it be safe?
32985Will you accept it?"
32985Will you accept?"
32985Will you accompany me to a room below, where we will be safe from intrusion?"
32985Will you do this?"
32985Will you drink it?"
32985Will you explain how it happened that, although you and he were enemies, he should have been called into the case?"
32985Will you forgive me?"
32985Will you kiss me?"
32985Will you mind being penned up in a little yard, with strict orders not to come into the grand house?
32985Will you miss going after the cows, and the sheep?
32985Will you miss the old place, as I suppose I shall?
32985Will you miss your swims in the lake?"
32985Will you reply to it?"
32985Will you reply truthfully?"
32985Will you?"
32985Without, however, betraying that he had noticed anything, he said quietly:"What will you do about it?"
32985Would it surprise you to hear that this Mexican deity is no other than à � sculapius, commonly called the father of medicine?"
32985Would it surprise you, however, to know that a similar legend is found in Central America?"
32985Would not that corroborate your own conclusions?"
32985Wouldst thou not taste it?"
32985Ye do n''t mean you''re goin''to sell this strap?"
32985Yet how much do you really know of the great progress which has been made in mastering the secret causes of human disease?
32985Yet in the true death is there not an awakening?
32985Yet is it not the same with the expert physician?
32985Yet was not Lossy''s life as dear to him, as Madame Medjora''s was to her?
32985Yet where now is that will?
32985You a Mexican priest?"
32985You be the boy as lives here, be''ant you?"
32985You found her much improved?"
32985You have been present throughout this trial, and have heard all of the evidence, I believe?"
32985You have dared to make such an experiment?"
32985You have heard of hydrophobia, have you not?
32985You have heard of what is commonly called the''Germ Theory''of disease?"
32985You have it with you, I suppose?"
32985You have no witness who saw me commit the deed which you charge, have you?"
32985You have not been indicted, and there is no warrant out for your arrest; still, as you have surrendered, are you willing to be taken to prison?"
32985You have observed that?"
32985You knew this, and also that she had a serious disease, and yet you left her alone in a strange boarding- house, whilst you went away to Europe?"
32985You know that, do you not?"
32985You know the truth now, what will you do about it?"
32985You mean, what will my wife think?
32985You remember the case?
32985You remember where the busy- body tries to make mischief by telling Thelma that her husband has transferred his love to another?
32985You saw him take it, did you not?"
32985You understand that I would not harm my friend?"
32985You understand that?"
32985You used some antidotes?"
32985You wanted to be alone, did you?
32985You will forget my stupid words, will you?"
32985You will forget that you followed me?"
32985You will not reveal it?"
32985You will remember?"
32985You wish Leon and Agnes to be married?"
32985You wish me to go?"
32985and the one which follows,''For only a dog I was; or may I say, I am?''
32985certainly, the money will come handy, but what is five hundred dollars to an opportunity such as this would have been?"
27824Accident?
27824Ah, ah?
27824Ah, ah?
27824Ah, but is that the reason-- the only reason for your going?
27824Ah, doctor, how do you do?
27824Ah, indeed, then, monsieur, you make no attempt to contradict Madame''s accusation?
27824Ah, mademoiselle, what have I told you? 27824 Ah?"
27824Aline,he said as the woman came towards him,"what was Madame wearing?
27824And did it do you good?
27824And how do you suggest I''m going to take a bath?
27824And now perhaps you will explain what you mean by coming into my salon and ordering my friends to leave my house?
27824And suppose I do not choose to do as you say? 27824 And then if we do n''t find her----""What then, sir?"
27824And what are you doing here at this hour?
27824And where are you going?
27824And where should I be?
27824And why not? 27824 And you do n''t think now that I was making love to her or anything like that, do you?"
27824And you let her go without seeing me?
27824Any news of... of that man?
27824Any news?
27824Are you absolutely sure he did n''t touch this place in any way? 27824 Are you all right, Sir Charles?"
27824Are you going out?
27824Are you quite comfortable there,_ mon cher_?
27824Are you quite sure it''s necessary?
27824Are you sure of that?
27824Are you sure?
27824Are you there, nurse?
27824Be careful-- what is that?
27824Bring me a whisky and soda, will you, Chalmers?
27824But as a man?
27824But as much as that? 27824 But does n''t he ever do anything?--any work, I mean?"
27824But how do you mean to... wo n''t it be dangerous?
27824But is it essential to get rid of the girl entirely?
27824But was n''t she going with you?
27824But why do you ask that?
27824But why? 27824 But you would n''t try to-- to----""To restrain her?
27824By the way, I suppose you''ve never come across that needle you mislaid?
27824Can I be of any assistance?
27824Can you typewrite?
27824Caught a slight chill, perhaps? 27824 Certainly not; why should I?"
27824Chalmers, what is it? 27824 Coming down to dinner?"
27824Considering his age, that''s lucky, is n''t it?
27824Did I do wrong?
27824Did I not say he was what you call fed up?
27824Did n''t I tell you? 27824 Did she ask you that straight off?"
27824Did you ever see anything so lovely? 27824 Did you want anything, Sir Charles?"
27824Did you win?
27824Did you?
27824Dido, have you seen Miss Rowe?
27824Do I look so ignorant?
27824Do I not? 27824 Do I not?"
27824Do n''t be ridiculous, Roger; where is your sense of humour? 27824 Do n''t trouble about me: but just get Lady Clifford away, will you?"
27824Do n''t you think the driver may have forgotten?
27824Do n''t you think we''d better get_ him_ to do something after all?
27824Do you consider he''s very ill?
27824Do you feel like dancing?
27824Do you know Lady Clifford?
27824Do you know this neighbourhood?
27824Do you know what I''m thinking?
27824Do you know what you are saying to me?
27824Do you like him?
27824Do you mean it, Roger?
27824Do you mean to insinuate that she gave herself those injections--_through both sleeves_?
27824Do you mean to say there is no coat gone? 27824 Do you mean to say they would have murdered you too?"
27824Do you mean you have n''t arrested him-- after what I told you? 27824 Do you realise what this means?"
27824Do you see? 27824 Do you think Holliday had anything to do with it?"
27824Do you think it is any use?
27824Do you think it''s all right, sir?
27824Do you think it''s suicide, sir?
27824Do you think the doctor could have foreseen this?
27824Do you think their idea is to try to escape, sir?
27824Do you wish to see the doctor, Lady Clifford?
27824Do you?
27824Doctor still out?
27824Doctor, what happened to Sir Charles Clifford?
27824Doctor-- will you be good enough to look at Mr. Clifford''s hand? 27824 Does he indeed?
27824Does he? 27824 Does she?
27824Does your head pain you?
27824Esther, how does Holliday come into this? 27824 Esther, you poor little thing, what on earth is this all about?
27824Esther,he said, forcing himself to speak calmly,"where were you during those two days and nights?
27824Esther-- do you know what you''re saying?
27824Fascinating, is n''t it?
27824Feeling seedy, has he? 27824 For me?"
27824From Arthur? 27824 From Roger?"
27824Get away? 27824 Get my handkerchief out of my trousers pocket, will you?"
27824Get well? 27824 Give me that smallest phial from the rack, will you?
27824Go on, Chalmers, what were you about to say?
27824Going?
27824Good God, in Cannes?
27824Good God, what else would it be? 27824 Good God, what makes you think that?
27824Good Lord, why should I have a private physician? 27824 Good- bye?
27824Got what?
27824Hand me that tumbler, will you?
27824Happened?
27824Has he?
27824Has she had any chance of speaking with the doctor?
27824Has the doctor''s treatment of the case anything to do with it, do you think?
27824Have I kept you long?
27824Have I stayed too long?
27824Have you any idea of what may have caused this?
27824Have you any idea where it could have been?
27824Have you been able to come to any conclusion on the subject of her mental condition?
27824Have you noticed anything yourself which you would regard as a suspicious symptom, doctor?
27824Have you seen Miss Rowe, doctor?
27824Have you the face to stand there and confess to such a piece of flagrant carelessness?
27824Have you?
27824He hates to admit he is ill."What sort of feelings?
27824He telephoned you? 27824 He was in the air service, was n''t he?"
27824He''s not the most cheery person in the world, is he? 27824 Here, will someone fetch some brandy?"
27824His will?
27824How can we find out about her? 27824 How can you say such a thing, Roger?"
27824How did I find out Sir Charles was dead? 27824 How did she seem to you?"
27824How do you do, Miss Rowe? 27824 How do you make that out?"
27824How is Sir Charles now?
27824How is he to- night? 27824 How long has this condition lasted?"
27824How long will it take?
27824How''s that, I wonder? 27824 I beg your pardon?"
27824I daresay you''ll be wanting to go straight to your room, miss?
27824I do n''t quite like the sound of that-- do you, doctor?
27824I hope I have n''t hurt you?
27824I hope you do n''t mind this plebeian way of getting about?
27824I know how fearfully difficult it all is, only, Arthur, why must you decide at once? 27824 I mean, if he is ill, what has he got?"
27824I suppose it must be nearly lunch- time?
27824I suppose you gave her the injection at the time I told you to?
27824I suppose you have had no word from our Miss Rowe?
27824I suppose you''ll be glad to get the doctor back?
27824I suppose you''re glad I''m ill, are you, Dido?
27824I suppose you''ve been to Nice and Monte Carlo?
27824I take it that you are Monsieur Clifford?
27824I thought I heard..."_ Who the hell is that down there? 27824 I thought of inquiring, Miss Rowe, what plans you have for the immediate future?
27824I thought you always had Cromer when you wanted any doctoring?
27824I wo n''t be a second, doctor.... Oh, what has he done to his hand?
27824I wonder if she has any free time?
27824I wonder if there''s a car I can have this afternoon?
27824I wonder if you could get this analysed for me?
27824I wonder what your little nurse thinks of her?
27824I wonder why Thérèse has locked her door?
27824I''ll wash up a bit, and then do you think I''ll be allowed to have a word with the old man?
27824I''m sorry to trouble you, Thérèse, but can you tell where Arthur Holliday is staying?
27824If you''ve really liked it,he said, detaining her hand a little longer than was necessary,"you''ll come with me again?"
27824Is anyone staying here?
27824Is anything the matter?
27824Is anything the matter?
27824Is anything wrong, doctor?
27824Is it a headache?
27824Is it----?
27824Is it? 27824 Is my son coming in after tea, nurse?"
27824Is n''t Lady Clifford a dream?
27824Is n''t it amazing when you think how timid he is?
27824Is n''t it stupid of me? 27824 Is n''t there any other means of keeping her quiet?"
27824Is she French?
27824Is she coming around?
27824Is she?
27824Is that Sir Charles''s son?
27824Is that you, nurse?
27824Is the doctor with him?
27824Is there any news of her?
27824Is this it?
27824It is amazing, is n''t it? 27824 It is n''t yours, is it?"
27824Jacques, what are you talking about?
27824Just how long does this illness last? 27824 Just what do you mean by that?"
27824Knew? 27824 Know French?"
27824Know anyone to play with?
27824Lady Clifford in your room? 27824 Leddy Cleefford?
27824Look here, Chalmers, you''re not going to mention this to anyone, do you hear? 27824 Mademoiselle come about job?"
27824May I ask by what authority you issue orders in this house?
27824May I be permitted to inquire, madame, who this gentleman is?
27824May I have this dance?
27824May I inquire if you had any knowledge of this antipathy before she went away?
27824Me telephone the Captain, miss? 27824 Me?
27824Mine? 27824 Miss Rowe, did you ever know anyone so stupid?"
27824Miss Rowe-- you do n''t think----?
27824Miss Rowe?
27824Must I remind you that I am at liberty to do as I like in my own house?
27824Must you go back at once?
27824No peculiar sensation there, I suppose?
27824No, and in any case we ca n''t complain, can we?
27824No, thanks, doctor, I''ve just finished.... You did n''t want me for anything, did you?
27824No-- did you?
27824No?
27824Not my friend Sartorius?
27824Now where is it I have seen that man before?
27824Occupation, monsieur?
27824Oh, did he?
27824Oh, doctor, do you really think that will be necessary?
27824Oh, ill enough for a nurse... Well, did she see anything more?
27824Oh, so Thérèse was upset, was she?
27824Oh, so you think that was an excuse?
27824Oh, was he? 27824 Oh, you''ve noticed that, have you?
27824Oh-- the plains?
27824Oh? 27824 Oh?"
27824Or if I''m merely something to dance with? 27824 Perhaps not, but why me?
27824Pretty safe there, eh?
27824Ready?
27824Roger here to- morrow?
27824Roger, dear, why will you persist in wandering about in this stupid fashion? 27824 Roger, where in heaven''s name do you suppose that poor girl has been these past two days?"
27824Said I was what?
27824Say what? 27824 See here, you do n''t think me a hopeless fool, do you?"
27824Shall we say, then, five o''clock to- morrow afternoon, mademoiselle? 27824 Shall we walk along together then?"
27824Sharp pain?
27824She was n''t in the least offended, was she? 27824 So of course she was in a devil of a rage?"
27824So that was it, was it?
27824So that''s how you came to know him?
27824So that''s it, is it?
27824So you can see that, can you?
27824So you''ve taken on this job, have you?
27824Spanish, did you say?
27824Suppose I''m mistaken about him after all?
27824Tell me, doctor, do you consider her in danger?
27824That is a threat, is it not?
27824That''s so, she does drink Evian, does n''t she? 27824 That''s your day- nurse, I take it?"
27824The anti- toxin? 27824 The needle?"
27824Then I suppose, doctor, you wo n''t be wanting me for the next month or so?
27824Then I''d better not suggest an aspirin for fear you''d go and break your leg?
27824Then he has a family?
27824Then you really mean to go on with Clifford?
27824Then you think Aline has taken them to see if any of them will open my door?
27824Then you think it''s nothing serious?
27824Then you think,she said hesitatingly,"that she did n''t send it after all?"
27824Then_ you_ do n''t think that for a man of his age and in his state of health typhoid is-- is a thing to-- to be frightened about? 27824 There may not be any pressing necessity for an immediate wedding, and yet...""Yes?"
27824Think of you?
27824Thérèse,he said after a pause,"I suppose you have n''t had any word from Arthur Holliday, have you?"
27824Thérèse?
27824Waiter-- bring me a''doctor''--will you? 27824 Waiter-- where''s that blasted waiter gone?"
27824Was it the doctor''s car, sir? 27824 Was it?
27824Was she still here when you came downstairs?
27824Well, is n''t that what a hysterical woman usually does when she wants to get sympathy and put other people in the wrong? 27824 Well, true or not, why should we mind?
27824Well, well, Chalmers my lad, how are you? 27824 Well, what do they mean?"
27824Well, what do you know about that?
27824Well, what do you think? 27824 Well, what if it is?
27824Well, what''s the matter?
27824Well,he said abruptly,"what do you think of me?"
27824Well,he said at length,"do you particularly want to go?"
27824Well,she heard him say somewhat brusquely,"what is it now?"
27824Well?
27824Were n''t you there with two ladies, rather Spanish- looking, one much older than the other?
27824Were you looking for something, Lady Clifford?
27824What a conscientious child you are, Esther,he said, smiling at her;"you wo n''t let me abuse anyone, will you?
27824What about her ladyship?
27824What about the back stairs?
27824What about those new patterns you took out with you?
27824What about you?
27824What about your experiments?
27824What am I to understand, then, doctor? 27824 What are those for?"
27824What are you doing in France?
27824What are you doing to her?
27824What are you in such a hurry for? 27824 What business have you to interfere in matters that do not concern you?"
27824What can I do for you, mademoiselle?
27824What did Sartorius say when you talked to him yesterday?
27824What difference does it make to you where I go? 27824 What do you make of those, doctor?"
27824What do you mean by''not altogether wise''?
27824What do you mean-- made up her mind?
27824What do you mean?
27824What do you suppose is the reason for her turning against the doctor so suddenly? 27824 What do you think I''m used to, anyway?"
27824What do you think about it, Miss Rowe?
27824What do you think of it all, Chalmers?
27824What do you think one ought to do, doctor?
27824What do you think? 27824 What do you want me to say, Thérèse?
27824What do_ you_ think? 27824 What doctor is it?"
27824What does he know? 27824 What have I got to go on except an expression on Lady Clifford''s face when she did n''t know I was watching her?
27824What have you done with that needle I was using just now?
27824What is it all about, Roger? 27824 What is it, anyhow?"
27824What is it? 27824 What is it?
27824What is that?
27824What is your name,she asked,"and how do you come to be here?"
27824What is?
27824What on earth do you mean?
27824What on earth does it matter?
27824What reason do you mean?
27824What sort of look is that?
27824What sort of stuff do you mean? 27824 What then?"
27824What time do you have free?
27824What was it all about? 27824 What was it he reminded me of?
27824What was it?
27824What was she doing there?
27824What will be the end of it?
27824What would be the use? 27824 What would you like to do, dear?
27824What''s amusing you?
27824What''s the matter? 27824 What''s the matter?
27824What''s the use of denying anything? 27824 What''s wrong, Dido?
27824What, the Argentine? 27824 Where are you going?"
27824Where do you come from?
27824Where is Miss Rowe, Chalmers?
27824Where?
27824Which of these two women is going to get her way?
27824Who do you suppose----"I say, whose bloody business is it to prowl about down there? 27824 Who in hell is that?"
27824Who is it? 27824 Who is it?"
27824Who on earth is it?
27824Who sent for you to come here?
27824Who was he?
27824Why are you for ever harping on that theme? 27824 Why did you do that?"
27824Why do n''t I go straight to the police and give the whole show away? 27824 Why do people want to take you by surprise?"
27824Why do you say''after all''?
27824Why do you stay here?
27824Why not?
27824Why on earth not, my dear? 27824 Why should I be afraid of any man?
27824Why should I bother about him-- now?
27824Why should I come? 27824 Why should you care?"
27824Why should you think that?
27824Why, what happened the other day?
27824Why, what makes you think that?
27824Why, where has she got to?
27824Why? 27824 Why?
27824Why?
27824Why?
27824Will they exhume Sir Charles''s body, sir, do you think?
27824Will you come this way?
27824Will you forgive me for running away on your first evening here?
27824Will you kindly leave me now? 27824 Wo n''t you lose the post if you let so much time go by?"
27824Would n''t you rather go alone?
27824Would that have meant so much to you?
27824Would you believe me if I told you that that cable you spoke of was never sent?
27824Would you come and see me there?
27824Would you have it if you were I?
27824Yes, Chalmers, what is it?
27824Yes, and then what?
27824Yes, certainly; what is it?
27824Yes, doctor?
27824Yes, is he there?
27824Yes, what is it?
27824Yes; will you give us a hand?
27824You come from New York, I hear,she said, with another keen glance;"do you like it, New York?"
27824You do not mind my being here, do you?
27824You know it, too? 27824 You know, I wonder if the doctor did want something?
27824You mean he may have invented that story of the breakdown? 27824 You mean he might give up his practice?"
27824You mean it would rouse his suspicions if she kept paying out money to you?
27824You mean the doctor? 27824 You mean there would be nothing about her to make one know she was not normal mentally?"
27824You mean you''ve landed some good orders?
27824You recollect how he raved and carried on when you showed him those futurist designs?
27824You see that, do n''t you, Esther? 27824 You seem devilish sure, but all the same----""Rubbish-- if both Clifford and the girl are dead, who remains to bring a charge?
27824You think I ought to have typhoid anti- toxin, do you?
27824You think she was trying to get into my room?
27824You think there''s a chance of them escaping, sir?
27824You''d have thought it natural to ask how Roger came to cut his hand, would n''t you?
27824You''d like some more, would n''t you?
27824You''re much better to- day, are n''t you?
27824You''re not in a_ courant d''air_?
27824You''ve had a good nap, have n''t you, Charlie?
27824You''ve had a lot to do, have n''t you, Miss Rowe?
27824You''ve never quarrelled?
27824You''ve searched the house?
27824You_ think_--but are you_ sure_?
27824Your stepson, madame?
27824_ Ah, Tony, Tony, qu''est- ce que tu as? 27824 _ Ah, ça n''est rien, monsieur, ç''était ma faute, je vous assure!_ And how goes everything with you, mademoiselle?"
27824_ Bien, mademoiselle, qu''est- ce que vous désirez?_the woman rapped out in staccato accents.
27824_ Comment ça va, Thérèse?_ Ah, Captain,_ on me dit que vous avez l''intention de nous quitter. 27824 _ Des citrons?
27824_ Est- ce Monsieur le docteur est chez lui?_she ventured, hoping for the best.
27824_ Holliday?_He wondered if he had heard aright.
27824_ Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, c''est de ma faute, si j''avais su----_"Oh, cut it, old girl, what''s the good of post- mortems?
27824_ Mon Dieu_, what is all this? 27824 _ Pour chercher un médecin, sans doute?_"she suggested.
27824_ Qu''est- ce qu''elle porte autour de son cou?_whispered the messenger in a curious but awed voice.
27824_ Qu''est- ce qu''il y a?_"_ Un accident, monsieur. 27824 _ S''il vous plait, madame,_"began Esther, half crying with agitation,"_ Est- ce qu''on peut téléphoner?
27824_ Souffrante_, Aline?
27824_ Vous sortez?_It was Lady Clifford who spoke.
27824_ You_ did?
27824_ You_ telephoned them?
27824''Kind hearts are more than coronets, and simple faith than Norman blood''--you know that quotation, do n''t you?"
27824''Lord, miss,''I said,''where have you come from?''
27824--in a shocked tone--"Do you consider it as serious as that?"
27824... CHAPTER XXIX What sound was that?
27824... Needle?
27824A knock sounded at the door, a man''s voice called softly:"Have you gone to bed yet?"
27824A silence, then Sartorius''s voice, reflectively:"Humph, you did n''t give her quite all of it, did you?
27824After all, was it not worth a little managing to stay on in this beautiful sunny place?
27824After all, what did it matter?
27824After all, why not give in to them?
27824After all, why not?
27824After all, why not?
27824Altogether the business takes just over a couple of weeks, so the sooner one decides the sooner one can set about it, you see?"
27824And after that what about some_ sole spécialté de la maison_?
27824And do you like a dry champagne?"
27824And her companion-- what was he like?
27824And hold on-- what do you want, Thérèse?"
27824And how am I to know you did n''t write the letter yourself?"
27824And what did he get for it?
27824And when exactly does that point you speak of come?"
27824And where do you suppose she has been?
27824And who do you think she said the doctor was?
27824And why do you suppose she came up in a taxi instead of her own car?"
27824And yet... Roger, why is it Thérèse dislikes you?"
27824And you say your doctor is giving up his entire practice to devote himself to Sir Charles?
27824And you?"
27824Anything happened?"
27824Are n''t you doing anything for it?"
27824Are you an utter fool?"
27824Are you feeling better?"
27824Are you hungry?"
27824Are you quite sure?"
27824Are you serious?
27824Are you, or are you not, prepared to hand over the key to Madame''s door?"
27824Are you?"
27824Arthur, if for one moment I thought you no longer cared for me...""What on earth are you taking about?"
27824At any rate, in a few days we may consider him out of danger, may n''t we?"
27824At first the doctor did not think it serious, but towards the end he was afraid that she was a little-- a little----""A little what?"
27824At least some deceptive semblance of fact in it?
27824Besides, how could he be angry over such a trifle?
27824Besides, what is there to hang about here for?"
27824Besides, would anyone give herself injections through her sleeves?
27824But do I dare?"
27824But for this story he would not have believed it possible.... After all, why attach so much importance to the tale of an idle servant?
27824But if he did, what could he prove?
27824But what was it she had been trying to discover?
27824But what was she doing?
27824But where was Holliday?
27824But, after all, was she sure even of this?
27824By the way, I suppose as a nurse you are quite in the habit of having people confide in you, are n''t you?
27824By the way, have you told Thérèse?"
27824C''est vrai?_"What ensued was lost in a cackle of French interspersed with high- pitched laughter.
27824CHAPTER IV Esther''s first thought was,"Why does she stand being talked to like that?
27824CHAPTER V"I say, have you got any matches anywhere?"
27824CHAPTER XI Why should Lady Clifford show so much curiosity about a technical thing like a medical chart?
27824CHAPTER XXXI"Chalmers, was that Mr. Roger who came in?
27824Ca n''t you get on?
27824Ca n''t you say something more?"
27824Can one be absolutely sure of anything?"
27824Can this be arranged?"
27824Can we not find you something here?"
27824Can you see Thérèse reading a thing like that, a sweet little sentimental tale they give young girls in an elementary French course?''
27824Can you understand?"
27824Can your long- sighted eyes see who they are?"
27824Caviare or grape- fruit?
27824Coming, Dido?"
27824Could anything be wrong?
27824Could her jumbled utterances be linked together into any sort of meaning?
27824Could it be possible that this transcendently lovely creature was able to feel even the tiniest bit jealous of her?
27824Could it be possible that what both doctors suggested had any foundation in fact?
27824Could it be that she was displeased with her stepson for paying attention to a nurse in her employ?
27824Could it be true, that he subconsciously loved her and despised himself for so doing?
27824Could it be-- ah, now perhaps one was getting at it!--could it be that Sir Charles had made some will of which she did not approve?
27824Could it possibly be true that she was in some obscure way slightly unbalanced?
27824Could it really be true?
27824Could she possibly contrive to forestall him?
27824Could there, after all, be some underlying grain of truth in that wild accusation Esther had uttered a moment ago?
27824Could you possibly look it up and tell me over the telephone what the report was?
27824Dare she rise to her feet and hasten on her way?
27824Did I have it?"
27824Did I not say it would be so?"
27824Did Lady Clifford resent that?
27824Did he consider her rather confiding simplicity unbusinesslike?
27824Did he fear that in some way her adverse desires might communicate themselves to the invalid with unfortunate effects?
27824Did he happen to mention why he did n''t go back to his hotel last night?"
27824Did he know more of Esther than he was willing to say?
27824Did he suspect the baccarat story?
27824Did n''t I always say so?
27824Did n''t that rather knock the bottom out of this dreadful idea?
27824Did n''t you hear what I said?
27824Did she know what she was saying?
27824Did she?"
27824Did you notice all this mud down the side of her clothes?
27824Did you want anything?"
27824Dido, darling, will you be an angel and fasten this strap for me?
27824Do n''t you grasp the fact that my living depends on what doctors think of me?"
27824Do n''t you know?
27824Do n''t you suppose this is just another attempt to get round him?
27824Do n''t you think one should try to get her into some really safe place, where she could be properly looked after?"
27824Do n''t you think?
27824Do n''t you understand it''s impossible to arrest the man-- without a reason?"
27824Do n''t you want the doctor to see you?"
27824Do you deny it?"
27824Do you deny this?"
27824Do you know she has been so charming lately, that I am beginning quite to like her?"
27824Do you know what I mean?"
27824Do you know what I was thinking?
27824Do you know what you are saying?"
27824Do you know?"
27824Do you see?"
27824Do you suppose he knew about Thérèse''s-- accident-- before he left the villa this morning?"
27824Do you suppose she reasoned all that out and was prepared to take so much trouble to keep you away?"
27824Do you think it will want stitching up?"
27824Do you think there is, though?"
27824Do you think you will want me?"
27824Doctor,"he said, turning to Sartorius,"had you any suspicion that this young woman was addicted to the use of a drug?"
27824Does it shorten anyone''s life?
27824Esther saw the doctor give his friend a slow ruminative glance before inquiring:"Why do you want to get rid of it?"
27824For that matter-- why, what about that smell of tobacco in her room?
27824Fresh terror assailed her, she felt herself caught in a trap.... What was this Roger was saying?
27824Going for a walk?"
27824Going on as usual?"
27824Got any aspirin?"
27824Got any lemons?"
27824Had Aline connived at her escape?
27824Had Chalmers really telephoned him?
27824Had a good crossing, sir?"
27824Had anything happened?
27824Had he been a fool all along, completely wrong in his estimate of this girl?
27824Had he been offering an explanation in case she had overheard?
27824Had he departed, or was he still standing there, searching for her?
27824Had he done it in order that later the eye- witnesses could recall every detail and make it appear like a purely accidental seizure?
27824Had he experienced a change of heart, and was he feeling apologetic about it?
27824Had he heard whispered voices?
27824Had he noticed anything?
27824Had n''t the doctor repeatedly warned him of the danger he was running?
27824Had not Lady Clifford said something about a visit to a fortune- teller of some sort?
27824Had she been too optimistic?
27824Had she done it to throw dust in the eyes of his sister and himself, so that she could the more safely indulge her friendship with Captain Holliday?
27824Had she done that in order to blind him the more completely to what was going on?
27824Had she hit him?
27824Had she made a bad impression on the man?
27824Had the doctor already reached the Villa Firenze?
27824Had the nurse come to, and was she able to talk yet?
27824Had the old man heard?
27824Hands?
27824Has Roger come back?
27824Has anything been heard of the doctor, by the way?"
27824Has the doctor bandaged his hand yet?''"
27824Have n''t you had your nap?"
27824Have you any friends here?"
27824Have you done anything else?"
27824Have you ever heard of anyone having''confusional attacks''?"
27824Have you thought to look?"
27824He appeared to have forgotten the subject, but presently he roused himself to reply:"Eh?
27824He began feeling in his pocket for a cigarette, adding as an after- thought,"I suppose you''ve made up your mind about it?"
27824He examined it closely, then as gently as possible unfastened the coat and slipped it down from the shoulder.... What was this?
27824He is, as you say, getting on nicely, quite safely?"
27824He knew he could never rid his mind entirely of the suspicion she had planted there, yet how to prove it?
27824He resumed frowningly:"I suppose you have no idea why she went off so suddenly, have you, Chalmers?"
27824He was not curious about other people, why should they want to know about him?
27824He''ll use every weapon in his power, unless...""Unless what?"
27824He''s been feeling seedy for several days, have n''t you, Charlie?"
27824Hein?
27824Her curtains had not been drawn, and for a few seconds he could see her silhouette framed in the window.... What was she thinking?
27824Holliday?
27824How could he refuse without giving the old man some hint of his feelings regarding Thérèse?
27824How could he wilfully distort facts in this barefaced way?
27824How could one know the truth?
27824How could one suspect her?
27824How could she get away?"
27824How could she have shut her eyes to the facts?
27824How could she occupy her mind for a little?
27824How could she tell if they had already overcome his prejudice?
27824How could she tell?
27824How could that be?
27824How could you?"
27824How did he come into it?
27824How did she get on with her temperamental sister- in- law?
27824How did that poor creature get here, and in such a state?
27824How did this idea come to you?"
27824How did you manage it?"
27824How do I know it is me you want, and not what you will get with me?"
27824How do I know"--he paused a moment, then continued slowly--"that you were not doing something to keep her unconscious?"
27824How do you mean?"
27824How does that strike you?
27824How explain her disappearance?
27824How good a chance do you think you''d have of proving your innocence?
27824How had she lost consciousness so completely, so instantaneously?
27824How in heaven''s name had the girl escaped?
27824How is it he has come back so much sooner than he expected and without letting us know?"
27824How long has she been so angelic?"
27824How many wives do you suppose are daily wishing their husbands would die?
27824How old are you?"
27824How on earth did he come into this?
27824How on earth did it get there?
27824How soon can you be ready?"
27824How''s she looking?"
27824How''s the great New World?"
27824Hypodermic needle?
27824I could n''t let you think of me as calculating, could I?
27824I daresay you have come to no conclusion as to her present state, doctor?"
27824I do n''t care about the doctor chap, he does n''t appear very sensitive, but that little day- nurse, for instance...""She is nice, is n''t she?
27824I do n''t suppose, in that case, you will want Sartorius?"
27824I do not understand... report?
27824I fancy some dirt or grit has got into it, and no wonder; still... will there be time to see to it before dinner?
27824I have n''t told you that yet, have I?"
27824I hope the doctor wo n''t object-- but why should he?
27824I remembered there was none in my room----""And why were you sure there was some here?
27824I say, will you let me call you by your first name?
27824I shall be wanted as a witness, sha''n''t I?
27824I suppose now we had better ask the doctor if we can tell Charles about Roger''s coming?"
27824I suppose there''s no hope whatever?"
27824I suppose you have no way of telling----?"
27824I suppose you''ll be off somewhere now?"
27824I suppose you''re dining here?"
27824I went up to my room to change, and, what do you think?
27824I wonder how he did it?"
27824I wonder if I ought to tell him you''re going?
27824I wonder if Thérèse has been taking care of him all this time?
27824I wonder if the son is there?
27824I wonder what has come over her?"
27824I wonder what we ought to do?
27824I''ve been here a week now, and I was going back to New York, only----""Well?"
27824I... Take him away, Roger, do you hear, do you see what he is doing?"
27824If Esther were my sister and went off like that, leaving no trace, would n''t you consider it serious?
27824If everything continues to go smoothly----""But why should n''t it, doctor?"
27824If she''s unconscious, why ca n''t she be left alone?"
27824If we do n''t take an interest in finding her, who will?
27824If what she had been thinking was really true, why was it that he wanted this particular needle back?
27824In her flurry she entered her brother''s bedroom without knocking, calling out:"Miss Rowe, can you come quickly?
27824In that case what should he do?
27824In this instance, was there a motive?
27824Inwardly she was asking herself:"What is the matter with me?
27824Is anything the matter?"
27824Is he still on the tapis?"
27824Is it your intention to go back at once to New York?"
27824Is n''t she dreadful?"
27824Is n''t that so?"
27824Is n''t that true?"
27824Is not that so?"
27824Is that a new gown?"
27824Is that quite clear?"
27824Is that right?"
27824Is the doctor getting the bandage ready for his hand?
27824Is there anything wrong with you this morning?"
27824Is there no other way, absolutely no other?
27824Is this the place where you are employed?"
27824Is your head still bad?"
27824It seemed to indicate that the pair of them were off somewhere together dining-- and after that, what?
27824It will be nice to see Mr. Roger, wo n''t it, miss?"
27824It would n''t bore you?"
27824It''s just as though something had warned him his father was ill.""How could anything possibly warn him of such a thing?"
27824Know anybody who wants a decent little car cheap?"
27824Lady Clifford inquired wearily:"Is there any change, nurse?"
27824Lady Clifford, what on earth are you doing?"
27824Listen, Roger, was that a car outside?"
27824Mastering himself with an effort and still holding Thérèse off with one arm he managed to ask evenly:"What gave you this idea, Chalmers?"
27824Might they not go on to the end of their days not knowing?
27824Must you go with this creature?"
27824My aunt says she used to look after that matter before my father was taken ill.""Who, Lady Clifford?
27824No doubt she had a perfectly good reason for being there, why not say so?
27824No wrap of any kind, nor a hat?"
27824No, Canadian, is it?
27824Not any kind of poison?"
27824Not readily would she forget those sharp accents of rage and-- was it fear?
27824Not surely anything to do with Sir Charles''s case, which was a straightforward affair?
27824Now, if you will assist Lady Clifford with her dress----""I suppose you give it in the thigh?"
27824Now... what was happening?
27824Of course she_ looks_ like something on the films, does n''t she?"
27824Of course, the whole thing was perfectly ridiculous; how could she ever have thought it for a moment?
27824Of what?
27824Oh, by the way-- did you happen to see these items in the Paris_ Daily Mail_?
27824Oh, what hope was there of deceiving those keen little python''s eyes?
27824Oh, why did no one come?
27824Oh, why would n''t he hurry?
27824On general principles, what would you advise?"
27824On n''a pas su-- on n''a pas regardé dehors-- là- bas----_""_ Comment?_"demanded Roger, frowning.
27824One has to decide, Am I worth the sacrifice of another human being?
27824Or could it be that she definitely wanted Esther out of the way?
27824Or had he been in it from the first?
27824Or had his feeling for her not risen above the plane of mild flirtation?
27824Or merely expressing aloud a general opinion regarding patients, all of whom he evidently held in scorn?
27824Or was it because the old man happened to resemble a certain young one?
27824Or was it better to continue her supine pretence and quietly allow the needle to reduce her once more to a merciful torpor?
27824Or was this a bold stratagem, to throw dust in his eyes?
27824Oui, c''est bien_--ah, yes, it is the Pharmacie Cailler, yes, yes.... What is it you say?
27824Particularly-- he winced at the thought-- what man who has money?
27824Perhaps you''d care to take on the job of day- nurse to him?"
27824Perhaps you''ve heard of the firm of Seabrook& Clifford?"
27824Perhaps, too, you''ll let the doctor advise you about that anti- toxin?
27824Praying?
27824Quick-- where could she hide?
27824Report of what?
27824Same room, I suppose?"
27824Sartorius?"
27824See here, Dido, do you think Thérèse was rude or anything?"
27824Shall I bring him something too, or shall I let him have it in the dining- room?"
27824Shall I give it to you?"
27824Shall I lend a hand to carry her in, sir?"
27824Shall I see, sir?"
27824Shall we go?"
27824She could picture the scornful indifference with which he would receive her communication, she could almost hear him say,"Well, what of it?
27824She gave me a sort of wild look, sir, then she says, half- choking like,''Chalmers, where''s Mr. Roger?
27824She opened her lips to speak, then heard herself saying quietly:"No, doctor, is n''t it odd?
27824She really did look ill."As soon as you are dressed, Lady Clifford, would you mind going in to Sir Charles?
27824She saw Charles...""Oh, she did, did she?"
27824She scarcely touches wine.... How exquisite she is-- don''t you think?
27824She was unprepared for the almost fierce way in which the other turned upon her, saying:"You think that too, do you?
27824She would do so at once.... And yet-- why reopen the matter?
27824Should she give way to the extravagance, or ought she to save her money?
27824Should she make a struggle for it and die fighting?
27824Sir Charles closed his eyes, then spoke without opening them:"Where''s Lady Clifford?"
27824So cautiously he said:"My dear, how was it you did n''t have anything to eat for two and a half days?
27824So few girls could achieve that...."Do you like dancing?"
27824So that was it?"
27824Something that fascinated and repelled... or am I merely imagining things?"
27824Stay-- was it because of Roger''s evident liking for her?
27824Still, it was unlike her, was n''t it?"
27824Still, there may be something I can do for the family, as I hear Clifford is on the sick list.... Is Sartorius still at the house?"
27824Stop anywhere, or go straight home?"
27824Such things do happen, why not to you?"
27824Suppose Roger had all the time been secretly fond of his stepmother-- too fond?
27824Suppose no one had been here?
27824Suppose, after all, you found he had altered his will?
27824Supposing the hideous affair to be true, was it not extremely doubtful that they would ever be able to prove it?
27824Surely you saw for yourself that the girl is out of her senses?"
27824Tell me frankly, do you think the doctor saw anything alarming in my brother''s symptoms?"
27824Tell me, Arthur darling-- what has she been saying to you?"
27824Tell me, dear, are there any proofs of this horrible story?
27824Tell me-- since she keeps on about that anti- toxin stuff-- would you have it, or would n''t you?"
27824That cigarette- tip with its scarlet edge uncurled-- had her companion associated it with anyone in particular?
27824That corner, for instance-- delightful, do n''t you think?"
27824That is a surprise, is n''t it, Chalmers?"
27824That looks as though he''d never got our cable, does n''t it?
27824That meant it had run down, for she had wound it at a quarter to one-- was it yesterday?
27824The awful idea came to him that she might be dead from shock and weakness.... Why was Chalmers so long over getting the brandy?
27824The point is, why should she have to invent an excuse for being in my room?
27824The second retorted promptly,"Why should it be nonsense?
27824Then he saw her?"
27824Then it was my running off to help Mr. Clifford that was wrong, not losing the needle?"
27824Then she spoke impulsively:"Roger-- do you mind?
27824Then supposing I came straight back from the courts after lunch, would you care to come for a drive with me?
27824Then what happened?
27824Then with an air of great philosophy he replied:"_ Ça marche plus._""_ Comment?_"she screamed at him, although she had heard only too well.
27824Then you do n''t trust me?"
27824Then you only have to leave Clifford alone and let the disease take its course, I suppose?"
27824Then you''ve talked to Miss Rowe, sir?"
27824Then, after a pause, he inquired casually, but in a faintly altered tone:"And how is She?"
27824Then:"You say he had his milk regularly-- the pint and a half a day?"
27824There''s always a chance, is n''t there?"
27824There''s nothing to be got out of you, is there?"
27824This is the patient, I suppose?"
27824This middle one is a sort of boudoir or sitting- room-- it is really Lady Clifford''s, but I use it, too.... Are you there, Thérèse?"
27824Three times she lowered the hook, three times she raised it to find herself still listening to the idiotic babble--"_Tu ne m''aimes pas?
27824Touch of''flu?
27824Usually, I mean?"
27824Warn him?
27824Was Esther in plain language"that kind of girl"?
27824Was Esther''s dread of this man purely the creation of a disordered brain?
27824Was another murder in progress?
27824Was everything as she had left it?
27824Was he disturbed about something?
27824Was he examining it?
27824Was he going to despise himself later on?
27824Was he in the plot?"
27824Was he keeping something back?
27824Was he, too, an intended victim?
27824Was it a hypodermic syringe?
27824Was it a python after all?
27824Was it after_ the_ injection?"
27824Was it because she had been thinking of that snake episode of her childhood?
27824Was it mere accident that her last sentence had sounded so astonishingly rational?
27824Was it possible she had been afraid to have him in the house?
27824Was it possible she was as fond of the old man as the night- nurse believed?
27824Was it possible she was guilty of the cold- blooded act Esther had accused her of?
27824Was it possible she was lying?
27824Was it possible that those red dots on her arm furnished the answer?
27824Was it possible, after all her theorising, that what the doctor had been so disturbed about was this actual needle itself?
27824Was it the exact hue of the familiar mixture?
27824Was it then that the doctor had a sort of fixation on the subject of precision, that she had unknowingly offended him in a vulnerable spot?
27824Was it true she had staggered in so drunk she could n''t see proper, and had fallen in a heap on the floor?
27824Was it within her own brain?
27824Was n''t it better that there should be peace in the house instead of an armed neutrality?
27824Was n''t it possible that from the beginning she had cherished a hidden penchant for the callous Arthur?
27824Was n''t it stupid?
27824Was n''t it stupid?"
27824Was n''t there a brandy- bottle somewhere?
27824Was not that the python''s method, making a hearty meal of sheep, then lying by for a long period until he had absorbed it completely?
27824Was she ill?
27824Was she ill?"
27824Was she simply like so many others, possessed of two sides, one which she kept for him, and the other, perhaps, not quite so restrained?
27824Was she, after all, technically innocent, able to prove the fact?
27824Was she, too, one of the many women who fell victims to Arthur''s charm?
27824Was that a car starting?"
27824Was that all?
27824Was that the bell?"
27824Was the mislaying of a hypodermic needle such a heinous offence?
27824Was the old man ill-- or was n''t he?
27824Was there anything she could do?
27824Was this a diabolical plan for getting even?
27824Was this a providential respite, or only another tantalising false hope?
27824Was this all part of some scheme on Thérèse''s part to allow her time to get away?
27824Was this right?
27824Was this the result of flattered vanity?
27824We----""Who is we?"
27824Well, I suppose there''s no accounting for these things, is there?"
27824Well, and what seems to be the trouble?"
27824Well, who''d have thought anyone so useful could look like that?
27824Were you bothered about something?"
27824What about a simple Bronx to start with?
27824What about her conviction that someone had gone through her things?
27824What about it?"
27824What about that cablegram which was never sent?
27824What about that chemist?
27824What are you getting at?"
27824What are you going to do about me?"
27824What can you do on a ranch?
27824What can you show me?"
27824What conclusion did you come to in regard to my stepmother and me?"
27824What could I say?
27824What could have given her this idea?
27824What could have possessed her to venture out at night and into the rain as well, clad in the filmy, perishable gown and in her stocking- feet?
27824What could it be this time, and at this early hour?
27824What could it be, then?
27824What could it have been?
27824What course ought she to pursue?
27824What did he mean?
27824What did he say?
27824What did he think was wrong about Miss Rowe?"
27824What did it mean?
27824What did it mean?
27824What did she think of her really?
27824What did you tell her?"
27824What did you think of her-- how did she strike you?"
27824What did you think you heard?"
27824What difference could it make now if they knew she had been awake?
27824What difference could it make?
27824What do you mean by a terrible time trying to reach me?"
27824What do you mean by that, Esther?"
27824What do you mean?
27824What do you mean?"
27824What do you mean?"
27824What do you say?"
27824What do you take me for?"
27824What do you think?"
27824What do you think?"
27824What do you want me to think?"
27824What exactly had Miss Rowe said?
27824What exactly was it she felt about him?
27824What first put the suspicion into your head that there was something not quite straight about my father''s illness?"
27824What for?"
27824What had brought about this change for the worse in such a short space of time?
27824What had come over him?
27824What had happened to her to give her that pinched look?
27824What had happened?
27824What had happened?
27824What had prompted the dream?
27824What has happened?"
27824What have I got, doctor?
27824What have you done about him?"
27824What have you done with it?"
27824What if Roger did not arrive after all?
27824What if Thérèse had had another and more vital reason than he had thought of for keeping him away?
27824What if he goes to the police?"
27824What if it was true that Lady Clifford was_ afraid_ to have her in the house?
27824What if she had made a mistake, what if she had invented it out of mischief?
27824What if the prayers of the wife had in some way_ wished_ an illness upon the unsuspecting old man?
27824What if the same sudden thing should happen again?
27824What if the woman had led them hither in order to leave the lower regions unguarded?
27824What in heaven''s name did it mean?
27824What in heaven''s name ought she to do?
27824What is it, this job you speak of?"
27824What is it?"
27824What is she-- a daughter- in- law?
27824What is the creature talking about I should like to know?"
27824What is the meaning of this?"
27824What is your address?"
27824What is your address?"
27824What on earth can we do for her?"
27824What on earth did it mean?
27824What ought she to say to him?
27824What possessed the poor little creature?
27824What right have you got to order me out of this house?"
27824What shall we do?"
27824What shop?"
27824What then could be the reason?
27824What then?"
27824What then?"
27824What was her plan?
27824What was his practice like, if indeed he had any?
27824What was it Holliday wanted?
27824What was it about them that was different, that filled her with a mixture of fascination and repugnance?
27824What was it all about?
27824What was it she had often heard?
27824What was it she had thought as she listened to the subdued, eager voice?
27824What was it she meant?
27824What was it the night- nurse had said to her the evening before?
27824What was it?
27824What was it?
27824What was it?
27824What was it?
27824What was it?
27824What was one to make of that fact?
27824What was she able to say, what dared she say?
27824What was she afraid of, wondered Esther?
27824What was she saying?
27824What was that?"
27824What was the Thing thus crushing her?
27824What was the fellow up to?
27824What was the man getting at?
27824What was the meaning of this sudden reconciliation?
27824What was this man plotting now?
27824What was this new bottle?
27824What was this noise outside the door?
27824What was this she was saying about Holliday?
27824What was this terrible idea that obsessed her?
27824What was this?
27824What was to be done?
27824What was to prevent her telephoning?
27824What were the two men made of?
27824What were they going to tell him?
27824What''s the fool about?"
27824What''s the matter with him?"
27824Whatever do you mean by it?"
27824Whatever had induced him to do this?
27824When did you come?"
27824When do you want me?"
27824When the front door banged Roger spoke:"Then you''ve met that fellow before?"
27824Where could she have put the wretched thing?
27824Where did you train?"
27824Where do you think?
27824Where had she seen him?
27824Where had she seen them before?
27824Where is the syringe?"
27824Where was it?"
27824Where was the thing kept?
27824Where?
27824Who at this particular moment was in such a hurry to enter?
27824Who can prove how he got the infection?
27824Who could say what might happen once she got away?
27824Who is she?
27824Who outside the family would take enough interest?
27824Who was this exquisite creature, French, but with an English name?
27824Who would want to?"
27824Who''ll keep me if I want to go?"
27824Who, what were these people?
27824Why could n''t the woman leave her poor husband alone?
27824Why could n''t you have him arrested at once, both of them for that matter?
27824Why did he ask her that?
27824Why did n''t you cable?"
27824Why did n''t you say so before?"
27824Why did n''t you?"
27824Why did she show no sign of reviving?
27824Why did you think that?"
27824Why do n''t you answer?
27824Why do n''t you go to a nursing- home for a bit?"
27824Why does she want you if not for herself?
27824Why else should she go on having him here?
27824Why had his father forced this irksome duty upon him?
27824Why had it all been so thrilling?
27824Why had she sent him that urgent message, only to hurry away before he could possibly get downstairs to see her?
27824Why had the fellow kept quiet?
27824Why not wait a bit?"
27824Why on earth did he take that suspicious attitude?
27824Why on earth did she make such an inane reply?
27824Why on earth were French sheets so many yards long?
27824Why should Esther be immune from suspicion?
27824Why should I worry?"
27824Why should his temperature go up like that?
27824Why should n''t you feel like that?
27824Why should not he ask her to come out with him one evening to sample a little of the night- life of Cannes?
27824Why should you upset yourself like this?"
27824Why the elaborate pretence of caring for her husband, brought to the point of preparing his milk for him?
27824Why was he hanging about in that way?
27824Why was it the man affected her in this oppressive fashion?
27824Why was it?
27824Why was n''t he thankful?
27824Why was she gazing in that way at him and at Esther?
27824Why were her eyes widened in that fashion?
27824Why were they still lingering here?
27824Why were you trying to throw it away?"
27824Why will they make bottles that one ca n''t open?"
27824Why wo n''t you go to bed and stay there till you''re better?
27824Why, I thought they were on the best of terms?
27824Why, for that matter, was she in such a rush to be off that she had accepted Holliday''s offer of a lift?
27824Why, if there was nothing in it, did he examine him so carefully just now, paying special attention to his face and jaw?
27824Why, in spite of all, did he shrink from that scent?
27824Why, last night she... what was it?
27824Why, may I ask, did you take up nursing?"
27824Why, what does this mean?"
27824Why, what is the matter?
27824Why, what man would dare to do such a thing?
27824Why?
27824Why?
27824Why?"
27824Why?"
27824Will you alter the amount?
27824Will you chance left- handed driving and come for a spin?"
27824Will you hold your hand over this newspaper while I fetch some water and bandages?"
27824Will you leave us alone?"
27824Will you promise to marry me, at once, before this beastly trial comes on?"
27824With Sartorius, I mean?"
27824With a_ pigeon en cocotte_ to follow?"
27824Would Holliday by any chance mention to the doctor that he had run into her coming out of a chemist''s shop?
27824Would Holliday hear?
27824Would he notice anything wrong?
27824Would it be very far out of our way if we went to the doctor''s villa in the Route de Grasse?
27824Would n''t it be better to choose someone outside the family?"
27824Would they like me to come?"
27824Would they make any attempt to escape, or would they brazen it out till the last?
27824Would they miss her at the villa-- Miss Clifford or Roger?
27824Would you care to?"
27824Would you like to see her?"
27824Yet in his unhappy brain, buzzing now with fever, a voice sardonically demanded,"What man ever does really know a girl?"
27824Yet surely she had been here more than, say, half an hour?
27824Yet was there so great a risk?
27824Yet what ought one to do?
27824Yet what was there strange in Lady Clifford''s taking a short stroll with her private physician?
27824Yet why?
27824Yet why?
27824Yet, admitting this, what could be wrong?
27824You are English, monsieur?"
27824You are still sure he did n''t communicate with her ladyship at all?"
27824You did n''t let him put anything on it?"
27824You did n''t see me at that time, did you?
27824You do n''t imagine I''d choose to bury myself in a rotten hole like that, do you?"
27824You do n''t mean it?
27824You do n''t mean she''s left us?
27824You do understand my being so nervous, do n''t you?"
27824You know how just as she was leaving she sent you that message?
27824You remember Arthur Holliday?"
27824You remember Fleurestine?"
27824You remember you saw her at the doctor''s the other day?"
27824You say she will have to be studied?"
27824You would n''t think an odour could be so lasting, would you?"
27824You''ll be careful, wo n''t you?"
27824You''re quite sure it was sent?"
27824You''ve not been here before, have you?
27824You-- where have you come from?"
27824_ C''est madame la?_"he whispered hoarsely.
27824_ If nothing prevented_: would Roger try to stop her going?
27824_ Naturellement!_""S''sh, Thérèse, for God''s sake----""Well, is n''t it true?
27824_ Qu''est- ce qu''il y a?_"she cried, ready to shake him.
27824_ You_ would not be frightened for him?"
27824how had she come by it?
27824how should he behave?
27824nurse, what are you about?"
27824what was going on in that brain, which he now felt he had never understood?
27824what was there about it?
41187A crack regiment, was it not?
41187Ah, but you had later on?
41187Ah, then, he had some doubts himself?
41187Ah, then, you have some knowledge of something: your visit to me has been leading up to this, eh?
41187And I suppose, sir, you will have the body exhumed, for the purpose of discovering who the man really was?
41187And I take it you would give heaven and earth to get out of this environment?
41187And Miss Keane was an inmate of this suspicious household?
41187And have you thought of what is to become of me when I am turned out of my husband''s house?
41187And how did the family take it?
41187And how did you get on with the brother?
41187And how have you been getting on, Iris? 41187 And now, Mr Bryant, have you any knowledge of what has become of them?
41187And now, Mr Davis, the name of the man whom your sister met in the empty house?
41187And the girl, is she really his sister?
41187And were you attracted, too, by this formidable young lady, Major Murchison?
41187And what are your plans?
41187And what did you do after that night at Blankfield? 41187 And what do you suggest now?"
41187And what do you suggest, George? 41187 And what has become of Roddie?"
41187And what the deuce do you mean by saying that you might be implicated?
41187And what took place at that meeting?
41187And when did Tommie Esmond appear on the scene?
41187And when did you part with the so- called brother, George Burton?
41187And when did you take to this game?
41187And who are you, please?
41187And why for your sake? 41187 And why not?
41187And you have not seen him since that day?
41187And you made a fortune, I suppose?
41187And you recollect, sir, what happened a short time ago with regard to the crime of which Reginald Davis was accused?
41187And you think, with me, it was a murder, and not a suicide?
41187And you will bring it here?
41187And your friend Captain Murchison, will he come, too?
41187And, I suppose, you will still cast in your lot with her?
41187Are they alone, Robert?
41187Are they what they represent themselves to be, brother and sister?
41187As Mr Pomfret and I have been such wanderers, would it not be nice to celebrate our return? 41187 At your hotel, then, I suppose?"
41187But how long ago is that? 41187 But it does n''t help you much, eh?"
41187But the brother, what about him?
41187But was there not a great risk of detection? 41187 But you are happy here, surely?"
41187But you were his decoy, if not his confederate, in the gambling- saloon in Paris?
41187But you were prepared to chuck Roddie for that?
41187But, after all, I do n''t think I should have cared to be in the line; there''s not the same glamour about it, is there? 41187 But, surely, you must have some happy memories?
41187Can you bring some of your brother officers, Mr Pomfret? 41187 Can you stop as easily when you are winning?
41187Did any suspicions attach to her?
41187Did you enjoy your visit?
41187Did you ever come across a cousin of hers there, a man named Dutton?
41187Did you ever learn anything of her origin?
41187Did you get a good price?
41187Did you hear any extracts read from the diary?
41187Do n''t you consider it a splendid life?
41187Do they want to knock the house down?
41187Do you know the name of the man?
41187Do you know what has become of him?
41187Do you see much of her?
41187Do you smoke, Miss Burton?
41187Does she ever play? 41187 Does the young lady play?"
41187Evidence of what?
41187Good,said Bryant;"and what did you know about the girl?"
41187Hardly worth the candle, is it?
41187Has Miss Keane many admirers? 41187 Has she asked your advice?"
41187Have you any idea how far the thing has gone?
41187How can any girl smoke a cigarette gracefully? 41187 How can you be implicated in the murder of the unknown man whom Carrie mistook for me?"
41187How could you have murdered him when you were at Brighton all the time?
41187How dare you say that?
41187How did you find that out?
41187How did you get on with the charmer? 41187 How does Mrs L''Estrange take it?"
41187I believe I have the pleasure of addressing Captain Murchison?
41187I fancy you come from two different classes?
41187I hope you have helped yourself?
41187I say, they''ve turned it into a very decent sort of little crib, have n''t they? 41187 I suppose he has been on the` crook''all his life?"
41187If I am prepared to risk my aunt''s displeasure, you can surely afford to risk your brother''s?
41187If I can prove that they are meeting on the sly it will strengthen my hands, eh?
41187In other words, George Burton?
41187In other words, if you had been in her place, you would have preferred to live on the earnings of a rogue?
41187In what way?
41187Is Miss Keane in? 41187 Is Mrs L''Estrange at home?"
41187Is the man''s name really Burton, or only an alias?
41187Is there any pain?
41187Is there much cheating going on at Elsinore Gardens?
41187It''s an interesting suggestion, Tommy, but before I decide tell me first-- who is Mrs L''Estrange, and secondly, who and what is Miss Keane?
41187Major Murchison, are you not saying a little too much in presuming to place me on the level of the adventuress you have spoken of? 41187 May I introduce my cousin, Mr Dutton?"
41187May I take the liberty of detaining you for a few moments longer, sir, to impress upon you the importance of having that body exhumed? 41187 Most excellent Tommy, how many times have I heard you say the same thing?
41187Not a sportsman, I suppose, he does n''t care for hunting or shooting? 41187 Now what do you really know about Miss Keane?"
41187Now, Captain Murchison, may I ask you if your friend is a man likely to fall into the trap? 41187 Of my having met Tommie Esmond at Charing Cross Station?
41187Oh, you poor weak soul, you were so near it as that?
41187Quite the same sort, do you think?
41187Roddie who, dear? 41187 Seems a reliable sort of chap, does n''t he?
41187Shall we have coffee in the drawing- room? 41187 She acted, I suppose, as a decoy and confederate?"
41187She did n''t suspect anything, then?
41187She was supposed to be a well- bred woman, was she not?
41187Suicide, was n''t it?
41187Suppose I made you the same offer, what is your answer?
41187Suppose a woman friend offered to lend you five hundred pounds, to enable you to get clear of this stifling atmosphere, what would you say? 41187 That means that you feel happy to- night, eh?"
41187Then why has he gone to your husband?
41187Then you advise me to call, and be introduced to the brother, eh?
41187They go to pieces in thunderstorms and air- raids, do n''t they?
41187They were friends of Mrs L''Estrange?
41187Was it a nice place?
41187We are really coming to it now, then?
41187We neither of us want to hang for the murder of Hugh Murchison?
41187Well, Jack, are you in a mood to listen to my news?
41187Well, my man, what do you want with me? 41187 Well, what do you think of her?
41187Were you not dreadfully shocked when he told you, for of course he must have told you, how we got to know each other?
41187What age do you guess me, Spencer?
41187What can I do, Mr Spencer? 41187 What do you know of Number 10 Cathcart Square, except what you gleaned from the newspapers?"
41187What do you mean?
41187What do you say to joining the others? 41187 What do you think of her?"
41187What is his offence?
41187What is the mystery of the bounder cousin? 41187 What made you come here, if it is not a rude question?"
41187What was your own opinion about it? 41187 What''s up, Tommy?
41187When do you suggest we should put in an appearance at Mrs L''Estrange''s?
41187When does Jack arrive, not too soon, I hope?
41187Who cares a fig for the Blankfield people? 41187 Who the devil is that?"
41187Why are you asking these questions?
41187Why should I wait to hear? 41187 Why?"
41187Will they?
41187Would you like to know something of my history, or would you like to kick me out at once, and have done with it?
41187You and Captain Murchison are very great friends, are you not?
41187You are brave, old girl?
41187You do n''t mean to say he has asked you to marry him?
41187You do n''t mean to say you have n''t heard of Blankfield?
41187You do n''t think your aunt would reduce your allowance if you left the army?
41187You have money, I suppose, something put by out of your-- your winnings?
41187You have never seen him before, Miles? 41187 You like my friend Murchison, then?
41187You propose that we should carry out our original intention of dining there and of sitting at the table of a criminal? 41187 You say that the man was so like you that the sister, who had known you from childhood, was ready to swear he was her brother?"
41187You would do this for me?
41187You''re an old hand, then? 41187 You''re paid to look after this house, are n''t you?
41187Your idea is to turn her out of her husband''s house, with or without scandal?
41187Your opinion is, then, that the man found in Number 10 Cathcart Square was Hugh Murchison?
41187` You have absolutely made up your mind to do this, for the reasons you have given?'' 41187 A somewhat strange omission for a man in his position, was it not? 41187 After all, had he not rescued her, half dead with fright, in the dining- room of theExcelsior?"
41187After taking his seven thousand pounds, I could not break faith with Hugh, could I?"
41187All her friends declared her not only to be amiable, but"so sensible?"
41187Always floating on the top as usual?"
41187And did they know the Major was alone?
41187And how did he know his name was Murchison?
41187And how was the actual murder accomplished?
41187And if he did, why had he not said so?
41187And if it were so, what was his duty?
41187And now for your great news, what are they?
41187And now what would you advise me to do?
41187And what did Miss Keane think of it all?
41187And what happened to the girl?
41187And where is that?"
41187And yet could he be sure?
41187And yet, was it all just a little too good to be quite true?
41187And yet, why was she not in a better environment?
41187And yet-- and yet-- was there anything in these suspicions?
41187Any fresh light upon this terrible thing?"
41187Are you going to leave yourself in my hands?
41187Are you really going?"
41187As a matter of course, you intend to turn me out of my husband''s house?"
41187But I suppose you feel a bit too shattered, eh?
41187But did you ever come across a man named George Burton, and a young woman who passed as his sister?
41187But how had they killed him?
41187But there is some stumbling- block in the way, is n''t there?"
41187But was she as genuine and frank as she seemed?
41187But was there anything remarkable in that?
41187But why does he not take one attitude or the other?
41187But why enter an empty house, where there was nothing to steal except the heavy furniture left by the late tenant, a Mr Washington, who was abroad?
41187But why painful to me?
41187By the way, have you any objection to taking me up to call with you, when you go?
41187By the way, that letter found on the poor chap, announcing his intention to commit suicide, did they ask you to identify my handwriting?
41187Ca n''t you understand that he wants to warn him beforehand of the shame that is going to fall upon him, the discovery that his wife is a murderess?"
41187Can you recommend me to a private detective?"
41187Can you throw your mind back to a certain gruesome affair that happened at 10 Cathcart Square?"
41187Captain Murchison, will you kindly ring the bell?"
41187Could he count upon an equal fortitude in her?
41187Davis rose and gave a great shout:"You have witnesses who can swear to that?"
41187Did I exaggerate?"
41187Did I lose my hundred and fifty, or whatever it was, quite honestly?"
41187Did Tommy Esmond know as much as this?
41187Did he come here often?
41187Did she desire to know as much of his past as he desired to know of hers?
41187Did they ask you to identify that particular letter?"
41187Did you lose much?
41187Did you play at the same table with Tommy Esmond?
41187Did your companions desert you?"
41187Do n''t people strike up acquaintances in hotels, and sometimes trains?"
41187Do n''t you think you could soothe your nerves better by getting back to your laboratory, or whatever you call it?"
41187Do you admit,"he cried vehemently,"that George Burton and George Dutton are one and the same?"
41187Do you know anything about her yourself?"
41187Do you know anything about his sister, Miss Burton?"
41187Do you remember a little chap named Esmond, who used to go about everywhere?"
41187Do you think I do n''t see that you are trying to draw me?
41187Do you think, in a few words, that Stella Spencer is a good and straight woman in the general sense in which we understand the expression?"
41187Does Guy know what other people do not know, and is he keeping his mouth shut?
41187Had Mrs Spencer tried to take the wind out of his sails by volunteering some plausible explanation about her meeting with Esmond?
41187Had he brought a servant with him?
41187Had he by chance spotted those two strangers in the High Street, and wondered what manner of men they were?
41187Had he not alluded to a well- born cousin, beside whom Burton shone as a polished gentleman?
41187Had they gone to Cathcart Square together, or had Burton followed her, getting in by means of that broken window- pane at the back?
41187Had you any suspicions they were rooking you?"
41187Have you anything more to say?
41187Have you seen Mr Esmond lately?
41187Have you signed any document about that seven hundred, by the way?"
41187He held several threads in his capable hands, but would he be able to weave them into a net wide enough for his purpose?
41187He lowered his voice to a confidential whisper:"What about that young chap yonder?
41187He was very weak; had the occurrences of this terrible night driven him over the border- line that separates sanity from insanity?
41187He whispered back:"What did I tell you a little time ago?
41187His surprise expressed itself in the direct question which he shot at the detective:"I take it you are here to arrest them, then?"
41187How are you going to dig yourself and me out of this hole, in the face of that incriminating diary?"
41187How can I thank you?"
41187How could this imperial- looking girl have such an unmitigated bounder for a relative?
41187How did you do it?
41187How did you manage it, old man?"
41187How is it that you have learned to control your feelings so successfully?"
41187How is it you are alone?
41187How long?
41187How much is it?
41187How was it possible for a refined young woman to ever look forward to the visits of a person like Mr Dutton, cousin though he might be?
41187How were Esmond and his partner found out?"
41187I do n''t know if you have ever heard of him?"
41187I do n''t suppose you have ever heard of her?"
41187I flatter myself I am a fairly good bridge- player, but what could one do with those cards of mine?"
41187I may call you Stella, may I not?
41187I mean he has not called to look over the house or anything?"
41187I suggest Tuesday if that will suit you?"
41187I suppose he is a frequent visitor?"
41187I suppose he''s rolling in money, too?"
41187I suppose it would be too unkind to assume that Guy had gone off his head?"
41187I suppose you have a bank?"
41187I suppose you will come quietly?"
41187I suppose you would back me up by saying that you have recognised her and this scoundrel who was yesterday her brother and is to- day her cousin?"
41187I wonder how long he has been away?
41187If I tell you what I do know, am I letting myself in for anything?"
41187If he addressed a remark to her, would she snub him?
41187If she, with all her advantages of birth and connection, had fallen by the wayside, why not a comparatively obscure person like Mrs L''Estrange?
41187In that case, old chap, you would n''t handle much personally, would you?"
41187In that last interview with Mrs Spencer, had he let out the fact that he had given the caretaker a holiday, so that they should not be disturbed?
41187Is it likely anybody will come forward now?
41187Is n''t it silly?"
41187Is she very bewitching?"
41187It has not occurred to you that we were rather rushed into this dinner, then-- that we were, so to speak, jumped at?"
41187It was after a short silence that Miss Keane put a somewhat abrupt question to him:"Are you fond of play, Mr Spencer?
41187It''s a fair cop, is n''t it?
41187It''s not the first time you''ve cheated?"
41187Let me see, when was it?"
41187Loving wife or consummate actress, which was she?
41187Now arose the question, had the Major got through his business with the Spencers before the fourth of July?
41187Now, how comes it that such a refined and ladylike girl as that should have such a bounder of a brother?
41187Now, on the day preceding and the day following that tragedy, can you prove where you were?"
41187Now, what do you know about this cousin, Dutton?"
41187Of course she knew he was flattering her to obtain his purpose; but then-- was the most sensible woman absolutely impervious to flattery?
41187Of course you have heard?
41187Of what do you accuse me?"
41187On the other hand, was he justified in criticising?
41187Please forgive my blunt language, but it is so, is it not?"
41187Shall we say Monday?"
41187Shall we walk down to the Club to get a breath of fresh air, and turn in there for a quiet smoke?"
41187She was quite certain that the body was that of her brother, Reginald Davis?
41187So you went on with it after his death?"
41187Surely there was no tragedy to follow such a delightful wooing?"
41187That is true, is it not?"
41187The detective might be watching her, but did it matter?
41187The next question was who was the murderer, and what was the motive for committing the murder?
41187There was a little pause, and then Murchison spoke in his stern, inflexible voice:"And how long is it since you saw George Burton?"
41187There were gleams of brightness in your childhood?"
41187Was he not allowing himself to be misled by a chance resemblance, by random coincidences?
41187Was it an accident?"
41187Was it wise to pursue the acquaintance, with the pretty certain result of intensifying the interest he already felt in her?
41187Was she arrested, too?"
41187Was she fond of money, he wondered?
41187Was there a chance that I could still keep on, that through his assistance I could find a decently paid occupation?
41187Was there any doubt, thought Spencer, that the little man was tremendously smitten by the beautiful Miss Keane?
41187Was there any need of caution now?
41187Was there any reason why he should not forestall that period by the rather daring expedient of a secret marriage?
41187Was this fat, comical- looking little man, a most unromantic figure, violently in love with Miss Stella Keane, and her sworn champion?
41187We will call together, and in the meantime we will keep it from the other fellows?"
41187Well, Hughie, what are you going to do about the invitation?"
41187Well, what action are you going to take?
41187Well, what do you advise me to do?"
41187Well, you''ve made up your mind to go then?"
41187Were there any other members of the family who could support her in her identification?
41187What am I to do?
41187What could they say to this dreadful person who seemed so utterly lacking in all the qualities of good breeding?
41187What could you turn your hand to?"
41187What did it matter what she paid to- night?
41187What did this confession mean?
41187What did you make of your chance?"
41187What do you mean by saying that, if further investigations are made, you might be dragged in?"
41187What do you say to a game at bridge?"
41187What do you suggest?"
41187What does it matter to you who the man was?
41187What effect would they have upon the unsuspicious Jack?
41187What evil fate dogged her that she had to regard a perfectly common act of kindness as something to be exceptionally grateful for?
41187What folly will not a certain type of man commit for the sake of a pretty woman?
41187What had happened?
41187What have you done with them?
41187What in the name of wonder is the matter?"
41187What is he supposed to be, if he has any profession beyond that of his intense bounderism?"
41187What is her position there: paid companion, a passing guest, or does she share the flat with her cousin on some sort of terms?"
41187What is your favourite game?"
41187What tragedy of circumstance had driven this apparently light- hearted, butterfly little creature to such crooked ways?
41187What was the mystery about her that could make a creature like this claim kinship with her?
41187What was there behind?
41187What we want to know is, how did you come to be acquainted with the house?
41187What''s the use of blinking the fact?
41187When was that-- how long ago?
41187Where did you spend the night?"
41187Where do they meet?"
41187Where were we to meet to discuss details?
41187Where were you all last night I should like to know?
41187Who is it you want to ask me about?"
41187Who was the poor devil who killed himself there?
41187Why did you not follow us?
41187Why should you, the old friend of my husband, be the bitter enemy of his innocent wife?"
41187Why the deuce should this agent of the police want to accost him?
41187Why were there people, he wondered, whom you instinctively wanted to kick, for no apparently sufficient reason?
41187Will it suit you?"
41187Will that content you?"
41187Will you agree to look upon me as a friend?"
41187Will you be kind enough to listen to my miserable history?"
41187Will you both come to dinner to- night, and we can relate our experiences?"
41187Will you kindly step in, sir, and I will find out if she can see you?"
41187Will you take that refusal as the answer you really want?"
41187Would Major Murchison care to see him?
41187Would her fascination be strong enough to conquer his better judgment?
41187Would it result in a marriage, he wondered?
41187Would you like to hear the true history of that?"
41187Would you like to know the reason?"
41187You are Miss Burton, are you not?
41187You are quite sure the last occasion on which you saw him was a few days before the discovery of the body?"
41187You have a deep interest in the matter for the sake of the Southleigh family, eh?"
41187You know Elsinore Gardens, Mrs L''Estrange''s flat?"
41187You remember that, of course?"
41187You see a great difference between us, do n''t you?"
41187You understand?
41187` I wonder whether you would care to become a partner in my business?''
41130A false name and address, of course?
41130An extraordinary house, Johnson-- eh?
41130And he resolved to say good- bye to the Bar and devote himself entirely to politics?
41130And he was not the swarthy, thick- set young man who had gone to Horsham?
41130And her ladyship?
41130And his name?
41130And how long would that be?
41130And that little thing?
41130And the next step when you got to London?
41130And the portrait of Lady Gladys that was sent me? 41130 And the solution?"
41130And their motive?
41130And what became of Mr Monkton that night?
41130And what can I do for you, Mr Wingate?
41130And what then?
41130And when did he retire from his profession?
41130And when was it that you went to Forest View, and masqueraded in the guise of a parlourmaid?
41130And who was the instigator?
41130And whose was the devilish mind that conceived this awful thing, and what was the motive?
41130And you are quite positive it was Mr Monkton?
41130And you went?
41130Any chance of getting a peep at a photograph of her ladyship?
41130Any message, sir?
41130Are you quite certain? 41130 But on what charge?"
41130But who could have sent it? 41130 But why do you ask that question?"
41130But would that be impossible?
41130But you have something more to tell me, surely?
41130But, dearest, what was his motive for such a dastardly deed?
41130By whom were those instructions given?
41130Can not a statesman, worn out and weary with hard work, take a brief holiday without letting loose all these absurd rumours?
41130Can you account for his repeating the word` Moly''before he died?
41130Can you describe this visitor to me?
41130Can you give me a description of the person who bought them?
41130Can you give me any clue to these letters on the envelope, I wonder?
41130Can you recall any occasion on which he failed to notify you?
41130Dearest, if I have been able to comfort you now, could you let me comfort and cherish you all my life? 41130 Did he give you the impression of a man of means?"
41130Did n''t I tell you this morning that I fell in love with you a long time ago? 41130 Did they take all the furniture?"
41130Did this_ fracas_ to which you allude take place before or after his marriage?
41130Did you bring away from your business any documents or memoranda that would throw light upon this particular transaction?
41130Did you learn anything about his private affairs, his profession or occupation?
41130Did you not see him at lunch; you were both there?
41130Did you notice the man?
41130Did you receive a portrait of a friend of yours, Lady Gladys Rainham, the envelope containing it directed in a strange handwriting?
41130Do you know his friend''s name?
41130Do you know where Millington went when he left?
41130Do you make this paper nowadays?
41130Do you mind telling me how you first made his acquaintance, Mrs Saxton?
41130Do you think they gave him anything, any drug to hasten his death?
41130Do you think you could recognise both of them again-- eh?
41130Does he have anybody to see him?
41130Does n''t Lord Wrenwyck know? 41130 Eh-- what?
41130Excuse me, sir, but can you oblige me with a match? 41130 Has he any acquaintances in the place?"
41130Has he, to your knowledge, ever made any active enemies?
41130Has that young woman called?
41130Have you any of those old note- books left?
41130Have you formed any opinion about it?
41130He kept up the_ role_ of the informer I suppose?
41130He never mentioned to you that he had left Camberwell?
41130How are things out at Hendon?
41130How do you stand, Mr Wingate, as regards time? 41130 How should I possibly know?
41130I am speaking to Miss Monkton, am I not? 41130 I believe I have the honour of addressing Lady Wrenwyck?"
41130I daresay I could smuggle one out for you for half- an- hour, but it''s exciting suspicion, is n''t it? 41130 I have been of some help to you, then, dearest?"
41130I presume you had several clerks in your employ?
41130I see by your card you are from Scotland Yard-- eh? 41130 I suppose it''s the old man you''re after, this time?"
41130I suppose you ca n''t help me with any dates?
41130I suppose you had not heard of it?
41130I take it he is not speaking the truth when he says that he knew Mr Monkton intimately?
41130I take it, from that remark, that he has had a somewhat chequered career?
41130I wonder if Farloe has any of his papers, or, more likely still, has abstracted any?
41130I''ll not whisper a word, but-- well, do you happen to know anyone of the name of Stent?
41130I''ve just missed Mrs Saxton-- eh?
41130If he could only throw some light upon this awful mystery?
41130In other words, men like yourself-- eh? 41130 In other words, that Mr Monkton has been done away with, for motives we do not know, by the person or persons who put the man into the taxi?"
41130Is Mrs Marsh at home?
41130Is it far?
41130Is it important, do you think?
41130Is it too much to ask you to give us the benefit of any theory you have formed, Mr Smeaton?
41130Is that all you know, my good lad?
41130Is your name Herbert, may I ask?
41130It was a clue worth following, was n''t it?
41130It was you who sent it, was it not?
41130May I speak my mind plainly?
41130Mr Smeaton was very peculiar to- day, was n''t he, Austin? 41130 No news of Mrs Saxton, I suppose?"
41130Not my father?
41130Now, do you remember, or did you ever know, the name of this fussy person who was so hard to please?
41130Now, what''s the next move? 41130 Now, who is Herbert, that''s the question?"
41130Oh, Austin, what can this mean?
41130Oh, that, sir? 41130 Secrets, I suppose?"
41130Shall I ever forget it?
41130Shall I go on with my notes?
41130Shall we ever learn the part he played in this mystery?
41130So she got clear away?
41130Something has happened quite recently?
41130Stent? 41130 That gentleman who went out just now-- isn''t he Mr Emerson, the well- known barrister?"
41130The husband of the popular Lady Wrenwyck, who in her youth was a celebrated beauty?
41130Then all of this particular paper came from Grimmel and Grice''s?
41130Then something is being concealed from the nation?
41130Thirsty with your ride-- eh, sir?
41130To be in time for the Paris train in the morning?
41130To which of the two do you attach the greater importance?
41130Was he on the Chancery or the Common Law side?
41130Well, Austin?
41130Well, Varney?
41130Well, this is not the infernal news, I suppose? 41130 Well, what does it all mean?"
41130Well, you came to see me, because you have remembered something-- or found something fresh-- eh?
41130Were you able to give him any information?
41130What did you do with the car?
41130What do you know about him? 41130 What do you make of it?"
41130What do you say to an hour or two at the Empire? 41130 What has Mr Farloe told you?"
41130What has she to do with it?
41130What household has he? 41130 What is called a skeleton in the cupboard, you mean-- eh?
41130What is his address?
41130What is the use of resting? 41130 What name shall I say, please?"
41130What name shall I say?
41130What rumour?
41130What sort of a person is she? 41130 What was the connection between him and the man whom they have identified as Bolinski?
41130What would be the present age of this lady?
41130When did he die, sir?
41130When did he die?
41130Where did you put them down?
41130Where does he live, and what''s his name?
41130Which meant that you were left to amuse yourself alone, eh?
41130Who is the oldest assistant in the shop?
41130Who ran tell? 41130 Who says that he has disappeared?"
41130Who shall I say, please?
41130Who then is Mr Williams?
41130Whose car is that big grey one, third in the row yonder?
41130Why beat about the bush? 41130 Why should I tell you an untruth?"
41130Would it be inconveniencing you to spend a few more hours down there?
41130Would ten pounds be too much?
41130Yes-- and then?
41130Yes?
41130You are interested in Mr Stent? 41130 You are quite certain of that-- eh, Farloe?"
41130You are quite positive that he is not acquainted with Mr Monkton in some peculiar and mysterious way?
41130You are quite sure that the police have not traced you yet?
41130You did n''t look at the envelope, I suppose?
41130You fear the worst?
41130You have n''t forgotten that young beggar Varney is on the track?
41130You know Mr Monkton by sight, I presume? 41130 You know nothing of its nature?"
41130You know the story of the removal in the dead of night?
41130You refuse to tell me anything?
41130You wanted to know if--?
41130You were on very early in the scene, were you not?
41130You will be sure to come to- morrow?
41130You would say that was something to work on, would n''t you?
41130A man trained to the law, versed in public affairs, was he likely to wear his heart upon his sleeve?
41130After the noble way in which you have behaved to- night, is it likely I should refuse such a trifling thing?"
41130All work and no play-- you know the old proverb, sir-- eh?
41130And I suppose you do n''t want to take too many people into your confidence?"
41130And Sheila had put no questions herself, although she was burning to ask her:"Who is that man at Brighton to whom you sent the telegram of warning?"
41130And for what motive?
41130And having gone there, why had he alighted at the corner, instead of driving up to the house?
41130And is he a widower, or bachelor, or married?"
41130And the greatest point of all was the whereabouts of the Stolen Statesman: was he dead, or was he still living?
41130And what had become of the other inmates of Forest View?
41130And what part did your brother play in it all?"
41130And why--"she broke suddenly into a low wail--"is father not home?"
41130And yet who could be sure?
41130As he waited in the hall, he wondered whether she would refuse to see him?
41130Breakfast at half- past nine-- eh?"
41130But I suppose you do n''t take guests?"
41130But do not all young girls?
41130But how the devil are we to get at Mrs Adair?
41130But if the money had been taken, why not the watch?
41130But was there ever a spendthrift yet who would admit as much?
41130But what would be the good?
41130But why did you distress yourself with the journey?
41130But why do you come to me about this?"
41130But why,"he added,"do you ask about this man Stent?"
41130Can you come to lunch-- or before, if possible?"
41130Can you guess what he is coming for?''
41130Can you oblige me with her address?"
41130Can you spare me the whole of the day?"
41130Can you tell for whom those letters were cut, and what they stand for?"
41130Could I refuse you anything on such a night as this?"
41130Did he want to pump him as to what he knew concerning Roselli, whom of course, he did not know was dead?
41130Did she once know, and had she forgotten?
41130Did the hall- porter recognise him?
41130Did you ever receive any letters from him?"
41130Did you get a good look at the faces of the two men?"
41130Did''e really die afterwards?"
41130Do get here as quickly as you can-- wo n''t you?
41130Do not be offended-- will you?"
41130Do you happen to know anything of the man Boyle?"
41130Do you know where he lives?"
41130Do you tumble?"
41130Gentlemen of your profession do not generally interest themselves in other persons without some strong motive, I presume?"
41130Had he ever an entanglement of any kind, the effects of which might pursue him in later life?"
41130Had he told the truth or were his statements pure invention?
41130Had it not enjoined her to the strictest secrecy?
41130Had the shock been too much for the old man''s reason?
41130Has that really been done?"
41130Have you any news?
41130Have you many people stopping here?"
41130Have you rung up Monkton''s clubs?
41130Have you seen enough?
41130Have_ you_ anything to suggest?"
41130He looks ghastly, does n''t he?
41130He ruminated for a few moments, and then said, abruptly,"You have brought it with you?"
41130How came it that Mr Strange''s parlourmaid wore the clothes of a servant, and spoke in the tones of a highly educated young woman?
41130How can it be otherwise?
41130How could I have borne it without you?"
41130How could he ever aspire to the hand of"Monkton''s daughter?"
41130How could she keep such an important thing from him, from the lover who had encompassed her with such tender devotion through this terrible time?
41130How did she outwit the detective?"
41130How did you guess?"
41130How should she get through the interval?
41130How would you class her?
41130I suppose she''s likely to be pretty punctual?"
41130I suppose you did not notice the number?"
41130I take it, we know nothing of him in connection with this case?"
41130I wonder if this Mr Stent happens to be a friend of yours, or your father''s?"
41130I wonder where he is?
41130I''ve kept the taxi waiting; shall I give you a lift to Horsham?
41130If I knock at the door in the course of half- an- hour or so, do you think I''m likely to find him in?"
41130If it was Monkton, as he believed, why had he gone to Chesterfield Street?
41130If she wanted to get to Piccadilly Circus, why had she taken this roundabout route?
41130If that is the case, would you let his daughter look through them, in the hope of finding something that might throw a light upon the case?"
41130Is he a quiet sort of Anarchist, or what?"
41130Is he what we should call a gentleman?"
41130Is she alone?"
41130Is this Stent-- or not?
41130It was not a very cheering interview, certainly, but how could there be any chance of hopefulness at present?
41130May I beg you to come to the point, and state the object of your visit?
41130May I walk with you a little way?
41130Might he take the liberty of coming over to Southport during the day at some hour convenient to himself?
41130Miss Monkton?"
41130Miss Monkton?"
41130My young woman knows the handwriting, and the postmark will tell you what you want-- eh?"
41130No difficulty in finding her ladyship, I suppose?"
41130Now, Mrs Saxton, will you tell us who was the dying man they put into the taxi and what was their object in putting him into Mr Monkton''s clothes?"
41130Now, can you carry your mind back, and give me any particulars of the transaction?
41130Now, do you recognise this handwriting?"
41130Now, in what way can I assist you, Mr Smeaton, beyond confirming that fact?"
41130Oh, that somebody here could understand me?"
41130Or did they suspect him?
41130Or should they refer him to the detective- inspector who had the case in hand?
41130Or was she debating whether she would feign ignorance?
41130Perhaps he might take you just a little way-- once round the aerodrome-- eh?"
41130Roselli tells us we can find his man in Manchester?"
41130Shall we say five o''clock?
41130Should they trust this singular young man, who spoke with such apparent frankness?
41130Smeaton put an obvious question:"Have they heard anything from Stent?"
41130So he has turned up again-- eh?
41130Stent?"
41130The important one remained: where was she at the present moment?
41130The important thing remained: what was the reason of his hurried flight?
41130The maid interrupted his reflections by calling over the banisters,"Will you come up, please?"
41130The question I am going to ask you, dear, is this: Have you ever had any cause to suspect there was some hidden mystery in your father''s life?
41130Then I will bring you back home, I wonder if you remember that day-- it seems such a little while ago-- when we first met?"
41130Then, when you feel you can take up your life again, may I come to you, and repeat what I have said to- night?"
41130They had made a discovery, but what were they to do with it?
41130They walked together in silence for a few paces, and then Wingate suddenly blurted out:"What has become of Reginald Monkton?
41130They''re still inside, eh?"
41130Those would be useless for your purpose?"
41130To reiterate the slenderness of her knowledge of the man Stent, so that the fact would be communicated to Smeaton?
41130To whom could he apply?
41130WHO WAS MONKTON''S ENEMY?
41130Was Reginald Monkton dead, or still alive?
41130Was he going to discover anything useful?
41130Was he honestly puzzled as he appeared, or shielding the writer of that threatening epistle with his assumption of ignorance?
41130Was he on the right track at last?
41130Was he really Stent?
41130Was he really ill and abroad?
41130Was he speaking the truth or not?
41130Was it an envelope from the company''s office?
41130Was it fancy, or did he see an expression of relief steal across Strange''s impenetrable mask?
41130Was it possible Mrs Saxton had caught sight of her at the post- office in Edgware Road after all, and had come with the intention of pumping her?
41130Was it possible that anybody who had once lived decently, could draw a breath in this musty and abominable hole?
41130Was the feather- headed fool right, and he, Smeaton, upon the wrong road?
41130Was the man simply an original kind of beggar, and was all this the preface to a request for a modest loan?
41130Was the man who had had the cipher engraved the actual writer of the letter?
41130Well, Sheila,"he asked merrily, turning to his daughter,"what have you been doing this morning?"
41130Were you acquainted with your customer''s handwriting?
41130What can I do for you?"
41130What did that surreptitious excursion portend?
41130What do you know about him?"
41130What do you want us to do?"
41130What does it mean?"
41130What does she do for cash on these jaunts?"
41130What had become of Monkton?
41130What had been the motive of her visit?
41130What have they got to go upon?"
41130What is your business with me?"
41130What is your name?"
41130What lover could refuse such an invitation, proffered by such sweet lips?
41130What object had he in meeting your father at all, when to all appearances they had carefully laid their plans in another direction?
41130What of the Italian who died at Forest View, and the man Whyman who disappeared after Smeaton''s visit to him at Southport?"
41130What the devil have I to do with such a place?"
41130What then?"
41130What was she doing at this particular moment?
41130What was the explanation of his being dressed in her father''s clothes?
41130What was the motive underlying the scheme?
41130What would they think-- what would they say?''"
41130When he had completed his purchase, he asked in as cordial a voice as he could assume:"Are there any letters or telegrams for the name of Herbert?"
41130Which one is it?
41130Who''s that?"
41130Who''s that?"
41130Why did my father dine at the Italian restaurant with Bolinski?"
41130Why do n''t you go and see the landlord, Mr Clarke?
41130Why had Mrs Saxton, object of suspicion as she knew herself to be, ventured so near her?
41130Why had his name disappeared from the Parliamentary reports?
41130Why had this sudden recollection of an old conversation come to her in the dead of the night, if not for some purpose?
41130Why is this man wearing father''s clothes?
41130Why on earth had Mrs Saxton and her companion driven to Chesterfield Street?
41130Why the devil do you want to go to the House at all for, laying yourself open to be cross- examined by anybody and everybody you meet?
41130Why was he no longer in his place in the House of Commons?
41130Will you give me a note to him, and I will ask him to hand them over to you?"
41130Will you kindly examine it, and tell me if you recognise it as your handiwork?"
41130Will you sit down?"
41130Will you take''i m?
41130Will you tell me, as briefly as you like, and in your own time, what you know of your father''s habits?"
41130Would I take her place?
41130Would he come back to consciousness and be able to answer questions, or would those be his last words on earth?
41130Would it not be natural that, under such circumstances, he would come to you for advice?"
41130Would she come in and wait?
41130Would the young woman come back to- morrow, he wondered?
41130Would you like me to run through them?
41130Would you recognise his handwriting, if you saw it?"
41130You are staying the night, I hope?"
41130You attach some importance to it-- eh?"
41130You have failed, and do you know why?"
41130You have shown her into the drawing- room, I suppose?
41130You know of him, of course?"
41130You know, that was your first thought-- was it not?"
41130You love me a little?"
41130You smoke?
41130You will let me offer you some tea?"
41130You will let us be happy?"
41130he asked,"have you done anything in the Monkton mystery-- eh?"
45455A detective?
45455A mulatto-- a negro?
45455Ai n''t you a- goin''to take these irons off?
45455Ai n''t you hungry?
45455All right?
45455And if it ca n''t be done?
45455And that?
45455And the girl?
45455And what does the cap''n mean to do with him?
45455Are we going to bag more game to- night?
45455Are you Shadow?
45455Are you alive and kicking?
45455Are you ready for further work?
45455Are you ready for some sharp work?
45455Belong here?
45455Brown, eh?
45455But, I say, ai n''t yer hungry? 45455 Ca n''t you guess?"
45455Can I see the person who first reached him?
45455Come-- come, Cap?
45455Could he have escaped from the Black Hole, think you?
45455Could that little chap have overheard anything we said?
45455Did n''t you say somebody was here to see me?
45455Did you? 45455 Do n''t they feel bully, eh?"
45455Give me a chance, wo n''t you?
45455Goin''home with me, ai n''t ye?
45455Got the pass?
45455Had he tumbled to anything much?
45455Has he no heart? 45455 Have you seen the young chap we''ve got in the Black Hole?"
45455He was caught nosing around, though?
45455He was safe then?
45455Helen what, my girl?
45455How are you, Dick?
45455How can I help it now?
45455How did you do it, gal? 45455 How did you find out?"
45455How do you expect to gain entrance?
45455Howard, will you not let up on me?
45455Hungry? 45455 I say, where are you?"
45455In other words, you want me to drive the girl to real insanity? 45455 Is my disguise so good, then?"
45455Is she dead?
45455It will be''yes,''wo n''t it, deary?
45455Lend me your revolvers, then, will you? 45455 Male or female?"
45455Me? 45455 None know him?"
45455Nothing wrong, was there?
45455Now, my gal,said her tormentor,"how is it agoin''to be?
45455Now, then,I said, presently,"are you going to make a clean breast of it?"
45455Now,said I to Shadow,"it was to you whom I paid five hundred dollars?"
45455Now-- who fired those beer- glasses?
45455Oh, you can talk, can you?
45455Paid for it? 45455 Perhaps he was your brother?"
45455Positively nothing?
45455Pray for me? 45455 Say yes, Daisy, wo n''t you?"
45455See him?
45455Shall I dog him?
45455Shall we go ahead then?
45455She can be depended on?
45455Sir, what have I done to you that you should persecute me thus?
45455Sure of it? 45455 The girl is insane?"
45455The old sugar- house?
45455The what?
45455Then why did you do so?
45455Then--to Mat--"how was it possible for you to send that same five hundred dollars to your mother?"
45455There, how did that feel?
45455This is your wife?
45455Tom have an enemy? 45455 Want to go into a big job with us?"
45455Well, how does my deary feel after our last little picnic party?
45455Well,said he, as he advanced into the center of the apartment, rubbing his hands,"well, you were successful?"
45455Well?
45455Were you after him?
45455Wh- what do you mean?
45455What did you mean by smashing the lamps and putting them out?
45455What do you intend doing with me?
45455What do you say?
45455What do you want?
45455What do you want?
45455What does he want?
45455What for?
45455What in thunder did you give the secret cry for, then?
45455What is the line?
45455What is your name?
45455What of him?
45455What pass?
45455What will I gain by it?
45455What''s the matter with that bolt? 45455 What''s up now?
45455What''s up-- what''s wrong?
45455What''s your lay?
45455What''s zish? 45455 What''s zish?"
45455What?
45455When did you last see him?
45455Where am I being taken to?
45455Where can I have seen you?
45455Where is McGinnis?
45455Which way did he go?
45455Which way?
45455Who are you, anyhow? 45455 Who are you?
45455Who are you? 45455 Who are you?"
45455Who did you have in the Black Hole?
45455Who is this''her''you speak of?
45455Who was he?
45455Who was he?
45455Whose assistance?
45455Why am I persecuted?
45455Why?
45455Will you be quiet and docile?
45455Will you eat now?
45455Will you not do what you can toward finding our Helen?
45455Will you, I say?
45455Will you?
45455Will you?
45455Would my own mother know me?
45455Would ye be after wantin''to see her?
45455You are employed by that monster whom I saw in that cellar?
45455You are sure of it?
45455You had a prisoner in it?
45455You knew him very well?
45455You remember me, I hope?
45455You wished to see me?
45455Your name is Helen, is it?
45455Added missing quote after"And now, who are you?"
45455Am I right?
45455And Shadow?
45455And are you not satisfied that there is only one Police Captain Howard, and he that one who now speaks to you?
45455And if Mat was not Shadow, who was?
45455And now, miss, you do n''t suppose that the assassin could have been an enemy of his?
45455And now, who are you?"
45455And-- I do not wish to pain you, miss-- but what about the body?
45455Are you goin''for to be good an''docile, or are agoin''to give me a heap of trouble?
45455But could that be?
45455But how to help myself?
45455But was McGinnis the man?
45455But was Shadow man or woman?
45455But what could they do?
45455But, I say, how''d you like to take the place of the old woman up- stairs?
45455Can you do it?
45455Changed?
45455Could Mat Morris so artfully disguise himself?
45455Could that slender throat, and drooping shoulders, and swelling bust, belong to a man?
45455Could they mean Shadow?
45455Did I stand still?
45455Did he have any enemies, who might rob him, as a blind to cover up their real motive?"
45455Do n''t each of you feel now as if I had written you a personal letter?
45455Do n''t you think so?
45455Do n''t you think so?
45455Do you hear me?"
45455Does it stick?"
45455Does the water rise in here with the tide?"
45455Got any answer for me?"
45455Had Shadow''s boldness cost him his life?
45455Had he been detected and murdered?
45455Has he any family or relations?"
45455Have you no heart, that you conspire with him to persecute a friendless girl?"
45455How could I pass the guard on the portal?
45455How in the world do you manage to get yourself up so thoroughly?"
45455How was that to be accounted for?
45455I remember just before leaving the spot that I muttered, rather loud, perhaps:"Where did that shadow disappear to so suddenly?"
45455I say, Dick, got anything on hand?"
45455I say, you old rooster, are you''crooked?''"
45455In the vaults he called loudly:"What!--ho!--where are you?"
45455Is that the plain English of it-- yes or no?"
45455MAN OR WOMAN?
45455MAN OR WOMAN?
45455Man or woman?
45455Mebbe there was n''t a howl?
45455Morris?"
45455Nellie Millbank?
45455SHADOW-- WHO WAS HE?
45455SHADOW-- WHO WAS HE?
45455Should I back out of accompanying them?
45455Singular, was it not, that we should have so much confidence in each other?
45455Suppose she did say''yes,''and by means of it staved off incarceration in the mad- house for several days, what would it amount to in the end?
45455Suppose the villain should take this opportunity of putting it forever out of his power to again threaten him?
45455That slip of a girl do what I knew Shadow was capable of doing, as well as what he had done?
45455The Black Hole is in the cellar under the store- house?"
45455The tenderness of his manner, the way in which he commenced to bathe Helen''s face, led me to inquire:"Do you know her?"
45455Then he asked:"Who are you?"
45455Then, why was I puzzled?
45455There,"jabbing the pin into Helen,"how do you like that?
45455Want to badger me again?"
45455Was Nellie Millbank the mysterious little detective?
45455Was he playing deaf and dumb?
45455Was it located here?
45455Was the Black Hole only one of the vaults of the old sugar- house?
45455Was the hour of Shadow''s vengeance at hand?
45455Was the hour of his vengeance at hand?
45455Was there any use in longer remaining here in the old sugar- house?
45455Was this Shadow?
45455Well, since you know me, then, let me ask you a question:_ What do you know of your early life?_"For a minute Helen was silent.
45455What Black Hole?"
45455What do you want?"
45455What do you want?"
45455What does he look like?"
45455What have you on hand?"
45455What was it-- perhaps you ask-- that produced this chuckle on Tige''s part?
45455What were those whispered words of McGinnis''which so affected Helen Dilt?
45455Where had Shadow gone to?
45455Where''sh the house?
45455Who, then, was Shadow?
45455Why could he not do so now?
45455Why this peculiar question?
45455Why was this?
45455Will we need as many men?"
45455With what description?
45455Would this particular fellow tell of this particular rascally exploit?
45455Yes or no?
45455You did nothing wrong, my son?"
45455You have not always sold papers?"
45455exclaimed the fiendish hag;"make such a fuss about a little one like that, which came out so easily?
45455is there no one to help me?"
36758''And did not sickness make any difference? 36758 ''And do you mean to say that this man and his sister have lived there alone and unvisited for years?''
36758''And have you no eye, no heart,''I asked,''for the sufferings of your daughters? 36758 ''And what do you know of my appearance, and what is it to you if I carry or do not carry a bundle out of this house?
36758''And who says I am flying?'' 36758 ''And you are the brother of this woman?''
36758''And you have property to leave?'' 36758 ''Any children?''
36758''Are these all?'' 36758 ''Are they valuable?''
36758''Are you a minister?'' 36758 ''Are you sure that is all?''
36758''Are you,''she whispered, coming close to the foot of the steps,''going in there?'' 36758 ''Briggs, is there a light in Mr. Thompson''s house?''
36758''But the constable? 36758 ''But you and she have brothers or sisters?
36758''Can I never escape from that man?'' 36758 ''Can I see him,''I asked,''without his seeing me?''
36758''Can you ask?'' 36758 ''Claims?
36758''Did not father forgive you?'' 36758 ''Did the doctor leave medicine?''
36758''Do I look any better?'' 36758 ''Do n''t you think he is very ill?''
36758''Do not you know?'' 36758 ''Do you allude to the woman who wishes to make her will?''
36758''Do you hear?'' 36758 ''Do you know them?
36758''Do you not think,''I persisted,''that a woman who has doomed herself to perpetual seclusion has a right to be peculiar?'' 36758 ''Does he seem worse?''
36758''Father,''said I, taking what I thought to be an arch advantage of the situation;''may I not have a new dress for the ball?'' 36758 ''Have you any jewels, Hermione?
36758''Have you any name but Cynthia?'' 36758 ''Have you been a father to me?''
36758''Her children''s names?'' 36758 ''Her mind?''
36758''Is he a person known to father? 36758 ''Is he gone?''
36758''Is it worth much?'' 36758 ''Is n''t she dead?''
36758''Is she holding up till the witnesses have affixed their signatures?'' 36758 ''Is that the expression of your wishes?''
36758''Is that what you are thinking of?'' 36758 ''Is there anything you want?''
36758''No,''I laughed;''why?'' 36758 ''Shall I go for the doctor again?''
36758''Shall I support your hand?'' 36758 ''She is a married woman, then?''
36758''So you are going to hunt up the heirs? 36758 ''The will?
36758''To whom do you want to leave your property?'' 36758 ''Very well; Mr. Dickey, will you stay?''
36758''What are we going to do?'' 36758 ''What are you going to do?''
36758''What have you done?'' 36758 ''What is going on?''
36758''What is it?'' 36758 ''Where are the witnesses?''
36758''Where are you going?'' 36758 ''Where have you hidden it?''
36758''Where is it?'' 36758 ''Who has she given the house to?''
36758''Who is to be the executor of_ this_ will?'' 36758 ''Whom do you want?''
36758''Why do you look at me like that?'' 36758 ''Wo n''t I do for one?''
36758''Wo n''t you come in?'' 36758 ''Yes, I''ll stay; that''s right, is n''t it, Susan?''
36758''You can not?'' 36758 ''You would not?''
36758''Your name?'' 36758 A packet labelled_ Poison_?
36758A year?
36758And did no letter come? 36758 And do you think they will succeed?
36758And has been none in the last twenty years?
36758And have you not read it?
36758And he could be severe?
36758And he will really have this money if you do not find any nearer heirs?
36758And her health?
36758And how long has she been unconscious and in that clammy, cold sweat?
36758And now what luck with Jerry?
36758And the looks? 36758 And they do not?"
36758And they? 36758 And what are they?"
36758And what is it you want of me?
36758And what kind of a girl is_ she_?
36758And you called upon him?
36758And-- and Hermione?
36758Another marriage?
36758Any patients yet?
36758Are the young ladies well?
36758Are you in trouble? 36758 Are you not going to write-- to answer this in some way?"
36758Are you sure that it is yours?
36758Are you sure there is such a woman in town? 36758 Are you the stranger lawyer that has come to town?"
36758Are you--the words came with a pant, shortly, intensely, and as if forced from him--"in love-- with her?"
36758Are you,Doris inquired, with great inquisitiveness,"going to remain in Marston any time?"
36758As a school- boy I thought her the merriest- eyed witch in town.---- Is she merry now?
36758At_ night_?
36758But the time? 36758 But what business is it of mine?
36758But what cyclones ever come here?
36758But what do you mean by riches? 36758 But where is Huckins?"
36758Can we get her to take it? 36758 Can you help me?"
36758Can you take these spots out also? 36758 Did you call, sirs?"
36758Did you ever see its like, Edgar?
36758Did you know_ her_?
36758Did you never hear him speak of Hope, Seth Hope?
36758Did you think I would let that stand in my way?
36758Did you think you saw_ him_?
36758Do I look angry?
36758Do I need assurance? 36758 Do I not?
36758Do I see it?
36758Do I wear my heart on my sleeve?
36758Do I?
36758Do n''t,he feebly protested, shaking with terror, or was it with a hideous anxiety?
36758Do n''t_ you_?
36758Do people walk for exercise at night?
36758Do they not expect you?
36758Do you call that fortunate?
36758Do you give answers with your puzzles?
36758Do you know any one here by the name of Harriet Smith?
36758Do you know,he asked,"why she, and her sister, too, I believe, have taken this peculiar freak?
36758Do you live with them?
36758Do you mean,cried Doris,"that they wo n''t leave the house to be married?
36758Do you remember_ Emma_?
36758Do you think it will do for me to come here after your sister has told me that it was useless for me to aspire to her hand?
36758Do you think so?
36758Do you think--He paused and moistened his lips--"Have you doubted what our duty is about this matter?"
36758Do you understand her?
36758Do you want to hear a song that Emma composed when we were happier than we are now?
36758Do you-- are you certain?
36758Does Hermione tend the flowers?
36758Does Huckins still bother you?
36758Does he-- is he-- prepared to receive the letter?
36758Edgar, what is this I hear about Hermione Cavanagh? 36758 Either-- of-- them?"
36758Emma, what do you mean?
36758Emma, who seemed to have little idea of what I suffered and of what I dreaded( what did I dread? 36758 For years?"
36758Frank,asked the other, quietly, but with a certain marked earnestness,"has it gone as deep as that?
36758Girls? 36758 Give her up?"
36758Has this Mr.--Mr. Etheridge, did you call him?--been doing their business long?
36758Has-- has Mr. Etheridge offered himself? 36758 Have they never been talked to on the subject?
36758Have you a laboratory? 36758 Have you found anything?"
36758Have you found the heirs?
36758Have you had any trouble? 36758 Have you kept your word?
36758Have you not a Harriet Smith to find?
36758Have you seen them daily?
36758He did, did he?
36758He plays his part badly, then?
36758Help you?
36758Her name, Edgar?
36758Her nature?
36758Her sister has no scar?
36758Hermione, have you no right to joy, or even to give joy to others?
36758Hermione, will you leave us now, just as you are going to be happy? 36758 Hermione,"he cried,"has your imagination carried you so far?
36758Hermione,said he, advancing into the middle of the room,"have you no welcome for me?"
36758Hiram Huckins?
36758How came you to think of such a thing?
36758How can I know,thought he,"how can I know?"
36758How could it be anything to her, if not to me?
36758How do you do?
36758How''s that?
36758I am willing to let up,acquiesced Edgar,"but why continue to- morrow?
36758I did not receive an immediate reply( why do you want all these particulars, Frank? 36758 I thought you did not know these young ladies-- that they were strangers to you?"
36758If I did not care for them do you think I would stay in such a gloomy house? 36758 If the property comes to much, wo n''t Miss Thompson and I get something out of it for our trouble?"
36758If they are not in Marston where are they? 36758 In business I am, and in----""Love?"
36758Is he a good man?
36758Is he dishonest?
36758Is it a tragedy, this not going out?
36758Is it all right?
36758Is it going to be too extravagant?
36758Is not all law- business serious?
36758Is not her whim shared by her sister?
36758Is she dead?
36758Is she so wedded to the past, then?
36758Is that my sister I hear?
36758Is that why you never leave it?
36758Is there anything else we can do for you?
36758Is there anything wrong in that?
36758Is there no Harriet Smith here?
36758Late at night; at one, two, sometimes three, in the morning? 36758 Let me see her; where is she?"
36758Look at that double row of poplars stretching away almost as far as we can see? 36758 Love whom?"
36758Mary? 36758 May I come in,"he asked,"just for a few words more?
36758May I not have the honor,he requested,"of an introduction to your sister?"
36758Mean to marry Miss Cavanagh?
36758Miss Emma is the younger?
36758Moving a step aside in my disgust, I said to her, not to him:''But you can hear?''
36758Never, sir; have n''t you heard? 36758 No?
36758No? 36758 No?
36758Not go out? 36758 Not if it is in her nature as well?"
36758Not that she had married and had had children?
36758Not-- not their lawyer?
36758Nothing?
36758Of what did he die?
36758Oh, Mr. Etheridge, is it you?
36758Oh, sir,he exclaimed to Frank,"you here?
36758Or where could a fire spring from in a house guarded by a Doris?
36758Picking currants?
36758Pretty talk for a young girl''s reading, is it not? 36758 Prove?"
36758Reasons? 36758 See through a sieve?"
36758Serious? 36758 Shall we begin with the lower floor?"
36758She is beautiful, then?
36758She-- she did not kill him, then?
36758Shock?
36758Should I have offered myself if I had not?
36758Struck as by a blow, the more severely that it was wholly unexpected, I gasped:''Not going to the ball when you know what depends upon it?
36758The old gentleman?
36758The rafters did not fall,she murmured,"and you, Frank, will keep all spectres away from me, wo n''t you?
36758Then I have not succeeded in raising one throb of interest in your breast?
36758Then the matter is serious?
36758Then there are two whose acquaintance you would hesitate to make?
36758Then you are not coming any more?
36758Then you have not found them?
36758Then your quest here is at an end?
36758Things?
36758To some one you know, then,--to your sister?
36758Was he--Frank turned and looked squarely at his friend, as he always did when he had a venturesome question to put--"was he fond of his daughters?"
36758Was it his pastime or his profession? 36758 Was it to see them you came to Marston?"
36758Was-- was your motive for finding her an important one?
36758Well,said he,"what news?"
36758What confidence you have in me?
36758What do you call evil?
36758What do you mean?
36758What do you mean?
36758What does he want?
36758What does it mean?
36758What has happened to Miss Cavanagh?
36758What has she taken?
36758What has? 36758 What have you seen, what can you see in me to make you trust me so in face of my own words?"
36758What is that?
36758What is the matter?
36758What is the matter?
36758What is this?
36758What is this?
36758What is your name?
36758What light? 36758 What odd provision is this,"she cried,"about the heir being required to live a year in the house where this woman died?"
36758What was the use?
36758What, that little slip?
36758What, will you be married too, to- night, at the minister''s house with me?
36758When? 36758 Where are the wings with which to turn her into a butterfly?"
36758Where are you going?
36758Where is your sister?
36758Who lives in these houses? 36758 Who told you I was her friend?"
36758Why are you affected by this?
36758Why did I not yield to his will and say nothing? 36758 Why did n''t I come here this morning?"
36758Why did she hide those away?
36758Why not do as I do-- let the matter alone?
36758Why not? 36758 Why should I ask you to harrow up your feelings by telling me what you would have told me long ago, if it had not been too painful?"
36758Why should she shut herself up?
36758Why then are you here? 36758 Why?
36758Why?
36758Will Miss Cavanagh be at liberty this morning?
36758Will not to- morrow do? 36758 Will you be seated?"
36758With pleasure,was Frank''s cheerful reply;"but what will you do with Jerry?
36758With such a secret between us?
36758Words of sorrow and remorse, no doubt, but what do they avail? 36758 Would it be any credit to me if I did not?
36758Would it have obliged you very much if I had?
36758Would you?
36758Yes; or how could they get the necessaries of life? 36758 You are searching, I hear, for a woman named Harriet Smith; have you found her, sir?"
36758You are to be married, are you not?
36758You did n''t expect to see me here, did you? 36758 You do not?
36758You have?
36758You know her?
36758You know that? 36758 You like your profession?"
36758You say she lives there alone? 36758 You think so?"
36758You will do what I say?
36758You would?
36758Your wife?
36758_ Did_ you use to visit her?
36758''Can not I go out on an errand without being told I am running away?''
36758''Do n''t you think we ought to have the doctor come, in spite of his commands to the contrary?''
36758''Do you think I am a fool?
36758''Is there any one else in town superior to him in wit or breeding?
36758''She could n''t utter a word; her tongue was paralyzed; how could you know her wishes?''
36758''Was it to me?
36758''What do you want?
36758''What mind had she after I left her?
36758''What right have you to touch them or to look at them?
36758''Why are you leaning over the Devil''s Cauldron like that?''
36758''Why have you changed your mind?
36758''Why speak so to a stranger?''
36758''You talk about influence,''he cried,''my influence; what influence did_ you_ have upon her?
3675816^o, cloth$ 1 00 G. P. PUTNAM''S SONS, New York and London Who?
36758A hard one?"
36758A wedding, eh, a wedding?
36758Am I not master of everything here?''
36758Am I nothing to you?
36758And do they like him?
36758And if in her nature there lies a fault also, is not a man''s first love potent enough to overlook even that?
36758And shall I forget?"
36758And then who could have kept me out of my property?
36758And what did he say?
36758And you mean to give her up?"
36758Any sound now from that dim, distant corner?
36758Are they honest men?
36758Are they nice girls?
36758Are you a chemist?"
36758Are you an old friend of theirs?"
36758Are you pleased that you have driven your father to self- destruction?
36758Are you pleased that you have driven your father to self- destruction?
36758Are you really serious in your intention of making the acquaintance of Miss Cavanagh?"
36758Are you, indeed, as indifferent as you seem?"
36758Are_ you_ not moved by it, Edgar?
36758As a natural result, his thoughts turned to Marston-- were they ever far away from there?
36758As he does so, a faint smell of smoke comes to his nostrils, causing him to mutter:"She is three hours too soon; what does she mean by it?"
36758At that instant Frank was heard below:"Am I in time?"
36758Because she has a secret?
36758Because you drew up the will, does that make you an authority here?
36758Besides---- But why mince the matter?
36758But as she proceeded farther her spirits seemed to droop again, and she cast him furtive looks as much as to say:"Is it right?
36758But if I liked him, if he were the beau- ideal of my dreams, could I break the vow I made one day in your presence?
36758But is it not in villages and quiet sequestered places that lofty ambitions are born?
36758But is there no break in the universal silence?
36758But when did you come to Marston?"
36758But who will see me home?''
36758But your business here,--what is it?
36758By mail,$ 1.40_ A more thrilling detective story than"Who?"
36758Can I help you?"
36758Can a woman situated as I am, give herself up to any hope, any joy?"
36758Can it be that his imagination has been roused and his affections stirred by the instantaneous vision of an almost unknown woman?
36758Can not you help me to make her acquaintance?
36758Can not you tell me?
36758Can the name of Smith ever be said to be new?"
36758Can you close the letter so that neither he nor they will ever know it has been opened?"
36758Can you guess who he can be?"
36758Can you tell me where she lived, or give me any information beyond her first name by which I could identify her?"
36758Can you understand my feeling this way, and I no more than a servant to them?"
36758Can you understand such a disposition, and can you continue to love the possessor of it?
36758Catching Frank by the arm, he whispered:"Can they be trusted?
36758Come, dear; shall I not tell him you will come?"
36758Come, now, do n''t it?"
36758Could I accept even_ his_ if it were offered to me?
36758Could the leaves have stuck together?"
36758Dickey?''
36758Did I once know a person by that name after all?"
36758Did no one go near them when it was learned how ill this poor woman was?''
36758Did she dream that I could do anything else?"
36758Did she realize that she had just put in jeopardy not only her young mistresses''fortunes, but even their lives?
36758Did you never see Miss Cavanagh again, or any of her family?"
36758Did you never see any of them again?"
36758Did you not draw up the will yourself?
36758Did you see what a crowd has assembled in the parlors?
36758Do I ask you to accept the attentions of a boor or a scape- grace?
36758Do I look like a man who will die poor?
36758Do n''t you know she gave everything to me?''
36758Do n''t you think I am right?"
36758Do they know anything about my sister?
36758Do they seem inclined to take his advice?
36758Do you believe in ghosts?"
36758Do you hear me, Emma,_ to- day_?"
36758Do you hear that bird sing?"
36758Do you know why?
36758Do you mean any one belonging to this town?"
36758Do you not like Dr. Sellick, father?''
36758Do you not like Miss Cavanagh?"
36758Do you not think them beautiful?"
36758Do you see that porch?"
36758Do you think there are any papers hidden there?"
36758Do you think we can bear many more disappointments, Emma?"
36758Do you understand?''
36758Do you want to make a prison- bird of me at once?''
36758Do you want to try for it?"
36758Does he press it upon them?"
36758Does n''t it stand to reason?
36758Does n''t that jog your memory, Huckins?
36758Emma, what has come to you?
36758Etheridge?"
36758Etheridge?"
36758Exercise-- the exhilaration of motion-- the refreshment of change?
36758Finally he spoke:"Why does Emma remain in the house to which the father only condemned her sister?"
36758Frank gave him a look as much as to say he would see about that, but he said nothing beyond a short"What train do you take?"
36758Ghost?
36758Going straight to the woman, I leaned over her and said:"''Is it your desire to leave all that you possess to this brother?
36758Going to walk for pleasure?
36758Going up to town, eh?"
36758HOW MUCH DID IT MEAN?
36758HOW MUCH DID IT MEAN?
36758Had I escaped suicide to have my hopes flung in this wanton way again to the ground, and for no reason that I or any one else could see?''
36758Had Mrs. Wakeham been the sufferer and victim which her appearance, yes and her words to me, had betokened?
36758Had he not said,"Let not hatred, let not_ love_, lead you to leave these doors"?
36758Had he seen love there?
36758Had she been constrained by his influence to do what she was doing, or was her mind free to act and but obeying its natural instincts?
36758Had these depths been always hidden within him, or had I created them there by my hardness and disobedience?
36758Harriet Smith,"he continued in a musing tone,"Harriet-- What is there in the name that stirs up some faint recollection?
36758Has she always had that scar?"
36758Has she no doctor-- no nurse?''
36758Have I reason to be thankful it was so?
36758Have not the gossips told you that?"
36758Have not their friends or relatives tried to make them break their seclusion?"
36758Have they ever told you, or have you ever--"how close his head got to hers, and how he nodded and peered--"surprised their secret?"
36758Have you actual knowledge that one by that name ever lived here, and can you give me the date?"
36758Have you any other idea, Frank?"
36758Have you anything to say against it?"
36758Have you ever heard anything about them?''
36758Have you for a minute thought me otherwise?"
36758Have you found the heirs?"
36758Have you had a chance of_ that_ happiness, and refused it?"
36758Have you not come across letters signed by my name, in looking over his effects?"
36758Have you not duties to the present, as well as to the past?
36758Have you seen either of_ them_ yet?"
36758Have you seen them?"
36758Have you talked of everything but what we propose to do?"
36758Have you them?
36758Have you tried again since your return?"
36758He is a young man, did n''t you say?"
36758He pauses; was it because he had heard a moan or cry break from the spot where Hermione crouched against the wall?
36758He was so anxious to assure himself that this was not so, that he finally asked:"And was that the end?
36758Hermione, pushing the weeping Doris back, pointed again towards the toppling structure, and cried:"Do you see who is there?
36758His love and interest naturally gained the victory over his pride, and he allowed himself to ask:"How long have they kept themselves shut up?
36758How could we have overlooked such a page?
36758How then presume to think of it or dream that she could be happy with such remembrances as hers ever springing up to blight her life?
36758How?"
36758Huckins?"
36758I do not find her, do you?"
36758I have no other love, why not give all my heart to that?"
36758If I want to stop the clock, now that my sister is dead, what is that to you?
36758If the exterior of the house bore the marks of devastation, what shall I say of the barren halls and denuded rooms which now opened before me?
36758If they do not----""What then?"
36758If they find them, will they save them all for me?"
36758If you do not know this, why did you try to slink away like a thief, instead of walking out of the front door like a proprietor?
36758If you know him----"Why did he pause?
36758If you used to go to the house---- Why do you frown?
36758Is he----''"''Rich?
36758Is it a matter for the-- for the police?"
36758Is it a year, do you think?"
36758Is it because Dr. Sellick has fixed upon that time for making me the offer of his hand?''
36758Is it here the attraction lies which has drawn him from the hotel and the companionship of his friend?
36758Is it the memory of this folly only that stands in the way of what you so astonishingly advocate?
36758Is n''t it terrible?
36758Is not Mr. Harding as much of a gentleman as Dr. Sellick?
36758Is not that almost as cruel a fate as to learn that she is so unworthy?"
36758Is not that sad and interesting enough to move a man who recognizes her beauty?"
36758Is not the will to your liking?''
36758Is there anything I can do for either of you up street?"
36758Is there hope?"
36758Is there no one who is fully acquainted with their affairs, or have they lived so long out of the pale of society that they possess no friends?''
36758Know the truth then; know that----''"Why did he not go on?
36758Looking at him intently, she repeated"Fire?"
36758Mary what?
36758Mary?"
36758May I ask where you got the name, and why you want to find the woman?"
36758Must he give up his hopes till time had paved the way to their realization?
36758Not on a matter of this importance?"
36758Old friends of yours?"
36758Or do you hesitate because you are afraid I shall smile at your reasons for this determined seclusion?"
36758Quivering with disappointment, I cried out, bitterly:"''What to do?
36758Real property and personal, this house, and also everything it contains?''
36758Sellick?"
36758Sellick?"
36758Shall I send for the constable?''
36758Shall we be friends?
36758Shall we not let that content us, or do you wish to risk life and all by attempting more?"
36758Should he proceed boldly to her house, use the knocker, and ask to see Miss Cavanagh?
36758Should he step forward and meet the intruder, or remain still and await the words of surprise he had every reason to expect?
36758Should the world know?
36758Supposing you found Harriet Smith or her children?"
36758That the young ladies will be influenced by them to break up their old habits?"
36758That they will go on living here in spite of these two young gentlemen who seem to be so fond of them?"
36758That''s what you think is coming?"
36758Then as my eyes opened in terror, and I seemed about to flee, he cried,''No doctor, do you hear?
36758They seem so happy now, and their prospects are so bright, eh?"
36758This he knew to be a freak of his fancy, for had he not her words to prove she had merited his condemnation?
36758Though he longed to press the question he judged that he had better not, so suggested carelessly:"Your sister, then?"
36758To give us bread?
36758Upon what precipice of horror was I stumbling?
36758Was his heart touched at last?
36758Was it a spectre?
36758Was it her will I had expressed in the paper I held before me, or his?
36758Was it his heart that was beating so loudly?
36758Was it in there?"
36758Was it late?"
36758Was it the restless ghost of the old professor showing itself for the last time in the place of his greatest sin and suffering?
36758Was she afraid of the right?
36758Was she in the poplar walk?
36758Was there a secret in their connection which he ought to know?
36758Was there ever a more complete dismissal?
36758Was this or that the real man as he was?
36758Were you alone?
36758What are your objections to Dr. Sellick?
36758What did Huckins want of the Misses Cavanagh, and what was the real reason for the indulgence they showed him?
36758What did his words mean?
36758What do their looks say?--I mean since this young man came to visit them?
36758What does it all mean?"
36758What does it mean?
36758What has happened to drive you to a deed like this?
36758What if a thorn has rent a petal here and there, in the luxurious flowers before him, are they not roses still?
36758What is he seeking?
36758What is it, Miss Emma?"
36758What is it, good, kind Doris; anything that will help us in our plans?"
36758What kind of a man was he?
36758What place had I at his side?
36758What reasons can they have for actions so extraordinary?
36758What then?
36758What was going on in that room?
36758What was his purpose?
36758What was my father saying?
36758What was the doctor deciding?
36758When I saw how everything was against me, why did I not succumb to circumstances, and cease to maintain a struggle I knew then to be useless?
36758When did she take that powder?"
36758When they were comfortably out of sight from the main street, he stopped again and said:"What do you mean by haunted?"
36758Where are the bonds and the stocks, and the money I helped you to save?''
36758Where?"
36758Which of them do you think was the real miser, he or she?
36758Who could be writing letters to him of such dainty appearance as this?
36758Who is it?
36758Who was, who is Harriet Smith, that you should have her book?"
36758Why did I let that doctor come?
36758Why did n''t that poison work?
36758Why did you make me speak of it?
36758Why has your sister departed?"
36758Why should he hurt both these women when his whole feeling towards them was one of kindness and love?
36758Why should you?
36758Why then deceive yourself; why let a worn- out memory stand in the way of a new joy, a real joy, an unsullied and wholly promising happiness?"
36758Why, then, do n''t they do it?
36758Will he lift them as he approaches the gate?
36758Will it make your life in this house, in which you have vowed to remain, any happier?
36758Will it make your life in this house, in which you have vowed to remain, any happier?
36758Will you do what I desire, Hermione?''
36758Will you give me that sweet right?"
36758Will you give up this whim and go with me, and so let your sister go also, or will you not?''
36758Will you not live for me?
36758With what words should he greet her, or win that confidence which the situation so peculiarly demanded?
36758Wo n''t you tell me how it was she refused you?
36758Would it not have been better that it had?
36758Would she come to the door herself, or would it be the sad- eyed sister he should see first?
36758Would that anguish of the beloved one arouse her?
36758Would_ he_ ever marry a woman who, not even at his entreaty, could be induced to cross the limits of her home?"
36758Yes, he might do that, but afterwards?
36758Yet who could say that this was not the real explanation of the whole matter?
36758You are coming back to- morrow?"
36758You are not her only relative?''
36758You have asked her?"
36758You heed me, lawyer?''
36758You like her, do n''t you, very much?"
36758You mean with servants, doubtless?"
36758You take an interest in them, sir?"
36758You will read it before you see me again?"
36758You will ride to the tavern with me?"
36758You will----''"''Father,''I put in, chill as ice,''do you expect to carry me out in your arms?''
36758_ Poison!_ I wonder what use brother Cavanagh had for poison?"
36758because she is involved in a mystery?"
36758claims?
36758do you think I would hold you to them_ now_?"
36758he suddenly shrieked,"what do you want?"
36758ought I to be enjoying all this bliss?"
36758she murmured more softly,"while he cherishes one thought of grief or chagrin over the past?"
36758to our father?''
36758what could he say at a moment like this?
36758why had it not swallowed her?
36758why?
50826And what would you have me do about it?
50826And where did you learn that?
50826But not for the murder of a Martian, eh? 50826 Except that Martians are supposed to be tone- deaf, are n''t they?
50826He cut out what?
50826How much bad luck can you have in one lifetime, anyway?
50826I beg your pardon?
50826I have?
50826So?
50826Support her?
50826The_ what_?
50826There_ has_ to be, does n''t there?
50826This one is_ wanted_?
50826Wanted, is n''t he?
50826Well? 50826 What about him?"
50826What did you do?
50826What man?
50826What''s that you''re whistling?
50826Where is he?
50826Where''s his father?
50826Where''s the boy? 50826 Why did you pull out of that shack?
50826Why should I care about an Earthman? 50826 Why?"
50826Why?
50826Would it make any difference?
50826Would n''t you say, mate? 50826 Would you like to go home to Earth?
50826Yes, I''m Security, but does it have to mean something?
50826You''re Mobile Security, are n''t you? 50826 _ What?_"He nearly leaped out of his chair.
50826*****"Pulled a howler in there, eh, mate?"
50826Ai n''t that pretty?
50826Ai n''t that something to make you throw back your head and be proud about?
50826And I knew then the reason for old Wahanhk''s bitterness when he had said to me,"But not for the murder of a Martian, eh?
50826And he''s dead, see?
50826And then he stopped chuckling and frowned instead and said complainingly:"Regular little spitfire, ai n''t she?
50826And what did I do now?"
50826Are you all right?
50826Bigamist and all that, you know?
50826But a fair fight, see?
50826But even without that, he had it coming anyway, would n''t you say?
50826But she did, too:"_ Does there?_"I gawked at her and she stared back.
50826But there was this Spider, see?
50826But who in the name of God could have the heart to ruin a dream like that?
50826Do you understand?
50826His name was Tahily and he used to hang around the saloons and he talked a lot, see?
50826How could she?
50826I mean do you get along okay and everything, now that...?"
50826I mean, what would you''ve done in my place?
50826Is that it?"
50826It makes me suffer--""So you cut out his tongue?"
50826Mean to say, I could n''t support her when I was dead, could I?"
50826Or did n''t you know?"
50826Or is that badge you''re wearing just something to cover a hole in your shirt?"
50826She had to have something to live for, did n''t she?
50826She said one word only:"Well?"
50826So his_ mother_ had taught him the William Tell Overture, had she?
50826So that he could listen, pick up a little information here, a little there?"
50826Was he part of the plan, too, and the net just the alibi that gave him a passport to wander where he chose?
50826Well, ai n''t it?
50826Well, just a thought, of course, but if you pull me in and if I get_ it_, what''ll become of her, do you suppose?
50826What made you think it was?"
50826What was that for?
50826Will that be satisfactory?"
50826You know, out in front of that shack?
40484''Well, what is the decision, chief?
40484Ai n''t I in on this at all, boss?
40484All our crowd ready?
40484And afterward?
40484And how are we going to do it?
40484And if he ever comes back here, we''ll get him, wo n''t we, boss?
40484And maybe you think I''d hesitate about making away with Muggs, do you?
40484And we could put a lot of trust in that, could n''t we?
40484And what did they swipe?
40484And when''ll that be?
40484And where do you think he''ll strike?
40484And where is Sir Burton Banks?
40484Any chance to get some hot bread?
40484Any further orders?
40484Any new developments?
40484Anything else?
40484Anything else?
40484Anything from police headquarters?
40484Anything more about Verbeck?
40484Anything to it?
40484Are all your diamonds and expensive jewels in that vault?
40484Are n''t you rather discourteous this afternoon? 40484 Are they?"
40484Are we going to fight among ourselves? 40484 Are we going to stay here in the alley and let a bunch of policemen do this thing?
40484Are we going to wait here for that wire squad to report?
40484Are you a bunch of lunatics?
40484Are you anxious to inhabit it for a time?
40484Are you feeling a certain amount of alarm for me, Muggs? 40484 Are you going to give yourself up?"
40484Are you insane? 40484 Aw, boss, ai n''t I in on this?"
40484Aw, how could anything happen?
40484Be a good boy, now, and help us, will you?
40484Beginning to get scared?
40484Boss, was I in time?
40484Business quarrel, eh? 40484 Busy?
40484But how can he get away?
40484But the chance is missing-- eh, Muggs? 40484 But where can they be?"
40484But where could he have gone?
40484But where could the headquarters be in that locality?
40484Ca n''t we?
40484Can you place her?
40484Cops?
40484Could n''t we handle it alone? 40484 Countersign?"
40484Countersign?
40484Countersign?
40484Countersign?
40484Countersign?
40484Countersign?
40484Countersign?
40484Countersign?
40484Date remains the same?
40484Did n''t leave the museum at all?
40484Did n''t you get into his old headquarters once and find papers and orders there?
40484Did we get credit for getting on that crook''s trail? 40484 Did what?"
40484Did you attend to that other fellow?
40484Did you happen to read the morning paper? 40484 Did you really think you had me?"
40484Did you send for the chief? 40484 Do I get to see these?"
40484Do n''t you understand that the Black Star''s got my boss? 40484 Do you happen to have the price?"
40484Do you suppose anything has been taken?
40484Do you want to give yourself up?
40484Do you want to watch the cottage with your men?
40484Does he hang around in the sky like a star? 40484 Drivin''for his health, is he?"
40484Everything all right?
40484Everything all right?
40484Everything done?
40484Gambling joint?
40484Going to collect them in any particular spot?
40484Going to play your old game-- going to let us know in advance what you are going to do?
40484Going to tap the National Trust, is he?
40484Got an idea he wo n''t carry''em out?
40484Great Scott, do n''t I know the sex? 40484 Hair?"
40484Has the mechanic reported?
40484Have you been inside?
40484Have you called the sheriff?
40484Have you gentlemen done anything?
40484Have you watched closely all night?
40484He is-- er-- in trouble?
40484Honor? 40484 How about Verbeck?"
40484How about detectives?
40484How about that electric current?
40484How about that woman?
40484How about the loot?
40484How about transportation?
40484How could he get away?
40484How did it look?
40484How did you get off that roof, and where did you go?
40484How do you know that, Kowen?
40484How do you want to work it?
40484How is that?
40484How long shall I have to wait?
40484How many in all?
40484How many will be in the party?
40484How soon can you do your part?
40484How?
40484How?
40484I am living with my mother at a respectable private hotel----"And your brother, the one who was going to the dogs?
40484I am, eh?
40484I beg your pardon?
40484I did n''t say I had quit, did I?
40484I picked him up, did n''t I?
40484I say, what is this all about?
40484I tell you he had a scrap----"If that is so-- if Verbeck is no longer trying to capture me-- why do you betray so much interest in my affairs?
40484If you are so blamed sure of your ability, why not tell me what you are going to do to- night?
40484In my house?
40484In what way?
40484Inclined toward violence again, Muggs, when I have been treating you so nicely? 40484 Indeed?
40484Is every man in his proper place?
40484Is that so? 40484 Is that so?"
40484Is the chief there?
40484Is the chief there?
40484Is the door in the alley wall being watched?
40484Know them?
40484Know where they are?
40484Kowen? 40484 Let me in on it, will you?
40484Let them go?
40484Lost your nerve, have you? 40484 Muggs, what do you want me to do?"
40484Muggs,he said,"where did you pick up Landers?"
40484Muggs?
40484My dear Muggs, it would be a feather in your cap, would it not, if you were able to tell the authorities all that you know now?
40484No? 40484 Nobody could get into the museum, could they?
40484Nonsense? 40484 Not exactly that, but-- please tell me, first, Mr. Kowen, it is against the law to operate a gambling house, is it not?"
40484Number?
40484Oh, are you?
40484Oh, are you?
40484Oh, did you?
40484On the roof, is he?
40484Paris? 40484 Perhaps you think I ca n''t blow the jail to pieces?"
40484Roadster?
40484Silly, is it?
40484Sling the paint? 40484 So we have a new Black Star, have we?"
40484So you are going to stagger the city, are you?
40484So you''re going to pull off some sort of a stunt to- night, are you?
40484Something I can do for you, sir?
40484Suppose I untie you?
40484Suppose everything''s all right inside?
40484Suppose he leaves before you get here, boss?
40484Sure she is about forty?
40484Surrender?
40484Take two women and a man up?
40484That woman came in here-- and where is she now?
40484That you, Kowen?
40484That you, chief? 40484 That you, chief?"
40484That''s our business in a case of this kind, is n''t it? 40484 The Princess?
40484The wires were tested this afternoon?
40484Them gents are guests of the government, ai n''t they?
40484Then what is it?
40484Then, where have they gone?
40484There ai n''t any law against me havin''a smoke, is there?
40484There have been no changes in transportation means?
40484They''re not worth it----"What? 40484 Think he''ll get busy right away?"
40484Think so?
40484Think we''d better go in?
40484This headquarters? 40484 Thought you''d get some information, did you?
40484Trying to get me to turn around, so you can make some sort of a move, are you?
40484Two women and a man just come down?
40484Verbeck, what has that devil done?
40484Verbeck?
40484Want me to throw you into that empty cell?
40484Want to have the car tagged for being left longer than the law allows on this street?
40484Well, Mamie, how about it?
40484Well, Verbeck, what''s the idea?
40484Well, are we going to let a fence tie us up?
40484Well, ca n''t you let a fellow in on it? 40484 Well, how long are you goin''to keep me here?"
40484Well, what about it? 40484 Well, what about me?"
40484Well, what are we going to do about it?
40484Well, what are you going to do with me?
40484Well, what are you hanging around here to- night for?
40484Well, what can we do?
40484Well, what can we do?
40484Well, what do you want? 40484 Well, what do you want?"
40484Well, what do you want?
40484Well, what is it?
40484Well, what shall we do?
40484Well, who is it?
40484Well, why stand here and gas about it?
40484Well?
40484Well?
40484Well?
40484Well?
40484What about Verbeck?
40484What amount?
40484What are we going to do?
40484What are you doin''? 40484 What are you going to do?"
40484What are your names, and where do you live and work?
40484What can we do except wait until he pulls off a stunt, and then go after him?
40484What did that gang get in the jewelry store?
40484What difference does it make?
40484What do you know about the Black Star''s plans for the future?
40484What do you know about the Black Star?
40484What do you mean by snoopin''around and investigatin''things you ai n''t got any business investigatin''?
40484What do you mean, sir?
40484What does it mean?
40484What else have you to report?
40484What else?
40484What happened?
40484What has that to do with it?
40484What have you done with my people?
40484What have you to suggest? 40484 What is it?
40484What is the disturbance about?
40484What is the idea?
40484What is the meaning of this intrusion?
40484What kind of a thing is this?
40484What laid''em out? 40484 What now, Landers?"
40484What plans can I make? 40484 What sort of nonsense is this?"
40484What time is it?
40484What you mean jumpin''me like you did?
40484What you talkin''about?
40484What''s that?
40484What''s that?
40484What''s that?
40484What''s that?
40484What''s the big idea?
40484What''s the big tip?
40484What''s the matter with Muggs?
40484What''s the matter with you?
40484What''s the row?
40484What''s the use of all that?
40484When I hold the advantage?
40484Where are George and Fred?
40484Where did he go?
40484Where do you get that?
40484Where is room 256?
40484Where is the place?
40484Where, man-- where?
40484Where?
40484Which of you gentlemen is Lord Sambery?
40484Who are you, and what are you doing here?
40484Who do you think is in that room, Verbeck?
40484Who is this?
40484Why did n''t we go down the stairs instead of up? 40484 Why did n''t you?"
40484Why did you follow my man to- day? 40484 Why not get into the bank building?"
40484Why on earth should I do such a thing as that?
40484Why use the door?
40484Why, how dare you? 40484 Why, what can you mean?"
40484Will you help, Verbeck?
40484Will you take the time and trouble?
40484Wonder what those chaps are up to?
40484Yeah, but where are they now?
40484Yeh?
40484Yeh?
40484You actually think we''d do such a thing?
40484You are still inclined toward violence-- eh, Muggs? 40484 You are sure that I did not do wrong coming here like this?"
40484You do n''t know what to do, huh? 40484 You do n''t see any of the crook''s gang around here, do you?
40484You goin''to take off these cords?
40484You have your orders for to- night?
40484You have-- er-- some sort of a complaint to make?
40484You mean to say you think it''s going to be a hard job landing him?
40484You mean your work for him is done?
40484You say you want fifteen minutes?
40484You see?
40484You think so? 40484 You think so?"
40484You think you can bluff me with a speech like that?
40484You''ll stick to that story, will you, because nobody else heard what you said yesterday? 40484 You''re having the roads watched?"
40484You''re kinder crazy about that boss of yours, ai n''t you?
40484You''re not in touch with him any more?
40484Your headquarters, huh?
40484Ai n''t we been on watch?"
40484And for what?
40484And have one of your men go to the corner by the New Nortonia Hotel and wait there for us, will you?
40484And what else was it that Muggs had said?
40484And what?
40484Any orders now?
40484Anything more to suggest?"
40484Anything special regarding possible loot?"
40484Are n''t half the girls in town mad at me now because I always insist on doing it, and telling the truth about my guesses?
40484Are you and your men ready to surrender to us?
40484Are you concerned about Roger Verbeck?
40484Are you not ridiculous enough in the eyes of the public already?"
40484Are you surprised at the way I escaped you just now?
40484Arrest me?"
40484Brother?
40484But how could even the Black Star get enough of his men together to raid a place like this in that length of time?
40484But just where did you pick him up?
40484But where?
40484But why bother you with minor details?
40484By the way, did you get your letter?"
40484By the way, how is your man, Muggs?"
40484By the way, is Mr. Verbeck there?"
40484Ca n''t I guess a woman''s age nine times out of ten?
40484Ca n''t a man bum through the woods any more?
40484Ca n''t you recognize my voice?
40484Can you imagine what that would mean if the world had the secret?
40484Did my new searchlight puzzle you a bit to- night, chief?
40484Did things go all right at the other place?
40484Did you imagine you were to be treated with violence?
40484Did you inform the bank officials?"
40484Did you send your deputies to the other side, sheriff?"
40484Did you wonder where my voice came from, and how I happened to be in the air just over you?
40484Do n''t you recognize my voice?
40484Do n''t you trust me no more?"
40484Do you mean you''d try to prevent me from making a fortune for my band by running away with some jewels and a couple of diplomats?"
40484Do you understand now?
40484Does that satisfy you?"
40484Expect to find him by standin''around here smokin''cheap cigars?
40484Find something missing?"
40484From one end of the city to the other, men and women asked the question, where would the Black Star strike?
40484Gee, boss, ai n''t we goin''to handle it ourselves?"
40484Get me?"
40484Got the autos ready?"
40484Had the master criminal come into possession of some wonderful new invention?
40484Has he reported?"
40484Have you an idea that I can not take care of myself, in broad daylight?"
40484Have you anything to suggest?"
40484Have you wondered how I spoke to you out of the sky?
40484Have you worried about the bright light?
40484How about the other sister?"
40484How are you going to get home?"
40484How can a man like Verbeck expect to win against an organization such as mine?"
40484How can we do anything until they show up?
40484How could he be rescued from the roof?
40484How did I know that place was a plant?
40484How do you expect to accomplish it?"
40484How high do you suppose it is?"
40484How is that?"
40484How long were you gone?
40484How old do you say she is?"
40484Hurry-- hurry!--That you, chief?
40484I certainly am a big crook, am I not?"
40484I have tapped a private wire and am talking over it-- understand?"
40484I presume you have heard of our fair city''s society leader, Mrs. Richard Branniton?"
40484I suppose you would have to make a raid-- I believe that is the term?
40484I suppose you''ll be on my trail again?"
40484I suppose, since you are free and here, that you did all this, Muggs?"
40484Is not that a master stroke?
40484Is that a way to catch the Black Star?"
40484Is there a law agin''it?"
40484It was a gambling house, was n''t it?"
40484It was a very clever rescue, was it not?
40484Kidnap my boss, will you?"
40484Kowen will be here----""Why did you call Kowen?"
40484Kowen, is that man of yours at the corner, do you suppose?"
40484Lawrence, do you know the people who have that room now?
40484Made any plans?"
40484Make fun of my boss in the newspapers, will he?
40484Mr. Verbeck there?
40484Newspapers and public jump on me, will they?
40484Prisoners, eh?
40484Ready, sheriff?"
40484See?"
40484Shall I have him come to the window and decide what you are to do?"
40484Shall we walk, or shall I call a cab and charge it to the county?"
40484Sheriff Kowen read it quickly: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Did you think for an instant that the Black Star would go to prison to serve twenty years?
40484Smith?"
40484So four of you came to get me, eh?
40484That was a pretty grilling the_ Herald_ gave you, was n''t it?"
40484The Black Star''s first lieutenant, and the cleverest woman in his band?
40484The city faced the great question: Where would the Black Star strike first?
40484There was a shooting scrape at the corner----""Did all of you go there?
40484There''s a fat reward up, ai n''t there?"
40484There''s a subtle perfume about her, my boy----""And you only glanced at her a couple of times, eh?
40484Think I''m a member of his gang?"
40484Thought I''d take my eyes off him, did n''t he?
40484To whom had Landers telephoned?
40484Trying to anger me into telling you my plans, are you?
40484Understand that?
40484Understand?
40484Understand?
40484Understand?"
40484Verbeck?"
40484Verbeck?"
40484Was he able to escape when and as he liked?
40484Was he to be held as hostage, or something like that?
40484Was his band reorganized?
40484Was it Landers''carelessness or your cleverness?"
40484Was that necessary, Verbeck?
40484Was the get- away good?"
40484Was the master rogue to win again?
40484Was the town in for another reign of crime?
40484Was there no way in which he could be stopped, recaptured, put behind prison bars?
40484Was there nobody in that end of town who could help him?
40484Watching the trust company, are you?
40484Well?"
40484Were these men going to avenge themselves upon him because he had been instrumental in sending their leader to prison?
40484What arrangements have been made about refreshments?"
40484What can it be?
40484What do you suppose the boss is going to do with him?"
40484What do you suppose the public will say when they know I had you and let you go?"
40484What do you think about it?"
40484What do you want with him?
40484What else is there to do?"
40484What have you to say?"
40484What is the sheriff doing, chief?"
40484What more can man desire?
40484What time is it now?"
40484What''s happened out there?"
40484When will Landers be here again?"
40484Where are the robes?"
40484Where are the stones?"
40484Where did they go?"
40484Where is the Black Star''s headquarters?"
40484Where shall we start in?"
40484Where would he strike next?
40484Who is this?"
40484Who was the person for whom he was waiting?
40484Why could n''t he keep the crook when he had him?
40484Why did you trail him through the woods?
40484Why do n''t you talk to headquarters and tell what you know?
40484Why do you always grow violent when I do you the honor of calling you up?"
40484Why give the police some of the credit?
40484Why not?
40484Why should he perform the duties of the police and at the same time submit to the abuse of the imbecile chief, he was said to have asked?
40484Would he never reach a telephone?
40484Would he never run across a member of the police force?
40484Would he take vengeance for his arrest and incarceration?
40484Would the Black Star and his band face a battle with police and deputies, attempt to raid the hotel and save Landers and the two women?
40484Would the notorious Black Star merely make good his escape, or did he have plans perfected?
40484Yellin''over the telephone to a bunch of cops and havin''them run around in circles?"
40484You helped engineer his escape, did n''t you?"
40484You know about that, do you?
40484You know your part, I suppose?"
40484You remember how the Black Star escaped from the roof of the National Trust Building, do n''t you?
40484You understand?
40484You understand?"
40484You''re invited, are you?"
38347A bead-- a costly bead-- and you were not found out?
38347A business man, then?
38347A stranger''s? 38347 A woman''s, daintily shod; a woman of about the size of--""Who?
38347Again? 38347 Ah, is she the one?"
38347Am I not right?
38347And by what right did he demand this? 38347 And did she?
38347And during the time, you say, when Mrs. Ocumpaugh''s guests were assembling? 38347 And he?"
38347And how do you like it here?
38347And is that child Gwendolen? 38347 And may I ask,"he coldly continued,"how you have succeeded in connecting me with this young child''s disappearance?"
38347And she? 38347 And she?"
38347And what did you tell her?
38347And what inference can we draw from that?
38347And what?--what?
38347And you told Mrs. Ocumpaugh this?
38347And you want-- you intend, to measure those steps?
38347And you would be willing?
38347Any one else?
38347Are as unreal as the dog? 38347 Are you dissatisfied?"
38347Are you going to cross the floor?
38347Are you not a--_detective_?
38347Attracted? 38347 Blood on the ceiling of my old pavilion?
38347Both?
38347But the child is not dead? 38347 But the child?"
38347But you have not answered my questions as to where this wagon is at present and under whose care? 38347 But you have not found Gwendolen?"
38347Can you deny as well that you have been gone two days from this place? 38347 Can you see?"
38347Can you think of any other?
38347Certainly; are we not almost friends?
38347Clue to what? 38347 Clue?"
38347Could n''t Mrs. Carew tell us something about this?
38347Did I not advise her right?
38347Did n''t you recall the matter to her when you found the child missing?
38347Did we do that?
38347Did you look up?
38347Did you not know it?
38347Did you notice where the boards had been sawed?
38347Did you see this woman? 38347 Did you think-- did any one think-- that those cries came from Gwendolen?
38347Do n''t you see? 38347 Do you fear the police?"
38347Do you feel better?
38347Do you know her reasons for this?
38347Do you know that I do n''t quite like the noises which are being made up there?
38347Do you know that man?
38347Do you know this child''s parentage and condition?
38347Do you know who pasted that date upon the post?
38347Do you mean that you are my friend?
38347Do you not think Mrs. Ocumpaugh worthy some pity? 38347 Do you see that?"
38347Do you suppose she knew it?
38347Do you wish to talk to him_ here_?
38347Doctor Pool? 38347 GWENDOLEN HERE?"]
38347Good news? 38347 Gwendolen here?"
38347Gwendolen here?
38347Gwendolen? 38347 Harry what?
38347Harry?
38347Have I not said that I do not know? 38347 Her illness?"
38347Her servants then?
38347Here?
38347His name?
38347How could I,she asked,"when Mrs. Ocumpaugh did not close her eyes?
38347How did Mrs. Ocumpaugh seem to like that?
38347How do you do, little man? 38347 How?
38347Hurt, Aline?
38347Hurt?
38347I do not like it either, but--"What have you found now?
38347I know of one thing, but what else?
38347I mean, why did she come thus suddenly, without warning me of what I might expect? 38347 I saw Gwendolen asleep; she held a string in her hand but no candy, and if she did--""Did you examine both hands, madam?
38347I see-- and who is the woman? 38347 I want to see for myself if-- if--""If what, Jared?"
38347I want? 38347 I wonder if you will have an equally wise reply to give to my next question?"
38347If you can find her-- that is the first thing, is n''t it?
38347In a half- foot of earth, madam? 38347 In money?
38347In the disused part of the bungalow? 38347 In what direction, then?"
38347In what respect are you a messenger from Mrs. Ocumpaugh, and what makes you think I have her child in this house?
38347Is Mrs. Carew so fond of money as all that? 38347 Is it not?
38347Is one of those directed to Robert Trevitt?
38347Is she a good woman?
38347Is that your little nephew I''ve heard them tell about? 38347 Is the child quiet?
38347Is the time too short? 38347 Is this letter, as you call it, so old?"
38347It came out of Mrs. Carew''s grounds?
38347Jewels? 38347 Little Miss Graham?
38347Love?
38347Madam, do you recognize this?
38347Madam, what does this mean? 38347 Madam, what secret?
38347Mr. Rathbone, perhaps?
38347Mrs. Carew-- for it must be Mrs. Carew I am addressing-- did your little nephew cry when you first brought him to the house?
38347News?
38347No cops in the neighborhood? 38347 No farther than that?"
38347No; why should I? 38347 Nor given into Mrs. Carew''s hand such an account?"
38347Not if he brings news?
38347Nothing?
38347Now?
38347Of course, who else?
38347Oh, what is going to happen now?
38347Oh,she cried, in a tone that assured me she had not seen the dog lying in his blood at my back;"dead already?
38347One I know?
38347Or have you interested yourself in this matter purely from business reasons?
38347Shall I give him my word, Harry?
38347Shall I not go on?
38347Shall_ I_ not look up Mr. Atwater for you?
38347She has not sailed?
38347She studied-- to please_ me_? 38347 So you intend to publish my story, if I do not?"
38347Steps,she cried,"going up into that part of the building where-- where--""Will you attempt them with me?
38347That you would help me, if any help were possible, to keep my secret and-- my husband''s love?
38347Then I may go on?
38347Then there are doubts,she faltered;"doubts of its being Gwendolen?"
38347Then you do not know it?
38347Then_ you_ think she strayed down to the water?
38347This paper?
38347Was I to give this one?
38347Was he as wealthy then as now?
38347Was her love for Gwendolen sincere?
38347Was it a man''s or woman''s steps?
38347Was there a footprint left, then? 38347 Was there anything peculiar about these confections either in taste or appearance?"
38347Was-- was Mrs. Ocumpaugh very much disturbed by what she saw?
38347What are you going to do next?
38347What are you going to do?
38347What are you listening for?
38347What can you find there?
38347What did you know of Mrs. Carew before she came to----?
38347What do you mean?
38347What do you mean?
38347What do you mean?
38347What do you mean?
38347What does she mean?
38347What for? 38347 What goes on behind those shuttered windows?"
38347What have you two been doing down there?
38347What if she went in some one''s arms?
38347What is Mrs. Carew doing this morning?
38347What is it? 38347 What is it?
38347What is it?
38347What is that I hear, then?
38347What is that on the other side?
38347What is that spot, and that spot, and that? 38347 What makes you say that?
38347What makes you think it blood?
38347What need of that?
38347What relationship?
38347What sort of candy-- pardon me if I seem impertinent-- had you in your house on the Wednesday the child disappeared? 38347 What then?"
38347What will you do with it?
38347What words are those?
38347What would I think? 38347 Where did you get it?
38347Where then did she go? 38347 Where was your old home?"
38347Which Mr. Ocumpaugh? 38347 Who blundered, and what is the meaning of the conspiracy you hint at?
38347Who can detain me,she cried,"if I wish to go?"
38347Who has been here?
38347Who occupies that house?
38347Whom? 38347 Why not?"
38347Why was it ever closed up? 38347 Why, she would be a fool to care for him, unless--""Unless what?"
38347Will what we saw and what we found in the bungalow last night?
38347Will you believe that what I ask is for the best and take this envelope to her? 38347 Will you call in to see me to- morrow?"
38347With me? 38347 With thoughts of her little nephew?"
38347Would n''t you think my attention would have been caught by the sound of any one moving about here?
38347Would you like to see what that is? 38347 Would you like to?
38347Yes; Doctor Pool, whom I wish to God I had never seen-- has he told you any such lies as that? 38347 Yesterday?"
38347You can bear it?
38347You did? 38347 You do not know?"
38347You have not seen the written account of it?
38347You know the relationship?
38347You know this?
38347You know who wrote those slips?
38347You thought the child had been stolen for the reward she would bring?
38347You''re not out of the woods, is that it? 38347 You?"
38347You?
38347_ She_ beautiful?
38347''Are you a doctor?''
38347''Where were you going to take her?''
38347274 XXI Providence 289 XXII On the Second Terrace 315 XXIII A Coral Bead 321 XXIV"Shall I Give Him My Word, Harry?"
38347A conspiracy, and for what?
38347A detective of my experience outwitted by this stricken, half- dead woman whom I had trembled to see try to stand upon her feet?
38347A dream?
38347A square of impenetrable gloom confronted me at the first glance-- what might not be the result of a second?
38347Ah; is that the little boy?"
38347Aline, will you promise?"
38347All looked well in that direction; but what was the aspect of affairs in Homewood?
38347An impossibility?"
38347And what did the old gentleman have to say of your tumbling in on him from space without a''By your leave''or even an''Excuse me''?
38347And what had I done?
38347And what would the story tell me to warrant the loss of what might have proved a most valuable hour?
38347And when do you think that was?"
38347And who can penetrate a woman''s mind?
38347And why should n''t I go see?
38347Any which she could have got at or the nurse given her?"
38347Are not_ some one_ and_ the wretch_ one and the same person, and can you not give him now a name?"
38347Are you here at Mrs. Ocumpaugh''s bidding, and has she at last given up all expectation of finding her child in the river?"
38347Are you more than convinced of this now?
38347Are you quite convinced that you have news of sufficient importance to warrant the expectations you have raised in her?"
38347Are you quite sure that there is any possibility of this?
38347Are you ready to promise, Aline?"
38347Are you sure?"
38347Atwater?"
38347But how express myself?
38347But is n''t there some one else who is conscious of possessing certain claims also?
38347But perhaps you are better informed on this subject than I supposed?
38347But there is a gentleman-- one interested in the family-- a man with something to gain--""Mr. Rathbone?
38347But who are you, sir, if I may ask?
38347But who could have been here?
38347But who knows?
38347But would Mrs. Ocumpaugh do this?
38347But would he accord me an interview?
38347Ca n''t you see how anxious I must be about that-- if it should prove to be Gwendolen?"
38347Can not the child run away and be lost?
38347Can not you find him?"
38347Can you declare that she did not have this candy in one of her little hands?"
38347Can you not think of some other motive?
38347Carew?"
38347Carew?"
38347Carew?"
38347Carew?"
38347Could any one have thought that?"
38347Danced at night and--""And-- and-- what by day, what?"
38347Did I allow my triumph to betray itself?
38347Did I feel easier?
38347Did I run?
38347Did he bid you say that?"
38347Did her lips frame it, or did I see it in her eyes?
38347Did it pass out before the wagon?"
38347Did n''t you hear a carriage drive through your grounds at about the hour the alarm was first started?
38347Did n''t you see all there was to see?"
38347Did she fear her charming neighbor?
38347Did she know how much?
38347Did she wish to save her friend, or save herself, or even to save me from the result of a blind use of such tools as were the only ones afforded me?
38347Did you ever see the child about whom there has been all this coil?"
38347Did you know it?"
38347Did you not notice?"
38347Did you play the detective here?"
38347Did you see any other vehicle leave by the same gate at or before that time?"
38347Did you?"
38347Do n''t you see that I am consumed with jealousy?
38347Do n''t you see that some one has preceded us here; and that not so very long ago?
38347Do n''t you see that your conclusions are all wild-- incredible?
38347Do you know if the police had it up?"
38347Do you know so little of the impulses of a mind, bewildered as mine has been by intolerable suffering?"
38347Do you know the secret of that strangely divided room?"
38347Do you know?"
38347Do you mean proof?
38347Do you mean to publish my shame to the world?
38347Do you not believe me?
38347Do you not know of some one who wanted the child from--_love_, let us say?"
38347Do you not see that it is blood?
38347Do you think me as blind to- day to truth and honor as I was six years ago?
38347Do you want more months for dancing?"
38347Do you want to see things nearer?
38347Do you wish her confirmation of my story?
38347Do you wish to see her?
38347Do you wonder that a visit in the dead of night to a spot associated with such superstitious horrors should frighten me?"
38347Do you?"
38347Do_ you_ know what they meant by that?
38347Does it mean that?
38347Does it mean that?"
38347First, what has become of the child?"
38347God grant-- but what can any old letter have to do with the agonizing question before us?
38347Had Gwendolen Ocumpaugh by any chance worn such?
38347Had I bargained with Mrs. Ocumpaugh?
38347Had all my efforts for the last half- hour been for the purpose of entrapping her into some such avowal?
38347Had little Miss Graham''s theory no better foundation than this?
38347Had she read my inmost soul?
38347Had she the strength to stand the ordeal?
38347Had some note in his own conscience been struck by an act which, in his cooler moments, he may have looked upon as a species of sacrilege?
38347Had the storm passed over?
38347Harry Carew?"
38347Harry, will you stay with me?"
38347Has there been no alarm?"
38347Have n''t I done everything?
38347Have you by any chance the means of entrance to the bungalow?
38347Have you no idea of repentance and regeneration from sin?
38347He is your nephew, I believe?"
38347He was right; what was she doing?
38347How came you there?
38347How can I help?
38347How dare you?
38347How had it happened?
38347How shall we see?
38347How was the boy in his charge?
38347How?
38347I believe so-- oh, Mr. Trevitt,"she cried, as I rose to my feet with the corner of the rug in my hand,"what are you going to do?"
38347I did n''t ask who she was; why should I?
38347I did not see her face, it was heavily veiled, but I heard her voice; it was a lady''s voice and--""What?"
38347I let a moment of silence pass, then nonchalantly remarked:"Why is she going to Europe?"
38347I may not see you again; may I wish you a safe journey?"
38347I waited till she was calm again, then I inquired very softly:"What wretch?"
38347If taken there, why was n''t she found there?
38347If the child can be found-- you wish that?
38347If you will lift him up I will wrap him in this shawl as if he were ill. Once in New York-- are you not going to permit me?"
38347Is it-- is it good news?"
38347Is she an actress too-- Gwendolen?"
38347Is she known?
38347It was I who carried Gwendolen into that secret hole._"XXI PROVIDENCE Had I suspected this?
38347Lift your eyes to the ceiling-- over there-- at the extreme end toward the south-- do you see--_what_ do you see?"
38347Master, what is it?
38347May I tell you--"as I laid my hand upon the outer door- knob--"just how to approach her?"
38347Mr. Trevitt, yesterday saw the end of those ten days, and where is she now?
38347No spies around?"
38347Not to extort money, or why these blundering efforts to make the child appear dead?"
38347Now all might be lost unless I could arrive in time to-- do what?
38347Ocumpaugh?"
38347Ocumpaugh?"
38347Ocumpaugh?"
38347Ocumpaugh?"
38347Ocumpaugh?"
38347Ocumpaugh?"
38347Ocumpaugh?"
38347Oh, we are in a terrible strait, we two, unless you will stand by us like a friend-- and you will do that, wo n''t you, Mr. Trevitt?
38347One of them detective fellows?
38347Or do n''t you know?"
38347Or has the great lady bargained with you?--Um?
38347Or rather, to what place was she taken?
38347Or will you stay here, in the darkness?"
38347Order the work stopped?
38347Perhaps you know this?"
38347Rathbone?"
38347Shall I replace it and press back the nails?"
38347Shall we cross the floor?"
38347She did not sleep-- Oh, sir, what is it?"
38347Should I tell her that Doctor Pool was dead?
38347So all is lost?"
38347Some marauder, then, or a detective, like myself?
38347That has failed, has it not?
38347That she was carried out through my grounds?
38347That you feel demonstrated-- or do n''t you?"
38347The cars are coming; do n''t you hear the whistle?
38347The child?
38347The next heir, eh?"
38347The question which kept down my elation was this: Would I be the first man to get there?
38347The reply was impetuous:"How else could she have been spirited away so quickly?
38347Then why do n''t we find her, or-- or her little innocent body?"
38347There was no quarrel, no fight; only hilarity--""Where did the dog come from?"
38347They call it--""Well, well, what do they call it?"
38347To reveal to_ me_, who had no claim upon her but that of friendship, a secret which had not been given to the police?
38347Trevitt?"
38347Trevitt?"
38347Um?"
38347Want your money?
38347Was Gwendolen very fond of sweets?"
38347Was I following the false light of a will- o''-the- wisp?
38347Was I held by something in her manner?
38347Was I playing with her curiosity or anxieties or whatever it was that affected her?
38347Was I wrong in letting her slip from my surveillance?
38347Was anything amiss?
38347Was fate to be appeased by this effort at forgetfulness?
38347Was his accent in uttering this simple phrase peculiar?
38347Was it a totally unbroken partition?
38347Was it a woman''s plea, conscious of the tenderness she appealed to, or only a child''s instinctive grasping after life, just life?
38347Was it affection for her friend which made Mrs. Carew''s always rich voice so very mellow?
38347Was it one she was ready to impart?
38347Was it she who called?
38347Was it so?
38347Was it suicide on the doctor''s part or just pure accident?
38347Was she a true woman or what my fears pictured her-- the scheming, unprincipled abductor of Gwendolen Ocumpaugh?
38347Was she as much moved-- or possibly more moved than myself?
38347Was she in delirium?
38347Was she of common blood, common manners?
38347Was that Miss Graham coming?
38347Was that necklace one bead short?
38347Was the game deeper than I thought?
38347Was this on account of the state of her nerves or mine?
38347We shall meet again, and then--"Did she pause to look behind her down those steps-- to make some gesture of caution to the uneasy child?
38347What are we about to discover?
38347What can it be?"
38347What can your little wife be doing?
38347What did I propose to myself?
38347What did it all mean?
38347What did it mean?
38347What did she mean by that"Happy"?
38347What did she think of it?"
38347What did you say your name is?"
38347What do you know of my friends?"
38347What do you know of that scrap of paper, hidden from the whole world from the moment I first read it till this hour of full confession?
38347What does it mean, Jupp?
38347What excuse did he give you?
38347What had occurred on that night of innocent enjoyment to disturb or alarm him?
38347What have these miserable lumps of sugar to do with Gwendolen?"
38347What is it?
38347What is it?"
38347What kind of place do you make it out to be; and is there anything here you-- do-- not-- want-- to see?"
38347What made him quake-- he who knew of this dog only by hearsay-- and what, in spite of this fear, gave him such resolution?
38347What was I encouraging this young girl to do?
38347What was I to think of her?
38347What was I to think of myself?
38347What was in the man''s mind?
38347What?"
38347Wheeling about, I threw this question back:"If that is a boy and a stranger, where is Gwendolen Ocumpaugh?"
38347When?
38347Whence, then, did they come into Mrs. Carew''s possession?
38347Where could it come from?
38347Where did you first come upon the wagon which you followed so many hours in the belief that it held Gwendolen Ocumpaugh?"
38347Where shall we look for his child?
38347Where was the wagon found?
38347Who could say she was cold now?
38347Who could see anything but a feeling heart in this woman, beautiful beyond all precedent in her passion and her woe?
38347Who could wonder?
38347Who has dared to send me this?''
38347Who is with it?
38347Who would want to be here?
38347Whose?
38347Why did I not make my bow and go?
38347Why did my muscles tighten instead of relax?
38347Why did they not move me?
38347Why do you play with my anguish?"
38347Why should it?
38347Why should n''t I listen for it?
38347Why, sir, why do you ask?
38347Why, what is the matter?"
38347Why?"
38347Why?"
38347Will you let me try?"
38347Will you oblige me by following me there?"
38347Will you trust yourself to me?
38347Wo n''t Mr. Atwater do?
38347Would I confess the truth to him myself?
38347Would I discover in the columns any hint of the preceding day''s events in Yonkers, which, if known, must for ever upset the wagon theory?
38347Would I find his attitude changed?
38347Would I meet her at the pavilion?
38347Would his follow?
38347Would no more flashes come?
38347Would she embrace this opportunity to part with it when it came?
38347Would we have noticed since?
38347Would you leave her to bear the full burden of this deception alone?
38347XX"WHAT DO YOU KNOW?"
38347XXIII A CORAL BEAD"What''s that?"
38347XXIV"SHALL I GIVE HIM MY WORD, HARRY?"
38347Years ago?"
38347Yet if I came to make her better?
38347You are convinced of that now, are you not?"
38347You are going back to the bungalow?"
38347You do n''t believe-- you surely can not believe--""That Mrs. Carew is a charming woman?
38347You do not know?"
38347You know that, do you not, madam?"
38347You know them?
38347You look as if-- as if--""I had come upon a clue to Gwendolen?
38347You loved her?"
38347You will carry that up to her?"
38347You will go with me?"
38347You wo n''t be long, will you?"
38347You would have thought-- But why all this talk about Mrs. Carew?
38347You, a messenger from Mrs. Ocumpaugh?
38347[ Illustration:"GWENDOLEN HERE?"
38347and not once Gwendolen?
38347and were the wheels she heard only those of Mrs. Carew''s departing carriage?
38347are you coming?"
38347at the first word?
38347but do you think I shall stop because of that?"
38347dead at the first glance?
38347he asked;"when you were in the pavilion, I mean?"
38347how can you say that?
38347she interrupted"Where is the child?
38347this babe I had loved as my own flesh and blood!--in the river where she had been forbidden to go?"
38347what is that the man in the boat is holding up?
38347who are these?"
45973Ai nt it won- der- ful?
45973Ai nt sech a tough looker as we know he is, eh, ole pal?
45973Any fambly as yeou heard of?
45973Are you through eating?
45973As what?
45973Beat what?
45973Bully boy, Jack; I''m tickled pink to hear such good news; when do we move in, tell me?
45973Could anybody think up a finer and safer location for such an illegal plant than up here, where they could carry on their work without molestation? 45973 Dead certain be yeou, Jack?"
45973Did yeou hear it?
45973Dinner knocking harder than customary; or did you get a letter from your best girl, breaking off the engagement? 45973 Does that mean he might be fetchin''a last hour message, Jack?"
45973First tell me, was the ship okay?
45973Get a bite?
45973Get through with your list, partner?
45973Haow come, buddy?
45973He must a been a fair good chap then, I guess, partner, eh, what?
45973I hope you did what I told you to-- eat a good lunch while you had the opportunity?
45973I notices, Jack, as haow yeou allers say_ down here_ when yeou mentions this cave; haow do yeou make that aout, partner?
45973I reckon you''re referring to our old friend, Cool Slim Garrabrant, eh, Perk?
45973I remember how furious you were, and saying it was a shame to be cheated that way, eh, Perk?
45973If you do n''t expect him to swallow it what then, partner?
45973Jest hear the people a shoutin''will yeou?
45973Jest so, partner,Perk instantly commented;"an''what air yeou agoin''to pass on to me, I wanter know?"
45973Just fishing again, eh, Perk-- want to know what I think covering the game, is n''t that so? 45973 Kin we climb daown outen this tree naow, partner?"
45973Kinder reckon on makin''the jump then, air yeou, boss?
45973Meanin'', I kinder guess, as heow that party might be in the Secret Service like we air-- does that fill the bill, Jack?
45973Meanin''it''s the end o''a perfect day, eh, what?
45973Meaning the earth, I reckon, eh, Perk?
45973More organization stuff, eh?
45973Naow whatever kin yeou mean by that same remark, Jack, ole boy?
45973Not any, partner,he told Perk, resolutely;"what do you take me for, a weakling, or a shirker?
45973Nothing else you noticed, partner?
45973Ready, all?
45973Remember my telling you about that cook chap they''ve got, waiting on them, and all that, Perk?
45973Say, doant tell me yeou run acrost that big hill- billy o''a grizzly, Jack?
45973Say, have heart, wo nt yeou, partner, an''please do n''t aggravate the situation so bad? 45973 Say, what_ would n''t_ I give right naow if on''y I could ketch that confident spirit my best pal''s got mixed up in his mind an''heart?"
45973Seems like there ai nt nawthin''we kin do to make things easier, eh, buddy?
45973Show tonight, Jack?
45973Simeon-- Simeon Balderson?
45973So you reckoned he was some interested in us, did you, Perk? 45973 So, that''s the wonderful Hawk, is it, partner?"
45973Some important, I takes it, buddy?
45973Somethin''o''a mob here tonight, partner?
45973Still o''the opinion the kid might be his''n?
45973Storm agoin''to hold us up, mebbe naow, partner?
45973Sure thing, Jack, but did n''t he manage a wonderful landin'', an''keep from a bad smashup, on''y hurtin''his shoulder in the jam?
45973Sure thing, Jack; then I kinder guess the letter must be from Headquarters?
45973That''s what he''s adoin''then, yeou figger, eh, Jack?
45973The first job we''re going to tackle is along the line of making a safe and sane landing-- you get that of course, Perk?
45973Then do yeou guess they knowed we was ahead on the same track, eh, Jack, ole hoss?
45973Then what_ does_ ail you, boy-- something gone wrong with your plans-- can I do anything to ease the strain? 45973 Then you recognize it from the brief description he gave on the side of his tissue- paper chart, do you, Perk?"
45973Then you say it''s a portrait of Slim Garrabrant?
45973Then-- yeou_ know_ him, I''m understandin''boy?
45973We were talking about a certain scoundrel who''s name we''ve seen so often of late in the papers-- remember, Perk?
45973Well, what''s aour programme agoin''to be?
45973What puts you in the dumps so, Perk?
45973What''s eating you, buddy?
45973What''s happened here?
45973What''s in the wind this time?
45973What''s that, partner?
45973Which tree?
45973Which would mean we got some hours to kill,''fore mornin''comes along to give us a show fur aour money, eh, Jack, ole boy?
45973Why not, when they''ve pulled off some mighty big shake- downs during the last few months, and must have raked in a heap of dough? 45973 Why waste any more time when there''s no need?"
45973Wonder what time it kin be, Jack; caint get a peep at my wrist watch in all this darkness, yeou know?
45973Yeah, yeou said it, partner-- I kinder guess naow it was a ship up here in this same sea we''re buzzin''through, do n''t yeou?
45973Yeou doant kinder guess Simeon he might give us away in his excitement, eh, partner?
45973Yeou says as haow yeou knowed this guy Simeon some, did n''t yeou, partner?
45973Yeou_ would_ do jest that, ole pal, would n''t yeou? 45973 You mean that sound in the fog pack, do n''t you?"
45973You seem to know some one, Perk, from what you''re saying?
45973You''re going to know everything that I do, Perk; that goes without question; for how could we work together as a team if we pulled contrarywise?
45973Ai nt that time come''raound yet, buddy?"
45973And then, when they had a good grist of bogus stuff to scatter over the western country, how easy to send it out aboard that swift airship?
45973But I wonder--""What do you wonder, Perk?"
45973But did yeou happen to hear a ship takin''off jest after we slid aout, boss?"
45973But like as not we orter be makin''up aour plans, had n''t we, Jack?"
45973But the devil of it is, can he ever be retaken?
45973CHAPTER VIII THE WINGED MESSENGER"Coast seems to be clear, eh, Jack?"
45973CHAPTER XXV SQUATTERS''RIGHTS"Yeou doan''t reckon as haow anybody kin see a fire, if so be I started a little blaze back in here, do yeou, partner?"
45973Do we get a move on right away, mate?"
45973Forgive it, Perk, wo nt you?"
45973Get out, and stay out, d''ye hear, boy?"
45973Get that, do you?"
45973Get that, pard?"
45973Goin''doawn, are yeou, Jack?"
45973Haow dye like that swipe, I''m askin''o''yeou,--a sweet upper- cut I got a copyright on?
45973Haow far''bout do yeou figger goin''on this tack, I want to know?"
45973Haow''bout the next move, sense it seems we''ve got this far okay?"
45973Honest Injun, neow, Jack, ai n''t yeou any idea when we''re apt to grab an order to get goin''again?"
45973How about it, Perk?"
45973How yeou gittin''on with things, Jack?"
45973How''bout the kid-- dye kinder guess he''ll have a bad time with that leg?"
45973I get yeou, buddy-- meanin''the queer pass that''s so narrow three hossmen could n''t enter abreast-- is that straight, Jack?"
45973I see you''re trying to keep him from swilling it down, Perk; must have some object in letting the stuff run all over his back as you''re doing?"
45973I wonder neow could it be them gluttonus birds they been pickin''the bones o''thet poor Simeon what disappeared''raound this section o''kentry?
45973I wonder--""What neow, Jack?"
45973If it keeps on we''ll be apt to forget heow to handle a ship, an''get air shy-- neow_ would n''t_ that same be a tough joke on us poor guys?"
45973Lay off, partner, an''gimme a run fur my money, wo n''t yeou?"
45973Naow, what''s next on the programme, tell me?"
45973Put your arms around my neck, and I''ll be able to hold you better-- that''s the way, kiddie; you know I''m a good friend of yours, do n''t you?"
45973Ready to start on aour way, be yeou, partner?"
45973S''pose it does that same, what''s bound to happen to us dicks runnin''wild up here, I want to know?"
45973See anybody yeou happens to know''round here partner?"
45973Some galoots air built that way, yeou savvy?
45973Think that happy day ever will come, Jack?"
45973We could n''t play our hands if the man we want so badly has gone off with his crowd, to hold up some bank, or treasure train, could we?
45973We jest got to do aour best, an''leave the rest-- aint I been adoin''that same mighty near all my whole life?
45973What could it all mean, I wonder?"
45973What in tarnation kin_ he_ be doin''out this way-- yeou do n''t figger he''s goin''to butt in on aour job, do yeou?"
45973What''s the answer, Jack?"
45973Who knows where he lives?"
45973Yeou ai n''t agoin''to stagger me by sayin''that this here cook might be_ him_?"
45973Yeou mean that boob was no other than Slippery Slim hisself, the Ole Scratch we''re runnin''after right at this minute, doant yeou, partner mine?
45973ai nt it awful thick, though?"
45973allers is some kinder drawback to every game I hatch up-- we ai nt got any rope fur a fack; which is too bad, ai nt it?
45973baby, ai nt the fur bound to fly when I get workin''my jaws reg''lar onct again?"
45973boy?"
45973but ai nt this jest grand?"
45973but_ did_ yeou ever hear o''sech great luck in all yeour born days?
45973c''n yeou beat it, partner?"
45973did yeou_ ever_ see sech a buster o''a bar?"
45973do n''t be so het up an''greedy, Mister; I sure ai nt atryin''to get yeou soaked-- seems like he''s quite took to the bottle, do n''t it, Jack?"
45973doant it beat the Dutch, Jack, haow chumps like that kin lick up all the cream on a pan o''milk, leavin''the skim stuff to honest folks?
45973does that mean yeou got a squint o''somethin''worth while, partner?"
45973he muttered, just loud enough for Jack to hear him,"so_ that''s_ what took ole Nat outen San Diego, was it?
45973ole boy, do yeou smell it a''ready, to be makin''sech faces at me?
45973partner, does that same mean we kin get started this very night to make contact with Simeon?"
45973that''s a familiar sound I''m picking up, eh, what, Perk?"
45973then yeou been a nosin''''raound this queer hole back o''the cliff, an''mebbe run acrost somethin''wuth knowin'', eh, what, partner?"
45973things_ do_ seem to be headin''aour way, do n''t they though, Jack?
45973wake me up somebody, wo nt yeou kindly?"
45973what''s in the wind now, I want to know?"
45973why caint a gink do a simple thing like we done without people wantin''to gush over him?
45973why did yeou ever mention sech a thing, Pal Jack?
35661''Is this true, Richardson?'' 35661 ''What has happened, Richardson?''
35661A million, two millions? 35661 A what, Selby?"
35661About eleven, I suppose?
35661Absolutely?
35661Am I to do so?
35661And Lady Deringham?
35661And Mr. Blatherwick,he asked,"where was he all the time?"
35661And afterwards?
35661And do you expect me,Captain Ackinson remarked,"to hand over the person in question to you on the authority of that document?"
35661And he? 35661 And how,"he asked,"did you know that I meant to go to America?"
35661And if he is still-- as he was in London-- must this be goodbye, then?
35661And may I not add mine too?
35661And she?
35661And that?
35661And what,she asked, looking at him steadily,"has brought you to Deringham, of all places upon this earth?"
35661And why this seclusion, Sir Misanthrope?
35661And you are going there now?
35661And you will remember what I have told you?
35661And you, Harcutt?
35661And you,she said,"you have their bond?"
35661And you?
35661And your niece,Lady Deringham asked;"who is she?
35661And your offer?
35661And your reward,she said,"what is that to be?"
35661Are all your sisters, may I ask, as delightful as you?
35661Are n''t you going to take me anywhere?
35661Are we arrested, Captain?
35661Are you alluding to Lord Wolfenden?
35661Are you compelled to do so?
35661Are you going to town?
35661Are you in earnest,he asked,"when you speak of leaving England so soon?"
35661Are you never serious?
35661Are you staying down here for long?
35661Are you sure that it is not a blind?
35661Are you sure?
35661Are you the captain?
35661Are you waiting for Lord Wolfenden?
35661Ay, but would it be an idle errand?
35661Been here long?
35661Blanche,he said,"has anything gone wrong with you?
35661Blatherwick,Wolfenden exclaimed,"what has happened this morning?
35661But by the bye, can you tell me what became of the fellow? 35661 But do n''t you see how easy it will be for us to find out?
35661But do you not know,she said hesitatingly,"that my husband is a great invalid?
35661But outside the house has he no suspicions at all?
35661But the captain-- surely he will never consent to help?
35661But why,she asked, languidly,"are you interested in such matters?"
35661But you do not know with whom?
35661But you will write to me?
35661But your friends?
35661But-- but you,Watson exclaimed, bewildered,"you do n''t want to be killed, surely?"
35661By force?
35661By the bye,the girl asked,"who is he?"
35661Can I get you anything, my lord?
35661Can I offer you anything-- a glass of claret or Benedictine?
35661Can you get a basin and a towel without any one seeing you?
35661Can you tell me when he will be back?
35661Come to have a smoke, Blatherwick?
35661Could n''t you put up with it a little longer?
35661Densham, do you realise that we are really in for war?
35661Detected?
35661Did I say that I was interested in him?
35661Did I tell you that I had given them all back to you?
35661Did either of you go to the reception?
35661Did he take away any papers with him?
35661Did n''t he go mad, or something?
35661Did n''t you ask me,she said,"whether I had ever met the man?
35661Did she-- did Mr. Sabin know your position, did he understand that you are the future Earl of Deringham?
35661Did the Admiral engage a new typewriter?
35661Did they know,Mr. Sabin asked carelessly,"that the room opposite was occupied?"
35661Did you believe a story like that, Felix? 35661 Did you ever see a vessel like that, Johnson?"
35661Did you say here?
35661Did you say one?
35661Did you secure the fellow?
35661Did you see him?
35661Did you see your husband''s face when he passed us?
35661Do n''t you know that dressing is altogether a matter of one''s maid? 35661 Do n''t you know-- Helène-- that I love you?
35661Do n''t you trust me, Blanche?
35661Do you know anything of what has happened?
35661Do you know that this is the first walk that I have ever had in London?
35661Do you know the news?
35661Do you know the time, Violet? 35661 Do you know what he was doing there?
35661Do you know what that means?
35661Do you know who it was that sent me to you?
35661Do you know,he asked Wolfenden, when he had sponged his face,"whom I was following?"
35661Do you know,he inquired,"whose house that is?"
35661Do you mean to say that you have not found out?
35661Do you mean to tell me that you-- in cold blood-- are working for so visionary, so impossible an end?
35661Do you mean to tell me,he exclaimed,"that charming little woman is not an American at all?--that she is a fraud?"
35661Do you mean,he said slowly,"that you can not care for me, or that there are difficulties which seem to you to make it impossible?"
35661Do you mind telling me exactly what you mean by that?
35661Do you really believe,he said,"that ours is a country which could possibly stand in any such danger?
35661Do you really mean it?
35661Do you want to know what they were?
35661Do you?
35661Does it make so much difference?
35661Does your unfortunate husband know?
35661Father,Wolfenden exclaimed,"what on earth is the matter?"
35661For how long, I wonder,she said smiling,"will you be able to content yourself there?"
35661For what purpose?
35661From Lobenski?
35661Golf?
35661Had I?
35661Had you not better be a little more explicit?
35661Has Mr. Sabin not arrived?
35661Has anything fresh happened, mother?
35661Has he any occupation beyond this hobby of which you spoke?
35661Has he been making love to you?
35661Has he outstepped the law, been guilty of any crime?
35661Have another cigar?
35661Have n''t I told you,she said,"that there is not the slightest chance of their taking me back?
35661Have you any plan?
35661Have you asked for an introduction?
35661Have you come to ask me to go for a drive in that wonderful vehicle?
35661Have you ever heard of the Doomschen?
35661Have you finished copying those awful details of the defective armour plates?
35661Have you killed him?
35661Have you learnt anything,Wolfenden asked,"concerning his niece?"
35661Have you left Lord Deringham?
35661Have you seen the paper?
35661Have you tested it yourself?
35661Have you yourself,he said,"never seen any of your father''s manuscripts?
35661He has ceased now, I suppose,Mr. Sabin remarked,"to take much interest in the matter?"
35661He is a man,Mr. Sabin remarked,"whom you can trust, I suppose?
35661He is a political journalist, is he not?
35661He is not one of ours, is he?
35661He refused, of course?
35661He was there when the fellow bolted?
35661He would not tell you, I suppose, even at the last, what it was that he had heard about-- these people?
35661Helène, why should we discuss him? 35661 How about the roses?"
35661How about this letter?
35661How are you going?
35661How could he have dared?
35661How dare you, sir?
35661How did you escape?
35661How did you get out?
35661How long were you in the study before Dr. Whitlett arrived?
35661How long will it be,she asked,"before your work is complete?"
35661How, then, do you mean to get at these papers of his?
35661I beg your pardon, my lord, but were you expecting a young lady?
35661I believe I have your address:''Westacott Farm, Fakenham,''is it not? 35661 I hope,"he said,"that at any rate you will allow me to call, and say goodbye before you leave England?"
35661I liked his picture-- a French landscape, was it not? 35661 I mean, to remain away?"
35661I must go,she said;"do you hear how late it is?"
35661I presume that this letter, then, is a forgery?
35661I should be glad to know, sir,he said,"on what grounds you consider my voice in the affair to be ineffective?"
35661I should rather like to have a little chat with you,he said quietly;"you are not afraid, are you?
35661I suppose,he said, turning to his mother,"you could manage to get him away from the library for a short time?"
35661I suppose,the captain asked, looking at her through his glass,"you satisfied yourself that her shaft was really broken?"
35661I think,he said,"that you will listen now to a little plan which has just occurred to me, will you not?"
35661I want to know,Wolfenden said,"why it is impossible?
35661I wanted to ask you, Lord Wolfenden,she said, drawing her fingers slowly away from his lingering clasp,"does this locket belong to you?"
35661I wonder what Henri would say if he knew?
35661I wonder what put this new delusion into his head? 35661 I wonder, did you expect me to- night?
35661I wonder-- have you by chance spoken of me to your son?
35661If they are in a hurry the_ Alaska_ is due up to- day, is n''t she? 35661 If,"Felix said slowly,"the price of your success at Teheran should be the breach of our covenants with France-- what then?
35661In what way,she said, without directly looking at him,"is Lord Wolfenden likely to be useful to you?"
35661Is Miss Sabin up yet?
35661Is Mrs. Peterson at home?
35661Is any one hurt?
35661Is anything wrong?
35661Is he alone?
35661Is he any use now?
35661Is his Excellency within?
35661Is it any use,he murmured in a low tone,"saying that I am sorry for this?"
35661Is it anything important, Felix?
35661Is it possible, Helène,he said,"that you have allowed yourself to think seriously of the love- making of this young man?
35661Is she dead?
35661Is she your daughter?
35661Is that a carriage at this time of night?
35661Is that a hint for me to go?
35661Is that better?
35661Is that much money?
35661Is that what you mean?
35661Is the train quite full, then?
35661Is there anything which I can bring you?
35661Is there not some mistake?
35661Is this yours?
35661It does not matter, does it? 35661 It is a fascinating game, is it not?"
35661It is also, I suppose, a fair imitation of your handwriting, for Lady Deringham accepted it as such?
35661It is no better, then?
35661It is true that you-- forgive me?
35661It''s a long time, is n''t it, since we played?
35661Just a little sliced, was n''t it?
35661Lady Deringham has explained to you the reason of my untimely visit, I presume?
35661Lady Deringham surely took your part?
35661Let me remember,she said,"I am to see that you have-- what was it?
35661Lord Wolfenden?
35661Man- of- war, is n''t she?
35661Master? 35661 May I ask what you are going to do next?"
35661May I ask, a friendly message, or otherwise?
35661May I come and see you?
35661May I come in with you?
35661May I come with you-- a little way along the cliffs?
35661May I have some more tea?
35661May I inquire what that is?
35661May I know what they were? 35661 May I really?"
35661May I?
35661Mr. Sabin has not been to pour out his gratitude yet, then?
35661Mr. Sabin interests you professionally?
35661Mr. Sabin is doing a little flirting, is he? 35661 My dear Francis,"she said, quietly,"why do n''t you tell me what is the matter with you?
35661My dear lady,he said,"I have been suffering the pangs of the neglected, but how dared I break in upon so confidential a_ tête- à- tête_?"
35661My husband?
35661Of course you knew though that it was going to be rather difficult to please my father, did n''t you? 35661 Perhaps,"Mr. Sabin remarked,"you would have been better pleased if I had not come?"
35661Quite melodramatic, was n''t it?
35661Rather a sell, is n''t it?
35661Selby, are your wife''s rooms still vacant?
35661Shall I?
35661Shall we sit down a moment, Mr. Watson? 35661 So I gathered; and who is Lord Wolfenden?"
35661So I thought,Lady Deringham agreed;"but Dr. Whitlett''s explanation seems perfectly feasible, does it not?
35661So you are only a lacquey after all, then?
35661Sugar?
35661Tell me,she murmured,"what are you thinking about?"
35661That might have accounted for your presence here as a private individual,he said;"but professionally, how on earth can he interest you?"
35661That''s a somewhat unusual trait for your countrywoman, is it not?
35661The gentleman''s a golf- player, maybe?
35661The girl herself----?
35661The lady?
35661The one you were driving yesterday?
35661The young lady-- did she refuse you from personal reasons? 35661 Then you were not expecting her?"
35661There is no one,he said slowly,"who could coerce you?
35661There is no reason, I suppose,Mr. Sabin continued,"why a portion of the vacation you were speaking of should not be spent there?"
35661There is nothing much wrong physically with the Admiral, I hope?
35661They have a warrant, then?
35661This will affect us?
35661To whom? 35661 Was it my fancy, John?
35661Well, Blanche, what has gone wrong?
35661Well, how are you getting on, old chap?
35661Well, sir?
35661Well, then, who is the lady?
35661Well,he said,"what of him?
35661Well,he said,"why not?
35661Well?
35661Well?
35661What about his revolver?
35661What about your golf?
35661What are we going to do?
35661What are you doing here?
35661What are you going to do in America?
35661What are you going to do now?
35661What did she say about the girl?
35661What do you know of Miss Merton?
35661What do you mean?
35661What do you mean?
35661What do you mean?
35661What do you propose to do now? 35661 What do you think of me, Wolfenden?"
35661What do you want of me?
35661What do you want with me?
35661What does Dr. Whitlett think of him? 35661 What does he have to do?"
35661What does he know?
35661What does it all mean?
35661What does she want?
35661What fortune?
35661What happened?
35661What has happened?
35661What has happened?
35661What has happened?
35661What is his name?
35661What is it, Foo Cha? 35661 What is it?
35661What is it?
35661What is it?
35661What is it?
35661What is that little flag?
35661What is the name of the gentleman to whom all this refers?
35661What made him attack me just now without any warning? 35661 What of it?"
35661What on earth do you mean?
35661What on earth has brought you up to town-- and here-- at this time of night? 35661 What on earth is the matter with your friend Wilmot?"
35661What shall I wear? 35661 What ship?
35661What use did he propose to make of the Admiral''s papers if he succeeded in stealing them?
35661What was the man like? 35661 What you want with me?"
35661What you want?
35661What''s up outside?
35661What, do you know her?
35661What, in the name of all that''s wonderful, are you doing here?
35661Whatever are you doing here?
35661When did you hear of this?
35661Where am I?
35661Where did you get your caddie?
35661Where did you meet him? 35661 Where have you shown him?"
35661Where is that reptile Blatherwick? 35661 Where is the Admiral, Groves?"
35661Where is your master?
35661Where on earth did you spring from, old chap?
35661Where was it I saw him last? 35661 Where?"
35661Who are they?
35661Who is he?
35661Who is it, Wolfenden-- has your father shot any one?
35661Who is she, and what is she, and why has she come at all? 35661 Who is she?"
35661Who is with him?
35661Who is your opponent?
35661Who let him into the library?
35661Who refused you-- Mr. Sabin or his niece?
35661Who says so?
35661Who was that man?
35661Who was the man?
35661Who?
35661Why are you masquerading in cheap lodgings, and why do they say at Kensington that you have gone abroad? 35661 Why could he not go to the Admiral himself?"
35661Why could n''t they signal what they wanted?
35661Why did he not try to stop him?
35661Why did you ask him?
35661Why do n''t you ask him to join us? 35661 Why does your uncle object to me so much?"
35661Why should there be any next step at all?
35661Why was Lady Deringham glad to have you go?
35661Why, how the-- excuse me, how on earth did you get in?
35661Why, my dear Mr. Blatherwick, what on earth are you doing here?
35661Why?
35661Why?
35661Why?
35661Will he not help you at all?
35661Will that do?
35661Will you forgive me?
35661Will you order something for me? 35661 Will you please define good behaviour?"
35661Will you tell me the incident at once, please?
35661With pleasure,he answered;"but first wo n''t you gratify a natural and very specific curiosity of mine?
35661Wo n''t you allow me to give you a lift?
35661Wo n''t you come and walk with me, James?
35661Wo n''t you come into my club here, and have a wash?
35661Wo n''t you prove the contrary?
35661Wo n''t you step this way?
35661Wolfenden is, I believe, the family name of the Deringhams? 35661 Would mademoiselle prefer that I, too, travelled with her?"
35661Would you l-- like me to leave you here-- would it be better?
35661Yes, it''s getting pretty dreary down here, is n''t it? 35661 Yes?"
35661You are going for good?
35661You are going to give me the letters?
35661You are interested in him, are you not?
35661You are not one of them?
35661You are quite sure, I suppose,Wolfenden asked, after a moment''s hesitation,"that it is all wasted work?"
35661You are really going away, then?
35661You are right,the other man answered slowly;"and yet who can tell what lies before us?
35661You are, I presume, in earnest?
35661You are-- of what nationality, may I ask?
35661You asked her-- what?
35661You call her?
35661You do not bear me any ill- will then?
35661You do not consider, then, that my father''s work is of any value at all?
35661You fellows are rather late, are n''t you?
35661You gave it to him?
35661You had no cause,she said gently;"and Mr. Blatherwick, have n''t you forgotten something?"
35661You had, I presume,Mr. Sabin remarked,"some object in coming to see the last of me?
35661You have considered, then, the possibility of upsetting my schemes and withdrawing your part?
35661You have found out something, then?
35661You have had no temptation to flirt then with anybody else, have you?
35661You have it back now? 35661 You have met her abroad, maybe?"
35661You have not come to see me?
35661You have not succeeded, then, in obtaining what you want from Lord Deringham?
35661You have not then forgotten your golf, Mr. Sabin? 35661 You have not, I suppose, seen a morning paper-- or rather last night''s paper?"
35661You have promised somebody else?
35661You have spent some time examining it yourself,she said in a low tone;"what was your own opinion?"
35661You know her, then?
35661You know whose house this is?
35661You may be right,she said;"but who of all the Frenchwomen I know would care to reckon themselves the debtors of Germany?"
35661You understand that your marriage with Henri would be an absolute necessity-- that without it all would be chaos?
35661You went to see, then?
35661You will not forget the letter?
35661You will not go away? 35661 You will promise not to leave him, or to send for a doctor?"
35661You will tell me all about America,he said, rising and drawing back her chair,"to- morrow?"
35661You''ve tried him?
35661Your assailant was, I suppose, a stranger to you?
35661Your family?
35661Your friend,remarked Mr. Sabin, helping himself to an ortolan,"is a journalist, is he not?
35661Your husband,he remarked a moment or two later, as he arranged her cushions,"does not care for the evening air?"
35661Your husband?
35661Your plans,she said,"are admirable; but what of me?"
35661''Where is Richardson?''
35661Admiral Deringham was not concerned with the actual disaster in any way, was he?"
35661After all, why not?
35661Am I the first man whose footsteps upon the sands have fallen lightly?
35661And now,"he said, looking back towards his papers,"how about the present?
35661Are all Englishmen as confident as you?"
35661Are my wishes, my prayers, nothing to you?"
35661Are you coming in here?"
35661Are you enjoying your golf?"
35661Are you going to America on pleasure, or have you business there?"
35661Are you in a hurry, or can you walk up and down the drive with me once or twice?"
35661Are you not?"
35661Are you, too, an alien?"
35661As for Henri, what has he to complain of?
35661B. Watson of New York, yacht owner and millionaire?
35661Blatherwick?"
35661But first, would you care to do me a small service?
35661But is that quite nice of you, Mr. Sabin, to call my husband an unfortunate man?"
35661But what on earth did that man, whoever he was, expect to find in my father''s study that he should make an elaborate attempt like this to enter it?
35661But why do you want to kill him?"
35661But why does he call himself Mr. C.?
35661But you?"
35661By the bye, did either of you fellows follow them home last night?"
35661By the bye, have you heard from Henri lately?"
35661By the bye, have you seen anything of Mr. Sabin to- day?"
35661By the bye, what does Blatherwick say about all this?"
35661By the bye, what is that extraordinary looking affair like a sentry- box doing there?"
35661By what means?
35661CHAPTER VII WHO IS MR. SABIN?
35661CHAPTER XIX WOLFENDEN''S LOVE- MAKING"Lord Wolfenden?"
35661CHAPTER XVI GENIUS OR MADNESS?
35661Ca n''t you help me?
35661Ca n''t you see him, boy?"
35661Can I be of any assistance to you?"
35661Can I come on board?"
35661Can you not believe what I tell you?
35661Can you see whose name is upon the card, Densham?"
35661Denvers is a good fellow, and he and the Admiral were great friends once, were n''t they?"
35661Did any one go after him?"
35661Did he ask you any questions about the locality?
35661Did he seem like an ordinary thief?"
35661Did he show any curiosity in any of the residents?"
35661Did n''t you hear what Flaskett said last week?
35661Did she know, he wondered, that he had been watching her like an owl all the time?
35661Did you ever meet him?"
35661Did you see his stick?"
35661Do n''t you ever shoot or ride for a change?"
35661Do n''t you know that to- day nobody is cynical except schoolboys and dyspeptics?
35661Do n''t you think perhaps that you are a little lonely?
35661Do n''t you want to take my chair down by the side of the boat there?
35661Do you follow me?"
35661Do you know any one in London?"
35661Do you know anything about it?
35661Do you know he wants to marry me?"
35661Do you know this?
35661Do you know what they want?"
35661Do you like my gown?"
35661Do you mean to say that you have left for good?"
35661Do you mind waiting while I get my things on?
35661Do you think that I could do that?"
35661Do you think that Lord Deringham would know me again after so many years?"
35661Do you think that she would stretch out her little finger to aid a tottering republic and keep back a king from the throne of France?
35661Do you want to know what he required them for?
35661Do you wish to remain Mr. Sabin to him also?"
35661Does he remain in Norfolk all the year round?"
35661Does he suspect any one in particular?"
35661England is not at war with anybody, is she?"
35661Even now, Constance, will you think me very weak when I say that I part with them with regret?
35661Father, wo n''t you sound the gong?
35661Forgive me, but you are really, then, attached to the Embassy?"
35661GENIUS OR MADNESS?
35661Granted that sentiments of friendship exist between Russia and France, do you not think that Russia would not sooner see France a monarchy?
35661Had Densham discovered anything further than he himself knew about this man and the girl?
35661Had he made up his mind which way to turn the scale?
35661Had he some other reason for this visit of his?
35661Had n''t you the impression, from her answer, that it was more the force of circumstances than any objection to you which prompted her negative?
35661Has Lord Wolfenden asked you to marry him?"
35661Has he never explained the scheme of his work to you?"
35661Has he seen him lately?
35661Has that fellow been frightening or ill- using you?"
35661Have I been tricked?
35661Have I made it clear?"
35661Have n''t you dropped something there?"
35661Have things gone wrong?"
35661Have you any idea where Mr. Sabin is?"
35661Have you gone mad, Selby?"
35661Have you seen Lady Susan lately?
35661Have you?"
35661Having assured you of that, I want to know if you will help me?"
35661He is like-- who is it he is like?
35661He''s not her father, then?"
35661Helène, will you see that Lord Wolfenden has which liqueur he prefers?"
35661Here or in London?"
35661How are they all at Deringham Hall-- the dear old Admiral and the Countess, and that remarkably silly young man, Lord Wolfenden?"
35661How could he have been so blind?
35661How could we possibly become embroiled?"
35661How did you come across him, Wolfenden, and where does he hail from?"
35661How else can we account for the deliberate efforts which have been made to obtain possession of it?"
35661How is everybody?
35661How is the Admiral to- day?"
35661How is the work getting on?"
35661How much does he know?"
35661How much more of it is there for me to do?"
35661I am lying,"he said softly;"why should I?
35661I believe you said you did not know the lady?"
35661I could not think anything else, could I?"
35661I did n''t even leave a message for you, did I?
35661I do n''t think that I ought to have come, ought I?"
35661I hope that you will not hurry away; may I not offer you a cigarette?"
35661I should like to ask you why you have in your employ a young lady who was dismissed from Deringham Hall under circumstances of strong suspicion?"
35661I should like to know exactly what part of my father''s work you are so anxious to avail yourself of, and for what purpose?"
35661I think I may conclude that the report is correct?"
35661I want to know for what nationality you would have taken me if you had not been informed?"
35661I want to know whether you fellows are bent upon seeing this thing through?"
35661I want to know who he was?"
35661I wonder how he managed it?"
35661I wonder how many there have been in the course of his long life who desired to kill him?
35661I wonder if there is any chance of his getting over it?"
35661I wonder in what direction Lord Deringham will look for your successor?"
35661I wonder whether you would mind going yourself and asking him to step this way?"
35661I wonder, would you and your niece do me the honour of having some tea with me?
35661If it was simply to be assassination, why so elaborate an artifice?
35661If your interest is really, as you suggest, at an end, what are you doing down here?
35661If, when you say professionally, you mean as a journalist, why, what on earth in this place can there be worth the chronicling?
35661In the old days you used to terrify me almost; are you still as daring?"
35661In this room?"
35661In what way?"
35661Is Lord Wolfenden-- your lover?"
35661Is anything wrong at Deringham?"
35661Is he coming here?"
35661Is it a time, do you think, for scruples or for maudlin sentiment?
35661Is it anything you wish to ask of me?"
35661Is it not?"
35661Is it, then, that you care for this other man, and not for me?"
35661Is my husband''s work of any real value, and if so to whom, and for what purpose?"
35661Is n''t it pleasant to meet people who are different from other people?"
35661Is no one on duty?"
35661Is that explicit enough?"
35661Is that quite fair, Constance?"
35661Is there any news?"
35661It is Englishmen, is it not, who go always to the Rocky Mountains to shoot bears when their love affairs go wrong?"
35661It is Wolfenden, is it not?"
35661It is a matter of money, I suppose; will you name your terms to come over to my side?"
35661Lord Wolfenden, I believe?"
35661May I ask, are you any relation to Admiral Lord Deringham?"
35661May I inquire if you are Mr. Sabin, sir?"
35661May I not know best?
35661May I sit at your table?"
35661Might you be having a handicap, sir?"
35661Mine''s a good''oss, but what is he against a pair and a light brougham?
35661Mr. Wilson, will you be sending me two boys down from the house?"
35661Need I say any more?"
35661Now do you understand?"
35661Now what do you suppose brings Mr. Sabin to such an out of the way hole as this?"
35661Now will you please all go away?"
35661Now, suppose that Henri stands alone; do n''t you see that your cousin, Louis of Bourbon, is almost as near in the direct line?
35661Now, what is it you want to ask me, Lord Wolfenden?"
35661Now, what will buy your memory, and your departure from this train, at the next station?"
35661Now, will you answer me a few questions?
35661Of what use were the ordinary weapons of his kind against an antagonist such as this?
35661Perhaps the secure position of your country does not require such ardent service?"
35661Peterson?"
35661Rank?
35661Rather a saturnine- looking personage, is n''t he?"
35661Sabin?"
35661Sabin?"
35661Sabin?"
35661Sabin?"
35661Sabin?"
35661Sabin?"
35661Sabin?"
35661Sabin?"
35661Sabin?"
35661Shall I drive?
35661Shall we change the subject now?"
35661Shall we pull together or separately?"
35661She was making tea on deck-- might she have the loan of the captain''s table, and would they come?
35661Should he not?
35661Should he?
35661Should he?
35661Sounds like a fairy tale, does n''t it?
35661Supposing I break off my negotiations in other quarters, are you willing to pay my price?"
35661Surely he did not wish to kill me?"
35661Surely you could have found them another?"
35661Tell me what you are going to do now?"
35661Tell me when I can find you at home alone?"
35661Tell me, dear, wo n''t you give me a chance?"
35661That is putting it plainly, is it not?
35661That is so, is it not?"
35661That yellow satin gown that you like, or say you like, so much?"
35661Then why did n''t you make their acquaintance?"
35661They told me that he was dead.... Has he crawled back out of hell?
35661This is a disappointment to you; well, is not our life one long torturing disappointment?
35661To what has my interest in things of high import brought me?
35661WHO IS MR. SABIN?
35661Was he already making up his mind that the game could be played without her?
35661Was he in the room?"
35661Was it a man?
35661Was it a sign of coming trouble, that for the first time for many years he had abandoned himself to the impotent morbidness of abstract thought?
35661Was n''t he banished from France for something or other-- intriguing for the restoration of the Monarchy, I think it was?"
35661Was n''t it yesterday, or the day before?"
35661Was she indeed a past mistress in all the arts of coquetry, or was there not some message for him in that lowered tone and softened glance?
35661Was she too as impenetrable as the man, or would he some day share with her what there was of sorrow or of mystery in her young life?
35661Was the girl a fool, or only an adventuress?
35661Was the woman brought as a decoy?
35661Was there any relationship?
35661Watson?"
35661We shall always be glad that we met you, shall we not, Helène?
35661Well, why do n''t you call the police?
35661Well, why not free it still?
35661Were you looking for me?"
35661What are you doing here?"
35661What can hers be, do you suppose, if she will sup alone with him in a public restaurant?"
35661What can you offer Germany to exact so tremendous a price?"
35661What could France give her in return?
35661What did she expect from him?
35661What do you make of it?"
35661What do you say, Wolfenden?"
35661What do you think of my little course?"
35661What do you want?
35661What does it all mean?
35661What had he to fear?
35661What has he to do with my work?"
35661What have you against him, Lord Wolfenden?"
35661What help do you want, and for what purpose?"
35661What if they were all wrong-- if the work to which the best years of his life had gone was really of the immense importance he claimed for it?
35661What in the name of all that''s wonderful were you trying to do?"
35661What is it?"
35661What is it?"
35661What is this devilry, Blanche?"
35661What is your opinion?"
35661What liqueurs, Harcutt?"
35661What of us, indeed?
35661What possible business can you have with my uncle which does not include me?
35661What was he going to do in this great, strange land, whose ways were not his ways, and whose sympathies lay so far apart from his?
35661What was he going to say?
35661What was it?
35661What was their plan of action?
35661What was to be done-- what could she say?
35661What were we talking about?
35661What will it be, I wonder-- Emperor, Dictator, President of a Republic, the Minister of an Emperor?
35661What would she gain by plunging into an exhausting war?
35661When can you call and conclude arrangements?
35661Where are you going to sleep to- night-- in your state- room or in the deck cabin?"
35661Where can we see you afterwards?"
35661Where could you have dropped from this morning?"
35661Where is he now?"
35661Where is that hound?"
35661Where is-- she?"
35661Where on earth did that come from?"
35661Where should you go to if you ran away like that?
35661Where was Mr. Sabin?
35661Which way were you going?"
35661Which will you have, spot, or plain?"
35661Who are you?
35661Who are you?"
35661Who has been here?"
35661Who was this Mr. Sabin, that so great a man should talk with him so earnestly?
35661Who were these people?
35661Whoever heard of a Mr. Sabin?
35661Why should I not be frank with you, my friend?
35661Why should she?
35661Why, have you seen the papers to- night?
35661Why, what for?
35661Will you be good enough to give it to me?"
35661Will you let me consider for a few moments?"
35661Will you not be warned?
35661Will you pardon a novice at necromancy if he asks you how you found your way here?"
35661Will you please think of another subject?"
35661Will you take care of him until I return?"
35661Will you try some of my salad?"
35661Wo n''t you tell me about some of the odd places you have visited?"
35661Wolfenden hesitated; yet why not tell the man the truth?
35661Wolfenden, will you take Dr. Wilmot into the study?"
35661Would you care for my mother to come and see you?
35661You are a wonderful man, but how can you hope to move nations?
35661You are for America, then?"
35661You are not angry with me?"
35661You are not going away, Helène?"
35661You are ready for me?"
35661You are the Mr. Sabin with whom my son was playing golf yesterday morning?"
35661You do n''t mind?"
35661You do n''t want to send me away, do you?"
35661You do not know Mr. Blatherwick?
35661You have come to explain everything?"
35661You have destroyed it?"
35661You have never come across him, I suppose?"
35661You have not been seeking to settle accounts with him, I trust, after our conversation, and your promise?"
35661You know Harcutt?"
35661You remember it?
35661You understand me now when I say that I can not treat with your country?
35661You understand me?"
35661You will be home to dinner?"
35661You will come in and see him?"
35661You will do me the justice to admit that I have never pretended to like your country, have I?
35661You will not at least leave England without seeing me?"
35661You will remain and bring the baggage on, I suppose?"
35661You wo n''t send me away?
35661You, I think, are not a politician, are you?"
35661and is it true that Eleanor is engaged?
35661and what worse place in the world could there be for anything of the sort than the narrow confines of a small steamer?
35661are you there?
35661he wondered; did they really imagine him capable of being dazzled or fascinated by any woman on the earth?
35661if he publishes them, we are ruined... where did he come from?...
35661or did I hear voices in the state room opposite?"
35661shall I give you proof?
35661she exclaimed;"why, what are you doing here?"
35661she said,"there is no man who would be so brutal as you unless----""Unless what?"
35661where is he?
35661where''s your other guest?"
35661why is he not here?
35661will not that content you?"
35661will you be convinced then?
32198''Under the circumstances''? 32198 ''What folly?''
32198A beauty, as you say, Major,agreed he,"but do you know that I, for my part, prefer the charms of Chocolate Maid?
32198A bit of rag, a scrap of newspaper, a fowl''s feather-- anything? 32198 A detective?
32198A martyr?
32198All ready, Mr. Narkom? 32198 Alone?"
32198And all because the man was coming from the direction of this house?
32198And how did the parties most concerned view this promising little plan? 32198 And in the meantime, the Ladder of Light had vanished?"
32198And what was that?
32198And why? 32198 And you let him do it?--you never spoke a word, but let the blackguard do it?
32198And you think that I stole it? 32198 Any idea of who may possibly have been the assailant?
32198Any marks on the clothing or body?
32198Any mirrors in the Round House?
32198Anybody in the habit of sitting out here to read or paint or anything of that sort?
32198Anything pinned to it or hanging on it?
32198Are you a fool as well as a knave that you come here and risk losing your only support by a thing like this?
32198Are you? 32198 As how?
32198As time is of importance, would not this be the shorter and the quicker way?
32198As usual?
32198At what time was that? 32198 Because I told you you might expect me?"
32198Been photographed?
32198But heavens above, how could the necklace ever have got there? 32198 But his lips-- his lips, Mr. Narkom?
32198But how was it possible for her to obtain that information?
32198But how, Mr. Cleek-- in the name of all that is wonderful, how?
32198But how-- how?
32198But may I say I think you have done right? 32198 But the other animal?
32198But to what purpose, your ladyship? 32198 But, Cleek, my dear chap, how do you account for the fact that when the doctor came to analyze that water he found no trace of the poison in it?"
32198But, good lud, man, what on earth are you talking about? 32198 Ca n''t you find somebody to put you on the lay, sir?
32198Can they not?
32198Can they say anything worse than they have said? 32198 Captain Maltravers?
32198Cleek, dear chap, is it you?
32198Cleek, eh? 32198 Cleek, my dear fellow, are you a magician?"
32198Come to any decision, old chap?
32198Constable there with you during it all, then?
32198Could no one have stolen it without your knowledge?
32198Could you think so meanly of me? 32198 Danced with her, Cleek?
32198Darsham? 32198 Dawson- Blake?"
32198Demmit, Mary, you do n''t mean to suggest that I have n''t any, do you?
32198Did he hear anybody reply?
32198Did n''t I tell you she was a very demon of ingenuity, stupid? 32198 Did she ever ask Mrs. Beachman to accompany her?"
32198Did you examine the case to see if the Ladder of Light was still there before you started?
32198Do n''t I know it, says you? 32198 Do n''t happen to have such a thing as a telescope or an opera glass, do you, Miss Valmond?"
32198Do you mean to tell me that you''ve got at the bottom of the thing? 32198 Do you think I''d have waited until now to do it if it could be done?
32198Does Sir Ralph desire to do either?
32198Does he, indeed? 32198 Eh, but window''s six foot up, Mr. Headland, sir,"put in Nippers excitedly;"and howm a thing the weight o''that goin''to fly in?"
32198English or foreign?
32198Ever see that bedridden woman or that cripple girl?
32198Filed it with his solicitors, did he?
32198Find out that, too, from Farrow''s fingers?
32198Folly? 32198 For Mr. Cleek-- do you hear?"
32198Found out anything, old chap?
32198Gawd''s truth, guv''ner, is it you at last, sir? 32198 Gone?
32198Good gracious, you do n''t suppose I sent him for the originals, do you?
32198Good lord, Marshall, have you gone off your head? 32198 Grandmother, eh?
32198Have I not kept my word and brought your excellency across in safety and with speed?
32198Have we come on a wild goose chase, do you think? 32198 Have you come to any conclusions as to the means of death, Doctor?"
32198He? 32198 Heaven above, man,"said Trent in utter bewilderment,"what''s the meaning of it all?
32198Hello, Nurse, got a sore finger, have you, eh? 32198 Her brother?"
32198Her last_ visit?_ Then the lady and her father are not English?
32198Her last_ visit?_ Then the lady and her father are not English?
32198Hieroglyphics, eh? 32198 His spoils, eh?
32198His will was made in Miss Renfrew''s favour, was it?
32198How do they fix it as being, as you say,''the exact time,''Mr. Trent? 32198 How do you fix the exact time?"
32198How long would it take him to make the journey?
32198How the dickens do you know that, my man? 32198 How the dickens does he ferret out these places, I wonder?
32198How''s that? 32198 How, then, am I to regard the people who give this cross testimony-- as lunatics or liars?"
32198How?
32198How?
32198I did not know that you had visitors, dear, otherwise----Eh, what? 32198 I may take it from your reply, may I not, that I am correct regarding Mr. Septimus Nosworth''s son?"
32198I say, Deland, what''s in the wind?
32198I see, no male servants at all, then?
32198I suppose all my old duds are still in the locker of the limousine, are n''t they? 32198 I suspected it when you left the house-- but, oh, how could you?"
32198I wonder if I dare do it?
32198I? 32198 If it were what?
32198In a straight line from here, eh? 32198 In his pajamas, eh?"
32198In the name of heaven, Mr. Cleek,spoke up young Drake, breaking silence suddenly,"what can the boy have done?
32198Indeed? 32198 Indeed?
32198Is it safe?
32198Is not the tea to Monsieur''s liking?
32198Is this it, Doctor?
32198Is this your idea of''spending the afternoon''with one, turning up when tea is over and twilight about to begin? 32198 It is better she should be at peace for a little, is it not, monsieur?"
32198It is, eh? 32198 It might give our German friends pause, do n''t you think, Mr. Narkom, if they could get an insight into the spirit of the race as a fighting unit?"
32198It would not be possible then?
32198Know where he is?
32198Know? 32198 Lemmingham House?
32198Let''s see, now, where was I?
32198Lint, Lady Leake? 32198 M''sieur, shall it be an error, then?"
32198Married man or a single one?
32198May I ask what that matter was?
32198May we not all go up, Miss Valmond?
32198Me, Mr. Jim? 32198 Mean that party we nabbed in the house at Roehampton along with the Mauravanian baron who got up that Silver Snare fake, do n''t you, sir?
32198Meaning what, old chap?
32198Messages, Mr. Cleek? 32198 Mirrors?
32198Miss Eastman? 32198 Miss Larue?
32198Miss Renfrew and old Patty Dax? 32198 Miss Valmond?
32198Mr. Cleek? 32198 Mr. Narkom, is the limousine within easy reach?"
32198Mr. Nippers has given me a brief outline of the affair-- would you mind giving me the full details, Miss Renfrew? 32198 Mr. Trent, sir, whatever is the matter?
32198Must it? 32198 My dear chap, are you going into training for a match with that Sir Ralph What''s- his- name of whom Miss Renfrew spoke?"
32198My dear chap, how on earth do you manage it?
32198My dear chap, you do n''t surely mean that you think_ he_ is really at the bottom of it?
32198My friend, have you taken to reading penny novelettes of late? 32198 New place all right, old chap?
32198No-- why?
32198Nor heard from him?
32198Not an adjoining one?
32198Not the great Septimus Nosworth?
32198Not the man who invented Lithamite?--the greatest authority on high explosives in England? 32198 Oh, does n''t he?"
32198Oh, he lives on the premises, does he? 32198 Oh, she is that kind of woman, is she?"
32198Oh, that''s it, is it?
32198Oh, that''s the trouble, is it?
32198Oh, then, it''s really a personal affair between you and him, after all?
32198Ojeebi? 32198 On the landing?
32198Plenty of petrol?
32198Publicity, Mr. Carruthers? 32198 Queer, is n''t it, that the man should not have stopped to so much as welcome the boy after you had been at such pains to tell him to be nice to him?
32198Quite confident of that?
32198Radium in the doll? 32198 Ready are you, Mr. Cleek?
32198Ringing with it? 32198 Royalty?"
32198Rush Lennard off to the post- office with that, will you? 32198 See what?
32198Seen them? 32198 Sent it to her, your ladyship?
32198Shall we not sit down? 32198 Shall you be leaving us, then, before the investigation is concluded?"
32198She_ has n''t_ any new shoes on, has she? 32198 Short, thick- set man was he?
32198Singular time to choose for such a proceeding, was n''t it, Major? 32198 Slipped in, have they?"
32198So our Tinplate Knight is that sort of a sportsman, is he, the cad? 32198 So that''s how it happened, is it?"
32198So then it would be about quarter- past eleven when he arrived at the farrier''s? 32198 So you are back in England, it seems?
32198So you shut the door and went away-- and then what?
32198So, you have read: you understand how useless it was?
32198Some one else? 32198 Soul of Misfortunes, how shall I tell?
32198Sure about that, are you?
32198Sure of that, Sir Charles?
32198Sure of that, are you-- absolutely sure?
32198Sure of that, was she?
32198Sure that she was not? 32198 Tell me first of all,"he asked,"how under heaven you came to suspect how the disappearance of the boy was managed?
32198Tell me,he said, slipping a shilling into the fellow''s hand,"do you happen to know who that gentleman is, standing on the pier there?"
32198That man, eh? 32198 That man?
32198That woman? 32198 That, of course, meant that the fellow would be arrested and have to give his address and all the rest of it?"
32198The explanation, of course, is the good, old tried- and- true refuge of the story- writers-- namely, a case of nose- bleeding, is it not?
32198The gasfitters, eh? 32198 The magpie?"
32198The pitch darkness of a public hotel_ at dinner time_? 32198 The''old armoury''?
32198Then Miss Valmond told you something with regard to Barrington- Edwards?
32198Then why do n''t you go down yourself and fetch them up, old chap? 32198 Then, dash it, sir, how in thunder are you going to explain his being there at all?"
32198There''s a beautiful example of English as she is advertised for you; and if-- Hullo, Deland, old chap, what''s the matter with you?
32198Thieves? 32198 True, my good sir; but have the goodness to ask yourself who could get into the place to administer such hypodermic?
32198Vanished from a glass- room into which people were looking at the time? 32198 Waldemar?
32198Was it from there you saw the occurrence, Miss Valmond?
32198Was n''t that in the room, then?
32198Well, Major,replied Cleek,"I hate to destroy any man''s illusions and to besmirch any man''s reputation, but--_que voulez vous_?
32198Well, if I have, Major, suppose you drive me over to the stables and give me a chance to take it out?
32198Well, of all the insane----Whatever prompted you to do a madman''s trick like that? 32198 Well, upon my word, Johnston, this is rather an original sort of performance, is n''t it?"
32198Well, what do you make of it, old chap?
32198Well, what of that? 32198 Well?"
32198Well?
32198Were you in her pay, too? 32198 What are you doing out here at this time of night, you young monkey?
32198What chap? 32198 What do you know, Miss Renfrew, of the recent movements of Mr. Harry Nosworth-- the son who was kicked out?"
32198What do you make of it?
32198What do you mean by that, Mr. Lampson? 32198 What do you mean by that, Nurse?
32198What do you mean by''got at''the trainer, Major? 32198 What is it, old chap-- eh?"
32198What is it? 32198 What is''just so''?"
32198What lark are you up to now? 32198 What of it?
32198What sort of an insane man must you have thought me, Marshall, to credit such a thing as that? 32198 What the dickens----I say, is it a policy?"
32198What were you doing knocking about that part of the house at that hour of the night? 32198 What''s that, Mr. Narkom?
32198What''s that? 32198 What, Tom Farrow?
32198When he_ what_?
32198When you called up to the glass- room through the speaking- tube, to say that the boy was about to go up, who answered you-- Loti?
32198Where he is-- wot''s become of him? 32198 Where is the ring?"
32198Where shall it be, then? 32198 Which he did n''t, of course?"
32198Which limousine is Lennard using to- day? 32198 Which, of course, the landlady can be relied upon to corroborate if there is any question regarding the matter?
32198Who did, then, Mr. Cleek? 32198 Who''s Maggie McFarland, please?"
32198Why did he do that? 32198 Why did n''t you believe the report?"
32198Why do n''t you advertise for him, then?
32198Why do n''t you, then, sir?
32198Why do you say''as usual,''my friend? 32198 Why have you done this dreadful thing?"
32198Why risky, old chap? 32198 Why should the constable suggest that?"
32198Why?
32198Why?
32198Why?
32198Wo n''t you tell him you are pleased to see him?
32198Wot do you think they are up to, sir? 32198 Yes, but before, Cleek?
32198Yes, but why bother about telephoning, old chap? 32198 Yes, is n''t it?"
32198Yes, sir?
32198Yes, yes, I know you said so, but-- will he? 32198 You are going back with us in the limousine, then?"
32198You are sure of him, then?
32198You do n''t mean to tell me that the old woman you employed as housekeeper when you lived in Clarges Street is here?
32198You do n''t surely mean to say that you can make anything important out of a table and a vase of flowers? 32198 You have taken samples of the blood, of course, to establish that fact beyond question, as one could so readily do?"
32198You know of that? 32198 You ought to have known from the first, Sir Mawson, that they do n''t make thieves of this sort of material?"
32198You surely do not mean to infer that the woman telegraphed messages from this house? 32198 You want to know from where proceed these mysterious attacks-- who and what it is that harms the child?"
32198You will?
32198You''ve found out something, then?
32198You_ do_? 32198 _ You?_ Gad, man!
32198''How does this sort of thing get you?''
32198''Oh, does he?''
32198''Think otherwise''?"
32198''Who''s there?''
32198*****"Any ideas, old chap?"
32198A criminal?
32198A manufactured mineral water, then?"
32198A new disciple, eh, Mr. Narkom?
32198A password?
32198A speck, a spot, a pin- prick-- each and all are significant, and----But is this not a slight abrasion on the temple here?"
32198Ah, what indeed?
32198All seated, gentlemen?
32198And all inside of the past six weeks, you say?
32198And all the windows closed, you say?"
32198And did he take Chocolate Maid over there on that night, after all?"
32198And even if he should n''t, what about the others?
32198And for what, I should like to know?
32198And in England?"
32198And now, please, may I have the details of the case?"
32198And other needles continuing the sensation down the arm?
32198And so that''s the Honourable Felix Carruthers, is it?
32198And so you have that great Giuseppe Loti at the head of your waxwork department, eh?
32198And that foreign josser, Count What''s- his- name, too?"
32198And that was what made you late in coming, was it?"
32198And the doors locked and all the windows but one closed and secured on the inside, so that no human body----What''s that?
32198And the lame man who came in and spoke to her-- who is he?
32198And this Lieutenant Chadwick is-- whom may I ask?"
32198And to whom?
32198And what are these chaps who are with you bearing arms for?
32198And what fool has put his money into a show like this in these days of advancement and enterprise?
32198And what is he-- what is Cleek?--that a king should enter into compact with a woman to kill him?
32198And what on earth_ would_ you do if she were to chance to get a peep at Dollops?
32198And what sort of a chap is this grandson in whose interest she is acting?
32198And who the dickens are you, anyway?
32198And who the dickens are you, anyway?
32198And why did n''t you bring your own when you came here on important business like this?"
32198And why is it going on, night after night, ever since?
32198And why should the gentleman be strolling about the Abbey stable- yard at five o''clock in the morning?"
32198And why?"
32198And yet nobody saw the manner of his going, do you say?"
32198And, having made his money in his own native country, came to that of his father to spend it?
32198And, if self- administered, what can have become of the syringe?
32198Another follower in the footsteps of the great Cleek?
32198Any clue to his whereabouts as yet?"
32198Any idea at what time he got back?"
32198Any idea of the time?"
32198Any idea what he wanted with that pail of water at that hour of the night?
32198Any idea where the persons were supposed to live?"
32198Any letters or writing of any sort in the pockets when found?
32198Any vehicle seen or heard in the vicinity of the spot just previously?"
32198Anybody in that room after Sir Mawson left you, your ladyship?"
32198Anybody of importance?"
32198Anything up?"
32198Anything wrong with you, old chap?"
32198Anything wrong?"
32198Are n''t you a bit uneasy?"
32198Are they so here?"
32198Are you sure they will not fail?"
32198Are you sure you have found it?
32198Are you_ sure?_""Absolutely.
32198Armroyd?"
32198As good with your fists as you are with a metal- headed hunting crop, Captain?"
32198At what hour did Mr. Nosworth go into his laboratory?
32198At what time in the morning was Farrow found lying unconscious upon the moor?"
32198Beachman?"
32198Beachman?"
32198Beachman?"
32198Besides, I''m a whimsical beggar at best, you know-- and who bothers to inquire why a donkey prefers thistles to hay?
32198Blame any more unreasonably than they have blamed?
32198Burglary?"
32198But Chocolate Maid?
32198But Strathmere likes''em, do n''t you, bonny boy?
32198But first, who was the victim?
32198But how could I dream of there being anything in that to regret, and he a son of mine?
32198But how long do you suppose he will keep it?
32198But how?
32198But how?
32198But tell me, please-- have you succeeded in your plans?
32198But to return to our mutton-- or, rather, our stone drum-- was it in that place, then, that the murder was committed?"
32198But what of it?"
32198But what''s that got to do with it that you suggest its bearing upon any need for haste on Waldemar''s part?"
32198But when?
32198But who-- but why-- but how?"
32198But who?
32198But, I say"--as if suddenly struck with an idea--"you do n''t think that he nipped something valuable and cut off with it, do you?
32198But, I say; any ideas, old chap-- eh?"
32198By the way, Doctor, am I privileged to go up and see the patient?
32198By the way, Major, you surely do n''t allow harness to be washed and oiled in here?"
32198By the way, Norcross, if this chap succeeds in finding the filly in time for the race, that little bet of ours stands, of course?"
32198By the way, my man, what caused you to make this sudden descent upon us?
32198By the way, that was Miss Larue who just left the room, was it not, Philippe?"
32198By the way, what have you done with the old red one?
32198By whom?"
32198CHAPTER II"Five men, eh?"
32198CHAPTER V"How did I come to suspect the girl?"
32198CHAPTER XXXIV"What''s that?"
32198Ca n''t you understand now why she left her post and flew to him?
32198Ca n''t you?
32198Call him in, will you, Mr. Drake?
32198Can their mouths, too, be shut?
32198Can they''ring''any more than they are doing already?"
32198Can you describe them?"
32198Captain MacTavish?"
32198Captain a young man or an old one?"
32198Carried one shoulder a little lower than the other, and had lost the top of a finger on the left hand?"
32198Case gone, too, Sir Mawson?"
32198Charles''connected with Miss Renfrew in any way?"
32198Chop it from a big cake?"
32198Cleek!_ What is it?
32198Cleek-- where?"
32198Cleek?"
32198Cleek?"
32198Cleek?"
32198Cleek?"
32198Cleek?"
32198Condiment?"
32198Could anything be more appalling?
32198Could you?"
32198Could, eh?
32198Cries out in the night, does he, your ladyship?
32198Danced?"
32198Dancing round in circles?
32198Deeply imprinted, are they?"
32198Did any of the dead men bear a mark like that?"
32198Did it look as if he had been biting the soil?"
32198Did n''t miss any money or anything of that sort which you''d left lying about, did you, Mr.--er-- Lotus, eh?"
32198Did n''t you hear?
32198Did n''t you see?"
32198Did n''t, eh?
32198Did she ever make use of this typewriter at any time?"
32198Did the father relent, or did he invite the pair of them to clear out and hoe their own row in future?"
32198Did the man take a bribe and''sell''you that way?"
32198Did you act on Constable Gorham''s suggestion, then?"
32198Did you hear what he has promised-- eh?"
32198Did you see that, Cleek?"
32198Did you, Mary?
32198Disappeared, eh?
32198Do n''t mind my poking about a bit, do you?"
32198Do n''t suppose that Maggie McFarland could by any possibility throw light upon the subject of that pail of water, do you, Major?"
32198Do n''t you know it''s almost one o''clock?"
32198Do n''t you know that that thing''s Government property?"
32198Do n''t you think I know a man when I run foul of him?
32198Do you forget, then, that there is no instrument, no wire, attached to the place?"
32198Do you hear?"
32198Do you know a place called the Inn of the Seven Sinners?"
32198Do you know that it''s half- past twelve and we''ve been sleeping for hours?"
32198Do you mean to claim that you saw my boy here-- last night?"
32198Do you see anything promising in that fact, Cleek?
32198Do you understand?"
32198Do you want any further incentive than that?
32198Does he offer any explanation on that score?"
32198Eh?"
32198English, is she?"
32198Ever hear anybody speak of the''Golden Boy,''old chap?"
32198Fast is she?
32198Fine old place, is n''t it?
32198For God''s sake, what do you make of such a thing as that at such a time, eh?"
32198For what purpose?"
32198For what reason has she sent for me?
32198Found out anything about_ them_?"
32198Found something else?"
32198From Paris?"
32198Funny time for a king to go visiting another nation, sir, is n''t it, when there''s a revolution threatening in his own?
32198Gad, but there_ are_ some splendid women in the world, are there not, Mr. Narkom?
32198Garden doing well, and all my traps in shipshape order, eh?"
32198Gawd''s truth, guv''ner, do you realise that you''ve been gone since yesterday afternoon and I have n''t heard a word from you in all that time?"
32198Gawd''s truth, sir, where are you going?"
32198Gentleman want question me?"
32198Give Lennard the signal, will you?
32198Go on, please-- what next?"
32198Gone off his balance, eh, at the knowledge that the game is entirely up?"
32198Good heavens, Mawson, has the man gone out of his mind?"
32198Good heavens, man, what do you mean?"
32198Good lud, man, what are you talking about?
32198Got a lead pencil and a bit of paper, anybody?
32198Got a tape measure with you?
32198Got him fast, have you?
32198Had a doctor called in?"
32198Has anything happened to her?"
32198Have you had an unpleasant experience with a magpie, then?"
32198Have you investigated this thing, Doctor?
32198Have you seen to- day''s papers?
32198Have you succeeded in finding out anything?"
32198He is not a trap--?
32198Headland?"
32198Headland?"
32198Headland?"
32198Hidden between Farrow''s fingers or wrapped around Chocolate Maid''s legs?"
32198His Japanese valet carried up the ice- water, and-- then what?"
32198His fingers thrust into his nostrils?
32198His mouth open?
32198His tongue hanging out?
32198How comes she to be_ there_?"
32198How could she have got back to the stable, then?
32198How did I find that out?
32198How did I know through that scrawl that I was really on the track, and that it was the Bareva Reef that was at the bottom of the whole game?
32198How did she give it and to whom?"
32198How did that happen?
32198How did the affair start?
32198How do you know, then, that they did n''t?"
32198How the devil am I to do it when I do n''t know where on earth to find him?
32198How the dickens can you be sure of such a thing as that?"
32198How, do you ask?
32198How, then, did you get the lint to Miss Eastman, after all?"
32198How, then, does the porter who showed the boy into the glass- room fix it, may I ask?"
32198How?
32198How?"
32198Hullo, dad?
32198I could n''t have let him see what he wanted to see if he did n''t come during business hours, could I?
32198I could n''t help being late to- day-- I''ll tell you all about that presently-- but may I offer something in atonement?
32198I put fifty- eight standard roses on that terrace just under your bedroom window, and surely there must be a bloom or two that you could gather?"
32198I said to- morrow I would answer the riddle, did I not?
32198I say, Deland-- I mean to say, Mr. Cleek-- in God''s name, who could have put the cursed thing there?"
32198I say, dad, who''s this johnnie?
32198I say-- nip out, will you, and get me a packet?
32198I wonder what you will think when you hear?"
32198I wonder why?
32198If it has pleased Count Waldemar to entertain an ugly feeling of resentment toward me, I ca n''t help that, can I now?"
32198If it were natural, why did it never manifest itself before the failure of that wretched diamond company?
32198If so, how is one to be sure that she will not again call a halt, and spoil a good''case''before it is halfway to completion?"
32198If they could n''t see the porter come up to the glass- room with the boy, how can they be sure of that?"
32198In heaven''s name, Cleek, what caused you to dip into all these unholy things?"
32198In the West Riding of it?
32198In the glass- room?"
32198In this particular locality?
32198Indented in the centre are they, and much inflamed about the edges?
32198Inherited it from his father, as he did the business, and----What''s that?
32198Inspector, where did you find the secret?
32198Is anybody hurt?
32198Is anything wrong with Miss Lorne?"
32198Is he coming himself or does he want me to go to him?
32198Is he here?"
32198Is he with her in this appeal to the Yard?"
32198Is it not chipping?
32198Is it really_ you?_""''Sure thing!''
32198Is n''t it enough for me to be a blockhead without you entering the lists along with me?"
32198Is n''t that rather extraordinary?"
32198Is n''t this a piece of it?"
32198Is she hurt?
32198Is that man a big fellow-- broad shouldered, muscular, and about forty or forty- five years of age?"
32198Is that man still in your employ?"
32198Is that true?"
32198Is there, Lord Fallowfield?
32198Is there?"
32198Is, eh?
32198It is very nice of you but-- may we not let it go at that?
32198It was a false alarm, was it not?"
32198It would be Mr. Charles Drummond, would it not?"
32198Keb, mum?
32198Keep strychnine about the place for killing rats, I suppose?"
32198Kibblewhite had the dickens and all of a time trying to get at that chap Serpice, as you may remember?"
32198Kings must have queens, must they not?
32198Know it, do n''t you?
32198Know what?"
32198Leave the house, did he?"
32198Let me have one of them for a day or so, will you?
32198Like to have a look at it?"
32198Local police picked up anything in the nature of a clue?"
32198Look here, my young man, you''re not developing''nerves''are you?
32198Look''em up for me, will you?
32198Look, sir, here''s the paper and here''s the place where I erased the word-- see?"
32198Lying?
32198M''sieur, who shall it be this great criminal you demand of me to arrest?
32198MacTavish?
32198MacTavish?"
32198Makin''a rush and settin''the pedler free when he comes up before the Beak?
32198Man alive, with a chap like that Nippers, how long do you suppose it will remain a secret that Cleek is in Yorkshire?
32198Mawson, you hear, dearest?
32198May I come in a minute, dear?
32198May I have them?"
32198Meant the imitations?
32198Merely a bit torn from an old handbill-- see?
32198Messages?"
32198Mind if I step in for a moment and have a look at her?"
32198Mind telling me what it is?"
32198Miss Larue?
32198Mr. Narkom, is it not?"
32198Mrs. Sherman fixes the hour when she noticed this as half- past four, you say?
32198Must we wait until we reach Paris, mademoiselle?
32198Narkom?"
32198Narkom?"
32198Narkom?"
32198Narkom?"
32198Narkom?"
32198Narkom?"
32198Necessary, I suppose, on account of the chemicals and the inflammable nature of the wax?
32198No?
32198None, eh?
32198Not much use in shouting''Rule Britannia''if you''re going to ship on a foreign craft, is there, sir?
32198Not that Septimus Nosworth, surely?"
32198Nothing but waste stuff and straw?
32198Now, if you please, where is your sister?"
32198Now, then, let''s see-- where was I?
32198Of English extraction, was n''t he?
32198Of course they did n''t?
32198Of the necklace?
32198Oh, Gawd bless you, guv''ner, is it really you again?"
32198Oh, Mary, is n''t it clinking, dear?
32198Oh, Mr. Cleek, who in the world put it there?
32198Once upon a time when I was in Paris----""In Paris, monsieur?"
32198One word more: what kind of an animal was it?
32198Or ca n''t you say positively?"
32198Or could n''t you tell from the marks?"
32198Or do n''t you know, exactly?"
32198Or do n''t you know?"
32198Or do n''t you stuff''em at all?"
32198Or has n''t he been spoken to about it?"
32198Or have you a lair of your own here?"
32198Or was that an error?"
32198Or-- did they?"
32198Pardon me, Lady Leake, but do you think it is possible that this affair we are on may be only a wild goose chase after all?
32198Pardon, Mr. Narkom?
32198Pardon, your ladyship?
32198Pardon?
32198Pardon?
32198Pardon?
32198Pardon?
32198Pardon?
32198Pardon?
32198Pardon?
32198Pardon?
32198Pardon?
32198Pleasant or unpleasant?"
32198Please, will you add these to your bouquet and forgive me?"
32198Put a cove on to the short cut to the''Igh Street will yer, like a blessed Christian?
32198Put it in your pocketbook against future need, will you?"
32198Radium?
32198Reward, your ladyship?
32198Sapphires, eh?
32198See his little game, Mr. Narkom?
32198See it, do you, Sir Charles?
32198See that, did you, old chap?"
32198Sent you for me, has he, eh?
32198Shall I nip over and make sure?"
32198Shall I run and fetch them for you?"
32198She has n''t an inkling of the truth, then?"
32198She''s a beauty, is n''t she?
32198Simpkins-- what?"
32198Simpkins?"
32198Sir, I did n''t tell you, did I, that it was from there the guv''ner wrote those two letters to me?"
32198Sir, do you mean to say as you do n''t know_ where_ he is, and have n''t seen him even yet?"
32198So our little business to- day is to be an out- of- town affair, eh?
32198So this old lady is one of the''face painters,''is she?"
32198So this''dearest boy''had an unpleasant interview with you the day before yesterday, did he, Sir Mawson?
32198So you do n''t know anything about him, eh?"
32198So you had those chaps in the house yesterday, did you?"
32198So, then, you really do not know if there actually was a woman or a girl at all?
32198Sold it?"
32198Somebody die and leave him a fortune?"
32198Something like a needle being run into his neck, eh?
32198Sorry to interrupt, but, tell me, please: is the man who models your show- window effigies named Loti, then?
32198Speak quickly; where may we go to talk in safety?
32198Stables would be closed and all the grooms, et cetera, off duty for the night at that hour, would they not?"
32198Stolen?
32198Stop here until morning?"
32198Suppose, for instance, he should make off with the jewels?
32198Sure she could n''t possibly have managed to get into the room and hide herself somewhere, you think?"
32198Sure they are not?"
32198Surely I can come and go in disguise as I did in the old days, Cleek?
32198Surely that was what Miss Larue meant by the demand, was it not?
32198Take charge of that, will you?
32198Take the case?
32198That little military unpleasantness happened out in Ceylon, did it not?
32198That old bone- handled pocket knife there his?
32198That will be the military officer from India, will it not?"
32198That you''ve found something that leads you to suspect where the animal is?"
32198That''s in Suffolk, is n''t it?
32198That''s rather late to be cleaning up a hall, is n''t it?"
32198That''s the man, is n''t it?"
32198That''s the man, is n''t it?"
32198That''s the''lay of the land,''is n''t it?"
32198That_ you_ do n''t know either?"
32198The Apaches?
32198The Ladder of Light?
32198The Nosworths, as well as they?
32198The baby Earl of Strathmere?
32198The daughter who died was not her only child?"
32198The filly has n''t''gone wrong''suddenly, has she?"
32198The gamekeepers from the Droger estate?
32198The gathering of rustics that heard what he heard?
32198The little chap who inherited a title and a million through the drowning of his parents in the wreck of the yacht_ Mystery_?"
32198The man is web- footed and----""The man is_ what_?"
32198The man?
32198The manner in which that clockwork johnnie stopped in his tracks and eyed us as we passed?"
32198The new blue limousine, eh?
32198The new blue one?"
32198The one in question who treated me so cavalierly last August in that business regarding the disappearance of that chap James Colliver?"
32198The parcel the girl gave Edgburn to carry out on the pretext of taking it to an orphanage?
32198The paste replicas, do you say?"
32198The question is, how and when did she get out?
32198The statement is correct, is it not?"
32198The white stuff on her beak?
32198Them Apaches, eh?
32198Then could you manage to meet me in the bar parlour of a little inn called the French Horn, out Shere way, in Surrey, about four o''clock?
32198Then her ladyship has a son, has she?
32198Then she is a neighbour of Barrington- Edwards?"
32198Then that''s the reason we never hear any more of him in Yard matters, is it?
32198Then the lady is no longer young?"
32198Then why?
32198Then you did leave it, eh?"
32198Then, after a moment:"And Mr. Barrington- Edwards lives in the neighbourhood of Hampstead Heath, does he?"
32198Then, have you?"
32198They were going out to tea; and one of them sang out to him laughingly,''Hallo, Ginger, how does that two- shilling turnip of yours make it?
32198This then is the great and amazing Cleek, is it?
32198Those of fright or of pain?"
32198Those the socks he had on?
32198Time for tea at Buckingham Palace?''
32198To begin with, how came the Ladder of Light to be in your possession at all?"
32198Trent?"
32198Trip him up in some little bit of crooked business, sir, and''did him down,''as the''Mericans say?"
32198Two are enough for fair play in any little bout and-- not going to stop and see the finish, Captain?
32198Understand?"
32198Used to attend to all my correspondence for me and----Good God, man, what are you doing?
32198Was he lying on his face when found?
32198Was she also working for the salvation of the boy?"
32198Was that report found to be correct, then?"
32198Was that what you said?"
32198Was that''Hilmann''woman ever allowed to enter this room?
32198Was the man an accountant of some sort?"
32198Was there a smear of earth upon them?
32198Well, what followed?"
32198Well, what was the result of this plain speaking on the young man''s part?
32198Were his fingers clenched in the grass?
32198Were they agreeable to the arrangement?"
32198Were you out of your head?"
32198Were you so much alarmed that Mr. Drummond did not keep the appointment?"
32198What about the boy?"
32198What are you using this machine for, then, if you''ve got one of your own?
32198What are you, man?"
32198What do you figure it to have been, monsieur?--souls of the saints,_ what_?"
32198What do you know of me that you make use of that term?"
32198What do you make of it, eh?"
32198What do you mean by thieves?
32198What do you mean to do?"
32198What do you propose to do?"
32198What do you stuff the blessed things with?
32198What do you suppose has become of the Apaches and of the pedler chap?"
32198What does Loti himself say with regard to the circumstance?
32198What does he mean by talking about thieves?"
32198What followed?
32198What folly?"
32198What friends has he outside of myself?
32198What good would following some one else do if they were after you?"
32198What had he to gain?
32198What has happened, dear friend, to change her opinion regarding the elder Mr. Trent''s guilt?"
32198What have you found out?
32198What in the world could have put such an idea into your head?"
32198What is it you want that you come in upon us like this?"
32198What kind of a man is this brother-- this Honourable Felix Carruthers-- into whose hands he entrusted the future of his little son?
32198What kind of cries?
32198What motive could a harmless little chap like this have for killing the man he served?"
32198What next?"
32198What on earth are you smiling in that queer way for?
32198What on earth are you talking about?"
32198What on earth had lint to do with the matter?"
32198What publicity are you in dread of, please?"
32198What should I suspect from the finding of that scrap of pencil?
32198What the dickens was that?"
32198What took the boy to the building, in the first place?
32198What under God''s heaven has brought a chap like you down to this sort of thing?"
32198What under the four corners of heaven could Farrow have followed, then, if the''trail''is to be eliminated entirely?"
32198What was it about?"
32198What was it?"
32198What was that?
32198What were these hieroglyphics, Mr. Narkom?
32198What were you, who were you, in the days before?"
32198What''ll I do?
32198What''s he driving at?
32198What''s he up to now, I wonder?"
32198What''s that, Doctor?
32198What''s that, your lordship, may I ask?"
32198What''s that-- a hotel or a private residence?"
32198What''s that?
32198What''s that?
32198What''s that?
32198What''s that?
32198What''s that?
32198What''s that?
32198What''s that?
32198What''s that?
32198What''s that?"
32198What''s the case and who''s the lady?"
32198What''s the case?
32198What''s the matter?
32198What''s up?
32198What''trail''was he to find, please, when you just now told me that there was n''t so much as a hoofprint to tell the tale?
32198What?
32198What?
32198What?
32198What?
32198What?"
32198When and how did his end come?"
32198When and where?"
32198When did I begin to suspect that Farrow was at the bottom of it?
32198When did he go, I wonder, and where?"
32198When did you come down?"
32198When was that?"
32198When was the animal''s loss discovered-- and how?
32198When?
32198When?
32198Where are Ducroix and his men?
32198Where did you get the ice from-- and how?
32198Where is she?
32198Where is the man?
32198Where on earth did you get your clues, man?
32198Where was she, then?
32198Where, then?"
32198Where?
32198Where?
32198Where?"
32198Which will you have, old chap-- magpie, parrakeet, pigeon, monkey, or mice?"
32198Who are they?"
32198Who are you, that you come in like this and get a respectable widow in trouble, dog?
32198Who are you?
32198Who found him?
32198Who is Captain MacTavish?
32198Who is he?"
32198Who is she?"
32198Who is she?"
32198Who is that man, then, since it''s clear he''s not Loti?"
32198Who is the client?
32198Who knows him any better than I know him-- and what do I know of him, at that?
32198Who knows?"
32198Who should know that better than you whose helping hand has made me what I am?"
32198Who''s she?
32198Why are n''t they here?"
32198Why ca n''t we drop in ourselves and tell the man when we get back to Sheffield on our way to London?"
32198Why did it wait to begin until after the Honourable Felix Carruthers had lost his money?
32198Why did n''t we think of_ him_ before?
32198Why did she hold herself in the background at such a time as this?
32198Why has he begun to fail in health?--to change from a happy, laughing, healthy child into a peevish, fretful, constantly complaining one?
32198Why in heaven''s name does n''t the man come?"
32198Why should I be?"
32198Why should a man of business want a boy to visit him during business hours?"
32198Why should it worry you at this late day?
32198Why?
32198Why?
32198Why?"
32198Why?"
32198Why?"
32198Why?"
32198Will it matter?"
32198Will the lady to whom you refer be Miss Margaret Larue, the celebrated actress?
32198Will, eh?
32198Wo n''t you let me ask you what I was going to do downstairs?
32198Wo n''t you, dad?
32198Wo n''t you?
32198Wonder if Cleek ever crossed_ him_ in something?
32198Wonder if he, too, was on the''crooked side''once, and wanted to make sure of its never being shown up?
32198Wot did you ever do to the blighter, guv''ner?
32198Would not that be a trifle unusual at such a time of the night?"
32198You ask if anything has happened with regard to that accursed necklace and if I can give you any information on the subject?
32198You can give me that woman?
32198You can recognize her?
32198You could have a rippin''old flare- up here if that stuff was to catch fire from a dropped match or anything of that sort-- eh, what?
32198You dare to think that?"
32198You do n''t think he can have gone back to his old lay-- back to the wrong''uns and his old''Vanishing Cracksman''s''tricks, do you, sir?"
32198You do n''t think, do you, that he can possibly have found out anything about the new one and has set in to follow_ this_?"
32198You have n''t, have you?"
32198You know her?
32198You may or may not have heard that a certain Frenchy dramatist wrote a play called_ Chanticler_--or maybe you never heard of it?
32198You never did anything but walk about that I could see; and now to declare----I say, MacTavish, did you hear that?
32198You remember old Marise of the''Twisted Arm''in Paris?
32198You remember that incident, surely?"
32198You see now, I hope, Mr. Narkom, why you have seen nothing of him lately?"
32198You speak as if it were he that murdered my father; but, man, why should he?
32198You want to know how?
32198You''ve got her?"
32198You, is it, you blessed young monkey?"
32198You, of course, feel every confidence in the honour and integrity of Mr. Charles Drummond?"
32198You?"
32198Young Beachman''s fiancée?"
32198Your room''s up here in the servant''s quarters, is n''t it?"
32198_ Two_ men live in that house, remember; Mr. Archer Blaine is Mr. Barrington- Edwards''heir as well as his nephew and-- who knows?"
32198_ You_ remember?
32198am I not to have even a two days''respite, you indefatigable_ machine_?"
32198and hard on the heels of that flung out a laughing,"Hullo, mater?
32198do you believe that I do n''t know what I''m talking about?"
32198do you think that this can make any difference?
32198for what, m''sieur-- for what?"
32198had n''t heard about it?
32198have n''t you?"
32198is Gorham a constable, then?"
32198it''s a ripping end to the business-- what?"
32198not that they could possibly be mad enough to give the man the originals?"
32198old chap, what good is it to me now when you''ve left the place?"
32198rather unusual course, that, to pursue, is n''t it?
32198she said in her gentle way,"whatever are you doing down here, dearest?
32198some friend of his-- somebody that''s seen him, or maybe heard from him since you have?"
32198that amazing man?"
32198that''s where the shoe pinches, is it?"
32198the great Cleek?
32198the same man, eh?"
32198then that is what you meant when you alluded to an''animal''when you pounced down upon us, was it?
32198what do n''t you know?
32198what else can they think-- what else can they give him?
32198what should I do?
32198what''s that?
32198what''s the matter with you?
32198who did?"
32198who shall the man be?"
32198will you have the goodness to let that cosy alone and to clear out when I tell you?
32198you do n''t mean to tell me you''ve got a clue?"
32198you do n''t mean_ dead_?"
32198you''ve found her, then?
40372Absolutely,she said steadily,"Why?"
40372Afraid I shall commit suicide? 40372 After what I have said you still persist?"
40372An Englishman?
40372And about five feet seven in height?
40372And after that?
40372And are you able to forget-- everything?
40372And are you the only one to suffer?
40372And is there a remedy for blackmail, then?
40372And is your business so important?
40372And this one has? 40372 And what did you find?"
40372And what made Captain Edgell assume I could help you, sir?
40372And who is the good looking lad upon whose words your daughter hangs?
40372And will you?
40372And you admit you told him of the presence here of the prince?
40372And you dare not trust me?
40372And you remember poor Piers Edgcomb the best fencer in Europe, a man with nerves of steel? 40372 And you want to find your way out?"
40372And you''ll never tell?
40372Are you afraid he will come back and rescue me?
40372Are you claiming to be friend or accomplice?
40372Are you really going?
40372Are you sure?
40372At ten o''clock tonight? 40372 Australia?"
40372Before?
40372But do n''t you see,the earl said patiently,"that I am here invited to throw down the gauntlet to the man who has in his power what can disgrace me?
40372But it did n''t,Lady Daphne said calmly,"so why worry?"
40372But the reward?
40372But what am I to do with it? 40372 But,"Pauline protested,"how dare you let it be known that it is the paper he has stolen?
40372But... ought n''t you to tell?
40372Ca n''t you get nearer London than Portsmouth?
40372Ca n''t you see I am in earnest?
40372Can you believe me when I tell you I want to help you?
40372Can you motor to this Zencsi farm without being found out?
40372Can you think I want to go?
40372Can you think of any reason why he should jump ashore just as we were starting for the Hudson River?
40372Conington Warren here?
40372Consequences?
40372Daphne,he began abruptly,"Do you believe absolutely in the_ bona fides_ of Anthony Trent?"
40372Did Captain Hardcastle look the kind of man either?
40372Did he send you here?
40372Did he tell you about Arthur?
40372Did she know I was here?
40372Do n''t you understand,she said in a low voice,"that you are my happiness?"
40372Do you know Anthony Trent?
40372Do you know Baron Adolf Castoon?
40372Do you know where the draft of the treaty is hidden?
40372Do you not understand that for you there will be no tomorrow?
40372Do you play a strong game?
40372Do you still seem a menace to him?
40372Do you suppose I can stand by and see my host robbed?
40372Do you think I tried to do that?
40372Do you think we''d say anything to anyone about it?
40372Do you want to go?
40372Does he look like the kind of man to be beaten?
40372Does it?
40372Does the name of William, Prince of Misselbach, mean anything to you?
40372For what reason do you suppose I buy a Lion car and a chauffeur if not to do what my other automobiles and chauffeurs can not do? 40372 Given away a place like that?"
40372Had any luck?
40372Had you any especial reason for telling me this?
40372Has anyone missed anything?
40372Has n''t he told you?
40372Have I no right to that?
40372Have I your word for it that this gentleman is entirely to be trusted?
40372Have n''t I told you,Smith returned impatiently,"that I read all about things of that sort?
40372Have n''t you got any romance in you, Simpkins?
40372Have you a pencil?
40372Have you another match?
40372Have you thought that I shall certainly pursue you and assuredly capture you?
40372Have you thought what difference it will make to me?
40372He entertains a great deal then?
40372He has an accomplice you think, Excellency?
40372He is funny, this new chauffeur from London is he not Pauline?
40372He was on the minute,the other laughed,"Where have you been not to know I''m the ambassador?"
40372He''s down in Cornwall with the Earl, I suppose?
40372Honestly would n''t you rather play golf? 40372 How can I be certain?"
40372How can I have any idea?
40372How do you know he is still in London?
40372How does he look?
40372How is it the door is open?
40372How is it you are here and not at your work?
40372How long?
40372How much of it do you own?
40372How?
40372I am to be murdered?
40372I bring danger on myself in giving it to you but I can rely on your silence, eh?
40372I did n''t think it in the beginning and I do n''t want to do so now, but what was one to think?
40372I have n''t said anything about going have I?
40372I suppose you are hinting that I did it?
40372I want to find out,Trent said,"could you give me a letter of introduction?"
40372I will trust you,he said,"but can you find out the place where they captured me?"
40372I wonder if you know how many William Smiths and John Smiths are lying in France and Flanders with little wooden crosses over them?
40372I''m not shooting tomorrow but if you are why do n''t you turn in? 40372 I''ve seen his side of it,"Trent said frowning a little,"but what about Lady Daphne?"
40372If I take them off will you give me your_ parole d''honneur_ to make no effort to escape?
40372If not why are you down here hounding my brother?
40372If you did not come here to speak for Count Michæl, may I ask then for what purpose?
40372Is Pauline the daughter?
40372Is he?
40372Is hinting the right word?
40372Is it also his car?
40372Is it permitted to ask how and when?
40372Is it possible,the count said slowly,"that you fail to understand your position?"
40372Is it wise?
40372Is n''t this the young man who had the presumption to outdrive me forty yards every time we stepped to a tee?
40372Is n''t your neuralgia better?
40372Is the count a politician?
40372Is the family in residence?
40372It was Arthur''s fault, was n''t it?
40372It would n''t be easy for a stranger to get in here, would it?
40372Just a guess,Trent said calmly,"Was n''t I right?
40372Me drive a Lion?
40372Me?
40372Me?
40372Much better for you I''ve no doubt,said Grenvil idly,"If one may ask it, what sort of work did you do?"
40372Murdered?
40372Must he know?
40372My dear man,Trent cried in apparent surprise,"Deny it?
40372My friend?
40372Of course he was rotting?
40372Of course you are going to make your headquarters with us?
40372Of course you''ve seen he''s simply mad about Daphne?
40372Of course,Castoon said turning to his chief,"you do not believe this sir?"
40372Of what are you not sure? 40372 One moment, sir,"said a policeman restraining him,"what''s the meaning of this?"
40372Perhaps he made certain confessions to me--"To you also?
40372Shall I drive you back?
40372She may be doing that now, but what was she doing before? 40372 Since when?"
40372So he ran away from danger?
40372So that''s why you said it did n''t matter much if I could see or not?
40372So they keep a lot of company up there?
40372So you admit,he said genially,"that this mysterious Anthony Trent needs a defender?"
40372So you did help him?
40372So you were in the big thing?
40372Tell me, did you ever hear of Anthony Trent?
40372Tell me, did you see the engineer about this?
40372Tell me, which is the real you?
40372That means you are married, eh?
40372That''s interesting,Colonel Langley commented,"Why did he go there at all?"
40372That''s what Daphne says,Arthur answered,"Is n''t she splendid?"
40372The Chancellor of the Exchequer?
40372The Duchess is rather that way inclined, is n''t she?
40372The guv''nor?
40372The horse that was stolen?
40372The lords and ladies?
40372The name Anthony Trent calls nothing to mind?
40372The other man who failed-- what did he go as?
40372Then if you do, why do n''t you resent my butting in like this? 40372 Then is n''t the chance worth taking?"
40372Then the colonel knew him?
40372Then we are to starve to death without an effort?
40372Then where are we?
40372Then where is Private Smith?
40372Then why must you go away?
40372Then you deny ever having seen me until we met by the salmon pool a few days ago?
40372Then you know all about him?
40372Then you''ll stop here all night?
40372This is a sporting way of doing things, is n''t it?
40372To walk into ambush outside?
40372Very well,Anthony Trent answered,"Why?"
40372Was Rudolph Castoon one of them?
40372Was he badly hurt?
40372Was your brother a Private William Smith, a gentleman ranker in the seventy- eighth battalion of the City of London Regiment?
40372Well,said the manager later,"what do you think of him?"
40372Well?
40372Well?
40372Well?
40372Were you?
40372What about Mr. Arthur Grenvil?
40372What about her?
40372What about me and my motor?
40372What about the roads?
40372What am I here for?
40372What are those marks on your face?
40372What are you doing here, then?
40372What are you doing in my house?
40372What did he do after he jumped?
40372What do I go down to Fiume for?
40372What do you mean by that?
40372What do you mean by that?
40372What do you mean by the castle being a prison?
40372What do you mean?
40372What else could they be?
40372What happened,she said at last,"when you came to after being blown from that dug- out?"
40372What have you done that he sent for you?
40372What is it?
40372What is my position?
40372What is strange in that?
40372What is the fate of ashes tossed to the four winds?
40372What is the other alternative?
40372What is this I hear?
40372What is this you say?
40372What is your wage?
40372What makes you say that?
40372What makes you so cheerful?
40372What matters that? 40372 What of it?"
40372What other people are there here you know?
40372What shall I do?
40372What thieves?
40372What time do you dine?
40372What was the big car on the aisle opposite us at the show?
40372What were you doing that you came to drive him?
40372What will happen then?
40372What''s he like and the devil is it all about?
40372What? 40372 What?"
40372When and where?
40372When do you go?
40372When your life hangs on it? 40372 Where am I?"
40372Where are you taking me?
40372Where can I get a horse?
40372Where did you learn to play golf like that?
40372Where is it?
40372Where is it?
40372Where is it?
40372Where is the man who knows the real me?
40372Which is?
40372Who are you?
40372Who are you?
40372Who dares call me a coward?
40372Who has dared to strike you?
40372Who is Pauline?
40372Who is Pauline?
40372Who is this man Trent?
40372Who is to judge of the importance of the information?
40372Who plays there?
40372Who told you that?
40372Who was Bingo?
40372Who was the mysterious man?
40372Who will be foreign secretary if you refuse it?
40372Who would be able to tell me?
40372Why bring me here?
40372Why did n''t the guv''nor biff him one same as he does you when he''s mad?
40372Why did you stay here so long?
40372Why did you take a certain document from my pocket and leave much money? 40372 Why do you fence with me at a time like this?"
40372Why do you go away?
40372Why do you say that?
40372Why do you stay here?
40372Why do you suddenly look so grave on this morning of all mornings in my life?
40372Why do your hands shake?
40372Why does a squadron of destroyers stay so long in Fiume?
40372Why is it unknown to me you bring my servant to play with you?
40372Why not cable it?
40372Why not?
40372Why not?
40372Why should I say that?
40372Why should there be another when I have already succeeded?
40372Why think of that now?
40372Why?
40372Why?
40372Will Pauline be among those present?
40372Will you come to the point, sir?
40372With''orses?
40372Would it be too much to ask the reason?
40372Yes,she said,"but what chance shall we have to talk there?"
40372Yes?
40372You are a detective?
40372You are certain?
40372You are not really going?
40372You are surprised to see me?
40372You are trying to make a bargain with me?
40372You believe that there are those who can read fate?
40372You do n''t mean he might hit me?
40372You do n''t want to detain me, then?
40372You give me the word of a man of noble birth?
40372You have never liked me,she returned,"Why?"
40372You have often been in danger?
40372You have seen father?
40372You imagine, then, that William Smith is penniless, is that it?
40372You mean he actually followed the editor''s advice?
40372You mean he will give up the attempt?
40372You mean you do n''t want to threaten him or hold your knowledge of what he did over us?
40372You mean,Trent said sharply,"that you will not give me his real name and address?"
40372You mean,Trent snapped,"you let them murder a man who was probably tied as I am tied now?"
40372You rate your powers so highly then?
40372You remember that my father bought a place there for Arthur?
40372You think I should have a special chauffeur then? 40372 You would put this outrage on me?"
40372You''ve no idea I suppose?
40372You,he cried,"Who are you?
40372You,said the count peremptorily,"can you drive a car like this Lion?"
40372_ Was_,Trent repeated,"What is it now?"
40372A well trained thunder storm Hentzi, eh?"
40372And if so, why had he engaged Alfred Anthony with so little investigation?
40372And if there should come a time when he were free from the ever haunting fear of arrest might there not be the fulfilment of his dearest wishes?
40372And then?"
40372Anthony Trent said,"What of it?"
40372Anything else you saw?"
40372Are all your noblemen of Croatia as cautious as he?"
40372Are you afraid?
40372As dinner is almost ready and I have several things to do will you be kind enough to put this discussion off until tomorrow morning?"
40372As you say, why rush on certain death?
40372Before it is too late and you are gone away, are you sure this thing that stands between us can not be banished or atoned or paid for in money?
40372Being a woman you are interested in mysteries that have a beautiful society girl as their heroine of course?"
40372Boiling oil?"
40372But all the time he said to himself,"why need he have been afraid of me?"
40372But what was she doing here?
40372But what was she doing in this room at one o''clock at night when the rest of the household had long been abed?
40372But why should the father who knew all and had forgiven suddenly throw this look of hate over the table at the unconscious son?
40372By the way who is prime minister now?"
40372By the way,"he said later,"Do you know the Grenvils well?"
40372Ca n''t Malta get on without you a little?
40372Ca n''t you see I want to sit here alone and think?
40372Can I get it for you?"
40372Can I help you to find it?"
40372Can not you see that you have mixed yourself in high matters and are a menace to Count Michæl?
40372Can you get into the garage?"
40372Colliver cried peevishly,"Why ca n''t a man wear a passable ring and stickpin without it attracting the attention of other people?"
40372Conway Parker gets away with it, why should n''t you?''"
40372Could you try and remember as much about him as possible?"
40372Dare you confess it?"
40372Dare you invite notice of it?"
40372Did she, he wondered, come in peace or in war?
40372Did you get in the big show by any chance?"
40372Did you hear of that?"
40372Do n''t you notice how heavy the air is?
40372Do n''t you see I only want to be sure that he wo n''t use what I told him?"
40372Do you deny it?"
40372Do you mind seeing if it is of importance?"
40372Do you need more than that, you, who cast aspersions on the courage of others?
40372Do you object to that?"
40372Do you sleep well?"
40372Do you think he has any idea you are interested in the company?"
40372Do you think you will be there to aid him when he is my prisoner again?"
40372Does your sister know her well?"
40372Exactly what did my wise Tony say?
40372Had I the right to let her marry him when there lay behind him those misspent years?
40372Had you anything at the back of your mind when you spoke about my being in a tight place or needing help?"
40372Has n''t he a brother in your country?"
40372Have you done things you''re ashamed of?
40372He explained the slang,"I mean if you wrote a letter to the manager asking that I be given certain powers would he honor it?"
40372He had been dug out of his tomb for what?
40372Hentzi snapped,"what do you know of golf?"
40372How can I chide them if, knowing their lord is in peril, they seek to remove it?"
40372How did you meet him?"
40372How many quarterings of nobility have you Mademoiselle Pauline?"
40372How much can I save from the wreck?''
40372How was Trent to know that Sutton the adjutant was financially secure enough to make the sacrifice?
40372I do not think you understand world politics, eh?"
40372I wonder if you knew him?"
40372I?
40372If Arthur Grenvil chose to command him to do so and share the proceeds what could he do?
40372In confidence, is there anything fishy about this Anthony Trent?"
40372Is it asking very much that you leave me here alone?"
40372Is it possible you are afraid?"
40372Is someone blackmailing him?"
40372Is that it?"
40372Is that it?"
40372Is that right so far?"
40372Is there anything odd in that?
40372It can not be such a great triumph to see me in this cell?"
40372It is untrue?"
40372Lunch with me at one tomorrow?"
40372May I ask your name and rank?
40372Mr. Colliver what do you say to a little smile?"
40372Mr.?"
40372My lord, am I right so far?"
40372Now, Lieutenant, do we steam back to England or shall I cable it?"
40372Now, how is it you made the mistake of supposing that I had here certain guests of high degree?"
40372Now, sir, where is it?"
40372Now, where is the paper you stole from me and say you burned?"
40372Of course you know Newport?"
40372Perhaps you left something here?
40372Promise me that?"
40372Saved your life did he?
40372She was wrong?"
40372Since your game is contemptible with whom can I play here?"
40372Supposing he said he did it because he forgot to order some special dish at the Adelphi or Midland?
40372Tell me you know the roads to Fiume, Zengg and Agram well?"
40372That I shall not keep my word?"
40372That pleases you, eh?"
40372They did not expect help of-- what was the name you mentioned?"
40372Tomorrow morning perhaps?
40372Tony, Tony, why is it one ca n''t die on the day when one is killed?"
40372Torture?
40372Trent asked,"the missus?"
40372Trent?"
40372Trent?"
40372Was that one of his adventures?
40372Was the weary chase, the long uncertainty to begin again?
40372Was this Trent person really good?"
40372Were n''t we good friends enough for that?"
40372What are you going to do about it?"
40372What causes could this fertile mind of yours suggest?"
40372What could you do that distance in?
40372What did she know?
40372What difference can it make to you now?
40372What do you suppose he weighs?"
40372What else would have nerved him to bandy words with his gaoler?
40372What else?
40372What had he to do with that?
40372What has he done?"
40372What have you done that men should fear you?
40372What more could we want?"
40372What was William Smith to this unknown beauty?
40372What would happen if he knew you had given it to me?"
40372Which was your man?
40372Why did you thank God when my enemy escaped?"
40372Why do n''t you call some men- servants and have me flung out for a damned nuisance?
40372Why does your hand tremble, Michæl?"
40372Why had not Trent been a better reader of character and recognized that in Captain Sutton he had a friend?
40372Why have you the combination to a safe written on a little piece of mauve paper and concealed in the book on your lap?"
40372Why not tell me your name?
40372Why not?
40372Why rush on certain death?"
40372Why should he be jealous of what she might have written in the letter that was now ashes?
40372Why should he think of the future when today was so sweet?
40372Why?"
40372Why?"
40372Why?"
40372Will you be out?"
40372You are interested?"
40372You can get them for me?"
40372You did n''t come to be merely polite Hentzi, what is it?
40372You have been my servant and succeeded so far where they failed?"
40372You have never been to that part of the world I imagine?"
40372You have seen in this war which is passed what good roads mean, eh?"
40372You know him of course?"
40372You know what I said in Cornwall?"
40372You said''unfortunate,''did you not?"
40372You see that steep cliff yonder?"
40372You shoot I suppose?"
40372You talk like this to me?"
40372You think because his excellency was cheerful when you last saw him he is like that always?
40372You understand that he must not be apprised in any way of this?"
40372You understand?"
40372You will admit that, wo n''t you?"
40372You will not forget?"
40372_ I am Anthony Trent._"CHAPTER THREE_ THE BEGINNING OF THE SEARCH_"You?"
40372asked the Harvard professor,"do n''t you know that truth in the mouth of an habitual liar is often a potent and confounding weapon?"
40372she asked"a little mouse under the chair?"
40372she repeated,"since when have I been a stranger?"
40603A lot? 40603 A lot?"
40603A question-- Lucilla Grice and her husband?
40603Ah, how do you do, sir?
40603Ah, how do you do, sir?
40603All this tewin''and toilin''and scrattin''after brass?
40603An''talkin''? 40603 And for why, pray?"
40603And how long''s this to go on?
40603And if I buy this bit o''land?
40603And if he is a draper''s assistant, do you think he''s always going to be one? 40603 And if he will sell?--if I get it?"
40603And the stuffs about those shafts-- material-- the building material at those cottages, and all that?
40603And what brings ye here, mi lass?
40603And what''s that?
40603And what''s that?
40603Anything come of it?
40603Are n''t they at work sinkin''t''shafts as fast as they can?
40603Are you hurt?
40603Are you wanting me?
40603Aught else?
40603Aye, and what then?
40603Aye, and what, miss, I should like to know?
40603Between you and me,he said, with a knowing look,"what might my brother''s estate be likely to come to?"
40603But how long will it take as things are, and how long after that to get matters put as straight as they were last night, and how much will it cost? 40603 But how?"
40603But it can be pumped out?
40603But what about me?
40603But what''s that to do with it when there''s things to be done? 40603 But"--he looked doubtfully at Grice, and then nodded towards the farm--"these here folks, what''s goin''to become o''them?
40603But, now, here''s a question-- is this son of his in partnership with him?
40603But-- the land?
40603But-- will it last? 40603 Ca n''t the water be pumped out?"
40603Can I have a word or two with you? 40603 Can you let me have a room and a bit of supper and breakfast?"
40603Can you spare them?
40603Coal?
40603Coal?
40603D''ye think''at ye''ve gotten a monopoly o''trade i''t''place, or i''t''district, either? 40603 Did I buy it?
40603Did n''t he say he mun ring till sunrise?
40603Did you have any trouble yourself in that way?
40603Do ye know what this here woman did? 40603 Do you know what that shop is across t''road, and who''s going to open it?"
40603Do you mean to tell me''at yon there hussy has had the impudence to start proceedin''s for breach o''promise again my son?
40603Do you say so, Jecholiah?
40603Do you think I do n''t know that?
40603Do you think she could really do such a thing?
40603Do-- do you mean that father did n''t pay it?
40603Does he ever take a glass?
40603Doin''a bit o''repairing, like?
40603First of all, would you like me to see these two, or would you rather see them yourself? 40603 For what?"
40603For why? 40603 Goin''back to t''owd lot, what?"
40603Grice? 40603 Hand o''friendship, and that sort o''thing-- what?
40603Happen I''d better go walk i''t''croft a bit while you hev your talk to him, Jeckie?
40603Happen ye know? 40603 Has aught happened?"
40603Has he come back home?
40603Has naught been heard of Ben Scholes?
40603Have you?
40603He''s going to pay?
40603Hope I see you well, sir?
40603How can I tell?
40603How could there be talk? 40603 How long have I been here?"
40603How long have I been ill? 40603 How long''s what to go on?"
40603How much did you give for them?
40603How much should we have to put in?
40603How much?
40603How much?
40603How much?
40603How much?
40603How should I know, mi lass?
40603How''s that set about?
40603How''s things getting on? 40603 I hope you''re satisfied?"
40603I hope you''re well yourself? 40603 I mean between you and Albert?"
40603I was thinkin''--can''t one think in t''dark as well as in t''light?
40603I-- I do n''t know what you mean?
40603If I could give''em half on it d''ye see, and sign a paper to pay t''other half when harvest''s been and gone-- what?
40603Is aught amiss?
40603Is aught wrong?
40603Is he in?
40603Is it?
40603Is n''t it?
40603Is n''t it?
40603Is she here, waiting anywhere, in the town, or is it just for yourself?
40603Is that all?
40603Is there a deal to be made out o''this here coal trade? 40603 It shows what there is underneath the surface?"
40603It''s as well to know how we stand, d''ye see, mi lass? 40603 It''s you''at''s backed her up?
40603Live a bit?
40603Lord save us!--he do n''t mak''a beautiful corpse, trew- ly, does he, Miss Farnish?
40603Lord, do you think anybody sent me? 40603 May I have a few minutes''conversation with you, Miss Farnish-- in private?"
40603Mean, eh?
40603Miss Farnish, I believe? 40603 More?
40603Mr. Albert Grice?
40603Mr. Palethorpe''s compliments, and would you mind stepping round to our office, miss?
40603Mrs. Watson in?
40603My father owes you some money, does n''t he?
40603No way o''gettin''out of it?
40603Not from them Binkses?
40603Nothing wrong?
40603Now, how much will they reckon to mak''a year out o''t''job when it''s fully established, like?
40603Now, look here, mi lad, I''m wanting a young feller like you to go out wi''my cart--''liverin''goods, d''ye understand? 40603 Now-- why?"
40603Perhaps you''ll give me an account of Mr. Mortimer''s doing?
40603Rising in both shafts?
40603Second,continued Jeckie,"how much money shall we want to see us through?
40603Sent-- me?
40603Smarter than your Albert''s?
40603So you''ve been at t''back o''this?
40603So you''ve done me, too?
40603So-- why go on? 40603 Summat about yon Farnish woman, and breach o''promise, and damages?
40603Supposing I told you of how you could make money in such a fashion that what you''re making now would be as nothing to it?
40603Supposing we put in twenty- five thousand each, to make a starting capital o''fifty thousand? 40603 That''s what you really want, then?"
40603The question is, mi lass,he said,"the question is-- how deep has he got?
40603The workmen and all the rest of them?
40603Then I reckon you''ll not be for Farnish''s lass weddin''yon lad o''yours?
40603Then he made a will?
40603Then we are n''t going to do any more sewing?
40603Then, there''s naught for it but payin''?
40603Then,she said at last, in a low voice that was curiously firm,"then-- I''ve nothing?"
40603There was never any talk about breaking it off, I suppose?
40603This boring that you talk about, now?
40603To be got, do you hear? 40603 Want to keep work and money amongst our own people, what?
40603Water rising?
40603Well, and what then?
40603Well, mi lass,said Grice,"and what then?"
40603Well, now?
40603Well? 40603 Well?"
40603Well?
40603Well?
40603Well?
40603Well?
40603Well?
40603Well?
40603What about him?
40603What about-- yoursens? 40603 What are they up to, then?"
40603What can we do for you, ma''am?
40603What certain thing, mi lass?
40603What d''ye want, mi lass?
40603What d''yer mean?
40603What did I give for them?
40603What did I hear you say?
40603What did I tell yer about yon machinery''at''s been setten up i''that land''at ye selled to Jecholiah Farnish? 40603 What did you aim at?"
40603What did you come here for?
40603What did you do with it?
40603What did you have to do?
40603What do I say?
40603What do you mean by a hundred pound?
40603What do you mean?
40603What do you say?
40603What do you want, then?
40603What do you want?
40603What do you want?
40603What do you want?
40603What for, now?
40603What for?
40603What good''ll that do me?
40603What have they done? 40603 What is all?"
40603What is it intended for, then?
40603What is it, now?
40603What is it-- and who is?
40603What is it? 40603 What is it?
40603What is it?
40603What is it?
40603What is there that you could do, pray?
40603What might you be doing?
40603What then, Grice?
40603What then?
40603What then?
40603What will you do?
40603What wor theer to prevent it?
40603What''ll happen?
40603What''re you aimin''at?
40603What''re you doing down town this time o''day? 40603 What''re you waiting for?"
40603What''s come o''your hair? 40603 What''s done, like?"
40603What''s gone on across there?
40603What''s her bit o''money compared to what I''ve put in? 40603 What''s in the will?"
40603What''s it about, mi lass? 40603 What''s it all about?"
40603What''s it all about?
40603What''s it all about?
40603What''s that for?
40603What''s that line of Shakespeare''s?
40603What''s the use of keeping it back?
40603What''s the use?
40603What''s this here? 40603 What''s to prevent it bein''browt to t''top, clever''un?"
40603What, t''owd man, missis?
40603What-- what could happen?
40603What?
40603What?
40603What?
40603What?
40603What?
40603What?
40603Whatever''s happened?
40603Wheer else? 40603 Where''s Jeckie, like?
40603Where''s his papers to show it? 40603 Where,"she asked suddenly, one day, as Farnish hung about the bedroom in his usual aimless, good- intentioned fashion,"where did they bury Scholes?"
40603Who is in there, ringing that bell?
40603Who made your bed but yourself?
40603Who said aught about takin''on?
40603Who sent you?
40603Who''s he goin''to we d?
40603Who''s this?--you, Farnish? 40603 Why?"
40603Will it repair t''damage they''ve done? 40603 Will they?"
40603Will you get it out?
40603Would n''t suit your ticket, that, Grice, what?
40603Would that satisfy''em?
40603Would you be for tying flesh and blood o''yours up to owt''at belonged to Farnish?
40603Would you be inclined to take the chance?
40603Ye''ll break it gentle to her, sir?
40603Yon noise?
40603You and me-- that''s what you mean, Grice?
40603You had trouble yourself that way?
40603You know what a fine business I have yonder at Savilestowe?
40603You know what our Rushie''s gone and done?--made a fool of herself?
40603You made that do? 40603 You mean to say that there''s a doubt?"
40603You the landlord?
40603You want to know what I say, Grice?
40603You''ll have heard, no doubt, of what''s been happening down our way?
40603You''re aware''at t''rent day''s none so far off? 40603 You''re not a traveller?"
40603You''ve been meditating this, mi lass?
40603You''ve got them two London chaps at Savilestowe yet, have n''t you? 40603 You''ve had a bit o''experience on''t o''late, Mr. Grice, what?"
40603You''ve sunk a lot in that pit, already?
40603You''ve to buy the land first, have n''t you?
40603), vans, carts, everything?
40603A writ!--for me?"
40603All t''same, I do n''t think you''ll put your shutters up yet, Mr. Grice, what?"
40603Am I done, or am I not done?
40603An happen she did see summat-- how can I say?"
40603An''I''m sure and certain that there''s lots o''the better sort''ll give me their trade; you would yourself, now, Mr. Stubley, would n''t you?"
40603An''what might you be thinkin''o''puttin''me to, now''at I am here, like?"
40603An''what''s yon theer bell ringin''for-- is it somebody''at''s gone to ring for t''Sicaster fire brigade, or what?"
40603An''who can ha''done it?"
40603An''you started out by saying, how long''s this going to last?
40603And I think you''ve had some ambitions that way-- what?"
40603And I want to know how I can get out o''paying it?"
40603And how can we get at him?"
40603And if he helps me to pay all off and get a fresh start I''m going to be master, d''ye see?
40603And if there was coal beneath Ben Scholes''s forty acres, why not try for the fortune which its successful getting would represent?
40603And what I want to know is-- are you coming in, now that I''ve told you?
40603And what can we have the pleasure of doing for you, ma''am?
40603And what''s the use of endeavouring to conceal things, Miss Farnish?
40603And you think it''s no use fightin''t''case?"
40603And you''re a churchwarden, eh?"
40603And-- don''t I owe you something?"
40603And-- now do n''t be frightened!--the thing is-- will it be worth it?"
40603But I''ve kept paying, and paying, and paying, on account; but what about t''balance?"
40603But if thy mother lived i''London town, what dusta think she''d hev to pay for her coal then?
40603But now, Mr. Stubley, do you know what I''m going to do with that fifteen hundred pound?"
40603But they hev to get it to London town first, hevn''t they, afore they can sell?"
40603But what do you say?"
40603But, now-- is he going to be ready this time?"
40603But-- what do ye know o''t''trade?"
40603But-- wheer can I make owt, outside o''this farm o''mine?
40603But-- who''s wanting it?"
40603But-- you''re better?"
40603But--(he dropped into his chair again and looked hard at his visitor)--since it''s as poor as it is, what might you be wantin''it for?
40603Come, now, what''s the good of pretending?
40603Could she last out?
40603D''ye think she''d ha''stucken to you?
40603Dead?"
40603Did n''t I get my own advisers when the time came?
40603Did n''t I give you t''brass for your land, cash down?
40603Did n''t I tell you that you''d be able to manage it?
40603Did they send some one up from the pit to ring?
40603Did ye ever hear t''like o''that?
40603Do n''t you see, Mr. Stubley, that one o''my best chances is to be right before his very door?
40603Do n''t you see, ma''am, what I am, from my card?--a member of the Institute of Mining Engineers?
40603Do they let lodgings here now?"
40603Do ye think''at I''d ha''selled if I''d known what I wor sellin''?
40603Do you call that honest-- to do what you are doing?"
40603Do you know what you''ve thrown away, you ungrateful thing?"
40603Do you think I was going to do that for other folks?
40603Do you understand that?"
40603Do you understand that?"
40603Do you?"
40603Eh?"
40603Farnish came upstairs every now and then, always with some question-- was she wanting aught?
40603First-- how long will it be before we get this pit into working order?"
40603Going to Grice''s, I reckon?
40603Going to----""Aye, and why not, Grice?"
40603Grice?"
40603Grice?"
40603Happen you never heard o''that?"
40603Happen, now you''ll be tempted to take a cup o''tea?
40603Have you thought it out?"
40603He''ll never be no more than a shopman at two or three pounds a week-- where does such like start houses o''their own?
40603Him?"
40603Household furniture, live stock, dead stock, growing crops-- was the whole lot worth two hundred pounds?
40603How are things?"
40603How are you fixed?"
40603How is it, Mestur Farnish?--d''ye knaw owt about how it happened like?"
40603How is it, like?"
40603How shall I stand, like, then?"
40603How will it be, mi lass?"
40603How would it be if we stepped up to t''church, like?"
40603Howiver can it ha''come about, and what mun be done?
40603I hope you found these accounts correct?"
40603I know it''s a reight smash up, is this-- what''s going to be done?
40603I only gave you the chance of coming in-- I----""Whose land is it?"
40603I reckon ye''d hev to sell a lot o''tons o''coal at that figure before ye''d get enew o''brass to pay for all''at''s bein''laid out here-- what?"
40603I suppose it''s dead certain, eh?"
40603I wonder when we shall get to know?"
40603I''ll tell you in one word if you''ll promise to keep this to yourself?"
40603I''ve read pieces i''t''papers about coal bein''as much as three and four pounds a ton i''London-- what''s ta think o''that?"
40603If you wanted it why did n''t you buy it?
40603If, I say, we were to do that, d''ye see what a lot o''money we should have between us?
40603In other words, what amount of coal is under this property and close to it?
40603Is it mine?
40603Is n''t there two or three young fellers abaht''at has brass?
40603Is that fair doin''s?
40603It''s that there interest----""What are they going to do?"
40603It''ud cost an awful lot of money, would n''t it?"
40603Made a start yet with that little business o''yours?
40603No previous favours received from your quarter, I believe, Miss Farnish?
40603No transactions between us before-- eh, ma''am?"
40603Now I wonder if that''s really what she''s after, and if there is coal?
40603Now Miss Farnish,"he went on, as Overthwaite produced a cheque- book,"You''ll want to bank this money, no doubt?
40603Now, Miss Farnish, I put it to you-- how long''s this going to last?"
40603Now, Miss Farnish, how much do you want in the way of damages?
40603Now, Mr. Farnish, sorry to come on an unpleasant business, but I dare say you''ve been expecting me any time this last ten days, eh?
40603Now, if it had been me''at had gone broke, i''stead o''Farnish, what then?
40603Now, supposing that Lucilla put her husband up to that?
40603Now, what is t''truth, mi lass?
40603Now, you''ll have an idea about where I should go, eh?
40603Now, you''re a sensible young woman; what say you?"
40603Of course you know that when your illness came you were just at the end of your capital?"
40603Our own folk, you know?"
40603Queer, worrn''t it, mi lass?"
40603See?"
40603She were after my brass, d''yer see?
40603So I walked out this morning to see if you could put me up for a week or two at the''Coach- and- Four''?
40603So now-- what do I owe?"
40603So-- I''m worth fifteen hundred pound?
40603Stubley?"
40603Stubley?"
40603Supposing all her money-- she gave no thought to Lucilla Grice''s money-- were swept away once for all by water, or swallowed up for ever in sand?
40603Then he''s nought to pay with, I reckon?"
40603Then, waiting until he saw that his announcement had gone home with due effect, he added,"So you''ll be out of a place, d''ye see?"
40603This one''s pretty badly moved to vengeance, I think, eh?"
40603What about yoursen, mi lass?"
40603What about?"
40603What are you doing there?
40603What d''yer mean?"
40603What do you mean, you fool, by coming and talking to me i''that way?
40603What do you mean?"
40603What do you say, now, Bartle?"
40603What do you suppose a jury would say to that?
40603What do you want wi''young men?"
40603What does she know about t''grocerin''business?"
40603What good is it to you?
40603What ha''ye to do with that, Bartle?
40603What is it?"
40603What is-- all?"
40603What mun I do about it?"
40603What mun I do, mi lass?"
40603What reight have you to come interferin''wi''a honest man''s trade''at he''s ta''en all these years to build up?
40603What say you?"
40603What were you thinkin''o''doin''like?"
40603What you want is to make these people pay-- what?"
40603What''s in the wind, now?"
40603What''s it mean, like?
40603What''s it mean?"
40603What''s the best and cheapest way to get this colliery o''mine started?"
40603What''s the use of wasting your life, a handsome woman like you?
40603What''s this here shop going to be?"
40603What, old Grice?
40603What?"
40603What?"
40603What?"
40603Wheer''s yer brass, now?
40603Where should we all ha''been now, I should like to know, if it had n''t been for me?"
40603Where''s that?"
40603Where''s your wife?"
40603Who shall I say?"
40603Why not come to terms, Miss Farnish?
40603Why should I?
40603Why, mi lass?"
40603Ye do n''t understand-- how should yer?
40603Ye would n''t hev your poor father walkin''t''street wi''out one penny to rub agen another, I''m sure?
40603Yet, how would you like to be absolutely wealthy?"
40603You and me-- all to ourselves?"
40603You have borrowed aught from anybody?"
40603You have n''t made it over strong for him?"
40603You know already that I''ve done what I could to look after things for you while you''ve been ill?"
40603You know the man I mean-- Benjamin Scholes?"
40603You understand, Mr. and Mrs. Grice?
40603You understand?"
40603You''ll be able to find this capital?"
40603You''ll be for a company, I suppose?"
40603You''ll ha''seen that smart London chap that''s been staying at the''Coach- and- Four''for some time now-- Mortimer, Mr. Mallerbie Mortimer?
40603You''ll see them yourself?
40603You''re not going?
40603You''ve never been back there?"
40603amounts like them?
40603he began, coming across the carpenter at the threshold of the renovated house,"What''s t''meanin''o''that thing ye''ve just fixed up?
40603or Albert?
40603what folks?"
34664A gap? 34664 A hum?"
34664A lie?
34664A watch? 34664 Accident?"
34664Afterwards, sir? 34664 Ah, Gertie, going to bed?"
34664Ah, would you?
34664All right,was the reply; and Dan Portway''s countenance seemed to have been transformed;"will you lead?"
34664Am I to dispose of those A Shares, Mr Harrington?
34664Am I to understand by these words that the executors will offer no opposition?
34664And I have n''t done all I could to keep you out of your rights?
34664And I''m sure_ you_ never drink, my dear?
34664And afterwards?
34664And be told to mind my own business-- eh? 34664 And chained up?"
34664And heir?
34664And it has never been opened since?
34664And might I ask when Mr George is coming again?
34664And the injury to your head?
34664And we are, my dear; but, Gertie Bellwood, are you two going to be a happy pair?
34664And what did he say, uncle?
34664And when shall I see Doctor Lawrence?
34664And when you were born?
34664And who says master went out of the stairkiss window,said cook with a snort,"when there''s a front door to the house as well as a back?"
34664And you are going to devote yourself to making him a good young man?
34664And you have a latent feeling that we shall not see him again?
34664And you refused him, of course?
34664And, pray, who is Mr Blank?
34664And-- may I ask-- who-- you are?
34664Another?
34664Any news?
34664Any news?
34664Anything else, my dear sir?
34664Anything else?
34664Anything the matter, my dear?
34664Are we not giving him the credit of having too much sense?
34664Are we to standstill and see her throw herself away upon this wretched man?
34664Are you Gertrude?
34664Are you coming, too?
34664Are you sure? 34664 Are you thinking what I am?"
34664Are you? 34664 As soon as he returns, sir, you and he will doubtless meet; and, as a matter of course, I presume you will lay claim to the estate?"
34664Ay, what does that matter? 34664 Been down in the cellar, I suppose?"
34664Beg pardon, Miss Gertrude, could I speak to you for a minute?
34664Bricked- up part?
34664Bring many people down here?
34664But are you sure that it will not hurt you?
34664But he had n''t been out?
34664But he will be better soon?
34664But how?
34664But not all stocked?
34664But sha n''t you tell Miss Gertrude?
34664But surely you have not fetched me back from Switzerland, sir, because my cousin has gone off somewhere on the spree?
34664But surely you will explain; give some stronger reason for dragging me here?
34664But what do you mean?
34664But what for?
34664But what proofs have you?
34664But what we are going to do?
34664But when he comes back from Paris what will he say?
34664But why should he get out of the window on the sly like that?
34664But why should he interfere with master?
34664But will he get well?
34664But you do n''t love him, my dear,said Mrs Hampton,"and is it right for you to go to the altar like that?"
34664But you do n''t recollect that?
34664But you never cared for any one else?
34664But you think this is the right man?
34664But-- but what has that to do with your theory of the man''s disappearance?
34664Ca n''t you do something, sir?
34664Ca n''t you give him some narcotic that will last till you get him back to his chambers?
34664Can I be of any use?
34664Can you help?
34664Can you hold him?
34664Can you show me a way out of the difficulty? 34664 Can you tell me anything about your childhood?"
34664Candle? 34664 Cards, billiards?
34664Clue?--what clue?
34664Come, come; what''s the matter?
34664Come,said the young man, smiling,"you acknowledge me as George Harrington, then?"
34664Consols are very low just now, Mr Harrington; would it not be advisable to wait till they go up?
34664Cut? 34664 Denton, does n''t all this seem very strange to you about-- about--""Master George, my dear?
34664Denton?
34664Did I play my part correctly?
34664Did-- did you hear that, Miss Gertrude?
34664Do n''t want to see any more I suppose?
34664Do n''t you ever feel afraid of being robbed of that watch, Mr Harrington?
34664Do what, sir?
34664Do you give in, sir?
34664Do you know what that means?
34664Do you mean poor Bruno''s howl?
34664Do you see that?
34664Do you think I''m a fool, Phineas?
34664Do you think he is ill?
34664Do you think there is anything the matter, Mrs Hampton?
34664Do you think there''s any danger?
34664Do you understand?
34664Do you want to be relieved?
34664Do you wish me to speak out?
34664Does-- does he know?
34664Dogs are a deal like human beings when they''re ill."What do you mean, Denton?
34664Down to The Mynns?
34664Eh? 34664 Eh?
34664Eh? 34664 Eh?
34664Eh? 34664 Eh?
34664Eh? 34664 Eh?
34664Eh? 34664 Eh?
34664Eh? 34664 Eh?
34664Eh? 34664 Eh?
34664Eh? 34664 Eh?
34664Eh? 34664 Eh?
34664Eh? 34664 Eh?"
34664Eleven o''clock?
34664Feel giddy, Mr Saul?
34664For little Gertrude''s sake? 34664 For me, Denton?"
34664Gentlemen, gentlemen?
34664Gertrude, my dear, why do you not speak?
34664Gertrude?
34664Glad?
34664Going out, George?
34664Going, Doctor Lawrence?
34664Going?
34664Going?
34664Good- bye?
34664Got it?
34664Great Heavens, man, what is it? 34664 Had we not better wait?"
34664Had you not better go, Gertrude?
34664Hands clean?
34664Have any more whiskey?
34664Have you not some birth- mark about you?
34664Have you the letters?
34664Here,he said quickly,"where is that prescription, Mr Saul?"
34664Here? 34664 How do we know that this is not an impostor?"
34664How do you do?
34664How do you know if you were looking in another direction?
34664How do, Denton? 34664 How does Gertrude take it?"
34664How is Mr Saul?
34664How should I know, sir? 34664 How''s that?"
34664How?
34664Humph?
34664Humph?
34664Hurt you, old fellow? 34664 Hush, hush, my darling?"
34664I declare for the moment it quite startled me?
34664I find I am supposed to be wrong, then, about the watch?
34664I mean,said Portway hastily,"how do you know what she may be like?
34664I ought not to sit here and--"Allow it, sir? 34664 I say, old lady, you remember me?"
34664I thought Doctor Lawrence was coming down with you, Mr Hampton?
34664I thought he did n''t like the place?
34664I told you I had, did n''t I? 34664 I want to be generous; what''s the use of having plenty and keeping it all locked up?"
34664I''ve done all I could to help you get them, have n''t I?
34664I? 34664 I?
34664I? 34664 I?
34664I?
34664If I can get the rifle?
34664If he came to you to doctor him after some long course of dissipation, would you refuse to prescribe, and drive him to some quack?
34664Is anything the matter, Denton?
34664Is anything the matter, Mrs Hampton?
34664Is anything the matter, ma''am?
34664Is anything the matter?
34664Is he always as savage and fierce as I saw him?
34664Is n''t that what you English people call bad taste?
34664Is that all, sir?
34664Is that all?
34664Is that dreadful dog locked up safely?
34664Is your arm bad?
34664Is-- is it an accident, Mrs Hampton?
34664Jealous? 34664 Let''s see, I think I have heard of you?"
34664Lie down, Bruno?
34664Like him?
34664Look here, Lawrence, I''ve been thinking that a glass of toddy and one of the old Partagas apiece would be good medicine, eh? 34664 Look here, sir,"said George,"what shall we do about the dog?"
34664Look here,he said,"what about that poor girl?"
34664Love him?
34664Lucky dog,he said; and then in dread lest it might be considered an impertinence:"How was he hurt?
34664Mad? 34664 Matter?
34664May I ask to whom I am speaking?
34664May I ask under what circumstances, sir?
34664May I ask you to fetch this medicine, Mr Saul?
34664May we come in?
34664Mean? 34664 Miss Gertrude, ma''am, do n''t you hear me?"
34664Miss Gertrude? 34664 Mr Harrington, are you coming down to breakfast?"
34664Mr Saul Harrington, are you going to stay to this little conference?
34664Mr Saul Harrington,said the girl, flushing, as she turned upon the visitor,"have you forgotten Doctor Lawrence''s words?"
34664Mr Saul, why have you come?
34664Mrs Denton?
34664Mrs Hampton, shall we go into the drawing- room?
34664Mrs Hampton, shall we go to the drawing- room?
34664Mrs Hampton, what are you saying?
34664Mrs Hampton?
34664Must?
34664My cousin has what?
34664My dear Hampton,said the doctor,"do n''t you think that we might sympathise a little more with our young friend?"
34664My dear Rachel, how can you know anything about DT?
34664My dear Rachel?
34664My dear, prejudiced old wife, you have one at home, so why should not he?
34664My dear?
34664My lord out, then?
34664My poor old Bruno?
34664My?
34664Nearly four months ago? 34664 Nice little lassie, is n''t she?
34664No peculiar marks about your person?
34664No truth, my dear?
34664No wine, Denton?
34664No, how could I-- upset like this? 34664 No, miss; but might I make so bold: is there any news of-- of the gentleman who said he was Mr George?"
34664Nor sent a telegram?
34664Nor written?
34664Not been handling any contagious patients?
34664Not been near you?
34664Not been up to his games, has he? 34664 Not lost, has it, Gertie?"
34664Not so much as I could have wished, Denton, but what is it?
34664Not when he loves me?
34664Now, Mr Saul Harrington, what have you got to say to that?
34664Now, Mr What''s- your- name, do you live here?
34664Now, Mrs Denton, what is it?
34664Now, are you satisfied?
34664Now, gentlemen, what''s the next piece of cross- examination which this culprit is to bear?
34664Now, sir, where can I find tools: a hammer and chisel?
34664Odd, is n''t it, George, old boy?
34664Oh, come, that wo n''t do; you are going to marry Mr George?
34664Oh, that''s it, is it? 34664 Oh?"
34664Old boy asleep, Gertie?
34664Ought we to take any steps about George?
34664Poor Bruno, then?
34664Pride? 34664 Proof?
34664Proofs? 34664 Rather darker?"
34664Repentant?
34664Safe? 34664 Satisfied, sir?
34664Saul Harrington included, eh? 34664 See that, Miss Bellwood?"
34664See you at dinner at The Mynns on Wednesday, I suppose?
34664Shall I bring up the ham, Miss Gertrude?
34664Shall I fasten the gate? 34664 Shall I go up and knock at master''s door again, Miss Gertie?"
34664Shall I go up, Gertrude, my dear?
34664Shall I take the cartridges out of the revolver, sir?
34664Shall I-- shan''t I? 34664 Shall we walk into the dining- room?"
34664Sleep? 34664 So fond of him, eh?"
34664So you waited all that time, and then found out that he had not been to bed?
34664Some one ill?
34664Something, Denton?
34664Spare who for a fortnight?
34664Spent?
34664Stay here?
34664Still asleep?
34664Stop?
34664Surely she needed no protection?
34664Telegram? 34664 Tell me-- what?"
34664That anything like it, gentlemen?
34664That dog escaped?
34664That enough?
34664That he is to marry you? 34664 That the new fashion, Rachel?"
34664That you, Gertie?
34664That''s a bricked- up cellar, then, beyond the others?
34664That''s what I did with Mr Hampton, and I do n''t look the sort of woman, do I?
34664The prescription, sir? 34664 Then he thinks you are poor?"
34664Then how did he get that cut on the head?
34664Then she will marry him?
34664Then we can do nothing till Mr George Harrington Number one comes back?
34664Then who is he?
34664Then why did he go away?
34664Then why should I not turn the tables on him, and take possession here?
34664Then will you two gentlemen agree to be my executors?
34664Then you do n''t think so, Hampton? 34664 Then you feel it is our duty to remain silent?"
34664Then you have nothing you can show?
34664Then you will not come?
34664Then, pray how was it, Mr Clever?
34664They?
34664Think she loves him?
34664To see me?
34664Tools? 34664 Try what?"
34664Wait, sir? 34664 Was that anything like him?"
34664Was this the first dawning of love?
34664Well, Bruno, old fellow; how''s the head?
34664Well, Denton,said Gertrude, smiling,"is it not natural?"
34664Well, Mrs Denton, what is it?
34664Well, had n''t I better do it all through old Hampton?
34664Well, impostor,said the old lawyer chuckling,"I suppose we must acknowledge you now?"
34664Well, it''s my money, is n''t it?
34664Well, sir, are you satisfied?
34664Well, sir, what do you propose doing?
34664Well, uncle dear,said the girl with a little laugh,"what does that matter?"
34664Well, what about her?
34664Well, what does he want? 34664 Well, what is it?"
34664Well, what is there to look at?
34664Well, what of that, my dear?
34664Well,said Harrington sternly,"what about her?"
34664Well,said the host,"why do n''t you help yourself and pass the bottle?"
34664Well,said the young man, smiling, as he held out his hand for the locket,"satisfactory?"
34664Well?
34664Well?
34664Well?
34664Well?
34664What am I to do, Denton?
34664What are you going to do, Lawrence?
34664What are you keeping back?
34664What are you thinking about, Hampton?
34664What authority have you for saying that?
34664What can he do with all this money? 34664 What can we do?"
34664What do I want with investments?
34664What do you mean, Denton?
34664What do you mean, Denton?
34664What do you mean, my dear?
34664What do you mean-- where?
34664What do you mean?
34664What do you mean?
34664What do you mean?
34664What do you mean?
34664What do you say to forging a new will, forbidding the banns-- eh?
34664What do you say to my scheme? 34664 What do you say to those?"
34664What do you think it is-- gambling?
34664What does he do as soon as he encounters Saul Harrington?
34664What does the doctor say about Mr Saul, ma''am?
34664What fancies?
34664What for, sir?
34664What for?
34664What have you observed, then?
34664What is it, my lad?
34664What is it?
34664What is the matter?
34664What of that?
34664What shall I do? 34664 What shall I tell him?"
34664What will he think of poor little insignificant me?
34664What would you advise?
34664What''s that to you? 34664 What''s that?
34664What''s that?
34664What''s the matter?
34664What''s the matter?
34664What, and do all the paying?
34664What, for a day or two?
34664What, going?
34664What? 34664 What?
34664What? 34664 What?
34664What?
34664What?
34664What?
34664What?
34664What?
34664What?
34664What?
34664When can I meet this man, sir?
34664When did he see him last?
34664When do you begin?
34664When he is goading himself on to an apoplectic fit? 34664 When the old man dies, if you are as you say, what''s to become of you?"
34664When you get back, of course, it will be pleasant to inherit the money; but what about the wife?
34664When?
34664Where is he?
34664Where''s Gertie?
34664Where''s Gertrude?
34664Where''s old Saul? 34664 Which he?"
34664Who are they?
34664Who said impostor?
34664Who''s that? 34664 Who''s this?"
34664Why did n''t I say so afore?
34664Why do you speak like that? 34664 Why do you speak like this?"
34664Why do young men get out of other windows o''nights, eh?
34664Why is he here?
34664Why not one of those long curtains?
34664Why, Bruno, Bruno? 34664 Why, Bruno, good dog, where did you get that stick?
34664Why, Bruno, old dog, what''s the matter?
34664Why, Bruno, what''s the matter?
34664Why, Phineas, what do you mean? 34664 Why, how did you come down?"
34664Why, what''s the matter with the dog?
34664Why?
34664Why?
34664Will it be rash to seize this scoundrel, and break his neck?
34664Will you be good enough, sir, to tell me whose son you are?
34664Will you let me speak out quietly and calmly?
34664With ten pounds?
34664Wo n''t bite, will he?
34664Wo n''t you come up and say good- night to Gertie and Mrs Hampton?
34664Would you have the dinner up, then?
34664Would you like me to send a message?
34664Would you, sir? 34664 Yes, Denton, what is it?
34664Yes, Denton?
34664Yes, Mrs Hampton?
34664Yes-- yes?
34664Yes; you are a woman, are n''t you?
34664Yes? 34664 Yes?"
34664Yes?
34664You are staying in town?
34664You did, John?
34664You do n''t dislike me, Gertie?
34664You do, John?
34664You do?
34664You felt all this?
34664You got my telegram?
34664You have nothing more to say to me to- night?
34664You have the scar, then, made by your enemy''s knife?
34664You have? 34664 You made no effort then to find your assailant?"
34664You mean call in police aid?
34664You mean it, George?
34664You recollect the sensations, then?
34664You remember your grandfather, of course?
34664You remember? 34664 You said you did not understand dogs, Mr Hampton?"
34664You say that is a bricked- up part of the cellar?
34664You shall see, ma''am, if you''ll come in; and then, perhaps, you''ll like a bit of lunch; and why, if there is n''t Doctor Lawrence?
34664You think it will be a terrible fate, Denton?
34664You think the same as I do then, Denton?
34664You think you can manage that, Hampton?
34664You will allow, then, that the late Mr Harrington made you an allowance?
34664You will excuse me a moment, Mrs Hampton?
34664You will open his letter, I suppose, when it comes for the old man?
34664You will stay, too, Mr Harrington?
34664You wish me to go?
34664You wished to speak to me, Mr Harrington?
34664You''ll join us in the drawing- room?
34664You, sir? 34664 You, sir?"
34664You-- you are not beginning to like him?
34664You?
34664Your fate?
34664Your rights, Mr Saul,said the lawyer slowly;"what are they?"
34664_ What do you mean? 34664 A base piece of cozening?
34664Ai n''t you bitter against me?"
34664Am I the sort of fellow to persuade a man to invest in some visionary company with dividends_ in futuro_?
34664Am I to show them to you?"
34664An impostor?"
34664And if I turn out to be a swindler?"
34664And where is Mrs Hampton?"
34664Another touch of DT?"
34664Any news, my dear?"
34664Anybody at home?"
34664Are any needed?"
34664Are you going to do this?"
34664Are you going to keep him in the house all night, my dear?"
34664Bears, by Jove?"
34664Bite, would you?
34664Biting?"
34664Bless my soul, what''s that?"
34664But I invested every penny, Gertie, and there is the interest; and now what do you say?
34664But any others?"
34664But look here, George, have you thought any more about that investment?"
34664But suppose he does not come?"
34664But surely Mr Hampton was never at all--""Wild, my dear?
34664But what''s the matter with your arm?"
34664But where''s George?"
34664But who was that downstairs?"
34664But will you not sit down, ladies?"
34664But you''ll be master, eh?
34664But-- but,"he cried, peering into the girl''s eyes from under his shaggy brows,"suppose he is ugly?"
34664But-- impostor-- my cousin-- the man I left here, accepted by you all?"
34664By the way, how long have we been out here?"
34664By the way, shall you bring some one here to settle the business?"
34664Ca n''t we go home?"
34664Can I stay here?"
34664Can I-- can I think of anything more-- the money-- the watch and chain-- the ring?
34664Can not she influence her?"
34664Can you spare him for a fortnight?"
34664Could you--?
34664Did he not tell you?"
34664Did he send in a card?"
34664Did n''t I send up my card?"
34664Did n''t I stop in the house when poor old master died?"
34664Did the dog howl much?"
34664Dinner?"
34664Do n''t you remember?
34664Do n''t you think we ought to do something?"
34664Do n''t you think, my dear, that we might begin putting flowers now in young master''s room?"
34664Do you hear, Saul?
34664Do you know how serious it is?"
34664Do you now what you ought to do if you are the clever girl I think you to be?"
34664Do you suppose I do not know that this is the effect of drink?"
34664Do you think I do?
34664Do you think I ought to go and nurse him, ma''am?"
34664Do you think he knows?"
34664Do you understand?"
34664Do you wish for that proof of my identity?"
34664Does he love me?"
34664Drink their healths?
34664Eh Miss Gertrude?
34664Eh, Denton?
34664Eh, Gertie?"
34664Eh, Gertie?"
34664Eh?"
34664Excusable under the circumstances?"
34664Excuse me, Miss Gertie, may I begin?"
34664For Heaven''s sake?"
34664For, asked if she would mind staying on in the house she looked up inquiringly, and said simply:"Why?
34664Gave me a watch, sir?
34664Gertrude, my child, had you not better retire?"
34664Good heavens, dog?"
34664Had enough of it?"
34664Had he any money?"
34664Has he been trying to court you again?"
34664Has he seemed stupid and dull?"
34664Have you brought any letters of introduction from well- known people in the States?"
34664He has no right to bully you, has he, my dear?"
34664He has not injured anyone in a mad fit, has he?"
34664He is so rough and common in his ways; but what could I have expected, after the life he has led?
34664Here, Bruno?"
34664How are things looking?"
34664How are you, old fellow?
34664How can a man be calm?"
34664How do we know that this is George Harrington?
34664How is he?"
34664How much do you require?"
34664How''s Gertrude?"
34664Hurt, Bruno?
34664I do n''t know, though; have you any portrait of the old man?
34664I know she is not our child, but is that any reason why we should shut our bowels of compassion against her?"
34664I say then, even with the great wealth he has inherited, is this man the suitable partner of your future?"
34664I say, how long are Mr and Mrs Hampton going to stay here?"
34664I say, you will not wait dinner for him, as you would breakfast?"
34664I suppose there is something in the house-- eh, my dear?"
34664I suppose you could fetch me a pair of scissors?"
34664I''m sure Gertie does not want you with all her dresses to see to-- what do you call it, Mrs Hampton-- a_ trousseau_?"
34664If George does not come-- if George dies-- eh, Saul?
34664If I stay, will you alter your mind?"
34664Is he a true man-- good enough to love?"
34664Is he chained up?"
34664Is it not very strange?"
34664Is it the smell of the wine?"
34664Is there no one to help me?
34664It means diamonds and carriages, does it, my cunning little schemer?
34664It''s plain enough, now, that I did n''t come after you on account of your prospects, is n''t it?"
34664Knife?
34664Lawrence is coming, is he not?"
34664Let me see; the late Mr Harrington gave you a watch, did he not?"
34664Like to see it, gentlemen?"
34664Look at that?"
34664Look here, Mr Lawrence, has this Mr Saul Harrington any right to insist upon my clearing up to him?"
34664Look here, sir, ca n''t you-- or ca n''t you, Miss Gertrude, cross- examine me a bit about my father and mother, and our family history?"
34664Look here, sir, this is a curious welcome; pray, who are you?"
34664May I come through?
34664May I go on?"
34664Miss Gertrude?"
34664Mr George Harrington?"
34664Mr Hampton, are there any men about?
34664Mr Hampton, why do you not explain?"
34664Mr Hampton?"
34664My dear Miss Gertrude, have we any of Mr George Harrington''s letters?"
34664My dear Mr Hampton, are you serious?"
34664My dear young friend, what do you mean?"
34664Need n''t stint, eh?
34664Next heir, eh?
34664Next time I come you will, wo n''t you?"
34664No fresh clue, I suppose?"
34664No, how should I remember a man I never saw?"
34664Not dressed for dinner?"
34664Not in your behalf?"
34664Nothing wrong, is there?"
34664Now look at me: I''m a very unpleasant- looking body, ai n''t I?
34664Now look here-- tell me, Gertie, the old man has left you all his money?"
34664Now, Mr Saul, what have you to say?"
34664Now, after knowing me all these years, do you think it likely?"
34664Now, between man and man what does this mean?"
34664Now, gentlemen, any more questions to ask?"
34664Oh, the pest?"
34664Pray, how do you know he went out that way?"
34664Proofs?
34664Rather a ghastly tale for ladies''ears, sir?"
34664Remember number six?"
34664Run over-- a kick?"
34664Saul?"
34664Shall we join the ladies now?"
34664She started almost as she spoke, for an angry voice behind exclaimed:"Well, sir, why are you looking at me like that?"
34664Some folks would; eh, sir?"
34664Something like cellars, eh?
34664Stop a moment?"
34664Strong, are you?
34664That''s the old man, I suppose?"
34664The Hamptons still here?"
34664Then John Season rose and took a basket from the floor,"But how could he get up and down from the stairkiss window?"
34664Then it''s some other young man?"
34664Then where is he?
34664Then you love some one else-- not that dreadful Saul Harrington?"
34664There, old chap, you''ll know me again, eh?"
34664Was he a man about my height?"
34664Watch?"
34664Well, Mr Hampton, you want proofs?"
34664Well, is my beloved relative on his way yet?
34664Well, sir, I have heard all you wanted to say?"
34664Well, what are you staring at, you old curmudgeon?"
34664Well, what is it?
34664Well, what''s the matter?"
34664Well?"
34664What about?"
34664What am I to say?"
34664What are you growling at?"
34664What did you say the company was?"
34664What disappointment?"
34664What do you mean?
34664What do you mean?"
34664What do you mean?"
34664What do you want?
34664What does he mean, Gertie?
34664What does it mean-- some subterfuge on your part, sir, to make me take fresh steps to prove my identity?
34664What for?
34664What have I done that you should dare to treat me so?
34664What have we here?"
34664What have you seen this morning?"
34664What is it?
34664What is it?"
34664What is it?"
34664What is?"
34664What proof have I that you are George Harrington?"
34664What shall I do?"
34664What shall it be?"
34664What should she do-- what could she say?
34664What were you saying, Saul?"
34664What would be the consequence?
34664What''s that?"
34664What''s that?"
34664What''s the good of a large fortune to a tipsy man?
34664What''s the good of being a woman if you ca n''t have your own way about the man you marry?"
34664What''s the matter now?"
34664What''s the matter with this key-- now then-- beast-- devil-- must I kill you again?
34664What''s the matter, Lawrence?"
34664What''s the matter?"
34664What?
34664What?
34664What?"
34664When do you expect him?"
34664Where is he?"
34664Where is my cousin George?
34664Where is the gentleman?"
34664Where is this man?"
34664Where''s Mr George?"
34664Where''s old Saul?"
34664Where?"
34664Who are you?"
34664Who did you think it was?
34664Who did?"
34664Who doubts it?"
34664Who has dared to insinuate that?
34664Who says that George Harrington is an impostor?"
34664Who''s that?"
34664Whom would you trust?"
34664Why do n''t you advise me to go?"
34664Why do n''t you speak?"
34664Why do n''t you take the good the gods provide you?"
34664Why does n''t he come back, instead of running off in this mysterious way?"
34664Why should I reveal my plans?"
34664Why should he?
34664Why, hang it all, sir, you have n''t found a later will, have you?"
34664Why, my dear, whom do you expect?"
34664Why, what time is it?"
34664Will she marry him?
34664Will you come?"
34664Will you have a little whiskey and a cigar?"
34664Will you lock that door, sir?"
34664Would it mean death, and to which?
34664Would you mind carrying this bottle by the neck?"
34664Would you mind holding the candle?
34664Would you mind letting me reach to that drawer?
34664Yes, Denton?
34664Yes, I had forgotten-- next- of- kin, I suppose, and you would seize everything, eh?
34664Yes, I know it; but who can be calm at a time like this?
34664Yes?
34664You come from Mr George Harrington, I presume?"
34664You do love me?"
34664You gave him a watch, I am to understand?"
34664You have n''t taken a dose of the doctor''s medicine, have you?"
34664You know everything, then?"
34664You love him, then?"
34664You will not stay here?"
34664You will shake hands with me?"
34664You will shake hands?"
34664You''d be glad to hear, miss, would n''t you?"
34664You''ll have a drop?"
34664You-- you will marry him, Gertie?"
34664` And did you cry, George?''
34664` Did it hurt much, my man?''
34664` Have you no feeling for your child?''
34664and I''ve got a terrible temper, but do you know Hampton and I have been married forty- three years, and never had an angry word?"
34664and Mrs Hampton turned to one of the glasses,"Why, bless me?"
34664and leave that man, that impostor, here?"
34664for my sake, do n''t?"
34664has that silenced you?
34664he cried at last;"where''s little lassie?
34664here?"
34664how are you?"
34664how can a man be such a brute?
34664how strong he is?"
34664is that dog going to howl like that all night?"
34664my child, what is the matter?"
34664now what next-- what next?
34664said Gertrude quietly,"or would you like a walk?"
34664said Gertrude, after a pause;"to find out whether he has gone with Saul Harrington?"
34664said the lawyer slowly;"then you recollect all about the place?"
34664said the lawyer, the corners of whose mouth dropped as he spoke--"a hundred?"
34664that master likes to do as he pleases; and upset her, poor little lass?
34664what''s that?"
34664what''s that?"
34664what''s the matter?
34664what''s the matter?
34664what''s the matter?"
34664who wants to do anything dishonourable?
34664why should we study the world?
35205''But you?'' 35205 ''So you thought you would leave me, did you?''
35205''What nonsense is this?'' 35205 ''Who the devil are you?
35205''Why should n''t I kill you now? 35205 A detective?"
35205A divorce? 35205 A mystery?
35205A-- a brain specialist? 35205 About how far from your cottage was the car?"
35205After that you remember nothing?
35205Ah, really? 35205 Ah, you think so?"
35205Am I supposed to have bought this bag?
35205Am I wrong?
35205And Guy, you will come with me, wo n''t you? 35205 And even after that appeal you never made an attempt to see Anita and find out for yourself how Arthur was treating her?"
35205And he noticed nothing unusual?
35205And her memory?
35205And how is Valdriguez?
35205And if it did, what of it? 35205 And is my wife''s youthful appearance your only reason for doubting her identity?"
35205And may I know where she is?
35205And pray what is this great discovery of yours?
35205And risk the recurrence of her illness? 35205 And she is really all right?
35205And she never complained to you of his treatment of her?
35205And that room has no exit but this?
35205And the opinion of an ignorant servant is sufficient to make you condemn his lordship without further proof?
35205And there is no way out of this room except through the bedroom?
35205And they did not pass your cottage?
35205And this is really your only reason for your extraordinary supposition?
35205And this swimming- bath? 35205 And what has become of the pair?"
35205And what was that, pray?
35205And where is your cottage?
35205And where under Heaven are you to hide it?
35205And you do not?
35205And you have reason to suppose that this communication will agitate Lady Wilmersley?
35205And you have still nothing to say to me, my lord?
35205And you noticed nothing unusual that evening?
35205And you, Mr. James? 35205 Anita?"
35205Anita?
35205Are n''t you dreadfully afraid of them?
35205Are we very poor?
35205Are you really?
35205Are you willing to sit still and see Anita Wilmersley arrested?
35205As there is nothing that you can do for her, why should you compromise her still further?
35205At about what time is Lord Wilmersley supposed to have been killed?
35205Besides, how could she have got away without a dress or hat? 35205 Both?
35205But do n''t you see that I ca n''t spend the rest of my life in hiding? 35205 But does n''t it take ages to dye hair?"
35205But how are you sure that she was persecuted? 35205 But how can any one separate us, when God has joined us together?"
35205But how can you know that the whole thing had not been carefully premeditated?
35205But how did you come to marry such a person?
35205But how will you arrange to get your mail?
35205But if I was not crazy, why can I remember so little of what took place on that dreadful night and for some time afterwards?
35205But if Prentice had no knowledge of the tragedy, why did she not return to the castle? 35205 But if she is not Priscilla Prentice, who on earth can she be?
35205But it could n''t have been a burglar,said the vicar,"for what object could a thief have for destroying a portrait?"
35205But the nurses?
35205But the windows?
35205But what about the missing jewels?
35205But what do you think they had done with Lady Wilmersley?
35205But what had happened to your hair?
35205But what have you done?
35205But what possible motive could they have had for murdering my cousin?
35205But what would anybody be doing there in the night, I should like to know? 35205 But who told you?"
35205But why should a doctor''s visit upset her ladyship?
35205But why should she not? 35205 But why?
35205But why?
35205But wo n''t she confide what she believes to be her real name to Miss Trevor?
35205But you, what do you think?
35205But, how could you have allowed a girl whose mind was affected to marry?
35205But, my lord, you did n''t expect that they would bring her to the hotel, did you? 35205 By the way, what have you done with the jewels?
35205By the way,he added, turning away as if in search of a match and trying to speak as carelessly as possible,"How is Anita?"
35205Ca n''t you trust me?
35205Can I speak to the doctor?
35205Can you spare me a few minutes, my lord?
35205Clue? 35205 Confessed what?"
35205Could she-- would it be possible to mistake her for a lady?
35205Could they have done so without your hearing them?
35205Crichton?
35205Cut what off?
35205Destroying what portrait?
35205Did I really? 35205 Did her ladyship have a nurse?"
35205Did she ever give you any reason for wishing to do so?
35205Did she ever go to France?
35205Did she ever learn French?
35205Did she ever suggest that she would like to help her ladyship to escape?
35205Did she seem much interested in her ladyship?
35205Did she tell you so?
35205Did you find any further evidence against this hotel- keeper? 35205 Did you hear any one pass through your garden?"
35205Did you hear anything else?
35205Did you return to Spain?
35205Did your husband hear it also?
35205Disappeared? 35205 Do n''t I look a fright?"
35205Do n''t you like my hands?
35205Do n''t you think, sir, you ought to send for a doctor? 35205 Do n''t you?"
35205Do you believe her ladyship killed your master-- Yes or No?
35205Do you know whether his lordship had any enemies?
35205Do you mean to say that Wilmersley kept her in confinement without orders from a physician?
35205Do you mean to say that she prophesied that her ladyship would kill his lordship?
35205Do you mind telling me what basis you have for such a monstrous suspicion?
35205Do you really expect me to believe that? 35205 Do you really think I ill- treat my wife?"
35205Do you remember that you put a drug in Arthur''s coffee?
35205Do you suspect any one else?
35205Do you think I am trying to bribe you to do something dishonourable? 35205 Do you think he has any thought of her?"
35205Does every one know of Susan''s suspicions?
35205Done? 35205 Early?"
35205Even me?
35205Farther down-- why?
35205From the appearance of the room, therefore, you should judge that she intended to return?
35205Guilty of what, my lord? 35205 Had she ever before visited Newhaven to your knowledge?"
35205Had she ever made an attempt to escape?
35205Had you seen him after you left Geralton?
35205Has Lady Upton, her ladyship''s grandmother, been heard from?
35205Has it never occurred to you that she may be wondering why Wilmersley has never written to her, nor been to see her?
35205Has nothing been heard of these doctors?
35205Has the inquest been held?
35205Have I any children?
35205Have I offended you?
35205Have me arrested-- have me hung-- what do I care? 35205 Have you a thick veil?"
35205Have you any other plan to suggest?
35205Have you been able to trace them farther?
35205Have you enough self- control to remain perfectly calm and to back up any story I tell?
35205Have you missed a bag, my lord?
35205Have you questioned Mrs. Eversley about her?
35205He told me it was here-- and yet how can I be sure of it? 35205 Her Ladyship?
35205Her Ladyship? 35205 Hidden her?"
35205His wife? 35205 How am I supposed to have got hold of this bag?
35205How can I tell? 35205 How can you be sure of that?"
35205How did you do it? 35205 How did you find that out?"
35205How did you happen to enter the present Lady Wilmersley''s service?
35205How did you pass the evening of the murder?
35205How do you know that he has not some important news?
35205How goes it? 35205 How is Lord Wilmersley?"
35205How long have we been married?
35205How soon will I be able to talk freely to her?
35205How, then, can you doubt her? 35205 I do n''t doubt your goodwill, my dear Guy, but what about her feelings?"
35205I gather from your manner that you do n''t exactly dislike him, do you?
35205I had n''t heard he was ill. What did he die of?
35205I have been wondering how it was that you met her Ladyship in Newhaven, if you had no previous intention of taking that route?
35205I hope you can give me good news of the patient?
35205I say, doctor, how long do you think my wife will have to remain here?
35205I should like to know what you expect to gain by trying to force me to take you back? 35205 I suppose somebody saw you after you left Lady Wilmersley''s room who can support your statement?"
35205I suppose that by this time every one knows the girl is missing?
35205I suppose that you have some fact to support your extraordinary assertion?
35205I suppose you think me cold and unfeeling? 35205 I suppose you will not believe me if I tell you that I have no personal animosity toward you, Lord Wilmersley?"
35205I thought Judson had left the castle?
35205I trust her Ladyship has quite recovered?
35205I understand that,said Cyril;"and this clue that you are following-- what is it?"
35205I wanted to see her; well then, why do n''t I open the door? 35205 I will gladly do so, but what reason have you for supposing that there is such a paper?"
35205I-- how?
35205I? 35205 I?"
35205If I could tell you, do n''t you suppose I would?
35205If her ladyship is not insane, why do you think his lordship kept her a prisoner here?
35205If her life is wrecked, whose fault is it? 35205 If that is so, how do you connect me with it?
35205If you do n''t believe her ladyship guilty, is there any one else you do suspect?
35205If your Ladyship had not ulterior purpose in going to Newhaven, why did you disguise yourself as a boy and live there under an assumed name? 35205 Imagination giving out, or conscience awakening-- which is it?"
35205Impossible? 35205 In Newhaven?"
35205In order to shield a poor innocent child, you demand that I sacrifice my freedom, my future, even my honour? 35205 In that case what part does he play in the affair?"
35205In that case, how do you account for her injuries? 35205 In what capacity?"
35205Indeed, my lord, and what are they?
35205Is Mrs. Eversley still here? 35205 Is anything the matter?"
35205Is it possible that you really do not know who the lady is that you rescued that day from the police?
35205Is n''t this Lord Wilmersley?
35205Is there a path connecting Long Lane with the highroad?
35205It was n''t a carriage and it stayed? 35205 Lady Wilmersley has not been found?"
35205Look at me, Cyril; even now am I like other women?
35205Look at my wife, does she look like a criminal, I ask you?
35205Looking for Anita, are you?
35205Lord Wilmersley-- for I suppose you are Lord Wilmersley?
35205Lord Wilmersley? 35205 May I ask how you expected to be received?
35205Mr. Twombley, when you said just now that no one knew her, did you mean that literally?
35205My God, what is the matter?
35205My lord, am I not right in supposing that I am unknown to you? 35205 My name?"
35205No better?
35205No secret door?
35205No, what else should I have to say?
35205No, why?
35205Nobody of my own-- nobody?
35205Nor how long she stayed there?
35205Now how soon can you get a corpse, do you think?
35205Now will you examine the library?
35205Now, how on earth can you know that?
35205Now,said Cyril, as he flung himself into a low chair before the library fire,"what have you to tell me?"
35205Oh, are you glad?
35205Oh, did n''t you know that her ladyship''s portrait was found cut into shreds?
35205Oh, did you?
35205Oh, do I?
35205Oh, do you like black hair?
35205Oh, had you not seen them? 35205 Oh, have you?
35205Oh, she is pretty, is she?
35205Oh, tell me quickly what-- what makes you think that I may not have done so?
35205Oh, you are, are you?
35205On business? 35205 On the night of the murder you did not assist her ladyship to undress, so I understand?"
35205On the night of the murder you say they returned to the hotel at about midnight?
35205Possibly, and yet---"Yet what?
35205Really what?
35205Really? 35205 Really?
35205Really? 35205 Really?
35205Really?
35205Rum place, what?
35205Sew? 35205 Sewn?"
35205Shall I read you the particulars?
35205She thinks she saw a ghost in the library?
35205So he actually married you?
35205So jealousy was the motive generally ascribed to my cousin''s treatment of his wife?
35205So that you can think of no one likely to have resorted to such a terrible revenge?
35205So the bag was found up the chimney? 35205 So there is doubtless a path connecting your cottage with the castle grounds?"
35205So you believe that she murdered his lordship?
35205So you confess that it was you who murdered his Lordship? 35205 So you liked Miss Prentice?"
35205So you say, sir, but you ca n''t prove it, can you, now? 35205 So you took the trouble to find that out?"
35205So you will persist in trying to bluff it out? 35205 So you''re the little shaver I knew as a boy?
35205So you, who call yourself a Christian, actually consented to help that wretch to persecute his unfortunate young wife?
35205Speak up, ca n''t you?
35205Surely you would not be such a fiend as to wreck the life of an innocent young girl?
35205The carriage stayed; where?
35205The door leading into the hall was found locked?
35205Their disappearance certainly provides a motive for the crime?
35205Then I could afford to have some pretty clothes?
35205Then he is a greater blackguard than I took him to be----"But did you not know that he kept her practically a prisoner here?
35205Then how did the house- man enter?
35205Then she did not know the late Lord Wilmersley?
35205Then why did you arm yourself with a pistol?
35205Then why has he given no sign of life all these months?
35205There are no children as yet?
35205There was what?
35205They are here?
35205They were alone?
35205This Stuart- Smith, whoever he may be, who is wiring you to come to''er, thinks she''s your wife, does n''t he? 35205 Was it my fault that I was born with beauty that demanded its due?
35205Was the car going to or coming from Newhaven?
35205Was their behaviour in any way noticeable?
35205Was there any reason for this?
35205Was your head hurt-- my dear?
35205Well, Lord Wilmersley, what brings you here?
35205Well, Lord Wilmersley?
35205Well, Mrs. Willis, I hear you have something to tell me?
35205Well, and what impression did she make on you?
35205Well, then, why not trust your instinct in the matter? 35205 Well, who are they?
35205Well, why not? 35205 What are you doing here?"
35205What are you hesitating for? 35205 What are you looking at?"
35205What are you pulling such a long face for?
35205What are you wearing that bandage for?
35205What condition?
35205What did the elder Durand look like?
35205What did they say?
35205What did you say to her?
35205What difference does that make?
35205What do you call a sensible suggestion?
35205What do you intend to do?
35205What do you mean, my man? 35205 What do you mean?
35205What do you mean?
35205What do you mean?
35205What do you think Mrs. Crichton had better be called?
35205What do you want to know?
35205What doctor are you speaking of?
35205What does she look like?
35205What has happened?
35205What have you done?
35205What is her description, by the way?
35205What is it?
35205What is the matter now?
35205What is the matter with them?
35205What is the matter? 35205 What is the matter?"
35205What is the matter?
35205What is the trouble?
35205What is the use of asking my permission? 35205 What is the woman you are looking for accused of?"
35205What is this plan?
35205What makes you hesitate?
35205What makes you think I have anything to confide?
35205What makes you think that?
35205What more proof do you want? 35205 What on earth is the matter with you?"
35205What on earth is the matter?
35205What possible excuse have you for doing so, now that she is to leave the doctor''s care?
35205What references did the girl give?
35205What shall I do?
35205What shall she be called?
35205What sort of a cry? 35205 What sort of a person is Mustapha?"
35205What time was it when you heard the car? 35205 What was there to break it?
35205What''s the matter with you? 35205 What-- what was the colour of Lady Wilmersley''s hair?"
35205When did you leave here, and why?
35205Where are you going now?
35205Where did they go to?
35205Where does that door lead to?
35205Where does that other door lead to?
35205Where is the detective now?
35205Where was this asylum?
35205Who did you get her from?
35205Who is the director of this institution?
35205Who is this lady?
35205Who says so?
35205Who sent for him? 35205 Who told you that she was ill?"
35205Who was her ladyship''s physician?
35205Who was the last person known to have seen Lord Wilmersley alive?
35205Who?
35205Who?
35205Why did n''t you see the inspector?
35205Why did n''t you show her up at once?
35205Why did n''t you tell me that she was here?
35205Why did you think his lordship''s days were numbered?
35205Why do n''t you speak to me? 35205 Why do you ask?"
35205Why does the colour of her ladyship''s hair interest you, my lord?
35205Why had she gone to Newhaven?
35205Why had your father been so sure that Lord Wilmersley would never marry? 35205 Why not get one and take him down with you?"
35205Why not?
35205Why should a murderer have troubled to remove one body and not the other? 35205 Why should it agitate her to be told that you are not her husband?
35205Why should you beg my pardon?
35205Why should you know that I am a soldier?
35205Why take it for granted that you did?
35205Why tell her?
35205Why then did he send for the doctors to commit her to an institution?
35205Why, is he deformed in any way?
35205Why, my lord, what is the use of pretending that you had anything to do with the murder? 35205 Why, then, did you prophesy that she would kill your master?"
35205Why?
35205Why?
35205Why?
35205Will you then be kind enough to explain how your wife happens to be in the condition she is?
35205Wo n''t you tell me what has come between us?
35205Worthy of me?
35205Would you mind, my lord,he continued after a brief pause,"if, now that we are on the subject, I asked you a few questions?
35205Yes, but where? 35205 Yes, do n''t you?
35205Yes, my lord?
35205Yes, you see you have n''t got a wife, have you?
35205Yesterday?
35205You are an unworthy husband? 35205 You are sure it wo n''t hurt her?"
35205You call it good news that you have n''t got rid of that young woman yet?
35205You consider that he was very devoted to her?
35205You cut off your hair? 35205 You did not know----?"
35205You have found the car in which her ladyship made her escape?
35205You have n''t been living together lately, have you?
35205You knew, however, that Arthur owned one?
35205You know she was the Chalmerses''governess?
35205You lived here in the time of the late Lady Wilmersley, did you not?
35205You mean that the present Lady Wilmersley-- not the Dowager--?
35205You never, however, inquired by what authority he kept his wife shut up?
35205You say that the physician under whose care your wife has been is called Monet?
35205You think she left before?
35205You think so?
35205You think that there is that possibility?
35205You think they came to see her ladyship?
35205You think, therefore, that she would not be able to tell me how she spent her time in Newhaven?
35205You told me, did you not, that she had cut off her hair because it had turned white?
35205You trust me, do n''t you?
35205You will not leave me alone again?
35205You wish me to continue?
35205You wish to speak to me?
35205You wo n''t have some breakfast?
35205You''ll come to- morrow, wo n''t you?
35205You? 35205 Your father died in Paris, did n''t he?"
35205Your husband is one of the gardeners here, is n''t he?
35205Your son? 35205 Your wife is in town, is n''t she, and ill?"
35205A later will, perhaps?
35205After all, he reasoned, was it not more than likely that she was delivering this melodramatic tirade for his benefit?
35205Ah, that is it, is it?"
35205Ah, you did n''t know that, did you?''
35205Am I not right?"
35205An enemy is an enemy, but his master''s enemies were not near.--How could he be so sure of that?
35205And if she is not my wife, whom do you suspect her of being?"
35205And it stopped?
35205And now that you have seen your husband, do you find that you remember him at all?"
35205And so, if you have quite finished expatiating on my shortcomings, would you kindly tell me to what I owe the honour of your visit?"
35205And what was the meaning of those two violets drooping so sentimentally in his buttonhole?
35205And where had she hidden her mistress?
35205And who is this Frenchman who posed as your brother?"
35205And why had his name caused her such alarm?
35205And why should they have given this bag to me, of all people?
35205And yet that''s what they''re all saying----""Is anything missing from her room?"
35205Any one can see that you are a gentleman-- a soldier, I dare say?"
35205Are you drunk?
35205Are you not of his blood?
35205As all men have, so had he.--But he had no special enemy?
35205At first, perhaps, but not lately.--If his lordship''s enemies had found him, would they have been likely to kill him?
35205Because it happens to have been found here, do you accuse me of having robbed my cousin?"
35205Besides you do n''t look unworthy-- are you sure you are?"
35205Besides, had she not taken him for better or worse?
35205But I never meant to-- you will believe that, wo n''t you?
35205But does n''t the choice of a Turk and a Spaniard as attendants on Lady Wilmersley seem to you open to criticism?"
35205But first, my lord, will you swear not to betray my secret to any living being?"
35205But having made such a sacrifice, why are you determined to render it useless?
35205But how and where was he to find this indispensable accomplice?
35205But how could they have had anything to do with the tragedy?"
35205But how did you hear of her illness?
35205But how on earth was he to procure such a corpse and, having procured it, where was he to hide it?
35205But how on earth, he asked himself, was he going to get through the intervening time?
35205But how was it to be done?
35205But how would an innocent man behave?
35205But if the whole police department----?"
35205But tell me, Judson, how can you hope to reconcile two such absolutely contradictory facts?"
35205But then, had she not herself told him that she did not live there?
35205But unless he immediately and voluntarily confessed the truth, who would believe him if it ever came to light?
35205But was she a maniac?
35205But what answer am I to send to this telegram?
35205But what should he say to him?
35205But what trustworthy woman could you get to undertake such a task?
35205But who could have done such a thing?"
35205But who has disappeared?"
35205But who?"
35205But why this haste?
35205But why waste our time in idle conjectures when it is so easy to find out the truth?
35205But why?
35205But why?"
35205But, granting for the sake of argument that I have something to conceal, what right have you to try to force my confidence?
35205But, why do you ask?"
35205By the way, how has she taken the news of Lord Wilmersley''s murder?"
35205By the way, what could have become of Judson?
35205By the way, where is my box?
35205CAMPBELL RESIGNS Who?
35205CHAPTER IV ON THE SCENE OF THE TRAGEDY"When, how, who did it?"
35205CHAPTER XIV WHAT IS THE TRUTH?
35205Ca n''t you explain yourself more clearly, Mrs. Willis?
35205Ca n''t you feel that I am speaking the truth?"
35205Ca n''t you see that I should never have remained a governess until I was twenty- five, if I had not had ideals?
35205Cyril was so startled that he could only repeat idiotically:"My wife?"
35205Dared to disbelieve his positive assertion that he knew nothing whatsoever about the murder?
35205Did it contain anything you thought I might want to get rid of?"
35205Did n''t I marry you to save you from disgrace and penury?
35205Did n''t you see it?"
35205Did she realise what she had said?
35205Do I look like a wife- beater?"
35205Do n''t you agree with me?"
35205Do n''t you know a lady when you see one?"
35205Do n''t you realise that I hold all the cards and that I am quite clever enough to use them to the best advantage?
35205Do n''t you realise that even if I took no steps in the matter, sooner or later the truth is bound to be discovered?
35205Do n''t you see that she is not accountable for what she is saying?"
35205Do n''t you see that you are torturing me?"
35205Do n''t you see that your only hope lies in being able to persuade me that you are an honest woman?"
35205Do you fancy that her feelings are concerned?
35205Do you imagine that she will be inconsolable at your absence?"
35205Do you know any member of my family by any chance?
35205Do you know how it got there?
35205Do you know this lady?"
35205Do you think I am mad, or are you?"
35205Do you think, however, that any one else will do so?"
35205Do you understand?"
35205Does n''t that strike you as very suspicious?"
35205Drink?
35205For it has been proved, has it not, that Arthur and I were absolutely alone?"
35205For the impression she made on you was a very favourable one, was it not?
35205From his, Mustapha''s friends.--Did his lordship fear his enemies would follow him to England?
35205From whom?
35205Had Priscilla been arrested?
35205Had he not guessed that those marks could only have been made by her small, bony fingers?
35205Had he not realised it during the last few days as he had never done before?
35205Had he said the right thing?
35205Had she fooled them all, even the doctor?
35205Had the moment come when he must proclaim the truth?
35205Has Launcelot at last found his Guinevere?
35205Have n''t I done everything I could to keep you straight?"
35205Have you already solved the mystery?"
35205Have you any idea when she is likely to recover consciousness?"
35205Have you found her Ladyship or have you not?"
35205Have you got into a scrape?
35205Have you no sense of justice, no pity?"
35205He deprived her of her liberty, but what of that?
35205He did not know.--Did Mustapha know of any enemy of his lordship who was likely to have sought such a revenge?
35205He had discovered that it was missing.--How could a pistol lie concealed_ on_ a desk?
35205He married Miss Mannering, Lady Upton''s granddaughter, did n''t he?"
35205He must-- was that-- could that be Campbell sauntering so leisurely toward him?
35205He was sure she was lying, but what could be her object in doing so?
35205He would have had word.--How?
35205His lordship was very patient with her tears.--Did he know how she could have obtained a pistol?
35205His master was always afraid of being spied upon.--Why?
35205His master''s enemies were not in England.--Then his lordship had enemies?
35205Hope you approve?
35205How can I tell?
35205How could I guess that the man who married us was not a priest but a mountebank, whom he had hired to act the part?"
35205How could a girl brought up in a small inland village, which she had left only six months before, have learnt French?
35205How could a young, innocent girl have suspected that the man she loved was capable of such cold- blooded deception?
35205How could he trust his judgment in a matter where his inclinations were so deeply involved?
35205How could you have kept me in such suspense?
35205How dare you come here?"
35205How do you account for that?"
35205How do you account for this discrepancy in their ages?"
35205How do you explain that?"
35205How do you fancy she would enjoy figuring as corespondent in a divorce suit?"
35205How do you like my hair?"
35205How long has this girl been at the castle?"
35205How much did the fellow guess?
35205How would he receive the explanation?
35205How would he view the situation?
35205How?
35205I did n''t know what to do, whom to turn to; for if I could not trust you, whom could I trust?
35205I hope you do n''t mind?"
35205I hope you have not been anxious?"
35205I knew she ought not to stay here, but I could n''t turn''er out, could I?"
35205I never thought of her again till breakfast this morning when Mr. Douglas says to me:''Why, wherever is Miss Prentice?''
35205I should really like to know what could have led you to suspect me?"
35205I think the detective----""What detective?"
35205I was just passing through the''all as she came in and so----""Here?"
35205If I had been guilty of the condition she is in, is it likely that I should have brought her to a man of your reputation and character?
35205If I had said to you,''I must look through his Lordship''s papers; I must be free to search everywhere,''would you have given me permission to do so?
35205If Prentice did not help her Ladyship to escape, who did?"
35205If the girl herself had forgotten her identity, how could he hope to find out the truth?
35205If you do, then I ask you, what is it, who is it, that stands between us?"
35205If, however, by some miracle the truth did not leak out, what then?
35205In a few minutes, however, they would be in London and then what should he do with her?
35205In the first place, are my parents living?
35205Is it possible that even you never saw her?"
35205Is it possible that you imagine that I am going to take you back?"
35205Is it the title that you covet, or do you long to shine in society?
35205Is my coldness a match to yours?
35205Is that it?"
35205Is there anything remarkable about it?
35205It was a nice question to determine whether her need of him was sufficient to justify him in risking a visit?
35205It was n''t, it could n''t be possible, thought Cyril; and yet----"Did she see much of her ladyship?"
35205Judson?"
35205Let me give you a cup of tea, or would you prefer some whiskey and soda?"
35205Man, do you take me for a fool?"
35205May I ring the bell?"
35205Mustapha had found it one day quite accidentally.--Did he tell his lordship of his discovery?
35205No one.--Did he believe his mistress had done it?
35205No, he had never believed her to be dangerous.--Had she seemed happy?
35205No, she cried often.--Did his lordship ever ill- treat her?
35205Not a will, surely?
35205Now as to the uniform; have you one to spare?"
35205Now let me see: Where is she least likely to attract attention?
35205Now what explanation will you give Miss Trevor for not living with your wife?"
35205Oh, by the way, what is the number of her room?"
35205Oh, what shall I do?
35205Oh, why had he ever placed her in such an impossible position?
35205On leaving here----""Oh, are n''t you going with me?"
35205One in which she hoped that her master had remembered her, as he had probably promised her that he would?
35205One thing, however, I must and will know-- who is this woman and what are her pretensions?"
35205Or were your motives in this case not quite so impersonal as I fancied?
35205Pity?
35205Pretty difficult to interfere, what?
35205Probably they had a struggle, her hand fell on the pistol, and the deed was done----""But what about the ruined picture?"
35205Provocation?
35205Rather a joke, what?"
35205See you again?
35205She had not.--Did she know how to ride one?
35205She has never had much of a chance, has she?"
35205She is equally reticent as to her past life and when I told her that her silence seemed to me very suspicious, she demanded-- suspicious of what?
35205She might have gone there on an errand of charity or-- After all, what business was it of his?
35205She seemed to you unusually innocent as well as absolutely frank, did n''t she?"
35205Should he or should he not risk a visit to Anita?
35205So I says,''Whatever can''ave happened to her?''"
35205So he hastily continued:"How can you undeceive her on one point without explaining the whole situation to her?"
35205Subject myself anew to your indifference-- your contempt?
35205Suddenly an alarming possibility occurred to him,--what if the police had traced the jewels to Campbell?
35205THE END_ A Selection from the Catalogue of_ G. P. PUTNAM''S SONS The House Opposite_ A Mystery_ By ELIZABETH KENT Author of"Who?"
35205Tell me, what it is that you are looking for?"
35205Terrible business, what?"
35205That is what they are called, is n''t it?"
35205That it was because I was ashamed of my errand that I came here at this hour?
35205That meant she must live in Newhaven, and not far from the station at that-- but was it true?
35205The governess, Miss What''s her name, is with her?"
35205The heart of man is very evil.--But he knew no one who could have done this thing?
35205The police?"
35205The question now is not what I ought to have done, but what am I to do now?"
35205The truth?"
35205Then why on earth did n''t you tell me at once?
35205Then, on the witness- stand did n''t you feel that she was holding something back?
35205These Frenchmen, for instance, have they or have they not a connection with the case?
35205Think what it would mean to live in daily, hourly dread of exposure?
35205This amnesia, or whatever it was called, was it real, was it assumed?
35205This girl a criminal-- a thief?
35205This illness of hers-- was it real or could it have been feigned?"
35205This is how it is: The day before yesterday----""The day of the murder?"
35205This is n''t a conundrum, is it?"
35205Thompkins?
35205WHAT IS THE TRUTH?
35205Was I to blame that my blood leaped wildly through my veins, that my imagination was always on fire?
35205Was ever any one pursued by such persistent ill- luck?
35205Was every one mad to- day?
35205Was he a coward?
35205Was he again to be disappointed?
35205Was he going mad?
35205Was he so sure that his decision was not the outcome of his own desire?
35205Was he willing to assume such a burden?
35205Was it a man or a woman''s?"
35205Was it his duty to take upon himself the charge of a woman who was after all but a homicidal maniac?
35205Was it possible that he was now called upon to choose between the woman he hated and the woman he loved, between honour and dishonour?
35205Was it possible that she could have worn a wig?
35205Was it possible that the man dared to doubt his word?
35205Was it possible?
35205Was it surprising that she should have taken the first chance that was offered her of escaping from her grandmother''s thraldom?
35205Was she as innocent as she seemed?
35205Was that it?
35205Was there nothing he could say to turn her from her purpose?
35205Was this the moment to tell him the truth?
35205Wash his hands of her?
35205We''ll carry her to the waiting- room if you wish, or come to think of it, had n''t you better call an ambulance?
35205Well, assuming that it was Prentice he had rescued, what part had she played in the tragedy?
35205Well, what do you think of it?"
35205Well, what is it?"
35205Well-- which is it to be?"
35205What Ladyship?"
35205What about those Frenchmen?"
35205What answer could he give them?
35205What are you doing here?"
35205What can I do for you?"
35205What clue?"
35205What connection had he with the castle?"
35205What could have happened?
35205What could have occurred since then to make her distrust them and to plunge her into such a state of gloom?
35205What could have wrought this sudden change in him?
35205What could he do?
35205What could he say to her?
35205What did I want with pity?
35205What did the man know?
35205What do you mean?"
35205What do you mean?"
35205What do you say to taking her at once to a nursing home?"
35205What exactly is it that you are threatening me with?"
35205What excuse could he give for refusing to meet his supposed wife?
35205What had he discovered?
35205What had he done to be addressed in such a fashion?
35205What had you to go on?"
35205What has become of her?
35205What has brought you to town?"
35205What has life to offer me now?"
35205What have you to reproach me with?
35205What if she were dead or dying?
35205What if the doctor should consider it his duty to inform the police of her whereabouts?
35205What if the doctor should refuse to keep her?
35205What is it you want to know?"
35205What is the lady''s name, please?"
35205What more do you want?"
35205What of that?
35205What on earth should he say?
35205What shall I do?"
35205What should he answer?
35205What should he do?
35205What should he sign himself?
35205What sort of a man is he?"
35205What the devil was the man driving at, thought Cyril; did he suspect him by any chance?
35205What then had aroused the man''s suspicions?
35205What unpleasant connection could she possibly have with it?
35205What was I to do?
35205What was he going to do, now that he knew her identity?
35205What was he going to do, now that he knew the truth?
35205What was she to me?
35205What was that?
35205What was the matter with the man?
35205What was there to have prevented her from giving him an overdose of some drug during one of the many times when he was half- stupefied with opium?
35205What was to be done now?
35205What was to be done?
35205What were her sufferings compared to mine?
35205What would she say?
35205What''s up?
35205What?"
35205When can I get you a corpse-- indeed?
35205When the latter had read them, he asked:"Did you consider her ladyship a dangerous lunatic?"
35205When?"
35205Where are they?"
35205Where are those stolen goods of which I am to become the custodian?"
35205Where is she staying at present?"
35205Where is she?"
35205Where is that?
35205Where''s your chivalry, Peter?"
35205Where?"
35205Which one would you recommend?
35205Who can tell?
35205Who could have flogged her except your charming cousin?"
35205Who else could have done it?
35205Who were they?"
35205Who, then, is this mysterious person she visited?
35205Who?"
35205Why could n''t Guy mind his own business?
35205Why did n''t you come to me at once on leaving Miss Prentice?"
35205Why do you doubt their relationship?"
35205Why do you suddenly pretend to love me?"
35205Why do you treat me like this?"
35205Why had it never occurred to him that his lies might involve an innocent person?
35205Why had she feared arrest?
35205Why had the significance of that fact not struck him before?
35205Why have the police been unable to find her?"
35205Why have you never suspected her?
35205Why not be frank with me?
35205Why not?"
35205Why should I have helped her to break the bonds her own vows had imposed on her?
35205Why should I persist in the struggle now that Anita refuses to smile on me?
35205Why should any one believe him in future?
35205Why should he attempt to pry into her life?
35205Why then are you not willing to end it?"
35205Why were you so anxious that I should not see the jewels?"
35205Why, do n''t you see that no woman with a spark of religion in her could have allowed her mistress to be treated as Lady Wilmersley was?"
35205Why, even if I could bribe some one to procure me a corpse, how on earth could you get it to Geralton?"
35205Will you help us?"
35205Will you kindly lift your veil, m''m?"
35205Will you please call your nurse?"
35205Will you tell me what motive I am supposed to have had for wishing to conceal it?
35205Would he hold his tongue?
35205Would he understand?
35205Would it not be horrible, if he should suddenly learn that he is the nameless child of a servant girl and a villain?
35205Would it satisfy them?
35205Would you have had me give up that sacred task because a pink and white baby wanted to flaunt her beauty before the world?
35205Would you mind not letting any one know the identity of your patient?
35205Yes, Mrs. Eversley had seen her try one belonging to the under- housemaid.--Did many of the servants own bicycles?
35205Yes, he was a fine, strong lad-- he would say no more.... Can you imagine the scene?
35205Yes.--Had one of them been taken?
35205Yet if she was not insane, what excuse could he find to explain her crime?
35205You can no longer pose as Miss Prentice''s husband----""Why not?"
35205You did n''t know that, did you?"
35205You do n''t believe him, I hope?"
35205You do n''t believe that nonsense, do you?
35205You here?
35205You hunt, of course?"
35205You know him by reputation, do n''t you?"
35205You see the force of that argument, my lord?"
35205You tell me that it has been proved that she really left Geralton on the afternoon before the murder?"
35205You think I fear you?
35205You understand that, do n''t you?"
35205You understand?"
35205You will have to go to Geralton at once?"
35205Your position could not be worse than it is, could it?
35205and-- and what was in the bag?"
35205http://www.archive.org/details/whobyelizabethke00kentiala WHO?
35205what shall I do?
38888A fine pair, sure enough; and in what shape does the Dimber come?
38888A wound in the leg?
38888Ah, how Dared I think to Become one of you?
38888All?
38888Am I to understand that you have a vigilance committee already organized here?
38888Among the farmers whose horses have been stolen, do you know one who is thoroughly shrewd, cautious and reliable?
38888And Mamie Rutger? 38888 And Mamie Rutger?"
38888And Miss Holmes; what more of her?
38888And did you answer it,asked I, maliciously,"in the same good English you are addressing to me?"
38888And has all been done that can be?
38888And in the presence of his son, Johnnie?
38888And that this young lady was accompanied on that day by a handsome young gentleman?
38888And the men?
38888And then you and Grace Ballou tried to elope?
38888And this is all you know about the business?
38888And undoubtedly_ you_ are the fellow who shot at me?
38888And was this precious programme carried out?
38888And what are we to do?
38888And what elephant''s tracks did ye''s find till the south av us?
38888And what of them?
38888And who do the folks suspect of doing the mischief?
38888And why my help rather than that of another?
38888And why,asks Mr. Warren, eagerly,"must our time be regulated by the moon?"
38888And you have all failed to find a clue to the identity of the horse- thieves?
38888And you have changed your opinion?
38888And you knew him?
38888And you want me to go to New Orleans?
38888And you wrote me that letter of warning?
38888Any''nish''lairs, quiet fences, or cosy jungles, eh?
38888Anything wrong?
38888Ar- m- m- m?
38888Are they going to form a colony of some new sort? 38888 Are_ you_ a detective?"
38888Arn''t they a pretty couple?
38888As a stranger, and an unprejudiced person,she began,"how does this shameful charge against Dr. Bethel appear to you?
38888As how?
38888As how?
38888Bad?
38888Bethel is in close attendance?
38888Briggs? 38888 Brookhouse said that his wound was caused by an accident, I suppose?"
38888But dropping the dandy, tell me what are we going to do with Jim Long?
38888But meantime, before they are taken to the river, where are they ambushed, then?
38888But wo n''t old Harding give these rascals warning by claiming his stolen property?
38888But would it not be better to tell Mrs. Bethel the truth, than to allow her to think the woman she has befriended, ungrateful?
38888But you did not ask her?
38888But, Long,I interposed,"does this young lady, this Miss Manvers, sanction the story of a treasure from the deep, or is it only a flying rumor?"
38888But,said the astonished man,"you found some of them?"
38888Can I?
38888Can you show me the bullet, sometime, if I wish to see it?
38888Can you?
38888Carnes,I said, after a moment of silence between us,"had n''t you better cultivate Briggs?"
38888Concerning the gentleman in gray?
38888Did I not say I should protect my property?
38888Did I?
38888Did you come to tell me this because you fancy that I care for Arch Brookhouse?
38888Did you dress a wound for Louis Brookhouse?
38888Did you dress a wound for him?
38888Did you ever know Miss Amy Holmes?
38888Did you ever see such fine chicks, Chris?
38888Did you extract the ball?
38888Did you hear her?
38888Do n''t you see the arrow?
38888Do you know his age?
38888Do you know his occupation?
38888Do you know whether this fellow Tom Briggs has any relatives about Trafton?
38888Do you know why she refused to come?
38888Do you really mean to let him go?
38888Do you think I would trust you?
38888Do you think it may have been fired from the gate, or a few feet beyond it?
38888Do you think it probable that some Groveland Lothario was mixed up in this elopement business?
38888Do you think your shot injured the man?
38888Do you think, then, that the stolen horses, the last haul of course, are still in Trafton?
38888Do you wish me to read it?
38888Doctor, ca n''t_ we_ do something?
38888Doctor,I said, turning to"our old woman,""you remember the day I came to you with my wounded arm?"
38888Does she know why you came to the city?
38888Extra business?
38888First, then, what do we know?
38888For God''s sake,_ what_ are you?
38888Fred is the absent one?
38888Has he spoken?
38888Have I the material in me for a passable detective?
38888Have ye come ter assist in the body huntin''?
38888Have ye done wid yer gallivantin''?
38888Have you any reason for suspecting any one? 38888 Have you got any particulars?"
38888Have you had any visitors?
38888Have you heard from Dr. Barnard since noon?
38888Have you seen Dwight since?
38888He''s new to Trafton, I think you said?
38888His relation; that of family physician, I suppose?
38888Honor bright?
38888How did Mr. Dwight travel?
38888How did you find me out here?
38888How did you manage it?
38888How do I know that you will let me go, after all?
38888How do you feel?
38888How do you know there were two, sir?
38888How far have you got?
38888How is the doctor, Adele?
38888How is the patient?
38888How long since Mr. Brooks and Mr. Dwight paid a visit to Groveland?
38888How many men have you?
38888How old was the wound, when you saw it?
38888How the wrong end?
38888How was it discovered?
38888How would you like to go back to Amora, Miss Holmes? 38888 How''s that?"
38888How?
38888How?
38888I am Afraid for_ you_; but give it up now? 38888 I mean-- is it not often done by medical men?"
38888I s''pose then you''ll want to get back to Trafton to- night?
38888I suppose it is to drive me from Trafton?
38888I suppose you have your man in view?
38888I suppose you intend to investigate this matter?
38888I will tell you, but first will you please answer one more question?
38888I''ve kept an open eye on every train from both ways, but the only arrival in this city, worth making mintion of, has been-- who d''ye think?
38888I? 38888 If you want to study Blake Simpson''s cranium,"I say, testily,"why do n''t you take the living subject?
38888If you wished to organize a small band of regulators, say six or eight, where could you find the right men, and how soon?
38888In dead earnest, are n''t you? 38888 In gray?"
38888Indeed; who else is going?
38888Is Carnes in?
38888Is Miss Manvers at home, and awake?
38888Is he? 38888 Is there anything more?"
38888Is this escapade known among your neighbors?
38888It is?
38888Jim,I said, ignoring his whimsical complaint,"who was the fair haired lady?"
38888Jim,broke in Mrs. Harris, eagerly,"who did it?
38888Last night?
38888Long, what has happened?
38888Long, you had ought to know something about your own gun; was that wound of Bethel''s made at long or short range?
38888Long,I asked, in a low tone,"do you know any person in Ireton?"
38888Long,I exclaimed,"what lucky fate has brought you back?"
38888Long,I said, sharply,"what do you mean?"
38888Long,he said, turning to Jim,"here are my keys; will you act as my steward until-- my place is restored to quiet?"
38888Mark me, Long; do you see those bits of paper along the fence? 38888 Meanin''me, I suppose?"
38888Miss Manvers must be a fair target for fortune- hunters, Long; are there any such in Trafton?
38888Mr. Long has explained the nature of my business?
38888No?
38888Nothing wrong about the gentleman, I hope?
38888Now, Mrs. Ballou, tell me who is Miss Amy Holmes?
38888Now, sir,turning to the man nearest Briggs,"where were these things hidden?"
38888Now, thin, be shquare; which is the purtyest gurl?
38888Of the grave robbery? 38888 Of what sort?"
38888Of what, Carnes?
38888Oh, does he?
38888Oh-- is not that a sensationalism?
38888Some one had tried to dress the wound, had they not?
38888That will relieve you a little?
38888That window is now just as it was last night, I take it?
38888That would be nearly two months before Mamie Rutger and Nellie Ewing disappeared?
38888That''s a fine stepping horse, doctor,nodding after the receding turnout;"is it owned in the town?"
38888The loutish chap with red hair and a scarred cheek?
38888The others?
38888The question is this: What''s in our hand? 38888 Then you are not prejudiced in his favor?"
38888Then you have fathomed their purpose?
38888Then you look for your night operator by the down express?
38888Then you think now that Miss Ewing eloped?
38888Then you wish to remain in Trafton?
38888Then, Dr. Hess, would you object to our calling for counsel-- for an assistant?
38888Think not?
38888To New Orleans?
38888Trafton?
38888Very good,I said, rising, and taking up my hat,"any message to send to Carnes?
38888Was it a bullet wound?
38888Was it serious?
38888Was she abducted? 38888 Was that true?"
38888Was your patient Louis Brookhouse?
38888Well, Carnes,I said, when we were once more alone in our room at the hotel,"what has happened?
38888Well, Long?
38888Wh-- what do you want?
38888Wh-- who are you?
38888Whar?
38888What are you going to do?
38888What did it mean? 38888 What do you make of it?"
38888What do you mean by short range?
38888What do you propose to do?
38888What do you think_ now_, old man? 38888 What do you want?"
38888What does this assault mean? 38888 What for, now?"
38888What for?
38888What has Arch done?
38888What is he like?
38888What is it? 38888 What is this Briggs?"
38888What is your question?
38888What shall we do about it?
38888What shall we do with these fellows?
38888What''s that?
38888When are you comin''our way again, Dwight?
38888When would Bethel be able to talk? 38888 When you opened the door and looked out, could you catch a glimpse of the man who shot at you?"
38888When?
38888Where can he be found?
38888Where did you get this?
38888Where did you get those tools, fellow?
38888Where did you pick up that name? 38888 Where is Amora?"
38888Where is Johnny La Porte at present?
38888Where is your daughter now?
38888Who has it?
38888Who has presumed to open my door?
38888Who is Johnny La Porte?
38888Who is the leddy, I tell yee''s?
38888Who is the leddy? 38888 Who''s the purty girl as bowed till yee''s?
38888Whom did they attempt to abduct?
38888Why did you not heed this warning?
38888Why improbable?
38888Why not?
38888Why, then?
38888Why, you have your supposed principals and accessories, and, perhaps, the outline of a plot; but where is your_ motive_?
38888Why? 38888 Will she, indeed?"
38888Will there be a scrimmage, think you?
38888Will to- morrow do? 38888 Will you do that?
38888Will you give me time?
38888Will you tell me where and how you arrested the Brookhouse gang? 38888 Wonder what old Brookhouse will do about it?"
38888Would he do that? 38888 Yes, Dr. Barnard has all confidence in him; and then-- you know the nature of his relation with the family?"
38888Yes,replied Charlie,"were n''t you?"
38888You are a physiognomist, then?
38888You are fixed in your desire not to have your daughter further interviewed?
38888You are not to hold me to blame?
38888You intend to remain?
38888You know all this?
38888You know old Harding, the hardware dealer?
38888You think there are those who fear Bethel because they believe him to be a detective? 38888 You think, then, that Miss Holmes made a willful effort to deceive you, when she told you that the album verse was written by Professor Bartlett?
38888You were n''t trying to give Barney a scare, I suppose?
38888You-- you are----?
38888You?
38888You?
38888_ Is that all?_she questions.
38888_ We_, Long? 38888 _ What?_""It is large, and nearly square,"I hasten to say, enjoying his marked amazement.
38888_ Where_ were they?
38888_ You?_I exclaimed.
38888( I hear his fiddle, so I s''pose he can be seen?)
38888And how do you propose to carry out your search?"
38888And if so, why?
38888And now, would you mind showing me that letter?"
38888And tell me, Jim, where may we find your model Traftonite, your hero of the curls, moustaches, dainty hands, and discriminating politeness?
38888And the horse; if she was murdered, was the horse slaughtered also?
38888And then Dr. Barnard was taken ill. After that I waited-- have you found it?"
38888And was Mr. Holtz''s story intended for_ me_?
38888And was there such a thing as a hotel?
38888And were they both buried in one grave?
38888And what shall I say in return?"
38888And why?
38888And will she permit me to leave Gerry Brown here, for form''s sake?
38888And would she, after all, keep the secret of my identity?
38888And you will take the same train?"
38888And, if so, how?
38888Arch leans forward; is there something standing by the horse''s head?
38888Are the two missing girls_ there_, in charge of Fred Brookhouse, and are they becoming restive at the non- appearance of the others?
38888Are you convinced?"
38888Arm, eh?
38888As for Blake and Dimber, if they_ were_ figuring as dummy detectives, who had instigated their masquerade?
38888As for you and Gerry--""Gerry?"
38888At the first glance it struck me as being familiar; I had seen the man before, but where?
38888Ballou?"
38888Bethel turned his eyes toward the doctor, and said, eagerly:"Why did you call him_ Bathurst_?"
38888Bethel?"
38888Blake was coming back, but how?
38888But I made no audible comment, and he dismissed the subject to ask the stereotyped questions,"How was Dr. Bethel?
38888But about our dummy: when can you produce him?"
38888But there was much to learn before we could decide and reply to the query,"What next?"
38888By- the- by,_ is_ there a Professor Asa Bartlett at Amora?"
38888Ca n''t you help me to some sort of a theory that wo n''t break of its own weight?"
38888Can that be the voice of my hostess?
38888Can you cut away this clothing?"
38888Can you get your hands on Johnny La Porte?
38888Can you guess at a motive?"
38888Can you use it?"
38888Can your woman''s wit help me?
38888Carnes, what''s your opinion of Long?"
38888Could I find a livery stable in the town?
38888Could he be of any service?
38888Could it be that Farmer Rutger or''Squire Ewing had forgotten all my instructions, and been insane enough to write me?
38888Could that indolent- looking novel reader be meditating a crime, and only waiting for time to bring the hour?
38888D''ye mind the chap ye seen me in company with last evening early?"
38888Denham?"
38888Did Nellie Ewing ever attend school at Amora?"
38888Did he wish the report to circulate, and himself remain unknown as its author?
38888Did it not signify the high value placed upon my shrewdness and integrity by this discriminating man of business?
38888Did she give her true reason for wishing my revolver?
38888Did she know Mr. Dwight''s place of residence?
38888Did she run away?"
38888Did she wish him to make her his wife?
38888Did the young lady elope?
38888Did ye ever know me to miss a face?
38888Did you deal fairly at Amora and Groveland?
38888Did you notice any little discrepancies in his speech?
38888Did you notice the size of the man at the ladder?"
38888Did you observe it?"
38888Did you see Carnes on the express?"
38888Do n''t you see what they are?"
38888Do you believe it?"
38888Do you comprehend me?"
38888Do you know anything about the matter?"
38888Do you know of a place in this vicinity called The Corners?"
38888Do you mean to accept my invitation, sir?"
38888Do you mean to use anything that I say to make me trouble?"
38888Do you need any help?
38888Do you really think the man a detective?
38888Do you remember a conversation of ours when I gave my opinion of Dr. Bethel, and the''average Traftonite''?"
38888Do you see the drift?"
38888Do you think it impossible that Dr. Bethel has done this thing?
38888Do you think it impossible that Dr. Bethel has done this thing?"
38888Do you think they would spare you were the positions reversed?"
38888Do you want time to telegraph to Arch Brookhouse?
38888Doctor, did ye know the darned thing was n''t loaded?"
38888Dwight?
38888Evidently she expected some comment, but I only said:"One more, Mrs. Ballou, why have you held back this bit of paper until now?"
38888For what?"
38888Got shot again?
38888Got shot again?
38888Had Dimber Joe closed his novel to retire like an honest man?
38888Had he actually discovered my identity?
38888Had he strolled out thus early to reconnoiter his territory?
38888Had the agent employed by''Squire Brookhouse played him a trick, or had he been himself duped?
38888Had this shrewd, incomprehensible Yankee guessed my secret?
38888Had''Squire Brookhouse procured the services of these men?
38888Harding, how are ye?"
38888Has Blaikie been a member of the gang from the first?"
38888Has he no occupation?"
38888Have you seen anything that looks like a detective?"
38888Hold yer gab, wo n''t yer?"
38888How about the note, Carnes?"
38888How came it that Jim Long was near the scene and ready for the rescue, at eleven o''clock at night?
38888How did it happen?"
38888How did she get rid of her horse after leaving Mrs. Ballou''s house?"
38888How discover their point of attack?
38888How do you propose to use them?"
38888How does it look to you?"
38888How had he eluded me?
38888How was I to act?
38888Hullo, what''s that Mick o''your''n doin''?"
38888I closed my note- book and asked:"Did any other young people from Groveland attend the Amora school?
38888I hear his fiddle, so I s''pose he can be seen?"
38888I made an entry in my note- book, and then asked:"Is there a seminary in Amora?"
38888I see; some of the old lot there yet; wood piles suffer?"
38888I suppose you are aware what it now becomes my duty to do?"
38888I suppose you got the bearings of this Trafton business at the Agency?"
38888I suppose you have found that out?"
38888I suppose you have found that out?"
38888I suppose you understand that?"
38888I went over to Jim Long, who had seated himself on the well platform, and asked:"How is this going to terminate, Jim?"
38888I wonder where Jim Long would place him in the scale of Trafton weights and measures?"
38888If Blake and Dimber were playing at detectives, why was it?
38888If she had been misinformed, had it not been for some purpose?
38888If the doctor exhumed it, how did he obtain those tools?
38888If there was a track as big as a fly''s foot would n''t I have hit it?
38888If they do n''t run their booty over that road, where the mischief_ do_ they take it?"
38888If they had succeeded in escaping, would Grace Ballou and Amy Holmes have gone to New Orleans in company with Louis Brookhouse?"
38888In my report from Groveland, you may remember that I mentioned going to the station to fetch Miss Amy Holmes?"
38888In what condition?
38888Indeed, did not this theory account for their seemingly aimless sojourn here?
38888Is Archibald Junior the eldest son?"
38888Is Johnny La Porte in hiding at Amora?
38888Is Nellie Ewing seriously ill?"
38888Is it covered wid confusion ye''d be afther havin''us, bad cess to ye?
38888Is not that so, Long?"
38888Is not this so?"
38888Is not this-- a-- exhuming of a subject, a frequent occurrence?"
38888Is that your meaning?"
38888Judging him as men judge men, do you think he_ could_ be guilty of such a deed?"
38888Might she not have considered all this when she planned her flight?
38888Never saw me shoot, did ye?
38888Now, was Nellie Ewing abducted?
38888Och, then, did n''t I make the illigant rhyme though?"
38888On the floor was an empty wine- bottle-- where was the other, for Blaikie had brought two?
38888Or to Groveland and the widow Ballou''s?"
38888Seen the young doctor, ai n''t ye?"
38888Shall I ever banish from my memory those great dark eyes, too full of anguish for tears?
38888Shall I ever forget that woful face, white as the face of death, rigid with the calmness of despair?
38888She paused, and something in her face made me say, sternly:"How did Johnny La Porte manage Nellie Ewing?"
38888Should we drive to this house and there eat the best dinner to be served in the city?"
38888So this is the ultimatum of Mr. Brookhouse?
38888Suddenly she moved nearer me, and said, in a lower tone:"Chris, did you bring any letters for any one except mother, last night?"
38888Tell me, is it true that Dr. Bethel is out of danger?"
38888Tell me-- I''ll never, never give you away, is she pretty?"
38888The two questions now agitating the minds of the Trafton gossips were:"Who shot Dr. Bethel, if Jim Long did not?"
38888Then I said:"Now, old man, why not run down to that little paradise of freebooters and see what we think of it?"
38888Then after a moment''s silence, and looking me squarely in the face,"what do you want me to do?"
38888Then she said, quite calmly:"In his present condition, will he not require the constant attention of a surgeon?"
38888Then turning toward Carnes he asked, with a most insinuating smile:"Was n''t you askin''something?"
38888Then, looking up again, quickly:"Do you not admire Miss Barnard?"
38888Then, with a condescending smile as he drew on his right glove,"Know anybody at Amora?"
38888There_ may_ be something in it, but should you feel justified in suspecting this young man as the possible author of_ your_ anonymous letter?"
38888This is their first failure, and why?"
38888Viewed from a scientific and practical standpoint, does such a deed appear to you to be the horrible thing_ some_ seem to think it?"
38888Was Dimber about to strike?
38888Was I growing imbecile?
38888Was he living or dead?
38888Was she forcibly abducted?
38888Was she murdered for revenge, or from motives of jealousy?
38888Was she murdered?
38888Was she murdered?
38888Was she there, too?"
38888Was the man who had given me that pistol wound really in Trafton?
38888Was there some individual whose ears he wished it to reach through the talkative landlord?
38888Was_ she_ murdered?
38888Were you following the mob?"
38888What about Miss Lowenstein?"
38888What could his son''s horse bring save a warning or a rescue?
38888What did he mean?
38888What did you learn about the Brookhouse investigation, Bathurst?"
38888What do wee''s know?
38888What do wee''s surmise, and what have wee''s got till find out?"
38888What do you advise?
38888What do you think, Bathurst?"
38888What makes you suspect blacklegs about that little town?"
38888What might or might not be expected of such a character?
38888What new mischief was on foot?
38888What next?
38888What others?
38888What should I do?
38888What spirit prompted my answer?
38888What was the meaning of their strange words?
38888What was the occasion of their quarrel?
38888What will it make of you?"
38888What''s the mischief?"
38888What''s the point?"
38888What''s yer idee?"
38888What''s your notion?"
38888What, then?
38888When do you want to see him?"
38888When shall we see you again in Trafton?"
38888When will I find the leddy at home, then?"
38888When you told my landlord that Blaikie was a detective, did you expect the news to reach me through him?"
38888Where is Carnes?"
38888Where should I look for him?
38888Where the unerring foresight, the fine instinct, that should have warned me of danger ahead?
38888Where was my professional wisdom then?
38888Whether his statement were true or false, what had been his reason for confiding it to Mr. Holtz?
38888Which way had Dimber gone?
38888While Harris was absent for a few moments, during the afternoon, the night operator sent the following to Carnes: Where found?
38888Who are my enemies?
38888Who can you send to Groveland?"
38888Who had committed the deed?
38888Who had written me?
38888Who set you on as decoy and temptress, and what reward did you receive?
38888Who would think of overhauling Trafton for these stolen horses?
38888Why are they likely to have a''balk?''
38888Why had I not learned before that Nellie Ewing and Mamie Rutger were together at Amora?
38888Why had she stolen that letter of warning?
38888Why had their two fathers neglected to give me so important a piece of information?
38888Why have you voted me guiltless, in opposition to the expressed opinions of two- thirds of Trafton?"
38888Why not be an impostor in Trafton, as well as anywhere else?
38888Why not?
38888Why warn''t folks told of this sooner?
38888Why warn''t the alarm given, so''at citizens could agone and seen for theirselves how things was?"
38888Why, then, had he confided in the man?
38888Will it disturb or excite you to answer?"
38888Will she remain in her own house until I see her again, which may not be until to- morrow?
38888Will you be good enough to explain?"
38888Will you bind up my arm while I tell you mine?"
38888Will you find it?"
38888Will you point out the spot where his feet rested?"
38888Will you take pity on him and give him some breakfast?"
38888With the last note of the violin came the single syllable,"Eh?"
38888Would Mr. Blaikie choose, and choose quickly?
38888Would he sit thus all the evening?
38888Would she return my letter?
38888Would the man do_ nothing_ to break this monotony?
38888Ye ai n''t goin''to take a new route, I hope?"
38888You comprehend me?"
38888You did not suspect me of burglary, did you?
38888You have said that Nellie Ewing has not been at the theater of late; has been blue, and ill. What has caused all this?"
38888You surely do n''t think Long guilty?"
38888[ Illustration:"Chris, did you bring any letters for any one, except mother, last night?"
38888[ Illustration:"Now, old man, why not run down to that little paradise of freebooters and see what we think of it?"
38888[ Illustration:"Why did you not heed this warning?"
38888_ Can_ you?"
38888_ What''s that?_"Wheels again; swift rushing, rattling wheels.
38888ah,_ who_?"
38888and what kind of a game are you giving me, anyhow?"
38888and"Where did Jim Long, who had always been considered but one remove from a pauper, get the money to pay so heavy a bail?"
38888are you_ sure_?"
38888at least to answer questions?
38888ejaculated the valorous officer of the law,"is-- is there a man here that''s got a pistol?"
38888ejaculated the valorous officer of the law,"is-- is there a man here that''s got a pistol?"
38888he asks,"and when?"
38888how do you reason the case?"
38888or has he already''gone to join the circus?''"
38888retorted Long, in an aggrieved tone,"look here, boss, you do n''t think_ I_ ever mean anythin''personal by my remarks?
38888she exclaimed, starting slightly;"you are not a--""Not a Swede?
38888the 17th?''
38888the rich?"
38888the show business?"
38888to be sure, a-- a patent- right agent, is he not?"
38888what more do you want to know?
38888you were up there?"
51445Are you a doctor, Citizen?
51445Are you a plain fool? 51445 Are you all right?"
51445Are you an artist?
51445Are you an artist?
51445Ca n''t you feel he has to do this?
51445Ca n''t you just probe my mind? 51445 Can we hold the girl here?"
51445Did anybody try to stop him?
51445Did n''t you meet Len?
51445Do you know who he was interested in before he died?
51445Do you think I could control a man all the time he''s in prison and on trial? 51445 Do you want to find the killer?"
51445Does he share your prejudice?
51445Find out if the murderer used the picture from the paper?
51445Has the drug worn off?
51445How do we know you''ll bring in the right man?
51445Is Citizen Smith an astronautical engineer?
51445Is he a professional painter?
51445Is he the Len downstairs in the beer hall?
51445Is that what you want to know?
51445Is this a survey?
51445May I take my time?
51445Mylady, may we use your phone?
51445Now can you tell us why you think the killer is a woman?
51445Our want?
51445Protector Sordman, could I just talk to you?
51445Was it that Jackie Baker?
51445What about Manager Kurt?
51445What are you talking about?
51445What did you say about me?
51445What does your husband think of Talent?
51445What good will that do?
51445What''s that got to do with it? 51445 What''s your name?"
51445What, Andy?
51445What, Husband?
51445What?
51445Where are you going?
51445Where does Manager Kurt live?
51445Where?
51445Where?
51445Who are you?
51445Who told you that?
51445Who''s Raven English?
51445Who''s going with me?
51445Who''s the leader of your group?
51445Why are you calling, Andy?
51445Why bother me?
51445Why do men do anything?
51445Why do n''t we visit her?
51445Why does your husband hate Talent?
51445Why her?
51445Why not?
51445Why would I kill Joe? 51445 Why''her''?"
51445Why''her''instead of''him''?
51445Will you undress for me now?
51445Would anyone gain by his death?
51445Would you like to see them dragged out at night and treated the way you''ve treated this girl?
51445You do n''t take John seriously?
51445--It''ll never end, will it?
51445And that one?
51445And that''s why you came?"
51445Do I have to answer questions?"
51445George said,"Andy, what the hell are you doing?"
51445I suppose your husband feels that way about art?"
51445Is it too much?"
51445Is there a psycher in the house?"
51445Lee?
51445May we enter?"
51445May we talk to you?"
51445That one lying in the brush with an axe?
51445That one, preparing to kill, clawing since he was a baby at a world that torments him?
51445What''s the evidence against this girl?"
51445Why are you all suspicious?
51445Why?
51445Will you give me that long?"
51445_ My_ power?
43765A mystery?
43765After you had arrived at your present boarding- house?
43765And Goodlove-- is he in jail?
43765And can you succeed as you have in recovering this property?
43765And has she intimated that you had better find another home?
43765And it has been stolen?
43765And no one screamed in this house?
43765And you had no suspicion?
43765And you have promised to recover her bonds?
43765And you have that box?
43765And you think you will not be able to pay her?
43765And you want me to aid you?
43765Are all the windows tightly closed?
43765Are you a maniac or a rogue?
43765Are you dead gone so soon?
43765Are you in trouble, miss?
43765Are you sure it is safe?
43765Are you sure you have the right house?
43765At what hour?
43765But are you sure you have the proof?
43765But that box, Ike?
43765But why does the man follow her?
43765But, madam, who is it insulting me?
43765Can I advise?
43765Can it be possible,asked the landlady,"that the new boarder is a detective?"
43765Did I ever have any dealings with you?
43765Did I not promise that I would recover it for you?
43765Did he deny knowing about you?
43765Did he go to California?
43765Did n''t you hear the cry?
43765Did you hear the cries of''fire, fire?''
43765Did you not ask him about your parentage?
43765Did you tell any one else in the house about your loss save the landlady?
43765Did you?
43765Do n''t you like it?
43765Do you anticipate the news I have to tell you?
43765Do you know anything about that picture?
43765Do you live in the city?
43765Do you mean to tell me you did not yell fire?
43765Do you not think it risky?
43765Do you think there is a fire?
43765Do you think we were in it?
43765Do you want an answer?
43765Does he accept the proof?
43765Does he know about me?
43765Eh, Jack, do you fear? 43765 From what room did the cry come?"
43765Have you a plan?
43765Have you gone crazy?
43765Have you talked much to the detectives?
43765He was the thief?
43765Hello, Ike,said Jack;"what''s that?"
43765How are you going to find out all about it, sergeant?
43765How can I when she is veiled?
43765How can we do it?
43765How can you ask such a question? 43765 How can you do it?"
43765How do I know?
43765How do you intend to make a division?
43765How do you know?
43765How is it I need you?
43765How much money did you have?
43765How?
43765How?
43765How?
43765How?
43765How?
43765I ca n''t?
43765I do?
43765If I surrender it will you let me off?
43765Is he a Frenchman?
43765Is it possible I have made a mistake?
43765Is it possible?
43765Is there a fire anywhere around here?
43765Is there a fire in your house?
43765Is there any one in the house whom you suspect?
43765Is there?
43765Is what the case?
43765Is your real name Sidney?
43765It is?
43765Mr. Goodlove knows better than any one else that Miss Sidney was robbed; why does he pretend ignorance as to the cause of her leaving?
43765Nimble Ike?
43765No fire?
43765Say, sergeant, let me ask you one question: Have you received orders to test our department by these false alarms?
43765Say, young man, what is it you are trying to accomplish?
43765Shall I speak right out?
43765Shall I tell you my story?
43765Shall we be locked up and raise old Cain in the station house, or shall we make these officers dance right here?
43765She is?
43765Sneak in?
43765Strange that you were found out?
43765Suppose she does plunge into the lake?
43765That old miser is my uncle?
43765That''s so; but do you see that lady''s excitement?
43765The veiled lady?
43765Then what do you propose to do?
43765Then why did you force yourself into my house?
43765Then why do you ask me who she is?
43765Then why in thunder did you yell''fire, fire?''
43765Then you have decided on a plan?
43765They are not officers?
43765To aid me?
43765Well, what about the box?
43765Well?
43765What are you on to?
43765What business is it of yours who the lady is?
43765What do you mean, Ike?
43765What do you mean, Iky?
43765What do you mean?
43765What do you mean?
43765What do you think?
43765What do you want-- the earth?
43765What fire?
43765What have you found?
43765What is all this ado about, anyhow?
43765What is so strange?
43765What is the lay?
43765What is the matter?
43765What is the mystery?
43765What is your plan for a starter?
43765What is your plan?
43765What is your plan?
43765What makes you so certain?
43765What makes you think so? 43765 What reason did she give for going?"
43765What shall we do?
43765What will you do?
43765What will you give?
43765When does he start in?
43765When will you start in?
43765When?
43765Where are you going?
43765Where has she gone?
43765Where is your proof?
43765Where will we meet?
43765Where?
43765Who are you fellows anyhow?
43765Who are you talking to?
43765Who are you, young man?
43765Who are you?
43765Who is the person?
43765Who says I stole the bonds?
43765Who says so?
43765Who spoke then?
43765Who spoke?
43765Who was it screamed?
43765Who was the guilty party?
43765Who was the thief?
43765Whom would you suspect?
43765Why did I tell you?
43765Why not?
43765Why should you take all this trouble on my behalf?
43765Why, partner?
43765Why?
43765Why?
43765Will we? 43765 Will you explain your words?"
43765Will you tell me your plan?
43765Will you visit me at my home?
43765Will your man be on hand?
43765Would you like to meet him?
43765Would you sneak in if you had a plan?
43765Yes; did you?
43765You are?
43765You are?
43765You are?
43765You are?
43765You call me a scoundrel?
43765You can?
43765You did?
43765You discern why I told?
43765You do?
43765You do?
43765You have absolute proof?
43765You laugh at me, you young rascals?
43765You never opened it?
43765You promise?
43765You say there''s bigger game in this house?
43765You think so?
43765You want an answer to your question?
43765You will convince me?
43765You will recover them?
43765You will?
43765You will?
43765You will?
43765You will?
43765All business came to a standstill and the question arose, who was doing the barking, the squealing, the cackling and the quacking?
43765And now can I advise you?"
43765Are you really not Miss Galt?"
43765At that moment there came a voice asking:"Why do n''t you rap that dude on the head?"
43765But let me ask you, is this your first offense?
43765But what do you think of that picture?"
43765But will you tell me how you managed to recover my bonds?"
43765Can we call and see you occasionally?"
43765Do n''t you fellows try to rob me, do you hear?"
43765Do you know what it means to be alone in the world?"
43765Have you any recollection of the appearance of either of the men?"
43765Have you fallen in love with her?"
43765He apologized to the owner of the house, went down among his men and asked:"Did you men hear those screams?"
43765He did not say anything direct, but did project:"Suppose you should find your uncle, and he should disapprove of your plans?"
43765He drew his mask lantern and the old man asked:"Are you a detective?"
43765He held some further talk with the girl, and then asked:"What is your name?"
43765He just stood and gazed, when another of the youths appeared to say:"Charley, why do n''t you smash Decker in the jaw?
43765He said:"You two young rascals, how dare you address me?"
43765How did you do it?"
43765I ca n''t stop to tell you now; but who is that fellow?
43765I wonder if that fellow is acquainted with the girl, or is merely following her on speculation?"
43765I wonder if we can get in on this job with any hope of success?"
43765Ike asked by signal:"What shall we do?"
43765Ike did not conclude to reveal his identity at once, and met the question with a similar one:"Say, young fellow, who are you?"
43765Ike''s eyes brightened up as he asked:"And what is your suspicion?"
43765Is your real name Ward?"
43765It was too late to avoid them, but they did ask:"What is that?"
43765No; but what did you mean by yelling fire?"
43765Now what is your decision?
43765Of whom?"
43765Old man, see here; do you want to be locked up?
43765Once out of sight Jack asked:"What happened; Ike?"
43765One day Jack asked:"Ike, are you sure you have the right man?"
43765Our hero had not seen his face; he could not be the vocal deceiver, however, and the question arose, Who had performed this marvelous trick?
43765Sara was thoughtful a moment and then asked:"Are you sure he is my uncle?"
43765She could not speak for a full minute, but when she did find voice she exclaimed:"And you really have recovered all my property?"
43765Smith?"
43765The door of the house was opened by a gentleman enveloped in a dressing- gown, who in great excitement demanded:"What in thunder do you want?"
43765The dude looked around to learn who had offered the bold suggestion, and then demanded:"Who spoke then?"
43765The fellow looked over at Ike sharply and said:"Say, my friend, did you notice who used the insulting language?"
43765The foreman of the engine company approached and demanded:"Where is the fire?"
43765The girl looked the two handsome lads over, and again she murmured, as though unable to control her emotions:"Oh, what shall I do?"
43765The girl rose as though to walk away, when the man said:"Excuse me, but are you sure you are not playing me a little trick?
43765The girl stood and gazed in silence a moment and then said:"I thank you,"and involuntarily she added:"Oh, what shall I do?"
43765The ladies did not answer, and the professor again inquired:"Were you scared by my demonstration or did you, ah-- ah-- well, did you hear a voice?"
43765The landlady''s face flushed scarlet as she said:"Who made the statement?"
43765The man Goodlove looked at her and demanded:"Do you dare say I made the statement?"
43765The man managed to gasp:"What do you mean?"
43765The man wilted as he asked:"Did Miss Sidney hint that I was the robber?"
43765The old man showed signs of great excitement as he demanded:"What business is it of yours who I am?"
43765The old man uttered a cry, and advancing toward Ike seized his arm and demanded:"What do you mean?
43765The old man was very thoughtful for some moments but finally he said:"Can I trust you, young man?"
43765The roundsman was a friend of the two men who had been sent to the station house in disgrace, and he again asked:"How about Jones and O''Brien?"
43765The sergeant at the desk came rushing forth, demanding:"What''s the matter?
43765The woman laid the certificates on the table and the man said:"Where are the jewels and the money?"
43765The young man was thoughtful a moment, and then asked:"When did she go?"
43765There came a voice demanding, when Goodlove said she had no gold:"How do you know?
43765They stood and trembled involuntarily, and the dog continued:"Oh, is n''t it dead easy?
43765To- morrow I will return the stolen property to the owner, and then----""What then?"
43765Ward?"
43765Were you rummaging in her trunk?"
43765What I desire to know is, who is the lady whose portrait I see here?"
43765What are you all standing here for?"
43765What business has he to come around here and interfere with our fun?"
43765What do you mean?"
43765What do you want me to tell you?"
43765What is the matter with you?"
43765What scared you?"
43765When can I see her?"
43765When did you last see your bonds?"
43765When will you see me again?"
43765When will you work the racket?"
43765Where are the bonds you stole from Miss Sidney''s trunk, and the money?"
43765Where''s the fire?
43765Who are you?"
43765Who is to blame?"
43765Who is your new boarder?"
43765Who says I did?"
43765Who was it?
43765Why do you disturb that poor old Egyptian who has been asleep for over three thousand years?"
43765Will you go to jail or surrender the stolen property?"
43765With equal excitement the sergeant demanded:"Where is the fire?"
43765You have found him?"
43765You know me, do n''t you?"
43765You remember a great wedding we had in New York about ten years ago?"
43765You say you know one for whom that picture might be accepted as the portrait?"
43765is that the case, Ike?"
43765said Ike, and he asked:"Where did the struggle take place?"
43765what are you about?"
43765what are you doing in there?"
43765you scoundrel, what are you doing?"
42905''As nobody been took up?
42905A queer world we live in, do we not, with a public that one moment is ready to tear a man to pieces, and the next to surfeit him with sweets? 42905 A trombone player?"
42905Am I sure?
42905And left yourself without a penny?
42905And you''aven''t?
42905And''ow am I to pay_ my_ rent, I should like to know, if you do n''t pay yours? 42905 Antony Cowlrick,"he thought,"have you been playing me a trick?"
42905Are you a London girl?
42905Are you alone?
42905Are you sure it is mice, Becky?
42905Can I be of any assistance to you?
42905Can I do nothing more for you?
42905Could you hear what the men said to each other?
42905Did he strike you?
42905Did n''t you find it?
42905Did neither of the men speak after that?
42905Did you?
42905Do I look older?
42905Do n''t know what?
42905Do n''t you hear?
42905Do these look like hands accustomed to hard work?
42905Do we not all live in charity with one another? 42905 Do you accuse me of the murder of that man?"
42905Do you believe in them, eh, Becky?
42905Do you know anything of him?
42905Do you think God will allow the guilty to escape, or that He needs the assistance of a lawyer to punish the man who sheds his brother''s blood?
42905Do you think the sounds are in that room?
42905Do_ you_ believe it, Becky?
42905Does_ she_ paint, then?
42905Eh?
42905Has she? 42905 Has the lawyer deputed you to watch me?"
42905Have I not more than enough? 42905 Have n''t the newspapers had enough of me?
42905Have you any objection,said Mr. Holdfast, when the young lady''s story was finished,"to my endeavouring to find the guardian who has wronged you?
42905Have you discovered that your first impressions are wrong, and, having done an injustice to an unfortunate man, are you anxious to atone for it?
42905How are you going to live? 42905 How can I repay you?"
42905How could she help knowing it when your name has been so prominent in the papers for weeks?
42905How did you know I wanted a servant?
42905How is it possible,she asked him,"that you could have heard any sound in the next house when there''s nobody there?"
42905How much do you expect?
42905How on earth did it happen?
42905I am a newspaper man, and should be glad if you can give me any information for my paper?
42905I did n''t close my eyes till past two this morning; too bad, eh, Becky?
42905I suppose you''aven''t come to pay your rent?
42905If you''aven''t come to pay your rent,demanded Mrs. Preedy,"what_''ave_ you come for?"
42905Information about what?
42905Is it much, Becky?
42905Is it not?
42905Is that the name you give?
42905Is there anything goin''on atween''i m and Becky?
42905Let me see,said our Reporter, pretending to consider,"how long has Blanche lived in the house?"
42905Mrs. Bailey,I said,"since the night of the murder you have not heard anything going on next door?"
42905Must I give it up?
42905My name? 42905 Now then,"says Policeman X, of the prostrate man, caught in the toils,"will you come quietly?"
42905Shall I not see you again?
42905She has not many friends, then?
42905That''s Mrs. Bailey''s bell,I said;"shall I go up to her, or will you?"
42905The room in which the murder was committed is on a level with this?
42905The young woman,said our Reporter, taking up the cue, and slipping sixpence into the woman''s hand--(when do our poor refuse alms?)
42905They did n''t get anything out of me, Becky,said the old lady;"I did n''t hear anything, Becky-- eh?
42905To pay? 42905 Two voices-- as if there was a quarrel going on-- a quarrel, Becky, eh?"
42905Warm- blooded May and cold- blooded December,say Mrs. Grundy and her family;"what can be expected?"
42905Well?
42905What are you crying for?
42905What are you going to do, Becky?
42905What did you do?
42905What did you say?
42905What do you say to Antony Cowlrick?
42905What is that to me?
42905What is the charge?
42905What kind of musician?
42905What kind of situation is he after? 42905 What made you leave the country?"
42905What should I know? 42905 What think you of me?"
42905What was it?
42905What was your motive?
42905What were you doing there?
42905What''s the number?
42905What''s up?
42905What?
42905Where did you live last?
42905Where do you live?
42905Who asked me,added our Reporter,"to pull the blue bell, and knock five times?"
42905Who''s been murdered?
42905Why do n''t yer go''ome?
42905Why not?
42905Why not?
42905Why, Becky,she exclaimed,"have_ you_ heard what they are saying about the house?"
42905Why, you nervous old creature, what else can it be? 42905 Why?"
42905Why?
42905Will yer pull the blue bell, and knock five times? 42905 Will you come quietly?"
42905Will you come quietly?
42905Will you have a glass of gin?
42905Will you lend me a sovereign?
42905With the money in it?
42905Would you, Becky? 42905 Yes, Becky, yes-- they would n''t come through brick walls to scare a poor old woman, eh?"
42905You appear to be interested in the man?
42905You lost it yesterday, then?
42905You promised to rub it for me?
42905You will not publish the address I am about to give you?
42905You''re a clever girl, Becky,said Mrs. Bailey,"a clever girl-- eh?
42905Your name?
42905_ I_ would n''t take it,said Mrs. Bailey,"if they offered it to me for nothing a- year-- eh?"
42905''As anythink been discovered?"
42905''Ave you seen''Drink?''
42905''Shall I pay these debts?''
42905''Tain''t a month ago since Bob the Swell comes and ses,"Fanny, wot do yer say to goin''and seein''''Drink''at the Princesses?
42905( To witness): Did the spirit you heard playing come out of a bottle?

42905118, Great Porter Square?
42905119?
42905And I''m a clever old woman-- eh?
42905And about what?
42905And as I said"or the piano?"
42905And instantly took the heart out of her defiance by crying, in an appealing tone:"Do you want to ruin me?"
42905And what right had I to do anything but try and make peace between my husband and my husband''s son?
42905Antony Cowlrick took to his heels: what more conclusive evidence than that he was the murderer did murderer ever give?
42905Are yer makin''game of me?
42905Are you afraid to be left alone?"
42905At my foot?
42905Bailey?"
42905Before the night of the prisoner''s arrest had you ever seen him?
42905Before the night of the prisoner''s arrest had you ever seen him?
42905But is it certain that it is his true name?
42905But we can never tell, can we, what is going to happen to us?
42905But who was murdered, and where was the murderer?
42905But why does your mother make you fall asleep on purpose in front of the National Gallery?
42905By what strange roads, then, had so fair a commencement been conducted to so foul and tragic an end?
42905Can you tell me that, young man?"
42905Could she not bring the son to a true sense of his shameful and unmanly conduct?
42905Could she not in some way avoid the exposure?
42905Did he expect to find rings there which he could convert into money?
42905Did the scream proceed from a man or a woman?
42905Did the young man expect to find me out, or asleep?
42905Do you believe in it now?"
42905Do you feel easier?"
42905Do you hear it now?"
42905Do you know anything against him now?
42905Do you know him?
42905Do you mean your tenant on the second floor?
42905Do you see this paper?
42905Do you swear positively that you have lost it?
42905Do you think I shall be debarred by fear of ghosts?
42905Do you wish to make me believe that you do not understand my character?"
42905Fanny( laughing): Wot am I?
42905Fanny: Do n''t yer see?
42905Fanny: Does she miss a chance?
42905Fanny: Wot''s the matter?
42905For, if not guilty of the murder, why should the man resist?
42905From Mr. Holdfast?
42905Had you ever seen him before that night?
42905Had you ever seen him before that night?
42905Have you a trade?"
42905Have you not been patient?
42905Have you pencil and paper?
42905Have you really any objection to letting me hear the story of these bonds?"
42905Have you the letter with you?
42905Have you?"
42905How could she undeceive the fond father?
42905How many undiscovered murders have been committed in the last twelve months?
42905How much?
42905How shall I tell you what happened?
42905How, do you think?
42905I had to wait a little while before my knock was answered, and then I heard, in a woman''s voice,"Who''s there?"
42905I locked her in and went---- Where?
42905I say-- ain''t it splendid, the Embankment?
42905I told them as much as I heard-- nothing-- eh, Becky?"
42905I wos allus a lady''s man, wosn''t I, Fan?"
42905In Trafalgar Square, where the fountains are?
42905In my room?
42905In the next to this?
42905In the passage appear you, and ask me what?
42905In this house?
42905Is he anything at all?"
42905Is he mad-- or worse?
42905Is it wrong to be fond of parties and dancing?
42905Is not my introduction a sufficient guarantee?"
42905Is there anything goin''on atween''i m and Becky?"
42905It is an important quality in animals; why not in human beings?
42905It is important we should know whether it was a man''s or a woman''s voice you heard?
42905Magistrate: Have you been instructed?
42905Magistrate: Is that a poetical image, Mr. Lush?
42905Magistrate: The witness has the bottle- imp in her mind, perhaps?
42905Magistrate: With your universal key-- the poker?
42905Mice ca n''t eat ghosts-- eh?"
42905Mr. Goldberry: Before you helped to arrest the prisoner in Great Porter Square, had you ever seen him before?
42905Mr. Goldberry: Do you know anything of him at the present moment?
42905Mr. Goldberry: Do you know anything of him, in his favour or against him, at this present moment?
42905Mr. Goldberry: Have you ever seen him in Great Porter Square?
42905Mr. White Lush: And this is all you know of the murder?
42905Mr. White Lush: Are you standing on your head or your heels at the present moment?
42905Mr. White Lush: Are you sure it did not last for a longer time-- or a shorter?
42905Mr. White Lush: At what time did you return to your house?
42905Mr. White Lush: But a little drop now and then, eh, Mrs. Preedy?
42905Mr. White Lush: Concerning what?
42905Mr. White Lush: Did he speak to you?
42905Mr. White Lush: Did you flop on your head or your heels?
42905Mr. White Lush: Did you help yourself?
42905Mr. White Lush: Did you open his trunk?
42905Mr. White Lush: Did you smell sulphur?
42905Mr. White Lush: Do you remember the night of the 9th of last month?
42905Mr. White Lush: For about how long will one of these tallow dips burn?
42905Mr. White Lush: For how long a time did the music continue?
42905Mr. White Lush: For how long did you doze?
42905Mr. White Lush: From what direction?
42905Mr. White Lush: How and at what time did you become aware that your lodgers had run away?
42905Mr. White Lush: How did it happen?
42905Mr. White Lush: How did you open it?
42905Mr. White Lush: How long have you occupied your house?
42905Mr. White Lush: Is that really the only answer you can give?
42905Mr. White Lush: Nothing else?
42905Mr. White Lush: Now, what were the contents of the letter?
42905Mr. White Lush: Or a child?
42905Mr. White Lush: Or for only a minute?
42905Mr. White Lush: Out of a bottle?
42905Mr. White Lush: That circumstance fixes the night in your mind?
42905Mr. White Lush: That is to say you heard a man or woman playing the piano?
42905Mr. White Lush: That trunk, surely, was not also full of bricks?
42905Mr. White Lush: The music might have lasted for half- an- hour?
42905Mr. White Lush: The night was Wednesday?
42905Mr. White Lush: Then what were you frightened at?
42905Mr. White Lush: Then your presumption is that the letter is burnt?
42905Mr. White Lush: To tell her of your misfortunes?
42905Mr. White Lush: Was any person in the kitchen when you left it?
42905Mr. White Lush: Was it a loud scream?
42905Mr. White Lush: Was it a whole candle?
42905Mr. White Lush: Was it locked?
42905Mr. White Lush: Was the candle you left burning on your kitchen table when you fell into a doze alight when you awoke?
42905Mr. White Lush: Was there a candle alight in the kitchen when you fell asleep?
42905Mr. White Lush: What did you discover?
42905Mr. White Lush: What did you do then?
42905Mr. White Lush: What did you do then?
42905Mr. White Lush: What did you do when the music stopped?
42905Mr. White Lush: What did you find in it?
42905Mr. White Lush: What do you mean by that?
42905Mr. White Lush: What do you say to a cat?
42905Mr. White Lush: What followed?
42905Mr. White Lush: What instrument was being played upon?
42905Mr. White Lush: What kind of a house is yours?
42905Mr. White Lush: What kind of candles do you burn in your kitchen?
42905Mr. White Lush: What occurred then?
42905Mr. White Lush: What reason?
42905Mr. White Lush: When the music stopped, what occurred?
42905Mr. White Lush: When you awoke, was it a natural awaking, or were you suddenly aroused?
42905Mr. White Lush: Why could n''t you tell me?
42905Mr. White Lush: You are a widow?
42905Mr. White Lush: You believe in spirits?
42905Mr. White Lush: You have searched for it since?
42905Mr. White Lush: You heard a scream proceeding from 119, the house in which the murder was committed?
42905Mr. White Lush: You keep a lodging- house?
42905Mr. White Lush: You saw no strangers prowling about?
42905Mr. White Lush: You stick to the spirit, then?
42905Mr. White Lush: You swear that you know nothing of it whatever?
42905Mr. White Lush: You were frightened by something?
42905Mr. White Lush: Your name is Anna Maria Preedy?
42905No?
42905Nothing for them to eat, Becky-- eh?
42905Now, how stands the case at the present moment?
42905Now, who spread this rumour about our house being haunted?
42905Now, would the suspected man pass the house, or would he linger near it?
42905Of course, your question will be,"How on earth do you know that he paints his face?"
42905On the occasion we are speaking of, you heard a scream?
42905One said,''You wo n''t, wo n''t you?''
42905Our Reporter( very much puzzled): Some what?
42905Our Reporter: About three months?
42905Our Reporter: Altogether, Fanny, your life is not a rosy one?
42905Our Reporter: And no one comes to see her?
42905Our Reporter: Blanche is not your mother?
42905Our Reporter: Do you go to school?
42905Our Reporter: Does she beat you?
42905Our Reporter: Does she work?
42905Our Reporter: Have you known her long, Fanny?
42905Our Reporter: Is she your aunt or your cousin?
42905Our Reporter: Is your mother near you all the while, Fanny, that she comes and takes the money from you?
42905Our Reporter: She is good to you?
42905Our Reporter: Sugar every night?
42905Our Reporter: What are you?
42905Our Reporter: What do you do?
42905Our Reporter: Where does she live?
42905Our Reporter: Why do you fall asleep there?
42905Our Reporter: You do n''t drink, I hope?
42905Preedy?"
42905Pretty, ai n''t she?"
42905Prime-- ain''t it?
42905Shall I tell you something else about him?
42905Shall I tell you who is the cause of all this?
42905She ai n''t nothink to me but a---- a---- Our Reporter( prompting, seeing that Fanny was in a difficulty): Friend?
42905So I should-- eh?"
42905So you have larks with the boys?
42905Somebody pushed agin me-- Mr. White Lush: Yes?
42905That is what you are asking yourself?
42905That the man was playing a part?
42905That your second floorer had run away?
42905Then suddenly,"Becky, can you keep a secret-- eh?"
42905Then you have a mother?
42905There are so many poor people in the world, and they are comparatively so unimportant?
42905There were other circumstances, independent of the running away of your lodgers, which serve to fix that night in your mind?
42905Upstairs or down?
42905Was not that a sign of perfect reconciliation, and had I not every reason to be happy?
42905Was there anybody or anything in the room besides yourself?
42905Were they men''s voices?"
42905Were your drawing rooms and your second floorer on terms of intimacy?
42905What are rich fathers good for in this world if they send their sons to college and keep their pockets buttoned?
42905What did I want?
42905What did it denote?
42905What do real, genuine foreigners know of English maids- of- all- work?
42905What had he heard?
42905What had roused her?
42905What has Mr. Goldberry to say?
42905What have I been doing since you went away?
42905What is the position of the Great Porter Square mystery?
42905What leads me to this conclusion?
42905What man?
42905What motive?
42905What other man in the world would have borne what you have borne with such fortitude and courage?
42905What possible motive_ can_ Richard Manx have in spreading such a report?
42905What secret lies concealed in his brain?
42905What was his purpose in endeavouring to deceive Mrs. Preedy?
42905What was the meaning of this sudden change?
42905What will you ask now?
42905What, now, was our Reporter to do?
42905Where did I leave off in my letter?
42905Where do you intend to sleep to- night?"
42905Where, after that?
42905Where?
42905Which direction would he take?
42905Who are yer?
42905Who can say?
42905Who shall it be?
42905Who should answer but the prisoner himself?
42905Who should know better than those that live in a house whether it''s haunted or not?"
42905Who should know better than us?
42905Who would go downstairs to corroborate it?
42905Who?"
42905Why linger in the dark, when, with one bold plunge, you can walk through enchanted streets?
42905Why should I pry into a young man''s secrets?
42905Why should not Frederick do the same-- why should he not reform, and become a Judge or a Member of Parliament?
42905Why should not our Reporter himself read the message to little Fanny, and why should he not look on the mantelshelf?
42905Will you lend it me now?"
42905Witness: I''m none the worse for that, I suppose?
42905Witness: It were to inform me that the droring- rooms had bolted---- Magistrate: Bolted?
42905Witness: The way the perlice''as been naggin''at me for that letter---- Mr. White Lush: Have you the letter with you?
42905Wot else does it say?
42905Would you-- eh?"
42905Yer do n''t mean to say that it''s''i m you''ve come to inquire for at a respectable''ouse?"
42905You are the gentleman who defended me?"
42905You are what they call insured?"
42905You do n''t want to''urt''er, do you?
42905You heard a man, or a woman, or a child, playing the piano?
42905You keep a lodging- house?
42905You possess the usual number of senses, I suppose?
42905You say that you heard the sound of a piano?
42905You will keep your promise-- for three days you will not write about me?"
42905You would be sorry if she went away from you?
42905You would find no difficulty in replying to such a question if it were to tell against the prisoner instead of in his favour?
42905Your hearing is good?
40434A foreigner, then?
40434A foreigner?
40434A little mysterious, eh?
40434After the affair of the jeweller, Benoy-- eh? 40434 And all that jewellery?
40434And also once at Boscombe-- eh?
40434And because of it was apparently done to death, eh?
40434And because of that you fear to hold aloof and defy him?
40434And can you tell me nothing further regarding this affair?
40434And have you a photograph of the girl?
40434And he is often experimenting?
40434And he is your uncle?
40434And if I do?
40434And not the first, sir, eh?
40434And that young fellow, Craig? 40434 And the lady?"
40434And the maid?
40434And the other stuff you have stolen?
40434And the wireless is sometimes used for their nefarious purposes, I suppose?
40434And what about Jeanjean?
40434And what were the columns of figures?
40434And you have come to England to see me-- eh? 40434 And you will arrest them?"
40434And you will not tell me the master''s real name?
40434And, I suppose, you are still doing so?
40434And, did you find next day that the beds had been slept in?
40434And, where was the deceased then?
40434Any dissentients?
40434Any signs of violence?
40434Anybody else?
40434Anything else?
40434Anything interesting, sir?
40434Are we not friends?
40434At night, eh?
40434Briefly put, then, you consider that the deceased was the victim of foul play?
40434But could not any foreigner come into Cromer to fetch a lady friend?
40434But did n''t she say she''d call back?
40434But did you not receive my warnings? 40434 But is the young lady alive now?"
40434But it ca n''t be true? 40434 But surely there must be some craft on which we could follow?"
40434But tell me,I added,"have you ever seen his niece here visiting him?"
40434But the men in the house were friends of yours, were they not?
40434But think-- what would then become of me?
40434But was not a lady found in the same room?
40434But what is the latest information you have regarding him?
40434But what were they plotting?
40434But where is Craig, the young nephew of the dead man?
40434But who could have known of the existence of the jewellery, here?
40434But who tried to kill you, sir?
40434But why, M''sieur, do you wish to see the Comte?
40434But you saw the men?
40434But you say that the young French lady is still there?
40434But you say the incident happened close to Beacon House, where old Gregory lived-- eh?
40434But you were mistaken, eh?
40434But, have I not always been frank?
40434But, who''d have thought that the fellow could have come straight for me, and rendered me insensible in a tick-- as he did?
40434But, why?
40434By you?
40434Can I gif him any message?
40434Can he transmit messages?
40434Can not you explain it to me?
40434Did Craig or Gregory ever go to that house while our friend has been there?
40434Did Mr. Gregory have many visitors?
40434Did n''t she leave me any message?
40434Did n''t you discover what craft it was making the signals?
40434Did n''t you meet him?
40434Did the papers say much about it?
40434Did they use the wireless apparatus on board?
40434Did you afterwards read of the affair in the papers?
40434Did you ever see him meet anybody on his nightly rambles?
40434Did you see much of Lola after the affair at Cromer?
40434Did you see the other men?
40434Did you take the number?
40434Do you know the circumstances in which she was struck down?
40434Do you notice the clenched hands? 40434 Do you recollect that funny case at Pegli, just outside Genoa?
40434Do?
40434Does H. know anything, do you think?
40434Does he say he could recognize the cyclist again?
40434Does she come alone?
40434During the night you heard nobody leave your house?
40434Eh? 40434 Especially as I love you, Lola, eh?"
40434Especially as-- what?
40434Even though it costs you your life?
40434Forced against your will, Lola, eh?
40434From where?
40434Had they quarrelled?
40434Has he been there often?
40434Has he had any visitors?
40434Has he many callers?
40434Has she told him anything? 40434 Have you ever seen him before?"
40434Have you found any trace of the thieves?
40434Have you made inquiry of Scotland Yard?
40434Have you since seen the same man anywhere else?
40434He intends foul play-- eh?
40434He saw them together-- eh?
40434How can I tell?
40434How can we?
40434How did you know he was alive?
40434How do you know, my dear fellow?
40434How do you know? 40434 How often did he come?"
40434How was it that Jeanjean arrived there also?
40434How?
40434How?
40434I believe you have not seen the elder gentleman since the tragic evening of his nephew''s death?
40434I suppose it was one of his eccentricities to carry them with him? 40434 I take it that you discovered no mark?"
40434I wonder to what it alludes?
40434I wonder what all these sums can mean?
40434I wonder what caused her such sudden fear?
40434I wonder,I said to him,"if you would allow me to take this shoe along to the hotel?
40434I''d like to ask, sir,said the fat butcher,"whether this Mr. Gregory was not a very eccentric and extraordinary man?"
40434If so, why was he found several feet away from the seat?
40434If the dead man was not Edward Craig, then, who was he?
40434In London?
40434In a code?
40434In which direction did your uncle travel?
40434Is Mr. Gregory Vernon in?
40434Is Mr. Vernon in here?
40434Is he French?
40434Is he here?
40434Is he often here?
40434Is he young or old?
40434Is that the actual truth, M''sieur?
40434Is the hotel detective about?
40434It is true, Lola, that you live, like your friends, by dishonest methods, but have you not been forced into it by your uncle? 40434 It''s for blinding dogs-- eh?"
40434It''s hardly long enough for you, is it?
40434Jules? 40434 May I look at them later?"
40434Mr. Vernon-- the gentleman in this room, sir?
40434My dear Mr. Vidal, what is the use if half Cromer has been up here prying about?
40434No one came out?
40434Nobody passed you?
40434Not Gregory''s?
40434Not even with his nephew?
40434Nothing very terrible, I hope?
40434Oh, Mr. Vernon, you mean, sir? 40434 Oh, shall I?"
40434Oh, what''s that?
40434Perhaps you could subscribe a trifle yourself, if only one shilling?
40434Quite a character for a novel-- eh?
40434Read it? 40434 She is not quite positive, eh?"
40434Tell me, Lola,I asked, after complimenting her upon her astuteness,"do you recognize the names of Lavelle, Kunzle, Geering, or Hodrickx?"
40434That is your verdict, eh? 40434 That''s the only time you''ve seen him with any companion on these secret night outings?"
40434That-- what?
40434The lady the taxi- man told me about?
40434The man who rode the motor- cycle?
40434The old fellow struck you as a bit of a mystery, did n''t he?
40434The spot''where the three C''s meet''at Ealing is the usual rendezvous, I suppose?
40434Then he is not the prime mover of all these ingenious thefts?
40434Then that old man was a humbugging impostor-- eh?
40434Then the jewels found in Gregory''s rooms at Cromer were all stolen property?
40434Then to what do you attribute death?
40434Then you do n''t know what became of the three men?
40434Then you do not believe this girl is really a criminal from instinct?
40434Then you do not think death was due to natural causes?
40434Then you object, Mademoiselle, eh?
40434Then you suggest that we had better go by this?
40434Then you suspect foul play, eh?
40434Then, that''s all you know?
40434Then, what do you intend doing with me?
40434Then, who were they?
40434There is danger-- eh? 40434 They are associates of your uncle, are they not-- in fact, members of the gang?"
40434To the house where he afterwards lodged?
40434To whom?
40434Unless I act swiftly-- eh?
40434Unwell?
40434Was Mr. Craig there?
40434Was anybody in it?
40434Was he quite idle?
40434Was she a friend of yours, sir?
40434Was she brought here, with me?
40434Was the lady alive?
40434Well Treeton,said the Inspector briskly,"what''s all the fuss about down here?"
40434Well, Mr. Vidal, we''ve not yet established that it is a case of murder, have we?
40434Well, and why did you not call again upon me in Cromer?
40434Well, what is it?
40434Well, what then?
40434Well,I asked,"anything fresh?"
40434Well-- then you suspect the motor- cyclist and the woman?
40434Well?
40434Well?
40434Went out? 40434 What brought you here?"
40434What can we do?
40434What crime is alleged against the men?
40434What did you do then?
40434What did you do then?
40434What did you tell the police?
40434What do you think of these?
40434What does it all mean?
40434What does the doctor do with himself all day?
40434What has she told him?
40434What has she told you?
40434What have you in that bag?
40434What is he? 40434 What is his name?"
40434What is the curious feature, then?
40434What is the use?
40434What is there to tell you?
40434What was her name?
40434What was the use, M''sieu''Vidal? 40434 What''s the trouble, sir?"
40434What, to that quiet old man is due the conception of all these great and daring robberies committed by Jules Jeanjean?
40434What?
40434What?
40434What?
40434What?
40434When he dropped in to chat with you at the coastguard station, did he show any inquisitiveness?
40434When is she coming back?
40434Where am I, Nurse?
40434Where is Gregory now, I wonder?
40434Where is Vernon?
40434Where is he?
40434Where is he?
40434Where is the body?
40434Where to?
40434Where was your starting- point?
40434Who aided him?
40434Who is he?
40434Who knows? 40434 Who knows?
40434Who knows?
40434Who lives there?
40434Who said they were my friends?
40434Who, then, is the dead man?
40434Who?
40434Why did you leave so quickly?
40434Why did you leave your shoe behind?
40434Why did you not write?
40434Why did your uncle come to Cromer?
40434Why do you think so?
40434Why have you been in Algiers-- and in August, too?
40434Why not?
40434Why on earth, Treeton, did you let them swarm over there?
40434Why, I wonder? 40434 Why, what''s the matter?"
40434Why, what''s this at the bottom?
40434Why? 40434 Why?"
40434Why?
40434Why?
40434Why?
40434Why?
40434Why?
40434Will you do a favour for me, Stevens?
40434Will you let me put these pearls back?
40434Will you not do this for my sake?
40434Will you step outside? 40434 Will you-- will you close the door, M''sieur?"
40434With your uncle?
40434Wo n''t you prosecute your examination further?
40434Yes, but why did Craig go out disguised as the old man-- that''s the question?
40434Yes,I remarked reflectively,"I wonder for what purpose that lamp was used?"
40434You are apprehensive on my account?
40434You do n''t know if he sent any messages-- eh?
40434You do not suspect poison, I take it?
40434You feel better now, do n''t you, Rayner?
40434You know him-- eh?
40434You know that?
40434You know what to do to- night, Rayner?
40434You know, of course, what happened?
40434You made no arrest, did you?
40434You merely want to know what''s doing-- eh?
40434You saw nobody about?
40434You see this mark in the grass?
40434You were near when he entered?
40434You''ll do a book about this strange affair-- what?
40434You''ll send it round to me, at the station, afterwards?
40434You''re sure he is up in his room?
40434''What are you doing here?''
40434All the same, his tone was somewhat dubious as he added cautiously,"You wo n''t, of course, give anything to the Press?"
40434And the young lady is actually in the next room with the''dead''man Craig?"
40434And what was the secret?
40434And where was Gregory?
40434And yet, who was the man who so suddenly lost his life while masquerading in the clothes of old Gregory Vernon?
40434And, then?
40434Arendt is a rather suspicious character, is n''t he, sir?"
40434As long as we solve a mystery we do n''t regret the peril, or the adventure, do we?"
40434Aye, what indeed?
40434Aye, what, indeed?
40434Besides, are we not looking for a woman?"
40434But do you know who that man was?"
40434But for what reason did you follow them?"
40434But how did you discover their true names?"
40434But how?"
40434But there''ll be no harm in watching the trains, will there?"
40434But what could that man''s presence mean in that little East Coast town?
40434But where was old Gregory?
40434But who was he?
40434But who was the man who had met with such a mysterious death and had been buried as"Mr. Gregory''s nephew?"
40434But would she return?
40434But, would he leave that splendid treasure of his behind?
40434Ca n''t you give any description of the people you saw here?"
40434Can I do anything?"
40434Could I not easily have sent a telegram to the Prefecture of Police in Paris, when I recognized him in Cromer?
40434Could it have been that she had discovered any one else watching the house?
40434Deeply in earnest, she was persuading me, with all the arts of which she, as a woman, was capable to give up the investigation-- why?
40434Did he suspect?
40434Did n''t you?"
40434Did she give her name?"
40434Did"H."indicate Monsieur Hamard, the Chef de la Sûreté?
40434Do n''t you remember?"
40434Do you all promise?"
40434Do you happen to know the place?"
40434Do you remember our confidential talks when we strolled together in the Bois-- when you told me all your troubles, and your fears?"
40434Do you think he killed his nephew?"
40434Do you think that its presence there gives any clue to the assassin?"
40434Do you want him?"
40434Do you?"
40434Does H. know anything, do you think?
40434Got your revolver?"
40434Gregory?"
40434Gregory?"
40434Had I fallen in love with her?
40434Had I not, from the first, marvelled that old Mr. Gregory should disappear and leave behind him that collection of valuables?
40434Had ever man met with a similar experience?
40434Had he met his friend in Ealing and taken him there in order to place before him certain plans for the future?
40434Had he recognized me when we met?
40434Had her sudden departure been due to the theft at Beacon House?
40434Had it been dragged to that spot in the grass?
40434Had it really been lost-- or had it been placed there in order to mystify and mislead the police?
40434Had she been present then and lost her shoe?
40434Has the girl betrayed us?"
40434Have you any idea?"
40434Have you got one?"
40434Have you looked for footprints?"
40434Have you seen reports of it in the English papers?"
40434He paused and, turning to the girl, said,"Now, Lola, will you explain what happened?"
40434Hot job, ai n''t it?"
40434How came it in that old sea- chest, and in the possession of the man who was now exposed as an impostor?
40434How can I act-- how can I escape them?
40434How could I have been mistaken in his identity?
40434How much, I wondered, had she revealed to this man who was believed to have been buried?
40434How would you, my reader, have felt in similar circumstances?
40434I beg of you?"
40434I ca n''t think what he went out for, but I suppose he was a little bit eccentric, eh?
40434I hope you''re all right again, sir?"
40434I remarked that I had walked to Overstrand, whereupon he asked--"Did you chance to meet my uncle?
40434I smiled and said,''Oh, so you do n''t now suspect me of being a thief?''
40434I suppose it has puzzled the local police-- eh?"
40434I tore it open and read the words--"Can you meet me at the_ Maid''s Head Hotel_, Norwich, this afternoon at four?
40434I wonder what he fancied he saw there?"
40434I wonder what it means?"
40434I wonder where that can be?
40434I''ll read it, shall I?"
40434If I could but see her?
40434If he were not implicated in the crime, why had he absconded?
40434If not, why did the Hebrew come out so boldly and ask you to search?"
40434In fact, I''ve wondered ever since, whether that answering signal I saw did not come from one of the front windows of Beacon House?
40434In making our examination, do you know we''ve discovered a most amazing fact?"
40434Is not that so?"
40434Is that what you all agree?"
40434M''sieu'', how can I bear the future?
40434Now, what shall we do?"
40434Of course, he was polite to me, for was I not the friend of the Chief Constable?
40434Only they must be wealthy-- eh?"
40434Or should I keep my knowledge to myself, and watch in patience?
40434Or, had he crawled there in his death agony?
40434Rather good- looking, is n''t she?"
40434See that fair- bearded chap over there?"
40434See?"
40434Should I dash back, overtake him and claim acquaintance?
40434Should I drive at once to Scotland Yard and lay the whole affair before them, or should I still keep my counsel until I rediscovered Lola?
40434Sladen?"
40434Sladen?"
40434Some of them I sewed into the hem of my travelling- coat, and, and----""Stones they were, I suppose?"
40434Some relic of his sweetheart, eh?"
40434That being so, how was it that his body was found several feet away?
40434The constable disappeared, and turning to Rayner, I said:"I wonder why Treeton wishes to see me in such a hurry?
40434The night was warm and pleasant, a calm and perfect night on the North Sea----""Were you near him?"
40434Then he asked--"Did you know the lady who was found stabbed a few feet from you?"
40434Then turning to Lola, he asked--"Do you identify this man as Jules Jeanjean, Mademoiselle?"
40434Then turning to Rayner, he said:"Will you go and get two taxis?
40434Then turning to me he exclaimed,"Say, I wonder where they''re making for?"
40434Then we shall know something definite?"
40434Then, after a brief pause, during which I again looked straight into her great blue eyes, I suddenly asked--"Where can I find trace of old Gregory?
40434There''s nothing really wrong-- eh?"
40434Therefore, why should he conspire to take my life?
40434They evidently got it ready for the young lady-- eh?"
40434They seem to be a bit of a puzzle, do n''t they?
40434They were foreigners-- eh?"
40434This is a very curious case, is n''t it?
40434Understand?"
40434Vidal?"
40434Was I not right to strike her down?"
40434Was another great robbery being planned?
40434Was ever there incident such as this, I wondered?
40434Was he not identified as Craig and buried as him?"
40434Was he one of those keeping the long- arranged appointment?
40434Was he suspicious of the truth concerning the actual identity of the wealthy Belgian financier who dabbled in wireless?
40434Was it Lola?
40434Was it her shoe that had been found at Beacon House?
40434Was it possible that a woman-- the same woman-- had assisted in the burglary, and had inadvertently lost her shoe?
40434Was it really because she feared that her uncle might attempt to rid himself of me, or had she some other hidden motive?
40434Was it the man for whom I was watching?
40434Was it the print of her foot that I had found near that fatal seat?
40434Was it, indeed, any wonder?
40434Was old Gregory an intruder there?
40434Was she deceiving me?
40434Was that lonely house his place of abode?
40434Was that the spot indicated?
40434Was the place, I wondered, one of old Gregory''s hiding- places?
40434We ought to have no great difficulty in discovering the original-- eh, Treeton-- if we find it necessary?"
40434Were either of the pair responsible for Edward Craig''s death?
40434Were rumours already afloat, I wondered?
40434Were they incriminating?
40434What a bit of luck, was n''t it, that Mrs. Dean kept the picture she found in the waste- paper basket?"
40434What could I do?
40434What could it all mean?
40434What could it mean?
40434What could it mean?
40434What do you know of them?"
40434What does"Party"mean?
40434What evil was now intended?
40434What facts did Lola actually know?
40434What had Rayner done, I wondered?
40434What had become of him?
40434What has happened now?"
40434What have you discovered?"
40434What if the constable were to try the jeweller''s door as he passed?
40434What is the meaning of this visit-- eh?"
40434What was his business in Cromer?
40434What was it?
40434What will happen now?
40434What will you do now, Treeton?"
40434What would they say at the Prefecture of Police in Paris, when I related to them the strange story of Jeanjean''s exploits in England?
40434What"C''s"were meant?
40434What''s your theory-- eh?"
40434What, I wondered, was the nature of the consultation going on within?
40434What?"
40434When was she here last?"
40434Where are you?"
40434Where could she be, that she had not answered my urgent letters sent to the Poste Restante at Versailles?
40434Where have you been?
40434Where should I be now?
40434Where was Lola?
40434Where was he?
40434Where were you at that time?"
40434Who could have been the actual victim?
40434Who is he?"
40434Who was B. X., I wondered?
40434Who was his Master?
40434Who was the murderer?
40434Who was the writer, Egisto?
40434Who, then, was the man who was killed?"
40434Why had I not telegraphed to the Paris police on discovering Jeanjean''s presence in Cromer?
40434Why had she called, after all that had passed between us?
40434Why is he watching you?
40434Why should he reveal all his private grievances to me, a perfect stranger?
40434Why should the young man go forth at night, under cover of darkness, made up to exactly resemble the old one?"
40434Why take such a step against an innocent man?"
40434Why was he wearing those clothes, I wonder?"
40434Why, I wondered, was she so frantically anxious for me to abandon the inquiry?
40434Why, too, had he so suddenly disappeared?
40434Why?
40434Why?
40434Why?
40434Why?
40434Why?"
40434Will you tell me?"
40434Will you?"
40434Wireless telegraphy is wonderful, is it not?"
40434Would Lola return to see me?
40434Would he love a girl like myself-- a girl who has been brought by you, and your friends, to what I am?"
40434Would he return, or had he left the neighbourhood?
40434Would she ever return?
40434Yet, if he were not guilty of Craig''s murder, why had he fled?
40434Yet, was it surprising?
40434You are here to explain-- eh?
40434You know what the ammonia and rubber ball are for, eh?"
40434You saw him?"
40434that was rather disconcerting, eh, Rayner?"
42014''Well, Ma,''he says, turning to me,''what d''s''pose we''ve got here?'' 42014 After lunch can we get out the guns, Dan?"
42014Ai n''t she a wet blanket?
42014And the girls?
42014And your grandson, mother?
42014Are congratulations in order?
42014Are n''t these little bedrooms the cunningest?
42014Are n''t_ you_ also glad for me, Dan?
42014Are they trying to tease us?
42014Are you rested enough now to start down? 42014 Birthdays ought to be all gold and blue, had n''t they ought to be, Janey?"
42014Brother,the manner in which she interrupted the conversation was almost rude,"is n''t that the stage returning?
42014But Dan has n''t a gun, has he?
42014But I''d like to have a little cub, would n''t you, Julie, to fetch up for a pet?
42014But how are we to get them?
42014But how could he?
42014But how?
42014But was n''t your Aunt Belle terribly disappointed?
42014But what could it mean? 42014 But where are the houses?
42014But where are we going?
42014Could n''t they stay until we return East next month?
42014Dad,he said,"do n''t you need me here?"
42014Dan, do you suppose Jane would mind if I went home this afternoon? 42014 Dan, what do you mean?"
42014Dan,he said,"may I speak with you a moment?"
42014Dan,she said in a low voice,"Jane does n''t know a thing about your long illness, does she?
42014Dan,she said,"Julie and Jane are n''t much alike, are they?
42014Dan,she said,"wo n''t you share your secret with me?"
42014Dear girl, would n''t you rather have our father honest than rich?
42014Dear,she said very softly,"you are n''t feeling well, are you?
42014Dear,she said, slipping an arm about her friend,"you are regretting having taken my advice, are n''t you?"
42014Did she say anything about havin''seen that skulkin''Ute? 42014 Did you say that we are to go next Sunday?"
42014Did you three see a bear? 42014 Do n''t you remember that the terrible overseer from the Packard ranch is coming to take dinner with you today?
42014Do n''t you think maybe we''d better keep that door closed when we''re eating?
42014Do n''t you want to come with me to the hospital?
42014Do you know where he hails from?
42014Do you think it will, Mr. Packard? 42014 Do you''spect it''s the Utes?"
42014Gee, sis,Gerald blurted out,"you do n''t like the West much, do you?
42014Have n''t you any more patients?
42014Have you a message from our father?
42014Have you news to tell us?
42014He loves mountain people, does n''t he?
42014He''s a nice man, is n''t he, Dan?
42014How can he be a neighbor if he lives fifteen miles away?
42014How did you happen to learn how to cook?
42014How do you do, Julie and Gerald?
42014I have not been lovable, and so why should I expect to be loved?
42014I wonder what they have seen?
42014I''m awful hungry; are n''t you, Gerry?
42014If we went to Redfords by the stage, how are we to get to the Packard ranch? 42014 If what, Dan?"
42014If you never come back? 42014 Is Jean Sawyer coming?"
42014Is he overseer of this cattle ranch?
42014Is it quite safe for them out there alone?
42014Is the rim- rock on the other side of our brook?
42014Is this wretched log cabin place the only hotel?
42014It does n''t look as though genius could be awakened here, does it?
42014It is n''t safe under trees, is it?
42014It''s a little beauty, ain''t-- I mean, is n''t it?
42014Jane, dear, what has happened? 42014 Jane, do you mind riding back with me?"
42014Julie, what is it, dear? 42014 Julie, will you see if Jane is awake?"
42014Kinnikinick?
42014Let us wait until morning and start at sunrise, shall we?
42014Let''s make it a double wedding, Jane, ca n''t we?
42014Love them?
42014Marion Starr,he cried,"you wrote my father, did you not, telling him where you found me?"
42014May I go get it, Dan? 42014 May I take the field glasses?
42014Maybe, when it grew up, it would forget it was a pet bear, and maybe you''d get it cornered, and then what would you do?
42014Meg,he said,"does n''t that alone prove that we are perfect comrades?
42014Miss Heger,he cried, and his voice was tense with emotion,"how can I, how are we ever going to thank you for what you have done for us today?"
42014Now,he said, as he put the key in the lock,"what do you suppose we''ll find on the other side of this door?"
42014Of course, Gerry would n''t,the old lady replied emphatically,"for is n''t he your son, Daniel?"
42014Oh, Dad, may I go?
42014Oh, Danny,she suddenly exclaimed,"could n''t there be something terrible hiding in that crack?"
42014Oh, Gerry,she said,"what if a bear should come again?
42014Oh, Mr. Heger,she cried,"what do you suppose has happened to them?
42014Oh, are n''t we having fun?
42014Oh, are n''t you afraid a bear will devour you in the night?
42014Oh, look- it, will you, Dan? 42014 Oh, look- it, will you?"
42014Oh, what shall I do? 42014 Oh, would n''t they stain my hands terribly?"
42014Ohee, is n''t this the jolliest? 42014 Only?"
42014Say, Dan, there is a sort of mystery about that trapper''s daughter, is n''t there? 42014 Say, girls,"he began,"we ca n''t make it home tonight, can we?
42014Sis, dear,he implored,"try to be brave, wo n''t you?
42014Suppose we let Gerald practice today, and later, when you feel that you would like to try again, you may do so?
42014Tell me, what do you mean?
42014That was sort of an adventure, was n''t it?
42014That''s splendid, Jane, is n''t it?
42014Then the lost vein may still be here, who knows?
42014Then why should you care whether or not I teach the Redford school?
42014Then why was I not informed? 42014 There is going to be a wonderful moon tonight,"Mr. Packard said,"Why do n''t you young people climb the foothill trail and watch it rise?"
42014There''s two things we''ve wished for lately that do n''t happen, are n''t there, Danny?
42014Was it?
42014Was n''t it a bear, or a wildcat, or anything?
42014Was there ever a tree that lived a thousand years?
42014Well, sonny, what kind of an adventure would you prefer?
42014What are those great bundles that are hanging up there?
42014What are you doing, kiddies, copying the entire menu?
42014What boy does not?
42014What boy likes me better than he does you?
42014What can_ that_ mean?
42014What did it mean? 42014 What do you say to that?"
42014What do you suppose he''s watching for?
42014What do you wish, Dan?
42014What do you''spect it will be?
42014What does Gerry mean, Janey?
42014What does she mean?
42014What if our cabin should slide right off this shelf that it''s built on?
42014What is it, Gerry? 42014 What kind of a bank do you suppose it means?"
42014What kind of a bird is it, Miss Heger?
42014What shall we do this afternoon, or do you want to just rest?
42014What shall we do, Mr. Packard? 42014 What shall you do, Jane, while we are learning to shoot?"
42014What sort of a thing is that?
42014What was that? 42014 What''s that noise?"
42014What''s the matter, chick- a- biddie?
42014What''s the rest?
42014What?
42014When did this all happen?
42014Where are you going with that towel?
42014Where is my father?
42014Where''ll we go to look for it?
42014Which way will we go?
42014Who were they?
42014Why did Bob do that? 42014 Why do n''t we shoot into that pine brush anyway?"
42014Why do n''t you tell him, dearie? 42014 Why, Bob Starr,"she exclaimed,"how could you tell about it after you were all eaten up?"
42014Why, Dan Abbott,she exclaimed,"whatever started you off in that way?
42014Why, Gerald Abbott, where are we going?
42014Why, Mrs. Bently, are you a miracle worker?
42014Why, how come that?
42014Why, what''s the matter? 42014 Will it be quite fair to Mr. Peterson to have Gerry leave his store without giving notice?"
42014Wo n''t you come with us and watch the fun?
42014You and Bob know Jean''s family?
42014You are n''t expecting a bear to find out this soon, are you, that we have some supplies that he might wish to devour?
42014You say the mountain lion was crouched to spring at you? 42014 You''re Dan Abbott''s son, ai n''t you?"
42014You''ve got one of your dreadful headaches, have n''t you, Janey?
42014_ Your father?_Jane and Merry exclaimed almost simultaneously.
42014''Twasn''t anything I said, was it?"
42014A beauty, is n''t he?
42014After a few moments of ransacking, the lad looked up from a box as he asked:"Miss Jane, will you pare the potatoes?"
42014Am I a mere infant to be kept in ignorance of facts like these?
42014And yet, was it deserted?
42014Are n''t they the most exquisite star- like flowers and the most delicate pinks and blues?"
42014Are n''t you anxious about them, Dan?"
42014Are n''t you the same family as she is, and should n''t your hands be kept just as white?
42014Are you all ready?"
42014Are you hurt?
42014Are you three traveling alone?"
42014At last he called:"Bob, have n''t you investigated enough?
42014Be that as it may, almost without her conscious direction she heard herself saying:"I suppose, then, that you must be a great admirer of Meg Heger?"
42014Ben''t they back yet?"
42014Bob retorted:"Well, we had n''t invited you girls, had we?
42014Brought a parcel of young folks along this trip?
42014But Jane remarked rebukingly,"Julie Abbott, do you wish people to think that you have been starved at home?
42014But do tell me who is the girl to whom you introduced me when I first arrived?
42014But it was Jean who replied:"Do n''t you believe that some wounded animal may have dragged itself into the cabin to die?
42014But there are three of us, so what shall we do?"
42014But what could it mean?
42014But why do you suppose Meg''s father remained at the camp after everyone else had left?
42014Ca n''t we get away from the girls somehow?
42014Ca n''t we go right over and hunt for it, Dan?
42014Can I have a try now, Dan?
42014Can I?"
42014Can we help you?"
42014Come in, wo n''t you?"
42014Dan lifted Julie most carefully to the back of his horse as he said:"Meg, can you ride in front of this little miss and I will walk at your side?"
42014Dan, do n''t you s''pose they make''em small enough for boys?"
42014Did I know Danny Abbott?
42014Did I know yer pa?
42014Did n''t I say I''d shoot?
42014Did n''t she care to make his acquaintance?
42014Did you bring me anything?"
42014Did you bring them?"
42014Did you think for one moment that I, knowing how much you liked him, would even want him to care for me?
42014Do n''t you know, Jane''s staying with Dan''cause she thinks he''s too weak to come out here?
42014Do n''t you remember how we heard it roaring?"
42014Do n''t you understand that I love you?
42014Do n''t you want to see what''s on the inside of our cabin?"
42014Do you s''pose Dad would let us come into this wild country without guns?
42014Do you suppose he recognized our name as being the same as his father''s partner?"
42014Do you suppose that the girls would care if Gerald and I go?
42014Do you suppose that while I have a strong right arm I would let my little pal work in any of those drudgery ways?
42014Do you suppose there''s bears in those mountains now?"
42014Do you suppose they have been harmed?"
42014Do you think Dan will get well?"
42014Do you think Meg Heger will ever forgive me?
42014Do you think Mr. Heger will let me?"
42014Do you think he had some clue to the whereabouts of the lost vein?"
42014Do you think it is a grizzly, and do you s''pose it''s that one Dad said came right down here to our ledge?
42014Do you think she''d let me ride on her pony?
42014Do you think that some day you might care for me if I regain my health and am able to make a home for you?"
42014Do you want him to know just how dishonorable you were about the money?"
42014Do you, Dan?"
42014Does n''t it look to you as if it had been made with a pickaxe?
42014Does she look like a young''un of that skulkin''old wildcat?''
42014For a long moment Meg ceased reading and Dan, noting that her hands trembled, went to her side, saying with tender solicitude:"Dear girl, what is it?
42014Gerald knew where you were going, did n''t he?"
42014Get the cue?''
42014Glad to git back to God''s country, ai n''t you now, Si?
42014Glancing at Jean, he questioned:"Ought we to follow them?"
42014Had she any right to use the tax money for a necklace?
42014Has he been pesterin''her?
42014Has that Slinking Coyote frightened you?"
42014Have I been good today?"
42014Have you and the children had more trouble?
42014How can it be averted?"
42014How can we ever thank her?"
42014How could the other three be undesirable when one is so lovely?
42014How did Meg know?
42014How goes it?"
42014How long are you going to stay?"
42014How many tries do we each get?
42014How old be yo'', Miss Jane?
42014How- de- do?
42014I adore mountain climbing, do n''t you, Miss Abbott?"
42014I jest came down to ask if a big brown mare I found whinnyin''around my corral is the one Mr. Packard loaned ye?
42014I like to be awful hungry when there''s something extra special to eat, do n''t you, Janey?"
42014I mean not particularly well?"
42014I wonder if Ma tol''you about that?"
42014If I tell them I will pay it in two weeks, when my birthday money comes, wo n''t that do as well as now?"
42014In a voice that sounded most unfeeling, she asked,"And just what may those changes be?"
42014Is it from Jean?"
42014Is it so hard for you to love them and be patient with their playfulness?
42014Is n''t it a beauty?"
42014Is n''t that the same thing?"
42014Is n''t that what I am, Dan?
42014Is something wrong?"
42014It passes about one, does it not, on the way to Redfords?"
42014Jane suggested:"Would it not be more natural to suppose it to be a New York bank, since that had been Mr. Giguette''s home for years?"
42014Jane, can you care enough for me to promise to be my wife?"
42014Julie chimed in with:"Yep, have n''t we?"
42014Julie was not much interested in the length of a tree''s life and so she began eagerly:"Miss-- I mean-- do you want us to call you Meg?"
42014Julie, upon hearing this, was about to blurt out her disappointment by saying,"How can she, if she''s going back East on Tuesday?"
42014Let''s give it up, shall we, and go back to the girls?"
42014Lifting a tear- stained face to the girl who was watching her, troubled and thoughtful, she implored:"Oh, is n''t there something I can do?
42014May Gerald and I go up there tomorrow?"
42014May I show it to your brother?"
42014May I tell her our secret now-- tonight?"
42014May I walk back to the house with you?"
42014May I?"
42014May n''t I go back to the cabin and put it on?
42014May n''t I, Dan?"
42014May we begin at once to call you Eulalie?"
42014Maybe we''ll find that lost mine, who knows?"
42014Meg, no longer able to keep silent, leaned forward, asking eagerly,"Bob, may I see the letter that my father left for me?"
42014Merry, knowing that time alone could tell whether or not she was a prophet, changed the subject by asking:"From whom are your letters, dear?
42014Mr. Packard will not be worried if you remain with us, will he?
42014Mr. Peterson was so pleased that he asked Gerald about it one day, saying:''Do n''t you like candy, lad?''
42014Nobody''s told her, has there?"
42014Now who comes next?"
42014Now, Gerald, just to be polite, shall we let Julie try first?"
42014Now, is n''t this jolly?"
42014Now, what is the menu to be?"
42014Oh, boy, then wo n''t we have the time of our lives?"
42014Oh, why had she said it?
42014Oh, wo n''t you stay here and let me be the one to hunt?
42014Packard?"
42014Packard?"
42014REDFORDS"Is that all there is to the town of Redfords?"
42014See how comically they sprawl?
42014Shall I go in it, Dan; shall I?"
42014Shall we go back to the ranch house?
42014Shall we, Julie?"
42014Shall you mind if I postpone my departure until a week from Tuesday?"
42014She did wish he would not look at her-- was it wistfully, yearningly or what?
42014She does look sort of sick, does n''t she?"
42014She is beautiful, is n''t she?"
42014She looked to me very much like an Indian, did n''t she to you, Dan?"
42014Some special occasion?"
42014Stopping at their seats, he asked:"Are you Daniel Abbott, accompanied by Jane, Julie and Gerald?"
42014Straddling a chair he blurted out,"Say, is n''t Jane a spoil- joy?
42014Suddenly he said:"Jane, have you changed your mind about going East next Tuesday?"
42014Taking both hot hands in her own, she cried, her blue eyes glowing,"Oh, Jane, dearest Jane,_ did_ you think that Jean Sawyer cared for me?
42014That is n''t so very much, is it, Dad?"
42014That, in itself, proved to him that the old Ute was not her father, but, if he were not, why did he pretend that he was?
42014The beautiful girl looked from one to another of the group and seeing in each face a joyful expression, she asked:"What is it?
42014The boy, who had been silently riding at Jane''s side whenever it had been possible, turned to ask:"Will you ride on ahead with me?"
42014The situation was relieved by Jean''s asking:"May I prepare anything I can find?"
42014Then Dad could pay the rest that he owes and be free from all worry?"
42014Then Gerald blurted out,"Silly, he ca n''t see Meg Heger, can he, when you''ve put her right across from the bouquet?"
42014Then Merry asked:"Meg, or may I say Eulalie, are you willing that I should wire my father all that we know?
42014Then anxiously, and in his voice there was a note that was almost imploring, he asked:"Jane, dear, do n''t you think you can be comfortable in here?"
42014Then glancing at his sister anxiously,"You did n''t like him, did you?
42014Then he heard his questioning thought asking:"Is it possible that Meg''s real name is Giguette?"
42014Then he queried:"Why do you say that he is terrible, Jane?
42014Then she asked, a little anxiously:"Are n''t you skeered we might meet a wildcat or a lion or a bear?"
42014Then taking Meg''s free hand, for Julie was clinging to the other, Jane said,"Wo n''t you turn about and take lunch with us at the inn?
42014Then that persistent voice, deep within her, asked:"Did n''t you deserve it, Jane?
42014Then to Bob:"Were there any banks of dirt near the cabin?"
42014Then, as an afterthought, he cautioned,"Do n''t mention having seen him to Jane, will you, children?"
42014Then, as she saw a sudden wearied expression in her brother''s face, she added:"You''re very tired, Dan, are n''t you?
42014Then, as the clock was striking twelve, the lad suddenly inquired,"Jane, when did all this trouble with the children occur?
42014Then, close to his ear, she asked clearly:"Could you tell me about my father?"
42014Then, looking up inquiringly,"Did Ma tell you how she earned the money she''s savin''for her iddication?"
42014Then, quite irrelevantly, the youth asked:"Would you mind if I call you Margaret?
42014Then, turning to the younger girl, she invited:"Julie, dear, would n''t you like to set the table and make it look real partified?"
42014Then, turning with a startled expression, Jane inquired,"Oh, do you suppose that Jean knows?
42014They always_ do_ try to hide away when they are hurt, do n''t they, Meg?"
42014They dashed in and out again, nor would they stop when we called to ask where they were going?"
42014Three?"
42014Turning back, she looked thoughtfully at the cabin, then said,"Dan, will you help me bar the door that no wild creature can get in?
42014Umm, wo n''t they be glad when they see them?
42014Was it large?"
42014Was it the lost vein or some other treasure that he sought?
42014Was she never to be through with hearing about Meg Heger?
42014Was this innkeeper''s wife going to tell her that she had never seen but one other girl who was more beautiful?
42014We''ll be as quiet as-- as----"Dan smilingly offered:"How would Santa Claus do?
42014What are we to do next?"
42014What can it mean?"
42014What could be his reason?
42014What could it mean?"
42014What do you wish, Jane?"
42014What has gone wrong?"
42014What has happened?
42014What has happened?"
42014What have you seen to frighten you?"
42014What is it, Miss Heger?
42014What is the other unmaterialized wish, Gerry?"
42014What kind of a bear is it?
42014What right had their father to lose his fortune and bring disgrace and privation upon his family?
42014What shall I do?"
42014What was that?"
42014What would Jane''s decision be?
42014What would two weeks more or less matter?
42014What would we do?"
42014What''s that noise I hear?"
42014What?
42014When Merry asked if their search had taken them close to the tomb of the old Ute Indian, Bob had looked over at Dan and had asked,"Shall we tell?"
42014When are we going down there, Dan?"
42014When they had reached the last, Bob asked:"Is it a message telling where the box is?"
42014When they joined the excited group on the front porch, Bob stood up, saying,"Shall we start now?"
42014When they were alone, Merry whirled and caught Jane''s hands as she asked glowingly:"Can you guess what''s in the box?
42014Where are they?"
42014Where did they go and why?"
42014Where do the townspeople live?"
42014While Meg talked, she realized that Dan had still more to tell, and so she asked:"Where did you boys search, and did you find anything at all?"
42014Who do you suppose he is?"
42014Who will go with me and where shall we begin the search?"
42014Will he hurt us?"
42014Will that be all right?"
42014Will you do that if I get the materials?"
42014Without a word of greeting she said:"The children, have they been found?"
42014Wo n''t Gerry be wild with joy?
42014Wo n''t it, Dan?"
42014Wo n''t that be high jinks, though?
42014Wo n''t you ever grow up, and greet people in a more dignified way?"
42014Wo n''t you give up all thought of going away and try once again to be that other girl?"
42014Wo n''t you take the third?"
42014Would n''t it be great if we could find the lost gold vein on our very own ten acres?
42014Would n''t it have been easier for us to follow that?"
42014Would n''t that be fun?
42014Would n''t you rather read it to yourself?"
42014Would this torture never end?
42014Would you admire a girl who would fall upon your neck after you had been rude to her?"
42014You are seventeen, now, are n''t you?"
42014You never have cared for any girl yet, have you?
42014You think it was about an hour after that?"
42014You want them, do n''t you, Janey?"
42014You will want to go with Dan to take care of him, wo n''t you, Jane?"
42014You''d love me, would n''t you?"
46520And how much did you know when you told me of it?
46520Any family?
46520Are these your name and address?
46520Are you very much injured?
46520But how have you deceived me?
46520Can you offer us any security?
46520Can you tell us where he lives?
46520Could I manage to get this woman''s property into my hands?
46520Did he,they asked ironically,"really think of turning honest?
46520Do you allow that?
46520Do you mean to suggest that either of us would have destroyed the document?
46520Do you think we can safely descend the staircase?
46520Have you the key of this piano?
46520He is going away by dat ship, is he?
46520How am I to know that you will give it me then? 46520 How do you make that out?"
46520How long have you been married?
46520I hope,he said,"you have agreed to assist me?"
46520Is this your address, my good man?
46520No doubt he is; but, you see, if he stole a cheque after you had signed it, we could n''t say that he forged your signature, could we?
46520No, I suppose not; but what matters about that? 46520 Now, I guess,"he continued,"that you''ll take me first to the consulate of the United States, wo n''t you?"
46520Oh, I see your drift; but how is that to be made out?
46520Oh, you will, will you? 46520 Quite correct; but did any thing occur there?"
46520Shall we leap out of the window?
46520She asked you to take her?
46520That might be; but what do you say about her pleasantries with that conceited and empty- headed young fop, Lord Swellington?
46520The old Indian colonel?
46520They are good, then?
46520They know what I want, then?
46520Well, John Shufflebotham,I was the first to say,"I suppose you have come for the other half of your note?"
46520Well, how much did you know about it before I told you of it?
46520What can we do?
46520What class of goods do you say you can offer us?
46520What credit do they want?
46520What do you mean to do, then?
46520What do you mean, sir?
46520What do you want here?
46520What goods are they you have to sell?
46520What is to be done about the wages, sir, this week?
46520What then? 46520 What will be the amount of the fees, do you suppose?"
46520What, then, was this clue?
46520What?
46520Where are you?
46520Who are you? 46520 Why so emphasise that word_ hope_?
46520Why, I suppose I must be-- of course, must n''t I?
46520Why, what''s the matter? 46520 Will you give it us, then?"
46520Will you let me have the key of this piano?
46520Will you not pay me something on my account?
46520With every one?
46520Would he?
46520You forgot, sir, I think, to give me a receipt; and I do n''t think I ever had any for the money I paid you in the prison?
46520You really, sir----"What do you mean, sir? 46520 You told me,"observed the unknown visitor to the shopman,"that Mrs. Delmar was with her husband?"
46520You will forgive me, doctor, wo n''t you?
46520108 A PATRIOTIC BARBER IN FAULT 122 A ROMANCE OF SOCIAL LIFE 136 THE VIRTUE OF AN AMERICAN PASSPORT 171 WHO WAS THE GREATEST CRIMINAL?
46520A RAILWAY ACCIDENT?
46520Am I overstating the case?
46520And what then?"
46520And why, the reader may ask, did you want to take this advantage of the law''s proper servant or officer?
46520And, for his own sake, was it not desirable to let the real facts be known?
46520But how can we be mistaken?"
46520But shall I telegraph to the stations and tell them we pay this week on Thursday?"
46520But should I, or should I not, undertake to confirm or remove the unjust husband''s suspicions?
46520But was there any thing, and if so what was there, in the conduct of your wife to justify your suspicions about her?"
46520But what does he care about the guilt or innocence of his clients?
46520But what does this mean?"
46520But, unless some confederate had given her that card, how could she have obtained it?
46520By what means can I live and maintain my family than by the exercise of my profession?
46520Ca n''t you manage that for me, doctor?"
46520Certainly you can have a duly- stamped receipt, if you please; but I hope you do n''t suppose that I want to cheat you?
46520Could I here abandon the search, and leave the poor lady''s crime a mystery, or an undetected fact?
46520Could he be mistaken?
46520Could he have run away with the money?
46520Could he swear to the lie without blushing?
46520Could that be a corner of an envelope, or was it a stray fragment of paper?
46520Crapp"on that slip of paper?
46520Did he doubt who had written his name at the foot of that order to pay?
46520Do you know Downey and Grabble?"
46520Do you mean to say that I killed Willie?
46520Do you recollect the time, Tommy?"
46520Does not guilt, as a rule, maintain its self- possession, and look with a bold front upon the perils of its situation?
46520Does not innocence tremble, and lose its self- possession under the remotest suspicion of an offence?
46520Does the reader know that all the money taken at a railway station is sent up to head- quarters every night?
46520Does the reader wish me to answer the question at the head of this narrative?
46520Had he acted prudently in compelling the disguised officer to serve the process in the presence of Mrs. Delmar?
46520Had he made a will, or had he died intestate?
46520Had n''t they feelings as well as a secretary, or a general manager, or a director, or the chairman of a board?
46520Have you any rope at hand?"
46520Have you observed any other instances of what you deem your wife''s impropriety?"
46520How could any thing be expected from him in that way that would not strengthen the plaintiff''s case?
46520How could the robbery have been effected without his participation or connivance?
46520How did he know that it was some pretended friend that was robbing them?
46520How do I know that I shall not want it, every farthing?
46520How do I prove my fact and moral?
46520How was that to be done?
46520How was that?
46520I should not like to think you reward my anxious services on your behalf by entertaining such an unjust suspicion of me as that?"
46520I wonder how it was?
46520I yield every thing she desires; and why not, as I am not certain that her affections wander?"
46520If it is n''t forgery, it''s robbery, felony, is n''t it?"
46520If so, how did he know that he should then get rid of the thief?
46520If the deceased made a will, where could it be?
46520In what deceived me?
46520In what respect acted as a poor woman should not?"
46520In what way have you wronged me?
46520Is he bound to stop payment at the end of that partial experiment, and treat the problem as one therein solved?
46520Is it not a nice phrase?
46520Is n''t it as wicked and abominable to steal a cheque signed, as it would be to steal one unsigned?
46520Is not that a fortune?
46520It''s just as welcome to- day as to- morrow, I dare say; but why did n''t you say you were coming to- day?
46520It''s the fun of it you like, as you say, I suppose?"
46520Let me see, what did you say your balance was, sir?"
46520Let me see, who shall I give you?
46520Ought I to permit myself to be used as a spy upon his wife''s movements-- being so firmly convinced, as I was, of her innocence?
46520PAGE MY GREAT ELECTIONEERING TRICK 1 MISTAKEN IDENTITY 35 AN UNSCRUPULOUS WOMAN 50 THE INCENDIARY GANG 60 A RAILWAY ACCIDENT?
46520She replied by an entreaty that I would not take it from her, for she asked,"What will become of me and my dear children if I lose it?"
46520She replied, in faltering accents and spasmodic sentences,"What?
46520Should I allow him to employ me?
46520Should he take him into confidence?
46520Should he treat the messenger who brought this scandalous official libel with civility?
46520The barber led me outside to the yard of the Pig and Whistle, and addressing me, inquired,"I suppose you have got the money all right?"
46520The sergeant asked him if his name was not Thinshanks?
46520They asked again and again, How could it have been done in despite of his vigilance?
46520WHO WAS THE GREATEST CRIMINAL?
46520Was he to banish all his friends from his house?
46520Was he to dismiss all the servants?
46520Was it as a reward for past clever and prudent service?
46520Was it the price of perpetual silence?
46520Was it the seal upon a mystery?
46520Was that possible?
46520Was this enjoyment to be sacrificed, or even postponed?
46520Were not your wife''s attentions the mere courtesies which all true women find pleasure in bestowing upon age and bravery?"
46520Were they to be laughed at, and jeered at, and told that the company was insolvent, that their masters could n''t pay their wages?
46520What can I do?
46520What could have given rise to these suspicions in the mind of such a man as Mr. Percival?
46520What did it matter to him, he argued with himself, if people got drunk?
46520What do you mean by looking at me as you do?
46520What do you mean?"
46520What do you require the key of_ that_ for?"
46520What have I to forgive you?"
46520What have you got to say to me?"
46520What his motive?
46520What is it?"
46520What is your business?"
46520What motive could he have to set his establishment on fire?
46520What sort of references did he bring to the company when he first entered its service, now five years ago?
46520What the latent desire he really had?
46520What was his previous character?
46520What would you do, at your time of life, to keep yourself?
46520What''s the use of hoping not?
46520What''s your name?
46520What, indeed, should he do?
46520Where could this vehicle go to and come from?
46520Who could do so?
46520Who should contradict him?
46520Who was this gentleman?
46520Why could he not have left that in the custody of some one of the respectable people to whom he has given the principal part of his fortune?"
46520Why did I reason to myself thus?
46520Why do you look at me all day?
46520Why not?
46520Why should he suffer under the odium of a deeper criminality than he had been guilty of?
46520Why, wo n''t people say that, after getting me to come here and sleep with you, you denounced me in order to cover your own improper conduct?"
46520Will you forgive me?"
46520Wilson?"
46520Would not you like to have it, old girl?
46520Would the reader like to guess what the letter contained?
46520Would the reader like to know how I got hold of the fellow?
46520Yet again and again these very inquiries landed them upon the question, How could it have happened without at least his connivance?
46520Yet how could she, who had been a poor daily governess all her life, release her ambition in this respect?
46520You can not prevent that now, can you, Mr. Shufflebotham?
46520You do n''t say so?"
46520exclaimed my driver; and addressing a man who swayed the whip in the first cart, he inquired,"Whose is that lot?"
46520for N----?
46520the union workhouse?"
46520what is the matter?"
51810A what?
51810And can you tell me why he is going to give himself away to rescue you?
51810Any objections?
51810But Florence isn''t--?
51810But how could he possibly fail?
51810But is n''t a man guilty when he''s guilty?
51810But it would be frightfully hard to bamboozle a telepathic policeman, would n''t it?
51810But what has that to do with it?
51810But why is n''t it?
51810But why?
51810But, Chief, I--"So what do I hear tell?
51810But-- how could you--?
51810Captain Schnell,breathed Florence Wood,"what on Earth are you talking about?"
51810Changed?
51810Coming quietly, Wood, or must I weld them on you?
51810Date?
51810Do I look like a mind reader?
51810Do n''t you know?
51810Fancy?
51810Going to stop the rain again, Captain Schnell?
51810Got any ideas?
51810Got everything figured out, have n''t you, Schnell?
51810How do you know Wood''s coming?
51810How do you propose to get out?
51810I know the Fifth,she said,"but how about the Fourth?"
51810I suppose so-- but could n''t I_ tell_?
51810Indeed? 51810 Know a lot about Andrews, do n''t you, Schnell?"
51810Police Captain--?
51810Schnell-- what in the bloody hell have you done?
51810So how do you connect them up?
51810So that is the work of your sly thief?
51810Superman?
51810Tell whether someone was listening to my thoughts?
51810Tell?
51810Trust me, Florence?
51810Well, Chief, you see--"You perhaps suspected that she''d just walked through the wall of that apartment? 51810 Well, then?"
51810What are you driving at, Schnell?
51810What do you mean, Chief?
51810What do you think of that?
51810Wood, if I make a single move outside of the law, you''ll use it against me, wo n''t you?
51810Wood?
51810Would n''t that depend upon whether the policeman or the criminal was the more talented?
51810Would n''t they?
51810Yeah, Chief?
51810Yes, but are n''t you backing yourself into a hole that you''ve lined with fish hooks yourself?
51810You mean that the law has laws against telepathy?
51810You mean-- like--_mind reading_?
51810***** The Chief sarcastically grunted,"Has it been fired since?"
51810*****"Objections?
51810And that''s how you put the long arm of coincidence to work?"
51810Any other ideas about my talents?"
51810Anyway, can we expect you for dinner this evening?"
51810But it would solve my problem, would n''t it?
51810But who should know better than a policeman what the average motorist will do in the face of an emergency?
51810Can the radio transmitter be measured to tell whether the broadcast has any audience?
51810Catch?"
51810Chief Weston''s choler rose visibly, and in a voice loud enough to be heard in Asbury Park, he yelled:"Schnell, did you-- buy-- this?"
51810Does the sign wear out any faster if it''s read?
51810Exultantly, I thought:"Can you hit a moving target, Psi- man?"
51810For instance, does he become bold enough to mention it to Chief Weston, or to Commissioner Stone?
51810He plowed right in:"And what in hell have you been doing?"
51810How best to keep a secret?
51810How could I tell this hurt girl that I had looked time and again into the minds of killers and found them far worse than the deeds they committed?
51810I said,"If I cry out, how can I know whether I am being heard?"
51810I thanked her, and she smiled wide and bright as she asked,"Has Daddy been giving you the details of his impossible bandit?"
51810I thought in deep concentration:"_ How do you read me, Psi- man?_"The response was zero- zero.
51810If he does, will he be in a high position, or will he be one of the diligent ones who fetch coffee for the guy in the upper office?
51810Is your''perfect crime''to be perfect in the eyes of the criminal, or in the eyes of the police?"
51810Mind reading every anticipated move?"
51810Mr. Wood inquired,"Are you interested in parapsychology, Captain Schnell?"
51810Nothing can possibly be more baffling than a crime in a sealed room... but what if the investigator happens to have an open mind?
51810Now, what gave you any reason to suppose that I am endowed with special talents?"
51810Police Chief Weston spied me and snapped,"What do you make of it, Schnell?"
51810She said with amusement,"Captain Schnell, why do n''t you start the car and drive it over here?
51810So, where do you wish to be taken?"
51810That is your own angle, is n''t it?"
51810There are lots of analogs, but are any of them valid?
51810What shall I tell him?"
51810Will one of the ignorant apes recognize the truth?
51810You''re a Psi- man, too!_""_ Who-- me?_"I thought without a visible change in my expression for Florence Wood to see.
51810_ Plain?_ Was he kidding himself?
51810_ Plain?_ Was he kidding himself?
39018A farmer?
39018A hotel?
39018A play? 39018 All by yourself, Milly?"
39018Am I so formidable that you should leap out of my way as though you had seen a ghost?
39018Am I to come with you now?
39018And Lord Silchester wins, I presume?
39018And Morton is your name? 39018 And afterwards did she ever mention Mr. Ravenor''s name to you?
39018And are you Dr. Randall''s other pupil?
39018And have you-- has anyone?
39018And if he does n''t come?
39018And is the other gentleman staying here?
39018And so Silchester stopped with her to console her?
39018And so you know Leonard? 39018 And the advantages?"
39018And the result?
39018And what can their common- sense and their brains give them in its place?
39018And when?
39018And who are you, please?
39018And why can not you find them in England-- at Ravenor with me?
39018And why have you locked the door?
39018And would his madness be incurable?
39018And you-- pardon me, but you look very young, and a great deal too fresh and healthy for a town man-- you do n''t know much of London life, do you?
39018And your books-- where do they come from?
39018Anything the matter?
39018Are they friends of yours who have just come in?
39018Are you coming back now?
39018Are you expecting to hear a confession?
39018Are you going shopping to- day, Elsie?
39018Are you mad, de Cartienne?
39018Are you much hurt, sir?
39018Are you ready for me, Marx?
39018Are you sure that you have brought me to the right place?
39018Are you sure that you were born at Ravenor?
39018Bad form, is n''t it? 39018 Better, Philip?
39018Boy, how old are you?
39018But why not send him to a public school at once?
39018But your mother? 39018 But-- but, mother----""Well?"
39018By all that''s wonderful, is it really you? 39018 Ca n''t you hear it?"
39018Ca n''t you think of something else to do?
39018Can you describe him?
39018Can you tell me his name?
39018Can you tell me whether anyone of that name has been staying here during the last week?
39018Can you wonder that I have come?
39018Cecil, what do you think? 39018 Cecil?"
39018Chatterbox? 39018 Come, shall I be your cicerone?"
39018Come, what do you say to cigarettes and coffee? 39018 Could n''t I catch him up?"
39018Could n''t you wait for me five minutes?
39018Did n''t you say that we were to call for Silchester somewhere?
39018Did you see anyone?
39018Did you walk here?
39018Do I look like it?
39018Do I understand that you detain me here against my will?
39018Do n''t you know me, Francis?
39018Do n''t you? 39018 Do you know Nanpantan, Mr. Morton, where the meet is this morning?"
39018Do you know any of your mother''s relations?
39018Do you know what a police raid is?
39018Do you know who I am?
39018Do you like the man himself?
39018Do you mean to say, then, that after her elopement my mother never once communicated with her father or sister?
39018Do you mind giving me another cup of tea, Miss Hamilton? 39018 Do you remember how your mother received the news?"
39018Do you remember that a man called to see me, whom I declined to admit, on the night of your first visit here? 39018 Do you remember the time when news came of Mr. Ravenor, after he had been supposed to have been dead for so long?"
39018Do you remember what the man was like?
39018Do you think he has been a lunatic long?
39018Do you think it is a pretty name?
39018Do you understand?
39018Do you want money?
39018Do you want to give up your secret, to let the world know the truth?
39018Do you?
39018Does the doctor allow smoking?
39018Fond of reading, are you? 39018 Fond of reading, are you?"
39018For Lord Silchester''s sake?
39018Get anything out of the old chap?
39018Ghastly night, is n''t it?
39018Going to do any shooting?
39018Got away from me?
39018Had enough cards, Cis?
39018Has anyone else one of those photographs of your father?
39018Has he taken anything away with him this time?
39018Have a lemon- squash, Morton?
39018Have either of you a piece of wastepaper in your pockets?
39018Have n''t we met before?
39018Have n''t you been out all day, then, de Cartienne?
39018Have you an appointment?
39018Have you any grounds for such a belief?
39018Have you any idea where you are going?
39018Have you come down to meet me?
39018Have you finished? 39018 Have you heard it before, may I ask?"
39018Have you read Hibbet''s little pamphlets?
39018Have you read the newspapers just lately?
39018Have your clothes come from Torchester?
39018He ca n''t have gone on up to the Castle, can he?
39018He ca n''t very well refuse if we ask for it, can he?
39018He got away from you, then?
39018He is in London, then?
39018His mind would not be very strong, then?
39018His name? 39018 How came she in that exhausted condition?"
39018How can you leave them?
39018How can you sit here in this ghostly light with only one lamp-- and such a fire, too?
39018How could I be?
39018How dare you attempt to pry into my private affairs? 39018 How did you find that out without leaving this room?"
39018How often has he been here?
39018How old did you say you were?
39018How old is your inamorata?
39018How shall you try to raise the money?
39018How the deuce do you know anything about what your master would prefer?
39018How?
39018I say, Phil, old chap, suppose we bolt and do the seashore as far as Litton Bay?
39018I say, is n''t she stunning?
39018I suppose you know your young friend''s name by this time? 39018 I''ve scarcely had a moment with you, Milly, though, have I?
39018Indeed? 39018 Is Cis Mr. Ravenor''s nephew, Silchester?"
39018Is he waiting?
39018Is it really you, Francis?
39018Is it well, think you, that I should return again into the life which I am weary of, when all that I desire lies here ready to my hand? 39018 Is neither Lord Silchester nor Mr. de Cartienne up yet, James?"
39018Is she alive?
39018Is that the sea, then?
39018Is there any answer, sir?
39018Is there anyone from whom you could borrow one?
39018Is there anything more I can do for you, sir?
39018Is there no one about who can hold my horse? 39018 Is this to be the end, then, father?"
39018It will make us very late, wo n''t it?
39018It''s only Mr. Francis, is n''t it?
39018Leave me out of this deal, will you?
39018Let me congratulate you, my dear brother, on----"Did I understand you to say that you would be ready in a quarter of an hour, Cecilia?
39018Look here, Mr. Morton,he added, frankly enough,"what do you want with the man?
39018Lord Langerdale,I cried, my voice, despite all my efforts, trembling with eagerness,"you know who my mother was?
39018Lost anything?
39018May I ask the name of the fortunate young lady?
39018May I go in here for a minute?
39018May I see it, sir?
39018Me? 39018 Mean Cis?
39018Mother, are you in trouble?
39018Mother,I cried, with glowing cheeks and voice trembling with eagerness,"what is the matter?
39018Mr. Morton, is n''t it?
39018Mr. Morton,she said, a little nervously,"my brother said that you were going to Dr. Randall''s, I believe?"
39018Neither did you, I suppose, Tom?
39018Never mind, you wo n''t be so lonely, little woman, will you? 39018 Not a very cheerful row, is it?"
39018Now, shall I lend you some books?
39018Oh, it be you, be it, Muster Morton?
39018Perhaps you noticed,he went on, after a short pause,"that it was rather a shock to me to see them here?"
39018Philip, can not you see what this means? 39018 Philip, my boy,"he said kindly,"will you come back to the Castle with me?
39018Philip, whose writing is this?
39018Philip, why did you not tell me before?
39018Philip, will you go?
39018Philip,she went on, stooping down and feeling for my hand,"do you know where we are?
39018Quite an unexpected visit, this, is n''t it?
39018Rather a chatterbox, is n''t she?
39018Rather late for you to be up, is n''t it? 39018 Ready, Cecil?"
39018See that bright light close ahead?
39018See,he cried, pointing downwards,"is it not well done?
39018Seven or eight?
39018Shall we go and see it?
39018She''s gone to bed wi''a headache, you say? 39018 Should you split to the governor?"
39018So Mr. Richards has decided not to wait, after all?
39018So that is your idea, is it?
39018So you are my new pupil?
39018So you look upon me as a sort of Mephistopheles, eh? 39018 So you think that I would swear to a lie, Philip?
39018So you''ve been entertaining one of my guests for me, Trixie, have you?
39018Some story of the past-- my past?
39018Son of the man who was murdered?
39018Surely you do not mean this?
39018Tell me-- you have heard something in London?
39018The place is a gambling- club, then?
39018Then come into the drawing- room for a few minutes, will you?
39018Then where? 39018 Then you do not even know where she and Mr. Ravenor were married?"
39018There have been letters addressed to him here by that name,I said;"can you tell me what has become of them?"
39018Think so? 39018 This Count de Cartienne,"I asked,"is he young?
39018This is n''t a play, is it? 39018 This is the room where he writes, is n''t it?
39018Those? 39018 Undoubtedly; but whence the foul play?
39018Very fair, was n''t it? 39018 Was he your mother''s first husband?"
39018We''re almost there now, then, I suppose?
39018Well, Mr. Morton, have you changed your mind, or am I to have the honour of your company this evening?
39018Well, Philip,he said, when everyone had gone,"how are you getting on at Dr. Randall''s?
39018Well, are you ready for your matric., Cecil?
39018Well, did n''t you undertake to teach me how last evening?
39018Well, have you enjoyed your evening?
39018Well, then, Count de Cartienne is quite a new acquaintance of yours, is he not?
39018Well,I answered,"what do you want me to do?"
39018Were you born here?
39018What about Mr. Marx? 39018 What about it?"
39018What about?
39018What are they?
39018What are you going to do with it?
39018What can you know of him so bad that you see danger in my having talked with him for a few minutes?
39018What do you call your horses?
39018What do you mean?
39018What do you suppose the box contains?
39018What do you want?
39018What does it all mean?
39018What have you been up to in Torchester, eh? 39018 What have you brought that young cub down here for?"
39018What have you got there? 39018 What have you there?"
39018What is he doing?
39018What is his name?
39018What is it, George? 39018 What is it, mother?"
39018What is it? 39018 What is it?"
39018What is it?
39018What is the matter, Philip? 39018 What is the place we are going to?"
39018What is the time?
39018What is wrong?
39018What is your sister like now, Cis?
39018What name?
39018What shall we do with this man?
39018What was it they shied at first?
39018What was it?
39018What''s going on underneath?
39018What''s that light? 39018 What''s the matter now?
39018What''s the matter, old chap? 39018 What?"
39018What?
39018Whatever made you get up so early?
39018When did he come first? 39018 When does he expect you to settle up?"
39018When shall I see you again?
39018Where am I?
39018Where are the others?
39018Where did he have them taken?
39018Where did you drop across him, Len?
39018Where did you hear this, George?
39018Where is he now?
39018Where is he, then?
39018Where is-- he?
39018Where were you born?
39018Who are you?
39018Who is it?
39018Who is it?
39018Who is the young gentleman?
39018Who keeps the key?
39018Who might he have been, sir?
39018Who was the doctor and where does he live?
39018Whose servant is James?
39018Why ca n''t you tell me?
39018Why did n''t you go to Scotland Yard and tell them of your suspicions?
39018Why did you not use the speaking- tube?
39018Why did you want to go to the coach- house so early?
39018Why have you not brought it, as I bade you in my note? 39018 Why have you not brought that box?"
39018Why not?
39018Why not?
39018Why not?
39018Why this sudden fit of industry?
39018Why, Ag-- Miss Hamilton, is that really you over in the corner?
39018Why, hang it all,he said,"how can you refuse to play with a man after you''ve eaten his dinner?
39018Why, what else do you suppose it is?
39018Why, what the mischief are you staring at, Morton?
39018Will he be caught-- the man who killed father?
39018Will the fair Millicent condescend, or shall I ring?
39018Will you accept the congratulations and thanks of a provincial who seldom has the pleasure of seeing such acting or hearing such a voice?
39018Will you be so good, sir, as to step off the planking?
39018Will you come too, Philip?
39018Will you come with me?
39018Will you tell me about it?
39018Wo n''t we have a rare old time?
39018Wo n''t you introduce me?
39018Wo n''t you introduce your visitor?
39018Would you mind telling me who they are, then?
39018Yes,I assented,"one of the fellows down at Borden Tower----""What, you know Leonard?"
39018Yet what?
39018You admire Ravenor Castle very much, Philip?
39018You are happier now, mother?
39018You are not going to write now?
39018You ca n''t help me at all then?
39018You did n''t find him very hungry for his winnings, did you?
39018You did n''t see the face of the man who attacked us, then?
39018You do n''t mind, Morton, do you?
39018You do n''t mind, do you?
39018You have n''t found the portrait yet?
39018You have walked from Mellborough?
39018You know a Mr. Marx, I believe? 39018 You mean to say, then, that you have never had any distinct ambitions-- everything has been vague?"
39018You recognised them?
39018You remember me, then?
39018You remember your mother''s letter to you and her dying request?
39018You threw me those lovely flowers, did n''t you? 39018 You will have some lunch, sir, before we go into the town?"
39018You would n''t send me back to Melton dinnerless, would you, even if I have come without an invitation? 39018 You''re Philip Morton, I suppose?"
39018You''re not frightened, are you?
39018You''ve been reading, have n''t you?
39018Your mother thinks I be gone straight away to Farmer Woods to see about the colt, do n''t she?
39018Your name Morton?
39018Your name and business, sir?
39018110''s name?"
39018A telegram?"
39018And Mr. de Cartienne, James?
39018And how have you been able to divine what sort of books mine are, without having seen them?"
39018And now tell me, how did you know for whom I was saving that chair?"
39018And now tell me,_ mon ami_, shall we spend the evening together?
39018And supposing I were to say that it wasn''t-- that it was for someone else?"
39018And what am I?
39018And what was it I heard you say about a photograph?"
39018And why not?
39018And yet what was I to do?
39018And you''ll give me a lead to- day, wo n''t you?
39018And you, Philip?
39018And your other fellow pupil is young Lord Silchester, is he not?
39018Answer me this: Have you any reason to suppose that-- that there was no marriage?"
39018Are you better?"
39018Are you coming back to the Metropole to- night?"
39018Are you going to take the groom''s place, then, and hold the leading- rein?"
39018Are you satisfied?"
39018Are you satisfied?"
39018Are you wondering whether a magician''s wand has touched Ravenor Castle?"
39018Besides, ca n''t you see that it is n''t he who wants to play at all?
39018But I say, Phil,"he added,"what is this idea of yours?
39018But about London, Phil?"
39018But are not second thoughts always better?
39018But how about de Cartienne?"
39018But how could it be?
39018But what did it all mean?
39018But what the mischief else is there to do in this dull hole?"
39018But, on the other hand, what alternative was there for me?
39018But----""But what?"
39018By the by, Mr. Morton, may I ask you a question-- in confidence?"
39018By the bye, I ought to have introduced myself, ought n''t I?
39018Ca n''t you hear something now?"
39018Ca n''t you see he''s a cad?"
39018Can I get you anything?"
39018Can not I comfort you?
39018Can you make anything of that, sir?"
39018Clemson?"
39018Coining must be going on in London somewhere upon an enormous scale, and the police are---- Why, Philip, what''s the matter with you?"
39018Come, is that all it tells you?"
39018Could Dr. Schofield give me any information?
39018Could I doubt it when I looked into Lady Langerdale''s face and felt my uncle''s warm hand- clasp?
39018Could you give me his address?"
39018Did Mr. Hart ever suffer from any brain disorder at any time?
39018Did she see anything of him?"
39018Did she think me so weak and impressionable that a few minutes''conversation with any man could bring me harm?
39018Do n''t you agree with me, boy?"
39018Do n''t you think so?"
39018Do you all chum together pretty well?"
39018Do you ever see anything of Leonard de Cartienne?"
39018Do you hear?"
39018Do you hear?"
39018Do you like being there?"
39018Do you see much of one another?"
39018Do you understand me?"
39018Do you understand?"
39018Dost feel badly?"
39018Dost remember?"
39018Even if he had taken the manuscript, what use could he make of it?
39018Ever been to the theatre?"
39018Give me the envelope, or I''ll----""You''ll what?"
39018Good- looking girl, is n''t she-- the one singing, I mean?"
39018Had not my mother forbidden my mentioning these visits to anyone?
39018Had we not always lived at the farm?
39018Had you, Lord Penraven?"
39018Has he ever reminded you of anyone?"
39018Has he overslept himself, too?"
39018Has his mind always been quite strong?"
39018Hast seen anything of this before?"
39018Have you any distinct aims?
39018Have you had enough of this performance?
39018Have you never been away to visit your relations, or anything of that sort?"
39018He looked uncommonly seedy, did n''t he?
39018How could it profit him?
39018How could you?"
39018I asked, as he disappeared--"yours or the doctor''s?"
39018I asked--"not even to Drayton?"
39018I cried bitterly;"this prison- house?"
39018I have only just come downstairs, have I not, Cecil?
39018I hope you''re not offended?"
39018I mean, have you any definite ideas as to the future?"
39018I said quickly;"see this?"
39018I said softly, moving nearer to her;"can not I share your sorrow?
39018I say"--with sudden emphasis--"isn''t Aggie Hamilton a jolly good- looking girl?"
39018I say, you''ll come down with me, old chap, wo n''t you?"
39018I suppose he admires her very much?"
39018I suppose you mean to matriculate?"
39018I suppose you would teach me how to play cards, if I desired to learn?"
39018I wonder if you could tell me who they are?"
39018If Mr. Marx made use of his private keys and went straight to the library at the castle, what would come of it?
39018If we go to London, will you remain here and watch for him?"
39018Is he not in the Castle?"
39018Is it anything unpleasant?"
39018Is that he?"
39018It seems to me, Count de Cartienne, that you are making a tool of me, and----""What is it you want-- to see this man Marx?"
39018Marx?"
39018Marx?"
39018Marx?"
39018Marx?"
39018Marx?"
39018Marx?"
39018Marx?"
39018Marx?"
39018Marx?"
39018May I ask who your father was?"
39018May I have the honour of presenting you to her?"
39018Might it not be the dreary expiation, the hard penance of her church meted out for sin?
39018Might not this affair shape itself to my advantage?
39018Money?"
39018Morton, what''ll you have?"
39018Morton?"
39018Morton?"
39018Morton?"
39018Morton?"
39018Morton?"
39018Morton?"
39018Morton?"
39018Morton?"
39018Need I say what had happened?
39018Nevertheless, I asked Cecil a question with some curiosity:"What sort of looking man was he?"
39018No news, I suppose?"
39018No news?"
39018Now tell me, Mr. Morton, do you know this country?"
39018Now, what is this tale which you have to tell me?"
39018Oh, I say,"I added, turning back on a sudden impulse,"how long is it since Mr. Marx was here?"
39018Oh, Mr. Ravenor is in London, is he?"
39018Oh, what shall I do?"
39018Papers, cards, gambling appliances?
39018Promise me that, if you have the opportunity, you will do what you can?"
39018Randall''s?"
39018Randall?"
39018Rather dark and thin and short?
39018Ravenor?"
39018Ravenor?"
39018Ravenor?"
39018Ravenor?"
39018Saw you, did n''t I, Miss Milly?"
39018Say, old chap, are you ill?"
39018See these flowers?"
39018Settle what up?"
39018Shall I ring the ostler''s bell and tell him?
39018Shall we?"
39018Shopping?"
39018So I stood quite still with my back to the wall, and called out softly:"Who are you?
39018So what could I do but go?
39018Supposing he were to encounter this lunatic and suffer at his hands, perhaps even lose his life, should I not blame myself?
39018Supposing she refused to come down and receive, as a visitor, the man of whom she had spoken such mysterious words?
39018Surely you know some of her people?"
39018Tell me whether this thing is true?"
39018Then I explained what was really the purport of my visit: Had he preserved the negative of the photograph which he had taken of Mr. Hart?
39018Then what are you going to do, pray?"
39018Then you are one of Dr. Randall''s pupils, I suppose?"
39018There is no reason why you should not consent, is there?"
39018There''s one in the sitting- room, is n''t there?"
39018To- day----""Yes, what are we going to do to- day?"
39018Very odd about that photograph, is n''t it?
39018WHERE IS MR. MARX?
39018Well, well, let it be so; what matter?"
39018What are you doing here?"
39018What can you have to say to me about him?"
39018What chance would he have?"
39018What could Mr. Ravenor have found so awful in the story which I had told and how could it concern him?
39018What could it contain?
39018What could it mean?
39018What could one reply to such a strange way of putting a case?
39018What could she be wanting in the garden at this hour?
39018What did it all mean?
39018What difference could Mr. Ravenor''s presence make to us?
39018What do my schoolboy voices tell you?"
39018What do you propose to do with him?"
39018What does he want, think you?
39018What excuse could I find for declining so simple an invitation?
39018What had I done?
39018What harm had I done Mr. Marx, and why should he seek to injure me?
39018What have you been up to in Little Drayton?"
39018What if they should be something more than coincidences?
39018What is the matter?
39018What possible motive could he have for being my enemy?
39018What shall it be?"
39018What shall we do with him?
39018What shall you say to him, father?
39018What sort of a cry?"
39018What the mischief do you mean by stopping my carriage in this way on the high road and asking me questions like that?
39018What was I to say?
39018What was a farmer''s son likely to know of the old masters?
39018What was that?
39018What was the question you went back to ask Milly?"
39018What will it be, I wonder-- the Bar, the Army, the Church, agriculture?
39018What''s Milly looking so scared about?
39018What''s up?"
39018When will you start?"
39018Where are all the farm men?"
39018Where else could I have been born?
39018Where have you been to school?"
39018Where have you come from?
39018Where is Mr. Marx?
39018Where is de Cartienne?
39018Where is he?
39018Which is it to be-- both or neither?"
39018Whither have they led you?"
39018Who are we?"
39018Who are you?"
39018Who was the lunatic?
39018Why am I shut out of your life so?
39018Why are you hiding from me?"
39018Why do n''t you tell us?"
39018Why do you draw away?
39018Why do you not say''yes''?
39018Why have you asked me this?"
39018Why is it not here?
39018Why, Cis, how on earth came you to play up to that figure and with a man you know so little of?"
39018Why, what on earth would Fothergill think of us serving him such a trick as that?"
39018Why?
39018Why?
39018Why?"
39018Why?"
39018Will he have anything sent up?"
39018Will you come and speak to my wife?"
39018Will you come for a ride with me to- morrow?
39018Will you come with me?"
39018Will you follow us down?"
39018Will you go and see, Ferrier?"
39018Will you introduce us?"
39018Will you tell me your mother''s maiden name?"
39018Would I do him this favour or not?
39018Would I fetch them, and forward them to him at an address which he would give me, on condition that I gave him my word of honour to keep it secret?
39018Would Lady Langerdale allow me to call at your rooms to- morrow?"
39018You back?
39018You can put us in the sitting- room out of the way, ca n''t you?"
39018You can tell me her history?"
39018You can tell me, ca n''t you?"
39018You dine here, of course?"
39018You do n''t happen to remember her maiden name, do you?"
39018You have found him, then?"
39018You have n''t found out anything about old Hart, have you?
39018You have no objection, sir, I hope?"
39018You trust him thoroughly, I suppose?"
39018You understand me?
39018You understand me?"
39018You understand?"
39018You were saying something about a message?"
39018You will be ready?"
39018You will be surprised to hear that your mother has left you a considerable property?"
39018You will not object to give me your name, sir?"
39018You will remember what I have said?
39018You will trust me?"
39018You wo n''t mind a word of advice?"
39018You wo n''t mind that?"
39018You wo n''t walk across the park with me, I suppose, just to get an appetite for dinner?
39018You''re not in a hurry for breakfast for a few minutes, are you?"
39018Your mother is coming at last, then?"
39018Your name is Philip, is n''t it?
39018Your name is?"
39018he cried,"you here?
39018he does look rather white about the gills, does n''t he?
39018kill an insensible man?
41089A foreign language?
41089A friend of yours?
41089Against whom?
41089Against you?
41089Ah?
41089Am I to understand then that you refuse to help me-- that you will not see the Questore on my behalf?
41089And Lady Lolita?
41089And Logan? 41089 And Marie Lejeune?
41089And all this time Lolita was being blackmailed?
41089And his sister, the fair one-- Lady Lolita they call her-- is she married yet?
41089And if not?
41089And is pretty hard on poachers, I suppose?
41089And lose my five poun''? 41089 And now?"
41089And now?
41089And of what do you complain, pray?
41089And so you mean to place me in a very invidious position by telling tales to everybody?
41089And the Englishman-- what of him?
41089And the keyword was what?
41089And the police are utterly confounded?
41089And the woman Lejeune? 41089 And the woman?
41089And what are they?
41089And what did the woman say?
41089And what do you wish with me?
41089And what else?
41089And what happened last night?
41089And what have you discovered?
41089And what is your opinion?
41089And what occurred afterwards?
41089And what''s that?
41089And what, pray, does that concern the paper found in the dead man''s pocket?
41089And who''s been telling you this interesting untruth, pray?
41089And who''s here just now?
41089And whom have I murdered, pray?
41089And why have you come here, to me?
41089And yet you would protect such a woman-- even though she seek your downfall?
41089And you have, I suppose, threatened her, as you have me?
41089And you were able, I hope, to sustain the fiction until the end?
41089And you, woman!--What have you to reply to all this?
41089And you?
41089And young Lord Sibberton has come into the property-- eh? 41089 Any other questions to ask?"
41089Any questions to ask the doctor?
41089Anybody else I''m likely to know?
41089Anybody else?
41089Are they there now?
41089Are you aware of their names?
41089Are you certain of this? 41089 Are you certain?"
41089Are you not his?
41089Are you of opinion that they will form any substantial clue to the assassin?
41089Are you quite certain of that?
41089Are you quite certain that you recognise him?
41089Are you quite sure of that? 41089 Are you sure that Marigold''s friendship is only assumed?"
41089At least you know who the man was?
41089At risk of incriminating myself? 41089 But I do n''t understand?"
41089But Pink surely knows nothing about my connexion with those people?
41089But are you really certain that it was Richard Keene?--does Lolita know this?
41089But ca n''t you see how, in my position, that terrible affair is of greatest moment to my happiness and peace of mind?
41089But can I do nothing to help you-- absolutely nothing?
41089But do you really mean to act on my behalf, Mr Keene?
41089But had you no suspicion that she knew the truth?
41089But he did n''t strike you as a thief?
41089But how can you leave all these people?
41089But if Marigold can save you from this terrible fate that threatens you, why does she refuse?
41089But if the murder was not pre- arranged, why should they have taken possession of a dwelling that was not their own? 41089 But if you are aware of it, will you still conceal it though this woman is your enemy?
41089But is he really your enemy?
41089But is n''t she going to dine?
41089But may I not know something of this peril of yours?
41089But surely you told Lady Lolita that you were satisfied that the charge against her was a false one?
41089But surely,I cried,"the outlook is not so black as you anticipate?
41089But the cloak?
41089But the young lady?
41089But this man? 41089 But what am I to do?
41089But what connexion could Marigold or Logan have had with the affair?
41089But what do you fear, Lady Lolita?
41089But who can he be?
41089But why have you not spoken before? 41089 But would you have me condemn a woman even though she be my enemy?
41089But you are still hopeful?
41089But you have a theory?
41089But you must-- you hear?
41089But you will surely tell what you know?
41089But,I said,"will you pardon me, Lolita, if I remark upon one most peculiar circumstance?"
41089Can you tell me why he, a perfect stranger, wore upon his finger the portrait of Lady Lolita?
41089Dick what?
41089Did n''t know you were back?
41089Did she really say that?
41089Did they find anything else?
41089Did they? 41089 Did you know him?"
41089Do you actually affirm that we have never previously known each other?
41089Do you allege that I killed the woman?
41089Do you think George noticed my confusion when I opened the door and saw him here?
41089Does Redway say that?
41089Except what?
41089Excuse my being away, wo n''t you? 41089 For what reason?
41089For whom are they lying in wait?
41089Funny, is n''t it?
41089Had you done so that man''s life might perhaps have been saved-- who knows?
41089Has Marigold given you another list?
41089Have you any message for her ladyship?
41089Have you come far, sir?
41089Have you no theory regarding the murder of Hugh Wingfield?
41089He is in league with the others to encompass your ruin? 41089 He made no remark about the man found dead in the park?"
41089He means Haughmond Manor, I suppose?
41089He threatened you, of course?
41089He was dead, of course-- quite dead?
41089Him? 41089 His name-- why do you wish to ascertain that?"
41089How can I join you in this affair?
41089How can I live?
41089How can I save her, when I am in ignorance?
41089How can I sufficiently thank you? 41089 How could I recognise a person whom I had never seen before?"
41089How could I recognise the voice of a person unknown to me?
41089How did you find me here?
41089How do you know?
41089How do you know?
41089How do you know?
41089How do you mean?
41089How far is it to Northampton?
41089How is it that the police suspect a woman?
41089How long ago did you know him?
41089How long ago?
41089How long has he been here?
41089How long has her ladyship been back?
41089How long have I been here?
41089How? 41089 How?"
41089How?
41089How?
41089I mean that the cry was a man''s?
41089I suppose Doctor Pink has been exercising his talents in trying to discover the assassin?
41089I suppose Lady Lolita has told you something, then?
41089I suppose you intend to retaliate by making charges against my wife-- eh?
41089I suppose you read all about it in the papers?
41089I thought you said you heard a woman''s voice?
41089I want you to copy out something for me, will you?
41089I wonder who the injured girl is?
41089I wonder,he added,"and who is this man Keene who knows all about the Sibberton affair?
41089I would like, sir, to inquire whether Mr Woodhouse had any suspicion of the body having been searched before he discovered it?
41089In other words then the two women have betrayed me-- eh?
41089Incurred my hatred? 41089 Instead of gloating over your crime as you seem to be doing, would it not be better to try and establish your innocence?"
41089Is he such a very estimable person, then?
41089Is he such an enemy of yours?
41089Is his lordship hunting this morning?
41089Is it a proof of love and confidence to wring from a woman a name which is her secret alone?
41089Is it the action of a gentleman to utter all kinds of vague threats like this?
41089Is it wise to tell Redway what we''ve heard?
41089Is she here also?
41089Is there anything I can do?
41089Is your friendship so prone then to being influenced by every adverse wind that blows?
41089Is your secret such a terrible one that you fear to entrust it to me?
41089It seems that our meeting at Biffi''s was rather fortunate for you-- eh?
41089It was that which attracted you?
41089Knows her?
41089Let''s see,remarked the stranger reflectively at last,"if this is Sibberton, the old Earl of Stanchester lives here, I suppose?"
41089Lolita,I said at last in a soft, low voice,"are you aware of the terrible affair-- I mean the discovery in the park?"
41089Lolita,I whispered into her ear, just as we were about to enter the house,"whatever caused you to contemplate such a terrible step to- night?"
41089Lolita?
41089Marigold is still at home?
41089Named Logan-- is he not?
41089Not after this great service she has rendered to you? 41089 Of what?"
41089Oh!--not at all-- not at all?
41089Perhaps I acted unwisely in allowing them to slip through the fingers of the police?
41089Perhaps I had better leave you?
41089Peril? 41089 Recent?"
41089Redway will make inquiries, I suppose?
41089Shall I be detained long do you think?
41089Shall I speak openly?
41089Shall I tell you, Mr Woodhouse?
41089She appeared anxious to get away with the others?
41089She''s with her mother, of course?
41089Some accomplice?
41089Tell me?
41089That''s a queer customer?
41089The letter contained news that has filled you with serious apprehension, then?
41089The place is being watched, then?
41089The police!--do they know these facts?
41089The truth you refer to concerns Hugh Wingfield?
41089Then if he is not, Lolita, why did I find you walking with him in the wood on that morning-- I mean after the finding of the body of Hugh Wingfield?
41089Then if so, why not allow me to assist you in arming against these enemies of yours and against Marigold especially?
41089Then it was not the Englishwoman who was murdered?
41089Then she is implicated in this ugly affair as well as him?
41089Then she said nothing about Logan''s attack upon her?
41089Then the affair is as great a mystery as it ever was?
41089Then the reason they left Hayes''s Farm so suddenly was because they were in fear of you?
41089Then this man Logan is your enemy-- eh?
41089Then what woman?
41089Then why did n''t you tell me that before, my dear sir?
41089Then you also deny acquaintance with Hugh Wingfield, the poor young fellow who fell into the trap so cunningly set for him?
41089Then you refuse to tell the truth?
41089Then you still deny all knowledge of the affair?
41089Then you think he''ll leave very soon?
41089Then you think it unnecessary to place the matter in the hands of the Criminal Investigation Department?
41089Then you''re going to tell her?
41089Then, in a word, you refuse to relieve these ladies of your presence?
41089These footprints?
41089They gambled, you said, merely to kill time-- or for money?
41089They had no letters?
41089This man Logan has surely not refused to stand your friend?
41089This woman-- is she one of the conspirators?
41089Threats?
41089To speak to me? 41089 To you?
41089Too early for you-- eh? 41089 Under arrest-- for what?"
41089Want to see me, Willoughby?
41089Was she well enough to walk?
41089Was that found upon him?
41089Well, and what does her future concern me, pray?
41089Well, and what if it is?
41089Well, and what then?
41089Well, did you recollect what I told you?
41089Well,I exclaimed,"what is your advice?
41089Well,I said, raising her hand reverently to my lips as was my wo nt,"and what was the result of last night''s interview?"
41089Well?
41089Well?
41089What about visitors? 41089 What are you inducing him to do?"
41089What crime do you allege against Lady Lolita?
41089What do the police think?
41089What do you mean? 41089 What do you think such a fellow as Redway could discover, except perhaps it were a mug of beer hidden by a publican after closing- time?
41089What do you wish me to do?
41089What do you wish? 41089 What farm?"
41089What has happened to you?
41089What have they discovered?
41089What have you found upon the woman?
41089What have you to say?
41089What have you to say?
41089What is it?
41089What is known against them?
41089What is your theory? 41089 What kind of people live there?"
41089What time do you close?
41089What time elapsed between the hour when you heard the noise and the discovery of the tragic occurrence?
41089What''s the meaning of this?
41089What, I wonder, can be the end of his life with such a woman? 41089 What, has that fellow been talking-- surely not?"
41089What, is it a mystery or something?
41089What?
41089What?
41089What?
41089What?
41089What?
41089When does he come?
41089Where is the body? 41089 Who lives there?"
41089Who prevented them?
41089Who told you that-- I mean, what makes you suggest such a thing?
41089Who was he? 41089 Who''s that, pray?"
41089Whom do you mean?
41089Whom do you suppose attacked her?
41089Why did n''t you speak to the constable at Brigstock?
41089Why do n''t you take me further into your confidence, Lady Stanchester? 41089 Why do you wish to know?"
41089Why not admit this man Logan and let us consult together?
41089Why not speak more plainly-- tell me everything?
41089Why not?
41089Why should I? 41089 Why should I?"
41089Why, the thing''s absurd?
41089Why, what''s the matter with your head?
41089Why? 41089 Why?
41089Why?
41089Why?
41089Why?
41089Why?
41089Why?
41089Without money?
41089Wo n''t you sing us something?
41089You are a foreigner-- English?
41089You believe then that he is the guilty one?
41089You do n''t imply that I''m guilty of the murder, do you?
41089You do n''t know to what it refers?
41089You heard his cry?
41089You imply that he was Lolita''s lover?
41089You know his name?
41089You know his name?
41089You love her, I suppose?
41089You mean the man who was with you at early morning?
41089You saw no one?
41089You saw us?
41089You spend most of your time abroad?
41089You surely will not now withhold the truth?
41089You''ll have to prove that, What''s your name?
41089You''re sure you''ve never seen that young man before?
41089You''ve been out again very early-- eh?
41089Act as I have suggested, and,"she added with a catch in her voice,"remember that you alone stand between myself-- and death?"
41089And eyeing Logan with some surprise, he added,"Will you step this way?"
41089And had he not cleverly tricked me?
41089And how have you been all this time?"
41089And ourselves?
41089And the name of the beautiful Englishwoman?
41089And to- day?
41089And what occurred afterwards?
41089And who in Sibberton could possibly have any business with a foreigner?"
41089And yet who was I that I dared thus ally myself with heavenly beauty and terrestrial greatness?
41089And yet, was I not ennobled?
41089Are you acquainted?"
41089Are you all agreed?"
41089Are you aware of the conditions under which you were discovered?"
41089Are you positive there is no mistake, Willoughby?"
41089Are you?"
41089Besides yourself, who knows of his return?"
41089But can it be coward- like to spurn the certainty I have and fly to regions unexplored?
41089But do you think it will be to your advantage, Mr Woodhouse, to quarrel with me?"
41089But how?
41089But surely it could n''t have been a woman who killed him?"
41089But what is this you fear?"
41089But,"he added,"how are you going to prove yourself innocent?"
41089Could any situation be more perilous or annoying?
41089Could it be that that bowl of flowers had been placed in the window as a signal to him, and that he had disregarded it and come to her?
41089Could she have been referring to the tragedy in the park, do you think?"
41089Could such a woman be really guilty of a crime?
41089Could that be the actual truth?
41089Could you get one?"
41089Did I not wear within my heart the never- fading insignia of love, the qualifications of which were fervency and immutable truth?
41089Did she entertain, as I did, a grave suspicion of Lady Lolita?
41089Did she hold him in fear on that account?
41089Did she imply that she had written that secret message herself?
41089Did you discover anything in his pockets-- any letter-- or anything written in numbers-- a cipher?"
41089Did you notice how the fellow''s face changed when he saw her drive past?
41089Do n''t you remember, too, when Marigold held that bazaar in the drawing- room in aid of the Deep Sea Mission?
41089Do you happen to know her, sir?"
41089Do you hear me?"
41089Do you intend that her life shall actually be sacrificed?"
41089Do you think I ought?"
41089Do you understand me?"
41089Do you understand?"
41089Do you understand?"
41089Does that threat of hers convey anything to you?"
41089For what reason?
41089For whom could that signal be intended?
41089Got a cigarette?"
41089Had I done wrong in allowing the fellow to go to her alone?
41089Had she given it to him?
41089Had she placed those flowers there merely to give them air because the room was warm?
41089Has it ever occurred to you that feminine beauty in the higher circle of society is unfortunately, but very surely, deteriorating?
41089Have I so changed that you do n''t know me?
41089Have you ever heard any of your mysterious visitors mention the name of Lejeune?"
41089How can I help him?"
41089How could I determine her meaning?
41089How could I explore the labyrinth that surrounded her?
41089How could I in those circumstances?
41089How could I?"
41089How did you manage it?"
41089How shall we act?"
41089I held my breath, for had I not foolishly betrayed my presence to him on the previous night?
41089I inquired, whereupon he eyed me rather strangely, I thought, and asked--"You''re not a friend of theirs, I suppose?"
41089I paused a moment, half inclined to express my doubt openly, then said at last--"That letter-- what shall you do with it?"
41089I suppose it wo n''t take long to repeat, will it?"
41089I suppose she''s just as beautiful as ever?"
41089I tried to speak, but what could I say?
41089I wonder what those thieves want with her?
41089I wonder whether you would give me just a couple of minutes alone?
41089If it were Logan, then was it not probable that she was aware of the blow that had been dealt me?
41089If so, of what?
41089If this woman, in order to safeguard herself, refuses to speak, are there not other means by which the truth could be revealed?"
41089If, however, the expert failed to decipher what was written there, how could I hope to decipher it?
41089Is n''t she even engaged?"
41089Is that so?"
41089Keene as George''s friend!--never?"
41089May I see it?"
41089May I see them?"
41089Most extraordinary affair-- was n''t it?
41089Most extraordinary, is n''t it?"
41089Now, do you intend to speak and to save her; or will you still deny previous acquaintance with me and consequently all knowledge of the affair?
41089Now,"he added, taking another long pinch of snuff,"what do you make out of it, Woodhouse?"
41089Number ninety- eight Britten Street-- a Frenchwoman?
41089Of course you knew from George that we were here?"
41089Of what, I wondered, was she in fear?
41089Of what?
41089Or had he seized the fur garment of some other woman?
41089Or had she put them in the window as signal to some one in the street below?
41089Or if it could never be mine, why should I dash at once to earth the air- drawn vision of felicity?
41089Ought I to secure it?
41089Ought I to warn the Countess, I wondered?
41089Perhaps you''ve seen them?"
41089Peril of what?"
41089See after him, wo n''t you?
41089She has no pity and no remorse-- indeed what Frenchwoman has?"
41089She made no mention of the tragedy, and what, indeed, could I remark?
41089She seems highly nervous, and when alone always thinking very deeply, and-- and--""And what?"
41089Should I not, by placing her on her guard, ingratiate myself with her?
41089So you intend to give me away?"
41089Strange, ai n''t it?"
41089Surely you can rely upon my discretion?"
41089Tell him who I am, if you wish, but before doing so, is it not better to carefully consider all the eventualities?"
41089Tell me all about it?"
41089Tell me, is there any reason why he should be antagonistic towards her?"
41089Tell me?"
41089That I should incriminate myself?"
41089The Earl noticing the change in her, and how she shrank from us, looked from Keene to the stranger, and asked--"Well, sir?
41089The net seemed to be slowly spreading for Lolita, yet what could I do to prevent this tracking down of the woman I loved?
41089Then there is no mistake that the fellow is still alive?"
41089Then you did n''t recognise the voice?"
41089Then you wish me to assist you in preserving the secret?"
41089Then, having carefully examined the man''s right hand, he turned to me again, saying, as he pointed to it--"That''s strange, Woodhouse, is n''t it?"
41089Therefore, why should we shield her?"
41089They do n''t even know the poor fellow''s name, do they?"
41089Was Marigold the evil genius of the situation?
41089Was he also puzzled, like myself?
41089Was it because he knew her guilty secret?
41089Was it because of the sudden return of that rough seafarer, Richard Keene?
41089Was it guilt that was written so vividly upon her face, or was it the fierce desperation of an innocent woman hounded to her death?
41089Was it possible that Warr had already seen her and delivered the note and message from that mysterious stranger?
41089Was it possible that it had been stolen-- or had she made gift of it to him?
41089Was it possible that she, too, knew something of Lolita''s secret and, suspecting her, sought to divert suspicion from her?
41089Was it possible that the crisp paper so cunningly concealed in the lining of the waistcoat contained a clue?
41089Was it possible that the footprint was hers?
41089Was it possible that the poor young fellow had clutched at it in his dying grasp?
41089Was it possible that the stranger who had walked so far was none other than Richard Keene?
41089Was it right that I should remain silent and make no effort to rescue her from the doom which this man Keene declared must be hers?
41089Was it that I was actually kissing the hand that had committed murder?
41089Was it that she was trying to win me over to her side as her friend?
41089Was she English?"
41089Was she aware of the tragedy, I wondered?
41089Was she beneath the thrall of this adventurer?
41089Was she guilty?
41089Was she, I wondered, aware that the police were watching her house?
41089Was that, too, a subject which she dare not mention?
41089Was this broad- shouldered man her accomplice-- or perhaps her lover, that she should thus communicate with him in secret?
41089Was this man Logan the same person who had walked with Lolita when I had discovered her after the tragedy?
41089Was this some further development of the intrigue in which one man had already lost his life?
41089What about?"
41089What brought him to the park on that night?"
41089What can it mean?"
41089What causes you to anticipate that?"
41089What could I do?
41089What could I say?
41089What could she mean?
41089What could they be?
41089What did he tell you in private?"
41089What did that shudder mean?
41089What foolishness are you talking now?"
41089What is it?
41089What is it?"
41089What motive could Marigold and her friends have in her assassination?
41089What mystery had I discovered?
41089What of her?
41089What of him?"
41089What power did he possess over them?
41089What was the offence of the pair?"
41089What''s all that rot he says about finding a woman''s footprint there?
41089What''s the partridge season like?
41089What, I wondered, did the letter contain, sealed as it was with the arms of some noble house?
41089What, I wondered, did they contain?
41089Whatever brings you here-- what has happened at Sibberton?"
41089When you said good- bye to me and left the boat at Zanzibar, I never expected to see you again?"
41089Where can I go?
41089Where can I hide my miserable self?
41089Where can I see a copy?"
41089Where is she?"
41089Where was my crime in claiming a return for that already given?
41089Where?
41089Who are you?"
41089Who did it?''
41089Who is he?"
41089Who is she?"
41089Who is suspected?"
41089Who told you?"
41089Who was the murderer?
41089Who was this man Keene of whom both Lolita and Lady Stanchester were in such deadly fear?
41089Who''s coming?"
41089Whom has she refused?"
41089Whose house was it?"
41089Why against her?
41089Why can not we unite in a friendly manner?"
41089Why did he make that inquiry regarding Lolita, I wondered?
41089Why did n''t you warn me that you had recognised him?"
41089Why did they travel there in secret?
41089Why do n''t you explain your meaning?"
41089Why had the man come there in the guise of her husband''s friend?
41089Why, I wondered, had they gone there?
41089Why, I wondered, was that police officer lounging up and down keeping such a vigilant surveillance upon the place?
41089Why-- and how?
41089Why?
41089Why?
41089Why?
41089Why?"
41089Will you be ready at seven to go back there with me?"
41089Will you not allow me sight of it?"
41089Willoughby, save me-- you will, wo n''t you?
41089Yet if she were not guilty, why did the mere mention of the dead man''s name produce such an effect upon her?
41089Yet was it possible, I wondered, to efface every one?
41089You admitted to the police that you know her?"
41089You recollect that stranger who called and left the note for Lady Lolita last evening?
41089You, of course, believed the dead woman to be your friend, the English lady?"
41089` But, where''s George?''
41089` Where am I?''
41089cried the young Earl, springing from his chair as I entered,"what does this murder in the park last night mean?"
41089he''d been at sea, had he?"
41089her ladyship is at home, then?"
41089maybe you''ve been abroad-- to America?"
41089you are unaware of whose place it was?
42807A detective?
42807And Mr. Fensden, where did you leave him?
42807And am I to understand you to say that Mr. Fensden wrote to you from England for them? 42807 And did you see any one you knew while you were in town?"
42807And it is Teresina''s portrait that your friend would paint, signor?
42807And now that I come to think of it, why should n''t you come down with me? 42807 And now that you are at home once more, I presume you will resume your old habit of searching the slums for foreign eating houses?"
42807And now what can I do for you, my friend?
42807And so you are returning to England, signor?
42807And that is?
42807And what conclusions did you come to?
42807And what did he say to you?
42807And what did you discover there?
42807And what happened then?
42807And what is that?
42807And what is this? 42807 And what sort of journey did you have?"
42807And when did he return to England, for I understand he has been abroad until lately?
42807And when you opened the box, which you say was sent you at your country residence, were you not shocked at the discovery you made?
42807And when you returned to your hotel?
42807And where is she living?
42807And why did you not let me know that you were coming?
42807And why not? 42807 And would you care, as you said the other day, to go back to live in London?"
42807And you are alone in the world? 42807 And you are familiar with all the best makers, I suppose?"
42807And you gave her money, I suppose?
42807And you have enjoyed yourself?
42807And you killed at----?
42807And you must have drawn your own conclusions from it?
42807And your answer, Molly? 42807 And your mother, how is she?"
42807Are there any visitors?
42807Are they not always declaring that my principal fault lies in my being too vague? 42807 Are you aware that the signora is dead and that Teresina is married?"
42807Are you sure they are her hands?
42807At what place?
42807At what time did you see her?
42807But I thought he was tired of travelling, and that he had stated his desire never to see a foreign hotel again?
42807But do you think he will be able to prove my innocence?
42807But how am I to get home? 42807 But surely, my good sir,"put in Sir Vivian,"you do not for a moment suppose that Mr. Henderson will be accused of having killed this woman?"
42807But that was the night on which we were at the theatre together?
42807But what has the county magnate to do with the question at issue?
42807But what is to be done with my own poor beast?
42807But who could have placed it behind the bookcase, if you did not?
42807But who is the man?
42807But why can not it be settled at once? 42807 But you drove to the house in a cab?"
42807But, confound it, Victor, you do n''t mean to say that you take no more interest in Teresina''s fate than this? 42807 By the way,"said the detective, before he left,"do you remember whether this man Onslow received any letters while he was staying with you?"
42807Did I understand you to say that Mr. Fensden gave these cigarettes to your brother?
42807Did he not give his name?
42807Did not that strike you as being singular?
42807Did the conversation refer to the deceased?
42807Did you know that Mr. Henderson was aware of the deceased''s return to Naples?
42807Did you say anything to him upon the subject?
42807Did you take a cab?
42807Do n''t you understand that we can not bring forward our witnesses until the proper moment arrives?
42807Do they always squabble like this?
42807Do you really wish it?
42807Do you remember how and where we met Teresina?
42807Do you think that was wise?
42807Does it say when the inquest will be held?
42807From Teresina?
42807Genuine or not?
42807Good Heavens, man, what is the matter?
42807Good Heavens, man,said Godfrey, starting from his seat,"you do n''t surely mean to say that you believe I had married her?"
42807Griffin promised to communicate with you at once on receipt of any intelligence, did he not?
42807Had you known this, would you have endeavoured to dissuade him from such a course?
42807Have I not told you there is nothing to tell? 42807 Have you any other reason for supposing that except the post- mark on the envelope?"
42807Have you ever seen that knife before?
42807Have you gone mad?
42807He is the gentleman who gave the damaging evidence against you on Monday, is he not?
42807How are you, my dear old fellow?
42807How could you forget? 42807 How do you do, Lady Devereux?"
42807How do you do, Miss Kitty? 42807 How is it that you are here, signor?"
42807How is she? 42807 How long did witness and the deceased occupy the house at Laleham?"
42807How long did you run?
42807How should I be likely to?
42807How so?
42807I am; but how do you know it?
42807I do n''t know the name, do you, Kitty?
42807I gathered as much from his photograph,she answered, taking it up and looking at it again,"At what time does he arrive to- day?"
42807I hope, sir, in telling you all this, I''ve been doing no harm?
42807I know the poise of that head is not quite what it might be, but have n''t I promised you that I''ll alter it to- morrow? 42807 I think you said this morning that the night porter let you in at your hotel?
42807I want to know how long you have known your friend?
42807I want you to tell me if you can who are the makers of these cigarettes, and whether they can be obtained in England?
42807I wonder if, some day, you would let me paint you a little picture?
42807I wonder what she will be like?
42807I wonder who she can be?
42807I wonder who she can be?
42807If he is, just tell him, my lad, that I should like to speak to him, will you?
42807If you feel as if you would like to return, why do you not do so?
42807In return, perhaps, you will instruct me in the ways of the Midlandshire hunt?
42807In that case she must have returned to England?
42807In that case what am I to do?
42807In that case, will you make me a promise, Teresina? 42807 In the meantime what are we to do with these poor relics?"
42807In the meantime,said Godfrey,"I suppose you will permit me to say good- bye to my family?
42807Is it a joke you''re bringing me here to- night, or have you some definite object in view?
42807Is it any use my again asking you to tell me your trouble?
42807Is it any use my imploring you to confide in me? 42807 Is this man a friend of yours?"
42807It certainly seems singular,said the latter;"but why should not the ring have been purchased in Naples, even if it were of Austrian make?"
42807It is cold and wet in England now; and do you remember how the studio chimney smoked?
42807It is quite true,he answered;"but how did you hear of it?"
42807It is too horrible,he said;"but what does it mean?
42807It is twenty years since you were at Kew, William; how can you possibly remember what the palm- house is like?
42807Look here, Godfrey, ca n''t you see the position for yourself? 42807 Lor'', I_ do_ hope, sir, there''s nothing wrong?"
42807May I ask the nature of this particular one?
42807Miss Devereux?
42807Molly, Molly,he faltered,"what does this mean?
42807Mr. Jacob Burrell?
42807Murdered, sir? 42807 My dear Godfrey, are you aware that you will have one wife in a hundred?"
42807My wife?
42807Nothing at all, thank you,he answered,"unless I might ask you for a cigarette?"
42807Now the question to be decided is, what shall I do next?
42807Now, sir, that box, in which the hands were sent, had you ever seen it before?
42807Now, tell me, would you prefer to see your room first?
42807On hearing that she was married, did you not inquire the name of her husband?
42807On making this terrible discovery, what was your immediate action?
42807On what day did you yourself reach London?
42807Once more, what are we to do?
42807Perhaps you can tell me when he obtained his last consignment from you?
42807Pray how long did the happy couple remain with you?
42807So he had a foreign wife, had he?
42807Surely you must be jesting to talk like this?
42807Teresina, my dear child, are you telling me the truth?
42807Teresina,he said,"why did you not tell me that you were married?
42807That you will not leave this house without first letting me know whither you are going?
42807That''s all very well,said the boy with an assurance beyond his years,"but how am I to do it if I do n''t know your name?
42807Then you took her home?
42807They surely do n''t think that I know anything more about it than I have said?
42807To England?
42807To be married?
42807To whom does it belong?
42807To whom? 42807 Vat is dat you vant mit me?"
42807Was he in love with her, do you think?
42807We shall see you to- morrow, I suppose?
42807Well, Godfrey, and what sort of a day have you had?
42807Well, Mr. Henderson,said Mr. Codey,"what is your opinion now?"
42807Well, my dear boy,said Mrs. Henderson,"what have you to tell us?
42807Well, now that you have seen the portrait, what do you think of him?
42807Well?
42807What can I do for you?
42807What can I tell you?
42807What can have happened? 42807 What caused you to recognise her hands?"
42807What did I tell you?
42807What do you mean by that? 42807 What do you mean by that?
42807What do you think of it?
42807What does it mean?
42807What does this mean? 42807 What have you been doing since I saw you?"
42807What if I wanted to do you a good turn, and by asking you to come here to- night were able to help you in your work?
42807What if I_ had_ an object?
42807What is it I am to promise?
42807What is it, Godfrey? 42807 What is it?
42807What is that?
42807What is this particular question?
42807What new virtue have you discovered in her?
42807What on earth does this mean? 42807 What on earth is the matter now?"
42807What possible reason could he have for doing me such an injury?
42807What was that conversation?
42807When did he go?
42807When did you become aware of the deceased''s return to England?
42807When did you next see the prisoner?
42807When you came home from Egypt, did you make any purchases in Naples?
42807When you had traced the witness and the deceased to Vienna, what did you do?
42807Where is the horse?
42807Where is the nearest place at which these cigarettes can be obtained?
42807Who could have done it? 42807 Who is it?"
42807Why could n''t they settle it at once?
42807Why did the deceased so suddenly lose her employment?
42807Why on earth did n''t you tell me that it was hidden there?
42807Why should I not have done so?
42807Why should n''t you?
42807Why should you doubt me?
42807Why should you have bothered yourself about me?
42807Why was it Mr. Henderson suddenly made up his mind to go abroad?
42807Will you allow me to accompany you? 42807 Will you be pleased to step inside?"
42807Will you come with me?
42807Will you take pity upon a stranger in the land?
42807Would you care to see it?
42807You are quite sure that you are not anxious to change your mind?
42807You are quite sure that you''d know the man again?
42807You are quite sure there is nothing else you would like to have done?
42807You are quite sure there is nothing else you would like?
42807You are quite sure, I suppose, that she was not married when you met her at Naples?
42807You are sure that Mr. Henderson was attached to the deceased?
42807You do n''t look very well, sir,he said, sympathetically;"is there anything I can do for you?"
42807You have communicated with Scotland Yard, of course?
42807You have heard me talk of old Henderson of Detwich?
42807You have heard nothing more, I suppose?
42807You have never had any experience of London life, William, so how can you possibly tell?
42807You have no idea, I suppose, of the origin of the trouble?
42807You know when the trial comes off?
42807You like her?
42807You must surely remember that you promised to do so?
42807You parted where?
42807You saw her on Thursday night?
42807You say that you returned to your hotel immediately after your interview with the deceased?
42807You say_ another_ entanglement with her? 42807 You still believe in me, Sir Vivian?"
42807You surely do n''t suppose that I am falling in love with Teresina-- with my model?
42807You think that you could manage him better than I?
42807You were naturally very much surprised to hear that he had met her, I suppose?
42807You were standing under the lamp- post, of course, when you paid him, with the light shining full upon your face?
42807You will do so on Saturday,Godfrey replied,"for I presume you are coming down to me then?"
42807You''re quite sure of that?
42807Your father''s brother? 42807 Your husband dead, and your mother dead too?"
42807Your mind is made up?
42807Yourself? 42807 _ En route_ to England?"
42807A short silence followed; then Fensden said:"If you had money what would you do?"
42807Ai n''t a thought reader, am I?"
42807Am I mad or dreaming?"
42807Am I right in so supposing?"
42807Am I to understand that that was really so?"
42807And did you like the poetry?"
42807And now shall we go downstairs?"
42807And so the pretty model is married?
42807And so, Mr. Henderson, you have the misfortune to be connected with it?
42807Are we, therefore, to understand that there had been an entanglement before?"
42807Are you going to hunt?"
42807Are you quite sure of it?"
42807Are you so blind that you can not see that this girl is falling every day more deeply in love with you?
42807As he picked it up and continued his toilet, he said in surprise:"Teresina in London?
42807But how can we prove it?
42807But surely the great picture sold well?"
42807But what makes you suddenly so solemn?"
42807But what makes you think that Teresina is unhappy?"
42807By the way, Godfrey, have you decided who is going to be your best man?"
42807Ca n''t you see, man, how badly I need it?"
42807Can not you look at it in the same light as I do?
42807Can you not give us even a grain of hope to comfort us?
42807Can you realize, dearest, that in ten days''time we are to be married?"
42807Codey?"
42807Could you convince a jury that it was?
42807Did she enjoy the play you took her to see?"
42807Did you make any remark to him respecting the time?"
42807Did you recognise the-- the hands?"
42807Do n''t you believe me?"
42807Do they look forward to the idea of turning out?"
42807Do you know that on Thursday night I met Teresina in the Strand?"
42807Do you know that several ladies, great ladies in England, said that they would give anything to be so beautiful?
42807Do you know that this morning I saw Mr. Codey, your lawyer, for the first time?
42807Do you like the picture?"
42807Do you remember the little place where I first saw you?
42807Do you think that that man had anything to do with the crime?"
42807Do you think the driver would know you again?"
42807Does that meeting look like an accidental one?
42807Eligible young men were scarce in the neighbourhood, and if she dreamt dreams of her own who shall blame her?
42807Every day der is somebody come and say''Where is dot room?''
42807Fensden?"
42807Fensden?"
42807Fensden?"
42807Forgive me, old fellow, wo n''t you?"
42807God knows, this is the crisis of my life, and to whom should I turn in my sorrow, if not to the woman I love, and whom I know loves me?
42807Godfrey inquired, when the other had tossed off his refreshment,"or shall we join the ladies?"
42807Had he had your interests at heart, would he have been so callous?
42807Have you been able to arrive at any understanding of it?"
42807Have you forgotten a little discussion we had together, and which eventually resulted in our leaving England for a time?
42807Have you read the account of the inquest in the papers?"
42807He glanced at Godfrey''s face, and said, as if in inquiry:"Anything the matter?
42807He paused for a while to pursue his own thoughts, then he continued aloud,"Have you any idea where they went after they left here?"
42807Henderson?"
42807Henderson?"
42807Henderson?"
42807Henderson?"
42807Henderson?"
42807Henderson?"
42807How do you feel now?"
42807How long have you been in England?"
42807How long have you been in London?"
42807How was he to know that Teresina was lying in a dead faint upon the studio floor?
42807How was he to know that for many weeks past she had been eating her heart out for love of him?
42807I did not buy a knife in Cairo, so how could I have brought one home with me?"
42807I feel, in a measure, responsible, do n''t you see?
42807I mean, the friends who were in the habit of dropping into your studio pretty frequently, to smoke their pipes, and perhaps to take a friendly glass?"
42807I should like you, before we go any further, to tell me honestly whether, in your own heart, you believe me to be innocent or guilty?"
42807I suppose I can rely upon your information being correct?
42807I suppose I shall be allowed to take them?"
42807I suppose it is not necessary to ask if you will be there?"
42807I suppose you do not intend making her your wife?"
42807I thought she was still in Naples?"
42807I trust she is well?"
42807I wonder what he would say if he could see me now?
42807If I did not, my love would scarcely be worth having, would it?"
42807If he would have killed you, why should he not have killed her?
42807In the course of that investigation did you visit Naples?"
42807In the old house?"
42807Is he a clever man?"
42807Is it a case of murder, or what?
42807Is it possible for you to be more explicit?"
42807Is it quite fair, do you think, to let it go on?"
42807Is that not so?"
42807Is there any one you suspect?"
42807Is there anything about the box that will afford a clew as to the identity of the sender?
42807Is your cab waiting, or shall I order one of my own carriages to take us?"
42807It is agreed, therefore, that we meet at the railway station to- morrow morning and go up to town together?"
42807May I ask you to rest content with that?
42807May I tell Miss Devereux what you say?"
42807Might I be so bold, sir, as to ask what it says?"
42807Now who could have been smoking cigarettes up here?
42807Now, how does it come about that a girl living in Naples should be married with an Austrian wedding- ring?
42807On what sort of terms was Mr. Fensden himself with the girl in question?"
42807Once more I ask you, did you recognise what you saw?"
42807Onslow?"
42807Promise me that you will never mention such a thing again?
42807Raikes,''said he,''want to send a telegram at once, who can take it for me?''
42807Raikes?"
42807Should he go back to his hotel and to bed, or should he stroll on to his club and see who was there?
42807Surely you would wish me to be civil to the girl, and try to make her work as pleasant as possible for her?
42807Tell me, Mr. Henderson, did you ever, under any sort of circumstance, make love, or suggest love, to the woman who is now deceased?"
42807That is correct, I suppose?"
42807That the girl was in serious trouble, he had not the least doubt; but since she would not allow him to assist her in any form, what could he do?
42807Then he added politely:"I hope Miss Devereux is well?"
42807Then with his usual abruptness, he continued,"Which way did you walk from Burford Street?"
42807There could n''t be anything plainer than that, could there?"
42807There is nothing else you wish to see me about, I suppose, gentlemen?"
42807Those hands were hers, were they not?
42807Was it just possible that he would be able to head the horse off from the pit?
42807Were n''t they married when they arrived?"
42807What I want to know is, was the young woman ever in Vienna?"
42807What can you say to me?"
42807What do you say now?"
42807What do you think?"
42807What enemy had he who hailed from Vienna?
42807What had he done to deserve this cruel fate?
42807What is it?"
42807What is the end of it all to be?
42807What of him?"
42807What she really meant was:"Do you think we shall be able to hunt to- morrow?
42807What was more probable than that he should wish to have the other woman out of the way before he could do so?
42807What was the reason of this sudden change?
42807What was the result?"
42807What''s the matter now?"
42807What, therefore, was more fitting than that he should catch the 10.18 train at Detwich, and set off for the Metropolis?
42807What_ do_ you know?"
42807Whatever will you do with yourself?"
42807When do you leave?"
42807When do you think she will next honour you with her society?"
42807When his own little world believed in him so implicitly, how could the greater world be so censorious?
42807When you left her in Burford Street, did you meet any one near the house?"
42807Where are you living?
42807Where did you find?"
42807Where did you meet her?"
42807Where did you see that knife before?"
42807Where is it you desire to take me?"
42807Who are you that you ask me that I should to you show it?"
42807Why are you here?
42807Why did he not go on?
42807Why must it be the day after to- morrow?
42807Why not come with me as far as Port Said, and catch the steamer for Jaffa there?"
42807Why not to yourself?"
42807Why should n''t I marry a girl who is fond of travelling?"
42807Why should not you and your mother dine with me, and go there afterward?
42807Why should the murderer have sent the hands to me in this dreadful way?"
42807Why should you not go on and finish the tour by yourself?
42807Why were they not happy?"
42807Why, therefore, was he brought so low?
42807Why?
42807Why?
42807Will you agree to that?"
42807Will you forgive me, dear?"
42807Will you forgive me?"
42807Will you look, or shall I?"
42807Will you not confide in me and tell me everything?"
42807Would it be indiscreet if I inquired your correspondent''s name?"
42807You believe me, do n''t you?"
42807You do n''t mean to say you think I''m such a beast as to encourage her?"
42807You have seen Mr. Fensden, of course?"
42807You will excuse my saying so, I hope, sir?"
42807You, Godfrey?"
42807_ Scylla or Charybdis?_ By R. BROUGHTON.
42807he said,"and give me some information?"
42807he thought to himself,"will he suspect me also?"
42807what is a woman of her class doing with such hands?
42807you surely do n''t mean that?"
43584A big city is grand, is n''t it?
43584A detective?
43584About somebody''s Christmas present? 43584 And did you enjoy your dinner?"
43584And does everybody call you by both names?
43584And were the other watches stolen the same day?
43584And were there any transients here at that time?
43584And what became of the girls?
43584And what good will your career be to you then?
43584And what is its name?
43584And you believed her?
43584And you could go home?
43584Anything gone?
43584Are the Weinbergers still here?
43584Are there any empty houses she might have rented?
43584Are you a guest at the hotel, miss?
43584Are you responsible for this?
43584Are you sure you''re all right?
43584Because we''re such pretty girls?
43584But I do n''t have to write my name in my books the minute I get them, do I?
43584But how did you get out of that house?
43584But how did you happen to have the key, Margaret?
43584But if Mrs. Ferguson really is a crook, why should she write all her plans to a prisoner, when she would know that the letter would be censored?
43584But she feels encouraged since you found two of the thieves, does n''t she?
43584But what are you going to do?
43584But what finally led you to suspect her?
43584But where is she?
43584But why should she hide? 43584 But why?"
43584But with that change at the Junction, we''d have to wait all night, should n''t we, Daddy?
43584But you did n''t lose anything, did you?
43584But you really do n''t think you''ll do dangerous things again, do you, Mary Lou?
43584Can I have your help?
43584Can I help you?
43584Can I see you tonight?
43584Can we go now, Constable?
43584Can we have a doctor immediately?
43584Can you climb that hill, Max?
43584Can you get me a photographer?
43584Can you imagine me-- one lone fellow-- in that dining room full of dames? 43584 Can you take me to the constable?
43584Could I see the manager?
43584Could n''t we break in?
43584Could n''t you arrest her?
43584Could we take a mechanic to fix my car, too?
43584Could you describe her?
43584Did he have a gun?
43584Did n''t Margaret say anything in her letter about how she was getting on or what she was doing?
43584Did n''t Mrs. Ferguson tell you?
43584Did n''t she send her address?
43584Did n''t you write to her?
43584Did she give you a salary?
43584Did she hear from her daughter?
43584Did that man open the door for you?
43584Did you advertise?
43584Did you fellows really get it?
43584Did you get your salary-- your twenty- five bucks?
43584Did you girls ever meet a girl named Margaret Detweiler, from Riverside? 43584 Did you have a good time, dear?"
43584Did you have a good time?
43584Did you search for the burglar in her room too?
43584Did you see anybody?
43584Did you talk to Miss Stoddard?
43584Do n''t you want to think it over another day? 43584 Do you feel nervous after last night?
43584Do you mean to say that you did steal, Margaret?
43584Do you still have the envelope?
43584Do you think the snow''s packed hard enough?
43584Do you think there''s any chance of your getting home for Christmas?
43584Do you think you''ll be back tonight?
43584Do you want the names of the maids?
43584Does she know that you suspect her daughter, Mary Louise?
43584Does she play?
43584Even her own mother''s watch?
43584Had n''t we better go back to my house, where it''s warm, till your car is fixed, Miss Gay?
43584Has anything been stolen since their arrival?
43584Has anything happened since I left?
43584Have you ever stayed at Stoddard House before?
43584Have you seen the girls-- Pauline Brooks and Mary Green?
43584Here? 43584 How about Miss Stoddard?"
43584How about my money?
43584How are you? 43584 How are you?"
43584How can I tell them what has happened? 43584 How did her mother take it?"
43584How did they get the money-- it was five hundred dollars, was n''t it?--so soon?
43584How did you know I''d be so glad to see you?
43584How did you know, Mary Lou?
43584How did your entertainment go?
43584How many watches?
43584How much do you charge?
43584How old a woman is she?
43584How''s the head?
43584I suppose Mrs. Hilliard told you?
43584I suppose it will be all right, then,agreed Mrs. Hilliard reluctantly...."What are your immediate plans, dear?"
43584I understand you want to ask me about Miss Detweiler?
43584I----"You been in the house now?
43584If Hortense Weinberger really is married,said Mary Louise,"do n''t you suppose her mother will hear about it tomorrow?
43584In the hotel? 43584 Is Center Square far away?"
43584Is Miss Brooks here?
43584Is Mr. Hayden here?
43584Is n''t that where you got that blow on your head?
43584Is she any relation of the founder?
43584Is that what you came here for, Max Miller?
43584Is there a Mrs. Ferguson staying here?
43584Is this the stamp album?
43584Is your aunt''s place at Center Square?
43584It''s all right now, is n''t it, Daddy?
43584Mary Lou,he asked,"you''re not doing any more detective stuff, are you?
43584Mary Louise, could you do an errand for me? 43584 Max and Norman?"
43584May I go to the hotel with you?
43584May I offer my congratulations?
43584May I sit with you, Miss Gay?
43584Meet me here in an hour?
43584Men are helpful sometimes, are n''t they?
43584Mrs. Ferguson-- is she in jail too?
43584Must we use handcuffs?
43584Never at Stoddard House?
43584Now the great question is: would you want to give up your holiday for this purpose? 43584 Now, can you tell me just what was stolen?"
43584Now, what do you want a photographer for?
43584Now, what will your plans be for tomorrow?
43584Of course, it will be late, but I''ll give you your other present first, so you would n''t mind that, would you, Mary Lou?
43584Oh, Mary Lou, did you take them?
43584Oh, how can I ever thank you enough?
43584Or have you an appointment?
43584Ready, Daddy?
43584Recently?
43584Sha n''t I ask the Walder girls to take you along? 43584 Shall I?"
43584She never came back here to Stoddard House?
43584She owes you money?
43584She was n''t home all summer, was she, Mother?
43584Somebody had''planted''it there?
43584Suppose I go there about midnight, Miss Gay? 43584 The boys there yet?"
43584This it?
43584To collect damages?
43584Want to see the gang''s picture?
43584Was a Mrs. Brooks staying here at the time?
43584Was she sent to prison?
43584Well, we''ll see.... Now, do n''t you think you had better go to bed?
43584Were you asleep, sir?
43584Were you out at Center Square last Sunday, Margaret?
43584What are you going to do now?
43584What are you going to do with all that money, Sis?
43584What can I do for you today?
43584What could I do with her if I did find her?
43584What did you do?
43584What do you say we dance?
43584What do you say, Hayden?
43584What do you say, Mary Lou? 43584 What guy?"
43584What happened?
43584What in thunder are you doing that for?
43584What is her name?
43584What is the trouble, my girl?
43584What name, please?
43584What store was she working in? 43584 What time is it now, I wonder?"
43584What time is it, anyway?
43584What time is it?
43584What were theirs like?
43584What would your plan be, Miss Gay?
43584What''s that?
43584When did you first miss the money?
43584When would I start?
43584Where are we, Max?
43584Where did they go?
43584Where do you expect to look for the leader of this gang?
43584Where is the hotel, Daddy?
43584Where was the letter postmarked?
43584Where were you, Ida, when I sent for you?
43584Where''s that?
43584Where? 43584 Where?"
43584Who do you think did all the stealing, Miss Stoddard?
43584Who is it?
43584Who is your daughter?
43584Who was he, Margaret?
43584Who-- are-- you?
43584Whom do I thank for this?
43584Why could n''t you plan to go with her?
43584Why the rush?
43584Will you bring your knitting or your magazine to my room till you''re ready to go to bed?
43584Will you stay here with me while I eat my dinner, Mary Louise?
43584Will you suggest something youthful?
43584Will you take charge of it till I can bring my father up to get it? 43584 Would n''t you ever tell on me?"
43584Would you be good enough to take care of Mary Louise-- introduce her to any of the other guests who come in-- Miss Brooks? 43584 Would you be kind enough to ring him up and ask him to come here while I eat my lunch in the dining room?
43584Would you have last year''s register?
43584You do n''t eat at your house before six- thirty, do you?
43584You do n''t want to break up the party, do you?
43584You have n''t any idea where Margaret went-- or what she did?
43584You have n''t evidence enough to convict them of the robberies at Stoddard House?
43584You have never come across a girl named Margaret Detweiler, have you, Miss Horton?
43584You heard that my daughter is married, Miss Gay?
43584You mean besides last night?
43584You mean that they''ll drive down for us?
43584You mean you want to go home, Mary Louise?
43584You never heard anything about those watches, did you?
43584You one of Mrs. Ferguson''s girls?
43584You remember her, do n''t you?
43584You saw me come out of that pawnshop yesterday, did n''t you, Miss Gay?
43584You think that young man is guilty? 43584 You''ll go to the senior prom with me?"
43584You''ll leave the solving of mysteries and crimes to your father hereafter, wo n''t you?
43584You''re a schoolgirl?
43584You''re home to stay, darling?
43584You''re not going to follow me everywhere I go, are you?
43584You-- are-- going to arrest me?
43584All those engagements you have-- all the fun you have planned with your young friends?
43584An accident?"
43584And another thing, can you tell me where Mrs. Weinberger''s room is?
43584And for what?
43584And if you have a chance, Mr. Hayden, will you keep your eye on these girls we''re suspecting?"
43584And perhaps you brought your knitting?"
43584And what was the date?"
43584And will you please let me pay the bill-- out of my salary?
43584Are they all members of a secret band of thieves?
43584Are you alive?"
43584Are you alive?"
43584Are you very busy?"
43584Are you willing to try it?"
43584Baltimore is tiresome, and I''ll be glad to leave.__ Love,__ Aunt Ethel._"May I make another copy of this letter?"
43584But do you really think it would do you any good to go there?
43584But have n''t you had enough, little girl?
43584But shall we be in time?"
43584But what will you do at the Ritz, Daddy?"
43584But why did you ask that, Mary Lou?"
43584CHAPTER X_ In the Dead of Night_"How about a movie?"
43584Christmas Day alone in a strange city?
43584Could she have gone to the movies with any of the girls, do you think?"
43584Could you ask her to spare me a minute or two?"
43584Could you be watching then?"
43584Did a young woman named Margaret Detweiler ever register here?"
43584Did n''t you tell me the employment manager promised not to send her to jail?"
43584Did you ever hear of that store?"
43584Did you question her about Ida''s story?"
43584Did you see the man, Miss Stoddard?"
43584Do you know where he lives?"
43584Do you play, Mary Lou?"
43584Do you think that would be too much trouble?"
43584Doing what?"
43584Gay, turning to his daughter,"did this aunt of Pauline''s live when she was in Philadelphia?"
43584Gay?"
43584Had someone come in?
43584Have n''t I been pretty good all fall?
43584Have you any in Center Square?"
43584Have you anything valuable here?"
43584Have you told Mother yet?"
43584Hayden?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584How about you, Mary Lou?"
43584How could she possibly get to know so many people in the short space of two weeks and hope to find the thief?
43584How did it happen?"
43584How did you ever come to suspect those girls?"
43584How do you feel?"
43584How do you like this weather for your vacation?"
43584How is your head now?"
43584How stupid of me.... Well, could you tell me whether any ladies''watches have been pawned here since midnight last night?"
43584I thought you were at the Ritz?"
43584I''ll get an Ingersoll tomorrow when I''m in town.... Now, what time is it?"
43584If everything had turned out all right, why had n''t Margaret written to her grandparents?
43584If she refused, might n''t he knock her down?
43584If she were behaving herself, would n''t she have written to her grandparents?
43584If so, how did he escape from the hotel?
43584In what other country would they detain innocent girls?__ Baltimore is where I am now, but I am leaving immediately for a trip to Florida.
43584In what other country would they detain innocent girls?__ Baltimore is where I am now, but I am leaving immediately for a trip to Florida.
43584Is Miss Weinberger''s friend like that?"
43584Is it?
43584Is n''t there something she left that I could take over to her, to use for an excuse?"
43584Is that O.K.?"
43584Is that correct?"
43584It knocked you out.... Now, can you manage to walk up to the hotel, or shall I carry you?"
43584It''s pretty good, do n''t you think?"
43584Looking me over and snickering at the way I wear my hair or tie my shoes?
43584Macgregor?"
43584Macgregor?"
43584Max, could we go to the Bellevue for lunch?
43584May I come in, Miss Stoddard?"
43584May we come in?"
43584Now what in the world could she do?
43584Now-- what would you say to a dance while we wait for our first course?"
43584Oh, what on earth could she do?
43584Oh, why had n''t she rushed down to see who was doing it?
43584Or do you want a typewriter?"
43584Out of Pauline''s window?
43584Remember-- I thought it was a man who stole my watch, though he did seem awfully small?
43584She''s been terribly worried, Mary Lou.... And shall I tell her that we''ll eat Christmas dinner with her at Stoddard House?"
43584So will you go back with me and arrest him, Constable Hodge?"
43584Solved your mystery yet?"
43584The solution seemed logical and plausible, yet how, Mary Louise asked herself, could she prove her accusations?
43584The startled voice of a man called out,"What do you want?"
43584There is n''t anybody by that name around here, is there?"
43584Was Margaret Detweiler connected with this gang?
43584Was it the Margaret whom Mrs. Ferguson had mentioned in her letter, or was it the woman herself?
43584Was n''t it funny, she mused, that the very first guest she had met at Stoddard House had been the guilty person?
43584Was n''t she just being terribly foolish to stay here in Philadelphia, missing all those good times?
43584Was one of those young men whom Pauline was dining with today an accomplice?
43584Was there a letter from this Mrs. Ferguson, or did she merely send the money?"
43584Was this country place at Center Square, and was that woman whom Mary Louise had seen in the dark Pauline''s aunt?
43584Was"Margaret"here, or had the police come to arrest Mary Louise for housebreaking?
43584Weinberger?"
43584Well, that''s an honest living, is n''t it?"
43584What could have happened to her?
43584What does she call herself?"
43584What happened then?"
43584What happened?"
43584What next?"
43584What time does the club meet?"
43584What would Christmas be without eating?"
43584What''s the nearest room you can give me?"
43584Where could he have vanished to?"
43584Where did Mrs. Weinberger go?"
43584Where does the postmaster live?
43584Where is it?"
43584Where was her father?
43584Where was the noise coming from?
43584Who else was there?"
43584Who was the intruder?
43584Who was this Mrs. Ferguson, and why had she done this kindness for an unknown girl?
43584Whoever it was, was he or she armed with a revolver?
43584Whom shall we get for a fourth?
43584Why had n''t he driven out here to Center Square when he returned to Stoddard House last night-- and had found her missing?
43584Why had n''t she come here before breakfast, since she knew from Mr. Hayden last night that the girls had telegraphed a request for the money?
43584Why had n''t she gotten the names of those girls from Mrs. Hilliard''s old register?
43584Why had n''t she thought of that explanation before?
43584Why had n''t she thought of that plan before?
43584Will you submit peacefully, Mrs. Ferguson, or must we call in the police?"
43584Will you write to her?
43584Will you write to her?
43584Will you?"
43584Wo n''t you go, dear?
43584Would it be too much trouble to look her up in your files?
43584Would it be worth it to you?"
43584Would n''t it be too wonderful?
43584Would n''t somebody miss her and come to her rescue?
43584Would n''t you want us to do everything in our power to get it back for you?"
43584Would that be time enough-- or do you want it now?"
43584Yet if she complied with his demand and let him see the roll of bills, what would prevent his stealing them all at once?
43584You do n''t suppose my parents would allow me to leave high school and take a regular job when I''m only sixteen, do you?
43584You''re sure it was a man, Mary Louise?"
38131''Spencerian Peter,''eh?
38131A figure- four trap, eh?
38131A rev''nue agent?
38131About two weeks before Gerard did?
38131Across the table from you? 38131 All well and good, Chief,"he commented,"but how would the army help you any?
38131Allison or the Norcross girl?
38131Alone?
38131An accident?
38131And I''m the one who''s got to handle it?
38131And Miss Lang?
38131And keep him under constant surveillance? 38131 And she pays you for your time in between?"
38131And the seal was intact when you came in yesterday afternoon?
38131And what time did Mrs. Prentice leave?
38131And who got the credit for solving the puzzle?
38131And yet,said Preston,"I understand that in spite of his precautions he was killed last night?"
38131And you''ve told me all the truth-- every bit of it?
38131Anita?
38131Any chance of recovering the body?
38131Any comment about the package?
38131Any mail?
38131Any phone messages?
38131Any women in sight?
38131Anyone I know?
38131Anyone present that you suspect of forgery or beating his wife?
38131Anything else beside watching him?
38131Anything serious?
38131Apart from his wanting to be alone, then, he was pretty close to being human?
38131Are these all the letters that have been received?
38131Are you certain? 38131 Arrest for what?"
38131Ask him,insisted the chief of police,"how he killed Montgomery?"
38131At midnight? 38131 At nine o''clock?"
38131Bags? 38131 Before Mrs. Vaughan came to town?"
38131Bolshevist?
38131But I thought his body was found near the door?
38131But I thought--"That he desired your life? 38131 But Rita,"Graham protested,"you do n''t mean to say that you''re going to put yourself entirely in this man''s power?"
38131But are n''t the detective stories of real life interesting and oftentimes exciting?
38131But how do you know it was n''t a bullet of the same caliber, fired from outside the window?
38131But how in the name of Heaven did you get the answer so quickly?
38131But how''d you happen to arrive here at the right moment?
38131But no clue as to the location of the body of the beast?
38131But the message Callahan sent?
38131But the trap-- the milk? 38131 But what I''d like to know,"he asked, as they strolled back toward the main ballroom,"is how you engineered the affair?"
38131But what about your luncheon engagement?
38131But what of them? 38131 But what was it you feared?"
38131But what,grumbled Walters,"has that to do with the Black Tom explosion?"
38131But who was the man?
38131But who,I persisted, as Quinn stopped,"was Jack Stewart and what was the nature of the affair upon which he stumbled in Mexico City?"
38131But,I inquired, as he paused,"what became of Dawson and Stewart?"
38131But,as one army officer phrased it,"what''s the use of a convoy if they know just where you are?
38131By the way, Boyd, have you or any of your men been in the Service more than four years?
38131By the way,added the operative,"might I see it?"
38131Ca n''t I see something more of you while we are in New York? 38131 Ca n''t you guess?
38131Can I?
38131Can you get to your office in ten minutes?
38131Can you look me straight in the eyes and say that they have n''t paid you for being blind? 38131 Can you tell me now what it was you started to say about Conner''s?"
38131Care to outline it?
38131Conner''s? 38131 Couple that with the fact that the box was empty when you found it and I think we will have--""What?"
38131Dad''s place?
38131Derwent and Mahoney?
38131Did Boyd or any of the other department operatives ask to see the plans of the post office?
38131Did Weimar ever come to see you?
38131Did he talk with a German accent?
38131Did more than one person write the letters?
38131Did n''t I tell you that Al was married? 38131 Did n''t he say''sheep- stinger''?"
38131Did n''t think I''d see through your scheme to get a position here and your infernal cleverness with the books and the accounts? 38131 Did n''t wait long for another assignment, did he?"
38131Did n''t you know I would?
38131Did n''t you mention a post- office case in which a wad of gum played a prominent role?
38131Did she meet anyone?
38131Did the men have any bags with them?
38131Did you catch the name of the man to whom your friends were alluding?
38131Did you ever hear of the place they called Conner''s, Chief?
38131Did you know anything about the poison- pen letters in Madison?
38131Did you pick up any jewels in the Catskills?
38131Did you see?
38131Do n''t look like the writing of the same person, do they?
38131Do n''t you know Jimmy Callahan? 38131 Do you admit that you deliberately brought seven thousand five hundred dollars of counterfeit money here and tried to pass it?"
38131Do you believe that moonshining is right?
38131Do you happen to have a copy of yesterday''s_ News_ handy?
38131Do you know how long it was between the time that she entered the building and the time she left?
38131Do you know where Rockwell is now?
38131Do you mean to say it worked?
38131Do you mean to say,asked one of the men at the table,"that you can tell that a man is a criminal simply by looking at him?"
38131Do you recall any record of a check for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars upon the State National drawn and cashed this morning?
38131Do you remember the disappearance of the plans of the battleship_ Pennsylvania_?
38131Do you see that little square marked with a white star and the letter''L''?
38131Does n''t the speedometer give you the distance?
38131Does the Filipino know anything about his master''s past?
38131Does this Austrian, this here Buch feller ye''re lookin''for, like music? 38131 Else how would they know when to lay off?
38131First time you ever saw this, eh?
38131From what ports are transports sailing within the next couple of weeks?
38131Go down to the refrigerator and find out, will you? 38131 Going to take anybody with you?"
38131Got that?
38131Had he bled to death?
38131Has Miss James been able to discover anything of the lady''s past history?
38131Has he any relatives?
38131Has one of the diamonds a heart- shaped flaw in it?
38131Has the combination been changed recently?
38131Have you a record of the home address of the people employed in the Mint?
38131Have you discovered anything?
38131Have you heard about the murder of Montgomery Marshall?
38131Have you the letter you received?
38131Have you?
38131He''s going to show you what is in the double- locked room?
38131Here, would you like to try it?
38131How about a poisoned bullet, fired through the opening in the window?
38131How about bribing one of the employees to leave?
38131How about overhearing his directions to the men he meets in the open?
38131How about the Tysons and the Osgoods and the other people who brought these letters in-- didn''t they receive subsequent demands for money?
38131How about the Ypiranga case?
38131How about the maid?
38131How did this man work it right under our eyes?
38131How did you know it was lost?
38131How did you know it?
38131How do you know he has n''t it already?
38131How do you know? 38131 How far am I allowed to go?"
38131How is it, then, that every story you''ve told dealt with the success of a government agent-- never with his failure?
38131How long has this been going on?
38131How long was the taxi there?
38131How many men know the combination to the vault door?
38131How many?
38131How much do you know about the case?
38131How much gold did you say was missing?
38131How much time?
38131How''d you get away?
38131How''d you know where to find it?
38131How?
38131How?
38131Huh? 38131 Huh?"
38131I will,promised Marks,"but who are you?
38131I''m returning to Washington on the Congressional, but I''ll be sure to see you at the de Maurys'', wo n''t I? 38131 If that''s the case,"cut in another,"why do n''t you lock''em all up?"
38131In his hand?
38131In that case,muttered the chief at the other end of the wire,"why in Heaven''s name did n''t he get them when they came in?"
38131In the building? 38131 In the scale house?"
38131Is Mr. MacPherson, the purser of the_ Atlantic_, there?
38131Is n''t Petersen behaving himself?
38131Is n''t it possible,he suggested,"to plant your men close enough to Weimar to find out, for example, what he talks about over the phone?"
38131Is that the name?
38131Is that the way it always stays?
38131Is that the way they are usually arranged?
38131Is this Mr. Preston of the Postal Inspection Service?
38131Is this the way the door of the grille ordinarily hangs?
38131It is rather pretty, is n''t it? 38131 It would take a better man than I am to decipher this,"and he read off:"I i i t f b b t t x o....""Code?"
38131Just want to ask what you know about Mrs. Mahlon Prentice?
38131Light?
38131Look into it?
38131Madelaine,he inquired,"what do you know of a certain Mrs. Lelia Armitage?"
38131Madison? 38131 Meaning what?"
38131Mind the what?
38131Money? 38131 Morgantown?"
38131Mr. Preston? 38131 Murder?"
38131Murphy,said the Green- and- White manager,"where was your cab last night?"
38131Music?
38131My business?
38131New York? 38131 No chance of a slip- up in your information, is there, Chief?"
38131No chance of her being mixed up in the affair?
38131No doubt that your man heard the splash when Holden went overboard last night?
38131No? 38131 No?"
38131Not directly-- but what other purpose could a person have than to extract money? 38131 Not smoking?"
38131Not the slightest indication of where Gerard went?
38131Nothing missing?
38131Now that we''ve got her,inquired Madelaine James,"what''ll we do with her?"
38131Of course you''re willing to state where they came from?
38131Oh, it was a Green- and- White, eh?
38131On the Congressional Limited, eh?
38131Plant it?
38131Rather long for her to make her way to the office of her husband, find he was n''t there, and come right back, was n''t it?
38131Recognise them?
38131Report? 38131 Rita, I can''t--"Graham started to argue, but the girl cut in with,"You ca n''t stop me?
38131Same rules as on the Coast, eh?
38131Seem to be familiar with anyone on board?
38131Seen a ghost or something?
38131Shall we go after it from this end, Chief?
38131Sit down and have something? 38131 So that was the trick, eh?"
38131Some more of your highfalutin''detective work, eh?
38131Somebody who ought n''t to be here?
38131Something stirring?
38131Sounded like a ghost, did n''t it?
38131Sprague?
38131Sprague?
38131Still believe von Ewald is a myth?
38131Story in what?
38131Strange, was n''t it, how that pair stumbled across one of the first tentacles of the World War in front of a cafà © in Mexico City? 38131 Stranger,"he inquired,"what might yo''name be?"
38131Sure you have n''t slipped up anywhere and given them a suspicion as to your real work?
38131Thanks,said the girl,"but what next?"
38131That being the case, Chief, why take any chances right now? 38131 That was an interesting theory of yours,"commented one of the men,"but was n''t it only a theory?
38131That''s where the eight hundred and fifty dollars came from?
38131The Senate Office Building?
38131The Thurene case? 38131 The blue print?"
38131The fifty thousand dollars? 38131 The girl?
38131The girl?
38131The manager''s name--But then she halted abruptly, picked up a plug, and said,"What number, please?"
38131The price?
38131The what?
38131The which?
38131The----?
38131Then how are you to account for the discrepancies between the bills of lading and the final receipts?
38131Then this,cut in Whitney, unable to keep the excitement out of his voice,"is where he stopped to speak to the Germans?"
38131Then you know where it is?
38131Then you mean that the bookkeeper is responsible for falsifying the accounts?
38131Then you think that it may be a clue, after all?
38131Then,cut in Callahan,"if the Germans wanted to make a ten- strike they''d lay for that boat?"
38131There was n''t the slightest clue left after the Black Tom affair?
38131There''s one that clears Norfolk at daylight on Monday morning with twelve thousand men aboard...."Norfolk?
38131They?
38131Thought I was easy, did n''t you?
38131Thought what?
38131Trap it? 38131 Trunks?"
38131Tuesday?
38131Um, yes,muttered Maxwell,"but has the young lady seen anything of this chap lately?"
38131Verne did n''t write detective stories, did he?
38131Wah Lee? 38131 Want me for anything?"
38131Want to go up with me and investigate the secret chamber?
38131Was he married?
38131Was it of such a nature that it could have been easily copied?
38131Was there a chimney or any other possible entrance to the room?
38131Was this procedure followed with respect to all the other employees in the building?
38131Was this the only copy in existence?
38131Well, now that I''ve told you, what d''you think?
38131Well, what happened?
38131Well, what''s the idea of trailing him, then?
38131Well,I inquired,"what was she?"
38131Well,snapped Preston,"what did he see?"
38131Were the papers right in reporting that you picked some fragments of a black bag not far from the scene of the explosion?
38131Were you to send these messages only on Saturday night?
38131Whar you come from?
38131What about Tino, the servant?
38131What about the men who''ve been working on the case up to this time?
38131What are you talking about?
38131What became of her?
38131What boats are due in the next three days?
38131What brings you here? 38131 What business is it of yours?
38131What can I do for you?
38131What did she buy?
38131What did they look like?
38131What did you say her name was?
38131What do you expect to catch?
38131What do you know about Cheney?
38131What do you know about that?
38131What do you make of that?
38131What do you mean,''all''? 38131 What do you mean-- this case?"
38131What do you mean? 38131 What do you mean?"
38131What do you see?
38131What does he do at other times?
38131What does the tape say?
38131What does this mean?
38131What evidence have you that this invasion is planned?
38131What happened to Vera Norton?
38131What happened to them? 38131 What in Heaven''s name are you going to do there?"
38131What is this large room next to it?
38131What kind of bags were they?
38131What letter?
38131What made you take up counterfeiting? 38131 What th''----?"
38131What time was the dinner?
38131What was that?
38131What was the date they were sold?
38131What was the size of the master key, as you call it?
38131What''s all this about?
38131What''s coming off Tuesday?
38131What''s missing?
38131What''s on it?
38131What''s that?
38131What''s that?
38131What''s the idea, Chief?
38131What''s the idea, anyhow?
38131What''s the idea? 38131 What''s the idea?
38131What''s the idea?
38131What''s the matter?
38131What''s the matter?
38131What''s the matter?
38131What''s the matter?
38131What''s the significance of that white mouse on the mantelpiece?
38131What''s the trouble now?
38131What''s the trouble?
38131What''s this doing here?
38131What''s this?
38131What-- what do you want me to do?
38131What? 38131 What?"
38131What?
38131What?
38131What?
38131What?
38131What?
38131When did Miss Vaughan leave?
38131When did you discover the disappearance of the code secret?
38131When was that?
38131Where are the gold bars?
38131Where did you find it?
38131Where did you get that eight hundred and fifty dollars?
38131Where is Buch now?
38131Where is she now?
38131Where was it?
38131Where you going?
38131Where''d she come from?
38131Where''s Felix?
38131Where''s Marks located now?
38131Where''s that?
38131Where''s the biggest ship sailing from?
38131Where''s the paper?
38131Where-- how-- what in the world made you think that?
38131Which case was that?
38131Which is the reason that you want me to look into it, eh?
38131Which means that you do n''t care to handle the case?
38131Which one was that?
38131While you were also drawing money from me, eh?
38131Who are the men who appear to be implicated?
38131Who are you? 38131 Who do you mean?"
38131Who has charge of our cab bearing license number four, three, three, five, six, eight?... 38131 Who said this was a gang?"
38131Who told you about that?
38131Who was here at the time?
38131Who,he inquired of that individual,"has charge of the operation of that phonograph sign on the roof?"
38131Who-- is-- Sprague?
38131Whom do you suspect of manipulating the funds?
38131Why all the mystery?
38131Why all the questions? 38131 Why all the stage setting?"
38131Why do you say blackmailer? 38131 Why is it,"he inquired, testily,"that some fools never learn anything?"
38131Why not a theater party this evening?
38131Why not let''s watch them from the roof here? 38131 Why that momentous decision?"
38131Why? 38131 Wife of the Third Assistant Secretary of State?"
38131Will you produce it-- or shall I?
38131With what result?
38131Would n''t it be better, sir, if we hung around outside th''store an''let Katy give us the high sign when he come in? 38131 Would n''t like to have a piece of the Kaiser''s mustache or anything of that kind, would you, Chief?"
38131Would you think about ethics if some one had murdered two of the men you work next to in the office? 38131 Yes, but what is it?"
38131Yes, what is it?
38131Yes?
38131Yet, you say her handwriting was similar to that which appears on these letters?
38131You are certain that she was there all evening-- that she did n''t slip out for half an hour or so?
38131You are certain that the cipher was there last evening?
38131You are familiar with the Carruthers Code?
38131You mean my statement that you can tell by the shape of a man''s head and hands whether he has a predisposition to crime?
38131You mean that you think he''s implicated?
38131You mean you''d like to marry me?
38131You mean--"That she was a crook? 38131 You remember those scratches I called your attention to-- the ones on the side of the grille bars?
38131You want it intercepted?
38131You want to draw their fire, eh?
38131You''d hardly expect me to say''Yes,''would you? 38131 You''re not going to write the whole thing on the board?"
38131***** Remember Dr. Heinrich Albert?
38131*****"All?"
38131*****"And so they were married and lived happily ever after?"
38131*****"And was that all Marks ever heard from her?"
38131*****"But the plans?"
38131*****"Do you know what the whole message was?"
38131About five o''clock this afternoon?
38131Am I right?"
38131And did Carr succeed in landing the men higher up?"
38131And who are you?"
38131And-- Do you know what books are kept on Shelf Forty- five?"
38131And-- er-- what was the number of the room she had coming over?...
38131Any clue in the postmarks?"
38131Any more stuff turn up?"
38131Any reason to suspect anyone?"
38131Anything criminal in that?"
38131Are you going to stop with friends?"
38131Are you on?"
38131Besides, did n''t the two trunks of goods arrive?"
38131Besides, what about the girl?"
38131Besides, what we''ve got to find out first is how Montgomery met his death?"
38131But Edna and Grace were n''t on your list, were they?"
38131But I''d guess somewhere about five or ten minutes?"
38131But how could that be accomplished when he did not even know where he was or anything about the house?
38131But how in the name of Heaven had they gotten their information?
38131But if it is in the mysterious black bag.... Is the doctor in town now?"
38131But she was too sleepy to give much thought to it, and, besides, what if he had?...
38131But what else would you expect from the man who solved that submarine tangle in Norfolk?"
38131But what had Holden been doing at the clairvoyant''s?
38131But what on earth would two men want to take a taxi from New York all the way to Trenton for?
38131But what were they to do about it?
38131But what''s the idea?
38131But where?
38131But which?
38131But,"and his face broke into a smile,"since they did find me, what''s the trouble?"
38131By the way, do you know of any place in town known as Conner''s?"
38131By the way, have you noticed those scratches on the bars of the grille, about four feet from the floor?"
38131By the way, what do you know about the dead man?"
38131By the way, when do you plan to make your next inspection?"
38131Ca n''t I spend my own money in my own way without being trailed and hounded all over the city?"
38131Can you get it?"
38131Can you make it?"
38131Can you tell us anything about him?"
38131Come to think of it, Verne was n''t an American, was he?
38131Could I do less than to help you?"
38131Could he capture him without being injured?
38131Could it be that Felix was one of the men whom he had surprised the night before, the one he had fired at and hit?
38131D''you get me?"
38131Did n''t keep you waiting a minute?"
38131Did she have the same stateroom?
38131Did you drop her there?"
38131Did you ever know Carroll?
38131Did you ever notice the changing style in villains, for example?
38131Director?"
38131Do n''t governmental investigations usually take a long time?"
38131Do you know anyone who''s socially prominent in Madison?"
38131Do you know of any demand for money which has been made?"
38131Do you mean to say that its bite is sufficiently poisonous to kill a man?"
38131Do you suspect the wife of the Third Assistant Secretary of State of robbing a bank?"
38131Do you think it''s safe?"
38131During the weeks that followed, people repeatedly asked the Commissioner:"What''s become of Jimmy Reynolds?
38131Evans?"
38131Ever hear of Rockwell?"
38131Florence, Rose, and Amelia?
38131For example, there was Virginia Lang--""Was she the girl at the switchboard that you mentioned in connection with the von Ewald case?"
38131Going through to New York, of course?"
38131Got a tip that the Huns are going to try to grab her?"
38131Got any ideas on the matter?"
38131Had Dick gotten her signal?
38131Had he fallen into the power of the ring or was it possible that he was one of the blackmailers himself?
38131Had he laid a plan whereby he could repeat this operation as often as necessary?
38131Had some German, more daring than the rest, actually come ashore and penetrated into the very lines of the Service?
38131Hal Preston handled it, did n''t he-- the same man responsible for running down''The Trail of the White Mice''?"
38131Have n''t government detectives ever been instrumental in solving a murder mystery?"
38131Have you any documents of importance-- international importance-- in your office at the present moment?"
38131Have you got all the letters?"
38131Have you tried tracing her from the other side?"
38131He paused a moment, his breath rattling in his throat, and then continued:"It took me five years to find him-- but you say he''s dead?
38131He would want to get the latest information, the most recent books, the--""What are you driving at?"
38131He''s still chasing around with the blond-- but what''s become of Miss Red- head?"
38131How are we going to find the corner where the machine turned?"
38131How could one man carry away all that gold without being seen?
38131How did the thief get the mail containing the money out of the building?
38131How does that suit you?"
38131How was the safe opened?"
38131How''bout it?"
38131How''d you happen to hit on that?"
38131How?"
38131However, if it had n''t been for Todd--""Todd?"
38131I happened to be at a dinner with her last evening and--""You what?"
38131In answer to her query,"Who''s there?"
38131In what connection?"
38131Incidentally, has all the rest of the gold been weighed?"
38131Is he in?...
38131Is he nuts about it?"
38131Is n''t a spy always a spy?"
38131Is n''t there any chance for a mistake?"
38131Is there any milk in the house?"
38131Is there any real foundation of fact?"
38131It looked to be a certainty on the face of it, but, once you had discovered that, what good did it do you?
38131It''ll take some time to get at the truth of the matter and, meanwhile, might I ask you to keep this information to yourself?"
38131Let me know if anything comes up, will you?"
38131Marks?"
38131Meanwhile we''ll continue to be good friends and trail around together, eh?"
38131Mighty funny kinder way to earn a livin'', Ah calls it-- flashing on an''off all night long....""But where''s he work from?"
38131Mr. MacPherson?
38131Murphy?
38131Nab''em right away?"
38131Now what''s your idea of handling the case?"
38131Oh, well--""Any idea of where the shipments came from?"
38131Or did the answer lie in a concealed wireless, operating upon information supplied through underground channels?
38131Out of the darkness came the guttural inquiry:"What do you want?"
38131Quinn must have read the look of interest in my face, for he continued, almost without a pause:"Did you ever hear the inside of that case?
38131Ready?
38131Ready?...
38131Remember him?
38131Ring?"
38131Rotten weather, is n''t it?
38131Saint Louis?
38131See that black mark, like an inverted V, upon the head?
38131See that twenty- five- cent piece up there on the wall?
38131See?
38131Serious as that, is it?"
38131She is?
38131She was Allison''s wife?"
38131Should he attempt to find the house from which the scream had come and force the door?
38131Should he take a chance on losing his prey merely to try to save a woman''s life?
38131Six during the past few weeks?"
38131So they were saving him for the sacrifice, eh?
38131Some one broke in there and--""Yes-- but what about Holden?"
38131Suppose we plan a certain event for the sixth of January?"
38131Suppose we say the first of the year?
38131That they did n''t suspect what you came to the dock for, and declared you in on the split?
38131The case has n''t gotten into the papers, so why not release Thurene?"
38131The first one read: Does your husband know the details of that trip to Fond du Lac?
38131The girl''s first answer was a laugh, and then,"What do you mean,''put myself in his power''?"
38131The question is, Where did she get the tip?"
38131The question now is, What''s this particular storm and when is it goin''to break?"
38131The question now is: Who are''they''and how did they operate?"
38131The question was: Where was the money coming from and what was the immediate object of the game?
38131The theft occurred shortly after midnight and--""If you know so much about it, why do n''t you arrest her?"
38131Then one of these t''ree guys hailed me....""Three?"
38131Then, as an after- thought,"Do you happen to know of any hotel or place here in town known as''Conner''s''?"
38131Then, grinning, he continued,"Understand you''ve been having a bit of trouble out in Columbus?"
38131Then, pointing to the name"Countess Sylvia Stefani"on the hotel sheet and to the same name on the wrapper, he asked,"Note everything?"
38131Then, what was more natural than that her maid should accompany her on board when she was leaving?
38131Then,"Are you sure you can put it over?"
38131Then,"What do doctors do with their mistakes?"
38131Then:"Notice anything funny about these?"
38131Then:"What do you know about the anonymous letters which have been sent to a number of persons in this city?"
38131There''s no chance to plant a dictaphone, and how else are you going to get the information?"
38131They got out and were away for nearly two hours?
38131They had turned up in the United States, so why could n''t they have been slipped through the customs of other countries just as easily?
38131They were going to keep him here until their arrangements were complete and then make away with him, were they?
38131Think the stuff is being brought over by airplane and landed inland?
38131This is the first piece of personal property that I''ve been able to locate and you say there is nothing in this?"
38131Thought you could get away with it indefinitely, eh?"
38131Three of the former he slipped into his pocket and then, turning, inquired:"Was Mr. Rockwell fond of cold weather?"
38131Tryin''to make it do tricks?"
38131Want any help from this end?"
38131Want any report to headquarters?"
38131Want me to say''Hello''to anybody?"
38131Want to come along, Rita?"
38131Want to see something of my color process, eh?
38131Was it the silent- moving head waiter?
38131Was she to blame for that?"
38131Was the cash O. K. at the Central Trust?"
38131Was there a secret submarine base on the coast?
38131Was there any gang?
38131Washington?
38131Were they there when you went over the books this morning?"
38131What about the bum we carried in here last night-- the one that tried to help Anita in her getaway?"
38131What business are you in?"
38131What business have you in here?"
38131What could their purpose be?
38131What d''ye call those birds that fly around at sea just before a gale breaks-- stormy petrels?
38131What do you know about her?"
38131What do you want me to do?
38131What do you want to do with th''lad in th''bed?"
38131What does Dame Rumor say in this case?"
38131What else was there for him to do?
38131What happened then?"
38131What happened to the Mexican?
38131What has that got to do with it?"
38131What is it?"
38131What is the latest news from the ship?"
38131What lines have Boyd and the other men here been following?"
38131What name did this man give?"
38131What next?
38131What was in the box?"
38131What was the connection between him and the quarter- million you mentioned?"
38131What was the message Callahan sent?
38131What was the motive?"
38131What you smilin''at?"
38131What''d you find in the store?"
38131What''re you going to do when experts disagree?"
38131What''s that Mahoney has in his hand?"
38131What''s the address?"
38131What''s the connection?"
38131What''s the idea, anyhow?
38131What''s the idea, anyhow?
38131What''s the matter?"
38131What''s the matter?"
38131What''s the number of her stateroom?
38131What''s the trouble?"
38131What''ve you got in the bag there?"
38131What?"
38131When the conference concluded, sometime after midnight, the chief turned to Maxwell and inquired:"Well, what''s your idea about it?"
38131Where are the envelopes in which these letters were mailed?"
38131Where can I reach you by phone?"
38131Where can I reach you?"
38131Where did you get the money to pay for that ring you bought at Tiffany''s to- day?"
38131Where did you meet''em and where did you drive''em?"
38131Where is Cheney now?"
38131Where is the gold?"
38131Where was Conner''s?
38131Where was it that they intended to place the bomb?
38131Where''d you get it?"
38131Where''d you get the message?"
38131Where''ll I meet you to- night?"
38131Where''s the box you were talking about?"
38131Who does this Weimar live with?"
38131Who is he?"
38131Who sent the letter and the money from Washington?"
38131Who was inquiring about him, and why?
38131Who was the man they were plotting against?
38131Who were"they"and where were they?
38131Who would be likely to know?"
38131Who''s been looting the local treasury?"
38131Why am I Mrs. Mabel Kennedy, and what''s she supposed to do?"
38131Why did n''t they come on the train?"
38131Why do n''t you send Giles or one of the bachelors on this?"
38131Why should n''t we take a leaf out of their book?"
38131Why should they?"
38131Why should you take such an interest in me?"
38131Why the odd shape?
38131Why would they arrange it so as to explode upon pressure, rather than concussion or by a time fuse?
38131Why''d you ask?
38131Why?
38131Why?
38131Why?
38131Will you look after that?"
38131Will you?"
38131Wonder what that bookkeeper mailed?"
38131Would he be able to trail his man?
38131XXI A MILLION- DOLLAR QUARTER"What''s in the phial?"
38131You are going, I suppose?"
38131You did n''t find anything, of course?"
38131You have the bunch of master keys, of course?"
38131You know the system that maintains in the registry room?
38131You remember me, do n''t you?
38131You remember that case, do n''t you?
38131You remember the Black Tom explosion in August, nineteen sixteen?
38131You remember the Philadelphia mint robbery-- the one that Drummond solved in less than six hours?
38131You remember the incident of the''leak''in the peace note, when certain Wall Street interests cleaned up millions of dollars?"
38131You''re not lying?"
38131You''ve searched the room thoroughly, of course?"
38131snapped Todd,"but where have you been for the last hour?
38131that you, Thurber?...
38131who?"
36366''Mellican lady slick?
36366A blunder, Van?
36366A threat?
36366Af-- after me?
36366Ah, a physician?
36366Ah, how Dared I think to Become one of you?
36366Ah, what is Stanhope about?
36366Ai n''t it?
36366Ai n''t ye, now?
36366Alan, oh, Alan, it is not true?
36366Alan,she whispers,"what does he mean?"
36366All right; are you off, Van?
36366Americans?
36366An''say, no jokin''now,_ have_ ye come ter live with us?
36366And Beale; what did he do?
36366And are her parents living?
36366And could he identify this belt?
36366And her motive for now quitting her home so suddenly?
36366And his brother?
36366And how does this discovery affect your movements?
36366And is that danger now past?
36366And little Daisy?
36366And my daughter, my little girl-- did_ she_ think that, too?
36366And safe and well?
36366And that?
36366And the child?
36366And their sway has ceased?
36366And there is no news of the little one?
36366And this transaction, this infamy-- he leaves all details to you?
36366And what did you answer?
36366And what is that?
36366And wot''s that?
36366And yet you have confidence in this disguised stranger?
36366And yet you say that you never saw his face before?
36366And yet you would share your honors with Vernet for friendship''s sake? 36366 And you rescued him?"
36366And you still persist in your refusal to explain?
36366And you want my star, or one like it?
36366And you.... She left you some message?
36366And you? 36366 And you?"
36366And, Dick, if, in the thick of the strife, Van forgets his friendship for you and becomes your enemy?
36366And-- you said Cinderella''s coach was down near my papa''s gate?
36366Answer me,vociferates Vernet;"who brought you here, fellow?
36366Archibald Warburton had bidden me never to speak again on the subject of my parentage-- why not take him at his word? 36366 Are there no contingencies?"
36366Are ye a pack o''fools after all?
36366Are you Richard Stanhope?
36366Are you going to leave me behind, with the rest of your past?
36366Are you hungry?
36366Are you particularly busy just now?
36366Are you ready for a bit of business?
36366Are you sure?
36366Are you telling me the truth?
36366Are you_ sure_ of that?
36366As_ I_ have concealed Daisy? 36366 Away from the city?"
36366Bayless, formerly of the R---- street Insane Asylum?
36366Boys,he asks, in slow, set tones,"did you, any of you, ever_ see_ a man killed by lightning?"
36366But he has been down since?
36366But if I tell you that this_ lady_ is a man in silken petticoats?
36366But the other,said Papa, with nervous eagerness;"what shall we do with him?"
36366But who? 36366 By a man in disguise?"
36366By letter?
36366By which I infer that my''Organ- grinder,''my''Idiot,''and the''Goddess of Liberty,''are one and the same?
36366Ca n''t we lock him up again?
36366Ca n''t we?
36366Can you swallow a little?
36366Can you take me to Nancy Kaiser''s lushing ken?
36366Carnegie,he asked,"do you ever make a mistake?"
36366Charlie, can I trust you to go back to the place where we left them?
36366Could he have been put there by Warburton? 36366 Could n''t ye keep sober jist once?"
36366D''ye mean ter say,queried Franz,"that if that gal knew anything, she''d know too much?"
36366D''ye s''pose I''d run any risk now?
36366D''ye think we''re in our dotage, Franzy,said Papa plaintively,"that ye ask us such a question?
36366Did he blush,queried Leslie maliciously,"when you embraced him that night of the masquerade?"
36366Did he do that?
36366Did you cause it to be written?
36366Did you preserve the letter?
36366Did you write that letter?
36366Do n''t I though?
36366Do n''t I?
36366Do n''t ye?
36366Do n''t you think the dress muffles your figure a little too much, Follingsbee? 36366 Do n''t you think,"he said, looking up from its perusal,"that we had better begin by understanding each other?"
36366Do they always pull together?
36366Do ye hear that?
36366Do ye mean,queries Franz quite coolly,"that you wo n''t take up with the old woman''s bargain?"
36366Do you doubt the success of the undertaking?
36366Do you know anything of her early history?
36366Do you know the proposition that woman has just made me?
36366Do you know what this letter contains?
36366Do you mean Mr. Archibald Warburton, sir?
36366Do you mean that they wish you to give up your profession? 36366 Do you really want to see Mother Hubbard''s dog, little girl?"
36366Do you talk at everybody over the top rail of a fence?
36366Do you wish me to read it?
36366Do you_ know_ who struck that blow?
36366Do-- do you-- know--"Do I know who you are? 36366 Does not the letter itself explain?"
36366Eh?
36366Enough said on that score; now, what''s yer lay?
36366Entrapped?
36366Even if it be Vernet?
36366For God''s sake,_ what_ are you?
36366Franz, my boy,he began, in a quavering voice,"if there should be cops outside--""Ye''re the same whinin''old coward, ai n''t ye?"
36366Go on,says Franz coolly;"now?"
36366Good; and these shadowers of Vernet''s-- could Beale identify either of them?
36366Governor, how are ye?
36366Had this gentleman a middle name?
36366Has Beale been out alone?
36366Has Carnegie been in to- day?
36366Has Van Vernet visited this house, to your knowledge?
36366Has our Mr. Stanhope lost his senses, uncle?
36366Have I alluded to him as a_ stranger_, sir?
36366Have those fellows been pestering you?
36366Have ye got that gal''s young un?
36366Have you any suspicions? 36366 Have you been to Papa''s room, Daisy?
36366Have you forgotten Vernet?
36366Have you seen Pearson since the storm?
36366He has, then, mapped out my course for me?
36366He will accept no other terms?
36366He''d like ter see ye alone, old Beelzebub, d''ye hear?
36366His help?
36366Holt, you understand?
36366Honor bright?
36366How are ye''old uns?
36366How came I out? 36366 How came you here?
36366How can I, now?
36366How do? 36366 How does he dispose of his large property?"
36366How is Archibald?
36366How is Krutzer?
36366How is your patient?
36366How long have they been dead?
36366How long have you been here, Harvey?
36366How long since you came?
36366How long will he live?
36366How many days have I been ill?
36366How many days, my child? 36366 How was it?"
36366How''s_ she_ been behaving?
36366How, Franzy?
36366How, sir?
36366How-- how?
36366How? 36366 How?"
36366How?
36366I ai n''t your son for nothing; what do ye take me for?
36366I am Afraid for you; but give It up now? 36366 I had observed some things that puzzled me, and-- does that letter of Leslie''s contain any statements concerning her early life?"
36366I suppose you know some of them pretty well?
36366I suppose,began Vernet, mockingly,"that you did n''t hear the little conversation between that nice old gent there and myself?"
36366I will tell you; but, first, you saw Vernet?
36366I? 36366 I?
36366I? 36366 If I refuse, what will be the consequences to Daisy?"
36366If he should accept this offer?
36366If your father yields to my demand,he said softly,"what will be your verdict?"
36366In espousing my cause, he is making active war upon Van Vernet?
36366In every respect? 36366 In his own way?"
36366Indeed? 36366 Is he?"
36366Is it a safe lay?
36366Is it_ really_ Franzy?
36366Is n''t that a queer move for His Dignity?
36366Is she the daughter of Thomas Uliman?
36366Is that all, sir?
36366Is that you, Cull?
36366Is the door unbarred?
36366Is the little one with you?
36366Is there another, a man, who knows?
36366Is there any one else who would be benefited by the death or disappearance of the child?
36366Is this all yer eatables?
36366It contains the secret of their present whereabouts, and bids you come to them?
36366It is from_ them_?
36366It''s you, is it?
36366John Ainsworth?
36366Let up, old woman,he says, coarsely; and then, pushing her aside, he addresses the Sister:"I say, what-- er-- ye want-- er-- her for, any''ow?"
36366Like the gal? 36366 Look here, old un,"he said slowly,"that fellow''s just knocked off eight or ten years in limbo, and do n''t you s''pose he prizes his liberty?
36366May I ask, Mrs. Warburton, if she is your ideal of a companion for this child?
36366May I sit down, Winnie?
36366May we hear it?
36366Might I be allowed to ask what you take me for?
36366More? 36366 Mr. Follingsbee, have you faith in the ability of this champion- detective to cope with such a man as Vernet?"
36366Mr. Follingsbee,he began gravely,"do you understand this allusion to the events of the afternoon?"
36366Mr. Follingsbee,_ who_ is this man?
36366Mr. Stanhope, is it-- was it_ you_?
36366Mrs. Warburton, are you still desirous to discover the identity of the person who has been a spy upon you?
36366Mrs. Warburton,he asked, slowly,"do you know_ who_ struck that blow?"
36366Must I play my part still?
36366My_ dear_ sir,he says impressively,"if you want to catch a thief will you say,''come here, my dear, and be arrested?''
36366Never mind the young un, boy,replies Mamma, her face hardening again;"how do ye like the_ gal_?"
36366Next,goes on Franz, as if quite content with their silence,"wot''s all this talk about child- stealin''?"
36366No what?
36366No? 36366 Not both at once, stupid?"
36366Not yours?
36366Nothing more?
36366Now tell me, do you think I had better offer your Mamma a birthday present?
36366Now that you know yourself dying, are you willing to tell me anything I may wish to know?
36366Now then, my bogus dark lantern,began Franz, who had evidently been chosen spokesman for the trio,"what''s yer business here?"
36366Now then,began Franz,"who did yon nipped cove come here to see, you or me, old un?
36366Now, look here; suppose the worst comes, how far away is it? 36366 Now, then,"begins Franz,"Who''s that''ere gal?"
36366Now, then,referring to papers,"first-- sit down, wo n''t you?
36366Now, what''s the killin''affair mentioned?
36366Now, why ca n''t we spare her? 36366 Now?"
36366Officer, where does a man go to get a good brandy cocktail?
36366Oh, Alan,she says,"you followed--""I followed you?
36366Oh, am I losing my senses?
36366Oh, they''re a- lookin''fer somebody on suspicion? 36366 Oh,"said Mamma,"you''ll finish the job in the drink?"
36366Oh,she cries, half rising and clasping her hands in intense appeal,"is it true?
36366Old woman, it will be policy for you to keep quiet; or do you want me to gag you?
36366On a lay?
36366On what authority dare you make such assertions?
36366Once agin,says he sharply,"what''s that?"
36366Once and for all,she said sharply,"tell me why you hate Leslie so?"
36366Parks, what--_what_ is it?
36366Pearson?
36366Precisely; and this''brave man'', is the same who was present at the masquerade; is it not so?
36366Quick; tell me, what must Daisy''s ransom be?
36366S''pose ye have-- look here, old un, do n''t ye see yer chance?
36366Since the masquerade?
36366Since when?
36366So ye ai n''t had any luck, girl?
36366So you dragged her out, did ye? 36366 So,"he said;"an''_ that''s_ why ye keep her full o''drugged liquor, eh?
36366Somebody got arrested, of course?
36366Something has happened?
36366Stanhope and Vernet? 36366 Stanhope, the detective?
36366Surely; who else would there be?
36366Tell me her name, and where to find her?
36366Tell_ me_ why she has poisoned your mind against me?
36366That''s a pity; was n''t there any reward?
36366That''s the ticket; how did I do the_ role_?
36366The Sailor business? 36366 The gentleman is waiting?"
36366Then what is his advice?
36366Then what the dickens are ye mincin''about? 36366 Then you are in their power?"
36366Then you disown it?
36366Then,--Leslie clutches at the nearest support and fairly gasps the words--"then--_who am I_?"
36366Then,he said, taking up his hat,"I suppose you have no further use for me?"
36366There is always stationery at the desk for their use?
36366There,laying down the flask,"are your wounds bleeding?"
36366They make my fingers itch,he returns;"d''ye twig, gal?"
36366This champion of mine, then, is a detective; you admit that?
36366This comes of letting you wander around, eh?
36366This happened, when?
36366This is Doctor Bayless?
36366This is our last interview,she said coldly;"have you more to say?"
36366This person,she says slowly;"this man who can find Daisy if he will-- may I not see him?"
36366Van Vernet was a guest at your masquerade-- why was he there?
36366Vernet and Stanhope?
36366Vernet, where are you going?
36366Was he killed?
36366Was it you,he asked,"who brought me out?"
36366We''ve got somethin''to do besides shakin''an''shiverin''?
36366Well, Millie?
36366Well, Sanford, is it done?
36366Well, Stanhope,said the lawyer, linking his arm in that of the detective with friendly familiarity,"how do you prosper?"
36366Well, is it_ safe_, then?
36366Well, what''s yer plan? 36366 Well, ye ai n''t obliged ter take her, are ye?"
36366Well?
36366Well?
36366Well?
36366Well?
36366Well?
36366Whack up with ye afterwards?
36366What became of the child?
36366What case?
36366What do you advise, then?
36366What do you know of him?
36366What do you say? 36366 What do you think of it, my boy?
36366What do you want? 36366 What do you want?"
36366What do_ you_ want?
36366What else can it be? 36366 What for?"
36366What has brought you back? 36366 What have you got there?"
36366What is he to you, then?
36366What is it?
36366What is that?
36366What is wanted?
36366What makes''em look so queer, Millie? 36366 What success, my friend?"
36366What then?
36366What took you to that vile den on the night of your masquerade? 36366 What''s Mrs. Follingsbee''s style?"
36366What''s that, Charlie?
36366What''s this?
36366What''s to be done with the girl?
36366What''s_ this_?
36366When?
36366Where do you purpose to conceal yourself?
36366Where is he? 36366 Where is the-- lady?"
36366Where is your pathetic mute, Millie?
36366Where''s Pearson?
36366Where''s the Preach?
36366Where, may I ask, is Daisy''s own maid?
36366Where?
36366Which acts as leader and is the best man of the two?
36366Which is which?
36366Which you do?
36366Who are these?
36366Who else do ye think would be likely to claim_ yer_ kinship? 36366 Who is the fellow, and what disguise does he wear?"
36366Who is this man?
36366Who was the Mask that posted us about this mysterious lady?
36366Who?
36366Who?
36366Why I?
36366Why ca n''t it be? 36366 Why do n''t you begin at the beginning?"
36366Why do n''t you call, then?
36366Why such caution?
36366Why, Daisy;laughs the masker;"little Daisy, are you frightened?
36366Why, Winnie?
36366Why-- do you-- say that?
36366Why?
36366Why?
36366Will he go?
36366Will it hold me?
36366Will you remain, Miss French?
36366Will you swear to keep your word?
36366Winnie, darling,he whispers,"do you really care?"
36366Winnie,he says gravely,"what is this that I hear from your mother: you wish to leave Warburton Place?"
36366Winnie,_ you_ can say that? 36366 With the gal?"
36366Wot''s in that paper?
36366Wot''s struck ye?
36366Wot''s up?
36366Wot''s yer plan, Franzy?
36366Yes; do you know the address of the child''s friends?
36366Yes; ye do n''t want ter leave a dead gal here, do ye? 36366 Yes?"
36366You admit it? 36366 You agree to_ all_ the terms?"
36366You ai n''t hit, is you?
36366You are bent on clearing Warburton, but how will you prove his innocence?
36366You are clever at a disguise: can you make yourself look like a gentleman of my cloth?
36366You are sure it''s all right?
36366You are very mum? 36366 You consent?"
36366You have a system?
36366You have heard of Dick Stanhope, I take it?
36366You have?
36366You know that the Warburtons are overwhelmed with calamity?
36366You know the people?
36366You know,he whispers,"what do you know of my child?"
36366You saw those who fled?
36366You want-- information?
36366You were the first to arrive in response to that cry for help to- night?
36366You will marry this worthy man?
36366You will not go?
36366You wo n''t eh?
36366You wo n''t marry Franz?
36366You would find it out, of course?
36366You''re sure she wo n''t wake up?
36366You-- you are----?
36366You-- you wanted_ me_?
36366Young men, I suppose?
36366Your daughter?
36366_ Arrest!_she exclaimed;"why should you arrest_ him_?"
36366_ I?_Carnegie''s look said the rest.
36366_ Myself!_she controls her agitation, and asks fiercely:"Woman, what do you dare to say?"
36366_ What_ is he, then?
36366_ Your son-- the convict?_"You need n''t put so much force upon that. 36366 A moment he bows his head upon his hands, then lifts it and exclaims eagerly:Half an hour, you said; then-- she must be near?"
36366Again Franz makes a movement as if about to seize the paper, then, dropping his hand, he repeats:"To those two?"
36366Ah, they are about to liberate him; but why so silent?
36366Ai n''t ten years in limbo enough?
36366Ai n''t ye gettin''terrible curious?"
36366Ai n''t ye goin''ter shake?
36366Aloud, he said:"You have not given the lady''s name?"
36366An enemy, or only a tormentor?"
36366An''afore we drop this, I want these''ere questions answered: Who is that gal, an''why does she talk about bein''your gal?
36366An''now, once more, wot does the gal mean by talkin''about a child that''s stole?"
36366An''then, ye do n''t expect ter make a prisoner o''that gal, do yer?
36366And Daisy-- what, then, would become of her?
36366And Stanhope-- O, God,_ where_ is Stanhope?
36366And after that what matter how my day goes out?"
36366And as they go, one of them says:"Shall I run ahead and tell the Krutzers?"
36366And by whom?
36366And now about this Englishman''s case; put what your''tracker''has done into a report-- or do you intend to work in the dark, like Stanhope?"
36366And she favored him with a frosty smile as she asked:"What is it that my brother- in- law desires to know?"
36366And then as Stanhope hesitates, he cries piteously:"Oh, tell me, is she alive?"
36366And then try and answer my question: what''s to be done with her?"
36366And then, struck once more by the pitiful appeal in his eyes, she cried:"Look here, are you sick?"
36366And what are they about to do?
36366And what could Alan say?
36366And what had been done?
36366And what may she not say?
36366And where was Stanhope?
36366And why had he killed Josef Siebel?
36366And you ca n''t find her?"
36366Answer me,"giving him a rough shake,"how came you here?"
36366Anythin''as I kin help out?"
36366Anything else ye want ter know?"
36366Are they foes or friends?
36366Are they your clandestine correspondents?"
36366Are those Francoises the people you have so frequently visited by stealth?
36366Are you acquainted with its contents, sir?"
36366Are you anxious to try for a fortune?"
36366Are you badly hurt, my man?"
36366As to what I have done, it is not much, but it is--""Something?
36366At last Alan turns his face toward the lawyer, and then that gentleman bursts out:"Well, are you going to sit there all night?
36366Because of a simple misunderstanding, would he implore me to judge between them?
36366Besides, does human instinct go for nothing?
36366But Richard Stanhope merely nodded, with a careless,"how are you, Charlie?"
36366But tell me, does it give you any idea of her destination?
36366But the girl leans forward with hungry eyes, saying eagerly:"How?
36366But the upper floor, and its occupants?
36366But when it was over, what was Archibald Warburton more than the poorest pauper who dies in a hospital and is buried by the coroner?
36366But who is there to answer that advertisement?"
36366But why do you suggest a possibility of your absence?"
36366But_ he_ do n''t forget you; do you, Franzy, my boy?
36366Ca n''t you get in a policeman quietly?
36366Can he have seen_ that_?"
36366Can he hear me as I speak?"
36366Can we be sure of no interruption while you listen?"
36366Can you give me any hint upon which to act?"
36366Could he ever forgive Leslie Warburton?
36366Could it be that she, in the desperation of the moment, in her struggle for safety, had stricken that cruel blow?
36366Could this thing be true?
36366D''ye mean to have her die on our hands?"
36366Daisy, will you come with me?"
36366Did this detective think himself conversing with Archibald?
36366Did ye ever know us to be without two perches?"
36366Did you know this figure?"
36366Did you return safely and secretly?"
36366Do n''t ye want me to git rid o''_ this_ one fer ye?"
36366Do n''t you know that there is such a thing as a last straw?"
36366Do n''t you love my Mamma?"
36366Do n''t you see that even after she''s got the young un, we shall have her in a tighter grip than ever, once she''s married to Franzy?
36366Do ye think this thing''s settled?
36366Do ye want more than ye''ve got Josef?"
36366Do you expect an angel''s visit here to- night?"
36366Do you know how I effected my escape that night?"
36366Do you know the way to Devil''s alley?"
36366Do you suppose Vernet will let you slip now?
36366Do you take me fer a stool- pigeon, to go into such a deal with my eyes blinded?
36366Do you think in the moment when I find the taint removed, I would doubly defile myself by taking the step you have proposed?
36366Do you want him?"
36366Do you want to do a little police duty to- night?"
36366Does Mother Hubbard look like you?"
36366Does it contain anything that I may know?"
36366Even if he should summon Leslie, would she come at his call?
36366Evidently his impressions are satisfactory for his face lights up as he asks:"Not-- not Mr. John Ainsworth, once the friend of Arthur Pearson?"
36366Franz and Nance, poor Nance, going-- whither?
36366Franz seemed to hesitate and then said:"S''posin''I was n''t, wot''s that got to do with it?"
36366Good Lord, you do n''t suppose the fellow''s been sleepin''through all this?"
36366Good heavens, has everybody gone into high dramatics?
36366Governor, how are ye?"
36366Grip, is this so very necessary?"
36366Grip?"
36366Grip?"
36366Had she not suffered enough for the"Warburton honor?"
36366Had she not trusted to him?
36366Had the drops been administered?
36366Has this fellow given you much trouble?"
36366Have I found you at last?
36366Have I hit the mark, say?"
36366Have they returned to rob him, and then to leave him?
36366Have ye got a hen- roost handy?"
36366Have you anything further to add to your triumph?"
36366Have_ you_ any fears of that sort?"
36366He appeared to be a deaf mute, and looked like--""Like an organ- grinder minus his organ?"
36366He knows it?"
36366He labors a moment for breath, and then says:"You have been so good-- will-- will you do one thing-- more?"
36366He looked toward Franz, and seeing the stolidity of this individual, inquired:"Who is that gentleman?"
36366He now comes forward with a lurch, and inquires with tipsy gravity:"Wot''s the row?
36366How are you?"
36366How came Vernet at this masquerade, of all others?
36366How did she git inter yer clutches?
36366How did the proposition strike ye?"
36366How do you get on?"
36366How do you know this?"
36366How long has Franz been away?"
36366How long will it take to get a letter to Australia, and an answer or a journey back?"
36366How many was there, at the time of the killin''?"
36366How will it do?"
36366How''s business?
36366I found him out at once, and did n''t Leslie and I see you enter together?"
36366I have a right to know why you followed us, or me, to that house to- night?"
36366I kin spare her; who''s she, anyhow?
36366I suppose, at the right time, you will let me into the''true inwardness''of the Sailor business?"
36366I''ve just reckelected about that gal''s comin'', an''--I say, old woman, can she hear us if she happens to be awake?"
36366If I''ll floor the old man, ca n''t you tackle the gal?"
36366If so-- well, what then?
36366If you were my father would I loathe these meetings?
36366If_ this_ were intended for Archibald Warburton, who, then, was the six- foot masker?
36366In Heaven''s name, who are you, that you know so much?"
36366In another moment, the voice of Franz breaks out:"Ai n''t there another glim somewhere?"
36366Is Krutzer awake?"
36366Is my sister- in- law always to come between us?"
36366Is n''t you afraid?"
36366Is she indeed so near me?
36366Is she not a good and faithful wife; a tender, loving mother to little Daisy?
36366Is that Dick inside it?
36366Is the storm doing any damage?"
36366Is there any body to bleed?"
36366Is there any thing else, sir?"
36366Is this man who is his captor, Van Vernet?
36366Is this your regular beat, my friend?
36366Is your mask adjusted?
36366Is your name as easily altered as your face, sir?"
36366Is_ he_ in the mystery?"
36366Krutzer?"
36366Later in the evening, Mrs. Follingsbee captured him and inquired:"Have you heard Leslie''s last bit of Quixotism?"
36366Leslie, my dear, ca n''t you manage him?"
36366Let us try and sift this matter: A lady may be shadowed for numerous reasons; do you know why you are watched?"
36366Look both of you; do you see_ that_?"
36366Look, both of you; do you see_ that_?"
36366Man, are you determined to be an idiot?
36366May I keep this letter?"
36366Menard lays the head gently back upon the damp hay and asks, shudderingly:"How did you discover it, Parks?"
36366Might he not naturally conclude that a secret existed between Alan Warburton and the Francoises, and, if so, what was the nature of that secret?
36366Mr. Stanhope,"with sudden appeal in her voice,"how much do you know concerning me, and my present business with you?"
36366Mr. Warburton-- pardon the question-- was there any difference, any misunderstanding, between you and Leslie?"
36366Need I say that only the most urgent necessity could have brought me here at such a time?"
36366No sound could be heard from without, and after another moment of waiting she called sharply:"Who''s there?"
36366Nothing is visible but the darkness, and this, somehow; seems to reassure him, for with a snort of impatience he calls out:"Who knocks?"
36366Now, Nance,"turning sharply toward the girl,"what have you got, eh?"
36366Now, leaving friendship to take care of itself, do you feel that the_ success_ of the Raid depends upon Vernet''s assistance?"
36366Now, tell me why did not Van make this attempt himself?
36366Now, what d''ye want with me?"
36366Oh!--"as Stanhope draws back with a deprecating gesture--"you need n''t deny your identity: is n''t Mr. Follingsbee here as Uncle Sam?
36366Oh, about that brandy cock- tail; you''ll join me, I hope?"
36366Oh,"with a sudden burst of passion,"did my husband suspect it, too, then?"
36366On a lay, or on a lark?
36366Or ai n''t I growed as handsome as ye expected to see me?"
36366Or are you still vexed because I_ wo n''t_ fall in love with your favorite Alan?
36366Our boys do much of their letter writing there, eh?"
36366Out with it man; what have you found?"
36366Parks, has he not?"
36366Parks?
36366Parks?"
36366Remove her, the bulk of property probably goes to second wife--_step mother_, d''ye see?
36366S''pose they should run yer to earth, eh?"
36366Sanford arose, hesitated, and then said:"If you would trust me, sir, I might-- but you have sent for Carnegie?"
36366Say, ca n''t ye remember me at all?"
36366Say, gal, does that document leave_ me_ out?"
36366See here, Nance, are ye willin''to make a bold stroke fer them shiners?"
36366Shall I have her back?"
36366Shall I order the carriage?
36366Shall we ever run the fellow down, Parks?"
36366She ca n''t go to no hospital?"
36366She is not your child, you say; may I not take her to our hospital?"
36366She makes a final frantic effort to free herself and howls out:"Let me go; what have I done?
36366She starts, gasps, and then, with her head protruding from the canvas, asks, huskily:"How?
36366Should she crown her list of miseries with this culminating horror?
36366Should she obey them?
36366Sit down there, young man, and tell me, have n''t you been playing that_ role_ long enough?"
36366So_ what_ do you expect of me?
36366Soon after that, I was approached by the Francoises-- you have seen them?"
36366Stanhope bends to catch the whispered reply, and then asks:"Can you answer a few questions that I am anxious to put to you?"
36366Stanhope glanced sharply from under his lashes, and then asked carelessly:"Of what nature?"
36366Stanhope?"
36366Stanhope?"
36366Stop: what was the calling of this Thomas Uliman?"
36366Suppose a cop comes in here and looks down, what''ud he see?
36366Suppose this wealthy aristocrat and the Sailor assassin should prove the same, what would follow?
36366Suppose, I could help you two to earn some money easy and honest, what then?"
36366Tell me, since you have brought me back to myself, how,_ how_ can I ransom Daisy Warburton?"
36366The gal ai n''t dead yet, is she?"
36366The lady bows her head, and he proceeds:"First, then, have you a secret?"
36366The lady in question is in the house at this present moment, is she not?"
36366The question, who killed Josef Siebel?
36366The stranger shifted his position slightly, glanced up and down the street, drew a step nearer the policeman, and asked:"Is it a large force?"
36366The wounded man groaned, and then whispered feebly:"I''m done for-- I think-- are you-- an officer?"
36366Then Stanhope, withdrawing his eyes, and leaning back in his seat, asked suddenly:"Is that all?"
36366Then aloud:"Do you suspect any one?"
36366Then as the carriage again rounded the corner:"You see that fellow in policeman''s uniform, Jim?"
36366Then he glances sharply about the room, and asks impatiently:"Come, now, what have ye been up to?"
36366Then here''s another thing: how are ye goin''ter git that gal''s consent?"
36366Then in a louder tone:"Ah, so we are no longer lawyer and witness?"
36366Then possibly you know my errand?"
36366Then setting the cup hastily down;"Now, old Top, wot''s your bid?"
36366Then she asked:"And you have nursed me through my illness; you alone?"
36366Then to Charlie--"So you''re a policeman?
36366Then turning sharply toward her:"Are there other pictures of Mr. Alan Warburton in this house?"
36366Then turning to the intruder he says suavely:"How are you, my man?
36366Then, in a tone of discouragement:"What is he at, anyhow?"
36366Then, plying his fan with renewed vigor, the Celestial murmurs tenderly:"''Mellican lady slick?"
36366Then,''where is dad going?''
36366There are none of the train to be found here, except-- except the Krutzers; and who can identify_ them_ after twenty years?"
36366There goes a-- a_ Turk_, I guess, and--""What makes they all have black things on their faces, Millie?"
36366There was a moment''s silence, then Walter Parks leaned forward:"Have you anything to tell me concerning my two detectives?"
36366They have_ not_ both disappeared, have they?
36366They look from one to the other silently for a moment, and then Joe Blakesly says:"Has he been robbed?"
36366They tell me that this is her home; is she your daughter?"
36366This has made you watchful, and, being watchful, you discover that you have-- what?
36366This she saw at a glance, and then came the thought: What if she were to die, and just at a time when so much depended upon her?
36366Vernet bowed again, turned to go, hesitated, turned back, and said:"And the Raid?"
36366Vernet?"
36366Wall,"replacing one revolver in a hip- pocket, and trifling carelessly with the other, while he seats himself upon the couch,"what did ye find out?"
36366Wanted to see ef I was asleep, or playin''possum, eh?
36366Warburton?"
36366Warburton?"
36366Warburton?"
36366Warburton?"
36366Warburton?"
36366Warburton?"
36366Warburton?"
36366Warburton?"
36366Was he there in that character?
36366Was he, in any way, mixed up with their family secrets?
36366Was it not the only time?
36366Was this girl a plotter, too?
36366Was your absence noted?
36366We know very little about Pearson, and the little one; what can you tell us?"
36366We''re in a pretty mess, ai n''t we?"
36366Well, shall you follow Mr. Stanhope''s advice?"
36366What are these miserable outlaws that they should baffle Van Vernet the skillful, the successful, the daring?
36366What are they to you?"
36366What can_ we_ do?"
36366What caprice of their evil natures prompted those wretches to do me this one kindness?"
36366What could have caused these two to make such a journey at such a time?
36366What did he know?
36366What do you expect of me?"
36366What do you know of my parentage?
36366What does he know of the Francoises?
36366What does this mystery mean?
36366What had he done, or discovered, or guessed at, during those intervening days?
36366What had he done?
36366What had she to lose?
36366What had she to lose?
36366What has he done?"
36366What have you done?"
36366What have you to say?"
36366What is he doing?
36366What is he?
36366What is it that causes Van Vernet''s eyes to gleam, and his lips to twitch with some new, strange excitement, as they put the casket down?
36366What is it that has come upon him this night?
36366What is there in common between Mr. Alan Warburton, aristocrat, and a nameless sailor, with scars upon his face and blood upon his hands?
36366What is this disgrace that is likely to burst upon us at any moment?"
36366What shall you do next?"
36366What should she say to this man whose eyes seemed looking into her very soul?
36366What sin or shame are you hiding under his name?
36366What was he doing?
36366What was this mystery which, he instinctively felt, had taken root on the night of the fruitless Raid?
36366What were their intentions?
36366What were you going to say, Sanford?"
36366What would you be willin''to do ter git the heft of it?"
36366What wretched secret have you brought into my brother''s house?
36366What''s this fortin'', and where''s it comin''from?
36366What, then, was the secret which that stately mansion concealed?
36366When can you do-- the job?"
36366Where had he spent the remainder of that eventful night?
36366Where had they gone?
36366Where have you been, making yourself a nuisance?"
36366Where is Miss Daisy''s maid?"
36366Where is he now?"
36366Where is this man?"
36366Where was he?
36366Where ye goin''?"
36366Who am I?
36366Who are these Francoises?
36366Who are ye, ye sneak, that has played yerself fer Cully Devens?"
36366Who is he?
36366Who is he?"
36366Who is the young- un she talks of, an''have you got it?
36366Who is this man?
36366Who were the two that had sailed to Europe by proxy?
36366Who''s that gal, I say?
36366Why did I follow you?
36366Why did Van Vernet enter their house in disguise?
36366Why did n''t you shorten it in front, and wear pointed shoes?"
36366Why do I leave Warburton Place?
36366Why do n''t ye settle the gal afore we pad?"
36366Why had Alan Warburton secured his services to shadow his sister- in- law?
36366Why had he sought the Francoise abode on that especial night?
36366Why is he thus?
36366Why not force him to tread with her this valley of humiliation?
36366Why not leave the mistake as it stood?
36366Why not yield to the temptation?
36366Why should she not?
36366Why was I not permitted to die in my delirium?"
36366Why was he there?
36366Why, in the name o''blazes, air ye more afraid of a cop than you''d be o''the hangman?"
36366Will they come back yet again?
36366Will you answer a few more questions?"
36366Will you arrange it at once?"
36366Will you come with me, and work for your star and uniform?"
36366Will you go, Miss French?"
36366Will you hold your tongue and listen?"
36366Will you let me take you to your mother''s at once?
36366Will you let me tell you all the truth; will you listen and judge between Leslie Warburton and me?"
36366Will you marry the man who will find your little girl?"
36366Will you remain just five minutes, to please me?"
36366Will you tell her I am about to go, and that I will let her hear from me further through you?
36366Will you tell him of the lover who was here to- night, disguised as a woman, the better to hover about you?"
36366Will_ you_ find her for me?"
36366With Archibald removed, what would stand between her lover and herself?
36366Woman, have you neither heart nor conscience?
36366Wot are ye up to, old uns?
36366Wot''s that got ter do with it?"
36366Would I shudder at your touch?
36366Would Mrs. French forgive this appearance of mystery, and believe and trust in her still?
36366Would a mere misunderstanding with any one, bring such a look to Leslie''s face as I saw there when I left her alone with him?
36366Would he, if he could?
36366Would it cause Alan Warburton to address such words to me as those he uttered in his study?
36366Would it drive her from her home, secretly, like a fugitive?
36366Would it leave her in a deathly faint at its close?
36366Would my whole soul rise in rebellion against your persecutions?"
36366Would she keep her home open for Alan, and a welcome ever ready for the lost Daisy, who must surely return some day?
36366Would they come back?
36366Would you add murder to your list of transgressions?"
36366You are anxious to make an informal inquiry about the search for the lost child, I presume?"
36366You are sure I wo n''t be detained later than eleven?"
36366You are sure you understand everything?"
36366You are--""Not your child?"
36366You can give me samples of the handwriting of every one of our men, ca n''t you?"
36366You comprehend?"
36366You do n''t forget Leschen-- little Leschen?"
36366You have hinted that she does not love her husband-- by what right do you make the assertion?
36366You know Follingsbee, the lawyer?"
36366You know the man?"
36366You seem to fear to offend Vernet, Dick?"
36366You understand about the drops, yes?
36366You-- you have no reason for thinking yourself watched, or your identity suspected, I hope?"
36366[ Illustration:"Carnegie, do you ever make a mistake?"
36366[ Illustration:"Do you give yourselves in custody?"]
36366[ Illustration:"Franz and Nance, poor Nance, going-- whither?"
36366[ Illustration:"How are ye, old uns?
36366[ Illustration:"Is this the office of the City Detective Agency?"
36366_ Do_ I?"
36366_ I_ conceal our Daisy?
36366_ No._""You know the ground?"
36366_ What_ are they doing?
36366_ could_ we?"
36366_ you!_ Oh, Alan, why, why?"
36366a step?"
36366and you want me to manage it?"
36366continues the little one,"ca n''t I stay with Mother Goose?
36366cried the rascal, in a mocking tone,"do yer think that yer can take me?
36366for what am I arrested?
36366grunted Franz,"and did you tell me they had arrested somebody?"
36366grunts Franz, turning to Papa,"where''s she been?"
36366has he not told you?"
36366has she?"
36366he asks, still seeming to find the revolver an object of interest,"or hain''t ye?"
36366he exclaimed, while the menacing knife pressed against his throat;"what does this mean?"
36366he exclaims hoarsely,"where then is my child?"
36366he said, absently;"what''s to be done?"
36366how do you think to get it?"
36366how?"
36366is it really Franzy?"
36366is_ that_ madness known, too?"
36366muttered the hopeful son;"who did the killin''?"
36366mutters Franz under his breath, and then he moves forward with an unsteady lurch, saying aloud:"Eh?
36366pointing to Papa and Mamma;"and do n''t it make no mention o''_ me_?"
36366queried Leslie, a look of sad surprise crossing her face,"you, too, have guessed it?
36366queried Papa;"what about?"
36366queried the Chief, glancing down at the packet,"have you done?"
36366queried the stranger;"then what the Moses are_ you_ doin''here?"
36366queries the masker solicitously;"''Mellican lady walm?
36366says Franz, as he seems to notice Mamma''s position for the first time;"wot ails_ you_?"
36366she cries fiercely;"do you know where that child is?"
36366she cries, seizing his hand in both her own,"where is Leslie?"
36366she cries,"or_ did_ I hear a child''s voice, a voice like my little Daisy''s, calling''mamma?''"
36366she exclaimed scornfully;"and who will prevent it?"
36366snarls the burly ruffian, turning toward the door,"wot d''ye take me for, ye blasted old fence?"
36366then it was a man?"
36366to cease to be a detective?"
36366trusted blindly; and now-- had not the right time come?
36366what?"
36366when?
36366who?"
36366who?--""We found him up by the rocks, lying on his blanket--""Killed?"
36366with an air of abstraction; then, recalling himself:"Do you know the nature of the work required of you?"
39229A party of them drinking, eh? 39229 A present?
39229A_ vaurien_, am I? 39229 Ah-- have you a pencil, if you please?"
39229Ai n''t I been a chauffeur and garage man?
39229Am I an ignorant''Cajun? 39229 And he knew that you guessed him to be the Masquer?"
39229And someone was trailin''you? 39229 And you, Henry-- a special officer of the governor''s?
39229Angry? 39229 Any other nominations?
39229Are n''t you ashamed of yourself?
39229Are n''t you going to invite me, Uncle Joseph?
39229Are n''t you one of the family? 39229 Are you crazy?"
39229Arrest-- you, Uncle Jachin?
39229Awake at last, are you?
39229But he''s not interested in oil is he?
39229But why the devil did n''t you hang on to that stock? 39229 But you say that he ai n''t the original Masquer?"
39229But, my dear Henry, if he knew you to be the Midnight Masquer, do you think he''d want to go into business with you?
39229By the way, are n''t you the Prince de Gramont? 39229 Ca n''t fight a sure thing, can you?
39229Can I help you, sir?
39229Did he go alone, or were you with him?
39229Did it occur to you that maybe I was as much in need of a friend as you were?
39229Did n''t see you in there-- what you doin''so far away from Houma, eh?
39229Did n''t you expect me?
39229Did they hear us coming? 39229 Did you actually see the Midnight Masquer last night?
39229Did you bring that chauffeur?
39229Did you meet him?
39229Did you see Ben Chacherre?
39229Did you swallow all that?
39229Do n''t consider any dealings with it until I have looked it over, will you?
39229Do you forget, Mr. Gramont, the affair of the Midnight Masquer? 39229 Do you gentlemen know this man?"
39229Do you know Fell''s writing?
39229Do you know there''s a crowd down in the street-- policemen and automobiles and a lot of excitement?
39229Do you know, Mr. Gramont, that oddly enough there were no pin holes in that paper?
39229Do you know, a most curious thing----"Yes?
39229Do you know, it was a lucky thing that you had no chance to dispose of the jewels and money you obtained? 39229 Do you like little Columbine?"
39229Do you realize that you are intruding most unwarrantably into my private matters?
39229Do you really mean to use that word?
39229Do you seriously think that note is genuine?
39229Do you suppose I''ll deny firing you?
39229Do you think that you will know me again?
39229Do you wish to eat it, that you sniff so hard?
39229Do you?
39229Do?
39229Does this here Miss Ledanois,asked Hammond,"play in with you in the game?
39229Dolt that you are, do I have to be known when the check is endorsed under my signature? 39229 Eh?
39229Eh?
39229Eleven to- morrow morning, eh?
39229Emotion? 39229 Expect you?
39229For what, Mr. Fell? 39229 Forfeit-- where are your masks, sober gentlemen?
39229Free country, ai n''t it?
39229Gramont?
39229Gumberts is coming out day after to- morrow, is he? 39229 Hammond, how much of this is true?"
39229Hammond, you''ll kindly remember this conversation, in case your future testimony is needed----"Confound you, what d''you mean talking that way?
39229Hammond? 39229 Have I not some little rights in the world, monsieur?"
39229Have n''t you any friends or relatives to take care of you?
39229Have you a moment to spare, Gramont?
39229Have you any light to throw on the occasion?
39229Here, where''s your warrant? 39229 Here-- with them?
39229Him?
39229How many places had you robbed up to then? 39229 Huh?"
39229I got in, did n''t I?
39229I hope you''re not going to take the fine artistic pose that it is a crime to make money?
39229I might have guessed that something unusual was----"No; how could you guess?
39229I s''pose you would like to know that, huh? 39229 I suppose we may proceed to business?"
39229I suppose you''ve been gadding all around the town ever since the Revellers opened the season?
39229I suppose your sense of duty will force you to disclose everything to her?
39229I thought you said you''d not heard of it?
39229I try not to be a snob, eh? 39229 I wonder what happened to them so abruptly?
39229I wonder who that was, now?
39229I''ll leave the car outside town, and hoof it in with the boxes, so that nobody will notice the car or connect it with the packages, eh? 39229 I''m here to prove it, ai n''t I?
39229I-- ah-- my friends, I do n''t suppose you''ve seen Bob recently?
39229If he knew that I had brains enough to pull off that stunt and keep all New Orleans up in the air-- wouldn''t I make a good partner? 39229 Important?
39229In a sense, yes; why not?
39229Is n''t it pretty, auntie?
39229Is there anything important?
39229It does look that way, does n''t it? 39229 It is understood that you will not go about tracing these little clues?
39229Jachin, huh? 39229 Look here-- you''re a stranger here?
39229M. le prince is seeing America,_ n''est ce pas_? 39229 May I call?
39229Me? 39229 Me?"
39229No chance?
39229No one saw the actual murder, then?
39229No''joyment in you any more? 39229 Now what was the big surprise that you just mentioned you were going to give poor Mr. Fell this afternoon?"
39229Now, without confession? 39229 Oh, I half suspected that it was you----""But you were not sure?"
39229Or have you invested your winnings and bought this here alley?
39229Say, you''bo, who sold you chips in this game? 39229 Scared?
39229Seen anything of an aviator''s helmet around here?
39229Seven of them so far, eh? 39229 Shall I not continue with my reading?
39229Silly? 39229 So Hearne has given up everything, has he?
39229So few homes are worthy the name; so few have in them the intimate air of use and friendliness-- why are so many furnished from bargain sales? 39229 So this is the way you keep your promises, is it?
39229So you do n''t know what happened to- day, eh? 39229 So you killed the Goog, eh?"
39229So you think that he''s immune from influence, do you?
39229So you wo n''t be arrested, eh? 39229 So,"the girl smiled a little,"you would betray your business friends in order to make a bit of money for me?"
39229So?
39229So?
39229Some car, eh?
39229Some criminal?
39229Take me back, will you? 39229 Tell me, Henry Gramont, what mad impulse brought you to all this?
39229That''s likely, is n''t it?
39229That?
39229The truth? 39229 Then there''s nothing to be done?"
39229Then you are not aware that Mr. Fell is a man of large affairs?
39229Then you had someone on my trail?
39229Then you still mean to go to Jachin Fell with your scheme?
39229This fellow is your chauffeur, ai n''t he? 39229 This is Mr. Gramont?
39229This is for a thousand dollars----"Can I not read?
39229Those boxes? 39229 To see me?
39229Unwarrantably?
39229Want to hit back for town?
39229Was n''t he caught with the goods?
39229Well, Chacherre,he said, rising and returning to the Creole,"any further news from Houma?
39229Well, how d''you expect to come out on top of the heap?
39229Well, who really did profit by my loss? 39229 Well, why in hell did n''t you say all that in the first place, instead o''beefin''around?
39229Well,and the chief gestured despairingly,"I guess that lets out the real Masquer, eh?"
39229Well? 39229 Well?"
39229Well?
39229Were they not given you to wear to- night? 39229 What about the oil company?
39229What are you doing here, then?
39229What are you doing out on the streets alone?
39229What business is that of yours, sir?
39229What d''you think I am-- a boche? 39229 What do you get out of it?"
39229What do you mean by this?
39229What do you mean? 39229 What do you mean?"
39229What do you mean?
39229What do you mean?
39229What do you say, Hammond? 39229 What do you think of selling the lease to these other men?"
39229What has that got to do with our present business?
39229What lottery?
39229What luck?
39229What means all this mystery and melodramatic action, Gramont?
39229What t''ell you doin''?
39229What the devil d''you mean?
39229What the devil does the fellow mean?
39229What was he like? 39229 What would you do, then, if you were in my place?"
39229What you doin''here?
39229What''s Maillard''s story?
39229What''s been going on here?
39229What''s stirrin'', anyhow?
39229What''s that about the Midnight Masquer? 39229 What''s that?"
39229What''s the matter, man?
39229What''s this Mi- Carême I''ve been reading about in the papers, anyhow? 39229 What''s this, now-- what''s this?"
39229What''s this-- some hoax? 39229 What''s to hinder getting my own company on its feet?
39229What''s up? 39229 What''s your motive, Fell?"
39229What?
39229What?
39229What?
39229What?
39229Where''s Ben Chacherre? 39229 Where''s Charlie the Goog?"
39229Where''s the Goog?
39229Where''s the sheriff''s body?
39229Where-- where on earth did_ you_ obtain such a thing? 39229 Who are you guys?
39229Who are you, monsieur?
39229Who are you?
39229Who knows? 39229 Who knows?"
39229Who owns the land next to the Ledanois place?
39229Who sent for us?
39229Who was the man, then?
39229Who you kiddin''now?
39229Who''re you?
39229Who''s he?
39229Who-- who are you?
39229Why did you do it, then?
39229Why not call it the''American Prince Oil Company''?
39229Why not, if you got money in it?
39229Why not? 39229 Why not?"
39229Why would n''t the boss leave the money come out of the takin''s, hey?
39229Why, what''s the matter?
39229Why?
39229Why?
39229Will you also take a message from me to the editor of your newspaper-- and see that it goes to the others as well?
39229Will you dine with us to- morrow evening, Lucie? 39229 Will you excuse us one moment, Lucie?
39229Will you play out the game hard to the end? 39229 Will you stop laughing at me?
39229With him?
39229Wonder what rich chap can be down here at his summer cottage this time of year? 39229 Would n''t trust you, eh?"
39229Yes? 39229 Yes?"
39229Yet, what''s to hinder my going ahead, in the meantime?
39229You are Ben Chacherre, eh? 39229 You are basing your firm conviction,"he queried,"very largely upon your discovery of the free oil?"
39229You are quite satisfied that there is nothing serious in the affair, then?
39229You got Chacherre''s wire about the stuff in his car? 39229 You intend to mask for the Maillards''?"
39229You mean he stung you?
39229You mean----Lucie drew a quick breath,"Bob?"
39229You realize the fact, eh?
39229You remember that I thought he suspected me of being the Masquer? 39229 You saw him?"
39229You say the sheriff was here, then went over toward the Ledanois land?
39229You think I murdered Maillard, then?
39229You think so?
39229You think there''s oil on the land?
39229You think they got us, cap''n? 39229 You thought you had Hammond sewed up tight, did n''t you?
39229You watch out, cap''n, I heard''em say somethin''about Memphis Izzy-- remember the guy I told you about one day? 39229 You were excited when you wrote this, were n''t you?
39229You would betray your business associates to help me?
39229You''d try blackmail, would you?
39229You''re Ben Chacherre, are n''t you? 39229 You''re not goin''to pull the trick again, then?"
39229You''re not going to send me to prison, I trust?
39229You''re not offended with me, Lucie?
39229You''re sure you''ll not kidnap me or anything like that? 39229 You''re willing to take care of all the rest of the gang, chief?"
39229You''ve got the stuff?
39229You''ve made copies of this, of course? 39229 You''ve not heard?"
39229You-- do you know that those boxes were taken from my car?
39229You-- you really think so? 39229 You-- you wish to cash a check?"
39229Your argument about inducing Mr. Fell to go into business with you is naïve----"But, as an argument, is n''t it quite sound?
39229Your car? 39229 A piker-- when he can make a hundred- thousand- dollar haul?
39229A very pleasant surprise, Maillard?
39229About them cars from Texas-- any news?"
39229All ready, Memphis Izzy?
39229All she needs,"drawled Chacherre,"is some good tires, a new coat of paint, a good steel chassis, and a new engine----""Huh?"
39229Am I a telephone, then?
39229An American, is n''t he?
39229An agent of the gang there?"
39229And I suppose that the exigencies of the case justified you, a private citizen, in carrying arms and using them?
39229And do you know why young Maillard wanted to buy the land?
39229And how had Lucie come into the affair?
39229And how in the name o''goodness did they get in_ her_ house?
39229And how was he to tell her the truth?
39229And now you come along----""Man, what are you driving at?"
39229And now----""Now, I suppose,"said the girl, thoughtfully,"you''ll put that awful Creole of yours on the track of Mr. X.?
39229And what was it that he, Gramont, was supposed to have done?
39229Any message to send?"
39229Any one?"
39229Aramis?
39229Are my family affairs to be an open book to the world?"
39229Are n''t the stones pretty?"
39229Are you going to let Miss Ledanois''fortunes go to wrack and ruin?"
39229Are you willing to arrest Jachin Fell, or not?"
39229As I may not see Miss Ledanois in the meantime, will you be kind enough to assure her presence at the meeting?
39229As bandits?"
39229Ben Chacherre, the sneak thief-- how had Chacherre come here?
39229Besides, are n''t we fellow criminals?"
39229Bootlegging?
39229Bring out any orders?"
39229But tell me, Lucie-- are you angry?"
39229But what about them aviator''s clothes?"
39229But who was this brown monk, who seemed to know so much, who danced so divinely, whose French was like music?
39229But why tell her anything?
39229But why, then?
39229But, sergeant, how about the quiet little man who came along last night at the Maillard house and asked about the car?
39229But-- was it that sort of a proposal?
39229By the way, does Fell know anything about Hammond having been the first Masquer?"
39229By the way, get that tin box out of my trunk, will you?
39229By the way, if I have need of you in running down the Masquer, may I call upon your services?"
39229By the way, you have n''t seen Bob?
39229Chacherre did not know that I was in partnership with the boss, get me?
39229Chacherre had something to do with the"place"--did that mean the adjacent property, or the Ledanois farm?
39229Come down to the library in five minutes, will you?
39229Counterfeiting?
39229Did Lucie Ledanois dream such a thing?
39229Did he get well?
39229Did he have the baseness to try and save himself through Lucie?
39229Did n''t you see me here a little while ago with Chacherre and the other boys?"
39229Did you find the airplane?"
39229Did you forget we were going to the Maillards''to- night?"
39229Did you leave all your manners in France, M. le prince?"
39229Did you suspect my business?"
39229Did your gown come for to- night?"
39229Do n''t you think so yourself, master?"
39229Do you believe in your heart that Maillard killed his father?"
39229Do you dare refuse?"
39229Do you know who he is?"
39229Do you know, I honestly thought you a fortune- hunter from Europe?
39229Do you like him?"
39229Do you not know me?"
39229Do you object?"
39229Do you solemnly promise, upon your honour, that the Midnight Masquer is dead for ever?"
39229Do you think I would spare such a man as you?
39229Do you think his story might be true-- that somebody else might have acted as the Masquer that night?"
39229Do you understand?
39229Does any one else know that you-- that you are interested in my affairs?"
39229Does any one here know you?"
39229Does n''t the argument hold good with her?"
39229Does this confession implicate Mr. Fell, here?"
39229Eh?
39229Eh?
39229Eh?"
39229Fell is one of the crack chess players here, is n''t he?"
39229Fell?"
39229Fell?"
39229For knowing too much of your private affairs?"
39229From whom, if you please?"
39229Gentlemen, you will kindly unmask-- which one of you is Robert Maillard?"
39229Get me?"
39229Go and tell him you do not know his signature-- well, who are you looking at?
39229Got any particular business here?
39229Got anything to prove that you ai n''t pullin''something cute on me?"
39229Got the ones outside?"
39229Gramont?"
39229Had the man guessed something?
39229Had the man known something?
39229Hammond is still safe in jail?"
39229Has Bob Maillard offered to buy your remaining land on the Bayou Terrebonne?"
39229Have I not eyes in my head?
39229Have n''t you discovered a thing?"
39229Have n''t you found him yet?"
39229Have you been hurt?"
39229Have you brought her?"
39229Have you examined your favour yet?"
39229Have you had secrets from me?"
39229He bought the car----""And who sold the car to the garage people?
39229He had thought to come upon some traces of the lottery game----"Seen all you want, bo?"
39229He has come to America to find a rich wife, is it not?"
39229He was thinking about that odd mention of Jachin Fell-- had Chacherre lied in saying he had come here on his master''s business?
39229He''s a geologist or engineer, I think?"
39229He''s not appeared again?"
39229Hello, Gramont-- where to?"
39229Here, Fell-- can''t you help us out?
39229His son''s life is one of roguery and drunken wildness----""Man, are you mad?"
39229How are you to take this man into town?
39229How can he prove anything, unless he had brought the police to open up that compartment?
39229How could he have guessed what only she and one other barely suspected?
39229How could he have known?
39229How did it happen that you sold him that stock of yours in the company?"
39229How did you get here?
39229How is she?"
39229How long had she suspected him, then?
39229I believe that you carry a wallet?
39229I caught him in the act-- you remember I told you about him?
39229I have the car outside, Lucie; may I have the pleasure of taking you driving?"
39229I intend to be up early in the morning and get off to work----""What?"
39229I presume that you''ll attend Comus with the Maillards?"
39229I presume that your late visitor left it as a memento?"
39229I rob only those who can afford to lose-- am I really as bad as you, in the eyes of morality and ethics?
39229I suppose you know that Bob Maillard has been arrested for parricide?
39229I suppose you know what is in those parcels?"
39229I suppose you''ve reconciled yourself to returning the stuff?"
39229I think that this party would be a rich haul for the Masquer, eh?
39229I think, gentlemen, we had better attend to bringing in the body of the sheriff, eh?"
39229I trust for your sake that the fact has n''t become generally known inside?"
39229I trust that Mrs. Maillard was righteous and envious?"
39229I trust your little game did not result in casualties?"
39229I trust, Mr. Gramont, that you will vote with me for the adjournment?"
39229I''ll have to leave him in jail, I suppose----"Why did Fell want to"get something"on Hammond?
39229I''ll stick it all in, huh?"
39229I''ll''phone Mr. Fell that you said you''d be away for a few hours, eh?
39229I''ve done it, often-- and I''ve always put the extra blank into my pocket, Ben, thinking it might come in handy; just as you did, eh?
39229In the house?"
39229Is my unwarrantable intrusion forgiven?"
39229Is that all right?"
39229Is that right?"
39229Is your car here?
39229It never occurred to you that other people might have been there in the bushes when the sheriff was murdered, eh?"
39229It was altogether absurd, of course-- yet why not?
39229It will give the good people a little more reason for jubilation to- night, eh?"
39229It''s still the Lenten season, is n''t it?
39229It''s worth thinking over, is n''t it?
39229Jachin Fell continued whimsically:"Regarding these very conditions many years ago, gentlemen, I was tempted to change my profession-- but to what?
39229Just come from New Orleans, did you?"
39229Kind of me, eh?
39229Lucie knew him better than most, and could not believe----"May I crave pardon for my error?"
39229Lucie, you do not mind if we smoke, I know?
39229Mardi Gras does n''t come more than once a year?
39229Mardi Gras only comes once a year, eh?
39229May I ask whose it is?"
39229Maybe you want to frame up an alibi for him?"
39229Memphis Izzy Gumberts, eh?
39229Memphis Izzy is attending to the lottery-- he''s got the whole layout up to the house, and we ai n''t touching it, see?
39229Memphis Izzy is going down to his summer cottage to- morrow, is n''t he?
39229Miss Ledanois is to be here at nine, Fell?"
39229My old man had a livery stable there, see?
39229Name, please?"
39229No danger of his getting lynched, I hope?"
39229No, that would n''t matter a hang to them-- but what checked them so quickly?"
39229Nobody hurt out here?"
39229Now he shot out a single word:"Why?"
39229Now, are n''t you glad that you confided in me?"
39229Now, my dear Gramont, I do not presume that you will still refuse to vote with me?
39229On page 49, a quotation mark was placed after"You''d try blackmail, would you?"
39229Or had those words been only a bit of meaningless impertinence-- a chance shaft which had accidentally flown home?
39229Or if you needed money, why did n''t you come to me?"
39229Out o''the Bible, ai n''t it?
39229Postoffice?
39229Pray, what is the secret?"
39229Ready, Joseph?"
39229Remember the oil concern to which you persuaded your precious father to sell some of Miss Ledanois''s bayou land?
39229Remember the real estate company to which you persuaded him to sell her St. Landry parish property?
39229Savvy?
39229Savvy?"
39229Say, are you going back to the city to- night?"
39229See here, where did you get that collar of jewels?"
39229Shall I let them in?"
39229Shall I tell you what I have discovered?"
39229Should he strike or not?
39229So Bob is drinking again, eh?
39229So old Ben got pinched, huh?
39229So you know about things, eh?
39229So your damnable influence goes as far as those two men, does it-- those men who are respected above all others in this city?
39229Some carnival jest?"
39229Some kind o''stock deal?"
39229Someone must have been watching us last night, eh?"
39229Something about Jachin and Boaz?"
39229Suggestions?"
39229Take care of that evidence, will you?
39229Take_ me_?"
39229Tell me, do you think that the Midnight Masquer will make an appearance to- night?"
39229Tell you what, m''friends-- come with me and I''ll find you a li''l drink, eh?
39229That is understood?"
39229The bandit bowed slightly, and addressed the gathering in a tone of dry raillery:"An outrage?
39229The loot was valued at about a hundred thousand?"
39229The words of the monk intrigued her; what had the man guessed?
39229Then what''s all the celebration about?"
39229Then who is he?"
39229There''s no doubt that Gramont pulled it, eh?"
39229They have n''t found the real murderer yet?"
39229They''ll tell you when they get back----""Where''d they go?"
39229Think he''s put the bulls wise?"
39229Think we can stop here, or go back to the hotel?
39229This Masquer gets no protection, see?
39229This organization is going in for politics, then?"
39229Three, was n''t it?"
39229Want me to keep each bunch separate, do n''t you?"
39229Was he to find that the seepage came from ground belonging to someone else?
39229Was he to lose this discovery, after all?
39229Was it a silly, boyish effort to be romantic-- was it a mere outburst of bravado?
39229Was it burned?"
39229Was it for that----?"
39229Was she behind the theft of the loot?
39229Was the garage locked?"
39229We''d be real detectives?"
39229Well, Jachin, it was a hoax after all, eh?
39229Well, chief, that''s good of you; sit down and have a cigar, eh?
39229Well, one night a guy come along and got the old man out of bed, and slips him fifteen hundred for a rig and a team, see?
39229What are you going to do with those boxes?"
39229What bothered you last night, or rather, who?"
39229What can we do?"
39229What could have turned up now?
39229What did that matter, though?
39229What did this mean?
39229What had happened?
39229What had happened?
39229What is he?
39229What kind of a crook is he, sergeant?"
39229What remains?
39229What the hell you doing around this joint?"
39229What was it Hammond said that day about him-- that nobody in the country had ever caught Memphis Izzy?
39229What"place"was it that the sheriff of Houma had been looking over?
39229What''s behind all this?"
39229What''s the big idea, anyway?
39229What''s the matter?
39229What''s up?"
39229What''s up?"
39229What''s wrong with that?"
39229When the crash comes, the fancy kid will be stinging his dad good and hard, eh?"
39229When''ll he get in?"
39229Where did it come from?
39229Where is he?
39229Where is it, Jachin?"
39229Where''s Hammond?"
39229Where''s Lucie?
39229Who aided you in this marvellous affair?"
39229Who cares?
39229Who could not dance with Columbine for partner?
39229Who pays for those lights?
39229Who taught you business, monkey?"
39229Who was he, Gramont?
39229Who''d we talk to here?
39229Who''s Dick Hearne at Houma?
39229Why attempt to make yourself still more attractive?
39229Why ca n''t you be satisfied with bagging so many other victims?
39229Why did you do it?
39229Why do n''t you like him?"
39229Why had the voices so abruptly ceased?
39229Why not?"
39229Why should I not be displeased?
39229Why should we be ashamed of chasing the dollar?
39229Why, what has happened?"
39229Why, when you went out on that first job of ours, d''you know it like to broke me up?
39229Why, you left it in the garage at Gumberts''place, eh?
39229Why-- this is n''t a joke of some kind?"
39229Why?
39229Why?"
39229Why?"
39229Why?"
39229Will not that admission obtain for me one little dance, one hint of forgiveness from fair Columbine?"
39229Will you need to use my car?"
39229Will you shake hands?"
39229Will you sit down, please?
39229Will you sit down, please?
39229Would Fell come?
39229Would you have me read your thoughts and give penance?"
39229You are aware of the evidence against him-- all circumstantial?"
39229You are not trying to frighten me?"
39229You ca n''t bag me----""Ca n''t I?"
39229You comprehend?"
39229You did n''t know that I was the fellow who pinched old Ben, did you?
39229You do n''t belong to that organization by any chance?
39229You do n''t know of any motive for the crime?"
39229You follow me?"
39229You get the idea?
39229You goin''to fight the case?"
39229You laid a charge this morning against a fellow named Chacherre?"
39229You men will be right along?"
39229You must own this place, hein?
39229You remember me?"
39229You remember them Chicago lotteries?
39229You understand?
39229You understand?
39229You who disappeared from the parish and became a vagrant----""So you turn up your sanctified nose at Ben Chacherre, do you?"
39229You''d given me up, eh?"
39229You''ll come?"
39229You''ll want a domino?"
39229You''re a stranger here?"
39229You''re in Bob''s company?"
39229You''re keepin''quiet about the name of the real Masquer; why?"
39229You''ve met him, I suppose?"
39229Young Maillard''s related to her, ai n''t he?"
39229Your gang has had a pleasant time, eh?
39229_ Ça?
39229a gun in your pocket, eh?
46656About Smith-- the mail flyer?
46656Alone?
46656And was it you who flew over in the helicopter, out of the swamp, and tried to drive us out of control with rockets?
46656And what did I do that for?
46656And what did I get to guard us against spooks?
46656And what of it?
46656And what was''what?''
46656And you found it, in a pilots''locker-- whose?
46656Are you just doing it to try and save this mail flyer?
46656Besides a drawing of an airplane-- what could it be, I wonder?
46656But how could he get away?
46656But how do you know?
46656But how does that help?
46656But what about the map?
46656But what did he use it for-- and how did he use it?
46656But what is a helicopter doing over the swamp?
46656But who can they be after?
46656But why should he hide it in the swamp, and need it at all? 46656 But-- was that still the shadow of the spook''plane, that I just saw?"
46656C- can''t you-- Scott, ca n''t you t- turn and go out on the bay?
46656Ca n''t Garry and Chick go along?
46656Called himself Morgan-- let''s see----"''Doc''Morgan?
46656Can he climb away in time?
46656Can you lift me up, make a''back''for me, do you think?
46656Can you?
46656Clever, is n''t it?
46656Could n''t he?
46656Did he say who was calling?
46656Did you ever fly a helicopter before?
46656Did you find anybody-- see anything?
46656Did you hear a shout?
46656Did you notice how that Thing looked while Chick''s flare burned?
46656Did you telephone-- and get the answer we expected?
46656Do n''t you think this''A''and the figure''one''might help?
46656Do you happen to recall that pirates used to sail in brigantines, and such- like ships? 46656 Do you see how taking this tracing fits in with the spectre in the sky?"
46656Do you suppose it could be help-- for us?
46656Do you?
46656Doc, you''re pretty interested in that, are n''t you? 46656 Doc-- Mr. Vance-- has anything been done about the Dart?"
46656Does that helicopter have anything to do with the mystery?
46656Ever read the''Proceedings''and other books of the Society for Psychical Research?
46656Feel all good?
46656Garry!--where did Chick go?
46656Get him?
46656Going back?
46656Has Doc come back?
46656Have you any other clues? 46656 How about another test, from the inner end of the roll?"
46656How about doing this?
46656How about it, Garry? 46656 How about some football tactics?"
46656How can it help that I know about streamlining the body, and the struts, and even the flying wires?
46656How can you say you are n''t a traitor?
46656How did he know?
46656How did you know I had troubles?
46656How do you know?
46656How was he''all wrong?''
46656How was that so''wrong?''
46656How?
46656I can tell you that you will be getting close to trouble if you start accusing me----"What''s all the excitement this time?
46656I can-- but how does Scott pick up the mail?
46656I have-- but how did you know that?
46656I suppose you think he''d have everything standing right out for everybody to see?
46656I wonder what for?
46656I''m glad you came, after all-- aren''t you?
46656If it is n''t an airplane-- what is it?
46656In that queer light, and with your minds keyed up to expect something----"But how would it help if that did explain the spook tonight? 46656 Is it one mystery-- or two?"
46656Is that so?
46656Is there a place near where they can take care of this pilot?
46656It was just put in the fixing bath-- how do you know the fumes of the chemicals in the smoke bomb did n''t ruin it-- stain it or fog it?
46656John,asked Garry,"what do these mean?
46656Mr. Tew, did you see anything-- hear anything?
46656Notice anything odd about it?
46656Now-- how?
46656Old Ti- O- Ga? 46656 One thing?
46656Or the blue- print Chick made-- that had some sort of complicated figures on it--"Where is it-- where is either one?
46656See anything, Garry? 46656 Sort of spooky, hey?
46656Sup-- supposing it is n''t a h- human being?
46656Suppose that hair- brained nephew of yours decides to''put on his act''just as it is coming in?
46656Then how did you know, Garry? 46656 Think we can make it?"
46656Un-- film that has n''t been exposed?
46656Was it sheet lightning?
46656Was that a step?
46656Well, now, you do, do you? 46656 Well, then-- where shall we look next?"
46656What are you doing that for?
46656What did they decide?
46656What did you do about it?
46656What did you find?
46656What did you mean by saying you thought we were the ones who had stolen a map?
46656What did you mean by throwing that smoke flare in on us?
46656What did you tell him?
46656What do you want this crate for, then? 46656 What had he lost?
46656What happened?
46656What has happened on four successive Friday nights, around Mystery Airport?
46656What has struck you?
46656What have you got in the way of evidence, clues or proofs?
46656What in the world?
46656What made you blow out the lantern?
46656What morning is this?
46656What of it?
46656What was I to do with it?
46656What will we find on the ground?
46656What''s going on?
46656What''s it all about?
46656What''s that, you got there?
46656What''s that?
46656What''s the matter?
46656What''s this?
46656Where are we?
46656Where is it coming from?
46656Where you think you find?
46656Where? 46656 White wings or red?"
46656Who was he?
46656Who was that?
46656Who would know better than a Morgan?
46656Who''ll go with me?
46656Who''s there?
46656Why did he have only the least important plan-- the sketch? 46656 Why do n''t you tell him to dive?"
46656Why not come up in the Dragonfly, and let Don fly the Dart, too?
46656Why not try again?
46656Why?
46656Why?
46656Why?
46656Why?
46656Will red wings get away from white wings?
46656Wo n''t the idiot ever give up?
46656Would n''t it be odd if my study of airplane design had some good effect in clearing up our mysteries?
46656Yes-- and there''s a man''s shout-- hear him?
46656Yes-- and what was last night?
46656You and Don got lost, did n''t you?
46656You do? 46656 You feel like walk?"
46656You find?
46656You know what sort of crime that is? 46656 You like rest?"
46656You mean by showing what we had clipped out of the film?
46656You mean-- Smith?
46656And how could your father help him locate anything?"
46656And the other ships-- had they dived, fallen?
46656And what for?
46656And with that he added a third mystery-- or did n''t he?
46656Besides-- where will we get the light?"
46656But how-- and by whom?"
46656But one thing Mother did tell us--""What?"
46656But what was he doing there, in the supposably untenanted boat shack?
46656But where does he get his light?"
46656But where is the control room crew, and the hangar man, and Doc, and-- Chick?"
46656But-- that old one is smart-- only--- why would they haunt the swamp, around here?
46656CHAPTER IX ONE MYSTERY-- OR TWO?
46656Ca n''t Don take her aloft?
46656Ca n''t he fly the mail?"
46656Chick bent down,"''Doc''--are you hurt?"
46656Did n''t the culprit walk into the trap?"
46656Did they echo with such caution because they belonged to a guilty body?
46656Did you recover-- the film?"
46656Don, will you and Garry help me to my boarding place?
46656For what?
46656For what?"
46656Garry pushed past the crowd assembling around Don and Chick,"Don, do you hear what they''re saying in the crowd?"
46656Had Vance made up all that story?
46656Had it been forced to settle there?
46656Had someone picked the lock?
46656Had something struck the hovel?
46656Had the"other man"come?
46656He had cheated, falsified his errand, imposed on my mother''s good nature----""Just a minute,"Scott broke in,"who told you he was coming in?"
46656He had it under some other papers----""Was he sure he remembered just how it had been left?"
46656He said he was a mail pilot, and he gave the name----""What?"
46656He would n''t want other pilots coming along to catch him flying to and fro-- but, at that-- how would he know what to look for-- and where?"
46656How about it?"
46656How about the shadow?"
46656How does he know anything, and what does old Ti know?"
46656How''d you get them?"
46656How, he proposed, could a man in a helicopter throw a picture on a cloud without being seen?
46656I do n''t suppose you searched the boathouse thoroughly-- or the helicopter, maybe?"
46656I guess it got mixed up with the regular stuff and was brought in here-- but how did it get to the swamps?"
46656If so, he thought, for what purpose?
46656In any maneuver they could execute, Don wondered, what would that Thing do?
46656In the name of all- possessed, though, who would of come up through my trap door with oilskins and green rubber gloves and a bathing cap on?
46656Is that so?"
46656It do n''t mean a thing, does it?"
46656Let''s have a look, what do you say?"
46656Let''s see it again, eh?"
46656Now, I like spooks!---""Yes?"
46656Or, Don wondered, was Chick himself in danger?
46656Or, were they but the phantoms of over- stimulated imagination?
46656Or-- did someone keep it there?
46656See how the shore curves in and out-- and the beginnings of Crab Channel and the other smaller inlets?"
46656Should he go back, or go on and get the blue- print?
46656Showing a light-- who are you?"
46656The Indian!--had he put something in the cocoa?
46656The airport?
46656Then you saw it?"
46656They ought to be kept in a locker, anyway-- like the others----""What others?"
46656Want to know what I dug up?"
46656Was it he who had played ghost?
46656Was that queerly disguised tracery of lines more than an airplane design?
46656Were they hesitating?
46656What are the other two doing?"
46656What are you doing in my boathouse?"
46656What did he want to find?
46656What is it-- besides a sketch of a new aircraft?"
46656What made you turn on us?"
46656What proved you did n''t project it?"
46656What shall we do?"
46656What then?
46656What were you doing at the airport, just before the film was stolen from our young friends?
46656What''s that, Doc?"
46656What''s to prove this is a picture of our swamp?
46656When do you''spring''the advertising part, eh, Toby?"
46656Where are the others?"
46656Where did that searchlight beam come from?
46656Where had the mystery ship gone?
46656Where''s the Dart?"
46656Which one?"
46656Who could be so mean?
46656Who had it?
46656Who''s in there?"
46656Why had that coppery face shown astonishment?
46656Why was it there at all?
46656Why?
46656Wo n''t the steamship company give us another trial?"
46656Would n''t that be awful?"
46656Would there be a crash?
46656You do n''t say?
46656You got it back, anyhow, so what''s the odds how it went?
46656You sleep, huh?"
46656You think you read that traced chart?
46656croaked the figure,"who else?"
46656he asked himself,"or what can I make of wing- taper, and camber, and all that?"
46656he exclaimed to himself,"I wonder if there are any more of those plans in the drawer of that table?
46656he wondered,"and where did it come from?"
46656muttered Don,"did you see what I saw?"
38664''And for to- morrow?'' 38664 ''As you passed through the hall, Humphreys, you saw no one, I suppose?''
38664''But I shall meet you again?'' 38664 ''Shall we go?''
38664''So you do know someone here?'' 38664 ''What are we to do?''
38664''What do you mean by that?'' 38664 ''You have some letters of introduction, I suppose?''
38664A launch? 38664 A novel, a volume of sermons, a pamphlet?
38664A signal?
38664A telegram?
38664A wife?
38664After all, why not?
38664An old padre seeing off an old nun to her new mission-- eh? 38664 And Carmen Valeri,"Hanaud asked in a pause;"is she troublesome this season?"
38664And how many men at the Semiramis ball were dressed as apaches and wore masks? 38664 And in time, I suppose,"he remarked casually,"you will perhaps ask him?"
38664And is that so?
38664And it did vanish?
38664And now perhaps you will tell me to what I owe your visit?
38664And now,she said,"what do you mean to do with me?"
38664And these, Peiffer-- what have you to say of these?
38664And to whom did you send it?
38664And what did he see?
38664And what do you deduce from these mysterious signs?
38664And what is life without a newspaper? 38664 And what sort of a person is it who''s supposed to walk?"
38664And what story had he to tell?
38664And what was being given?
38664And when did you go home?
38664And when may we expect Miss Carew?
38664And whom are you going to marry?
38664And why do you want to see me?
38664And you came here the moment you were released on your parole?
38664And you did know the man?
38664And you know Cowper, who was admiral out here?
38664And you, Mr. Carlyon, are the President''s private secretary?
38664And you, madame?
38664And you-- does this room suggest nothing to you? 38664 And you?"
38664And,I added doubtfully-- it was not my business to criticise--"on conditions he can walk out again?"
38664Another place, Burton, at once,he cried, and as soon as he and Hanaud were alone:"What good wind blows you to London?"
38664Are you sure of this?
38664Are you sure?
38664Are you?
38664At dinner?
38664At luncheon?
38664At the end of the second act?
38664At this hour, too?
38664At this hour? 38664 Beside the letters?
38664But I thought you said you did n''t mind about Channing?
38664But did you not also hear at this trial of yours that pearls can be peeled like an onion? 38664 But how are they known?"
38664But the ladder?
38664But the man?
38664But then you did?
38664But was that possible?
38664But what has the boar- hound to do with your story?
38664But where do your foreign revolutionaries come in?
38664But why did n''t you tell me?
38664But why in the world,he asked,"ca n''t you get your man in Gibraltar to come out here and see you?"
38664But why should you stay?
38664But you wo n''t wait till then?
38664But your valet?
38664By the way, what is the number of Calladine''s house?
38664By the way, you were at Rugby with Russell of my regiment, were n''t you?
38664Can you imagine a safer hiding- place? 38664 Can you?"
38664Colour- dreams?
38664Come and see her, will you?
38664Could we not give her just one more night of confidence and contentment? 38664 Destroy them?"
38664Did Channing sink-- by the sapling?
38664Did he notice you, do you think?
38664Did you care for him?
38664Did you ever hear of him?
38664Did you know that Linda was at one time engaged to Channing?
38664Did you know that, Miss Carew?
38664Did you?
38664Did you?
38664Did you?
38664Do n''t you feel that that is just how everything happened? 38664 Do you believe in omens?"
38664Do you dream, my friend? 38664 Do you know that we have all been greatly worried about you?
38664Do you know what is said to- night?
38664Do you know which room that is?
38664Do you mean that you sleep here alone?
38664Do you often lunch here?
38664Do you remember a great Danish boar- hound I used to have?
38664Do you remember to whom?
38664Do you see a small island with a lighthouse?
38664Do you see nothing?
38664Do you see that last sentence? 38664 Do you see this?"
38664Do you think Rymer expected these men?
38664Do you think she would tell me if she did?
38664Does that teach you nothing? 38664 Duke, what is it?"
38664Early this morning, when you left this room, you told Mr. Calladine that you would wait at the Semiramis until he telephoned to you?
38664For how long?
38664For what?
38664Has he been taken away?
38664Has she gone?
38664Have I?
38664How did you get it?
38664How high is it?
38664How in the world did you guess?
38664How long have you been here?
38664How long have you known?
38664How long will it take you to get to that point?
38664How much did he tell you?
38664How much money does a girl take with her to a ball? 38664 How shall I meet that girl?"
38664How?
38664I shall see you when I come back?
38664I think there''s a lighter alongside of her, is n''t there?
38664I wonder if you would walk with me as far as Piccadilly? 38664 I?"
38664I?
38664I?
38664In the library, when you were writing letters, did you not one day lift your head and see him?
38664In the town?
38664In whose garden are you standing now? 38664 Ina,"he whispered,"what were you doing?"
38664Ina-- you do n''t mean----?
38664Indeed?
38664Is Captain Bowyer in?
38664Is he?
38664Is it dangerous there?
38664Is that Rymer?
38664Is that all?
38664Is that so?
38664Is that the weapon?
38664Is that true?
38664Is there not?
38664It is his?
38664It is in the bookcase? 38664 It is permitted to smoke?"
38664It''s found?
38664Last night-- just before midnight? 38664 Mademoiselle, what room is that?"
38664Mademoiselle,I cried,"what does the opera stand for?"
38664Many birds?
38664May I take you home?
38664Mr. Calladine is in?
38664Mr. Henry P. Crowninshield,I said,"the world- famous_ impresario_, I believe?"
38664No; why should I not doubt your word?
38664Not a shadow which leans across the table there towards Linda, darkening the candle- light?
38664Not in the dining- table at all, then?
38664Not so very far, after all, is it?
38664Now, mademoiselle, will you please explain to me how it is that while your neighbours have fled you remain at your château?
38664Now, why?
38664Now,he continued,"you are sure that you have seen this man?"
38664Now,said Slingsby, In a whisper,"shall we have any luck, I wonder?"
38664Now? 38664 Now?"
38664Of course,she answered, slowly,"I am sure;"and then, after a little pause and with a slight but a noticeable hesitation, she added:"Why do you ask?"
38664Of what should Mrs. Thresk take care?
38664Oh, and why not?
38664Oh, are n''t you?
38664Oh, what would that matter?
38664Oh, you have done that, have you?
38664On the Weisshorn?
38664On the promenade deck? 38664 Peiffer?"
38664Perhaps you have heard how I was treated by the Consuls?
38664Perhaps,said Hanaud with a smile,"perhaps, my friend-- what?
38664Raymond Byatt? 38664 Revenge?"
38664Secretly?
38664Shall I come with you?
38664Shall it be green paint, your Excellency?
38664Shall we go?
38664Shall we see what it says?
38664She is in the hotel now?
38664She is to stay here in London, then?
38664Should I have stolen this, should I have come to you wearing it, if I had stolen the pearls, if I had--and she stopped--"if my story were not true?"
38664So it was n''t you, Ina, who returned last night?
38664So?
38664So?
38664So?
38664Surely you hardly propose to remain through the winter in this house?
38664That fellow? 38664 The President gave them to me to copy out,"I continued; and Olivia broke in, rather quickly:"What did you do with them?"
38664The lantern then was not a signal, mademoiselle?
38664The world is for the strong, this year and the next, and for how many more?
38664Then how do you come to be wearing this?
38664Then what will your confession do beyond-- I quote your English idiom-- putting you in the coach?
38664Then why does n''t he? 38664 Then you can tell me nothing of him recently?"
38664Then you do not know where they are buried?
38664Then you knew,he cried,"that your master meant to kill himself?
38664There is some one else, then, as blind as I am?
38664There was then to your thinking no temptation of jewels, no theft, no murder-- in a word, no Celymène? 38664 Those are your men, are n''t they?
38664To whom?
38664To- night?
38664Wants a coat of green paint, does n''t it?
38664Was it at breakfast that you saw him?
38664Was the safe empty?
38664We ought to follow, ought n''t we?
38664We shall see you no more for-- how many months?
38664We will not go in, I think, eh?
38664Well, after all, why do n''t you stay in your own country?
38664Well, and what of it?
38664Well,he asked,"and what is it that you have to say to the police, miss?
38664Well?
38664What am I to do, then?
38664What am I to do?
38664What are you doing here?
38664What are you saying?
38664What are you saying?
38664What are you saying?
38664What became of the foreigners?
38664What can you do with your forced draught?
38664What did he say of me?
38664What did he say?
38664What did he say?
38664What did you do?
38664What did you mean by your''Ah''?
38664What do you make of it?
38664What do you make of it?
38664What do you make of it?
38664What do you make of them?
38664What do you mean? 38664 What do you mean?"
38664What do you mean?
38664What do you think, Ina, I discovered to- day?
38664What do you want?
38664What does he want with us?
38664What does it give on to?
38664What does that mean?
38664What does this outrage mean?
38664What gift?
38664What has happened?
38664What has happened?
38664What has happened?
38664What has happened?
38664What if the envelope gets lost?
38664What is it now?
38664What is it you really want, sir?
38664What is it?
38664What is that?
38664What is that?
38664What kind of threats?
38664What name shall I say?
38664What name?
38664What opera do they play?
38664What road did you take?
38664What should take Cranfield back to that deserted house, there to end his life, if not remorse,he asked himself--"remorse for some evil done there"?
38664What then?
38664What time did you leave the house?
38664What was it?
38664What will become of you?
38664What''s the matter?
38664What''s the matter?
38664What--?
38664What? 38664 What?"
38664When was that?
38664Where have you been, Harry?
38664Where have you sprung from?
38664Where is it? 38664 Where''s the fourth?"
38664Where?
38664Where?
38664Where?
38664Who does not?
38664Who is he?
38664Who is it, then?
38664Who is it?
38664Who is it?
38664Who is that man, and what have you done to him?
38664Who shall say that those pearls are not already in one of the queer little back streets of Amsterdam, undergoing their transformation?
38664Who should he be?
38664Who the dickens was that?
38664Who will tell her?
38664Who?
38664Who?
38664Whom did you expect?
38664Whom do you expect at this hour, mademoiselle?
38664Why did n''t you come with your story then?
38664Why did you not bring it before?
38664Why do you ask?
38664Why not?
38664Why, given time, were you sure that you could win her?
38664Why, if you are so eager to show me the contents, did you try to throw it away?
38664Why?
38664Why?
38664Why?
38664Why?
38664Why?
38664Will it cost much?
38664Will that waken you, eh?
38664Will you allow me to get rid of it for you?
38664Will you be wanting anything more for a little while?
38664Will you dance with me for the rest of the evening?
38664Will you lunch with me?
38664Will you stand aside for a little?
38664Will you stay to dinner?
38664Will you tell Miss Violet that Dr. Kelsey is here?
38664Will you tell him to drive to the President''s?
38664With your servants, of course?
38664Would he?
38664Would it be possible that he should be brought back to me?
38664Yes, she knew that that one nearest, the first she touched was the poison, and meant-- what? 38664 Yes?"
38664Yes?
38664Yes?
38664Yes?
38664Yes?
38664Yes?
38664Yes?
38664Yes?
38664Yes?
38664Yet when he telephoned, you had gone out?
38664You are Prussian?
38664You are going west, I suppose?
38664You are here, too, are you?
38664You are quite sure?
38664You are still alone?
38664You crossed on the_ Lucania_ from New York?
38664You do n''t even remember when?
38664You found the lamp in the hall?
38664You had locked it away?
38664You have an idea?
38664You have brought your guns?
38664You have friends coming out to you?
38664You have had that dog some time?
38664You have heard of it?
38664You have news?
38664You have not come for him? 38664 You knew that man?"
38664You know Dorman very well, do n''t you? 38664 You know these men?"
38664You make a decoction of it, I suppose?
38664You passed the house? 38664 You remember the woman I stared at?
38664You remember when I stopped dancing suddenly?
38664You see nothing?
38664You see what these letters mean?
38664You telephone, to the Semiramis, of course?
38664You think he will?
38664You want it, then?
38664You will go yourself?
38664You will let me hear from you?
38664You will see me off?
38664You will?
38664You, sir, are the wounded officer on parole?
38664You-- didn''t-- destroy them when you had the chance?
38664Your cab?
38664Your guns, sir?
38664''Did I tell you that I landed at Liverpool this morning?
38664''Does she always expect a letter?''
38664''What''s the matter?''
38664''Where''s your husband?''
38664''Why?''
38664(_ He draws her towards him._) Gleva: You go with your legion?
38664(_ She confronts him, erect and, strong._) Calpurnius: You will?
38664--said to myself in my lighter moments---- And pray, sir, at what are you laughing?''
38664A hundred at the least?"
38664A third voice spoke so low that I could not hear the words, but I heard Bradley Rymer''s startled reply:"In the library?"
38664After all, what had I got to go upon but a German accent, a low, sharp whistle, and an electric torch?
38664Am I never to see you, Violet?
38664Am I the god, then?
38664And unless Ina told him all there was to tell, how could they go on side by side anywhere?
38664And what''s his reward?
38664And why not the Channel?"
38664And would they come from the East-- those hungry people?
38664And you were n''t?"
38664Are n''t you conscious of something very strange, very insidious, close by us in this room?"
38664Are n''t you sure of it?"
38664Are these letters locked up amongst the embroidery and the beads in that work- table, I wonder?
38664Are these women in Rome more beautiful than I?
38664Are you sure?
38664At six o''clock in the evening-- on a day of storm?"
38664Behind the books?
38664Besides, how was it that none of these messages had been passed into Paris?
38664But at five o''clock he said as he drank his tea:"You know, of course, that we go to the opera to- night?"
38664But can you realise what it must mean to a girl who is going to sing it for the first time in Covent Garden?"
38664But everyone says,''Why do n''t you stay in your own country?''
38664But had letters passed?
38664But have you ever stolen before?"
38664But she might, perhaps, have told you a little more, might n''t she?
38664But what could she do?
38664But what did it hide?
38664But which way did the soldiers march?
38664But why does he live alone in the country?
38664But why the sense of helplessness?
38664By the way,"and he reached out his hand carelessly for the salt,"is n''t this rather a new departure for you, Glynn?
38664Calladine?"
38664Calladine?"
38664Calpurnius stops._] Gleva: Why does the trumpet sound?
38664Calpurnius(_ rising_): What?
38664Calpurnius(_ sits up_): And you let him live, with this knife ready in your girdle?
38664Calpurnius: How should I know?
38664Calpurnius: Is there a Wall?
38664Calpurnius: What shall I hear?
38664Can you tell me why?"
38664Did he pass you when you sat in your deck- chair, or did you pass him when he sat in his chair?"
38664Did n''t he stand for Parliament once in Marylebone?"
38664Did n''t you know that?
38664Do n''t you know him?
38664Do n''t you, too, feel something like that?
38664Do we?"
38664Do you know Professor Kersley?"
38664Do you see that our pretty young friend, Joan Carew, is singing in the rôle of the page?
38664Do you see?
38664Do you see?
38664Do you understand that?"
38664Do you want to know how stupid she is?
38664Does he really think that any old yarn like the fifty thousand rifles is going to deceive you?"
38664Even though you are young, does it teach you nothing?
38664For a little while a few people asked:''What has become of Calladine?''
38664For a moment he fingered it, and in the tone of a man communing with himself, he added:"Now, is n''t that curious?"
38664For the art of the stage is of much the same stuff as a woman''s natural life, is n''t it?
38664Gleva(_ passionately_): Why?
38664Gleva(_ scornfully_): Is there a Wall?
38664Gleva: But the centurion---- Calpurnius: The centurion''s the god, then?
38664Gleva: But which way did they go?
38664Gleva: Did they go north towards the Wall?
38664Gleva: Does n''t it?
38664Gleva: Is the sound so strange and moving?
38664Gleva: Plays?
38664Gleva: Rome?
38664Gleva: This same road?
38664Gleva: To Regnum?
38664Gleva: Well?
38664Gleva: What''s this greater thing?
38664Gleva: Which legion goes?
38664Got it?"
38664Got your chart?"
38664Had Harry Vandeleur played her false?
38664Had M. Bonnet''s sow farrowed fifteen?
38664Had Thresk indeed come back to fight for Linda once more, and to fight now as he had fought the first time-- on equal terms?
38664Had it been a trick-- I ask the ladies-- would there not have been tears?
38664Has he sent for you too?"
38664Has it a name?"
38664Have you breakfasted?
38664Have you friends who will be staunch?"
38664Have you no ideas?"
38664He broke off to ask:"I suppose your police are no longer searching for you?"
38664He danced with me....""Who?"
38664He heard himself saying once more:"Can I help?"
38664He mastered himself enough to say:"''May I speak to you, sir?''
38664He rose hastily from the sofa, and rather in order to speak than with any thought of what he was saying, he asked:"When did he die?"
38664He sees himself step upon the stage, and who else meets him but the china figure from his mantelpiece?"
38664He stood without a movement, but the hand did not appear again; and then he found himself saying in a quiet voice of reassurance:"Can I help at all?"
38664He told me of the dog, of Channing''s death----""Yes?"
38664He took her by the arm, and in a chiding, affectionate tone he said very gently:"You are not frightened, Linda, are you?
38664He was always so very well dressed, was n''t he, Linda?
38664Higher?
38664His body from head to foot seemed to Ricardo to be expressing the question,"Have I found it?"
38664How can I serve monsieur?"
38664How did it come to lie so conveniently to her hand in the hall?
38664How did they know?
38664How did you do it?"
38664How do you come here?"
38664How much money did you leave there for me when you took my father away?
38664How should he break the news?
38664How to smuggle her unnoticed out of her empty house, down to Las Cuevas, and on board the steamer?
38664How, too, had he managed to get into the house?
38664I am not sure-- but is it not that Celymène is posing before you?"
38664I resumed my questions:"Your doctor, monsieur, is in the house?"
38664I rode therefore with an easier mind, and the first thing which entered my thoughts was-- what do you think?
38664I saw him lift the rope between them, which was slack, and shake the snow off it----""You saw that?"
38664III"You wo n''t go?"
38664If he had to"act on his own discretion,"could he do it with any sort of profit?
38664If not, why was it still inhabited?
38664In what plight were they?
38664Ina Fayle, of course, he knew by sight and by reputation, as who in London at that time did not?
38664Ina has a dog-- a black spaniel-- do you mind?"
38664Is it my Colonel, my General?
38664Is it not that she is beautiful?"
38664Is that understood?"
38664It is too late to be sorry,"and as I stood shuffling awkwardly from one foot to the other, she added, gently,"Will you not go, monsieur?"
38664It must all have been pretty wonderful to the vicar in 1786, eh?"
38664It was humiliating; it is always humiliating to a young man not to be taken seriously, isn''t-- especially if he is a conqueror?
38664Johnson?"
38664Livingstone, I presume?''"
38664Livingstone?"
38664Meanwhile, we can enjoy ourselves, eh?"
38664Meanwhile, where can I hear from you and you from me?
38664Mrs. Wordingham was sitting next to him, and she remarked quietly:"So you are not going on to the Mirlitons''dance, after all?"
38664Nine is not too early for you, I suppose?"
38664No?
38664Not much chance of_ his_ ever coming back again, eh?
38664Of those two, one, in an office down by the harbour, ceaselessly and vainly, with a dreadful anxiety, asked"When?"
38664Of what use would be his fine Bill for the establishment of a Minimum Wage?
38664Oh, it''s nothing-- but do you think he will like it?"
38664Oh, they''ll do what they like in neutral countries, will they?
38664Oh, you are not going to take him away?"
38664On that shelf?
38664Rymer?"
38664Shall we say one at the Cafà © de Rome?"
38664She laughed again as she saw the cloak about my shoulders, a delicious gurgle of amusement, and I said to her:"''May I dance with you?''
38664She was awake?"
38664Slingsby''s"So?"
38664Some nightingale pouring out love upon a moonlit night?
38664Strange?"
38664That is all?"
38664That other friends of yours ca n''t?"
38664That seems a small thing to you?"
38664That you went into the room to steal, and that you were attacked by two strangers, dressed as apaches, and masked?
38664The British Power stood in India then cleaving a law of nature?
38664The house in detail?
38664The human voice could not have said more clearly:"What''s the matter?
38664The old peasant- woman''s cabin with the broken window?
38664The question in his mind was"Why bother?"
38664Then I stretched out my hand and said triumphantly:"You will tell me perhaps that the cloak upon your shoulders is a woman''s cloak?"
38664Then Linfield asked:"''But is he dead?''
38664Then Ricardo asked:"But have you evidence enough?"
38664Then he asked, and his voice was hard:"And is that all you have to tell me?"
38664Then other words were spoken to him:"How long will it take you to bring your boat to Marseilles?"
38664Then recollect your dreams?
38664There?
38664Therefore, I ask you, why did you send, for me?
38664To the right?
38664Tyson?"
38664Tyson?"
38664Was it possible?
38664Was she right?
38664Was that an apology?
38664Was the Australian right after all?
38664Was the glacier indeed giving up its secrets?
38664Was this solitary château the undiscovered last station on the underground road through which the news passed into Paris?
38664Was this tack- tack- tacking the explanation of why Chailsey saw so little of her?
38664We always seem to hit upon something appropriate, do n''t we?"
38664We will shoot the bog, and perhaps you''ll come out with the luncheon to the sand- hills?"
38664What about breakfast?"
38664What are my people?
38664What did it matter what she said?
38664What did you do between five and half- past eight?"
38664What does he get?
38664What else should he do but retire secretly and expeditiously to some country where he could enjoy the fruits of his industry in peace and security?
38664What grounds had Ballester for his threat?"
38664What had become of them?
38664What if he had succeeded?
38664What if, after all, she was implicated in the murder and the theft?
38664What is it that you think I can do?
38664What mischief can he do?"
38664What of the road?
38664What sort of a service is it?"
38664What was he doing at all with work of this kind?
38664What was it that the woman who had managed the hotel at the Riffelalp had said to him of Frobisher?
38664When is the race to be?"
38664Where do you come from?
38664Where had been the use of all the pretence that he had come unexpectedly on an unpremeditated visit?
38664Where should he be?"
38664Where would she put it?"
38664Where''s your evidence against me?"
38664Where?
38664Where?"
38664Who are you?
38664Who is going to burgle the property- room of Covent Garden?
38664Who is going to look for a priceless string of pearls amongst the stage jewels of an opera house?"
38664Who is the fourth?"
38664Who is to see her off?"
38664Who shall say that the rooms in the Adelphi will not be given up?"
38664Who would be Armand?
38664Why did she now sit rocking her head like a child in pain?
38664Why did the lights blaze out upon the snow so late?
38664Why had Linda Thresk sent for him out of all her friends?
38664Why had he fled so fast?
38664Why had she so struggled to hinder me from opening them?
38664Why should I have worried my head about Channing?
38664Why should my teacher blame me if I learn it thoroughly?
38664Why should you fear if they are marching to the sea?
38664Why, if he is playing straight?
38664Why?
38664Why?
38664Why?"
38664Will they be believed?"
38664Will you come on deck?"
38664Will you come?"
38664Will you help us, I wonder?"
38664Will you smoke?"
38664Will you wait here while I change?"
38664Would she succeed with him?
38664Would you mind clearing the pieces away?"
38664Yes, that''s all of a piece with your story, do n''t you see?"
38664Yes; but why should she continue so monotonous a practice now?
38664You come to us from another world, and visitors from another world are always interesting, are n''t they, Linda?"
38664You do n''t mind getting wet, I suppose?
38664You do n''t understand that?"
38664You doubt my word, monsieur?"
38664You go about the town a bit, do n''t you?
38664You had something hidden under your foot?"
38664You have the picture quite clear?"
38664You knew, and remained silent?"
38664You know him well?"
38664You would not wish that, monsieur?
38664he cried, and Glynn, in exasperation, asked indignantly:"What''s funny?"
38664you?"
51956''Where in Heaven''s name, man,''said the old Admiral, thunderstruck,''did you learn that masterpiece?'' 51956 A Virginian,"said Mason,"what evil circumstance brings you here?"
51956Ah,he said,"is it you, Mr. Woodlas?
51956Ah,she said, smiling,"it is you, Senor?
51956Am I not here to help you?
51956Are you afraid of courts?
51956But how in Heaven''s name, Sidney, are we going to get the other five thousand? 51956 But,"said Harris, anxiously,"wo n''t they take me down there?
51956Did n''t the lawyer feller do nuthin at all, Dunk?
51956Do n''t we need the trust fund doubled?
51956Do you know anything about this?
51956From the law only,continued Mason,"or does private vengeance join with it?"
51956Fur de love of Hivin, Mister,she drawled,"give me a pipe uv yer terbaccy?"
51956Have n''t I broken through all the traps and plots that she could set?
51956Have you a middle name, sir?
51956Have you considered it?
51956Have you given me all the details?
51956He is to be here at ten, you say?
51956How do you wish to deposit this money, gentlemen?
51956How high do ye go, mister?
51956How much?
51956How?
51956How?
51956I do n''t know, hardly,said the shipper, turning to his companion;"what do you think about it, Billy?"
51956I see,said the commission merchant;"but how is this loss to be shifted on any one?
51956In what manner can I be of service?
51956Is n''t that enough, man? 51956 Is that all?"
51956Is there any large fund,continued Mason,"in the hands of the officers of your county?"
51956Is there anything wrong with it?
51956Mr. District Attorney,he said,"wo n''t there be hell to pay when the crooks learn the law?"
51956Now, Billy,he said,"how is the best way to begin?"
51956Old tricks,said the little fat man, growing pale,"what in Heaven''s name is wrong with him?
51956On what ground?
51956She? 51956 Sir,"he said to the man Barker,"are you wanted in New York?"
51956Sir,he said,"what in Heaven''s name are you trying to do?"
51956Sir,said Mason, when the Virginian had seated himself,"which do you seek to evade, punishment or dishonor?"
51956Sir,said he"to what difficulty am I indebted for this honor?"
51956Sir,said the New Yorker,"have you received a sealed package from the Adams Express Company consigned to one Camden Gerard?"
51956That gratification is now four years old?
51956The same, sir,was the answer;"to what am I indebted for this honor?"
51956Then it is not robbery?
51956Trouble,echoed Mason,"is it any new thing to meet?
51956Trow on de light, Barker,said the old man at the table;"what is de use of gropin''?"
51956Well, Carper,he said,"is that all the trouble?
51956Well, Judge,said Haines,"have you flipped the penny on it, and if so, who wins?"
51956Well,continued the man,"there can be no other way, If it were turned over to me in my official capacity what good would it do?
51956Well,he said, lowering his voice,"are we going to try the other end of it?"
51956Well,said Mason, sharply,"did he expect to die before morning that I should be sent for in the middle of the night?"
51956Well,said the jeweller, as he arose and put on his overcoat,"what is the good of the law anyhow?"
51956What are these worth?
51956What did Mr. Mason think of your method of securing clients?
51956What do you mean by this?
51956What do you mean?
51956What do you think?
51956What do you want, then?
51956What does this mean, Parks?
51956What fool says I am wrong?
51956What is the use? 51956 What is the use?"
51956What is up, Billy?
51956What?
51956When did you come into it? 51956 When was the building erected?"
51956When was this check cashed?
51956Where has the trap caught him?
51956Who are you, sir?
51956Who should know better than I?
51956Whom else did you expect?
51956Why not?
51956Why should I do that?
51956Will you be quiet?
51956Would I be here in the office at two o''clock in the morning, with a detective and without a reason? 51956 Wrong?"
51956Yes; you mean the old ghost with the thin, melancholy face?
51956You do n''t reckon,said the farmer,"that the jedge will give the old colonel any show, do you?"
51956You have not?
51956You,said Mason to the old man,"what is your name?"
51956Your enemy?
51956And how?
51956And then, if they would listen to explanation, what explanation was there to make?
51956Are not the bloody knife, the bloody dress, the bloody clothes of the prisoner, unimpeachable witnesses to the criminal act?
51956Are you going to say that the crime of embezzlement is a dead letter?"
51956Are you ready to bear the brunt of this battle?"
51956But suppose I had rather concluded to break with your driver at the station?
51956Ca n''t I have him arrested, sir?"
51956Can it be said that, in order to evade punishment, the murderer has only to hide or destroy the body of the victim, or sink it into the sea?
51956Can you piece out with that?"
51956Can you tell me where I can see him?"
51956Come with me to the cabin and I will show you how it may be wrested from the owners and no crime committed; do you understand me, Parks?
51956Could it be that Harris had concluded to steal the money?
51956Could it happen that the law protected only against the blundering rogue?
51956Did n''t you know about it?
51956Did not the cursed thing go into the hands of a receiver the very moment we had gotten the stock cornered?
51956Did not the tools stick in both test wells within fifty feet of the sand, and all the saints could not remove them?
51956Do n''t you remember how it helped Barton Woodlas rob our father in that shoe trust at Lynn?
51956Do you hear me?
51956Do you hear me?
51956Do you hear me?
51956Do you understand me?"
51956Does any one doubt it in this case?
51956Had he not been selected by the great firm of Bartholdi& Banks to counsel with one who, he strongly suspected, was the private agent of princes?
51956He turned slowly to the cashier:"What became of that money?"
51956How could the dead masters lay down rules by which you could be beaten, sir?
51956How could we buy a house?"
51956How in God''s name did you know it?
51956How in Satan''s name do you figure it out?"
51956How much money have you?"
51956How your enemy?"
51956I did both, now what is to be done?"
51956Is that enough?"
51956Is there anything wrong?"
51956It is now near twelve; you will come with me to lunch at the club?"
51956May I inquire what motive prompts this gracious courtesy?"
51956Now listen, since the thing is a cutthroat game, why not have our share of the spoil?"
51956Now, do you understand me?"
51956Now, how should it happen that he had drawn the money in his own name almost immediately upon his arrival in New York?
51956Now, where can you get them quickest?"
51956Now,"said Parks, rising from his chair,"what are you going to do?"
51956PARKS,"said Randolph Mason,"has Leslie Wilder a country place on the Hudson?"
51956Parks,"said Randolph Mason, taking off his great- coat in the private office,"who wanted to see me at this unusual hour?"
51956She trap you?"
51956Then he looked up, and said,"Brother, do you remember the little bald- headed man who stopped us on the steps of the Stock Exchange last week?"
51956Then the Police Chief took some cigars from his pocket, gave one to the sergeant, and offering them to Barker said,"Will you smoke, sir?"
51956Was he simply making shrewd guesses, or had he some mysterious knowledge of this matter?
51956What am I to do?"
51956What are you doing out here?"
51956What authorities were cited?"
51956What could the highwayman possibly mean by this queer move?
51956What did this strange man know?
51956What does the responsibility matter, provided the burden of loss can be placed upon other shoulders?
51956What is to become of you?"
51956What is wrong here, Carper?"
51956What other thing could he do?
51956What others are involved in your matter?"
51956What''s up?"
51956When did he come back to the States?"
51956Which is gone, your girl or your job?"
51956Why do you come back with your petty matters?"
51956Why not turn this idea of Mr. Mason to account?
51956Will you come with me?"
51956Will you go with me to- morrow morning?"
51956Wo n''t the Governor turn me over to them?"
51956You will see to it, Chief?"
51956]_ I. I AM tired of your devilish hints, why ca n''t you come out with it, man?"
51956almost screamed young Harris, bounding to his feet,"how?"
51956cried Gerard,"only thirty- five hundred dollars for this necklace?
51956cried Mason, turning upon him,"you dared to change my plans?"
51956cried Montcure, starting up,"You sold him a residence to- day?
51956cried the Police Chief savagely,"do you mean that we are fooled?"
51956he said,"the gentleman bases his motion on a failure to establish the_ corpus delicti?_ Does he jest, or has he forgotten the evidence?
51956he said,"the gentleman bases his motion on a failure to establish the_ corpus delicti?_ Does he jest, or has he forgotten the evidence?
51956said the Police Chief, wearily,"is there no way to get at him, ca n''t we railroad him before a jury?"
51956shouted Woodlas,"what security have I but the mortgage?
51956wailed the little fat man,"is there no law to keep me from being ruined?
45492''Bats in the Wall,''eh? 45492 After the crime committed here on this very bed, can you ask why this room should be evil to me?"
45492All O. K., Pat?
45492All very true, but how are you going to get it, when you do n''t know where it is?
45492An''what''s all the row up here?
45492An''who are yez, entering the house of an honest man on the Sabbath morn? 45492 And Brownell& Popkins the Brazilian sixes?"
45492And claim the reward?
45492And do you know what the men on the ship did to Jonah?
45492And has not been caught since?
45492And how about the old woman in the worsted hood that entered this place a moment before this man came out? 45492 And it was he whom you saw coming out of that alley with the other man that Jerry Buck, the newsboy, told you was one of the burglars?"
45492And the parchment?
45492And the-- the body?
45492And their names?
45492And this is final?
45492And upon entering you found things as we see them now?
45492And what about Joe Dutton?
45492And what of him? 45492 And you do n''t know him?"
45492And you never knew your mother?
45492And you tell me there''s no watchman in the bank?
45492And you were not informed?
45492And, Maxwell?
45492Anything going on outside of regular business?
45492Are you ready?
45492Are you sure you''d know the place again, Jerry?
45492Barney, what does all this mean?
45492But how did you come to guess the entrance lay beneath that particular tombstone?
45492But how do you propose to get it? 45492 But the Mansfield will and the parchment telling the hiding- place of the buried treasure-- who botched that job, may I ask?"
45492By the way, you''ve got a key to the side door of the bank, I suppose?
45492Ca n''t you tell me what they are?
45492Callister about?
45492Can anything have happened? 45492 Can doors hold a mother when danger besets her son?
45492Can it be possible that the man is so base?
45492Can you ask?
45492Can you look at her and ask? 45492 Can you trust me, little girl?"
45492Coast clear?
45492Cutts, what does this thing mean?
45492D''ye know what''s been goin''on up here? 45492 Dere''s no woman comes in here, is dere, Jerry?"
45492Did n''t you examine this blessed old rookery from garret to cellar, not over a year ago?
45492Did they see you?
45492Did you see anything of Officer Flaherty, who ought to be on this beat?
45492Do you carry a key to those doors?
45492Do you know them?
45492Do you propose to send one of your men to apply for the place?
45492Do you think so, missus? 45492 Do you?
45492For what reason?
45492Fresh fish this morning, ma''am?
45492Had n''t some one better inquire of the agent on the first floor?
45492Has Billy Cutts, the detective, been in here this evening, Joe?
45492Has she any relatives?
45492Have I? 45492 Have you had your supper?
45492He did?
45492Hello, is that you, Billy?
45492How could Frank Mansfield tell him about the up- stairs way, fellers, when he did n''t know nothing about it himself?
45492How did you come to see these fellows?
45492How did you do it?
45492How long before was it that he entered your place?
45492How many times have I told you not to come to this office?
45492How much further do you think we''ve got to go?
45492I did n''t believe in them any more than you until to- night, but, after what we saw, what is a man to think?
45492I rather guess we can fix that if we can get it through the alley to the Donegal Shades-- eh, Rube?
45492Is he dead?
45492Is he there?
45492Is it all right, Billy?
45492Is it the Wall street speculator of that name?
45492Is not one ghost enough to haunt me, that the voice of the man I helped to bury in this devil''s den must come ringing in my ears? 45492 Is she dead?"
45492Is that you, Ed-- you and Jim?
45492Is that you, Frank Mansfield?
45492Is that you, Jerry?
45492Is that your business?
45492Is this feller a friend of yourn?
45492Is your mind made up, Reuben Tisdale? 45492 It''s Mr. Callister, certainly; but I do n''t see how it concerns me?"
45492Lije, did you see her, or was it only meant for me?
45492Mother, can this indeed be you?
45492Mr. Hook,whispered Frank, nervously,"what can this mean?"
45492Mrs. Brown, do n''t you know me?
45492My slight to you, dearest?
45492No? 45492 Now what is it?
45492Now who the blazes can that be?
45492Now, if Cutts paid them-- and Cutts is crooked, if he is a detective; I''ve known that this long while-- the question is who was to pay Cutts? 45492 Now, then, where''s de place?"
45492Now, where in thunder are those fellows, I''d like to know? 45492 Now, whose place is that, I wonder, and what does she expect to see?"
45492Of course neither of them suspect the truth?
45492Oh, you saw the burglars, did you? 45492 Positive?
45492Rube, for Heaven''s sake,he exclaimed,"what on earth ails you, man?
45492Say, Sam Cutts, have you got such a thing as a big bag?
45492Shall I assist you to the elevator, Miss Callister?
45492So these are your friends?
45492So this is where you hang out? 45492 Suppose I did?"
45492Tell him Detective Cutts wants to see him, will you, young feller?
45492That I stood ready to receive you, without explanation, on your old footing? 45492 That?
45492The Webster Bank?
45492The deuce? 45492 The papers seem to be making quite a stir about you, do n''t they?"
45492Then it was she who was murdered?
45492Then you have no idea why she should seek such quarters as that house in the rear of the Catherine Market, where we found her?
45492Then, sir, where have you been during all these weeks? 45492 There is a hollow space back of this-- don''t you hear?
45492There were three of them, you say?
45492There, do you feel better?
45492To see that all was right about the bank?
45492Vat in tonder ish dat?
45492Was he handcuffed?
45492Was she very bad?
45492Was that woman really your mother?
45492Well, Billy, is it all fixed?
45492Well, I ai n''t a- goin''to steal nothin'', am I? 45492 Well, an''what d''ye want?"
45492Well, and how do you propose to do it?
45492Well, and what''s the matter with this room?
45492Well, and where is Cutts?
45492Well, boss?
45492Well, s''pose I hain''t? 45492 Well, what do you want with us, anyhow?"
45492Well, what is it, Lije? 45492 Well, which way are you going?"
45492Well, young fellow, what shall it be?
45492Well, young man, you are on time, I see?
45492Well,said the detective,"why do n''t you speak?"
45492What ails you?
45492What are we going to do? 45492 What asylum was it?"
45492What brings you here, girl?
45492What d''ye take me for, boss? 45492 What do they say about the bank robbery?"
45492What do you mean by the''bat call?''
45492What do you think of it?
45492What do you think was the reason?
45492What have you learned? 45492 What place is this-- what do you know of the robbery of the bank?
45492What sort of a person is she?
45492What the deuce was that?
45492What the mischief are you fellows doing there?
45492What was the name of your mother before your father married her, Frank?
45492What''s the latest, Lije?
45492What''s the use of throwing all the blame on me? 45492 What''s your liquor, gents?"
45492What''s your name, my man?
45492What''s your name?
45492Where did I find them?
45492Where did you find them?
45492Where was she from?
45492Who is he?
45492Who is this man Callister?
45492Who spoke?
45492Who was the woman that passed through here just now by the way I came in?
45492Who were they?
45492Who''s the feller that made you cut an''run?
45492Why the mischief ca n''t you let sleeping dogs lie? 45492 Why, you''re Barney, the bootblack, ai n''t you?"
45492Would he? 45492 Would n''t there be a fine kick- up if they knew I had you concealed here?"
45492Yes, yes, Mrs. Marley-- what of her?
45492You are positive that it was your mother, Frank?
45492You are sure?
45492You are, eh?
45492You do n''t? 45492 You have?"
45492You saw what happened to him outside?
45492Young man, what are you doing here?
45492Your dead, young man? 45492 Added missing quote afterbats in the wall?"
45492Added missing quote after"what''s the matter with this room?"
45492Although forced by circumstances to remain indoors, you are enjoying the beautiful afternoon, I trust?"
45492An''dis is your friend, is it?
45492And did you think me dead?"
45492And if that prosperity could be but in a measure restored?
45492And what ails Officer Schneider now?
45492And who but the ghost of old Miser Mansfield himself would think of prowling about the dust- laden rooms of Three Oaks at midnight?
45492Any tracks in the snow?"
45492Are you dumb?
45492Are you not the person to whom I spoke at the Trinity church- yard wall on the night of the arrest?
45492Are you sure of these friends of yours?
45492Beside that trap- door overhead, is there no way out of this?"
45492But what was Three Oaks and where was it?
45492But when day after day passed, and I heard nothing from you, what was I to believe?
45492But where is she?
45492But whose a- goin''to give you away?
45492But, supposing you were so effectually disguised that he could never recognize you, do you think you could fill the position and play your part?"
45492By the way, how did you manage to get into the vault that night?
45492By the way, you are the newspaper boy that was with Frank at the Catherine Market this morning?"
45492Ca n''t you let up on your infernal croaking even in a strait like this?
45492Can this be you?"
45492Can you then expect me to obey?"
45492Come, now, what do you say?
45492Could he hope to win the hand of Edna Callister after such a fatal slip as this?
45492Could the eyes of love be deceived?
45492Cutts?"
45492Did not the whole affair bear the appearance of what is commonly termed a put- up job?
45492Did the plan of Billy Cutts succeed?"
45492Did these boys have anything to do with your escape?"
45492Did you not tell me that Frank Mansfield was your son, and that he robbed the Webster bank?"
45492Do n''t I know she is dead?
45492Do n''t you think she would advise you to tell me all you know about this bank affair?
45492Do you know?"
45492Do you mean to say he looks like me?"
45492Do you mean to tell me that at your time of life you are going to give way to a belief in ghosts?"
45492Do you remember what beautiful girls they were when you and I and Frank Mansfield went a- courting them?
45492Do you see her?"
45492Do you suppose a man can forget the form of his wife?
45492Do you understand the duties of such a position well enough to fill it?"
45492Does any one know?
45492Elijah Callister, did I not speak the truth?
45492Evenin''paper, gents?"
45492Evenin''papers, gents?"
45492Had he not caught him almost in the act?
45492Had he the right to aspire to the affections of the daughter, when against the father he was working night and day?
45492Had the warning words spoken behind them proceeded from those pale, set lips?
45492Have Ketchum& Bustem reported that lot of Wabash?"
45492Have his revelations come too late?
45492Have they let you escape again?"
45492Have you forgotten the morning at the Catherine Market-- my visit to the Bats in the Wall?"
45492Have you noticed, Frank, how much he resembles you?"
45492How came these two in the Trinity church- yard at this hour of the night?
45492How came those boys-- what do they call themselves-- to lend you a helping hand?"
45492How unworthy he was of love like this?
45492How was I to tell that they would send it all to the Sub- Treasury in Wall street for security before three o''clock?"
45492How was that?"
45492How''s your father, by the way?"
45492I did n''t hear no signal, did you?"
45492I saw her hovering about the Webster bank-- I thought she had found in the street certain papers which I dropped, and----""And you killed her?"
45492If the larger of the two men was one of the robbers of the Webster Bank, what was his companion doing in such company as his?
45492If the name of his dead father, to say nothing of his own, could but be cleared before the world?
45492If these scoundrels had no mercy to share to their own what hope was there for him?
45492If you are innocent, why have you not communicated with me?
45492In the little parlor as usual?
45492In your trouble could you not trust me?"
45492Is it not so?"
45492Is that woman anything to you?"
45492Is that you, Jerry Buck?"
45492It scared the life out of us, I want you to understand, for how were we to know they were bats or what they were?
45492It''s a big scheme on paper, but the question is, wo n''t it prove another Webster bank affair?
45492Jeremiah Mansfield-- Jeremiah Mansfield-- let me see-- wasn''t that the miserly old fellow who was murdered in Harlem some five years ago?"
45492Lije, did you hear that?"
45492Marley?"
45492May I trouble you to tell me who and what you are?"
45492Might have been observed, did we say?
45492Must I die here like a dog?"
45492Now, do you know, Frank, that two- thirds of the scrapes people get themselves into come from lying?
45492Now, tell me quick, what sort of a place is that saloon before us-- the Donegal Shades?
45492Now, then, Frank Mansfield, do you know who I am?"
45492Now, what do you propose to do?
45492Now, what''s to be done with the carcass before the whole neighborhood comes piling in?"
45492Now, where is that sealed parchment?
45492Providin''it works, will there be enough shug in the vault to pay us for our trouble?
45492Removed superfluous quote after"Who are you, sir?"
45492Suppose your mother were to speak to you now?
45492Surely there are footsteps walking on the floor above?
45492Surely you are not back from the station as soon as this?"
45492Swapped?
45492The same old scheme?"
45492Then there were others here besides Cutts and yourself?"
45492Then you are Mrs. Mansfield, the mother of Frank?
45492Through the iron door on the New Church street side?"
45492Was he one of them?"
45492Was n''t it her face, her form, her dress?
45492Was not this very like a conspiracy?
45492We''ve doctored this spy with a leaden pill, but who can tell how many more of the same kind of cattle there is in hiding in that room overhead?
45492Well, what have you discovered?"
45492What am I to believe now, finding you in my father''s office and in disguise?"
45492What are you doing at the door of the Webster Bank at this hour of the night?"
45492What brings the boy to a place like this?
45492What call have you got to run your nose in here?"
45492What can this mean?"
45492What did it look like?
45492What did it mean?
45492What do you know about this Jerry Buck?"
45492What do you mean?"
45492What do you want of me?
45492What do you want?"
45492What else should it be?"
45492What friends?
45492What happened ye that ye lost the coat an''the hat?"
45492What have you done with him, I ask again?"
45492What in the world can she be doing here?"
45492What should he do?
45492What should he say?
45492What should he say?
45492What sight was this?
45492What sort of shop does he keep?"
45492What sound was that?
45492What was he to do?
45492What was the true meaning of these strange happenings?
45492What was this?
45492What would you advise me to do?"
45492What''s that got to do with it?
45492What''s this?"
45492What''s your name?"
45492Where are your pals?
45492Where are your pals?"
45492Where did the man go, Jerry?
45492Where is the boy I gave into your charge?"
45492Which of you boys found the box last night?"
45492Who and what is this smooth- spoken Callister-- that''s what I want to know?"
45492Who are you, sir?
45492Who are you?
45492Who goes up mit dem valls on top, I''d schust like to know?"
45492Who is this Slattery?
45492Who is this man who swears vengeance upon so worthy, so pious a member of society as Mr. Elijah Callister of the Tenth Baptist Church?
45492Who is this strange creature with her singular mutterings concerning"bats in the wall?"
45492Who lives up there, anyway?
45492Who was she, and where is she now?"
45492Who was that old man with the basket of fish that just went out of here?"
45492Who would believe his story, now that he had been caught almost in front of the rifled vault?
45492Who, then, would be likely to go out of their way to plot against an individual so insignificant as himself?
45492Why ca n''t he get it by some other means?"
45492Why do you come to inquire of the movements of that young rascal from me?
45492Why have you not come to tell me so before?"
45492Why the deuce ca n''t you let me be?"
45492Why were we not told of that stovepipe hole?"
45492Will no argument bring you to reason?
45492Will you help me to bring him into the grasp of the law which he has so long defied?"
45492With poor Maria''s blood upon my hands calling for vengeance-- ain''t that enough?"
45492Wo n''t they give you away?"
45492Wot other do you s''pose?
45492Would either of you know the three men again?"
45492You have got the sealed parchment that should accompany the will, I hope?
45492You saw a woman dead in an upper room in the house in the rear of this evil den?"
45492an''is it murther that''s been done?"
45492and"Wo n''t they give you away?"
45492cried Cutts, placing his hand on Frank''s shoulder as he spoke,"who the mischief have we here?"
45492did we hear some one exclaim?
45492diga for golda?"
45492he cried, in husky tones,"for God''s sake, what brings you here?
45492he cried,"what ails you, man?
45492if it ai n''t that fly detective what shook me up on the Sunday morning poor Mrs. Marley was murdered-- an''phat ails you, Mister Tisdale?
45492in"My slight to you, dearest?"
45492in"Now, where is that sealed parchment?
45492in"Well, which way are you going?"
45492to?
45492to?
45492what mutherin''work is this?"
45492what noise was that?"
45492you wouldn''t----""Would n''t I?
35462''And have you no clue to her birth? 35462 ''And you will publicly proclaim our marriage, and we will not be separated more?''
35462''But you will go with me, will you not?'' 35462 ''Pon honor, now?"
35462''Tis but to--_what_?
35462''What will she do when I am gone? 35462 ''Where are we going?''
35462Ah, Squire Erliston, you do not think anything has happened to the dear child, do you?
35462All right; just hint what it is, will you? 35462 And Gipsy, what does_ she_ remind you of?"
35462And I have been deceived? 35462 And Minnette, what is she like?"
35462And Miss Lizzie?
35462And Sir George, Gipsy?
35462And grandchild of Squire Erliston?
35462And how dare you, ma''am-- how_ dare_ you bring such a thing here?
35462And how is my old friend, Miss Hagar?
35462And if he does not, what matter?
35462And is that all the thanks you give me for offering to plague myself with you, you ungrateful little varmint?
35462And may I ask you why you have received those names?
35462And may I ask, young lady, what you could possibly want with him?
35462And nothing more? 35462 And now, Gipsy,"he concluded,"what mischief have you been perpetrating since I saw you last?
35462And now, to''return to our mutton,''as Solomon says; or-- hold on a minute-- was it Solomon who said that?
35462And so you love me, my sweet Celeste, better than all the world?
35462And the papa of these interesting damsels, what is he like?
35462And the poor young lady? 35462 And this was Christmas eve, nineteen years ago?"
35462And was your child really dead?
35462And what business had you there, monkey? 35462 And what business is it of yours, sir?"
35462And what have I done for you, that you should love me so?
35462And what is it, may I ask?
35462And what was that, eh?--what was that?
35462And what will that answer be? 35462 And what''s the matter with her, may I ask?"
35462And where is she now?
35462And why not here?
35462And why the deuce do n''t you go and do it, then-- eh?
35462And will you see those you love die, too?
35462And would_ you_ have me marry for wealth and social position, Celeste?
35462And you will be my wife, Celeste?
35462And you''re Louis? 35462 And you, sir,"said the squire, turning to Archie;"are_ you_ going to be a fool and turn painter, too?"
35462And_ Esther_?
35462And_ she_?
35462Archie kill Danvers? 35462 Archie, my dear,"said Mrs. Gower, as that young gentleman entered the room,"did Gipsy go back to Deep Dale last night?"
35462Archie, what_ is_ the matter?
35462Archie,she said, looking up solemnly in his face,"am I_ possessed_?"
35462Are kings handsomer than other people, my dear mother?
35462Are they all well?
35462Are they saved?
35462Are you aware ten minutes''walk will bring you to the sea- side? 35462 Are you mad, Gipsy?"
35462Are you men, to stand here idle in a time like this? 35462 Are you sick, or fainting, or what?"
35462Are you so sorry for leaving home?
35462Are you, too, becoming a flatterer?
35462As a husband? 35462 As you please, child,"said Miss Hagar, too weak to resist;"but you will not stay long?"
35462Ashamed!--what of? 35462 Aunty, pray tell me what in the world does all this mean?"
35462Because I forbade you, eh?
35462Because----"Well?
35462Beg pardon, sir,he said, with a slight bow;"have I the honor of addressing Squire Erliston?"
35462Better here than out on the bay to- night, eh, Jim?
35462Bride, upon thy marriage- day, Did the fluttering of thy breath Speak of joy or woe beneath? 35462 But Gipsy, my dear, do you not know that we are to be turned out, if you refuse?"
35462But Minnette, where can she be? 35462 But how did it happen?"
35462But you will consent? 35462 But, Gipsy, tell me-- will it be favorable?"
35462But, Gipsy, why are you so anxious for me to go with you to- night?
35462Ca n''t promise, dear? 35462 Ca n''t she go with Minnette?"
35462Can I see him?
35462Can you describe the shawl the child you speak of was wrapped in?
35462Can you ever forgive me?
35462Celeste, what means this?
35462Come, now, Gipsy, like a good girl, do n''t laugh any more; but tell me,_ will_ you marry me-- will you be my wife?
35462Dear Celeste,said Louis, drawing her gently toward him,"do you retract those cruel words you have written?
35462Dear Minnette, what is the matter?
35462Dear Miss Hagar, do you not know me?
35462Dear me, Archie, is that you? 35462 Did any one dare to kill it?
35462Did he know your history?
35462Did the cat get at it?
35462Did they dare to force you?
35462Did you ask him to give you time to pay?
35462Did you ever find out his name?
35462Did you ever see such another charming little vixen?
35462Did you ever? 35462 Did you hear that?"
35462Did you kill those birds?
35462Do I?
35462Do n''t want to leave school? 35462 Do n''t you find it horribly dull here, Minnette?"
35462Do n''t you hear the baby squalling there like a little tempest? 35462 Do n''t you know I detest the whole persuasion under twelve years of age?
35462Do we only love those who have conferred favors upon us, Signor?
35462Do with it?
35462Do you agree to this proposal?
35462Do you consent?
35462Do you intend hearing me sing to- night?
35462Do you know,he said,"I once had a little friend called Gipsy?
35462Do you love her?
35462Do you mean to say he told you not to let me have my pony?
35462Do you not know me, my dear grandfather?
35462Do you not suppose I can see through this vail with which you would blind my eyes? 35462 Do you really believe this tale told you by Minnette?"
35462Do you think there''s any danger, Jupiter?
35462Does n''t somebody know?
35462Does she know I am here?
35462Dr. Wiseman, you will not be so cruel? 35462 Eh?
35462Eh? 35462 Elfinish?
35462Five hundred dollars?
35462Gipsy, I know you have some design in all this?
35462Gipsy, my dear, why will you persist in calling Doctor Wiseman nicknames?
35462Gipsy, shall I go?
35462Gipsy, tell me-- do you love me or Mr. Danvers best?
35462Gipsy, who is she-- that vision of light-- my life- dream-- that I have found at last?
35462Gipsy, would you marry me?
35462Gipsy, you will stay?
35462Girl, have you come here to mock me?
35462Has Miss Celeste left her room yet?
35462Has he any grown- up daughters?
35462Has he only one daughter?
35462Have his other tenants paid him?
35462Have you been out, as usual, hunting this morning?
35462Have you heard how I captured Big Tom?
35462Have you seen old Wiseman and his daughter since your return?
35462He is not a Venetian?
35462How can I ever repay you, Isadore?
35462How can I turn it to my own advantage? 35462 How did you enjoy yourself last night at Mrs. Greer''s ball?
35462How do you know but she likes you now, after all?
35462How does she expect a man to turn out on a December night, with the gout in his legs? 35462 How have you been this age, Celeste?
35462How in the world do they manage to make everything look so funny? 35462 How old would you take her to be?"
35462How were you saved? 35462 I am to attend you home, am I not, Celeste?"
35462I have been ill, have I not?
35462I remember her a lovely child; I suppose she is an equally lovely girl?
35462I say, Lizzie, have you seen anything of Gipsy this morning?
35462I say, Louis, what do you think of her?
35462I think I have done justice to your cookery, my dear-- Cassie-- isn''t that what they call you?
35462I trust, sir, Gipsy was not_ compelled_ to marry this old man?
35462I wonder who he is?
35462I''m thinking of marrying you----"Marrying_ me_? 35462 If you were well paid, you would have no objection to taking one and bringing it up as your own?"
35462In the name of heaven, of whom have you been talking all this time?
35462Injured me, did you say? 35462 Is he dead?"
35462Is it not enough to make one tremble?
35462Is it possible, Gipsy, this is a large party?
35462Is it possible? 35462 Is it?
35462Is she an orphan?
35462Is she?
35462It is----"What?
35462Jupe tells me-- that is, he told me-- I mean, ma''am, the short and long of it is, you''ve brought a baby home with you-- eh?
35462Jupe, you black rascal, what time did Gipsy ride off this morning?
35462Just look at this likeness; have you ever seen anybody like it?
35462Keep her back-- keep her back, I tell you,cried the voice of Dr. Wiseman,"would you kill her?"
35462Knew what would happen?
35462Last night, in all the storm? 35462 Likes me?
35462Look at me; and say, do you yet know me?
35462Marry you? 35462 May I go and see her to- morrow, sweet Celeste?"
35462May n''t I go down stairs and get a book?
35462Meaning of what, Guardy?
35462Minnette, are you ill? 35462 Minnette, do you forgive me?"
35462Minnette, what is the matter?
35462Miss Hagar?
35462More than woman thou wast to me-- Not as man I looked on thee; Why, like woman, then, undo me? 35462 Mr.--worth what?"
35462Murder them?
35462Must it die, too?
35462No, no; it was n''t the cat; it was-- it was----"_ Who?_said Louis, while his dark eyes flashed.
35462Not five minutes ago?
35462Now what foul fiend has driven me to his accursed den to- night? 35462 Now, sit down beside me,"she continued, turning to Gipsy;"and tell me, are you married?"
35462Now, what in the name of Beelzebub does the woman mean?
35462Of whom are you speaking, papa?
35462Oh, Gipsy, how_ could_ you do it? 35462 Oh, Louis, is it not true?"
35462Oh, Louis, what do you suppose made Minnette say such dreadful things to me last night?
35462Oh, Louis, what is the matter?
35462Oh, Miss Hagar, do you think she is dead?
35462Oh, aunty, what could it be but_ no_? 35462 Oh, that''s it-- is it?
35462Oh, ungrateful girl, will you see me die? 35462 Oh, wanton malice-- deathful sport-- Could ye not spare my all?
35462Oh? 35462 S''pose it''s the little one in there?"
35462Save you from whom? 35462 Say, Celeste-- dearest Celeste-- do you consent?"
35462Say, doctor, what would you do to earn five hundred dollars to- night?
35462Serious? 35462 Shall I bring you up ice for your head, my dear?"
35462Shall I go and see?
35462Shall I present you?
35462She was what?
35462So you wo n''t pretend to notice me, eh? 35462 So you''re the son of my old friend, Oranmore?
35462Squire Erliston, can I have a few moments''private conversation with you this morning?
35462Suppose we go to the opera to- night?
35462Surely, you have not forgotten your old friend, Gipsy?
35462Tell me now, Louis, what brings you home so suddenly?
35462The astrologer, Ali Hamed, resides here?
35462The sun is setting, sister, is it not?
35462Then I_ may_ keep the little darling?
35462Then the signor is already in love?
35462Then what in the name of Heaven_ will_ you be?
35462Then why go out into the world any more? 35462 Then you are not going to be married to Sir George Stuart, Gipsy?"
35462Then you do n''t know her? 35462 Then you have not forgotten me?
35462Then you have not heard our''Queen of Song''yet?
35462This, then, is your last resolve?
35462To see me?
35462To whom is he to be married?
35462To- night?
35462Totty, where''s your young mistress?
35462Was Gipsy the one you came here to marry?
35462Was it for this that I left home, and country, and friends, that I assumed a disguise like this to follow you? 35462 Well, Celeste, will you come?"
35462Well, Isadore,said Louis kindly,"has there been any one here since?"
35462Well, Totty, what''s the matter?
35462Well, Wiseman, what''s this wonderful affair you have to tell me?
35462Well, and if he did, what would you do?
35462Well, doctor, well,impatiently broke in the lady,"have you decided--_yes_ or_ no_?"
35462Well, fair lady, do you find me so very hideous that you thus turn away?
35462Well, ma''am, well; what do you think of your conduct_ now_?
35462Well, since it is so, and can not be helped, what''s the use of making such a time about it?
35462Well, sir, where''s Miss Gipsy?
35462Well, what do you think of her?
35462Well, what is it?
35462Well, wo n''t it be the same with you?
35462Well, wo n''t you take a cup of coffee before you go?
35462Well, you have performed your task?
35462Well,''Rora, my dear, where are you going this morning, that you are dressing in your best?
35462Well; suppose I have?
35462Well?
35462Well?
35462Well?
35462What are you laughing at?
35462What are you looking so solemn about?
35462What are you saying there?
35462What are your objections, sir?
35462What can I do for you, Gipsy?
35462What could a little Tom Thumb in petticoats, like you, do?
35462What did you say her name was?
35462What did you say?
35462What did you say?--found her on the beach on Christmas Eve, seventeen years ago?
35462What did you wake me up for? 35462 What do you mean, child?"
35462What do you mean, miss, by wearing that black frock?
35462What do you mean, sir?
35462What do you say was the name of the place?
35462What do you think of her? 35462 What do_ you_ know about it?"
35462What does all this mean?
35462What does he want? 35462 What good can you do?"
35462What have I done to make you hate me so?
35462What in the devil''s name means this?
35462What in the world''s got into you, Gipsy?
35462What is that white dress for?
35462What is the matter with baby?
35462What luck this morning, Diana?
35462What means this outrage? 35462 What mighty mischief glads her now?"
35462What old humbugs, sir?
35462What sayeth the far- seeing, all- wise world of him?
35462What shall I do with it?
35462What shrieking spirit in that bloody room Its mortal frame hath violently quitted? 35462 What the deuce does this mean?"
35462What the deuce is it?
35462What use shall I make of this discovery?
35462What was it frightened you?
35462What will they think of me at home?
35462What''s her other name?
35462What''s that?
35462What''s the case, then? 35462 What''s the little girl''s name, Gipsy?"
35462What''s the matter?--got the toothache?
35462What-- what did you say?--a child?
35462What? 35462 What?"
35462What?
35462What?
35462When did he start for home?
35462When did you arrive?
35462When do you expect your father home?
35462Where are the rest?
35462Where are you going, Gipsy?
35462Where did she get it?--whose little girl is it?
35462Where do you learn those vulgar doggerels?
35462Where is she? 35462 Where was she going?"
35462Where''ll I go?
35462Where''s that little abomination, now?
35462Where''s that little wretch this morning?
35462Where''s your young mistress? 35462 Which way did he take?"
35462Who are you?
35462Who can have carried it off?
35462Who is he?
35462Who is it?
35462Who is the fortunate lady that is to be your mamma and my respected aunt?
35462Who knows whether the original be living or dead? 35462 Who''s taking my name in vain here?"
35462Who, who?
35462Who? 35462 Who?
35462Who?
35462Whose child, did you say I was?
35462Why did n''t you come home when I sent for you? 35462 Why did you tell this falsehood, Minnette?"
35462Why do they not scour the woods in a body?
35462Why not,said the squire, during an interview he had with him;"what''s your objection?"
35462Why not?
35462Why should I go to see you married?
35462Why, Celeste, what in the world are all those tears for?
35462Why, Guardy, what''s the matter? 35462 Why, Minnette, what is the matter?
35462Why, Miss Hagar, you do n''t mean to say I''m to have troubles?
35462Why, are you going to turn me out the next time I come?
35462Why, aunty, did I make you cry? 35462 Why, is it possible?
35462Why, what do you know? 35462 Why, what nonsense are you going on with there?"
35462Why, what''s the matter?
35462Why, what''s up now? 35462 Why, what''s wrong?
35462Why, whose child am I_ now_?
35462Why? 35462 Will it?
35462Will she_ ever_ be beyond the power of that mad girl? 35462 Will you agree to it?"
35462Will you be good enough to give me the explanation now, madam?
35462Will you come with me?
35462Will you go?
35462Will you let them perish before your eyes?
35462Will you oblige me by telling me what the matter is?
35462Will you, Celeste?
35462Wonder if Louis''departure has anything to do with it? 35462 Wonder who it is going to be?
35462Would you have me murder her?
35462Would you love me, if I were a woman?
35462Yes, ai n''t I, now? 35462 Yes, she will recover,"said the doctor, hesitatingly,"but----""But what?"
35462Yes; astonishing, is n''t it?
35462Yes? 35462 Yes?"
35462You are? 35462 You capricious little fairy, why do you hate me so?"
35462You reside in St. Mark''s, I presume?
35462You wo n''t, eh? 35462 You would have your horoscope cast, probably?"
35462You would know the future?
35462You would n''t? 35462 You would not?"
35462_ Celeste_--isn''t it pretty? 35462 _ Do you care?_"she asked, in a softened voice.
35462_ Do_, did you say? 35462 _ I_ save you from ruin?"
35462_ Me?_ Ha, ha! 35462 _ What''s the matter?_""Please, Miss Hagar, I''m so naughty, but-- but-- I do n''t want to leave school."
35462_ What?_"He married a ward of Squire Erliston''s-- Gipsy-- something, I think they called her. 35462 _ What?_"gasped Gipsy, appalled by his low, fearful tone, even more than by his words.
35462_ What_ did you say?
35462_ Who_ did you say it was?
35462_ Whom_ did you say?
35462_ You do?_cried Archie, aghast.
35462_ You will?_thundered the squire, in an awful voice.
35462''Has he got any grown- up darters?''"
35462''Who can tell what a day may bring forth?''
35462''Who knows what a day may bring forth?''
35462''_ Could n''t_ I beat that?''
35462----"Pray for the dead-- Why for the dead, who are at rest?
35462--and says he''Yes''--and says I,''Would n''t it be nice if we''d get married?''
35462--and says he,''Yes''--and says I,''_ Will_ you have me, though?''
35462--and says he,''Yes''--and says I----""''Ai n''t we a precious pair of fools?''
35462Ai n''t I a genius?"
35462Ai n''t I, now?"
35462Ai n''t you afraid of the fate of Ananias and his better half, who never told half such a lie in their lives?"
35462Ai n''t you proud of me?"
35462Allow me to embrace my little playmate?"
35462And Archie never mentioned a word of it,"said Louis, in a sort of soliloquy;"and my-- and Mrs. Oranmore, how is she?"
35462And as to fear-- were you ever afraid?"
35462And must they die miserably before your very eyes, without even making an effort to save them?"
35462And now that I have acknowledged my fault, will you forgive me, and-- be my friend?"
35462And now the time of payment was at hand, and where should he obtain the money?
35462And now, will you-- will you bury poor birdie?"
35462And says I,''Archie, ai n''t this nice?''
35462And the squire?"
35462And was my father such a villain?"
35462And what is the name of this paragon?"
35462And what will Dr. Wiseman say?"
35462And where did you live before you came here, Celeste?"
35462And who are you thinking of marrying?"
35462And who named you after that fair queen, who now resides among the stars?"
35462And why ca n''t Miss Hagar have a little girl, if she wants to, as well as anybody else, I''d like to know?"
35462And will you be good enough to inform us how this precious engagement came about?"
35462And you''re Barry Oranmore?
35462And you''re his son?
35462And you, my child,"she added, drawing Celeste toward her and caressing her golden head;"why did you suffer this wrong in silence?"
35462And yours?"
35462And:"Ah, Gipsy,_ wo n''t_ you now?"
35462Apropos of Louis, I wonder where he is now?"
35462Are all your country magnates as amiable as Squire Erliston?"
35462Are n''t you ashamed of yourself?"
35462Are you a good horseman?"
35462Are you for leaving?"
35462Are you ill?"
35462Are you ill?"
35462Are you?"
35462Besides, what means could they use to compel her?
35462Brown?"
35462But Celeste-- where is she?"
35462But I am forgetting-- how do you feel this morning?"
35462But how can I hold my tongue and eat?"
35462But to the surprise of Mrs. Donne, Mrs. Gower sprang panting to her feet, and grasped her by the arm, exclaiming:"On which shoulder was that mark?
35462But what is the matter with you?
35462But what''s to be done?"
35462But where''s your father?"
35462But who the deuce would ever think of finding little Gipsy Gower in one of the belles of Washington?
35462But you ca n''t go, can you, Guardy?"
35462But, Gipsy, whatever possessed you to marry that old man?"
35462But, child, have you never wondered who you were; have you never wished to know who were your parents?"
35462But, then, had she not discovered his restlessness, his evident longing to be away, though he still remained?
35462By the way, you have n''t seen Louis yet, have you?"
35462Can I do anything for you, child?"
35462Can I have the pleasure of a private interview with you?"
35462Can I not have a private apartment?"
35462Can it be that I am the child of Esther Erliston?
35462Can it be the ghastly white face of a child?"
35462Can the child she speaks of have been----""Who''s?"
35462Can you not write to Louis?
35462Can you take it away now?"
35462Celeste, what''s the matter?
35462Come here, you baggage,"turning to Celeste, who was blushing most becomingly;"will you have this graceless scamp, here, for your lord and master?
35462Come, Gipsy, own up, are you not the cause of all this frenzy?"
35462Could Gipsy-- she whom I always thought the pure, warm- hearted child of nature-- commit so base an act?
35462D''ye hear that?"
35462D''ye hear?"
35462Did I not hear you both to- night?--and was not the demon within me prompting me to spring forward and stab you both to the heart?
35462Did any prophetic seer ever foretell, Doctor Wiseman, your end would be by the halter?"
35462Did n''t I dance beautifully, though, and ai n''t I credit to you now?
35462Did n''t I tell you not to go?
35462Did you ever see a sweeter face?"
35462Did you like her?"
35462Did you not read it as you would an open book?
35462Did you not strike the rock with a more powerful wand than that of Moses, and did not all the flood of life and love spring forth at your command?
35462Did you not win the love of Louis Oranmore from me by your skillful machinations?
35462Do n''t you know it tells in the Bible about people being possessed with demons?
35462Do n''t you know me?"
35462Do n''t you know she''s a foundling?"
35462Do n''t you wish I may do it?"
35462Do you consent to take charge of him, and keep him in trim for the rest of his life?"
35462Do you hear?
35462Do you hear?"
35462Do you intend to set fire to this old shanty, and burn it down?"
35462Do you know the waves refuse nothing, and tell no tales?
35462Do you know what I was doing when I stood up before the clergyman with you?"
35462Do you know, Celeste, I never cried in my life?"
35462Do you laugh much, Celeste?"
35462Do you remember that parting, Celeste?"
35462Do you remember the day I shot the bird that Louis saved for you, and you fell fainting to the ground?"
35462Do you think I could live and survive this disgrace?
35462Do you think I look anything like I did when you first saw me?"
35462Do you think I would miss what one might make a pilgrimage round the world to hear once?"
35462Do you think I''d tell such a lie?
35462Do you think I''m going to let a ward of_ mine_ go with a gang of strolling players any longer?"
35462Do_ you_ like her?"
35462Doctor, what says the world about this-- is there any reason given?"
35462Dr. Wiseman is a highly respectable gentleman-- rather old for you, it is true-- but of what difference is a few years?
35462Drawing the quilt at last over her, she turned away, saying, mockingly:"Where now, Esther Oranmore, is the beauty of which you were so proud?
35462Eh, puss?
35462Eh, sir?
35462Eh, when did you come?"
35462First, there''s the squire----""Squire who?"
35462Gipsy, do you_ love_ Sir George Stuart?"
35462Guardy, how are you?
35462Guardy?"
35462Had it been Celeste, do you think you would have recognized her?"
35462Has little Gipsy Gower married that old man-- old enough to be her grandfather?"
35462Has that kite- heart, Minnette, been mocking you?"
35462Has the reader forgotten Aurora, the little foundling of yelling notoriety?
35462Have I discovered who I am at last?"
35462Have I said anything to offend her, I wonder?
35462Have a glass of wine?"
35462Have me tried by court- martial, or hold a coroner''s inquest on top of me, or what?"
35462Have you been mocking me all this time?--or do you love me, too?"
35462Have you ever heard of the proverb,''Murder will out,''my lord and master?
35462Her thoughts were of him she believed far away; what were wealth and honors to her, without him?
35462Hey?"
35462How came I to be left to perish on the shore?"
35462How can you go on with such nonsense at such a time?
35462How can you speak so of my friends?
35462How could she tell her what had happened?
35462How dare you go away, when you do n''t know what minute I may want you?
35462How did you come?
35462How did you like the opera?"
35462How is any one to form an opinion on an empty stomach, I''d like to know?
35462How much do you owe?"
35462How were you saved?"
35462How will you like it, if that black demon comes here some night, and murders us all in our beds?"
35462How would it be wrong, Celeste?
35462How you''spec I''s gwine to live''thout eatin''?
35462How_ could_ he commit the slumbering infant to those merciless waves?
35462How_ dare_ you attempt such a liberty with me?"
35462I am sure my mother would not object; and as for him, what right has he to interfere with my marriage?"
35462I s''pose you''ll come to see it sometimes, sir?"
35462I say, Minnette,"she added, raising her voice,"what is the reason you never laugh?"
35462I say, Miss Hagar, what shall we call her?
35462I say, Miss Hagar,"he added, springing abruptly to his feet as that ancient lady entered,"may n''t I bring Celeste to school?
35462I say, Totty, where are you?
35462I say, aunty, is there any chance for me to get through the window?"
35462I say, youngster, do you know who sent you with this precious letter?"
35462I suppose you got a blowing up last night, for coming home without me, eh?"
35462I trust she is well?"
35462I was in her power, and she knew I dared not refuse; I therefore consented----""To drown the child?"
35462I''m very sorry; please forgive me?"
35462In the name of heaven, what have I done?"
35462Is Ev-- is my wife awake?"
35462Is it not so?"
35462Is it thus old friends, who have known each other from childhood, are to part?
35462Is n''t it saffron?"
35462Is n''t she a beauty?"
35462Is she not a beautiful girl?"
35462Is she not lovely?"
35462Is she so beautiful?"
35462Is that what you call legal justice?"
35462Is the man mad?
35462Isadore?
35462Jennie, will you oblige by introducing Mr. Rivers to me under an assumed name?"
35462Just say that over again, will you?
35462Let no one smile at her childish grief; who has been without them?
35462Look here, sirrah, will you?"
35462Lord bless me, what''s the matter?"
35462Lord bless the man!--what''s the matter?"
35462Louis, ca n''t you make her hold her tongue?
35462Louis, too, your foster- brother, how will he look on the girl whose obstinacy will make him a beggar?
35462Mark''s?"
35462Marry me?
35462Marry_ him_?
35462May I ask if you are acquainted with the inmates of Sunset Hall yonder?"
35462May I ask the name of the fair amazon I have been fortunate enough to meet?"
35462May I not come to- morrow, Celeste?"
35462Minnette''s been showing her angelic temper, and wo n''t let you go with her, eh?"
35462Miss Pearl, can you not induce her to take off that horrid black dress?"
35462Missus Scour, what ye got dar?"
35462My dear Aunty Gower, whatever put such an absurd notion into your head?"
35462No, it''s not; yes, it is, though; it''s Gipsy Gower, is it not?"
35462Now what objection could you possibly make to Doctor Wiseman as a husband?"
35462Now what shall I tell the squire is your decision about this?
35462Now, Archie, do you think I am?"
35462Now, aunty, it looks suspicious, do n''t it?"
35462Oh, Gipsy, how could you do such an outrageous thing?"
35462Oh, is there nothing but treachery and deceit in this world?
35462Oh, where can that crazy creature have gone?"
35462Oranmore?"
35462Pray tell me what_ is_ that course you speak of?"
35462Pray, madam( for such I presume you consider yourself), when will you be twelve years old?"
35462Pretty well, eh?"
35462Reader, do you recognize her?
35462Recovering herself, Gipsy sprang back, exclaiming indignantly:"What in the name of all that''s impolite, has got into you, Aunty Gower?
35462S''pose heaven ever dropped a young one on the beach?
35462Say, Celeste, may I not ask my grandfather-- and if he consents, will you not be mine?"
35462Say, dear love, when will you be mine?"
35462Seems sorter hard, now do n''t it?
35462Shall I ever find rest again?"
35462Shall I ring the bell for Aunty Gower?"
35462Shall I tell him you have consented?"
35462She liked him, did n''t she?"
35462So you''ll pay me for this, will you, Guardy?
35462Surely not Barry Oranmore?"
35462Surely_ something_ can be done?
35462Ten years from hence will_ you_ need to ask that question?
35462The invalid started quickly at the sound of their footsteps; and seeing the boy, exclaimed, in a faint, yet eager and imperious tone:"Has he come?"
35462The young man started at the sound of her voice, and, looking up, said carelessly:"Oh, it''s you, is it?
35462Then she has known him for a long time?"
35462Then, aloud:"Do you know you''re very beautiful?"
35462There was a moment''s pause, and then he asked:"And what sort of place is St. Mark''s-- I mean, what sort of people are there in it?"
35462There were more children born this Christmas Eve than that one; but how could any one ever know what he had done?
35462There; does that argument overcome your scruples?"
35462This heart-- this restless, beating heart-- will it never stop aching?
35462Understand?
35462Was I not right, when I said it concerned you more nearly than you imagined?"
35462Was it for such a turn as this I risked my life for yours?
35462Was it for words like these I cast aside my pride, and became your menial?
35462Was it the child of Esther Oranmore?
35462Was n''t that the name?
35462Was not this heart marble-- harder than marble-- ay, or granite-- till you came?
35462Was_ he_?
35462Well, and how did you get on with those old humbugs you went off to see-- eh?"
35462Well, is it dead?"
35462Well, what''s the news?"
35462What brings Miss Hagar here?"
35462What can have made her hate that angelic little creature so, I wonder?"
35462What could I do?
35462What demon could have possessed me to make her my wife?
35462What do you mean, sir?
35462What do you s''pose he''ll do to me, aunty?
35462What do you say, Miss Wiseman?"
35462What do you want me to do, Guardy?"
35462What do you want of me at this hour of the night, young man?"
35462What drove that jealous girl to love me; and to make Celeste believe I loved her first?
35462What has been your answer to Dr. Wiseman''s proposal?"
35462What has brought you out to- night in this storm?"
35462What has the future in store for me?"
35462What have I done that I should suffer such misery?
35462What if they were true?
35462What in the name of all the demons is the matter with you?"
35462What in the name of all the saints tempted her to commit such an act?"
35462What in the name of heaven can make a man of_ your_ age wish to marry a silly little thing like me?"
35462What is it?"
35462What is that?"
35462What is the matter?"
35462What is your address?"
35462What more would a man have?"
35462What more would you have?"
35462What of?"
35462What on earth have you been doing?
35462What ought she to say?
35462What shall I do?"
35462What shall it be?--your favorite?"
35462What should she do?
35462What the dickens can be in old Wiseman''s noddle now?
35462What used she to say about him?
35462What was she to do?
35462What were you afraid of?
35462What will people say to see you out riding, and your husband having fallen from his horse, and broken two of his ribs and his leg, last night?"
35462What would old Dame Oranmore say when she heard it?
35462What would you do for such a price?"
35462What would you do if I were to offer to cancel what you owe me, to pay off all your other debts, and free you once more?"
35462What you gwine to do wid it, Missus Scour, mum?"
35462What''ll you do with the pieces, Guardy?--sell them for marbles?"
35462What''s its name, Miss Scour?"
35462What''s the use of anybody''s grieving for a little, mad, hare- brained thing like me?
35462What''s your opinion, good folks?"
35462What?
35462When did you come, eh?--when did you come?"
35462When did you get home?
35462When do you start?"
35462When does she sing?"
35462When shall we meet again?"
35462Where is Celeste?"
35462Where is Gipsy?
35462Where is Gipsy?"
35462Where is nowhere?"
35462Where on earth did you get it?"
35462Where were you this morning?
35462Where''s Miss Gipsy, eh?"
35462Where''s the good of losing time?
35462Which will you do?"
35462Who are you speaking of?
35462Who could be long ill with such a nurse?"
35462Who could ever do so after beholding you once?"
35462Who could have done so unnatural a deed?"
35462Who could help liking such a sweet, pretty darling?
35462Who ever saw so bewildering a bride?"
35462Who has frightened you so?"
35462Who have you locked up, or shot, or ran away with since?"
35462Who is she?"
35462Who said it was alive?
35462Who will care for you when I am dead?"
35462Who will protect her and care for her in this selfish world?
35462Who will tell her of this?"
35462Who would ever think we were brother and sister?
35462Who''d think it?
35462Who''re you, eh?--who''re you?"
35462Who''s been bothering you now?
35462Whose, then, could it be?
35462Why are you so anxious to stay with me?"
35462Why ca n''t you be pleasant, and laugh?"
35462Why did n''t you come up to Mount Sunset?
35462Why did n''t you come?"
35462Why did n''t you wake me up, sir, when you saw her going, eh?
35462Why did you jilt poor Archie?
35462Why did you not come to see me when I was sick?"
35462Why do n''t you attend to her?"
35462Why do n''t you send for them, Celeste?"
35462Why do you dislike Celeste so much?"
35462Why have you brought me here, Gipsy?"
35462Why have you come to Saint Mark''s?
35462Why not enter a convent, and end your days in peace?"
35462Why should I?
35462Why should you stay to witness the misery you have caused?"
35462Why, what is the meaning of this?"
35462Why?"
35462Why?"
35462Will that do?
35462Will you accompany me back?"
35462Will you bestow upon me, sir, the hand of your grandchild?"
35462Will you think of me sometimes when I am gone?"
35462Will you,_ dear_ Gipsy?"
35462Will you?"
35462Wiseman?"
35462Wiseman?"
35462Wiseman?"
35462Withdrawing her hand from his, she said, in a more composed voice:"When did you arrive?"
35462Wo n''t you write when you get there, and let me know if it''s a good place for lawyers to settle in?"
35462Wo n''t you, Celeste?"
35462Wo n''t you?"
35462Wonder if he knows he''s standing on my favorite point of view?
35462Wonder what old Mother Oranmore wanted?
35462Wonder who foots the bills for all this glittering and shaking toggery?"
35462Would you become the murderer of your own nephew?"
35462You are a stranger here, I presume?"
35462You are a widow?"
35462You consummate little cheat?
35462You did n''t suppose I''d marry that ugly old daddy- long- legs, did you?
35462You have no children?"
35462You heard me say so before, did n''t you?"
35462You love Archie Rivers?"
35462You surely were n''t serious in proposing_ that_?"
35462You will do this, Gipsy?"
35462You will not give me up, will you?"
35462You would n''t have me leave the poor infant here to perish, would you?"
35462You''ll excuse him, Minnette, will you not?"
35462You''re glad to get rid of her; ai n''t you, Miss Hagar?"
35462_ Can_ this young lady be our little, shy Celeste?
35462_ Must_ I get up?"
35462_ Why_, Celeste?"
35462_ Will_ you stop?"
35462_ wo n''t_ I lead him a life--_won''t_ I make him wish he had never been born--_won''t_ I teach him what it is to drive a girl to desperation?
35462_ wo n''t_ my Liz be astonished, though?"
35462ai n''t it a funny little critter?
35462ai n''t it funny?
35462all the world has left me, and will you go, too?
35462are you sure it was drowned?"
35462aunty, have you turned against me, too?
35462aunty, what_ shall_ I do?
35462by the stage?"
35462can we never be friends?"
35462child, what is the matter?"
35462could there be greater misery for me than that to which you are urging me?"
35462cried Miss Hagar, as Celeste turned toward the light,"what has happened?"
35462did any one ever know such a strange girl?
35462did he hurt you?"
35462did he not drown you?"
35462do you dare to ask me what you have done?
35462do you dare to threaten now?"
35462do you not hear her shrieks?
35462do you recognize him?"
35462do you see that bird away up there, like a speck in the sky?
35462do you take me to be such a villain?
35462ejaculated the squire;"wo n''t it do to- morrow?"
35462exclaimed Mrs. Donne, as she ceased;"was she picked up on the beach, Christmas eve, nineteen years ago?"
35462exclaimed the astonished squire,"what can it mean?
35462have you no brains?"
35462have you not even heard that your uncle-- Dr. Wiseman-- and Miss Hagar were dead?"
35462how d''ye do?
35462how is it?
35462how pale you are; have you been ill?"
35462if I only might,"said Minnette, clasping her hands;"but I, poor, blind, and helpless, what could I do in a convent?"
35462in trouble again, little sis?
35462is it for the cold, prudish Celeste you reject such love as mine?"
35462is it you?
35462is it you?"
35462is this your answer to my petition?"
35462it''s a great thing to go to a party, ai n''t it?
35462it''s dead, is it?"
35462like that black little squaw-- that bold, ugly, half- crazy thing?
35462little Celeste-- how is she?
35462little sister!--do you not know me?"
35462muttered Archie,"can she say nothing but''_ Yes, sir_?''
35462my life, my beautiful mountain sprite!--can you, will you love me?"
35462my_ dear_ sir, what in the world can_ you_ want with that chit of a child-- that mad girl of the mountains-- for a wife?"
35462not dressed yet?
35462or is it not the cries of the fiends I hear already?
35462retorted the doctor, roused to something like passion by her deriding tone;"two murders in one night-- is that_ nothing_?"
35462said Gipsy, rather contemptuously;"what are you afraid of?
35462said the stranger, with a stare of surprise;"and may I ask, madam, if it was your intention to shoot me?"
35462shouted the squire, as, forgetful of his gouty leg, he sprang to his feet;"rode off in this storm?
35462what brings him here, Sally?"
35462what can his name be and what can he want?
35462what did you say?"
35462what do you mean?"
35462what ever will the people say?
35462what has happened?
35462what has happened?"
35462what have I done?
35462what in the world brought_ you_ here?"
35462what is that?
35462what is there gay in a few white rosebuds, I''d like to know?
35462what matter is it whether I am ill or not?
35462what possesses you to go to that wild place?"
35462what shall I do?
35462what will become of her when I am gone?
35462what''ll old marse say?
35462what''s the matter with you?"

35462what''s the matter?"
35462what''s the matter?"
35462what''s this?
35462what_ would_ Miss Lizzie say if she heard this?"
35462when she is happy with you, will you both sometimes think of Minnette, blind, and alone in a foreign land?"
35462where are you now?
35462where are you now?"
35462where can she have gone?"
35462where did you get that pretty chain and cross?"
35462where is she, I say?"
35462who ever seed sich lightnin''?
35462who the deuce is he?"
35462who would ever think of seeing you here, and in such disguise?"
35462who?"
35462why am I doomed to make others miserable?"
35462why did not heaven make_ me_ a man?"
35462why did you learn me to love you?"
35462why do n''t you hurry?
35462why have you deceived me thus?
35462wo n''t I give it to her?"
35462wo n''t it be fun?
35462wo n''t it be glorious?"
35462wo n''t you bid me stay?"
35462you are incorrigible,"sighed Mrs. Gower;"but what would you do if your guardian some day turned you out of doors?
35462you hear that?
35462you will go with me?"
35462||( what''s the matter?"
40493A Mrs. Anson, a widow, who lived in Johnson''s Mews? 40493 A meteoric diamond?"
40493A rehearsal for Monsieur Jowkacsy''s concert?
40493A sitting room and a bedroom en suite?
40493About the lamb?
40493About you? 40493 Address?"
40493Ah, you know me then? 40493 Am I to make out a check for five thousand pounds to''Philip''?"
40493Am I to pray that my mother shall be taken from me?
40493An''was that Mr. Anson himself who drove away in a private cab?
40493And hard up, eh?
40493And if your mother were living, what would she say to Lady Morland?
40493And the bigger stones, worth many thousands each?
40493And what are those-- pawn tickets?
40493And what did you say?
40493And what was that, sir?
40493And you think that by disclosing your name and address you will reveal that locality?
40493And yourself? 40493 Anybody connected with Sharpe& Smith?"
40493Are there no servants?
40493Are ye goin''a journey? 40493 Are you a Londoner?"
40493Are you afraid I wo n''t pay you? 40493 Are you alone?"
40493Are you engaged?
40493Are you going to send for a policeman?
40493Are you leaving here?
40493Are you lunching in the hotel?
40493Are you mad?
40493Are you sure? 40493 Are you sure?"
40493Are you the manager?
40493Arrah, Phil, me bhoy, where in the name of goodness are ye gatherin''the bee- utiful, leather thrunks from?
40493Be the forchun uv war, Phil, where did ye get the iligant leather thrunks, an''phwat''s in them?
40493Beg pardon,he said to the couple,"is that Mr. Philip Anson''s place?"
40493Boy, have you got a watch?
40493But what about me?
40493But what is it?
40493But where can he be? 40493 By the way,"he said, casually,"have you ever heard of anything called a blue atom?"
40493By the way,said Philip, whose heart was beating a little now,"suppose I wish to give a reference to anybody, will you two gentlemen answer for me?"
40493Ca n''t I have a light?
40493Can you distribute stalls among your acquaintances?
40493Can you form any estimate of their probable value?
40493Can you make it convenient to attend the court within an hour, sir? 40493 Can you not speak?
40493Can you oblige me with a piece of rope? 40493 D''ye want a job?"
40493D''yer tyke me for a mug, or what?
40493Did he say any more about me being the boy who found the meteor?
40493Did he, really?
40493Did n''t you succeed at the laundry?
40493Did that satisfy them?
40493Did they admit this?
40493Do n''t you know? 40493 Do you know anything of a Mrs. Mason, who used to live in this locality about ten years ago?"
40493Do you know him?
40493Do you know its value?
40493Do you know,he said,"that this odd- looking portmanteau, always locked and always reposing in a safe, has puzzled my valets considerably?
40493Do you mean it, sir?
40493Do you mean some time since?
40493Do you mean to say Mr. Wilson sent you to dispose of this stone to me?
40493Do you mean to say that you learned this fact for the first time to- day from Sharpe& Smith?
40493Do you mean to say you came here to- day to trade with me without consulting any other person?
40493Do you refuse?
40493Do you think I carry that amount of money in my purse?
40493Do you think I mean to swindle you?
40493Do you think,he said,"that you are behaving properly in treating a man of my position in such a way in his own office?"
40493Do you want anything, mother dear?
40493Doctor,he said, earnestly,"you will come back?"
40493Does Philip Anson know that Mr. James Crichton Langdon is Sir Philip Morland''s stepson?
40493Eh? 40493 Go avay und blay, vil you?
40493Goin''on, miss?
40493Good heavens, man, you do not intend to leave before Jowkacsy plays the suite in F minor?
40493Green?
40493Has he a fare, Wale?
40493Has there been some unexpected development affecting the estate?
40493Have you a tumbler or a cup?
40493Have you any money in your pocket?
40493Have you any more like this stone? 40493 Have you any more of these stones, boy?"
40493Have you called to see one of the boys?
40493Have you found it?
40493Have you or I evolved the idea? 40493 He did, eh?"
40493Here, what are you doing?
40493Him that was inspector in Whitechapel when I was put away? 40493 How can I?
40493How do I know? 40493 How long have they been here?"
40493How many of you are there, then?
40493How much do you want for them?
40493How much?
40493I beg your pardon?
40493I gather that the diamantiferous material was present in the form of tiny particles and not in stones at all approaching these in size?
40493I hope the clerk was not rude to you?
40493I may be to blame,was the sulky admission,"but who is your friend Hunter, and why does he not be as outspoken as I?"
40493I suppose there would be a reduction if taken for a month?
40493I suppose you only want this to be indicated?
40493I take it that you want the best?
40493I take it, from what you say, that meteoric diamonds are rare?
40493I will not be back from the Grange House before then?
40493I will see to it, but I wanted primarily to be certain of one of two things: First, will you pay the five thousand pounds as promised? 40493 I?
40493If I leave you here alone with this man, Grenier, will you keep him out of mischief?
40493If she had gone to the-- the workhouse infirmary-- would she have lived?
40493Is Mr. Isaacstein in?
40493Is anybody hurt?
40493Is he alone?
40493Is it worth anything? 40493 Is it worth much?"
40493Is n''t your husband at work?
40493Is that all?
40493Is that allowed?
40493Is that another name for D. T.''s, sir?
40493Is that carriage yours?
40493Is that really true?
40493Is that the Grange House?
40493Is there a man staying here who represents that his name is Philip Anson?
40493Is there a telegraph office here?
40493Is your mother a caretaker there, or your father employed in a mews?
40493It would be safe to reckon on a quarter of a million a year, all told?
40493It''s too late to reply to- night, is n''t it?
40493Just now?
40493May I say something personal?
40493Mr. Isaacstein,he said, with a pitiful break in his voice,"why do you let them do this thing?
40493Mr. Judd, are you mad?
40493Mrs. Mason? 40493 My dear, dear boy,"he cried,"what has happened?"
40493Nicked a lydy''s purse, eh?
40493Not much left, is there?
40493Not much there, eh?
40493Not-- kill him? 40493 Now, boy, what do you want here?"
40493Now, where can he have got to? 40493 Oh, he treated you kindly to- day, did he?"
40493Oh, is that him?
40493Oh, uncle,she cried,"why did you strike him?
40493On what floor?
40493One bedroom?
40493Oo gev me that crack on the nut?
40493Philip Anson,hissed a man''s voice,"do you remember Jocky Mason?"
40493Philip what?
40493Philip-- those people-- who behaved so badly to your mother----"Have they dared to trouble you?
40493Shall I pay you a week in advance? 40493 Shall I run and buy you a new one?"
40493Shall I summon the police?
40493Sir Philip is still living?
40493So I have only heard historical events, events prior to the last ten years?
40493So Robinson wrote to Bradley, knowing that I would report myself to- day, and Bradley arranged----"Who is Robinson, father?
40493Some day, I suppose, it will fall into the sea?
40493Surely they are well known here?
40493Tell me, boy,he said,"who has been advising you?"
40493Tell me, dearest, how did you manage to live until you were twenty- five without falling in love with some other girl?
40493Tell me, what did you think of me when you saw me standing disconsolate in the park?
40493Ten, twenty-- of assorted sizes, eh?
40493Thank you; and now, shall I put any address on the contract note which I will hand you?
40493The cabman knew you?
40493Then I take it that you will not inform me of the locality of this deposit?
40493Then how did you ascertain the facts?
40493Then what is the whole meteor worth, and what am I worth?
40493Then what is your name?
40493Then where are they?
40493Then who the deuce is he?
40493Then will you kindly inform us what number in Park Lane you live at?
40493Then, my young millionaire, in what way do you wish me to serve you? 40493 There are particles of a mineral that looks like iron among these stones?"
40493There is no harm in asking, is there? 40493 There is no need at this moment to explain to the bank manager that I am the hero of the police court affair?"
40493They have n''t given you a watch?
40493This blooming charity will help you a bit, then?
40493To- morrow night, sir?
40493Well,he demanded from Grenier,"did anything happen?"
40493Well?
40493Were they satisfied?
40493Were you attending a rehearsal at the Regent''s Hall?
40493Were you in earnest when you said that you have an abundance of stones like those in your hands?
40493What about me when the thing is done?
40493What about you in that rigout?
40493What are you looking at?
40493What are you thanking him for?
40493What could I do? 40493 What did you tell them?"
40493What do you mean?
40493What do you say, madam?
40493What do you think of the result?
40493What do you think of this one?
40493What do you want?
40493What does Mr. Wilson want?
40493What good is that to us?
40493What has happened now?
40493What has happened?
40493What information can we give you?
40493What is that chap after?
40493What is the date of that letter?
40493What is this?
40493What is your name?
40493What of that?
40493What sort of plundher has he in the bags, at all at all?
40493What time shall I call to- morrow?
40493What tomfoolery is this?
40493What''s that?
40493What''s the gyme?
40493What''s the matter, Jimmie? 40493 What''s to- day''s bettin''on the National?"
40493What''s up now?
40493What''s up now?
40493What''s up?
40493Whea is he?
40493When did you hear first?
40493Where are yer workin''?
40493Where are you going to- morrow?
40493Where did he coom frae?
40493Where did yer get it?
40493Where did you get it?
40493Where did you get it?
40493Where do we sup?
40493Where do you live now?
40493Where have ye bin to, at all at all? 40493 Where is it?"
40493Where is the best place to store some valuables?
40493Where to, sir?
40493Where to? 40493 Where was I ten years ago?"
40493Where''s Victor?
40493Where''s the fare?
40493Which is his room?
40493Who are you?
40493Who is there?
40493Who was Mary Anson?
40493Who''s next?
40493Why did n''t ye git dahn before? 40493 Why did n''t you tell me of any dispute when you returned home?
40493Why do n''t you answer me?
40493Why do you not tell Mr. Isaacstein I am here?
40493Why do you put''account payee''between these two strokes?
40493Why do you say''unhappily''?
40493Why not, mother?
40493Why not? 40493 Why on earth did two old people, one of them an invalid, select such a lonely residence?"
40493Why the''offense''?
40493Why?
40493Will that do?
40493Will you do what I ask, or shall I try and pull you through?
40493Will you go to her?
40493Will you kindly tell him I wish to see him?
40493Will you leave England and make a fresh start in a new land? 40493 Will you not see them, then?"
40493Will you oblige me by recommending a good tailor?
40493Will you occupy my cab? 40493 Wo n''t you wait a bit, until I get some help?"
40493Wot did I tell yer, Tomkins?
40493Wot is''e?
40493Wot''s ninepence for the treat I''ve''ad? 40493 Wot''s''e bin a- doin''of?"
40493Would my mother have lived had she consented to be taken there a month ago?
40493Would you mind telling me who paid the bill? 40493 Ye do, eh?
40493You are not going away by yourself with that stone in your pocket?
40493You are staying at the Grange House, sir?
40493You are such an industrious little woman-- what? 40493 You did, eh?
40493You do n''t drink, I suppose?
40493You do n''t think I mean to swindle you, surely?
40493You do not bring any charge against him, my lord?
40493You had no time to summon assistance?
40493You imagine then that I may deal fairly with you?
40493You said that a clerk from Messrs. Sharpe& Smith called here twice?
40493You say Mr. Wilson sent you-- Mr. Wilson, of Grant& Sons?
40493You say you were rude to him, Phil? 40493 You were sure we would accompany you?"
40493You''ve known him this long time, have n''t you, Mason?
40493_ Revenge is Mine; I Will Repay._"Ca n''t I have a light?
40493''Oo''s right now, old cock?"
404933, Johnson''s Mews._"Is there no hope, doctor?"
40493Above all, how much did he know of Philip and his affairs?
40493Am I so ready to lose faith in mother?"
40493Am I to be the instrument of God''s vengeance on this woman?"
40493Am I to go back to Mr. Wilson and say that the office boy refuses to admit me?"
40493And how many boys of his age would have struck so straight and truly at a critical moment?
40493And how will you have it, in notes or gold?"
40493And is your father dead, too?"
40493And what did Mason want with twenty- five thousand pounds?
40493And who is he?
40493And who''s yon dark- lookin''chap, I wonder?
40493And-- what the deuce is a Blue Atom?"
40493Anson?"
40493Anson?"
40493Any reply?"
40493Anything for Anson?
40493Are we?
40493Are you afraid of me, that you hold me so fast?"
40493Are you agreeable?"
40493Are you realizing property on his behalf?"
40493Are you sure Mrs. Anson is dead?"
40493Arrah, what''s come over ye?"
40493As the information is to be given to you alone, may I write it?"
40493Boy, do you know what you are saying?"
40493But how came the boy to give that name?
40493But step into my dressing room with me for a moment, will you?"
40493But that is nothing new, is it?
40493But the handwriting, that is good?"
40493But what''s the matter?
40493But where?"
40493But why this reference to any particular atom?
40493But, Mr. Anson, what wonderful change in your fortunes has taken place since our first meeting?
40493But, if Mrs. Anson died so poor, how was her son able to set this great house on its legs?
40493Can I ask anybody else if I resemble Philip Anson when made up to represent him?"
40493Can fate play us any uncanny trick that will separate us again?"
40493Can you bring him a drink of water?
40493Can you give me a few minutes alone?"
40493Can you give me the address of some one known to you?"
40493Can you say if it is a matter of recent occurrence?"
40493Could he avoid them by any means?
40493Could we, mother?"
40493D''ye want a lift?"
40493Did Mrs. Mason live there?
40493Did ever woman invent more tantalizing question than that concluding one?
40493Did he really say he had lots more of''em?"
40493Did n''t you get that job?"
40493Did n''t you spot it?"
40493Did you expect me to risk standing in the dock by your side?
40493Do either of you know him?"
40493Do n''t we, John?"
40493Do you follow me?"
40493Do you know him?"
40493Do you know the boy, sir?"
40493Do you know them?"
40493Do you remember Superintendent Robinson?"
40493Do you think I am romancing?
40493Do you think I have been idle, or that I spend Langdon''s money on a wild- goose chase?
40493Do you think he has stolen the diamonds?"
40493Do you want me to do everything?"
40493Do you want my advice?"
40493Do you wish to deal with me or not?"
40493Do you-- er-- take wine?"
40493Does danger lurk in the_ agneau du printemps_?
40493Does he even know your name?"
40493Even suppose I am discovered, will I split on you?
40493Fifteen, are n''t ye?"
40493Had Anson suspected something and arranged that he should be followed by rescuers-- avengers?
40493Had Philip Anson pitied him, or his wife, or his two children?
40493Had he also witnessed the removal of the others to the pantry?
40493Had she failed hitherto?
40493Had their scheme miscarried at this vital moment?
40493Had this young desperado broken out of prison and come to murder them all?
40493Has he gone away?"
40493Has n''t it, Eliza?"
40493Hav''ye heard wot''appened to''i m?"
40493Have another drink?"
40493Have ye got a job?"
40493Have yez heard what the murtherin''War Office is afther doin''to me?
40493Have you been to Somerset House?"
40493Have you found some friends?"
40493Have you no children?"
40493Have you no friends to look after you?
40493He asked the captain, with an oath:"Is there no way in?"
40493He failed most completely, and why?"
40493He gazed up and down the wide thoroughfare with the manner of one who asked himself:"Now, why was that built there?"
40493He held a handkerchief to his lips and spoke in a husky voice, the voice of one under the stress of great agitation:"That you, Green?
40493He opened a huge ledger, tried if his pen would make a hair stroke on a piece of paper, and said, laconically:"Name?"
40493He was known to the tribe of Jehus on account of his generosity to their charities; moreover, was not one of the order his horse- master?
40493Holloway?"
40493How came you to make such a blunder?"
40493How can I stop him?
40493How can that be possible?
40493How could I tell that the mere name of Philip Anson would create a scene?
40493How could he hope to lift it from the hole in which it lay-- how convey it from Johnson''s Mews to a new and safer habitation?
40493How could it have happened?
40493How did you ascertain it?"
40493How did you come to think of it?"
40493How does he manage it?
40493How long could they keep him a prisoner?
40493How long had the man stood there watching him?
40493How should I?
40493However, do I understand that you refuse to answer any questions?"
40493I am only offering the lady some assistance?"
40493I mean to buy some property, though, and-- can I have a hundred now?"
40493I suppose it was paid?"
40493I suppose not, eh?"
40493I suppose that is what you fear?"
40493I suppose the boy is in the workhouse?"
40493I would ask you to call some day and see my mother, but-- but----""You do not wish her to hear of your adventure to- night?
40493If these shreds of matter-- the mere husk, as it were, of the meteor-- were so ponderous, what would be the weight of the meteor itself?
40493In any case, what can we do?"
40493In that case, who is it who has been wiring repeatedly, in your name, from Station Hotel, York?
40493In the shops they sell things in tins that make chicken broth, do n''t they?
40493In what manner?"
40493Is it of great importance?
40493Is that for him?"
40493Is the gentleman who drove you from Scarsdale staying there, too?
40493Is there a secret horror in the_ salmi_?"
40493Is there anybody here who remembers her?"
40493Isaacstein?
40493Isaacstein?"
40493Isaacstein?"
40493Isaacstein?"
40493Isaacstein?"
40493Isaacstein?"
40493It does one good to see a young chap like him so jolly and comfortable, and provided with everything he can want in the world; eh?"
40493It need not be commented on, for instance?"
40493It was on the tip of the doctor''s tongue to ask:"What in the world is a Blue Atom?"
40493Judd, cahn''t yer tell us w''ere that young Morland lives?
40493Judd, was n''t it you as stood a dinner to the Boy King of Diamonds?''
40493Judd?"
40493Kimberley, Amsterdam and London combined to lend effect to Isaacstein''s wit when he said:"Is this a joke?"
40493May I ask what you intend to do?"
40493Mebbe ye know my ould shop, the marine store near the entrance to the court?"
40493Missed a twenty to one chance at Lincoln?"
40493Mount Street-- how came Mrs. Atherley and her daughter to return to the precincts of Mayfair?
40493Neat, is n''t it?"
40493No one answered"What?"
40493Now where was it?"
40493Of course, you have not sought this interview and told me your story so unreservedly without an ulterior object in view?
40493Or does the magic spring from writing those thrilling stories one sees placarded on the hoardings?
40493Policeman?"
40493Promise that you will remain as you are until I return?"
40493See?"
40493Shall we say Tuesday?"
40493Shall we say that accounts are squared?"
40493Shall we say-- the day after to- morrow?"
40493Shall we stop?"
40493Sharp work, it may be said, but what need was there to wait?
40493Should he go in?
40493Some one is looking after you pretty well; eh?"
40493Sure, now, what''s wrong wid ye?"
40493That is so, Bradley, is n''t it?"
40493That is your name, is it not?
40493That was imperative-- was his scheme to be wrecked by a blue atom?
40493The Hatton Garden magnate again related the circumstances attending Philip''s arrest, and the inspector promptly asked:"What charge shall I enter?
40493The boy was pale, and his voice somewhat tremulous as he asked:"May I go now, sir?"
40493The duel began with questions:"How did you get out so soon?
40493The police had failed in their quest; whom else had he to fear?
40493The stranger dropped his restraining hand, but shouted furiously:"By what right do you interfere?
40493Then where does all your clever scheming come in?
40493There is no gain in being hanged for him unnecessarily, eh?"
40493There''s nothing to be had down our way, is there?"
40493These things will not be in your way until the morning?"
40493They thought they heard a splash; then Mason turned coolly to Grenier:"Is there any blood on my coat?"
40493To the Bridewell station?
40493Tomatoes, mum?
40493Vat iss it, sir?"
40493Was he in that man''s power?
40493Was he not rich-- able to command the services of men-- why should he falter?
40493Was he or the boy mad?
40493Was not all London ringing with the news of his fortune, yet what man or woman had discovered the whereabouts of his treasure?
40493Was the inquiry Lady Morland''s last ruse to save an encumbered estate?
40493Was this destitute urchin going to leave the court with diamonds in his pocket worth fifty thousand pounds?
40493Was your treatment of me so free from blame at our first meeting as to serve as a model at the second?"
40493We told none of''em as how Mr. Judd went to''Olloway that night, did we, Willyum?"
40493What about blue atom?
40493What are they?
40493What are you driving at?
40493What are you saying?
40493What avail is money against a millionaire?"
40493What can I do to show my love for you?"
40493What could it be?
40493What did it all mean?
40493What did it matter if the boy kept to his rags and amazed the world, so long as the diamonds were forthcoming?
40493What did the post office make it into?
40493What did you say or do to warrant such a description?"
40493What does it matter, anyhow?"
40493What fearful chance had brought to their door one who thus boldly demanded admission?
40493What good is it?"
40493What had happened to cause him to run away?
40493What had he done?
40493What had he seen or heard?
40493What have you found in the menu to perplex you so terribly?
40493What have you to say?"
40493What intruder was this who knocked so imperatively?
40493What is he-- a_ roué_, a gambler, probably a drunkard?"
40493What is his name?"
40493What is it?"
40493What is the name of her son?"
40493What is your opinion?
40493What number is the suite, please, and will you kindly have my luggage sent there at once?"
40493What on earth caused Mason to connect him with that diamond story?"
40493What quantity of stones do you possess, and what are their sizes?
40493What sort of man was he?
40493What was a blue atom?
40493What was going to happen?
40493What was her Christian name an''address?"
40493What were you doing at the time?"
40493What workhouse?
40493What would happen if the friendly constable believed Jocky Mason''s excited statements?
40493What''s the game?"
40493What''s the matter?
40493What''s yer name?"
40493What, indeed, did this outcast want there?
40493What?
40493When it did fall, what keener satisfaction could he have than the knowledge that he would be enriched by the deed?
40493Where are they, boy?
40493Where are they?
40493Where are they?"
40493Where do you take him?
40493Where is Green?
40493Where is the laundry you spoke of?
40493Where was there a safe hiding place for his diamonds until next day?
40493Which was the more judicious course-- to remain hidden, unknown, or to drop quietly into the groove where he was recognized?
40493Who are they?"
40493Who are you that dares to usurp my name, after striving to murder me?"
40493Who could have given fairer evidence in your behalf than I did?
40493Who is he?
40493Who is the soprano?
40493Who proved that you could not have stolen the stones?
40493Who should know your character like your mother?
40493Who was Sir Philip Morland that he should dare to offer this insult to a lady?
40493Who was his unknown friend-- and what explanation was attached to the incident?
40493Who were those blackguards who employed you?"
40493Who would have guessed it?"
40493Whom have you to thank for being at liberty now, but the expert who swore that no such diamonds had been seen before in this world?"
40493Why did you drop this bombshell on me so unexpectedly?
40493Why had he not thought of this ally sooner?
40493Why have you held me back?
40493Why is he called that?"
40493Why not?
40493Why should she fear to face them simply because we are poor?"
40493Why should you rob me?
40493Why was all pretense of doubt as to his relationship swept aside so completely?
40493Why was he hiding in my doorway?"
40493Will I add a charge of murder to one of forgery?
40493Will you be afraid?"
40493Will you be pleased to unlock it?"
40493Will you buy my diamonds?"
40493Will you come with me for some supper, and thus give me a chance of telling you how much I enjoyed your daughter''s singing?"
40493Will you kindly arrange that I may be treated like any ordinary person?"
40493Will you kindly forward it to the secretary?
40493Will you kindly tell me what it is?"
40493Will you remain to dinner?"
40493Wot did''e s''y''is nyme was?
40493Wot''ll you be pleased to''ave, sir?"
40493Would anyone advance a claim to his meteor?
40493Would her spirit guide his footsteps across this new quicksand on whose verge he hesitated?
40493Would mother inspire him again as she had not failed to do during so many strange events?
40493Would others find his meteor and rob him of his mother''s gift?
40493Would you argue with me?
40493Would you like to look round?"
40493Would you mind asking the proprietor of the restaurant to step in here for a moment?
40493Yet what could he do?
40493Yet, how to manage it?
40493You are not in such a hurry; eh?
40493You heard him, Anson?"
40493You remember the small portmanteau in my safe at Park Lane?"
40493You saw his face only, I suppose?"
40493You think I am somewhat like Philip Anson at this moment?"
40493You vil be funny, eh?"
40493You will stop a moment at the telegraph office?"
40493You wo n''t tell me where you got it?"
40493cried Isaacstein, growing red with renewed impatience,"what more can I do than agree to your terms?"
40493cried John, anxiously, little dreaming how his enthusiastic speech had pierced to the very marrow of his hearer,"are you ill?
40493he asked, when the well- worn tale was ended,"and how did she come to build such a fine place here?"
40493he gurgled,"do you know what you are saying?
40493she protested,"am I taking you out of your way?
40493shouted the man who had fallen on the pavement,"why did n''t you get out of the way when I told you?"
40493what''s your name?"
43583A hot drink?
43583A little bill? 43583 A nurse?
43583A son?
43583About what time was that?
43583Am I supposed to get dressed?
43583And are there plenty of young people?
43583And could n''t they tell you anything more about the fire?
43583And how do you feel today, dear?
43583And if you do n''t mind, Miss Stone, will you call me by my right name? 43583 And is your mother going to rebuild?"
43583And little Ethel?
43583And sometimes those fires spread farther than you want them to?
43583And that''s all you know?
43583And then what do I do?
43583And where is our next- door neighbor''s cottage?
43583And why did Tom Adams suspect that you knew anything?
43583And you saw two people on your way back, you said?
43583And you''d kind of like to prove Cliff Hunter is innocent, would n''t you, Jane?
43583Another fire?
43583Any news yet?
43583Anybody drowned?
43583Are you responsible for Cliff''s arrest, David McCall?
43583Beat me up?
43583Business is n''t any too good----"What would it have been without me to help?
43583But ca n''t he be arrested?
43583But do you think she could be setting the places on fire?
43583But how can we call on him if we do n''t know him?
43583But how could he?
43583But how do you know, Mary Lou?
43583But we''d have to quote prices, would n''t we?
43583But what are you going to do?
43583But what made you do that dreadful thing to Mary Louise?
43583But what makes you think you do n''t want to go over to the Reeds''with me?
43583But where is Hattie?
43583But where were you, Mary Lou?
43583But where''s Mary Lou?
43583But who are you?
43583But why?
43583But you did n''t see anybody?
43583But you have another week, do n''t you, David?
43583By the way,asked Jane,"where is David McCall staying?
43583Ca n''t we send for him?
43583Ca n''t you tell us where you were when that fire started?
43583Ca n''t you think of something you want?
43583Can they save it?
43583Can you show me where there is a well of clear water?
43583Can you take us over to the farm now, Ditmar? 43583 Card tricks?"
43583Could n''t you borrow one?
43583Could we go upstairs and see her when you take up her broth?
43583Could we talk to Rebecca?
43583Did Frazier expect to burn any more cottages?
43583Did I-- or did I not put money in your pocket?
43583Did n''t I tell you? 43583 Did n''t anybody see the flames-- or smell the smoke?"
43583Did n''t he save our lives that night we rode in Harry Grant''s car?
43583Did n''t you bring any bag, Rebecca?
43583Did n''t you go to bed that night?
43583Did n''t you have enough excitement and mystery at Dark Cedars?
43583Did n''t you say she is home now?
43583Did she happen to say?
43583Did they expect to go to the picnic tonight on the island?
43583Did you make a fire?
43583Did you need the work, Hattie?
43583Did you see anybody in the woods or around Shady Nook?
43583Did you see the boys or anybody around at all?
43583Did you see the boys this morning?
43583Did you show it to your husband?
43583Do n''t you love it?
43583Do n''t your patients have anything to do?
43583Do you believe that, Mary Lou?
43583Do you care that much about Cliff, Jane?
43583Do you know a woman with gray hair who calls herself Rebecca, Hattie?
43583Do you know any of the details, Freckles?
43583Do you make fires at all?
43583Do you really think her husband is guilty, Mary Lou?
43583Do you think Hattie will be back soon?
43583Do you think she could be starting the fires? 43583 Do you think you have all those things?"
43583Does burning people''s houses come into his plan?
43583Even when you reached your own dock, did n''t you smell smoke?
43583Fires?
43583Freckles, what do you think could have happened to Mary Lou?
43583From the kitchen?
43583From the river, I mean?
43583Had n''t you seen any flames?
43583Had you ever seen him before?
43583Has Mr. Frazier run away too?
43583Has anybody seen Freckles?
43583Has she been here?
43583Have n''t you ever heard of a bribe, Mary Lou?
43583Have n''t you gotten over that fad yet, Cliff?
43583Have you any engagement, or can I talk to you for a while?
43583Have you any plans at all, dear?
43583Have you any suspicions at all?
43583Have you had anything to eat?
43583Have you heard any news this morning?
43583Have you seen her since breakfast, Tom?
43583He can be arrested for signing that paper confining me to the insane asylum, ca n''t he, Dad?
43583He would n''t give up college?
43583Honestly?
43583How about Frazier?
43583How can I?
43583How could Cliff have anything to do with it when he was with us all evening?
43583How did it happen?
43583How did it start?
43583How did this come?
43583How did you boys find out about it? 43583 How do you know Lem Adams?"
43583How many bungalows did you say there are, Mary Lou?
43583How?
43583How?
43583I do n''t suppose you''d have time to play with us this afternoon, would you, Mary Lou?
43583I mean, how could a detective from Albany know about the fires here at Shady Nook-- let alone suspect Cliff?
43583I mean, what other families with young people?
43583I mean, when you finally left your camp?
43583I thought maybe you girls would come in my motorboat----"And lose the chance of winning a prize?
43583In all this heat? 43583 In my motorboat?"
43583Is Hattie home today?
43583Is Mary Louise here? 43583 Is he guilty?"
43583Is he here now? 43583 Is it anything dangerous?"
43583Is n''t Frazier guilty?
43583Is n''t there some way I can prove that I''m sane?
43583Is that because you expect to become a writer?
43583Is that where they hold the dances?
43583Is there any question you want to ask this criminal, Miss Gay, before we take him away?
43583It does look good, does n''t it?
43583Lemuel Adams?
43583Letting you in on all the thrills of solving a real mystery.... Well, are you coming or not?
43583Lost a tennis ball?
43583Mary Lou, you think David sent that wire, do n''t you?
43583May I break off two sticks from some bush?
43583May I come over to see you after supper?
43583May I come up and see you, Rebecca?
43583May I go with the boys now?
43583May I have a shower?
43583Mr. Adams,she said,"may I ask a question?
43583Mystery? 43583 No clues at all?"
43583No signs of anybody?
43583Now that I have finished my work, may I go out into the garden and practice my semaphore for an hour before lunch?
43583Oh, Mary Lou, you''re not hurt, are you?
43583Oh, what?
43583Oh, where is he?
43583Oh, why ca n''t he behave himself?
43583Oh, yeah? 43583 Oh, yeah?"
43583On a case?
43583On what grounds could you arrest him, then?
43583Or do the Hunters live on the other side of you?
43583Pare potatoes-- or something?
43583Popular?
43583Prepared for what?
43583Rebecca Adams?
43583Recognize them, McCall?
43583Regular hold- up men?
43583Remember the scout motto,''Be prepared''? 43583 Since the bungalow is gone, where would he stay?"
43583Small children? 43583 So I suppose we have to go to Four Corners this afternoon?"
43583So we ca n''t count on them for any fun?
43583So what did you do?
43583So you narrowed your suspects down to two people-- besides Tom Adams?
43583Some test I can take?
43583Somebody set it on fire-- on purpose, you mean, David?
43583Such as gypsies?
43583Suppose Watson had told Sherlock Holmes that he had a date with a girl and could n''t go on an investigation with him when he was needed?
43583Tell me,urged Jane,"which boy you really like best-- Cliff Hunter or David McCall or Max Miller?"
43583The Ditmars?
43583Then I sha n''t be competing against you if I go in Cliff''s launch?
43583Then I sha n''t need any fancy clothes-- like dance dresses?
43583Then we can count on you three?
43583Then what do you believe? 43583 Then who?"
43583Think you''ll make me fergit them hundred berries you owe me? 43583 This is n''t Clifford?"
43583Tired, dear?
43583Together?
43583Tom Adams? 43583 True.... Who''s your other suspect, Mary Lou?
43583Two?
43583Want a receipt?
43583Was Tom home?
43583We had supper at half- past five last night, did n''t we? 43583 We''ll look for you in the water, then.... And, by the way, you''ll come to the party on the island tomorrow night, wo n''t you?"
43583Well, if my brother comes back here, will you please send him right over to the inn?
43583What are you doing?
43583What can you possibly do about it?
43583What did he do?
43583What did you do that for?
43583What did you do the next day?
43583What do you mean by that?
43583What do you think about it?
43583What do you want, Mary Louise?
43583What does your mother think?
43583What for?
43583What have you on the program for today?
43583What idea?
43583What in the world did you do?
43583What kind of diabolical plot is this?
43583What makes you think there will be one tonight?
43583What paper?
43583What proof have you?
43583What time was she here?
43583What''ll we go in, Mary Lou? 43583 What''s happened?"
43583What''s that, dear?
43583What''s the youth''s name?
43583When did you find it?
43583When we wear our flossy dresses?
43583Where are the Smiths now?
43583Where are they now?
43583Where are you going?
43583Where are you?
43583Where can we buy food?
43583Where did your brother go?
43583Where do I take my bath?
43583Where was she going after she left you?
43583Where will the fire be tonight?
43583Where will the''Wild Guys of the Road''be today?
43583Where you goin''?
43583Where''s Mary Lou?
43583Where''s your sister?
43583Which one?
43583Who be you?
43583Who cares about that old stiff?
43583Who else are there besides the Hunters?
43583Who is he? 43583 Who is the leader?"
43583Who''s driving first?
43583Who''s she?
43583Who? 43583 Who?"
43583Who?
43583Who?
43583Whose accomplice are you?
43583Why did I ever try to be a detective?
43583Why did he want them burned down?
43583Why hot?
43583Why not Flicks''?
43583Why not stop for the Reed girls?
43583Why?
43583Why?
43583Will you come with me or play around with Cliff?
43583Will you dance with me after supper, Mary Lou?
43583Will you men come inside?
43583With her nurse?
43583With whom?
43583Would that be all right?
43583Would you like to come and join us?
43583You are Mrs. Ditmar, are n''t you? 43583 You do n''t mean David McCall, do you?"
43583You do n''t mind my doing it, Mother?
43583You do n''t suspect him, do you?
43583You found her, Gay?
43583You have a sister Rebecca, have n''t you, Adams?
43583You mean Lemuel Adams and his son?
43583You mean that now you have to turn in and do the cooking since Flicks''Inn is gone?
43583You really are serious?
43583You remember Mary Louise? 43583 You saw the ruins?"
43583You suspect Horace Ditmar, of course?
43583You think we''re as wicked as that, Mary Lou?
43583You were expecting it, David?
43583You''re not still mad at me, Mary Lou, are you?
43583You''re not still worried, are you, Mother?
43583You''re sure that''s the truth?
43583You-- have been thinking of putting Rebecca into an asylum?
43583Your brother-- or your father-- didn''t know anything about it, either?
43583Your father? 43583 A fellow who does odd jobs around the hotel sometimes?
43583Adams?"
43583And I''m going to miss Cliff dreadfully.... By the way, where was David McCall today?
43583And how about that threat they got?
43583And is n''t it nice I have my license, so you wo n''t have to drive all the way?"
43583And the other people who were boarding at Flicks''?"
43583And who wanted them burned down except Frazier, or possibly Horace Ditmar, who, as you know, is an architect?"
43583Any news?"
43583Any relation to Hattie Adams, who always waited on the table at Flicks''Inn?"
43583Are n''t I, Miss Stone?"
43583Are there many cottages on the other side of Flicks''?"
43583Big brute with light hair?
43583But how could Mary Louise possibly prove this fact?
43583But not boys as big as Freckles and the Smiths?"
43583But she must know something, or how could she predict when they are going to occur?"
43583But what do you want me to do about them, Jane?
43583But what had he done to Mary Lou first?
43583But who cares?"
43583But why would your mother suspect Mr. Ditmar of setting fire to her cottage?"
43583But, Jane, how can you take an interest in men when your own boy- friend is in such trouble?
43583But-- but-- can you prove anything?"
43583CHAPTER II_ Clifford''s Story_"What did he say?"
43583CHAPTER I_ The Burnt Bungalow_"For the whole month?"
43583CHAPTER VIII_ Danger_"Freckles,"said Mary Louise at supper that evening,"will you lend us your tent tonight?
43583CHAPTER V_ Freckles''Story_"What in the world are you doing?"
43583CHAPTER XIII_ The Threat_"Is there anything I can do to help you people?"
43583Ca n''t you get your tennis things on and play with us this morning?"
43583Ca n''t you, Mary Lou?"
43583Can you figure out how it happened?"
43583Could we ask him?"
43583Did Tom say anything about seeing her?"
43583Did n''t he pay you a certain sum of money to start those fires?"
43583Did n''t this storekeeper profit-- by getting extra business-- because Flicks''burned down?"
43583Did the Ditmars see you boys in the woods?"
43583Did the nurse believe her?
43583Did you stay there in the woods all day?"
43583Do n''t I always square up my debts?"
43583Do n''t you know what kind of place this is, Max?
43583Do n''t you remember?
43583Do n''t you want to wear your pink georgette?"
43583Do you happen to know Tom Adams?
43583Do you know, she warned Mary Louise day before yesterday there would be another fire?
43583Do you see him?"
43583Do you, Mother?"
43583Does your husband approve, Adelaide?"
43583Flick?"
43583Flick?"
43583Flick?"
43583Flick?"
43583Frazier?"
43583Gay?"
43583Had she-- and the rest of the staff at the asylum-- been accomplices to a hideous crime?
43583Had the girl taken any part in the plot?
43583Has it occurred to you, Mary Lou, that both fires started when everybody from Shady Nook was off on a party?"
43583Have a party and invite them over?"
43583Have you found a well of clear water?"
43583How are you feeling?"
43583How are you this summer?"
43583How could anybody help liking a boy like Cliff?
43583How could he?"
43583How could she sit there and talk like that?
43583How could they commit anybody to an insane asylum?
43583How do you know?"
43583Hunter?"
43583If it had, why would n''t Ditmars''and Robinsons''cottages have been burned?
43583If only my husband did----""Does n''t Mr. Ditmar like Shady Nook?"
43583If she had been responsible for the kidnaping of Mary Louise, why was the girl so polite to her?
43583Is it in the papers?"
43583Is it-- Cliff?"
43583Is n''t there some policeman we can get to watch our house?"
43583Is this a hospital?"
43583Is this man the criminal type, Cliff?"
43583Is this the grocery?"
43583It''s about my daughter Rebecca, ai n''t it?
43583Mary Lou, what can we do?
43583No-- but maybe----""Maybe what?"
43583Now you answer a question for me: Who do you think set the Hunters''bungalow on fire-- Cliff himself, or that Mr. Ditmar, the architect, or the kids?"
43583Now, can you think of anybody else?"
43583Oh, what shall I do?"
43583Or did the Flicks buy groceries from you anyhow?"
43583Pretty, is n''t she?"
43583Remember her?"
43583Remember that time we wanted to give an entertainment for the Red Cross and he tried to charge us fifty dollars for using his dining room?
43583Remember the time they locked that little boy in the boathouse and almost left him there all night?"
43583Remember?
43583She''s all right, ai n''t she?"
43583Should she add Hattie''s name too?
43583So will you tell us when you left Flicks''--and all you know about it?"
43583Suppose Jane and I run over?"
43583The canoe?"
43583The girl who saved France, you remember?"
43583The girl who saved the Smith baby in the fire?"
43583Turning to Tom she asked,"Is Hattie over at the farm?"
43583Want to come with me, Jane?"
43583Was Miss Stone joking, or did the patient really believe she was Joan of Arc?
43583Was this plan just another proof of the Ditmars''guilt in the burning of the cottages?
43583Was what she said the truth, or only a figment of her crazy brain?
43583We could hire Hattie Adams to wash dishes, and I could cook, and you and Jane could wait on the tables.... Would you, Mary Louise?"
43583We''ve got to cook our camp meals, have n''t we?
43583What could be simpler?"
43583What could have happened to Mary Louise?
43583What could he do?"
43583What did he care about those four fellows?
43583What gave you that idea?"
43583What had he done to Mary Lou?
43583What in the world did she want?"
43583What time do we start?"
43583What were they planning to do to her?
43583What, I asked myself, could the job be except setting those houses on fire?
43583When did I promise him?"
43583Where is he, Mary Lou?
43583Where shall we go first?"
43583Where?"
43583Who around here could owe you a hundred smackers?"
43583Who cares, anyhow?
43583Who is he?
43583Who would n''t have?
43583Who would n''t?"
43583Who''s your third suspect-- the one you called a possible chance?"
43583Whom should she inform first?
43583Why do n''t you come over and go in with the crowd, now that you have n''t any job?
43583Why do you think that there will be another fire?"
43583Why must girls always talk?"
43583Why?"
43583Why?"
43583Why?"
43583Will you be home then?"
43583Will you get me a drink of water, Mary Louise?"
43583Will you promise me that?"
43583Would n''t you rather walk by yourself than have these men carry you?"
43583Would you-- go into it with me, Mary Louise?"
43583You do n''t mind, do you, Jane?"
43583You do n''t want to be with them, do you?"
43583You know the two new bungalows that were put up here this year-- beyond Flicks''?"
43583You pay me by tonight, or I''ll----""You''ll what?"
43583You really do n''t think the Flicks''Inn was just an accident?"
43583You remember hearing Freckles describing a queer creature he saw last night on his way home from the woods?
43583You saw that?"
43583You were here when it happened?"
43583You would n''t mind-- if it was something about your family?"
43583You''ll sleep out with me, wo n''t you?"
43583You''ve heard of Girl Scouts, have n''t you?"
46708''Do you really think he has left you?'' 46708 ''Sure, how can I tell?''
46708A spirit in my feet Led me, who knows how?
46708Am I Norah''s mother?
46708And if he has,I said, calmly, for I saw that she was much agitated,"are you any more afraid of him now than you were when he was in the body?
46708Are you in earnest, father?
46708Are you not afraid to leave that girl unguarded, after all the trouble she has given us?
46708Are you tired? 46708 Are you wanting her for any thing?"
46708Burton? 46708 But what was it like-- man, woman, or child?"
46708But what will father do without you, James?
46708But, Mr. Burton, do you not place yourself in danger? 46708 Can it be?"
46708Could that woman?
46708Could you identify the money?
46708Did I promise you, James? 46708 Did the family treat her with particular kindness?"
46708Did you know him?
46708Did your husband see it also?
46708Do look at her, Mr. Redfield,said the good woman,"did you ever see her looking so bright and healthy, sir?
46708Do you know him?
46708Do you know,continued my companion,"he is performing a marvel with my little Lenore?
46708Do you mean Leesy Sullivan?
46708Do you see the person now?
46708Do you think I would do any thing for your injury or disadvantage?
46708Do you think her father would trust her to us a little while, Richard?
46708For heaven''s sake,_ what_ is the matter?
46708Has Mr. Argyll placed a spy on my actions? 46708 Haunted?"
46708Have I told you_ who_ it was that hired George Thorley to murder Henry Moreland?
46708Have n''t you mislaid it?
46708Have you any likeness of George Thorley?
46708Have you found out where the wretched creature has hidden herself? 46708 Have you heard any thing?"
46708Have you noticed any thing else peculiar?
46708Have you seen my opera- glass?
46708He thinks so?
46708How can it be otherwise?
46708How did he come to have any connection with your family, Leesy?
46708How did you know that Argyll was at that house? 46708 How do you do, Mr. Redfield?
46708How do you know all this?
46708How is Miss Eleanor, this morning?
46708How''s the place getting on since the winter weather set in? 46708 I am wide awake, and full of curiosity; but how did you find your little daughter?"
46708I know I have no right here; but where else will you let me stay? 46708 I thought it was-- was--""You are not superstitious, James?"
46708I''ll soon see,cried Mary, pulling away the hand from her cousin''s face--"why, James, what is the matter?"
46708I''m not afraid-- I do n''t think I could be really afraid of Henry''s ghost, even if I should see it; but it''s so-- awful, is n''t it?
46708I?
46708If I am not, what difference does it make? 46708 If he thinks I am forming bad habits, doing wrong in any respect, why does he not remonstrate with me-- give me a chance to defend myself?"
46708If she had loved Henry, how could she, under any impulse of jealousy, have injured him? 46708 If you had no guilty secret, why did you fly from friends and enemies?
46708If you think so, Mary, why do you any longer hesitate? 46708 In what kind of a place is she?"
46708In whose shop in New York is she employed?
46708Indeed?
46708Is Bagley still here?
46708Is it my niece you mean?
46708Is it possible? 46708 Is that all that makes you think the house haunted?"
46708Is there such power of resuscitation in human vitality as this?
46708It''s queer,he resumed;"horribly queer; do n''t you think so?
46708May I inquire the result? 46708 Molly, shall I have the honor?"
46708No success? 46708 Oh, is it you?"
46708Oh, she is your niece? 46708 She has?"
46708She would n''t go for to sleep in that house alone for all the riches of Solomon,and would n''t I, at least, provide myself with pistols?
46708Tell me one thing,said Mr. Burton, his bright eye fixing itself on her own;"are you the mother of that babe?"
46708Then ought we not to make some earnest effort to save him before it is too late? 46708 Then there is no Mr. Burton belongs to your force?"
46708Then why do you not attend to it?
46708Then you did not forget the bouquet?
46708Then you think,said I,"that Leesy Sullivan robbed the family whose happiness she was about to destroy, to pay some villain to commit the murder?"
46708WELL, HOW DO YOU LIKE MY LOOKS, RICHARD?]
46708Was it chance caused you to turn?
46708Was the window open behind it?
46708We are all watched by the pure and penetrating eye of the All- seeing One, and if we are not fearful before Him, whom need we shrink from?
46708Well, Richard, Lenore,he began, drawing us a little apart from the others, speaking in a low voice,"what do you say to my leaving you?"
46708Well, and what did you come here for, you accursed New York detective?
46708Well, how do you like my looks, Richard?
46708Well, really,were the first words I heard,"has Mr. Burton taken you for an apprentice, and do you lodge with your employer?"
46708What about?
46708What are you doing in this house?
46708What business is that of yours, sir? 46708 What do you see, Lenore?"
46708What do you see?
46708What is easy?
46708What is it, Richard?
46708What is it?
46708What is she doing?
46708What makes you think so? 46708 What makes you think that I did it?"
46708What makes you think the house is haunted?
46708What on earth was that?
46708What security do you offer me against the consequences of criminating myself? 46708 What shall I do?"
46708What the deuce did you bring another of those detectives up here for?
46708What was it like, pray?
46708What was it like?
46708What was it like?
46708What were the sounds like?
46708What''s this?
46708What?
46708What?
46708When and how?
46708When did she go to New York to live?
46708Where are the girls?
46708Where did it go to when it disappeared?
46708Where is Leesy? 46708 Where is Mary?"
46708Where is he?
46708Where is my little girl? 46708 Where is she?"
46708Where is your husband?
46708Where would you go? 46708 Which direction shall I take?"
46708Who knew of your having the money?
46708Who said I murdered him? 46708 Who was that went out the gate as I came around the bend?
46708Why can I never, never, never be let alone?
46708Why do you feel so much interest in him? 46708 Why do you think that James watches me?
46708Why not?
46708Why so, Mr. Burton? 46708 Why so?"
46708Why within a month?
46708Why, sir?
46708Why,said I, inclined to draw back, as he ascended the steps,"you surely would not think of disturbing the people here at this hour of the night?
46708Why?
46708Will you describe him to us?
46708You are not getting homesick so soon?
46708You think so?
46708You two men have come here at last, have you? 46708 You''ve noticed there was a little balcony under the windows of Henry''s room?"
46708''Twas an awful deed that, was n''t it, gintlemen?
46708''What do you mean?''
46708A check for a hundred thousand?"
46708And have you really made up your mind that the poor thing is guilty?
46708Are there no signs on the shops, which you can read, as you look out?"
46708Are you not incurring risks which you ought to share with others?
46708Are you satisfied?"
46708Are you sure you are his wife, Nora dear?''
46708Argyll?"
46708BAFFLED, 64 ELEANOR, 90"WELL, HOW DO YOU LIKE MY LOOKS?"
46708Be careful of yourself-- is it not too chilly for you to be sitting here at this hour?"
46708Besides, how did they get in?
46708Browne, will you go with Mr. Argyll to the bank, and see about that money?
46708Burton?"
46708Burton?"
46708Burton?"
46708But first about my darling-- is she well-- happy?"
46708But how did it happen?"
46708But how do I know that it is not all simply to compass my destruction at last?
46708But what makes you think Henry has been here?"
46708But, as for the rest!--for the wealth which my heart had silently garnered during the golden harvest of youth-- where was it?
46708By the way, have you seen or heard any thing of Miss Sullivan?"
46708Can I be introduced, cousin Mary, or does not the Queen of fairies allow herself to make the acquaintance of ordinary mortals?"
46708Can I go on, idle and prosperous, leaving you to do all the work, and brave all the dangers of a journey like yours?"
46708Can I see them now?"
46708Can you not tell me the name of the street?"
46708Can you tell me that?
46708Did I ever tell you that I place great confidence in Lenore''s intuitive perception of character?
46708Did either of you attend?
46708Did she carry it in her arms while she hovered, like a ghost, amid the awful quiet of drooping willows and gleaming tombstones?
46708Did she rock it to sleep on her breast, in the fearful shadow of some vault, with a row of coffins for company?
46708Did you come here to see me, sir?"
46708Did you get much acquainted with her, when she was in the house?"
46708Did you know him?"
46708Do n''t you remember a young man, a coachman, coming for my letters?"
46708Do n''t you see, he will need me?"
46708Do n''t you trust me?"
46708Do you know her?
46708Do you know, sir?"
46708Do you suppose, if we went out now, we should have the opportunity?"
46708Does he know already that I was out the entire night?
46708Does n''t she stop with you?"
46708Even then, why should they blame me, or treat me coldly, for what I could not help, and for which I alone must suffer?
46708For how long?"
46708Good- mornin'', gintlemen-- and they''s heard nothin''of the murderer, I''ll warrant?"
46708Has Mrs. Scott kept a sharp lookout at the villa?"
46708Has any thing transpired?"
46708Has he been making any changes with the grounds?
46708Has it been disturbed?
46708Have you been through the rooms lately?"
46708Have you had any new revelations?"
46708Have you said any thing to him about your loss?"
46708He is uneasy about you, Mr. Redfield, did n''t you know it?
46708He laughed, but not unpleasantly, looking me through with those steel- blue rays:"Would it trouble you to fancy yourself under surveillance?"
46708His grim humor was melancholy to me-- but who could wonder that a man of Mr. Burton''s peculiar experience should be touched with cynicism?
46708How could I force myself to drop the pall over this glorious morning?
46708How dare you follow me?
46708How is all the family, sir?"
46708I asked her if she did not see that the wrong was irreparable?
46708I felt as if it ought to be prevented, yet how could I interfere?
46708I hesitated; for a moment pride rebelled; but since all is forgiven, ought it not to be forgotten?
46708I hope, sir, the loss of the letter has n''t put you to any very great inconvenience?"
46708I know the secret of your reluctance-- shall I betray it to you?"
46708I sat there with such a strange expression upon my face, that one of my fellows, remarking my mood, exclaimed jestingly:"What is it, Redfield?
46708I suppose you are aware that I have been a clerk in the dead- letter office for the last eighteen months?"
46708I suppose you have not been in the villa since?"
46708I suppose your niece intends to visit you next Saturday?"
46708I was certain that I had seen the girl enter this room at the head of the stairs, so I ventured:"Is your daughter at home, ma''am?"
46708I''d look well telling her about it, would n''t I?"
46708If so, what secret enemy had I who could instruct him to lay the murder at my door?
46708If you want to find out about him, why do n''t you go to the livery- keeper who furnished your team to you?
46708It_ was_ fancy, at first, just nervousness; but lately-- lately, as I said, there''s been things--""What things?"
46708James, are you asleep?"
46708Mary rose, hesitated, and finally came forward, saying,"How do you do, Richard?"
46708May I not send for this beautiful little girl to spend a few days with us?"
46708Mr. Burton leaned over the table, whispering,"Did you hear some one singing?"
46708Mr. Redfield, is it you?"
46708Must you go, sir?"
46708Now would he"open his dull eyes,"for Eleanor''s tears?
46708Now, as he held him, he remarked,"Another stab in the back, George Thorley?"
46708Now, who or what is this old friend?
46708Richard, did n''t Leesy affirm she saw a man descending from the old oak tree at the right of the Argyll mansion, on the evening of the murder?"
46708Shall I come for the work, sir?"
46708She must not hear it from strangers; and I can not-- Richard!--you will tell her, will you not?
46708So she sewed in the family?"
46708So she''s run away, entirely, has she?
46708So you are cowardly when you are alone evenings, are you?
46708So you wo n''t undertake the shirts?"
46708So, the wedding is to take place within three months, is it?
46708Supposing you succeeded in getting free from me-- what good would that do you?
46708That scar on the hand is a good point for identifying him-- don''t you think so, sir?"
46708That was what it most resembled; but who carried it, and how was the reflection thrown_ there_, over the roof?
46708The girl has not returned to her work yet, I suppose?"
46708The gods will not be hurried; but have you the knife?"
46708There was some bitterness in my tone; he evinced no surprise, asking, simply,"Why?"
46708There, there, Johnny, be still, will you?
46708These be miserable times, ai n''t they?
46708Think you I would wish delay?
46708This is the twenty- third of December, do you remember?"
46708Traveling through our town, perhaps?"
46708Walk off on the water, or betake yourself to the valleys and mountains of Mexico?"
46708Was it that girl, again?"
46708Was this trial, of which he spoke, that pang which she must feel in confessing herself implicated in this matter?
46708Was you wanting any work done?"
46708What do you say to my coming out here to- morrow, and to our going through the house together?
46708What does he watch me for?"
46708What enemy had Henry Moreland, to do this deed upon him?
46708What had she to do with Henry''s grave?
46708What is the number of her state- room?
46708What shall I do?
46708What was that?"
46708What?
46708Where?
46708While I was studying how to propose the question to Mr. Burton, he continued,"A smallish fellow, if I remember rightly?
46708Who does not sometimes find them evil, unwarrantable, uncomfortable, and to be ashamed of?
46708Who had dared to take upon himself the responsibility of unlawfully and with violence, ejecting this human soul from its house?
46708Who has complete mastery of his thoughts?
46708Who has dared to insinuate that thought against me which you have allowed yourself to echo?
46708Who was the murderer?
46708Whom do they suspect?"
46708Why did you not seek an interview and explanation which would have been satisfactory to us?"
46708Why do you interfere with me?
46708Why should I wish to?
46708Why?
46708Will he open his dull eyes, When tears fall on his brow?
46708Will you deny that you, too, have had a thought-- mind, I say a mere, floating thought-- that_ he_ may have instigated the deed?"
46708Will you telegraph to his parents for me?"
46708Would you guess, I was vexed at you last evening because you did n''t come?
46708Would you not be glad to see Nora under her father''s protection before you were taken away?"
46708Would you wish to go to bed?"
46708Yet what business was it of mine?
46708You are her cousin, James; will you not be the fittest person?"
46708You hear my Lenore singing now-- has she not a sweet voice?
46708You loved him then; think you he will harm you now?
46708You once told me that you did not recognize the person you saw upon the lawn, at Mr. Argyll''s, that night-- have you a suspicion who it might be?"
46708against what?
46708and does he judge me before he has an explanation?"
46708is he so foolish, too?
46708or am I not supposed to be sufficiently interested in the case to have any right to ask questions?
46708she exclaimed, suddenly rising to her full hight, with an awful air;"who do you suppose did it?"
43135A gang, eh? 43135 A woman-- a-- a woman?"
43135A''scene''? 43135 Ah, then it was you I heard, when I knocked?"
43135Am I late, sister?
43135An old trick to frighten away the superstitious peasants? 43135 An''what made_ you_ think, if I might be so bold, Sir Edgar, that it was Miss Cheyne?"
43135And afterward?
43135And do you know to whom it belongs?
43135And now, my friends, having cleared up one part of the mystery, there is still a question of the jewels''hiding place.... What''s that, Sir Edgar? 43135 And now,"he said, when Lady Margaret, blushing deeper than ever, had reproved him for his audacity,"what are you going to do next?"
43135And what are you doing here?
43135And what time did you say that was?
43135And when was the murder discovered, may I ask?
43135And where was the revolver found?
43135And where, may I ask, is the other?
43135And why does yer call me Jimmy? 43135 Are you hinting at Lady Brenton?
43135Are you sure it was n''t the same woman in the dark, Dollops?
43135Are you sure it''s safe to leave''i m?
43135Are you?
43135Are you_ sure_?
43135Back into her room?
43135Bazaars?
43135Better be moving on, had n''t we? 43135 Bring them all here?"
43135Broke the glass of the window, you say? 43135 But I do n''t think there''s any need to have that out, Auntie; do you?"
43135But how did he get them in?
43135But now what about the second murder? 43135 But there is in murder and when it comes to killing your own brother-- what''s that?
43135But what about this Aggie you speak of? 43135 But what is it?
43135But what was Edgar doing at such an hour and in such a place? 43135 But where are they?"
43135But who was the other woman?
43135But who; and why leave it here?
43135But your good sense got the better of you later on, eh? 43135 But-- how-- are you sure?"
43135By reason of these, eh?
43135Ca n''t abide niggers, myself, but there''s no accounting for tastes, and----"What''s that? 43135 Can any one identify it?"
43135Can you identify it?
43135Can you tell us? 43135 Could n''t you catch a glimpse of him?"
43135Did she possess a gold scarf, then?
43135Did you get the woman, Aggie?
43135Discovered?
43135Do n''t you think Lady Brenton is a dear woman?
43135Do you believe me?
43135Do you know anybody who has a scarlet cloak, satin, I think?
43135Do you mean to tell me it was you who sent me on that wild- goose chase to London?
43135Do you mean to tell me that a person attached to the theatre has been killed? 43135 Do you mean to tell me the jewels are hidden like that?"
43135Do you mean to tell me two helpless women have risked burdening themselves with such priceless jewels down in a lonely place like Cheyne Court? 43135 Do you think it safe enough?
43135Does she?
43135Edgar in the grounds of Cheyne Court on that night?
43135Edgar, dear, you are sure we are safe? 43135 Edgar, eh?"
43135Fine, bearded man I suppose?
43135Fluent English, eh?
43135From where, pray? 43135 Good Heavens,"gasped Sir Edgar,"what is it?
43135Good Lord man, sir, I mean,he exclaimed, agitatedly,"but what''s in the wind now?"
43135Gypsies, eh, Roberts? 43135 Hampton?"
43135Has she come of age?
43135Have I ruined your plans?
43135He is not the only one who adores his lady,he put in gently,"and what else is there about this interesting couple, pray?
43135Hear what? 43135 Heard of it, sir?
43135Hello, what''s that?
43135How and when did she come back? 43135 How could you tell by throwing, Miss Wynne?"
43135How did Mrs. Malone know that?
43135How did you come to discover where Margaret had been taken?
43135How did you know?
43135How do you know that?
43135How does yer know?
43135How the dickens did you know, or are you----"In league with the Evil One himself, eh?
43135I could n''t help myself,flung back Cleek irritably, for had not the same thought been torturing him ever since he had sped down the drive?
43135I followed you, my dear lady----"Followed me?
43135I had forgotten them, are you really going to let me see them?
43135I know that beyond all possible doubt, for Dollops saw two women with gold scarves, and as we caught Miss Jennifer----"What?
43135I know,he said, quietly,"he was jealous of you and Miss Wynne, was n''t he?
43135I''d like to have another look at Cheyne Court by daylight and locate that abominable row----"Have you heard it, then?
43135In Cheyne Court_ now_? 43135 In the house itself, did you say?"
43135Indeed?
43135Is n''t this just wonderful; meeting you like this? 43135 It was not such a wild- goose chase that night a month ago, after all, eh?"
43135Jewels?
43135Jove, Meg darling, but you do n''t mean to tell me you''re going to be mad enough to take the Cheyne jewels back to that old rookery of a place?
43135Kill? 43135 Lady Margaret-- is she in the limousine with you?"
43135Lie?
43135Lost your best patient, eh? 43135 Me, sir?"
43135Met Dr. Verrall in the lane, did you?
43135My dear chap, do you remember that Lady Brenton was born in India? 43135 My dear lady, why be more frightened by day than by night?
43135My dear, is this another reporter?
43135Of course,she said, softly,"who else?"
43135Oh, what was it? 43135 Professor James?"
43135Prussic acid, eh?
43135Scarlet satin coat?
43135See that horse there, Beauty?
43135Shall I nip back to Mr. Narkom and bring him along?
43135Shall we meet Dr. Wynne as well?
43135So he knows there is no danger of being convicted for a revolver- shot, does he? 43135 So there is that element in the case, eh?"
43135Strange thing, is n''t it?
43135Sure it was a woman and not a Hindoo priest?
43135That nigger here again, Mater? 43135 That?
43135The Purple Emperor?
43135Then what is the meaning of this outrage? 43135 There is no need for that ill- fated pendant, I hope?"
43135Think? 43135 Thought to evade justice by casting the blame upon another, eh?
43135Took you rather by surprise did n''t I, my friend?
43135Until what, pray?
43135Want to shake hands with me? 43135 Want to?
43135Was I right?
43135Was it Miss Jennifer, Miss Wynne again?
43135Well, go on, what next?
43135Well, what if she has? 43135 Well, why should it?"
43135Were there any signs of a struggle?
43135What are you doing gadding around at this time of night?
43135What are you going to do now?
43135What are you talking about? 43135 What do you make of it, Cleek?"
43135What do you mean?
43135What do you mean?
43135What do you think about it, Cleek?
43135What girl?
43135What happened afterward, Lady Margaret?
43135What has he got to do with it?
43135What have you been doing with yourself since last night? 43135 What have you discovered?"
43135What have you done with the girl? 43135 What is it, old chap; tell me?"
43135What is it?
43135What is the matter, dear?
43135What is the use of denying what we both know? 43135 What is this the man tells me?
43135What is this?
43135What jewels?
43135What made him think that?
43135What man, my dear young lady?
43135What noise?
43135What superstition is that?
43135What the devil''s that to do with you, I should like to know?
43135What was he, a labourer, gentleman, or what?
43135What was in it; you do n''t happen to have kept it, I suppose?
43135What was it?
43135What we want to know is who broke in''ere and took''er away? 43135 What''s that, my young friend?"
43135What''s that? 43135 What''s that?"
43135What''s that?
43135What''s that?
43135What''s the good?
43135What, Gunga Dall, sir?
43135What, in Heaven''s name, is it? 43135 What-- Blake?"
43135When all our hearts are bound up in it? 43135 Who am I?"
43135Who and what are they, this Miss Wynne and her brother?
43135Who are you?
43135Why did n''t I kill you the other day?
43135Why did you rush up to town so unexpectedly?
43135Why, every jewel thief in Europe will be after them, do n''t you agree with me, Miss Cheyne?
43135Why, is there anything wrong?
43135Why, what can that have to do with it? 43135 Wonder what made the young gentleman lie so futilely?"
43135Wonder who''s been in? 43135 Would it astonish you very much to know that you yourself were really in Cheyne Court on the nights of both murders?"
43135Yes, Sir Edgar, and perhaps, too, you can tell me of this one, eh?
43135Yes, sir,said Dollops, obediently, but in his own mind he was saying,"_ me_ stay out''ere if there''s going to be any danger for_''i m_?"
43135Yes, sir,said Dollops, obediently,"and shall I come back?"
43135Yes, why not?
43135Yes, why?
43135Yet what?
43135You are absolutely sure the woman was dead?
43135You are absolutely sure you have no knowledge of the murder, no suspicion?
43135You did not sleep well, did you?
43135You do n''t mean to tell me it''s a circus of dead animals, do you? 43135 You found her where I said?"
43135You know I''m speaking the truth, Mr. Headland, you_ do_ believe me, do n''t you?
43135You know some one who uses that scent?
43135You really mean that you think I killed that poor defenceless old woman?
43135You see what that is, do n''t you?
43135Your first belief, then,the Coroner said, quietly,"was that the deceased was shot by the revolver at his side?"
43135_ Edgar?_echoed Lady Brenton again, a note of fear as well as surprise in her voice.
43135_ Star?_ As you know, my friend, the Pentacle is a star formed by two equilateral triangles intersecting so as to form a six- pointed star. 43135 A little smile creased Cleek''s face, but his tones were quite smooth as he said,I see, sir; and you did n''t go back?"
43135A seal ring?
43135A seal ring?
43135A shrouded woman, eh?
43135A woman''s possibly?"
43135Ailsa, tell me, will you?
43135All we know is that a man was seen to go in----""By whom?"
43135And do you mean to tell me that that Miss Cheyne lived in that deserted barn without another soul to keep her company?"
43135And downstairs, Miss Cheyne said aloud with a queer little chuckle, when the girl had left the room:"See your friends?
43135And how was it he was so quickly on the spot?
43135And how?"
43135And if so, who was this woman----?
43135And knew all about precious stones?
43135And so you sent it along by a private messenger?
43135And through what secret egress had the body disappeared?
43135And what had become of the girl now?
43135And what had he been doing with the revolver in his pocket on that first night?
43135And what of Lady Margaret herself?
43135And who was this man who had discovered her secret, this man who was keeping back in the shadow of the bushes?
43135And why had they not attacked him?
43135And-- what?
43135Anglo- Indian, was he?
43135Are we mad or dreaming?
43135As if from some distance he could hear Roberts''s grumbling bellow:"Miss Cheyne?
43135Believe me----""Who the devil are you and what are you doing here?"
43135Besides, how did you know she was expected home?
43135Bit of a risk to leave''er, sir, was n''t it?"
43135Bobby Wynne?
43135But how, and where, had they escaped?
43135But if I am not mistaken, there''s a shower of congratulations to be presented to both you and Sir Edgar, eh?
43135But now what about that story which we are all waiting so breathlessly for?
43135But was it a woman, or simply a man in the flowing robes of the East?
43135But what I want to know is how did you get into Cheyne Court?"
43135But what I want to know is, where Lady Margaret is, Mr. Headland?
43135But what had they done with the girl''s body?
43135But what made you ask?"
43135But why do you ask?"
43135But why had either of them-- mother or son-- been concealed in the house that night?
43135But with what?
43135By the bye, is Lennard outside?"
43135By whom?
43135Ca n''t you get rid of her, Aunt?
43135Can you come with me?
43135Can you not tell us the reason of your presence there?"
43135Clearly you have been examining stones of some kind, real or artificial, see?"
43135Close as that, eh?
43135Coming along, Headland?"
43135Coming, Ailsa?
43135Could it be Sir Edgar?
43135Could it have been Lady Brenton whose figure had flitted across the lawn before his startled eyes?
43135Dall?"
43135Deland?"
43135Did Sir Edgar know, and was he shielding her; concealing her in London?
43135Did n''t you hear it?"
43135Did n''t you meet any one else at all?
43135Did she already suspect her customer of sinister designs?"
43135Did you kill the old lady?
43135Did you notice the gold lace scarf also?"
43135Did you see anything more of her?"
43135Did you see the man''s eyes?
43135Did you then suspect your brother of having committed both murders, that you tried to bribe the butler, John?
43135Did you?"
43135Do n''t tell me you''ve discovered the truth at last?"
43135Do n''t you think so?"
43135Do n''t you think you could take the law into your own hands and force an entry?
43135Do you feel up to relating your adventures, just to clear away the curiosity which I see written on every face?"
43135Do you happen to know from where Dr. Verrall came to this place?"
43135Do you hear me?"
43135Do you mean to tell me there are Hindoos here?"
43135Do you see over here, for instance, a little piece of the wood, darker than the rest?"
43135Do you see?"
43135Do you think you know?"
43135Does he think he is going to find Lady Margaret wandering about Piccadilly Circus?
43135For Miss Cheyne dislikes me intensely and----""Any reason for that, sir?"
43135For one thing, why should Lady Brenton wish to wear my things?
43135For what?
43135For''e was coming back from the station----""How do you know that?"
43135Go back now with you to catch them?
43135Going to make any''alterations''in your appearance?"
43135Had he then gone prepared to kill him?
43135Had it then been only a blind?
43135Had she meant Edgar Verrall then, and not Sir Edgar Brenton after all?
43135Had the desperate lover conceived the plot to murder the woman whom he believed to stand in the way of his marriage with Lady Margaret?
43135Have you ever seen this before?"
43135He could easily have obtained the prussic acid; who better than a doctor with his own private dispensary?
43135He recalled Jennifer''s words:"Edgar-- so he_ did_ leave----"Leave maybe-- but what about the revolver?
43135He was a bit too clever, eh?
43135He''s come from Hampton where there seems to be some mysterious goings on at a place---- What did you say its name was, Sir Edgar?"
43135Headland?"
43135Headland?"
43135Headland?"
43135Headland?"
43135Headland?"
43135Hidden; but where?
43135His movements will possibly be somewhat interesting, and I''d like to keep posted regarding them---- So she was walking in her sleep then, eh?
43135Hmn---- Pay him?
43135How and where?--or perhaps you do n''t know?"
43135How did I come to think of it?
43135How did I find out where Lady Margaret was hidden and by whom?
43135How did you come to go to Cheyne Court again?
43135How did_ you_ come to hear of it?"
43135How do I know that you did n''t kill him yourself for that matter?
43135How she got in, fair licks me, but she''s in right enough and----""What''s that?"
43135How, indeed?
43135Hullo, Headland, you''re not going to have another attack, are you?"
43135I can do with a drink, ca n''t you?"
43135I daresay Lady Brenton will contrive to waylay her to- morrow, and then----""Journeys end in lovers''meetings, eh?"
43135I do not think that either the police or the other members of the gang would have thought of searching in so queer a hiding place, do you?...
43135I suppose she''s all right?"
43135I understand now, you were walking in your sleep, and you took my scarlet opera- cloak-- the one we had had such a talk over; do n''t you remember?
43135I wonder if you would think it a liberty if I asked to be allowed to introduce him to you?"
43135I wonder, now, what poor young Dollops has got to say?"
43135I wonder-- why were you not honest with me?"
43135I''ll not be speaking the black word against anybody, but sure an''I belave I know the man what did it----""What''s that?
43135If Lady Margaret herself, driven to desperation, had killed the woman-- or man, as she might have discovered him to be-- who kept her prisoner?
43135If it had been Miss Jennifer, what was she doing that other night when the man was murdered?
43135If she is innocent, what was she doing in that room?
43135If she was so fond of Lady Margaret, why had she not gone to the station to meet her?
43135Is that why you wanted me to put it away?"
43135It must be the same woman I myself saw a month ago; and yet how does Miss Jennifer come to be there?
43135It''s wonderful, that''s wot I calls it, but it all came of''i m a wanting to go a fishing----""Fishing-- a Hindoo go fishing?"
43135Jennifer Wynne, whose deception was so obvious; Sir Edgar Brenton, supposed to be in town; or the unknown stranger whose footprint they had found?
43135Kill whom, Mr. Dall?
43135Lady Margaret Cheyne did you say?
43135Lord Cheyne now-- didn''t he marry Miss Peggy Wynne, known over London as''the beautiful Irish girl''?
43135Murdered an old woman for the sake of a few''old clo''?
43135My God, what are you talking about?"
43135Nearly there, ai n''t we?
43135No woman at all-- eh?"
43135Not_ that_ Blake, Cleek?"
43135Now did he administer that prussic acid, or did he not?"
43135Of a pair, eh?
43135Or was it not likely to have been a case of hypnotism?
43135Or was it, after all, Lady Brenton?
43135Or-- no-- no, let me see, a seller of second- hand clothes is a wardrobe keeper, is he not?"
43135Perhaps Miss Jennifer had come down to learn any fresh news?"
43135Perhaps you can explain that also?"
43135Perhaps you''ll deny that?"
43135Please try and force it for me, will you?"
43135Pretty bad little hole, eh, what?"
43135Ready, Dollops?
43135Remember me now?"
43135Revenge?
43135Roberts?"
43135S''pose those devils, Pentacle gangers they was fer sure, nipped''i m?
43135She was probably on her way home from Lady Brenton''s; were you not, Miss Wynne?"
43135She-- er-- entertains somewhat of a liking for you, does n''t she?"
43135Slender, eh?
43135So Lady Brenton was there, was she?
43135So a revolver had been found beside the body of the murdered man who had so successfully impersonated the Honourable Miss Cheyne herself, had it?
43135So that was how the land lay, was it?
43135So that was it, was it?
43135So that was the explanation, was it?
43135So that was the young gentleman''s explanation of his presence in the grounds, was it?
43135Sort of floating about under the trees in a kind of red dressing gown----""What''s that-- red-- do you mean scarlet?
43135Supernatural or human?"
43135Sure it was a man?"
43135Surely all circuses are not composed of gypsies, are they?"
43135Surely you do not believe----?"
43135Tell me; what is it?"
43135That is fair enough, is n''t it?
43135That is why I wired, afterward, so as to make up for it----""Wired?"
43135That shows the nature of the man, does n''t it?
43135That the man outside was waiting for someone to come out was obvious, but for whom?
43135That was evidenced by the scrap of torn lace found in the dead man''s hand, and----""Torn lace?"
43135That''s about it, do n''t you think so, sir?"
43135The hotel?
43135The point is, who was it?"
43135Then perhaps Sir Edgar----"Was it possible for the man to have taken it himself; committed suicide, in fact?"
43135Then she spoke hysterically:"Why should I?
43135Then why had she been forced to introduce Gunga Dall to Lady Margaret when the child had been in Paris?
43135There was no surprise, was there, Roberts, when you told her?"
43135There was some connection between this murder and the Cheyne Court mystery; but what?
43135Unbroken?
43135Understand?"
43135Verrall?"
43135Walking in her sleep, eh?
43135Walking in her sleep, eh?
43135Want to take it?"
43135Was it scarlet satin, Dollops?
43135Was that what had taken her ladyship down to the lodge to see Miss Cheyne last night?
43135Was there some power that the Hindoo possessed over the elder woman?
43135Well, who killed her, I say?
43135What about that revolver with the''B''on it?
43135What about the Eye of Shiva, then?
43135What do you mean?"
43135What do you say to that?"
43135What does it mean?"
43135What does this impertinence mean?"
43135What flowers could this girl raise in a riverside cottage that would produce such a sum?
43135What has become of her?
43135What is it?"
43135What part was his in this grim tragedy of death?
43135What right have you to arrest me?"
43135What was it that she had said?
43135What was it that this stranger wanted to learn, and why had he been so persistent in his inquiries?
43135What was it?
43135What was the place like and how far away was it?
43135What were you doing at Cheyne Court the night when the real Miss Cheyne was shot?"
43135What woman was it that would remain behind in this place of ill omen?
43135What''s in the wind?
43135What''s that, Lady Brenton; impossible without a lift?
43135What''s that, Sir Edgar?
43135What''s that?
43135What, indeed, was the connection between Miss Jennifer and the dead"Miss Cheyne"?--or was it Dr. Verrall, after all?
43135What, too, has become of that poor girl?"
43135What_ could it be_?
43135When did this peculiar outrage take place; at what time; and when?
43135When did you discover the trick that had been played?"
43135Where did she hide herself yesterday?"
43135Where is she, dear?
43135Where is that helpless child?"
43135Where is the incentive?"
43135Where, too, did Miss Jennifer and her idiot of a brother come into the puzzle,_ and_ Lady Brenton?
43135Which was it?
43135Who and what is this disgusting individual?
43135Who was it?
43135Who were these dreadful people who laughed, joked, and drank with her aunt as though they were equal in station?
43135Who would be the next to be called?
43135Whose window and why did you break it?"
43135Why did n''t you leave that to me?
43135Why did you want to see me here like this?
43135Why had Sir Edgar himself taken the foolish trouble of asking Miss Cheyne''s permission when he knew it would be refused?
43135Why should I murder her, poor creature?
43135Why, where did you spring from, and why have n''t you been near me?"
43135Why-- oh, why did you mention about those lace scarves?
43135Why?
43135Wot if''e ai n''t''ere, after all?
43135Would you care to see it?"
43135Would you mind if I ran up and got it?"
43135Yet if it were not she, who, then, had worn the scarf in her place?
43135You are not insinuating that the man would harm his own sweetheart?
43135You could n''t have left it lying around anywhere?"
43135You do want them, do you not?"
43135You surely ca n''t believe that he could have had a hand in such a frightful crime?"
43135_ But was it true?_ Was it not rather an attempt to establish an alibi, and thus throw dust in the eyes of the police?
43135_ But was it true?_ Was it not rather an attempt to establish an alibi, and thus throw dust in the eyes of the police?
43135_ But who?_ Cleek stood there, his brows pulled down, his chin pinched hard as he thought of the prussic acid and other things.
43135_ Did_ you get it?"
43135_ Huile de jasmin_, eh?
43135_ Huile de jasmin_, eh?"
43135_ Identify it?_ The hush that came over the room could almost be_ felt_, it was so intense, so absolute.
43135_ This_,"he flung out his foot in scorn,"well, do n''t you think you had better remove the wig first?"
43135a heavy inheritance that, a thousand pities she was n''t a boy---- What''s that, dear?
43135came Lady Brenton''s voice again,"are you mad to accuse me of such a thing?
43135he said excitedly"What does that mean?
43135he said, mentally,"someone else knows of it, eh?"
43135how could that child have perpetrated a deed like that and escape, vanish without a sound?
43135now what can that noise be?"
43135what is it?"
43135with a sudden cry of fear,"do you mean that you suspect_ him_, Sir Edgar, of being concerned?
35902''Ah, then you know her? 35902 ''Ah, then, this lady, whom you suspect of taking your stud, had hoped to join your society?''
35902''Allowed it? 35902 ''And accomplish what?
35902''And you mean to do it?'' 35902 ''And you think that one of your friends would do what you would not attribute to your maid?''
35902''But why have you allowed this affair to so prey upon your mind?'' 35902 ''But why have you read these cards?''
35902''But yourself?'' 35902 ''Cigarettes?
35902''Did he say when or how he would murder you?'' 35902 ''Did you happen to notice that while you were there she placed a diamond stud on the tea- table?''
35902''Do you know who is threatened? 35902 ''Do you recall whether the stud was still on the table when you left?''
35902''Gone with them? 35902 ''He told you this openly?''
35902''How could you keep her hands always occupied?'' 35902 ''How?
35902''I suppose you are right,''said she reluctantly;''but how did the stud disappear? 35902 ''I suppose, of course, you have searched this room, under the possibility of its having dropped to the floor?''
35902''I wonder,''said he,''whether you could prevent a crime?'' 35902 ''If not yours whose are they, pray?''
35902''In what manner?'' 35902 ''Kleptomania?''
35902''Let me see; according to the calculation on the card that reached you this morning there are still two days of respite?'' 35902 ''My rival?''
35902''Of this you are quite sure?'' 35902 ''Oh, I thought you knew the thief?''
35902''Sell it to you? 35902 ''Steal my ruby?
35902''Then you think this Mrs. Merivale took your stud just to annoy you?'' 35902 ''There, do you see these?''
35902''Us? 35902 ''What do you know?
35902''What do you mean? 35902 ''What do you mean?''
35902''What if I tell you that she is not in the house?'' 35902 ''What if it is true?
35902''What precautions?'' 35902 ''What shall I do?''
35902''Who are you? 35902 ''Why not sugar?''
35902''Why, no,''I replied;''how should I?'' 35902 ''Why?
35902''Would you mind saying which one you are the more inclined to suspect?'' 35902 ''Would you mind telling me what that impression was?''
35902''You dare to insinuate that I took her miserable little stud? 35902 ''You mean that Janet might have taken it?
35902''Yourself? 35902 A crowd coming here to- morrow?
35902A new pearl? 35902 A strange coincidence, was it not?"
35902Abduction?
35902Again, how should her abductor know that her father is rich?
35902Ah, he had a wife?
35902Ah, then you have found a clue?
35902Ah, then you have solved it?
35902Ah, then you know so much? 35902 Ah, what was that?"
35902Ah, you have brought it with you?
35902Ah, you know that? 35902 Ah,"he sneered;"so you have spies upon your guests?"
35902Ah; and you would like to hear the story?
35902Ah; then you think that it was taken from the coffin and another substituted for it?
35902All that is quite clear, but how to proceed?
35902All this?
35902Am I not?
35902Am I to understand that one of the dead man''s brothers hired Morgan to do this?
35902An undertaker''s wagon?
35902And are the experts making such an analysis?
35902And because of the accident of birth, I was bound to love him? 35902 And do you know all of these histories?"
35902And during this five or ten minutes the maid was not in the breakfast- room?
35902And his funeral?
35902And is it so difficult to do this? 35902 And that was?"
35902And that, you think, ends the case?
35902And then what?
35902And those are?
35902And upon what charge, pray?
35902And what, pray, was the object, since you are so wise?
35902And who, pray, is my alleged accomplice?
35902And why, pray?
35902And why?
35902And you are intending to examine all the watch- chains in the neighborhood upon such a chance as that?
35902And you are sure there are two punctures in the body at the Morgue?
35902And you have solved it?
35902And your next move will be?
35902Are you certain of that?
35902Are you connected with the police force?
35902Are you one of the detectives?
35902Are you quite sure?
35902Are you sure,said Mr. Barnes after a pause,"that the body taken from the river was that of your brother Rufus?"
35902Are you taking care of it for the office?
35902Are you, now? 35902 Barnes?
35902Burrows,said Mr. Barnes,"I hope that you are not merely following your impulsive imagination?"
35902Business? 35902 But I thought that Isis was an Old World goddess?"
35902But I understood that Morgan brought the wagon back?
35902But did the accident leave a scar?
35902But do you think that this man Morgan would do anything that would make him afraid of meeting a policeman?
35902But how could he hope to be paid for such an act?
35902But how could the body have gotten out of the coffin?
35902But how could you be sure that you would recover the opal?
35902But how did he get Elinora?
35902But neither of the undertakers came back upon any excuse?
35902But the forty thousand dollars?
35902But they say at the stables that it was you who drove the wagon back there?
35902But was the search thorough?
35902But what did that prove? 35902 But what has this to do with your collection of jewels?"
35902But what of the identification of the body at the Morgue?
35902But who would pay him, and with what object?
35902But why are you so sure that Morgan is innocent? 35902 But why do you say that?"
35902But you have admitted that you did not wish this?
35902But you know that there is another?
35902But you wish to know how it came into my possession? 35902 But, being myself, you fancy that the danger will pass from me?"
35902By marrying the woman you loved?
35902By the way, Barnes, have you abandoned your theory?
35902By which you mean?
35902Can there be any doubt?
35902Can you give me an idea of how he looks?
35902Can you tell me,he asked,"whether your mistress took any of her clothing with her?"
35902Could we settle that point by an examination of the ashes?
35902Cremated? 35902 Did I not promise you that I would?"
35902Did White get over that blow?
35902Did any one enter the house that night, so far as you know?
35902Did he awaken his brother?
35902Did he?
35902Did she know?
35902Did the brothers leave the room with you?
35902Did these men leave before you did?
35902Did this man Odell tell you the same story as that sent to you by the Texan?
35902Did you have any trouble to get her to bed?
35902Did you have any trouble?
35902Did you notice whether Mr. Amos was dressed or not?
35902Did you observe that the screws were odd? 35902 Did you tell the maid that the doctor had called?"
35902Did your brother Rufus have any rings on his fingers when placed in the coffin?
35902Do I?
35902Do n''t you?
35902Do they all agree to that?
35902Do we always have our wishes gratified in this world?
35902Do you know him by any other name?
35902Do you know that White went out of town?
35902Do you know when Mr. Mark went up to his room? 35902 Do you know where he lived?"
35902Do you know which door?
35902Do you know why these opals are so exactly alike?
35902Do you mean that John Wood and Carl Grasse are one and the same person?
35902Do you mean that Miss Livingstone was the thief?
35902Do you mean that this whole thing is nothing but a joke? 35902 Do you mean to say that such a thing as this has occurred?"
35902Do you mean to say that you had me followed? 35902 Do you mean to suggest that I should shield you in this matter?"
35902Do you mean, Mr. Barnes, that she was wearing the Aztec Opal?
35902Do you think I could get into his room?
35902Do you think that you are a New Yorker?
35902Do you wish to ask me questions, or will you reply to one or two from me?
35902Does Mr. Berial always screw on the coffin lids himself?
35902Does he admit that he took the rings?
35902Does he explain how and why he took the body from the coffin?
35902Doing what?
35902Done for?
35902During which, I presume, the person who planned the affair readily consummated his design?
35902Even the idea of the doublets?
35902First, then, let me ask you, have you read the morning''s papers?
35902Forgotten your name?
35902From which you deduced?
35902Good at what?
35902Has he served you long?
35902Has it not? 35902 Have you any idea as to where I could find this man Morgan?"
35902Have you any idea how he got out of it again?
35902Have you any special way of knowing that?
35902Have you any suspicion?
35902Have you been able yet,asked Mr. Barnes,"to verify any part of this man''s story?"
35902Have you formed any definite conclusion as to the motive in this case?
35902Have you looked at the property represented yet?
35902Have you made no discoveries as to what has become of her?
35902Have you seen Tommy White since Jerry Morgan skipped?
35902He gave up his job here this morning, did he not?
35902He keeps the screw- driver in his own possession?
35902He usually comes in to luncheon, however, does he not?
35902Her opal?
35902How could she forget your locking her in a room when she was most anxious to be elsewhere? 35902 How could you have such a thing?"
35902How did I know that? 35902 How did he get it out of this room?"
35902How did she receive it?
35902How did you know?
35902How did you pass the night? 35902 How did your plan result?"
35902How do I know? 35902 How do you account for the bare arms?"
35902How do you know that any crime has been committed?
35902How do you mean that you know all about it?
35902How do you mean?
35902How is it that you did not yourself detect the forgeries? 35902 How is it, Mr. Gedney, that the doctor did not speak to you personally instead of to the servant?"
35902How long did he stay?
35902How long was it after you admitted the doctor the first time, when you answered his second ring?
35902How much did he offer?
35902How should I know, Mr. Barnes, unless, indeed, I did it myself, or instigated or connived at the doing? 35902 How so?"
35902How was it fastened? 35902 How was that?"
35902How was that?
35902How would you have proceeded, had the case been in your care?
35902I am curious to know,said Mr. Barnes,"how you recovered or expected to recover those pearls?"
35902I know nearly all gems of great value; but what of this one?
35902I suppose,said Mr. Barnes,"that the coffin in which you placed Mr. Quadrant was fastened in this fashion?"
35902I wonder,thought he,"whether this bit of paper would furnish me with a clue?
35902If this man Morgan did this thing, can you imagine why he did it?
35902In reply, I ask you, do you make such a statement?
35902In the meanwhile shall you do any-- any investigating?
35902In the same house?
35902In this room? 35902 Is Mrs. Mitchel at home?"
35902Is it?
35902Is your business important?
35902May I ask this man a few questions, Burrows?
35902May I have the pleasure of knowing yours?
35902May I look again at the volume?
35902May there not be something in your pockets that would help us; letters, for example?
35902Might not one of these men have secreted the bank- note elsewhere, and then have possessed himself of it after your search?
35902Miss Rose?
35902Mistake? 35902 Morgan, eh?
35902Mr. Barnes, the famous detective, I believe?
35902Mr. Gray told you?
35902Much money in it?
35902Murder?
35902Must?
35902My brother told you that? 35902 My heart leaped, and my tongue moved unbidden:"''With me?''
35902Not cremated? 35902 Now Williams, what do you mean by that?
35902Now then,continued the detective,"what''s wrong?
35902Odd, is n''t it?
35902Odd?
35902Of course you supplied him with eatables?
35902Of what disease?
35902Oh, is there more?
35902Oh, then you know this man Morgan?
35902Oh, then you know where he is?
35902Oh, you know the gem?
35902Oh; then you did find your missing link?
35902Pawn- tickets?
35902Perhaps he does not come because Morgan is away?
35902Perhaps you think that I am in danger?
35902Rings, are they?
35902Sent away? 35902 Small facts?"
35902So it was madame who would not sell? 35902 So that all three were easily within reach of the bank- note when you placed it upon the table?
35902So that the body was left with the undertaker and his men, after they knew that it was not to be opened again?
35902So you think that Domingo might try murder?
35902So you think that the whole series of events was prearranged? 35902 Some interesting case, Mr. Barnes?
35902Stealing your daughter?
35902Still these symptoms were sufficient in your own mind to satisfy you that your diagnosis was accurate?
35902Suppose I give you a detailed account of my work in solving the riddle? 35902 Suppose that I tell you that though my brother requested that his body should be cremated, both his widow and myself were opposed?
35902Suppose that he had stolen it before he heard that his sweetheart was to inherit it?
35902Suppose,said he,"that it could be shown that the ashes now in the urn at the cemetery are the ashes of a human being?"
35902Tell me, was any one else present at this examination besides the Chief and the two experts?
35902Tell me, what was the name of this pal? 35902 That is all you know?"
35902That is all, then, that you know of what occurred that night?
35902That is to say, by using your brains?
35902That is to say, the night of that day on which I came here and had a talk with you?
35902That, you say, was the night after this affair was published in the papers?
35902The Pearls of Isis?
35902The first acquisition to your collection?
35902The man in the coffin, do you mean?
35902The motive for what?
35902The pockets of the seven persons present were not examined, I presume?
35902The undertaker himself closed the casket, I presume?
35902The writer says that the''occurrence''was''inevitable,''yet am I to understand that you prevented it?
35902Then Mr. Gray did not steal it?
35902Then am I to understand that you buy jewels with that end in view?
35902Then by what right do you intrude yourself into this affair?
35902Then how do you know what you have told me?--that there was no chance for substitution at the crematory?
35902Then if, as you now signify, this is not your brother''s body, what shall I think of your suggestion that you yourself placed the body in the river?
35902Then the accomplice is still in this country?
35902Then you are still willing to make the purchase?
35902Then you confess? 35902 Then you do not believe that he was cremated?"
35902Then you exempted the attendants from your suspicions?
35902Then you know who took the note?
35902Then you mean that, after all, this spot upon which the identification rests does not now look as it did in life?
35902Then you purposely turned your back when you went to get the silver band?
35902Then you released your prisoner?
35902Then you think it was to obtain possession of this opal mine that Mr. Livingstone sought to obtain Mrs. Gray''s opal?
35902Then you think that Mark Quadrant concocted this scheme?
35902Then you think that the woman was choked to death?
35902Then, if Jerry did this, he must have had a duplicate screw- driver?
35902There was another man besides yourself who assisted at the Quadrant funeral, was there not?
35902They are beautiful, are they not?
35902This morning?
35902Too late?
35902Upon your mercy?
35902Was he in Mr. Berial''s employment at the time of the other affair?
35902Was his suggestion acted upon?
35902Was not that my best course? 35902 Was the coffin closed at once?
35902Was the lamp in his hand one that he had brought down from his own room?
35902Was there ever a body at the Morgue that was not identified a dozen times? 35902 Was this known to many persons?
35902Well, I served my time, did n''t I? 35902 Well, Mr. Barnes,"said Mr. Mitchel,"shall I surprise you with my story, or have you two gentlemen worked it all out?"
35902Well, Mr. Imp of Satan, what luck? 35902 Well, Tom,"said Mr. Barnes, cordially,"so you have caught your man and brought him back?"
35902Well, a jackass works like a slave, do n''t he? 35902 Well, now, if his name is Morgan, did you think this ring with a''Q''on it was his?
35902Well, then, suppose I tell you my story from the beginning?
35902Well, then,said Mr. Barnes, testily,"how did you know that I had, as you declare,''discovered Pedro Domingo''?"
35902Well, what if I have?
35902Well, what if you did? 35902 Well?"
35902Were these checks paid by you personally?
35902Were you present when the coffin lid was fastened?
35902Were you there yourself?
35902What about Barnes? 35902 What about the young lady?"
35902What are you doing about here? 35902 What baggage have you with you at the hotel?"
35902What could I do? 35902 What could he know, if, as you say, he was not in the confidence of Domingo?"
35902What did I tell you?
35902What did he say when he came?
35902What did this lead to?
35902What did you do next?
35902What do you mean?
35902What do you mean?
35902What do you mean?
35902What do you mean?
35902What do you think of this letter?
35902What does this mean?
35902What does this outrage mean?
35902What guests were on the yacht?
35902What happened then?
35902What happened when you admitted the doctor?
35902What has the sharpness of the knife to do with this?
35902What have you to do with justice? 35902 What important point did I omit from my calculations?"
35902What is the trouble?
35902What is your name?
35902What is your name?
35902What makes you think so?
35902What mistake could have occurred at the Morgue?
35902What move will you make first?
35902What name?
35902What of the little woman in the green domino? 35902 What of the scar that I could not find on Rufus Quadrant''s foot?"
35902What other affair?
35902What other crime do you anticipate as possible? 35902 What reason?"
35902What shall you think? 35902 What should I say to that?
35902What time?
35902What view does he take of the case?
35902What was that?
35902What was this man''s name?
35902What were their reasons?
35902What wonder that I learned to love the girl? 35902 What''s the use of courtin''trouble?
35902What, all three at the same time?
35902What, then, did you do with the screw- driver? 35902 What, then, does it show?"
35902What, then, is your opinion as to how this strange occurrence has come about? 35902 What?"
35902When did this occur?
35902When did you see her after that?
35902When did you tell her?
35902When was that?
35902When you catch him? 35902 Where are the genuine opals, Mr. Barnes?
35902Where can I find him; do you know?
35902Where did you get that from?
35902Where do you stable?
35902Where is this Nellie now?
35902Where will you start?
35902Which funeral?
35902Which have you decided upon?
35902Which is?
35902Who is Amos?
35902Who knows? 35902 Who left these with you?"
35902Who says so? 35902 Who says so?"
35902Who was that?
35902Who was the depositor at the Harlem Bank?
35902Who was this man? 35902 Who, indeed?"
35902Whose wish was this?
35902Why did you not solicit my assistance?
35902Why do you ask that?
35902Why do you doubt it?
35902Why do you think so?
35902Why illogical?
35902Why not, pray?
35902Why not?
35902Why not?
35902Why not?
35902Why not?
35902Why should he relinquish his hope of getting possession of that mine? 35902 Why was it not difficult?"
35902Why, how do you mean?
35902Why, how has he accomplished his purpose? 35902 Why, pray?"
35902Why, thank you, I will take some, but how do you know that I came off in a hurry and had no coffee at home? 35902 Why, then, did you hesitate to tell me of him?"
35902Why, then, do you cast a doubt upon the matter by saying that Mr. Berial thinks he has the only one?
35902Why, then, each pearl would represent a temple virgin reincarnated, as it were?
35902Why, then, if you still have it, it would be interesting to make the test, would it not?
35902Why, then, the identification seems absolute?
35902Why, what do you mean? 35902 Why, would you think that Mr. Berial would steal?"
35902Why?
35902Why?
35902Will I?
35902Wo n''t you let me speak to you alone? 35902 Would you mind stating those reasons?"
35902Would you object to telling me what others share your extraordinary opinion?
35902Yes, but did you ever see a trial where expert witnesses were called, that equally expert witnesses did not testify to the exact contrary? 35902 Yes, but suppose I tell you that the theory is that the man who stole the rings was your accomplice in the main matter?
35902Yet it was done, was it not?
35902Yet you found none?
35902You are quite sure that Remington is not your name?
35902You are speaking of the body at the Morgue?
35902You are sure of that?
35902You assisted in preparing the body for the coffin, I think?
35902You did not happen to know the driver of that vehicle?
35902You do n''t mean you''re going to keep the rings? 35902 You had been notified?"
35902You have done something clever, you say? 35902 You have succeeded?"
35902You know Tommy White, of course?
35902You know all about these patent coffin- screws?
35902You know when the undertaker and his men came and went, and how often, I presume? 35902 You mean for fear of the police?"
35902You mean that there were diamond rings left on the hand when the body was placed in the coffin?
35902You mean that this man Morgan might have had a hand in that?
35902You mean that this woman was placed in the coffin clothed as she had died?
35902You say this was decided on the night before the funeral?
35902You say you have known this man Morgan for some time?
35902You were not in the breakfast- room at eight o''clock,said the detective, watching her closely;"where were you?"
35902You were the beggar?
35902You wish to make a search yourself, eh? 35902 You would not like to be obliged to prove where you were that night, would you?"
35902You?
35902Your beau?
35902Your face is very familiar to me,said Mr. Barnes;"have you ever met me before?"
35902Your husband?
35902Your name is Jack,said Mr. Barnes;"Jack what?"
35902''All''s well that ends well,''you know, and this case you say is ended?"
35902''And pray, then, why have you called?
35902''But, on the other hand, would it not be equally low for these ladies, your social equals, to stoop to petty theft?''
35902''If we set aside the kleptomania idea, why, then, do you imagine a rich woman would steal a thing of such little value?''
35902''Kleptomania?
35902''May I have a few minutes''conversation with you upon a trifling, yet quite puzzling matter?''
35902''No,''says I;''what do you think?''
35902''Of course,''says I;''where do you think I''d put it?''
35902''What do you mean to insinuate?''
35902''Why not?''
35902''With me, Juanita?''
35902A fellow ca n''t always account for what he thinks, can he?"
35902A mystery, and the great Mr. Barnes has not solved it?
35902After all, if this were the explanation, wherein lay the crime?
35902Ai n''t I been working with old Berial these three years?"
35902Am I correct?"
35902Am I not right?''
35902Am I right?"
35902And besides, how could you recover them?''
35902And could you find such a place?"
35902And that Amos, being the elder, had assumed the control of the funeral?
35902And then suppose that I admit that to thwart that, I removed the body myself?"
35902And what does he get out of it?
35902And what is this right?''
35902And what of the assertion made by Mr. Mitchel that a human body had been cremated?
35902And who had a greater right to possess her than myself?
35902And why is it impossible to give me the pearls?''
35902And you did not honor me this time by consulting me?"
35902And you did this?"
35902Answer me, is it true?
35902Anything stirring in the realm of crime?"
35902Anything turned up in the Quadrant case?"
35902Are you sure that the note was there?"
35902Are you sure you have made no mistake in this affair?"
35902Are you willing to help me?"
35902As my little wife, I mean?''
35902As my very own?
35902At the time I did n''t think much about it, but since then I have thought it over a good deal, and, do you know what I think now?''
35902At what time was it?"
35902Barnes?"
35902Barnes?"
35902Barnes?"
35902Barnes?"
35902Before I fully realized my position, I said to the clerk,''Why do you call me Remington?''
35902Berial?"
35902But about my case, Mr. Barnes; how long do you think it will take to restore my identity to me?
35902But after reading the truth, as here written, will you?"
35902But did you not say that there was another legend?"
35902But do you not see that you are really making possible the very danger of which I came to warn you?"
35902But how could they be sure?
35902But how do I know there''s been any murder?"
35902But how does that make the girl safe?"
35902But if so, what of the body that was really cremated?
35902But in a case like that you would think there was more than one of them screw- drivers, now, would n''t you?"
35902But it ai n''t right to cast suspicions when you ca n''t prove a thing, is it?"
35902But now you have Domingo on your hands?"
35902But once knowing it, what then of the body which is now ashes?"
35902But suppose that Mr. Odell had not burned that paper?
35902But tell me why did he risk bringing the real opal here at all?
35902But tell me, after learning the name of the woman how did you trace her to this city?"
35902But tell me, how was this trick played on us?
35902But then I have n''t spoken much to you, have I?''
35902But to convict him?
35902But to show you how little you can prove, suppose I ask you how you know that I had just come downstairs?
35902But what about that little business of the postage- stamp robbery out in Trenton?"
35902But what are you worrying over?
35902But what does that prove?"
35902But why could not some one have taken the body out after you closed the coffin finally, and before the hour of the funeral?"
35902But why had he gone out again?
35902But why should it be at my end, eh?
35902But you visited Mrs. Upton this morning, I believe?''
35902But, Mr. Barnes, how could one of the undertakers have made this exchange which you suggest?
35902By the way, I suppose you are pretty well acquainted around the neighborhood?"
35902By the way, did you get any trace of her?"
35902By what name would it be designated in the office of the district attorney?
35902By whom?"
35902By whom?"
35902Can I see him?"
35902Can not money be spent without limit?"
35902Can you do anything for me?''
35902Can you guess what I did next?"
35902Can you imagine my feelings this morning when the card was placed in my hand on which I found"30 minus 28 equals 2"?''
35902Can you not describe the one that was here last?"
35902Can you tell why he should have done so?
35902Charlie, you just keep an eye on things till I get back, will you?
35902Could any man rightly take her from me?
35902Could it be only a coincidence or was it really the solution of the mystery?
35902Could it be that the man at the Morgue had been he?
35902Could this be the London murderer?
35902Detective, I suppose?"
35902Did I not tell you that the affair ended?"
35902Did I not tell you that you are not in it?
35902Did I not tell you there were two women?
35902Did he have any others that you know of?"
35902Did he not even yield up his greatest family treasure, the pearls?
35902Did he remain downstairs all night?"
35902Did it follow, then, that Berial was the principal, or was he in turn but the tool of another?
35902Did n''t I put the body in the coffin myself?"
35902Did n''t you put that wagon in its right place when you brung it in that afternoon?''
35902Did the thief pay you a visit?"
35902Did you find it necessary to ask him how to find my offices?"
35902Did you go there?"
35902Did you know this?"
35902Did you not just now agree that it was obvious that he would continue his efforts to get the opal?
35902Did you not say that your sphinx maiden was absent?
35902Did you see her again?"
35902Did you?"
35902Did your brother Rufus have a scar on the sole of his foot?"
35902Different from common screws?"
35902Do dogs, then, have a language by which they may communicate with each other?
35902Do n''t you see that I had strong evidence against one of them?
35902Do n''t you see that when we catch him, he is apt to tell all that he knows?"
35902Do n''t you see we have you fast unless you can explain how you got the tickets?"
35902Do n''t you see?
35902Do we understand one another?"
35902Do you admit now that you had just come downstairs?"
35902Do you follow me?"
35902Do you know that much?"
35902Do you know that positively?"
35902Do you know that this fellow, Morgan, is a professional crook who has never been caught at his work before?"
35902Do you know what they discovered?"
35902Do you mean merely covered, or was the top screwed fast before you went out of the room, and, if so, by whom?"
35902Do you suppose I would make such a charge without knowing that I am in the right?
35902Do you suppose that I shall permit myself to be detected, arrested, imprisoned in this affair?
35902Do you think he will drop in to- day?"
35902Do you think you might be able to prevent it?''
35902Do you think, then, that the coffin was empty when they took it to the crematory?"
35902Do you understand me?
35902Does a love story, for example, begin with the birth of the lovers, with their meeting, with their love- making, or with their marriage?"
35902Does that mean that you too held the view that I merely pretend that the stud was lost?''
35902Does''Q''stand for Morgan?"
35902Explain things for me, will you?''
35902First, let me ask you, are you confident that you are selling me one of the genuine Aztec opals?"
35902For example, do you recall whether Mrs. Upton''s maid entered the room while you were there?''
35902For example, if you saw what could unmistakably be recognized as parts of corset steels, what would you think?"
35902For what can be worse misery than to be married and not mated?
35902For with such a pearl could he not woo and win one of the fairest daughters of his tribe?
35902For, had not Mark Quadrant told him that it was Amos who had insisted upon the cremation?
35902Forgery?"
35902From which it is a logical deduction that Mrs. G. does not and did not love Mr. L. Then why did she give him the opal?
35902Gentlemen, is it needful to disgrace that man, who really is a victim of circumstances rather than a wrong- doer?
35902Gray?"
35902Gray?''
35902Had anything happened?
35902Had he succeeded in obtaining it?
35902Had he too been drugged?
35902Has your clue led to any solution?"
35902Has your patron assisted you?
35902Have n''t you read the papers?
35902Have you any conception of the difficulties which harass a man of means?"
35902Have you any suspicion as to that man''s identity?"
35902Have you brought the opal?"
35902Have you had the Devil''s own luck, and solved this problem before I fairly got my wits upon it?
35902Have you learned that?"
35902Have you looked at the corpse at the Morgue?"
35902Have you seen this body at the Morgue?"
35902Have you the duplicate?
35902He asked:"Do you mind naming this man?"
35902He drew forth the bank- note from his pocket and handed it to Mr. Van Rawlston, who asked:"But why, then, did you try to buy the Bible?"
35902He looked blankly at Mr. Barnes a moment, then dropped into a chair with the query:"How in the name of conscience did you find that out?"
35902He said that, did he?
35902He studied the despatch silently for a full minute, and then, without raising his eyes, said:"What else?"
35902He wants the opal, and as that is, or rather has been until to- day, in the safety- vaults, how could he get it, even by killing me?"
35902He was interrupted by the undertaker, who again chuckled as he exclaimed:"Do n''t I?
35902How am I to know which to believe?''
35902How can they be appeased?"
35902How could I have escaped from it?
35902How could I warn her without myself learning who was with her?
35902How could a cowboy like myself be expected to evince any great interest in a baby?
35902How could he be sure that this detective was not trying to entrap him?
35902How could he know positively that he had not been accused by some pal who wished to shift responsibility from himself to another?
35902How could she wear jewelry?"
35902How did you discover that, since from your account you could hardly have seen her?''
35902How did you know that I had Mr. Moore watched, and only for two or three days?"
35902How did you register at the hotel?"
35902How do I know?
35902How do I know?
35902How do you know that he was the one that went off with old Berial when they left the house?"
35902How do you know that the body was in the coffin when it was consigned to the furnace?"
35902How do you suppose it can be explained?"
35902How do you suppose that was accomplished?"
35902How does that help you?"
35902How has he killed this man up here in a locked room, which has no window through which a bullet might be fired?"
35902How have you made this discovery?"
35902How is my guess?"
35902How much do I know?
35902How should I?
35902How so?"
35902How was Mr. Quadrant dressed when you placed him in the coffin?
35902How was it that the foot of the deceased Quadrant showed no scar?
35902How was it?"
35902How would that help matters?''
35902How, then, shall I know what to think?''
35902How, unless the poodle had taught him?
35902How?
35902How?"
35902I also reached that point, and then I asked myself,''How will he get it, knowing that I would not sell?''
35902I believe it has come back from the taxidermist''s?"
35902I suppose this bit of cloth and the hair satisfy you that the scoundrel really has her?"
35902I suppose you have looked about the room?"
35902I then sent for the thief, Mrs. Gray having told me his name; but would you not like to hear how I had picked him out before he went aboard?
35902I think I told you of my first venture?"
35902I think you mentioned his name?"
35902I think, Mr. Barnes, that I suggested such a possibility to you on the day when you first called my attention to this affair?"
35902IV THE MONTEZUMA EMERALD"Is the Inspector in?"
35902If Mr. Berial keeps that screw- driver always in his own possession, how could any one have a duplicate of it made?"
35902If an unknown body has been incinerated, how can we ever identify it?"
35902If he has done anything to White, he ought not to go free, ought he?
35902If he was made into ashes, would he turn up again a floater and drift onto the marble at the Morgue?
35902If so, he would use their wagon, would he not?"
35902If so, whose body was it that had been cremated, and how could identification be looked for among the ashes in the urn at the cemetery?
35902If so, why was he visiting that place to view the body of his victim?
35902If the owner elects to throw away or destroy his property, can we blame a man for appropriating the same?"
35902If this occurred as I have described, what would be the result?
35902If you do n''t want me, what do you want?"
35902If, however, I get your daughter, and save you the necessity of paying any ransom at all, I suppose you will admit that I have earned my reward?"
35902Impatient to have his hopes confirmed, he exclaimed at once:"Am I right?
35902In either case, do you suppose I would give you any information on such a point?"
35902In this case, as I understand it, there is something peculiar about the body, a mark of disease called lichen, I believe?"
35902Instead of answering the question, he asked suddenly:"Mr. Mitchel, will you permit me to examine that watch- chain which you are wearing?"
35902Is it in the sale to- day?
35902Is it not evident to you that I know all the details of this affair?''
35902Is it not your business to attend her in the morning?"
35902Is it true, I say?
35902Is n''t it odd that he should have disappeared?"
35902Is not that droll?"
35902Is not that fairly good evidence?"
35902Is that of such a nature that you can be absolutely certain in your opinion?"
35902Is that the idea?"
35902Is this true?"
35902It was he who supplied the morphine powders, then?"
35902It''s this way: Morgan''s an old- time crook-- I suppose you know that?"
35902Lastly, you have discovered Pedro Domingo, and----""In Heaven''s name, Mr. Mitchel, how do you know all this?"
35902Later, I received the letter which was found on the body now at the Morgue, and which I suppose you have read?"
35902Let me see, where shall I begin?"
35902Lucette?"
35902M.''is a he?
35902Might perhaps come into contact with a watch- chain and tear it off, or break it?"
35902Money, eh?
35902More Mexicans?"
35902Morgan is n''t any pal of yours, is he?"
35902Mr. Barnes wondered why?
35902Mr. Mitchel continued:"Will you never learn that my weakness is for antagonizing detectives?
35902Mr. Mitchel put down the last page of the statement, and, turning to Mr. Barnes, he said:"And you say you have thwarted this man''s purpose?"
35902Never thought your friend Morgan or Morton, who works out by the day, and brought valuable diamonds to pawn, would do such a thing, did you?
35902Nothing serious I hope?"
35902Now I will explain to you what I wish you to do, if I may count on you?"
35902Now can you explain how you could have known that, supposing that you had forgotten who you were?"
35902Now tell me, will you, how could this man be cremated, as I tell you he was, and then turn up in the river?
35902Now we come to the question, which of the brothers did this?"
35902Now what do you make of it?
35902Now what do you think?"
35902Now who moved it?''
35902Now why did he wish to gratify her?
35902Now why did you not acknowledge that you knew me when I first came in?"
35902Now, can you remember whether either of the gentlemen sat up with the corpse that night?"
35902Now, can you tell me this man''s name?
35902Now, then, do you remember your master''s death?"
35902Now, what do you know?"
35902Now, where is Tommy White?"
35902Now, you would n''t want to claim that the young person come out of that patent box and give that diamond away in the night, would you?
35902Odd?
35902Of that you are sure?''
35902Of what avail?
35902Of what disease did Mr. Quadrant die?"
35902On page 226, a single quotation mark was added after"Why have you done it?".
35902Perhaps it was then that the body was taken away?"
35902Perhaps you have heard the name?"
35902Quadrant?"
35902Query, how can a man''s body be cremated, and then be found whole in the river subsequently?
35902Quite sure?"
35902Remington?"
35902Shall I read it to you?
35902So he''s chucked it, has he?
35902So how could she know anything about it?
35902So much is apparent, but you say the body at the Morgue is another, and I ask you, which other?"
35902So she accuses me of being a thief, does she?
35902So that''s ended, ai n''t it?"
35902So, as I said before, what''s the use of courtin''trouble?"
35902Steal that opal from you, while you are present to see the deed committed?
35902Suppose I can supply you with another motive, one not at all connected with murder?"
35902Surely not theft?"
35902Surprises you, do n''t it?
35902Tell me that, will you?
35902Tell me, are you sure that White disappeared first, and that the girl was here afterwards, but that she has not been seen since Morgan went away?"
35902That is, before you left the room?"
35902That is, that the coffin was not again to be opened?"
35902That it involved his having an accomplice in this Carl Grasse?
35902That same night, quite unexpected, the master says to me, says he,''Williams, I think you have a young woman you''re sweet on down at Newport?''
35902That seems strange, does it not?
35902That story about old Quadrant floatin''back was in the papers to- day, was n''t it?"
35902That the hands should grasp and rend the clothing?
35902That the mourners had seen the coffin containing the body placed in the furnace, and had waited patiently during the incineration?
35902That to your skill I have intrusted all of that work which I knew you could do so well?
35902That you went so far as to invent cables and letters from Paris just for the trifling amusement of making a fool of me?"
35902That''s the story Jimmy tells, Mr. Barnes, and it''s a corker, ai n''t it?"
35902The diamond''s gone, just the same, ai n''t it?
35902The last to leave the house, I mean?"
35902The man jumped up and called after her:"''What if I should refuse?''
35902The question remaining is, what claim has Justice upon the doctor?
35902Then he asked:"What makes you think so?"
35902Then he said:"Randal?
35902Then one of the undertaker''s men was left alone with the body?"
35902Then she did not of her own thought send for you?"
35902Then suddenly seeing that he was making a mistake and incriminating himself, he exclaimed,''Who the devil are you?''
35902Then why had it been done in this instance?
35902Then why not tell me what you know?
35902Then you have seen him?"
35902Then you think there are two in it?"
35902Then, as she turned to go, I asked her:"''Why did you choose the costume of the Sphinx for the ball?''
35902There''s just as much chance for a mistake at the Morgue as at the funeral, is n''t there?"
35902This being so obvious, did you imagine that it had escaped me?"
35902This seemed not improbable, for if the man harbored any ill- will, why had he not sought me out before?''
35902This time what she heard brought her happiness, for did he not give up the other woman for her?
35902Thought he bought these things out of his wages, eh?"
35902To fully explain this I must tell you something of the disease itself, if you will not be bored?"
35902Want to bet on that?
35902Was Amos Quadrant of this noble mould?
35902Was he not well enough paid?"
35902Was it not?''
35902Was she ill, or dead?
35902Was she not mine then, and thenceforward forever?
35902Was this disappearance a new riddle for Mr. Barnes to solve?
35902Was this the suspected Mexican?
35902We may philosophize a little and ask what it is that we mean, when we speak of''fate''?
35902Well, Mr. Barnes, who stole the opal?"
35902Well, when you discovered that you could not find the note, who spoke first, and what comment was made?"
35902Were we not together daily, riding side by side, often alone with God and Nature for hours together?
35902West?"
35902West?"
35902What are they?"
35902What can it be?''
35902What can you do?''
35902What could there be in it?"
35902What did Domingo say to that?"
35902What did the family see at the crematory?
35902What disease was this, and was it the same as that which caused the death of Mr. Quadrant?
35902What do you mean?''
35902What do you mean?''
35902What do you think of it?''
35902What do you think of that?"
35902What do you think?
35902What do you think?"
35902What do you think?"
35902What do you think?"
35902What else does the fellow admit?"
35902What else?"
35902What have you done?"
35902What if she did not love me in return?
35902What is his name?"
35902What is it?''
35902What more natural than my taking an interest in property so near me?
35902What more natural than that the arms of the dying woman should be wrapped about the body of her assailant?
35902What more natural than that these initials represented the true name?
35902What of it?
35902What of it?"
35902What of the Phoenix?"
35902What opportunity, if any, was there that this substitution may have occurred at the crematory?"
35902What other woman would do such a thing as to steal a string of pearls from a woman''s very person?''
35902What other woman, I mean?"
35902What other?"
35902What shall it be?"
35902What style did he choose?"
35902What was that?"
35902What would he do?''
35902What would you say?"
35902What, then, could be your purpose in pretending otherwise?
35902What, then, is his final answer?"
35902Where did you find it?"
35902Where do I come in?"
35902Where else?"
35902Where was I?''
35902Where were you?"
35902Who are you, anyway, and what are you after?"
35902Who did it?"
35902Who else could steal the pearls?
35902Who ever altered what was fated to be?
35902Who is she?
35902Who is the person to be murdered?''
35902Who should know if I do n''t?
35902Who was the man?"
35902Who would accept such an offering as this and betray the confidence of his host?"
35902Why could n''t our friend, Mr. Mark, have got up this scheme to stop the cremation?"
35902Why could you not have waited to see one of us?"
35902Why did Mr. Livingstone steal it?"
35902Why does the bird go to the snake that devours it?
35902Why have you done it?''"
35902Why may I not have visited the houses to examine them?
35902Why may it not be that I had been out of the house, and had just come in again when your informant saw me?"
35902Why mince matters?
35902Why need she be wicked, to have a secret?
35902Why not by one of these men?
35902Why not offer you one of the doublets, and then merely have one exchange to make?"
35902Why not?
35902Why should I?"
35902Why was that?"
35902Why, Mr. Barnes, have you not had evidence of my ability to thwart detectives before to- day?
35902Why, ai n''t that my business?
35902Why, how could he have managed it?"
35902Why, of course, my friend; did you suppose that I doubted your good intent, merely because I spoke brusquely?"
35902Why, what is the matter, man?
35902Why?
35902Why?"
35902Will that suit you?"
35902Will you allow me to speak to you a moment?''
35902Will you give me your closest attention?"
35902Will you tell me on what grounds you exculpate me?"
35902Will you tell me why you came down?"
35902Will you?"
35902With the casket closed, I presume you did not consider it necessary to have the usual watchers?"
35902With the usual style of screws?"
35902With whom else?''
35902Wood?"
35902Would it not be an achievement to prove that incineration is not necessarily a barrier against identification?"
35902Would it not?"
35902Would you like to go with me?
35902Would you mind explaining why you began your collection?"
35902Yet how could he be sure of that?
35902Yet how could he hope to explain their absence to Mr. Mitchel?
35902You are sure his name is Morgan?
35902You are willing to help me find your mistress, are you not?"
35902You ask me that?
35902You did not see him vanish, eh?"
35902You do not stand in with murder, do you?"
35902You have discovered-- what?
35902You have him shadowed?"
35902You have looked into the matter, eh?
35902You have seen her, have you?"
35902You have succeeded?"
35902You insinuate that I am in this conspiracy?"
35902You know him?"
35902You know that, and yet can not find it?"
35902You left your brother Mark down here?"
35902You let them in and saw them?"
35902You obtained those pearls to- night, and----''"''How do you know that?''
35902You remember after one of the quadrilles passing a girl and saying,"That girl is a sphinx"?''
35902You thought that was my corpse which you gazed upon at the Morgue?"
35902You told her to seek a position in the house, and what does she do?
35902You told me about the loss of those rings?"
35902You were on intimate terms with Domingo?"
35902You will agree that the note was either mislaid or stolen?"
35902You will ask how I guessed this at once?
35902You wish me to teach you tricks in your own trade, eh?
35902You wish to be released?
35902You''d think bein''a woman she''d cry and make a fuss?
35902Your business is to detect crimes after they have been committed, is it not?''
35902if we did not, who knows where we would end?
35902she cried, with such ferocity that the girl beside me moved closer to me as though seeking protection;''you are sure of that?
35902what the devil are you asking me all these questions for?
43582''Who''s afraid of the big, bad wolf?''
43582A ghost?
43582About fifty yards back, you say? 43582 Abraham Lincoln Jones''s family?"
43582Abraham Lincoln Jones? 43582 Ai n''t Elsie with you?"
43582And ai n''t Miss Jane comin''?
43582And did n''t you ever go to school?
43582And had she kidnaped Elsie too?
43582And has n''t she come back all morning?
43582And have her half kill me for doin''it? 43582 And how about Hannah?
43582And is this Elsie?
43582And what business is that of your''n?
43582And what do you think that is, Mary Lou?
43582And where is Elsie?
43582And your aunt refused?
43582And, by the way, where is the box of gold pieces you stole from Miss Grant?
43582And-- all about it?
43582And-- and-- can you remember what Miss Pearson wore?
43582Any more chickens stolen?
43582Any news?
43582Any news?
43582Are these the girls Mother says I took for a ride last night?
43582Are you afraid of the storm?
43582Are you going to stay home now and leave Elsie all alone?
43582Are you tired?
43582Because, what would they do with it? 43582 Better wait and find out whether she really is rich, had n''t you?"
43582But how do you think Harry could have stolen the money if your aunt Mattie was with him all the time?
43582But how will that help us to find out whether he is the thief?
43582But should n''t I go over to see her?
43582But suppose we were arrested for prowling?
43582But surely you do n''t believe Elsie stole that money?
43582But there is n''t anything valuable for anybody to steal now, is there, Miss Grant?
43582But what good would it do us to ride with him?
43582But when did you come to them?
43582But where''s Elsie?
43582But why is that?
43582But why would he do that? 43582 But you came upon the gypsies before you got to any town?"
43582By herself, I mean?
43582By whom?
43582Can I drive you over, Aunt Mattie?
43582Can I go with you, Sis?
43582Change of costume?
43582Chickens?
43582Could he have stolen the money?
43582Could n''t he have entered before your aunt went to bed?
43582Could n''t somebody have climbed in over the porch roof while the family were eating in the dining room?
43582Could you possibly read me the number engraved on it?
43582Daddy is n''t home yet?
43582Daddy, do you think Elsie is guilty?
43582Did anything else happen yesterday?
43582Did he go right out when he came downstairs?
43582Did it have anything valuable in it?
43582Did n''t she tell you about what happened last night?
43582Did she call them?
43582Did she say you''d marry a tall, good- looking fellow, with lots of personality?
43582Did she take the rest of the money?
43582Did they steal the chickens?
43582Did you have any trouble getting away, Jane? 43582 Did you hear any of those queer noises-- I mean the kind you heard before, when you thought somebody searched that old trunk in the attic?"
43582Did you keep it yourselves?
43582Did you know she kept money and jewels in her house?
43582Did you see the girl then?
43582Did you tell her about the necklace?
43582Did you tell her then?
43582Do n''t I look nice, Hannah?
43582Do n''t the servants sleep there too?
43582Do n''t you expect to be home in time for supper?
43582Do n''t you go to school?
43582Do n''t you realize that today is the picnic?
43582Do n''t you think I better go into the house and light the lamps for you?
43582Do we all go in in a bunch?
43582Do you children know Miss Elsie Grant?
43582Do you feel equal to hearing it?
43582Do you know how much was taken?
43582Do you know where these people live?
43582Do you like her?
43582Do you mean Elsie?
43582Do you remember what kind of jewelry she had on? 43582 Do you think she could have been kidnaped, Daddy?"
43582Do you want to see William about your cow and your garden?
43582Do you want to stop for one?
43582Does n''t she ever spend any?
43582Does n''t this girl go to high school?
43582Does she know I did n''t steal the money or the necklace?
43582Does this safe have a combination lock?
43582Elsie did n''t come back, did she, William?
43582For how long?
43582Forgot all about that tennis date we had, did n''t you?
43582Fortune?
43582Fortunes?
43582Giving_ you_ the air? 43582 Gold pieces?
43582Got your flashlight, Mary Lou?
43582Got your swimming suit, Mary Lou?
43582Had n''t we better all go-- till Aunt Mattie gets back from the hospital? 43582 Had n''t we better get out a searching party, dear, immediately?
43582Harrisburg?
43582Has anybody been here?
43582Has everybody some money-- in silver?
43582Has she consented?
43582Has that been taken too?
43582Have him arrested?
43582Have n''t you been up in Miss Grant''s room?
43582Have you any plan at all?
43582Have you made out who the people are on the porch?
43582Have you seen a young girl anywhere around here-- or in the woods?
43582Have you seen any gypsies around?
43582He''s your aunt Grace''s oldest son?
43582Honestly? 43582 Honestly?"
43582How about eating some of those sandwiches your mother packed for us?
43582How about supper time?
43582How about the Pearsons?
43582How could she take a train? 43582 How could we?"
43582How did she find out about them?
43582How did you get the safe open?
43582How do we sleep tonight?
43582How do you know she did n''t do it?
43582How do you suppose she knew that I lived there?
43582How does Hannah account for it? 43582 How is your kitten today?"
43582How long do you think four hundred dollars would keep us?
43582How much?
43582How old are they?
43582I can hardly believe it.... You checked up with the bus companies as well as the railroads?... 43582 I have a lot of clothes, have n''t I, Mother?"
43582I know the place.... You do n''t live there?
43582I mean, after Harry went home?
43582I mean, all the living relatives of Miss Mattie Grant?
43582I mean-- when it is n''t vacation time?
43582If you see Elsie, will you tell her to come to our house? 43582 In the old witch''s bed?
43582Is Hannah still here?
43582Is he here often?
43582Is he home?
43582Is n''t Miss Grant supposed to be rich?
43582Is that a nice way to treat a couple of splendid fellows like ourselves?
43582Is that everybody?
43582Is that so?
43582Is that what your aunt did?
43582Is this Mr. John Grant?
43582Is this the Bon Ton Boot Shop? 43582 Is this where you were last night?"
43582Is this your kitten?
43582It is n''t true, is it, dear?
43582It is terribly hot, is n''t it?
43582It''s naturally curly, is n''t it? 43582 Just getting up, eh?"
43582Lem''me see.... Las''night was Sattiday, was n''t it? 43582 Mary Lou, are you expecting any trouble from these gypsies?"
43582May I go?
43582May I say something?
43582May I stay here till the storm is over?
43582May I use your telephone?
43582May we see Miss Grant, Hannah?
43582May we see inside the closet before we go?
43582Miss Matilda Grant is your aunt, I suppose, Miss----?
43582Miss Mattie''s?
43582Money? 43582 Mr. John Grant told you about my awful experience on Saturday night, did n''t he?"
43582Must you go, dear? 43582 My daughter?
43582My sister- in- law? 43582 Not Miss Grant''s bonds?"
43582Not really?
43582Nothing to do?
43582Now what can Max want at this time of night?
43582O.K.... Well, can you go?
43582Oh, what could we do?
43582Old Mrs. Grant''s ghost?
43582Only I thought, of course, that she already had.... Shall I try my luck next, or will one of you girls go?
43582Or do we cook our own supper?
43582Or shall we?
43582Perhaps you can tell me who took them?
43582Picnic? 43582 Quite a nice ride after all, is n''t it?"
43582Really? 43582 Really?"
43582Remember that?
43582Robbed?
43582Scream?
43582Sez you?
43582Shall I tell you the story now-- about the necklace?
43582Shall we use some of this money for carfare?
43582Since you know about the chickens being stolen, Mrs. Jones, did you happen to hear anything unusual last night at Dark Cedars?
43582Snooping? 43582 So you did take in a fifty- dollar bill?"
43582So, if he took the money, he must have had it in his pocket all this time? 43582 Still acting the detective?"
43582Still have the money?
43582Suppose I go up to the attic and sleep with Elsie?
43582Suppose he does n''t want the police notified that Elsie is missing?
43582Suppose he locked us in?
43582Suppose she accuses your husband?
43582That''s what I think,agreed Mary Louise...."What are you going to do now?"
43582The Grants and the Pearsons, I mean?
43582The boys are willing, are n''t you?
43582The lock was broken?
43582The one she lost, you remember? 43582 Then how can I help you?"
43582Then may I bring Elsie Grant home with me while her aunt is in the hospital?
43582Then something does happen after dark?
43582Then what happened?
43582Then who did?
43582Then whom else do you suspect, Daddy?
43582Then why not let the boys drive us up?
43582Then why two suits?
43582Then your aunt Grace is n''t your aunt Mattie''s real sister?
43582Walk again?
43582Was n''t anything stolen?
43582Was n''t the shock too much for her? 43582 Was that the only time anything like that ever happened?"
43582Was the spirits here again?
43582Was your aunt Grace in the bedroom at all during the afternoon?
43582We''d love to, but do n''t you think we ought to take Miss Grant''s money back to her?
43582Well, it was worth it, was n''t it? 43582 Well-- er-- you went to that dance last night, did n''t you, with the Country Club people?
43582Were any of you here yesterday morning?
43582What are the Pearsons like?
43582What are you going to do to him, Mattie?
43582What are you gossiping about, Hannah? 43582 What are you standing there talking about, Elsie?
43582What did he want yesterday?
43582What did you do?
43582What do you make of that, Mary Lou?
43582What do you say, Mary Lou?
43582What else did you learn this afternoon?
43582What family?
43582What ghosts?
43582What girl?
43582What happened?
43582What happened?
43582What in the world happened?
43582What is it, Miss Grant?
43582What mischief are you two up to now?
43582What money?
43582What next?
43582What next?
43582What proof have you, Mattie?
43582What ruby necklace?
43582What shall we do, Daddy?
43582What time is it?
43582What time was that?
43582What will be done with her when they do find her?
43582What''s happened to this bed?
43582What''s he like?
43582What''s her name?
43582What''s the best way to Coopersburg?
43582What''s the idea, sneaking in like a ghost?
43582What''s the matter, Elsie?
43582What''s this I hear?
43582Whatever would you do?
43582When can we see your aunt?
43582When did she miss this money?
43582When do we visit these gypsies you were talking about, Max?
43582Where are you going? 43582 Where did you get them clothes, Elsie?"
43582Where have you been, Sis?
43582Where have you two been?
43582Where is Elsie?
43582Where is Miss Grant''s necklace?
43582Where were you, Elsie?
43582Where''s the other fifty?
43582Where?
43582Which are most likely to have heard about the necklace? 43582 Who do you think could have taken it?"
43582Who is she?
43582Who was the thief?
43582Why did n''t you take Silky with you? 43582 Why do n''t you run away, now that you have some decent clothes?"
43582Why do n''t you sleep on the second floor too?
43582Why do you say that?
43582Why do you want to find the gypsies, Mary Lou?
43582Why?
43582Why?
43582Why?
43582Will she be sent to prison if she is proved guilty?
43582Will you come over here and talk to me a little while?
43582Will you do something for me?
43582Will you do this for me, Daddy?
43582Will you keep it out of the bank for an hour or two-- in case we want to identify it-- for a certain purpose?
43582Will you tell her what happened last night?
43582Would he steal chickens?
43582Would you tell us just how much money was taken, Miss Grant?
43582Yes, that was wise, Miss Grant.... Now, may I write down the numbers of the bills that were stolen?
43582You ai n''t a- goin''a walk, Miss Mattie?
43582You are very fond of Elsie, are n''t you, Daughter?
43582You did n''t expect to do it, did you?
43582You did n''t hear about the robbery?
43582You did n''t know we were coming for a visit, did you, Elsie?
43582You did n''t mind, did you, Miss Grant?
43582You did n''t obey her, did you?
43582You did n''t see a girl about fifteen years old in a green silk dress, did you, children?
43582You did n''t show them to her, did you?
43582You did n''t tell your mother that?
43582You did n''t, did you, Corinne?
43582You do n''t believe that stuff, do you?
43582You do n''t mean to tell me you three girls will be here alone every night?
43582You do n''t mean----?
43582You do n''t mind if we try, do you, Miss Grant-- if it''s all on the quiet?
43582You do n''t mind, do you? 43582 You do n''t really believe there is anything, do you, Mary Lou?"
43582You do n''t think I did that fiendish thing, do you, Mary Louise?
43582You do n''t think that''s important?
43582You do n''t think we could tell our secrets in front of the whole bunch, do you?
43582You do n''t think we''ll be cold?
43582You have n''t found it for me yet, have you, Mary Louise?
43582You have the gold?
43582You know who has been taking them?
43582You mean Corinne Pearson?
43582You mean you want to ask me questions?
43582You mean you''re sorrier for me than for yourself-- about losing the necklace?
43582You really mean that?
43582You really want me?
43582You surely have n''t any of the gold, have you, Harry?
43582You suspect somebody definitely?
43582You think maybe I done it?
43582You think we kept that, do n''t you, Miss Grant?
43582You were able to see her, then?
43582You were?
43582You wo n''t do anything to Corinne, will you, Aunt Mattie?
43582You''ll come, Jane?
43582You''re a society reporter on the_ Star_--aren''t you? 43582 You''re all right?"
43582You''re not fooling me?
43582You''re not going to the police and tell what you know? 43582 You''ve been reading_ Jane Eyre_, have n''t you, Jane?
43582You- all want to see Ma?
43582Your father?
43582And how could he have gotten away so quickly?
43582And how she sneaked in there night before last, scaring us so?
43582And saw the way things were upset?"
43582And shall I take the key, or will William want to keep it?"
43582And to whom?"
43582And was n''t she just furious at me?"
43582And what do you think I saw?"
43582And what would become of the cow?"
43582And will you do the same with your mother?"
43582And will you drive us as far as Dark Cedars and bring the car back?"
43582Are n''t I as pretty and as important as Corinne Pearson?"
43582Because, where would he get the money unless he stole his aunt''s?"
43582Besides, what do you know about Elsie Grant?
43582But did this colored woman hear them last night-- the gypsies, I mean?"
43582But if she was going to steal, why did she do it at night, when we were there?
43582But if the burglars did n''t take anything, they wo n''t be likely to return, will they?"
43582But what do you think, Daddy?"
43582But what''s the use of good victuals if you''re half scared of your life all the time?
43582But when was she robbed?"
43582But would n''t Elsie have heard her?"
43582By the way, did she think you two were engaged?"
43582CHAPTER XII_ Bound and Gagged_"How was your fortune, Mary Louise?"
43582Can we stay here until a bus comes along-- they do run along here, do n''t they?"
43582Can you tell me whether you took in a fifty- dollar bill yesterday from any of your customers?"
43582Come in-- or shall I come out on the porch?"
43582Corinne shrugged her shoulders and looked imploringly at her mother, as if to say,"Ca n''t something be done with that crazy woman?"
43582Could they know about the necklace, Mr. Grant, do you suppose?"
43582Did Jane tell you about Miss Grant?"
43582Did Miss Grant believe in Hannah''s theory about the ghosts?
43582Did anything happen up there?
43582Did he have a brown satchel with him?"
43582Did n''t you say that the hand that touched you was thin?"
43582Did you ever see her?"
43582Did you find Elsie?"
43582Did you learn her whereabouts last night?"
43582Did you lose the bonds too, Aunt Mattie?"
43582Do n''t you remember?"
43582Do n''t you think we can, John?"
43582Do n''t you want to come along too, Elsie?"
43582Do you remember how pleased she was that I was n''t going to sleep with you in Miss Mattie''s room?
43582Do you want to hear them?"
43582Does it suit you, Elsie?"
43582Finally she said,"You heard about last night from Hannah?
43582Gay who put the question that was trembling on Mary Louise''s lips:"Does she think her niece-- Elsie Grant, I mean-- stole the necklace?"
43582Grant?"
43582Grant?"
43582Grant?"
43582Had n''t she claimed that she had done the house- cleaning for forty years at Dark Cedars?
43582Had the girl come here to get revenge on Mary Louise for disclosing her guilt, and was she tearing her clothes to pieces?
43582Harrisburg?"
43582Have n''t you ever heard of the Grants in Riverside?
43582Have you ever seen Corinne Pearson?"
43582Have you found my money?"
43582He did n''t go upstairs again?"
43582How could Corinne be the cause of your bad health, Aunt Mattie?
43582How did you get it if you did n''t steal it out of my safe?"
43582How old are you?"
43582How?"
43582I always did suspect her.... And has she the other fifty dollars?"
43582I believe she attended that little private school, and now she goes around with the Country Club set, does n''t she?"
43582I do n''t want to drag the Grant name into the papers if I can help it.... Is he home?"
43582I hope we find out.... By the way,"she added,"you could n''t tell me just how much was taken, could you, Hannah?"
43582I mean, without giving any explanation?"
43582I suppose you are planning to go over to the hospital to see Miss Grant?"
43582If it was burglars, why was n''t somethin''stolen?"
43582If that had been a burglar, why would n''t Silky have barked when he was getting into the house?
43582In what way?"
43582Is n''t it all right if I promise to go to bed very early?"
43582Is that why you ask?"
43582Jane and I will do all we can to help you, wo n''t we, Jane?"
43582Jones?"
43582Jones?"
43582May I?"
43582Mo''chickens took?"
43582Mrs. Grace Grant-- a woman about my age?
43582Mrs. Jones saw the gypsies stealing the chickens.... Well, did they give you some supper?"
43582My money?"
43582No, I was in bed asleep, and we neve''wakened up at all.... Why?
43582No, ma''am, it ai n''t nateral what''s goin''on here, and William and I are movin''out----""What''s this?
43582Now, wo n''t that be fun?"
43582Now-- don''t you want to go in and try them on?"
43582Or does she think, like your aunt, that you did it?"
43582Or to some detective?"
43582Remember?
43582She ai n''t lost, am she?"
43582She always says she is leaving him all her money in her will-- so why would he bother to steal it?"
43582She asked,"Did the girl like the clothes, dear?"
43582She cleared her throat: why could n''t the old lady help her out by asking her a question about the clothing?
43582The girl nodded obediently, but before she disappeared she softly asked Mary Louise,"Will you and Jane be back again tomorrow?"
43582The girls who rescued Aunt Mattie''s kitten-- remember?
43582Then, if it was a woman in Miss Grant''s family, how many possible suspects have you?"
43582Then, of Hannah, she inquired,"How soon do we have breakfast?"
43582Understand?
43582Want to come along, Jane?"
43582Was Corinne Pearson there?"
43582Was dere real stones in it-- genu- ine?"
43582Was n''t there anything else in the house missing?"
43582Well, you do n''t believe any longer that she''s innocent, do you, Mary Louise?"
43582What color?"
43582What could Miss Grant possibly own, Hannah, that she''s afraid of losing?"
43582What in the world would she do to pass the time until her father came for her at five o''clock?
43582What room are you going to sleep in-- Hannah''s or Aunt Mattie''s-- or up in the attic with me?"
43582What time did the dance begin?"
43582What was it?"
43582What would be the use of telling him about her interview with Mrs. Jones, or the establishment of Hannah Groben''s alibi?
43582What''s the matter with them?"
43582What''s the matter with you?
43582What''s this?"
43582What''s this?"
43582What?
43582Where is it?"
43582Where is it?"
43582Where is my money?"
43582Where''s your hand, Mary Lou?"
43582Where?
43582Who could it have been?"
43582Why did n''t you wait for me?"
43582Why would n''t Elsie have heard him, if she was down in the kitchen, as she said?
43582Why would n''t he finish the job and leave before we came back?"
43582Why you ask, Honey?
43582Why, only two nights ago----""What''s this?
43582Why?"
43582Will you teach her, Max?"
43582Would any of youse people report me if I let this here lady''s dog in the bus?"
43582Would n''t she?"
43582Would n''t your mother let me stay at your house if I worked for my board?"
43582Would you like to copy them down, Mary Louise?"
43582Yes?
43582You a friend o''hers?"
43582You believe that your intruder was a woman, do n''t you?
43582You can keep your eye open for trouble at night-- and let me know if anything happens.... Will you do it, Mary Louise?"
43582You''ve heard of him?"
43351A hat- pin? 43351 A long time ago?"
43351A perfect alibi?
43351All right,agreed Lawrence,"but how shall we set about it?
43351And after the matinà © e you drove home with Miss Waring?
43351And after you yourself retired, did you hear anything in the night-- any noise, that might have seemed unusual?
43351And afterwards----?
43351And are you prepared to affirm that it is part of a hat- pin, and not a complete pin of a shorter length?
43351And did you pin them on your gown?
43351And did you see a large roll of bills in it?
43351And did your walking about the streets bring you anywhere near this locality?
43351And do n''t you want everything found out?
43351And he refused her?
43351And he vented it on innocent Miss Pembroke?
43351And it was this stab of a pin that caused death?
43351And other men came in after Mr. Lawrence did that night?
43351And shall you want to interview Miss Pembroke?
43351And she?
43351And the handkerchief?
43351And then where did you go?
43351And then?
43351And then?
43351And was the time- table smudged with dirt, and perhaps bearing an impress of tiny dots in regular rows?
43351And what did you do with the pin?
43351And when you went to bed you put out the lights for the night?
43351And where were you last night, George?
43351And why not, pray?
43351And you consider that that letter throws light on the subject?
43351And you know of no questionable person who entered the house last night?
43351And you lost it?
43351And you thought him ill?
43351And you''ve already fallen in love? 43351 And your own home is in Sixty- second Street?"
43351Are you my friend?
43351Are you sure of that?
43351Are you sure, Miss Pembroke that you do not know the name of the man for whom your uncle intended the money?
43351At what hour did you rise?
43351At what hour was this?
43351At what time did he leave?
43351At what time was it?
43351At what time?
43351Be seated, Mr. Landon,he said, pleasantly;"what can I do for you?"
43351Beginning in the morning?
43351But aside from relatives, Miss Pembroke,I said,"is there no one else who ought to be notified?
43351But how could any one get in at a window?
43351But if your Uncle received a telegram, bidding him expect a caller last evening, would you not be likely to know about it?
43351But is n''t there a law or something,asked Laura,"that people are not obliged to say anything that may incriminate themselves?"
43351But then, dear, how can you be freed from suspicion? 43351 But try to think, Mr. Gresham,"I said, more gently;"were you here at this club?"
43351But what will he do?
43351But you are not guilty?
43351But you ca n''t doubt it now, can you?
43351But you had asked him for a large sum of money?
43351But you were about to say something?
43351But you will leave my key with me?
43351But, as you wanted the money to give to Mr. Leroy, and did n''t want to marry him, your uncle''s proposition did n''t please you?
43351By the way, of course no suspicion could be attached to Leroy?
43351Ca n''t you suggest any explanation?
43351Can you tell us anything regarding a large sum of money which it is assumed Mr. Pembroke had in his possession the night he was killed?
43351Can you think of any servant who has lived with him who might be implicated in this crime?
43351Charlotte,she said suddenly,"why do you stay here?
43351Clue to what?
43351Could n''t he see for himself?
43351Could not the head have been broken off after the pin was used to commit the murder?
43351Did Robert Pembroke have any enemy that you know of?
43351Did he ever offer you personal violence?
43351Did he often do this?
43351Did he tell you,he asked,"the nature of this alibi?"
43351Did it turn out that way?
43351Did she say so?
43351Did you do so?
43351Did you go anywhere on your way to and from the theatre?
43351Did you go directly from your home to the station?
43351Did you know him?
43351Did you see the pin that was extracted from the wound?
43351Did you see your uncle in his own room?
43351Did you then prepare breakfast?
43351Did you touch the body?
43351Did you want that much?
43351Did your Uncle show anger with you for any other cause?
43351Do you know Graham Leroy?
43351Do you know Jonathan Scudder?
43351Do you know anything about this?
43351Do you know anything concerning this money?
43351Do you know anything concerning this money?
43351Do you know the contents of your uncle''s will?
43351Do you know the name of this man?
43351Do you know this young lady?
43351Do you know who J. S. may be?
43351Do you mean Mr. Graham Leroy?
43351Do you mean,asked Janet in her calm way,"that I''m under arrest?"
43351Do you mind that I want you to myself?
43351Do you really?
43351Do you recognize those initials, Miss Pembroke?
43351Do you refer to money for household expenses or for your personal use?
43351Do you remember,he said,"that Mr. Lawrence came in here last Wednesday night?"
43351Especially so?
43351Fleming Stone? 43351 Gee, is he?
43351Go on,said Mr. Ross,"what do you suspect?"
43351H''m, local trains on the Lackawanna,he murmured, as he glanced at it;"Miss Pembroke, is this likely to have belonged to your uncle?"
43351Had the bed been turned down for the night, when you were in Mr. Pembroke''s room on Tuesday evening?
43351Had you missed it?
43351Had your Uncle any enemies that you know of?
43351Have you any other clues other than those you have told me?
43351Have you any suspicions?
43351Have you been with this household long?
43351Have you questioned Charlotte at all?
43351Have you traced these to their sources?
43351He always saw these visitors?
43351He always treated them politely?
43351He had asked you to do this?
43351He had callers occasionally?
43351He had no ailments or symptoms that would make his sudden death probable?
43351He paid you?
43351He rang the bell?
43351He said he would give it to you, and more too, if you would marry Mr. Leroy, did n''t he?
43351He wants me?
43351He was not a poor man?
43351He was not even kindly- spoken to his niece, then?
43351Heart disease?
43351House sold out, I suppose?
43351How can you fix the time so exactly, my boy?
43351How could Robert Pembroke have come into possession of that key?
43351How could he get in?
43351How did I get in?
43351How did he get in? 43351 How do you know Charlotte did not?"
43351How do you know I''m not the real criminal?
43351How do you know that?
43351How do you know the time so accurately?
43351How do you know the time so exactly?
43351How do you know you reached this house at exactly 11.25?
43351How do you know?
43351How long have you had Robert Pembroke as a tenant?
43351How long was it?
43351How would you advise trying to find this man?
43351How, then, did it happen in this instance?
43351I ask,I said, in low even tones,"that you will tell me frankly why you made no mention of the letter from Jonathan Scudder?"
43351I do n''t suppose you could tell me who bought seats one and three in row G, that night?
43351I suppose you ca n''t think of any way that I could find out who bought those seats for that night?
43351I will tell you in a moment, Mrs. Altonstall,I said, slowly,"but first I must ask you if you know Mr. Robert Pembroke?"
43351Is Mr. Lawrence a particular friend of yours? 43351 Is it always on at night?"
43351Is it not true,asked Mr. Stone,"that this door, with the chain on thus, has often been violently jerked open?"
43351Is it your own?
43351Is it yours?
43351Is n''t that a clue?
43351Is that your custom?
43351Is there a doctor living in this house?
43351Is there any one else that you would like to have notified?
43351Is this Doctor Post?
43351It certainly is,he said, taking the linen square, and glancing at the letters;"did you find it?
43351It''s beautiful work,I agreed,"and now will you give me Mr. Gresham''s address?"
43351Just what is an alibi?
43351Knowing that he had a large sum of money in the house?
43351Laura,I said suddenly,"do you think those two cousins are in love with each other?"
43351Lest I be suspected of the murder of a man whom I never saw, and never even heard of until after he was dead?
43351May I ask how you know this, sir?
43351Miss Janet, honey,she said, slowly,"ain''yo''gwine send fo''Master George?"
43351Mr. George Lawrence?
43351Mr. Graham Leroy, your uncle''s lawyer?
43351Mr. Leroy has asked you to become his wife?
43351Mr. Pembroke desired the match, did n''t he?
43351Mus''I tell de trufe to you- all?
43351Never mind what you wanted it for,I said,"but you did want it, did n''t you?
43351Of course not,I assented;"but, by the way, where_ is_ the other half of that hat- pin?"
43351Of how many members did the family consist?
43351Of what sort?
43351Oh, did you?
43351Old Mr. Pembroke dead?
43351On what train?
43351Only to the extent of proving that you purposely suppressed that letter; and I ask you why?
43351Robert Pembroke?
43351She inherits property?
43351Shot? 43351 So that after your uncle left you you were alone?"
43351Suspicions? 43351 That Leroy is the guilty man,"she said;"do n''t say,''how did he get in?''
43351The coroner?
43351The man who was murdered a few days ago?
43351The midnight train?
43351The night- chain was on, you say?
43351The office clock is always about right, I suppose?
43351The usual subject, I suppose,said young Lawrence, looking sympathetically at his cousin;"have you sent for Leroy?"
43351Then the first intimation of your uncle''s death you received the next morning?
43351Then when you last saw or heard your uncle he was leaving you in a fit of rage?
43351Then you can tell us nothing, Mr. Whitaker, that will throw any light upon the crime that has been committed in your house?
43351Then you saw your uncle first this morning, when Charlotte called you to his room?
43351Then,said I,"will you take up the case, and find the criminal as soon as may be?
43351There were no guests here when you returned?
43351They have proved satisfactory as tenants?
43351They resented this?
43351This is Mr. Landon? 43351 This pin, you say, is a hat- pin?"
43351Two doctors?
43351Was Mr. Pembroke in the habit of keeping such large sums of money in the house?
43351Was he apparently as well as usual?
43351Was he kind to you?
43351Was he liberal with you in money matters?
43351Was he shot?
43351Was he-- was he cruel to you?
43351Was his desk open when you were there?
43351Was it as much as ten thousand dollars, as this memorandum seems to indicate?
43351Was it heart disease?
43351Was it sold out the night of October sixteenth?
43351Was the conversation of a pleasant sort?
43351Was this key the property of your uncle?
43351Was your uncle in a bad temper when he left you?
43351We are not doubting your word,he said;"you spent the evening at the house where you dined?"
43351Well, Janet, what''s up?
43351Were the bills in a rubber band, and was a slip of paper with them?
43351Were you Mr. Pembroke''s physician?
43351What I want to know especially, is, whether any one came into the house last evening, or late last night, who was a stranger to you?
43351What about the key?
43351What are you talking about?
43351What could be the motive of a professional burglar?
43351What did you do after your uncle retired?
43351What did you do next?
43351What did you do then, since you say you did not go directly?
43351What did you think she wanted you for?
43351What did you want it for?
43351What did you want the money for?
43351What do you ask?
43351What do you mean, Janet?
43351What do you think, Miss Pembroke?
43351What if he was?
43351What is this?
43351What is your urgent need?
43351What pin?
43351What pin?
43351What time does your elevator stop running?
43351What was he cross about?
43351What was he scolding her about?
43351What was the reason?
43351What would he do?
43351What''s up, pard?
43351When did you have it last, to your knowledge?
43351When did you last see your uncle alive?
43351When did you see him last?
43351When were you last in Mr. Pembroke''s room?
43351When you saw him yesterday, was he ill- tempered?
43351Where did he get it?
43351Where did you go then?
43351Where do you live now, George?
43351Where is Charlotte?
43351Where is the key?
43351Where was Miss Pembroke when you gave her the mail?
43351Where was it?
43351Where were you between eleven and twelve o''clock, on Wednesday night?
43351Where were you late last Wednesday night?
43351Which came first?
43351Who are they?
43351Who did it?
43351Who did want the money then? 43351 Who is his lawyer, and why has he not been summoned?"
43351Who told you about that?
43351Whose is it?
43351Why can you not be honest? 43351 Why did he tell you that?
43351Why did he want Doctor Post, if Uncle Robert was already dead?
43351Why did you call Doctor Post?
43351Why did you do this?
43351Why did you not leave him?
43351Why did you say it was a hat- pin?
43351Why do n''t you employ a detective, then?
43351Why do you say that?
43351Why do you think Charlotte could not have done this thing?
43351Why not call up Leroy''s office and find out when he''s coming home?
43351Why not?
43351Why not?
43351Why should I?
43351Why was he not kind to you?
43351Why, do n''t you see? 43351 Why, what does it mean?
43351Will you go up- stairs with me?
43351Will you now give us your testimony?
43351Will you tell me, Mr. Leroy, where you were on Wednesday night?
43351Will you, Otis?
43351Would it be possible for a marauder or intruder to get in during the night?
43351Would you mind if I looked about a little bit? 43351 Would you not wish to employ Mr. Leroy in this matter?"
43351Yes, but how do I know what she may do to deserve it? 43351 Yes, it_ was_ enough, was n''t it?"
43351Yes,replied Whitaker, looking at me with a glance that savored of suspicion;"how did you know?"
43351Yes; and what do you think Otis? 43351 Yet you thought at first that he died of apoplexy?"
43351You also knew of the conditions of your uncle''s will?
43351You always expected it, then?
43351You asked him last evening?
43351You assert that as your unqualified opinion?
43351You brought it with you on purpose?
43351You can not or you will not?
43351You carry a latch- key to this apartment?
43351You corroborate it?
43351You did not get on well with your uncle?
43351You find it lucrative?
43351You have never seen it before, then?
43351You have never seen the man?
43351You have no idea who is the J. S. who signed his initials to this telegram?
43351You heard the testimony of Charlotte, your servant?
43351You knew of this?
43351You know, then, that by his death you will inherit a large sum of money?
43351You live in this house?
43351You lived with him?
43351You mean he left the drawing- room?
43351You mean,said Janet, who had again assumed her inscrutable expression,"that I must tell you the truth?"
43351You reached the station then but a short time before the train left?
43351You sometimes go yourself?
43351You stopped nowhere, going or coming?
43351You----The coroner hesitated for the fraction of a second, and then cleared his throat and went on:"You put the night- chain on the front door?"
43351Your name?
43351Your name?
43351Your occupation?
43351Your relation to the deceased?
43351Your uncle also vented his ill- temper on his servants, I understand?
43351Your uncle never went to the theatre, Miss Pembroke?
43351Your uncle went to his room, you say, at about ten o''clock?
43351Your uncle wished you to marry him?
43351Altonstall?"
43351Altonstall?"
43351An''did you steal dat money?
43351And Janet?
43351And then again, the old, ever insoluble question,--how could he get in?
43351And then, besides this, how could he have gained entrance to the apartment at the dead of night, unless Janet had let him in?
43351And was I, even now, about to verify this?
43351And where do you think you lost it?"
43351And why did n''t Laura refer to it?
43351And why should she murder Robert Pembroke?
43351And yet, when it came to a question of evidence, what could be more incriminating than that chained door as a proof against Janet?
43351Are palms in the hall worth more than a red velvet hand- rail with tassels?
43351Are you afraid to be?"
43351Are you sure you heard no noise in the night?"
43351Are you willing to tell it to me?"
43351At last, unable to control my impatience, I said:"Do you now think the guilt rests upon either one or both of those women?"
43351But I know J. S. to be an enemy of my uncle, and why may it not be that he came and killed Uncle Robert, even after he sent that letter?
43351But again, if J. S. had come for money, and had received it, why should he kill Mr. Pembroke?
43351But could she have been an accessory thereto, or could she have caused or connived at it?
43351But how?"
43351But who could find the man who belongs to all that stuff?"
43351By the way, when was Leroy here last?"
43351CAN LEROY BE GUILTY?
43351Could Leroy be guilty?
43351Could he possibly be still concealed in the house?
43351Could it be possible, I thought, that these two were really glad rather than otherwise?
43351Could it be, after all----?
43351Did Janet send for you?"
43351Did he expect to be accused?"
43351Did he recommend you to come here?"
43351Did he steal anything?"
43351Did you find any?"
43351Did you hear Mr. Pembroke or Miss Pembroke make any reference to a large sum of money?"
43351Did you lean over the bed for any purpose?"
43351Did you see any one before you served breakfast?"
43351Did you?"
43351Do you know Robert Pembroke?"
43351Do you often do it?"
43351Do you suppose that it is the work of burglars?"
43351Do you think that J. S. who sent that message might have kept his appointment, and come last night, although no one knew it?"
43351Do you want one?
43351Does an extra bathroom equal one block further west?
43351Excuse me, Mr. Landon, but are n''t you attaching undue importance to such a trifle as a lost handkerchief?"
43351Granting the hat- pin indicates a woman''s work, what about the man''s handkerchief?"
43351Gresham?"
43351Had she not shown a side of her nature which betokened unmistakably a strength of will and a stolid sort of determination?
43351Had the deed really been done by a woman?
43351Had you ever thought such a thing likely to happen?"
43351Harding''s?"
43351How can we find out?"
43351How could I have any suspicions?
43351How could his implication also implicate her?"
43351How do you suppose he entered?"
43351I Fasten a Bracelet Why should a young well- bred girl be under a vow of obedience to a man after she had broken her engagement to him?
43351I honestly tried-- don''t you believe I did?"
43351I was dazed, was n''t I?"
43351I wish, therefore, to ask if you have a family lawyer to whom you would naturally intrust the whole matter?"
43351I wonder what George will say?"
43351If the Coroner were to postpone until next day an interview with this woman, might she not have already effected her escape?
43351Is an onyx- lined entrance greater than a buttoned hall- boy?
43351Is it Leroy?
43351Is it sold out every night?"
43351Is not this true?"
43351It did n''t seem that it could have been Charlotte; and my mind refused even a hint of a thought of Janet in that connection; and yet-- who?
43351It is a man''s handkerchief?"
43351It was then, I think, that the thought came to me, why should not Uncle Robert die instead of myself?
43351Janet had acted strangely whenever I mentioned Leroy; but for that matter, when did Janet not act strangely?
43351Just before he got out he said:''Did you say 11.25?''
43351Just how did John Strong get into Mr. Pembroke''s apartment?"
43351Landon?"
43351Laura was saying, and I collected my scattered wits with a start, as I said,"will I what?"
43351Lawrence?"
43351Lawrence?"
43351Lawrence?"
43351Lawrence?"
43351Lawrence?"
43351Leroy?"
43351Leroy?"
43351Leroy?"
43351Leroy?"
43351May I ask where the key was found?"
43351May I ask where you obtained it?"
43351May I refer you to my man of business, and ask you to excuse me from a further discussion of this matter?"
43351May it not have been a shawl- pin, or some shorter pin that women use in their costumes?"
43351Might I be allowed, however, to ask your line of defence?"
43351Miss Pembroke, will you now give your evidence?"
43351Mr. Landon, what else did you find in your search?"
43351Now are you satisfied?"
43351Now whether you want to or not, wo n''t you please be honest with me, and confide more fully in me what knowledge you may have bearing on the case?"
43351Now who did?"
43351Now, can you not speak positively on that point?"
43351Oh, Miss Janet, honey, did yo''really kill Marse Robert?
43351Oh, how could I have been so stupid as to tell of that chain?
43351Or was it that she was seeking help and sympathy for herself?
43351Otis, what do_ you_ think?
43351Ought I not to place the whole matter in the hands of the Coroner?
43351Ought you not to advise your uncle''s lawyer?"
43351Pembroke''s?"
43351Pembroke?"
43351Pembroke?"
43351S.?"
43351S.?"
43351Shall I fetch him?"
43351She turned to Charlotte with it, saying,"You''ve never seen this before, have you, Charlotte?"
43351Surely, if ever a woman had cause to be glad at a relative''s death, she had; and yet-- what was I thinking of?
43351That you really wanted a large sum of money?"
43351The old argument:"How could he get in?"
43351This was surprising in its implication, but I went doggedly on:"Who, then, had a motive?"
43351Thus the possibility of an intruder was eliminated, and, granting that, who had killed Mr. Pembroke?
43351To be sure his face, voice and manner gave every effect of outraged innocence, but was that not just what a clever criminal would show?
43351WHO IS J. S.?
43351Want a poor seat?"
43351Was I not taking too much upon myself to investigate alone this new evidence?
43351Was he what is known as a ladies''man?
43351Was it a burglar?
43351Was it apoplexy?"
43351Was it not wiser that I should go there at once, and lose no time in securing any possible information?
43351Was she shielding J. S., and did she know far more about the tragedy than I had supposed?
43351Was that too brief a moment, too uncertain a bond to be depended upon?
43351Was the girl a coquette?
43351Were not the ticket stubs bent and broken and a good deal soiled?"
43351Were you at the station long before train time?"
43351Were you in the house last evening?"
43351What about them two chaps?
43351What can this man have died of?"
43351What did you do with the letters?"
43351What do you mean?
43351What do you mean?"
43351What more is there to say?"
43351What shall we do?''
43351What was the matter with the girl?
43351What was the reason of your uncle''s anger, aside from the question of your household bills?"
43351What''s the game?"
43351Where did you find this glass?"
43351Where was it found?"
43351Where was your servant?"
43351Where, in the studio, was the glass?"
43351Where?"
43351Who does name the things, anyway?
43351Who is he?"
43351Who is he?"
43351Who killed Uncle Robert?
43351Who was Mrs. Altonstall?
43351Why are you asking me all this?
43351Why did you not mention the letter that came to your uncle from Jonathan Scudder?"
43351Why did you not tell us of it?"
43351Why did you not?"
43351Why do n''t you look him up, Mr. Buckner, if you want to find the criminal?"
43351Why do people have chains on their front doors, any way?
43351Why do you doubt my word?"
43351Why should he have a time- table?"
43351Why should the murderer break it off and carry it away with her?"
43351Why was she so disingenuous?
43351Why would he not take off the chain and go away as silently as he came?"
43351Why?"
43351Will you go with me at once?"
43351Will you kindly say if this is so?"
43351Will you not, at least, discuss the matter with Mr. Leroy as soon as he returns to the city?"
43351Will you show me that?"
43351Will you tell me how you lost possession of this key, since it is yours?"
43351Will you wait for me a minute, while I telephone?"
43351Would he be likely to take bunches of violets to his feminine friends?"
43351XV WHO IS J. S.?
43351XVII CAN LEROY BE GUILTY?
43351You did not examine it closely, you say?"
43351You have seen Mr. Lawrence recently, Miss Waring?"
43351You''re getting awfully fond of her, are n''t you, George?"
43351do you s''pose I''m a human chart?
43351he asked;"have you ever seen it before?"
43351he exclaimed, with a start,"where did you get that?"
43351how?"
43351she said;"a shock like that would make anybody faint, would n''t it?
43351was she leading me on, purposely, and enjoying my bewilderment at her sudden transitions of mood?
43351what was the use of imagining?
43351you wanted to see me?"
537''And what is that?'' 537 ''Gentlemen,''said I,''are you aware whom you are playing with?''
537''Oh, you would squeal, would you?'' 537 ''Then the present stones are false?''
537''What''s that to you? 537 ''Who is it, anyway?''
537''Why do n''t you run a Sunday- school?'' 537 ''Will you be true to me, or will you remove the last good influence which is ever likely to come into my life?''
537About himself?
537Aeroplaning has been with us now for more than twenty years, and one might well ask: Why should this peril be only revealing itself in our day? 537 Afraid of what?"
537And how about yourself, sir?
537And how?
537And resolute?
537And terms?
537And the other?
537And this?
537And what do YOU think of it?
537And you wish me to dress the wound?
537Are you conscious?
537Are you really prepared for this, Charles? 537 But at night?"
537But how about the other man?
537But how could the four- fifty parliamentary pass over the same line without observing it?
537But how does that differ from any other cat?
537But surely,said he,"you are the heir of our relative, Lord Southerton?"
537But tell me what is the bottle of green glass which you have placed in your pocket?
537But what can have changed him so?
537But what had you done?
537But what has all this to do with dreams?
537But why should he indulge in such wanton destruction? 537 But why''Devil''?"
537But why? 537 But why?"
537But you think you would be prompt and cool at such a time?
537Can you give me his Scotch address?
537Can you put forward any theory?
537Come up and have some breakfast with me,said Mortimer, and he took me into his own chambers.--"Now, what DO you think of this, Jackson?"
537Could you have believed it?
537Do n''t you?
537Do we go far?
537Do you fulfil the conditions which are there laid down?
537Do you know how many wrong turnings there are between this and the stairs?
537Does a train vanish into thin air in England in broad daylight? 537 Does the proprietor know of it?"
537Excision of the wound, then?
537For example?
537Has the breastplate any particular history?
537Have the stones been altered?
537Have you an eye for handwriting?
537Have you any other theory?
537Have you any reason to suspect him?
537Have you ever known what it was to be exposed to imminent danger?
537Have you included the psychology of dreams among your learned studies?
537Have you met my husband?
537How about the anti- Semitic movement? 537 How came her initials and her badge of rank upon the filler?
537How could you possibly know her identity?
537How did you get in?
537How do you find your own way if it is so complicated?
537How do you know that?
537How far are we going? 537 I am to remain on watch, then?"
537I ca n''t imagine; can you?
537If it is a woman, how does she get there?
537In that case, why not lock your door?
537Is all well?
537Is it far?
537Is it far?
537Is it possible,said he,"that Sir John Bollamore''s previous history is unknown to you?"
537Is n''t he splendid?
537Is that all?
537Keep your ears open, and if you hear any sounds wake me instantly-- instantly, you hear?
537Mania?
537May I have another cigar?
537Might I trouble you to walk outside, Marshall?
537My dear Thomas, how are you?
537No thief could have come through the windows?
537Not too far to walk?
537Oh, really-- in England?
537Or passed you at the door?
537Perhaps you are not aware,said he,"that I am a medical man like yourself?"
537She has not spoken?
537Sir Thomas?
537So now, Dr. Hamilton, may I rely upon your aid?
537Supposing that is so, what has the science of dreams to do with a large, black, brass- rimmed funnel?
537That is in his study, is it not?
537The leather funnel has acted, then?
537Then Lord Southerton must have died about the same time that I was hurt?
537Then her influence still holds him?
537Then it was you who screamed?
537Then this common leather filler belonged to a marquis?
537Then what in the world did the thief want?
537Then, my dear Kennedy, why did you do it?
537They are ferocious, then?
537To visit Professor Andreas?
537Was that you? 537 Washing, then, might cleanse it?"
537What a black devil he looks, does n''t he? 537 What are the symptoms?"
537What did you dream?
537What do you know about beetles?
537What do you make of it?
537What do you mean, Summers? 537 What do you mean?"
537What does he want?
537What dreadful business?
537What has happened, then?
537What is it?
537What is the case?
537What is the history of that?
537What other openings are there in the museum?
537What part of England-- London?
537What sort of a question is this? 537 What the devil do you mean?"
537What then?
537What then?
537What would happen if the light went out?
537What''s this? 537 What-- at once?"
537When did you ever ask me anything that I did not tell you? 537 When would you like to come?"
537Where would the variety of life be without them? 537 Where?"
537Which is?
537Which room did you hear it from?
537Who can the woman be?
537Who''s there?
537Why do you say relapsed?
537Why should he do it?
537Why?
537Will you kindly draw that shutter and look through?
537Will you speak to him about it?
537Will you take a glass of wine before you go out into this cold air?
537Would it not be well to use the knife while it will be painless?
537Would you call it a cut?
537Yes, sir?
537You ca n''t wonder that I am fond of him, can you?
537You devil, what do you mean?
537You do n''t mean that you are yourself a collector?
537You have had personal experience of this poison?
537You have heard something?
537You have heard, Mr. Jackson, of the urim and thummim?
537You make it a B?
537You speak English, I presume?
537You wanted me to go out, I understand?
537You will excuse me for an instant wo n''t you?
537You''ve heard the voice, Colmore?
537Your servants?
537''How have you escaped discovery?''
537A Juryman: Has anyone up to now expressed any doubt about the matter?
537Above all, might it not be the food of life, of monstrous life, even as the humble grease of the ocean is the food for the mighty whale?
537And who would wish to attack him?
537And yet, what was the alternative?
537Are the present precautions enough to insure you against robbery?"
537Are you prepared to swear to this handwriting, Miss Morton?
537At every gathering of airmen, Joyce- Armstrong, according to Dangerfield, would ask, with an enigmatic smile:"And where, pray, is Myrtle''s head?"
537Brown?"
537But granting that our employer led a double and dubious life, who could she be, this mysterious woman who kept him company in the old tower?
537But how?
537But if so, why should he hesitate to warn Mortimer in his own name?
537But if you did not love her why should you make this great scandal which has damaged you and ruined her?"
537But in that case where did she come from?
537But in that case, how far am I answerable both for his death and for any other mishap which may occur?
537But might it not be the remains of life?
537But was it not possible that I had attained it?
537But what do you think of it?
537But who and what is he?
537But who, then, is this lady whose appearance was so attractive and whose end was so horrible?"
537But why should you expect otherwise of me?
537By the way, Charles, did Evelyn say anything about the date of her return?"
537By the way, Kennedy, have you any matches?"
537By the way, did you see a black japanned box in his room?"
537By the way, have you heard any news of Lord Southerton''s health lately?"
537Can I hope to convey it to you even as I saw it myself last Thursday?
537Can it be that there is some fact which underlies them, and am I, of all mortals, the one who is chosen to expose it?
537Can you explain this, Miss Morton?
537Can you make out any lettering upon it?"
537Could I possibly pull it back?
537Could it indeed be possible that some nameless thing, some dreadful presence, was lurking down yonder?
537Could there be a more obvious prelude to an engagement?
537Could you tell where I am?"
537Did I not do all I could for you?
537Did he know his lady''s ways and condone them, or was he a mere blind, doting fool?
537Did you stand it out to the end?"
537Died of what?
537Do n''t you know your master?"
537Do n''t you think so?"
537Do n''t you, boy?"
537Do you observe something drawn a little farther along the rim?"
537Do you really believe-- does anybody really believe-- that a man''s head could be driven clean into his body by the force of a fall?
537Does that convince you?"
537First of all, what do you think of Simpson, the porter?"
537For God''s sake what''s the matter?"
537Had it caught the scent of me?
537Had it possibly been sidetracked for some reason in order to allow the slower train to go past?
537Hamilton?"
537He is very exclusive in his friends-- aren''t you, Tommy?
537Here I was with these precious relics in my possession, and how could I return them without a scandal and an exposure?
537How could I expose him without injuring her-- and how far was I justified in exposing him when he had voluntarily put himself into my power?
537How could I stave it off until morning?
537How could I, without striking my own daughter, who was infatuated about him, prevent him from carrying out any plan which he might have formed?
537How could such a crime be brought home to him?
537How could we convict him without a full account of my brother''s career being made public-- the very thing which of all others we wished to avoid?
537How did you get rid of her in three weeks?"
537How do you prove the two women to be the same?"
537How shall I describe it?
537How''s that?"
537I cried,"that quiet, studious, sad- faced man?"
537I suppose that you have no idea what it was that you have seen?"
537If he had any such misgivings, why could he not come and tell me direct?"
537Is it a woman or not?"
537Is it advancing years( after all, I am only thirty- five), or is it this physical malady which has caused degeneration?
537Is it not much more likely that the recent tragedy of the sheep has caused him to take some steps which may have ended in his own destruction?
537Is there a secret society of colliers, an English Camorra, which is capable of destroying both train and passengers?
537It is n''t a very common thing for a young man to carry about with him, is it?
537It may be a woman----""Why, what else COULD it be?"
537Lonely and broken, what else have I in all the world to uphold me?
537Might I ask you as a very great favour, when you occupy that couch tonight, to sleep with this old funnel placed by the side of your pillow?"
537Mr. Humphrey: And how do you know, Miss Morton, that Dr. Lana is not dead?
537Mr. Humphrey: And the date?
537Mr. Humphrey: Do you believe your brother to be guilty of this crime?
537Mr. Humphrey: Do you know that your brother is not guilty of the death of Doctor Lana?
537Mr. Humphrey: Have you the envelope?
537Mr. Humphrey: Have you this letter?
537Mr. Humphrey: How do you know it?
537Mr. Humphrey: What is the post- mark?
537Mr. Porlock Carr: Then why have you made this public?
537Shall I read the details of the torture?"
537So that made the adventure more alluring, did it?"
537Surely they did not carry their mediaeval homage to the nobility to the point of decorating instruments of torture with their titles?"
537The Beetle- Hunter A curious experience?
537They talk of the superfluous woman, but what would the poor superfluous man do without her kindly presence?
537To whom?"
537Was it a search party?
537Was it all a fantasy, or did it really stand for something which had happened in the black, cruel days of the world''s history?
537Was it because he foresaw it that he abandoned his charge of it?
537Was it not strange that he should wish to be so well informed, since he knew that he was not the direct heir?"
537Well, it is an old story, and they are all in their graves now, anyhow, so what does it matter how they got there?
537Were they, perhaps, not such fairy- tales as we have thought?
537What could I know of the English railway lines?
537What did Venables say?
537What does this prove?
537What in the world has become of her?"
537What is the meaning of this, sir?"
537What shall I do?
537What was it you wanted to know?"
537What was the connection, or was there any connection between this and the secret visits of the lady whose voice I had overheard?
537What was the use of revenging his death upon a man who was as much stricken by that death as I was?
537What would the poor lonely women, or the uneducated yokels here think of it if I were to tell them my experience?
537What''s this?"
537When has such a story as this been written in the annals of our race?
537Where could the train be?
537Why did he do this?"
537Why should he possibly wish to be attacked?
537Why then should you pay me this considerable fee?"
537Why, then, had he come?
537Will you come?"
537Will you join me?"
537Would you mind asking me something else in return-- something not quite so eccentric this time?"
537Would you mind holding the lantern for a moment?"
537You are not a somnambulist, by any chance?"
537You have not, perhaps heard of the daggers of the Almohades?"
537You know that skylight which overlooks the central hall?
537You say that you heard nothing, Simpson?"
537You would allow your wife to go through an operation without an anaesthetic?"
537not a collector?"
46462''How do you ever come to know that?'' 46462 ''Next, gentlemen,''said I,''do you suspect anybody?''
46462''Where does your father live?'' 46462 A black, common- looking thing?"
46462All square with the landlord, then?
46462All what things?
46462An imprudent marriage probably?
46462And Mr. Lovell, did you observe how his voice shook? 46462 And is_ amount_ of any consequence to your friend?"
46462And where do you catch them?
46462And where does Levi Samuel live?
46462And where is that?
46462And which is the pleasantest road?
46462And yet,said I,"I think I have heard something about a Suitors''Fee Fund in those Courts above-- eh, Ficker?"
46462And you,I said;"how are you to escape?"
46462And your four victims are?
46462And_ was_ it Mesheck''s?
46462Any relation to M. le Breton''s fair correspondent''s Fidèle, I wonder?
46462Anything more?
46462Are the jury cases frequent?
46462As how?
46462Ay, truly; but what can_ you_ know of him? 46462 But his wife--_she_ is not a native of the principality?"
46462But how do they know that?
46462But perhaps you have not heard of these places?
46462But perhaps you will allow me to look at the indexes?
46462But pray where is the gold you mean to pay us with?
46462But what excuse can you make for remaining there, when they know you are booked for Kendal? 46462 But you do n''t mean,"said I,"that the suiters are made to pay £90,000 a year for what only costs £60,000?"
46462Call you that nothing?
46462Did I know him?
46462Did you not hear a noise below?
46462Do you know this house they intend to stop at?
46462Do you know where the Registry is?
46462Do you know where these screams come from?
46462Do you mean me and Henry?
46462Do you say so?
46462Do you think it probable,I eagerly asked,"that the_ Columbia_ will be obliged to put back into Plymouth?"
46462Do you think so? 46462 Do you think,"said the woman, after the lapse of about five minutes--"do you think Owen and his family will go with us?
46462Do you, sir?
46462Does Gates the attorney visit her?
46462Does it though? 46462 Doing a pretty good business here?"
46462Fences?
46462For what purpose, sir, are you instituting this eager search after my brother? 46462 From consideration chiefly, I dare say, for the age and infirmities of his lordship, and his numerous family?"
46462From whom came, then, these scraps of perfumed note- paper I have found in his desk I wonder?
46462Half- a- croone?
46462Hartley and Simpson you say?
46462Have you done anything to- day?
46462How am I to know,observed Mr. Lloyd, whose glance of pride had quickly passed away,"that you are dealing fairly and candidly with me in the matter?"
46462How came you acquainted with this robber''s haunts?
46462How came you to send those heavy boxes here, Jones?
46462How long does a defended case take?
46462I am of a different opinion; but tell me, what sort of a person is this former master of hers?
46462I think I have met you before,he remarked with a meaning smile on dismissing me,"when you occupied a different position from your present one?
46462I understood you had retired from amongst us; were in fact-- what shall I say?
46462Is Mr. Brown still within?
46462Is Sarah Purday,I asked the turnkey,"more reconciled to her position than she was?"
46462Is he dead? 46462 Is it give, sir?
46462Is it possible? 46462 Is not that fellow sober yet?"
46462Is that the law also with respect to bills of exchange?
46462Is that tower we see part of the abbey?
46462Is there_ any_ chance of recovering our property?
46462It is; and I am here to know what your singular advertisement means?
46462Jury cases occupy much longer?
46462Levasseur called you Marie Duquesne just now; but surely your name is Jaubert-- is it not?
46462Might he not have inadvertently left it there when with you?
46462Mr. B.? 46462 Mr. Ezekiel Grey?"
46462Never mind him; there were two twenties, were there not?
46462No female relative or acquaintance has n''t he?
46462Not rich apparently?
46462Not, marm?
46462Now, sir, on your oath, are they a portion of the property of which you have been robbed?
46462Now,said Mr. Ficker,"tell us what you all do for this money?"
46462Pray do you happen to know any thing of a family called Lovell?
46462Qu''est ce qu''il y a donc?
46462Rogers and his wife were not, I hope, cognizant of this?
46462Shall we wait any longer for him?
46462Sir,I replied, enclosing my left ear with my hand in the manner of a natural ear- trumpet,"did you speak?"
46462Supposing I could assist you,she at last said,"how would that help me?"
46462Tell me-- tell me, as you hope for life or mercy, where I may find my child?
46462The Miller?
46462The Registry; where they keep the wills?
46462Then it is lost?
46462Then, Mr. Bristowe,said the magistrate''s clerk,"assuming this curious narrative to be correct, you will be easily able to prove an_ alibi_?"
46462There is, I suppose, no vow registered in the matrimonial archives against_ looking on_ at a game played by others?
46462This brooch is yours?
46462This letter,said I,"is a very important one; but where is the envelop?"
46462Those men-- those fellows at Rugby-- where did you meet with them?
46462True-- true,she muttered:"how else should he know?
46462Very true,said I;"but suppose they had sixteen daughters, like a half- pay officer I once met on board a steam packet?"
46462Was it, Sir? 46462 Wat, vor telling me nought?"
46462Well, Barnes,I exclaimed as soon as we were in a room by ourselves, and the door closed,"what is it you have discovered?"
46462Well, that''s right enough: and now how much discount do you charge?
46462Well,said our friend,"what do you propose to give me for this?"
46462Well,she impatiently snarled,"suppose so; what then?"
46462What can this be?
46462What do you call this?
46462What do you guess? 46462 What do you mean by''school?''"
46462What dress did he wear when he left?
46462What for? 46462 What for?"
46462What has become of Monsieur?
46462What is it?
46462What is the lady''s name?
46462What is to be done then?
46462What post- mark does the letter bear?
46462What right,I answered with some heat,"have you, sir, to make such an insinuation?"
46462What shall I do-- what shall I do?
46462What sort of people were they?
46462What vessel is that?
46462What was the nature of the communication?
46462What_ is_ the meaning of this?
46462When do you mean to take them away? 46462 When do you say is the very earliest time she may be expected?"
46462When you received your instructions,said we,"you went away, and held a sort of Cabinet Council together?"
46462Where did you hide the soap on the day when you confess you tried to poison Henry Rogers?
46462Where do I catch them? 46462 Where does the remainder go?"
46462Where is Crawford?
46462Where is that? 46462 Where is the other boatman who came out with us?"
46462Who is always quarreling?
46462Why do they obey your orders so passively?
46462Why do you ask, mother?
46462Why have you not paid, sir?
46462Why, what is all this, Waters?
46462Why, what, in the name of all that''s comical, is the meaning of this?
46462Why?
46462Will it be early in the night, think you, that she will run in, if at all?
46462Would it not have been better to have sent them direct to Portsmouth, where the vessel calls?
46462Yes, Mr.Wat---- I beg pardon, Mr. What''s- your name, I would say?"
46462Yes-- and what then?
46462Yes: what do you want with him?
46462Yes: you know my cousin, Sophy Clarke? 46462 Yes; but what of that?
46462You are in possession, then, if Miss Caroline Lloyd is living with her father, of his precise place of abode?
46462You are mistaken,rejoined Owen;"there was a five- pound country note in it, and the loss will---- What is the matter, friend?"
46462You closely observed Sir Charles Malvern yesterday evening, I presume?
46462You have, I suppose, read the advertisements marked on these papers?
46462You know me, Mr. Skelton, and doubtless guess the meaning of my errand?
46462You know us then?
46462You quite understand, Waters, that Skelton is not for a moment to be lost sight of till his deposition has been taken?
46462You will accompany us, Waters?
46462_ Quite_ square?
46462_ The Columbia!_ Why, when did she arrive?
46462''An''t it?''
46462''Any letters for Mr. Thomas Pigeon?''
46462''At work all night?''
46462''Bobbish,''he says;''but who''s that with you?''
46462''But why all this secrecy?''
46462''Did you get''em from Mr. Trinkle, direct,''says I,''if you''ll excuse my asking the question?''
46462''Expected home soon?''
46462''Good morning, Sir,''says he''Would you allow me to inquire, Sir,''says I,''if you ever had any acquaintance with a party of the name of Grimwood?''
46462''Happen to have heard of a young woman being murdered there?''
46462''Have you any idea who cleaned them?''
46462''How are you?''
46462''How do you find yourself?''
46462''I ai n''t in partickler want of a bargain just now,''he says,''but where is it?''
46462''I hope you''ll let me have my coat?''
46462''Is there a Mr. John Pigeon staying here?''
46462''No?''
46462''No?''
46462''Perhaps_ you_ would n''t object to a drain?''
46462''Rising eight, is he?''
46462''Then you know who cleaned''em?''
46462''Then, perhaps,''says I, taking the gloves out of my pocket,''you can tell me who cleaned this pair of gloves?
46462''We''ll have two more, Missis,''said the friends,''and con- found you, Constable, you''ll give your man a drop, wo n''t you?''
46462''Well,''he says,''what do you want for it?''
46462''What are you doing here?
46462''What do you say now?
46462''Where do you come from?''
46462''Whose gloves are these?''
46462''Why, in the name of wonder,''says me and Mr. Tatt, in astonishment,''how did you come by that?''
46462''Will you allow me to call him over here,''says he,''that his father may not see it done?''
46462''Would you come round with me now?''
46462''You ai n''t a Baker?''
46462''You did n''t happen to remark what the post- mark was, perhaps?''
46462''You do n''t mean that?''
46462''You have got an ostler, I suppose?''
46462''You know the Waterloo Road?''
46462''You''re a glove cleaner, are you?''
46462A few have done something fraudulent in"contempt"of all law and equity; but is not even_ their_ punishment greater than their crime?
46462A few weeks ago, it was nothing like so magnificent?"
46462A silence of a minute or two succeeded, and then Levasseur said,"You are of course prepared for business?"
46462After staring and rubbing his chin for some time longer, he replied with the unexpected question--"Do you like bacon?"
46462And-- now I remember-- what did you say was the lady''s name?"
46462Are you ready?"
46462As he grew flushed and rosy, and I therefore imagined communicative, I said,"Well, now, tell me who and what is that lady?"
46462As soon as we had gone about a hundred paces from the house, I said,"Pray can you tell me which is Mr. Lloyd the beech- merchant''s house?"
46462At last, he came, per steamboat, and I took him, and lodged him in a New York Prison called the Tombs; which I dare say you know, Sir?"
46462Because the reason why?
46462But I suppose you''d stand by me, now, if I wanted a boy to help me in a little skirmish?"
46462But for that I-- I---- What do you stare at me so for, you infernal blue- bottle?
46462But here we are; what do you take-- port?"
46462But how is it your dress has become so suddenly changed?
46462But how was he to support his mother''s grief?
46462But is there any tangible evidence to justify this horrible suspicion?"
46462But the clerk was bothered, and did n''t know whether it was him, or wasn''t-- because the reason why?
46462But the wages was-- ha, ha, ha!--was not sufficient, and I never could suit myself, do n''t you see?
46462But what evidence have you to support your assertion?"
46462But what will not an enthusiastic antiquary dare, in his loved pursuit?
46462By the way, how are the other fees distributed?"
46462By the way, why should not the same option be given to suitors in Westminster Hall as is given in the County Courts?"
46462Can nothing be done?
46462Can ye do anything for me?"
46462Can you show it me?
46462Could he have access to the documents themselves?
46462Could you find him anywheres?''
46462Did he know where the ecclesiastical records were kept?
46462Did n''t you obsarve him jump into the main chains of the barkey jist as you wor leavin''on her, and cast us off a minute afterwards?
46462Did_ he_ complain?
46462Dinner was just over when Mrs. Lloyd said,"Oh, Mr. Jones, have you seen anything of my husband''s pocket- book?
46462Do n''t you hear the muffled drums?
46462Do you begin to perceive my drift?"
46462Do you recognize it-- fool, idiot that you are?"
46462Fikey at home?''
46462First- rate, is n''t it?
46462GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY?
46462Have these gloves been cleaned?''
46462Have you seen a ghost?"
46462Have you_ no_ respect for antiquity?"
46462He had assured them he would do so, but where was he to get the money?
46462He was silent for a few moments, and then he bawled out:"She''ll swing for it, they say-- swing for it, d''ye hear, dame?
46462He would be asked where he sat at the supper?
46462Him in the green coat?''
46462His figure expanded with a burst of indignation, which presently exploded in the interrogative interjection,"What?"
46462How came I not to think of this before?
46462How could he know so well?
46462How do you know that?"
46462How else could they account for their tears, their confusion, their bewilderment, their despair?
46462How meet the eye of the girl he loved?
46462How should I otherwise have become acquainted with these particulars?"
46462How were they to judge?
46462I asked, desirous of taking immediate, but not, I hope, unfair advantage of the rascal''s terror;"she who witnessed this lady''s marriage?"
46462I believe you sent this pair of gloves to be cleaned?''
46462I exclaimed with unfeigned surprise,"why, what on earth can you be waiting here for on such a night as this?"
46462I exclaimed, for the first time breaking silence--"what could there be to reveal?"
46462I hesitated a few seconds, and then said,"I have no great objection; but first, whom have I the honor of addressing?"
46462I presume these are the thousands of causes a- year withdrawn from the superior Courts?"
46462I says,''is that where they hang the men?
46462I then asked him to what intent he had left the notes with the young lady?
46462I transact business now for Mr. Everard Preston: you understand?"
46462I was not aware that you knew him?"
46462I was silent; and presently he gasped:"Wha-- at, what have I said?"
46462I''m come out of Northamptonshire, and I''m quite lonely here, for I do n''t know London at all, and it''s such a mighty big town?''
46462If thieving be an Art( and who denies that its more subtle and delicate branches deserve to be ranked as one of the Fine Arts?
46462Is he alone?"
46462Is this''administration of justice?''"
46462It''s a funeral, but where''s the grave?"
46462Mr. Smith, senior, ordered his dinner; and Mr. Lloyd and Arthur Smith-- but why need I attempt to relate what_ they_ did?
46462Mr. William Wallace inquired if that was to be the answer he was expected to convey to the Archbishop?
46462Not the Gates, I hope, in the late Bryant affair?"
46462Not_ pretty_ Mary Kingsford now then, I suppose?"
46462Now, have you your memorandum- book ready?"
46462Now, what is the plan of operations for carrying off the booty?"
46462Oh, good luck to you, sir; can you do nothing for me?"
46462On the look out for some of your old friends?''
46462Perhaps you''ll beckon him over here?''
46462Perhaps you''ll give us a look in, Butcher?''
46462Phibbs in the way?''
46462Presently she said with a sneer,"You are afraid, I suppose?"
46462Rather say you came to improve your acquaintance with the lady yonder, who, I dare say, will not prove ultimately inflexible?"
46462Shepherdson?''
46462So lucky for me, is it not, since I must go to service?
46462Stay; ca n''t you get assistance?"
46462Still, do you think it would be of any use to sound Rivers?
46462Still, should the clerk recognize me?
46462Surely you are not_ yet_ fallen so low as to be the associate or accomplice of burglars?"
46462Tell me, first of all, what you put in the stocking, you unfortunate blunderer?"
46462The following short dialogue occurred between him and the clerk:--"Pray,"said Mr. Wallace,"where are the Wills kept?"
46462The mysterious stranger makes some enquiry about"any cash?"
46462This premised, is there, think you, anything remarkable in Sir Charles''s demeanor?"
46462This, you will agree, seemed perfectly satisfactory?"
46462Upon Mary replying that she did not comprehend him, his look became absolutely ferocious, and he exclaimed:"Oh, that''s your game, is it?
46462Was Armstrong a drinking, a gaming, or a play- going man?
46462Waters and Emily quite well?"
46462Waters,"she exclaimed, in a changed, palpitating voice, as I was passing forth;"when all is done, you will not forget me?"
46462Waters?"
46462Waters?"
46462What are you going to do with him?''
46462What can it be?"
46462What could the poor man do?
46462What did he want to search for?
46462What do you say to a glass or two of wine, if only to keep this confounded wind out of our stomachs?
46462What does he give, and how does he dispose of them?"
46462What does the prosecutor say the brooch is worth?"
46462What does_ he_ do here?''
46462What has_ he_ to do with hope?
46462What is your opinion now of the prospects of the ministry?"
46462What plan of operations do you propose?"
46462What signifies, so you''re happy?"
46462What sort of a person is he?"
46462What was to be done next?
46462What''s the matter dear?
46462What?
46462What?
46462What_ could_ it mean?
46462When the debt appeared to be_ primâ facie_ proved, the Barrister turned to the defendant, and perhaps asked him if he disputed it?
46462Where is she?"
46462Who could have thought it?
46462Who is your friend?"
46462Who would not have pitied Lovell, when, livid with horror and conscious guilt, he vainly tried to say something?
46462Why is this?
46462Why more Police- officers?
46462Why should you doubt me?"
46462Why, what in the name of Mercury could a detachment of the swell- mob be wanting in that country of furze and frieze- coats?
46462Wield?''
46462Would you discount their twenty thousand a year by even a fraction per cent?
46462Would you do me a favor, and post this for me, as it is so wet?''
46462You are an English Jew I perceive?"
46462You are doubtless acquainted with the full particulars of the robbery at my residence, Brook Street, last Thursday fortnight?"
46462You are not perhaps acquainted with his handwriting?"
46462You could n''t make it convenient to call again, could you?''
46462You have every confidence in your maids; but what_ can_ you think?
46462You have heard of this young man''s father?"
46462You have no objection to accompany me to the superintendent?"
46462You have of course an accurate description of the persons of Williams and his wife ready?"
46462You understand?"
46462You understand?"
46462You want to find Jem Martin?"
46462You will not fail me?"
46462_ Barrister._ Will a month do, Mr. Docket?
46462_ Plaintiff''s Attorney._ Your honor will give us speedy recovery?
46462and does he live near here?"
46462and smoke our pipes, do n''t you see?
46462and so on?
46462and they says,''Now you''ll know it agen, wo n''t you?''
46462and what are you driving at?"
46462he at last stammered, feebly accepting my proffered grasp--"who would have thought of meeting you here?"
46462he burst out,"how are you off for soap?
46462he exclaimed,"what is this?"
46462how are you?''
46462is his brother here?''
46462is that you?''
46462replied Jackson;"why, money of course: what else?
46462roared Sandford,"do you hold your life so cheap?"
46462said the countryman,"Wat vor?"
46462says Mr. Phibbs, again;''can nothing be done?''
46462screamed the fellow, half dead with fear, and slipping down on a chair;"what shall I do to save my life-- my life?"
46462tall gentleman, with light hair?
46462that''s him in the shop, is it?
46462was it, eh?
46462what''s that?"
46462where the prisoner sat, and each of the other guests?
42813''Ave you got a horder from the hagents?
42813A Jewess, was n''t it?
42813A cette heure- ci, n''est- ce pas?
42813A friend? 42813 A lady?
42813Ah,said Gimblet,"you stopped at a post office, did you?
42813Allowed? 42813 An idea?
42813And Miss Turner? 42813 And Miss Turner?"
42813And do you think the girl, her daughter, has any idea as to the woman''s whereabouts?
42813And how long have you been caretaking here, do you say?
42813And now may I see Miss Turner''s room?
42813And she is no doubt a great comfort to you?
42813And the house? 42813 And the pearls-- was she to burn them too?"
42813And what are they?
42813And what happened then?
42813And where did you see them?
42813And who is she?
42813And will you describe to me what clothes Mrs. Vanderstein wore,he asked,"and also those of Miss Turner?"
42813And you were not arrested, not suspected? 42813 And you were told the car would not be required again after the opera?"
42813And you will never bet again?
42813Any discoveries?
42813Anything else you can remember about him?
42813Are n''t I nice to you, Bertie? 42813 Are they hurt?
42813Are you going to act being this gentleman you''re talking about?
42813Are you going to risk your entire fortune?
42813Are you there?
42813Barbara, Barbara,he cried,"will you always go hand in hand with me now?"
42813Barbara, has no one interesting appeared?
42813But if, as you seem to suspect, the lady has gone off deliberately, will she not be annoyed at our seeking her out? 42813 But it does n''t matter now, does it?"
42813But what could she mean?
42813But what would happen to the people who make it?
42813But why should he remove it? 42813 By all means,"said Gimblet ungraciously,"why should n''t the whole street come?
42813By the way,said Gimblet,"who is Bert?"
42813Can I see the second footman now? 42813 Can you describe what Mr. West looked like?"
42813Can you not leave the message with me?
42813Can you remember Mrs. Vanderstein''s exact words when she gave you the order not to return?
42813Did n''t I? 42813 Did she always have the same one?"
42813Did she come every day, and has she been here since Mrs. Vanderstein left home?
42813Did she leave no word as to where she was going?
42813Did she leave you no money?
42813Did the idea of an accident occur to you?
42813Did you back him?
42813Did you come to persuade me to your views on compulsory service?
42813Did you go by it on Monday?
42813Did you hear who had taken it?
42813Did you lose much last week?
42813Did you notice anything else?
42813Did you notice the carriage which was driving away?
42813Did you see if he wore gloves?
42813Did you see lights in the house-- in the windows, I mean?
42813Did you want anything?
42813Die? 42813 Disappeared?"
42813Do n''t you feel,said Gimblet,"that there is something terrible, something fearful, in those shining brown pieces of wood?
42813Do n''t you know?
42813Do n''t you think it would be a good plan to take one of the Grosvenor Street servants with us to identify the young lady? 42813 Do n''t you think you can find them from what I''ve told you?"
42813Do you really think a man has more chance with a girl if he is foolish and rich?
42813Do you remember,he asked,"whether that sofa had a cover like the other before Mr. Mill went away?"
42813Do you say she wore her necklace under her blouse?
42813Do you see it?
42813Do you see that?
42813Do you still think of running over to Dieppe?
42813Do you think she would help me?
42813Does n''t it do your heart good to see how he likes it?
42813Does she live alone in Grosvenor Street?
42813For what will you fetch the police? 42813 Had Mrs. Vanderstein a friend of your nationality?"
42813Has Miss Turner any money of her own?
42813Has Mrs. Vanderstein the full control of her fortune?
42813Has anyone bought anything to- day?
42813Have any inquiries been made?
42813Have some barley sugar?
42813Have you answered those?
42813Have you any theory?
42813Have you anything to do with the police?
42813Have you been racing?
42813Have you found anything?
42813Have you got a friend you can trust who would stretch a point to help you?
42813Have you got a lemon?
42813Have you got that inventory?
42813Have you heard nothing?
42813Have you inquired at any of the hospitals?
42813Have you lost much?
42813Have you noticed anything unusual of late,he asked,"in the habits or demeanour of anyone in the house?"
42813Have you seen this lady''s jewels, mother?
42813Have you seen this?
42813He might put us on a poster, Pompom, might n''t he? 42813 How could it?
42813How do I know, you ask me? 42813 How do you know that?"
42813How do you know this is the right one?
42813How is she to account for the pearls, and for the dresses and opera cloaks?
42813How is that, mother?
42813How is that?
42813How long has Wilcox been in Mrs. Vanderstein''s service?
42813How much do you want me to put on him?
42813How should you have seen me? 42813 How''s that?"
42813I beg your pardon?
42813I called to see Madame Querterot-- is it possible that I am speaking to her?
42813I do n''t know the exact conditions of the will; but, supposing she dies before Mrs. Vanderstein, what happens?
42813I have thought myself, that, perhaps, the servants----"Mrs. Vanderstein''s servants? 42813 I may keep it for the present, I suppose?"
42813I saw you with her in the Park last Sunday, did I not?
42813I say,said he,"do you think I did it, too?"
42813I suppose there''s nothing to do but wait?
42813I suppose you know Miss Turner well? 42813 I suppose,"he said after a moment, with a shamefaced look,"that there ca n''t be anything in Chark''s idea, can there?"
42813I told you she had a bag in her hand? 42813 I told you?"
42813I wonder what she can have been doing there?
42813I''m sorry to have kept you waiting,the detective began;"wo n''t you sit down now?"
42813If anything should turn up,she faltered,"to make this idea impossible, you will try telling Mrs. Vanderstein the truth, wo n''t you?
42813If you would like me to come myself?
42813Indeed,said Gimblet,"was Mrs. Vanderstein in the habit of going abroad at a moment''s notice?"
42813Infernal lies,cried Sidney;"what the devil does anyone mean by suggesting such things?
42813Is it a pair of foreign looking gentlemen?
42813Is it as bad as that?
42813Is it right then, that she should be permitted to have so much when others starve? 42813 Is n''t he handsome?"
42813Is that Scotland Yard?
42813Is that then her name? 42813 Is that you, Blake?"
42813Is there no mention of the chair covers?
42813Is there no one else to whom you could have appealed for advice? 42813 Is there not?"
42813It is your socialistic teaching, is it not, to take from the rich? 42813 It looks as if she had forgiven you, does n''t it?"
42813It smells good in here, is it not?
42813It was you, I think,the detective said to him,"who accompanied the motor last night when it left here with the two ladies?"
42813It''s a funny thing,she went on after a moment''s silence;"it seems somehow as if it was meant to be, does n''t it?
42813Joolie,he began hurriedly,"why do you never let me see you alone?
42813Julie,she said;"why should Julie be arrested?"
42813Justine?
42813Look at this old black coat and skirt; do you see how threadbare and old- fashioned it is? 42813 Look here,"he said to Gimblet,"why do n''t you go over that house?
42813Look, what is that?
42813Madame Querterot, will you help me? 42813 May I ask who the lady is-- a relation of yours?"
42813Mr. Gimblet, that you? 42813 Mr. Gimblet,"he cried,"where are you off to?
42813Mr. Sidney,said the detective slowly,"where do you suppose Miss Turner is?"
42813Mrs. Vanderstein absolutely refused to help you in any way?
42813No? 42813 No?
42813O- ho,he said to himself,"so that''s the trouble, is it?"
42813Oh, do go away, Sir Gregory,said Gimblet;"ca n''t you see I''m busy?
42813One moment,Jennins interrupted;"do you think you could recognise the horse, Miss Turner, if you should see him again?"
42813One of the maidservants?
42813Perfectly,said Gimblet patiently,"would you know him again?"
42813Really, how do you know that?
42813Really?
42813Rich, then?
42813Scholefield Avenue,she repeated,"where is that?"
42813She is a masseuse, then?
42813She must have dressed in a hurry, and done it by mistake; do n''t you think so?
42813Something must be done,she repeated dully;"ca n''t you borrow from some one?"
42813Surely you can see the direction in which the circumstances point?
42813That means you do n''t like her yourself?
42813That''s a very different thing from thinking her capable... surely it''s impossible.... What makes you suspect her?
42813That''s the only thing you can remember?
42813The house in which you were imprisoned is there,said Gimblet;"have you forgotten?
42813The other side of Regent''s Park, is n''t it?
42813The question is rather, what would she do without you? 42813 The question is, what''s the next thing to be done?"
42813The vitriol? 42813 Then how in the world was it that no one knew it?
42813Then what did she wake you up to say, early on Tuesday morning?
42813Then who can have harmed them?
42813Then who is to sign the lease?
42813There are people like that,Gimblet agreed diplomatically;"but tell me, how did Mrs. Vanderstein know this Madame Querterot?"
42813There has been no alteration in your prospects since Monday then,pursued the detective;"you have had no better news to- day?
42813They would all lose their means of earning a livelihood, is it not so? 42813 Was she not seen to leave the opera house?"
42813Was there any French lady whom she knew well, and whose name, perhaps, began with a Q?
42813Was there anything that struck you as the least unusual?
42813Was there more than one?
42813We are safe enough,Madame Querterot asserted positively;"how is it you say?
42813Well?
42813Were you able to observe the expression on the ladies''faces?
42813What about?
42813What aged man is he?
42813What can have happened?
42813What can keep him indoors on so fine a day?
42813What did Joe mean by his last remark?
42813What did you find?
42813What do you know of the missing ladies?
42813What do you mean?
42813What do you say?
42813What do you think about it?
42813What do you think of it? 42813 What does he look like?"
42813What happened to the other?
42813What has happened?
42813What in the world are you doing here?
42813What in the world is there to see?
42813What is Mrs. Vanderstein like to look at?
42813What is it, Madame Justine?
42813What is it? 42813 What is it?"
42813What is it?
42813What made him think of such a thing, d''ye think?
42813What makes you dislike this woman so much? 42813 What should we want compulsory service for?
42813What the deuce are you talking about?
42813What time do you say this was?
42813What was it? 42813 What was it?"
42813What was she like?
42813What was the man like?
42813What were they like?
42813What''s the matter with her?
42813What, Miss Turner?
42813What, do n''t you remember that it had a cover?
42813What, steal them?
42813What,said Brampton,"you have bad news for him?"
42813What? 42813 What?"
42813What_ bêtise_ is this?
42813When did Your Highness see me?
42813When do you say you saw her last?
42813Where are they?
42813Where have you been?
42813Where is she?
42813Where''s this newspaper editor?
42813Who does not share her admiration?
42813Who else are you thinking of, when you say things look black against others than Sidney?
42813Who else could good luck come to me from if not from you? 42813 Who was it who suggested this questionable proceeding in the first place?"
42813Who''s been saying things about me?
42813Who''s got the key?
42813Whom have we here?
42813Why do n''t you get my aunt to bring you down to Epsom to- morrow?
42813Why do you care?
42813Why not? 42813 Why would they not let me go to Mrs. Vanderstein if she was ill?
42813Why, what do you mean; who would benefit?
42813Why, what''s the matter?
42813Why,asked Jennins,"were those not the colours she wore?"
42813Will you go to- day?
42813Will you please stay where you are a little longer?
42813Wo n''t you tell me?
42813Yes, is that Mr. Gimblet? 42813 You ca n''t mean,"he said slowly,"that you imagine she had any knowledge of the attack on my aunt?"
42813You ca n''t think of anything else, however trivial?
42813You did n''t happen to notice any particular two?
42813You do n''t know the name of the street? 42813 You do think so, I suppose?"
42813You have not forgotten that it is to- night we go with him to the theatre? 42813 You heard that the lady had disappeared?"
42813You know Mr. Vanderstein left me £ 30,000, which I was to have if poor Mrs. Vanderstein died? 42813 You live in this street?"
42813You think not?
42813You were there? 42813 You''re a pretty rash young lady, are n''t you?"
42813You, Sir Gregory, know the lady''s writing, I suppose?
42813''Can you get over these railings?''
42813''How do I look?''
42813''I think it is hardly possible,''I replied;''but why should I get over?''
42813''Is it the massage that has had an effect after all?''
42813''Look, Alice,''said he,''you see the dark lady in that motor?
42813''Oh, sir,''she cried,''can you tell me if there''s any truth in what I''ve seen in the papers, about the lady that lives here having disappeared?
42813''What do you mean by driving like that?''
42813''What has happened to my friend?''
42813''What''s the matter?''
42813''Where are you taking me?''
42813''Why should we go this way?''
42813After a moment she resumed in serious tones:"It''s a good thing, do n''t you think, to have a fad of some kind?
42813After all-- the thought would not be kept away any longer-- what would Julie think of all this?
42813Ah, Sidney, how are you?
42813Am I to understand then that she is married?
42813And I suppose they''ll say I''ve murdered her all the more now?"
42813And have not the Jews for centuries ground the bones of the poor?
42813And if Miss Turner were not flying from justice, where was she?
42813And in the next box?
42813And it is so nice of you to like me so much, but why ca n''t we go on just being friends?"
42813And now that the servant has gone, may I ask what is the sad event which has given me the pleasure of seeing you?"
42813And the one beyond that?
42813And the polishers and setters?
42813And what does she do with her money?
42813And what has Miss Turner to say on the subject?"
42813And when I got there, what did I hear?
42813And which post office did you stop at?"
42813And who did I see, madame?
42813And whoever heard of a woman''s taking a friend on a wedding trip?
42813And why was it tied to a spade?
42813And would n''t I say I was glad?
42813And you still refuse to dig a grave?
42813And, above all, what was the meaning of the man''s behaviour to me?
42813And, if he came and did not succeed in enlisting Mrs. Vanderstein''s sympathies, what then?
42813Are there imbeciles in the world?
42813Are you coming, Sir Gregory?"
42813At the same time where a lady is concerned-- you follow me?
42813Aunt Ruth, why do n''t you come racing with me sometimes?
42813Barbara, do you mind going away till I call you?
42813But can you suggest one with which I could go to her and ask for £ 10,000?
42813But how am I to meet her?
42813But if it came to the point what would you do, not to show gratitude, but to win the hand of Julie?
42813But if not... if not?
42813But in what?
42813But of course you''re the sort of fellow who can read the secret of dark mysteries in anything, from the Tower Bridge to a baked potato, are n''t you?
42813But was it possible that she would risk not only his safety but her own, in order to gratify her spite against her daughter?
42813But will she take him?
42813But will you not tell us your adventures from the beginning?
42813But wo n''t you sit down?
42813But wo n''t you tell me all about it?
42813But you are not absolutely alone in the world, are you?
42813But, I say, do n''t you want to know a little more of the beauteous stranger who is the bearer of the good tidings?
42813By and by she begins talking about one thing and another, and presently she says:''Have you read about these ladies that have disappeared?''
42813Can it be-- Mr. Gimblet, I give you my word I feel ashamed of mentioning such a suspicion even to you-- but can it be that she has fled with another?"
42813Can she be the Madame Q. of the note?
42813Can you give me the assistance I want, or shall I go and find the policeman on this beat?"
42813Can you not guess?
42813Can you tell me how long it is since anyone has been to look at it?"
42813Consumptive?"
42813Could n''t he tell her anyone?
42813Could she and Mrs. Vanderstein have combined to kill their hostess, when they visited the house hired by Mr. West of tropical origin?
42813Could she ever be brought to care for a robber?
42813Could she indeed be sleeping?
42813Could you find your way to it again?"
42813Could you see anything of the inside of the house?"
42813Did Joe see anyone he knew?
42813Did it not occur to you to do so?"
42813Did n''t I say so?
42813Did she want to lose them all by her folly and recklessness?
42813Did you communicate with any of them this morning?"
42813Did you hear anything in Grosvenor Street?"
42813Did you not hear Julie say this evening that she adored jewels?"
42813Did you notice nothing about it to distinguish it from its neighbours?"
42813Did you tell your friend ultimately that, on second thoughts, you did n''t like the idea and had decided to give it up?"
42813Do I make myself perfectly clear?"
42813Do n''t I tell you she telephoned for me last night?
42813Do n''t know if I make myself clear?"
42813Do n''t they look sweet up there?
42813Do n''t you think I am right?"
42813Do n''t you think it would be best if you went home and waited till I came to you?"
42813Do n''t you think you could marry me some day?
42813Do they imagine I''ve spirited away not only Aunt Ruth but Miss Turner too, and am holding them for ransom, or what?
42813Do those two facts suggest nothing to you?
42813Do you know anything against her, by any chance?"
42813Do you know him, sir, or do you not?"
42813Do you know them at all?"
42813Do you know which number it was, and whether the house has been let?"
42813Do you mean to say you ca n''t see who it is?"
42813Do you suppose, then, that I shall allow you to have one?"
42813Do you think the police would believe that I have done it?
42813Do you think"--Sir Gregory''s voice seemed to fail him but he cleared his throat and continued with a gulp--"he''s killed her?"
42813Do you understand?
42813Do you understand?"
42813Do you understand?"
42813Does he live in London?"
42813Expect you found that when you started looking for thieves?
42813For why in the world should she share with Mrs. Vanderstein the attentions of any hypothetical criminal?
42813Gimblet?"
42813Had Miss Finner been mistaken, after all, and was it not they whom she had seen before the door?
42813Had he forgotten anything?
42813Had he got the thing in his hands when he was trying to put his arms round Miss Turner''s neck?
42813Had she suddenly gone off her head?
42813Had she valuable jewels?"
42813Had you any suspicion before that she was thinking of marrying again?"
42813Has n''t she burnt them?
42813Has she told you how she managed to get away?"
42813Have they killed her too?"
42813Have you a little courage, my boy?
42813Have you any idea as to the man with whom you think your mother may have gone off?
42813Have you any idea who are the fiends who did this?"
42813Have you any news for me?
42813Have you any reason to think she did not go alone?
42813Have you been talking to Blake about her?"
42813Have you not a daughter?"
42813He looks dreadfully ill, poor chap; what''s wrong with him?
42813His eyes too, perhaps-- but why pick to pieces a young man who really was, taken altogether, a very fine specimen of his kind?
42813Houses all standing in their own gardens some little way apart from each other?"
42813How can you hint at it?
42813How could she allow the woman''s familiarity?
42813How did you discover the murder, and where?"
42813How was I to know who it came from?
42813How was it possible that she had not thought of it before?
42813How was it you found yourselves in Scholefield Avenue?"
42813How was one to imagine that this was the young lady who was being inquired for?
42813How?
42813I ca n''t say fairer, can I?''
42813I called out once:''Is there anyone there?''
42813I daresay you''ve seen an evening paper?"
42813I daresay, now, yours keeps your nose to the grindstone, at one season as much as another?"
42813I do n''t suppose anyone''s told you that she had a craze for Royalty in any shape?
42813I have not spoken of becoming a nun since father died, have I?"
42813I said;''what do you mean?
42813I suppose he can stand a walk down to Scholefield Avenue?
42813I suppose you have n''t got them yet?"
42813I suppose you have not discovered anything of importance so far?"
42813I suppose your commission from Sir Gregory Aberhyn Jones dies a natural death now?"
42813I suppose, Sir Gregory, that I can be of no further use to you?"
42813I telegraphed early yesterday to Mrs. Vanderstein saying,''Were you at 13 Scholefield Avenue on Monday night, and who else was present?
42813I then said;''has she escaped too?''
42813I was so infuriated at his daring to touch me that I could scarcely speak, but I managed to stammer again:''Is she ill?
42813I wonder if you know what it is?"
42813I wonder where she can have got to?
42813I''ve got me cab down at the door, sir; why do n''t you jump in and let me take you along to see for yourself?"
42813If Mrs. Vanderstein had not played the piteous part of the victim on that fatal Monday night, who had?
42813If you ca n''t go to Mrs. Vanderstein with the truth, ca n''t you go to her with"--she hesitated--"something else?"
42813In going from Hilliard Street to Carolina Road, would you pass through a row of single detached houses on the way?
42813In spite of himself, Amélie''s words echoed in his ears:"Is she not a hairdresser?"
42813In that case what makes you think she did n''t go there?"
42813Is Mrs. Vanderstein ill?''
42813Is it possible that you permit that I speak with you alone?"
42813Is it right that she should flaunt her jewels in the face of the hungry poor?"
42813Is it the one with the flower pendants or the stone drops?"
42813Is n''t she a sweet little affectionate thing?"
42813Is she ill?''
42813Is she not a hairdresser?"
42813Is she not handsome?
42813Is there any other man?"
42813It was that of Mrs. Vanderstein, the poor lady who was murdered at Boulogne yesterday, as perhaps you have seen in the papers?"
42813It would be a pity, would n''t it, for people to say that Julie''s mother was hanged?"
42813It''s a queer thing to happen, is n''t it?
42813It''s not much use saying that now, is it?
42813It''s rather funny if you think of how my uncle made his money, is n''t it?
42813It''s so hard to get noticed, is n''t it?
42813Jennins, are you there?"
42813Julie wo n''t ever forgive me, let alone have anything to do with me, so what have I got to live for?
42813Just lately?"
42813Just ordinary loafers, were they?"
42813Last night?"
42813Let me see, you said she is a tall, dark woman, did you not?"
42813May I offer you some strawberries?
42813No?
42813No?
42813Not much to take, for the sake of gaining a fortune and a charming wife, you must admit?
42813Now about these jewels, can you tell me what your mistress wore last night?
42813Now, before we go any further,"he went on quickly,"what do you wish me to do in the matter?"
42813Now, how are you going to set about it?"
42813Now, how was she going to get a large sum by Wednesday?"
42813On the other hand, who does use that implement in a town like this?
42813One ca n''t help being on his side, can one?
42813Or perhaps your friend Chark would rather think that I was given to poisoning my relations?
42813Perhaps she will be in by luncheon- time?
42813Perhaps to- morrow night you will have more courage?"
42813Perhaps you would like him to come in?"
42813Shall we go back to my flat and see if anything has been heard at the hospitals?"
42813Shall we repeat the comedy which we have just performed?
42813Shall you see him soon?"
42813Should they not be obliged to restore some of that money which they never earned?"
42813Sir Gregory asked him anxiously as they went down, followed at a distance by the clerk,"what did you find by the other sofa?"
42813Still, why has the girl disappeared?
42813Suppose he should in reality have returned to Europe, that he is even now in England, in London, his presence unknown to anyone but his daughter?
42813Suppose that there was no truth in that rumour?
42813Supposing there''s anything in Chark''s suspicions, do n''t you see that the more complete Sidney thinks our ignorance and mystification, the better?
42813Surely it''s not true?''
42813Targon?''
42813Tell me the truth, Mr. Gimblet: do you believe she is dead?"
42813That proves she wishes for my help in some matter of importance to her, and how can I assist her without knowing where she is?"
42813That you brought this woman here in some one else''s carriage, which you stole for the purpose; and that I killed her, I suppose?
42813The chauffeur and footman, you think, may have disposed of them by some means when they were supposed to be driving to the opera?
42813The question is, what do you think he''s done with her?
42813The temptation was too strong, however, and she continued, dropping her voice to a murmur:"You are going to Epsom to- morrow yourself?"
42813Then, may I inquire your reason for thinking that this document bore her inscription?"
42813There is no more news from Burford, I suppose?"
42813There''s something uncommon fishy about her vanishing this way, do n''t you think?
42813They had used it-- as you thought?"
42813To drive?
42813Vanderstein says she wo n''t have the car again this evening,''she said, and,''do you understand, Wilcox?''
42813Vanderstein?"
42813Vanderstein?"
42813Vanderstein?"
42813Was I being taken from one place of incarceration to another?
42813Was he becoming unduly credulous in his old age?
42813Was he mad?
42813Was it the murdered woman who had been shut up in that room?
42813Was she ever beautiful?
42813Was that quite in the usual course?
42813Was there some kind of understanding between you, and what did it amount to?"
42813We are driven back on the supposition that she did so of her own free will; and, if that was the case, what was her purpose?
42813Well, who did he know?
42813Well, who is Madame Q.?
42813West?"
42813What are the odds?"
42813What can I do with it?
42813What can they have done with themselves?
42813What could he be going to do with a rope?
42813What could he want with a loose chintz sofa cover?"
42813What did they mean by shutting me in this room?
42813What do you remember about that sofa?"
42813What do you say to that?
42813What do you say?
42813What do you say?
42813What do you say?"
42813What do you suppose I care for my ideas, as you call them?
42813What does a sum like that matter?
42813What for?
42813What had he been thinking of to bring that girl to the house?
42813What had she meant by saying good luck was coming his way?
42813What have I been about?
42813What horse is it?"
42813What is he like?"
42813What is she like?"
42813What is your nerve like, Mr. Brampton?
42813What makes you think so?
42813What possessed her not to stay quietly in her room?
42813What price the police?"
42813What then, Bert?
42813What was happening upstairs?
42813What was it he smelt?
42813What was it, that sort of low, muffled panting?
42813What was she doing, kneeling by the sofa?
42813What was she wearing?
42813What was the matter with her?
42813What will happen then?
42813What will you tell them, eh?
42813What would Julie say?
42813What would she do without him if he disappeared as he threatened?
42813What would she do without the only man friend of anything like her own age whom she knew in London and whose tastes so much resembled her own?
42813What would she do without the only person in the world she cared to see?
42813What would the pearl fisher do, or those who dig precious stones out of the earth?
42813What, in heaven''s name, had Mrs. Vanderstein and Miss Turner been doing in that house on Monday night?
42813What, indeed, as he said, had he to live for?
42813When did the lady vanish?
42813When they left the ward Gimblet asked:"How was it Miss Turner was not recognised till to- day?"
42813Where do you think she can possibly be?
42813Where?"
42813Wherein do we differ?
42813While, as soon as he knows us to be on the track, we lose any advantage we may have?"
42813Who are the Mills?
42813Who by?
42813Who can account for a woman''s whims?
42813Who can have said anything of me in an omnibus?"
42813Who is it from?"
42813Who knows how long they will continue?
42813Who more fitted to be the first to contribute some of their ill- gotten gains in return?
42813Who was that?
42813Who would ever suspect evil in so calm and bright an oasis among the mazes of dusty, traffic- worn streets which surrounded it on every hand?
42813Whose fingers were they, he wondered, which had left so many imprints?
42813Why did she display no anxiety on Miss Turner''s account?
42813Why does one suffer them?
42813Why had Madame Querterot looked as she did when she saw me on the doorstep?
42813Why not say that you have been hiding from me in fear of your own life, all these days?
42813Why should Mrs. Vanderstein have secrets with this horrid little Frenchwoman and leave her out in the cold?
42813Why should he?
42813Why should there be need to escape?
42813Why was the man afraid?
42813Why, when she got to Boulogne, did she not communicate with her friends until yesterday?
42813Will she not be angry with you for trying to discover her movements if she wishes them unknown?"
42813Will you never be any nicer to me?"
42813Will you not read it aloud?
42813Will you not take a glass of lemonade before supper?"
42813Will you put my name in the paper now?
42813With such a man to instigate her to crime, who can say what the girl might not venture?
42813Would Bert help her there?
42813Would Monsieur go up?
42813Would he come?
42813Would he come?
42813Would it be too much trouble?"
42813Yet how could she reassure him without betraying herself and the great idea?
42813You agree with me there?
42813You are engaged to marry her?"
42813You ask me why?
42813You did quarrel with her, did n''t you?
42813You do n''t suppose I am ashamed of it?
42813You have n''t caught them, have you?"
42813You know him, do n''t you?"
42813You remember my talking to you at supper- time about a lady, a very wealthy lady, one of my clientele?"
42813You wish to marry her, is it not so?"
42813Your difficulties have not so far been removed?"
42813_ Aïe, aïe!_ what to do?"
42813and, as Gimblet only shook his head:"How can such a thing be possible here in civilised London?
42813have n''t you seen the paper?
42813he asked,"what is that on the floor?"
42813she asked,"and are n''t his manners lovely?
42813the car was not to go back after the performance?"
42813the poor one, what have they done to her?"
48034Against whom?
48034Alone?
48034And cheat me?
48034And did n''t find the victim there, eh?
48034And escaped? 48034 And he will look for me here, eh?"
48034And she sent Merle across the sea to kill him?
48034And taken care of?
48034And the other-- the woman?
48034And you?
48034Are you cowards, men?
48034Back once more, eh, Riggs?
48034Back, are you, Merle?
48034Belle Demona?
48034Belle Demona?
48034But Riggs,said Waters,"is he back?"
48034But he kept the secret, did he? 48034 But he''s not in Melbourne, I hope?"
48034But if she should find it out?
48034But you can meet her without help, ca n''t you?
48034But you inferred, Jem, that the old cove was the enemy of our mistress, Belle Demona?
48034But you were there when I left?
48034But,smiled Old Broadbrim,"how did you know where to find me?"
48034By the officers of the home government? 48034 Ca n''t you guess, Waters?"
48034Can it be that my espionage ends almost before the bargain is cold? 48034 Can it be?"
48034Could we find it among his effects, think you?
48034Did he do it?
48034Did he find the doomed nabob in New York, and did he carry out his promise to Belle Demona? 48034 Did he go willingly?"
48034Did he tell you?
48034Did it take place in Melbourne?
48034Did n''t I?
48034Did the ocean get him? 48034 Did you find her?"
48034Did you make the test?
48034Did you see my letter?
48034Did you see the girl?
48034Did you tell her?
48034Do I hate the beautiful serpent over there, and the man who does her bidding? 48034 Do n''t you sleep good?"
48034Do you know what came in the letter last night?
48034Do you remember from what particular part, Miss Nora?
48034Do you think Merle would cross the sea to serve Belle Demona?
48034Do you think the girl is here?
48034Does she know it?
48034Does the bird hate the hawk that robs the nest?
48034Even if the trail leads across the sea?
48034Eyes like who?
48034For her? 48034 He committed a crime, did n''t he, sir?"
48034He expected it, then?
48034He traveled through the Continent, then?
48034Help? 48034 Here-- on the ranch?"
48034Here?
48034His papers?
48034How do you like it?
48034How so, Waters?
48034How the government''s spotter?
48034How''s Round Robin?
48034How''s the pit?
48034How''s the ranch?
48034How?
48034How?
48034I wonder what the old man has to say?
48034If he is an American detective he will know something about Jason Marrow, wo n''t he?
48034If this be true, in Heaven''s name who are you?
48034If who want you, Merle?
48034In Australia?
48034In danger? 48034 In the one the boy brought from Perth?"
48034In what shape?
48034In your house?
48034Indeed?
48034Is it a bargain?
48034Is it anything?
48034Is it murder?
48034Is it that good?
48034Is it to be a trail across the water?
48034Is it you, Tom?
48034Is n''t it worth fighting for?
48034Is that message from that part of the world?
48034Is the man mad? 48034 It is the chamber under the house, eh?"
48034It is to be''no quarter,''is it?
48034It''s a bargain, eh?
48034It''s a bargain, eh?
48034Left-- Ranch Robin?
48034Like a fool? 48034 Looking for you?"
48034Might we look at the room, madam?
48034My card was all you found, miss?
48034No, no, Merle, my boy, but why have you been tracked?
48034Not alive, Captain Merle?
48034Not so soon, I hope?
48034Now, sir, why did you shadow me?
48034Oh, he''s a foreigner, is he?
48034Oh, it''s you, is it, Tom?
48034On something better? 48034 On the black list, eh?"
48034On the water, you mean?
48034One of his own?
48034Riggs, will you go to Perth for me?
48034Riggs?
48034Roland Riggs?
48034Shall a Yankee spotter kidnap from under your very eyes the captain of Ranch Robin? 48034 She asked you to do her a favor, did n''t she?"
48034She has been in London?
48034She was here, then, was she? 48034 Should I leave Riggs here alone?"
48034So he is on the trail,he cried;"so this ferret from afar is on the hunt?
48034So they''ve caught him? 48034 So you went up to London with Merle when he set out on the mission across the sea?"
48034Sober?
48034Stareyes? 48034 Stareyes?"
48034Sure? 48034 Suspicious, eh?"
48034That rascal?
48034That''s all right, but why did n''t you say so at the start? 48034 The ranch queen?
48034The right trail?
48034Then, you are going to take the trail and beat Hargraves and Irwin to the end of it?
48034Then,said Old Broadbrim, looking down into the girl''s eyes,"why do n''t you let me take him?"
48034Those documents, eh?
48034To Melbourne?
48034To his everlasting sorrow?
48034To kill him?
48034To look at whom?
48034To the stables, did you say?
48034Too much to do on Round Robin Ranch? 48034 Wait till you see Merle, the murderer----""What, did you find him?"
48034Was he an Englishman?
48034Was that marked paper in Belle Demona''s room?
48034Waters,said Old Broadbrim, slowly,"what would you do if you had a chance to take that man?"
48034Waters?
48034We will catch this man; we will land him in New York, eh?
48034Well, what else, Waters? 48034 Well?"
48034Well?
48034Well?
48034What a strange name it is, and do n''t you see that the handwriting is that of one of my sex? 48034 What did I start out to do, Clippers, my boy?"
48034What did I track you across the sea for, if I do n''t intend to hand you over to American justice?
48034What did she say to you, Jem?
48034What did you call me?
48034What did you do?
48034What do you think of Merle?
48034What do you think?
48034What for?
48034What girl?
48034What have I done?
48034What have you done?
48034What is he like?
48034What is it, Clippers?
48034What is it?
48034What is it?
48034What makes you think so?
48034What means this?
48034What was it, Waters?
48034What was that man''s name?
48034What was?
48034What would I do for vengeance?
48034What''s become of him?
48034What, does she bother you yet?
48034What, the person who incurred Belle''s vengeance at Monaco?
48034When did you come in?
48034When did you get that name?
48034When did you go to London, Jem?
48034When does the next steamer depart for Melbourne, or for that part of the globe?
48034When he went to the United States?
48034When who comes back?
48034When?
48034Where are you, Waters?
48034Where did Jason come from, Clippers?
48034Where have you been cut?
48034Where is he now?
48034Where is he?
48034Where is he?
48034Where is he?
48034Where is the mine?
48034Where''s the money?
48034Where?
48034Which horse will you ride?
48034Whither?
48034Who had wronged her?
48034Who has cause to know him better?
48034Who is Roger Reef?
48034Who is he?
48034Who is to do it? 48034 Who loaded the revolvers?"
48034Who paid you best?
48034Who pays you to watch people on the street?
48034Who told you so?
48034Who was the traitor?
48034Who, Merle?
48034Who-- the bandits?
48034Whom do I look like? 48034 Why ca n''t I pick up this man who is wanted in New York?
48034Why ca n''t you?
48034Why did n''t you kill him?
48034Why not begin it here?
48034Why not in the light?
48034Why not make up the story here, Jem?
48034Why not see if our friend, the murderer, is to be a passenger?
48034Why not?
48034Why should I visit you?
48034Why should I?
48034Why?
48034Will I have to lie here in agony that long?
48034Would you know how much is here? 48034 Yes, you are the detective whom I sent for?"
48034You are Josiah Broadbrim?
48034You ca n''t mean that I am expected to silence the girl?
48034You ca n''t take it?
48034You came in a little behind him?
48034You did n''t come out here just to guard a few sheep and a ranch house? 48034 You did n''t let Jason escape with the secret, I hope?"
48034You do n''t know him, then?
48034You do n''t like it, Dick?
48034You do n''t mind a little by- play, eh Riggs?
48034You do n''t, eh? 48034 You found him?"
48034You found that out, did you?
48034You got good men?
48034You have seen them, then? 48034 You heard it, girl?
48034You knew the mother, did you?
48034You know him, Jem?
48034You know him?
48034You know me, Meg?
48034You mean in what part of Australia, miss?
48034You must have met the man called Riggs?
48034You must know something of the cities, Miss Belle?
48034You refuse, do you?
48034You saw him fighting the fire?
48034You say you saved Riggs?
48034You want Merle, eh?
48034You''re not afraid to swear loyalty to the bitter end?
48034You''re not going to retire?
48034You''re not his confidant, then?
48034You''re sure he went down, Danny?
48034You''re the gentleman, I guess? 48034 You''ve left Melbourne, I see?"
48034You''ve seen her, have you?
48034You? 48034 You?
48034You?
48034You?
48034Your vengeance?
48034All''s well out here, I suppose?"
48034Am I not merciful?"
48034And why was it marked?"
48034And you''ve flooded it?"
48034Are we united in this affair?"
48034As she crossed the threshold she clutched the old woman''s arm and almost hissed:"Where is he?"
48034Broadbrim?"
48034Broadbrim?"
48034Broadbrim?"
48034Broadbrim?"
48034But first tell me what fetches you out here?
48034But if he had known this would he have shrunk?
48034But what is the name?"
48034But what, think you, took him to America?"
48034But where is the detective?
48034But who warned us?"
48034By whom?
48034Ca n''t you make out, Captain Merle?"
48034Could you go back to Melbourne to- morrow?"
48034Crossed the sea to play it, eh?
48034Dead in the library?
48034Did Merle tell you to come to Perth to watch me?"
48034Did he confess?"
48034Did n''t I see him lying in the bottom of the pit with my own eyes?"
48034Did n''t you notice while he talked last night that he avoided references to his life in America?"
48034Did n''t you send him a letter?"
48034Did she guess who they were?
48034Did she keep track of him all this time?
48034Did you make sure of the tracker?"
48034Do I have the appearance of a housebreaker or a ticket- of- leave man, that I should be tracked from London?"
48034Do I look like an assassin?
48034Had he been suspected and was the old enemy about to unmask him?
48034Had he gone to Melbourne for the purpose of looking into the pit- trap in Old Danny''s den, or had he stopped in Perth?
48034Had he not left Waters on guard at the ranch?
48034Had she finished the career of Stareyes, the fair avenger?
48034Had they wormed the truth out of Dick Waters?
48034Have I lost my man and justice her prey?"
48034He moved away and she continued:"Merle told you to stop in Perth?"
48034How are the natives?"
48034How can I see a man who is at the bottom of Old Danny''s pit?"
48034How had it come into Jason Marrow''s possession?
48034How''s the Queen and Round Robin Ranch?"
48034I''ll find this man if he is to be found; but how did he get out?
48034If Danny had reached the floor beneath then why not he, too?
48034If Rufus Redmond was on the sea, who would play spy for him now?
48034If he had, had he thought of him, and would he look for the man who had become his ally?
48034If the other fellows, Hargraves or Irwin, get at fault you wo n''t refuse to join in the hunt for the murderer of poor Marrow?"
48034If you could get into her private rooms----""You have n''t been bold enough to try to get there, Waters?"
48034If you refuse to do his bidding he hands you over to the authorities?"
48034In the big house or in the little one?
48034In the saddle, as he settled himself as if for a dash, he turned to his captor and said:"Do you hope to take me out of Australia?"
48034Is he asleep?"
48034Is n''t it terrible?
48034Is she in the city?"
48034Is that her name?"
48034It was over, but what had Merle discovered?
48034It''ll do, wo n''t it?"
48034Jem is here?"
48034Look here, Riggs, why was that paper in that room?
48034Look out for him near Ranch Robin?
48034Merle Macray, who listened to these words from the lips of Belle Demona of Round Robin Ranch, turned a trifle pale, and then said:"Is he dead?"
48034Merle''s look said:"How?"
48034Merle?"
48034Old Broadbrim On the Trail of the Iron Frog; or, Who Killed Percy Manson?
48034On a deeper mystery than the death of Jason Marrow?"
48034Out of the pit?
48034She must be warned; but how?
48034Should he tell this girl of the crime on Fifth Avenue?
48034That''s why you are here, is it?
48034The front door was unlocked when I went thither after the discovery in this room, but---- What is it, Simpson?"
48034The gaze of the young girl fell upon the paper, and Old Broadbrim continued:"Did Mr. Kipp ever have any correspondents in Australia?"
48034Their name was on the jewel box--''Tiffany& Co.,''is n''t it?"
48034Then who would have thought that the tracker would come out in Lord Harway''s yacht?"
48034There was a laugh in reply, and then Broadbrim heard the voice of Merle Macray:"What do you think I''ve done, Danny Minks?
48034There were voices beyond the walls of the house, and he heard some one say:"Chased from London, eh?
48034To die in a trap like that?
48034Twenty thousand for his safe arrival in New York?
48034Was Rufus Redmond still in London, or had he eluded Tom?
48034Was he safe, or had the fire found its way to him and put an end to his career?
48034Was this man to beat him and come out of the affair victor after all?
48034Watched?
48034What could he say?
48034What did Merle Macray do there?"
48034What did Merle mean about the tenth step?
48034What did he do in America?
48034What did it mean, and was it a decoy?
48034What had become of Belle Demona?
48034What had become of Jem?
48034What had he done?
48034What has become of Roland Riggs?"
48034What have you been up to now?"
48034What if Riggs should tell Belle Demona that he had broken his promise?
48034What if he should discover that you are not Roland Riggs, but the hunter from across the sea?
48034What if he should discover this?
48034What is this invisible fear which almost paralyzes him?
48034What made him take the lantern last night and enter the guardhouse?
48034What made you quit your own country?
48034When he came back, of course he acquainted you with the result of his mission?"
48034When he was out of their hands?
48034When?"
48034Where are they?"
48034Where did the occupant of the alley den get hold of it, and what did he know of the man it represented?
48034Where is it?"
48034Where is this suspected man?"
48034Where should he look?
48034Where''s the money?
48034Which horse?"
48034Who is he?"
48034Who is he?"
48034Who is not?"
48034Whom do you serve in this part of the island?"
48034Whom should he suspect?
48034Whom would he obey-- master or mistress?
48034Whose face was it and from whence had it come?
48034Why did n''t I look for myself before quitting Melbourne?
48034Why did n''t the monster permit him to round out the year?"
48034Why had he undertaken to hunt a man like Merle Macray all over the world?
48034Why with his keen eyes did he look over the sleeping men there?
48034Will you accept?"
48034Will you go, Riggs?"
48034Wo n''t she make a good companion for him?
48034Wo n''t you come with me?
48034Would it be altogether wise to acquaint her with the real secret of his mission?
48034Yes, that''s right; but hang it all, Riggs, when a fellow is better paid to stop here, why should n''t he?"
48034You did n''t find her, Riggs?"
48034You did n''t take that trip to the States, then?"
48034You did not see her in Melbourne or Perth?"
48034You do this for me, wo n''t you, Jem?"
48034You know the tenth step?"
48034You see what chances we took when we came to this place?
48034You understand, Riggs?"
48034You were not watching me, not keeping track of me?
48034You''re Josiah Broadbrim?"
48034You''re ready for anything that promises to pay well, are n''t you?"
48034You''re ready, of course, for the battle?"
48034You''ve been at home all spring, eh?"
48034and was the girl a charred heap of bones under the ruins of the old sheds?
48034why did I bind myself for a year to play Cerberus for Custer Kipp?"
5094A fight?
5094A package?
5094Ah-- then there is some one else you care more to dance with?
5094And it is?
5094And then?
5094And you say there was nothing else in it?
5094And you think you can trace it out?
5094And you-- you went over everything about the wharf?
5094And you?
5094Another intruder?
5094Are n''t you going to follow?
5094Are n''t you going to play?
5094Are you getting anything now?
5094Are you hurt much?
5094Are you quite sure it is for me?
5094Are you ready to go ahead?
5094Are you ready, my dear?
5094Are you ready?
5094Beg pardon, old man,I began,"but do n''t you think this is just a little raw?
5094But how?
5094But what are you going to do, now?
5094But what do you suppose this is-- and who sent it to me-- and why?
5094But who is it?
5094Ca n''t we drive you back?
5094Ca n''t you see I''m harming no one?
5094Can we outdistance the submarine?
5094Did any of you take the torpedo?
5094Did you get a clue?
5094Did you get it?
5094Did you get them?
5094Did you put it there?
5094Did you see a man, masked, come out here?
5094Did you want to see him?
5094Do n''t you remember-- that ring? 5094 Do you mean that you are a magician?"
5094Do you recognize it?
5094Do you remember what became of the bottle of digitalin?
5094Do you tell a good fortune reasonably?
5094Do you think you can reach him?
5094Do you want to kill her?
5094Do you-- do you really mean it?
5094Ever see anything like that?
5094Excuse me just a moment, Mr. Del Mar?
5094Find anything?
5094Follow? 5094 For me-- are you sure?"
5094Has Walter been scratching his ear?
5094Have you a little stimulant?
5094Have you been able to find out anything yet?
5094Have you brought the map with you?
5094Have you discovered anything?
5094Have you ever seen anything that looks like this?
5094Have you heard from him yet?
5094Have you received any word yet?
5094Her?
5094How are you now?
5094How are you, sergeant?
5094How came it here?
5094How did you get that?
5094How do you do?
5094How do you feel?
5094How do you feel?
5094How do you suppose it ever got here?
5094How does that sound?
5094How is he?
5094How is she working?
5094How?
5094I beg your pardon,I excused myself to the alleged Mr. Bailey,"but may I speak to Miss Dodge alone just a minute?"
5094I hope there''s nothing wrong?
5094I may hope, then?
5094I suppose a preparation for the fox or drag hunting season?
5094I wonder what that can be?
5094I wonder where they are taking them?
5094Ill again?
5094Is Lieutenant Woodward in?
5094Is Miss Elaine in?
5094Is Mr. Del Mar at home?
5094Is Mr. Del Mar in?
5094Is Mr. Kennedy there?
5094Is Professor Kennedy here?
5094Is everything ready?
5094Is he? 5094 Is that you, Godowski?"
5094Is the Professor out on his boat?
5094Is this Miss Dodge?
5094It is for Miss Elaine?
5094Look,she cried, as I read with her: Do honest assistants search safes?
5094May I get you an ice?
5094May I go with you?
5094May I go with you?
5094May we join you?
5094Mind?
5094Miss Dodge?
5094Miss Dodge?
5094Miss Dodge?
5094Miss Elaine Dodge?
5094Mr. Del Mar?
5094Mr. Del Mar?
5094Mr. Kennedy,she said,"may I trouble you and Mr. Jameson a moment?"
5094Mr. Kennedy? 5094 My dressing- table?"
5094Nearly through?
5094No interference?
5094On the yacht, are they?
5094Professor Arnold?
5094Really?
5094See?
5094Shall I tell them you are here, sir?
5094So-- you have found him at last?
5094Stolen?
5094Tell me, quick-- how did it happen?
5094Tell me,she appealed to Dr. Godowski,"what is the matter?"
5094The house you bought for Aunt Tabby, once belonged to Bennett, did n''t it?
5094Then there is no test, none?
5094Then you do n''t know of his escape?
5094Then-- er-- you are not ill again?
5094They-- they did n''t cut the cable-- did they?
5094Walter,she said,"may I speak to you a moment?
5094Was he a traitor?
5094Well, Rusty?
5094Well, gentlemen,greeted Kennedy as he met the two detectives,"what can I do for you?"
5094Well, what do you know about that?
5094Well, what do you think of that?
5094Well, what luck?
5094Well,demanded Woodward,"what''s your business?"
5094Well,queried Aunt Josephine,"what are you going to do?"
5094Well-- of all things-- what''s this, and where did it come from?
5094Well?
5094Well?
5094Well?
5094Well?
5094Wh- what was it?
5094Wh- where did I get that?
5094What are you doing here alone?
5094What are you doing?
5094What are you going to do with it?
5094What are you going to do?
5094What brings you here? 5094 What can a crude drawing of a sunrise on the sea mean?"
5094What can that have been?
5094What caused it?
5094What could have happened to Walter?
5094What do you see?
5094What do you suppose it is?
5094What do you think it is, Walter?
5094What do you think of it, Walter?
5094What does it all mean?
5094What does it mean?
5094What does it mean?
5094What does it mean?
5094What have we here?
5094What is it, Rusty?
5094What is it, do you suppose?
5094What is it?
5094What is it?
5094What is it?
5094What is it?
5094What is it?
5094What is it?
5094What is it?
5094What is the trouble, Miss Dodge?
5094What luck?
5094What of this?
5094What seems to be the difficulty?
5094What seems to be the matter?
5094What shall I do?
5094What shall we do?
5094What shall we do?
5094What shall we do?
5094What time is it?
5094What was the matter?
5094What would Craig do?
5094What''s doing?
5094What''s that noise?
5094What''s that-- an oyster boat?
5094What''s that?
5094What''s that?
5094What''s that?
5094What''s that?
5094What''s that?
5094What''s that?
5094What''s the matter now?
5094What''s the matter, Walter?
5094What''s the matter, old man?
5094What''s the matter, old man?
5094What''s the matter?
5094What''s the matter?
5094What''s the trouble?
5094What''s this? 5094 When are we going to see the wonderful invention, Craig?"
5094When did this thing come on Walter?
5094Where am I?
5094Where are YOU going?
5094Where are they-- where''s the tramp?
5094Where are they?
5094Where are you going?
5094Where did it come from?
5094Where did you say you got that?
5094Where is Mr. Del Mar?
5094Where is the master?
5094Where there should have been seven million dollars,he muttered to himself,"why is there only a mystic ring?"
5094Where''s Elaine?
5094Where''s Elaine?
5094Where''s Elaine?
5094Where''s HE going?
5094Where''s the prisoner?
5094Which way did they take him?
5094Who goes there?
5094Who is it, do you think?
5094Who is this?
5094Who the deuce did this?
5094Who''s that?
5094Who''s that?
5094Why do n''t you have your fortune told by Ancient Anna?
5094Why not set it up in the library?
5094Why not-- down cellar?
5094Why, Craig,cried Elaine, startled,"what''s the matter?"
5094Why, how do you do?
5094Why, what did he say?
5094Why, what do you mean?
5094Why, what do you suppose he can want?
5094Why, what is the matter?
5094Why, what''s all this about?
5094Why, what''s the matter, Jameson?
5094Why, what''s the matter?
5094Why, where in the world did you get those togs?
5094Why,she gasped, clutching at the desk,"what is the matter?"
5094Why?
5094Will she always cross my path? 5094 Will you excuse me a moment?"
5094Will you go?
5094Wo n''t you come and stay with me a few days up in the country, dear?
5094Wo n''t you come in?
5094Wo n''t you take this ice?
5094Would she care to engage a magician?
5094Would you go?
5094Would you mind answering a few questions about these men?
5094Would you mind getting that torpedo ready?
5094Yes, I''ll see them,he said, then to us,"Please excuse me?"
5094Yes?
5094You are Professor Arnold''s man?
5094You have them here, then?
5094You just left them?
5094You knew me?
5094You know this fellow Del Mar?
5094You must infect every instrument the doctor uses on Kennedy and Jameson,--see?
5094You will excuse me?
5094You''ll join us at the Wilkeshire hunt in a paper chase this afternoon, surely, Mr. Del Mar?
5094You''ve got to get it, see?
5094And you?"
5094Are my things packed?
5094Are you ready?"
5094But was he there?
5094But what about the ring?
5094But what business of theirs was it?
5094But which way?
5094CHAPTER X THE CONSPIRATORS"You remember Lieutenant Woodward, the inventor of trodite?"
5094Ca n''t you follow them and keep them out of trouble?"
5094Can it be done?"
5094Could it be one of the sentries?
5094Do you want us all to get caught?"
5094Dodge, is n''t it?"
5094Excuse us, please?"
5094Had his plans been carried out?
5094Had she found anything?
5094Had that uncanny watching eye observed his every action?
5094Had the appointment been a hoax, after all, a scheme to get him away from the city for some purpose?
5094Had the man been after the other model?
5094How can we follow?"
5094How could he get into that room?
5094How''s that?"
5094I exclaimed,"What''s that?"
5094Is Miss Dodge at home?"
5094Jameson?"
5094Joshua says its haunts--""Haunts?"
5094Kennedy?"
5094Kennedy?"
5094M.''Now, what''s all that?"
5094Marie, will you look for it?
5094Shall I send for a doctor?"
5094Should he go out?
5094Suppose Craig is n''t about?
5094Then to the man, as he entered, he said,"Well, what''s new?"
5094Was Elaine there?
5094Was he merely torturing her, as a cat might torture a mouse?
5094Was he running off with her car while she was waiting inside the hotel?
5094Was he the automobile thief?
5094Was it an hallucination, born of my nervous condition?
5094Was it staring at him now in the blackness?
5094Was it the hideous helmeted face that had dragged her down into the sewer once?
5094Was it the work of human or superhuman hands?
5094Was she a clever actress, hiding her discovery, he wondered?
5094Was that Aunt Tabby''s"haunt"?
5094Was that all?
5094Was that face real, or a dream face?
5094Was this the end of their great expectations?
5094Was this the person he expected, or a"plant?"
5094Were Bennett''s millions merely mythical?
5094Were they under the floor?
5094What could he do?
5094What could it be?
5094What could they do?
5094What did it all mean?
5094What did it mean?
5094What did it mean?
5094What had he done?
5094What if it should go off?
5094What might at any moment be happening to Elaine-- and he powerless to help her?
5094What mischief was afoot?
5094What should he do?
5094What should he do?
5094What should she do?
5094What should she do?
5094What was it about?
5094What was it, I asked myself, that he should be so secret about it?
5094What was it?
5094What was it?
5094What was that roaring noise?
5094What''s it all about?"
5094Where was Craig?
5094Where was Del Mar?
5094Where was Elaine?
5094Where was Elaine?
5094Where was it?
5094Who could be below?
5094Who was he?
5094Who was this?
5094Who''s going to do this, if Walter and I do n''t?"
5094Who-- what was he?
5094Wo n''t you be seated?"
5094Wo n''t you sit down?"
5094Would Kennedy''s invention for which Del Mar had dared so much in the first place prove his final undoing?
5094Would they get him?
5094Would they never get it?
5094Would we be in time?
5094You understand?"
5094he demanded sharply,"what''s all this?"
4233A little affair of this sort, eh, Mr. Cecil? 4233 Abroad?"
4233Alone?
4233And French books, too, De Maupassant and De Musset?
4233And Miss Le Mesurier?
4233And Mr. Andrew de la Borne?
4233And he understands the position?
4233And how, may I ask, do you propose to live?
4233And that is?
4233And that?
4233And there is nothing to tell me?
4233And what about me?
4233And what had you,she asked,"to say to Monsieur Laplanche?"
4233And what is that?
4233And what might they be?
4233And when are you of age?
4233And when, may I ask,Engleton continued,"do you propose to put into operation your amiable plan?"
4233And will he?
4233Annette,she said coldly,"did you misunderstand me?
4233Anything else?
4233Are those rabbits?
4233Are we to take this, Lord Ronald,she asked,"as a serious accusation?"
4233Are you a fisherman?
4233Are you coming with us?
4233Are you in earnest?
4233Are you poor?
4233Are you ready, Forrest? 4233 Are you sure of your own knowledge,"Andrew asked,"that he is really a person of good repute and against whom there have been no scandalous reports?"
4233Are you sure,he asked,"that you believe that there is any one in the world who would be content to take you without a penny?"
4233But Kate,Cecil interrupted,"why did you come like this?
4233But how do you know?
4233But what are we going to do?
4233But what is there to wait for?
4233But what on earth have you been doing?
4233But who is this young man, De la Borne?
4233But, Ena,he said,"if he really does shell out, wo n''t you be sailing rather close to the wind?"
4233By the by, Mr. De la Borne,the Princess asked,"how much longer are you going to stay in London?"
4233By the by, do you know that Engleton has never turned up?
4233By the by, where is your home, Mr. De la Borne?
4233By the by,he said,"do you know who is here this evening?"
4233By the by,the Duke asked,"what has become of your brother''s friends?
4233Ca n''t you feel the spray on your cheeks? 4233 Ca n''t you see that he has fainted?
4233Ca n''t you see,she answered,"that he is simply a silly boy?
4233Ca n''t you see?
4233Ca n''t you speak, you d----d young fool?
4233Can I give him any message?
4233Can I help you? 4233 Can you get out now at the other end?"
4233Can you tell me if this is the Red Hall, my man-- Mr. De la Borne''s place?
4233Cecil,he said,"are you quite sure that your guests are worth the trouble you have taken to entertain them?
4233Could we not go to the village,she asked,"and change into your boat?"
4233Could you take that on?
4233Did any one,Andrew asked slowly,"see Lord Ronald in the car on his way to the station?"
4233Did she drop from the clouds?
4233Did you know,she asked,"who your lodger really was?"
4233Did you see the way he looked at me? 4233 Did you want me particularly?"
4233Do I look so hot?
4233Do n''t you notice,he whispered,"that we can hear the wind much plainer here than in the passage?
4233Do n''t you think we could get our host in?
4233Do the fishermen in Norfolk read Shakespeare and Keats?
4233Do you hunt?
4233Do you know him?
4233Do you know that there are two detectives now in Salthouse? 4233 Do you know-- anything definite?"
4233Do you live in the village?
4233Do you mean a dandified- looking boy whom you were driving with in the Park yesterday?
4233Do you mean it?
4233Do you mean noises in the house?
4233Do you mean that literally?
4233Do you mean that you live quite alone?
4233Do you mean this, Cecil?
4233Do you mean to insinuate,the Princess remarked,"that I know where Jeanne is now?
4233Do you mean,he asked,"that you intend to remain here now?"
4233Do you not love to feel the spray on your cheeks, Mr. Andrew? 4233 Do you object to my writing?"
4233Do you race with your motor cars?
4233Do you really mean it?
4233Do you suppose that any one knows where she is? 4233 Do you suppose,"she asked quietly,"that it is the Engleton affair?"
4233Do you think that no one can wear town clothes except yourself?
4233Do you think that we have made away with Engleton? 4233 Do you want a permanent job?"
4233Do you wish me to answer that question?
4233Do you wonder,he asked,"that a man is sometimes depressed who is born the heir to a house like that, and to fortunes very similar?"
4233Do you?
4233Does he play cards with you?
4233Does that matter?
4233Does that mean--?
4233Ena,he said, dropping his voice a little,"what are you going to do with that child?
4233Ena,he said,"I suppose that you trust Cecil de la Borne?
4233Ena,he said,"you mean it?"
4233Feeling better, Engleton?
4233For shooting pigeons?
4233Go?
4233Had n''t you-- a half brother?
4233Has Mr. Berners left his servant here?
4233Has any one seen anything of Jeanne?
4233Has he gone back there yet?
4233Has that young idiot of a brother of yours been making a fool of himself?
4233Has the luncheon gong gone?
4233Has your friend gone?
4233Have I offended you?
4233Have I offended you?
4233Have any large cheques been presented against your brother''s account?
4233Have the cards been going against you?
4233Have the detectives any clue at all?
4233Have you any idea in your head that Ronald has come to any harm at the Red Hall?
4233Have you any one in your mind?
4233Have you anything definite to suggest? 4233 Have you been idiot enough to really care for this man?"
4233Have you come down to see how I amuse myself during the long evenings? 4233 Have you ever done any big game shooting?"
4233Have you ever tried to go away for a time?
4233Have you got everything?
4233Have you not heard?
4233Have you seen anything of the Princess in town?
4233He asked you no questions at all about anything which may have happened at the Red Hall?
4233His income,Jeanne said,"scarcely matters, does it?
4233How about Engleton? 4233 How am I to live,"he demanded,"away from the card- tables?
4233How can you help me, or any one,she demanded,"unless you can take me away from these people?
4233How can you say that? 4233 How did he get to Lynn Station that morning?"
4233How do you do, Mr. De la Borne?
4233How far is this place?
4233How long are we going to stop here?
4233How much farther?
4233I am a great heiress, am I not?
4233I am ready now,she said, standing up,"but must we go to Dorchester House?
4233I have n''t been there since the morning, have you?
4233I may stay for tea, may I?
4233I never thought that you would get it, but he paid up every cent, did n''t he?
4233I say, Forrest, what do you think of this sort of thing?
4233I suppose,Forrest remarked thoughtfully,"this young De la Borne has no people living with him, guardians, or that sort of thing?"
4233I suppose,he said,"you are sure that this man Andrew is really what he professes to be, and not a masquerader?"
4233I trust,she said,"that my charming ward has not been unkind?"
4233I wonder,she asked, a little timidly,"why you are so kind to me?"
4233If Miss Le Mesurier was unable to leave the island, how was it that you came?
4233If my fortune is really gone,she said,"why do you let people talk about it, and write about me in the papers as though I were still so rich?"
4233If this be true,she said,"how is it that every one speaks of me as being a great heiress?"
4233Is Cecil getting braver?
4233Is Forrest still with you?
4233Is it a game, this?
4233Is it for no other reason, miss,she asked,"that you have come back?"
4233Is it likely,he demanded,"that that should drive her away from her home?
4233Is it that?
4233Is n''t that worth something?
4233Is that all you have to say?
4233Is that all?
4233Is that all?
4233Is that your home?
4233Is there anything like it in the world?
4233Is this man your brother?
4233Is this true, madam?
4233It is all very well,the Count answered,"but the money I have advanced you?"
4233It looks charming,she said, a little doubtfully,"but is n''t it lonely?"
4233Jeanne my child,she added,"is it really you?"
4233Jeanne,she exclaimed weakly,"what has become of you?"
4233Kate,she said,"how did Mr. Andrew get the message that brought him to the Red Hall last night?"
4233Madame,she said,"did I not say so to monsieur?
4233Mademoiselle Jeanne is more reasonable, eh? 4233 May I ask,"the Princess inquired,"who Major Forrest''s traducers have been?"
4233May I come into the kitchen, please?
4233Mr. Andrew de la Borne is not here now, is he?
4233Mr. De la Borne,he said,"may I appeal to you, as it is your house, to allow me egress from it?"
4233My dear Cecil, do you realize that you have kept us waiting nearly an hour?
4233My dear Lord Ronald,she said,"is this a joke?
4233Nigel,she exclaimed hastily,"is everything all right?"
4233Nigel,she said,"how much longer?"
4233No change of any sort?
4233No complaint, or scandal, or anything of that sort?
4233Now, if you please, my dear Mr. Andrew,she said,"will you tell me what it is that you have done to my foolish little girl?"
4233Of his brother, then?
4233Of what on earth do you suspect us?
4233Of whom are you talking?
4233One more rubber or bed?
4233Or would a temporary one fit you up for a time?
4233Out there?
4233Princess,he said,"may I ask how long you have known the gentleman who has just left us?"
4233Princess,he said,"will you make a friend?
4233Remembered what?
4233Shall I get in?
4233Shall we challenge these two boys, Nigel? 4233 Shall we cut for deal?"
4233She will not see me?
4233Since when,he demanded,"have I shown any inclination to play the village Lothario?
4233Sitting up all night?
4233So you''ve been improving the shining hour, eh?
4233Some one underground?
4233Something to me?
4233Sounds?
4233Such as--?
4233Such as?
4233Supposing,he asked,"that she wo n''t have anything to do with this man, when you have found one who is willing to pay?"
4233Tell me, Jeanne,she asked at last,"why is the Duke of Westerham so friendly with your fisherman?"
4233The Count de Brensault?
4233The price?
4233The truth?
4233Then do n''t you see, Ena,he said,"that this thing really must be hurried forward?
4233Then what do you believe, my dear Count?
4233Then why not use those measures you spoke of?
4233Then,he said,"if Lord Ronald was not taken to Lynn that morning, what do you suppose has become of him?"
4233There is no fresh news, I suppose?
4233There is nothing tangible?
4233To whom were you writing?
4233We are sorry to trouble you,Cecil said, a little uneasily,"but would it be possible to give these ladies some tea?"
4233We ca n''t get out this way, then?
4233Well, what is it to be?
4233Well,he said,"what is it this evening?"
4233Well,he said,"what other alternative do you propose?"
4233Well,she asked,"have you any news?"
4233Well?
4233Well?
4233Well?
4233Well?
4233Were there any unusual circumstances at all connected with his leaving here?
4233What about Lord Ronald?
4233What about my three thousand pounds?
4233What about the young lady I left outside?
4233What am I to ask about him?
4233What are we going to do with her?
4233What are you afraid of?
4233What are you bolting off for, old man?
4233What are you doing for lunch? 4233 What are you going to do about Jeanne?"
4233What are you up for, then?
4233What became of the siren which warned the smugglers?
4233What bell is that?
4233What could he do for you that Mr. Cecil could not?
4233What do you know about trustees?
4233What do you mean by coming here like this? 4233 What do you mean, my child?"
4233What do you mean?
4233What do you mean?
4233What do you mean?
4233What do you mean?
4233What do you mean?
4233What do you say, Engleton?
4233What do you want, Kate?
4233What else is there to do? 4233 What had you in your mind?"
4233What happened exactly?
4233What happened?
4233What has become of the De la Borne money?
4233What has happened this morning, do you know?
4233What have you been doing?
4233What have you been doing?
4233What in God''s name was that?
4233What is he doing, then, watching this house?
4233What is it that I can do?
4233What is it that you wish?
4233What is it you want, then, child?
4233What is it, Cecil? 4233 What is it, Cecil?"
4233What is it?
4233What is it?
4233What is that?
4233What is the matter, Nigel?
4233What is the matter, child?
4233What on earth are you doing here at this hour? 4233 What on earth are you doing here, Andrew?"
4233What other subject can you possibly imagine your stepmother and I could have in common?
4233What rubbish is this you are talking, Kate?
4233What sort of a game is this, Andrew?
4233What the devil do you want with me at this time of night?
4233What way? 4233 Where are we going to play bridge, Cecil?
4233Where are we going?
4233Where are we?
4233Where are you going to?
4233Where does he come from, this strange man?
4233Where have you been to get in a state like that?
4233Where have you been to?
4233Where is Jeanne? 4233 Where to, miss?"
4233Who are the trustees of my money?
4233Who are you?
4233Who drove it?
4233Who is it coming?
4233Who is she?
4233Who is there in our world who can afford to be honest? 4233 Who is there to help me find it?"
4233Who is there to show it me?
4233Who the devil are you?
4233Who the devil is that chap?
4233Who will pay me back that? 4233 Why do you come here and spoil things like this?"
4233Why do you not believe that?
4233Why do you say that?
4233Why do you say''believes to be?''
4233Why do you wish that Mr. Andrew were here?
4233Why does Kate Caynsard treat her life as though it were of less value than the mackerel she lowers her line for? 4233 Why not in Belgium?"
4233Why not play cut- throat, then?
4233Why not start at once?
4233Why not?
4233Why not?
4233Why not?
4233Why not?
4233Why not?
4233Why not?
4233Why should I think so?
4233Why should I?
4233Why should n''t Cecil come to visit his hermit brother?
4233Why should we let a boy like Engleton play with us? 4233 Why so?"
4233Why?
4233Why?
4233Why?
4233Will she really not mind giving up some of these wonderful entertainments?
4233Will some one,she begged,"take our too kind host away from me?
4233Will you go first or last?
4233Will you keep your promise?
4233Will you let it to me, please?
4233Will you tell me, Mr. De la Borne,she asked,"why the postmistress called Mr. Andrew''sir''if he is only a fisherman?"
4233Would n''t you like, sir,she asked, a little timidly,"to come for a sail with me?"
4233You are going to Canada with Cecil?
4233You are going to Canada?
4233You are going to carry away a story like this?
4233You are going, Mr. De la Borne?
4233You are not doing anything rash, Miss Jeanne, I hope?
4233You are not going in that?
4233You are not going to the house?
4233You are not really going out?
4233You are perhaps holding some of his IOU''s?
4233You can show me this?
4233You did n''t come back,Kate asked,"to see more of Mr. De la Borne, then?"
4233You did not drive it yourself, then?
4233You do not think, then,the Princess persisted,"that it was for the sake of gaining information about his brother that he talked with you so much?"
4233You do not think,he muttered,"that he would do anything that was n''t straight?"
4233You find them alone?
4233You had to kill him?
4233You have an extra room here, then?
4233You have chosen, then? 4233 You have heard from him since he left?"
4233You have something to tell me about last night?
4233You have written him before, perhaps?
4233You knew his address?
4233You know that the Duke is still about?
4233You lost, I suppose?
4233You mean that?
4233You mean,Jeanne interrupted bewildered,"that I have no money at all?"
4233You mean,Jeanne said,"that people do n''t know that I am not a great heiress?"
4233You mean,she cried,"that you are willing to take me now that you know everything, now that you know I have so little money?
4233You mean,the Princess said,"that you have met some one whom you wish to marry?"
4233You mean?
4233You really mean, then,Cecil asked, in a hoarse whisper,"to finish this now?"
4233You remember the young lord,she said,"of whom there has been so much in the papers lately?
4233You suggested leaving?
4233You think that that is all?
4233You think, then,De Brensault asked eagerly,"that it is not I personally whom she objects to so much?"
4233You will not forget, Miss Le Mesurier?
4233You will not obey me, child?
4233You would be miserable in anything but silk stockings, would n''t you? 4233 You would prefer to be back there, perhaps?"
4233You-- did reach her in time?
4233Your interest in sport,she remarked,"seems to be a sort of second- hand one, does it not?"
4233A haunted chamber?"
4233After all, why should we wonder at it?
4233Andrew?"
4233Andrew?"
4233Andrew?"
4233Andrew?"
4233Andrew?"
4233Andrew?"
4233Andrew?"
4233Andrew?"
4233Are you married?"
4233Are you perfectly serious in your suit?"
4233Are you sure that the game is worth the candle?"
4233Are you up at this hour every morning?"
4233Are you, too, sighing for the gilded salons of civilization?"
4233Are you?"
4233At her age, perhaps-- you understand?"
4233But what is a poor weak girl to do?
4233By the by, Cecil,"he added,"what are you doing in town?
4233By the by, Ronald has turned up again, of course?"
4233By the by, have you heard from him yet?"
4233By the by, how are you going to explain that elderly domestic of yours?"
4233By the by, what are you doing to- night?"
4233By the by, who introduced you to the man whom you were with when I found you?"
4233By the by, you have not been particularly attentive to my stepdaughter during the last few days, have you?"
4233Ca n''t you hear that beastly bell- wire quivering?"
4233Ca n''t you suggest anything?"
4233Can I have a ticket to there?"
4233Can not you see that it is not honest?"
4233Can one see the sea from here, Mr. De la Borne?"
4233Can you hear what I say to you?"
4233Can you not take me out there?"
4233Can you see out yonder a little house on the island there?"
4233Can you suggest anything to me?
4233Cecil,"he added,"I suppose half the village know about this place, do n''t they?"
4233Country tailor still, eh?"
4233De Brensault is ready enough, is n''t he?"
4233Did I not say that I was on no account to be disturbed this afternoon?"
4233Did he lose?"
4233Did he speak to you at all of Major Forrest?"
4233Did n''t you hear what the fisherman said, too, that it was a flood tide?
4233Do n''t you see that my mother is dying for some bridge?"
4233Do n''t you think afterwards that they may wonder why we did it?"
4233Do n''t you think so?
4233Do n''t you think that would be best?"
4233Do you generally get up in the middle of the night?"
4233Do you imagine that I am of my stepmother''s world, or ever could be?
4233Do you know?"
4233Do you know?"
4233Do you mean that when you have not a lodger here, you cook and do everything for yourself?"
4233Do you mean to say that he has never arrived there?"
4233Do you not agree with me, Mr. De la Borne?"
4233Do you play polo?"
4233Do you really not mind the solitude?"
4233Do you see?
4233Do you suppose that there is any one here who would think of trying to hinder him?
4233Do you think that you could persuade her to leave London so suddenly?"
4233Do you want him to die here?"
4233Do you want to be worshipped, friend Andrew-- to wear a laurel crown, and have beautiful ladies kneeling at your feet?"
4233Do you wish to tell me about it?"
4233Engleton, are you well enough to understand what I say?"
4233Even if you have seen him once with Lord Ronald, what on earth is there in that to be terrified about?
4233Frankly, I do not know which would be best-- to give up the idea of anything of the sort for some time, or to-- to--""To what?"
4233Had he left then?"
4233Had she really meant to be rude to him, or was she nervous?
4233Has n''t it ever struck you, De la Borne,"he continued, after a moment''s slight hesitation,"that there is only one logical way out of this?"
4233Have n''t you any idea where he is?"
4233Have n''t you any other relations, Miss Jeanne?"
4233Have the hours we have spent together taught you nothing different?"
4233Have you ever been in my country, Miss Le Mesurier?"
4233Have you met my new admirer, Mr. Cecil de la Borne?"
4233Have you seen enough?"
4233He is a great friend of yours?"
4233Host?"
4233How can I help it?
4233How could you make us so unhappy?"
4233How is Jeanne?"
4233How is it going on?"
4233I know who he is, of course, but why should he invite perfect strangers to stay with him?"
4233I suppose we shall start for our sail about three?"
4233I suppose you came from the Hall?"
4233I suppose you two,"she added, turning to Forrest and Lord Ronald,"will not mind starting a day or two before we had planned?"
4233I wonder whether your ward will do me the honour of giving me this dance?"
4233If I am rich, why may I not buy the right to live as I choose?"
4233If they land here and you see anything of them, will you have the goodness to understand that I am Mr. Andrew, fisherman, and that you are my lodger?"
4233If, by one chance in a thousand, his body is ever recovered, what more natural?
4233Is it my fault that I am plagued with a stepdaughter of so extraordinary a temperament?
4233Is it our island fisherman who has taken your fancy?"
4233Is n''t that one of your guests coming?
4233Is that the sea?"
4233Is the Princess of Strurm really your stepmother?"
4233Is this person indeed your elder brother?"
4233Is this queer little place really your home?"
4233Is what he says true, Cecil?"
4233It''s almost time for luncheon, is n''t it?"
4233Jeanne, is n''t this nicer, ever so much nicer, than anything you had imagined?"
4233Jeanne,"he added, moving towards her,"you hear?
4233Mademoiselle permits me?"
4233Mr. Andrew, is it quite impossible?"
4233My dear man, what do you propose to live on?"
4233My words were plain enough, were they not?
4233Not only have we had to eat a filthy dinner, but it''s enough to make people suspicious, eh?
4233Nothing very lover- like about that, is there?"
4233Of course, her dot is very large, is it not?"
4233Oh, if you please,"she added, bursting into tears,"wo n''t you let me alone?
4233Or shall we all go out and look for them ourselves?"
4233Perhaps you would rather delay everything until then?"
4233Please, when can you take me?"
4233Ring the bell, Forrest, will you?"
4233Shall I tell you what I feel like doing?"
4233Shall we go and see what there is for dinner?
4233Shall we go?"
4233Should I have been drowned?"
4233Should you be home by then, do you think?"
4233Suppose, for instance, you were to lose your money?"
4233Tell me, Mr. De la Borne, do you really mean that we can go sailing this afternoon?"
4233Tell me, they have the pistol?"
4233That is a very small fortune, is it not?"
4233That it is I who have put her out of the way for a little time, in order to make a better bargain with you?"
4233Then you too might come and see me, might you not, when we have that house in London?"
4233There is punishment for that, eh?"
4233This is such a likely spot for our operations, is n''t it?"
4233Was it his fancy, or was there indeed a slim white figure coming across the marshes from the Hall?
4233Was it really so wonderful?"
4233Well, anyhow, that makes it all right about Forrest staying, does n''t it?"
4233Were n''t you the young lady who was staying up at the Red Hall a few weeks ago?"
4233What are you doing about it?"
4233What could woman do more?"
4233What did he answer?
4233What did you quarrel with Lord Ronald about?"
4233What do you do on the marshes there all the time?
4233What do you mean by ringing the bell like that?"
4233What do you mean?"
4233What do you say?
4233What do you suppose my income is?
4233What do you suppose that he is doing here?"
4233What do you think he meant by it?"
4233What do you think of me, Mr. Andrew?
4233What do you think that they meant?"
4233What does he say to you?"
4233What harm do you suppose could come to Lord Ronald here?"
4233What is it now?"
4233What is it?"
4233What is the convention about?"
4233What is the matter with you all?"
4233What is to become of our little scheme if we cut as we did last night all the time?"
4233What of it?
4233What of it?"
4233What was this thing which Forrest could propose?
4233What would happen to you then?
4233What''s that outside?"
4233What''s the fee?"
4233When is Lord Ronald coming back?"
4233Where are you going to take me to?"
4233Where could she have gone to?
4233Where is Lord Ronald, by the by?"
4233Who can say?
4233Who is she?"
4233Who is there left exactly now?"
4233Who shall guarantee me against it?"
4233Who was unkind to her?"
4233Whom else is it that you are thinking of?
4233Why at first did you want me to marry Major Forrest?"
4233Why do n''t you teach the young lady a simpler way of summoning you than by that infernal bell?"
4233Why do n''t you try and cultivate it?
4233Why do we not let him have the issue before him in black and white?
4233Why do you ask so strange a question?"
4233Why do you take the part of that miserable creature over there?
4233Why may I not stay here?
4233Why not in ours?
4233Why not pass your word to treat this little matter as a joke?
4233Why should I be ashamed of my oilskins?
4233Why should I contradict them?
4233Why should he put himself in this position for Jeanne, great heiress though she might be?
4233Why should she go?
4233Why should there be all this nervous haste about my marriage?
4233Why should we keep him carefully and safe, knowing that the moment he steps back into life you and I are doomed men?"
4233Why should we?
4233Will you be so good as to stand away from that door?"
4233Will you come round to the''Travellers''with me?
4233Will you come to me, or send for me, if you find yourself in any sort of trouble?"
4233Will you come with me?"
4233Will you do this for me?
4233Will you forgive me if I ask you whether this marriage is being forced upon her?"
4233Will you let me take your little girl to my sister''s for say one week?
4233Will you listen to me, please?"
4233Will you not ask him to take tea with us?"
4233Will you obey me if I tell you not to leave your room until I send for you?"
4233Will you walk across the marshes, Miss Jeanne, or will you come to the village and wait while I send for a carriage?"
4233Wo n''t you say something nice to me for my own sake?"
4233Wo n''t you wish me joy?"
4233Would n''t it be lovely to go and beg him to give us all tea?"
4233Would you like to sail again this afternoon, Princess?"
4233You are not bored?"
4233You do n''t mind, do you?"
4233You do n''t suppose, I presume, that there has been a fight, or anything of that sort?"
4233You have good news?"
4233You have n''t any fear about him, eh?"
4233You heard me shout back?"
4233You know the two Mr. De la Bornes?"
4233You know what the faddists of the moment say?
4233You mean that you want to marry me still?"
4233You said that he was lodging here, did you not?"
4233You see those telegraph posts?
4233You talked with the Duke for some time, Jeanne?"
4233You think you can get the better of us, do you?
4233You understand that yourself, do n''t you, Jeanne?"
4233You understand?"
4233You will permit me?"
4233You will understand this, wo n''t you, Cecil?"
4233You, I suppose, have lived here all your life?"
4233back to the Red Hall?"
4233she asked,"the passage and the cellars?"
4233the Count echoed, fixing his eyes upon her,"where have you been to?"
42802''A rope of fear''was what he said, was n''t it? 42802 A clue?"
42802A duke, I think you said?
42802A false alarm, was n''t it?
42802A ghost?
42802A mistake? 42802 A rope?"
42802Ah, yes, indeed, most impeccable of detectives,she mocked,"and now your eyes are to be opened, eh?"
42802And Miss Jardine?
42802And did you bring the warrant with you?
42802And how will you be doing this fine weather, sir?
42802And it is this man who has been murdered?
42802And now then-- what next?
42802And now what, old chap?
42802And that''s what Scotland Yard takes the rate- payers''good money to support, eh? 42802 And the safe?"
42802And where did the murder take place-- in London?
42802And you, who are you?
42802Another case of Prince Hal, eh?
42802Another feather in the cap of foolish old Scotland Yard, is n''t it?
42802Another? 42802 Anthony Winton, do you mean?
42802Any attempt been made to decide the matter? 42802 Any ideas, old chap?"
42802Any ideas, old chap?
42802Any relation to the soldier and scientist- inventor of that new machine- gun tried out last year?
42802Anything happen?
42802Are not all lives equal in the sight of the law?
42802At least his note to me this morning is signed C. G. Belthouse; but what----?
42802Bedtime?
42802Bridge parties? 42802 But how and by what was Winton killed?
42802But how did she get into the safe?
42802But how did the Eugenie pearl vanish with the other jewels? 42802 But how?"
42802But how?
42802But in what way does this young lady benefit? 42802 But maylike you''d be glad to run up to your room and wash a bit, the whiles the kittle''s boilin''?
42802But not so clever, eh, my friend? 42802 But what about the police?
42802But what dees it all mean?
42802But what do you know about it, youngster?
42802But what on earth----?
42802But when a mouse gets into a trap, what does it do?
42802But why did he want the light off?
42802But you said she had poisoned my dear mother?
42802By the way, Mr. Montelet, who told you the history of this ill- fated stone and its fearful curse of a wandering spirit that slays in the dark?
42802Ca n''t you? 42802 Capitoline, eh?"
42802Ceiling repaired?
42802Church where the goings on takes place, ai n''t it? 42802 Cleaning, sir?
42802Close to the end, were they?
42802Countess Maravitz? 42802 Dead?"
42802Did he expect anything to happen then?
42802Did he too, die mysteriously? 42802 Did n''t I hear you say you were going to the theatre yourself?
42802Did n''t he arrive at Charing Cross by the 8:40?
42802Did you find it, sir?
42802Did you get her name and address?
42802Did you have that headache last night?
42802Disappointed, old chap?
42802Do n''t happen to know the market price for fullers''earth in bulk, do you?
42802Do you know if Lady Montelet had anything to drink previous to her retirement to this room?
42802Do you know?
42802Do you mean he was murdered?
42802Do you see any light, however?
42802Do you think I''d have waited till now if I''d known where he was? 42802 Do you?
42802Does anybody know what he meant?
42802Does it mean that Laura_ stole_ the stone?
42802Doo- ee, now? 42802 Eh, but she would not like to know of this little meeting, my friend?
42802Ever stop anywhere on the road?
42802Feel like having a pipe and a toddle up and down the garden before turning in? 42802 For not only have the notes vanished, but I''ve lost the best night- watchman I ever had, a good, trustworthy man----""Lost him?"
42802Forgery, swindling, robbery?
42802Going, are you, Mr. Overton, sir?
42802Good heavens, Calcott, where did this come from? 42802 Got him-- who''ve got him?
42802Had n''t you?
42802Hammond-- why, what is wrong, man? 42802 Happened, sir-- happened?"
42802Have n''t come to tell me the Capitoline Venus has disappeared, have you?
42802Hay? 42802 He made no statement, I suppose, before he died, to give an idea of the assassin?
42802How about that, please? 42802 How did you know?"
42802How did you manage it?
42802How long was she here, do you remember?
42802How should I know what happened? 42802 How was it that Miss Parradine was able to make such an inopportune call?
42802How''s that? 42802 How, then, was this door opened in the morning?"
42802How?
42802I heard a cry-- at least----"Right through the closed door of a nine- inch concrete walled vault, Wilson?
42802I wonder if our friend the vicar noticed, too? 42802 I wondered where it came from; but I suppose you have had the ceiling repaired-- eh, what?"
42802Ideas? 42802 Impossible, is it?"
42802In case Mr. Hubert might get involved, eh?
42802In love, eh?
42802Indeed? 42802 Into the cellar-- hark, what''s that?
42802Is it broken, Cleek?
42802Is it likely that any one overheard your conversation then? 42802 Is she now?"
42802Is the matter really a very important one?
42802It is a most unfortunate tragedy indeed, almost a dual one, one might say, but I think you can safely trust yourself in our hands, eh, Headland?
42802It is about the reputed''haunting''of the village where your country seat is located, I believe? 42802 It is not your place, mademoiselle, is it?
42802It is ze brave Super- in- tend- ent and he come for his gr- great frien''Cleek-- is it not so, my frien''?
42802It worked all right, eh?
42802Jeannette, you will? 42802 Kenneth Digby?"
42802Known him long, by the way?
42802Lor lumme, sir, you ai n''t a- going out again to- night, are ye?
42802Mean the box with the wire netting over the front?
42802Meaning the gentleman who is your guest, sir?
42802Might be aconite-- but how administered?
42802Mind reading it aloud, sir?
42802Mr. Winton was cleaning his jewels then, was he? 42802 No idea as to the cause of death, Mr. Brent?
42802Not those silly little painted things with the fancy borders?
42802Now what do you mean by that? 42802 Now what the devil can the bed of a river have to do with the matter in hand?"
42802Now, what about this Marie Vaudrot? 42802 Now, what''s the next thing?"
42802Oh, Mr. Belthouse,he exclaimed,"going to move the blessed statues in a furniture van?"
42802Oh, so that''s why they did n''t get out and chuck the place when the mischief began, is it? 42802 Oh, that you, Mr. Cleek, is it?
42802Oh, the ghost, you mean?
42802Old lady''s something after the style of my mate here, ai n''t she-- a bit deaf?
42802One of that sort is he? 42802 Overton?
42802Patterson?
42802Poison, sir, poison?
42802Remembered?
42802Right was I, old chap?
42802Robberies? 42802 Roses and---- My hat, what the dickens are you talking about?"
42802Rum sort of a case, is n''t it?
42802Save her from what, Mr. Montelet? 42802 Saw?
42802Say anything to the duke about it?
42802See him? 42802 See the skull and crossbones?"
42802She hear anything last night, then?
42802She was there all right when you came away, was n''t she?
42802She_ is_ all right, ai n''t she, sir?
42802Simmons had been shut in there by myself, Mr. Headland, and----"Shut in, Mr. Brent? 42802 Smokeless?
42802So my little trick succeeded, eh, Jules Berjet? 42802 So that, naturally, he will not be invited to share in the festivities in connection with Lady Adela''s wedding?"
42802So then, of course---- To- morrow, eh? 42802 Sorry we ca n''t reciprocate the feeling, Mr. Narkom,"said Cleek with a rueful smile;"but we ca n''t, can we, Dollops?
42802Surely you do n''t allow smoking in the vault, Mr. Brent? 42802 That was to be the signal, was n''t it?
42802That''ll be the bell- tower over there to the left, wo n''t it, the round thing with the cement pavement all round it?
42802That''s Mr. Cleek----"Do you think I do n''t know that?
42802That? 42802 That?
42802The beggar''s come at last, has he? 42802 The river stopped up?
42802The which, sir?
42802There was something of importance in it, then?
42802They say you have a white- and- gold lady to be your woman over on the other side-- is it not so?
42802They''ve started-- don''t you hear them?
42802They, too, have left then, after all?
42802This Wilson, Mr. Brent,Cleek asked, quietly,"is he a young man?"
42802Valuable?
42802Was anything missing from that?
42802Was he tied or bound then?
42802Waterloo? 42802 Well, Carstairs, taking a constitutional before dinner- time?"
42802Well, my sweet- voiced little traitress, so I''ve got one more of your precious gang, have I?
42802Well, then, it''s indigestion, shall we say?
42802Well?
42802What are you?
42802What became of her?
42802What did he have to eat last?
42802What did you do with it then?
42802What do you mean, you fool?
42802What do you mean?
42802What does it mean? 42802 What exactly do you mean by that, Mr. Brent?
42802What had she to do with it?
42802What has been stolen, something from his collection?
42802What have they done, Mr. Headland, or Cleek? 42802 What have you found, Headland?"
42802What key-- what door?
42802What notes?
42802What the deuce is the matter, you young monkey?
42802What was the message, and who took it?
42802What would be the sense of wasting tears over such a man, sir?
42802What''s that, Inspector?
42802What''s that, Mr. Narkom? 42802 What''s that, Mr. Narkom?
42802What''s that, Mr. Narkom? 42802 What''s that, Mr. Narkom?
42802What''s that, my friend-- how did I find you?
42802What''s that? 42802 What''s that?
42802What''s that? 42802 What''s that?
42802What''s that? 42802 What''s that?
42802What''s that?
42802What''s that?
42802What''s that?
42802What''s that?
42802What,_ deaf_?
42802What? 42802 What?"
42802When did you miss this formula?
42802Where have you been all day?
42802Where is the laboratory and how is it built?
42802Where now, sir?
42802Where was your master sitting before that, do you know?
42802Where were you; where had you been during the evening?
42802Who has n''t? 42802 Who is George?"
42802Who is at the head of affairs, by the way?
42802Who is young Wilson, Mr. Brent, and why should he instead of the inspector have been left alone with the body?
42802Who rings them?
42802Why did I suspect Mr. Brent? 42802 Why most important?"
42802Why not kill her first, Queen Margot?
42802Why not, you inquisitive young monkey?
42802Why not?
42802Why, did you know her?
42802Why, what''s wrong? 42802 Why?"
42802Will there be any difficulty in your admitting me into the laboratory, by the way?
42802Will you forget that you have done so, Mr. Howard, until after this Valehampton business is settled? 42802 Would you mind giving me the full details as explicitly as possible, and from the very beginning, please?"
42802Yes, I----"Warrant?
42802Yes, Mr.--er-- Headland, will it be? 42802 Yes, but what?
42802Yes, old man?
42802Yes, that''s the---- My dear Cleek, you are hardly respectful, are you?
42802Yes, they are fine, are n''t they now?
42802You do n''t mean to say that any fool man bought that ill- fated jewel at Christie''s last week? 42802 You have a clue to that, then?"
42802You have a special message for me?
42802You have an idea, then?
42802You have no gas fittings here?
42802You have really picked up a clue?
42802You think it was carried to the bell- tower, then?
42802You think so?
42802You thought you were safe this time, did n''t you, and that the dead tell no tales, eh?
42802You-- knew?
42802You_ knew_? 42802 _ Come, God''s sake, 1st barge, Limehouse, Dock 3.--Cleek._""What does it mean, sir?"
42802_ Myself?_Captain Digby''s voice registered utter amazement.
42802_ Rich?_ Are you off your head, old man? 42802 _ Rich?_ Are you off your head, old man?
42802''Tisn''t that chap, I suppose?"
42802A case?
42802A clue?
42802After that I rushed to the safe and----""Why did you do that?"
42802Agreeable?"
42802All ready, are you?"
42802Am I dropping into the habit of giving signs, then?"
42802An explanation?
42802And did Lady Montelet believe in the priest''s curse or not?"
42802And how is the good man coming on?"
42802And if you must cry out, surely there is another name more fitting to the occasion?
42802And now may I venture to ask a question touching upon more personal matters?
42802And now, if you please, may I not see the body of Davis at once?"
42802And the coach next to the engine if I can manage it?
42802And the old man-- wot about him?
42802And the one adjoining it is where the child disappeared, eh?"
42802And then your agitation made me risk the guess.... What''s that, Inspector?
42802And then-- what?"
42802And what about her visit?"
42802And what did the local police say?
42802And where does Elton Carlyle come in in this pleasant little mà © nage?
42802And where will the next one be?
42802And where?"
42802And you, too, Marie Peret?"
42802And your land- steward?"
42802And, pray, who is that?"
42802Any more questions, please?"
42802Any possibility of his secreting the jewel himself?"
42802Anyhow, I know the apparatus; and one belongs to Mr. Desmond, eh?
42802Anyhow, having secured the formula, she burnt it and----""Burnt it?"
42802Are you positively certain Simmons said nothing as to the cause of his death?
42802Are you sure, Dollops?"
42802Are you the great Cleek?"
42802Belthouse?"
42802Blown, I suppose?"
42802Brent?"
42802Brent?"
42802Brent?"
42802Bristol?"
42802But I say, Mr. Overton, what put it into Captain What''s- his- name''s head to have you telephone the duke and inquire?
42802But had n''t we better be moving?
42802But what has become of Borelle?
42802But what has become of Borelle?"
42802But why cry at all?
42802But why did you seek to conceal the other entrance, mademoiselle?"
42802But, before you start, who is Estelle?"
42802By the sofa there-- with the quilt half over it?"
42802By the way, was there any tribe of gypsies known to be in the vicinity of Valehampton at the time?"
42802CHAPTER XVI CLEEK EXPLAINS"How did I manage to find the thing out?"
42802Ca n''t you see the man''s ill?
42802Can you remember the names?"
42802Carstairs?"
42802Carstairs?"
42802Charles Belthouse-- Charles Galveston Belthouse?"
42802Cleek?"
42802Cleek?"
42802Cleek?"
42802Cleek?"
42802Coming our way, Mr. Wilson?
42802Concrete everything?
42802Costivan?"
42802Could n''t give any account of who he was?"
42802Could n''t speak, I suppose?
42802Could n''t yer telephone you was ill, sir?"
42802Desmond?"
42802Did Cleek the Cracksman ever break his oath?"
42802Did Lady Montelet believe in the curse?"
42802Did he expect a murder or robbery beforehand?
42802Did he know the notes had vanished?
42802Did he vanish with the notes?"
42802Did n''t get his watch, I suppose?"
42802Did they all go in, then, Norton?"
42802Did you manage to find us any, then?"
42802Did you take anybody into your confidence regarding this visit to London to- day?"
42802Do I make that clear?"
42802Do n''t happen to know of anybody that did, do you?"
42802Do n''t you?"
42802Do you not always find the answers to the cases propounded to you?
42802Do you think you are likely to make any discovery?"
42802Do you understand?"
42802Do you want to see what I found, gentlemen?
42802Do you, Marie Peret, when you''ve got such a clever cousin as Margot to pose as the statue?
42802Does she live in Grays, too?"
42802Does that mean that you have had a colleague or assistant before this?"
42802Does that mean you are trying to tell me that Graham Digby''s son is a traitor to his country?"
42802Eh, what?"
42802Eh,_ mes amis_?
42802Fine, are n''t they?"
42802First of all, who was it that discovered the actual loss of the statue?"
42802Fly, fly----""So we have caught the pair of you, eh?"
42802Gawd bless yer both, and now let''s get out before this beauty wakes up, or shall I finish her, sir?"
42802Ghastly sort of business, is n''t it?
42802Good heavens, man, you do n''t mean that you suspect----?"
42802Got the moving men, too, did you?
42802Have they found any clues yet?"
42802Have you your key?
42802Hay_ stain_?
42802He deaf, too?"
42802He had evidently died----""What''s that?"
42802He is here?"
42802He preferred Venetian powder to jeweller''s rouge, eh?"
42802He''s not dead?"
42802Headland?"
42802Headland?"
42802Headland?"
42802Headland?"
42802Headland?"
42802Headland?"
42802How can it be possible for them to have discovered anything_ here_?"
42802How could as large an object as the Capitoline Venus disappear in broad daylight?
42802How could the murderer escape through closed doors and window and in the dark?
42802How dare you?"
42802How did I get the idea of Captain Sandringham''s connection with the affair?
42802How did I guess?
42802How did I guess?
42802How did I know that?
42802How did it happen?
42802How do you pay me-- eh?"
42802How do you see in it?"
42802How long had the lady left before Calvert began to suspect trouble?"
42802How was he killed?
42802How was the murder committed, and what did this little rattler have to do with it?
42802How would it be if we slipped over the wall and had a look at''em a bit closer, Mr. Overton?
42802How?
42802Hullo, though, who''s that coming out of it now?"
42802I do n''t say it has anything to do with the present case; still, the details are so strange:----""What is this case?"
42802I must get a squint into the room and write immediately-- you have no telephone, have you?"
42802I presume you have not mentioned my name in the matter?"
42802I say, wot price letting him stand here and talk with the vicar for a time while you show us the rest of the way?
42802I shall just say you are another colleague----""Another, Captain Digby?"
42802I suppose he wanted his future wife to indulge in the same tricks, eh?"
42802I suppose you are going to carry me off, so where do we go, and when?"
42802I suppose you know that I placed the stuff about the tower''s base when I left you at the limousine?"
42802I thought you used electricity for lighting?"
42802If it was n''t for the blessed lump of marble being so valuable----""Valuable?"
42802If there was to be a tunnel, then, why should not that be the starting point?
42802If you think you will want that address----?"
42802In England is he?"
42802In Paris, eh?
42802In the name of Heaven, what did you cut up that fainting caper for last night?"
42802Indeed, she was more angry than frightened when the other two deaths occurred----""Ah, yes, what of them?
42802Instructing Carstairs how to go about putting up the banns?
42802Introduce me as Lieutenant Deland in mufti, will you?
42802Is he still up to high jinks?"
42802Is he the tame cat of the house, or master of the revels?"
42802Is it a peculiarity of Essex hay, then, to give off a deep yellowish stain?"
42802Is it any wonder that my chief suspects me?"
42802Is n''t that so, Mr. Brent?
42802Is not that proof enough?
42802Is that a fact?"
42802Is that so?"
42802Is that so?"
42802Is that the secret?
42802Is that the stone in question?"
42802Is your wife a light sleeper?"
42802Just what_ has_ happened?
42802Justice?
42802Lord, did n''t the beggar bolt?"
42802Mind our going through the kitchen, missus?"
42802Mr. Desmond, you saw me set that safe yourself, to open at what hour?"
42802Mr. Narkom, just look into the large urn over there, will you?"
42802Narkom?"
42802Narkom?"
42802Narkom?"
42802Narkom?"
42802Narkom?"
42802Nervous gent, is he?"
42802Nice and thoughtful of the gent, Markham-- eh, what?
42802Nothin''wrong, is there?"
42802Nothing from you to- night, Kenneth?"
42802Notice anything else as well?"
42802Once again Cleek spoke:"And you saw nothing, heard nothing?"
42802Overton?"
42802Pardon, Duke?
42802Pardon?
42802Peppermint drops or aniseed balls, eh?"
42802Perhaps you have forgotten----?"
42802Perhaps you would n''t mind telling me where this door leads to?"
42802Perhaps_ le cher Borelle_ will bring them along later, who knows?"
42802Perry?"
42802Pretty little light that, but not much good to see by, eh?"
42802Saintly?"
42802Saviour''s?"
42802Saw what?"
42802See that thing in the corner?
42802Septarite it is called, is it not?
42802Shall I ask?"
42802Shall I show you to it?
42802Shall Naylor give the word?"
42802Shall it be the knife, the poison, the rope?
42802She is no relation, is she?"
42802She spoke to Marshall, you say?
42802She would scorn the poor Jeannette, eh?
42802Shoals formed, did n''t they?"
42802Shot himself?
42802Shot?"
42802Shut in, did you say?
42802So if you will ask me anything else you want to know----?"
42802Something come to light about last night''s horrible affair, Vicar?"
42802Stabbed?
42802Still thinking of that elderly Venus, eh?
42802Sure he was n''t making the words fit those of the dying man?
42802Tell Mr. Narkom I am ready for him, will you?"
42802That is it?"
42802That special midnight mail, I presume?
42802That''s the Johnnie, is n''t it?"
42802The Duke of Essex, eh?
42802The boat goes back to- night, does n''t it?"
42802The celebrated shrine, is n''t it?"
42802The door screwed up, Mr. Belthouse?
42802The duke got back a''ready, has he?"
42802The effect of the curse?"
42802The lights wrong?"
42802Then he sniffed the air, and uttered a casual remark:"Fond of sweets still, are you, Mr. Wilson?
42802Then how did Mr. Wilson here and the inspector enter?"
42802Then noting Dollops''dejected mien, he asked,"What''s wrong, old man?"
42802Then young Wilson told me that he himself had closed the safe door.... What are you smiling at, Mr. Headland?
42802Then, six months later, a young orphaned French girl from a Russian convent, Celestine Merode---- Why, what''s the matter?"
42802There is no one you know who might benefit by his death?"
42802They might have found traces of footprints, you think?"
42802This is the house, is n''t it?"
42802Thought you''d have escaped with that £200,000 and left your confederates to bear the brunt of the whole thing, did you?
42802Too far for us to go in the limousine, then?"
42802Was n''t he to have been married to- day, by the way, according to the papers?"
42802Was n''t it about''74 when the Bengal Lancers were stationed at Mandalay?
42802Was n''t that the man who owned''Black Prince,''the last Derby winner?
42802Was this the explanation?
42802Well, my friend, were n''t you telling me something about a series of robberies in this precious new case of yours?"
42802Well, what is it this time, Narkom?
42802Well, you remember that time when Sir Julius Solinski passed us in his motor?
42802Were n''t you, my girl?
42802Were the two in league, after all?
42802What do you mean?"
42802What do you think of that?"
42802What end can be attained, what purpose served by a proceeding of this nature?
42802What exactly were his last words to you?"
42802What happened after Doctor Forsyth''s visit?"
42802What happened after the young lady-- did you say?--had gone?"
42802What happened next?"
42802What happens to me if I let you go?
42802What has been stolen from where?"
42802What has that hard- working, pleasure- shunning, late sportsman- banker, Brian Desmond, got to do with bridge parties?"
42802What has''gone''?"
42802What if the old lady-- her ladyship-- took out the stone, and when the pain at her heart caught her, let the blessed thing drop?
42802What is it?"
42802What is this stone, and to whom does it belong?"
42802What is this?
42802What made you ask?"
42802What on earth makes you think that?"
42802What shall we do with him,_ mes amis_?
42802What time was it when young Wilson discovered the door of the bank unlatched?"
42802What was the doctor''s verdict?"
42802What will the charge be at the police court?"
42802What''s that, Miss Parradine, the skeleton?
42802What''s that, Mr. Belthouse, where is the statue?
42802What''s that?
42802What''s that?
42802What''s that?
42802What''s that?"
42802What''s that?"
42802What''s wrong?
42802What''s wrong?"
42802What-- what''s it like in there, anyway?"
42802Whatever by?"
42802When was the loss discovered, and how?"
42802When was the murder discovered and who discovered it?"
42802When you got downstairs with the inspector, Mr. Brent, did you happen to notice the safe or not?"
42802When?"
42802Where are we?"
42802Where does it begin?"
42802Where is it, pig of a cracksman, where, I say?"
42802Where is there such an opening?"
42802Where is this precious''Rose of Fire''?
42802Where were you lunching?"
42802Whether she went back while I was answering the''phone, I do n''t know....""Went back?"
42802Who are you?
42802Who could have been his confederate?"
42802Who has been managing that little dodge, and-- how?"
42802Who were they?"
42802Who----?"
42802Why did I suspect old Twells?
42802Why did n''t I suspect Miss Vaudrot here?
42802Why, what in the world----?"
42802Why?"
42802Williams?"
42802Wilson, you understand you are to come with us?
42802Without a struggle, and a man with whom she was deeply in love, at that?"
42802Wot happened afterward?"
42802Wot price Shanks''s mare for a bit, Jim?
42802Wot price that church spire away over there to the left?
42802Would it be too much to ask what the''general notion''is?"
42802Would they live to emerge safe?
42802Would you care to go in and have a look at it?
42802Would you like to go in and examine it?
42802Would you like to know how bells can be rung without hands or ropes, or wires, or anything of that sort, gentlemen?
42802Would you like to see the Valehampton ghost laid, Captain?
42802Would you mind telling me where your husband got them?"
42802Yes, but the bells, Mr. Headland-- the bells?"
42802You are tired, eh?
42802You ask him for me, will you?
42802You do n''t think that a fat old woman could have smuggled out the Capitoline Venus in her reticule, do you?
42802You got the others all safe and sound, did n''t you?"
42802You remember, you heard the sound of that pipe, Mr. Wilson?
42802You saw me examine his nails?
42802You understand me?"
42802You would n''t mind letting it be understood when you go back, would you, that a couple of ordinary Yard men have been put on the case?
42802You''re not insinuating that that boy murdered old Simmons, are you?
42802You''re not supposing that Estelle got up and went down and drugged with chloroform a big strong man like Elton, are you?
42802but we ai n''t goin''to be done out of_ this_''oliday, are we?"
42802how should I know?"
42802that hits the mark, does it?
42802we''re slowing down, are n''t we?
42802what about keys?"
42802who''s this Johnnie, I wonder?
41001A traitor? 41001 About what?"
41001Abroad?
41001Ah, how can I tell, Signor Holford? 41001 Am I your father?"
41001And Miss Ethelwynn?
41001And as for my dual existence, as you term it, have I ever endeavoured to conceal it from you?
41001And do you recognise this gentleman as the Professor?
41001And has he always showed friendship towards you, Miss Greer?
41001And he disappeared-- I suppose?
41001And he has refused even you, eh?
41001And if I did? 41001 And if I gave it,"I asked, not without some hesitation,"would these precious friends of yours give me back my wife?"
41001And if you found your signora alive and well, you would undertake to make no further inquiry?
41001And is that all?
41001And it does not concern Mabel?
41001And love for your wife makes you forget your word of honour given to me, eh?
41001And men do not come to life again when once dead, do they?
41001And my wife, Antonio-- where is she?
41001And only for that reason?
41001And only once?
41001And pray what good would result?
41001And that means-- what?
41001And the lady-- what was she like? 41001 And then?
41001And then?
41001And was Greer there also?
41001And what are they?
41001And what did you find?
41001And what happened then?
41001And what was their destination?
41001And what, pray, need I care for that girl''s future, now that mine has been wrecked by the devilish machinations of you and your gang?
41001And when were you aware of the truth?
41001And when you called him did you then see him in his berth?
41001And who else was with him?
41001And who was he?
41001And will you not follow?
41001And you afterwards went down to Broadstairs?
41001And you are suspected as the assassin?
41001And you are unaware of who did this?
41001And you believe that Kirk has gone with the Professor to visit Sir Mark Edwards?
41001And you expect me to believe that, eh?
41001And you know more than you will tell me?
41001And you made the signal to Kirk?
41001And you say that the signora knew nothing of the affair at Sussex Place?
41001And you think they would be accepted as evidence that Professor Greer was done to death?
41001And you told nobody?
41001And, her disillusionment over, she repaid you for your exertions on her behalf by becoming engaged to you, eh?
41001And, later on, you discovered the furnace alight, eh?
41001And, pray, why should I not possess friends?
41001And, tell me, what connection had Doctor Flynn with the affair?
41001Apparently you do n''t believe this statement of Miss Ethelwynn''s?
41001Are you not being misled, as these men are trying to mislead me?
41001Are you quite certain of that, Antonio?
41001As a matter of fact, what evidence is there that the Professor is dead?
41001At Kirk''s orders?
41001Because you have now realised that Scotland Yard refuse their assistance, eh?
41001But are you absolutely certain that a journey to Strassburg to- morrow would be useless?
41001But at least you will do something with the bodies of the victims? 41001 But did not you, with your own eyes, see your father dead in his laboratory?"
41001But for what reason do you ask this? 41001 But have I not already impressed upon you, my dear friend, the absolute necessity of secrecy in this affair?"
41001But have you discovered where he is living?
41001But how could he have escaped?
41001But how do you account for Ethelwynn being still alive?
41001But how do you account for that remarkable occurrence behind those locked doors?
41001But if the Professor is in Scotland, as you say, why have you called this evening?
41001But may she not have been prevented from sending any message home?
41001But might she not have been induced to return by morbid curiosity?
41001But my wife?
41001But our acquaintance is not very intimate, is it? 41001 But surely Ethelwynn would not?"
41001But surely I ought to know the truth? 41001 But what connection can my wife possibly have with any occurrence at the house of Professor Greer?"
41001But where is Antonio and all the other servants?
41001But where is Mabel?
41001But who are my enemies?
41001But who had attacked you in the diningroom?
41001But why has she gone?
41001But why let us discuss it? 41001 But why not tell the police?"
41001But why?
41001But you also had a further motive?
41001But you have, I understand, been acting in concert with the man who calls himself Greer?
41001But, as you are aware of only half the tangled skein of mysterious facts, it is hardly likely that you''ll succeed, do you think? 41001 But,"I asked very pointedly,"pray tell me, Mr. Kirk, what was your object in calling upon me and inducing me to go to Sussex Place?"
41001By the latter, I take it, you mean ourselves?
41001By the way,he echoed suddenly,"do you know any other language besides English?"
41001By what train?
41001Ca n''t you see that this suspense is turning my brain?
41001Can I see him?
41001Can I see your mother?
41001Can not you believe us?
41001Can not you telegraph and ask?
41001Concerning what?
41001Could I telegraph to him?
41001Did I not tell you on the first evening you sat here with me that I was a dealer in secrets?
41001Did he mention that Edwards and Sutton were old friends of his?
41001Did he receive many letters?
41001Did he say when his master would be back?
41001Did he talk to you?
41001Did it alter his appearance much?
41001Did n''t they give any reason why they wanted to see the cover?
41001Did she say whether she is returning to London?
41001Did you follow him?
41001Did you read the telegram she received?
41001Did you see him? 41001 Did you take the Professor up to Edinburgh?"
41001Do you allege, then, that you were an actual witness of the cremation?
41001Do you happen to know a Mr. Kershaw Kirk?
41001Do you happen to know his whereabouts?
41001Do you happen to know who Kershaw Kirk really is?
41001Do you know Strassburg? 41001 Do you know him?
41001Do you know the porter who took his bag?
41001Do you know where he arrived from?
41001Do you think he''s gone to Glasgow?
41001Do you think that the Professor was struck down at the spot where he now is?
41001Does he give none?
41001Does he have many callers?
41001From me?
41001Greer?
41001Had you ever met the Professor before?
41001Has it been moved?
41001Has it not struck you that the telegram sent from Edinburgh may have been despatched by the assassin?
41001Has not Miss Ethelwynn told you anything?
41001Have I not already told you? 41001 Have n''t the police been informed?"
41001Have the windows been examined?
41001Have you been to Italy?
41001Have you ever been to the Professor''s house in London?
41001Have you not betrayed me? 41001 He had n''t been very long with you, had he?"
41001He is your friend-- eh?
41001He killed your master-- eh?
41001He wished you to go to Scotland out of the way, eh?
41001He would not allow you to go to him, eh?
41001He wrote to you?
41001He''s seldom here, then?
41001How can I find them? 41001 How can I have?
41001How can I tell, my dear sir? 41001 How can I, after all that has passed?"
41001How did you account for the bloodstain? 41001 How did you know that the Professor is in Scotland?"
41001How do you know that she did?
41001How do you know that, pray?
41001How long has Doctor Flynn lived there?
41001How will you obtain a medical certificate and get it buried by an undertaker?
41001How? 41001 Hulloa?
41001I presume, sir,he said,"that you are an agent of police?"
41001I suppose he seldom went out?
41001I suppose it is a most important one?
41001I suppose you wish to mislead me into the idea that she is back again in London, hiding from me, eh?
41001I wonder how you came to know that?
41001I wonder if thieves are inside? 41001 I wonder what that was?"
41001I wonder what the Professor has been doing to- day?
41001I wonder who''s ringing up?
41001I-- well, how can I tell? 41001 If anyone obtained access to the laboratory, then, they could steal the secret?"
41001If you are really my friend, if you really wish me to assist you, why not instruct me how to act? 41001 In another name-- eh?"
41001In what manner?
41001In what manner?
41001In what way?
41001Is Miss Ethelwynn at home?
41001Is he still there?
41001Is he?
41001Is that you, sir? 41001 Is there any actual, evidence of it?
41001Is there no other door-- no back door?
41001Is there no other means of access except through the boudoir?
41001Is this a fact?
41001Is your master at home?
41001Kirk?
41001Kirk?
41001May I come with you, Harry?
41001May it not be that you are somewhat prejudiced against him?
41001Miss Ethelwynn saw her father lying dead, as I did; how, therefore, can she identify you as her deceased parent? 41001 My dear Holford, why-- what''s the matter?"
41001Not going? 41001 Not if I appeal to you on behalf of Ethelwynn, on behalf of a girl whose very life is dependent upon your silence?"
41001Nothing else? 41001 Of course not,"I said,"but is your trust really well founded, do you think?
41001Of course, I''m not quite sure,the young man replied;"but is it not curious that Miss Greer and the servants are all out?
41001Of what?
41001Oh, there is someone there, eh?
41001Or by a window leading out on to some leads somewhere?
41001Shall I call the park- keeper at Clarence Gate? 41001 Shall I go for a doctor?"
41001Shall I wait for you?
41001She did n''t tell you her father''s whereabouts?
41001She may not be dead?
41001She told you that?
41001So you refuse your aid in assisting me to find my wife?
41001Somebody who you believe was disturbed by your ring at the door, eh?
41001Surely it is not my place to carry tales to you, is it?
41001Surely you do n''t believe that the girl has participated in any shamefully obtained profits?
41001Tell me,I asked the girl,"do they ever have a visitor named Kirk?"
41001Tell me-- once and for all-- are you aware of my wife''s whereabouts?
41001Tell me; she''s-- what?
41001That Italian fellow discharged them, did n''t he?
41001That was in Vienna?
41001That''s scarcely conclusive, is it? 41001 The Professor sent no reply to the message?"
41001The Professor was a friend of your aunt''s, I suppose?
41001The false telegram was dispatched from Turin, eh?
41001The telegram summoning her to Italy came after her return?
41001Then even I may not know the true facts?
41001Then even you are mystified by these strange happenings?
41001Then he brought you to Sussex Place on purpose to show you the dead body of my master?
41001Then he often goes abroad?
41001Then he-- he''s at home again?
41001Then how do you account for the movements I have heard inside?
41001Then she was in fear of discovery, eh?
41001Then surely it is a rather happy circumstance that we have met to- day?
41001Then tell it to me-- relieve this burden of a crime which is oppressing me?
41001Then the murdered person was not your friend?
41001Then the poor Professor is dead?
41001Then they are not friends of long standing?
41001Then they were secret experiments he was making?
41001Then what proof do you require?
41001Then who has?
41001Then why have n''t you told it to me?
41001Then why were you in the house at the time the traces of the crime were being effaced in the furnace?
41001Then you are a detective, after all? 41001 Then you are a friend of Kirk''s-- not of my father?"
41001Then you are not a police officer?
41001Then you are satisfied?
41001Then you refuse to accept even the park- keeper''s testimony?
41001Then, of course, you''ll go? 41001 Then, to put it plainly, I''ve nothing to hope for from you?"
41001This he has told you?
41001To the station-- eh?
41001Under exactly what circumstances has Mrs. Holford disappeared?
41001Was he about fifty, and rather thin?
41001Was your business of a pressing nature?
41001Well, Holford,he exclaimed, stretching his slippered feet lazily towards the fire,"so you have, after all, proved a traitor, eh?"
41001Well, Mr. Holford,he said,"why do n''t you speak candidly and openly?
41001Well, am I not endeavouring to elucidate the mystery?
41001Well, what then?
41001Well,I asked, after he was out of hearing,"what do you intend doing now?"
41001Well,I asked, going straight to the point,"what have you discovered?"
41001Well,he said at last,"what does it matter if the signorina is still alive, as you say?
41001Well-- and am I to be blamed for Langton''s pretended ignorance?
41001Well-- how do you know she is not here-- in London?
41001Well? 41001 Well?"
41001Well?
41001Well?
41001Well?
41001What about her maid Morgan?
41001What actual evidence have you upon that point, beyond my word-- repeated from the story told to me by Antonio?
41001What am I to do?
41001What can Antonio possibly know? 41001 What day was that?"
41001What did he say of me?
41001What do you say to that?
41001What do you suggest as my next move? 41001 What does Langton know?"
41001What does he want with a tyre when he has n''t got a car?
41001What does this mean?
41001What is he doing in Rome?
41001What is that?
41001What is your theory?
41001What kind of man was madame''s husband?
41001What matter the affairs of others, so long as the wife I love is innocent and at my side? 41001 What misfortune?"
41001What special feature can there be, pray? 41001 What was her attitude towards the Professor?"
41001What''s the matter? 41001 What''s this story of yours about Miss Greer presenting an appearance of death?"
41001What?
41001When did he last call?
41001When did he take his luggage?
41001When did you first know him?
41001When did you last see her?
41001When did you see him again?
41001When do you expect Mr. Merli back?
41001When?
41001Where did he alight?
41001Where is Flynn?
41001Where is Mabel?
41001Where is she?
41001Where is the unfortunate girl?
41001Where''s Antonio?
41001Where''s Miss Gwen? 41001 Where''s your coat?
41001Where''s your coat?
41001Who are you, please?
41001Who is he?
41001Who is he?
41001Who is the victim?
41001Who is this Professor of whom you have spoken?
41001Who killed Professor Greer?
41001Who was the man who went to Edinburgh on the night of the tragedy?
41001Who''s responsible for this, I wonder?
41001Who, may I ask, are you?
41001Why are you in such mortal fear of Langton?
41001Why are you so carefully hiding other facts?
41001Why did n''t she call Antonio?
41001Why did n''t you tell me this before, Gwen?
41001Why did she wish to return here in secret-- to the house wherein she knew her father was lying dead? 41001 Why did you entice me into this complicated tangle of crime and mystery?"
41001Why do n''t you call a doctor?
41001Why do n''t you speak quite plainly?
41001Why do you wish to extract this promise from me?
41001Why not be quite frank with me, Antonio?
41001Why not tell me more?
41001Why not?
41001Why not?
41001Why should I retaliate, if you are not responsible for my wife''s absence?
41001Why to Strassburg?
41001Why, did not you and I see him dead? 41001 Why, pray, will you be suspected of being a murderer?"
41001Why, what has happened?
41001Why,he exclaimed, turning slightly pale, and staring at me,"how did you know that?"
41001Why?
41001Why?
41001Why?
41001Why?
41001Why?
41001Why?
41001Why?
41001Why?
41001Why?
41001Why?
41001Why?
41001Will you go round to the front and see if there are lights in any of the rooms, while I remain here? 41001 Will you not try to discover where Mabel is?"
41001Will you step into my office?
41001Would it not be natural for your wife, on failing to find you in Florence, either to wire to her sister at home or to return home at once? 41001 Would you kindly tell him that Mr. Kirk desires to see him?"
41001Yes, why?
41001Yes,he replied;"and you?"
41001You actually mean that, signore?
41001You appear not to have approved of the lady''s connection with the sale of the patent?
41001You are a friend of the family, I suppose?
41001You are, I take it, the only agent in this country?
41001You believe him guilty, then?
41001You did n''t notice whence it had been despatched?
41001You did n''t see him again?
41001You do n''t happen to know to which hotel they''ve gone in Rome?
41001You do n''t know who rang you up?
41001You do not suspect any of the servants?
41001You have a Mrs. Holford staying here?
41001You have actual knowledge that Mr. Langton has quarrelled with Kirk?
41001You have been with your master in Hungary or in Roumania, I hear?
41001You have had some important business dealings with him, Sir Mark, I see from yesterday''s paper?
41001You have no hesitation in identifying him, eh?
41001You hear that, Joseph?
41001You know him?
41001You know his brother, of course?
41001You know the Professor, eh, Harry?
41001You mean Mr. Antonio? 41001 You mean she was not very happy with her husband?"
41001You mean that I should have profited pecuniarily by concealing the fact that Professor Greer is dead and that an impostor has assumed his identity? 41001 You mean you and your accomplices?"
41001You never heard her speak of the Professor before?
41001You say that the Professor was in Strassburg?
41001You suggest that she has purposely left me?
41001You suspect Kirk?
41001You suspect him of having a hand in her disappearance? 41001 You think she''s been tricked?"
41001You told Langton nothing, I trust?
41001You would cast a slur upon her good name?
41001You would really refrain from seeking further, providing you rediscover your wife?
41001You''ll be able to swear to him in a court of law?
41001You''ll go, I suppose?
41001You''re quite certain of that?
41001You''ve known Professor Greer a long time?
41001You''ve known him a long time, I presume?
41001You''ve lost your wife, eh?
41001You''ve sold some, of course?
41001You''ve told no one else of this?
41001You-- you followed him?
41001Your father did not, I believe, tell you of his projected visit to Germany before leaving?
41001Your only confidant is Antonio?
41001Your profession is not that of a detective?
41001And again, what connection could the Eckhardt tyre have with the strange affair?
41001And if so, with what motive?
41001And if we did?"
41001And why had she done so in the dining- room, of all places?
41001And why was every effort of mine to discover her met only by threats of impending disaster?
41001And why, most of all, had she not summoned Antonio?
41001Antonio, suave and cringing, suddenly put his head in at the door, asking:"Did you ring, signore?"
41001Are you coming down here?"
41001Are you quite certain that he is your friend, or only your pretended ally?"
41001At last she asked:"Have you packed your things, Harry?"
41001Besides, how could the two doors be locked behind the assassin?
41001But for what reason was my well- beloved Mabel, the loving wife whom I adored, held in the unscrupulous hands of those who killed Professor Greer?
41001But for what?"
41001But have n''t you any idea where he intended going?"
41001But have n''t you been in Florence?"
41001But that could not be, for had she not seen him dead with her own eyes?
41001But was not the truth a strange one?
41001But what account could I myself give of the reason of my call?
41001But why had she returned to the house in a manner so secret?
41001But why has the laboratory been broken open; and, again, why has the furnace been lit?
41001But,"he added, after a slight pause,"would you object to telling me how you first became acquainted with Signor Kirk?"
41001But,"he asked,"where did you meet the Signor Langton?"
41001But-- but, hark?"
41001But--"He hesitated, and then inquired,"Will you pardon me if I ask who you may be?"
41001Ca n''t you see, my friend, that you can assist in furthering the ends of justice-- in fastening the guilt upon the assassin?"
41001Can not you communicate with the Italian police concerning it?"
41001Could I tell her that the Professor, her father, had been cruelly done to death, and his body cremated in his own experimental furnace?
41001Could this be one of Kirk''s ingenious subterfuges in order to gain time?
41001Could this girl and my wife have been secretly acquainted?
41001Did I not tell you to remain silent and inactive?
41001Did not his daughter stand before his lifeless body?"
41001Did not those words of his conclusively prove complicity in the affair?
41001Did she awake and recognise him, or had she herself been an accomplice in securing her father''s sudden and tragic end?
41001Did you speak with him?"
41001Do you for one moment suppose that were I guilty I would have taken you to Sussex Place and explained the whole affair in detail?
41001Do you happen to know Sussex Place, Regent''s Park?"
41001Do you know him?"
41001For what reason could he desire Mabel''s presence in Florence?
41001For what reason, therefore, was she being misled, and why, oh, why, did she allow this perfect stranger to pose as myself?
41001For what reason?"
41001Forgive me for suspecting you, wo n''t you?"
41001German, for instance?"
41001Had I acted foolishly in doing so?
41001Had I not given my word of honour to be silent?
41001Had I not given my word of honour to that weird will- o''-the- wisp, Kershaw Kirk, that I would preserve silence?
41001Had I not sent that telegram from Broadstairs and signed it Kirk, and had not its receipt caused the false Professor quickly to change his quarters?
41001Had I not with my own eyes seen the poor girl lying cold and dead in the room downstairs?
41001Had any of the servants met with an accident?"
41001Had he merely come down there to have further words with me, or did he require a cover for some specific purpose?
41001Had he not told me plainly that by mere mention of his name to that young man, all hope of solving the enigma would be at an end?
41001Had not Ethelwynn already told me of Langton''s suspicion of this man, who was to me and mine such a mystery?
41001Had not Kirk previously admitted to me that his earnest endeavour was to secure my silence?
41001Had not Kirk told me that she had thrown herself upon her knees before her father''s body, vowing a fierce, bitter vengeance upon his assassin?
41001Had that bottle of acid been purposely smashed in order to dispel any unpleasant odour arising from the furnace?
41001Had that crafty servant at Sussex Place dispatched the false message, I wondered?
41001Had the man who had such a contempt for the police-- whom he denounced as red- taped blunderers-- succeeded in removing all trace of the crime?
41001Have I not already told you that I am entirely ignorant of her whereabouts?"
41001Have I not asked you all along for a clear statement of facts?
41001Have I not urged you to tell me where I can find my wife?"
41001Have you a half- brother, or some relation strongly resembling you?"
41001Have you any idea where he has gone?"
41001Have you ever been seized with misgivings of a person whom you have no just cause to doubt?
41001Holford?"
41001How can I form any conclusions or help you if you deliberately hold back from me some of the circumstances?"
41001How many thousands had Edwards and Sutton paid to him for that great secret that was not his own?
41001How much did Langton know, and what was the extent of the knowledge of that friend of his, the specialist in diseases of the throat and nose?
41001How was it that Mabel, my dear, beloved wife, had allied herself with that pair of adventurers?
41001How would he act?
41001How would you have acted?
41001How?"
41001I cried,"then you are acting in conjunction with Kirk?
41001I dined at home, and I suppose my manner was so preoccupied that Mabel, my wife, asked:"What''s the matter, Harry?
41001I had made a promise to Kershaw Kirk, yet now that he had so grossly deceived me, why should I keep it?
41001I said, turning to the Professor-- for how could I now doubt that it was actually he?
41001I suppose the telegram is n''t left about anywhere?"
41001I suppose you''ve been listening outside-- eh?
41001I wonder whether you would take me to Tottenham Court Road?"
41001I wonder,"he went on thoughtfully, after a pause--"I wonder if I told you whether you would keep the secret?"
41001If Kirk had caused the Professor''s death, then why had he enlisted my aid?
41001If he were not the Professor, then who could he have been?
41001If she had, then how are we to find her?
41001If so, by whom?
41001If so, was not that sufficient proof of his own guilt?
41001In what manner was he assisting his friend, Leonard Langton?
41001Indeed, does it not tend to confirm the story that the Professor did not die, and that he really killed the German in self- defence?"
41001Indeed, my own position was somewhat unenviable, for, being aware that a murder had been committed, was I not legally bound to give information?
41001Is he-- is he your friend, Mr. Holford-- or--_or your enemy_?"
41001Is it any use prolonging this argument?"
41001Is it in connection with any new invention?"
41001Is it not due to you, and you alone, that my wife is missing?"
41001Is it, indeed, to be supposed that I would place myself so entirely and completely in the hands of a stranger?"
41001Is not such a feeling the result of some unseen evil influence radiating from the person suspected-- often quite rightly?
41001Is not that quite feasible?"
41001Is not that so?"
41001Is she not anxious regarding her niece''s whereabouts?"
41001Is there any need to say more?
41001Is there any other message for me?"
41001It was theft, I knew, but was not theft justifiable in such unusual circumstances?
41001It was true that he had taken me into his confidence, but was it not done only for his own ingenious and devilish purpose?
41001Kirk?"
41001Kirk?"
41001Kirk?"
41001Langton?"
41001May I see the Commissioner myself?"
41001My profession?
41001Need I tell you that Mabel and myself stood beside the grave and watched the burial of poor Professor Greer at St. Peter''s, near Broadstairs?
41001Now what is your opinion?"
41001Or should I remain silent and watch?
41001Or was it Kirk himself?
41001Or was it that she herself was an accomplice?
41001Perhaps you will care to see him?
41001Perhaps you''ll come with me again-- eh?"
41001Place yourself in my position and ask yourself what you, in those circumstances, would have thought?
41001Presently he exclaimed:"Would you kindly excuse me?
41001Shall I tell him?"
41001She noted my surprise, and said:"Yes, why should n''t he?"
41001Should I go to the police in the morning and make a clean breast of the whole affair?
41001So you think I''m guilty of the crime, eh?"
41001Such being the case, how can I think ill of the eccentric old fellow?"
41001Surely by doing this I should be performing a work of public benefit?
41001Surely we would have a long time to wait for his arrival?
41001Surely when I invoked your aid I did not commit a grave error of judgment?
41001Surely you have acted as a good friend to me, therefore why should n''t I receive you?
41001The grave- eyed man- servant entered in a few seconds, and as he did so the new- comer said:"Antonio, will you please tell this gentleman who I am?"
41001The mystery of her disappearance was as great and inexplicable as the problem of who killed Professor Greer?
41001The young lady-- she''s--""What do you mean?
41001Then I added:"He was dead when we were together in the laboratory, was he not?
41001Then what did it all mean?
41001Then, of a sudden, he turned to the big grey parrot and asked in a shrill, squeaky tone, almost a croak:"Shall I tell him, Joseph?
41001Then, when the message came, she became almost frantic in her anxiety for your welfare, saying,` Did I not tell you so?
41001There is no reason for her leaving you, is there?"
41001Therefore what could I do?
41001Therefore you, surely, have your own suspicions?"
41001Therefore--""Then does his daughter actually deny having seen him, as I saw him, lying dead in the laboratory?"
41001To whom had the dead man signalled in the Morse code by raising and lowering the blind?
41001Was I not liable to prosecution if I failed to do so?
41001Was Mabel, my beloved and devoted wife, to fall helplessly into their unscrupulous hands?
41001Was he not fooling me when, all the time, he was the actual assassin?
41001Was he the man who killed Professor Greer?
41001Was he young-- or old?"
41001Was it any wonder, then, that I was neglecting my business, leaving all to Pelham, with whom I had communicated by telegram several times?
41001Was it because of fear of him?
41001Was it best to ascend the steps, knock boldly at the door, and inquire the reason of that frantic appeal?
41001Was it for that reason, in order to remove them, that Kershaw Kirk had been there?
41001Was it in Foley Street, that squalid house where I had heard a woman''s frantic screams?
41001Was it not astounding, startling?
41001Was it not, then, more than likely that they would ere long meet again?
41001Was it possible that I had been mistaken in Ethelwynn''s attitude, and that she genuinely believed that her father still lived?
41001Was it possible that he was the unknown assassin, and was only misleading me by clever and cunning devices?
41001Was it possible that her lover also knew the truth?
41001Was it possible that this impostor was the Professor''s twin brother?
41001Was it surprising, therefore, that I should endeavour to shield him?"
41001Was it suspicion of myself?
41001Was not his suggestion to me that I should forget the tragedy sufficient proof of double dealing?
41001Was not that telegram essentially a word of warning given by one accomplice to another?
41001Was not that, in itself, a staggering mystery, exclusive of that secret visit of Kirk''s to Foley Street, and the woman''s cry in that foggy night?
41001Was not that, in itself, sufficient evidence of collusion?
41001Was that person who received the signal afterwards the assassin?
41001Was this Kirk''s work?
41001Was this an additional phase of the already inscrutable problem?
41001Was this man, known as Martin, about to meet Kirk?
41001Was this, then, the reason why I had found him alone in the house?
41001Well, if he did not fear the crime of retaliation being brought home to him, why did he not go openly and lay the facts before the police?
41001Were not those the words of a woman who possessed some guilty knowledge, if not herself guilty of parricide?
41001Were the keys still upon the victim?"
41001What consultation, I wondered, had taken place there?
41001What could I do further?
41001What could I think?
41001What could I think?
41001What could have been the motive?
41001What could have been the story told to her to induce her to become the catspaw of men of that stamp?
41001What could have been their object?
41001What could it all mean?
41001What could it mean?
41001What could it mean?
41001What could it mean?
41001What could that young man want at the house of death?
41001What do you believe occurred?"
41001What do you mean?"
41001What do you say?"
41001What has happened now?"
41001What if I told him of the girl''s mysterious death?
41001What if it were the unknown assassin, returned to the scene of his crime?
41001What is the Professor''s address?"
41001What motive could he have in enticing her away from you?"
41001What motive could they have in killing such an excellent, easygoing master as the Professor?"
41001What motive had he in this?
41001What other reply could I make?
41001What proof have you?
41001What reply could I give?
41001What risks could Kirk be running by coming to Broadstairs?
41001What signal had he made-- and to whom?
41001What then?"
41001What was Germany''s wrath at being foiled in her dastardly attempt to obtain the secret of the new steel, to Mabel''s honour and her love?
41001What was it?"
41001What was the use?
41001What would he say?
41001What would they have thought had they known that I had allowed the mysterious Kirk, who had been lurking there, to escape?
41001What, I wondered, could have been the purport of that mysterious message in German that he had listened to on the telephone just before we had parted?
41001What, I wondered, could possibly be Ethelwynn''s motive in concealing her father''s death?
41001What, I wondered, was the reason of my strange friend being in there alone?
41001What, indeed, did that man want with one of the new tyres?
41001What, indeed, is the motive of all this inquiry?
41001What, indeed, would you have thought in the circumstances?
41001Where is she?"
41001Which of the three, I wondered, was a member of that most exclusive and old- fashioned institution?
41001Which way did young Langton go?"
41001Who and what is he?"
41001Who could he be, that, like the King himself, he could not be brought before a judge?
41001Who could tell?
41001Who had been entertained there by Kirk?
41001Who had killed Professor Greer?
41001Who told you I was back again?"
41001Who was he?"
41001Who was this Kershaw Kirk?
41001Who was this man that his belongings should be exempt from Customs''examination?
41001Who were the three persons who dined here this evening?
41001Who were those two mysterious callers who had followed his visit, and whom Pelham had seen?
41001Who_ did_ kill Professor Greer?
41001Whom were they expecting to arrive?
41001Why dare not Kirk meet him?
41001Why did you leave London so hurriedly?"
41001Why do you ask?"
41001Why had Mabel fled from me, after speeding so swiftly to meet me?
41001Why had he endeavoured to frighten me from going to Scotland Yard?
41001Why had my dear wife Mabel been decoyed out to Italy by them?
41001Why had she crept into the dining- room and removed her hat?
41001Why had she not ascended to her own room?
41001Why had the lights been so suddenly extinguished when Langton had rung the bell?
41001Why has Antonio fled to France?"
41001Why not?"
41001Why should I not tell the truth?
41001Why should I?"
41001Why was she concealing the fact of her father''s death?
41001Why, I thought you intended to see the Professor in Strassburg?"
41001Why?
41001Why?
41001Why?"
41001Why?"
41001Will they accord you no satisfaction?"
41001Will you become my friend, and assist me in trying to unravel it?"
41001Will you do so?
41001Will you give me another?"
41001Will you go and get a constable-- or shall I?"
41001Will you stay here to bar their exit, while I go out and find a constable?"
41001Will you, at least, give me your promise?"
41001Would it not be to her interest to mislead me and send me off upon a wild- goose chase?
41001Would you care to come with me now?
41001Yes?"
41001Yet had he not openly admitted his inability to prove an alibi?
41001Yet had not Kirk himself expressed a fear at meeting him?
41001Yet how could I recognise a man who was disguised, and whom I had never seen?
41001Yet how could he so impose upon Mabel as to be allowed to pass as her husband?
41001Yet how could she feign ignorance?
41001Yet how dare I divulge a word of what I knew?
41001Yet how was that possible with Mabel present?
41001Yet if I did so, would I be believed?
41001Yet if not, why had he taken such pains to disguise his appearance?
41001Yet in the garb of a mechanic, was I not much handicapped?
41001Yet that even surely did not affect the girl''s amazing attitude?
41001Yet was not Mabel''s liberty-- nay, perhaps her very life-- at stake?
41001Yet was not the temptation to put the question too great to be resisted?
41001Yet was there no suspicion upon Antonio Merli, the foreign servant, who seemed hand- in- glove with Kirk?
41001Yet were not those remains, in conjunction with the words of Kershaw Kirk, sufficient evidence of a grim and ghastly occurrence?
41001Yet why, if he were the actual criminal, had he taken me, a perfect stranger, into his confidence?
41001You are Mr. Kirk, are you not?"
41001You are, I take it, eager to make terms with your enemies, eh?"
41001You have a car outside, I suppose?
41001You have been judicious throughout, I hope?
41001You have known him for a long time-- eh?"
41001You have not forgotten the great issues which I explained depended upon your silence?"
41001You must be pretty busy down there-- eh?"
41001You realise your own peril-- eh?"
41001You seem unusually worried?"
41001You will remember that the mirror remained unclouded by her breath?"
41001You wish to tie me down to that?"
41001You''ll call and see me very soon, wo n''t you?"
41001Young or old?"
41001he asked, as we still stood before the closed door,"what shall we do?"
41001so Antonio is changing his tale in order to fit the new order of events-- is he?"
41001then tell my daughter to come up?"
4223''Ai n''t he too much on, sir?'' 4223 ''Bout the''Queen,''sir?"
4223''E came about''arf- past one in the morning, an''you do n''t expects we can stop up all night, do ye?
4223''Ow should I know?
4223''What street, sir?'' 4223 A PROPOS of what?"
4223A what?
4223A- hunting for what-- for a man as is already caught?
4223About-- about that?
4223After Rosanna?
4223Ah, did they?
4223Ah,said Gorby to himself as he re- lit his pipe;"your conscience is a- smiting you, is it?
4223An''I''m to be done out of my''ard earned tin, s''elp me?
4223An''what else?
4223An''who''s a- stoppin''of you?
4223And Miss Frettlby?
4223And Mother Guttersnipe?
4223And Sal Rawlins?
4223And Whyte?
4223And a horrible death- bed it was-- her screams ring in my ears yet-- but before she died she sent for me, and said--"What?
4223And another thing,said Calton, resuming his walk,"if your theory is correct, which I do n''t think it is, what became of Whyte''s coat?
4223And did the people who took you in never tell you anything about the murder?
4223And do you think you can do that?
4223And have you found out who did it?
4223And he came?
4223And he keeps good hours?
4223And how long was he with her?
4223And in the latter case,said Frettlby, without looking at the doctor, and playing with a paper knife,"do you regard the murderer as mad?"
4223And may I ask what is your propelling force?
4223And now what have you to tell me?
4223And now,he asked, looking at his companion, who had let down her veil, while the cab rattled quickly down the street,"what do you intend to do?"
4223And now,said Calton, looking at him,"do you remember the hansom cab murder, which caused such a sensation some months ago?"
4223And now?
4223And on what are your political opinions founded?
4223And the father?
4223And the others?
4223And the papers?
4223And the time was?
4223And then, I suppose, you went home?
4223And then?
4223And there is great danger?
4223And to whom does your suspicion point?
4223And what are you going to do?
4223And what did he buy it for?
4223And what did he do when he came?
4223And what did he say?
4223And what did you do?
4223And what for?
4223And what grounds have you for saying he''s not the right man?
4223And what have you come to see me about?
4223And what is it?
4223And what is, the name of the yacht?
4223And what like was the gentleman?
4223And what shall we do now?
4223And what time did you meet Whyte on Thursday night?
4223And what was the stranger''s name?
4223And what''s his defence?
4223And what''s to be done about it?
4223And what''s to be done?
4223And when did she join the Army?
4223And when shall I see you again?
4223And when was it Whyte got the papers?
4223And when you came back?
4223And where are you going?
4223And where did you go then?
4223And where is Mr. Whyte to- night?
4223And where were you?
4223And who else?
4223And who was Rosanna?
4223And why did you not tell him?
4223And you are going to look for that letter?
4223And you did not know who the man was to whom the papers were of such importance?
4223And you had no impression that Whyte was watched that night?
4223And you have no idea who it was?
4223And you will tell him?
4223And you wo n''t tell me where you were?
4223And you wo n''t tell me?
4223And you?
4223And--hesitating--"did you ever overhear one of these conversations?"
4223And''ow do you know my clock was ten minutes wrong?
4223Any hope?
4223Any message?
4223Anything peculiar about him?
4223Are n''t you?
4223Are you going away?
4223Are you sure of that?
4223Are you sure?
4223At what hour did you get home?
4223At what time?
4223But I thought that papa said he was not to be disturbed?
4223But do you know anything of the detective business?
4223But how?
4223But how?
4223But now that it has been conclusively proved that he is innocent, the question arises in every one''s mind,''Who is the murderer of Oliver Whyte?'' 4223 But suppose, in accordance with the wording of the will, she is entitled to all the money?"
4223But the warrant?
4223But what could she have told Fitzgerald to make him act in this silly manner? 4223 But what is its meaning?"
4223But who the deuce is this woman they call the''Queen''?
4223But why did Moreland keep still so long?
4223But why did n''t the people who nursed her tell her she was wanted? 4223 But why the detective?"
4223But why?
4223By what?
4223Ca n''t we?
4223Can you doubt it? 4223 Come now, on the night the''Queen,''as you call her, died, there was a gentleman came to see her?"
4223Could anyone have seen me?
4223Dead?
4223Dear me, sir,she chirped out in her shrill voice, as she placed her burden on the table,"are you took bad?"
4223Dear papa,cried Madge, as she entered rapidly, and threw her arms around his neck,"what have you been doing here all day by yourself?"
4223Did I understand you to say, Mrs. Sampson,he went on,"that Mr. Fitzgerald would be at home this afternoon?"
4223Did Mr. Frettlby know Sal was his child?
4223Did anyone hear you?
4223Did anyone see you?
4223Did he make any remark to you?
4223Did n''t he open it?
4223Did you ask Moreland about it?
4223Did you know that Whyte carried valuable papers about with him?
4223Did you not say he was out of town?
4223Did you notice if he received any message while he was with you?
4223Did you say anything likely to incriminate yourself?
4223Did you see anyone on your way home?
4223Did you see them?
4223Did you threaten him?
4223Did you walk home?
4223Do n''t read the papers?
4223Do n''t you think you would like to know my friends?
4223Do you know if Whyte had any enemies?
4223Do you know where Mr. Whyte is to be found?
4223Do you know, Brian,she went on,"that he was dressed just like you in a light overcoat and soft hat?"
4223Do you know,said Chinston, thoughtfully, as they stood and watched the cab drive off,"do you know what the end of that man will be?"
4223Do you remember the night she died?
4223Do you think so?
4223Do you think your landlady could supply me with brandy and soda?
4223Do you want to save his life?
4223Do you, indeed?
4223Does Mr. Fitzgerald live here?
4223Does Mr. Oliver Whyte live here?
4223Excellent, made me laugh awfully-- but why all this thusness?
4223First, where were you on the Thursday night preceding the murder?
4223For what?
4223From whom was the letter?
4223Gin, I suppose? 4223 Going a- hunting yourself, are you?"
4223Hang it, how did you know?
4223Hang it,he said, thoughtfully stropping his razor,"a thing with an end must have a start, and if I do n''t get the start how am I to get the end?"
4223Has she a doctor?
4223Have n''t you seen him lately?
4223Have n''t you seen the papers?
4223He called and saw Frettlby the other night, you say?
4223He goes right up to''er, and she ses,''Are you''e?'' 4223 He will not be back for a week-- but what do you mean that he wo n''t save his own life?"
4223Her name?
4223Himself?
4223How can you expect her to be?
4223How dare you say so?
4223How did Frettlby die?
4223How did he know her?
4223How did they find out?
4223How do you know it was Roger Moreland?
4223How do you know it was premeditated?
4223How do you know that?
4223How do you know there were any papers?
4223How do you know?
4223How do you know?
4223How do you know?
4223How long has that waste- paper basket been standing like that?
4223How the devil did he find out?
4223How was he implicated?
4223I did n''t kill''er, did I? 4223 I do n''t mind,"answered Mr. Frettlby rising;"but, is n''t afternoon tea at half- past one rather an anomaly?"
4223I have n''t been many minutes, have I, dear?
4223I heard all that at the trial, but what conversation passed between Mr. Fitzgerald and this woman? 4223 I let you know I am living, do n''t I?"
4223I suppose I must speak to him about it?
4223I suppose Mr. Whyte was in the habit of talking to this woman?
4223I suppose we must see Chinston?
4223I suppose you''re pretty sure he''s the man you want?
4223I think so,answered Fitzgerald, rising, and ringing the bell;"but is n''t it rather early for that sort of thing?"
4223I tooked up with a Chinerman,went on her granddaughter, wearily,"an''lived with''i m for a bit-- it''s orful, ai n''t it?"
4223I wonder if he got it?
4223I wonder if he knows anything about this affair,thought Gorby to himself"Where is Mr. Moreland to be found?"
4223I wonder if that old woman knows anything?
4223I wonder what it can be? 4223 I wonder what papa will say?"
4223I wonder why?
4223I-- I-- what''s that?
4223If I had told it, do n''t you see what difference it would have made to Madge?
4223If all that is in that packet were known,he said aloud, as he left the room,"what would the world say?"
4223If who is innocent?
4223If you are right, what about this?
4223In connection with whom?
4223In the open street?
4223Is he always in before twelve?
4223Is it about me?
4223Is n''t that the place where Mr Whyte got into the cab?
4223Is she dead?
4223Is that the composer of''Inasmuch''and''How so?''
4223Is this Mr. Fitzgerald''s room?
4223Is-- is-- is that the reason?
4223It shows that he had an appointment-- but where?
4223It''s ingenious enough,said the barrister;"but why should Moreland murder Whyte?
4223It''s never Whyte?
4223It''s the future ye want unveiled, dearie?
4223Knows what, sir?
4223Madge,he said, gravely, as she turned round,"what did your father say when you made that mistake?"
4223Makes what right?
4223Moreland?
4223My God,she muttered softly to herself;"will this suspense never end?"
4223My good woman,said the doctor, bending over the bed,"would you not like to see a minister?"
4223No defence? 4223 No,"she cried,"he never killed''i m, did''e?"
4223Not Whyte''s?
4223Nothing,echoed Calton, surprised,"then this is what Rosanna Moore told you when she died?"
4223Now that it is settled Moreland is to be arrested,said Calton,"how is it to be done?
4223Now then,he said,"now that we have got rid of that woman and her tongue, where are we to begin?"
4223Now, what the deuce is this for?
4223Now, who is this woman?
4223Of course, you recognised him afterwards?
4223Oh, I beg your pardon, doctor-- but is papa ill?
4223Oh, it was, was it?
4223Oh, it''s you at last, Brian?
4223Oh, my darling,he cried sadly,"can not you trust me?
4223Oh, suicide, is it?
4223Oh, that was Mr. Fitzgerald, was it?
4223Oh, you have your suspicions?
4223Oh,said her father, with a laugh, pushing his hat back,"moonlight is necessary to complete the spell, I suppose?"
4223Oh,''i m?
4223Only me,said Brian, ungrammatically;"disappointing, is n''t it?"
4223Prison does not improve a man-- does it?
4223Rather sudden conversion?
4223Read this?
4223Sal, Mark Frettlby''s child?
4223Shall I order the carriage?
4223So Mr. Whyte knew Mark Frettlby, the millionaire; but how did he obtain a photograph of the daughter?
4223So he is a temperate man?
4223So that''s what has brought the roses to your face, young lady?
4223So you do n''t believe in ghosts?
4223Speak about what-- the man who murdered Whyte?
4223Surely not Mark Frettlby?
4223Surely you do n''t want every song to have a moral, like a book of Aesop''s Fables?
4223That means you are going to get some?
4223That was the young man that gave evidence as to how Whyte got drunk?
4223That you are hungry, and want something to eat before you leave us?
4223The detective? 4223 The other one?"
4223Them two young''usseys gone?
4223Then do you know if he has been to the bank and cashed that cheque for five thousand, which Frettlby gave him?
4223Then he did not return to the cab?
4223Then he has been to the bank?
4223Then he went down to Toorak?
4223Then how did you find out?
4223Then it was not written from Toorak?
4223Then there is nobody else?
4223Then what the newspapers said was correct?
4223Then where did you go?
4223Then where is''e?
4223Then who do you think murdered Whyte?
4223Then who was the man who got into the cab with Whyte?
4223Then whom did she ask you to bring to her?
4223Then why did you take them from him?
4223Then why have you made such a mystery about it?
4223Then you acknowledge your guilt?
4223Then you do n''t think he will be discovered?
4223Then you refuse to tell me where you were between one and two o''clock on Friday morning?
4223Then, after you left Whyte, and walked along Russell Street, where did you go?
4223There is danger?
4223There is no such a word as impossible,retorted Brian, coolly, thinking of the famous remark in RICHELIEU,"Why should you refuse?
4223They would become as extinct as the moa; but where are your eyes, Puss, when you take an old man like me for your gay young Lochinvar?
4223They''ve found a clue, have they?
4223To advocate what?
4223Very probably,returned her father, dryly;"but where was he at one o''clock on Friday morning?"
4223Was he in good spirits?
4223Was he in the habit of going there?
4223Was it a jewel?
4223Was it an important paper?
4223Was it because he admired Miss Frettlby, and from all appearances, was going to marry her?
4223Was not the sea Made for the free-- Land for courts and slaves alone?
4223Well, Kilsip,said Calton, with a yawn, playing with his watch chain,"any good news to tell me?"
4223Well, and how do you connect him with the murder?
4223Well, and how do you intend to set about the matter?
4223Well, what of that?
4223Well,he said briskly,"can you tell us what startled Miss Frettlby?"
4223Well,he said impatiently, looking at the two tall young people standing before him,"what do you want to see me about?"
4223Well-- well,said Calton, rather impatiently,"what is it you wanted to see me about?"
4223Were n''t you talking about it?
4223Were you intoxicated?
4223What Club?
4223What about?
4223What alarmed Miss Frettlby?
4223What became of her?
4223What d''y think of it?
4223What d''y want?
4223What did you tell him?
4223What do I care about yer quod? 4223 What do you mean by dowsing the glim?"
4223What do you mean by following me all over the place?
4223What do you mean-- was she not his mistress?
4223What do you mean?
4223What do you mean?
4223What do you mean?
4223What do you propose to do?
4223What do you say, Fitzgerald?
4223What do''e want?
4223What does that man want, Brian?
4223What for?
4223What for?
4223What grounds can that man have for suspecting me?
4223What has Whyte been doing; running away with someone''s wife, eh? 4223 What have you been doing all morning?"
4223What have you got?
4223What if I am?
4223What is it?
4223What is this Mr. Moreland like?
4223What is?
4223What man?
4223What news have you?
4223What of that? 4223 What on earth were you questioning that girl about?"
4223What other one?
4223What the deuce does she mean?
4223What the devil do you want?
4223What was he like?
4223What was the cause of his being put out?
4223What were the papers?
4223What''av the boys been up to now?
4223What''s in a name?
4223What''s the good of all this conjecturing?
4223What''s the matter?
4223What''s the matter?
4223What, the drink?
4223What-- Roger Moreland?
4223What?
4223What?
4223When I marry you how can we be happy together, with the shadow of a secret between us?
4223When did you discover this?
4223When did you leave the Club?
4223When was this letter delivered?
4223Where are your facts?
4223Where did Whyte live?
4223Where did you spring from?
4223Where have you been all this time?
4223Where is she?
4223Where is she?
4223Where was Mr. Whyte killed?
4223Where was Sal the whole time?
4223Where were you?
4223Where''s Mother Guttersnipe?
4223Where''s the money for finin''her?
4223Which half?
4223Which means?
4223Who brought it?
4223Who came?
4223Who is Roger Moreland?
4223Who never killed him?
4223Who said-- the''Queen?''
4223Who was she?
4223Who was that woman who died here three or four weeks ago?
4223Who was the witness?
4223Who were his friends?
4223Who''s there?
4223Who''s they, Lizer?
4223Who''s''e?
4223Whom does she mean?
4223Whose is that?
4223Why did you detest him?
4223Why did you leave him so abruptly?
4223Why did you not come before?
4223Why do n''t you trust me?
4223Why do you ask?
4223Why like melancholy?
4223Why not?
4223Why should n''t he, sir?
4223Why, do n''t you feel well?
4223Why? 4223 Why?"
4223Why?
4223Why?
4223Why?
4223Why?
4223Will you have some breakfast?
4223Woman?
4223Wool market, I suppose?
4223Would you allow me to have a few moments''conversation?
4223Writing,said Brian, as he put the letter in his pocket,"what about, I wonder?
4223Yes, I do,replied the doctor, rather astonished;"but what has that to do with the will?"
4223Yes, I have a bit of news-- haven''t you heard it?
4223Yes, was n''t it?
4223Yes?
4223Yes?
4223You ai n''t a parson?
4223You are acquainted with his personal appearance, of course?
4223You are certain?
4223You ask that?
4223You did not know it was Whyte when you found him lying drunk near the Scotch Church?
4223You did not see the gentleman who came?
4223You do n''t think I''m such a fool as to tell you? 4223 You do not regret?"
4223You gave it to him, of course?
4223You had high words, evidently?
4223You have n''t heard the last new song by Frosti, have you?
4223You have no idea?
4223You knew him very well, sir?
4223You know what these are?
4223You say you did not come back and get into the cab?
4223You think that you will be able to find the woman who wrote that?
4223You want to see me, sir?
4223You wanted to see me?
4223You were going to meet some one, I suppose?
4223You will stay to dinner, of course, Fitzgerald?
4223You''ll drink it, I suppose?
4223You''re not engaged, sir?
4223You''re takin''a plan of the''ouse to rob it, are you?
4223You''ve been''ere afore?
4223''Was your clock in the kitchen right?''"
4223''Who''s him?''
4223A case with jewels?
4223Ai n''t I bin in Pentrig'', an''it ai n''t''urt me, it ai n''t?
4223And Moreland wears a ring in that way?"
4223And after the man in the light coat said"good- night"to the deceased, what happened?
4223And afterwards he seemed to recognise him?
4223And during that time you heard no noise in the cab?
4223And that man was--""Not Mark Frettlby?"
4223And third, who did it?
4223And was he not right to sing when the future seemed so bright and pleasant?
4223And was it open when he got in?
4223And was that paper of importance to you?"
4223And what did he say?
4223And when did he get out?
4223And when did you see him again?
4223And why did she leave the applauding Melbourne public and the flesh- pots of Egypt?
4223And you asked him where you were to drive the deceased to?
4223Are you Rosanna Moore''s mother?"
4223But I say,"he added, turning to Sal,"what were they talking about?"
4223But how is this to be managed?
4223But tell me,"he went on,"what''s the matter with her-- old age?"
4223But why all this questioning about Whyte?
4223But why tell Chinston?"
4223CALTON: And did you tell her you had put the clock right?
4223CALTON: And it never struck you it might be a different man?
4223CALTON: And you were elevated?
4223CALTON: Are you sure?
4223CALTON: Are you sure?
4223CALTON: At what time did you put it right?
4223CALTON: Between that time and two in the morning, was it possible for the clock to gain ten minutes?
4223CALTON: Did he wear any rings on the right hand?
4223CALTON: Did he wear gloves?
4223CALTON: Did the deceased mention anything about papers?
4223CALTON: Did you notice any difference in his voice?
4223CALTON: Did you see your aunt that night?
4223CALTON: Do you then recognise the prisoner as the man who hailed the cab?
4223CALTON: How do you know?
4223CALTON: Is the prisoner the same gentleman you drove to Powlett Street?
4223CALTON: So you were in such a condition that you did not observe very closely the man who hailed you?
4223CALTON: Then it is only because the man who got into the cab was dressed like the prisoner on that night that you thought they were both the same?
4223CALTON: Then she was still under the impression that it was ten minutes fast?
4223CALTON: What time did you get home?
4223CALTON: What was deceased excited about when you met him?
4223CALTON: What were you talking about?
4223CALTON: When you drove up to him on the St. Kilda Road, where was he, and what was he doing?
4223CALTON: Would it gain at all?
4223CALTON: You are quite certain?
4223CALTON: You were sober, I suppose?
4223CROWN PROSECUTOR: And he met you a few minutes past one o''clock?
4223CROWN PROSECUTOR: And you never lost sight of the prisoner the whole time?
4223CROWN PROSECUTOR: Could you hear it at East Melbourne?
4223CROWN PROSECUTOR: Have you ever seen any such ring in his possession?
4223CROWN PROSECUTOR: How do you know it was exactly twenty- five to two when you left him?
4223CROWN PROSECUTOR: How do you know that?
4223CROWN PROSECUTOR: Were you asleep?
4223CROWN PROSECUTOR: You are quite certain that the prisoner was the man you met on that night?
4223CROWN PROSECUTOR: You are sure your clock was right?
4223Can you give a description of the gentleman in the light coat, who was holding the deceased when you drove up?
4223D''y want me to murder ye, singin''''em funeral things?"
4223Did he look back?
4223Did you hear any sounds of fighting or struggling in the cab during the drive?
4223Did you hear it?"
4223Did you not think that curious?
4223Did you not think that the deceased was too drunk to direct you?
4223Did you notice any striking peculiarity about him?
4223Did you notice anything peculiar about the man in the light coat?
4223Did you notice if he wore a ring?
4223Did you observe if the gentleman in the light coat had his handkerchief with him?
4223Did you see him coming back?
4223Did you see his face then?
4223Did you see his face?
4223Does that mean that he has n''t been convicted by a jury, or that you think that Fitzgerald is innocent?"
4223Fitzgerald,"he said,"have you left the attractions of Collins Street for the still greater ones of Clubland?"
4223Fitzgerald?"
4223Fitzgerald?"
4223Fitzgerald?"
4223For how long did the man in the light coat talk to you?
4223Frettlby?"
4223Frettlby?"
4223Frettlby?"
4223Good- looking?"
4223Had he it with him?"
4223Has Moreland got it?"
4223Have you any practical proofs?"
4223He did not say why he was on the St. Kilda Road at such an hour?
4223He knew that Whyte had chloroform on him, therefore he followed him that night and murdered him?"
4223He spoke then as if he knew the deceased?
4223He was in with the''Queen''the whole time, I suppose?"
4223He would cut the Gordian knot of all his difficulties, and then his secret would be safe; safe?
4223Her name?"
4223How could you tell that?
4223How do I know all these traits of Mr. Whyte''s character, morally and socially?
4223How do you know?
4223How is he?"
4223How long were you looking after him?
4223How often did you call to the deceased when you got to the Junction?
4223How was he lying?
4223I managed to do so while he was out, and found--""A mare''s nest?"
4223I presume you mean Collins Street?"
4223I suppose I am pretty well canvassed?"
4223I suppose it''s probable he''ll call again?"
4223I ventured to disagree with the wiseacres who made such a remark, and asked myself,''Who was this woman who died at Mother Guttersnipe''s?''
4223I wonder what for?"
4223I, therefore, want to find out if he is a good life to insure; does he live temperately?
4223If he killed Whyte, what made him go and see Frettlby?"
4223If man is a gregarious animal, how much more, then, is a woman?
4223In cross- examination:-- CALTON: When you went into the street, after leaving the hotel, did you see the deceased?
4223In cross- examination:-- CROWN PROSECUTOR: You have never seen the prisoner wearing a diamond ring?
4223Is he still in Melbourne?"
4223Is that all your proof?"
4223Is this true?"
4223Love?
4223Man or woman?"
4223Nearly every second man in Melbourne wears a diamond ring?"
4223Now then, have I not found out a good deal without you, and do you still decline to reveal the rest?
4223Now, I wonder if he has any relations here?
4223Now, the question was,"What did he go to see Mark Frettlby for?"
4223Now, who do you think?"
4223Now, why was he so anxious Moreland should not be seen by any one?
4223Revenge?
4223Robbery?
4223Second, what was he killed for?
4223Ses I,''Who''s''i m?''
4223She bounced in at the door as bold as brass, and sings out,''Is he in?''
4223She looked at him with her bright, beady eyes, already somewhat dimmed with the mists of death, and said, in a harsh, low whisper--"Why?"
4223She opened her eyes, and muttered drowsily--"Who''s you?
4223So his name is Oliver Whyte, is it?
4223That was within a few hours of his death?
4223That''s clear enough, but the question is, What was it he wanted?
4223The gentleman in the light coat apparently did not know where the deceased lived?
4223Then he buttoned it before he came back and got into the cab?
4223Then ses she,''Do you know what I''m a- goin''to tell you?''
4223Then she ses,''It''s about''er;''and ses''e, lookin''very white,''''Ow dare you''ave''er name on your vile lips?''
4223There are three things to be discovered-- First, who is the dead man?
4223This would be followed invariably by a query in chorus of"who killed him then?"
4223Well?"
4223Were his clothes torn or disarranged in any way?
4223Were you, or were you not, slightly the worse for drink?
4223What did he say when he got out of the cab on the St. Kilda Road?
4223What did he say when you asked him if he knew the deceased?
4223What has he been doing?
4223What if she were to die, and he to lose the true- hearted woman who stood so nobly by him in his trouble?
4223What is her name?"
4223What kind of a letter was it?"
4223What kind of hat was it he wore-- a wide- awake?
4223What motive had he?"
4223What time was it when you stopped at Powlett Street?
4223What was there peculiar about that?
4223What''s the matter with him?"
4223What''s up?"
4223When did you come over?"
4223When did you notice this?
4223When the gentleman in the light coat got out did he appear disturbed?
4223Where''s your father?"
4223Who are you, impertinence?"
4223Who are you?"
4223Who is he?"
4223Whom do you suspect?"
4223Why did you get into the cab with him?"
4223Why did you take it?"
4223Why do you ask?"
4223Why not?"
4223Why should he trouble himself about the crime of another?
4223Whyte was, as we know, drunk when he got into the cab-- and you--?"
4223Whyte?"
4223Wo n''t you come in, sir?"
4223Would that have anything to do with the death of deceased?
4223You are not going to confess you killed him?"
4223You did not have a drink, say at the Oriental Hotel, which, I believe, is near the rank where your cab stands?
4223You go on business, I presume?"
4223You remember her, Frettlby?"
4223You say there was a tendency to fatty degeneration of the heart?
4223a morning coat?"
4223and she says--""What?"
4223and what do you want?"
4223and, in fact, all about him?"
4223but will a jury?"
4223cried Gorby''s cabman, looking through his trap- door in the roof of the hansom,"''ow long''s this''ere game agoin''to larst?
4223he did not commit suicide; what makes you think so?"
4223he said with a forced laugh,"do you really expect me to play lawn tennis on such a day?
4223indignantly"Then you remember?"
4223keep early hours?
4223of course you do n''t, just because I''ve caught him; perhaps, when you see him hanged, you''ll believe it then?"
4223said Mr. Gorby, drawing a long breath,"and then?"
4223what are you?
4223will it do any good?"
4223you know it, then?"
4223you think he has hidden it?"
4223you were the man who hailed the hansom?"
42902A row in the theatre?
42902A smaller one than this? 42902 A what?"
42902About the Company, eh?
42902Afford them, my dear madam? 42902 After all the lies he''s owned up to?"
42902Am I not to see it?
42902Am I to know nothing beyond that meeting at the gate?
42902An old friend, then?
42902And is that all?
42902And is your curiosity satisfied?
42902And my mother?
42902And nothing came of it, as usual?
42902And that fellow on the floor?
42902And the salary?
42902And what did you do with the gold?
42902And what time was this?
42902And where is Lowndes?
42902And where will the crofters come in then?
42902And yet-- oh, how could I destroy his letter? 42902 And you actually hesitated?"
42902And you call that your money?
42902And you,he roared, flourishing his blackthorn over the small boy''s head,"what right have you here?
42902And your board?
42902Are the fees so high?
42902Are you alone?
42902Are you going to take us, sir?
42902Burn it? 42902 But how could you know my ship?"
42902But how-- how?
42902But how?
42902But perhaps his energy has found another outlet? 42902 But suppose they say what they said before, sir?"
42902But the Crofters are paying such a dividend?
42902But what''s the good if he''s given me away beforehand? 42902 But when shall I pay you back?"
42902But why?
42902But you are a fair mathematician?
42902But you believe in it now?
42902But you do n''t believe what they say?
42902But you have a man- servant, too?
42902But you say he has helped you so much?
42902But, surely, my boy,cried his mother,"you have forgotten what you said to me last night?"
42902But,said Harry, as they reached the station and were waiting for the train,"you not only keep servants----""Servants?"
42902But----"But what?
42902Can not,he said gently,"or dare not?"
42902Come, come, ladies and gentlemen,cried he,"have n''t we done enough for one night?
42902Come,said Harry,"do you know something against the school, or what?"
42902Consented to it?
42902Did I say I expected any, Uncle Spencer?
42902Did he write to anybody?
42902Did you ask her?
42902Did you hear what I said?
42902Did you hear what he said to me? 42902 Did you not think it good of him to rush from Scotland to meet you and then bring you all the way to your-- new-- home?"
42902Did you suppose I never saw your name in the papers, Harry? 42902 Do I know it?"
42902Do n''t I tell you it''s more than half a forgery?
42902Do n''t you know her?
42902Do n''t you like him, dear?
42902Do n''t you write?
42902Do you always walk two- and- two?
42902Do you dare to tell me,cried Harry,"that you believe what they believe?"
42902Do you keep a servant?
42902Do you know where my bag is?
42902Do you mean that he is-- dead?
42902Do you mean that you have quarrelled?
42902Do you mean to tell me it has come to nothing?
42902Do you suppose now that he is living or dead?
42902Do you think I am the man to put myself at your mercy?
42902Do you think fifty?
42902Do you think my mother would tell you a lie?
42902Do you want to force me to have you turned out?
42902Do you want to get rid of me?
42902Do you write?
42902Do you?
42902Does n''t he come here now?
42902Dressing- down?
42902Father-- father-- is it really you?
42902Fifty what?
42902For my poor little verses? 42902 For telling you the truth?
42902Forgotten it?
42902From the man who may be at the bottom of our disgrace? 42902 From what you read?"
42902Gordon Lowndes-- you must have heard of me?
42902Got to be going, have you?
42902Hardly worth while?
42902Has he done so much?
42902Has he? 42902 Has it never entered yours?"
42902Have I never shown you the parody on Gray''s Elegy he won a guinea for when he was fourteen? 42902 Have I not told you that I never met him?
42902Have n''t I just asked you if you were the only master? 42902 Have we no servant, mother?"
42902Have you come instead of Mr. Scrafton, sir?
42902He did give you an interview, however?
42902He has been here?
42902Here in the neighbourhood?
42902Honest Injun, sir?
42902How about this, then? 42902 How can you expect it, when every day he has been seeking work in the City?
42902How could you?
42902How did I know you were a stranger to Richmond?
42902How did you know that?
42902How do you know I do n''t feel like that myself? 42902 How do you know?"
42902How do you know?
42902How do you mean?
42902How much, then?
42902How old are you, Henry?
42902How on earth do you know I have one?
42902How on earth do you know mine?
42902How should I know anything about him?
42902How, my boy?
42902How?
42902I beg your pardon?
42902I presume,said he,"that all the row last night was kicked up by the pit and gallery?"
42902I saw him through the ground glass; who can it be?
42902I say, Woodman, do n''t you hear? 42902 I suppose, Mary, that you are alluding to the productions you have shown me in the paper with the unspeakable name?
42902I thought old friends were barred?
42902I thought we were agreed about that, mother?
42902I thought you bloated Johnnies were never in a hurry? 42902 I thought you lived with your mother?"
42902I was under the impression, Mr. Ringrose, that I said an hour and a half?
42902I wonder who would be the best people to go to?
42902I''m sorry to trouble you, Mr. Backhouse, but can you tell me where I can find him?
42902If you love me,she whispered,"will you ask no more questions of me-- or of anybody?
42902In my office? 42902 In what shape would he have the money?"
42902Is it impossible for me to have a word with you alone?
42902Is it more than a faint?
42902Is it so many years since you shared a cabin on a ship called the_ Sobraon_, with a chap of the name of Barker?
42902Is she not well?
42902Is the woman not nice?
42902Is there nothing we can do?
42902Is this your deliberate decision?
42902It leads to nothing; besides-- excuse me, Henry-- but do you think you are scholar enough yourself to-- to presume to-- teach others?
42902It was no good, you say?
42902It would be easier-- don''t you think-- if we never spoke of this?
42902It''s my business now-- not yours?
42902It''s pretty plain, is n''t it?
42902May I ask what you want with him?
42902May I keep them?
42902May I see?
42902May you arst?
42902Mother, did you expect it?
42902Mother, do n''t you know?
42902Mr. Huxtable-- in the drawing- room?
42902Mr. Lowndes is out?
42902Mr. Ringrose, what do you mean? 42902 Mrs. Ringrose has never been back since she first went away?"
42902My dear sir, why give yourself away?
42902My father would refuse to touch it?
42902Need I see him?
42902Never,he replied;"will you show it to me, Miss Lowndes?
42902Not Wintour Phipps?
42902Not about those rotten verses?
42902Not fifty pounds?
42902Not next door, I hope?
42902Not to my mother?
42902Not to your own mother?
42902Now which way do you generally go?
42902Now, mother, which do you think the best pair?
42902Now, will you take me up to bowl out Scrafton, or shall I call to him to come down, and make a scene here in the street? 42902 Of which particular profession were you thinking?"
42902Offended, my boy? 42902 Only half; well?"
42902Or have we to make you?
42902Or officious?
42902Perhaps you were on the Modern Side? 42902 Prove it, do you say?
42902Read where?
42902Several years? 42902 Shall I ever see you meanwhile?"
42902She is in lodgings, then, and alone?
42902So my father ran away with their money and left the works to go to blazes-- and my mother to starve?
42902So that''s what brings you to me?
42902So this is the other way of treating them?
42902So you are Woodman?
42902So you went ashore together?
42902Son of Henry Ringrose, the ironmaster?
42902Steps-- steps, do you say?
42902Surely five is enough to show whether a fellow knows his own mind?
42902Surprised to see me, are you?
42902Taking a country seat?
42902Tell me,at length whispered Harry:"is-- either of them-- dead?"
42902That a master?
42902That''s not true, Lowndes?
42902The verses? 42902 Then are you Miss Lowndes?"
42902Then how can you bear the sight of him?
42902Then there are children?
42902Then what are you to believe?
42902Then what did he do?
42902Then what do you mean?
42902Then what_ will_ it be when we are married?
42902Then who is here?
42902Then why did you do it?
42902Then why should you dislike to see me in it?
42902Then why were you such a blockhead as to put yourself at my mercy to- night?
42902Then you dislike him too?
42902Then you do n''t think much of my chances of that-- three hundred? 42902 Then you know nothing about book- keeping, for example?"
42902Then you wo n''t be offended,said Harry, greatly relieved,"if I tell you that I have had one or two other irons in the fire?"
42902Then you would leave school in the Sixth Form?
42902Then, at any rate, you have brought enough home to prevent your being a burden to your mother? 42902 There''s the ferry,"said one; and when Harry said,"Oh, there is a ferry, then?"
42902This year?
42902To concoct the forgery I''ve been shown to- night? 42902 To myself?"
42902Wad- you- doing- there?
42902Wait? 42902 Was it after he left my mother up north?"
42902Was it after he was supposed to have disappeared?
42902Was it since I asked you the question last?
42902Was it the evening?
42902Was that not enough for you?
42902We all call him Lennie, and Reggie Reggie, and Baby Baby; do n''t we, you fellows? 42902 We''re not partners; not even in the same line of business; but we share the office between us, and the clerks, too-- don''t we, Bacchus?"
42902Well, David, how are you? 42902 Well, Ringrose, my boy, what brought you along so early?
42902Well, Ringrose, what can I do for you?
42902Well, but look here: you''re not going to run me in if I do?
42902Well, have you brought them?
42902Well, my boy?
42902Well, well, I have no time to argue with you, Henry;_ my_ time is precious, so may I ask how you propose to fill yours now? 42902 Well, what of that?
42902Well, what''s the matter? 42902 Well, where''s another bottle of whisky before you go?"
42902Well, who is it?
42902Well, why not lose your bag on the way? 42902 Well, will you read me and say what you think?"
42902Well?
42902Well?
42902Well?
42902Well?
42902What about it?
42902What about?
42902What am I doing?
42902What are the lower branches?
42902What are you doing?
42902What are_ you_ doing here? 42902 What charge have you to bring against me?"
42902What did you say?
42902What do you mean, mother?
42902What do you mean?
42902What do you mean?
42902What do you think he wanted?
42902What do_ you_ want?
42902What good could you have done? 42902 What have I said?
42902What have you come for?
42902What have you said?
42902What is it you want to post?
42902What is it, my boy?
42902What is she living on?
42902What is that?
42902What is there between you and that man Scrafton?
42902What makes me think it?
42902What makes you think I am acquainted with the man you mention?
42902What name?
42902What proofs have you? 42902 What shall you do with the rest?"
42902What sort of business?
42902What was your destination?
42902What''s bringing him, mother?
42902What''s that?
42902What''s the good of going?
42902What''s your name?
42902What, have you been out?
42902What, leave you for thirty pounds, when I can make twenty- six at home?
42902What, like that?
42902What, not enough for you?
42902What, to get like me?
42902When did he come back?
42902When did he cross?
42902When did he die?
42902When does the next train leave?
42902When has he helped you?
42902When was that?
42902When was the last?
42902When?
42902When?
42902Where are they?
42902Where did you get it?
42902Where do you come from?
42902Where is he not?
42902Where is he?
42902Where is my father, then?
42902Where was it he died?
42902Where were you before?
42902Where''s the capitalist?
42902Where-- did-- you-- get it?
42902Where?
42902Which boat- train?
42902Which man Scrafton?
42902Which of you am I to believe?
42902Which of you saw him last?
42902Who are the chief creditors?
42902Who are''they,''mother?
42902Who did you think it was?
42902Who do?
42902Who gave you leave?
42902Who generally does?
42902Who is he, then?
42902Who is he?
42902Who knows?
42902Who put that into your head?
42902Who?
42902Who?
42902Why did n''t you write?
42902Why did you pretend you knew nothing about him? 42902 Why is it impossible?"
42902Why must you? 42902 Why not, mother?"
42902Why not?
42902Why, Ringrose, what the blazes are you doing down here, and who are your young friends?
42902Why-- Harry?
42902Why? 42902 Why?"
42902Why?
42902Will either of you fellows lend me five bob for the cab?
42902Will you give me the afternoon to think it over?
42902Will you give me your word to return it instantly?
42902Will you have the goodness to go?
42902With ten thousand pounds that did not belong to him?
42902With you and me?
42902With you?
42902Wo n''t I?
42902Would you be my critic?
42902Write what, my dear Mary?
42902Write what?
42902Yes-- do you know it?
42902Yes; that''s your writing, is n''t it? 42902 Yes?"
42902You are doubtless aware,began Lowndes,"that the iron trade in this country has long been going from bad to worse?
42902You are returning to London yourself?
42902You are sure?
42902You believe him?
42902You bought them in, mother?
42902You call writing for the_ Tiddler_ something better?
42902You can?
42902You consented to this?
42902You decline my offer?
42902You did n''t pawn it?
42902You have n''t offended him, I hope?
42902You have seen him here in this house?
42902You have the key of the flat?
42902You have walked my boys to Richmond Park and back? 42902 You mean at Berkeley Square?"
42902You mean to tell me my father absconded?
42902You once told me that you knew my father?
42902You really think so?
42902You spoke of Innes, mother?
42902You think your father knew all about it?
42902You think? 42902 You threaten us?"
42902You will never breathe it to a soul?
42902You''re not going out, are you?
42902You-- a paid master in my school-- lend one of my boys that vulgar, vicious, abominable paper, after I have forbidden it in the school?
42902You? 42902 You_ write_ for it?"
42902_ Uncle Tom''s Magazine._"Did you actually send some verses to_ Uncle Tom_?
42902''Why count the odds in the day of battle?''
42902*****"Do you remember how I taught you to swim when you were a tiny shrimp?
42902Ai n''t you going to ask me in?"
42902And if the fellow is n''t going to take me on, why on earth should I go and see him?"
42902And the-- ten thousand pounds?"
42902And to whom did you make this promise?"
42902And what happens?
42902And what have you got there?"
42902And what then was his wisest course?
42902And what was Lowndes doing here, and what was Scrafton doing upstairs, unless they were accomplices still?
42902And which of us does not need forgiveness from the other?
42902And why did you do your best?
42902And why in the world should the master of an excellent temper have lost it on provocation so ludicrously slight?
42902And yet, was there anything to be gained by his returning with the police?
42902Are not three weeks running good enough?"
42902Are you the only master?"
42902Between fifty and a hundred pounds, I take it?"
42902Bickersteth''s?"
42902Burn the last letter I may ever have from him?
42902But already he felt that he could say anything to her, and"You knew my father?"
42902But how could I?
42902But how could he believe the word of that ghoul upstairs?
42902But why warn him?
42902But you claim to have been his friend?
42902Ca n''t you get up when you''re spoken to?"
42902Ca n''t you see he''s only trying to turn the tables on me?
42902Ca n''t you see that they''re much bigger and finer than the rest?"
42902Can you not leave it in the hands of Providence-- for my sake?
42902Can you swear that my father is all right?"
42902Come, Ringrose, I thought you were sportsman enough to stand by the man who has stood by you?"
42902Could he come for a day or two before the end of the term?
42902Did Miss Lowndes know about it?"
42902Did n''t I do the best I could for you when I was on the rocks myself?
42902Did n''t I stand by you when you landed?
42902Did n''t he come here yesterday to tell your father?"
42902Did n''t you know about the Company?
42902Did you tell the Editor how long we have taken him in?"
42902Do I look a burglar?"
42902Do n''t say you have n''t a bob, Bacchus?
42902Do n''t you know me?"
42902Do n''t you see the distinction?
42902Do you dislike being watched?"
42902Do you follow me, Ringrose?
42902Do you hear, you lying devil?
42902Do you know anything about him?"
42902Do you see that house with the yellow balcony in the far corner?
42902Do you think I''d have refused your demands this evening if I had n''t had one?
42902Do you wish to speak to me?"
42902Grosvenor Square?
42902Had n''t you better wait until we''re on our way back to town?"
42902Had they planned the wrong which had ruined and disgraced his family?
42902Has anything happened?"
42902Have you any?"
42902Have you ever played roulette?"
42902Have you seen anything about it, Ringrose?"
42902Have you?"
42902He is a strange mixture of good and bad, but which of us is not?
42902He is at present cooling his heels at Scotland Yard, but may be on the job again any day, so why not on ours?
42902He knew as much, perhaps, as the average boy on going up to the university from a public school, and of what use was it to him?
42902He never failed?"
42902He now said he would try his hand on the article some day, but it would take time, and would anybody accept it when written?
42902He will have told the fellow I ca n''t even write an office fist, and am generally no use, so why should he take me on?
42902How am I to believe in such friendship?
42902How are you, Barker?"
42902How could I come back and say I had been running away with the money, but had thought better of it?
42902How could I tell you that the business was to take my passage for the Continent?
42902How could he know it to his cost, this suburban schoolmaster?
42902How could it be otherwise than true?
42902How could she go out again?
42902How could they be away?
42902How does that happen?
42902How else could Scrafton come in?
42902How long did it take you to write?"
42902How long were you with the planter?"
42902How many have you written, Henry?"
42902How much is it?
42902How old are you now?"
42902How shall ever one like me Win thee back again?
42902How was it he did not?
42902How was it he was afterwards seen in Dieppe?"
42902How would you like that, eh?
42902How would you like that?"
42902Hurt my feelings?
42902I honestly meant to make you Secretary of this Company, but when the chap who helped me to pull it through asked for the billet, what could I do?
42902I suppose no other career has occurred to you as feasible?
42902I suppose you admit it was Scrafton you came to see that morning?"
42902I suppose you know what your father promises me?"
42902I suppose you''ll never let me be your friend any more?"
42902I wonder if I dare tell you?
42902If only she still cared for him-- if only there was nobody else-- what was there to hinder it for another minute?
42902Is he married?"
42902It is, of course, a great pity that you were so ill- advised and improvident; but may I ask in what capacity you were employed, and at what salary?"
42902It used to be nine- twenty?"
42902May I ask where you have been?"
42902May I ask-- as I think I have a right to ask-- where you have spent the afternoon?"
42902May I tell you, mother?"
42902May I trouble you, ladies and gentlemen, to leave your places for one moment?"
42902May I?"
42902My dear Ringrose, I may have my faults, but do you seriously mean to take his word before mine?"
42902My father came upstairs and said a business friend had come unexpectedly, and would I mind not coming down?
42902Never mind who did the trick; who took the money when it was done?"
42902Nor did he feel his companion''s silence; for what was there to be said?
42902Not competent?
42902Not gone to Oxford yet, then?"
42902Not many parsons would care to go into the witness- box and read that out at their own brother''s inquest-- eh, Ringrose?"
42902Nothing matters if they are all right; wo n''t you come in, sir, and tell me all?"
42902Now do you see where your father came in?"
42902Now, as to money matters, your father would doubtless cease sending you remittances once you were earning money for yourself?"
42902Oh, Uncle Spencer, do n''t look like that; it''s not exactly true; but, ca n''t you see, I had no idea what was going to happen here at home?
42902Oh, mother, how are we to go on living after this?
42902Oh, why do you try to wring more from me than I know?
42902Or should he wait until Scrafton was gone, and then confront Lowndes with an uncompromising demand for explanations?
42902Poor men should hang together, should n''t they?
42902Rightly or wrongly, the world had found his father guilty; and was he to insult all and sundry who failed to repudiate the verdict of the world?
42902Ringrose?"
42902Shall I tell you what that means?
42902Should he do nothing, for the present, but return to Teddington, continue in the school, and watch this Scrafton from day to day?
42902Six what?
42902So you still insist on having a proof, eh?
42902So you wo n''t have the least little split?
42902Surely they could fix you up for one night?
42902Then he burst out in an excited whisper: how in the wide world did they know he wrote for the thing?
42902Then how did he know it to his cost, and since when, and what was the subtle connection between Mr. Ringrose and this same Scrafton?
42902Then what had he done with his share-- and what had Scrafton done with his?
42902There''s four more in the van; inspan the lot till we send in for them, will you?
42902They walked on without a word-- they were nearly home now-- and this time Harry thought less of his companion''s silence, for what could she say?
42902Think I did n''t see you watching that house?
42902Thirty or forty pounds, eh?
42902Through a thin wall came a youthful buzz, and Harry distinctly heard,"I wonder if he''s strict?"
42902To keep friendly with him, doubtless; but why?
42902To- night I mean to see your pa.''E''s not come''ome yet,''asn''t''e?
42902Trust myself to the two of you?"
42902Was Lowndes aware of any?
42902Was he sure he could leave his mother?
42902Was it not in black and white in all the papers?
42902Was it the Greek or the mathematics that caused your downfall?"
42902Was it true that he knew that name already"to his cost"?
42902Was there no way of putting it without offence?
42902Was there nothing he could say?
42902We all look at these things differently-- don''t we, Bacchus?
42902We have all paid our money, are we not to see the piece?
42902Well?"
42902Were these men in league with the fugitive?
42902Were you looking for any particular road or house?"
42902What brings_ you_ here?"
42902What could have brought that odd look back to his face?
42902What could the man want with him here and now?
42902What d''ye think of this for him, boys?
42902What did he know about the school?
42902What did he want with the Editor?
42902What do you know to tell?"
42902What do you suppose I stayed here for except to watch you?
42902What do you think of trying next?"
42902What good were they doing?
42902What had Harry''s father been to Scrafton, or Scrafton to Harry''s father?
42902What had there been between Lowndes and Scrafton and his own poor father?
42902What had you to gain?"
42902What had your father and Scrafton to do with my father''s flight?
42902What happened then?"
42902What if Lowndes had swindled wholesale in the ironmaster''s name, and what if Scrafton were one of his victims?
42902What if between them they had murdered the ironmaster for those ten thousand pounds?
42902What if they had driven him out of his mind and clapped him into an asylum, or into some vile den of Scrafton''s?
42902What is it then?
42902What is she doing there?"
42902What makes you think it?
42902What price that for an ace of trumps?
42902What should you say to coming in as comic editor at a four- figure screw?"
42902What should you say to the Civil Service?"
42902What then was the meaning?
42902What was he to do if the man proved what he said?
42902What was sixpence after all?
42902What was the matter?
42902What was the meaning of it?
42902What was the point?"
42902What was there between Scrafton and your father and mine?
42902What was there, then?
42902What would it be his duty to do?
42902What would you have done?"
42902What would you say to three hundred for a start?"
42902What''s his name, by the way?"
42902What''s this?
42902When was the last time you saw my father in this house?"
42902Where''s the school, Ringrose, and who keeps it?"
42902Wherefore hast thou left me now Many a day and night?
42902Who am I that I should go asking favours of any one of them?
42902Who but a guilty man pays another to hold his tongue?"
42902Who is he?"
42902Who told you I wrote?"
42902Who''s here?"
42902Why do you break your promise?"
42902Why do you dislike him, Harry?"
42902Why should I expect so much for so little?
42902Why should Scrafton have lost his colour and his temper at the bare mention of the name of Ringrose?
42902Why should he have gone out of his way to do that?
42902Why the devil do n''t you look me up?"
42902Why wo n''t you pay?"
42902Why?
42902Why?"
42902Will fifteen bob do you?"
42902Will you kindly give it me back this instant?"
42902With ten thousand pounds in his pocket----""You''re sure he had it in his pocket?"
42902Would I go and reassure him of the absolute certainty of doubling his ten thousand?
42902Yet to that one friend he could never go, for was she not also the only child of Gordon Lowndes?
42902You are a stranger to Richmond, I think?"
42902You do n''t deny you led me to think you had never heard of him?"
42902You do n''t think it too?"
42902You do not fancy any of the professions, I suppose?
42902You had a hand in that, had you?"
42902You have heard of the bad times, I imagine, before to- day?"
42902You have looked upon this place as your own, I suppose, from as far back as you can remember down to this morning?"
42902You may remember, however, that you asked me if I knew anything about a person of whose very existence I had just exposed my ignorance?"
42902You may smile in my face-- I deserve it-- but what would you have gained if I had blown the gaff?
42902You raised this money for him?
42902You remember all those clothes I ordered from your trustful tailors, and how I told you never to neglect a good credit?
42902You said she was in Kensington; in lodgings, I suppose?"
42902You saw her, you say, three days ago, and she was all right then?"
42902You say you are ready to do anything; the question is-- what can you do?"
42902You see what I have saved from the wreck?
42902You will go to him, my boy-- to please your mother?"
42902You would n''t have had any scruples, would you?
42902You''re in an exciting place, eh?"
42902cried he,"your father paid for the fellow''s stamps, and he refused to pay for yours?"
42902has he written to you?"
42902my dear Huxtable, how are you?"
42902pray what are_ you_ doing here?"

46417Did they find''em?
46417Did we hear Timmy say that old sedan went over into the lake, or did n''t we?
46417Did you expect me to?
46417Did you notice anythin''just before we come to the creek, Nickie? 46417 Did_ he_ help you guys crash outa reform?"

46417How come?
46417How much?
46417How would they?
46417How would you act if you were riding up with that bunch to start a real sentence, eh? 46417 How you make it out?"

46417I doped out a little about him-- maybe I can dope out the rest, huh?
46417I get dem creeps-- you know? 46417 I guess Devlin makes us feel that way, huh?"
46417I suppose your other disguise today consists of working papers, eh? 46417 I think,"Nicky whispered,"they got a small job for us guys to do-- see?
46417I wonder why, hah?
46417I wonder why, hey?

46417If we ca n''t get out we can give the rats a break anyway, huh? 46417 Is it a lake or somethin''?"
46417It ai n''t true you sent that notebook, is it?
46417It looks like we''re trusted with bars all over the joint an''even on the cellar winders, hah? 46417 It''s all over now, and I guess you''re good and sick of this business, eh?
46417It''s night now an''where are we? 46417 It''s taking a chance to let you out, but I''m counting on you not straying away from in sight of this house--_understand_?"
46417It''s too bad we could n''t''a''knocked off that blamed owl, hah? 46417 Just on one side yet, hah?
46417Kid, I''m a dumb- bell again, ai n''t I? 46417 Kid, since I been here, I do n''t know what''s real an''what ain''t-- see?

46417Looks like they took the junk pile to get the big guy''s closed car, hah?
46417Mm,said Nickie,"sounds like he was buildin''an alibi for hisself, hah?"
46417Nah; what could he say, hey? 46417 No matter what, kid,"he gasped quickly,"you''n me are pals-- see?
46417No? 46417 Oh, yeah?"
46417Oh, you do, eh?
46417On purpose-- how come?
46417Pin''em with what? 46417 S''pose we should n''t get out, kid?"
46417S''pose you''ve been blowing in all your spending money on cheap detective magazines and going to these rotten mystery thrillers, eh?
46417Say, how come you got so much drag with Carlton Conne-- that big dick, hah?
46417Say, lissen, kid,he whispered,"d''you feel funny''bout this Frost an''Baker?"
46417Say, you gone nuts?
46417Say,Nickie whispered inquiringly,"you got somepin''on Barker an''Frost?
46417Say,he whispered,"them footsteps?

46417So Frost told him he might burn?
46417So he kinda switched the deck with you guys for a change, hah?
46417So he reports it an accident?
46417So lemme see him?
46417So that''s how he worked it, huh?
46417So you''re a wise kid, hey?
46417Still we do n''t know what their racket is, hah? 46417 Tell me if you can,"Devlin was saying angrily,"what I''m going to do with those two Greeks, eh?
46417That note what you was gon na slip the first old lady you could-- remember? 46417 That''s Dev-- Barker''s idea-- not mine-- get me?
46417The kid an''me we calls n''calls so after I says to the kid, maybe we only imagined it was Timmy, hah? 46417 The time eet go quick then an''when we got out we go''ome, eh?
46417Then it''s still out there behind the barrel, hah?
46417There''s black wigs a guy can buy, ai n''t there? 46417 They''d do that for us too, eh?"
46417Those Greeks,he asked wearily,"did n''t I hear one of''em just now?"
46417Timmy teep off, yes, but where he tell them deecks to find us, eh? 46417 Us will too, eh?"
46417We ai n''t tippin''off Shorty or Biff, but between you''n me, kid, I think these guys got some job for us what they ca n''t do themselves-- see? 46417 We got ta expect headaches in a hot, dark house like this, huh?
46417We hit somethin''--so it was a ditch, huh? 46417 We looked for a ladder, that''s all, n''it would n''t be where there was a note, would it?"
46417We seen Timmy down in the clearin''--we seen him with our own eyes, didn''we?
46417We swing out along it hand over hand, hah? 46417 We''ll pull a blanket over our heads so''s we can talk-- see?
46417We''ll wait and see this thing go up in smoke, eh? 46417 Well, boys,"he said, genially,"I suppose both of you swim, eh?"
46417Well, it''s come, hah?
46417Well, it''s good there ai n''t no more furniture to catch the dust, hah?
46417Well,he said in his gruff, yet kindly manner,"you''re one of the kids that got in the way of that stolen car, eh?
46417Well?
46417Whadda you s''pose?
46417What for?
46417What have you been whispering about in here, Timmy?

46417What would n''t be wrong, hah?
46417What you gon na do with us, hah? 46417 What you talkin''about, Nickie, huh?"
46417What''d they talk about?
46417What''d you come for, Timmy?
46417What''s going on here?
46417What''s the big idea, eh?
46417What''s the matter with you, Fallon-- can''t you talk any more, eh?
46417What''s the matter-- you ai n''t been dreamin''like Timmy?
46417What''s the matter?
46417What''s the use thinkin''about''if''? 46417 What''s wrong?"
46417What?
46417What?

46417Where is he?
46417Where is it?
46417Where we goin''?
46417Where''s that rope an''that iron handle?
46417Who told you to call me that?
46417Who''s in there?
46417Why did n''t you stay in Pittsburgh?
46417Why?
46417Will you tell me some more about this job?
46417Wonder where Frost is, hah? 46417 Wonder where they''re goin''?"
46417Would I be standin''here in the dark?
46417Yeah, an''if they have, it''s all right, huh?
46417Yeah, an''say, Frost, tell him you chased us down in the woods where the bog gets tough, but that we give you the slip there, hah?
46417Yeah, an''what we gon na do up in the attic, hah, kid?
46417Yeah?
46417Yeah?
46417You beatin''it?
46417You believe in spooks?
46417You boys still have n''t told me what you had the bed up against the door for?
46417You boys there?
46417You ca n''t complain about me as a host,he was saying,"after you deliberately desert my generous hospitality what do I do, eh?
46417You could n''t?
46417You did n''t fall for that about him seein''Timmy off on that train for Montana, hah?
46417You got the heart to eat, hah?
46417You hurt, Timmy?
46417You know him?
46417You know the man in that car?
46417You known''em long, huh Fallon?
46417You made it, huh?
46417You mean he''d get me sprung?
46417You mean we got ta go through with it an''take the chance that he ca n''t kill us''cause we can swim?
46417You mean you talked to Miss Purdy, our reception clerk?
46417You pay me more when it''s sorta extra work, huh?
46417You there, eh? 46417 You think I wanta burn with Devlin when I ai n''t done nothin''yet but help kids for him, hey?
46417You''re not afraid of being thrown out either, are you, Dorcas?
46417You, Fallon?
46417_ Devlin?_Skippy asked breathlessly.
46417_ Timmy''s?_"Say, was it sure enough him?
46417_ Timmy''s?_"Say, was it sure enough him?
46417_ What?_Devlin''s heavy foot pounded on the floor.
46417_ What?_Skippy cried frantically.
46417_ What?_Skippy gulped.
46417_ Whisperin''?_Timmy''s voice trembled ever so little.
46417_ Who-- what''s that?_he whispered hoarsely.
46417After a pause:"You ai n''t got matches, I s''pose?"
46417Ai n''t it a shame, hah?
46417Ai n''t it like he comes back in his dream an''stands under that big tree?
46417Ai n''t it sump''n that we found sump''n?
46417Ai n''t that Fate, hah?
46417Ai n''t we all done a job or two for ourselves, hah?
46417An idea came to Skippy-- why not write a letter and give it to Timmy to mail?
46417An''it''ll be harder doin''the stretch afterward than now-- why didn''I thinka that, hah?"
46417An''lissen, guys, maybe we''ll wanta know how we make out afterwards, hah?
46417An''we see somethin''dark like a guy''s arms reach out from behind that tree, did n''t we?"
46417And I had that pest Timmy on my hands while you....""Did n''t things blow right, Boss?"
46417And could it not be possible that Devlin might change not only his name but his tactics also?
46417And for the hundredth time Nickie said consolingly,"The old lady mighta lost her pocketbook in the river or sump''n, hah?"
46417And in order to divert the conversation from himself, he asked,"Who''s the kid next you an''who''s the one''long- side him?"
46417And yet, he thought, did not the desolate swampland stand out from all other swamplands?
46417And, as if to change the subject, he asked:"D''ye know if them Greek kids are awake?"
46417Anyway, we can deny it, ca n''t we?
46417At least I got some dough outa what_ I_ done-- how about_ you_?"
46417Aw, I thought mebbe we''d got thinkin''the worsta Devlin counta that funeral pan he''s got an''the house an''all-- see?
46417Barker''s boss-- see?
46417Before Skippy could answer, he added,"What put the sling idea into your head?"
46417But ai n''t it funny, kid, how it''s all like it was in that dream he told us about?"
46417But gee whiz, he had n''t no lily- white soul to team up with Devlin, did he?
46417But no-- they act like we was goin''to funeral, yes Neecky?"
46417But s''pose he''s leary bout us wantin''to go up in the attic?"
46417But suppose we get away from here now, eh?
46417But take it from me-- Nickie Fallon''s been your pal from the minute I saw you-- see?
46417But what of tomorrow?
46417But where-- where were they?
46417CHAPTER XX TIMMY?
46417CHAPTER XXI DO DREAMS COME TRUE?
46417CHAPTER XXIII NICKIE REASONS"You deaf?"
46417Ca n''t you pick out nothin''better to dream about?"
46417Cheese, ai n''t it a friend that gets us away so easy as this?
46417Conne?"
46417Could a guy be lyin''an''look like that?"
46417Could anyone be so cruel?
46417Did it mean that they were doomed?
46417Did n''t I have a big enough job on my hands gettin''that note into the old lady''s pocketbook?
46417Did n''t I say it seemed like Fate you''n me took such a shine to each other?
46417Did not this whole unlooked- for episode of Frost and Barker smack too much of Dean Devlin''s tactics?
46417Did someone send you here?"
46417Do we know where we are, eh?"
46417Do we, Nick?"
46417Ees that not what you thought when we come here, yes?"
46417Even if I did-- what about it, hah?
46417Ever notice?"
46417Framed, hah?"
46417Frost said sump''n about how he lost his keys when he was beatin''it with Shorty and Biff-- get me?
46417Frost''s double- crossed Devlin a little, I think, so will Devlin believe all he says again, huh?
46417Frost?"
46417Gee whiz, Nickie, it''s awful, huh?
46417Gee whiz, you want me there to trap him like, huh?"
46417Gimme a whack at it now, hah?"
46417Glad, huh?"
46417Guess we''ll have to be like the birds an''roost in a tree all night, hah?"
46417He always ended by asking himself the question: was Devlin as grim of soul as he was of features?
46417He ca n''t afford to have us not drown when he''s countin''on it, can he?"
46417He ca n''t chase you to Pittsburgh when he''s in jail, can he?"
46417He glared at Fallon and asked,"What d''ye mean, hey?"
46417He said, did n''t he, that the creek an''the bog both wound round that way, huh?
46417He says kids like us''ud run right into the bulls an''that''ud make it bad for them-- see?
46417He shifted the cigar about in his mouth three or four times, then interposed:"So you got in here under false pretenses, eh?"
46417He turned to Nickie,"I think you picked that lock-- what for?"
46417He turned to Skippy suddenly and asked,"Ai n''t that right, kid?"
46417He was smiling... or did they imagine it?
46417He''s dressed in overalls like a mechanic-- see?
46417His regular features slowly froze-- froze into a horrified expression... or were they imagining that too?
46417Holy Smoke, if that do n''t seem like what he''s doin''--the orphan racket, hah?"
46417How about it?"
46417How about you, kid?"
46417How bout their room, hah?
46417How can I pass them off as my sons, eh?"
46417How can he get it when we''re dead?"
46417How come, they been takin''all this trouble for some kids they ai n''t never laid eyes on''fore today, hah?"
46417How could I get that book without Devlin seein''me that night, huh?
46417How do we know he ai n''t kicked off somehow last night an''tonight he comes back from the dead, hah?"
46417How''bout it?"
46417How''s that?"
46417I can have two Greek sons as well as one, ca n''t I?
46417I got hurt then, huh?"
46417I got more feelin''s than Devlin, but I hadda stick and play up-- get me?
46417I grabbed a log an''pushed myself up an''he did n''t see me climb up....""Where''s_ he_?"
46417I guess you ai n''t worried that we got any money or anything like that, hah?"
46417I mean when he stopped an''got out with his flash?"
46417I mean will it be dangerous if I_ did_ tell?
46417I never looked out front-- just now it''s the first....""What''s he talking about?"
46417I wanna help myself too, do n''t I?
46417I was just wonderin''if they''d be the kind of guys what start a fight on the way an''if they did what would I do, huh?"
46417I''ll listen an''if I hear a peep outa him, I''ll cough-- see?"
46417I''m gettin''so''s I feel you''re a reg''lar mascot-- see?
46417I''m scared I''ll lose my nerve-- you know it?"
46417I''m sick, Skip-- say, kid, ai n''t it great the way I just natural like call you Skippy, hah?
46417I''m''fraid to lie down in the mud, ai n''t you, Nickie?"
46417I-- whadda you mean, huh?"
46417If I did n''t ask for a pencil, then he''d know I had one-- get me?
46417If the_ n_ was out an''the_ i_ put before the_ l_ they could call him The Devil of Devil''s Bog, hah?
46417If we ca n''t find a crowbar, maybe we''ll find sump''n else, huh?
46417If you boys wash up the dishes you can have a game of cards before bedtime, eh?"
46417It''ll be hot, but we should worry, hah?"
46417It''s the same driver of the car we come up in-- see?"
46417It''s work but ai n''t it worth it?
46417It''s you-- will you gimme that job you promised me?
46417Jest enough so''s to make it get workin''by the time we hit the bumpy road-- see?"
46417Kid, if we''d only waited a little while longer, hah?
46417Let''s go an''eat, huh?"
46417Lissen, you do n''t think that was really Devlin-- that he could really ki-- kill Timmy?"
46417Looks like I''m yeller, hah?"
46417Maybe they lop off time for us too''cause we come back, eh?"
46417Might not Hallam guess that Devlin was holding him prisoner somewhere in the locality?
46417Name''s Barker, eh?
46417New Jersey?
46417New York State?
46417Now-- you remember all the signals?"
46417Pennsylvania?
46417People get jumpy just talkin''bout ghosts, do n''t they?
46417Say, if they do n''t put us near each other up there, I''ll raise the dust-- see?
46417She extended her hand as if by force of habit and said wearily,"You have a letter to deliver?"
46417Since when did you give me a hand without being told to?"
46417Skippy picked up the paper and read:"I got a great scheme early this morning, boss, so I''m taking the Greeks to Pittsburgh-- get me?
46417So he took''em both, eh?
46417So we can do a job for them if they ast us-- see?"
46417So we got ta be careful, huh?"
46417So we got ta get used to stayin''quiet a little while-- see?"
46417So what could I do when he had told me all that and asked me to come in on it with him?
46417So you know what I think, fellers?"
46417So you''re starting a mushroom place down at Devil''s Bog, eh?"
46417Somebody shouted,"We''ll get in at him the same way the kids came out, hey, Conne-- through the attic?"
46417Suddenly he lowered his voice still more and whispered close to Skippy''s ear,"What''s the idea sayin''we didn''hear nothin''that Timmy said?"
46417Take one-- say, to Pittsburgh, eh?
46417That''s putting a safe distance between, eh?"
46417The lock picked and the room ransacked?"
46417The question uppermost in his mind was-- how long a time would the typist remain out at lunch?
46417Then he asked:"Which one of the Greeks did he take?"
46417Then he gets us for a job an''if anybody''s grabbed it''ll be us''cause the law figures us future criminals anyway-- see?
46417Then, after a pause:"Say, you John Doe, on the level?"
46417Then:"Did you say they''re going to help you?"
46417There was a pause, then:"Do you think he''s wise to anything?
46417There was a pause, then:"Frost... where''s he?"
46417There was n''t no time to argue, was there?"
46417There''s a price an''I wonder what for?
46417There''s no use stumblin''''round in the dark, is there?
46417These blamed things can eat a feller up-- you know it?"
46417They''d be wise that we''d go huntin''sump''n, so what they do n''t want us findin''they lock in their room, hah?
46417Think you could play it without betraying your game by a look or a word?"
46417This guy Barker knows his hide- outs, hah?"
46417Thought you was sick?"
46417Was Frost''s ghost returning in that now?
46417Was Nickie Fallon going to be an unlooked- for factor in this strange play?
46417Was it a dream come true?
46417Was it written that this was to be the last time in his life when he would eat food of any kind?
46417Was that barred also?
46417We should worry when we got friends like them?"
46417We wanted sump''n to do so we thought we''d go up in the attic n''look round''cause it''s fun on a rainy night an''....""Where''s Frost gone?"
46417Well, I heard owls near that house like you did, an''how do you know Devlin did n''t put the bead on one of''em an''make it just like he is?"
46417Well, I''ll show... where''s the note?"
46417Well, we''re on our way, so we should worry, hah?"
46417Were they not almost out of the woods when the trees thinned out like this?
46417Wha''d I do with them matches?"
46417Whadda you s''pose the dicks grabbed me for, hah?
46417What d''ye say we dope out where we''ll write letters to, hah?"
46417What do you want?"
46417What else?
46417What was in there that he was so nosey about, hah?"
46417What we gon na do all day, hah?"
46417What were they to do?
46417What''ll we do, hah?"
46417What''s all these prices for us anyway, huh?
46417What''s the idea of Frost gone?
46417What''s the idea of the bed against the door?
46417What''s the idea, hah-- what''s the idea?
46417What''s the matter, anyways?"
46417What''s wrong with you, Timmy, eh?"
46417When his pudgy body was seated, he leaned over confidentially and said,"Mebbe we better in Delafield, eh Neecky?"
46417Who d''you think tis?"
46417Who''d you think?"
46417Who-- who''s there?"
46417Why did the man, in each case, hire a room and have the boy pose as his son?
46417Why do they all go from$ 500 to$ 3,000--what could it be for?
46417Why had n''t he known the name of the place before?
46417Why not?"
46417Why should we beat it when you''re gon na ship us out west an''everything, huh?"
46417Why was each boy required to go with him to a physician?
46417Why?"
46417Will that do?"
46417XXI DO DREAMS COME TRUE?
46417You all right?"
46417You an''me, we heard it like we hear each other talkin''now, did n''t we?"
46417You are to act as if you did n''t know where you were born or much of anything else-- understand?
46417You boys might be lying there instead of Frost, eh?
46417You can see that we did n''t take anything an''if we had, what could we do with it?
46417You can start back now-- the coupe''s out in the barn, ai n''t it?"
46417You have n''t any idea where Devlin put him?"
46417You talk lak that when mebbe we all see each other again some place out west together, eh?
46417You trying to double cross me?"
46417You''ve got ingenuity-- know what that means, kid?"
46417Your arm''s busted, eh?"
46417_ His job-- to help set the trap!_ What was he to do?
46417_ I''ll think_, eh?"
46417_ Nickie-- Kid?_ Ca n''t you guys hear me?
46417_ Nickie-- Kid?_ Ca n''t you guys hear me?
4745Already you knew of her guilt?
4745And if anything happens while we dine?
4745And it is a good likeness?
4745And since your parents live at Chambery you wished to seize the opportunity of spending a day with them while you were so near?
4745And the wound?
4745And they are very angry?
4745And to the man?
4745And what did she do with the keys?
4745And what do you wish me to do, monsieur?
4745And what else do we know?
4745And when-- when did you first begin to suspect Harry Wethermill?
4745And where is my excellent friend Perrichet?
4745And you knew her young companion?
4745Are there any shoes in the house which fit those marks?
4745Are we all ready? 4745 Are you afraid, Celie?"
4745Are you ready to go, dear?
4745Are you ready? 4745 Are you ready?"
4745Are you sure of that?
4745Besides, what else should I do? 4745 Between eleven and twelve?
4745But I ask myself in sober earnest,''Was there a seance held in the salon last night?'' 4745 But if Helene Vauquier''s story is all untrue?"
4745But is that wise, monsieur?
4745But meanwhile I can go from this villa, monsieur?
4745But since the car is gone,cried Besnard,"how could the chauffeur not look immediately at his tins?"
4745But what else could they do over there in Geneva? 4745 But what should I know?
4745But who are these gentlemen?
4745But why do I make these excuses?
4745But why should you think that I-- I, of all men-- want money?
4745But, my dear friend, why should n''t I?
4745By the way, where is the telegram from Marthe Gobin?
4745Ca n''t you see it? 4745 Ca n''t you see the scene?"
4745Can you stand?
4745Can you tell me, by the amount which has been used, how far that car was driven last night?
4745Can you walk, Celie?
4745Celie, my dear,she said,"your friend, M. Wethermill--''Arry, is it not?
4745Clever?
4745Did Helene Vauquier, then, speak the truth?
4745Did I?
4745Did not you understand that? 4745 Did she go, before the murder, to join a lover?
4745Did she suffer?
4745Did she wear them when she went down the stairs last night?
4745Did you ask particularly that you should have yesterday, the Tuesday?
4745Did you ever go for a voyage on a ship?
4745Did you get down from the seat at all?
4745Did you hear anything?
4745Did you know that?
4745Did you walk straight from here?
4745Do you hear any sound?
4745Do you hear? 4745 Do you remember that loud cry Wethermill gave when we returned to the room and once more I stood before the settee?
4745Do you remember too that I asked him for a road- book?
4745Do you see?
4745Do you?
4745Does it matter, Hanaud?
4745From M. le Commissaire?
4745From the middle or from the end-- what does it matter?
4745Had you seen her before?
4745Has nothing come?
4745Here?
4745How can you be? 4745 How could you know?"
4745How dark?
4745How did you find that out?
4745How do we know it was bought in the last day or so?
4745How do you know?
4745How will that help us? 4745 I did?"
4745I had better send for Wethermill?
4745I may come too?
4745I suppose that Mademoiselle Celie knew of the safe and that the jewels were kept there?
4745I suppose that no one has been allowed to enter the room?
4745I suppose you ARE friends,she said;"else why--?"
4745I warned you fairly, did n''t I?
4745I?
4745If the murderer did not buy it, how did he obtain it?
4745In the rooms, I suppose? 4745 In writing?"
4745Is Mr. Wethermill in?
4745Is it straight?
4745Is it two days?
4745Is madame ready?
4745Is that so?
4745Is that so?
4745Is that so?
4745It is foolish of me, but what would you?
4745It is near here-- the Villa Rose?
4745It was a powerful car?
4745It was here that you saw the light at half- past nine?
4745It was here, then?
4745It was taken lately, here?
4745L''affaire Dreyfus?
4745Like the police?
4745M. Besnard has gone, I suppose?
4745No, I do not think we shall be here, to- morrow, shall we, madame?
4745No? 4745 No?"
4745Now, how are we to begin?
4745Now, what has this room to say to me?
4745Now, where did she keep her jewellery?
4745Now,he asked,"do you still ask me to launch Hanaud upon the case?"
4745Now,he said,"you know how much petrol was taken from the garage?"
4745Oh, did I?
4745Oh, my friend, could he not have stolen it? 4745 Oh, was it so?"
4745One of the instruments? 4745 She is a Jewess, this Celia Harland?"
4745She was prepared with an escape from the difficulty?
4745She was the stout woman with whom your young friend went away?
4745So any one could easily, have found it last night?
4745So that even before Marthe Gobin was killed you were sure that Wethermill was the murderer?
4745Suppose that Celia were one of the victims?
4745Tell me, mademoiselle, what have you had to eat and drink during the last two days?
4745Tell me, what is this?
4745Tell us-- where did you hide them?
4745That was all?
4745The chauffeur?
4745The doors were found unlocked?
4745The young Englishwoman is, I suppose, your friend Miss Celia?
4745Then Adele was the strange woman''s name?
4745Then M. Fleuriot after all might be right?
4745Then it was certainly for her famous collection of jewellery that Madame Dauvray was murdered?
4745Then she was never robbed after all?
4745Then what did he do?
4745Then what did you do?
4745Then why do n''t you--?
4745Then you still cling to Geneva?
4745Then, when I first closed the gate,he cried,"and came into the garden and up to the house they were here-- in that room?
4745There will be danger, then?
4745There, that is better, is it not?
4745This is the Juge d''Instruction?
4745To the women? 4745 Was any one inside the car?"
4745Was any petrol taken?
4745Was she alone in the room?
4745Was that a hand which touched me?
4745Was this the cord with which Helene Vauquier''s hands were tied?
4745We may come with you?
4745Well, what does it matter?
4745Well, what have I done?
4745Well?
4745Were you wise to come here and interfere with Helene Vauquier? 4745 What are you doing?"
4745What can I do for you?
4745What did actually happen in that little pretty room, just twelve hours ago?
4745What did they tell you?
4745What did you do with the key on Tuesday?
4745What do you make of it?
4745What do you think?
4745What do you think?
4745What do you want me to do?
4745What does it matter? 4745 What happened then?"
4745What has happened?
4745What has he to say?
4745What have I to say, monsieur?
4745What have you done?
4745What is it?
4745What is it?
4745What is the matter?
4745What is the matter?
4745What news?
4745What on earth do you mean?
4745What shall I do?
4745What was she like?
4745What were they going to do?
4745What''s the matter?
4745What?
4745When did she suggest it?
4745When did you ask for permission?
4745When did you send the advertisement in, then?
4745When is that paper published?
4745When no sunlight blazed upon the lawn, and all the birds were still, and all the windows shuttered and the world dark, what happened? 4745 When was it delivered to Wethermill?"
4745When was it found?
4745When was this?
4745Where to?
4745Where to?
4745Which is the key of the safe?
4745Which was the last cupboard or drawer that Helene Vauquier touched?
4745Which way do you go?
4745Who could have told?
4745Who will take on the bank for two thousand louis?
4745Why could you not help it?
4745Why have you done it?
4745Why not?
4745Why not?
4745Why should I seek her so often if I did not care?
4745Why should you think that?
4745Why,he asked,"could neither Celia nor madame come to the Villa des Fleurs to- morrow night?
4745Why? 4745 Why?"
4745Why?
4745Will monsieur let me see?
4745Will you explain to me one thing?
4745Will you take your foot back into that car? 4745 Would he have dared?"
4745Would n''t there? 4745 Yes, how did you find it out?"
4745Yes, monsieur?
4745Yes,he exclaimed,"what have you done?"
4745Yes; what was he like?
4745Yes; why?
4745You are sure that the front of the house is guarded?
4745You can tell me about her perhaps?
4745You drove the car on Tuesday morning before you went to Chambery?
4745You have a discreet officer whom you can trust?
4745You have a road map, perhaps?
4745You have done this?
4745You have got them?
4745You have not forgotten what we have planned? 4745 You have not opened them this morning?"
4745You have sent word to the police?
4745You have the number and description, I suppose? 4745 You know her, then?"
4745You know that? 4745 You know where Hanaud is staying?"
4745You met her here?
4745You remember me, then?
4745You saw us together?
4745You understand why I thank you so very much?
4745You will stay here to- night to arrange for their transfer to Aix?
4745You will swear to what you saw in the garden and to the words you heard?
4745You wish me to approach him?
4745''WHAT DID THE TORN- UP SCRAP OF WRITING MEAN?''
4745( c) What actually happened in the salon?
4745( d) Is Helene Vauquier''s story true?
4745( e) What did the torn- up scrap of writing mean?
4745( f) Why has one cushion on the settee a small, fresh, brown stain, which is probably blood?
4745Adele whispered to Vauquier:"Has the girl a lover?"
4745And how have I destroyed it?
4745And in a day or two,"he added gently,"you will perhaps be able to tell us what happened on Tuesday night at the Villa Rose?"
4745And to what mystery would it be a clue if I had n''t destroyed it?
4745And was I not wise?"
4745And what it was that the little salon on the first morning had to tell to you?
4745And what of us-- Adele and me?
4745And what was it in those plans which had brought the sudden gravity and reluctance into Celia''s face?"
4745And when?
4745And why Celia Harland ran from the glass doors across the grass to the motor- car and again from the carriage into the house on the lake?
4745And why did the publication that the jewels had been discovered so alarm you?"
4745Are the smart frocks and the pretty hats and the good dinners worth the price?
4745Are you wise, Wethermill?"
4745As she came out she asked a commissionaire:"How far is it to the Hotel Majestic?"
4745But I have no clue which will enable me to answer the following questions:( a) Who was the man who took part in the crime?
4745But I should, and afterwards-- we should no longer be able to call you''my pretty one,''eh?"
4745But at times perhaps she won at the Villa des Fleurs?"
4745But what do we know of the plan?
4745But what for?"
4745But what happened in the salon?
4745But what kind of a clue?
4745But what will you?"
4745But who would have thought--?"
4745But why raise hopes in that poor man''s breast which an hour or two may dash for ever to the ground?
4745But you will not mention it?
4745But you, M. Ricardo?
4745Celie by telling the world that the police want her?
4745Celie could not answer?"
4745Celie do?
4745Celie dress herself with so much elegance last night?
4745Celie dresses in that way for a seance?"
4745Celie had arranged a seance, and then when the lights were out had admitted the murderer through that convenient glass door?"
4745Celie had been bound upon the sofa, how came she to run with her limbs free from the house?
4745Celie wear them last night?"
4745Celie''s earrings?
4745Celie''s eyes and face when first she saw that sack?
4745Celie''s wardrobe, you found that nothing more had been taken away except the white lace coat?"
4745Celie, and remembers so very well all she wore, why does she hesitate?
4745Celie-- those little footsteps so easily identified-- left for all the world to see and recognise?"
4745Celie; and which, thirdly, she had not had an opportunity to hide before?
4745Celie?"
4745Celie?"
4745Celie?"
4745Celie?"
4745Celie?"
4745Celie?"
4745Celie?"
4745Come, come, what is all this?"
4745Cook who was secured in this way, and then remarkable things, which I could not believe, were supposed to have happened?"
4745Dauvray and Celia Harland?
4745Dauvray and her companion lately?"
4745Dauvray asked:"Is it true, then, what Adele said?"
4745Dauvray dine at that little table last night?"
4745Dauvray is very rich?"
4745Dauvray kept her jewels in this safe, why has every drawer been ransacked, why was the bed moved?
4745Dauvray tell you that you might have Tuesday?"
4745Dauvray''s body lay under the windows at the side?"
4745Dauvray''s jewels were, after all, never stolen?"
4745Dauvray''s left hand, Helene?"
4745Dauvray''s maid?
4745Dauvray, and raising her voice a little, she asked:"Who are you that come to us from the spirit- world?"
4745Dauvray-- eh?
4745Dauvray?
4745Dauvray?"
4745Dauvray?"
4745Dauvray?"
4745Dauvray?"
4745Dauvray?"
4745Dauvray?"
4745Did she expect to join that night a lover-- a man with the brains to devise this crime?
4745Did she keep much money in the house?"
4745Did she run through it quickly, eagerly, noticing nothing amiss?
4745Did the tambourine rattle in the darkness on the wall?"
4745Did they emanate from her?
4745Did you discover anything?"
4745Do you remember that?"
4745Do you tell me that this woman was murdered in your cab and that you knew nothing about it?"
4745Do you understand?"
4745During those seven years how many opportunities has she had of conniving at last night''s crime?
4745Else why should the gate again be open at midnight?"
4745For what reason Wethermill concerned himself in this affair?
4745For what reason does she choose the girl''s room, except that if the thing were discovered that would be the natural place for it?
4745For when she is flung on to the sofa, what will she do?
4745For you love M. Wethermill, do n''t you?
4745From this or from any hotel in Aix?
4745Had he not himself seen the girl in her black velvet dress shut up in a cabinet, and a great lady of the past dimly appear in the darkness?
4745Had n''t you better have stayed and danced in your rags at Montmartre?
4745Have you tried it?
4745He stopped under a street lamp, and said:"Well, what can I do for you?"
4745He walked beside the cab, put his head in at the window, asked,''Have you come in answer to the advertisement?''
4745He was surprised; but it was natural, was n''t it?
4745How can I say?
4745How could I be anything else to you who are so kind to me?"
4745How could I help it?"
4745How could he have the news?"
4745How did he take the theory?
4745How did they begin?"
4745How did you assist?
4745How did you know it?"
4745How does it appear there?
4745How far can we build it up?
4745How in the world could Wethermill know of that clear picture in his mind?
4745How much of Helene Vauquier''s evidence was true and how much false?
4745How shall we find him?"
4745How was the murder committed?
4745How would you like that?"
4745How, indeed, should she know of them at all?
4745I did not mention it before Adele Rossignol; she is so severe in her criticism, is she not?
4745I was asking myself:''Why does a man who owns no motor- car, who hires no motor- car, go out into Aix and buy an automobilist''s road- map?
4745I was right, Celie, was I not?"
4745Is it not, therefore, probable that she usually wore them?
4745Is that so?"
4745Is that sure?"
4745Is that understood?"
4745It is Wethermill''s; there are his initials stamped upon the lining-- see?
4745Le jeu est fait?"
4745M. Harry Wethermill was not the man to go upon a walking tour, eh?
4745Madame has a kind heart''?"
4745Madame has her moods, is it not so?
4745Not at the house of one of your friends?"
4745Now, how were they conducted?
4745Now, why?
4745Oh, how should another woman not know?
4745Only, if he were wrong, how had he come to suspect Harry Wethermill?
4745Or after it?
4745Rap on the tables in the dark and rattle tambourines like that one with the knot of ribbons which hangs upon the wall of the salon?"
4745Ricardo?"
4745Ricardo?"
4745Ricardo?"
4745Rossignol?"
4745She is not in sight yet?
4745She kept her head quite still, and then-- why was he so long?
4745So I asked her--''Was she not wearing them?''
4745Surely it is n''t true?"
4745That is strange, is it not, to hear an elderly servant- woman calling after her mistress,''Adele,''just simple''Adele''?
4745That''s our share, do you see?
4745Then he asked:"And what will happen to the condemned?"
4745They are certain to suspect some one, so why not you, pretty one?"
4745Used, then, by whom?"
4745Was he not assisting the great M. Hanaud from the Surete in Paris?
4745Was he to have the answer now?
4745Was the murder committed during the interval when she was upstairs?
4745Was the salon dark when she came down again?
4745Was there ever a room better tended?
4745Was this room empty, too?
4745Were these two papers written by the same hand?"
4745Were those her words?
4745Wethermill?"
4745What M. Wethermill thinks-- that is clear, is it not?
4745What are the plans they have made?
4745What became of my theory then?
4745What could that girl, he asked himself, have in common with the raddled woman she addressed so respectfully?
4745What did actually happen in the salon?"
4745What does he do?
4745What dreadful things happened?
4745What else is politics?
4745What else should one do under such circumstances, except quarrel with the man one loved?
4745What had first directed his thoughts to that seemingly heart- broken man?
4745What is he to do?
4745What is your opinion?"
4745What makes you sure?"
4745What road is it which comes out at that corner?
4745What was it that those two cushions had to tell you?"
4745What was that something?
4745What was the one chance?
4745What would be their one thought?
4745What would become of her now?
4745What, after all, could he have told them?
4745When did she tell you?"
4745When they came near enough to hear she said in French:"Well, Celie, are you ready to go home?"
4745When?"
4745Where shall we find a new pin more bright?
4745Where was Charles, who should have guarded the door like the custodian of a chapel?
4745Where was his valet?
4745While they were driving home in the motor- car she said apprehensively:"You met a friend then, to- night, madame?"
4745Who knows what thread may lead us to the truth?"
4745Who knows?
4745Who was it, then?"
4745Who was the man who took a part in the crime?
4745Who was the woman?
4745Who will pay my fare, monsieur?"
4745Why could she not hide it last night?
4745Why did she lie, except to make impossible the identification of that strange visitor?
4745Why did she not cry for help then?
4745Why else should he have returned except to put back the car?
4745Why is the other cushion torn?
4745Why she did not cry for help?
4745Why she did not resist yesterday evening?
4745Why should I not care for her?"
4745Why take it away at all-- unless it was taken away as a blind?
4745Why, oh, why was that latticed door opening so noiselessly?
4745Will mademoiselle permit me to remove them?"
4745Will you pick me up in it at three at my hotel?
4745Will you turn it off?"
4745With what object?''
4745Would he have dared?
4745Would the loss of a skewer be noticed, do you think?
4745Yes, we know-- what do we know, monsieur?"
4745Yet again, if she were guilty, how did it happen that she had been so mishandled by her accomplices?
4745You are surprised?
4745You have a motor- car?"
4745You have petrol for a long journey?"
4745You have, perhaps, friends in Aix with whom you could stay?"
4745You will be glad to go, wo n''t you, dearie?
4745You will help me, Helene?"
4745You will not ruin me?"
41525''But why-- why do you wish to see me again?'' 41525 ''Now, mind that you have that money by to- morrow evening, do you hear?
41525''Of course not, and your name is n''t Smith; I know that; but where shall I tell the coachman to drive to?'' 41525 ''Really,''he exclaimed, lifting his eyebrows carelessly;''since when have I ceased to be your husband, I should like to know?''
41525''Well,''I cried,''what is it you want?'' 41525 ''What do you mean?''
41525''What is your price?'' 41525 ''You are surprised that I should want to see my wife again?
41525A very remarkable case, is n''t it?
41525Ah, mais monsieur,she cried,"what vill you?
41525Ah, the cook went out, too?
41525Ana what''e say, Meestair?
41525And Miss Derwent; when did you see her?
41525And did Mrs. Atkins receive him?
41525And did he leave you then?
41525And have they been on amicable terms since then?
41525And if I refuse?
41525And no one has the slightest clue to his identity?
41525And were you sorry to be caught?
41525And when are we going?
41525And when did you return?
41525And when did you return?
41525And when you returned, did you see your mistress?
41525And yesterday, what did she do then?
41525And yet she can not bear him out of her sight, you say?
41525And yet, in the face of all this, you still think of arresting Miss Derwent; of blighting a girl''s life in such a wanton manner?
41525And you are not angry?
41525And you are quite sure that you are not mistaken in your identification?
41525And you are sure he did n''t belong there?
41525And you are sure that she was alone each time you saw her?
41525And you are willing to testify to this effect?
41525And you can not find her?
41525And you have no idea how your husband got hold of his hat?
41525And you have not noticed any strangers hanging around the building during the last few days?
41525And you have not seen him again since then?
41525And you know of no reason for this nervousness other than her experience at the Rosemere?
41525And you saw nobody as you came in?
41525Any answer, sir?
41525Any news of my wife?
41525Are n''t you afraid to stay with your husband? 41525 Are you going for a walk?"
41525Are you sure, Mr. McGorry, that there is no one else in the house?
41525Are you, really?
41525As a doctor, may I urge Mrs. Atkins to go to bed immediately?
41525At what time did the gentleman leave you?
41525At what time did they return?
41525At what time did you go out?
41525At what time did you hear it?
41525At what time did your friend leave you on Tuesday evening?
41525At what time?
41525At what time?
41525Atkins, you are behaving like a child; you must not fall ill now, or what will become of your wife?
41525But Mr. Merritt,I exclaimed,"do you now think Mrs. Atkins guilty?"
41525But did you see her again after that?
41525But how did you know it was the missing hat?
41525But what about that pretty criminal you''ve been talking so much about?
41525But what do_ you_ think? 41525 But what further proof do you need?
41525But what was there to point to her except that a negro boy thought that the dead man resembled Greywood?
41525But what will you do with your guest?
41525But what woman?
41525But what, then, makes you so anxious about her now?
41525But when,--how?
41525But when?--how?
41525But why should Greywood have been killed?
41525But why?
41525But why?
41525But why?
41525But why?
41525But you will go with me, wo n''t you?
41525But, darling, that divorce?
41525But, look here, Mr. Merritt; what more do you want to convince you of the Frenchman''s guilt?
41525By the way,I inquired,"did Mr. Merritt call on you to- day?"
41525Ca n''t you get your daughter to confide in you?
41525Ca n''t you tell me a little more how this man looked?
41525Can I go now?
41525Can you remember who went in or out of the building on Tuesday evening?
41525Certainly not, madame; what can I do for you?
41525Chicago? 41525 Could the corpse have been brought in here any other way than through the front door?"
41525Could you tell whether it was a man or woman who screamed?
41525Dear me, was it as bad as that?
41525Did Miss Derwent bring any luggage?
41525Did any of his actions at the time strike you as suspicious?
41525Did any one call on Miss Derwent yesterday?
41525Did anyone call on your mistress on Tuesday evening?
41525Did anyone wait on the young lady while she was here?
41525Did he close the windows before he left?
41525Did he go upstairs with the young lady?
41525Did n''t a gentleman answering to this description call here at about half- past six and ask for a lady?
41525Did n''t you see her go out again?
41525Did she come alone?
41525Did she say anything?
41525Did she say anything?
41525Did the gentleman return to the Rosemere after dinner?
41525Did the young lady go out during the day?
41525Did the young lady say anything?
41525Did you come in the back way?
41525Did you find the pin itself?
41525Did you happen to notice,she continued,"that clump of bushes near the bend of the road?"
41525Did you know the deceased?
41525Did you know, Larrie, that the man came to the building to see me?
41525Did you let Miss Derwent into her apartment, or did she have the key?
41525Did you notice anything unusual about her?
41525Did you notice anything unusual about her?
41525Did you see Miss Derwent either come in or go out on Tuesday evening?
41525Did you see Miss Derwent on Tuesday?
41525Did you see anyone go out?
41525Did your cousin look much like the corpse?
41525Do Mr. and Mrs. Atkins get along well together?
41525Do n''t you think you had better have him arrested, first, and question him afterwards? 41525 Do they quarrel much?"
41525Do you deny that you received a man on that evening?
41525Do you know that my wife is from Chicago?
41525Do you know the gentleman?
41525Do you know what he was angry about?
41525Do you mean to say that you saw no one resembling the deceased come to this building on Tuesday evening?
41525Do you mind my joining you?
41525Do you remember at what time he left?
41525Do you remember his ever calling on Miss Derwent before?
41525Do you think she murdered the man? 41525 Do you think so?"
41525Do you think you have the right to harrow a delicate girl unnecessarily?
41525Do you usually go out together?
41525Do your butler and his wife get along well together?
41525Doctor, men of your calling are the same as confessors, are they not?
41525Does the corpse at all resemble that gentleman?
41525Does the watchman never leave the front hall except to take people up in the elevator?
41525From the madman, you mean? 41525 Go on,"I begged;"what did you do then?"
41525Has Mrs. Atkins ever allowed you both to go out together before?
41525Has the hat been found?
41525Have any new symptoms developed?
41525Have any of you seen Mr. or Mrs. Atkins, or either of their girls, since you have been working here?
41525Have either of these keys ever been missing?
41525Have the police discovered his name yet?
41525Have these people been here long?
41525Have you a key to her apartment?
41525Have you discovered how he was murdered?
41525Have you discovered yet who the dead man really is?
41525Have you ever seen him before?
41525Have you ever seen this man before?
41525Have you had any breakfast?
41525Have you had anything to eat to- day?
41525Have you no family physician?
41525Have you seen him often?
41525Have you told us all you know of the deceased?
41525He a big policeman, not?
41525He did n''t see your husband, then?
41525How are you so sure of the exact time?
41525How came he here then?
41525How did he show it?
41525How did it happen that you did so on Tuesday?
41525How did she seem when she returned?
41525How did the accident occur?
41525How did this happen?
41525How did you find that out? 41525 How did you get in?"
41525How do you account for the handle being where you found it?
41525How do you do? 41525 How do you know?"
41525How early are you likely to open the kitchen door? 41525 How long have they been married?"
41525How long were you out?
41525How much after-- quarter past, half- past?
41525How often?
41525How strange,she exclaimed;"do you know who committed the crime?"
41525How was that?
41525How?
41525I assure you I am--but here I was interrupted by my host, who called out from the threshold:"Hello, sitting in the dark?
41525I do n''t think it the least necessary,he answered, in great alarm;"what harm can this additional suspicion do Argot?
41525I hope you got some flowers I sent you yesterday?
41525I not know; Argot''e come in von evenin''----"What evening?
41525I say, McGorry, you have seen nothing of a straw hat, have you?
41525I see; but how did your husband happen to get his hat?
41525I suppose the Doctor has told you the latest development of that affair?
41525I suppose there is no doubt that he killed the man?
41525I suppose you already know,she answered, a trifle bitterly,"that I arrived here unexpectedly on Tuesday afternoon?"
41525I suppose you have searched her apartment for a possible clue,--the hat, for instance?
41525In the first place, please tell us how you came to spend two nights in an unoccupied apartment?
41525In the kitchen?
41525In words, yes; but do n''t you think this is one of the cases where actions speak louder than words? 41525 Indeed, I am sorry to hear it; what is the matter with her?"
41525Indeed?
41525Is Mr. Atkins at home?
41525Is Mr. Atkins often away?
41525Is Mrs. Atkins in the habit of answering the door- bell herself?
41525Is it possible to enter this building unperceived?
41525It did not seem to you odd that no hat was found with the body?
41525It''s terribly sad about that poor woman, is n''t it?
41525Look at this corpse, and tell me if you can identify it as that of any one you know, or have ever seen?
41525Lord- a- massy, sah; p''raps I did, p''raps I did; I dunno, he looks some like-- not''zactly----"Do you know his name?
41525May I ask how the news of the butler''s attack on me affected her?
41525Meestair Docteur, I no disturb you?
41525Meestair Docteur,she began as soon as I had settled down to dress her wound,"''usban''''e come''ere zis mornin''?"
41525Miss Derwent?
41525Miss May Derwent, I believe?
41525Mr. Atkins is often away from home, is n''t he?
41525Mr. Coroner, ca n''t the rest of the questions you have to ask Miss Derwent be put to her somewhere else?
41525Mr. Merritt,I inquired,"have you any theory as to the motive of this murder?"
41525Mr. Norman? 41525 Mr. Stuart, I hope you wo n''t think me very impertinent if I ask you whether you have any reason to be dissatisfied with your two servants?"
41525Mrs. Atkins,he repeated, a little louder,"do you recognise the deceased?"
41525Mrs. Atkins-- what did she do on Tuesday?
41525Mrs. Atkins? 41525 My poor darling,"I exclaimed at last,"how did this accident occur?"
41525No; have you?
41525No; why do you ask?
41525No;''e stay looking for Andrè----"How long was it before he came in again?
41525Nobody?
41525Not yet,said the Coroner;"and now, Mrs. Atkins, I ask you again if you are quite sure that you have never seen the deceased before?"
41525Now, Mrs. Atkins,resumed the Coroner,"can you say in what particular Mr. Brown differs from this dead man?"
41525Now, Tony,began the Coroner, solemnly,"look at this man carefully; did you ever see him before?"
41525Now, tell me,continued the Coroner, turning to the foreman,"has the key been missing since you had it?"
41525Now,inquired the Coroner,"what can you tell us about Miss Derwent''s movements during the last two days?"
41525Now,resumed the Coroner,"if you feel well enough, will you kindly answer my last question?"
41525Of that I am heartily glad; but who can the criminal be?
41525Oh, May? 41525 Oh, did you send those also?
41525Oh, indeed,I said;"it was just his sudden appearance which frightened you so much?"
41525Oh, you did see a gentleman? 41525 Really?
41525Really? 41525 Really?
41525Really?
41525Really?
41525Really?
41525Really?
41525Really?
41525Really?
41525Really?
41525She is a verra fine woman, not?
41525She is still very nervous?
41525So it was in Chicago you knew your friend?
41525So it was you who first put the police on the Frenchman''s tracks?
41525So that it is possible that a person might have come to the door, taken the key, and kept it for some hours without your noticing it?
41525So the dead man hailed from Chicago, did he?
41525So you persist in saying that the only stranger you saw enter or leave the building on Tuesday evening, was the deceased?
41525So, Mr. Merritt, you would really arrest a girl on such flimsy evidence, and for a crime you do not believe her to have committed?
41525Stopped, is it?
41525Surely that is an unusual thing for a rich young lady to do?
41525Surely this desire for his society can mean but one thing?
41525Thank you, madam, and what is Mr. Brown''s address in Boston?
41525The back door is not guarded during the day, is it?
41525The quiet of the country does not seem to be doing her much good, does it? 41525 To New York?"
41525Tuesday evening, las''veek--I suppose my face betrayed my excitement, for she stopped and asked, anxiously:"Vat is ze matter?"
41525Vy''e come see my''usban''? 41525 Was Mr. Atkins in the house at the time?"
41525Was he going to put a sleuth on the young man''s tracks?
41525Was he in any business?
41525Was her hand on the door knob?
41525Was she alone?
41525Was that all she said?
41525Was the disagreement so serious as to put an end to your friendship?
41525Well, Charley,he said, when I had finished replacing the bandages,"I do n''t suppose you are very sorry to be in this part of the world, eh?
41525Well, Doc, what is it?
41525Well, Doctor Fortescue,she exclaimed,"what do you think of that?
41525Well, Doctor Storrs, what do you think of the young lady''s case?
41525Well, Jim,said the Coroner,"you may go now; but mind you, do n''t say a word about this business to any one; do you hear?
41525Well, Mr. Merritt,I exclaimed,"what is this fairytale about Greywood?
41525Well, Mr. Merritt,I exclaimed;"glad to see you; what can I do for you?
41525Well, but then why did you write that you wished to consult me about her?
41525Well, do you think that Argot would be a likely person?
41525Well, granted that I was on the roof during a part of Wednesday night, what of it? 41525 Well, how do you account for that?"
41525Well, how goes it?
41525Well, if you ca n''t come to- night, wo n''t you come to- morrow?
41525Well, really, of all mysterious, incomprehensible----"Exactly,he interrupted, impatiently,"but what am I to do now?
41525Well, what about the back door?
41525Well, what do you think of this latest development?
41525Well, what is this missing link?
41525Well,I began slowly, for I meant to enjoy my small triumph to the full,"I only wanted to ask you if you have yet found the missing hat?"
41525Well,I exclaimed,"the Rosemere mystery does n''t seem any nearer to being solved, does it?"
41525Well,he continued, still looking at me severely,"can you tell us what the man died of?"
41525What are they?
41525What are you telling me all this for? 41525 What became of the tramp?"
41525What can have happened to her? 41525 What did Mrs. Atkins do yesterday?"
41525What did Mrs. Atkins say to you?
41525What did you do when you heard it?
41525What do you mean by that?
41525What do you mean by''flat''?
41525What do you mean?
41525What do you think of it?
41525What do you think of that?
41525What do you think ought to be done for her?
41525What families have you at present in the building?
41525What had you been doing during the evening?
41525What happened then?
41525What has happened, May? 41525 What has happened?"
41525What is it that he does n''t want me to see?
41525What is it?
41525What is the matter?
41525What is your name?
41525What is your name?
41525What kind of a peculiarity do you mean?
41525What made her think she was suspected?
41525What made you notice him particularly?
41525What possible good could it do to remind Miss Derwent of an incident which all her friends are most anxious to have her forget?
41525What possible motive could there have been?
41525What shall I do?
41525What time did you go to bed on Tuesday?
41525What time do you go to bed?
41525What was I to do? 41525 What was his address in New York?"
41525What were you doing during all that time?
41525What''s the matter?
41525What''s up?
41525What, the man who was mixed up in the murder? 41525 What?"
41525When did he leave the city?
41525When did he leave?
41525When did he return?
41525When did he return?
41525When did the Frenchman come up here?
41525When did you first become convinced that that hat had belonged to the murdered man?
41525When did you see him last?
41525When was that?
41525When will that be?
41525When you saw Miss Derwent,said the Coroner, addressing the man whom the foreman had pointed out,"what was she doing?"
41525When you say that she is violent and impossible, what do you mean, exactly?
41525Where could he have come from? 41525 Where did he come from?"
41525Where did you go to?
41525Where does your sister live, and what is her name?
41525Where is his home?
41525Where was your mistress when you saw her?
41525Where were you on that evening? 41525 While Joe was upstairs what did you do?"
41525Who brought it here?
41525Who do you mean by''we''?
41525Who have you seen?
41525Who is he?
41525Why did you not carry out your first intention of leaving the city on the following morning?
41525Why do you use the past tense?
41525Why do you want to know?
41525Why need you know his name?
41525Why not?
41525Why should he be angry?
41525Why should he make a scene about it?
41525Why should she object to see you?
41525Why, did anyone go into her place to get her meals and tidy up, etc?
41525Will you kindly tell us his name?
41525Without even a maid?
41525Wo n''t you come now and lunch with us?
41525Wo n''t you undertake the case?
41525Would you know the fellow, if you saw him again?
41525Yes, I grant you that, but what of it? 41525 Yes, and who are they?"
41525Yes, why not? 41525 Yes, yes, and what was that?"
41525Yes; but look here: why are you asking such a lot of questions about him? 41525 Yes; did n''t you notice that his clothes, although evidently expensive, were all decidedly shabby?
41525Yes?
41525Yes?
41525You are a doctor?
41525You are aware that the elevator boy has positively identified the body as that of your visitor?
41525You are not frightened, now?
41525You are really not at all sure that the white face belonged to Argot, are you?
41525You are sure that you saw no one in the apartment resembling Miss Derwent?
41525You are sure this indifference is real and not assumed?
41525You deny that he called on you on Tuesday evening?
41525You do n''t know?
41525You do n''t say so? 41525 You do?"
41525You forgive me?
41525You have been told of my daughter''s condition?
41525You probably know that the identity of the dead man has never been established?
41525You remember that I told the Coroner about a certain gentleman who called on me on that fatal Tuesday evening?
41525You said just now that Mrs. Atkins has something the matter with her heart?
41525You went out again very soon after your arrival, did you not?
41525You will try and persuade Mamma and Fred to allow me to go to New York, wo n''t you? 41525 You''ave seen my vife?"
41525Your husband did not come back, you say?
41525Your husband has been out of town, I hear?
41525Your husband has found such a hat?
41525Your name is Joe Burr, I believe,began the Coroner, consulting a small paper he held in his hand,"and you run the elevator here?"
41525''Ah, I see that is what you have done-- and who is my unlucky successor, if I may ask?''
41525''But why this hurry?''
41525''My darling,''I begged her,''tell me the meaning of all this?''
41525''Telegraph to his town address, anyhow, and if he is n''t there it does n''t matter,''she urged.--''But, May, what is the meaning of this change?
41525''What do you want?
41525''What should I do with it?
41525''Where is the head of this pin?''
41525194"pour"changed to"pore"( all the papers and pore over them) 204''removed("But why?")
41525A burglar, tempted by my open window?
41525A fire?
41525A sudden illness?
41525Above all, why does he consider it natural that she should have done so?
41525After looking at the corpse for some moments, the Coroner turned to us and demanded:"Who is this man?"
41525After tossing down my second bracer, I said:"Well, Mr. Merritt, how do you feel about your bet now?"
41525Again my curiosity got the better of my discretion, and I asked:"Did you hear any strange noises during the night?"
41525An''Argot''e say nossing about it till vone day----""What day?"
41525And even if you did, what would it prove?
41525And if I did hear or see anything suspicious, how can you prove it, and above all, how can you make me tell you of it?"
41525And if that is the case, what rôle does Norman play in this tragedy, and why did she insist on his being sent for?
41525And was there anything peculiar about it?"
41525And what could have happened?
41525And what did he mean by talking about the Atkins''s affairs in this way?
41525And what does Mrs. Atkins do?
41525And what was it?"
41525And where do you come from?"
41525And who else was there to suspect?
41525And why that gleam of hatred in her husband''s eye?
41525And yet what are the facts that confront us?
41525And you will remain to comfort her when I am gone, wo n''t you?"
41525And your address?''
41525Anything wrong with your heart, or your liver, or your nerves, eh?"
41525Are you very sure the hatchet is buried?"
41525As she turned to follow the detective she asked, in a low but distinct voice:"How did this accident occur?"
41525At last, I said to myself: Why need Larrie ever know?
41525Atkins?"
41525Atkins?"
41525Atkins?''
41525Besides, if Mrs. Atkins is guilty, we must believe her husband to be her accomplice, for who else could have helped her hide her victim?
41525But how shall I go about it?
41525But if the corpse was indeed that of her brother, why had May not recognised it?
41525But if the dead man was really a stranger to her, as she asserts, why then does every mention of the murder cause her to become so excited?
41525But if this place was locked up last night, how came the body here this morning?
41525But is it not foolhardy to do so when there is no call for it?--when your inexperience renders you much more likely to commit some fatal error?
41525But tell me vy Andrè''e send ze police for''is''at?"
41525But tell me, first, how you found out about Miss Derwent''s brother?"
41525But what cared I what_ he_ had done?
41525But what could she have wished to say to me?
41525But what do you think of this for a guess?
41525But what were her reasons for never asking for the meaning of my conduct?
41525But what?
41525But where was that?
41525But whose were they, then?
41525But why make a secret of it?
41525But why was the fellow not locked up long before this?"
41525But, may I ask, who told you that I had neglected to make inquiries about the lady?"
41525But, sooner or later, the truth will become known, and then--?
41525But,"he inquired, with renewed suspicion,"why has she run away?"
41525By the way, I gather from your still being willing to discuss the corpse''s identity that you have not been able to trace this mysterious Brown?"
41525By the way, did anything else strike you as peculiar about the corpse?"
41525By the way, why do n''t you come down and spend next Sunday with us?
41525CHAPTER V MRS. ATKINS HOLDS SOMETHING BACK"Is Mrs. Atkins ready?"
41525Ca n''t you wait a day or two?"
41525Can I do anything?"
41525Can you tell us what became of him?"
41525Could any one have been more awkward, more tactless, more indiscreet, than he had been during his conversation with Miss Derwent?
41525Could it be my hat- pin?
41525Could that be Atkins''s voice which we heard?
41525Could this be the missing hat?
41525Could this reserved and highly respectable person be my visitor of the night before?
41525Could what he said be true?
41525DEAR FRED: You know me pretty well and know therefore that I''m not a prying sort of fellow-- don''t you?
41525Did n''t you receive my note thanking you for them?
41525Did not the doctor find traces of alcohol or a drug?"
41525Did she fear what questions I might ask?
41525Did she suspect the cause of my anger?
41525Do n''t you know that her husband especially wishes to keep her flight secret?"
41525Do n''t you think so?"
41525Do you know any reason for her staying here so long?"
41525Do you know of any friend in the city she would be likely to appeal to in such an emergency?"
41525Do you know of any reason for her ill health?"
41525Do you know what brought this one on?"
41525Do you know?
41525Do you now mean to encourage him?''
41525Do you think that right?"
41525Do you think the man you are now living with would enjoy your acquiring notoriety in such a way?
41525Does that look like guilt?
41525Eh?''
41525Especially about his means?"
41525Father had said it was all right, but he might be mistaken, and, in that case, what should I do?
41525For instance, what was the cause of Mrs. Atkins''s scream?
41525For who could suspect a man like Mr. Norman of masquerading as a tradesman?
41525Fourthly, What lady does she know intimately who has very dark hair, and is also slight and tall?
41525Fred, tell me, do you think the child is going insane?"
41525Greywood?"
41525Had I dreamed them?
41525Had I enough self- control to risk raising my veil when I entered the room where the dead man lay?
41525Had he a motive for this, I wondered, or had he simply succumbed to her fascination, like the rest of us?
41525Had he any hair on his face?"
41525Had he not already told me that Greywood was supposed to have been the favoured suitor?
41525Has n''t Mr. Merritt been bothering me to death about that hat?
41525Have you a lover whose initials are A.   B.?"
41525Have you seen any suspicious persons about the building during the last few days?"
41525He does not find it----""How do you know he did n''t find it?"
41525He heaved a sigh of resignation as he inquired:"Can you remember how he was dressed?"
41525He''ll wait, you know; I do n''t believe he will be in any hurry to leave, do you?"
41525How could I do this?
41525How long is it since you left there?"
41525I cursed myself for my loquacity, but what could I have done?
41525I exclaimed;"what do you mean?"
41525I exclaimed;"you found it?
41525I felt a terrible pang of jealousy, but managed to ask:"What did his servants think at seeing their master go out in such costume?"
41525I have just been talking to Mr. Merritt about it----""Merritt, the detective, you mean?"
41525I hope she is well, and has not suffered too much from this prolonged heat?"
41525I inquired;"did you suspect her?"
41525I no understand; I say, Vat you got?
41525I remember hearing that she is an only child, but has she no cousin with whom she is on terms of brotherly intimacy?
41525I say, Argot, you crazy; vere you get zat''at?
41525I should like to hear some more of this affair, but I suppose if you do discover anything you will keep it pretty close?"
41525I stared at him in surprise; what was the matter with the man?
41525I''ave been with Mr. Stuah, six a years, and he tell you----""Please look at the deceased, and tell me if you have ever seen him before?"
41525If it is he-- who killed him and why?
41525If you really believe Miss Derwent and Mrs. Atkins both innocent, who do you think killed the man?"
41525In the first place I want to know whether she has any young male relative who is tall, with good figure?
41525In the first place, will you tell me why, if you were not expecting another victim, you showed such surprise at the sight of the corpse?
41525In the latter case, do you not think a lady''s hat- pin rather a feeble weapon for a young desperado to select?
41525Is she the woman whose name you promised to reveal next Tuesday?"
41525Is the body Maurice Greywood''s, or is it not?
41525Just inform them that there has been an accident, do you hear?"
41525McGorry?"
41525Merritt?"
41525Miss Derwent, the French butler-- well, why not the French butler?
41525Must I really do so?"
41525My leg did you a good turn, did n''t it?"
41525My mother?
41525Naturally, I am not anxious to have her marry, at least not yet; for when my child leaves me, what is there left for me in life?
41525Not much of an improvement on Brown, eh?
41525Not of the crime, I felt sure of that, but of_ what_, then?
41525Now tell me-- what do you think is the meaning of all this?
41525Now, do n''t you think it quite possible that he may have returned and been bothering his sister in some way?
41525Now, do you see any resemblance between the two?"
41525Now, do you wish to be seriously ill, or do you not?"
41525Now, knowing all this, can you advise me as to what I ought to do to help the poor girl?
41525Now, please explain how this body got here?"
41525Now, that does n''t look like the behaviour of a happy lover, does it?
41525Now, that theory hangs together pretty well, do n''t it?"
41525On his return, the Coroner resumed:"Who is Miss Derwent?"
41525Or Argot, perhaps?
41525Say, how did you manage to hit on him?
41525Secondly, Is she engaged, or reported to be engaged, and if so, to whom?
41525She has always made a great fuss whenever I have offended her before; why did she pass over this outrage in silence?
41525Smith-- not an unusual name, is it?
41525Stuart?"
41525Stuart?"
41525Stuart?)
41525Surely suspicion points quite as strongly to her as to the young lady?"
41525Surely, you do not believe the murdered man to be Greywood?"
41525That his silk socks were almost worn out; that his pumps were down at the heel?"
41525The Coroner paused to scribble down the address, then resumed:"At what time did you get back from the party?"
41525The difficulty is, how can you get to us with your poor leg?"
41525The young man started back in horror.--"Murdered, and in this house-- How, when?"
41525Then, looking at the corpse more closely he exclaimed:"Why, he is a gentleman; ca n''t you find out who he is?"
41525Then, turning to the little red- headed manager, he asked:"Now, Mr. McGorry, how is it possible for this corpse to have been brought here?
41525Thirdly, What are the names of her most favored suitors?
41525This beautiful, queenlike creature seemed incapable of deceit, and yet-- who were the two people I had so lately seen in her apartment?
41525This emboldened me to ask:"Were these roses as good as the first lot?
41525To be able to feel so keenly for a stranger shows an extraordinary sensibility, does it not?"
41525To leave it open, I mean?"
41525To whom then did the hat belong?
41525Vy do n''t you sit down, an''take off your at?
41525Was McGorry holding something back, or was he really ignorant of their presence in the building?
41525Was he nearer than he should have been?
41525Was it my imagination, or did Mr. Atkins turn slightly pale?
41525Was it possible that my divorce was not legal?
41525Was it possible that the victim''s real name was Derwent?
41525Was my imagination playing me a trick, or was the young fellow really troubled by this information?
41525Was the man drunk?
41525Was there a duplicate key?"
41525Was this a hint that I should have invited him also?
41525We have been happy, have n''t we?
41525We immediately-- but why linger over the gruesome details of what occurred during the next fifteen minutes?
41525Well anyhow he got me----""But why did you want to get in?"
41525Well, are you going to tell me what you now call yourself, or are we going to continue walking about together all day?''
41525Well, what happened on Tuesday?"
41525Were my looks tell- tale, I wondered, and could he see that I had discovered his secret?
41525What could I answer?
41525What could I do?
41525What could be the matter, I wondered, and what was that sticking out of his shirt, right over his heart?
41525What could have become of it?"
41525What could he be leading up to, I wondered?
41525What did this similarity mean?
41525What did you expect?
41525What do we find?
41525What do you say to this day week?
41525What do you want me to do about it?"
41525What do you want to know?"
41525What girl could be placed in a more terrible position?
41525What had the detective said?
41525What has frightened you?"
41525What if he had seen his wife come out of my office?
41525What is her name, did you say?"
41525What is the name of the unhappy man?
41525What made you do so?"
41525What man had left in such hurry or agitation as to forget so essential a thing?
41525What reason have you for believing this, except that it fits in very prettily with your theory of the crime?
41525What should I do?
41525What was I to believe?
41525What was this missing thing?"
41525What was to be done with her?
41525What would you say if I tried to perform an operation, for instance?"
41525When did he leave?"
41525When you saw him in the street, he had on a hat similar to the one we are looking for, did n''t he?"
41525Where could it have been more easily secreted than in the Derwents''apartment, into which no outsider or servant entered?
41525Where could she have secreted him during the twenty- four hours that must have elapsed before the body was finally disposed of?
41525Where had I seen those flashing black eyes before?
41525Where is it?"
41525Where were the raven locks I had seen only a few hours before?
41525Where?"
41525Who could it have been?
41525Who could the couple be?
41525Who helped her, I wondered?
41525Who was he calling on, if not on her?
41525Who was he?"
41525Whom could I appeal to?
41525Why did she appear so relieved when she heard that the murder occurred on Tuesday?
41525Why did she cry out in her sleep:"Oh, he''s dead, he''s dead!"?
41525Why did she not make me sue on my knees for pardon?
41525Why did she show such emotion at the sight of the corpse?
41525Why did you do so, except that you had previously seen a very different looking person in her apartment?
41525Why does she appear to be for ever watching for somebody?
41525Why had no mention been made of them?
41525Why should I tell you the name of my visitor?
41525Why should he not be guilty of the other crime?
41525Why were you so sure that the Derwent''s flat was occupied, if you had not seen some person or persons there?
41525Will you and Mrs. Atkins and your two servants, therefore, kindly step down- stairs?
41525Will you let your old playfellow doctor you a little?
41525Will you promise to take some medicine I am going to send you?
41525Without answering him, I inquired:"And what do you mean to do now?"
41525Wo n''t you run down here and have a look at it?
41525Wo n''t you sit down?"
41525Would n''t it be advisable to take her away from here for a short time?"
41525Yes, McGorry, who watches over that?"
41525Yon would n''t like me to repeat to him all that you say to me, would you?"
41525You acknowledge that yourself?"
41525You can not trace the possession of such an ornament to Miss Derwent, can you?"
41525You might see the lovely May again,--who knows?
41525You see, I had already discovered that a man had spent many hours in her apartment----""How did you find that out?"
41525You were present when she was made to give an account of herself to the coroner, were you not?"
41525he called out;"is it all over?"
41525he exclaimed, in the most natural manner;"what has happened?
41525how did it happen?"
41525vat zat matter?
41525you means ze gentleman vat I see, ven I go ze dead man''s?"
45636A Chinaman?
45636A motor accident, was n''t it?... 45636 A tiring day, Uncle?"
45636Although Wu Ling actually won back the statue Gregory took home with him?
45636An invalid, eh?
45636An old family?
45636And Sir James,he enquired;"has he been down this week?"
45636And here?
45636And if the jewels should be discovered?
45636And now please tell, where Images?
45636And of my suspicions?
45636And risk getting blown to pieces?
45636And the Images?
45636And the Images?
45636And the ship sails?
45636And the young lady-- his niece?
45636And what about the son?
45636And what happened?
45636And who are you?
45636And who might he be?
45636And why not indeed?
45636And you miss nothing of value in any other part of the house, sir?
45636And you say that that Image is now at Ballaston Hall?
45636And you yourself have never been in this room? 45636 And you?
45636Any family?
45636Anything else?
45636Anything of value gone?
45636Are n''t you just a little inclined to be cynical to- night?
45636Are they in any particular danger?
45636Are you Wu Abst, the river pirate?
45636Are you a native of these parts?
45636Are you coming down or going up or rooted?
45636Are you in earnest?
45636Body or Soul?
45636Both?
45636But do n''t you want them?
45636But how the devil do you know?
45636But is this Image really of great value?
45636But the Image?
45636But what have they done?
45636But when?
45636But why do you need money? 45636 But why not?"
45636But, my dear sir,he pointed out,"what possible place of concealment could there be in, say, this particular Image?
45636Condition?
45636Dad, was that a dream?
45636Did it do her no good at all?
45636Did kindness,he asked bluntly,"prompt him to take you away from your husband?"
45636Did you bring home any treasures from China, Gregory?
45636Did you recognise the man?
45636Did you say Endacott?
45636Did you see him?
45636Did you see me?
45636Did your informant specify the door which was made use of?
45636Disturbed at all during the night, Morton?
45636Do n''t you think it would be a good idea?
45636Do n''t you think it would be a sin to have it all broken up?
45636Do n''t you understand? 45636 Do you believe in them?"
45636Do you know Sir Bertram''s son, Gregory?
45636Do you know them?
45636Do you mean to say that you did n''t do it, Greg?
45636Do you mean to tell me that you did n''t know about it?
45636Does it matter?
45636Does she live quite alone?
45636Doubts? 45636 Everything all right again?"
45636Fond of games?
45636For what purpose?
45636From a poacher?
45636From what part of the world, might I ask, Mr. Johnson, do you come?
45636Gone to London, has he?
45636Has Mr. Kershaw examined the position so far as regards the Romneys and the three Gainsboroughs?
45636Has any one been talking to you?
45636Has he been caught? 45636 Has the old gentleman been exercising his malevolent influence upon you?"
45636Have one?
45636Have the family a town house?
45636Have you any shopping to do, beyond your visit to the hairdresser?
45636Have you been with Aunt Angèle all this time?
45636Have you brought me any information?
45636Have you ever dined more strangely?
45636Have you taken a fancy to my companion?
45636He got away then?
45636He knew to whom the property belonged before he took the house, I suppose?
45636He really means to come then?
45636How are they getting at you?
45636How can I trade?
45636How could I?
45636How did he seem?
45636How do you know that?
45636How many servants are there sleeping in the house?
45636How old are you, Claire?
45636How the mischief did this Mr. Johnson get hold of a private detective at a moment''s notice?
45636How''s that?
45636How, useless?
45636How?
45636I do n''t look like a superstitious man, do I, Miss Besant?
45636I gather that no clue or motive of any sort has been discovered?
45636I hope that you are still content with the neighbourhood, Miss Besant?
45636I wonder if he knows anything about your new possession, Gregory?
45636I wonder when he''ll be back?
45636I wonder whether there is anything in the world,he murmured,"which would ever induce Henry to diverge from a habit?"
45636I wonder whether you would care to come? 45636 I wonder who the devil it can be at this time of the night?"
45636If he were one of these paid spies,Mr. Craske enquired,"who were paying him?"
45636If it is not an impertinent question, sir,he proceeded,"is it true that Johnson and Company are relinquishing the business?"
45636If there is any truth in the story,Major Holmes suggested,"why do n''t you break them up?"
45636If this is true,Gregory asked bluntly,"what is the use of my taking one to England and leaving the other here in this warehouse?"
45636If you were told that some one had left this house at about three o''clock and gone down to the Great House, what should you have to say about it?
45636In a way,he ventured,"the Image which you have locked up there, the Image which you call the Soul, rather belongs to me, do n''t you think?
45636In any case, if you were only out of the room for a few minutes, who could have entered without your seeing them?
45636In here?
45636In what way?
45636In which Image?
45636Is Miss Endacott expected here?
45636Is Miss Endacott in a similar predicament?
45636Is he altogether Chinese?
45636Is he too a recluse or an invalid?
45636Is it Uncle?
45636Is it my fancy,she asked,"or are you rather a strange person?"
45636Is it really as bad as that?
45636Is my bath ready?
45636Is n''t it wonderful?
45636Is she-- er-- inclined to be sociable?
45636Is that a fact?
45636Is that so?
45636Is that why you sent it me home in such a hurry?
45636Is there any other way out at all?
45636Is there anything I can do for you before I go?
45636Is there no other thing but money to be desired amongst you of the West,Wu Ling asked,"that even in youth you risk so much?"
45636It makes the world seem a small place, does n''t it?
45636It means breaking the entail, I suppose?
45636It''s true then, what they are saying?
45636Just why, at the present moment?
45636Last night? 45636 Leaving out the other improbabilities, could its possession be considered as a possible incentive for the perpetration of such an atrocious crime?"
45636Let''s sell it then?
45636Lord love us, you do n''t suppose I want to stand in the way of your duty, Holmes?
45636Madame?
45636Major Holmes is examining the servants?
45636May I ask your name, sir?
45636May I be privileged,he asked,"to smoke one more of your excellent cigarettes?
45636May I? 45636 Might one enquire then, whilst congratulating ourselves upon your choice, what made you select this particular part of the world for your abode?"
45636Miss Besant still going on all right?
45636More trouble?
45636My dear fellow,he expostulated,"how the deuce can any of us help you?
45636Nothing could make my reputation in the County worse than it is, could it, Borroughes?
45636Nothing was taken from the room then, I suppose?
45636Now what the devil is it this time, Holmes?
45636Now, look here, young fellow,he went on, putting his hand on Gregory''s shoulder,"how old are you?"
45636Of cheerful disposition?
45636Perhaps you care buy some curios?
45636Puncture?
45636Ralph?
45636Rawson,he asked,"do you know any one-- any man-- who could have left this house between midnight and three or say four o''clock this morning?"
45636Seems queer, does n''t it, if that was all, that there should be bars on the windows and a double lock on the door?
45636Shall I come with you?
45636Ship not gone?
45636Sir Bertram, I suppose, has been extravagant?
45636Surely that''s a very unusual thing in this country?
45636Surely,he ventured at last,"we have met before?"
45636Tell me then-- there is n''t really any fear that all this may have to go?
45636Tell me what has happened?
45636Tell me what it is?
45636Tell me your aunt''s name?
45636Tell me, Mr. Ballaston,the girl asked,"have you looked at your Image yet, the one you have on the ship?"
45636Tell me, tell me what it is?
45636That''s what you like; to see me drink, is n''t it?
45636The Squire?
45636The story?
45636Then the other Image----?
45636Then why on earth did you come to Market Ballaston?
45636Then why,he asked,"do you feel so strongly upon the matter?
45636Then you do n''t believe in your own allegory?
45636Then you really do n''t know what has been taken?
45636There is nothing I can do for you?
45636They have not returned, our porters?
45636They spend most of their time down here then, I suppose?
45636Things here are pretty bad?
45636Through Mr. Endacott, I think you said?
45636Was Sir Bertram very much in love with her?
45636Was anything missing? 45636 Was he very depressed?"
45636We ca n''t go on much longer without money, can we, Borroughes?
45636We understand one another?
45636Well, Doctor?
45636Well, Gregory, old man, you could n''t quite bring it off then?
45636Well, I''ve told you, have n''t I, the story of my rescue on the river by Wu Ling?
45636Well, Major?
45636Well, if you have made up your mind to go,Sir Bertram said,"why not?
45636Well, my dutiful brother?
45636Well,he enquired,"have you found the fortune yet?"
45636Well,he said,"I''m a pretty obvious sort of person, are n''t I?"
45636Well?
45636Well?
45636What about all the treasures of Peru and Mexico, brought into the old world? 45636 What about it?"
45636What about my life?
45636What about that last manuscript?
45636What about the Image, which is at present in our possession? 45636 What are you going to do with it?"
45636What are you going to do with that?
45636What can I do about it?
45636What could I do?
45636What counts money?
45636What do I know?
45636What do the police say about it?
45636What do you ask?
45636What do you mean by that?
45636What do you mean, too late?
45636What do you suppose brought me out here on an enterprise like this? 45636 What do you suppose this Mr. Johnson has got to do with it all, Mr. Rawson, that he''s putting his oar in?"
45636What do you think about it?
45636What do you think of it yourself?
45636What do you think of this, Cloutson?
45636What does it matter? 45636 What else can it be?"
45636What have you been doing all day then?
45636What have you done? 45636 What is it, Nunks dear?"
45636What is that horrible- looking wooden Image in Uncle Henry''s room?
45636What is the charge?
45636What is there to think?
45636What is your business with me?
45636What key is that?
45636What new thunderbolt are you going to launch?
45636What of this prisoner of yours?
45636What should I think of him?
45636What sort of a fellow is this new tenant of ours?
45636What sort of a man was this predecessor of mine?
45636What the mischief can it matter to you?
45636What time did you tell Holmes you would leave?
45636What was it?
45636What words other than hard can be spoken of such?
45636What''s wrong with you, young fellow?
45636What''s your name?
45636When does he go abroad?
45636When one gets over the spell of this lotuslike existence,she asked him,"what is there to do here-- in the way of exercise, I mean?"
45636When shall I be able to finish your packing, sir?
45636Where are these infernal Images?
45636Where did you get hold of this cock- and- bull story, Holmes?
45636Where did you get it?
45636Where did you get it?
45636Where does one buy horses?
45636Where have you been all day, child?
45636Where have you been then?
45636Where on earth did the police get hold of their information?
45636Where the hell did that come from?
45636Where was the key last night? 45636 Where?"
45636Which Image you have?
45636Who are they?
45636Who can tell?
45636Who has it?
45636Who was there?
45636Whom did you get to read them?
45636Whom else?
45636Why did n''t you tell me?
45636Why do you call it that?
45636Why do you look at me as though you had never seen me before?
45636Why do you want to come and live in a house in an out- of- the- way village like this-- a house, too, in which another man was murdered? 45636 Why for?"
45636Why go into the history of the treasure?
45636Why have you come here?
45636Why not have this one broken up?
45636Why not?
45636Why not?
45636Why not?
45636Why not?
45636Why on earth should I? 45636 Why selfish?"
45636Why should I do that?
45636Why should I have any? 45636 Why, indeed?"
45636Why, what difference could that make?
45636Why?
45636Why?
45636Will he wait until Gregory returns?
45636Will you gentlemen follow me?
45636Will you lend me the key, Wu Ling, or will you take us back yourself?
45636Will you write down the address of your bankers,he invited,"to whom I may refer?
45636Without money how buy?
45636Would it be as well to wait for a moment?
45636Would n''t that be very wonderful?
45636Would the world be any the worse?
45636Wu Ling?
45636You are coming to England?
45636You are not fool enough to be in love with him?
45636You could n''t be a little more explicit?
45636You did n''t hear any unusual sound in the night like a door opening or anything of that sort?
45636You did n''t lend it to any one?
45636You did n''t use it yourself?
45636You did not mind coming, Ralph?
45636You do n''t mean to tell me that you were mixed up in the Nilkaya affair?
45636You do n''t mind our invading your sanctum for a minute or two, Henry?
45636You found Image bad company?
45636You had no communication from Mr. Borroughes this morning, I suppose?
45636You had, perhaps, a proposition?
45636You have had no wireless from your uncle or from the firm since you left?
45636You have heard the story of my friend, Wu Ling?
45636You have heard then?
45636You have no further suggestions to make, I suppose?
45636You mean that, Doctor?
45636You think that his word it is broken,the latter asked,"broken to us who scorned even to watch him to the ship?"
45636You think you get the jewels?
45636You will come on Thursday?
45636You wo n''t argue the matter?
45636You''re not one of the Englishmen who looted the place?
45636You''re not suggesting, I hope, that there is any kindness in driving you to Norwich?
45636You''ve been out along with Mr. Gregory, sir?
45636Your aunt all right to- day?
45636Your uncle has found what he wanted in London then?
45636Yun- Tse,she murmured,"the home of the Body and the Soul?"
45636A county squire, however, finds few opportunities.--Off already, Borroughes?"
45636Am I not right in saying, Mr. Endacott, that you could, if you would, assist us in the matter of obtaining those jewels?"
45636And I do n''t mind telling you that I hate you,"he went on,"because----""Because?"
45636And as for this burglar, who else except that pettifogging enquiry agent saw any one leave the Great House?
45636And did you see the Inspector turn around and look across towards the Hall?"
45636Any choice as to who turns the first card up?"
45636Any news about the burglary, Major?"
45636Anywhere where any one could have got hold of it?"
45636Are n''t you going to play, Uncle Bertram?"
45636Are you shocked at me for my materialism?
45636Ballaston?"
45636But how?
45636But what does it all mean?
45636By- the- by, Claire, you did n''t come down again last night after you had gone to bed, did you, or hear anything unusual?"
45636By- the- by, did n''t I hear that Gregory Ballaston was going abroad again for some years?"
45636By- the- by, there was nothing much stolen, was there?
45636CHAPTER III"Well,"Claire exclaimed, laughing at Gregory Ballaston across the table,"how have you enjoyed your dinner?"
45636CHAPTER V"Steward,"Gregory asked him, standing up in the centre of his stateroom, his hands behind his back,"do I look drunk?"
45636Ca n''t we talk in a little more friendly fashion?
45636Ca n''t you look as though you remembered that we are still brother and sister?"
45636Can any of you suggest anything which might throw light upon the affair?"
45636Can you help me?
45636Could one trust any Chinaman, even though he has saved one''s life, with a secret like this?
45636Did you love De Fourgenet?"
45636Do n''t you love the stillness with just the throb of the engine?"
45636Do n''t you sympathise with me for being rather glad to get away from here?"
45636Do they set much store by them?"
45636Do you honestly believe that at the present moment it is as it stands the receptacle for a portion of the jewels of the temple?"
45636Do you know that you are still very beautiful, Angèle?"
45636Do you know what Wu Ling, the Chinaman who rescued me and who apparently is one of the principals in the firm, suggested?"
45636Do you mind, just for a moment?"
45636Do you mind-- all on you-- when he pretended to be surprised about the murder?
45636Do you mind?"
45636Do you realise that he must know something about you or your family?"
45636Do you remember a man-- a brave fellow he was-- who used to trade up the Yun- Tse River amongst the villages?
45636Do you remember the day when he lunched here and he saw the Images?"
45636Do you wish me to believe that it was chance, or, perhaps, morbid curiosity, or had you another reason?"
45636Fielding?"
45636For what?
45636For what?
45636For whom do you watch?"
45636Gregory?"
45636Had you met him?"
45636Have I made myself quite clear?"
45636Have you seen anything of Gregory?"
45636He risked his life, did n''t he, a dozen times over?
45636Henry?"
45636How can I possibly, therefore, be of any interest to you?"
45636How on earth did that get to the Hall?"
45636How on earth is he likely to succeed, however, when you and Scotland Yard have failed?"
45636How on earth should I, Madame''s companion, know or think anything about him?"
45636I ask myself in wonder why I find you pleading for them?
45636I do n''t suppose you''ve read much European history, have you?"
45636I ought to know, ought n''t I?
45636If it is true that there are a million pounds''worth of jewels in these images, what good can they possibly do to any one hidden there for centuries?
45636If the story of this treasure is true and you can help them to get the jewels, why do n''t you?
45636Is it money?
45636Is it my fancy, or was n''t this place-- Market Ballaston-- the scene of some sort of a tragedy some time ago?
45636Is it you who have been stirring up all this trouble?"
45636Is that agreed?"
45636Is there any clue?"
45636Is this a fairy prince, Claire, or a very handsome young man in grey tweeds?"
45636Is this the truth, Wu Abst, or am I to search your ship?"
45636It is true, is n''t it, that you sit in your little office every day without stirring?
45636It is, of course, impossible for Madame to come and see me-- would it be possible for me to call upon her?"
45636It sounds like a page from somebody''s novel, does n''t it?
45636It''s the devil''s own luck to lose Ballaston, but we''ve gone the limit, eh, Gregory, to try to keep it?"
45636Johnson?"
45636Johnson?"
45636Johnson?"
45636Johnson?"
45636Miniature Buddhas, are n''t they?"
45636One of the villagers?"
45636Phillpots kept me some time at the British Museum, or I could really have caught the earlier train.--How is the piano?"
45636Phillpots?"
45636Queer situation, ai n''t it?"
45636Query-- how do we live?
45636Rawson, am I to be allowed a glass of the sherry?
45636Rawson?"
45636Sentiment, but hell all the same, is n''t it?
45636Shall I read to you?"
45636Shall we go down?"
45636Shall we go in, Major?
45636Shall you like it?"
45636Sir Bertram demanded in bewilderment--"the second Image of the Soul?
45636Smoke cigarette?"
45636So tell me, child, what could we do with more money?"
45636Supposing he wanted them?
45636There was a dark shrub near the wire fence-- or was it a shrub?
45636There''s nothing fresh, is there, Mr. Rawson, about the murder?"
45636To take another man''s life-- have you thought what it means?"
45636To whom do you consider that it belongs?"
45636Uncle,"she went on, as he stepped through the window,"do you realise that Mr. Ballaston knows Aunt Angèle?"
45636Was I a fool or am I a fool now?"
45636Was I-- er-- misbehaving more than usual?"
45636Was it his fancy, he wondered, or was there a faint note of sardonic disbelief in his even tone?
45636We did n''t meet fifteen months ago in China-- Wu Ling-- the firm of Johnson and Company?"
45636We''ve heard of jobs, Major, done from the inside, done by the victim, have n''t we?
45636Were there any papers there that mattered?"
45636Were you, by- the- by, personally acquainted with my unfortunate predecessor?"
45636What about poker?"
45636What about that?"
45636What are you doing to everybody?
45636What but real affection and kindness could bring him here day after day?"
45636What do you do?
45636What do you think of Gregory Ballaston?"
45636What do you think, Claire?"
45636What do you think?"
45636What does it matter about letters?"
45636What games do we both know?"
45636What of the other, his companion?"
45636What right have you to interfere, anyway?
45636What was the chief reason which made you in the first instance come over to China on that mad adventure?"
45636What will you do with your Image, young man, if you reach your country safely?"
45636Where did it happen?
45636Where did they come from?
45636Where did you say he lived?"
45636Where is your uncle?"
45636Which do you think might hold the jewels-- the Body or the Soul?"
45636Who asks?
45636Who cares?
45636Who is he?
45636Who lives in the long, low house across the way from my garden gate?"
45636Why are they such stay at homes?"
45636Why did you choose this place?"
45636Why did you come?
45636Why do you ask me about keys at a moment like this?
45636Why may n''t I help?"
45636Why not?"
45636Why should I not choose to come and live a quiet life in Market Ballaston?
45636Why should I waste my time?
45636Why should he?"
45636Why wait, Wu Ling?"
45636Why?"
45636Will you excuse me if I hurry you downstairs now?
45636Will you marry me, Claire, as soon as we reach England, and my father and your uncle can meet and give their consent?
45636Will you promise me one thing, Miss Besant?"
45636Will you promise me that you will not go away without seeing me?"
45636Without gold, how can buy?"
45636Wo n''t you smoke?"
45636Yet, after all, why should there be any secrecy?
45636You came back in Wu Ling''s trading schooner, did n''t you?"
45636You have n''t seen it yet, Borroughes, have you?"
45636You know the legend?"
45636You know the story of the last tenant here?"
45636You know what happened?"
45636You mind the young man Fielding, who called himself a retired schoolmaster and sat in the corner pretending to make flies?"
45636You think that in the first instance they were probably stolen?"
45636You were of Oxford, young man?"
45636You will not think it impertinent?"
45636You would n''t say that I was a popular person on board, would you, Perkins?"
45636You''ve never been affected before like this, have you?"
5163A garage?
5163A vocaphone?
5163About the car?
5163All right,he said, as if at last the die were cast and Garrick had carried his point,"but how are you going to do it?
5163Am I wounded? 5163 An anesthetic bullet?"
5163And Herman wrong about its being in the city?
5163And how are you?
5163And she''s already in the city?
5163And the car in the rear?
5163And the man believed that, too?
5163And then?
5163And then?
5163And they believed it?
5163And what is that?
5163And you have no confidence in the police?
5163And you have no idea who it could have been?
5163Any extra tires? 5163 Any word from Warrington?"
5163Are they there now?
5163Bleecker seven-- one-- eight-- o? 5163 But she got off all right, did n''t she?"
5163But what do you intend doing?
5163But what has that to do with the case? 5163 But,"I objected,"what good will they be?
5163By George, Tom,he exclaimed to me suddenly,"see those marks in the grease?
5163Ca n''t you think of anything else that would identify the driver of that other car?
5163Comment vous portez- vous, Mademoiselle?
5163Did he say anything?
5163Did he see who drove it?
5163Did n''t you know that? 5163 Did n''t you recognize him?"
5163Did they follow the Chief?
5163Did you catch a glimpse of his face? 5163 Did you fellows go anywhere?"
5163Did you know her? 5163 Did you read in the papers this morning about that murder of a girl whose body was found up in New Jersey in the underbrush?"
5163Do n''t you recognize it?
5163Do n''t you see that it will be better to accept his story, or rather seem to, and then watch him?
5163Do n''t you see that they''re cancelled?
5163Do you hear anything now?
5163Do you know Mrs. de Lancey?
5163Do you know anything about it?
5163Do you know the place?
5163Do you see who it is?
5163Do you think I''m going to travel around the city with that letter in my pocket?
5163Do you think you could carry part of it through?
5163Do you want to make a dollar, kid?
5163Doing?
5163Follow the Chief? 5163 For heaven''s sake-- Violet-- what''s all this?"
5163Garrick,I said at length,"do you really think that we have to deal with anything in this case but just plain attempted kidnapping of the old style?"
5163Got what?
5163Have I?
5163Have n''t found it?
5163Have you ever had any trouble?
5163Have you ever heard?
5163Have you heard from her?
5163Hear light?
5163How about revolvers?
5163How about the man who drove it?
5163How about the police?
5163How are you fellows? 5163 How are you going to work to find him?"
5163How are you, McBirney?
5163How can he ever pay?
5163How can you watch one of these fellows? 5163 How could he have got up there?
5163How did he explain that?
5163How did it happen?
5163How did the driver manage to explain it and get away?
5163How did you lose it?
5163How do I look?
5163How do you do, Lucille?
5163How do you know?
5163How does it work?
5163How does this gang, as you call it, operate?
5163How is Mortimer?
5163How much gas is there in this tank?
5163How was that?
5163How will you get a chance to do it?
5163How''s that?
5163How?
5163Huh-- so the bulls are after him?
5163I may-- see-- Mr. Warrington again soon?
5163I mean how is he really? 5163 I wonder where I can stow this away so that it wo n''t attract attention?"
5163I wonder where they all went?
5163I wonder which way they went?
5163I wonder who she can be?
5163I wonder who this fellow is that they call the Chief?
5163In what direction did they go?
5163Is it powerful?
5163Is n''t it bad enough to lose a car without being slandered about it into the bargain?
5163Is that so?
5163Is there any way in which I can be of service to you?
5163Just who and what was Rena Taylor?
5163Keep after that undersized fellow, will you?
5163May I-- see him?
5163Near Tuxedo?
5163Not make an arrest?
5163Packet of what?
5163Shall we take a chance?
5163She''s-- not-- dying-- is she, Garrick?
5163Since I have been ill, Mademoiselle, I have been doing some embroidery-- handkerchiefs-- are they not pretty?
5163Smell it again?
5163So you can distinguish between various kinds of light?
5163Sore?
5163Telephoning on a beam of light?
5163The Miss Winslow who is reported engaged to young Warrington?
5163The coats?
5163The detectaphone?
5163Then how did you get this cartridge-- or, at least why do you connect it with the disappearance of the car?
5163Then what is this?
5163Then you think this is a foreigner?
5163There was no trace of the car in the city?
5163Time for it?
5163Too risky?
5163Was that his case, too?
5163Watch him?
5163Well do you know who that girl was who was murdered?
5163Well, I got Warrington, did n''t I?
5163Well, commish, is that the way you greet an old friend?
5163Well, have you found out anything?
5163Well,gasped McBirney, sniffing the remains of the gas in the air,"this is some place, is n''t it?
5163Well,he argued,"they certainly ca n''t work without light of some kind, can they?"
5163Well,pursued Dillon diffidently,"how are you going to pull it off, down through the sky- light, or up through the cellar?"
5163Well?
5163Well?
5163Wh-- what''s the matter? 5163 Wh-- where''s Violet?"
5163What HAS happened, Violet?
5163What are these?
5163What are you going to do next?
5163What are you going to do, Guy? 5163 What are you going to do?"
5163What became of the letter?
5163What did he do with them?
5163What did he say?
5163What did the Boss say when he heard it?
5163What did you do then?
5163What difference does it make whether she knows about Forbes or not?
5163What do you make of it?
5163What do you mean-- a robbery up there in Tuxedo?
5163What does it do?
5163What does it mean?
5163What does it sound like?
5163What insanity is all this? 5163 What is gone?"
5163What is it?
5163What is it?
5163What is it?
5163What is it?
5163What is it?
5163What is it?
5163What is that?
5163What is that?
5163What is the stuff?
5163What kind of dogs are they?
5163What next? 5163 What of it?
5163What of it?
5163What the deuce is this?
5163What was that thing the fellow in the forward car whirled over his head?
5163What would Mrs. de Lancey think of THAT?
5163What''s all that?
5163What''s in this-- lead?
5163What''s on your mind, Marshall?
5163What''s that they are saying? 5163 What''s that?"
5163What''s that?
5163What''s that?
5163What''s the idea of this?
5163What''s the matter?
5163What''s the matter?
5163What''s the matter?
5163What''s the matter?
5163What''s the matter?
5163What''s the matter?
5163What''s the news?
5163What''s the use of taking that risk, Tom?
5163What''s this?
5163When would you do it?
5163Where are they?
5163Where did you come from?
5163Where did you find the car?
5163Where did you go afterward?
5163Where did you leave it?
5163Where did you leave the car?
5163Where do you suppose he went?
5163Where have they gone?
5163Where''s the Chief?
5163Who brought you here?
5163Who is this fellow?
5163Who knows? 5163 Who was it?"
5163Who was the girl?
5163Whose gun was it?
5163Why did n''t they make a pinch? 5163 Why do you ask?"
5163Why do you leave it here?
5163Why is it,she murmured,"that sometimes people with the best intentions manage to bring about things that are-- more terrible?"
5163Why-- how about Violet Winslow?
5163Why-- what do you mean?
5163Why-- what''s the matter?
5163Why?
5163Would you prefer to be sent to a State or a private institution?
5163Yes, Warrington-- a letter to her? 5163 Yes,"I assented,"and now that we have found them-- what are we to do with them?"
5163Yes,I persisted,"that is all right-- but the pain and the moments before the drug begins to work?"
5163Yes-- go on-- what?
5163Yes? 5163 Yes?"
5163You came up here for information, did n''t you?
5163You have some clew, then?
5163You know this poisoned needle stuff that''s been in the papers?
5163You mean Angus Forbes?
5163You mean it enables the blind to see by hearing?
5163You mean to tell me,I gasped,"that I was-- out?"
5163You will leave this with me?
5163You''re pretty well acquainted on the STAR?
5163You''ve been a prisoner, then?
5163A garage?
5163Ah, so that is the game that is in the wind, is it?
5163Ai n''t there nobody watchin''now?"
5163Are you game for trying to get into the stuss joint?"
5163Are you on?"
5163Are you sure you''re strong enough for such exertion?
5163But what''s the idea?"
5163Can you blame them if they thought it was a warning from the grave?"
5163Central, can you tell me what number that was which just called up?"
5163Did n''t I tell you?
5163Did the robber want them for himself or was he employed by another?
5163Did you hear those footsteps over the detectaphone?
5163Did you notice what it was that I photographed?"
5163Did you recognise the voice over the vocaphone?"
5163Did you see the old gink with the gold watch on the car?
5163Do n''t you think it is neat and delicate?
5163Do n''t you think we''d better keep quiet for a little while?"
5163Do n''t you understand?
5163Do n''t you understand?
5163Do you have to wait until the gases clear away before we can make a break and go in there?"
5163Do you recognize them by this time?
5163Do you wonder that I-- I want him better than others?
5163Ever hear of a little thing called a detectaphone?
5163Garrick?"
5163Good stuff, too,--but what do you think of him?
5163Had she penetrated beneath the honeyed words he must have spoken to her?
5163Had she, perhaps, really more of an idea than I who it could be?
5163Had they gone up or down, or had they crossed?
5163Has anything happened?
5163Has he any more news?"
5163Have n''t I always played fair with you, Garrick?"
5163Have you any idea who it could be?"
5163Have you time for it?"
5163How did they all manage to get out so quickly?"
5163How do you suppose the alarm could have been turned in so soon?"
5163How was Garrick to surmount this last and most formidable barrier?
5163Hunt around there, will you, and see if you can find anything?"
5163I agreed with him, but all I could find to say was,"Do you think there was more than this one whom they call the Chief engaged in the shootings?"
5163I asked,"Is he sore at having the raid pulled off over his head?"
5163I guess Warrington would call the whole thing off to release her-- eh?"
5163I suppose we are going to apply for lodgings at the famous hostelry, the Old Tavern?"
5163I suppose you have heard that there was n''t any bullet found in the body, either?"
5163I was glad when I heard Garrick stirring in his room in the early daylight and heard him call out,"Are you awake, Tom?
5163I was wondering how the police regarded Garrick''s part in the matter, and while Garrick was busy I asked,"Have you seen Inspector Herman lately?"
5163I whispered,"On the landing below?"
5163I wonder how our friend of the garage likes it, Tom?
5163I wonder if it would be possible to get into that ladies''poolroom on the next street?
5163If that is so, why do you not join in the crusade to suppress gambling in New York?
5163If they would murder and burn, what would they stop at in order to strike at us through the innocent figure of Violet Winslow?
5163In Tuxedo?
5163In so far as the affair involved the murder of that girl-- and I''m convinced that it does-- will you consider that you are working for the city, too?
5163Is he likely to be better soon, as Mr. Garrick said over the telephone?"
5163Is he-- on the level?"
5163Is it a safe one?
5163Is that one of those things?"
5163Just keep me posted, see?"
5163Might it be for the purpose of holding him up for money?
5163Need I say more?
5163No suspicion yet?"
5163No?
5163No?
5163Not a new shoe in the place?
5163Now, who was the girl?"
5163Now, you admit that you have been in the place, do n''t you?"
5163Say, they got that fire out pretty quickly, did n''t they?
5163Say, what the devil is this wire back here-- cut in on the telephone wire?
5163See the paper this morning?
5163See?
5163She is going to call on Lucille-- to- night-- that''s what she told her new maid there?
5163Someone has told the Boss-- he''s talking-- that they can go over Dillon''s head and get back all the gambling paraphernalia?
5163Suppose you meet me at eight in Washington Square, near the Arch?"
5163That was some raid up at the joint-- eh?"
5163That will take all day, she said?
5163The whole thing is crooked from start to finish,--the men, the machines,----""Then a fellow never had a chance?"
5163There, what do you know about that?"
5163They probably gambled together, drank together, and---""Do you suppose Forbes ever found out that she was really using him?"
5163To- night?
5163Warrington-- it-- it isn''t-- not to New York?"
5163Warrington?
5163Was he going to accuse someone in the room?
5163Was he, after all, not the simple, gullible Forbes, but a real secret master of crime?
5163Was it part of his plan to get control of the little fortune of Violet to recoup his losses?
5163Was it tire trouble or engine trouble?
5163Was it to learn something that might be used to embarrass him?
5163Was she one of your regular patrons?"
5163Were they one and the same?
5163What are they saying now?
5163What do you know of her?"
5163What do you mean?"
5163What do you suppose it was sent to me for?
5163What do you think of that?"
5163What do you want-- a racer?"
5163What does it sound like to you?
5163What good would a robbery do?
5163What had happened?
5163What happened?"
5163What if he had really planned to pay his losses by marrying a girl with a fortune?
5163What is it-- the Star?
5163What is it?
5163What is the street address of Bleecker seven-- one-- eight-- o?
5163What might not either one do next?
5163What might not happen to such a delicate slip of a girl in the power of such men?
5163What reason might there be why anyone should want Warrington''s love letters?
5163What secrets did the cottage hide, nestled down there in the valley among these green hills?
5163What was he going to reveal next?
5163What was next?
5163What was the secret of that unpretentious little house below us?
5163What was the trouble?"
5163What would be the outcome?
5163What''s the matter?
5163What-- what''s that?
5163Where had that minute or so gone?
5163Where was I hit?
5163Where was he going?
5163Where were you?
5163Who could have sent it?"
5163Who is he, where is he, and when will he strike?"
5163Who is this?
5163Who is this?"
5163Who, I asked myself, was the scientific gunman?
5163Who, I reasoned, would have been more eager to"get"Warrington at any cost than he?
5163Whom were you with?"
5163Why had they abandoned the car, especially when they had every prospect of eluding us in it?
5163Why, has he found out anything really new?"
5163Will you not be seated here in this easy chair?"
5163Without pausing for an answer he added,"I suppose you are aware of the character of this place?
5163Wo n''t you need some men with axes and crowbars?"
5163You have n''t been able to get in over there to attach anything, have you?
5163You understand?
5163You will be up on the train?"
5163You''ll go to the Gerry Society-- get me?"
5163You''re sure about the letter?"
5163greeted Garrick, as he met his old friend, then, turning to young Warrington, added:"Have you had a car stolen?"
5163he sputtered,"Was closest to what?"
5163he whispered huskily,"Does she know?
40464''Was it you, Cooper Silwood, that I saw? 40464 ''What are you doing with that paint on your cheeks?''
40464''What is the matter?'' 40464 ''What is the matter?''
40464A fortnight ago to- day? 40464 A natural question; but does not that mean bringing in the police?"
40464About what?
40464After I get a doctor,he said to Gilbert, whom he knew to be Francis Eversleigh''s son,"do n''t you think it would be well if I fetched a policeman?
40464Ah, you did not know of them?
40464Am I likely to forget anything or anybody connected with this affair?
40464Am I to consult the local authorities?
40464And Mr. Silwood is dead?
40464And Russell?
40464And Sir John was satisfied?
40464And after that?
40464And all the money is there in bonds and so forth?
40464And did you see any thing or any one?
40464And do you not see that I am between two fires,she continued;"so that I must yield myself?
40464And if I refuse?
40464And pray what will you do in the mean time?
40464And that is, signor?
40464And that is?
40464And there is nothing more that can be done just now?
40464And these are the private apartments of your partner, Mr. Cooper Silwood?
40464And what about Williamson?
40464And what does he say?
40464And what more, Mr. Bennet? 40464 And what reason can I give?
40464And what would be the inevitable result?
40464And what would be your next step?
40464And when did you get it, dear?
40464And when is he coming?
40464And yet your love is not strong enough to make you give me up-- even when you know I do not love you, and that my love is another''s?
40464And you wish my help in the matter?
40464Any news of her?
40464Are you better, father?
40464Are you coming to see me off to- morrow morning?
40464Are you quite serious in making these statements?
40464Are you still here?
40464Are you to see Bennet again soon?
40464At once; yes or no?
40464Bennet''s trial,he said at length,"is fixed for the middle of November, is it not, Ernie?"
40464Besides yourself and Mr. Bennet and me, does any other person know about this-- trouble?
40464But Silwood is dead, so you would say that it was the other? 40464 But about taking a holiday?"
40464But have the police discovered no trace of him?
40464But how did he get an instrument with which to open a vein in his arm?
40464But if I do not wish to listen to you?
40464But if there was some pressing reason?
40464But it made my blood fairly boil when I saw father, and heard his parrot- like cry of''What o''clock is it?'' 40464 But of what nature is it?"
40464But suppose he is not at the Foreign Office? 40464 But surely,"said Gilbert,"they should have felt some alarm seeing that they knew how frightfully ill he had been two days before, do n''t you think?"
40464But that he was wrong in putting it down to a burglar?
40464But the certificate of his death?
40464But the motive? 40464 But what about the body?"
40464But what are you driving at, Cooper?
40464But what excuse can I make?
40464But what then?
40464But what will his flight benefit him? 40464 But why?"
40464But why?
40464But with proper precautions?
40464But wo n''t you over- heat yourself, Gilbert?
40464But you will help me?
40464By the other hypothesis you intend the idea that he was murdered, I suppose?
40464By the way,he asked, looking at the clerk with a sharp glance,"how does Mr. Eversleigh strike you?
40464Camajore?
40464Can I carry a message, for instance,he went on, with a grin, rising to leave the room,"to a certain barrister in the Temple?"
40464Can I depend on that statement?
40464Can I not think of myself and of others too?
40464Can not you refer them to me or to my father?
40464Can we afford to let them know our affairs?
40464Can you cast your thoughts back,said Eversleigh, in a weak and quavering tone,"to a certain Saturday in July, when you were in this office?
40464Can you give me any idea when you will hear from the Minister again?
40464Can you not let him remain, at least, for a time?
40464Can you not say you are going to make extensive changes, owing to Mr. Silwood''s death?
40464Can you tell me, Mr. Williamson,he went on,"the day on which Mr. Silwood left for his holiday?"
40464Could you depend on his discretion?
40464Could you not take the money you owe him out of my fortune? 40464 D''you think you are well enough to go to the office to- day?"
40464D''you wish to leave to- day?
40464Dead? 40464 Did Kitty give you no reason?"
40464Did he appear surprised at Miss Thornton''s decision?
40464Did she have nothing to tell you about her father?
40464Did you cash the bill?
40464Did you find him quite sensible, as I said?
40464Did you happen to be here in this street that night?
40464Did you not go one night to New Square not long ago, and open it?
40464Did you see Miss Kitty this morning?
40464Do n''t you believe me?
40464Do n''t you see?
40464Do you believe Whittaker right in thinking the chamber was opened last night?
40464Do you happen to know if she received a letter from him this morning?
40464Do you happen to know the best and quickest way of getting to it?
40464Do you know the place?
40464Do you know their names?
40464Do you know where he is?
40464Do you mean hope of finding where he is gone or what has become of him?
40464Do you mean that you think he has been murdered?
40464Do you recall the contents of the Syndic''s letter?
40464Do you remember my father, Gilbert?
40464Do you report to Inspector Gale?
40464Do you see this bag?
40464Do you suppose,he asked at length,"that Mr. Silwood was guilty of other-- irregularities?"
40464Do you think I believe that? 40464 Do you think Mr. Thornton knew Mr. Silwood well enough to go to the latter''s rooms at midnight or thereabouts?"
40464Do you want an answer now?
40464Do you wish him arrested?
40464Does he know about father''s condition?
40464Father, do you know what you are saying?
40464Fifty thousand liras,thought Gilbert;"how much is that in English money?"
40464From Waterloo? 40464 Gladly, my boy; but how can you?
40464Going up to see your father, I suppose?
40464Good news, I hope?
40464Had he been long away from the office, from Lincoln''s Inn?
40464Has Mr. Eversleigh come in yet?
40464Has anything further been done in the case of Bennet?
40464Have they told you the good news, Gilbert?
40464Have you any explanation to offer, or any suggestion to make, regarding the finding of Mr. Thornton''s body in your partner''s private apartments?
40464Have you any hope?
40464Have you anything more to tell me?
40464Have you been again to York to see Bennet?
40464Have you made any guess as to what has happened?
40464Have you no capital? 40464 Have you no good wishes for me?"
40464Have you no idea of what has occurred to cause her to act in this strange manner, Gilbert?
40464Have you nothing to say? 40464 He arrives next week, you say?
40464He asks,''What o''clock is it?'' 40464 He did not send me any message?"
40464He is not dead?
40464He never told you that he had lost one of the keys?
40464He will take you from us,said Gilbert; and then he added, inconsequently and involuntarily,"I wonder if he will like me?"
40464He will, fast enough, to save you; for in saving you is he not saving himself and his career?
40464How am I to do it? 40464 How am I to meet him?"
40464How are his wife and child?
40464How are you, Harry?
40464How are you, Harry?
40464How can I defend this man?
40464How can I help it?
40464How can I permit it?
40464How can I tell? 40464 How can I, when all my thoughts are centred on one thing-- the ruin that is coming upon me and those innocent ones who must suffer?
40464How can I?
40464How did he get out of the country? 40464 How did he get up to the room at that time of night?
40464How do you know he went to the Law Courts Hotel, may I ask?
40464How does he know it? 40464 How does that help either you or me now?
40464How in the world,interjected Gilbert,"shall we be able to put all these matters right?"
40464How is father?
40464How is it spelt?
40464How is she?
40464How much did he offer you?
40464How much does he know?
40464How should there be? 40464 How would to- morrow do?"
40464I say nothing definite, Mr. Gilbert; but do n''t you think it looks that way?
40464I suppose, then,said Gilbert,"I had better go on to Rome?"
40464I suppose,he said to his mother,"I''ll find some of Ernie''s boating things in his room?"
40464I think his home is in Surbiton?
40464I wonder if Kitty Thornton has heard from her father by the same post? 40464 I''m to give everything and get nothing?"
40464IS IT MURDER?
40464If I prosecute you, you will be convicted and sentenced?
40464If I went to Scotland Yard, should I find the inspector in?
40464If he sold it, what did he sell it for? 40464 If he was such a good clerk, how was it that he did not know of Silwood''s defalcations?"
40464In mine?
40464In the mean time,asked Williamson,"shall I look out the deeds of the property?"
40464In what way?
40464Is James Russell anything like this?
40464Is anything the matter?
40464Is anything the matter?
40464Is he worse?
40464Is it a bargain?
40464Is it a mere accident, or has he discovered something? 40464 Is it likely?
40464Is it more money for investment?
40464Is it necessary, do you think, to wind up its affairs?
40464Is it not dreadful? 40464 Is it possible your Excellency knows anything of him?"
40464Is it something you have to tell me about my father?
40464Is it time to go in?
40464Is it you, James?
40464Is n''t it dreadful?
40464Is n''t it? 40464 Is the news good or bad?"
40464Is there any objection, doctor,asked Gilbert,"to my speaking to him at once?"
40464Is there anything I can do for you?
40464Is there anything else about which you wish to interrogate Ucelli?
40464Is there anything you wish to ask me? 40464 Is there no escape?"
40464Is there really nothing more?
40464Is this of importance to you?
40464It is about the effects of that poor Signor Silwood you have come,he said to Signor Vinci in Italian,"along with Signor Eversleigh, is it not?"
40464It is the case,said Harry, speaking sharply,"is it not, that your son Gilbert is engaged to Miss Thornton?"
40464It might even tempt an accomplice-- that is, if there were an accomplice, might it not?
40464It was no good?
40464It was very thoughtless of me-- pray forgive me; but wish me luck all the same, will you not, Kitty?
40464May I ask if you have formed any theory regarding Mr. Thornton''s disappearance?
40464May I ask who is the lucky man?
40464Miss Kitty, your father will make you happy; will you not make me happy too? 40464 Miss Kitty?"
40464Mr. Thornton has a daughter here?
40464Mr. Thornton was a client of yours, I believe?
40464Much?
40464News? 40464 Not at all; but why?"
40464Now, what do I know about it exactly? 40464 Now, will you assist me in drawing up a statement for publication?"
40464Of Morris Thornton?
40464Of course, the coincidence is remarkable, but what more can you say about it? 40464 Oh, Gilbert, do n''t you know, do n''t you remember?"
40464On the other hand, he might lose a key and say nothing about it; is that not so?
40464One of the things which perplex me is that he seems to take very little pleasure in the engagement of Kitty and Gilbert-- that is strange, is it not? 40464 Perhaps Mr. Williamson can tell us,"said Gilbert, as his father stopped,"if there is a will?"
40464Perhaps he saw you in the streets yesterday-- you were about a good deal, were you not?
40464Shall I ever forget it? 40464 Shall I go and fetch one?
40464Shall I stay, sir?
40464Silwood a rich man?
40464So far as I make the matter out, the position is this: you state Mr. Silwood disposed of my property and appropriated the proceeds-- is that it?
40464So that is how it is?
40464So you have remembered the date, sir?
40464Still there was a considerable acquaintance?
40464Still, do n''t you think you ought to examine them, considering present circumstances? 40464 Suppose I did tell her that, do you imagine that it would weigh with her, if it was not backed by some very strong, some overwhelming reason?"
40464Suppose the law did not forbid it,asked Gilbert,"what should I have to do in order to be allowed to remove the body?"
40464Tempt some one?
40464That being so, why not make a clean breast of everything?
40464That is Miss Thornton''s wish?
40464That is just where Mr. Silwood''s chambers are, are they not?
40464The Government at Rome?
40464The coroner?
40464The idea of my proposing to Miss Thornton makes you shudder, is that it?
40464The police?
40464The porter remembered that distinctly, I presume?
40464The properties Silwood sold, such as house property and land property; what is to be done about them?
40464Then it is only Mr. Bennet you have to fear?
40464Then should we not look for him in London?
40464Then why did you say to him-- I heard the words distinctly--''I''ll kill you''?
40464Then you think he is dead?
40464There was no ill feeling between them?
40464These are puzzles, are they not?
40464They need never know who Cooper Silwood was, need they?
40464This gentleman?
40464To give colour to the fiction of Silwood''s death?
40464To what do you refer?
40464Under what name did Silwood go when he was thus disguised?
40464Was Mr. Silwood also a friend of the deceased?
40464Was Russell a confederate?
40464Was that it?
40464Was there no one else who could have opened it?
40464We all found him together, did n''t we?
40464Well, Harry, back again?
40464Well, Westgate, how does that fit in with your theories about Silwood, Eversleigh''s partner?
40464Well, ca n''t we pay it?
40464Well, suppose I grant you that, what then? 40464 Well, where are we?"
40464Well,Harry replied grudgingly;"what is it?"
40464Well,cried Vinci;"what next?"
40464Well?
40464What about Williamson?
40464What about the Foreign Office people?
40464What about the date?
40464What am I tell Kitty?
40464What am I to do? 40464 What am I to do?"
40464What am I to do?
40464What are you saying?
40464What authorities?
40464What can be the matter with him, I wonder?
40464What can he do, my darling?
40464What choice have I, Gilbert?
40464What did you say his name was?
40464What do you intend doing?
40464What do you make of it?
40464What do you make of_ that_?
40464What do you mean, Cooper?
40464What do you mean?
40464What do you say?
40464What do you wish me to promise exactly?
40464What does Morris say?
40464What does he say?
40464What does it matter?
40464What else am I doing?
40464What form does his trouble take?
40464What good would that do me? 40464 What has been done with the money?"
40464What has happened?
40464What has happened?
40464What have I done? 40464 What is he doing here?"
40464What is it you say?
40464What is it, my son?
40464What is it?
40464What is it?
40464What is it?
40464What is it?
40464What is it?
40464What is it?
40464What is our balance?
40464What is the news?
40464What is the use?
40464What motive could Silwood have? 40464 What new calamity is this?"
40464What next? 40464 What occurred after the so- called death of Silwood?"
40464What other things?
40464What reward does she think of offering?
40464What shall we do with ourselves this afternoon?
40464What was Mr. Silwood doing in Italy?
40464What was it I was told? 40464 What was it you saw?"
40464What was that cry I heard?
40464What was the date on which Mr. Silwood departed for his holiday-- I understand he went to Italy?
40464What was the doctor saying to you, Gilbert?
40464What was this important negotiation of which you speak?
40464What we hold of it, Cooper, is something like a quarter of a million, is it not?
40464What will happen next?
40464What would you have me do?
40464What''s that?
40464What''s up now?
40464What, then, was the connection between Cooper Silwood and James Russell?
40464What?
40464What?
40464When was this discovery made?
40464When would you think of going, sir?
40464Where are these Safety Deposit Vaults?
40464Where do you think of going?
40464Whiff, whiff, what''s that?
40464Whom would you think of getting to examine the books and papers?
40464Why did you tell my father at all?
40464Why do n''t you write Miss Thornton?
40464Why do you not reproach me?
40464Why not let me do it?
40464Why not? 40464 Why not?"
40464Why should I consider him? 40464 Why should I suffer thus cruelly?"
40464Why, father?
40464Why?
40464Why?
40464Will Thornton come to- day?
40464Will you come, mother?
40464Will you explain, please?
40464Will you let me go with you?
40464Will you listen to me first-- just a moment,she pleaded, as she saw the impatient working of his face;"only a moment?"
40464Will you marry me, yes or no?
40464Will you not let me have it now, or very soon?
40464Will you please explain yourself?
40464Will you tell me if you have overhauled Mr. Silwood''s books and papers?
40464Will you try and find Sir John at the Foreign Office, then return and let me know? 40464 Will your Excellency take them now?"
40464With Mr. Thornton''s letter?
40464With what result?
40464Wo n''t you tell me all about it?
40464Would not that in itself excite remark?
40464Would you like a letter to my agent? 40464 Would you mind coming in to see him?"
40464Yes, I promise that, contingent----"Certainly, you mean contingent on your receiving the money? 40464 Yes, but what about Bennet?
40464Yes, sir; but should not a notice of the sale be drawn up at once, and the matter otherwise put in shape?
40464Yes; but how does all this prevent you from coming to the office? 40464 Yes; but is that not sufficient?"
40464Yes?
40464Yes?
40464You are determined to say nothing?
40464You are not hurt?
40464You are sure of the date?
40464You are sure that Miss Thornton will not mind?
40464You believe Ucelli to be in a plot,said the Minister, after some discussion,"to screen this Mr. Silwood?
40464You believe he was here last night-- here, in London, in this office?
40464You believe he''ll win?
40464You believe,he asked,"that the testimony of the secret chamber is absolutely convincing of Silwood''s being alive?"
40464You can get me the ten thousand?
40464You can not say exactly?
40464You deem that best?
40464You did not know of his arrival in London-- until when?
40464You do n''t notice anything particularly?
40464You do not scruple to tell me this,she said;"why do you tell me about it at all?"
40464You have a great deal of influence with your son?
40464You have had specialists called in?
40464You have heard about the Lincoln''s Inn case?
40464You have heard something?
40464You knew I was on the express?
40464You know now he lived in Vancouver?
40464You know of it?
40464You know that I do not love you?
40464You said,remarked the coroner,"that your firm supplied Mr. Silwood with two keys?"
40464You saw him again?
40464You think he was so confident he had obliterated the past, so to speak, that he took no further precautions?
40464You think,said Gilbert, slowly,"that Silwood murdered----?"
40464You thought Silwood murdered Thornton because of the money?
40464You understand thoroughly?
40464You went to Beauclerk Mansions?
40464You were aware that Mr. Thornton intended coming to London?
40464You were to get me the ten thousand pounds, and to pretend to sell the Mansions?
40464You will listen, then?
40464You will marry me soon?
40464You will marry me?
40464You will not forget your promise about my wife and child?
40464You will speak to your son and Miss Thornton to- night?
40464You will, as soon as you return to England, proceed to have this man hunted down?
40464You would not bring the police into the thing?
40464You would say he was driven to it by despair? 40464 Your son Gilbert had been making inquiries-- why?"
40464A very curious position, is it not?"
40464After that he asked himself the inevitable question--"Had Silwood said or done anything to cause such a shock to Thornton as killed him?
40464Again Gilbert was forced to ask himself, Might not Silwood, after all, be dead and buried at Camajore, as the Syndic had said?
40464Aloud he said,"Was the body buried near here?"
40464Am I going out of my senses?
40464Am I to tell her the truth also?"
40464Am I to tell him the truth?
40464Amongst others were such queries being put as: How did Thornton come to be in Silwood''s rooms?
40464And did any one besides Silwood have a key to the rooms?
40464And do you think he is alive?
40464And if this story is true, and if this workman had something to do with Thornton''s death, how is he to be connected with Cooper Silwood?
40464And if this were the case, what then?
40464And in what way had he met his death?
40464And it is hot, is n''t it?
40464And now?
40464And once there, what had taken place prior to his death?
40464And the time which would almost certainly be occupied in the quest-- what might not happen in the interim?
40464And then?"
40464And what could Gilbert do to help him?
40464And what did he say?"
40464And what might there not appear in these journals in addition to the account of the inquest?
40464And what took him there?
40464And where is the money?"
40464And who had locked the door upon him?
40464And with a key which unlocked that gate?"
40464Any matter to attend to?"
40464Are you sure of that?"
40464Bennet?"
40464Bennet?"
40464Bennet?"
40464Besides, is there no scheme that we can devise to----""What scheme could be devised?"
40464But are you not counting too much on Silwood''s being at St. Paul?
40464But ca n''t you make a pretty fair guess at the approximate date from his letter?
40464But did her letter afford no hint?
40464But do you mean to say you do not know what has made her change her mind?"
40464But he immediately inquired once more,''What o''clock is it?''
40464But how am I to tell it?
40464But how did you know he was rich?"
40464But how is Davy?"
40464But how?
40464But how?"
40464But if I did have the door opened, what would be the use?
40464But if Thornton had been murdered, who, then, was the murderer?
40464But if the secret chamber was not opened by a burglar, then by whom was it opened?"
40464But let me know, will you not, how this frightful thing has come about?"
40464But though not actually guilty, was he a party to the guilt of Silwood all along, and therefore guilty in that sense?
40464But was that altogether true?
40464But what did he want, I wondered?
40464But what good will that be to me?
40464But what is the date of your father''s letter?"
40464But what would you?
40464But who is this man?"
40464But why do you ask me this?"
40464But why do you ask this, mother?"
40464But you see what all this means?
40464But you will not keep me waiting too long?"
40464But, if this were the case, why had he not sent, or caused to be sent, a message to the firm or to his daughter?
40464But, in any case, who would trust the story of a tramp by itself?
40464But, in that case, what would he think of her?
40464But, once more, Westgate, my boy, where is the motive for all this astonishing business?"
40464By the way, how is your father?
40464By- the- way,"said Ernest,"who in his absence is to look after his department?"
40464CHAPTER IX What was the explanation?
40464CHAPTER X"What?"
40464CHAPTER XXX"I?"
40464CHAPTER XXXVIII"What do you now intend to do?"
40464Can I have the money to- morrow?"
40464Can you not help me?"
40464Case of absconding?"
40464Cholera, was it not?"
40464Could it be that Mr. Thornton had gone to see Mr. Silwood about some matter?
40464Could it be, in any way, he wondered, connected with Bennet?
40464Could she not make a bargain with Bennet?
40464Did the letter to us come by the first delivery or the second?
40464Did the man not deserve death?
40464Did you know about this man being here-- the man I saw?
40464Did you say anything to mother about going to America?"
40464Did you?"
40464Do burglars break into lawyer''s rooms?
40464Do n''t you see that, Gilbert?"
40464Do n''t you see this secret chamber was a receptacle in which Silwood hid papers or other things he had an object in concealing?
40464Do n''t you see, Kitty, I should be a fool to give you up?"
40464Do you blame me so much for doing so, when you, Kitty, are the prize to be won?"
40464Do you happen to know what he was like in appearance?"
40464Do you intend going to the United States after Silwood?
40464Do you intend to adopt my scheme?"
40464Do you know what you are?
40464Do you know why she has broken off with me, and why she is to marry Bennet?"
40464Do you not understand?
40464Do you promise?"
40464Do you see, Kitty?
40464Do you think Mr. Thornton was murdered?"
40464Do you think he will be fit to see me to- morrow?"
40464Do you think there was?"
40464Do you understand, Miss Thornton?"
40464Do you understand?"
40464Do you understand?"
40464Does it mean that there is some conspiracy, a conspiracy in which the Eversleighs are involved?"
40464Does that content you?"
40464Does that mean that father had advised Mr. Wallace that he had sailed?
40464Eh, is that it?"
40464Eversleigh?"
40464Eversleigh?"
40464Eversleigh?"
40464Eversleigh?"
40464Everybody knows Mr. Silwood died of cholera; and who amongst the villagers will have the courage to face the pestilence?"
40464For if Morris Thornton were dead, or if it were only that he had disappeared, was not that to postpone the day of reckoning?
40464For what reason?
40464Gilbert is nothing to me; why should I consider him?
40464Gilbert read the translation rapidly, and asked--"Did you ever answer the letter?"
40464Gilbert''s gaze seemed to ask the question,"What is the meaning of all this?"
40464Gilbert?"
40464Giving it to her, he said, eagerly,"You remember the bargain we made?"
40464Had Thornton been murdered?
40464Had he anything to do with it?
40464Had he gone there of his own volition?
40464Had he got warning?
40464Had she not warned him against this very man?
40464Has he suffered from some severe illness-- some bad attack recently?"
40464Has she or Helen or any one heard how Miss Thornton is?"
40464Have I not a right to know?
40464Have you anything more to tell me about this workman?"
40464He asked again,''What o''clock is it?''
40464He had very good reasons for imagining there would be no will, for had not Silwood told him that he had no money?
40464He told me there were two or three desirable flats vacant; would I care to look over them?
40464He will certainly not care to prosecute the father of his daughter''s accepted husband, will he?"
40464He''s been away a long time without a holiday at home-- seven years, is n''t it?
40464How am I to do it?"
40464How can I compel her to marry you?"
40464How could you have been such a fool as to lose so much money?
40464How do you intend doing it?"
40464How far up the line was the accident?"
40464How had Morris Thornton come to be there at all?
40464How has it been discovered?
40464How is it you are here so quickly?
40464How long can it go on in my father''s absence without something being discovered and a catastrophe precipitated?
40464How long will it take me to get there?"
40464How many people know about my property being disposed of-- in this irregular manner by Silwood?"
40464How tell him so that he would understand her decision was irrevocable?
40464How was he to tell Kitty, his darling?
40464How was he to tell her what he had heard?
40464How was she to break the news to him?
40464I do not know how much you do know?"
40464I should like to know if he is aware where Silwood,_ alias_ Russell, went to in England?"
40464I suppose he tells you in your letter just when to expect him, Kitty?"
40464I suppose it will realize thirty or forty thousand, wo n''t it?"
40464I suppose you have been giving him a lecture?"
40464I wonder how many things are really impossible?"
40464I wonder if he is much changed?
40464I wonder if the darkness which surrounds my father''s death will ever be cleared away?"
40464I wonder who is his heir, or if he has one?
40464If he had told any one, would he not have told me?
40464If he is not dead, what does that imply?
40464If so, what then?
40464If so, what?"
40464If so, with what object?
40464If the tramp was in Chancery Lane at the time he said he was, how was it he saw nothing of Morris Thornton?
40464If this workman committed the murder, how did he get possession of the key to Silwood''s chambers?
40464In Heavens name, what am I to do?"
40464In what way?"
40464Instead, he looked very thoughtful; at length he spoke,"You have no doubt about Silwood being alive, sir?"
40464Is he at Ivydene?"
40464Is it likely that anything I said to them would make them break off their engagement?"
40464Is it not just the other way?
40464Is it not so?"
40464Is it not so?"
40464Is it that your love for me dictates this generosity?
40464Is it true?"
40464Is n''t it sad?"
40464Is n''t it the strangest thing in the world?
40464Is that not the case?"
40464Is there any name on the list in which you are particularly interested?"
40464Is there any plan in your mind?"
40464Is there no way of getting over the difficulty?"
40464It could not be long in coming, he reflected with indescribable bitterness, for was not Morris Thornton already overdue?
40464It suddenly faded away, however, and he asked quite evenly,"Does he say when he is coming?"
40464It was a curiously tangled skein: would it ever be unravelled?
40464It was noble of him, she thought, to take this attitude, and if he had not been able to stick to it, was she the one to condemn him for it?
40464Kitty, Kitty, what do you say, my darling?
40464Kitty, do you love me?
40464Leaving that aside, have you thought of the scheme I mentioned----?"
40464Louis_ on the 21st?"
40464Louis_ or not?"
40464Men make up their minds to cut away completely from their surroundings, to begin a new life, to turn over a fresh leaf, and so on; do you see?"
40464Moving with slow, halting steps down the stairs, he kept asking himself the question,"What am I to do now?"
40464Mr. Thornton would have sent word to the hotel sooner or later, do n''t you think?"
40464Mrs. Eversleigh, however, was in; would he not come in and see her?
40464No means of your own?"
40464Now, ask one of the doctors to come here?"
40464Now, do you see?
40464Now, do you see?"
40464Now, do you think, with this hanging over him, he is a proper person to marry Miss Thornton?
40464Now, do you understand?"
40464Now, is there anything more I can do for you?
40464Now, sixteen days are not exactly a few days, are they?"
40464Now, your Excellency, what is the next move?"
40464Oh, Gilbert, what does it all mean?
40464On what day do you look for him?"
40464One night he had a sort of fit in bed; when it passed he asked,''What o''clock is it?''
40464One would think you were practising, rehearsing some part... a disguise... seeing how it would do... but why, Silwood, why?
40464Or had he discovered what Silwood had done only after Silwood''s death?
40464Or is Francis Eversleigh to go to prison?"
40464Or shall I take the letter with me and get it translated?"
40464Or-- what?
40464Paul?"
40464Presently he turned to his father and asked, almost fiercely--"Can you tell me why this has happened?
40464Rather sudden, is it not?"
40464Say he did not, and that the whole thing is a plant, a put- up job?"
40464Shall I go and bring him?
40464Should he tell Gilbert the whole truth or not?
40464Silwood?"
40464Silwood?"
40464Since when?"
40464So you will go straight there?
40464Still, if there was to be found a way of satisfying him, would that release you from further worries of the same kind?"
40464Still, why should n''t Silwood be dead?
40464Suddenly he made up his mind, as Gilbert said beseechingly--"Oh father, will you not tell me what you know?"
40464Suppose Silwood did kill Morris Thornton, what would be his reason?
40464Suppose Thornton died in Silwood''s presence, why on earth should not Silwood have said so boldly?
40464Suppose we take your suppositions as certainties, what next?"
40464Suppose you go round to New Square while I go on to Mr. Silwood''s chambers?"
40464Surely you must admit that?"
40464Taking these two things together, is there need to say more?"
40464Tell me, do you love me?
40464That is quite definite, is it not?
40464That is so, is it not?"
40464That was so, he thought; would I go with him to the manager''s office?
40464That was the idea in your mind, was it not?"
40464That''s what you mean?"
40464The girl was fond of him for his own sake, and was he not Gilbert''s father?
40464The lips of the dead man were for ever sealed; but had he left nothing behind him?
40464Then what about Silwood''s alleged losses on the Stock Exchange?
40464Then, he asked himself, what was his own duty?
40464There, is that plain enough?"
40464Thornton''s?"
40464Thornton?"
40464Thornton?"
40464Thornton?"
40464Very remarkable, was it not?"
40464Was anything too bad for him?
40464Was he, he wondered, the last man to see Thornton alive?
40464Was it not so?"
40464Was it this morning your father heard of Mr. Silwood''s death, and how did he hear of it?"
40464Was not my knocking you up in this way justified?"
40464Was this not the best course to pursue?
40464We have rather lost sight of him, have we not?"
40464Well, to go back, your father, on learning of Mr. Silwood''s death, sent for you; what came next?"
40464Were they fictitious too?
40464What am I to do?"
40464What can I do to show how thankful I am?"
40464What can I do?"
40464What can it be?"
40464What can you do against a dead man?
40464What connection was there between that death and Cooper Silwood?
40464What could be the explanation of her extraordinary conduct?
40464What could have brought about this mighty change?
40464What could he say to her?
40464What could it be?
40464What did this conjunction indicate?
40464What do you mean, Cooper?"
40464What do you mean, sir, by saying that you are a friend of his in a sense?"
40464What do you mean?"
40464What do you mean?"
40464What do you promise for them?"
40464What do you think?"
40464What does he say?"
40464What does that mean, taken in connection with the fact that next morning Silwood left London?
40464What does this mean?''
40464What good would it do?
40464What had Silwood to do with it?
40464What had she said to Bennet?
40464What has become of my property?
40464What has become of my property?"
40464What has become of my property?"
40464What have I done?"
40464What have you done with my money?"
40464What have you to say?"
40464What is the amount of your-- of our, I suppose I must say-- defalcations?"
40464What is the trouble?"
40464What is the use of dwelling on what is past and can not now be mended?"
40464What is there that any one can do?
40464What is to be done now?
40464What meaning, Mr. Eversleigh, am I to place on your silence?
40464What mistake have I made?
40464What more do you know?"
40464What next?
40464What next?"
40464What o''clock is it?"
40464What pressure, in Heaven''s name, can Bennet have brought to bear on her?
40464What service would that be to you or to the firm?
40464What sinister, malign influence had cast its spell over her?
40464What was a workman doing in the Inn at that time of night?
40464What was found in it?"
40464What was it?
40464What was it?
40464What was this man doing in Northern Italy, a few miles from Camajore?
40464What was, or is, the consideration?"
40464What would she do?
40464What would she say to him?
40464What would the mechanic who made the box care about taking anything out of the secret chamber?
40464When I got to the Mansions, can you guess what I discovered?"
40464When do you intend to go?"
40464When he found he could not get out by the door, would he not have broken one of the windows?
40464Where is it you are going?"
40464Where, he wondered, had Silwood got such a sum?
40464Whittaker?"
40464Who was the man-- the man who lay dead?
40464Who, beside Silwood, would have any object in opening it?"
40464Why did he not call a policeman-- why?
40464Why do n''t you speak?"
40464Why had she done this?
40464Why not buy one and be done with it all?
40464Why not, pray?"
40464Why should he commit suicide?"
40464Why should he have done so?
40464Why should he have run away as you conjecture he did?
40464Why?
40464Will you arrange about a steamer, while I run across to Surbiton to see father, mother, and Helen?"
40464Will you consent to make some provision for them, if I declare everything without concealment or reserve?
40464Will you marry me, yes or no?
40464Will you not tell me of it?
40464Will you send Francis Eversleigh to prison, or will you marry me?
40464Williamson?"
40464Williamson?"
40464With what end in view?
40464Would it not have been far easier, safer, better for him to have at once summoned a policeman and told him what had happened?"
40464Would you employ private detectives?"
40464Yes; but there is one question I must ask: Why has he tried to screen Mr. Silwood?
40464Yet the search all over America-- was that not like looking for a needle in a haystack?
40464You can leave to- night for Genoa?"
40464You follow me?"
40464You had what you have just told me from the hotel people?"
40464You have something to tell us?"
40464You know that I am engaged to Gilbert Eversleigh?"
40464You never heard that she rejected me?"
40464You purposed to transfer the securities to yourself as James Russell?
40464You saw him yesterday, I believe; was there anything in what you told him to account for the deed?"
40464You see my position?"
40464You see that, do n''t you?"
40464You see, of course, that it is necessary to get to know Mr. Silwood''s movements?"
40464You shall have the necessary document from me on the day of our marriage; that is fair, is it not?"
40464You suggest I should attempt the same game with James Russell, is that it?"
40464You think his death may be a fake; is that it?"
40464You think it important?"
40464You will do that, I presume?"
40464You will hold nothing back?"
40464cried Kitty;"how can I touch your heart?"
40464exclaimed Westgate, eagerly;"do n''t you see where that lands you?
40464he stammered, in increasing agitation--"what is it?"
40464or would it take its place among the many unsolved mysteries of London?
40464what loophole left?
40464what must he think of her?
39134A broken bracelet?
39134A new kink?
39134A spy of some sort, eh?
39134About what?
39134Actress?
39134Afraid?
39134Ah, Olga, why the deuce must you go and fall in love with a bundle of ashes like myself? 39134 Ah,"flashed back the count,"but a new cook?"
39134Ai n''t none o''my business, huh? 39134 Am I?"
39134An''say, Mister, seen anythin''in th''papers about a missin''young woman?
39134And I shall see my father?
39134And Jim?
39134And after that minute is up?
39134And can you trust Beggs?
39134And do you mean to say that you came away and left her alone in that house?
39134And do you think that you can lead Florence to the million?
39134And how much did they pay you for letting that doctor send Florence to Atlantic City? 39134 And let the man I love die?"
39134And the man who was found?
39134And then?
39134And what are these documents?
39134And what are you going to do with me now that you have got me?
39134And what did you expect to learn by looking through the keyhole of my door?
39134And what do you want; some peaches?
39134And what shall we do there?
39134And what the devil is that?
39134And what would you advise?
39134And what would you do with it?
39134And what''s that?
39134And who is she?
39134And who is that?
39134And you are my father?
39134And you have followed me from Russia?
39134And you need it now?
39134And you want me to assist in signing away the liberty of some person who is perfectly sane?
39134Anything good?
39134Anything serious?
39134Are n''t you going to kiss me, Leo?
39134Are you going to keep your promise?
39134Are you really anxious to marry this young man?
39134Are you sure of that?
39134Are you sure?
39134Are you turning against me?
39134Are you willing to wait for a great story, the real story?
39134As-- as a husband?
39134Bannock? 39134 Blood?"
39134Bookish, eh? 39134 But can the child stand the terrors?"
39134But if I should command, upon the pain of dismissal?
39134But so long as your personal friends are not concerned?
39134But what are you doing here, dressed up as a waiter?
39134But what was the reason for that fake cable from Gibraltar saying that Orts was alive? 39134 Ca n''t they let her go?"
39134Ca n''t you find some one else to do this stuff?
39134Child of the Steppes, for years I''ve flown about seas and continents, through valleys and over mountains-- for what? 39134 Child?
39134Come, doctor, suppose you and I go down to Daly''s for a little turn at billiards?
39134Come, my dear; ca n''t you see that it is your father?
39134Cordial as ever; and yet..."Yet what?
39134D''ye hear me?
39134Danger? 39134 Did I shake my head?"
39134Did he say where he''d got the cash?
39134Did my father know countesses?
39134Did n''t I tell yuh?
39134Did they find anything?
39134Did they give it to you?
39134Did you ever see me drink more than a pint of wine or smoke more than two cigars in an evening? 39134 Did you tell him where she was?"
39134Did you, Jones?
39134Do I look like a woman who would go to Siberia?
39134Do my actions point that way?
39134Do n''t you know me?
39134Do n''t you think it about time the police called a halt in this gunman matter?
39134Do n''t you think, sir, that I''d better try that bedroom door again?
39134Do n''t yuh believe it?
39134Do you know anything at all about him?
39134Do you know anything?
39134Do you know what''s back of it all?
39134Do you know where Hargreave is?
39134Do you know where the money is?
39134Do you love this child?
39134Do you mean to say that they have not told you about that?
39134Do you realize what that mere chit did?
39134Do you think so?
39134Do you think so?
39134Do you think there is any hope of having her understand what really happened?
39134Do you think there is poison in it?
39134Do you think you could find this place again?
39134Do you understand me?
39134Does he follow me?
39134Does she belong to the organization?
39134Editorial page gone down?
39134Eh?
39134Enchantress, may I have the pleasure of this dance?
39134English? 39134 Ever see anything to beat that, Mac?"
39134Fire?
39134For what?
39134Good lord, are you losing your nerve?
39134Got that story?
39134Has my father appeared yet?
39134Have I ever fallen down on a good story?
39134Have I really a father? 39134 Have n''t all these failures been a warning?"
39134Have n''t you been able to see by this time what his game is? 39134 Have you a launch?"
39134Have you another horse and a saddle?
39134Have you threatened her?
39134He''s alive?
39134He''s alive?
39134Heave her over; what do you want me to do for that handsome roll of money?
39134Hello, Jones; what''s up?
39134Hello, who is it?
39134How about twenty apiece?
39134How can I get out of here?
39134How did you get here?
39134How did you know that she was here?
39134How do you know that Hargreave may not have at his beck and call an organization quite as capable if not as large as ours?
39134How does she act toward you?
39134How is it, Bill?
39134How long have you been with me?
39134How long may a counterfeiter be sent up?
39134How long will you hold open for me?
39134How much do you want?
39134How much is it?
39134How much? 39134 How much?"
39134How much?
39134Huh? 39134 I am indebted to the Black Hundred?"
39134I did?
39134I take it,began the doctor lowly,"that a contagious disease, if it became known among your guests, would create a good deal of disturbance?"
39134I''m not wanted for anything?
39134I, Miss Florence?
39134If I tell you who those young ladies are, will you give me your word of honor not to write about them till I give my permission?
39134If she should be injured?
39134If that''s the case,said Vroon,"why has n''t he had us apprehended?"
39134In Russia?
39134In heaven''s name, tell me what is the matter?
39134In heaven''s name, what has happened?
39134In what capacity?
39134Indeed, miss?
39134Is Miss Hargreave in?
39134Is anything the matter?
39134Is everything satisfactory, sir?
39134Is he rich?
39134Is it wrong for me to call Mr. Norton Jim?
39134Is n''t she with you?
39134Is that Jones?
39134Is that so?
39134Is that so?
39134Is there any way I could get near him?
39134Is there such a man?
39134Is this it?
39134Is this the Hargreave place?
39134Is your car outside?
39134It is in my room?
39134Jim?
39134Jones, is Miss Florence awake?
39134Jones, what do you think of it?
39134Jones,said Florence,"why do you rub your hands like that?"
39134Jones?
39134Jones?
39134Just a little uncertain?
39134Killed?
39134Knew what?
39134Leo, are you using any drug these days?
39134Letter? 39134 Looking for the dramatic job?"
39134May I smoke?
39134Midnight? 39134 Miss Susan, where is Florence?"
39134Missing young woman? 39134 Murder in cold blood?"
39134Music does not soothe your soul, then?
39134My child, your father is alive, then?
39134My father''s orders?
39134My girl, have n''t I just told you that I had to fight for my life? 39134 My man,"said Braine,"would you like to make some money?"
39134My mother?
39134My mother?
39134No will found yet?
39134No wireless yet?
39134Norton? 39134 Nothing on the Hargreave stuff?"
39134Now what, my child?
39134Now, I wonder,mused the costumer,"what the dickens those innocent- looking young people are up to?"
39134Now, Mr. Norton,said Jones gloomily,"will you be so kind as to follow me?"
39134Now, what evidence can he want?
39134Of course, sir, ye''ve got proof thet she''s your daughter?
39134Of me?
39134Of what are you thinking?
39134Oh, it is, is it? 39134 Oh, yuh will, will yuh?"
39134Olga?
39134Poison? 39134 Proof?"
39134Satisfactory?
39134Shall I play something for you?
39134She has no idea where the million is?
39134So Jones went along?
39134So our friend will accompany me back to good Russia? 39134 So what Jones tells me is true; that you are going to marry this reporter chap?"
39134Struggle? 39134 Suppose some one should come and demand that I open the safe and deliver?"
39134Suppose we go at once and pick out some costumes?
39134Suppose we have a real old- fashioned coaching party out to the old mansion we know about?
39134Susan,said Florence, as she came into breakfast after her exhilarating ride,"did you hear pistol shots last night?"
39134Tender- hearted?
39134That is in town?
39134The man of the Black Hundred?
39134The servants too?
39134Then I have said something witty?
39134Then how is it that some one is watching from up there? 39134 Then perhaps you have come with some suggestions for the betterment of our business?"
39134Then why did n''t you yell for help?
39134Then you have some ulterior purpose in having me invite her?
39134Then you think they will find it?
39134Then you will stay and be Miss Florence''s companion?
39134There are but few: which one?
39134There is danger?
39134They have not found his body?
39134Thinking?
39134This is Captain Hagan?
39134This is Miss Hargreave talking?
39134To whom, then, does this hat belong?
39134Two young women? 39134 Was I frowning?"
39134Was I mumbling? 39134 Was I rubbing my hands, Miss Florence?"
39134Was it an ordinary balloon?
39134Was it necessary to keep that invisible letter?
39134Was there another body anywhere?
39134Was there any struggle?
39134Washington?
39134We are near the end?
39134We have a free hand?
39134Well, my beauty?
39134Well, old fox, we''ve cornered you at last, have n''t we? 39134 Well, supposing I were engaged to him?"
39134Well, what''s the news?
39134Well, why not? 39134 Well?"
39134Well?
39134Well?
39134Well?
39134Wha''did I say?
39134Whadda y''know about that? 39134 What about that blank sheet of paper?"
39134What are you doing all this way from home?
39134What are you hunting for, child?
39134What are you mumbling about?
39134What are you two chattering about?
39134What are your suggestions?
39134What became of him?
39134What did I want?
39134What did they do to you?
39134What did you think?
39134What do you know about the Countess Perigoff?
39134What do you mean, sir?
39134What do you mean?
39134What do you mean?
39134What do you think of that woman?
39134What do you think?
39134What do you want me to do?
39134What does that mean?
39134What headquarters? 39134 What in the world can I say to you to convince you?"
39134What is it you wish, sir?
39134What is it? 39134 What is it?"
39134What is it?
39134What is it?
39134What is it?
39134What is it?
39134What is it?
39134What is it?
39134What is my father''s name?
39134What is the trouble?
39134What is to become of me?
39134What is your opinion of the butler?
39134What kind of a man is the captain of that old hooker in the slip?
39134What made you come here dressed like this?
39134What makes you frown like that?
39134What news?
39134What now?
39134What promise?
39134What proof have I of that?
39134What proof have you that you are what you say?
39134What shall I do, Susan? 39134 What shall I wear?"
39134What the deuce do you mean by that?
39134What time is it?
39134What was it? 39134 What was the box like?"
39134What were you doing outside my door?
39134What''a''yuh got there?
39134What''ll I do? 39134 What''s on your mind?"
39134What''s the grouch?
39134What''s the matter with Jim?
39134What''s the matter with you?
39134What''s the matter, Cap''n?
39134What''s the real news?
39134What''s the trouble, mister?
39134What''s the trouble?
39134What''s the use of trying to fool me, Jim? 39134 What''s this I hear about an insane young woman?"
39134What''s this?
39134What''s this?
39134What''s your hurry?
39134What, Norton?
39134What, a tunnel?
39134What?
39134What?
39134What?
39134When shall I wake you?
39134Where are we going?
39134Where are you going?
39134Where are you taking me?
39134Where away, sir?
39134Where did you get that?
39134Where did you get this?
39134Where have they hidden that money?
39134Where is Florence?
39134Where is it?
39134Where to?
39134Where''s Florence?
39134Where''s Howard?
39134Where''s Jim Norton?
39134Where''s the horse and buggy, Jake?
39134Where''s the library?
39134Where''s the most popular road?
39134Where''s your gag?
39134Where? 39134 Who are you and what are you doing here?"
39134Who are you bumping into?
39134Who are you, miss?
39134Who are you?
39134Who can say one way or the other?
39134Who can say?
39134Who gave you that ring?
39134Who is Florence Hargreave?
39134Who is it?
39134Who is it?
39134Who is it?
39134Who is it?
39134Who is it?
39134Who is it?
39134Who is she?
39134Who is your friend, Norton?
39134Who knows that they may not really drive her insane?
39134Who sent it?
39134Who sent this message?
39134Who the devil are you?
39134Who was that?
39134Who was the man?
39134Who were the men in the motor boat that chased Jones?
39134Who''s talkin''t''you?
39134Whom do you wish to see, madam?
39134Why did he leave me all these years without ever coming to see me? 39134 Why did n''t he come to meet me instead of you?"
39134Why did n''t you call for help?
39134Why did n''t you call me?
39134Why did n''t you tell me?
39134Why do n''t you draw the cash yourself?
39134Why do you laugh?
39134Why do you shake your head like that?
39134Why not do the thing right?
39134Why not wait till Mr. Jones returns?
39134Why two?
39134Why, Susan, what''s the matter?
39134Why, what in the world do you mean?
39134Why?
39134Why?
39134Why?
39134Why?
39134Why?
39134Will he live?
39134Will she live?
39134Will you describe the daughter?
39134Will you take a ride with me in a taxi?
39134With or without my consent?
39134Would it have given our affairs a serious turn if it had fallen into alien hands?
39134Would n''t you rather talk to a pretty woman?
39134Would you like to go with her, Florence?
39134You ai n''t tryin''to insure anybody in town, are you?
39134You are certain it was not you?
39134You are engaged?
39134You are not going to say that in your newspaper?
39134You are sorry for me?
39134You are suspicious?
39134You are waiting for some one?
39134You are wondering if I suspect the Countess Perigoff?
39134You are... my father?
39134You came on a charity errand, then?
39134You could leave Miss Farlow''s on the moment?
39134You do n''t ask for mercy?
39134You do n''t,he said whimsically, when she finally stopped,"you do n''t, by any chance, know_ The Maiden''s Prayer_?"
39134You do not believe me?
39134You have captured them?
39134You have made a good impression on the girl?
39134You have thought of something?
39134You knew my mother?
39134You know where it is?
39134You mean, then, that there has been talk in St. Petersburg of disposing of some one?
39134You received a letter of that sort and did not show it to me?
39134You seem to possess authority?
39134You speak Russian?
39134You think so?
39134You will need me, then?
39134You wish really to injure her?
39134You wo n''t object to my smoking?
39134You would leave me?
39134You would rob my guests?
39134You''re not quite in favor of a reconciliation?
39134You... you wished to see me on some particular business?
39134You? 39134 Your master gives riding lessons?"
39134Your master left a will?
39134Your name is Jones?
39134A battle of wits?
39134A little hole in the ceiling, and who knows what might happen?"
39134A million?
39134A woman?
39134After the storm, the sunshine: and who shall deny them happiness?
39134Ah, Norton, how are you?"
39134Ah, girl, it does n''t do any good to talk to you, does it?"
39134Ah, when would she see that father of hers, so mysterious, always hovering near, always unseen?
39134Ai n''t we smelt''em so long that ye could stick yer nose in th''starboard light an''never smell no kerosene?
39134An''who''re you?"
39134And what are they doing here?"
39134And what has become of the man over the way?"
39134And would n''t they be surprised when she told them what she had accomplished all alone?
39134And, good heavens, Mr. Norton, where did you get those clothes?
39134Anything else, sir?"
39134Anything happened?"
39134Anything new on the Hargreave story?"
39134Anything on your mind?"
39134Are they after you again?"
39134Besides, do you know my face?"
39134Braine, who was Menshikoff in Russia, Schwartz in Germany, Mendoza in Spain, Cartucci in Italy, and Du Bois in France; so the rogue had found him out?
39134Braine?"
39134But almost instantly a voice said,"What is it?"
39134But do n''t you think we''d better go elsewhere?"
39134But do you want my opinion?
39134But from what direction and in what manner?
39134But has n''t it ever occurred to you that there might be a purpose back of this?
39134But he had to have a diving bell; and where the blue devil could he get one with twelve dollars and an Ingersoll watch in his pocket?
39134But how in the world did you guess it?"
39134But if anything happens to any of my personal friends--""Well?"
39134But what authority have you to engage me?"
39134But what is this trap?"
39134But what meant the pantomime and the subsequent hurry?
39134But what was he looking for, wondered the reporter?
39134But what will you live on?"
39134But where was he?
39134But you will tell Florence?"
39134By the way, did you find out what that letter said?"
39134By the way, may I ask you a few questions?
39134CHAPTER VI"Did you get the range?"
39134Ca n''t I go somewhere, some place where I can have rest?"
39134Ca n''t they find good enough things out of doors?
39134Ca n''t you feel the truth of all this?"
39134Ca n''t you see?"
39134Can you find your way back all right?"
39134Can you handle this alone, Norton?
39134Complimentary?"
39134Could an author have a better purpose than this?
39134Could anybody be in deeper than he was?
39134Could he look to this government for protection?
39134Could they bend her?
39134Could you make up anything like this girl?"
39134Deep?
39134Did he really care for her or was she only the cats- paw to pluck his hot chestnuts from the fire?
39134Did he recognize you?"
39134Did he take that million or did he hide it?
39134Did she say what train?"
39134Did you enjoy the ride?"
39134Did you find her and rescue her?
39134Did you hear any autos outside?"
39134Did you tell this to the other chaps?"
39134Do n''t we know whut onions is?
39134Do you know where Hargreave is?"
39134Do you mean all that?"
39134Do you see that hut yonder, near the fork in the road?
39134Do you think Hargreave took him into his confidence?"
39134Do you think you can follow it?"
39134Do you think you could get her to go?"
39134Do you understand me?"
39134Do you wish him to die?"
39134Do yuh think I''d be fool enough t''hunt for it without a perfect range?"
39134Eh?
39134Eh?"
39134For what had she left the peace and quiet of Miss Farlow''s; assassination, robbery, thieves and kidnapers?
39134From what direction would the blow come?
39134From whence was the danger to come this time?
39134Give his enemies a chance to learn his secret?
39134Give you a million, knowing you all to be a pack of liars?
39134Had he carried Florence off?
39134Had she ever seen the man before?
39134Had she played a trick?
39134Had that fainting spell been buncombe for his benefit as well as Florence''s?
39134Hargreave had a child?
39134Hargreave?"
39134Has it ever occurred to you that the organization may be getting tired, too?
39134Have I not written books on that subject?"
39134Have a cigar?"
39134Have n''t I been through enough to make me a woman?
39134Have they changed them?"
39134Have you been trying to do any charitable work among the poorer classes?"
39134Have you had lunch?
39134Have you wired Jones?"
39134Hold him where he is, you say?
39134How about the child he never sought but guarded?
39134How about these people, the owners?"
39134How could any one so beautiful be so wicked?
39134How could she wait till to- morrow night at eight?
39134How far is it?"
39134How had they done it?
39134How had they succeeded in doing it?
39134How long d''y''think forty dollars''ll last in New York, anyhow?"
39134How long would this strange combat last?
39134How many days will you give us?"
39134How many times had she entered it, with guile and treachery in her heart?
39134How the deuce did you chance to get one?"
39134How was he to know that this was a comedy set especially for his benefit?
39134How, in God''s name, had she escaped from them who never let anybody escape?
39134How, when, where?
39134Huh?"
39134I may be wrong, but take my advice and throw them away.... Good lord, what''s that?"
39134I wonder how old he is?"
39134I wonder what''s doing?
39134If Hargreave is alive, why does n''t he turn up now that it''s practically known that his daughter presides over his household?
39134Is Florence there?"
39134Is it any o''your business?
39134Is my father alive?"
39134Is not Mr. Braine a remarkable man?"
39134Is she alone?"
39134Is there a deserted farmhouse hereabouts?"
39134It''s a small world, is n''t it?"
39134Leo, was Hargreave the man''s real name?"
39134Let my brain go into the wastebasket for the sake of an hour or so of exhilaration?
39134Life?
39134Might it not be a means of holding them on the leash?
39134Might it not be of inestimable value that your father''s enemies should be left in doubt?
39134More folks from the wreck?"
39134No police affair?"
39134No?
39134Norton, you knew who I was all the time, did n''t you?"
39134Norton?"
39134Norton?"
39134Norton?"
39134Not going to interview me, are you?"
39134Now what do you want me to do?"
39134Now, d''know what a cook''s galley is?"
39134Now, for heaven''s sake, how did you get into this?
39134Now, how will it be easier than I think?"
39134Now, what''s your scheme?"
39134Now, where is your father?"
39134Obstacles?
39134Olga had n''t killed the man, then?
39134Olga, does any one watch me come and go any more?"
39134Or to follow him should he leave the house?
39134Queer old codger, eh?"
39134Remember the story of the boy and the cat?"
39134Said Jones as he put the document back in his pocket:"What is your name?"
39134Say, Jones, how much do you think I''d earn at this job?"
39134See him hiking toward the water front?"
39134See somethin''white bobbin''up?"
39134See this painting?"
39134See''er, jes''like the banker''s wife goin''t''church on Sunday?
39134Set the wind in that quarter?
39134Shall I come up at once and have you tell me the whole amazing story?"
39134Shall I get you something to read?
39134Shall I send for him?"
39134Shall I tell her to call you when she returns?"
39134Shall I tell him you will come immediately?"
39134Shanghaied?
39134She does not know her father''s handwriting?"
39134She had not killed the man she loved, then?
39134So Florence Hargreave was going to have a new father in a day or so?
39134So that''s the game?"
39134So the reporter had found her, and she was safe and sound on her way to New York?
39134So they had found him?
39134So they had got her?
39134So they had sent some one to learn the effect of the poison?
39134So this was the end of things?
39134Some day he''ll see it again, ask questions, and then...""Then what?"
39134Steal it?
39134Supposing after all it was only a resemblance, that the child was not Hargreave''s, a substitute just to blind the Black Hundred?
39134Supposing some fool should go rummaging about his bunk and discover the box?
39134Tell me, where have you been?
39134That is what I want you to find out?"
39134That night there was a meeting of the organization Jones engaged a motorboat"Leo, are you using any drugs these days?"
39134The door began to close ever so slowly"Do you know where I can find her?"
39134The first?
39134The peculiar thing about this was that Norton was entertaining the same thought at the same time: what earthly chance had he?
39134The question is, has he fooled us?
39134The question is, how to get her away from her companion?"
39134The whole thing rested upon one difficulty; would Jones permit the girls to leave the house?
39134Then what?"
39134They could wait till their enemy''s vigilance slacked and then would strike?
39134This doctor, who seemed kindly and benevolent, who had prescribed for Susan and benefited her, why should she doubt him?
39134To Florence it seemed almost impossible that they did not hear the thunder of her heart?
39134To keep them away from the true daughter?
39134To what particular police station shall I head this omnibus?"
39134Was he a fool or was he deep, playing a game as shrewd as her own?
39134Was it for her?
39134Was it that she really craved the stone?
39134Was the child spinning a romance over the first young man she had ever met?
39134Were these men of the countess''party?
39134Were they going to take her to sea again?
39134Whadda y''mean counterfeiting?"
39134What Correggio, what Rubens, what Titian, could stand beside it?
39134What about her?"
39134What about?"
39134What are they asking you to do?"
39134What are you going to do with me?"
39134What are you going to do?"
39134What are your plans?"
39134What are your plans?"
39134What can I do for you?"
39134What chance had he of marrying this girl with millions within reach of her hand?
39134What child would refuse to obey a summons like this?
39134What devilment do you require of me this time?"
39134What did I tell you?
39134What did he really know?
39134What did they ask you to do?"
39134What did they call them?--doubloons and pieces- of- eight?
39134What difference did it make?
39134What do you mean by keeping this fact from me?"
39134What do you suppose that signifies?"
39134What do you want me to do?"
39134What had happened?
39134What had possessed her to start reading that old tale again?
39134What had they said to her, done to her?
39134What has happened?"
39134What has happened?"
39134What have they done to you, my child, to make you suspicious of every one?
39134What have you been up to?"
39134What have you to prove that he may not wish to marry you for your money?"
39134What if I have a grouch?
39134What if he was her father''s butler?
39134What in the world could that mean?
39134What in the world should she do?
39134What is that to you?"
39134What is the matter?
39134What is wanted?"
39134What kind of a joy ride do you want?"
39134What letter?"
39134What makes you think I am English?"
39134What matter?
39134What now?
39134What should she do?
39134What th''tarnation we goin''to do?
39134What the deuce can that mean?"
39134What the devil am I going to do?"
39134What the devil is his idea?"
39134What was a chap to do when a pretty girl appealed to him?
39134What was it?
39134What was the meaning of this desertion by the servants?
39134What was the meaning of this slow rise and fall of his bed?
39134What was the number of that car?"
39134What was the reason for Jones carrying that box out in broad daylight?
39134What was your thought?"
39134What were they after?"
39134What''s brought you here?
39134What''s come over me?"
39134What''s drama coming to, anyhow?
39134What''s it about?"
39134What''s that?"
39134What''s the young girl look like?"
39134What''s this Black Hundred?"
39134Whatever shall I do?"
39134When shall I start?"
39134Where are we bound?"
39134Where did you suppose she would be, after that botchwork of letting me go to do one thing while you had in mind another?
39134Where did your master put that money?"
39134Where had he heard this voice before?
39134Where have I had the honor of meeting you before?"
39134Where have you been?
39134Where is she?"
39134Where is the countess in this?"
39134Where is the man with the five thousand, picked up at sea?
39134Where is your father?"
39134Where was Jones?
39134Where was Vroon?
39134Where was all this tangle going to end?
39134Where was that maid?
39134Where were you?
39134Where''d yuh git a box like that?
39134Where''d yuh git this grouch?
39134Where''s Ford?
39134Where''s the arnica?"
39134Where''s the girl?"
39134Which among them was his, heart of his heart, blood of his blood?
39134Which way do I go?"
39134Who are they?
39134Who could it be, at this time of night?
39134Who is he and what is he?"
39134Who is it?
39134Who is it?"
39134Who is the chap watching across the street?
39134Who knows?
39134Who was that young lady riding this morning with your master?"
39134Who was this?
39134Whut''s th''matter with yuh, anyhow?
39134Whut''ve we done t''yuh?
39134Why could n''t he steal into the house and see me, just once?"
39134Why could not she remember?
39134Why did he not come?
39134Why did he not return as he had promised?
39134Why did n''t you bring the box to me?
39134Why did you drug my coffee the night of that ball?"
39134Why do n''t you pack up and clear out for a while?"
39134Why had n''t he been invited?
39134Why must her poor head ache so when she tried to pierce the wall of darkness which surrounded her mentally?
39134Why not insert a personal in the_ Herald_?"
39134Why should I bother to deny it?
39134Why should he?
39134Why should n''t she like him?
39134Why should she entertain any suspicion?
39134Why should you?"
39134Why worry?"
39134Why?
39134Why?"
39134Why?"
39134Will that be all right?"
39134Will you be in the office to- night?"
39134Will you be so good as to accompany me?"
39134Will you be so good as to glance at this?"
39134Will you never learn to keep outside this muddle?
39134Will you tell me if you are in direct communication with my father?"
39134Will you walk straight, or will you leave?"
39134Would Susan have mentality enough to tell Jones where the taxicab had stopped?
39134Would they break her?
39134Would you like to hear it?"
39134You are sure of the location?"
39134You ca n''t work the ceiling this time?
39134You do n''t think they''ll question or recognize me?"
39134You have news of Florence?"
39134You have no objections to my seeing her?
39134You lemme by; hear me?"
39134You never know where you''re at in this world, do you?"
39134You really think he''s watching me?"
39134You say they are in love?"
39134You will come?"
39134You''re in no hurry, are you?"
39134You''ve been working out their new quarters?
39134You''ve heard of Wyant& Co.?"
39134You?
39134[ Illustration: INSTANTLY THEY SOUGHT THE FALLEN MAN''S SIDE] But what to do with that mad woman up- stairs?
39134[ Illustration: THERE WAS A STORMY SCENE BETWEEN BRAINE AND THE PRINCESS]"Are you in your dotage?"
39134[ Illustration:"FLORENCE, THAT IS ALL YOURS"]"For me?"
39134[ Illustration:"LEO, ARE YOU USING ANY DRUGS THESE DAYS?"]
39134[ Illustration:"WHO IS IT?"
39134dead?"
39134demanded the frantic lover,"what has happened?"
39134exclaimed the countess;"do you mean to say that these men are not real detectives?"
45658A murder?
45658A red stain-- blood? 45658 A tall old man, with a hooked nose and white beard?"
45658About this comb?
45658About this murder?
45658All the time you were there? 45658 And I suppose he was very indignant with her?"
45658And did Frank deliver Collingwood''s letter to the girl?
45658And did you dig there?
45658And do you-- do you know anything about it?
45658And he told you that he had slammed the hall door when he left? 45658 And how do you make that out?"
45658And how does that fit in with your theory that the murderer broke into the house?
45658And it disappeared after Mr. Marsland left the farm to go to the police station?
45658And it was to this man you recommended young Lumsden to go for a book on cryptograms?
45658And it was you and not he who was in the house when Mrs. Penfield called out that the police were in the house?
45658And nothing wrong?
45658And now can you tell me anything about an old boatman who wears a scarlet coat?
45658And since when have you begun to place implicit faith in anonymous letters, my dear Gillett?
45658And so she asked Marsland to say nothing about her presence at the farm?
45658And the murderer, leaving the house after Marsland had gone, found this plan on the table and took it?
45658And there was no one but my friend in the car?
45658And this anonymous communication fits in with other information in your possession-- other information that you have received from Miss Maynard?
45658And this man, Tom Jauncey, who was shot in the arm, was n''t he one of the party?
45658And this would be less than an hour after you saw him pass the first time?
45658And was there anyone with my friend-- or was he alone in the car?
45658And what about those marks we saw on the staircase? 45658 And what are you going to do about her statement?"
45658And what did you do?
45658And what did you get from them?
45658And what is that you wanted?
45658And what is the latest news about that?
45658And what is the solution?
45658And what was the thing that Marsland kept back?
45658And where is this man with the scarlet cloak to be found when he is not on the front?
45658And whom did you see first?
45658And whom do you suspect?
45658And you have no interest in helping me to restore this hat to its owner?
45658And you think he will come back here for the rest?
45658And you think that there may be some connection between her visit there and these things?
45658And you?
45658And your theory is that Marsland is the murderer?
45658Any foot- marks outside the window?
45658Any sinister motive?
45658Are we to keep the object of our journey a secret from Lady Granville when we return?
45658Are you sure?
45658Arnold, what is the matter?
45658As between you and me why should n''t there be candour?
45658Average height?
45658Because of the crash we heard?
45658Brett?
45658But I say, Crewe, do you think we are on the right track? 45658 But are we to find him guilty merely because he chooses to keep silence on certain points?"
45658But can not you get it from your informant-- from the person who is your authority for the story?
45658But did Brett know they were there?
45658But how can we get the police to arrest him unless you first tell them all you know?
45658But how did he get a copy of the cryptogram? 45658 But in that case how did it come on the staircase?"
45658But surely, Gillett, you do n''t think this young gentleman had anything to do with the murder?
45658But the motive?
45658But what about Westaway''s theory that he was in the house when Mr. Marsland came here?
45658But what about my young friend Marsland? 45658 But what evidence can I produce to show that I know they know all about Miss Maynard''s presence at the farm?
45658But what makes you think he has a boat? 45658 But where are they hidden?"
45658But who warned her?
45658But why are you here?
45658But why did n''t she come to the police station that night and make her own statement?
45658But why is it necessary to prove that?
45658But why quarrel about dividing the money before the money was found? 45658 But why was the window forced if the man was inside?"
45658But you saw some one?
45658But, apart from what you have told me, have you any reason for suspecting that Mr. Marsland had anything to do with the murder of Frank Lumsden?
45658By geometry?
45658By whom?
45658By whom?
45658Ca n''t you get it?
45658Can we pick up your nephew? 45658 Can you make anything of the figures and letters on the paper?"
45658Can you suggest any motive?
45658Can you tell us anything she is keeping back?
45658Coming back again?
45658Dead?
45658Did Mr. Brett leave by train?
45658Did Mr. Crewe express any opinion as to who-- who had warned Miss Maynard to take to flight?
45658Did he admit that it was his?
45658Did he know Frank? 45658 Did he make such inquiries there?"
45658Did he tell you I was there?
45658Did he write to you?
45658Did n''t anyone call out and ask you what you were doing there?
45658Did n''t she tell you?
45658Did you believe him?
45658Did you close the front door when we left?
45658Did you fire a revolver?
45658Did you hear the shot?
45658Did you notice when you lit the lamp whether the lamp chimney was hot, warm, or quite cold?
45658Did you see who fired it at you?
45658Did you take a spade with you?
45658Do n''t you wish to know why I wanted to kill him?
45658Do they know whom it belongs to?
45658Do tramps in this country carry revolvers?
45658Do you believe him now?
45658Do you believe it?
45658Do you believe me?
45658Do you deny that?
45658Do you expect him in the course of the next few days?
45658Do you feel inclined for a game of chess?
45658Do you intend to make a charge against me?
45658Do you know all?
45658Do you know her?
45658Do you mean that he was the burglar at whom you fired a week ago?
45658Do you mean that some one fired at you from the house?
45658Do you mean the famous London detective?
45658Do you mean to tell me you''ve let the girl slip out of your hands? 45658 Do you mind, Sir George?"
45658Do you think any one in Ashlingsea could identify it as yours?
45658Do you think he has escaped death; do you think he has got away?
45658Do you think he will solve this one?
45658Do you think it is safe to leave him alone?
45658Do you think it-- wise?
45658Do you think that I had anything to do with this dreadful murder? 45658 Do you think that had anything to do with the hidden money?"
45658Do you think that he would not take steps to bring his death and Lumsden''s death home to you in the event of his being shot down? 45658 Do you think that she fired the shot; that she and Brett are both in it?"
45658Do you think that this one will prove very difficult?
45658Do you think that young Lumsden found it and refused to pay the legacies, or that it has never been found?
45658Do you think the murderer was in the house while we were there?
45658Do you think there is anything wrong with him? 45658 Do you think this was meant to show where the old grandfather had his money?"
45658Do you want to buy it?
45658Do you want to see this?
45658Does Mr. Crewe know that I was at Cliff Farm that night?
45658Does Mr. Marsland know that you have come here to- day with the intention of making a statement?
45658Does Mr. Miller live here?
45658Does he know you, Arnold?
45658Does he live in the district?
45658Does he wear glasses-- gold- rimmed eye- glasses?
45658Does n''t she know what is in the paper?
45658Does n''t the fact that he wore hobnailed boots indicate that he is a labouring man?
45658Does this dwarf hold spiritualistic sà © ances?
45658Doubtful about it?
45658Driving back in the direction of Staveley?
45658Eh-- yes?
45658Find any difference in them?
45658Friday afternoon?
45658Gruesome?
45658Had he any enemies?
45658Had n''t we better hide?
45658Has he any friends here, or does he live alone?
45658Has n''t he told the police?
45658Have they no clue of any kind?
45658Have you a copy of a book called_ Notitià ¦ Monastica_?
45658Have you a light?
45658Have you any idea who it is?
45658Have you been out in it?
45658Have you ever considered, Gillett, the possibility of her having been the principal?
45658Have you found out anything about it?
45658Have you had it any length of time?
45658Have you possession of the hat now?
45658Have you reached any conclusions yet, Crewe?
45658How are you, Westaway?
45658How could she have got it? 45658 How did they get there?"
45658How did you find out that?
45658How did you fix it?
45658How did you happen to be lying down with a revolver beside you?
45658How do you come to know about it?
45658How do you know all this?
45658How do you know he had a car?
45658How does he come into it?
45658How far away is his farm?
45658How have you managed that?
45658How long do cryptograms-- the more scientific, I mean-- usually take to solve?
45658How long have you known that I did it?
45658How long will it take to get the well emptied, Westaway?
45658How long will these inquiries take?
45658How much longer will you be emptying it?
45658How old is he?
45658How on earth could you expect to tell that?
45658How was I to stop her?
45658How was he killed-- did your nephew say?
45658How will they find that out?
45658How?
45658How?
45658I called out''Is there anybody in?'' 45658 I say, Crewe, did you ever see such an odd fish on an English foreshore?"
45658I suppose I''ll see you again during the day?
45658I suppose she did n''t want to part with it?
45658I suppose the texts on the bottom of the sheet suggested that idea to you?
45658I suppose you judge the sheet to have been taken from an old book, because it is yellow with age, but why an expensive one of the fifties? 45658 I think it was somewhere about here, Crewe?
45658I think you said he had been wounded and captured by the Germans?
45658I think you told me that there was no light in the house when you entered?
45658I understand that you are looking for apartments?
45658I wonder who has put him on to this?
45658I''d like to meet him,said the detective;"Where is he to be found?"
45658If I wanted to get you out of the house, Mrs. Penfield, why should I follow you?
45658If Marsland did n''t kill him, who did?
45658If he had possession of the key in order to get the body into the house in the way you state, Mr. Crewe, why did he break into the house? 45658 In a grey car?"
45658In the Cliff Farm case?
45658In what respect?
45658Inquiries?
45658Inspector Murchison?
45658Is he in now?
45658Is it?
45658Is n''t the fact that he went to the trouble of washing out blood- stains on the stairs evidence that he was not in a hurry?
45658Is she Mr. Brett''s fiancà © e?
45658Is that so?
45658Is the body upstairs now?
45658It was found on the floor?
45658May not that plan have been taken from his pocket- book after he was dead?
45658Me?
45658Missed whom?
45658Mr. Grange, I believe?
45658My God, you do n''t mean Captain Marsland? 45658 My dear Gillett, have you forgotten that the bullet which killed Lumsden took an upward course after entering the body?
45658My dear Marsland, may he not have worn boots of that kind for the same reason that he walked backwards-- to mislead us all?
45658Not Mr. Crewe of-- of London?
45658Not Mr. Crewe, the-- famous detective?
45658Not seen or heard of him?
45658Not yours?
45658Of course, he knows that it was Miss Maynard who tried to direct our suspicions to him?
45658Oh, is n''t it?
45658Oh, you saw her there?
45658On what day did he go away?
45658One of the servants who was left a legacy in the old man''s will?
45658Perhaps you would like to look at Mr. Brett''s rooms?
45658She did n''t know that Mr. Brett had gone away?
45658She told you why she was waiting at the farm on the night that Lumsden''s dead body was brought there?
45658Six o''clock? 45658 So he was in Staveley on Saturday morning?"
45658So, you know about her?
45658Surely she explained to you the nature of her relations with Brett?
45658Suspect?
45658That is how your son looks at it, is it? 45658 That is the little fishing village at the end of the cliff road, is it not?"
45658That it was he who left the key in the door?
45658The dwarf woman at Staveley?
45658The second time?
45658Then I suppose there is no doubt that he will find out who killed Frank Lumsden?
45658Then it is Brett who has taken this money and is carrying it down the cliff to the boat?
45658Then it was the cherry- tree that deflected it?
45658Then whom do you suspect?
45658Then you saw a grey car go past in the direction of Ashlingsea on Friday afternoon?
45658This girl,pursued Inspector Murchison,"she is of fairly good position, is she not?"
45658To ask me?
45658To whom?
45658To wipe out the traces of those boots?
45658Upstairs?
45658Was it Thursday or Friday that I met him on the Ashlingsea road in this car?
45658Was it at Armentières this happened?
45658Was it like this?
45658Was n''t it he who put the idea into your head, after you had left the house, that the murderer might have been upstairs all the time?
45658Was she there?
45658Was that Mr. Crewe who was with you this morning?
45658Was the window open when you came in? 45658 Was this the room in which you found the lamp that you took upstairs?"
45658Well, what do you think were the original marks on the stairs that the intruder was so anxious to remove?
45658Were you badly hurt, dear?
45658What about the crash Mr. Marsland heard when the picture fell down? 45658 What about the girl?"
45658What about the piece of paper with the mysterious plan on it which we found on the staircase?
45658What about the second S-- the final letter? 45658 What are you trying to do?"
45658What can I do for you, gentlemen?
45658What can this extraordinary thing mean?
45658What did he want at Grange''s shop?
45658What did you do with the key?
45658What do you make of it? 45658 What do you mean by giving us a murder when we''ve got our hands full?
45658What do you mean?
45658What does that mean?
45658What does this mean?
45658What evidence have you of that?
45658What explanation did he give of his visit?
45658What for? 45658 What for?"
45658What has he done?
45658What have we here?
45658What is he like?
45658What is her name?
45658What is his name?
45658What is his object in keeping silence? 45658 What is it?"
45658What is it?
45658What is this?
45658What is wrong with your arm?
45658What is your opinion, inspector, with regard to the money?
45658What makes you so certain of that?
45658What makes you suspect Marsland? 45658 What makes you think it was Brett?"
45658What makes you think so? 45658 What noise, sergeant?"
45658What sort of a comb?
45658What sort of a man was this Lumsden?
45658What sort of man was Brett to look at?
45658What sort of young man is he? 45658 What time did you leave?"
45658What was his object in breaking into the house?
45658What was it that Frank told you about him? 45658 What was she doing there?"
45658What was that for?
45658What was that?
45658What was the cryptogram like?
45658What was the nature of her appointment at Cliff Farm with Brett? 45658 What was the plan like?
45658What was your object in making a false statement to the police?
45658What were you doing there? 45658 What would I want to do that for?"
45658When did Marsland make this discovery?
45658When do you expect him back?
45658When do you expect him in?
45658When will he return?
45658When will she return?
45658When you get Brett?
45658Where did you find them?
45658Where did you find this one? 45658 Where did you hear it?"
45658Where did you learn this, Miss Maynard?
45658Where have you been?
45658Where have you been?
45658Where is she now?
45658Where is she?
45658Where is the money hidden?
45658Where shall we hide?
45658Where was it?
45658Where?
45658Whereabouts in the garden? 45658 Whereabouts were you?"
45658Which is Crewe and which is Marsland?
45658Who are you to say it is impossible? 45658 Who can it be?"
45658Who could have warned her?
45658Who has brought him into it?
45658Who is Brett?
45658Who is this Marsland?
45658Who was the man that Marsland sent out on a mission of death with Lumsden?
45658Who was this man?
45658Who was to be there?
45658Who would place them there?
45658Whom do the police suspect?
45658Why all this delay?
45658Why did n''t Master Frank sell the farm and pay his grandfather''s debts according to what the will said? 45658 Why did the person wearing those boots walk on the uncarpeted part of the stairs near the wall instead of the carpeted part?"
45658Why did this man get out of the window and walk backwards? 45658 Why did you alarm him?"
45658Why not?
45658Why not?
45658Why not?
45658Why should I? 45658 Why was that?"
45658Why?
45658Will you come back to Staveley and tell Inspector Murchison?
45658Will you plead for me?
45658Will you tell me where you live? 45658 With what?"
45658With whom?
45658Would you like to look at Mr. Brett''s bedroom?
45658Would you please read through this and sign it?
45658Yes; but how are they to discover that I was there unless you tell them?
45658You admit that your statement is false?
45658You are convinced that Brett was the murderer?
45658You believe that no jury would convict you?
45658You do n''t pretend that they belong to Marsland?
45658You do n''t really expect us to regard the swerving of the horse as proof there was a motor- car there?
45658You do not think she went there to shelter from the storm?
45658You have formed your theory of how this tragedy occurred?
45658You lit the lamp before you heard the crash which startled you?
45658You mean he has been murdered?
45658You meant to dig for the money?
45658You prefer crime investigation to chess?
45658You sat in this room before going upstairs, Marsland?
45658You saw no trace of anyone having been there?
45658You think he has cleared out?
45658You think he shot Frank? 45658 You think it adds to the mystery?"
45658You think it is about this murder?
45658You think it was Brett?
45658You think that I had just cause for shooting him?
45658You were there when he was shot?
45658You will confront Marsland with it?
45658You will keep my name out of it?
45658Your meeting with him was accidental?
45658----?"
45658Again, how do you know the writing is of a much later date than the book?
45658And how do you know it was cut out with a pair of scissors?
45658And how does Mr. Marsland know it had anything to do with the missing money?"
45658And was there no one at the house when you got there?"
45658And what does her husband do?
45658And where would he hide it?
45658And why did he insert the first S again, as represented by the figure 6, instead of taking the next S in this table?
45658Are n''t you?"
45658Are you her?"
45658As it came into view Crewe exclaimed to his companion:"Did you see that?"
45658Bond-- the woman who went there to tidy up the place once a week-- you say it was gold mounted?"
45658But I do n''t suppose you mind doing that?"
45658But I hope you do n''t think Pedro had anything to do with the Cliff Farm murder, Mr. Crewe?
45658But have you considered what the effect would be if the police subsequently discovered that you had been there?
45658But how can I go to them and tell them I was here after I begged Mr. Marsland to say nothing about me?
45658But if the police searched all over England could they have found a jury who would convict me if I saw fit to tell my story in the dock?
45658But why did Brett disappear, and why did he take the body to the farm and endeavour to manufacture misleading clues?"
45658CHAPTER X"WILL you come to some place where we can have a talk?"
45658CHAPTER XXVI"AM I the first man to whom you have told this story?"
45658Could he have got possession of the copy I found on the stairs?"
45658Crewe?"
45658Crewe?"
45658Crewe?"
45658Crewe?"
45658Crewe?"
45658Did n''t I tell you there was lights in the house when I got there?"
45658Did you arrive at the house before Marsland or after him?"
45658Did you close it?"
45658Did you go to the farm that night?
45658Did you see him?"
45658Did you tell her that you had lost your glasses that night?"
45658Do n''t you know that the garden has been turned over several times?"
45658Do the police suspect me?
45658Do you mean wide open or partly closed?"
45658Do you not call that a recurring letter?"
45658Do you propose to take the texts word for word, testing each with the table, till you find the right one?"
45658Do you think he knew Frank when he saw his dead body in the room?"
45658Do you think that is the reason I asked you to keep my name out of it?"
45658Do you think the young lady is telling the whole truth here?"
45658Do you think you could help me to find him?"
45658Do you think you could manage it?"
45658Finally he remarked in a tone which suggested he was unable to control his impatience any longer:"Well, what do you make of it?"
45658Has he got away with it?"
45658Have n''t we, Westaway?"
45658Have they a warrant out for me?
45658How did he impress you?"
45658How did she get to know that the game was up?
45658How did you get this?"
45658How do we apply this keyword to the table?"
45658How do you arrive at that conclusion?
45658How far along is it, Mr. Crewe, to where the countryman you talked to saw him pass?"
45658How in that case could it strike downward and wound a man on the ground ten or twelve feet below the windows on the first story?"
45658How old is he?"
45658I wonder who it could be?"
45658If I gave you this thing I have found to hold, you could describe the owner to me, could you not?"
45658If a man deserves death, if he knows himself that he deserves it a hundredfold, why waste time in proving it to others?
45658If it was n''t for you we should n''t have got on the right track so soon, should we, sergeant?"
45658If no one accompanied her, how was it that on opening the door to him she had greeted him as some one whom she had been expecting?
45658In the meantime will you write down his address for me?"
45658Is Mr. Crewe in?
45658Is he grateful?
45658Is n''t there something about those texts that strikes you as peculiar?"
45658Is not that correct?"
45658Is that Sir George Granville''s?
45658Is that not so, Westaway?"
45658Is that the conduct of an innocent man?"
45658Is that you, Mr. Crewe?
45658Is the road good?"
45658It ai n''t reasonable to expect it, is it, sir?"
45658It was about here we saw the hoof marks, was n''t it?"
45658It was because her belief in his innocence deepened the mystery of his reason for hiding that she repeated:"But why are you here?"
45658It was on Friday night that Mr. Lumsden was killed, was it not?"
45658K, C, O, L, is a queer start for a word is n''t it?
45658Marsland?"
45658Marsland?"
45658Marsland?"
45658N in the first column, M across, and the top gives you?"
45658Now, why does he have two S''s when he carefully avoids recurring letters in the rest of the table?
45658Oh, what shall we do?"
45658Oh, you have?
45658On her way to the door she turned round and said in a pleading voice:"You''ll do the best you can to get him back, wo n''t you, sir?"
45658Perhaps you are in love with him?"
45658Perhaps you know him?"
45658Perhaps your wife would grant me the favour of an interview?
45658Rather a fine looking man, do n''t you think?"
45658She added with a slight laugh:"You can not call his action in feeling for a missing pair of glasses suspicious?"
45658Surely, Mr. Crewe, you are not going to say that you believe Brett had nothing to do with the murder-- that he is an innocent man?"
45658Was n''t it lying on the floor when you came in?"
45658Was the burglar a phantom of a sick mind?
45658What about motoring over in the morning?"
45658What about the plan of the hidden money that disappeared after Mr. Marsland left?"
45658What can I do for you?"
45658What can I do for you?"
45658What do you know about it or about him?
45658What do you say, Gillett?"
45658What do you say, Gillett?"
45658What do you say, Westaway?"
45658What do you say, Westaway?"
45658What do you think of it?"
45658What does the top of the column give you?"
45658What evidence is there that this man and his wife were anywhere in the neighbourhood of the place?"
45658What has he been driving up and down for-- backwards and forwards?
45658What is his object in putting obstacles in our way?
45658What letter have you?"
45658What put you on my track?"
45658What was Marsland doing when he went outside the house and left the key in the door so as to let himself in again?
45658What was he doing while he was outside?
45658What was his object in making a false statement?
45658What were you doing there in the first place?
45658What''s that you say?
45658When did you get there?"
45658When do you expect him back?"
45658When he comes back, will you please tell him I called?"
45658Where is she?"
45658Where shall we go?"
45658Who else could it have been?
45658Why did n''t you wake me?"
45658Why did you go there?"
45658Why do you ask?"
45658Why do you feel sure he has come by sea?"
45658Why does n''t he speak to us?"
45658Why not meet him at Ashlingsea or at Staveley?"
45658Why should he commit such a crime?"
45658Why should he kill him?"
45658Why the blazes did n''t you stop her from going?"
45658Why?
45658Will you stay here until I return?"
45658With the spectacles on his small grey eyes he peered at Crewe, and said:"What can I do for you, sir?"
45658Would n''t it have been better for him to hide the body in a field or a ditch?
45658You did n''t see him close it?"
45658You know her, sergeant, of course?"
45658You''ve said nothing to anybody, Westaway, about the conversation that took place last night at Sir George Granville''s house?"
5151A hound? 5151 A note?"
5151And do n''t butt in-- see?
5151And the pain?
5151And they''re gone?
5151And you really were-- put out by a kiss?
5151And you remember to whom you married me?
5151And you say they have no recollection of anything that happens?
5151And you think this Clutching Hand has never recovered the incriminating papers that caused him to murder your father?
5151And you-- you say-- you married this-- this woman to Taylor Dodge?
5151And, oh, do you know, the strangest thing happened yesterday? 5151 Another watch?"
5151Are there any operations going on now?
5151Are you all right?
5151Are you all right?
5151Are you hurt?
5151Are you sure?
5151Are you-- all right?
5151Are-- you willing-- to have your blood transfused?
5151Back?
5151But do you think that is all right? 5151 But suppose the door has no transom?"
5151But why did it work so effectively?
5151Ca n''t we drive you around?
5151Ca n''t we go on the ship, too?
5151Can I find a bloodhound about here?
5151Can you go with me now?
5151Care for it?
5151Chief,he whispered eagerly,"You know Adventuress Mary?
5151Did a car pass here, just now-- a big car?
5151Did you notice the number of the car?
5151Did you-- did you-- really-- love him?
5151Do it? 5151 Do n''t you know better than to try to help anybody without INVESTIGATING?"
5151Do n''t you understand?
5151Do n''t you understand?
5151Do you know why the servant allowed us to leave the apartment?
5151Do you realize how little you can really see through a key hole?
5151Do you see anything, Walter?
5151Do you see that table-- and all those papers? 5151 Do you?
5151Do?
5151Doctor,he asked slowly as he worked,"do you know of Professor Leduc of the Nantes Ecole de Medicin?"
5151Ever hear of Dr. Edward Reichert of the University of Pennsylvania and his wonderful discoveries of how blood crystals vary in different species?
5151Everything progressing favorably?
5151Give up the chase for the Clutching Hand?
5151Got what?
5151Has the watch purchased for Miss Elaine Dodge been delivered?
5151Have you read them?
5151Have you read them?
5151Have you the money there?
5151Have you the record?
5151Have you-- found anything?
5151Hey, you fellows-- what are you doing there?
5151How about Mary Carson?
5151How about those bracelet watches?
5151How are you this afternoon?
5151How can you tell anything by that?''
5151How did it happen?
5151How did it happen?
5151How do you do?
5151How do you know?
5151How do you propose to help me to escape?
5151How does it work?
5151How long has he known?
5151How''s that?
5151How''s the patient?
5151How?
5151How?
5151I know,I said somewhat nettled,"but what can you see through that putty blower?
5151I may write here?
5151I wonder whether I locked these windows?
5151I''ve rigged it so that you''ll reach him through Jameson, understand?
5151If it is really a bomb,I remarked,"why not put the thing out of commission?"
5151Indeed?
5151Is Jennings there?
5151Is he all right?
5151Is he in New York?
5151Is he sick, too?
5151Is it all right?
5151Is n''t it a beauty?
5151Is n''t it stunning?
5151Is n''t that fine? 5151 Is she-- going to-- die?"
5151Is that so?
5151Is that what you intend to do with me?
5151Is that you, Craig?
5151Is that you, Craig?
5151Is that you?
5151Is there anything I can do?
5151Is there nothing that can save him?
5151Is this it?
5151Is-- is there no other way but to surrender?
5151Lady,he disguised his voice,"will yer please ter call off the dog?
5151May I take Rusty along with me?
5151May I use your telephone?
5151Might I-- er-- see your room, Miss Dodge?
5151Miss Dodge, will you arrange that spark and throttle?
5151Miss Dodge,he added,"will you and the rest excuse me if I ask you to wait just a moment longer?"
5151Miss Dodge,he asked,"might I-- might I trouble you to let me see your arm?"
5151Miss Sears,he asked of one of the nurses,"will you bring me that hypodermic needle?
5151Miss Sears,he asked rather testily,"what have you done with the hypodermic and the scopolamine?"
5151Moisture-- cold?
5151Mr. Bennett,she exclaimed over the wire,"just guess who called on me?"
5151Mr. Jameson, please-- can''t I go with you?
5151Mr. Kennedy live here?
5151My gracious,cried Aunt Josephine, in alarm,"where will this thing end?"
5151No-- shall I?
5151No-- why?
5151Now, do you see what I have just thought of-- no? 5151 Oh, Mr. Kennedy, how can I ever thank you?"
5151Oh, why did I send him away? 5151 Patient?"
5151Remember you?
5151Say, bo,he asked of the rough fellow,"what does Clutching Hand want with her?
5151Say,blurted out the informer,"do you know Kennedy and Jameson are back?"
5151See that old boiler down there at the edge of the water? 5151 See that?"
5151See?
5151So that strikes your fancy?
5151Some new fandangled periscope arrangement, I suppose?
5151Tell me,Elaine cried,"Is there-- can there be anything in it?
5151That was n''t that way when we left, was it, Walter?
5151That? 5151 The motive?"
5151The way to do it is to separate Kennedy and Elaine-- see?
5151Then what did you telephone for?
5151Then you scrape the wire, just as you shave records to use it over again?
5151Thermit?
5151Was it natural, an accident, or-- or murder?
5151Was it typewritten?
5151We''re on the right trail,commented Elaine as he showed them to her,"but where do you suppose the owners are?"
5151Weepy Mary,between sobs, managed to blurt out,"You are Miss Elaine Dodge, are n''t you?
5151Well, how did your infra- red rays work?
5151Well, now we''ve got her, what shall we do with her?
5151Well, what do YOU want?
5151Well, where DID he go?
5151Well, where shall it be?
5151Well,I gasped,"what do you know about that?"
5151Well,she gasped again,"what''s the occasion of THIS?"
5151Well-- are you coming, Walter?
5151Were you watching me?
5151Wh- what do you think of that?
5151Wh- what''s the matter, Craig?
5151Wh-- what''s it all about?
5151What IS the matter?
5151What are those curtains?
5151What are we to do?
5151What are you going here for, Thomas?
5151What are you thinking of doing?
5151What can I do for you?
5151What can you do for this fellow?
5151What d''ye see, Bill?
5151What do you mean, sir, by such conduct?
5151What do you mean-- tell me?
5151What do you think of it?
5151What do you think of that?
5151What does all this mean?
5151What happened?
5151What has happened?
5151What have you been up against?
5151What have you to say about those?
5151What is it, Doctor,I asked finally,"that interests you most in America?"
5151What is it, Marie?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is it?
5151What is that?
5151What is that?
5151What is the hotel?
5151What is the matter, Marie?
5151What is the poison?
5151What is the trouble, do you think?
5151What shall we do with this and the other stuff?
5151What shall we do?
5151What shall we do?
5151What time is it, dear?
5151What trick?
5151What was her name?
5151What was it?
5151What was it?
5151What was it?
5151What was the message?
5151What would a certain blonde young lady accept as a birthday present from her family lawyer?
5151What''s all that?
5151What''s all this, Elaine?
5151What''s all this?
5151What''s it all about, Craig?
5151What''s that instrument you are using?
5151What''s that thing?
5151What''s that?
5151What''s that?
5151What''s the big idea, Walter?
5151What''s the matter with Rusty?
5151What''s the matter, here?
5151What''s the matter, old fellow?
5151What''s the matter, old man?
5151What''s the matter?
5151What''s the matter?
5151What''s the matter?
5151What''s the matter?
5151What''s them pieces of tin-- hey?
5151What''s your name, little boy?
5151What-- not ready yet?
5151What-- those little marks-- a clue?
5151What?
5151Where are you boys going?
5151Where are you going?
5151Where did this package come from?
5151Where did you get this package?
5151Where do you live?
5151Where have you hidden the seven million dollars?
5151Where is Bennett?
5151Where is Greenwich 4494?
5151Where is he?
5151Where is she-- tell me?
5151Where is the armor?
5151Where is the young lady who was here?
5151Where is-- Miss Dodge?
5151Where shall I have them put these things, Miss Elaine?
5151Where-- the deuce-- are you?
5151Where?
5151Which is?
5151Which way did the big car go?
5151Which way did they go?
5151Which way-- which way?
5151Who is it, Jennings?
5151Who is that woman?
5151Who is this?
5151Who the devil-- why did n''t you tell me a reporter was here, Jennings?
5151Who was that man who left you-- last-- the Clutching Hand?
5151Who?
5151Why did he let us go, though?
5151Why not one of these?
5151Why should our great Ksing Chau desire a white devil? 5151 Why, Craig,"I exclaimed excitedly,"what do you mean?"
5151Why, Dad,she cried,"where have you been?
5151Why, Miss Elaine-- what ees ze mattair? 5151 Why, do n''t you see?
5151Why, what''s the matter?
5151Why-- wh- what''s the matter?
5151Why-- what is the matter?
5151Why-- what''s the matter?
5151Why-- yes,answered the doctor,"but what of him?"
5151Why? 5151 Will you give me your name?"
5151Will you take care of him?
5151Wo n''t you come in?
5151Wo n''t you sit down a moment?
5151Wo n''t you step in?
5151Wo n''t you step in?
5151Would you like to follow our technique, Doctor?
5151Would you like to see it?
5151Would you mind-- er-- standing down the hall just a bit while I enter?
5151Y- yes,I replied dubiously,"but what does it all mean?"
5151Yes, I''m all right, thank you, Mr. Kennedy-- and I put the package you sent me into the safe, but--"Package?
5151You killed him?
5151You saw that limousine standing there?
5151You see what will happen at the hour of three?
5151You will?
5151You''re something of a scientific detective, are n''t you?
5151You-- kill him-- with knife?
5151You-- you are very careful since that last warning?
5151You-- you will not let that letter intimidate you?
5151''Do you know the combination?''
5151''Where else did your father keep papers?''
5151''Where else did your father keep papers?''
5151Approaching Tong Wah, he asked:"When will the death- drink be ready?"
5151At exactly half past, I want you to do as I told you-- see?"
5151At the signature of the Clutching Hand he frowned, then, noticing Dr. Hayward, turned to him and repeated his question,"What is the matter?"
5151Before that happens, we must''get''her-- see?"
5151Bennett?"
5151Bennett?"
5151Bennett?"
5151But what could we do?
5151Ca n''t you let us in so we can leave it?"
5151Ca n''t you tell us how to get out?"
5151Can he do it?"
5151Can you arrange it?"
5151Can your controlling spirit give him advice?"
5151Carton?"
5151Could it be Jennings?
5151Could it have been to get the evidence which Dodge had that would incriminate the master criminal?
5151Craig took the letter and we both read, with amazement:"Are you an enemy of society?
5151Did you have any breakfast?"
5151Do n''t you remember it?"
5151Do n''t you see, I''m perfectly able to take care of myself?
5151Do you see those lines?
5151Do you want to speak to him?
5151Dodge?"
5151Get me?"
5151Get me?"
5151Had he been seeing things or hearing things, I wondered?
5151Had he got so far in the chase, only to be outwitted?
5151Have you done anything yet in the little matter we talked about?
5151Have you done anything yet in the little matter we talked about?"
5151He was plainly ill."How long has Rusty been in the room?"
5151How are you getting on, Miss Stern?"
5151How could any woman scorn him?
5151How did it happen?"
5151How futile was it all in the presence of the great destroyer?
5151I know he wanted to laugh and say,"YOU-- a murderess?"
5151I moved over toward him and whispered eagerly,"Is there anything new?"
5151I suppose they''ve put some one up to saying she''s engaged?"
5151If I did, might he not pick us both off, from a safe vantage point, by some sharp- shooting skill?
5151If it was a murder, what was the motive?
5151In the safe?"
5151In which closet does the minister keep them?"
5151Is it anything important-- any news?"
5151Jameson?"
5151Kennedy?"
5151Kennedy?"
5151Kennedy?"
5151Might there not be some simple explanation of it, after all, which she had missed?
5151Morton?"
5151Or was it just the galvanic effect of the current?
5151Or was it our heightened imaginations, under the spell of the darkness?
5151Or was someone outside?
5151See how I fixed it?
5151See?"
5151See?"
5151Should I leave him and go to Craig?
5151Should he defend his rudeness, if she did not understand?
5151Should he flee?
5151Silence?
5151Suppose she should really be gone on only a short shopping trip and should return to find that she had been fooled over the wire?
5151Suppose the oxygen gave out?
5151Then he added to the policeman,"Where do you suppose it comes from?"
5151Then, hesitating and a trifle embarrassed, he added,"May I-- may I have one?"
5151There was a note of seriousness in it, too, that made me ask quickly,"Why?"
5151Understand?
5151Was anything wrong?
5151Was he possessed by such an inordinate jealousy of Bennett?
5151Was it a muffled scream?
5151Was it mere prejudice, or was it her keen woman''s intuition?
5151Was it the surprise of an innocent man?
5151Was she dead?
5151Was this Craig?
5151Was this Kennedy?
5151Was this the end?
5151Were such things as these going to happen to her, without Kennedy''s help?
5151Were we only to be shipwrecked in sight of port?
5151What Is It?
5151What did he think he could do-- blocks away?
5151What did it all mean?
5151What does she look like?"
5151What does she mean?"
5151What had we better do?"
5151What is it that worries you now?"
5151What is it?"
5151What is it?"
5151What is on your mind?
5151What should I do?
5151What should she do?
5151What should she do?
5151What should she do?
5151What to do?
5151What was that scratching noise?
5151What was that?
5151What was the matter?
5151What''s that?"
5151Where do you live?"
5151Where was Clutching Hand?
5151Where was Craig?
5151Where was Kennedy?
5151Who''s your friend?"
5151Why did n''t I believe him?"
5151Why had they quarreled?
5151Why not put her in there?
5151Why, he has been after that Clutching Hand now for three months-- and what has he accomplished?
5151Will he shoot me?
5151Will you allow me?"
5151Would he never throw it?
5151Would it bring help?
5151Would no one hear her?
5151Would the machine succeed?
5151Would they succeed?
5151Would we be in time to rescue Elaine?
5151You say it is made up of separate words and type cut from newspapers and pasted on note paper?"
5151asked the doctor peevishly,"Telephone?
5151growled the master criminal, covering the fact that he was considerably relieved to see him at last,"where have YOU been?
5151he exclaimed with mock politeness,"so, you thought you''d fool me, did you?
5151he says, and as he dictates, I write--""This?"
51307''You have absolutely made up your mind to do this, for the reasons you have given?'' 51307 A crack regiment, was it not?"
51307Ah, but you had later on?
51307Ah, then, he had some doubts himself?
51307Ah, then, you have some knowledge of something: your visit to me has been leading up to this, eh?
51307And I suppose, sir, you will have the body exhumed, for the purpose of discovering who the man really was?
51307And I take it you would give heaven and earth to get out of this environment?
51307And Miss Keane was an inmate of this suspicious household?
51307And have you thought of what is to become of me when I am turned out of my husband''s house?
51307And how did the family take it?
51307And how did you get on with the brother?
51307And how have you been getting on, Iris? 51307 And now, Mr. Bryant, have you any knowledge of what has become of them?
51307And now, Mr. Davis, the name of the man whom your sister met in the empty house?
51307And the girl, is she really his sister?
51307And were you attracted, too, by this formidable young lady, Major Murchison?
51307And what are your plans?
51307And what did you do after that night at Blankfield? 51307 And what do you suggest now?"
51307And what do you suggest, George? 51307 And what has become of Roddie?"
51307And what the deuce do you mean by saying that you might be implicated?
51307And what took place at that meeting?
51307And when did Tommie Esmond appear on the scene?
51307And when did you part with the so- called brother, George Burton?
51307And when did you take to this game?
51307And who are you, please?
51307And why for your sake? 51307 And why not?
51307And you have not seen him since that day?
51307And you made a fortune, I suppose?
51307And you recollect, sir, what happened a short time ago with regard to the crime of which Reginald Davis was accused?
51307And you think, with me, it was a murder, and not a suicide?
51307And you will bring it here?
51307And your friend Captain Murchison, will he come, too?
51307And, I suppose, you will still cast in your lot with her?
51307Are they alone, Robert?
51307Are they what they represent themselves to be, brother and sister?
51307As Mr. Pomfret and I have been such wanderers, would it not be nice to celebrate our return? 51307 At your hotel, then, I suppose?"
51307But how long ago is that? 51307 But it does n''t help you much, eh?"
51307But the brother, what about him?
51307But was there not a great risk of detection? 51307 But you are happy here, surely?"
51307But you were his decoy, if not his confederate, in the gambling saloon in Paris?
51307But you were prepared to chuck Roddie for that?
51307But, after all, I do n''t think I should have cared to be in the line; there''s not the same glamour about it, is there? 51307 But, surely, you must have some happy memories?
51307Can you bring some of your brother officers, Mr. Pomfret? 51307 Can you stop as easily when you are winning?
51307Did any suspicions attach to her?
51307Did you enjoy your visit?
51307Did you ever come across a cousin of hers there, a man named Dutton?
51307Did you ever learn anything of her origin?
51307Did you get a good price?
51307Did you hear any extracts read from the diary?
51307Do n''t you consider it a splendid life?
51307Do they want to knock the house down?
51307Do you know the name of the man?
51307Do you know what has become of him?
51307Do you see much of her?
51307Do you smoke, Miss Burton?
51307Does she ever play? 51307 Does the young lady play?"
51307Evidence of what?
51307Good,said Bryant;"and what did you know about the girl?"
51307Hardly worth the candle, is it?
51307Has Miss Keane many admirers? 51307 Has she asked your advice?"
51307Have you any idea how far the thing has gone?
51307How can any girl smoke a cigarette gracefully? 51307 How can you be implicated in the murder of the unknown man whom Carrie mistook for me?"
51307How could you have murdered him when you were at Brighton all the time?
51307How dare you say that?
51307How did you find that out?
51307How did you get on with the charmer? 51307 How does Mrs. L''Estrange take it?"
51307I believe I have the pleasure of addressing Captain Murchison?
51307I fancy you come from two different classes?
51307I hope you have helped yourself?
51307I say, they''ve turned it into a very decent sort of little crib, have n''t they? 51307 I suppose he has been on the''crook''all his life?"
51307If I am prepared to risk my aunt''s displeasure, you can surely afford to risk your brother''s?
51307If I can prove that they are meeting on the sly it will strengthen my hands, eh?
51307In other words, George Burton?
51307In other words, if you had been in her place, you would have preferred to live on the earnings of a rogue?
51307In what way?
51307Is Miss Keane in? 51307 Is Mrs. L''Estrange at home?"
51307Is the man''s name really Burton, or only an alias?
51307Is there any pain?
51307Is there much cheating going on at Elsinore Gardens?
51307It''s an interesting suggestion, Tommy, but before I decide tell me first-- who is Mrs. L''Estrange, and secondly, who and what is Miss Keane?
51307Major Murchison, are you not saying a little too much in presuming to place me on the level of the adventuress you have spoken of? 51307 May I take the liberty of detaining you for a few moments longer, sir, to impress upon you the importance of having that body exhumed?
51307Most excellent Tommy, how many times have I heard you say the same thing? 51307 Not a sportsman, I suppose, he does n''t care for hunting or shooting?
51307Now what do you really know about Miss Keane?
51307Now, Captain Murchison, may I ask you if your friend is a man likely to fall into the trap? 51307 Of my having met Tommie Esmond at Charing Cross Station?
51307Oh, you poor weak soul, you were so near it as that?
51307Quite the same sort, do you think?
51307Right, we will call together, and in the meantime we will keep it from the other fellows?
51307Roddie who, dear? 51307 Seems a reliable sort of chap, does n''t he?
51307Shall we have coffee in the drawing- room? 51307 She acted, I suppose, as a decoy and confederate?"
51307She did n''t suspect anything, then?
51307She was supposed to|be a well- bred woman, was she not?
51307Suicide, was n''t it?
51307Suppose I made you the same offer, what is your answer?
51307Suppose a woman friend offered to lend you five hundred pounds, to enable you to get clear of this stifling atmosphere, what would you say? 51307 That means that you feel happy to- night, eh?"
51307Then why has he gone to your husband?
51307Then you advise me to call, and be introduced to the brother, eh?
51307They go to pieces in thunderstorms and air raids, do n''t they?
51307Was it a nice place?
51307We are really coming to it now, then?
51307We neither of us want to hang for the murder of Hugh Murchison?
51307Well, Jack, are you in a mood to listen to my news?
51307Well, my man, what do you want with me? 51307 Well, what do you think of her?
51307Were you not dreadfully shocked when he told you, for of course he must have told you, how we got to know each other?
51307What age do you guess me, Spencer?
51307What can I do, Mr. Spencer? 51307 What do you mean?"
51307What do you say to joining the others? 51307 What do you think of her?"
51307What is his offence?
51307What is the mystery of the bounder cousin? 51307 What made you come here, if it is not a rude question?"
51307What was your own opinion about it? 51307 What''s up, Tommy?
51307When does Jack arrive, not too soon, I hope?
51307Who cares a fig for the Blankfield people? 51307 Who the devil is that?"
51307Why are you asking these questions?
51307Why should I wait to hear? 51307 Why?"
51307Will they?
51307Would you like to know something of my history, or would you like to kick me out at once, and have done with it?
51307You and Captain Murchison are very great friends, are you not?
51307You are brave, old girl?
51307You do n''t mean to say he has asked you to marry him?
51307You do n''t mean to say you have n''t heard of Blankfield?
51307You do n''t think your aunt would reduce your allowance if you left the army?
51307You have money, I suppose, something put by out of your-- your winnings?
51307You have never seen him before, Miles? 51307 You like my friend Murchison, then?
51307You propose that we should carry out our original intention of dining there and of sitting at the table of a criminal? 51307 You say that the man was so like you that the sister, who had known you from childhood, was ready to swear he was her brother?"
51307You would do this for me?
51307You''re an old hand, then? 51307 You''re paid to look after this house, are n''t you?
51307Your idea is to turn her out of her husband''s house, with or without scandal?
51307''I wonder whether you would care to become a partner in my business?''
5130710 Cathcart Square was Hugh Murchison?"
5130710 Cathcart Square, except what you gleaned from the newspapers?"
51307A somewhat strange omission for a man in his position, was it not?
51307After all, had he not rescued her, half dead with fright, in the dining- room of the"Excelsior"?
51307After taking his seven thousand pounds, I could not break faith with Hugh, could I?"
51307Always floating on the top as usual?"
51307And did they know the Major was alone?
51307And how did he know his name was Murchison?
51307And how was the actual murder accomplished?
51307And if he did, why had he not said so?
51307And if it were so, what was his duty?
51307And now for your great news, what are they?
51307And now what would you advise me to do?
51307And what did Miss Keane think of it all?
51307And what happened to the girl?
51307And where is that?"
51307And yet could he be sure?
51307And yet, was it all just a little too good to be quite true?
51307And yet, why was she not in a better environment?
51307And yet-- and yet-- was there anything in these suspicions?
51307Any fresh light upon this terrible thing?"
51307Are you going to leave yourself in my hands?
51307Are you really going?"
51307As a matter of course, you intend to turn me out of my husband''s house?"
51307But I suppose you feel a bit too shattered, eh?
51307But did you ever come across a man named George Burton, and a young woman who passed as his sister?
51307But how had they killed him?
51307But there is some stumbling- block in the way, is n''t there?"
51307But was she as genuine and frank as she seemed?
51307But was there anything remarkable in that?
51307But why does he not take one attitude or the other?
51307But why enter an empty house, where there was nothing to steal except the heavy furniture left by the late tenant, a Mr. Washington, who was abroad?
51307But why painful to me?
51307By the way, have you any objection to taking me up to call with you, when you go?
51307By the way, that letter found on the poor chap, announcing his intention to commit suicide, did they ask you to identify my handwriting?
51307Ca n''t you understand that he wants to warn him beforehand of the shame that is going to fall upon him, the discovery that his wife is a murderess?"
51307Can you recommend me to a private detective?"
51307Can you throw your mind back to a certain gruesome affair that happened at 10 Cathcart Square?"
51307Captain Murchison, will you kindly ring the bell?"
51307Could he count upon an equal fortitude in her?
51307Davis rose and gave a great shout:"You have witnesses who can swear to that?"
51307Did I exaggerate?"
51307Did I lose my hundred and fifty, or whatever it was, quite honestly?"
51307Did Tommy Esmond know as much as this?
51307Did he come here often?
51307Did she desire to know as much of his past as he desired to know of hers?
51307Did they ask you to identify that particular letter?"
51307Did you lose much?
51307Did you play at the same table with Tommy Esmond?
51307Did your companions desert you?"
51307Do n''t people strike up acquaintances in hotels, and sometimes trains?"
51307Do n''t you think you could soothe your nerves better by getting back to your laboratory, or whatever you call it?"
51307Do you admit,"he cried vehemently,"that George Burton and George Dutton are one and the same?"
51307Do you know anything about her yourself?"
51307Do you know anything about his sister, Miss Burton?"
51307Do you remember a little chap named Esmond, who used to go about everywhere?"
51307Do you think I do n''t see that you are trying to draw me?
51307Do you think, in a few words, that Stella Spencer is a good and straight woman in the general sense in which we understand the expression?"
51307Does Guy know what other people do not know, and is he keeping his mouth shut?
51307Dutton?"
51307Had Mrs. Spencer tried to take the wind out of his sails by volunteering some plausible explanation about her meeting with Esmond?
51307Had he brought a servant with him?
51307Had he by chance spotted those two strangers in the High Street, and wondered what manner of men they were?
51307Had he not alluded to a well- born cousin, beside whom Burton shone as a polished gentleman?
51307Had they gone to Cathcart Square together, or had Burton followed her, getting in by means of that broken window- pane at the back?
51307Had you any suspicions they were rooking you?"
51307Have you anything more to say?
51307Have you seen Mr. Esmond lately?
51307Have you signed any document about that seven hundred, by the way?"
51307He held several threads in his capable hands, but would he be able to weave them into a net wide enough for his purpose?
51307He lowered his voice to a confidential whisper:"What about that young chap yonder?
51307He was very weak; had the occurrences of this terrible night driven him over the border line that separates sanity from insanity?
51307He whispered back:"What did I tell you a little time ago?
51307His surprise expressed itself in the direct question which he shot at the detective:"I take it you are here to arrest them, then?"
51307How are you going to dig yourself and me out of this hole, in the face of that incriminating diary?"
51307How can I thank you?"
51307How could this imperial- looking girl have such an unmitigated bounder for a relative?
51307How did you do it?
51307How did you manage it, old man?"
51307How is it that you have learned to control your feelings so successfully?"
51307How is it you are alone?
51307How long?
51307How much is it?
51307How was it possible for a refined young woman to ever look forward to the visits of a person like Mr. Dutton, cousin though he might be?
51307How were Esmond and his partner found out?"
51307I do n''t know if you have ever heard of him?"
51307I do n''t suppose you have ever heard of her?"
51307I flatter myself I am a fairly good bridge- player, but what could one do with those cards of mine?"
51307I may call you Stella, may I not?
51307I mean he has not called to look over the house or anything?"
51307I suggest Tuesday if that will suit you?"
51307I suppose he is a frequent visitor?"
51307I suppose he''s rolling in money, too?"
51307I suppose it would be too unkind to assume that Guy had gone off his head?"
51307I suppose you have a bank?"
51307I suppose you will come quietly?"
51307I suppose you would back me up by saying that you have recognised her and this scoundrel who was yesterday her brother and is to- day her cousin?"
51307I wonder how long he has been away?
51307If I tell you what I do know, am I letting myself in for anything?"
51307If he addressed a remark to her, would she snub him?
51307If she, with all her advantages of birth and connection, had fallen by the wayside, why not a comparatively obscure person like Mrs. L''Estrange?
51307In that case, old chap, you would n''t handle much personally, would you?"
51307In that last interview with Mrs. Spencer, had he let out the fact that he had given the caretaker a holiday, so that they should not be disturbed?
51307Is it likely anybody will come forward now?
51307Is n''t it silly?"
51307Is she very bewitching?"
51307It has not occurred to you that we were rather rushed into this dinner, then-- that we were, so to speak, jumped at?"
51307It was after a short silence that Miss Keane put a somewhat abrupt question to him:"Are you fond of play, Mr. Spencer?
51307It''s a fair cop, is n''t it?
51307It''s not the first time you''ve cheated?"
51307L''Estrange''s?"
51307L''Estrange?"
51307Let me see, when was it?"
51307Loving wife or consummate actress, which was she?
51307Now arose the question, had the Major got through his business with the Spencers before the fourth of July?
51307Now, how comes it that such a refined and ladylike girl as that should have such a bounder of a brother?
51307Now, on the day preceding and the day following that tragedy, can you prove where you were?"
51307Now, what do you know about this cousin, Dutton?"
51307Of course she knew he was flattering her to obtain his purpose; but then-- was the most sensible woman absolutely impervious to flattery?
51307Of course you have heard?
51307Of what do you accuse me?"
51307On the other hand, was he justified in criticising?
51307Please forgive my blunt language, but it is so, is it not?"
51307Shall we say Monday?"
51307Shall we walk down to the Club to get a breath of fresh air, and turn in there for a quiet smoke?"
51307She was quite certain that the body was that of her brother, Reginald Davis?
51307So you went on with it after his death?"
51307Surely there was no tragedy to follow such a delightful wooing?"
51307That is true, is it not?"
51307The detective might be watching her, but did it matter?
51307The next question was who was the murderer, and what was the motive for committing the murder?
51307There was a little pause, and then Murchison spoke in his stern, inflexible voice:"And how long is it since you saw George Burton?"
51307There were gleams of brightness in your childhood?"
51307Was it an accident?"
51307Was it wise to pursue the acquaintance, with the pretty certain result of intensifying the interest he already felt in her?
51307Was she fond of money, he wondered?
51307Was there a chance that I could still keep on, that through his assistance I could find a decently paid occupation?
51307Was there any doubt, thought Spencer, that the little man was tremendously smitten by the beautiful Miss Keane?
51307Was there any need of caution now?
51307Was there any reason why he should not forestall that period by the rather daring expedient of a secret marriage?
51307Was this fat, comical- looking little man, a most unromantic figure, violently in love with Miss Stella Keane, and her sworn champion?
51307Well, Hughie, what are you going to do about the invitation?"
51307Well, what action are you going to take?
51307Well, what do you advise me to do?"
51307Well, you''ve made up your mind to go then?"
51307Were there any other members of the family who could support her in her identification?
51307What am I to do?
51307What could they say to this dreadful person who seemed so utterly lacking in all the qualities of good breeding?
51307What could you turn your hand to?"
51307What did it matter what she paid to- night?
51307What did this confession mean?
51307What did you make of your chance?"
51307What do you say to a game at bridge?"
51307What do you suggest?"
51307What does it matter to you who the man was?
51307What effect would they have upon the unsuspicious Jack?
51307What evil fate dogged her that she had to regard a perfectly common act of kindness as something to be exceptionally grateful for?
51307What folly will not a certain type of man commit for the sake of a pretty woman?
51307What had happened?
51307What have you done with them?
51307What in the name of wonder is the matter?"
51307What is he supposed to be, if he has any profession beyond that of his intense bounderism?"
51307What is her position there: paid companion, a passing guest, or does she share the flat with her cousin on some sort of terms?"
51307What is your favourite game?"
51307What was the mystery about her that could make a creature like this claim kinship with her?
51307What we want to know is, how did you come to be acquainted with the house?
51307When was that-- how long ago?
51307Where did you spend the night?"
51307Where were we to meet to discuss details?
51307Where were you all last night I should like to know?
51307Who is it you want to ask me about?"
51307Who was the poor devil who killed himself there?
51307Why did you not follow us?
51307Why should you, the old friend of my husband, be the bitter enemy of his innocent wife?"
51307Why the deuce should this agent of the police want to accost him?
51307Why were there people, he wondered, whom you instinctively wanted to kick, for no apparently sufficient reason?
51307Will it suit you?"
51307Will that content you?"
51307Will you agree to look upon me as a friend?"
51307Will you be kind enough to listen to my miserable history?"
51307Will you kindly step in, sir, and I will find out if she can see you?"
51307Will you take that refusal as the answer you really want?"
51307Would Major Murchison care to see him?
51307Would her fascination be strong enough to conquer his better judgment?
51307Would you like to know the reason?"
51307You are Miss Burton, are you not?
51307You are quite sure the last occasion on which you saw him was a few days before the discovery of the body?"
51307You have a deep interest in the matter for the sake of the Southleigh family, eh?"
51307You know Elsinore Gardens, Mrs. L''Estrange''s flat?"
51307You remember that, of course?"
51307You see a great difference between us, do n''t you?"
51307You understand?
51307was he not allowing himself to be misled by a chance resemblance, by random coincidences?
51307was she arrested, too?"
51307what do you mean by saying that, if further investigations are made, you might be dragged in?"
51307what tragedy of circumstance had driven this apparently lighthearted, butterfly little creature to such crooked ways?
51307what was there behind?
51307what''s the use of blinking the fact?
51307where do they meet?"
51307will you both come to dinner to- night, and we can relate our experiences?"
51307would it result in a marriage, he wondered?
51307would you like to hear the true history of that?"
44249''Them''?
44249A bird?
44249A large tree, heavy- branched?
44249About six feet from the house, Joe?
44249About twenty- two thousand dollars?
44249Alec, too?
44249All set, Joe? 44249 And after that he kept his hands up?"
44249And gypsies?
44249And then?
44249And then?
44249And?
44249Another cop?
44249Any chance,the hoarse voice asked,"of running into other cars out there?"
44249Any law against it?
44249Any news?
44249Any trouble collecting your wages?
44249Any witnesses to the will?
44249Anybody want some?
44249Anything else, Doctor?
44249Are n''t you a day early?
44249Are n''t you forgetting the broken plate, Captain? 44249 Are n''t you?"
44249Are we going home, Uncle David?
44249Are we going in?
44249Are you a music critic, too, Doctor? 44249 Are you going on?"
44249As far as Pelle''s factory?
44249Because if they had taken a bird seriously the next step----"The next step what?
44249Billy?
44249Boothy''s blood?
44249Boothy?
44249Bryan,he said softly,"are there pens and ink on your desk?"
44249Bryan,the blind man said,"will you call the telephone office and ask them can they send Tessie Rich over here for a moment?"
44249Bryan? 44249 But if he''s the one who''s expecting John, what about Rog and the other fellow?
44249But why signed statements?
44249But you ran?
44249But you think Donovan did it?
44249By whom?
44249Cagge, you were with Anthony how long?
44249Cagge,Dr. Stone said suddenly,"how did you sleep last night?"
44249Can you describe whoever''ll be in it?
44249Can you see the house from here?
44249Can you tell me,Dr. Stone asked,"what operators were on duty at seven o''clock last Monday night?"
44249Captain Tucker?
44249Captain Tucker?
44249Care for it, Joe?
44249Care to stretch your legs? 44249 Coming, Captain?"
44249Coming?
44249Could he?
44249Could n''t you telephone him, Uncle David?
44249Desperate?
44249Did Sweetman happen to be in a buying mood?
44249Did he forget that there was such a thing as the manuscript being stolen?
44249Did n''t I tell you?
44249Did they get him?
44249Did they,the doctor asked mildly,"find three hundred dollars in his pocket?"
44249Did this man John arrive?
44249Did you ever see this?
44249Did you have any reason to think I was asking about you?
44249Did you have to do that?
44249Did you hear anybody go out?
44249Did you run into the gypsies?
44249Did you say four hundred dollars, Cagge?
44249Did you see him get on?
44249Did you see him?
44249Did you sell a ticket late this afternoon or this evening to a man with a cut lip?
44249Did you stop at the police station, or did you come straight to the house?
44249Did you?
44249Did-- did you really have the proof, Uncle David?
44249Do n''t you know?
44249Do you always leap at conclusions?
44249Do you expect any jury to convict on the testimony of a dog?
44249Do you hear me?
44249Do you know what you''re saying, Doctor?
44249Do you know who did it, Uncle David?
44249Do you know why he resigned?
44249Do you, Sweetman?
44249Doctor, what did he do with the boy?
44249Doctor,Frederick Wingate said,"will you believe me when I say I did not know Farley was destitute?"
44249Doctor,Mr. Rodgers demanded,"what''s this talk about a ghost at Farley''s?
44249Doctor,he asked curiously,"do you actually believe in ghosts?"
44249Does Donovan know he''s suspected?
44249Does a man facing death, a man known to keep a tight fist on a dime, stop to draw five thousand dollars in cash from a bank?
44249Does n''t it strike you as strange, Captain, that Boothy''s hat should be found here?
44249Eight or nine years?
44249Ever see this before, King?
44249False teeth?
44249Finger prints?
44249Fish?
44249For what?
44249For what?
44249Frightened, Joe?
44249Ghost?
44249Going ghost hunting, Doctor?
44249Had that fountain pen long, Albert?
44249Had they received word from New York that this money was coming? 44249 Have n''t I tried to sweat it out of him?
44249Have you a magnifying glass?
44249Have you his cap?
44249He had this friend''s letter, of course?
44249Hear about the telegram that came this afternoon, Doctor? 44249 Heard about the robbery out your way, Doctor?"
44249Hesset?
44249How about that shot in the finger, Doctor? 44249 How about your signature on this other check?"
44249How can I? 44249 How did you know I was there?"
44249How did you know he was dead?
44249How did you know of the blood? 44249 How did you know that?"
44249How did you know?
44249How do I know?
44249How do you know?
44249How do you know?
44249How high is that safe from the floor?
44249How long could Waring remain a cashier if his past were dug out? 44249 How long did Wingate have his key?"
44249How long is it since Jud Cory left here?
44249How many persons knew this check was to be paid today?
44249How much did he offer?
44249How much do you weigh, Ira?
44249How much is it for, Joe?
44249How old did you say he was, Captain?
44249How old were you then, Jud?
44249How should I know?
44249How were you going to work it? 44249 How''s that?"
44249How?
44249How?
44249I follow you that far, Doctor, but how did you pick up Rog?
44249I gather that means something to you?
44249I saw it?
44249I thought you suspected me, Doctor?
44249I''ll carry that up to your room, Uncle Da----What''s Lady got?
44249If he were frightened,Dr. Stone asked mildly,"why did n''t he run to the house?
44249If it was imagination with me, what was it with Joe when he came running hard this afternoon?
44249If somebody wanted to dispose of a body would he drag it through the open or would he seek cover? 44249 In silver?"
44249Insured, of course?
44249Is Anthony''s death supposed to fill any of us with sorrow?
44249Is n''t she a beauty?
44249Is that the train that leaves New York at 8:11?
44249Is this village supposed to have a police force?
44249Jerry about?
44249Jerry, remember the man with the husky voice who would n''t let you lift the hood? 44249 Joe, is there a pine tree on the place?"
44249Joe, there is writing on this paper?
44249Joe, was the window of King''s room open?
44249Jud''s?
44249Just what did you hear, Sweetman?
44249Kent''s place, Joe?
44249Lang? 44249 Like it, Doctor?"
44249May I see those checks?
44249Might I have it?
44249Moans, screams, footsteps? 44249 Money?"
44249Mr. Smith, did a cashier resign eight or nine years ago?
44249Much?
44249Nobody thought of that seriously though?
44249Not bad, eh, Joe?
44249Now, Pelle,he snapped,"which one did you sign?"
44249Of the man who cashed that first check? 44249 Of what?"
44249Or did you know, before we left the room, that we were going to come back with a blood- stained hat?
44249Pelle,he asked,"how did you come to pick a Saturday morning to settle with Hesset?"
44249Pelle?
44249Pretty steep?
44249Read it, Joe?
44249Ready to go, old girl?
44249Ready, Tucker?
44249Reasonable, ai n''t it? 44249 Right away, Uncle David?
44249Robbed?
44249Search him, Captain?
44249Signed by whom?
44249Skipper?
44249So you know Herman Lang?
44249Still plotting, I suppose?
44249Still thinking of ghosts, Doctor?
44249Tessie gone? 44249 That finger?"
44249That first check was the forged check?
44249That scrap of paper?
44249That word was?
44249That you, Doctor?
44249The Calico Heiress?
44249The Wilkes case, gentlemen?
44249The bank?
44249The body?
44249The cobbled road?
44249The gypsies, Uncle David?
44249The last? 44249 The maid?"
44249The new mare, Allan?
44249The road the express wagon uses when it takes money to and from the bank?
44249Then the necklace was recovered?
44249Then why you standin''''round wastin''time doin''nothin''?
44249Then you''re not charging him with murder?
44249There''s a door to the left of this room, Kent?
44249They-- they do n''t know who did it?
44249This Jud Cory?
44249This organ- grinder?
44249This what you mean?
44249Took you a while to get used to them, did n''t it?
44249Tripped? 44249 Trouble?
44249Trying to scare me with a dog?
44249Tucker,said Dr. Stone,"will you look at his right hand?"
44249Tucker?
44249Twenty-- You''re positive of that?
44249Under arrest?
44249Voices?
44249Was Billy with him?
44249Was I supposed to make something?
44249We got the word, did n''t we?
44249We''re not mourning Anthony, are we?
44249Well, Doctor?
44249Well, Hesset?
44249Well, why not?
44249Well?
44249What about him?
44249What are they doing, Joe? 44249 What are you talking about?"
44249What crime, Uncle David?
44249What did he forget?
44249What did they look like?
44249What did you do from December to March? 44249 What did you hear or see, Joe?"
44249What do you make of this?
44249What do you mean by''them''?
44249What do you think of the mare?
44249What do you think that car was doing there, Uncle David?
44249What does it mean?
44249What does this mean, Doctor?
44249What else could I do? 44249 What for?"
44249What for?
44249What good would that do? 44249 What has that to do with it?"
44249What he, Ira?
44249What is it, Uncle David?
44249What is this,he roared;"a trap?
44249What kind of car?
44249What lies ahead, Foster?
44249What made you so sure they would n''t make their getaway up- country?
44249What magazine?
44249What make of car?
44249What mischief, Alec?
44249What time did his train get in?
44249What time did the hold- up happen, Joe?
44249What time does that train make Peekskill? 44249 What time is it, Joe?
44249What time is it, Joe?
44249What time will Tucker be back tonight, Doctor?
44249What was that?
44249What was the name of this man, Jud?
44249What wo n''t folks think up next?
44249What worries you?
44249What would it mean to you if I told you Donovan was a tall man?
44249What would you call that, Doctor, coincidence or-- something else? 44249 What''s strange about it?
44249What''s that, Doctor?
44249What''s the idea?
44249What''s the matter with the bacon and eggs?
44249What''s the meaning of this, Doctor?
44249What''s this bird been pulling, Cap?
44249What''s this vagabond doing here?
44249What''s this?
44249What''s your guess about that three hundred dollars, Tucker? 44249 What''s your guess?"
44249What?
44249What?
44249When Tucker came in, how did you know he had Boothy''s hat?
44249When did you say it was discovered, Kent?
44249When?
44249Where are we going, Uncle David?
44249Where are we, Joe?
44249Where did he go?
44249Where did he go?
44249Where did she come from?
44249Where is he?
44249Where is the light?
44249Where to?
44249Where was Bruce? 44249 Where''s his room?"
44249Where''s the boy, Doctor?
44249Where?
44249Where?
44249Which one?
44249Who brought it?
44249Who gets his property?
44249Who the devil are you?
44249Who told you that?
44249Who''s room is this?
44249Who''s the man with the husky voice, Uncle David?
44249Why are you so sure of that, Fred?
44249Why be hypocrites?
44249Why could n''t Jud have gone to the house several times before that meeting outside the post office? 44249 Why did Hesset bring his check here to be cashed?
44249Why did Ira do it? 44249 Why did Jud want to kill him?"
44249Why did n''t you tell Captain Tucker, Uncle David?
44249Why did n''t you tell us that?
44249Why did the organ- grinder come back and shoot at us?
44249Why did you want to know if I was on duty last Monday night?
44249Why do n''t you tell that to Skipper, Doctor? 44249 Why not?"
44249Why smear up a car when you can pack them where they''re out of the way?
44249Why the toll- bridge, Rog?
44249Why were you sure it was the shabby car?
44249Why, Uncle David?
44249Why-- why, of course not, Doctor? 44249 Why?"
44249Why?
44249Why?
44249Wild west stuff?
44249Would a murderer first tell that his victim kept muttering''Four, four,''and then add that the slain man owed him four hundred dollars? 44249 Yet you might buy?"
44249You and Joe will be over this afternoon?
44249You are afraid of ghosts, Sweetman?
44249You dare say that to me, Hesset?
44249You hear it, Doctor? 44249 You know they''re there?"
44249You know what that was?
44249You mean you could feel these grooves?
44249You say Anthony wrote you?
44249You still have the key, Sweetman? 44249 You wear false teeth, Captain?"
44249You were desperate, Alec, were n''t you?
44249You would n''t want the next bullet to go a little lower than your cap, would you, Captain?
44249You''ll admit, Doctor, that this is all rather circumstantial?
44249You''re asking me? 44249 You''re assuming they know telegraphy?"
44249You''re going over, David?
44249You''re not as easily fooled as that, Doctor? 44249 You''re stumbling now, Doctor, are n''t you?"
44249You''re sure of the time?
44249You''re sure?
44249You''re waiting for a car, Doctor?
44249You''ve had your share of bitter days, have n''t you?
44249You''ve kept track of this organ- grinder, have n''t you, Tucker? 44249 You''ve notified the police?"
44249Your uncle going to be home tonight, Joe?
44249A policeman has to get there while the trail is hot, does n''t he?"
44249A quick getaway?"
44249About eight?"
44249Albert''s hand was hard and strained, his grip that of a man steeled to see something through.... What?
44249Allan?
44249Am I right?"
44249And now he''s dead, and where am I going to collect the four hundred dollars he owes me?"
44249And so, when I asked if Allan were expected to return from that ride----""Yes?"
44249And then:"Might I trouble either of you gentlemen for a pipeful of tobacco?"
44249And why that intangible something that had hung between Uncle David and Harley Kent?
44249Any complaint, Doctor?"
44249Any lights?"
44249Any message you''d like me to give Albert Wall?"
44249Any talk about the getaway?"
44249Anybody hear tell of a Carl Metz?"
44249Anyway, if we do arrest Donovan, what about the necklace?
44249At least Pelle says he signed only one check and----""What do you mean I say I signed only one check?"
44249At their camp?"
44249Besides, who would hire them for this sort of work and risk paying blackmail all the days of his life?
44249But how did you know he was Boothy?
44249But-- is he supposed to come back?"
44249By means of succeeded in"Does it mean anything, Uncle Dave?"
44249By the way, Pelle, when you telephoned Monday evening did you tell Hesset what the amount of the check would be?"
44249By the way, Tucker, did you look for the manuscript?"
44249By the way, how did you come into possession of the key?"
44249By the way, who told Sweetman the ghost would invade his house if he pulled down Farley''s?
44249Ca n''t you see I''ve brought a can for the oil?"
44249Cagge says----""Who''s Cagge?"
44249Can you have him at the bank in an hour?
44249Can you picture 185-pound Ira allowing a 135-pound stripling, no longer flourishing a pistol, to wind him with a rope?
44249Captain Tucker said:"Where does this second check come in?"
44249Collect the money and then get word to them where to find the boy?"
44249Coming, Doctor?"
44249Correct, Kent?"
44249Could I risk shaking his courage and turning him into a coward?
44249Could I trouble you for a match, Doctor?
44249Could a boy be kidnaped in broad daylight from his own doorstep?
44249Could anything happen that would shake his uncle out of that unruffled tranquillity?
44249Could the bank be held responsible for paying a check Pelle told it to pay?
44249Could you see him when he left the room?"
44249Did he ever reach the warren?"
44249Did he feed the rabbits and wander on?
44249Did his uncle expect to find something there?
44249Did his uncle suspect somebody here?
44249Did the old man invite you?"
44249Did they lock a prisoner in a cell and keep him there night and day?
44249Did whatever happen happen so quickly that there was no time to run?
44249Did you ever see a captive who was not tied tightly?
44249Did you find Carl Metz and deliver the telegram?"
44249Did you find something else when you dressed that finger a little while ago?"
44249Did you know Matt Farley?"
44249Did you know he was writing a book?
44249Did you notice the open window in King''s room?
44249Do n''t you remember me?
44249Do they work together, or do they work alone?
44249Do you get that?
44249Do you hear it ticking?"
44249Do you know how much he''s paid me this last year?
44249Do you know where you can find Albert at this hour?
44249Do you mean he shot himself?"
44249Do you mind telling me the time?"
44249Do you realize you might have ruined everything?
44249Do you remember Cagge''s story?
44249Do you remember I asked for the checks this morning?
44249Do you remember, when we got there, that his hand pained?
44249Does a man, finding his house robbed in the night, calmly go upstairs and make a careful toilet?
44249Does he wait two hours before going to a telephone to call the police?
44249Does it mean anything, Uncle David?"
44249Does that make any difference?"
44249Does that wall look strange in any way, in any way at all?"
44249Donovan?
44249Dr. Stone asked:"Did Albert Wall give you a description?"
44249Dr. Stone asked:"How did the boy die, Tucker?"
44249Dr. Stone said:"Could Ira get Lady a drink, Foster?"
44249Dr. Stone said:"Did you hear that man''s breathing, Joe?
44249Dr. Stone spoke softly:"Ira''s been with you a long time, Foster?"
44249Eating?"
44249Find a ghost?
44249Five hundred dollars?
44249For what?
44249Foster?"
44249Get it, Doctor?"
44249Get it?"
44249God, man, do you know what that meant?
44249Got it?
44249Got your money?"
44249Had Uncle David told him to wear them so that they could go unnoticed to the pine tree?
44249Had it something to do with the Farley house?
44249Had n''t Pelle told you to pay the first check?
44249Had n''t he just given the check?
44249Had n''t they all seen the mare''s wild prancings?
44249Had the canner actually signed two checks?
44249Have n''t I grilled him trying to make him tell where he hid the body?
44249Have you the cap, Joe?
44249He''s with you now?
44249Hear about the hold- up?"
44249His uncle had never been here before-- how did he know about the tree?
44249How about it?"
44249How come they pick here for fishing?
44249How could I know it?"
44249How could a stranger have brought him through a village where he was known?
44249How could he have been taken past his own house out to the road?"
44249How could you tell that?"
44249How deeply did you dip your hands into Allan''s funds?
44249How did Pelle strike you?"
44249How did it get here?"
44249How did it get here?"
44249How did the note get here?"
44249How far up the street can you see?"
44249How long would King be manager of a brokerage house?
44249How long would Lawton have enough credit left to stay on in his business?"
44249How much are you short?"
44249How much did you lose?
44249How much would a good horse cost today?
44249How was Ira tied, Tucker?
44249How you explain that?"
44249I thought he might have gone trailing after that organ- grinder----""What organ- grinder?"
44249If so, which one?"
44249If so, why was he never seen fishing?
44249If some sharp eye should notice something queer about the way the bridge had collapsed had n''t there been gypsies encamped nearby?
44249If somebody wanted to use Ira to carry a message why did they shoot close enough to hit him?"
44249If the right moment comes, or the right scheme presents itself----"You heard about the settlement Pelle was to make with Hesset, did n''t you, Albert?
44249If there was shooting, what chance would a blind man stand?
44249If what?"
44249In twelve minutes?
44249Is it because he thinks it clever and smart?"
44249Is it because you had removed the cable running between your house and Farley''s?"
44249Is it the man who would be sure to become wealthy, or the man who might save himself from jail?
44249Is n''t this the driveway?"
44249Is one innocent?
44249Is that any excuse for murder?"
44249Is your gun handy, Captain?"
44249Joe had a glimpse of the uniformed figure at the wheel, and spoke in a hoarse whisper:"Will Donovan be put in jail, Uncle David?"
44249Just what does that prove?"
44249Kent''s car?"
44249Kent?"
44249Landry?"
44249Later, while Joe and I were on the lake----""That was last night?"
44249Look here, Doctor, what are you driving at?"
44249Looked as though----""How many tickets did he buy?"
44249Might not the hat have been left here to be found?"
44249Mind if I talk to him?"
44249Mind if I use Lady while you''re here, Doctor?"
44249Not a bad idea, was it?
44249Now, if this was their John, why should they tell him the fishing was good if they knew it was n''t?
44249Now, why did both those things have to happen last night when the safe was robbed?"
44249Now, why had these men come prepared to pack fish in ice if they knew there were no fish?
44249Now, why should he be upset?
44249Planning to arrest a ghost?"
44249Practice the act?
44249Remember when I asked Kent to lead me to the door?
44249Roscoe Sweetman called in his slow, heavy, rumbling voice:"Why were you running, Joe?"
44249See that, Doctor?
44249So we came up here----""And threatened him?"
44249Somebody----?
44249Something to look forward to, is n''t it?
44249Sweetman came in to see me this morning--""Sweetman?"
44249That tone of his uncle''s--?
44249The doctor asked:"Were you thinking of buying, Fred?"
44249The doctor said quietly:"How did you come to get the note, Ira?"
44249Tight?"
44249Trying to pull soft stuff on me?
44249Want that rod mended?"
44249Was Uncle David wrong?
44249Was he Carl Metz?
44249Was it the Farley house?
44249Was it this hold- up?
44249Was this the same John Rog and his companion were anxious to avoid?
44249Well, why not?
44249Were Mr. Pelle and the girl both involved?
44249What about Herman Lang?"
44249What about Jud Cory?"
44249What about Mr. Hesset?
44249What am I supposed to do about it?"
44249What are you doing at that car?
44249What better safeguard than to send it to a name unknown here?
44249What did you do with it?"
44249What do I get?
44249What do you make of him?"
44249What do you make of it, Doctor?"
44249What do you make of it?"
44249What for?
44249What for?"
44249What frightened him?
44249What hidden spring had that visit touched and what had frightened Tessie Rich?
44249What now?
44249What story would he have told?
44249What train did he take?"
44249What was Harley Kent doing here?
44249What was this coincidence?
44249What would happen to the maid?
44249What would you call it?"
44249What''s to prevent the one to whom that message is really intended loitering about the station and listening for it to click into the office?"
44249What''s your guess, Tucker?
44249When did you see him last?"
44249When was the boy seen last?"
44249When would the shooting start?
44249Where else with maybe Boothy lying dead?"
44249Where had that conversation been held?
44249Where has he been staying?"
44249Where was his uncle?
44249Where''s Boothy Wilkes''body?"
44249Where''s Boothy Wilkes, alive or dead?
44249Where''s Otis, Doctor?"
44249Where''s the corpse?
44249Where''s the dog?"
44249Where''s your ghost?"
44249Which one?
44249Which one?"
44249Who but an artist accustomed to skilfully blending colors?
44249Who could break into a wall and then doctor it so it would let out sound freely and still look untouched?
44249Who could eat food now?"
44249Who had gone to the bank with the first check and walked out with five thousand dollars in cash?
44249Who is he?"
44249Who is he?"
44249Who planned it?
44249Who undermined this bridge?"
44249Who was Carl Metz?
44249Who was the telegram for, Ike?"
44249Who was to die?
44249Who''d he snatch?"
44249Who''d think of looking for him there?
44249Why are n''t you at school?"
44249Why are_ they_ running away from this John?"
44249Why did Ira tell us about the three hundred dollars?
44249Why did n''t he take it back to Arlington and deposit it in his own bank?"
44249Why did n''t you have a doctor see it?"
44249Why does a man of means stoop to small cupidities?
44249Why had Mr. Sweetman cried out,"Did n''t I tell you?"
44249Why had he fled in panic from the orchard?
44249Why had his uncle gone to the telephone office?
44249Why should I?"
44249Why should I?"
44249Why should a leaf fall from a tree in early spring?
44249Why should anybody look for him there when the hue and cry had gone out for an organ- grinder who had disappeared after trying to disguise himself?
44249Why should he come back after seven years to do a murder?
44249Why should he go on without it?"
44249Why should they run from the police?
44249Why take Harley Kent''s arm?
44249Why the tree?
44249Why this added certainty?
44249Why this time?
44249Why were they coming to see Uncle David?
44249Why, then, had he hurried over here?
44249Why?
44249Wilkes?"
44249With so many now out of work, why should a man marry and at once throw up his job?
44249Would I be apt to tell voluntarily that I destroyed the book if the fact would link me to the murder?"
44249Would Uncle David let him go, or would Lady be sent to bring him back?
44249Would a man deliberately invite detection by leaving a trail right to his door?
44249Would you give me your arm to the door?"
44249You and Boothy had n''t seen or heard from each other in twenty years?"
44249You did n''t arrest Donovan?"
44249You found something?"
44249You got a line out for him, Cap?"
44249You have pens, gentlemen?
44249You heard Skipper mention the will?
44249You heard that telephone talk of Landry''s?
44249You know that bird who''s been penny snatching with a monk?"
44249You remember Bruce-- forever chasing boys out of the orchard when he came on vacation?
44249You understand, sir?"
44249You were in one sweet peck of trouble, were n''t you, Ira?"
44249You''ve never been a half- soled cousin, have you?
44249You?"
44872''Yes; how did you know?'' 44872 A lady?
44872A large one?
44872A man, with a pistol in his hand, running out of the door----"Which door?
44872A new mystery?
44872A stenographer maybe,Wise went on, and Olive cried:"Do you mean Jenny?"
44872A what?
44872A woman?
44872About what?
44872Accessory to his murder?
44872Afraid of what?
44872All right, Miss Smarty, what''s your idea? 44872 Am I wanted?"
44872Amnesia?
44872Amos Gately? 44872 And Uncle forbade me ever to mention it,--but this is an emergency, is n''t it?
44872And after the two men rose, they disappeared at once?
44872And allowing admirers?
44872And as to a detective? 44872 And did Miss Raynor come this morning?"
44872And did he?
44872And do n''t be too previous; sometimes men have gilt- lettered cigs, do n''t they?
44872And his memory now?
44872And is the reader greatly enlightened?
44872And just what is it you say, now, Zizi?
44872And may I ask why it appeals to you as queer?
44872And next?
44872And now, Mr. Talcott, tell me what''s the matter? 44872 And now, absolutely your own mistress?"
44872And so,I said,"we are as far as ever from the discovery of the murderer?"
44872And that opened at once?
44872And the other callers?
44872And the peculiarities,--what are they?
44872And the shoulders? 44872 And the woman?"
44872And then?
44872And what about him?
44872And what did you see of the callers in Mr. Gately''s room just before you heard the shot fired?
44872And you fell in?
44872And you say there is something to be investigated in Mr. Gately''s offices?
44872Any clews around, to verify your suspicions?
44872Are n''t all girls proud of good teeth? 44872 Are such things permitted?
44872Are you engaged to him, Miss Raynor?
44872Are you engaged to me?
44872Are you his betrothed?
44872Are you quite sure you want to confide these personal matters to me?
44872Are you sure about the powder- paper?
44872Are you sure? 44872 Are you sure?"
44872Are you wanted?
44872Are you_ sure_ it is Manning?
44872Are you_ sure_ you think so?
44872At what time was that?
44872At what time were you in Mr. Gately''s office?
44872But even though I looked at the desk, how could you pick out the very letter, at once?
44872But how did he leave?
44872But how do_ you_ know it?
44872But it''s incomprehensible,Norah went on;"where''s Jenny?"
44872But what could have happened that would make it impossible for him to send you some word?
44872But what is it?
44872But where did he go? 44872 But why abduct him?"
44872But,--do tell me what''s the import of a blank sheet of paper?
44872But-- but-- how did she-- how did Miss Raynor get out of the room?
44872Ca n''t they get all that out of Sadie?
44872Ca n''t you deduce his previous occupation?
44872Ca n''t you tell me more positively? 44872 Can I be of any service to you-- in any way?"
44872Can they get such things over now?
44872Can we get it?
44872Can you fire a pistol, Miss Raynor?
44872Carriage check?
44872Could n''t that S be an O?
44872Did anyone else use the elevator?
44872Did he favor Amory Manning?
44872Did he go down into the earth to seek the paper?
44872Did he go up in it yesterday?
44872Did it ever occur to you, Mr. Brice,--Zizi''s face grew very serious,--"that those two quests will lead you to the same man?"
44872Did it really amount to that?
44872Did old man Boyd ever see Rodman leave the Matteawan by way of that elevator?
44872Did people come here to the house to see Mr. Gately on business?
44872Did she go quietly?
44872Did she kill him?
44872Did these people all go down in your car, too?
44872Did they? 44872 Did you not see his face in profile?"
44872Did you tell him the truth, Miss Raynor?
44872Did you write it?
44872Do callers usually go through your room?
44872Do n''t you know anything about it?
44872Do you know Amory Manning?
44872Do you know her?
44872Do you know this?
44872Do you think somebody shot Uncle Amos? 44872 Does Mr. Gately use the thing much?"
44872Down the stairs?
44872Expected what?
44872For any definite reason, Miss Raynor?
44872For that matter,I countered,"where''s Mr. Gately?
44872For what?
44872Go on, Jenny; nobody had gone through your room?
44872Got a picture of Amory Manning?
44872Had he a hat on?
44872Had you noticed anything unusual lately about Mr. Gately? 44872 Has Uncle Amos run away?
44872Has he proved it yet?
44872Has she any reason to think that?
44872Has the writing been erased?
44872Have you any such fear-- definitely, I mean?
44872He has charge of your fortune?
44872He has? 44872 He made no objection to your expenditures?"
44872Her husband? 44872 Her work, you mean?"
44872How could you know there was a picture under it? 44872 How did he get in, if not through your room?"
44872How did he know you were there?
44872How did you know where to find that?
44872How do I know?
44872How do you fit it in?
44872How do you know all this?
44872How do you know the car is down?
44872How do you know they were quarreling?
44872How do you know?
44872How soon after?
44872How were you dressed?
44872How, then?
44872How, then?
44872How?
44872How?
44872I do n''t want to force your confidence, but ca n''t you tell me a few more facts? 44872 I ran into Mr. Gately''s room----""And you were n''t frightened?"
44872I was in here, at my desk, Mr. Talcott,she began, volubly;"and in Mr. Gately''s office, I heard somebody talking pretty sharp----""A man?"
44872I will call Mr. Gately''s physician,he said, his mind working quickly, as he paused a moment,"and you will break the news to Miss Raynor, you say?
44872I will,he said, looking at her tenderly,"but-- do you want to?
44872I''ll read it aloud?
44872I''ll wait a while,she said, with the quick decision that I found was habitual with her,"the car is still here,--oh, ought we not to tell Connor?
44872Iceland?
44872If what''s true?
44872If you were told, on good authority, that a man had crossed the ocean in an aeroplane, you''d believe it, would n''t you?
44872In Mr. Gately''s room?
44872Is Miss Raynor in there?
44872Is he suspected of killing Gately?
44872Is it_ the_ pistol?
44872Is n''t your memory very short?
44872Is that so? 44872 Is the letter written by a woman, and signed''A Friend''?"
44872Is this one?
44872Just what do you remember?
44872Live here?
44872Look here, Brice, ca n''t we go over Gately''s rooms now? 44872 Man or woman?"
44872May I come in?
44872May I come in?
44872May I come?
44872May I see the letter?
44872Maybe you were an engraver,I hazarded,"before you----""Before I fell through the earth?
44872Meaning anybody in particular?
44872Miss Raynor?
44872Mr. Gately did not approve of his attentions to you?
44872Mr. Manning? 44872 Must they be brought in?
44872My companion? 44872 My room?"
44872No, I do n''t think so,--but she heard a pistol fired off, and she-- she----"What did she do?
44872No; what sort of a paper?
44872Nor any other men?
44872Not a Derby?
44872Not omniscient Sherlocks, are they? 44872 Not yet, but soon,"Wise said, optimistically;"the ax is laid at the root of the tree,--we are on the right track----""Meaning Case Rivers?"
44872Now Mr. Brice, what shall be our next step? 44872 Now, Miss Raynor, where does this elevator descend to?
44872Of course not, Minny,I agreed;"but what did Jenny mean?
44872Of course,I assented;"but has he no personal enemies?"
44872Oh, Mr. Brice,and the girl burst into tears,"Jenny said----""Well,"I urged, as she hesitated,"what did Jenny say?"
44872Oh, my darling child,exclaimed Mrs. Vail, as we went in,"where have you been?
44872Oh, no, it was dark,--how could it be otherwise, inside the earth?
44872Oh, what is it, Zizi?
44872Oh, wo n''t it be fine when you remember?
44872Only a date,--on a plain sheet of paper,--what does that mean?
44872Only one more query, Miss Raynor,and Wise spoke very gently;"are you,--were you engaged to Amory Manning?"
44872Out to the hall? 44872 Perhaps he''s fallen through the earth again,"Norah suggested;"by the way, Mr. Brice, what do you think about that fall?
44872Pray, how do you know, oh, modern Cassandra?
44872Proving?
44872Pulled out of the river, you say?
44872Really, Rivers, do you feel like an old man?
44872Scrapping?
44872Shall I tell all,--now and here?
44872She is his ward?
44872She''s a marvel, that child,said Rivers;"where''d you get her?"
44872Shot through the heart and alone in the elevator?
44872Shot?
44872Sir?
44872So you went down in the elevator?
44872Such as?
44872Such as?
44872Swiss cheese?
44872That journey through the earth----"You been reading Jules Verne lately?
44872That must be so, but where did they go? 44872 That''s true, Hudson,"I interposed,"why constitute yourself Miss Raynor''s Sunday- School teacher?"
44872The fight,--on which let me congratulate you,--stirred some old memory?
44872The keys, Brice?
44872The pistol was smoking,he repeated,"where did the man go with it?"
44872The third room was also locked?
44872The woman who screamed?
44872Then how can we get around her?
44872Then how did you know? 44872 There was an old lady, to see about her husband''s pension,--and----""Well?
44872Those fragments have been kept?
44872Through a long hole,--miles long?
44872Unpleasant, how?
44872Very well, then, where was I?
44872Was Miss Raynor there before or after the other two callers you mentioned?
44872Was Mr. Manning there?
44872Was Sadie Kent?
44872Was he knocked senseless?
44872Was n''t this a general rule?
44872Watcha want?
44872Well, I think it was, and though we ca n''t connect up the pistol with Rodman----"Did you get the pistol from the Boston man?
44872Well, ai n''t I behaving pretty?
44872Well, could it have been a woman?
44872Well, now, how do you guess that?
44872Well, then, as he never did go home,--hasn''t been there yet,--what theory is there except that he was prevented from going there? 44872 Well, why is he afraid to come here?"
44872Well,said Rivers, at last,"what are we waiting for?
44872What about Jenny? 44872 What about that paper Zizi took from Sadie Kent?"
44872What about your falling through it? 44872 What are his tastes?"
44872What are they?
44872What are you all laughing at?
44872What are you going to do when you get out of here?
44872What are you implying, Mr. Hudson? 44872 What became of his clothes?"
44872What became of the man?
44872What became of the murderer, then?
44872What can you do?
44872What did you do next?
44872What did you get?
44872What do I smell?
44872What do you deduce from that?
44872What do you mean?
44872What do you mean?
44872What does Rodman say for himself?
44872What does she link?
44872What else?
44872What for?
44872What have you done?
44872What is this letter, Miss Raynor?
44872What is your way, Zizi?
44872What is your work?
44872What makes you think it was a woman, then?
44872What paper?
44872What shall I do, Amory? 44872 What sort of hat did the man wear?"
44872What sort of work and how do you know so much about him?
44872What sort of wrongdoing is this Rodman accused of?
44872What time was this?
44872What was the business?
44872What were you screaming about, then?
44872What''s he like?
44872What''s the matter?
44872What''s the matter?
44872What''s this,--what about a shot? 44872 What?
44872What?
44872What?
44872When did he last come into his offices before-- before he disappeared?
44872When did he, Jenny? 44872 When did you last see him-- alive?"
44872When do you expect it?
44872When you knew a lady once who was nearly killed did she yell like that?
44872Where did it come from?
44872Where did they enter?
44872Where does he live?
44872Where is he?
44872Where is it?
44872Where is it?
44872Where is she?
44872Where is she?
44872Where was he picked up?
44872Where''s Rodman now?
44872Where''s she gone?
44872Where''s the checkbook?
44872Where?
44872Which do you think?
44872Which proves,he summed up,"that Mr. Gately and Mr. Rodman was somehow in cahoots, else why would Rodman have access to that secret elevator?
44872Who are you?
44872Who bored the hole?
44872Who is Miss Raynor?
44872Who offered it? 44872 Who was she?"
44872Who went through your room this afternoon?
44872Who''s he?
44872Who''s his executor?
44872Who''s that?
44872Who?
44872Why a short time?
44872Why are you so sure he was attacked? 44872 Why do n''t you put away that hatpin, too?"
44872Why, so it is,and Olive examined the letter with deep interest;"but how can you find a machine with an elevated_ s_?"
44872Why, when that gentleman is so greatly your senior?
44872Why? 44872 Why?"
44872Why?
44872Why?
44872Why?
44872Will you ask him to help us?
44872Will you do what I want?
44872With the crime? 44872 Yes, a card like a piece of Swiss cheese,--you know those perforated carriage- call checks?"
44872Yes, sir; sort of quarreling, you know; I----"Did you listen?
44872Yes, that''s what she said----"Who shot him?
44872Yes,she agreed;"but how shall we set about it?
44872Yes,she replied, promptly,"I am a good shot; why?"
44872Yes; but how did they get out? 44872 Yes; do n''t you remember?
44872Yes; does n''t it seem strange? 44872 You are not afraid, then, of investigation, for yourself-- or, for anyone else?"
44872You are?
44872You can reason and understand everything said to you?
44872You did n''t know the visitor''s voice? 44872 You expected it?"
44872You frequently saw him come down, then?
44872You have a suspect, then?
44872You have tried the hospitals?
44872You heard, then, angry voices?
44872You mean you were entirely divested of clothing?
44872You mean, you fell through a section or segment of the globe? 44872 You were clothed when you started?"
44872You what?
44872You''re a witch,she cried;"own up, now, are n''t you a witch?"
44872You''re mine, now, are n''t you, dearie?
44872You, then, went right across the hall and tried to enter?
44872Your friends, then, aided and abetted you in deceiving your guardian?
44872A bit intimate, is n''t it, for a woman to powder her nose in a man''s office?"
44872Abducted?
44872About ten?"
44872All of us, that is, but Olive,--and who could tell what she thought?
44872Also, I want to see Jenny,--the young stenographer who was----""Shall I get her here?"
44872An old man named Smith----""What was his business?"
44872And he had on an overcoat----""A dark one?"
44872And he killed Amos Gately?"
44872And just how did he accomplish the feat?"
44872And then I ran in there to see what it meant,----""Were n''t you frightened?"
44872And where was the woman who had screamed?
44872And who were they?
44872And yet, it is very much thumbed, is n''t it?
44872And yet, was I involved?
44872And yet, what could we do?
44872And you do?"
44872And you think you could do a lot of smarty- cat deduction?"
44872And, by the way, I''m to get a job of some sort today-- yes?"
44872And, what did he do with it to give it that thumbed, used look?"
44872And, why may he not have an inkling or a suspicion of it, and dread to verify his fears?"
44872Any nervousness or apprehension of danger?"
44872Anyway, do n''t you believe we could trace the woman who used it and left it there?
44872Are n''t they exquisite?"
44872Are they political?"
44872Are you alone?"
44872At last I said:"Why do n''t you arrest Rodman, then?"
44872At what time?"
44872Attacked?
44872Brice?"
44872Brice?"
44872Brice?"
44872Brice?"
44872Brice?"
44872Brice?"
44872But as you say, why is it here?
44872But could n''t you see them?"
44872But did n''t I size her up from the hatpin?
44872But first, Mr. Brice, ca n''t we do a little investigating by ourselves?
44872But it begins to look as if Sadie Kent sold her stolen telegrams to Rodman, and he-- can''t you guess?"
44872But it''s no crime for a man to have a concealed way of gettin''into or out of his own rooms, is it?
44872But they do say every man has a secret side to his life, and why should Mr. Gately be a lone exception?"
44872But when I got in there, and saw----""Well, go on,--what did you see?"
44872But where were they?
44872But whose?
44872But why are not other people doing this?
44872But you think, do n''t you, that we must go ahead and learn all we can?"
44872But, I say, we''re getting at things, eh, Brice?
44872But, is your memory returning?"
44872But, oh, Penny, what does it mean?"
44872But----""Are they engaged?"
44872CHAPTER XIV Where is Manning?
44872Ca n''t she tell you anything?"
44872Ca n''t you get in upstairs?"
44872Call Headquarters and tell the Chief to arrest,--what''s her name, Jenny?"
44872Can he be the missing Manning?"
44872Can you come to see me?"
44872Come early, wo n''t you?"
44872Could not he have been the criminal?
44872Could you recognize the head of the visitor if you should see it again shadowed on the door?"
44872Did Mrs. Driggs go back through your room when she left?"
44872Did n''t they appreciate it?"
44872Did she see Mr. Gately shot?"
44872Did you ever hear about that, Rivers?
44872Did you follow him?"
44872Did you study that?"
44872Do you consent?''
44872Do you know any telegrapher, Miss Raynor?"
44872Do you know, Chief, the disappearance of that Manning chap is in some way connected with the Gately murder?
44872Do you remember any more details of that somewhat-- er-- unusual performance?"
44872Do you suppose they''d let me?"
44872Do you think I killed my guardian?"
44872Does Miss Raynor smoke?"
44872Does he want a position of some sort when he gets well enough to take one?"
44872First of all, do_ you_ think Mr. Rodman the guilty man?"
44872Gately?"
44872Gately?"
44872Gately?"
44872Gately?"
44872Gately?"
44872Has it to do with a pair of glasses?"
44872Have n''t we positive proof that Sadie Kent was in Gately''s office the day he was killed?"
44872Have you any objection to such a course?"
44872Have you any suspicion,--Miss Raynor, even the slightest?"
44872Have you heard anything of Mr. Manning later than the time when I saw him get off the Third Avenue car on his way home that night?"
44872He left you there, did n''t he?"
44872He looked accusingly at her, and continued,"Do you own a pistol?"
44872He smiled quizzically, and said,"Well, Zizi, girl, what''s hypnotizing you?
44872Headquarters?"
44872Heard a woman scream?
44872Heard the report of a pistol?
44872How can I get a position as master designer in some great factory?"
44872How could they?
44872How did you do it, Wise?
44872How do you propose to proceed?"
44872How goes the stalking of the murderer?"
44872How much?"
44872How shall we set about it?"
44872How will you go about it?"
44872I cried in amazement"What is he?
44872I cried, sternly;"what do you mean?"
44872I did n''t hear clearly, but I heard enough to make me look through the window between the two rooms----""This window?"
44872I do n''t know much about such things, but do n''t some of those all- wise detectives have more theories and deductions than results?"
44872I do n''t know yet just how deeply or how knowingly----""You mean,"I caught at the straw,"that he was a go- between, but did n''t know it?"
44872I exclaimed,"_ why_ would a carriage check be soiled with age?
44872I mean what does he do?"
44872I mean, where does it open on the ground floor?"
44872I said,"Greenland?"
44872I said,--of course, I was terribly excited,--''Where are you?
44872I say, Brice, what did you tell me once about Swiss cheese?"
44872I should have said a newspaper woman but for a certain peculiarity of style which indicates,--what, Zizi?"
44872I snapped back;"and, pray, sir, if he has not disappeared, where is he?"
44872I suppose not all the callers were beneficiaries?"
44872I tell you I was far away from where I fell in, and I came miles straight down through the solid earth----""Could you see plainly?"
44872I thought of the police, but was it right to call them when I had so vague a report to make?
44872I was going down,--in Minny''s elevator, you know,--to look for Jenny----""When was this?"
44872I was so rattled,--and I only saw him a moment,--and----""Would you know him if you saw him again?"
44872I was somewhere,--somewhere up North----""Canada?"
44872I_ must_ do something, I told myself, sternly,--but what?
44872If Amory Manning was there, why did n''t he telephone himself?
44872Is anybody there now?"
44872Is n''t it funny how people always draw or scribble while they''re waiting to get a telephone call?"
44872Is that some technical term?
44872It seemed absurd on the face of it, and yet----"Why, then, did Jenny say she saw a man?"
44872It was concealed, I had reason to think, somewhere in Gately''s desk----""Do you know that?"
44872It was n''t yours, Miss Raynor?"
44872Manning?"
44872Manning?''
44872May I come to see you again?"
44872May I?"
44872May he have been kidnaped?
44872Minny, what do you mean?"
44872Mr. Manning had enemies,--that much I may tell you----""Do you know more?
44872Mr. Rivers is no doubt under some strange hallucination, but all the same, may there not be some foundation on which he based his dream?"
44872No clothes or any identification?"
44872Now, I thought, to what extent or in what way was Case Rivers concerned?
44872Now, if he was here, in this office, on that day,--what was he here for, and who is he?"
44872Now, who did?
44872Olive, may I come up to the house this evening?"
44872Or is he bound and gagged in some unused room, say on the floor below this?"
44872Or shall I turn it over to the Boston police?
44872Or, if you''ll give me a letter of introduction----""Do you know your way around New York?"
44872Rivers?"
44872Russell?"
44872Sadie?"
44872See?
44872See?"
44872Shall I get in touch with Wise?"
44872Shall I send it to you,--and how?
44872Shall we go down there?"
44872Shall we go together?"
44872She gazed at me absently, and then, noting my air of excitement, she became alert and exclaimed,"What''s happened?
44872Smelled smoke?
44872So, I opened the door and ran in----""Yes; and?"
44872Suppose you and the janitor stay here, while I go back next door and tell-- tell whom?"
44872That I had seen shadows fighting?
44872That drawing of Rivers''?"
44872That snowflake sketch proves he was there that day and as his presence is n''t accounted for, why may he not have been the slayer?
44872That you can_ not_ tell me?"
44872The pink one we passed is yours, is n''t it?''
44872Then where is he?"
44872Though broad, like a man''s, might not a woman''s figure, say, wrapped in furs, give a similar effect?"
44872Vail?"
44872Wanta go?"
44872Was the hallucination of falling through the earth destined to mar his newly returned sanity?
44872Was your interview-- er,--amicable?"
44872Well, Mr. Gately, he owned the Matteawan, d''you see?
44872Were there any other ladies?"
44872What can it mean?
44872What could I tell them?
44872What did he do to you, Miss Olive?
44872What do you know new?"
44872What else can you think of that would account for Mr. Manning''s sudden disappearance?
44872What for?"
44872What has he got to do with it?"
44872What is his name?"
44872What is it?"
44872What motive?"
44872What of it?"
44872What shall we do?"
44872What''s it all about?
44872What''s the matter, Zizi?
44872What_ can_ we do?"
44872Where are they?"
44872Where can I get a room to live in for a short time?"
44872Where could Manning have disappeared to?
44872Where is Manning?
44872Where is Rivers?"
44872Where is it?"
44872Where was the woman who had screamed?
44872Where were the men who had fought?
44872Where were the people I had seen and heard?
44872Where were these people?
44872Where''s Mr. Amory Manning?"
44872Where''s his angry visitor, male or female?
44872Where, exactly, was that?"
44872Which one?"
44872Which way shall we look, Wise?"
44872Who are Mr. Manning''s friends?
44872Who are his business people?
44872Who called?"
44872Who could have done it?
44872Who is he, anyway?
44872Why act as if you never knew it before?"
44872Why are they silent?"
44872Why did I assume that Mr. Gately was the victim?
44872Why did he make you say you were his girl?"
44872Why do you ask that?"
44872Why has he enemies?
44872Why is he a menace?"
44872Why is it here, anyway?"
44872Why, if Mr. Gately went downstairs, has he not been visible since?
44872Why?
44872Why?
44872Will you answer questions or will you wait until you, too, are arrested?"
44872Will you tell me why you said you were at the house of your friend, Miss Clark?"
44872Will you tell me, please, all you know of the circumstances pertaining to Mr. Gately''s disappearance,--if he has disappeared?"
44872Will you tell us why?"
44872Wise the letter?"
44872Wise, with your present work?
44872Wise, wo n''t you?"
44872Wise?
44872Wise?"
44872Wise?"
44872Wo n''t you explain how you do it, as you go along?"
44872Would they accuse Miss Raynor,--lovely Olive Raynor, of the crime?
44872You believe he fell into the globe at Canada,--or some Northern country, and fell out again in New York City?"
44872You can get some friend to come to stay with you tomorrow, ca n''t you?"
44872You could n''t mistake his head, and, too, who else would be in there?
44872You know she''s''The Link''?"
44872You know the details?"
44872You looked out in the hall, at once, you say?"
44872You noticed nothing there, Mr. Brice, that seemed indicative?"
44872You remember it?"
44872Zizi''s eyes flashed at this, and she said,"Has she traced it?"
44872Zizi?"
44872_ Why_ did he keep it?
44872and I''m justified,--don''t you think?"
44872and did n''t your girl trace the powder- paper?
44872and, finally, where''s the pistol that made the sound and smoke of which I had positive evidence?"
44872asked Norah,"what became of her?"
44872cried Wise;"is n''t this enough proof?
44872cried Zizi;"where?
44872exclaimed Mrs. Vail;"but how did you know I once saw a lady nearly killed?"
44872he asked;"have you checked him up?"
44872scoffed Zizi;"did you ever know a case, oh, Wise Guy, that did n''t revolve round and hinge on a poiper?
44872spoke up Zizi;"where does he come in?"
44872the Chief straightened up;"how do you know?"
44872who are you?''
44872you had never heard it before?"
55310About Francis?
55310About what?
55310Ah,sighed Aunt Jane, folding her withered hands,"who knows the wickedness of the heart?"
55310Am I late?
55310And Strent and Rose?
55310And after that?
55310And afterward?
55310And from the Fen Inn to Marshminster?
55310And the pearl ring?
55310And what about Felix and Miss Bellin?
55310And what about Paris?
55310And what are you doing here?
55310And what excuse could he make for wishing to murder his brother?
55310And what have I to do with such a creature?
55310And what will you tell the police?
55310And when did you hear last from Miss Bellin?
55310And who wounded him?
55310And why do you stare so steadily at me?
55310And you agreed?
55310And you promised to assist him in removing Francis if he married you?
55310And you?
55310And you?
55310And your brother?
55310Are you Felix Briarfield?
55310Are you acquainted with a girl named Rose Strent?
55310Are you aware of the truth?
55310Are you convinced?
55310Are you going to arrest me?
55310Are you going to put this matter in the hands of the police?
55310Are you ill?
55310Because I deny that Francis killed Felix?
55310But now, Francis, who do you think killed your brother?
55310But surely, Denham, you do n''t intend to inform the police?
55310But the manager of the hotel?
55310But what about her blackmailing Francis?
55310But what about the substitution of yourself for Felix?
55310But why here, of all places?
55310But why should he do that?
55310But why should she conceal his movements?
55310But why?
55310But you do n''t believe I killed Felix?
55310By the way,I asked Aunt Jane, as we parted for the night,"how does Miss Bellin look?
55310By what right do you make this mad assertion?
55310Ca n''t you see?
55310Can it be,thought I,"that it was Felix whom I met at the inn?
55310Can it be?
55310Can you wish for stronger proof?
55310Care of Felix?
55310Did Mr. Briarfield go to the Fen Inn at night?
55310Did he say he had killed him?
55310Did she guess the truth?
55310Did she write and tell you so?
55310Did you come here to insult me, sir?
55310Did you find anything likely to confirm your suspicions?
55310Did you not come to the Fen Inn on that fatal night when Francis came?
55310Did you ride to the Fen Inn from Marshminster?
55310Did you tell Felix of your engagement?
55310Did you tell Strent you had ridden from Starby?
55310Do I?
55310Do n''t I know my own name?
55310Do you dare to say that to me after all your vows and protestations? 55310 Do you know anything about the Fen Inn, Aunt Jane?"
55310Do you know he is engaged to Miss Bellin?
55310Do you know the Fen Inn?
55310Do you think I am mad?
55310Do you think he intended to kill his brother because he stood in his way with Miss Bellin?
55310Do you think he is guilty?
55310Do you think he killed Felix?
55310Do you think he''ll come to- night?
55310Do you think he''ll kill me?
55310Do you think she will denounce Strent?
55310Do you think so?
55310Does anyone go near it?
55310Does she know anything,I thought,"or does she believe Felix is really Francis?
55310Does she not guess the imposture?
55310For how long?
55310For what reason, when the removal of Francis would enable Felix to marry me under his false name?
55310For what reason?
55310Great Heavens, man, you surely do n''t doubt that I am Felix Briarfield?
55310Had she recognized that Felix was masquerading as you?
55310Had you an adventure?
55310Had you any idea who killed him?
55310Has he been staying here for any length of time?
55310Has not Mr. Briarfield told you?
55310Have you seen Strent?
55310Have you seen him since his return?
55310How are you, Denham?
55310How can I tell?
55310How can that be when Francis was at Bellin Hall, and Olivia said he had not been out of the house? 55310 How can that be when he whom you met is dead and Francis is alive?
55310How can that be? 55310 How can you persist in so foolish a story?"
55310How could I do otherwise when your statements were backed up by the manager? 55310 How could you tell that?"
55310How could you,said the doctor,"when the twins are alike in every respect?
55310How did you fly?
55310How did you get the horse back to Fundy''s stables, and what made you think of going to Bellin Hall?
55310How do you know that?
55310How far is it from Starby to the Fen Inn?
55310How so?
55310How would it do to see Felix at his chambers and bully him into confession?
55310I can not come; how can I-- how can I?
55310I told you about the discolored wound in the palm of the right hand?
55310I wonder if Felix is still in communication with Rose Strent?
55310If Felix Briarfield is in Paris,said I, handing back the letter to Olivia,"who was it I met at the Fen Inn last night?"
55310If the man was murdered, who would take the trouble to remove the corpse?
55310If you are the man you assert yourself to be, where is the pearl ring?
55310If you did, where is he now? 55310 In the morning?"
55310In what way?
55310Is Mr. Briarfield within?
55310Is that not dishonorable?
55310Is the body much decomposed?
55310Is the lady a friend of yours, sir?
55310Is there anything to mourn about, Aunt Jane?
55310Is there anything wrong?
55310Is this the arrowhead?
55310My own brother-- my twin brother,scoffed Francis;"is that any reason why he should take away from me the woman I love?"
55310Not even that you are Felix Briarfield?
55310Now, I''ll be bound,said he,"that you do n''t know my first name?"
55310Now, what do you intend to do next?
55310Of her own free will?
55310Olivia''s heart?
55310Perhaps you thought it was I whom you met at the inn?
55310Really?
55310Shall I go away?
55310Still, why did she want to marry him? 55310 That''s the young lady, sir, to whom Mr. Briarfield is engaged?"
55310That, I suppose, was also the reason of his flight?
55310The Fen Inn,he repeated, with a slight start;"what took you to that out of the way place?"
55310Then Paris?
55310Then how can you explain it?
55310Then to whose heart do you allude?
55310Then what about the landlord, who called himself Edward Strent?
55310Then what motive had I for so doing?
55310Then who is this man?
55310Then who was it?
55310There will simply be a row,said I;"what is the use of that?"
55310To whom were your letters sent?
55310Was he alone in the room when you left him?
55310Was she a pretty girl?
55310Was there any suspicion?
55310Well, Denham,said Felix, after a pause,"where is the dead body to whom you have given my name?"
55310Well, and your idea?
55310Well, what are you going to do next?
55310Were you in England within the last seven days?
55310Were you not afraid when you saw the Lone Inn?
55310What about Rose Gernon?
55310What about her?
55310What about the landlord?
55310What about this?
55310What are we waiting for?
55310What are you going to say, Denham?
55310What became of Strent?
55310What became of him?
55310What day of the month were you at the Fen Inn?
55310What did I tell you, Sophia?
55310What did he say?
55310What do you mean, Fundy?
55310What do you mean, Miss Gernon?
55310What do you mean, sir?
55310What do you mean?
55310What do you mean?
55310What do you mean?
55310What do you mean?
55310What do you mean?
55310What do you mean?
55310What do you think is best to be done?
55310What explanation does he make?
55310What explanation?
55310What has become of the Fen Inn?
55310What is strange?
55310What is the matter, Denham?
55310What is the matter, Mr. Denham? 55310 What made you come to me?"
55310What mysteries?
55310What time was this?
55310What was the position of the arrowhead?
55310What wind blows you here, Denham?
55310What''s that?
55310What''s the meaning of these mysteries?
55310What, Francis dead?
55310When did your brother Francis return to England from South America?
55310When does Mr. Felix Briarfield arrive?
55310Where are you going, Denham?
55310Where did he get the arrowhead?
55310Where did you get it?
55310Where did you meet her?
55310Where is she?
55310Where is the pearl ring you gave Francis, Miss Bellin?
55310Who are they? 55310 Who ever heard of an appointment being made at a ruined inn?
55310Who killed him, do you think?
55310Who killed him?
55310Who loved Olivia?
55310Why did you not give the alarm?
55310Why did you not tell Mr. Denham where to find Strent when he was apparently guilty?
55310Why did you not warn me of its danger? 55310 Why do you come here with these infamous tales, sir?"
55310Why had he brought the arrowhead there?
55310Why meet him in this murderous looking house?
55310Why neutral ground? 55310 Why not give the detective a picture of the man?"
55310Why not to- morrow morning?
55310Why not?
55310Why should Rose Gernon play the part of a waiting maid at the Fen Inn?
55310Why should she wish to screen a man who killed her lover?
55310Why so?
55310Why, whatever''s come over that old ruin? 55310 Will you come over to Marshminster and help me to solve the mystery?"
55310Will you leave your name, sir?
55310Wo n''t you come and hear her confession, Merrick?
55310Would they treat me in this way if they knew all?
55310Yes, Miss Bellin?
55310Yes; where did you get it?
55310You are engaged to her?
55310You are quite convinced that I am Felix?
55310You ca n''t expect a sufficient number to fill the house,he retorted;"surely Mr. Denham can have a bed?"
55310You do n''t believe my story?
55310You do n''t believe that Felix of Paris has gone to Italy or the East?
55310You do n''t mean to say it was Rose Strent?
55310You do n''t think she is the criminal, Merrick?
55310You do not, then, think my meeting with Francis Briarfield was an hallucination?
55310You find me altered?
55310You have not been near it lately?
55310You know what you have to do?
55310You love him greatly?
55310You mean that he followed me over?
55310You say that Felix is your lover?
55310You see the result of being one of twins,said I impatiently;"if at college I could not distinguish between you how can you expect me to do so now?
55310You struck him with the arrowhead?
55310You think I am in danger?
55310You think so?
55310You wo n''t believe that I am Francis?
55310You''ll see me through, Denham?
55310And for what reason?"
55310And her name?"
55310And if I really did know you were Francis, why did you not say so?"
55310And now,"she added, standing up,"I have told you all, may I go?"
55310And that is?"
55310Are gypsies encamped there?"
55310Are you going to accuse me of killing Felix?"
55310Are you not surprised at its simplicity?"
55310Assuming this to be the case, who was the man of the Fen Inn who called himself Francis?
55310Briarfield?"
55310But do n''t you think I would have guessed the identity of the one with the other?"
55310But how can it be managed?"
55310But in what way?
55310But what put it into your head to place the dead body of Felix in your bed?"
55310Ca n''t you understand the necessity of attending to so serious a matter without delay?
55310Can I go now?"
55310Could Felix have committed the crime?
55310Could it be possible that Olivia had discovered the imposture?
55310Denham?"
55310Denham?"
55310Denham?"
55310Denham?"
55310Did he look like her father?"
55310Did you have the pool dragged for the body?"
55310Did you not lose it, Francis?"
55310Do n''t I tell you that your brother is lying dead there?
55310Do n''t you call these mysteries?"
55310Do you think Felix promised to marry Rose if she helped him to get rid of his brother?"
55310FELIX OR FRANCIS?
55310Felix who tried to pass himself off as Francis, and then invented that lying story?
55310Have you anything very terrible to tell me?"
55310How do you know the murder was so executed?"
55310How is Francis Briarfield?"
55310How, then, had the assassin gained admittance?
55310I added, with a burst of bitterness,"what does it all mean?"
55310I said to Mr. Briarfield:''Will you marry my sister?''
55310I shall go to Paris, and if I do not find Felix there----""Well?"
55310If Felix thought the inn was empty, why did he appoint it as a meeting place for his brother?
55310If so, what of the landlord and his daughter?
55310If so, why did she tamely submit to marry a man whom she must know was guilty of his brother''s and her lover''s death?
55310If they were innocent why did they leave the inn?
55310Mr. Denham,"she added, turning to me as he suddenly stepped back,"do you say this gentleman is Felix?"
55310My theory was proved correct by the following dialogue: Myself:"Is Mr. Briarfield within?"
55310On the face of it, it looks absurd, and yet in what other way can I explain the absence of servants, the mildewed aspect of the rooms?
55310Shall I take to him your card?"
55310So Francis did not arrive in England until the 6th of June?"
55310That Francis Briarfield had come by his death in some foul fashion, and that at the hands of-- whom?
55310Then if you are innocent who is guilty?"
55310Then suppose I do tell the truth, and say you killed Felix?"
55310Well, Briarfield, and what about Miss Bellin?"
55310Well, how did you get to the Fen Inn?"
55310Were I in your place----""Were you in my place?"
55310What do you mean by saying such a thing?"
55310What else can he expect?
55310What in Heaven''s name took her to the Fen Inn?"
55310What is her name?"
55310What is it you wish to know?"
55310What reason could be sufficiently powerful to force them to vacate the premises?
55310What was the meaning of this sudden flight?
55310What''s up now?"
55310Where are your prisoners?"
55310Where is Felix?"
55310Where was the cook, the waiter, the hostler, the chambermaid?
55310Who is dead?"
55310Who is he?"
55310Who, then, was the man whom I had met at the inn?
55310Why did you examine my hands?"
55310Why did you not come and tell me about it all at once?"
55310Why did you tell me you loved me if it was but a lie?"
55310Why do you ask all these things?"
55310Why do you ask so strange a question?"
55310Why do you expect them to be marred?"
55310Why not clear up the mystery by bringing him here with you?"
55310Why should Francis meet Rose Gernon?"
55310Why should she risk her liberty for the sake of this man Strent?
55310Yet why should she desire his death?
55310You have found Rose Strent?"
55310You received my letter?"
55310You then acknowledge me to be Francis?"
55310could a woman make a mistake in so serious a matter?"
55310cried Merrick, highly delighted;"did Felix ride out to the Fen Inn and hide the body as I surmised?"
55310do you think I''ll be murdered in my sleep?"
55310eh?"
55310have you no natural affection?
55310he said in a low voice,"how did you come here?"
55310said she, with a sneer;"is that your game, sir?
5002''Tis me yez want to see?
5002A telegram?
5002A''n''wot about it, are you goin''to lemme go?
5002Am I to bat in his place?
5002And all the other bonds were unregistered?
5002And he is at liberty now?
5002And how are you, Grace?
5002And how much is that payment?
5002And so you are going to be a real business man, are you, Tom?
5002And we are glad to be back, Jack,returned Tom, and added quickly:"How is my father?"
5002And what are you going to do with Jesse Pelter?
5002And what do you think? 5002 And what does she say about dad?"
5002And when does the Princess Lenida sail?
5002And you are sure he has gone to the steamer?
5002And you have n''t got the least idea then who took the bonds?
5002And you have no idea who the man was?
5002And you left the ring in the inkwell?
5002And you say the box was put in the safe my uncle used to own?
5002And you say this twenty thousand dollars has got to be paid a week from to- day?
5002Any one here to see me, Bob?
5002Are n''t you coming over here to get us?
5002Are n''t you glad that the closing day is so near?
5002Are you doing anything as yet?
5002Are you goin''to let me go now?
5002Are you going to the Outlook Hotel, too?
5002Are you on the trail of Pelter, too?
5002Are you quite sure, Tom, that you want to go into a moving picture show?
5002Are you the Rovers?
5002Are you working in New York?
5002Back safe and sound, eh? 5002 Back, safe an''sound, eh?"
5002Boys, you wo n''t disturb your father, will you?
5002But Pelter and Japson knew that combination, did n''t they, Dick?
5002But how can we do it?
5002But say, did you notice what Miss Parsons wants to know-- if Nellie put the ring in the inkwell? 5002 But tell us privately, William, are you going to depend on a straight ball and speed, or are you going to give them some curves and fadeaways?"
5002But what are we going to do if the bonds are not found?
5002But what of Miss Harrow? 5002 But what''s the matter with lashing a couple of them together?
5002But when you have n''t any clews, how are you going to strike out?
5002By the way, Tom,said Sam, after reading the letter from Dick,"this puts me in mind: What became of that fellow we hauled out of the river?"
5002By the way, do you know where Mr. Pelter is just now?
5002By the way, what has become of your uncle?
5002By the yard?
5002Ca n''t you come down by the stairs?
5002Can we go up now?
5002Can you tell me where he went to?
5002Can you tell me who is in the habit of cleaning this particular office?
5002Can you tell us anything about this Barton Pelter?
5002Come to see us in the movies, did you?
5002Dick, do n''t you think we had better send word to New York?
5002Dick, do you think the janitor of the building could be in this?
5002Dick, that will put us in something of a hole, wo n''t it?
5002Did all of the girls get out?
5002Did anybody else have the combination, Dick?
5002Did he know you?
5002Did he say anything about bonds or money?
5002Did he say anything about that four- hundred- dollar diamond ring that was missing?
5002Did he say for whom?
5002Did he say what he was doing, or what he proposes to do?
5002Did he seem to come from these offices?
5002Did he tell you where he was staying?
5002Did n''t I tell you gents the ring was there?
5002Did n''t somebody go into the office after you were there?
5002Did she know the man?
5002Did somebody hold you up, or try to steal your purse?
5002Did you ever see such an auto- truck as that, and running at such speed?
5002Did you have a nice trip?
5002Did you hear anything about it at all?
5002Did you hear him ask about the combination on the safe? 5002 Did you put it there?"
5002Did you say you knew him?
5002Did you see the moving picture again?
5002Did you speak to him?
5002Did your daughter say how the man was dressed?
5002Do I remember them? 5002 Do n''t you think it''s about time you boys started back for college?"
5002Do n''t you think we have heard enough?
5002Do n''t you think we ought to call on him? 5002 Do you know the dock from which the Princess Lenida sails?"
5002Do you know what I''d like to do, Sam?
5002Do you know where it is from?
5002Do you know who is in charge there during the summer?
5002Do you mean to insult me?
5002Do you realize that if we expect to do anything this spring, we have got to get busy?
5002Do you remember about that diamond ring that disappeared at Hope while you were there?
5002Do you remember those days, Tom?
5002Do you see anything of him?
5002Do you suppose he has any money?
5002Do you suppose that boy suspects anything?
5002Do you think Brill will win, Tom? 5002 Do you think I write for such a class of publications as that?"
5002Do you think that Uncle Randolph had much money invested with father?
5002Do you think we''ll lose any money?
5002Do you think you can make him open up if he comes?
5002Do you want to keep us here all day?
5002Does n''t that look like a fire?
5002Dog journals?
5002Dora, do you think he had been drinking? 5002 During the past four or five days, have you noticed anything unusual around this office?"
5002Eh? 5002 Filbury, ca n''t you say something about Brill and this glorious victory?"
5002Girls, what shall it be?
5002Going to have one of those new up- to- date, clean ones, I suppose?
5002Going to take some more pictures here?
5002Got him out in your auto? 5002 Had n''t you better send that office boy out for a little while?"
5002Has Miss Harrow said anything more about it to you?
5002Has n''t Tom pitched pretty well?
5002Have n''t the detectives been able to locate that fellow they thought might be guilty?
5002Have n''t they got a ladder handy?
5002Have n''t you any clews to the robbery?
5002Have n''t you heard about the sea serpents they have seen at Atlantic City?
5002Have you any idea where he is stopping in Philadelphia?
5002Have you any idea where they went to?
5002Have you been writing any poetry to- day?
5002Have you gone over all the papers, Dick?
5002Have you heard anything more about the missing ring?
5002Have you notified the police?
5002Have you taken your picture of the railroad station yet?
5002Have you told him about this telegram?
5002He did? 5002 Help me?
5002Hi, what does this mean?
5002How about it?
5002How about the toothache?
5002How about those missing bonds; have you located them yet?
5002How are they going to divide this year?
5002How are you fellows making out at your offices?
5002How are you, Aunt Martha? 5002 How are you?"
5002How can you be so cruel and degrade poetry so?
5002How did it happen?
5002How did you get here?
5002How did you get onto this game?
5002How did you learn he had been here?
5002How did you make out?
5002How soon are you going to look for the man?
5002How soon do you think they will show that picture?
5002How would he know anything about that, Tom? 5002 I say, Sam, ca n''t you listen for just a moment?"
5002I told you the truth, did n''t I?
5002I wonder if Dick will be on hand to meet us?
5002I wonder if he is still in Ashton?
5002I wonder who he can be?
5002I''d like to know who they are?
5002If he wanted that, Sam, would n''t he send us word? 5002 If you have no record of the transaction here, can you not ask your father about it?"
5002In that case, how do we know the teacher did n''t take the ring herself?
5002Is father worse?
5002Is he in bed?
5002Is he well off-- that is, does he appear to have much money?
5002Is he-- he-- dead?
5002Is his name Grimes?
5002Is it a fight?
5002Is it an old safe?
5002Is n''t it too deep for an automobile?
5002Is she all ready, Ab?
5002Is she safe?
5002Is something wrong here?
5002Is that so? 5002 Is that so?
5002Is that the Miss Harrow who lost that four- hundred- dollar diamond ring?
5002Is that the Princess Lenida?
5002Is that the way to use the money my brother''s wife loaned you?
5002Is there a man stopping here named Andy Royce?
5002Is there nobody else around attached to the old firm?
5002Is this Mr. Crowley Pelter''s residence?
5002Is this the one who helped to pull me out of the river?
5002It certainly is a fire, and at the seminary, is n''t it, Tom?
5002It''s better than looking at yourself in the looking- glass, is n''t it?
5002Looks good, does n''t it?
5002Me pitch for you?
5002Mr. Crabtree, did I ever deceive you?
5002Mr. Richard Rover, I believe?
5002Now that this bridge is down, how can we get over the river?
5002Now would n''t you like to have it?
5002Now, first of all, Dick, tell us: Will this loss affect any of our other investments?
5002Of course it was locked?
5002Of course the safe was locked?
5002Of course they have questioned the hired help?
5002Of course, you are not going in bathing?
5002Oh, Tom, are you sure of this?
5002Oh, Tom, do you really think I ought to go?
5002Oh, Tom, how did you do it?
5002Oh, did you have a breakdown?
5002Oh, do you think that possible?
5002Oh, is that it?
5002Oh, so you saw it, did you?
5002Oh, you do n''t want to telephone to him, do you?
5002Phat are ye after mainin''?
5002Remember the day we flew over this way in the biplane?
5002Sam, you pay the fellow, will you?
5002Sam,whispered Tom, catching his brother, by the arm,"what''s the matter with giving William Philander a ride with old Filbury?"
5002Saved a fellow from drowning, eh?
5002Say, Sam, what do you want, some clews made to order?
5002Say, Tubbs, explain this, wo n''t you?
5002Say, Uncle,put in Tom, with a sudden twinkle in his eye,"are you going to sell pork by the yard after this?"
5002Say, do you want me to call the janitor? 5002 Say, is this a trap?"
5002Say, was that all right?
5002Say, what am I to do with her?
5002Say, whose baseball mitt is this anyway?
5002See here, Rover, ca n''t we-- er-- fix this little matter up somehow?
5002See here, if I stake you with another ten dollars, will you give me your word not to drink it up?
5002See that fellow over there, leaning against the fence, reading a newspaper?
5002Shall I shoot him now?
5002Shall I tell him?
5002Sixty- four thousand, dollars, did you be after sayin''?
5002So if you did n''t take it, who did?
5002So they can be used by any one?
5002Sounds good, Tom, but even if we went after, supper, could we get there in time? 5002 Stolen from the safe, you mean?"
5002Supposing it is n''t paid?
5002That dude launching a fadeaway? 5002 That''s all?"
5002The question is: Who is he and where did he go?
5002Then why not telegraph to her?
5002Then you''ll leave Brill for good?
5002There is no fooling about this, Rover?
5002This moving picture business is a great thing, is n''t it?
5002Tom, do you see him anywhere?
5002Tom, do you think we had better go in?
5002Want me to help, Tom?
5002Want to leave any word for him?
5002Wants to see me, eh?
5002Was anything else taken, Dick?
5002Was he a big man?
5002Was he in this office, Bob?
5002Was her room in that addition?
5002Was it-- er-- er-- was it-- er-- that is, did you have the same combination on it that the lock used to have?
5002Was she in the building?
5002Was that all right?
5002Was the window open at the time?
5002Well, are n''t we?
5002Well, if you feel that way, Tom, why do n''t you break away and go? 5002 Well, what about accommodations for the girls?"
5002Well, what happened next?
5002Well, what if I did? 5002 Well, why in the world did you do that?"
5002Well-- er-- well-- er-- supposing I did help you?
5002Were this Barton Pelter and his uncle on good terms?
5002What are we going to do about it?
5002What book is that, Tom?
5002What caused it?
5002What could he say? 5002 What did Mr. Powell have to say about it?"
5002What did he have to say?
5002What did they do?
5002What did this Barton Pelter want?
5002What do they propose to do next?
5002What do you know about this gun? 5002 What do you make of this, Tom?"
5002What do you mean, Dick?
5002What do you mean?
5002What do you mean?
5002What do you say, Tom, if we go down to the river and have a swim?
5002What do you suppose it is all about, Tom?
5002What do you think of it?
5002What do you think of us, Dora?
5002What do you want here, Miss Laning?
5002What does the seminary management have to say about it?
5002What has Nellie to say about it, Tom?
5002What has happened?
5002What have you got now?
5002What is back there?
5002What is his first name?
5002What is his name?
5002What is it, Tom?
5002What is it? 5002 What is it?
5002What is it? 5002 What is on the docket for to- night?"
5002What is that you said, Tom?
5002What now, Tom?
5002What was it about?
5002What was that?
5002What was that?
5002What you want, anyhow?
5002What''s it all about?
5002What''s that, Tom?
5002What''s the matter with a song?
5002What''s the matter with giving us a joy ride?
5002What''s the matter with half a dozen, while we are at it?
5002What''s the matter with keeping it up?
5002What''s the matter with my driving the car?
5002What''s the matter with running the car down to where they are, and hitching fast?
5002What''s the matter, Jack?
5002What''s the matter?
5002What? 5002 What?
5002When are you going to get out that book of poetry?
5002When was all this?
5002When was this?
5002When will we see you again?
5002Where are they?
5002Where are you going on your wedding tour, Tom?
5002Where are you going to live after you are married, Tom?
5002Where are you going, my dear William Philander?
5002Where did he learn to pitch?
5002Where do you want to go?
5002Where is Nellie?
5002Where is Songbird?
5002Where is he?
5002Where is he?
5002Where is it? 5002 Where is mine?"
5002Where is she?
5002Where''s the poetry for the occasion, Songbird?
5002Who are they cheering?
5002Who is this Hank the Bluffer?
5002Who put him on the team?
5002Who said I knew anything about that ring?
5002Who sent that?
5002Who was it? 5002 Who was that?"
5002Who''s there?
5002Why did I do it?
5002Why do n''t you send it to some of the dog journals? 5002 Why not take him right down to Ashton to Doctor Havens?"
5002Why not? 5002 Why should we blame him?"
5002Why, is n''t she out?
5002Why, what do you mean?
5002Why, what''s the matter now, Jack?
5002Why, what''s up now, Dick?
5002Why, where did you meet him?
5002Why, who told you such a story as that?
5002Wot ye want?
5002Wot''s the matter, huh? 5002 Would n''t he be surprised?"
5002Would n''t we rather remain at Hope than go to Brill?
5002Would you mind telling me what this picture is going to be called?
5002You are the janitor of this building?
5002You certainly must have a strenuous time of it,declared Sam; and then he added quickly:"Are you going to New York with us?"
5002You had them in a box, and put the box in your safe? 5002 You have no word in regard to the bonds?"
5002You mean Jesse Pelter''s nephew-- the chap you hauled out of the river?
5002You mean it would help me here?
5002You say they were in a new japanned box that was locked?
5002You sent for me?
5002You''ll give me fifty dollars?
5002You-- you are now in business where my uncle used to be, are you not?
5002Your daughter saw that man in the hallway?
5002Your father-- is he not here?
5002And then as he sat up and stared at the brothers, he added:"Did-- did you sa-- save me?"
5002And then catching her arm tightly, he whispered:"It is our turn next, is n''t it?"
5002Aronson?"
5002Bronson?"
5002But Sam will come back, wo n''t he?"
5002But if I have to go to New York, why ca n''t you go, too?"
5002But what I was going to say was this: Are you going to play on our baseball team this Spring?
5002But you must know the suit, do n''t you?"
5002By the way, Songbird, have n''t the Sandersons a new watchdog?"
5002By the way, do you think he can be any relative of Jesse Pelter, the rascal who knocked me out with the footstool, and who tried his best to rob dad?"
5002By the way, how is she, all right?"
5002CHAPTER IV A FOUR- HUNDRED- DOLLAR RING"Did you see this ring, Nellie?"
5002CHAPTER XX BARTON PELTER AGAIN"Well, Dick, any news?"
5002CHAPTER XXIV ANDY ROYCE''S CONFESSION"Want to talk to me, eh?"

5002Ca n''t you finish the theme after we get back?
5002Can I see him?"
5002Can you beat that for action?"
5002Come down here to see us defeat you, eh?"
5002Did Miss Laning put it there?
5002Did he say where he was stopping?"
5002Did not your father tell you about his investment in the Sharon Valley Land Company?"
5002Did some fellow sneak into your offices and take them?"
5002Did you lose much?"
5002Do you know him?"
5002Do you know what this theme is on?"
5002Do you mean the safe that was in the offices when my uncle and Mr. Japson had it?"
5002Do you mean to say he has left?"
5002Do you think everybody is out?"
5002Do you want me to send to the stateroom for you?"
5002Either of you fellows want to come along?"
5002From where?"
5002How about it, Dick?"
5002How are you this evening?"
5002How did he look?"
5002How has she treated Nellie since the fire?"
5002How is business with you?"
5002How much money have you left of that ten dollars my brother''s wife let you have?"
5002How on earth are you going to any of the fashionable dances in that condition?"
5002I saw that diamond ring layin''on the desk, and I picked it up----""You were going to steal it?"
5002I suppose you-- er-- you-- er-- got my letter?"
5002I wonder if it came over the Paxton River bridge?"
5002If I was n''t, how would I a- seen that ring?
5002In what way?"
5002It''s a miserable affair all around, is n''t it?"
5002It''s the truth, is n''t it?"
5002Mr. Bronson, what do you want to do with them?"
5002Now then, why should n''t you help us to locate him?"
5002Only tell me, are n''t we going to be married some time this Fall or Winter?"
5002Phat did they be after takin''?"
5002Powell?"
5002Sam had also provided a placard which read:"Are we happy?
5002Say, boss, ai n''t you kiddin''?"
5002Say, have n''t they got a pair of field glasses here?"
5002So you are following us up, are you?"
5002So you want to find Jesse Pelter, and you''ll give me fifty dollars if I''ll help you do it?
5002Supposing I do n''t care to tell you where he is?"
5002Then that lets Pelter and Japson out, does n''t it?"
5002Then you are transacting his business for him?"
5002Was he going from Philadelphia to Europe?"
5002Was n''t the door already open?"
5002Was there anybody in this office during my absence?"
5002What did the talk mean?
5002What do you see?"
5002What do you think I ought to give him?"
5002What do you think of that, Sam?"
5002What does this mean?"
5002What have fleas to do with this poetry?"
5002What right has she to accuse Nellie?"
5002What sort of poetry can you get up about dogs?
5002What was it?"
5002What would you say if I were to intimate you had taken the four- hundred- dollar ring?"
5002What''s the matter with a trip to Coney Island, or something like that?"
5002What''s the news?"
5002What''s the use of crying about it now?"
5002What?"
5002When you went to the hospital he practically deserted you, is n''t that right?"
5002Who said anything about fleas?"
5002Why ca n''t we get out the auto and pay a visit to Hope?
5002Why not let him go?
5002You do n''t imagine that there is anything wrong about it?"
5002You do n''t suppose for one minute that that is going to make any difference to me, do you?"
5002You mean sausage lengths, eh?"
5002You would n''t deprive a poor, innocent dog of his inheritance, would you?"
5002do you think Brill will win?"
5002have any of you see Miss Harrow?"
5002how could you do so?"
5002is he a baseball pitcher?"
5002what did n''t they do?"
5002what is the use of your drinking like this?"
5002what sort of a noise is that?"
5002what''s the matter?"
5002you sure do n''t think that I took them bonds?"
57631A woman?
57631And Charles Pitt- Heron?
57631And if not?
57631And the next?
57631And what brings you here?
57631And you?
57631As you have fixed the hour of eight, may I offer you dinner?
57631But if those extra- social brains are so potent, why after all do they effect so little? 57631 But supposing I do n''t want to go?"
57631But where do you propose to take me?
57631But why should n''t a man go to Moscow if he wants?
57631Do n''t you see,I told him,"that you are playing Lumley''s game?
57631Do we really get the best brains working on the side of the compact? 57631 Do you happen to know,"I asked,"if he ever uses another name?
57631Do you think you can play against me without suffering desperate penalties?
57631Have you been dining here? 57631 How should I be able to tell you?
57631If you believe me to be, as you say, a dangerous criminal, how do you reconcile it with your conscience to give me a chance of escape? 57631 Mr. Andrew Lumley?"
57631Mr. Levison,I said,"have you a back door?"
57631Next?
57631Over?
57631Over?
57631So you have not forgotten our evening''s talk? 57631 The wrong side of the law?"
57631What about yourself?
57631What have you done?
57631What is the name of it?
57631What the''ell''s wrong with me?
57631What''s the good of waiting for these devils to down you? 57631 Who done it?"
57631Will you allow them to outrage your kitchen-- an Embassy kitchen too-- without your consent?
57631Will you have a glass of champagne?
57631Will you let me use it? 57631 You know Tommy Deloraine?"
57631You were saying----?
57631And he has spoken of me to you?"
57631Are you going to go back on the man who has been a good friend to you?"
57631Are you there?"
57631But can you conceive a missive more calculated to shatter a woman''s nerves?
57631But do you imagine that the clumsy submarine or the fragile aeroplane is really the last word of science?"
57631But does it?
57631But how do you know that I regard them as failure?
57631But on what ground?
57631By the way, what is it?"
57631Can you help me?"
57631Did you ever reflect, Mr. Leithen, how precarious is the tenure of the civilisation we boast about?"
57631Do n''t you wish you were coming with me?"
57631Do you hear?"
57631Do you know what it is to deal with a pure intelligence, a brain stripped of every shred of humanity?
57631Have you ever reflected on the case of China?
57631Have you never met him?
57631He will trap you sooner or later into some escapade which will land you in jail, and where will I be then?
57631How can we square these policemen?
57631How does one do that in telegraphese?"
57631I put it to you-- how far are you likely to succeed under these conditions?"
57631If you call in your men and strangle me between you what earthly good would it do you?"
57631Is he like you in any way?"
57631Money?"
57631Monsieur will forgive me?
57631Of a sort?
57631Or with Tuke?
57631So you know my young friend, Pitt- Heron?"
57631Suppose these two fellows at Bokhara, wanting to make a long trek into wild country-- how would they go?
57631Vill you follow, sir?"
57631Was there ever such a moth- eaten old museum?"
57631What is the motive of those diabolical brains?"
57631What makes you think that I can work only if I live in the limelight of popularity?"
57631What possessed you to come to look for me?"
57631What possible trouble could there be?
57631Where is the inducement for a man of genius to sell his brains to our insipid governors?
57631Will you take me at once to Monsieur Felix?"
57631Would it be possible for the master of the house to assist me to get to my destination near Farnham?
57631You are a connoisseur?
57631You have been highly successful in the past, and why?
34939A boy, was n''t it? 34939 A copy made by my father?"
34939A dog?
34939A pilgrimage? 34939 A serious reason?"
34939A son that you never knew, in a manner of speaking, because he was kidnapped by your father?
34939A trap- door?
34939A what?
34939Ah, is that you, Patrice?
34939Ah, you know?
34939All the same what?
34939All the same, you would rather have had another solution?
34939All''s Well?
34939Am I not right to?
34939And All''s Well? 34939 And after that, Ma''me Honorine?"
34939And after that, Ma''me Honorine?
34939And his character?
34939And how will you live?
34939And if we do n''t?
34939And in the evening?
34939And it was he who fell upon you, with the woman, in your cell?
34939And my son?
34939And suppose I refuse?
34939And suppose he does n''t hold out at all?
34939And suppose that blasted Druid has friends?
34939And suppose the enemy arrives in the meantime? 34939 And the attack was quite unexpected?"
34939And the enemy ca n''t get there?
34939And the part played by Elfride? 34939 And then-- and this is what I was coming to-- what name will he bear himself?"
34939And then?
34939And then?
34939And what do you call it?
34939And what was it about?
34939And what''s to prevent us from leaving at once?
34939And when shall we start?
34939And where does the road start from that brought you here?
34939And where have you been?
34939And with it?
34939And you have made no discovery since?
34939And you lost sight of the two after a shipwreck?
34939And you think that my father will give me a good welcome?
34939And you took them by surprise?
34939And you want your son to die?
34939And you were left alone on the island, poor mother? 34939 And you''re determined to go on to the end?"
34939And you, Otto?
34939And you, mother,he said,"do you think that I ever pictured a mother as beautiful as you?
34939And you?
34939And, you artful dog, you intended to skedaddle in her?
34939Are they lovely?
34939Are you a prince of Almain?
34939Are you sure of that?
34939Are you sure that you never saw him?
34939Are you sure?
34939Are you sure?
34939Are you sure?
34939Are you there now?
34939At once?
34939At what I''m going to tell you?
34939But are n''t you afraid?
34939But by what right? 34939 But does he know about me?"
34939But does he know the part which Vorski played?
34939But from whom? 34939 But grandfather?"
34939But have n''t you seen them since they have kept you here?
34939But how are we to get away?
34939But how are we to get down? 34939 But how did you know that?
34939But is it quite certain?
34939But since then?
34939But the man, the scoundrel: what had he threatened to do to you?
34939But the two shots?
34939But under what name?
34939But what am I to say? 34939 But what other solution was there?
34939But what?
34939But who are they? 34939 But who was he?"
34939But who was it?
34939But who?
34939But why? 34939 But why?"
34939But you, Ma''me Honorine?
34939But you, madame?
34939But your sister, the one on her back?
34939But, Honorine, if they were hiding, why do they show themselves now?
34939But, look here, Don Luis, what is this miraculous stone?
34939But,said Véronique,"the stone also had harmful properties, for it gave death as well as life?"
34939By whom?
34939Called what?
34939Commissioned by whom?
34939Did you look in?
34939Did you put them under there? 34939 Did you see them?"
34939Disappeared? 34939 Do n''t kill her, mother, will you?"
34939Do n''t you hear?
34939Do n''t you see the boats?
34939Do you admit it?
34939Do you hear anything?
34939Do you know him?
34939Do you know the man? 34939 Do you know what you remind me of?"
34939Do you see her, Stéphane?
34939Do you think so too, Stéphane?
34939Do you think that Vorski did not end by discovering our collaboration, which is one of the obvious causes of his defeat? 34939 Do you want me to prove it to you?"
34939Does he know that I''m alive?
34939Does he live far from here?
34939Eh? 34939 Everything all right there?"
34939Everything?
34939Explanation? 34939 Fire on me?"
34939For what? 34939 For whom?"
34939François not there? 34939 François?
34939François?
34939François?
34939Frightened of what?
34939Glad to be back?
34939Gone to look for me?
34939Hang it, what''s he doing?
34939Happy? 34939 Has she spoken to you?"
34939Have they found the entrance?
34939Have you forgotten Maguennoc? 34939 Have you slain your thirty victims?"
34939He is alive, he is alive?
34939Her ladyship did n''t carry on too much?
34939Here?
34939His schooling? 34939 How am I wrong?
34939How are we, Master All''s Well? 34939 How could I have succeeded without his help?
34939How could he?
34939How did you know that?
34939How do we know?
34939How do you account for the resemblance between the crucified woman and myself?
34939How do you know, mother?
34939How do you know? 34939 How do you know?
34939How do you know?
34939How do you make that out?
34939How do you mean, you do n''t know?
34939How is it possible? 34939 How should I know?"
34939How? 34939 How?
34939How?
34939How?
34939I do n''t know you, do I?
34939I say once more: how do you know that?
34939If you dare n''t look, it''s because you''ve guessed or because you''re on the point of guessing, you wretch: am I right? 34939 In that case,"Otto remarked,"he is dead?"
34939In that case?
34939Insults? 34939 Is any help really possible?"
34939Is he your son, the murderer, the monster?
34939Is it far?
34939Is it here?
34939Is it here?
34939Is it the God- Stone?
34939Is it worth troubling about?
34939Is n''t Marie Le Goff there? 34939 Is that it?"
34939Is that the God- Stone?
34939Is that your mother''s ring all right?
34939Is there anybody behind the wall?
34939Is there anything to betray my presence? 34939 Is there one here?"
34939Is your name Vorski?
34939Is your signature here?
34939It was All''s Well?
34939It''s the ladder, is n''t it?
34939Just so: why believe anything of the sort? 34939 Laugh at what, dear?"
34939Legs feeling better?
34939Look here, what''s all this about? 34939 Look here,"repeated the boy,"why does n''t Honorine come to set me free?
34939Lord bless me, yes, his son: why should n''t I be? 34939 Lord, why?"
34939Mad? 34939 Madeleine Ferrand?"
34939Maguennoc? 34939 Maguennoc?"
34939My darling,says Véronique,"are n''t you afraid of boring Don Luis?"
34939No one in the tunnel? 34939 No, François is never ill.""What then?"
34939Not too tired, Vorski?
34939Oh, but you have n''t killed him?
34939Oh, why does she stay?
34939Oh,cried the Breton woman,"what''s that?
34939Oh,she murmured,"is it I who am trembling like this?
34939On Vorski, yes; but surely not on me, his daughter? 34939 On the other side of the island then?"
34939Only what?
34939Otto? 34939 Over there, to your island?"
34939Over there?
34939Pay up what? 34939 Perhaps he''s ill?"
34939Quite sure?
34939Really? 34939 Remorse, Madame Véronique?
34939She remained, of course, while you were away?
34939Shoot, ca n''t you, you idiots? 34939 Shut up, will you, you old fool?"
34939So I shall see him?
34939So that you know nothing?
34939So there''s no arrangement to be made?
34939So we have your word?
34939So you do n''t unduly regret the miracle of the God- Stone?
34939So you know me?
34939So you think she''s like her?
34939So you want to know if that woman is myself?
34939So, after all, Don Luis Perenna has not been informed?
34939Something? 34939 Still what?"
34939Still what?
34939Suppose I do?
34939Suppose he himself expires, from too violent an effort, heart- failure, a clot of blood to the head?
34939That?
34939The Druids?
34939The future?
34939The one hanging at the foot of the cliff?
34939The people of old of whom the legends speak? 34939 The people of old?"
34939The time we want for what?
34939Then he succeeded in doing so?
34939Then that''s_ it_?
34939Then there is a stone,asked Patrice, almost chaffingly,"which can naturally give health and strength?
34939Then they take as a prophecy,said Véronique,"the words which I read on Maguennoc''s drawing and again on the Fairies''Dolmen?"
34939Then they''re ghosts?
34939Then what do you say it is?
34939Then what do you say to it all, eh? 34939 Then what is?"
34939Then what?
34939Then what?
34939Then who is it?
34939Then why did n''t they come to the Priory instead of taking to flight in the boats?
34939Then why do you write it down?
34939Then you are still hoping?
34939Then you believe that she''s a live woman?
34939Then you''re still determined?
34939There''s no hiding- place on that side?
34939There''s nothing to delay us, is there, no obstacle? 34939 They live down here, though?"
34939Those who attacked you and François, therefore?
34939To me?
34939Uncomfortable?
34939Very little?
34939Very well,said Patrice,"but still you did n''t ask him to kill Vorski?"
34939Very well,said Stéphane,"but where did that particle of pure radium come from?
34939Watched by whom?
34939Well, are we going to start?
34939Well, granting that they do find it, have n''t we just blocked the exit on this side, broken down the staircase, thrown everything topsy- turvy? 34939 Well, was n''t I here?"
34939Well, what''s up, old chap?
34939Well,she said,"what''s preventing me?"
34939Well? 34939 Well?"
34939Well?
34939Well?
34939Well?
34939Well?
34939Were you so fond of your Elfride as all that? 34939 What about petrol?"
34939What about the bridge?
34939What about the treasure?
34939What am I to do?
34939What are the miracles in question?
34939What are we going to do?
34939What are you afraid of?
34939What can have become of Stéphane?
34939What can you be afraid of, Honorine? 34939 What connection can there be between the people of to- day and those of long ago?
34939What did he do?
34939What did you expect? 34939 What do I care?
34939What do I mean? 34939 What do you call it?
34939What do you call that?
34939What do you expect them to do?
34939What do you mean, my object? 34939 What do you mean, you wo n''t?
34939What do you mean? 34939 What do you mean?
34939What do you mean?
34939What do you mean?
34939What do you mean?
34939What do you mean?
34939What do you mean?
34939What do you say to that, Madame Véronique? 34939 What do you want?
34939What does it mean?
34939What does it mean?
34939What does my boy wear?
34939What for, darling?
34939What for?
34939What is it, Conrad?
34939What is it?
34939What is it?
34939What is it?
34939What knife?
34939What makes you say that?
34939What means?
34939What news?
34939What of it, seeing that you''ve robbed me of what''s mine by rights?
34939What power?
34939What proofs?
34939What sort of things?
34939What time was it when the three of you were locked in?
34939What tree?
34939What was he going over for?
34939What was in the cabin?
34939What was it? 34939 What''s that you say?
34939What''s that? 34939 What''s that?"
34939What''s the matter, M''ame Honorine? 34939 What''s the matter?"
34939What''s the matter?
34939What, she''s asleep?
34939What, you had a confederate?
34939What? 34939 What?
34939What? 34939 What?
34939What?
34939What?
34939What?
34939What?
34939When was that, Corréjou?
34939Where can Conrad be?
34939Where did he go to?
34939Where did you get that from?
34939Where is she?
34939Where''s the third?
34939Where? 34939 Where?"
34939Where?
34939Where?
34939Which was that?
34939Which way?
34939Which wife? 34939 Who am I?
34939Who am I?
34939Who killed him, do you think?
34939Who was your father?
34939Who''s there? 34939 Who''s to say they were n''t telling lies?"
34939Who''s_ they_?
34939Who?
34939Whom are you calling?
34939Whom does he play with? 34939 Whose son will he believe himself to be?
34939Why alarm yourself, mother? 34939 Why did n''t Honorine come with you?"
34939Why does n''t she shut it at once,Véronique wondered,"since she obviously wants to put a barrier between us?"
34939Why in the Priory?
34939Why not?
34939Why not?
34939Why should it be? 34939 Why should they tell lies?"
34939Why should we be lost?
34939Why should we? 34939 Why wait?
34939Why? 34939 Why?
34939Why? 34939 Why?
34939Why?
34939Why?
34939Why?
34939Why?
34939With what object?
34939With whom?
34939Would you recognize that woman''s hand?
34939Would you refuse to go shares with me?
34939Yes, yes; and then?
34939Yes; and then?
34939Yes?
34939You do n''t mean that?
34939You do n''t remember that they were Breton names?
34939You had a child by him?
34939You hate me more than everything?
34939You know? 34939 You married a man called Vorski, who said he was a Pole?"
34939You married him after there was a scandal about his running off with you and after a quarrel between you and your father?
34939You promise not to laugh, mother?
34939You propose to call him?
34939You refuse to answer?
34939You see, mother? 34939 You suspect, of course?"
34939You villain, what have you done?
34939You will never give in?
34939You''re going, you''re going; but what''s your plan?
34939You''re not thinking of running away, are you? 34939 You''re sure it''s you who have been thwarting all my plans these last few days?"
34939Your tutor? 34939 ?
34939?"
34939?"
34939?"
34939?"
34939A boy friend of François''?
34939A boy of your own size?"
34939A child, imprisoned in the island?
34939A diverting puerile fantasy?
34939A mascot?
34939A meaningless caprice?
34939A miracle perhaps?
34939A ray of light blinded his eyes: and he spluttered, in alarm:"What is it?
34939A revolver?
34939A slave understands her duty, which is blindly to obey, bound hand and foot,_ perinde ac cadaver_; does the part appeal to you?
34939A walk with Honorine?
34939About either of the two brats?
34939About the lady we''re executing?
34939According to you, this was a particle of radium?"
34939Ah, the pain is beginning to grow serious, is it?
34939All Véronique''s apprehensions returned:"And suppose they make their way out of the tunnel meanwhile?"
34939All that I''m saying exactly expresses the truth?"
34939All''s well, is n''t it?
34939Am I right?"
34939An enemy?
34939And Honorine was right, when she spoke of a fit of madness, and he will come back to look for me, wo n''t he?
34939And Madame Honorine?"
34939And a spreading beard?
34939And be sure not to try and come in when the hole is stopped, eh, All''s Well?
34939And do you imagine that Master Otto did not foresee this contingency?
34939And how did you learn the story?"
34939And in view of what horrible task, of what monstrous duty?
34939And in what capacity?"
34939And not a word, do you hear?
34939And she rapped out:"Are you sure?
34939And so would my third judge, eh, All''s Well, you sensitive, tearful fellow?
34939And suppose the boy''s ill?"
34939And that stone is the God- Stone?"
34939And that suggests a horrible thought: perhaps he did not live?
34939And the God- Stone, what about it?
34939And then?
34939And this?
34939And was it not an unworthy curiosity that had prompted her to make the attempt?
34939And what a leader, eh, mother?
34939And what did that so- called power consist of exactly?"
34939And what put you on the track of that?"
34939And what was he doing here?
34939And where was the deserted cabin?"
34939And who could have affixed it there, on a deserted cabin, in this Brittany where she had never been before?
34939And who drove bullets through my best Sunday robe?
34939And who was it that M. d''Hergemont had apostrophized as a monster and a murderer?
34939And why did n''t we come and pay our master a visit yesterday?
34939And you know what''s written here?"
34939And you''ll get on with the work?"
34939And you, Conrad?
34939And you, you hope that my eyes will be wet with tears?
34939And, above all, why was the inscription here, at this spot?
34939And, on the other hand, how did old Maguennoc come to leave the island?
34939And, when the other stared at him with a look of surprise, he repeated, in a louder voice:"Answer me, ca n''t you?
34939Another squabble?
34939Answer me, Otto, ca n''t you?"
34939Are all our men on board?"
34939Are they hurting you?
34939Are they there?
34939Are we agreed?"
34939Are you appeased now, my friends?
34939Are you both going on strike?"
34939Are you feeling in a chatty mood?"
34939Are you ready, Conrad?
34939Are you ready, Véronique?
34939Are you ready?
34939Are you ready?"
34939Are you ready?"
34939Are you sure?"
34939Are you thirsty, Vorski?"
34939Are you wriggling out of it?
34939Are your trousers on fire?
34939At what moment did he manage to take our revolvers from our pockets and put them back after drawing the charges?
34939Besides, how could she resist the appeal of that voice?
34939Besides, if the worst came to the worst, have we not a last hope left?
34939Besides, was it necessary for him to explain what was happening?
34939Besides, what''s the use of talking, mother?
34939But Conrad and I would like a word or two of explanation?"
34939But I suppose that nothing fresh will happen between this and to- morrow?
34939But Otto and Conrad were whispering to each other; and he exclaimed:"Look here, hurry up, will you?
34939But Véronique repeated:"Who taught it you?"
34939But at what enemy was she to take aim?
34939But how about Maguennoc?
34939But how are we to go from here?"
34939But how did I come to give it to him?
34939But how did you know?
34939But how do you come to be called Maroux?"
34939But how was she to pierce the impenetrable mask?
34939But in whose favor would he intervene?
34939But is there any need to seek so far and to have recourse to hypotheses?
34939But look, ca n''t you, you idiot?
34939But now that both of them were veiled, on which was she to exercise her good influence, for which to pray, against which to rebel?
34939But perhaps my other name will convey more to you?
34939But she said:"And you, Stéphane?
34939But suddenly a dreadful thought struck her: had she not left her box of matches on the bridge?
34939But suppose it means death for him?
34939But the explanation only increased Vorski''s alarm:"And how did he unload them?
34939But there was a dispute; and another, less strident voice grated:"Be quiet, Clémence, ca n''t you?
34939But they did not wish to confess their mutual anxiety; and Véronique put a further question, in a calm voice:"And the treasure?
34939But think, would you have been released?
34939But was it possible?
34939But what do you think of the dagger- stroke which Vorski received in accordance with the mysterious orders of destiny?
34939But what would you have?
34939But what''s to tell us that we shall have our share?"
34939But where and how did you come to know it?
34939But where is he?"
34939But who gave them to you?
34939But who had removed it?"
34939But who tied that little box of biscuits round your neck?
34939But why does n''t he answer?
34939But why has he not left his shelter?
34939But why not abandon herself to the death that offered, death from starvation, from exhaustion?
34939But why, hang it, why?"
34939But you, Vorski, did you know that there was a way down there and a boat?"
34939But, I say, however could you take it all in?
34939But, all the same, there is something, is n''t there, you dear little dog?
34939But, by Teutatès, what more do you want, you unbelieving Vorski?
34939But, first of all, Stéphane: what has become of him?
34939But, if so, how did his body disappear?"
34939But, look here, what''s the matter with you?
34939By Teutatès, god of the Gauls, is it you who ask me that question?
34939By what unprecedented marvel?
34939CHAPTER XVII"CRUEL PRINCE, OBEYING DESTINY"Don Luis once more addressed himself to Vorski:"We''re agreed, are n''t we, Kamerad?
34939Ca n''t a man have a quiet snooze these days, in this beastly hole?"
34939Can I be happy again?"
34939Can it be?
34939Can it possibly be you?"
34939Can not we rely on the unaided genius and the inexhaustible resources of nature?
34939Can you take me to him?
34939Come, All''s Well, tell me: where did you take the biscuits yesterday?
34939Come, answer me: what do you imagine?"
34939Come, how would you have a son who has just found his mother lose her again at once?
34939Conrad, is the stretcher ready?"
34939Curious, was n''t it?
34939Did Conrad stick a dagger into his back, or was I playing the part of that diabolical personage?
34939Did I flinch in the performance of my terrible mission?
34939Did any of our bullets touch him?"
34939Did he really know the secret of the God- Stone, the way to get possession of it and exactly where it is?"
34939Did n''t he speak to you about it?"
34939Did not the reality itself become more and more apparent as the seconds passed?
34939Did that rascal of a Vorski leave you tied up?
34939Did they have an inquest?"
34939Did you hear that whistling sound?"
34939Did you hear?
34939Did you kill her up there or down here?
34939Did you notice the eagerness with which Stéphane flew to François''assistance?
34939Did you see a man running?"
34939Did you see them fight?"
34939Did you send him on his master''s tracks, as we arranged?"
34939Do n''t you agree?"
34939Do n''t you hear me?
34939Do we agree?"
34939Do you accept?
34939Do you accept?"
34939Do you approve of what I have done?"
34939Do you approve, madame?"
34939Do you hear anything?"
34939Do you imagine that I''m staying here and doing all this dirty work for fun?"
34939Do you know his name?"
34939Do you know how many there were in the boats, without my sisters and me?
34939Do you know the names of those four sailors?"
34939Do you know what my mother called me?
34939Do you know where he is shut up?"
34939Do you know where the light comes from?
34939Do you know who came to meet him?
34939Do you know who it was, Vorski?
34939Do you know?
34939Do you realize whom you''re speaking to?"
34939Do you remember?
34939Do you see him?
34939Do you see?"
34939Do you think I''m going to disown my father as you did?"
34939Do you think that, at his age, he could have kept us on the run like that?"
34939Do you understand what I mean?
34939Do you understand?
34939Do you want to go away?
34939Does he have lessons?"
34939Does he not come from the country where the stone was stolen from the''wild men o''er the sea?''
34939Does it mean that we have a friend in the island, a friend who takes an interest in us?
34939Does n''t it prove that that demon has a special power?
34939Does she expect me?"
34939Does she run as well as ever?"
34939Does the hangman weep?
34939Don Luis interrupted him:"Will you give me pleasure, François?
34939Don Luis, who was holding him between his knees, kissed him and asked:"Do you forgive me?"
34939For instance, Maguennoc''s garden with the gigantic flowers; you will remember it as I shall, wo n''t you, All''s Well?
34939For instance, do you know why I''m here?
34939For instance, what is your idea of the manner in which I substituted Elfride Vorski for Madame d''Hergemont?"
34939For it''s settled, is n''t it; you want to die?"
34939For whom?"
34939For your master, for François?
34939Four women crucified?"
34939François came running up to them, stopped a few yards from Don Luis and looked at him with wide- open eyes:"I say,"he murmured,"then it''s you?
34939From which side were they preparing to attack her?
34939Gertrude had plenty of strength left, for she was twisting Véronique''s arm:"And Corréjou?
34939Gertrude murmured:"And Honorine?"
34939Ghosts?
34939Give up my task?
34939Give us a kiss, wo n''t you, daddy''s missus?
34939Go and see what you can find in the larder, will you?
34939Going up to the newcomer, he shook hands with him and said:"You see, Stéphane?
34939Ha, ha, have I ever been your husband?
34939Had he followed Stéphane Maroux in his inexplicable flight?
34939Had he forgotten?
34939Had he gone in search of assistance?
34939Had his memory lost every trace of the deeds done during his fit of madness?
34939Had she undergone the horrible martyrdom?
34939Hair- restoring department?
34939Has he not also a wife who is doomed, in the seer''s prophecies, to the torture of the cross?
34939Has he not two sons, one gentle and gracious as Abel, and the other wicked and uncontrolled as Cain?
34939Has n''t he come?"
34939Have we actually a friend in the island, who knows us and knows Stéphane Maroux?
34939Have you a bag of any kind at the inn?
34939Have you any, Conrad?"
34939Have you forgotten that he tried to touch the God- Stone and had to cut his hand off?"
34939Have you forgotten?
34939Have you the flask?
34939Have you the ladder?"
34939Have you the strength?"
34939He bent towards Véronique:"Will you be a queen, an empress, and soar above other women even as Vorski will dominate other men?
34939He burst out laughing:"Why not?
34939He came back, did n''t he, and went away again?
34939He did n''t know?
34939He did not wait for her answer and, raising his voice still higher, roared:"Do you accept?
34939He ended by vituperating the enemy:"Stop, ca n''t you?
34939He had long white hair, had n''t he?
34939He listened:"What is it?
34939He looked at her passionately:"So you know?"
34939He pointed to the wicket in the door:"Do you see that wicket?"
34939He put a question in his turn:"Well, what do you offer me?"
34939He put them on the ground and said:"Well, had a pleasant journey, M''ame Honorine?"
34939He read it in front of us, saying, with an air of amazement,''Can that be it?
34939He realized that the three revolvers had been made harmless, but how?
34939He said, in a low whisper:"Véronique, do you hear me?
34939He shook his head:"Which enemies?"
34939He swerved and grunted at the sight of a little black shape bounding along by his side:"What''s that?
34939He was now standing up:"You had the courage, the pluck?"
34939He was speaking truly, was n''t he, Stéphane?
34939He whispered:"Is that you, Honorine?"
34939He''s dead, is n''t he?
34939He''s one of your dead men, is n''t he?
34939Her hatred for you?
34939Here is your last cry:''_ Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?_ My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?''"
34939Here is your last cry:''_ Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?_ My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?''"
34939Here, would you like me to give you a fresh proof?
34939Hesitating, ill at ease, not knowing with whom he was dealing, he asked:"Who are you?
34939Honorine had squeezed her hands with incredible violence:"What''s that you say?"
34939Honorine joined her and insisted no longer:"Well, children, where''s young François?
34939Honorine listened greedily, but the murder seemed to give her no clue and she merely asked:"Who was it?
34939Honorine put her arm round Véronique''s neck:"Why, my poor, dear lady, would I have told you all this if my handsome François had been dead?"
34939Honorine was waiting on the first floor, standing in front of the open door:"Ah, it''s you, Corréjou?
34939Horse- chestnuts?
34939How are you, old bean?"
34939How can I explain?
34939How could he have endured this ordeal, at his age, if he had not had that hope?"
34939How could she do other than look?
34939How could she do other than tremble with fear?
34939How could she fail to read a warning in the choice of the hill of the Great Oak for the torture of the three sisters Archignat?
34939How could she rescue her father?
34939How could they do other than think of that inscription, of the words written ages ago on the pages of the missal and on the stone of the dolmen?
34939How did you come here?"
34939How did you get here?"
34939How do we know that François has not left his cell?
34939How indeed could she have suffered?
34939How is it they did n''t kill you?
34939How should I forget you afterwards?
34939How?
34939I am sure that François approves, do n''t you, darling?"
34939I ask you once more: what penalty did Vorski deserve?"
34939I expect you''re glad, eh, to have a little light thrown upon your darkness?
34939I have n''t, have I?
34939I said to you, when I first mentioned the business,''Will you go to work blindfold?
34939I say, look here, you''re not dead, are you?
34939I''ve not found my son again, have I, only to lose him?
34939I''ve shown you as much already, have n''t I?
34939If not, by what way did he come?
34939If so, how?"
34939If there''s no one except ourselves on the island, what are you afraid of?"
34939In Chapter VI, quotation marks were added before"Did you put them under there?"
34939In accordance with what inconceivable plans?
34939In short, are there an ancient Druid and a Spanish grandee, or are the two individuals one and the same?
34939In what capacity?"
34939Incapable of generosity though he was, would not the monster hesitate none the less in the presence of an utterly unnecessary crime?
34939Is Véronique d''Hergemont dead or alive?
34939Is he not a king''s son, in other words a''prince of Almain?''
34939Is it agreed?"
34939Is it from fear that I am shaking from head to foot?"
34939Is it her ladyship you''re trying to save?
34939Is it really you?
34939Is it you, Honorine?"
34939Is it you, Otto?
34939Is n''t this what he meant when he talked like that?"
34939Is she fastened to the oak on which you crucified her?
34939Is that easier for you, Vorski?
34939Is that so?"
34939Is that understood?"
34939Is that what you want?"
34939Is that why you do not mention him?"
34939Is that why you hesitate to take me with you, for, after all, that''s what we''re concerned with?"
34939Is there a fairly wide window at the place where you are now?"
34939Is your craving for justice satisfied?"
34939It was Stéphane''s turn to comfort her:"An obstacle?
34939It was an accident, was n''t it?
34939It was another woman, was n''t it?
34939It was with the petrol set aside for the purpose, was n''t it, and as arranged with Maguennoc in case of danger?
34939It''s a better sort of crying than it was, eh?
34939It''s a dog, is n''t it?"
34939It''s easier to murder people than to bring them to life, what?
34939It''s so, old chap, is n''t it: we shall win and be united and live happy ever after?
34939It''s you I was expecting?"
34939It''s you, is n''t it, my darling?
34939It''s you, the murderer?"
34939Lead us into a trap?
34939Leaning on a staff, he helped himself up and exclaimed:"What''s the meaning of this?
34939Let us say that you owe it to me, shall we, and that I myself am granting you this unexpected, I will even say, this unjust favour?
34939Look here, at what time did your thirtieth victim breathe her last?"
34939Lord, why did n''t you say so before?
34939Maguennoc?"
34939Maroux?"
34939Maroux?"
34939Maroux?"
34939Miracles?
34939Monsieur Stéphane?
34939Mother, you''re not going to fire?"
34939Must I come and help you?"
34939My clothes?
34939My pity, a weakness on my part?
34939Nevertheless the terrible syllables came from her mouth; and Véronique heard her stammering:"Eh?
34939Next morning, she said to All''s Well, whom she had locked up to prevent his running away:"Will you take me there now my man?
34939No matter: we must live, must n''t we, and we must n''t go mad ourselves like the others?"
34939No?
34939No?
34939No?
34939Not too much?
34939Not yet?
34939Not yet?"
34939Now is it really worth your while to get out?
34939Now that we have won the God- Stone, in other words, an actual treasure, what are we going to do with it?"
34939Now that you are here, are you ready to take delivery of the goods?"
34939Now what was his object in that?
34939Oh, by the way, where''s Maguennoc?"
34939Oh, can it be possible?
34939Oh, why did I restrain myself?"
34939Oh, you hate me, do you?
34939Oh, you would rather have hell than a kiss from Vorski?
34939On failing to see his mother, would he not rather think of following the underground tunnel and running to the Priory?
34939Once more, will you tell me where François is?"
34939Only, were they going to come back and kill us?
34939Only, why on earth was he sleeping in that attitude, flat on his stomach, with his arms stretched out on either side and his face to the floor?
34939Open the door, will you?
34939Or for Honorine?
34939Or is she lying here, on the sacrificial table?
34939Or was it a case of murder, as some have held?
34939Or was it his dead body that they carried?
34939Ought I to have promised him only his life and handed him over to the police?"
34939Patrice Belval began to laugh in spite of himself:"Have you a lecture to deliver?"
34939Perhaps he is dead since?
34939Presently she moaned:"There''s nothing to be done, is there?"
34939Presumably he was released like this at intervals, perhaps in order to eat and at night, for he ended by muttering:"So early?
34939Queen by right of gold and power even as you are already queen by right of beauty?
34939Query: how to get to the Priory?
34939Receiving no reply, he repeated:"Where''s François d''Hergemont?"
34939Resurrection department?
34939Revelation of the future department?
34939Serious business, was it?
34939Shall I dance the ancient Druid dance for you, as I did before Julius Caesar?
34939Shall I help you put the things on board?"
34939Shall I help you?"
34939She climbed four rungs and stopped:"Are you coming, Stéphane?"
34939She drew the dog to her:"Two kind hearts, are they not, All''s Well?
34939She examined him for two or three seconds, no longer, and suddenly, giving a start of terror, ejaculated:"Then it''s you?
34939She had become a habit, what?
34939She kissed the dog and went on:"And whom were those biscuits intended for?
34939She remembered the corpse at Le Faouet and she stammered:"His right hand?
34939She repeated, all blushing and confused:"But why did you choose just that name?"
34939She repeated:"It''s here, is n''t it?"
34939She rushed to the door, drew the bolt, tried to open it; but what could she do against that massive, iron- clad door?
34939She saw the two boys, it was true; but which of them was François and which was Raynold?
34939She shrugged her shoulders, however:"Well?
34939She was utterly overwhelmed:"Why did I come here?"
34939Should she go to him at the Priory and defend him against the dangers that threatened him?
34939Should she make use of it?
34939So do you, Patrice, do n''t you?
34939So what does it all mean?"
34939So what then?
34939So you hoped to find me here?"
34939So you knew me?
34939So you spent the night in the boat?"
34939So you still refuse to tell us where François is hidden?"
34939So you were threatened too; and the first attack was made on you, mother?
34939So you''re still of the same mind, eh, old chap?
34939Some obstacle which he did not foresee?"
34939Something gone wrong?
34939St. Augustine?
34939Still, why should she conceal the truth?
34939Stéphane, I can safely leave him in your charge, ca n''t I?
34939Stéphane, leaping to her side, said:"Good heavens, what have you done?
34939Suppose I bring him here, before you, your François, and put the knife to his throat and ask you for the last time, what will your answer be?"
34939Suppose we fired at him, Conrad?"
34939Surely you do n''t hate me as much as all that?"
34939Taken aback, the other asked:"What''s the matter?"
34939Tell me, how much exactly does he know of the whole story?"
34939Tell me, what was the name of that Breton village?"
34939That is why I want you to answer me honestly: do you consider that Vorski deserves to die?"
34939That''s what you think, All''s Well?
34939The Druids: is that what you mean?
34939The God- Stone?"
34939The ancient Druid''s a smart chap and you''re coming with him, are n''t you?"
34939The ancient Druid, for instance: is he dead or alive?
34939The ancient Druid, without giving him time to recover his breath and reply, went on:"That staggers you, eh?
34939The boy whispered:"What''s that in your hand?
34939The boy who planted veronicas round the Calvary of Flowers and who wrote,''Mother''s flowers,''is not guilty, is he?
34939The brain is giving way?
34939The great thing, do n''t you think, is that he should not know that Vorski was his father?"
34939The old story of the coffins and the crosses, I suppose?"
34939The real words remain to be spoken, those which count; for you admit that, so far, all that I have said is mere verbiage, what?
34939The slave; and why not?
34939The swastika, the leading cabalistic symbol, eh, what?
34939The threats she made you?"
34939The total''s correct, is n''t it?
34939Then again, did he commit suicide?
34939Then for Monsieur Stéphane perhaps?"
34939Then had not all the inhabitants taken to flight?
34939Then he asked:"No news, captain?
34939Then how did Maguennoc get across?
34939Then how did that demon manage to bring her to life again?"
34939Then how was it possible for the recollection of her signature to survive apart from her and those who were dead and gone?
34939Then the two islands communicate?"
34939Then we''ll pick up Stéphane, who of course will be waiting for us on some strip of beach, and we''ll all be off, wo n''t we, All''s Well?
34939Then what is it?"
34939Then why worry?"
34939Then you can explain all this riddle to me?"
34939Then you do n''t know me?
34939Then, after a moment, in a much lower voice:"Did you come with some one?"
34939There must be some one here then?"
34939There''s nothing to take on about, is there?''
34939They flung themselves into each other''s arms:"Oh, mother, mother, is it really true?
34939This time Véronique appeared stupefied:"What are you hinting?"
34939To Le Faouet, perhaps?
34939To St. Barbe''s Chapel?"
34939To call me by my name, me, me?"
34939To let her off?
34939To see your son dying before your eyes; is that what you want?
34939To the Priory?
34939To the submarine?
34939To what do they all refer, those legends of which I know nothing except from Honorine''s delirium and the distress of the sisters Archignat?"
34939To whom does it belong?"
34939Tricked?
34939Venting his rage in the stupid fashion that was his habit, he was stamping on the piece of stuff, when a thought struck him:"Why?
34939Vorski allowed himself to be pulled along; but, as he went, he continued:"Shall I tell you what I think, Conrad?
34939Vorski eyed him with renewed uneasiness:"Velléda?"
34939Vorski kills; but whom has he killed?
34939Vorski laid violent hands on his accomplice:"What''s this?
34939Vorski muttered, more and more excited:"Then that''s it?
34939Vorski presently fell back a step:"Oh,"he exclaimed,"can it be?"
34939Vorski shrugged his shoulders:"And you, Otto, are you afraid too?"
34939Vorski stammered:"Shall I be free?"
34939Vorski''s slave, but mistress of all those over whom Vorski holds sway?
34939Vorski, after running forward, shouted:"Am I to shoot, you scum?
34939Vorski, growing a little impatient, renewed his attempts, but more vigorously, and raised his voice:"I say, what about it?
34939Vorski, would you like to see something that does n''t exist?
34939Véronique continued:"What do you propose to do, Honorine?"
34939Véronique looked at Don Luis in amazement:"But why?
34939Véronique looked at her son:"Left the island?"
34939Véronique once more shrugged her shoulders:"How do you know?"
34939Véronique said, with a sort of dread:"Coffin Island?"
34939Véronique, trembling all over, could not help asking:"By whose hand is he to die?"
34939Véronique, you can hear me, surely?
34939Was Sarek not devastated as it was written?
34939Was he not indeed a sort of madman and had his madness not increased as the years passed?
34939Was he on his guard?
34939Was he thinking of seizing him in his arms and crushing the life out of him?
34939Was it a sign set up by one person with the object of guiding the steps of another?
34939Was it her son''s voice that she heard?
34939Was it here that her son was to fight?
34939Was it his plan to save François?
34939Was it of his own free will?
34939Was it our turn next?
34939Was it really, as the official version stated, suicide following on a fit of madness?
34939Was it to be presumed that one or more of their accomplices were left on the island?
34939Was it too late to rescue her?"
34939Was she even alive?
34939Was she to believe that he was back and in hiding?
34939Was this François?
34939Was this Raynold?
34939We never left one another?"
34939We''re agreed all round, are n''t we?
34939Well, Otto, what news?
34939Well, Stéphane, where do we stand?
34939Well, Vorski, are you afraid?"
34939Well, are you there?
34939Well, did nothing happen?"
34939Well, how many of them do you think there are?
34939Well, is it a bargain?
34939Well, what can I say?
34939Well, what did you see?"
34939Well?
34939Were the boats not sunk and the people not drowned?
34939Were the sisters Archignat not nailed to the ancient oak- trees?
34939Were they spirits of darkness, malevolent genii, priests of a dead religion, sacrificing men, women and children to their blood- thirsty gods?
34939What about François?"
34939What about, you pudding- head?
34939What are the letters?"
34939What are they to do with it?
34939What are they?"
34939What are we to do with it?
34939What are you driving at?"
34939What are you here for?
34939What are you looking at over there?
34939What are you talking about?
34939What are you trying to do?
34939What did it mean?
34939What did it mean?
34939What did that suffering matter to her?
34939What do you call this?"
34939What do you expect?
34939What do you mean by it?
34939What do you mean?
34939What do you mean?"
34939What do you say to it?"
34939What do you say to that?"
34939What do you say, Otto?"
34939What do you say, young François?
34939What do you want me to do with it?
34939What do you want with me?"
34939What does he say?"
34939What does it all mean?"
34939What does it mean?"
34939What does the Superhun see in it?
34939What enemy was she to fight?
34939What for?
34939What had become of her son?
34939What happened to Maguennoc?
34939What has happened to him?
34939What have_ I_ to fear?
34939What is it?"
34939What is it?"
34939What is it?"
34939What is the explanation of the work resumed by such barbarous methods?"
34939What is this God- Stone?
34939What keeps him in his cell?
34939What made people believe in the power of the God- Stone?
34939What must Corréjou and the others think?"
34939What should she do?
34939What then?
34939What was at the bottom of all this fantastic adventure?
34939What was he going to do?
34939What was the meaning of this improbable story and what was his impenetrable interlocutor driving at?
34939What were the creatures in the Great Oak doing?
34939What would her son do?
34939What would you have said, eh, if we''d left the island without you?"
34939What''s the matter with you?
34939What''s the matter with you?"
34939What''s the matter?
34939What''s the result of your search?"
34939What''s the use?"
34939What''s your name?
34939What''s your object?"
34939What''s your price for setting François free at once?"
34939What''s your reason for asking?"
34939What, do n''t you want to?
34939What, wo n''t you?"
34939What?
34939When shall we escape this awful nightmare?"
34939Where can the danger come from?"
34939Where did you get that ring which you put first on mother''s finger and afterwards on Elfride''s?"
34939Where did you put the parcel, mother?"
34939Where do you get it from?
34939Where have they locked him up?
34939Where is he?
34939Where was François?
34939Where were you to be found?"
34939Where will you try first?
34939Where would you have me take her?
34939Where''s Conrad?"
34939Where''s François?
34939Where''s François?"
34939Where''s your son François d''Hergemont?"
34939Where?
34939Which are you, my foe or my bride?
34939Which do you choose?
34939Which do you choose?"
34939Which do you choose?"
34939Which was François?
34939Which was Raynold?
34939Who Goes There?
34939Who are those enemies?"
34939Who are you?"
34939Who could be singing it now?
34939Who did you think it was?
34939Who goes there?"
34939Who hunted me like a wild beast, till I was quite out of breath?
34939Who is it?"
34939Who laid the trail with the clues that brought you from Le Faouet to the exact spot where I always land?
34939Who taught it you?
34939Who was hiding behind the trees and stones that crowned the hill like a rampart?
34939Who was it that was wiping out all the inhabitants of the luckless island?
34939Who was that demon standing in front of him?
34939Who were these invisible beings who persecuted her?
34939Who will be the fourth woman?"
34939Who will be the thirtieth?
34939Who wrote this?
34939Who''d have thought, M''ame Honorine, that you''d be doing a job like this?"
34939Who''s calling me?
34939Whom does he go about with?"
34939Whom were they to hate?
34939Whose mission was it to fill the thirty coffins of Sarek?
34939Why did n''t anyone come to look for us?
34939Why did the outburst of terror suddenly take place this year?"
34939Why did they not make for the mainland?"
34939Why did you not show him the way?"
34939Why do n''t you answer?"
34939Why do n''t you bring her here?
34939Why do you ask?"
34939Why do you hesitate?"
34939Why do you speak of Maguennoc?"
34939Why does n''t he show himself?
34939Why had her son done these things?
34939Why had his tutor, Stéphane Maroux, doubtless an accomplice, possibly an instigator, fled before the tragedy?
34939Why murder?
34939Why not stay where you are?
34939Why not?"
34939Why should he wish himself and my poor child to be thought dead?"
34939Why should my father have behaved like that?
34939Why should you suppose so?
34939Why so?
34939Why suicide?
34939Why that name?"
34939Why, have n''t you seen my axe, with the pattern of the swastika?
34939Why?
34939Why?"
34939Will that do?"
34939Will you belong to me body and soul?
34939Will you?
34939Will you?
34939With what object?
34939Without giving a direct answer, the ancient Druid said:"What do you think of it?
34939Wo n''t he be starving by now?
34939Wo n''t you sit down?"
34939Would he save those people, whose shouts of distress now reached her ears, would he save them without delay?
34939Would not the least hesitation have meant François''death?
34939Would the miracle occur in Vorski?
34939Would the scoundrel have spoken and revealed your hiding- place?
34939Would you care for a biscuit and a thimbleful of old claret or a glass of champagne?"
34939Would you like another instance?
34939Would you like me to?"
34939You can twig it from here, ca n''t you?
34939You carry a locket hanging from a silver chain round your shirt, do n''t you?"
34939You dare to insult me?
34939You follow me, do n''t you?
34939You have n''t found François?"
34939You hear it already, do n''t you?
34939You know me now, do n''t you?"
34939You know?"
34939You never spoke to him, surely?"
34939You remember the prophecy?
34939You say that Maguennoc cut off his right hand?"
34939You understand, do n''t you?
34939You wo n''t get up to any tricks?"
34939You wo n''t?
34939You would scoff at me, you hussy, would you?
34939You''ll tell me that, wo n''t you?
34939You''re calling François?"
34939You''re coming with me, are n''t you?"
34939You''re not ripe yet?
34939You''re tremendously interested, are n''t you, Vorski?"
34939You''ve got your dagger?
34939You, whose life has been one long martyrdom?"
34939You?"
34939Your death?
34939Your husband?
34939Your idiot brain is working it out: am I right?
34939Your tears?
34939and then, above all, what has become of Stéphane?
34939and where for?
34939and you will be the first to get tired, for one does n''t mind shedding such tears as these, does one, mother?"
34939and"and I am not a bit afraid", and after"Then what is it?".
34939are you ready?"
34939as sure as I am that I''m alive?
34939dangers which we can not foresee?
34939for what?
34939it was n''t you who came then?
34939it''s happening, Ma''me Honorine?
34939leaves four, does n''t it?"
34939or death?"
34939or to give life to our delightful All''s Well?
34939since this morning has he not left his prison?"
34939some love- affair, perhaps?
34939the other whose name was Elfride, I understand: am I right?
34939then what are we to do?"
34939three times: do you refuse?
34939what do you want with me?"
34939what?
34939you know well enough, do n''t you?
34939you see?"
34939young François?
41151''Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?''
41151''Dick?'' 41151 ''Did he lie about your coming to see him?''
41151''Lee,''I cried,''why am I here?'' 41151 ''No?
41151''So we''ve a broker in the house, eh?'' 41151 A quarrel, eh?
41151A speculator, eh? 41151 A what?"
41151About the light? 41151 After that, what did you do?"
41151All right?
41151And do you think this very strange gentleman will condescend to help me, Jenkins?
41151And how long have you been in his employ?
41151And how much nearer to the solution have I carried you?
41151And it is n''t hers?
41151And now shall I drive you home?
41151And that gives you the right to intrude on my privacy, I suppose?
41151And that proves?
41151And the body has not been recovered?
41151And the second thing?
41151And this gentleman is Mr. Trenton, I take it?
41151And this one looks like a gentleman, is that it?
41151And what is this business you are always talking about?
41151And when you turned on the light how many persons were in the room?
41151And while you were there did you hear any sounds, a person walking, for instance?
41151Another theory gone up in smoke?
41151Answers satisfactory?
41151Any increase lately?
41151Any of his belongings still around?
41151Any windows on this side?
41151Anyone else''s?
41151Anything new?
41151Are you Ben Kite?
41151Are you a mind- reader?
41151Are you absolutely certain?
41151Are you also caring for the one hundred and fifty thousand dollars that he drew from the bank and that is now reposing in your strong box?
41151Are you and Mrs. Darwin the only members of the household?
41151Are you sure?
41151Are you sure?
41151Are you the only two people awake in this house?
41151Are you trying to frighten me by pretending that you believe that I killed Philip Darwin?
41151As regards Grenville? 41151 But finding him there unexpectedly might she not have shot him to secure the letter?"
41151But if he witnessed events, why does n''t he clear Ruth then?
41151But not welcome to look at the articles themselves, is that it?
41151But the shot in the dark?
41151But what right have you to question me?
41151But why do n''t you surround the place with the police right away?
41151But why, man, why?
41151But why? 41151 But, McKelvie, what about the actual time when Philip Darwin was killed, twenty minutes before Ruth ever set foot in the study?"
41151But, Ruth, I thought your father lived here with you?
41151But, heavens, man, how did she get in?
41151But, hello, what''s in this envelope?
41151But-- the combination?
41151By Jove,said Jones, then added quickly,"What about the second bullet, then?
41151By the way, McKelvie, where did it go?
41151By the way, how much was his whole fortune?
41151Ca n''t some of them produce alibis?
41151Can you give me the amount of his balance?
41151Can you spare me a few minutes?
41151Can you tell me where I can find Ben Kite to- night?
41151Carlton, do you still believe in me?
41151Carlton, have they really dared to commit Ruth to jail?
41151Cora-- Manning? 41151 Could anyone have escaped by the door then?"
41151Could she not have written to warn you, just as well?
41151Could you see the door of the study from your position in the drawing- room?
41151Daddy''s address? 41151 Darwin knew then that Dick was his nephew?"
41151Describe the man who questioned you?
41151Desperate measures, eh? 41151 Did I do that to you, Carlton?"
41151Did McKelvie search the room?
41151Did Mr. Darwin mention to you recently that he intended changing his will?
41151Did Mr. Orton explain how he came to be in the study?
41151Did anyone come out or go in?
41151Did he really mean to kill himself?
41151Did he take it in gold or notes?
41151Did it sound in front or behind you?
41151Did it sound very close to you, or far away?
41151Did n''t you think it peculiar that she should leave suddenly at that time of night without leaving her address behind?
41151Did the maid give you Mr. Davies''address?
41151Did the murderer also light the lamp?
41151Did you not think it odd that your mistress should send for Mr. Davies at that time of night?
41151Did you notice anything odd about it?
41151Did you notice whether he was wearing a ring on the little finger of his left hand?
41151Did you remark the gold and blue? 41151 Did you see Mr. Lee Darwin leave the house yesterday morning?"
41151Do n''t you see that the light comes from the right side of that cluster and not from the center?
41151Do n''t you suppose he comes here to see the girl? 41151 Do you also identify this handkerchief?"
41151Do you believe she killed Darwin?
41151Do you get the significance?
41151Do you know anyone by the name of Cora Manning?
41151Do you know what occasioned the quarrel between the husband and wife?
41151Do you know what time he got back?
41151Do you know where we are going?
41151Do you know whether Cunningham was in to- day?
41151Do you know whether Mr. Darwin keeps any of his valuable papers in that safe?
41151Do you know whose it is?
41151Do you mean that he is out of town?
41151Do you realize that your silence will militate against you?
41151Do you really believe that he can find a ray of light amidst the Stygian darkness of this horrible business?
41151Do you recall the exact words?
41151Do you recognize this handkerchief?
41151Do you remember my saying that Lee''s use of rose jacqueminot looked bad for him? 41151 Do you remember the night he told us that pleasant fiction about the one hundred and fifty thousand dollars?
41151Do you still persist in saying there was someone else in the study?
41151Do you suppose it could have been in a former reincarnation?
41151Do you suspect?
41151Do you take me for a mere calculating machine without any human feelings and consideration for others? 41151 Do you think the body will ever be recovered?"
41151Do you think the police will let you see them?
41151Do you want a taxi for to- morrow, then?
41151Do you want a taxi?
41151Does he strike you as the kind that would be gentle with his prisoners? 41151 Dream it?
41151Even if it should lead you into unforeseen channels?
41151Ever read Gaboriau?
41151For my sake?
41151For what purpose?
41151For what reason?
41151For what reason?
41151Giving up the case when it''s just becoming exciting? 41151 Has counsel been appointed to defend her?"
41151Has he a strong box?
41151Has he seen you before?
41151Has the doctor been here?
41151Have I been asleep all that time?
41151Have n''t I? 41151 Have n''t you read the papers?"
41151Have n''t you the wit to see that the inquest was in the hands of the police from the start? 41151 Have you also a duplicate key?"
41151Have you any objections to my remaining here with you?
41151Have you any provisions in the house?
41151Have you any reason to suspect Mrs. Darwin other than the fact that she held the pistol in her hand?
41151Have you ever heard of Cora Manning?
41151Have you none, then?
41151He did n''t happen to mention that he was ruined, did he, on the afternoon of the seventh?
41151He did not actually say so?
41151He did not answer and I went on:''Why did n''t you listen to my explanation that morning? 41151 He did not get along with his father, I understand?"
41151Hello, where the devil did you come from?
41151Here in the house?
41151Home? 41151 Home?"
41151How did Cunningham happen to have a sachet bag embroidered with his initials when Cora did not know him as Cunningham?
41151How did I know she would come to the study? 41151 How did he enter and leave the room?"
41151How did he know the combination that you used?
41151How do you account then for the lighting of the lamp from the safe?
41151How do you know he sent a telegram?
41151How do you know it''s not a trap?
41151How do you know that it was Mr. Darwin who unlocked it?
41151How do you know?
41151How do you make that out?
41151How does it happen that you know so much about him, Jenkins?
41151How long has Mr. Darwin been in the habit of locking his study?
41151How long have you been in your present position, Annie?
41151How many more of these blooming things are we likely to run across anyway? 41151 How on earth did he know she would come into the room?
41151How should I know?
41151How?
41151How?
41151How?
41151I could n''t hear what they said----"Then how did you know that they were quarreling about the letter?
41151I say, Mr. Davies, ca n''t you give a fellow a few more details?
41151I suppose you are right, but how did he get in then?
41151I thought you said the study was in darkness?
41151I was stunned for the moment, and then I found voice to say,''You know him, too?'' 41151 I?
41151If Dick was in the study how did he get away without my seeing him?
41151If someone had pulled the cord of the lamp would you have been able to see that person?
41151If what he says is true,whispered Jones to me,"where does Mrs. Darwin come in?
41151If you will be so kind I should like to be shown to a vacant room and might I borrow a suit of pajamas?
41151Indeed? 41151 Is Miss Manning in?"
41151Is he away very much?
41151Is he the type to commit murder in cold- blood?
41151Is it Lee?
41151Is it necessary to the investigation?
41151Is it not odd that a man of Mr. Darwin''s-- er-- wealth-- should introduce his secretary on an equal footing with his family?
41151Is it true that he removed his securities from Cunningham''s office and used them to speculate with?
41151Is that the reason that Sherlock Holmes is an egotist, sir?
41151Is that the reason you told Orton to repeat his evidence?
41151Is there an attic to the house?
41151Is there any possibility of suicide?
41151Is there anything else I can offer you?
41151Is this the man?
41151Is this the man?
41151Is this the paper?
41151Is this the pistol in question?
41151It must have been, for who else has a key to those doors? 41151 It stands to reason, does it not, that if the murderer loves Miss Manning he must know that she uses rose jacqueminot perfume?"
41151Jones, can you open that safe?
41151Kindly permit me to conduct this investigation,he said curtly, then to Ruth,"Mrs. Darwin, was your husband in the habit of wearing rings?"
41151Knowing that Mrs. Darwin was in the study, why did you give the police the impression last night that she had heard the shot from upstairs?
41151Land sakes, you do n''t mean to tell me, young man, that you think she did it?
41151Lee Darwin gone South?
41151Lee-- a prisoner? 41151 Lee?
41151Look here, do you think I''m lying to you?
41151May I examine its contents?
41151May I keep it?
41151May I look at it?
41151May I look inside this envelope?
41151May I see that handkerchief that you are holding so tightly in your hand?
41151Memo: How was the light turned on? 41151 Might there not have been someone else who left by the windows before you lighted the room?"
41151Miss Manning, did you see this man''s face so that you could swear to it?
41151Miss Manning, have you ever seen this man before?
41151Mistuh McKelvie?
41151Mr. Cunningham, do you know whether the will that was destroyed was in Mrs. Darwin''s favor?
41151Mr. Cunningham, what are all these people doing here?
41151Mr. Cunningham, you do n''t by any chance happen to know the combination?
41151Mr. Cunningham? 41151 Mr. Darwin, did you ever hear of Cora Manning?"
41151Mr. Darwin, did you ever see that handkerchief before?
41151Mr. Darwin,McKelvie said, as Lee opened his eyes again,"are you strong enough to answer some questions?"
41151Mr. Davies entered ahead of you? 41151 Mr. Davies, did you not think it strange that she should send for you so late at night?"
41151Mr. Davies, you know, of course, that if a man dies intestate, his wife inherits his property?
41151Mrs. Darwin''s finger- prints, I understand?
41151Mrs. Darwin, do you recognize this pistol?
41151My dear man, where are your reasoning powers? 41151 No, I''ve come to the end of my tether--""You do n''t mean that you''re giving up the case?"
41151Not a safe?
41151Not even to the extent of losing several millions?
41151Nothing escapes you, does it?
41151Now I trust that you are satisfied?
41151Now,I demanded,"what''s it all about?"
41151On foot or in a taxi?
41151On what do I base that conclusion?
41151Ought to bring results, eh? 41151 Pardon my curiosity, sir,"he whispered eagerly,"but did you see Mr. McKelvie, sir?"
41151Ready?
41151Ready?
41151Ruth, dear,I said, taking her little trembling hands in both my own,"why did you send for me?
41151Ruth, do you think you could get that letter for me?
41151Shall I telephone for a doctor, Mr. Davies? 41151 Shall I tell him, Carlton?"
41151She quarreled with him, you say? 41151 Shot?
41151Since he was so secretive, might he not have put some of his securities in that safe?
41151So,he said, in that high- pitched voice, sarcastically strident in its intonation,"you thought to get ahead of me, eh?
41151Surely you are not of the opinion that he killed Darwin?
41151Surely you do n''t believe that he really quarreled with his uncle about Mrs. Darwin? 41151 Tell me,"he said,"do you believe it was cleverness or sheer bravado that made the criminal light the study with the door unlocked?
41151The car was waiting?
41151The last of his securities? 41151 The only question to be solved was the one, Where was Darwin?
41151The study was in darkness then?
41151The woman in the case? 41151 Then Mr. Darwin was not killed instantly?"
41151Then Mr. Davies was acquainted with Mrs. Darwin before her marriage?
41151Then he was not home for dinner?
41151Then may I ask by what right you constituted yourself Mr. Darwin''s lawyer, and acted as Mrs. Darwin''s counsel at the inquest?
41151Then since it is quite evident that you did not love Philip Darwin, will you explain why you married him at all?
41151Then what--?
41151Then why did he remove that money from the bank?
41151Then why was he troubling himself to make a new will?
41151Then you can tell us when that safe was built?
41151Then you have no objections to my retiring?
41151Then you know who he is?
41151Then you know who the criminal is?
41151Then you think there may have been someone else in the room?
41151There is no hope of finding the body?
41151Third? 41151 Under what circumstances?"
41151Was it normal, hurried breathing, or was it labored?
41151Was it--?
41151Was n''t it odd that Ruth failed to recognize Cunningham as her husband when he spoke to her at the inquest?
41151Was n''t it strange-- his buying only one?
41151Was n''t there?
41151Was she gone five minutes?
41151Was that it?
41151Was there not a will in his favor before the wedding?
41151Well, how did he do it?
41151Well, perhaps under those circumstances--he appeared to reflect, then said abruptly,"Would you call Dr. Haskins a man who knew his business?"
41151Well?
41151Well?
41151Well?
41151Well?
41151Were you making the bed that it took you ten minutes to fix it?
41151What about Lee?
41151What about Mrs. Darwin''s testimony that he was in the hall?
41151What about family resemblance?
41151What about the safe?
41151What about young Darwin?
41151What advice did Mr. Cunningham give you at the inquest?
41151What advice did you give Darwin when you returned from Chicago?
41151What are you doing here?
41151What brought you back this morning if you had left the house for good?
41151What can I do for you?
41151What did he do after you promised silence?
41151What did he mean by weapon then?
41151What did you come for then, you blarneyer?
41151What did you do then?
41151What did you think he meant to convey by those words of his?
41151What do you advise then?
41151What do you expect to learn by all this questioning?
41151What do you know about him?
41151What do you make of this, McKelvie?
41151What do you mean by putting such an indignity upon me?
41151What do you mean by that last statement?
41151What do you mean by that?
41151What do you mean?
41151What do you mean?
41151What do you mean?
41151What do you propose to do then?
41151What do you suppose Philip did with all that money?
41151What do you want of me?
41151What do you want?
41151What does he want?
41151What evidence do you refer to?
41151What footprint?
41151What for?
41151What happened after I went down?
41151What happened when we chased him before? 41151 What has become of Darwin''s securities?"
41151What is Lee Darwin''s connection with the affair?
41151What is it, Carlton?
41151What is it, Claude? 41151 What is it, Jenkins?
41151What is it, Riley?
41151What is it, Ruth?
41151What is it, a new clue?
41151What is it?
41151What is it?
41151What is the meaning of all this?
41151What is?
41151What makes you ask?
41151What makes you certain he was standing when he was shot?
41151What makes you think he is in New York?
41151What new trail?
41151What on earth were you doing in that bedroom?
41151What picture of Dick?
41151What questions did he ask you?
41151What reasons could he possibly have?
41151What time did you close the house last night?
41151What time do you usually lock up?
41151What time is it, Jenkins?
41151What was Mr. Trenton''s attitude toward your uncle?
41151What was the reason for young Trenton''s removal from New York six months ago?
41151What was there for me to do, Carlton, but to acquiesce?
41151What were you doing in the study?
41151What you want, stranger?
41151What you want?
41151What''s the idea of building a house with holes in the wall? 41151 What''s the idea?
41151What''s the interpretation, McKelvie?
41151What''s the name of the man who told you about the suicide?
41151What''s the objection then to showing them to me?
41151What''s the trouble, now?
41151What?
41151When did you last see Mr. Darwin alive?
41151When did you last see your uncle?
41151When did you show him this letter?
41151When he came back the morning of the eighth, were you really positive that he had been drinking, or did he give you another impression as well?
41151When you first recognized my official capacity what made you think something had happened to your uncle?
41151When you sent Mrs. Darwin into the study you were both aware, of course, of Mr. Darwin''s presence in that room?
41151When?
41151Where did the second bullet go?
41151Where did they come from?
41151Where did you find it, Jones?
41151Where did you find it?
41151Where did you get that picture of Dick? 41151 Where did you learn all this?"
41151Where do you discharge your duties?
41151Where is her maid?
41151Where to?
41151Where were you at that particular time?
41151Where''s McKelvie?
41151Where''s the diamond then?
41151Which one of those having sufficient motive for killing Darwin answers to the description: Clever, unprincipled, absolutely cold- blooded?
41151Who and what is Cora Manning?
41151Who is Mr. McKelvie, Jenkins?
41151Who opened up the house this morning?
41151Who wants''i m?
41151Who was it?
41151Whom? 41151 Whose did you think it was when I first held it up?"
41151Why did Mr. Orton''s presence in the study surprise you?
41151Why did Philip Darwin put that ring on his finger and then take it off again?
41151Why did Richard Trenton come to New York and then commit suicide?
41151Why did he build such a large safe?
41151Why did n''t Philip Darwin live at his club then, when he came of age?
41151Why did n''t you go over to the safe and capture him then?
41151Why did n''t you open the door a crack?
41151Why did you not light the study instead of groping in the dark?
41151Why does any sane person want to light his lamp from his safe?
41151Why incredible?
41151Why not? 41151 Why should a man like Mr. Darwin preserve a stoneless ring?"
41151Why, Carlton?
41151Why, how could I know what he was doing when I did not know he was at home?
41151Why,I stammered, all the wind taken out of my sails,"what about the-- the secret entrance?"
41151Why?
41151Why?
41151Will it help you?
41151Will you answer me three questions?
41151Will you give me briefly the details of the case?
41151Will you let us in to the main wing through the passageway, please?
41151Will you please tell me then when I can find him at home?
41151Will you return at once with my chauffeur? 41151 Would it be asking too much to allow me to see my uncle''s body?"
41151Would not the next morning have been ample time?
41151Would you swear to that fact?
41151Would you swear to that fact?
41151Would you tell him-- now?
41151Yes, and I presume she kept the man she loves in duress all this time? 41151 Yes?"
41151Yet he might have done so last night?
41151You are Mr. Darwin''s lawyer?
41151You are Mr. Darwin''s secretary?
41151You are acquainted with the details of Mr. Darwin''s business, are you not?
41151You are positive of this?
41151You are sure of the time?
41151You are sure that Mr. Darwin was alone at eleven- thirty?
41151You are sure that it was n''t because you knew beforehand that he was dead?
41151You are sure you brought me all the keys?
41151You are sure you locked all the doors and windows securely?
41151You are sure?
41151You are sure?
41151You are then acquainted with his private affairs also?
41151You could swear to that?
41151You did n''t happen to remove it, did you?
41151You did n''t hear any rumors that he was speculating in M. and R. stock, for instance?
41151You did n''t see Mrs. Darwin go into the study?
41151You did not chance to see anyone when you applied your eye to the key- hole?
41151You do n''t mean to tell me that it was the criminal himself who had the nerve to come there to- night?
41151You do?
41151You have discovered something new?
41151You have heard nothing from him since he left?
41151You have news of Dick?
41151You have no idea what was in the note?
41151You have notified the police?
41151You have some information to impart?
41151You have told us everything?
41151You heard the evidence concerning the windows?
41151You identify the handwriting?
41151You know Jones, then?
41151You know of course that we do not make it a practice to take up criminal cases?
41151You know where it is and you have n''t produced it?
41151You know where she has gone?
41151You mean he has only just died? 41151 You mean that he had already been shot when Ruth entered this room?"
41151You mean that he is a private detective?
41151You mean you are going to try to locate the criminal since we can find no clues to help Ruth?
41151You obeyed?
41151You really believe that, Ruth? 41151 You said that Mrs. Darwin entered the study to reclaim a paper which was of value to you, did you not?"
41151You said that on the night of the seventh of October, Miss Manning went away from here?
41151You saw and heard him at the inquest? 41151 You saw it too, then?
41151You testified last night that you had heard the shot?
41151You think Dick might have done it?
41151You think that is wise?
41151You think you''ll be able to catch him?
41151You will be permitted to testify in her behalf?
41151You''re not joking? 41151 You''ve got your pistol with you?"
41151Your honor, may I make a suggestion?
41151''Did he?
41151''Do you?''
41151''He should know how to play fast and loose, eh?
41151( 10) Is Cora Manning the woman in the case and if so, who and what is she?
41151( 11) What has become of Darwin''s securities?
41151( 12) What is Lee Darwin''s connection with the affair?
41151( 13) Why did Richard Trenton come to New York and then commit suicide?
41151( 14) What is the relation between Mr. Cunningham and the murdered man?
41151( 2) Did the murderer also light the lamp?
41151( 3) How did the murderer enter and leave the study?
41151( 4) What was the motive for the murder?
41151( 5) Why did the doctors disagree, and which was in the right?
41151( 6) Why did Philip Darwin put that ring on his finger and then pull it off?
41151( 7) Whose is the blood- stained handkerchief?
41151( 8) Where did the second bullet go?
41151( 9) Why is there so much evidence against Mrs. Darwin, and who would most desire to injure her?
41151A coward''s attitude?
41151A second Sherlock Holmes, eh?"
41151Am I correct so far?"
41151Am I perfectly rational and sane?"
41151Am I right?"
41151Am I right?"
41151Ames?"
41151And did n''t he, while living in this house, have an opportunity to witness and resent the treatment accorded to his daughter?
41151And do you believe for a moment that the district attorney will give credence to a fact which Coroner Graves practically ruled out of his court?"
41151And for the police?"
41151And is it reasonable to suppose that it took him twenty minutes to shoot his victim and place him in that chair?"
41151And now, Mr. Jones, having doped it out, as you expressed it, would you mind telling me who committed that murder?"
41151And, of course he knew that he was ruined?"
41151As I drove toward town I remarked,"Was there really someone in that safe, McKelvie?"
41151As we descended the steps I said curiously,"What did you find, McKelvie?"
41151Besides, if you did not want anyone prying into your safe, what precaution would you take to prevent it?"
41151Besides, the study was in total darkness----""You are sure the study was in darkness?"
41151But how did McKelvie know this latter fact?
41151But in that event why had he not come forward to free Ruth from jail?
41151But what about the safe?"
41151But where in Kingdom Come was I going to find it?
41151By the way, that vindictive old man did n''t shoot him, did he?"
41151CHAPTER V THE SECRETARY What was Orton going to say?
41151Ca n''t you imagine the clash between them?"
41151Coroner Graves pondered a moment, then asked abruptly,"Have you ever noticed any signs of ill- feeling between your master and mistress?"
41151Could it be that others besides ourselves had heard the shot?
41151Could the weapon be murder and the answer to the problem the fact that Ruth was shielding her brother again?
41151Cunningham?"
41151Cunningham?"
41151Darwin''s?"
41151Darwin?"
41151Darwin?"
41151Darwin?"
41151Darwin?"
41151Darwin?"
41151Darwin?"
41151Davies?"
41151Davies?"
41151Davies?"
41151Did I say a month?
41151Did Jones think he could win out where McKelvie had been unsuccessful?
41151Did McKelvie have any idea of the man''s identity, or was he also groping in the dark?
41151Did he also play fast and loose in his domestic affairs?"
41151Did he instigate the murder and then in remorse commit suicide?"
41151Did he not tell you what you should or should not say in answer to the coroner''s questions?"
41151Did n''t he say he had a bad cold or something of the sort?
41151Did n''t you say yourself that he was there that night when you first showed me his stick- pin?"
41151Did you know that he was here the night of the murder?"
41151Did you know that he was making a new will when he was shot?"
41151Did you never hear of a man''s cleaning his pistol and recharging it?"
41151Did you open the study door even a crack that time by any chance?"
41151Did you recognize the perfume?"
41151Did you remain in the house when Mr. Frank Darwin went to Europe in 1906?"
41151Do n''t you see he has me in his power?"
41151Do n''t you suppose he realized as you did that he was primarily to blame for Mrs. Darwin''s marriage?
41151Do n''t you suppose that if I had any valuable evidence I should have used it to advantage long ere this?"
41151Do you mean that he had been gradually removing them from your care?"
41151Do you see that car?
41151Do you suppose she gave it to him?"
41151Do you think he was in the habit of writing in the dark?"
41151Do you think she''s starving, too?"
41151Does the young idiot think all that could happen in two minutes?
41151Had I locked him in to breathe his last alone, when perhaps I might have saved his life?
41151Had he then been alive when I carried Ruth from the room?
41151Had the case against her progressed to the point where she needed legal advice?
41151Had we any proof that his story was true?
41151Have you come to remind me that it is long past my bed- time?"
41151Have you discovered anything of value so far?"
41151Have you ever studied psychology?
41151Have you forgotten that there are three men guarding the outer door?"
41151He could n''t possibly know when, could he?"
41151He had been successful, but what had he expected to find?
41151He looked at me thoughtfully a moment and then added,"You were wondering why, being a broker yourself, you had not heard of it?
41151He should know how to play fast and loose, eh?
41151He turned to his physician,"You were saying, Doctor?"
41151He''s a red- whiskered chap, is he not?"
41151His voice was so high- pitched with excitement that my questions vanished from my mind as if by magic, and all I could exclaim was,"What is it?
41151How are you going to get around it?"
41151How can I ever thank you?
41151How can that be?"
41151How could he possibly divine that I would urge her to get me that letter when I only spoke on impulse myself?"
41151How dared his father let him loose upon the world without teaching him the first principles of self- restraint?
41151How did McKelvie do it?
41151How did he impress you, as regards his character, I mean?"
41151How did the criminal, if he was behind Ruth, shoot Philip Darwin with such accuracy in the dark?"
41151How did you know so unerringly that the lamp was also lighted from the safe?"
41151How do you explain the circumstance?"
41151How do you suppose that entrance came to be there so very handy for the criminal''s purpose?"
41151How does what Cunningham told us affect the case as it now stands?"
41151How many of last night''s events had come under his notice?
41151How much had I forgotten in the six months that had passed?
41151How then do you account for the discrepancies in these various facts, for facts they are?"
41151I can give the same evidence I gave before?"
41151I do n''t happen to possess that, too, do I?"
41151I gave him my hand, but not over- cordially as I said, suspiciously,"How did you know I was here?"
41151I heard Lee''s wondering,"Uncle Phil?"
41151I remarked that a broker ought to know how to play fast and loose, and he replied:''Yes, and other things, too, eh?
41151I suppose the police explained to your satisfaction how the murderer shot so accurately in the dark?"
41151I turned my car, and drove as swiftly as I dared along Broadway, asking him,"Do you think that Cora Manning is in hiding because of that quarrel?"
41151If he is a lawyer, where does he conduct his practice?
41151If her voice held a tinge of bitterness who can blame her?
41151If she swore she did know that fact, who could contradict her?"
41151If the murderer used Darwin''s pistol, how is it that only Ruth''s finger- prints are on it?"
41151If therefore the uncle deemed her worthy to become his chief legatee, was it not more than likely that the nephew was also acquainted with the girl?
41151In God''s name why?
41151In wondering silence we listened to McKelvie''s words and Cora said quickly,"In love with me?
41151Is it because you killed your uncle and are afraid that I will tell what I know?''
41151Is my information correct?"
41151It was then he laughed and said:''So we''ve a broker in the house, eh?
41151Jones''eyebrows went up a trifle, and then he asked,"What was the motive for the murder?"
41151Lee Darwin engaged rooms for that night, did he not?"
41151Lee-- at your house ill?
41151Lee?"
41151May I see him soon?"
41151McKelvie stepped through first and called:"Miss Manning, are you there?"
41151McKelvie took a turn around the room and then asked abruptly,"Does a Mr. Herbert Cunningham, who lives on 84th Street, bank here?"
41151McKelvie?"
41151McKelvie?"
41151Mr. McKelvie, I presume?"
41151No bullet either?
41151Not much of a hold, you think?
41151Not much, was it?"
41151Now I want to know why?"
41151Now, Miss Manning, are you sure he is coming back to- morrow?"
41151Now, the question is, What was he doing between the time he left the hotel and one o''clock on the night of the murder?
41151Oh, I say, McKelvie, what about letting me get busy on the trail of the revolver that made that second shot?
41151Or had the boy been merely pretending to be unconscious, and the old man had been a confederate in the game which they were playing to trap McKelvie?
41151Philip Darwin had an account here, did he not?"
41151Rather a familiar combination, eh?
41151See how quickly you can solve this mystery, wo n''t you please?
41151Seeing that he was getting nowhere he dropped the point, and asked:"Did you also see the pistol in Mrs. Darwin''s hand?"
41151Supposing there had been someone behind you, could you have heard that person?"
41151Sure the bullet fits the pistol?"
41151That something could have been done to save him?"
41151That would imply Lee''s innocence, yet what other possible motive could he have for disappearing?"
41151The question was, how?
41151Then I heard him add to himself,"Where can she be?
41151Then what?"
41151Then you mean that Lee killed his uncle?"
41151Then, of course,''with a still deeper purr,''you have brought me the bullet itself?''
41151This applies to all the servants, you can swear to that?"
41151Trenton?"
41151Trenton?"
41151Was I too beginning to have hallucinations?
41151Was he merely theorizing, or did he know more than he had told me?
41151Was he someone I knew or a stranger who had hitherto remained unsuspected by us?
41151Was he still in the city or had he left the country?
41151Was it because he was the murderer?
41151Was it merely in the capacity of her friend?"
41151Was it my fancy, or did he pale?
41151Was that all he said?"
41151Was that the way it happened?"
41151Well, doctor?"
41151Well, what of it?
41151Well?"
41151Were you able to tell what it was?"
41151What chance had I of using my knowledge to account?
41151What chance then had the truth for even so much as lifting its head?
41151What did he look like, anyway?"
41151What do you know about this affair?"
41151What does the criminal do then?
41151What does the doctor say?"
41151What else would you expect of Jones?
41151What had occasioned this sudden need for so much cash?
41151What has happened?"
41151What is it?
41151What is the room directly above this end of the study?"
41151What is your father''s present address?"
41151What made you keep them?"
41151What other reason could Dick have for the deception which he had practised upon us all?
41151What paradox was this, then?
41151What part of the room did it appear to come from?"
41151What right had any man to bring up a son in that fashion?
41151What was he getting at, anyway?
41151What was the motive?
41151What was the subject of this quarrel?"
41151What was their reason, do you suppose?"
41151What was to prevent his repeating the act when he realized the injustice that had been done Ruth in forcing her to marry such a man?
41151What were you doing there at that time of night?"
41151What would you?"
41151What''s Cunningham''s relation to the murdered man?"
41151What''s the rest of your story?"
41151When?"
41151Where did he come from?"
41151Where did he go between the morning of the eighth and the afternoon of the ninth?
41151Where did it seem to come from?"
41151Where do you suppose he has hidden Cora Manning?"
41151Where had he been when Ruth left the drawing- room and how close was he to the scene of the tragedy when the shot was fired?
41151Where?
41151Who else could have done it?"
41151Who is in there with you?"
41151Who is this mysterious man?"
41151Who was Gilmore any way?
41151Who was he?
41151Who, then, was the man we had found dead in this room, the man we had buried under Darwin''s name?
41151Whose was the blood- stained handkerchief?"
41151Why did the doctors disagree, and which was in the right?
41151Why did you deny knowing Cora Manning at the inquest?"
41151Why do n''t you get a divorce or at least a separation?
41151Why do you suppose the murderer took the trouble to make those marks in the carpet except to fool the police?"
41151Why had he drugged me then?
41151Why on earth did you pick that old fossil to defend her?"
41151Why should I make it up?
41151Why then did he remain in hiding, or had he returned to Chicago without making use of his"weapon"when he learned that Darwin was dead?
41151Why then does n''t the other bulb light also?"
41151Why was he permitting Cunningham to remain in ignorance of our latest discovery concerning Richard Trenton?
41151Why was it then that Jones and I did not guess the truth the night we heard Lee''s story?"
41151Why was the pistol fired at midnight?"
41151Why?
41151Why?"
41151Will you answer a few more questions?"
41151Would either of them know the combination?"
41151Would he tell me or Orton to summon her?
41151Yes, and how much store would the jury set by Mrs. Darwin''s account then?"
41151Yet what did McKelvie hope to learn by visiting the scene of the suicide?
41151Yet, how could it possibly be?
41151You are not saying it just to comfort me?"
41151You are positive you heard the key turned in the study door when you stood in the hall at ten minutes to twelve?"
41151You are sure you did not light it yourself, unconsciously, perhaps?"
41151You did not hear it fall near you, for instance?"
41151You did not know the object was a pistol you said?"
41151You do n''t suspect him?"
41151You mean-- Cora Manning?"
41151You saw him?"
41151You thought I was such a fool that I would n''t prepare for your visit, eh?
41151You understand?"
41151You''ll excuse us if we hurry along?"
41151You-- you mean murdered?"
41151You-- you wish him to identify the body?"
41151Yourself or your client?"
41151and when I flushed she added more quietly,"Wo n''t you come and sit beside me, please?"
60955And now you have amended your motto to''to the end of the Earth and beyond''?
60955And why not? 60955 Are you compelling me to do something?"
60955Are you laughing at me with your eyes?
60955But what have the Polite People to do with murder? 60955 Close, but could you turn it just a little darker?"
60955Could you possibly--?
60955Did all the pilots ask to see your eyes?
60955Is Masters one of the young pilots?
60955Is it that the direct gaze of the Puds kills?
60955Is there anything at all else you would like to know?
60955Look like that? 60955 Saving your grace, and formula of a formula, what would you have me tell you about?"
60955Saving your presence, and formula of a formula, what would we have to be violent about? 60955 Suppose that a burglar( for politeness sake called something else) were apprehended by a policeman( likewise), what would happen?"
60955That he will die of shame? 60955 Then there is a real reason for it?
60955Then you have just murdered me?
60955What did all your young pilots die of?
60955What will I die of?
60955What will prevent me?
60955Why did you do it to me?
60955With or without boodle?
60955Would you swear that I have not been given some fatal sickness?
60955You are asking that?
60955You mean they can take on the appearance of people at will?
60955And can you tell it to me?"
60955And if the burglar( not so called) remains unapprehended?
60955And then the burglar( not so called)?"
60955And what of other crimes?"
60955But why build a fence around it?"
60955Could I talk to Bently?"
60955Crude- featured, almost horse- faced, how could they all look like that?
60955Do you have to know why?"
60955How is the loss of the goods or property recorded?"
60955Is it simply custom?"
60955Is that a euphemism?"
60955Or shall I improvise where you do not remember?"
60955What possible cause?"
60955Why are the Polite People of Pudibundia so polite?
60955Why wo n''t I return?"
60955Would n''t a superior be too polite to give a reprimand to an inferior?"
62085But what do you or any other earthmen know about what goes on in their round red heads? 62085 But why?"
62085Deviltry?
62085Hold me for trial?
62085How were you able to force your way in here?
62085Killing?
62085Music?
62085Supersonics?
62085Then you admit killing Haller?
62085To make them change the tune and break up the revolt?
62085What happened?
62085What kind of deviltry is this?
62085What... what is it?
62085Where are they?
62085While the real killer, the person playing that music, gets away? 62085 You mean they''re what created the emotions inside me just now?"
62085You sent to Earth a while ago for an operator?
62085And who''s next?
62085But suppose during that period with no check on their activities, they started to dish out nationalist propaganda?
62085Haller?"
62085I might believe you, Ranson, but how many other people would?
62085What makes you think there''s been foul play?"
62085Who?"
62085You begin to see the set- up?
62085You have played our tunes to the remaining two, Zeila?"
49931About three this afternoon be okay?
49931About what?
49931An ex- student who is in trouble?
49931And Eloise?
49931And if you do n''t?
49931And then all of a sudden it''s going to be some kind of an answer to everything?
49931Another drink?
49931Any luck?
49931Are n''t there any records? 49931 Are n''t you cold?"
49931Are n''t you just a little too damn convenient? 49931 Are there any other relatives in town, beside George?"
49931Are there any teachers here who would have been here when Miss Major was here?
49931Are you all right? 49931 Are you drunk?"
49931Are you employed?
49931Are you familiar with the state laws and local ordinances covering private investigators?
49931Are you licensed in any state?
49931Are you married? 49931 Are you serious in thinking they would kill you?"
49931Are you sure it was George?
49931Are you sure?
49931Are you, Tal?
49931Are you, Tal?
49931Brothers or sisters?
49931Busy little man, is n''t he?
49931But after we count it?
49931But how can I know when you''re lying and when you''re not?
49931But the name Cindy means something?
49931But what are you investigating?
49931But what did he say about her?
49931But what for? 49931 But you promise a fair start?"
49931But you''re back and you''re not married?
49931Can I help in any way?
49931Can we circle around and get to the boat?
49931Can you and I-- can we trust each other, Tal?
49931Can you think of who it could be?
49931Captain,Prine said,"shall I have the men keep looking?
49931Charlotte? 49931 Cindy Kirschner?"
49931Cindy? 49931 Could I talk to your daughter?"
49931Could he have meant some other Cindy?
49931Could n''t you go around wearing a wreath or singing hymns like Crossing the Bar?
49931Could you tell me how I could locate her?
49931Could you tell me where she lives?
49931Damn it, how can you figure a thing like that?
49931Damn it, how did you manage to mess this up, Tal Howard?
49931Dark- haired girl?
49931Did Buck approve of that?
49931Did Fitz send for you?
49931Did he say how he killed Grassman? 49931 Did he try to trace her?"
49931Did he?
49931Did you have a good time? 49931 Do I have to have a reason?"
49931Do I know you?
49931Do you have any criminal record?
49931Do you know a girl around town named Toni Raselle?
49931Do you know a woman named Rose Fulton?
49931Do you remember Timmy Warden?
49931Do you remember who played the part of Cindy in the skit?
49931Do you say things like that just so you can listen to yourself saying them?
49931Do you think that worries me? 49931 Do you want me to come there?
49931Do you? 49931 Ever say anything about his relatives?"
49931Find that girl yet?
49931Find them?
49931Fitzmartin?
49931For what reason?
49931For what?
49931Has he stayed away?
49931Have you got a bed?
49931He could have called her Cindy because of the skit?
49931He is dead, is n''t he?
49931Hell, did you know Timmy? 49931 Hello?"
49931Hello?
49931Hello?
49931Help those gutless wonders? 49931 How about that Stamm girl?
49931How about that, folks? 49931 How about that?
49931How about you, Tal? 49931 How are we going to divide it up?"
49931How come you think she''s crazy, Donna?
49931How come?
49931How did you get along with George, Howard?
49931How do I get in touch with her?
49931How do you come into this?
49931How do you know he''s dead?
49931How do you know my name?
49931How do you know she has n''t taken the money and left?
49931How do you mean that?
49931How do you mean?
49931How do you mean?
49931How long did you work for them?
49931How many shots did he fire into the cave?
49931How much?
49931How should I go about finding out who that girl was?
49931How well did you know Timmy?
49931How-- how would Timmy get hold of money like that?
49931I beg your pardon?
49931I do n''t think we can handle it that way, do you?
49931I said are you staying another day?
49931I think we better go there together, do n''t you?
49931I''ll have to, wo n''t I?
49931I''ve got the name right, have n''t I? 49931 I''ve told you all you''ve got to know, have n''t I?"
49931If a man came to town with a cooked- up story about writing a book, it would give him a chance to nose around, would n''t it?
49931If you remember, could you get in touch with me?
49931In spite of the money hunger?
49931In the camp with him? 49931 Intense?
49931Is it dangerous?
49931Is she ill?
49931Is that you, Tal? 49931 Is the lumberyard far from here?"
49931Is your daughter about the same age Cindy would have been?
49931Is your name Rasi?
49931Island?
49931Just what do you mean?
49931Knew Timmy, did you? 49931 Like that?"
49931Like what?
49931Maybe something nice out of the store? 49931 Maybe you want to try and stop me?
49931Missing, is n''t he?
49931Mystery, hey? 49931 Need some kind of therapy?"
49931Now what student was it?
49931Now what''s the mystery?
49931Now you know where he meant?
49931On this vehicle registration, do you own the vehicle free and clear?
49931Out of your system?
49931Parents living?
49931Police, eh? 49931 Ruin your clothes?
49931See? 49931 Shall I row?"
49931She''s in town?
49931Should n''t we count it first?
49931Should we talk to Captain Marion?
49931Something I can do for you?
49931Something I can do for you?
49931Strange guy, is n''t he?
49931Stranger in town, are you? 49931 Suppose he does n''t come back here with the money?"
49931Tal? 49931 Thanks, Ruth, but really I couldn''t--""Why not?
49931That thing George married? 49931 That''s unusual?
49931Then I wo n''t be able to either, will I?
49931Then dinner tonight and a movie or something?
49931There in the camp, eh? 49931 They would kill you?"
49931This coming Saturday? 49931 Timmy and Cindy?
49931Trouble? 49931 Want to hear about Timmy and me?
49931Was Timmy a disciplinary problem?
49931Was Timmy friendly with her?
49931Was n''t there one named Cindy?
49931Was there another Cindy in the class?
49931Well?
49931Were you booked and mugged and fingerprinted and found guilty?
49931Were you employed by Rose Fulton to come to Hillston?
49931Were you in love with him?
49931What about Timmy?
49931What about her? 49931 What about?"
49931What are you doing here? 49931 What are you doing in Hillston, Tal?
49931What are you doing? 49931 What are you looking for?"
49931What boat, damn it?
49931What boat?
49931What did he actually die of? 49931 What did he want to talk about?"
49931What did those Chicago people say? 49931 What did you want to talk about?"
49931What did you want to talk to George about, son?
49931What do they look like?
49931What do you do? 49931 What do you mean, Captain?"
49931What do you mean, Ruth?
49931What do you mean, Steve?
49931What do you mean? 49931 What do you mean?"
49931What do you suggest, sir?
49931What do you think the Rasi girl was going to do when you turned the money over to Fitzmartin? 49931 What do you want to talk to me about?"
49931What do you want with oars?
49931What does he know? 49931 What does she do?"
49931What else have you written?
49931What for?
49931What fouled you up, Tal? 49931 What girl?"
49931What goes on anyhow? 49931 What good does it do you to follow me?"
49931What happened to your face?
49931What happened when you got there?
49931What is she like, Tal?
49931What is your local address?
49931What kind of a guy was he, Ruth?
49931What kind of place you running? 49931 What makes you think your husband is dead?"
49931What shape was she in?
49931What should we do?
49931What the hell have you been mixed up in?
49931What was it you wanted?
49931What was she like?
49931What was your last address?
49931What were you planning to do?
49931What will it mean to you?
49931What will she do?
49931What will we do?
49931What''s he doing down there?
49931What''s he like?
49931What''s his line of work?
49931What''s the matter with you?
49931What''s the matter?
49931What''s the matter?
49931What''s the score, Dan?
49931What''s wrong? 49931 What''s your name?"
49931What_ do_ you want to do?
49931Whatever has happened to Cindy Kirschner, Mr. Howard? 49931 When do we go after the money?"
49931When were you last employed and by who?
49931Where did you get this?
49931Where is it, Tal?
49931Where is she?
49931Where is she?
49931Where should we have lunch? 49931 Where''s Ruth?"
49931Where''s the money hidden?
49931Where?
49931Who are you, friend?
49931Who should I talk to next about Timmy?
49931Who was Butch?
49931Who was his friend?
49931Who?
49931Whozit?
49931Why are they after him? 49931 Why are you so interested in finding this Cindy?"
49931Why come at all?
49931Why did n''t she come and get the money herself, once she knew where it probably was?
49931Why did n''t you tell George Warden that?
49931Why did you ask that man that question?
49931Why did you break into that camp?
49931Why did you come to Hillston?
49931Why does every type you meet try to tell you what you really are?
49931Why the hell did n''t you bring all the stuff along right in the car? 49931 Why would he do that to George?
49931Why, for God''s sake?
49931Will it? 49931 Will you have people look for her?
49931Would George take her back?
49931Writer, are you? 49931 Yes?"
49931Yes?
49931You arranged this?
49931You could be picked up?
49931You did n''t tell Fitzmartin, either?
49931You do n''t seem to think of much of anything, do you?
49931You sure you want to?
49931You used to go with Timmy, did n''t you?
49931You would, would n''t you? 49931 You''d feel better if we stayed together until we get it, would n''t you?"
49931You''ll wait here?
49931You''re working for Rose Fulton, are n''t you?
49931Your name Howard?
49931A room all mirrors?
49931A sentimental journey all the way from prison camp to dig up poor little me?"
49931A turnstile?"
49931Actually?"
49931After he stopped going with you, who did he go with before he went into the army?"
49931Al, can you tow the car on into town all right?"
49931And maybe as restless as I am?"
49931And who are you, lady?
49931And why was it done?"
49931And you know what I think?
49931And-- may I have the picture back?"
49931Are n''t you supposed to stamp your feet or something?"
49931Are the oars in the shed?"
49931Are you certain that''s the right name?"
49931Are you looking for a job?"
49931As soon as he was gone I said,"Antoinette?"
49931As we got into the car I said,"How did the Bronsons take it?"
49931Attractive color, do n''t you think?
49931Blackmail?
49931Busy, are n''t you?"
49931But how about the law?"
49931But it turned out to be just like finding money, did n''t it?"
49931But why would Fitz want to implicate me?
49931Can we talk for a minute?
49931Can you pick me up at twelve- fifteen here?"
49931Can you remember that?"
49931Can you stand more coffee?
49931Can you swim?"
49931Concealing The evidence of a crime?
49931Could I take you to lunch today?"
49931Could you have been the one?"
49931Did Timmy ever talk about the cabin?"
49931Did he tell you about me?"
49931Did n''t the police give you the word?"
49931Did they find the bodies, Tal?"
49931Did you count the money?
49931Did you dig those country- style threads?
49931Did you get in touch?"
49931Did you know a Miss Major who used to teach here?"
49931Did you know that?
49931Did you like what you saw?"
49931Did you see George come in?"
49931Do I look it?"
49931Do n''t you think so?
49931Do you happen to know what happened to the household effects when he sold to Syler?"
49931Do you think he''ll just ask you, politely?
49931Do you understand that?"
49931Do you understand?"
49931Does she know where the loot is?"
49931Drink?"
49931Drugs?"
49931Ever feel like that?"
49931Ever hear that expression?
49931Finally I said,"What''s the matter?"
49931Find her?"
49931Gambling?
49931Got that?"
49931Guess you''d know him, would n''t you?"
49931Have a nice lunch with Ruthie?
49931Have you ever been married?"
49931Have you noticed that?"
49931He leaned across the empty seat and said,"What''s the trouble?"
49931He talk about her?"
49931He turned back to me and said,"How do you figure on writing up Timmy?"
49931Herman, could you find anybody else who heard anything?"
49931Historical stuff?"
49931How about Fitzmartin?
49931How about road blocks?"
49931How are you coming?"
49931How come he was running around loose?"
49931How did you track me down, Tal Howard?"
49931How do I look, Tal?"
49931How do you like that?
49931How do you want it worked?"
49931How is that cutie?"
49931How long ago was she here?"
49931How long have you been in Hillston?"
49931How much is there?"
49931How''s the light?"
49931How?"
49931I should be laughing?"
49931I turned and said,"What?"
49931I-- is he a good friend of yours?"
49931If you were hunting for bodies, Finister, where would you look?"
49931Is it far to a gas station?"
49931Is it something you ca n''t tell me?"
49931Is n''t that ridiculous?"
49931Is n''t that some kind of animal over there?
49931Is n''t that strange?
49931Is n''t there any place you could look?"
49931Is n''t this day a stinker, though?
49931Is she nice?"
49931Is that clear to you?"
49931Is that it?"
49931Is the shed locked?"
49931Is this her home?"
49931It has n''t worked, has it?
49931Know what I mean?
49931Leach?"
49931Like some nice money?"
49931Lonesome?
49931Mr. Howard, are you in some kind of trouble?"
49931Need a nice over and under, with gold inlay, French walnut stock?
49931Not in trouble?
49931Now Ruthie, what in the wide world were you doing down there at that White''s Hotel?"
49931Now will you trust me out of your sight?"
49931On account of the girl?
49931On your way through?"
49931Or does Doyle drink it?"
49931Playing the market?
49931Remember him?"
49931Right now?"
49931Rorick?"
49931Rorick?"
49931Rorick?"
49931Rorick?"
49931Ruth, smiling, asked in a low voice,"More questions?"
49931Ruthie, what took you down there this morning?"
49931See how nice I am to you?
49931See it?
49931See it?
49931Shall I go get him?"
49931She helped out by saying, suddenly,"What''s been going on down in Hillston, anyhow?
49931Should I be there at ten?"
49931So what the hell was this?
49931So where do we go?"
49931So-- this is George''s money then, is n''t it?"
49931Stearns?"
49931Sure you would n''t want to see if you''re lucky?"
49931Tal, where are you?"
49931Teeth like this?"
49931That poor Fulton woman, if she wants to spend her money, why do n''t you let her?
49931That''s a good thing, is n''t it?"
49931That''s a shame, is n''t it?"
49931The lake?
49931The sad story?
49931Then why had Grassman been killed?
49931They give you all the bawdy details?"
49931They think he took her?"
49931This belongs to her?
49931Tom, can you detail some of your boys to help out in the morning?"
49931Was I drunk?
49931Was he allowed to live long enough to give you enough material?"
49931Was it Grassman?
49931Was it that man over there who claims to be writing a book?
49931Was it the time of year when there would n''t be people up at the lake?"
49931We exchanged inanities until she pointed up at the ceiling with her thumb and said,"Going to try your luck tonight?
49931Were they friendly?"
49931Were you at-- that place?"
49931What about college for the kids?
49931What broke your wagon?"
49931What business are you in?"
49931What can the rabbit say to the barrel of a gun?
49931What can we prove that will stand up?
49931What did you come around here for?"
49931What did you do with it?"
49931What did you do with the boat?
49931What did you say your name is?"
49931What do I do?
49931What do you say?"
49931What do you think?"
49931What do you want Antoinette for?"
49931What do you want here, anyway?
49931What do you want?"
49931What does your watch say?"
49931What goes on?
49931What is it?"
49931What is your full name?"
49931What kept you?"
49931What kind of a place is that, anyhow?"
49931What protection have I got?
49931What the hell did you expect to find?
49931What the hell was he doing?
49931What was he looking over here for?"
49931What were you doing there?"
49931What would he have done?"
49931What would it mean if I told you I wo n''t?"
49931What would make you think to ask that Mr. Grassman that question?"
49931What''s all the blood on your clothes?
49931What''s happened?"
49931What''s it doing here?"
49931What''s on your mind?"
49931What''s there here to write about?
49931What''s wasted about it?
49931What''s with Timmy?
49931What''s with you?"
49931When are you people going to wake up down there?
49931When he brought my glass back from the beer tap I said,"What do people do for excitement around this town?"
49931When the day comes, how do we bargain for life?
49931Where are we going?"
49931Where can we drop you off?"
49931Where did it all go?
49931Where did you get it?"
49931Where does he come from?"
49931Where is Grassman?
49931Where is she?"
49931Where is the money?"
49931Where will we go from there, Tal?"
49931Where''s Antoinette?
49931Where''s the boat?
49931Who is this calling, please?"
49931Who was it?
49931Who was she?"
49931Why are you after the money?"
49931Why are you asking all this?"
49931Why did Fitz kill Grassman?
49931Why did he follow us?"
49931Why did n''t you check out?"
49931Why do n''t we circle around and get the baggage first?
49931Why do you want to know about Cindy?"
49931Why had it been necessary to kill Grassman?
49931Why had it been put in my car?
49931Why is that?"
49931Why should he?
49931Will you help?"
49931Women?
49931Would you care for some?"
49931You a salesman?"
49931You an old friend or something?"
49931You know?
49931You looking for her?"
49931You married?"
49931You saw the place?"
49931You want more coffee, maybe?
49931You want to be broken the rest of the way?"
49931You want to know about her?"
49931You''re between lives, are n''t you?
49931You''re really worried about her, are n''t you?
61863Didja hear what the collector said?
61863Have a drink? 61863 How are you, Captain?"
61863How can that be, cap''n?
61863How come sorry, Sam?
61863I kinda wanted to finance a deal that''s too big for me to swing-- is this the place?
61863Milord no like vickvare? 61863 Pretty effective disguise, eh?
61863Whatcha in for?
61863Where will the call come from?
61863Who is that old man? 61863 Why not?"
61863Would n''t be interested in a bit of cargo, would you?
61863You''ve hocked this before?
61863Zhipluds, eh? 61863 Can you recommend lawyer? 61863 Cappy Wilkerson was a careful and upright man and a lifelong friend; what manner of charge could they have trumped up against him? 61863 Come in here and let me show you something?
61863Could it be that this was some minion of the collector trying to trick him, or was he acting for Mr. Brown?
61863How?
61863Maybe boss ut see, eh?"
61863Milord go now?"
61863Now tell me, Hank, what do you want me to do?
61863So what?"
61863The far Trojans is my bailiwick and the asteroids in that corner....""Really?"
61863This makes the second one of these old coots we''ve hauled up this month-- what do you say, shall we call this one conspiracy?"
61863Vat vishes milord?"
61863What did it mean?
61863What do you want?"
61863What is your collateral?"
61863Why?
61863You might not have money enough to buy''em in, but sorta keep track of''em, wo n''t you?
61863You pay?"
57295''But,''you will perhaps observe,''what has all this rigmarole to do with the question of the Great Mogul Diamond?'' 57295 ''But-- but I have always understood that a certain Lady Pollexfen was the owner of Dupley Walls?''
57295''Does this staircase lead to the hiding- place of the Diamond?'' 57295 ''Has she any of her children living with her?''
57295''Then why have you left him?'' 57295 ''Then you are acquainted with Lady Pollexfen?''
57295''What is your name, sir? 57295 After the suicide of your colonel did you mention the supposed robbery of the diamond to any one else?"
57295Ay-- who better? 57295 But how will you manage about waiting at table?"
57295But why could you not write to me?
57295But why is it there at all?
57295Did I know curly- pated, black- eyed Master Charley?
57295Did you know Captain Pollexfen?
57295Even so; but how can I strive, when I have nothing to strive against? 57295 Have you seen a mouse, or what has frightened you?
57295Is it a flavour that you like, or one that you dislike?
57295Is it not possible that Lady Pollexfen may want you to read the letter?
57295Is the time of your leaving me so near?
57295My good Madgin, do you know what it is to hate?
57295Sir-- Captain Ducie-- what is the matter? 57295 So you are James Jasmin from Dupley Walls, are you?"
57295So, my good man, I understand that you were acquainted with my son, the late Captain Pollexfen, who died in India twenty years ago?
57295To hate with a hatred that dwarfs all other passions of the soul, and makes them pigmies by comparison? 57295 Was it whim or madness that caused Sir John Pollexfen to leave orders that his body should be kept above ground for twenty years?"
57295Weil, Jasmin, and how did you leave my friend Mr. Madgin? 57295 Were you with him when he died?"
57295What do you mean by a workhouse? 57295 What do you say to five thousand pounds?"
57295What is the matter, child?
57295Whatever did you do to her ladyship this morning?
57295Who shall tell by what motive he was influenced when he had that particular clause inserted in his will? 57295 Why ca n''t you be content with what I tell you, and leave the rest to me?"
57295Why has it not been made before now?
57295You do n''t think, dear boy, that a foolish paper like that would be worth anything in a court of law?
57295You have some communication which you wish to make to me respecting my dead son?
57295Your ladyship said five thousand pounds, if I mistake not?
57295''Better-- better-- all right now,''were his first words; then turning his lack- lustre eyes on me,''Who are you?''
57295''But by what means did Captain Pollexfen become possessed of so valuable a stone?''
57295''But how do you know, Rung, that the box contained a diamond?''
57295''But why should Captain Pollexfen carry so valuable a stone about his person?''
57295''From Dupley Walls, did you say?''
57295''Had you not better let me go to- night?''
57295''Once more I ask, Who are you?''
57295''Then what, in the fiend''s name, does Cleon mean by writing that he has implicit confidence in you?
57295''Was the diamond you speak of a very valuable one?''
57295''What have you lost, sir?
57295''When can you start for Windermere?''
57295''Would he ever return?''
57295''Would it not have been wiser to deposit it in the bank at Bombay till such time as the captain could take it with him to England?''
57295And even granting the worst-- that Platzoff suspected him of stealing the Diamond, even charged him with stealing it?
57295And why should we grieve that such is the case?
57295Are we about to retire on our fortunes, or what does it all mean?"
57295Are you obliged to leave here immediately, or can you remain a short time in the neighbourhood?"
57295Are you wounded?"
57295Are you wounded?''
57295As he shook me by the hand for the last time he said,''You will never leave my mother, will you, Dance?''
57295But presently came the thought-- where is Cleon?
57295But we must look over these little effusions, eh, Miss Holme?
57295But why do you ask?"
57295But why go,_ cher ami?_ Why not extend your visit till-- till you are tired of us and our quiet life, if, indeed, you are not that already?"
57295But why go,_ cher ami?_ Why not extend your visit till-- till you are tired of us and our quiet life, if, indeed, you are not that already?"
57295Do you want to break your poor father''s heart?"
57295Had there not been some terrible encounter between him and Ducie, and had not the mulatto had the worst of it?
57295How can one have implicit confidence in a man whom one has only known for four weeks?
57295How could I blame Mr. Fairfax for the non- possession of a quality which Nature had utterly denied him?
57295How soon shall you be prepared to begin your new duties?"
57295How would that read, eh?"
57295I exclaimed,''what is the matter?
57295If alive, where is he now living?
57295If he did really steal the diamond, are not the chances as a hundred to one that he disposed of it long ago?
57295In other words, what is to be my share of the plunder?"
57295Is he alive or dead?
57295Is it anything I can find for you?''
57295Is not my word sufficient, or do you wish to have it under bond and seal?"
57295Madgin?''
57295Madgin?''
57295Not improbably days would elapse before Platzoff again went to look at his Diamond, and when he should find that it was gone-- what then?
57295Said I,''But how did the Russian know that Captain Pollexfen carried the diamond about his person?''
57295Said I,''But how does it happen, Rung, that you know this?''
57295Said I,''Why did you not tell me till after the Russian had gone away that you saw him steal the diamond?
57295Said Rung, smiling and putting his finger tips together,''How does it happen that I know so much about you?''
57295Suppose I do n''t succeed in laying hold of the Diamond-- what then?
57295Suppose, for instance, that it is deposited by him at his banker''s: in that case, what are your expectations worth?
57295Supposing Captain Ducie to have been the victor in such an encounter, was it at all unlikely that the Diamond was now about his person?
57295Then a voice cried out,''Who are you?
57295They would perceive that he was wounded, and would probably strip him, and then how would it fare with the Diamond?
57295Was I about to be kicked out of Bon Repos as an impostor?
57295Was any other step possible to him?
57295Was either of them aware of the existence of the Diamond, and that it had been hidden in the cave?
57295What are your engagements?
57295What could I?
57295What did he do?
57295What did it matter to me who or what this man''s relations were, when the love with which he had bound me to himself was slowly breaking link by link?
57295What need to tell the old old story over again-- the story of the dawn of love in two young hearts that had never loved before?
57295What say you?''
57295Who are you?
57295Why should he, Ducie, be suspected of stealing it any more than any one else who might happen to be in the house?
57295Why should not I take possession of the paste Diamond?
57295Will you do me the honour of shaking hands with me?
57295Yet why should there be any encounter between the two, if it were not to determine which of them should obtain possession of the Diamond?
57295_ Que dites vous?_"Of course Captain Ducie could do nothing but accede as gracefully as possible to his host''s request.
57295and for what purpose did he fetch that dagger from his room?
57295and how long have you been at Bon Repos?''
57295and what do you want?''
57295and what is the latest news from Dupley Walls?"
57295and what position in life did he really occupy?
57295and where do you come from?
57295do you wish to see me die in a workhouse?"
57295he gasped;''from Dupley Walls in Midlandshire?''
57295in the other?
57295she said, hurriedly, as the major paused for a moment;"and so the duke''s gardener was jealous because you carried away the prize?"
57295sobbed Janet,"are we brought together after all these years only to part again in so short a time?"
57295they seemed to say,"was it for this I took thee to my bosom and called thee friend?"
57295what has he been doing at Tydsbury all this time?"
61271And now, Mr. Radcliffe, why exactly did you come here?
61271Do you know of anyone who would want to kill her?
61271How did you find out? 61271 How had she been killed?"
61271How old was your wife when she died?
61271Occupation?
61271Residence?
61271Why the hesitation?
61271** I wonder who the Man Who Flew is?
61271** I, I, I, I....** RADCLIFFE, WHO KILLED YOUR WIFE?
61271** Radcliffe, who is Sally?
61271** Radcliffe,_ where''s Sally_?
61271** Terror?
61271** WHAT?
61271** What?
61271**"Radcliffe,"he said slowly,"When did you lose your sight?"
61271*******"Radcliffe,"began Keller,"you have n''t reported this to the police, have you?"
61271And how about the dissolving creature?
61271Are you sure it''s not murder by accident-- unintentional manslaughter, as the police term it?
61271Before he could take full control of his body, a thought came:** Rick?
61271Did you catch all that mess?
61271Did you scan it?"
61271Fear- terror- hate- revenge... determination....** Sally?
61271Floating demon-- where?
61271HOW ELSE COULD I GO FROM HERE TO YOUR APARTMENT WITHOUT KNOWING IT WAS RAINING?
61271HOW ELSE WOULD I KNOW THAT IT WAS AT 11:17 THAT YOU FOUND YOUR WIFE DEAD?
61271Had you thought of that?"
61271He continued without letting Radcliffe answer:"Age?"
61271He flashed a thought to the girl in the adjoining room:** Sal, should I give him the H- R treatment?
61271He made the usual Q- R opening; curtly and efficiently:"Your name?"
61271His brain--_undressing_?
61271Hole in the air at-- the desk?
61271How did you come out?
61271ISN''T IT?
61271Keller flashed a thought at Sally:** How does he look?
61271Mind if I go with you back to your apartment to look it over?"
61271Or do you want to burrow around in his subconscious with me a little more?
61271Suicide?
61271Telling him-- what?
61271WHO KILLED YOUR WIFE WITH THAT HANDGUN, AND THEN APPARENTLY DISAPPEARED INTO THIN AIR?
61271What is it-- sort of a sight perception- tuning sense?"
61271What''s your problem?"
61271YOU''RE GONE, AREN''T YOU?
61271You found no handgun in the room when you searched it?"
57296''Where shall I label your luggage for, sir?'' 57296 A daughter, did you not say-- a grown- up daughter?
57296Alone? 57296 And pray, Mademoiselle Coasseuse, who gave you power to dictate under this roof?
57296And pray, sir, what may be your object in asking such a question?
57296Are you sure, dear Lady Pollexfen, that you really threw the Diamond into the water?
57296Can you furnish me with anything like an estimate of its probable value?
57296Did you with your own eyes see Mr. and Miss Van Loal start by the Southampton boat this morning?
57296Do you travel alone?
57296Has Mr. Van Loal come down to breakfast yet, do you know?
57296I suppose you have no objection to my trying the temper of your Diamond on the window?
57296In what can I have the pleasure of serving you, sir?
57296In which direction was she going?
57296Is he a retired grocer? 57296 Is it Dutch?
57296Is that you, child?
57296Is the man mad, or am I drunk?
57296May I ask whether you are acquainted with that gentleman, and whether you can tell me his present address?
57296May I assume that you were acquainted with Mr. Edmund Fairfax?
57296May I take it into my own fingers to examine?
57296May I venture to express a hope that it is not your ladyship''s intention to retain so valuable a gem in your personal possession? 57296 Then you have really decided to start next week?"
57296Was it a token that came to me just as day was beginning to break? 57296 We can not quite afford to have him changed into a young prince,"said Ducie,"or else what would become of you?
57296Well, sir, granting for the sake of argument that there may be some slight residuum of truth in what you have just told me-- what then? 57296 Well-- what news?
57296Were there any letters by the afternoon post yesterday for Mr. Van Loal?
57296What are you about, child?
57296What can I say, papa? 57296 What does the old fool mean by''fighting Fraud with its own weapons?''
57296What if he has swallowed it? 57296 What is it, James?
57296What is it?
57296What is its weight?
57296What, in the fiend''s name, does it all mean?
57296You are a lapidary and dealer in precious stones, I believe?
57296You are the man, I believe, who looks after the letters and attends to the post bag?
57296''Where shall I tell cabby to drive to?''
57296And Mirpah, too-- what of her?
57296And could he complain that he had been otherwise than rightly punished for what he had done?
57296And in what way can I help you?''
57296But now you will tell me, will you not, all that you know or have heard respecting this father whom I shall never see on earth?"
57296But suppose the diver found it and hid it under his tongue, and came to the surface empty- handed?
57296But whose presence?
57296But why had they gone without a hint or word of farewell?
57296By what name is he now known?"
57296Can it be possible, Captain Ducie, that you are the fortunate possessor of such a treasure?
57296Can you come up with her?"
57296Can you remember Mr. Stonor from the country?''
57296Considering the state in which he was when he came to bed, was not the probability in favour of his having left it unfastened?
57296Could it be the mulatto''s intention to skirt the western side of the island and make for Guernsey?
57296Do you wish me to run close up to the_ Belle Rose_, master?
57296Had she a father alive?
57296Had she merely been playing with him all along in order that she might jilt him at last?
57296Have you any objection to purchase this one of me at your own price?"
57296Have you sufficient confidence in him to entrust your cause into his hands?"
57296His custom was to bolt it every night before getting into bed; but did he really bolt it last night?
57296How shall I ever be able to repay him, and you, and dear Father Spiridion, the thousand kindnesses I have received at your hands?
57296I hope, sir, that you follow me thus far?"
57296I want my revenge-- as you would want yours were you in my place-- eh?"
57296If it is smitten, shall it cry out?
57296In what way has he''gulled''me?
57296Is the Diamond to which you refer an ordinary one?
57296May I ask whether it is your intention to dispose of it by private treaty?"
57296May I hope that you and Miss Van Loal will honour me with your company?"
57296May I inquire as to the particular object which has brought you so far from town?"
57296Mirpah, my child, what say you?"
57296Now, I dare say you could tell me the number of Captain Ducie''s room?"
57296Or what was it?
57296Soon the day will come, when---- But why pursue the dreary suggestion any further?
57296Such being the case, what was there left for him but to throw up the sponge, cry quits, and go under as soon as possible?
57296That Cleon had been there could not be doubted; but where was he now?
57296The future?
57296Then he said very quietly:"You are quite sure that it is nothing more than paste?"
57296Then why should I study his interests so particularly?
57296Was he really quite alone?
57296Was he warned by some subtle instinct that one of the great crises of his life was at hand?
57296Was it Shakspeare who talked about"dusty death?"
57296Was it possible that the powerful odour was affecting him as it had affected his victim?
57296Was it-- was it possible that by some devil''s trick the Diamond had been conjured from him?
57296What are you driving at next?"
57296What business was he, I wonder?
57296What could Janet say-- what answer could she make to so strange a confession?
57296What if he has thrown it into the sea?"
57296What if she were learning to regard him with some small portion of the same feeling that he had for her?
57296What if this incipient sadness were merely a symptom of dawning love?
57296What is it that you see, my boy?"
57296What of the woman whom it was his intention to have proposed to that very day?
57296What should she do?
57296What, then, was the meaning of it all?
57296When was the terrible persecution to end?
57296Where should I find anyone who would care to be my companion on such an erratic tour?"
57296Whither could her ladyship have gone?
57296Whither should she look for Lady Pollexfen?
57296Why pain a tender heart by such details?
57296Why rest here in idleness, waiting for pleasant weather?
57296Why, then, should I not marry Miss Van Loal?
57296Would the errand on which George Strickland was gone bring her happiness or misery?
57296Would the lapidary''s shop be open at that early hour?
57296You will not forget?"
57296and by''compelling me to disgorge my ill- gotten gains?''
57296and dead, you say?
57296and if alive, would he prove to be a friend-- a protector?
57296and what could be her motive for going at all?
57296he muttered aloud--"yellow- skinned son of the bottomless pit, so this is your revenge, is it?"
57296if it is outwitted and compelled to disgorge its ill- gotten gains, shall it make a noise in the market- place?
57296my beauty,"apostrophising the Diamond,"so long as I have you, or the worth of you, what care I how the world wags?
57296or Belgian?
57296or a sleeping partner in some old- established bank?"
57296or has it any special features of its own?"
57296or what is it?
57296why pursue the dream any farther?
5150A dead hand?
5150A phantom circuit?
5150About Betty Blackwell?
5150And nothing was taken except some old photographs?
5150And the girl-- Betty Blackwell-- what did she have to do with it?
5150And the taking of the photographs was merely a blind, after not finding it?
5150And then?
5150And you have discovered in this case?
5150And you mean to say that in that way you can actually identify a voice?
5150And you mean to say that that''s going on right here in this city?
5150And you say you lost practically nothing?
5150As a scientist, does the amnesia theory appeal to you, Craig?
5150Besides the cigarettes, was there anything else?
5150Blackened?
5150But I meant how do you suppose he was killed?
5150But what is your explanation? 5150 But who did put in the instrument, really-- did you?"
5150But, you may ask, how about the automobile picture? 5150 But,"I asked, almost in a whisper, as if someone over there might hear me,"is n''t this a very dangerous proceeding, Craig?
5150By the way, did you see Madame Margot herself?
5150By the way,he said in a low voice, leaning over toward her,"have you heard that those pictures of her were faked?
5150Ca n''t we all go together?
5150Ca n''t we buy them off?
5150Ca n''t you do something?
5150Can-- we-- get it?
5150Carton,he said in a milder tone, at length,"what''s the use of all this bluffing?
5150Carton?
5150Did it seem-- straight?
5150Did she come to see whether you got the record?
5150Did you get into the office, learn Langhorne''s habits, and so on, from her?
5150Did you meet the Titian?
5150Did you see anyone else?
5150Do n''t you see it all now? 5150 Do n''t you see?"
5150Do you feel thoroughly beautified?
5150Do you know any more about her?
5150Do you know that girl who just went out?
5150Do you realize what time it is?
5150Do you suppose I''m fool enough to come here and make a dishonest proposition-- here-- right in front of your own friends?
5150Do you think Dorgan and Murtha are hunting the book as anxiously as-- some others?
5150Do you think it is one of those cases like some that Carton has uncovered on the East Side and among girls newly arrived in the city?
5150Do you want to go in?
5150Do you want to know what has become of her, what you are responsible for? 5150 Dorgan?"
5150Got her away-- how-- where?
5150Has a record, I suppose?
5150Has anyone called up?
5150Have n''t you fellows finished yet?
5150Have n''t you got another? 5150 Have you any idea what might have happened to her?"
5150Have you any idea who might pull off such a thing for Dorgan or Murtha?
5150Hello-- Julius? 5150 How about that safe robbery, Kennedy?
5150How about the operator?
5150How about the people there?
5150How about the story of them? 5150 How can I?
5150How did he seem-- irrational?
5150How did you find out about the detectaphone being there?
5150How did you get it?
5150How do you do, Judge?
5150How do you know?
5150How do you study them?
5150How do you suppose it happened?
5150How do you suppose such a thing is possible-- that he could lie about the city, even here until the night keeper came on,--unknown?
5150How is it working?
5150How many private dining- rooms are there?
5150How?
5150How?
5150How?
5150How?
5150How?
5150I called you?
5150I suppose you know what Miss Blackwell was?
5150I suppose your investigators have had more or less to do with watching the progress of drug habits?
5150I suppose, Miss Kendall, we may depend on you to join us?
5150I wonder if you have ever heard of the Reichert blood test? 5150 I wonder if you would excuse me while I drop downstairs to look over things there-- perhaps ingratiate myself with that Titian?
5150I wonder what that blonde woman wore that for?
5150I wonder what that is that Harris seems to be passing out to them?
5150In other words, you think the Reform League has you beaten?
5150In what shape is the record, do you suppose?
5150Is Dr. Harris in?
5150Is it you, Professor Kennedy?
5150Is n''t he back yet?
5150Is n''t he going to say anything about it?
5150Is n''t it clever, though? 5150 Is that true-- about the Montmartre?"
5150Is there no one in all this great city,appealed the distracted little woman with outstretched arms,"who can find my daughter?
5150Is there no way to correct the mistake?
5150Just how do you think he might be involved?
5150Know about Langhorne-- the fellow that was-- that I robbed?
5150Lost his nerve?
5150Mary Ogleby-- eloped?
5150Meanwhile, would you like to know who your''wolf''is that has been spreading rumours about broadcast?
5150Miss Kendall,asked Kennedy,"did you notice anything particularly downstairs?
5150Miss Kendall?
5150Must marriage end all-- all happiness?
5150Must you go?
5150No-- what was it?
5150Nothing that might be used by an enemy for any purpose?
5150Now Langhorne-- what do you know about him?
5150Now if you find such a break in the same letter in another piece of typewriting, what would you think?
5150Now, how did the robber get in?
5150Now, who was the man above you, to whom you reported?
5150Oh, Murtha,he remonstrated with just a twinkle in his eye,"you do n''t think I believe that sort of soft stuff, do you?
5150Oh,exclaimed Clare, as she ran through the writing,"that is this new portrait parle, the spoken picture, is n''t it?"
5150Pat Murtha,ejaculated Craig,"in a sanitarium?"
5150Pomeroy?
5150Real ones?
5150Right there?
5150Rumour? 5150 Say, Kennedy, you''re not going to desert me?"
5150Say-- what are youse guys doin'', huh?
5150Shall I?
5150She-- at a dinner-- with Mr. Murtha? 5150 Silly?
5150So they''ve retained you, have they, Ike?
5150So you knew about thermit, then?
5150So, you have already investigated the Little Montmartre?
5150So,he shouted at last,"you are going to try some of those fine little scientific tricks on us, are you?"
5150Suppose we walk a little way downtown with Carton?
5150Tanguez- vous?
5150That robbery of Langhorne''s safe was a most peculiar thing, was n''t it?
5150That was your gun moll who just went out, was n''t it?
5150The door was open when you returned?
5150The guy with the glasses?
5150The question is, whom are we going to get whom we can trust to go to that dope joint and explore it?
5150Then it is war-- without quarter?
5150Then it must have been someone in the house or at least familiar with it?
5150Then we can be-- friends?
5150Then what of it?
5150Then you can identify these letters positively?
5150Then you have n''t heard it?
5150Then you think it is a good tip?
5150Then you think you can trace down the forger of those pictures before it is too late?
5150Then you would stick your foot out-- and perhaps lose the race yourself?
5150Then you-- you have n''t forgotten poor little me?
5150Then,pursued Kennedy, pacing the floor thoughtfully,"the next question is, How are we to proceed?
5150Thermit?
5150These are the marks on the door, I presume?
5150They heard you talking that last time, and you have locked the door against them? 5150 Think of it?"
5150To- day''s the day, is it?
5150Too late?
5150Under arrest? 5150 Veronal?"
5150Well, Mr. Carton, have n''t I made good?
5150Well, what do you think of that?
5150Well,asked Murtha persuasively,"you''ll think it over, first, wo n''t you?"
5150Well?
5150Well?
5150What are they that they should take such pains with them?
5150What are you doing now?
5150What are you going to do?
5150What are you-- according to your own confession? 5150 What did he do with it?"
5150What did you think of Miss Ashton? 5150 What do I care about Martin?
5150What do you call it?
5150What do you mean?
5150What do you mean?
5150What do you mean?
5150What do you mean?
5150What do you suppose Mrs. Ogleby meant in her references to Carton?
5150What do you think it is?
5150What do you think of it?
5150What do you think of that? 5150 What do you think of the rest of the letter?"
5150What do you think of this, Miss Kendall?
5150What has he done?
5150What has that to do with Miss Blackwell, anyhow?
5150What is it, Mary?
5150What is it-- what did you find?
5150What is it?
5150What is it?
5150What is it?
5150What is it?
5150What is it?
5150What is it?
5150What is it?
5150What is that bit of ruled glass?
5150What is the thing?
5150What kind of a weird thing is that?
5150What luck?
5150What makes you suspect him?
5150What of it all?
5150What shall I write?
5150What sort of place was it in which the receivers of the detectaphone were located-- do you know?
5150What was in the book-- mostly, do you imagine?
5150What was it that was overheard?
5150What was that-- a plant?
5150What was the difficulty?
5150What were they?
5150What''s back there?
5150What''s that thing you put on the ledge up there-- a detectaphone?
5150What''s that?
5150What''s the lay?
5150What''s the matter with her?
5150What''s the matter?
5150What''s this I hear about Jack Rubano, Carton?
5150What''s up, Ike?
5150What-- you here?
5150What-- you, Miss Kendall?
5150What? 5150 Where could she go?"
5150Where did he take her?
5150Where did it lead?
5150Where did they take her?
5150Where have you been?
5150Where is Betty Blackwell?
5150Where, then,asked Kennedy,"can photography be considered as irrefutable evidence?
5150Who else was there?
5150Who is it?
5150Who is she?
5150Who is that dark- haired, dark- skinned woman, Marie, do you suppose?
5150Who is that,''way back there, with his chair tipped to the wall, talking to the man with his back to us?
5150Who was it?
5150Who will believe a story like that?
5150Why was it necessary to get Betty Blackwell out of the way?
5150Why was she here?
5150Why will men in a public capacity get mixed up with women of the adventuress type like that, even innocently?
5150Why, what has happened?
5150Why, what is the matter?
5150Why-- why did you go to that dinner with Murtha?
5150Why? 5150 Why?"
5150Wo n''t you dance?
5150Wo n''t you sit down? 5150 Would n''t the telegraphone do?"
5150Would you like to look it over? 5150 Would you like to make twenty- five dollars-- just like that?"
5150Yes,prompted Carton,"and what then-- what did you do with it?"
5150Yes,prompted Kennedy,"but, impersonation-- what do you mean by that?"
5150You did n''t go?
5150You do n''t think people are going to swallow all that stuff, do you?
5150You do n''t think that Langhorne is really in the inner ring, then?
5150You have heard nothing, have no idea where she might have gone-- even for a time?
5150You have heard of the character of some of those dinners?
5150You know all this?
5150You know what Miss Kendall said of decorative surgery, there? 5150 You know where she is, then?"
5150You know young Haxworth?
5150You mean that he wants to lay a foundation now for questioning the accuracy of the Black Book if it ever comes to light?
5150You mean the son of the millionaire who is investigating vice and whom the newspapers are poking fun at?
5150You robbed?
5150You saw Ike the Dropper go out with that man?
5150You see that shadow of the gable, Dorgan?
5150You want me to try a course in artificial beautification, do n''t you?
5150You will come along?
5150You will dine with us, Miss Kendall?
5150You''ll come to see me-- afterwards?
5150You''ll-- think it over?
515072?
5150Above all, what was his game?
5150Almost before I had finished with the carefully framed, glib excuse that I was to make, he shouted to me over the wire,"What do you think, Jameson?
5150Am I to be charged with everything this gang, as you call it, does?
5150And above Murtha?"
5150And the manner?
5150Are you all right?"
5150As for myself, I could not help wondering whether, after all, Murtha might not have been the victim of foul play-- and, if so, by whom?
5150As the encore struck up again, a voice, almost as if it were in the little room alongside us, said,"Why, hello, Maty, why are n''t you dancing?"
5150But I mean what she had actually done?
5150But beyond that-- what?"
5150But did you notice anything else-- as we came in, for instance?"
5150But was that a stall?
5150But you-- well, what''s the answer?
5150But, tell me, how do you know already?
5150By the way, are n''t those orchids gorgeous?"
5150By the way, what have you done with him?"
5150By the way, where''s that thing I left down here for recording voices?"
5150Ca n''t you dig up something from your Star connections?"
5150Ca n''t you help me with some of these parts?"
5150Can you spare the time to run down to the Reform League headquarters with me?"
5150Carton?"
5150Could he have known of the intimacy of his guest at the Gastron dinner with Langhorne, rather than with Murtha, with whom she had gone?
5150Did n''t you ever see them?
5150Did you notice anything about the means of communicating with the outside-- the telephones, for instance?"
5150Did you see it?"
5150Do n''t you ever use them for dictating letters?"
5150Do n''t you see the scheme?
5150Do n''t you suppose the crooks read the scientific and technical papers?
5150Do you go into court with clean hands?
5150Do you want to know what club I think you really belong to-- you who have involved one girl after another in the meshes of this devilish System?
5150Ever hear of that?
5150Evidently the answer was in the affirmative, for Craig asked next,"Well, ca n''t we have the small one?"
5150For what?"
5150Had Kennedy turned medium and sought a message from the other world to solve the inexplicable problems of this?
5150Had she, too, surmised that Murtha had employed his henchman, Dopey Jack, to recover the book from Langhorne?
5150Had they been double- crossed by the man they had chosen for the work, assuming that they knew of and had planned the"job"?
5150Had they failed in it?
5150Have you any objection to going down with me and posing as a reporter from the Star?"
5150Have you ever been up in that part of town?"
5150Have you heard anything of the rumours about Hartley Langhorne and his pool being insolvent?
5150He could n''t be on such intimate terms with one who was paying graft to him as collector otherwise; do you think so?"
5150Hello-- what is it?"
5150Here?
5150How about a private dining- room for three, Julius?"
5150How are you?
5150How did you get it?"
5150How do I know what that fellow is doing now-- perhaps using my name?"
5150How do you know he''s here?
5150How do you know?"
5150How do you suppose they found out that she was interested?"
5150How is it to be done?
5150How would Miss Ashton take it?
5150I have sent for Mr. Kennedy and---""Nothing-- on your honour?"
5150I may keep this and study it at my leisure?"
5150I presume you do n''t want to go up there and look the place over yourself, do you, Carton?"
5150I wonder what he really knew about it-- what secrets he carried away with him?"
5150I wonder what it is?"
5150IV THE ANONYMOUS LETTER"What do you make of that?"
5150If Carton slipped away in this fashion before we could warn him, what might not happen?
5150If this can happen to Dopey Jack, what might not happen to me?"
5150In fact, could the thing have been done by a woman?
5150Is it possible that a girl can disappear in broad daylight in the streets and never be heard of again?
5150Is there anything I can do for you?"
5150It looks to me as if he were waiting for someone-- didn''t it to you, Walter?"
5150Kennedy had been, so far, little more than an interested listener, but now he asked pointedly,"You have copies of the pictures?"
5150May I see it?"
5150Miss Kendall never could, could you?
5150Murtha?"
5150No, do n''t you, as a reporter, see it?
5150Now it''s worth twenty- five beans to me to get that package-- get me?"
5150Ogleby?"
5150Ogleby?"
5150Oh, wo n''t you find her?
5150Oh-- er-- by the way-- what is his name?"
5150Or did they know something about Betty Blackwell?
5150Or had Carton''s relentless pursuit, the raid of Margot''s, and the conviction of Dopey Jack, driven the Smiling Boss really insane?
5150Or was it a result of his excesses?
5150Rather wonderful, is n''t it?"
5150Rubano?
5150See?"
5150Shall I see you to- morrow at headquarters?"
5150She was the girl we saw paying money to Ike the Dropper, you remember-- the one none of us recognized?
5150The question was, however, which of these causes had been in operation in the case of Betty Blackwell?
5150Then, too, in the other house-- You remember I spoke about the girl whom we saw paying Ike the Dropper?
5150There was a battery of white manicure tables, and then the hairdressers and the artists who lay on these complexions-- what do you think of mine?
5150There was a tense look on many a face, as if the owner were asking himself the question,"What are we coming to?
5150There was an unmistakable air of familiarity about it and about the reply,"Why are n''t you, Hartley?"
5150They are battering it down?
5150Vernon Harris, M. D.''You recall that the letter said something about a doctor who was very friendly with that clique the writer mentioned?
5150Wait until--""Wait?"
5150Was Clare safe?
5150Was ever a situation of such peculiar, mixed motives?
5150Was he ill?
5150Was he playing to spare the girl''s feelings merely by allowing the election to go on without a scandal to Carton?
5150Was it about Dopey Jack?
5150Was it because the Bertillon dynamometer appeared at first sight to exonerate Betty Blackwell, at least so far, from any connection with the crime?
5150Was it merely a sham?
5150Was it still some vestige of the old fear under which she had been held so long?
5150Was it that he meant to imply that, after all, the missing Betty Blackwell had had something to do with it?
5150Was she being held as a white slave in some obscure den?
5150Was there an organized band?
5150Was this some kind of spiritism?
5150We could not hear the reply, but Craig added quickly,"I thought there were two?"
5150We have had no chance to finger- print that woman and what good would it do if we had?
5150Were these disappearances merely accidents-- or was there an epidemic of amnesia?
5150Were they framing up something themselves?
5150What are they?
5150What did he mean?
5150What did he mean?
5150What did it mean?
5150What did it mean?
5150What did she say?"
5150What did you think of Carton?"
5150What do you know about graft up there?"
5150What do you mean?
5150What had Craig said to Dorgan?
5150What have we to lose?
5150What if Murtha had got it and had destroyed it before his death?
5150What impressed you about it?"
5150What is her name?"
5150What is it?"
5150What is it?"
5150What is your point number two?"
5150What might be the effect on her of any disillusionment, of any ridicule that Langhorne might artfully heap up?
5150What more natural than to use the dope fiends and the degenerates of the Montmartre gang?"
5150What more natural, then, than while she must keep in hiding to make one visit to the beauty parlour to which so many society women went-- Margot''s?
5150What was a beauty parlour, a cosmetic surgery, for, if it could not be used to save them?
5150What was it that seemed to freeze her tongue now?
5150What was more likely than that Martin Ogleby should have heard of his wife''s escapade?
5150What was the matter with Kahn?
5150What was the significance of the added mystery?
5150What was the thing to do, then?
5150What was this Dopey Jack when ruin stared himself so relentlessly in the face in the person of Carton, calm and cool?
5150What was to be done?
5150What were they talking about?
5150What would happen then?
5150What would they do?
5150What''s that-- you threaten him-- you threaten me?
5150Whatyer givin''us?
5150Whatyer givin''us?"
5150Where does Kahn hang out?
5150Where had she gone?
5150Where had this whole army of vanishers disappeared?
5150Where is Betty Blackwell?
5150Where is Miss Kendall?"
5150Where would that be done in the Montmartre?
5150Where''s Kennedy?"
5150Where-- my mother-- oh, where is mother?"
5150Who are you, anyway?
5150Why do n''t you use the detectaphone-- get our own little Black Book?"
5150Why do you come to me?
5150Why do you suspect Langhorne?"
5150Why not?"
5150Why should I not have my-- my freedom, too?
5150Why, they have thought out the only possible way in which to beat it, do n''t you see?
5150Why,"he pursued,"do n''t you see what it means?
5150Will someone find Carton?
5150Will you or wo n''t you take twenty- five of easy money?"
5150Wo n''t you sit down?"
5150Would you deliberately stop and stick your foot out, in order to trip up the man who was coming in second?"
5150Would you mind if we made an attempt to apply it?"
5150You are sure that the only thing missing is the photographs?"
5150You can have him held until they have time to report?"
5150You can say that-- you, the tool of that-- that monster?"
5150You have n''t forgotten the studio dance I''m giving on the twelfth?
5150You know the first rule of equity?
5150You recall Carton discovered that in some way these people found out that we were using it?
5150You remember how artificial she looked?"
5150You remember the detectaphone instruments which we have used?"
5150You say you have discovered a clue?
5150You think perhaps there might be some professional jealousy?
5150You''ll get us both, will you?
55189After that, while you were abroad together, were you always in terror like this?
55189An''if I do n''t tell nothin''you ai n''t disposed on, Marse Neil, honey?
55189And Alden does not guess that this is he?
55189And did you believe her guilty?
55189And he died?
55189And if this friend should fail you?
55189And the driver brought you all this way and did not enlighten you?
55189And these letters?
55189And when these laws conflict, I presume you would wish to obey the latter? 55189 Are you able to trust Miss Claxton''s goodness against all evidence to the contrary, or are you not?
55189Are you aware,began Alden,"that the other negro apprehended for this murder is being protected by his late owner upon the same grounds?
55189Are you not willing to give her the benefit of the presumption?
55189Are you sure he got the letter?
55189Are you sure of that, sir?
55189But how can you be sure this sick man will not do the thing you dread?
55189But how was she so certain that he was innocent?
55189But how,asked Alden,"did Beardsley come to the house without observation?
55189But if my fears are the result of my own imagination, why should any place be better?
55189But the father?
55189But truth-- justice? 55189 But you will have some theory about them?"
55189Can I do you no service?
55189Can he be Beardsley, masquerading as a Southerner?
55189Can you be sure that he made no attempt to enter the house that evening?
55189Can you manage to go alone? 55189 Could you not send Mr. Alden down to the Cove on some pretence?
55189Could you swear to it in a court of justice?
55189Could''Dolphus give Alden any information of moment?
55189Courthope?
55189DEAR MR. CHARLTON BEARDSLEY: I am sorry indeed to hear that your health has been too greatly strained by spiritual exercises and( may I not say?) 55189 Did they suppose Beardsley to be jealous?"
55189Did you have my message sent from Hilyard?
55189Did you meet the constables?
55189Did you only say it to make me feel angry?
55189Did you reckon him wandering?
55189Do I?
55189Do n''t you see which is the genuine one?
55189Do you agree with me that my wife''s are genuine?
55189Do you know of anyone who has these initials?
55189Do you know who it was that killed your parents?
55189Do you mean the man called Charlton Beardsley?
55189Do you mean to say you would rather not hear what the man said? 55189 Do you recognize it?"
55189Do you suppose, then, that my wife is the author of these Beardsley forgeries?
55189Do you think Adam did it, Mr. Durgan? 55189 Do you think I have been so terribly wicked to keep this secret?"
55189Do you think he could possibly have gone out and done it in his trance, and never known his own guilt?
55189Do you think my wife, or any other woman, would voluntarily live in daily terror of being killed by such a madman as you describe?
55189Do you think so?
55189Do you think there is no risk?
55189Do you wish to hurt this good lady by making her real name known here, where she wishes it to be concealed?
55189Does that matter?
55189Drivah, what is this light?
55189Evidence?
55189For me?
55189For protection?
55189Go on with what, suh?
55189Guessed what?
55189Had you ever anything to do with people who believe that the dead can return to speak to us, or appear to us?
55189Has that cursed nigger not told me the truth?
55189Have they friends?
55189Have you allowed anyone else to know of this suspicion of yours? 55189 Have you any evidence concerning his former character?"
55189Have you any reason to suppose he did?
55189Have you believed this all these years?
55189Have you ever had the least reason to suppose that another person capable of these crimes lurked upon Deer?
55189Have you got a looking- glass?
55189Have you never seen him between then and now?
55189Have you no folks?
55189Have you no money to get yourself comforts?
55189Have you seen letters with no writing on them before?
55189He can help us no further?
55189He could hardly have done that?
55189Hermione,cried Alden again,"why did you conceal this man''s guilt from me at the time, and why do you still wish to conceal it?"
55189Hermione,said Alden,"you can not believe this story?
55189How can I alter it?
55189How can I help it, Mr. Durgan? 55189 How can you say that my sister did such things as this?
55189How can you speak to me like this?
55189How can you taunt me that way? 55189 How can your father be alive?
55189How could I speak to anyone without causing suspicion? 55189 How could you talk of it being good to kill anyone?"
55189How did he find you?
55189How do you know she confessed?
55189How do you know?
55189How long will''Dolphus live?
55189How old are you?
55189How should he? 55189 If Alden sent a detective to the office where it was received, I wonder if he could find out who sent it?"
55189If I swear to you that I never thought anyone else was near us, or on the mountain, will that satisfy you?
55189In Heaven''s name, what motive have you for seeking this man''s freedom? 55189 In spite of whatever he may tell you?"
55189In the name of God, Hermione,he cried solemnly,"why do you shield this man?
55189Is it likely that if anyone took the trouble to give a wrong address, they would leave any clew to their whereabouts?
55189Is it the money young Godson aspires to?
55189Is that true? 55189 Is there no adequate motive that you can suggest?"
55189Is there no hotel that I can sleep in to- night?
55189Is there reason to assume this third person unknown? 55189 Is this some plan of your arranging?"
55189Is this the top of the mountain, drivah? 55189 It is easy to be wise after the event,"said Durgan; and then he asked:"What are you going to do now?"
55189It is for Miss Bertha''s sake you wish to do this?
55189It sometimes does her good to have a right down long ride, does n''t it, Mr. Durgan? 55189 May I ask if you have heard anything to my disadvantage?"
55189May I ask why you made this assumption?
55189May I tell you all I know? 55189 Me, for instance?
55189Might that not be a matter of opinion?
55189Miss Claxton, are you willing to tell me all you know about Charlton Beardsley?
55189Mr. Durgan, are you still quite sure? 55189 My dear Miss Bertha, you can not possibly have anything to do with this sad affair?"
55189No one else-- else than----?
55189Now, in the name of Heaven,he cried,"what do you fear?
55189Of what?
55189Of what?
55189Oh, Adam, I do n''t know any better than your preacher; but I can tell you something that I suppose----"Yes, Marse Neil?
55189On what possible ground can you believe this of your sister?
55189Perhaps,he said,"he asked you to bring a message to Mr. Alden or Miss Smith?"
55189Say we make it fifty?
55189Serve her? 55189 She has cried till the pain in her head is anguish-- and who can possibly be coming?"
55189She is fanciful, then?
55189Sir, what is there to trouble him? 55189 So,"continued Durgan,"to come to the point; what do you suppose this intercepted message means?"
55189Suppose, merely for the sake of argument, that I had reason to suspect he did, can you deny it?
55189Tell me first, Mr. Durgan, what you made out, and what you think this telegram has to do with it?
55189Tell me, then-- on what grounds have you formed this belief?
55189Tell me-- do you know? 55189 That you''d like to see justice done-- all round, sir?"
55189The boy came from Beardsley?
55189The doctor ca n''t make a guess, then, as to how long Claxton may live? 55189 The negro is really dying, I suppose?"
55189Then why were you afraid of my blanket?
55189Then you_ could_ not see him?
55189There were two, then?
55189This mulatto calling himself''Dolphus is certainly the boy?
55189Was he a wicked man?
55189Was it the Blounts who told you about him?
55189Was that all?
55189Well?
55189What are you doing here?
55189What are you doing here?
55189What are you saying?
55189What could they mean?
55189What did they know about the boy?
55189What did you do?
55189What do you mean by endorsing such foolish words?
55189What do you mean?
55189What do you think he meant by''knowing a better game''?
55189What do you think of these letters?
55189What has Alden been doing?
55189What is it?
55189What is your name?
55189What motive have you for protecting him? 55189 What of these other letters you still have in your hand?"
55189What part of it?
55189What reason have you to assume that what he said is true?
55189What sort of venom did you fear?
55189What things?
55189What was the address?
55189What were you saying?
55189What''s that?
55189What''s the meaning of this?
55189What''s the name of this mountain?
55189Where has he been?
55189Who are you, sir? 55189 Who was the boy?"
55189Who?
55189Whom did your father belong to?
55189Why choose me to interfere?
55189Why did you say it?
55189Why do n''t you get up?
55189Why do you include me? 55189 Why do you want to see him?"
55189Why should a pore nigger know anythin''''bout such lettahs? 55189 Why to me?"
55189Why-- if Miss Claxton does not wish it? 55189 Why_ this_ evening?"
55189Will you do what I am going to ask?
55189Will you pardon a word of warning?
55189Yes, but_ who_ is the victim?
55189Yes-- but then, how was it_ he_ knew_ me_?
55189Yes; I have seen them passing-- men with blue eyes and rather spiritual faces-- father gray, son light brown?
55189You are quite sure it was the yellow boy who did it? 55189 You could not have expected him to speak on this subject; and you never had any connection with our trouble?
55189You did not tell Alden this?
55189You do n''t know? 55189 You feel convinced that this knowledge was only shared by these two?"
55189You had his answer?
55189You heard this a year ago and no suspicion of Beardsley entered your mind?
55189You saw Adam-- had they''Dolphus, too?
55189You would say, then, that they are not fanciful or-- eccentric in any way?
55189After a moment''s pause it occurred to him to ask simply--"What is your sister frightened of-- I mean at different times?
55189After another pause, he said:"You were so good as to ask me the other day for advice; will you take an old man''s advice now and go home to bed?
55189After listening to a long chronicle of his humbler neighbors, Durgan held out his pipe for a moment, and said casually--"And the Northern ladies?"
55189Alden paused suddenly, and demanded of the sisters:"You remember hearing of the incident?"
55189Alden?"
55189Am I to believe that, in spite of all this, he was your lover?"
55189And could it be that neither sister had confessed to Alden that the criminal had some sinister hold over them?
55189And if he were, do you understand that he must have killed the other man?"
55189And what else could I desire but justice?"
55189And you-- have you been obeying him?"
55189Are the servants out?
55189Are you afraid of me?"
55189Are you afraid to leave it to Him?
55189Are you anchoriting?"
55189Are you aware that, before her father''s death, Hermione Claxton had consented to marry me?
55189Are you not excited?
55189Bertha had more than once referred to her; and what was it the raving mulatto had said?
55189But even if you did, what would happen?
55189But how can we tell that there is any mind governing the universe?"
55189But then, was not such influence in such a man too strange to be possible, too like a cheap novel to be true?
55189But why should not these two forms of fiction be blended?
55189But, in that case, why was she more at ease when riding than at home, and why did she betray fear of some danger close at hand?
55189Ca n''t you sleep?"
55189Can you conceive that a son-- a man who knew the world, could slur over such vice, such perfidy, in a parent?"
55189Can you only recognize the thrill of events when they are printed in a vulgar journal?"
55189Can you think I have not sought to believe otherwise?"
55189Chapter XXI OPENING THE PAST"Are you sure of what you tell me?"
55189Chapter XXVI A TORTURED CONSCIENCE"Did you see the prisoners?"
55189D''you think so, suh?"
55189Dear Mr. Durgan, could n''t you do this for Hermie''s sake?
55189Did I not see her even quarrel with our dear father about this man because he had pretended to give messages from mother?"
55189Did he remember exactly the place in which he waited?
55189Did you believe this at the time of the trial?"
55189Did your sister tell you in plain words that she committed this deed?"
55189Do I not know?
55189Do n''t you see I am trusting you with the secret of my interference?
55189Do you know all that was put in the newspapers about us-- about the trial?"
55189Do you know why this boy threatens me, reproaches me, challenges me?"
55189Do you not know that I have loved you-- you only?
55189Do you not understand at all?
55189Do you suppose that the money and advice he expects to receive are all in the air, or how?"
55189Do you think I do not know the heart, the life, of my sister?
55189Do you think it wicked?"
55189Do you think poor Adam is not made of the same flesh as you are?
55189Do you understand?"
55189Do you understand?"
55189Durgan spoke roughly, but in himself he said:"Alas, who was responsible for this creature, sly and soulless?
55189Durgan?"
55189Durgan?"
55189Durgan?"
55189Durgan?"
55189Every face we met would have been full of suspicion, and-- surely it is right to shun morbid conditions?"
55189Far off there was hint of a sound, the hoofs of several horses, perhaps-- a ring, faint and far, of a bridle chain?
55189Had Bertha met with some accident, and was this her escort home?
55189Had he any reason for endeavoring to mislead you?"
55189Has your friend turned in for the night?"
55189Have you any idea of what I am going to tell you?"
55189He is manly and handsome----""But?"
55189He longed to ask,"Why do you assume that this''Dolphus will not expose the criminal you have suffered so much to hide?"
55189He looked the boy up and down, and then he said,''Do you want to earn a hundred dollars?''
55189He was called a mesmerist, too-- do you believe that one man''s will could possess another person, and make that person do-- well, any wicked thing?"
55189He was only a messenger-- a servant of that man who was raising spirits in dark rooms and making them give messages and----""You mean Beardsley?"
55189Herbert, is it not clear now why I should have kept my secret from you, if your conscience is such that you can concede no mercy to a criminal?
55189Hermione?"
55189How can this pore child know your mind, suh?"
55189How can you believe a man who is a murderer?"
55189How could I speak to her when I thought her only chance of continued health lay in forgetting?
55189How could I?
55189How could you?
55189How did he convince you that he could throw no light on the whereabouts of the missing boy?
55189How long had he rested?
55189How much less could Alden forgive?
55189How should it?
55189How''s this for a good Durgan nigger?"
55189How?"
55189I ask you, sir, what does this man mean by turning me out at a mica mine?
55189I have come to-- have you not heard?"
55189I now ask you, would you have advised me to send this telegram without further information?
55189I suppose-- I suppose, Mr. Durgan, that''Dolphus did kill poor Eve?
55189I think that was all that I took to be a direct reference to you, Miss Claxton; but what I thought most needful to tell Alden----""Yes?"
55189If her spirit had now passed to plead at the bar of some great judgment- hall, on whose head must the doom of her transgressions fall?
55189If they were written in Beardsley''s interest, why did he not write them himself?
55189If you are not safe from unruly fears, why roam where you invite them?
55189If you have only seen one thing, how can you appreciate the difference between that and another?
55189In a moment she exclaimed, in a voice of tears,"What does God care?
55189Indeed, Mr. Durgan, who can have thought on this problem as I have done?
55189Is Bertha there?''
55189Is it my fault that a spiritually minded man has given me the sympathy which you can not even understand?
55189Is it possible that I could be mistaken in her character?"
55189Is it some murderous spectre of whom you stand in dread?"
55189Is n''t that gospel truth, Marse Neil, suh?"
55189Is not that about what you feel, too?"
55189Is she like him?"
55189Is this Bear Mountain?
55189Is this the house?"
55189Is you so ignorant, chil'', as not to know that it''s a heap an''a lot wus to read these letters than the sort as has writin''all ovah?"
55189Is you sure o''that, honey?
55189It came to you freshly the other night; after thinking it over, are you still quite sure?"
55189It can not be possible that, at that same time, you contracted a friendship-- shall I say an affection?--for this man?
55189It would seem better, of course, if we could all three die to- night; but in that case, why have we lived to meet again?
55189Marse Neil, suh; d''you think my pore gal''s in de bad place?
55189May I ask if you came to guess it solely from those letters which this unhappy pair opened; or did any other circumstance----?"
55189May I ask you, Mr. Durgan, if you have had any corroboration of the idea that this note came from Beardsley, either from him or from your wife?"
55189May I tell you what he said to me, Miss Claxton?"
55189My father said,''Can you hold your tongue and help me, and I''ll make a gentleman of you?
55189No; there must be some way out, because Hermie has prayed so much-- prayer must make some difference, do n''t you think?"
55189Oh, Adam, it''s a powerful hangin''crime; an''if you''s cotched in this business, what''ll come to me?"
55189Oh, how could you call yourself a gentleman and betray me so?"
55189On what pretext should Bertha seek to deceive so good a friend as Alden?
55189Shall I wake Adam to help you home?"
55189Shall we read on?"
55189She gave an inarticulate sound of terrified joy, a moan of heart- rending joy-- or was it terror?
55189She had done all this for the sake of-- what?
55189She had evidently kept this paltry note among her own papers until recently-- why?
55189She whispered eagerly:"Will it do if I swear now that I believe I was mistaken-- that I knew nothing, or, at least, no proof to the contrary?"
55189She_ knew_, and if she knew that anyone else had committed the deed, why not tell and exonerate the boy?"
55189So you wo n''t go for to tell him it is n''t hangin'', will you, marsa, honey, suh?"
55189Surely you must know if he is a wicked man?"
55189Tell me, have you talked it over with a single soul?"
55189The address of Mrs. Durgan is----?"
55189The answer to Durgan''s question,"Why I?"
55189The one was true to the core, the other false; but how to prove it?
55189The spirits, I understood, sometimes spoke through Mrs. Durgan and sent messages to him----""She said they did?"
55189Then my father came to the door and whispered through,''Hermione, are you alone?
55189Then why were you afraid?"
55189Then-- ah, what was that sound?
55189They were coming from Hilyard; were they coming further than the village?
55189This is her writing, is it not?"
55189Was he bad or good?"
55189Was it possible that Beardsley had some mysterious power over both women such as a magician or modern hypnotist is said to use?
55189Was it to incriminate Charlton Beardsley or to exculpate him?
55189Was this motive strong enough to be worked upon?
55189Were the horsemen coming for some purpose quite unknown to him, bearing on the mystery of the summit house?
55189What bribe, what threat could move a condemned man who was but a waif in the world, and need care for none but himself?
55189What chance had she to have in her nerve or fibre that could vibrate to any sense of good?
55189What could have brought him here?
55189What could make her certain but one thing?
55189What could seem more mad than all this?
55189What did he say was in the note?"
55189What do you mean by saying''yes''?"
55189What do you mean?
55189What does he mean?"
55189What else could?
55189What exactly was it that happened to our letters to- night?"
55189What is the matter?
55189What more did he say?"
55189What possible motive could they have had for concealment?
55189What secret of yours can they contain?"
55189What''s that?"
55189When he was riding down the mountain road again he called out, on passing the mine:"Oh, Neil Durgan-- say-- why did you leave those quarters?
55189When you believed it, too, what word could I have said to you that would not have made it your duty to hunt him down?
55189Where did he go then?
55189Where had he gone when he left the sisters?
55189Which''ull it be, sir?"
55189Who can tell the sweetness that the flame of distant pine- woods lends?
55189Who else could be there?
55189Who gave that heart of hope but the God of whom you speak?
55189Who has made you believe it?"
55189Who sent him, and who concealed him?
55189Who taught the little soul the courage to trust and pray?
55189Who was this boy who could so vanish?
55189Who-- who is it?"
55189Whom do you suppose to be guilty?"
55189Why did he wait?
55189Why did you deceive me?"
55189Why do you not cry?"
55189Why do you still wish to shield him?
55189Why had these particular letters been kept?
55189Why hide these letters?
55189Why is this man kept under your wife''s roof?"
55189Why not continue to conceal the fact that he had been half a furlong beyond all natural earshot of the woman''s death?
55189Why should not the art of George Eliot or Mr. Meredith be wedded to the thrilling action and absorbing mystery of Anthony Hope and Sir A. Conan Doyle?
55189Why should you ask?"
55189Would you sacrifice us to a fetish you call''justice,''pretending it is God?
55189You are sure that he did not come or go from the house in that time?"
55189You urge me to tell you-- will you accept my confession in confidence?
55189You''s not in earnest, suh?"
55189can you not imagine my father''s wild grief and anger against the fellow that, as he would think, had caused him to do it?
55189cried Bertha, the energy of a long distress in her tone,"for my sake, can you not help us to understand?
55189cried Durgan;"where are you going?"
55189what could it be-- like a gasp or sigh, far away or near?
55189who can know that better than I?"
46008A secret entrance, you mean?
46008Ah, a film star?
46008Ai n''t it queer, the way they''re half in and half out of the front wall? 46008 And did he kill Mr. Bruce and Vernie?"
46008And do you think they could be responsible for the death of Mr. Bruce and Miss Reid?
46008And have you made such investigations?
46008And is n''t it?
46008And now,Eve said, as they left the room,"do you want to go to the other room-- the Room with the Tassels?"
46008And raiment?
46008And the young lady,said Crawford, at last, rousing himself from thought,"did she too drink tea?"
46008And when you returned it was-- all over?
46008And who are his heirs?
46008And you propose to find out who and how?
46008And you will discover how, you will solve the mysteries?
46008And your discovery of the means used is bound to come?
46008And-- Vernie?
46008Any remarks?
46008Are n''t you going to school any more at all?
46008Are n''t you sure of it?
46008Are you a pessimist, little one?
46008Are you assuming that some one entered and killed the victims, as we all sat round drinking tea?
46008Are you sure they are one and the same?
46008Bless my soul, do you think so? 46008 But I ca n''t understand,"and Eve looked puzzled;"why would Mr. Tracy kill those people, and how did he do it?
46008But do you think an examination of her body, after all this time, could prove that?
46008But granting that,said Norma,"and I''m willing to grant it, why did the spirits want to kill Vernie?
46008But he did say so, did n''t he, Rudolph?
46008But her standing in the household?
46008But how can you know?
46008But how could such a man get in?
46008But how did she get out of the house, and leave all the doors locked behind her?
46008But how did she get out?
46008But what has any one to suggest as Mr. Tracy''s motive for the crimes he committed?
46008But what other atrocity had you in mind?
46008But why choose those two? 46008 But why not, Norma?
46008But will you, as soon as we get back to New York? 46008 But you know?"
46008But you''ll have to take charge, wo n''t you?
46008But, Miss Carnforth, ca n''t you ask some other friends to come, if the Landons prefer to return to New York? 46008 But, if so, how could he kill Mr. Bruce and Vernie?
46008But, really, Zizi?
46008By what means, does he think?
46008Ca n''t we go home, Wynne?
46008Dead, ai n''t they?
46008Did he ever see anything before?
46008Did he receive any bequest from Mr. Bruce''s will?
46008Did n''t you see the hand?
46008Did she trouble you?
46008Did you scream?
46008Did you tell him all?
46008Do n''t you expect anything, Prof?
46008Do n''t you know who it was?
46008Do they wear pale blue?
46008Do what?
46008Do what?
46008Do you enjoy them?
46008Do you know anything about the mystery?
46008Do you mean that some such person acted the ghost,--and-- all that?
46008Do you think there are really such things as ghosts?
46008Do you?
46008Eh, Zizi?
46008Er-- did you take it?
46008Ever see her again?
46008For me?
46008For that matter, how could anybody murder two people at once? 46008 Get messages how?"
46008Go on in, who''s henderin''you?
46008Go on,said Penny Wise;"what happened as Mr. Bruce took his first sip of tea?"
46008Going back to Jennings''theory,mused Braye,"could we suspect old Thorpe?"
46008Great heavy tassels on the curtains and lambaquins, ma''am,--want to see it?
46008Had he tasted his tea?
46008Has she been there all the time?
46008Have you any definite suspect?
46008He made up that yarn, then, as an excuse to get away?
46008Heard her?
46008Hello, Cousin Rudolph, what are_ you_ doing here? 46008 Here you, Hester, I''ll relieve you of that lamp you''re holding, and you hop it, and get more,--six more,--twelve more-- hear me?"
46008Hester, which is the pleasantest room in the house? 46008 How could a spook kill two folks at onct,--right out in the open, as you may say?"
46008How could any mortal human bein''bring that about? 46008 How did Vernie''s body get out?"
46008How did it get into Mr. Bruce''s stomach?
46008How did you get in?
46008How did you get into the house at night, when it was so securely locked?
46008How do you know he was?
46008How do you know?
46008How would you set out to find a house?
46008How''d he get in?
46008How''d you know?
46008How, then?
46008How, then?
46008How?
46008I ca n''t understand, Wynne,said Milly,"who took Zizi away?"
46008I did n''t know you were such an old top, did you, Cousin Rudolph?
46008I do n''t know, dear; what do you think, Professor?
46008I dunno; which would you?
46008I need n''t, need I, Wynne?
46008I''d rather think they were killed by that ghost than by a person,--wouldn''t you?
46008I''m at my best in white linen in the summer time, but what about laundry? 46008 I, too, have read a lot of books----""Scientific or psychic?"
46008Is she dead?
46008Is that the usage in the best mediumistic circles?
46008Is there-- is there a bed in that room?
46008Is what?
46008It is not an eleventh case, then?
46008Look here, Uncle Gif,said Braye, good- naturedly,"you do n''t want to get yourself disliked, do you?
46008May n''t I, Wynne?
46008Meaning Stebbins or the Thorpes?
46008Mr. Bruce and Vernie? 46008 Mr. Bruce lived in Chicago, did he not?"
46008Mr. Bruce was a wealthy man?
46008Mrs. Landon, you wo n''t let your husband leave your room, will you?
46008My dear man, how could I, with my mouth chock- a- block with a large and elegant bundle of gag? 46008 No,"mused Braye,"and yet, what could it have been?
46008No; and if he had, how could he have got out? 46008 Nobody at odds with Mr. Bruce, was n''t there?"
46008Not even me?
46008Not free? 46008 Nothing doing, Zizi?"
46008Now, what other door had its lock oiled?
46008Of course,said Landon,"but suppose they pitch on an innocent man?"
46008Oh, Eve, what do you really think?
46008Oh, Wynne, why did we ever come?
46008Oh, did you do it?
46008Oh, do_ you_ do that, too?
46008Oh, what did kill those people?
46008Oh, yes, you''ve just had commencement, have n''t you?
46008Oh, your friends are sure to be our friends, Rudolph,said Landon,"but telephone him to run up here, ca n''t you?
46008Oh,cried Eve,"_ what_ has happened?"
46008Poison?
46008Rainin''?
46008Really?
46008Rubbish, Bruce? 46008 Rudolph, tell me one thing,--please be frank; do you think any one we know-- is,--is responsible for those deaths?"
46008See a ghost?
46008See?
46008Shall we help him, Rudolph, or hold back and let him work alone?
46008Shall we leave the door between open?
46008She had taken no tea?
46008She herself,returned Wise,"did n''t you, Zizi?"
46008So do I, dear, then we can go home, ca n''t we?
46008Sounds good to me; what do you think, Rudolph?
46008Stalking ghost, hollow groans, and-- were there clanking chains?
46008Such a drug is not available to the general public, is it?
46008Sure, Zizi?
46008That I do not know yet,--do you, Zizi?
46008That? 46008 The doctors through yet?"
46008The smell-- the odour-- in that room?
46008Then did he arrange for the Thorpes or one of the waiting- maids to do it?
46008Then how did the criminal find it out?
46008Then who tampered with it? 46008 Then why do you think the world is evil?"
46008Then why do you warn us off the premises?
46008Then you think the phantoms that appeared to some of us were really human beings?
46008Then you think the two people were murdered?
46008Then,pursued Eve,"could Vernie have killed herself and her uncle?"
46008There must have been, but how_ could_ there be?
46008This is the room-- isn''t it?
46008Too?
46008Tracy? 46008 Was Mr. Braye present at the time of the-- tragedy?"
46008Was it a man or a woman?
46008Was it the skull face?
46008Was n''t that Vernie''s voice?
46008Well, do you believe in ghosts?
46008Well, what now?
46008Well, what''s the matter with Milly? 46008 Well, who did?"
46008Were you near either?
46008What about Stebbins? 46008 What about it, Ziz?"
46008What about it?
46008What about servants?
46008What are you implying? 46008 What are you saying?"
46008What are_ you_ doing with it?
46008What can I do?
46008What can he mean?
46008What child? 46008 What did that prove to you?"
46008What did you think you saw or heard?
46008What do you mean by expect, child? 46008 What do you mean by ghastly?"
46008What do you mean by ghosts? 46008 What do you mean by profound?"
46008What do you mean by sure?
46008What do you mean by that?
46008What do you mean by that?
46008What do you mean by visible soul? 46008 What do you mean, Milly?
46008What do you mean, the eleventh case?
46008What do you mean?
46008What do you think, Norma?
46008What else has been revealed to you, Eve?
46008What else_ is_ possible?
46008What happened to''em?
46008What have you heard?
46008What is it,he asked,"did you call?
46008What is it?
46008What is it?
46008What kind of a cloak?
46008What means were employed, anyway?
46008What more does the man want in confirmation of the supernatural? 46008 What other manifestations have you experienced?"
46008What rooms you want?
46008What shall I do with Milly?
46008What shall you do now?
46008What sort of poison? 46008 What were you talking about when we came in?"
46008What would you choose as an experience?
46008What''s his name?
46008What''s the matter with Braye being the murderer? 46008 What''s the matter?"
46008What''s wrong between you and Doctor Crawford?
46008What, Vernie? 46008 What, for instance?"
46008What, then?
46008What?
46008What?
46008When can we go, Wynne?
46008Where could he get it?
46008Where is she now?
46008Where shall we congregate?
46008Where''s everybody, Wynnsie?
46008Where''s that child?
46008Where''s that girl?
46008Where''s that woman with the lamps? 46008 Where?"
46008Which of us would you rather have do so?
46008Who could have done it-- and why?
46008Who could that have been?
46008Who did, then? 46008 Who done it, and how?
46008Who done it, then?
46008Who else wants to stay?
46008Who gave it to him?
46008Who is that?
46008Who put you up to that idea, Miss Carnforth?
46008Who was he?
46008Who was pushing that board?
46008Who, indeed?
46008Whom do you suspect, Norma? 46008 Why do I?"
46008Why do you care? 46008 Why do you look at me like that, Norma?"
46008Why do you think that?
46008Why is it called that?
46008Why lug in Norma?
46008Why make the party any larger?
46008Why should any one want the truth to remain undiscovered?
46008Why should any one want to?
46008Why would he take it?
46008Why, Cousin Rudolph, what are you afraid of? 46008 Why, all this ghost gabble----""How do you know it''s rubbish?
46008Why, they''re all natives of this section,exclaimed the Professor,"how could they be implicated?"
46008Why? 46008 Why?
46008Why?
46008Why?
46008Why?
46008Why?
46008Wo n''t I do?
46008Yes, I did, but after they took things into their own hands, and played spooks themselves, what was the use?
46008Yes, and who gave you those reasons? 46008 Yes, and why?"
46008You are afraid he''ll suspect Wynne,--aren''t you?
46008You are the hostess?
46008You do n''t really think any of us would stoop to such a despicable thing, do you?
46008You do n''t suspect Mr. Braye, do you?
46008You do n''t, do n''t you? 46008 You do that, Professor,--won''t you?"
46008You expect him soon?
46008You folks here?
46008You intended to keep it up?
46008You know the doors and windows were all locked?
46008You like this place?
46008You really believe that, Professor?
46008You saw and heard nothing?
46008You sure of that?
46008You''ll soon_ have_ to know,said Zizi, quietly;"indeed you know now, do n''t you, Miss Carnforth?"
46008You''ve talked with all of them, have n''t you?
46008Zizi? 46008 ''Fraid I''ll be carried off by the Shawled Woman?
46008''Hester?''
46008''Ve you, Zizi?"
46008Against his will her eyes held his; against his will, without his volition, he whispered,"What is my duty?"
46008Ai n''t you smelled prussic acid around?"
46008Air ye all satisfied with your bargain?"
46008Also, who''s doing the hiring?"
46008And if so, why could n''t they kill people, if they want to?"
46008And now, if you please, Mrs. Landon, may I be shown to my room?"
46008And, you''ve no electrics here, have you?"
46008Any light whatever to throw on the situation?"
46008Any reason to suspect any one?
46008Are they talking deceptively, or are they themselves deceived?"
46008Are you a mollycoddle?"
46008Are you ill?"
46008Are you not afraid?"
46008Are you not romancing a little?"
46008Because I had the first party?"
46008Braye?"
46008Bruce?"
46008But all were game, and when at last Stebbins said,"Seen enough?"
46008But how?
46008But if we could help him----""How?"
46008But some fiend in human shape must have managed to get into the house----""And get out again?"
46008But then, ought n''t we to have another man?"
46008But what can I do, if the Professor has made up his mind?
46008But you''ve found none?"
46008But, tell me, as man to man, how do you size up this awful mystery?"
46008CHAPTER X Was It Supernatural?
46008CHAPTER XIV Zizi"Where is she?"
46008CHAPTER XV Tracy''s Story"Now I would n''t say,"Wise observed,"that there is no such thing as occult phenomena----""What do you mean by phenomena?"
46008Ca n''t you explain to her----""Explain what?"
46008Can you beat it?
46008Come on, Braye?"
46008Could Mr. Bruce have willingly killed himself and Vernie?"
46008Could Wynne have been prompted by-- by bravado?"
46008Could he have been concealed in the house all night?"
46008Could it have been Miss Carnforth, now?"
46008Could they, Zizi?"
46008Did n''t_ anybody_ see or hear_ anything_?"
46008Did you notice it, sir?"
46008Disembodied?"
46008Do n''t let''em, will you, Wynne?"
46008Do n''t you say so, Eve?"
46008Do we go in motors?"
46008Do we go in the train, or motors or what?"
46008Do you all agree?"
46008Do you know the village doctor''s name?
46008Do you mean intentional rubbish?
46008Do you mean there was no physical cause?
46008Do you mean wish or think?"
46008Do you need further knowledge of him to believe that he is the criminal in this case, rather than one of your own immediate circle?"
46008Do you not all remember the night when Professor Hardwick saw the apparition of the Shawled Woman?
46008Do you remember the first queer, inexplicable thing that happened up here?"
46008Do you, then, believe that so- called supernatural appearances are caused by psychical influences or are hallucinations of the senses?
46008Does n''t it, now?"
46008Eccentric, of course, what worthwhile detective is not?
46008Eve was running the tea things, Vernie was jumping about here and there, and Norma,--where were you, Norma?"
46008Finished your tea?
46008Granting Tracy''s guilt, what do you ascribe as a motive?"
46008Guilty?
46008Has Eve put you up to all this?"
46008Has anybody present any idea of the identity of this man?
46008Have you no suspicion, Professor?"
46008Have you personally disproved it?
46008He ca n''t convict a murderer if there is n''t one,--and if there is one, we all want him convicted, do n''t we?"
46008He dropped his cup and----""One moment,"said Wise;"what became of that broken cup?"
46008He had n''t any hand in any of the queer doings, had he, Rudolph?
46008How about you, Professor?"
46008How about you, Tracy?"
46008How can one help being after this?
46008How can you know it?
46008How could I?"
46008How could it be gone?"
46008How could it have two glasses, when it was shaking its hand at you?"
46008How did you get in?"
46008How do you account for that?"
46008How do you account for two deaths occurring at the very moment they were foretold?"
46008How do you define a ghost?"
46008How find a criminal who gave no signs of existence, and who was, by those most closely concerned, denied actual existence?
46008How many have you, all told?"
46008How much do you think it ought to cost to provision nine people and two or three natives for a month?"
46008How would a dignified firm like ours look advertising for a house warranted haunted?"
46008How''s that?
46008I ask you?"
46008I ca n''t believe in this talk, for how could it have been brought about?
46008I could see it----""How could you, with no light?"
46008I was looking at Bruce, of course, when I heard an exclamation----""From whom?"
46008I_ know_ it was, but how can I prove it?
46008If he could be convinced, as we are, of the existence of phantoms, and of their visitations, he''d be a splendid help, would n''t he?
46008If it was taken away through the revolving column, what else could have been done with it?
46008If the ha''nt began moving her candlestick around the first night, what may she not do next?
46008If you believe in the return to earth of good spirits, why not bad spirits, as well?
46008If you ever do it, Professor, may n''t I go with you?"
46008In some awfully clever way, that ca n''t be traced to him, d''y''see?
46008Indeed, what else could it have been?
46008Is n''t it stunning?
46008Is n''t she awful, anyway?"
46008Is such belief held, may I ask?"
46008Is there a housekeeper person?
46008Is there a sliding opening in the solid bronze?"
46008Is there any cause or agent that will work as quickly as that?"
46008Is your power sufficient to discover and deal death to this beast you describe?"
46008It is Mr. Tracy''s door, is n''t it, Zizi?"
46008It is incredible that it should have been a case of sudden fright that proved fatal, and yet, what other theory is there?
46008It was n''t buried nowhere around, and if she''d''a''threw it in the lake, s''posin''she''d got out a winder, how''d she got in again?
46008It''s such a hard habit to break, ai n''t it?
46008Landon?"
46008Landon?"
46008Landon?"
46008Marvellous work on these doors, eh?
46008May I go, Uncle Gifford?
46008May n''t I, Eve?
46008May she not have been hysterically nervous, and imagined the whole thing?
46008Milly exclaimed,"and what do you think?
46008Mr. Bruce had taken part of his tea, and had eaten part of his cake,----""Are you sure of this?"
46008Mr. Tracy, your profession wo n''t interfere with your having a jolly time, will it?
46008Murdered?"
46008Need I say more?"
46008Now do you want to see the room with the tassels?"
46008Now shall we decide to take this Montgomery place?"
46008Now, Penny, could it have been anybody who was n''t at the breakfast table?"
46008Now, are you going to talk, in here at Peterson''s, or sit like a bump on a log,--smiling at grief?"
46008Now, can we?
46008Now, do you think it is your duty to remain silent, because of that old oath of secrecy?"
46008Now, girls, want to select your rooms?"
46008Now, what have you to say?"
46008Now, who did do it?"
46008Now, who was running that Ouija board the night it said the two people would die at four o''clock?"
46008Now, you_ were_ a tricksy Puck, were n''t you, when you moved the old battered candlestick that first night?
46008Oh, Rudolph, must we let that detective go on,--no matter what he-- exposes?"
46008Oh, Rudolph, who do you suppose tried to drown that poor little Zizi?"
46008Oh, what_ does_ it mean?"
46008Oh, where can she be?"
46008Or Vernie, anyway?
46008Penny Wise, in bathrobe and slippers, appeared, saying,"What''s up?
46008Professor Hardwick joined them as Wise was saying,"What first turned your attention to the Room with the Tassels, Ziz?
46008Professor Hardwick, what do you think about it all?"
46008Professor, are you answered?"
46008Say it''s murder,--where''s a motive, for anybody?"
46008Say we try it?"
46008Say, Eve, wo n''t you take Milly down to- night?
46008Shall us?"
46008Shall we not have to ascribe it to some form of degeneracy, whether that seems plausible or not?"
46008Shall we send to Stebbins for that before we take the place, or go on a wild goose chase entirely?"
46008Shall you send Mr. Bruce''s body to Chicago, and stay here yourself, Rudolph?"
46008She came nearer and-- and I saw her face-- and----""Well?"
46008She''s subjugated you, has she?
46008Since introductions are in order, may I inquire further concerning the young lady,--or child,--who accompanied you?"
46008So there is no chance of there having been poison in the tea or cakes,--nor could it be possible, anyway, as we all ate them,--didn''t we?"
46008So why not just put down some round numbers, divide''em by nine and let it go at that?"
46008So, why get us all up there, only to come home again?"
46008Spooks?
46008Stebbins?"
46008Stebbins?"
46008Stebbins?"
46008Stunning hall, eh, Zizi?"
46008Tell me again, Professor, just how those people were sitting?
46008Tell me again, just where were you all?"
46008That Mr.--that the owner tricked us?"
46008That''s so, Braye?"
46008Then suddenly her black eyes twinkled, and she turned sharply toward Eve, saying,"Oh, do_ you_ do that, too?"
46008Then, as a ghost, you appeared to Mr. Bruce, did n''t you?"
46008Then,--shall I tell''em all, Pen?"
46008They ai n''t none of''em implicated, and why let''em know what''s goin''on?"
46008Think so?"
46008This was the house of Dan Peterson, and a ring at his doorbell, brought the sound of a hastily flung- up window, and a sharp"Who''s there?"
46008Thorpe, my man, have you never seen any circumstance or occurrence in this house, that you could n''t explain by natural means?"
46008Those would be a help, would n''t they?"
46008Tracy?"
46008Tracy?"
46008Tracy?"
46008Unless you want to go, Wynne?"
46008Wake me at eight, will you, Norma?"
46008Was It Supernatural?
46008Was some one at the door?
46008Was this gentleman in robust health?"
46008We have yet to prove it, but I have evidence enough----""Where is he?"
46008We saw it through the window,--don''t you remember, Norma?"
46008Well, do n''t that smell prove somethin''?"
46008Well, have you candles?"
46008Well, why_ do n''t_ you investigate?
46008Were n''t you frightened?"
46008Were they together?"
46008What could kill them, like this, at once, and at four o''clock exactly, except a supernormal agent?"
46008What do you mean by rubbish?"
46008What do you mean by that?"
46008What do you mean?"
46008What do you think?"
46008What do_ you_ think killed Mr. Bruce and Vernie?"
46008What else can explain it?"
46008What else could have killed her, like that?"
46008What else?"
46008What had happened?
46008What had killed two strong, well, able- bodied people at the same moment, and that the very moment said to be fatal in that dread house?
46008What have you done with her?"
46008What is it, dear?"
46008What is that?
46008What means could have been employed?"
46008What more can any one ask?"
46008What more is there to learn?"
46008What possible cause could a human being have to wish harm to little Vernie Reid?"
46008What room is this?"
46008What say, Braye?"
46008What''s Crawford going to do next?"
46008What''s the matter with you people?
46008What''s the matter with you?
46008What_ is_ the matter?''
46008When are_ you_ going down, Wynne?"
46008Where did he come from?
46008Where is she?"
46008Where is this place, Landon?"
46008Where was Mr. Tracy sitting?"
46008Where was he?"
46008Where''s Mr. Stebbins, does anybody know?"
46008Where''s a ghost?
46008Where''s the man I engaged to look after things?"
46008Who administered it?"
46008Who can give me the exact facts as noticed?"
46008Who does the locking up, do you know?"
46008Who introduced him to our party?"
46008Who is going to tell me all about it?"
46008Who knew that ghosts must be forthcoming, if you folks was to be satisfied?
46008Who knows a nice, good- natured, all round adaptable dinner man?"
46008Who performed ghost doings himself, in order that you might not be disappointed?"
46008Who saved her life?"
46008Who would give him money?"
46008Who?"
46008Why am I not?
46008Why are you all so surprised?
46008Why did n''t you rescue her?"
46008Why did n''t you yell?"
46008Why did the spirits want to kill them?
46008Why did you move into that room to sleep?"
46008Why not, then, in bad spirits and their power to do evil?"
46008Why not?
46008Why should n''t I?"
46008Why, jest f''r instance, now, how_ could_ it''a''been done?"
46008Will you all agree?"
46008Will you come, Norma?"
46008Will you double up, so I can feel sure there''s nothing of that sort?"
46008Will you go, Milly?"
46008Will you really stay here a while?
46008Will you stay, Norma?
46008Will you, Milly,_ will_ you,--if only for Wynne''s sake-- try to keep that man away?"
46008Will you, Milly?
46008Will you, Norma-- darling?"
46008Wise can prove the contrary, we want him to do so, do n''t we, Rudolph?"
46008Wise does,--tell me, who paid Tracy money?"
46008Wise to come?"
46008Wise, is she dead?"
46008Wise, is she one of us?"
46008Wise, that Zizi''s experience was truthfully related?
46008Wise?
46008Wise?
46008Wise?
46008Wise?"
46008Wise?"
46008Wise?"
46008Wise?"
46008Wo n''t you, dearest?"
46008Would n''t that be a lark?"
46008Yes, I know,--but it wo n''t go down, old chap----""The prussic acid wo n''t?"
46008Yes?
46008You did n''t do it yourself, did you, Vernie?"
46008You did n''t do it, did you, Uncle?"
46008You do n''t suspect one of us, do you?"
46008You have a real soul, have n''t you, although it is immaterial?
46008You hear me?"
46008You think I did well, oh, Wise Guy?"
46008You''re sure about the servants?"
46008You''ve helped me a little----""Do you suspect anybody?
46008You, Professor, would never have been convinced by hearsay evidence, would you?"
46008Zizi disappeared?"
46008_ How_ do you know?"
46008and Eve''s penetrating glance seemed to bore into his very soul,"then, pray, how do you explain the fact that Vernie-- isn''t there?"
46008asked Braye,"I mean the man who killed Mr. Bruce and Vernie, and the one who carried off Miss Zizi?"
46008asked Milly,"does she belong with the servants, or in here with us?"
46008asked the Professor,"what do you mean by temperamental?"
46008asked the Professor;"deep- seated or widely informed?"
46008broke in Eve, whose piercing eyes were fairly glittering with excitement,"what sort of tassels?"
46008cried Eve,"what do you mean?"
46008cried Landon,"what do you mean?
46008exclaimed Braye,"what did he look like?"
46008exclaimed Stebbins, coming in,"you goin''to use_ that_ candlestick?
46008he asked;"what they found out?"
46008he cried to her,"what''s the matter, Vernie?"
46008if spirits did kill them?"
46008said Norma, looking round after the detective had gone off,"what became of her?"
46008said Norma, turning to Braye,"how could Mr. Tracy have done it for money?
46008said Tracy,"and carry the body with him,--when Thorpe sat right here in the hall----""Where was Thorpe?"
46008went on Crawford,"and Miss Reid, also?"
46008what can they learn from a post- mortem?
46008where?"
62168And what did you say that stuff was that saved your life?
62168And what you''re going to do is--?
62168Coming?
62168Did it ever occur to you that intelligent salesmanship can do wonders? 62168 Do you suppose you can make him cough up?"
62168Having fun?
62168How would you like to be put away for robbery? 62168 I guess you know what you''re up against?"
62168Is it? 62168 Kittrell?
62168Me? 62168 Now what do I do?"
62168Now what the hell did you do that for?
62168Rolled you?
62168So?
62168Some place on Earth, was n''t it?
62168Then what do they do with this metal if they do n''t eat it?
62168Was that an order for another drink?
62168Well?
62168What are you talking about?
62168What''s going on?
62168What''s that got to do with your resignation?
62168What''s that?
62168What''s the matter with them, anyhow? 62168 Where''re you going?"
62168Where''s the rest of it?
62168Who the devil are you?
62168Why not?
62168Will he do it?
62168Wo n''t tell me, huh?
62168You see how it is?
62168After all, why not?
62168Anyway, you''re bigger than him-- or do n''t you like rough stuff?"
62168Do they eat it?"
62168He said,"You''re Kittrell, right?"
62168How''s the head?"
62168So what?"
62168Tensing his chest muscles against the bruises, he said,"Give me a cigarette, Kittrell?
62168Then,"What are your plans now, MacCauley?
62168What do you want me to do-- adopt him?"
62168What the devil, who''ll know we were here?"
62168Where do I go?"
62168Who are you?"
62168Why, by all the Plutonian Ice Devils, should I have to pay for your mistake?"
62168You do n''t mind if they watch, do you?"
62168You him?"
62168You know where I was stationed last year?"
62168You''d like that, would n''t you?"
53214''Manifestation''? 53214 ''Seem''?"
53214A boa- constrictor, or one of them bushmasters out of Australia?
53214A lizard?
53214A medium? 53214 A microphone, inside of a glass cage top?"
53214A-- did you say''snake''?
53214A-- you mean a-- kangaroo?
53214Am I out of my mind?
53214And did we have experiences in India?
53214And how was the recording made? 53214 And is there not the word that prophets, as fire descended upon their heads, spoke''with many tongues''?"
53214And now, how will we coagulate''em?
53214And so the Chief thinks this fellow with the ape and the mouses and the kangaroo is a criminal and made them criminals?
53214And what about the film?
53214And what was it?
53214And why did he leave?
53214And why would he have to go down there?
53214Are they genuine priests? 53214 Are we right, interpreter?"
53214Are you all right? 53214 Are you batty?"
53214Are you-- sure?
53214Are you?
53214Are_ you_ going to have fireworks too?
53214But how did it get on the records?
53214But what told you, Grover?
53214But what_ was_ the sound- clue?
53214But why did the man take the white rats?
53214But why did they go to all that trouble, when a man could of swarmed down a rope, and got the rats?
53214But why do you suggest taking Roger, Doctor?
53214But why must you restore the Eye, at so much risk?
53214But-- lookit, Roger-- you did n''t notice, maybe----"That you had marked on a paper a list of words? 53214 But-- where have you put The Eye of Om?"
53214But-- with some desperate person abroad----"Do I look desperate?
53214Ca n''t you raise even a whisper?
53214Can I see you in private?
53214Can I snap her picture? 53214 Can you go further and say why no culture was allowed to be given, although the inoculator evidently thought his serum was genuine?"
53214Can you see any other explanation for the disclosed conditions?
53214Circumstantial evidence? 53214 Claws on glass?
53214Cost you-- how much you want to pay?
53214Cupola?
53214Curdle them? 53214 Dicker?"
53214Did Potts put this record here?
53214Did he faint?
53214Did he get it himself-- where? 53214 Did he stand in front of that Beta- ray?"
53214Did he-- drink anything?
53214Did no other camera operated by some one having entered-- they all ran for three minutes-- did none have the shot recorded?
53214Did you?
53214Do n''t you see?
53214Do you really think I got the right meaning out of the hisses?
53214Do you-- does Grover-- think he was-- was in danger-- hurt?
53214Does n''t the man who has the trained animals use an ape?
53214Gone? 53214 Gone?"
53214Grover Brown, calling Chief of Police-- hello-- that you? 53214 Have you secured permission to enter our land?"
53214Heard of the Eye of Om, did n''t he?... 53214 His?"
53214How about last night? 53214 How about telepathy?
53214How are my diffusion shots coming along?
53214How are you doing?
53214How comes it you''re out here? 53214 How could a valve on a radiator across the room make all that noise?"
53214How did you come here?
53214How do you know?
53214How do you propose to return the jewel?
53214How is Astrovox?
53214How will you trap him?
53214How''d I know?
53214How?
53214How?
53214Huh? 53214 I have thought of going to Tibet-- but how shall I get into that temple, and how give back the gem?
53214I picked up what I thought was the subterfuge----"Substitute?
53214I wonder if your cousin would arrange for one of his men to stay part of the night with me, to take down my data?
53214If mouses is here, you say they_ is_ here?
53214If you took it-- how could you help meaning to?
53214Is Astrovox all right? 53214 Is anybody in the cellar?
53214Is he-- alive?
53214Is it all right at the lab.?
53214Is this a dream?
53214It is n''t here.... Look, then.... What do_ you_ know about any laboratory?... 53214 It''s all right to say a monkey climbed in through the skylight way; but how does that fit the snake- trail up the stairway?"
53214Like what?
53214Me?
53214More?
53214My-- which letter?
53214No abrasions of the bolt, or edge of the trap?
53214Now-- where is any gun?
53214Oh, yeah?
53214Oh, yeah?
53214Oh-- a man with a-- a what?
53214Pedal protuberances, eh, Tip?
53214Potts,Doctor Ryder turned his head, half accusingly,"are you a ventriloquist?"
53214Roger,as the hurrying figure came into the room with the vacant glass experiment- cage,"are you afraid to stay up here?"
53214Say, can we get into that lab?
53214Shall I turn on the current?
53214Shoes?
53214Short- wave?
53214So you''re in it, are you?
53214So, where does that get us?
53214That film was taken from a brand new shipment, was n''t it?
53214That tells me that the entry was made through the skylight, as we had thought,he decided, but added:"Or-- does it tell more?"
53214That you, Rog''?
53214The Tibetans?
53214The one that took pictures of them mouses?
53214The others-- the vocational clues----"Do you mean''vocal''?
53214The record ran out before it was spoken,said Roger, and he added:"Well-- did you find the jewel safe?"
53214The shoes, Grover?
53214The watch- chain? 53214 The what of who?"
53214Then how about this?
53214Then how was the stuff ignited? 53214 Then where did the ape come from?
53214Then, what about visible ones?
53214Then-- whose?
53214There was a fire, was n''t there?
53214They are? 53214 They pretend to be able to communicate with spirits of people, but has it been verified?"
53214Think I''ll sit here and let something attack me?
53214Tip,he hailed,"Did you get anything on the''sound''film in the one- snap- a- minute camera?"
53214Toby Smith, huh? 53214 Two attempts to reach you-- and why?
53214Want me?
53214Was that clever? 53214 Was there an open microphone near you?"
53214Water?
53214Well, how else could it have happened? 53214 Well, then, was the ape?"
53214Well, what could leave a snake trail?
53214Well, what''s the use of holding me for all this?
53214Well, what_ did_ the sound that Roger described as claws on glass really signify that linked up Ryder and not any of us?
53214What ape?
53214What are you doing here?
53214What brings you here at five in the morning?
53214What did it tell you?
53214What do we know about the unseen things? 53214 What do you expect will happen here?"
53214What do you seek?
53214What do you suppose is wrong?
53214What do you think of this?
53214What do you think, Roger?
53214What do you want?
53214What else-- out of Australia?
53214What explains_ my_ denseness?
53214What good are they? 53214 What happened?
53214What happened?
53214What have you got, Tip?
53214What is it?
53214What is it?
53214What motive could_ I_ have for wanting to hurt Roger?
53214What told you?
53214What tricks?
53214What was it?
53214What was it?
53214What you buttin''in our game fer, huh?
53214What you got in your coat-- candy?
53214What''s going on?
53214What''s going to happen here?
53214What''s that, now lyddite?
53214What''s the matter? 53214 What''s your idea, Grover?"
53214What- da- ya mean, nothing more wo n''t burn?
53214Where did he go?
53214Where have you been?
53214Where is it?
53214Where is it?
53214Where were you? 53214 Who are you?
53214Who says I have?
53214Who says the gem was left in India? 53214 Who''s there?
53214Who-- what set off the flouroscope and the X- rays?
53214Whose hands did we overlook?
53214Why in the world did Ryder have to go to all that trouble?
53214Why should I be bothered?
53214Why would n''t he let you bring it?
53214Why would they want to lure me to the lab?
53214Why, Toby?
53214Y-- er----"_ Did he?_"I-- no-- yes, sir.
53214Yes, sir,Roger agreed, not knowing how else to respond, then:"How do you come to know our language, sir?"
53214You come for what?
53214You mean, where someone inserted a''jimmy''to shove back the bolt?
53214You think the smoke overcame them, Doctor?
53214You think-- anybody is hiding?
53214You understand something of science?
53214You''re what?
53214Your own sacred Book tells of the-- is it not the Tower of Babel?
532143. we thought it was to conceal identity that Mr. Clark wrote; wonder if it was not a talk with him in room, if he telephoned instead?
53214A big dog?"
53214A clean one?"
53214A fortune teller?"
53214A joke?
53214A shot?
53214A torpedo such as he had made?
53214And how could the alarm go off by human means when he had made so certain that no one could enter?
53214And if a magician could wave a wand and turn a beast into a Prince, does n''t chemistry transmute base elements into wonderful, modern products?
53214And while I hate to suspect him--""But he was n''t there, today, when Doctor Ryder--""How do you know?"
53214And why, then, was there a strange chattering and jumping sound?
53214And_ you_ exploded a torpedo to call attention to a certain place and away from some other?"
53214Anyway, Roger, do you think we do n''t how loyal Potts is to you?
53214At whom?
53214Better sidle over and ask Grover?
53214But how?
53214But there''s ol-- olle-- something about a factory----""Olfactory?
53214But where, he mused, had the scientific star- student gone to?
53214But why did the record add something not in Tibet?
53214But---- Why had Potiphar Potts gone back to that secret tunnel?
53214By whom?
53214Ca n''t you think, Roger?"
53214Can you tell me?"
53214Chapter 9 THE VOICE IN THE SILENCE"Had your sleep out?"
53214Clark?
53214Claws on glass?
53214Clues coming from smells?
53214Coma?"
53214Could Grover have miscalculated, Roger wondered, in implying that the kangaroo was the impersonator?
53214Could be so many electrical switch noises or relays, but why was it so close to hearing Voice of Doom?
53214Could he find out what he was supposed to know?
53214Could it be-- really, a kangaroo?
53214Did Clark or Ellison do it to try to shoot the man at the desk?
53214Did he say anything?"
53214Did that ring true?
53214Did the man at the desk take him?"
53214Did you see me go out?"
53214Do n''t you know?
53214Do these tell me anything?
53214Do you know him?"
53214Do you know?"
53214Do you know?--who is it?"
53214Doctor Ryder?
53214Does that make me think of Clark, a jeweler?
53214Does that tell you the size of reel to wind it on?"
53214Ellison?
53214For what?
53214Furthermore, Roger mused, why had the fluoroscope and X- ray machinery been put into operation?
53214Gone?"
53214Grover turned to his younger cousin,"Does it strike you as convincing?"
53214Grover?
53214Had Potts, fighting either fire or intruder, been rendered incapable of responding to their telephone call?
53214Had his trap sprung?
53214Had it been the ever- blowing gale, stirring something?
53214Had some one, entering the laboratory, set off the first alarm as fire broke out?
53214Had someone-- or something!--drawn the rest away, and lured_ him_ there?
53214Had the power- house cut off their"juice"or had a dynamo cut out for the time?
53214Had this been tragedy?
53214Has Clark got some hold over Doctor Ryder that made him go after a telephone summons?
53214Have you located it?"
53214How about you, Roger?"
53214How could the answer fail to be recorded?
53214How did you discover it?"
53214How do they tell me anything?
53214How do you know my name, and what do you want to see me about?"
53214How does it fit?
53214How had he been spirited away?
53214How start?
53214How would it be known?
53214How would it help?
53214How''d I know the man wanted ice?"
53214How''s this?
53214How?
53214How?"
53214I wonder how important it really is, or if it was just plaster or a film in a can?
53214If his star- reading could warn him, why did n''t he take care?"
53214Important, but how?
53214Is Ellison able to work a combination"by ear"?
53214Is Potts safe?"
53214Is he there?
53214Is that my real clue?"
53214Is that what you saw?"
53214It was crackle of flame on like what old Astrovox said when we were unused record in my collecting old papers in upper room?
53214Kangaroo hitting it with paw?
53214Magic?
53214Might some one else be the next?
53214Monkey?
53214Mr. Millman, the electrical engineer, asked immediately of Dr. Ryder:"Have you any enemies?"
53214No Tibet?
53214No adventure?
53214No thrills?
53214Now what_ am_ I supposed to know that would reveal the''who''in this?"
53214Now, that leaves the talk that named Clark, after the Voice of Doom-- all three times it could have been the same record, of course-- what is left?"
53214Now-- what would have been his natural, subsequent procedure?"
53214Or Millman?
53214Or did Millman come along too soon and scare you off?"
53214Or did either one do it at the other?
53214Or had Zendt, formerly up with the doctor, put anything in that glass perhaps intended for either of the pair working there?
53214Or had he-- what?
53214Or some fresh menace, some creeping creature, some vindictive priest, who had made that tiny sound of a scraping shoe?
53214Or the night before?"
53214Or thieves?"
53214Or what?
53214Or, as Roger felt, could he have wanted to silence a tongue able to accuse him about Astrovox?
53214Or, would you rather be announced?"
53214Or-- Toby?
53214Or-- he thought-- was it all over?
53214Or-- was another inside?
53214Over- confidence?
53214Query, could Ellison have done it?
53214Query: how did Tibetans know all about our stock to substitute?
53214Roger gasped,"How do you get that?"
53214Roger?
53214See the scorch?
53214Seems important, because it was on record probably made in Tibet and brought here by-- Tibet lama?
53214Such as what?"
53214Suppose a gas in the atmosphere reacted with some exposed ingredient?
53214The Eye-- gone?"
53214The Voice again on a record that ought to have been blank?"
53214The doctor, turning, recognized him as he approached,"How''d you locate me so soon?"
53214The kangaroo-- shall we help him?"
53214The recording was again audible:"How did you get in?
53214Then what, besides?
53214Thought transference?"
53214To his surprise his pet, the tiny mouse, began to run about, to show unmistakable signs of animation-- or was it of excitement?
53214Toby?
53214Trickery?
53214Voice of Doom heard Was it record, same as others?
53214Want to bring my machine?"
53214Was it so wise to wait?
53214Was it too soon, Roger wondered, to screw it into the tiny receptacle?
53214Was that thump the telephone taken off hook?
53214Was that, thought Roger, a way that a person might behave who had put something in the water?
53214Was the man crazed?
53214Was the real culprit caught?
53214Well, for that jewel, what would not some characters do?
53214Were"appearances"cheating his common sense?
53214What animal, he mused, would fit the conditions?
53214What could those enlarged views hide from him?
53214What danger, he wondered, might lurk in just a visit?
53214What did he know?
53214What do you want?"
53214What else?"
53214What glass did he use?
53214What happened, Roger?
53214What made all that compulsatory?"
53214What was going on?
53214What was the matter with Grover?
53214What would they see?
53214What''s all them little windmills for?"
53214What''s the matter with everybody?
53214What''s your best price?"
53214What, Roger wondered, was the condition in that partitioned place adjoining their waiting room?
53214Where are you?"
53214Where in that office could a man be, and not have the camera register his presence?
53214Where is our boy?
53214Where was Cousin Grover?
53214Where were the rest?
53214Which of them?
53214Who besides Potts could have known that the genuine gem was in its place?
53214Who else?
53214Who had the sense to pull fuses, to stop our devices?
53214Who says you could get it from him?"
53214Who, besides, could be guilty?
53214Who, but the guilty man he accused, could be meant?
53214Why did fire alarm go off?
53214Why have they stopped ringing?"
53214Why should Toby want to do that?
53214Why was it important for him to be lured to the laboratory?
53214Why''n''t you ride right on in if you want the Doctor?"
53214Why?
53214Why?
53214Why?
53214Will that lamp burn him?"
53214Will you go and recover it, please?
53214Would it, he wondered, be Clark?
53214Would the people in Tibet pay you?"
53214You know what taking the gem means to those Tibetans?"
53214You mean-- like thought transference or the''ghosts''that spirit- mediums pretend to call on?"
53214You sent Potts to-- shall I say the real word?
53214Zendt, what do you say this is?--Stroke?
53214Zendt?
53214_ What_ law of Nature?
53214as the ape made a lunge and Roger, avoiding it, had to drop to his haunches to avoid the boxing kangaroo''s leap and stroke,"Would, eh?...
53214asked Millman,"the fire- cry on a record supposed to be unused?
53214chuckled Mr. Hope,"What do you say, Grover?"
53214in next day''s papers, get back his animal that could n''t tell what it was there for, and----""Well, what_ was_ it here for?
53214possible anybody made a record of it?
53214the combination being worked by expert who could tell by sound when tumblers fell right?
53214try to get to that cabinet.... Like to paw the Eye of the Buddha, eh, would you?"
62255All right, Colonel, shall we go? 62255 All right,"agreed Neville,"so what?
62255Bags out, sor?
62255He mimicked the character exactly?
62255How are your shadows doing?
62255How did he work?
62255How''s dis, faller?
62255Huh?
62255Lay out your t''ings, sor?
62255See?
62255Showboat? 62255 What is the next stop, skipper?"
62255What''s that?
62255You do n''t leave that bunk until I tell you to, y''understand? 62255 You''ve got it all, now?"
62255And Mr. Allington, too?"
62255But why_ me_, and why at Pallas?"
62255Clever, eh?"
62255Did it throw your mind off your troubles?"
62255Do I get the information I am after, or do I turn in my agent badge?"
62255Had Lunko improved his technique to the extent that he could even fool a wife?
62255Have you a vacant room where I can hang out for the remainder of the voyage?"
62255He wished... but hell, what was the use?
62255How did it begin, and what do you know?"
62255How long do you stay here?"
62255Now, whom do you think, could have been in a position to compile it?"
62255Or that no progress had been made?
62255Or that there was no emergency?
62255Or, Neville wondered, was his original theory of drugs or hypnotism correct?
62255Then he looked up and barked a caustic,"Well?"
62255Then the man in black turned to Neville and said in an icy voice,"And you, sir-- what is it you wish?"
62255This guy Simeon Carstairs, I take it, is the local man you have picked as the most likely prospect for your Master Mind crook to work on?"
62255Was the Carstairs he was trailing really Carstairs, or an understudy?
62255Well, what do you want_ me_ for?
62255What the hell is a showboat?"
62255What''s the emergency?"
62255Where is Carstairs?"
62255Where was the real Carstairs?
62255Who said anything about having had the_ best_ brains on the job?
62255Who was this phoney Carstairs?
62255Why in hell ca n''t these hicks in the gravel belt learn to catch a ship on time?"
62255Why-- oh, why-- do they let you rookies in here to bother me?"
62255Would you come?"
62255asked Lunko, impatiently,"The combination of his safe, his office and home habits?
62255hokay?"
57294And how do we feel this morning, eh? 57294 And how long does it take him to come round?"
57294And is not the thing we call life one tissue of intangibilities?
57294And pray, Miss Holme, what can it matter to you whether I am well or ill? 57294 And she said-- what?"
57294And who is Father Spiridion?
57294And why is it left there unburied?
57294And you will never cease to love me, will you?
57294Any objection to smoking?
57294Are you at all acquainted with Lady Pollexfen''s intentions in asking you to come to Dupley Walls?
57294Are you going across the Border?
57294Are you sure that you have no other name than Janet Holme?
57294Are your parents alive or dead? 57294 But how did I get here?"
57294But what country does the beggar belong to?
57294But what has Lady Pollexfen to do with me in any way?
57294But what is there in the room that she should prefer it to any other in the house for walking in by night?
57294But who is Lady Pollexfen, and where is Dupley Walls? 57294 But whose coffin is that, Sister Agnes?"
57294But why do you visit the room every midnight, Sister Agnes?
57294But why not?
57294But, sir, when shall I see the gentleman who got me out of the water?
57294Can it be true that you are an opium smoker?
57294Can nothing move her-- nothing melt that heart of adamant? 57294 Can you be in earnest?
57294Can you speak French, child?
57294Can you tell me now from your heart, little one, that you would not like to go to the play?
57294Captain Ducie, sir, if I am not misinformed?
57294Dear Janet, what is there to be afraid of? 57294 Did I not say that she would do famously in a little while?"
57294Did you see much service while you were in the army?
57294Do you know why you were consigned by the Park Hill people to this particular house-- to Dupley Walls-- to Me, in fact?
57294Do you not feel afraid to go there alone at such a time?
57294Do you travel far, to- day?
57294Do your experiences in any way resemble those recorded by De Quincey?
57294Does this fellow expect me to imitate his candour?
57294Does your master always look as he does now after he has been smoking opium?
57294Have you heard any news of your lost manuscript?
57294How many years were you at Park Hill Seminary? 57294 I will take my stand on one point: on the extraordinary resemblance which this child bears to----""To whom, Major Strickland?"
57294If you please, sir, where am I? 57294 Is it possible that he and Pollexfen were acquainted with each other in India?
57294Is it possible that these bearded gentlemen are also conspirators?
57294Is she not a relative of Lady Pollexfen?
57294It does not follow, I presume, that all the visions induced by the imbibition of opium, or what you term drashkil, are pleasant ones?
57294May I venture to call myself an old friend, Miss Holme? 57294 Miss Holme is not up yet, I suppose?"
57294More questioning, Miss Holme? 57294 My servant-- where is he?
57294Nor understand what is said when it is spoken in your presence?
57294Sir, of whom do I remind you?
57294Some of what you have termed your''experiences''are no doubt very singular ones?
57294Suppose we compromise the matter?
57294Then you will come to- night at twelve, and see how your master is by that time?
57294Was the MS. in your own writing, may I ask?
57294Were my feelings considered by those who sent her to Dupley Walls? 57294 What can be the nature of the great secret, I wonder, that is hidden between the Sibylline leaves I am in search of?
57294What folly is this?
57294What is it? 57294 What is your name, and how old are you?"
57294What makes you think that I know your history?
57294What shall I do? 57294 What, Geordie?
57294What-- is-- there-- in the room?
57294When shall I see her? 57294 Who is your friend there?"
57294Who rang the bell, Dance, a few minutes ago? 57294 Why do you stare at me so?
57294Why impossible, dear Janet?
57294Why was I crying?
57294Will her ladyship dare to deny it to- day?
57294Would he like to know all about my grandfather and grandmother, and that I have a cousin who is an earl? 57294 Would possession of the information that is contained in the MS. enable any one to work you harm?"
57294You are going to smoke opium?
57294You are not vexed with me for doing so?
57294You think you shall like Sister Agnes, eh? 57294 You, sir, are, I presume, in the army?"
57294And are you a doctor?"
57294And to whom are you talking?"
57294And yet I was wretched: for was not Miss Chinfeather dead?
57294Are you minded so to do?"
57294As for the so- called amenities of civilized life, what are they worth to one who, like me, has no longer the means of enjoying them?
57294Besides, would there not be something princely in such a theft?
57294But have you no curiosity as to the nature of your new duties?"
57294But hothouse grapes are nicer than mysteries, and how is it possible to give one''s serious attention to two things at a time?
57294But what interest could a great lady have in watching poor insignificant me?
57294But what matters it to me if they were?"
57294Could it be possible that Platzoff was killed?
57294Did I push open the door of the secret room, or was it opened for me by unseen hands?
57294Did you ever meet with him in your travels?"
57294Did you know my papa and mamma?"
57294Do not its most cherished pleasures fly you even as you are in the very net of trying to grasp them?
57294Do you know for certain that you-- you yourself-- are really here?--that you do not merely dream that you are here?
57294Ducie sat down close by the bed, and said in a kindly tone:"What is it?
57294First: Did Platzoff habitually carry the Diamond about his person?
57294Had I not been taught at school that sooner or later all rivers emptied themselves into the ocean?
57294Have you any to show me?"
57294He was about to be shown the great Diamond; but would the mere fact of seeing it advance him one step towards obtaining possession of it?
57294How is such an anomaly to be accounted for?
57294I dare be bound now, little Janet, that thou art fond of sweetmeats?"
57294I started up in bed, and called out, in a frightened voice,"Who''s there?"
57294If I have found the position of companion to Lady Pollexfen not quite unendurable, why should it be found so by you?
57294If the latter, what do you remember of them?"
57294In the world I should leave there would be one person only who would mourn for me-- Sister Agnes, who would----But what noise was that?
57294Is it therefore possible that mere accident can be at the bottom of such a coincidence?
57294Is not my theory of the Wandering Idol much more probable as well as far more poetical?
57294Is not that the truth, little one?"
57294Is there no one in all this big house to attend to your wants?
57294Lady Pollexfen can not abear people that are always prying and asking, What does this mean?
57294Of what possible value can it be to any one who may chance to find it?"
57294Said the driver--"How''s Tootlums to- night?"
57294Say-- will you not?"
57294Second: Was it kept in some skilfully- devised hiding- place about the house?
57294Shall I have the pleasure of your Company as far as I go by rail?"
57294Should not you like some tobacco?
57294That one was,"How is Sister Agnes?"
57294The Russian''s eager eyes asked him"What success?"
57294The finders I may or may not make that discovery, but how am I to ascertain what is the fact either one way or the other?
57294The first question she asked Dance when they reached her bedroom was:--"Does Sister Agnes still visit the Black Room every midnight?"
57294Then I said,"If you please, Mrs. Whitehead, may I see Miss Chinfeather before I go?"
57294Then neither of them is alive?"
57294To what strange chamber did this terrible door give access?
57294To- morrow?"
57294Was there any one inside the room?
57294Were these cold walls to be the only home her youth would ever know?
57294What are my petty sacrifices to such as these?
57294What can I do for you?
57294What do you know?"
57294What has become of my little Russian, I wonder?"
57294What is the name of that Frenchwoman, Agnes, who''finished''Lady Kinbuck''s girls?"
57294What is your name?
57294What more would you have?"
57294What time could be better than the present one for such a purpose?
57294What were they called, and where did they live?"
57294What will her ladyship say?"
57294Where does it come from?"
57294Whither would the river carry me?
57294Who was this visitor that came and went so mysteriously?
57294Who, then, could my mysterious visitor be?
57294Why had I lived all those dreary years at Park Hill without knowing her?
57294Why should she feel such an interest in one whom she had never seen till a few hours ago?
57294Will you for this once pardon my petulance and ill temper, and I will strive not to offend you again?"
57294Would Love or Hate open for me the doors of Dupley Walls?
57294You saved my life at the risk of your own, and how can I ever thank you enough?"
57294and to hope that even after all these years I am not quite forgotten?"
57294and what have I to do with either, Chirper, please?"
57294and where did you live before you went there?"
57294and where do you live?"
57294and who was the mysterious visitor who came here night after night with hushed footsteps and alone?
57294but why talk of these things?
57294can I ever forget them?
57294cried the woman, in a frightened voice,"how shall I ever dare to tell her?"
57294my dear Miss Janet?
57294or has the circumstance escaped your memory?"
57294said Janet, with a sudden flush and an eager light in her eyes;"but would Sister Agnes approve of my going to such a place?"
57294what do I wish?"
57294where''s the use of talking about it?
57294who would have expected such a thing this morning?
57294why do n''t you go away?"
57294why have you come here?"
5003A breakdown, eh? 5003 A fellow who comes into a fat legacy has got to do something, has n''t he?"
5003A flying machine valuable because of the autographs on it? 5003 A telegram, eh?"
5003Accounts for what?
5003Am I? 5003 An accident?"
5003And did he have real heavy eyebrows?
5003And if I do that, will you-- er-- drop the charge against me?
5003And if you do n''t find out anything there?
5003And matters were not going very well, were they?
5003And see if the man with the pointed chin is there?
5003And they took it there?
5003And what of the things in his room?
5003And you came here all alone?
5003And you have n''t seen or heard of him since?
5003And you have the shares to sell?
5003And you think he went to New York on that account, Dick?
5003Anderson Rover''s oldest son? 5003 Any news, Jack?"
5003Anybody hurt?
5003Anybody in I can talk to?
5003Anything else that you remember?
5003Anything in it?
5003Anything wrong?
5003Are n''t you willing, Dora?
5003Are you a policeman?
5003Are you going to have Japson arrested?
5003Are you hurt, Dick?
5003Are you on board? 5003 Are you sure of that?
5003Are you sure that other car will be back in an hour?
5003Are you sure this is the spot where it was struck?
5003Are you the captain?
5003Are you willing to have me take a look around?
5003Belright?
5003But do n''t you think you would be better off out of the State, or in Canada?
5003But for what reason?
5003But how are we going to locate Crabtree?
5003But how are we to get those autographs back?
5003But how did they know about Crabtree?
5003But how did you come to change your plans?
5003But if it was Crabtree, what has he to do with dad''s visit to New York?
5003But what can you do, Dick?
5003But what do you want to leave us out for?
5003But what good would it do to hold him a prisoner?
5003But what is it?
5003But what of father?
5003But where can you find such a lawyer?
5003But where is dad? 5003 But who are those men you mentioned?"
5003But who was he?
5003But would that cause him to disappear? 5003 But you can save something, ca n''t you?"
5003By the way, I wonder when the authorities will try those rascals?
5003Ca n''t we get bail?
5003Ca n''t we get out another way?
5003Ca n''t we telephone over to Plankville, to Sheriff Fells?
5003Ca n''t you call up some of your father''s business friends or acquaintances?
5003Ca n''t you get us any sort of a car?
5003Ca n''t your father manage it?
5003Ca n''t your uncle help him?
5003Can I get them handy?
5003Can I go to the hospital with you?
5003Can I help you out on it?
5003Can I hire a boat around here to take me out?
5003Can it be possible?
5003Can we hire a car here, and at once?
5003Can you catch that other taxi?
5003Can you remember the date this happened?
5003Can you watch''em, Jake?
5003Could a fellow buy five thousand dollars''worth at sixty- five?
5003Dan, will you go out and get a policeman or two, just as quickly as you can?
5003Dick Rover, is that you?
5003Dick, ca n''t you see any open field where we can land?
5003Dick, do you think you can strike a straight course for Plankville?
5003Did Sam say anything about Crabtree?
5003Did he have an attack while he was here?
5003Did he hire any lawyer to defend him?
5003Did he leave any of his papers with you when he was here last?
5003Did he say he would be here sure?
5003Did he say who the other prisoners were who got away?
5003Did he say you could take the machine?
5003Did n''t come down?
5003Did they hurt you any, Dad?
5003Did they take it to Ashton?
5003Did those men and my father go with him?
5003Did you hear the name of the owner?
5003Did you learn anything?
5003Did you pass her, Captain Voss?
5003Did you say Japson?
5003Did you see''em?
5003Do n''t we get that dollar?
5003Do n''t you know him?
5003Do they connect?
5003Do we get our property or not?
5003Do you know anything about the man who got away?
5003Do you know anything of a place called the Blue Horseshoe Tavern?
5003Do you know him after all?
5003Do you like her, Dick?
5003Do you really mean it?
5003Do you remember the ride we gave Dora and Nellie, when we rescued them from Sobber, Crabtree, and the others?
5003Do you think he met with an accident?
5003Do you think he met with foul play at the hands of those men he came to see?
5003Do you think he''ll raise a row?
5003Do you think they had father abducted?
5003Do you want to leave a deposit on them?
5003Does that go to the Battery?
5003Father, are you here?
5003Fogg, have n''t you got something to drink, and some cigars?
5003Glad?
5003Going alone?
5003Going to give up law?
5003Going to leave those men here, Dick?
5003Going to the spread, are n''t you?
5003Going to town?
5003Gone?
5003Had n''t we better telegraph to them and see what they have to say?
5003Handed in his resignation, eh?
5003Have n''t we got time to go to Hope?
5003Have they any idea what became of Crabtree?
5003Have they caught those men who escaped from the jail?
5003Have you any word about my father?
5003Have you discovered anything?
5003Have you done anything for them-- I mean, signed any papers, or anything like that?
5003Have you forgotten the spread Bob Grimes is going to give? 5003 Have you had any further word, sir?"
5003Have you heard the news?
5003Have you seen Fogg?
5003Have you spoken to the police about it?
5003He has been here then?
5003He is transacting quite some business with you, is n''t he?
5003Hello, what''s this?
5003Hey there, what are you running for?
5003Hi, Tom, am I alone?
5003Hi, what''s this?
5003How are you and the others getting along, Dick?
5003How are you?
5003How can I get into the main house? 5003 How can we follow that car?"
5003How can we-- when we have no evidence against them?
5003How did he get free?
5003How did the man look that you saw?
5003How did the other man look?
5003How did they get that auto so quick?
5003How did you find that out?
5003How did you happen to land on the track?
5003How do you feel, Tom?
5003How does he feel?
5003How does it go?
5003How far from here?
5003How far is it to Rallston?
5003How far is it to the railroad station?
5003How in the name of Adam did that get here?
5003How is the Muse to- day, red- hot?
5003How long ago was this?
5003How long will you be gone, Dick?
5003How many men?
5003How much do you want for the outfit as it stands?
5003How much do you want?
5003How much further to that place?
5003How''s that?
5003How?
5003I asked what was the price of eggs?
5003I asked who was in charge of this flat car with this flying machine?
5003I do n''t suppose any word came from the farm for us?
5003I guess you can get New York City, ca n''t you?
5003I wonder if it was he or old Crabtree who talked to Pelter over the''phone?
5003I wonder what those rascals will tell the proprietor?
5003I-- I hate to say it, but do you think it''s possible that dad got-- got a little bit out of his head-- with that business worrying him?
5003If I give you a dollar, will that be all right?
5003If that was so, why did they run away?
5003If you want those men arrested, had n''t you better call a policeman or two?
5003If you want to catch that schooner, why do n''t you go downtown after her?
5003In his room?
5003In that case, why do n''t you put the harbor police on the job?
5003Is Mr. Japson in the offices now?
5003Is Mr. Pelter there yet?
5003Is he alone?
5003Is he dead?
5003Is it Dick Rover?
5003Is it for me?
5003Is that all?
5003Is that all?
5003Is that so? 5003 Is that so?
5003Is there anything new about your father''s business?
5003Is this the Rovers''house?
5003Just as I thought,murmured Dick"They did n''t go out, did they?"
5003Knew you''d get what, the measles?
5003Know where he is? 5003 May I ask who rented it?"
5003Maybe Crabtree started the fire?
5003Mr. Tubbs, do you call this a box of candy?
5003Now then, Dick, what''s your programme?
5003Oh, Dick, what shall we do?
5003Oh, Mr. Tubbs, what kind of candy is it anyway? 5003 Oh, what made you come so late?"
5003Oh, what shall we do, Randolph?
5003Oh, you mean that crazy man who was aboard my schooner? 5003 Plotting mischief?"
5003Pretty shrewd, are n''t you?
5003Remember the fun we had with him on our last trip here, Tom?
5003Sail to Plankville in the Dartaway?
5003Say, are you a lawyer?
5003See here, are you of age-- have you authority to close this matter?
5003See that schooner? 5003 See that taxi?
5003Shall I open it now?
5003Shall I send word back that we are coming?
5003So that''s your game, is it?
5003So you are Mr. Rover''s sons, eh?
5003Some of us? 5003 Something unusual, eh?"
5003Supposing I hold the shares for you until to- morrow?
5003Taking a little trip, eh?
5003Tell me-- didn''t you act on orders from that lawyer, Fogg?
5003The car that just went out?
5003The-- er-- the price of eggs? 5003 Then I can depend on you?
5003Then Pelter, Japson& Company have n''t anything to do with it?
5003Then you want me to date those papers a week back?
5003Then you''ve heard from Sam?
5003There are no other big stockholders?
5003There''s my gun, how do you like it?
5003They were?
5003Think we had better go right up to the door and knock?
5003To New York, I suppose?
5003To me?
5003To- morrow morning?
5003Tom, are you quite comfortable here?
5003Want me here?
5003Want me to go along?
5003Want me to help?
5003Want to go for a row on the river?
5003Want to leave an order for anything?
5003Want to make an investment for yourself?
5003Want to ride down on the flat car with her?
5003Want to see me? 5003 Want to take those fellows on board?"
5003Was it a hallman?
5003Was it the engine?
5003Was the fellow in your room?
5003We did n''t hit anybody, did we?
5003Well, now you''ve got the wreckage, what are you going to do with it?
5003Well, what have you got to say about it?
5003Well, what''s our next move?
5003Well, you got settled about that flying machine, did n''t you?
5003Were n''t you here at the time?
5003Were n''t you in the chicken business once?
5003Were you in that flying machine?
5003Wha-- what is it?
5003What about taking it back?
5003What am I to do?
5003What are you doing in Brooklyn?
5003What are you doing, Dan?
5003What are you going to do with it?
5003What are you trying to do, Tubbs, knock me down?
5003What became of the other fellow-- the man with the pointed chin?
5003What box?
5003What broke?
5003What business is that of yours, young fellow?
5003What can the police do-- with no clews to work on?
5003What could happen to him?
5003What did the men say, Sam?
5003What did you learn, Dick?
5003What do you make of this?
5003What do you mean?
5003What do you mean?
5003What do you mean?
5003What do you mean?
5003What do you suppose they are worth?
5003What do you want here?
5003What do you want me for?
5003What do you want to know the price of eggs for?
5003What do you want us to do?
5003What do you want?
5003What do you-- er-- mean?
5003What does it say?
5003What does the doctor say about the case?
5003What have you got to tell us?
5003What have you got to tell?
5003What is it, Tom?
5003What is it, Tom?
5003What is it?
5003What is it?
5003What is it?
5003What is it?
5003What is it?
5003What is that to you?
5003What is that, Tom?
5003What is that----"How much-- out with it? 5003 What is you offer?"
5003What kind of a looking man was he?
5003What news?
5003What of Crabtree?
5003What of Sobber, Larkspur and the others?
5003What shall we do now?
5003What sort of fun do you want, Tom?
5003What time is the spread to come off, Tom?
5003What was that?
5003What were you to do?
5003What yer going to do with her, Jimmy?
5003What''s that to you?
5003What''s that?
5003What''s the matter?
5003What''s the price of eggs this morning?
5003What''s this?
5003What''s to be done now?
5003What, Tom?
5003What?
5003What?
5003What?
5003When do you expect him?
5003When was that man here last?
5003When was this?
5003When will Mr. Pelter be back?
5003Where are you going?
5003Where could they take him to, in such a city as this?
5003Where did he go to?
5003Where did they go?
5003Where did you go?
5003Where does he live?
5003Where is he?
5003Where is that fellow?
5003Where is that man who is a prisoner?
5003Where shall we go?
5003Where were they going at first?
5003Where?
5003Which apartment is it?
5003Which way?
5003Who be yeou?
5003Who gets that?
5003Who had the other breakdown?
5003Who is going to run the Dartaway back?
5003Who is he?
5003Who is in charge here?
5003Who is it?
5003Who is that?
5003Who is the man?
5003Who is there?
5003Who it is from?
5003Who was it?
5003Who was left here besides you?
5003Who were they?
5003Who?
5003Why ca n''t we stay here for a day or two?
5003Why did n''t you go up and make sure? 5003 Why did you change your mind and come here?"
5003Why did you try to run away?
5003Why do n''t you answer the young fellow straight, Jimmy?
5003Why do n''t you telephone to the office, Jimmy?
5003Why in such a hurry, Dick?
5003Why not, Aunt Martha?
5003Why not, if he met with an accident?
5003Why so?
5003Why, that he was so low?
5003Why, what do you mean?
5003Will they let us in?
5003Will you do it right away?
5003Will you get him for me, just as soon as you can?
5003Will you go out and see if you can find a policeman?
5003Will you take''em over?
5003Will you tell us where they went? 5003 Will you-- er-- step into my office?"
5003Wonder what is up now?
5003Wonder where they are?
5003Wonder who took her, and to where?
5003Would n''t you like to go up with us some day, Doctor?
5003Would that be so if we could prove that dad had been kept a prisoner?
5003Yes, want a ride?
5003Yes,"It''s too bad he has these weak spells, is n''t it?
5003Yo''father am missing, ai n''t he?
5003You are the-- er-- the young gentlemen who were in the-- er-- the flying machine smash- up?
5003You brought it here, did n''t you?
5003You did? 5003 You do n''t know where they went?"
5003You do n''t suppose they have passed here, do you?
5003You do n''t think he will-- will die?
5003You do n''t?
5003You have a boat handy?
5003You have n''t any word from dad?
5003You have not heard from Josiah Crabtree, have you?
5003You mean for helping Dad?
5003You mean for our personal injuries?
5003You mean from your father?
5003You mean that he might go-- go insane, or something like that?
5003You mean the crazy man?
5003You owed my father a great deal of money, did n''t you?
5003You say he went ashore?
5003You think Crabtree knows those other men?
5003You were?
5003You will appear against these scoundrels?
5003You will not accept?
5003You''re the boy from Pelter, Japson& Company, are n''t you?
5003You-- er-- you wo n''t go away until after my wedding, will you?
5003Am I right, Doctor?"
5003And I want to know what business you had to bring that flying machine here?"
5003And how can we get to him and rescue him?"
5003And then, as he squeezed her hand, she added, in a lower voice:"How is that other matter coming along?"
5003And then, what can have happened to Anderson?"
5003Are you hurt?"
5003Are you out there?"
5003Are you sure you are well enough to go with me, Dad?"
5003Are you the Rover brothers?"
5003But at the same time we-- er-- we want to do the right thing, you know-- rather do that than have any unpleasant feelings, understand?
5003But if you expected him the next day after he was here, and he did n''t come, why did n''t you telephone to him?"
5003But what have you got on the pad?"
5003But what shall I say?"
5003But, say, wot you askin''about them fer?
5003But----""And how about Grace, Sam?"
5003By the way, can you describe him to me?"
5003CHAPTER I THE BOYS AT BRILL"Boys, what do you say to a trip in the Dartaway this afternoon?"
5003CHAPTER II ABOUT THE PAST"Did you get any more particulars?"
5003CHAPTER IV THE END OF THE"DARTAWAY""Quit college?
5003CHAPTER VII THE SALE OF THE BIPLANE"Did you hear what that man said?"
5003CHAPTER XVI MORE DISCOVERIES"You settled up with him in full?"
5003Ca n''t you get a doctor?"
5003Can I get a doctor anywhere around here?"
5003Did you ever try to write poetry-- real poetry, I mean?"
5003Did you get a look at him, Dick?"
5003Did you get our printed prospectus?"
5003Did you learn anything?"
5003Do n''t you remember Pelter said over the telephone that he would''make him do it''?
5003Do you catch the idea?"
5003Do you imagine Crabtree had anything to do with his disappearance?"
5003Do you know her?"
5003Do you know him?"
5003Do you know''em?"
5003Do you mean to insinuate that we-- er-- may know where he is-- why he is missing?"
5003Do you think we''ll give up the things we have fought so hard to get?
5003Feel pretty good otherwise, eh?"
5003Had he been hurt, or killed, or was he being held a prisoner by his enemies?
5003Have they gone?"
5003He accordingly addressed a message to the manager of that hotel, as follows:"Is Anderson Rover at your hotel?
5003How he was faring, and would they be able to rescue him?
5003How is your mother?"
5003How should I know?"
5003How was he dressed and how did he talk?"
5003I thought we were all going?"
5003I was suspicious, but what could I do?
5003I wonder what he''ll do next?
5003If the diameter of an egg ten degrees west of its North Pole is two and eleven- tenths inches, what is the value of the shell unfilled?
5003Is n''t he in New York?"
5003Is that all?"
5003It kind of helps to-- to-- pay off old scores, eh?"
5003Japson?"
5003Let me see that box?"
5003Nervous, eh?
5003Now the question is, Did he go and see those men, and did they waylay him, or did they hire somebody to do it?"
5003Now the question is, What are we going to do about it?"
5003Oh, Dick, do you want to do that?"
5003Oh, what shall I do?
5003Pelter?"
5003Pelter?"
5003Pelter?"
5003Putnam?"
5003Rover?"
5003Rover?"
5003Rover?"
5003So he has disappeared?
5003Some more talk followed and then Japson exclaimed:"Why ca n''t we make Rover sign those papers now?
5003The one who was in the rowboat with the others?"
5003The only question is, Can we get anybody down there to go out after the schooner?"
5003The question is, What are we going to do?
5003The question is, Where?
5003The question then is, Do you want to do what is fair?"
5003Then he is not so well?"
5003Then, struck by a sudden idea, he added:"Paul, is your motorcycle ready for use?"
5003They are to pay us for damages, do n''t you see?
5003Tom heard him ask"What time?
5003Tubbs?"
5003Want me to go back, too?"
5003Was it possible that his brother, so full of fun and high spirits, was so badly hurt that he was going to die?
5003Was that fellow mixed up in this game also?
5003What about those two rooms?"
5003What can it mean?"
5003What can it mean?"
5003What did those men pay you?"
5003What do I get out of this?"
5003What do you mean?
5003What had become of his parent?
5003What had taken his parent to New York and why had he disappeared so mysteriously?
5003What happened to you?"
5003What if his father should never be heard of again?
5003What is it?"
5003What sort?"
5003What''s up?"
5003When was he last seen?"
5003Where are you?"
5003Where?
5003Where?"
5003Who are you?"
5003Who was the man?"
5003Why did n''t they cut a door through?"
5003Why did n''t you collar him?"
5003Why, do n''t you know that the planes of that machine were covered with the autographs of most of the big men of this country?
5003Will you come with us?"
5003Wonder how many stories it is?"
5003You''d like another ten, would n''t you?"
5003exclaimed Dick,"How far is that from here?"
5003put in Dick"When did this happen?"
5003want to earn a dollar quick?"
5003who''s that?"
51076A lawyer? 51076 A pleasant luncheon, I trust?"
51076A what?
51076An exciting quarter of an hour, eh, Aaron?
51076And financially?
51076And grandfather took you on without a word?
51076And our friend from the country?
51076And that?
51076And the poet?
51076And what are you doing in Bond Street?
51076And why not adventurer?
51076And why?
51076And your reply?
51076And your titles?
51076Anything happened?
51076Anything wrong, sir?
51076Are n''t you hungry?
51076Are those the people,the lawyer asked eagerly,"on whose account Brodie moved away?"
51076Are we coming soon,he asked,"to the end of your stock-- or rather your brother''s stock of jewels?"
51076Badminton? 51076 Bartnership?"
51076Better times arrived, eh? 51076 Betting?
51076Bring you something to drink, gentlemen?
51076Business?
51076But it is amusing, surely?
51076But where did you come from? 51076 But where on earth did he get the money?"
51076But who allowed you to enter?
51076But who are you, then?
51076But why for me?
51076By the by, Grimm,he suggested,"have you any objection-- you have so often asked me to have a look at your rooms here?"
51076By the by, what about Jack Lovejoy?
51076By the by, you do n''t happen to know of a rhyme for silken, do you?
51076By the by,he enquired suddenly,"how did you come in?
51076By what right, will you tell me, this piracy?
51076Can I come and see you at eleven o''clock to- morrow morning?
51076Can I go to the door and shout at them?
51076Can you communicate with Mr. Harvey Grimm?
51076Can you hear, Aaron?
51076Can you keep those other two off for a moment whilst I get my wind? 51076 Can you tell me in which direction his sympathies lie with regard to the war?"
51076Collision?
51076Coming my way, Lovejoy?
51076Could I have a word with you, sir?
51076Could I hear what it was all about?
51076Could he come?
51076Did you see the way he peered around? 51076 Did you,"the solicitor for the defence asked,"impose entire secrecy upon Mr. Harvey Grimm?"
51076Do I understand,he enquired,"that our enterprise is on the side of the law?"
51076Do I understand,the young man asked,"that you will pay for the chop?"
51076Do n''t you have any elevators in your offices on this side?
51076Do you believe in forebodings, Stephen?
51076Do you happen to know Mrs. Abrahams of Northumberland Court?
51076Do you know anything about the De Floge diamonds?
51076Do you know anything of the prisoner?
51076Do you know that it cost the best part of a quid to get down here, guv''nor? 51076 Do you know that the jewel you are wearing is worth nearly a million francs?"
51076Do you mind just running over its points once more?
51076Do you notice how that man at the bar is staring, Cresswell? 51076 Do you think that he would trust us after that last little affair?
51076Eh, what-- what, my dear?
51076Enquiries, eh?
51076Even if that confidence,she persisted,"should bring the person who offered it within the hold of the law?"
51076Forgive me,he whispered,"but is this wise?
51076Getting proud, old chap?
51076Gone? 51076 Guv''nor,"he whispered,"''ave you got any pals in this building?"
51076Had the Dutchman got the goods on him?
51076Has grandfather been doing anything, eh?
51076Has he got the nerve?
51076Has he recovered yet?
51076Has there been an earthquake?
51076Have a drink?
51076Have n''t I heard the name somewhere, or seen it in the papers lately?
51076Have they?
51076Have you any objection,he asked,"to our examining the parcel which you are carrying?"
51076Have you anything against me?
51076Have you anything to propose to me?
51076Have you got your electric torch in your pocket?
51076Have you met with the work of Stephen Cresswell?
51076He''s a clever workman, is n''t he?
51076How did you come here?
51076How do you know it''s a woman?
51076How has he fared?
51076How is the good Mr. Grimm, and what is the news this morning?
51076How much?
51076How much?
51076How shall we know whom to look out for, then?
51076How''s the new play going?
51076Hullo, what''s this?
51076I begin to realise----"What?
51076I do n''t care twopence whether you''re a Jew or not, but is n''t your name Levy?
51076I do n''t suppose you''ve ever seen me on the stage, even?
51076I know him, certainly,Harvey Grimm replied, frowning,"but I ca n''t imagine what the mischief he is doing in my rooms?"
51076I know, but what''s a man to do?
51076I may be allowed, your Worship,he asked,"to cross- examine the witness?"
51076I shall find you here, perhaps, in-- say, ten minutes?
51076I shall remember every word that you have said, and I do n''t think I have ever felt so much like----"Like what?
51076I want to know how you got into the North Sea?
51076I wonder what you want to enquire about?
51076I''ve no idea of making a fool of myself,Harvey Grimm replied,"but do you mind if I help myself to a whisky and soda?
51076If Sir Lionel declines to interfere,the inspector pointed out,"what can we do?"
51076If you want to earn more money,she asked,"why do you work for grandfather?
51076If you want to gas, what about your own swim to the river police- station?
51076In what way?
51076Inspector,Cresswell asked eagerly,"your powers will allow you to hold him, wo n''t they?"
51076Inspector?
51076Is anything wrong, Henriette?
51076Is anything wrong?
51076Is he able to give any account of what happened?
51076Is n''t that beautiful? 51076 Is n''t that rather an assumption on your part?"
51076Is she one of the gang?
51076Is that Harvey Grimm?
51076Is that because I am a woman? 51076 Is that so?"
51076Is that the reason why my bedroom seems all upside down?
51076Is that true?
51076Is this a trap into which you have drawn us? 51076 It is worth twenty pounds, my bauble, is it?"
51076It is your father who sleeps there?
51076It is,Jacob Potts admitted,"and wot about it?"
51076It''s Rosa, is it? 51076 Just open the door, will you?
51076Know anything about maritime law?
51076Leopold,she exclaimed, talking to him rapidly in French,"what have you done?
51076Let me see,she went on, making room for him by her side,"when was it that I met you at your aunt''s?"
51076Look here, Harvey,he asked,"do you want to make a scrap of it?
51076Look here,she said,"you''re the man, are n''t you, who came messing round my grandfather''s jewellery shop a few weeks ago?
51076Look here,the girl expostulated,"you''re going to leave David and me your money, are n''t you?
51076Look here,the girl went on,"if I tell you, will you swear that you wo n''t get my grandfather into this?"
51076Lunching late, are n''t you?
51076Madame will come this way?
51076Madame?
51076Married?
51076May I ask you to consider what I have said in confidence, to forget this little adventure, and never again in this life to worry about the Dutchman?
51076May I ask you, sir, whether you have any evidence in support of these extraordinary statements of yours?
51076May I ask your reason for this?
51076May I ask, sir, whether you are acquainted with my poems?
51076May I enquire if this is an English man- of- war?
51076May I go along, sir?
51076May it not continue?
51076Mean to say you get a chap to go about when you''re in hiding, and establish alibis for you?
51076Mr. Aaron Rodd,he said,"do you mind if I speak to you for a moment with perfect frankness?"
51076Mr. Cresswell tells me that you are a lawyer?
51076My ignorance,the young man declared,"is amazing, but that, I presume, is a legalised form of robbery?
51076My little adventure?
51076Nice little trio of conspirators we are, eh?
51076No good his being seen talking to us when the quarry''s about, eh? 51076 Now tell me what you two men are doing on barrels in the North Sea?"
51076Now what about those two sets of fishing- rods there?
51076Now what do you want me to do? 51076 On business at half- past eleven?"
51076Plenty of feeling for others you have, have n''t you?
51076Queer business, eh?
51076Rather a heavy sort of crowd for you, is n''t it?
51076Ravenous,Mr. Stephen Cresswell confessed,"but what can one do with eightpence?"
51076Say when?
51076Say, are you in the habit of carrying valuable necklaces about with you in your overcoat pocket, Grimm?
51076Say, is this your floor, Grimm?
51076Say, this is Miss Letchowiski, is n''t it?
51076Seen him here before?
51076Shall we be married soon?
51076Sir,he enquired,"am I to conclude that you have purchased a copy-- the copy of poems you hold in your hand?"
51076Sir,he said,"forgive me if I take a liberty, but am I right in presuming that you are the author of this volume?"
51076So that''s the line, eh?
51076So this is our third hand, eh?
51076So you''re going to take that tone, are you?
51076So you''re in this, are you, Potts?
51076Some little trifle,he suggested,"commemorative of the occasion?"
51076Some one seems to have been playing a dirty trick on you, eh?
51076Surely it is best?
51076Take it off?
51076Tell me about them?
51076Tell me first,she begged, keeping her fingers upon the closed door,"why were you so sad and silent all luncheon- time?"
51076Tell me what you mean when you say that Harvey Grimm has gone? 51076 Tell me what''s happened to her?"
51076Tell me, have you news of my necklace?
51076Tell me,she enquired,"in English money how much is that a year?"
51076Tell us about it?
51076Tell us through what channel of thought, my young friend, you have arrived at that conclusion?
51076That all?
51076That girl-- do you see what she is wearing-- around her neck?
51076That is the line,Harvey Grimm assented,"and what are you going to do about it?"''
51076That so?
51076That you, Aaron?
51076That''s your cousin Rosa, is n''t it?
51076The boys broken loose, eh?
51076The friend with whom I met you first?
51076The hall porter----"Well?
51076The letter----?
51076The police?
51076There will be no trouble, I presume,he said a little diffidently,"as to the settlement of our bill?
51076There''s no charge against the old gentleman and his granddaughter, then?
51076They could n''t identify the diamond, then?
51076To me?
51076Vat you vant here?
51076Vot you want me for?
51076Vy should you search my premises? 51076 We dined at Romano''s----""Alone, I trust?"
51076We have perhaps made a mistake?
51076Well?
51076Well?
51076Well?
51076What about that little dinner we were going to have, eh, and a theatre? 51076 What about the necklace?"
51076What about twelve o''clock, guv''nor? 51076 What address-- that taxi?"
51076What are you doing to- night,she asked,"after work?"
51076What are you going to do with it?
51076What can I show the shentlemen?
51076What did I do last night?
51076What do I care? 51076 What do they do there?"
51076What do you expect to find, if it''s a fair question?
51076What do you suppose he is doing there?
51076What do you want here?
51076What do you want here?
51076What do you want with him?
51076What does Mr. Harvey Grimm say about it?
51076What does it matter? 51076 What is it you are working at?"
51076What is it?
51076What is it?
51076What is your business? 51076 What sort of people come into these parts, anyway?"
51076What was that about going on there to- night?
51076What were you working at when I came in?
51076What would you like to do?
51076What you looking for?
51076What you think?
51076What''ll the Dutchman get?
51076What''s that?
51076What''s that?
51076What''s the game, Sid?
51076What''s the name of this boat?
51076What''s this?
51076What''s this?
51076What''s upset you?
51076What''s wrong here?
51076What''s yours?
51076What, by the by, became of that diamond?
51076Whatever made him a friend of yours?
51076When are we going to embark upon another adventure of the sort?
51076When can we see him?
51076Where am I to come to, and when?
51076Where are you?
51076Where are your offices?
51076Where are your''n?
51076Where can one find words?
51076Where did you come in?
51076Where exactly did they mean to take her?
51076Where is my sister?
51076Where''s Cresswell?
51076Where''s Harvey Grimm?
51076Where''s the guv''nor?
51076Who are you?
51076Who is this man, and what does he want?
51076Who,the poet asked eagerly,"is Jeremiah Sands?
51076Why are you so sure that it will be the young lady who will keep the appointment?
51076Why do n''t you go about under your own name?
51076Why do you bother about those stupid men?
51076Why do you watch there?
51076Why is n''t she interned?
51076Why not go to your club and wait?
51076Why not take him into partnership?
51076Why not? 51076 Why not?"
51076Why not?
51076Why-- you mean to say you were there, then? 51076 Why?"
51076Why?
51076Why?
51076Why?
51076Why?
51076Will you go, please, at once to Giro''s,she begged him,"and tell Leopold?
51076Will you see whether you can find this gentleman in the hotel?
51076Will you tell me your name and address?
51076Will you tell me, my sister,he enquired,"what you are doing here?"
51076Will you tell the magistrate your name?
51076Would it well out easier with the help of a matutinal?
51076Would you like me to call and ask Mr. Hyam to come across and sit with you?
51076Yes, dear?
51076You are Mademoiselle de Floge?
51076You are a great man, sir,the poet exclaimed, grasping him by the hand,"but what was it you whispered in his ear?"
51076You are going back now to the Milan?
51076You are not English?
51076You are not expecting a client this morning, I presume?
51076You are not worrying about my errand?
51076You are sure you have no more business to attend to?
51076You are thinking only of yourself, then?
51076You are, I believe,the solicitor continued,"a godson of the late King of the Belgians?"
51076You did n''t really know the fellow, did you?
51076You do n''t mean that it''s Madame de Borria''s necklace you''ve got?
51076You do n''t mean to say that you''ve got two necklaces?
51076You had them searched, I suppose,the other enquired,"to be sure they had n''t the real goods with them?"
51076You have finished?
51076You have met, perhaps, with a little accident? 51076 You have n''t such a thing as a cigarette, I suppose?"
51076You have not yet met my brother, have you?
51076You kiss my granddaughter-- you?
51076You know Inspector Ditchwater, do n''t you, Grimm?
51076You know him, perhaps?
51076You know what happened to me?
51076You know where he is?
51076You mean that the stone is amongst those that your brother has acquired?
51076You mean that yellow thing?
51076You mean that you are being followed?
51076You mean to say that it was here all the time?
51076You received my message?
51076You refer to the mysterious disappearance of a diamond from your friend''s office?
51076You saw it yesterday, did n''t you? 51076 You sent for me?"
51076You will bring them to me?
51076You will not be afraid?
51076You wo n''t leave me, Aaron? 51076 You''re a nice man, are n''t you, eh?"
51076You''ve heard of him?
51076You, too, have seen the answer to our advertisement?
51076Your purchase, then, was accidental?
51076''''Ave you read my book?''
51076''Ad a spring- cleaning,''aven''t you?
51076''Ave you ever seen Canary Joe box?"
51076''Do you know anything about maritime law?''
51076''E do n''t seem to feel pain.... And bein''as we''re on the subject of that scrap, sir, are you above taking a word of advice from an old man?"
51076''Ullo there?"
51076*****"Feeling better, Aaron?"
51076... What?
51076... Where''s Aaron?"
51076A girl has to have a husband, does n''t she?
51076A nice dowry for me, eh?"
51076Abrahams?"
51076Abrahams?"
51076Abrahams?"
51076Adventurers, gentlemen, are you?
51076After the cinema, perhaps, we have a little supper together, eh?"
51076Am I right, I wonder, in presuming that there has not been much use for it lately?"
51076An_ avocat_?"
51076And then?"
51076And you, Rodd?
51076Are you aware, sir, of your position?
51076Are you not also hungry?"
51076As a matter of fact, I just want to cast my eye over Lovejoy''s friends, do you see?"
51076At three o''clock this afternoon?"
51076Besides, ca n''t you understand, Aaron?
51076But as to results eh...?"
51076But those furs-- were they very expensive, my dear?"
51076But why not write a note and send it up by the waiter?"
51076But you-- what do you think of as you sit there?
51076By the by, were you going back to your rooms, by any chance?"
51076Can you come and help?
51076Can you come down?"
51076Can you tell me, before I attempt another flight of these very dusty and unsympathetic steps, whether Mr. Aaron Rodd is within?"
51076Card playing?"
51076Did you happen to notice,"he asked anxiously,"if that goll- darned Dutchman was down there?"
51076Do n''t you think, however, that you are playing a little too near to the fire?"
51076Do n''t you think----?"
51076Do you know that you are a wonderful person?
51076Do you recognise the old lady upon whom I am in attendance to- day, the old lady who went with me into that shop?"
51076Do you think they would have let mademoiselle go until she had told from whence came the Yellow Eye?
51076Does it run to cigars?"
51076Had it all really happened?
51076Have I ever mentioned that I am also something of a snob?"
51076Have you counted the cost of it?"
51076Have you not learnt the first axiom of the adventurer-- there is nothing which dispels suspicion so readily as candour?"
51076Have you read Cresswell''s poems?"
51076He is not a man of culture by any chance?"
51076How can we get into touch with some one who will buy them and ask no questions?"
51076How did I spend the morning?"
51076How did you get here?"
51076How do I know that you are of the police?
51076How much money did you get for that stone you stole from us?"
51076How old are you?
51076How shall I force my works into their hands and their eightpences into my pocket?"
51076How, then, do you carry through your great coups, my friend?
51076I am right, am I not, when I assume that your present position is new to you?"
51076I ask you, sir, was there ever a more flagrant case of spoiling a man''s market?
51076I claim that young man, Rodd, do you hear?
51076I have acquaintances whose life has been spent-- shall we say on the fringe of things?
51076If the man Brodie had not been a fool, if he had known anything of jewels, if he had not been blind, where should we have been at this moment?
51076In the event of the prosecution having no further evidence to offer to- day, which I understand to be the case, may I be allowed to call a witness?"
51076In the meantime, you would n''t care to tell us, I suppose, what you have in that small parcel you are holding so carefully?"
51076Is anyone going to try to do it to me, I should like to know?
51076Is it a crime, here in England, then, to offer jewels for sale?"
51076Is it not the first principle of a lawyer to hold sacred whatever confidence his client may confide in him?"
51076Is it worth your while to put yourself right with the authorities and with me, or is n''t it?
51076Is n''t that exactly what I came to you for?
51076Is supper ready?"
51076Is that an English game?
51076Is that bundle you''re carrying a woman, or ai n''t it?"
51076It belongs to----""To whom?"
51076It is n''t necessary, I suppose, to tell you that there are a couple more men in the corridor?"
51076It is so?"
51076It was a trap, Harvey, do you hear?
51076It''s part of your job, ai n''t it?
51076It''s worth a shilling, Rosa, eh?"
51076Just where have you spent those nine days?"
51076Know anything about me?"
51076Know who he is?"
51076Letchowiski?"
51076Levy, eh?"
51076Like to keep yourself private down here, do n''t you?"
51076Lovejoy,''I say in my best manner,''I believe I had the pleasure of meeting you at my aunt''s, Lady Sittingley''s?''
51076Madame deserves to have recovered her necklace-- and it becomes her well.... Shall we take our coffee outside?"
51076My alibi was pretty successful, eh?"
51076Now that all is well, shall we visit the little lady down in the American Bar?
51076One could hide somewhere in a quiet country place and live like gentlefolk?"
51076One could live comfortably on that?
51076Or I say, have you anything you''d like to hand over to me?
51076Rodd?"
51076Rodd?"
51076Rodd?"
51076Rodd?"
51076See that window-- the end one but three on the top storey but two?"
51076See you round at the Milan about cocktail time, Harvey, eh?"
51076Shall I tell the man to go to the Milan?"
51076She is Jerry Sands''sister and they''re off together somewhere, for certain.... What''s that?
51076Some day you give me a ring, eh, and I wear it-- which finger you like me to wear it on?"
51076Such affairs of business as have fallen to your lot have been conducted with-- er-- discretion?"
51076Supposing it was a divorce I wanted, I should have to go to a lawyer, should n''t I?
51076Tell me the truth?
51076Tell me what flat that man asked for who has just gone in?"
51076Tell me you are sure that I am safe?"
51076Tell me, then-- bring me an idea from the practical world-- how shall I make ten thousand people buy a copy of my poems?"
51076Tell me,"she went on, a little abruptly,"what do they look for, these men?
51076That''s fair do''s, is n''t it?
51076That''s the last call--''Heave to at once or''----""Or what?"
51076The fears for you and about you----""Well, what are they?"
51076The people began frantically to enquire who was Stephen Cresswell, where were his poems to be obtained?
51076The point is, are you willing to deal with me?"
51076The police, do you hear?"
51076The stone he rolled out in front of the expert they had waiting down at Scotland Yard was----""Was what?"
51076The thing is, are you coming quietly?"
51076The young lady is going to pay you a visit?"
51076There was but one question--''Have you read the poems of Stephen Cresswell?''
51076Things have been a bit better with you lately, though, have n''t they?"
51076Twenty?"
51076Was n''t it Madame de Borria''s necklace, then?"
51076Well, ca n''t you give me an idea what he is up to, then?"
51076Well, why not?
51076What I want to know is where?"
51076What about it, eh?"
51076What about you?"
51076What do you say to that, my friend?"
51076What do you say?
51076What do you----what do the police want with me in my room?"
51076What is it you do in that back room, eh?"
51076Whatever is Mr. Cresswell going to do?
51076When are you prepared to deal with the first parcel of stones?"
51076When might one visit you, monsieur?
51076Where are we going?"
51076Where are you?
51076Where do I sit?"
51076Where do you think I hid them?"
51076Where is Aaron, I wonder?"
51076Where was your grandfather?"
51076Where?"
51076Which stone shall mademoiselle wear when she sings her next song?"
51076Who''s he?"
51076Why do n''t you take your grandfather somewhere away into the country?
51076Why not try a cigarette, Aaron?
51076Why should we not take a little of the risk?
51076Will you be content, please?"
51076Will you hear them first or wait till you have had a cocktail?"
51076Will you hurry, Aaron?
51076Will you please have the chain mended and wear it?"
51076Will you take it on?"
51076Will you tell me, please, who lent you the diamond which you wear?"
51076You agree?
51076You are Mr. Cresswell, are n''t you, the poet?
51076You are a writer, perhaps?"
51076You could not----?"
51076You did n''t mind?"
51076You do n''t expect anything to happen to you so long as you grub away there, do you?"
51076You do n''t expect me to eat this, do you?"
51076You gentlemen, I believe, are what is generally known as_ chevaliers d''Industrie_?"
51076You have really brought me that book?
51076You have seen it?"
51076You have to do now with criminals-- or may I say adventurers?
51076You hear me?
51076You hear?
51076You heard the particulars, I suppose?"
51076You mean by that thieves?"
51076You never tumbled to it yet, guv''nor, did you, what my new line of business was?"
51076You remember me now, without a doubt?"
51076You saw a sleek, podgy, bulky, fat- faced looking man, with hair brushed back, who spoke to me in the hall at the Milan?"
51076You saw her speak to me?"
51076You told me to keep my eyes open, if ever I should see any more of Mr. Levy, eh?"
51076You tumble?
51076You will buy this volume of poems for eightpence, or----""Or what?"
51076You will have some tea, Mr. Cresswell?
51076You will make an exception, please, this once?"
51076You will not mind waiting?"
51076You would n''t have me marry any of those skimpers that come around here?"
51076You''ve no one else?"
51076Young shentleman, you want a real diamond ring?
51076Your wife ai n''t here with you, is she?"
51076he asked, as he shook hands and exchanged greetings with everybody,"or have I, in my country seclusion, missed a scrap?"
51076he continued diffidently--"one of those he has not yet tried to have recut?"
51076he enquired quickly--"anything fresh, I mean?"
51076it is Mr. Rodd, is it not-- the gentleman with whom I spoke in the Gardens this morning-- the lawyer?"
31681A bird?
31681A clue to what?
31681A detective on the spot in a case like this is valuable; are you willing to assume the duties of your profession and act for justice in this matter?
31681A diamond ring?
31681A revelation?
31681A situation at what?
31681A strong corroborative fact, if true?
31681A will? 31681 Ah, and at what time did you see him yesterday?"
31681Ah, he held you fascinated, did he?
31681Ah, the train was at the station, then?
31681Ah, then you did not suspect that she was his wife?
31681Ah, then, you see no objection to my trying for the scent, if the coroner persists in demanding it?
31681Ah, you have been looking for it?
31681Ah, you rode, then, part of the way? 31681 Am I killing_ you_?"
31681Amounts to nothing as evidence?
31681An enemy? 31681 An enemy?"
31681And Gouverneur Hildreth? 31681 And Miss Dare is guilty?"
31681And Miss Dare too?
31681And Miss Dare?
31681And Miss Dare?
31681And Orcutt-- when did he first put in an appearance here?
31681And a tramp did all this?
31681And acknowledged it in the conversation he had with you?
31681And be hung for her crime?
31681And came yesterday? 31681 And can tell when he came back?"
31681And did Mr. Orcutt do that?
31681And did Mr. Orcutt know?
31681And did he ask no questions?
31681And did he carry a peculiarly shaped bag, of which he was very careful?
31681And did he leave then?
31681And did he never acknowledge it?
31681And did he tell you how he hoped and intended to make a success?
31681And did this mean you had no acquaintance with the murdered woman at that time?
31681And did you answer them?
31681And did you ask her nothing more? 31681 And did you keep up your pace when you got to the highroad?"
31681And did you meet no one in the lane, or see no one at the windows of any of the houses as you came by?
31681And did you not see him again?
31681And do you believe it?
31681And do you expect me to believe you regard this as a groundwork for suspicion? 31681 And do you mean to say you have n''t told any one that an unknown man had been at your house on the morning of the murder inquiring after the widow?"
31681And do you really wish to help me?
31681And do you think there can be any doubt about which of these two it will be?
31681And do_ you_ cherish but passing gleams?
31681And dropped that ring there?
31681And engaged in athletic sports?
31681And fourthly?
31681And from whom?
31681And have you collected such evidence?
31681And have you no curiosity to find out?
31681And he acknowledged himself to have been the humpback?
31681And he afterward visited her house?
31681And he is a gentleman, you say?
31681And he left it lying where it fell?
31681And he? 31681 And he?"
31681And how came it to be on the floor if Mr. Orcutt put it on his finger?
31681And how long did you ride behind them?
31681And how long do you think it took you to go over that especial portion of ground?
31681And how long is it since you supported yourself in this way?
31681And how,asked he,"can a person pass from Sibley Station to the door of my aunt''s house without going through the streets?"
31681And if he is cleared?
31681And in those places where you could not run, did you proceed as fast as you knew how?
31681And is it your intention to save your client from the gallows by putting the halter around the neck of the man you now propose to call as a witness?
31681And is that all? 31681 And it remained there?"
31681And it was five minutes before noon?
31681And know, perhaps, who that hunchback was?
31681And looked at you?
31681And may I ask,Craik Mansell quietly said,"what reason you can have for such a supposition?
31681And may I ask,said he,"what has happened to make you believe she was not struck at the moment hitherto supposed?"
31681And now, what next?
31681And now,said Dr. Tredwell,"what sort of a man is this Clement Smith?"
31681And quite a lawyer too?
31681And raised her voice?
31681And she replied?
31681And she?
31681And that famous detective was actually on the spot at the time this murder was discovered, and you let him go without warning me of his presence?
31681And that is?
31681And that makes you cheerful?
31681And the Hildreths? 31681 And the girl''s notions about where Miss Dare had gone?"
31681And the revelation you have received?
31681And the widow?
31681And they have put him in prison?
31681And this nephew, where does he live?
31681And this?
31681And was Miss Darling with her that morning? 31681 And was it a real marriage?"
31681And was not that the language of his own countenance as he lay dying?
31681And what answer did he give you?
31681And what answer had he for this?
31681And what did I say, Miss Dare?
31681And what did the prisoner say when you gave utterance to this wish?
31681And what did you answer?
31681And what did you discover from her, Hickory?
31681And what did you reply?
31681And what did you reply?
31681And what did you say when you took it off?
31681And what did you say?
31681And what else did they see? 31681 And what is that?"
31681And what makes you think it is the tramp who is the guilty one in this case? 31681 And what pace do you take when you are tired?"
31681And what reason did he give for this?
31681And what time did she say it was?
31681And what was it she saw going on in the town at that especial time?
31681And what was it,broke in the coroner,"that led you to register yourself at the hotel under a false name?"
31681And what was that sentence?
31681And what, if you had succeeded in this, sir? 31681 And when he inquired:''Why to- morrow?''
31681And when was that, if you please?
31681And when was this suggestion given?
31681And when you got to the river?
31681And where did you go then?
31681And where?
31681And who else should it be?
31681And who knows but what such reasons may yet present themselves?
31681And why is his name not on the book at that time if he came to your house and put up?
31681And why should you have any special fears of breaking your neck?
31681And why, may I ask? 31681 And why, may I ask?"
31681And why?
31681And why?
31681And with that fact added to all the rest you have against me, you say you believe me innocent?
31681And yet was in Professor Darling''s observatory, a mile or so away?
31681And yet was on his arm?
31681And you can tell us how the interview terminated?
31681And you did not make it even with that advantage?
31681And you did not see it again till you found it on the floor of Mrs. Clemmens''dining- room the morning of the murder?
31681And you forsake Craik Mansell, in the hour of his extremity?
31681And you had a conversation with him?
31681And you ran there?
31681And you want to be here if she goes out?
31681And you were looking at him-- actually looking at him-- that very moment through a telescope perched a mile or so away?
31681And you were surprised?
31681And you will help me?
31681And you will take him my message also?
31681And you?
31681And--her voice was so husky he could but with difficulty distinguish her words--"do you intend to recall me to the stand to- morrow?"
31681And, may I ask, what has caused this sudden regret?
31681And, now, what did you learn in Buffalo?
31681And, supposing you had had a horse?
31681And-- and was Miss Dare hurt?
31681And-- excuse me again, Miss Dare-- did he propose marriage to you?
31681And-- pardon me if I go too far-- were you also there the morning she was murdered?
31681Any news this morning?
31681Any other reason?
31681Any thing important?
31681Are my strange, wild ways driving_ you_ to despair? 31681 Are these_ all_ the facts you have to give me?"
31681Are we going to join hands over this business?
31681Are we to go on with the prosecution or are we to stop? 31681 Are you going to answer?"
31681Are you married or single?
31681Are you sure,he inquired in a slow, ironical tone,"that she has not succeeded in making it stronger?"
31681Are you sure?
31681Are you sure?
31681Are you thinking of Miss Dare as having any thing to do with this shocking affair?
31681Are you threatened?
31681Are you_ sure_?
31681At Professor Darling''s house?
31681Bag?
31681Beginning to think?
31681But Miss Dare-- her feelings and her convictions, as manifested by the words she made use of in the hut?
31681But ca n''t you, if you try? 31681 But can you positively say he did not make the first motion to leave?"
31681But does any one know it did not?
31681But have no facts been obtained, no conclusions reached, that would serve to awaken suspicion or put justice on the right track?
31681But is it true? 31681 But the girl-- the man-- didn''t you see them again before you left?"
31681But the prosecution has closed its case?
31681But the ring was not yours?
31681But these terrors of which she speaks? 31681 But what do you mean when you say that you changed it at the moment you turned to come back to the side door?
31681But who will sacrifice himself for a man who could let the trial of one he knew to be innocent go on unhindered?
31681But you can tell me the name of the town in which this hotel was, can you not?
31681But you knew he was going?
31681But you must first tell me in what room you were when you received this intimation of Miss Dare''s presence?
31681But you thought you heard her,he cried;"her voice, or her laugh, or perhaps merely the rustle of her dress in another room?"
31681But your grief and terror, Imogene? 31681 But,"hurriedly interposed Byrd,"you do n''t give any credit to her story now, even if you did before the prisoner spoke?
31681But,persisted Mr. Ferris,"his leaving the house, as he acknowledges he did, by this unfrequented and circuitous road?"
31681Byrd,said he,"whom were you looking at during the time Mr. Orcutt was making his speech?"
31681Can it be possible,asked he,"that any thing new could have transpired since last night to give encouragement to the prosecution?"
31681Can not you give us his words?
31681Can not you imagine?
31681Can not you tell me what you did with the ring after you left Miss Dare? 31681 Can not you wait a minute?
31681Can you blame me for that?
31681Can you remember any words that he used which would tend to show the condition of his mind?
31681Convinced? 31681 Could you see all this where it was lying on the floor?"
31681Craik Mansell? 31681 Craik, are you guiltless, then?"
31681Did Miss Dare tell you she saw me trip after I jumped the fence?
31681Did Mr. Orcutt say that?
31681Did he also tell you what path he had taken to his aunt''s house?
31681Did he have a very bright blue eye and a high color?
31681Did he know you were coming?
31681Did he look at you a few minutes before speaking, or in any way conduct himself as if he had been set thinking?
31681Did he not know you were going to make it?
31681Did he offer you such a gift then?
31681Did he say--it was Mr. Byrd now who lost a trifle of his fluency--"what sort of voices he heard?"
31681Did he wish such an amount?
31681Did it strike you at the time that he reflected on what you said?
31681Did n''t he go to the funeral?
31681Did n''t you think more than that, sir? 31681 Did not the counsel for the prosecution order you to make this attempt?"
31681Did she do that?
31681Did the prisoner accompany you?
31681Did they go faster than a man could run?
31681Did this man overhear my words that day?
31681Did you accept him?
31681Did you allow him to put it on your finger?
31681Did you approach the widow''s house by the road and enter into it by means of the front door overlooking the lane?
31681Did you buy a ticket at the office?
31681Did you ever win in running such a race?
31681Did you hear that?
31681Did you know Gouverneur Hildreth or not?
31681Did you know this gentleman has already been in custody upon suspicion of having committed the crime for which the prisoner is now being tried?
31681Did you know_ this_?
31681Did you make these three runs from Mrs. Clemmens''house to Monteith Quarry Station entirely on foot?
31681Did you meet any one on the road during any of these three runs which you made?
31681Did you not pause long enough to see if you could not cross the stream in some way?
31681Did you put the question to him?
31681Did you receive any letters from the prisoner after your return to Sibley?
31681Did you receive it?
31681Did you refuse him?
31681Did you run when you could?
31681Did you say that in passing over the highway you ran?
31681Did you say, in Mrs. Clemmens''house?
31681Did you tell any one but your friend that you were going to undertake this run?
31681Do I understand you?
31681Do many persons besides the quarrymen take the train at this place?
31681Do n''t you know?
31681Do n''t you think,he asked,"that he may have gone to New York to consult with some one about this pet hobby of his?
31681Do not you believe in a God?
31681Do you doubt my word?
31681Do you intend to allow me to return to Buffalo?
31681Do you know any thing against Miss Dare which other folks do not? 31681 Do you know in what time they made it?"
31681Do you know this young man?
31681Do you know what he was doing when this occurred?
31681Do you know, Byrd,he remarked in another moment,"that it strikes me Mansell did not take this roundabout road to the station?"
31681Do you love him so madly you would sell yourself for his sake?
31681Do you make pictures for papers?
31681Do you mean to kill yourself?
31681Do you not already know?
31681Do you not hear me?
31681Do you really think so?
31681Do you remember, then, the day?
31681Do you see that clock? 31681 Do you suppose he heard the widow scream?"
31681Do you think I have lost my reason, Imogene, that you put me such a question as that? 31681 Do you think she was in the glade back of Widow Clemmens''house?"
31681Do you think this catastrophe was necessary to draw my attention to Mr. Orcutt? 31681 Do you want it?"
31681Do you want to hear?
31681Do you wish any thing, Miss Dare?
31681Do you wish to return home?
31681Does Mr. Orcutt enjoy the universal respect of the town?
31681Does he never talk?
31681Does he? 31681 Does it not strike you that there are rather more persons present than are necessary for the purposes of justice?"
31681Does my learned friend suppose the court will receive any such ambiguous explanation as this? 31681 Does she say that?"
31681Doubts as to his integrity, good- heartedness, or desire to serve you?
31681Doubts?
31681Excuse me, madam, but is this yours?
31681FEBRUARY 13, 1873.--What shall I cook for him to- day? 31681 FEBRUARY 24, 1868.--Can I stand it?
31681FEBRUARY 6, 1880.--Oh, he has been riding with a lady, has he? 31681 Facing you?"
31681Ferris means to fight, but what of that? 31681 Ferris, is Miss Dare amongst them?"
31681First?
31681Gentlemen,said he,"do you forget that Mr. Orcutt was on the scene of murder some minutes before the rest of you arrived?
31681Go on,said he,"what else did you hear?"
31681Gouverneur Hildreth?
31681Guess you''re kept for the fancy business, eh?
31681HELEN?
31681Had he no reason to expect to meet you there?
31681Had no communication passed between you from the time you parted in the woods till you came upon each other in the depôt you have just mentioned?
31681Had she no intimates, no relatives?
31681Had you ever run before or engaged in athletic sports of any kind?
31681Has he not a machine at present which he desires to bring to the notice of some capitalist?
31681Has it not struck you,he insinuated,"that Mr. Orcutt might have other reasons for not wishing to give any expression of opinion in regard to it?"
31681Has my esteemed friend any testimony on hand to prove that the prisoner had a horse at this place? 31681 Have I conducted his case as if I believed him guilty?"
31681Have they found the murderer, do you think? 31681 Have you a liking for the place, or do you meditate any lengthy stay?"
31681Have you any thing more to show me?
31681Have you got through?
31681Have you noticed,the other broke forth, after another puff,"a certain curious air of disdain that he wears?"
31681Have you questioned the tramp, or in any way received from him an intimation of the reason why he did not go into the house after he came to it?
31681Have you telegraphed to New York?
31681Have you, madam?
31681Have your convictions been shaken by Hickory''s ingenious theory?
31681He told you that?
31681He was reserved, then, in his manners, uncommunicative, possibly morose?
31681He was? 31681 He?
31681Helen,she cried,"what do you know of earthly anguish?
31681Her big envelope?
31681Hickory, do n''t_ you_ know-- haven''t you been told what she is expected to say or do here to- day?
31681Hickory, do you mean to say you_ will_ make this run?
31681Hickory, where have you been ever since last night? 31681 Hickory,"--Byrd''s face had quite altered now--"where do you think Miss Dare was at that time?"
31681Hickory,Byrd at last demanded,"what do you propose to do with your conclusions?"
31681Hickory,he asked,"why do you think Mansell, rather than Hildreth, committed this crime?"
31681Hickory,he whispered,"what do you think of this objection which Mr. Ferris makes?"
31681Hickory,said he,"have you ever discovered in the course of your inquiries where Miss Dare was on the morning of the murder?"
31681His love for Miss Dare? 31681 His_ wife_?"
31681How account for her seeing that little incident, then, of your stumbling?
31681How are you related to Mrs. Clemmens, the lady who was found murdered here two days ago?
31681How came she to be here?
31681How came she to go to Nebraska then?
31681How came you to be in Syracuse the day after the murder?
31681How came you to do that?
31681How came you to know it?
31681How did he get there? 31681 How did he speak of them?"
31681How did you hear about what took place in the court- room to- day?
31681How did you hear of it?
31681How did you know, then, that he was there? 31681 How do I know?"
31681How do I know?
31681How do you know I fled from it abruptly?
31681How do you know as he came to this house at all?
31681How do you know that?
31681How do you know that?
31681How do you know that?
31681How do you know,he quickly asked,"that I carried away a diamond ring from the tryst you speak of?"
31681How if it were a diamond ring?
31681How long did you keep it there?
31681How should I know?
31681How should I? 31681 How situated?"
31681How to her own advantage?
31681How was the lady dressed?
31681How, when, where?
31681How? 31681 How?
31681How? 31681 How?"
31681How?
31681I am sure my learned friend would not wish me to associate_ him_ with any such type of inexperience?
31681I did?
31681I do not understand,she murmured;"what question?"
31681I grant the mental confusion,said he;"but why should she confuse those two names in preference to all others?"
31681I in the street?
31681I know any thing?
31681I thought you were satisfied in that regard before?
31681I thought your cousin spent her childhood in Toledo?
31681I wonder what it means?
31681I, sir?
31681I?
31681I?
31681I?
31681If I am to approach him as a lawyer willing to undertake his cause, do n''t you see I can give him no such message as that?
31681If you were on his jury, I suppose your bias in his favor would lead you to acquit him of this crime?
31681Imogene Dare?
31681Imogene, Imogene, would you drive me mad?
31681Imogene,he cried, as she reached him,"what is the meaning of this?
31681Imogene,he said,"what could have induced you to resort to an expedient so dreadful?
31681Imogene,she pleaded,--"Imogene, what is this terrible grief?
31681Imogene?
31681In other words, you could have saved three minutes if you had been furnished with a horse at that particular spot?
31681In other words, you were afraid?
31681In this town?
31681In what room was the conversation held, and by what door did you come in and go out?
31681Indeed?
31681Is Miss Dare in?
31681Is Mr. Orcutt in?
31681Is it necessary?
31681Is it possible you question my truth at a time like this?
31681Is it? 31681 Is n''t_ this_ pleasant?"
31681Is not this my home?
31681Is that your cry-- always and forever your cry? 31681 Is the pencil now to be found in the pocket of Mr. Mansell a blue one?"
31681Is there any name written on the outside?
31681Is there any thing you ought to tell me?
31681Is there no hope?
31681Is there not?
31681Is this Hickory a man of good judgment?
31681Is this so?
31681It has been proved then?
31681It is, then, a question of veracity between you and Miss Dare?
31681It was in his possession, then,he continued,"when you left him on that day and returned to your home?"
31681It was not locked to- day-- saw the room, which is a curious one-- glanced out over the view, which is well worth seeing, and then----"Well, what?
31681It would----"What?
31681JUNE 10, 1872.--What''s the use of having a home? 31681 JUNE 17, 1876.--Why was n''t I made handsome and fine and nice?
31681JUNE 7, 1873.--Would he send for me if he was dying? 31681 Killing me?"
31681MISS FIRMAN, I believe?
31681MR. ORCUTT dead?
31681Madwoman,he cried,"where will your ravings end?
31681Mansell?
31681May I ask where you received your information?
31681May I ask where?
31681May I ask,that individual dryly interrogated,"why you came back to Sibley, after having left it?"
31681Meanwhile, have you any objections to answering a few questions I would like to put to you?
31681Men will do the same; then why not Mansell?
31681Miss Dare there, in Mr. Orcutt''s house?
31681Miss Dare--the District Attorney''s voice was very earnest--"can you tell us which of you made the first movement to go?"
31681Miss Dare, did the prisoner express to you at this time irritation as well as regret at the result of his efforts to elicit money from his aunt?
31681Miss Dare, did you express any anger yourself at the refusal of Mrs. Clemmens to assist the prisoner by lending him such moneys as he required?
31681Miss Dare, had you been in the street long? 31681 Miss Dare, have you ever seen that ring since?"
31681Miss Dare, may I now ask what reasons you gave the prisoner for declining his offer-- that is, if my friend does not object to the question?
31681Miss Dare, was this ring really yours, or were you misled by its appearance into merely thinking it your property? 31681 Miss Dare, were these letters written by you?"
31681Miss Dare, were you present in the house when the dying woman spoke the one or two exclamations which have been testified to in this trial?
31681Miss Dare, what did you mean by those words?
31681Miss Dare, what did you say to the gentleman who showed you the ring and asked if it were yours?
31681Miss Dare, will you tell us what pocket this was?
31681Miss Dare, will you tell us what you did when you first saw this ring lying on the floor?
31681Miss Dare, will you tell us when you left Buffalo?
31681Miss Dare, you will excuse me, but it is highly desirable for the court to know if the prisoner ever paid his addresses to you?
31681Miss Dare,continued the Prosecuting Attorney,"did you see this ring again during the interview?"
31681Miss Dare,he asked,"how long did you keep that ring on your finger after you left the house?"
31681Miss Dare,he inquired,"in declining the proposals of the prisoner, did you state to him in so many words these objections you have here mentioned?"
31681Miss Dare,said he, in his slow, kindly way that nothing could impair,"do you realize the nature of the evidence you have given to the court?"
31681Miss Dare,said he,"will you look at the prisoner and tell us if you have any acquaintance with him?"
31681Miss Dare,suggested the detective,"could n''t you tell him this much better yourself?"
31681Miss Dare,ventured Mr. Ferris, after a moment,"you say this was five minutes to twelve?"
31681Miss Dare? 31681 Miss Dare?"
31681Mocking you? 31681 More than she evinced to- day in her testimony?"
31681Mr. Ferris,said he,"when you went to see Miss Dare the other day, what did you think of her state of mind?"
31681Mr. Hickory, have you ever run in a race with men of well- known reputation for speed?
31681Mr. Hickory, were you present in the court- room just now when the two experts whom I have employed to make the run gave their testimony?
31681Mr. Hickory, will you now state whether you put forth your full speed to- day in going from Mrs. Clemmens''house to the Quarry Station?
31681Mr. Hickory,inquired the lawyer, severely,"are you in possession of any knowledge proving that he did?"
31681Mr. Hildreth,intimated the coroner, rising,"will you be kind enough to step with me into the adjoining room?"
31681Mr. Mansell,he inquired,"have you no curiosity to know any details of the accident by which you have unexpectedly been deprived of a counsel?"
31681Mr. Mansell,said he,"are you prepared to submit with composure to the ordeal of confronting Miss Dare?"
31681Mr. Mansell? 31681 Mr. Orcutt is dead?"
31681Mr. Orcutt,she demanded,"do_ you_ believe Craik Mansell innocent?"
31681Must I go into the house in order to find out if this good woman is dead or not?
31681My secret thought? 31681 Never?"
31681News,she repeated,"no; is there any news?"
31681No concern?
31681No more?
31681No one else?
31681No,he murmured,"no; but what led you to her home?
31681No; I have told Mr. Ferris; is not that enough?
31681No?
31681No?
31681No?
31681No?
31681No?
31681Nor come, as I supposed he did, to Sibley? 31681 Nor know that such a letter had been sent?"
31681Not Sally Perkins?
31681Not any thing?
31681Not even now?
31681Now at the hotel?
31681Now, did you see her standing there?
31681Now, how many windows has the dining- room?
31681Now,he cried,"what have you to say?"
31681Oh, is this----"A corner from the Buffalo_ Courier_? 31681 Oh, you did; and do you think it was fair to him to steal a ride on the highway?"
31681One never knows what they are going to run upon in a chase of this kind, do they, sir?
31681Or that he did not return in the same way?
31681Out West? 31681 Perhaps the name is not familiar?"
31681Perjury?
31681Pratt? 31681 Proof in rebuttal?
31681Rather gained some?
31681Remember leaping the fence and stumbling a trifle when you came down?
31681Shall I show you?
31681Shall I tell her you have been here?
31681Shall I tell you?
31681Shall I tell you?
31681Shall we join your friends?
31681She came from Nebraska, and so did he; now, why may they not have known each other there?
31681She had money, then?
31681She has never talked about him then?
31681She is a relative of the injured woman, or a friend, perhaps?
31681She said:''Was it Clemmens or was it Orcutt? 31681 She?"
31681Sir, who are you?
31681Sir?
31681Smith?--Smith?
31681So Mr. Ferris was struck with the point you gave him?
31681So that by taking this wagon you are certain you lost no time?
31681So that, as far as you know, it was still in his pocket when you parted?
31681So then you do not know?
31681So then,observed the other, with a stern dryness that recalled his manner at the bar,"she opened a communication with you herself?"
31681So this is the alternative you give me?
31681So you still think it is the tramp that struck her?
31681So, then, it was curiosity that brought you to the inquest to- day?
31681Something in it?
31681Stephen Orcutt? 31681 Stood all the time, and in that room to which you have just pointed?"
31681Strange that, in a town like this, no one should know where it came from?
31681Such as Gouverneur Hildreth?
31681Sure?
31681Tell you?
31681That is your joint opinion?
31681That surprised you?
31681The day of the murder?
31681The girl said this?
31681The man himself?
31681The name of this gentleman and his place of residence?
31681The name?
31681The prisoner?
31681The question is, then, in what will it lie? 31681 The whole distance?"
31681The_ same_ place?
31681Then Mr. Mansell did not send me the letter inviting me to meet him in the hut on a certain day, some few weeks after Mrs. Clemmens was murdered?
31681Then am I to understand you are satisfied with the answer you have received?
31681Then it is a bargain?
31681Then the diamond ring was really hers?
31681Then the evidence you desire to submit is not in rebuttal?
31681Then there is no hope?
31681Then why do you tell me this?
31681Then you do not favor his arrest?
31681Then you propose making what has occurred here public?
31681Then you still believe you can find such a motive?
31681Then you think Miss Dare spoke falsely?
31681Then you will tell me what you heard?
31681There is none, then, which looks down to that place where you leaped the fence?
31681There were no neighbors to betray you?
31681There,he cried,"who says extraordinary measures are not useful at times?
31681Think so? 31681 Think so?"
31681Tired?
31681To Buffalo?
31681To myself?
31681To what do I owe this intrusion?
31681To you?
31681Too quiet, eh?
31681Took it without stopping anywhere on the way?
31681Upon what sort of terms did you part?
31681Upon what terms have you always lived, and what can you tell us of her other relatives and connections?
31681Very good, sir,he cried;"but, first, if you do n''t mind, suppose you tell me what brought_ you_ to this hut to- day?"
31681Very well, then, you are in a position to tell us something of her history, and why it is she kept herself so close after she came to this town?
31681Very well,he rejoined,"did the prisoner have any thing to say about his prospects?"
31681Very well; now tell me how could Miss Dare see you do that from Mrs. Clemmens''house?
31681WELL, and what have you to say?
31681WOULD there be any indiscretion in my asking who that young lady is?
31681Was it an occasion of regret to her? 31681 Was she such a woman?"
31681Was that before you recognized it?
31681Was that necessary?
31681Was there any thing said by him to show he did not take the secret path through the woods and across the bog to her back door?
31681We understand that,remarked the Prosecuting Attorney, kindly, and then inquired:"Was this the last you saw of the prisoner until to- day?"
31681We were just parting, and I had turned to go, when he said:''Is it good- by, then, Imogene?'' 31681 Well, Byrd, what do you think of him?"
31681Well, Byrd?
31681Well, Hickory?
31681Well, and what passed between you then?
31681Well, sir,said Mr. Ferris,"are you willing to tell me where you were when you first heard of the assault which had been made upon your aunt?"
31681Well, then, can you tell us whether or not he looked thoughtful when you said this?
31681Well, then, what did he have to say about this one? 31681 Well,"said he, facing the District Attorney with cheerful vivacity,"any orders?"
31681Well,the fierce looks of the other seemed to say,"and what if it was?"
31681Were they riding or walking?
31681Were you in the street, or anywhere out- of- doors at the time the murder occurred? 31681 Were you watching him?
31681What are we going to do now?
31681What can you tell us of his nature and disposition, as well as of his regard for the woman who proposed to benefit him so materially by her will?
31681What caused you to move at last?
31681What did I tell you? 31681 What did he say or do to surprise you?"
31681What did you do with it then?
31681What did you say? 31681 What do you intend to do?"
31681What do you know of my thoughts or my beliefs? 31681 What do you mean by that remark?"
31681What do you mean, Hickory? 31681 What do you mean?"
31681What do you mean?
31681What do you say?
31681What do you think of Orcutt?
31681What do you think of the case so far?
31681What do you want with me?
31681What does he mean by that?
31681What does it all mean?
31681What does your opinion amount to if you have n''t heard the evidence against her?
31681What else am I here for?
31681What has produced the change?
31681What has that to do with it?
31681What has_ she_ to do with it?
31681What have they been doing all the morning?
31681What have you done? 31681 What is it you wish to know?"
31681What is it, Imogene?
31681What is it? 31681 What is that answer to be, Yes or No?"
31681What made you think it was this ring which you had returned to the prisoner the day before?
31681What makes you think Miss Dare will be called to the witness stand to- morrow?
31681What makes you think that?
31681What motive could any one have for killing such an inoffensive woman? 31681 What noise is that?
31681What other man stands accused of having murdered Widow Clemmens? 31681 What other?"
31681What purpose had you in going to Buffalo?
31681What should I know? 31681 What surprised you?"
31681What was he like; young or old?
31681What was it?
31681What was that?
31681What was the burden of the first speech you heard?
31681What were they?
31681What, then, is yours?
31681What?
31681What?
31681What?
31681What?
31681When and where?
31681When did Miss Dare come to the house on the morning Mrs. Clemmens was murdered, and what did she do while there?
31681When did it happen?
31681When did you see him again?
31681When you parted with the prisoner in the woods, was it with any arrangement for meeting again before he returned to Buffalo?
31681When?
31681When?
31681Where did he come from-- have you learned?
31681Where did you find these?
31681Where did you go?
31681Where do I think she was?
31681Where do you live?
31681Where was the poor woman hit?
31681Where were you born?
31681Where were you when the clock struck twelve on the day Mrs. Clemmens was murdered?
31681Where were you when you took it off?
31681Where?
31681Where?
31681Which leaves precisely five minutes after twelve?
31681Which means you agree with Hickory?
31681Which of you, then, took it off?
31681While we are in court?
31681Who could have practised such deception upon you?
31681Who did know it?
31681Who is it?
31681Who knows Miss Tremaine?
31681Who was he?
31681Who was that horrid crone I saw shouldering herself through the crowd that collected around the gate yesterday?
31681Who, then, do you think wrote this?
31681Who? 31681 Who?"
31681Whom were_ you_ looking at?
31681Whom, then?
31681Whose house?
31681Whose name?
31681Why after nine?
31681Why did you do this? 31681 Why did you not go farther?"
31681Why did your mother put her hand under her pillow?
31681Why do n''t some one answer me?
31681Why do you ask me about Mr. Orcutt? 31681 Why do_ you_ think him innocent?"
31681Why painful?
31681Why were you so long silent about the ring? 31681 Why?
31681Why?
31681Why?
31681Why?
31681Why?
31681Will Heaven spare me nothing?
31681Will it be very different then from what it is now? 31681 Will it change your feelings any if I promise to ignore what happened here to- day-- my trick with Miss Dare and what she revealed and all that?
31681Will my learned friend allow the witness to give her answer, instead of assuming what it is to be?
31681Will you be kind enough to say how long you have known him and where it was you first made his acquaintance?
31681Will you tell him?
31681Will you tell me when and where?
31681Wish I had not told it, or wish I had not gone to Professor Darling''s house as you requested?
31681Wit? 31681 With a conscientious effort to prove that Orcutt''s scheme of defence is false?"
31681With what words did you accost each other?
31681With whom do you live?
31681Would I wish to be informed of it?
31681Would it help my cause to say?
31681Would n''t you open it if she were dead?
31681Would you be my wife?
31681Would you--she hesitated, but gathered courage as she met his eye--"would you be willing to go to him with a message from me?"
31681Would you?
31681Yes, he is in great trouble, you know; is the nephew of the woman who was killed a few days ago at Sibley, do n''t you remember? 31681 Yet she left a nice little sum behind her?"
31681Yet you are not positive that this is so, are you?
31681Yet you turned round?
31681You advise us, then, to see what we can make out of his early life out West?
31681You and I no concern? 31681 You are a relative of the Mrs. Clemmens who was so foully murdered in Sibley, are you not?
31681You are going?
31681You are on oath, Miss Dare? 31681 You are then determined upon going to the scaffold, whether or no?"
31681You are willing to do all this?
31681You are, then, convinced that Mr. Hildreth is undeniably the guilty party in this case?
31681You are, then, going to take up this case?
31681You believe Miss Dare loves Craik Mansell?
31681You believe, then, this fact will cost him his life?
31681You can tell us, however, if you held any conversation?
31681You can, then, have no doubts of his ability to prove an_ alibi_?
31681You can? 31681 You could give us information, then, that would affect Miss Dare?"
31681You could!--show me how?
31681You dared to?
31681You deny, then, that you entered the widow''s house on the morning of the murder?
31681You did n''t expect to see me mounting the rostrum in favor of the defence, did you?
31681You did n''t_ see_ her strike the blow?
31681You did not know Mr. Orcutt then?
31681You did not send him out on business of your own, then?
31681You did not?
31681You did? 31681 You did?"
31681You do n''t read the Buffalo_ Courier_?
31681You dropped it into his pocket?
31681You fear, then?
31681You had no difficulty, then?
31681You have been talking to Miss Dare?
31681You have never, then, visited your cousin in Sibley?
31681You have not told me,said he,"why_ you_ believe Craik Mansell to be innocent?"
31681You have, however, no reason to believe he cherished any feelings of animosity toward his benefactress?
31681You have, then, forgotten the diamond I picked up from the floor of Mrs. Clemmens''dining- room on the morning of the murder?
31681You have?
31681You have?
31681You have?
31681You know the lady?
31681You know this man, then-- knew him, perhaps, before the murder of Mrs. Clemmens; knew him, and-- and, perhaps, loved him?
31681You make him out mean- spirited, then, as well as wicked?
31681You mean,said he, with a sharp edge to his tone that passed over her dreary soul unheeded,"that you were lovers?"
31681You must have had some conversation with him, then, about this murder? 31681 You only guess?"
31681You ought never to have asked it?
31681You passed, however, through the lane, and entered the main street by the usual path?
31681You perhaps want some explanation of my conduct, or some assurance that the confession I made before the court to- day was true?
31681You regret, then,he said,"that you tossed my happiness away with a breath of your perjured lips?"
31681You remember all the incidents of that short flight?
31681You remember, then, the hunchback who was so free with his views?
31681You say positively the ring passed from you to him; that you saw it in his hand after it had left yours?
31681You say she is not in her right mind?
31681You see how it was done, do you not?
31681You see this point where you issue from the woods? 31681 You think not?"
31681You think so?
31681You think you can?
31681You took the noon train, then?
31681You will have to know some time, and why not now? 31681 You will have to start from the widow''s door, you know?"
31681You will?
31681You would be apt to notice, then, if a strange gentleman got on board here at any time, would you not?
31681You would rather not put the question to him?
31681You would-- what?
31681You, however, always expect your guests to put their names in your book?
31681You?
31681Your birthplace,pursued the coroner,"and the place of your present residence?"
31681Your full name, madam?
31681Your name, if you please?
31681_ Can I find out?_The hardy detective was out of the door before the last word of this scornful repetition had left his lips.
31681_ Gouverneur Hildreth?_Oh, the sharp surprise, the wailing anguish of her tone!
31681_ If_ I help you?
31681_ Left_ arm?
31681_ Was_ it Clemmens or_ was_ it Orcutt? 31681 ''Shall I stay, then?'' 31681 ''Tis my pet amusement, you see, as off- hand drawing is yours, and is likely to be of as much use to me, eh?
31681''Tis--''tis-- what?"
31681''Were you coming to see me?''
31681''Were you coming to see_ me_?''
31681''Were you coming to see_ me_?''
31681***** Whereon do you look?
31681A secret shared between them?
31681A sweet one, is n''t she?"
31681After the acknowledgments made by the prisoner too?"
31681Ah, this was her mode of greeting, was it?
31681Am I then actually hateful to him?
31681Among the witnesses you have collected against this last suspected party, there are some women, are there not?"
31681And Imogene Dare?
31681And a short but agitated silence followed which Mr. Orcutt broke at last by saying:"Are these all the facts you have to give me?"
31681And did they seem to be friends at that time?"
31681And does she often use his name?"
31681And it has, do n''t you see?
31681And leaning toward her, he said, with a complete change of voice:"You know, I suppose, why Mr. Mansell presumed to think_ you_ guilty of this crime?"
31681And on what day?"
31681And so this Mr. Mansell is her nephew?"
31681And was she still a waitress when she married?"
31681And when he asked:''Why to- morrow?''
31681And without waiting for the witness to recover himself, asked again:"What did the widow say, and with what words did you leave?"
31681And, if she had cause to gather guilt from his manner, had he not as much cause to gather it from hers?
31681And, say she had detected me in my little game, what then?
31681Any special gossip in regard to him?"
31681Are we two nothing but victims of dread and awful circumstances?
31681Are you capable of forgery as well as of other deceptions?"
31681Are you getting tired of the affair?"
31681As for Imogene, who could tell what went on in that determined breast?
31681At all events, he meant to imprint the possible portrait upon his mind in case----in case what?
31681At last Imogene spoke:"How came Mr. Mansell to be_ acquitted_?
31681At what hour was the telegram dated?"
31681At what time was this?"
31681Because that ingenious stranger saw fit to make him such a prominent figure in his suppositions?"
31681Before telling us in what time you did it, will you be kind enough to say what route you took?"
31681Besides, how could she have known about the ring?
31681But I got a jog on my elbow that sent me into the right path,"said he,"as, perhaps, you did too, sir, eh?"
31681But did it fall there?
31681But he did not show his feelings, however, and calmly asked:"And was Mr. Mansell in this town the day before the assault upon his aunt?"
31681But how can I give it or how can you receive it unless there is a complete understanding between us?"
31681But how was he to make her acknowledge it?
31681But in your secret heart you did not, could not, believe he was free from a crime to which he is linked by so many criminating circumstances?"
31681But is it a remembrance, or only a chimera of my own overwrought brain struggling with a subject it will not let drop?
31681But mark his control, will you?
31681But now----""What now?"
31681But she did not say much; she merely rose, and, turning toward me, exclaimed:''No apologies; you are a detective, I suppose?''
31681But that does not hinder me from wishing to help you, and so I ask, in all sincerity, What is it you want me to do for you to- day?"
31681But the glance he dived deep into space seemed to echo that"How?
31681But the responsibilities resting upon me are such----"He did not go on; why should he?
31681But were his suppositions true?
31681But what is the curiosity of the rabble to us?
31681But what opportunity remained for making them weightier?
31681But what strong point?
31681But what way?
31681But why did he fly in that wild way when he left it?
31681But why had she so changed her plans?
31681But you spoke of seeing Miss Dare; how was that?
31681But, perhaps, you are not interested in the murder that has lately taken place in this town?"
31681Byrd, will you believe me when I tell you that we did it without going into the house?"
31681Byrd?"
31681Byrd?"
31681Byrd?"
31681Can I stand it?
31681Can it be he hopes to win Miss Dare by his effort to save his rival?"
31681Can it be that Orcutt has such an attachment for her that he is going to let his rival hang?"
31681Can it be that Tremont has taken it?
31681Can not you speak dear?
31681Can not your mother have some memories connected with his name of which you are ignorant?"
31681Can the entrance of the woods be seen from the position which she declares herself to have occupied?"
31681Can you find out?"
31681Can you tell me whether you know of any other person besides this nephew of hers who is likely to be benefited by Mrs. Clemmens''death?"
31681Clemmens or Orcutt?
31681Clemmens or Orcutt?
31681Clemmens''?"
31681Clemmens?"
31681Clemmens?"
31681Clemmens?"
31681Clemmens?"
31681Clemmens?"
31681Could he have taken the chance to rob me of the only proof I have that we are man and wife?
31681Could he not have come before?
31681Could it be there was any outlet from the refuge she had sought?
31681Could it have been with the purpose of ridding herself of the assiduities of Mr. Duryea?
31681Could n''t he have got there by some shorter cut?"
31681Could you describe his manner as he entered the house; how he opened the gate; or whether he stopped to look about him before going in?"
31681Did any one see me do it?
31681Did he not?
31681Did n''t I say that if you would only trust me all would come right?
31681Did n''t you go at once to the dining- room door from the swamp?"
31681Did n''t you think she believed Mr. Mansell guilty of this crime?"
31681Did she ever express herself as sorry for the position in which she stood toward this family?"
31681Did they study together all the time she was in the house?"
31681Did you find the constable or succeed in laying hands on that scamp of a humpback?"
31681Did you know, sir, that she had an enemy in this town?"
31681Did you not sit down?"
31681Did you say nothing beyond what you have mentioned?
31681Did you see him or talk to him?"
31681Did you speak, sir?"
31681Do I carry my convictions on my sleeve?
31681Do n''t I know?
31681Do n''t you know more about it, Hickory?"
31681Do n''t you remember what he said?"
31681Do n''t you remember what the station- master said about the curious portmanteau the fellow had in his hand when he came to the station?"
31681Do n''t you see how fast I am growing old?
31681Do n''t you see how the dust lies thick upon the books that used to be my solace and delight?
31681Do n''t you see that if he thinks me guilty, he_ must_ be innocent?
31681Do you forget that I am blotted with a stain that can never be effaced?
31681Do you know any thing about his career-- whether he brought a reputation for ability with him, or whether his fame was entirely made in this place?"
31681Do you require any further assurance of my being in the confidence of Mr. Ferris than the fact that I am here, and in full liberty to talk with you?"
31681Do you see that five- barred gate over there?
31681Do you think I am called upon to pursue this matter?"
31681Do you think you could swear to his face if you saw it?"
31681Do you want to know what it is?
31681Do you_ love_ him, Imogene Dare?
31681Does my friend wish to look at them before I offer them in evidence?"
31681Does that mean you have been made a confidante of her troubles, her responsibilities, and her cares?"
31681Fifthly----""Well, fifthly?"
31681First, where was the ring when the lovers parted in the wood the day before the murder?
31681Flinging aside the curtains, he cried impatiently:"Who is there?"
31681Fourthly-- but what is it you wish to say, sir?"
31681Had I not told you I would save this man from his threatened fate?"
31681Had he caught a glimpse of hope, or was he driven to an extremity in his defence that forced him to assert himself?
31681Had she taken advantage of his consideration to escape him?
31681Had you lost confidence in me?
31681Had you not been told that the prisoner was seen to be walking when he came down the road to the station?"
31681Has Craik Mansell, then, been acquitted?"
31681Has his death in any way affected young Mansell''s prospects?"
31681Have n''t I suffered?
31681Have n''t you heard about it?
31681Have you made up your mind to have him arrested for this crime?"
31681Have you no wish or hope remaining of seeing him acquitted of this crime?"
31681He did, or why did he marry me?
31681He gave an opinion, I suppose?"
31681He had scarcely done this, when a short, quick step was heard at the door, and a wide- awake voice called out, cheerily:"Are you alone, sir?"
31681He slowly turned to the prisoner:"Have you any objection to these letters being read?"
31681He then said, with easy assurance:"Your mother does not know that Mr. Orcutt is dead?"
31681He thinks what?"
31681He was the uncle of this man, was n''t he?"
31681He was too nearly concerned in it not to take some interest in the affair?"
31681Her lips, which had opened, closed again, and she did not answer for a moment; then she asked:"How do you know that what I said was not the truth?"
31681Here the court was called to order and Byrd had only opportunity to ask:"Why does she wear a veil?"
31681Hickory?"
31681Hickory?"
31681Hickory?"
31681Hildreth, of course, was one, Mansell might very properly be another, but who was the third?
31681Hildreth?"
31681Hildreth?"
31681Hildreth?"
31681Hildreth?"
31681Hildreth?"
31681Hildreth?"
31681Hope I could gain something on them, but what''s five minutes''gain in an affair like this?
31681How can folks pore so over books?
31681How could a man dream of manufacturing evidence of such a character?
31681How do I know you are innocent?
31681How do you know that?
31681How does it seem to you?"
31681How was he to reach her mind and determine its secrets without alarming her dignity or wounding her heart?
31681I could n''t even learn where he was on that day, or where he had ostensibly gone?
31681I have done it, and the separation has come; why attempt to bridge it?"
31681I hope, sir,"he proceeded, glancing at the District Attorney,"that_ you_ have no doubts as to Miss Dare''s innocence?"
31681I received a letter-- was that written by your hand too?
31681I shall not be absent more than two days, and, in the meantime, you will let me know if any thing important occurs?"
31681I suppose he has told you all about the affair?"
31681If he is kept in the restraint which is so humiliating to him, and if he dies there, it will be murder-- do you hear?
31681If it is, and the date proves to be correct, we wo n''t have much trouble about the little link, will we?"
31681If plunder were wanted, why was not her watch taken from her?
31681If you see him----""If_ I_ see him?"
31681Imogene, Imogene, is any such farce necessary with me?"
31681In his pocket?
31681In payment for the dinner he usually took with her?
31681Is he a wizard, this Orcutt?"
31681Is n''t he away, and is n''t he my boarder, and did n''t I want to know when he was coming home?
31681Is n''t it a triumph?
31681Is n''t it enough that you have destroyed my happiness, that you should seek to sport with my good- sense?
31681Is there any girl he is after?"
31681Is there any thing contradictory in these various statements?
31681Is there no way he could have reached the house from the back, and so have eluded the gaze of the neighbors round about?"
31681Is this chance?
31681It accordingly slipped out; but when?
31681It will help us to understand----""What?"
31681Mansell?"
31681Mansell?"
31681Mansell?"
31681Mansell?"
31681Mansell?"
31681Mansell?"
31681Mansell?"
31681May I ask"--and here Mr. Byrd felt himself subjected to a thorough, if not severe, scrutiny--"why you come to me with inquiries concerning him?"
31681Miss Dare returned?
31681Miss Firman, are you prepared to give your testimony?"
31681Moved by this feeling, she suddenly asked:"Have you lost all interest in your client, Mr. Orcutt?
31681Mr. Ferris surveyed the witness for a moment before saying:"Then you considered it damaging to your lover to have this ring found in that apartment?"
31681Mr. Ferris, will you show me?"
31681Mr. Mansell, you are, of course, aware of the manner of Mr. Orcutt''s death?"
31681Mr. Orcutt thought to be an assassin?
31681Mr. Symonds, have you brought your register for the past week?"
31681Mrs. Clemmens dead?
31681Murder?
31681Murdered and in her own house?"
31681Not replying to this latter insinuation, Mr. Byrd quietly repeated:"You got a jog on your elbow?
31681Now tell me what does that mean?
31681Now what was the next fact known?
31681Now where were the three?
31681Now, do you understand the route?"
31681Now, is there any thing in all_ this_ that is contradictory?
31681Now, were they?
31681Now, what do you mean by duty?
31681Now, what is it you have to say to me?"
31681Now, what made you think so?
31681Now, where did she get that money?
31681Oh, if He only would accept the sacrifice I so willingly offer!--take the life I so little value, and give me in return----""Mansell''s?"
31681On whom are you going to lay your hand in suspicion?
31681Or, what was better, could he not have come after?"
31681Orcutt''s?"
31681Orcutt?"
31681Orcutt?"
31681Orcutt?"
31681Orcutt?"
31681Orcutt?"
31681Orcutt?_""Hush!"
31681Say nothing about the time, Hickory, or-- or inquire where she supposed Miss Dare to have gone?"
31681Sending for Horace Byrd, he said to him:"You were on the court- house steps when Mr. Orcutt left and crossed over to the widow''s house?"
31681Shall I ever be the victim of anybody?
31681Shall it be Emily?
31681Should he turn to the right or left?
31681Silence followed this admission, which Hickory broke at last by observing:"The day that sees_ her_ on the witness stand will be interesting, eh?"
31681So I handicap myself in the same way he did, do you see?"
31681Struck down by some wandering tramp?
31681Suddenly he slapped his thigh and exclaimed:"You might be a lawyer''s clerk now, might n''t you; or, perhaps, a lawyer himself?
31681Swear you have seen this dark thing lying in his soul, or I----""What?"
31681Sympathy for the defence?"
31681Tell a fellow, ca n''t you?"
31681Tell anybody who I am?
31681That it was a coincidence, or an actual result of the hunchback''s words?"
31681That you do bend your eye on vacancy, And with the incorporeal air do hold discourse?
31681The District Attorney started, looked at her with growing interest, and inquired:"Did you recognize this man, Miss Dare?"
31681The Prosecuting Attorney went on without pause:"Miss Dare,"said he,"did you meet the prisoner as you promised?"
31681The door unlocked?
31681The first words he heard were:"How long do you expect to remain in Buffalo, Miss Dare?"
31681The knowledge on her part of some fact in Mr. Orcutt''s past life, which, if revealed, might serve as an impediment to his marriage?
31681The recoil, too-- was it less on his part than hers?
31681The rule of three works both ways, Mr. Byrd, and if she left her home to solve_ her_ doubts, what shall be said of him?
31681Then abruptly:"When did Mrs. Clemmens come to this town?"
31681Then shortly,"What is it you want of me?"
31681Then why should I shrink from acknowledging I was at fault, or hesitate to admit a defeat where so many causes combined to mislead me?"
31681Then, after a minute''s thought, added:"You have seen Gryce since?"
31681Then, as he saw she did not heed, added:"I hope you remember what passed between you two on that day?"
31681Then, in a tone that seemed to come from some far- off world of nightmare, she painfully gasped,"Is he dead?"
31681Then, pointing hastily back to the hut, exclaimed:"So you have entered the woods again at this place?
31681Then, with a casual glance at Mr. Goodman, added:"He is an inventor, I believe?"
31681Then, with a certain intuition of what she was going to say next, inquired:"And what then, Miss Dare?"
31681Then, with a change of voice:"Are you sure you have never heard any thing specially derogatory to this young man, or that Mrs. Clemmens had not?"
31681Then, with a return to his usual tone:"Did you cross the bridge at a run?"
31681Then, with quiet insistence, asked:"Where was Mrs. Clemmens believed to get the money she lived on?"
31681Then, without giving her time for another question, said:"Where did Mrs. Clemmens first make the acquaintance of Mr. Orcutt?
31681Then----""Well, then?"
31681To what and whom would you have attributed them?"
31681Turning aside, so that he should not see the shuddering revolt in her eyes, she mechanically whispered:"And what if I did?
31681Turning upon her with a look in which despair and anger were strangely mingled, he cried:"And me, Imogene-- have you no thought for me?"
31681Very well; what then?"
31681Wait till to- morrow''?"
31681Was it at this time she was interrupted in her letter- writing?
31681Was it because she knew the moment was at hand when their glances would be obliged to meet?
31681Was n''t it in some town out West?"
31681Was n''t there something done by you that day which will assist your memory?"
31681Was she in the house?"
31681Was that his laugh that rang startlingly through the room?
31681Was there any way in which he could have come into possession of it before she did?
31681Was this equally true of your return?"
31681We went up the stairs, entered the observatory----""It is not kept locked, then?"
31681Were you in it at the time the murder happened, do you think?"
31681What about him, sir?"
31681What are they?
31681What called him there?"
31681What can I say more than I have said?
31681What could have transpired?"
31681What did he mean, Helen?"
31681What did it mean?
31681What did this Mansell betray?
31681What direful purpose or shadow of doom lay behind the veil that separated her from the curiosity and perhaps the sympathy of the surrounding crowd?
31681What do all three do, then?
31681What do you mean?"
31681What do you say to going home first, and talking afterward?"
31681What do you think ought to be done, in justice to him, the prisoner, and the positions which we both occupy?"
31681What does he do when he hears that his aunt has been murdered?
31681What does he do?
31681What does it mean?
31681What does it mean?"
31681What does she do now?
31681What does she do, then?
31681What does she do?
31681What first set you thinking about Craik Mansell?"
31681What for?
31681What had she to do with it, I say?
31681What had this plain and homespun Mrs. Clemmens to do with his love for Miss Dare?"
31681What happens a few minutes later?
31681What happens?
31681What harm would there be in looking at them?"
31681What has he got to do with the papers under my mother''s pillow?"
31681What has this man been telling you?
31681What if he could learn something from the servants?
31681What if that wicked Gouverneur Hildreth should know I lived so much alone?
31681What insinuations or threats could this woman have to make against a young lady of Miss Dare''s position and character?"
31681What is it?
31681What is it?
31681What is that notion, Hickory?
31681What is that?"
31681What is the conclusion?
31681What is the matter, Orcutt?"
31681What is the next act in the drama?
31681What is this fact?
31681What is your secret thought in relation to Miss Dare?"
31681What makes you ask about her?"
31681What name do they presume to associate with the murderer of this woman?"
31681What nonsense is this?"
31681What of them during these years?"
31681What proof have you that this tramp of which you speak came to the house while I was in it?
31681What remains?
31681What restrained you from running as fast as you could?
31681What secret of a deep and deadly nature could lie between these two, that a scene of such evident import could take place between them?
31681What shall I do then?
31681What shall I do, then?
31681What special reasons have you for drawing any such conclusions?"
31681What story in all the books is equal to mine?"
31681What was in the mind of this mysterious woman?
31681What was it she found so hard to speak?
31681What was that bond?
31681What was the natural consequence?
31681What would I do in such a place as that?
31681What would you give for the tramp''s chances if the detectives took him in hand?"
31681What, if some token of his presence had rewarded your search?"
31681When Byrd comes to him, therefore, and tells him he is wanted in Sibley, his first question is,''Am I wanted as a witness?''
31681When, may I ask?"
31681When, then?
31681Where are you going?"
31681Where did you run across her?"
31681Where else would he be likely to put it in the preoccupied state of mind in which he was?
31681Where have I heard that name?"
31681Whether you put it on your finger, or thrust it into your pocket, or tossed it into the marsh?
31681Who lives up this way?"
31681Who was that other person?
31681Who, then, was it?"
31681Why are you on trial instead of him?
31681Why did he go straight to Buffalo and not wait to give me the interview he promised?"
31681Why did you have to go to the court- house this morning with papa, and why have you been almost dead with terror and misery ever since you got back?
31681Why did you take such an interest in it, and why has it had such an effect upon you that you look like a changed woman to- night?"
31681Why did you try to stop her in the midst of her testimony yesterday?
31681Why do you think Mansell innocent?
31681Why should I?
31681Why should such a great man as he have desired the death of a woman like her?
31681Why were you reticent?
31681Why, then, did you look so embarrassed when I mentioned his name?"
31681Why?
31681Will Mr. Black of the jury read aloud the words he will there find written?"
31681Will you listen to my prayer, and make my home forever happy with your presence?"
31681Will you not make me the confidant of your troubles?
31681With which impatient explanation he seized Mr. Ferris by the arm and said:"But what is this I hear?
31681Would it be so very strange?
31681Would she come forth or would he have to seek her in her place of seclusion?
31681Would she show gladness or triumph even of a wild or delirious order?
31681Would you drive me away from your side when you are so unhappy?
31681Would you mind letting me have it as a_ souvenir_?"
31681Yet does it?
31681Yet her gentle tone was not without its effect, and his voice visibly softened as he said:"You are intending, then, to return?"
31681Yet how could it have been money he was after, when a tempting bit like this remained undisturbed upon the table?"
31681Yet, what other conclusion remains after an impartial view of the subject?
31681You are sure of that?"
31681You believe Craik Mansell to be innocent?"
31681You can not mean to remain here any longer, can you, Imogene?"
31681You have your eye on another party suspected of being Mrs. Clemmens''murderer?"
31681You know him, then?"
31681[ Illustration:( Page 364)]"Yes; Mansell carried a bag, did n''t he?
31681_ Hamlet._--Do you see yonder cloud that''s almost in shape of a camel?
31681_ Iago._-- Think, my lord?
31681_ Othello._--What dost thou think?
31681_ Queen._ Alas, how is it with you?
31681and after to- morrow, what then?
31681and am I not to be congratulated upon my bravery in coming here?
31681and could it have been that he had had it on his hand when he struck the blow?
31681and drew attention to his own violent end?"
31681and you are sure he was in the court every minute of the morning?"
31681and you could make use of that?"
31681and"Where did she get off?"
31681ask him no questions or make no allusions to the murder?"
31681continued the coroner, somewhat carelessly,"or possessed any inordinate desire after the money she was expecting to leave him at her death?"
31681cried Mr. Byrd, glancing at Hickory,"what are we to think of this?"
31681did you reply:''A night has been known to change the whole current of one''s affairs''?"
31681he asked;"or, if not, Miss Dare?
31681he cried, at last,"or are you thinking of pushing your way on alone after you have got from me all that I know?"
31681he cried,"how do you do?
31681he cried; then, in a different tone, repeated:"This gentleman, you say, is still at your house?"
31681he ejaculated, interrupting himself as the other opened his lips,"have you any thing to say?"
31681he thinks he''ll put an end to my coming to see him, does he?
31681how?"
31681how?"
31681is n''t that pleasant?
31681nor admit what I supposed he admitted in my hearing?
31681nor listen, as I supposed he did, to the insinuations I made use of in the hut?"
31681or does the house, like the hut, exhibit traces of my presence there at that particular time?"
31681or is he so proud he can not bear the thought of my having the right to touch him?
31681put in Byrd, pausing with his pencil in mid- air;"what did you want to go into the hut for?"
31681said Byrd;"that woman?"
31681she cried,"remembering how you pleaded, and what a revulsion of feeling I was laboring under?"
31681she hurriedly interposed, with a sudden look of distrust,"you are not amusing yourself with me, are you, Mr. Orcutt?
31681the face?
31681the gentleman who came in late to supper?"
31681what of that?"
31681what?"
46774All, uncle? 46774 An''I s''pose I''m to let you know if I see what''s- his- name or Patterson on the way?"
46774And do you think I shall find him, uncle?
46774And have you heard nothing of Litizki?
46774And what do you think of it?
46774And what is your address?
46774And which of these hypotheses,asked Poubalov, guardedly,"do you consider the more probable?"
46774And you have nothing to tell me?
46774Are n''t they near enough together on this side to make it possible to watch both for their return? 46774 Are you engaged?"
46774Are you going to say anything about Lizzie?
46774Are you going to tell her what we have done?
46774Are you money- mad?
46774Are you seriously alarmed about it, uncle?
46774Better ask what has he done?
46774But tell me, my dear child, is there anything in the situation that promises a solution other than that found by the detectives and the reporters?
46774By the way, did you see anybody call at the house while you were waiting?
46774By the way,he said,"is there any communication between my room and the one in front?"
46774Can I see him?
46774Can there be more than one who would hound a poor Russian the world over?
46774Can you give me a seat in this car?
46774Could the nut have been removed then without the driver knowing it?
46774Could you see the man we were after?
46774Dangerous? 46774 Deserted you?"
46774Did Mr. Strobel have a second accident?
46774Did he seem quite well?
46774Did n''t the passenger pay his fare?
46774Did n''t you have some news for me, uncle? 46774 Did she tell you I was coming?"
46774Did you read about my daughter?
46774Did you see anything?
46774Do I understand you to say that you expect to have news of your-- Mr. Strobel before the day is over?
46774Do n''t you know that it has n''t come, that such a thing ca n''t be effected in a moment?
46774Do n''t you think it would be better, Clara,he said gently after they had exchanged a few words,"to withdraw for a while from public view?
46774Do you desert me, Vargovitch?
46774Do you know Paul Palovna''s address?
46774Do you know where Strobel hired his carriage?
46774Do you mean by''certain circumstances''his intended marriage?
46774Do you mean that you have been disappointed, uncle?
46774Do you mean to say that Mr. Strobel was a Nihilist?
46774Do you realize,returned Clara,"what might happen if I did n''t do something of this kind?
46774Do you remember,asked Clara,"the gentleman who called on Mr. Strobel the morning he was to be married?"
46774Do you think so?
46774Do you think,he asked,"that I would have time to go ashore and get a bottle of whisky?"
46774Do you want me to wait and go with you?
46774Do you wish it?
46774Do you, indeed?
46774Do? 46774 Do?"
46774Do?
46774Does he say that he drove Mr. Strobel to the Park Square Station?
46774Does n''t she say anything more about his call than that?
46774Doubtless; but would they credit him with such loyalty? 46774 Everything comes at once, does n''t it?"
46774Exactly; but why do you hedge-- pardon the term-- why do you set forth the conclusion with reservation? 46774 Forgive?
46774Going to be married, was he?
46774Good- morning,said Poubalov, gutturally;"this is Madame White, I believe?"
46774Has anybody been to see you this morning?
46774Has he gone?
46774Have you seen the driver of the closed carriage?
46774Have you such evidence as that? 46774 He was frightened away?"
46774He would lead us away from the scene of his operations, do n''t you see? 46774 Hello, Litizki,"exclaimed the young man,"where in the world are you going rigged out as if it were winter?"
46774Here is Ivan Strobel, more prosperous than we, with more powerful friends, and what has Poubalov done to him? 46774 How could she?"
46774How could you give him the pictures, Clara?
46774How did you come to see Poubalov?
46774I am indeed glad to see you, Strobel,he said, his deep tones vibrant as a church bell;"may I come in?"
46774I am very much obliged to you, Mr. Billings,said Clara;"I suppose you went directly to the Old Colony Depot after that?"
46774I do n''t think so, and what I really tried to ask was whether she were in love with anybody?
46774I only came,said the tailor,"to ask if there is any news of Mr. Strobel?
46774I suppose it would be hard to ignore it altogether, but could n''t you omit saying anything of the rumors that have connected their names?
46774I suppose it would be vain to ask you what you are going to do?
46774I wonder,he mused at last,"if this could have been accident?"
46774I? 46774 Is he the sort that carries a gun in one pocket and a razor in another?"
46774Is it any wonder, Alexander Poubalov?
46774Is it possible,asked Clara in a subdued voice,"that you have really been trying to find Ivan all along?"
46774Is it the noon train, Miss Hilman?
46774Is n''t there some way that you can detain Billings,she suggested,"until Litizki arrives?"
46774Is that all?
46774Is there such a thing as love of fair play in you?
46774It is very hard to understand it all,responded Clara;"but what makes you think Poubalov is better than we have thought him?"
46774It seems better, does n''t it?
46774It''s a splendid argument,said Paul when she had finished;"I suppose you were attracted by his very frankness in admitting that he is a spy?
46774Let us go straight to the hotel,said Mr. Pembroke;"I suppose there''s nothing you want to do to- night?"
46774May I hope that no offense will be taken,said Poubalov,"if I say that I planned to tell these things to you only?
46774May I light a cigarette?
46774May I tell you something?
46774May there not be reasons for my counsel-- reasons that you do not understand?
46774May we go to his room? 46774 Michael,"she cried,"could you overtake the car he is on?"
46774Mine will do no harm,answered Clara, quietly;"did n''t you hear him say he was bound to get it anyway?
46774Mrs. White,he said gravely,"have you any reason to think that Strobel and your daughter went away together?"
46774Mrs. White,he said,"you have shown me Lizzie''s letter; will you let me help you if I can?"
46774Mrs. White,she said tremulously,"you wo n''t show this letter to reporters, or detectives, or anybody else, will you?"
46774Must we begin where we left off yesterday?
46774My dear girl, is it not enough?
46774My poor child,he said,"you have heard everything, I suppose?"
46774No,he answered uneasily;"what good purpose would it serve?"
46774No,replied Lizzie;"what has this man you mention got to do with it?"
46774No,replied Louise, coming forward and entering the parlor;"has he gone?
46774No,''tain''t, not long, but you would n''t have me stop in front of the house to pull''em up, would you?
46774Nothing is so dreadful as uncertainty,replied Clara;"you''ll be very careful what you write then?"
46774Now, miss?
46774Now,he reflected,"shall I tell the police where to look for Ivan Strobel, or shall I consult with his lady?
46774Of Poubalov? 46774 Of course you must, but I was just leading up to this question: What in the world do you want of Mr. Litizki this evening?"
46774Oh,said her uncle, apparently relieved,"is that all?"
46774Only one?
46774Poubalov?
46774Publicity? 46774 Show him into the library, please,"answered Clara, then to Poubalov--"Will you pardon me?
46774So you are going to New York to- day?
46774Strange time of night to do things in a hurry,remarked Poubalov, still aiming his weapon at the young man;"do you belong here?"
46774Strobel was a good man,said one, after a long pause;"but what could any of us do?"
46774Tell me, child,he exclaimed,"why you have come?"
46774Tell me,she said, looking straight into his eyes,"why did you not wish to meet Billings?"
46774That is quite a long way from Park Street, is n''t it? 46774 There are two ferries, are n''t there?"
46774This little front room, too?
46774To what purpose, then, may I attribute your call?
46774Was his name Billings?
46774Was n''t there a deeper reason, Mrs. White, for your daughter''s reluctance to go to Ivan Strobel''s wedding?
46774Was she here when the stranger called?
46774Was there anybody there whom you knew?
46774Well,said the landlady at last as they stood on the landing beside Poubalov''s door,"do you see anything you like?"
46774Were we anywhere near the car?
46774What Russian, uncle? 46774 What could he wish to do against poor Russians, Nicholas Litizki, who have no intention of revisiting their native country?"
46774What do you mean, Clara?
46774What do you mean? 46774 What does he say?"
46774What is it you want?
46774What is it, dear?
46774What is it?
46774What is the matter?
46774What kind of a room do you want?
46774What sort of man was this, Mike, who talked to you?
46774What stable?
46774What was he like and where did he go?
46774What''s your plan, Miss Hilman?
46774What, in the name of all that is right, does Poubalov do here?
46774When one is in a foreign land, and has need of something, he will naturally apply to a fellow- countryman, will he not?
46774Where Patterson shook me, miss? 46774 Where are we, and where are they?"
46774Where did Mr. Strobel tell you to take him?
46774Where did you see her, Litizki?
46774Where to, miss?
46774Where to, sir?
46774Where?
46774Where?
46774Who is he?
46774Who is he?
46774Who is that talking?
46774Who was it?
46774Who was the caller and what was his business, if you happen to know?
46774Who? 46774 Whose rig was it?"
46774Why did n''t you go?
46774Why did you ask Billings that question?
46774Why did you think it was I?
46774Why do you say that?
46774Why not?
46774Why say that?
46774Why should you have feared?
46774Why try to compel me to stand on the same plane as you do?
46774Why, what''s in the paper,replied the landlady;"you''ve read the papers, I suppose?
46774Will I overhaul him, sir, right away?
46774Will you come into the next room a moment?
46774Will you do so?
46774Will you go downtown with me again this afternoon?
46774Will you send word to this Mr. Billings that I would like to see him?
46774Will you take me there?
46774Will you want me longer, miss?
46774Wo n''t you forgive me?
46774Would you know him again?
46774Would your employer spare you to help me to- morrow forenoon?
46774Yes, so I understood; but where?
46774Yes,admitted Peter,"but in the Strobel matter you do not forget what the police have discovered, do you?
46774Yes,she answered;"wo n''t you ride to the station with me?"
46774Yes,she replied in a low tone, while she and Paul kept as far back in the gloom of the carriage as they could;"have you ever seen him before?"
46774Yes?
46774You are still in doubt, then?
46774You are sure of this, I suppose,exclaimed Paul;"but when could it have been done?"
46774You can spare the time now, I suppose?
46774You have an idea, then,he said,"as to the correct explanation?"
46774You have come to tell me something about Mr. Poubalov, or Mr. Strobel, or both?
46774You have said that you love me,she said as calmly as possible;"can you ask me to believe that when you deliberately cause me the most cruel grief?
46774You have seen him, then?
46774You know that the secret society to which I referred adopted the term nihilism as a definition of its principles, do you not? 46774 You know where he lives then?"
46774You want me, then, do you?
46774You went to that quaint- looking house, of course?
46774You will permit me to hand you to a carriage, Miss Hilman? 46774 You will then keep Strobel a prisoner,"muttered Litizki,"until you have wrung from him by cruelty what you have come for?"
46774You''re not going to leave the house, I hope?
46774''An''what?''
46774''Go''n''to take Mr. Strobel to his wedding?''
46774''Hello,''says I,''how long you been driving?''
46774''I have n''t heard anything,''he answered excitedly;''who said I had?
46774''Why not?''
46774A father could n''t be more affectionate and kind; but in this matter, how can I yield to his wishes?
46774A shiver passed over her frame, and Louise inquired anxiously what was the matter?
46774Abandon?
46774After that, what matter?
46774And Litizki, what had become of him?
46774And have you seen either of them?
46774And may they not have conveyed such definite and fearful threats that he found it necessary to disappear?"
46774And, Mr. Bowker, can you not give me the name of the man who said he saw Mr. Strobel buy a ticket for New York?"
46774Any theor- ry to account for it?"
46774Are you aware that Poubalov may be, probably is, watching your every step?
46774Are you going to write to her?"
46774Are you sure that Poubalov spoke to nobody?"
46774As Mr. Pembroke walked him away, Clara heard Dexter croak:"What is she here for, Mat Pembroke?"
46774Ask Ralph and Paul to come to- morrow morning, will you, please?
46774Billings?"
46774Billings?"
46774Billings?"
46774Bowker?"
46774Bowker?"
46774Can you come?
46774Can you not suggest how I am to proceed to prove that and to rescue him?"
46774Can you place the coupé where you can see both doors?"
46774Clara spoke with a sudden energy that startled the driver,"was Mr. Strobel in the carriage when it was damaged?"
46774Could anything be more reasonable than to suppose that in some way the spy had frustrated the attempt of Litizki to help her?
46774Could it be that he was taking flight, too?
46774Could it be that she had heard nothing?
46774Could it have been his subtle purpose to interest her in a line of inquiry that should lead directly away from that?
46774Could she think of him as other than honorable and faithful?
46774Could this be the same Billings?
46774Did Billings drive to the station?
46774Did I do right?
46774Did he appear to be troubled about anything?"
46774Did he give the driver orders to go to the Park Square Station?
46774Did she hear her lover''s name?
46774Did somebody send you to tell me?"
46774Did you see Mr. Strobel speak or bow to anybody at the station?"
46774Did you see it?
46774Do n''t you know how the accident happened to our carriage?"
46774Do n''t you recall how I refused to answer, or evaded your questions?
46774Do n''t you see the cleverness of the plan?
46774Do n''t you see?
46774Do n''t you see?"
46774Do you mind telling me just what you told him?"
46774Do you refer to the suggested irregularities in his accounts?
46774Do you see that I honor you in the highest way that is possible for me?
46774Do you suppose, uncle dear, that that rumor disturbed me?
46774Do you understand me?"
46774Do you-- was Lizzie engaged?"
46774Does n''t it seem clear?"
46774Fear?
46774Had Poubalov lost Billings in the darkness, and, observing Litizki''s pursuit, purposely dodged hither and thither, to discomfit the tailor?
46774Had Poubalov, then, returned when she had weakly given up the watching, and abducted Ivan a second time?
46774Had he followed Billings?
46774Had she a right to listen?
46774Had she not heard how the great body of the nihilistic society was made up of the poor?
46774Has he been up to anything crooked?"
46774Has he ever told you about his life there?"
46774Has not everything he has done been done with a view to keeping me in Boston?
46774Has nothing been heard from Ivan?"
46774Has your detective seen the driver of the closed carriage?"
46774Has your revolution so far progressed as to convince you that it is worth while to waste energy?"
46774Have I not been good to listen, and ask no questions and volunteer no advice?"
46774Have I not learned to endure anything that can happen?"
46774Have n''t you seen him?"
46774Have you any obser- rvation to make upon Mr. Strobel''s absence?
46774Have you seen Mr. Litizki to- day?"
46774Have you written yet?"
46774He had surrendered his room; he must, therefore, have packed his belongings; had they been disturbed?
46774He seemed----""Did you tell him I had gone to New York?"
46774Honestly, would n''t you rather find out the truth, even if it did upset your first theory?"
46774How can I expect anything but unmixed evil from such a man?
46774How can I promise to believe you without confessing that, for this moment at least, I accept your own style of intercourse?"
46774How could she tell?
46774How did you find out?"
46774How long would Poubalov stand there and allow him to reflect?
46774How long you been living here?"
46774I suppose he had plenty of friends who were aware of his intentions?"
46774I suppose it is almost unkind to ask if there is any news?"
46774I suppose the evidence of the cabman would be satisfactory, would n''t it?"
46774I''m sure you''ve been very good and brave, Miss Hilman, but what is one to think?"
46774If Ralph Harmon were under suspicion, could she fail to defend him?
46774If he had abducted Ivan, would he hesitate to abduct Litizki if he found that the little tailor was in his way?
46774If so, who is it?"
46774If we had been married, and Ivan had disappeared, would it not be my duty as well as my inclination to turn the world upside down to find him?
46774If you only knew that Mr. Strobel was sick in a hospital, now, it would be better, would n''t it?"
46774In the very hopelessness of his passion would he not first murder Strobel, and then Clara herself?
46774In this house?
46774Is it customary, Mr. Billings, for cabmen to leave the curtains of their carriages closely drawn after they leave a funeral party?"
46774Is it too much to ask you to call at my uncle''s house some time during the evening?"
46774Is it you who would stand by and let this spy work his will among us?"
46774Is n''t it the same, Mike, with which you started to take Mr. Strobel to his wedding?"
46774Is n''t there something that I can do now?
46774Is that consistent?
46774Is there something you would like to have me say?"
46774It ca n''t be helped in a minute, can it?
46774It had happened upon a railroad train; what more probable, then, than that the railroad officials had suppressed the news?
46774It hurts me to displease uncle, but what would you do?
46774It is hard to believe that he will go to extreme measures-- but what am I saying?
46774It was in Cambridge, was it not?"
46774Ivan had befriended him; must she distrust him, too?
46774Litizki thought a moment, and then asked:"May I see Poubalov''s cane?"
46774Louise tucked her arm affectionately within Clara''s, and asked:"Where now, dear?"
46774May I ask, Miss Hilman, how you passed the night?"
46774May I copy Miss Lizzie''s address?"
46774May I leave it to you to prevent Litizki, if possible, from any act that would be indiscreet, or worse?"
46774May they not have imagined that, under certain circumstances, he might be induced to betray them?
46774Mr. Pembroke asked:"Well, my man, who is it you have seen?"
46774Mr. Pembroke suspected Dexter, but what could he do?
46774Mrs. White, may we step into your dining- room?"
46774Must you go now?
46774Must you hurry?"
46774No?
46774Now what better could he do than divert suspicion in my mind from Lizzie to those whom he calls Nihilists, or even upon himself?
46774One officious gentleman remarked to Poubalov:"You will, of course, report this matter to the police?
46774Page 21, changed''?''
46774Poubalov must be checkmated, Strobel rescued; and if in accomplishing this end, the spy should be-- Well, what then?
46774Poubalov?"
46774Poubalov?"
46774Shall I follow him?"
46774Shall I get you anything to read?"
46774Shall I tell your mother anything?"
46774Shall we breakfast together, Paul Palovna?"
46774Shaughnessy looked doubtingly at Mr. Pembroke, and then said:"May I have the honor of calling on you later, then?"
46774Should he not end his misery then and there, and cheat the hangman?
46774Should it make any difference just because the formal word had not been spoken that was to make us husband and wife?"
46774So she asked,"What did he say, Michael?"
46774Strobel must be freed, but how?
46774Strobel?"
46774Strobel?"
46774Strobel?"
46774Strobel?"
46774Strobel?"
46774Strobel?"
46774Strobel?"
46774Strobel?"
46774Suppose it were Poubalov, what then?
46774Tell me, Miss Hilman, will you not, can you not believe that I tell you the truth?"
46774The girl half raised her head, choked back the sobs and replied,"Who?"
46774The release must be effected by some other hand than his own; but what matter?
46774The spy would have plenty of money, he could have put up at a hotel; why had he not done so?
46774The unhappy man tried to think, not so much to explain how it had happened that the dagger had not done its work, but how should he act now?
46774Then she said in a quiet but not unkind voice:"Lizzie, have you seen Alexander Poubalov this morning?"
46774Then, had he gone voluntarily, might it not be possible that he did not wish her to search for him?
46774There was a marked pause after Louise had gone, Clara waiting for Poubalov, and the spy-- who can tell what was coursing through his mind?
46774They were not direct, but was ever Poubalov direct save when telling a straightforward lie?
46774They were speaking of him; who were they?
46774This was so, and no newspaper could make it otherwise; but how should it happen that the reporters had missed the episode?
46774To put Lizzie White on her guard?
46774Uncle, what do you mean?"
46774Was it not an inevitable inference that Billings had been hired by the Russian?
46774Was it spoken in anger?
46774Was not that the name of the man whom Miss Hilman had mentioned as the driver of Strobel''s second carriage?
46774Was that a groan that she had heard behind one of those doors?
46774Was that he taking another carriage?
46774Was this to be the end of the conversation?
46774Well, Litizki?"
46774Well, what are you going to do now that you are here?"
46774Well?"
46774Were all his railings against superstition and the supernatural but empty words?
46774What attitude might she not take, therefore, in order to carry out her part in the spy''s design?
46774What better, what else could I do?
46774What cared he for details at the very end of his search?
46774What could be done to avert them?
46774What could he be doing in America, and what could have led him to call at just this juncture?
46774What did her uncle''s words mean?
46774What did you think I had come for?"
46774What do you suppose I should do without you?"
46774What does he care how much poor Litizki dogs his steps, so long as the victim of his intrigue and villainy is hundreds of miles away?
46774What else could I do?"
46774What has he got to do with it?"
46774What has he not done that is cruel, barbarous and wicked?
46774What have I found to be the chief requisite of leadership, whether in guiding the state, or seeking to wreck it, or in commerce?
46774What have you done with the man I do love?"
46774What have you found?"
46774What have you seen?
46774What is his purpose?
46774What is it you know, or think of?"
46774What might Paul accomplish?
46774What should a peaceable lodger not do to a man who stealthily enters his house by night?
46774What should he do?
46774What should he do?
46774What stable does he drive for?"
46774What train are you to take?
46774What was the matter?"
46774What was this sense of loss but a relief from the dominating influence of Poubalov''s stronger personality?
46774What would Clara say?
46774What would you say?"
46774When did you first see the coupé?"
46774When is it to be?"
46774When shall I tell him to call?"
46774When, Nicholas Litizki?"
46774Where did you leave your passengers, the persons you took to the funeral, I mean?"
46774Where his devotion to Reason, that false goddess whose dictates had seemed to him infallible?
46774Where is it, and when shall I come?"
46774Where now was all the exaltation of heroism that had sustained him?
46774Where, then, was the long account of the second day''s developments?
46774White?"
46774White?"
46774White?"''
46774Whither should she go?
46774Who is he?"
46774Who would disbelieve me if I should calmly report to the police that you came as a burglar, and that I shot at you in protection of property and life?
46774Who?
46774Why did n''t you let mother write to me the day she received my letter?"
46774Why disguise the fact that Poubalov is a powerful enemy?
46774Why had he presumed to undertake the hopeless task of outwitting Poubalov?
46774Why had he so insanely thrown away his revolver?
46774Why had n''t she mentioned what her clew was?
46774Why had she not heard his report when he was there to make it?
46774Why not continue your frankness, and be strictly open with me?"
46774Why not say it does mean?"
46774Why not tell you then about it?
46774Why should I?
46774Why should n''t he think what other people thought?
46774Will that do?"
46774Will the search and the waiting never end?"
46774Will you be careful, Mrs. White?
46774Will you be there?"
46774Will you begin at once?"
46774Will you care to hear from me from time to time?"
46774Will you come to- morrow?"
46774Will you do that to- night?"
46774Will you get in?"
46774Will you make them for me?"
46774Will you pass the afternoon in your room, Paul?"
46774Will you sit down just a minute longer, Mr. Billings?
46774Will you undertake to look him up?
46774Will you wait here"( they were in the dining- room),"in case I should want you?"
46774Will you, Lou, dear?"
46774Will you, then, love and torture me, too?"
46774With Lizzie''s name in the papers, and everybody believing that she ran away with Mr. Strobel, what should I say?"
46774With the insight he himself had given her into his character, would he not do everything possible to throw her off the right track?
46774Wo n''t you tell me just what you told him?"
46774Would I not dare?
46774Would Palovna, an intelligent man, free from excitement, condemn and ridicule Litizki''s assertions as wild and imaginary?
46774Would he proceed promptly to put into execution whatever design he might have for injuring Ivan?
46774Would it not be madness in us to ignore his information?"
46774Would not the disappointed passion that had led him to all but the commission of suicide now prompt him to murder his prisoner?
46774Would the spy, then,"get away,"and by this manner of exit?
46774Yes?
46774Yet why should Ivan, resident in and prospective citizen of the United States, fear him, an"official agent of a friendly government"?
46774You are familiar with it, and do n''t mind traveling alone for so short a time, do you?"
46774You do n''t know who he is, do you?
46774You perceive the distrust that I can not conquer, but you believe me, do you not?"
46774You remember looking in at the hotel entrance and seeing Dexter, your uncle and a third man walking in the corridor?
46774You said you had read the papers?"
46774You will let me pay for a carriage, wo n''t you?"
46774You''ll take the noon train I suppose?
46774You, was it you?
46774after"what we have done?"
46774and could his going away portend any failure for the plan that Litizki had executed at such heroic self- sacrifice?
46774and that if there were one brought to light, that there might be many others whose identity would ever remain unknown to her?
46774asked Clara;"you could n''t suppose that I was in any danger in Mrs. White''s house, could you?"
46774blustered the passenger,"you wo n''t have your assailant arrested?
46774cried Litizki;"does he ever do anything but spy upon the poor?
46774dear, what can you do?"
46774did you really think that Poubalov''s eyes did not penetrate your flimsy disguise?
46774echoed Bowker with his stare of surprise;"why should you ask that, Miss Hilman?"
46774echoed both his listeners, and"where?"
46774exclaimed Clara eagerly;"but what do you mean?
46774exclaimed Clara, with just a touch of impatience;"do n''t you see that if it had been accident, we should have known of it?
46774exclaimed Lizzie, bitterly, and then in the same breath--"You found it quite possible that he could have come, did n''t you?"
46774exclaimed the good lady;"whatever should I write about then?
46774howled Mike, beside himself with disappointment and rage,"do n''t yees see I''ve got to get aboard?"
46774is that all you can think of?
46774moaned Mrs. White;"why, oh, why has she done this?"
46774notoriety?
46774or was it a mere coincidence of names?
46774replied Mrs. White, with a little gasp;"what made you think so?"
46774responded Poubalov quietly;"you are very sure of that?"
46774said Mr. Pembroke, turning to his niece;"did you tell him you were coming to New York?"
46774said Paul, whose brows had contracted ominously when he heard the name, and who took advantage of the pause to ask,"What Poubalov is that?"
46774she cried;"how could you think such a thing?
46774she repeated,"where should he be?
46774sneered Litizki;"do you forget that there are two women in the case?
46774there''s a side entrance to the Crawford House, is n''t there?
46774to?"
46774what could be worse than the notoriety I have already acquired?
46774what could he do?"
46774what did he say?"
46774what have you to do with it, I should like to know?
46774what will you do?"
46774where else if she heard it?
46774why was not Paul here to tell her just what happened at this point, wherever it was?
46774will you take my business and dispose of it for me?"
46774you did mean business, did n''t you?"
5054A bulletless gun?
5054A cocaine fiend?
5054A fish- eye lens?
5054A poisoning, then?
5054Agnes,Miss Blaisdell had said,"will you go into the writing- room and bring me some paper, a pen, and ink?
5054Agnes?
5054And Clendenin?
5054And Haddon knows?
5054And Mr. Maitland,asked Kennedy,"was he a patient, too?"
5054And that is?
5054And the Star,inquired Kennedy, coming to the door and adding with an aggravating grin,"the infallible?"
5054And the door to the side street?
5054And the motive for such a terrible crime?
5054And the murder of the chef?
5054And the pieces?
5054And they operate so secretly that Brixton can trust no one about him?
5054And were engaged, were you not?
5054And what is a thermopile?''
5054And who are these Elmores?
5054And who might you be?
5054And you were not with them?
5054Annie Grayson? 5054 Are they salable; that is, could any one dispose of the emeralds or the other curios with reasonable safety and at a good price?"
5054Are you aware of any scandal, any skeleton in the closet in the family?
5054Are you going to keep up this debauch?
5054Are you going to put in a detectaphone?
5054Are you going?
5054Are you hurt badly?
5054Are you hurt?
5054Are you sure that it is a fact?
5054Blown?
5054But have you any idea who would go so far to protect his investments as to kill?
5054But what about Annie Grayson?
5054But what do you expect to gain by it?
5054But why should the Chinaman shoot my sister?
5054But, man,shouted Brixton,"you do n''t suppose anything in the world counts beside her, do you?"
5054But,I objected,"how about the oil of turpentine?"
5054By some jiu jitsu trick?
5054By the way,he remarked, just before we left,"you used a good deal of canned goods at the Godwin house, did n''t you?"
5054Captain,he cried,"can you send a wireless message?
5054Cobra venom?
5054Could I--he slipped a crumpled treasury note into her hand--"could I speak to Mr. Thornton''s nurse?"
5054Could a current from one of the batteries have influenced the receiving apparatus?
5054Could it have been some medical students, body- snatchers?
5054Could it have been through something internal?
5054Could you point it out to me from the window?
5054Count Wachtmann?
5054Cushing?
5054Did Mr. Borland and his new chemist Lathrop believe it, too?
5054Did you ever see Mr. Phelps take any drugs-- not habitually, but just before this sleep came on?
5054Did you notice anything unusual?
5054Did you try artificial respiration?
5054Do you know anything about his scheme?
5054Do you know who he is?
5054Do you recall using any that were-- well, perhaps not exactly spoiled, but that had anything peculiar about them?
5054Do you think he could have been kidnapped or murdered?
5054Do you think he oversteps his position in trying to learn of the mental life of his patients?
5054Do you think he was right?
5054Do you think it was a suicide?
5054Do you use it often?
5054Do you wish to speak to him? 5054 Does that mean that he has gone-- escaped?"
5054Emery Pitts?
5054Engaged?
5054Had a mousey smell? 5054 Had you ever noticed that he took any drug?"
5054Has anything happened?
5054Have you any idea who it could be?
5054Have you come any closer to the truth?
5054Have you ever heard of or used cobra venom in any of your medical work?
5054Have you no clue, no suspicions?
5054Have you struck a snag?
5054Have you-- er-- any one here named Thornton-- er--?
5054He is talking into a very sensitive telephone transmitter and--"But the voice-- here?
5054He was a friend of Mrs. Maitland''s, was he not?
5054Heart failure-- what does that mean? 5054 Hello-- yes-- is that you, Burke?
5054Here? 5054 How are the tests coming along?"
5054How can you?
5054How could any one have got in from the outside?
5054How could she have any connection with the case?
5054How did that land there?
5054How did you enjoy it?
5054How did you get him so that he is even considering turning state''s evidence?
5054How did you know I was interested?
5054How did you know he was here?
5054How do you mean?
5054How do you mean?
5054How is she now?
5054How long ago did the coma first show itself?
5054How-- what do you mean?
5054Hulloa-- what''s this?
5054I have n''t looked into the case very deeply, but I''m not so sure that he had the secret, are you?
5054I may keep these for the present?
5054I send that? 5054 I suppose you have heard of this?"
5054I suppose you saw that despatch from Washington in this afternoon''s papers?
5054I trust he is all right here?
5054I wonder if he''d recognise me?
5054I wonder if the long arm of this vice trust could have reached out and gathered them in, too?
5054I?
5054If any one dares to do that to him, what will they do to me?
5054In his note,resumed Kennedy,"he spoke of Dr. Ross and--""Oh,"she cried,"ca n''t you see Dr. Ross about it?
5054In the kitchen?
5054Indeed?
5054Indol?
5054Inert?
5054Is he very-- very badly?
5054Is n''t this a marvellous picture? 5054 Is that so?
5054Is this Professor Kennedy?
5054Kidnapped, you say? 5054 Kronski?
5054Merciless?
5054Mice?
5054Minna,murmured Pitts, falling back, exhausted by the excitement, on his pillows,"Minna-- forgive?
5054Miriam?
5054Mr. Maitland had no enemies that you know of?
5054Mr. Masterson, I believe?
5054Mrs. Maitland, I believe, is a patient of yours?
5054Mrs. Pitts,began Kennedy,"I suppose you are aware of the physical condition of your husband?"
5054Must that grim prison take in others, even if my husband goes free?
5054Must-- must it be an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?
5054My dear,he said to her at length,"will you call some one and have them taken to the kitchen?"
5054No one?
5054Nordheim?
5054Not a suicide?
5054Now where was the body, exactly, when you opened the door?
5054Of Dr. Thompson Lord?
5054Oh, Walter, on Broadway? 5054 Or perhaps bribed?"
5054Or was it simply a piece of vandalism? 5054 Outside the hull?"
5054Perhaps, Ruth, I had better-- ah-- see these gentlemen alone?
5054Professor Kennedy?
5054Saw whom?
5054Say, do you and your gun- moll want to pick up a piece of change to get that mouthpiece I heard you talking about?
5054Secret service-- rummage baggage?
5054Shall I order them to bring Mrs. Willoughby and Annie Grayson to the superintendent''s office and have them searched?
5054She broke off the engagement?
5054Siege?
5054Since when were you admitted into society?
5054So you are a cocaine fiend, also?
5054So you think he really did have the secret of artificial rubber?
5054Stand it?
5054Strange delusions?
5054Strangled?
5054Suicide?
5054Telautomatics?
5054The Jap-- Nichi Moto?
5054The Stamford cottage?
5054The body is really there?
5054The coast or Down East?
5054The phantom circuit?
5054The question is, who and what was he working for?
5054Then how did she get it?
5054Then she is dancing at the Mayfair yet?
5054Then what did he do? 5054 Then who did get it, do you think?"
5054Then why are you here?
5054There could not have been any substitution?
5054There-- see? 5054 They have submarines in Germany, do n''t they?
5054They have? 5054 They?"
5054This? 5054 Those people in there,"he nodded his head back in the direction of the Millefleurs,"do you suspect them?
5054To what am I indebted for this pleasure?
5054To you?
5054Walter, you''ll come, too?
5054Walter,almost shouted Kennedy,"I''m over at the Washington Heights Hospital with Dr. Barron-- you remember Barron, in our class at college?
5054Was any doctor called?
5054Was it incontestible without the suicide clause?
5054Was she a patron, too?
5054Was your husband a man of neurotic tendency, as far as you could judge?
5054Well, then,I persisted,"body- snatchers, medical students?"
5054Well, what do you think of that?
5054Well?
5054Well?
5054Well?
5054Wh- what does it all mean?
5054What are you doing, mixed up in this?
5054What can I do for you?
5054What did she do with it?
5054What did you discover?
5054What did you do that for?
5054What do you know about Mrs. Brainard? 5054 What do you make of that, Professor Kennedy?"
5054What do you mean?
5054What do you mean?
5054What do you see, Walter?
5054What do you suppose is in that, Kennedy?
5054What do you think of him?
5054What do you think of it yourself?
5054What does anything amount to?
5054What does he want?
5054What does this mean?
5054What have you done since?
5054What have you found?
5054What is it?
5054What is it?
5054What is it?
5054What is on that other point?
5054What is the Red Brotherhood?
5054What is the latest from the Near East?
5054What is this principle? 5054 What is this, anyhow-- gang- war?"
5054What is this-- a gathering of the clans? 5054 What then?"
5054What was it?
5054What was left? 5054 What was that?"
5054What was the purpose of that outburst?
5054What were you writing?
5054What''s it all about?
5054What''s that, those little spots on her tongue and throat? 5054 What''s that?"
5054What''s that?
5054What''s that?
5054What''s that?
5054What''s the lay?
5054What''s the matter?
5054What''s the matter?
5054What''s the matter?
5054What''s the matter?
5054What''s the matter?
5054What''s the news from Washington, Burke? 5054 What''s this-- a zoo?"
5054What''s this?
5054What''s this?
5054What-- Gladys-- you--"Florence-- tell them-- it is n''t so-- is it? 5054 What-- leave him here-- alone-- in the last days?
5054What?
5054What?
5054What?
5054When did you first notice the interference with the Turtle?
5054Where are the papers in the case, the documents showing the application for the patent, for instance?
5054Where away?
5054Where did you find it?
5054Where does he get the supply to sell?
5054Where is Borland''s office?
5054Where is Nordheim?
5054Where is his office?
5054Where is it?
5054Where is my hat-- wh- where am I? 5054 Which end of the rubber works is it?"
5054Which tong does he belong to?
5054Who are these men, Conrad?
5054Who do you suppose could have sent it?
5054Who has been hounding him?
5054Who have rival companies?
5054Who is Nordheim?
5054Who is it?
5054Who is that?
5054Who is this girl Agnes who discovered Miss Blaisdell?
5054Who was caught in your kitchen, Mr. Pitts, and, to escape detection, killed your faithful chef and covered his own traces so cleverly?
5054Who was it?
5054Who was this madman? 5054 Who were the others?"
5054Who would have known the new process of healing wounds? 5054 Who,"asked Kennedy,"was chiefly interested in the rubber works where Cushing was formerly employed?"
5054Who-- who is this Thornton?
5054Who?
5054Who?
5054Whom did he call?
5054Why all this secrecy?
5054Why did n''t you say that before?
5054Why impossible?
5054Why, what do you mean?
5054Why, what''s the trouble, Mr. Willoughby? 5054 Why, why do you and Mr. Andrews worry me?
5054Why,she asked with real alarm,"is he so very badly?"
5054Why? 5054 Why?"
5054Wo n''t you come back to the house for dinner?
5054Would you fight such a move?
5054Yes,I said,"but will one of us have to watch here all the time?"
5054Yes-- how did you know his name?
5054You are already holding it up?
5054You are going into town to- morrow?
5054You called in Dr. Forden the last night?
5054You can tell it all when the chief takes you to headquarters, see?
5054You do n''t know?
5054You do n''t mean to say that you attach any importance to a dream?
5054You expect us to believe that?
5054You get me?
5054You had had no quarrel?
5054You have heard, I suppose, of the strange death of Price Maitland?
5054You have known Mrs. Maitland a long time?
5054You have n''t given this letter out to the press?
5054You have no idea who the murderer might be?
5054You have not given up hope in the appeal?
5054You have theories of your own on the case?
5054You knew that they had discovered the poisoned wall- paper?
5054You know where that stuff will land you, I presume?
5054You mean he refused to talk?
5054You met him at the Naval building, that night, do n''t you remember?
5054You recall the peculiar marking on the nose of those bullets? 5054 You recall,"he began,"that no one seemed to know just who took the jewels in both the cases you first reported?
5054You remember my use of the sphygmomanometer?
5054You saw it?
5054You see that fellow, Coke Brodie? 5054 You see, Walter,"he smiled,"how soon one gets into a habit?
5054You think he was bitten by a snake?
5054You want me to stay here until the last minute so that I can overhear whether any alarm is given for her? 5054 You were his personal physician?"
5054You were sent for by Mrs. Phelps, that last night, I believe, while Phelps was still alive?
5054You will keep me advised of any progress you make in the case?
5054You''ll be within call, if we let you go now, any time that we want you?
5054You''ll do that, Walter?
5054''Look, do n''t you see it?
5054A half- hour later, when he had left and had gone to the hotel, I asked Kennedy suspiciously,"Why did you expose your hand to Hollins, Craig?"
5054All the way she kept crying over and over:''Look, do n''t you see it?
5054And have you had time to study the records?
5054And if it was his conspiracy, would he succeed in tempting his friend, Miss Winslow, to fall in with this glittering offer?
5054Any clues?"
5054Any dizziness?"
5054Are n''t you going to the Novella this morning?"
5054Are you game to go in?"
5054Are you going to keep that up?
5054Are you going?"
5054Assuming the presence of conine, where did it come from?"
5054At last he leaned over and asked quickly,"Can I trust you?"
5054Brainard?"
5054Brainard?"
5054Brainard?"
5054But did he do it himself or did some one else do it?
5054But had he taken anything lately, either of his own volition or with the advice or knowledge of any one else?"
5054But how did you know that?
5054But now that I am here, I wonder if it is possible that I could bring any influence to bear to see your husband?"
5054But what was it she had really seen?
5054By George, it does look badly for them, does n''t it, when you come to think of it?
5054By telepathy?
5054By the way, who else is there in the immediate family?"
5054Ca n''t you see Doctor Forden?"
5054Can not you come and advise me?
5054Can we visit the mausoleum to- night?"
5054Can you come to the Municipal Hospital-- right away?"
5054Can you help me out with it?"
5054Can you meet me to- night?
5054Clendenin?"
5054Could it be that he was playing a game with Carton and had given him a double cross?
5054Could she have been poisoned by these phosphorescent bacilli?
5054Count Wachtmann''s car is there?
5054Craig evidently had the same thought in his mind, however, for he continued:"Was it a woman who killed the chef?
5054Craig, are you sure nobody is hoaxing you?"
5054Did n''t I just tell you I had n''t heard from her until I called up the theatre just now?"
5054Do n''t you know that synthetic rubber would ruin the business system that I have built up here?"
5054Do you know, the scientific slaying of human beings has far exceeded organised efforts at detection?
5054Do you see how those strokes of the long letters are-- well, wobbly?
5054Do you see the closet?"
5054Do you want to come along?
5054Dr. Ross, I think, is acquainted with the new and remarkable theories of Dr. Sigmund Freud, of Vienna?"
5054Gentlemen of the press?"
5054Had he been in league with them, executing a flank movement to divert our attention?
5054Had that been what she was concealing?
5054Had the bomb- maker left before we arrived?
5054Had the powers of evil in the city learned that he was weakening and hurried him out of the way at the last moment?
5054Had there been anything more than superstition in the girl''s evident fright?
5054Had you thought of going to- day?"
5054Has not Haddon cast me off?
5054Has some one else been victimised, too?"
5054Have you a pen or a pencil?"
5054Have you ever seen it?"
5054Have you noticed this room?"
5054He came to me originally--""Arnold Masterson?"
5054He paused, then added quickly:"What machine was it in this case?
5054His chauffeur has started the car without waiting for the Count, who is coming down the platform?"
5054How are things going?"
5054How can he?
5054How can we watch both places at once and yet remain hidden?"
5054How could you?"
5054How do I know what you are?"
5054How do you feel to- day?"
5054How much were you stung for?"
5054How was he to profit by it?
5054How were we to get past that door?
5054How would we find it out?
5054How?"
5054I asked myself the usual query of the lawyers and the detectives-- Who would benefit most by the death of Pitts?
5054I believe it was midnight before you finished?"
5054I gasped,"another case before even this one is fairly cleaned up?
5054I suppose Yvonne has shown you one of the letters I am receiving?"
5054I suppose that an expert like Mr. Borland could tell me, perhaps?"
5054I suppose you have noticed the precautions we are taking against intruders?
5054I trust you wo n''t consider it an impertinence if I ask you whether you were aware that Dr. Ross was Mrs. Maitland''s physician?"
5054I wonder if there could have been any jewels buried with him, as Shaughnessy said?
5054I wonder if you could let me have a sample of this cobra venom?"
5054Inert?
5054Is he here?"
5054Is he really guilty?
5054Is it a curse four thousand years old that has fallen on me?"
5054Is n''t it bad enough to hound him, without hounding me, too?
5054Is that the way the Z99 has behaved always lately?"
5054Is that you, Dr. Guthrie?
5054Is that you, Ella?
5054Is there no rest for the wicked?"
5054Just what had Loraine Keith to do with it?
5054Kennedy fingered the now set impressions, then resumed:"Before I answer that question, what else does the spectroscope show?
5054Kennedy?"
5054Meanwhile, Captain, will you explain to Professor Kennedy just how things are?
5054My friend here knows Dr. Lord very well, do n''t you, Walter?"
5054My heavens-- is there still another day of it?
5054Nordheim?"
5054Number seven?
5054Oh, Price-- why did you?
5054Or could it all have been part of a conspiracy?
5054Or did the cadaveric conine develop only in the body after death?
5054Or had it all been pure chance?
5054Ruth looked up at him with tearful eyes wistful with pain,"Would Mr. Kennedy work on it?"
5054Shall I call her?"
5054She is a very handsome and attractive woman-- you have seen her?
5054Should the confederates of Phelps wait?
5054Stand it?
5054Suppose I just drop off at your place?"
5054Suppose we should start and this Kronski should change his plans at the last minute?
5054Tell me-- what has happened?"
5054The nine- o''clock train is five minutes late?
5054The ten- two?
5054Then, improving the opening, I hastened:"Is this Mr. Thornton violent?
5054They will hold the boat for us?
5054Thornton?"
5054Walter, breathe as little of it as you can-- but-- come here-- do you see?--over there, near the other door-- a figure lying on the floor?
5054Was Dr. Ross desperately shifting suspicion from himself?
5054Was Wachtmann a party to it?
5054Was he going to wait until the bomb- maker had finished what he had come to accomplish?
5054Was he, too, crazy?
5054Was it Clendenin?
5054Was it human or wraith?
5054Was it of some one who had visited the tomb, who was surprised there or surprised some one else there?
5054Was it that which Kennedy was driving at disclosing?
5054Was not Kennedy actually taxing her with loving another?
5054Was she acting a part now?
5054Was she herself part of the plot to victimise, perhaps kill, him?
5054Was she in any way responsible?
5054Was she shielding some one?
5054Was she telling the truth?
5054Was the bomb- maker there still?
5054Was there any way of escape?
5054Was there not something still that she was concealing?
5054Was there some secret which medical ethics kept locked in his breast?
5054Was this a case for the oculists, the spiritualists, the Egyptologists, or for a detective?
5054We met him to- day at the country club, a kindly looking, middle- aged fellow?"
5054What are all these pictures?"
5054What are you doing for it?"
5054What black magic was this?
5054What did you mean?"
5054What do you make of it?
5054What do you think of it?"
5054What do you think of that?"
5054What had been her purpose in coming at all?
5054What has happened?"
5054What is he to me, now?"
5054What is it?
5054What is there to forgive?
5054What is this thing, anyhow?"
5054What must they have done to her?
5054What new scientific engine of death was that little hollow cylinder?
5054What reason, I asked myself, was there to suppose that it would be different now?
5054What threat would be used to back this demand on the Phelpses?"
5054What train are you going to take?
5054What was back of it all?
5054What was he doing-- convicting the man over again?
5054What was he preparing to do?
5054What was it, I wondered?
5054What was it-- a strange new mouth- malady that had attacked this notorious adventuress and woman of luxury?
5054What was it?
5054What was the implication of his startling, almost gruesome, discovery?
5054What was the secret hidden in it?
5054What was to be done?
5054What was to be done?
5054What''s that?
5054What''s that?
5054What''s the matter with it?"
5054What''s this?"
5054What, after all, had been the net result of our activities so far?
5054When that went out what was the use?"
5054Where is Clendenin, do you suppose?"
5054Where is it?
5054Where was he?
5054Which window did you say was Borland''s?
5054Who are they?
5054Who knew about the fatal properties of indol?
5054Who put it in the food?
5054Who was it whose voice Brixton had recognised as familiar over Kennedy''s hastily installed detectaphone?
5054Who was this wounded criminal?
5054Who was willing to forego a one- hundred- thousand- dollar prize in order to gain a fortune of many hundreds of thousands?"
5054Who were the men who went on that expedition to the Congo with Borland which you mentioned?"
5054Who will come to the Novella now?"
5054Whose blood was it?
5054Whose were the teeth?"
5054Why can not we make the world see our case as we see it?
5054Why did I come?
5054Why did I come?"
5054Why have I?
5054Will that serve?"
5054Will this appeal be denied, also?
5054Will you come?"
5054Will you merciless detectives drive us all from, place to place with your brutal suspicions?"
5054Will you not go?
5054Would he hesitate a moment to send us all to perdition along with himself?
5054Would she be used to get at the millionaire and his treasures?
5054Would she stop at anything to avoid the scandal and disgrace of the charge of bigamy?
5054Would you like to see why?"
5054Yes-- what?
5054Yes?
5054Yes?
5054Yes?
5054Yes?
5054Yet here was the one great question, Whence had come the impulse that had sent the famous Z99 to her fate?
5054You do n''t think it is anything serious, do you, Doctor?"
5054You have heard of the Indian fakirs who bury themselves alive and are dug up days later?
5054You have read Ellen Key, I presume?
5054You poor creature, do n''t you think a little trip into town might make you feel better?
5054You received the impulses all right?
5054You remember Burke of the secret service?
5054You remember him?
5054You remember the field glass I used?"
5054You remember the girl at the hospital?
5054You see the evident disguise of the roughly written address?"
5054You understand?
5054You will be at your office?"
5054You will excuse us, Captain, for a few hours?
5054You''d never see that in the original, but when it is enlarged you see how plainly visible the tremors of the hand become?
5054You''re sure it is the nine- o''clock train she is due on?
5054asked Kennedy,"and why do you connect it with this case?"
5054in the morning paper?"
481''Scuse me, sir, ai n''t you mistaken?
481About your weakness for other girls''coats?
481Afraid you would n''t care for an old fellow like me?
481An uncommon name, is n''t it?
481And that was all? 481 And the reason, Nance-- the reason for it all?"
481And the soiled things she had on-- the dress with the blue ribbons?
481And then she thought of me?
481And you mean to tell me that this is all?
481Are we?
481Are you of yours?
481Ashamed-- huh?
481Aunt Henrietta is too fussy, do n''t you think? 481 Because you were the only person in that room except Mrs. Gates, the lady who lost the purse, Mrs. Ramsay, and-- eh?"
481Because you''re so fond of her, eh? 481 Because?"
481Best kind of a joke, I call it, to find so pretty a girl right in your own house, eh, Bishop?
481But Heffelfinger and Dixon and Weinstock are all in with us; who told you that fairy story?
481But Obermuller would never--"But Olden might--"What?
481But do-- eh? 481 But suppose I want you to come to lunch with me?"
481But what have I got that belongs to him?
481But what in the devil did you make believe for?
481But when Latimer found out she had the diamonds-- he did find out?
481But why are n''t you in the Trust, Fred Obermuller?
481But why should n''t his name be Ramsay?
481But you''ll come with me, wo n''t you, Bishop?
481Ca n''t I do what you want, ma''am?
481Ca n''t you give me a chance in a comedy?
481Ca n''t you tell a difference, Bishop?
481Called there,he sneered,"alone?"
481Debt?
481Did she say that? 481 Did she tell you that?
481Do I eat as though I was starved?
481Do I?
481Do n''t I look like a-- an imposing married woman now? 481 Do n''t you think it''s more the expression than anything else, and the voice?
481Do n''t you think you''d better get out of this?
481Do n''t you?
481Do you mean,I said,"that you''ll sign your name to such a charge against me?"
481Do you want to do something for me now?
481Does n''t it occur to you that under the circumstances a full confession might be the very best thing for you? 481 Doped?
481Drunk again?
481Eh? 481 For thinking me stupid?
481Got tired of staying out in the cold-- eh?
481Had n''t I better wait here, ma''am, and look again?
481Has that man followed her here? 481 Have you a brother, may I ask?"
481Have you got another wife besides mummy?
481Have you looked in the shoe- bag, ma''am?
481Have you seen the playlet Charity at the Vaudeville?
481How could I, ma''am?
481How could you?
481How did you guess it?
481How did you know?
481How do you know I''ve ever seen her?
481How do you know it was empty?
481How do you know?
481How long since you''ve seen Mrs. Edward Ramsay?
481How much do you stick Obermuller for?
481How''ll I know you wo n''t tell her when I''m gone?
481How? 481 I know you would n''t be likely to make a mistake, but, just to convince me, do you mind letting me go back to look?"
481I want to ask you,I said,"if you remember selling a lot of good things to a little girl who had a purse this-- this morning?"
481I wonder why?
481I wonder,he said slowly, as he put them away in his own pocket,"what a man like me could do for a girl like you?"
481In heaven''s name, what can you see in a fellow like that?
481In here, Sergeant? 481 In order to insure for myself another of your most interesting visits, I suppose, Miss-- not Omar?
481Is a beauty success going to content you, Olden?
481Is he telling the truth?
481Is the baby asleep? 481 It is n''t?"
481It''s silly to fight the push, is n''t it? 481 Joke?"
481Just what is the charge?
481Look here, I give you one more chance,he squeaked;"if you don''t--""What''ll you do?"
481Look here, Nance, are you going to flunk? 481 Lord Harold''s here yet, and the jewels?"
481Me? 481 Miss Olden,"he said severely, coming over to my side of the table,"have you the heart to harm a generous soul like that?"
481Miss Olden?
481Miss-- Omar-- I wonder if it would be Miss Omar?
481Mr. Latimer does not find it so-- do you?
481Mr. Latimer,he stormed,"may I see you a moment alone?"
481Mrs. Kingdon--"Well, what do you want?
481Myself? 481 Nance Olden, the mimic, who entertains at private houses?"
481No-- was it?
481No? 481 Not Mrs. Edward Ramsay, of Philadelphia?"
481Now, assuming your innocence of the theft, Miss Olden, what is your theory; how do you account for the presence of that purse in your flat?
481Now, would you mind ringing again, Miss Omar?
481Number?
481Of course, you wo n''t accept?
481Oh, that''s what scared you, is it? 481 Oh, there is?
481Oh, you know the name?
481Oh-- yes? 481 Or is it Miss Murieson?
481Paper?
481Poverty and that sort of versatility are often bedfellows, eh?... 481 Prices gone up?"
481Say, where''s that stick- pin?
481Search''em all and then--"Search me? 481 Shall-- shall I call ye a hansom, lady?"
481She--"Changed her mind? 481 Sing Sing?"
481So it''s fifteen months since you''ve seen Mrs. Ramsay, eh?
481Tell me now, my dear, is there anything that an old clergyman can do for you? 481 That''s all, ma''am?"
481The reason?
481Then all he wants is a Lady?
481Then why the deuce did n''t you jump at Tausig''s offer? 481 Then you''re not ashamed of your profession?"
481Then-- it''s a mistake? 481 Then-- to- night-- if-- when you pray-- will you pray for me as if I was-- your own daughter?"
481To me? 481 Tom-- does-- doesn''t it mean anything to you?
481Warm, is n''t it?
481Was it a valuable paper?
481We''ve missed our train, anyway, have n''t we? 481 Well, what''s the matter with me?"
481Well, when you know yourself going down for the last time, do you mean to tell me you wo n''t grasp at a straw like-- like this?
481Well, why do n''t you make use of it? 481 Well,"he answered,"what the devil is there to be ashamed of now?"
481Well?
481Well?
481Well?
481What are your orders?
481What business is that of yours? 481 What for?"
481What good will that do?
481What is it you want me to do, Nance?
481What is it, ma''am?
481What name? 481 What sort of paper is this you miss?
481What the devil was there to be ashamed of?
481What would I do?
481What would you do, my child, if you had-- had missed your-- your father?
481What''re you doing with the paper?
481What''re you talking about?
481What''s doped you, Olden?
481What''s that to you?
481What''s the matter, Olden? 481 What''s your game, Olden?"
481What''s your graft? 481 What?"
481Where are you going?
481Where is this church? 481 Where was the purse?
481Where''s Mason?
481Who told you?
481Who''s bulling the stock?
481Why are n''t you in society, Nance?
481Why did they send you?
481Why did you keep me waiting so long? 481 Why do n''t you ask me where I got the coat, Bishop Van Wagenen?"
481Why does he call my father''Bishop'', mummy?
481Why the hell did n''t you light out?
481Why,I cried,"what kind of a girl could cut up like that when she was on the very edge of discovery?"
481Why? 481 Why?"
481Why?
481Will you tell me,he said,"how you-- your sister got Latimer to lie for her?"
481Wo n''t you come in, gentlemen, and spend the evening?
481Wo n''t you shake hands,I asked,"and wish me luck?"
481Would you mind coming nearer the window?
481Would you?
481Ye-- es, I guess he is; but where are the diamonds? 481 Yes, Mrs. Ramsay, waiting?"
481Yes-- what?
481Yes-- yes, what is it you want?
481You do? 481 You look so much like a boy I know that--""Do you really think so?"
481You notice the letter was marked personal?
481You wo n''t give it up then?
481You would n''t want to get her into trouble-- that little girl?
481You''d be in with the push, would you, Olden, if you were managing?
481You''re kiddin''me?
481You''re mighty smart, ai n''t you? 481 You''re sure nobody''ll come in?"
481You-- you are my daddy, ai n''t you?
481You-- you were at Mrs. Paul Gates''just a week ago, and you gave your specialties there?
481You.--boy-- confound you, ca n''t you hear?
481''And her coming for no reason at all to your house,''adds the Bishop.... Say, what was the reason?"
481*********** Oh, Mag-- Mag, how can I tell him?
481... Miss Omar, wo n''t you kindly reach the bell yonder-- no, on the table; that''s it-- and ring for some one to take the officer about?"
481Afraid-- me?
481After all, just what is there between you and them?
481Ai n''t I told you he''s on the toboggan?"
481Ai n''t he the gamest?
481Ai n''t you going to faint, Miss Olden?"
481Ai n''t you proud of him?"
481All right.... Tell me, can I do nothing for you?
481Ambitious, ai n''t you?"
481And Gray?
481And I?
481And did n''t the story sound thin?
481And do you know how to spend fifty thousand?
481And for how long a term-- I should say, engagement?"
481And have you really learned to remember it?
481And he is so clever; why, the plot of that comedy is the bulliest thing--""You''ve read it-- you remember it?"
481And the time is n''t so far off when, if you get her, you people will be--""Just how much is your interest in her worth?"
481And what did I do now?
481And what do I do?
481And what in the world would I want a paper of Tausig''s for?"
481And where do you get your nerve from, anyway?
481And why have n''t they missed it till after a week?"
481And you remember the dance the night before?
481And-- and do you know what she did, Mag?
481Are n''t you mistaken?"
481Are n''t you sick of this sort of life?"
481Are you going to set up as a lady- errant and right all syndicate wrongs?
481Are you holding out for higher stakes?
481Ashamed?
481Asleep?
481At about four o''clock I lit out, climbed to the second story and there-- Mag, I always was the luckiest girl at the Cruelty, was n''t I?
481Bamboozled the woman?
481Brophy''s?
481But I--""Wanted to get here in time for the wedding?"
481But do you know what I saw, Mag, beside his bed, just as Burnett came to put me out?
481But do you know what he did?
481But do you know what that little thing did?
481But do you suppose we cared?
481But had n''t I been carrying the key to it every minute for the last forty- eight hours?
481But how could I break my engagement with--""With Braun?"
481But how the deuce did you find it out?
481But it ca n''t be mine, can it?
481But it was her husband, so who could it be?
481But was n''t it like me to spoil it all by bubbling over?
481But we''ve got the-- What?
481But what could I do?
481But what could I do?"
481But with Tausig-- What?
481But, do you know, even then I could n''t bear to think of selling the pretty thing?
481But, tell me-- can a girl like you tell the truth?
481Ca n''t I get you a piece there as a souvenir of the Bishop''s kindness to me?"
481Ca n''t I please keep it on?"
481Ca n''t you drop in this evening and talk the matter over?
481Ca n''t you see him there, at bay, back on his haunches, cursing and cursed, alone in the everlasting black silence?
481Ca n''t you see that Obermuller''s just hiring her title and playing it in big letters on the bills for all it''s worth?
481Ca n''t you see the Syndicate aureole about his noble brow?
481Can I come in and get him?"
481Can she act?
481Can you fancy a fellow like Tausig stooping down to help me tenderly on board to divide the pickings?"
481Can you see him, Mag, sitting opposite me there at the pretty little table, off in a private room by ourselves?
481Can you see me there, standing on one leg like a stork, ready to lie or to fly at the first sound?
481Catch on, Mag?
481Caught?
481Chief''s office?
481Cocky?
481Come, answer the question: how long is it since you have seen the lady?"
481Come; what''ve you got in that smart little head of yours?
481Cool?
481D''ye know what heaven must be, Mag?
481Did Nora say that?"
481Did he expect me to say he was big and strong and dashing-- like Tom?
481Did she find out what a crook the fellow was?
481Did she recognize me?"
481Did you find a baby, too?"
481Do n''t I pay you enough?"
481Do n''t I seem a bit-- oh, just a bit nicer?"
481Do n''t you hate a soft- walking man, Mag?
481Do n''t you know a representative of the mighty T. T. when you see him?
481Do n''t you tumble yet?
481Do n''t you understand?
481Do you believe then that she did n''t have anything to do with the hotel robbery?
481Do you expect him to buy that great six- year contract and divvy the proceeds with me?
481Do you hear me?"
481Do you know how much that diamond''s worth?
481Do you know that''s a great graft, Mr. Obermuller-- lifting wholesale?
481Do you know what a society entertainer is, Miss Monahan?
481Do you know what happened?
481Do you know what he did?
481Do you know what it was?
481Do you know who it was?
481Do you know, Maggie darlin'', what I was saying to myself there in the box, while I watched the stage and waited for Obermuller?
481Do you suppose that woman was grateful?
481Do you think any boy''s fingers could do a job like that and me not even know?
481Do you think he tumbled?
481Do you want it?"
481Does he know as much about you as I do?"
481Does it look that way?
481Drop the Cruelty, and tell you about the stage?
481Enterprising, is n''t he?
481Ever hear a man like that say a thing like that?
481Ever see him?"
481Ever taste tea?
481Fail?
481For-- would you believe Tom Dorgan would turn out such a sorehead?
481Give it up or--""But what does he say I''ve taken?
481Good- by, then--""Oh, are you bound for the Cruelty, too?"
481Had n''t you better go home to Mrs. Dowager Diamonds?"
481Has he drilled you any, eh?
481Has she actually married him?"
481Have you the right to search any woman who walks in here?
481He could piece out the holes-- yes?"
481He do n''t love you-- no-- for shaking him?"
481He has sent you after me, has he?
481He seemed littler and leaner than ever, his little white beard scantier, his soft eye kindlier and his soft heart{?}
481He took the seat behind me, and leaning forward, said softly:"Is Miss Omar engaged to read to some invalid up at Sing Sing?
481Hello, Henrietta, back so soon from the opera?"
481Hold him till you come?
481How can you expect me to associate with you if you''re so ignorant?
481How dare you play me such a trick, Fred Obermuller?
481How did I know he had anything like that?
481How did he know about it, anyway?"
481How did his words explain his having his arm round the unfortunate child?
481How did it go?
481How did they look?
481How do you account for it; what is your theory?"
481How do you know they would n''t believe it?
481How sweet''s that, Tom Dorgan?
481How was I to get out of a second or third- story window?
481How''re ye fixed?
481How-- how did you get here?"
481I did n''t know she was there at all till--""Till?"
481I do n''t believe you could get Topham to budge from his chair in Gray''s dressing- room if you''d--""What''ll you bet?"
481I felt gay and excited and--""Not dreaming that that purse was sure to be found?"
481I gave them Warfield, then; I was always good at taking off the sheenies in the alley behind the Cruelty-- remember?
481I have often thought of you--""Oh, have you?"
481I might have jumped from the frying- pan?
481I never fainted in my life... Where is he now-- Tom Dorgan?"
481I say, let''s be friends; wo n''t you?"
481I wanted to kick up my heels as the children were doing in the Square, while the organ ground out, Ai n''t It a Shame?
481I was just about to permit her graciously to pay me the money,--for my friend?
481I was so crazily happy I had to, did n''t I?
481I''d like to read that comedy-- yes?"
481I''ll send for him to- night, just before Gray and her Lord come, and you see--""How''ll I see?
481If you had n''t been so smart with your tongue, you''d had more friends and not so many enemies in--""In the heavenly Syndicate, eh?
481If you''re wise you''ll draw deductions as to other things I know that you do n''t think I do.... And where did you see her?"
481In which of''em is my picture?
481Is n''t he white, Mag-- white clean through, that big fellow Obermuller?
481Is n''t it a joke, Edward?"
481Is n''t that funny?
481Is n''t that the limit?
481Is that what you call her?
481Is that you, Mag?
481It makes you feel awfully cocky, do n''t it?
481It works like--""What are you going to do; what can you do?"
481It''ll be the holiest blackmail that ever-- oh, and will you pay for the hansom?"
481It''ll have to be twice''steen, now, I suppose?"
481It''s only that she used to be able to think of only one thing, and now-- What do you suppose it is, Mag?
481It''s what are you going to do?"
481Lady Gray?
481Latimer?
481Look here, if you give it back to me this minute-- now-- I''ll not prosecute you for-- for--""For the sake of my reputation?"
481Mad?
481Mag, were you ever where you ought n''t to be at midnight-- alone?
481Me?
481Me?
481Me?
481Me?
481Miss Omar, sit down, wo n''t you?"
481Moriway?"
481Mrs. EDWARD RAMSAY Hush, hush, Mag; if you take on so, how can I tell you the rest?
481Mrs. Ramsay, you said?"
481My daughter Evelyn will be home to- morrow and-- why do n''t you look for it?"
481My hair was very heavy and long, and I had a chance to sit in a window at Troyon''s where they were advertising a hair tonic and--"Rotten?
481Nance Olden,"he turned suddenly on me, his manner changed and threatening,"what has become of that three hundred dollars?"
481Nance-- Nance, do n''t you see that there''s only one way out of this?
481Nat could have told her-- but what''s the use?
481No, truly; what I really saw?
481No?
481No?
481No?
481Nobody could be out there, could they?"
481Nothing, Sergeant?
481Now, what do you think of a woman like that?
481Now, why did you do all that?"
481Now, you know how early I got up yesterday to catch the train so''s Tom and I could come in with the people and be naturally mingling with them?
481O?"
481O?"
481Oh, Mag, ca n''t you see?
481Oh, what was I saying?
481Pretty smart, eh?
481Ramsay?"
481Remember how the place smelt of cleaning ammonia on the bare floors?
481Remember it all?
481Remember my wishing he''d have been a ventriloquist?
481Run like the devil--""Tommy--""Well, what?"
481Shall I fasten your dress?"
481Shall I tell Mrs. Ramsay how, Bishop?"
481Shall I tell your wife where you are, Edward?
481Shall we say good evening?
481She jumped at the idea, and left the room, only to come back again to whisper to me:"What name, my dear?"
481She thinks it ungenerous to accept such a sacrifice from a man who might be her son-- don''t you, mother?"
481She''s just round the corner at Mrs. Gates'', and-- what''s the matter?"
481She''s the girl I wanted for my daughter-- you''ll remember, it''s more than a year ago now since I began to talk about her?"
481Silken voice?
481Silly?
481So--"Why did n''t I lie?
481St. Francis-- that''s the jag ward, is n''t it?
481Stand for it?
481Still-- I... Just what would it be worth to you to have me out of the way?"
481Stock ca n''t be quoted so high, after all, if this is the best prospectus your friend can put up.... Why do n''t you call?"
481Suppose he got into that combine with Heffelfinger and Dixon and Weinstock?"
481Tell me, Mr. Moriway, these lost diamonds are yours?"
481That''s quite two hours ago-- haven''t I waited long enough?"
481The vain fool that gets it into his head-- or shall I say her head?
481The whole of it is full of horrible things-- it smells of the jail-- it looks like stripes-- it..."You''re not going to faint?"
481Then you run-- hear me?
481There is n''t any reason in the world for the fancies they take any more than for our own; eh, Mag?
481They may get away from you, but they never stay long, do they?
481Think I killed one guard and beat the other till I''d broke every bone in his body to come here and listen to such guff?
481Think I was going to flinch before a chump like Moriway, even if I had walked straight into his trap?
481Think of the pluck of that cripple, will you?
481Tom''s voice-- Mag, do you remember, the merry Irish boy''s voice, with its chuckles like a brook gurgling as it runs?
481Took it yourself?
481Trapped?
481V. Do you remember Lady Patronesses''Day at the Cruelty, Mag?
481Van?"
481Was n''t it clumsy of him?
481We did n''t learn much poetry at the Cruelty, did we, Mag?
481We do n''t like any noise made about these things, and you yourself would n''t enjoy--""Do you know who I am, young woman?"
481Well, I have lived without--""You have lived, but--""But where do I expect to go when I die?
481Well-- But the poor baby, how could he expect to see through a game that had caught the Dowager herself?
481What am I mooning about?
481What charge is there against me?
481What could I do,''cept just slip into the silk- lined beauty and set the toque on my head?
481What could I do?
481What d''ye think Tom Dorgan''d say to see half a page of Nancy Olden in the X- Ray?
481What d''ye think of your Tommy, old girl, eh?
481What did he mean?
481What did he see?
481What difference does it make?
481What is it, Mag?
481What kid?"
481What made you hesitate when that fellow told you with his eyes to murder me?"
481What might it be?"
481What of?
481What sort of hope could you imagine her treasuring for her own future?
481What to do?
481What was I to do?
481What was his name-- Morrison?
481What would he do to kill the time?
481What''s he stolen?
481What''s her name?
481What''s it to be between us?
481What''s that?
481What''s the use of being a kicker all your life?
481What''s up?"
481What''ve ye been doing all this time?
481What?
481When I saw you in the carriage downtown, with that poor, demented child, I thought, for just a moment-- oh, can you forgive me?
481Where is it now?
481Where not?
481Where shall we go-- Rector''s?"
481Where''ll I be?"
481Where?
481Which is your stage name, and which your real one?
481Which way?
481Who am I?
481Who came to my rescue?
481Who is it?
481Who with, now?"
481Who would look for Nancy Olden in the Bishop''s carriage?
481Who''ll I tell her?"
481Who?
481Who?
481Whose was it?
481Why did I lie to her?
481Why did I stand there?
481Why did n''t I tell it straight at the first, you dear old Mag?
481Why do n''t you get in?"
481Why should she have been attracted to me just because I was so undignified as to dance with the piccaninnies?
481Why would I?
481Why, Mag, how can you ever hope to get on if you do n''t know who''s who?
481Why, did n''t I tell you the very day we took this flat what a chaperon was, and that you''d have to be mine?
481Why, do you suppose?
481Why-- what did n''t I do?"
481Why?
481Why?
481Why?
481Why?
481Will you read to me now, if you please?"
481Would Miss Olden take the leading role, I wonder?
481Would n''t his eyes pop?
481Would you believe it?
481You are happy-- you are living worthily, child?
481You can sit back here and sneer at me, ca n''t you?
481You did n''t get anything else?"
481You did take them, you little wretch?"
481You do know it all, do n''t you?
481You do n''t mean to say you''re not on, Mag?
481You intended them for-- Him?
481You just want to be the first to go over, eh?
481You knew, did n''t you, it was true-- what I said downstairs?
481You know her, too?
481You know how I said it, Tom-- the way I told you after that last row that Dan Christensen was n''t near so good- looking as you-- remember?
481You recognize it?
481You spoke of Dorgan--""Did I?"
481You think you can wind me round your finger?"
481You were wrong and-- and I ca n''t be an actress?"
481You will accompany the Sergeant, Mr.--Moriway?"
481You would n''t like that, eh?"
481You''d think-- wouldn''t you-- that he''d have made an opportunity to say just one nice word to me in that easy, soft voice of his?
481You''ll help me, wo n''t you?
481You''ll not tell?"
481You''ve seen two peacocks spread their tails and strut as they pass each other?
481Your associates--""My associates?
481what name?"
61139Any lights in here?
61139Are they? 61139 Are you going to tell me where you''ve been?"
61139Are you leaving the office?
61139At this hour? 61139 But then it was n''t of any importance, was it, Shluh?"
61139Can you hit it?
61139Determined to hang yourselves, are n''t you?
61139Did you flee Groac and risk all on this slender thread?
61139Did you murder them, cut their throats, shoot them or bury them alive? 61139 Did you write all Whaffle''s letters for him, Miss Meuhl?"
61139Do n''t you see what you''re letting yourself in for? 61139 Guns?
61139How could we know?
61139How could you know a flotilla would show up in a few months looking for them, you mean? 61139 How did they die?"
61139How did you get it in here?
61139How did you shield it so the detectors did n''t pick it up?
61139How long would I have lasted in one of your Groaci prisons?
61139I take it you were n''t tempted?
61139I''m sure I have n''t pried into--"What about that Terrestrial cruiser? 61139 Killed in the crash landing?"
61139May I ask where you''ll be if something comes up?
61139May I present Shluh, of the Internal Police?
61139Not dead?
61139Seen a lot of freaks like me, have you?
61139Stepped off the ship with guns blazing, did they?
61139Tell me, Shluh, what happened to those six Terrestrials after the parade was over?
61139The range is n''t too great?
61139The ship?
61139They never found the cruiser, did they?
61139They''re alive?
61139To let me pass or to rot in this spot, fool?
61139To what end, Terrestrial? 61139 Was this your plan, Retief?"
61139What about this fellow?
61139What are you planning to do?
61139What did you do with it? 61139 What did you say to him?"
61139What do you know of Groacian naval vessels?
61139What do you mean?
61139What do you say we try it?
61139What do you seek?
61139What forlorn gesture is this?
61139What has this man told you?
61139What have you been doing? 61139 What in the world-- Where have you been?
61139What''s that ragged black line across the plain there?
61139Whatever for?
61139Where have you been?
61139Where is she, Fith? 61139 Where is that ship?"
61139Which of those boats are ready to lift?
61139Why did n''t you?
61139Why do you venture here?
61139Would it not be best if we removed this deranged person to a place of safety?
61139You mean when they came looking for the cruiser?
61139You mean you broke in? 61139 You never learn, do you?
61139You think to match orbits with the derelict? 61139 You''ll... lock him in his quarters?"
61139A close call, eh?"
61139A squad of armed Groaci in the consulate?"
61139And you--""Terrible?
61139Are they all fueled up?
61139Are you sure you meant to go this far, Miss Meuhl?
61139But we did not know what foods--""Did n''t take the trouble to find out, either, did you?"
61139But we have tried to make amends....""Where is the ship?"
61139Can you read me?
61139Did they''fall ill''before the big parade?"
61139Did those shuttles just get in, or is that the ready line?"
61139Did you mention the six Terrestrials who were killed here?"
61139Do n''t you understand the implication?
61139I certainly hope you''re not thinking of openly intruding--""Why?"
61139I wonder what a direct hit with a fifty mega- ton missile would do to it?"
61139Is this glimpse worth the death we die?"
61139No, no guns--""They raised their hands, did n''t they?
61139Research, maybe?
61139Retief?"
61139That was a shock, was n''t it?
61139The one that disappeared out this way about ten years back?"
61139Then what?
61139Were it not for your diplomatic immunity, I should do more--""Why did the government fall, Fith?
61139What amusing end did you figure out for them?
61139What happened to the rest of the crew?
61139What was behind the coup d''etat that put the present government in power?"
61139What''s happened to your clothing?"
61139Where did you get them?
61139Where did you hide the ship?
61139Where is it?"
61139Which is the''north''end of that crevasse?"
61139Without power?
61139You burgled the Foreign Office?"
61139involvement?"
61139it?"
61139that?"
43288''Killed him; but how?'' 43288 ''To Mona Bantry?''
43288A bundle of old papers in a garret,she thought, walking quickly through the lane;"where was the harm in reading them?
43288A novel?
43288About whom?
43288After five- and- twenty years? 43288 Ah, you intend to speak of the matter yourself?"
43288Ai nt you fond of murders, sir?
43288Am I about to lose my small income of five hundred a year?
43288Am I not to speak to him?
43288Am I to ask Hilliston about this woman?
43288And Denis?
43288And Hilliston?
43288And afterward?
43288And for her sake he had deceived me all these years?
43288And his daughter lives with him?
43288And how do you intend to see him?
43288And how was I to know, sir?
43288And is he at The Laurels still?
43288And now, what do you intend to do?
43288And on that slight ground you suppose that Mona killed him?
43288And the garnet scarfpin mentioned in the novel?
43288And the point of your parable?
43288And then?
43288And what am I to do in the meantime?
43288And what of that, sir? 43288 And where is Denis Bantry?
43288And why should n''t he, sir?
43288And why, may I ask?
43288And why? 43288 And you knew her by that?"
43288And you replied?
43288And you will introduce me to her father?
43288And, indeed, sir, what else could I do,said Denis, wiping the tears from his eyes,"when I saw the poor thing lying there like a corpse?
43288Anything else, sir?
43288Anything important?
43288Are they alive, after all?
43288Are they reconciled?
43288Are they? 43288 Are you a mind reader?"
43288Are you in earnest? 43288 Are you not famous now?
43288Are you so bad as all that?
43288Are you sure?
43288Are you surprised that I should know it?
43288As to the first, he will call at my rooms to find out if we have gone to see Mrs. Bezel to- night, and----"Why at your rooms?
43288At that rate why let her read''A Whim of Fate''?
43288Augh, did you now, sir? 43288 Augh,"said Kerry gruffly,"you do n''t want it known that you were in the garden on that night, sir?"
43288Boy-- boy, can you not guess who I am?
43288But his motive?
43288But if they learn that I was with you on that night?
43288But if this Dick Pental saw the crime committed, why did n''t he come forward and tell about it?
43288But surely Hilliston knew you would call as soon as you arrived?
43288But surely my father was sufficiently sensible to see all this?
43288But the acts of Hilliston?
43288But what can she have to confess?
43288But who could have told it to Miss Paynton?
43288But why did n''t Dick relate what he saw?
43288But why did you let Hilliston bring me up to think I was an orphan?
43288But why is he hiding here under another name?
43288But why should he remain?
43288But why should she think I have anything to do with the case?
43288But why would n''t he have denounced Denis?
43288But why? 43288 But you must have some suspicions?"
43288But you?
43288But your business?
43288By the way, who is Miss Paynton, who now seems to be mixed up in the matter?
43288Ca n''t you guess? 43288 Ca n''t you guess?
43288Ca n''t you guess? 43288 Ca n''t you guess?
43288Ca n''t you guess?
43288Can I come also?
43288Can you ask? 43288 Can you doubt it?
43288Can you doubt it?
43288Can you not guess from what you see here?
43288Can you not see? 43288 Claude La----What do you mean, Mr. Tait?
43288Confound it, what do you mean?
43288Could you not let me see it?
43288Did Hilliston love you?
43288Did Mr. Hilliston know she was alive?
43288Did Mrs. Hilliston give you her opinion as to who was guilty?
43288Did he question you?
43288Did he say who owned it?
43288Did it concern your parents?
43288Did my name produce any effect?
43288Did not Hilliston tell you? 43288 Did not Jeringham show it to you when you joined him in the garden?"
43288Did not Mr. Linton tell you?
43288Did you not think it strange that I should be in possession of such a report?
43288Did you take the incident from real life?
43288Did you tell her that we suspected Hilliston?
43288Did you think of mine during all these lonely years?
43288Do you believe he committed that cowardly crime of twenty- five years ago?
43288Do you bring bad news? 43288 Do you dare to speak thus of your mother, sir?"
43288Do you know her, sir?
43288Do you know him?
43288Do you know what I''m thinking, sir?
43288Do you prefer beer or claret?
43288Do you really think he came here to ask Miss Paynton to keep silence?
43288Do you really think he is my enemy, Tait?
43288Do you remember Jeringham?
43288Do you still doubt him?
43288Do you then wish me to accept this invitation?
43288Do you think I can do so?
43288Do you think I valued this splendor? 43288 Do you think Mona committed the crime?"
43288Do you think he can solve the mystery?
43288Do you think such information will lead to any result?
43288Do you think that was necessary?
43288Do you think the stone was thrown from there?
43288Do you think we will learn anything from him?
43288Does Hilliston love my wife?
43288Does Mrs. Bezel know the truth?
43288Does my mother know where he is?
43288Does she know anything of my family?
43288Does she know to whom it belonged?
43288Does she not want to see Jenny, father?
43288Does the master know?
43288Does this letter suggest anything to you?
43288Father,cried Jenny, turning toward the old man with an appealing gesture,"have I done wrong?"
43288First tell us why you declared yourself to be my mother?
43288For what purpose?
43288For what reason?
43288For what reason?
43288Francis?
43288From Miss Paynton?
43288Has your visit anything to do with-- with that novel?
43288Have n''t they got their own way now?
43288Have you any idea who committed the crime?
43288Have you been here long?
43288Have you had breakfast, Larcher?
43288Have you heard from him?
43288Have you not ruined me, have you not deserted me, have you not robbed me of all that I loved? 43288 Have you read it?"
43288Have you weighed the cost of your action?
43288He was never found again?
43288Hostile? 43288 How are you this evening, Margaret?"
43288How can I, if he wishes to betray me?
43288How could you be expected to know? 43288 How dare you speak thus?
43288How did Hilliston receive you?
43288How did Jeringham obtain possession of the dagger?
43288How did Mrs. Hilliston know you were Captain Larcher? 43288 How did he come, miss?"
43288How did you get inside the gate? 43288 How did you know the man on the ground was Captain Larcher?"
43288How do you do, Miss Paynton?
43288How do you know that Mr. Hilliston showed me the papers?
43288How do you know that is the name of the paper?
43288How do you know that, Claude?
43288How do you know that, when you did not see the blow struck? 43288 How do you know that?"
43288How do you know that?
43288How do you know this?
43288How do you know?
43288How do you make that out?
43288How does he know of that, miss?
43288How should I know?
43288How was it that my father was dressed as Darnley?
43288How was that?
43288How?
43288I did not kill him,replied the captain quietly,"and as a counter question, may I ask why you passed yourself off to Claude as my wife?"
43288I do,said Claude, rather surprised at this penetration;"do you know him?"
43288I have only been vicar here for a year,answered Brandon cordially;"but what are you doing at Horriston, my friend?"
43288I presume it was all new to her?
43288I suppose that episode is fiction?
43288I wonder if John Parver is Mark Jeringham?
43288I wonder what he has to say?
43288I wonder who Paynton can be?
43288I wonder why Hilliston told that lie about the scarfpin, Tait?
43288I wonder why she committed suicide?
43288If Denis intended to deny that my father was in the house on that night, why should he induce Jeringham to fly?
43288If so, why did he not denounce him?
43288If they are innocent, who is guilty?
43288If you think so, why go to Horriston?
43288In gold?
43288In that case, how was it that Mrs. Larcher was arrested?
43288Indeed,said Larcher, in some surprise at this cavalier treatment,"and what do you intend to do?"
43288Is Denis here?
43288Is anything wrong?
43288Is it connected with our enterprise?
43288Is it not true-- am I not an orphan?
43288Is it of anything important?
43288Is it the skeptical misogynistic Tait I hear speaking?
43288Is it to me ye speak?
43288Is it true?
43288Is it, indeed?
43288Is she in love with our author?
43288Is she such a Tartar?
43288Is that fact or fiction?
43288Is that the description of the scarfpin?
43288Is there anyone in the neighborhood you think is he?
43288Is this true?
43288It was a real case, was n''t it?
43288Jenny,asked Linton, with some apprehension,"has your father read the book?"
43288Jenny?
43288Jeringham-- Denis, the valet-- Hilliston?
43288Jeringham?
43288John Parver?
43288Louisa, do you wish to ruin me?
43288Man or woman?
43288Man or woman?
43288Margaret,he said entreatingly,"why do you speak like this?
43288Markham is Jeringham, is he not?
43288Mr. Tait,she cried, with a sudden flush,"surely you are not biased by Frank''s book?
43288My dear boy, why should he? 43288 My dear fellow, why did you go out?"
43288My dear friend, can you ask? 43288 My father?"
43288My mistress wants to know if you have the third volume of''A Whim of Fate,''sir?
43288My sister?
43288No scandal about Queen Elizabeth, I hope?
43288No? 43288 Now, why should you say that?"
43288Of love? 43288 Oh, Miss Paynton told you,"said Tait smoothly;"and where did she see the account of this crime?"
43288Oh, by the way, would you like to go to the Curtain Theater to- night?
43288Oh, nothing, only I must compliment you on your-- shall we say selection or invention?
43288On business,murmured Hilliston uneasily;"anything to do with this case you have taken up?"
43288Queer thing, is n''t it?
43288Remorse? 43288 Saw what?
43288She-- she told you that?
43288Since Frank makes no secret of it, why should I? 43288 Succeed in what?"
43288Surely you did not expect to see me?
43288Surely you do not think that my wife was at Horriston twenty- five years ago, or that she knows aught of this crime save what I have told her?
43288That is very clever, Kerry,he said;"but----""An''how do you know my name is Kerry?"
43288That you are my mother is no doubt true, but I ask you if you have performed your maternal duties? 43288 The author of''A Whim of Fate,''"asked Claude eagerly,"is he in town?"
43288The last of her?
43288The murder being committed?
43288Then how did she supply Linton with the materials for this book?
43288Then it was Hilliston who brought Jenny to you?
43288Then my mother?
43288Then who is guilty?
43288Then why was my father jealous of Jeringham?
43288Then you deny that you are Denis Bantry?
43288Then you think Denis is guilty?
43288Then your father does not yet know what a celebrated son he has?
43288Thinking of who?
43288To Ferdinand Paynton?
43288To arrive at what conclusion?
43288To church-- on a week- day?
43288To see you, father?
43288To what end? 43288 Was I, now?"
43288Was he not in love with my mother before she married my father?
43288Was it Mr. Hilliston who made the remark?
43288Was it wise of you to tell her?
43288Was she disappointed at my non- appearance?
43288Was that scarfpin episode fictitious?
43288Was this the generally received opinion at the time?
43288Well, Claude, will you accept me as your brother detective in this matter?
43288Well, sir,said the latter impatiently,"what is your opinion?"
43288Well,he said, smiling,"was I not right when I said that he would make the first move?"
43288Well,repeated Tait sharply,"ca n''t you see?
43288Well,said Claude, as Tait silently returned the letter,"what do you think?"
43288Well?
43288Well?
43288Were you a friend of my parents, madam?
43288What about our theater to- night?
43288What am I to understand by''already,''Miss Paynton?
43288What are their names?
43288What are we to do about Jenny? 43288 What are you going to do now?"
43288What are you talking about?
43288What did you shout out about?
43288What do you conclude from that, sir?
43288What do you intend to do?
43288What do you intend to tell him?
43288What do you know of Louisa Sinclair?
43288What do you mean, Tait? 43288 What do you mean?"
43288What do you mean?
43288What do you mean?
43288What do you mean?
43288What do you mean?
43288What do you mean?
43288What do you mean?
43288What do you think of John Parver?
43288What do you think of it?
43288What do you think of this communication, Claude?
43288What do you think yourself?
43288What does he mean by that? 43288 What does that mean, sir?"
43288What for?
43288What for?
43288What has he to do with the matter?
43288What is Denis Bantry doing there if Paynton is Jeringham? 43288 What is curious?
43288What is her opinion of the matter? 43288 What is it,_ alannah_?"
43288What is it?
43288What is it?
43288What is that?
43288What is that?
43288What is the prevailing passion with the Athenian at present?
43288What is up now?
43288What is wrong?
43288What is your own opinion?
43288What kind of a man is he to look at?
43288What makes you think that?
43288What of her, Kerry?
43288What of that? 43288 What of that?"
43288What of that?
43288What secret?
43288What shall I talk about?
43288What use can it be to him?
43288What were you saying about Horriston, Claude?
43288What will it be?
43288What-- what-- what do you mean? 43288 What?"
43288When do you leave?
43288Where are you going?
43288Where can I find an eye- witness?
43288Where did you go after leaving Horriston?
43288Where does he live?
43288Where is Horriston?
43288Where is he now?
43288Where?
43288Who asked you about it?
43288Who committed the crime in the actual case?
43288Who could help being interested in so clever a book?
43288Who do you think committed the crime, then?
43288Who is Jenny Paynton?
43288Who is John Parver?
43288Who is making the objections now?
43288Who is she?
43288Who is suspicious now?
43288Who is the criminal?
43288Who is this old lady?
43288Who was he? 43288 Who was the Man in the Iron Mask?"
43288Who was the other man?
43288Why did he assume a_ nom de plume_?
43288Why did you do that? 43288 Why do n''t you tell this to the world, and so confound the critics?"
43288Why do you ask that?
43288Why do you ask? 43288 Why have ye come here again, sir?"
43288Why have you come here at this hour?
43288Why is n''t your friend Tait here to- night?
43288Why not take her to Horriston?
43288Why not, if the plow wo n''t move?
43288Why not, sir?
43288Why not? 43288 Why not?
43288Why not?
43288Why object to her reading the third volume?
43288Why should I dress? 43288 Why should I repeat it?"
43288Why should I? 43288 Why should I?"
43288Why should it not be true? 43288 Why should n''t he?"
43288Why so? 43288 Why so?"
43288Why unfortunately? 43288 Why was n''t the scarfpin produced at the trial?"
43288Why was the bundle of newspapers containing an account of the murder found in his house? 43288 Why, is n''t Jenny the daughter of Paynton, and is n''t he my father?"
43288Why? 43288 Why?"
43288Why?
43288Why?
43288Why?
43288Why?
43288Why?
43288Why?
43288Why?
43288Wo n''t you come, too?
43288Wo n''t you have some luncheon?
43288Would it not be better to let sleeping dogs lie?
43288Would it not have been wiser for him to fly?
43288Yes,said Mr. Hilliston interrogatively;"and what do you think of the matter?"
43288Yet he told you about the scarfpin?
43288You are not going to deny me, Denis, are you?
43288You are not going to turn back after putting your hand to the plow?
43288You cold- blooded little monster,he cried, tapping on the table,"will you satisfy my curiosity?"
43288You do n''t think it is Hilliston?
43288You got my last letter?
43288You have many celebrities here to- night, I presume?
43288You have never heard of her?
43288You lived at Horriston? 43288 You love him still?"
43288You saw the friend who was with me in the cart, Miss Paynton?
43288You speak to me like that,cried Mrs. Bezel angrily;"to your mother?"
43288You spoke to Kerry on the subject?
43288You surely have some suspicion, mother?
43288You want my help?
43288You want to see her?
43288You were greatly affected by my father''s death?
43288You were, then, an eye- witness?
43288You will help me, Tait? 43288 You will tell him who you are?"
43288You, then, think that Mrs. Larcher was privy to the murder?
43288You, too, condemn me?
43288You?
43288You?
43288Your father?
43288Your mother?
43288Your own money?
43288A Blot of Ink 75 50 BECKETT, C. H. Who is John Noman?
43288A friend of your father was also suspected and----""And proved innocent?"
43288After a pause he said:"And who is this Louisa Sinclair you make such a point of my mentioning to Paynton?"
43288Ah, and why should you look surprised at that, Mr. Tait?
43288And ai nt I done a lot for the place?
43288And if you do,"continued the little man earnestly,"if you do, what possible pleasure can you derive from such a solution?
43288And the second move?"
43288And we go to Thorston to- morrow?"
43288And what more have you to say in connection with that affair?"
43288And what motive does he ascribe to me, or rather to Michael Dene, for the committal of the crime?"
43288And what was the connection between him and her sole surviving parent?
43288And where might Horriston be, sir?"
43288And who, indeed, can understand a woman''s heart; who can aver that he has a complete comprehension of her character?
43288And why?"
43288And you-- what did you do?"
43288And you?"
43288Are you a householder?"
43288Are you mad?
43288Are you mad?"
43288As it was Written 1 00 50"Grandison Mather 1 25 50"Latin- Quarter Courtship 75 50"Mrs. Peixada 1 00 50"The Two Voices 50.."Two Women or One?
43288At the time of the murder?"
43288Bezel?"
43288Bezel?"
43288Bezel?"
43288Bland?"
43288But did I solve it properly?
43288But how could she know unless she had been concealed, like Dick Pental, in the garden on that night?
43288But how in the name of Olympian Jove did you induce Hilliston to do this?"
43288But if I could not do it at the moment, how can I hope to do so now-- after so long a period has elapsed?"
43288But my parents----""What of them?"
43288But she is now dead?"
43288But what about Hilliston''s introduction of Claude to me?
43288But what have they to do with Margaret Bezel-- or Mrs. Bezel, as I suppose she is called?
43288But who is guilty?"
43288But with what purpose?"
43288By the way, I suppose you''ll stay with him to- night?"
43288By the way, did you see that she changed color when you mentioned that Hilliston had been my guardian?"
43288By the way, does Miss Jenny know she is not the daughter of your master?"
43288By the way, is Mrs. Hilliston a pure- blooded Yankee?"
43288By the way, when do you see him?"
43288By the way, who does he say committed the crime?"
43288By the way,"added Hilliston, as though struck with a sudden thought,"what was my wife saying to you at the door?"
43288Can Such Things Be?
43288Can it be possible that the scarfpin belonged to Hilliston and was dropped by him in the garden of The Laurels on the night of the struggle?
43288Can you describe his appearance?"
43288Can you give me the required information?"
43288Can you not see-- can you not guess?
43288Can you then expect me to yield you that filial obedience which every mother has a right to expect from her son?
43288Captain Larcher, was n''t it, sir, and his wife, a sweetly pretty woman?
43288Could you expect that unhappy woman to face the scorn and contempt of the world after having been accused of her husband''s murder?
43288Denis Bantry is in your service under the name of Kerry, and----""How do you know that?"
43288Did it endure?
43288Did she see you at Thorston?"
43288Did you relate our conversation with Linton?"
43288Did you tell your father that Mrs. Larcher was still in existence?"
43288Do you agree?
43288Do you call a lion of the season by so opprobrious a name?"
43288Do you intend to see him now?
43288Do you know anyone in this parish called Miss Louisa Sinclair?"
43288Do you know him?
43288Do you know him?"
43288Do you know it?"
43288Do you know the story of Mozart?"
43288Do you know what I am about to do?"
43288Do you know who I am?"
43288Do you know who killed him?"
43288Do you not approve of my decision?"
43288Do you not remember?
43288Do you stay here long?"
43288Do you think I would invent a story like that to asperse the memory of your father?
43288Do you think Michael Dene committed the crime?"
43288Do you think Mrs. Hilliston knows anything of the case?"
43288Do you think him guilty of the crime?"
43288Do you think she is about to betray her husband?"
43288Do you think that Markham-- Jeringham really committed the murder?"
43288Do you think we ought to proceed?"
43288Do you think you can give a better?
43288Does Mrs. Hilliston know about my father''s death?"
43288Does it matter?"
43288For what reason?
43288Got a good memory?"
43288Had Claude discovered the identity of Paynton with Jeringham?
43288Had I nothing to forgive him?
43288Has Mr. Hilliston come over to see papa about the Larcher affair?"
43288Has he not married Jenny, and does he not stand in the relation of a son to the old man?
43288Has it come to that?"
43288Has the lady informed you who committed the crime?"
43288Have I done anything wrong in-- in----""In telling the case to Linton?"
43288Have I not implored, threatened, beseeched, commanded-- done everything in my power to make you hold your peace?
43288Have you any objection?"
43288Have you any reason for wanting to see her?"
43288Have you any recollection of a murder which took place at The Laurels twenty- five years ago?"
43288Have you been reading''A Whim of Fate''?"
43288Have you fallen into bad habits at your age?"
43288He did return from London on that night?"
43288He is Denis, sure enough, but who is Paynton?"
43288He kill Captain Larcher?
43288Hilliston?"
43288Hilliston?"
43288Hilliston?"
43288Hilliston?"
43288Hilliston?"
43288Hilliston?"
43288Hilliston?"
43288His riverence?"
43288How could Jeringham have found it?"
43288How did he obtain that?"
43288How do you do, sir?"
43288How do you intend to proceed?
43288How do you intend to set about it?"
43288How do you make that out?"
43288How is that?"
43288How old is she?"
43288I see no reason in his flight, and yet if he were guilty and Hilliston knew him to be guilty why should he try and screen him at the present time?
43288I suppose you explained that the story was founded on fact?"
43288I suppose?"
43288I wonder what has become of Mona Bantry and her child?
43288If Hilliston did not love Mrs. Larcher, what possible motive could he have to kill Jeringham?
43288If Hilliston killed Larcher why should Jeringham fly?
43288If Mrs. Bezel killed her husband why should Jeringham fly?
43288If he was innocent why did he fly?"
43288If so, had Jeringham confessed to the crime?
43288If the lawyer is not afraid, why should he tell a deliberate lie?
43288If they did, what does it matter?
43288If you took all this trouble to hide the truth, why reveal it to me now?"
43288In the_ Canterbury Observer_, I believe?"
43288Is Mrs. Hilliston any happier in her splendid house at Kensington Gore than I in this miserable cottage?
43288Is it because she is the niece of an old soldier like me?"
43288Is it not an all- sufficient one for you to pause?"
43288Is it your business or mine?"
43288Is it your intention and Claude''s to go on with the case?"
43288Is she to be informed that her mother is yet alive?"
43288Is that his real name?"
43288Is that reason to be found at Clarence Cottage in Hampstead?
43288Is there any clew to guide you in the discovery that your mother still lives?"
43288Jeringham?"
43288Jeringham?"
43288John Parver, novelist, the lion of the season, an idiot?
43288Larcher?"
43288Larcher?"
43288Linton?"
43288Linton?"
43288Meanwhile is it on account of this girl that you have decided to abandon the case?"
43288Might it not be true that Hilliston was the secret lover of the wife and the murderer of the husband?
43288Mr. Tait, can I speak with you a minute?"
43288Mrs. Larcher, Denis Bantry, his sister, Hilliston, and Mark Jeringham; who had killed the unfortunate husband?
43288Now I know Mr. Hilliston as guardian, lawyer, and banker, but who is Margaret Bezel?"
43288Now, do you see what you have done?"
43288Now, is it settled?"
43288Now, then, what is it all about?"
43288Now, why do you wish to learn all about that Larcher crime?"
43288Oh, where can she be?"
43288Parver?"
43288Paynton?"
43288Quite idyllic, is n''t it?"
43288Ruin you?"
43288So long as I was healthy and handsome and bright your attentions continued, but when I was reduced to this state, ten years ago, what did you do?
43288So much for the first obstacle, and the second?"
43288So you are married?"
43288So you intend to marry her?"
43288So you still intend to pursue the matter?"
43288Something to do with a ring, is n''t it?"
43288Still, if I were you I would not keep him informed of all our movements, unless----Do you intend to go on with the matter?"
43288Story of Francis Cludde 1 00 50"The Man in Black 1 00.. WOOLF, PHILIP, M. D. Who is Guilty?
43288Tait did so, and Hilliston continued:"Is my character in the book?"
43288Tait?"
43288Tait?"
43288The action was compulsory on the part of Hilliston?"
43288The dagger must have been lost at the ball, and picked up by-- whom?
43288The law of compensation, eh?"
43288The murder?"
43288The question is, who picked it up?
43288The same as Linton''s, I suppose?"
43288The second time to- day, is it not?"
43288Then you have seen him already?"
43288Then, when the man leaving the room closed the door after him, and they found themselves alone, he continued:"Is anything wrong, Claude?
43288There is nothing wrong, I hope?
43288There will be musical parties and lawn tennis_ fêtes_, so in some way or another we may find out the truth?"
43288To wait his coming out?"
43288Was a scarfpin of garnets really found in the grounds of The Laurels?"
43288Was it any wonder, then, that she should turn to her old friend for consolation?
43288Was n''t the account of it all over Horriston twenty- five years ago?"
43288Was she also an eye- witness?"
43288Was that your idea or Linton''s?"
43288Well?"
43288What a pity your lunatic did not wake up a few minutes earlier so as to see who struck the blow and thus have settled the matter?
43288What are you talking about, Tait?
43288What are your immediate plans?"
43288What became of it?"
43288What can be his reason for such persistent seclusion?"
43288What could be wrong?"
43288What did it all mean?
43288What do you know about her?"
43288What do you make of that?"
43288What do you think of the hint therein contained?"
43288What else could I do?
43288What else disturbs your mind?"
43288What follows?
43288What harm can my investigations do to him?"
43288What has she to do with the case?
43288What have you?
43288What if Louisa Sinclair had?
43288What is Denis Bantry doing there if Paynton is not Jeringham?"
43288What is Mr. Hilliston to my father?"
43288What is he doing with the master?"
43288What is this you tell me?
43288What is your reason?
43288What makes you think that?"
43288What reason could she have for taking more than a passing interest in the tragic story?
43288What was the meaning of her father''s words?
43288What was the meaning of those terrible words?
43288Where are we going now?"
43288Where are you going?"
43288Where are you staying?"
43288Where is he?"
43288Where is her grave, sir?"
43288Who are you telling about?"
43288Who can say?"
43288Who can tell me the truth?"
43288Who cares for a musty, fusty old crime of five- and- twenty years ago?
43288Who committed the crime?"
43288Who do you think I am?"
43288Who is John Parver?"
43288Who is he?
43288Who is he?"
43288Who is he?"
43288Who is he?"
43288Who is she?
43288Who is she?"
43288Who killed my father?"
43288Who threw it?"
43288Who was guilty of the crime?
43288Why did you kill him, sir?"
43288Why did you not show him up?"
43288Why do you wish to know him?"
43288Why does she want to see me?"
43288Why go into the lion''s den?
43288Why had Mr. Hilliston come over from Eastbourne to request her silence?
43288Why is not her name mentioned in these pages?"
43288Why not call on her?"
43288Why not?
43288Why should he do so?
43288Why should he turn and kill him without a cause?"
43288Why should you?"
43288Why, after ten years, should she pale at the mention of the neighborhood?
43288Why?"
43288Will you promise to withhold your confession for the time I ask?"
43288With the real names?"
43288Would it not have been to his interest to keep us apart?"
43288Yes, you mentioned the name of Tait,"said Jenny quietly;"but what does it matter?
43288You also know the name of the case?"
43288You believe this story of your father''s death?"
43288You do n''t happen to know where Denis Bantry is, sir, do you?
43288You intend to speak with John Parver?"
43288You will stand by me?"
43288You''ve not married, I suppose?"
43288are you here?"
43288at first sight?
43288cried Claude, in surprise;"and how did you manage to take his castle by storm?"
43288cried Linton, in a startled tone;"what will he say when he finds out that you and I have made use of them?"
43288he cried, hastening toward him;"what is the matter?
43288he cried,"is it possible that you still live?"
43288he demanded, after a pause;"stay in town, or make another dash for the wilds?"
43288is she on the stage again?"
43288remarked Tait sarcastically,"is that the result of reflection or of love?"
43288replied Kerry, with an admirable look of surprise;"and what has the like of you, sir, to say to me?"
43288said Hilliston nervously;"you have something to tell me?"
43288said he not unkindly,"sits the wind in that quarter?
43288what do you mean?"
43288what have I to do with Frank''s success?"
5007''Shall I tell you a fact, sir, about yourself?'' 5007 A fake?"
5007An explosive mixture?
5007And Madame de Nevers''s maid? 5007 And Madame de Nevers?"
5007And are the pipes leading air down into the tunnel perfectly straight?
5007And forgive me for suspecting you,replied Kazanovitch,"but how did you come to shadow Kharkoff?"
5007And give just one plausible reason why you wished so much to have it known that you were going to Palm Beach when in reality you were in New York?
5007And have you?
5007And how much does Miss Lovelace know?
5007And if you find out, will you go with me to that house near Chatham Square, providing it was some one in that gang?
5007And it works?
5007And let those higher up escape while their tools take all the blame?
5007And names?
5007And the girl?
5007And then?
5007And to whom may it be dangerous?
5007And what for Heaven''s sake does it reveal?
5007And you have no idea why it was there?
5007And you have no trace of him?
5007And you think you can make good?
5007And you-- are you going or coming?
5007And your husband''s?
5007Any word from Chicago yet?
5007Are you game to go inside?
5007At least, under what name was she registered?
5007Besides her liking for Dudley Lawton and her rather romantic nature, there are no other things in her life that would cause a desire for freedom?
5007Brass knuckles?
5007But how did you do it?
5007But the flames which the night watchman saw, what of them?
5007But what excuse are you going to have for getting into this yegg- resort?
5007But what has happened since to arouse suspicion?
5007But what made you anticipate it?
5007But why do you connect that incident with this case of Madame de Nevers?
5007But you have a pretty good description of her, one that you could send out in order to find her if necessary?
5007But you have no reason to think that there has ever been any secret communication between them? 5007 But, you may ask, how about the automobile picture?
5007But,asked Kennedy sympathetically,"what makes you think that you will find your man, whoever he proves to be, in New York?"
5007But,persisted the coroner,"if she was murdered by the use of chloroform, how do you account for the fact that it was done without a struggle?
5007But--"And you are prepared now to make another affidavit to that effect?
5007By what right do you stop me? 5007 Ca n''t you think up a scheme?
5007Ca n''t you turn on the lights?
5007Can I help you in any way?
5007Can you come along?
5007Can you get me a couple of old telephone instruments?
5007Could chloroform be discovered in the lungs or viscera after so many days? 5007 Could he have cast her off when he found that in spite of her parents''protests she was still in his power?"
5007Could they have left the goods in Paris, after all?
5007Could you tell me anything about a Madame de Nevers who was staying at the Vanderveer?
5007Craig Kennedy?
5007Craig, do you know how I found him? 5007 Craig,"I remonstrated,"you do n''t mean to say you attach any importance to vapourings like that?
5007Did n''t I tell you?
5007Did she have any visitors? 5007 Did she leave any card or message?
5007Do n''t you know it is dangerous to smoke in compressed air?
5007Do n''t you suppose I know all that? 5007 Do you feel better in the air?"
5007Do you know who that woman was?
5007Do you remember that scene in''The Grass Widower,''he said slowly,"where Jack Delarue meets his runaway wife at the masquerade ball?"
5007Do you see those blots on the back? 5007 Do you suppose some one has broken in and substituted this Lytton letter for the Thurston letter?"
5007Do you suppose the Duc de Chateaurouge would be able to identify her?
5007Do you think he could have kept up the acquaintance secretly?
5007Ever been in Danbridge?
5007Fine,said Kennedy,"and can you produce him at any time when it is necessary?"
5007Forgery insurance?
5007Good heavens, man, what has happened?
5007Had Miss Lytton any enemies whom you think of, people who were jealous of her professionally or personally?
5007Has n''t this farce been allowed to go far enough? 5007 Has nothing in her actions about the hotel offered any clue, no matter how slight?"
5007Have n''t you heard? 5007 Have you any copies of the forged certificates?"
5007Have you ever met Saratovsky?
5007Have you yourself seen any evidences of rival influences hindering the work?
5007He''s coming to see you today, is n''t he?
5007His word? 5007 How about the affidavits?
5007How about the handwriting?
5007How are you fixed for a little trip out to Riverwood?
5007How can I? 5007 How did you get it?
5007How did you get your first hint?
5007How do you know he opened it?
5007How is Saratovsky?
5007How was the body discovered?
5007I beg your pardon,began Craig as we came to a turn in the shadow of the arc lights,"but have you a match?"
5007I do n''t suppose Scotland Yard has neglected to furnish you with photographs and a description of this Forbes?
5007I guess that winds the case up, eh?
5007I have reason to believe that the duke is in this country incognito-- is he not?
5007I may keep it?
5007I may keep these to study at my leisure?
5007I shall want to see you early to- morrow, and,--might I ask you to be sure to wear that hat which you have on?
5007I suppose Dawson was a man of exemplary habits? 5007 I suppose they told nearly all the story, but what caused her death?
5007I suppose you have heard nothing?
5007I suppose you have heard of the''endormeurs''of Paris?
5007I suppose you have no objections to my doing so?
5007I suppose you have shadowed them ever since?
5007I, identify her? 5007 Is Mr. Gonzales in?"
5007Is Professor Kennedy coming soon?
5007Is Professor Kennedy here?
5007Is n''t it enough that some of the newspapers have said so? 5007 Is there anything else that you wish to say?"
5007Is this Professor Kennedy?
5007It was true about the jar of ammonia?
5007Just what is it that you suspect?
5007Just what makes you think that there is a firebug-- one firebug, I mean-- back of this curious epidemic of fires?
5007Louise, shall I tell you a secret? 5007 May I count on having this note for further examination, of course always at such times and under such conditions as you agree to?"
5007Might I ask,interrupted Kennedy,"what that curious greenish or bluish light from the tube is composed of?"
5007Might I have some of your writings to look over in the meantime?
5007Might I try one or two reactions with that sample?
5007Mr. Kennedy,exclaimed the house man deferentially,"are you very busy just now?"
5007Mrs. Branford,exclaimed Blake, advancing and bowing most profoundly,"I trust that you understand my awkward position?
5007Must my every act be watched and misrepresented? 5007 Nitrogen?"
5007No?
5007Not dead?
5007Not the worst? 5007 Now, how did the robber get in?
5007Now, what do you suppose that was for?
5007Now,continued Kennedy suavely,"what COULD happen?
5007Oh, Mr. Kennedy, why did you ask me to do this?
5007Operator, give me the south tube-- quick-- what-- they do n''t answer?
5007Or have ye had enough of the air? 5007 Or perhaps you have caught another art dealer red- handed?"
5007Quite right,he agreed hastily;"the note was queer, though, was n''t it?
5007Say, Dean, you''re not going to desert me?
5007Say, do you add telepathy to your other accomplishments?
5007September 19th was the date alleged, I believe?
5007Shall I tell, Miss Ashton?
5007Shall I?
5007She had no hobbies?
5007She was dressed to receive some one-- did you notice?
5007Shelton,asked Kennedy,"what sort of flash oil is used to lubricate the machinery?"
5007Should I have done so?
5007So far, I suppose, it is true that neither you nor the police have received even a hint as to where she went after leaving the book- store?
5007So you say I am this Williams, the counterfeiter?
5007Straight?
5007Tell me, what happened?
5007The manuscript? 5007 The office was locked, I suppose?"
5007The package? 5007 Then I can leave that part of it to you, McBride?"
5007Then it must have been some one in the house or at least some one familiar with it?
5007Then she was murdered?
5007Then the case has nothing to do with your trouble, nothing to do with the bends?
5007Then there''s a woman in the case, and she wrote the first note for the firebug-- is that what you mean?
5007Then you are to meet your friend in Washington to- night? 5007 Then you know of our daughter''s strange-- er-- departure?"
5007Then you perhaps think that Prescott and Mrs. Martin are in some way connected in this case?
5007Then you will take up the case?
5007Then, for Heaven''s sake, what did you find?
5007There are a good many chemicals mentioned here-- I wonder if any of them is poisonous? 5007 There was no way to slip this letter in among the others since you obtained them?"
5007To Mr. Jameson or the rest of us?
5007Walter, did you notice he said not a word of condemnation of Dixon, though the note was before his eyes? 5007 Walter, what''s on for to- night?"
5007Well, now, did you ever hear of such blasted impudence? 5007 Well, then, if I should call here to- night at, say, half- past nine, Could you be here?
5007Well,he said at length,"what of all this?
5007Well-- er-- do you suppose you could do the house a little-- er-- favour?
5007Wh-- where did you get that?
5007What about the partner? 5007 What are they that he should set such a price on them?"
5007What colour are they?
5007What did you make that affidavit for? 5007 What do you know about them?
5007What do you make of it?
5007What do you think of the Revalenko story?
5007What do you think of the case?
5007What do you think of this? 5007 What does Dudley Lawton say about the newspapers bringing his name into the case?"
5007What does it say?
5007What has happened since last night to increase your anxiety, Jack?
5007What has happened?
5007What has he been doing now?
5007What has that to do with customs reform?
5007What is it that you wished to see me about?
5007What is it?
5007What is it?
5007What is it?
5007What is it?
5007What is that?
5007What is this germ?
5007What of it?
5007What sort of place is it?
5007What success?
5007What time does the office close?
5007What was her name?
5007What was it about?
5007What was it that caused Miss Gilbert''s death?
5007What was the character of the forgeries?
5007What was the result? 5007 What''s all this stuff on the table?"
5007What''s on your mind now?
5007What''s that?
5007What''s the matter?
5007What''s the matter?
5007What''s up?
5007What? 5007 What?
5007What?
5007What?
5007Where are they?
5007Where is Nevsky?
5007Where is the letter? 5007 Where''s Paddy?"
5007Where''s the woman?
5007Where, then, can photography be considered as irrefutable evidence? 5007 Who identified her?"
5007Who is the treasurer of the company?
5007Who is this third man who comes in and with whom Harriet Wollstone goes away so willingly?
5007Who turned in the alarm?
5007Who was that detective who forced his way to see her the night they discovered Marie''s body?
5007Who was that man who just went out with the lady?
5007Who was this visitor, do you suppose?
5007Who?
5007Whose are those?
5007Why are you so particular, Henri?
5007Why believe it?
5007Why believe it?
5007Why did I forget that lump of paraffin? 5007 Why did n''t he destroy it?"
5007Why did n''t you bring Herndon over and break into the boxes, if you think the stuff is hidden in one of them?
5007Why did n''t you tell me you were coming?
5007Why do you ask me?
5007Why do you ask?
5007Why not take a chance? 5007 Why, Walter, he is the most gentle, engaging old philosopher----""That ever cut a throat or scuttled a ship?"
5007Why, if Dixon contemplated anything against Miss Lytton, should he preserve this letter from her?
5007Why, what''s the matter-- more sugar frauds?
5007Will you guarantee that he will not blow us up with a bomb?
5007Will you never stop spying on me?
5007Will you please write your names and addresses on the outside sheet of this pad, then tear it off and keep it?
5007With the fall and winter trade just coming on?
5007Wo n''t ye stay down an''see some more, gintlemen?
5007Would it be too much to ask just to see that note that was found in the Boncour bungalow?
5007Would n''t it be a good thing to fill the box with water?
5007Would you taste an unknown drug again to discover the nature of a probable poison?
5007Yeggmen--''fence''?
5007Yes,replied Kennedy,"what of him?"
5007You are willing to risk it? 5007 You ca n''t find him?
5007You do n''t think people are going to swallow all that stuff, do you?
5007You have never seen this Mrs. Martin or her husband?
5007You recall, Mr. Kennedy, reading in the papers that my country house out on Long Island was robbed the other day? 5007 You said the house had been closed-- absolutely closed?"
5007You say the police have n''t a single clue to any one who might be responsible for the fires?
5007You see that shadow of the gable? 5007 You see that woman over there?"
5007You think there is some connection between her death and the letters?
5007You will excuse me if I get some cigarettes downstairs? 5007 You will trace down the forger of those pictures before it is too late?"
5007You would n''t believe it, Walter, would you?
5007You''re all right?
5007You''re not offended at my kicking over the traces, are you?
5007You''re on the Star, I believe?
5007You, Miss Ashton?
5007You-- you do n''t mean to say that there is no other way, that I''ll have to admit even before Bennett-- and others that I''m in bad?
5007''The truth as I see it by means of my wonderful invention?
5007''What''s wrong?''
5007144 made up yet?"
5007A million dollars?"
5007A very talented girl, too-- you remember her in''The Taming of the New Woman''last season?
5007Above all, what was his game?
5007And how are you, Walter?
5007Are n''t you going to attend to him?"
5007Are the police there?"
5007Are you game?
5007Are you ready?
5007As we hurried over to the information booth, I gasped, in a whirl:"Now, look here, Kennedy, what''s all this lightning calculation?
5007As we passed a door on the second floor, a woman''s voice called out,"Is that you, Boris?"
5007As we sped across the city in a taxicab, Craig remarked:"I wonder what is the trouble?
5007Bennett shrugged his shoulders hopelessly and looked at Kennedy in mock resignation as if to say,"What can you do with such a fellow?"
5007Boris Kazanovitch, do you stand there SILENT and let this insult be heaped upon me?"
5007Boy, boy,"he shouted to a newsboy who passed,"what''s the latest sporting edition you have?"
5007Burned human flesh?
5007But ca n''t it be done with the soft pedal?
5007But then why should she commit suicide?
5007But what makes you so positive that it is all the work of one man?"
5007But what was the mystery that the tunnel held in its dark, dank bosom?
5007But where was the fire?
5007But--""And you swore falsely before Kimmel that you were not?"
5007By the way, Craig,"I exclaimed,"do n''t you think it would be a good plan to drop down and see O''Connor?
5007Ca n''t you stop him?"
5007Can you be here early in the morning?
5007Can you bear something further?
5007Can you keep it?"
5007Can you look into the case before it grows any worse, Professor?"
5007Carroll had to take up more or less active duty, with the result that a new man unearthed the-- but, say, are you really interested in this case?"
5007Could anything be more dramatic than his willing penalty for his devotion to medicine?"
5007Could it be that a man had deliberately amputated his fingers and grafted on new ones?
5007Could it be that one of their own number was playing false?
5007Did n''t I see her with tears in her eyes right in this room when he was n''t lookin'', and a smile when he was?
5007Did this Mr. Gonzales call?"
5007Did you see her wraps in the chair?
5007Dixon?"
5007Do you come to learn of the faith?"
5007Do you think he owned up?
5007Do you think such a wreck as I am now has any right to be engaged to the dearest girl in the world?"
5007Do you think they could have suspected anything?"
5007Do you think you can hold me back now with those little white hands on my wrists?
5007Do you think you could locate her?"
5007Does it occur to you that, after all, Forbes may not be dead?"
5007Er-- r, had Miss Gilbert any-- love affair, any trouble of such a nature that it might have preyed on her mind?"
5007F.''if he knew, as he must have known, that you would communicate with London and by means of the prints find out all about him?"
5007Finally Craig asked,"You have copies of the pictures?"
5007Gone?
5007Had Kennedy a clue?
5007Had it indeed been a suicide, in spite of McBride''s evident conviction to the contrary?
5007Had it really been a put- up job?
5007Had the blow affected his brain?
5007Had the man gone crazy?
5007Had they played fair?
5007Had we not better call the police and let them take the risk, even if it does get into the papers?"
5007Haswell?"
5007Have n''t found the firebug yet, have you?
5007Have you a good connection?
5007Have you ever heard of him?"
5007Have you found anything that gives a hint among them?"
5007Have you found that out yet?
5007Have you no chivalry, or justice, or-- or mercy?"
5007Have you still that place on the telegraphone record, Vivian?"
5007He dipped a pen into a little bottle, and wrote on a piece of paper: What is your opinion about Cross''s Headache Cure?
5007He said nothing of his own unsuccessful search through the house, but continued:"What do you suppose she has done with the jewels?
5007Hello, 297?
5007Here goes, our names and addresses, and underneath I''ll write,''What has become of Georgette Gilbert?''"
5007How am I ever to thank you?"
5007How are you for a walk until we can see Orton again?"
5007How are you?
5007How are you?
5007How can I prevent any one from learning my trade secret, leaving me, and making gold on his own account?
5007How do you feel?"
5007How does that suit Your Majesty?
5007How is my love affair?
5007How long do you think it will take us to get over to---""Police headquarters?"
5007How many more of these are there?"
5007How much of this stuff do you suppose has been put into circulation?"
5007How then was I to explain it?
5007How was that, Bennett?"
5007How were we to get ahead of him in Washington better than in New York?
5007How''s your end of the line?
5007How?
5007I believe that I can trust you as a friend of justice-- a friend of Russian freedom?"
5007I guess he''d want to recall the decision if it went against him-- hey?''
5007I should like to hear you tell some of them, if you are not yourself too---""Perhaps you''d rather see one instead?"
5007I suppose you have no objection to going with me?"
5007I suppose you have seen portraits of Georgette in the newspapers and know what a dreamy and artistic nature her face indicates?"
5007I thought I heard him ask:"Who are those men?
5007I wrench them loose-- so-- and-- ugh!--What''s this?
5007IX THE UNOFFICIAL SPY"Craig, do you see that fellow over by the desk, talking to the night clerk?"
5007If New York has suddenly become too hot, what more natural than to leave it?
5007If anything should happen----""Is it as urgent as that?"
5007If it is the truth, will you believe in me?
5007If you see it in the newspapers, it''s so-- perhaps-- isn''t it?"
5007Inter- River?
5007Is he, too, hurt or ill?"
5007Is it aphasia or amnesia, or whatever the doctors call it, and do you think she is wandering about somewhere unable to recover her real personality?"
5007Is she dead?''
5007Is that all you see?
5007Is that you, Clark?
5007Is that you, O''Connor?"
5007Is there any clue to her?"
5007Is there any reason why this fake detective should make fools out of us all and keep my wife longer in this court?
5007Is this the president''s office?
5007It is the outward sign of the unity of nature, the--""The means by which you secure the curious telepagrams I have heard of?"
5007It was a good"haul,"but where was the vast spoil the counterfeiters had accumulated?
5007It''s a queer sort of honeymoon, hey?"
5007Knight or Williams, which was it?
5007Like a flash it occurred to me: Where would they be most likely to go next to work off some of the bills?
5007Maid chloroformed?
5007Maloney sullenly refused to look at his former employer, as Blake rushed over and grasped Kennedy''s hand, asking eagerly:"How did you do it, Kennedy?
5007Meanwhile what might not happen to us?
5007Miss Georgette left no letters or anything that would indicate that her former infatuation survived?"
5007No doubt you have heard hints of Dudley Lawton''s name in connection with the case?
5007No speculating or fast living with him as with Brown?"
5007No?
5007Not so bad, eh?
5007Now just what is a firebug trust?
5007Now, Kennedy, do n''t you agree with me?
5007Now, do you suppose that they are after me in a professional way or are they trying to round me up as an independent voter?"
5007Now, is there any method by which lost finger- tips can be restored?
5007Oh, Harris, ca n''t you settle with him if he asks anything?
5007Oh, Jack, ca n''t you DO something to show them they are wrong, and do it quickly?
5007Oh, what are we to do, what are we to do?"
5007Oh, you''ve heard about Orton, have you?
5007One case?
5007Or does it mean that he foresees defeat and is taking this way to recoup himself under cover of being held up?"
5007Or was it after all the last desperate blow of the Boss?
5007Or was it merely that I found the great writer of fiction seeking the dramatic effect always at the cost of sincerity?
5007Or was it that she at last began to realise that the toils were closing about her and that things began to look unmistakably black?
5007Or was"K."Kazanovitch?
5007Samarova is head over heels in love with Kazanovitch-- you heard her call for him just now?
5007Scott?"
5007Scott?"
5007See that?"
5007See?"
5007Shall I see if I can get him on the wire?"
5007She says the tariff has gone up, or something, but it has n''t, has it?''
5007Squelch the pictures now at any cost, then follow the thing up and, if we can, prosecute after election?"
5007Suppose Kennedy should let loose this deadly foe, these germs of death, whatever they were?
5007That''s understood, is it, before I undertake the case?"
5007The Branford pearls-- stolen?
5007The choking air, the hissing steam, the ghastly object under the tarpaulin-- what did it all mean?
5007The hospital?
5007The old man moved restlessly on the bed, and over my shoulder I could hear him gasp faintly,"Where''s Grace?
5007The premiums or the epidemic?"
5007The question that arises here is, Was she murdered or did she commit suicide?
5007The rest of this tells how to attack various makes, does n''t it?"
5007Then again, might not other substances be generated in a dead body which would give a reaction very much like chloroform?
5007There-- what do you know about that?"
5007This print is composed of long shaded lines, some parts light, others dark, giving the effect of a picture, you understand?"
5007Thurston, who was the man whom you saw enter the Boncour bungalow as you left-- the constant visitor?"
5007To tell the truth, I imagine most of Violette''s goods were-- well--''"''Smuggled?''
5007Travis?"
5007Travis?"
5007Wait until----""Wait?"
5007Walter, will you open that door into the main hall?"
5007Was Kennedy, who had been engaged by her father to defend her fiance, about to convict him?
5007Was he convinced?
5007Was he playing to spare the girl''s feelings by allowing the election to go on without a scandal for Travis?
5007Was he relying on that, or on his difference in features?
5007Was it poison or violence?"
5007Was it that I was prejudiced by a puritanical disapproval of the things that pass current in Old World morality?
5007Was she lying?
5007Was the man crazy?
5007Was the stake sufficient for such a game?
5007We felt we could send out a strange detective and have him pick them out of a crowd-- you know the system, I presume?"
5007Well, Dr. Kharkoff, what can I do for you?
5007Well, Miss Roberts?"
5007Were they-- ah-- friendly?"
5007Were we doomed to blindness, too?
5007What are the tips of a few fingers compared with life, liberty, wealth, and a beautiful woman?
5007What could cause such a catastrophe naturally?
5007What did it all mean?
5007What do they care anyhow as long as it is against you?
5007What do you mean?"
5007What do you say to that, madame?"
5007What do you see?"
5007What do you suppose has happened to him?
5007What do you think of me?
5007What do you think of the possibility of his going to the Lexington track, now that he finds it too dangerous to remain in New York?"
5007What do you want?"
5007What had Miss Ashton overheard and what had Kennedy said to McLoughlin?
5007What had happened?
5007What has become of her?"
5007What is YOUR story?"
5007What is it-- a''con''man or a hotel''beat''?"
5007What is it?
5007What is more beautiful than the true unblemished love of one person for another?
5007What is sweeter, better, or more to be desired than perfect harmony and happiness?
5007What is this''portrait parle''they talk about, anyway?"
5007What makes you think he has n''t sailed yet?"
5007What more natural than to complete the conspiracy by carrying out the coup and at the same time get rid of the dangerous enemy of the conspirators?
5007What occurred?"
5007What possible connection is there between a lump of paraffin and one of the few places in the country where they still race horses?"
5007What role does he play in your suspicions?"
5007What should I say?
5007What was it she was battling for?
5007What was it that you would not tell me just now at luncheon?"
5007What was it?
5007What was she like?"
5007What was that force?
5007What was that gruesome odour in the room?
5007What was the cause of the death of the deceased?
5007What was the meaning of it?
5007What was the terrible secret in that scientific essay I had puzzled so unsuccessfully over, the night before?
5007What was the use of a piece of paraffin?
5007What would it reveal?
5007What''s that?
5007What''s that?"
5007What''s the use of repeating it now?
5007What-- really?
5007When are you going over?"
5007When are you going to see him?"
5007When do you start, Henri?
5007When she had disappeared he returned and remarked,"I suppose you have heard of Miss Margaret Ashton, the suffragette leader, Mr. Kennedy?
5007When will you return to me, Henri?"
5007Where am I?"
5007Where have these letters been?"
5007Where is Mr. Orton''s office?"
5007Where is it?"
5007Where''s Kennedy?"
5007Who had received it?
5007Who is it?"
5007Who knows?"
5007Who knows?"
5007Who let them in?"
5007Who was she?
5007Why did not Kennedy hire a special if the affair was so important as it appeared?
5007Why do you come to me?
5007Why had Miss Lovelace gone to Washington, of all places, at this torrid season of the year?
5007Why is he not here?"
5007Why not tell me all that you really know about the pearls and trust me to bring it out all right?"
5007Why?"
5007Will you be here?"
5007Will you put money into my invention?
5007Will you share in becoming fabulously rich?''
5007Will you tell my man, who must be somewhere about, that I would like to have him hold that woman who was in the auto smash until I can-- what?
5007Would it be found in time to be of use?
5007Would the up- state returns, I had wondered at first, be large enough to overcome the hostile city vote?
5007Would you like to meet him?
5007Would you recommend it for a nervous headache?
5007Yes?
5007You are acquainted with Mendeleeff''s periodic table?"
5007You do n''t think it would be better to wait until after the election is won?"
5007You have doubtless heard of the By- Products Company of Chicago?"
5007You know the Stacey department- stores and their allied dry- goods and garment- trade interests?"
5007You mean the plans for the coaling station on the Pacific near the Canal?
5007You recall we were discussing the Georgette Gilbert case this morning, Walter?"
5007You remember I told you what happened at the Vanderveer the night you and Madame arrived?
5007You remember doubtless that the element selenium varies its electrical resistance under light?
5007You see the blots?
5007You see what I am driving at?
5007You understand?
5007You will be very careful while I am gone?"
5007You will pardon me if I excuse myself now?
5007You''ll be up in half an hour?
5007he asked, adding,"Before I complete my part of the compact and blot out the whole affair?"
5007when our backs were turned and whisked the goods invisibly into the country?
42740''A chance?'' 42740 ''Able?''"
42740''Angry?'' 42740 ''Any one ought to know,''eh?

42740''The truth?''
42740''Think so?'' 42740 ''Worried?''"
42740''_ Enter_''them, eh? 42740 ''_ Happened?_''Hell broke loose."
42740A room?
42740Ai n''t that like a thief, though? 42740 Ai n''t that what I been tellin''you?"
42740And Garland?
42740And now-- that little condition?
42740And public opinion will certainly not condemn an innocent girl for trying to avoid scandal, will it?
42740And the faintin''--that was part of the joke, eh, lady?
42740And vice versa?
42740And what a Vandervent eats for breakfast makes snappy reading, I think you''d call it, for_ hoi polloi_, eh?
42740And you do n''t see any way of stopping Spofford?
42740And you think you can blackmail me?
42740And you wo n''t marry me?
42740And you''d advise me to keep it out of the courts, Judge?
42740And-- what are these things?
42740Anjenoo, eh? 42740 Annoyin''her?"
42740Any reason,he asked,"why I should n''t stop and speak to a friend of my wife''s?"
42740Are n''t you curious?
42740Are there two of them?
42740Are they here?
42740Are you in the''Follies''?
42740Are you proposing again?
42740Are you-- eh-- enjoying yourself?
42740Are-- are you sure?
42740Authoritative source, you said?
42740Bad news, miss?
42740Because,said Sophie Carey,"I''ve taken an-- does it sound too patronizing?
42740Been in the city long?
42740Before who goes?
42740Bless your sweet heart, did you think I was offering you a place as cook? 42740 But how do you expect to help it, though?"
42740But is n''t every one spending, not only the millionaires?
42740But suppose that I tell''em that you had a key to Morris Beiner''s office, hey? 42740 But why hurry matters?"
42740But wo n''t the fact that she remained in hiding go against her, Judge Walbrough?
42740But you-- how does it happen you''re here?
42740Can you come over to my office, Miss Deane?
42740Care to live here?
42740Carryin''much money?
42740Could n''t you get work?
42740Dance? 42740 Dance?"
42740Did I beckon?
42740Did I?
42740Did n''t I refuse to tell you my address?
42740Did n''t Spofford go into your house yesterday and stay there with her an hour or so? 42740 Did n''t know we were playing for keeps, eh, Lal?
42740Did you need verification, Zenda?
42740Did you notice that I used the word''insist''?
42740Did you tell him,gasped Clancy,"that I was coming here this afternoon?"
42740Did your royal highness think I did n''t show the proper respect to your high rank? 42740 Do I frighten you?"
42740Do n''t care whether I''m for you or not, eh?
42740Do n''t feel like talking, eh?
42740Do n''t suppose the details interest you, Sophie?
42740Do n''t you suppose I know_ that_? 42740 Do what?"
42740Do you accept them?
42740Do you know the time, young lady?
42740Do you know why I really asked you to stay? 42740 Do you mean that I wo n''t be arrested?"
42740Do you really?
42740Does he?
42740Does that mean that you wo n''t help Miss Deane? 42740 Done any acting?"
42740Eat?
42740Eh? 42740 Eight o''clock?"
42740Feel like a game?
42740Fix it up? 42740 For simply doing what I ought to do?
42740Forgive you? 42740 From the country, eh?
42740Get that?
42740Getting ahead with the work?
42740Going to find me a tenant?
42740Has Vandervent annoyed you? 42740 Has n''t she put you in the way of an investment for a client?
42740Have I?
42740Have what?
42740Have you a warrant?
42740Have you returned it?
42740Have you the right to let a man like Garland go free?
42740He can keep me out of pictures, ca n''t he?
42740Her paintings? 42740 Hildebloom there?
42740Hook me up, will you, kid? 42740 How dare you?"
42740How did they find out?
42740How did you happen to know that I was here?
42740How did you know?
42740How do, Penwell? 42740 How much is that?"
42740How''d you find me here?
42740How''d you meet Fay?
42740How''d you meet him?
42740How?
42740How?
42740I guess that would n''t bother you, would it, Mr. Randall? 42740 I mean, your eyesight is perfectly good?"
42740I mean-- I do n''t want to be rude, but----"Well?
42740I mean-- isn''t there anything of a man left in you, Donald? 42740 I suppose that there''s some explanation, Don?"
42740I want to know why you''re annoying this young lady?
42740I''ll just bet you''d''a''beaned me one with that as soon as not, eh, Miss Deane?
42740I''ll never have to, will I?
42740I''m fresh, you think? 42740 I''m''Morris''to my friends, and that''s what you and I are goin''to be, eh?"
42740I-- I-- would you want to marry me now?
42740I-- if you happened to know stenography-- do you?
42740Is he overwhelmed?
42740Is n''t it?
42740Is n''t there more-- smoke-- trouble-- there?
42740Is that so?
42740Is there anything the matter with you?
42740It was n''t a crime, was it?
42740It''s-- it''s pretty hard to explain murder, is n''t it?
42740Jealous?
42740Join you? 42740 Judge Walbrough has been mighty nice to you, has n''t he?
42740Just how?
42740Kid, why have n''t you been round to see Zenda?
42740Know what''s over that way? 42740 Like it?"
42740Like it?
42740Like to talk it over a bit?
42740Like wild parties, Florine?
42740Listen to a trade?
42740Ma''am?
42740Matter with me?
42740Me?
42740Miss Deane,called Sophie Carey,"who is it?"
42740Miss Deane? 42740 Miss Deane?
42740Miss Deane? 42740 Miss Deane?
42740Miss Deane?... 42740 Miss Marston-- don''t you know her?"
42740Mrs. Carey-- she''s-- all right?
42740Mrs. Walbrough, do you know I have n''t the faintest idea what you''re talking about?
42740My engagement-- its announcement rather-- would be a''beat''of some value?
42740Never occurred to you that, getting a letter from you, I might run through Zenda''s mail, looking for a note in the same handwriting, eh?
42740New York has n''t corrupted you as yet, Miss Deane, has it? 42740 No morbid curiosity?
42740No need of getting mad, is there?
42740No one is running a blazer on you, are they?
42740No question about it, is there?
42740No?
42740No?
42740Not any? 42740 Not if we produce the pawnbroker where you pawned the pearls?"
42740Not living at the Napoli any more, eh?
42740Not much difficulty in shutting an elevator- boy''s mouth, is there?
42740Not really?
42740Now, Miss Deane, you enter from the left there, you''re kinda blue, downhearted-- see? 42740 O my God, what shall I do?"
42740Of course I was surprised, but----"You were thinking of me?
42740Of me?
42740Oh, did she, now?
42740Oh, do n''t you think that you can come with me? 42740 Oh, how do you do?"
42740Oh, maybe for a week or two, a few people would be down on you, but-- what did you come to New York for, Florine, to make friends or money?
42740Oh, then, last night-- you think it might have been different?
42740Oh, you''d like it better that way, would you?
42740On Sunday?
42740On what?
42740Only-- how does she happen to know the name Florine Ladue? 42740 Or hate''em?"
42740Or should n''t I ask?
42740Party?
42740Pay me?
42740Point is--and he brought his face nearer to hers, staring at her with inflamed eyes--"what are you doin''up here if you did n''t know I was here?"
42740Powder your nose?
42740Pretty cool about it, Miss Deane, are n''t you?
42740Quite a kidder, ai n''t you, Florine?
42740Ready to go to the country, Ragan?
42740Satisfied?
42740Say, none of them got your name, did they? 42740 Seen Fay to- day?
42740Sent for the coroner?
42740She did n''t mean that you were so-- fatally attractive?
42740She''s not_ the_ Mrs. Carey, is she? 42740 Simple, is n''t it?
42740So Sophie sent you to my matrimonial bureau, eh?
42740So soon?
42740So,said Vandervent,"you were n''t joking with me Friday, eh, Miss Deane?"
42740So_ that''s_ the way you take it, eh? 42740 Spofford, does Mr. Vandervent know of this-- er-- independent investigation of yours?"
42740Spying on me, eh?
42740Stupid people always think in grooves, do n''t they, Spofford? 42740 Suppose I did run a fake agency for the pictures?
42740Suppose you ride home with us, Zenda?
42740Suppose you were surprised to see me so soon again?
42740Sure of what? 42740 Taxi, miss?"
42740The first dance? 42740 The police?"
42740Then who did send for him? 42740 Then why not be a regular feller and keep out of things that do n''t concern you?
42740Then you have n''t beguiled as many girls as Mrs. Carey says?
42740There''ll be another time?
42740Think not?
42740This the woman?
42740To Mr. Zenda''s apartment?
42740To- day?
42740Was I-- impertinent? 42740 Was that clever?"
42740Well, even if you can prove it, what then?
42740Well, in the name of heaven, why not?
42740Well, was n''t that sweet of old Fanny? 42740 Well, what are you going to do?"
42740Well, why not?
42740Well, why should I have been the one to be rude? 42740 Well?"
42740Well?
42740Well?
42740What about Garland?
42740What did he look like?
42740What did you say?
42740What do I care?
42740What do they know?
42740What do you mean by''only,''Spofford?
42740What do you mean?
42740What do you mean?
42740What else can we be?
42740What else can you be in Zenith?
42740What else did you think it was?
42740What for?
42740What for?
42740What happened?
42740What has that to do with it?
42740What have I done now?
42740What is it that you want?
42740What is it?
42740What might be it?
42740What must you think of me?
42740What other reason could there be?
42740What sort of work is it?
42740What time?
42740What you doin''the rest of the evenin''?
42740What''s he doing up here? 42740 What''s incredible?
42740What''s that? 42740 What''s the matter, kid?
42740What''s this man to do with it?
42740What''s wrong?
42740What''s your name, dearie?
42740What? 42740 When?"
42740Where are you going?
42740Where for?
42740Where is Carey?
42740Where is this elevator- man now?
42740Where shall I henpeck you then, Tommy boy?
42740Where shall we go?
42740Where''s the string tied to it?
42740Whereabouts? 42740 Which address looks best to you?"
42740Who is Don?
42740Who is he?
42740Who is he?
42740Who is it?
42740Who was it?
42740Who you talkin''to?
42740Who''s down- stairs?
42740Who''s going to give it to me?
42740Why did I announce myself to Mr. Vandervent as Florine Ladue and then deny it?
42740Why did I faint?
42740Why did n''t you join us?
42740Why do n''t you talk plain English?
42740Why do that, kid? 42740 Why is n''t he?"
42740Why limit yourself when you''re paying compliments? 42740 Why not?
42740Why not? 42740 Why not?"
42740Why not?
42740Why not?
42740Why not?
42740Why not?
42740Why not?
42740Why should I go round to see him?
42740Why should I? 42740 Why should I?"
42740Why should n''t I kiss him?
42740Why should n''t you?
42740Why the deuce_ should_ I give you money?
42740Why--and Clancy was wide- eyed--"how could I?"
42740Why, Florine, I''ve seen them come to this town all hopped up with ambition and talent and everything, and where do they land? 42740 Why, I was sure that you''d blame me----""What for?"
42740Why, you poor little simp, Mabel Larkin''ll be there, wo n''t she?
42740Why,said Clancy aloud,"did I ever imagine that I did n''t care for the country in the winter?"
42740Why-- why does any one want to do anything?
42740Why-- why, Miss Deane''s got some fool idea that I killed Morris Beiner, and I wanted to-- I wanted to----"''Beiner?'' 42740 Why-- why-- what''s wrong?"
42740Why? 42740 Why?"
42740Why?
42740Why?
42740Will you feel that way when you see a policeman?
42740Will you have one?
42740Will you?
42740With eyes like hers, Irish gray eyes, why should n''t she have wit? 42740 Wondering what?"
42740Would he dare?
42740Would he dare?
42740Would you be afraid,she asked,"if I went over to the Carey place?
42740Y''knew I was coming up here, did n''t you?
42740Yes, ma''am?
42740You a friend of the big blond girl that you came in with?
42740You are n''t looking for work, are you?
42740You come right now and tell me what you doin''here?
42740You did n''t?
42740You do n''t think anything foolish like that, now, do you?
42740You do n''t think it''s bold of me?
42740You do?
42740You have a trunk?
42740You hear that?
42740You knew?
42740You know each other? 42740 You know the meaning of the word''palaver,''do n''t you, young woman?
42740You know who I am?
42740You like it?
42740You move rapidly, do n''t you?
42740You really want me?
42740You see, one finally reaches the boiling- point, which is n''t forgetfulness at all, and-- why are you in New York?
42740You stopped her? 42740 You think so, hey?
42740You think well of Mr. David Randall, do n''t you?
42740You understand me better, do n''t you?
42740You wo n''t really just simply wait? 42740 You would n''t mind, would you, Miss Deane?
42740You''d stick to that-- in a court- room?
42740You''ll excuse us, Don? 42740 You''ll forgive Miss Deane, wo n''t you?"
42740You''ll give me fifty a week-- right now?
42740You''ll teach me?
42740You''re an amachoor, eh? 42740 You''re joking, of course?"
42740You''re sure?
42740You''ve never been in the chorus of a musical comedy, have you?
42740You-- I do n''t suppose-- you''d care to go to the theater-- or anything?
42740You-- feel better?
42740_ Is_ he watching you?
42740''Afraid?''"
42740''Florine?''"
42740''Morris Beiner?''"
42740Against Carey?
42740Ai n''t Sam and I been watchin''you tobogganing with that fat old Walbrough dame all afternoon?"
42740Ai n''t he workin''hand in glove with her?"
42740Amachoor, eh?
42740An actress, or somebody that wants to be an actress; well, where would she be livin''?
42740And ai n''t he laid off her?
42740And did n''t she herself_ know_ that she had talent to back up her good looks?
42740And how could Sophie Carey respect this weak sot?
42740And if he believed in her innocence----"How do you know I did n''t do it?"
42740And if he_ must_ do it, why does he marry a Broadway doll that ca n''t keep her face closed?
42740And if we were certain of open scandal, surely you do n''t think that would matter?"
42740And is n''t your maid here?"
42740And those eyes?
42740And who shall say that it is not more sensible in this than age, which, knowing life''s inevitability of act and consequence, is without hope?
42740And why did Ike send you to me?"
42740And why not?
42740And would the police believe her story?
42740And your hair?
42740And, say-- how did Miss Deane happen to guess what I was hangin''around for?
42740And-- if he''d proposed sudden marriage, what would you have done?"
42740Answer me that, will you?"
42740Are there times when the end justifies the means?
42740Are you tellin''me all you know?
42740Ask Mrs. Walbrough if she can put me up?"
42740At six?
42740At what?"
42740Because she had been afraid of scandal?
42740Before yielding to either emotional impulse, why not analyze the situation?
42740Beiner?"
42740Beiner?"
42740But I have some liqueurs?"
42740But a woman escaped through the window of Beiner''s office-- you''ve read the case?
42740But another time?
42740But how could he have known that Garland was inside with Carey?
42740But how, immured in some country home, was she to learn more?
42740But the girls that look out for the kale, that never asked,''What?''
42740But what was it?
42740But what''s the good?
42740But why be nasty?
42740But why had Spofford been waiting outside?
42740But why the gift?
42740But would that some one come forward and admit his or her guilt to free Clancy Deane?
42740But you''d have to gamble on that, would n''t you?
42740But, before you say it, you''d like to be quite certain of your facts, would n''t you?"
42740But, until it was----"What am I supposed to have stolen?"
42740But-- gee, you got swell friends, ai n''t you?"
42740But-- that does n''t help us, does it?"
42740But-- would he mean what he said five minutes from now?
42740But-- you''d like to know who killed this Beiner guy, would n''t you?
42740Can I see you right away?"
42740Can you keep your mouth shut?"
42740Carey demanded_]"Who''s going to believe that kind of yarn?"
42740Carey?"
42740Cheerfully?
42740Come up, wo n''t you?
42740Consequences?
42740Could it be that he had some slight suspicion of Don Carey?
42740Could this delay have been because he knew that Garland was inside the house, and because he did not wish to encounter him?
42740D''ye hear that, Garland?"
42740Dance, Florine?"
42740Darned few of them here to- day, eh?
42740Did I say anything I should n''t, Sophie darling?
42740Did I tell Zenda that I knew you?
42740Did he insult you?"
42740Did n''t Fanny DeLisle tell you I was a good old scout?"
42740Did n''t he tell me to keep my trap closed about seein''her go to Beiner''s office?
42740Did n''t our hitherto immune David become infected with the virus of love the moment he saw you?"
42740Did n''t you know me?"
42740Did n''t you meet her?
42740Did she want that?
42740Did you notice Ike''s eyes?
42740Do I look like a guy that was just cuttin''his first teeth?
42740Do I-- assume too much?"
42740Do n''t you think so?"
42740Do you know why he''s watching me?"
42740Do you want her to keep thinking how nice he is?"
42740Does one forget in twenty- four hours a man who has proposed?"
42740Does right sometimes masquerade in the guise of wrong?
42740Does wrong sometimes impersonate right?
42740Don Carey, eh?
42740Drink?
42740Eh, Zenda?"
42740Ever been in the movies at all?"
42740Excuse me, lady; but where do you get your humor?"
42740Farrar was in excellent voice to- night, did n''t you think?"
42740Fay Marston?"
42740Finish your spiel, eh?"
42740For, what had she to confess?
42740Get me?
42740Get me?"
42740Get me?"
42740God bless me-- what do you mean?"
42740God gives us good looks; why should n''t we use them?
42740Got it?
42740Grannis?"
42740Had n''t Spofford been a little too ingenuous?
42740Had n''t she always taken good pictures?
42740Have a cigarette?"
42740Have it?
42740Having admitted that much to the police, would they believe the rest of her story?
42740Heaven alone knew what it would all cost, but what woman cares what clothing cost?
42740Help you with your bag, ma''am?"
42740Her voice was lowered in awe as she asked:"It ai n''t_ the_ Walbroughs, is it?
42740Him carryin''a revolver?"
42740How about giving old papa Beiner a little kiss, just to show you did n''t mean what you just said?"
42740How about it, Florine?"
42740How about it?"
42740How are the buckwheat cakes?"
42740How can they?
42740How can you teach a girl that ai n''t a lady to act like one?
42740How could a man be expected to understand?
42740How could she be blamed?
42740How could you make me angry-- by coming to see me?"
42740How did she know that those threats were founded upon any truth?
42740How did you do it?"
42740How is Fanchon?
42740How long must the people of the greatest city in the world feel that their Police Department is incompetent?
42740How long must this continue?
42740How much did he know?
42740How''d you happen to meet her?"
42740How''s Maria?"
42740How_ could_ he know anything of her and her connection with either Zenda or Beiner?
42740Hurry along, will you?
42740I do n''t suppose that your bank- roll would make a mosquito strain its larynx, eh?
42740I expected-- I''m_ glad_-- What a terrible storm-- so much snow-- in a few hours-- Was n''t it fun-- last night?"
42740I get this elevator- man from the Heberworth Building to come down to your living- place----""How did you know where I lived?"
42740I have n''t met you, have I?"
42740I know a way----""What?"
42740I live----""You''ve moved?"
42740I-- you''ll forgive me?"
42740If against Carey, why had he gone in search of Clancy at Sally Henderson''s office?
42740If he knew of her visits to Beiner, why did he bring her here?
42740If we could be more specific in our reading than this, would our lives be much different?
42740If you know that she_ explained_ things to Mr. Vandervent, why''d you ask me why I was watchin''?"
42740If you''re frightened----""''Frightened?''
42740Ike Weber steer you against it?"
42740Ike and I are leavin''town----""You?"
42740Ike never done anything to you, did he?"
42740In any town, for that matter?"
42740In that case---- What about that case?
42740Ingénue, eh?"
42740Is it common justice?
42740Is n''t it?"
42740Is n''t there some place where we can go and talk?"
42740It is magnificent, is n''t it?
42740It looked like something, eh?
42740It would have been her own business, would n''t it?
42740It''s from your sweetie-- get me?
42740Jail for a girl like Miss Deane?
42740Join you?"
42740Just for to- night?
42740Just in from the country, with the bloom all on.... Bring her around?
42740Know''em?
42740Mabel, what did he do?"
42740May I come in?"
42740May she talk?"
42740Miss Deane, why did you come to see me?"
42740Motive, eh?
42740Mrs. Sophie Carey, the artist?
42740Never thought of trying pictures, did you?"
42740No hard feelings?"
42740No?
42740Now, I figure it out to myself: If Miss Ladue''s mother wired her, and the wire made Miss Ladue pack her stuff and beat it, why did n''t she go home?
42740Now, Miss Deane, are you going to listen to sense?
42740Now, do you accept?"
42740Now, if I go that far, do n''t you think you ought to come a little way and meet me?"
42740Now-- where''s Ike?
42740Now-- will you take ten thousand and-- get?"
42740Of course, Judge Walbrough and Zenda did n''t know that a woman named Florine Ladue was wanted for Beiner''s murder; but still----"''On the screen?''
42740Of course, she would incur the enmity of Ike Weber, but what difference did that make?
42740Oh, is this you?
42740Oh, well, it do n''t matter to us, does it, Florine?
42740On the stage?"
42740Only"--and his voice lost its mocking tones and became reproachful--"was that the square way to treat her friend Morris?"
42740Only-- you promise to stay three months?"
42740Or dinner?"
42740Or tea?
42740Part of the Vandervent estate, is n''t it, Randall?"
42740Played in''The Rivals''once?"
42740Pretty good?"
42740Ready?
42740Repeat it?
42740Right away?"
42740Right or wrong?
42740Say, Frank, you wanted an anjenoo, did n''t you?
42740Say, is n''t this the Carey house?
42740Say, look here, Miss Deane: Loosen up, won''tcha?
42740She did n''t happen to say that anybody that tried to trim old Morris was liable to get their hair cut, did she?"
42740She had avoided the police for a day-- but how much longer could she hope to do so?
42740She had not killed him, but-- who had?
42740She laughed, as he said,"Maybe you think, because I''m a little fat, that I ca n''t shake a nasty toe, Florine?"
42740She might escape from the present net, but what nets would the demon set for her in the years to come?
42740She never mentions it, or refers to her work----""Have you seen it?"
42740She would always owe the older woman gratitude, but----"Not fair, eh?
42740Should a particular girl earn less than the other kind?
42740So now you see, do n''t you?"
42740Spanish for Maggie Smith?
42740Still, that''d be easy, you not havin''seen any game at all, would n''t it?
42740Suppose I did promise a few girls jobs that they never got?
42740Suppose I get him on the telephone?"
42740Suppose I put my cards right down where you can see''em, Florine?"
42740Suppose I tell''em that, hey?"
42740Suppose that I hand you that confession?"
42740Suppose that she''d been deluding herself?
42740Tell me, Miss Deane: You have Irish blood in you?"
42740Tell me, what did Garland say to you?"
42740Tell me-- are you engaged, in love, or anything?"
42740That I should gamble, and that some one should swindle me?
42740That the Ladue woman committed the murder?
42740That, after all, is hope, is n''t it, Miss Deane?
42740The business?
42740The chauffeur said,''Judge Walbrough''s car;''but not_ the_ judge, is it?"
42740The coroner''ll ask questions, and the fewer lies need be told him----""Mrs. Carey?
42740The man who was here?"
42740The people that she had met, the moving- picture millionaires-- theirs had come easily-- Would it go as easily?
42740The police would remind her of it, would n''t they?
42740The rest was makeshift, a stop- gap until-- until what?
42740The_ Era_ would n''t drag her into a nasty scandal, would it?"
42740Then I saw you, and you-- tell me: why did you faint?"
42740Then why did he dare do something that indicated disloyalty to his associate?
42740Then why had he dropped the belief in her guilt that had animated his actions yesterday?
42740Then why had it not been easy to call on Zenda the first thing on Tuesday morning and tell him of Fay Marston''s involuntary confession?
42740Then why, the next question is, did Miss Ladue put over that fake?
42740Then, louder, he said:"Fooled you with that little berry bet, eh?
42740Therefore, why cringe?
42740This lying, blackmailing thing to frighten Clancy Deane?
42740This your first Broadway party?"
42740To avoid doing right because of possible scandal?
42740To run out upon the street and call for a policeman?
42740To telephone Vandervent, the judge?
42740Tommy boy?''
42740Understand?"
42740Vandervent?"
42740Vandervent?"
42740Vandervent?"
42740Vulgar, Fay Marston might be-- but vicious?
42740Want to come along with me?"
42740Want to come?"
42740Want to talk with him?"
42740Was it past?
42740Was it possible that she was to be the victim of one?
42740Was n''t I watchin''outside?
42740Was n''t Mr. Vandervent satisfied with her explanation?"
42740Was n''t it them that just left the house?"
42740Was n''t she innocent of any wrong- doing?
42740Was she, Clancy Deane, lacking in a sense of humor?
42740Well, Florine, what makes you want to go into the movies?"
42740Well, what difference would it make?
42740Well, you ca n''t help it if you''re beautiful, can you?
42740What about it?
42740What can I do for you?"
42740What did Zenda matter?
42740What did a couple of dollars more or less matter to her?
42740What did anything matter?
42740What difference does it make?
42740What do you care what Zenda thinks?"
42740What do you care?
42740What do you know about interior decorating?"
42740What do you mean by stopping me?"
42740What do you mean?"
42740What good would her poker have been, pitted against a revolver?
42740What had Spofford said?
42740What had she to be concerned about?
42740What happens?
42740What ill fate had sent her to this place?
42740What is it?"
42740What might have been her fate had she found the man hiding here?
42740What on earth was there to be nervous about?
42740What right had he to act upon his own responsibility?
42740What to do?
42740What was it, then, that drew her to him?
42740What you meeting him for?
42740What''s strange about that in this town, Judge?
42740What''s the use of stallin''?
42740What''s yours?"
42740What_ was_ there to know?
42740What_ would_ they think in Zenith?
42740Where are your stars of twenty years ago, of ten years ago, of five, when you come right down to it?
42740Where do you do your sailing, Miss Deane?"
42740Where you going now?"
42740Where''s Carey?"
42740Where''s the telephone, Miss Deane?"
42740Where?
42740Which is not so odd as people think; how can they know when they''re going to eat again?
42740Who were paying for them?
42740Who''s the lady?"
42740Whoever heard of a bride telling important secrets to her husband?
42740Why be rude, anyway?
42740Why did Ike Weber send you here?"
42740Why did he lie?
42740Why did he reserve his love for Clancy?
42740Why did n''t he denounce her to the police?
42740Why did she do it?
42740Why did she do that?"
42740Why do n''t you show some jazz?"
42740Why had Fay Marston not merely kept her marriage secret but searched for girls to entertain her own husband?
42740Why had he expressed a certain surprise when Clancy had told him?
42740Why had n''t he come right up and rung the door- bell?
42740Why had n''t he thought of sending her roses?
42740Why had n''t she called to whoever had knocked upon the door and got him to break it down?
42740Why had n''t she made him take the money back?
42740Why had n''t the word of Philip Vandervent been enough for him?
42740Why had she been afraid of the possible scandal?
42740Why not slip me a li''l jack and let it go at that?
42740Why not the_ world''s_ greatest reporter?"
42740Why not?"
42740Why on earth should she have worried herself by thinking that Fanchon DeLisle''s card of introduction would have assumed any importance to the police?
42740Why should I?
42740Why should she worry?
42740Why tell Zenda that Fay Marston practically confessed to you?"
42740Why''d you send for him?"
42740Why, had n''t even Fay Marston last night told her that her skin alone would make her a film success?
42740Why?
42740Why?"
42740Why?"
42740Why?"
42740Why?"
42740Wife of Don Carey?
42740Will you be at the offices of Zenda Films to- morrow morning with Judge Walbrough?"
42740Will you come through?"
42740Will you let me dress you?
42740Will you let me present him to you?"
42740Will you run over and dine with us?"
42740With Phil Vandervent interested and the Walbroughs enthusiastically enlisted on your side-- It was rather hard on David to- night, was n''t it?"
42740With that skin?
42740With this?"
42740Would fear of the Vandervent and Walbrough influence cause him to drop the trail of a woman whom he believed to be a murderess?
42740Would he give a promise that in honor he should not give?
42740Would he knock the man down?
42740Would he temporize?
42740Would n''t care to do a little posing?
42740Would she avoid them all?
42740Would they believe her?
42740Would you like to go over the Tombs?"
42740Would you like your coffee here, or will you wait?"
42740Yet what was right and what was wrong?
42740Yet, in this particular case, was there not something of heroism in it?
42740You ai n''t afraid of me, are you?"
42740You are n''t going to let a young woman''s name be dragged through a filthy mess like this, are you?"
42740You ca n''t blame me, now, can you?"
42740You certainly do n''t imagine that any jury would_ convict_ Miss Deane?"
42740You do n''t want to go to Zenda and tell him that Fay Marston admitted Ike was a crook, do you?
42740You got your job?"
42740You home?"
42740You know why?
42740You realize that Miss Deane is innocent, do n''t you?"
42740You really like it?"
42740You would n''t be mean to old papa Beiner that wants to see all little girls get along, would you?
42740You''ll live here?"
42740You''re going to marry one of the whitest-- tell me, when was the engagement contracted?"
42740You_ will_ forgive me, wo n''t you?"
42740Your address?"
42740Zenda never paid the rent for you, did he?
42740Zenda?"
42740Zenda?"
42740[ Illustration:_"Who''s going to believe that kind of yarn?"
42740but always,''How much?''
57623''May I ask, Mr. Philpot, whether you have had any previous contributions from Mr. Frank Timmins?'' 57623 ''May I take it, then, as a fact that up to the point indicated by you the printed story follows exactly on the lines of the MS.?''
57623After all these years, is there no other way than that?
57623After all, you have contrived to shuffle out of the question I put to you, which was, Who is Philip Winslade?
57623After all,she resumed,"if one may ask, who and what is this Mr. Philip Winslade with whom you seem to be so taken up?"
57623And is that the sort of young woman you take me for? 57623 And the paperweight-- what became of that?"
57623And there was nothing in it that would serve----?
57623But do you mean to imply that Evan Wildash never came back from Africa?
57623But, mother----"Is another word needed, Phil?
57623Did papa give Mr. Winslade to understand as much at their interview last week?
57623Girl, are you mad?
57623He-- he died in prison, did he not?
57623In that case, will you be good enough to ring the bell?
57623May I ask to be enlightened as to the nature of the contingency of which you speak?
57623May I ask whether Mr. Dyson is entitled to any bequest under his late cousin''s will?
57623May I ask whether you have been sitting here long?
57623Nothing more to be said? 57623 Now, who can this be from?"
57623Of Mrs. Melray the younger what shall I say? 57623 Of course, you gave the young man his_ congé_ there and then?"
57623Pardon my inquisitiveness, but may I ask whether you have made yourself acquainted with the contents of the pocket- book?
57623That you will swear?
57623That''s your opinion, is it, my love?
57623Then you are inclined to attach some importance to the paper?
57623Then, as regards the man who was killed in the railway accident?
57623Well, my dear, and what do you make of it?
57623What can that be, I wonder?
57623What is this, my dear?
57623What purpose but one can a young man in such circumstances have? 57623 What_ do_ you mean?
57623Where should she go but to London and keep house for her son?
57623Who can say what prying eyes may not be secretly watching us?
57623Who would have thought it of her?--Who would have believed it possible?
57623Why not, pray?
57623Why should she? 57623 You are sure your holiday has done you good, and that you have come back better than you went?"
57623''But if I do that,''I said,''how can I explain away my presence at this untimely hour?
57623''Had the MS., then, a different ending from that which it has in the printed story?''
57623''What conclusion could I come to save that you had forgotten me?''
57623Above all, what could be the matter of urgent moment he was so anxious to see her father about?
57623And if so, was he also the writer of the MS.?
57623And it would be still more singular, would it not?
57623And now, will you be good enough to enlighten me as to anything you may happen to know about the authorship of this very remarkable composition?
57623And what if Evan, in his half- demented condition, and with his blood- imbrued hands, should be arrested and confronted with me?
57623And would you, then, persist in this-- this entanglement in direct opposition to the wishes of your parents?"
57623Are you, or are you not, the_ fiancée_ of Mr. Philip Winslade, who was here on a visit of several weeks''duration a little while ago?''
57623But is not that the very reason why our engagement, instead of being broken off, should, if possible, be riveted more firmly than before?
57623But tell me this: Should I be very wide of the mark in assuming that the story has already been read both by Mr. Winslade and Mr. Robert Melray?''
57623But what is meant by''our mutual friend, Mr.----''?
57623But what of him?"
57623But why this display of animosity as regards young Winslade?
57623But, as Philip asked himself, how was it possible, under the circumstances, that he should write to her at all?
57623But, supposing Mrs. Melray to have been unwise enough to fix a quarter or half- past eight for the meeting, what then?
57623By whom had it been perpetrated?
57623CHAPTER II WHO IS MRS. WINSLADE?
57623Can it be possible that the man she introduced to you as her cousin was none other than Evan Wildash himself?
57623Can it be possible that the wretched affair has gone as far as that?"
57623Could it be possible, he asked himself, that Denia had turned traitor and betrayed him?
57623Could it, after all, be possible that Denia----?
57623Did you, or did you not, take her?"
57623Do you think, mamma, that to themselves, or to each other, they would acknowledge that the same blood runs in my veins as in their own?
57623Further, how was I to be sure in what light you would look at the affair?
57623Gripping me by the arm he said,''So you are back, are you?
57623Had not his happiness been her constant study ever since he could remember anything?
57623Has the drama, then, come to an end?
57623Here it is:"''Dear Miss Sudlow,--Will you oblige me by coming to my room as soon as Freddy''s lessons for the day are over?
57623How did I know he was dead?
57623I suppose there was nothing found among Mr. Melray''s papers bearing on that feature of the affair?"
57623In all probability, as he said, it was the one great sin of the young man''s life, and who should say that it had not been bitterly repented of?
57623In the first place, Who was she before she made her appearance at Iselford?
57623Is it, then, greatly to be wondered at if, at times, my heart could not help fluttering a little under the ardent glances of Richard Dyson?
57623Is the name omitted?"
57623Is there nothing more to follow?
57623Louth Sudlow?
57623Low down in my heart a voice whispered:''Why not give her"How, and Why"to read?
57623May I assume, Mr. Timmins, that such is the fact?''
57623Meanwhile, would I be true to him?
57623Neither, I presume, was there any mention made of the writer''s intention to commit suicide?''
57623No; he will insist on the engagement being at once broken off; and, under the circumstances, how can anyone blame him?"
57623Now, will you be good enough to tell me to what those words referred?"
57623Of course, the question is, how much truth and how much fiction underlies the supposititious confession?
57623On the threshold of what mystery had she unwittingly found herself?
57623Ought she not, rather, to try and get away unseen and unheard?
57623Ought she to stay and overhear more of what they might have to say to each other?
57623Possibly you may remember that, some months ago, several people were killed owing to a railway accident about a couple of miles beyond Eastwich?''
57623She passes herself off as a widow-- who can say with certainty whether she ever had a husband?"
57623Should I not have been a wretch to cast a blight over your young life one hour before I was absolutely compelled to do so?
57623Singular, was it not, my dear friend?
57623So you and she came over together, eh?
57623Sudlow?"
57623Tell me, now, are my surmises, or guesses, or whatever you like to call them, very wide of the mark?''
57623That he was at Whiteash Cottage was proved by his note; why, then, had he omitted to accompany his mother to church?
57623The_ Parthenia_ did you say?
57623Then, with a strange harsh laugh which seemed to me to have an echo of insanity in it, he said:''Part as friends-- you and I?
57623WHO IS MRS. WINSLADE?
57623Was it not, rather, his duty to tell everything to the Vicar before the meeting in question took place?
57623What can I do for you?"
57623What can I get you?
57623What hidden meaning lay at the back of them?
57623What if he were to carry out the programme as laid down by his brother to Dunning?
57623What if he were to go on till then and make no sign?
57623What motive was at the bottom of his persistence?
57623What right had she to be there, hiding and listening?
57623What say you?"
57623What special object, may I ask, had you in view in giving me a certain story to read?''
57623What was there to hinder_ him_, from picking up a fortune?
57623When and how would he attempt to force his presence on me?
57623Where, then, was the motive for the crime?
57623Who could have believed in the possibility of such a thing?"
57623Who is she?''
57623Who should stand by him now this great trouble has come upon him if not I, to whom he has given the greatest treasure a man has to give?"
57623Who was her midnight visitor?
57623Why had her lover not written to her in the course of the week, as he had promised to do?
57623Why should he be less lucky than others?
57623Why, then, not----?"
57623Winslade?"
57623Winslade?"
57623Winslade?''
57623Would it not, in such a case, go hard with the pair of us, innocent though we are?''
57623_ I_ take Annabel Glyn for a walk?
57623may heretofore have existed between yourself and this unhappy young man?"
57623or has the curtain yet to rise on another act?
5660About Sarah? 5660 Again, father?"
5660Am I that?
5660And do n''t you get dreadfully lonesome at night?
5660And so?
5660And the book was taken by someone?
5660And what do you think of it, Gran''pa Jim?
5660And when will he be back?
5660And you say it is missing?
5660And your Department knows of its existence?
5660Are n''t you his granddaughter?
5660Are you really a colonel?
5660Are you sure?
5660But what was it about?
5660But why should he wish to hide?
5660But why, if these pictures are really harmful, does Mr. Welland exhibit them at his theatre?
5660But you will consider this conversation confidential, will you not?
5660By the way,said the little man,"is n''t there a place called Bigbee''s, near here?"
5660Ca n''t I stay here, with you?
5660Can you manage your grip alone?
5660Cipher, eh?
5660Could it be used?
5660Could you prove that statement?
5660Did n''t Gran''pa Jim send me any letter, or-- any information at all?
5660Did n''t I tell you?
5660Did n''t you recognize me?
5660Do n''t Will Morrison have a car? 5660 Do n''t you know?"
5660Do n''t you think Agatha Lord stole that missing book?
5660Do you believe my grandfather is a bad man?
5660Do you cook your own meals?
5660Do you hear that, Gran''pa Jim?
5660Do you know his name to be Weatherby-- or is it Hathaway?
5660Do you mean that you WILL not?
5660Do you not know?
5660Do you remember our referring to an old letter, the other day?
5660Do you remember the address of the Conants, at Dorfield?
5660Do you remember your father?
5660Does n''t Irene know?
5660Does n''t it seem to reflect on our characters?
5660Does she-- eh-- snoop around much?
5660Drive?
5660Eh? 5660 Feel better?"
5660Field glasses, eh? 5660 Going far?"
5660Has the funeral been held?
5660Have you any idea of redeeming it?
5660Have you any-- any-- news of Gran''pa Jim?
5660Have you been eating and sleeping here?
5660Have you had breakfast?
5660Have you your notebook here?
5660He did n''t say where he was going?
5660Heh? 5660 Here?"
5660Hev ye got a order from Will Morrison, in writin''?
5660Honor bright?
5660How about this girl''s board money?
5660How are you, partner? 5660 How could they go, Uncle?"
5660How did you learn that?
5660How do you know?
5660How do you like being a sleuth?
5660How fer?
5660How kin I? 5660 How much do you want to borrow on this lot?"
5660How?
5660I wonder who that can be?
5660I wonder why it has chosen us for its victims?
5660I, Miss Lord?
5660Important?
5660In the Lodge?
5660In what way did they make it uncomfortable for you?
5660In what way?
5660In what way?
5660Indeed?
5660Is it possible that an innocent man would change his name and hide, rather than face an unjust accusation?
5660Is it really so late?
5660Is n''t he being shadowed?
5660Is that Bigbee''s, over yonder?
5660Is that true?
5660Is this action approved by your mother, or-- or-- by your grandfather?
5660Is this straight?
5660Known to the department?
5660May I get her something, Aunt Hannah?
5660Me? 5660 Me?
5660Meanin''Talbot? 5660 Miss Lord?"
5660Nor you, Aunt Hannah?
5660Now?
5660Oh; has he a tank of gasoline here?
5660Oh; so she hired you a year in advance and did n''t tell you, afterward, that she was going abroad?
5660Oh; then you have heard from Gran''pa Jim?
5660Oh; then you know his address?
5660Or leave any address?
5660Seems like a real sport-- fer a gal-- don''t she?
5660So you do not approve of the pictures, Mary Louise?
5660Suppose we let Miss Irene read it?
5660That proves, of course, that Gran''pa Jim and mother are in California, But how did the detective know that?
5660The Hathaway case?
5660The letter is authentic, then?
5660The letter which I found in the book?
5660The tires are in the cellar, you say? 5660 Then how dare you even suggest it?"
5660Then some of you intercepted the telegram?
5660Then where are they?
5660Then who could have sent you here?
5660Then why did your grandfather run away?
5660Then why do n''t you prove it by showing me the letter?
5660Then why not do so and by restoring Mary Louise to her grandfather make them both happy?
5660Then you are Government agents?
5660Then-- has anything happened to-- to-- mother?
5660There are no near neighbors, are there?
5660There are some new developments, then, O''Gorman?
5660There can be no reason in the world, Mary Louise,she averred,"why your private affairs are of any interest to outsiders, except--""Well, Irene?"
5660This is an astonishing change in your life, is it not? 5660 Was n''t that the book you found the letter in?"
5660Well, what''s that got to do with this insulting order to stay in evenings?
5660Well; what then, Miss Lord?
5660What DID he say?
5660What are you doing here?
5660What are your affairs to Agatha Lord?
5660What boy?
5660What caused her affliction?
5660What cushion do you refer to?
5660What did it say?
5660What do YOU think of it, Mary Louise?
5660What do they imagine he has done that is wrong?
5660What do you mean by running away?
5660What do you think, Mary Louise,demanded Jennie, as the girl paused before them,"of this latest outrage?"
5660What do you want?
5660What for?
5660What is on that black ribbon around your neck?
5660What letter are you talking about?
5660What letter is this that you have referred to?
5660What number do you want?
5660What outrage, Jen?
5660What sort of girls are they?
5660What''s the use firin''thet high- brow stuff at me?
5660What''s up?
5660What''s wrong with them?
5660What''s your idea about it, Mary Louise?
5660When did he go?
5660When did he say he''d send it?
5660When?
5660Where did Mr. Conant find it?
5660Where did the boy go?
5660Where is Mr. Morrison''s man?
5660Where is he?
5660Where on earth have you come from?
5660Where?
5660Who are the Morrisons?
5660Who are you, Miss Lord?
5660Who are you?
5660Who are you?
5660Who is Agatha Lord, and why did they send her here as principal, with Nan as her maid?
5660Who? 5660 Why are you our neighbor?"
5660Why did n''t they come, then?
5660Why did n''t you obey me?
5660Why did n''t you tell me?
5660Why do n''t you make your own discoveries?
5660Why do n''t you put on the tires and use the car?
5660Why has he been hunted all these years?
5660Why not, my dear?
5660Why not? 5660 Why not?"
5660Why should she?
5660Why should you attach any importance to that?
5660Why?
5660Will you ask her to send my trunk?
5660Will you come with me to my room?
5660Will you ride with me to Millbank to- morrow?
5660Wo n''t Nan be wild, though, when she finds I''ve beaten her and won the case for Hathaway?
5660Would n''t, eh? 5660 Would you be safe in that out- of- the- way place?"
5660Yes?
5660Yes?
5660Yes?
5660You do n''t, eh? 5660 You refuse, then, to let me go?"
5660You''ve read the letter, I suppose, and are now making fun of me for trying to get it? 5660 Your report?"
5660After a time she asked:"What are you and Aunt Polly going to do, Uncle?"
5660And, Uncle Peter, what, do you think of Miss Lord?"
5660And, by the way, have you noticed anything suspicious about our hired girl?"
5660And, even if detectives were placed here to watch your actions, they would n''t be interested in spying upon ME, would they?"
5660Are n''t they here, with you?"
5660Are n''t you glad?"
5660Are you Talbot''s boy?"
5660At dinner she asked:"Did you take a book from my room to- day, Mary Louise?"
5660Bub''s hesitation vanished, but he asked anxiously:"Tain''t go''n''to do no harm to them gals thet''s stoppin''here, is it?"
5660But how did he happen to be there?
5660But she quickly controlled her surprise and asked in a calm voice, as she faced him:"What''s up, O''Gorman?"
5660But tell me, why did n''t you nab Hathaway at Dorfield?"
5660But where had she heard the name of Hathaway before?
5660But where?"
5660But-- see here, Dad-- are you still working for the Department?"
5660CHAPTER V OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION"And you say they are gone?"
5660Can not the law make a mistake, Aunt Hannah?"
5660Can you accept her judgment, Mary Louise?
5660Can you feed me?"
5660Can you steadfastly ignore any aspersions that may be cast upon my good name?"
5660Conant?"
5660Conant?"
5660Conant?"
5660Could it be true?
5660D''ye know where Mark''s Peak is?"
5660Did it belong to any of her schoolgirl friends?
5660Did n''t he leave an address?"
5660Did n''t you say Will had a man for caretaker?
5660Did n''t you see it posted on the blackboard this morning?
5660Did the lawyer''s wife know more than she had admitted?
5660Do n''t you realize what you''re up against?"
5660Do you admit the truth of the statements contained in this letter?"
5660Do you drive your own car?"
5660Do you know how?"
5660Do you know what we''re after?"
5660Do you think you can follow these instructions?"
5660Do you think,"she added,"that the Secret Service employs female detectives?"
5660Do you understand all this, Mary Louise?"
5660Do you understand that?"
5660Ever hear of O''Gorman?"
5660Had he not told her to have faith in him, whatever happened?
5660Had she accidentally stumbled upon him, or had he purposely placed himself in her path to assure her that escape from him was impossible?
5660Hathaway?"
5660Have you considered how a knowledge of the truth will affect her?"
5660Have you ever heard of''harlequin fate''?
5660Have you no mercy-- no compassion?"
5660He glared at her with a scowl for a moment and then demanded:"Where''s Hathaway?"
5660Her toilet was almost complete when Mary Louise suddenly exclaimed:"Why, what has become of your chair cushion?"
5660How about that letter?
5660How did the girl-- Mary Louise-- take her mother''s death?"
5660How do you account for all that, Irene?"
5660How have you been getting along?"
5660I can not help that, can I?"
5660I felt like giving her a good shaking, did n''t you?
5660I object to being hurried, do n''t you, Mary Louise?"
5660I suppose your family left Beverly this morning, by the early train?"
5660I wonder what drove us from it?"
5660If he writes you, or you learn what has become of him, will you tell me?"
5660If so, why was everyone trying to keep her in the dark?
5660If they arrested him, do you think they would put him in jail, Aunt Hannah?"
5660Indeed, his first words proved this, for he asked sternly:"Why are you here?"
5660Is it necessary for me to find it?"
5660Is my room ready?"
5660Is n''t that a glad prospect?
5660Is she in Hathaway''s pay?"
5660Is there any oil?"
5660It was Peter Conant who faced the speaker and demanded:"What do you mean by that statement?"
5660It was a strange girl, who asked in a meek voice:"Is this Hillcrest Lodge?"
5660Lord?"
5660May I have a lift?"
5660May I take this book home, Irene?
5660Me?
5660Mr. Hathaway had been growing uneasy and now addressed Officer O''Gorman in a protesting voice:"Is this reading necessary, sir?"
5660Now, tell me, how''s mother?"
5660Or even a persecuted grandfather?
5660Shall we disregard the order, and do as we please, or be namby- pambies and submit to the outrage?
5660She must have overheard the conversation in the living room, for she came beside the lawyer and asked:"When did Mrs. Burrows die?"
5660She-- eh-- was under a-- eh-- under a nervous strain; a severe nervous strain, you know, and--""Is she dead?"
5660Should she prove disloyal just because a brutal officer and an irresponsible newspaper editor had branded her dear grandfather a criminal?
5660So why should n''t I be kind to a helpless, unfortunate girl?"
5660So you know about the letter, do you?"
5660Then Agatha and I are out of it?"
5660Then she said with a sigh of relief:"It''s a queer world, is n''t it, Mr. Conant?
5660Then, turning to O''Gorman, she continued:"So Hathaway''s coming, is he?
5660Want to take a ride now?"
5660We''re friends, then?"
5660We''re to be friends, are we not?
5660Wha''d''ye think I am-- a KID?"
5660What book is missing?"
5660What did Irene do with the letter?"
5660What do you wish to say to me, Miss Lord?"
5660What should there be about Sarah Judd to frighten anyone?"
5660What the Sam Hill is they to be lonesome over?"
5660What''s a twisted ankle or a shriveled leg to do with happiness?
5660When did Mrs. Morrison tell you that?"
5660When they came to the garage the lawyer halted, more winded than Bub, and demanded sharply:"What is needed to put the car in shape to run?"
5660Where did he go?"
5660Where is Hathaway-- or Weatherby-- or whatever he calls himself?"
5660Where is Mrs. Morrison, please?"
5660Where is he?"
5660Where is he?"
5660Where shall we go, Gran''pa Jim?"
5660Where''s Nan?"
5660Where, then, COULD she go?
5660Who is she, O''Gorman, and why did the Chief cut under us by planting Sarah Judd in the Conants''household?"
5660Who knew about that letter?"
5660Who wrote the letter?
5660Why ca n''t you give me an honest tip?
5660Why did n''t you stick it out?
5660Why did n''t you tell me of this before I left the Lodge?"
5660Why had n''t she thought of this simple method of communication before?
5660Why not keep her?"
5660Why not?"
5660Why should n''t we accept Will Morrison''s proposition to occupy it?"
5660Will you allow me to sit down awhile?
5660Will you make the proper arrangements, Peter?"
5660Will you promise to do this?"
5660With hesitation she asked:"Do you suppose you could find him for me?"
5660Yet why were they closeted in the library so long, and how could the meeting with that insolent stranger affect Colonel Weatherby so strongly?
5660Yet-- what did she know of Hathaway?
5660You have decided to stay, then?"
5660cried Hathaway indignantly, starting to his feet;"how dare you throw the burden on this poor child?
5660she cried admiringly, as she looked at her bonds,"What next, Nan?"
55376A lady?
55376A lady?
55376A woman?
55376About what time?
55376About what?
55376About what?
55376All the better for Desmond, dear boy, hey?
55376Amelia dead-- murdered-- by whom?
55376And Calliston?
55376And Lady Balscombe?
55376And are they living with Captain Dicksfall?
55376And did she?
55376And for what?
55376And had he not reason?
55376And now?
55376And of Lady Balscombe''s visit to these rooms?
55376And she doubtless told you of her visit to Lady Balscombe''s house?
55376And that is?
55376And that risk?
55376And the name of that some one?
55376And the other young lady,he asked,"Miss Amelia?"
55376And what are those wonderful letters?
55376And what have you to say about it?
55376And what time did Lady Balscombe leave?
55376And what time did you leave?
55376And what''s all this got to do with me?
55376And where did you leave Lady Balscombe on the night you visited her?
55376And who are you?
55376And who was it?
55376And you attend to all the lodgers?
55376And you found her?
55376And you will speak?
55376And you,questioned Dowker, turning to Norwood,"think it was Lady Balscombe that Desmond saw?"
55376And you? 55376 And you?"
55376And''ai nt she?
55376Any security?
55376Are any of the servants of this house missing?
55376Are you employed by Sir Rupert?
55376Are you ill?
55376Are you mad?
55376Are you the servant?
55376At what time?
55376Bah!--who will believe your word against mine? 55376 Bah!--who would believe you?"
55376Balscombe fond of her?
55376Both of the same lady?
55376Broke no new ground-- hey?
55376But I thought she went off with you?
55376But he would be sure to see about it in the morning papers?
55376But now for your strong reasons not to tell the real name of the dead woman?
55376But this dagger?
55376But who would take it from her and use it?
55376But why should he refuse to tell you it was her?
55376But you are innocent?
55376But you are sure she did not leave till after twelve?
55376But you do n''t think Calliston killed this woman?
55376But you do n''t think he murdered Lady Balscombe?
55376By whom?
55376Can I believe in any man''s honour?
55376Can not I see the lady herself?
55376Can not you tell them to me now?
55376Can we see her?
55376Can you ask her to come along here and see you? 55376 Can you ask?"
55376Can you bear a shock?
55376Can you describe her dress?
55376Can you describe it?
55376Can you rise?
55376Can you tell me all that took place on that night?
55376Could Lady Balscombe have had any interest in her sister''s death?
55376Could you let me see your mistress''s private desk?
55376Did I, indeed?
55376Did Miss Sarschine state on the night of her murder where she was going?
55376Did Mr. Desmond tell you this?
55376Did he go alone?
55376Did he say anything?
55376Did no one call while you were there?
55376Did she go out alone?
55376Did she know he was going to elope with Lady Balscombe?
55376Did she leave a letter for him?
55376Did she see anyone when she came the second time?
55376Did she see him?
55376Did the swell see Jem Mux?
55376Did you leave her there?
55376Did you not hear of the Jermyn Street murder?
55376Did you recognise the man?
55376Did you see anyone at that time?
55376Did you see him off?
55376Did you try?
55376Do n''t you believe it?
55376Do they incriminate him?
55376Do you believe this story?
55376Do you know I can arrest you on suspicion?
55376Do you know the name of anyone who admired her?
55376Do you know this?
55376Do you know who my wife was?
55376Do you mean to accuse me of this murder?
55376Do you read the papers?
55376Do you remember seeing a broken dagger about the place-- a blade and a handle?
55376Do you say that is Lady Balscombe?
55376Do you want to know anything more?
55376Does Lady Balscombe reciprocate her husband''s adoration?
55376Does this man suspect you?
55376Eh? 55376 Feeling bad?"
55376First,asked Dowker,"do you remember the night when Lady Balscombe eloped?"
55376First,asked Norwood,"do you dust this room and put things straight?"
55376First-- did you see Miss Sarschine on Monday?
55376From whom is your message?
55376Ha,said Dowker, suddenly recollecting the date of the murder,"yesterday?"
55376Had you any idea who it was?
55376Has Lord Calliston bin doing anything wrong?
55376Have you any idea where Sir Rupert could have put it?
55376Have you come to arrest my wife?
55376Have you seen her?
55376Have you the keys?
55376Her murder-- her-- what do you mean?
55376His life-- a murderer?
55376How are you so certain?
55376How can I tell?
55376How can he do that?
55376How could I recognise any one on such a foggy night?
55376How did you know this hiding- place?
55376How do you know I am?
55376How do you know I was down at Brighton?
55376How do you know Lady Balscombe was my sister?
55376How do you know my wife did not leave till after twelve?
55376How do you know?
55376How do you know?
55376How often did Miss Sarschine call on Monday?
55376How should I know?
55376How so?
55376How so?
55376How the deuce did you know I was there?
55376How?
55376Hullo,said Myles crossly,"what the deuce is the matter?"
55376I have the one, but the other-- where is it?
55376I see what you mean, but what has Lady Balscombe to do with it?
55376I suppose so; but why do you ask all these questions?
55376I thought he loved no one but himself-- so!--and who is my lady?
55376I thought so, and why did you go there?
55376I understood you had two daughters, sir, Lady Balscombe and Miss Helena Dicksfall?
55376I want you to do something for me-- are you hungry?
55376I went to Madame Rêne and she told me you bought it from her; but who was the dead woman?
55376I went to the Frivolity Theatre, then to the office of the newspaper,_ Hash_, and afterwards----"Well?
55376I wish to know,said Dowker,"if you are aware that your wife called at Lord Calliston''s chambers on the night of the murder?"
55376I wonder if he knows it''s the same man? 55376 I''m afraid to say-- I''m afraid to say; how was she dressed?"
55376If I refuse?
55376Is he in?
55376Is it a woman?
55376Is she then so ill?
55376Is that reason-- a woman?
55376Is that so?
55376Is there any reason-- strong reason?
55376Is there not a lady on board?
55376Is there one?
55376It ca n''t be suicide?
55376Kill him-- not herself?
55376Lady Balscombe could not have gone out in the meantime?
55376Lena Sarschine?
55376May I ask how you know?
55376Mean? 55376 Meanwhile?"
55376Might it not have been Sir Rupert?
55376Miss Sarchine,she replied quickly;"but what is the matter with her face?"
55376Miss Sarschine?
55376Miss Sarschine?
55376My father,she murmured, turning pale,"you have seen him?
55376No one,replied the detective;"but did she?"
55376No, not at all,replied Norwood,"but tell me, did Mr. Desmond come back on that night?"
55376No; do you allude to any particular servant?
55376No; how could he?
55376Not one? 55376 Now, what the deuce was that portrait doing in her desk?"
55376Nowhere else?
55376Of course it is to your interest to say that-- but who will believe you with such strong evidence against you?
55376Of whom?
55376Oh!--and when did you see it?
55376Oh, so I suppose she went to bed?
55376Oh, so you did n''t find out everything from the lady you saw on board the yacht?
55376Oh,said Dowker, stroking his chin;"so you were in town after all on that night?"
55376One seems to be surrounded with spies-- perhaps you can tell me how I spent the rest of the night?
55376Perhaps you can tell me who did?
55376Perhaps you recognise these letters?
55376Poison?
55376Pray what is your second?
55376Save him?
55376Sent by Sir Rupert, I presume?
55376She could not have gone out without attracting the notice of the servants, I suppose?
55376Sir Rupert Balscombe?
55376So far, so good,said Norwood, taking up the arrow- head,"but what is this?"
55376So have I,answered Dowker with decision,"there is something in it familiar; but is this the locket you have seen Lady Balscombe wear?"
55376Surely he is n''t going to confess he murdered the woman himself?
55376Surely you do n''t think I killed Lady Balscombe?
55376Tell me, where is Calliston? 55376 That was easy enough,"said?
55376The night when she eloped?
55376Then I suppose you mean to denounce me?
55376Then how did you know he went?
55376Then we can work together?
55376Then what do you want to know from me?
55376Then who was it?
55376Then who was the lady you saw on that night?
55376Then why arrest him?
55376Then you are now Lady Calliston?
55376Then you refuse to give me the name of the woman whom you saw on Monday night?
55376Then you think Sir Rupert guilty?
55376There were no other daggers taken from the house I suppose?
55376This is a plot, is it, to mix up Lady Balscombe with your mistress? 55376 To attend to business,"replied Dowker,"and by the way, where does Mr. Desmond live?"
55376To see me?
55376Two daughters?
55376Was Lady Balscombe to meet you there?
55376Was Lena Sarschine your daughter?
55376Was Mr. Desmond here on that evening by accident?
55376Was he sober?
55376Was it a real lady?
55376Was it sent?
55376Was the dagger still on the table?
55376Well you are generally right in your surmises,retorted Ellersby,"but what would Miss Penfold say to that?"
55376Well, Mr. Dowker, what do you want to see me about?
55376Well, Mr. Dowker,said Madame when the detective had taken his seat in her private office and closed the door,"what is the matter now?
55376Well, well, Mr. Desmond, I suppose you can give a good account of yourself on that night?
55376Well, what else have you found out, and how did you manage to acquire your information?
55376Well,he said in an unsteady voice,"and what have I to do with it?"
55376Well,she said coldly,"now you have found out my relationship with Lady Balscombe, what do you want to see me about?"
55376Well?
55376Were your very strong reasons connected with the murder?
55376What about her?
55376What about?
55376What about?
55376What could she know about this woman''s death?
55376What devilry is this?
55376What do you mean?
55376What do you mean?
55376What do you mean?
55376What do you mean?
55376What do you say?
55376What do you want now?
55376What do you want to know?
55376What do you want to see him about?
55376What enemies had she?
55376What for?
55376What for?
55376What happened when she came home?
55376What has he to do with this?
55376What have I to do with your marriage?
55376What is it he refuses to tell you?
55376What is it, my good man?
55376What is she like?
55376What on earth should he want to kill her for? 55376 What time was that?"
55376What was his name?
55376What was she doing in Jermyn Street?
55376What weapon did she use?
55376What will you do now?
55376What''s up?
55376What?
55376What?
55376When did Lord Calliston leave town for his yacht?
55376When shall I see you again?
55376When will you get it?
55376Where are you stopping?
55376Where did you find them?
55376Where did you go in the meantime?
55376Where did you see her last?
55376Where does he live?
55376Where have you been getting money?
55376Where is the dagger that used to be on the wall?
55376Where to?
55376Where was Sir Rupert all this time?
55376Where was his yacht lying?
55376Where?
55376Where?
55376Who are you?
55376Who can it be?
55376Who is Helena?
55376Who is that?
55376Who says I saw her?
55376Who says so?
55376Who the devil are you to intrude yourself into my private affairs?
55376Who was the man who passed you in pursuit of the woman?
55376Who were going to?
55376Who wore?
55376Whom did you think Calliston had gone off with?
55376Whose marriage?
55376Why did she attach such value to it?
55376Why did you not go straight home?
55376Why did you not tell us all this before?
55376Why did you quarrel with your friend?
55376Why do you ask?
55376Why do you come and disturb me at this hour? 55376 Why do you come to me for information?"
55376Why do you start?
55376Why hang it,said Marton, when this little transaction was concluded,"you''re not fit to marry-- drink, dear boy-- bad thing, hey?"
55376Why not sell the necklace?
55376Why not?
55376Why not?
55376Why not?
55376Why place your neck in a noose for the sake of any woman?
55376Why, do n''t you know?
55376Why, in that case,said Norwood,"you must mean Lady Balscombe?"
55376Why? 55376 Why?"
55376Why?
55376Why?
55376Why?
55376Why?
55376Will I take your name up, sir?
55376Will you allow me to look at it?
55376Will you kindly tell me what you want?
55376Will you tell me the reason for your decision?
55376With Lady Balscombe?
55376Wot for?
55376Wot''s h''up, guv''nor?
55376Yes,she went on rapidly,"the hat is mine; how did you find out I was the owner?"
55376Yes; can you doubt me?
55376Yes; do you know any of the servants?
55376Yes; have I the pleasure----?
55376Yes; where did you get this?
55376Yes?--and it is----?
55376Yet I understand before you found the body you met Mr. Desmond coming up St. James''s Street?
55376You ai n''t going to arrest him for this murder?
55376You are Mr. Desmond''s lawyer?
55376You are as cross as two sticks-- anyone been proposing to you?
55376You came home?
55376You did not know him?
55376You did not overhear their conversation?
55376You did not see your friend after she left Lord Calliston''s chambers?
55376You do n''t think Mr. Desmond did it, sir?
55376You do n''t think Mr. Desmond guilty, do you, my Lord?
55376You do not know anyone who had a grudge against her?
55376You do not say my wife is guilty of this murder?
55376You knew Lady Balscombe was murdered, and not Lena Sarschine?
55376You knew it was your wife that was dead?
55376You know all about it then, my lord?
55376You scoundrel!--do you mean to say I killed my wife?
55376You see this?
55376You seem to have obtained all your information beforehand,he said with a sneer;"perhaps you''ll tell me what you want to know from me?"
55376You told me it was Miss Sarschine visited Mr. Desmond on that night?
55376You want to see Miss Sarschine?
55376You wish to see me?
55376Your moral character?
55376Your name is Dowker-- you are a detective-- you want to see me about the Jermyn Street murder?
55376''''Ungry?''
55376''Ave you bin h''over the gardin- wall arter a prig?"
55376''Ere,"suddenly, as Dowker touched him with his foot,"what the blazes are you kicking?
55376About three months ago he met some great lady----""Lady Balscombe?"
55376About what time was this?"
55376And what was she doing in Jermyn Street that night?"
55376At this moment, a sudden thought flashed across Dowker''s mind-- could it have been Lady Balscombe herself who had the interview with Desmond?
55376But tell me, what are you going to do with that other dagger?"
55376Can you not believe in my honour?"
55376Come, tell me, was it Lady Balscombe you saw on that night?"
55376Did n''t Miss Sarschine return home when she discovered Calliston had gone off with Lady Balscombe?"
55376Did she overhear your conversation?"
55376Dowker?"
55376Ellersby, my boy,"said The Town- crier, on the alert to acquire fresh information"have you come back once more to England, home and beauty-- hey?
55376Had she any lovers?"
55376He left his chambers to catch the ten minutes past nine train from London Bridge; but did he catch it?
55376How could you be such a fool?"
55376I cannot,"--then suddenly struck by a thought she asked,"Why did you think the dead woman was me?"
55376I do n''t believe her guilty of this crime-- do you?"
55376I wonder if she walked or took a cab?
55376If you did not kill Lady Balscombe, what is the name of the person who did?"
55376Is Helena dead?"
55376Is that all you want to know?
55376Is there no place where we can wait?"
55376May I ask your name?"
55376My doctor has ordered complete rest, and how can I get it if you trouble me?"
55376Myles Desmond uttered an oath, and asked sharply:"Who told you that?"
55376Norwood?"
55376Now I wonder what she wants?"
55376Ses''e to the gal, ses''e,''Is that''ere sparrin''comin''ort this evenin''?''
55376Tell me, what was Lady Balscombe like?"
55376The name of the assassin?"
55376Was it possible that he had killed Miss Sarschine and was then coming away from the scene of his crime?
55376What are you going to do with the other?"
55376What are you having?"
55376What do you want to know?"
55376What do you wish to know?"
55376When will the British aristocracy learn that they must not covet their neighbour''s wife?
55376Where are you going?"
55376Where are you stopping?"
55376Where have they gone to?"
55376Who are the new beauties?"
55376Who is she, what is she, and where does she live?"
55376Who the deuce would have expected to see you in Piccadilly on such a devil of a night?"
55376Who''s dead-- not Lord Calliston?"
55376Will you favour my suit?"
55376You saw Miss-- Miss----"here he glanced at Totty as if doubtful to announce his marriage,"Miss Sarschine?"
55376You see this?"
55376and what time did your friend leave?"
55376as a knock came to the door,"who''s that?"
55376asked Dowker with a sigh,"more trouble?"
55376asked Mrs. Povy uneasily,"a noospaper or a politics?"
55376been all over the world I suppose, hey?--going to publish a book of travels-- hey?"
55376cried the baronet, white with fury;"where are your proofs?"
55376echoed Lydia in astonishment,"why what would she want to do there?"
55376echoed May in astonishment,"why what would take her there?"
55376echoed Miss Lifford in a scared tone,"who is murdered-- not Lady Balscombe?"
55376echoed Norwood, and quickly replaced it in the drawer,"how do you know?"
55376enquired Totty gruffly, annoyed at being disturbed,"and what do you want?"
55376have any been lately dismissed?"
55376he muttered, as he left the gallery,"and why should Lydia Fenny mistake it for her mistress?
55376he said in an angry tone,"do you want me to give evidence implicating my friend?"
55376observed Lydia on seeing her,"is this you, Anne?"
55376repeated Desmond;"who was she?"
55376said Lydia after a pause,"you do n''t think then that Mr. Desmond is guilty?"
55376she asked quietly--"Is it to see Lord Calliston?"
55376she did not make any remark that would lead you to believe she was going to Lady Balscombe''s?"
55376she said, under her breath,"what does it all mean?"
55376what did you answer?"
55376what jury would believe that?"
55376what other man could there have been?"
55376what''s that?"
7685Ah, Lucretia, but can Sir Miles St. John see my future rise in my present obscurity?
7685And her education has been, of course, neglected?
7685And how is that dear good Fielden? 7685 And if I do?"
7685And love too?
7685And, by the way, I am thinking that it would be well if you and Mrs. Fielden-- you are married, sir? 7685 Ardworth,--a goodish name; Ardworth of Yorkshire?"
7685But if I were ambitious, what field for ambition could I find in London?
7685But,answered Mainwaring, hesitatingly,"can you conceive it possible that your uncle ever will consent?
7685Dare you despise him? 7685 Do you not think that Mr. Monderling-- Mandolin-- what''s his name, eh?--do you not think that he is a very handsome young fellow?"
7685Do you not think that all will miss you? 7685 Do you think if you were master of Laughton that your career would not be more brilliant than that of yon indolent, luxurious coxcomb?
7685Gabriel,whispered the Frenchman, in his own tongue,"where are they at this moment?"
7685Half?
7685Has the great spider devoured the small one?
7685How is it,he thought, as he turned impatiently from the casement,"that I am baffled here where my fortunes seemed most assured?
7685Is it you, Father?
7685Mr. Vernon? 7685 Then the clergyman had a daughter?"
7685What is the batch to- day?
7685What sport, Ardworth?
7685When?
7685Who, sir?
7685Who? 7685 You think my uncle would be proud to give my hand to M. Olivier Dalibard?"
7685You think you can despise admiration?
7685You were saying, but-- But what, Sir Miles?
7685And for what?
7685And she seems pleased with Vernon: who would not be?"
7685And the man died poor,--not in want, not in want?"
7685And the other?"
7685And your little grandson-- vaccinated, eh?
7685Ardworth, I may trust you?"
7685Ardworth, as you are so near, dare I ask you to ring the bell?''
7685Are there no philters to change the current of desire?
7685Are you not Lucretia''s spy, while you are pretending to be mine?
7685Are you not playing false to me?
7685But had he got at the true secret of the lamp itself?
7685But you are, then, acquainted with Fielden?"
7685Butterfly of the summer, why should a nation rise to break thee upon the wheel?
7685Can cultivation force from the soil that which it is against the nature of the soil to bear?"
7685Did he not discard your mother-- his own sister-- from his house and heart for no other offence but a second marriage which he deemed beneath her?
7685Do you suppose, Miss Clavering, that your uncle has not ere this asked for his fair niece?
7685Do you think that there is a chance of so happy an event?"
7685Does Mr. Vernon know that you would permit the alliance?"
7685Has he ever even consented to see, much less to receive, your half- sister, the child of that marriage?
7685Have you seen the last news from the army?"
7685Have you stolen your interview with the superb Lucretia?"
7685How are they off?"
7685If I once presumed for a moment, have I repeated my offence?
7685Is he unworthy of me?
7685Is not his very affection for you interwoven with his pride in you, with his belief in your ambition?
7685Is not pride-- the pride of family-- almost the leading attribute of his character?
7685Look round the world; contemplate all those who have married from passion: ten years afterwards, whither has the passion flown?
7685Lucretia''s eyes fell musingly on the ground; but she resumed, after a short pause,--"What does my uncle himself say?"
7685Lucretia, however, remained silent, till at last the baronet, colouring, as if ashamed of his curiosity, said,--"Is your sister like your mother?"
7685Mainwaring, I trust you have not deceived me; you have not amused yourself with breaking Susan''s heart?
7685May not my poor Susan have at least the comfort to embrace her sister?"
7685My dear Mrs. Vesey, you and I are old friends, you know; many a minuet we have danced together, eh?
7685Of what thought the man?
7685One poor youth,--in the shop, of course?"
7685That he is good and honest?"
7685This is the primordium,--now comes the confession, eh?"
7685This was the only sign that she was moved: moved, but how?
7685This young man,--can you be guilty of the folly of more than a passing caprice for his society, of more than the amusement of playing with his vanity?
7685Verily and indeed were the old heathens mistaken?
7685Vernon?"
7685Was he aiming at her secret?
7685Was he hinting at intentions of his own?
7685Was it handsome?
7685Was it repelling?
7685Was this affection?
7685Was this stupidity, or what?
7685We are young, dear Mainwaring: what is a year or two to those who hope?"
7685Well, ladies, I hope you have enjoyed yourselves?
7685Well, then, the doctor has left no relations that I can aid in any way?"
7685What can books teach thee, pale girl?
7685What did they discover?"
7685What does it matter?
7685What hast thou, young girl, strong in health and rich in years, with the lore of the leech,--with prognostics and symptoms and diseases?
7685What is in that niche?
7685What the deuce do you mean?
7685What think you, then, of my plan?"
7685Where is your father?"
7685Who has just left Lucretia yonder?"
7685Who?
7685Why should there be any one to weep for me?
7685Why?
7685do you still miss your mother?"
7685said Lucretia, raising her tall form to its utmost height, and haughtily facing her inquisitor,--"and, if I do, what then?
7685what is the volume?
40348A bailiff or a policeman, Alexander? 40348 A daughter?
40348A detective?
40348A double? 40348 A fireplace?"
40348A ghost?
40348A girl? 40348 A hen?"
40348A hundred pounds? 40348 A hundred pounds?"
40348A trifle slow to- night, Pendarvon-- eh?
40348A woman? 40348 A woman?"
40348A woman?
40348About this woman of whom we have heard-- was there nothing about her which you noticed?
40348About you, Mr. Haines? 40348 Accident?
40348After death?
40348Again I am compelled to ask, why do you wish to marry me?--me, in particular?
40348Again, I ask you, what do you mean by that?
40348Am I likely to forget it?
40348Am I the first to whom you have wished good morning?
40348Ambitions?
40348An accessory after the fact?
40348And am I to understand that this person believes that you committed murder, and is prepared to go into the witness- box and swear it?
40348And fluffed it?
40348And how wide?
40348And if she is n''t?
40348And now may I venture to ask you why you have told me this extremely interesting scrap of news?
40348And pray, madam, how do I stand?
40348And that is?
40348And what''s the clue?
40348And when you''ve wished it out, what then?
40348And you got it?
40348And you would be that particular kind of wife?
40348And you''re a man? 40348 And you-- may I ask what you are doing?"
40348And your point of view is?
40348Archie?
40348Are n''t the resources of civilisation sufficient to enable me to find my girl?
40348Are n''t you coming down into the smoking- room?
40348Are n''t you going to kiss me? 40348 Are you a cautious man?"
40348Are you a seer?
40348Are you afraid that I shall turn tail and rat? 40348 Are you afraid, or broke?
40348Are you coming down with me to Torquay by the three o''clock?
40348Are you fellows having a little game by yourselves?
40348Are you going to let Mr. Tennant hang?
40348Are you meditating active interposition?
40348Are you prepared to swear it?
40348Are you quite sure, Lucy, that you would not like to have me with you-- nor any one-- even as far as Lewes? 40348 Are you referring to the gentleman who has just been kind enough to come and see me?
40348Are you related to the prisoner?
40348Are you responsible, then, for what the papers have christened the Three Bridges Tragedy?
40348Are you so deaf? 40348 Are you suggesting that I''m a thief?"
40348Are you sure the police are after him? 40348 Are you sure?"
40348Are you the person who travelled in the next compartment to my husband''s from Brighton?
40348Are you trying to think of where you heard the name before? 40348 Are you?
40348Aristocrat? 40348 As evidence?
40348As for instance?
40348As for that man, is it not Paul Pry who says in the play,''I hope I do n''t intrude?''
40348At rest? 40348 Austin Friars?
40348Been looking for her? 40348 Before ascertaining if they are guilty?"
40348Between forty and fifty thousand pounds a year? 40348 Birds?
40348Brighton? 40348 Brighton?"
40348But if I love him?
40348But is there no hope now?
40348But, even then, what did she say to you, or what did you say to her, which could have caused such a disturbance? 40348 But, my dearest lady, you are aware that I am already engaged to be married?"
40348By the train, that is, which leaves Brighton at 8.40?
40348By the way, have you done anything for the Honour of the Club?
40348By what train did he return to town?
40348By which you mean?
40348Ca n''t I come with you? 40348 Ca n''t you do anything on a bit of stiff?"
40348Can it be possible that he lives in this street?
40348Can you not guess them?
40348Can you swear that she had not been drinking?
40348Can you tell me when the next train starts for London?
40348Can you, indeed, madam? 40348 Colonel, will you be first to draw?"
40348Courage?
40348Cousin? 40348 DEAR MR. TOWNSEND,--Will you come and dine with me one evening next week?
40348Dead!--You do n''t mean it!--How do you know?
40348Dead?
40348Did I say they were n''t going to hang him? 40348 Did any one come to see you on that day?"
40348Did he give you anything else?
40348Did he give you anything when you parted?
40348Did n''t I see that he was going to have something to do with this murder there''s all the stir about?
40348Did she not tell you?
40348Did she, indeed? 40348 Did she?"
40348Did you come up last night from Brighton? 40348 Did you ever see anything like my shooting?
40348Did you notice, for instance, if she had been drinking?
40348Did you rise up, like a sort of accusing spirit, from the middle of the bushes?
40348Did you throw the woman from the train?
40348Dinner?
40348Do I not tell you that you have given me a taste of it already?
40348Do n''t you hear me asking him?
40348Do n''t you think a father knows his daughter when he sees her in a picture? 40348 Do n''t you think he''s guilty?"
40348Do n''t you think the affair is rather an odd one?
40348Do n''t you think they''ll find him guilty, then?
40348Do n''t you think we ought to do what the firemen do-- have a full dress rehearsal? 40348 Do n''t you think,"he said,"that this is a little slow?
40348Do what?
40348Do you call murder an error of judgment?
40348Do you find the prisoner guilty or not guilty?
40348Do you know a man named Haines-- an American?
40348Do you know that we met each other, for the first time, on the night which the murder happened?
40348Do you know where she lived?
40348Do you know, I thought that you were that kind of woman from the first?
40348Do you mean I''m drunk?
40348Do you mean it-- really?
40348Do you mean it?
40348Do you mean it?
40348Do you mean that, if there is anything in these wild dreams of yours, you will kill the man who has killed your girl?
40348Do you mean to tell me that no one, neither your counsel nor your solicitor, nor any one else showed you them?
40348Do you mean while the train was moving?
40348Do you mind my leaving him here while I go and cash a cheque? 40348 Do you not agree with me, citizen, that it is good reading?
40348Do you not know what I mean? 40348 Do you propose to be present?"
40348Do you remember Sunday, the 8th of November?
40348Do you swear it was not more than a pound?
40348Do you swear it was not more than ten shillings?
40348Do you think he''s guilty?
40348Do you think it was a murder?
40348Do you think that if there had been any accident about it, the fellow who was with her would n''t have given the alarm? 40348 Do you?"
40348Do? 40348 Do?
40348Does not the same remark apply to you?
40348Eh, madam, might I have the pleasure of saying one word to you in private?
40348Excuse me, miss, but do you know your back''s all covered with weeds?
40348Excuse you, sir? 40348 Explains what?"
40348Fallen out?
40348Father? 40348 Fell out?"
40348Figure? 40348 Flatter you?
40348Fluffed it? 40348 For how long will you keep silence?"
40348For me?
40348For what?
40348Four what?
40348Fred, have we ever heard of Reginald Townsend?
40348Gentlemen, did I not tell you? 40348 Go?
40348Going to be married, was she? 40348 Going to change your coat?"
40348Got chucked from the Empire, eh? 40348 Governor, do you mind my speaking a little plainly?"
40348Had you seen her before?
40348Haines? 40348 Haines?
40348Haines?
40348Half mine? 40348 Has he any family?"
40348Has it? 40348 Has she gone?"
40348Have I been ill?
40348Have anything to eat?
40348Have n''t you a grain of pity? 40348 Have n''t you?"
40348Have you a cigar?
40348Have you a double, Mr. Townsend, moving about the world?
40348Have you any objection?
40348Have you any particular reason for remembering that it was by that train he returned to town?
40348Have you anything to say, prisoner, why sentence should not be pronounced against you?
40348Have you been there alone?
40348Have you bewitched me?
40348Have you ever heard of Mr. Reginald Townsend?
40348Have you ever heard of such a thing as an accessory after the fact?
40348Have you forgotten?
40348Have you heard of Mr. Reginald Townsend?
40348Have you heard of the Three Bridges Tragedy?
40348Have you heard of the Three Bridges tragedy?
40348Have you no ambitions, Townsend?
40348Have you no children?
40348Have you seen him lately?
40348Have you seen the evening papers?
40348Have you the Bank of England at your back?
40348Having been refused another small loan?
40348Having fixed a limit, is n''t it rather against the rules to travel outside? 40348 He has, has he?
40348His connection with the murderer?
40348Honour?
40348How am I going to help you any more than I have done? 40348 How are you feeling?"
40348How are you going to prove it?
40348How do you know it was I?
40348How is Minna?
40348How long have I been lying here?
40348How long is this bridge of yours?
40348How much shall we say?
40348How much?
40348How should I know what has brought you here, if it is not a desire to regain possession of your property? 40348 How?"
40348How?
40348I believe so; why?
40348I believe, Townsend, that your wealth scarcely exceeds the dreams of avarice-- eh?
40348I had been on the drink, had n''t I? 40348 I look it, madam-- how do you mean?"
40348I perceive that the names are similar; but I take it that, in spite of the similarity, you are in no way connected with the Three Bridges murderer?
40348I stand?
40348I suppose that the woman was a stranger to you-- that you had never seen her before?
40348I suppose you have n''t forgotten your engagement with Jardine?
40348I suppose, Mrs. Carruth, that you are jesting?
40348I wonder if that explains it?
40348I''ve been a good husband to you, have n''t I? 40348 I?
40348I? 40348 If in your life there are such ghosts, why did you ask me to marry you?"
40348If, as you say, the whole thing was an accident, why did you not sound the alarm?
40348In the presence of Mrs. Tennant you suggested that another small loan should be made you?
40348In trouble? 40348 In what sense, Miss Jardine?"
40348In what sense?
40348In what way?
40348Including the incident of the small loan?
40348Indeed? 40348 Indeed?
40348Is he received in respectable society?
40348Is it Parker?
40348Is it late?
40348Is it possible that he thinks you were killed?
40348Is it possible to be offensive to such as you?
40348Is it possible, Mr. Haines, that the lady whom I knew as Louise O''Donnel was your child?
40348Is it sneering at Mrs. Carruth you are?
40348Is it? 40348 Is she dead?"
40348Is that a qualification which goes to the making of a good judge? 40348 Is that all you have to say?
40348Is that all? 40348 Is that meant as a reproach?"
40348Is that so? 40348 Is that so?
40348Is that so? 40348 Is that so?"
40348Is that the only reason why you know that she is dead-- because it was told you in a dream?
40348Is that why you gave him the hundred pounds? 40348 Is there any probability of their being able to connect the affair with you?"
40348Is this a dream of ecstasy from which there will soon be waking?
40348Is this his handiwork?
40348Is this room then not what it seems? 40348 Is this the poor girl who was murdered?"
40348It is in the paper, is it? 40348 Jesting?
40348Last night?
40348Louise O''Donnel?
40348Man, supposing they find it? 40348 Many years ago?
40348May I ask if there is anything in particular in which the likeness consists?
40348May I ask where this book is kept? 40348 May I ask why she left you?"
40348May I ask why you wish to marry me?
40348May I ask you for your name, sir?
40348May I ask you, in my turn, what you know about this mysterious Louise O''Donnel?
40348May I ask, Mr. Tennant, what you know about Louise O''Donnel?
40348May I ask, my dear Alexander, what means you are at present taking to increase your fortune?
40348May I ask, then, how you earn your living?
40348Mean? 40348 Mr. Haines, are you stark mad?"
40348Mr. Haines, if you are finished with this person might I ask you to relieve me of his society?
40348Mr. Pendarvon''s servant waits for an answer, sir?
40348Mr. Tennant, to whom are you alluding as''she''? 40348 Mr. Townsend, may I offer you a chair?"
40348Mr. Verulam, have you ever had your head punched?
40348Mrs. Carruth? 40348 Murder?
40348My brother?
40348My dear Alexander, is it possible that you can think me capable of insulting you? 40348 My dear, why do you speak to me like that?
40348My double?
40348My good man, do you think that you awe me by your persistence in calling me woman? 40348 My name, madam?
40348My office is in Austin Friars?
40348Name? 40348 No secrets from your wife?
40348No; what is there in the evening papers to interest me?
40348No? 40348 No?
40348Nose bleeding?
40348Not in prison then?
40348Nothing? 40348 Now, if I do something for you, will you do something for me?"
40348Now, what am I to say to Dora? 40348 Now, who''s that, I wonder?"
40348Odd? 40348 Of laying the ghosts-- for ever?"
40348Of warning? 40348 Oh, you went to the Climax, did you, after you left Jardine''s?
40348On what?
40348On which occasion you found him ill in bed?
40348Once more, and for the last time, which is it to be-- the gallows or the hundred pounds?
40348Or just going in?
40348Pals? 40348 Pendarvon?"
40348Pray, how is that?
40348Pray, in what does the difference consist? 40348 Public life?"
40348Pure? 40348 Really?"
40348Really?
40348Recently come out?
40348Reggie!--what devil''s game are you up to now?
40348Reggie, has your love for me all gone? 40348 Reggie?
40348Relation?
40348Send her away?
40348Shall I send for Dr. Ferguson? 40348 Shall I tell Jane to ask Mr. Keeley to excuse you?"
40348Shall I tell you what they are?
40348Shall we make it forty?
40348Should you know him again?
40348Show four whenever you like-- eh, Townsend?
40348Signed? 40348 Sir Haselton Jardine?
40348So Mr. Townsend is going to be a frequent visitor, is he? 40348 So recently?
40348So they''re going to hang him?
40348So you did know her? 40348 Still out?"
40348Suppose it was not yours to choose?
40348Suppose we say that it must be redeemed within a week?
40348Surely they''re not getting up a petition to let him off?
40348Teddy, have you signed?
40348Tell me one thing-- have you proposed to her?
40348Ten?
40348That is not all you are going to tell us? 40348 The Three Bridges Tragedy?
40348The Three Bridges tragedy; is n''t it a dreadful thing?
40348The cabman?
40348The complaint of loneliness?
40348The meaning of what?
40348The murder? 40348 The police?
40348The thing now is, what am I to do?
40348The trial? 40348 The victim?
40348Then did you communicate with the police?
40348Then do n''t you know what became of her?
40348Then what did you do?
40348Then what did you do?
40348Then what did you do?
40348Then what shall I get? 40348 Then why should you not marry me?
40348There may be? 40348 They sha n''t hang him?"
40348To quarrel?
40348To what are you referring?
40348To what securities do you allude?
40348To what sort of character, madam, do you refer?
40348To what?
40348To whom have you mentioned a word about the-- accident, until this moment I have charged you with your crime?
40348To whom?
40348To you? 40348 Townsend, what do you think of Dora?"
40348Townsend, why do n''t you drink? 40348 Townsend?
40348Unfortunately? 40348 Unless I do what?
40348Upon my word, you''re shivering, Jem; is it with joy?
40348Was he indeed? 40348 Was it near Three Bridges Station?"
40348Was that my fault?
40348Was the long arm of coincidence going to make things pleasant for me?
40348Was there any police supervision?
40348Was your name upon it?
40348Well, Archie, any news?
40348Well, Mr. Haines, any news?
40348Well, Tennant, what cock- and- bull story have you to tell us now?
40348Well, Tennant, what do you think about the murder?
40348Well, if I am your''s----"If? 40348 Well, my man, what do you want with me-- charity?"
40348Well?
40348Well?
40348Well?
40348Were they not purchased with his money?
40348Were you in earnest in what you said to me this morning?
40348Were you in want of courage?
40348What am I to understand you to mean?
40348What are you gentlemen doing here? 40348 What are you going to raise me?"
40348What are you laughing at, young man?
40348What creature?
40348What did I say?
40348What did you do when you knew she was killed?
40348What did you do?
40348What did you hear about Louise O''Donnel as you were coming up from Brighton?
40348What did you mean by asking me if I meant what I said? 40348 What do you know about Louise O''Donnel?"
40348What do you mean by being my wife in time?
40348What do you mean by half a sheet of notepaper? 40348 What do you mean by keeping the court waiting?"
40348What do you mean by that?
40348What do you mean by that?
40348What do you mean by you''re going to have your say?
40348What do you mean, sir, by addressing me like that? 40348 What do you mean, woman?"
40348What do you mean-- you knew him very well by sight?
40348What do you mean? 40348 What do you mean?
40348What do you mean? 40348 What do you mean?"
40348What do you propose to do?
40348What do you think he says?
40348What do you think of Dora?
40348What do you think of it?
40348What do you want with me?
40348What do you wish to say?
40348What does this witness mean by keeping the court waiting? 40348 What for?"
40348What governor?
40348What happened while you were at the station seeing him off?
40348What have you been doing since I saw you last-- killing time?
40348What is it that you say?
40348What is it then? 40348 What is it?"
40348What is it?
40348What is that?
40348What is the meaning of this?
40348What is your idea of sufficient money?
40348What man? 40348 What murder?"
40348What nonsense are you talking? 40348 What on earth have you fellows been doing?"
40348What return will you require?
40348What should I do?
40348What sort of man?
40348What sort of position do you imagine me to have?
40348What the devil''s this?
40348What the dickens do you mean, sir, by entering my bedroom?
40348What the doose do you mean?
40348What train?
40348What was all made plain?
40348What was it, Tom?
40348What was she like?
40348What was that?
40348What was the amount of this small loan?
40348What was there about her which you did notice?
40348What was there peculiar about the one you saw?
40348What will you do for me?
40348What would you say to ten thousand pounds a- year?
40348What!--Reggie Townsend?
40348What''s it to do with you what I am shivering at?
40348What''s that? 40348 What''s that?"
40348What''s that?
40348What''s the figure?
40348What''s the matter with the man?
40348What''s the matter with you? 40348 What''s the matter, my dear sir?"
40348What''s the matter?
40348What''s this you''ve been scribbling here; anything private?
40348What''s up now?
40348What?
40348When did this man come out of prison?
40348When will you know-- for sure?
40348Where did she live?
40348Where do they lead to?
40348Where is your straight flush? 40348 Where shall I tell the man to drive?"
40348Where were you?
40348Where were you?
40348Where?
40348Whereabouts in Liverpool? 40348 Which hand will you have?"
40348While the train was moving?
40348While the train was moving?
40348Who are you going to kill?
40348Who denies it? 40348 Who do you say it is?
40348Who is it?
40348Who is that man?
40348Who opened the door for her to fall?
40348Who says you are n''t?
40348Who was it?
40348Who was she? 40348 Who''ll have some?"
40348Who''s Loo?
40348Who''s there?
40348Who?
40348Whose portrait?
40348Why did you do it?
40348Why did you not interrupt the proceedings to say so?
40348Why did you think she was dead? 40348 Why do n''t you?"
40348Why do you lie to me? 40348 Why does n''t he come?"
40348Why have you been so silly?
40348Why not? 40348 Why should I sit down?"
40348Why should we waste time over these small quibbles? 40348 Why?
40348Will she die?
40348Will you be mine?
40348Will you forgive me, Miss Jardine?
40348Will you have your breakfast in bed?
40348Will you let me see her letters-- my girl''s, my Loo''s?
40348Will you promise?
40348Within four- and- twenty hours? 40348 Would he see it?
40348Would it? 40348 Would you like to have another try?"
40348Would you like to have something?
40348Would you recognise him if you saw him again?
40348Would you undertake to go abroad?
40348You are certain of that?
40348You are not? 40348 You call that a small loan?
40348You came up with him in the same train last night from Brighton? 40348 You could n''t oblige me with the loan of a shilling or two?"
40348You did not get it?
40348You do n''t mean that you have killed some one?
40348You do n''t mean to say that you''re awake? 40348 You have called for that handkerchief of yours?
40348You hear what he says?
40348You hear? 40348 You insist?"
40348You mean fear of appearing contemptible to me?
40348You prefer to hang?
40348You saw me do-- what?
40348You see this creature?
40348You swear it?
40348You tell me that, and expect me to believe it, when you have her portrait?
40348You thought it probable that she might annoy him?
40348You were shown to the door instead?
40348You will come again?
40348You wish to see me?
40348You wo n''t, wo n''t you? 40348 You wo n''t?
40348You''re fond of murders, are n''t you?
40348You''re sure that you''re not joking?
40348You''re what? 40348 Your address?"
40348Your girl?
40348Your husband''s clothes?
40348Your thoughts; are they worth a penny too?
40348Against what?"
40348Alexander, by the way, what was that you were saying about your having come up with Mr. Tennant on Sunday night from Brighton?"
40348All in an instant have you become so dull?
40348An excuse?--only that and nothing more?
40348And I said,''You are?''
40348And about Lily Langdale and others?"
40348And all the time you have had this story in your life; and how many more besides?"
40348And do n''t I say it plainly?
40348And do n''t let anything that was that young woman''s pass out of your hands to any one-- do you hear?"
40348And how about Daniel?--and about me?"
40348And if he was hung, and it came out afterwards that what he said was true, it would look like fiddlededee, would n''t it?
40348And then?"
40348And what do you think of the murder?"
40348And what sort of a man is he?--I suppose he''s a dreadful man?"
40348And why did they announce it, if they did not want to drive me into a rage?
40348And, if anything, how much?
40348Are n''t they going to hang him?"
40348Are we children, you and I?
40348Are you content?
40348Are you going to lie in bed all day?"
40348Are you mad?"
40348Are you sure that you are not proposing to play Judas merely because I have conquered where you have failed?"
40348Are you sure?"
40348Are you well enough to enter into a discussion?"
40348At this time of day?
40348Aunt, you''ve heard me talk of Milly Carroll?"
40348Because I am the thing I am?
40348Besides, what would be one cab among so many?
40348But how came he to have been writing that name?
40348But what was I to do?
40348By the by, how came this double of mine to mention the name?"
40348By what train did you travel?"
40348By what train?"
40348Ca n''t you read it?"
40348Can you suggest how you may be able to effect your escape?"
40348Can you tell us something else which you noticed about her?"
40348Carruth?"
40348Could this man ever be like that man?
40348Could you tell us where we are or which is the way to anywhere?"
40348Did I not tell you in my note that I have something which I particularly wished to say to you?
40348Did he ever do anything without a flourish-- even pick a pocket?
40348Did n''t you know?"
40348Did you ever know him when he had n''t come back in a bad temper?
40348Did you not demand a sum of money in exchange for your silence?"
40348Did you not extort blood- money, sir?
40348Did you not levy blackmail?
40348Do I understand you to say that you know the original of that photograph?"
40348Do n''t you know that I could go straight from this room and hang you?"
40348Do n''t you know?"
40348Do n''t you love me still?"
40348Do n''t you notice anything about them which is peculiar?"
40348Do n''t you think she''s lovely?"
40348Do n''t you think you''d better take a chair?"
40348Do n''t you understand Queen''s English?"
40348Do they know it?"
40348Do those sort of people ever go away?
40348Do you generally sleep to this time?"
40348Do you know that the hue and cry is out all over England for you?"
40348Do you love me?"
40348Do you mean for Tennant''s trial?"
40348Do you mean that his sentence is commuted?"
40348Do you mean that you fell out with Mr. Tennant''s help?"
40348Do you mean to steal it?
40348Do you suggest that my IOU is nothing but half a sheet of notepaper?"
40348Do you suppose that you can frighten him-- that you can take him in?
40348Do you think I am afraid?"
40348Do you think I''ve come all these thousands of miles to let them strangers pay the man that killed my girl?
40348Do you think he''s guilty?"
40348Do you wish to be overheard?
40348Does it mean that I''m at liberty to put half a sheet of notepaper on the table and say I raise a million?"
40348Does your own conscience not tell you, man?"
40348Feel seedy?
40348First, Do you love me?"
40348From whom?
40348Give me the rascal''s name?"
40348Got a bit fluffy on Monday, eh?"
40348Had he done nothing but twiddle his thumbs and stare?
40348Had he the slightest doubt that the woman he had seen in the mortuary dead was the same woman he had shown into the carriage?
40348Haines?
40348Haines?"
40348Haines?"
40348Haines?"
40348Has your own life been so pure that you should attempt to blacken another man''s character merely because he is my friend?"
40348Have a light?"
40348Have you any objection, Reggie?"
40348Have you any of this young woman''s writing?"
40348Have you forgotten?
40348Have you known me so short a time that you should need to ask?"
40348Have you not yet grasped the fact that you are in the presence of your wife?"
40348He turned to Shepherd--"I say, old chap, what was it you wanted?"
40348He went on--"By the way, how came you to be upon the bank?"
40348He''s a terror, is n''t he, Fred?"
40348How am I going to devote myself to you?
40348How came the two lives to be lived on such different roads?
40348How can you tell what grounds I may have for my belief?"
40348How could I have?
40348How could I tell her?
40348How did he know that?
40348How did she fall out?
40348How do you think you''re going to find''em if they do n''t mean to be found?
40348How is any one to tell?"
40348How many more times am I to tell you that?
40348How?"
40348I ask again-- what shall I get?"
40348I ask you again, Who is that man?"
40348I do n''t pretend, for a moment, to compare my shooting to yours, but would you like to have a sporting wager?"
40348I exclaimed;"where is he?
40348I presume you have not forgotten that at least a portion of your record is known to me?"
40348I suppose that you will be doing something else on Saturday; you are going to kill papa''s pheasants?"
40348I suppose you never happen to have heard the name?"
40348I went on,"Of course you are lying again?"
40348If I show mercy to you, what return will you make me for my kindness?"
40348If everything in life were certain, where would be the sport, and what would be the use of betting?
40348If he did think so?
40348If he is such a scoundrel as you say, why did you not show him the door, and defy him to do his worst?"
40348If it comes to killing, why kill units instead of tens?
40348If you have no objection, I will buy the handkerchief right out at a liberal price?"
40348In the one case I knew that she would denounce me at once to the police, and I should sleep that night in gaol-- and then, what could I say or do?
40348In what way?"
40348Indeed?
40348Is he doing well?"
40348Is it a deal?"
40348Is it money?"
40348Is it only if?"
40348Is it possible that they may have neglected to make a note of the occasion?"
40348Is it possible that you intend to be offensive?"
40348Is it your intention to add theft to the rest of the family crimes?"
40348Is that Judge Hunter?"
40348Is that sort of conduct in accordance with the Beauprà © code of honour?
40348Is that the lawyer?"
40348Is that the way in which you should speak to me?
40348Is there a hidden door?"
40348Is there any talk of a petition being got up in case he is convicted?"
40348Is there nothing human about you, Townsend?"
40348Is this Sir Haselton Jardine, with whom you have been staying, a married man?"
40348It seemed that when the 8.40 train from Brighton had arrived at Victoria-- the 8.40?
40348It was called"The Child: What shall become of Him?"
40348Just as he had crossed the road some one touched his arm from behind, and a voice said--"Excuse me-- might I speak to you for a moment?"
40348Mary Porteous called out as we came in--"So you''ve had a good day?"
40348May I ask how you propose to do it?"
40348May I ask if you quite realise the responsibilities of your position?
40348May I ask what is in the paper?"
40348May I ask what you mean by saying''Still out''?"
40348May I ask when your hour is likely to be?"
40348May I inquire what you mean?"
40348May I inquire, Mr. Haines, what I have done that you should say I am a thief?"
40348May I take it that you then communicated with the police?"
40348May we take it, Townsend, that you are not a millionaire?"
40348Might I ask if you''re interested in any of the parties?"
40348Might I ask you not eternally to play the fool?"
40348Might I ask you to be good enough to select your own chair?"
40348Might I ask you to oblige me with the loan of a sovereign to keep me going till I receive my remittances on Monday?"
40348Mr. Taunton, what is your profession?"
40348Mr. Taunton, when did you last come out of gaol?"
40348My second question, Are you married?"
40348Not Tommy?"
40348Now, what should you say he killed her for?"
40348Of course, then, you did communicate with the police?"
40348Of the roof?
40348Of whom are you speaking as your girl?"
40348Officer, will you allow me to use my handkerchief; my mouth is bleeding?"
40348Oh, will you?
40348Only, in this case, how are we to say what happened?
40348Or is it the people in it who are funny?
40348Or what the devil''s up?"
40348Really?"
40348Reggie, I wonder if you know how much the spoiling of your life will mean the spoiling of mine?"
40348Reggie?
40348Seeing that I was puzzled, she explained--"I mean, how do you think she''s looking?"
40348Shall I tell him that you send your love?"
40348Shall we speak of such a bagatelle as fifteen pounds?"
40348She added, in a lower tone of voice,"Is n''t it odd how some people have too much to do, and others have too little?"
40348She was wo nt to be so solicitous when I was ill."What''s the time?"
40348Short, and plump, and rosy?
40348Should I ring it and stop the train?
40348Should I speak to the guard, or should I not?
40348Should I tell him anything?
40348Should I walk out of the station as if nothing had happened?
40348Should he ring it and make a scene and in that way emphasise the expression of his desire?
40348Show it us?"
40348Sir Haselton Jardine?
40348Sir Haselton, did I not say you flattered me?"
40348So this is the man who holds you in the hollow of his hand?
40348So you were her friend-- my girl''s friend?"
40348Suppose that some one else is arrested for it, and-- we will go so far-- is hung, what shall you do?"
40348Suppose the governor would not come?
40348Taking it for granted that it was mine, he would not want to see it, and would they compel him to see it against his will?"
40348Teddy, would you mind signing again, this time a little clearer?
40348Tell me what you mean?"
40348Tennant?"
40348Tennant?"
40348That I was what kind of woman?"
40348The bearded man addressed himself to me--"Are you Thomas Tennant?"
40348The question now was-- all the world was asking it-- where was the gentleman?
40348The things want putting in order, Pendarvon-- eh?"
40348Then Pendarvon spoke--"Are we to take you literally?"
40348Then did you communicate with the police?"
40348Then he said, more in sorrow than in anger--"So your last thought is of him?
40348Then how came you to write the name upon that scrap of paper?"
40348Then to me,"How are you, Townsend?
40348Then why do you live in such a place as this?"
40348Then, I take it, you do not require a promise from me now?"
40348Those photographs were taken after death?"
40348Though, is it worth the trouble, if you are sure that I can guess?"
40348To what purpose?
40348To whom could it be?
40348To whom shall you go?"
40348Townsend, what have you done?"
40348Townsend, would you like to marry?"
40348Townsend?
40348Townsend?"
40348Unfortunately, what did you do?"
40348Was it a case of bigamous intermarriage?"
40348Was it?
40348Was she dropping a hint to me?
40348Was that footsteps ringing on the stone pavement along the vaulted corridor?
40348Was there a scuffle?"
40348Was there illness in the house?"
40348Well?"
40348Were you really coming to see me when we met?"
40348What a funny world it is?
40348What are we going to do?"
40348What are you going to do yourself?"
40348What brings you here-- starting in the early- calling line?"
40348What could I have done with it?
40348What could I say?
40348What could have made them think such a thing as that?
40348What could it be which, in the judgment of a man in his position, had compelled him to place himself within the shadow of the gallows?
40348What did I mean?
40348What did he kill her for?
40348What did he know about Lily, and the rest of them?
40348What did he mean by the inflection with which the words were uttered?
40348What did he mean?
40348What did it matter to you if she was dead or alive?
40348What did she mean?
40348What did the old beggar mean?
40348What did you do?"
40348What did you know of her?"
40348What did you mean by saying the grief''s half mine?"
40348What do you know of him?"
40348What do you make your total?"
40348What do you mean by saying I am jesting?"
40348What do you mean?"
40348What do you mean?"
40348What do you mean?"
40348What do you mean?"
40348What do you mean?"
40348What do you say, Townsend?"
40348What do you think of the programme which I have drawn up for Dora''s husband?"
40348What else could it have been?"
40348What else do you want?"
40348What else is it then?"
40348What else should I mean?
40348What for?
40348What had Tommy done when I had made my exit?
40348What had he been doing that for?"
40348What had?
40348What has happened?"
40348What has upset you?"
40348What have you to say why I should n''t have your life for hers?"
40348What is it that you desire to know, madam-- for your twenty guineas?"
40348What is it?"
40348What is the matter with you, Mr. Haines?
40348What is the matter?"
40348What is your address?"
40348What is your name?"
40348What kind of creature was he?
40348What makes you think that?"
40348What murder?
40348What name shall I give?"
40348What on earth do you mean?"
40348What part of Hackney do you want?"
40348What proof have you?"
40348What relation is he to you?"
40348What right have you to think?
40348What sort of party was this swell of hers to look at?"
40348What then?"
40348What thing is this which I have been consorting with all this time, and supposing it was love?
40348What universal provider have you been inspiring with confidence?"
40348What was I to do?
40348What was I to do?
40348What was he driving at?
40348What was he to do?
40348What was he to do?
40348What was her future husband''s name?"
40348What was her name?"
40348What was her name?"
40348What was it which had constrained him to choose between the devil and the deep sea-- and then to choose the devil?
40348What was it which had detained him?
40348What was she to you?"
40348What was that?
40348What was the amount of the deposit?"
40348What was the"small personal concern?"
40348What''s he come humbugging about?
40348What''s that?"
40348What''s the good of talking to him like that?
40348What_ might_ have brought them there?
40348Whatever could have made him do the thing which he had done?
40348When did you see him last?"
40348When was it?"
40348When?"
40348Where is he?"
40348Where is she?"
40348Where, quite recently, had I heard that name?
40348Where?"
40348Who knows?"
40348Who may he be?"
40348Who was it saw you off from Brighton?"
40348Who would have more cause than I?
40348Who would have thought that it ever would have come to that?
40348Who''s to tell him?
40348Whom do you think we''ve decided on?"
40348Why did she quarrel with you?"
40348Why did you quarrel with this woman?"
40348Why do n''t you return to Strikehigh City?"
40348Why do you ask?"
40348Why do you wish to marry me?"
40348Why does n''t he come?
40348Why had I been so blind?
40348Why had I not seen it coming?
40348Why had Sir Haselton not dropped a hint in time?
40348Why had he not told them at once that he had seen me, and put the police on my track?
40348Why not marry him?"
40348Why not?
40348Why should I be afraid of him?"
40348Why should I conceal it?"
40348Why should I object?
40348Why should I?
40348Why should n''t I?
40348Why should n''t I?
40348Why stand?"
40348Why were not our carriages all thrown open to the world?
40348Why will you perpetually harp upon a single string?
40348Will either of you see me for £500?"
40348Will you do it?"
40348Will you have a glass of wine?"
40348Will you have me, now, just as I am?"
40348Will you pay a thousand to see our hands?"
40348Win?"
40348With a background of intentions, as usual?
40348With whom?"
40348Wo n''t you have another game?"
40348Wo n''t you kiss me?"
40348Would I wire?
40348Would he listen if he came?
40348Would the governor come?
40348Would the governor not come?
40348Would the man tell him?
40348Would they believe him?
40348Would they pay the slightest attention to anything that he said?
40348Would they stir a finger?
40348Yes-- where was he?
40348You do n''t happen to have a card about you?"
40348You do n''t mean to say that you know the original?
40348You do sometimes, do n''t you?"
40348You hear?"
40348You knew her, then?"
40348You mark it?"
40348You''re not playing with me, as they say some husbands do play with their wives?
40348You''re quite sure you never heard it?"
40348You''re sure he was n''t short, and plump, and rosy?"
40348You''re sure he''s not your father?"
40348You''re sure you have n''t made a mistake about this swell of hers?
40348You-- you do n''t mean Miss Jardine?"
40348Young, pretty, simple, innocent, alone in a foreign land-- what more possible?
40348and offer me a loan?
40348he exclaimed,"what have you done?"
40348or all in?"
40348what was coming next?
7687Ah, William, how can you know her heart?
7687An experiment? 7687 And Lucretia is going?
7687And no news of the murderer?
7687And you have refused?
7687Are you satisfied with yourself, joli garcon?
7687Are you talking of Olivier Dalibard? 7687 But is this all true?"
7687But what does he conceal from me? 7687 But, happily, this fearful art exists no more to tempt and destroy?"
7687By betraying his brethren?
7687Do you think,said Lucretia, in a calm, cold voice,"that it is for jealousy, which is love, that I would murder all hope, all peace?
7687Has Susan then consented? 7687 He-- Dalibard?
7687How did you know,--did your father tell you?
7687How do you mean?
7687How, again, did you know this?
7687I will repeat what you say,answered Guillot, sullenly,"Is this all?"
7687No? 7687 Plait- il?
7687Rise, sir,she then added, with her most imperious tone;"do you not hear your Susan weep?
7687She had lovers, perhaps?
7687Uncle, what have you done with those seven shillings? 7687 Well?"
7687What does my father do,resumed Gabriel,"in that room at the top of the house?
7687What''s the matter?
7687What''s the matter?
7687Who bade you follow us?
7687Who says I''m fond of Madame Dalibard? 7687 You are disturbed, belle- mere,--has he been vexing you?"
7687You have got the paper you seek?
7687Your country,--to Paris?
7687But que voulez vous, mon cher?
7687But what availed rage against either?
7687But what, then, does he wish with you?"
7687Can the wand of the Herald''s Office have filled up the hollows of the cheek, and replaced by elastic vigour the listless languor of the tread?
7687Can you think that I will hazard these, with my head to boot, like a rash child?
7687Dark man, must I look for it in you,-- you?"
7687Did he feel glad that his cruel hand had been stayed?
7687Do you fear in my presence to console her?
7687Do you suppose that, in entering into this terrible contest, I would consent to treat only with subordinates?
7687Do you think I fear the guillotine?"
7687Do you think there is some mystery in that chamber?"
7687Does he tell you that secret?"
7687Fielden?"
7687Have you no proofs of what you imply?"
7687How can the Jacobin chiefs depend on your assurance, or my own, that the Bourbons will forget the old offences and reward the new service?
7687How do you suppose enterprises of this nature can be carried on?
7687I see now,"he said laughing,"why my father is always praising black hair; and-- nay, nay-- gentlemen may admire ladies in Paris, surely?"
7687If he is false, where find truth?
7687In a few months she should be of age; and in the meanwhile, who now living claimed authority over her?
7687Is he not pledged to me?
7687Is it not a clause in your settlement that the half of your fortune now invested goes to the survivor?"
7687Is it the change of name that has so changed the person?
7687Is this your promise?"
7687Mary, what do you say to thinning the grove yonder?
7687Or was it a snare to the grave?
7687The look was so expressive that Lucretia felt a chill at her heart, and could not, help exclaiming,"What has happened?
7687The police have not hunted him out: how can you?
7687This mission, was it exile only,--only a fall back to the old squalor of his uncle''s studio; only the laying aside of a useless tool?
7687To kill by a flower, a pair of gloves, a soap- ball,--kill by means which elude all possible suspicion,--is it credible?
7687Was it by honourable means that he had won the ear of the First Consul?
7687Was it, in truth, owing solely to his native talent, and his acquired experience, especially of England?
7687Was not Dalibard the nearest?
7687Was the deceased married?"
7687Was the rich man himself blind to the motives which budded forth into such attentive affection?
7687Well, what do you want with me, worthy godson of Honore Gabriel Mirabeau?"
7687What mattered all her vigilance and caution?
7687What matters?
7687What mistake is this?
7687What need of letters, when interviews were so facile?
7687What say you?
7687What then?
7687What then?
7687What was the secret of Dalibard''s power?
7687What was the secret which Dalibard had not communicated to her?
7687What''s the matter?"
7687What, you hesitate?
7687Who can tell that Death sits not side by side with the nurse at the cradle?
7687Why should not he, who can speak so well, be member for the town, instead of that stammering squire?
7687Why should that ring have been selected with such care from the dead man''s hoards?
7687Why so precious the dull opal in that cumbrous setting?
7687Why takes it not the accusing shape of thy mouldering kinsman?"
7687Will you be his avenger?"
7687Would Dalibard spare even his own son, if that son had the power to injure?
7687Yet who can predict that the infant shall become the heir?
7687You have seen my credentials; you know that I am a man to be trusted: what more do you need?"
7687if I were but his match,--and why not?
7687is that two o''clock?
7687said Gabriel, almost with pity;"can you live in this house and not watch all that passes,--every stranger, every message, every letter?
7687what are you about, nephew?
7687what noise is that?
4996A hostage for what?
4996A lady? 4996 Again then, may I ask, why wait?"
4996All a flam, is it?
4996And do you expect the police to leave the whole neighborhood severely alone for another hour?
4996And what then? 4996 And you can tell a Japanese from a Chinaman at sight?"
4996And you spoke to him?
4996And, pray, what can the Legation do?
4996And-- may I smoke? 4996 Any letters?"
4996Any luck?
4996Any news of the gray car?
4996Any noos?
4996Anything else?
4996Are n''t you pretty sure he was the man?
4996Are we justified in taking the law into our own hands?
4996Are you joking?
4996Are you quite safe here? 4996 Are you sure?"
4996Are you waiting here for some official of the Embassy?
4996As a gift or a loan?
4996As the weather was bad, you probably hurried in when your cab stopped?
4996Before I efface myself, may I be allowed to congratulate Mrs. Forbes on her escape?
4996Beg pardon, sir, but you are Mr. Theydon, are n''t you?
4996But do you know?
4996But how? 4996 But how?"
4996But is n''t that somewhat singular in itself? 4996 But what does it matter now?
4996But what has he done? 4996 But what''s this story of another shooting up in Fortescue Square?
4996But why adopt such a clandestine method?
4996But why?
4996But why?
4996But, dear, ca n''t you trust me? 4996 But, my dear Evelyn,"she said,"did n''t you yourself send for your mother?"
4996Ca n''t you speak plainly, Mr. Forbes? 4996 Can I do anything?
4996Can I drive you anywhere? 4996 Can that thing be operated only from the ground?"
4996Can you do it now?
4996Can you take a hand in the game? 4996 Can you tell me where I can find Mr. Forbes at once?"
4996Could n''t we contrive matters so that if the pistol were fired it need not necessarily inflict a fatal wound?
4996Dad, dear,she complained,"why did n''t you give me your confidence?
4996Dad,she said, with a charming smile in which there was just a hint of a pout,"are n''t you coming home with me?"
4996Did I give way like that?
4996Did Wong Li Fu recognize you?
4996Did n''t I drag the Chinese aspect of the crime out of him with pincers?
4996Did n''t you explain matters?
4996Did the police officers supply any theory of motive for the crime? 4996 Did you fly?"
4996Did you happen to see that car waiting near the house I came from?
4996Did you notice the number of the house?
4996Did you now?
4996Did you see or meet any one in particular while your car approached these mansions, or when you ascended the stairs?
4996Did you tell the police?
4996Do I look it?
4996Do I really resemble a Romney? 4996 Do n''t you smoke?"
4996Do n''t you think you ought to call in a doctor?
4996Do you expect him to arrive soon? 4996 Do you know where he is?"
4996Do you mean detectives from Scotland Yard?
4996Do you mean it is one of the cars which these men use?
4996Do you mean that I am to parley with these ruffians?
4996Do you mean that she is dead?
4996Do you-- know the lady? 4996 First, is Mrs. Forbes there, too?"
4996Had he a scar down the left side of his face?
4996Has Mr. Furneaux used the telephone, or did any one ring up?
4996Has Theydon gone to Fortescue Square?
4996Has everybody suddenly gone mad?
4996Has something unforeseen happened? 4996 Have the police yet obtained any real clew as to the whereabouts of the gang''s headquarters?
4996Have the-- er-- enemy made off in a car?
4996Have you had any news of Mr. Forbes, sir?
4996Have you informed Scotland Yard?
4996Have you invited Miss Beale to reside with you while she is in London, Sis?
4996Have you left the doors open?
4996Have you no friends in London?
4996Have you traveled from Oxford this morning?
4996He knew what hotel you were making for?
4996He knows that my visits to the Chinese Embassy are few and far between and generally have to do with-- but what is it now? 4996 He will turn up-- an American, is n''t he?
4996Heaven help me, why do you ask that?
4996How can I be sure? 4996 How can I?"
4996How did you know?
4996How do you know that?
4996How do you know,he gasped,"that I received an ivory skull this morning?
4996How long will it be before London wakes up to the knowledge of what is going on in its midst?
4996How on earth do you know I looked out?
4996How was I to deduce the true nature of these hell hounds''mission from a casual glance vouchsafed of one who may or may not be their leader?
4996I have not the excuse of the Canaletto,he said, compelling a pleasant smile,"but may I plead an even more distracting vision?
4996I regard you as a clever man, Mr. Furneaux, so may I remind you that this is neither the time nor the place for a display of gross humor?
4996I think we see now at least one method whereby the man who killed Mrs. Lester could have entered the flat without her knowledge?
4996I wonder whether Wong Li Fu is aware I have been liberated?
4996I?
4996If I agree, what time do you propose going there?
4996If the message has not come direct from Mrs. Forbes may it not be rather exaggerated in tone? 4996 If you did n''t send, who did?"
4996If you died, what would become of the two millions?
4996In Heaven''s name, how do you know anything of any letter?
4996In a side- car?
4996In a word,he said, at last,"you are Mrs. Lester''s next- of- kin and probably her heiress?"
4996Is George absent?
4996Is Miss Forbes a nice girl to talk to? 4996 Is Mr. Forbes in?"
4996Is any one justified in tryin''to get in here an''cut our throats while we''re asleep, sir?
4996Is it a personal matter?
4996Is it addressed to you personally?
4996Is n''t he at his office, sir?
4996Is n''t that in the far north of Scotland?
4996Is n''t that some sort of incense used by Chinese in their temples?
4996Is that all you know about it?
4996Is that the man who came with you from London?
4996Is that the meaning of the little ivory skull which my father received at breakfast this morning?
4996Is that why you covered up your tracks, even in this hotel, before you came to my room?
4996Is that you, Tomlinson?
4996Is that your telephone number?
4996Is there a detective or constable on duty there now?
4996Is there anything in the newspapers? 4996 Is there anything really impossible?
4996Is your name Wong Li Fu?
4996It''s rather odd, is it not, that nothing has been heard from him or his gang if I was to be held a prisoner in order to extort terms?
4996Japanese, you say? 4996 Japanese, you say?"
4996May I answer, Miss Forbes?
4996May I not make the acquaintance of these people? 4996 May I share the joke?"
4996May I take it that the car has not been dogging me by your instructions?
4996Meanwhile, are you and Miss Forbes going to the hotel?
4996Meanwhile, wo n''t you be seated? 4996 Mine?"
4996More bullets?
4996Mr. Forbes? 4996 Mrs. Forbes is quite well, I hope?"
4996Mrs. Lester had lived in China, then?
4996Need we remain here? 4996 No one hurt, and no one arrested?"
4996No one was injured, you say?
4996Now will you be good and tell me why Dad should receive a little ivory skull by this morning''s post?
4996Now, Theydon,he said, coming back to the sitting room,"what about that key?"
4996O, you''ve got one, then?
4996Oh, dash it all, what business is it of mine, anyhow?
4996Oh, mother,laughed Evelyn nervously,"you are not anticipating more horrors, are you?"
4996On suspicion of what crime?
4996Perhaps he has forgotten the name?
4996Please, may I look at the Canaletto which indirectly waylaid me?
4996Quite certain about that?
4996Say, can you boys eat a line? 4996 Seemed?"
4996Sensational?
4996Shall I wait up for you?
4996Singular thing, is n''t it?
4996Smell it?
4996So you''re still on the map?
4996So, while Mrs. Lester was being killed, the key of her flat was actually in your possession?
4996Surely not?
4996That you, Theydon?
4996That you, Tomlinson?
4996That''s hardly a fair question, is it?
4996The what?
4996Then it would seem that she resolved to come to me at Iffley as the result of something he told her?
4996Then you just invented the comparison as an excuse for colliding with the chair?
4996Then, if your surprise was so successful, what caused the fire?
4996There was only one man, then?
4996Was I not your guest? 4996 Was that all?"
4996Was the car empty? 4996 Was the detective a man named Furneaux?"
4996Well, a cup of tea, then? 4996 Well, what is it now?"
4996Well?
4996Well?
4996Were the ladies very much frightened?
4996Were there seventeen in the gang, all told?
4996Were you a sergeant at the time of the Surrey Bank robbery?
4996Were you at Daly''s Theater last night?
4996Were you delayed? 4996 What Chinese business, Bates?"
4996What can have become of that American?
4996What car? 4996 What did I tell you?"
4996What did the chief inspector mean when he said you refused to help him at first?
4996What do you mean?
4996What do you mean?
4996What do you mean?
4996What do you owe for?
4996What do you say?
4996What else can we do? 4996 What fiendish trick have you played on those wretches penned up inside there?
4996What have I to fear?
4996What in the world have the newspapers to say about me?
4996What in the world should each of us have thought if we had both been bound and gagged in that car?
4996What is it now?
4996What is it? 4996 What is the meaning of this?
4996What known facts?
4996What sort of accident?
4996What time does your train leave?
4996What time shall I call you, sir?
4996What was Mr. Lester''s business, or profession?
4996What will you do? 4996 What''s your name?"
4996What''s your telephone number?
4996What? 4996 Where are you staying?"
4996Where do you get your coffee?
4996Where is it? 4996 Where was the body found?"
4996Which place are you going?
4996Which way was he heading?
4996Who is it, please?
4996Who is it?
4996Who is speaking?
4996Who the devil are you, at any rate?
4996Who''s the toff who just left your lot?
4996Whose brainy idea was that-- yours or Bates''s?
4996Whose car is this?
4996Why a''gentleman''?
4996Why are we, your friends, to be arrested?
4996Why are you mixed up in this dreadful business? 4996 Why did n''t I jump in after Forbes?
4996Why did you hide your knowledge of Mrs. Lester''s visitor from your man Bates?
4996Why did you tell me that Mr. Theydon was a serious scientific person?
4996Why do you ask that?
4996Why do you say that?
4996Why do you think that?
4996Why have you visited these two houses, and not 412? 4996 Why not go to him?
4996Why not? 4996 Why on earth did n''t you mention such an important fact to the detectives?"
4996Why should any Chinaman single out poor Mrs. Lester as a victim? 4996 Why should this crime, in particular, have worried my father?
4996Why wo n''t you be candid? 4996 Why, what''s up?"
4996Why? 4996 Why?"
4996Why?
4996Why?
4996Why?
4996Why?
4996Why?
4996Why?
4996Why?
4996Will others go there-- friends of yours, I mean?
4996Will you ask Mr. Forbes if I am to turn up in time for afternoon tea? 4996 Will you be good enough, then, to set her to work?
4996Wo n''t you have a cigar?
4996Wo n''t you sit down?
4996Wo n''t you take us with you?
4996Would you care to have a word with Miss Evelyn, sir?
4996Would you mind if I just rang him up on the telephone? 4996 Would you recognize him if you saw him again?"
4996Yes, what of her?
4996Yet you treated your discovery as serious enough to warrant a prompt visit to the woman with whom association was dangerous?
4996You believe that the airship might develop along the unemotional lines of the parcel post?
4996You do n''t know, then, that a murder was committed in the Innesmore Mansions last night or early this morning?
4996You do not wish to fail, no? 4996 You had been to a theater?"
4996You have nothing more to tell us?
4996You have seen the-- the detectives in the meantime?
4996You just contrived to pick him up, and used him as an excuse for coming to Eastbourne? 4996 You mean they are anxious to find out what we are doing?"
4996You remember Dr. Johnson''s dictum:''Claret is the liquor for boys; port for men; but he who aspires to be a hero must drink brandy''? 4996 You see what I''m driving at, then?"
4996You soon got rid of your friend, then?
4996You think that some one had the impudence to follow us, watch us in Waterloo, and take up Theydon''s trail when we had revealed it?
4996You told him, I suppose, that Scotland Yard was worrying you, and he wants to know the result?
4996You''re ready to listen, eh? 4996 You''ve seen Wong Li Fu, and would know him again?"
4996You, Mollie?
4996You?
4996Your informant was not mistaken about the Chinese Embassy, I suppose?
499611 Fortescue Square, have thought of his master if told that Mrs. Lester''s last known visitor was James Creighton Forbes?
499617 Innesmore Mansions is dead-- has been murdered?"
499617 on the night of the murder?
499617?"
499617?"
4996412?"
4996After a slight pause, an agitated voice said:"Is that you, Evelyn?"
4996Ah, that touches you, does it?
4996And the railway tickets-- first- class, of course?"
4996And then his blood ran cold, because Forbes was saying:"Are you leaving us because of anything Evelyn has said or done?"
4996And what do we gain by waiting here any longer?
4996And what of the ivory skull?
4996And what would be the outcome?
4996And why did he try to force me into the car?"
4996And why should I strive to help it, anyhow?
4996And why should any car pursue you?
4996And why should he adopt the first of these alternatives?
4996And you wore an overcoat, which you removed on entering your hall?"
4996And, if you make an exception of Theydon, why are you doing it?"
4996And, wretched doubt, was she already the promised bride of another man?
4996Any orders for the morning?"
4996Anyhow, we held the thug dead easy, but did n''t press him any, as I had no call to butt in, had I?"
4996Anyhow, what was the man to do?
4996Anything fresh in that telephone talk?"
4996Anything new or interesting during my absence?"
4996Are these Chinamen likely to show fight?"
4996Are you a Frenchman, may I ask?"
4996Are you aware that the newspapers will get on our track now?
4996Are you worried about things?
4996Are your affairs in the hands of any firm of solicitors?"
4996Both?
4996But am I not right?"
4996But before you go wo n''t you enlighten me somewhat?
4996But do n''t you see the diabolical cleverness of the scheme?
4996But he schooled himself to say, with a semblance of calm interest:"What exactly do you mean, Miss Forbes?"
4996But what is it?"
4996But why this din of war, this smoke of arsenals, this marching and drilling of the world''s youth?
4996But why, in the name of humanity, should every such development of man''s almost immeasurable resources be dedicated to warlike purposes?
4996But will they own up if they do?
4996But, are you sure of what you are saying?
4996But, for Heaven''s sake, what is this you tell me about my wife?"
4996By the way, is that the latest thing in hats?
4996By the way, was any one looking after Mrs. Lester''s interests?
4996By the way, what is your name?"
4996By the way, where is the motor cyclist-- what is his name?"
4996Callous and calculating demon, is n''t he?"
4996Can I do anything?"
4996Can I give him a message?"
4996Can I give you a lift?"
4996Can you ascertain for certain?"
4996Can you be home by eleven?"
4996Can you give us the exact hour when you returned home?"
4996Can you?
4996Come now, Mr. Theydon, I think you''ve caught on to my scheme-- will you help?"
4996Could George assist if he were here?"
4996Could that pretty girl''s father, by any chance, be coming to visit him?
4996Croydon?"
4996Did Furneaux get hold of Forbes?"
4996Did it call for some one at the Embassy?"
4996Did my daughter tell you?"
4996Did n''t I make that clear?
4996Did n''t Mrs. Lester''s servant admit the visitor last night?"
4996Did n''t that horrid man knock you down?"
4996Did n''t the letter you received this morning tell you something of the sort?"
4996Did n''t you hear the hum of the engine as it went by?"
4996Did the crime possess a political significance?
4996Did you know who that man was?
4996Did you notice that?"
4996Did you see him?"
4996Did you see the driver and occupants?
4996Did you speak to Macdonald?"
4996Did you take a cab?"
4996Did you?
4996Do n''t you see the instant result of a war- limiting ordinance of the kind I advocate?
4996Do you believe they want China to wake up and organize before they''re ready to take hold?
4996Do you imagine that he killed Mrs. Lester?
4996Do you mean that they are stupefied?"
4996Do you mean that you were followed on leaving my house?"
4996Do you now vouch for it that the man was completely unknown to you?"
4996Do you recognize my voice?"
4996Do you regard him as the sort of man who would rush off in a panic to consult the Home Secretary without very grave and weighty reasons?"
4996Do you understand?"
4996Does n''t a pretty girl live there?"
4996Does n''t that opinion conflict with the known facts?"
4996Doris, is it, or Phyllis?
4996Eh, what''s that?
4996For whose benefit?
4996Forbes?"
4996Forbes?"
4996Good Lord, man, what do you mean?"
4996Got all that?"
4996Got that?"
4996Great heavens, are not these enough, without having our ears deafened by powder and drumming?
4996Had he, or had he not?
4996Handyside?"
4996Handyside?"
4996Have you been to my house?
4996Have you ever met her?"
4996Have you ever really seen Romney''s portrait of Lady Hamilton as Joan of Arc?"
4996Have you met Miss Beale?"
4996Have you seen his daughter?"
4996Have you seen the evening papers?
4996His tone seemed to annoy Furneaux, who broke in:"Do n''t you write novels?"
4996How about a square meal?
4996How about a wrap for you, Miss Forbes?
4996How can I have any guarantee that you and this other gentleman may not be his next victims?
4996How did such an extraordinary topic crop up?"
4996How did you come to know that my father was acquainted with Mrs. Lester?
4996How did you know it was a man?
4996How had they got there?
4996How many days''journey are you from the center of the city?"
4996How much did you promise the taxi- man?"
4996How much money did you provide for the revolutionaries?"
4996How much would you have paid, Jim?"
4996How often has impulse led me to the goal when by every known rule of evidence I was completely beaten?
4996How reconcile an immediate call on Scotland Yard with the guarantee of secrecy demanded by Forbes?
4996How was she killed?"
4996How would this be?
4996I have your positive assurance, too, that you are not exposing your own life in any way?"
4996I said half- a- crown, did n''t I?
4996I suppose I shall be wanted at the inquest?"
4996I suppose you know what that means?
4996I tried hard to baffle the detectives--""Again I ask''Why?''"
4996I wonder what the deuce Furneaux saw or heard?"
4996I would help you if I could--""Why?"
4996I''ll bet you sixpence nothing was said at the inquest concerning Chinamen?"
4996I''ll find the number in the directory, of course?...
4996I--""What do you imply by that remark?"
4996If Evelyn Forbes-- or, let me see, is it Phyllis or Doris?
4996If Furneaux had expressed himself differently-- if, for instance, he had said:"Had you ever before seen the man?"
4996If it held some member of the Embassy staff, why had no more been heard of it?
4996If not, why not now?
4996If some one said that of you to your husband, what would he do?"
4996If there were no Evelyn, or if Evelyn were harelipped and squinted, you would n''t hesitate a second-- now, would you?"
4996If you wish to examine Mrs. Lester''s flat why not seek the permission of Scotland Yard?"
4996In his distress he was prepared to hear Winter or that little satyr, Furneaux, say mockingly:"Why are you trying to screen James Creighton Forbes?
4996In the first place, is Mrs. Lester''s flat in charge of the police?"
4996Is it like that?
4996Is it likely that such an insignificant object as a chair, and a small one at that, would succeed in catching my eye?"
4996Is it true that my niece was absolutely alone in her flat on Monday night?"
4996Is it true?"
4996Is n''t it more than certain that he has plenty of determined helpers?
4996Is that all?"
4996Is that the lady''s name?
4996Is there any place in London where they know what a planked steak is?"
4996Is there room for two?"
4996It is quite agreed,"he went on, addressing the Chinaman again,"that I have full liberty of action in so far as preliminary arrangements are concerned?
4996It touched you, too, did it?"
4996Lester?"
4996Lester?"
4996Lester?"
4996May I ask your name?
4996May I come with you?"
4996May I see it?"
4996May we come in your carriage?
4996Miss Beale?"
4996Mrs. Forbes would have risen, but was restrained by the girl''s emphatic cry:"Mother, why wo n''t you behave like an obedient invalid?"
4996My sister?"
4996Now that we have reached more intimate terms, can you help by describing this stranger?"
4996Now, about last night?
4996Now, how in the name of goodness could I possibly entertain any notion of marrying the only daughter of a man in Forbes''s position?"
4996Now, how''s this for a proposition?
4996Now, what''s the next item on the program?"
4996Number Seventeen BY Louis Tracy 1915 CHAPTER I THE OUTCOME OF ARTISTIC CURIOSITY"Taxi, sir?
4996Of what avail will it be if this fellow, Wong Li Fu, is laid by the heels?
4996One more word-- have you heard anything of Furneaux?"
4996Or shall I try and reach him at Fortescue Square?"
4996Otherwise--"You wish you had the murderer here now?"
4996Paxton?"
4996Shall I get you something, sir?"
4996Shall I return, and strengthen your guard?"
4996Shall I wire an apology to the man I''m dining with?"
4996Shall we have some tea?
4996She kem here about an hour ago--""Who?
4996Should he, or should he not, tell the girl''s father of the rather indiscreet admissions she had made during their brief talk that morning?
4996Should one leave her alone or endeavor to soothe her?
4996Should she be given water or a stimulant?
4996Suppose we concoct an advertisement for the Times?"
4996Surely she had dealings with a bank or an agency?"
4996Surround the house with policemen, break in the doors, and fight?
4996That poor lady''s flat is next door to yours, is it not?"
4996That sort of behavior does n''t help at all-- does it?...
4996The gentleman you were dining with?"
4996The ways of the Oriental were not his ways, but a bargain was a bargain, so what more could be said?
4996There is n''t a Dr. Sinnett in Eastbourne at this date, but how was I to know that?
4996Theydon-- do you believe in that detective?
4996Theydon?"
4996Theydon?"
4996Theydon?"
4996Theydon?"
4996Theydon?"
4996Theydon?"
4996Theydon?"
4996This Miss Forbes-- by the way, what is her Christian name?"
4996Want a bet?"
4996Was he not bringing himself practically within the law?
4996Was he only assuming the fact, or have there been developments at Croydon?"
4996Was his hopeless admiration for Evelyn Forbes so patent that a sharp- eyed stranger could discern it after a brief hour in their company?
4996Was it placed over her heart?"
4996Was the Far East bound up in some mysterious way with Mrs. Lester''s death?
4996Was this poor woman killed for the sake of her few trinkets?"
4996Were they active allies of Scotland Yard or did they hold what is known in the law courts as a watching brief?
4996What can we do?
4996What did really happen?
4996What did you make of that?"
4996What do you say if we give a look along the front?
4996What else could I do?
4996What good purpose do you serve by holding forth these vague terrors?
4996What had become of him?
4996What is he to you?
4996What is of greater importance than the food we eat and the liquors we drink?
4996What is your favorite liqueur-- or shall we tell Tomlinson to send along that decanter of port?
4996What matter his fame or social rank?
4996What of her?"
4996What of the other fellow who was caught near Innesmore Mansions?"
4996What type of car was it?
4996What''s its number?"
4996When did you become acquainted with this Mr. Forbes?
4996When have you, ever before, admitted an outsider to your councils?
4996When?"
4996Where are you speaking from?
4996Where is it?
4996Where''s this place, Eastbourne?
4996Whether once or twice, why did you do it?"
4996Which one?"
4996Who more likely than he, I argued, to be a leading spirit among the Young Manchus?
4996Who was killed?"
4996Who would have expected this downpour after such a fine day?"
4996Who''s Handyside-- a mere acquaintance?"
4996Why are you constantly meeting detectives?
4996Why did you rush off to Eastbourne yesterday?
4996Why did you seem, at one time, to be taking sides with my father against a public inquiry by the police?"
4996Why do you mention Japanese?"
4996Why do you remain here, man?
4996Why not dine with us tonight?"
4996Why should Evelyn Forbes want speech with him at that early hour?
4996Why should he dream of fanning into a fiercer fury the flame of his love?
4996Why should you be so perturbed when I mention the Chinese Embassy?"
4996Why the deuce, then, ca n''t you mouth your incantations?
4996Why?
4996Why?"
4996Will you come, quick?"
4996Will you come?"
4996Will you go as quickly as possible to the chief police station at Croydon?
4996Will you hand in these three messages at the telegraph office?
4996Winter?"
4996Wo n''t you let me into the secret?
4996Wo n''t you let me order an egg?"
4996Would he have gagged me and taken me away to some lonely place, where I would be kept a prisoner, or even killed?"
4996Would n''t it be a reasonable thing if we drove a couple of screws into that door tonight?"
4996Would you mind telling me what happened at one o''clock, when my colleague, Mr. Furneaux, jumped on to your car and went in pursuit of some one?"
4996Yesterday it was an old woman, today a dictator, tomorrow the mob; who can foretell what shape the lava erupted from a volcano will take?
4996Yet why did he fail to turn up at the station?
4996Yet, what did it avail?
4996You all appreciate the fact, of course, that I knew nothing whatever of any quarrel between my husband and a faction in China?"
4996You follow me?"
4996You heard about those ivory skulls yesterday?"
4996You heard the conversation on the telephone?"
4996You remember that Ann Rogers, Mrs. Lester''s maid, was called away by a telegram saying that her father was ill?"
4996You see that, do n''t you?"
4996You think I am adopting some of the methods of the French_ juge d''instruction_, eh?"
4996You understand?
4996You vaunt the prowess of your department-- why are you not scouring every haunt of Chinamen in the East End?
4996You want to be sure that Wong Li Fu''s evil deeds shall be stopped?
4996You''re pleased, are n''t you?
4996You''ve seen no Chinamen, I supposed?"
4996he said;"that is, unless Miss Forbes has any objection?"
4996or"Have you now any reason for believing that you know his name?"
55606A mixture of the Far East and the Near West, is n''t it?
55606A stranger,cried Miss Pewsey tossing her head,"am I a stranger, indeed?
55606About that famous fan?
55606About the murder?
55606About what?
55606Am I proving anything? 55606 And I want to take my usual walk,"said Lady Jabe rising and settling her collar,"Chris?"
55606And Miss Pewsey''s mortgage?
55606And about the money, sir?
55606And has Miss Wharf got it now?
55606And has he consented?
55606And have you got it?
55606And how did he come to know Tung- yu?
55606And how do you size them up in this case?
55606And if you do?
55606And knows what about the fan?
55606And pray why is he?
55606And stole the packet then?
55606And then the arrangement was made?
55606And took it out again?
55606And what about her punishment, Rupert?
55606And what became of the cash?
55606And what did it explain?
55606And what has the fan to do with all this?
55606And what will you do, Rupert?
55606And where did you get it?
55606And where is that money?
55606And where is the Major?
55606And where was it?
55606And who is your master?
55606And whose day was it on the night of the crime?
55606And you Ainsleigh?
55606And you, Marquis?
55606Are there private as well as public gods in China?
55606Are you sure there are papers hidden?
55606Are you sure?
55606Before I wish you good- bye and all happiness,he said, holding out the famous fan,"will you take this?"
55606Burgh?
55606But I ca n''t very well see,said Rupert,"from which side do you count?"
55606But Tung- yu has the fan?
55606But about the fan?
55606But how do you know Tung- yu was on board?
55606But how-- how?
55606But if Tung- yu has the papers, why did he write to Tidman?
55606But in what way?
55606But it''s such a mad idea?
55606But she does n''t know about his wishing to buy it?
55606But that''s rubbish, why should he murder Miss Wharf?
55606But the fan, dearest Sophia?--Can''t I take charge of it?
55606But the fan?
55606But the packet?
55606But was that necessary when you knew the hiding- place?
55606But what do you think will come of all this?
55606But what would a Chinaman be doing in the cloisters?
55606But why did he do that?
55606But why did n''t you tell me she held this mortgage?
55606But why in the Abbey?
55606But why should Forge be an enemy of my father''s?
55606But you were in the room the rest of the evening?
55606By all means,said Tidman serenely,"you did n''t bring me here to talk of that did you?"
55606By murder?
55606Ca n''t you do something?
55606Can I see her?
55606Can I speak with you?
55606Can he shoot?
55606Clarence, have you seen her?
55606Clarence?
55606Connected with the fan?
55606Connected with this ubiquitous fan?
55606Did anyone else see the tie?
55606Did he leave any address?
55606Did he see any Chinaman on board?
55606Did n''t the attendant interfere?
55606Did n''t you know the secret, when you possessed the fan?
55606Did the person who said that Hwei would go as far as crime, tell you the Mandarin''s name?
55606Did you come here to insult me?
55606Did you tell him about the fan and your adventure?
55606Do n''t defend Tung- yu too much,said the detective dryly,"your position is not a pleasant one and--""Do you mean to arrest me?"
55606Do you expect Hwei to be there also?
55606Do you intend to murder us?
55606Do you know anything of Tung- yu?
55606Do you know how he died?
55606Do you know the secret?
55606Do you really love the girl, so?
55606Do you think I should write to Rodgers?
55606Do you think he was here?
55606Do you wish to ask young Mr. Walker more about Tung- yu?
55606Does Forge say he owned part of the mine?
55606Does my aunt want me?
55606Eh, how was that?
55606Even five thousand pounds?
55606For money?
55606Forge? 55606 Forgot what?"
55606From a pirate?
55606Got a flesh wound,said Rupert, winding his handkerchief round his left arm,"and you?"
55606Has anyone entered the gates to- night?
55606Has he dared to write?
55606Has she got any hold over him?
55606Have I been ill long?
55606How can I?
55606How did he get the tie?
55606How did you get the papers?
55606How do I need you?
55606How do you know Major Tidman has?
55606How do you know it is accursed?
55606How do you know it''s a tie?
55606How do you know my name?
55606How do you know that?
55606How do you know that?
55606How does he end the letter?
55606How so?
55606How were you misled by me?
55606Huh,said the Major with supreme contempt,"any chance of that?"
55606Huh,said the irreverent Clarence,"ai n''t you past hoppin''aunt?"
55606Humph,said Rodgers again,"and how does Major Tidman come to know about the fan?"
55606Humph,said the detective, noting the name of the yacht,"do you know anything of the silk tie?"
55606I believe he met him in Canton,replied Rupert restlessly,"he had some adventure there--?"
55606I cut that out of''The Daily Telegraph,''said he handing it to the Major,"what do you make of it?"
55606I do n''t think it matters a bit,said Rupert,"has n''t your aunt seen anyone lately?"
55606I do n''t understand dear?
55606I do not quite understand, Madam?
55606I guess I''ll make tracks also?
55606I hope you do n''t suspect me?
55606I know who possessed the tie, and I shall hand that man--"Who the dickens is he anyhow?
55606I may be able to make it out of the fan?
55606I should like to know if you are my friend?
55606I think it is,replied the girl with a weary smile,"but she seems to have a kind of hypnotic power over my aunt--""What do you mean?"
55606I was just coming up to see you,said the Major,"look here?"
55606I wonder why he marries her?
55606I wonder why they do?
55606If I do, will you let me go?
55606If Tung- yu did n''t murder Miss Wharf, who did? 55606 In search of the doctor?"
55606In what way?
55606In what way?
55606Is Tung- yu there?
55606Is it worth that?
55606Is this true?
55606It looks like it,said he,"what will you do?"
55606It seems to be much of a muchness,said Rupert,"and Burgh?"
55606Just as well for you,said the Major sharply,"how dare you threaten me, you-- you--""Now I ask you,"said Clarence,"if I have threatened you?
55606Leaving Mr. Burgh in the cloak- room?
55606Lo- Keong,said Tidman searching his memory,"was n''t that the man your father knew?"
55606Master Rupert,said the old butler,"do you think that gentleman is your friend?"
55606Mr. Orlando Rodgers, C.I.D.?
55606Near the place?
55606Not as a partner?
55606Not quite,said Tidman who was puzzled,"how did the fan come to England again?"
55606Now then Mr. Ainsleigh, tell me how you came to go up about the advertisement?
55606Of whom are you talking?
55606Oh Master Rupert what is it?
55606Oh Rupert, do you know me?
55606Oh, so the fan was the cause of the adventure?
55606Oh,said Rupert making a wry face,"not about your aunt?"
55606Oh,said Tidman, a light breaking on him,"you think Lo- Keong may have given the fan to your father?"
55606Probably,said the Mandarin indifferently,"and after all sir, why not?
55606Really and truly,said Miss Pewsey clutching her bag convulsively and with glittering eyes,"who says so-- who pays it-- who--?"
55606Really, Miss Pewsey----"You''d like to see me in the dock would you?
55606Rupert, are you mad? 55606 Rupert, do you think Lo- Keong killed your father?"
55606She knew about the god Kwang- ho, then?
55606She''s a detestable woman,said Rupert angrily,"why ca n''t she leave you alone?"
55606So you used the means of the fan to tell where they were hidden?
55606Sophia Wharf?
55606That will not take long,said the Chinaman cheerfully, yet with an unpleasant stare,"where is the fan of the Mandarin?"
55606The fan-- the fan--"What is it?
55606The packet?
55606The prophecy?
55606Then what motive do you think--?
55606Then who did kill her?
55606Then who do you think is guilty?
55606Then who has?
55606Then you are?
55606Then you know who did?
55606Then you were in Marport on that night?
55606To what am I indebted--?
55606To whom have I the honour of speaking?
55606True enough,admitted Ainsleigh impatiently,"but what has this to do with the death of my father?"
55606Tung- yu''s no slouch, you bet, and did n''t intend to lose his prize--"The fan?
55606Us?
55606Very good, the third line is fulfilled and the fourth--"Was gold brought forth from the holy ashes?
55606Was he murdered?
55606Was n''t the cabinet locked?
55606We sir?
55606Well then, why not marry Clarence?
55606Well, do n''t you think I should tell the whole story to my aunt?
55606Well, then,said Rupert,"when the picture is visible what happens?"
55606Well, what is worrying you?
55606Well,asked Rupert, drinking his tea,"what do you think?"
55606Well,said Ainsleigh shortly,"and what did you do?"
55606Well,said Forge deliberately and looking on the ground,"you know that your father and I invested in a gold mine on the Hwei River?
55606Well,said the young man meditatively,"either I must sell up, and clear out to seek my fortune, leaving Olivia to marry young Walker, or--""Or what?"
55606Well?
55606Were you not with my father when he died?
55606What about the fan?
55606What about? 55606 What about?"
55606What about?
55606What about?
55606What about?
55606What can happen to- night man alive?
55606What did he say?
55606What did he say?
55606What did she confess?
55606What do you know about Clarence Burgh?
55606What do you know of him aunt?
55606What do you mean by that?
55606What do you mean by that?
55606What do you mean by that?
55606What do you mean by this drivel?
55606What do you mean?
55606What do you think of it?
55606What do you want to do with it?
55606What do_ you_ know?
55606What does Mr. Walker say?
55606What fan?
55606What fan?
55606What had taken the deceased lady down the little- frequented steps?
55606What happened next?
55606What has he to do with it?
55606What if he does?
55606What is it?
55606What is this private god?
55606What kind of a secret?
55606What makes you think he is n''t, John?
55606What makes you think so?
55606What makes you think that?
55606What papers, sir?
55606What right''s that second hand joss to give orders in a free country, Hwei?
55606What sort of an adventure?
55606What was that?
55606What we want to know,said Ainsleigh, speaking for himself and Rogers,"is, how did the fan get back to you?"
55606What''s that about the fan?
55606What''s that got to do with me?
55606What''s that?
55606What''s that?
55606What''s that?
55606What''s that?
55606What''s the matter, Master Rupert?
55606What''s the matter?
55606What''s the matter?
55606What''s to be done?
55606What, in everyone?
55606What, on the eve of the wedding?
55606What,she said, much more her own evil self,"did Clarence accuse my Theophilus?
55606What?
55606What?
55606When can you foreclose?
55606When did you see Burgh last?
55606When was that?
55606Where are they-- what are they? 55606 Where is Hwei?"
55606Where is Miss Rayner?
55606Where is he now?
55606Where is my dear Sophia?
55606Who attacked you, sir?
55606Who is he anyhow?
55606Who is he?
55606Who is there, ma''am?
55606Who says so, John?
55606Who says so?
55606Who slew her?
55606Who told you I did?
55606Who told you I had been in China?
55606Who told you that?
55606Why did n''t you give up the fan then?
55606Why do n''t you ask her to dance?
55606Why do you want to talk of that?
55606Why in heaven''s name?
55606Why is it important?
55606Why not?
55606Why should I help you?
55606Why should n''t you go there?
55606Why should there be any difficulty with him?
55606Why should you think that?
55606Why, what do you know of the Chinese, Major?
55606Why? 55606 Why?"
55606Will he give it?
55606Will you never be friends with her?
55606Will you send him the ten thousand pounds, Rupert?
55606Wo n''t Mr. Ainsleigh escort us?
55606Wo n''t he?
55606Yes, Major Tidman?
55606Yes,said Rupert, quite amazed at this penetration,"but how do you know that?"
55606Yes-- yes-- but that is better now,said the Major hurriedly,"so Miss Wharf is here, and has the fan?"
55606You are quite sure you wo n''t have some refreshment?
55606You did n''t know it was there?
55606You did not leave the room again?
55606You do n''t know the kind of smoke?
55606You drank it in China did n''t you?
55606You kept that fan for a long time?
55606You knew my father well Tidman?
55606You mean that you will get the money to pay me and others?
55606Ai n''t you going to see him?"
55606Ainsleigh, is there another Chinaman here to- night?"
55606Ainsleigh?"
55606Ainsleigh?"
55606Ainsleigh?"
55606All the same Hwei was here, and perhaps he came up to the Abbey--""Why?"
55606Am I ever out of trouble?"
55606And where am I to get it?
55606Any more trouble?"
55606Are y''going to''round on him?"
55606Are you satisfied?"
55606As I have seen the Superintendent and can learn nothing likely to throw light on the subject, I have come to you-- a relative?"
55606Because I marry Miss Pewsey?"
55606Burgh?"
55606But Aunty''s going to hitch up long- side old Forge----""And he?"
55606But Marquis, why did you not send my father''s money to my mother?"
55606But am I?"
55606But are you of my opinion that Burgh is guilty?"
55606But do you see the blackened square?"
55606But have n''t the Ainsleighs always married poor girls?"
55606But have you really anything to do with this murder?"
55606But how did he lose the fan?"
55606But the fourth line?
55606But what right has she to order you about like this?
55606But why do you make that remark, Olivia?"
55606By the way did you see the advertisement?"
55606CHAPTER XIX A Visitor How came the fan there-- and on the accursed square of ground where no grass would grow?
55606CHAPTER XXI Who is Guilty?
55606Ca n''t we go a stretch along the lower part of the town?"
55606Ca n''t we sit down?"
55606Can you swear that he did?"
55606Can you wonder that I hate the son of the woman who stole my love away from me?"
55606Did he tell you Clarence?"
55606Did n''t he give it to Lo- Keong?"
55606Did n''t you advertise for the fan?"
55606Did you tell her of your adventure?"
55606Do n''t you remember a tree was drawn at the side of the picture with a white line down the trunk?"
55606Do you advise me to marry him?"
55606Do you believe he is guilty?"
55606Do you believe that Major Tidman has it?"
55606Do you expect Hwei?
55606Does Walker know of the fan?"
55606Eh?"
55606Forge has been here?"
55606Forge know the truth?"
55606Forge refused, as he said the fan has something to do with a secret--""Whose secret?"
55606Forge went with the master to China,"said the old man,"how did the master die?"
55606Forge''s hands into those of the pirate?"
55606Forge, But when you were my guardian, why did you not tell me that the property was so encumbered?"
55606Forge?"
55606Forge?"
55606Have you a copy of that advertisement?"
55606Have you heard what Mr. Burgh told the Major about that horrid fan?"
55606He asked me to let him have the tie--""What for?"
55606He brought the fan from that place?"
55606He came with a letter of introduction from a mandarin----""Lo- Keong?"
55606He gave it to me--""Why did you want it?"
55606He lives here?"
55606How came Miss Pewsey into this den?
55606How could he let these things depart from him, for ever?
55606How did you know that Forge had had the fan?"
55606How do you keep your youth so?
55606How do you make that out?"
55606How is that?"
55606Hurt Ainsleigh?"
55606Hwei told me that he came to the cloisters one night to see that all was well----""He knew of the hiding place then?"
55606I am glad to see you, sir,"he laid a finger on Tidman''s chest,"you have something to tell me no doubt?"
55606I can keep Mr. Burgh off--""Who is he?"
55606I do n''t intend to defend myself,"was the young man''s reply,"did you come to discuss this matter?"
55606I heard of your advertisement----""What advertisement?"
55606I refused it----""I should think so,"said Ainsleigh fuming,"well?"
55606I want to ask your advice?"
55606I wish you would let me conduct the business, and_ do_ let me take the fan?"
55606I wonder how Tung- yu''s escaped the police?"
55606If Aunt Sophia learned that we were married-- hark, what was that?"
55606Lavinia?"
55606Lying is a fine art in the Far East, and--""Yes-- Yes,"said Tidman impatiently,"but what has all this to do with the fan?"
55606Miss Rayner, or rather Mrs. Ainsleigh turned on the little woman,"I should like to know when I said that to you Miss Pewsey?"
55606My Sophia was murdered to obtain possession of a fan----""What fan?"
55606My Theophilus will we not go?"
55606Now I--""I must be going,"interrupted Ainsleigh annoyed by the man''s glib talk,"have you anything else to say?"
55606Now what do you say?"
55606Oh, Master Rupert dear, what did you see?"
55606Oh,"the young man started up and walked to and fro,"why did n''t I go into the law, or take to some profession where I might make money?
55606Olivia?"
55606Rodgers?"
55606Rupert turned round sharply,"what fan?"
55606See here,"Clarence leaned forward and looked agreeable, though his wicked black eyes snapped fire,"why should n''t you and I be friends?"
55606Tell me who is guilty?"
55606Tell me why you killed Miss Wharf?"
55606The man closed the door, and then drew a fan from his breast--""The fan in question?"
55606The mystery of the fan piqued him,"I wonder what he meant by that?"
55606The question is, which tree is it?"
55606Then he said if I made any fuss, he''d tell the police about--""About what?"
55606There a Chinaman examined me, and asked me what I had done with the fan--""What sort of a man was he?"
55606This Chinaman Tung- Yu--""Oh,"said the Major,"then you did n''t see Hwei or Kan- su?"
55606Those Chinamen?"
55606To bring out the picture, this fan has to be waved in certain smoke--""What sort of smoke?"
55606WHO IS GUILTY?
55606Was Burgh ever in China?"
55606Was he killed in the same way as Miss Wharf?"
55606Was he the one- eyed Chinaman?"
55606Was n''t his father murdered in China?"
55606Well we worked it for a long time until your father died of dysentery--""Are you sure he died of dysentery?"
55606Well, and what is to be done now?"
55606Well, now you both know where the packet is?"
55606Well,"she added sharply, as the detective rose,"what do you say?"
55606Well?"
55606Well?"
55606Well?"
55606Well?"
55606Well?"
55606Well?"
55606What about him?"
55606What do you mean?
55606What is her name?"
55606What is it?"
55606What is the time, Olivia?"
55606What is to be done now, gentlemen?
55606What love have you ever shown me?"
55606What makes Tung- yu accuse you, and why do you get a letter from China?"
55606What will you do?"
55606What''s the matter with you?"
55606What''s to be done?"
55606What''s to be done?"
55606When I was at Pekin, your father, who did not understand the Chinese so well as I did, managed to make trouble--""In what way?"
55606Where am I-- what are you doing here?"
55606Where did Burgh get it?"
55606Who has the papers?"
55606Who is the Mandarin?"
55606Who would give a large sum for that fan?"
55606Why should she do that?"
55606Why should she want him to marry Olivia?"
55606Why should the ghost of an old monk use a joss- stick, like the Chinese?"
55606Why that is the man who owns the fan?"
55606Why?"
55606Will you go?"
55606Yes it is about young Ainsleigh, and how dare you call him Rupert?"
55606You remember my father''s expedition to China?"
55606You understand?"
55606asked Rupert,"would you know him again?"
55606asked Tidman, craning over Forge''s shoulder at an empty drawer,"where is the fan?"
55606asked the detective taking out his note- book,"and who is Rupert Ainsleigh?"
55606how can you get gold from ashes?"
55606said Rupert, throwing his cap down and sinking wearily into a near chair,"anything wrong?"
7686Ah, he''d make a lawyer, I suppose,--glib tongue enough, and can talk well; and lie, if he''s paid for it?
7686Ah, you know that he has had the presumption to love you,--the puppy!-- and you feel the compassion you women always feel for such offenders? 7686 And Mr. Mainwaring?
7686Bless my heart, Mr. Fielden, what is it you mean?
7686But human nature is weak, my child; if my heart be so now, what will be yours?
7686But what are we to do?
7686But who wants me, cousin?
7686Can you suppose that I shall encourage my own misery by the guilty pleadings of unavailing love? 7686 Dear me, what of that?"
7686Did I? 7686 Do you learn that accomplishment also, by way of steadying your hand for the easel?"
7686Do you? 7686 Gabriel,"whispered the father,"you had better follow me, had you not?
7686How can I convince thee of my sincerity, unless thou takest my life as its pledge, maid of Laughton?
7686Is it possible that you are ignorant? 7686 Or we can go into Susan''s?"
7686Stay a moment: you are intimate, I find, with young Mainwaring?
7686The army will not do for him, eh?
7686What can make your letters to Mr. Mainwaring such a secret?
7686What can you apprehend?
7686What claim have I, Sir Miles, to such generosity? 7686 What would you do, then?"
7686What, Miss Clavering? 7686 What, boy?
7686When I am dead,ran that thought,"is there one human being whom I can trust to take charge of the old man''s dogs?"
7686Where have you been hiding? 7686 Why, do you think, then, he told her at Laughton of this acquaintance,-- that he spoke of Susan?
7686Will you suffer me to dictate?
7686Ah, how-- how should you know it?"
7686Ah, when she changed flowers with you, you did not think I saw you,--sly, was not I?
7686And to whom can you trust your own letters?"
7686Are not your fears for her very life-- O Heaven?
7686Are you at length convinced that I have conquered my folly; that I was disinterested when I incurred your displeasure?
7686But how was it?
7686But one ought to be very good to preach to others,--better than you and I are, eh?
7686But-- and she hesitated with becoming and natural diffidence-- were not his habits unfixed and roving?
7686Can I grieve when I think it,--grieve when life with you spreads smiling beyond the old man''s grave?
7686Can speech be more fatal in its results than silence?
7686Can you imagine that I will permit you any longer to remain with that vagabond Varney and yon crew of vauriens?
7686Can you suppose that we shall not both take comfort and strength from each other?
7686Catching bloom from the roses?
7686Could Lucretia ever forgive the injury, and could she fail to detect the hand that inflicted it?
7686Dare you defy?"
7686Dare you disobey me?
7686Dares he think to win an influence, to turn against me,--against us?
7686Do I hear right?
7686Do you feel the kiss that I leave there?
7686Do you still adhere to one who has cost you so much, poor child?"
7686Hast thou, O Reader, tasted the luxury of escape from a home where the charm is broken,--where Distrust looks askant from the Lares?
7686Have I said it?"
7686Have you been in the secret of the correspondence?
7686He rubbed them: could he see right?
7686He would return again to Guy''s Oak and search more narrowly: had she changed the spot where the former letters were placed?
7686How did you get at her thoughts?"
7686How give, if you are in debt?
7686I never betrayed a trust,--can you trust me with yourself?"
7686I wonder what''s come to her?"
7686I would not have you born great and noble, for what then could we look to,--what use all my schemes, and my plans, and aspirings?
7686If so, can you restore to me your friendship?
7686If they fail--""Ay, then?"
7686Is it not better that the interview should be under your roof, within the same walls which shelter her sister?
7686Is it not odd, I, who am a republican by theory, taking King George''s pay to fight against the French?
7686Is that it?"
7686Just throw me that coat, will you?"
7686M. Dalibard has instilled this strange fancy into your head?"
7686Mainwaring?"
7686Might not this be the cause that had made Mainwaring so reserved?
7686Now, do you know that I feel enraged with you for abetting that girl to deceive him?"
7686On what footing shall I remain here?"
7686Perhaps I injured your uncle,--who knows but, if so, he hears and pardons me now?"
7686Sir Miles put this letter in his niece''s hand, and said kindly,"Why not have gone to see your sister before?
7686Susan loved,-- loved William Mainwaring; but was it not a love hopeless and unreturned?
7686The knight of the Bleeding Heart may want thee more,--dare he own it?"
7686Then Vernon said,--"But what is your wish, Miss Clavering?
7686Then, turning her eyes to her guardian somewhat wildly, she cried:"But to what end, what object?
7686To leave Dalibard in sole possession of the field, even for a few days, was a thought of alarm; but what evil could he do in that time?
7686Two days more, at most three, and we shall meet, shall we not?
7686Vernon?"
7686Well, then,--what then?
7686Well, what do you advise, Mary?
7686What are thy thoughts,--are they upon me?
7686What can we do?
7686What has brought you to town?"
7686What is to be done?
7686What matters?"
7686What of that?"
7686What shall I answer?"
7686What son ever revolted even from the worst father, and throve in life?
7686What was left to life so peculiarly attractive?
7686What''s my advice?
7686When shall we meet again?
7686Why should he wish to see me?"
7686Why take such care of the worn- out carcass?
7686Will you guarantee the success of your plan?"
7686Will you, my fair cousin?
7686Worse than a cipher, did he then but cumber the earth?
7686You remember that hollow oak at the bottom of the dell, in which Guy St. John, the Cavalier, is said to have hid himself from Fairfax''s soldiers?
7686Your father is in the army: what say you to a pair of colours?"
7686do you know him so little,--his delicacy, his pride?"
7686for her very life-- gravely awakened?
7686have I touched on the truth?
7686said he, patting the boy''s head gently,"why should we not be friends?
5261A consultation?
5261A dollar limit?
5261A microphone?
5261A telegraphone? 5261 Adele-- do you know me?"
5261Afraid?
5261Am I my brother''s keeper?
5261And am I a-- a devil?
5261And his motive?
5261And that woman in there?
5261And that?
5261And the letters?
5261And then what?
5261And what?
5261And when they discover it?
5261And why again?
5261And you let him up?
5261And your client will make good?
5261And?
5261Another one?
5261Are n''t you afraid?
5261Are n''t you going to join us?
5261Are n''t you just a little bit afraid of-- er-- friends that you may chance to make in the city?
5261Are you game?
5261Are you going to Brooklyn?
5261Are you in business?
5261Aren''t-- you-- afraid?
5261But that is what detectives use--"Well?
5261But what of it?
5261But, do n''t you dream?
5261Ca n''t I?
5261Ca n''t we drive around a bit to throw him off if he should get into a cab?
5261Ca n''t you make it-- less?
5261Can you do it?
5261Can you see that from the floor?
5261Cost something?
5261Could n''t we use her?
5261Coward?
5261Detectives employed by whom?
5261Did she ever do anything like that before?
5261Did you get a check?
5261Did you have a waitress here named Viola Cole?
5261Did you have much invested with him already?
5261Did you?
5261Do n''t you ever dream?
5261Do n''t you think I ought to write a note, something that will be sure to get him up here?
5261Do n''t you want to?
5261Do they suspect anything?
5261Do you ever dream of Mildred?
5261Do you get this?
5261Do you really want to know the truth about your dreams?
5261Do you really, really want to know what I think?
5261Do you remember anything else that happened?
5261Do you want to know what I think?
5261Do you want to know what room she''s in?
5261Do?
5261Does that satisfy you, Graeme?
5261Ever of other-- er-- people?
5261Flora?
5261Florence-- Florence what?
5261Florence?
5261For whom would you do anything?
5261Found out what?
5261Get it?
5261Go back to whom?
5261Graeme Mackenzie,she said, slowly,"what''s the use of all this beating about?
5261Has Miss Larue gone?
5261Has anybody called at my apartment while I was out?
5261Have you ever been paid a little bill of twenty- five dollars by our company?
5261Have you had any other dreams?
5261Have you seen it?
5261He is?
5261Her clothes, you mean, Ma''am?
5261Home? 5261 Home?"
5261How are you, Kitty?
5261How could she get a replica of it?
5261How did HE come here?
5261How did you begin?
5261How did you do it?
5261How did you-- catch her?
5261How do I know what they will do, the moment they get me in their power? 5261 How do I know?"
5261How do you feel?
5261How does Blanche Leblanc figure in the Motor Trust trouble?
5261How much is he in for now?
5261How much?
5261How will you have it-- with Scotch or rye?
5261How, then?
5261How?
5261How?
5261I hope you''re not putting money in Rubber?
5261I may see you, though?
5261I wonder if they suspect me?
5261I-- forgive? 5261 I-- we-- are entirely free from prosecution of any kind?"
5261I?
5261If you were to be discovered-- what then?
5261Indeed?
5261Is that all right?
5261Is that so?
5261Is that so?
5261Is that yours?
5261Is the manager in?
5261Is there no other way?
5261Is your name Abigail?
5261Is-- is there a-- detective?
5261Is-- is there any change?
5261Just how much do they-- know?
5261Just what seems to be the difficulty?
5261Lee, how can I ever thank you?
5261Lord,he exclaimed in disgust,"you, too, defend it?"
5261May I join the conspiracy?
5261Might I not hand you over to the detectives who, you say, will soon be looking for you?
5261Miss Dunlap-- have you that notebook?
5261Mr. Gibbons? 5261 Mrs. Dunlap,"he burst forth, exasperated,"what is the use of beating about?
5261Mrs. Dunlap,she said,"how can I ever thank you for what you have done for Kitty?
5261Mrs. Noble,said Constance calmly,"can you trust me?"
5261Mrs. Palmer? 5261 My God, Sheppard, what do you think?
5261No doubt you have read in the papers of this clever realty company swindle? 5261 No?
5261No?
5261Not another?
5261Not dead?
5261Not my real name?
5261Of detectives?
5261Oh, have you? 5261 Oh, yes,"remarked Drummond;"but why are they all so careful not to get caught?
5261On the contrary,rippled Stella, then added,"You''re going to stay?
5261Or your address?
5261Perhaps we may hope to be reinstated after a little-- er-- tea-- and a dance?
5261Pretty soft-- eh, Bella?
5261Replica?
5261Rum?
5261Russian tea?
5261Say, that''s about your style, is n''t it? 5261 See how it works?"
5261Shall we go in? 5261 Shall we go over to Jack''s for a bite to eat?"
5261So have I,she admitted, facing him;"but, do you know, sometimes I have thought that Malcolm Dodd is not your real name?"
5261Stay and face it?
5261Swindling?
5261Tampering with OUR mail?
5261Tanguez- vous?
5261That?
5261The letters are all right, are they? 5261 The letters do n''t speak for themselves, do they?
5261The next question,she reasoned, considering aloud,"is, of course, what to do?
5261The reward?
5261The stock?
5261Then there is doubt in your mind what you would do?
5261Then why do n''t you?
5261Then you did not MEAN to hint it?
5261Then you do not think a warning from me worth troubling about?
5261There is something I''d like to say to you besides thanking you most kindly for the good time last--"Is there anything I can do for you?
5261There-- there''s something-- wrong with it-- They-- they--"How? 5261 To what am I indebted for the pleasure of this unexpected visit, Sybil?"
5261Vespuccia-- Santos-- Gordon?
5261Was Drummond always to cross her trail? 5261 Was it necessary that Mr. Brainard should put his arm around you for that?"
5261Was it wholly over your money?
5261Was that the man who was following you?
5261Was there nothing else?
5261We are ready for them?
5261We promise,it wrote,"that in consideration of the return...""What is it?"
5261We?
5261Well, can you wait there just a few minutes? 5261 Well, what do I really know about that?"
5261Well, what of that?
5261Well, young lady,she said haughtily,"do you realize what you are doing and with whom you are?"
5261Well,shouted the other voice menacingly,"do you want to know the truth?
5261Well-- what''s all this?
5261Well?
5261Well?
5261Wh- what is it?
5261Wh-- what? 5261 What IS the game?"
5261What about Annie Grayson?
5261What are you,she hissed,"one of these department store Moll Dicks, too?"
5261What did you say you called this thing?
5261What do you care, Anita? 5261 What do you mean?"
5261What do you mean?
5261What do you suppose he will do with them?
5261What do you think of her?
5261What have I done?
5261What have you done?
5261What is it that you want to say? 5261 What is it?"
5261What is it?
5261What is that?
5261What is the matter?
5261What is the use of tempting fortune?
5261What is the whole of Central America to me compared to you?
5261What luck to- day? 5261 What name did you give at the tea room?"
5261What of it? 5261 What of it?
5261What rot is this? 5261 What shall I do?
5261What shall it be to- night-- bridge?
5261What should I do? 5261 What would you do?"
5261What would you have me do-- take you with me?
5261What''s all this about the panic in Motors, Lee?
5261What''s all this?
5261What''s that?
5261What''s the matter, Chloe?
5261What''s the matter?
5261What''s the matter?
5261What-- Constance?
5261What-- is Kitty ill?
5261What?
5261When did you see him before?
5261When?
5261Where do they get it?
5261Where is he? 5261 Where is that stock I heard them talking about?"
5261Where will he keep them?
5261Where''s Santos?
5261Where''s your husband?
5261Where? 5261 Where?"
5261Which one?
5261Who forged those Carlton Realty checks?
5261Who has been doing the shadowing?
5261Who is Madame Cassandra?
5261Who is it? 5261 Who is that?"
5261Who made you do it? 5261 Who says I am swindling?"
5261Who was he, then?
5261Who was he?
5261Who was it?
5261Who was your friend?
5261Who would have thought it as late as that? 5261 Who-- who the devil are you?"
5261Why ca n''t you tell them,she suggested,"that you wanted to be independent, that you went away to make your own living?"
5261Why did she tell me that?
5261Why do n''t you give up the stuff?
5261Why do n''t you go to see Dr. Price? 5261 Why do you ask?"
5261Why quit yet? 5261 Why talk of suicide?"
5261Why this-- this burglary?
5261Why wo n''t you go home?
5261Why, my dear, what''s the matter?
5261Why-- why have you told so much to me, an absolute stranger?
5261Why?
5261Will luck never turn?
5261Will you forgive me?
5261Will you help us raise the money?
5261Will you help us?
5261Will you send the bell- boy up?
5261Will you tell the lady who was so kind to me that while she was out seeing you at the tea room, there was a call at her door? 5261 Will you?"
5261Wo n''t you come with me to Madame Cassandra?
5261Wo n''t you take off your things?
5261Yes? 5261 Yes?"
5261Yes?
5261Yes?
5261You are at Trimble''s?
5261You are going to go there?
5261You are not frightened?
5261You are, are you?
5261You can say that, Carlton, when it has been every night the same old threadbare excuse of working at the office until midnight?
5261You do n''t like her?
5261You do n''t, hey? 5261 You do?"
5261You have seen Mr. Davies to- day?
5261You here?
5261You know her?
5261You mean the young fellow who was selling something?
5261You remember seeing this lady at the counter?
5261You remember that man the girls spoke of?
5261You see how he is? 5261 You were-- both of you-- at Woodlake not long ago, were you not?"
5261You will have her shadowed?
5261You will let me know if you get any word?
5261You would at least recall the old adage,''Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you''?
5261You would consider it?
5261You-- have one-- there?
5261You-- you do n''t think there is anything like that, do you?
5261You-- you found them?
5261You-- you shot him?
5261Your husband was Carlton Dunlap, cashier of Green& Company, was he not?
5261After the revolution-- perhaps-- who shall say?
5261And the rest of these people?
5261Are you game?"
5261Are you game?"
5261Are you going now, Mrs. Dunlap?
5261Are you willing to be mixed up in such a scandal?"
5261At Vera''s?"
5261At last he added,"What shall I do next?"
5261Borrow?
5261But did you wiseacres of crime ever stop to think that perhaps they do actually exist?
5261But how did they get them in a case like this?
5261But if Drummond''s man had seen her enter, might she not have been there all the time, be there still, in a stupor?
5261But what has that to do with it?
5261But what tale did they tell?
5261But where?"
5261But, what is success-- alone?"
5261By the way, would n''t you like to join us to- night?
5261CHAPTER IV THE GAMBLERS"Wo n''t you come over to see me to- night?
5261CHAPTER IX THE SHOPLIFTERS"Madam, would you mind going with me for a few moments to the office on the third floor?"
5261CHAPTER V THE EAVESDROPPERS"I suppose you have heard something about the troubles of the Motor Trust?
5261CHAPTER VI THE CLAIRVOYANTS"Do you believe in dreams?"
5261Ca n''t I be your private secretary?"
5261Ca n''t you see the lady has dropped her purse?"
5261Can I lunch with you downtown?
5261Constance was distracted, what if Santos with his fiery nature should find Gordon talking to her alone?
5261Could anything be fairer?
5261Could he be trusted alone not to betray himself when the first hint of discovery of something wrong came?
5261Could it be a case of drugs?
5261Could this be the detective Florence Gibbons had mentioned?
5261Davies?"
5261Did he also know that Constance was shielding her?
5261Did he work all night and sleep all day?
5261Did she realize the perilous position this all was placing her in?
5261Did you find anything under that name?"
5261Dissolve their partnership in crime?
5261Do you know him?"
5261Do you recall it?"
5261Do you see that machine?"
5261Do?
5261Drummond, what do people say?"
5261Dunlap?"
5261Dunlap?"
5261Everything is going-- fortune, reputation-- even your friendship, now, Constance--""Going?
5261For example, she asked herself, why had he been so ready, apparently, to transfer his interest from Stella?
5261Got any money, May?"
5261Had Bella LeMar hoped that she, too, would play will- o''-the- wisp in leading him on?
5261Had Muller tried to palm off something on her?
5261Had he found out the truth in some uncanny way?
5261Had he, after all, been concealing something else from her?
5261Had it been heard?
5261Had there really been another woman?
5261Had they captured him?
5261Has the plan been changed?"
5261Have I no means of my own?"
5261Have n''t you read it often enough?
5261Have you at last thought up an excuse?
5261Hello-- yes-- what?
5261How about it?"
5261How about that?"
5261How can I?
5261How did she look?"
5261How did you know I had seen him before?"
5261How did you meet her?"
5261How much did you have to pay the Leblanc girl?"
5261How was she to get at the inside truth of what was going on across the hall?
5261How was she to meet it?
5261I hurry home-- and I-- oh, what shall I do-- what shall I do?"
5261I must get at least a day or two start before they--""Carlton,"she interrupted,"what is the matter?
5261I-- I think I may talk plainly?
5261If it is good for them, is it not just as good for us?"
5261Instead of tears and recriminations, instead of the conventional"How could you do it?"
5261Is there no desperate chance?"
5261Is there no way that we-- that I could forge a check that would give us breathing space, perhaps rescue us?"
5261Is there no way that you could avoid discovery just for a time?
5261It is only half the truth-- is it not?"
5261It read: MY DEAREST A----: Can you meet us in the Vanderveer to- morrow afternoon at four?
5261LeMar?"
5261May I be frank with you?"
5261Might Florence be held somewhere as a"white slave"--not by physical force but by circumstances, ignorant of her rights, afraid to break away again?
5261Might she not have been spirited off in that way?
5261Mrs. Caswell looked at her almost alarmed, then attempted to turn it off with a laugh,"And perhaps breakfast with him?"
5261Now be sure to come, wo n''t you?"
5261Now what would you do?"
5261Now, what have you to report?
5261Oh well-- what''s the use?
5261Or was he leading her on in this way to a confession of her own part, which she had covered so well, in the forgeries of her dead husband?
5261Or was his attention to her causing him to neglect his own game and play it poorly?
5261Or was it suicide, as she had threatened?
5261Or was she merely a beautiful, delicate creature caught in the merciless maelstrom of the life into which she had been thrown?
5261Shall I run or shall I fight?"
5261She did just what I wanted-- came up here-- and, say Sheppard-- what do you think?
5261Should she be perfectly frank?
5261Should she call up Warrington?
5261Should she desert Santos and save herself?
5261Should she tell them now about him?
5261Then by whom?
5261Then come around to see me in the dormitory if I''m here when you are through, wo n''t you?"
5261There ai n''t no--""Could you deliver a note for me at a tea room in New York to- morrow?"
5261Understand?"
5261Vera will be along and Mr. Warrington and perhaps''Diamond Jack''Braden-- you know him?"
5261Vera?
5261Was Adele shielding some one?
5261Was Drummond''s heroic effort to entangle her to succeed at last?
5261Was Mrs. Warrington preparing to strike a blow that would be the last impulse necessary to send the plunger down for the last time?
5261Was Stella here, after all?
5261Was Warrington worth it all?
5261Was Warrington, a live spender, to slip through her grasp for a chance acquaintance?
5261Was he a detective?
5261Was he in the plot, too?
5261Was he merely a live spender whom she could not afford to lose?
5261Was he what he represented himself to be?
5261Was it a side- light upon that peculiar industry of divorce as practiced in no place except New York?
5261Was it an optical illusion, a freak of her sight?
5261Was it because, having cut loose from the one feminine tie that morally bound him, he no longer felt any restraint in cutting loose from others?
5261Was it merely what the rest of the world knew?
5261Was it to put her on her guard or was it in a spirit of bravado?
5261Was n''t it strange?"
5261Was she a clever actress-- one minute hardened Miss Sophisticated, the next appealing Miss Innocence?
5261Was she in the habit of taking it this way?"
5261Was she the personification of justice?
5261Was she to be the one to hold him back in any way from the new life that was now before him?
5261Was she, after all, wholly mercenary in her attitude toward Warrington?
5261Was that the familiar figure of Gordon moving in the dim light?
5261Was the dream at last to turn to ashes?
5261Was the druggist, Muller, the man higher up?
5261Was the girl crazy?
5261Was there some secret he wished to lock in her breast forever?
5261Was this but a foretaste of the ostracism of the world?
5261Was this to be the end of it all?
5261We pour our money into his pockets now and let him sell at the top and grab back control with OUR money?
5261Were they centering their efforts on capturing him?
5261Were they not partners?
5261What am I to do?
5261What are you going to do?"
5261What could it have been that Drummond was doing?
5261What could they do?
5261What did he mean?
5261What did it all mean?
5261What did it all mean?
5261What did it mean?
5261What did it mean?
5261What did it mean?
5261What did it mean?
5261What did it mean?
5261What did it mean?
5261What did it mean?
5261What did they conceal?
5261What do you mean by Mrs. Warrington?
5261What do you mean?"
5261What had Brainard meant by that reference to Worthington?
5261What had happened?
5261What has she to do with this?
5261What if Drummond, in his animosity, ever got the truth?
5261What if he did?
5261What if he should betray himself in some way?
5261What if he were able to cut off her little allowance?
5261What is it-- a pack of strippers?"
5261What is that?"
5261What lay that way?
5261What of him?"
5261What shall I do?"
5261What shall we do?"
5261What should she do with the girl?
5261What should she do?
5261What was he doing in the case?
5261What was he doing?
5261What was it now, she wondered-- a divorce case, a scandal-- what?
5261What was it that had impelled her to say it?
5261What was it?
5261What was it?
5261What was she driving at-- blackmail?
5261What was the bond of intimacy between them?
5261What was the matter?
5261What was there about this little woman that had compelled his attention and interest from the moment he had been introduced?
5261What was to be done about her?
5261What would you do?"
5261Where did the"coke"come from?
5261Where do you get this money?''
5261Where is Santos?
5261Where was he?
5261Where was she?
5261Who had touched it?
5261Who is the man at the top?"
5261Who is this wonderful Graeme Mackenzie?
5261Who knows what may happen?
5261Who told you?"
5261Who was it?
5261Who was the man higher up?
5261Who would be the last person a man or woman would suspect of being a detective?
5261Whose voice was it calling Bella?
5261Whose were they?
5261Why can not we be frank with one another?"
5261Why did he not answer her message in some way?
5261Why did she not say something, do something?
5261Why did the teller not raise the wicket and shove out the money in a coveted pile?
5261Why do you believe it?
5261Why had Bella LeMar invited her here?
5261Why had Drummond come to see her?
5261Why had Vera seemed so distant?
5261Why had he told her that?
5261Why had the detective been employed to follow Stella?
5261Why hesitate?
5261Why not add a new crime to the list?
5261Why not help him?
5261Why not hire the vacant apartment cross the hall from Adele?
5261Why not?
5261Why should I not use some of this idle money to pay me what I ought to have?
5261Why should he not act on it?
5261Why stop at it?
5261Why was he talking thus to her, almost a stranger?
5261Why, Kitty, what is the matter?"
5261Why?
5261Why?"
5261Will you take it?"
5261With many**** Yours,?????
5261With many**** Yours,?????
5261With many**** Yours,?????
5261With many**** Yours,?????
5261With many**** Yours,?????
5261Would a window open presently and an alarm be sounded?
5261Would he misinterpret it?
5261Would it really show anything, she wondered?
5261Would it save her?
5261Would you like to be free-- financially?
5261Would you like to come along?"
5261Yes?
5261Yes?
5261Yet what was Santos to her, after all?
5261You always get in when it comes to trimming the good spenders, do n''t you?"
5261You did n''t know that?
5261You do n''t realize that this interview helps to prove it, do you?
5261You have nothing to say?
5261You have seen her?
5261You may uncover a six- dollar operative, Mrs. Douglas, but are you the equal of a twenty- dollar- a- day investigator?"
5261You must--""But-- Gordon?"
5261You remember that delightful Mr. Davies who has been here?
5261You remember the breakfast dream, when I said that much could be traced back to dreams?
5261You saw the district attorney?"
5261You understand?"
5261exclaimed Drummond, walking along beside her, and adding contemptuously,"I do n''t know the young one, but you know who the other is?"
5261she interrupted coolly,"what of it?
5261to- night?"
55137A clue to what? 55137 A confession?"
55137A niece,retorted Laurance, recovering;"why should n''t I be in love as well as you, Halliday?
55137About Mr. Laurance and his marriage?
55137About the murder of Durwin?
55137About the murder?
55137About what matter?
55137Aiming at the sun is he?
55137Am I addressing Beelzebub?
55137Am I? 55137 An association for what?"
55137And I,followed on the Inspector,"and why should we take notice of it, Mr. Halliday?
55137And Marcus Penn?
55137And if I do not obey you?
55137And if I refuse?
55137And if I speak to the police in the meantime?
55137And if you do n''t?
55137And no fly?
55137And risk Lillian''s life and my own? 55137 And that is?"
55137And the safe keeping?
55137And the scent? 55137 And the telegram which Curberry received?"
55137And this fly?
55137And what about this fly?
55137And you are quite-- quite happy, dear?
55137And you will?
55137And your objects?
55137Another of the murders?
55137Are we to meet him here?
55137Are you human beings or fiends?
55137Are you sure?
55137Are you, then, so susceptible to scents?
55137As how?
55137Aviators generally look down,said Dan flippantly;"am I to be allowed to take you and Lillian to the theatre this evening?"
55137But Miss Moon?
55137But do n''t you think that I should see Inspector Tenson and explain?
55137But everything so far is theoretical in this case,he argued;"you have told me all you know?"
55137But for what reason?
55137But for what reason?
55137But how can this chatter of Mrs. Pelgrin''s help?
55137But how can you tell her without danger?
55137But how could she induce Sir Charles to drink poison?
55137But if Lord Curberry asks for you?
55137But surely you do n''t believe that a paralyzed woman like Miss Armour has anything to do with this business?
55137But why did Queen Beelzebub wish my father to belong to the gang?
55137But why has she gone to see a man she hates?
55137But would n''t it be wise of her to tell him and ask him to assist in the search?
55137But, Dan,asked Lillian, timidly,"do you think that Mrs. Jarsell really did murder my father?"
55137Ca n''t I buy it anywhere?
55137Can it be that the inventor has a daughter fair?
55137Can you expect him to?
55137Can you?
55137Cold is it?
55137Cold, do you call it? 55137 Come to tea?"
55137Connected with the case?
55137Conspirator,echoed Lillian, gaily,"now what does that mysterious word mean, Dan?
55137Curberry would not let you?
55137D---- you, sir, how dare you?
55137Delightful,cried Miss Armour with great animation,"and the lady?"
55137Did I mention her? 55137 Did Queen Beelzebub give you the poison?"
55137Did any one push him in?
55137Did he tell you anything?
55137Did you see any one strike him?
55137Did you see her?
55137Did you tell dad that you loved me?
55137Did you?
55137Do n''t you find it dull here, Miss Vincent?
55137Do n''t you know that a woman of that name called here?
55137Do n''t you remember the case of Sir Charles Moon?
55137Do n''t you remember the murder we read about some months ago?
55137Do n''t you remember? 55137 Do they contain mention of my name?"
55137Do we stay at Thawley?
55137Do you know the lady?
55137Do you know to whom you are speaking?
55137Do you like living here, Miss Vincent?
55137Do you mean Icarus or Phaeton, Sir Charles?
55137Do you mind my smoking, Miss Armour?
55137Do you think Mrs. Pelgrin or her nephew knew anything of the matter?
55137Do you think,asked Lillian, after a pause,"that the members of the society expected that explosion?"
55137Does Miss Moon go back also?
55137Does Mr. Penn know nothing?
55137Does she really mean to torture me?
55137Durwin,echoed the policeman sharply,"do you know the gentleman?"
55137Escape, and from Queen Beelzebub? 55137 Fond of you?"
55137Friends of yours, no doubt?
55137George?
55137Good Lord, how does she speak to those she is n''t fond of?
55137H''m,commenced Freddy, when he ended,"so she did n''t give herself away?"
55137Had you ever seen Mrs. Brown before?
55137Has he told you that my marriage depends upon my finding out who murdered her father?
55137Have a cigarette and something wet? 55137 Have the police discovered who murdered Sir Charles?"
55137Have you had any published?
55137Have you risen from the earth, or dropped from the skies? 55137 He aims at the sun,"said Lillian gaily,"how much higher do you expect him to aim, dad?"
55137He is, I assure you,said Dan, wondering why she rang the bell,"but who are the members of your gang?"
55137Her?
55137Here?
55137How are things going with you, Halliday?
55137How dare you say that?
55137How did they die?
55137How did you guess that, Halliday? 55137 How do you know that Sir Charles has been murdered?"
55137How do you mean to get him to tell you the truth?
55137How like him,ejaculated Laurance quickly;"but upon what grounds?"
55137How the deuce can I get the kind of smell into your head? 55137 Hullo, what''s this?"
55137I agree with you,said Mrs. Jarsell, gravely,"well, and what happened?"
55137I am curious about Penn''s death myself,said Dan agreeably,"did he commit suicide?"
55137I am decent?
55137I do n''t know what you mean, dad?
55137I love adventures,replied the woman, heavily,"and this one?"
55137I quite believe that,said Halliday drily,"but did all this villainy give you pleasure?"
55137I really think I should like-- where am I to sit?
55137I say, Freddy,observed Halliday in a lazy tone,"why is the good lady so very savage?"
55137I shall be delighted,Mrs. Jarsell murmured vaguely,"how have you been, Mr. Halliday, since I saw you last?"
55137I suppose Mrs. Jarsell did blow up the house, Dan?
55137I suppose you saw that Mr. Penn is dead?
55137I wonder why she murdered Sir Charles?
55137If I am, why not make the matter public?
55137In what way?
55137Indeed,said that lady, looking at him hard,"in what way?"
55137Is Mr. Durwin dead?
55137Is it a business, or a whim-- a hobby?
55137Is it all right, Halliday?
55137Is it as serious as that?
55137Is it? 55137 Is n''t it a splendid day for the race, Miss Moon?"
55137Is n''t it dangerous?
55137Is there a fly on him?
55137Is there any chance of the woman who killed Sir Charles being found?
55137Is this the Sumatra scent?
55137It''s dreadful and wonderful, and very horrid,said Lillian, drawing a deep breath;"do you think that Mr. Penn murdered my father?"
55137Lillian?
55137May I look at the body?
55137Me?
55137Miss Armour was never really paralyzed, I suppose?
55137Moon? 55137 Mr. Durwin?
55137Murdered?
55137No harm?
55137No, Mr. Halliday, how can I guess your thoughts?
55137Nothing wrong?
55137Now what''s the meaning of all that chatter?
55137Now? 55137 Oh, how can you; how can you?"
55137Oh, that''s her name, is it? 55137 Oh, what is it, what is it?"
55137Oh, you''re here again?
55137Oh,Dan started to his feet,"then Penn has left a confession?"
55137Oh,Dan was startled, but did not show it,"your Sheepeak friend has been to London then?"
55137Oh,cried Lillian, eagerly,"what does the confession say?"
55137On the handkerchief, perhaps?
55137On what subject?
55137Power for a bad purpose?
55137Queen Beelzebub?
55137Queen Beelzebub?
55137Quick, quick, what will you do?
55137Rather selfish, is n''t it?
55137She killed Durwin?
55137She? 55137 So who say?"
55137So you have learned something since I have been away?
55137So you said before,rejoined Halliday drily;"why repeat yourself?
55137So you took the poison?
55137Something about torture?
55137Suicide, then?
55137Supposing I have; what can I do?
55137That''s all right, Mrs. Pelgrin,said Freddy, throwing himself down on a slippery horse- hair sofa--"and supper?"
55137Then Durwin?
55137Then Lord Curberry? 55137 Then how did Sir Charles''s clothes become impregnated with it?"
55137Then is this miserable money to stand between us?
55137Then why stop me from searching?
55137There is a gang then?
55137This is Mr. Laurance and Mr.----"Of course I know it is Mr. Laurance,said Vincent testily,"do you think I am blind?
55137Tit for tat, Queen Beelzebub, or shall I call you Miss Armour?
55137To the extent of taking you as a nephew?
55137Trust who?
55137Vincent wants his aeroplanes exploited, does n''t he? 55137 Vincent, Vincent?
55137Wait a moment,said Laurance, following Dan to the door,"what about Sir John Moon?
55137Was Sir Charles murdered by this gang?
55137Was your machine tampered with?
55137We?
55137Well, Mr. Halliday,remarked Mildred, whose cheeks were flushed and whose eyes were bright,"what did my uncle say?"
55137Well, and am I not one of the servants? 55137 Well, can you get me some?"
55137Well, if Curberry does favor this Society of Flies, who knows what I may discover? 55137 Well, well?"
55137Well,said Dan, as if making up his mind,"can I ever leave the society if I once join it?"
55137Well?
55137Well?
55137Well?
55137Well?
55137Well?
55137Were they addressed to you?
55137What about your own?
55137What action will you take now?
55137What are they?
55137What are you talking about, Bolly darling?
55137What did he say?
55137What do you know of my literary ambitions?
55137What do you know?
55137What do you make of it all, Freddy?
55137What do you mean by that exactly?
55137What do you mean by that?
55137What do you mean by the next murder?
55137What do you mean by-- yet?
55137What do you mean; what do you mean?
55137What do you mean?
55137What do you mean?
55137What do you mean?
55137What do you think about the fly?
55137What does Dan say?
55137What does dad mean?
55137What evidence have you to show that he died by violence?
55137What has a fly to do with the matter? 55137 What has it to do with a gang?"
55137What have you learned?
55137What have you there?
55137What is dishonor? 55137 What is it, then?"
55137What is it?
55137What is it?
55137What is marriage without love?
55137What is the business?
55137What is the matter?
55137What is the meaning of this outrage?
55137What of that?
55137What other thing?
55137What situation?
55137What sort of people?
55137What sort of scent is it?
55137What truth? 55137 What were they about?"
55137What will that do?
55137What''s a pity?
55137What''s all this?
55137What''s that, sir?
55137What''s that?
55137What''s that?
55137What''s that?
55137What''s the matter with him; has he had a fit?
55137What''s the matter?
55137What''s the matter?
55137What''s this-- what''s this?
55137What-- what-- what do you want to know?
55137When do you intend to get married?
55137Where am I?
55137Where are the headquarters?
55137Where are we going to?
55137Where did you find me?
55137Where did you meet her?
55137Where from?
55137Where has she gone to?
55137Where is Mr. Vincent''s machine now?
55137Where is my father?
55137Where is she?
55137Where is that?
55137Where the deuce did you get this?
55137Where will you take me?
55137Who are you, and what do you want?
55137Who are you?
55137Who can say who is guilty?
55137Who do you think put it there, Dan?
55137Who is Marcus Penn?
55137Who is Miss Armour?
55137Who is Queen Beelzebub?
55137Who is it that all obey?
55137Who is pumping?
55137Who knows anything of this?
55137Who tempted him?
55137Who told you about me?
55137Who we? 55137 Why did Queen Beelzebub found such a wicked society?"
55137Why did n''t you go straight home and get it?
55137Why did you not ask Miss Armour about it?
55137Why do you advise us not to see the ladies again?
55137Why do you wish to get to the library?
55137Why not before the race, which does not take place for a couple of days?
55137Why not turn king''s evidence, and denounce this woman and her gang? 55137 Why not''Dan''?"
55137Why not? 55137 Why not?"
55137Why not?
55137Why should I help you to escape?
55137Why should he commit suicide?
55137Why should she?
55137Why should you think that Penn knew of anything likely to set your mind at rest on that point?
55137Why? 55137 Why?"
55137Will it state that Curberry belonged to Queen Beelzebub''s gang?
55137Will it, do you think?
55137Will this suit you?
55137Will you? 55137 Would n''t it?"
55137Would two thousand pounds suit you?
55137Would you like what is left of the bottle?
55137Yes, sir,said the man stolidly,"you''re going for another fly?"
55137Yes?
55137You ask that?
55137You belong to it?
55137You consent?
55137You dare to say that when you have brought us to this pass?
55137You do n''t think there is danger?
55137You go to town this evening?
55137You have mine already,declared the old lady vivaciously,"but why Eliza''s?"
55137You mean mischief?
55137You think Lillian is safe?
55137You think that this gang you mention had him put out of the way?
55137You used it on the night of the murder?
55137You will give him a good character?
55137You''ll be seeing Mrs. Jarsell again?
55137All the better, is n''t it?"
55137All the same,"Penn hesitated, and writhed,"why should you do this for me?"
55137And father was so good, so kind,--oh, who can have killed him in this cruel way?"
55137And the aims?"
55137And the cards?
55137And the perfume?
55137And then----""And then?"
55137And where will he find a better chance than for an experienced man, such as I am, flying his latest invention in_ The Moment''s_ London to York race?"
55137And your Mildred?"
55137Anything interesting in it about your Austrian excursion?"
55137Anything wrong?"
55137Are you going away to- morrow?"
55137Are you rich?"
55137As to serving your country, how could you, with an easy conscience, when you have broken its law by taking the lives of your uncle and cousin?"
55137At this very moment?"
55137Bolly dear,"and Lillian ran to the stout chaperon to embrace her with many kisses,"was dad nasty?"
55137Bolstreath?"
55137Brown?"
55137Brown?"
55137But I thought you proved to your satisfaction that there was nothing in this perfume business?"
55137But did he explain?
55137But how did it come about?
55137But if what you think is true, would the man have disclosed a secret dangerous to his own safety?"
55137But it is understood that Lillian is not to be worried about the matter?"
55137But since Penn told you so much, are n''t you in danger from the gang yourself, Dan?"
55137But what can I give you in return, Miss Cr[oe]sus?"
55137But what does a gay young man, as I see you are, do in this solitary neighborhood?"
55137But where did you get the particular scent you are using now, may I ask?"
55137But who is the assassin?"
55137But why should n''t all go well?"
55137But would the society do honor to me?"
55137But you must give me your promise that you will not run away with him meanwhile?"
55137By the way, Lillian, why should he send to you about the matter?"
55137By the way, how was Freddy so certain that I was at The Grange?
55137By the way, where is Laurance?"
55137Can he see me?"
55137Dan made himself comfortable, while Penn pulled up the windows of the taxi, so as to keep out the damp air,"the long arm of coincidence?"
55137Dan nodded thankfully,"we go to Vincent the day after to- morrow?"
55137Did Penn know the truth?
55137Did n''t the footman see the body-- that is if Mrs. Brown committed the crime-- when he came to show her out?
55137Did she tell you about the start?"
55137Did you recognize Mrs. Jarsell as that person?"
55137Do I shock you, Mrs. Jarsell?
55137Do n''t you think you had better loose my hands and turn up the lights?"
55137Do n''t you want more money?"
55137Do not let anyone touch this,"and he tapped the aeroplane,"you understand?"
55137Do you know Curberry?"
55137Do you know the present Lord Curberry?"
55137Do you think she is guilty?"
55137Durwin?"
55137Eliza, will you go and send those telegrams, you silly fool?
55137Eliza?"
55137Freddy sat up aghast in his corner of the room,"the perfume about which Penn explained?"
55137From Sumatra?"
55137Halliday dropped his pipe,"the devil,"he picked it up again,"I wonder why they killed him?"
55137Halliday?"
55137Halliday?"
55137Halliday?"
55137Halliday?"
55137Halliday?"
55137Halliday?"
55137Halliday?"
55137Has it anything to do with a gang?"
55137Has this gang----""Murdered him?"
55137Have you ever smelt a perfume like it before?"
55137Have you examined those windows?"
55137Have you seen_ The Moment_ this morning?"
55137Have you written to Miss Vincent?"
55137He is too rich, I suppose?"
55137How can I get hold of the machine?"
55137How did you know she was a woman?"
55137How did you know that the papers were in the second volume of Gibbon?"
55137How do you do, Laurance?
55137How do you intend to begin?"
55137How does that strike you?"
55137How long is this unsatisfactory state of things going to last, my son?"
55137I hear that you take people flights for money?"
55137I suppose she comes sometimes to Lord Curberry''s house?"
55137I suppose you are certain the perfume is the same?"
55137I suppose, Dan, you would recognize the scent again?"
55137I suppose,"said Dan darting off at a tangent,"that you are comfortable with Lord Curberry?"
55137I wonder how Miss Moon is to be hidden though; since the Society of Flies may employ spies to find her whereabouts?"
55137I wonder what is the matter?"
55137I wonder what she meant?"
55137If you are dull here, perhaps, Miss Moon, you would like to meet them?"
55137Is Miss Moon going to see you start for York?"
55137Is Mrs. Jarsell connected with this gang?"
55137Is anything wrong?"
55137Is he with her?"
55137Is she pretty?"
55137Is the name in that paper?"
55137Is your flying- machine near at hand?"
55137Is your friend, Mr. Laurance, with you?"
55137Jarsell?"
55137Jarsell?"
55137Jarsell?"
55137Jarsell?"
55137Jarsell?"
55137Jarsell?"
55137Jarsell?"
55137Jarsell?"
55137Jarsell?"
55137Laurance?"
55137Lillian caught her lover''s hand,"you do n''t think that Lord Curberry killed my father?"
55137May I ask why I have been brought here?"
55137Moon?"
55137Mrs. Jarsell reeled back as though she had been struck;"she told you that, did she?"
55137Now I wonder what this means?
55137Now where did Mrs. Jarsell get it?
55137Now why should she so wonder, unless she had proofs that the said money was not come by honestly?
55137Penn?"
55137Penn?"
55137Penn?"
55137Penn?"
55137Surely you have some sympathy with me and with her?"
55137The Vulcan Hotel?
55137The one girl in the world for you?"
55137The police ca n''t connect me with his death?"
55137Then I escorted her home----""To Hillshire?
55137Then she-- she----""Queen Beelzebub you mean?"
55137Those who come once, come twice; quite a proverb, is n''t it?
55137To me?
55137Understand?"
55137Was there any fly found on Penn''s body, or was there mention of any scent?"
55137Was this another crime similar to that committed at Hampstead, when Sir Charles was killed for knowing too much?
55137Well?"
55137Well?"
55137Well?"
55137Well?"
55137Well?"
55137Well?"
55137What about the scent?"
55137What about your society?"
55137What are you doing here, Mr. Durwin?
55137What are you doing now, if I may ask?"
55137What had I done to her that she should rob me of my dear, kind father?"
55137What have you to say to it?"
55137What have you to say why we should not torture you and kill you, and force you to die by inches?"
55137What have you to say?"
55137What objection have you to the match?"
55137What should be wrong?"
55137What the deuce am I to do?"
55137What then?"
55137What took place in the meantime?"
55137What we?"
55137What''s her name?"
55137What?"
55137When are we to go?"
55137When does the inquest take place?"
55137When is the wedding to be?"
55137Where have I heard that name?"
55137Where is it best to place her, with Mrs. Bolstreath as her guardian?"
55137Who knows?"
55137Who says there is a gang?"
55137Who?"
55137Why did you come?"
55137Why did you tell me?"
55137Why do you ask questions you know the answer to?
55137Why do you ask?
55137Why do you ask?"
55137Why do you come and bother me when I do n''t want you?"
55137Why do you require me to tell you such elementary truths, Freddy?"
55137Why not ask her straight out?"
55137Why not tell him what you have learned, Dan?
55137Why not try a fly with me?"
55137Why should I?"
55137Why should she?
55137Why should the members murder poor people?"
55137Why, at this late hour, do you wish to rake up stale news?
55137Why?"
55137Yes?"
55137Yet if you do n''t move, what is to be done?"
55137Yet why should he not do so, should Mrs. Jarsell''s doings be entirely honest?
55137You do n''t mind my smoking while you eat?"
55137You feel remorse----""Does she?"
55137You got my wire?"
55137You have seen him also?"
55137You know what you have to do, you poor silly fool?"
55137You saw her also, I believe?"
55137You understand?"
55137You will work with me to save Lillian?"
55137Yours?"
55137cried Queen Beelzebub, gaily;"and what good does that do, my very dear Eliza, when you know what you have to do?"
55137echoed Halliday, sitting down again,"in what way?"
55137echoed Lillian with a thankful glance at the sight of her lover,"why do you say''blame,''Lord Curberry?"
55137he asked anxiously,"is anything the matter with Lillian?"
55137interrupted Laurance, as a clamor arose on the outskirts of the now fast diminishing crowd,"what''s the matter?
55137repeated Laurance, who was calmly smoking, with his feet on the opposite seat,"what her?"
55137said Halliday, equally coolly, and aware that the cat- and- mouse torment was beginning,"so that''s it, is it?"
55137said Mrs. Bolstreath, anxiously,"is n''t that a very sudden resolution?"
55137then your Sumatra cousin is now in England?"
55137those telegrams?"
55137what''s five hundred a year?"
55137who murdered him?"
56470A hundred thousand dollars?
56470A kiss to speed the wish?
56470About divorce? 56470 All the same you''re putting two and two together?"
56470Am I a wooden man? 56470 And did you?"
56470And what for the Duke without the pearls?
56470And you''re sure the present_ will_ be the pearls?
56470Are n''t they_ big_? 56470 Are you awake?"
56470Are you satisfied, Monsieur?
56470Are you standing up for him?
56470But how?
56470But what about the pearls?
56470But-- didn''t the messenger insist?
56470By Jove, you_ are_ in love, are n''t you?
56470Ca n''t you forget those orders, and persuade her to make an exception for us?
56470Can you beat it?
56470Can you find your way up?
56470Can you think of any one else to suspect?
56470Can_ you_ say it was n''t her thought?
56470Could you let Simone go for a few minutes?
56470Did he get them?
56470Did n''t Pat say anything about himself-- where he was going from the club, what had happened since you met, or what he meant to do to- day?
56470Did n''t a Tsarina of Russia sell the pearls to some old ancestor of yours?
56470Did the note come from home?
56470Do n''t the poor pearls come up to your hopes?
56470Do n''t you know I never read the rag? 56470 Do n''t you think I have?
56470Do n''t you think by this time I know your tones and your expressions? 56470 Do n''t you_ know_ what I mean?"
56470Do with it?
56470Do you begin to see Markoff''s game?
56470Do you know what happened to hurt you-- eh?
56470Do you know who was supposed to have sealed up the packet?
56470Do you mean you take it all as gospel truth yourself?
56470Do you need an answer to that question?
56470Do you remember the little box I brought you, with its blobby seals? 56470 Do you want to go to prison while he''s left free-- to_ marry his girl in Marseilles_?"
56470Does His Grace wish me to make his excuses to the messenger?
56470Does he speak rather like an Englishman, or do I imagine it?
56470Does one?
56470Does the pig mention her by name?
56470Good gracious, for_ what_?
56470He''s found?
56470His doings-- to- night? 56470 How can Monsieur Mayen send them without danger of their being stolen?"
56470How can it be till you give me that promise?
56470How can you tell real ones from false?
56470How did you happen to find the letter?
56470How do you do?
56470How do you know?
56470How do you know?
56470How long-- in God''s name?
56470How soon can you get hold of the money?
56470How soon-- can you do this?
56470How was that? 56470 How, in the fire?"
56470How?
56470How?
56470I suppose she went away when she heard that?
56470I suppose so,Jack admitted,"unless----""Unless what?"
56470I wonder if any of you have heard it? 56470 I wonder?"
56470If-- if I will not?
56470Is he afraid she''ll do Beatty harm?
56470Is he here, too?
56470Is he in the house?
56470Is he still hypnotized?
56470Is he waiting for an answer?
56470Is it her movements or Beatty''s that interest you?
56470Is it my present from you?
56470Is that what you intend to do?
56470Is that you yourself, Duchess? 56470 Is there anything in this?"
56470Jack,she said, sadly,"what am I going to do if that woman takes_ you_ away from me as well as Pat?"
56470Know this brute, sir?
56470Listen, my kid, did you come here to me to ask my advice?
56470May I speak out, sir?
56470Miladi has known Mademoiselle since her schooldays, is it not?
56470Monsieur accuses me of-- something?
56470Monsieur has arrived on the_ Britannia_, is it not?
56470No? 56470 Not got them?"
56470Of course you did n''t receive them?
56470Oh, yes-- wife of a diplomat of sorts, is n''t she? 56470 On the other''and, w''y_ should_ they?"
56470Or is it one single affair-- the affair of Lyda Pavoya and your pearls?
56470Perhaps you do n''t know where I live? 56470 Sha n''t I call at your house instead?"
56470Shall I come in, sir?
56470Shall we go into the dining room?
56470So you_ did_ know?
56470So, you actually suspect Simone? 56470 That''s your advice?"
56470The Countess told you what happened when I was looking into the crystal for her?
56470The carpet, Miladi?
56470The purser on the ship, who had the box in his safe, coming over? 56470 Then it_ was_ true?"
56470Then you''ve given up those ideas you had this morning?
56470There''s no objection to my being masked, I suppose?
56470They were blackmailing her?
56470This is a new development, is n''t it, Nick knowing anything about Simone? 56470 Was the Tsarina a blonde?"
56470Well, what do you think?
56470Well?
56470Wen''e come back to himself, bineby,''e will remember everything per''aps, an''zen w''ere will you all be?
56470What I want to find out is,_ who_ is the chap Claremanagh paid about a hundred thousand dollars to last night, here in this club?
56470What about that detective you spoke of-- the one who was with Pat and Defasquelle at the club?
56470What about the receipt? 56470 What am I to do?"
56470What are your conditions?
56470What conclusion did you come to about Mademoiselle?
56470What did the picture represent?
56470What do I owe you for-- your services?
56470What do you think of that?
56470What do you want me to say?
56470What do you want?
56470What else did you see in the crystal?
56470What is it, for heaven''s sake?
56470What is it? 56470 What is the matter?"
56470What makes you think or speak of Pavoya just now?
56470What''s the racket this time?
56470What, have him with me?
56470What, then, do you intend to do?
56470What, to the_ Inner Circle_ office?
56470What?
56470What_ did_ you do with it?
56470When was that?
56470Where is he?
56470Where''s my husband?
56470Whether she ever wore the pearls? 56470 Whisperer stuff?"
56470Who brought this?
56470Who else, then?
56470Who is the man?
56470Who knows, indeed?
56470Who was the man?
56470Why do you call him''Peter''?
56470Why does she look at me so?
56470Why not out with it at once, and not beat round the bush?
56470Why not with you?
56470Why not? 56470 Why not?"
56470Why should n''t he communicate with_ me_?
56470Why should you believe it? 56470 Why, has the viper got in a dig against us?"
56470Why, what should I do but keep it in the bank waiting for the Lady of my Dreams? 56470 Will you let him go if I tell you things?"
56470Will_ Madame la Duchesse_ wear them to- night?
56470Would you believe it,the girl veered abruptly to a new subject,"two reporters have called to interview me about the_ Inner Circle_ stuff?"
56470Would you care to have supper with me at my house to- night?
56470Yes, it was true----"And is still?
56470You are sure?
56470You believe she knows?
56470You do n''t mean_ here_?
56470You have seen them, then?
56470You knew Old Nick was dogging Simone''s footsteps?
56470You mean you''ve met Pavoya?'' 56470 You mean, you''ll not go to Long Island?
56470You ought to know I''ll help you, in any way I jolly well can----"In_ any_ way?
56470You think your editor has been talking, eh?
56470You''ve had Simone shadowed?
56470_ Bien, Monsieur le Duc!_agreed Simone; then added instantly,"And the Capitaine Manners?
56470_ Did_ you-- really? 56470 _ Francs?_"echoed Juliet.
56470_ Is_ it a different affair?
56470_ Madame la Duchesse has rung?_"Where is that horrid_ Inner Circle_?
56470_ Madame la Duchesse has rung?_"Where is that horrid_ Inner Circle_?
56470_ Madame la Duchesse_ is ready for me to finish dressing her?
56470_ Who_ is treacherous-- horrible?
56470( What right had he to make a"personal"comment like that?)
56470... What I asked was,_ have_ you seen''the Whisperer stuff''in this week''s_ Inner Circle_?"
56470A person who must be protected at any price?
56470A thing which would make theft possible?
56470Am I right?"
56470And I might come in''andy,''oo knows?"
56470And besides, what would have been gained by keeping the man a moment more?
56470And if not, what use is it?"
56470And if you are the one person on earth who can do it, the question is-- will you?"
56470And now-- what?"
56470And the clasp is charming, is n''t it?
56470And the horrible London man, Piggott-- his brother- in- law-- struck you from behind----""Was it like that?
56470And was it"fine"of her to"consent"that he should tell Juliet, and if necessary a detective?
56470And what I''d like to know also, in the circumstances, is how did he get the money?"
56470And what if I refuse to treat at all?"
56470And where should I be then?
56470Are n''t they_ blue_?
56470Besides, why make a cap fit you by wearing it?
56470Besides, why should the woman-- even if she knew them-- betray valuable secrets of the paper and its best correspondents?
56470But how did you_ know_ it concerned me?"
56470But how many true ones?
56470But putting that aside, why not keep to the point?
56470But what would you?
56470But would n''t_ you_ be sorry-- when you''d divorced him?"
56470But you ca n''t say that now, can you?"
56470But you know Old Nick?
56470But, of what comfort was that to her, as he refused to tell her what it was until-- or if-- he could obtain positive proof?
56470But, on second thoughts, what_ did_ it matter?
56470But----""Oh, then you_ were_ in the room?
56470But_ would the scratch have been copied_?
56470By rights, I ought n''t to have seen this show till to- morrow night, ought I?
56470CHAPTER XVII THE CRYSTAL"Have you an appointment, Madam?"
56470CHAPTER XX THE THIRD DEGREE"To begin with, where''s the Duchess?"
56470Ca n''t you swear that those five red blobs have never been tampered with, even by the smartest expert alive?"
56470Can he bash_ that_?
56470Can you come around at once?"
56470Can you manage that?"
56470Claremanagh had his own confidential man, Nickson( known as"Old Nick"); why should not Juliet have hers?
56470Come and sit by me on the sofa, will you?"
56470Could Madame Veno mean to give away Mademoiselle Amaranthe''s connection with the_ Inner Circle_?
56470Could he have been in the act of giving Pavoya a jewel from the safe when he had been forced to answer a knock?
56470Could she have made friends with Juliet?
56470Could that fiend of a"Whisperer"have got hold of anything new about Pat and Pavoya?
56470Could they be otherwise?
56470Darling, I suppose you would n''t be here now if you did n''t know how I got to this place?"
56470Did any one else see Claremanagh pay him the money?
56470Did not Madame know?
56470Did such a man as Markoff from Petrograd even_ exist_?
56470Did you ever hear of her?"
56470Did you ever suspect that Mr. Lowndes--''Billy Lowndes''I hear him called-- was for something in that paper?"
56470Did you feel this when we met to- night?"
56470Did you think I would?"
56470Do n''t the Claremanagh men always give them to their brides?"
56470Do n''t you think I did right?"
56470Do you agree to the arrangement?"
56470Do you believe I am able to do this, or do you not?"
56470Do you mind getting up and dressing in a hurry, and letting me come round to see you?"
56470Do you still hate your poor Romeo,_ Giullietta mia_, or do you feel like forgetting, too, and beginning all over again?"
56470Does that scheme look good to you?"
56470Even if Lyda had disgorged the booty, would there have been time for it to arrive from across the Atlantic?
56470Had the Japanese told Claremanagh of his arrival, he wondered?
56470Has your mistress come home?"
56470Have you a private sitting room?"
56470Have you ever heard of a palmist and fortune teller named Madame Veno?"
56470Have you seen''the Whisperer stuff''?"
56470He asked himself over and over again a question he could not, would not ask her-- what, in God''s name, she intended to do next?
56470He was n''t bad to look at, judging from his portrait----""Was he like you?"
56470He was n''t in----""Did you think he would be?"
56470How could she have hated the things so angrily an hour ago?
56470How did she know that the story about Monsieur Mayen was not a"fake"?
56470How had he lived before that time?
56470How many sides had this Polish dancer''s nature?
56470How much could he tell?
56470How much had he heard?
56470How was she feeling now?
56470How would it feel to meet Juliet married-- and married to a man with whom fate had queerly forced him into friendship?
56470How you got on-- what have you got out of her?"
56470How''ll you know when the client goes?"
56470I do not know if that is forbidden by your law?
56470I hope I''ve not kept you waiting?"
56470I suppose I had a right to_ take_ it, had n''t I?"
56470I suppose Mademoiselle wo n''t be forever?"
56470I suppose she is at home?"
56470I suppose, of course, you''ve questioned Nickson about his master?"
56470I----""Do you intend to make a scandal of this beastly business?"
56470If I choose to stick to it that I have the real pearls, she ca n''t get much fun out of wearing them, can she?
56470If he has to stand his trial for killing Markoff, why----""How does a man with concussion of the brain commit murder?"
56470If questioning should make bad things worse?
56470If you and the Captain make any frontal attack, so to speak, will you tike me along?
56470If you care to wait----""When will Madame the Duchess return?"
56470Is all well with the Duchess?"
56470Is he to be kept waiting?"
56470Is n''t that the same thing as telling me?
56470It was when she was dancing for the Polish Relief Fund in Paris, that I saw----""You saw what?"
56470Meanwhile, was there any information, any aid, she could give-- she who had known New York for years?
56470Oh, Captain Manners, where can the Duke be?"
56470Or did she give him credit for running off with the pearls-- or Lyda?
56470Or is it too much?"
56470Or-- why should you know?
56470Pat''s mother died years before you knew him, and only the Duchess is supposed to wear the pearls, is n''t she?"
56470Perhaps you knew her in Paris?
56470See?
56470She knew that the wretched young man must be thinking,"What shall I do?
56470She''ll show you the way, wo n''t you, Madame?"
56470She''s hypnotized you, too, has she?"
56470Since Juliet was out, to whom was the visit of Lyda Pavoya being made?
56470So I asks meself:''_ Oo''s_ walked off with''em, if any one, and is''is Grice doin''a flit in the''ope of trackin''the bloke down?
56470So you wo n''t fail me for the first time in your life, will you?
56470Still, had Togo let the woman in?
56470Suppose he_ does_ love me really, and Pavoya is jealous?
56470Suppose she did appear wearing the rope?
56470That is odd, is it not?
56470That reminds me: you''ve met her?"
56470That''s what you mean, is n''t it?"
56470The Duke and Duchess had quarrelled, so why not?
56470The least crumple in a rose- leaf-- by the way, Simone"( she stopped for a little throaty chuckle),"is it true about the_ carpet_ in this suite?"
56470The one question was, could Madame Veno safely be deceived, or would she find a way of_ forcing_ a promise to be kept?
56470There, for the first time, Sanders stopped him and asked questions: what had been Defasquelle''s manner, what the Duke''s?
56470Was he to have a different sort of thrill each time he met her, always more poignant, more soul- piercing than before?
56470Was n''t she purposely turning suspicion toward Pat when she said, as if dazed, that only he or she could have changed the pearls?
56470Was n''t that just what she''d worked up to, and wanted?
56470Was not Monsieur received by an Irishman named Nickson?"
56470Was she seeking for him?
56470Was that not it?"
56470Well, where does Simone go?"
56470Were such a thing not too absurdly far- fetched, Jack would have asked himself if any one existed who might wish Claremanagh to disappear?
56470What I hope is, they''ll be in time for you to make a show in your box at the opera-- Metropolitan Opera House, you call it, do n''t you?
56470What Pat had done after that, who could tell?
56470What did you expect?
56470What do you think the red stuff is?"
56470What excuse could he make for leaving Juliet abruptly, without hurting her?
56470What for?"
56470What had happened between her and Pat?
56470What have you to tell me in exchange for my story?"
56470What is your name?"
56470What thing was there that Mayen and his messenger had not, which another person might have had?
56470What to do then?
56470What''s the matter with these baubles?"
56470What''s the name of that person?"
56470What?"
56470Where are you?
56470Who discovered the theft?"
56470Who knew how it might end if she played just the right cards?
56470Who''s this man you call a wretch?"
56470Why bring up the lady''s name when we are discussing quite a different affair-- the affair of these pearls?"
56470Why should he bring off a stunt none of us ever brought?
56470Why should it?
56470Why should n''t I wear them, Simone?"
56470Why should n''t they meet?"
56470Will half an hour be too soon for you?"
56470Will you come into my room?"
56470Will you do this for me, Jack?
56470Will you take off my wrap for me?
56470Wo n''t Juliet be_ wild_ if she finds out the wonderful rope everyone was talking about last night was_ false_?"
56470Wo n''t the next number be a sensation?"
56470Would Togo, who had just let in Pavoya, venture to interrupt a_ tête- à  -tête_, by announcing that Her Grace''s cousin had arrived?
56470Would it not be a bold and clever stroke to win him to her side?
56470Would that not be more like her-- more like the woman she was supposed to be?
56470Yes?
56470Yet, on the other hand, are there two such ropes in the world?
56470You can guess what I''m driving at?"
56470You do n''t_ want_ her proved guilty, I suppose?"
56470You expect to keep me at arms''length after that?"
56470You have been there?
56470You have met a friend-- an acquaintance-- of mine, the Comtesse de Saintville?"
56470You know what I mean?"
56470You quite understand?"
56470You saw the packet Defasquelle brought from France?"
56470You see it?"
56470You wo n''t be bored?"
56470You''ll give me the address?"
56470You''ll not mind?"
56470You''ll stay in New York, and be our guest?"
56470You''re sure of that?"
56470You-- Pat did n''t tell you in his letter, about what had happened to the box you must have seen?"
56470You_ did n''t_ see her wearing the Tsarina pearls?
56470_ Had_ Lyda told him the story for Claremanagh''s sake and Juliet''s?
56470_ How much did he remember_?
56470_ Why not for her own_--in the daring wish to make a"friend at court?"
56470_''Oo_ could''a''done the trick?''
56470did that really happen?"
56470or-- both together?
7689Ah, Grabman,said Bill, rising, and making a bow,--for Bill valued himself much on his politeness,--"come to blow a cloud, eh?
7689And did any of those you so prepared die of the same complaint?
7689And in what air would she be so likely to revive?
7689And now,said Beck, when the time came for parting,"you''ll keep from the gin- shop, old''oman, and not shame the young master?"
7689And takes care of poor Helen Mainwaring the orphan? 7689 And the other subject?"
7689And what disturbed your belief?
7689And when you sat up with Mr. Varney''s uncle, did you feel no fear in the dead of the night,--that corpse before you, no fear?
7689And why not, my good woman?
7689Are you serious?
7689Ay,said Lucretia, wearily,"what is the news you bring?"
7689Even in politics?
7689How did you discover me? 7689 How do you know that, pretty prophetess?"
7689How have I distressed you? 7689 Is it true that she has lost the use of her limbs?"
7689Lor''love you, marm, if that curril could speak, who knows vot it might say,--eh, lad, who knows? 7689 Only whim, I fear; and you?"
7689To that amount only? 7689 Under you?
7689Vot should I do vith it? 7689 What has disturbed you?"
7689What is the matter, my poor fellow? 7689 What presentiment can you possibly entertain?"
7689Who is that gentleman?
7689Who shall I say inquired after her, when I see Madame Dalibard?
7689Who? 7689 You do not believe what they taught you?"
7689You do not fear to brave all which the spite of this woman, Jane Prior, may prompt her to say against you?
7689You loved him, then?
7689You sleep well at night?
7689Your name is St. John, sir,--related to the St. Johns of Laughton?
76897, is it?
76897?
7689And does he make debts, like that rascal, Ardworth senior?"
7689And how are all at Old Brompton?"
7689And if I think I should feel this only as your sister, what can be precious enough to satisfy a mother?"
7689And the subjects of the pictures, what shall they be?"
7689And voud n''t I be vorse nor a wiper to take your vages and not vork for''em h- as I h- ought?"
7689And when all this should smile before me in his image, shall I be plucked back again into my hell by the consciousness that a new crime is to be done?
7689And yet why, O lawyer, should rigid moralists blame thee more than such of thy tribe as live, honoured and respectable, upon the frail and the poor?
7689Are you satisfied thus far?"
7689Beck, be n''t you be a hungrateful beast to go for to think of nothin''but the tin, ven your''art ought to varm with hemotion?
7689Becky?"
7689Becky?"
7689Before the week is out, why not all meet in the old halls of Laughton?"
7689Besides, now we have the occasion, or can make it, can we tell how long it will last?
7689But can you suppose that this innocent love- play will not pass rapidly to its denouement?
7689But if my safety is nothing compared to the refinement of your revenge, will you wait till Helen marries Percival St. John?
7689But vould n''t that be a shame?
7689But what is this,--a child''s coral?"
7689Could it be the obscure, briefless lawyer in Gray''s Inn( that very morning the object of his young pity) who was thus lifted into fame?
7689Did he suffer much?"
7689Do you know, I was lying awake all last night to consider what room you would like best for your own?
7689Do you take the father''s part as well as the son''s?"
7689Do you think I would exchange these in a son of mine for the mere graces which a dancing- master can sell him?
7689Drot that Grabman, does he want to get rid of poor Bill?"
7689For this son can I do too much?
7689For what had she studied, and schemed, and calculated, and toiled, and sinned?
7689Grabman, h- am I a man?
7689Had I not, should I have stooped to William Mainwaring?
7689Had not she the right to all he made?
7689Hang it, what do I care for bailiffs?
7689Have you not remarked that, gay as she habitually is, some shadow comes over her so suddenly that one can not trace the cause?"
7689How like Helen, is it not?"
7689How?"
7689I bade him not mention me: yet how else could you learn?"
7689Is it not true that wealth makes us contented to be obscure?
7689Is it so sweet to survey the ills from which thou art delivered?
7689Is this a h- arm, and this a bunch of fives?
7689John?"
7689Look well to yourself, or who knows?
7689Murderer as he was, poisoner, and fratricide, did blood clog his intellect, or crime impoverish the luxury of his genius?
7689Now, since Helen is recommended change of air, why not invite Madame Dalibard to visit you at one of these places?
7689Plague take her, what can have become of the woman?
7689R---- says it has a touch of S----r.""Could M----y have written it?"
7689Shall not the strong law of SYMPATHY find thee out, and thy heart rebuke thy philosophy?
7689Speak to me of the old cedar- trees at Laughton,--do they stand still?
7689St. Paul''s is your mother?
7689Tell me, Helen, now you know him so well,--tell me how I can serve him?
7689The girl has insured her life to the amount of her fortune?"
7689Think you that Plato is at rest, and Shakspeare only basking on a sun- cloud?
7689Though the sneer of the official was just, and the style was not comparable to M----y''s( whose is?
7689Till then, yours-- by what name?
7689Vould not that make us proud, mammy?"
7689Was it through Mr. Varney?
7689What can bring you hither?"
7689What can writers, haranguers, or speculators do more than that?
7689What could fame bestow in compensation?
7689What say you to a cigar?"
7689What secret could that bauble have in common with its ghastly companions in Death''s crypt?
7689What should I fear, ma''am?"
7689What should he want with a door,--a door with a lock to it?
7689What''s that great bill on the wall about?
7689What''s the price?
7689Who among them ever left loft or mattress while a rap could be wrung from either?
7689Who goes''to Corinth to be sage,''or to the Cider Cellar to be serious?"
7689Why did you doubt me, foolish fellow?
7689Why do you weep?"
7689Why should I falter in the paths which he trod with his royal step, only because my goal is not a throne?
7689Why should the soul ever repose?
7689Why should those shaking fingers itch for the poor beggar- man''s hoards?
7689Why then open the cage and bid them fly, in order to spread the net?
7689Why?
7689Will you smile?
7689You are really intimate with young Ardworth, eh?"
7689did n''t I tell you when you wanted a friend to come to me?
7689how is this?
7689what was I saying?
6917Air you the landlord?
6917And how have you prospered in your business enterprises?
6917And where is the overcoat?
6917And you have had no special ground of anxiety of late? 6917 But how is it that I see you so soon?"
6917But of course,I remarked,"you do n''t intend to sell the stone likeness?"
6917But you will not leave me, Willie, until you have given me some clue to your unexpected arrival, and to the strange questions you have been asking? 6917 But,"she resumed, after a brief pause,"do you know my husband?
6917Did he continue to wear it up to the day of his death?
6917Did you have a pleasant passage?
6917Do n''t you know me? 6917 Do you feel rested?"
6917Do you know if he has heard from his friends in Hertfordshire lately?
6917Found out all you wanted to know? 6917 Has Uncle Richard come in?"
6917Have you enjoyed your usual good health during your residence abroad?
6917Have you got a spare bedroom, and can you put me up from now till Monday morning?
6917Have you had it on hand long?
6917Heard what?
6917Here? 6917 Hertfordshire?
6917His old overcoat, Willie-- what a question?
6917How long ago did you know him in Canady?
6917How long pefore?
6917Is he at the door?
6917Is that Mister Stollifer?
6917Johnny, did you notice anything remarkable about the old gentleman who was with me when we met on Young Street this evening?
6917Like to look at something in that way, sir?
6917Meet who?
6917Mister who?
6917O, Mr. Lapierre, eh? 6917 Of course the letter is not for you; why on earth did you open it?"
6917Of whom are you speaking?
6917Rested? 6917 See here, Gridley, old man; have you been playing me a trick?
6917So you did n''t tell him anything about the New York trip?
6917Tell me,he said, addressing the stranger--"What like is this Rantall?
6917The one you wrote to me at Boston? 6917 This, then, is the Royal Oak tavern, and your name is Lapierre?"
6917Uncle,I quickly said,"What''s the matter?
6917Was the new coat cut by a fashionable tailor, and had it a fur collar and cuffs?
6917What has become of his old overcoat?
6917What has he come for, and what does he want?
6917What is the price of this?
6917When did he begin to wear a wig?
6917When did uncle''s death take place?
6917When? 6917 Where?
6917Who and what are Messrs. Morris& Blackwell?
6917Who are you, you scoundrel?
6917Who?
6917Why did he run away from me?
6917Why, what''s the matter?
6917Will you pe so coot as to tell me,he asked,"if Mister Safareen hass peen here?"
6917Yes; who be_ you_?
6917You are rested now, are you not?
6917You do n''t want to do him any harm, do you? 6917 You haf had supper?"
6917And his father-- what would be the consequence to him?
6917And how could my uncle know that I would take the Boston route?
6917And if he_ had_ known, how could he foresee that I would do anything so absurd as to call at the Boston post- office and inquire for letters?
6917And if there had been a murder, how was it that no traces of the body were discoverable?
6917And now what more is there to tell?
6917And ton''t you remember how font of it our frient Safareen used to pe?
6917And what could the reference to my cousin Alice''s sorrows mean?
6917And what should he run for?
6917And, if he had been murdered, what had become of his body?
6917Anything criminal, I mean?"
6917Are you not well?"
6917Bound for town?"
6917But first tell me what you meant by saying what you did just now,--who was it that ran away from you?"
6917But what other explanation did the circumstances admit of?
6917But where was the Captain himself?
6917But why do you ask?"
6917By the by, have you my letter with you?"
6917By the by, would my uncle really meet me at the station, according to his promise?
6917By what conceivable means had my uncle been made aware of my departure from Melbourne?
6917By what means could he possibly know that I would arrive by this train?
6917Could it be possible that this disreputable object was the man whom she had once loved as her husband?
6917Did n''t you meet him just now?"
6917Did you find the money all right, as you expected?"
6917Did you, or did you not?"
6917Do you mean to say you have seen him?"
6917First and foremost, is Alice well?"
6917For what purpose, do you ask?
6917Furlong?"
6917Had I been seen in England by some one who knew me, and had not one written from there?
6917Had Mr. Redpath written to him, as soon as I acquainted that gentleman with my intentions?
6917Had he sunk into the bowels of the earth, or gone up, black mare and all, in a balloon?
6917Had it entered one of the rooms?
6917Had it gone up the chimney of the front room?
6917Had it jumped through one of the windows?
6917Has he done anything?
6917Hass Mister Safareen gone?"
6917How could I have heard of Marcus Weatherley?
6917How else could you account for no trace of him being visible anywhere?
6917How had he contrived to vanish so suddenly out of existence?
6917How on earth had he gained an entrance?
6917How was he to know by what train I would reach Toronto, unless I notified him by telegraph?
6917How was it that no cry or exclamation of any kind had been heard by old Jonathan, sitting there at the door in the open air on a still night?
6917I suppose you saw him on his way down?"
6917I took my cousin''s hand in mine, and asked:"Will you tell me what you know of Mr. Marcus Weatherley?"
6917I turned to speak to Johnny for a moment, when--""Willie, what on earth are you talking about?
6917Is it anything I can tell him?"
6917Is it possible you have not heard?"
6917Is there anything I can do for you?
6917It is possible to sympathize with the prodigal son, but whose heart is wide enough to find sympathy for such a prodigal husband as this?
6917It then occurred to me that I had not noticed it since Gagtooth had been taken ill."By the by, where is it?"
6917Nothing?
6917The one important question for consideration was: What use ought to be made of the facts thus strangely brought to light?
6917The wig, I suppose, was buried with him?"
6917Wass he not here shoost now?"
6917What are you talking about?
6917What fur?"
6917What misfortune had happened to mar the Christmas festivities at my uncle''s house?
6917What shall I say?"
6917What was the use of going home?
6917What would it avail her to still further lacerate the heart of the unhappy woman in whose presence she stood?
6917What''s the matter now, I wonder?"
6917When about half the pile had been exhausted she stopped, and propounded the usual inquiry in the case of strangers:"Where do you expect letters from?"
6917When did you see him there?"
6917When shall we start?"
6917When?"
6917Where could it have hidden itself?
6917Where had he spent the six months which had elapsed since I bade him farewell?
6917Where, then, was Savareen?
6917Who was he?
6917Why kill her outright by revealing the truth?
6917Will you be good enough, then, to describe Mr. Randall''s personal appearance?
6917Would you be so kind as to describe his personal appearance for me?"
6917You have n''t got anything agin him?
6917and reached out towards the gate- keeper a five- cent piece by way of toll, saying as he did so:"Vell, Mister Perry, how coes everytings wiss you?"
6917exclaimed Alice, with a start;"what do you mean, Willie?
6917who?
7690''Pon honour again?
7690And I dare say you heard her say the child was not her own,--that she was paid well for it, eh?
7690And did this woman still go by the name of Joplin?
7690And may I make bold to ask the name of your client?
7690And share the pec, I suppose?
7690And the French''oman sleeps''ere?
7690And vot room be it? 7690 And vot room be that vith the littul vite''ead h- over the door?"
7690And what was the sick gentleman''s name?
7690And where is she now?
7690And you live, then, in the future at last; you have no misgivings now, my Helen? 7690 Bless my vitals, Mr. R----, and it is you, is it?
7690But you''ll not answer? 7690 Can you bring me across him?"
7690First, then, for what offence was Madame Dalibard expelled her uncle''s house,--this house of Laughton? 7690 For what?
7690Her consent is not withheld,answered Percival;"but shall I own it?
7690How is Miss Mainwaring?
7690How much is there in the pus?
7690It is strange,said Lucretia, in hollow tones,"can Nature turn accomplice, and befriend us here?"
7690Jason,( he began) are you playing me false? 7690 Make it twenty-- you nod-- twenty then?
7690Noos of the mattris, then?
7690Secondly, what is the crime with which Mr. Mainwaring, Helen''s father, is charged?
7690The plain truth, I believe; but why these questions at this moment? 7690 This is the truth?"
7690Vot vos it, then?
7690Well, and are you not rejoiced?
7690Well, and what can be discovered? 7690 Well, sir?"
7690Well, then, I has a heart in my buzzom, and if so be I can do a good turn to the''oman wot I has loved and kep''company with, why not?
7690What impressions against my aunt? 7690 What is strange?"
7690What, he lives still?
7690Where was I? 7690 Why not, indeed?"
7690Yes, what of him?
7690Yes,said Bill, sweeping the gold into his corduroy pocket;"and who do you think brought me these shiners?
7690You are certain of that?
7690You have brought with you a companion,--does he wait without? 7690 You know him, then?"
7690''As how?''
7690''But wo n''t they ever ax for the child,--them as giv''it you?''
7690''Shall us come together agin?''
7690''Well,''says I,''where do you hang out?
7690Ah, but for that thought should I have left you as I did?
7690And didst thou not, O Guy''s oak, murmur warning from thine oracular hollows?
7690And ought I not rather to rejoice not to have known the tale of a mother''s shame until I could half forget it on a father''s breast?"
7690And what sort of a man is this Captain Greville?"
7690And what then?
7690And who had destroyed for me, upon all the earth, a home like theirs?
7690Anything more, gemman?"
7690Are you not too sanguine?
7690Are you satisfied?
7690At last she said slowly, and to Ardworth,--"Where is my son?
7690Black Care does not sit behind English posters, eh, my boy?"
7690Books, roses, music,--what are those trifles to a man thinking upon cent per cent?
7690Braddell?"
7690But Madame Dalibard was Helen''s relation: from what motive could she harbour an evil thought against her own niece?
7690But is he less happy?
7690But poison to whom?
7690But still, if those drops were poured into the healing draught for good, why so secretly?
7690By the by, Peg, what''s a come of your brat?''
7690Can the touch of the hand, scorched by the burning iron, feel pleasure in the softness of silk, or the light down of the cygnet''s plume?
7690Can you not write, and put off this Captain Greville for a few days,--until, indeed, I can find some excuse for terminating our visit?"
7690Could St. John sleep in that room?
7690Could it be meant for his benefactor?
7690Did you ever hear of a Mr. Walter Ardworth?"
7690Didst thou stand, me by thy side, amongst thy perjured household gods and talk of honour?
7690Do you really feel sure she will consent to so lowly a choice?"
7690Does he even know her?"
7690Doth the chalice, unspilt on the ground, not return to the hand?
7690Egotist to the last, she was henceforth dead to him,--why not to the world?
7690Fielden?"
7690For what purpose could the strange woman seek that room at night thus feloniously?
7690Fourthly, does he believe her to be honest and truthful?
7690From whom?"
7690Grant that the spy lived to tell his tale,--incoherent, improbable as the tale would be,--who would believe it?
7690Has he set another dog on the scent?
7690Have you set another man on the track with a view to bilk me of my promised fee?
7690How was the money to be gained?
7690I has a frind wots a h- uncle that''s ill: can you spare her, Bill, to attind him?''
7690Is he now with you at Laughton?
7690Is it the master''s?"
7690Is the life they have saved worth the prizing?
7690Is the sudden pang of the hangman more fearful than the doom which they breathe and bear?
7690Joplin?"
7690Joplin?"
7690May it not be St. John himself?
7690Meanwhile, what did Lucretia?
7690Now, is it not clear?
7690Or why not say simply that you want to meet a friend of yours who has just left your mother in Italy?
7690Secondly, is he aware of any mark on his arm,--if so, will he describe it?
7690Shall the soft eyes of thy wife not burn into thy heart, and shame turn love into loathing?
7690She had a child with her?"
7690Silent still?
7690Some old story of her indiscretion as a girl, of her uncle''s displeasure,--what matters now?"
7690Some paltry debt?"
7690The man must own that he was secreted behind the tapestry,--wherefore but to rob?
7690Thirdly, how long has he known the said Becky Carruthers?
7690This interloper who made me so jealous, who think you it is?
7690Thy love, can it linger yet?
7690Varney then, turning round for the first time, noticed Beck, and said roughly,--"What do you do here?
7690Was this strange generosity the act of mercy, the result of repentance?
7690What could I have done in this business without you?
7690What could she have poured, and with such stealthy caution, into the phial?
7690What have you learned?"
7690What observer of Nature knows not that peculiar sound which the ash gives forth in the blast?
7690What trap have you fallen into, foolish boy?
7690What were you saying about paying handsomely?"
7690When shall you hear from her?
7690Who would be guardian to a penniless infant?
7690Why not all go there, and seek my mother?
7690Why not?
7690Why should I?
7690Will you walk back with me to the house you have just left?
7690You know Mr. Varney, I suppose?"
7690You understand?"
7690You will not hint to her or to Helen what I am about to say?"
7690all the cares, all the sins, that those noiseless rooftops conceal?
7690deceiver, didst thou plume thyself, forsooth, on spotless reputation?
7690he muttered;"does Jason mistrust me?
7690how she larrupped''em,--she has a cruel heart, has n''t she, Bob?
5087A Jap, too?
5087A poison?
5087A psychanalysis?
5087A spangle from a sequin dress,he muttered to himself; then, turning to Miss Grey,"Did any one wear such a dress last night?"
5087A visitor?
5087A woman?
5087A wreck-- some spectacular stroke at the nations that are shipping the gold?
5087All of them?
5087And it''s this stuff that somebody has been putting into her tonic?
5087And that indicates?
5087And that is what was on the bullet?
5087And that?
5087And the shot?
5087And with not a word?
5087And you have put Granville Barnes out of the way, first?
5087And you, Miss Euston?
5087And?
5087Another example of a mind confused even on recent events?
5087Any servants?
5087Are you going to take it up?
5087Beriberi-- in New York?
5087But another patient might have known what Marchant was being treated for?
5087But how are you going to get in?
5087But how do you think it could have happened?
5087But what''s its use?
5087But who could have used it?
5087But you know good mushrooms when you see them?
5087But you succeeded finally?
5087But,I cut in,"the hand- bag-- the dinner-- what of them?"
5087Ca n''t anything be done to save my father in spite of himself?
5087Ca n''t you come and see Jose, Professor Kennedy? 5087 Can you make it out?
5087Could it be some one who is projecting a deadly wireless force which causes the explosions?
5087Could it have been a robbery?
5087Could it have been a word for them and half an hour for herself?
5087Could it have been my wife?
5087Could you see?
5087Did you ever see anything like that?
5087Did you get anything out of her?
5087Did you get it?
5087Did you hear a shot?
5087Did you know Captain Shirley?
5087Did you know that the Medical Society were interested in you and your clinic before the demonstration before Professor Gaines was arranged?
5087Did you notice anything else at the dinner-- no matter how trivial?
5087Did you observe anything peculiar?
5087Do you find anything?
5087Do you know yet how the thing was done?
5087Do you really fear that there is something wrong?
5087Do you recall any of his symptoms?
5087Do you recall anything peculiar about the mushrooms?
5087Do you remember anything that happened after that?
5087Do you suppose one of the servants could have been''planted''for the purpose of pulling it off?
5087Do you suppose that is part of Burr''s system, or did Miss Giles lighten her work by putting it into the tonic?
5087Do?
5087Doctor Aitken has never expressed any suspicion?
5087Doctor Chapelle?
5087Doctor Murray is his personal physician?
5087Does that look like agricultural machinery?
5087Done by wreckers, then?
5087Especially if they are women?
5087Favors at each place?
5087Had Captain Shirley any friends in the city?
5087Has Doctor Aitken been here?
5087Has Mr. Kennedy found out anything yet?
5087Has any one seen my daughter?
5087Has any one told you that Garretson''s car went down the river road, too?
5087Has anybody-- died?
5087Has anything happened here? 5087 Have it?
5087Have you any suspicion about when the robbery took place?
5087Have you discovered anything?
5087Have you done any investigating yourself?
5087Have you ever heard anything more that he did?
5087Have you ever heard of Teresa de Leon?
5087Have you found anything?
5087Have you found anything?
5087Have you found anything?
5087Have you found out anything?
5087Have you found out yet?
5087Have you made any attempt to examine it?
5087Have you seen anything-- er-- suspicious about this Kato?
5087Have you taken any other precautions now that you did n''t take before?
5087He will come?
5087How about the food?
5087How about the robbery?
5087How could they have been taken, do you think?
5087How did Mrs. Gaines become interested in the thing?
5087How did he die?
5087How did the fire start?
5087How did you first hear of it?
5087How did you get away from the watchman?
5087How do you account for his strange actions?
5087How do you suppose I''ll be able to get out there, now?
5087How has this machine been improved? 5087 How is she, anyway?"
5087How is that?
5087How is that?
5087How was it?
5087How was that?
5087I believe you have a patient, a Miss Virginia Blakeley?
5087I believe you were acquainted with Senior Barrios, who died to- night?
5087I may keep this?
5087I may look over the office?
5087I may take some of these samples to study myself?
5087I suppose there is no objection to my seeing Doctor Haynes?
5087I suppose you know that Senor Barrios is very seriously ill?
5087I suppose you never heard the story of the Antilles?
5087I suppose you''ve noticed over Miss Blakeley''s nose a red sore?
5087I think I have a prior claim there, have n''t I?
5087Illness-- robbery?
5087In what way?
5087Indeed?
5087Is Barrios any better?
5087Is anything missing from his room?
5087Is everybody daffy over those little islands? 5087 Is he any better?"
5087Is it a clue or a stall?
5087Is it all right?
5087Is it in my hands?
5087Is it possible that she can be in this revolutionary propaganda?
5087Is that Englishwoman a member of the cult?
5087Is there a place in town where I can get the films in this developed quickly?
5087Is there any one in the hotel whom you might suspect?
5087Is there anything more you wish to ask?
5087Is there still time to catch the last morning edition of the Star, Walter?
5087Is-- Lane-- hiring the men-- himself?
5087It''s a pretty ticklish piece of business, then?
5087It''s something like that you meant, I presume, when you called it a''phantom destroyer''a moment ago?
5087Jackson''s?
5087Just what do you mean?
5087Just what was it you overheard?
5087Know him? 5087 Korsakoff''s syndrome?"
5087Lane, may I install this thing in your telegraph- room outside?
5087Like carbon- monoxide poisoning?
5087Located in one of the best protected and most inaccessible parts of the body,Kennedy considered, slowly,"how could the pituitary be reached?
5087May I have your car to- night?
5087May I try something?
5087Message?
5087Might this present trouble be a recurrence of the old trouble?
5087Miss Blakeley? 5087 Mrs. Blakeley, may I trouble you to get that beauty mask which your daughter wore?"
5087No clue yet to my crank?
5087No one else has felt any ill effects from the supper, I suppose?
5087No one has been down on the wreck yet?
5087No question?
5087No, but I hope it''s something I can add to my report?
5087Not shot?
5087Nothing? 5087 Now that we''re here,"I whispered,"what can we do?"
5087Of twenty million dollars? 5087 Oh yes"--she recalled herself--"I suppose you know something of his gems?
5087Oh, I hope he will find something Wo n''t you go to him and tell him to hurry?
5087Oh, Mr. Kennedy, have you heard?
5087Or of who sent the telegram?
5087Perhaps some drug?
5087Perhaps?
5087Petromortis?
5087Queer about that Barnes case, is n''t it?
5087Quick-- what DO you mean?
5087Robbery?
5087Rodman-- can you-- forgive me?
5087Roger Cranston?
5087Sandoval had warned against this De Leon?
5087See the bands gradually fade?
5087Seems as if she was a good drawing- card for the house, does n''t it?
5087Shadowing the shadowers?
5087So,returned Chapelle, drawing back and placing his head on one side as he nodded it with each word,"you think I''ve spoiled her looks?
5087So?
5087Some one placed the wrong salt in there-- took out oxygen, added nitrogen, instead of removing carbon dioxide?
5087Some poisonous Amanita got mixed with the edible mushrooms?
5087That?
5087The planters are not putting in modern machinery, then?
5087Then Hampton Haynes has been here?
5087Then Wardlaw did n''t attend her himself?
5087Then how was he killed?
5087Then it was an accident?
5087Then one of the ramekins was poisoned?
5087Then she was not a patient?
5087Then that is how Traynor died?
5087Then that would mean that they might have been taken by any one, do n''t you see? 5087 Then there are other causes?"
5087Then this is really the second attack of the morbid sleep?
5087Then what is it for?
5087Then you know Mr. Sandoval also?
5087Then you made no effort to find out?
5087Then you think Doctor Wardlaw has it, too?
5087Then you think that some one present placed something in the tea?
5087Then you''ll go down to Nitropolis?
5087Then you''re going to desert us?
5087There was no one else in the kitchen while you prepared them?
5087They''ve called the new plant Nitropolis-- rather a neat name for a powder- works, do n''t you think?
5087To come here?
5087Was any one else here?
5087Was she committed by her husband?
5087Was there anything that might give you a hint of what had happened?
5087Well, doctor,demanded the detective as he entered,"what''s the verdict?"
5087Well,I exclaimed, as we passed through the dining- room,"what was all that?"
5087Were there candles?
5087Were you acquainted with a Captain Shirley?
5087What about that little bottle of keratin?
5087What are the beads?
5087What are the seeds?
5087What are the symptoms?
5087What are you doing?
5087What can this thing be?
5087What can you do?
5087What could she want?
5087What could we do, just two girls, all alone? 5087 What did Miss Hackstaff do?"
5087What did you do?
5087What did you think of her?
5087What do you know about him?
5087What do you make of it yourself?
5087What do you make of that Dolores incident?
5087What do you make of that?
5087What do you suppose it is?
5087What do you think of the spangle?
5087What do you think?
5087What else might there be?
5087What good will it do, Lewis?
5087What has happened? 5087 What has happened?"
5087What have you done?
5087What is Miss Belleville''s interest in Karatoff?
5087What is it you suspect?
5087What is it, Carl?
5087What is it-- for God''s sake?
5087What is it?
5087What is it?
5087What is it?
5087What is it?
5087What is it?
5087What is it?
5087What is it?
5087What is known about him?
5087What is that?
5087What is the trouble?
5087What made you turn in here?''
5087What makes you think he has been poisoned?
5087What makes you think it is beriberi, of all things?
5087What of him?
5087What shall we do next?
5087What sort of craft is this other?
5087What sort of place is it?
5087What was in it?
5087What was the matter? 5087 What''s henbane?"
5087What''s that? 5087 What''s that?"
5087What''s the big story here now?
5087What''s the big story?
5087What-- you here, Maude?
5087When did you receive it?
5087When does the next shipment start?
5087When is the demonstration?
5087Where are the others?
5087Where is my nail file-- and brush?
5087Where''s Gertrude?
5087Where?
5087Who are the others? 5087 Who else is there in the household?"
5087Who else was there?
5087Who is Karatoff, anyhow?
5087Who is she?
5087Who is the little manicure girl?
5087Who is this Julia Giles?
5087Who is this Kato?
5087Who was interested enough to plot this postponement of the wedding until the danger to the fortune was finally removed?
5087Who was she?
5087Who were in the supper- party?
5087Who were these agents sent over to wage this secret war at any cost?
5087Who?
5087Whose is it? 5087 Why do you fear for your sister and Mr. Everson?
5087Why not?
5087Why, do you know what I''ve discovered?
5087Why, what was that?
5087Why, what''s the trouble?
5087Why-- what is this?
5087Why?
5087Will Mr. Lane go with you?
5087Will she live?
5087Will you let me have one of the blood smears?
5087Would he like that, too?
5087Would you come out to the Key with me?
5087Would you like to go up there and see them?
5087You had done nothing that might have been dangerous?
5087You have a vacuum cleaner, I suppose?
5087You have engaged Professor Kennedy?
5087You have formed no theory of your own?
5087You have heard of a Dr. Carl Chapelle?
5087You have no idea what could have caused it?
5087You have no idea who it was?
5087You know her?
5087You know him?
5087You know him?
5087You never cared for her?
5087You prepared the mushrooms yourself?
5087You remember the paper I gave Mrs. Cranston when the excitement in the hall broke loose?
5087You remember,she cried, breathlessly,"you said that a jequirity bean was sent to Captain Shirley?"
5087You saw her?
5087You think there is danger, then?
5087You were all in the kitchen?
5087You will let me know-- if there is-- any hope?
5087You would like to get at the truth, if I promise to hold the story back?
5087You would?
5087You-- don''t think Doctor Chapelle had anything to do with it?
5087You-- you do not think it could be the mushrooms-- that have caused Mr. Mansfield''s illness, do you?
5087''Who took those letters?''
5087Above all, how was I, on the outside, to find out?
5087Above all, what had this to do with the mysterious phantom slayer that had wrecked so much of the works in less than a week?
5087Above all, what was it they had planned for the launching?
5087Above all, who was it?
5087And had Barnes really been the victim of an attack-- or of an accident?
5087And then?
5087Anthony?"
5087Anything new?
5087Are n''t the freckles gone?"
5087Are you ready, Whiting?"
5087As the music started up again, I heard her say,"Ca n''t we have just one more dance?"
5087But about whom?
5087But had Lewis, with a quick flash of genius, sought to cover up something, protect somebody?
5087But if the bit that I gave this fellow causes such distress, what would a larger quantity do?"
5087But the other?
5087But what could any one want with a yacht?"
5087But who knows how long that will last?
5087But who was it?
5087By whom do you suppose he really was sent?"
5087Ca n''t we DO something?"
5087Can not you get in to see me as a doctor or friend?
5087Carita Belleville, the dancer, you know?"
5087Could it be a signal of trouble?
5087Could it be that?"
5087Could it have been Hampton?
5087Could that be the scheme?
5087Could there be some latent jealousy?
5087Could this be a case of that sort?
5087Cranston?"
5087Did Gage know more about these mysterious happenings than appeared?
5087Did he expect to see the fast express cruiser, lurking like a corsair about the islands of the river?
5087Did he have some suspicion of Mrs. Anthony?
5087Did not this, I asked myself, indicate plainly enough that Leslie might be right in his suspicions of beriberi?
5087Did the newspapers ever do anything but harm to your poor dear father?
5087Did the same explanation shed any light on the mystery of the nautch- girl and the jequirity bean sent to Shirley?
5087Did they know more of this Mexican gun- running business than Marlowe had hinted at?
5087Do n''t you see it?"
5087Do n''t you see?
5087Do n''t you see?
5087Do n''t you suppose I could predict the nature of any report he would make?"
5087Do you think he was posing?"
5087Do you think we can get there in a car before it''s dark?"
5087Do you want me to tell you, young lady?"
5087Gaines?"
5087Grady?"
5087Had Chapelle ignorantly done something that would leave its scar forever?
5087Had I been finding food for suspicion because I was myself suspicious?
5087Had Jose been making love to another woman at the same time that he was engaged to Eulalie Sandoval?
5087Had Lane really been in it?
5087Had Mrs. Gaines expressed her own self-- or was it Karatoff-- or Marchant-- or Errol?
5087Had Mrs. Snedden been killed by the carbonic oxide?
5087Had Norma instinctively fled from his attentions?
5087Had he been posing before Kennedy, and were they really trying to put Mrs. Cranston out of the way?
5087Had he discovered something that it was inconvenient to know?
5087Had he done any real deep diving?"
5087Had he known that Leontine had been with Sydney on the deck?
5087Had his better nature yielded to his worse?
5087Had it anything to do with the dispute in the hotel which Kenmore had witnessed?
5087Had it anything to do with the"tonic"?
5087Had it been an accident, after all?
5087Had it been deliberately placed there, it flashed over me, in order to compromise Madeline Hargrave and divert suspicion from some one else?
5087Had it been done for the purpose of inflicting a more frightful wound if it struck the captain?
5087Had it been interest in Errol that had led her to visit the laboratory?
5087Had it been interest in Leontine or in the dining- room that had drawn him thither?
5087Had it been that I had distrusted the woman merely because I was suspicious of the type, both male and female?
5087Had it been the same person who had sent the single jequirity bean?
5087Had revenge or jealousy brought her to New York, or was she merely a tool in the hands of another?
5087Had she been overcome first and, in a stupor, been unable to move to save herself?
5087Had she misinterpreted his attentions to Mrs. Rogers?
5087Had some one again tampered with the apparatus?
5087Had some one been using her, and now was afraid of her and sought to get her out of the way for safety?
5087Had some one hoaxed him into a wild- goose chase, after all?
5087Had the party thought it out and were they now playing the game with the main chance in view?
5087Had we been getting too close on her trail, or had Mrs. Anthony been attacked?
5087Have you any idea?"
5087Having failed to stop the work, failed to kill Marlowe-- what was left?
5087How can I ever thank you for getting me out of it?"
5087How can I help you?"
5087How did she get there-- and why?
5087How do you feel?"
5087How does Shirley fit into this thing?"
5087How does it work?"
5087How had Shirley met his death, and why?
5087How is it, then?"
5087How?
5087I can not see how it could be due to poisoning, can you?"
5087I suppose it never occurred to the police that the rubber dagger might have covered up a peculiar poisoning?
5087If orders had been given for such secrecy by Barry Euston, how could my despatch do any good?
5087If she had sent it to him, was it as a threat?
5087If there was a plot and Barnes had been a victim, what was its nature?
5087Is Doctor Burr''s system better?"
5087Is Mrs. Wardlaw any better?"
5087Is he RIGHT?"
5087Is it polyneuritis of beriberi-- or something else?"
5087Is there anything new?"
5087Is there more still?"
5087Kennedy was evidently firing, but at what?
5087Kennedy?"
5087Killed by a rubber dagger?
5087Lane?"
5087Marbury?"
5087Marchant?"
5087Might not Kato have been forced or enticed into a scheme that promised a safe return and practically no chance of discovery?
5087My work is so far in advance of any that the conservative psychologists do that he would naturally feel hostile, would he not?"
5087Oh, Professor Kennedy, what is it?
5087Oh, ca n''t you take up the case and look into it?"
5087Oh, what shall I do?
5087Or did it mask some deeper, more sinister motive?
5087Or was he one of the few who were honest and careful?
5087Or was he really exercising some occult power?
5087Or was her own brother the murderer of Eulalie''s lover?
5087Or was it more than that?
5087Or was it weakness following the high mental tension of her own hypnotization?
5087Page?"
5087Perhaps you have heard of the Old Grove Amusement Park, which failed?
5087Perhaps-- but what was the game?
5087Rogers?"
5087Say, what do you think we are?
5087See?"
5087Should we run and desert the train for which we had dared so much?
5087Slowly the question was shaping in my mind, was it, as Karatoff would have us believe, an accident?
5087Snedden?"
5087Sprague, can you mount that on the plane?"
5087Terrible, was n''t it?
5087The point is, veratrine from what source?
5087The woman turned to him:"Suppose this news of the robbery is out?
5087Then how could it have occurred?
5087Then, scarcely waiting for her even to nod, he added:"What did he say?
5087Then, too, why had she been here at all?
5087Then, with an anxious glance at the rest of us,"Is your sister any better?"
5087Then, without suggesting that we were more than casually interested,"What does the Street think of it?"
5087They mentioned the name of Granville Barnes, treasurer of father''s company--""Is that so?"
5087Thomas?"
5087Thomas?"
5087To whom do these deadly germs point?
5087Traynor?"
5087Treasure?
5087Under the circumstances, might not his professional reputation be at stake?
5087Was Aitken suspiciously interested in the pretty nurse-- or was she suspiciously interested in him?
5087Was everything all right?
5087Was he jealous of Lane, or did his words have a deeper meaning?
5087Was he secretly working with them still?
5087Was he still employed by the insurance company?
5087Was he trying to estimate the relative popularity of the two in this strange group?
5087Was he working for two masters?
5087Was it Barnes?
5087Was it a case of gas poisoning?
5087Was it a suicide?
5087Was it a suspicion of which she had not told us?
5087Was it arteriosclerosis for which you were treating him?"
5087Was it because the quest seemed to be leading away from himself?
5087Was it connected with the rumors we had heard of gun- running to Mexico?
5087Was it fear or suspicion?
5087Was it fear, hate, love, jealousy?
5087Was it merely the unpleasant notoriety?
5087Was it possible that Sandoval had one of those Jekyll- Hyde natures which seem to be so common in some of us?
5087Was it possible?
5087Was it that consciously or unconsciously she was taking the slender dancer as her model?
5087Was it, in a sense, retribution?
5087Was n''t she competent?"
5087Was one of her lovers the murderer of Anitra''s brother?
5087Was she looking for Gage, I wondered?
5087Was she playing with Sydney, seeking to secure his influence to further her schemes?
5087Was she wrecked, at last, after all?
5087Was some one using a band of these crooks for ulterior purposes?
5087Was that a clever attempt at confession and avoidance on his part?
5087Was there a plot to frustrate Everson''s plans?
5087Was this another of that sort?
5087Was this such a case?
5087Were they playing a game against each other?
5087Were they working together, or were they really opposed?
5087What brings you out here at such an hour?"
5087What can you do now?"
5087What could be done?
5087What could be the purpose of her visit?
5087What could it mean?
5087What did it all mean and why should Mrs. Blakeley pay money to an old woman, a charity patient?
5087What did it all mean?
5087What did it all mean?
5087What did it mean, if anything?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did the treachery of one member of the expedition mean?
5087What did you find when you entered, sergeant?"
5087What difference could it have made if Lane had a free hand in managing the shipment of treasure for the company?
5087What do you mean?"
5087What else could they do with it?
5087What good would it do if, after hours, his cleverness might solve the cipher-- too late?
5087What gruesome mystery had been unveiled by the anonymous letter which had first excited our curiosity?
5087What if a hint like this got abroad among his rich clientele?
5087What is it all about?"
5087What letters?''
5087What of it and what of its secret sender?
5087What shall I do?"
5087What should I do?
5087What strange power could it be that we could not see or feel in broad daylight?
5087What takes you down there, Burke?"
5087What was back of it all?
5087What was it he was after?
5087What was it that Mrs. Blakeley so feared?
5087What was it that had made this beautiful woman such a wreck?
5087What was it?
5087What was it?
5087What was its purpose?
5087What was the cause?
5087What was the matter?
5087What was the motive back of this sinister murder that had been so carefully planned that no one would ever suspect a crime?
5087What was the part played by Carita Belleville?
5087What was the secret locked in her silent lips?
5087What was there in the motives that actuated them?
5087What were they?
5087What will happen?
5087What would she do next?
5087Where are they?
5087Where''s Kennedy?"
5087Which is it here?"
5087Which is it-- yes or no?"
5087Which might be using the other?
5087Who can tell?"
5087Who dum- dummed and poisoned the bullet?
5087Who else is stricken?"
5087Who had sent the anonymous telegram to Eulalie so soon after it had been evident that Kennedy had entered the case?
5087Who had shut her up?
5087Who was in it?
5087Who was it who had deserted, as I had heard over the wire?
5087Who was it?
5087Who was it?
5087Who was she, friend or foe?
5087Who was their agent?
5087Who, then, was their agent who had fired the shot?
5087Whose own fingers, in spite of antiseptics and manicures, point inexorably to a guilty self?"
5087Why Aitken''s solicitude in asserting that he was?
5087Why did he place them in the safe so soon, instead of wearing them the rest of the evening?"
5087Why had he so persistently sought her?
5087Why had it been done and where had the cultures come from?
5087Why had she followed him?
5087Why have they fled?
5087Why her anxiety to know whether Wardlaw himself was affected?
5087Why is it?
5087Why should it be hanging about?
5087Why was he watching Mrs. Rogers?
5087Why, do you want it?"
5087Will you wait here?"
5087Would she carry the secret with her, after all?
5087Would that suggest anything to you?"
5087Would the antitoxin work?
5087Would they never bring him up?
5087Would you like to come with me?
5087Would you mind stepping down around the bend in the hall?"
5087Yet how explain the apparent success with Cynthia?
5087You recall the brightness of her eyes?
5087You will pardon me if I do a little telephoning-- through the central office of the detective bureau?
5087what shall I do?"
5162''What is it?'' 5162 ''Who are you?
5162A messenger, eh? 5162 A three- sided dagger?"
5162A woman who understands herself and you and all the secret perils of the game we are both playing? 5162 Agatha Webb?
5162Agatha,said I,"why did you break with my brother James?
5162Ah, Frederick, do I find you here?
5162Amabel do this? 5162 And Batsy?"
5162And John Zabel, James Zabel?
5162And Sylvester Chubb?
5162And how came you to find me here?
5162And is it gone?
5162And now, Sweetwater, whose is the hand that buried this treasure? 5162 And since?"
5162And the money? 5162 And under them?"
5162And where is that bill now?
5162And why does she have every fellow in the room dangling after her, then?
5162And will time show who killed Batsy?
5162And you did not catch the least glimpse of the man''s face or figure?
5162And you need this money for a start?
5162And you, Philemon?
5162And you?
5162Any other marks of blood below stairs?
5162Are they locked?
5162Are those the only blank places in the sacred book? 5162 Are you bound for the city of destruction?"
5162Are you going?
5162Are you ready for another journey?
5162Are you ready to wager that that is all there is to it?
5162Are you sure of yourself?
5162Asleep?
5162Batsy''s death, for instance?
5162Been to the village this morning?
5162But what ails him? 5162 But who could have believed it of men who were once so prosperous?
5162But why do you think her death was due to her having money?
5162But why murder when he could have had his loaf for the asking?
5162But you''ll let me stay around here?
5162By you?
5162Can it be possible he is trying to blind himself to the fact that his son Frederick wishes to marry this girl?
5162Can you keep such a secret from him? 5162 Confess?"
5162Could it have been a knife or an old- fashioned dagger?
5162Could it have been hunger?
5162Did n''t he come back for the change?
5162Did n''t you expect THIS?
5162Did n''t you know that that poor woman, that wretchedly murdered, most unhappy woman, whose death the whole town mourns, had made you her heir? 5162 Did not your feet as well as your hands pass through the blood on the grass?"
5162Did you glance up at these windows in passing?
5162Did you hear the words he was muttering as he went by?
5162Did you see the figure of the man who brushed by you in the wood? 5162 Did you see this man''s face?"
5162Do I look like a go- between for crooks?
5162Do n''t want another job?
5162Do n''t you find anything?
5162Do n''t you know that it is eleven o''clock and that my father requires the house to be closed at that hour?
5162Do you consider me a child? 5162 Do you know what I think about it?"
5162Do you know,said he,"that I like your looks?
5162Do you love me? 5162 Do you mean it?"
5162Do you mind going up to Boston?
5162Do you think her foresight went so far as to provide herself with a dagger ostensibly belonging to one of these brothers? 5162 Do you think,"asked a second daughter with becoming hesitation,"that he had anything to do with her death?
5162Does he call this a complete message?
5162Does he mean to do differently?
5162Father,faltered the youth,"may I have a few words with you?"
5162Fear?
5162Foundered? 5162 Frederick?"
5162Hanging to her neck, then, by a string?
5162Has she done this? 5162 Has there been a butcher here?"
5162Have any of you seen any paper lying about here?
5162Have you any news?
5162Have you brought it with you?
5162Have you picked up all that are to be found in this room?
5162Have you really seen this money and is it concealed in this forest?
5162His voice, then? 5162 How came she by the key, then?"
5162How came that flower on the scene of the murder?
5162How did Amabel Page come by a dagger marked with the Zabel initials?
5162How did you get in? 5162 How do you know that it was suicide John attempted?"
5162How was she killed, then?
5162How were the shades when you broke into the house this morning?
5162How were you able to discern a stain so nearly imperceptible?
5162I wonder if she would have worshipped the ground under your feet, as she did that under Agatha''s?
5162If he was the one to use the dagger against her, where is the dagger? 5162 If the pressure of one finger is so unbearable to your sensitive nerves, how will you relish the weight of my whole hand?"
5162Imperceptible? 5162 Innocent,"he repeated,"innocent?"
5162Is anything the matter, dear?
5162Is it as well done as the one you tried to pass off on Brady?
5162Is it true that he''s gone clean out of his head since her death?
5162Is my presence here undesirable?
5162Is my touch so burdensome?
5162Is n''t there a roll of bills in that hole?
5162Is there anyone else who can be suspected of this crime?
5162Is this Miss Page?
5162Is this all?
5162John Barker, Thomas Elder, Timothy Sinn?
5162John,she asked,--she was under violent self- restraint,--"why do you come now?"
5162Killed''em-- she?
5162Lately, or before-- You say they are old; how old?
5162Like my housekeeper''s niece to take the place in this house once occupied by Marietta Sutherland? 5162 May I ask the privilege of going alone?"
5162May I go?
5162Me?
5162Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Webb, what are you doing?
5162Nine hundred and fifty?
5162No; what were they? 5162 Not one of Campbell''s pick- ups, surely?"
5162Nothing?
5162Now what does that mean? 5162 Now, what do you see?"
5162Oh, you want pay? 5162 Only an old man sitting at a table and--"Why did she pause, and why did she cover up that pause with a wholly inconsequential sentence?
5162Or do I look simply like a woman?
5162Perfume?
5162Philemon, what has become of your guests? 5162 Philemon, where is your wife?
5162Shall I tell you what I make out of it?
5162Shall we let her go for the present?
5162She at this place of death? 5162 She was found here, on this lounge, in the same position in which we see her now?"
5162She? 5162 So you are in no position to identify him?"
5162So you do n''t know how her money has been left?
5162Something about the murder which has taken place?
5162Supple as a willow twig, eh?
5162Tell me, or---"Or what?
5162This? 5162 Was the young woman down yonder present when Judy told this story?"
5162Wattles, I was to bring it to you to- morrow, or was it the next day? 5162 Wattles,"--Frederick''s tone was broken, almost unintelligible,--"what do you mean by your allusion to last night?
5162Well, Sweetwater, any news, eh?
5162Well,asked the coroner, as he came quietly in and closed the door behind him,"what''s your opinion?"
5162Well?
5162Were the shades up?
5162What are you doing here, and who let you in? 5162 What are you doing here?"
5162What are you doing?
5162What course? 5162 What depths?
5162What did you see over the grave of the child who was killed in her arms by lightning?
5162What difference does that make when it is n''t her features you notice, but herself?
5162What do I hope?
5162What do you allude to in speaking of last night? 5162 What do you find there?"
5162What do you think the object was you saw glittering in his hand?
5162What fellow is this?
5162What have I got to do with it?
5162What have they got in their heads?
5162What if we find them gone to bed?
5162What is it?
5162What is it?
5162What is your name? 5162 What made Philemon carry off the prize?
5162What money? 5162 What name are you shouting out there?"
5162What news, Jake? 5162 What papers were those you gave into Agnes Halliday''s keeping?
5162What ship?
5162What should I confess? 5162 What''s your name?"
5162When did you know of this will?
5162When does the train start?
5162When were these letters written?
5162Where does this key belong?
5162Where have you hidden my money?
5162Where is the letter he was writing?
5162Where was the body of Mrs. Webb lying when you came in?
5162Who are you, I say, and what can you do to me--?
5162Who could have the daring or the heart to kill HER?
5162Who is Edward Hope?
5162Who killed her? 5162 Who told you it was either of these men?"
5162Who was that?
5162Who''s that?
5162Why do you ask that? 5162 Why do you say you will soon be in a position to repay me?
5162Why do you speak like that?
5162Why might not the dagger have fallen from James''s hand in an effort to kill his brother?
5162Why should n''t we meet? 5162 Why, Agnes,"cried her mother,"what is the matter?"
5162Why, man, what do you fear? 5162 Why, who''s that?"
5162Will God remember my words, or will He forget? 5162 Will my little girl think me very curious and very impertinent if I ask her what my son Frederick was saying when I came into the room?"
5162Will you be so good as to let me sit down in your parlour for a few minutes?
5162Wo n''t they?
5162Wo n''t you help me?
5162Would n''t I, sir?
5162Would you?
5162Yet you have thought of someone he reminded you of?
5162Yet you will run that risk?
5162You have seen the money? 5162 You in that house?"
5162You saw him; you can tell who this man was?
5162You, Sweetwater? 5162 You?
5162Your father''s signature?
5162''Can we not afford now,''he ventured,''a little show of luxury, or at least a ribbon or so for this beautiful throat of yours?''
5162''How came you to read the memorandum?''
5162''How much do you think there is in here?
5162''John,''he said, without any preamble or preparation,''where are the five thousand dollars you kept back from Mr. Gilchrist?
5162''Shall I make you out a receipt?''
5162''What has shaken you up so?''
5162''Who''s there and what do you want?''
5162A few hundred dollars but these he could have got from me, and did, but--"Why did the wretched father stop?
5162A hand had been laid on his arm and an insinuating voice was murmuring in his ear:"Do you mind if I go with you?
5162Again, would she have been so careless with a flower she knew to be identified with herself?
5162Agatha, will you wear silk to my funeral?"
5162Ah, when should he enter those four walls again, and when should he see the old mother?
5162Am I so hard to talk to that the words will not leave your lips?"
5162Amabel Page left a merry dance at midnight and stole away into the Sutherland garden in her party dress and slippers-- why?
5162And Frederick''s manner?
5162And Frederick?
5162And Frederick?
5162And is that all you have to tell us?"
5162And leading Mr. Sutherland aside, he whispered:"What is this you say about money?
5162And not being Agatha Gilchrist, should I have your love?
5162And she?
5162And the money so deftly reburied by her?
5162And then, have you forgotten that when Mr. Crane met the old man at Mrs. Webb''s gateway he saw in his hand something that glistened?
5162And was Miss Halliday with you?"
5162And was not standing by the table?
5162And what did I see there?"
5162And what do you want, Sweetwater?"
5162And where is it?
5162And where was Sweetwater, that he could not be found on the shore or on the ship?
5162And who are you?"
5162Anything which we could not have more safely, not to say discreetly, harboured in our own house?"
5162Are they better off than they seem?"
5162Are you drunk?"
5162Are you going on a message now?"
5162Are you mad, my child?"
5162Are you searching for flowers in the woods, and is that valise you carry the receptacle in which you hope to put your botanical specimens?"
5162Are you sick?"
5162Are you sure he''s the fellow we fear?"
5162Are you sure that one of them has gnawed this bread?
5162As Sweetwater was going out two gentlemen came in, one of whom said to the other in passing:"Sick, do you say?
5162As he moved down the hall the form of a man darkened the doorway and he heard an anxious voice exclaim:"Ah, Mr. Fenton, is that you?
5162As he went, he asked himself two questions: Could he fail to deliver the package according to instructions, and yet earn his money?
5162BOOK II THE MAN OF NO REPUTATION XXI SWEETWATER REASONS And what of Sweetwater, in whose thoughts and actions the interest now centres?
5162Better than sleep, eh?
5162But after what I have seen, what am I to think?
5162But could he suppress it?
5162But how about the flower whose presence on the scene of guilt she challenges me to explain?
5162But how did it come there?
5162But how?
5162But what can they have to do with the murder?
5162But what little girl have you there?"
5162But what mischief?
5162But who is this?"
5162Can I ever hope to make you realise her look, or comprehend the pang of utter self- abasement with which I succumbed before it?
5162Can any explanation make her other than accessory to a crime on whose fruits she lays her hand in a way tending solely to concealment?
5162Can it be one of those two passengers you see on the forward deck, there?"
5162Can the tiger snarl one moment and fawn the next?
5162Can you explain this, or, rather, will you?"
5162Can you find the key to the other drawer?"
5162Can you imagine me dressed in rich brocade, sitting in the midst of Washington''s choicest citizens and exchanging sallies with senators and judges?
5162Can you tell me where he is?"
5162Coroner?"
5162Could I expect anything different?
5162Could Philemon once have told why?
5162Could he have expected guests?"
5162Could he not see the matter demanded extraordinary skill and judgment?"
5162Could he see that guilty wad of bills lying on my breast?
5162Could this ungainly fellow have once loved and been disdained by this bewitching piece of unreliability?
5162Crane?"
5162Crisp, fresh bills, Loton?"
5162DEAR JAMES: Why must I write?
5162Death, then, was not instantaneous?"
5162Devilish subtle, eh?
5162Did I think I could break the spell of fate or providence by giving birth to my last darling among strangers?
5162Did any of you gentlemen, when you came into this room, detect the faintest odour of any kind of perfume?"
5162Did anyone speak?"
5162Did he know whom Sweetwater sought, and was he suffering as much or more than himself from the uncertainty and fearful possibilities of the moment?
5162Did he recall the circumstances under which Frederick had obtained these last hundreds from him?
5162Did she regard it as a compliment?
5162Did you draw that up, Harvey?"
5162Did you ever hear anyone say?"
5162Did you realise the awful woe from which my commonplace words sprang?
5162Did you take it, dear?
5162Did you think any other words than yours would satisfy me, or that I could believe even him when he accused you of a base and dishonest act?
5162Did you wonder at the strange woman who stopped you?
5162Do I look like a babbling infant, Frederick?"
5162Do n''t you know she had six children once, and that she killed every one of them?"
5162Do n''t you see I''m hurt?
5162Do n''t you see that he begins to look like another man?"
5162Do n''t you think the time has come to remember me?"
5162Do these words, this action of hers, seem incredible to you, sirs?
5162Do you consider Miss Page generous enough to give him that money?"
5162Do you know a man good enough or a woman sufficiently tender?
5162Do you know what I am doing here?"
5162Do you not realise that such words only make me the more anxious to see old Portchester again?
5162Do you object to flowers?
5162Do you quarrel with this necessity?
5162Do you suppose they alluded to that one?"
5162Do you think I should know my mind without any such test?
5162Do you think she was so weary of her life''s long struggle that she hailed any release from it, even that of violence?"
5162Do you want to know who that master is?
5162Do you want your message delivered to- day?"
5162Do you wish me to tell these gentlemen why?"
5162Do you wish to know what_ I_ think of the connection between these two great tragedies?"
5162Do you?"
5162Does it look, then, as if that money was in his possession when he left Mrs. Webb''s house?
5162Does not Mr. Halliday consider this right?
5162Does that look like innocence or does it look like guilt?"
5162Does this argue my speedy return?
5162Else why did you shudder away from me, and to my passionate appeal reply with this one short phrase:"Your father will explain"?
5162Father"he hesitated before he spoke the word, but he spoke it firmly at last,--"am I right in thinking you would not like Miss Page for a daughter?"
5162Fenton?"
5162For the sake of that touch shall I give up the grandeur and charm of this broad life?
5162For what had been his reasons for charging Amabel herself with the guilt of a crime she only professed to have been a partial witness to?
5162Frederick, were I to tell you the truth about your parentage, would the shock of such an unexpected revelation make a man of you?
5162From whose lips did it come?
5162Gentlemen, have you anything to say in contradiction to these various suppositions?"
5162Haberstow''s?
5162Had he, Sweetwater, not observed certain telltale moments in his late behaviour that required a deeper explanation even than this?
5162Had she any suspicion of the awful doubts which were so deeply agitating himself that night?
5162Had she, in spite of appearances, any considerable amount?
5162Had there been anything in his former life or in his conduct since the murder to give the lie to these heavy doubts against him?
5162Had there been such a necessity?
5162Have I been sent on a fool''s chase after all?"
5162Have I but added another sin to my account and brought a worse vengeance on myself than that of seeing you die in your early infancy?
5162Have they forgotten him?
5162Have you anything to say against these simple deductions?"
5162Have you found them?"
5162Have you that flower about you, Abel?"
5162Have you these qualities, my friend?
5162He found it here, but how--""Found it here?
5162He had accomplished this, and now was he to complain because in doing so he was likely to go hungry for a day or two?
5162He is n''t dead?"
5162He loves but doubts her, as who could help doing after the story she told us day before yesterday?
5162He may even-- Ah, you would try that game, would you?"
5162His good looks?"
5162Home in time to see the pretty Amabel arrested?"
5162How about the blood there, then?"
5162How avoid a consequence he found himself absolutely unable to face?
5162How can you?"
5162How could he meet her pure gaze?
5162How could that be?
5162How do I know this?
5162How do I know this?
5162How do you account for that?''
5162How do you know that?"
5162How do you know what is or is not in the letter I gave you?"
5162How else account for the resignation with which she evidently met her death?
5162How had she borne his sudden departure?
5162How should I?"
5162I can hear his voice, ca n''t you?
5162I did not tell you this last night for fear of weakening under your entreaties, or should I say commands?
5162I was listening to them, but I did not take in much of what they were saying till I heard behind me an irascible voice exclaiming:''You laugh, do you?
5162I wonder if you would laugh so easily if you knew that these two poor old men have n''t had a decent meal in a fortnight?''
5162I wonder where she got it?"
5162I wonder who is going to get the benefit of it?"
5162I--""Well?
5162Is Agatha Webb hurt?"
5162Is he hurt too?"
5162Is n''t there some complication here?''
5162Is not that so, gentlemen?"
5162Is the town under a curse?"
5162Is there any doubt about its being the same?"
5162Is there anyone here ready to accompany me in search of it?
5162It was simply,"Well?"
5162It was this:"Shall it be to- night?"
5162Knapp seemed to agree with him, but Mr. Courtney, following his one idea, pressed his former question, saying:"Was it an old man''s step?"
5162Knapp?"
5162Loss of blood, eh?
5162Miss Page, how came that orchid, which I am told you wore in your hair at the dance, to be found lying near the hem of Batsy''s skirts?
5162Mr. Frederick Sutherland, will you take the stand?"
5162My boy, my boy, do you feel the lack of your own mother''s vigour?
5162My idea on the subject is---""Would you be so kind as not to give utterance to your ideas until I have been able to form some for myself?"
5162My sins?
5162New money?
5162No, no, what grown mind could take that in, least of all a child''s?
5162No; Amabel might laugh at him, or he might fancy she did, while struggling in the midst of rapidly engulfing waters, but would she laugh at him now?
5162Now what was that, if not this dagger?"
5162Now where was Miss Page during those two long hours?
5162Now, what are your instructions?"
5162Of what?
5162Oh, why did I leave you and come to this great Boston where I have no friend but Mrs. Sutherland?
5162Only who was Jonathan Briggs, and how was he to earn a living under these unexpected conditions?
5162Only, would it not be better for Mr. Sutherland if he should fail and drop away into the yawning chasms of the unknown world beneath?
5162Or was it his fortitude that was being tried?
5162Philemon, Philemon, was I mad?
5162Shall I have to buy other clothes?"
5162Shall I post that letter for you?''
5162Shall I show how?"
5162Shall I tell you about it?
5162Shall I tell you the wretched story, my girl?
5162Shall we sing out to him?"
5162Should we not be able to find it somewhere about the premises?"
5162Silently Dr. Talbot took it, while Mr. Fenton, with a shrewd look, asked:"What reasons have you for calling this mysterious customer old?
5162Sirs, what did you make out of this?"
5162Such are the freaks of fortune; or should I say, the dealings of an inscrutable Providence?
5162Suddenly he cried:"How do you know all this?
5162Sutherland?"
5162Sweetwater?"
5162Talbot?"
5162Talbot?"
5162Talbot?"
5162Temper such as mine OUGHT to surprise you, yet would I be Agatha Gilchrist without it?
5162That affair of the packet, now, was it or was it not serious, and would he ever know what it meant or how it turned out?
5162That he would be quiet, also, and not speak of what he had seen?
5162The Hesper?"
5162The absurdity of this conclusion struck him, however, as he reasoned:"Why, then, should he have paid my fare?
5162The nurse who cared for it is gone, and who else would know that little face but me?
5162Then Mr. Courtney said:"How came you to have the handling of the money taken from Agatha Webb''s private drawer?"
5162Then, before Frederick could speak:"I have merely saved you a trip to Boston; why so much anger, friend?
5162Then, with a quick glance up at the window,"Would you like to earn that money?"
5162This afternoon, say, after I have had a certain interview with-- What, are they setting sails on the Hesper already?"
5162To keep himself from what he feared might prove a self- betrayal, he faltered out in very evident dismay:"What is the matter?
5162To obey him, Philemon has kept silent, while I-- Agatha, what are you doing?
5162To what do you ascribe it, Agnes?"
5162To whose guardianship can we entrust it?
5162Was Mr. Orr conscious, and did he give it to you himself?''
5162Was his mother well?
5162Was his son personally interested in this attempt of the amateur detective?
5162Was it Amabel who spoke?
5162Was it a natural cry or an easily explainable one?
5162Was it a new danger he was bringing him?
5162Was it either of these you see written here?"
5162Was it her voice that was thus murmuring his name?
5162Was it money only that you wanted, Frederick?
5162Was it that of an honest man simply shocked by the suspicions which had fallen upon the woman he loved?
5162Was it that of the old man you saw on the doorstep?"
5162Was it the discovery that such a motive existed which had so aged this man in the last twelve hours?
5162Was it the last treasure he possessed?
5162Was the sheet so yellowed and so seamed because it had been worn on his breast and folded and unfolded so often?
5162Was the sigh which was Frederick''s only answer one of relief?
5162Was this fate?
5162Webb?"
5162Well?"
5162Were demons a reality, then?
5162What about the money?"
5162What can he want here?"
5162What could it mean?
5162What did I tell you?
5162What did it mean?
5162What did they die of?
5162What difference would it have made?"
5162What do I mean and how was it all?
5162What do you mean by that?"
5162What does it mean?"
5162What does she expect to see?
5162What does that argue, dear friend?
5162What good will a receipt do me?''
5162What had got into the fellow?
5162What had happened?
5162What had the young man meant by this emphatic repetition of his former suggestion?
5162What has come over the lad?"
5162What if I do n''t?"
5162What is it, father?
5162What is the occasion of it?
5162What is the truth?
5162What shall we do, then, with this little son?
5162What was I to her that she should will me her fortune?"
5162What was he to do then?
5162What was it?
5162What was the matter?
5162What will happen next?
5162What would she think had befallen him, and how long would he have to wait before he could send her word of his safety?
5162What''s the rumpus now?"
5162What''s the word?"
5162When did you go to the woods, Frederick?
5162When shall I have the pleasure of seeing you in my new home?"
5162When they were near her she thrust one hand from under her cloak, and pointing to the grass at her feet, said quietly:"See this?"
5162When we stood heart to heart under the elm tree( was it only last night?)
5162Whence did you expect to receive the money with which to repay me?
5162Whence had come this spar in his desperate need?
5162Where are they, you incarnate fiend?"
5162Where are you going?"
5162Where is Frederick?"
5162Where shall I find you during that time?"
5162Where was that?
5162Which of my men was weak enough to let you pass, against my express instructions?"
5162Which of them do you mean, and why do you think that either John or James Zabel killed Agatha Webb?"
5162Who are you?"
5162Who are you?"
5162Who killed her?"
5162Who was this person who came in contact with you so violently?
5162Who would take a young girl there?"
5162Who''s killed?
5162Why am I not content with the memory of last night?
5162Why break up this second match?"
5162Why did you fail to give the alarm when you re- entered my house after being witness to this double tragedy?"
5162Why do n''t you find it so too?
5162Why do you fall over a man like that?
5162Why do you stop?
5162Why does he sit crouched against the table?
5162Why not give them to Hattie Weller?
5162Why should he send us such a man?
5162Why should she?
5162Why, sir, what''s the matter?
5162Why, what has this young lady got to do with a flower dropped by Batsy?"
5162Why?
5162Why?
5162Why?
5162Why?
5162Will it not have to be proffered, then, by other hands than those of AGATHA GILCHRIST?
5162Will someone bring the lantern?"
5162Will the day ever come when I can?
5162Will you accompany me to his office to- morrow?
5162With such feelings, what should she say to these men; how conduct herself under questions which would be much more searching now than before?
5162Would I come there and get it?
5162XXVII THE ADVENTURE OF THE SCRAP OF PAPER AND THE THREE WORDS"What are you trying to do?
5162XXVIII"WHO ARE YOU?"
5162YOU dishonest?
5162Yet how could I hope to lure her down- stairs without noise?
5162Yet they were surprised at his first question:"Who is the young woman standing outside there, the only one in the yard?"
5162You are satisfied"--here he addressed himself to Knapp--"that the blow which killed Agatha Webb was struck by this respectable old man?"
5162You change colour, look ill, what is there in that paper?"
5162You know Boston?"
5162You know where it is?"
5162You say they are both dead-- both?"
5162You were gone-- how long?
5162You will leave them with Agnes, sir?"
5162and why?
5162are n''t you going to have them?
5162had she not set the day and the hour?
5162he asked,--"the gentleman who ran against a man coming out of Mrs. Webb''s house last night?"
5162she?
5162think I can endure everything from you because you are a woman?
5162was her sole retort;"what are you doing here?
5162was not my love enough, that you should want my father''s money too?
5162what am I to do?
5162what do you find there?"
5162where did you get that?"
5162why had he questioned her?
5149A cat?
5149A plant?
5149Afraid of him-- why?
5149And Jameson, too? 5149 And Mr. Lockwood, who is he?"
5149And Professor Kennedy?
5149And did she notice it?
5149And the curse?
5149And these attacks on you-- this cigarette business-- how do you explain that,asked Craig,"if you have n''t the dagger?"
5149And you believe what HE says, too?
5149And you did n''t care, as long as he had it,added Craig, then, turning to the de Moches,"And what is your tale?"
5149And you think that may have something to do with the case?
5149And you?
5149And?
5149Another car?
5149Any news of Inez?
5149Anything else?
5149Anything from Burke yet?
5149Are you all right now, old man?
5149Are you going up toward the University?
5149Are you hurt?
5149Are you quite sure you are able to stand the strain of this interview?
5149Are you ready, Walter?
5149Are you ready?
5149Are you sure that he knew nothing about it before?
5149Broken?
5149But did he say anything, has he done anything?
5149But do n''t you suppose they know it?
5149But do you think she was going to accept as truth what you told her? 5149 But is n''t it dangerous?"
5149But what has that to do with the evil eye?
5149But where is she now-- where is he? 5149 But who could it have been?"
5149But whom does it mean?
5149Ca n''t they tell it?
5149Ca n''t you call him up again?
5149Can they hear us?
5149Can we not expect you?
5149Can you make anything out of that?
5149Chester-- is that you?
5149Could he have been made insane, do you think?
5149De Moche-- with her, now?
5149Did Lockwood or Mendoza know about the dagger and its importance?
5149Did anything happen after I left?
5149Did he have a visit from one of his detectives?
5149Did he have a visit from one of his detectives?
5149Did he tell her that?
5149Did he tell you any more than he told us?
5149Did n''t that satisfy you?
5149Did you get them?
5149Did you see any ladies?
5149Do n''t you think we might have the door ajar a little?
5149Do n''t you think you ought to preserve the marks?
5149Do n''t you want more light?
5149Do you know Senora de Moche well?
5149Do you know anything more about these men, Lockwood and de Moche?
5149Do you know him? 5149 Do you mind telling me whose feet made these prints?"
5149Do you suppose that woman could be using Whitney for some purpose?
5149Do you want me to tell you the truth?
5149Do you want to answer it?
5149Do?
5149Does Whitney know about this-- or Lockwood?
5149Does n''t Mr. Lockwood count?
5149Doped?
5149Great heavens, you do n''t mean to say that they went over that?
5149Had your father any enemies who might desire his death?
5149Has anything else happened?
5149Has anything happened?
5149Have they found her?
5149Have you any idea who it could be?
5149Have you any idea who might have an object in stealing the dagger?
5149Have you any recollection of what the inscriptions on it said?
5149Have you asked my mother?
5149Have you found any one who saw her?
5149Have you found anything?
5149Have you found out anything about the poison?
5149Have you heard anything from him?
5149Have you heard anything of a report that the dagger has been found?
5149Have you no suspicions of what became of it and who took it?
5149Have you or any one you know ever sought to discover its secret and search it out?
5149Have you seen Whitney since I had the break with him?
5149He never told you of it?
5149Hello, is Mr. Whitney there?
5149Hello, is that you, Kennedy? 5149 Hello, is this Professor Kennedy?"
5149Hello, what''s new?
5149How about the Senora''s eyes? 5149 How could you, a stranger, know?"
5149How do you feel after your thrilling experience?
5149How''s that?
5149How''s that?
5149How-- what do you mean?
5149I believe you are acquainted with Mr. de Moche, Professor Norton?
5149I do n''t know whether you have noticed it,began Craig,"but I wonder how you feel?"
5149I may ask Professor Kennedy, too?
5149I suppose I may count on your help as the case develops?
5149I suppose Jameson has already told you that I called you up last night-- and what I said?
5149I suppose you know that the old Chimu tribes in the north were the wealthiest at the time of the coming of the Spaniards?
5149I suppose you realize what this means?
5149I suppose you suspected all along that the dagger had something to do with the Gold of the Gods, did you not?
5149I''ve got to go out on a murder case--"An interesting case?
5149I? 5149 If some one has the secret,"he cried hastily,"who knows when and on whom next he may employ it?"
5149If you had asked where Whitney was, I could have understood, but--"Well, where is he?
5149Imply?
5149Indeed?
5149Inez?
5149Is Kennedy in-- oh, he has n''t come back yet?
5149Is Professor Kennedy here?
5149Is either 823 or 827 vacant?
5149Is everything all right?
5149Is he at the Prince Edward Albert?
5149Is that so?
5149Is there a road leading off before you get to the house?
5149Is there any message I can take?
5149Is there any special thing you want to find out?
5149Is there any trace of Inez?
5149It was n''t the maid?
5149It was something about Norton, was n''t it?
5149It was you, I believe, Mr. Lockwood, who found Senor Mendoza last night?
5149It''s as noticeable as that?
5149Just how did you get possession of the dagger?
5149Just what are Mr. Lockwood''s relations with him-- and yours?
5149Kennedy, how did you ever think of such a thing?
5149Kennedy,appealed Lockwood at last, as I hung up the receiver,"will you listen to my story?"
5149Let me see,continued Whitney,"your concessions are all about here, in the north, are n''t they?"
5149Lockwood-- can''t you recognize his voice? 5149 Lockwood?"
5149May I have a cigarette out of that case over there?
5149Mr. Lockwood and Senor Mendoza had some joint interests in the country, too, did n''t they?
5149My God,he exclaimed,"tell me-- she isn''t-- hurt, is she?
5149Nitrous oxide?
5149No bottle, no glass? 5149 No more anonymous letters, I hope?"
5149No one has ever stumbled on the secret?
5149No-- who is this?
5149None of you have seen Whitney here?
5149Not another trace?
5149Nothing else is gone?
5149Oh, Professor Kennedy,she cried finally,"ca n''t you see it?
5149Oh, by the way, any word of Norton?
5149Oh, why did her father ever bring her here to this land of danger?
5149Other warnings?
5149Perhaps it may have been sent to divert suspicion-- who can tell?
5149Professor Kennedy?
5149Say,he ejaculated,"it was Norton brought you into this case, was n''t it?"
5149Senorita,he said finally, in a voice that was deep and thrilling with feeling,"have I ever been other than a friend to you?
5149Shall I send it by a messenger?
5149She thinks it referred to you, then?
5149So-- you''re another rival, are you?
5149Speaking of weapons,broke in Kennedy,"you have had no further idea of why the dagger might have been taken?"
5149Take these gentlemen as far as Smith''s corner, will you?
5149Tell me, Professor Kennedy,she cried, her hands clasped before her in frantic appeal,"tell me-- it is n''t true-- is it?
5149Tell me,urged Kennedy,"how did it happen?
5149The point is,cut in Craig, interrupting,"who was the mysterious visitor to Mendoza the night of his murder?"
5149The weed of madness?
5149Then he might have known?
5149Then how came you here?
5149Then it is pure tradition on which Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Whitney depend in their search for the treasure?
5149Then that was what was the matter?
5149Then what has happened that makes you use the oxygen?
5149Then who has it?
5149Then you fear that in some way she may be connected with these strange changes?
5149Then you have thought of something?
5149Then you know the secret of the hiding- place of the treasure?
5149Then you were listening while I was talking to Professor Norton?
5149Then you-- you believe what he says?
5149Then,he exclaimed, rising,"you must know of the ruins of Chan- Chan, of Chima-- those wonderful places?"
5149Want any help?
5149Was he alone?
5149Was it about anything I should know?
5149Well, have you found out anything more?
5149Well, of all things, what do you think of that?
5149Well, what do you think of that?
5149Well, where are the gold and silver of the conquistadores? 5149 Well,"I remarked, as we walked along,"what do you think it is-- a romance or a simple crime- hunt?"
5149Well,asked Kennedy, pausing with a test- tube poised over a Bunsen burner,"have you found anything yet?
5149Well,he remarked, as we seated ourselves,"how did you come out in your tete- a- tete?"
5149What about it?
5149What are they?
5149What are you doing?
5149What are you going to do-- give it up?
5149What are you going to do?
5149What can we do?
5149What did Lockwood say about Norton?
5149What did he say about me?
5149What did he say?
5149What did he say?
5149What did you find?
5149What did you think of him then?
5149What do you attribute it to?
5149What do you know about that fellow Norton, up at your place?
5149What do you make out of it?
5149What do you mean, man? 5149 What do you suppose is the matter?"
5149What do you think of Lockwood?
5149What do you think of her?
5149What does it mean to you?
5149What does it mean?
5149What has Whitney been doing?
5149What has happened?
5149What has she done to make you fear it?
5149What have you found?
5149What is it?
5149What is it?
5149What is it?
5149What is it?
5149What is it?
5149What is it?
5149What is it?
5149What is it?
5149What is the effect?
5149What is this deadly poison that was used on Mendoza?
5149What is this''curse of Mansiche''which the Senorita has mentioned?
5149What is your suggestion?
5149What seems to be the matter now?
5149What shall I do? 5149 What the matter?"
5149What then?
5149What was it about?
5149What was it about?
5149What was it you had Inez drop into Whitney''s coffee?
5149What was it?
5149What was that?
5149What was that?
5149What''s he doing?
5149What''s that? 5149 What''s the result of your detective work on Norton?"
5149What-- you here, Kennedy?
5149Whe- where''s Kennedy?
5149When do you expect him?
5149Where are they?
5149Where are you now? 5149 Where did Mr. Whitney go?"
5149Where did he get it?
5149Where did it come from-- and how?
5149Where is Inez Mendoza?
5149Where on earth are you? 5149 Where was Burke-- that man that the police sent up to protect her?"
5149Which way to Stuart Whitney''s estate?
5149Whitney knows her pretty well now, does n''t he?
5149Who is Haggerty?
5149Who is afraid?
5149Who is it?
5149Who is this Senor de Moche?
5149Who is this Senora de Moche?
5149Who sent it?
5149Who told you?
5149Who was it?
5149Who''s this?
5149Who?
5149Who?
5149Whom does it mean?
5149Whose is it?
5149Why do n''t they come out into the open, whoever they are?
5149Why do n''t you and Kennedy try to see Senora de Moche? 5149 Why is it that you fear it?"
5149Why should he have wanted to get me?
5149Why was he here?
5149Why, Juanita,encouraged Kennedy,"what''s the matter?"
5149Why, what has he done?
5149Why-- what has happened?
5149Why-- what''s the matter?
5149Why?
5149Why?
5149Why?
5149Why?
5149With a lantern?
5149With this weed of madness, as you call it?
5149Wo n''t you ask him to come in, Nita?
5149Wo n''t you be seated?
5149Would you care to meet them?
5149Would you like to know why you feel that way?
5149Yes, yes,repeated Kennedy,"but what about her?
5149Yes,repeated Norton,"but have you been able to do anything toward identifying them?"
5149Yes?
5149You are acquainted, I suppose, with a Senora de Moche?
5149You are sure of it?
5149You can read mystery-- like a book?
5149You do n''t think he could have known something about the dagger all along?
5149You had been trying the poison on YOURSELF?
5149You have no idea who could have sent such a note?
5149You have not seen Mr. Lockwood since, I suppose?
5149You have something to report?
5149You have told Inez that?
5149You have?
5149You heard Mr. Lockwood say that he had become associated with a Mr. Whitney, Mr. Stuart Whitney, down in Wall Street?
5149You heard what he said? 5149 You knew that it might offer some clue to the hidden treasure of Truxillo?"
5149You know Mr. Whitney, I suppose?
5149You know Senora de Moche and Alfonso?
5149You know the jimson weed-- the Jamestown weed, as it is so often called?
5149You remember that time in the tea room when we were sitting with Senora de Moche?
5149You remember when we were talking to the watchman down there at the station, Walter?
5149You remember, of course, the various mechanical and electrical ears, such as the detectaphone, which we have used for eavesdropping in other cases?
5149You saw no weapon-- a dagger?
5149You saw nothing about the den that aroused any suspicions?
5149You saw that?
5149You saw the dagger which Norton brought back, did you not?
5149You saw them?
5149You say the dagger was triangular, Norton?
5149You say your father knew the Senora?
5149You see that wound? 5149 You see?"
5149You still have no idea who could have sent it, or why?
5149You suppose?
5149You think you will have something tangible soon?
5149You were acquainted with Lockwood?
5149You were going out?
5149You will drop in on me if you hear anything?
5149You will excuse me a moment?
5149You will excuse me? 5149 You will excuse us?"
5149You will let me know of any development, no matter how trivial?
5149You will tell Mr. Kennedy-- you will both be-- so careful?
5149You''ll let me know, Kennedy, if you discover anything?
5149You''ll wait around a little longer?
5149You-- you are a detective?
5149You-- you got it?
5149A moment later we heard a voice,"I''m sorry to have had to keep you waiting, but what is it that I can do for you?"
5149Ah, well, perhaps it will be better-- who can tell?
5149And if I could not make out Lockwood, a man at least of our own race and education, how could I expect to fathom Alfonso?
5149And if they have"--she paused to emphasize it--"what does that mean?"
5149And it was that, partly, that ailed Mendoza?"
5149And supposing you have it-- what does that imply?"
5149Better yet, you remember how Whitney''s eyes looked, how Inez said her father stared, and how she feared for Lockwood?"
5149Beware of Mr. Lockwood?
5149But did it seem to do so now?
5149But did you notice how the treatment contracted the pupils of Whitney''s eyes almost back to normal again?"
5149But had you no other reason?
5149But is there none left?
5149But what good would that do, around a corner and so far away?
5149But what has that to do with Norton?"
5149But, say, there is a change in Whitney, is n''t there?
5149But, then, it flashed over me, was not my own case worse?
5149By the way, may I trouble you and Leslie to go over to the Museum of Natural History with a letter?"
5149By the way, you know the young man pretty well, do n''t you?
5149Could a human fly have scaled the walls, or an aeroplane have dropped an intruder at the window ledge?
5149Could he have spoken so heartily if he had known what it was, damning to himself, that Kennedy had tucked away in the laboratory?
5149Could he trust being unarmed, while Kennedy and I had all the weapons?
5149Could it be that Senorita Mendoza had some antipathy which did not include the son?
5149Could it be that we were only half right-- that they had gathered here but that Inez had really disappeared?
5149Could it be the same whom we heard over the vocaphone addressed as"Doc"?
5149Could she be in the room?
5149Could she be such a heartless woman as to play on the very heartstrings of one whom she had wronged?
5149Could some one have sent the letter not to produce the effect apparently intended, but with the ultimate object of diverting suspicion from himself?
5149Could there be some scientific explanation of the evil eye?
5149Could they have been hurt, picked up by some one and carried where they could get aid?"
5149Did he know more about the dagger than appeared?
5149Did he know something of the dagger?
5149Did he mean the de Moches?
5149Did it betoken a further tragedy?
5149Did it mean that the treasure would then be left for her family?
5149Did n''t you notice that?
5149Did that mean, necessarily that he committed the murder with it, that he now had it?
5149Did they carry her off-- as they tried to do the other time?"
5149Did you notice a change in Mr. Whitney, or have n''t you known him long enough?
5149Did you tell the elevator boy that she had suddenly been taken ill?
5149Did you, down in your heart, think them really fairy tales?"
5149Do n''t you think that it would be worth while watching Norton?"
5149Do you feel strong enough to go down to Whitney''s with me?"
5149Do you see anything peculiar?"
5149Had Whitney intended the capture of Inez for Lockwood?
5149Had both of them got out of each other all that they wanted-- Norton his reputation and Whitney-- what?
5149Had he been laying low, waiting his opportunity to get away?
5149Had he found a continuation of the tire- tracks?
5149Had he left a legacy of fear of a love forbidden by race prejudice?
5149Had he perhaps had something to do with the nasty business?
5149Had it been for the purpose of throwing us off the track?
5149Had she been preparing to go somewhere, too?
5149Had she really accepted it?
5149Had she telephoned to Alfonso and had he gone alone?
5149Had that been the purpose for which we had been sent on wild- goose chases?
5149Had the Gold of the Gods lured him into its net, too?
5149Had the truth come out in his jests?
5149Had they, then, some significance?
5149Had we been hoaxed and was all this risk in vain?
5149Has any one been here since we have been gone?"
5149Has he ever been here before?"
5149Have I ever given you cause to suspect even one little motive of mine?"
5149Have I no one to trust?"
5149Have you ever done anything with those shoe- prints you found in the dust of the mummy case?"
5149Have you found out anything about the de Moches?"
5149He had raised his voice from the whisper, and I caught Inez looking anxiously at Kennedy, as much as to say,"You see?
5149Hello-- what''s this?"
5149House party?"
5149How about them?
5149How are you making out?
5149How are you?
5149How could he be such a boob as to let the chance slip through his fingers?"
5149How did it happen?"
5149How is Senorita Inez?"
5149How was she when she arrived home?"
5149I guess you know something about that dagger he lost, do n''t you?"
5149I had and said so, adding,"But what was your idea?"
5149I hope your mother is well?"
5149I knew that its three- sided sheath inclosed a sharp blade, yet who would have dreamed that that blade was poisoned?"
5149I presume I shall see you again?"
5149I suppose you know of the loss of the old Inca dagger from the University Museum and that it was that with which Don Luis was murdered?"
5149I suppose you will have to turn in a story to the Star soon?"
5149I trust everything is all right?"
5149I trust that answers your question?"
5149I wonder if you could find him anywhere about the University this morning and persuade him to visit me?"
5149I wonder if you''d object if we had a little luncheon up here, to- morrow?
5149I wonder what caused it?"
5149Inez Mendoza without friends just now would be a mark, would n''t she?"
5149Is it all over?"
5149Is not that enough?"
5149Is she gone?"
5149Is the Gold of the Gods worth it?"
5149Is there anything wrong?"
5149Just a flying trip, I guess-- or does he expect you?"
5149Lockwood seemed to take it as though it applied to himself very readily, did n''t he?
5149Lockwood?"
5149Lockwood?"
5149Luis de Mendoza is the name, and it seems--""Don Luis de Mendoza?"
5149May I see that you get home safely?
5149Might he not have lost it?
5149Might not Mendoza have been murdered with it by some other hand to obtain or to hide the secret on its bloody blade?
5149Might not some of her feelings be readily accounted for?
5149Might not some one else-- the Senora, or Alfonso, or both-- have obtained it?
5149Might not some unseen hand strike at me, perhaps sooner than at him?
5149Might that very fear which the Senorita had of the Senora engender a feeling that would produce the very result that she feared?
5149My God-- where is she?"
5149Now, was she more than a clever actress?
5149Oh, my poor, little girl, what has become of her?
5149Oh, what is it?
5149Oh-- what shall I do?
5149Or was he playing a lone hand?
5149Or was she hinting at Inez accepting Alfonso''s suit?
5149Perhaps somehow it bore the secret of the big fish-- who knows?
5149Perhaps, somehow, Mendoza had the secret of the peje grande?"
5149Put him on, will you?"
5149Rockledge?
5149See?
5149She spoke bitterly; yet might she not mean that the loss of the dagger, the secret, was a curse, too?
5149Such eyes, such a figure-- did you ever see a more beautiful woman?"
5149Suppose the first message were true?
5149Surely you must have some other suspicions,"he persisted,"something that you feel, even though you do not know?"
5149Then are their chances better than others?
5149Then were their chances of finding the treasure any better than any one else had?
5149Then what does he do?
5149There was n''t the odour of any gas or drug?"
5149Understand?"
5149Walter, may I ask you to leave me here in the laboratory undisturbed?"
5149Was Inez really kidnapped this time?
5149Was Lockwood really innocent, after all?
5149Was he implying that it was sent to cast suspicion on him, because he felt that way himself or because he himself was her friend?
5149Was he telling the truth?
5149Was he the one who had got away and now calculated to come back and throw us off guard?
5149Was it Inez, not the dagger, that he really wanted?
5149Was it a coincidence, or was it merely a blind?
5149Was it a fact, or was it merely my imagination?
5149Was it a freak of my mind, or was there some reason for it?
5149Was it a sort of auto- hypnotism?
5149Was it actually a look of relief that crossed her face?
5149Was it possible that there might be something in it-- not objectively, but subjectively?
5149Was it pure fancy, or did I detect a trace of coldness as though there had sprung up something between them?
5149Was it really empty?
5149Was it through loyalty to the man who had contributed to financing his expeditions to South America?
5149Was that the reason why the Senorita so evidently feared her?
5149Was the same idea in his mind, also?
5149Was there some intruder there?
5149Was there still to be vengeance for his downfall?
5149Was there such a thing, I wondered hastily, as the drug of the evil eye?
5149Was this his cover-- to disown Norton?
5149Was this, after all, but a reincarnation of the bloody history of the Gold of the Gods?
5149Well, is Kennedy there?
5149What can it mean?"
5149What could we do?
5149What could we do?
5149What did it all mean?
5149What did it mean?
5149What did it mean?
5149What did you expect to accomplish by it?"
5149What else was there to do?
5149What had happened to him?
5149What has happened?
5149What if there should be something in it?
5149What is it?"
5149What makes them so-- well, effective?"
5149What might not they do with some weird South American poison?
5149What more natural than to think that we were both there?
5149What then more likely to cover himself up than to return when he knew that his entrance would be known, and find the thing himself?"
5149What then?"
5149What was back of it all?
5149What was it, I wondered, that kept him delving into the archaeological lore of the library?
5149What was it-- man or devil?
5149What was it?
5149What was it?
5149What was its message?
5149What was the reason back of it all, I asked, as I thought of those wonderful eyes of hers?
5149What were we to do?
5149What were we to do?
5149What will it be next?
5149What would he ask?
5149What''s that?
5149What?
5149Where are you?"
5149Where did it come from?
5149Where have they taken her?
5149Where is it?"
5149Where is she-- what have you done with her?"
5149Where is she?
5149Where should we go?
5149Where will it end?"
5149Which was he working for, now-- or was he working for himself alone?
5149Which way shall we turn?"
5149Whitney?"
5149Whitney?"
5149Whitney?"
5149Whitney?"
5149Whitney?"
5149Who could have sent the messages to us all?
5149Who could it possibly have been that had conceived this devilish plot?
5149Who had sent the warnings?
5149Who knows?
5149Who knows?
5149Who was likely to have known of curare?
5149Who was the man addressed as"Doc"?
5149Who were these to scorn her race, her family?
5149Who would go in?
5149Why did you pick out this house?"
5149Why do n''t they come out and face me?
5149Why do n''t you go home and take a rest?
5149Why not meet it now?"
5149Why not pause before it is too late?"
5149Why should I do otherwise?"
5149Why tempt fate, then?
5149Will you do it?"
5149With what?"
5149Would any one take advantage of the opportunity to tamper with the box of cigarettes on the table?
5149Would that be natural for one so high- strung?"
5149Would you remember the boy?"
5149Would you treat it seriously or disregard it?
5149XVII THE VOICE FROM THE AIR"Do you believe it?"
5149XXIII THE ACETYLENE TORCH Do you suppose he really had the dagger, or was that a lie?"
5149XXV THE GOLD OF THE GODS"What are you doing here?"
5149You are shadowed by some one-- you think it is by Whitney?"
5149You can come?"
5149You do not think it is Professor Norton, for instance-- or myself?"
5149You have met her?"
5149You have no clue, I suppose?"
5149You have the Star?
5149You know as well as I do that you have planned to get Inez Mendoza away from my influence-- to kidnap her, in other words--""We kidnap her?"
5149You remember the sample of blood which I squeezed from your thumb?
5149You say de Moche is in there yet?"
5149You see how neat it all is?
5149You were poisoned by gas that--""Yes,"I interrupted,"but how, with all the doors locked?"
5149You''re cracking a crib?
5149You''ve been trying to get me all day?
5149asked the coroner eagerly,"nux vomica?"
5149queried Craig,"or to whom it might refer?"
7688And how the devil do you keep old black thoughts out of your mind by those washy potations?
7688And the name?
7688And what do you want in the village, my pretty Helen?
7688And you never saw my mother?
7688And,said Grabman, looking over the notes in the paper given to him,"it is at Liverpool that the husband died, and whence the child was sent away?"
7688Are you alone, my dear?
7688Arrah, and what shall we make way for the like of you, you old busybody?
7688But what can your son do, if found, unless you endow him with the heritage of Laughton? 7688 But who is your Ganymede, your valet, your gentleman- usher?"
7688But,exclaimed Lucretia,"is this man your father?
7688Can I have a bond to that effect?
7688Do you ever read your Bible,said he, after a pause,"or even the newspaper?"
7688Do you live here?
7688Do you sleep more soundly when you lie on your treasure?
7688Do you think that her-- that his-- daughter is to me but a vulgar life to be sacrificed merely for gold? 7688 Do you understand me?"
7688He, oaf? 7688 He,--who?"
7688How do you do, Mr.--Mr.--humph-- Jason? 7688 I does not read nothing; cos vy?
7688I wonder,soliloquized Percival St. John,"what that poor fellow is thinking of?
7688In business?''
7688Is it you, Grabman?
7688Is that lady related to you?
7688Is the Bar your means, or your end?
7688My dear, do you remember what I read to you both from Sir William Temple the night before John left us?
7688Nay, pretty one, why so cruel? 7688 Old Brompton?"
7688Old black thoughts-- of what?
7688One of your brotherhood, that?
7688Then,said Percival, laughingly,"what, my good friend, will you ever do with your money?"
7688Very proper and filial,said Varney, laughing;"and does your love for the sex stop there?"
7688Well, poor coward?
7688Well,said Mrs. Mivers, emphatically,"are you coming, or are you not?
7688What do you mean?
7688What do you want with me?
7688What is the mother''s maiden name?
7688What mystery is this? 7688 Who''s your friend,--one of us?"
7688Who,said an elderly dandy, dining apart with one of his contemporaries,--"who is that lad?
7688Why recall me, in these rare moments when I feel myself human still,-- why recall me back to the nethermost abyss of revenge and crime? 7688 Yes,--Nicholas Grabman, attorney- at- law, sir, at your service; and your name?"
7688You are better, I hope?
7688You are prepared at last, then, to act?
7688You go to church on a Sunday?
7688You have ambition, then; you mean to become distinguished?
7688You never saw it, I think you say, in my poor father''s time?
7688You would know it again?
76887?
76887?"
7688A good ankle that, eh?
7688All my acts had flowed from one fount: should the stream roll pollution, and the fount spring pure?"
7688And does the roof of the pastor give shelter to Helen Mainwaring''s youth?
7688And what fairing are you to have?"
7688And who is this young gentleman, pray?"
7688And why?
7688At length he turned his bright, ingenuous eyes to Helen, and singling one rose from the rest, said beseechingly:"May I keep this?
7688But is the time come?
7688But why bore you on such matters?
7688But why?"
7688But you know all this, perhaps?"
7688But you will come now, will you not?"
7688But, meanwhile, my good old tutor, what will you think of me?
7688Can you name one man who you think is estimated by the public at his precise value?
7688Confess: did I fret then?
7688Did she return home safe?"
7688Did this Mr. Vernon leave no heir; this other sister continue single, or prove barren?"
7688Do n''t you remember the sparrow?"
7688Do you fancy that I should not have held death a blessing if death could have found me in youth such as Helen is?
7688Do you intend-- do you feel-- an other, a warmer love?
7688Do you no longer see in Helen''s face the features of her mother?
7688Do you think you ever shall?"
7688Does a father''s heart beat in one line of those hard sentences?
7688Does not the sparrow follow me about and nestle on my shoulder, dear little thing?
7688God help thee, son of the street, why not?
7688Has Death taken from her the natural protectors?
7688Have I not aided, am I not aiding you hourly, in your grand objects?
7688He broke the seal and read as follows:-- Do you neglect my advice, or have you begun to act upon it?
7688He could have done better if he had enjoyed himself less; but was not enjoyment the be- all and end- all of this little life?
7688He lived joyously, drank or gamed, or lent or borrowed,--what matters the wherefore?
7688Helen put her hand to her brow, and with a readiness which showed a memory equally quick and retentive, replied,"Yes; was it not to this effect?
7688How could I be so blind?
7688How do you do?
7688How is Helen?
7688How lost?
7688I am no aristocrat, but why should one couple together refinement and vulgarity?"
7688I dare say you see ugly goblins in the dark, Grabman?"
7688I tells you vot, if you keeps jawing there, atween me and she, I shall vop you, Joe,--cos vy?
7688If found, does this son succeed?
7688If he is dull, can we not fill the house for him?"
7688Is he related to you?"
7688Is it Susan returned to youth?
7688Is the perfidy of William Mainwaring forgotten or forgiven?"
7688Let me see, you are seventeen, I suppose?"
7688Man''s esteem I may command, though poor; woman''s love could I win, though rich?
7688My young pupil had been two years at the University when I received the letter of which this is a copy:--"How are you?
7688No?
7688Not gone to those Miverses again?
7688See, along the same walk on which William soothed Susan''s fears and won her consent,--see, what fairy advances?
7688Shall I mix you a tumbler?"
7688So did you once,--did not you, Mr. Mivers, did not you, eh?
7688St. John rose eagerly from the sofa, on which he had been contemplating the starlit treetops of Chesterfield Gardens,--"Well, well?"
7688Still well, still happy?
7688Take a man out of the streets, poor and ragged, what will the world do with him?
7688Then she lives there with her mother?"
7688These young fellows have a tone, a something,--a want of self- possession, eh?"
7688This husband-- did I tell you his name?
7688Those forms which we saw so full of youth and youth''s heart in that very spot, has the grave closed on them yet?
7688Though I never traced these good acts to Ardworth, from whom else could they come?
7688To be a jest of the young puppies he must know; to make him ashamed of himself and me,--himself as a milksop, and me as a dry nurse?"
7688Vernon St. John''s son?"
7688Vy von''t you come with ve?
7688Was I not as pleased with my dear sparrow as I should have been with the prettiest goldfinch that ever sang?
7688Was I not justified in the desire of retribution?
7688Well, what has that to do with the money?"
7688Well-- and you agree with your mother?"
7688What am I to you?"
7688What for?
7688What is genius without success?
7688What is it you mean?"
7688What is virtue without character?
7688What trace?"
7688What year?
7688What, you shake your head still?
7688When does the son''s image not walk beside the mother?
7688When?
7688Where are they all now,--Dalibard, Susan, and her fair- faced husband,--where?
7688Where can we ever meet again?"
7688Where is she?
7688Which way are you going?"
7688Who can feel such interest in my fate?"
7688Who that he knew could afford so costly a jest or so extravagant a tribute?
7688Who''d have thought it?
7688Who''s the victim?"
7688Why dream, then, that I would rescue the loathed child of that loathed union from your grasp?
7688Why, pardon me, it is strange, but you do n''t seem to care much for women?"
7688Would it not be sin to suffer the world to mar it?
7688Yet you''ll not grudge the child a place at your table, will you?
7688You hear the prayer: why not grant it, and let the flower''turn to use below''?"
7688You will impose on him-- if he is to conform to our hours and notions and quiet set-- a thousand irksome restraints; and what will be the consequence?
7688Yours may be come: is mine?"
7688cried Lady Mary, turning pale and putting aside her embroidery,--"killing him?"
7688he added,"I was talking folly; but what head would not you turn?
7688how do you do?
7688what is there to cry at?"
5121A bill- poster?
5121Alone and so dark?
5121Alone?
5121Am I not right, mother?
5121Am I to have your support?
5121And are fond of him?
5121And how came it on the road alone?
5121And is here?
5121And my boy''s adviser?
5121And she''s in there still?
5121And the coincidence of his presence in the ravine?
5121And this fact, with which I have just acquainted you, has done nothing to alter this opinion?
5121And was n''t it?
5121And were you not prepared?
5121And what did you say?
5121And when you saw me indisposed-- unable, in fact, to greet you-- what did you do then?
5121And would this be so fatal to your peace, judge?
5121And you believe that bosh?
5121And you did n''t follow?
5121And you never heard where Oliver went?
5121And your daughter? 5121 Any memorial of the Etheridge case?"
5121Are we alone?
5121Are you going to show me one such as I have described?
5121Are you there?
5121Are you very unhappy? 5121 Averill?
5121Because her father died the death of a criminal?
5121Because of the picture?
5121Behave yourself and treat the judge like a gentleman or--"Or what?
5121But Oliver?
5121But if John should be proved to have suffered wrongfully? 5121 But not enough for the public?"
5121But what can I do? 5121 But you remember it?"
5121But, madam, what proof-- what reason can you have for an assertion so monstrous?
5121But,objected Deborah,"if you know where to look for him, why take the child?
5121Deborah?
5121Deborah?
5121Did Reuther see him?
5121Did the officer you met on your return from Tempest Lodge follow you to Shelby?
5121Did you see him strike the blow? 5121 Did you see?"
5121Do you ask me?
5121Do you mean that you wish to remain there while I work? 5121 Do you mean those roughnesses?"
5121Do you think you can find her with such insufficient data? 5121 Do you, ma''am?"
5121Does the town know? 5121 Ever since--""And how old is Reuther?"
5121Excuse me, Mrs. Yardley, it may be a matter of no moment, but do you mind telling me where this room is?
5121HATED?
5121Has she a child? 5121 Has she shown the greater weakness yet?"
5121Has there ever been anything in his conversation as you knew it in Detroit to make you hesitate to reply?
5121Hated?
5121Have YOU come upon some clew? 5121 Have they come together?
5121Have they that here?
5121Have we?
5121Have you a magnifying- glass? 5121 Have you any idea who this person is?"
5121Have you found out who she is?
5121Have you the messages with you?
5121He did? 5121 He handled the stick that-- that-""Oliver?"
5121He has received letters then?
5121He has told you so?
5121Her status? 5121 His father?"
5121How do you find? 5121 How far are we now from the Lodge?"
5121How long have you been in Detroit?
5121How soon do you want my decision?
5121How''s that? 5121 I can buy the Claymore Tavern, can I?
5121I?
5121Innocent?
5121Is not that the best which can be given a hard- headed, clear- eyed lawyer like yourself? 5121 Is that true?"
5121Is there any objection,he asked,"to Mrs. Scoville''s remaining present at this interview?"
5121Is this your steady reader?
5121It was in his pocket?
5121Judgment, eh?
5121Letters?
5121Marry her? 5121 Meanwhile you will make an attempt to discover the author of these anonymous attacks?"
5121Mrs. Scoville( not Deborah now) have you any confidence in Oliver''s word?
5121Mrs. Yardley, you''ve seen this woman''s face?
5121Must I speak first?
5121Must you go?
5121No article of immense value such as that rare old bit of real Satsuma in the cabinet over there?
5121No one listening on the line?
5121No suspicion?
5121No; why should I?
5121No; why should I?
5121Nobody around?
5121None from Oliver?
5121Not enough for you, either?
5121Not seen her?
5121Nothing on your mind but housekeeping?
5121O, Judge Ostrander, how can you doubt it?
5121Of course they produced the knife?
5121Of his hate?
5121Oh, what now?
5121Oliver is in Canada?
5121Oliver?
5121Oliver?
5121Oliver?
5121On the evidence you mention?
5121Perhaps I am no stranger to you? 5121 Pretty?"
5121Pride or hope?
5121Remember it?
5121Reuther, have I ever been harsh to you?
5121Reuther? 5121 Reuther?
5121Shall I tell the judge the result of his telegram, or will you?
5121Shall we go back and wait for broad daylight?
5121She has n''t confided in you?
5121She was here, then?--a woman with a little child? 5121 Son?"
5121Stayed where?
5121Stuff, is n''t it?
5121That he expected to marry your daughter? 5121 The same by which Judge Ostrander leaves the house?"
5121The train south?
5121Then Miss Weeks''neighbourliness failed in point? 5121 Then what''s the matter with you?"
5121Then, Mrs. Scoville, may I request you to come in?
5121Then, whose blade left that?
5121Then,said he,"it was your child who visited my house to- day?"
5121They are human, are they not? 5121 Was it a new knife, a whole one, I mean, with all its blades sharp and in good order?"
5121Was the child with you-- at your side I mean, all this time?
5121Was this difference of opinion on the calling he should pursue, the cause of Oliver''s leaving home in the way he did?
5121Were you right? 5121 What are your reasons,"said he,"for the hopes you have just expressed?
5121What did he ask you when he came out here?
5121What do you mean by that, your honour?
5121What do you think of him now?
5121What evidence would satisfy YOU? 5121 What have you there?"
5121What is his name?
5121What letters? 5121 What little matter?"
5121What now?
5121What were the words? 5121 What''s that?"
5121What? 5121 Where is Reuther?"
5121Where was this? 5121 Where''s the young lady?"
5121Where, Reuther? 5121 Which he can get by riding fast?"
5121Who advised you?
5121Who are they?
5121Who has been writing to you? 5121 Who is the woman, Mrs. Yardley?
5121Whose horse is this?
5121Why have you waited till NOW?
5121Why is this man my enemy?
5121Why not have made use of this point before it was too late? 5121 Why there?"
5121Why?
5121Will it avail? 5121 Woman, you are keeping nothing back?"
5121Would you trust him enough to believe that he would tell you the truth if you asked him point- blank whether his hands were clean of crime?
5121Yes, you have found them, have you not, lying about the grounds?
5121Yet they are worn? 5121 You allude to the unexplained separation between himself and father, and not to any failure on his part to sustain the reputation of his family?"
5121You are going to pursue this Jack- o''-Lanthorn?
5121You are going to send for Oliver?
5121You believe one person wrote them?
5121You consider them scandalous?
5121You did n''t bring it?
5121You do n''t have many readers for this volume?
5121You found? 5121 You have a point, then, to make?"
5121You may think you have done so, but what assurance can you have of the fact?
5121You remember the shadow I saw which was not that of John Scoville? 5121 You stop because your judgment tells you that you were on the point of making a fool of yourself?
5121You think so?
5121You think that?
5121You want to know what has happened here? 5121 You will join us soon?"
5121You wish that?
5121You? 5121 You?
5121Yourself, madam?
5121''And what are the places?''
5121*****"You are going to- night?"
5121A bribe from the woman who had entered there?
5121A flash from the spinster''s wary eye, then a burst of courage and the quick retort:"And what explanation does Oliver himself give?
5121A noise?
5121A pause, then the quick question ringing hollow from the darkness,"Why have your doubts returned?
5121A witness of what?
5121A woman dressed in purple, leading a little child without any hat?"
5121After what I have said and reiterated that he is guilty, GUILTY, GUILTY?"
5121Am I not right, madam?"
5121Am I not right?
5121And he?
5121And how did he take that?"
5121And in the months which followed, when as Reuther''s suitor she saw him often and intimately-- how had she regarded him then?
5121And what do you think has given YOU an opportunity to turn on HIM?"
5121And what have they written?"
5121And what of his conduct towards Reuther?
5121And where am I to get that?
5121And you have a daughter, you say?"
5121And, mamma, are you sure that you are quite happy to- day?
5121Answer me then, as one sorrowing mortal replies to another, had n''t you another reason?"
5121Are we followed?"
5121Are you quite sure that she is a stranger to Shelby?
5121Are you ready?
5121Are you satisfied to share this solitude with me?"
5121Are you watching, sir?"
5121As his widow, as the mother of his child, I implore you to tell me why you showed him this leniency?
5121BOOK II THE HOUSE AND THE ROOM XIII A BIT OF STEEL"When are you going to Judge Ostrander''s?"
5121Balked?
5121Better be singed than consumed?
5121Black''s discouraging advice?
5121Black?"
5121Black?"
5121But Oliver, with a fire which nothing could damp, spoke up again:"Gentlemen, will you see my father so degrade himself?
5121But Reuther?
5121But before she could begin her story, he added this searching question:"Was it he who let you in-- you and others-- I think you said others?
5121But had she been really justified in this easy view of things?
5121But how am I to proceed?
5121But how can you do so?
5121But how was she to reach him?
5121But how will that help you?
5121But if not he, who was it?
5121But to what?
5121But was her fault irremediable?
5121But was there no medium course?
5121But what about the bets?"
5121But what action?
5121But what do you want to see them for?
5121But what has that got to do with the point at issue?"
5121But where could I fly?
5121Can I look in her innocent eyes and believe her father to have so forgotten his responsibilities as to overshadow her life with crime?
5121Can he have arrived home already?
5121Can not you guess it, madam?
5121Can one endure a repetition of such horror?
5121Can she stand the excitement-- the physical strain?"
5121Can we find the man who whittled that stick?
5121Chaos confronted me, and in contemplation of it, I fell ill. What saved me?
5121Could it be that she shared the very serious doubts of Deborah''s anonymous correspondent?
5121Could n''t I have three?
5121Could she not learn from some other source where Oliver had been on the night of that old- time murder?
5121Could she remember what?
5121Dare she lift her eye and meet the gaze she felt concentrated upon her?
5121Did I walk?
5121Did he offer any explanation for this lack of-- of sympathy between us?"
5121Did he perceive this or was it the silence which drew his attention to her condition and the evils still threatening him?
5121Did he remember his own rough handling of the sex on the witness stand?
5121Did her face express intellect, persistence and, above all, courage?
5121Did n''t he marvel and call it extraordinary-- the work of the devil?"
5121Did n''t you say she had a child with her, Miss Weeks?"
5121Did the foreman feel the threat lurking in the air about him?
5121Did you know that he was going down street, leaving the way open behind him?
5121Did you mean that, sir?"
5121Did you observe anything marked about it?"
5121Did you see anything else?"
5121Do n''t you find it a little amusing?"
5121Do n''t you say so, fellows?
5121Do the police retain such things?
5121Do they look at all familiar?"
5121Do they often cry like that?"
5121Do you find anything unnatural in a guilty soul bemoaning its loss rather than its sin, in the spot which recalled both to his overburdened spirit?"
5121Do you know what they say about her house?
5121Do you know"--here he leaned forward, and plunged his eye, now burning with many passions, into hers--"who this enemy is?"
5121Do you remember the old tavern on the Rushville road?
5121Do you want one of them to stay inside?
5121Do you wonder that I recoiled, sought to gain time, put off delivering the sentence from day to day?
5121Etheridge?"
5121Etheridge?"
5121Evidently this intrusive little body did not know Bela or his story, or-- Why should interruption come then?
5121Feeling so, shall I remain quiescent and see youth and love slip from you, without any effort on my part to set this matter straight?
5121For the reason I ascribed to Scoville?
5121Guilty or not guilty?"
5121Had I meant it to be such?
5121Had any one spoken?
5121Had he done wrong to let her join him in this strange ride?
5121Had her clear intelligence pierced at last to the core of that mother''s misery?
5121Had it been altogether favourable and such as would be natural in one of his repute?
5121Had n''t I better find out?"
5121Had she found her way out front while they approached from the rear?
5121Had she impressed him?
5121Had she played her part with success?
5121Had she seen what Deborah would have spared her at the cost of her own life?
5121Had that been all her mother heart could ask of a man of his seemingly high instincts?
5121Had the compulsion arisen?
5121Had the separation of years rendered them callous to every mutual impression?
5121Had time stopped here too?
5121Has not my long life of solitude within these walls sufficiently proved this?
5121Has the thing become a scandal-- a byword?
5121Have I counted too much on your good- nature?"
5121Have I not read your mind, madam?"
5121Have I said enough?
5121Have YOU heard something which I have not?"
5121Have any of us ever made the like acknowledgment and then tried to sleep?
5121Have the detectives got him?"
5121Have you a cap like that?"
5121Have you any idea?"
5121Have you understood all this?"
5121He had every wish and had made every preparation to marry my child, when-- Shall I go on?"
5121He knew who you were then?"
5121He was dead, DEAD, DEAD!--And I?
5121How came John Scoville to hang, without a thought being given to the man who hated A. Etheridge like poison?
5121How can I be made sure that they wo n''t yield to the temptation of their position and climb the fences they are detailed to guard?"
5121How could I dream that your nerves could not bear any sudden shock?
5121How could she sit there and read words, with the blood pounding in her veins and her eyes half blind with terror and excitement?
5121How do you feel, my-- my dear?
5121How do you know that the fact you mention was coincident with the crime?
5121How should you know where to look for him?"
5121How singed and how consumed?
5121How soon do you think I can speak to her?"
5121How would these women regard the disorder and the dust?
5121I do n''t suppose that there is really anything behind that door of his which it would alarm any one to see?"
5121I may rely on you?"
5121I see a way--"What change was this to which she had suddenly become witness?
5121I spoke of a miracle-- Will you not listen, judge?
5121I''ll--"Why did his eye wander to the nearest window, and his words trail away into silence?
5121I-- What''s that?"
5121II WAS HE LIVING-- WAS HE DEAD?
5121II WAS HE LIVING?--WAS HE DEAD?
5121III BELA THE REDOUBTABLE IV"AND WHERE WAS I WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENED?"
5121IV"AND WHERE WAS I WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENED?"
5121If I let him go, would another such chance of delivering his father''s message be given me?
5121If he should be shown to have been innocent?"
5121If one such scrap can be thrown over the fence, why should n''t another be?
5121If she had--""Well, what?"
5121In her anxiety to determine, she hesitatingly remarked:"Not the man who writes those anonymous letters?"
5121In what pit of despair had it finally gone down?
5121Irish or Scotch?"
5121Is he well?
5121Is her reading correct?
5121Is my little one pining too much for the old days?"
5121Is n''t that it?"
5121Is she a mother?"
5121Is she maid, wife or widow?"
5121Is that so?
5121Is that true, or were you merely trying to cheer your mother?"
5121Is the door quite shut?"
5121Is there a train he is anxious to reach?
5121Is there any one with you?"
5121Is there any possibility of my finding it laid away in some drawer at Headquarters or on some dusty shelf?"
5121Is there anything impossible or even improbable about all this?
5121Is there anything you would like?
5121It did not prevent him, however, from asking quite abruptly:"In what shape and by what means did this communication reach you?"
5121May I rely upon the police to do this, beginning to- night at an early hour?
5121Might I not have time for-- for what?
5121Miss Weeks, did you know Algernon Etheridge well enough to tell me if he was as good and irreproachable a man as they all say?"
5121Money?
5121Mr. Black, shall we be going?
5121Mr. Sloan, is there a train?"
5121Mrs. Yardley, will you procure me an immediate interview with this woman?
5121My man, Bela--"Then with his former abruptness:"Have you no idea who this Mrs. Averill is, or why she broke into my house?"
5121No one knew of the quarrel; and if they did, who could be so daring as to associate one of my name with an action so brutal?
5121No other reason, eh?"
5121No, do n''t speak; just ask Mr. Black to return, will you?"
5121Nor was her chin weak; sometimes she had thought it too pronounced for beauty; but what had she to do with beauty now?
5121Of anything which the discovery of these articles might substantiate?
5121Oh, father, will such an angel marry me?"
5121One for each gate and one to patrol the fence separating these grounds from the adjoining lot?"
5121Only, who is to protect me against your men?"
5121Or can it be that you are not yet convinced of our wisdom in ignoring this diabolic attack upon one whose reputation is as dear to us as our own?
5121Or had it another and much simpler explanation?
5121Or if it was he, and some other hand threw his stick across my path, whose was this hand and why have we never heard anything about it?
5121Or why his foolish story of having left his stick behind him at the chestnut?
5121Ostrander?"
5121Perhaps you have come upon the like?"
5121Perhaps you know my name?"
5121Reuther?
5121Sagacious, eh?
5121Scoville?"
5121Scoville?"
5121Shall I call Samuel?"
5121Shall I go?"
5121Shall I make a light?"
5121Shall we go?"
5121She catches one glimpse ahead of her, and sees-- What does she see?
5121She has reached the road debouching towards the bridge-- has crossed it-- is drawing near-- nearer-- when, what is this?
5121She may mean harm; I''ve heard of such things, and are we goin''to see the judge in danger and do nothin''?"
5121She was not as interesting as you had a right to expect from my recommendation?"
5121Should I light the hall gas as I went by?
5121Should it not make her pause?
5121Should she go away, or stop and take one peep just to see that there really was another and similar fence inside of this one?
5121Should she let everything go and let him know her mind, or should she continue to conceal it?
5121Should she tell him?
5121Should-- should we have to keep the gates locked?"
5121So the double fence means nothing?"
5121Sympathy with her, as he would have her believe, or a secret feeling of animosity towards the man he openly professed to admire?
5121THEN WHY SUCH MAGNANIMITY TOWARDS THE MAN WHO STOOD ON TRIAL FOR KILLING HIM?"
5121That last page-- need I say it?"
5121That was about it, was n''t it, sir?"
5121The house was full of young men; how pick out the friend?
5121The judge hesitated, then motioning Black to sit, said abruptly:"What is Andrews''attitude in this matter?"
5121The one great question which had agitated her was this: Should she trust the judge?
5121The sense of some presence near, if not intrusive?
5121The young fellow went off pretty quick, eh?"
5121Then a troubled cry:"Oh, judge, are you here?"
5121Then as his mind regained its full poise,"And how, even if you had the temerity to venture an entrance here, did you manage to pass my gates?
5121Then shortly,"What is his attitude?"
5121Then, a sound like smothered greetings, followed by quickly advancing steps and a voice she knew:"How is my father?
5121They shouted,''Where is Oliver, your guilty son, Oliver?
5121This was shown by his first question:"WHERE IS THE WOMAN?"
5121To go back to their first meeting, what impression had he made upon her then?
5121To the question,''Why these barriers?''
5121VIII WITH HER VEIL LIFTED"MRS.--""You recognise me?"
5121WHAT HAD MADE THE CHANGE?
5121Was he as close- mouthed in speaking of me to her as he was to you?"
5121Was he dead?--stricken by the sight of so many faces in a doorway considered sacred from all intrusion?
5121Was he destined to witness in this solitary meeting a return of the phenomenon which had so startled the intruding populace that morning?
5121Was he gone also?--this man of inalterable habits-- gone before Bela''s return-- a thing he had not been known to do in the last twelve years?
5121Was he living?
5121Was her own uneasiness infectious?
5121Was his father keeping vigil also?
5121Was it a stroke, or just one of his attacks of which all had heard?
5121Was it for her to touch, to rearrange, to render clean and orderly this place of unknown memories?
5121Was it he who unlocked my gates?"
5121Was it mine any longer?
5121Was it natural?
5121Was it the peaked one?--the like of which you have n''t in your marvelous collection?"
5121Was it the police?
5121Was it the woman?
5121Was not the man, who could bring his hand down upon so frail and exquisite a creature as Reuther was in those days, capable of any act of violence?
5121Was she as anxious to see him now as she had been in the early morning?
5121Was she daunted?
5121Was she giving the judge an opportunity to recover from his embarrassment, or was she simply making good her own cause?
5121Was she quite alone in the seemingly quiet street?
5121Was that a sob?
5121Was the alienation between these two so complete as to block out natural sympathy?
5121Was the child determined to share her vigil?
5121Was the judge falling again into unconsciousness?
5121Was the woman gone?
5121Was there any sound in the air at all?
5121Was there collusion between you?"
5121Was this attempt at unconcern, so pitiably transparent to her, made in an endeavour to probe her mind or to deceive his own?
5121Was this last a confession?
5121Was this meant as an innuendo?
5121Was this swelling of her impetuous heart in the midst of such suspense an instinct of thankfulness?
5121Was this the judge speaking?
5121We are followed then?"
5121Were minutes really so long-- the house really so far away?
5121Were the world and its interests at a pause in horror of my deed?
5121Were there any opportune shadows to betray what happened between the instant of-- let us say Oliver''s approach and the fall of my friend?
5121Were they to miss its solution, when only a door lay between it and them-- a door which they might not even have to unlock?
5121What am I to say now to the judge?"
5121What are we to think of that?
5121What are you after?
5121What awaited her?
5121What awaited the judge?
5121What could such treachery mean, and what was her neighbourly duty under circumstances so unparalleled?
5121What could you have found?"
5121What did he put in the balance,--or what have others put in the balance, to send your passionate intentions flying up to the beam?
5121What did she expect to see in it which others had not seen many times?
5121What did she see?
5121What did the men shout?"
5121What did you see then or-- hear?"
5121What do you mean by that?
5121What do you say, Black?"
5121What do you think, Miss Weeks?"
5121What do you want to see that for?
5121What does this man know?
5121What else have you against him?
5121What evidence lies back of these shouts?
5121What had happened?
5121What has made him thus suddenly careless, he who has never been careless before?
5121What help can you get out of that?"
5121What is it?
5121What is it?
5121What is that something?
5121What is there in this to rouse a whole neighbourhood and collect before it a group of eager, anxious, hesitating people?
5121What lay behind this new and penetrating look, this anxious and yet persistent manner?
5121What madness was this?
5121What message did it carry from Deborah''s warm, true heart that its influence should be so miraculous?
5121What might it not tell of a past concerning which she longed to be reassured?
5121What more did I need as proof that it was his shadow I saw?"
5121What right had we to come in here?"
5121What shall we do?
5121What task?"
5121What took you into the ravine that evening, Oliver, and why, having picked up the stick, did you fling it from you and fly back to the highway?
5121What use?
5121What was I to do?
5121What was I?
5121What was at the bottom of Mr. Black''s contradictory assertions?
5121What was coming?
5121What was it?
5121What was its charm?
5121What was its secret?
5121What was lacking in her statement?
5121What was on the paper?
5121What was this goal?
5121What will your mother say?"
5121What witness?
5121What would YOU consider a conclusive proof of guilt?"
5121What?
5121What?"
5121When, Oliver, when?"
5121When-- how-- did you first learn my real reason for sending you from home?
5121Where did you ever get them?"
5121Where is Bela?
5121Where is Oliver?"
5121Where is she now?"
5121Where look for him, then?
5121Where was her courage now?
5121Who spoke?
5121Who?
5121Why are you raking up these bygones which only make the present condition of affairs darker and more hopeless?
5121Why did he go off quite so suddenly?
5121Why did n''t I take advantage of their absorption to fly?
5121Why did you do this?
5121Why do you mention it and-- and his tavern?"
5121Why else should she go into a strange gate just because she saw it open?"
5121Why go yourself?
5121Why have I not thought of this before?
5121Why might it not be so in my case?
5121Why not telegraph to these places?"
5121Why should I?
5121Why should she recoil again at that?
5121Why should she take from that hard- faced lawyer what she had not been willing to take from himself?
5121Why then did she allow them to remain, the one in the closet, the other in the drawer?
5121Why then had she felt it impossible to finish her sentence?
5121Why this instinctive move?
5121Why?
5121Why?
5121Why?
5121Why?
5121Will they let him continue on the bench when his full condition is known?"
5121Will you accept the position, if I add as an inducement my desire to have Reuther also as an inmate of my home?
5121Will you come to the bluff where the ruins are one- half hour before sunset?
5121Will you explain how you came to do this?
5121Will you fill your glass again, sergeant?"
5121Will you hear it, judge?
5121Will you lift your veil, madam?"
5121Will you wait here for just a few minutes?"
5121With what purpose?
5121Wo n''t it help you to know this, Reuther?
5121Would he himself be able to?
5121Would her quest be facilitated or irretrievably hindered by her presence in the judge''s house?
5121Would it lighten again?
5121Would it not be better to give her a rest for to- night, judge?"
5121Would n''t the judge''s objections, in that case, be removed?
5121Would the judge pass this body, or turn away from it towards a door leading front?
5121Would the man still in possession of the paper whose contents had brought about this attack understand these evidences of apprehension?
5121Would the woman come?
5121Would you have me cherish any further illusions after that?"

5121You know that exception?"
5121You remember that he had been whittling at the stick--""Who?"
5121You understand me, sergeant?"
5121You understand, my dear, and will excuse an old man''s eccentricities?"
5121You were at your husband''s trial; you were even on the witness- stand?"
5121You were in search of information, I see; information against the best, the brightest-- Well, why do n''t you speak?
5121You were not long in Utica?"
5121and again, why?
5121and cautious, eh?
5121good friend, what?"
5121he confronted the one witness of his anguish of whose presence he was aware, and fiercely demanded:"Where are the wretches who have done this?
5121must she answer that?
5121or that Bela-- that giant among negroes-- would be so affected by his emotions that he would not see or hear an approaching automobile?
5121she murmured in quick admonishment;"what is that other sound?
5121shut the door, ca n''t you, before it''s blown from its hinges?
5121was her mind veering back to her old idea as to his responsibility for the crime committed in Dark Hollow?
48882''Did you know those English at Lahore?'' 48882 ''What is it?''
48882''You could guide us through?'' 48882 ''You have come for it?''
48882Ah, but you have not spoken of this?
48882All the servants are on the beach, then?
48882Am I not?
48882An ancestress of hers, no doubt?
48882And destroyed it, of course?
48882And her hat?
48882And here you are going to remain all night?
48882And how should I know anything? 48882 And if you die in the meantime?
48882And now can you explain it?
48882And show my hand, you mean? 48882 And so that inhuman wretch is Marion''s mother?"
48882And that is all you are going to tell me, Geoffrey?
48882And there she is now?
48882And to- night''s doings are to remain a secret?
48882And what is that?
48882And when I come back do I bring a joyful confession with me?
48882And who is this gentleman?
48882And why are you regarding me so intently? 48882 And why has Marion gone away?"
48882And yet I rather gather that she does not hold first place in your affections?
48882And you do n''t know who she is?
48882And you expect me to believe this, Geoffrey?
48882And you interfered to save the life of others?
48882And you will not have a doctor?
48882And you wo n''t be long?
48882Are there any mysteries?
48882Are they different to ours?
48882Are we never going to do anything?
48882Are you coming with us?
48882Are you feeling better?
48882Are you going to speak or shall I tell the story? 48882 Are you not my friend?
48882Are you really leaving us?
48882Are you sure of that?
48882Are you thinking of the same thing that we are?
48882As far as I am concerned, you mean? 48882 As you do?"
48882But I suppose she came to see you?
48882But can I cultivate her after to- night?
48882But can they?
48882But do you think you were wise to show this to me?
48882But my mother and Geoffrey and----"Ah, you love Geoffrey? 48882 But surely this does not apply to my family?"
48882But the light in the corridor?
48882But was it an accident?
48882But what can I want it for? 48882 But what do they want there?"
48882But who was he, Tchigorsky?
48882But why bring him here?
48882But why does she come?
48882But why not stop it? 48882 But why-- why does this fascinating Asiatic come all those miles to destroy one by one a race that she can scarcely have heard of?
48882But will this mystery and misery never end?
48882But you have not always been blind?
48882But you say that Marion was with Vera?
48882But your curious expression----"What is curious about my expression?
48882By the cruel foe, Marion? 48882 Can you let me out here, or shall I go by the same means that I entered?"
48882Can you manage to keep her afloat?
48882Can you not?
48882Can you see anything?
48882Could it have been the flowers?
48882Could we prove that the foe had had a direct hand in the tragedies of the past? 48882 Dare you open it?"
48882Dare you use it?
48882Darling,he whispered,"you know that I love you?"
48882Dear, do n''t you know that I am devoted heart and soul to your interests? 48882 Did I?"
48882Did Tchigorsky tell you?
48882Did n''t I always say as how he''d get through? 48882 Did she write to you?"
48882Did you call out?
48882Did you ever know me tell you a lie? 48882 Did you know that diary existed?"
48882Did you really love your mother?
48882Did you see her?
48882Do it? 48882 Do n''t you like that woman?"
48882Do n''t you see she is in the dark? 48882 Do you know anything of this?"
48882Do you know you seem to be a long way off to me this afternoon?
48882Do you mean that they perished with that stranger last night?
48882Do you recognize the voice?
48882Do you want anything more?
48882Do you want to say anything to me?
48882Do you want to see me?
48882Does it hurt much?
48882Does n''t it seem wonderful, Geoffrey?
48882Does she account for her presence here?
48882Does the slave reproach the master who keeps his carcass from the kennel?
48882Dr. Tchigorsky is still about?
48882Drowned, with a placid smile on his face, after the fashion of the novel?
48882Foiled her?
48882For Mrs. May''s benefit?
48882For revenge on you two?
48882Geoff, have you any suspicions?
48882Geoff, was it you who snatched the cloth from the table?
48882Geoffrey, Geoffrey, where are you?
48882Geoffrey,Vera said after a long pause,"are we too happy?"
48882Give you what, uncle?
48882Had n''t we better search them?
48882Have I not already explained to you, darling?
48882Have we not trouble and misery enough in our house without making more?
48882Have you been out to the west of Gull Point to- day?
48882Have you discovered it all?
48882Have you learned what the latest villainy is?
48882Have you seen her?
48882He was a very old friend of yours?
48882Hence the changed face and the glasses?
48882Horrible,he said,"but why this mystery?"
48882How can you look me in the face after the way in which you have treated me?
48882How could you prevent them?
48882How did it happen?
48882How did you get here? 48882 How did you get here?"
48882How did you get here?
48882How did you guess that?
48882How did you manage it, uncle?
48882How did you manage it?
48882How is the visitor?
48882How long can one endure this and live? 48882 How long has she been like this?"
48882How long have I been asleep?
48882How long will it last?
48882How long, how long? 48882 How should I?
48882How''s this for a disguise, Master Geoffrey?
48882I am so sorry for you?
48882I am to accompany you, then?
48882I am your prisoner, then?
48882I believe I have the pleasure of speaking to Mr. Ralph Ravenspur?
48882I hope you are comfortable?
48882I need not ask what opinion you have formed of me?
48882I suppose I have to thank Mrs. May for this?
48882I suppose they are a nuisance occasionally?
48882I suppose you can do no more to- night?
48882I suppose you planned everything out?
48882In the name of Heaven, why?
48882In the name of Heaven, why?
48882In the ordinary bar- frame hives of course?
48882In what way?
48882In which direction?
48882Is anything going to happen?
48882Is it a fact?
48882Is it a painless death?
48882Is it as Jessop says?
48882Is it dangerous?
48882Is it possible to be too happy?
48882Is it you, Elphick?
48882Is my cousin Nicholas Tchigorsky? 48882 Is not my pulse steady?
48882Is that because you think my secret is a shameful one?
48882Is that you, Tchigorsky?
48882Is the coast clear?
48882Is the difference very marked?
48882Is there another mystery?
48882Is there any danger?
48882Is there any need to go on? 48882 Is there anything I can do for you?"
48882Is there anything in the morning papers that is likely to interest me, Abell?
48882Is there danger?
48882It is all right?
48882It was not possible for him to be picked up?
48882Lies just outside the window, does n''t he?
48882Marion has come back again?
48882Marion?
48882Marion?
48882May I assist you?
48882May I venture to suggest that the knowledge is not displeasing to you?
48882No more visions lately?
48882Now what am I to do?
48882Now, I put it to you as a lady of brains and courage, if you had been in my position, would you have shown that to your family?
48882Now, ca n''t you come up some evening and dine with me? 48882 Of course you ascertained her name?"
48882Of what use is a blind man?
48882Oh, so you know that also?
48882Oh, will you never wake up?
48882Oh, yes, uncle; are you a wizard or what? 48882 On the floor, my dear uncle?"
48882Read your fortune in the stars? 48882 See whom?"
48882Shall I go and see what it is?
48882So that we are rid of our foes at last?
48882So this is the Alton where you are going to- night?
48882So you have been successful?
48882So you have been taken into her confidence?
48882Solved?
48882Something has happened?
48882Something to do with it?
48882Straight to Jessop''s farm?
48882Tchigorsky has disappeared?
48882Tchigorsky not dead?
48882Tchigorsky?
48882Tell me what it means, Geoff?
48882Tell me what the language says?
48882That you propose to do?
48882The marks on my face? 48882 The princess is convinced of that?"
48882Then he has not been here to- day?
48882Then my friend Tchigorsky is alive?
48882Then the princess goes not back to Lassa?
48882Then they are usually dangerous?
48882Then who was it that was buried?
48882Then why did he come here?
48882Then why do you take every means of thwarting me?
48882Then why not drop upon them?
48882Then why should you worry?
48882Then you are not going to take any notice of the warning?
48882Then you have no theory to offer?
48882Then you have not guessed?
48882Then, in that case, sir, why do n''t you?
48882There is nobody about?
48882There is nobody within earshot of us?
48882There was one traveler who found the key, you remember?
48882They are great friends?
48882They guess I am a victim to the vendetta?
48882They managed to elude you?
48882Uncle Ralph, do you know what it is?
48882Uncle, how did you guess that?
48882Uncle,she stammered,"what are you doing here?"
48882Very,Geoffrey said dryly;"but where is Marion?"
48882Was it imported for the purpose?
48882Was she young and good looking?
48882Was that not so, Vera?
48882Wass and Watkins, will you come with me?
48882Well, I suppose I must go, too?
48882Well, was the adventure this evening creepy enough for you?
48882Well, what am I to do with it?
48882Well,Tchigorsky asked,"have you solved the problem?"
48882Well,he said,"have you anything wonderful to relate?"
48882Well?
48882Well?
48882Were you ever in Tibet?
48882What am I to understand by that, sir?
48882What are you doing?
48882What are you going to do with me?
48882What are you going to do?
48882What are you going to do?
48882What are you looking for?
48882What are you thinking about?
48882What became of the fellow?
48882What better proof could the slave of my illustrious mistress have?
48882What can an unfortunate like that have to live for?
48882What can it matter whether there is an inquest held on them or not? 48882 What could we gain by that?
48882What did it mean?
48882What did you think of the episode?
48882What difference does it make?
48882What do you make that out to be?
48882What do you mean by that?
48882What do you mean by that?
48882What do you propose to do?
48882What do you say, Uncle Ralph?
48882What do you with your gentle nature know of love? 48882 What does all this mystery mean?"
48882What does it all mean?
48882What does it matter?
48882What does it mean, Marion?
48882What does it mean, uncle?
48882What good would that do?
48882What have I done?
48882What is all this about?
48882What is her hold over Marion?
48882What is it, what is it?
48882What is it?
48882What is it?
48882What is it?
48882What is that choking smell?
48882What is that noise?
48882What is the confusion in the house?
48882What is the matter with the girl?
48882What is the matter?
48882What is the matter?
48882What is the matter?
48882What is the matter?
48882What is the next move?
48882What is your name?
48882What matter?
48882What shall you do about it?
48882What should be the matter?
48882What should they want? 48882 What should we do without you?"
48882What was she doing?
48882What will be her fate?
48882What would Vera say?
48882What''s the matter, little girl?
48882What, go away and leave me all alone, dearest?
48882What, indeed?
48882When does he come here?
48882Where am I?
48882Where are they going?
48882Where are you going to sleep?
48882Where are you going to take me?
48882Where are you going?
48882Where are you?
48882Where did I leave off? 48882 Where did I leave off?"
48882Where did she go?
48882Where have you been?
48882Where they are attached to a queer- looking instrument?
48882Who are you and whence do you come?
48882Who are you, and whence do you come?
48882Who are you?
48882Who are you?
48882Who are you?
48882Who can she be?
48882Who could fail to?
48882Who did it?
48882Who gave you this, and what is your message?
48882Who is she?
48882Who is the new marvel?
48882Who is the woman? 48882 Who is there?"
48882Who knows but that she had discovered some plot against us and had come to warn us? 48882 Who laid this labyrinth?"
48882Who opened the window?
48882Who was it who tampered with the boat?
48882Who was the victim, uncle?
48882Who will help me upstairs? 48882 Why do n''t you denounce me now?"
48882Why do you drag me here?
48882Why do you intrude upon me like this? 48882 Why not produce your proofs and hand the miscreants over to the police?"
48882Why not? 48882 Why not?
48882Why not?
48882Why should they have fascinated us in that strange way? 48882 Why should we sit here like this?"
48882Why should you all live and prosper while he was dead?
48882Why should you do this thing?
48882Why your fault? 48882 Why?"
48882Why?
48882Why?
48882Why?
48882Will it ever be lifted, sir?
48882Will it sound strange to you to hear that I long and yearn for you always; that I still love those whom I would have destroyed? 48882 Will she die?"
48882Will somebody ring the bell?
48882Will you tell him so? 48882 Wo n''t you tell me now?"
48882Wo n''t you tell me what has happened?
48882Woman?
48882Would she recognize us? 48882 Would the Ravenspurs outrage the sacred name of hospitality like that?
48882Yes, but what had the dream and the powder to do with it, little girl?
48882You are better?
48882You are getting near the truth?
48882You are going to London alone?
48882You are in Dr. Tchigorsky''s confidence?
48882You are interested in the Ravenspur case?
48882You are not afraid of the family terror?
48882You are sure you can not get up?
48882You are under the impression that I am not English?
48882You dare ask me that question?
48882You did not tell those servants their fortunes in your present garb?
48882You do not care for white flowers?
48882You find it strange?
48882You found her charming?
48882You got it, eh?
48882You had a good look at it, then?
48882You have found the culprit?
48882You have no hope, no expectation of the truth coming to light?
48882You have not given up all hope?
48882You have not guessed who the Princess is, then?
48882You have proofs of what you say?
48882You heard all this?
48882You heard her, then?
48882You knew the day you got here?
48882You say it is impossible for that woman to get away?
48882You say this is the place?
48882You wanted to see my father?
48882You wo n''t betray yourself?
48882You, Marion? 48882 ''Did you ever know a Russian traveler, Voski by name? 48882 ''Do you know her, too?'' 48882 ''Dogs, do you want to live?'' 48882 ''What are the five points of the temple there?'' 48882 ''What of him?'' 48882 Ah, what did I tell you? 48882 Am I always to carry the family troubles on my shoulders?
48882Am I never to have a minute to myself?
48882Am I not an object of pity?
48882Am I to believe that you are not going to be true to your oath?"
48882Am I to regard myself as a prisoner, then?"
48882And Marion?"
48882And how could he broach the matter of Tchigorsky without betraying Marion?
48882And how many times has Vera seen me kiss you?
48882And if I did lose you, darling, what would become of me?"
48882And now will you promise me that you will say nothing of this to a soul?"
48882And the others?"
48882And was not Marion equally mysterious?
48882And was she not here----here a guest among those who for some reason she hated from her soul?
48882And was this the wildest comedy or the direst tragedy that was working out before his eyes?
48882And what are you doing with that feminine- looking box?"
48882And what could the bees have to do with it?
48882And what did that light mean?
48882And where has the fellow gone?"
48882And where was Marion?
48882And why did everybody leave her so severely alone?
48882And why do they commit follies with their eyes wide open?
48882And why had Marion not returned?
48882And why should these people persecute him; why should they come here?
48882And why waste the breath that would be so precious to him later?
48882And yet where could he get the poison?
48882Any color?"
48882Are you going home?"
48882Are you going?"
48882Are you ready?"
48882Are you right?
48882Are you still suffering from a headache?"
48882Are you, Tchigorsky?"
48882But had Marion a sister?"
48882But how are we going to get rid of those things?"
48882But what are you doing?"
48882But what brings them here?
48882But what has Mrs. May to do with it?"
48882But what room did she go into?"
48882But where are you going?"
48882But who would believe my accusation?"
48882But why do you speak like this to- day?"
48882But why do you want to have that woman under the roof?"
48882But why go on like this?
48882But why not meet him in daylight in a proper and natural manner?"
48882But would n''t it be well to make sure?"
48882By the way, have you concocted a plausible story to account for your escape?"
48882By the way, what is it I hear about your finding a body down on the sands?"
48882CHAPTER LI"WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?"
48882CHAPTER LVII HAND AND FOOT What did it mean?
48882CHAPTER XV RALPH RAVENSPUR''S CONCEIT"I should like to know why you wanted the ivory picture?"
48882CHAPTER XVII WHENCE DID THEY COME?
48882Ca n''t you tell me a little more?
48882Can the leopard change his spots?
48882Can you be any the worse because you are bound by some tie to that woman yonder?
48882Can you stand there calmly and see----""See you making an ass of yourself, eh?
48882Could I have the heart to do so after all you have done for my family?
48882Could I see one of those charming girls, Miss Vera or Marion?
48882Could she recognize me?"
48882Could the mind of man imagine a more diabolical torture?
48882Could we demonstrate to the satisfaction of a jury that Mrs. May and her confederates were responsible for those poisoned flowers or the bees?
48882Dear Geoff, will it be long before all this anxiety is disposed of?"
48882Did I not possess the occult knowledge of the East with a thorough knowledge of what you are pleased to call Western civilization?
48882Did I not tell you that the attempt had been made and had failed?
48882Did Ralph know everything, or was he as ignorant as the rest?
48882Did not Princess Zaza pick you both out at Lassa?"
48882Did the people of the castle suspect her?
48882Did this man know the terrible position he had placed her in?
48882Did you ever see Tibet bees?"
48882Did you hear anything they were saying?"
48882Did you manage to get a clue to what it was?"
48882Did you notice anything as you came along?"
48882Did you notice the eyes of the Princess?"
48882Do n''t we all love you the same?
48882Do n''t you remember my telling you how the princess spoke of him?
48882Do n''t you remember?"
48882Do n''t you see that they have missed me?"
48882Do n''t you think it was a queer thing?"
48882Do n''t you think that Jessop''s lodger must be a very extravagant kind of woman?"
48882Do n''t you understand that she suspects she has been trapped?
48882Do you know anything of this, I say?"
48882Do you know who the guilty creature is, whose hand is actually striking the blow?"
48882Do you mean to say you know what it is?"
48882Do you propose to make the capture to- night?"
48882Do you really mean that?"
48882Do you recognize anything beyond the legitimate perfume?"
48882Do you see anything else here?"
48882Do you suppose that I could ever forget the love and affection that have been poured upon me?
48882Do you understand what I mean?"
48882Do you want anything?"
48882Does he court defeat at the outset of our enterprise?"
48882Does it not seem funny to realize that before long we shall be laughing and chatting and moving with the world once more, Geoff?
48882Does it not sound strange?
48882Does my face tell you nothing?"
48882Geoffrey, are you indifferent to myself and my future that you speak like this?"
48882Geoffrey, you are fond of novel reading?"
48882Geoffrey, you will see that all proper arrangements are made for the funeral?"
48882Get inspiration from the heavenly bodies to combat the power of darkness?"
48882Grandfather, you would not turn him away?"
48882Had he left it in the dining- room or the library?
48882Had he not arranged it so that a score of savants in Europe should learn the truth within a month of his decease?
48882Had he not said that everything hinged upon her reticence and silence?
48882Had he not seen her return after the boat had been beached and mourn over the wreck like some creature suffering from deep remorse?
48882Had he not seen the girl hastening away from his boat?
48882Had her subordinates heard her cry?
48882Had not she a secret in common with Ralph?
48882Had she really seen this thing or had she dreamed it?
48882Had she said too much or did he suspect?
48882Had the affair miscarried and the miscreants got away in some other direction?
48882Had they fled, or had they been taken?
48882Had you not a daughter?"
48882Has Mrs. May a companion hidden somewhere, a companion who might be Marion''s sister?"
48882Has Vera been arguing with the bees again?"
48882Has anything happened here?"
48882Has the stuff any particular smell?"
48882Have I been mistaken in you, Vera?"
48882Have you a heart at all, or are you a beautiful fiend?"
48882Have you any doubt?"
48882Have you discovered that, Tchigorsky?"
48882Have you done that?"
48882Have you no feeling?"
48882He was poisoned, you think?"
48882How did he die?
48882How did he escape?"
48882How did it all happen?
48882How did you manage to deal him that blow on the head, uncle?"
48882How did you manage to get away, Geoffrey?"
48882How do you think my sketch is progressing?
48882How long are you going to detain me here?"
48882How long have you known her?"
48882How much did she know?
48882How much had she guessed?
48882How much more of this is it possible to bear and still retain the powers of reason?
48882How?"
48882I do n''t know whether you know the man-- his name is Tchigorsky?"
48882I suppose you recognized the risks that you ran?''
48882I will kill them off-- they shall die----""As my mistress slew her husband when his life was of no more value to her?"
48882If they had fled, had they removed the instruments with them?
48882Is Marion connected with her?"
48882Is it not strange that I have the seeds of the same complaint?"
48882Is it possible that he suspected anything?
48882Is there a fire laid here?"
48882Is there anything else?"
48882Is-- is it dangerous?"
48882Jessop?"
48882Marion, where are your tender feelings?"
48882May?"
48882May?"
48882May?"
48882May?"
48882Mr. Ravenspur, surely you have guessed who was the English officer Princess Zara married?"
48882Need I say more?"
48882Now do you understand what it all means?"
48882Now, do you begin to understand the malignity of the plot?
48882Or was he the poor creature he represented himself to be?
48882Ralph, can you induce your father and the whole family to go away for a time-- say till after dark?"
48882Ralph, do you know anything?"
48882Ralph, everybody has retired?"
48882Ralph, what is it?
48882Ravenspur, are you ready?"
48882See, is there blood on this knife?"
48882Shall I see your father?"
48882Shall I tell you how?"
48882Shall we enlighten Master Geoffrey a little as to the kind of woman she is?"
48882Shall we go to bed?"
48882Shall we see if we can get as far as Sprawl Point and back before luncheon?"
48882She was trapped, eh?"
48882She wrote to you, of course?"
48882So Tchigorsky is in danger, eh?
48882Surely her grief must be beyond the common?
48882Surely, you do not need to be told why you are detained?"
48882Tchigorsky?"
48882Tell me, do you ever see this Mrs. May by any chance?"
48882They had something with them?"
48882To strike him down foully had been too dangerous, for had he not told her that he was prepared for that kind of death?
48882Was he dangerous enough to be removed?
48882Was he telling the truth, or was he spying on her?
48882Was it possible that some such horrible thoughts had crossed Marion''s mind?
48882Was n''t it plucky of her?"
48882Was she entirely in the dark as to her mother''s machinations, or had she come resolved to protect the relatives as much as possible?
48882Was she still in the vaults or had she managed to slip away to her bedroom?
48882We are alone?"
48882Well, are you going to convey us to a place of safety, or shall we shoot you like the others?''"
48882What am I saying?"
48882What are they going to do now?"
48882What are you going to do about it?"
48882What are you to me?"
48882What are you?
48882What can Marion''s queer ancestors and all that kind of thing have to do with our family terror?"
48882What could have become of him?
48882What could it mean?
48882What could the mysterious foe hope to gain by this merciless slaughter?
48882What did it mean, what strange mystery was here?
48882What did it mean?
48882What did the other girl wear?"
48882What did this girl know about him, and why did she stand wailing over his boat?
48882What did those men mean by drowning themselves in the vaults?
48882What do we know of them?
48882What do you make of it, uncle?"
48882What do you mean?''
48882What do you see outside?"
48882What does it matter what I do?"
48882What flowers?"
48882What had become of the coat and glass mask she was wearing at the time things went wrong in Geoffrey Ravenspur''s room?
48882What happened?"
48882What has become of her?"
48882What have I to fear now from those wise men of the East?
48882What have you two been quarreling about?"
48882What next?
48882What should we do without her?"
48882What should we do without you?
48882What should we do without your cheerfulness and good advice?
48882What time is it?"
48882What to do next?
48882What use is the Ravenspur property to us when we are doomed to die?"
48882What was going on?
48882What was going to happen next?
48882What was it?"
48882What was it?"
48882What was the use of calling so long as nobody could hear him?
48882What would the estimable Jessop say if he could see into his parlor?"
48882When we get Voski''s body, what shall we do with it?"
48882Whence come these cruel misfortunes?
48882Where are the bees?"
48882Where are those scripts?''
48882Where are you going, dear?"
48882Where are your proofs?"
48882Where had he heard a laugh like that before?
48882Who can help the wayward driftings of a woman''s heart?
48882Who could connect the poor blind man with the deed?
48882Who did it?"
48882Who is it?"
48882Who shall comprehend the waywardness of a woman''s heart?
48882Who was this man who knew so much and could probe her secret soul?
48882Who, then, is the prime mover in this business?"
48882Why are clever people often so foolish?
48882Why do we never hear of that sort of poison nowadays?"
48882Why do you feel for things in that way?"
48882Why does she do it, Tchigorsky?"
48882Why draw the veil aside when even a few hours''peace stood between them and the terror which sooner or later must sap the reason of every one there?
48882Why had his uncle and the mysterious Tchigorsky taken him so far into their confidence and then failed him at the critical moment?
48882Why had she not thought of this before?
48882Why not end her life now?
48882Why not kill off her husband''s family one by one so that finally the estates should come to her?
48882Why not let them enter and then take them all red- handed?"
48882Why should I go on leading my present life?
48882Why should I shield you?
48882Why should this blow fall after the lapse of all these years?
48882Why should you say that?"
48882Why was there all this commotion in the house?
48882Why, then, should Marion be disturbed?
48882Why, then, should her good name be dragged in the mire?
48882Why?
48882Why?"
48882Why?"
48882Why?"
48882Will you please take the letter without letting anybody know what you are doing, and put it at the foot of the big elder in the tangle?
48882Will you, dear?"
48882Wo n''t you do this thing?
48882Wo n''t you say that it is a sudden whim of yours?
48882Wonderfully artistic, is n''t it?"
48882Would it never stop?
48882Would the time to act never come?
48882Would you have your enemies to guess that you have seen my master?
48882Would you like to see the letter?
48882Would you say that the condemned murderer was rash for attempting to pick the pocket of the gaoler, even for attempting to murder him?
48882Would you take pity upon my loneliness and come to tea?"
48882You are better, sir?"
48882You are not afraid of danger?"
48882You are not afraid?"
48882You are still interested in occult matters?"
48882You follow me?"
48882You have not far to go, of course?"
48882You have sent him somewhere, uncle?"
48882You hear?"
48882You know nothing of the boy?"
48882You know why I am here?"
48882You would n''t think she was a woman whose heart is in a weak state, eh?"
48882You would not reproach me, Ben Heer?"
48882Your friend here?"
48882can you hear anything?"
48882is there no mercy for us?"
55378A boy,asked Ezra sharply,"what boy?"
55378A fairy tale?
55378A link of memory?
55378After Villiers disappeared, you went home?
55378Afterwards?
55378Ah Goon, where is the white man who comes here every night?
55378All what?
55378Am I in the way?
55378Am I the guardian of your virtue?
55378And Lord Santon?
55378And Miss Rainsford?
55378And how long did you sleep, dear?
55378And how long is it since you added the spy business to your usual work?
55378And it was quite an oversight not placing them in there on Saturday?
55378And that is it?
55378And that is?
55378And that some one?
55378And the knife was still in the pocket?
55378And the third--"About the knife? 55378 And then, I presume,"said Eugénie, with fine disdain,"you think he went and murdered Lazarus right off?"
55378And then?
55378And what about your dear friend-- her husband?
55378And what happened to his overcoat there?'' 55378 And when will you come back, Keith?"
55378And who is that colourless- looking little man who has just come up?
55378And you have n''t seen her for a year?
55378And you think I stole the diamonds?
55378And your proof is that you picked up a broken sleeve- link?
55378Any fresh development of the case?
55378Any one else with you?
55378Any one got a knife?
55378Anything going on in the House?
55378Anywhere else?
55378Anywhere in particular?
55378Are n''t you pleased to see me?
55378Are those paste jewels?
55378Are you aware,asked Naball deliberately,"if the late Mr. Lazarus had any enemies?"
55378Are you doing anything now?
55378Are you going to rob me of my daughter? 55378 Are you honest?"
55378Are you jealous, you foolish woman?
55378Are you sure?
55378Are your parents alive?
55378As much as mumsey, Meg?
55378Bliggings?
55378But Keith?
55378But how can that identify the bank- note?
55378But how could he have left the place?
55378But how do you know it''s Stewart''s knife?
55378But how is it the child saw you? 55378 But how?"
55378But the diamonds?
55378But the jewel?
55378But the open safe?
55378But what about this jewel?
55378But what am I to do?
55378But what does this prove?
55378But what''s that got to do with the death of my father?
55378But who could the second man have been?
55378But who took it, and how?
55378But who would do so?
55378But why do this,said Eugénie in a pitying tone,"when you can keep her with you?"
55378But why should Fenton steal your diamonds? 55378 But why should she think it you?"
55378But why? 55378 But you do n''t think she''s guilty?"
55378But your heart?
55378But, my dear,she said rapidly,"surely they do n''t suspect that poor young man of murdering his father?"
55378By whom?
55378Can I give him any message, sir?
55378Can I help that? 55378 Can not you guess?"
55378Can you tell me where you got that?
55378Come now,said Naball, with a wink,"we know all about that-- eh?
55378Curse the man,groaned Malton, who saw what this meant at once,"he''s off; I must follow--- but where?
55378Did he go?
55378Did he know where they were kept?
55378Did n''t you meet a messenger?
55378Did you see anything?
55378Do n''t you believe me?
55378Do you accuse me?
55378Do you believe him guilty?
55378Do you feel easier, dear?
55378Do you know the numbers of them?
55378Do you know?
55378Do you mean dissipation, Eugénie?
55378Do you mean to say that a large sum like that was placed to your credit by a person whom you do n''t know?
55378Do you mean to say you will throw me over because I''ve no money left?
55378Do you remember the diamond robbery at this place? 55378 Do you take us for born fools?"
55378Do you think I''m dependent on you for money?
55378Do you think Naball suspects you?
55378Do you think the thief will try and dispose of them in Melbourne?
55378Do you think your father knows Caprice?
55378Do you want to ask me any more questions?
55378Does he love you?
55378Does he think I''m such a fool as to let him go now? 55378 Does n''t Hiram J-- what''s his name, object?"
55378Drunk?
55378For me?
55378For what reason?
55378Going?
55378Good?
55378Got any more diamonds?
55378Got this?
55378Have a drink?
55378Have you any reason for wishing me not to go?
55378Have you been a good little girl?
55378Have you been worried?
55378Have you found out who sent you that?
55378Have you had any articles accepted since your arrival in Melbourne?
55378Have you not made a mistake?
55378He did n''t speak to you when he was near the window?
55378He is rather washed out, is n''t he?
55378He knew Caprice had diamonds worth five thousand?
55378How dare you force your way into my house?
55378How did he find out that?
55378How did it come into his possession?
55378How long were you thus wandering about?
55378How on earth could I come across this note?
55378How the deuce does Stewart run it?
55378How?
55378Humph!--set in silver-- rather toney,he said;"well, is this part of the swag?"
55378I hardly know what to think-- what about my second proof?
55378I know that-- don''t you remember you told me that Caprice had an interview in the supper room with Villiers? 55378 I only want to know where you got this?"
55378I s''pose you think I killed old Lazarus?
55378I suppose you''ll arrest him at once?
55378I thought it was something like that,said Naball coolly;"but why the deuce could n''t she sell her diamonds openly without all this row?"
55378I thought you knew her?
55378I understand,said Eugénie;"but who could it have been?"
55378I understand; as long as you have the run of the London market, you can treat Colonial playwrights as you choose?
55378I want to know who sent me this money?
55378I will tell it in the form of a little story-- have I your permission to be seated?
55378I wonder if Caprice ever had any dealings with Lazarus?
55378I wonder who''ll be Fenton''s successor?
55378I''m sure I could n''t account for every individual five- pound note I receive-- it''s absurd;--is that all the case they have against him?
55378I,laughed Kitty mockingly,"help him?
55378If I tell you all, what will you do?
55378In pencil?
55378In pencil?
55378In the dark?
55378In what way?
55378In what way?
55378Indeed,said the detective, carelessly--"to lend money?"
55378Is my carriage there?
55378Is n''t this noise disagreeable?
55378Is she dead?
55378Is that all? 55378 Is this true?"
55378Is this true?
55378Is what true?
55378Isaiah, where''s my father?
55378It ca n''t be Caprice?
55378It would take a bigger man than a sprat like you to commit such a crime; but, tell me, do you know Caprice?
55378Keith?
55378Like that with which Hawthorn endowed Donatallo?
55378Like this?
55378Literary work?
55378Look here, Kitty,he said slowly,"did you do anything with those diamonds?"
55378May I kiss you?
55378Meg is quite well, and so is Meg''s daughter,holding out the doll for Kitty to kiss;"but, mumsey, why is the lady so sad?"
55378Miss Rainsford, I believe?
55378Miss Rainsford, do you know what this link means?
55378Miss Rainsford?
55378Mumsey,said Meg at length,"can I tell the lady a secret?"
55378Mumsey,said Meg, clinging to her mother,"why do you cry?
55378Mumsey,said Meg, trying to take her mother''s hands from her face,"were you cross to the lady?"
55378Mumsey,she said,"why does the lady cry?"
55378Naturally; but why come to me?
55378Never off?
55378No doubt-- but this must have been a specially large sum?
55378No one knew they were in the drawer of your looking- glass on that particular night?
55378No, my dear, I do n''t believe he is a murderer; but as to the diamonds, what am I to think after what Meg told me?
55378Not the diamonds?
55378Now then, gentlemen,said Mortimer, playing with a paper- cutter,"about this burlesque-- what is your opinion?"
55378Of course I did n''t,she retorted angrily;"why should I?
55378Of the police?
55378Off!--where?
55378Often?
55378Oh, God, have you no pity? 55378 Oh, but if you had to pay Malton money, why did you not do so by cheque?"
55378Oh, did he?
55378Oh, did she take it away with her?
55378Oh, do you?
55378Oh, how do you know that? 55378 Oh, is it you, Miss Rainsford?"
55378Oh, it''s you,growled Villiers, looking up with a scowl,"what do you want?"
55378Oh, not for a long time,replied Isaiah;"but do you remember the week them diamonds were stolen?"
55378Perhaps you can explain all this, Miss Rainsford?
55378Perhaps you''ll tell I killed him?
55378Personally?
55378Pleasant? 55378 Rather a burlesque than opera- bouffe,"he answered;"what would you say to''Faust Upset?''"
55378She evidently wanted a sum of money for something; now, are you aware that she wanted money?
55378So I understand,replied Kitty indignantly;"and may I ask if you have discovered anything?"
55378So one of the notes that were stolen has the inscription''Back Flat- Iron''on the back of it?
55378Stole it, I reckon?
55378That''s rather severe, is n''t it?
55378That''s the man I suspect-- fixed up anything, eh?
55378The Midas case?
55378The dead man''s son?
55378The deuce you do-- who?
55378The gate? 55378 Then how did it come into Mr. Villiers''possession?"
55378Then if we make a great success of this burlesque,said Keith,"you will give us better terms for the next thing we write?"
55378Then promise me to help this unhappy man?
55378Then what do you propose to give?
55378Then who, in Heaven''s name, did?
55378Then why not leave this sinful life, and go to England with your child?
55378Then you do care for me a little?
55378Then you do n''t love him?
55378Then you do n''t think me guilty?
55378Then, who did?
55378There is some reason for you all coming here; what is it?
55378They''ve been snubbing you?
55378This is one of the notes that were stolen?
55378Until when?
55378Untrue?
55378Villain?
55378Was the door of the alley leading to the back open or shut?
55378Well, Mr. Naball,asked Ezra, in his soft voice,"what can I do for you-- anything about this unfortunate affair?"
55378Well, Naball, and what brings you here?
55378Well, Naball,he said, in his strident voice,"what is the matter?
55378Well, Naball,said the manager, looking up sharply,"what''s up?
55378Well, did you?
55378Well, gentlemen,he said gaily,"what is the news?"
55378Well, now I know your pedigree, what is the story of your life?
55378Well, what about this five- pound note? 55378 Well, where''s mother?"
55378Well,he said, throwing himself on the sofa,"have n''t you got a word to say for yourself?"
55378Well?
55378Well?
55378Were any of the servants in the room when you made the remark?
55378Were there any other valuables in the safe?
55378What about the knife I gave you?
55378What are the hours?
55378What are you doing there?
55378What are you going to do now?
55378What are you going to do now?
55378What can I say?
55378What diamonds?
55378What did I tell you?
55378What did she say?
55378What did you do?
55378What do you mean?
55378What do you mean?
55378What do you mean?
55378What do you mean?
55378What do you mean?
55378What do you think of that?
55378What do you think should be done, Eugénie?
55378What do you think?
55378What do you want me to do?
55378What do you want?
55378What do you want?
55378What do you want?
55378What do you want?
55378What does she say?
55378What for?
55378What for?
55378What for?
55378What for?
55378What have you got to do with it? 55378 What is my child to you?"
55378What is she going on in this way for?
55378What is the child''s name?
55378What is the use of trying to make his life happy?
55378What is this great secret?
55378What made me take up writing?
55378What made you buy such a thing, Stewart?
55378What made you take up writing?
55378What makes you naughty?
55378What man?
55378What other man?
55378What the deuce does it mean?
55378What tune is that?
55378What will you do?
55378What would you like to give him, my precious?
55378What''s he arter?
55378What''s his name?
55378What''s that for?
55378What''s that to you?
55378What''s that?
55378What''s the good? 55378 What''s the matter with you to- night?"
55378What''s the matter, Keith?
55378What''s the matter?
55378What''s the matter?
55378What''s to be done now?
55378When did you find this, Meg?
55378When did you see her last?
55378When did you see the diamonds last?
55378Where are you going?
55378Where are you going?
55378Where did you get it?
55378Where did you get the money?
55378Where did you go then?
55378Where else would they be?
55378Where is he?
55378Where is he?
55378Where were you on the night of the murder?
55378Which will be correct?
55378Who gave you this?
55378Who is Casandra-- another dark''un?
55378Who is cynical now?
55378Who is it?
55378Who is the father? 55378 Who is the lady of the music?"
55378Who knows he is innocent?
55378Who placed this five hundred to your credit?
55378Who saw him last?
55378Who the devil gave you permission to pry into my private affairs?
55378Who told you that?
55378Who?
55378Who?
55378Why did n''t you give it to her yourself?
55378Why did n''t you run?
55378Why did you introduce me to that old thing?
55378Why did you keep silence?
55378Why did you turn into Russell Street?
55378Why have you called to see me again?
55378Why not in private?
55378Why not?
55378Why not?
55378Why not?
55378Why spoiled?
55378Why the deuce did she deny this being hers?
55378Why the devil wo n''t she prosecute?
55378Why would n''t she prosecute? 55378 Why, Meg,"said Keith, going to the foot of the stairs to receive her,"what are you doing at this hour of the night?"
55378Why?
55378Why?
55378Why?
55378Why?
55378Will Meg go to bed now?
55378Will you join us?
55378Will you kindly give me your address?
55378Will you take a seat?
55378Will you, indeed? 55378 Wonder where he lives?"
55378Would you like to see a minister?
55378Would you mind telling me the evidence?
55378Would you mind telling me the evidence?
55378Would you mind telling me what the evidence is?
55378Yes, I think I can trust you-- but the question is, will you take care of my child-- I mean will you accept the trust? 55378 Yes, a case of history repeating itself, is n''t it?"
55378Yes, darling?
55378Yes, is n''t he?
55378Yes,said Fenton, paying his cab fare;"can I do anything?"
55378Yes-- what-- about him?
55378Yes; but Keith''s knife?
55378Yes; did you want me?
55378Yes; what about him?
55378You again?
55378You are sure of this?
55378You are sure that the person who stole the diamonds committed the crime?
55378You are the girl he is engaged to?
55378You can prove an_ alibi?_"I''m afraid I ca n''t. 55378 You do n''t believe him guilty?"
55378You do n''t know any one who would do you a good turn?
55378You do n''t know?
55378You do n''t love him?
55378You do n''t think Caprice did it?
55378You do n''t think Caprice is guilty?
55378You do n''t think I''m guilty?
55378You do n''t think she''s an accomplice?
55378You generally kept the diamonds in the safe?
55378You have a child?
55378You intend to go?
55378You know how I love Rachel?
55378You loved him?
55378You mentioned it generally?
55378You noticed nothing peculiar about him?
55378You saw I was taken aback?
55378You see those three?
55378You seem to have read a great deal?
55378You surely do n''t suspect Stewart of the murder?
55378You think Malton is guilty of the murder, why not of the robbery also? 55378 You think it''s about Caprice''s diamonds?"
55378You will?
55378You wo n''t give me any money?
55378You wo n''t, wo n''t you?
55378Your salary?
55378A vile word, and yet what was that Mrs. Malton said about her child blushing for her father?
55378Ah Goon is a good pawnbroker, is n''t he?"
55378Ah, Kitty Marchurst, what mercy did you ever show?
55378And what is your father''s occupation?"
55378Any marks of blood?"
55378Any of you boys join?"
55378But Caprice?
55378But tell me your opinion of Caprice?"
55378But the gentleman who saved her-- where is he?"
55378But then the fact remained, she would not allow an investigation to be made; and how was this to be accounted for?
55378Confound him, where can he have gone?"
55378Did Caprice know Villiers had stolen her jewels?
55378Did I give you the diamond crescent?"
55378Did I not give him fair warning of the end?
55378Did he know the room where the diamonds were kept?
55378Did you get Mrs. Proggins''letter?"
55378Does she know you''re engaged?"
55378Fenton?"
55378God help her, would Meg live to blush for her mother?
55378Going to see her?"
55378Had he any inducement to steal the diamonds?
55378Have you a light?"
55378Have you got further proof of my guilt?"
55378He thought for a moment, and then replied,--"Then, why not come with me?"
55378He''ll go to Valparaiso will he?
55378How did you first take to writing?"
55378How do you expect a man to come home when he finds things so disagreeable?"
55378How do you think I can better my position?"
55378How''s Esther, my dear?"
55378How?
55378I do n''t care if I do die so long as my child is safe-- you will look after her?"
55378I do n''t know where I''m going-- where am I going?"
55378I saw the window wide open, and looked in and saw--""The murdered man?"
55378I suppose you''ve seen all about it?"
55378I was born of poor but honest parents, quite the orthodox style of thing, is n''t it?"
55378I will introduce you to her to- night, and then--""Well?"
55378I wonder, if he knew that I gave him the five hundred pounds, what he''d say?
55378If Malton were innocent, why these signs of agitation?
55378In Heaven''s name, why?
55378Is it the candle''s fault that the moths are attracted?
55378Is it work, or-- or the other thing?"
55378Is she going to stay?"
55378Is she married?"
55378Is this the property of Caprice?"
55378Keith?"
55378Keith?"
55378Knife,"repeated Naball,"that''s not been found yet-- I must see about this-- now there''s Villiers-- I wonder if he could help me?
55378Lazarus?"
55378Malton?"
55378Malton?"
55378Mr. Lazarus, will you take me to my carriage?"
55378Mr. Stewart, will you give me your arm?"
55378Mumsey,"raising her eyes,"which house would you like to live in?"
55378Naball?"
55378Naball?"
55378Now I suppose you''ve nothing to do?"
55378Now, I wonder what his wife is calling here about?
55378Now, do you understand?"
55378Now, sir,"turning to Keith,"what''s your idea?"
55378Now, what do you say?"
55378Now, where did you get it?"
55378Oh, I must''ave one pipe to- night, just one, and-- Who the blazes are you?"
55378Question is, which way did he go?"
55378Stewart certainly told all he knew with perfect frankness, but then was he telling the truth?
55378Stewart''s got some, has he; where did he get it?"
55378Stewart?"
55378Stewart?"
55378Tell me, whom do you think will win?"
55378There''s nothing wrong, eh?"
55378Tibsey_.--"Me, my lord?
55378To his astonishment, however, she never moved a muscle of her face, but asked calmly,--"And who is the thief and the murderer?"
55378To whom did it originally belong?"
55378Was Villiers outside on the verandah when Caprice mentioned where her diamonds were kept?
55378Was he confused?
55378Was it ever in my possession?"
55378Were his clothes in disorder?
55378What do you mean, curse you?"
55378What do you say, Lazarus?"
55378What do you say?"
55378What for?"
55378What is the matter now?
55378What is your reason?"
55378What time did you say you were going to meet a country train?"
55378What wages do you want?"
55378What was her motive for acting in such a strange way?
55378What was the quarrel about?"
55378What woman was ever satisfied with a husband?"
55378Where are you going?"
55378Where did you get the note?"
55378Where did you get the note?"
55378Who are you to talk to me like this?
55378Who gave it to him?"
55378Why did he not leave the country?"
55378Why did you refuse?"
55378Why do n''t you ask her?"
55378Why do you want to know?"
55378Why on earth should she steal her own jewels?
55378Why the deuce do n''t she show in town?"
55378Will you come with me, Kitty?"
55378Will you help Evan Malton?"
55378Wonder how long it will be before she breaks him?"
55378You are sure you heard the boy say that?"
55378You got it from Kitty Marchurst?"
55378You have come from the country-- you do n''t know who I am?"
55378You heard Caprice say she wo n''t go on with the case?
55378You know he has been arrested for this murder?"
55378You say I stole your diamonds?"
55378You talk about me treating my wife badly; what about you-- eh?"
55378You were at the Bon- Bon Theatre on that night?"
55378You-- you will look after my child?"
55378_ Coroner_.--"About what time was this?"
55378_ Coroner_.--"Alone?"
55378_ Coroner_.--"And yet you are a clerk in a pawnbroker''s office-- aren''t the two things rather incongruous?"
55378_ Coroner_.--"And, according to your theory, death took place about midnight?"
55378_ Coroner_.--"Are you certain of that?"
55378_ Coroner_.--"Did you notice anything peculiar about Villiers?
55378_ Coroner_.--"I believe, Mr. Stewart, you belong to the Skylarks''Club?"
55378_ Coroner_.--"It was a moonlight night, I believe?"
55378_ Coroner_.--"Was Villiers''intoxication real or feigned?"
55378_ Coroner_.--"Was the body rigid when you examined it?"
55378_ Coroner_.--"You are certain?"
55378_ Coroner_.--"You are quite sure it was twelve o''clock?"
55378_ Coroner_.--"You never went to see what it was?"
55378and you saw Villiers standing about the shop?"
55378broke in a new voice, and Stewart stepped out of an adjoining room, where he had been waiting for his friend;"what is the matter?"
55378did I?"
55378do I love any one except myself?"
55378echoed Caprice jeeringly;"and how does Mr. Fenton know?"
55378ejaculated Felix, looking after him,"our friend is the author of''Faust Upset,''I understand?"
55378exclaimed that gentleman,"where have you been?"
55378he cried fiercely;"what do you mean?"
55378he cried,"you do n''t suspect me of killing my father?"
55378muttered Lazarus, rubbing his hands together;"well, well, can you keep books?"
55378muttered Malton vindictively;"and you were going, I suppose?"
55378my dear,"looking sharply at Keith,"is this the young man you spoke of?
55378repeated Naball in amazement;"are you sure?"
55378said Keith imperturbably;"I hope you do n''t think I killed Lazarus?"
55378said Naball significantly,"you are quite certain you are not?"
55378said Naball when he read this,"was n''t I right?"
55378said Stewart, moistening his dry lips with his tongue,"can she be guilty, after all?"
55378said that astute gentleman,"you look pleased-- your letter was pleasant?"
55378said that young person, dancing into the room, holding a disreputable doll in her arms,"mumsey want Meg?"
55378she cried vehemently,"why do you say such things?
55378she muttered contemptuously,"does he think to impose on me with such tricks?
55378that''s not much guide,"replied the detective;"it''s the notes I want-- if I could only find the numbers of those notes-- where did they come from?"
55378that''s what I thought; but what proof have you?"
55378then, you think I''m guilty?"
55378what does she want, I wonder?
55378what is cash compared to love?"
55378where?"
55378why did I find Villiers with one of the jewels?
55378why keep up this transparent deception?
55378would n''t you?"
55378you are going to marry her?"
55378you love him so much as that?"
57737A warrant to arrest my husband?
57737Am I in truth awake, or have I only dreamt that Von Rosenberg is dead?
57737And a few days later he came to you for a character, telling you that he had a chance of getting into the employ of the Baron von Rosenberg?
57737And does this lady whom Mr. Crofton was to have married live at the place you call the Towers?
57737And have you any pockets, Henri?
57737And if I go, my dear Brooke-- and I''m afraid I ca n''t get out of it-- what''s to become of you?
57737And that is?
57737And the consequences to yourself?
57737And the name of that cousin to whom your uncle left his property?
57737And your father?
57737And your mamma?
57737Are all diplomatists like the Baron Von Rosenberg, I wonder?
57737Aunty, dear, do you know what day this is?
57737Brooke, what''s this confounded mess you seem to have got yourself into?
57737But can I not offer you a little refreshment after your arduous duties?
57737But madame your wife,he said presently;"may I not hope to have the pleasure of seeing her again before I take my leave?"
57737But perhaps you had some witness, perhaps some one was there at the time who saw you give the pistol to the Baron?
57737But what about pore Muster Geril, mum?
57737But what could possibly induce a man in Mr. Brooke''s position to commit such a crime?
57737But why remain in these wretched apartments? 57737 But you had one once, had you not?
57737By the way, how did you succeed in finding us out?
57737By what fiend''s trick have I been fooled?
57737By which road do you return to Beaulieu, Baron?
57737Did you hear them mention your master''s name?
57737Do I ever say that I will do a thing when I do not intend doing it?
57737Do you mean that little fellow on the grass plat who is throwing crumbs to the birds? 57737 Does your papa treat you kindly, Henri?"
57737For what purpose do you require a hansom?
57737George gone?
57737Gerald Brooke-- confound him!--But why do you ask?
57737Glad? 57737 Has it never occurred to you that any morning the newspapers may tell us that my cousin, Gerald Brooke, has been captured?
57737Has not Gerald returned yet?
57737Have you been far?
57737Have you heard that Von Rosenberg is dead, and that you are accused of having murdered him?
57737How could that happen?
57737How do you know that?
57737How found you yourself? 57737 How is it possible that I should know?"
57737I hope she has not made her inquiries in such a way as to arouse any suspicion that we are at all different from what we seem to be?
57737I say, sergeant,he whispered,"the gent do n''t seem to answer much to the printed description, does he?"
57737I suppose Mr. Crofton saw you at the same moment you saw him?
57737I-- Gerald Brooke-- whose ancestors fought at Cressy, to sink to the level of a common assassin? 57737 If I had but sent it a week ago, would Von Rosenberg be still alive?
57737If I were to go on playing, aunt, do you think that you could finish your dream?
57737If he is n''t guilty, why do n''t he show up? 57737 If it pleases me to be a fool, why not?"
57737Incredible? 57737 Is he safe, Clara?
57737Is it furnished apartments that madame requires?
57737Is that the affair about which you have come to see me?
57737Is that you, Margery?
57737Karovsky, are you mad?
57737Karovsky, have you had any hand in this?
57737May I ask the nature of it?
57737May I ask the nature of the contents of the paper in question?
57737May we hope to have the pleasure of Monsieur Karovsky''s company to dinner?
57737Mr. Gerald Brooke, commonly known by the name of Stewart?
57737Need I say that I shall be charmed?
57737News-- what news? 57737 O mum, do you think Mrs. Stewart will let me stay when I tell her?
57737O mum,she cried,"what do you think?
57737Of whom are you speaking, girl?
57737Oh, Mr. Starkie, what would you advise Gerald to do? 57737 Oh, my dear Clara, can it be possible that this dreadful-- dreadful news is true?"
57737Papa always treats me kindly.--Why should he not?
57737Pooh, man-- what is likely to have happened?
57737Que voulez- vous, cher enfant?
57737So you have not forgotten me, Henri,she said,"nor the cakes either?
57737Steph,he said,"Steph-- why, what''s amiss?"
57737Still, I can not help feeling greatly annoyed.--Is this pretty boy your son?
57737Supposing you were in his place, Mr. Starkie, what would_ you_ do?
57737Terrible news, Clara?
57737That child-- where does he come from? 57737 That''s all very well,"said Crofton;"but the question is, what are we to do now?"
57737That''s more than we know at present; we must wait for further particulars.--By the way, I wonder who and what the murdered man was? 57737 The day Pedley came to see you, do you recollect whether you left him alone in the room where the interview between you took place?"
57737The police, I suppose you mean?
57737The what is coming, Margery?
57737Then you would advise?
57737To arrest my husband?
57737To what may I attribute the honour of this visit?
57737To write my name on the paper, is that what monsieur means?
57737We want converts, Algy and I; and who knows, my dear Miss Primby, but that some day-- eh? 57737 Well?"
57737What be they going to do, mistress?
57737What can have become of Gerald?
57737What can they want to arrest him for?
57737What do you mean? 57737 What do you mean?"
57737What is it that I am called upon to do?
57737What is it?
57737What is the name of that place in the country where your uncle used to live?
57737What is this?
57737What shall I say next?
57737What would you do?
57737What would you have?
57737What''s up now, Steph?
57737Who are you, sir, and by what right do you intrude into this apartment?
57737Who is it that you have seen and heard?
57737Why did he not wait and see Gerald?
57737Why not?
57737Why should I?
57737Why should an innocent man fly?
57737Why, Margery, what can be the matter? 57737 Will you not be seated?"
57737Will you not have something to eat?
57737Will you not stay and say good- bye to the Baron?
57737Would mesdames like to behold?
57737Yes, I-- why not?
57737You are Mrs. Brooke, I suppose, ma''am?
57737You are aware that when an individual is needed to carry out any of the secret decrees of the Supreme Tribunal, that individual is drawn for by lot?
57737You know that I am in hiding; you doubtless also know that a large reward is offered for my capture?
57737You will not be gone long?
57737You will wait here till I come back, will you not?
57737''Anything serous amiss, mum?''
57737--But who, then, was the individual who so kindly spared you a necessity so painful?"
57737--The mountebank made another low sweeping bow.--"I hope that Henri is quite well?"
57737--What can he want here at this hour of the evening?"
57737A traitor had been at work, but who was he?
57737And that is?"
57737Brooke?"
57737But I hope your errand is not an unpleasant one?"
57737But can we be sure of it?
57737But how shall I begin?
57737But tell me this: ought I to feel glad, or ought I to feel sorry?
57737But will you not be seated?"
57737By whom and with what intent had fog- signals been placed on the line on a night so clear and beautiful?
57737Can anything have happened?"
57737Can it be possible that my letter never reached him?
57737Can you wonder at it, now that you leave me so much alone?"
57737Clara waited a little and then she said:"Will you not come and dress for dinner?"
57737Confess now, I am one of the last men in the world whom you thought to see here?"
57737Could any woman ever learn to love a man like the Baron?
57737Could it be possible that treachery was at work, and that the driver had been warned and the train brought to a stand?
57737Did I not mention the name before?
57737Did I tell you that I had ordered it by telegraph before leaving town?"
57737Do you think you can find your way in the dark?"
57737Does your papa never speak of her?"
57737For are there not some kinds of laughter the sources of which lie deeper than the deepest fountains of tears?
57737George Crofton shrugged his shoulders.--"Why have you not called before now?
57737Had you not, a little while ago, a groom in your service of the name of Pedley?"
57737Have you nothing to say to me?"
57737Henri, as he stood gazing after the cab, said to his father:"Are the angels as beautiful as that lady, papa?"
57737His name?"
57737How is it possible for a man fixed as I am to resist trying to make it his own?
57737How will it all end?"
57737I bought my experience in the dearest of all schools, and if I try to profit by it, who shall blame me?"
57737I did n''t see you, sir.--Why, who should I be speaking of but Muster Geril?"
57737I hope I do not intrude?"
57737I hope she is quite well?"
57737I hope that monsieur your husband finds himself quite well?"
57737I know that I shall be too nervous to say a word.--But what are you going to tell the police?"
57737I want to get to a friend''s house at Overbarrow; no doubt you can put me in the right road for doing so?"
57737Is he here with you?"
57737Is it possible, Brooke, that you can be the quarry on which they intend presently to swoop?"
57737Is it your wish to make any further statement, or is it not?"
57737Is there any one but yourselves to hear me?"
57737Is there any one here,"he demanded fiercely,"who would rather not go?"
57737Making a step forward and grasping Clara''s hand, she said in a whisper:"Is it safe to speak aloud?
57737Margery, what are you talking about?"
57737May I ask whether he is at home?"
57737My---- But why prolong a discussion that could serve no good end?
57737Our debts-- our difficulties-- our"----"Why not?"
57737Pringle?''
57737Shall I tell you what it is?
57737Shall I vaguely hint at some shadowy danger that impends over him?
57737Shall I write to him anonymously, or shall I sign the letter with my name?
57737She generally knows pretty well what she is about.--But had you not better go and meet her?"
57737She wo n''t turn me away, will she?"
57737Starkie?"
57737Suddenly a voice outside was heard calling,"Henri, Henri, où es tu?"
57737The gang were on their way already: could she overtake them, pass them unseen, and reach the signal- box before they did?
57737The only question now was, had she time to warn her husband before the attack took place?
57737The train''s waiting there, ai n''t it, not five hundred yards away?
57737Then aloud to the servant:"Where is the gentleman?"
57737Then she said:"By- the- by, what has become of darling, quaint Miss Primby?
57737Then turning to Miss Primby"You will stay here, aunt, will you not?
57737Then turning to Miss Primby:"Madame, will you oblige me by taking charge of these trifles for a little while?"
57737Then with a half- sob in her voice, she said:"But you have a sister, have you not?"
57737They had been betrayed, but by whom?
57737Think, think; is there nothing we can do?"
57737Turning to Crofton as soon as the servant had left the room, she said:"You will excuse me for a few moments, will you not?
57737Very comfortable-- hein?"
57737Was the blow she had dreaded so long about to fall at last?
57737What can be the business of importance that has brought him here?
57737What can such a man as he have done to incur so terrible a vengeance?"
57737What can that strange Monsieur Karovsky want with him?
57737What can the police be coming here for?"
57737What could be the matter?
57737What could have happened?
57737What could she, one weak woman, do to confound the machinations of six armed and desperate men?
57737What new trick are you hatching now?"
57737What object was to be gained by his capture?
57737What other girl ever had such letters written to her?"
57737What thoughts, what memories of the past, rushed through her brain as she did so?
57737What would become of my reputation as a hostess?
57737What would you have me talk about?
57737What would you have?"
57737When it came to an end she said in her iciest tones:"Was it to tell me this that you came here to- day?"
57737Where is he?"
57737Who can say?"
57737Who is he?"
57737Why do you want to see me so particularly?"
57737Why has he gone and hid himself where nobody can find him?"
57737Why not end it here and now?"
57737Why not go abroad-- on the Continent-- to America-- anywhere?
57737Why not?"
57737Why not?"
57737Will it be safe if you stay here?"
57737Would not the wisest thing he could do be to decamp while he had a chance of doing so?
57737Would you court a felon''s doom, you whose innocence will one day be proved to the world?"
57737Would you not like some more cakes to- day?"
57737Yet why, then, had they made him a prisoner?
57737Yet, on the other hand, what could be the nature of the business which took him at that late hour to a ruined cottage buried among trees?
57737You had better come and keep her in good- humour while I am getting my things on.--By- the- bye, where can our singular friends have vanished to?"
57737You have a message for me?"
57737You have no fear-- hein?"
57737You will have no objection to do so, I presume?"
57737You will never say such foolish things to me again, will you?"
57737You will not be long?
57737You wish to go over the house-- I think that is what I understood you to imply?"
57737You wo n''t mind, will you?"
57737You''ve got the description?"
57737est- il possible?"
57737in what terms shall I word my warning?"
57737mum, did n''t it make you feel all- overish- like when they went flop on their knees and asked you to marry''em?"
57737or shall I tell him in plain terms why and by whom the death sentence has been recorded against him?
57737she said to her aunt"What can have become of him?"
57737what should I have to do with such_ canaille?_"demanded the other with a shrug.
57737what will you do when I am gone?"
57737whatever can that be?"
5270A storm?
5270Again-- why do you play vampire roles, Miss Loring?
5270All ready now?
5270All set? 5270 All seven?"
5270An author on the lot at the filming of his picture, to bother the director and to change everything? 5270 And the needle?"
5270And this was the way you had the scene lighted when she dropped unconscious?
5270Any disturbance in the library?
5270Anything which might point to a motive, so that I can approach the case from both directions?
5270Are they distributed widely?
5270Are you accusing Manton of the cold- blooded murder of Stella Lamar to further various financial schemes?
5270Are you insinuating anything, Mackay?
5270Are you sure of your servants? 5270 Are you sure your deputy is n''t romancing?"
5270Are you sure?
5270As a matter of fact, Craig, why should the finding of that cigarette case be a cause for suspicion at all? 5270 But I can assume--""If you are going to assume anything, Walter, why not assume he was the second man, the man who watched the actual intruder?"
5270But can they keep it up? 5270 But how about Gordon?"
5270But is Manton himself financially sound?
5270But what of it if the film makes a big clean- up? 5270 But you have n''t identified it yet?"
5270But you were out here yesterday before the actors arrived, before Manton or any of his technical staff and crew came?
5270But, where did he get the belladonna?
5270Ca n''t you change the story about some way, so you wo n''t lose the value of her work?
5270Can it be the director''s glass?
5270Can you drop us off at the university?
5270Can you point out which one it is?
5270Can you tell me just how the antivenin counteracts the effects of the venom?
5270Can''t-- Isn''t there anyone we can say is innocent, at least, even if we can not begin to fasten the guilt upon somebody?
5270Could I have that for a few days?
5270Could death have resulted from poison administered in some other fashion, by something she had eaten, for instance?
5270Could n''t the scratch be coincidental?
5270Could you give me blood smears and some of the stomach contents, at once? 5270 Craig Kennedy?"
5270Craig,I started, eagerly,"is n''t this all unnecessary?
5270Did she change her clothes out here?
5270Did she have heart trouble?
5270Did she seem her usual self at the start of the scene?
5270Did you ever hear of Mohammed and the mountain, Miss Faye?
5270Did you ever see a print from a dupe negative? 5270 Did you find anything?"
5270Did you have any business with Stella?
5270Did you have any opportunity to talk to Miss Lamar?
5270Did you have your stands any farther back?
5270Did you learn anything else?
5270Did you leave the car then?
5270Did you make any progress?
5270Did you move at all while she was going through her part?
5270Did you notice Millard and Gordon, and now Enid and Marilyn?
5270Did you notice anything particularly out of the way, anything which might be a clue to the manner in which Miss Lamar met her death?
5270Did you notice how they acted?
5270Did you notice the terror in her face when she cried out? 5270 Did you question Manton?"
5270Did you think I expected some one to go walking around the studio scratching his hands? 5270 Did you think I was going to forget you?"
5270Did you try his office at seven hundred and twenty- nine?
5270Did you watch the people at all, Walter?
5270Did-- did you find that here?
5270Do I understand you, Phelps?
5270Do n''t you see?
5270Do n''t you want justice done?
5270Do you feel it is necessary for me to remain any longer?
5270Do you include Gordon in that?
5270Do you know Mr. Phelps''s reason?
5270Do you know anything about Miss Lamar''s death?
5270Do you know anything of a quarrel between Miss Lamar and Gordon?
5270Do you know much about the personal affairs of Miss Lamar?
5270Do you know that Enid Faye''s contract is not with Manton Pictures but with Manton himself? 5270 Do you really suspect Marilyn or Enid?"
5270Do you suppose Enid Faye suggested the use of the drug to Shirley as part of the scheme to kill him? 5270 Do you suppose anyone could have left a package in there-- a bomb, in other words?"
5270Do you suppose it was used because it was quick and was colorless, so as not to be noticed in the glass?
5270Do you suspect Manton of killing her himself?
5270Do you suspect anyone?
5270Do you think he plans something of that kind this morning?
5270Do you think, Mr. Kennedy, that the little can he told you about started the fire?
5270Do you understand now why the night intruder at Tarrytown did not die-- if he is one of our suspects-- from the scratch of the needle?
5270Do you want a ride in to the city, both of you?
5270Do you want to know what I think?
5270Do you--I guess my eyes went wide--"do you expect to dig up a dead man somewhere?
5270Do you-- do you know who it is?
5270Do you-- do you know who it is?
5270Does this mean,he asked,"that the guilty man or woman is some outsider?
5270Dupes?
5270Enid?
5270Everyone is out? 5270 Find something?"
5270For all this, what justification has he had? 5270 Germs?"
5270Granting that Gordon actually had been down there, why should the fact concern us? 5270 Had you been having any trouble?"
5270Half an hour?
5270Has the wonderful Craig Kennedy discovered something?
5270Have n''t about a dozen people described it for you already?
5270Have those other scenes come down?
5270Have you any copies of that particular film?
5270Have you any idea why the doors were open when we went through?
5270Have you any theory as to who killed her?
5270Have you forgotten little Enid altogether? 5270 Have you found out anything yet?"
5270Have you learned anything yet?
5270Have you succeeded in gleaning any facts about the life of Miss Lamar?
5270He has more than one?
5270He is n''t usually that way?
5270He''ll straighten everything up in a hurry, wo n''t he?
5270How about Shirley?
5270How about the itching salve?
5270How about the nocturnal visitor who removed the needle in the dark? 5270 How about the other spots, not the Chinese yellow?"
5270How about the''Black Terror''?
5270How about this solution?
5270How can the towel be a clue to the crime?
5270How could he have died from an overdose of the drug, when he has n''t taken any recently?
5270How could that be? 5270 How could that cause Stella''s death?"
5270How did it happen?
5270How did it work?
5270How did you get in the cellar?
5270How do you account for it yourself?
5270How do you account for the dialogue Jameson overheard?
5270How do you mean, Walter?
5270How do you mean?
5270How do you mean?
5270How do you obtain the serum in quantity?
5270How do you propose to go about things?
5270How do you suppose it got in the car?
5270How do you suppose they could all remain in the same company?
5270How does a fish swim?
5270How does he do it?
5270How does this concern me?
5270How long could it have been there?
5270How long have the other cars been here?
5270How long have you known Millard?
5270How long was the machine alone here in the yard this morning?
5270How long would it take to make a print from the scene where Shirley took the poison?
5270How recently have you seen her?
5270How''s that, Walter?
5270How?
5270I may keep these for a little bit?
5270I suppose you do n''t know Manton is behind this Fortune Features?
5270I wonder what company he got the taxi from?
5270If you can prove who the murderer is, Mr. Kennedy,he exploded,"why do n''t you apprehend him before some one else meets the fate of Werner?"
5270If you have positives,Kennedy asked,"ca n''t you make new negatives?"
5270If you have the blood of another man on your hands--What more could Kennedy want?
5270Is Millard here?
5270Is Millard here?
5270Is Professor Kennedy in?
5270Is everyone here?
5270Is he outside?
5270Is it a man-- or a woman you suspect?
5270Is it necessary to sit back and wait for this unknown to strike again?
5270Is it off with the old and on with the new? 5270 Is it something you can tell me?"
5270Is n''t it hell?
5270Is n''t it possible,I suggested,"that this is a plant; that the tube was put there deliberately, to throw us off the track?"
5270Is n''t there something we can do, Kennedy?
5270Is that all?
5270Is there anything I can do to- night?
5270Is this the largest portion of the room they used?
5270Is this the usual thing or-- or an exception?
5270Is this the way they carry on in the picture world, Walter?
5270It could n''t be broken, by being trampled on?
5270It has been-- it has been in the washroom ever since poor Stella''s death?
5270Just how does the venom act?
5270Just what do you mean, then?
5270Just when do you suppose Stella was pricked?
5270Just who approached closely to Miss Lamar in the making of that thirteenth scene? 5270 Manton has other writers, has n''t he?"
5270Manton? 5270 Marilyn Loring?"
5270May I speak to you a moment, Professor Kennedy-- alone?
5270Millard?
5270Millard?
5270Miss Lamar was''up- stage''?
5270Mr. Phelps is interested in the company?
5270No?
5270Not to save money?
5270Now what connection has the towel with the case? 5270 Now what?"
5270Now--?
5270One of those samples should correspond, I suppose, to the trace of blood on the portieres?
5270Outside?
5270Perhaps you know also that things have n''t been going just right with Manton Pictures?
5270Ready to run the negative?
5270Remember once telling me you wanted to become a director, that you wanted to make pictures for me?
5270Remember that can of undeveloped stuff, a two- hundred roll?
5270Shall I make the collar?
5270Shall I show you the way again?
5270She made a fool of me, and-- and I was engaged to Marilyn Loring--"Were engaged? 5270 Shirley?"
5270Shirley?
5270Some other poison as rare and little known as the snake venom?
5270Stella? 5270 Suppose I start out while you''re busy and try to dig up some more facts about these people?"
5270Tell me all you know about him?
5270Tell me just what happened?
5270Tell me, have you discovered something? 5270 That was the venom?"
5270That''s a theatrical word for cussedness, is n''t it?
5270That''s all you know about Gordon?
5270The camera men, the extras, the technical and studio staffs-- they are not worthy of consideration, are they?
5270The fight with Phelps was over money?
5270The finger- nail files should show a trace of the itching salve? 5270 The mark was n''t made by the needle which scratched her, then?"
5270The negative of that snake picture is here, you said?
5270The three of you were here at the time, were n''t you?
5270The use of the itching salve was unnecessary?
5270Their visits may have been perfectly innocent?
5270Then the apple juice they used for the wine was bad, spoiled?
5270Then what was it? 5270 Then--?"
5270There has been no real trouble between you?
5270There was a second man, and--"A second man?
5270This antivenin was your product, doctor?
5270Understand?
5270Was Stella Lamar making any trouble, of a business nature, such as threatening to quit Manton Pictures?
5270Was anyone, any of those on our list of possible suspects at least, alone in the room-- or in the house?
5270Was n''t he the murderer of the father, also?
5270Was that all you called me out here for? 5270 Was the place guarded well last night?"
5270Was there anything suspicious at that time?
5270Was--Kennedy framed his question carefully--"was your infatuation for Miss Lamar of long duration?"
5270Well, has any regular stuff been brought to you to put away; anything which might have hidden an explosive?
5270Well, how goes it?
5270Well, if it was not an attempt at murder, what was it?
5270Well,he exclaimed,"I do n''t suppose it occurred to any of you SCIENTIFIC guys to search the fellow, now did it?"
5270Were all the scenes in which Miss Lamar appeared before her death in this corner of the room?
5270Were there rattlers in the film?
5270Were you away from the car at Tarrytown?
5270Were you here the night before the murder?
5270Were you watching the taking of the scenes?
5270What about the deputy posted outside?
5270What about the story? 5270 What are they?"
5270What are you driving at, anyway?
5270What are you going to do?
5270What became of the locket about the girl''s neck? 5270 What can Pentangle do for you?
5270What did Marilyn Loring want? 5270 What did the intruder look like?"
5270What did you do with orders like that, such as the one you claim came with the can of undeveloped negative?
5270What do we find?
5270What do you know about Fortune Features?
5270What do you make of it, offhand?
5270What do you make of that?
5270What do you make of the feeling between the different people?
5270What do you mean by tangled motives?
5270What do you mean by that?
5270What do you mean, Jameson?
5270What do you mean?
5270What do you mean?
5270What do you mean?
5270What do you mean?
5270What do you think caused the death?
5270What do you think of her?
5270What do you think of this, Craig?
5270What do you think?
5270What do you wish me to do, Miss Loring?
5270What does it do?
5270What does it mean?
5270What happened?
5270What have these little marks to do with that?
5270What if you do have to wear a bandage around your head? 5270 What is Manton up to?"
5270What is it, Miss Faye?
5270What is it?
5270What is that?
5270What is the invisible menace of which you spoke, Craig?
5270What is the little fact? 5270 What is the story you are making?
5270What is the trouble with Manton Pictures?
5270What is''Fortune Features''?
5270What symptoms did you observe?
5270What then?
5270What was Mr. Shirley down there for, Miss Loring?
5270What was it you wanted to say?
5270What was she supposed to do in the very first scene? 5270 What''s an actor doing down in the film vaults?"
5270What''s that?
5270What''s the idea, Craig?
5270What''s the idea?
5270What-- what''s happened?
5270What?
5270What?
5270When did you close the vaults?
5270When was this?
5270Where are the dressing rooms?
5270Where are the first- aid kits?
5270Where can I find Manton now?
5270Where can I hire about a dozen good men to hang around and watch-- and-- and help you get to the bottom of this?
5270Where did you say Wagnalls went?
5270Where is Millard? 5270 Where''s Wagnalls?"
5270Where-- where did you find it?
5270Which is--?
5270Who are they?
5270Who could have been in the washroom just before me?
5270Who else entered the scene besides Gordon?
5270Who else is in the building here?
5270Who has been in the set since I left with the doctor?
5270Who is Werner?
5270Who is it?
5270Who killed her?
5270Who rode in your car yesterday?
5270Who shall I say was here, sah?
5270Who was in the cast, Mr. Werner? 5270 Who was it?
5270Who were the various callers?
5270Who''s the second girl, I wonder?
5270Who-- who do you want present in the projection room?
5270Whom did he see hanging around?
5270Why Jacques''?
5270Why could n''t you just put it somewhere without all the preparation,Mackay suggested,"and watch to see who came after it?"
5270Why did you come to see me this morning? 5270 Why did you leave?
5270Why did you wish the scenes in''The Black Terror''actually taken in your library?
5270Why did you wish these scenes photographed out here?
5270Why do you''vamp''?
5270Why should Jack Gordon, the leading man, be down there?
5270Why upon Gordon?
5270Why were you taking these scenes out here?
5270Why?
5270Why?
5270Why?
5270Why?
5270Why?
5270Why?
5270Will I be unable to act before the camera any more?
5270Will it make a scar?
5270Will the antivenin show in the blood after four, perhaps five days?
5270Will they do justice to your work,Kennedy inquired,"putting you in a partially finished picture in this way?"
5270Will you arrange to keep the people I have yet to question separate from the ones I have examined already?
5270Will you be able to help me, to stay with Jameson and myself all day?
5270Will you describe just what happened?
5270Will you do it for me, Kauf?
5270Will you have Miss Loring next?
5270Will you lend me a pocket knife for a moment?
5270Will-- will you be able to save him, Professor?
5270Wo n''t you phone me sometime? 5270 Would anyone have time to do it?"
5270Would n''t it have been easier and cheaper in the long run to reproduce it in the studio?
5270Would n''t some pigment, some color, have served the purpose better?
5270Would you care to go down to the negative vaults with me?
5270Yes, Huroki?
5270Yes?
5270Yes?
5270Yes?
5270Yes?
5270You are familiar with the script of''The Black Terror,''are n''t you? 5270 You are responsible for the trouble between Miss Lamar and Gordon, then?"
5270You are sure you have missed nothing?
5270You brought the three to the studio here?
5270You can see that Manton''s the logical man?
5270You do n''t think the poison was planted later during the excitement?
5270You expect to find the blood of one of those people showing traces of the antivenin?
5270You have a sample of each article of food now?
5270You have had no trouble, no disagreements recently?
5270You have no hypothesis?
5270You have no more description than of the first man?
5270You have the bag and all the evidence?
5270You have used them, though?
5270You know nothing of her difficulties with her husband?
5270You mean something by that, do n''t you?
5270You mean, then, that you may be attacked yourself? 5270 You played the millionaire yourself?"
5270You recognize me, McGroarty, the chauffeur as found the little bottle?
5270You remember that my deputy heard the sound of a departing automobile? 5270 You say she only pretended to be cool?"
5270You say you were just trying to get me, Mackay? 5270 You simply want to assure me of his innocence?"
5270You suspected something of this kind, then, when you first examined Stella Lamar?
5270You think Miss Lamar was n''t as bad as painted?
5270You think they are the most likely suspects?
5270You think this has something to do with the case?
5270You think, then, she was scratched deliberately by some one during the taking of the scenes?
5270You were engaged to her?
5270You were not here the night before the murder, then?
5270You''ll excuse us?
5270You''ll say nothing of this?
5270You''re going to plant the towel,I asked,"so that the interested party will try to get hold of it?"
5270You-- you want to project the NEGATIVE?
5270All the other things point to him, do n''t they?"
5270Am I right?"
5270And had Phelps in insane passion revenged himself on her?
5270And who had been involved?
5270But what of him?
5270Ca n''t you see it?
5270Ca n''t you see that Shirley is the guilty man?
5270Can you see that if Manton Pictures fails the Fortune company will be able to pick up the studio and all the equipment for a song?
5270Could Enid, by any chance, be concerned in that?
5270Could Gordon''s debts have any bearing upon the case?
5270Could Werner have been at Tarrytown?
5270Could he prefer deliberate murder to granting her her freedom?
5270Could it be possible that Millard was unwilling, after all, to surrender her?
5270Did n''t she?"
5270Did she think him dead?
5270Did you just want to show me the pinholes in those portieres?"
5270Did you see the reference to stabilizing the industry?
5270Do you follow me?"
5270Do you get that?"
5270Do you realize that there is n''t room both for this older company and the new Fortune Features?
5270Do you want it?"
5270Does n''t it make you laugh, what the public think he is-- clean- cut, hero, and all that sort of thing?
5270G.''?"
5270Had Kennedy, after all, some knowledge of motion pictures stored away with his vast fund of general and unusual information?
5270Had Manton taken fright in earnest at the possibility of fire, or had he given his employees a genuine scare?
5270Had Stella broken him?
5270Had Stella received an injection of some new and curious substance?
5270Had Werner known we were coming for him?
5270Had an attempt been made yet to steal it from the locker?
5270Had he been watching us?
5270Had he forgotten?
5270Had he thought to bring about his own end in the most spectacular fashion possible?
5270Had that constant high tension forced him to find relief in the most violent relaxation?
5270Had the mystery been solved?
5270Had there been another encounter with fists?
5270Has n''t he been eliminated from our calculations as surely as the man slain yesterday?"
5270Have n''t you noticed how stockily and powerfully the director is built?"
5270Have they the money?"
5270Have you discovered any possible clue?
5270He''s been trying to hold up the company for fifteen hundred a week, which would double his salary-- perhaps you''ve heard that?"
5270How could he, really loving her, think of such things as the make- up left on his face, or his clothes?
5270How could the deductive method produce results in a case as mysterious as this?
5270How did you uncover his trail?"
5270How far are you going?"
5270How would anyone know where her arm would be?"
5270How would you like to finish the direction?"
5270However, I reflected, if Stella had chosen to play the little fool, why should Millard have allowed that to ruin his own chances?
5270I thought perhaps the heat--""You saw nothing suspicious,"interrupted Kennedy,"nothing in the actions or manner of anyone in the room?"
5270I thought quickly, then inquired;"Could it be the snake venom again?"
5270I-- I wonder if belladonna would n''t brighten them up a bit and-- well, get you by, for to- day?"
5270III TANGLED MOTIVES"Do you wish to examine the people now?"
5270IX WHITE- LIGHT SHADOWS"What do you think of it?"
5270If Manton Pictures goes up, then he will have to swing her into Fortune Features-- the other Manton enterprise, do n''t you see?"
5270If Shirley had taken you into his confidence, for instance--?"
5270If it was Werner, how do you account for the fact that he is still alive?"
5270In fact, did n''t Enid make her agreement with Manton personally?
5270Is Phelps to be cast aside like a squeezed- out lemon, and Leigh taken on for a new citrus fruit?"
5270Is n''t it enough?"
5270Is n''t it funny?"
5270Is n''t that likely to be the director?
5270Is that correct, Craig?"
5270Is that still your answer?"
5270Is there any trouble between Manton and yourself?"
5270Is there anything at all I can do to help?"
5270Is there some clue to the guilty man?"
5270Is there some one we suspect and have n''t seen since yesterday?"
5270Is there something I can do?"
5270It''s a masked ball, is n''t it?
5270Jameson?"
5270Kennedy''s face was noncommittal,"Why do you say that?"
5270Kennedy?"
5270Kennedy?"
5270Kennedy?"
5270Kennedy?"
5270Kennedy?"
5270Kennedy?"
5270Manton?"
5270Manton?"
5270Manton?"
5270Manton?"
5270Merle Shirley?"
5270Millard?"
5270Now who, out of all our people with possible motives, are intelligent enough and clever enough to be guilty?"
5270On a chance I went on, with a knowing smile,"I guess it was pretty late when he came in last night?"
5270Phelps?"
5270Phelps?"
5270Remember the action of the script?"
5270Shirley?"
5270Shirley?"
5270Suppose, after all, Werner should return home unexpectedly?
5270Tell me, do you like little Enid?"
5270Tell me, have you found anything?
5270Tell me, what''s your first name?"
5270That was built for Stella, was n''t it?"
5270That''s the experience of any girl who rises to a position of prominence and--""How were the relations between Miss Lamar and yourself?"
5270Then Manton was n''t talking for effect when he told Miss Faye that the company was broke?"
5270Understand?"
5270Was Manton framing up the same sort of game again on Leigh?
5270Was he connected in some way with the vague mystery Kennedy seemed to sense in connection with the basement and the film vaults?
5270Was he trying to be witty at Manton''s expense?
5270Was it because the thought of poison reminded him of the two deaths so close to him, or was it from some more potent twinge of conscience?
5270Was it blackmail Stella had levied on Phelps, I wondered?
5270Was it due to the high pressure of his profession?
5270Was n''t an attempt made to kill him just now?
5270Was n''t it evident that he was considered as dangerous to the unknown as Werner, the director?
5270Was she taking from him to give to Gordon?
5270Was she the real cause of the tangle in his affairs?
5270Was that terror, really?
5270Was this a case of suicide?
5270Was this another clue?
5270Was this the fancy of a drug- weakened brain?
5270We was lookin''at it because it was on the varnish and the butler he says--""Where''s the locket?"
5270Well, I do n''t like the way the heavy man Mr. Werner had--""Shirley?
5270What I wonder is, was Marilyn as jealous of Stella as her screen character would make her in a story?
5270What good did it do?
5270What is it?"
5270What was the poison that killed Stella Lamar?"
5270What was the use of disputing the matter?
5270What were they playing and just exactly what was each doing at the time of Miss Lamar''s collapse?"
5270What, I wondered, was Phelps telephoning here for?
5270Who could the self- constituted watcher have been?
5270Who had struck down an innocent man to save a guilty neck?
5270Who possessed such amazing callousness that an exhibition of this sort brought no outcry?
5270Who was interested in this case other than the proper authorities?
5270Who was near enough to have inflicted a wound, or to have subjected her, suppose we say, to the fumes of some subtle poison?"
5270Who was the guilty person?
5270Who-- who is Larry, I wonder?"
5270Why did you wait for''The Black Terror''?"
5270Why go over to McCann''s in business hours?"
5270Why not at the studio?
5270Why not cancel Lamar contract after"Black Terror,"if she continues up- stage?
5270Why should he wreck Manton Pictures, you ask?
5270Why?
5270Why?
5270Will you lunch Tuesday at the P. G. tearoom?
5270Will you superintend the assembly of the scenes, so that you can be sure nothing is taken out or omitted?"
5270With all these troubles, how could he pilot us about?
5270Won''t-- won''t YOU come down and dance?"
5270Would you like to come along?"
5270XII EMERY PHELPS"There-- there is something the matter with the curtains?"
5270XXI MERLE SHIRLEY OVERACTS Appalled, I wondered who it was who had, to cover up one crime, committed another?
5270You are sure everybody is safe?"
5270You had heard?"
5270You know how it is?"
5270You saw it?
5270You''ve got a monk''s cowl over everything but your features, have n''t you?"
5270You''ve heard of Fortune Features, perhaps?"
5270You''ve heard of him, the greatest villain ever known to the films?
5270You''ve something to tell me and you want me to come right out-- you have summoned Phelps and he''s on his way from the city also--?"
5270he asked,"to get a hang- nail?"
5270or ask me for a dance?"
50705About your finding the blood- spotted clothes in Mr. Osborne''s trunk?
50705Ah, I thought perhaps-- when was that?
50705Ah, but the lace? 50705 Ah, stolen?"
50705Ah,said the other with a new note of sternness in his voice,"who but the murderer?
50705Ah; then you would know if she had an enemy?
50705Ah?... 50705 An innocent man, Furneaux?"
50705And Mr. Osborne''s dagger and flint-- where do they come in?
50705And all the proofs I have gathered against-- against someone else-- all these are false?
50705And did you see Mr. Osborne that evening?
50705And how can Janoc know where Osborne is, or his assumed name, to write to him?
50705And on what charge, pray, have you collared Janoc?
50705And the inference?
50705And the lady''s address?
50705And these, Miss Prout?
50705And to throw dust in my eyes-- in the eyes of your superior officer-- you inked it out again?
50705And what was the nature of the business on which you called to see him?
50705And when you and Pauline went out to the Exhibition you left him with your mistress, you say?
50705And where has Mr. Osborne gone to?
50705And why not, sir? 50705 And you are sure of the date when you first missed it from its place in the museum?"
50705And you are unable to conceive how both the dagger and the celt could have vanished from their places about that time?
50705And you first noticed that it was gone-- when?
50705And you swear to me, Miss Seward,he said gravely,"that that very man was with your mistress in her flat on the evening of the murder?"
50705Any visitors? 50705 Anything wrong?"
50705Anyway, Rosalind is not a relative, to your knowledge?
50705Are there others, then?
50705Are these your daggers?
50705Are you anywhere about, Winter?
50705Are you astonished?
50705Are you glad now?
50705Are you here, Furneaux?
50705Are you ill, sir?
50705Are you in earnest?
50705At any rate, he is not here now?
50705At any rate,he said,"her life during the past nine months has been an open book to you?"
50705At what hour, as nearly as you can recollect?
50705Aunt''s name Rosalind?
50705But Janoc-- listen-- the lady----"Lady?
50705But Osborne''s movements last night are so clearly defined?
50705But a spirit the worse for drink?
50705But have n''t we the clearest testimony as to Osborne''s movements?
50705But how about this fair Rosalind?
50705But how on earth could that concern you, the depth or shallowness of my affection for Miss Marsh?
50705But is it a bargain, now? 50705 But seriously,"she heard Osborne say,"what is your opinion of a love so apparently fickle and flighty as this of Osborne''s?"
50705But what were_ you_ doing in the Fraternal Club, anyhow? 50705 But when-- where----?"
50705But who put''em there?
50705But why-- in Heaven''s name?
50705But why_ now_?
50705But you are with him?
50705But you have no grounds for such a belief? 50705 But you, little man, what do_ you_ say?"
50705But, Rosalind----"What? 50705 But, man alive!--don''t drive me distracted,"cried out Winter;"what are you talking about?"
50705But, mother darling, you shall come with me-- there are lives at stake----"Of what avail are two women against creatures like these Anarchists?
50705By the way, Jenkins, is this Mr. Furneaux''s first visit here?--or do n''t you remember?
50705By the way, do you know that you have been condemned to death?
50705Can I help it?
50705Can any stranger enter the Mansions without telling you their business?
50705Could I refuse to arrest her? 50705 Could she have had any powerful reason for changing her plans?"
50705Did n''t I tell you, sir----?
50705Did n''t you say that I have all the bad qualities of the Latin temperament?
50705Did she expect any visitor after your departure?
50705Did they intend to?
50705Did this girl, the housemaid, open the door when you left?
50705Did you bring it?
50705Did you dance?
50705Did you dress for dinner?
50705Did_ they_ kill her?
50705Do n''t you even know where Miss Rosalind Marsh is?
50705Do n''t you like it?
50705Do we intimately know anyone? 50705 Do what?
50705Do you by chance know anything of her whereabouts?
50705Do you know any of the Anarchist crowd with those initials, sir?
50705Do you know who this Rose de Bercy really is?
50705Do you live at Tormouth?
50705Do you not say so in that letter? 50705 Do you promise?"
50705Do you, then, suspect this girl of having-- of being-- the guilty hand, Inspector Furneaux?
50705Dusk, you call it? 50705 For your sake?
50705Free?
50705From her grave?
50705From whom?
50705Got anything of importance?
50705Had my letter?
50705Hanged?
50705Has Mr. Osborne sent you as his ambassador?
50705Has anybody been gloating over Mr. Osborne''s arrest?
50705Have they come to make an arrest?
50705Have you been to Mr. Furneaux''s residence?
50705Have you spoken to Mr. Osborne_ since_ then about the matter on which you called to see him that evening?
50705Have you telephoned to any of the district stations?
50705How can you be certain that it was part of her dress?
50705How can you possibly know all this?
50705How did he know your address, if he did not open the letter?
50705How did you manage it? 50705 How do you know that I am in a disguise?"
50705How long has that stiletto been lying there?
50705How long have you known her?
50705How were you dressed when you visited Miss de Bercy that afternoon?
50705How----?
50705I arrest you----"Oh, what''s the good, Clarke? 50705 I do n''t wish to seem wanting in respect, sir,"he said doggedly,"but have you forgotten the diary?
50705I suppose the young lady was in a carriage and surrounded by a crowd? 50705 I suppose you made no inquiries as to her past life?"
50705I suppose you see now that it would have been wiser had you done something of the kind?
50705I thought he was rich? 50705 I thought you went to the Empire Theater?"
50705I was sure that Pauline had mistaken the instructions----"Where is the St. Petersburg letter?
50705I''ll keep my eye on_ him_.... What was he doing talking like that--_so earnest_--to the actress''s cook? 50705 In what passage?
50705Intimately known him?
50705Is he in the room?
50705Is his every step, then, spied on in this fashion?
50705Is it fitting that we should be here? 50705 Is it good- by?"
50705Is it pity? 50705 Is it that you think I may relent and let you free, lady, because my heart weakens at your suffering?
50705Is it?
50705Is that all?
50705Is that so, sir?
50705Is that the Tor?
50705Is that the_ Daily Gazette_?... 50705 Is that why you are so anxious, because he is rich?"
50705Is this well for_ her_? 50705 It is for me you wait-- yes?"
50705It is mine, too,said the other;"now, could you give me a seat in your conveyance?"
50705Janoc?
50705Lady,he said presently,"you still remain fixed in your obstinacy?"
50705Look at that moon-- are not our hearts still sensible to its seductive influences? 50705 May I ask how you ascertained that fact?"
50705May I not be allowed to examine it?
50705May I-- see that letter?
50705Meaning the housekeeper, the driver of the taxicab, and the housemaid at Feldisham Mansions?
50705Miss Marsh?
50705Miss Marsh?
50705Monsieur, my sister?
50705Monsieur,faltered the girl,"I-- I----""You took the guilt on your shoulders in order to shield your brother?"
50705Mr. Osborne, it would seem, has-- read it? 50705 Mr. Osborne-- I warn you-- I can not endure-- any rival----""Who ca n''t?
50705Mrs.,he said,"not Miss?"
50705My Rosalind-- imprisoned in a wine- cellar?
50705My brain says,''You are foolish-- why not believe your eyes, your ears?'' 50705 My good girl,"he said,"are you going to be reasonable?"
50705Named?
50705No news of Mr. Furneaux anywhere? 50705 No?
50705No? 50705 Now, Mr. Osborne,"he said,"will you kindly tell me if it is true that you were about to marry Mademoiselle de Bercy?"
50705Now, how can I tell that?
50705Now, how you know?
50705Now, what in the world is the matter?
50705Now, what sort of something?--can''t you say?
50705Now, will you kindly walk slowly up again, reeling somewhat, as if you were on the verge of collapse after undergoing a tremendous strain?
50705Now-- how_ you_ know it was_ lace_?
50705Oh, I!--What do I care what forty millions of vermin choose to say or think?
50705Oh, yes, sir; if that is Miss Prout she''s the very image----Now, who would have believed it?
50705Oh, you do?
50705Oh,_ you''ve_ got somebody, too, have you?
50705Oh? 50705 Oh?"
50705Perhaps you have n''t studied their history?
50705Perhaps you would n''t mind letting me see your papers?
50705Quarreling-- in French? 50705 Seen anybody?"
50705Shall I bring some fresh coffee and an egg?
50705Shall I not be permitted to see Rupert?
50705So Janoc must have written to him in your name?
50705So bad as that?
50705So it is to talk to me about another woman that you have come? 50705 So that was why you left the Exhibition-- to kill that poor woman, Pauline Dessaulx?"
50705So you knew Mr. Osborne_ before_ the murder?
50705So, then, you will not be guided by me in this?
50705So, then, you_ have_ discovered something?
50705So,she said to Furneaux as she put out her hand,"you wo n''t let me know where Mr. Osborne is?
50705Something has caused me to wish to ask you-- do you know Mr. Osborne''s relatives?
50705Something more important than a society murder?
50705Strange, if true,he said;"why should Osborne kill the woman he meant to marry?"
50705Sulphate of potash?
50705Sure? 50705 That is my name for one moment, sare,"said Janoc politely in a very peculiar though fluent English:"and the yours, sare?"
50705The Anarchists?
50705The Rose Queen of a village fête eight years ago?
50705The fact is----"Oh, she was here? 50705 The whole note?"
50705Then she may have fancied that you took your departure much later?
50705Then, where did you get that bit of lace? 50705 Then, why was the stiletto not found in the flat?"
50705There''s no touching up of Osborne, is there?
50705To the Vaudeville?
50705True,said Osborne--"in the eyes of the world, in a formal way: but in the eyes of those near to me?
50705Un bock pour vous, m''sieur?
50705Was it this same stiletto that I have described to you that the murder was done with?
50705Was it?
50705Was not Mr. Osborne her lover? 50705 Was not the weapon, then, found in the unfortunate woman''s flat?"
50705Was she? 50705 We will take it, then, that, assuming there were two men, the one was so much like the other that you swear it was either Mr. Osborne or his double?"
50705Weary of emotions, then?
50705Well, is it a bargain?
50705Well, they were used in war and the chase, were n''t they? 50705 Well, we must be making a move to do something-- first, have you breakfasted?"
50705Well, what news of Miss Marsh?
50705Well,she said jauntily,"are you convinced?"
50705Well?
50705Were both letters addressed to correspondents in America?
50705West coast? 50705 What choice had I in the matter?"
50705What concern is it of_ yours_?
50705What do you mean?
50705What do you want?
50705What has happened to implicate me now more than before?
50705What is Antonio doing with Osborne''s lady secretary?
50705What is he doing here?
50705What is it all about, Miss Prout? 50705 What is it, sir?"
50705What is it, then?
50705What is it?
50705What is that--''_converse_''?
50705What is the matter?
50705What is your theory of this affair?
50705What lady?
50705What name did he give?
50705What of Rosalind?
50705What shall I tell her?
50705What station shall I bring your luggage to, sir?
50705What was I to do?
50705What was I to think?
50705What was the precise object of your visit on Tuesday?
50705What wrong?
50705What you guess?
50705What, do n''t you like the truth?
50705What, have you_ forgotten_?
50705When?
50705Where did you lunch?
50705Where do you live? 50705 Where to?"
50705Whether this girl committed that murder with her own hand or not----"But how_ could_ she? 50705 Which is more likely?
50705Who are you, then, Ruski?
50705Who else? 50705 Who has taken my place-- Clarke?"
50705Who has?
50705Who is it? 50705 Who is the driver?"
50705Who is there?
50705Who is''Rosalind''?
50705Who, then, is this''certain girl, whose love Mr. Osborne has inspired,''if one may ask?
50705Who, then, may''Rosalind''be?
50705Who, then?
50705Who? 50705 Why are those two shadowing a couple of ladies, and sneaking on each other as well?"
50705Why creep up in that stealthy fashion?
50705Why did n''t you speak sooner? 50705 Why did she telephone to Lady Knox- Florestan at 7.30 and plead illness as an excuse for not coming to the dinner?"
50705Why do you say that?
50705Why is he-- invisible?
50705Why not?
50705Why not?
50705Why not?
50705Why should I arrest you, sir?
50705Why should it, Furneaux?
50705Why so excessively odd?
50705Why to me?
50705Why, did n''t I tell you that he did n''t write to me?
50705Why, precisely?
50705Why, then, have you liberated Janoc and his sister?
50705Why-- what stone?
50705Why? 50705 Why?"
50705Will he?--to please you?
50705Will it meet your convenience if I have everything ready by two o''clock?
50705Will she return soon?
50705Will you allow me to carry something for you? 50705 Wo n''t you have another cigar?"
50705Wonder what?
50705Would anyone except yourself and Lady Knox- Florestan be aware of that arrangement?
50705Would you mind if I sat down for a minute or so?
50705Would you mind telling me, sir, how you managed to get hold of''em?
50705Yes, I am sure enough, but----"But what?
50705Yes, and the dagger found that she did it with----"The dagger?
50705Yes, it leads where?
50705Yes, sir, but will you please remember to pack the clothes you are now wearing into a parcel, and post them to me this evening?
50705Yes, why?
50705Yes,answered Osborne,"have you seen it?"
50705Yes; do n''t you know? 50705 Yet you gave it to Mr. Clarke without any demur?"
50705You are full of statements, Miss Prout,said Furneaux with an inclination of the head;"what is it, now, that poisons my mind against that gentleman?"
50705You are the lady I am searching for, the mistress of the young girl Pauline Dessaulx, is it not? 50705 You are there....""You feel better now?"
50705You believe, then, that you may find her----?
50705You confess that you killed Rose de Bercy on the night of the 3d of July at Feldisham Mansions?
50705You did not change your clothing before going to the Ritz Hotel?
50705You even advise me to adopt an alias?
50705You have heard of Rupert Osborne, then?
50705You have the daggers-- yes?
50705You have, have you?
50705You mean that?
50705You remember the lady''s- maid, Pauline, the girl who could n''t be found to give evidence at the inquest? 50705 You say that Mr. Furneaux was her husband?
50705You see now that you might be mistaken when you said you saw Mr. Osborne on that evening?
50705You seem to harp on Osborne''s connection with the affair?
50705You still cling to the shrieking housemaid-- to her ravings, I mean?
50705You told her_ what_?
50705You want to be my friend, then, after all?
50705You were with your friends during the whole time between 6.30 p.m. and midnight?
50705You were-- where?
50705You will say nothing to me?
50705You will swear that that is the man?
50705You''ll see_ me_ hanged? 50705 Your first visit to Tormouth, I think?"
50705_ Did_ you write to Mr. Osborne, asking that question?
5070512?"
50705A brother?
50705A glitter came into her eyes, and the unspoken thought was voiced in eloquent gesture:"What, following him so soon?"
50705After a time, without opening her eyes, she asked:"What proofs have they?"
50705After what you have told me?"
50705Again the Russian gazed at the unexpected little phenomenon, and his voice rumbled:"What is that--''chuck it''?"
50705Ah, where is Pauline Dessaulx?
50705American?
50705And Mrs. Bates''s other name-- I-- forget it?"
50705And Osborne killed her-- yes?"
50705And at once now, with a little start, he asked:"What, by the way, is the name of the servant who has had the hysteria?"
50705And if you are not tolerant, who will be?
50705And if you have the dagger, what help do you want from me?
50705And in that one moment you became quite sure that it was Mr. Osborne?
50705And suppose any apparent eagerness of his to rid himself of it should be regarded as compromising?
50705And there were_ two_ daggers buried, not one...."Where does_ this_ come in, this_ second_ dagger...?"
50705And was it you who wrote me the anonymous information that he was not Glyn but Osborne?"
50705And was not Mr. Furneaux her-- husband?"
50705And when you reached the top of the kitchen stairs you saw his back on the house stairs-- at the bottom?
50705And where is the dagger?"
50705And who is this detective who made the arrests?
50705And yet Winter hesitated.... What had been Furneaux''s motive?
50705Any news?"
50705Any odd circumstance in that way?"
50705Appeal?
50705Are not the police_ quite_ convinced yet of Mr. Osborne''s innocence, Inspector Furneaux?"
50705Are you satisfied?"
50705Are you sure of the hour-- five to eight?"
50705Are you sure you are not injured?"
50705Are you sure?
50705Are you willing?"
50705As to the bit of lace----""How you_ know_ it was lace?"
50705At least you do not deny that I am intelligent?"
50705At what exact_ hour_ about would that be?"
50705At what hour, by the way, does she say that she thought she saw him here?"
50705Besides, she was here yesterday----""Rosalind?"
50705Briavels''now?"
50705But I should feel her presence in the blackest----""Mr. Osborne-- I must beg-- do not make your declarations to_ me_----""May I not?
50705But a prisoner-- in what hole of blackness?
50705But could a poor woman be so unlucky?
50705But how achieve the apparently impossible?
50705But if you have not seen his statement already, how did_ you_ come to know that Miss de Bercy was Mirabel Armaud?"
50705But she was at the inquest----""Indeed?
50705But since you did not kill her, how on earth did you get hold of that piece of her dress?"
50705But then came the disturbing thought-- suppose it had been put into his bag as a trap?
50705But to his own mind he was saying:"Why in the world did Furneaux refuse to meet this nice young fellow?
50705But was he quite ready?
50705But what is the matter with me to- day?
50705But what reason had you for thinking that he was playing in that particular mood?"
50705But where are they to be found?
50705But where on earth did you come across this diary?"
50705But why should Janoc think that_ you_ particularly are interested in knowing?
50705But why should one steal a weapon to commit a murder?
50705But would n''t you prefer Epping Forest on a day like this?
50705But, then, by whom?"
50705Ca n''t you understand?
50705Can one----?"
50705Come, Miss Marsh-- what do you say now?
50705Could he be mistaken as to Janoc?
50705Could you not have told me yourself?
50705Dared she say"Yes,"or must she persist in self- accusation?
50705Do n''t you see how she is suffering for your sake?
50705Do we intimately know ourselves?"
50705Do you know who that mistress was?
50705Do you like solitude, Inspector Furneaux?
50705Do you mean because he saw you pick up the lace?"
50705Do you understand?
50705Do you understand?
50705Do you?"
50705Does the girl say any such thing?"
50705Dreams?"
50705East coast?"
50705Even now, I fancy, you mean to attend the funeral to- morrow?"
50705Ever saw him the worse for drink before?"
50705For the murder?"
50705Furneaux?"
50705Glyn-- yes?"
50705Glyn?"
50705Had the lady who had just called left any parcel, or any weapon for Mr. Furneaux?
50705Has she discovered the loss of the daggers?
50705Has she fled?"
50705Have you dined?"
50705Have you eaten anything?"
50705Have you ever seen the Monna Lisa in the Louvre?"
50705Have you not heard of such things as accomplices?
50705He even thought the contents of sufficient importance to repeat them to his typist?
50705He had honest eyes-- had she not whispered it many a time to her heart?
50705He spun round to Mrs. Marsh:"Has your daughter undergone anything to upset her at home lately?"
50705Here am I, charged with guilt, conscious of innocence----""Let us suppose all that, but are you a man free to make declarations of love?
50705How can you dream of running fresh risk of meeting those terrible beings who have already wreaked their vengeance on you?"
50705How could it have got into his bag?
50705How could you possibly know that I promised to marry Miss Prout?"
50705How dare you call me Rosalind?"
50705How did your coat get torn?
50705How is it possible that I should tell you?"
50705How on earth come you to be here, Émile Janoc?"
50705How will you manage about my other things?"
50705I shall be most happy-- if I may-- if you will deign----""How long have you been here now?"
50705I suppose Clarke wants to arrest him?"
50705I suppose you asked him?"
50705I suppose you can leave some person in charge of your affairs?"
50705I tell_ you_--yet to whom should I tell it but to you?"
50705I think a man was in the cab with her----""A man, you say?"
50705I think you are interested in the disappearance of Miss Marsh?
50705I understand, Mr. Osborne, that you have given instructions to the undertaker?"
50705I want to ask you one other question: Why did you leave the Exhibition early on the night of the murder, and where did you go to?"
50705I-- me?"
50705I?
50705If F. saw it?
50705If Rosalind was dead-- by her own act?
50705If he_ knows_?
50705In it you tell him that since the night at the sun- dial, when you were''_ brutal_''to him----""You know, then, my letter-- by heart?"
50705In whose power?
50705Is anything going to happen to me, really?
50705Is he not a rich bourgeois like the rest?
50705Is it credible to you that he was not even at her funeral?
50705Is it my destiny to die suddenly, and lie in an early grave?
50705Is it''yes''?"
50705Is it-- open to inspection?
50705Is she here now?"
50705Is that so?"
50705Is there any other woman so sad in this great city, I wonder?
50705Is this fair, Inspector Furneaux?
50705Is your trust weakened?"
50705It appeared, then, that Miss Marsh was now in love with Osborne?
50705Just as a matter of form, you might give me the names of your correspondents?"
50705Just state the facts simply-- you did see him here on the murder night, did n''t you?"
50705Let us talk about----""_ Ourselves?_""''Ourselves and our king.''"
50705Listen, my friend-- she is on the way to Inspector Furneaux with Pauline''s dagger----""_ Mille diables!_""Janoc, what is to be done?
50705May I fall at your feet again to- morrow?"
50705May I hope to have the pleasure----?"
50705May I not take my valet?"
50705Might not Osborne put it there himself?
50705Miss Marsh?"
50705Now, can you help me?
50705Now, in Heaven''s name, is this fair?
50705Now, then, have I proved my point?"
50705Now, where the deuce_ is_ Furneaux?
50705Now----""Did she mention Janoc?"
50705O, arouse yourself,_ pour l''amour de Dieu_--Pauline will be hanged----""Hanged?
50705Oh, man, man, ca n''t you see that Furneaux has twisted each of us round his little finger?"
50705Only are you certain sure-- that''s the point?"
50705Osborne?"
50705Osborne?"
50705Osborne?"
50705Osborne?"
50705Osborne_ to steal his weapon from?
50705Presently she whispered:"Where have they taken him to?"
50705Put me on to the editorial department, please.... That you, Arbuthnot?
50705R. M."What_ will_ he think of''_ I_ have discovered''?"
50705Rosalind?
50705Seen anything about it in the paper?"
50705She had, then, seen Furneaux?
50705She has declared that_ I_ left----?"
50705She,_ the other_, is hardly cold yet in her untimely tomb, and here am I... shall I say in love?
50705So the youth, with a sovereign in his pocket, hurried away to do Hylda Prout''s will-- or was it Furneaux''s?
50705So you would rather I committed suicide than be in your hands a prisoner?"
50705Something on in that line?"
50705St. John''s Wood is far away from either Victoria or Charing Cross, and I suppose you reached Kenterstone by way of Charing Cross?"
50705Strange to say, one of the Neolithic ones has been missing for some days-- I do n''t know whether Mr. Osborne has given it away or not?"
50705Subject to what risks?
50705Suppose he killed me?
50705Suppose she was murdered by Anarchists?
50705Suppose we took a little of London now?
50705Suppose you told me now that you had killed the Frenchwoman, would n''t I be compelled to arrest_ you_?"
50705Tell her, then, that you are as innocent as she of this murder?"
50705Tell us now who it was you saw on the stair, your master, or his secretary made up to represent him?"
50705That_ he_ killed her, or that_ I_ killed her?"
50705The creature with the red hair certainly knew what was in the letter, but-- might she not have opened it herself?
50705The question is, what effect did what I last said have upon your mind?"
50705The question is, whether the blade that has gone from there was shaped like the one supposed to have committed the crime in the flat?"
50705The----?"
50705Then I may regard that matter as settled?"
50705Then came an urgent letter from St. Petersburg that the traitress was respited until a certain list found among her papers was checked----""Found?"
50705Then who did kill her?
50705There, concealed in the shrubbery, he could clearly hear Janoc say:"Am I never to see her?
50705Therefore, I brought about the interview because----""_ You_ brought it about?"
50705Think, though, of saying,"by the way?"
50705Though it was only his back you saw?"
50705Three days ago she wrote me a letter----""Rosalind?"
50705Three months ago Sauriac Paulus in the_ promenoire_ at Covent Garden, said to me:"By the way, do you know that you have been condemned to death?"
50705To his question at the door,"Is Mr. Furneaux here?"
50705To the question:"Did you by chance pick up a bit of lace just now?"
50705Two persons, and two only, in the whole world know of it-- how could_ she_, possibly?
50705Unfortunately, I am compelled to inform you that I am here to arrest you----""Me?
50705Was I not right?"
50705Was it somehow owing to the fact that Miss Marsh knew Osborne that Inspector Clarke had come upon her at the moment of the two ladies''arrival?
50705Was it true what the world was saying-- that he had really killed Rose de Bercy?
50705Was n''t she a beauty?"
50705Was that it?
50705Was this stern- visaged representative of the law merely torturing her with a false hope?
50705We have even met and spoken together before-- you remember the old man who traveled with you in the train from Tormouth?
50705Well, what is the lady''s name, and who is your correspondent?...
50705What about dagger now?"
50705What caused these deadly tremors?
50705What did she say?"
50705What if the sight of that scene accounted for Rosalind''s disappearance?
50705What is her name?"
50705What is she like, this lady?"
50705What matter if he were hanged by mistake?
50705What motive could Mr. Furneaux, or Mr. Osborne, have for such an act?"
50705What of the piece of blood- stained lace?"
50705What was in this letter?
50705What was it?
50705What was it?
50705What was the relation between Miss Marsh and Osborne?
50705What would he do?
50705What, though, do you think of me in all this, my dear Isadore?
50705What?
50705What_ could_ she have written to you?"
50705When did you telegraph to Kenterstone?"
50705Where are the other papers?
50705Where are these people, Campbell and the woman, whose testimony you bring against me?"
50705Where is she?"
50705Where is the lady?
50705Where shall I find her?"
50705Where should I begin?
50705Who bore her such a bitter grudge that not even her death would sate their hatred, but they must try also to destroy her beauty?"
50705Who could blame him for that?
50705Who could have written it?
50705Who found it, and where?"
50705Who might tell?
50705Who said you had done anything?"
50705Who were they?"
50705Why a second time?"
50705Why are you saying things that you know nothing of?"
50705Why blame Providence?"
50705Why did you keep the daggers and the diary, sweet maid?"
50705Why did you not ask?
50705Why have you given the police so much trouble?"
50705Why is she coming to Scotland Yard?"
50705Why keep up this farce of pretense?"
50705Why should I have dreamt it?
50705Why so?"
50705Why so?"
50705Why speak so confidently?
50705Why trouble to deny it?
50705Why, though, should his sister''s name appear at the back of a note written to Janoc, or to Inspector Clarke, as he thought?"
50705Why?
50705Why?
50705Winter, have you ever seen me weep?
50705Would n''t it be funny if he owned up to it?"
50705Would that be dishonest?
50705You are trying to shield someone?
50705You are visiting Tormouth, I suppose?"
50705You did leave-- By the way, have you a brother or any other relative in London----?"
50705You did n''t catch--?"
50705You have been at the pains to read it?"
50705You know it?"
50705You know of no one who entered the room during those days?"
50705You know that the Tsar comes to London from Windsor to- morrow?
50705You know where that bit of lace come from?"
50705You pay me that compliment?
50705You see, do you not, that it is impossible?"
50705You suggest no motive for a thief to steal these two objects and no other from the museum?
50705You want me to be sharp?"
50705You went to the Exhibition with the cook, Hester Se----""And she has said such a thing of me?
50705You were against me all along, sir-- now, were n''t you?"
50705Your affianced husband?"
50705Your evening edition, referring to the Feldisham Mansions tragedy, contains an item.... Oh, you expected to hear from me, did you?
50705[ Illustration: He found himself clinging to the bamboo shaft_ Page 61_]"Are you hurt?"
50705_ Untrue to my dupes!_ Which dupes?
50705_ Who_ did it?
50705_ Who_ was C. E. F.?
50705a snake has stolen into your dainty and Puritan nest"--if some imp of unhappiness whispered that, what would she do?
50705and he is n''t going to; no, and I have n''t done with it yet, not by a long way.... Now, where do you buy these eggs?
50705at the top?"
50705by the police, perhaps?
50705chirped he,"are they of high value?"
50705cried Janoc sharply, pale, half- standing--"cheat?"
50705dear, sweet sister, why didst thou hide thyself from me?"
50705given Furneaux the dagger?
50705he cried,"why not?
50705he snapped,"have you made up your mind to end this tragic farce?"
50705how_ can_ you pardon me?"
50705it never struck me like this before!--Suppose there was earnest under the jest, deep- hidden under?
50705laughed Clarke, in solemn mirth,"what about C. E. F.?
50705murmured Furneaux;"a spirit whose feet seemed to reel?"
50705on which night?"
50705said Winter almost with a groan of reproach--"an innocent man?"
50705she is sweet to you, is she, in your heart?
50705she said, pointing to her guiltless breast with a gaping mouth;"I, poor me, I_ left_----?"
50705she screamed, now beside herself with rage,"what evidence can you produce against me?
50705told Furneaux?
50705why?"
55348A Spanish- American,repeated Darrel,"from South America?"
55348A longer journey? 55348 A week ago?"
55348A woman?
55348About-- about what?
55348All what?
55348An innocent man? 55348 And found the bed unslept in?"
55348And now, Mr. Vass, why did you not tell us this before?
55348And what are you doing down here?
55348And what did she say?
55348And what was her name?
55348And you fancied you might learn the locality of some rich mine?
55348And you wore it previously?
55348Another crime?
55348Another theory?
55348Are there any children?
55348Are you certain of that?
55348Are you going to Peru also?
55348Are you going too?
55348Are you in love with Miss Hargone?
55348Are you not going down the lane?
55348Are you sure it was Julia?
55348Are you sure of that?
55348Are you sure the initials are his?
55348Are you sure?
55348Are you sure?
55348Are you sure?
55348Are you, now?
55348At what time did he address you first?
55348But Grent is dead; so where is the money now?
55348But after office hours?
55348But are these the questions you wish to put to me?
55348But are you sure? 55348 But by whom-- by whom?"
55348But first, where does this society you talk of exist?
55348But for what reason?
55348But his name-- his name?
55348But how about Julia going in place of Lydia?
55348But how can that be?
55348But how do you know?
55348But how were you to open the safe?
55348But surely you do n''t think Donna Maria guilty of the crime?
55348But the Mummy-- the Blue Mummy?
55348But what is the object of this society?
55348But what is this society which kills people in this barbarous way?
55348But what reason have you to think that he carried valuables?
55348But why did Julia consent to undertake so dangerous a task?
55348But why should he fly?
55348But why should they not speak out?
55348But why-- why?
55348But you are a native of Peru, miss?
55348But,objected Darrel, finding flaws with the true instinct of criticism,"why do you suppose that the assassin gave this image to his victim?
55348By forcing the assassin to confess?
55348By her confederate?
55348By old Leighbourne?
55348By the hand of Manuel,said Frank,"and you deny his guilt?"
55348By whom?
55348By whom?
55348Ca n''t you guess his name?
55348Can he describe the pair?
55348Can you give me the names of the one or two?
55348Captain Manuel? 55348 Captain Manuel?"
55348Captain Manuel?
55348Captain Manuel?
55348Capture a criminal?
55348Come, sir, what have you to say to the scandalous way in which you have behaved towards Miss Hargone?
55348Connected with the bank?
55348Connection?
55348Could he not have returned?
55348Darrel, my dear boy, is this you?
55348Dead also,repeated Leighbourne--"but not murdered?"
55348Did Donna Maria Sandoval call?
55348Did Julia Brawn ever speak ill of him?
55348Did Mr. Grent ever receive visitors here?
55348Did Mr. Grent take any notice of her while she was in the house?
55348Did he entertain much?
55348Did he see your uncle?
55348Did the man follow you?
55348Did you ask him if Mr. Grent returned?
55348Did you really intend to marry her?
55348Did you sit here when Mr. Grent was away?
55348Disguised?
55348Do n''t they?
55348Do n''t you know who it was?
55348Do n''t you see the representation of the sun on its breast?
55348Do you believe his story?
55348Do you come here to blacken my character?
55348Do you intend to arrest him?
55348Do you intend to go on with the matter?
55348Do you intend to tell me another?
55348Do you know if Mr. Grent had any enemies?
55348Do you know if Mr. Grent was mixed up with this society in any way?
55348Do you know if any man called to walk out with her?
55348Do you know if there is a lady called Hargone living hereabouts?
55348Do you know the name of the man she intended to marry?
55348Do you know what the commission was?
55348Do you mean to say that I took the money?
55348Do you think I owe Mr. Leighbourne one also?
55348Do you think, from what I have told you, that Miss Hargone knows who went with Julia to Mortality- lane?
55348Does he, indeed? 55348 Donna Inez?
55348Donna Inez?
55348Donna Maria?
55348For Donna Maria,said Darrel; then, on receiving a nod from the detective, he asked:"How did her hat come to be worn by the dead woman?"
55348For me-- me?
55348For what reason?
55348From Mr. Leighbourne, junior?
55348From Scotland Yard?
55348From which direction?
55348Good Heavens, gentlemen, how can I possibly assist you?
55348Had he any enemies?
55348Had he no faults?
55348Had he not a valet?
55348Had you any difficulty in making him speak?
55348Had you any particular reason for this haste?
55348Has anything been discovered about my poor uncle''s murder?
55348Has he been arrested?
55348Has he the funds of the society in his possession?
55348Has the society any money?
55348Has your society anything to do with Peru?
55348Have we?
55348Have you any brandy?
55348Have you any idea of his name?
55348Have you any interest in his niece, Captain?
55348Have you any proof?
55348Have you ever come across this sort of thing?
55348Have you heard of this Mortality- lane murder?
55348He is absent also, then?
55348He lost money?
55348He was married, I believe?
55348How about going in place of Lydia?
55348How are you my boy?
55348How can I possibly know such a thing? 55348 How can you be sure of it?"
55348How can you do that?
55348How can you expect me to? 55348 How can you prove it?"
55348How dare you say so?
55348How did he know that the letter was authentic?
55348How do you intend to become rich?
55348How do you intend to obtain an answer to these questions?
55348How do you know I received a telegram from him?
55348How do you know he thought of going there?
55348How do you know that?
55348How do you know?
55348How do you know?
55348How do you mean-- done for?
55348How long did it take you to walk to Mortality- lane?
55348How long was she in your service?
55348How old is this lady?
55348How so?
55348How was it that Mr. Grent met her?
55348How was she dressed?
55348How were they restored?
55348How will you find him?
55348How? 55348 I am going to see Captain Manuel, and see if he really countenanced the changing of the bank- notes,"replied Torry;"and you?"
55348I beg your pardon,whispered the red- haired man in husky tones,"but could you tell me the whereabouts of Mortality- lane?"
55348I believe you to be innocent,he said genially;"but who is guilty?"
55348I suppose these two young gentlemen were often here?
55348I suppose,said Darrel reflectively,"that he did not notice any one near Cleopatra''s Needle as he drove along?
55348I thought he explained that?
55348I understand you wish to see me?
55348I, sir?
55348I? 55348 I?"
55348If I tell you my reason for asking this question, and you agree to answer it, can I rely on your being able to give me the desired information?
55348If you insist upon knowing,said he, with reluctance,"there was Captain Manuel?"
55348In Lima?
55348In Peru?
55348In a Romish Church?
55348In that case why did she make the Mortality- lane appointment?
55348In that case you will not mind shewing me the telegram, miss?
55348In what way? 55348 In what way?"
55348Is Captain Manuel one of these people?
55348Is Mr. Leighbourne in his office?
55348Is there a name on his shirt, then?
55348Is this hat yours?
55348Is your bank solvent?
55348It seems like it,assented Darrel;"but who murdered the woman?"
55348Julia Brawn; but you say,''What was her name?'' 55348 Let me ask you one thing,"said Darrel, as he took his leave:"why did you not tell us this before?"
55348Love affairs?
55348May I ask a question?
55348May I ask, sir, why you insisted upon seeing me?
55348Might not the key of the safe have been stolen?
55348Mind your own business?
55348Mr. Darrel, will you be so kind as to remain here? 55348 Mr. Grent lived at Wraybridge?"
55348Mr. Vass, what is the matter?
55348Mrs. Grent, you mean?
55348No, I''m sorry to say he has----"Not arrested?
55348No,said Lydia with brazen assurance;"why should I deny it?"
55348Not about that dreadful murder?
55348Not responsible?
55348Now, who came into the room when you were here?
55348Of a_ secret_ society?
55348Of course not; but who knows that he returned it? 55348 Of course, she speaks English?"
55348Of course, you''ll deny it?
55348Oh, the tickets, the two tickets for Italy?
55348Oh,said Torry, sneering,"of course, if Miss Sandoval is afraid--""I afraid?"
55348On business?
55348On the third finger of the right hand?
55348On what day?
55348On what subject?
55348Otherwise----"Well,cried the banker defiantly,"otherwise?"
55348Our task is to find out who killed this red- haired man, I suppose?
55348Own up what?
55348Perhaps you can explain this?
55348Probably, so far as the bank was concerned,replied Torry thoughtfully,"but in his own house?"
55348Really; relative to the robbery?
55348Really? 55348 Say?"
55348Send someone with this to the telegraph office at Wraybridge Railway Station?
55348So Miss Hargone left Wray House?
55348So it all fell out as planned?
55348So you agreed to assist in it?
55348Still, his mode of speech?
55348Sure, it''s not thief- catching you''ve taken up?
55348Surely, putting my story and yours together, you can guess who killed Grent and Julia Brawn?
55348That Grent was murdered by Manuel?
55348The assassin you mean?
55348The bank- notes?
55348The chambers in Duke- street?
55348The drive to throw you off the scent took some time, I suppose?
55348The first card?
55348The four- wheeler?
55348The lover of Julia Brawn?
55348The man-- the man with the red hair?
55348The money-- the ten thousand pounds?
55348The murdered woman?
55348The one driven by Henry which the red- haired man used as a blind, or the second owned by Bike in which I followed?
55348The red- haired man was not at his ease with you, I suppose?
55348The truth?
55348The woman?
55348Then again,said Frank warming,"did you not take two tickets from the bank?"
55348Then how is it Grent has fallen a victim in London?
55348Then it left just before our cabs came back?
55348Then she intended to rob him on that night?
55348Then tell me what you consider was Mr. Grent''s gravest fault?
55348Then the assassin of my uncle has been arrested?
55348Then the murder must have been committed between half- past twelve and one o''clock in the morning?
55348Then what was he doing in the West End so far from the bank?
55348Then who is guilty?
55348Then you must have heard about this secret society in your native land?
55348Then you, Miss, were the woman with whom Mr. Grent intended to travel to Genoa?
55348Then, on the Saturday we speak of, you were sitting here?
55348Then?
55348There,said Torry smoothing out the envelope,"what do you think that is?"
55348They came out of Mortality- lane?
55348This ring?
55348To your theory?
55348Told you that I had received a telegram?
55348Torry-- who is he?
55348Vass, perhaps you can throw some light on this subject?
55348Was Mr. Vass in the confidence of the deceased, sir?
55348Was he not married?
55348Was it by appointment?
55348Was no mention made of the Blue Mummy?
55348Well, Torry, why not?
55348Well, admitting as much, why having obtained what he wanted, should he have killed her?
55348Well,said Blake, after the first greeting had passed,"how is the case getting on?"
55348Were they agitated?
55348What about Mr. Vass? 55348 What about his agitated demeanour?"
55348What about the Anarchists? 55348 What about the returned money, Miss Sandoval?
55348What about them? 55348 What about?"
55348What are you going to do?
55348What are you saying?
55348What can I do?
55348What did the porter say?
55348What did they do next? 55348 What do you know about it, miss?"
55348What do you know about this society?
55348What do you know of that mantle?
55348What do you make of it, sir?
55348What do you mean?
55348What do you mean?
55348What do you mean?
55348What do you mean?
55348What do you mean?
55348What do you mean?
55348What do you think of my friend Blake?
55348What do you think of this mantle affair?
55348What does he mean by that threat?
55348What evidence can I give? 55348 What had Mr. Grent to do with the mummy?"
55348What hat?
55348What is it?
55348What is that?
55348What is that?
55348What is the matter?
55348What is the name?
55348What money?
55348What purpose?
55348What right have you, or either one of you, to make so scandalous a statement?
55348What route did he take from Mortality- lane to Northumberland- avenue?
55348What society?
55348What villain do you mean?
55348What was her name?
55348What was the man like?
55348What were the four words?
55348What''s the matter, sir?
55348What; Do you intend to call on Miss Hargone and repeat this infamous conversation?
55348What?
55348When did he get out?
55348When did she leave you?
55348When did you return it?
55348When did you see him last?
55348When is he to be here?
55348Where are these chambers?
55348Where did you get that accursed image?
55348Where is it? 55348 Where was the woman''s body found?"
55348Where?
55348Who are the P.P.''s?
55348Who found the body?
55348Who informed you?
55348Who is that?
55348Who says I was?
55348Who? 55348 Whom?"
55348Why Peru?
55348Why are you making all this theatrical display?
55348Why are you so sure?
55348Why did Miss Hargone send Julia to meet Grent in her mantle?
55348Why did you faint at the sight of the Blue Mummy, miss?
55348Why did you not change them at the bank of England?
55348Why did you not tell us all this before?
55348Why did you not turn her out of the house?
55348Why did you return the money?
55348Why do you ask?
55348Why do you insist that the assassin changed the notes?
55348Why do you mention him?
55348Why do you send Meek away?
55348Why does n''t Vass tell old Leighbourne?
55348Why not at your own lodgings?
55348Why not have him arrested?
55348Why not start from the red- headed man?
55348Why not?
55348Why not?
55348Why so?
55348Why you say_ him?_demanded Donna Inez abruptly.
55348Why, what about that beauty?
55348Why-- why does a detective call on me?
55348Why?
55348Why?
55348Why?
55348Why?
55348Why?
55348Will you kindly send a servant with this to the telegraph office, miss?
55348Will you permit me, miss, to ask you a few questions?
55348With the woman who killed him? 55348 Wonder who they are?"
55348Would I be such a fool?
55348Yes, yes; do you know it?
55348You are sure you were not followed?
55348You are the detective charged with the discovery of my late partner''s murderer?
55348You could not identify her in any way?
55348You dare to accuse me of that?
55348You dismissed her?
55348You do n''t believe they know the assassin?
55348You do n''t know the meaning of these idols, I suppose, sir?
55348You do n''t know?
55348You have no suspicion?
55348You have told me everything?
55348You know a good deal about the place, I suppose?
55348You know the name of the dead woman?
55348You know who killed him?
55348You mean the elder?
55348You mean, we shall catch the assassin?
55348You mean----? 55348 You received my letter?"
55348You refuse to explain?
55348You saw Mr. Grent, I believe?
55348You say that this man spoke like an educated gentleman?
55348You think he is-- or rather was-- a gentleman?
55348You will come back?
55348You wish to find out what she knows?
55348You wish to punish the assassin of your uncle?
55348You-- you,he said in a hesitating manner--"you are not a member of that infernal society?"
55348Your mantle?
55348_ Dios!_swore the Spaniard, reddening,"what has that to do with you?"
55348Also from Peru?"
55348And how did she become possessed of so unique a curiosity as a Peruvian tomb- image?
55348And who killed her?"
55348And why should not love be born of a glance?
55348Any other visitor?"
55348As he knew that Grent sympathised with the aims of the society----""What were the aims of the society?"
55348Blake?"
55348Blake?"
55348Breakfast, is it?
55348But I was going to ask you, what about Donna Maria?"
55348But does it never strike you that the Bank in Fleet- street may have some connection also?
55348But for what reason?
55348But how did you connect the one woman with the other?"
55348But tell me, how did Mr. Grent hope to pacify Manuel?"
55348But the confession?"
55348But what I wish to learn is, why the man required the woman to be present; and why did he permit her to interview her assassin by herself?"
55348But what was the business?"
55348But what was your maid doing in Mortality- lane?"
55348But who can tell?
55348But who is the man who did so?"
55348But who was the thief?
55348But why to Genoa?"
55348By murdering Grent?"
55348By the way,"added Frank,"do you think that the story told by Grent to Donna Maria was true?"
55348CHAPTER III MR. TORRY''S THEORY"The Blue Mummy,"repeated Darrel wonderingly;"what do you mean?"
55348Can I tell him the case, and say you''ll let him assist?"
55348Darrel?"
55348Did Mr. Grent take much money with him?"
55348Did you visit Mr. Grent''s rooms in Duke- street on the day of his death?"
55348Discovery of what?
55348Do n''t you believe me, sir?"
55348Do n''t you remember Leighbourne told us so?"
55348Do you blame me?"
55348Do you consider that the late Mr. Grent was a good man, sir?"
55348Do you know who returned those notes to Manuel?"
55348Do you remember how we traced the name of Grent by means of the initials on his shirt?"
55348Do you wish to ask me further questions, sir?"
55348Does he think this is Peru, to assassinate innocent people with impunity?
55348Eh?"
55348Grent?"
55348Grent?"
55348Grent?"
55348Grent?"
55348Grent?"
55348Grent?"
55348Grent?"
55348Grent?"
55348Has anything new been discovered?"
55348Have you any idea who wrote it?"
55348Have you been his secretary long?"
55348Have you in your hands that assassin?"
55348He found out that Grent was going to bolt with the money----""From whom?"
55348He raised his voice and addressed Mrs. Grent:"Why should they be against you, madam?"
55348Her name was Julia Brawn?"
55348How about Julia?"
55348How could he have been in possession of the money on that night?"
55348How do you know?
55348How do you know?"
55348How so?"
55348I hope I make myself clear?"
55348I know that Miss Hargone does not love you, for----""Why do you suppose so?"
55348I suppose Main noticed in which direction they went?"
55348I suppose he was right to believe in the letter?
55348I wonder who the woman is?"
55348If he had no special business in Mortality- lane, why had he inquired for it?
55348Is she arrested?"
55348Is that any bar to your utilising his services?"
55348Is there no mark on it?"
55348It seems to me Mr. Torry, that you suspect Miss Hargone of complicity in this crime?"
55348Julia Brawn met Mr. Grent in Mortality- lane and----""Killed him?"
55348Leighbourne?"
55348Leighbourne?"
55348Manuel?"
55348Might the cove with carrots be wanted?"
55348Mr. Blake is the lover of Miss Hargone?"
55348Mr. Torry''s eyes flashed like steel, and his mouth shut with a snap on the curt query:"Why?"
55348Now, what do you say?"
55348Ring the bell?
55348So Julia Brawn left you?"
55348So you went to look at the woman''s body?"
55348That is, do you know anyone whom Mr. Grent regarded as his enemy?"
55348The next day he was ill.""Who was-- Vass or Leighbourne?"
55348The numbers have not been traced by any of your people?"
55348There is no possibility of the man being traced?"
55348Torry?"
55348Torry?"
55348Torry?"
55348Torry?"
55348Vass?"
55348Was Grent in difficulties?"
55348Was that person Donna Inez?
55348Was this man a gentleman?"
55348Well when is the marriage to be?"
55348Well, Mr. Torry, ca n''t you trace his identity by those initials?"
55348Well, so he resolved to obey it, and hand the money over to this mysterious Centa?"
55348Well,"he added, turning to Vass, with a grim look,"is that all you have to say?"
55348What about Blake?
55348What about Captain Manuel?"
55348What about Manuel?"
55348What about the letter?
55348What am I to do?
55348What could be known of his rank by four words?"
55348What do you make of all this?"
55348What do you say?"
55348What do you think of the plot provided by chance?"
55348What does Blake say?"
55348What does he do?
55348What else did she say?"
55348What is it you wish to know?"
55348What is it?"
55348What made you think of it?"
55348What other?"
55348What valuables?"
55348When and where am I to see you?"
55348When do we start?"
55348When was she killed?"
55348When?
55348Where did you get the mummy?"
55348Where did you get them?"
55348Where?"
55348Which one do you inquire for?"
55348Who am I?"
55348Who are my lovers?"
55348Who do you think is the murderer?"
55348Who is she?"
55348Who is the unfortunate gentleman?"
55348Who?"
55348Why do n''t you write a novel on this case?"
55348Why do you suggest a difficulty?"
55348Why should I have met Mr. Grent?
55348Why should he take the trouble to explain the absence of the secretary?
55348Why should the society instruct Manuel, or Centa, to kill Grent and rob his body, then give back the money to itself?
55348Why was she murdered?
55348Why?"
55348Why?"
55348Will you come?"
55348Wot y''poll- pryin''''ere for, eh?"
55348Would you mind explaining what that private business was about?"
55348Yet, how otherwise was he able to account for the strange excitement which possessed him?
55348You are going to meet this man, Vass?"
55348You did not see the man who brought back the notes, Captain?"
55348You do n''t think Leighbourne killed Grent?"
55348You follow me?"
55348You go by the evidence that I wore this ring on that day?"
55348You heard her say so?"
55348You met him on that day?"
55348You never saw him, Miss?"
55348and by whom?"
55348cried Darrel, starting to his feet,"do n''t you see the poor girl has fainted?
55348cried Donna Maria, her colour rising and her eyes sparkling,"and the money returned?"
55348cried Lydia, much astonished,"How do you know?"
55348cried Meek in dismay,"you do n''t think this lady has had anything to do with the murder?"
55348do you intend to have her arrested?"
55348have you been hard up?"
55348remarked Frank, with a recollection of the case;"have you been in South America?"
55348repeated Frank contemptuously;"surely you do n''t believe that Donna Inez was jealous of Julia Brawn?"
55348replied the man, noting suspiciously the dress of his fare,"wot''s yer little game?"
55348said Darrel thoughtfully;"then the presumption is that the assassin tried to throw the body of his victim into the river?"
55348said Darrel, taking the lists,"if I am successful?"
55348said Torry, leisurely taking a seat,"so she has set you on to me has she?"
55348said Torry, who did not put much faith in this posthumous praise:"Your master was much respected?"
55348the bankers?"
55348the two men had left it as a token?"
55348thought Mr. Torry, smiling blankly to conceal his real thoughts;"so Mr. Vass the confidential secretary, has been ill and absent, has he?
55348thought the detective as he walked up to the mansion,"so you have been forewarned, have you, Miss Hargone?
55348thought the novelist,"can this be the proverbial woman who has caused the trouble?"
55348what is the matter?"
55348words Why does she not own up?"
55748''Ave he done anything bad?
55748''Children, obey your parents,''ai n''t it?
55748''Ow do you know, ma''am, that she made that choice?
55748Against me?
55748Ah--Lady Wyke looked up to the ceiling--"has this man any feeling?
55748Ah, but did she? 55748 Ah, but is it to be believed?"
55748And Miss Lemby?
55748And did he?
55748And he did not return?
55748And how dare you accuse me of murdering my husband?
55748And how long am I to stay in this rotten hole?
55748And my father?
55748And my father?
55748And she said that, although the truth was known to her, it need not be known to others if----"If what; if what? 55748 And the Rector''ull find out all about Sir''Ector, I s''pose?"
55748And the reason?
55748And the second visitor?'' 55748 And what other servants?"
55748And what part is the truth?
55748And where''s he going to get the cash? 55748 And who''s going to pay me for what I''ve had to put up with?
55748And you are innocent also?
55748And you listened?
55748And your husband consented to this absurd idea?
55748And''oo did she run with?
55748Are they lies?
55748Are you Lady Wyke?
55748Are you against dad?
55748Are you going to marry her?
55748Are you going to tell me who is the criminal?
55748Are you going?
55748Are you in earnest?
55748Are you sure, that this woman is Lady Wyke?
55748As how?
55748Ask me another, my girl? 55748 At a price, I suppose?"
55748Business? 55748 But Lady Wyke?"
55748But how can she?
55748But how did you escape?
55748But if you get this money of Sir Hector''s?
55748But we do n''t know his name, so how can a verdict be given against him?
55748But what is the matter?
55748But who is he?
55748But why did he not tell me?
55748But why should she murder Sir Hector?
55748But why?
55748But you told her it would n''t?
55748By giving her that letter?
55748Ca n''t we leave the name of that girl out of the conversation?
55748Ca n''t you guess after what I have said, Claudia? 55748 Ca n''t you leave me enough to live on for six months?
55748Ca n''t you stay until Monday?
55748Can not it be upset?
55748Can you help me to prove that?
55748Claudia? 55748 Claudia?"
55748Coming to what?
55748Could he have done so?
55748Darling,said the astonished young man,"are you mad?
55748Describe him?
55748Did Sir Hector appear to be afraid of his second visitor?
55748Did Sir Hector ever tell you that he was in danger of death?
55748Did he explain why he wished to be secret and quiet like?
55748Did he know, then, that you were his aunt?
55748Did he say that in those exact words?
55748Did he say that, he had risked so much to get this particular money of Sir Hector''s?
55748Did he tell you that he expected a visitor?
55748Did n''t I say that he was shady, Miss Lemby? 55748 Did n''t Lady Wyke, say what she intended to do?"
55748Did n''t he give you an explanation when you called?
55748Did n''t you guess what she intended to do, Claudia?
55748Did she tell you that she suspected you of committing the murder?
55748Did the boy take it?
55748Did you catch him?
55748Did you hear any noise of quarrelling while you were in the kitchen?
55748Did you hear,said Jervis,"anything likely to make you think that a crime was being committed?"
55748Did you indeed?
55748Did you know Sir Hector before you came here?
55748Did you see him in London? 55748 Did you see who was the fare?"
55748Did you send him to Hedgerton to got him murdered?
55748Did you speak to her?
55748Do I? 55748 Do n''t I say he did?"
55748Do n''t I say she did, cuss you?
55748Do n''t you know that I wrote to you?
55748Do n''t you think that we had better leave Miss Lemby''s name out of this conversation?
55748Do tell me why you have come to see me at this hour?
55748Do you know anything about him?
55748Do you know the girl who killed him?
55748Do you know the truth?
55748Do you know where Mrs. Vence is to be found?
55748Do you know who he was?
55748Do you mean to say that she can implicate my father in the crime, and demand your hand as a promise of silence?
55748Do you mean to say that she murdered her husband?
55748Do you remember the letter which Hall, the postman, delivered that night?
55748Do you think Sergeant Purse will stop the bicycle at Redleigh?
55748Do you think he has met with an accident, George?
55748Do you think so, Edwin?
55748Do you think that I''m going to have these lies told about me?
55748Do you think that Mrs. Vence is guilty, Edwin?
55748Does that interest you?
55748Edwin, what do you know about this dreadful murder of Sir Hector?
55748Everything?
55748Good heavens, Claudia, what do you mean?
55748Had Sir Hector a brother, then? 55748 Hang me?"
55748Has she any reason to force Neddy to hold his tongue?
55748Has she been doing anything wrong?
55748Has she discovered anything yet?
55748Have you any objection to my taking a flight, sergeant?
55748Have you seen the gent?
55748He could n''t very well object, could he,she demanded,"seeing that I had the inside running?
55748He read it, I suppose?
55748He saw no one save Mr. Lemby and the man who escaped on the bicycle?
55748He took it with him?
55748He''s ill then, is he?
55748Him as drives the trap to and fro this place and Redleigh?
55748How can I follow in this fog, and with no machine to catch him up with? 55748 How can I when you hinted that you were mixed up in the matter?"
55748How can you be sure?
55748How could I, drat you?
55748How could Wyke have a wife when he was engaged to be married to my daughter?
55748How dare you come in by the front door?
55748How did she escape from the fire?
55748How do we stand?
55748How do you know that I am clever?
55748How do you know that this woman is not an impostor?
55748How do you know?
55748How should I know the truth? 55748 How should I know?
55748How the deuce could he, when the man had knifed him?
55748How?
55748However, you made Lady Wyke understand that you would remain true to me?
55748I did not know that Sandal was your lawyer?
55748I do n''t go for to tell lies, do I? 55748 I do n''t see that?"
55748I suppose poor Wyke is dead?
55748I want to try my machine now it is repaired?
55748I wonder if Mrs. Vence killed the man herself?
55748I wonder if that''s the blessed baronite, and what he''s up to? 55748 I wonder why?"
55748If I gave you up would she let you have that letter and hold her tongue?
55748If a clever man like you ca n''t find her, how do you expect me to?
55748If not, why did we come to England to live in so expensive a style?
55748If you are innocent of assault, why did you hide in that loft?
55748If you do n''t want to see me, why are you here, then?
55748In connection with the death of Sir Hector Wyke?
55748Indeed?
55748Is he dead?
55748Is he? 55748 Is it, when I have that letter?"
55748Is n''t it dreadful,Edwin?
55748Is not my explanation satisfactory?
55748Is there any reason why this gentleman should wait?
55748Is this a joke?
55748Kind? 55748 Lady Wyke?"
55748Lady Wyke?
55748Laura Bright, Mrs. Mellin''s sister, who ran away twenty and more years ago?
55748Live on nothing?
55748Lor''bless my soul, miss,''ow should I know?
55748Maranatha?
55748Maranatha?
55748Marry you?
55748Me?
55748Mischief, when I saved you from a marriage you disliked?
55748Mr. Sandal, in Lincoln''s Inn Fields?
55748My dear Claudia, I really do n''t know what you mean?
55748My dearest Claudia, what is the matter?
55748No one saw you; no one recognised you?
55748No? 55748 Not necessary?
55748Now, then,said Purse, shaking his finger at her sternly,"what have you to say, madam?
55748Officer, do you suspect me, dash you?
55748Oh, George--she spoke while moving into the room--"do you remember Laura Bright?
55748Oh, Mr. Craver has found that out, has he?
55748Oh, am I? 55748 Oh, did you?
55748Oh, do I?
55748Oh, do n''t we, ma''am?
55748Oh, has he? 55748 Oh, have you?
55748Oh, is he? 55748 Oh, what is to be done?"
55748On what condition?
55748On what grounds does he believe that?
55748Quite so; and, knowing that I am a brute, why, try to force me to become your husband?
55748Risked what?
55748Saw what?
55748Say? 55748 Says what?"
55748She ca n''t force you to marry her, Edwin?
55748She intended to accuse my father, then?
55748She sees you with regard to the property?
55748She told you?
55748Sir Hector Wyke? 55748 Sir Hector Wyke?"
55748So you''re his daughter, are you?
55748Speak?
55748Suicide, when Mrs. Vence saw the assassin bending over his victim? 55748 Talk like what?"
55748That is true,sighed Claudia, with relief,"But what does Lady Wyke mean by her hints?"
55748The bicycle of Hall, the postman?
55748The question is, would a jury see it?
55748Then I take it that you have nothing to do with the murder?
55748Then how can he accuse me if he has n''t his senses about him?
55748Then she did wish to see you about that crime?
55748Then she told you that she had met me?
55748Then who did?
55748Then why come here to worrit me?
55748Then why did n''t he tell me so?
55748Then why did you bother me to say it again?
55748Then why did you use those words to Claudia?
55748Then why do you accept my assistance?
55748Then you do n''t love her?
55748Then you do n''t think that Sir Hector committed suicide?
55748Then you knew why he did so?
55748There is n''t any harm in that, is there, sir?
55748Was Sir Hector your friend, sir?
55748Was the boy Mellin in the house then?
55748Was there anything in Sir Hector''s past life to lead you to suppose that he had some secret likely to bring about his violent death?
55748We ca n''t live on nothing, can we?
55748We part friends, I hope?
55748Well, I ca n''t call her my cussed mother, can I miss?
55748Well, Mr. Lemby,said Lady Wyke, sharply, for she objected to his insolent scrutiny,"and why are you here?"
55748Well, Mr. Sandal,asked Claudia, impatiently,"what does it mean?"
55748Well, and why did he?
55748Well, my dear girl,said the visitor, impertinently,"you took my husband, so why should I not take your lover?"
55748Well, now that poor old Wyke is dead, that''s all settled, is n''t it?
55748Well, sir, and what do you know of this?
55748Well, well; what''s the news?
55748Well, what have you to say?
55748Well,said Purse, when he came across Edwin and Claudia at the barn, whither they had gone to look at the aeroplane,"what''s to be done now?"
55748Well; then, go on; what have you to say?
55748Well? 55748 What about her accusation, dad?"
55748What about the ten commandments?
55748What advances?
55748What are you going to do to- day?
55748What boy? 55748 What business?"
55748What condition?
55748What did he intend to do?
55748What did you hear? 55748 What do I know?"
55748What do you know about him?
55748What do you know?
55748What do you mean by that?
55748What do you mean by that?
55748What do you mean, Edwin?
55748What do you mean? 55748 What do you mean?"
55748What do you mean?
55748What do you mean?
55748What do you say, father?
55748What does she want with him?
55748What does she wish to see you about?
55748What does this mean?
55748What for?
55748What for?
55748What good will that do?
55748What good will that do?
55748What happened then?
55748What have you to do with the death?
55748What have you to say?
55748What is her name?
55748What is it?
55748What is just as well, Emma?
55748What is that?
55748What is the matter? 55748 What is the truth?"
55748What is the use of blinking at facts?
55748What kind of a man is this,she wrathfully demanded,"to have such a daughter as you, Claudia?
55748What letter?
55748What matters?
55748What on earth are you doing here, Craver?
55748What reason did he give?
55748What reason had he to postpone his marriage and come down to this dismal place?
55748What right have you to say that my father is shady?
55748What should I know about the murder except what I read in the newspapers?
55748What the deuce are you wasting my time for in telling lies? 55748 What the deuce do you mean by treating me as nothing in my own house?"
55748What the dickens are you doing here, Neddy?
55748What things?
55748What was she doing at Hendon?
55748What was the exact time when the second gentleman arrived?
55748What will you do with all this money?
55748What will?
55748What''s the trouble? 55748 What''s this about your having found out who murdered Sir Hector Wyke?"
55748Where did you meet him?
55748Where is he?
55748Where is the old wretch?
55748Where''s Claudia?
55748Where? 55748 Who gave me cigarettes?"
55748Who is dead?
55748Who is it?
55748Who says so? 55748 Who says so?"
55748Who to?
55748Who took it?
55748Who''ll stay?
55748Who''s he?
55748Who?
55748Why are you not in London?
55748Why did Lady Wyke keep you such a long time?
55748Why did n''t you come down to Hedgerton to look into the affair?
55748Why did n''t you say so before?
55748Why did n''t you stop him?
55748Why did n''t you tell me, Edwin?
55748Why did she say that? 55748 Why did you steal the letter at all?"
55748Why do n''t you remember, dad,she retorted, angrily,"and treat me with some sort of respect?
55748Why do you say that?
55748Why do you speak of your mother in that way?
55748Why does she live here, George?
55748Why have you to get out?
55748Why not? 55748 Why not?
55748Why not?
55748Why not?
55748Why should n''t I force you? 55748 Why should n''t I, Craver?
55748Why should she?
55748Why should you?
55748Why was it necessary for you to hold your tongue?
55748Why, Neddy?
55748Why, ai n''t you heard all what I''ve told you? 55748 Why, darling, what is the matter?"
55748Why, do n''t you know that a will made before marriage is null and void if the marriage takes place?
55748Why, should I tell you a lie?
55748Why, what harm can she do?
55748Why? 55748 Why?"
55748Why?
55748Will I?
55748Would you risk one with me?
55748Yes, I did-- and for why? 55748 You are telling me the truth, I suppose?"
55748You believe that he may be able to prove your innocence?
55748You ca n''t find her?
55748You can put it like that if you likes,snarled Mrs. Vence, hugging herself, and rocking to and fro,"but I''d like to know when I''m to be let go?"
55748You did not expect me?
55748You do n''t think he is guilty, Edwin?
55748You do n''t think that he is guilty, Edwin?
55748You have n''t touched it?
55748You know Sankey?
55748You know that dad went down to ask Sir Hector why he had postponed the marriage?
55748You make out a very good case for yourself,she said, coolly;"but who will believe such a story?
55748You returned the cigarettes?
55748You were a friend of Sir Hector''s?
55748You wish I would n''t what?
55748Your father will worry you, of course?
55748Your father?
55748Your rival?
55748''Spose I''d given that letter to old Purse?"
55748--he raised his voice as he faced the open door--"anyone in?
55748A dashing sort of woman, ai n''t she?"
55748An''may I be so bold, miss, as to know why you was so wishful to find''er?"
55748An''no wonder''ow long he''ll stay?"
55748And do you think that I am going to be spied upon and followed and worried and chased?
55748And how much do you propose to offer me as a bribe?"
55748And to Sir Hector?"
55748And what about Neddy?"
55748And what better fortune could they wish her than to be the wife of the man she loved?
55748And what next?
55748And who is Claudia?"
55748And who told you that I was here?"
55748And why?"
55748Are n''t you ashamed to get a husband on such terms?"
55748Are you honest?"
55748Besides, what reason had Wyke to commit suicide?"
55748But I ask you if you heard any noise or quarrelling while you were in the drawing- room?"
55748But I have called to ask if you have a clue to the assassin?"
55748But I have called--""About gitting me to look arter your house?"
55748But I should like to know, what you think of the case as I have put it?
55748But are you wise in telling the sergeant what you and dad have had to do with the crime?
55748But as Claudia wants to tell me something, do n''t you think you can treat me as your guest and with courtesy for a few minutes?"
55748But had she been wise in thus driving Lady Wyke into a corner?
55748But the cash, Claudia?"
55748But the question which agonised her was: What did this particular knife mean in relation to Wyke''s death?
55748But this money----""Well?"
55748But who is she?
55748But why are n''t you singing?"
55748But why take this trouble?"
55748Ca n''t you trace it to the shop where it was bought?"
55748Claudia saw Mrs. Vence the other day-- yesterday, in fact, and she said----""Mrs. Vence or Claudia?
55748Coming down on to the beach, miss?"
55748Craver?"
55748Did he receive an explanation?"
55748Did n''t I say you suspect me?"
55748Do n''t you know my name?
55748Do n''t you think, Claudia, that you could persuade him to give up aviation?"
55748Do you feel better, darling?"
55748Do you know who he is?"
55748Do you mean Neddy Mellin?"
55748Do you mean to say that there is a will, and that I have destroyed it?"
55748Do you mean to say, Craver, that Lady Wyke murdered the man herself?"
55748Do you object?"
55748Do you think I am going to leave this house without finding who has murdered my poor friend?
55748Dr. Quin, that deceased may have taken his own life on that account?"
55748Has he come in for the title, and are you his wife?"
55748Have you any money?"
55748Have you come to tell me something likely to lead to the detection of the criminal?"
55748Her father, her lover-- was one or the other guilty?
55748His good looks, his bravery, his charming manners-- can you blame me?"
55748How can you prove all this?"
55748How could I love a woman of that kind?
55748How dare you come here and tell me that you love the man I am going to marry?"
55748How did you get the original of this?"
55748How do you know?"
55748How should I know?
55748How should I know?"
55748I hope,"ended Claudia, remorsefully,"that I am not a bad daughter in saying this?"
55748I s''pose the Rector will call, ma''am?"
55748I s''pose?"
55748I said as little as I could, and afterwards, when that Lady Wyke come and see me----"Did she come and see you?"
55748I speak plainly enough do n''t I?"
55748I suppose she called in order to help you?"
55748I suppose she told you all about the dashed thing?"
55748I suppose the man who escaped is the criminal?"
55748I think you are a nice honest girl----""Pardon me, but is n''t this conversation rather personal?"
55748I wonder if you would take me for a flight one day?"
55748If Mr. Craver is not in gaol by Monday afternoon----""Well, ma''am?"
55748Is Neddy still with you?"
55748Is that you Hall?"
55748Lady Wyke''s brows contracted in a frown,"so that girl told you of our conversation on the cliffs?"
55748Lemby?"
55748Lemby?"
55748Lemby?"
55748May I smoke?"
55748Oh, why?"
55748See?"
55748Surely you do n''t believe that dad is guilty?"
55748That Craver chap you mean, do n''t you?
55748That old woman?"
55748Then who is guilty?"
55748This is the truth, I suppose?"
55748This me?"
55748Vence?"
55748Well, Lemby?"
55748Well, and what else do I know?"
55748Well, and who has taken it now?"
55748Well, now, Mr. Craver, do you deny that you were in his house on that night?"
55748Well, then, Edwin told you, I presume, why Sir Hector wished to see him?"
55748Well?"
55748Well?"
55748Well?"
55748Well?"
55748Well?"
55748What are you getting at?
55748What did you see?"
55748What do you think, Lemby?"
55748What else could I do?"
55748What have I to do with your intentions, Lady Wyke?"
55748What the deuce have the police to do with me?"
55748When did Sir Hector come?"
55748Where does she come from?"
55748Where?
55748Where?"
55748Who are you, sir?"
55748Who is she?"
55748Who killed him?"
55748Who?"
55748Why are you waiting here, officer?
55748Why did Sir Hector write to you?"
55748Why do n''t you catch the villain?"
55748Why do n''t you trace that bicycle and catch the assassin?"
55748Why do you laugh, Edwin?"
55748Why should a baronet take a furnished house in this dull town?"
55748Why should he have fled if he was innocent?"
55748Why should n''t I have a daughter?
55748Why should n''t I marry Lady Wyke?
55748Why should n''t she come alive again, as you put it?"
55748Why, then, do you usurp the privilege of the male sex?"
55748Will you come with me and keep guard?"
55748Will you come with me?"
55748Will you do what I ask?"
55748Wo n''t you wait for its arrival, and let we say good- bye to the man I love, and for whose sake I have ruined myself?"
55748Would I have stayed quietly in the drawing- room had I guessed for one moment that a murder was being committed?"
55748Would it not be better to wait until Mrs. Vence is arrested and confesses her guilt?"
55748You are my daughter, ai n''t you?"
55748You have it, I believe?"
55748You heard no noise?"
55748You know, miss, how the post come, and how the gent opened the door?"
55748You mean you wish to know why I act in this way?"
55748You wo n''t get Edwin in that way?"
55748and how should I?
55748and why should he?
55748breathed the lad, turning white,"is the cove a deader?"
55748cried Claudia, vehemently?
55748do n''t you,"sneered the other,"And how do you intend to stop her going?"
55748who has done this?"
57755''Morning, Cleeve,called out the Captain;"where are you off to in such a hurry?"
57755Aaron, what do you think Dr. Spreckley has been telling me this morning?
57755After your hundred guineas had gone-- and they would last you but a very short time-- what did you intend to do?
57755Almost big enough for a family clock, is it not?
57755Am I sure, dearie? 57755 Am I?"
57755And are n''t both the old people proud of him?
57755And do n''t you think Dr. Spreckley did?
57755And do you think so, Dorothy?
57755And have you not just told me mine is desperate?
57755And he did not hear it?
57755And how come you to know so much about the Denisons?
57755And pray why should I want to hear from him? 57755 And she could not have come out of her room and got out of the house, you say?"
57755And the house- doors were found still fastened in the morning?
57755And the moment war is declared you must be ready to start?
57755And what do they come to spy out?
57755And what if it is dangerous? 57755 And what is the tale about Susan coming up when the snow was over, and hearing screams?
57755And what may be your business at Heron Dyke?
57755And who gave you leave, young lady, to introduce any strangers here? 57755 And why do n''t you like Dr. Jago, lassie?"
57755And why not, pray, when I say yes?
57755And will you kindly explain to us, Mr. Conroy, what business you have to be in England when you ought to be sketching black people out in Africa?
57755And you have sent for me to-- to----?
57755And your debts?
57755And, my dear, had your uncle called you?
57755Anything happened to the lad, Aaron?
57755Are the servants gone to bed yet?
57755Are you going far away?
57755Are you sure, uncle, that you are really as much stronger and better as you say you are?
57755Ay, ay, she was pleased, was she? 57755 Ay, ay-- why not?
57755Been for a ramble, eh? 57755 But how to set about doing it?
57755But still you think I ca n''t last out-- eh?
57755But the other ladies-- who are they?
57755But the proviso, sir, of which you spoke just now?
57755But there were women who went through it all, and why should not I have done the same? 57755 But there''s one question-- would she go?--would she leave you?"
57755But what is it?
57755Ca n''t we pile up the agony a bit, eh, Lennox?
57755Can not some one else share such duties?
57755Can you in any way account for it, Squire?
57755Can you tell me for what?
57755Did Cleeve notice whether anybody else went in while he was lying there?
57755Did I, child?
57755Did she send both of you?
57755Did you indeed leave them? 57755 Do I look like a spy, sir?"
57755Do n''t you see what it implies, Martha? 57755 Do we ever really understand one another in this world?
57755Do you believe in your heart, Spreckley, that I shall live to see that day-- the twenty- fourth of next April?
57755Do you know that next Tuesday will be your birthday, Philip?
57755Do you mean those she wore?
57755Do you never feel dull, Mrs. Ducie,he asked,"now that you have come to live among the sand- hills?"
57755Do you recollect at what time during the evening you looked at your watch last?
57755Do you still sleep in the north wing?
57755Do you think you are in a state to be left for a whole winter alone?
57755Empty?
57755Enlisted as a common soldier?
57755For Katherine!--and who is Katherine?
57755Had I lived, what would the end of it have been?
57755Have you any soda; and where''s your liqueur- case? 57755 Have you decided on them, Gertrude?"
57755Have you met him?
57755Have you no mother or sister-- who may fear your running into unnecessary dangers?
57755How can I thank you enough, mother mine, for this wonderful gift? 57755 How did you hear of it?
57755How do I know that you are not a spy-- a vile spy?
57755How do you think my niece is looking?
57755How is Susan?
57755How is your sister?
57755How large?
57755How much money are you possessed of?
57755How say you, gentlemen? 57755 How was it?"
57755How was my uncle looking, Captain Lennox?
57755I hope that the London smoke and London hours have not quite robbed her of her country roses? 57755 I meant, have you any private theory of your own-- as to what can have become of her?"
57755I suppose Katherine had no trouble? 57755 I suppose it was too big to carry away?"
57755I suppose you never by any chance hear from your cousin Gilbert?
57755I think, Uncle Gilbert, you understand clearly the arrangements made for our communicating with each other while I am away?
57755If you became worse-- or weaker-- you would send?
57755In case I should fall in the hunting- field, sir, or----"Or come to such an untimely end as I have come to, eh? 57755 Is he not handsome?"
57755Is it not possible that I may prefer such duties to any other? 57755 Is my sweet princess here, I wonder, and shall I succeed in seeing her?"
57755Is that intended as a threat, sir?
57755Is there nothing you can prescribe, or do, Doctor, that will guarantee me against another such attack?
57755Is this true, Uncle Gilbert?
57755Just give me my coffee- cup, will you, Freddy?
57755Look here-- I wo n''t have her told I''ve been ill. Do you hear-- all of you? 57755 Ma''am,"she said,"I think that when Katherine had just got those few things off, somebody came to her door, and-- and----""And what?"
57755My poor girl, had you not better go home and go to bed?
57755Or, if she did go out, why did she not go back again?
57755Perhaps some scheme may enter your head, Gilbert, of trying to upset the will after I am dead? 57755 Shall I bring him tomorrow, sir?"
57755Shall I tell Mrs. Carlyon a certain secret, or shall I not?
57755Shall we turn our shillings into half- crowns? 57755 Shilling points, I suppose?"
57755Sir, is not this excitement too much for you?
57755So you''re not a spy, eh? 57755 Surely you can not suspect any of the guests?"
57755Tell me the truth, uncle,she exclaimed passionately,"_ why_ is it that you are driving me away?
57755The door of whose room?
57755The dressing- room, in which they were, was locked; at least, the key was turned-- and who would be likely to intrude into it? 57755 Then you say, with him, that I shall not live to see the twenty- fourth of April?"
57755Then, in point of fact, nobody heard these cries but Susan?
57755They interest you?
57755Was the case itself stolen?
57755Was the door that opens from the dressing- room into the boudoir locked, or otherwise?
57755Was there much in it?
57755Well, and how would you set about it?
57755Well, what''s the verdict? 57755 Were you looking for a place?--are you going to town?"
57755What are we going to play?--whist?
57755What are you doing here?
57755What business do you suppose has brought me here?
57755What business had you in this part of the house at all?
57755What could have become of her? 57755 What do you think I saw last night?"
57755What does Susan think?
57755What harm can there be if I enjoy these few brief hours?
57755What have looks to do with it? 57755 What is Dorothy Stone about, to allow it?"
57755What is it?
57755What is the matter?
57755What is there in the north wing to frighten you, more than in any other part of the house? 57755 What place are you going to make your head- quarters while you are away?"
57755What were the robberies?
57755What were you peeping at the house for?
57755What''s Spreckley but an old woman? 57755 What''s that, my dear?"
57755Where''s Miss Winter?
57755Who are you, and what do you mean by disturbing honest folk at this time o''night?
57755Who are you?--and what are you doing here?
57755Who is going beside yourself and Ferdinand?
57755Who, in the name of wonder, expected to see you here?
57755Whom do you mean by''he''?
57755Why before my birthday?
57755Why could n''t you say so at first?
57755Why do n''t you forbid her going up to Heron Dyke in the dark?
57755Why do n''t you have some of the big doctors down from London, sir? 57755 Why must I be for ever thinking about this man?"
57755Why should you be chosen, Mr. Conroy, for these posts of danger?
57755Why''old''Tiplady, dear? 57755 Why, Phil, my boy, what are you doing here?"
57755Why, grandfather, what on earth has come to you?
57755Will Ella think it?
57755Will that old rapscallion never remember that I have nerves? 57755 Will the treatment answer?"
57755Will you let your portfolio remain here until tomorrow? 57755 Wo n''t you get up, master?"
57755Would she keep it to herself? 57755 You are Dr. Jago, I think?"
57755You did not expect me to assist you again?
57755You mean-- about Katherine Keen?
57755You will be sure not to forget your instructions, Hubert?
57755You would not advise me to delay doing them?
57755_ You_ lost nothing, I suppose?
57755All I ask is, do you_ believe_, do you think in your own secret heart, that I shall live to see the twenty- fourth of April?
57755And I might have another attack any day or any hour, eh?"
57755And how''s the Squire?"
57755And now, my dear, what about that strange affair concerning Katherine Keen?"
57755And pray, young sir, what other houses in the county have you sketched before you found your way here?"
57755And what probability is there that you will change it?
57755And where was he to raise the twenty- five pounds for Tiplady, or the fifteen for Camberley?
57755And why should she wish to do so?"
57755And would my uncle, taking into account all that he knows of me, be really justified in putting me into that position?''"
57755And, if I became ill at any time, could n''t you be telegraphed to?
57755Are you aware that I had my pocket picked of my purse while in your company last night-- or, rather, early this morning?"
57755Are you in earnest?"
57755Bad climate, though, Ashantee, is n''t it?
57755Bootle?"
57755But I suppose you are open to learn it?"
57755But at odd times a friend is welcome, eh?
57755But how should it be possible for you to guess?"
57755But if he cures me-- what shall you say then?
57755But next moment a proud look came into her face, and she said,"Why should I fear him more than any other?"
57755But pray what can there be about a musty tumble- down old house, like this, that you should want to make a sketch of it?"
57755But why should you be sorry?
57755But-- you speak of the young women- servants, I suppose, Gilbert?
57755By- the- way,"added the Captain, after a pause,"has she recovered her jewels, that were lost that night?"
57755Can you guess, my dear boy, what amount I have saved up, and safely put away for you in Nullington Bank?
57755Could he keep that life in Mr. Denison, which, as it appeared, Dr. Spreckley could not?
57755Could her uncle really wish her to leave him and to go away for so long when he needed companionship and care?
57755Could it be possible that the figure meant to come downstairs?
57755Could she cure them of this foolish fear, she asked herself-- or, at least, soften it?
57755Could you not, lassie?"
57755Denison?"
57755Denison?"
57755Did you hear them in the house?"
57755Do n''t we always want our dear ones with us in sickness?
57755Do you expect to make a long stay in London this time?"
57755Eh, now, come?"
57755Eh, now?"
57755Eh, now?"
57755Eh, now?"
57755Eh?"
57755Gilbert Denison stared into his uncle''s face, with eyes which plainly said:"Are you crazy, or are you not?"
57755Got a mind for a walk this fine morning, dearie?"
57755Had he been at the whisky bottle?"
57755Had she forgotten him?
57755Had she not said twenty times that tomorrow all this would seem like a dream, and that in all likelihood she and Conroy would never meet again?
57755Has it ever entered your head to think whither such mad doings as yours must inevitably land you?"
57755Have you any spies in these parts?"
57755How about your purse?--portemonnaie, or whatever it was?"
57755How came it that his image-- the image of a man whom she had seen but twice in her life-- dwelt so persistently in her thoughts?
57755How many men before me have striven to find in reckless dissipation a Lethe for their troubles?
57755How much longer would he, the living head of the house, continue to hold anything of that which earth had given him?
57755How would she greet him?
57755How_ can_ she forget?
57755I suppose we all play that vulgar but fascinating game?"
57755I wonder what she thought of me?"
57755I wonder where he has met her before?"
57755Is there a trap- door in the floor?"
57755It succeeded there: why should it not succeed with Squire Denison?"
57755Jago?"
57755Keen?"
57755May I hope that you will honour me with your company on the box seat on the occasion?"
57755Now, what prospect or likelihood is there of your living to be even seventy years old?
57755Perhaps you have put it away?"
57755She was not in bad spirits?"
57755Sketcher?"
57755So you may call-- once in a way, you know, eh-- why not?"
57755Some of you will miss me a bit, eh?"
57755That dark, sunken look about the eyes, those fine- drawn lines around the mouth, what business have they there at your age?
57755That will afford a little more excitement, eh?"
57755The Squire had had these queer attacks, it was true: but did he not always rally from them and seem as well as ever?
57755The county can boast of finer houses by the score, but what are the families who live in them?
57755They and Spreckley had a consultation, and what was the result?
57755Very stylish too; but he-- Higson, what in the world are you fidgeting about?"
57755Was Katherine in bad spirits that last evening?"
57755Was it a gesture of resignation, or of despair?
57755Was it not, rather, that the house had always the same shut- up look that it wore to- day?
57755Was there, then, really truth in the Squire''s assertion that spies were continually hovering round the Hall?
57755Were you so good?"
57755What could have become of her?
57755What do you say your name is?"
57755What matter, then, so long as they did not see each other, whether they were separated by five miles or five thousand?
57755What next?"
57755What on earth is it that they want to find out?"
57755What was that?"
57755What would Squire Denison say if it were whispered to him?"
57755Where can she be?"
57755Where was she?
57755Who was to suspect that meek- looking young jackanapes, with his gold- rimmed spectacles, had so much mischief in him?
57755Why do n''t you come and see her?"
57755Why does not the Squire call in further advice?"
57755Why drive me away?"
57755Why not, now?"
57755Why not?
57755Why not?
57755Why not?
57755Why not?
57755Why not?"
57755Why not?"
57755Why not?"
57755Why not?"
57755Why not?"
57755Why should you be required to go to Africa?"
57755Why-- why, what makes you ask that?
57755With what object could spies come to Heron Dyke?
57755Would she recognise him after all these years?
57755You are the young jackanapes who wants to sketch my house-- eh?"
57755You found the room empty yourself in the middle of the night-- was it not so?"
57755You gave my little present safely into her hands, eh?"
57755You have got back from town, eh, and brought me a message from my little girl?"
57755You have met, have you?
57755You heard of the loss then, Captain Lennox?"
57755You know my young secretary-- Hubert Stone?"
57755You will excuse me for a few minutes, will you not?"
57755are you in bed, uncle dear?"
57755cried the Squire, angrily,"is the child to set up her will against mine-- and yours?
57755what was that?"
57755why does he persist so strongly in sending me away?"
57755you hesitate?
45038''Bain''t you going no further, Sir?'' 45038 ''Did you please to be looking for the Doctor, sir?''
45038''Long of Nelson?
45038''Now, you man of Perlycross,''he cried,''you that teach the boys, who are going to be grave- robbers,--is this true, or is it all a cursed lie?'' 45038 ''Passon''s not at home,''says I;''can us give any message?''
45038''Sergeant, what have you been doing here?'' 45038 ''Who are you?''
45038Absolve me from what, Crang? 45038 All settled?
45038And how did you leave Miss Fox?
45038And now, sir, what is it as I can do for you? 45038 And what come to t''other wan?"
45038And what did you do to him? 45038 And what do''e say to the weather, Cap''n?"
45038And what odds to our clodhoppers what they do? 45038 And who has done this inhuman thing?"
45038And who was the proper one, to see to that? 45038 And you did n''t like what was done to him, did you?"
45038Any one hurt? 45038 Anything gone wrong in Perlycross, since I went away, Mrs. Muggridge?
45038Are you aware what you are doing? 45038 Are you sure that you are right, my dear?"
45038Bain''t it Perlycrass Fair, come Tuesday next?
45038Blacksmith, what o''clock is it now?
45038But I suppose I may be at hand, and ready to give assistance, if called upon?
45038But are we to believe, Dr. Gronow,asked Christie,"that you came away, and left the poor man in that helpless state?"
45038But bless my heart-- what-- what?
45038But do n''t you think, Mrs. Gilham, it is chiefly his pride that supports him? 45038 But here it is of such extreme importance to get to the bottom of this matter; and if they escape, where are we?"
45038But how can you tell, sir? 45038 But how do you know that he has done it?
45038But how much longer before you will begin? 45038 But how will you go, my dear little Cayenne pepper?
45038But if his own mother condemned him, how-- I ca n''t put it into words, as I mean it-- how can she be in a wax with my mother? 45038 But is not it what a fair- minded person would consider rather selfish?"
45038But my dear, my pretty dear, how could I ever be fierce to you?
45038But the best way probably of getting at the coast, if you wished to avoid towns and villages? 45038 But there-- come to think of it, I be a fool for asking, and you always along of Passon so?"
45038But what am I to do, to help myself? 45038 But what could the fellow have wanted it for?"
45038But what do you want me there for, sir? 45038 But what says Cicero, or some other fellow that old Dr. Richards used to drive into my skin?
45038But when will that be? 45038 But where shall I see you next Sunday, my dear?
45038But who is it, mother? 45038 But why can it not be?
45038But why should n''t we tell Dr. Fox himself, and get him to come with us? 45038 But why should so wicked a thing be done-- so horrible even from a stranger?"
45038But why, Tom, why?
45038But you do n''t think it will kill her, Jemmy? 45038 But, mother dear, how did this suspicion grow upon you?
45038Can I ever call any man a fool again?
45038Can e''do it, Jack?
45038Can mother have forgotten what day it would be, when I should receive these cruel words?
45038Can you prove you were away, sir? 45038 Can you think that I do n''t understand you?"
45038Can''e take in sail? 45038 Come, sir?
45038Did ever you know me throw you over, Harvey? 45038 Did you tell Mr. Penniloe, you had been there, Master Hopper?"
45038Do you mean Sir Thomas Waldron? 45038 Do''e know why I done that?"
45038Do''e veel a bit better now, my dear? 45038 Examining my flies, are you, Reverend?
45038Father, fathery, how much colder is the tea to get?
45038Frank, how can you ask such a question? 45038 From Sir Thomas?"
45038Going far?
45038Gowler? 45038 Have I done wrong?"
45038Have you heard the last thing that has come to light about him?
45038He is a valuable man in the parish, I suppose-- comes to church regularly-- sets a good example?
45038Heard the news, have''e?
45038How are you, sir?
45038How can I ask them for another farthing, after what has happened? 45038 How can I tell you, my dear child, until I have had time to ask about it?
45038How can I tell? 45038 How could the meanest greed of money be gratified by such a deed?"
45038How is she now?
45038How was she, I mean? 45038 Hush, Jemmy, hush?
45038I suppose you know, sir, what bitter offence you are giving to hundreds of people all around?
45038I suppose you understand it, Mr. Penniloe, though your mind is so very much larger?
45038If a''could only see it so?
45038If that is a little stir, what would be a big one? 45038 If you please, sir, will you tell us what to do, when they fall upon us?"
45038If you please, sir, you do n''t believe, do you now, in all that they says about that Spring- heeled Jack? 45038 In the name of Heaven, what the devil do you mean?"
45038Is all I do to be always vain, and worse than vain-- destructive, hurtful, baneful, fatal I might say, to the very objects for which I strive? 45038 Is it come to this already?"
45038Is it for a fish to dictate to me, how I should employ my time? 45038 Is it such a dreadful thing to go to heaven?
45038Is that the law? 45038 Is there any truth in this?"
45038Is there no man to try a fall for Devonshire? 45038 Jem Crow said to his first wife''s mother, What right have you to be anybody''s brother?"
45038Let me see, how many years is it, since I cherished such illusions? 45038 Made up your mind to give up Nicie, because her brother disapproves of it?"
45038May she get up?
45038Meaning to say, as it have spoiled your trade? 45038 My dear friend,"Mr. Penniloe began, while the hand which he laid upon his friend''s was shaking,"may I say a word to you, as an ancient chum?
45038My dear, what would your dear father say, to hear you talk like that? 45038 My_ Ichthyophylax_?
45038No message, Binstock?
45038No reply, no reply yet?
45038No, father;Mrs. Fox always called him"father,"when a family council was toward;"how could he while you-- I mean why should he be in such a hurry?
45038Not a fit, Jemmy? 45038 Not a very lofty way for me to put it,"he reflected, while Zip was being cared for in the kitchen;"but what am I to do with that strange child?
45038Not to the repairs, sir? 45038 Now shall I tell you what to do, my dear?"
45038Now, did I say it, Parson Penniloe?
45038Of what use will it be? 45038 Oh do n''t I?
45038Oh here you are at last then, are you?
45038Oh how shall I dare to tell you who it is?
45038Oh sir, is it possible that you do n''t know what has happened?
45038Oh what can I do, Sergeant? 45038 Oh, Jemmy, how can you be so cruel, when every bit of it was for you?"
45038Oh, Passon is it? 45038 Oh, a gentleman, was it?
45038Oh, he is come, is he? 45038 Oh, you have learned that, have you, my dear?"
45038Others not come yet?
45038Outside the holy county, where this outrage was committed? 45038 Pancake day, bain''t it?"
45038Passon, be you a_ h_onest man?
45038Perhaps,replied the Parson, in a sad low voice, and with a shake of his head which meant--"all very fine; but how on earth am I to get the money?"
45038Rose, who are you to understand such things? 45038 See where his arm was?"
45038Sergeant, do you see any green in my eye?
45038She? 45038 Sorrow is sent to all of us, and doubtless for our good; and if we did not feel it, how could we be at all improved by it?
45038Tamar, do you mean what you say?
45038Thank you; can you tell me why it is n''t half- past ten? 45038 That''s how you take it, is it, Sir?"
45038Then if I understand aright, Lady Waldron, you wish me to drop all further efforts for the detection of those miscreants? 45038 Then vaither,"cried the child, rising to the situation;"whatt vor do''e putt both han''s avore the eyes of''e?
45038Then why did you do it, my dear child? 45038 Then why did you send for me, sir?"
45038Then why did you speak of it? 45038 Then you know what my mother said just now?
45038They call me a hedger and ditcher, do n''t they? 45038 This must be seen to at once,"thought Mr. Penniloe, when he had sent his jealous little pet away;"but what can I do with that poor deserted child?
45038To Zeiser shalt thou go?
45038To her native land?
45038To whom can I go? 45038 Uncle Penniloe,"she began, having thus entitled him in early days, and doing so still at coaxing times;"you will not think me a sly girl, will you?
45038Upon what do you go?
45038Vaither, do''e care to plaze your luving darter, as''e used to doo? 45038 Volunteers, be''e?
45038Well, and if I says no to it, what can''e do?
45038Well, if your parish can make all that noise, what would all three of them do together? 45038 Well, you are a doctor, are n''t you now?"
45038What aileth the man?
45038What be the vally of big arms and legs, when a chap dothn''t care to make use of''un?
45038What can Fay Penniloe show like that? 45038 What could our friend have seen in that vehicle of free- trade, to make him give that horrible account of its contents?
45038What could you desire more than that? 45038 What did''e hat me vor, like that?"
45038What do you mean, sir? 45038 What do you mean?"
45038What do you think of that now, Sergeant?
45038What does that matter? 45038 What else be I come for?"
45038What else have you been for the last five minutes? 45038 What has happened?
45038What hast thou brought us for, Timber- leg''d Dick?
45038What is a month, compared to you?
45038What is all this about?
45038What is he, that his opinions should be consulted? 45038 What is her loss, compared with mine?"
45038What is her name? 45038 What is it, my dear?
45038What is it, my dear?
45038What is the mammon of this world to heaven''s angels?
45038What is the time? 45038 What is to be done?"
45038What is to become of them? 45038 What makes you look at me in that way, Jumps?"
45038What makes you look so cross at me?
45038What o''clock is it, by that time- piece, if you please, Sir Henry Haggerstone?
45038What objection have you discovered, or somebody else found out for you? 45038 What odds to us about thy soul?
45038What on earth is it all about?
45038What use to help a man, who can not help himself?
45038What was the good of telling me all those stories, when I was a little thing, except for me to understand you? 45038 What will Nicie have to say about all this?
45038What''s the matter, Crang? 45038 What''s up now, in the name of goodness?
45038What, above its own business? 45038 What, the deuce, do you mean, Tom?"
45038What, the poor Colonel waiting, Miss, and I have kept you all this time? 45038 What?"
45038Whatever be us a''coming to?
45038Where be all agoing to? 45038 Where can that be?
45038Where is your difficulty? 45038 Who be you?"
45038Who have they got to thank for that? 45038 Who is he?
45038Who is supposed to have done this horribly wicked thing? 45038 Why does Dr. Gronow address nearly all his very excellent remarks to me?
45038Why, Christie, what on earth has brought you here? 45038 Why, Tamar, my dear, can it possibly be you?
45038Why, if it comes to argument, what chance have I against you? 45038 Will he die, because I am so wicked?
45038Will it ever be so, or is it all a dream, inspired by our longings, and our self- conceit? 45038 Will you give me your word, Uncle Penniloe, that you really believe you were sent for about that?"
45038Will you tell me, Chevithorne, upon what points you rely? 45038 Will''e stand to it, Joe, afore a Justice of the Peace?"
45038Wo n''t I though say''thank you''to him? 45038 Wo n''t it?
45038Wo n''t we though? 45038 Would you do that, if it were your own case?"
45038Wult have a zettler? 45038 You know Jemmy Fox pretty well, I think?"
45038You know without any words of mine----"Is it that you really love Sir Thomas, or only that you find him useful? 45038 ''Are you mad?'' 45038 ''I''ll make it good,''she said,''what''s the odds?'' 45038 ''Tis thy tongue we want, lad?
45038''What are you doing, Bob?''
45038''What dost lack?''
45038''What the---- are you doing with that wheel?''
450385?
45038A blot again?
45038A horse?
45038A nice set of---- fellows you are, are n''t you?
45038A''could n''t look more mazed and weist, if a hunderd ghostesses was after him?"
45038After all, I should like to know, what are your proudest landowners, but mere agriculturists by deputy?
45038Ah, what are we?
45038All they blessed constables, as has got their bellyful, and ever so many wise gen''lemen too, what do''e think''em be arter us for?
45038Am I afraid of my own dear dad?
45038Am I right in supposing that?"
45038Am I to wait all night for it?
45038An offering to the Lord_ in memoriam_--a proper view of chastisement; have you tried to work it up?"
45038And I found it out at last-- at last; and did n''t I have my revenge?
45038And after all, how can it matter, when it happened so long ago?
45038And again, why did Mr. Harvey Tremlett carry off that tool of his, which I found in the water?"
45038And did anybody ever see such cheeks, even with the pink flown out of them?
45038And entered in places conspicuous?"
45038And even if the miners should believe his tale, would they combine, to lay hands on brother workmen, and hand them over to the mercies of the law?
45038And for the rest, what do I care?"
45038And for what purpose-- if I may inquire-- was that man Quevedo sent to you?"
45038And how can the sun set in the east?
45038And how can you refuse it, when it is not for yourself?
45038And how did it end?
45038And how do you know that Tucker wo n''t go home without you?"
45038And how much more must it be so, in the business of other persons, which he doubts his right to meddle with?
45038And how''s your little Mike?
45038And if I do nothing to annoy her, or even to let her know of my presumption, what right have you to make a grievance of it?"
45038And if a noble Spaniard can stoop thus, why should not a common Englishman?"
45038And if anybody insulted her----""Who could insult her, in your own house?
45038And if he were a messenger, why should he come thus, unless there were something they wanted to conceal?
45038And if she likes to put a lower price upon herself, what right have you to stop her?"
45038And more than that, by ten o''clock on Fair- night, how will His Majesty''s true lieges be?
45038And somebody else perhaps?
45038And still more, because----""Well, Master Hopper, still more, because of what?"
45038And talking of upstart schools indeed, and new- fangled education, have you heard what the boys have done at Perlycross?
45038And then I find what?
45038And then what would become of me?
45038And this is what I get done to me?"
45038And what Justice of the Peace would issue warrant upon a stranger''s deposition of hearsays?
45038And what are these among so many?"
45038And what did I care for the rest of them?
45038And what have you done?
45038And what think you I saw, in the flickering of the light?
45038And where is mine?
45038And who can declare what that was, a stranger, or his own wife, with the most convincing?"
45038And who is she to frighten me?
45038And who is there to see to the parish, or even the service of the Church, while I lie like this?
45038And why does he always look at me, when he speaks?"
45038And why have you grown such a-- well, such a size?"
45038And why?
45038And yet who was that strange visitor, of whom her daughter was not allowed to speak?
45038And you say that the Gilhams are of very good birth?"
45038And your sister-- is she to have no voice, because you are a roaring lion?
45038And, what right has he got to make such a dreadful noise?
45038Any mere sciolist, any empiric, any smatterer of the new medical course-- and where would Frank Gilham''s arm be now?
45038Any other questions, master?"
45038Anybody up there?
45038Anything more, sir?
45038Are you angry with me?"
45038Are you going to decorate a doll''s house?"
45038Are you sure that the body was ever carried off at all?"
45038As the Spanish proverb is-- but I beg your pardon, you do n''t know Spanish?"
45038Bain''t my soul worth every varden of what Betty Cork''s be?"
45038Bargain, or no bargain, now?"
45038Be you?"
45038Better than clam- pits, worn''t it now?
45038Bury us, do n''t you?
45038But I do n''t want, do n''t you see?
45038But I never saw any one half so----""Half so what?
45038But I suppose the young lady wo n''t keep her up to- night?"
45038But against facts, where are you?
45038But be''e_ h_onest?"
45038But bless my heart alive-- if you like that better-- what has all our parish been about?
45038But ca n''t you tell me how she is?
45038But can girls be magnanimous?
45038But can you not give me a little hope, Miss Fox?"
45038But can you recite to me the names of the two persons, whose lives they have replenished?"
45038But do you think that the big man Harvey really is our Zippy''s father?
45038But giving you the benefit of the doubt, Master Crang, how have you used this magic tool yourself?"
45038But go on, Crang; will you never tell me how this amounts to any proof, either of my guilt or innocence?"
45038But have you any evidence beyond suspicion?
45038But have you anything more to tell me, about that shocking thing, that is such a sad disgrace to Perlycross?"
45038But have you heard how the Colonel is to- day?
45038But how am I to help it?"
45038But how can one help it, Master Pike?
45038But how can us tell as you be?"
45038But how could they get their meat, without the butchers''shops?
45038But how do you think it will prove?
45038But how does the recovery of this tool show that you made a mistake about me, Crang?"
45038But how is she, Jemmy?
45038But how then could your mother feel so sure about Tom''s coming home almost immediately?"
45038But how was I to contradict it?
45038But if anything happens to me, who knows?"
45038But if that were so, what meant the visit of the foreigner, who had tried to escape his notice, when he left the coach?
45038But is it so?
45038But is n''t this enough to make me one?''
45038But on the other hand who could suppose that Lady Waldron would endeavour to mislead her own man of business by a trumpery deceit?
45038But she had better have gone without her supper, for I said to myself-- why not try her?
45038But surely you forget the blacksmith?"
45038But the Spanish nation-- you like them much?
45038But the mother-- the mother is such a piteous creature?
45038But there, Lord now, I want a score of nose- rings?
45038But to make any hand at angling, is it not the case that you must take to it in early life?
45038But was any of''em Colonels, father?"
45038But was any of''em, Sirs, the same as Sir Thomas Waldron was?"
45038But what I want to ask you is this-- do you think it possible that, you know who----""Harrison Gowler?"
45038But what about your good father?"
45038But what are her teeth to compare with her lips?
45038But what cares a man, with his money in his pockets, how these larger things are done?
45038But what has become of your hat, my dear boy?
45038But what has converted you from glasses against me, to glasses in my favour?"
45038But what has made him take up our case, Jemmy?"
45038But what has that to do with my_ Ichthyophylax_?"
45038But what makes you look so glum at me, my good woman?
45038But what matter?
45038But when they demanded, like Englishmen, to know why their liberty should be suddenly abridged, what happened?
45038But when you have got everybody else''s fish in your water, can you get them out of it?
45038But where shall us be off to?
45038But where will you put Susanna?"
45038But who began it?
45038But who can prove a negative?"
45038But who do you think I ran up against, to Exeter?"
45038But who is there now?
45038But who knows what to say sometimes?
45038But who that is worthy of that name can not slip round the corner gracefully, whatever is presented?
45038But why bain''t you a real lord, the same as they was?"
45038But why did the good ladies send you home so soon?
45038But why did you get into conflict with a boy?"
45038But why have I lost sight of you all these years?
45038But why is he in Malta, when the ship sailed for Bombay?
45038But would un let me spake the truth, without contempt of persons?"
45038But you do think well of him, do n''t you now?"
45038But you have never been fool enough to refuse him?"
45038But your father is ill?
45038But, come, brother Jemmy, are there no more friends?
45038By the by, I suppose you have never seen the smallest ground for suspicion of foul play?"
45038By the by, you could n''t take the rod for half an hour, could you?
45038By which of his features do you recognize him now, at four and a half, in the morning?"
45038By- the- by, could n''t you counteract her?
45038Ca n''t any of''e spake a word of sense?"
45038Ca n''t you see that I want to kiss you?"
45038Ca n''t''e speak, or wo n''t''e then?
45038Can I have a little talk with you?"
45038Can any man remember when he was stopped from making a fool of himself by the weather, or encouraged in any wisdom by it?
45038Can you ever get what is right, without paying for it?"
45038Can you see me?"
45038Can you show when you left home?"
45038Can you tell me that?"
45038Can''e dowse this here canvas?
45038Can''e reef it then somehow?"
45038Carnies, what can''e say to that now?"
45038Could she be afraid that her own son would dig up her body, and dispose of it?
45038Could they have known what had happened to his father?
45038Could you get him to visit you for a day or two, and see Sir Thomas Waldron, without letting him know why?"
45038Dares any one to doubt identity?
45038Did I not hear of a brother of hers, a Spanish nobleman I think he was?"
45038Did a monstrous elephant come, and crush his darling life out?
45038Did any of your people at the Old Barn see you, after your return from the Whetstone Pits?"
45038Did not I astonish him, the impertinent low wretch?"
45038Did she say anything about me?
45038Did the doctor say whether you might see my Frankie?"
45038Did you ever see anything so sad?
45038Did you meet any people who would know you, anywhere between midnight and morning?"
45038Did you pass near the church?
45038Did you swear that, or did you not?"
45038Do I ever argue?
45038Do n''t you know when I used to give you sugar- plums out of this horn box?
45038Do they ever take alike a startling piece of news, about their most important people?
45038Do they weigh in the same balance the discourses of the parson, the merits of those in authority, or the endeavours of the rich to help them?
45038Do you mean to turn tail upon them, Sergeant Jakes?"
45038Do you remember our Thucydides?
45038Do you seem to yourself to understand it?"
45038Do you suppose that it is a joking matter for poor Frank Gilham?"
45038Do you think I care twopence for fifty thousand brothers?
45038Do you think I would have come here else?
45038Do you think she is reading the same Psalm that we are?
45038Do''e ever do a hard day''s work?"
45038Do''e mind when the Devil wor seen on Hagdon Hill, the day avore the good lady varled all down the Harseshoe?"
45038Does Old Nick carry whipcord?
45038Does he think I would ever let him come anigh me, if it was n''t to turn him inside out?
45038Does it not solve every difficulty?
45038Does she suppose that I feel nothing, and am wholly absorbed in love- proceedings, forgetting all duty to my father?
45038Done yours, I daresay?
45038During your long time in the wars, were you ever accused wrongfully, my friend?"
45038Eh Zip?
45038Even a man can see that, ca n''t he?
45038For instance,"How is your very darling sister?
45038Fust place then, you mind hearing of the man as gi''ed that doiled zany of a blacksmith such a turn-- how long agone was it?
45038Good Heavens, is our family reduced to that?
45038Got a kiss to spare, my dear?
45038Got into a gin?
45038Has he made any confession, mother?
45038Has he said anything to you about it lately?"
45038Have I done anything to offend you?
45038Have I ever interfered, between you and Nicie Waldron?"
45038Have a drap, wull''e?
45038Have they got any Christmas parties on?
45038Have you cultivated nothing but your nails?
45038Have you heard anything about it?"
45038Have you heard from her by the latest post?
45038Have you seen Lady Waldron, since this terrible occurrence?"
45038Have you sent any one to enquire about it?"
45038Have''e made up your mind about my poor soul?"
45038Have''e see''d anything of Joe Crang, this morning?
45038He flung something on the ground and asked--"What be up now; to vetch me back up- hill for?
45038He has promised to keep in the background; but if things get lively, can I trust him?"
45038He will turn the pound handsomely, do n''t you think?"
45038Here it is?"
45038His eyes put the question to them, one after another,--"My good madam, are you still afraid of me?"
45038Holloa, you be moving there, be you?
45038How be you then, this fine morning?"
45038How can I thank you for giving them such a nice time, Sergeant?"
45038How can I think of myself for a moment, when things are so dreadful?
45038How can that new boy get on without me?
45038How can you be so stupid?
45038How can you deceive me so?
45038How could I begin, when I thought you had done it?
45038How could I help it?
45038How could I see the man, through the nag?"
45038How could I speak to you about it, before you acknowledged your infatuation?
45038How could he have started this cursed tale?"
45038How could he talk such nonsense?
45038How could she die, with all that to live for?
45038How could that fool Crang have made such a mistake?
45038How has Lady Waldron behaved about it?"
45038How is darling Christie?"
45038How long have you been with him?
45038How long is it-- a month?
45038How long is she likely to remain like this?"
45038How long will it take, to get Gowler down, and can he do any good, if he comes?"
45038How shall we let him know his danger, without risk of doubling it?
45038How would you like to be ordered to haul off from Miss Waldron, in case you were to lose your money, or anything went against you?
45038I am so tired, so weary, so worn out-- can you not see how it is destroying me?"
45038I can not promise more than that, now can I, for any bewitchment?
45038I could quote Latin, if I chose: but who would put a spill to my pipe afterwards?
45038I do n''t often make such a mistake though, do I?
45038I forbid you to say another word to him''?
45038I hope there is no mistletoe up that way, or at any rate no hateful fellow near her with it?"
45038I like them very well, but what are they to you?
45038I said--''the Doctor as is biding now with Mr. Penniloe?
45038I suppose I may go out that way?"
45038I suppose the door is not open?"
45038I suppose you never make a bet, Penniloe?"
45038I suppose, you pretend to care for me?"
45038I try to trust in God, and to say to myself--''What does the earthly part matter, after all?
45038I was just going to say--''how can we tell they did it?''
45038I will not trouble you with dark things-- but may I have a little talk with your brother?"
45038I wish I might go this very moment----""Is this all your gratitude, Robson Adney, for the goodness of the Lord to you?"
45038I would rather not have it,--dirty stuff, what good is it?
45038If I bring Gowler over, with Fox''s full approval, will you allow him to examine you?"
45038If I could only be sure of that, what should I care for anything?"
45038If I do n''t, would n''t I have the hair off his head?"
45038If I do, would n''t I polish his boots?
45038If I had my own way-- but what use?
45038If I tell you something, will you give me your word that it shall go no further?"
45038If every man stuck to his own corner only, would there ever be a dining- table?
45038If he could come, would he ever leave her thus?
45038If he were noble, and could love with all his heart, would he be so hard upon his sister, for liking a man, who is her equal in everything but money?
45038If it is too much for poor Tom, what is it likely to be for us?
45038If my brother were here, is it possible to doubt what he would do-- how he would proceed?
45038If that can be managed, will you go, at once, and at any inconvenience to yourself?"
45038If you had just gone round the horse and looked; or even sung out--''Is that you, Doctor?''
45038Inez, do you attend to me?"
45038Is Crang here, or one of his apprentices?"
45038Is Jemmy dead?
45038Is Lady Waldron not aware that I am connected with the very foremost of your Devonshire families?
45038Is he going to die?
45038Is he kicked out of the way?
45038Is he thrust aside rudely?
45038Is he very ill?
45038Is his precious life in danger?
45038Is it a provision of Nature, that her highest production should be above the rules of inferior reason?
45038Is it fair, to keep me in the dark, about the black things they are saying of me?"
45038Is it lawful to ask who they were?"
45038Is it not simple-- consistent with all that we know of such people, priest- ridden of course, and double- faced, and crafty?
45038Is it right to talk of such things now?"
45038Is it true that old Fox is dropping off the hooks?"
45038Is it true?
45038Is it usual for Dr. Gronow to be from home at night?"
45038Is it wicked?
45038Is that even fair to a young practitioner?"
45038Is that the straightforward course I should have taken?"
45038Is that the way you learn to express yourself at a finishing school?
45038Is that what you call justice?"
45038Is there anything more I can do for you?"
45038Is there anything you would like to say about her?"
45038Is there no meaning in the English language?
45038Is this a thing you mean to allow?"
45038Make way, wull''e, for the Officer of the King?"
45038Many a penny would be wanted now, and who was to provide them?
45038Mr. Polwarth of Bodmin, will you kindly stand by the side of your brother in a very noble art?"
45038Mr. Webber, will you then oblige me by being the host to Mr. Penniloe?
45038Muggeridge?"
45038Muggridge?"
45038My God, what made You make it?"
45038My father is gone; and will mother go too?"
45038Never bet with a parson, eh?
45038No port wine in the house?
45038None the worse, old chap, are you now?
45038Not Gowler?"
45038Nothing the matter with him, I hope?"
45038Now Sergeant, what is all this rotten stuff about me?"
45038Now go to Mrs. Muggridge, but remember one thing-- if you are unkind to my little Fay, how can you expect me to be kind to you?"
45038Now have you meant, from first to last, that you would ever think of marrying me?"
45038Now if you please, what is it I am charged with doing?"
45038Now put it to yourself; how would you like to be a sort of son- in- law to good Mother Gilham''s green coal- scuttle?
45038Now till you can put b. a. b. e. in the place of m. a. n. in that there text, what becomes of your Church baptism?"
45038Now was that man born full- grown, Farmer Stephen?"
45038Now what am I to do?
45038Now what do you advise me to do, about myself?"
45038Now what do you advise me to do, dear sir?"
45038Now what message do you think they sent me?"
45038Now, do''e care for the soul of an old''ooman?
45038Now, what have you to show, against this general conclusion?
45038Now, will you add to the obligation, by telling, if your tutor has no objection, why he put you under such an awful veto?"
45038Now, will''e do what I axed of''e?"
45038Now, you do-- don''t you?
45038Oh Frank, why do n''t you fall in love with Minnie Farrant-- your own Godfather''s favourite child, and they say she''ll have four thousand pounds?"
45038Oh Muggridge, Muggridge, where were you?
45038Oh Nicie, what do I care now, if the whole world goes against me?"
45038Oh what will he think of me, for leaving Nurse alone?
45038Oh you poor little persecuted pet, what did they do to you?
45038Oh, Jemmy, Jemmy, is it some horrible secret of your trade?"
45038Oh, how can you tell?
45038Oh, will you do it, Uncle Penniloe?
45038Oh, you want to get back to the fair Miss Christie?
45038Or be''e channged, and not the zame to her?"
45038Or is it a bit of acting over- acted?
45038Or would''e soonder her went to the Devil?"
45038Ort more to zatisfy this yung gent?"
45038Penniloe?"
45038Penniloe?"
45038Penniloe?"
45038Queer thing, just here, is n''t it?"
45038Quite an old frump, I suppose?"
45038Real lords?
45038Reverend, is n''t it a grand invention?
45038Reverend, is this all the theology you teach?
45038Sergeant, are you quite sure of that?
45038Sergeant, do n''t you know me?
45038Sergeant?"
45038Several times he knocked vainly at the ricketty door of the remaining room, until at last a harsh voice cried--"Come in, ca n''t''e?
45038Shall I go, and knock at the young lady''s door?"
45038Shall I never die?
45038Shall I not tell even Penniloe?
45038Shall I tell you what I shall be glad to do, without risk of offending you?
45038Shall I tell you what it is?"
45038Shall we try in any other country?"
45038So they came for a warrant against me, did they?
45038Some little matter about the clergyman?
45038Supposing that the Whetstone men are there, would they not attempt a rescue?"
45038Surely, it never could have been at Perlycross?"
45038That you admit?
45038The Lord deliver me from this life?"
45038The globe of thought being in this state, and the arm of action crippled, the question was-- would heart arise, dispense with both, and have its way?
45038The latter was not in court, nor likely so to be; and as for the blacksmith''s evidence, however positive it might seem, what did it amount to?
45038The man at the cross- roads-- would you know him?"
45038The only point is this-- after all her bad behaviour, will Sir Henry come to the scratch?"
45038The only question is-- do you wish to hear it, in the presence of this gentleman; or do you wish me to wait until he is gone?"
45038The present point is-- how are you to get out of this very nasty scrape?"
45038The question is, how shall we clear you to the world?
45038The roads about here have a manner of showing that they know not in what direction they are going?"
45038The same in your copy, bain''t it now?
45038Then after all he is not, as everybody says, even a dissolute nobleman?"
45038Then she looked earnestly at her guest, and saw that the point to be considered was-- not shall we attempt it, but how shall it be done?
45038Then what happens?
45038Then you have n''t got what you ought"--shouted Adney, with his foot upon a pinnacle--"old Peter made a saint of?
45038There ca n''t be any harm in that much, can there?"
45038There must be some want of judgment somewhere-- what else could lead to such very sad fighting?
45038They laboured to convey their legal message; but where is education, when the sky falls on its head?
45038They sneer at the family of Barca, do they?
45038Thinks I--''What''s up now?''
45038This is what you call Christianity, is it?
45038This naturally led to a vast sprawl of words, for the most part containing very little; and"what shall I say next?"
45038This was a sudden relief to Sir Henry, enabling him to offer immediate comfort, and to whisper--"how could you imagine such a thing?"
45038Timberlegs, do''e hear thic?
45038To obtain a large sum for the Service of God from an avowed-- ah well, who am I to think harshly of him?
45038Turn the bottom up, sir, and what be that but custom, same as one generation requireth from another?
45038Twelve o''clock, I think you said, will suit for our application?"
45038Vaine doctor, was n''t''un?
45038Very likely it rocked, but could they have heard it?
45038Veyther is quite well,"in answer to"How are you to- day, John?"
45038Was any of them Earls, and Marquises, and Dukes, and whatever it is that comes over that?"
45038Was everybody satisfied?
45038Was he at Peter''s, after my time?
45038Was his lovely taily broken?
45038Was it because eggs are now so scarce, and Rose wanted all of them for herself?
45038Was it just to punish one for the offences of another?
45038Was it thought impossible that I should show discretion?
45038Was n''t it clever of him?
45038Was n''t it old Short that used to put a year of the war on an oyster- shell, and you beat him by putting it on a thumbnail?
45038Was that fair to me, Jack?"
45038Was there ever such a headlong girl?
45038Was there ever such a joke?
45038We dare not limit the mercy of God; for what are we?
45038We have enough to account for that, have n''t we, Uncle Penniloe?
45038Well now, about that other thing-- why did Mr. Tremlett make off with_ little Billy_?"
45038Well, Jemmy, what is your opinion of all this strange affair?"
45038Well, what does he say about it?"
45038Well, what have''e got to say to me?"
45038Well, what shall we come to next?"
45038What are the most important hours of the day?
45038What can I do?
45038What can I do?
45038What can I do?
45038What can be done to help it?
45038What can be easier than that, I''d like to know?"
45038What can it have to do with me, or the sad affair at Perlycross?"
45038What can you urge against it?"
45038What could a''think but that Squire was there?
45038What could you be about, sir, to take such a man as that?"
45038What did Dr. Gronow say on Saturday?
45038What did you do, my good Thyatira?"
45038What difference do''e reckon now, betwixt a man and a''tatur?"
45038What do you mean to do, Sir Henry?"
45038What do you mean?
45038What do you think of that, sir?
45038What do''e say to that, Passon Penniloe?
45038What do''e think now of that there?
45038What else can a busy man do, when puzzled even by his own affairs?
45038What good can it be?"
45038What got into his old head, who shall say?
45038What had her will and heart to do with mild submission, drooping head, and brow of wan benignity?
45038What harm, if a few chaps do get drunk, and the quarrelsome folks has their heads cracked?
45038What has a brother''s approval to do with it?
45038What has a heretic minister to do with my family, and with Walderscourt?"
45038What has become of all my nerve?
45038What has become of him?
45038What has happened to her?
45038What hath become of the laws of the land?
45038What have the poor things done to offend you so?"
45038What have you done?
45038What have you kept in the background, you unfaithful soldier?"
45038What hole can there be about here?"
45038What hope can I have of ever getting at the bottom of it?"
45038What if there were something, after all, in Gowler''s too plausible theory?
45038What induced them to send it, when I''m just going away?"
45038What is her character-- at all like yours?"
45038What is it?
45038What is the first step for me to take?
45038What is the good of being a deep rogue, if you ca n''t be a shallow one?
45038What is the good of my hundred pounds a day?
45038What is the meaning of all this?"
45038What is the nearest house, this other way?"
45038What is the object of all this eloquence?"
45038What is there to fear, with the truth against black falsehoods?"
45038What lunatic has dared to say, that I had anything to do with this?"
45038What made you hide yourself down there?
45038What man can explain such things, even to his own satisfaction?
45038What man is this, who has abandoned his soul to the Evil One?
45038What motive could he discover for it?"
45038What on earth have you got into your precious noddle?"
45038What on earth induced them to put such a mighty bridge across such a petty river?
45038What on earth is it all about?"
45038What on earth should Lady Waldron do it for?"
45038What other friend had I on earth?
45038What right have you to call a pair of honest men sheep- stealers?''
45038What right have you to speak of such a dreadful thing?"
45038What rules do we ever make about them?"
45038What should I do, if people went against me like this, and would n''t even stand up to their own lies?
45038What time wor it as old Timberlegs app''inted?"
45038What was it you used to construe to me in the_ Delectus_?
45038What was the name of the man I met about the case, at your house?
45038What was to be done with Zip?
45038What was to settle it?
45038What way do you reckon the cart came from, and what was the colour, and was there any name on it, and by the sound, which way did it drive off?"
45038What will mother say, when you go home?
45038What would ten times as much be, after all that you have suffered?
45038What''s the Greek for Perlycross?
45038What''s up now?
45038What''s up now?"
45038What, have you never had a glass of wine?
45038Whatever can possess the man?
45038Whatever will they do without me?"
45038When a thing will not help to do itself to- day, who knows that it may not be in a kinder mood to- morrow?
45038When he saw this, a wild idea occurred to him for a moment-- was it not possible to arrest that pair, with the aid of their brother miners?
45038When is she coming to Perlycross again?
45038When may we hope to see him, Lady Waldron?"
45038When people behave most improperly to you, are you bound to stand upon propriety with them?
45038Where is he now?"
45038Where was I?
45038Where was he?
45038Where would his wits be, pulled out of bed at night, with a resurrection- man standing over him?
45038Who am I to find fault with any one?
45038Who be you?"
45038Who can be nearer to us?"
45038Who can have aroused your angry passions thus?"
45038Who can have half the right I have, to know all about my darling dad?
45038Who can make head or tail of this?
45038Who ever dreamed of marrying?"
45038Who gave me the horse to drive about?
45038Who has dared to vex you?
45038Who is it brings you all the luck?
45038Who is it then?
45038Who thinks of more than his own top- hat?
45038Who was he, if you please, Master Joseph Crang?"
45038Who were the real people in that horrid business?"
45038Who will be detected as the leading villain?
45038Who will come to my rescue in this wicked, impious, accursed land?
45038Who would believe my denial on oath, any more than they would without it?
45038Who would go to jail for you, Joe?"
45038Why Minnie Farrant told me, last Sunday, that she read on the best authority----""Her Bible, or her Prayer- book?"
45038Why did consciousness come back?
45038Why do n''t you say so, Frankie, my son?"
45038Why do us go to church?
45038Why have you kept so long out of my way?
45038Why should such a loving child have such a frightful trial?
45038Why then this new zeal and devotion?"
45038Why was this?
45038Why were all large ideas in his favour?
45038Why were you sent for in such haste?"
45038Why, Mrs. Gilham, was that what you used to do, when you were young?
45038Why, all the boys to Perlycross would be making mouths to- morrow?
45038Why, how have you come?
45038Why, what would all the people say, if I were only to mention it?"
45038Why, who is at the bottom of all these shocking riots, and rick- burnings?
45038Will he die, because I can not see the face of God?"
45038Will you allow me to consult my son?
45038Will you be kind enough, sir, to wait, while I go round by the stile, and get in at that end?
45038Will you do me the honour to take my arm?"
45038Will you do what I suggest about Gowler?"
45038Will you go to that place again, to do us a service no one else can do?"
45038Will you let me off for fifty, at any rate for the present?
45038Will you never destroy those black miscreants?
45038Will you never detect that abominable crime?
45038Will you never tell me anything I want to know?
45038Will you pack up all your grandeur, and have a coach and four?"
45038Will your Worships allow me to assist this poor numskull?
45038Will''e zit upon that rope of onions?"
45038Wo n''t I make her jealous, when I get home?
45038Wo n''t we have a fine time at Foxden, if father is in good health again?"
45038Would n''t old Pen stare?
45038Would n''t''em burn, if''em knowed of this?
45038Would you ever think of marrying me?"
45038Would you like to have wicked lies told about you?
45038Would you like your wife, or daughter, to feel seriously ill, and hide it as if it was no concern of yours?
45038Would you mind just holding my hat for a moment?
45038Would you mind seeing who it is-- that''s a dear?"
45038Would you object to me, if she liked me, and I had a hundred thousand pounds?"
45038Would you recognize his fraternal right in the matter, and go away quietly?"
45038Wun''t''e let me goo, Passon?
45038You are in love with my sister, are you?
45038You ca n''t get from Old Barn to Blackmarsh lane with wheels, sir, any way, can you?
45038You ca n''t help it-- can you, Squire?"
45038You find them gentle, brave, amiable, sober, not as the English are, generous, patriotic, honourable?"
45038You have heard of Blackmarsh, have n''t you?
45038You know a little Spanish, do n''t you?"
45038You may be very well in your way, Mr. Fox, for toothing, or measles, or any young complaint; but where is your experience in times of peace?
45038You mean, I suppose, that you acquit me?"
45038You remember him, of course?"
45038You remember that very-- very faithful gentleman, who came to us, about a month ago?"
45038You see how that was, do n''t you?"
45038You see that little cupboard in the panelling?
45038You see that reel of silk now, do n''t you?"
45038You thought a great deal of Sir Thomas Waldron, did n''t you?"
45038You wo n''t mind waiting, will you, sir?"
45038Zayeth so in the Baible, do n''t''un?"
45038am I never to be understood?
45038exclaimed the veteran;"whatever have I done?
45038he said, with his eyes full of tears;"keep her head like that, I will take this end; now, who the other?
45038said the philosophic Gronow, pulling out his cart- wheel like a man;"you ca n''t make them take you when they do n''t choose, can you?
45038this gentleman exclaimed;"How are you, this frightful weather?
45038what was that came by me?"
45038who lieth here?''
57370A long way in this era of telegraphy? 57370 All that passed between_ whom?_"gasped Ella.
57370All who?
57370Am I to consider our engagement at an end?
57370And did you?
57370And he saw no change in my uncle that day; no symptoms of danger?
57370And were you admitted, sir?
57370And what better way than this could I have found of investing my surplus income?
57370And what does Dr. Jago say was the immediate cause of death?
57370And who is going to listen to the advice of a young jackanapes like you?
57370And who''s to sit up for you?
57370And why could n''t you have told this afore, sir?
57370And you, Maria?
57370Are you mulling wine there?
57370Are you not cold, Miss Ella?
57370Are you well enough to venture?
57370Be you not going to sit down and have your tea, Hubert dear?
57370But now-- who could have been there? 57370 But oh, Philip-- is not that a very weak confession to make?"
57370But something has passed between you, has it not? 57370 But surely you saw him after that?"
57370But what did you find in the recess?
57370But what has frightened you?
57370But what makes you talk as if Heron Dyke and you were about to part company?
57370But why Philip Cleeve?
57370But why should one not an ordinary thief take it?
57370But why? 57370 But you have nothing tangible on which to ground your suspicions, have you, sir?"
57370But-- I say-- do you know what this put me in mind of?
57370But-- billiards, and cards, and high stakes-- how does young Cleeve find the money for it all?
57370But-- but why, papa?
57370By the way, talking of last night, what is this tale about old Dr. Downes losing his gold snuffbox?
57370By- the- bye, about those Hermandad shares?
57370Can he have gone ashore?
57370Can you attach no meaning to his words?
57370Could it have been young Stone? 57370 Did Dr. Jago come daily?"
57370Did I_ what?_Take it for a joke?"
57370Did I_ what?_Take it for a joke?"
57370Did Mr. Webb think him much changed?
57370Did Uncle Gilbert often talk about me, Aaron? 57370 Did he miss it here?"
57370Did he see my uncle?
57370Did you drop down from the sky? 57370 Did you ever see her, sir?"
57370Did you hear no footsteps, Aunt Gertrude?
57370Do you dance?
57370Do you know what day this is, Frank?
57370Do you know where he went to, sir?
57370Do you know, cara mia, what the world will call me? 57370 Do you mean to say there must be no engagement between us?"
57370Do you remember it?--the evening of the day the Squire was buried?
57370Eh?
57370For long?
57370Get on?
57370Good gracious, aunt,she cried,"what is the matter?
57370Have you any reason, sir, for thinking that he is not alive?
57370Have you been far?
57370His or mine-- his or mine?
57370How could it leave my pocket after I had put it there?
57370How did you come by this information, father?
57370I ask you a simple question: ca n''t you answer it? 57370 I hope with all my heart I was mistaken-- but where the dickens can the box have gone to?"
57370I presume that the Hermandad Mining Company is a prosperous concern?
57370I suppose the Squire''s niece, Miss Winter, looks carefully after his comforts?
57370I suppose there is no objection to my seeing Mr. Denison at once?
57370I suppose you know the object that has brought me here to- day?
57370I wonder,resumed Ella,"whether the Doctor will ever find his snuffbox again?"
57370In his title, do you mean? 57370 In trouble as usual, papa, with her servants?"
57370In what way?
57370Is Mr. Denison able to sit up?
57370Is Petherton ill? 57370 Is it possible,"he presently asked himself,"is it possible that Philip can have_ stolen_ the box?
57370Is there none, none? 57370 Is there nothing I can do for you?"
57370It is a safe and sure warning of it-- and oh, which of us is it to be?
57370It would be a grand thing for this adventurer, this journalist-- this newspaper hack, to become the master of Heron Dyke, would it not? 57370 Maria, I hope there is no foolish engagement between you and Philip Cleeve?"
57370Matrimony? 57370 Might there not be such a thing as a flaw in the title?"
57370Mr. Charles Plackett, I believe?
57370My dear Ella, I suppose you will now pension off old Aaron Stone and his wife?
57370My good sir, do you suppose I must live ever in a racket? 57370 No: how should I?
57370Now, grandfather, why do you go on at this foolish rate?
57370Oh, are you blind?--cannot you guess?
57370Oh, my sweet mistress, is there no hope for me?
57370Oh, you think him so, do you, Granby?
57370Paralysis?
57370Put up to keep out the draughts?
57370Rather strange, is it not, that Miss Winter should stay away from him-- in his present precarious condition?
57370Shall you have it cried?
57370Stay a moment,said Eliza, a thought striking her:"does your mother think all this that you''ve been telling me?--does she want me to watch?"
57370Suppose I send Mark to the Vicarage, sir?
57370Suppose you should find that, by some mischance or other, I am poor instead of rich? 57370 Tea?
57370The young lady at Heron Dyke?
57370Then there was-- there is-- no fraud, as far as you are aware?
57370Then why did you say he was on board? 57370 This lawyer who is coming,"said he,"is he well acquainted with the Squire?"
57370Wait for what? 57370 Was anyone of the servants up in the north wing that evening at dusk, walking about the passages there?"
57370Was he conscious when he died?--who talked with him last?
57370Was this in the north wing?
57370What are they each? 57370 What are they?"
57370What are you laughing at?
57370What did he say?
57370What do I want with the dog- cart?
57370What do you mean, Captain Lennox?
57370What do you mean?
57370What do you mean?
57370What fright?
57370What have I done? 57370 What in the world is coming to us all?"
57370What is amiss?
57370What right has Mr. Kettle to set himself up as a censor of my morals and conduct?
57370What strange chance was it that brought you here to- day?
57370What to do, sir?
57370What was it that she would see by waiting a little while?
57370What work?
57370What would you do?
57370What''s amiss?
57370What''s he good for? 57370 What-- dead?"
57370What_ can_ he do without them?
57370What_ was_ the treatment?
57370Whatever do you ask me that for, sir?
57370When I was a young spark-- but where''s the use of talking?
57370When did you have it last, sir?
57370When did you see him last?--how long before his death? 57370 Where can the lad be-- and what has become of him?"
57370Who are you?--and what do you want with me?
57370Who can tell when we shall see each other again?
57370Who does not want to make a cool hundred or two? 57370 Who is on board the brig?"
57370Who on earth was that?
57370Who was what?
57370Whom may that be?
57370Why did not Fate make me your equal instead of your servant? 57370 Why not any other young fellow?"
57370Why should I speak them-- and injure you? 57370 Why, Granby, how the deuce do you know all this?"
57370Why, bless me, sha n''t I and Plympton be here? 57370 Will you not let me go?
57370Will you promise to give up this man?
57370Wo n''t you go out for a short walk with me, Miss Winter?
57370Wo n''t you please let me speak with you?
57370Would you like a lift as far as I go?
57370Yes; why not?
57370You are better now?
57370You are certain that there is no likelihood of a third call being made, Lennox?
57370You are not afraid, are you?
57370You did not leave it in the carriage?
57370You do n''t know Furness, I think? 57370 You have not a better word to say to me?"
57370You will not tell me who it was who gave you this information?
57370You would not dare to detain me?
57370''And how do we find ourselves to- day, Doctor?''
57370A little wind, a little sunshine, and the possibility of a shower: what more could any reasonable creature wish for?
57370Am I to look upon it that all is at an end between us?"
57370And then, on my side-- how can I marry?
57370And what are those mysterious hints which papa threw out of something still worse?
57370Are they treating him to a course of slow poisons?
57370Are you speaking for yourself?"
57370As to the state they fell into during our stay abroad, was not I away myself?
57370At the same rate how long would it take him to squander the whole of it?
57370But Hubert Stone, she mentally asked herself-- what could have become of him: was he below still?
57370But now-- are you listening?"
57370But on what part of the shore had he landed, and where could he be staying?
57370But-- would it come in time?
57370By whose orders was this cruel thing done?"
57370Could Miss Winter say more?
57370Could anything but madness account for his actions this afternoon?
57370Could he become your husband without a radical alteration in his mode of life?
57370Could he frustrate this love?
57370Could he make use of this knowledge, dangerous though it might be, to part them?
57370Could it be that she felt an especial interest in him?
57370Could it be that the only link between themselves and the shore was really broken?
57370Could it be that the recent visit of Edward Conroy had anything to do with these idle fancies?
57370Could not_ you_ have suggested to him that I ought to be here?"
57370Did I seem to be much in his thoughts?"
57370Do n''t you see that, Philip?"
57370Do you suppose I wanted the bit o''money his will gave to me?
57370Do you think I have willingly brought this misery on myself?
57370Ella shuddered when the news was told her: could it be that Hubert Stone was still on board?
57370Had he gone upstairs for any purpose?"
57370Had he inherited the awful malady, and had this day''s agitation brought it suddenly out?
57370Had it anything to do with the strange disappearance of Katherine Keen-- and with the superstitious reports that arose afterwards?
57370Had she any faintest premonition, had her heart secretly warned her that a momentous instant was at hand?
57370Has anything happened to him?"
57370Has anything happened?"
57370Has n''t the master got to be kept quiet, I''d ask you?
57370Have we in truth got a black sheep among us?
57370Have you any reason for suggesting this?"
57370Have you no pity for her?"
57370He has said something to you, eh?"
57370He must have had a motive: what was it?"
57370How account by any reasonable theory for the fright undergone by Mrs. Carlyon?
57370How could any breeze be pleasant at sea?
57370How could he redeem it?
57370How did he come in?
57370How else did you come?"
57370How glad she would be to endow him with every worldly good-- and who seemed so fit to be the master of Heron Dyke?
57370How was it possible for me daily to see you and not love you?
57370How would it be possible?"
57370Hubert went on smoking in silence, lighting a second cigar when the first one was finished, and-- what could Ella say?
57370I believe you have met Mr. Denison before?"
57370I presume you are aware of the purport of my visit-- the cause which brings me here?"
57370I suppose-- I suppose,"added Dr. Downes, slowly and thoughtfully,"that Cleeve did not take the snuffbox to play me a trick?"
57370I was the first person to enter the room in the morning; and-- what do you think I found there?"
57370If so, can she be aware how matters are going on at Heron Dyke?
57370If so, who is he?"
57370Is this letter from Miss Winter?
57370Jago----?"
57370Look here, Mrs. Stone: you remember the evening of the Squire''s funeral?"
57370Might there not, after all, be some foundation for poor Susan''s wild fancies?
57370Now, Maria, what is the meaning of it?"
57370Now, however, that my six months''extradition are at an end, can not you name a time for my return to Heron Dyke?
57370Oh, wo n''t you help me?
57370Perhaps you do n''t remember?"
57370Perhaps you''d like to hear what he says?"
57370Petherton-- Petherton, I say, where are you?"
57370Putting all that aside, he is not progressing in his profession; so what likelihood is there of his making a home to take a wife to?"
57370Stolen it to make money of for his cards and billiards?"
57370Stone?"
57370Then, so far as you know, none of the household went up?"
57370Toynbee?"
57370Was anything seen there that night, sir, or heard?"
57370Was it not likely that he was one in reality?
57370Was she the mistress of Heron Dyke?
57370What I say to myself at odd times is this-- Why should it fall down the very night the master died?"
57370What brought that look of terror into Aaron''s face when she repeated to him Hubert''s words?
57370What could he mean by absenting himself?
57370What could his presence be wanted for?
57370What could she do but listen?
57370What could she do but put out hers in return?
57370What do you say, Miss Ella, to letting me pull you and Mrs. Toynbee as far as the_ Seamew_ and back?"
57370What do you suppose I was thinking the other day, Frank?
57370What do you want?"
57370What does all this mean?"
57370What happy accident had brought Conroy, of all people in the world, to her rescue?
57370What has the Doctor-- Jago-- to say about it?"
57370What have I done?
57370What have I done?"
57370What have you been doing with yourself all this long time?"
57370What is it that constitutes her nameless charm?
57370What is running in your head, Maria?"
57370What possesses the lad?
57370What then?
57370What was that madman doing below?
57370What would you say then to your intended wife?"
57370What, in fact, had become of him?
57370What?"
57370What_ did_ become of her?"
57370When he had her heart already, why should she refuse him possession of her hand?
57370Whence had come and whither had vanished that figure which the two housemaids had seen gazing down upon them from the gallery?
57370Where was he at that moment, and what was he doing?
57370Where was he, then?
57370Who and what could it have been?
57370Who knows?
57370Who now can tell?
57370Who would ever take him to be the grandson of a servant?"
57370Whose hands had covered up the looking- glass in Katherine''s bedroom?
57370Why am I to be tabooed in this way?"
57370Why do n''t you marry?"
57370Why had he sent her away when he was so ill?
57370Why had he so persistently refused to allow her to return earlier?
57370Why had he trembled to that strange excess?
57370Why has he not more strength of mind?
57370Why not?"
57370Why should he not see them-- if he is well enough?"
57370Why should the Squire wish to isolate himself thus?
57370Would she ever see him again on earth?
57370Would they hear strange sobbings and sighings in the night?
57370You gave no scorn or contempt to him: yet am I not as good as he, and do I not love you a thousand times better?"
57370You have been back a week, have you not?"
57370and why had his emotion been so great?
57370can not you guess?
57370cried she, anger bubbling up in the reaction of feeling,"how came you to frighten me like that?
57370echoed Mrs. Toynbee:"why should they not be safe?
57370have I not given you reasons enough?
57370have you forgotten the promises you made to me before I went to Leamington?"
57370he resumed, his manner changing to softness,"why do you scorn me thus?
57370man, why do n''t you do so, then?"
57370that he had but sent for me!--How was it, Aaron, that he did not let me come home in time for his birthday?
57370what does it mean?
57370would a ghostly face stare suddenly out upon them from behind some dark corner when they least expected it?
57370would it come before that caged madman succeeded in breaking loose?
57066A cab? 57066 A very singular circumstance, is it not?"
57066About your money, Herr Maitrank?
57066After all, what are a few minutes?
57066And if I refuse to tell you any story?
57066And if I refuse your offer?
57066And if she does get away?
57066And in the meantime what do you propose to do?
57066And let that woman go? 57066 And now what does it all mean?"
57066And the mending will be a matter of time?
57066And touching this doctor?
57066And what can I do for you?
57066And what do you want for this?
57066And what do you want with me?
57066And what happened after that?
57066And where is the money you speak so casually about?
57066And why not?
57066And why?
57066And you know all about her early haunts?
57066And you say you saw all this?
57066Anything to do with the mystery?
57066Are there more horrors to come, dearest?
57066Are they bad?
57066Are we getting near the spot?
57066Are we waiting for somebody?
57066Are you astonished?
57066Are you better now?
57066Are you nervous tonight?
57066Are you not going to speak first?
57066Are you not the detective who has the Corner House mystery in hand?
57066Are you quite sure,he asked,"that Mamie is her own child?"
57066Are you? 57066 Box 11a, grand tier?"
57066But as to your own trouble, Gordon, dear Gordon, why do n''t you confide in me?
57066But how did you know that I had it?
57066But is there anything in the letters?
57066But what can I suggest? 57066 But why must it have been me?"
57066But why?
57066But will those people be punished eventually?
57066But would you mind telling me one thing? 57066 But you are going to get it?"
57066Ca n''t you guess what that rope is for?
57066Can I be of any service to you, Herr Maitrank?
57066Can I help you?
57066Can we really afford it?
57066Can you tell me the name of the paper?
57066Come my man, what''s your name?
57066Come to tell me you have made a discovery, eh?
57066Covered all over with orange blotches, eh?
57066Did Countess Lalage allude to it this morning?
57066Did anybody ever hear so foolish a fuss? 57066 Did n''t I say twelve sharp?"
57066Did n''t you hear something?
57066Did you ever publish it?
57066Did you ever put me in it?
57066Did you find out anything about the past of those fellows?
57066Did you know that she was coming here?
57066Did you see anything queer last night, Miss?
57066Did you see that?
57066Did you see that?
57066Did you speak to the Spanish woman?
57066Do I look very dreadful?
57066Do n''t you see that as an honest man I am bound to speak out? 57066 Do they contain anything likely to help us, Prout?"
57066Do you know how I got here? 57066 Do you know who I am, Countess Lalage?
57066Do you mean now?
57066Do you mean to say you know anything about it?
57066Do you propose to go any further today?
57066Do you want to bring the police upon me?
57066For me?
57066Found anything out, mate?
57066Got them,he croaked,"What do you think of this, my noble Countess?"
57066Got your case complete?
57066Had you not best get him into the house?
57066Have I been asleep or what? 57066 Have you got the woman?"
57066Have you got the woman?
57066Have you made any new discoveries?
57066Heaven be praised you are no countryman of mine? 57066 How did you find me out?"
57066How did you find that out?
57066How did you get here?
57066How did you know it was the last of my store?
57066How did you know that?
57066How do you know that the letter in your possession really was written by the murdered man?
57066I have practically effected a loan with the firm of Bernstein of New York-- why do you laugh?
57066I rather hoped-- indeed, I have still hopes-- that the culprit----"What on earth are you talking about?
57066I suppose you can lay hands upon him at any time?
57066I wonder who Herr Max Kronin is?
57066I''m going to make a late call?
57066If I come again can you refresh your memory?
57066In other words you propose to drag my unlucky self into house- breaking?
57066Is it a very bad puncture?
57066Is it the corner house again?
57066Is not that your signature endorsed on every one?
57066Is that really a fact?
57066Is that the woman by any chance?
57066Is there anything wrong?
57066Isidore, why did n''t you offer to lend her money on her tiara?
57066Leon--?
57066Miss Lawrence?
57066Mr. Harcourt, are you quite clear and certain of your facts? 57066 My darling,"he whispered,"what does it all mean?"
57066My dearest girl, what is the matter?
57066Need you ask?
57066No one to help me at all?
57066Not from those people who advertise, Gordon?
57066Nothing the matter, I hope?
57066Now what does it mean?
57066Now where did they hide themselves?
57066Now where does this come in?
57066Now, what''s the good of that?
57066Numbers?
57066Of course, you know where the Dutchman is to be found?
57066Oh, ca n''t it? 57066 Oh, then you knew that I was in England?"
57066On what charge, may I ask?
57066Party of the name of Lalage?
57066Paste?
57066Perhaps already disposed of elsewhere?
57066Poor Leon-- is he dead?
57066Rather a sensational bit of copy for the papers over the inquest, eh? 57066 See anybody leave the house?"
57066She was glad to see me better; she breakfasted with Mamie and myself, and she was altogether charming, but----"But? 57066 So I have been corresponding with you all the time?"
57066So you know nothing of what has been happening lately?
57066So your friend is in London?
57066So? 57066 Something in your line?"
57066Something we can go by?
57066The name of your witness?
57066Then how did I get back again?
57066Then why did not you suggest a search there?
57066These banknotes were paid to your firm?
57066Was he murdered?
57066Was it madness, or what? 57066 Well, murderess?"
57066Well, what is it you want tonight?
57066Well,Prout said thoughtfully,"seeing that you were traced to Lytton Avenue, I suppose that you found her there?"
57066Well?
57066What are the boys saying in Piccadilly?
57066What are you going to do?
57066What better time could we have than tonight?
57066What can I do for you? 57066 What can I do for you?"
57066What can it all mean?
57066What did Mr. Balmayne tell you?
57066What do you know about him?
57066What do you make of it?
57066What do you propose to do, then?
57066What do you think of it?
57066What do you think of that?
57066What do you think of that?
57066What do you think of the letter, sir?
57066What does it all mean?
57066What does it matter? 57066 What does the game mean?"
57066What game were they playing?
57066What has happened?
57066What have I done?
57066What interest is there to you?
57066What is it now you have got?
57066What is it, darling?
57066What is it?
57066What is the matter, sweetheart?
57066What is the matter? 57066 What is the meaning of this?"
57066What on earth is that?
57066What time would that be?
57066What was the fuss about?
57066What''s all this mean?
57066What''s the good of that theatrical nonsense? 57066 What''s the theory here, sir?"
57066What''s this about a woman?
57066What''s to be done now?
57066What, the Corner House victim? 57066 When did you see them?"
57066Where am I?
57066Where are the diamonds?
57066Where did you get that key from?
57066Where does anything happen that touches on this case? 57066 Where is my brother?"
57066Where''s the sense in making that noise?
57066Which means that you are not going to tell me?
57066Which part of them?
57066Who is to testify to that? 57066 Who''ll lend me a few hundreds?"
57066Why did n''t you bring your latchkey as I suggested, instead of leaving the front door open? 57066 Why did you keep me waiting so long?"
57066Why do n''t you come and join the force?
57066Why do n''t you speak; what have you got to say before I put the knife into your heart?
57066Why do you foist me off with paste jewels?
57066Why do you grovel there? 57066 Why should I be afraid to confess it?
57066Why should I deny it?
57066Why should I have killed him?
57066Why should I? 57066 Why should I?"
57066Why, what''s this?
57066Why?
57066Will you be so good as to tell me how?
57066Will you come in? 57066 Will you kindly step out?"
57066Will you stay after the others have gone and tell me how you learnt my early history?
57066Would you mind?
57066Wrong?
57066You and I are going there secretly?
57066You are going to arrest Countess Lalage?
57066You are quite certain of that?
57066You are quite sure of my position?
57066You are quite well and blooming?
57066You are sure she has not been near Lytton Avenue?
57066You do n''t mean to say that you''ve got her here, sir?
57066You fancied that you saw something besides the light?
57066You got my letter, Luigi?
57066You hear that?
57066You know me?
57066You left that lady behind you?
57066You poor little soul?
57066You remember the case of my wife?
57066You saw a light? 57066 You wo n''t mind?"
57066You would be prepared to swear that in a court of law?
57066You would n''t force her to confess?
57066Your brother''s name was Leon Lalage?
57066After all, what could the Countess do?
57066After all, what was the accusation?
57066Am I making any kind of accusation against you?
57066And I said to him,''Dog, where is Leona Lalage?''
57066And where do you think it was?"
57066And who are you?"
57066And who would look at me when she was about?"
57066And why did Hetty Lawrence do this thing?
57066Any fresh loan on the banks of the clouds or castles in the air or anything of that kind?
57066Are you going to advertise those notes?"
57066Are you going to do anything, or shall I give the alarm?"
57066Are you there?"
57066Are you up to it or not?
57066At a little before five----""How do you fix the time?"
57066Bah, why argue over it?"
57066Bruce?"
57066Bruce?"
57066But has it ever struck you why?"
57066But how much longer would she be called upon for the sacrifice?
57066But how was that to be done?
57066But might not this be all part of the conspiracy by which her lover''s good name had terribly suffered?
57066But what had become of the other notes?
57066But when?"
57066But who would play her a silly prank like that?
57066But why do you smell that letter?"
57066But why not?
57066But you are still of the same opinion-- you still value the good name of your dead wife?"
57066By the way, I hope your Continental friend is not subject to apoplexy?"
57066Ca n''t you make anything out of it?"
57066Ca n''t you see it?"
57066Can you guess where the house is?"
57066Captain Gifford?"
57066Charming swindler, where is my money?"
57066Did it ever strike you that the child was no relation to Leona Lalage?"
57066Did she find out anything about us last night, Gordon?"
57066Did we not raise money on the San Salvator property from him also?
57066Did you ever notice how the smell of certain flowers recalls vivid recollections?"
57066Did you ever see a more marvellous imitation?
57066Do n''t you think that she is a little like me?"
57066Do you happen to have any idea who came with those particular notes last night?"
57066Do you know that the rest of the missing notes have been in my possession?"
57066Do you know?"
57066Do you recollect the flower farm near Ajaccio?"
57066Do you suppose it was chance that you were picked out of all the doctors in London?"
57066Do you think I want to keep you near me an hour longer than is necessary?"
57066Do you understand me?
57066Else why would Countess Lalage have been so far from the centre of the small world called Society?
57066Even a rascal like myself can be possessed of a heart, eh?"
57066Ever heard of the Countess Lalage?"
57066Fool, do you want to stand in the dock?
57066For instance----""Well?
57066Given a man of energy and pluck who has learnt its story, and what is to prevent his taking possession and living here as if the place was his own?
57066Got the numbers?"
57066Had not diamonds inspired some of the most awful crimes since crime began?
57066Has the blow fallen?"
57066Have I been ill?"
57066Have there been any other signs and manifestations?"
57066Have you come for me?"
57066Have you found anything?"
57066Have you got her?"
57066Have you got those notes?"
57066Have you killed a burglar or something of that kind?"
57066He was sitting in the darkness waiting for Isidore----""Then you have n''t even got the notes?"
57066He would recognize her now as his late wife''s companion, but once her disguise was put aside would he recognize the Countess Lalage?
57066Her own child, Bruce?
57066How are you going to prove that I did so?"
57066How could you have got into my rooms?
57066How did you know I was here?
57066How did you know that?"
57066How did you manage it?"
57066How do you get over that?"
57066How if Hetty had discovered this and was taking this course to prevent her keeping her appointment?
57066How many times did the hall gas go out when you were there?"
57066I let them believe it at the risk of my neck, and why?"
57066I need not ask you if you are personally acquainted with Maitrank, Isidore?"
57066I suppose you can manage to let me down safely?"
57066I suppose you can see that?"
57066If I could only, have a few minutes''private conversation with you, doctor?"
57066If you were asked to swear to her identity you could n''t do it I suppose?"
57066In one of those windows?
57066In the Corner House?
57066Is n''t that right, sir?"
57066Is not that so?"
57066Is that really a fact?"
57066Is the coast clear?"
57066Is there no spark of manhood in you at all?
57066It came from a weekly paper----""I know-- I mean, what do I mean?"
57066Lady Longmere asked quizzically?
57066May I guess that you are going to meet Leona Lalage here tonight?"
57066Mr. Charlton, will you trust me for four and twenty hours with this letter?
57066Murderer may have washed his hands, which is exceedingly likely, but what did he want blacklead for?"
57066My boy, I feel quite certain that this will lead to-- what''s up?"
57066Not that we are in the least likely to find anything there?"
57066Now was that some one a man or a woman?"
57066Now what are we to do?"
57066Now which of you was it who came here tonight with these particular notes in your pocket?"
57066Now, did it not strike you as strange that nobody should worry about the other half?"
57066Now, during the last hour have you heard anything of an escape from Holloway?"
57066Now, how did you get it?
57066Now, will you be so good as to proceed?"
57066Now, will you please to examine those notes, doctor, and tell me the numbers?"
57066Of course, you got it?"
57066Or do you wish to sell me any diamonds?"
57066Question is, What''s the explanation?"
57066See, are those the ones you passed over to me?"
57066See?"
57066Shall I go to the police and tell them everything or shall I respect confidence?"
57066Should you like to have a little bit of an adventure this evening?"
57066Tell me at once where I can find Leona Lalage?"
57066The Countess owes you money?"
57066The great question was: Had she poisoned herself, did she take poison by misadventure, or did I kill her?
57066The question is, who paid those notes over, who was it who first brought them into the room that night?"
57066Then what could possibly have happened?
57066Then why the dickens did n''t the officer on duty notice it?"
57066Then you know why I am here?"
57066Was it his duty at once to go to the police and tell them all he knew?
57066Was it not on the same evening as the murder?"
57066Was it possible that some crime or tragedy was being enacted behind those grimy walls, all unknown to the police?
57066Was she merely frightened, or had she learnt a great deal more than the conspirators imagined?
57066Was that white scared visage her own sunny, happy face?
57066Was there any real meaning in the chatter, or was it all for the purpose of delay?
57066Was this some startling new plot that they had been working on him?
57066Was this the work of the hidden enemy or another cruel stroke of ill fortune?
57066Well, what do you want?"
57066Well?"
57066What I am uneasy about is this: How did you know I was coming, and why?"
57066What better than blacklead, that could be removed from the bright parts with a damp rag and restored with a touch?
57066What can it possibly have to do with the matter?"
57066What do I think it was?
57066What do you propose to do now?"
57066What do you say?"
57066What do you say?"
57066What do you see?"
57066What do you think of that?"
57066What have they been doing to you?"
57066What is the address?"
57066What on earth could have induced him to grow so friendly with that fellow Balmayne all at once?"
57066What was there in this trivial conversation that held this woman almost breathless?
57066What would anybody want gas for at this time of the day?
57066What''s this about some man picked up in the garden?"
57066What''s tuberose?"
57066When I took this place a year ago so that I could be near-- what am I talking about?
57066When and where should Leona go now?
57066Where are the men?"
57066Where did you get those notes?
57066Where do you carry your latchkey?"
57066Where is Richards?"
57066Where shall I drive you?"
57066Where shall I have the pleasure of sending it for you?"
57066Where was he detained?
57066Where was she to find the matches, for she had none of her own?
57066Which pocket did you place them in?"
57066Who told you?"
57066Why did n''t you decline to take them last night?"
57066Why did you go from the room?
57066Why did you kill him?"
57066Why did you tell me that you had never heard of the tuberose perfume?"
57066Why does the lady reside so far from Park Lane or Belgravia or Mayfair?"
57066Why have you done this thing?"
57066Why-- why-- oh, what has happened?"
57066Why?
57066Why?
57066Why?"
57066Will you come and see the Countess now?"
57066Will you please go up at once?"
57066Wo n''t you be the first to congratulate me on my engagement?"
57066Wo n''t you have your guests in to supper?"
57066Woman, what has become of my brother-- your husband?"
57066Would you have produced those notes above all others if they had not been the last you possessed?"
57066Would you like to see it and compare it with my own ordinary handwriting?
57066Would you like to take my place, Lady Longmere?"
57066You acted on that letter?"
57066You do n''t like her, Hetty?"
57066You have brought your latchkey as I asked you?"
57066You have heard of the tragedy?"
57066You hear that knocking at the door?
57066You know Lefevre of Lyons?"
57066You recollect that?"
57066You take out your motor car, so cunningly disguised in blacklead----""That is true; but how did you know?"
55617''And why not? 55617 ''How so?''
55617A mystery also, eh, Doctor?
55617A schoolmaster?
55617About Melstane and Miss Marson?
55617Absolutely nothing?
55617Ah, why, indeed?
55617Ah, you scheme well?
55617Ai n''t you goin''out?
55617All right; but why are you so anxious to get the packet?
55617All?
55617Am I so bad as that? 55617 An''for wy, monsieur?"
55617And Melstane''s death?
55617And Miss Marson?
55617And Miss Varlins?
55617And Octavius Fanks?
55617And after you showed Mr. Melstane out?
55617And by whom, monsieur?
55617And for why? 55617 And got-- and got the letters?"
55617And he came?
55617And is that all you know?
55617And suppose I do n''t find it?
55617And that condition?
55617And the name on the letter?
55617And the opinion of monsieur?
55617And then?
55617And this pill- box?
55617And what did he say?
55617And what do you say?
55617And what has Melstane''s death to do with me?
55617And what''s that got to do with me?
55617And why?
55617And you are sure you only made up twelve?
55617And you like your profession?
55617And your object?
55617And your theory?
55617Anything to do with''Spolger''s Soother, a Good Night''s Rest''?
55617Apropos of what?
55617Are all the letters there, Miss Varlins?
55617Are all the letters there?
55617Are you a gentleman?
55617Are you afraid of Judas seeing those letters?
55617Are you aware, Monsieur Guinaud, that you stand in a very dangerous position?
55617Are you going to be serious?
55617Are you going to see him to- night?
55617Are you going to wait?
55617Are you guilty?
55617Are you ill? 55617 Are you sure you are not making a mistake?"
55617Are you sure?
55617Are you well?
55617Ask me what?
55617At Wosk& Co.?
55617But are you not going to examine them?
55617But are you sure you have no packet addressed to Miss Judith?
55617But surely he would refuse to receive it?
55617But what can he gain by showing them,said Fanks, sagaciously,"seeing they contain nothing of importance?"
55617But what has the Jarlchester Mystery got to do with us?
55617But what is your theory?
55617But what would be his motive in getting rid of Melstane?
55617But why all this mystery?
55617But why should he act as he is doing?
55617But why should he keep it?
55617But why two morphia pills?
55617But you can exculpate yourself?
55617But you''re not going to tell me a woman killed him?
55617But your reasons?
55617By the way, how long are you going to stop here?
55617By the way,observed Fanks, suddenly,"was she not engaged to Melstane?"
55617By whom?
55617By-- by that Frenchman?
55617Can I tell monsieur anything else?
55617Can you not guess the secret of my heart? 55617 Confound it, Fanks, why do you treat me like a child?"
55617Correct so far; but how the--"And the gentleman''s name, Japix? 55617 Dare say what?
55617De fog is still heavier, monsieur?
55617De monsieur weeth de pilules did he geeve dem to monsieur?
55617Departs for what place?
55617Did he take it?
55617Did n''t you tell me the other day that you thought Judas held all the threads of the case in his hand?
55617Did the medicine Dr. Japix prescribed do you good?
55617Did you ask if Mr. Melstane had arrived?
55617Did you make up the pills?
55617Did you not see the corpse?
55617Did you see the pill- box when you were in the room?
55617Did you send any letters to him this month?
55617Did you suspect him also?
55617Do n''t you remember his name?
55617Do n''t you? 55617 Do you know I can arrest you on suspicion of murder?"
55617Do you know anything, Miss Varlins?
55617Do you know what he intends to ask you? 55617 Do you know where it was found?"
55617Do you know why he is coming here to- night?
55617Do you mean to say he is concealing something?
55617Do you mean to say that Roger Axton murdered Melstane?
55617Do you read the papers?
55617Do you recognise the handkerchief now?
55617Do you recognise this handkerchief?
55617Do you remember what Dickens says in that novel?
55617Do you remember what took place?
55617Do you suspect any one?
55617Do you think he would consent to take money instead?
55617Do you?
55617Does any one else come into this room?
55617Does he suffer from sleeplessness?
55617Does monsieur know when the gentleman left this town?
55617Drat it, what''s come to the man, sir, as you''re all talkin''of him? 55617 Eh, how so?"
55617Eh, mon ami, qui sait?
55617Eh, truly,said Judas, with a sneer,"and for why, monsieur?
55617Eh, truly? 55617 Eh, who knows?
55617First, who were the people who left as I came in?
55617Gave himself the death?
55617Gimp,said his master, sharply,"do you remember the day Mr. Melstane called?"
55617Good heavens, Axton, what are you talking about? 55617 Have you heard how Miss Marson is to- day, Spolger?"
55617Have you read these?
55617He must have been bad if you speak ill of him,observed Fanks, reflectively;"kind of man to have enemies, I suppose?"
55617Here, postman, did you deliver a letter to Monsieur Guinaud at Wosk''s shop about the beginning of this month?
55617How could I have seen him? 55617 How dare you insult Miss Varlins?"
55617How did she know that?
55617How did you account for the morphia?
55617How did you find out?
55617How did you hit upon that idea, my friend?
55617How did you know it was the bundle you wanted?
55617How do you know he went to Jarlchester?
55617How do you know that?
55617How do you know that?
55617How do you know?
55617How do you know?
55617How do you know?
55617How so?
55617How so?
55617How so?
55617How so?
55617How? 55617 I beg your pardon, Judith?"
55617I innocent?
55617I kill Sebastian Melstane?
55617I suppose she called?
55617I suppose she loves him?
55617I suppose you did n''t give Melstane any morphia pills?
55617I think not, sir,said Gimp, drifting towards the door;"it''s''er''ead, ai n''t it, sir, not drink?"
55617I? 55617 I?
55617If that is so, perhaps you will help me in the matter?
55617If that is the case, why should Judas show them to Marson?
55617In connection with that?
55617In me?
55617Is Florry better?
55617Is Florry worse?
55617Is it dangerous?
55617Is that letter for me?
55617Is that so?
55617Is your father reconciled to you yet?
55617It''s wonderful how you have worked it out,said Roger, with hearty admiration;"but how do you connect me with the murder?"
55617Judging by your face, they certainly are,retorted the detective, drily;"but what is the matter with you, grumbler?
55617Kill whom?
55617Let us say a phrenologist?
55617Like Dulcinea, eh, Don Quixote Roger? 55617 Lost How so?"
55617May I ask on whose authority you speak so confidently?
55617Monsieur?
55617Morphia?
55617Name? 55617 No more tears or crying after Sebastian?"
55617Not to Miss Judith?
55617Nothing?
55617Now then, Abraham,piped Mrs. Wevelspoke, viciously,"ai n''t you gone yet?"
55617Now what the deuce do you want to know that for?
55617Now, Monsieur Guinaud, about your friend, Melstane?
55617Octavius,said Roger, after a pause,"do you remember our conversation at Jarlchester?"
55617Of Marson?
55617Of being accused of the murder?
55617Of course, monsieur, you will now permit me to be a suitor for the hand of Mees Mar- rson?
55617Of what?
55617Of your own free will?
55617Oh, then she has got them?
55617Oh, why do you torture me like this? 55617 Oh,"said Axton, suddenly,"then you think it was Judas put the two extra pills in the box?"
55617One moment, monsieur,said Judas, raising his voice slightly;"what do you intend to do?"
55617Oui,he replied, looking at him sharply;"n''êtes- vous pas Français?"
55617Perfectly,said Fanks, with great politeness;"but please tell me, when did you use this morphia last?"
55617Question first: Did you know this dead man?
55617Roger Axton?
55617Roger, what is the matter?
55617Sebastian,she whispered, with white lips,"is-- is he dead?"
55617So the letters are no use to you?
55617Speak you de français, monsieur?
55617That wretch?
55617The critics have been abusing your last poems, perhaps?
55617The dear Spolgers?
55617The detective?
55617The pill- box was in your possession the whole time?
55617Their conscience?
55617Then if he did not kill himself, who did?
55617Then who is the thief?
55617Then why refuse to let me see them?
55617Then you are glad of his death?
55617Then you believe I am innocent?
55617Then you think Monsieur Judas has the packet?
55617There is always a possibility,said Judith, quickly;"but if these letters have gone astray, what are we to do?"
55617There,observed Fanks, when this was completed,"do you see much difference between Judith and Judas, according to your writing?"
55617This un?
55617Tight boots?
55617To listen?
55617To''Judas''?
55617To- night?
55617Was Melstane a scamp?
55617Well, after you got back to your own room, what did you do?
55617Well, as they did not go to the Hall, where did they go?
55617Well, go on,said Fanks, impatiently;"what were you going to say, Japix?"
55617Well, seeing that was the bundle you were in search of, what did you do?
55617Were there any this month-- November?
55617What about?
55617What are your proofs?
55617What did he call about?
55617What did he mean by''it is well''?
55617What do you mean, Fanks?
55617What do you mean?
55617What do you mean?
55617What do you mean?
55617What do you say to this accusation, Miss Varlins?
55617What do you want to see me about?
55617What does it all mean? 55617 What else can I think, Roger?"
55617What for?
55617What have you done with him?
55617What is the matter, papa?
55617What is the matter?
55617What is the matter?
55617What is the opinion of monsieur?
55617What then?
55617What time did he say he would be here?
55617What was his reason for staying down here?
55617What was the scamp''s name?
55617What''s the matter, Fanks?
55617What, do you think some of the letters are missing?
55617What?
55617What?
55617When you come to dinner?
55617When you spoke to me, did you really and truly believe he had committed suicide?
55617Where are they, then?
55617Where are you going?
55617Where does Dr. Japix live?
55617Where she lives, printed on a pill- box,finished Roger, and then, after a pause:"What do you think of it, Fanks?"
55617Where to?
55617Where''s their eddication, as they do n''t write plain? 55617 Wherefore not, monsieur?
55617Which you gave her, I suppose?
55617Who dares to accuse me of such a thing?
55617Who put the pill in the box?
55617Who said it did? 55617 Who signed the prescription?"
55617Whom do you mean?
55617Whom?
55617Whose dead mother, Florry''s or Judith''s?
55617Why are you certain?
55617Why did Marson want his pretty daughter to marry that ugly wreck of a Spolger?
55617Why did Melstane go to Jarlchester, of all places in the world?
55617Why did n''t Aunt Spencer tell me of it, then?
55617Why did n''t she want me to read those letters?
55617Why did you do that?
55617Why do you keep asking me that question?
55617Why do you speak to me like this? 55617 Why do you think so?"
55617Why not the prisoner at the bar-- the convict in the jail-- the secret poisoner?
55617Why not? 55617 Why not?"
55617Why not?
55617Why not?
55617Why, drat the man,she said, in her stony fashion, to one of the under- warders,"what does he mean by wastin''coals an''ile?
55617Why, what do you intend to do?
55617Why, what do you mean?
55617Why-- ahem-- what has it got to do-- ahem-- with us?
55617Why?
55617Why?
55617Why?
55617Why?
55617Will you be seated, sir?
55617Will you have a cup of tea?
55617Will you shake hands, then?
55617With Miss Marson?
55617With whom?
55617Yes, it is but right; what do you want to know?
55617Yes; can I bring Axton with me?
55617Yes; do you know him? 55617 Yes; have n''t you read the Jarlchester Mystery?"
55617You are not sure?
55617You are quite sure you mean what you say?
55617You are sure?
55617You continue your walking tour to- morrow?
55617You did?
55617You do n''t suspect him?
55617You do n''t think it''s suicide?
55617You have never seen him?
55617You have no idea?
55617You mean Spolger''s house?
55617You saw him?
55617You saw him?
55617You should try--"Spolger''s Soother, I suppose?
55617You want a letter, I s''pose, miss?
55617You will arrest me for stealing what you do not know that I did steal?
55617You wish to see me, monsieur?
55617You''ve not seen Miss Varlins since, I suppose?
55617Your name, monsieur?
55617''Ow do they expect''em to be delivered straight wen I ai n''t no scholard to read their alphabets?"
55617''of course''?"
55617- Who is Guilty?
55617A novelist?"
55617Addressed to Miss Judith, you say?"
55617Ah, who, indeed?
55617Am I correct?"
55617And where is home?"
55617And you?"
55617And you?"
55617And yours?"
55617Are you hard up?"
55617Are you ill?"
55617Are you in love with her yourself?"
55617Are you ready, Roger?"
55617Author?"
55617Author?''
55617Axton?"
55617Bed sores?
55617But I keep my health wonderful, gentlemen, saving a touch of the--"_ Coroner_.--"Will the witness kindly confine himself to the matter in hand?"
55617But all I have told, and now will the dear Spolger tell us of the pills which he gave to the angel?"
55617But how, by all that''s sacred, did you find that out?"
55617But what am I writing?
55617But what do you mean?"
55617But what has that to do with this murder?"
55617But where will I find a wife like Judith?
55617But who can tell if it will be a success?
55617But why do you say that?"
55617By the way, do you know who I think knows a good deal about this case?"
55617By the way, have you ever been to Ironfields?"
55617By the way, how is Mrs. Axton?
55617By the way, if I see Miss Varlins at Ironfields, shall I give her any message?"
55617By the way,"said Octavius, suddenly struck with a new idea,"how long have you been at Jarlchester?"
55617Can I let it lie there?
55617Can Roger Axton be keeping anything from me?
55617Can she know anything about the death?
55617Can there be any connection between the deceased and Miss Varlins?
55617Chapter 14 Who is Guilty?
55617Chapter 16 The Man Who Loved Her Have you ever been in the tropics?
55617Chickles?"
55617Clever?
55617Come, now, if you are bold-- I hide not the truth, I declare-- if your angel is not the one who killed the dear Melstane, say, who is it?
55617Comprehend you, eh?
55617Consumption?
55617Could she have written to Jarlchester to Melstane?
55617Did he know the dead man?
55617Did he look ill?"
55617Did you call here on the 15th, Miss Varlins?"
55617Do you also know that he was murdered?"
55617Do you correspond with her?"
55617Do you remember the grim view old Sophocles takes of that deity?
55617Dry?
55617Eh, what do you say?"
55617Eh-- author?"
55617Fouche?"
55617Gimp, how is this?"
55617Hang it, what the deuce does it all mean?"
55617Have you a stamp of postage?''
55617Have you heard how Miss Marson is to- day?"
55617Have you read''Edwin Drood''?"
55617His motive for doing such a thing?
55617How dare you, sir, come to the house of an English gentleman and make such a request?
55617How do you know that I may not suspect some one else?"
55617How many diseases does it cure, did you say?"
55617How should I recognise it?"
55617However, now I''ve told you my story, what about your own?"
55617I am a Frenchman, me, I am a man of honour, is it not so?
55617I say, Doctor, do you believe in patent medicines?"
55617I wonder if those drops would do her good?"
55617I wonder to whom that letter was sent?
55617In this case of Marson, however, what do we find?
55617Is it a murder at all?
55617Is it murder or suicide?
55617Is it not so?"
55617Is it not so?"
55617Is it not so?"
55617Is it that I am a child you can rage at with your big words?
55617Is that not so?"
55617It is cruel, but who can fight the angry gods?
55617It was Judith who spoke with sharp interrogation, and Marson lifted his head wearily as he said:"Guinaud?"
55617London?"
55617Look at him, all of you?
55617Mais why to you I gif zem?"
55617Man or woman?"
55617Marson said?"
55617Marson?"
55617Marson?"
55617May I ask if you are satisfied?"
55617May I ask where you met her for the first time?"
55617May I ask you a few questions, Japix?"
55617May I ask you to return it to me?"
55617May I say something without being thought rude?"
55617Melstane?"
55617Monsieur Axton?"
55617Now did it strike you that he might have taken two pills by mistake, which would account for his death?"
55617Now do you understand?
55617Now what would he take innocently?
55617Now which idea do you favour, Mr. Fanks-- suicide or consumption?"
55617Now you have the box, but my friend, where is he?"
55617Now, what motive had Spolger for killing Melstane?"
55617Que diable faites- vous dans cette galère?"
55617Query, What does Miss Varlins mean by this strange conduct?
55617Qy., could any one have entered room during night?
55617Qy., seedy swell?
55617Rather a dismal love story, but what the devil did he tell me two lies for?"
55617Roger,"he cried, with a burst of natural feeling,"why did you not trust me?"
55617Since Spolger and myself are innocent, who is guilty?"
55617Spolger?"
55617Spolger?"
55617Spolger?"
55617Talk about the Jarlchester Mystery, what are you?"
55617That''s the Bible, is n''t it?"
55617The first thing I want to know is, what were the contents of those letters?"
55617The public?
55617The publishers?
55617Then she''s still at Ventnor?"
55617Then you were here when the man died?"
55617There was a faint hesitation in his tone, which Fanks was quick to detect, and which prompted his next question:"Has Mr. Marson been in here?"
55617Think you that I would be here, if I was what you say?
55617Translated, the conversation( guarded on both sides by mutual suspicion) was as follows:"Will monsieur permit me to ask him a few questions?
55617Twelve pills are enough for a man even with nerves, so why should he make those twelve into fourteen?"
55617Was it wise of you to leave her?"
55617Was there a letter here on the 15th, directed to Miss Judith?"
55617Well, Florry Marson--""The blue- eyed darling?"
55617Well, what did you do when you found Melstane had gone to bed?"
55617Well, you know, Gimp, I''m not quite sure of my lung?
55617Were there any letters there likely to implicate her in the crime?
55617What about Miss Varlins?.
55617What answer can you make to my statement?"
55617What brought you here, old boy?"
55617What do you mean?"
55617What does he say?"
55617What does it mean?"
55617What else?"
55617What is more natural?
55617What of that?
55617What part of the country were you walking in?"
55617What then?"
55617What was he doing at Jarlchester?
55617What was the result, gentlemen?
55617What would become of your thousand and one wants but for this same business you so disapprove of?"
55617What would you, messieurs?
55617What would you?
55617What would you?"
55617What''s the last?"
55617When did he have the pill- box?
55617Where could he obtain the morphia?"
55617Who advised you?"
55617Who ever heard of such a thing?"
55617Who is it?"
55617Who is it?"
55617Who knows?
55617Who''s that?
55617Why ai n''t you goin''back to the shop?"
55617Why did I not kill you instead of Sebastian?"
55617Why did n''t you attend the inquest?"
55617Why do n''t he walk his dinner off by usin''his legs instead of robbin''me of my profits by takin''it out of his thirty shillin''s weekly?"
55617Why do n''t these furriners learn English?
55617Why should a man come down to this out- of- the- way place to die?
55617Why should he have poisoned himself with morphia, when he could have done so with an overdose of these pills?
55617Why should he take the trouble to explain that he intends to stop here for a week if he intended to commit suicide?
55617Why should he tell me such a useless lie?"
55617Why was he there at the same time, in the same house as Melstane?
55617Why, good gracious, what''s the matter?"
55617Why, what''s the matter?"
55617Will monsieur speak plainly?"
55617Will you let me look at them?"
55617Will you permit me to withdraw for a moment?"
55617Will you please read the letters, and then return them to me?"
55617With Mr. Marson, or Miss Varlins?"
55617Wo n''t you take off that heavy coat?"
55617Would your friend like supper?"
55617You are in love?"
55617You know him?
55617You posted the packet at Jarlchester on the 13th of this month, did you not, Roger?"
55617You tell us the motive for the crime, certainly; but how did Marson do it?
55617You use morphia for your''Soother,''so what was to prevent your acting as you suggest?"
55617You''re sure you heard nothing?"
55617_ A Juryman_( facetiously).--"Did you think him good- looking, Miss Molly?"
55617_ A Juryman_.--"Do you think he had any intention of destroying himself?"
55617_ A Juryman_.--"Then I presume he was taking tonic pills for his constitution?"
55617_ A Juryman_.--"Then some one administered the dose?"
55617_ A Juryman_.--"When did he expect this friend?"
55617_ A Juryman_.--"When do you think the deceased died?"
55617_ Coroner_( obviously bewildered).--"Why so?"
55617_ Coroner_( pompously).--"And what did the deceased mean by the expression''this hole,''my man?"
55617_ Coroner_( prompted by London detective).--"Did his stomach look like that of an habitual opium- eater?"
55617_ Coroner_( prompted by London detective).--"Were there any drawings?"
55617_ Coroner_( with the air of having found something).--"Pills, eh?
55617_ Coroner_.--"Any name on the clothes?"
55617_ Coroner_.--"Are you sure deceased asked you to give him his boots personally next morning?"
55617_ Coroner_.--"Did he appear gloomy or low- spirited?"
55617_ Coroner_.--"Did he say anything about the next day?"
55617_ Coroner_.--"Did he say he was down here for his health?"
55617_ Coroner_.--"Did he seem to you like a man intending to make away with himself?"
55617_ Coroner_.--"During his sleep?"
55617_ Coroner_.--"He did not mention anything about the letter?"
55617_ Coroner_.--"No sketches or faces on the block?"
55617_ Coroner_.--"Nothing likely to lead to the name of deceased?"
55617_ Coroner_.--"Oh, did he say he had come from London?"
55617_ Coroner_.--"Then you think the deceased took an overdose of poison?"
55617_ Coroner_.--"What do you mean by the door being open?"
55617_ Juryman_( sharp- nosed and inquisitive).--"How was he lying when you saw him first?"
55617and her name?"
55617brain fever?"
55617cried Japix, rising,"what does this mean?"
55617cried Judith, with a start, looking at Octavius,"I thought your name was Rixton?"
55617cried Roger, in a tone of horror,"you put the idea into her head?"
55617do I look like a charlatan?"
55617do you think so?
55617exclaimed Japix, as a sudden idea struck him,"what do you mean?"
55617going into Melstane''s room at night, and placing them in the box?
55617had you met Golden- hair before?"
55617he cried, desperately,"do you not hear what I say?
55617he said, in a hoarse whisper,"is it true?"
55617how should I know?"
55617is that not so?
55617monsieur, do you not know?"
55617oh, where was the body, which was the culminating point of interest in the whole gruesome affair?
55617repeated Fanks, angrily,"do n''t you see?
55617repeated Roger, starting,"do you know him?"
55617said Miss Marson, pettishly,"you asked me?
55617she muttered to herself, falling nerveless into a chair,"what has he told him?"
55617that man at Wosk''s?"
55617what about your visitors?"
55617what is the meaning of those two extra pills?"
55617what would you?"
55617who can explore its depths?
55617who ever called regal Semiramis pretty?
55617why not?
55617you see I''m a poet, eh?"
55617you see?"
55617you surely do n''t believe this man-- this vile wretch who would sell his soul for money?
55617you understand?
4531A Jewess?
4531A fine plant, is n''t it?
4531About my giving up Cuthbert?
4531About the marriage?
4531About what?
4531About your own business?
4531Again,murmured Jennings,"who touched that bell?
4531Ah, and was that neighborhood this one, by any chance? 4531 Ah, you heard of that, did you?
4531Ah,chimed in Thomas suddenly,"in what way, Susan?"
4531Ah,said Jennings, taking a seat,"so you have been down there?"
4531Alarm who?
4531Am I, indeed? 4531 And I?"
4531And Maraquito killed Tyke?
4531And Miss Saxon?
4531And Twining?
4531And have you any clue?
4531And her name?
4531And how did it get there?
4531And if she wo n''t give it?
4531And she loves you?
4531And the park also?
4531And what about the woman who loves him?
4531And what would a quiet old lady like my aunt need with a secret entrance?
4531And why do you ask?
4531And you think Mrs. Herne is Senora Gredos''mother?
4531And your niece?
4531Any liqueur?
4531Are there any further questions you wish to ask me? 4531 Are they lies?"
4531Are you feeling better?
4531Are you leaving England?
4531Are you sorry to leave Rose Cottage?
4531Are you strong enough, sir?
4531Are you sure Basil did not go also?
4531Are you sure of that?
4531Are you sure of what you say, mother?
4531As both, I hope,replied the other dryly,"but are we not wasting valuable time?
4531At Rose Cottage?
4531At eleven o''clock?
4531At the instance of the Saul family?
4531At what time was the man arrested?
4531At what time?
4531Basil and I went to see this new melodrama written by Mr. Arkwright--"What? 4531 Basil,"said Mrs. Octagon, in her deep, rich voice,"is too fond of this fair stranger-- Spanish, is she not?"
4531Basil? 4531 Billy Tyke, sir?"
4531But I thought Mrs. Octagon was well off?
4531But as you intend to take me away, will you please let me enter my bedroom to change my dress?
4531But can you keep up, sir?
4531But how could Mrs. Octagon get the knife?
4531But how could aunt ring if she had been killed?
4531But how did she become possessed of it?
4531But if I am traced?
4531But if you had told me this long ago--"How could I?
4531But if your mother refuses her consent?
4531But on what grounds?
4531But the substitution?
4531But there was no danger of them being accused?
4531But was there not an inquest held on Emilia''s body?
4531But why did he poison himself?
4531But why have you got on an overcoat this warm day?
4531But why should he set fire deliberately to my house?
4531But why should this person have sounded the bell?
4531But would Maraquito have let her suffer?
4531But your reason?
4531But, look here,said Mr. Octagon, who had been ruminating;"if, as the doctor says, death was instantaneous, how could your aunt have rung the bell?"
4531By the way, Peggy, you know that woman Maraquito I have talked of?
4531By the way, did this man who was arrested give his name?
4531By the way?
4531Ca n''t the murderer be found?
4531Ca n''t we be plain with one another?
4531Can I help you with a cheque?
4531Can Maraquito have anything to do with the coiners?
4531Can we not talk in some quieter place?
4531Can you expect a dying man to?
4531Can you see your way now?
4531Clancy and Hale will enlighten her,said Caranby, as the vehicle stopped,"will you not come in?"
4531Could I come and say to you, I believe you are a murderer?
4531Cuthbert, how can you?
4531Dare you offer yourself to Maraquito, bad as she is, knowing what you are?
4531Did Mrs. Herne seem offended when you examined her face?
4531Did he quarrel with her?
4531Did he utter any threats?
4531Did not Basil tell you so?
4531Did not the girls remain?
4531Did she expect anyone that evening?
4531Did she expect her nephew?
4531Did she give any reason?
4531Did she hate her?
4531Did she, then, anticipate anyone hiding-- a burglar, for instance?
4531Did you also recognize Mr. Clancy and Mr. Hale as having visited the Soho house?
4531Did you believe that, Juliet?
4531Did you come by the railway station path?
4531Did you do what I asked?
4531Did you enter Miss Loach''s grounds?
4531Did you ever hear Senora Gredos called Maraquito?
4531Did you ever see Miss Saul, mother?
4531Did you examine Mrs. Herne at the inquest?
4531Did you like Miss Saul, mother?
4531Did you like her?
4531Did you like her?
4531Did you not hear Miss Garthorne tell you so?
4531Did you not tell her what you have told me?
4531Did you see Mrs. Herne there?
4531Did you see any women amongst the men we took?
4531Did you see anyone in the room?
4531Did you see anything in the cottage?
4531Did you see my face?
4531Did you show''ern out?
4531Did you speak to her?
4531Do I know him?
4531Do n''t you know that is against the law?
4531Do n''t you wish to know who killed Miss Loach?
4531Do n''t you, Mr. Mallow? 4531 Do tell me what''s wrong, sir?"
4531Do you allude to his playing cards?
4531Do you believe the assassin rang the bell?
4531Do you dare to tell me this?
4531Do you expect him?
4531Do you find it lucrative?
4531Do you know him?
4531Do you know of any impediment?
4531Do you know the cause of the quarrel?
4531Do you know the girl well?
4531Do you know what I am about to say?
4531Do you know what went on in that house?
4531Do you know where he went?
4531Do you know where she came from?
4531Do you know why I came here to- night?
4531Do you know why he has called on your aunt, my dear?
4531Do you know your work as parlor- maid thoroughly?
4531Do you know zis one-- zis Celestine Durand? 4531 Do you love this girl?"
4531Do you mean Maraquito?
4531Do you mean this for a jest?
4531Do you mean to arrest me now?
4531Do you mean to say that I killed her? 4531 Do you recognize this?"
4531Do you see your way as yet?
4531Do you speak Spanish?
4531Do you suspect him?
4531Do you suspect the house was set on fire?
4531Do you think a woman cares to accuse the man she loves? 4531 Do you think that is wise?
4531Do you think the sister has anything to do with it?
4531Do you wish to know anything further?
4531Do you, Juliet-- do you? 4531 Do you?"
4531Does Cuthbert love me?
4531Does a game- cock scold?
4531Does she know anything about it?
4531Does this business concern Miss Saxon?
4531Eh, wha- a- at, mon cher? 4531 Escaped?"
4531Even if this is true, which I deny,she said in a voice tremulous with rage,"how dare you arrest me, and for what?"
4531For Basil?
4531For my sake? 4531 For what reason?"
4531From a friend or relative?
4531From what?
4531From whom?
4531Gracious''eavens, Susan,cried the cook, when Susan returned, after admitting the visitors,"whatever''s come to you?"
4531Had Emilia no relatives who might have made inquiries?
4531Had I not better go down to Rose Cottage and offer my services?
4531Had it been for fifty pence the crime is the same,said Mallow vehemently,"why did you not let me help you?
4531Had you an idea that Emilia may have been pushed off the plank by Selina?
4531Had you ever met anyone using such a perfume before?
4531Has the weapon been found?
4531Have I not proved my love by bearing-- as I thought-- your burden? 4531 Have I your permission to smoke?"
4531Have you any clue to the assassin?
4531Have you any idea if the weapon with which the crime was committed has been discovered?
4531Have you any idea who killed Miss Loach?
4531Have you any idea who killed Miss Loach?
4531Have you anything to say on that point?
4531Have you been here before?
4531Have you discovered anything?
4531Have you got it?
4531Have you heard the news?
4531Have you learned who killed Miss Loach?
4531Have you seen Jennings lately?
4531He that was in love with Miss Loach, sir?
4531He was there with no very good purpose and his conscience smote the miserable creature,said Cuthbert,"go on-- or will you wait?"
4531Heard the bell ring?
4531How are you?
4531How can I find her?
4531How can you hurt me?
4531How can you tell that?
4531How dare you speak like this?
4531How did he know that, when the prisoner gave no name and was arrested only last night?
4531How did she see it in the first instance?
4531How did you guess?
4531How did you know it was mine?
4531How did you learn it?
4531How did you learn that she was shamming?
4531How did you recognize her after all these years?
4531How do you know Basil has troubles?
4531How do you know I can?
4531How do you know about that?
4531How do you know he was here then?
4531How do you know that?
4531How do you know that?
4531How is it the oak with the hollow trunk still stands?
4531How is that?
4531How was that?
4531How''s the shoulder?
4531I am glad to see you, Lord Caranby,said the detective, when the old gentleman was accommodated with the chair,"have you had breakfast?"
4531I am much obliged,said Jennings quite believing her story, since she told it so earnestly:"but does Maraquito love Hale?"
4531I brought them, as I know Miss Saxon who now has Rose Cottage, is engaged to Mr. Mallow--"Have n''t you got over that nonsense yet?
4531I ca n''t do that, sir, Mr. Clancy may be''ome any moment"Is n''t he at home now?
4531I daresay Mr. Clancy told you why I wished to see you?
4531I do n''t tell it to everyone,said Jennings,"How do you do, Mr. Clancy?
4531I fancy I know about that,said Jennings quickly, then added,"You are fond of perfumes?"
4531I have never met you?
4531I have to consider others,repeated Juliet obstinately;"if Cuthbert knew what I feel--""Why do n''t you tell him?
4531I knew it-- I knew it,she said,"in spite of the letter--""What letter?"
4531I never expected to meet that woman--"You call me that?
4531I should like to know what you mean?
4531I thought you said Lord Caranby loved Miss Loach?
4531I understand,hesitated Jennings,"you belong to a Spanish family?"
4531I wonder if she had a mother?
4531I wonder if they meet in the dark?
4531Ishrieked Mrs. Octagon,"how dare she?
4531I''ll take up my abode in America forever,said Mrs. Octagon, rising,"do you think I''ll stop here and see you my daughter''s husband?
4531I,she said, coloring,"what put such a thing into your head?
4531I-- I-- don''t think you are, and yet--"You are going to accuse me of having been on the spot?
4531I? 4531 I?
4531I? 4531 I?"
4531If you were, why need you have been afraid?
4531In this letter he wrote you?
4531In what way should I act?
4531In what way? 4531 In what way?"
4531In what way?
4531In what way?
4531Inquire about what?
4531Is Miss Loach friendly with him now?
4531Is he nice?
4531Is he very ill?
4531Is it a liberty?
4531Is n''t that rather personal?
4531Is she a Jewess by any chance?
4531Is the letter written by a man or a woman?
4531Is this a jest?
4531Is your uncle in town?
4531It is not customary to do that?
4531Juliet, you are not engaged to Arkwright?
4531Juliet? 4531 Lor no, sir,"cried the woman, casting a surprised glance round,"whatever would she''ave that for, pore dear?"
4531Loved her?
4531Maraquito?
4531May I ask why you went to see this woman?
4531Miss Saxon? 4531 Mother, what are you talking about?
4531Mr. Mallow''s face made an impression on you?
4531Mr. Mallow? 4531 Mrs. Herne?
4531Mrs. Herne? 4531 Not at-- at night?"
4531Not even a cupboard?
4531Not even a scream?
4531Now what are we to make of all this? 4531 Now what does she mean,"he added in his turn,"talking as though I had something to do with the matter?"
4531Oh, I do n''t expect anything of that sort,said Mallow easily,"but why do you say''he''or''she''?"
4531Oh, Peggy, what does it all mean? 4531 Oh, and by the way, will you allow me to go over that house of yours at Rexton?"
4531Oh, indeed,said Caranby, considerably surprised,"and what did Emilia do with you two?"
4531Oh, mother, how can you? 4531 Oh,"Juliet dropped into a chair,"are you innocent?"
4531One moment,she cried,"do you accuse him?"
4531Pardon me, but are you in love with another woman?
4531Proofs?
4531Senora Gredos?
4531She is the aunt of the young lady you are engaged to marry?
4531She lived alone always, I believe?
4531She was not dead then?
4531Silk purses ca n''t be made out of sows''ears,growled the cook,"an''who told you all this Geraldine?"
4531Six thousand a year,mused the lady,"and you will hold your tongue?"
4531So long as you say who killed Miss Loach--"Miss Loach,sneered Hale,"why not Emilia Saul?"
4531So much as that? 4531 So that you may have the fingering of the money?"
4531So you want me to help you to find out Mrs. Octagon''s reason?
4531Supposing he was here, would you consent to an interview?
4531Surely you do n''t think Cuthbert killed Aunt Selina?
4531Surely you never thought me guilty?
4531Surely, Jennings, you do not think me guilty of killing that poor wretch?
4531Tell me what happened on that night?
4531That day I was there?
4531That man who was arrested for coining, sir?
4531That you love this Susan Grant?
4531The coiners?
4531The scent? 4531 The will?"
4531Then how did Juliet see you shortly before eleven?
4531Then how do you explain the matter?
4531Then how does she come into possession of your portrait?
4531Then where did you go?
4531Then whom do you suspect?
4531Then why did he fly?
4531Then why did he write and bring me here?
4531Then why do you wish me to hold my tongue?
4531Then why do you wish to see her to- day?
4531Then you do n''t intend to arrest me?
4531Then you were not out of the house?
4531Then your name ai n''t really Grant?
4531There is nothing bad I do n''t expect to hear of Isabella Octagon,he said,"so this then was why she visited you?"
4531This interfering person you refer to?
4531This knife?
4531This knife?
4531To ask if you remember a coining case that took place some twenty years ago?
4531To save him from what?
4531Too much of what, my gal?
4531Two women? 4531 Very much astonished,"responded Caranby thoughtfully,"how came it that Selina died and Isabella lived?"
4531Was Mrs. Herne a great friend of your aunt''s?
4531Was Mrs. Herne in Miss Loach''s bedroom on that night?
4531Was he at Rose Cottage on the night in question?
4531Was she on bad terms with anyone?
4531Was that her cry we heard?
4531Was the house locked up?
4531Was your aunt open with you?
4531We wo n''t be disturbed,she said, wiping her face upon which the perspiration stood,"what do you know?"
4531Well, I understand how you got the photograph, but how did this woman get it? 4531 Well, Jennings, what is it?"
4531Well, Mr. Hale,said Mallow coldly,"why have you come?"
4531Well, and what do you deduce from that?
4531Well, has that silly girl gone?
4531Well, now you know all, what will you do?
4531Well, what about it?
4531Well, you saw she was dead?
4531Well,he asked when the door closed,"why did you wish to see me?"
4531Well,said Jennings sharply,"what is it?"
4531Well?
4531Were you there?
4531Were you with him?
4531What about him?
4531What about his lordship?
4531What about the poisoning?
4531What about?
4531What am I to think then?
4531What are you talking about, sir?
4531What can I explain? 4531 What can Mrs. Octagon have to do with Maraquito?"
4531What can he know of this woman?
4531What did Miss Saxon tell you?
4531What did you learn?
4531What did you wish to see me about?
4531What do you call her?
4531What do you know of him?
4531What do you know?
4531What do you make of that?
4531What do you mean by buying her?
4531What do you mean by that phrase?
4531What do you mean by that? 4531 What do you mean by that?"
4531What do you mean by that?
4531What do you mean by that?
4531What do you mean by that?
4531What do you mean by the old family?
4531What do you mean?
4531What do you mean?
4531What do you mean?
4531What do you mean?
4531What do you mean?
4531What do you mean?
4531What do you mean?
4531What do you mean?
4531What do you suspect her of?
4531What happened?
4531What has Juliet to do with this?
4531What is his name?
4531What is it?
4531What is it?
4531What is that?
4531What is the boy like?
4531What is the matter?
4531What is the meaning of this, Mr. Mallow? 4531 What is this you tell me?"
4531What kind of noises?
4531What makes you think I can explain?
4531What makes you think I do?
4531What makes you think that?
4531What matters?
4531What means will you use to make her speak?
4531What of that?
4531What of the cellars?
4531What on earth do you mean?
4531What on earth does she mean by that?
4531What reply did she make?
4531What scent?
4531What servant?
4531What sort of stories?
4531What the devil do you mean by coming here to ask me such a question?
4531What was he doing there?
4531What was the extra job?
4531What was this quarrel about?
4531What will Cuthbert say to your beauty now?
4531What will you do with that?
4531What woman has?
4531What would you do-- what would you do?
4531What''s that-- arsenic?
4531What''s that? 4531 What''s that?"
4531What''s the matter?
4531What, in your state of health?
4531What, that old lady?
4531What?
4531Whatever do you mean? 4531 Whatever do you mean?"
4531When did Thomas go out?
4531When what was over?
4531When will you come and see mother?
4531Where did she hear the report?
4531Where did your brother go?
4531Where do you mean?
4531Where is Lord Caranby now?
4531Where is his proof?
4531Where were you last night?
4531Which way?
4531Who are you and what do you want?
4531Who are you, Hale?
4531Who are you?
4531Who do you think?
4531Who does that house at the back belong to?
4531Who does?
4531Who has called to see you within the last month?
4531Who is he?
4531Who is interfering with my private business?
4531Who is it?
4531Who is she shielding? 4531 Who is she?"
4531Who is the old lady who comes here?
4531Who is this person?
4531Who is this, Lord Caranby?
4531Who killed her?
4531Who poisoned him?
4531Who told you that?
4531Who was connected with the coining gang?
4531Who was it?
4531Who wrote it?
4531Who?
4531Why are you here?
4531Why can you not love me? 4531 Why did she?"
4531Why did you leave?
4531Why did you leave?
4531Why did you not give the alarm?
4531Why did you seek it then?
4531Why did you start when I spoke of the overcoat?
4531Why did you wire me in so peremptory a manner?
4531Why did you wish to hang the poor girl?
4531Why do n''t you look her up? 4531 Why do you refuse to marry Mallow?"
4531Why do you say that?
4531Why do you tell me all this?
4531Why do you tell these falsehoods?
4531Why do you want me?
4531Why do you wonder?
4531Why does Miss Loach live in the basement?
4531Why is that?
4531Why not? 4531 Why not?"
4531Why not?
4531Why that place?
4531Why with her?
4531Why?
4531Why?
4531Why?
4531Why?
4531Whyever''ave you come''ere, sir?
4531Will he become conscious again?
4531Will he recover consciousness?
4531Will you ask him, sir?
4531Will you decline to say it to the police?
4531Will you keep what I say to yourself?
4531Will you not drink to our better acquaintance?
4531Will you not read my characters, ma''am?
4531Will you please come to the point?
4531Will your brother refuse?
4531With Senora Gredos? 4531 With the addition of darling?"
4531Wo n''t I?
4531Would you like to see the bedroom?
4531Yes,she said in a firm voice, belied by the ghastly whiteness of her face,"who killed her?"
4531Yet she is an invalid I think you said?
4531You are certain?
4531You are fond of these sort of things?
4531You are not having any play this evening?
4531You are sure of that?
4531You are then her aunt?
4531You can depend upon my silence,said Yeo, shaking Cuthbert by the hand;"well, and what will you do now?"
4531You do n''t know her?
4531You do n''t know who killed Emilia?
4531You do n''t know who killed Miss Loach? 4531 You have had trouble?"
4531You have told me all you know?
4531You here, Mallow,said that young gentleman, stopping short,"have you been to see my mother?"
4531You knew Miss Loach?
4531You never saw her again?
4531You recognize the inscription?
4531You saw the body?
4531You were not afraid?
4531You were with Maraquito as parlor- maid?
4531''Ave you come to tell me who killed mistress?"
4531Ai n''t he alive?"
4531Am I to go?"
4531An''you, sir?"
4531And Hale?"
4531And I say, Mallow, I suppose all Aunt Selina''s affairs will be left in Hale''s hands?"
4531And Susan Grant?"
4531And again, why did she hint that she had held her tongue about the matter for the sake of Mallow?
4531And is she not worthy to be loved?
4531And what of Clancy and Hale?"
4531And who told you so?
4531Anything else?"
4531Are you a ghost- hunter also?"
4531Are you after her?"
4531Are you going out?"
4531Are you here as a gentleman or as a detective?"
4531Are you sure it is your property?"
4531Are you sure you never heard the name of Maraquito?"
4531Barnes?"
4531Basil Saxon?"
4531Basil Saxon?"
4531But Miss Saxon?"
4531But are you not astonished by my news?"
4531But even if she confessed all, could she save him?
4531But how can I help him, sir?"
4531But how could anyone know that I intended to go over your house?"
4531But how did the knife leave my rooms?"
4531But how had he entered?
4531But how the deuce did anyone enter the house?
4531But my mother?"
4531But the other?"
4531But the questions were: Had one of them struck the fatal blow, and if so, who had been daring enough to do so?
4531But the scheme?"
4531But what do you make of all this, Jennings?"
4531But what do you think of my disguise?
4531But what were you going to tell me?"
4531But who are you?"
4531But who rang the bell?
4531But who struck the blow?"
4531But who then sounded the bell?"
4531But who told you?"
4531But why are you here instead of at work?"
4531But why did Maraquito throw vitriol at Lord Caranby?"
4531But why did someone do this, and how did someone escape after ringing in so fool- hardy a manner?"
4531But why should she have been with his uncle and why should Juliet have come also?
4531But why should this death stop our marriage?"
4531But why should this man burn my house?"
4531But why this room, Juliet?"
4531But you understand why I kept silence?"
4531But, first of all, tell me did Maraquito come here to- night?"
4531By the way, Miss Saxon, will you tell the where you were on that night?"
4531By the way, do you notice that Maraquito uses a strong scent?"
4531By the way, how is Miss Saxon?"
4531By the way, what are you doing now?"
4531By the way, when is the body to be buried?"
4531By the way, where does the other passage lead to?
4531By the way, where is my dearest son?"
4531By the way, you do n''t know how Senora Gredos got that photograph?"
4531By the way,"added Basil, as though anxious to change a disagreeable subject,"do you think Jarvey Hale a nice fellow?"
4531By the why,"Jennings balanced his hat between two forefingers,"I suppose your niece''s complaint is incurable?"
4531CHAPTER XII JENNINGS ASKS QUESTIONS"Will you play, Lord Caranby?"
4531CUTHBERT''S ENEMY THE SECRET PASSAGE CHAPTER I THE COTTAGE"What IS your name?"
4531Can Basil Saxon be guilty?
4531Can I, with safety?"
4531Can any house be too gay for a girl of your years?"
4531Can she be of that family?
4531Can there be any outlet to that house, and is it connected with the unfinished mansion of Lord Caranby, used as a factory?"
4531Can you explain that?"
4531Can you guess why mother quarrelled with aunt, father?"
4531Clancy?"
4531Could I do more?
4531Did the manager inform you of anything else?"
4531Did you call to see her?"
4531Did you give that photograph to Senora Gredos?"
4531Did you not speak with your aunt on that night?"
4531Did you stop at the Metropolitan?"
4531Did you take it off the wall?"
4531Did your aunt ever speak of your mother?"
4531Do you accuse me and Basil of having killed my aunt?"
4531Do you connect this with Selina''s death?"
4531Do you know this woman?"
4531Do you know where he was on that night?"
4531Do you know why she objects?"
4531Do you know?"
4531Do you mean to say she thinks I am guilty?"
4531Do you owe him money?"
4531Do you remember what you said?"
4531Do you want me to watch further, sir?"
4531Do you want to ask anything else?"
4531Do you wish to see her?"
4531Do you wish to speak it with me?"
4531Do you?"
4531Does he still retain your business, Miss Saxon?"
4531Does his lordship know who she is?"
4531Does mother know?"
4531Does she give no reason?"
4531Down here?"
4531Father was working at Rexton--""At Rexton?"
4531For what?"
4531From what he hinted the other day I believe he was about this place on the night of the--""Where are your proofs?"
4531Had they a box?"
4531Hale?"
4531Have you any objection to enter my service on that account?"
4531Have you discovered anything likely to lead to the discovery of her assassin?"
4531Have you got it?"
4531Have you heard of any fire?"
4531He died, and--""Did you kill Miss Loach also?"
4531Herne?"
4531Herne?"
4531Herne?"
4531Herne?"
4531Herne?"
4531Herne?"
4531Herne?"
4531Herne?"
4531How could Cuthbert''s photograph have come into the possession of Senora Gredos, and why had Susan Grant stolen it?
4531How dare you accuse me?"
4531How did Maraquito come here?"
4531How did this happen?"
4531How did your aunt make such a lot of money?"
4531How do you come to know--?"
4531How does she know me?"
4531How does she know?"
4531How old is she?"
4531I climbed the wall, not without difficulty, and found myself in the park--""About what time was this?"
4531I do n''t know who it was?"
4531I feared Caranby should take it into his head to search the house--""Was that why you had it burnt?"
4531I have plenty of money, and--""You will go back to Spain?"
4531I knew a lot about the coining in those days, and I was always in love with Bathsheba, who is my cousin--""Bathsheba?"
4531I let her bear the name of my sister--""Why?"
4531I suppose you have no idea?"
4531I suppose,"he added idly,"you will go abroad also?"
4531I took possession of the photograph--""Why?
4531I wonder what I had better do?"
4531I''spose the usual lot arrived, Susan?"
4531If I can prove that Miss Loach was killed by one of the old coiners--""What will happen then?"
4531If he asked questions!--what do you mean?"
4531Is Cuthbert here?"
4531Is he a member of the gang?"
4531Is it on account of this murder?"
4531Is it only to save you that I am to marry Juliet?
4531Is your nephew coming?"
4531It is you she believes guilty--""And therefore will not marry me?"
4531It was Le Beau who told you?"
4531Jennings?"
4531Jennings?"
4531Juliet, what is all this mystery about?
4531Let me see, was it in Andalusia or Jerusalem?"
4531Listen, I can ruin her--""What do you mean?"
4531Mallow, why did n''t you tell me this the other night?"
4531Mallow?"
4531Mallow?"
4531May I ask where you saw it?"
4531Mr. Hale, Mrs. Herne and Mr. Clancy--""Yes,"said Peter, somewhat surprised,"how do you know?"
4531Mr. Jennings,"remarked the old lady, bending her brows,"is it possible you suspect that young man?"
4531Mrs. Herne gave a different version, but--""How do you know Mrs. Octagon went to see Maraquito?"
4531Nothing serious, I hope?"
4531Now, then, Mr. Mallow, do you know that Basil Saxon was to have inherited the money of my late client, Miss Loach?"
4531Octagon?"
4531Octagon?"
4531Octagon?"
4531Octagon?"
4531Oh, Cuthbert, what is the matter?"
4531On what grounds should my photograph interest you, Jennings?"
4531Pill married Barnes yet?"
4531Pill,"and ai n''t that his lordship''s nephew who comes here at times?"
4531Pill?"
4531Saul?"
4531Selina at once broke her engagement with the American, and--""And returned to you?"
4531She is the niece of an old dancing master who taught Maraquito--""Le Beau?"
4531She was a witness, you know?
4531Sir,"said Susan, sitting up stiffly,"if Mr. Mallow is engaged to Miss Saxon and does n''t love Senora Gredos, why did he write those words?"
4531So she has a boarder?"
4531Suppose I refuse Hale''s demand, and let him proceed on this check?"
4531Supposing I wish to learn who killed Emilia?"
4531Susan Grant told you that also?"
4531Tell her I vish money--""Did she not pay you?"
4531Tell me, Mrs. Barnes, do you know if Miss Loach had a secret entrance to this room?"
4531That I found the knife by the body?"
4531That coining factory--""Did you know of its existence?"
4531The allusion was not complimentary to his pupils, for if Le Beau figured as Orpheus, what were the animals?
4531The man Mrs. Octagon wishes you to marry?"
4531The man who behaved so badly to me?"
4531Then I am having Mrs. Herne watched--""And Maraquito?"
4531Then he added after a pause,"You know that Mrs. Octagon was present when Emilia fell from the plank in the Rexton house?"
4531Then, when the letter arrived--""When did it arrive?"
4531They love that sort of thing, but why should men do so, especially a man in the position of Thomas?
4531To whom am I speaking?"
4531Was it in Senora Gredos''dressing- room long?"
4531Was the assassin then a man?"
4531Well, did you hear anything at all?"
4531Well, what will you do now, Jennings?"
4531Well?"
4531Well?"
4531Well?"
4531Well?"
4531Were you down there on that night?"
4531What are the circumstances of the case?
4531What case is it?"
4531What do they call it?
4531What do you mean?
4531What do you mean?"
4531What do you say?"
4531What do you wish to do?"
4531What does she mean?"
4531What is it?"
4531What is it?"
4531What is the girl like in appearance?"
4531What is your objection to the marriage?"
4531What of her?"
4531What of them?
4531What should bring him there?"
4531What was her reason?"
4531What was here?"
4531What was the use?
4531What will you do next, Jennings?"
4531What''s up?"
4531When I grew up she sent for me and for Daniel Saul--""Who is he?
4531When does this girl arrive?"
4531When she ended,"Why should this death be a warning to Caranby?"
4531When were you there last, Juliet, my child?"
4531When were you there?"
4531Where did you get Mr. Mallow''s portrait?"
4531Where is Gibber?"
4531Where is he now?"
4531Where was the man arrested?"
4531Where were you last?"
4531Which one do you prefer?"
4531Which way did I come?"
4531Who did it, sir?"
4531Who is she?"
4531Who rang it?
4531Who told you?"
4531Why did you ask?"
4531Why did you not ask her yourself?"
4531Why did you not come with me?"
4531Why do you ask?"
4531Why do you ask?"
4531Why do you look so grave, old boy?"
4531Why does Mrs. Herne say this?"
4531Why have you come here?"
4531Why have you come?"
4531Why should Clancy, Mrs. Herne, Hale, Maraquito and Thomas use a special odor?
4531Why?"
4531Why?"
4531Will you answer my questions?"
4531Will you be open with me?"
4531Will you be sorry?"
4531Will you come downstairs and see him?"
4531Will you have some coffee?"
4531Will you let me bring this girl to see you to- morrow?"
4531Will you remain here?"
4531Will you tell me to whom you gave the photograph of Mallow which he presented to you?"
4531Would a woman who loves as I do accuse the man she loves of a horrible crime?
4531Would anyone know me?"
4531Would you mind telling me what she says to you?"
4531You asked my permission to go over my house at Rexton?"
4531You met her, did you not?"
4531You say her sister is dead?"
4531You say she had this photograph in her trunk?"
4531You understand?"
4531You were a dancer, I believe?"
4531Your age?"
4531Ze lady, quel nom?"
4531after all these years?"
4531asked Cuthbert sharply;"do you know the reason?"
4531asked Mallow;"have you discovered anything?"
4531can it be that Basil was near Rose Cottage on the night the crime was committed?
4531does she, and on what grounds?"
4531is Thomas gone the way of flesh?"
4531like that man Tyke?"
4531murmured Jennings,"ca n''t you tell the exact time?"
4531said Caranby coolly,"you know her?"
4531said Jennings briskly,"then you do know something?"
4531said Jennings, with a side- glance at the inspector,"so your husband goes out often?"
4531said Mallow, with a gasp,"but how the dickens,"he used a stronger word,"did my knife come to be used in that way?"
4531said Thomas, speaking for the first time and in a thick voice,"who poisoned him?"
4531the gambling- house coiner we have been looking for?"
4531then there was trouble?"
4531was n''t that the front door closing?"
45622''Tis, eh? 45622 A charm?
45622A good letter,he commented, returning it to Pauline;"what''s your cousin like?"
45622A letter? 45622 A moment, I beg, Miss Stuart,"he said as they reached the hall;"You are offended at Mrs. Frothingham''s intrusion, but have I not a right to call?
45622A strange proceeding?
45622A what?
45622About quarter past twelve, I should think, was n''t it, Anita? 45622 Administered?
45622After you regained your room, did you leave it again?
45622Again, then, could it have been given her innocently, by mistake? 45622 Ah, and when will you be back?"
45622Ah, the green one, from Monsieur Loria?
45622Ah,and Stone''s face was white and his voice like cutting steel,"_ Why_ Miss Stuart?
45622Ah,said Fleming Stone gravely,"did you buy one, Miss Stuart?"
45622All went off as planned?
45622And Mr. Loria? 45622 And does not all this, if true, point to some one exceedingly familiar with all the details of Miss Carrington''s affairs?
45622And her jewels?
45622And how are you? 45622 And how did Miss Stuart get it?"
45622And now they are all yours? 45622 And now----?"
45622And remained in your bed till morning?
45622And she died at what time?
45622And she expected, she-- hoped that her regard might be returned?
45622And she, then, brought the breakfast tray, that is upset on the floor?
45622And so, to shield Bates, who you thought had killed her, you lied right and left, even trying to incriminate Miss Stuart?
45622And so, when you took the breakfast tray, and found the lady-- as you did find her-- you were frightened out of your wits, and dropped the tray?
45622And that last night you might tell her so?
45622And the blow on the head?
45622And the lady seemed agreeable?
45622And the maid took it to her this morning? 45622 And the paper snake round her neck?"
45622And the snake? 45622 And then she dismissed you for the night?"
45622And then, you thought of Carr?
45622And then?
45622And then?
45622And until now you have thought he killed your mistress?
45622And when you brought it to her?
45622And you deny it?
45622And you do n''t know of any one who would give her poison, under pretense of its being a charm or beautifier?
45622And you do not think she placed it there herself?
45622And you grace an informal home evening with these regal gems?
45622And you retired?
45622And you saw her next, Miss Stuart, when?
45622And you say she was unamiable?
45622And your detective work?
45622Another thing, Estelle; you put bromide in the glass of milk in order that Miss Carrington might sleep soundly, and not hear Bates come in?
45622Any luck?
45622Are there new records? 45622 Are you sure she came from the room?"
45622As how?
45622At least,he went on,"we have the facts and the approximate time of the crime; have you, Miss Stuart, any suspicion of who the murderer can be?"
45622At what time was she killed?
45622At what time was this?
45622At what time?
45622But are they safe?
45622But did n''t he?
45622But do n''t you care who killed her? 45622 But how could they get it?"
45622But how else explain the glove?
45622But how?
45622But if it was not left by the intruder, where could it possibly have come from? 45622 But look at it,"reasoned Anita;"_ why_ would the Count kill Miss Carrington?
45622But not of a_ reptilian_ nature?
45622But not so much as she had on when you discovered her in the morning?
45622But she wore the jewels during the evening, did she not?
45622But the snake? 45622 But the snake?"
45622But was she not a capable woman, who could be supposed to know her own mind?
45622But what do you make of this story of Miss Frayne''s about hearing Miss Stuart in her aunt''s room?
45622But what else killed her? 45622 But who put it there?
45622But why not? 45622 But why would the beauty doctor or the clairvoyant person give a patient poison?"
45622But wo n''t he feel a necessity to help investigate the murder?
45622But wo n''t you be with me, Carr? 45622 But you did not hear this other person''s voice?"
45622But you fixed it, thinking she would?
45622But you have a safe?
45622But, Auntie Lucy, we could n''t get them if they are n''t made, could we? 45622 By no means; I have all the proofs of your crimes and I ask you if you will confess here, or to the Police?"
45622Can I do anything for you, Auntie, to- night or to- morrow?
45622Can you prove it?
45622Carr wicked?
45622Collusion?
45622Come away, Pauline,and Haviland appeared and took her by the arm;"where''s Anita?"
45622Could any one going through the hall see you?
45622Could it be one of Cousin Carr''s?
45622Could it be,he went on,"that she was talking to herself?
45622Could it have been self- administered?
45622Could she have been killed first and could the jewels and adornments have been added afterward?
45622Could this have been placed round her neck after death?
45622Could you, by inquiry, find out if Miss Carrington purchased it herself at any of those places?
45622Dangerous, how?
45622Did Miss Carrington leave you a bequest of ten thousand dollars in United States bonds?
45622Did her voice sound like the despairing one of a person about to die?
45622Did it kill her?
45622Did not this seem to you a strange circumstance?
45622Did she give no reason for the request? 45622 Did she see you?"
45622Did she seem angry with the person to whom she was speaking?
45622Did you buy a paper snake?
45622Did you go down again and close it?
45622Did you go to her room?
45622Did you hear it at all?
45622Did you not catch a word from the other voice?
45622Did you put bromide in your aunt''s glass of milk, Miss Stuart?
45622Did you say anything that could have been taken as a hint that some time, say, in the near future, you might express such an aspiration?
45622Did you tell her so?
45622Did you walk near the house, while on the Garden Steps''estate?
45622Do n''t you love me any more?
45622Do your friends often leave you large sums of money on such short acquaintance?
45622Does handwriting mean much to you?
45622Does this seem like a dream?
45622Does your theory implicate Miss Stuart?
45622Enough for you to discern the man clearly?
45622Estelle,and Pauline loomed tall and magnificent as an accusing angel,"what do you know of your mistress''death?"
45622Even so, why did n''t she see the approach of the assailant in the mirror? 45622 For Bates went there only to steal the jewels?"
45622For what purpose did you purchase it?
45622For you? 45622 Forgiveness for what?"
45622Go to Egypt?
45622Gray, does he suspect me?
45622Has this nephew been notified yet?
45622Have they really jailed him? 45622 Have you any idea what she meant?"
45622Have you any idea whose it can be? 45622 Have you any suspicions?"
45622Have you examined the thing?
45622Have you got a right to do all this? 45622 Have you seen Bates since?"
45622Have you?
45622Haviland?
45622He heard something to frighten him off?
45622Her habit? 45622 Her speech was not continuous, then?"
45622Hey? 45622 Honestly, Count Charlier?"
45622How can I tell? 45622 How can you be so sure it was a burglar?"
45622How dare you say that?
45622How do you account for this?
45622How do you do?
45622How do you fix the time so accurately?
45622How do you know it was Bates?
45622How do you know she did n''t? 45622 How do you know so exactly?"
45622How do you know where he is?
45622How do you know?
45622How do you like Count Henri Charlier?
45622How long shall you be away, Carr?
45622How should I know anything about Estelle?
45622How was it taken,--in what medium?
45622How was it you chanced to see her?
45622How was she then dressed?
45622How, then, do you account for the presence of Count Charlier''s glove?
45622I did n''t do it,and the French girl shrugged her shoulders;"why should I poison my mistress?
45622I do n''t know, Hardy, but my point is, why could n''t they steal it if anybody could? 45622 I do n''t mean that; but where could it be bought?"
45622I do not, Miss Stuart,said Stone, quietly, but Pauline responded,"How do I know?
45622I found the other one of that pair of gloves, the mate to the one in the lady''s hands,--where, do you suppose?
45622I went to the door----"At what time?
45622I''m sorry,said Pauline, and her face was white;"Did he-- did he-- c- confess?"
45622I? 45622 If a marauder had appeared, would she have been likely to scream out in affright?"
45622In amiable mood?
45622In an attempt to frighten the lady to death?
45622In looks? 45622 Is it your intention to abandon the trip?"
45622Is it-- is it alive?
45622Is it?
45622Is not that a bizarre clue that should make the case an easy one?
45622Is the action of this poison instantaneous?
45622Is the illustrious Count interesting?
45622Is this of great worth?
45622Just a typical French nobleman, is n''t he? 45622 Look here, Ahri,"he said to the astonished Arab, who had never seen him before,"what have you done with Miss Stuart?"
45622Look here, Mr. Haviland,said the latter,"what do these ladies mean by accusing each other of all sorts of things?
45622Luckily?
45622Mary?
45622May I come in?
45622Might it not be that she was merely talking to herself,--soliloquizing?
45622Might it not have been Count Charlier?
45622Miss Carrington''s lady''s maid?
45622Mr. Hardy,and Pauline spoke calmly, now,"do you_ know_ these things to be true of Count Charlier, or are you assuming them?"
45622No, you''re just a golden morsel of summer sunshine----Haviland''s eulogy was interrupted by a petulant voice calling shrilly:"Where are you two?
45622No?
45622Nor did you hear her?
45622Not knowing that Miss Carrington was dead?
45622Now where were you when Miss Carrington spoke those words to you? 45622 Now?"
45622Of Miss Carrington?
45622Of course; who else would deal such a blow? 45622 Of course; why not?"
45622Oh, so it''s Haviland you think Miss Pauline is shielding?
45622Oh, what is it?
45622Oh, you ca n''t, ca n''t you? 45622 On the face of things, Mr. Haviland, does that look plausible?
45622On the phonograph? 45622 Overturned?
45622Proving?
45622Quite impossible,added Dr. Stanton;"and, too, what would be the sense of such a proceeding?"
45622Ripping picture, eh?
45622Shall I take down mademoiselle''s hair?
45622She spoke to you of money matters? 45622 She was in love with the Count, of course?"
45622She was wearing, let us say, a hundred thousand dollars''worth of jewelry?
45622She was wearing, when you left her, only the jewels she had worn during the evening?
45622Since when have you been master here, Gray?
45622So you left the house at once?
45622So you really think the Count was in this room that night?
45622Stop, Pauline, where are you going?
45622That is so,she said, slowly;"why should you?
45622The evening before her death was she in her usual spirits? 45622 The jewels, mademoiselle; the pearls?
45622Then I may go alone with Ahri to the shops?
45622Then can you not express an opinion or suggest a theory that might account for such strange happenings, at least, in part?
45622Then they are going to suspect me?
45622Then who did it?
45622Then why did n''t Miss Frayne see you there?
45622Then why were none of her jewels stolen?
45622Then you did not have a desire to shield some one from possible suspicion?
45622Then your search is limited by the list of inheritors?
45622Then, Mr. Stone, how can you overlook or undervalue the weight of evidence against Pauline Stuart? 45622 To the desert?
45622To whom_ was_ Miss Lucy speaking when she said those things I heard?
45622W-- what?
45622Wait, Miss Stuart,cried Stone;"what are you doing?
45622Was he fond of his aunt?
45622Was n''t it strange,he mused,"that that Bates person should go in to kill her, the very night somebody else had the same intention?"
45622Was not this a strange bequest to a casual acquaintance?
45622Was she given to such indications of vanity?
45622Was she in an amiable mood?
45622Was the impression of a foot that you saw, the foot of a man or a woman?
45622Was there ever such a time?
45622Well, are n''t you?
45622Well, what do you make of the tracks?
45622Were your good- nights amicable?
45622What about the widow he''s visiting?
45622What are you doing, Anita?
45622What can we do with her?
45622What could it have been?
45622What did he mean?
45622What did she mean by saying''To- morrow all will be different''?
45622What did she mean by that?
45622What did you next do?
45622What did you tell him?
45622What did you understand her to mean by that?
45622What do you know?
45622What do you mean by this nonsense? 45622 What do you mean by unusual or suspicious?"
45622What do you mean?
45622What do you mean?
45622What do you want me to tell you?
45622What does he do in Egypt?
45622What does it mean?
45622What does it mean?
45622What has upset you so?
45622What is it you say, Miss Pauline? 45622 What is it, Ahri?"
45622What is it, Anita?
45622What is it, dear?
45622What is it? 45622 What is this?"
45622What kind of poison?
45622What made you think of Carr, in the first place?
45622What sort of sandwiches?
45622What was it?
45622What was it?
45622What was your errand?
45622What''s doing?
45622What? 45622 What?
45622What?
45622What_ can_ it mean?
45622What_ is_ it?
45622Where could such a snake have come from?
45622Where did you walk?
45622Where is he?
45622Where is that?
45622Where was she then? 45622 Where''s that maid?"
45622Where?
45622Which do you think had a hand in the tragedy?
45622Which is prettier?
45622Which one, Lady Lucy?
45622Which? 45622 Whither?
45622Who did it, Gray?
45622Who did it?
45622Who else? 45622 Who says I did?"
45622Who upset that breakfast tray?
45622Who was it?
45622Who were?
45622Who? 45622 Who?"
45622Whom do you mean by we?
45622Whom?
45622Whose are these?
45622Whose duty is it to look after it?
45622Why cable him?
45622Why did she ever engage such an angel- face as Miss Frayne?
45622Why did you deny the knowledge?
45622Why did you do it?
45622Why did you do this?
45622Why do n''t you finish your task?
45622Why do you all say the old lady? 45622 Why do you ask me so much?"
45622Why do you say that?
45622Why else would Pauline run away? 45622 Why is she sitting in this large easy chair?"
45622Why make- believe?
45622Why neither of the young ladies?
45622Why not a new house?
45622Why not as well as any one else? 45622 Why not?
45622Why not? 45622 Why should n''t I, if I choose?"
45622Why was n''t all that speech addressed to your own attractive face, and you repeat it to incriminate me?
45622Why was she?
45622Why were you afraid? 45622 Why?"
45622Why?
45622Why?
45622Will he question all of us?
45622Will the wonders of this case never cease?
45622Will you now please give me some detailed information as to the circumstances? 45622 With Miss Stuart?"
45622With what?
45622Wo n''t Mr. Loria come back to America?
45622Would you mind telling me how you went straight to the criminal and walked him off to jail?
45622Yes, but how did you know there was such a person as Bates? 45622 Yes, but what scared him, if he did n''t hear anything?"
45622Yes, we have each ten thou''beside, which was all right of the old lady, eh, Anita?
45622Yes, we walked alone in the conservatory for a time,----"You proposed marriage?
45622Yes? 45622 Yes?"
45622You accept that whole, then?
45622You and Miss Frayne have other bequests than those particular bonds you mentioned?
45622You and she are not good friends?
45622You are sure of this, Haskins?
45622You assumed Henri to be Count Charlier?
45622You believe, then, that she did send for it?
45622You both left her in that mood?
45622You brought a lot of your other jewels, did n''t you, Aunt Lucy?
45622You did n''t see Miss Frayne when she went to Miss Carrington''s room?
45622You did not return to this house after leaving on Tuesday night?
45622You did? 45622 You do n''t connect Loria with the crime in any way, do you?"
45622You do n''t know of your aunt ever having consulted any beauty doctor or any such person?
45622You do? 45622 You entered by the window, then, at what time?"
45622You had had any private conversation with Miss Carrington during the evening?
45622You have no thought, then, that Count Charlier was present?
45622You have something to tell me?
45622You heard nothing more at all?
45622You keep them here? 45622 You knew it to be this Estelle?"
45622You know this?
45622You know this?
45622You know, however, that Count Charlier is held pending investigation?
45622You left Miss Carrington at half- past twelve?
45622You may as well own up, Estelle; what did you go down for?
45622You noticed nothing amiss?
45622You saw her after she went to her room for the night?
45622You set it down? 45622 You think Miss Stuart administered the poison purposely, to kill her aunt?"
45622You think he killed her, then?
45622You thought the gentleman was in Miss Carrington''s room?
45622You went directly home?
45622You went directly up the stairs?
45622You were alone?
45622You were glad to get the money, then?
45622You were not in Miss Carrington''s boudoir at one o''clock or thereabouts?
45622You wo n''t go, I assume,said Stone, gently,"until the murderer of your aunt is apprehended with certainty?"
45622You''re fond of pearls, Miss Frayne?
45622You''ve got it all fixed up, have n''t you, Miss Stuart?
45622Your cousin? 45622 ''Nita, I''ll bet you a box of gloves against a box of simple little cigarettes that he does n''t propose to the lady to- night?
45622About nine?"
45622Afraid of what?"
45622Again, if Bates were merely the Count''s tool, would he not, when caught, pass the blame on to his employer?"
45622And how could he be in the room-- in her boudoir-- unknown to the servants?
45622And how could those girls steal it?"
45622And how do real Counts act, I mean in ways that differ from this man''s habits?"
45622And how do you interpret the words,''Henri, you are the mark I aim at?''"
45622And might n''t the butler be mistaken?
45622And she went on,''To- morrow all these jewels will be yours,--if you-- ah, but_ will_ you?''
45622And then----""Well, and then?"
45622And why did she thus treat you?"
45622And why did you put a large dose of bromide in the glass of milk?"
45622And why not give an immediate alarm?
45622And why?"
45622And yet, what good would that do, if she would not tell the truth?
45622And you will have your tea at eight in the morning?"
45622And you, Mr. Stone, do you think me a murderer?"
45622And your cousin, where is he?"
45622And, also, does it not imply the presence of some one who could and did insure her consumption of that sandwich?"
45622And, aside from all that, how could she get aconitine?
45622And, if I had, why did n''t I steal the pearls?"
45622And, pray, what right have you to defend her?
45622And, too, what could have brought Mrs. Frothingham to the verandah of a home where she was not an accepted guest?
45622And, too, what could he do, more than we can?
45622And, what do you think of this?
45622Are n''t you ever going to discover anything?"
45622Are n''t you rather suddenly anxious to leave this country?"
45622Are you glad?"
45622Are you going to a ball?"
45622Are you not sorry for me?"
45622Are you sure you can?"
45622Are you sure you heard correctly?"
45622Are you willing to sacrifice yourself?"
45622As you know, there was none discovered in her room, so what could she have done with it?"
45622At what time did you go away from here, Count Charlier?"
45622Aunt Lucy''s estate is n''t all settled, is it?"
45622But I assume you will tell me frankly anything you may know or learn in the way of direct evidence bearing on the matter?"
45622But I say, Polly, if the two do hit it off, it''s grinding poverty for us, eh?"
45622But as Estelle and Bates are in cahoots, why did n''t she give Miss Carrington the poison, herself?"
45622But could it be-- fright?
45622But does n''t it limit the field of search to realize that it could n''t have been a servant or either of the young ladies?"
45622But has n''t the theory of a living person in there also inexplicable points?
45622But he only said quietly,"What way does your theory point, Mr. Stone?
45622But how could I know?"
45622But if it was bought under promise of secrecy, and if that secrecy were well paid for----?"
45622But might there not be collusion between Friend Count and Bates?"
45622But the conversation detailed by Anita?
45622But what''s a detective for if not to find out secrets?"
45622But where could any of them get it?
45622But where?
45622But why not say so?
45622But will you be away from us?
45622But you heard no replies?"
45622But, Carr, have you forgotten all about America, and Aunt Lucy and-- and Fleming Stone?"
45622But, Polly, whom do_ you_ suspect?
45622But, in such a case, why not say she was in her own room?
45622By Estelle?
45622By anybody else?
45622By the way, where is that record of Miss Carrington''s song that I have heard of?
45622Can I find a broken skull and a black- jack in the same room and not deduce a burglarious assault that proved fatal?
45622Can I see her?
45622Can any of you explain this?"
45622Can anybody dig wherever he likes in Egypt?"
45622Can you give me any idea where the thing could have come from?
45622Can you imagine any one of these directed toward your aunt?"
45622Can you manage that, Illsley?"
45622Can you suggest, from what you heard, who might have been in the room with Miss Carrington?"
45622Could he be tracking her down?
45622Could he have entered the room unknown to the rest of the household?
45622Could it have been placed there to frighten her to death?"
45622Could it mean suicide?"
45622Could she have meant----""She did say it, then?
45622Could she mean that she was expecting the Count to propose to her that evening?
45622Could the Count be going to incriminate himself?
45622Could this person have been the maid, Estelle?"
45622Count Charlier, do you remember hearing my aunt say, last evening, that she expected something to happen to her?"
45622Count Charlier, would you like to hear me sing?
45622Did either of them have any hand in this murder?"
45622Did fright kill her?
45622Did it all come back, then, to suicide?
45622Did it sound as if she spoke always to the same person, or to more than one at the different times?"
45622Did it then kill her?"
45622Did n''t she receive a legacy in Aunt Lucy''s will?"
45622Did she have on the comb last evening?"
45622Did she not then discover the-- the tragedy?"
45622Did she say or do anything unusual?"
45622Did she upset it, or who?"
45622Did this fair doll- like girl know the secret of the tragedy?
45622Did you bring the photographs of the scene?"
45622Did you ever hear it, Hardy?"
45622Did you ever see such a horde of freaks?"
45622Did you get the ones I wanted?"
45622Did you go upstairs?"
45622Did you have murder in your heart?"
45622Did you, Miss Stuart, after leaving your aunt soon after midnight see or hear anything unusual or suspicious?"
45622Did your gentleman burglar persuade her to wear that paper thing?
45622Do n''t you think we ought to-- to put away the jewels?
45622Do n''t you want to find out the murderer and bring him to justice?"
45622Do you feel no pleasure in doing what trifles you can for one who does everything for you?"
45622Do you hear?
45622Do you hear?
45622Do you imagine that Miss Carrington had any foreboding of her approaching doom?"
45622Do you like a thrilling tale?
45622Do you see your boxes?"
45622Do you suppose he went to the boudoir and gave Miss Carrington poison, and then shook hands good- evening, and left his glove in her grasp?
45622Do you suppose the palms and orchids will bring him up to the scratch?
45622Do you suspect anybody?"
45622Do you think I killed Aunt Lucy?"
45622Do you think Miss Carrington bought it herself?"
45622Do you think these strange effects connected with Miss Carrington''s murder were deliberately arranged?"
45622Do you wonder that I came straight over here?"
45622Do you?"
45622Do you?"
45622Even if she were jealous of the Count''s attention, would she go so far as crime?
45622Evidently no premonition of her fate?"
45622Excavation?"
45622From Miss Stuart?"
45622Girl, have you taken leave of your senses?
45622Granting for a moment that Miss Stuart was there, why would Miss Carrington say,''Henri, Henri, you are the mark I aim at''?"
45622Granting these assumptions, can you, Miss Stuart, give us any information that would lead to discovery of the hand that wrought this havoc?"
45622Gray, is she-- murdered?"
45622Had Miss Carrington ever spoken to you of changing her will?"
45622Had he proposed marriage to her?"
45622Had she and Count Charlier planned between them to-- bah,_ why_ did this woman want to kill her neighbor?
45622Had she been to Miss Carrington''s room?
45622Had some one advised her to?
45622Had the poison been placed in the sandwiches?
45622Had this been overlooked by the searchers?
45622Have I discovered this thing only to lead back to her?
45622Have n''t you one?"
45622Have you a theory?"
45622Have you anything to say?"
45622Have you ever wished to be able to judge, understand, and appreciate the characteristics of those gems of Eastern looms?
45622Have you had a good trip?
45622Have you heard Sir Douglas lecture?
45622Have you it with you?"
45622Have you mentioned these things you overheard to any one before this?"
45622Have you no notion of bridge rules?
45622Haviland?"
45622Haviland?"
45622Haviland?"
45622He may have left his glove by mistake,--or----""Or----?"
45622He was to all appearances a burglar----""How could you tell?
45622He will come home?"
45622Hey, what are you blushing about?
45622Honest, now, who is in your mind?"
45622How can I?"
45622How can you so easily take Miss Stuart''s guilt for granted?"
45622How dare you dispute my word?
45622How did you dope it out?
45622How did you fathom this remarkable plan?"
45622How do you explain, even in theory, those two murderous attacks?"
45622How do you get down to it,--if it''s under the Nile?"
45622How do you like the MacDonald?"
45622How does that happen?"
45622How had they appeared, so soon?
45622How shall you go about it?"
45622How?
45622How?"
45622I ask you why?"
45622I assume that some of the servants might possibly have them?"
45622I believe that fool Count was in there, and as he''ll never admit it, and you''ll never believe it, how can it be proved?"
45622I did n''t mean----""You did n''t mean to exasperate me beyond endurance?
45622I understand that you do not wish him to come home, unless he can be of assistance to you?"
45622I was in the hall at the time she declares I was in my aunt''s room,----""Wait a moment, Miss Stuart, is n''t this a sort of deadlock?
45622I was just leaving her, when she called me back, and said,''Wo n''t you stop in at some Japanese shop, and get me a paper snake?''
45622If I should have suspicions, and they should be unjust or ill- founded, is it not better to leave them unmentioned, even to you?
45622If Mrs. Frothingham had matrimonial designs on her distinguished guest, would she not naturally resent his visits to a rich neighbor?
45622If the teller were falsifying, would he tell it that way?
45622If you''re merely suspecting here and there without definite reason, why not include him on your list?
45622Illsley?"
45622Implying that Miss Frayne had anything to do with the tragedy?"
45622In a moment she sat up and cried,"What do you mean, Mr. Hardy?
45622Inspector, can we tell you anything more of importance?"
45622Is he not handsome?"
45622Is it a joke?"
45622Is it because_ you_ do?"
45622Is it safe, think you?"
45622Is it then upset?"
45622Is she-- is she in love with that cousin of hers?"
45622Is the Count, as you describe him, a man who would engage a burglar of the Bates type to commit a brutal crime?
45622Is the house always securely locked at night?"
45622Is there any man present, who knows any of the details of the happenings of Tuesday evening and night?"
45622Is this your glove?"
45622It is, then, your opinion that there was another person in Miss Carrington''s room, to whom she was speaking?"
45622It was Anita''s frightened whisper;"who would poison her?"
45622Just where was it found?"
45622Knowing that the purchase of the toy meant definite suspicion, would n''t any innocent girl have feared and dreaded that exposure?
45622Make no apology or explanation?"
45622May I ask you to await me here, all of you?
45622May I ask you to make no further investigations till my return?"
45622May I not some time record my own amateur attempt?"
45622May she not have made it all up?"
45622Maybe that Estelle?
45622Meanwhile----""Meanwhile, I may be arrested?"
45622Might not the burglar have removed his boots, before entering the room?"
45622Moreover, I know this is Estelle''s,--don''t you, Anita?"
45622Mr. Illsley, do n''t you think young girls should pay some slight attention to the wishes of one who does everything for them?
45622My, but it''s handsome, is n''t it, Estelle?"
45622No, sir, the snake is the key to the puzzle, but how?
45622Nor you did n''t see her actually leaving the room, did you?"
45622Now, Hardy, are you convinced?"
45622Now, are you positive, Miss Frayne, that all these speeches were said just as you have repeated them?
45622Now, continuing the Cleopatra idea, I am sure that the clever clairvoyante,--we''ll assume that''s what she was,----""She?"
45622Now, how does this strike you?
45622Now, if the maid had given or expected to give the poison, why the bromide at all?"
45622Now, then, where did he stand?
45622Now, what did you see when you entered the room?"
45622Now, will you go?
45622Of course, we had all been afraid he would----""Why afraid?"
45622Of course,_ also_, why not Miss Stuart, but why_ necessarily_ Miss Stuart?"
45622Of her will?"
45622Oh, Pauline, my love, my love-- but who?
45622Oh, sir, what does it all mean?"
45622Only, as she meant it to seem, that if he believed in her innocence it could be easily proved?
45622Or Haviland?"
45622Or deliberately falsifying?
45622Or urged it?
45622Or, could she have been spying on the Count?
45622Or, if you do n''t want Africa at all, how about Greece, or over to Algeciras?
45622Out of Cairo?"
45622Pauline feared her aunt would disinherit her----""How do you know that?"
45622Pauline''s smile faded, and she said, abruptly:"Do you think her so beautiful?"
45622Play it for me, will you?"
45622Put him in jail?"
45622Say, Mr. Stone, you think it was that make- believe Count, do n''t you?"
45622See?"
45622Shall I come home or will you come here?
45622Shall I never be obeyed?"
45622Shall I not put them in safety?"
45622Shall I?"
45622Shall we try Algiers for a honeymoon spot?
45622She found Anita on the couch in the hall, and speaking somewhat sharply, Pauline said,"Where''s Estelle?"
45622She wo n''t try to boss me, will she?"
45622Sits the wind in that quarter?"
45622Sitting before the mirror?"
45622Some one who knew of her nightly sandwich?
45622Stanton?"
45622Stone?"
45622Stone?"
45622Stone?"
45622Stone?"
45622Stone?"
45622Stone?"
45622That I had a hand in this affair?"
45622That is no crime?"
45622That was positive, but what did it prove?
45622The first thing we detectives think of is, who will benefit by the crime?
45622The police?
45622The queer costume?"
45622The snake?
45622Then on the heels of this thought, came another, equally logical: if he deemed her innocent, was it not only because he loved her?
45622Then, you see, he is down in her will for ten thousand dollars of those bonds, and he''s very fond of pearls,----""What''s that?
45622They were, of course, stolen?"
45622This case is bizarre enough, in all conscience, yet what can one deduce from that paper snake and that squeezed- up glove?
45622This was what Stone had wanted, to get these two girls at variance; and he helped along by saying,"Were you, Miss Stuart?"
45622Those girls never used a black- jack----""But the poison?"
45622Those magnificent gems?"
45622Those two girls are sworn foes, are n''t they?"
45622To what inanimate object was she talking when she said''To- morrow all these jewels may be yours''?"
45622To whom did it point?
45622To whom else could she have said that?
45622To whom else would she say''To- morrow all these jewels will be yours,--if you-- ah, but_ will_ you?''
45622To whom, if not Miss Stuart, could Miss Carrington''s remarks about beauty have been addressed?
45622Together, then what matter whither?"
45622Understand?"
45622VI A NEIGHBOR''S CALL"Oh, is it not terrible?
45622Was I not such a friend of Miss Carrington as to justify this tribute of respect to her memory?"
45622Was Miss Carrington often angry with you?"
45622Was he very attentive to Miss Carrington?
45622Was it not dark at that hour in the morning?"
45622Was it not far more likely to be a figment of Miss Frayne''s clever mind, for what purpose who might say?
45622Was it not the work of a burglar?"
45622Was it the lady''s habit to have a night lunch?"
45622Was she timid, or fearful of burglars?"
45622Was this her habit?"
45622Was-- was Miss Carrington indisposed at all last evening?
45622Well, in a word, I''ve come into possession of an old papyrus, that tells of a treasure----""Oh, Carr, are you a treasure- seeker?"
45622Well, to whom else could she think of giving my share, but to this scheming girl who tried her best to get my portion, but did not succeed?"
45622What are the immediate effects of a fatal dose?"
45622What are you implying?
45622What are you talking about?
45622What but death could transfer her fortune of jewels to another?
45622What construction do you put upon those words?"
45622What could all that mean, except as I''ve indicated?
45622What could have induced her to do it?"
45622What could the man mean?
45622What did it contain?"
45622What did it mean?
45622What did you see?"
45622What do you make of that?"
45622What do you mean anyway?"
45622What do you mean?
45622What do you see peculiar about them?"
45622What do you see?"
45622What do you think about it?"
45622What does he look like?"
45622What does it all mean?"
45622What does that mean?"
45622What else could free her from her hated lack of beauty?
45622What had he done?
45622What had that poison been in before it was put in that glass?
45622What have you to say now?"
45622What reason could I have for-- for killing my aunt?"
45622What shall I say for you, Polly?"
45622What was Estelle doing all that time?
45622What was it?"
45622What were his suspicions?
45622What_ can_ I say in the face of such a horror?
45622Where are your checks?
45622Where did you get his name?"
45622Where is he?"
45622Where is the key?"
45622Where would either of them be but for me?
45622Where?"
45622Which do you consider the more truthful and honest of the two young women I''ve just been talking to?"
45622Whither away, my Heart''s Dearest?"
45622Who did it?
45622Who did?"
45622Who had had opportunity?
45622Who is n''t?
45622Who said he was fond of pearls?"
45622Who suspects you?"
45622Who was this Bates, clearly implicated in the murder, and known to Estelle?
45622Who''s she?"
45622Who''s your heir to be, Polly?"
45622Who, then, overturned it?"
45622Who, then?
45622Whoever mixed that poison in the glass of water, afterward rinsed the glass and returned it to its place in the bath- room?
45622Why did he do this?"
45622Why did n''t she go in to dress Miss Carrington?
45622Why did n''t somebody want to put her out of the way to get a bequest?
45622Why did you put it in?"
45622Why do n''t you follow out your plan of coming over here in February?
45622Why do you accept her words as truth, yet disbelieve mine?"
45622Why do you stand there like a gibbering idiot?"
45622Why do you want to railroad her into conviction of a crime she never dreamed of?"
45622Why does what I have just told you point to Miss Stuart any more than any one else in the house?
45622Why had she partaken of it on that particular night?
45622Why is she rigged out like this?"
45622Why not Count Charlier, whose crafty cunning shows on his face?
45622Why not Estelle, who knew all her mistress''secrets?
45622Why not Haviland, who is openly enjoying his present responsible position as man of affairs?
45622Why not Miss Frayne, who listened at the door?
45622Why not Miss Frayne?
45622Why not?"
45622Why should I believe one in preference to the other?"
45622Why should she deny it?
45622Why should she?"
45622Why should you?"
45622Why?"
45622Why?"
45622Why?"
45622Why?"
45622Will you come to my place?"
45622Will you go and see what you can round up in the way of the clairvoyante of our dreams?
45622Will you have tea?"
45622Will you kindly answer questions without comment on them?"
45622Will you kindly concentrate on the game?"
45622Will you start at once, please?"
45622Will you, sir, tell me all you know of the poison that killed Miss Carrington?"
45622Would n''t this explain Miss Carrington''s getting her pearls from the bank for this occasion?
45622Would she not, in her vanity, have donned the beautiful boudoir gown and the jewels to appear attractive in his eyes?
45622XIV WHO GAVE THE POISON?
45622Yet, how could he decide?
45622You admit she said it to you?"
45622You admit that, I suppose?"
45622You do n''t want to stay in Cairo, do you?
45622You do not think then, that she took it herself?"
45622You have n''t that, have you, Ahri?"
45622You opened the living- room window for Bates to come in, at about three o''clock?"
45622You prepared a night luncheon for your mistress?"
45622You surely see the justice and the necessity of all this investigation?"
45622You think, Miss Stuart, that you saw Miss Frayne leaving Miss Carrington''s room late that night?"
45622You were at the house till midnight?"
45622_ Who_ suspected it?
45622_ Why_ receive that death blow without a tremor of fear or even a glance of startled inquiry?"
45622_ Why_ was he coming?
45622_ Why_ would she do it?"
45622a philter?"
45622and Lucy Carrington turned on her,"you take her part?
45622cried Anita;"who did it?"
45622cried Dr. Stanton;"where are they?"
45622exclaimed Haviland;"What does Estelle mean by such lies?
45622he objected;"I was a friend, yes; I may have aspired to a nearer relation, yes?
45622inquired the Count again;"do you not fear thieves?"
45622or, say, to a picture,--a photograph of somebody?
45622said Anita, smiling unpleasantly,"why leave so much?"
45622said Pauline, casually;"why did you?
45622she cried, and her big blue eyes flashed angrily;"how could you see me, when you were yourself in Miss Carrington''s room?"
45622she moaned,"Mr. Stone, ca n''t you help me?"
45622two or three?"
45622went on the Coroner;"Is it not customary for ladies at their dressing tables to use a light side- chair?"
45622went on the Count;"you take at least that precaution?"
45622what does it all mean?"
45622what for?"
45622what''s that?"
45622whispered Anita, shuddering,"is she-- is she dead?"
45622who?
45622you''ve made me say a nice, honorable thing, have n''t you?"
7863A belle like your wife? 7863 A quarter of a million?
7863Am I to wear it to- night? 7863 And I can only wear it when you are with me?"
7863And Perrin is her real name?
7863And can you forget who I am?
7863And the child? 7863 And you''ll report to- morrow?"
7863Are n''t you?
7863Are you not grateful for this?
7863But did n''t they bring any letters?
7863But is there any evidence that she had another child-- that she hid away?
7863But later? 7863 But surely you know whether these women were French or not?"
7863Did I look odd? 7863 Do n''t you guess it?"
7863Do you know anything about a man named Nicolas Doremus?
7863Do you mean you would have married me if you had known the truth at the time?
7863Do you mind if I only half confide in you? 7863 Do you think I fail as a husband?"
7863Do you think I''d leave you-- to come home to a dreary house every night? 7863 Fail?
7863Forget it?
7863Going on to the Fairmont?
7863Has she said anything more about going back to Rouen?
7863Have you ever noticed an elderly woman, seated in the court of the Palace Hotel-- immensely stout?
7863Have you tried on your costume?
7863How did you come to change your mind?
7863I only know there must-- must-- be a change-- if-- if-- I am to-- Can''t you take me abroad for a year? 7863 I wonder,"he began gropingly,"if you would mind not going out when I can not go with you?
7863Is he an old friend of your mother''s?
7863Is it true? 7863 Is that your idea of how the indulgent American husband becomes rich?"
7863Is your allowance sufficient? 7863 It ca n''t be true that you are going with me?"
7863My friend? 7863 Nothing else?
7863Oh, yes, I have a new gown-- have you admired it? 7863 Reasons?
7863Recognize her? 7863 Shall Mrs. Ruyler migrate with the rest?"
7863Tell him? 7863 Tell me,"he exclaimed, and the new fear almost choked him,"does any other man interest you-- the least little bit?"
7863The Jameses? 7863 The fourteenth?
7863The society chap? 7863 Then who was her husband?"
7863Trouble? 7863 Two?
7863Well,said the detective,"it''s like the game of button, button, who''s got the button?
7863Well?
7863Well?
7863What are you doing here?
7863What else? 7863 What is the matter?
7863What nationality?
7863What''s this I hear about a wonderful ruby your wife wore up to Gwynne''s the other night? 7863 What''s up?"
7863When do you go down to Burlingame?
7863Where did he bank? 7863 Who may have flourished here fifteen or twenty years ago?"
7863Why did n''t you manage to get it for me?
7863Why not Machiavelli? 7863 Why not?
7863Will you come down to the library? 7863 Will you sit down?"
7863Will you tell me the truth now?
7863Wo n''t I? 7863 Would n''t I?
7863You get out of California, d''you hear? 7863 You knew it?"
7863You see this window?
7863***** As soon as the detective had gone Ruyler drew his wife to him anxiously,"What is it, Hélène?
7863After I''ve delivered the facts?"
7863All of these dames drifted out about the same time--""What was the Englishman''s name?"
7863And give us all away?"
7863And into what sort of woman would she develop if forced along crooked ways by ugly secrets, blackmail, perpetual lying and deceit?
7863And it would be all my own?
7863And what bearing would it be found to have on his wife''s conduct?
7863And why not, with that deep pink blush in her white cheeks, and the velvet blackness of her eyes?
7863And why?
7863And you think the father''s first name was Jim?"
7863Are you standing alone almost in the middle of the room to emphasize the-- difference?"
7863Bleach?"
7863But I should help you to make it a success-- I should be really necessary?"
7863But true?
7863But was there any such insurgent force in her depths?
7863But what is one to do?
7863But what would you?
7863But why did n''t you let me know you were down?
7863But why not?
7863But you''ll give me the first after supper, wo n''t you?"
7863But"Jim"?
7863But, was it, after all?
7863CHAPTER V I"And you wo n''t take me to the party?"
7863Ca n''t you think of any Marie who was married to a Jim-- in-- in that class of life?"
7863Can you beat it?
7863Can you beat it?
7863Can you beat it?
7863Could Bisbee have referred to some other Jim who had"croaked"recently?
7863Could n''t you get there for supper?"
7863Could she have been indulging in a prolonged attack of interior sulks, which affected her spirits, dimmed her radiant personality?
7863Could she have been sent to a convent from the house in Rouen when she was so little that her memories of that first sojourn were confused?
7863Delano was n''t it?
7863Did Medford desert the woman, driving her on the stage?--or elsewhere?
7863Did he merely give the woman a pension and tell her to go back to Rouen, or to the devil?
7863Did they start for Japan, and did he die on the voyage?
7863Do n''t you know Price Ruyler yet?
7863Do n''t you think you can go?"
7863Do you dance until two every night?"
7863Do you mean to say she married and retired-- landed some simp?
7863Do you mind so much not going about unless I can be with you?"
7863Do you think I could have been one of those uncanny children that live in a dream world?
7863Do you want money?
7863Do-- do you remember any woman of the town named-- Marie Delano?"
7863Ever hear of James Lawton''s trouble with his wife?"
7863Get me?"
7863Got anything to do with this case?"
7863Got it ready?"
7863Had Hélène confessed... in desperate need of help, advice?
7863Had this man got hold of his wife''s secret?
7863Have you ever given any to the secret of content?"
7863He felt the detective''s lips at his ear:"Hear anything?
7863He had asked idly:"Where was your convent?"
7863He put the receiver to his ear and asked,"Well?"
7863He''d have driven me to drink, but he''s just your sort--""And what am I doing?
7863Her husband?
7863Her lawyers would pay the baby''s board on the first of every month--""Who were the lawyers?"
7863His own romance?
7863His wife, however, merely shrugged her shoulders and replied calmly:"My dear Price, if that has worried you, why did n''t you say so at once?
7863How could a man know a woman who did not yet know herself?
7863How did you manage the white hair?
7863How did your detective find out?"
7863How tall should you say Madame Delano is?
7863How, then, did he have a French name?
7863I could do anything with it I liked?"
7863I do n''t wonder--""What?"
7863I never could get up enough interest in another man to solve the problem in the usual way-- but there are other resources-- I-- well--""What?"
7863I shall be the partner--""And you mean that you would be willing to bury your youth, your beauty, on a ranch?
7863I wanted so much to take you to- morrow night--""And I ca n''t wear the ruby?"
7863I''ll find out where Ruyler got it, and try--""Do you suppose I''d come out with a duplicate?
7863Left me out?
7863Maman says it is not necessary, but I am half American, so, why not?
7863More likely Lestrange or Delacourt--""Was there a Delacourt?"
7863Moreover, the convent was to receive two hundred dollars a month--""What?"
7863No one has claimed to recognize her?"
7863Of what use to tax her feminine defenses further?
7863Or at any time?
7863Or would it bring him calm, the terrible calm of stagnation, of an inner life finished, sealed, buried?
7863Really, I mean?
7863Shall I wear this wonderful thing?
7863Shall we never have that year in Europe together?"
7863She hates traveling, like all the French; but do n''t you think that, after a bit we shall be able to go over to Europe at least once a year?"
7863She never thought once of--""Of what?"
7863Should he ever enjoy his wife''s companionship?
7863That parasite?"
7863That would mean the greater part of the day in the saddle--"How does it appeal to you?"
7863They were alone after coffee had been served, and he said abruptly:"What is it, Hélène?
7863Was her husband a Frenchman?
7863Was his imagination morbid, or was there something both peremptory and eager in Mrs. Thornton''s tones?
7863Was his life to be a series of unwritten plays, of which he was both the hero and the bewildered spectator?
7863Was n''t that exactly like Flora Thornton''s luck?
7863We did n''t half believe there was such a place, if you remember?
7863We-- I had a detective on the case-- Spaulding merely wanted to nab the man who was blackmailing you--""Do you still believe that?"
7863Well, we are, I guess, but was n''t she one herself once?
7863What are you, after all, but a brilliant child?
7863What avail to guard her merely in the evening?
7863What chance has a woman in a business man''s life?"
7863What d''you mean?"
7863What did your Marie look like?"
7863What do you want?"
7863What does progress mean but the leisure to enjoy the arts and all the finer fruits of progress?
7863What else do we men really work for?"
7863What had her mother-- young and beautiful-- been doing during those years, the years of a mother''s most anxious devotion and pleasurable interest?
7863What line do you intend to take?
7863What more likely than that she and Mrs. Lawton had met at one of the great winter hotels in Southern California, and foregathered?
7863What of them?"
7863What was he to hear?
7863What was her husband''s name?
7863What was the price of the necklace?"
7863What woman would wish her husband to know disgraceful ancestral secrets which were no fault of hers?
7863What''s the use of telling him later, for that matter?
7863What_ was_ it?
7863When did your mother tell you?"
7863Who am I?"
7863Who are you to be?"
7863Why do you ask?
7863Why not let her stay with me?
7863Why not now?"
7863Why should n''t you be?--a young thing--""What else is there?
7863Will you be on hand to guard it?"
7863Would he have despised himself for suffering torments if she flouted him or for wanting to murder any man who balked him?
7863Would it merely be the prelude to another drama?
7863You are fond of society?
7863You are not, of course?"
7863You say her name is Marie now?"
7863You see, he was sick for some time out on Pacific Avenue, and his death was registered where the fire did n''t go--""But what put you on?"
7863You''ve got it, have n''t you?"
7863You?
7863he said, as he handed it back,"but why in thunder do n''t you keep it in a safe deposit box?
53044''And I breakfasted with you and Lemon?'' 53044 ''And I presume you made my bed some time during the day?''
53044''And him?'' 53044 ''And when you went down this morning the chain was still up?''
53044''As to making our fortunes,''Devlin went on,''why not? 53044 ''Believe what?''
53044''But you was going to?'' 53044 ''But you''ll tell me some day, wo n''t you?''
53044''But, Lemon,''I said,''how could you come to speak sech words? 53044 ''Ca n''t you take care of yourself?''
53044''Dev-- what?'' 53044 ''Did I say I know?''
53044''Did it look as if it had been slep in?'' 53044 ''Do I think it will suit?''
53044''Do n''t you?'' 53044 ''Do you really believe so?''
53044''Done?'' 53044 ''Feel better?''
53044''Guilty?'' 53044 ''Have you?''
53044''How do I know what I know?'' 53044 ''How do you know?''
53044''Is he sooperstitious at all?'' 53044 ''Lemon,''I said, when I got cool,''can we afford it?''
53044''Might I be so bold as to ask your name, sir?'' 53044 ''O,''said he,''the private room?''
53044''Shall I go and git your supper- beer, Lemon?'' 53044 ''Should n''t be what?''
53044''That I am an unearthly creature,''he said softly,''sprung from a place which should n''t be mentioned to ears perlite?'' 53044 ''That''s a funny way of talking,''I thought, and I said out loud,''Do you think it will suit, sir?''
53044''Was it found in the young lady''s pocket?'' 53044 ''Was there ever sech an unreasonable woman?''
53044''What are you doing?'' 53044 ''What do you mean by it all?''
53044''What do you say to twenty?'' 53044 ''What do you want?''
53044''What have I said, what have I said?'' 53044 ''What is this I''ve been told as I come along?''
53044''What''s to- day?'' 53044 ''Where would you like''em to be?''
53044''Who said you did it?'' 53044 ''Why do you lock the poor man in?''
53044''Why, Fanny,''said Lemon, seeing me with my bonnet on,''have you been out? 53044 ''With attendance, sir?''
53044''Wo n''t it keep, Fanny?'' 53044 ''Yes, sir,''I answered, hardly giving myself time to look at him, I was that glad of the chance of letting the room;''would you like to see it?''
53044A policeman, sir, or a detective?
53044A sacred and holy pledge,said Devlin,"from me?
53044About the party I drove from Athelstan Road?
53044About what ages were the young ladies?
53044All right, sir? 53044 Am I to see this man before I leave?"
53044An only child?
53044And Mary?
53044And about poor Lemon?
53044And after you came of age?
53044And my desk?
53044And of the small box?
53044And the poor girl''s parents were not aware of it?
53044And you want me to see him?
53044And you would n''t turn your nose up at a thousand pounds?
53044Any news, sir?
53044Are you a devil,I exclaimed,"that you did not step in to prevent the deed?"
53044Are you acquainted with him?
53044Are you alarmed, Fanny,I asked,"by what that boy is calling out?"
53044Are you coming, George?
53044Billiards, sir?
53044But he will see me?
53044But how much did Lemon know? 53044 But how to find that out?"
53044But how to manage that?
53044But surely,he urged,"this will not be classed among them?"
53044But what was he saying that for?
53044But where, where? 53044 But why,"I asked, not at all convinced by his insistence,"do you offer_ me_ such a reward, instead of going to the police?"
53044But why,said Carton, with much affection,"do you torment yourself about it at all?"
53044But you will assist me in my search?
53044By Lizzie Melladew''s sweetheart?
53044By the artist who painted your husband''s portrait?
53044Can he hear us talking?
53044Can you assist me in any way? 53044 Can you imagine my feelings, sir?
53044Can you tell me,I asked,"where Athelstan Road is?"
53044Could we hire a boat from here?
53044Did I ever mention to you,he asked,"that I had a brother- in- law in Australia?"
53044Did either of the ladies appear anxious about it?
53044Did he tell you where they had gone to?
53044Did she do so last night?
53044Did she not go to some place of amusement?
53044Did the poor girl have a sweetheart?
53044Did they drive to the station?
53044Did they have any particular lady friend whom, for some reason or other, they wished to take with them to the seaside?
53044Did you know on the day before that they were going?
53044Did you see him?
53044Did you take particular notice of the gentleman whose hair I''ve been jest cutting?
53044Did your father leave a large fortune?
53044Did your guardian know the name of the poor girl you have lost?
53044Did your husband buy it in England? 53044 Do n''t you think it low enough already, sir?"
53044Do they live together?
53044Do you deny that such a reward has been offered to you?
53044Do you keep a large balance at your bank?
53044Do you know at what hour?
53044Do you know at what time the boat starts from Ramsgate for Boulogne?
53044Do you know him?
53044Do you know his name?
53044Do you know the man who drove them? 53044 Do you know what boat?"
53044Do you know where they have gone to?
53044Do you know where to?
53044Do you know where we can stop?
53044Do you know where?
53044Do you know whether they intended to stop in Margate?
53044Do you know whether your guardian cashed the cheque?
53044Do you mean to tell me,I cried,"that you suspect Mr. Dowsett of complicity in this frightful murder?"
53044Do you think there is anything strange in that?
53044Do you want rooms, sir?
53044Do you wish anything else, sir?
53044Do you?
53044Doctor, sir? 53044 Does Mr. Kenneth Dowsett live here?"
53044Does he lodge here now?
53044Does your husband eat well?
53044Dreaming agin, Lemon?
53044Eh?
53044Exactly; and it speaks well for the police, does n''t it? 53044 Except what, Fanny?"
53044Excuse me for asking,said Carton to Devlin,"but are you a detective?"
53044For God''s sake,said Carton, when Devlin was gone,"who is this man who seems to divine everything, to know everything, and whom nothing disturbs?
53044From his wife?
53044Good- night, mother; good- night, father,and so-- to bed?
53044Had a good night?
53044Has he got hold of you, too, sir? 53044 Has she a sweetheart?
53044Have I been asleep?
53044Have any arrests been made?
53044Have some tea?
53044Have they not seen anything of her?
53044Have you a''London Directory''?
53044Have you any reason,I said,"for suspecting that you are being followed?"
53044Have you discovered anything?
53044Have you ever been here before?
53044Have you had that bird long?
53044Have you made a will?
53044Have you not received it?
53044Have you seen her?
53044He drew this money regularly?
53044He?
53044How am I to be sure of that?
53044How did you learn that Mrs. Dowsett was stopping at 28 Athelstan Road?
53044How do you know that?
53044How do you know that?
53044How many were in the party?
53044How old are you now?
53044How will you send it?
53044How would_ you_ feel, sir, if you heard some one laying by your side saying sech things in the dead of night?
53044How, sir?
53044How? 53044 How?"
53044I beg your pardon,I said;"did you not remark that you expected me?"
53044I do not deny it; but by what mysterious means did you come to the knowledge of it?
53044I wonder what brings him to our shop? 53044 If that be true,"I said, interrupting him,"what made you mention the reward of a specific sum?"
53044If you did, you would adopt it?
53044In connection with the fate of my poor girl?
53044In heaven''s name, what do you want to be forgiven for?
53044In such an event, how will you act?
53044In what way do you propose to turn it to advantage, in the event of my being contumacious?
53044In what you have undertaken for Mr. Portland, will you accept my assistance?
53044In your father''s will what was to become of your fortune in the event of your death?
53044Is Mr. Richard Carton in?
53044Is he any better?
53044Is he at home?
53044Is he impatient to see me?
53044Is he in the house now?
53044Is he?
53044Is it anything to do with those objects?
53044Is it as faithful a portrait as your own?
53044Is it not? 53044 Is it possible,"I exclaimed,"that she can be still at her place of business, in ignorance of what has taken place?"
53044Is there any chance,I asked,"of this boat being delayed?"
53044Is there any other boat starting for Boulogne this morning?
53044Is there anything new concerning the murder?
53044Is there not his own confession of guilt?
53044Is there not one among them upon whom your suspicions are fixed? 53044 Is your fortune under your own control?"
53044Is your guardian in?
53044Is your sight very keen?
53044It is your belief that only two ladies left the house?'' 53044 It was Devlin, then,"I said,"who painted the portraits and stuffed the bird and gave you the stone monster?"
53044Knowing it, then,I said,"and receiving the assurance from my lips, will you do me a service, and be guided by my advice?"
53044Looking for a policeman?
53044Made love to whom? 53044 May I inquire upon what grounds your expectation was based?"
53044My dear guardian,said Carton,"who should know better than I how kind and good you are to me?
53044No,says I;"why should I?"
53044Nor the names of my visitors?
53044Nor where he lives?
53044Not by the other?
53044Not well?
53044Nothing more?
53044Now look here? 53044 Now,"thought I, as I turned the envelope over in my hand,"whom is it from, and what does it contain?"
53044Of a thousand pounds?
53044Of the poor girl who has been so cruelly murdered?
53044On your honour?
53044Payable to''order''or''bearer''?
53044Perhaps,he said,"you will explain what you mean by this conduct?"
53044Really yours?
53044Secretly?
53044Sent your letter?
53044Shall I tell you what is in my mind?
53044So that afterwards he was forced to be frank with you?
53044So that it was not directly through him that you learnt the address?
53044Surely you do n''t believe it was a woman?
53044That did n''t stop me; he was my husband, and if strange things was being done, who had a better right than me to know all about''em? 53044 That surprised you?"
53044That was a nice thing for a wife to hear, was n''t it? 53044 The gentleman bribed you to keep silence respecting his movements?"
53044The question now is,I said,"what step are we next to take?"
53044Then I am to remain home all day?
53044Then what do you mean?
53044Then why did_ he_ not prevent it?
53044Then, in the name of all that''s reasonable, Fanny, what is the matter with him?
53044Then, why do n''t you get rid of it?
53044There, my dear lad,said Mr. Dowsett,"does n''t that tally with my advice?
53044There,said George Carton to his guardian, in a tone of melancholy triumph,"did I not tell you?"
53044They had some boxes with them?
53044They reached the station some time before it started?
53044Was I?
53044Was Mrs. Dowsett or her daughter ill? 53044 Was any other lady stopping with them?"
53044Was she at home when you went from here last night?
53044Was she at home?
53044Was that-- that figure, Fanny, given to you by the artist who painted your husband''s portrait, and who presented him with that stuffed bird?
53044Was there no trace of suffering in her face?
53044Was there nothing said about him?
53044Was this last arrangement of his own proposing, or yours?
53044Was your attention attracted to no other of my customers than this man?
53044Was-- was Lemon''s name mentioned, sir?
53044Well, sir?
53044Well,said Carton,"it is hardly right, is it, to go so minutely into my guardian''s private family affairs?"
53044Well?
53044Well?
53044Well?
53044Were they in the habit of going away suddenly?
53044Were you aware I was in this neighbourhood?
53044Were you in the habit of writing to her?
53044What about?
53044What are the terms of this will?
53044What are we to do?
53044What are you going to do next?
53044What are you looking for?
53044What are you stopping for, Fanny?
53044What brought you here, then?
53044What can they do?
53044What do you mean?
53044What do you pay him for your board and lodging?
53044What do you think of that?
53044What explanation did your guardian give?
53044What good,I said, addressing Carton,"can you, in reason, expect to accomplish by wearing yourself out in the way you are doing?"
53044What has happened?
53044What has kep you so long, sir?
53044What is her age?
53044What is it you wish to impart to me?
53044What is it?
53044What is the use of a friend if you ca n''t make a stranger of him?
53044What is the use of going on in this frantic manner? 53044 What is this?"
53044What luggage was there?
53044What makes you of that opinion?
53044What makes you think that?
53044What need to ask?
53044What on earth is the matter with you all?
53044What part do you propose to assign to me in the business?
53044What time is it?
53044What would you have them do?
53044What''s that for?
53044When did your guardian go to Margate?
53044When the gentleman told you to drive to the London, Chatham, and Dover station, did he say what train he wished to catch?
53044When you woke up on Saturday morning you found that they had gone to Margate?
53044Where has she gone?
53044Where is Mary?
53044Where is his bedroom?
53044Where to?
53044Where?
53044Where?
53044Who could sleep under such agony as I am suffering?
53044Who is in command?
53044Who is to be the judge of that?
53044Who knows what may turn up in the course of the next few hours?
53044Who lives there?
53044Who proposed that?
53044Who?
53044Why are you following me?
53044Why did I allow him to escape?
53044Why did you let whom escape you?
53044Why do n''t you get rid of him, then?
53044Why do you say that?
53044Why should it? 53044 Why should you think that?"
53044Why suppose?
53044Will you please walk this way, sir?
53044Will you tell her to- night?
53044Would it be a liberty, sir,said Carton,"to ask what brings you here?"
53044You ai n''t kidding, sir?
53044You are living still with Mr. Dowsett, and you still regard him as your guardian?
53044You can think of no one?
53044You delivered my letter to my wife?
53044You do not really know my name?
53044You do, sir?
53044You drove a party from Athelstan Road early this morning?
53044You had charge of the two trunks?
53044You have doubtless,I said,"noted the changes that have taken place in the life of civilised cities?"
53044You surely do not suspect that my guardian is mixed up with it?
53044You were in the habit of meeting her, then?
53044You will not attempt to detain me by force?
53044You will remain here,she said sternly to Lizzie; and then, addressing me,"How dare you break into my apartment in this manner?"
53044You will return?
53044You''re quite sure?
53044You''ve quite made up your mind, sir?
53044Your secret intimacy with Lizzie?
53044Yours?
53044_ Hanging_ there, sir?
53044_ Is_ it all right, sir?
53044_ Now, where did he get it all from?_I used to wonder about his age.
53044''Ai n''t we imagining, simply imagining?
53044''And you did n''t have nothing to do with the planning of it?
53044''But why do n''t he come in?''
53044''Do n''t you remember Lemon and me coming in together?''
53044''Have you gone mad?''
53044''Him-- Devlin?
53044''If I may make so bold, sir, are you a married man?''
53044''Is that where Mrs. Dowsett and Letitia are stopping?''
53044''It stands to reason, does it?''
53044''My friend Lemon, your worthy husband, taken ill?
53044''O, what do you want?
53044''Or if that wo n''t do, what do you say to eighty, or a couple of hunderd?''
53044''There, father,''she says,''did n''t my fortune say that I was to receive a letter?
53044''Underneath you, on your chair?
53044''What are you waiting for?''
53044''What do you mean by it all?''
53044''What mischief?
53044''What would you say, Fanny, if I told you I was going to sell the business and retire?''
53044''What_ made_ me go into a fit?
53044''Why should n''t I?''
53044''_ Him_ up- stairs there-- did_ he_ sleep at home last night?''
53044134,178), drawn by me on Saturday, and made payable to bearer, been cashed, and how was it paid, in notes or gold?
53044A cock or a hen?
53044A popular newspaper published in its columns a portrait of the wretch----""I see,"said Devlin,"and you would publish my portrait in the newspapers?"
53044Agreed?"
53044Ai n''t I bad enough already that you try to make me worse?''
53044Am I logical?"
53044Am I right in conjecturing that there is a special reason for your balance being small just now?"
53044An imprudent hour for a girl so young; but, then, what will not love dare?
53044And Mary, my dear sister, is she here, too?"
53044And the other, the elder man, casting anxious glances upon the younger-- who may he be?"
53044And then, as though the words were forced from her against her will,"Do you see a likeness, sir?"
53044And then, in a timorous voice, she asked,"Do you see anything odd in it, sir?"
53044Are you satisfied now that I am keeping faith with you?"
53044Are you sure he wo n''t die?"
53044As matters stand, who is the better judge, he or I?
53044Better to have been wicked at once, better to have been sinful and deceitful all through-- think you not so?
53044But are you sure he do n''t want a doctor?
53044But do you not see-- for God''s sake, do you not see-- that you are making things worse instead of better for me by opposing me as you are doing?
53044But he managed presently to ask:"How long do you intend to detain me?"
53044But how was it possible for me to know?
53044But the poor girl, having been brought to shame----''"''Is that in the paper?''
53044But what could be his reason for proposing that we should go out to business together?
53044But who is Letitia?"
53044But why not, why not?''
53044But why should they speak of him as"poor Melladew"at a time when life had never been so bright and fair?
53044But, I say, Fanny, if you ai n''t been out, what have you got your bonnet on for?''
53044By what dark means had Devlin divined it?
53044Call yourself a wife?
53044Can you send round to the house, and ask her to come and see me here?
53044Can you tell me what''s the matter with him?
53044Could anybody with something dreadful on his mind have slep''like that?
53044Could n''t I bring him to his senses somehow or other?
53044D- e- v- l- i- n. Have you got it well in your mind?''
53044Devlin, I said, upon that,''you slep at home last night, did n''t you?''
53044Devlin:"At what hour did you rise?"
53044Devlin:"Did any one see you leave the house?"
53044Devlin:"Did she know that you contemplated murder?"
53044Devlin:"Did she listen to you quietly?"
53044Devlin:"Did you disguise your handwriting?"
53044Devlin:"Did you walk or ride to Victoria Park?"
53044Devlin:"Did your wife and daughter know this?"
53044Devlin:"Do you know where you are?"
53044Devlin:"How did you know she worked there?"
53044Devlin:"How did you propose to break off the match between your ward and Lizzie Melladew?"
53044Devlin:"In what way did you put the plan into execution?"
53044Devlin:"Recall the occurrences of that day?"
53044Devlin:"There were other reasons for preventing the marriage than your wish that Richard Carton should marry your daughter?"
53044Devlin:"Those pictures were in your mind, and you could not banish them?"
53044Devlin:"To avoid suspicion?"
53044Devlin:"To whom?"
53044Devlin:"Was anything relating to the engagement of Richard Carton and Lizzie Melladew said at the breakfast- table?"
53044Devlin:"Was there anything in your mind in relation to it?"
53044Devlin:"Were your wife and daughter asleep when you left your house?"
53044Devlin:"What did you do after that?"
53044Devlin:"What did you do then?"
53044Devlin:"What did you do with the letter?"
53044Devlin:"What did you write?"
53044Devlin:"What was your object in writing the letter?"
53044Devlin:"What were they?"
53044Devlin:"When you arrived at the Park did you have any difficulty in finding Miss Melladew?"
53044Devlin:"Where did you obtain it?"
53044Devlin:"Where were you on Friday last?"
53044Devlin:"Where were you yesterday?"
53044Devlin:"Who were present at the breakfast- table?"
53044Devlin:"Why did you give Richard Carton a sleeping draught on that night?"
53044Devlin:"Why?"
53044Devlin:"You took a knife with you?"
53044Devlin:"You went to the private drawer for the purpose of finding it?"
53044Did he see me while I was in the fit?''
53044Did it not strike you as strange that your guardian did not mention the part of the country they had gone to?
53044Did not this point to a secret which was hidden from her parents?
53044Did she sleep out?"
53044Did the poor girl live at home?"
53044Did the wretch who killed the girl tell him beforehand what he was going to do, and was Lemon wicked enough to keep it to hisself?
53044Did they go into the country for their health?"
53044Do n''t they paint all the Court beauties, and ai n''t you as good as the best of them?
53044Do n''t touch me, you-- you----''"''You what?''
53044Do you follow me?"
53044Do you hear that?"
53044Do you hear?"
53044Do you know Margate at all?"
53044Do you know the number of the carriage?"
53044Do you see these five shillings?
53044During Bill Foster''s absence I said to Carton,"Do you make anything of all this?"
53044During his absence I said to Devlin,"You will accompany us?"
53044Eh, Lemon?''
53044For what?
53044From her lover?
53044From me:"Yes, Fanny; I hope I am not later than you expected?"
53044From what quarter was light to come?
53044Had he the power of reading thoughts by the mere action of his fingers upon a man''s head?
53044Has anything gone wrong?''
53044Has he taken a religious turn?''
53044Have n''t I got enough to worrit me that you must come nagging at me?''
53044Have not such crimes been committed even there without the perpetrators being brought to justice?"
53044Have you a time- table in the house?
53044Have you any idea what that little box he would not let out of his charge contains?"
53044Have you any notion what you are going to do about him, sir?"
53044Have you any others?"
53044Have you ever heard of second sight?
53044Have you heard any news of Mary?"
53044Have you received an answer to your telegram?"
53044Have you taken that contingency into account?"
53044Have you took leave of your senses?''
53044Have you your cheque- book with you?"
53044He ai n''t been drinking, has he?''
53044He came home and said:"''Fanny, what would you like best in the world?''
53044He kep with me a long time, talking about the-- the----''"''About the what?''
53044He nodded his head, and, when he could control his voice, said,"You were an intimate friend of hers, sir?"
53044He stabs her, quick and sudden, to the heart?
53044He''s a family man, ai n''t he?"
53044Her body is dead, and her soul--?
53044How could I be?
53044How could you come to know all about the murder hours and hours before it was done?''
53044How did he get to know it?
53044How did he know, sir?
53044How do I know that she''s young and beautiful when I did n''t see her face?
53044How do these changes affect me in the matter we are now considering?"
53044How do you know it was wrote?''
53044How do you propose to accomplish your object?"
53044How is dear Lemon?"
53044How many persons went away in Bill Foster''s carriage?"
53044How much an hour?"
53044How shall I deliver myself of the sacred and holy pledge?
53044How shall I describe him?
53044How shall I swear?
53044How should I know it now?"
53044I cried, bursting out into tears;''what_ have_ you done, what_ have_ you done?''
53044I cried,"by asking me whether I have not received a clue?"
53044I handed the book back to her; she took it irresolutely, and asked,"Did you read what I last wrote, sir?"
53044I inquired,"and why should you suppose you would be held responsible for so horrible a crime?"
53044I said,''that I have locked him in, unless you''ve been spying me?''
53044In heaven''s name, how can you be?"
53044In looking again upon your portrait, Fanny----""Yes, sir?"
53044In your workbox?
53044Is he subject to fits?''
53044Is he very ill?
53044Is it a murder that frightens you?
53044Is it agreed?''
53044Is it possible that you ask_ me_ to bind myself to you by a pledge that you deem holy and sacred?"
53044Is it true?"
53044Is she engaged to be married?"
53044Is the murderer caught?"
53044Is there any madness in your husband''s family?''
53044Is there not one among them who could, if he chose, supply us with a starting- point?
53044It is chivalrous, but is it entirely unselfish?
53044It''s a rare piece of work, ai n''t it?
53044It''s wonderful, is n''t it?
53044Lemon clutched my arm, and gasped,"Do you hear that?
53044Lemon, your husband, anything to do with this dreadful deed?"
53044Lemon?''
53044Miss Dowsett?"
53044Money troubles, I suppose?"
53044Mr. Dowsett and the three ladies?
53044My first duty was to place Lizzie Melladew in safety; but where?
53044No?
53044Now, Fanny, who is this Devlin?"
53044Now, who is this young lady of whom you have no knowledge?"
53044Now, why that?
53044O Fanny, is it all a dream?''
53044O, how shall I ever forgive myself-- how shall I ever forgive myself?"
53044Of course it was all fancy, sir; but how would you like to pass sech a night?
53044Of what avail were mere words at such a moment?
53044Of what use could I be in a barber''s shop, and how would my presence there assist me?
53044Pardon, you wish to ask something?''
53044Perhaps you''d like to look at it?"
53044Referring to the entry in the memorandum- book, I asked,"Did this Devlin call for your husband on the Thursday morning that they went out together?"
53044See those shadows moving on the water-- are they not like living spirits?
53044Shall I describe him?"
53044Shall I make you some gruel, Lemon, or anything else you fancy?''
53044Shall I swear upon that, and will it content you?
53044Shall my head be covered or uncovered?
53044She glanced at the paper I held in my hand, and said:"Is there anything new in it, sir?
53044Sunday, is it?
53044Surely it ai n''t me you''re speaking of?
53044The ladies?''
53044The law wo n''t help me, and what am I to do?''
53044The trees where?
53044Then he is in bed at this moment?"
53044Then how was I to gauge the precise value of Mr. Dowsett''s thoughts?
53044Then, why not Mr. Kenneth Dowsett?
53044Then?"
53044There were letters in her pockets which I examined, and then-- and then----"Devlin:"And then?"
53044Things go in runs, do they not?
53044This young girl you speak of, is she in any way connected with you?"
53044Through me?"
53044Unusual?
53044Was I setting in the private room of the Twisted Cow?
53044Was he angry?''
53044Was he with me?
53044Was it day or night?
53044Was n''t I at home and abed when it was done?
53044Was the murderer an acquaintance of Lemon''s?
53044We were young ourselves once, were n''t we?
53044What I mean is, money?"
53044What I think of it makes me melancholy, and makes me ask myself,"Can sech things be?"
53044What are the facts?
53044What can be the meaning of it?"
53044What did you say?
53044What does the doctor say?"
53044What for?
53044What have I done?
53044What hope is there left to me now?"
53044What is the alternative?"
53044What is the time?"
53044What is this?''
53044What made him ketch hold of me, and moan, and cry, and look round as if he''d brought a ghost in with him, and it was standing at his elber?
53044What makes you think otherwise?"
53044What say you?"
53044What should I say next?
53044What was I about to hear-- what to discover?
53044What was Mr. Dowsett thinking of?"
53044What was the amount of the cheque?"
53044What was the meaning of the pitying glances directed towards him?
53044What was to be the outcome of it?
53044What''s been the matter with me?
53044What''s the rent?''
53044What''s the time?''
53044What, then, is the egsplanation?
53044What, then?"
53044When you and Lemon was a- courting did n''t you meet him whenever he asked you at all sorts of out- of- the- way places?
53044Where did you git it from?''
53044Where is Mary?
53044Where is Richard?
53044Where is the murderer, the monster who took the life of my poor girl?
53044Where, but in her lover''s arms?
53044Where?"
53044Which kind of obligation would you prefer from me?
53044Who engaged you for the job?"
53044Who is he?"
53044Who shall say?
53044Who should be better able to appreciate the tenderness and consideration I have always received at your hands?
53044Why on earth do you stare at me so?
53044Why should I elect to pass an intensely uncomfortable night, wandering about paths in an unknown place, to interfere in I know not what?
53044Why should they, in such a seething crowd?
53044Why were you partly disinclined to answer my last question?"
53044Will you do so?"
53044Will you do this for me, sir?"
53044Will you take my simple word for it?"
53044You ai n''t guilty, are you?''
53044You are not a rich man, are you?"
53044You could not banish that idea from your mind?"
53044You have not heard him leave the house since he entered a little while since?"
53044You mean the two ladies?"
53044You will accompany me?"
53044You will do as I have told you?"
53044You would have this as a hostage?"
53044You yourself had no appointment with her on that night?"
53044_ Does_ he drink?''
53044cried Lemon,''are you one of us?''
53044do you hear the wild scream?
53044how did he know?
53044sobbed Lizzie,"Richard is here, then?
53044what am I saying?
53044what do you think of that?''
56960A portrait, I suppose?
56960And did he give you any valuable information?
56960And in the meantime?
56960And she denied it promptly, of course?
56960And the child?
56960And there is no way of clearing yourself?
56960And this is really a fact?
56960And what became of the man? 56960 And what kind of thing do you allude to?"
56960And what was that?
56960And who brought it? 56960 And why?"
56960And you are going to take me to my mother, then?
56960And you believed it? 56960 And you did not produce it at the trial?"
56960And you saw nothing of him?
56960And you were to give it to her when she was alone?
56960And your sister?
56960Any fresh news?
56960Are they never going to tire of this kind of thing?
56960Are you going back to town?
56960Are you sure I ca n''t help you?
56960As I know perfectly well?
56960But are you quite sure?
56960But did they cut off the light?
56960But how on earth did they find out our plans?
56960But perhaps you already know exactly what has happened?
56960But what does it matter? 56960 But what is wrong?
56960But where shall we go?
56960But who was interested in taking her away?
56960But why have you not come in the ordinary way? 56960 But why inconvenient?"
56960But why should it, my dear uncle? 56960 But, surely, you are not going to take it like this, sir?"
56960Ca n''t you guess who it is? 56960 Can it in the least matter?"
56960Did I not bring you a letter from your mother?
56960Did I not say that I had been a prisoner all those years? 56960 Did anybody ever hear anything so foolish?"
56960Did it?
56960Did n''t you hear anything-- a kind of horrible muffled scream? 56960 Did no servant testify in her favour?"
56960Did you believe her guilty?
56960Did you know my father?
56960Did you see it, too?
56960Do n''t you know that that lady is Mr. Delahay''s wife?
56960Do n''t you know that this is private property? 56960 Do n''t you know?
56960Do n''t you recollect that blind organ- grinder that Vera was so interested in? 56960 Do n''t you think one of you had better go inside and see what has become of my nephew?
56960Do n''t you think we should have Silva arrested, so that at any rate we should be safe as far as he is concerned? 56960 Do you feel equal to it?"
56960Do you know what this contains?
56960Do you mean that she is in danger?
56960Do you mean to say he has n''t told you? 56960 Do you mean to say that Mr. Delahay was talking to himself?"
56960Do you mean to say that you have actually paid a visit to this theatre?
56960Do you mean to tell me that your uncle can not see that that picture is Miss Vera Rayne?
56960Do you quite understand what you are doing?
56960Do you quite understand what you are saying?
56960Do you realise that you are guilty of a criminal offence? 56960 Do you really think so?"
56960Do you think I have not already done so?
56960Do you want me to read any further,he said,"or is that sufficient?
56960Even from Lady Ringmar?
56960Had n''t you better go to bed, Vera? 56960 Have I lied to you in any way?
56960Have I made any attempt to deny it?
56960Have I not just told you so?
56960Have I really, my dear? 56960 Have you any idea where we are?"
56960Have you seen Vera? 56960 He passed you in the corridor?"
56960How can I help you?
56960How can I know? 56960 How can the woman tell us all about it herself?
56960How did that get here?
56960How did you get here?
56960How did you know my husband was in England?
56960How did you manage to find me out? 56960 How long is it since you identified the lady opposite?"
56960How long is it,Walter asked,"since you wanted to run away and leave us?
56960How should I know?
56960How would you get yours?
56960I am afraid,Ravenspur murmured,"that I cannot----""Not even after it was known that you were at work in the studio that night?"
56960I came down here on business----"What business?
56960I should like to see Lord Ravenspur, yes,she said"So you are his ward, Vera Rayne?
56960I suppose that was stolen property we caught Perks looking over?
56960I suppose there is nothing more you have to tell me?
56960I suppose you Scotland Yard people keep yourselves_ au fait_ with most of the sensational crimes which take place on the Continent? 56960 I suppose you do n''t know what time the key was fetched again from the office?"
56960I suppose you have read it from cover to cover?
56960I suppose you received the Countess''s letter? 56960 Inside the grounds?"
56960Is it quite safe?
56960Is it true, Marrion, that there is likely to be a serious split in the cabinet?
56960Is n''t that rather a dangerous proceeding?
56960Is n''t your friend an Italian? 56960 Is there anything more that I can do for you before I go to bed?"
56960Is there anything you want?
56960Is there nothing humorous in the world outside the region of too much beer? 56960 It is your duty to look after the rooms on the same floor as Mrs. Delahay''s bedroom?"
56960May I suggest, Countess, that you go up to the poor man''s bedroom at once?
56960My dear Seton, what is the matter? 56960 My dear guardian, can I have a few moments''conversation with you?
56960My dear uncle, wo n''t you trust me? 56960 My dearest girl, why?"
56960No, unless, perhaps-- good heavens, you do n''t mean to say Silva?
56960Not in a frame, I suppose?
56960Now are you quite sure you are not making a mistake?
56960Now is it not a fact that the Countess Flavio was notoriously a woman of evil disposition?
56960Now, what on earth put it into your head to ask if that man Valdo had any connection with the stolen pictures? 56960 Of whom are you speaking?"
56960Oh, you are not alone, then?
56960Perhaps you will come with us, and join us in a bottle of champagne?
56960Perhaps you would n''t mind telling me her name?
56960See what?
56960She did not appear to be annoyed at that?
56960She had just come in, I suppose? 56960 So that is to be the end of it?"
56960So your friends have all gone?
56960Surely that man is the witness Stevens who gave such startling evidence at the Delahay inquest?
56960Surely you can guess who is with me in this business?
56960Take care of that dog for you? 56960 Tell us, did you hear any noise in the house, or any suspicious sounds?"
56960That is what you are going to do?
56960The deceased was a great friend of yours?
56960Then there is nothing more you can tell me?
56960Then where is he now, Walter?
56960Then you do n''t want to know anything about Fitzjohn Square?
56960Then you think he went out to keep an appointment?
56960There is no reason to mention this to anybody else, you understand?
56960There is no reason why Mrs. Delahay should not know this just yet?
56960They heard nothing in the house?
56960To what good, signor? 56960 Very well- trained dog, is n''t he?
56960Walter, you recollect that little ornament which I bought in Rome, and subsequently gave to poor Delahay who took a great fancy to it? 56960 Was it worth your while?"
56960Was n''t the portrait exhibited before it came back to the studio again? 56960 Was the Englishman ever found?"
56960Was your servant, Silva, in Park Lane disguised as a blind organ- grinder?
56960Well, and what is it now?
56960Well, did you manage it all right?
56960Well, did you see it?
56960Well, what do you make of it?
56960Well, what of that? 56960 What are those young men thinking about?
56960What are you going to do with him?
56960What are you going to do yourself?
56960What can I do for you, gentlemen?
56960What can there be to be afraid of after all these years? 56960 What can you possibly want with me?"
56960What can you want here at this hour?
56960What could you do afterwards?
56960What do you mean by that?
56960What do you mean by that?
56960What do you mean by watching there?
56960What do you mean?
56960What does it all mean?
56960What does it matter?
56960What fresh trouble is this?
56960What have I got to do with it? 56960 What have we done that we should be treated in this way?
56960What have you two been plotting?
56960What is friendship where money is concerned? 56960 What is it, Walter?"
56960What is that thing that you have in your hand?
56960What is the game, gentlemen?
56960What is the matter?
56960What is the matter?
56960What is wrong?
56960What of her?
56960What part of the house shall we try?
56960What time did you retire on the night of the murder?
56960What, down here?
56960When Louis married you, Mrs. Delahay, did he not notice your extraordinary likeness to the Countess, whom he had befriended so many years ago?
56960Where are you going now?
56960Where did you find it?
56960Where did you get that from?
56960Where does it come from?
56960Where have you been all the evening?
56960Where is it?
56960Which of you gave Miss Rayne a letter just now?
56960Who brought this?
56960Who can she be, uncle?
56960Who has not heard of it?
56960Why are you trespassing here?
56960Why did they not get rid of me an hour before, which they could have done equally as well, by the same simple expedient?
56960Why did you come here?
56960Why do n''t you be candid with me? 56960 Why do you come here persecuting me like this?
56960Why go into that?
56960Why make any bones about it? 56960 Why play with me?"
56960Why should you assume ignorance in that way? 56960 Why should you do so now?"
56960Will the poor fellow recover consciousness?
56960Will you be so good as to come down? 56960 Will you permit me to call you a cab?
56960Wo n''t you sit down?
56960Wo n''t you tell me what it is?
56960Would it be inquiring too much if I asked who else is in this business?
56960Would you like to search the house? 56960 You are a professional spy, then?"
56960You are absolutely certain you are not mistaken?
56960You are quite certain of that?
56960You have n''t enough to justify an immediate arrest, I suppose?
56960You have something very important?
56960You know nothing of my history?
56960You know where we are going?
56960You married Delahay?
56960You never heard of Valdo before, then?
56960You remember Count Flavio and his brother twenty years ago? 56960 You saw nothing suspicious in that?"
56960You see what I mean?
56960You thought nothing of the lights going out?
56960You want as far as possible to avoid a scandal?
56960You want me to find the diary, do you not? 56960 You will do it at once?"
56960You will do nothing rash?
56960You will find her for me?
56960Your child?
56960A moment later the whole place was plunged in darkness----""You mean that the cable was cut?"
56960AT WHOSE HAND?
56960Am I telling the truth, or am I a liar?"
56960Am I to go on being treated as a child?
56960And besides, how are you going to guard against this happening again?
56960And how am I repaid?
56960And how is it that you are back so soon?"
56960And how many friends would be left to me?"
56960And how was I to know that there was a chance of Mr. Delahay coming back?
56960And in what way is my uncle interested in my welfare?"
56960And now can I get you anything?
56960And now, little Vera, when are we to be married?"
56960And now, perhaps, you will be good enough to tell me what you are after?"
56960And now, sir, will you be so good as to tell me your name?"
56960And now, will you leave it to me to obtain a nurse, or would you like to send one of your own?"
56960And so you have an idea that this is the way in which my poor friend met his death?"
56960And what extraordinary allurement did they hold out to her to induce her to go off with strangers in this way?
56960And what have I done?
56960And what more natural than I should seek out my sister at the first opportunity?
56960And what was it that he had told him after all?
56960And when, on the top of that, the picture is perfectly familiar to you, why, my dear uncle----""You mean you had seen the picture before?
56960And who rang so imperiously and persistently for admission?
56960And why does he want to go round to his studio at such an hour in the morning?"
56960And why, for the first time in his life, had Lord Ravenspur caused the bloodhounds to be brought up from Hampshire?
56960And why?
56960And you wo n''t love me any the less because I have thought of her as well as you?"
56960And, besides, if anything happens to you, what are we going to do about Vera?
56960Are we going to raise an alarm?"
56960Are you going to tell me that it is one and the same family to whom my sister and myself were attached?"
56960Are you quite sure that I have not made a mistake?"
56960At Whose Hand?
56960Besides, what does it matter?
56960But am I not to know, Walter?
56960But are you not coming back with me?"
56960But do n''t you think we are getting rather from the point, uncle?
56960But has it ever occurred to you, Countess, that before long Vera will have another and a closer guardian than either of our two selves?"
56960But how could I marry Walter when I had no name of my own?
56960But how did they manage, how could they have communicated with Vera?
56960But if you thought it was stolen property, Lord Ravenspur, why did you invest in that little disc which you took such a fancy to?"
56960But tell me, how did you manage to ascertain the fellow''s proper name?"
56960But what are we going to do about our journey to Weymouth?
56960But what are we going to do?
56960But what do you want me to do?"
56960But what has all this got to do with that fellow Stevens?"
56960But what has all this got to do with your purchase of this morning?"
56960But what has become of him?"
56960But what is the use of sitting here jawing like this?
56960But where is Walter?
56960But why discuss this now?
56960But why do I worry you with these trivial details when there is so much of importance to say?
56960But why do n''t you put this matter in the hands of the police?
56960But why had her mother so suddenly displayed this tender solicitude, after leaving her absolutely alone all these years?
56960But you see I have no claim upon him, and if anything happened to him tomorrow what would my position be?
56960But you would not understand-- was there ever a man yet who really understood a woman?
56960But, my dear girl, do n''t you see what a needless sacrifice it would be?
56960But, surely, between the three of them, they would be able to manage?
56960But, tell me, have you had a very enjoyable evening?
56960But, tell me, what opinion did the world form as to the merits of this extraordinary case?"
56960But, tell me, what opinion did you form of Countess Flavio''s character?"
56960By the way, have you seen anything of Mrs. Delahay today?"
56960Could there be any connection between the thief of the picture and Lord Ravenspur''s midnight guest?
56960Could you tell me how it happened?
56960Delahay?"
56960Delahay?"
56960Did Delahay know your identity before he married you?"
56960Did he happen to ask for letters or anything of that kind?
56960Did n''t they tell you about it?
56960Did they think she was going to run away?
56960Did you come alone?"
56960Did you notice anything strange about her?"
56960Do n''t you see that I can not do without you?
56960Do n''t you see that any such action on your part would be worse than useless?
56960Do you feel quite convinced?"
56960Do you happen to have a dog collar and chain in your pocket, Perks?
56960Do you happen to know her London address?"
56960Do you know that I was five times tried for my life?
56960Do you know that for four years I was the most execrated woman in South Italy?
56960Do you know, mother, that Walter and myself have been lovers ever since I was fourteen?
56960Do you mean to say that you could part with your own flesh and blood in that callous way?"
56960Do you recollect my coming in one night and you asked me my opinion of it?"
56960Do you recollect what a poor creature called Stevens said?
56960Do you remember my telling you the other day that I felt how impossible it is for me to remain here any longer?
56960Do you suppose for a moment that I am afraid of my own life?
56960Do you suppose that I care what happens when my mission is accomplished?
56960Do you think he would like to sell the picture?"
56960Does he happen to be a friend of yours?"
56960Does she live with Lord Ravenspur?
56960For instance, did you find a watch on the body?"
56960For instance, have you a sister who is very like you?
56960Forgive me asking you, but is n''t this decision on your part rather a sudden one?"
56960Had Flavio deceived me?
56960Had I done wrong?
56960Had she taken off her things?"
56960Has n''t he got something to do with the variety stage?
56960Have the police solved the problem?"
56960Have you bought anything from him for which you paid without asking any questions?"
56960Have you found anything yourself that is likely to give you a clue?"
56960Have you got any money?"
56960Have you had any dealings lately with this man Stevens?
56960Have you heard of him?"
56960Have you quite forgotten what you owe to your late master''s children?"
56960How can I tell?"
56960How could I know anything?
56960How did it come about?"
56960How did it happen?"
56960How did you manage to escape?"
56960How do I know that if you marry Vera you would not be marked down for the same fate as myself?"
56960How does the idea strike you?"
56960How long did I stay here, and where did I go afterwards?"
56960I am perhaps wrong to tell you this----""But where had she been?"
56960I did not know that she had a child----""Do you know who the child is?"
56960I do n''t wish to appear curious, my dear fellow, but what relation is Miss Rayne to Lord Ravenspur or yourself?"
56960I do n''t wish to ask you anything likely to cause you pain, but does it not occur to you that your husband might have been concealing something?
56960I mean, before their marriage, did you think that the woman really cared anything for our poor friend?"
56960I suppose I am at liberty to tell her what you have just said to me?"
56960I suppose I can come into your house and write a letter?
56960I suppose I can find a cab?"
56960I suppose it is interesting?"
56960I suppose now that you wo n''t want me to telegraph to the Hampshire place for the dogs?"
56960I suppose that is Cannon Green station just at the end of the road?"
56960I suppose they had a dressing room and a bedroom?"
56960I suppose we can do no more till after the inquest is over?"
56960I suppose when Mr. and Mrs. Delahay came in from the theatre they got the key of their bedroom from the office in the ordinary way?
56960I suppose you came to see Lord Ravenspur?"
56960I suppose you will believe the servants at the hotel?"
56960I think you will agree with me that we want another hand?"
56960I was too far off to hear what he was saying, but it seemed to me----""What are you talking about?"
56960I wonder if it is possible to obtain a photograph of the Countess?"
56960If I give you permission to go over the premises, will you be prepared to apologise and go away without further delay?"
56960If I were not anxious for your welfare do you suppose I would be here at all?"
56960If anything happens you will say as much for me, wo n''t you?"
56960If it were true, what should I have to gain by denying it?
56960If we had only gone straight to our own house in Fitzjohn Square this dreadful thing-- but why do I think of that?
56960In the face of Mrs. Delahay''s evidence, are you prepared to repeat your first statement?"
56960Is it your fault that you are utterly incapable of getting your own living?
56960Is n''t that so, Inspector?
56960Is n''t the name of Flavio familiar to you at all?
56960Is n''t your friend in London at the present moment?"
56960Is there any relationship between them, Ravenspur?"
56960Is there anything else, gentlemen?"
56960Is there anything fresh?"
56960Is there anything new in this ghastly business?
56960Is there nothing that you can suggest?"
56960Is this a mere coincidence, or is it a menace and warning of the old trouble which has never ceased to be with me night and day the last twenty years?
56960Louis is all right, I suppose?"
56960My dear Lord Ravenspur, you surely did not expect to find Miss Rayne by simply opening the door and going through the house?
56960Need I say any more after that?"
56960Now I dare say you wonder why the police were not called in at once?"
56960Now do n''t you know that the law punishes people severely for this kind of thing?"
56960Now how do they strike you?
56960Now is n''t it rather significant, bearing in mind what Berti says, that Mrs. Delahay''s name should be Maria?"
56960Now is n''t that picture the property of a man named Valdo who is at present under engagement at the Imperial Palace Theatre?
56960Now tell me, have you any relations?
56960Now who does it remind me of?"
56960Now who was it that called at the studio in the early hours of the morning?"
56960Now, could you?"
56960Now, is there anything more you can tell me?"
56960Now, let me see, what would be the most likely thing to appeal to the sentiments of a young girl like Vera?
56960Now, tell me honestly, Walter, is the danger really great?"
56960Otherwise, what was to prevent Vera coming down the stairs and appealing to Walter for his protection?
56960Perhaps it was a question of money, or family property, or something of that kind?
56960Perhaps madam does not want to be remembered?
56960Shall I tell you, for instance, what happened after this inhuman wretch brought his child home again?
56960So long as I know that your feelings remain unchanged----""What is that?"
56960So the child that he had known, and been so passionately attached to, eighteen years ago had grown up to be a worthy representative of her race?
56960So you are interested in Mrs. Delahay?
56960Suppose he found Walter, and asked him what he was doing there?
56960Suppose he insisted upon showing him all over the house?
56960Surely my uncle must have guessed, he could not be so blind as not to see-- Vera, dearest, can not you understand what I mean?
56960Surely you can guess who it is who is responsible for the death of my poor sister''s husband?"
56960Tell us who it was who murdered Mr. Louis Delahay?"
56960The question is, what are we going to do with him?"
56960Then who did he see whose likeness to me is so great as to deceive a pair of keen eyes under a brilliant electric light?
56960Then why are you trying to deceive me now?"
56960Therefore, how did the bill get here?
56960They seemed to think that your sister was not altogether sane-- but why should I torture you with these details?
56960Vera''s mother is in a position to say---- But what am I talking about?
56960WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
56960Was he at all the sort of man to make enemies?"
56960Was he locked up?"
56960Was he wearing a watch?"
56960Was it possible that her sister was still alive?
56960Was it possible that she had been deceived all this time?
56960Was not that so?"
56960Was she the sport of circumstance, or was she the woman she denied herself to be?
56960Was the companion a man or a woman, might I ask?"
56960Was there some secret door which Lord Ravenspur used, and of which nobody knew anything?
56960We will put Bruno on the scent, and if-- Hallo, what''s this?"
56960What Does It Mean?
56960What are the police thinking about?"
56960What are you looking about here for, John?"
56960What can you tell us about this case?
56960What could we do better than pass ourselves off as an Ordnance Survey party down here on business?
56960What do you think happened?
56960What had those people to be afraid of?
56960What is a man like that doing to make an enemy, who is prepared to run the risk of being hanged for killing him?
56960What is all this I hear about one of the dogs?"
56960What is the grudge you have against my uncle?
56960What is the meaning of this outrage?
56960What is your idea?"
56960What is your name, for instance?"
56960What man is there who has ever succeeded in penetrating the unfathomable depths of a woman''s mind?
56960What more natural than that he should have a bloodhound on the premises?
56960What possible interest could Mr. Lance take in that diary?
56960What shall we do with him?"
56960What was to prevent him returning again when the house was asleep and finishing his work?
56960What would the officials at Waterloo think when we did n''t turn up last night?
56960When did I take it from the safe, and why?
56960Where can we get some breakfast?"
56960Where did it come from, and why did it agitate you so?"
56960Where do I come in?"
56960Where?"
56960Who is the fellow?"
56960Who was it, he wondered, who came so late?
56960Why can not you let me alone?
56960Why continue this unnecessary conversation?
56960Why did n''t you finish your story while you were about it?"
56960Why do I hesitate in this way when boldness and decision would avert the danger?"
56960Why do people pay money to sit in stuffy theatres and watch comedies and tragedies when they can see and hear the real, palpitating thing for nothing?
56960Why had they kept the knowledge from her?
56960Why run this risk when a few words would prevent any danger?
56960Why should that grave- looking official stoop down and imitate the motions of one who is stroking a dog?
56960Why you should come at such an inconvenient time?"
56960Why, then, should she not go out and take a cab as far as Isleworth Road?
56960Why, then, should you go out of your way to suggest that he had even been here?"
56960Why?"
56960Will you look at the lady again and see if you have not made a mistake?
56960Will you please go on?"
56960Will you precede me?"
56960Wo n''t you take me into your confidence?
56960Would there be any objection to getting her to accompany us as far as Cannon Green tonight?
56960Would you mind finding Walter and sending him to me?"
56960You are quite sure of this?"
56960You believe it still?
56960You can say why you went out and what for?"
56960You did not know till you saw the papers the next day that you had made a mistake?"
56960You do n''t mean to say that she is in court?"
56960You heard me speak just now of Luigi Silva, but, of course, you will remember him perfectly well?"
56960You know who I mean?"
56960You may say that I am showing a great deal of dissatisfaction----""My dear girl, you are not dissatisfied, surely?"
56960You mean the Count''s diary, which was not produced at the trial?"
56960You recollect what a handsome man he was?
56960You remember my uncle being robbed of some pictures a few years ago, one of which he declared was the best thing he had ever done?"
56960You remember what you told us at the inquest?"
56960the Countess said mechanically,"and you came back to England?
55312A foe?
55312About the time of the murder?
55312About what time did you leave this place?
55312About what time was the shot fired?
55312About what time?
55312About what time?
55312About what?
55312About what?
55312Admitting that she did,cried Paul,"whom do you suspect?"
55312Admitting that, what about the prophecy?
55312Ah, well; what of it? 55312 Aid you-- in what?"
55312Alone?
55312And Herne?
55312And I ask again why have you changed your mind?
55312And Mr. Lovel bribed him to hold his tongue?
55312And he had it with him on the night of the murder?
55312And her confession?
55312And how did you trace her connection with the Rainbow Feather?
55312And in the meantime--?
55312And killed Milly, why do n''t you add?
55312And leave my mother, Iris?
55312And now, Mr. Mexton,cried Catinka, when they were seated,"why you come for this visit-- eh?"
55312And that Lucas Lovel admired Milly so much that he wished to marry her?
55312And that she was-- murdered?
55312And what about Mother Jimboy, who is so important a witness in this case?
55312And what are you-- in London? 55312 And what did Mr. Herne say to this?"
55312And who is guilty?
55312And why?
55312And you know who is guilty?
55312And you saw no one when in the lane?
55312And you think I am the man?
55312And you think she killed Miss Lester out of jealousy?
55312And you?
55312Are you going away?
55312Are you out of your mind?
55312Are you rich?
55312Are you so sure of that, Mr. Drek? 55312 Are you so sure of that?"
55312Are you sure?
55312Are you, then, a gipsy?
55312Are your parents alive?
55312Are your parents still alive?
55312Are-- are you mad?
55312At all events you will stay with her until after the trial of your stepfather?
55312At least tell me why you wish me to do nothing in the matter until your return?
55312At what time?
55312Away from the village?
55312Because I learnt from Catinka----"You have seen Catinka?
55312Because I told a lie to screen myself from possible danger?
55312Because Lovel is her grandson?
55312Because of Milly?
55312Because of Mr. Herne-- a man you do n''t care for?
55312Brent,said Herne, while his companions waited in wonder to know why he had stopped the man,"were you in the lane last night?"
55312But a dead body was?
55312But how can you get her to speak?
55312But what can I tell you about it?
55312But what has all this family history to do with the murder?
55312But what is this you would say? 55312 But what of your secret visit?
55312But why do you believe all this?
55312But you can assure him that you did not meet Miss Lester last night?
55312But you know Lester is innocent?
55312But you were in the lane?
55312But you were with him in the Winding Lane?
55312But, Paul,urged Iris,"he might have seen Lovel kill Milly?"
55312But, if so, why did he not raise the alarm on the moment?
55312By whom, man?
55312Ca n''t you wake him out of this cataleptic state?
55312Can I come also, Selina?
55312Can he move?
55312Can you defend yourself at all?
55312Catinka?
55312Could it be that Lovel killed her?
55312Did I not tell you so? 55312 Did Mr. Herne know who wrote them?"
55312Did Mr. Herne shoot Miss Lester?
55312Did he believe them?
55312Did he defend himself?
55312Did he give you any useful information?
55312Did he leave me still in the trance?
55312Did he see me fire the shot?
55312Did he take the hint?
55312Did you do so?
55312Did you find them?
55312Did you go down by the same train?
55312Did you hear the shot fired?
55312Did you hear the shot?
55312Did you know that she wrote the letters?
55312Did you see Miss Lester here?
55312Did you see Mr. Herne at Barnstead at all?
55312Did you see anyone else near the spot?
55312Did you see him fire it?
55312Did you see him kill the girl?
55312Did you see that stranger in church?
55312Did you speak to them then?
55312Did you think Chaskin was the murderer at that time?
55312Did you?
55312Do n''t y''know, sir, Miss Clyde''s sweet on Mr. Lovel, and she''ated Miss Lester like pisin?
55312Do n''t you wish you were?
55312Do you believe him guilty, as Herne does?
55312Do you believe him?
55312Do you believe in palmistry, Lovel?
55312Do you believe what that fellow says, Chaskin?
55312Do you know him?
55312Do you know who killed Milly?
55312Do you know who wrote Herne those letters?
55312Do you know?
55312Do you not feel well?
55312Do you really believe he killed his own daughter?
55312Do you think I killed her?
55312Do you think he killed the girl?
55312Do you want to see me, gentlemen?
55312Does Brent say she committed the crime on that motive?
55312Does Mr. Herne believe in his guilt?
55312Does Mr. Herne think that Brent saw the murder committed?
55312Does she say who killed Miss Lester?
55312Does the clue guide you to London?
55312Eh-- why not? 55312 Eh?"
55312For what reason?
55312For what reason?
55312For what reason?
55312For what?
55312Great tasks are never easy,declared Catinka, with the fire of heroism in her eyes;"but do you not think I had better go on with my story?"
55312Has Miss Link done so?
55312Has any name been mentioned?
55312Has he? 55312 Hast thou found me out, O my enemy?"
55312Have the public got tired of her, then?
55312Have you a third admirer?
55312Have you any money?
55312Have you any reason for believing in his innocence?
55312Have you no sense of shame, man? 55312 He was there, then?"
55312Herne,burst out Chaskin, who had restrained himself with difficulty during this speech,"do you know what you are saying?
55312Herne?
55312How came you to see those letters, Catinka?
55312How can I ever thank you for all you have done?
55312How can I? 55312 How could I have loved such a woman?"
55312How d''ye know they met?
55312How did he explain this friendship?
55312How did she know your address, Herne?
55312How did she take your reproof?
55312How did you know her?
55312How did you know?
55312How do you know Herne was there? 55312 How do you know I was on the common?"
55312How do you know that he was going to meet her on that night?
55312How do you know the criminal is a man?
55312How do you know?
55312How is your step- father?
55312How long is it since you saw her?
55312How should I know, when Brent tells me that you go to him to worm out my secrets?
55312How was it you did not see them again?
55312How-- how do you know I took a revolver out last night?
55312How? 55312 I see you can clear Lester,"said Paul with emphasis,"but what about Lovel?"
55312I shall tell you,she said slowly,"but you will use the knowledge to hunt down the assassin of Milly?"
55312I should think not, indeed, mademoiselle?
55312I suppose you intend to speak to Darcy and get me a lecture?
55312I want to know why you were in Barnstead Church three weeks ago?
55312I would willingly believe you guiltless, sir, but what can I say-- what can Lovel say-- in the face of such evidence as this?
55312I, my dear?
55312I? 55312 I?
55312I?
55312If I did-- if I did----"Well?
55312If it is false, why should Mr. Herne make it? 55312 If she does n''t love him, why did she come down here?"
55312If so, and he found the body, why did he not call in the police? 55312 Imposter, am I?
55312In heaven''s name, why?
55312In this court?
55312Iris, why will you lie to me? 55312 Is Milly inside?"
55312Is he bad also?
55312Is he often like this?
55312Is her name to be on the lips of every village gossip? 55312 Is it the name of the assassin?"
55312Is not this the lady you love?
55312Is she beautiful?
55312Is she ill?
55312Is she known to be a Socialist?
55312Is that a good example?
55312Is that a hit at me?
55312Is that true?
55312Is the name symbolical?
55312It is a man, then?
55312It was Mr. Lovel,repeated Iris;"and if he was not concerned in the murder, what was he doing at midnight on the very spot where it occurred?"
55312It would seem so,said Drek in a perplexed tone;"but----""But what?"
55312Jane,he said, quietly,"you are to marry Giles Brent, they say?"
55312Lovel?
55312Lucas Lovel?
55312Milly,she said, as they worked rapidly,"have you thought of what I said to you this afternoon?"
55312Miss Iris?
55312Mother Jimboy, for instance?
55312Mr. Chaskin,said Paul, taking no notice of his interruption,"were the earrings and rings and bracelets of Milly on the body when you found it?"
55312Mr. Lovel, I suppose?
55312My friend? 55312 My girl,"said the inspector after a pause,"have you spoken of this to any one else?"
55312No doubt; but, as I told you, I lost it some four weeks ago,"How did you lose it?
55312No, but I suspect----"Suspect whom?
55312No, but I wish to know why you were there?
55312Of the dead girl?
55312Oh, he has money, has he?
55312Oh, is that the address?
55312Oh, she has a society, then?
55312Oh,said Lucas, shrugging his shoulders,"are you going over the old ground again?"
55312Oh,said that young man, ironically,"and how do you intend to prove my guilt?"
55312On one of your missions connected with religious work?
55312One moment,cried Paul, catching him by the arm as he was moving off,"do you intend to abandon the search for Miss Lester''s assassin?"
55312Perhaps you will explain?
55312Place him where?
55312Puzzled by what?
55312Quite drunk?
55312Relative to the murder of my poor girl?
55312Shall we return?
55312She did it, sure enough;he said, in a crestfallen manner;"but who would have suspected that harmless old woman?
55312She lives in Bloomsbury Square, I believe?
55312She told you about the Rainbow Feather?
55312She? 55312 Since seeing Catinka?"
55312So he did not kill after all?
55312So the poor girl was shot?
55312So you think that the rainbow feather is a clue?
55312Sober, I hope?
55312Suppose we grant that Mr. Chaskin was in love with Miss Lester,said he, after a pause,"why should he kill her?"
55312Sure?
55312The Czar?
55312The Rainbow Feather Society?
55312The Rainbow Feather?
55312The priest? 55312 Then Lovel did meet Milly?"
55312Then how can you explain your presence on the common before nine o''clock of that night?
55312Then there is no love in the matter?
55312Then who did? 55312 Then who did?
55312Then who did?
55312Then who did?
55312Then why did n''t you come forward at the inquest and confess all this, so as to save an innocent man from arrest?
55312Then why did she leave before the sermon?
55312Then why did you not prevent his arrest by producing this revolver at the inquest?
55312Then why do you say that the criminal is a man?
55312Then why do you seek to screen him?
55312Then why does n''t he look after his preserves instead of mixing himself up in Catinka''s mad schemes? 55312 Then you are certain Mr. Lovel is innocent?"
55312Then you believe that Dr. Lester is innocent?
55312Then you did not want Lovel to be arrested?
55312Then you know who killed the girl?
55312Then you suspect someone?
55312Then, if he is innocent, and you also, who is the murderer?
55312To Marborough?
55312To me?
55312To meet with Milly?
55312To see Catinka?
55312To whom do your suspicions point?
55312Very good; then you told her of your intended meeting with Milly? 55312 Was he in disguise when he went to Barnstead?"
55312Was she the strange lady I saw leaving the church?
55312We will talk of that later,replied Paul;"but I want to know if Lovel ever saw you with reference to his passion?"
55312Well, Brent,said Paul, in a cheerful voice,"how are you?
55312Well, Eliza,said he, looking her up and down,"and what do you know about this murder?"
55312Well, I''ve earned the money all right, ai n''t I?
55312Well,said Iris, when he made his appearance,"did you find Brent?"
55312Well,said Miss Clyde interrogatively--"you do n''t suspect him of the crime?"
55312Well-- did you see anyone?
55312Were there many people in the lane?
55312Were you standing by the stile?
55312Were you walking with him on the night Miss Lester was killed?
55312What about the murder, Mr. Lovel? 55312 What about, sir?"
55312What are they? 55312 What are you doing here?"
55312What are you doing here?
55312What are you talking about, gran? 55312 What cases?"
55312What did Catinka tell you, Paul?
55312What did Miss Link say when you told her that Dr. Lester had gone out?
55312What did you do?
55312What did you do?
55312What do you know about Catinka?
55312What do you know about the rainbow feather?
55312What do you mean by this jargon?
55312What do you mean, Herne?
55312What do you mean?
55312What do you mean?
55312What do you mean?
55312What do you mean?
55312What do you think of the position now?
55312What do you think of the verdict?
55312What does he say about the murder?
55312What folly? 55312 What good will that do?
55312What have you done?''
55312What is it you wish to know, friend?
55312What is it?
55312What is that to you, miss? 55312 What is the matter?"
55312What is the name of your informant?
55312What is the use of trying to deceive me, Milly? 55312 What is your opinion of this confession, sir?"
55312What kind of question?
55312What kind of tales? 55312 What makes you think that Brent has been bribed?"
55312What makes you think that?
55312What minx?
55312What of that? 55312 What of that?"
55312What of that?
55312What reason?
55312What sort of a bee?
55312What time did Dr. Lester return?
55312What was the motive for the crime?
55312What would Darcy say if he knew that I met you at so late an hour?
55312What would Darcy say if he knew you were wandering about by yourself?
55312What would you say to Miss Clyde?
55312What''s the likes of him want with the likes of me?
55312What-- what did you do that for?
55312When did you discover that you were of gipsy blood?
55312When did you find this clue you are following to London?
55312When do you return?
55312Where am I to go?
55312Where did the murder take place?
55312Where did you go?
55312Where did you meet him?
55312Where is Dr. Lester now?
55312Where is Lovel?
55312Where is she? 55312 Where is she?"
55312Where is she?
55312Where is the revolver?
55312Where?
55312Where?
55312Who belongs to this association?
55312Who do they say killed her?
55312Who fired the pistol?
55312Who is the person?
55312Who saw me in the lane?
55312Who told you so?
55312Who told you that I returned?
55312Who was it? 55312 Who wrote the note?"
55312Who wrote those letters?
55312Whom do you think he suspects?
55312Why did she trouble to betray you?
55312Why did you follow?
55312Why did you not tell all this to Drek, and prevent the arrest of Lester?
55312Why did you return after midnight?
55312Why do you hate him so, Herne?
55312Why do you make a note of it?
55312Why do you want to know what I think?
55312Why do you wish the clothes brought to the consulting- room?
55312Why do you wish to see Miss Link?
55312Why not ask Lovel himself?
55312Why not? 55312 Why not?
55312Why not? 55312 Why not?
55312Why not?
55312Why not?
55312Why not?
55312Why not?
55312Why should Mother Jimboy desire Milly''s death?
55312Why should he kill her? 55312 Why should she shoot Milly?"
55312Why-- because the girl I loved was engaged to a religious lunatic?
55312Why-- why?
55312Why? 55312 Why?
55312Why? 55312 Why?
55312Why? 55312 Why?"
55312Why?
55312Why?
55312Why?
55312Will she die?
55312Will you be any happier with Herne?
55312Will you come to Barnstead this evening, Paul?
55312Will you do so to me?
55312Ye do n''t think I spake trew? 55312 Yes,"responded Chaskin, trying to preserve his calmness;"and about what?"
55312Yes-- a public confession which is false?
55312Yes; and you ran away?
55312You are a police?
55312You are going to London?
55312You are going to prove his innocence?
55312You believe Dr. Lester to be innocent?
55312You bribed him lest he should inculpate you in the murder?
55312You did n''t see Miss Lester on that night?
55312You did?
55312You do n''t believe such rubbish?
55312You do n''t say that I killed Milly?
55312You do not dare to say that Dr. Lester killed his own daughter-- knowingly?
55312You have a suspicion?
55312You have seen Herne?
55312You know who is guilty?
55312You met Brent by St. Dunstan''s Church at nine o''clock, and went to the Methodist Chapel?
55312You met Herne?
55312You saw Lovel?
55312You saw the corpse?
55312You say you are innocent?
55312You see him occasionally?
55312You see me there?
55312You think, then, that Mr. Herne is innocent?
55312You thought I should find Herne?
55312You were jealous?
55312You will accept my mother''s offer, I suppose?
55312You will have him watched?
55312You wo n''t be angry?
55312--his gaze suddenly fell on Drek--"are you there, bloodhound of the law?
55312--she looked searchingly at him--"or did you come to learn all the particulars of our shame, to publish them to the world?"
55312--she struck her hand together--"was ever a woman placed in such a position?
55312All right-- eh?
55312An you do n''t belave, Miss Milly?
55312An''t''other rye-- who be he?"
55312And what you say about Barnstead?"
55312And who is that priest?"
55312And why have you offered it?"
55312And you?"
55312Are you in love with the man, that you sought to screen him?"
55312Are you sure that he is the murderer of Milly?"
55312But I do n''t believe in palmistry; do you, Iris?"
55312But Iris!--ah, if I could only induce her to love me, then, indeed, in a union with her might I hope for happiness?"
55312But can you defend Chaskin?"
55312But how do you know that I am not lying?"
55312But how should I know the name of the real assassin?"
55312But now that we know the truth, what is to be done?"
55312But tell me, doctor, what else did Lovel say?"
55312But was he guilty?
55312But what do you mean by such a speech, sir?
55312But why should she thus side with the murderer of her sister?
55312Ca n''t you look after her?"
55312Can you help us?"
55312Can you not see for yourself?"
55312Chaskin?"
55312Come, Iris, do you know the name of the assassin?"
55312Critic?
55312Did Iris see me?"
55312Did mun spake tu t''Squoire o''you, dearie?
55312Did she say you would die?"
55312Did you discover a pistol with my name on it?"
55312Did you ever hear so absurd a name, or imagined so ridiculous a symbol?
55312Did you find my handkerchief, bloodstained?
55312Did you make that prophecy knowing that she would be killed within twenty- four hours?"
55312Do you come to take me to gaol?
55312Do you know her?"
55312Do you know him?"
55312Do you know that a rainbow feather was found by Herne on the very spot where Milly lay dead?"
55312Do you know who killed this poor girl?"
55312Do you know who killed your daughter?"
55312Do you not love Darcy Herne?"
55312Do you not regard me as the murderer of Miss Lester?"
55312Do you think I would know if he had not?--or that I would be aware that he paid you five pounds to hold your tongue?"
55312Do you think the murderer has got clean away?"
55312Do you?"
55312Drek?"
55312For what reason?"
55312Have I your promise not to pursue the investigation against Lovel till I come back?"
55312Haw be young squire, Miss Milly?"
55312He is in, I dare say?"
55312Here you are a saint, with your religion and aspirations; but what are you when with Catinka?"
55312Herne is as mad as a March hare, with his aspirations for a higher life, and his socialistic ideas that all are equal?
55312Herne was rather amazed by this strange speech, and replied rather stiffly:"You must certainly know if you shot Milly or not?"
55312Herne?"
55312Herne?"
55312How are you, Lovel?"
55312How can she defend Lovel?"
55312How did it come there?"
55312How should I know?"
55312How you know?"
55312I daresay you came out of your trance on that night quickly enough to see Chaskin steal away from the scene of his crime?"
55312I do n''t suppose the magistrates will ask for a larger amount?"
55312I have come over here to offer my services----""To the police?"
55312I suppose I''ll see you at the funeral this afternoon?"
55312I suppose everyone in Marborough knows that Milly is dead?"
55312I watched the door of the consulting- room, gentlemen, and I seed Dr. Lester come out with a weapon in''is''and----""A pistol?"
55312I wonder who did kill the girl?"
55312I wonder who killed her, and what was the motive for the crime?
55312I wonder who she can be?"
55312I''udn''t rade false for-- eh, dear life, what is''t?
55312I-- I-- O God!--Mexton, you do n''t believe that I killed Milly?"
55312If I''d said I seed Miss Clyde, I''d have had to say why she wos theer, would n''t I?
55312In the meantime, let me ask what you intend to do now?
55312Inspector?"
55312Iris, will you come with me?"
55312Is Drek here?"
55312Is anything wrong?"
55312Is it a clue?"
55312Is n''t it stronger against Herne and Chaskin?
55312Is the-- the-- body in the house?"
55312It is yours, I believe?"
55312It was jealousy which made you come down, no doubt?"
55312Just now inform me why you think Gran Jimboy wrote those letters?"
55312Lester?"
55312Lester?"
55312Lester?"
55312Lester?"
55312Lester?"
55312Lovel knows her, and told her that his mother was Romany, perhaps the daughter of Gran Jimboy-- who knows?
55312Lovel?"
55312Lovel?"
55312Lovel?"
55312Lovel?"
55312Lovel?"
55312Lovel?"
55312Lovel?"
55312Lovel?"
55312Lucas"--she said the name with a glint of terror in her blue eyes--"do you believe in palmistry?"
55312May I ask for your reasons?"
55312May I ask how it came into your possession?"
55312Mexton?"
55312Mexton?"
55312Mexton?"
55312Mexton?"
55312Mexton?"
55312Mexton?"
55312Mexton?"
55312Might he not have killed his daughter while under the influence of drink?
55312Miss Iris went to look for the corpse before nine o''clock----""What do you mean by that expression?"
55312Mother Jimboy warned me once more that evil might come of it----""Might come, or would come?"
55312Mr. Mexton, is your friend mad?"
55312Mr. Mexton, you will come also?"
55312Not knowingly, as I say, but guided mechanically by his confused intelligence?"
55312Others had cleared themselves by reasonable explanation; so why should not Chaskin do the same?
55312Paul received this confession in silence, then said:"May I ask why you placed a rainbow feather on the body?"
55312Queer, is n''t it?"
55312Shall I ever get it out of my head?"
55312So he went down on that Sunday night?"
55312Tell me when it was you saw her?"
55312Tell me-- did you go out?"
55312The play is played out, the actors leave the stage; and now remains the question: What became of them?
55312The public confession?"
55312The question was: Where had she obtained the weapon wherewith to commit the crime?
55312To whom do they point?"
55312Was it to kill Milly?"
55312Was that because you wished to save your father?"
55312Well, sir, and what did she say?"
55312Were you?"
55312What I wish to know is: If Mr. Lovel is not guilty-- which I beg leave to doubt-- who is?"
55312What did you say to Lovel?"
55312What do you make of my story?"
55312What does that matter?
55312What else could I do in such a position?
55312What is the matter with Herne?"
55312What is to prevent my telling your pretty plot about the rainbow feather?"
55312What kind of young woman is she?"
55312What motive had he for killing an innocent girl?"
55312What of that?"
55312What of that?"
55312What pistol?"
55312What proof?"
55312What was the badge of a political society doing in the Winding Lane?
55312What would Darcy say if he knew that all his iniquities were about to be laid bare?
55312What you will, my dear sir?"
55312What; you do n''t know?
55312When did you wake up?"
55312Where are you going now, doctor?"
55312Where is he?"
55312Where was I?"
55312Which one of the three witnesses was to be believed?
55312Who are you?"
55312Who do you think killed poor Milly?"
55312Who else?"
55312Who is he?"
55312Who is the assassin?"
55312Who knows but what I may not have shot my poor Milly unknowingly?"
55312Who knows?"
55312Who?"
55312Why ca n''t you behave in a more honourable manner?
55312Why did he not admit the relationship?"
55312Why did he sneak away to London in disguise, and let Mr. Chaskin bring home the corpse?
55312Why do you ask?"
55312Why do you come to me on such errand?"
55312Why do you say so?"
55312Why do you say such silly things?"
55312Why has he gone?"
55312Why should I conceal my feelings?
55312Why should Mother Jimboy assist Lovel?"
55312Why was n''t she''ome at the Farm?
55312Why, then, should you suspect Chaskin so much?"
55312Will you come also?"
55312Will you promise to stop flirting with him?"
55312Wot wos she doin''in th''lane creepin''arter them?
55312You call him by his first name?"
55312You do n''t object to my seeing her?"
55312You have absolutely no clue?"
55312You know that Milly was engaged to Darcy Herne?"
55312You''ll have some ale with me?"
55312Yourself?"
55312an''ai n''t I''eard arl the talk o''the maids?
55312and cud I''ave said she were watchin''Mr. Lovel and the gal when the five pounds were given to me to''old my tongue?
55312and why had Herne seemed so startled when he picked it up?
55312cried Darcy, with a flash of his brilliant eyes,"she may be designed by God to replace my lost Milly?"
55312cried Drek, astonished by the introduction of this new name--"what had Mr. Lovel to do with it?"
55312cried Drek, sharply,"then you were afraid lest he should be arrested; you refused to speak, so as to screen him?"
55312cried Lovel, ironically,"do you believe also that I did?
55312cried Mexton, impatiently,"if you did----?"
55312cried Miss Lester, flushing;"is it not my duty to do the best I can for myself and my people?
55312cried Paul, starting up,"did you take him back to his house?"
55312do you accuse me of the murder?"
55312exclaimed Miss Clyde--"do you mean to say that they intend to keep Lester in gaol until the trial?"
55312he added, with an afterthought,"where are the clothes Dr. Lester wore last night?"
55312how did you come by it?"
55312how should I know?"
55312how will ye look then, my delicate rye?
55312interrupted Milly, disdainfully;"if I marry you, what then?"
55312repeated Iris--"and Miss Clyde was jealous?"
55312repeated Mexton, struck by the peculiar name,"and who was Luzk?"
55312returned Brent, with contempt--"why, ai n''t I bin ploughman on Clyde''s Farm for years?
55312said Chaskin, emphatically;"and let me ask you, Mr. Lovel, if you were with Miss Lester on that night, at that hour?"
55312said Herne, looking at the pair;"perhaps you suspect me of the crime?"
55312said Iris, in a low voice, and with a flush--"he believes Lovel guilty also?"
55312said Iris; and then added, with a blush:"And did you find her as charming as you expected?"
55312said Mexton, recollecting Herne''s idea of the bribery;"a few shillings, no doubt?"
55312said Paul, puzzled--"and the name of the foe?"
55312said Paul, staring at his informant;"but what was she doing in the Winding Lane at so late an hour?"
55312said he;"my old friend, the murderer of my promised wife?
55312she burst out,"how can I go to Marborough to be pointed out as the relative of a murderer?"
55312she said that, did she?"
55312so you know that Dr. Lester is innocent, Iris?"
55312surely you do n''t believe that a feeble old woman like gran killed Milly?"
55312that may be so,"replied Catinka, with another shrug;"but how is it that I should know?"
55312then you have some inkling of who killed Miss Lester?"
55312then your reason has to do with your society?"
55312where are you?"
55312which of the three accused was to be deemed guilty?
57415After all, Ella, would not that seem to be a most sensible arrangement? 57415 Ah, my dear, what, can I say to him, in what terms can I scold him, when he proffers you to me as his excuse?
57415Am I doing right, Maria, think you?
57415Am I to answer that question, Miss Ella? 57415 And did he?"
57415And do you think I would impose upon his generosity by staying? 57415 And has he never given you any care?"
57415And is this strange news, that Charles Plackett has told me, really true?
57415And the result,--if I may dare to ask it?
57415And this-- why what_ is_ this? 57415 And was it necessary that she should be a stranger?"
57415And what is it, mother, that you have to say to me?
57415And who kept these pass- keys?
57415And why can it not be, I should like to know, if I say that it shall be?
57415And yet your skill prolonged his life until nearly the end of May?
57415And you find me a worse hobgoblin than you imagined?
57415And you have not yet made up your mind to accept him?
57415And you will stay with me a few days now, to begin with, wo n''t you?
57415Anxiety of mind?
57415Are any of the men hurt?
57415Are you not of that opinion yourself?
57415Are you one of the green''uns?
57415Are you sure it was my uncle you saw,she inquired, speaking on the moment''s impulse,"when you were here two days after his birthday?"
57415But about Philip-- about Mr. Cleeve, sir?
57415But how could we live now that our future is marred?
57415But if he should value it?
57415But look at her distress: how shall we get anything more from her?
57415But they let you see him after he was dead-- you who had been his faithful servant for so many years? 57415 But what can he have gone to London for?
57415But what could possibly have led you to such a suspicion as that, Aunt Gertrude?
57415But what of that? 57415 But where?"
57415But who wants it to be broken off, Aunt Gertrude?
57415But why should harm come to him?
57415But, my dear child, will it do for_ you_ to go? 57415 But, oh, Edward, what can we do?
57415But,she objected,"how was any burglar to know that such property was there?"
57415But-- why was it that the fact of this nurse having been at Heron Dyke was never mentioned to me? 57415 By your newspaper work?"
57415Can I see Mrs. Ducie? 57415 Can I speak with you a moment, sir?"
57415Can you assure me, Dr. Jago, that the seeing one or two of his oldest friends would have been absolutely detrimental to my uncle? 57415 Can you give me their address?
57415Can you not spare her?
57415Can you take a message to her?
57415Can you tell to whom it belonged?
57415Care, yes; plenty of it: does he not go roving off by the year together pretty near, leaving me to my china and my things? 57415 Conroy?
57415Dead?
57415Did any of the gentlemen enter your dressing- room during the evening?
57415Did he require the services of a nurse?
57415Did she tell you what the dream was about?
57415Did this nurse remain with my uncle till the last?
57415Did you enter that?
57415Did you put the matter into the hands of the police?
57415Did you refuse him?
57415Did you say, Priscilla, that people at the last were not admitted to see my uncle, save those who had the pass- keys?
57415Did you speak?
57415Did you wish to ask anything, Susan?
57415Did_ you_ think this?
57415Do I gather, madam, that only ladies were present?
57415Do you chance to know this?
57415Do you know this gentleman, Edward?
57415Do you mean that my title to the estate, or non- title, does not matter?
57415Do you mean what you say? 57415 Do you suppose Captain Lennox wished you to think he accused Philip?"
57415Do you think so?
57415Does her sister''s disappearance seem to prey upon her mind as much as it used to do?
57415Frank--turning to him--"do you say you have found Katherine Keen?"
57415Go out of the house at once; how dared you to come into it?
57415Had you any suspicions as to who could have taken them?
57415Had you reason to think he was_ very_ ill?
57415Has he not said something of the kind to you?
57415Has she been frightened?
57415Has this engagement which you tell me of really gone so far that it can not be broken off?
57415Have you any objection to my exploring this north wing?
57415Have you any suspicions?--of any one in particular?
57415Have you fully calculated what the result to yourself will be if it is discovered that fraud has been at work?
57415Have you no welcome for me?
57415He went upon business for you, sir, did he not?
57415How could you have inherited Heron Dyke had the master not lived over his birthday? 57415 How dare you presume so to speak of your master''s kinsman?"
57415How did you get here? 57415 How far do you suppose Mrs. Ducie has been implicated in these unpleasant matters?"
57415How long was this Mrs. Dexter at the Hall-- do you know, Priscilla?
57415How much does Dorothy know about the circumstances of your uncle''s death?
57415How was it that you never mentioned to me that Mrs. Dexter had been here? 57415 I fancy you think it is not mine?"
57415I have been telling lies, have I? 57415 I have tried not to care for him, but----""You find that you, too, are a little weak- minded?"
57415I suppose she is really a widow?--and her name Ducie? 57415 I suppose you never penetrated beyond the green baize doors, after they were put up?"
57415I think I may ask what brings_ you_ here?
57415I wonder why?
57415I-- suppose-- he-- did live?
57415In a week, eh?
57415In what way?
57415Indeed, where was the necessity for employing any? 57415 Is he away from home?"
57415Is he so very graceless?
57415Is he tiring of me?
57415Is he very ill? 57415 Is it quite irrevocable, my love?"
57415Is my esteemed friend here, if I may put the question to him, cognisant of these particulars?
57415Is that all, Miss Ella?
57415Is that the truth, or is it not?
57415Is that you, James?
57415Is the man a sneak?
57415Is your son come home from abroad?
57415It ca n''t be Susan Keen: what should Susan Keen do here?
57415It is a very rich mine, is it not, sir?
57415It is some time since you were at work here, is it not, Priscilla?
57415It was about----"About, what?
57415It would show great weakness of mind, would it not?
57415Lennox? 57415 Love''s young dream, and all that, eh?
57415Madam, can you give me the names of the ladies who were present?
57415Mistress,he stammered in a husky voice,"how did you come to know about the Squire?"
57415Moreover, the Squire ordered me: and when did I ever disobey him? 57415 My dear, can it be true that you have promised to marry this scapegrace?"
57415My dear, if she knows of nothing wrong in connection with that time, how could they alarm her?
57415No gentlemen?
57415Not questions to alarm her, I suppose?
57415Not that I stole them? 57415 Now, why could n''t Frank have married you, for instance?"
57415Of what nurse do you speak? 57415 Oh, have they?"
57415Oh, ma''am, where can she be? 57415 Oh,"said Mr. Tiplady,"embarked money in that, has he?
57415Pardon me, Captain, for asking; but would you mind telling me whether there''s any truth in the report that you are about to leave The Lilacs?
57415Pass- keys?
57415Perhaps Philip is vexed-- disheartened: and so flies to these foolish courses?
57415Perhaps his sister?
57415Perhaps you do n''t care to wait so long as that for my answer?
57415Pray, who is Conroy?
57415Seeing that Heron Dyke is to be given up, it will be necessary to fix upon some nest or other, will it not?
57415Shall you take Mr. Denison''s advice, and let the matter of the succession drop?
57415She kept him shut up behind the green baize doors, and would not let him be seen by anyone: that is what you mean?
57415Suppose,she said to him one day,"that after we are married it should be discovered that I am not the true heiress, and Heron Dyke goes from me?"
57415That was strange, was it not? 57415 Then you have found Major Piper?"
57415Then, what else is there to fear? 57415 There was nothing going on behind those green baize doors, was there, Dorothy?"
57415There_ must_ have been something in all this-- don''t you think so, sir?
57415To what do you allude?
57415Was it at Christmas he told you this?
57415Was it discovered that you had been in?
57415Was n''t that a knock at the shrubbery- door, Phemie?
57415Was the account you gave me of my uncle''s death-- what happened the evening it took place-- a true one?
57415Was there ever so unlucky a wretch as I?
57415Well? 57415 Well?"
57415What am I to do?
57415What be you all at there?
57415What brings you here?
57415What can it be?
57415What do he do up in that north wing so much?
57415What do you purpose doing next?
57415What do you think, Maria, of the advice your father gave me-- to let this doubt as to my inheritance rest, and be satisfied?
57415What have we here?
57415What if there should be, eh?
57415What is it that they are whispering?
57415What is it, Priscilla?
57415What is it?
57415What is it?
57415What is the matter with you, Ella?
57415What shall I do?
57415What then?
57415What were they?
57415What''s that?
57415What''s the best time to find them in?
57415When did he go?
57415When did you see him last? 57415 When was that vision of the hearse and headless horses ever known to show its warning for the likes of you and me?"
57415Where is Susan?
57415Where is he now?
57415Where the deuce did you pick him up, Lennox?
57415Where was the deception-- where the fraud?
57415Where was there another like him?
57415Who did set it agate?
57415Who is here?
57415Who is it that I am not to see?
57415Who is that? 57415 Who is that?"
57415Who knows but that old gentleman at Nunham Priors will give it up to you to live in?
57415Who were those servants?
57415Whose idea was it that you should personate your master after his death?
57415Why have you?
57415Will they not answer you?
57415Will you point out those one or two to me?
57415With any particular object in view?
57415You and Philip have not quarrelled I hope, Maria?
57415You did not like her, then, Dorothy?
57415You have doubtless observed, sir, that it is of rather a curious and uncommon pattern?
57415You will be afraid to venture on marriage with a man so poor as I? 57415 _ How?_""How!"
57415_ Nothing?_repeated Miss Winter.
57415''Why do n''t you see if you ca n''t make up to that young kinswoman of ours at Heron Dyke?''
57415About what, Miss Winter?"
57415And this coffin, nailed down, I suppose, was kept in the room?"
57415And what more natural than that they should turn the handle of her door, intending to keep Betsy company?"
57415And why should he have made a mystery of it?"
57415At that moment Dr. Spreckley passed on horseback; he stared profoundly, as much as to say,"What on earth do you do at that man''s house?"
57415Business might, of course, be detaining him, she knew that; but why did he not write?
57415But had she been seen in the flesh, or in the spirit?
57415But how was it, pray Mr. Frank, that you kept the secret from me?
57415But what had brought him there?
57415But what if she had been alive all this time; alive, and close by?
57415But who was to imagine,"she added, plucking up a little spirit,"that even the smallest danger could exist in mentioning it among ladies?
57415But would you have had me act otherwise than as I have acted?--would you have had me keep the doubt to myself?"
57415But you love him still?"
57415But, do you know_ why_ I have chiefly wished it?"
57415But, to return to the point, you, the mistress of Heron Dyke----""Am I the true mistress of Heron Dyke?--or, rather, shall I continue to be?"
57415But-- pardon my presumption-- may I ask whether you have been able to trace the rumours to any foundation?
57415Can you doubt it?"
57415Can you tell me where to find her?"
57415Confess now, that you had expected to see some dangerous kind of fellow in me: one that bites, eh?"
57415Could it be really wrong to throw away that which was no longer of any value, that which had become a burden and for which he no longer cared?
57415Could it be?
57415Denison?"
57415Denison?"
57415Denison?"
57415Dexter?"
57415Did you see him up to the day of his death?"
57415Do n''t I tell you I have already decided?
57415Do n''t you know me better than that?"
57415Do n''t you remember with what_ empressement_ you introduced him to me?
57415Do the young mistress know of it, I wonder?
57415Do you follow me, sir?"
57415Does he know of this doubt?"
57415Dorothy took heart and courage-- what would Miss Winter say if she knew that she had allowed this?
57415For anything in particular?"
57415From what unknown source, then, could Miss Winter have obtained her information?
57415Give up the old place?
57415Had Lennox walked in at one door and out at the other, without stopping to purchase anything?
57415Had anything been found out?
57415Had he indeed lost her?
57415Had we not better part?"
57415Had you not better await the return of this wandering relative?
57415Have you disclosed this to anyone, or shown the link?"
57415Have you ever seen it before?"
57415Have you questioned your servants?"
57415He did not say to her:"Madam, have you mentioned the fact to any one that such jewels were found?"
57415He is my guest, you know; and you, I presume, are some relation of his?"
57415He said,"To whom did you mention it?"
57415He says----""What''s his business here?"
57415He----""I presume, sir, your man was trustworthy?"
57415How can I?
57415How could he ever bear to face again that mother and her thoughtful love?--how witness her pained face when he should declare his folly?
57415How could they have done that had he not been living?
57415How long before he died?"
57415How much has he drawn out?"
57415How much longer must I wait?"
57415How was he hurt?"
57415How would two o''clock to- day suit you?
57415I presume, however, that you attach very little importance to them?"
57415I said to myself what has become of the master?
57415I waited a day or two; but as he did not return, I came up here.--Have you been house- hunting?"
57415I wonder whether Philip has risked much upon this worthless thing?"
57415If he, strong and fearless man that he was, felt thus, what must be the effect of such an apparition on the nerves of timid and ignorant girls?
57415In the face of these facts, how is it possible-- pardon me the remark, Miss Winter-- for you to give ear for a moment to so absurd a rumour?"
57415In what way do I?"
57415Is he rich?"
57415Is it a bargain?"
57415Is it not his real name?"
57415Is that dutiful?
57415Is that your idea of duty?"
57415It was too much, she said: and why should Lady Maria deprive herself of this much yearly income before her death?
57415Jago?"
57415Katherine?"
57415Keen told you this, Maria?"
57415Keen?"
57415Knowing what he knew, he asked himself how it was possible for him to face Tiplady''s inquiries?
57415Lennox?--Lennox?
57415Lonely?
57415Lost?--lost?
57415Love may be all very well in its way, but why not have combined the two?
57415May I ask you, sir, whether you happen to be acquainted with any such gentleman; or whether he is known in this neighbourhood?"
57415Meath?"
57415Norris?"
57415Now, how should a common thief know which was Miss Winter''s morning- room?
57415Oh, Edward, where did you find it?"
57415Perhaps he might not value the offering?"
57415Perhaps you have not tried to do so?"
57415Sally, this kitchen is not your place; what do you do in it?"
57415Shall I make the inquiry at the bank for you, Lady Cleeve?"
57415She stood bewildered; what could be the meaning of it?
57415Should you not have hastened to open negotiations for the alliance with your cousin the Squire?"
57415Surely they let you look for the last time on that dear face so soon to be hidden for ever?"
57415Susan clasped her hands,"I wonder how much longer we shall have to wait?"
57415The Squire must be dead; she saw that: but why were they concealing it?
57415The last time I was here at work was when you were abroad, Miss Ella, and the poor Squire was lying ill.""Did you see him?"
57415The question was-- who were the manufacturers?"
57415Too late also, perhaps, to gain admittance to his old rooms at the lodge?
57415WHO DID IT?
57415WHO DID IT?
57415Was it accident?
57415Was it in very truth she herself, and not her spirit, that had been seen at different times?
57415Was it true?--or was old Aaron demented?
57415Was there anything that he could do next, except go back home and reveal everything to his mother?
57415Were you in my place, Maria, what would you do?"
57415What are you afraid of?"
57415What can I have the honour of doing for you?"
57415What can be going on, I wonder?"
57415What can we do more than we have already done?"
57415What could Ella answer?
57415What could he be wanted for in that room, of all others?
57415What could that strange gipsy woman be doing with the old missis?
57415What could the morrow bring him, more than to- day had brought?
57415What did you do then?"
57415What do he do it for?
57415What does the mother say?--and the Vicar?"
57415What if she had never quitted the roof of the Hall?
57415What is it?"
57415What is it?"
57415What more can we want?"
57415What more is there to tell?
57415What next?"
57415What now to him, but folly, seemed the spells which he had allowed to be woven round him by the witcheries of Margaret Ducie?
57415What reason could there be?
57415What were his little troubles compared with those which must have driven that poor desperate creature to destruction?
57415What''s he looking after?
57415What''s in here, I wonder?"
57415What, at Heron Dyke?"
57415What_ could_ have become of him?
57415When shall I pay you a visit?"
57415Where can she be?
57415Where did you come from?"
57415Where should he go, and what should he do?
57415Who but he got me a wig to imitate the Squire''s long white hair, and a velvet skull- cap?
57415Who can answer for''t that he warn''t in that theft o''the jewels?
57415Who''s that?"
57415Why and wherefore had the woman''s name never been mentioned to her, or the fact of her having been so long at the Hall?
57415Why crave for more?
57415Why do you look at the trinket so attentively?
57415Why do you look so surprised?
57415Why hasten to meet his mother''s reproachful eyes, and Mr. Tiplady''s incisive questionings?
57415Why not go to him in his trouble?
57415Why not quit a world in which there no longer seemed a place for him?
57415Why not?
57415Why not?
57415Why send a telegram when, if he were to post a letter this evening, it would reach me in the morning?
57415Why should innocent folks suffer for the guilty?
57415Why should you wait till I''m dead?
57415Will you, sir, oblige me with the names of the gentlemen, so far as your memory serves, who made up your card- party on the night of the loss?"
57415You are laughing, are you?
57415You have no objection?"
57415You heard, probably, of the passion he went into?"
57415You would not wish me to, would you?"
57415You----""I am his promised wife, and who has more right to be by his side, at such a time as this, than I have?"
57415Young ladies with only a tithe of your good looks make rich marriages every season; why should not you?
57415_ Must_ she be told?
57415_ What_ was it that she was afraid of?
57415how would all the bric- a- brac be packed and moved?
57415she asked in expressive tones, her eyes gazing straight into the woman''s;"nothing that they wanted to keep from you and from everyone?"
57415sobbed Dorothy:"What shall I do?"
57415where can she be?"
57415why do n''t you come to me?
56237A kind of half truth and half lie?
56237A serious quarrel with his daughter?
56237Afraid of what?
56237And Mr. Shawe agrees with this letter?
56237And changes it afterwards?
56237And did you find out anything?
56237And do you think that I am ready to give you up because your father would act in this way?
56237And does the business pay?
56237And for this reason you wrote the anonymous letter?
56237And he consented?
56237And he did?
56237And if he is n''t guilty, who is, may I ask?
56237And my motive for wishing to get rid of my wife?
56237And to what have my brains brought me? 56237 And were you twins?"
56237And what if you have?
56237And when did she say that she saw Sir Joseph in the lane?
56237And why should she think anything was wrong?
56237And you call him Ralph,said her visitor, glibly;"my dear, what will your father say?
56237And you say that you will marry him?
56237And you see a reason to accuse Madame Coralie?
56237And you will think of me?
56237And you''ll give me the fiver to- morrow?
56237Are you going back to Lady Branwin?
56237Are you going to accuse me of the crime? 56237 Are you going to re- open that painful case?"
56237Are you sure it was five minutes to eight when you were in the room?
56237As I said in my anonymous letter?
56237At the Pink Shop?
56237Audrey?
56237Begin?
56237Bleakleigh-- Bleakleigh,she muttered;"where have I heard that name?"
56237But I do n''t quite see--"How can you, Mr. Shawe? 56237 But I do n''t quite understand what sort of shop this Madame Coralie keeps?"
56237But I wonder what she knows?
56237But I wonder why you ask?
56237But a murder!--oh, what lady will ever come and pass the night here for treatment, when she may be murdered? 56237 But can you do that, Parizade, seeing you are blind?"
56237But do you really think that there was a man in the passage on that night?
56237But how did Lady Branwin manage to conduct a business about which she knew nothing?
56237But how did you enter her bedroom?
56237But if it leads to more sorrow, dear?
56237But if my mother was not strangled for the sake of the diamonds, why was she killed?
56237But what about the Pink Shop?
56237But what am I to say when I stay here all night?
56237But what would be the use of his entering the court,objected Shawe,"seeing that he could not get into the house?
56237But when am I to see you again?
56237But where shall I begin?
56237But why could n''t he speak plainly to me? 56237 But why did he put the clock wrong?"
56237But why should Eddy kill your mother?
56237But why should Miss Pearl hesitate to address her?
56237But why should she so very much want to conceal it?
56237But why should there be secrecy?
56237But why was she murdered?
56237But why?
56237But will my father send my boxes?
56237But you had some conversation with her?
56237But you wore a suit of Harris tweed on that night?
56237But your career?
56237But, Audrey,said Ralph, who could scarcely conceal his dismay,"how did you escape Mrs. Mellop and your father?"
56237But-- who is Rosy Pearl?
56237By finding his daughter?
56237By the assassin?
56237By the way, where have Vail and Badoura gone to, and who is going to carry on the Pink Shop business?
56237Ca n''t you hear them chattering and laughing?
56237Ca n''t you see? 56237 Can I come also?"
56237Can I get Miss Branwin a glass of water?
56237Can he be traced by it?
56237Can we?
56237Can you expect a man to supply a reward for his own capture?
56237Can you go through with it?
56237Can you?
56237Could Mrs. Mellop have been mistaken?
56237Dear Aunt Flora, how are you?
56237Did you come here to declare your real name and explain?
56237Did you do what I asked you to do, Joseph?
56237Did you mention anything about the discrepancy in time?
56237Did you mention if you knew why I came to you, aunt?
56237Did you not see my mother occasionally?
56237Did you wear a Harris tweed dress when you were at the Pink Shop?
56237Do I ever object to pay when you go on my business?
56237Do n''t you know that I can turn you out of this house without a single penny? 56237 Do n''t you think that we might sit under this elm?
56237Do you believe that Rosy Pearl really did murder my mother so that the way might be opened to her to be my father''s second wife?
56237Do you call me Elsie, as father does?
56237Do you know the name?
56237Do you like Colonel Ilse?
56237Do you mean to say that Joseph has dared to turn you from your home at this hour?
56237Do you mean to say that she has pawned the diamonds? 56237 Do you remember how I told you that I was hunting for the hospital nurse who stole Colonel Ilse''s child?"
56237Do you think that I am going to place my happiness in Lord Anvers''hands? 56237 Do you think that robbery is the motive for the murder?"
56237Do you think that she is guilty?
56237Do you think that the assassin is a man?
56237Do you think that the man would have turned Audrey out of doors had he found she was not his daughter?
56237Do you wish me to go?
56237Does she know that he was in the Pink Shop on that night?
56237Enlist your sympathies?
56237Flora Arkwright?
56237For instance, that you wished Lady Branwin to die?
56237For what reason, Miss Pearl?
56237For your feelings?
56237From necessity?
56237Gave you her diamonds?
56237Grannie, grannie, will you never credit anyone with good intentions?
56237Had you not better see papa?
56237Has n''t Madame Coralie given you food?
56237Has she any other grounds upon which to base such a statement?
56237Have you ever seen Madame Coralie?
56237Have you not been listening to what I have been saying, Mr. Shawe? 56237 Have you traced the diamonds?"
56237He could climb over the wall, perhaps?
56237He is pleased at your discovery, I expect?
56237He? 56237 He?
56237His stolen daughter?
56237How can I when you refuse to trust me?
56237How can she force him?
56237How can you be sure of that?
56237How can you learn?
56237How can you think of such a thing? 56237 How dare you talk in that way?"
56237How did he get the key from Madame Coralie?
56237How did the assassin know that Lady Branwin had jewels with her?
56237How did you know it was me?
56237How do you come to know my name?
56237How do you know that she is marked in this way?
56237How do you know?
56237How do you know?
56237How is it that you are here?
56237How-- how did you know that I was here?
56237I am angry in any case, seeing that you will not trust me; but afraid--she looked at him very straightly--"why should I be afraid?"
56237I hope everything is arranged legally?
56237I sincerely hope that you have been successful in this instance?
56237I suppose she was the person you heard breathing in the passage?
56237I suppose,said Audrey, after a pause,"that you know some people suspect you?"
56237I thought you told me that he was not at dinner, and went out very early?
56237I wish to know if you saw anything when you stayed at the Pink Shop likely to lead you to suspect who is the assassin of Lady Branwin?
56237I wonder if she is guilty?
56237I wonder who wrote this?
56237I wonder,murmured Ralph, leaving the house,"if she''s a born liar, or if she is really and truly telling the truth?"
56237I wonder--"You wonder what?
56237I''ll stay to- night with pleasure-- you will do what I want, wo n''t you?
56237In a word, Miss Toat, do you suspect anyone?
56237In connection with my mother''s death?
56237In the darkness, of course?
56237In what way, Aunt Flora?
56237Is Lady Branwin at the shop now?
56237Is Lady Branwin''s presence at this shop a secret?
56237Is Madame Coralie to be seen?
56237Is a miracle required in this case?
56237Is it Lady Branwin?
56237Is my mother really dead?
56237Is n''t it natural, papa? 56237 Is she respectable?"
56237Is that all you have to say? 56237 Is that why you chose to write me an anonymous letter?"
56237Is the bag in this room?
56237Is the girl to be called Audrey or Elsie?
56237Is there anything wrong?
56237Is there no other entrance into the court?
56237Is this the opinion you have of me?
56237It is important, is it not?
56237Killed her?
56237Know what, for instance?
56237Lady Branwin went down with the deliberate intention of killing her husband, did she not, Ralph?
56237Look at what?
56237Madame Coralie?
56237Madame--Ralph started forward--"what do you mean?"
56237Madame, where were you when my mother was murdered?
56237May I inquire what you want?
56237Miss Branwin has left the house? 56237 Miss Pearl must have been angry that she did not get any money?"
56237My darling--he took her hands and looked into her eyes--"surely you are not dissatisfied with me?"
56237My father-- you suspect my father?
56237Not dead?
56237Now, I wonder why Mr. Shawe did not tell me this?
56237Now, what do you think?
56237Of this letter? 56237 Of whom, may I ask?"
56237Oh, I dare say, dear; but do your father and Mr. Shawe understand one another? 56237 Oh, and you learnt enough to make you suspect Vail?"
56237Oh, what does that matter? 56237 Oh, what is the use of mincing matters?"
56237Oh, you will, and when-- when, confound you?
56237On what grounds do you make that assertion, Audrey?
56237Papa, what do you mean?
56237Parizade might have mistaken the smell?
56237Parizade? 56237 Perhaps you suspect Eddy Vail?"
56237Ralph--Audrey caught his hand--"do you think that you are treating me in a straightforward way?"
56237Ralph? 56237 Rosy Pearl, perhaps?"
56237Rouse her jealousy?
56237Ruin myself--his arms slipped round her waist, and he placed his cheek against hers--"how could you do that, you silly darling?"
56237Shall I go, Madame?
56237She and you accuse me of-- of murder?
56237She knew that you kept this shop?
56237She was very pretty, and I-- well, my dear, who could be pretty with this?
56237Sir Joseph, you ca n''t mean this?
56237So Joseph remembers me in that way, does he, my dear?
56237So you are going with the young couple?
56237So you said in the letter,Audrey assured him, coolly;"but what pain is it that you wish to spare me?"
56237So you still adore the daughter of that wretched woman who was murdered in the Pink Shop?
56237Something bad?
56237Stupid?
56237Such a woman as should stand in the place of my dead mother?
56237Surely, papa, you will not marry again?
56237Tell me, Rosy, have you any idea who murdered my wife?
56237Tell me,said Lady Sanby, quite forgetting that she had asked what she had called a last question,"What of Perry Toat?"
56237That nice military man who came as I went yesterday, you mean, do n''t you? 56237 The Pink Shop?
56237The blind girl? 56237 The lady who refused to allow her name to be given-- who slept in the upstairs bedroom?"
56237The music- hall dancer? 56237 The window?"
56237Then I understand,said Shawe, quietly,"that she is not guilty?
56237Then Mr. Shawe did not tell you about my idea as to the clock in the still- room being wrong?
56237Then Vail and Badoura were accomplices after the fact?
56237Then if the assassin could get over the wall, he could easily escape?
56237Then pass my card into him, and--"Are you a relative of the deceased, sir?
56237Then the window could easily have been opened from the outside?
56237Then this assassin was a burglar?
56237Then why are n''t they walking here along with us?
56237Then why consider them?
56237Then you are sure that she is the nurse who stole the child?
56237Then you do n''t believe in Perry Toat''s theory?
56237Then you do suspect someone?
56237Then you have failed?
56237Then you infer,said Shawe, promptly,"that the assassin must be someone attached to the Pink Shop?"
56237Then you knew all the time that Lady Branwin was masquerading as Madame Coralie?
56237Then you love me, darling?
56237Then you think that the assassin entered and left by the window?
56237This is Madame Coralie?
56237To my father?
56237Unless what?
56237Was he in the house?
56237Well, and supposing you prove that the still- room clock is wrong?
56237Well, and why did you tell me? 56237 Well, mamma,"she asked inquiringly,"will Madame Coralie give you the treatment?"
56237Well,said Audrey, after a pause, and very impatiently,"what do you say?"
56237Well,she repeated, raising her sandy eyebrows,"ca n''t you see that the procuring of the key would take some time?
56237Well?
56237Well?
56237Were you asked it before?
56237What about?
56237What are they?
56237What are you doing here?
56237What are you going to do exactly, Ralph?
56237What can you expect, my dear? 56237 What did Miss Pearl overhear?"
56237What did she mean by that, exactly?
56237What do you know of Miss Pearl? 56237 What do you know of this woman?"
56237What do you know?
56237What do you know?
56237What do you make of it?
56237What do you mean by one of his prowls?
56237What do you mean, Ralph?
56237What do you mean? 56237 What do you mean?"
56237What do you mean?
56237What do you mean?
56237What do you mean?
56237What do you say to that, Ralph?
56237What do you say, Audrey?
56237What do you think of it?
56237What does she mean?
56237What does she mean?
56237What does that matter to me?
56237What happened then?
56237What has Miss Pearl got to do with your father going down to see you?
56237What has he found out?
56237What has that got to do with me? 56237 What have you discovered?"
56237What if I did?
56237What if you did?
56237What is her name?
56237What is it? 56237 What is it?
56237What is it?
56237What is it?
56237What is it?
56237What is on the other side of the wall?
56237What is that you say?
56237What is that?
56237What is that?
56237What is that?
56237What is the matter?
56237What is the reason?
56237What is there to explain?
56237What is to be done now?
56237What is to be done now?
56237What is to be done?
56237What is two thousand a year to you?
56237What is your opinion of the case as it now stands?
56237What kind of goods does she sell?
56237What makes you think so?
56237What more?
56237What of your own good name which your own wicked actions are dragging in the mud?
56237What sort of person is this husband, and what is his name?
56237What the deuce do you mean?
56237What was she doing wandering about my house at that hour?
56237What were her words?
56237What will the verdict of the inquest be?
56237What would you do?
56237What''s the business?
56237What''s to be done, then?
56237What, before breakfast?
56237What,Ralph joked,"do you expect her to nose the trail like a dog?"
56237What-- what--she stretched out her hands to her equally bewildered husband--"can it be true?"
56237What-- when he was making love to my daughter-- I mean to Audrey?'' 56237 Where are the diamonds?"
56237Where did you get this?
56237Where is my wife?
56237Where is this shop, Audrey?
56237Where''s the mystery?
56237Who are you?
56237Who could have killed her? 56237 Who do you think is the accomplice?"
56237Who dropped the label near the door of the court to make the police think robbery was the cause of the crime?
56237Who is Flora?
56237Who is Madame Coralie?
56237Who is Perry Toat?
56237Who is in charge of this case, officer?
56237Who is it that constantly wears Harris tweed-- almost constantly, that is?
56237Who is she?
56237Who is the other person?
56237Who is the woman?
56237Who strangled her?
56237Who was the man?
56237Why did n''t you tell me?
56237Why did n''t you?
56237Why did the nurse take her away?
56237Why did you do that?
56237Why did you do that?
56237Why did you not? 56237 Why do you laugh?"
56237Why do you stand there without a word, and look as though I had told you I was about to commit a crime? 56237 Why do you think it might be the assassin?"
56237Why do you think so?
56237Why not Flora Vail?
56237Why not arrange to have Sir Joseph and Miss Pearl present also?
56237Why not-- on the grounds that I have stated?
56237Why not? 56237 Why not?
56237Why not?
56237Why not?
56237Why not?
56237Why should I be afraid?
56237Why should I give my hard- earned money to another man''s brat?
56237Why should I not?
56237Why should I not?
56237Why should he desire to get rid of me? 56237 Why should they be aroused?"
56237Why? 56237 Why?"
56237Will Badoura accept that excuse?
56237Will mamma stop for the night, Madame?
56237Will you not be seated? 56237 Will you please wait here, miss?"
56237Will you tell Miss Toat?
56237With your father''s consent, dear?
56237Without giving the alarm?
56237Wo n''t you sit down, darling?
56237Would any man on his honeymoon be pleased to see a detective?
56237Would n''t you like me for a stepmother?
56237Would she commit a murder?
56237Yes, dear?
56237Yes; but what has that case to do with the matter?
56237You are searching for your little girl?
56237You are stopping here, Miss Branwin?
56237You ca n''t connect my father with--"Oh, ca n''t I?
56237You got Madame Coralie to remove her yashmak?
56237You had my note asking you to come to me this evening?
56237You had no intention of coming?
56237You have a theory also?
56237You have known him long?
56237You heard me, did n''t you?
56237You jade, do you ask me that when I find you here in this scoundrel''s rooms at ten o''clock in the evening?
56237You mean that he had remained in the house?
56237You mean that you wo n''t marry me?
56237You mean the allowance to Audrey?
56237You mean to say that she committed the murder in order to steal the diamonds, and has sold or pawned them to realise the spoil?
56237You painted the birthmark on your face?
56237You set one of your servants to spy on your daughter?
56237You think it was a man, then?
56237You were born at Bleakleigh?
56237You were fond of her?
56237You''ll do your best?
56237You-- you murdered my dear wife?
56237Your father has gone down to see you, and you are not there?
56237Your what? 56237 --Audrey started--where are the diamonds?"
56237Am I right in assuming that you have called to enlist my sympathies?"
56237And what do you mean, Eddy, coming up to trouble my girls?
56237And where is she staying now?"
56237And you said you liked Audrey, grannie?"
56237And you?"
56237And, being a true lover, what could he do but think in superlatives?
56237Any more questions?"
56237Any new discovery?"
56237Are n''t both of your parents fond of you?"
56237Are there no footmarks?"
56237Are you not getting any briefs?"
56237Are you one of those men who do not believe that a woman can be virtuous in the midst of temptation?"
56237Are you sure-- are you certain?"
56237Ask her here to stay for a time?"
56237Audrey"--he knelt at her feet and looked anxiously into her face--"why not leave this matter alone and marry me?"
56237Audrey"--he took her hands and looked entreatingly into her face--"why not let sleeping dogs lie?"
56237Besides, how can I go out when poor mother is scarcely cold in her grave?"
56237But how did you learn the name, Miss Toat?
56237But surely, sir, only a man would have the strength to strangle?"
56237But tell me one thing"--he took her in his arms--"have you forgiven me for my strange conduct, for I know that it seemed strange in your dear eyes?"
56237But was it the truth?
56237But what has this birthmark to do with the murder?"
56237But what has this to do with your desire that I should know nothing?"
56237But when I came back after you turned me out of the house and found that my wife was strangled, I--""Your wife?"
56237But why should I bother you with the troubles of other people when you have so many of your own?"
56237By the way, Audrey, how is it that your mother had a label attached to that red morocco bag?
56237By the way, has anything been heard likely to show who is guilty?"
56237By the way, talking about the possibility of that clock being wrong, was your father with you in the car?"
56237By what right do you accuse me of the crime?"
56237Ca n''t you do without it?"
56237Ca n''t you see?"
56237Can you guess?"
56237Come, dear"--she placed her arms round his neck--"you will be my knight- errant?"
56237Did he know that you were going to call for your mother?"
56237Did you murder my mother yourself?"
56237Did your mother happen to mention, when in the lane, that the diamonds were in the bag?"
56237Do n''t trouble, Miss--""Why do n''t you call me Audrey, Aunt Flora?"
56237Do you accuse her?"
56237Do you know Rosy Pearl?"
56237Do you know why Madame Coralie wears a yashmak?"
56237Do you think that Sir Joseph Branwin-- horrid man!--is guilty?"
56237Do you think that?"
56237Do you wish to hear any more?
56237Else why should Lady Branwin, who had no enemies, be strangled?
56237Flora is dead, and I masqueraded as her with the yashmak, and--""Then-- then,"stammered Miss Pearl, with genuine horror,"you killed her?"
56237For what other damsel, as the young man often pointed out, possessed such striking charms as Audrey displayed?
56237For what reason?"
56237Has what I told you given you any help?
56237He got in and found Lady Branwin dead--""And the diamonds gone?"
56237How can I be sure of that?"
56237How can I marry you should my father turn out to be a murderer?"
56237How can you ask such a thing?"
56237How can you get at the truth?"
56237How did you know mine?"
56237How did you know my name, Colonel Ilse?"
56237How was it I did not recognise you then?"
56237How was she killed?
56237However, I shall leave a note saying that we shall return by-- When can we return, Miss Toat?"
56237I daresay you wonder, Mr. Shawe, why, with these sentiments, I am on the music- hall stage?"
56237I expect that he found Lady Branwin asleep, and--""So quickly after you left?"
56237I say, did you see Madame''s husband outside just now?"
56237I should like to know what you expect me to do?"
56237I thought you were going to remain here for the night?"
56237I told you that I would tell him; do n''t you remember?"
56237I trust"--the speaker looked anxiously round the shop--"that no one else heard?"
56237I wonder if she will be still up?"
56237If you think so much of her, why not seek her out and marry her?
56237Inspector Lanton seized on the last word:"Did she expect it to be lost?"
56237Is it wise, Ralph, to interrupt your career?"
56237Is it worth risking that?"
56237Is she really a stupid woman, or is that stupidity feigned?"
56237It''s against my own interest, I admit; but why should I give expensive treatment to a woman who can do me no credit?"
56237May I smoke?"
56237Mellop?"
56237Mellop?"
56237Miss Pearl heard that much and told you, did she?"
56237My dear, have you not been listening to what I have been saying?
56237No wash will make any impression on it, so why waste my time and your money?"
56237Now, why not go to Madame Coralie straight away and rouse her jealousy?"
56237Perhaps you can explain?"
56237Shawe?"
56237Shawe?"
56237Shawe?"
56237She is jealous, is she?
56237Strange, is it not, Mr. Shawe, that she who can restore another woman''s looks can do nothing with her own?"
56237Strange, is it not, after all these years?
56237That puny little racing man?
56237That''s two ideas, though, is n''t it, my dear?"
56237Then you think she employed someone else to commit the murder?"
56237Then, I take it,"he added, with some hesitation,"that you have given up all idea of searching into the mystery of your mother''s death?"
56237Then, without waiting for a reply, she turned to Audrey:"What is the matter that you come here at this hour?"
56237Was he the criminal after all?
56237Was she not my mother?
56237Was that person you?"
56237Well, Ralph, and what do you think of the matter?"
56237Well, and how can I assist you?"
56237Well, and what did she say?"
56237Well, is there anything else you want to know?"
56237Well, so you are going to marry?"
56237Well, what do you wish me to do?
56237Well?"
56237Well?"
56237What about the fourth?"
56237What can she tell?"
56237What creature?"
56237What did she do then?"
56237What do you think of that?"
56237What do you wish me to tell you?"
56237What has become of Sir Joseph''s money?"
56237What hotel would take me in with no baggage?
56237What is it?"
56237What is it?"
56237What is to be done now?
56237What is to be done?"
56237What is your idea?"
56237What man?
56237What reason have you to believe that a man strangled Lady Branwin?"
56237When did Madame Coralie last see my mother?"
56237When did the murder take place?
56237Where are Badoura and Parizade?"
56237Who is Rosy Pearl?"
56237Who murdered her, and why?"
56237Who?"
56237Why did you write that letter?"
56237Why do you ask if I have arranged things legally?"
56237Why do you ask?"
56237Why do you wish things to be left alone?"
56237Why not abandon the whole business and marry me at once?
56237Why not accuse Eddy here, who put back the still- room clock?"
56237Why should I, not knowing it contained diamonds?"
56237Why should n''t I marry and be happy?
56237Why?"
56237You fool, what do you mean by saying such a thing?"
56237You surely do n''t want any of those beastly things?"
56237Zobeide?
56237and did she tell you the truth?"
56237asked Audrey, ironically,"and say what you intend to do?"
56237aunt, will you do this?"
56237do you think, then, that there is more than one assassin?"
56237interrupted Ralph, with a start,"is this what you kept back at Weed- on- the Sands, Miss Toat?"
56237it is Miss Branwin, is it not?"
56237laughed Perry Toat, rebukingly,"do you think that this is Cupid''s Bureau?
56237said the barrister, significantly,"then she was really in the passage on that night?"
56237she gasped faintly, for it had just occurred to her what Mrs. Mellop had hinted,"you do n''t think that my father wrote it?"
56237so you do accuse me?"
56237what is it?"
56237you can pay, can you?
5073A Mexican?
5073A murder?
5073A note?
5073A pawnbroker''s?
5073A tenement?
5073Ah,he remarked,"an anxiety dream?
5073An Ainu?
5073And Dr. Maudsley,I asked quickly,"do you think it is through him or in spite of him?"
5073And Edith Atherton?
5073And I?
5073And how did you repay it? 5073 And if Lynn finds that the necklace in our wall safe is of paste-- as he will find, for he is an expert in diamonds-- oh-- what shall I do?
5073And it has proved effective?
5073And she got away?
5073And the children-- what did you mean by that?
5073And the other man, Otaka?
5073And then?
5073And there is not a clue?
5073And you would do it in war time, too?
5073And your plan?
5073Another one?
5073Antoinette Moulton a steerer for a gambling joint? 5073 Anything else?"
5073Are there no other relatives?
5073Are we in time?
5073Are you going down toward the station? 5073 Are you sure he did it?"
5073Are you sure?
5073Baron Kreiger, I presume?
5073Belle Aire? 5073 Buster?"
5073But do n''t you think this is a case for a-- a doctor, rather than a detective?
5073But how about the treasure?
5073But how do you suppose it was possible for anyone to administer it? 5073 But the letter?"
5073But the pipes are of lead, are they not?
5073But the struggle here, the sleeve of the dress, the pistol-- could he have been shot?
5073But this Aquaero-- who is he?
5073But who would do it?
5073But you must have read of the famous Moulton diamonds?
5073But--?
5073By the way,he said, breaking off naturally,"what is that?"
5073By the way,she asked anxiously,"do you think there are any precautions that I should take for Mrs. Blake-- and the rest?"
5073By what?
5073Ca n''t they find out by-- er, interference?
5073Can people affect you for good or evil, merely by thinking about you?
5073Can you arrange to spend the week- end with me at Stuyvesant Verplanck''s at Bluffwood?
5073Can you guess who that was?
5073Can you repeat these numbers after me?
5073Capper?
5073Carter-- Wickham-- Australia Mac?
5073Cocaine?
5073Could n''t get it?
5073Could one always be true to oneself in the face of any temptation?
5073Could you get us-- initiated?
5073Craig,I remarked contemplatively, after a while,"how about Atherton himself?
5073Did anything happen to him? 5073 Did auto- suggestion, self- hypnotism explain what I have seen?
5073Did he call-- er-- yesterday?
5073Did he swallow it-- necessarily?
5073Did n''t you know-- he-- came back from Vera Cruz yesterday?
5073Did the intruder get anything?
5073Did you ever hear of coating the skin by a substance which is impervious to water, smooth and elastic?
5073Did you notice how that diamond in her neck sparkled?
5073Did you see anyone in the museum who looked suspicious?
5073Did you see him go?
5073Did you want to get rid of him?
5073Do n''t you begin to see the scheme? 5073 Do n''t you understand?"
5073Do you feel any better?
5073Do you know anything about this Australia Mac?
5073Do you remember seeing Northrop here yesterday afternoon?
5073Do you see that?
5073Do you smell the odor in this room? 5073 Do you suppose there is anything significant in that?"
5073Do you think I''d keep dynamite, even in the safe?
5073Do you think he robbed himself?
5073Do you think radium could have had anything to do with that?
5073Do you think she has run away?
5073Do?
5073Does Haughton know of this note?
5073Does Moulton play?
5073Does Mrs. Hazleton know of-- of his reputed intimacy?
5073Does he know? 5073 Does she get along badly with Edith?
5073Does there seem to be any immediate danger?
5073Done?
5073Dr. Bryant,she appealed,"is he-- is he, really-- so badly?"
5073Dr. Hopf? 5073 Dr. Maudsley is your family physician?"
5073Dr. Maudsley,Craig added, dropping his voice,"is Morton III the son of Millicent Hazleton or not?
5073Er-- yes,I stammered in surprise at seeing him so unexpectedly,"but where did you come from?
5073Felicie,called a rather nervous voice from the second floor,"is it some one from the company?"
5073Fireworks?
5073Food?
5073For God''s sake, Kennedy,shouted a voice at the street door,"what are you doing here?"
5073For the sake of-- that baby-- would she-- would she forgive?
5073For which the latest thing is the radium water cure, I suppose?
5073Gone?
5073Gossip?
5073Had he any visitors during the day?
5073Had there been anything that would foreshadow the-- er-- disappearance?
5073Happy dust?
5073Has Dr. Wilson been here this morning?
5073Has anything else happened?
5073Has anything new developed?
5073Has that been the effect of our story, Walter? 5073 Have any of the plans been carried out yet?"
5073Have n''t they taken Minturn''s body away?
5073Have there been any threatening letters?
5073Have they a sufficient value, even on appreciative Fifth Avenue, to warrant murder?
5073Have they found out yet?
5073Have you any clue to the cause of her death?
5073Have you any idea how the lead poisoning could have been caused?
5073Have you any idea what it can be?
5073Have you any idea?
5073Have you any of the letters that Archer wrote home?
5073Have you heard the news?
5073Have you made any progress?
5073Hello, O''Connor,I heard Kennedy say;"you read that story in the Star this morning about the drug fiends at that Broadway cabaret?
5073Hour after hour, Rapport and the rest repeated over and over again,''Why does not some one kill him? 5073 How about that bandage about Haughton''s neck?"
5073How about the letters?
5073How about the windows?
5073How are the signals given?
5073How could it have been introduced?
5073How did it happen?
5073How did the Lucie come to be equipped with wireless?
5073How did you come to use it first?
5073How did you discover it?
5073How did you discover it?
5073How did you know? 5073 How do they take them?
5073How do you feel, this morning?
5073How does it work?
5073How is it?
5073How is she to- day?
5073How is she?
5073How long since society took you up?
5073How much is in it?
5073How should I know?
5073How should I know?
5073How were you to-- reach the Baron?
5073How would Rapport use the death thought, I wonder?
5073How-- where?
5073How?
5073How?
5073How?
5073I could n''t get it all, but I did hear her repeating over and over to Hazleton,''Are n''t you all mine? 5073 I guessed as much,"remarked Kennedy,"but how does she get it here?"
5073I had hoped so,remarked Kennedy,"Do you know the woman?"
5073I may keep these?
5073I presume you carry burglary insurance?
5073I suppose you are more or less familiar with what Northrop brought back?
5073I suppose you have heard of the''billionaire baby,''Morton Hazleton III?
5073I suppose you have heard of this rumor from London of a trust that is going into the radium field internationally?
5073I suppose you have no idea what Dr. Maudsley has prescribed for her?
5073I wonder if I could see her?
5073I wonder whether the lead lining fits closely to the steel?
5073In the dream? 5073 In the paper this morning?
5073In the woods?
5073In your dream when Dr. Maudsley appeared,asked Kennedy, evidently interested in filling in the gap,"what did he do?"
5073Indeed?
5073Indeed?
5073Indeed?
5073Ions?
5073Is Mrs. Blake stricken now by the same trouble that seems to have affected Buster?
5073Is he a frequent visitor?
5073Is he much of a player?
5073Is he trying to hide something?
5073Is it the curse that she dreaded?
5073Is that all?
5073Is the habit so extensive?
5073Is there a gang operating?
5073Is there anything besides your dream that alarms you,he asked, changing the subject quickly,"any suspicion of-- say the servants?"
5073Is this Professor Kennedy?
5073Is this another of those radium safes?
5073Is this the German embassy in Washington?
5073Is-- he-- all right?
5073It is not a very modern safe, is it?
5073Jermyn? 5073 Just a moment, Hartley,"she answered, then, lower to her mother, added,"I do n''t think it can do any harm, do you, mother?"
5073Just what is an electro- magnetic gun?
5073Just what is it you fear?
5073Kennedy,he blurted out in a tone of suppressed excitement,"can I trust you to keep a big secret?"
5073Know her?
5073Lead?
5073Like what?
5073Lloyd''s?
5073May I have a glass of water?
5073May I see it?
5073May I see the bath?
5073Might I see your jewel case?
5073Might we go over with you now? 5073 Minturn-- dead?"
5073Miss Lowe,he said, catching her eye and holding it almost hypnotically,"why have you come to see me?"
5073Miss Sears,asked her mistress,"will you get Buster, please?"
5073Mold?
5073More''happy dust''?
5073Mrs. Lynn Moulton, for instance?
5073Mrs. Lynn Moulton?
5073Mrs. Moulton,he said slowly, rising and handing it back to her,"have you told me all?"
5073Mrs. Sutphen? 5073 Muller?"
5073Mummery?
5073No bad news from Mitla, I hope?
5073No epilepsy, no insanity of any form?
5073Nothing?
5073Now, for example,went on Craig,"how would you advise him to marry?"
5073Now, if I may see Morton?
5073Now, why was Mrs. Sutphen there?
5073Oh, Mr. Kennedy,he exclaimed,"who now will come to my baths?
5073Oh, ca n''t you understand yet?
5073Oh, ca n''t you understand?
5073Oh, then you have actually already acted on the hint in the letter?
5073Other man-- Otaka? 5073 Over what?"
5073Persecuting her?
5073Poisoning?
5073Poker?
5073Poor mother,he remarked anxiously,"do you think she will pull through, Professor?
5073Professor Kennedy?
5073Read?
5073Really,he answered,"you see how impossible it is for me to have an opinion?
5073Say,exclaimed one of the men,"what''s the matter?
5073Seems purposeless, insane, does n''t it?
5073She had a doctor, I suppose?
5073She had n''t been feeling well for several days, had she?
5073She told nothing of herself?
5073She''s getting the stuff now?
5073So,Craig exclaimed,"you are the-- the air pirate?"
5073Some gentlemen from the company? 5073 Still,"considered Kennedy,"there might have been something latent in her family germ plasm back of the time through which you could trace it?"
5073Strange how some of these waiters grow rich?
5073Sulphate of strychnine?
5073Suppose we go in my little runabout, the Streamline II? 5073 Suppose you could n''t get it, what then?"
5073Tell me,she said eagerly,"how did Mr. Minturn die?
5073Tell me-- have you and this other woman met the Baron yet? 5073 That''s what they mean by stray or vagabond currents, is n''t it?"
5073The Baron?
5073The Bowery?
5073The Schofields come of good stock?
5073The actress and professional beauty? 5073 The body has been removed?"
5073The door was locked?
5073The leader?
5073The pneumogastric nerves?
5073The point is, then,ruminated Kennedy,"what happened in the interval between the ringing of the alarm and the arrival of the special officers?
5073The stones were unset?
5073Then I-- I failed?
5073Then it is the alpha rays with which we are concerned mostly now?
5073Then it was for medical treatment that Mr. Minturn was taking the bath?
5073Then there were no recessive traits in her family,asked Kennedy quickly,"of the same sort that you find in the Athertons?"
5073Then what is it?
5073Then you do n''t know the gossip?
5073Then you do not feel like continuing the tests we abandoned last night?
5073Then you have refused to go into the combine? 5073 Then you have suspicions of something worse?"
5073Then you think he may be right?
5073Then,I put in,"the toxin was produced by germs, after all?"
5073There had been no sound-- no cry to alarm you?
5073They will?
5073To whom?
5073Toe- prints?
5073Treasure?
5073WAS it a snake bite?
5073Warner Pearcy?
5073Was I in time? 5073 Was Northrop in his room while these people were here?"
5073Was he here last night?
5073Was it Wickham-- or intended for Wickham?
5073Was it drowning that caused her death?
5073Well,he asked,"what do you think of it, now?"
5073Well?
5073Well?
5073Well?
5073Were-- were there any germs in the letter?
5073Wh-- where did you get so much of it?
5073What Baron?
5073What are ions?
5073What are they?
5073What are you doing in this case?
5073What are you doing?
5073What are you looking for?
5073What can be the matter?
5073What did he say?
5073What did he say?
5073What did she look like?
5073What did they do?
5073What did you conclude, then, was the explanation of what you saw last night?
5073What did you do?
5073What did you make of it?
5073What do you call it?
5073What do you find?
5073What do you intend doing?
5073What do you know of these anarchists?
5073What do you make of THAT?
5073What do you make of her?
5073What do you make of it?
5073What do you mean, for instance?
5073What do you mean?
5073What do you mean?
5073What do you mean?
5073What do you propose to do about it?
5073What do you suppose it is?
5073What do you think it is?
5073What do you think of Verplanck?
5073What does it mean when the leaves collapse?
5073What does she say?
5073What does that mean?
5073What has Lloyd''s to do with the billion- dollar baby?
5073What has happened?
5073What has happened?
5073What has happened?
5073What has happened?
5073What have you discovered?
5073What have you found?
5073What is at five hundred and one East Fifth?
5073What is it then?
5073What is it you are planning?
5073What is it, Sam?
5073What is it-- strychnine?
5073What is it-- that light again?
5073What is it-- what have you found?
5073What is it?
5073What is it?
5073What is it?
5073What is it?
5073What is it?
5073What is it?
5073What is it?
5073What is it?
5073What is it?
5073What is it?
5073What is it?
5073What is it?
5073What is it?
5073What is it?
5073What is it?
5073What is that?
5073What is that?
5073What is that?
5073What is the date set?
5073What is the street address of Bleecker, 7180?
5073What is this treatment of lead poisoning by electrolysis?
5073What is this?
5073What is to be the method, do you suppose?
5073What is your theory?
5073What luck?
5073What makes it?
5073What message are you sending him?
5073What message did you send?
5073What object can such a man as Dr. Vaughn possibly have in frequenting such a place?
5073What of that?
5073What seems to be the trouble?
5073What shall I do?
5073What shall I do?
5073What shall we do?
5073What was all that rigmarole?
5073What was that for?
5073What was the poison?
5073What was the purpose of all that elaborate mummery out at the Red Lodge?
5073What was the use?
5073What were those little cuts?
5073What would you suggest?
5073What''s the matter?
5073What''s the matter?
5073What''s the matter?
5073What''s the matter?
5073What''s the matter?
5073What''s the matter?
5073What''s this?
5073What''s your opinion?
5073What-- closed up yet-- Joe?
5073What-- no test-- NONE?
5073What?
5073What?
5073Where can I find Halsey Haughton at this hour?
5073Where did it come from?
5073Where is he?
5073Where is she?
5073Where is the headquarters of the inner circle?
5073Where shall I go?
5073Where was the last attempt?
5073Where''s Duncan?
5073Where''s Muller?
5073Where?
5073Where?
5073Where?
5073Where?
5073Which is true? 5073 Which means-- in this case?"
5073Who are the other leaders?
5073Who are these?
5073Who blew the whistle?
5073Who dropped it?
5073Who enters the Red Lodge?
5073Who is her physician?
5073Who is in the next room?
5073Who is it, mother?
5073Who operates it?
5073Who was that young man in the music room?
5073Who wrote it? 5073 Who?"
5073Who?
5073Who?
5073Why did n''t you say anything about the letter to him?
5073Why did she need money so badly?
5073Why do you suspect them?
5073Why do you think it affects each so differently?
5073Why should anyone want to steal tablets of old Mixtec inscriptions?
5073Why that?
5073Why, Miss-- er-- Miss-- my dear young lady-- what''s the matter?
5073Why, since we should be the principal competitors to the foreign mines, could n''t this robbery have been due to the machinations of these schemers? 5073 Why?"
5073Why?
5073Will it never stop? 5073 Will the gentlemen drink a little sake?"
5073Will you ask her if I may?
5073Will you get it for me? 5073 With the money?"
5073Would n''t that account for her fears?
5073Would you like to relax your mind by a little excursion among the curio shops of the city? 5073 Would you like to run down there in the Streamline?"
5073Would you mind waiting in this little dressing room?
5073YOU commit a murder?
5073Yes, I know,responded Mrs. Blake anxiously,"but is it true?"
5073Yes, yes,he encouraged,"but who is the other woman?"
5073Yes,I objected,"but how about those in the comb?"
5073Yes,encouraged Craig,"what can I do for you?"
5073Yes?
5073Yes?
5073Yes?
5073You are acquainted with the latest treatment for lead poisoning by means of the electric bath?
5073You are not coming aboard?
5073You can use that?
5073You did n''t know before that Antoinette Moulton, like many of her friends in the smart set, was a gambler-- and loser-- did you?
5073You do n''t think she''s a dope fiend herself, do you?
5073You do not know yourself of any reason why she should fear anything, do you?
5073You drink the water from the tap?
5073You have been Mrs. Edwards''physician for some time, I believe?
5073You have been with her several days, though, have n''t you?
5073You have had no word about your car?
5073You have heard of the so- called''phantom bandit''of Bluffwood, have n''t you?
5073You have heard of the thyroid gland in the neck?
5073You have looked it up?
5073You have n''t a wireless on the Nautilus, have you?
5073You have n''t found out yet what it is, then?
5073You have n''t heard of the Red Lodge?
5073You have n''t heard, then?
5073You have n''t told anyone?
5073You have no idea, I suppose, of anything that was weighing on his mind?
5073You have not been robbed yourself?
5073You have not the combination?
5073You have seen the safe in there?
5073You heard nothing?
5073You here?
5073You know Burroughs Atherton on both lines of descent?
5073You know him pretty well?
5073You know him?
5073You know, I suppose,added Denison,"that he is engaged to Felicie Woods, the daughter of Mrs. Courtney Woods?"
5073You lost nothing?
5073You mean, may the whole trouble lie with him?
5073You remember the light? 5073 You say that Miss Verrall and her mother have gone back to the city?"
5073You see that?
5073You think Dr. Rae Wilson knows nothing of it yet?
5073You think that the suspicions I had have been justified?
5073You were blackmailed out of the money?
5073You would recognize some of them if you saw them?
5073You''re sure it is all right?
5073You''re sure it is all right?
5073You-- you do n''t think it is serious?
5073You-- you wo n''t hurt Buster?
5073Your brother is not at home?
5073Your wife thinks it is Burroughs who is persecuting her?
5073''Ca n''t you do something?''
5073''Can I trust you?''
5073About those words,"he continued,"what did you make of the list and the answers?"
5073And, Jameson-- you''ll tone down that part of it in the newspapers that Junior-- might read-- when he grows up?"
5073And,"he would add with the tradesman''s idea of humor,"I guess he has enough to play a game of poker-- eh?"
5073Annenberg?"
5073Are n''t you all mine?''
5073Are you going to leave Armand?"
5073As for Vaughn, was he trying to hide behind some technicality in medical ethics?
5073As for accident, why should a person fall overboard from a large houseboat into a perfectly calm harbor?
5073Atherton?"
5073Atherton?"
5073But by what?
5073But how did he get in?
5073But is there none left?
5073But"--rman"--what did that mean?
5073By the way, Pedersen, are you the only person aboard who can operate this?"
5073By the way, as our interview may last a few minutes, would you mind sitting down?
5073CHAPTER II THE ELECTRO- MAGNETIC GUN"What shall we do?"
5073Ca n''t you-- can''t you find my necklace?"
5073Can you DO something?"
5073Can you come along?"
5073Can you give us a line?"
5073Can you help me?"
5073Can you let me have a sample?"
5073Can you tell me what number that was which just called?"
5073Car or boat?"
5073Could it be Herman-- Herman Schloss?
5073Could it have been a light on the mast of a boat moving rapidly up the bay and perhaps nearer to us than we suspected?
5073Could it have been a signal to some one on this side of the bay, a signal light in the woods?"
5073Could it have been that she had really been bitten at some of the orgies by the serpent which they worshiped hideously hissing in its cage?
5073Could we prevent it?
5073Could you get us into the inner circle, Miss Lowe?"
5073Did he know something else already, and did she know he knew?
5073Did his discovery portend something diabolical, or was it purely a defect in nature which Dr. Crafts of the Eugenics Bureau had overlooked?
5073Did she know something about the case, I wondered?
5073Did they know about the letter, after all, I wondered?
5073Did you know he was ill?"
5073Did you notice Veronica Haversham''s yellowish whiteness, her down- drawn mouth, elevated eyebrows, and contracted eyes?
5073Did you notice the size?
5073Disappeared?
5073Do n''t you see?
5073Do n''t you understand?
5073Do you know anything about it?"
5073Do you want to show it to him?"
5073Edwards?"
5073Escaped?"
5073Had Minturn, I wondered, known the name of the real criminal?
5073Had Mrs. Moulton robbed the safe herself, or hired some one else to do it for her, and had that person gone back on her?
5073Had he smoked it?"
5073Had her desperate love for Hazleton produced a hallucination?
5073Had the events of the past few days worked on her mind and driven her into temporary insanity?
5073Had the murderer used the safest of poisons-- one that left no clue?
5073Halsey Haughton suffering from cancer?
5073Has Veda Blair been driven almost to death by her own fears only?"
5073Have they done anything yet to the Baron?"
5073Have you tested for the ordinary poisons?"
5073Hazleton?"
5073He had it as he went on:"Do we not brew within ourselves poisons which enter the circulation and pervade the system?
5073He is in the gravest danger if he-- What?
5073He left last night at midnight and is already here?"
5073Hello-- what''s this?"
5073Hollingsworth?"
5073Hopf?"
5073Hopf?"
5073Hopf?"
5073Hopf?"
5073How about that?"
5073How can it be done?"
5073How could she ever be stopped?
5073How did Minturn die?
5073How did he look?"
5073How did you know?"
5073How far has it gone?"
5073How was Fortescue discovered, Burke?"
5073I asked airily, adding,"Is it a large house party you are getting up?"
5073I believe it is rumored that your father suffered from lead poisoning?"
5073I knew that if Hazleton with his infatuation of her were to learn---""And Mrs. Hazleton, has she been told?"
5073I saw Kennedy check a motion of surprise and came to the rescue with the natural question:"His wife-- with a beard and mustache?"
5073I''ll pick you up anywhere between this and the Bridge-- how about Columbus Circle in half an hour?"
5073If the story had been told to Hazleton, what might he not have already done?
5073In other words, does she, did she, ever love him?
5073Inside was a beautiful little"Peke,"and it was easy to see that Buster was indeed ill."Who is your doctor?"
5073Is he really free from the-- er-- stigmata, I suppose you call them, of insanity?"
5073Is he?"
5073Is n''t it possible that it might hit some one somewhere who was susceptible?"
5073Is that all right?"
5073Is there a road over there, above the Carter house?"
5073Is-- is it true-- what this man-- says?
5073It must be a boy-- and an ATHERTON?"
5073Kennedy did not dwell on the contradiction, but added,"And the crowd?"
5073Klemm''s Sanitarium?
5073May I trouble you to place your fingers on this paper-- so?"
5073May I?"
5073Might I ask exactly what it is you fear in your dreams?"
5073Might he not be playing a game with the combination in which he had protected himself so that he would win, no matter what happened?
5073Might not some trusted employee return to the office, open it, give the proper signals and loot the safe?"
5073Might not that explain the lack of finger prints also?"
5073Might not this be, instead of cancer, a radium burn?
5073Might we see Mr. Haughton for a moment?
5073Moulton?"
5073Northrop?"
5073Now if-- say Hazleton-- should call-- will you listen in on that vocaphone for me?"
5073Now, is it overfunction of the glands, hyper- secretion-- or is it something else?"
5073Or had the blackmailing gang of automobile thieves, failing in extorting money by their original plan, seized her?
5073Or were there other marks on his body which we could not see?
5073Our knowledge seems new, but is it?
5073Perhaps, why certainly, you must know him-- Annenberg, an instructor in economics now at the University?"
5073Really?"
5073See those shoe- prints up to this point?
5073She knows her I presume?"
5073She may at this moment be anchored off some exclusive yacht club, flying the respectable burgee of the club-- who knows?"
5073Slowly, a strange mephitic vapor seemed to exhale into the room-- or was it my heightened imagination?
5073That is the case you''re going to write up, is n''t it?"
5073That''s enough, is n''t it?"
5073The question is, to my mind, who is this fence?"
5073There are a certain number of isolated ladies and gentlemen-- dissociated ions--""Who do n''t know these new dances?"
5073They must be turned into currency-- or what''s the use of robbery?
5073Vaughn?"
5073Walter, attend to that, will you?
5073Was Muller the"fence"we were seeking, or only a tool for the"fence"higher up?
5073Was each concealing something?
5073Was each in doubt about just how much the other knew?
5073Was each suspicious of the other?
5073Was he alone?
5073Was he dead when he was discovered?"
5073Was he, too, overcome?
5073Was it Mrs. Langhorne who had been the disturbing influence, whose power she feared, over herself and over her husband?
5073Was it an atavistic joy in the horrible or was it merely a blasphemous curiosity?
5073Was it hypnotism?
5073Was it in its worship of the root of all evil that it had fallen?
5073Was it not a recognition of his hypnotic power?
5073Was it the product of her drug- disordered brain?
5073Was she insane?
5073Was she really to be the Lady Madeline in this fall of the House of Atherton?
5073Was she talking of the blackmailer, Dr. Hopf?
5073Was that her philosophy of life?
5073Was that the interpretation of the almost hypnotized look on Blair''s face?
5073Was the criminal higher up to escape because one of his tools had been cornered and had taken the easiest way to get out?
5073Was the mark hidden by the bandage about Haughton''s neck the brand of the stolen tubes?
5073Was there in it, I wondered, an element of fear lest if she refused to talk suspicion might grow even greater?
5073Was there such a cult here in my own city?
5073Was there, I asked myself, sufficient reason for suicide?
5073Was there, indeed, no test?
5073We were to see him to- night-- a quiet dinner, after an automobile ride up the Hudson--""Both of you?"
5073Were they merely good actors?
5073Were those letters that were stolen from you the only ones you had in the safe?"
5073What are you going to do to protect the safe to- night?"
5073What can a rich society woman have to do with a place like that or a man like Schloss?"
5073What did it mean?
5073What did it mean?
5073What did she mean?
5073What did you find, Doctor?"
5073What did you mean by Jermyn?"
5073What do they really think of it in New York?"
5073What do you make of it?"
5073What do you think of it?"
5073What had been done with the plans?
5073What happened?"
5073What happens to the dissociated ions?"
5073What have you found out by studying Buster?"
5073What if she died?
5073What is it like?"
5073What is the matter?"
5073What terrible power was it?
5073What to do?
5073What was cleverer, you said to yourself, than to seem to be robbed of what you never had, to blame it on a bitter rival who never existed?
5073What was he doing?
5073What was it she saw?
5073What was it that held me?
5073What was it?
5073What was the first question you asked me?
5073What was this fearsome, cruel belief, this modern witchcraft that could unnerve a rich and educated woman?
5073What was this, I asked myself breathlessly-- a new transcendental toxicology?
5073What was to be done?
5073What were the possibilities of blackmail in the right sort of evidence?
5073What''s Kennedy doing-- anything?"
5073What''s the effect?"
5073What''s the matter?"
5073What-- gone?
5073Where are the gold and silver of the conquistadores?
5073Where are you sending the boys-- to the Longacre?"
5073Which would win-- the old fascination of the occult or the new power of science?
5073Who could it be?
5073Who could it have been who bore the tell- tale burn?
5073Who received it?"
5073Who was it?
5073Who was it?
5073Who was the mysterious Mexican woman, who the shaggy Russian?
5073Who was the person, the only one who could have done it?
5073Who was this Stein?
5073Whose?
5073Why do you ask?"
5073Why does he not die?''
5073Why, Monsieur?"
5073Why-- didn''t you-- get away-- while there was time-- after you warned me?"
5073Why-- what''s the matter?
5073Why?"
5073Will no one stop it?
5073Will you promise not to stay long?
5073Will you see that Buster is sent up to my laboratory immediately?"
5073Would Craig leave him in there, perhaps to die?
5073Would it succeed?
5073Would she stop at anything if she feared the loss of her favorite drug?
5073Would the mere accusation be enough to dissociate the truth from, that brain or would Kennedy have to resort to other means?
5073Would those people who seem to be trying to extend their new company all over the world stop at anything in order to cripple us at the start?"
5073Would you like to remain here?
5073Yes?
5073Yes?
5073Yet how were we to get to him?
5073Yet what could we do, marooned on the other side of the bay?
5073Yet what possible object could she have had in putting the Streamline out of commission?
5073You are from the company?"
5073You can trust Armand?"
5073You do n''t know anything more about the robbery?"
5073You do n''t mind going over and then back?"
5073You have n''t taken that up yet?"
5073You have read of the case?"
5073You know Miss Haversham, Veronica Haversham?"
5073You know the place?"
5073You know who is backing it?"
5073You mean his wife?"
5073You mean one which he must bear on himself?"
5073You say her face was hidden?"
5073You see those weak and wobbly rays that seem to fall to one side?
5073You see what I am driving at?
5073You understand what I am up against?"
5073asked Kennedy, looking up from a test tube which he had been examining, with an air for all the world expressive of"Why so hot, little man?"
5073asked Kennedy,"the''will of the Lodge''?"
5073she repeated, then smiling to herself as people will when they are leaving the borderline of anesthesia, she repeated the name,"Hopf?"
55795A murderess?
55795Ah,said Haskins, surprised,"then you love Rebb?"
55795Am I charming, Gerald; am I? 55795 Am I the fairy prince?"
55795An offer?
55795Ancient history-- ancient history,roared Macandrew, like an angry bull,"but your advice, Jerry?"
55795And Geary?
55795And Major Rebb? 55795 And for that reason she has not been taught to read or write?"
55795And his wife?
55795And how do you know?
55795And if he did?
55795And this is love?
55795And to help her against her enemies?
55795And what then?
55795And why can not you get that?
55795And would have passed her honeymoon in prison?
55795And you believe that Geary is innocent also? 55795 And you believed so ridiculous a story?"
55795And you can not read or write?
55795And you do n''t believe that I am guilty?
55795And you intend to tell Major Rebb?
55795And you like the river, sah?
55795And you paid for it out of Mavis''money?
55795And you parted amiably, I hope?
55795And you said nothing of the other twin?
55795And you searched in Somerset House?
55795And your attitude?
55795Are you a fool to talk like this?
55795Are you going to accuse me?
55795Are you going to accuse me?
55795Are you making a fool of me? 55795 Are you not afraid of my poisoning you?"
55795Are you sane yourself?
55795Are you serious?
55795Are you speaking of me?
55795Are you?
55795Arnold? 55795 As Mrs. Crosbie is engaged to Rebb, she will not wish him to lose his income, so----""Do you think she knows of Rebb''s position?"
55795As a lunatic?
55795As a pensioner of Major Rebb''s, I suppose?
55795Because I love your ward?
55795But Bellaria was afraid of that coral hand, which symbolized-- now then, Mrs. Crosbie, what did it symbolize?
55795But I thought that both Mrs. Berch and her daughter were well off?
55795But are you serious?
55795But how can we get a parent machine? 55795 But if Bellaria sees me from a window?"
55795But if he hears that she is accused of murder-- it will be all over Exeter to- morrow?
55795But is this Mavis Durham really so like my girl?
55795But tell me, Mavis, who killed that poor Bellaria?
55795But the corpse? 55795 But this wall, Morgan?
55795But where can I look?
55795But why bother about the hymns?
55795But why must you go?
55795Can I come to supper?
55795Can not I come?
55795Can not we arrange this matter quietly?
55795Can we?
55795Can you prove this?
55795Conspiracy? 55795 Could Signor Venosta tell you?"
55795Delighted to see you, Mrs. Berch,said Haskins, wondering why she had come,"wo n''t you sit down?"
55795Did Madge tell you what I came to see her about?
55795Did n''t the Major tell you that he had found Bellaria stabbed?
55795Did n''t the woman tell you where she got the child?
55795Did n''t your mother tell you what I said about Bellaria and that coral hand which I found in your cigarette- case?
55795Did not an emissary of the Tána Society kill her?
55795Did she know about the society?
55795Did she speak?
55795Did this Italian Jew from Naples say anything?
55795Did you aid the quarrel?
55795Did you come here to preach platitudes?
55795Did you know what she feared?
55795Did you see the letter?
55795Do n''t you remember how Mrs. Geary said that if Mavis left the Pixy''s House the Major would not be able to dash about in his motor car?
55795Do you agree to this?
55795Do you believe this of your mother''s friend, Gerald?
55795Do you ever feel dizzy?
55795Do you ever get into a rage and want to strike Bellaria?
55795Do you ever hope to learn about her parents?
55795Do you indeed?
55795Do you know anything of this murder?
55795Do you know my guardian?
55795Do you know why she was afraid?
55795Do you mean that we must part?
55795Do you mean the phonograph record which Mavis sent me?
55795Do you mean to say that this lady is Mavis Durham?
55795Do you mean to say that we can marry?
55795Do you mean your love- making?
55795Do you really believe this?
55795Do you recognize this?
55795Do you still wish me to go?
55795Do you take me for a schoolgirl? 55795 Does he know that it is Geary''s?"
55795Does he strike you?
55795Does n''t Major Rebb?
55795Does that mean Rebb is guilty?
55795Does the house belong to Major Rebb?
55795Does what I say need explanation?
55795Even by the law?
55795Even now?
55795Followed where?
55795For how long-- for how long?
55795For you to accuse her when she is found? 55795 From me?"
55795From what?
55795Geary-- that terrible Uncle Tom''s Cabin person?
55795Gone?
55795Good heavens, what are you doing here?
55795Had we not better get to business?
55795Has Miss Durham any money?
55795Has he proved himself kind, to accuse you of murdering Bellaria?
55795Has she more than one then, Mavis?
55795Has she not told you?
55795Has what you have to say anything to do with those ladies?
55795Have n''t you forgotten her yet?
55795Have they found the knife?
55795Have you any cards?
55795Have you any reason to think she is alive, sir?
55795Have you been down here before then?
55795Have you ever seen Miss Durham?
55795Have you had a quarrel?
55795Hello, Adonis, is that you?
55795His brother officer?
55795How are you, Gerald?
55795How are you, Haskins?
55795How can I be more careful than I am?
55795How can I marry her?
55795How can you expect him to,said Mrs. Crosbie petulantly,"when you accuse him of shutting up that girl unjustly?
55795How can you prove that my wife is mad?
55795How can you when-- according to your message-- you are unable to read?
55795How could you tell that?
55795How dare you say that when you know perfectly well that Mavis is innocent?
55795How dare you stand there and insult me, Gerald? 55795 How did Major Rebb know that I was in Devonshire?"
55795How did you come to be talking of Major Rebb?
55795How did you find out?
55795How do you know that I dare not venture out after dark?
55795How do you know that I was a singer?
55795How do you know that much even?
55795How do you know?
55795How do you know?
55795How should I know? 55795 Howling fun in a country town?
55795I believe that you are jealous,she said, with a nervous laugh,"well, and how does your secret affect the Major?"
55795I do n''t see why you should do that?
55795I hope you enjoyed yourselves at Bognor?
55795I see: you present yourself to Miss Bird as a desirable gift?
55795I shall be sorry to lose you, sah?
55795I''m only too glad: but how?
55795I? 55795 If I had would I ask you?"
55795If I were, would I confess my midnight journey to you?
55795If he comes to the theatre?
55795If he did, what then? 55795 If so, why should I shut her up?"
55795If who knew?
55795If you can,said Morgan, finding his tongue,"why should your daughter say that she would have saved you if she could?"
55795In connection with this murder?
55795In the first place, Tod,he said impatiently,"what took you and Arnold to Belldown?"
55795In what direction?
55795In what way?
55795In what way?
55795In what way?
55795Indeed, Haskins, then who is guilty?
55795Indeed, and on what grounds?
55795Is Major Rebb in?
55795Is Major Rebb there now?
55795Is it for that horrid money Schaibar told me about?
55795Is it money?
55795Is it now?
55795Is she accused?
55795Is that all?
55795Is this all you have to tell me?
55795Is this girl pretty?
55795Is this true?
55795Is this your writing, madam?
55795It would be, if you did not chatter,retorted the other, fixing a fly on his line;"why do you desecrate this beauty with slang?"
55795James Ian Robert Roy Macandrew, are you or are you not my legal adviser?
55795Just what I want to hear,said Gerald untruthfully,"but what on earth made you get a phonograph?"
55795Mad? 55795 Major Rebb?"
55795Married? 55795 Mavis does, but----""Then it is true, what she confessed to me: that you love her and she loves you?"
55795Mavis knows nothing, nothing, do you hear? 55795 May I ask how you know all this, sir?"
55795May I ask who you are, sir?
55795Meaning Major Rebb?
55795Miss Bird is not going to marry that Macandrew fellow, I hope?
55795N----o,drawled Macandrew, his eye on the blotting- paper,"you say that this girl is like Charity?"
55795Native? 55795 No,"said Mrs. Crosbie firmly,"how can you expect me to help you against Major Rebb, when we are engaged to be married?
55795Not Geary?
55795Nothing in the papers?
55795Now how should I know anything when you have exonerated me from complicity in her flight?
55795Oh yes, sir, do n''t you know?
55795Oh, but, Gerald, surely my guardian is kind?
55795Oh, do n''t I? 55795 Oh, guardian,"she wailed,"how can you say that of me when I was so fond of you?"
55795Oh, of course you would, being in love,said Mrs. Crosbie, with a shrug,"but, if she is innocent, who is guilty?
55795Oh, signor, how are you to- day? 55795 Oh, so she had been here before?"
55795Oh, the Pixy''s House,said Haskins carelessly,"what''s that?"
55795Oh, you are trying to keep up that fiction also?
55795Oh,Mavis stretched out her arms langorously,"how can I live through seven days without you?"
55795Oh,she panted, nestling to his heart,"what does this mean?"
55795On nothing?
55795On what grounds do you accuse my daughter?
55795On what grounds? 55795 Outside, if you say anything, I shall deny all, and who will believe you, Haskins?
55795Schaibar?
55795She alive?
55795She will never know?
55795So I should think, when the mere wish to give him information makes you risk----"Risk what? 55795 So both the sisters are married?"
55795So you have come at last?
55795So you went to the Pixy''s House?
55795So you_ did_ know that the Major''s income depended upon Mavis being prevented, even by the murder of Bellaria, from marrying?
55795Still if he had reasons-- good reasons?
55795The Tána Society?
55795The Tána Society?
55795The wills? 55795 Then I am to understand that, if I marry Mavis, Major Rebb loses six thousand a year?"
55795Then I was right?
55795Then Mr. Arnold taught her nothing?
55795Then he went immediately after I left?
55795Then how dare you shut her up in this house? 55795 Then how did you recognize them?"
55795Then this young lady was not crazy?
55795Then why does Rebb shut her up?
55795Then why was she shut up?
55795Then why waste my time in asking for advice which you have no notion of taking? 55795 Then you are engaged?"
55795Then you killed the woman?
55795Then you wo n''t help me?
55795There is no one can hear us?
55795This is not Switzerland, is it?
55795To learn what?
55795To stay wid me, sah?
55795To what dastardly deed do you refer?
55795Told me what? 55795 Tána?
55795Understand what?
55795Unless you give Mavis her proper position in the world----"And consent to your marriage with her, I suppose?
55795Unnecessary?
55795Was Bellaria in town?
55795Was it Bellaria being killed?
55795Well, Haskins,he inquired,"and what do you mean to do now?"
55795Well, and did you call at the Pixy''s House?
55795Well, and what happened?
55795Well?
55795What about your confounded fish?
55795What about_ your_ attitude?
55795What am I to do about Charity?
55795What can I do? 55795 What can she say?"
55795What do you know of the Tána Society?
55795What do you mean by that, Gerald?
55795What do you mean by that, Rebb?
55795What do you mean by too late?
55795What do you mean, Mavis?
55795What do you mean, sir?
55795What do you mean? 55795 What do you mean?
55795What do you mean?
55795What do you mean?
55795What do you mean?
55795What do you say now?
55795What do you think of it, Tod?
55795What do you think of it, Toddy?
55795What do you think of it?
55795What do you think of that?
55795What do you wish me to say?
55795What else would you have?
55795What has Mrs. Crosbie to do with this matter?
55795What is Bellaria''s other name?
55795What is it?
55795What is she doing there?
55795What is that to you? 55795 What is that?
55795What is that?
55795What is the lunatic''s name?
55795What is the matter, Madge?
55795What is the matter?
55795What is the name of the Jew?
55795What is your intuition, exactly?
55795What kind of a phonograph is it?
55795What matters?
55795What might you be doing here, sah?
55795What of that? 55795 What of that?
55795What of the Pixy''s House?
55795What the deuce does it mean?
55795What the deuce is it?
55795What then? 55795 What was she afraid of?"
55795What was your will?
55795What will she say when she knows that I have married an heiress and will be able to get back a part of the family estate?
55795What young man?
55795What-- leave Mavis?
55795What? 55795 What?"
55795When you are married, what do you intend to do?
55795When you marry Major Rebb?
55795Where did you learn this?
55795Where did you stop?
55795Where have I heard that word? 55795 Where is his English one?"
55795Where is this Mr. Arnold now?
55795Where?
55795Which one-- the old woman or the young one?
55795Who are_ we?_questioned Rebb scathingly.
55795Who is Bellaria?
55795Who is guilty?
55795Who is he?
55795Who is your guardian?
55795Who killed her?
55795Who may hear?
55795Who says that she is mad?
55795Who told you about the will?
55795Who told you that?
55795Who told you?
55795Who will bring her here?
55795Why did n''t you communicate with me about this will, when you knew how anxious I was?
55795Why did n''t you waken me?
55795Why did you do that?
55795Why did you go at all?
55795Why did you not believe that some emissary of the Tána Society had found out Bellaria''s hiding place and had killed her?
55795Why did you not come out and face me when Mavis talked with me in the garden?
55795Why did you not see Mavis?
55795Why did you not tell me that there was another girl?
55795Why did you not?
55795Why did you talk of these horrors?
55795Why do n''t you pull him up?
55795Why do you ask?
55795Why do you do that?
55795Why do you think that?
55795Why does Rebb keep this girl shut up?
55795Why does the sun shine? 55795 Why fence in this way, Rebb?"
55795Why in heaven''s name should I forget her, you unsympathetic idiot? 55795 Why is he coming?"
55795Why is she kept prisoner?
55795Why not be bold and ask Rebb straight out? 55795 Why not friendship?"
55795Why not here, as well as anywhere else?
55795Why not? 55795 Why not?
55795Why not?
55795Why on earth should you do that?
55795Why should I kill Bellaria?
55795Why should I silence you?
55795Why should I wish to do that, sir?
55795Why should I?
55795Why should n''t this Mr. Haskins come, Bellaria?
55795Why should she not communicate with the world?
55795Why should you think that I have anything to tell?
55795Why the devil do you interfere in my business?
55795Why was the Jew afraid?
55795Why, Nanny? 55795 Why, do you believe that she will be accused?"
55795Why, you know, do n''t you? 55795 Why?
55795Why?
55795Why?
55795Why?
55795Why?
55795Why?
55795Why?
55795Will Mavis dare to face the footlights?
55795Will you assist me, if I do?
55795Will you come back here, sah?
55795With funerals?
55795With you?
55795Wo n''t you sit down also, you two?
55795Would it not be better that she should go abroad?
55795Yes, is n''t it?
55795Yes, of course; what am I thinking about, Haskins? 55795 Yes?"
55795You are quite willing?
55795You are sure that is n''t true?
55795You are sure that she is innocent?
55795You come from Jamaica then?
55795You could not read what he wrote, Mavis?
55795You do n''t object to my smoking, I presume?
55795You have heard no rumor to the effect that Major Rebb is poor, or is likely to lose his money?
55795You have seen him?
55795You hear that, Adonis?
55795You know Adonis then?
55795You know the likeness between the girls?
55795You love me?
55795You mean Venosta?
55795You saved her? 55795 You say that my wife murdered Bellaria?"
55795You told Macandrew something about that?
55795You were here about the time of the murder?
55795You will dare to face the Major?
55795You will keep your promise of silence?
55795You will marry her still?
55795You will speak to Tod and Charity?
55795You wish to see me, sah?
55795You?
55795A grim old lady, ai n''t she?
55795And Miss Mavis lived at the Pixy''s House?"
55795And does all the neighborhood know about Julian Durham''s will?"
55795And how can you ask me to take charge of a girl who is mad?"
55795And indeed why should they, seeing how they had beheld the ballet for more than a hundred nights, and also the dance of Charity Bird?
55795And what better am I?
55795And you will take a revolver with you?"
55795And you, Tod Macandrew?"
55795And you, Toddy?"
55795Anything I can do-- by the way, what am I to do?"
55795Are you not afraid lest I should bring you into court for attacking me?
55795Arnold, who do you think killed Bellaria Dondi?"
55795Arnold?"
55795Arnold?"
55795Arnold?"
55795Arnold?"
55795As to Geary?--do you suspect him?"
55795But Bellaria?"
55795But Major Rebb has been living in those rooms, with his man----""Geary?"
55795But are n''t you pulling my leg when you say that Charity is the image of this Mavis girl?"
55795But do you think it was kind to leave England without seeing me?"
55795But he did not, and who could have told him?
55795But how am I to fix the crime on him?"
55795But on Mavis''twenty- first birthday, Rebb, when she hopes to come out into the world?
55795But what was she doing down hereabouts, when----""When she was supposed to be at Bognor?
55795But why should Mrs. Crosbie possess this coral hand?"
55795But you, Major?
55795By accident or by design?"
55795By the way, can you tell me when this crime was committed?"
55795By the way, how is Mr. Haskins?
55795By the way,"he asked abruptly,"how did you know my name?"
55795Can you find out?"
55795Can you remember ever having a sister, Mavis?"
55795Charity?"
55795Conspiracy, damn you?"
55795Could n''t the will be upset by that, Tod?"
55795Crosbie?"
55795Crosbie?"
55795Did you ever hear of the firm your own conceited self?"
55795Did you show it to the Jew?"
55795Do n''t I look it?"
55795Do n''t you believe it yourself?"
55795Do what I say, and when we learn if there is a will----""Well?"
55795Do you mean to say that Charity has nigger blood?"
55795Do you strike people when you are angry?"
55795Do you think that I am afraid of you or of a dozen like you?
55795For what reason?"
55795Gerald,"she turned to Haskins,"what have you been saying to my daughter?"
55795Gerald?"
55795Has Mrs. Crosbie anything to do with this crime?"
55795Has he got over the death of that crazy girl?"
55795Haskins?"
55795Haskins?"
55795Haskins?"
55795Have one?"
55795Have you any idea of her whereabouts?"
55795He betrayed me, why should I not betray him?"
55795Heavenly, ai n''t it?"
55795How can I,"cried Mrs. Geary, throwing open her arms,"when it is the only thing that makes me able to stand the brute?"
55795How could I, when I knew nothing?
55795How dare you tell my private affairs to my future wife?"
55795How did she manage to hook you?"
55795How is your arm?"
55795How much, cabby?
55795How the dickens could one man knock it down?"
55795How will you restrain her?
55795How?
55795I have often asked, but you never will tell?"
55795I have only to say that I know nothing of her whereabouts, and who can convict me of falsehood?
55795I have your promise to hold your tongue for a month?"
55795I heard a shriek inside the grounds of this house----""And you went to see what it was?"
55795I shall go to Devonshire and interview him, and----""How do you know that he is there?"
55795I suppose you''ll chuck the adventure, now that you know this?"
55795I want money and----""Are you quite sure that Rebb has money?"
55795I went ober de hills for de Major, and I found him coming back----""At what time was that?"
55795If Mavis is not mad, why should her guardian shut her up in a lonely house?"
55795If Miss Durham was shut up here-- and everyone knows that she was strictly guarded on account of her mania-- how came you to see her?"
55795If she did not come down to murder Bellaria, why was she in this neighborhood, and why did she lie to you about Bognor?"
55795If so, who was the guilty person?
55795If you like a person do n''t you kiss her?"
55795In heaven''s name, how should I know?"
55795Is it the badge of any society?"
55795Is n''t it dreadful, sir?
55795Is n''t this the case?"
55795Is that plain enough?"
55795Is this old woman an Italian, Geary?"
55795It sounds quite like''Uncle Tom''s Cabin,''does n''t it?"
55795Jerry, you ai n''t serious?"
55795Keeping the conversation on an ordinary level he inquired:"Why was the cylinder set afloat?"
55795Macandrew?"
55795Macandrew?"
55795Major Rebb, I understand, is in South America?"
55795Major Rebb?"
55795Major Rebb?"
55795Major, am I a fool that you should talk to me in this way?
55795Mavis and Mrs. Pelham Odin are at Southend?"
55795Mavis came from India?"
55795Mrs. Crosbie asked:"What about?"
55795Mrs. Crosby''s mother?"
55795My guardian says that he will take me there some day, and then-- oh, and then, and then, and then----""What then?"
55795No stranger had any reason to murder Bellaria?"
55795Now I suppose you will admit that you have had a lucky escape?"
55795Now, the question was this: Why did Rebb shut up so pretty and unsophisticated a creature in conventual solitude?
55795On what grounds do you say that my wife is crazy?"
55795Our marriages are expensive matters, old boy, are n''t they?"
55795Quite a romance, is n''t it?"
55795Rebb, you say, has six thousand a year?"
55795Risk what?"
55795Say that I did not tell you?
55795Signor Venosta----""Gave you the amulet?
55795Suppose I find nothing?"
55795That''s where Rebb''s wealthy relative lives?"
55795Then there is a will?"
55795Then you did mean something, when you mentioned him last?"
55795Then you think this letter was written by the assassin?
55795Then----""Then?"
55795To depend upon this semi- civilized creature was grasping at a straw, but to whom else could he go for information?
55795Two shillings?
55795Tána!----""But how did you get the coral hand?"
55795Unless what?"
55795Well, Mr. Geary, have you a piano, or a harmonium?"
55795Well, Mrs. Pelham Odin, will you take Mavis to your flat?"
55795Well, what happened?"
55795Well,"she selected another cigarette and became more her bright self, which he knew so well,"so you wish me to help you?"
55795Well?"
55795Well?"
55795Well?"
55795Well?"
55795What about beer?"
55795What are you doing in this galley?"
55795What are you going to do now?"
55795What became of Charity, if you did that?"
55795What better am I?"
55795What do you mean to do about this murder?"
55795What do you mean?"
55795What have you been doing with yourself lately, Gerald?
55795What have you to say?"
55795What is he?"
55795What is it?"
55795What is she to Major Rebb, may I ask?"
55795What is the meaning of the word Tána?"
55795What of that?"
55795What of that?"
55795What of the girl herself?"
55795What reason could he have to shut up a sane girl?"
55795What say you?"
55795What then had become of the famous sacrificial knife, of which Mavis had spoken?
55795What then had become of the yellow- handled knife which Mavis feared so greatly?
55795What then?
55795What will?"
55795What''s that?"
55795What''s to be done?"
55795When are you to be married?"
55795Where did you-- living in this present generation of hurry-- learn such Versailles manners?"
55795Where is this letter?"
55795Where is your amiable smile, Mr. Geary, and your polite manners?
55795Where''s the brandy, Adonis?
55795Who would have thought that the girl would have communicated with the world in that way?"
55795Why are you stationary here of all places?"
55795Why did you not tell me before that my guardian was deceiving me?"
55795Why do you start?"
55795Why does he live here?"
55795Why does the fire burn?
55795Why had she not been taught to read and write?
55795Why not?
55795Why should Geary not have used this when striving to murder Gerald?
55795Why should I?
55795Why should I?"
55795Why should n''t I seek in some Fairy Woods for the Sleeping Beauty?"
55795Why spoil this idyll of lilies by presenting her with the red ripe roses of love?
55795Why was Geary-- as Haskins verily believed,--posted at the Devon Maid to keep his one sinister eye on her?
55795Why was Mavis so similar to Charity in looks?
55795Why, sir, if she is n''t, who can be?
55795Why, then, should she have come to the gate?"
55795Will she be happy then?"
55795Will you have hock or claret?"
55795Will you tell me, Mr. Haskins, how many people you have succeeded in interesting in my private business?"
55795Would I wish to marry her if she were?"
55795Would she have killed Bellaria if sane?"
55795You are in love?"
55795You do n''t ask after Charity?"
55795You know that?"
55795You love me: oh, say that you love me?"
55795asked Gerald again, and taking no notice of the interruption,"have you had her examined by two doctors, according to law?"
55795asked Gerald,"or long ago, when she was a singer, and in love with Enrico Salviati?"
55795cried Bellaria pointing a scornful finger at her host,"would you marry a madwoman?"
55795cried Rebb, who looked horrified,"is this true?"
55795echoed the Major, looking surprised,"when you were meddling with my affairs?
55795said Haskins, apparently careless, but really with anxiety,"so you know of this queer business, Geary?"
55795said Rebb, entering the inn followed by Haskins;"he''s a decent sort, is n''t he?
55795she asked, in her stern, cold voice,"why has Signor Venosta left, and why are you shivering?
55795she said in deep contralto tones,"may I call you-- Prince Gerald?"
55795stormed Rebb, growing darkly red,"is Macandrew in this affair also?
55795then he asked aloud:"How often does your guardian come to you?"
55795they exclaimed, and Tod continued:"What is the use of Charity''s sacrifice if you intend to hand over Mavis to the law?"
55795thought Haskins: but he suppressed the opprobrious name, and merely remarked anxiously:"But you do n''t feel your brain weak?"
55795well,"said Gerald, after a pause,"and what does all this mean?"
55795what is your name?"
55795with scorn,"who''s pedantic now?"
46523''I say, my man, what''s the matter with you?'' 46523 ''Matter?
46523''Tain''t paying very well, I reckon?
46523''What''s that?'' 46523 ''Where to?''
46523''Who''s it from?'' 46523 ''You seem to be looking for some one?''
46523A Jew, eh?
46523About what time was that?
46523Ah, indeed? 46523 Ah, yes, to be sure, or so that it might be used as a passageway-- as in the present case, eh?"
46523Ai n''t you sure?
46523All right sir; and what then?
46523Already? 46523 And Chamberlain, how much did he get?"
46523And Cora Bell-- what''s to be done with her?
46523And McGuire, perhaps?
46523And are they there now?
46523And beds fit to sleep on?
46523And got less than twenty- five dollars apiece?
46523And had you done so? 46523 And he told you who she was?"
46523And so-- and so,murmured Webber, in a voice trembling with emotion,"and so you do n''t believe the fellow had come to life at all?"
46523And that bloody knife of yours?
46523And the man who claims to have seen him enter one of her back doors is perfectly reliable, is he?
46523And then you went to your window?
46523And then, you remember, Woodford found another?
46523And this is your charming niece, Miss Minnie?
46523And we can hear of him at this saloon?
46523And what did you do then?
46523And what was his next move?
46523And who are those two?
46523And who else?
46523And who is the third?
46523And who is this chap?
46523And who may you be, sir?
46523And why do you think the detectives wo n''t find him?
46523And you did n''t know what he was going to do with them?
46523And you did not go to bed at once when you did reach home?
46523And you have good reasons for suspecting this fellow, you think?
46523And you think, from the fact of having found this handkerchief, that there was a woman with the murderers?
46523And you waited till she came out?
46523And you will do it?
46523And you will shape your investigation accordingly?
46523And you, Rouse?
46523Anything up?
46523Are there any clews to work on as yet?
46523Are you speaking sarcastically, sir?
46523Are you sure it''s safe for us to land-- sure there''s no one on the lookout for us?
46523Are you sure?
46523Are you sure?
46523At once, eh?
46523Badly wounded, is n''t he?
46523Barney-- Bill Bunce-- Pete-- Clarky, will you be taken and strung up like so many slaughtered hogs? 46523 Been taken in and done for, eh?"
46523Bell what?
46523But Chamberlain did, eh?
46523But Quackenbush-- where''s Quackenbush?
46523But by whom-- by whom was she taken?
46523But did n''t you see him come out of it?
46523But did not capture?
46523But have you any good reason for supposing these tracks were made by the parties we are looking for?
46523But he divided afterward, I suppose?
46523But he would n''t take your good advice?
46523But how the deuce did you manage it, in your condition?
46523But she did go out sometimes?
46523But these men, what were they doing?
46523But what started you on the run? 46523 But what''ll they say when they come back and find it gone?"
46523But where did you steal it, then?
46523But where will we find ourselves when we get out?
46523But you want to get even with that long, thin church- spire of a detective, do n''t you?
46523But, see here, man, how comes it that you know so much about the matter? 46523 By the way, where did you get the bottle of whisky you had with you that night?"
46523By whom has she been cautioned?
46523Ca n''t you be sure?
46523Ca n''t, eh?
46523Can I be of any service to you, sir?
46523Can you get near enough to them to hear what is said?
46523Could n''t they have caught it?
46523Could you get casts of them?
46523Damon and Pythias over again, eh?
46523Danger?
46523Detectives? 46523 Did he make off in that direction?"
46523Did he say dot, Parney?
46523Did he tell you about it when he came back?
46523Did it fetch the old gal at once?
46523Did she hear anything like a quarrel?
46523Did you believe he would go up to New Haven and rob the old woman?
46523Did you ever see that before?
46523Did you hear who was going over to Stony Creek this morning?
46523Did you know, Monday night, that he had gone to commit this robbery?
46523Did you notice anything in the buggy?
46523Did you say he was coming up here soon?
46523Did you speak to her?
46523Did you speak with him?
46523Did-- did you kill the woman?
46523Do I look like a preacher?
46523Do n''t you know he was the fellow?
46523Do n''t you remember, my dear?
46523Do n''t you understand?
46523Do the authorities know all that you know?
46523Do you know me, sir?
46523Do you know the driver?
46523Do you know what followed?
46523Do you know where Hudson Street is?
46523Do you mean Hen?
46523Do you really mean to say that you will be so rash as to fire upon us?
46523Do you really think they are your father and mother?
46523Do you remember what used to be, and what is still called by some, the Turn Hall, on Spruce Street?
46523Do?
46523Do_ you_ think so?
46523Does Bollmann, or any of the regular force suspect Webber?
46523Does she live on Sixth Avenue?
46523Dot ashes; you remember?
46523Dot fellow vos dead fast enough, eh?
46523Ear- mark, eh? 46523 Emory E. Bissell-- is that it?"
46523For Heaven''s sake, George,exclaimed Stricket, impatiently,"where are you driving to?
46523For goodness''sake, why not? 46523 Going to look into this case a little, Old Spicer?"
46523Gone? 46523 Gone?"
46523Got a license, I suppose?
46523Got a place where we can sit down, and have a social glass?
46523Had she been dead long, do you think?
46523Had she been shot or stabbed?
46523Had she paid the painters, do you think?
46523Hain''t been there long, I reckon?
46523Has any money been found here by the police?
46523Has anything peen said apout der money ve found?
46523Has he a police record?
46523Has he been out uv town?
46523Have the detectives any idea, Clarky, where the fugitives have gone to?
46523Have they any idea who did the deed?
46523Have they let him find it out?
46523Have you any idea who the criminals may be?
46523Have you fixed her, Jake?
46523Have you formed any theory yourself, George?
46523Have you got any wealth concealed in the little vault?
46523Have you heard what this young man has to say, chief?
46523Have you made any progress in that direction?
46523Have you no suggestion to make on that point yourself?
46523Have you questioned everybody in the house?
46523Have you seen this fellow yourself?
46523He came to New Haven with her, did n''t he?
46523He did, eh? 46523 He died about ten years ago?"
46523He had been in this country some time?
46523He had plenty of money then, I suppose?
46523He has a room, I suppose?
46523He left the hotel soon after his visitors went away?
46523He made you believe that, did he?
46523He said nothing at all to you about it then?
46523He said that, did he?
46523He''s from down East, is n''t he?
46523He''s got a lady friend in New York, has n''t he?
46523Heard of him? 46523 His chum?
46523How are you, Tompkins?
46523How can we get at it?
46523How did he act?
46523How did it all turn out?
46523How did it happen that you were up so late last night?
46523How did she take it?
46523How did you happen to fall in with him?
46523How did you manage it?
46523How do you address your letters when you write to him?
46523How do you explain it?
46523How do you know that, Jake?
46523How do you know that?
46523How do you know?
46523How do you propose to do it?
46523How long ago was that?
46523How long have you been intimate with him?
46523How long have you known Chamberlain?
46523How long is it since Ernst, her third husband, died?
46523How long was it after you got here before the police arrived?
46523How many is there with you?
46523How much do you think we got out of that little job?
46523How much does she claim the old gal had by her?
46523How much?
46523How the deuce can I be certain about it? 46523 How the devil did he manage to get away?"
46523How vos dot, Parney?
46523How vos dot?
46523How was she dressed, George?
46523How''d he come by it?
46523How''d he manage to get away? 46523 How''ll you know him?"
46523How''s that?
46523How''s that?
46523How''s that?
46523How''s that?
46523How?
46523Hum, New York parties, eh?
46523Hum, have you any idea who the murderer or murderers were?
46523Humph; and what happened then?
46523I have formed no decided opinion as yet,was the reply,"have you?"
46523I suppose Stark and Rouse are somewhere outside?
46523I suppose he assumed authority at once?
46523I suppose so; but to make certain just go over the programme, will you?
46523I suppose the authorities will hold Chamberlain and Taylor until the governor grants a requisition for their being taken out of the state?
46523I wish you could tell me how Conductor Mason and Peter Coffey are coming out in this affair?
46523I-- I hope you are not he?
46523If I were to give it a name, I should call it----"Well, what?
46523If any one expects to visit the great vault to- night, for instance, could they do so by way of this coal- hole?
46523If any one has gone out by that way lately could they have fastened down the cover after them as we see it now?
46523If you should make a trade you will want a barkeeper, I suppose?
46523In front?
46523In the devil''s name, what''s the matter with you, man? 46523 Indeed?"
46523Is Bissell badly wounded?
46523Is he Hen''s pal?
46523Is he a single man?
46523Is he a young fellow?
46523Is he going to keep us waiting all night for our grog?
46523Is he unconscious?
46523Is it really so bad, Pete?
46523Is it thought the murderers got away with much wealth?
46523Is that so? 46523 Is that so?
46523Is the cover fastened over the hole?
46523Is the guest a new arrival?
46523Is there any danger of that?
46523Is there any mark upon it?
46523It does?
46523It seems so to me---- Well, what is it, Woodford?
46523It''s about time for the seven o''clock train to arrive,said Killett, suddenly;"any use in going over, think?"
46523It''s in this neighborhood?
46523It''s rum all around, is it?
46523Just let me take a look at him, will you?
46523Kept a low barroom or something of the sort?
46523Know Jimmie Taylor''s place, down Hudson Street?
46523Know her name?
46523Know it? 46523 Know the number?"
46523Know what the trouble was between Bissell and Chamberlain?
46523Let''s see-- did you mention your names?
46523Lonesome? 46523 Look here, Em Bissell, ai n''t you putting on more frills than your shirt front''ll carry?"
46523Loud talking, eh? 46523 May I ask you one question?"
46523May be it is; but how can you earn a thousand dollars a piece so easily?
46523Memorandums of what?
46523Money? 46523 Mrs. Neustrom, if I am not mistaken?"
46523No doubt he made you a handsome present?
46523No doubt,responded young Morgan;"but how about getting out again?
46523No idea what he has done with it, I suppose?
46523No question about that; but where shall we look first?
46523No, my tear, dis vos my friend, Parney Hawks; you know him, I pelieve?
46523No,answered the chief;"what is it?"
46523Nonsense, boy: do n''t you see that I wheedled the money out of you on purpose, so that you might not have the means to escape from justice? 46523 Not more than four or five hundred dollars, I think you said?"
46523Now are you willing to take some good advice from me?
46523Now what next?
46523Now, then,said the former, in some perplexity, when they had reached the sidewalk,"the question is, where to go to first?"
46523Of course, and so you swear do you?
46523Of course; what is it?
46523Of the bed?
46523Off and on, eh? 46523 On me?
46523One of my men has him fast; but who the deuce are you?
46523One''s Cohen,was the answer;"another is----""Webber, is n''t it?"
46523Only two? 46523 Papers?
46523Peter Coffey, you mean?
46523Put vhy did n''t he put it in der pank?
46523Put,Jake hastened to ask,"you vill gif us der extra dousands all der same, eh?"
46523Ready?
46523Right; but I hope you also established a watch on his movements?
46523See this closet?
46523See? 46523 Seized?
46523Shall you be alone?
46523She had made a will?
46523She has kept up the business, married or single?
46523She left no children, I believe?
46523She sent word to Hen about the old woman''s money, did n''t she?
46523She was a widow, I believe?
46523She was from Germany?
46523She was quite well off-- rich, in fact?
46523She wrote to him there, did she?
46523So Hen Chamberlain gave you a pretty considerable dig in the ribs, did he?
46523So they''re off together?
46523So you ai n''t so blamed anxious to buy after all?
46523So? 46523 So?
46523So?
46523Stuff?
46523Suppose,said he,"they have placed a watch at both of the outlets?"
46523Supposing we should want to communicate with you, where will a letter or dispatch reach you?
46523Taylor has n''t been in this morning?
46523That sort of thing happens pretty often up your way, does n''t it?
46523The gentlemen of your acquaintance are not all saints, I take it?
46523The lady has heard of the-- the_ accident_?
46523The murderer or murderers made pretty thorough work of it, eh?
46523The victim was an old woman-- a Jewess or a German, was n''t she?
46523Then he did n''t attempt to get away in that direction?
46523Then he''s not in the house at present?
46523Then is n''t it evident that there must be some other way to reach the sub- cellar known to the frequenters of the vault?
46523Then suppose I go to Miss Bell''s and see what I can make out of her?
46523Then there had been something of a scuffle?
46523Then ve hav''to go right py Mr. Marsden''s ped, and run der risk uv wakin''him und his vife?
46523Then we understand each other, do we?
46523Then what do you want to bring me to ruin for?
46523Then what''s the matter-- what do you want of us?
46523Then what''s up? 46523 Then, I take it, you were not long in accomplishing your purpose?"
46523Then, in the demon''s name, how are we going to get out?
46523There was a pretty serious row, was n''t there, in which Natolph got hurt?
46523They have made an appointment with him to meet them in the city to- day, eh?
46523They''d better stick to you, eh?
46523Think so?
46523This is on me,he said, seating himself opposite Barney, who, after he had taken a drink, asked:"This Frank Clark, do you know him?"
46523Thoroughfare, eh?
46523To whom did she leave her property?
46523Twelve? 46523 Twenty thousand dollars, eh?"
46523Und I subbose dot rich young duffer vos ready to bay vot he agreed like an honest man, eh?
46523Und if it vos twenty t''ousand, vot then?

46523Very good, which task do you prefer?

46523Vos dere any whiskey in der house, my tear?
46523Vos dere anyting in dot drawer?
46523Vos dot so?
46523Vos it safe to venture out?
46523Was n''t he here yesterday?
46523Was she bound and gagged?
46523We can keep each other posted as to our movements, eh?
46523We must manage to drive Chamberlain to him, I suppose?
46523Webber was allowed to go home, then?
46523Well, Crowley, what have you to offer?
46523Well, after you''d got the old gal made fast, I suppose you began your search for the boodle?
46523Well, but how_ do_ you suppose he got away? 46523 Well, did you find anything of value on the old woman?"
46523Well, how much will you give me for my share of the boodle?
46523Well, is everything clear to get to work now?
46523Well, is this the doctor coming?
46523Well, was it Sadie?
46523Well, well, whatever you claim, what will you give me for all I brought away?
46523Well, what next?
46523Well, what shall we do? 46523 Well, what''s your idea?"
46523Well, you found out something from them?
46523Well,said the sergeant,"who shall take charge of his effects?"
46523Well?
46523Were any of the regular authorities on the ground before you came away?
46523Were the rooms themselves very much disturbed?
46523Were there no signs of blood?
46523Were they Germans?
46523Were they disarranged in any way?
46523Were you wise in letting the cabman take you where you did?
46523What are you growling about now?
46523What are you thinking of?
46523What can be keeping the fellow?
46523What can he have done with his share of the plunder, then? 46523 What circumstances?"
46523What craft, then?
46523What devil''s hole is this?
46523What did he do?
46523What did he have to say for himself?
46523What did he say?
46523What did you do then?
46523What do you call it, then?
46523What do you expect to gain by seeing him?
46523What do you know about the woman, anyway?
46523What do you mean by that?
46523What do you mean by that?
46523What do you mean? 46523 What do you mean?"
46523What do you mean?
46523What do you think of the case, Spicer?
46523What do you want of it, sir?
46523What else have you to go by?
46523What first attracted your attention to them, Miss Neustrom?
46523What for?
46523What in thunder shall I do?
46523What in thunder''s the matter?
46523What is he doing here?
46523What is it to be, sir?
46523What is it, then?
46523What is it-- if I may ask?
46523What is it?
46523What is it?
46523What is the last?
46523What is the rest? 46523 What made the cub strike you?
46523What makes you so sure about it?
46523What makes you think so?
46523What places are they?
46523What put you on his track?
46523What ship do you fellows belong to?
46523What the deuce is the matter with you?
46523What the deuce---- Oh, is it you, Stark?
46523What time is it now, Spicer?
46523What tunnel?
46523What was her maiden name?
46523What was his name?
46523What was in the glasses?
46523What was it you had heard before?
46523What was it?
46523What''re givin''us? 46523 What''s her name?"
46523What''s that, sir?
46523What''s the matter?
46523What''s the matter?
46523What''s this?
46523What''s up with you fellows?
46523What''s your business?
46523What, and give up the chase for Bissell, Hawks and Bunce?
46523What-- your old friend, Silas?
46523What?
46523When do you start for home?
46523When you found you could n''t make out who they were, what did you do?
46523Where are they now?
46523Where are they?
46523Where are we going, sir, if it''s a fair question?
46523Where are you going to take me to?
46523Where can they have escaped to so suddenly?
46523Where can we find''em, Jake?
46523Where did he go to?
46523Where did you find it?
46523Where did you get your information, in the fiend''s name?
46523Where did you leave the cars?
46523Where does he board?
46523Where is Killett?
46523Where is he?
46523Where is it, Pete?
46523Where is it?
46523Where is there another light, Jake?
46523Where is your woodshed?
46523Where now?
46523Where to, Jake?
46523Where to?
46523Where were you?
46523Where''ll I meet you?
46523Where''s Chamberlain?
46523Where''s his place?
46523Where''s that sleepy boy we saw in the cabin, and who ordered us into this devil''s hold?
46523Where''s the proprietor?
46523Where''s your togs, gentlemen?
46523Where, then?
46523Where?
46523Which ones?
46523Which way did they go after they had passed you?
46523Who are they?
46523Who are they?
46523Who are they?
46523Who did it?
46523Who do you mean when you say your father and mother?
46523Who do you suppose?
46523Who do you think?
46523Who is he?
46523Who keeps it?
46523Who runs this establishment?
46523Who shall speak first?
46523Who the devil are you?
46523Who was he?
46523Who''s looking after the other scoundrels?
46523Who''s on duty there?
46523Who''s that with him?
46523Who''s there?
46523Who''s there?
46523Who''s this one?
46523Who''s vorkin''up der case, Parney?
46523Who, John Ernst?
46523Who, in the fiend''s name?
46523Who-- who did you wish to see?
46523Who?
46523Whose money vos it?
46523Why are you so anxious on that point?
46523Why do n''t he see him, then?
46523Why do you think so?
46523Why does any man do such things?
46523Why not?
46523Why not?
46523Why not?
46523Why not?
46523Why should n''t I, I''d like to know?
46523Why so, Parney?
46523Why so?
46523Why so?
46523Why so?
46523Why, Crowley, where''s your prisoner?
46523Why, do you suspect that you and Barney were, or can be, traced to the schooner?
46523Why, what do you mean?
46523Why,exclaimed Webber,"what the deuce was it that frightened you so?"
46523Will you walk in?
46523Would you know those men again?
46523Yes, where we usually land, ai n''t it?
46523Yes,added Cohen,"what did you see when you looked back?"
46523Yes,exclaimed Seth Stricket, quickly;"for goodness''sake, what''s kept you, George?"
46523Yes; ca n''t you detect it?
46523You admit, then, that there must be another entrance from this side?
46523You are having him shadowed, you say?
46523You are pretty good friends of his, then?
46523You are sure they did n''t drive out Oak Street?
46523You are sure you are right?
46523You are?
46523You can?
46523You caught sight of these parties at last, did you not?
46523You do n''t think, then, Phil, that they intended to murder her?
46523You expect to find out something there?
46523You feel pretty sure of it?
46523You followed him?
46523You go to theaters, balls and parties, eat late suppers, and see a good deal of gentlemen''s society, do n''t you?
46523You got a good look at it, then, before it was disturbed?
46523You have n''t lost sight of him?
46523You have no idea who he is?
46523You have told me the worst-- so far as you are concerned?
46523You know how many handkerchiefs were used in binding the poor old woman''s limbs and in gagging her?
46523You know my address?
46523You know where Hen is most likely to be found?
46523You lead a somewhat irregular life, do you not, my dear?
46523You learned nothing more, I suppose?
46523You mean putting der young station agent''s pody on der track?
46523You measured the footprints?
46523You own this establishment?
46523You received my telegram all right?
46523You think she did not have a very large sum by her last night?
46523You think, then, he''s placed the plunder in the hands of this friend to keep for him?
46523You think, then, this murder was committed by some of the dead woman''s patrons?
46523You thundering fool,he growled,"why will you persist in wearing that great, heavy, conspicuous- looking coat at all times and seasons of the year?
46523You tried to stop him, of course?
46523You vill sell, eh?
46523You vos still feelin''a leetle interest in your old lover, I suppose?
46523You want grog, do you?
46523You want to see me, do you?
46523You went into the house, of course, George?
46523You were left here to watch Bissell?
46523You will know Barney Hawks and Jake Klinkhammer whenever and wherever you see them again, I suppose?
46523You would like that, eh?
46523You''ve got your shooting- irons about you, I suppose?
46523You''ve seen him since, I suppose?
46523Young or old?
46523''Where shall we go?''
46523''Who''s there?''
46523''You''ve got a light there, have n''t you, old gal?''
4652310 Franklin Street, New Haven?"
46523A judge, or a-- a----""Well, a what?"
46523After a moment''s conversation, he asked:"What''s the number of the room over twenty- four?"
46523After the knocking was repeated, a little more impatiently, a voice demanded in no very pleasant tone:"Who''s there, and what do you want?"
46523And do you think I will deliberately give you the means to escape?"
46523And let me tell you, Jimmie, it will be best for you to go along with me quietly, understand?"
46523And now about Way''s revolver: you got that, did n''t you?"
46523And now is there anything more to say?"
46523And now let''s see: when does the next train arrive?"
46523And now permit me to ask to what fortunate circumstance I am indebted for the pleasure of your company to- day?"
46523And now tell me, my good friend, can you devote a little time to me for a day or so?"
46523And now tell us, where can you put us for a night and a day?"
46523And now what next?"
46523And now why ca n''t we talk business?"
46523And now will you let me go to sleep, Pete Coffey?"
46523And this gentleman?"
46523And this?"
46523And what did you say to that, my dear?"
46523And you, George?"
46523And-- and if I do just as you tell me, will you get me out of this awful scrape?"
46523Are these our men?"
46523Are you detectives?"
46523Are you hurt, sir?"
46523Are you trying to come some game over us?"
46523Are you willing to die-- to be hanged, just because a little bad luck has overtaken you?"
46523As he turned the knob he looked back and said:"By the way, where does Chamberlain make it his home in the city?"
46523At length Cora, whose curiosity was greatly excited, asked:"Where have I seen you before, sir?"
46523At length he asked:"How did you gain this much information?"
46523At length she turned to Barney, and asked:"What do you want-- what do you expect of me?"
46523At length the old detective turned to Cora and abruptly asked:"Did you ever hear of such a person as Old Spicer?"
46523At length, rousing himself, Old Spicer turned to Stricket, and said:"Well, Seth, I suppose you have something interesting to tell us?"
46523Barney seemed not to hear him, but hastened to say:"You know the little trick we played down the road did n''t work?"
46523Barney seemed to hesitate for a moment, then he abruptly asked:"When did you see Hen Chamberlain last?"
46523But I say, are you going to try to get her away from Clark?"
46523But did they recognize''em?"
46523But do you really think they may yet be in one or the other of these vaults?"
46523But he looked so innocent and unconscious that she at length mustered courage to ask:"Why do you take the trouble to allude to serious scrapes?
46523But let me ask again, what''s up?
46523But one question more: Hen is n''t Hen when he travels in New York, I''m told?"
46523But shall we direct to this hotel?"
46523But what''s the use?
46523But, I say, Stark, what''s the row?"
46523By the way, are you acquainted with any members of the detective force?"
46523By the way, did you manage to learn anything more about that trap- door and secret tunnel?"
46523By the way, when had we better gather them in?"
46523By whom, in the demon''s name?"
46523Ca n''t you guess now why I introduced you to Cora Bell?
46523Ca n''t you see why I took you to Jim Taylor''s place?
46523Can they have caught that?"
46523Cheap perfume, eh?"
46523Did n''t you dare to stay and face the music?"
46523Did they come from this way?"
46523Did you go aboard the schooner again?"
46523Did you learn which ones?"
46523Do n''t your food agree with you, man?"
46523Do they suspect der rich young duffer?"
46523Do you know any of the rest?"
46523Do you know anything about it?"
46523Do you know, Barney, they''re after me, hot and heavy, for that little job in the Stony Creek railway station?"
46523Do you mean Hen Chamberlain?"
46523Do you mean to say that I have n''t got plenty of French brandy in my establishment?"
46523Do you remember Stark?"
46523Do you remember that Clark that we saw with Peter two or three times?"
46523Do you think I am likely to be drawn into anything of the kind?"
46523Do you think as they do, that there was no intention to kill her?"
46523Do you want to see him?"
46523Do your men know where to look for you, Adam?"
46523Frank Clark''s more like it, eh?"
46523Have n''t you ever heard the old saw, that you ca n''t handle pitch without being defiled?"
46523Have you seen Sadie Seaton since we parted last?"
46523How did they manage it?
46523How did you get in?"
46523How many were there against you?"
46523How much of a haul is it likely they made?"
46523How so, pray?"
46523How vos_ I_ to know dot she would schlip her vind so easy?"
46523I demanded, sternly;''what''s that you say, sir?''
46523I dink dey vill hav''to pass dot next dividend, Parney, eh?"
46523I do n''t know but----""But that you are in as bad a box as the rest, eh, young man?"
46523I suppose you do n''t know her number?"
46523I suppose you have found out something of importance?"
46523If I remember rightly, you have been in two or three little affairs with him?"
46523In the name of the great Lecoq, how did he manage it?"
46523Is he still in the saloon, Silas?"
46523Jimmie Taylor, eh?
46523KEEN, THE HEADQUARTERS DETECTIVE.=--Who does not know of the great marble building in Mulberry Street, New York City?
46523Mrs. Ernst murdered?''
46523Neustrom?"
46523No intention to kill her?
46523Now the question is, how is the place ventilated?"
46523Now vot you got to told me apout dot leetle schob down pelow?"
46523Now what station would they be most likely to get on at?"
46523Now, have you a match?"
46523Now, then, the question is, has the wounded man, in his supposed weakly condition, been able to escape from the hotel?
46523Now, what do you really think he gave me?"
46523Pissell?"
46523Pretty good pay for one night''s work, eh, boys?"
46523Put first, my tear, how vos der vinders?"
46523Put why do they susbect Peter?"
46523Queer looking cuss, ai n''t he?"
46523Taylor started slightly, but presently said, calmly enough:"You know Clark, do you?"
46523The outside door this time, eh?"
46523The place has been so arranged that it can be used as a closet for either room, you perceive?"
46523Then abruptly:"What are you going to do for the next hour or so, Seth?"
46523Then in another tone:"Let''s see, how old was she?"
46523Then in another tone:"What''s the news, Jake?
46523Then you vent off, eh?"
46523Then, as the boat came into view,"I wonder who he''s got with him?"
46523Then, turning to the man he called his right bower:"Silas,"he asked,"do you think you can penetrate any disguise they may assume?"
46523Then, with a reckless-- an almost despairing air:"Well, what do you want of me, any way?"
46523There''s plenty of food in there, I suppose?"
46523Tompkins appeared not to notice this, but walking up to where he was standing, said, carelessly:"What''s the matter, Jemmie?
46523Und you vould like to see him brosper, eh?"
46523Vere vos dot odder twenty- two cents?"
46523Vos der really so much as dot, Parney?"
46523Vosn''t dot so, my tear Parney?"
46523Vot schall I do?
46523Was that the man?"
46523We know the taste, and we know how much of the stuff we can stand, do n''t you see?"
46523Well, Silas, what is it?"
46523Were they plain-- distinct?"
46523West Indian rum, eh?
46523What am I thinking of?
46523What are you driving at, Jake?"
46523What are you talking about?
46523What brings you here at this time of night?"
46523What can I do for you, gentlemen?"
46523What did it all amount to?"
46523What did they want the young fellow put out of the way for, eh?"
46523What do you mean, sir?"
46523What do you see?"
46523What do you think of that?"
46523What else did you notice?"
46523What evidence have you got on this point?"
46523What had we better do now?"
46523What have you been able to find out?"
46523What is it?"
46523What money?"
46523What more have you to tell me, George?"
46523What papers?"
46523What shall I do?
46523What shall I do?"
46523What shall we do?"
46523What was it?"
46523What''re you up to at this time o''night, anyway?
46523What''s come over you, Em?
46523What''s his name?"
46523What''s his name?"
46523What''s the hitch between you and the folks at the excise office?"
46523What''s up?"
46523When shall I see you again?"
46523Where did they go to?"
46523Where did you find this handkerchief?"
46523Where were they when you first heard them?"
46523Where''s that flask of whisky I saw you take from behind McCarthy''s bar to- night?"
46523Who are you, any way?"
46523Who is she?"
46523Who is the other party?"
46523Who''s this one?"
46523Why ai n''t ye at home and in bed, where you ought to be?"
46523Why do n''t you tell me?"
46523Why?"
46523Why?"
46523Will you have the contents now?
46523Will you take something more, sir?"
46523You are quite sure of what you say?"
46523You find''em?"
46523You got somedings to trink, Parney?
46523You think I brought away ten thousand dollars, do n''t you?"
46523You''ve heard of him?"
46523You''ve no objection to my calling him in?"
46523Young man, what are you giving us?"
46523Zunder?"
46523and do you think they found it?"
46523and give up the Stony Creek affair?"
46523and so this is one of the villains?"
46523are you both going?"
46523back already?"
46523but where are they now?"
46523did Webber catch a glimpse of them?"
46523did you know that young woman?"
46523do they suspect us, Parney?"
46523do you mean the Marsden affair?"
46523exclaimed Killett, when he had finished,"that was the way of it, eh?
46523exclaimed Old Spicer, as he set down the waiter,"ai n''t you going to take a toothful with us for sociability''s sake?"
46523exclaimed Rouse,"have n''t you forgot something?"
46523exclaimed the captain,"what''ll I do, then?"
46523footprints, eh?
46523he exclaimed,"do you let the loss of a little money affect you in that way?
46523he exclaimed,"is Killett here?"
46523he exclaimed,"is n''t he in the next room?"
46523he has a secret friend, eh?"
46523hissed Bissell,"why were we such confounded fools as to leave such evidence of our presence on board the schooner?"
46523how could I, when I do n''t know you from Adam?"
46523how do you know that?"
46523how far have they gone in the matter?"
46523is Old Spicer in this hotel?"
46523is it Cora Bell?"
46523is it you, Jake?
46523matter?''
46523one word: When do you leave New York, and in what direction?"
46523said Old Spicer,"if he is n''t at the office, as it''s hardly likely he will be at this hour, have it taken to him wherever he may be; understand?"
46523she kept her family affairs to herself, did she?"
46523somebody telephoned to headquarters, I suppose?"
46523that''s it, eh?
46523that''s the way the wind sets, is it?
46523that''s why you think so much of St. Croix rum, eh?"
46523the Bouncing Betsey seized?
46523the wife of the cigar- maker who lives directly over the barroom?"
46523these two?
46523vhat do you mean, Parney, my tear poy?"
46523what do I care for your cursed bell and your threats?
46523what else?"
46523what is it-- what is it that''s so horrible?"
46523what was that?"
46523what''s that?
46523what''s that?"
46523whose turn will it be next, I wonder?
46523you ai n''t, eh?
46523you are going into it to- night, then?"
46523you are going to do a little detective work up there, are you?"
46523you do see it at last, do you?"
46523you threaten my life, do you?
55960''Oo said y''did?
55960A Crazy Jane?
55960A confession?
55960About what time?
55960About what? 55960 About what?"
55960About what?
55960Admitting that he is-- which I do n''t on the strength of the romantic vow-- how did Ferris become possessed of the necklace?
55960Ah, does he? 55960 Ah, you know that?"
55960Alder?
55960Am I nobody?
55960Am I-- have I-- what is it?
55960And Martin is Dean?
55960And does''Tilda say the diamonds were gone?
55960And has Dean a horseshoe?
55960And he did n''t kill Kirkstone after all?
55960And is Mr. Dean innocent?
55960And she turned up the death- card?
55960And temper also,rejoined Gebb, who was rather sore about the reward"Eh, Simon?
55960And the name of the assassin?
55960And was a violent death predicted?
55960And what did Miss Gilmar do?
55960And what did she do when she heard of his escape?
55960And what does Mr. Absalom Gebb, Detective, wish with me?
55960And what good has all your worry done, you fool? 55960 And what had that to do with you, may I ask?"
55960And where he is to be found?
55960And where is the confession now?
55960And who killed Miss Ligram?
55960And why I intended to call on you?
55960And why did he leave the jewels in Dean''s room at Kirkstone Hall?
55960And why?
55960And you believe that Miss Ligram and Miss Gilmar are one and the same person?
55960And you intend to earn it, I suppose?
55960And you think that Dean murdered her?
55960And you, Edith,said Dean, looking at the girl,"is it your opinion that I am guilty of Miss Gilmar''s death?"
55960And, in my turn, may I ask why you killed Miss Gilmar?
55960Any particular mark?
55960Are you certain of this?
55960Are you in love with her too?
55960Arthur who?
55960At Grangebury, I suppose?
55960At what hour?
55960Basson-- Clement Basson, the barrister?
55960But about Dean?
55960But how could Dean, who was almost bankrupt, afford to give Laura a diamond necklace?
55960But how did Dean implicate Laura?
55960But how did Miss Gilmar quieten Laura?
55960But how did you find out?
55960But surely you are sorry to hear of her murder?
55960But what about Dean?
55960But what has a crime committed twenty years ago to do with the assassination of Miss Lig-- I mean, of Miss Gilmar?
55960But what was his reason?
55960But when do you suggest she committed the crime?
55960But where did you get the money to visit London?
55960But who is the person you think he is shielding?
55960But why did you kill Miss Gilmar?
55960But why do n''t you produce your alibi?
55960But why in Heaven''s name did he desire the death of his wretched cousin?
55960But why should Laura kill her brother?
55960But why should she write to you?
55960But why?
55960But you came up on the twenty- fourth of July from Norminster, did you not?
55960But you did not?
55960But you were with her on that night?
55960But,objected Parge, again,"why should she accuse Dean?
55960By Clement Basson, the barrister, who defended Dean twenty years ago?
55960By the way, is Ferris going to stick to that name?
55960By the way, when did Dean escape?
55960Ca n''t you tell me more?
55960Ca n''t you understand that a woman would not be left in possession of a dead woman''s goods without satisfying her curiosity in some way? 55960 Call who Arthur?"
55960Can I see him?
55960Can I?
55960Can you explain the mystery, Simon?
55960Can you tell me who killed Kirkstone?
55960Can you tell me why she did so?
55960Cigarette ash?
55960Dean has been pardoned, has he not, Absalom?
55960Dean, the man I defended, Ferris''s father?
55960Did Dean kill Kirkstone?
55960Did Dean kill Miss Gilmar?
55960Did Ferris go to the lecture?
55960Did I know them?
55960Did Laura Kirkstone kill her brother?
55960Did Miss Ligram usually dress like this?
55960Did Miss Wedderburn know the truth?
55960Did Mr. Ferris know?
55960Did every one round here think he was really Martin come back?
55960Did he come to the Hall to kill Miss Gilmar?
55960Did he kill her?
55960Did he know of your intention?
55960Did he know that she was in Grangebury?
55960Did he?
55960Did it freeze yours, that you ran out of the room?
55960Did n''t Dean suspect her?
55960Did not Kirkstone threaten to turn her out- of- doors? 55960 Did she ever drop any hint about the murder?"
55960Did she give any reason for this singular request?
55960Did she say so?
55960Did that return third- class ticket dropped in the room at Paradise Row belong to Dean?
55960Did you attend the lecture on Dickens in the Town Hall?
55960Did you hear any sound in the house when you arrived home?
55960Did you hear of the murder before you left?
55960Did you know that Miss Gilmar was in Grangebury?
55960Did you know that Miss Gilmar was there?
55960Did you know that she carried about a duplicate of this room?
55960Did you know the course of her wanderings?
55960Did you know them?
55960Did you like her, Miss Wedderburn?
55960Did you lock the back door when you came in?
55960Did you meet any one in the street going there?
55960Did you see her on that night?
55960Did you write and tell Mr. Ferris about my visit to you?
55960Did your father leave no money?
55960Do you know anything about the diamond necklace?
55960Do you know my errand?
55960Do you know the motive for the committal of the crime?
55960Do you know where the confession is?
55960Do you know who killed Miss Gilmar?
55960Do you mean her real or personal estate?
55960Do you swear that you are innocent?
55960Do you think Dean''killed her?
55960Do you think Miss Wedderburn is aware of her cousin''s death?
55960Do you think he''ll get over it?
55960Do you think it exists?
55960Do you?
55960Does Ferris know?
55960Does Mr. Alder believe in Dean''s guilt-- in his double guilt?
55960Does Mr. Alder know who you are?
55960Does Mr. Ferris know Dean?
55960Does he say that Dean is guilty?
55960Does he? 55960 Does she know who killed Miss Gilmar?"
55960For how long has Miss Ligram been lodging with you?
55960For instance, why did Alder kill Miss Gilmar?
55960From what station?
55960Had Miss Gilmar any enemies?
55960Had he a mark on one cheek-- a birth- mark?
55960Had she diamonds?
55960Had you a return ticket?
55960Has Miss Wedderburn any theory about this murder?
55960Has he a mark on one cheek?
55960Has he any idea of the whereabouts of his father?
55960Has it anything to do with this murder?
55960Have n''t I been generous, Simon?
55960Have you the will?
55960How am I to act? 55960 How are you getting on with the case of my poor cousin''s murder?
55960How can we ever thank you?
55960How dare you call him Arthur?
55960How did he get the ticket?
55960How do I know that you have two lovers?
55960How do you know that I have a lover?
55960How do you know that?
55960How do you know, sir?
55960How else could I have got the necklace?
55960How is that?
55960How is that?
55960How will she answer?
55960I deny that,said Prain, sharply; then after a pause, he added,"Do you know why I came back to England on reading about her death?"
55960I do n''t think so; but if that is your idea, why do n''t you find Dean and tax him with the crime? 55960 I hope so, too,"answered Gebb, much pleased;"but you are certain that Dean is guilty?"
55960I know that his Christian name is Arthur, but what is the surname of your lover, Miss Wedderburn?
55960I suppose he did n''t care on whom suspicion fell?
55960I suppose there is no use hunting for him?
55960I thought such might be the case myself,said Gebb, thoughtfully,"Did he come near you at any time after his escape?"
55960I thought there was a gardener here at the time of the murder called Martin?
55960I wonder what Lackland wants to see me about-- eh, Prain?
55960I wonder what it is? 55960 I?"
55960If he is, what was he doing at Grangebury on the evening of the murder? 55960 If you did not kill the woman yourself,"said he,"who did?"
55960In my turn, may I ask why you come here to question me?
55960In what way? 55960 In what way?"
55960In what way?
55960In what way?
55960Is he handsome?
55960Is she dead? 55960 Is she very pretty?"
55960Is this a lunatic asylum, Miss Wedderburn?
55960Is this so?
55960Is your name Arthur Ferris?
55960Know what?
55960Lor'', you''re perlice, are you?
55960Married or single?
55960May I ask what you want?
55960May I inquire your business?
55960Miss Gilmar kill Kirkstone?
55960Miss Gilmar''s lodgings, you mean?
55960Miss Ligram, you mean? 55960 Mr. Alder''s ill, is he?"
55960Mr. Prain? 55960 Murder?"
55960My cousin Kirkstone? 55960 My father?
55960No, I have n''t, Simon; have you?
55960Nothing serious, I hope?
55960Nothing, Miss Wedderburn? 55960 Of what?"
55960Oh, have you?
55960Oh, have you?
55960Oh, that''s your trouble, is it, miss?
55960On the twenty- fourth?
55960On what charge?
55960On what grounds do you suspect her?
55960On what grounds?
55960On what grounds?
55960Perhaps she was afraid of your asking the driver questions as to where she came from?
55960Seen''oo dead?
55960She admitted him?
55960She came in answer to an advertisement, I suppose?
55960She offered you too little?
55960She owns the Hall, then?
55960She refuses to be its mistress?
55960She took good care to hide her past I wonder why?
55960She was half- witted, you say?
55960She was superstitious?
55960So you are shielding your father, after all?
55960So you knew of the murder when I paid my first visit?
55960So you never found out where she came from?
55960Still, why should she bring the knife into the smoking- room if she committed the crime on the impulse of the moment?
55960Suppose we refuse?
55960That you, Gebb?
55960The diamonds?
55960The sister borrowed it from Dean, did n''t she?
55960Then he confessed his crime?
55960Then he impersonated Martin to save himself from the police?
55960Then he is going to take his wife''s name, I suppose?
55960Then how did it come in your possession?
55960Then what about these?
55960Then who did?
55960Then who is guilty?
55960Then why did n''t you say so?
55960Then why did you arrest the wrong man in the person of Ferris?
55960Then why did you tell me to ask her about Ferris?
55960Then why is Ferris shielding Dean?
55960There is a will, then?
55960There is no need to swear,said Gebb, wondering at her vehemence;"but why did you faint when I asked you about him?"
55960There''s the death- token, and there''s the corpse; what do you make of that?
55960To the lecture?
55960Was Dean ever in London while he stayed here under the name of Martin?
55960Was Miss Gilmar kind to you?
55960Was Miss Gilmar the criminal?
55960Was Miss Gilmar unpopular in these parts?
55960Was any one with her when you called?
55960Was it closed when you went out?
55960Was it sold-- pawned----?
55960Was that why you made all that howling?
55960Was the door locked when you returned?
55960Was this dead woman a lodger of yours?
55960Well, Absalom,said Parge, with a plethoric grunt,"and how does the matter of that Grangebury case stand now?
55960Well, Absalom,said he,"have you discovered who killed Miss Gilmar?"
55960Well, Mr. Gebb, have you brought me a brief?
55960Well, Mrs. Grix, what is your opinion? 55960 Well, and did n''t that reveal the truth?
55960Well, and how does he say the necklace came into his hands?
55960Well, and what took place after the ladies retired?
55960Well, sir,said Gebb, almost immediately,"and how is your prisoner?"
55960Well, sir,said he, grimly,"and what do you intend to do now?"
55960Well,said Alder, with a shrug,"what does Mr. Gebb say?"
55960Were they in the hall before ten o''clock?
55960Were you here when the murder took place?
55960What about Basson-- can he prove anything?
55960What about the body?
55960What am I to do?
55960What are n''t there?
55960What are your intentions?
55960What can I do? 55960 What can I think?"
55960What confession?
55960What defence does he make?
55960What did Laura say to Dean''s accusation?
55960What did she particularly seek to know?
55960What did you notice?
55960What did you say?
55960What do you call plainly?
55960What do you know about Marmaduke Dean?
55960What do you know of Miss Wedderburn?
55960What do you mean by the death- card?
55960What do you mean by your hints?
55960What do you mean?
55960What do you mean?
55960What do you mean?
55960What do you mean?
55960What do you mean?
55960What do you want?
55960What does Miss Wedderburn think?
55960What else was I to do?
55960What good can she do?
55960What is found? 55960 What is the matter?"
55960What is the name of the public- house?
55960What is the same?
55960What is your name?
55960What kind of a shock? 55960 What kind of secrets?"
55960What makes you think that he did?
55960What makes you worry over Ferris?
55960What may you be pleased to want?
55960What the devil does that mean?
55960What things?
55960What word?
55960What''s all this about?
55960What''s the matter with Mad Martin, mister?
55960When docs the marriage take place?
55960When you came for the police did you leave by that door?
55960When you went upstairs was the door closed to?
55960Where are you going?
55960Where did you lose it?
55960Where do you intend to look for evidence?
55960Where do you think this confession is to be found?
55960Where is he to be found?
55960Where is that confession?
55960Where?
55960Which of them, Alder or Ferris?
55960Which two? 55960 Who is Miss Ligram?"
55960Who is mad?
55960Who is she? 55960 Who is the other lover?"
55960Who left him and Kirkstone alone?
55960Who told you about my father?
55960Who was Dean''s counsel?
55960Whom do you think the money is left to?
55960Why are you disturbed?
55960Why are you doubtful of Miss Ligram''s past?
55960Why did Mr. Alder do that?
55960Why did n''t they lock him up?
55960Why did she faint?
55960Why do you ask me?
55960Why do you ask?
55960Why do you think so?
55960Why does he act in this way?
55960Why not ask her?
55960Why not? 55960 Why not?"
55960Why should I deceive you about it?
55960Why should I mind?
55960Why should I? 55960 Why two days''delay?"
55960Why, what did she know about it?
55960Why, what on earth has he got to do with it?
55960Why?
55960Why?
55960Why?
55960Will ye give me money for it?
55960Will you find the man there?
55960Will you see him now?
55960Without a provision for you?
55960Wo n''t he confess how he became possessed of the diamonds?
55960Wot d''ye mean, screeching out murder like a loonatic? 55960 Would he be so cruel?"
55960Yes, Miss Wedderburn, I do; and why should you or Mr. Ferris there pretend ignorance of what you know to be true? 55960 Yes, but you also believe that Ferris does not know Dean,"cried Gebb, crossly;"so why should he shield him?"
55960Yes,said Miss Wedderburn, rather surprised;"do you know him?"
55960You accuse me of murder? 55960 You do n''t expect roast ducks to fly into your mouth, do you?"
55960You found it?
55960You have the confession, you say?
55960You knew, then, that she called herself Miss Ligram at Grangebury?
55960You know nothing of her past?
55960You know?
55960You would not have had me betray myself or Arthur? 55960 Your father, or Martin the gardener?"
55960''ere, wot''s this?"
5596040, Blackstone Lane, Fleet Street,"replied Alder promptly;"but what do you expect to learn from him?"
55960About whom?"
55960Alder?"
55960Alder?"
55960Alder?"
55960An accident?"
55960And afterwards?"
55960And did he not try to induce Laura to revoke her will in favour of the housekeeper?
55960And look you here, Simon,"cried Gebb, warming up,"it''s all very well your pitching into me over this case; but is it an easy one?
55960And now I wish to ask you a few questions about Miss Gilmar, if you do n''t mind replying to them?"
55960And were they guilty?
55960And what is her real name?"
55960And who is Martin?"
55960And who would have thought them guilty?
55960And why did he pawn them so hurriedly unless he intended to leave England?
55960Another cousin?"
55960Are you sure it is n''t yours?"
55960Besides,"she added, very reasonably,"If, as we all think, Mr. Dean is guiltless of Kirkstone''s death, why should he kill Miss Gilmar?"
55960But about that ticket found in the Yellow Boudoir?"
55960But how did you guess that I referred to Parge?"
55960But if this is so, why did not Ferris clear himself before the magistrate?
55960But may I ask how you found it out?"
55960But tell me frankly, Mr. Basson, do you know where Dean is to be found?"
55960But this confession; you say Mr. Alder has it?"
55960But was there any particular aim in her questioning?"
55960But what has the lecture to do with Ferris and his innocence?"
55960But what is your opinion about this crime?"
55960But would a woman, however cruel, have so brutally strangled her unsuspecting hostess, and-- as it may be assumed-- friend?
55960By the way, Simon, what kind of a man was he to look at-- to the naked eye, so to speak?"
55960By the way, is the body buried?"
55960By the way, who is that man?"
55960By the way, why did not the servant give up this letter before?"
55960Can I do anything for you?"
55960Can you find Dean?
55960Can you show me over it?"
55960Dean?"
55960Dean?"
55960Dean?"
55960Did Mrs. Presk know of''Tilda''s discovery?"
55960Did he?"
55960Did n''t I say in my letter that I had solved the mystery, you fool?"
55960Did she refuse to give it up?"
55960Did you furnish this room, ma''am?"
55960Did you kill her?"
55960Do you believe that Dean is guilty?"
55960Do you believe that I killed Kirkstone?"
55960Do you know him?"
55960Do you know where he is to be found?"
55960Do you notice that the same letters, differently placed, are used in every instance?"
55960Do you remember the bowie- knife mentioned in the evidence as belonging to Dean?"
55960Do you say Dean is the criminal?"
55960Do you think he is innocent?"
55960Do you wonder that I received a shock, Mr. Gebb?
55960Does he know that his cousin is dead?"
55960Ferris?"
55960Ferris?"
55960Ferris?"
55960Ferris?"
55960Ferris?"
55960Gabb?"
55960Gebb noted this name in his pocket- book, and rose to his feet"So this is all you have to tell me?"
55960Gebb?"
55960Gebb?"
55960Gebb?"
55960Grix?"
55960Grix?"
55960Have you Miss Gilmar''s confession?"
55960Have you any interest in the matter?"
55960Have you been round the pawnshops?"
55960Have you caught Dean?"
55960Have you examined that doorkeeper as to Miss Wedderburn''s presence in the lecture hall on the night and at the hour of the murder?"
55960Have you never heard of the murder which took place in this house?"
55960How did you find out that the necklace was pawned?"
55960How did you find out the truth?"
55960How did you hear of it?"
55960How did you know about it?"
55960How do you know?"
55960How should I know the assassin?"
55960How should I?"
55960I agree with you, going by the story told to me by Parge, that Miss Gilmar killed Kirkstone, but who killed Miss Gilmar?"
55960I found out the truth from-- who do you think?"
55960I suppose the goods of Miss Gilmar have been moved by Alder as her heir?"
55960I suppose you are in difficulties over the matter?"
55960I wonder what they were fooling with cards for?
55960I wonder why?
55960If not them, who is guilty?"
55960If so, why does he not defend himself in that way?"
55960If so, why had he not assisted the police to trace the woman''s past history?
55960In which direction am I to move?
55960Is not such a foul accusation enough to make you believe the wretch to be guilty?"
55960Is this assassination of Miss Ligram his second crime?"
55960It was in July Miss Ellen died, was n''t it?"
55960John Alder the barrister?"
55960Know it?"
55960May I ask what caused you to faint, Miss Wedderburn?"
55960Now I believe that this man---- By the way,"said Gebb, breaking away from his original speech,"did Miss Ligram smoke?"
55960Now, Absalom, what strikes you as strange about these names?"
55960On the first of May Miss Ligram came in a van and----""Came in a van?"
55960Prain?"
55960Prain?"
55960Presk?"
55960Presk?"
55960Question her; question the servant who---- By the way, what is the servant''s name?"
55960So this cove has been in trouble before?"
55960Tell us truly-- Do you believe in my father''s guilt?"
55960The man himself may be able to supply evidence to reveal the truth; but where is he to be found?"
55960The only thing is to search for that confession, so the sooner I set to work the better.--Martin,"he said, aloud,"can you show me over the house?"
55960The question now is, where is he to be found?"
55960The question was, where was it concealed?
55960Then he asked suddenly,"Do you believe that Dean is innocent of this Kirkstone Hall crime?"
55960Then how the devil do you expect me to find him after all these years?
55960Then tell me who inherits Miss Gilmar''s property?"
55960Then you have no questions to ask about the case of to- day?"
55960This room''s a rum one, ai n''t it?
55960To put a plain question, miss,''What made you faint?''"
55960Was it Dean, or Miss Gilmar, or Miss Laura who killed the man?"
55960Was it not his intention to deprive Miss Gilmar of Dean by marrying him to Laura?
55960Was it not right to do so?"
55960Was it possible that light could be thrown on its darkness by this madman?
55960Well, and have you caught the blackguard who murdered the poor woman?"
55960Well, and what do you intend to do now?"
55960Were they playing cards?
55960Were you not at Grangebury on the night of the twenty- fourth of July?"
55960What about Ferris?"
55960What about her_ protà © gà ©_, Martin?"
55960What about that Yellow Boudoir at Kirkstone Hall?"
55960What am I to understand by this contradiction?"
55960What do you know of this?"
55960What do you say, Gebb?"
55960What do you think of that, hey?"
55960What does all this prove?
55960What evidence did the prosecution bring forward?"
55960What for?
55960What has he to do with it?"
55960What has it got to do with Dean?"
55960What is your opinion?"
55960What of that?"
55960What possible motive could she have?"
55960What two?"
55960What was he like?"
55960What was his return ticket to Norminster doing in Miss Gilmar''s room at Paradise Row?
55960What was the name on the van?"
55960When did you hear of it?
55960When?
55960Where is she now?"
55960Where?"
55960Where?"
55960Who are you?"
55960Who are you?"
55960Who can decide the matter?"
55960Who is that knocking?
55960Who pawned it?"
55960Who was Dean''s solicitor?"
55960Who?"
55960Why did he stay in London all night?
55960Why not compare yourself to a witness in the witness- box?"
55960Why should I kill her?"
55960Why should I say that?"
55960Why was Alder so kind to Ferris?"
55960Why?
55960Will you be so kind, Mr. Basson, as to tell me the facts in your own way?
55960Will you call on me afterwards, Mr. Gebb, and tell me what you learn from Basson?
55960You are Miss Wedderburn, of the Hall?
55960You wish to learn who killed Miss Gilmar, sir?
55960asked Gebb, still perplexed"What clue had you?"
55960burst out Mrs. Presk,"have n''t you got eyes?"
55960cried Gebb, suspiciously,"in spite of the disturbed atmosphere of the house, and the quarrelling?"
55960echoed Gebb, pricking up his ears at this hint of a clue;"what sort of people?"
55960growled Parge, glaring at the young man,"so you''ve thought fit to come at last?"
55960grumbled Lackland, annoyed that his advice was not taken;"and what if you do n''t get charge of the case?"
55960he cried in a rage,"will you or will you not answer me plainly?"
55960he is dissipated?"
55960he knows who he is, then?"
55960he said;"if the man is innocent, and can prove it, as you say, why does n''t he speak out?"
55960repeated Gebb, who had half forgotten the man;"how is he?"
55960repeated Mrs. Presk, horrified"Do you think this fortune- teller killed her?"
55960she told you about that scamp?"
55960squealed Mrs. Grix,"have you put him in prison?"
55960the heir?"
55960the name of the murderer?"
55960then you know something about the matter?"
55960to the sister?"
37545''Je suis aussi sans désir Autre que d''en bien finir-- Sans regret, sans repentir--''I do n''t know if you read Peter Ibbetson?"
37545A basista''s a sort of fence, is n''t he? 37545 A card?"
37545A description of him?
37545A guard?
37545About how many? 37545 About how old?"
37545After his promise?
37545After us?
37545After? 37545 Age?"
37545Age?
37545Ah!--And, now, I suppose you know the name of the actress he was engaged to?
37545Ah-- And directly after the shot the lights went out?
37545Ai n''t it a sight?
37545Ai n''t you the one shot a Dago yesterday in the Park? 37545 Alieni o''n''infama,"said the Parmesan, pleasantly,"what would you do to remain awake?"
37545All right.--But why has n''t he tried to gain time with some kind of parley-- some kind of bluff?
37545An''the shadder the chaufers seen?
37545And Allegra?
37545And Christina?
37545And Christina?
37545And Miss Hope?
37545And Ten Euyck says--?
37545And came out with Miss Hope?
37545And did nothing?
37545And do you not disobey if you blunder? 37545 And do you think you''ve saved her?
37545And does not the absence of all apparent means of escape shake your theory of the impossibility of suicide?
37545And have you not one more plan? 37545 And is that the reason,"asked Herrick,"why you left her in the lurch?"
37545And is this your idea of explanation?
37545And may one ask an awkward question, Miss Hope? 37545 And no one else saw them?"
37545And on my terms?
37545And she answered?
37545And takes with her Allegra and Mrs. Pascoe and whatever of their tribe they choose?
37545And that-- was that the very-- last--?
37545And then she disappeared?
37545And then?
37545And this gesture was the same?
37545And this was all?
37545And try to believe, will you?
37545And was the slaughter terrible?
37545And what did you do?
37545And what had she?
37545And what then?
37545And what was this discovery, Miss Hope?
37545And where''s he now?
37545And yet you come-- willingly-- to me?
37545And you can be certain of this?
37545And you did n''t follow?
37545And you did nothing?
37545And you do n''t know Ann Cornish?
37545And you picture Miss Hope as The Queen of the Black Hand?
37545And you went?
37545And you will dine with us to- night? 37545 And your Italian told you this story?"
37545And your understanding with him remained unimpaired up to his death?
37545And, besides, how could it be she? 37545 Any hall?"
37545Are n''t you sure?
37545Are there none-- out there-- who know her?
37545Are they all there? 37545 Are those doors fast?"
37545As if the speaker were losing control of herself?
37545As if to pick something up?
37545At least, your continuance in it made his jealousy more active?
37545Because they followed and brought him back?
37545Before my eyes?
37545Besides, Mr. Herrick,--Bryce-- were they trying to kidnap you, too? 37545 Black?"
37545But are you sure, Joe?
37545But how, when, where?
37545But how? 37545 But is n''t it wicked?
37545But it followed up the Ingham business with letters alone?
37545But on what grounds?
37545But she did n''t swim downstairs again, without your seeing her?
37545But she went out of the room before you did?
37545But she would not be apt to come into your room during the night?
37545But the choice?
37545But was it not from the Society I learned lenience to Pachotto? 37545 But what can he do?"
37545But why, dearest, why?
37545But you do n''t suppose the whole nation is one united Black- Hand, do you? 37545 But you never saw one about her house?"
37545But you''ve changed the relationship--?
37545But you''ve listened so willingly to Wheeler and to Mrs. Deutch, why not listen to me? 37545 But you, yourself?
37545But, Miss Hope, in person?
37545Ca n''t I?
37545Ca n''t you see that it would be the worst kind of a mistake for me to change now? 37545 Ca n''t you?"
37545Christina, ca n''t you see that we''re alone here? 37545 Christina, what was it you could n''t go through with?"
37545Christina, what''s your trouble?
37545Christina,he asked her,"go through with what?"
37545Christina,said he, studying her face,"do you hate me so much?"
37545Christina? 37545 Clear?"
37545Come, do I need to tell you that? 37545 Could n''t it have been a gentleman''s shadow you saw, Mr. Herrick?
37545Could you not assume that you might have been mistaken? 37545 Could you pass her door without her hearing you?"
37545Could you swear to it?
37545Could you swear you heard a third voice at all?
37545Dear friends, you observed well what Pachotto said? 37545 Denny?"
37545Deny it? 37545 Deutch screened you, you say?
37545Deutch? 37545 Did I?
37545Did Mr. Ingham have any enemies?
37545Did he seem excited?
37545Did n''t she quarrel with you because of some woman?
37545Did n''t you know?
37545Did no one get out?
37545Did she look so much like Miss Hope?
37545Did the hall- boy connect you at once?
37545Did the maid let you in?
37545Did you hear anything of what she was saying?
37545Did you know it? 37545 Did you tell him there was a lady here?"
37545Did you, as a near neighbor, ever observe that there were any ladies at these parties?
37545Did you, yourself, notice no one whom we can summon as a witness to your return?
37545Do n''t you understand? 37545 Do n''t you, Herrick, want to take a look at the curiosity without which I might as well have asked a clam for a Fourth of July oration?"
37545Do they?
37545Do you know how big you are? 37545 Do you know what aphasia is, Mrs. Deutch?
37545Do you know what he means to do as Police Inspector? 37545 Do you know why they did quarrel?"
37545Do you lock your door?
37545Do you pretend to tell me, then, that you do n''t know why she came?
37545Do you remember the young feller,he asked,"that was a witness to the Ingham inquest?
37545Do you suppose I should not tell why I came here? 37545 Do you think I am not acquainted,"Christina went on,"with the story of Lucretia?
37545Do you think I do n''t know what I am doing when I say that? 37545 Do you think it''s you I care about?"
37545Do you think my brother could rest? 37545 Do you think that is news to me?"
37545Do you understand that I, too, have a signal and these fellows will come at it? 37545 Do you want him murdered outright?"
37545Do you? 37545 Do you?"
37545East? 37545 Father living?"
37545Filippi Alieni, are you duly grateful that you, an outsider, are admitted to the Council of the Arm of Justice?
37545Filippi Alieni, have you anything to say before you sleep?
37545Filippi Alieni, twelve years ago was it not you who were admitted to another council? 37545 Filippi Alieni?"
37545Find anything?
37545For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne-- Is it?
37545For whom do you take us? 37545 Fortunately,"said Christina,"Mr. Herrick had told me before any one could possibly interfere.--The police think they''re genuine, then?"
37545From a chair, then, or the couch?
37545From your intimate knowledge of Mr. Ingham''s affairs you know of no one, either with a grudge to satisfy or a profit to be made, by his death?
37545Go, ca n''t you? 37545 H''m!--Do either of you know what happened at the Tombs this afternoon?"
37545Had the death been instantaneous?
37545Hands of the Arm,Beppo adjured,"is she not now at our meeting- place?
37545Has Denny retained you, then?
37545Have I won?
37545Have you any news?
37545Have you got that letter?
37545He looked so unlike other people?
37545He often played late at night?
37545He said,''What is it?''
37545He says,''Get him to pass me his word to shelter us or what will you give-- what will you give for news of Nancy Cornish?''
37545He was dead on your arrival?
37545He went right into the room?
37545He?
37545Heaven help us, of what are we made? 37545 Her?
37545Him?
37545How about that realistic tone?
37545How can I? 37545 How can you get it?"
37545How could I face Chris?
37545How could I? 37545 How did you make that choice, dear sir, amidst the goblets?"
37545How did you pass it?
37545How did you yourself escape?
37545How do you know that?
37545How do you know what she told him?
37545How long should you, as a physician, say it was since death occurred?
37545How should I know?
37545How the devil and all did she get out?
37545How was he dressed, then?
37545How was she dressed?
37545How, at such a time, among such dangers, did you dare to throw it away?
37545How?
37545I ask you, how could it, with that battle- ax? 37545 I do n''t know if you are aware, Mr. Herrick,"Ingham''s father had said to him,"that my son was engaged to be married?"
37545I should be shadowed, then?
37545I think you''d best take the end, Mr. Kane; me and Mr. Herrick the front windows-- Lord, who''s this?
37545I wonder, will you shake hands?
37545I''ll be there.--But have these people really any secret? 37545 I''ve got to know now-- what''s she to do with you?
37545If Denny loved her and went there on her account did he shoot down Ingham before her eyes? 37545 If I left here should I be arrested?"
37545If this door shut behind any one with a bang, could the catch slip of itself?
37545Ill? 37545 In 4-B?"
37545In Brazil? 37545 In what age are we living that I am expected to enjoy an execution?
37545In what way?
37545In your professional opinion, then, he did not commit suicide?
37545Is it possible?
37545Is it so much as that to you?
37545Is it,he asked,"the silver bracelet?"
37545Is she not a firebrand, eh? 37545 Is that her writing?"
37545Is this a joke?
37545It did n''t strike you that he was purposely delaying?
37545It was a woman''s voice?
37545It was you, then?
37545It''s funny, is n''t it? 37545 Jealous of anyone in particular, Miss Hope?"
37545Kane?
37545Locked in, of course?
37545May one ask a lady''s age?
37545Miss Hope?
37545Miss Hope?
37545Mr. Coroner,she said,"I wish to correct a false impression; may I?"
37545Mr. Herrick''s terrible shadow?
37545Mr. Herrick, are you absolutely sure that this was not until after the shooting?--this forward dip?
37545Mr. Herrick, why, on the morning after the murder, did you take down Miss Hope''s photograph from over your desk?
37545Mrs. Deutch, what did all this suggest to you? 37545 Mrs. Deutch, what is it that you know about that night?
37545Mrs. Deutch? 37545 Mrs. Hope opposed the marriage?"
37545My God, then,he cried,"what is it?
37545Name?
37545Name?
37545Nancy,--that murder-- my opening-- my danger-- aren''t they enough?
37545Neither can you tell us, I suppose,--it would straighten matters out greatly-- who that caller was?
37545News?
37545No fire- escapes, you say?
37545No; have n''t you?
37545No? 37545 None of it, then--?"
37545Nor since?
37545Nor that she had not?
37545Not where?
37545Not white, then? 37545 Now look here, Joe Patrick, how do you know she did n''t?
37545Occupation?
37545Occupation?
37545Occupation?
37545Odd?
37545Of course, you understood what had happened? 37545 Of your own suggestion?"
37545Officer, ca n''t you see it''s suicide?
37545Oh, Bryce, you wo n''t let them take me away? 37545 Oh, do n''t you care to sit out the show?"
37545Oh, is n''t there?
37545Oh, she need n''t bring her shadow, need she?
37545Oh, why was she ever brought away? 37545 On the night of August fifth did you hear any unusual sounds?"
37545On the same floor?
37545On the whole,said he, deliberately,"keep your confidences to yourself, ca n''t you?
37545On what floor?
37545On your honor, now, Herrick, you would n''t keep it from me? 37545 Only tell me,"he said,"what can I do?"
37545Only two rooms?
37545Pretty thin, is n''t it?
37545Remember that even to you I do n''t admit my-- what''s the phrase? 37545 Shall I treat you to a bit of ancient history; shall I reconstruct for you the movements of Miss Hope on the night of the fourth of August?"
37545She had more than the one eye, had n''t she?
37545She had-- what?
37545She was willing to go with him, then? 37545 She would, standing at the window, have been some five or six feet from the piano, where Ingham sat?"
37545Sir?
37545Sit down, wo n''t you?
37545Smoke?
37545So that it was partly Mr. Ingham, himself, in his insistence upon your renouncing your profession, who broke the engagement?
37545So that you have really no theory as to how this terrible thing happened?
37545So that you really have no witness but your mother, Miss Hope, that you returned to the house, and no witness whatever that you remained in it?
37545So that you thought you saw Miss Hope''s shadow?
37545So that you would n''t recognize hers if you saw it?
37545So that, by no possibility,said the coroner,"could this be yours?"
37545Spik Inglese, Alieni?
37545Stout?
37545Success?
37545Tell you what?
37545Tell you?
37545Ten Euyck? 37545 That extraordinary movement, then, did not leave upon you a very distinct impression?"
37545That was n''t a taxi? 37545 That''s what you think, is it?"
37545The Italians must have got clear away with Denny, but why did they take so much pains? 37545 The best friend she ever had?"
37545The boarding- house did n''t succeed either, then?
37545The boy?
37545The little pitted speck--What was that?
37545The mark of Cain?
37545The shadow? 37545 The woman''s voice?"
37545Then it came out-- that no one knew-- that people were saying it was-- murder--"Do you believe that, Miss Hope?
37545Then no one saw you re- enter the house?
37545Then since you were the last to leave, explain how you were able to bolt the door behind you?
37545Then the proprietress, here, is n''t your daughter?
37545Then your mother,he said,"is the only person who can corroborate your story of how you passed that evening?"
37545Then, Miss Hope-- was not in Ingham''s rooms that night?
37545There was never, of course, any grounds for this jealousy?
37545They come?
37545They knew I was living here? 37545 They think--?"
37545This was not known till Christina was fourteen?
37545Through the''phone?
37545To- night?
37545Turned east?
37545Unstan''Inglese verra goood?
37545Wade, have you got Mrs. Deutch? 37545 Warn you?
37545Was he light or dark?
37545Was he tall?
37545Was it Denny?
37545Was it a man''s voice or a woman''s?
37545Was it angry, excited?
37545Was that other voice the voice of a man?
37545Was the engagement ever broken before and patched up again?
37545Was the suit light or dark?
37545Was there any love affair between you and Miss Hope which angered Nancy Cornish?
37545Well, and then, when she took down her hand?
37545Well, and then?
37545Well, are you crazy, then? 37545 Well, but why not?
37545Well, did the night- elevator- boy connect you at once?
37545Well, if you made it into a play,Wheeler persisted,"would the mother or the daughter be the star- part?"
37545Well, now I''m extremely sorry to recall a painful experience, but when and how did you first hear of Mr. Ingham''s death?
37545Well, then, for simply what you know I have?
37545Well, then, you can have no objection to repeating the name and address of Miss Hope''s Italian friends?
37545Well, to get back to more congenial topics!--The lady who was not Miss Hope-- you would know her, I presume?
37545Well, was it brown, gray, navy- blue?
37545Well, you see how I had to ask you, Mr. Herrick, not to say that lady''s shadow made you think any of an actress?
37545Well,said Denny, turning his eyes toward Herrick, without raising his head,"you!--you''re not a criminal!--are you going to stand for that?"
37545Well,said the old woman,"why do n''t you take her?
37545Well,she said,"have I made myself fine?
37545Well? 37545 Well?
37545Well? 37545 Well?"
37545Well?
37545Were there ladies at these supper- parties?
37545What am I to ask you, my poor Nancy? 37545 What are you doing?"
37545What are you driving at?
37545What are you thinking of?
37545What are you trying to do with me?
37545What could I do?
37545What did she do when you fired?
37545What did you do when you came in?
37545What did you do, Dr. Andrews, when you heard the shot?
37545What did you say, awhile ago, about Kane''s office?
37545What do you hear?
37545What do you know?
37545What do you mean?
37545What do you mean?
37545What do you think of that? 37545 What do you think?"
37545What do you want here?
37545What does he matter to you?
37545What else could it be? 37545 What has he done that he should be mixed up with my house and my life?
37545What is he screaming about? 37545 What is it?
37545What is it?
37545What made you think there was a party going on in 4-B?
37545What time was this?
37545What was it?
37545What was your idea of the whole business?
37545What was your trouble with Nancy Cornish?
37545What''s become of my fellows?
37545What''s that got to do with anything?
37545What''s that?
37545What''s this?
37545What''s this?
37545What? 37545 What?
37545What?
37545What?
37545Whatever does this mean? 37545 When did this engagement take place?"
37545When did you last see him alive?
37545When?
37545When?
37545Where are some loose clothes for her?
37545Where are they? 37545 Where did it come from?"
37545Where did you hear that?
37545Where is she now? 37545 Where is she, then?"
37545Where is she? 37545 Where is she?"
37545Where to?
37545Where''ll I begin?
37545Where''s that woman, now?
37545Where,asked she slowly,"does she sleep?"
37545While you were out did any neighbor see you? 37545 Who is that?"
37545Who is your enemy and mine and your children''s children''s?
37545Who owns this place?
37545Who pays for every mouthful that is eaten here and for everything that is brought into this house? 37545 Who says so?"
37545Who was this friend?
37545Who''s that with you?
37545Who? 37545 Whom do you mean by traitors?"
37545Why did n''t you speak to her, then? 37545 Why does n''t she make some sign?"
37545Why not-- since he says he''s innocent?
37545Why not?
37545Why not?
37545Why not?
37545Why should n''t they? 37545 Why, Mr. Herrick, what could any one say?
37545Will you ask for it every night, aloud, before them all, and after you have mailed the letter will you take-- enough? 37545 Will?
37545Willingly?
37545With all the police in New York looking for her, where is she?
37545With whom, then, can I fight? 37545 Yes, I am, I--""Mr. Ingham''s and one other?"
37545Yes?
37545Yes?
37545Yes?
37545Yes?
37545Yet do I ask to leave the room? 37545 You believe that the body was dragged there, after death?"
37545You came straight home?
37545You could n''t, of course, hear his direction?
37545You did n''t know him?
37545You do not sleep in the same room with your mother?
37545You do not think that the deceased could have crawled or staggered there, after the shooting?
37545You do not wish to make peace with God?
37545You know who she is then?
37545You like it then?
37545You mean by''we''yourself and the law?
37545You mean to tell me you do n''t know she has?
37545You mean, of course, the Arm of Justice?
37545You mean--?
37545You meant just now--?
37545You merely''among friends''allow its inference?
37545You never heard of it?
37545You never saw her wear one in private life?
37545You recognized it then?
37545You remained with the body until the arrival of myself and Doctor Shippe?
37545You rented a new house just as you were going to be married?
37545You saw all that?
37545You took a man upstairs in the middle of the night, without announcing him, whom you knew to be a stranger?
37545You were engaged to be married to Mr. Ingham, Miss Hope?
37545You who know Allegra Alieni, am I she? 37545 You wo n''t save her?"
37545You''d never seen him before?
37545You''ll go to the Governor, yourself, to- morrow? 37545 You''ll keep this appointment?"
37545You''re sure''twas him fired?
37545You''ve been filling her, too, I suppose, with this cock and bull melodrama of suicide if you''re arrested?
37545You''ve had no communication with her since last evening? 37545 You''ve no proofs?
37545You''ve seen the moving- picture?
37545Your name, if you please?
37545Your name?
37545''But,''I said,''how could he be shot by an accident?
37545''Deny it?''
37545''Is he dead?''
37545''Mother,''she said,''what does it matter?
37545''Oh,''I thought,''will some one glance up?
37545''The death of traitors''--My husband, you say?
37545''The ol''earl''s daughter died at my breast''--Didn''t she ever do any of her actin''fur you?
37545''What are these people to me?''
37545''What find I here?
37545''_ Should_ auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?''
37545***** The first thing she woke to was Allegra''s letter and Kane''s question,"Do you know what this document contains?
37545--''Dost fear to ride with me?''"
37545--What are you doing?"
37545343 XIII"WILL YOU WALK INTO MY PARLOR?
37545420"Shall I let her come in?
37545A confederate on the outside?"
37545A dozen?
37545According to Joe Patrick she was the first on the spot.--Was she the last there, too?"
37545After a staggered instant, the coroner asked,"And what became of this lady who ran out into the hall?"
37545After all that he has heard?
37545After all, could she have expected to clear out from a morass like this without a loss?
37545After all, where were you when all New York was looking for you?
37545After the preliminary questions as to name, age, and so forth, he was asked,"You reside in the Van Dam Apartments?"
37545Alieni, does he speak English?"
37545All was in order; Ingham''s hand might have been about to draw those portières, he might have stepped between them to tell-- what?
37545Am I she?"
37545Am I the girl to throw myself away on you for the sake of a bad sister, who has treated me with so much hate?
37545Am I to do theirs, then?
37545Am I to marry for an envelope?"
37545Amen!--What is it?"
37545An''only thing fur you is to jus''lay low an''squirm through.--Yeh goin''to do what yeh can fur that girl out there?"
37545And Herrick asked him in the strangling voice of hate,"Do you usually have ladies meet you here?
37545And I ask her if I write a full confession to the District- Attorney and mail it when things go hard with Will, will that content her?
37545And I hear Ingham say, now all in fury,"Shall I let her come in?
37545And Ingham laughs and says,"You wonder what this injured lady is doing here?
37545And Stan can tell what the detectives say to you, and not to me?
37545And again he was asked--"That gesture which so greatly impressed you-- do you think you could repeat it for us?"
37545And at the back stairway he asks her,"Can we trust the Deutches?"
37545And bearing his token-- that bracelet will do-- to the capo in testa?"
37545And did n''t it occur to you that it might have been the woman who fired?
37545And does n''t Mr. Deutch suffer, occasionally, from a confusion of words?"
37545And does the pure patrician and the representative of high life now lay the cloak of his great name down at my feet?
37545And for what fate was he reserved?
37545And he calls up this girl, whom he knows to be Christina''s dearest friend, and asks her, does she know Christina''s sister?
37545And he said,''A pistol- shot?''
37545And he said,''Do you think somebody has got hurt?''
37545And how can I guess the growing brat will grow so far and high?
37545And how doth she?"
37545And if Christina was Mrs. Pascoe''s child, what had the death of Allegra Hope to do with her?
37545And if so, why?
37545And if so, would n''t you think they had enough on their hands already?
37545And in what nightmare?
37545And in what room or garret or cellar was the printing- press?"
37545And may one ask why?"
37545And no mustache?"
37545And now in God''s name, can you hurry?
37545And she said to him,"You''re the man, I think, who thought a woman was in distress and went to help her?"
37545And she says to me eager, with open mouth,"What can I do?"
37545And she says to me,''Is our friend, Mr. Ingham, at home?''
37545And suddenly,"Christina,"he whispered, while another flash branded itself across his face,"whose kisses were you thinking of?"
37545And that he who wins lives to suppress the traitor- leaving him in the barrel on the wharf, signed with our sign?
37545And the term''basista''?"
37545And then it occurred to him-- did they take him for a blackmailer?
37545And then, poor boy, so far forth as what that goes, what can he do, himself?
37545And through what rent in my admirable behavior will next-- to try your patience-- the real Christina Hope too positively reappear?
37545And to- night or to- morrow, what does it matter?
37545And under what circumstances?
37545And was she not to run away at sunrise with-- and he pointed to Herrick-- an American?
37545And was there nothing but this?"
37545And what deviltry or what despair had driven her to a deed like that?
37545And what do I know about this ring?"
37545And what happens?
37545And what now was he himself to do?
37545And what pretty thing had she ever noticed about old auntie''s house?
37545And what was the first thing he said to you?"
37545And where will your name be then?"
37545And where, then, pray?"
37545And who believes in comic opera?
37545And who was that woman?
37545And why did she leave you?
37545And why try so thin a disguise?"
37545And yet, beside the news of a far- off country, what news could he wring from the Arm of Justice to- morrow for which Herrick need care so much?
37545And you want_ me_ to find her?"
37545And, if he were not looking for Christina, what was he doing there?
37545And, oh, Mr. Bryce, just think how uncontrollable Christina is-- and who will it be next?"
37545And, on the floor in there, was that her work?
37545Andrews?"
37545Anyhow, you do n''t suppose that hussy spends all her time giving signals for murders, do you?"
37545Are n''t you here, with me, and is n''t he down and done for, and out of every race?
37545Are not the eyes of him Pledge of his rank?"
37545Are they really going to tell me something?"
37545Are you not here as the executioners of the great Camorra?
37545Are you-- for her, Mr. Herrick?
37545As good as dead?
37545At any rate, how could that secret find Christina?
37545At this hour?"
37545Because he had to say something, he said--"And you''re taking this in to the police?"
37545Before he repeated,"Do you, then, make no request?"
37545Beppo, let your squeal rise once more and you are suspended for a month.--Have you, then, no wits at all?
37545Between friends, do you believe me?
37545Bryce dear, we''re engaged, are n''t we?
37545But I make out that it''s right to tell it to you.--You remember that night out to Riley''s?"
37545But I''ve won!--What was my second hint?
37545But by whose orders?"
37545But could such an effect be produced by make- up?"
37545But did I?--Were you even then--?
37545But did n''t you gather, nevertheless, some notion of her personality?"
37545But did she know?
37545But do you not choose to risk a few drops and die wriggling-- when, if you are lucky, you may live?
37545But do you think you can make me tell?
37545But does it tell me anything?
37545But does not the favorite slave always tell stories to her master?
37545But he did n''t mention the criminal?
37545But he said,"Have you?"
37545But how could I dream a friend would be going by?
37545But how''s that for the nationality of the three- cornered knife?
37545But if she should seek to injure you and get him back, say to her-- What do you know of the Arm of Justice?
37545But in the meanwhile may not the lady have got word of all this?
37545But is it not possible that when this exacting gentleman is safely across the ocean she may allow herself a little liberty?
37545But is n''t that a sign of something doing between the slums and Broadway?
37545But knew we who he was?
37545But now he said to himself,"Success?"
37545But now, sir, the Italians?"
37545But one Sunday night, my wife says to me,''Ai n''t that little girl as pretty as the one you been telling me about?''
37545But shall we not give a little more?
37545But she said,"Has Allegra been so tender to me that I should lose myself for her?
37545But should not Apollos stay in when it rains?
37545But surely you dined together?
37545But the boy''s devoted to you, is n''t he?"
37545But the shouts of the sheriff''s party--"Got one?"
37545But there has never been, has there, a doctor who was ever wrong?
37545But to pick it up?
37545But to- day, when all the world has seen the shadow- picture, yes-- why not?
37545But what can I do?
37545But what can I do?
37545But what did he see in those empty shadows, and for what did he nerve himself?
37545But what then?
37545But what was I to do?
37545But when was he likely to lose?
37545But when we have no longer anything, we are the masters of terms.--Is this my last night?"
37545But whence came it?
37545But where was our suicide really cut to the bone?
37545But who would think that all the while this monkey girl was looking in the glass of my grace, to steal and steal and steal from me?
37545But you see, now, do n''t you, that she''d never give me away?
37545But you wo n''t take me up, I suppose?''
37545But, after you got him, was your connection with the superintendent immediate?"
37545But, before all and everything, when did he come out?"
37545But, oh, lord, Herrick, who else is going to believe it?
37545But, once more, slays whom?
37545But,--all alone?
37545But-- Allegra?--Allegra?--Alieni?"
37545But-- Christina?"
37545But-- without regret?
37545But-- yet--""What could Deutch have seen that we did n''t see?
37545By the fleeing figure of Mrs. Hope?
37545By what authority did Christina promise to produce her, that very afternoon, at the office of the District Attorney?
37545CHAPTER XIII"WILL YOU WALK INTO MY PARLOR?
37545Can you hear me, Nancy Cornish?"
37545Can you protect yourself?
37545Can you reach those little curtains?
37545Can you tell me that?
37545Can you witness its truth?"
37545Carlo Firenzi, what have you to say?"
37545Christina gave her mother her hand, much as she might have given her a cup of tea and said,"Well, but that is only where your novel begins?"
37545Christina, can I forget that?"
37545Christina, did you?"
37545Christina, will you?"
37545Come where?"
37545Come, Christina, will not that be a reëntry?
37545Come, now?
37545Come,"cried she to Wheeler,"are we going to do our scene?"
37545Could any of these be the plain clothes men, still lingering hopefully about?
37545Could people be giving a party?
37545Curly?"
37545D''you think there''s a bank clerk or a submissive wife that wo n''t recognize her proper atmosphere at a glance?
37545Denny said, aloud,"You overheard those last remarks for which this gentleman raised his voice?"
37545Denny?"
37545Deutch, too; had n''t he suggested something of the kind?
37545Deutch?"
37545Did he tell us he had fled from Naples to this place carrying in his arms a traitor?
37545Did n''t you give him her name?"
37545Did not she to- night meet here in this house her brother Nicola?
37545Did she feel a pressure of his hand?
37545Did she imagine a sharp breath through his whole body, like an outcry, like a pledge?
37545Did that party ask for Miss Hope in the first place?
37545Did the basista conceal when Nicola was made a capo in the Honorable Society?
37545Did they know what they were doing when they pushed her to the wall like this?
37545Did those neat and formal lips often stifle an outcry like this?
37545Did you dare to insinuate that the Arm itself would not have punished had it known?
37545Did you ever hear of an organization called the Arm of Justice?"
37545Did you ever really think I could stoop to such a scene as this to- night for you-- or me?
37545Did you go there by the boat?
37545Did you hear me say if you can help me I sha n''t be ungrateful?
37545Did you really think I did n''t guess what was in this letter?
37545Did you speak to any one?"
37545Did you suppose you could make me ridiculous again?
37545Did you think I meant Deutch?
37545Did you think I was going to sit quiet and let you turn your heel on all of that?
37545Did you think I was to be caught in a trap?
37545Did you think the Arm of Justice had grown too weak to punish?
37545Do I do you credit?
37545Do I please you?"
37545Do I thus weep like a woman?
37545Do n''t you wonder what they do with these here, Filly?
37545Do n''t you?"
37545Do you believe that?"
37545Do you by any chance suppose I should not tell what bait I had from the Inspector of Police?
37545Do you know how I comforted myself?"
37545Do you know how you can keep me agreeable?
37545Do you know if Miss Christina Hope owns a red wig?"
37545Do you know what he never would tell me-- how that door came to be bolted?"
37545Do you know what it is to be possessed by a mania?"
37545Do you know what many of your friends are saying?
37545Do you know what one''s like?
37545Do you know where you are?
37545Do you mean to tell me that he has ever forgotten that?
37545Do you mean, to tell me that it was a man who made that remark about my temper?
37545Do you remember he got there late through bein''knocked over by''n automobile?"
37545Do you remember the torn card of the Italian Bryce Herrick had to kill?
37545Do you think I did n''t know you sent Nicola into that post- office to steal it?
37545Do you think I want to play the young lady myself?
37545Do you think she''d like to see Wheeler hanged?"
37545Do you think that would be soothing to her?
37545Do you think you have not taught me?
37545Do you wish to bring all the new world about your ears for the wrong thing?
37545Do you, then, wish to disobey?"
37545Do you?
37545Do you?"
37545Do you?"
37545Does he really know, I wonder, that sometimes it''s the coldest of heart who can be made to turn his ships at Actium?--''What can he do?''
37545Does it not, in wisdom, leave me in place to address you?
37545Does n''t that content you?"
37545Does one man send a piece of ribbon to another, and ask him to hang it out of his window?
37545Does our consistent hero refuse to go?
37545Dost fear to ride with me?
37545Doubt you that the Society will have_ some_ atonement?
37545Eh, me, my poor soul, is it as bad as that?"
37545Eh?
37545Even if she should meet, so far away, with men of the Americans, what does she know?"
37545Even then her indifference was so great she almost yawned as"Who has told you of him?"
37545Execute their orders, their sentences?
37545Expect to be believed?
37545Firenzi and Pachotto ran to examine the jugs, voting simultaneously for the immunity of the golden scales-- what others?
37545For any fault of hers?
37545For had not he, unworthy, by his deep perception of her become worthy?
37545For instance, what use had she not made of the Deutches?
37545For she is the darling of my heart--""But_ is_ she?"
37545For what have we waited?
37545For what were they afraid Denny would tell?
37545For your protection?
37545Gentlemen, can you not imagine the sensations of that woman?
37545Ghost- color-- was that what she meant?
37545Gold, silver, and lead-- can''t you guess?"
37545Good heavens, says common sense, in what century are we living?
37545Good heavens, what was his novel to him, now?
37545Had Denny recognized him?
37545Had Nicola gone to borrow rain curtains or some tool?
37545Had he not denied it?
37545Had he seen Joe Patrick rooted upright there, behind his chair, with staring eyes?
37545Had it known, all along, what the shadow on the screen had told him to- day?
37545Had she made Christina break with Ingham, as she had made Denny kill him, by that story of his betrayal of her youth?
37545Had they tried Denny?
37545Has he the only feelings to be considered?
37545Has she any?"
37545Has she been here?"
37545Has she been near you since you''ve been in the Tombs?"
37545Have I not come here to meet you without another soul?
37545Have I not kept my part of the bargain?
37545Have you any theory accounting for the murderer''s escape?"
37545Have you forgotten our coroner?"
37545Have you got any idea?"
37545Have you the least clue?
37545Have you?"
37545He asked them then, quite gravely and clearly,"When-- do you expect-- to catch-- this-- gang?"
37545He at least, I presume, did not remind you of Miss Hope?"
37545He did n''t give himself a dose, after?"
37545He did n''t have any pistol?
37545He heard Stanley saying,"How did Chris ever get mixed up with this lot?
37545He said,"Are those your shoes?"
37545He swallowed once or twice, and then, dropping his dulled eyes, he got out--"When-- did you-- at first--?"
37545He was keen against jail, you remember?"
37545He was n''t forcing her?"
37545He was slender, then?"
37545He''ll be all right, wo n''t he, Bryce, wo n''t he?
37545He, to eat and drink and wile away the time; what was_ she_ doing?
37545Hear anything, Sheriff?"
37545Heavens and earth-- you did n''t swallow that drool, did you?
37545Heavens, what was this?
37545Her feet, sir?
37545Herrick answered with his hand on the knob,"I''m virtually a prisoner, I suppose?"
37545Herrick asked,"Will it always be the first which goes to Wheeler?"
37545Herrick called--"Who''s there?"
37545Herrick cried,"what are you doing here?"
37545Herrick expressed his thanks and added,"About five, then, I may come back?"
37545Herrick growled through his teeth an imprecation that ended in"Hand me a screw- driver, ca n''t you?
37545Herrick heard his own voice saying,"Is she so ill?"
37545Herrick incredulously demanded,"You do n''t deny it?"
37545Herrick made out to translate the message and Kane said,"Ask''em if they''ll send up that investigating committee?"
37545Herrick replied,"Well, what do you think?"
37545Herrick said to the boy beside him,"Can you shoot?"
37545Herrick.--She''s got these emotions in her, I''ll say to myself, and what harm is it she should let''em off?"
37545Herrick?"
37545Herrick?"
37545Herrick?"
37545His troubled apprehension did not believe in that suicide.--What sort of a woman was she?
37545Hope blames herself because last night when Christina did n''t come home-- You did n''t know that?
37545Hope, is n''t it?
37545Hope?"
37545How about that?
37545How about your pretending, at the inquest, not to know who Nancy was?"
37545How came she like this?
37545How can I help what I think?
37545How could I?
37545How could it arrest his attention at a time like this?
37545How could she have passed herself off on the Hopes for a dead child six years older than herself?
37545How could you imagine I would leave him in your hands and never make a fight for it?
37545How could you?
37545How do I know you have n''t lied to me all along?
37545How do you like my trysting- place?
37545How does it get hold of those unhappy secrets that its owners guard like Koh- i- noors?
37545How if this man himself had written the second letter?
37545How it said, 1411--nothing more?
37545How long did they mean to leave him here and why did they leave him here at all?
37545How long do they intend to keep me waiting?
37545How long must they wait?
37545How near, how far?
37545How shall they tell us they can injure our Gumama?
37545How to get them in here?
37545How would you have prevented her from going up?''"
37545How, in the first place, did she ever come to know such a secret?
37545How?"
37545I asked her the one thing:''Who did it?''
37545I could let things wear on me, too, if I wanted to!--What are those?"
37545I do n''t beli--""Polly,"said Herrick,"what are you talking about?
37545I do n''t suppose you''re as hipped about her good looks as I am?
37545I meant that this chap Denny was never a very lucky fellow--""_ Was?_""But that never was anything unluckier than his consenting to leave the Tombs."
37545I never meant to marry-- but-- Christina, shall it be that?"
37545I said,''At Ingham''s?
37545I said,''What kind of an accident?''
37545I said,''where did those come from?''"
37545I tell him I''ll curse the last breath he draws-- but can I stop him?
37545I wonder, were some of the Puritans really like that?
37545I''m ridiculous to you, Christina, but who got it for you?
37545I, who am so unlucky, what am I to do?
37545If I do not fight the next duel how shall I ever get to be a member?"
37545If I gave so much to the guard in the Tombs, what did I give to buy off these friends of yours?
37545If I had friends to speak for me do you think I would have them subjected to what Mr. Deutch has borne for me to- day?
37545If he guessed such a thing do you think Denny would not keep silence?
37545If she did n''t resemble Miss Hope, at least how did she differ from her?"
37545If she were a danger even there would not the Signora Alieni have destroyed that danger?"
37545If there is violence-- why not?
37545If we condemn ourselves, can we save Nicola Pascoe?
37545If we only knew who Alieni is?
37545If you ask me, why should she?
37545If you consider it a cage, is it sufficiently gilded?"
37545If you did n''t know she was not at home, why did n''t you keep it?"
37545Ill?
37545Indeed it would be a favor.--My dear, ca n''t you persuade him?"
37545Ingham!--why Ingham?
37545Ingham?"
37545Ingham?"
37545Ingham?--that he may have been struck and thrown against the piano?"
37545Is he the man to forget that?"
37545Is it just dark?
37545Is it possible you do n''t know what he found?
37545Is it?"
37545Is n''t it a mercy Jim did n''t destroy it?
37545Is n''t she one to avenge herself in advance?
37545Is n''t that true?"
37545Is she a girl to stop short of the desperate in preventing him?
37545Is she?"
37545Is there not a sentence that will strike at us and, perhaps, through us at her?
37545Is your own, Bryce?
37545Is yours, Will?
37545Is, then, the sentence of the Mother Society the only sentence that we have to fear?
37545It had no connection with them?"
37545It is true, Alieni, is it not so, that you have never suppressed a life?"
37545It ought to be in to- night''s late editions, so by now, in one spirit or the other, this town''s out after her like a hound!--Eh?
37545It was Miss Hope, was it not?"
37545It was a name of note but Herrick bewilderedly exclaimed"Miss Hope''s manager?"
37545It was not till then that, lifting a face of weary dismay,"Are we still fighting?"
37545It was one o''clock or thereabouts that Mr. Ingham began to play?"
37545It was there, on that shade?"
37545It''s a pity we ca n''t pretend to be engaged-- it would interest every one so!--How about money, Will?"
37545It''s the superintendent''s business--"Had the one shot done the trick?
37545It''s to clear my name?
37545Joe looked rather at sea, and the coroner added,"You have said from the beginning, that a lady called upon Mr. Ingham the night of his death?"
37545Knows she not that?
37545Knows she not that?
37545Later, Herrick said jealously to the girl,"Who_ was_ the best friend you ever had?"
37545Lemon?
37545Let heem tak''for token-- Whatta she wear?"
37545Life-- freedom-- what else would anybody buy?
37545Lose faith in her?
37545Make him hurry!--You heard no cries-- no?"
37545Make my office the tool of cowards and criminals worse than those I convict?
37545May I come in?"
37545May she not keep even the memory of my son?"
37545Miss Christina, why did you holler when you saw the scarf?
37545Mr. Herrick is not one of these deaf Yankees-- don''t you remember what he wrote about the music in Berlin?"
37545Mr. Herrick, do n''t you feel de trop?"
37545Mr. Ingham''s shadow?
37545Must they go frothing on in this man- hunt?
37545Nancy--?"
37545No defense?"
37545No, nothing?
37545No?
37545No?
37545No?
37545No?"
37545Nor baby blue?"
37545Nor distrust?
37545Nor even to a gentleman who tried, and failed, at murder.--How much did you give the man in the Tombs?"
37545Nor rose color, I presume?
37545Nothing at all?"
37545Nothing happened to arouse your anxiety?
37545Now, does anything strike you?
37545Now-- Mrs. Deutch, what was that old secret in the life of the Hopes which turned the daughter into a cynic and a hater of social conventions?
37545Of what did you think you were the victims?"
37545Of what?"
37545Oh, Mr. Herrick, why should she mention them?
37545Oh, friends of my blood, can she not tell_ that name_?
37545Oh, heaven, what would it buy here?
37545Oh, my good friend, what''s the use of pretending?
37545Oh, my poor mother, ca n''t you see that whatever happens we have done with respectability?
37545Only the one thing was unknown-- Who had contrived to bolt the door?
37545Only, how long before she would have finished with it?
37545Or did she run out, as she suggested at the inquest, and Denny shoot Ingham as he turned to follow her?
37545Or did they mean to murder you, really?
37545Or is it dark with men?"
37545Or met again during the next twenty- four hours?"
37545Or was it a raincoat?
37545Or what a clear look your eyes have got?
37545Or yet his Destroying Angel?
37545Or-- what had ceased to go on?
37545Or_ rid_ of her?"
37545Ought I to be innocent?
37545Pays what?
37545Pays whom?
37545Peter Winthrop Brewster Cuyler Ten Euyck and the girl in the moving- picture show?
37545Raising his pistol, maybe, with one hand--""While he played the piano with the other?"
37545Sally, the poor working- girl, what are you going to do to the critics, that still sleep unconscious?
37545Shall I tell at last what you are, through and through--?"
37545Shall she herself be obliged to slay the serpent that we have fed and made strong?
37545She began to sob more quietly, until she suddenly burst forth,"Where is she, then?
37545She bloomed, indeed, hedged with all proprieties in the sound of Wheeler''s voice saying,"But must Miss Hope appear at the inquest?"
37545She did n''t melt away, I suppose?"
37545She had taken my youth and my faith and my kindness with the world, and killed them, and then she tried to kill him too!--Love him?
37545She is in one of her tantrums and all about Mr. Wheeler-- a fine actor, of course, but why bother?"
37545She lied to Will about Nancy and Jim Ingham.--Come, is n''t the balance getting heavy?
37545She made a promise to ask, of her own accord, for sleep; but then she is ill and when she is well again she has some notion and she will not-- why?
37545She rose, and pointing out of the window she said to Herrick--"You sat here?
37545She says,"Will you let me keep the letter myself and mail it myself?"
37545She who is so sought by the police, is it to the police she shall tell her story?"
37545She''s alone, is n''t she?"
37545Should you know him again if you saw him?"
37545Should you recognize it, do you think, if you heard it again?"
37545Silver-- hadn''t he heard them whispering about silver?
37545Sin?
37545Since at that very moment my hand was on the door?
37545Sir, sir, have you any news?"
37545So that Wheeler said,"Good lord, man, do n''t you know your own name?"
37545So that he was surprised when she said to him,"Oh, sir, where have you been?
37545So there may have been two or three persons besides Mr. Ingham, and there may have been only one?"
37545So what''ll you give for what I know?"
37545So, where was she?
37545Speak, ca n''t you?
37545Sugar, Mr. Herrick?
37545Suppose that some one whom-- Bryce?"
37545Suppose the life were not knocked out of him in the next five minutes, what use was there in going on with a useless pistol?
37545Take her, leave her; what was it to him?
37545Taking a violent hold on himself,"Do you realize--"he demanded,"what you''re admitting?"
37545Tell me what all this can be to her?"
37545Ten Euyck said quickly,"You do n''t know who killed Ingham?"
37545That brief revelation of rash love-- what was there in that?
37545That fan-- can''t they start it?"
37545That gross, silly sprawl of the limbs!--was it those hands that had called forth angelic music?
37545That it might have been a man''s shadow--?"
37545That the door''s locked?
37545That was it, Will?
37545That you tell me you have hired?
37545That you''re safe in my arms?
37545The Arm of Justice warns Mr. James Ingham--("Is this a joke?")
37545The Parmesan, now visibly measuring strength with Mr. Gumama, responded merely,"What is it, Beppo?"
37545The agreeable gang your sister commands-- did you think it was in your pay for to- night?
37545The coroner, cursing the sympathy of the situation, forced himself to a commiserating,"Did she say how he died?"
37545The extreme nonchalance of Herrick''s voice shook a little as he remarked,"That''s up to you, is n''t it?"
37545The first thing he said to me was,''At what time did Mrs. Hope inform you of her daughter''s absence?
37545The first thing she said to him was--"Is there a play in it?"
37545The other man replied softly into the darkness,"You mean, I''ve implicated Christina?"
37545The outside door closed after him, and she said to the Inspector,"There is something you wish me to identify?"
37545The yacht sails at sunrise?"
37545Then Ingham says,"Well, if you did n''t wish her to have done with you, my dear fellow, why did you throw her over for this married lady?"
37545Then a crisper tone asked pleasantly,"Mr. Herrick?
37545Then he asked, how did he know?
37545Then this clinging, this devoted mother did not want her daughter found!--"She said nothing more than this?"
37545Then, becoming aware of herself sitting on the steps, and of her mother and Herrick standing before her,"''Have we no chears?''"
37545Then, recollecting,"What made you so certain it was suicide?"
37545Then,"Young gentleman,"said Mrs. Deutch,"you love my Christina, is it not so?"
37545There is a slang phrase, Christina-- do you really think you can get away with it?"
37545There lay her theater; what stroke could be so heavy as to drive her from that?
37545There was evidently no love lost between the types, particularly when the first glance persisted,"You got nothing out of him?"
37545They all turned their attention greedily to Herrick as he came up, and the nearest man said,"Have they got him?"
37545They hid the friend of Allegra Alieni behind the window-- how shall they tell us her friends are not their friends?
37545They might be less than human, but he and they were still living creatures; and, in ten minutes, what would he be?
37545This gentleman, had you ever seen him before?"
37545Through what snares did he clumsily struggle to make his way?
37545Till he heard Stanley say,"And if that Pascoe Arm- of- Justice gang have run away and yet come back, where did they run to?"
37545To a house I never saw before?
37545Traps-- did you say?
37545Turning his head he responded,"Where''s the weapon?"
37545Twenty?"
37545Two?
37545Was Ingham a man to refrain from threatening to send his revelations, first of all, to a man who had treated him so cavalierly?
37545Was he going to turn out a man?
37545Was he too late?
37545Was he trying to see if I''d lie to him?
37545Was it any wonder, eh, that the pulse of your life changed when you saw a shadow on the blind?
37545Was it because she read the tender vowing of his thought that she had a little ceased to weep?
37545Was n''t it Stanley who wanted to know what hold such people had on Chris?
37545Was n''t that a queer thing, now?
37545Was not this the very figure that last night he had seen fling out an arm in unexampled passion and grace?
37545Was she a very young lady?"
37545Was she herself once that girl?"
37545Was she thinking of Denny then?
37545Was the whole of Joe''s testimony as valueless as this?
37545Was this his Diana of the Winds?
37545Was this what covered Ten Euyck''s complacent coldness to the other sex?
37545We have come a long way since then, but have you forgotten?
37545We know perfectly well that some girl''s despair may have fired that shot, that if she had a brother or a lover-- Can''t you stop them, Mr. Herrick?
37545Well, Christina, I am satisfied with your preparations for me; do you approve mine for you?
37545Well, Miss Hope?"
37545Well, and how about me?
37545Well, and if not?--What does it matter?"
37545Well, had he a beard or a mustache?"
37545Well, have they caught her?"
37545Well, on this occasion, how many voices were there?"
37545Well, then, Stan, where was Justice''s typewriter?
37545Well, then, if you come here against my will, is that my fault?
37545Well, what I''m gettin''at is, would yeh dare do this?
37545Well, what price the Queen of the Gipsies, dear, as a nice young lady?
37545Well-- what''s the use?"
37545Well?"
37545Were Chigi and Pepe caught in the fire?
37545What apartment did the gentleman have whom you took up to the fourth floor?
37545What are we all afraid of?"
37545What are you waiting for now?"
37545What are you waiting for?"
37545What can I do?"
37545What can I do?"
37545What can I do?"
37545What can I think of any shame or sorrow that touches Allegra but that this is what the world and her own family have made of her?
37545What can I think of my poor mother but that her weakness forsook and denied her child to please the world?
37545What can it be?
37545What could that have to do with the shimmer of a dummy pistol, scratched upon whose golden surface Herrick once more confronted the initial"C"?
37545What did he look like?"
37545What did it feel like, dear sir, that check?
37545What did she like best?
37545What do we inevitably find in the pasts of all very young, very beautiful and very successful actresses?
37545What do you know?"
37545What do you mean,--you do n''t care about appearing innocent any longer?"
37545What do you owe her?
37545What do you see?"
37545What do you see?"
37545What do you think of my thread?"
37545What does a lot of gab matter?
37545What does all this matter to me?
37545What does he think I''ve done with her?
37545What does it mean?
37545What does that look like to you?
37545What good to it or to the Society did you expect of this?"
37545What had become of Stanley?
37545What had brought her into his dreams?
37545What has she got clutched in her hand?"
37545What have I done?
37545What if there should be a danger deeper than the traitor?
37545What is it to you?
37545What is it?"
37545What is it?"
37545What is this thing?
37545What kind of hold_ can_ they have on her?"
37545What kind of voice was it?
37545What personal peculiarity of his was she studying?
37545What say?"
37545What sound would be the last before the deluge?
37545What use is it to work, to struggle, to be beautiful, and to have nothing?
37545What was coming?
37545What was going on in there?
37545What was he remembering now?
37545What was the meaning in the case of this dead baby?
37545What was the other-- gold?
37545What was the sense of it, if it meant anything else?
37545What were they going to do with him?
37545What were they going to make him do now?
37545What were you doing on the evening of the fourth of August-- the evening of his death?"
37545What will she do for us?"
37545What''d she yell out like that for?"
37545What''s it to her, if you''re caught?
37545What''s its source of information?
37545What''s that balcony?
37545What''s the answer?"
37545What''s the clue?
37545What''s to do, now?"
37545What, the poor fellow persisted, was there to tell?
37545What?
37545What_ did_ they try to do with him when he was first imprisoned in the Tombs?
37545When McGarrigle asked the superintendent,"Any way we can get a look in?"
37545When the chauffeur turned and said to her, in surprise,"You all alone?"
37545When was he going to see Maria Rosa again?
37545When you come down to it, what can any uv us do?
37545When you let him out of the elevator, which way did he turn?"
37545When you were looking for a poor gull, did you cast eyes on Christina Hope?
37545Where and how-- in God''s name, how!--had she fled?
37545Where can she be?"
37545Where did the coroner get his certainty?
37545Where have you been?
37545Where is she, and where is she?
37545Where is she?
37545Where is she?
37545Where is she?"
37545Where is she?"
37545Where is she?"
37545Where is she?"
37545Where was it?
37545Where were you?"
37545Where''s Miss Hope?"
37545Wherever did she get them?
37545While that one there slobbers do I wish to die?
37545Who broke the engagement?"
37545Who had found him out?
37545Who makes your living for you?"
37545Who thinks to be faithful to Nicola Pascoe, is Nicola Pascoe faithful to him?
37545Who tortured Jim?
37545Who was he to have judged her?--to- day or last night?
37545Who would credit, now, that he did not believe in her flight?
37545Whose blood did this stand for-- whose?
37545Why could n''t I?"
37545Why did they wish to silence him except for what he could tell of a certain lady?"
37545Why do you distract a poor girl from her work?
37545Why gray?
37545Why had Nancy disappeared a few hours before the shot; who had said, in Ingham''s room,"Ask Nancy Cornish,"and to whom had they said it?
37545Why had he not been finished and done with?
37545Why had she fainted at the sight of Nancy Cornish''s hair and what strange bond linked Nancy with Ingham''s murder?
37545Why had the letter not been sent?
37545Why not a dual rôle?
37545Why not see if I''ve thrown her under the bench?"
37545Why not?"
37545Why she should come here, in the middle of the night, to warn you?
37545Why should I fash myself over a man with a personality like a pair of shears?
37545Why should I wish for anything so horrible?"
37545Why should it amuse me to have people tortured?
37545Why should not the prisoner Alieni play at the game of his wife?"
37545Why should she be sent to Brazil?
37545Why should they suffer more than he?
37545Why should they think such a thing?"
37545Why should you confide it to_ her_?"
37545Why would n''t you tell me?"
37545Why, it''s different,--can''t yeh see, Filly?--if she asks fur it herself-- it''s different, ai n''t it?
37545Why, that was the motto he had taken for his novel?
37545Why, you could n''t have seen her so very plain, now could you?"
37545Why, you know Miss Hope-- you know her name?"
37545Why--""Was n''t it enough for you, yourself?"
37545Why?
37545Why?"
37545Will anybody believe me?
37545Will it be necessary to add to her grief by telling her that, at the very last, he was entertaining--?
37545Will not the world be vanquished, then?"
37545Will she not be pleased by a little more zeal on our part, while still we are ourselves?
37545Will some one guess?''
37545Will you show me again to the Camorra?"
37545Will you swear?"
37545Willing had nothing whatever to do with Mr. Ingham''s death?"
37545Willing is perfectly ridiculous--""Is it?"
37545Willing, had you ever heard it before?"
37545Willing, whose was that voice?"
37545Willing.--When you told your husband that you thought you recognized that voice, exactly what did you say?"
37545With him?
37545With those words did she not seal her own fate?
37545Without help from the law could he make her speak?
37545Wonder what he''s hit the trail so hard for?
37545Would anybody believe in my innocence after that?
37545Would it never spring the bolt?
37545Would the Americans come out, each one, upon the second terrace?--bringing, also, the dead and wounded, till Gumama shall tell us there are no more?
37545Would you like some supper, now?
37545Would you like to go to your room a moment?
37545Would you oblige me, Miss Hope, by tying the ribbon out of the window?
37545Yeh know what he is-- can anybody stop him?
37545Yes?
37545Yet the form-- the form?
37545Yet you must often have seen an actress do so?"
37545You are certain you heard at least two voices?"
37545You do n''t doubt its being genuine?"
37545You do n''t get my life unless you give me hers--""_ What?_"The great gasp broke into a buzz.
37545You do n''t know, I suppose, that two months ago, I expected to marry Nancy Cornish?"
37545You do n''t mean she was a Cyclops?"
37545You do wish to befriend me?
37545You have n''t forgotten that?"
37545You knew her then?
37545You knew it was only day before yesterday he got back from Europe?"
37545You knew she quarreled with her mother about Ten Euyck?
37545You know I''ve been pretty well through, all these weeks, is n''t that so?--Oh, take her away, wo n''t you?"
37545You know nothing, young sir?
37545You miserable, gabbling fools, did you think your Arm of Justice was her friend?
37545You never saw her?"
37545You remember, the policeman who went in there found that the windows exactly-- do you call it''tallied''?"
37545You think_ you_ ever have a sister like that?"
37545You understand?"
37545You will need it at once?
37545You would not expect to see your mother, or your sister, or any lady of your own class, make such a gesture?
37545You''ll be there?"
37545You''ll burn it?"
37545You''re all full of suggestions, but where is she?
37545You''re my friend, to pull me through and make friends for me, is n''t that so?
37545You''ve no idea where she is?"
37545You, Herrick, the sheriff and I and five men-- can we hold this house?"
37545You, who were brother in the law to Nicola Ansello, were not you in Naples received into the bosom of the Honorable Society?"
37545You,"to Kane,"you that are so clever, have you any explanation at all?
37545Your career as a criminal, your career as a shining light, they are both at an end!--And why?
37545Your friends, the Inghams?
37545Your legal mind does n''t quarrel with his being hard pushed in that direction?
37545Your side over mine!--Why did you try?
37545[ Illustration:"Mr. Coroner,"she said,"I wish to correct a false impression; may I?"]
37545[ Illustration:"Shall I let her come in?
37545_ Was he?_"What yeh got up yer sleeve?"
37545_ Was he?_"What yeh got up yer sleeve?"
37545_ Your_ sister?
37545he said to Herrick with a sudden shrillness,"Is it?"
37545he said;"are you game for it?"
37545he thought again, as he might have thought"Turkish toweling?"
37545queried Christina, swinging round from the piano,"Is she?"
37545she breathed,"what shall I do?
37545to have exacted from her a line of conduct?
37545to have tried to force upon her the motives and the standards of tame, of ordinary women?
37545was it possible she did n''t see what she was doing?
37545your admirer, Wheeler?
37545your poor fool of a Herrick?
57236Ai n''t we all friends together? 57236 Am I not forced to?"
57236Am I not here asking you to let me off?
57236Am I not ridiculous? 57236 Am I to give up my job at Dunsany''s?"
57236Am I to send these orders out?
57236And that is?
57236And you-- you have told her this story?
57236Anything good to read?
57236Anything more?
57236Anything more?
57236Anything new?
57236Are n''t they lovely?
57236Are n''t you going to the country?
57236Are n''t you-- aren''t you going to congratulate me?
57236Are these the lost pearls?
57236Are they in the gang?
57236Are we quite alone?
57236Are you going to meet your friends to- night?
57236Are you going to pass me by?
57236Are you in love with him, too?
57236Are you prepared to risk something choice in diamonds or pearls?
57236Are you sure he loves me still?
57236Are you very busy at present?
57236Bank account?
57236But I do n''t understand,said the young fellow,"what did you want to sell them to him for?
57236But ai n''t the stones all cut different?
57236But his bank account?
57236But how about the kidnapping?
57236But how did the pearls get in his safe?
57236But how do I know what is bad and good to you?
57236But how?--where? 57236 But if you have a clear case what did you run for?"
57236But should n''t we tell him that it has been stolen?
57236But what was their value?
57236But where will I go?
57236But why?
57236But would n''t the fellows get on to you, I mean the experts you hand the jewels on to?
57236But you never took them there?
57236By wearing them?
57236Can I see her?
57236Can you be ready by to- morrow morning?
57236Can you help me find a place, some place where nobody knows me? 57236 Can you make them?"
57236Cautious, eh?
57236Confidential investigator? 57236 Could it be managed without exciting comment in the company?"
57236Did any one know you were wearing them that night?
57236Did she tell you?
57236Did they know you?
57236Did you find out where they slept?
57236Did you have any special reason for wearing the genuine pearls that night?
57236Did you look in the recent obituaries for a clue?
57236Did you notice the locks on the doors?
57236Do n''t you ask references from prospective tenants?
57236Do n''t you like actors?
57236Do n''t you_ care_?
57236Do we ever get quite to the bottom of anything?
57236Do you believe me capable of such a thing?
57236Do you care to explain where you got it?
57236Do you care to tell me why you waited six weeks before deciding to look for the thief?
57236Do you expect me to believe that? 57236 Do you get me?"
57236Do you know him, too?
57236Do you like him?
57236Do you mean to say you bought Miss Hamerton''s pearls with the idea of presenting her with them, to add to her collection?
57236Do you mind telling me who is your jeweller?
57236Do you need to ask?
57236Do you need to ask?
57236Do you still want me to go on?
57236Do you suppose the thief knew what he was getting?
57236Do you think women are fickle?
57236Do you want to crawl away like a cur and die in a hole?
57236Do?
57236Does she favour him?
57236Does she have you watched?
57236Does she know of your loss?
57236During which time your room was unlocked?
57236Eh?
57236Eh?
57236Eh?
57236Good or bad?
57236Had you two?
57236Has any one connected with the company left since then?
57236Has she?
57236Has your father got half a dozen like you?
57236Have n''t your people told you what happened in my office last night?
57236Have the police been notified?
57236Have you any clues?
57236Have you any reason to suspect her?
57236Have you discovered any new evidence?
57236Have you ever heard of Mrs.--------?
57236Have you got a good memory?
57236Have you just discovered it?
57236Have you promised to marry him?
57236He can go up on Saturday night''s boat, and come back Sunday, ca n''t he?
57236He did n''t earn it, did he? 57236 He''s a charming fellow, is n''t he?"
57236Headquarters?
57236How about Mount?
57236How about a rehearsal?
57236How about it?
57236How about rubies?
57236How can I tell?
57236How can I tell?
57236How could I have sent a telegram? 57236 How could a fellow keep all the different sizes and cuttings handy in his pocket?"
57236How did you arrive at that?
57236How did you do that?
57236How did you first get into this mess?
57236How did you manage it?
57236How do I know what other activities he''s been engaged in?
57236How do you communicate with him?
57236How do you know?
57236How do you know?
57236How is business, Enderby?
57236How long had you had them?
57236How many have you sold?
57236How?
57236How?
57236I fail her?
57236I suppose you are wondering why I sent for you?
57236I suppose you do n''t know where he is?
57236I suppose you have n''t got one you could show me?
57236I suppose you wonder why I could n''t take the position?
57236I wonder why she did n''t turn you adrift altogether?
57236I''ve got to respect my boss, have n''t I?
57236If she bothers you why do n''t you let her go?
57236Investigator? 57236 Irma, do you believe this of me?"
57236Irma, how soon can you replace me in the cast?
57236Is it Faxon?
57236Is it a reliable place?
57236Is it a secret?
57236Is it all right?
57236Is it to be a party?
57236Is there a drugstore in the hotel?
57236Is this the lost necklace?
57236Is this true?
57236It''s a deuce of a note, is n''t it?
57236Know a hotel there?
57236Know what?
57236Knowing that Roland is innocent would you dare to marry Mount?
57236Large gentleman, elegantly- dressed, with a face like a boiled dumpling?
57236Luck?
57236Maybe it would be better never to speak of the matter to her?
57236Me? 57236 Milbourne?"
57236Mount''s pearls? 57236 Mount?
57236Mr. Mount is a member of the association, I suppose?
57236Not bad news?
57236Of course what?
57236Oh!--you would not deceive me?
57236Oh, Irma, how could you?
57236Oh, you did not, you have not?
57236One more question?
57236Pretty snug, eh?
57236Said:''Have you got the keys?'' 57236 Say, Foxy,"asked another admirer,"what was the hardest trick you ever turned?"
57236Shall we sit down?
57236So you''re in the same line?
57236Some fellows have all the luck, do n''t they?
57236Suppose a man had a little money to invest, what would you advise?
57236Sure?
57236Sydney?
57236Taken by itself the letter would not be conclusive, but with the other things----"What other things?
57236That is the eleventh time she has started proceedings, is n''t it?
57236The jeweller?
57236The kind that are made to look like personal letters, but like false teeth, deceive nobody?
57236The only blue pearls in the world?
57236Then how do you explain Mount?
57236Then what do you want me to do?
57236Then why was she so distressed in the beginning?
57236Then will you?
57236Then you agree with me that there is an organised gang at work?
57236Then you think that the robbery was engineered by experts?
57236There is n''t such a thing really as a blue pearl, is there?
57236This is my affair, and mine only----"How about her?
57236This you?
57236To tell me what you thought of me?
57236Unless I come across with the paper they want?
57236Was any one with you when you got them out of the safety deposit box?
57236Was he in with you?
57236Was that my fault?
57236We expected that, did n''t we?
57236We have n''t got his address?
57236Well then, how about an Armenian fruit peddler?
57236Well, that''s all, is n''t it?
57236Well, what are you going to do about it?
57236Well, what are you going to do about it?
57236Well, what did you find?
57236Well, what do you think of him?
57236Well, where is he now?
57236Well?
57236Were there any strangers on the stage?
57236Were they the words of a guilty man?
57236Were you with him all the time?
57236Wh- what''s the matter?
57236What about the other internal arrangements of the house?
57236What about the other two cars? 57236 What address did he give you?"
57236What am I to do when she comes?
57236What am I to do?
57236What are my instructions?
57236What are you abusing_ me_ for?
57236What are you doing here?
57236What are you doing here?
57236What are you doing here?
57236What are you getting at?
57236What are you getting at?
57236What are you getting at?
57236What are you going to do about it?
57236What are you going to do?
57236What can I do for you?
57236What can I do for you?
57236What commission?
57236What did you leave England for?
57236What do you expect to gain by bluffing now?
57236What do you mean?
57236What do you mean?
57236What do you mean?
57236What do you mean?
57236What do you propose?
57236What do you want me to do now?
57236What do you want me to do?
57236What do you want me to do?
57236What do you want of me?
57236What do you want to drag me back for?
57236What do you want to know?
57236What do you want to put on this pretence with me for?
57236What do you want?
57236What do you_ think_?
57236What does evidence matter?
57236What does that mean?
57236What good am I to you now?
57236What happiness can there be for any of us if Irma comes to grief?
57236What have you got to say about it, mate? 57236 What have you got to tell me?"
57236What if I kissed you anyhow?
57236What is it?
57236What is it?
57236What is there to do?
57236What is this mysterious thing?
57236What makes you think so?
57236What office?
57236What shall I do?
57236What shall I say to him? 57236 What time was that?"
57236What was his name?
57236What was there about the cryptogram that eased her mind?
57236What will I do about the women here? 57236 What will it be now?"
57236What would you say to a South American gentleman?
57236What''s it all about?
57236What''s it got to do with me?
57236What''s new?
57236What''s that for, swell figure?
57236What''s that?
57236What''s the difference?
57236What''s the matter with Freer?
57236What''s the matter with you?
57236What''s the matter with you?
57236What''s the use?
57236What''s this I hear downstairs about Miss Hamerton being sick?
57236What''s this?
57236What''s your game?
57236What''s your game?
57236When is it?
57236When would you ordinarily report to him?
57236Where are you?
57236Where did you find them?
57236Where did you get it?
57236Where do you suppose he got it?
57236Where is Enderby to- night?
57236Where were your reports to be sent?
57236Where?
57236Where?
57236Who are you?
57236Who else bought them?
57236Who has the entrà © e to your dressing- room while you are on the stage?
57236Who hired you to trail me?
57236Who seems to be ahead of him?
57236Who the devil are you?
57236Who to?
57236Who wants to give an actor a regular job?
57236Who''s forgetting that I''m the boss now?
57236Why are you looking at me like a policeman?
57236Why did n''t you let me know you were in town?
57236Why did n''t you tell me before?
57236Why did you leave me?
57236Why did you write to me?
57236Why do n''t you and he do it together?
57236Why do n''t you ask me the result of my work the last few weeks?
57236Why do n''t you break it up?
57236Why do n''t you chuck it?
57236Why do n''t you go it alone?
57236Why have n''t you been to see me?
57236Why in Hell ca n''t you let me alone?
57236Why not?
57236Why should I split on Enderby? 57236 Why should n''t I?"
57236Why sorry?
57236Why, in God''s name?
57236Why, with me?
57236Why-- how-- how did it happen?
57236Why?
57236Will you come with me?
57236Will you have dinner with me at my hotel to- night?
57236Will you please send it right off? 57236 Will you send a telegram for me?"
57236Worth what?
57236Would I?
57236Would n''t it be nice to have white hands waiting at home to do that for you?
57236Would n''t they be difficult to dispose of?
57236Would n''t you like to see Miss Hamerton wear them?
57236Yes,he said,"what is it?"
57236Yes?
57236You are asking me to give up my profession?
57236You are sure Freer knew?
57236You are_ sure_?
57236You heard?
57236You identify him, then?
57236You knew, did n''t you, that Miss Hamerton''s necklace was worth much more than that?
57236You know him?
57236You know?
57236You''re both all right?
57236You''re one of these here experts yourself, ai n''t you?
57236Your savings?
57236_ Dunsany''s_?
57236* Subtle irony, eh?
57236And if he did not, would I be able to keep my own face in the ludicrous situation?
57236And if he did, would he have the wit not to give me away before others?
57236Another happened along, and he asked for me:"What''s the matter?"
57236Any more particulars?"
57236Are you sure?"
57236As my fares climbed out, English said to Jumbo:"How long will we be in here?"
57236As when Irma said:"Have you heard that Beulah Maddox has started again to get a divorce?"
57236But does that give his family the right to run us to the end of time?"
57236But what had the cryptogram to do with it?
57236Could I come to her?
57236Could I resist that?
57236Could you with safety arrange for some one to get hold of the boy?
57236Detective?"
57236Did n''t I deliver the goods at Newport?
57236Did n''t I undertake a nasty bit of work to- night?
57236Did the clerk know where there was a taxidermist in town?
57236Do you remember when Milbourne first joined Miss Hamerton''s company he played the part of the old forger, afterwards given to Richards?
57236Do you wonder that I was amazed?
57236Do you wonder that a kind of convulsion took place inside me?
57236Finally, how could it be an affair of the heart?
57236Had I any financial standing?
57236Had she given up?
57236Have I mentioned that"English"is becoming my monaker?
57236Have n''t I done it?
57236Have we not gone into every part of it?"
57236Have you got an operative working for you named Atterbury, number 68 on your books?"
57236He showed us a photograph, do you remember?
57236He would have lost it, would n''t he, to keep us from suspecting?"
57236He''s a wise guy, does the old family friend act, see?
57236How can she tell?"
57236How did the real pearls get in your safe?"
57236How did you get into this business?"
57236How did you know?"
57236How do you account for that?"
57236How long had I been in business?
57236How was a man to tell?
57236I am assuming that you know that a certain famous necklace of blue pearls has been stolen?"
57236I came back:''Who are you?''
57236I do n''t know if you remember the trial----?"
57236I hated her, but what could I do?
57236I stared at her like a clown, and like a clown I blurted out without thinking:"Oh, what''s the matter?"
57236I was tempted to ask:"Then why were you so reluctant to take him into your confidence?"
57236If there was such a thing what would it be worth?"
57236Is there anything else I can do?"
57236It is undoubtedly third or fourth hand-- or should I say fourth head?
57236Losing that, what did he care about his reputation?
57236Mansfield?"
57236Meet me-- let me see-- What town is there near Greenwood City, Long Island, but not on the same road?"
57236More than flesh and blood----"His friend replied:"My dear fellow, it''s worth it, is n''t it?
57236More trouble, I suppose?"
57236Mount?"
57236Mr. Dunsany or"English"reported that he had been detailed to go to Newport on Saturday to spy on the lady, and what should he do about it?
57236Need I say more?
57236Shall I discharge him altogether?
57236Shall I see her?"
57236She said she could n''t come, but the coast was clear, and could I come to her?
57236She thought from my shrug that I meant to convey that if her lover had been guilty of one theft why not others?
57236Signature?"
57236So I went in her dressing- room----""How did you get in?"
57236Square me, ca n''t you?
57236That nice girl you brought into the company, Miss Farrell, do you think she would go with me?"
57236That will let you out, wo n''t it?
57236The instant she caught sight of my face she said:"You have news?"
57236The_ thief_?"
57236There''s our old man now, what''s the matter with him?"
57236This suggests a new line of thought, does n''t it?
57236True, he kept a guard on his bright eyes, and his red lips were firmly closed-- but do we not all have to train our features?
57236Was I about to land the job of diamond expert to the gang?
57236Was I accustomed to handling big cases?
57236Was he right?"
57236Was it another of Roberts''replicas?
57236Was it imploring me not to judge her, or imploring me to support her in what she meant to do, or imploring me to save her from it?
57236Was n''t that enough to lull suspicion?
57236Was there a faint ring of irony in his words?
57236Was there a man alive who would not have cast himself at her feet if she had turned a warm glance in his direction?
57236Was this a new thread in my extraordinary tangle?
57236We were brokers in precious stones, see?
57236We wo n''t let anybody else in, see?
57236What about it?"
57236What am I to do about it?"
57236What booted it to return her jewels if I had broken her heart?
57236What can be the matter?"
57236What did I care about my case?"
57236What did it mean?
57236What did you do to him?"
57236What do you mean by''confidential investigator''--a detective?"
57236What does that mean?
57236What else could she do but come?
57236What else?"
57236What explanation shall I make?"
57236What is the use of all this working and worrying, what am I doing it for if you never even let me see you?
57236What kind of a story would that make?"
57236What kind of man must he be, thus to bring the imperious Lorina who commands us like slaves, to her knees?
57236What marvellous faculty is it that enables a lady to know without looking at a man whether he is worth looking at?
57236What references could I give?
57236What shall I say?"
57236What was I to do?
57236What was I to make of it?
57236What was going to happen?
57236What would she do?"
57236What would you do if you were me?"
57236What would you suggest?
57236What would you suggest?"
57236What''ll you do for me if I tell?"
57236What''s the use of publishing the truth if the mischief is already done?"
57236What''s your address?
57236When I find my man----""Will you consider me as an applicant for the job?"
57236Where can I meet you?"
57236Where can we go?
57236Where do you have your meetings?"
57236Where was there a second hand clothes dealer?
57236Where were all his proud vows then?
57236Why should I have signed it Enderby if Enderby was out there?
57236Why should a few idle questions throw the pearl expert at Dunsany''s into such visible agitation?
57236Why was a promise exacted?"
57236Why?"
57236Will you go with me?"
57236Will you see that Mrs.---- is warned in some manner?
57236Would n''t he have paid his bet if he had?"
57236Would n''t you have done the same?"
57236Would the son recognise his father?
57236Would they find out that it was in my possession?
57236Would you like to see my diamonds?"
57236Would you like to see this woman go to jail?"
57236You make the job last over night, see?
57236You, Jim, ask them to let you sleep in it, see?
53345A father?
53345Ai n''t you ashamed of yourself, now?
53345Ai n''t you ashamed to carry such a lean wallet as that there?
53345And did n''t he come back?
53345And how is your mother to- day?
53345And how much will it be?
53345And now, where are you going to take me?
53345And what do you do?
53345And will you play with me?
53345And you do n''t have anything to do?
53345And you will come to see me some time, auntie?
53345And you will insist on having your own way ever after?
53345And you will take me to Europe?
53345And you would desert me for a richer suitor?
53345And you''ll try to get rich, for my sake?
53345Any of our old friends?
53345Anything gone wrong?
53345Anything more?
53345Are the drawers locked?
53345Are the vests all right?
53345Are we in New York?
53345Are we most there?
53345Are you an only child, or have you brothers and sisters?
53345Are you at it again?
53345Are you at leisure for an hour or two?
53345Are you careful of money?
53345Are you carrying me to where you live, Dan?
53345Are you engaged for the galop?
53345Are you engaged to look after this room? 53345 Are you engaged, Miss Rogers?"
53345Are you her friend?
53345Are you in urgent need of two dollars, my boy?
53345Are you not afraid I shall never pay you, sir?
53345Are you on the square?
53345Are you running errands?
53345Are you sure it was my child?
53345Are you sure of it?
53345Are you sure of this?
53345Are you the janitor?
53345Are you willing to resign in his favor?
53345Are_ you_ to be invited?
53345Bill, I suppose, is your husband?
53345But does her aunt know that we live in such a poor place?
53345But how shall I know where to go, Nancy?
53345But you wo n''t be guided by them?
53345But you''ve got the money, Dan?
53345But, mother, suppose I should fall sick? 53345 But, sir, you do n''t mean all this for me?"
53345Ca n''t I?
53345Ca n''t you play something else?
53345Ca n''t you send her a message not to expect you? 53345 Can I go to bed?"
53345Can he have had anything to do with the abduction of Althea?
53345Can it be Hartley?
53345Can we move in to- day?
53345Can you give this lady a room?
53345Can you help me as far as that with my luggage?
53345Can you hold your tongue?
53345Can you open a safe?
53345Can you sing, my boy?
53345Can you tell me anything about her?
53345Can you tell me what sort of a looking man it was that took her away?
53345Come along, will you?
53345Could n''t he, though? 53345 Did he give his name?"
53345Did he say whether his family was well?
53345Did he succeed?
53345Did he?
53345Did n''t I fool the ould woman good?
53345Did n''t I tell you he was impudent?
53345Did n''t he tell you we were coming to- night?
53345Did n''t he turn out the poor Donovans on a cold day last winter? 53345 Did n''t you call me a young feller?"
53345Did n''t you know it was disgraceful to be poor?
53345Did n''t you see that it was bad?
53345Did n''t you, now? 53345 Did she tell you so?"
53345Did the old lady leave it all away from you, then? 53345 Did they let you over the ferry free, then?"
53345Did we have the right combination?
53345Did you find out where he went?
53345Did you follow her?
53345Did you hear him doing it?
53345Did you hear the little girl say anything?
53345Did you lock the door when you came away, mother?
53345Did you make these vests yourself?
53345Did you see Althea carried away?
53345Did you see anything of a little girl?
53345Did you speak to him, Dan?
53345Did you speak to me, Garibaldi?
53345Did you succeed well in your sales to- day, Dan?
53345Do I? 53345 Do n''t you care to sell this suit?"
53345Do n''t you feel well, Dan? 53345 Do n''t_ you_ know where she lives?"
53345Do they suit you, Dan?
53345Do you come here to threaten me, John Hartley?
53345Do you doubt that?
53345Do you know him, sir?
53345Do you know that boy?
53345Do you know that this boy whom you have engaged is a common newsboy?
53345Do you know the number?
53345Do you know the wharf of the Cunard steamers?
53345Do you know what you remind me of?
53345Do you know where it is?
53345Do you know where she lives?
53345Do you know where she went?
53345Do you know why I take you into my employ?
53345Do you like Dan?
53345Do you mean to insult me, madam?
53345Do you mean to insult me?
53345Do you mean to say that you bought that suit and paid for it?
53345Do you often fall behind when rent day comes, Dan?
53345Do you really mean so?
53345Do you really mean to give me five dollars, sir?
53345Do you remember her?
53345Do you remember your mother, Althea?
53345Do you see that, now?
53345Do you suspect any one, sir?
53345Do you think the fellow knew the piece was bad?
53345Do you think you would like to be going with me?
53345Do you think your mother would enjoy the society of a little girl?
53345Do you want a job, my man?
53345Do you want something in our line to- day?
53345Do you want to make some money, Johnny?
53345Do you wish to remain in your place,she asked,"or would you like to obtain a better education first?"
53345Does he beat you?
53345Does he treat?
53345Does it?
53345Does the ability to dance make a gentleman, Dan?
53345Does your anxiety to see Althea arise from parental affection?
53345Does your mother live there?
53345Even if old Gripp pays for the vests?
53345Excuse me, Tom, but do you think such expressions suitable for such an occasion as this?
53345For whom has she been working?
53345For yourself?
53345Gentlemen, will you take notice of this? 53345 Gold?"
53345Has Althea been stopping there, Dan?
53345Has Donovan betrayed me?
53345Has he found it out?
53345Has he?
53345Has she got any money?
53345Has she got money?
53345Has your mother any experience?
53345Have n''t you been run over, then?
53345Have n''t you sold as many bouquets as usual?
53345Have you a mother living?
53345Have you a papa?
53345Have you any coats and vests that will fit this young gentleman?
53345Have you any directions to give me, sir, as to how to go to work?
53345Have you any idea what became of the defaulter?
53345Have you any jewelry about you?
53345Have you any more to tell?
53345Have you been extravagant and run up bills, Dan?
53345Have you been here long?
53345Have you been in New York for a week past?
53345Have you been lonely, mother?
53345Have you been lucky in stocks?
53345Have you ever heard of this book- keeper since?
53345Have you found out what you want to know?
53345Have you got the money?
53345Have you had any supper?
53345Have you matches with you?
53345Have you seen anything of Mike?
53345He is the book- keeper, is he not?
53345How are you, Grab?
53345How are you, Terence?
53345How can I help it, Dan? 53345 How can I thank you for your kindness, sir?"
53345How can they afford to pay ten cents for riding?
53345How can you be spared from your business?
53345How did it happen, Mike, that you took the Jersey Ferry to Brooklyn?
53345How did it happen? 53345 How did mamma get hurt?"
53345How did she look? 53345 How did they suspect?"
53345How did you find it out, then?
53345How did you find out?
53345How did you get shut up there?
53345How did you happen to be coming across the ferry?
53345How do the girls know how he dances?
53345How do you account for it? 53345 How do you like it?"
53345How happened you to be there?
53345How in the duse does Dan Mordaunt know that girl?
53345How is that?
53345How is your health? 53345 How long ago did this happen?"
53345How long did you stay?
53345How many bouquets had you sold?
53345How many papers have you sold to- day, my boy?
53345How many vests are there?
53345How much did you earn as a newsboy?
53345How much do you want for your rooms?
53345How much is it?
53345How much now did he pay for vest- making?
53345How much?
53345How old are you?
53345How old is Dan?
53345How old is the crathur?
53345How so? 53345 How was he dressed?"
53345How will you have it?
53345How?
53345How?
53345I need n''t ask if you have a good mother?
53345I say, Bill,said Mike, suddenly,"how much did your wife hear of our plans last night?"
53345I suppose Mr. Rogers wishes you to supply him with an evening paper?
53345I suppose you are poor?
53345I thought you did n''t care for music, Virginia?
53345I wonder where he''s going?
53345I wonder whether Shorty would n''t lend it to me?
53345If Dan should prove unsatisfactory, would you try my nephew?
53345Is Mike in?
53345Is Miss Conway at home?
53345Is Miss Conway at home?
53345Is Mr. Rogers in?
53345Is he-- badly hurt?
53345Is it Mr. Talbot you mean?
53345Is it far away?
53345Is it far off?
53345Is it for making vests?
53345Is it gone, Dan?
53345Is it probable that the man who carried away Althea would give the right direction so that it could be overheard by a third party? 53345 Is it you, Bill?"
53345Is it you, Dan?
53345Is it, indeed? 53345 Is it?"
53345Is mamma very much hurt?
53345Is n''t it?
53345Is n''t the work done and delivered?
53345Is she in England?
53345Is she in London?
53345Is she much hurt?
53345Is she nice?
53345Is she your mamma?
53345Is she your vife?
53345Is that a bargain?
53345Is that so?
53345Is there anything more for me to do?
53345Is there money in it?
53345Is this the way he looked?
53345Is this your final answer?
53345Is your aunt rich?
53345Is your mother living?
53345Is your name Dan?
53345Is your wife at home, Hugh?
53345It is a little better than selling papers in front of the Astor House, is n''t it, Dan?
53345It is some time since we met, is it not? 53345 Joseph,"said he,"have we any vests ready for making?"
53345Look here, boy,said the landlord, savagely,"do you know what I am tempted to do?"
53345Look here, old man, who engineered this thing?
53345Look here,said he;"come over to the next table, will you?"
53345Margaret,she said, coldly,"will you show this gentleman out?"
53345May I beg to apologize for constraining you to cross the Atlantic?
53345May I give a part of it to my mother?
53345May I go out into the street?
53345May I go with you, mamma?
53345May I see the child, madam?
53345May I see them?
53345Mrs. Donovan,( by this time she was on her feet, looking on in a dazed sort of way),"is not this our little Katy?"
53345Must I stay here all the time?
53345No, she has n''t, or how could she send for you?
53345No, what is it?
53345Of course,she said;"is n''t that right?"
53345Of whom are you speaking, Julia?
53345Oh, Dan, how could you?
53345Oh, have you?
53345Probably she resembles her father?
53345Probably you live in a poor place?
53345Shall I buy any evening papers?
53345Shall I do up the clothes?
53345Shall I give you a five- dollar bill, or small bills?
53345Shall I put them up?
53345Shall I sing''Viva Garibaldi?''
53345Shall I take it back to the bank, sir?
53345Shall I tell my aunt?
53345Shall we go down?
53345Shall we go now, madam?
53345Shure, Hugh, who is it you''re bringin''here?
53345So she went away in a carriage, Nancy?
53345So that''s your game, my young chicken, is it?
53345So you gave him forty- five cents in good money, Fanny?
53345So you would rob your daughter, John Hartley?
53345Son of Lawrence Mordaunt?
53345Suppose I decline to let you have it?
53345Suppose that the conditions are fulfilled, Virginia?
53345Suppose this is impossible?
53345Tell me one thing, Virginia-- you love me, do n''t you?
53345That''s a lively city, is n''t it, sir?
53345Then how are you going to take Terence Quinn to the theater to- night?
53345Then how can she stay even one night in this poor place?
53345Then may I have the honor?
53345Then she did n''t like Gripp?
53345Then she will be my mother?
53345Then what''s the matter? 53345 Then why did n''t you say so?"
53345Then why do you remain? 53345 Then will you give me the pleasure?"
53345Then you feel authorized to accept the charge in your mother''s name?
53345Then you had n''t seen him before?
53345Then you have less money than when you began?
53345Then you know all about him?
53345Then, sir, can you stay away from the store to- day?
53345This is your gratitude for my trouble, is it?
53345To draw money?
53345To- night?
53345Very tall or very short?
53345Virginia, are you ready to fulfill your promise?
53345Was it a man who came to your rooms this evening?
53345Was it all the money your mother had?
53345Was it he? 53345 Was it much, Dan?"
53345Was that all?
53345We will make the grand tour?
53345Well, Dan, do you think Mr. Gripp is prepared to receive us?
53345Well, Dan, what besides?

53345Well,he asked,"have you any news?"
53345Well,said the gentleman, smiling,"how do you like it?"
53345Well,she said,"have you any news to tell me?"
53345Were they all_ Telegrams_?

53345What did you say?
53345What did you think of him?
53345What difference does it make to you? 53345 What do you call living respectably?"
53345What do you mane?

53345Who to?
53345Who told you this?
53345Who would have thought that a stranger would lend me so large a sum? 53345 Why am I?"
53345Why did she go away?
53345Why did you think so?
53345Why do n''t you carry money, like a gentleman?
53345Why do n''t you know him now?
53345Why do you ask?
53345Why does n''t Dan pay him?
53345Why not?
53345Why not?
53345Why not?
53345Why not?
53345Why not?
53345Why not?
53345Why not?
53345Why should I not?
53345Why should I?
53345Why should n''t he notice my boy?
53345Why should n''t he?
53345Why should you not, John Hartley? 53345 Why will you require impossibilities of me?
53345Why, mother, what''s the matter?
53345Why, not, auntie?
53345Why, what''s up, partner?
53345Why? 53345 Why?"
53345Why?
53345Will I do, Giovanni?
53345Will I get the money, or Hugh?
53345Will he be in soon?
53345Will he place it in the safe?
53345Will it seem strange to receive fifty dollars a month for Althea''s board?
53345Will she take care of me?
53345Will that make you feel bad, Dan?
53345Will the lady go up now?
53345Will you be my brother?
53345Will you be my mother?
53345Will you be permanent?

53345Will you pay me to- night as a favor?
53345Will you pull the strap opposite the Fifth Avenue Hotel?
53345Will you shwar it?
53345Will you tell her I should like to speak with her?
53345Will your mother be glad to see me?
53345Wo n''t it interfere with you?
53345Wo n''t you come in?
53345Wo n''t you give him a trial?
53345Wo n''t you lend me, thin?
53345Would you rather sell papers or take employment with me?
53345Ye ca n''t, ca n''t ye? 53345 You are Daniel Mordaunt?"
53345You are in the employ of Barton& Rogers, are you not?
53345You are? 53345 You consent, then, to my plans?"
53345You do n''t mean to say she boards there?
53345You do n''t mean to say that you are going down into the parlor?
53345You do n''t think Mike would take it do you, Dan?
53345You do n''t want us to give''em away?
53345You mean you will look elsewhere?
53345You refuse, then, to tell me what you have done with my child?
53345You sell papers in front of the Astor House, do n''t you?
53345You will like to live with Dan, my dear?
53345You will treat him respectfully, wo n''t you, Dan?
53345You wo n''t fight with him, Dan?
53345You would n''t remember the driver?
53345You''ll take me away, wo n''t you, Dan? 53345 Your mother is n''t dead, is she?"
53345Ai n''t you ashamed to lie here in a hape before them gintlemen?"
53345Althea, do you mind stopping here just one night?
53345And what kind of trick has he played on your good mother?"
53345Any important news this afternoon?"
53345Are we most there?"
53345Are you a great eater, Althea?"
53345Are you going to live with us, Dan?"
53345Are you sick?"
53345Are you sure he is a newsboy?"
53345Are you too fine a gentleman to be seen with the likes of me?"
53345But how can I take measures to guard against loss?"
53345But must he abandon the pursuit?
53345But where is yours, Dan?"
53345But wo n''t you be doing more than your share?
53345Buy one, sir?"
53345By the way, mother, you''ve got enough money on hand to pay the rent to- morrow, have n''t you?"
53345By the way, what wages do we pay you?"
53345By whom?"
53345Ca n''t you give me a quarter to buy me some dinner?"
53345Can she sleep here?"
53345Can you call here at three o''clock this afternoon?"
53345Can you give her any work?"
53345Can you lend me two dollars till I am able to pay it?"
53345Can you, without betraying to him that he is watched, find out some information for me on these points?"
53345Carver?
53345Could you lend me five dollars?"
53345Did he see me?
53345Did you know my father?"
53345Did you observe Mr. Talbot, my book- keeper?"
53345Did you want him?"
53345Do I need to answer the question?
53345Do n''t you know everything?"
53345Do you board here?"
53345Do you doubt my word?"
53345Do you earn much money?"
53345Do you go up to Harlem every day?"
53345Do you know him?"
53345Do you know whether there''s any woman in the case?"
53345Do you know, sir, it is a week since you took me to any place of amusement?
53345Do you mean to insult me?"
53345Do you mean to starve me?"
53345Do you often take supper at the Fifth Avenue Hotel?"
53345Do you see her?"
53345Do you suppose Tom Carver would notice me, now that I am a poor newsboy?"
53345Do you think I''d speak to a fellow that does n''t want to know me?"
53345Do you think your mother would be willing to take charge of her?
53345Do you understand?"
53345Do you want a lodging?"
53345Do you want to know what I''d do if a woman raised her hand against me?"
53345Do you want to prevent the robbery, or to catch the men in the act?"
53345Do you, mother?"
53345Does n''t he dance charmingly?"
53345Does the book- keeper suspect that he is watched?"
53345Does this little girl know where you live?"
53345Donovan?"
53345Got the jaundice?"
53345Grab, if we pay you next week?"
53345Grant?"
53345Gripp?"
53345Had she a mother living?
53345Hartley?"
53345Has Gripp discharged her?"
53345Has any one been teasing you?"
53345Has business been duller than usual during the last month?"
53345Has he any good clothes?"
53345Have you a padrone?"
53345Have you a pocket- book?"
53345Have you any more to say?"
53345Have you anything to do for the next two hours?"
53345Have you come to take me away?"
53345He approached Dan, and observed, in a friendly way:"Are you in search of your little sister?"
53345He used to sit next you in school, did n''t he?"
53345How can I be a brick?
53345How could you raise so large a sum?
53345How dare you address me in such a way, you young tramp?"
53345How did he look?"
53345How did you find her, Dan?"
53345How happened it that your father failed?"
53345How long have you dealt in papers?"
53345How long is it?
53345How many vests are there?"
53345How much did that cigar cost?"
53345How much did you make?"
53345How much do you require, gentlemen?"
53345How much does he pay you for taking care of the girl?"
53345How much does she give you?"
53345How old was she?"
53345How rich must I be?"
53345How should he do it?
53345How?"
53345I hope you and your mother have not suffered?"
53345I wo n''t charge you no rint, and that''s an object in these hard times-- eh, Barney?"
53345I wonder if I can make him understand?
53345I wonder if he speculates with his own money or the firm''s?"
53345If Mr. Talbot sends me with a large check to the bank, what shall I do?"
53345If so, how could that mother voluntarily forego her child''s society?
53345If you want money, why do n''t you earn it, as I do?"
53345In what denominations shall I get the money?"
53345Is anything the matter with you?"
53345Is it a bargain?"
53345Is my daughter Althea with you?"
53345Is she sick?"
53345Is that satisfactory?"
53345Is there any quiet place, where we shall not be disturbed or overheard?"
53345Is there much money in the safe?"
53345Is there no way of getting up stairs except by passing through the bar- room?"
53345Is this little gal your sister?"
53345Is your wife-- about your size?"
53345It is n''t about the rent, is it?"
53345Just behave yourself, and we''ll give you ten dollars-- shall we, Mike?"
53345Let me see; what shall I take her?
53345Mordaunt?"
53345Mr. Grant turned back, and said, quietly:"To whom are you speaking, sir?"
53345Mr. Gripp, do I understand that you decline to pay this bill?"
53345Mr. Jackson was pleased, but he said, by way of drawing out Dan:"How do you know but I am a mean skinflint, too?"
53345Noticing his look of perplexity, Dan approached him, and said, respectfully:"Ca n''t I assist you, sir?"
53345Now will you answer my question?"
53345Now, Dan, what is your advice?"
53345Now, my lad, what do you think of my success in collecting bills?"
53345Now, what kind of a carriage was it?"
53345Observing this, the book- keeper turned and said, sharply:"Did n''t you hear?
53345Oh, by the way, who do you think I saw to- day?"
53345Oh, where are they?"
53345Rafferty?"
53345Rogers?"
53345Rogers?"
53345Rogers?"
53345Shall he make it good?"
53345Shall we have enough to pay it?
53345Shall you have the morning papers?"
53345She could not remember this woman, but was it possible that there was any connection between them?
53345Should she never, never see them?
53345So when she said,"Well, Dan?"
53345Surely you did not earn it in one forenoon?"
53345Talbot?"
53345Talbot?"
53345Talbot?"
53345Was it possible that she could be Katy Donovan, and that this red- faced woman was her mother?
53345Was it possible they could be in earnest?
53345Was there any way of escape?
53345What are yer talkin''about?"
53345What are you going to make out of it?"
53345What did he promise you?"
53345What do you say to my plan, mother?"
53345What do you say?"
53345What do you say?"
53345What do you want?"
53345What makes you think so?"
53345What should we do then?"
53345What would justify such a handsome compensation to Fanny merely to explain his absence to his mother?
53345What would my fashionable friends say?"
53345What''ll you have now?"
53345What''ll you take to drink?"
53345What''ll you take?
53345What''s the combination?"
53345What, then, are we to do?"
53345When can you come to work?"
53345When did you see Mr. Rogers last?"
53345When does the landlord come?"
53345When does your landlord call for his rent?"
53345When the meal was over she said:"Now, will you take me back to New York?"
53345When will you return?"
53345Where did you get your fiddle?"
53345Where did you leave Mike?
53345Where do you think Talbot will put the money?"
53345Where is Althea?"
53345Where is the money?"
53345Where shall I put her?"
53345Where shall we go?"
53345Where will it all end?"
53345Who can she be?"
53345Who do you think I saw in the supper- room at the Fifth Avenue?
53345Who sent you?"
53345Who told you so?"
53345Why ca n''t you drink dacent like me?
53345Why do n''t you exert yourself and win a fortune, as other people do?
53345Why do they keep_ you_ away from her?"
53345Will four dollars a week suit you?"
53345Will you bring a lawyer to me to- morrow evening?
53345Will you bring the little girl down at once?"
53345Will you clear out now?"
53345Will you take''em now?"
53345You do n''t mean to say?"
53345You''ll open the safe, will you?"
53345You''re sure you''re on the square?"
53345Your mother would be willing to teach her until such time as she may be old enough to go to school?"
53345[ Illustration:"What''s the matter with you?"
53345have you come to take me away?"
53345here, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel?"
53345how is that?"
53345interest make it amount to in a year?"
53345she gasped,"are you hurt?"
53345she said, pitifully,"must you suffer because your father is a brute?
53345what''s up?"
53345you here?"
8398''Do you get this?'' 8398 About the City Hall affair?"
8398All in?
8398All over?
8398And let our hidden antagonist know we are aware of his existence?
8398And the black bag?
8398And the city will, in your judgment, Mr. Perkins, take how long to empty?
8398And the last report from the searchers?
8398And this was from somewhere about one to two hundred miles away, you think?
8398And wo n''t the outside papers have the same stuff?
8398And you?
8398Any more messages from our mysterious friend out in the ether to our equally mysterious friend at the desk?
8398Any wireless this morning?
8398Anything else?
8398Anything new?
8398Are n''t going into the sign- painting business, are you?
8398Are you afraid of McCarthy?
8398Are you dropping those matches?
8398Are you sure we''ll get it?
8398Are you sure you can make yourself heard above all this row?
8398Are you sure?
8398Are you?
8398Arrest you-- why?
8398Breakfast?
8398But even then?
8398But if that warning might precipitate the danger?
8398But is n''t the most effective time at night, anyway, on account of the lights?
8398But wo n''t the people who write the letters tell about it, anyway?
8398But you suspect?
8398But,objected Jack,"if vibration were absolutely stopped, why would n''t they all three be blotted out at once?"
8398By the way,asked Darrow,"what is your shift, anyhow?
8398Can I use your phone?
8398Can you get an answer back?
8398Cause?
8398Could n''t you tell who sent it?
8398Dangerous?
8398Did I not see you in the corridor of the Atlas Building the day of the first electrical failure?
8398Did n''t the humor of that strike you?
8398Did you expect this?
8398Did you look at the-- fuses?
8398Did you notice anything in the papers this morning?
8398Do n''t you see? 8398 Do n''t you think you''d better warn people what is going to happen, and tell them there''s nothing to be frightened of?"
8398Do you know what you have done?
8398Do you know whether any other instruments caught this?
8398Do you know?
8398Do you mean there is danger?
8398Do you remember,Darrow asked Jack,"how the curtain of darkness hung about ten or twelve feet inside the corridor of the Atlas Building?"
8398Do you want it?
8398Do you?
8398Eh? 8398 Eh?"
8398Eh?
8398Feel tempted?
8398Got it?
8398Guarantee?
8398Hallowell?
8398Have you been out in the city? 8398 Have you found yourself able to communicate with this Monsieur X at any time?"
8398Helen,he pleaded,"ca n''t you see how we need each other?"
8398Here she is:''McCarthy, will you do as I tell you? 8398 Here,"he said decisively,"what are you talking about?
8398How can you tell that?
8398How could you rely on his not involving himself in the general destruction?
8398How did you dare to take such chances?
8398How did you finally come to the conclusion that Monsieur X was in the next office?
8398How do they report the bulletin men?
8398How do you account for it?
8398How do you explain it?
8398How do you get those figures?
8398How do you know that?
8398How do you know who''s doin''this?
8398How do you know?
8398How do you know?
8398How do you know?
8398How do you mean?
8398How far will your instrument carry in sending?
8398How far-- about?
8398How goes it, old socks?
8398How many stations are on the job, Simmons?
8398How''s that, Professor?
8398How''s that?
8398How''s that?
8398How''s the trick turned?
8398How''s your instrument? 8398 How?"
8398I do n''t suppose there''s any real doubt left in your mind but that this man can turn the juice off again, if he wants to?
8398If he did n''t leak, what did you say that for?
8398If this fellow did n''t leak, how did you know about them wireless?
8398In advance, I understand you to say?
8398In what way, may I ask?
8398Inside bells? 8398 Is it wise to talk here?"
8398Is it?
8398Is n''t that a little doubtful?
8398Is n''t there some one you can visit?
8398Jim, what the hotel- bill do you mean by getting dead batteries? 8398 Just how do you mean-- limited?"
8398Just up?
8398Leaving all science aside, for the moment, what do we find in the messages to McCarthy? 8398 Long Island?
8398M."What,said Darrow,"is to prevent the other operators who must have caught this message from giving it to the public?
8398Me? 8398 New about what?"
8398No man or men are suspected of bringing this about?
8398No?
8398No?
8398Not fixed yet?
8398Or do you still cherish any delusions that you will get your man inside of--he looked at his watch--"eleven minutes?"
8398Ought n''t we to warn the people?
8398Professor Darrow?
8398Quite so, and then?
8398Say, my friend,said Hallowell earnestly,"do you think I''m a reporter for the_ Scientific American_ or a newspaper?"
8398See that thick- set, quick man in gray clothes? 8398 See what he''s up to?"
8398Shall I go or stay?
8398Simmons?
8398So he wants you to go to Europe?
8398So you''ve been getting more wireless, have you?
8398Something must be wrong with those things at the meter-- what do you call them?
8398Sweat me, eh?
8398Talcum disturbed again?
8398Tell me, how did you know? 8398 Tell me, who are you?"
8398That, I understand it, is a challenge?
8398The funny little old German? 8398 Then how on earth can you hope to find him?"
8398Then you think they will continue--"Why not,smiled Darrow,"until he has scared McCarthy out?"
8398Then you''ve concluded I''m right, after all?
8398Then your opinion is that the city is doomed?
8398They say anything about a''sign''being sent, and such talk?
8398Want that?
8398Wants me? 8398 Well, can you explain_ that_ phenomenon?"
8398Well, what about the causes?
8398Well?
8398Well?
8398Well?
8398Well?
8398Well?
8398What are the theories?
8398What can he do?
8398What do you get?
8398What do you make of it?
8398What do you mean? 8398 What do you mean?"
8398What do you mean?
8398What do you want me to do with him?
8398What do you want me to do?
8398What do you want?
8398What do you want?
8398What for?
8398What have you got to do with this?
8398What in blazes would four million city people without homes or occupations do? 8398 What is he interested in?"
8398What is it he has discovered?
8398What is it? 8398 What is it?
8398What is it?
8398What is it?
8398What is the proof? 8398 What is there in that?"
8398What kind of a job?
8398What next; and how long?
8398What next?
8398What next?
8398What time did this come?
8398What was it? 8398 What will be the outcome?"
8398What ye givin''us, Mike?
8398What''s McCarthy got to do with it?
8398What''s doing?
8398What''s his name?
8398What''s the matter with Jack?
8398What''s the matter? 8398 What''s the matter?"
8398What''s the occasion?
8398What''s up? 8398 What''s up?"
8398What''s your special grouch on Eldridge, anyway?
8398What?
8398What?
8398When are you going to stop this?
8398Where are they from?
8398Where did that come from?
8398Where did the stuff come from?
8398Where is Jack this evening?
8398Where is he?
8398Where''d you collect the plunder?
8398Where, now?
8398Which will it be next time, do you think?
8398Who is he?
8398Who''s the man?
8398Whom you are going to find for him?
8398Why are you sure of that?
8398Why do you limit it?
8398Why not tell the public that it is harmless?
8398Why should I tell you?
8398Why,explained Eldridge patiently,"are not the people and buildings between here and the unknown operator affected?
8398Why,resumed Darrow,"how, if Monsieur X was a hundred miles or so away, as Eldridge figured, did he know that McCarthy had not obeyed him?
8398Why?
8398Why?
8398Will you please listen, sir, and see if you hear a buzz when I turn her over?
8398Will you see him to- night?
8398Will you?
8398Would n''t he have noticed the sending getting weaker?
8398Yes, why did you act when you did?
8398You are sure you can do it?
8398You have your gun with you?
8398You never knew Doctor Schermerhorn, did you, Helen?
8398You support your major hypothesis, I suppose?
8398You think so?
8398You would not be so obliging, if I were not-- beautiful?
8398You''re Hallowell, are n''t you? 8398 Your idea-- the one you told us yesterday-- is to be published?"
8398Although we are, of course, not justified in generalizing from one instance, what would you think by analogy would be the next thing to expect?"
8398Am I clear?"
8398Any others?"
8398Anything happened?"
8398Anything more?"
8398Are n''t you wildly excited?
8398Are you there, Darrow?"
8398Are you with us, or against us?"
8398But how did he get on to what Eldridge was doing?"
8398But if this is the method employed, why do we not cut a band of vibratory nullifications, rather than touch upon a focal point?"
8398But that is not the question; can not you get out of town for a little while?"
8398But why''when the time comes''?
8398CHAPTER VI THE WRATH TO COME"Did you ever meet McCarthy?"
8398Ca n''t you make her go?"
8398Can you imagine the effect?"
8398Did any of these come between six and eight last evening?"
8398Did our friend leave on the_ Celtic_?
8398Do n''t you feel your guilt at those men''s deaths?"
8398Do n''t you realize what will happen when news of this gets out, and people understand what it means?
8398Do you believe me?"
8398Do you understand?
8398Do you understand?"
8398Families leaving their homes?
8398Give it up?"
8398Going, eh?
8398Got anything to say?"
8398Had n''t thought of that, either, had you?"
8398Have n''t you seen them?"
8398Have we gone blind, or is it a total eclipse, or what?"
8398Have you seen men out of work?
8398Have you seen the people?
8398House phones?"
8398How about that interview?
8398How could you?"
8398How did Monsieur X know that McCarthy had not sailed on the_ Celtic_?
8398How far did it extend?"
8398How is this man able, at forty or fifty miles distance, to concentrate his efforts on one comparatively small objective?
8398Is Hallowell in the office?
8398Jersey?"
8398Just in?
8398Leaving aside the minor consideration that I am myself looking for employment, what use has a scientist for a bull- terrier?
8398Mind telling?"
8398No?
8398Now, Simmons,"said he, turning to the operator, who had sat in utter silence,"how about it?
8398Panic spreading slowly but surely over a whole city?"
8398Professor, what have you concluded as to the causes?"
8398Shall I rustle bail?"
8398Sure he did n''t sneak off in disguise?
8398Then after a pause:"What is it you want of me, Helen?
8398Then you''re still on at night?"
8398There was one of polarizing the island because of the steel structures; and the--""No human agency?"
8398Was the condition general, or only local?
8398Were n''t you on at night when this thing began?"
8398What are the rush hours?
8398What can I do for you?"
8398What do you make of it?"
8398What do you want me to do?"
8398What do your messages have to say?"
8398What good did you think it would do you to arrest me?"
8398What has happened?"
8398What have you got to do with it?"
8398What is the most effective moment?
8398What struck us?"
8398What would happen?"
8398What would he do?"
8398What ye suppose he wanted, now?
8398What''s the good word, Perc?
8398What, indeed, is to prevent M.''s appealing direct to the public?"
8398Where did you get him?"
8398Where was he?
8398Where would they go?
8398Who are ye that ye shall strive to take me?
8398Who is he?"
8398Who sprung that?"
8398Why are you so bitter?"
8398Why do n''t you get out and make a noise and celebrate, like your friends outside?"
8398Why do n''t you try that?"
8398Why not now?"
8398Why?"
8398Will you agree on your honor faithfully to transmit?"
8398Will you send for the operator who took these?"
8398Wo n''t this arrest ball things up?
8398You did n''t imagine I caused all this, did you?"
8398You remember the phrasing of his last message?
8398You said you could lay your hands on Monsieur X at any moment; why do n''t you do it?"
8398You understand?"
8398[ Illustration:"Ca n''t you see how we need each other?"]
55642A girl?
55642A waiting game?
55642About setting Miss Chent free? 55642 About what?
55642Agstone could not have been at the table then-- under it I mean?
55642Am I indeed?
55642Am I to consider myself arrested?
55642And Brisson, the man who shot him?
55642And Madame Marie''s fortune- telling?
55642And Vavi with her knife?
55642And are you really in love with Constance?
55642And are you?
55642And can you tell,asked the Inspector, turning to the other doctor,"how long Mr. Shepworth has been insensible?"
55642And from whom?
55642And have you got the new disease, Aunt Sophia?
55642And how did you find it?
55642And how do you know that Dolly''s dressing- room is in the other flat?
55642And see the police?
55642And the reply?
55642And then?
55642And then?
55642And under suspicion?
55642And what did he see, gentlemen of the jury? 55642 And what did the prisoner say to all this?
55642And what do you infer?
55642And what do you think is the truth?
55642And who do you think murdered Agstone?
55642And who got rid of Agstone?
55642And why are n''t you in bed?
55642And you believe him?
55642And you can swear that the masked woman killed Agstone?
55642And you did not re- enter this room until you came to see what the three heavy blows meant?
55642And you knew-- you knew all the time?
55642And you will allow me to help you?
55642Are those two fellows assisting Mr. Shepworth in the defence?
55642Are you about to accuse me?
55642Are you against me?
55642Are you hurt, Ned?
55642Are you hurt, Ned?
55642Are you in the mood to face danger?
55642Are you on my side or on theirs?
55642Are you on my side, or on the side of these blackmailers?
55642Are you sure of that, Dorry?
55642Are you sure that he did not?
55642Are you sure?
55642Are you?
55642At five? 55642 Aunt Sophia, how did you come here?"
55642Aunt Sophia, will you tell me plainly if you believe Miss Chent to be innocent or guilty?
55642Because he defends her?
55642Because he loves her?
55642Before the murder, do you mean?
55642Bless me, Mr. Shepworth, what then? 55642 But Ned?"
55642But are you sure, aunt? 55642 But did you know Agstone?"
55642But do n''t you think I ought to remain here until the truth is found out?
55642But do you think that this lady is guilty?
55642But how could she come to the ball? 55642 But how did he know that I had it?"
55642But if Bruge knew that I took it from Mona?
55642But surely he would not have accused Mona of a crime which he had committed himself?
55642But surely you do n''t suspect Jadby?
55642But the case?
55642But what is to be the end of it?
55642But what was the need of that?
55642But who placed the knife in Mona''s hand?
55642But why should I be astonished? 55642 But why should she have stabbed him?"
55642But would he dare?
55642By the way,said Prelice carelessly,"have you seen Miss Chent?"
55642Can I see Inspector Bruge?
55642Can I stay with my friend?
55642Can this smoke you mention, do that?
55642Can you explain the smoke?
55642Can you swear to that?
55642Confess what? 55642 Confessing what?"
55642Constance, how did you become possessed of the key?
55642Constance, what are you saying?
55642Danger?
55642Did Madame Marie say that Agstone hated Mona?
55642Did Uncle Simon go?
55642Did he wear that sham frock?
55642Did n''t I, Marie?
55642Did n''t you see it in the morning papers?
55642Did n''t your uncle tell you that he did?
55642Did you catch a glimpse of her frock by any chance, or did your senses fail you?
55642Did you get it?
55642Did you propose murder to Madame?
55642Did you see anyone on the road or on the Downs?
55642Did you? 55642 Do n''t you read the papers, doctor?
55642Do n''t you remember?
55642Do we not know each other now?
55642Do you believe that I am guilty?
55642Do you believe that she is guilty?
55642Do you call me misery?
55642Do you know her?
55642Do you know if Jadby has a boat, or a yacht, or a steamer of any sort?
55642Do you know where he is now?
55642Do you know who I am?
55642Do you love anyone else?
55642Do you mean Captain Jadby?
55642Do you mean to say that he murdered Sir Oliver?
55642Do you mean to tell me that a hard- headed man like Mr. Haken consulted you?
55642Do you remember Easter Island?
55642Do you suppose that Madame Marie herself killed Lanwin?
55642Do you suspect anyone of the crime?
55642Do you think it is good taste to discuss your husband with me?
55642Do you think that I have time to waste in discussing barometers?
55642Do you think that Miss Chent murdered him?
55642Do you think that Rover wishes to get Ned into trouble? 55642 Do you think that your husband wishes to get Ned into trouble?"
55642Do you wish me to marry him?
55642Do you, or do you not, wish your father to turn in his grave?
55642Does Inspector Bruge know it?
55642Does your mistress know Captain Felix Jadby?
55642Dolly? 55642 Dorry, do you really believe in these magical things?"
55642Dorry,Constance caught his hand, and passed her tongue over her dry lips slowly,"what do you mean?
55642Dr. Horace, can you show it to me?
55642Eh-- what-- you don''t-- er-- you do n''t say so?
55642Entirely, so far as I know,replied Shepworth dryly; and then wheeling to face his friend:"Why do you ask these questions?"
55642For what reason Dorry?
55642From Madame Marie I learned that Mr. Haken was going to Mrs. Rover''s ball to see his goddaughter and Shepworth, and----"How did you know that?
55642Good heavens, is it only half- an- hour since then? 55642 Had she fainted?"
55642Has n''t it brought me to you?
55642Has the will in favour of Miss Chent been found?
55642Has your mistress been in the South Seas?
55642Have a cigar?
55642Have they hanged that poor girl?
55642He is something of a poodle, is n''t he?
55642How are you, Miss Chent? 55642 How can I judge when I have n''t heard the evidence?
55642How can she?
55642How can you be sure?
55642How can you do that?
55642How can you?
55642How dare you search into my private affairs?
55642How dare you talk to me like that?
55642How did Agstone come there? 55642 How did I become possessed of it?"
55642How did she come to make the confession?
55642How did she manage it, seeing that she was in custody?
55642How did she treat Shepworth?
55642How did you become possessed of this, sir?
55642How did you enter?
55642How did you know that Dr. Horace had the herb?
55642How did you know that it was Miss Chent?
55642How do you come into the matter?
55642How do you do, Lady Sophia? 55642 How do you know?"
55642How do you know?
55642How do you know?
55642How long is this going on?
55642How long is this going on?
55642How long is what going on?
55642How on earth did you come here?
55642How on earth do you know, Ned?
55642How? 55642 I believe it is a lie, Dorry, and so do you; but will the judge and jury believe as we do, if Agstone appears and sticks to what he told Mrs. Blexey?
55642I presume that the new will would also have been signed by Mrs. Blexey and Agstone as witnesses?
55642I say, Ned,remarked Prelice thoughtfully when they were outside,"do you think that Miss Chent will be proved guilty?"
55642I shall do so; but why do you work against the man you love?
55642I thought you liked her?
55642I wonder how it comes to be here?
55642I wonder what she wants with Horace?
55642I wonder what this means?
55642I wonder why this man came to my ball?
55642I? 55642 I?"
55642If you did n''t guess, as I did, that the Sacred Herb was used to make that smoke, why do you talk of the matter at all?
55642If you do n''t, why arrest him?
55642If you knew of such things, Mrs. Blexey, why did n''t you explain in Court?
55642In Heaven''s name, why?
55642In what way?
55642In what way?
55642Including this murderess?
55642Into what matter?
55642Is Shepworth dead?
55642Is he mad?
55642Is he mad?
55642Is he within?
55642Is n''t there a cupboard?
55642Is that THE cup?
55642Is that all you have to say?
55642Is that all?
55642Is there any need of an explanation?
55642Is this the time to talk business?
55642Is your glass filled; your cigar all right? 55642 It belongs to Captain Jadby?"
55642It is natural that you should say so,remarked Bruge, with polite scepticism, then added significantly:"Did you expect Agstone?"
55642It is necessary that I should see Mr. Shepworth, and----"Will I do instead?
55642It suited him to swear in it, however,murmured Prelice frivolously; then added in louder tones:"What do you wish to speak to me about?"
55642It''s a woman?
55642Madame Marie Eppingrave?
55642Madame Marie had no reason to wish Sir Oliver dead?
55642Madame Marie?
55642Many lines?
55642Marriage covers a multitude of sins, does n''t it?
55642May I hear them?
55642Meaning Jadby?
55642Miss Chent?
55642Mona?
55642Ned''s message?
55642Ned, must I see him?
55642Not my property?
55642Now what do you mean by that?
55642Now what does that mean?
55642Odd, is n''t it?
55642Of two murders?
55642Of what, in Heaven''s name?
55642Oh, Dorry, Dorry, are you going to say that my dress was imitated by him, so that I might be accused?
55642Oh, Ned, is there anything wrong?
55642Oh, acquaintances?
55642Oh, dear me, how can you talk so, Haken?
55642Oh, sir,wailed Mrs. Blexey,"do you think that such a nasty man has run away with Miss Mona?"
55642Oh,Prelice spoke with calculated daring and cruelty,"do you then think that Mr. Rover will die?"
55642Oh,said Prelice thoughtfully,"so Mr. Rover took these flats above Ned''s, did he?
55642Ought we to follow Horace?
55642Perhaps Ned took Vavi for you?
55642Presuming it is, who inherits?
55642Presuming, as we must, that your husband wore this made- up thing, did he know what you would wear?
55642Probably; but who admitted Agstone?
55642Quite so,assented the Inspector;"but who admitted her?"
55642Quite so; but why should my remark about the Sacred Herb make you think that I referred to Lanwin''s murder?
55642See here,he burst out finally,"will you allow me to engineer this business?"
55642Senseless?
55642She is innocent, of course?
55642She''s free, is n''t she? 55642 Still, there is one thing to be said,"he added,"how did your husband enter Ned''s flat?"
55642Tell someone what?
55642That Ned has been shot? 55642 That is one crime no doubt; but the other?"
55642That will, you know, Dorry; the will made by Sir Oliver in favour of Mona?
55642The Lords of Karma?
55642The police? 55642 Then I can trust you to hold your tongue?"
55642Then Miss Chent is heart- whole?
55642Then Mr. Haken confessed to you that he desired the loan of this money?
55642Then how did you spot him?
55642Then none of you were in this flat when the murder was committed?
55642Then why ca n''t I chat with him also?
55642Then why do you come to me?
55642Then why expect the impossible?
55642Then why in Heaven''s name,questioned the young man, rising,"did you not volunteer your evidence to save her?"
55642Then you are still searching into the case?
55642Then you believe Miss Chent''s story?
55642Then you do n''t think that he is in danger of being accused of this second crime?
55642Then you have a theory?
55642Then you have made no acquaintances since I left England seven years ago, Constance?
55642Then you imply that Agstone murdered his master?
55642Then you think that Agstone murdered Lanwin?
55642Then you will go to that woman''s?
55642They accuse me of that, do they? 55642 To whom did he say this?"
55642To whom?
55642Wait? 55642 Was I ever polite?"
55642Was Jadby at your ball?
55642Was Sir Oliver dead then?
55642Was it a small white parcel?
55642Was n''t the first will good enough?
55642Was she in favour of this second crime?
55642Was the window, or one of the windows, open?
55642Was there any sign of smoke?
55642Well, I might say that I murdered Lanwin, might n''t I?
55642Well, Thornton?
55642Well, well?
55642Well,he asked, rising,"and what are your terms for silence?"
55642Well,he demanded quietly,"and what have you to say to me?
55642Well,said Prelice, swinging his legs on to the floor,"are you going to starve me?"
55642Were the books open at pages dealing with any particular subject?
55642Were you in the library when Madame Marie went to bed?
55642What about Captain Jadby?
55642What about Ned?
55642What about the herb? 55642 What about the will?"
55642What about?
55642What am I to do next, I should like to know?
55642What are you doing here?
55642What are you doing here?
55642What are you doing, my lord?
55642What are you talking about?
55642What book was he reading when found dead?
55642What can I ask Miss Chent?
55642What can you do?
55642What colour was the domino?
55642What confidence?
55642What did he mean?
55642What did he say?
55642What did she say?
55642What did you see?
55642What do you make of it?
55642What do you mean by mentioning Mrs. Rover''s name in this connection?
55642What do you mean by that?
55642What do you mean by that?
55642What do you mean?
55642What do you mean?
55642What do you mean?
55642What do you mean?
55642What do you mean?
55642What do you mean?
55642What do you mean?
55642What do you say?
55642What do you think about it?
55642What does Captain Jadby think?
55642What does Shepworth think?
55642What does it matter if he is telling lies?
55642What does it say?
55642What else am I here for, you dear, silly, pretty, sweet, angelic darling?
55642What else could he say?
55642What for?
55642What for?
55642What game?
55642What has this case to do with Sir Oliver Lanwin''s death?
55642What have you been doing with yourself? 55642 What have you done with the knife?"
55642What have you to tell me about Miss Mona?
55642What is n''t?
55642What is that?
55642What is the meaning of this?
55642What is the truth?
55642What kind of a smell?
55642What more have you to say, Captain Jadby?
55642What of that? 55642 What of the thick white smoke at which everyone jeers?
55642What on earth do you mean?
55642What other explanation can there be, Ned? 55642 What reward do you want?"
55642What sort of accounts?
55642What the devil are you doing here?
55642What the devil do you mean by that? 55642 What thing?
55642What time did your servants go to assist at the ball?
55642What was Lanwin doing when you left?
55642What woman?
55642What''s that?
55642What''s that?
55642What, with Jadby hanging about, already intending to blackmail me for Lanwin''s death? 55642 What-- the South Sea chap?"
55642What?
55642What?
55642What?
55642What?
55642What_ do_ you mean?
55642Whatever will his lordship and Mr. Shepworth say?
55642When Jadby comes on board with Miss Chent?
55642When did you discover the crime, my lord?
55642When does the inquest take place?
55642When was Agstone murdered, doctor?
55642When? 55642 Where am I, Ned?"
55642Where is the bronze cup?
55642Where''s Mona?
55642Where?
55642Where?
55642Which goes to Captain Jadby?
55642Which uncle?
55642Who by?
55642Who did he brow- beat?
55642Who do you think murdered Sir Oliver?
55642Who is George?
55642Who is she?
55642Who is that?
55642Who pulled me out of the water?
55642Who said that I did?
55642Who stabbed the man?
55642Who wore it?
55642Who-- who are you?
55642Who? 55642 Why a little beast?"
55642Why ca n''t you answer the question?
55642Why ca n''t you be plain with me, confound you?
55642Why ca n''t you talk sense?
55642Why did Sir Oliver wish to go into a trance?
55642Why did n''t she stick him herself?
55642Why did n''t you bring it forward at once?
55642Why did n''t you confess to me?
55642Why did n''t you give him in charge?
55642Why did n''t you give the alarm?
55642Why did n''t you?
55642Why did you tell Bruge about the second entrance of Agstone with the dagger?
55642Why did you write about me to Lady Sophia?
55642Why do you ask?
55642Why do you believe that?
55642Why do you do this for me, Lord Prelice?
55642Why do you speak of Ned so stiffly, Mona?
55642Why her particularly?
55642Why not? 55642 Why not?"
55642Why should I?
55642Why should Mr. Shepworth be afraid?
55642Why should you be afraid?
55642Why should you be?
55642Why should you think so?
55642Why the dickens ca n''t you live like a civilised being when you are in London?
55642Why to- morrow?
55642Why was n''t Agstone stifled with the smoke fumes?
55642Why will you not remain and talk over this strange matter?
55642Why with me?
55642Why, what is the matter?
55642Why, when you gave the same to Sir Oliver?
55642Why,Haken pushed back his chair, and rose with a chuckle,"did n''t Sophia inveigle you into helping young Shepworth and the girl he was engaged to?
55642Why? 55642 Why?
55642Why?
55642Why?
55642Will it be necessary to make a further examination of this?
55642Will it save her?
55642Will you be my wife?
55642Will you come to my house, my dear?
55642Will you come to this ball?
55642Will you give me a kiss if I drink another cup of coffee?
55642Will you go into a trance and see where Mona is?
55642Will you not wait and hear what I have to say?
55642Will you put that gun down, or am I to be shot?
55642Will you take a note in from me?
55642With your little gun?
55642Wo n''t Ned?
55642Wo n''t you stop here for the night?
55642Would it do any good if I gave you a thorough shaking?
55642You are not actually engaged to Mona-- I mean Miss Chent?
55642You are not going to confess that you killed him?
55642You are telling the truth?
55642You are too, my lord, ai n''t you?
55642You believe in the smoke then?
55642You ca n''t suspect him? 55642 You did not say that?"
55642You had dinner then?
55642You have said nothing?
55642You heard Belmain''s speech?
55642You imply then that Captain Jadby was frightened of Sir Oliver?
55642You know me?
55642You know my aunt, Miss Chent? 55642 You know that it is catalepsy, induced by some odour?"
55642You know then?
55642You like Madame Marie?
55642You silly ass,grumbled the doctor in his beard as he went forward to welcome his guest,"why could n''t you leave things alone as I told you to?
55642You will say nothing to her?
55642You wish me, then, to go on looking into the case?
55642You wo n''t scream?
55642You wonder maybe why I keep you here?
55642You wonder what?
55642You?
55642You?
55642A great traveller, is n''t he?"
55642And be abused in the penny press?
55642And the Sacred Herb, eh?"
55642And then?"
55642And what excuse could he make, without telling the whole truth?
55642And why?
55642And why?"
55642Are they-- whomsoever they may be-- fond of him?"
55642Are you afraid for a certain person?"
55642Are you busy?"
55642Are you going to use occult methods?"
55642Are you longing to be on the trail again?"
55642As she is now free, and the prevailing opinion seems to be that Agstone is guilty, why stir up muddy water and waken sleeping dogs?"
55642As to mentioning my name, what does that matter?
55642Aunt Sophia?"
55642Belmain( for the prosecution):"Did you give any portion of this herb to Sir Oliver Lanwin?"
55642Belmain( quickly):"How do you know the leaves were there?"
55642Belmain( significantly):"To complete unconsciousness?"
55642Belmain:"By Steve Agstone?"
55642Belmain:"How did Agstone become possessed of the herb to burn in Alexander Mansions?"
55642Belmain:"Then how did Sir Oliver become possessed of this herb, which, by your own showing, is to be found only in Easter Island?"
55642Belmain:"Then you think that Sir Oliver was experimenting with the herb when prisoner entered the library?"
55642Belmain:"What happened then?"
55642Belmain:"You are Emma Blexey, the late Sir Oliver''s housekeeper?"
55642Besides, he threatened at Horace''s to do me an injury, and what greater one could he inflict than to carry off Mona?
55642Besides, you told Mona, why should you not tell me?"
55642Blexey?"
55642Business at a ball?
55642But I say, Dorry-- yes, I''ll call you Dorry now-- I say, is n''t it rather sudden?
55642But Sir Oliver was writing out another will----""How do you know?"
55642But about this Madame Marie Eppingrave?"
55642But he did his best to get Ned into trouble----""By killing Agstone?
55642But he did not think that it was wise to irritate her at so critical a moment, so merely asked:"What is the name of the steamer?"
55642But how did Agstone enter?"
55642But how did Madame Marie induce Steve to murder his master?"
55642But how did Uncle Simon get the key out of you?"
55642But how did he come here?
55642But how long would such endurance last?
55642But if she could not trust Dorry in all ways, who could she trust?
55642But if that was the case, why had he become engaged to her; why had he so vigorously defended her of late?
55642But if this was the case-- and it was beginning to appear obvious-- why had the two agreed to marry?
55642But if you are so anxious to interview Ned-- and I quite admit the necessity-- why not go up to London?"
55642But meanwhile, Dorry, you could do me a great favour?"
55642But surely you knew-- you guessed that I loved you, and you only?"
55642But the second?"
55642But think, my dear girl, is it not better that I should find this than Jadby?"
55642But what can I do?"
55642But what did that matter, so long as Mona received him at dawn, in the enchanted gardens of the secluded Grange?
55642But what does it matter?
55642But what had a fetish worship in Easter Island to do with a murder in Kent?
55642But what happened next?"
55642But what woman possessed a motive sufficiently strong to urge her to murder Agstone?
55642But who admitted Agstone?
55642But why had he tried to put the blame on Mona both by placing the knife in her hand and by accusing her?
55642But why should such a familiar fragrance recall that desolate land, environed by leagues of ocean?
55642But you,"he glanced suspiciously at Prelice,"how did you know?"
55642By the way, did you give any portion of that herb away, Horace?"
55642By the way, if you know so little of the game, why detain me?"
55642Can you ask?"
55642Can you not guess what took place?
55642Did Miss Chent murder her uncle to get the money?"
55642Did you close the outer door?"
55642Did you come here to insult me?"
55642Did you make use of it?"
55642Did you recognise her?"
55642Did you swear yourself?"
55642Do I look like a tripper?"
55642Do n''t I tell you that I''ve called to see her?
55642Do you believe Agstone''s story?"
55642Do you know why I have come?"
55642Do you know why I take so deep an interest in this case?"
55642Do you remain here?"
55642Do you think they will hang him?"
55642Do you want to be disgraced?"
55642Doctor,"he glanced at the young man attending to Shepworth,"is your patient reviving?"
55642Dorry, have you a match?"
55642Eh?"
55642Eh?"
55642Has Ned selected you for that post?"
55642Have you any idea of what he means?"
55642Have you no reverence, Prelice?"
55642He wished to get the things over as speedily as possible, as he saw how strung up she was; and yet until he was certain how could he accuse Rover?
55642Horace?"
55642Horace?"
55642How did Mr. Haken know he would be there?"
55642How did it happen, Mona, my dear?"
55642How does he propose to save Miss Chent?"
55642How the deuce did you come to the Court, Dorry?"
55642How was she dressed?"
55642How will Lady Sophia like a scandal of that sort?
55642I kept to my part of the bargain----""And did n''t your husband keep to his?"
55642I know you are thinking of the will being brought here by Horace; but why should not his story be a true one, since Agstone is his brother?"
55642I must have a personal interview with Captain Jadby, and ask him----""Ask him what?"
55642I quite believe it; but where?"
55642I speak plainly, do I not?
55642I understand then that you, Captain Jadby, and you, Madame Marie, accuse Mr. Haken of killing Sir Oliver Lanwin and Steve Agstone?"
55642I wonder if this is what Horace meant when he said that I would be sorry if I searched further into the case?
55642If need be, he was resolved to shoot the buccaneer; and who can blame him, considering how basely Jadby had acted?
55642If the dress is in Dolly Rover''s wardrobe, what then?
55642In cross- examination, Cudworth for the defence asked:"Do you believe that prisoner is capable of committing the alleged crime?"
55642Is he here?"
55642Is that dress you wore at your ball in your room?"
55642Is that her real name?"
55642Lady Sophia almost screamed,"a masked ball, and at my age?
55642Martaban?"
55642Miss Chent?
55642Ned, are you in?"
55642Ned, you are engaged to Miss Chent-- why do n''t you speak?"
55642Now what am I?"
55642Now, Lord Prelice, you can see that if Jadby married Miss Chent, the elder woman would lose him----""Madame Marie, you mean?"
55642Now, if guilty, why should she destroy a document which gave her ten thousand a year?"
55642Oh, how can you be so ridiculous, Prelice?
55642Oh, what is it?"
55642On what grounds?"
55642Otherwise, why should she be scented with the perfume of the Sacred Herb, which has to do with both crimes?"
55642Prelice did so promptly, and inquired:"Why?"
55642Prelice was quite unmoved,"so you did make use of that key?"
55642Purposely?"
55642Rover''s?"
55642Rover?"
55642Rover?"
55642Shall I take it to the New Bailey, and give judge and jury and counsel a practical illustration of how Miss Chent and Shepworth went into trances?"
55642She told me there was some trouble over these murders----""You know about them?"
55642Shepworth?"
55642Shepworth?"
55642So Jadby was the Continental swell whom you told me that you were to meet?"
55642Surely you do not believe what she says in that shoddy room of hers?"
55642That I murdered Lanwin?"
55642That''s rather a German sentence, is n''t it?"
55642The lady who wore it was scented with tuberoses----""With tuberoses?"
55642Then you believe Miss Chent''s improbable story?"
55642This lady, who came in with Agstone, and waved the cup under your nose to make you insensible-- she wore a green mask, you said?"
55642To marry a girl out of gaol?
55642Until then?"
55642Was it Dolly?"
55642Was this what Horace had warned him against when he advised him to leave the case alone?
55642Well then, what happened?"
55642Well, and what do you say?"
55642Well, and what statement did he make to you, and when did he make it?"
55642Well, what is it?
55642Well?"
55642Well?"
55642Well?"
55642Well?"
55642Well?"
55642Well?"
55642Well?"
55642What did Jadby do?"
55642What do you intend to do about Constance?"
55642What do you mean by mentioning the police?"
55642What else is to be done, I should like to know?"
55642What happened next?"
55642What has he got to do with it?"
55642What has that to do with it?"
55642What honour?"
55642What is the matter?"
55642What is the time, Prelice?"
55642What is to prevent me from shooting you and racing on deck to swim ashore?"
55642What key?"
55642What next?"
55642What of him?"
55642What put that into your head?"
55642What thing?"
55642When will you marry me?"
55642Where are you going now?"
55642Where have I seen it-- where?"
55642Where?"
55642Who is Ned?"
55642Who is the other man-- the dead man?"
55642Who murdered Sir Oliver?
55642Who murdered him?"
55642Why are you so mysterious?"
55642Why at five?"
55642Why did n''t you write me that you were engaged?"
55642Why do n''t you accuse him?"
55642Why do you ask that?"
55642Why do you laugh?"
55642Why do you look at me like that?"
55642Why should I have expected a witness for the prosecution to call upon me?
55642Why should I?"
55642Why should he have murdered him?
55642Why should he?"
55642Why should not Simon Haken enjoy himself in this way if he liked, and turn Mrs. Rover''s ballroom into an office, wherein to meet his foreign clients?
55642Why should not that friend be Lady Sophia, whose support could do much to efface the stain of a Criminal Court?
55642Why should we?"
55642Will you go to bed?"
55642Will you place me in the dock beside Mona?"
55642Would I receive a murderess?"
55642Would you like to see your husband get into trouble?"
55642Yet what else could the girl say?
55642You ca n''t expect me to stand that?"
55642You can hardly have come to accuse me of these crimes?"
55642You can swear to that?"
55642You knew Agstone?"
55642You understand, gentlemen?
55642asked Bruge swiftly,"that the dead man is Agstone?"
55642assented Lord Prelice thoughtfully;"but how did Madame Marie learn what kind of a costume Constance would wear?"
55642broke in Prelice impulsively,"then you are a half- caste?"
55642cried Mona, sitting bolt upright,"then he did not accuse me again?"
55642he broke off, and his wild eyes went roving round the room,"where is the woman?"
55642now what the dickens do I know about Easter Island in connection with this case?"
55642said Prelice suddenly,"did Agstone confess the truth to Horace?"
55642what does it all mean?"
57088''Are you still fond of him?'' 57088 ''Ave I not seen you before?"
57088''But how did you get here?'' 57088 ''But what is the use?''
57088''How could I be?'' 57088 ''In Managuay?''
57088''Well, you''re a politician, are n''t you?'' 57088 ''What have you heard about him lately?''
57088''What is politics, anyway?'' 57088 ''What party does my Uncle Tony belong to?''
57088''What things?'' 57088 ''What''s the matter with me?''
57088''Where?'' 57088 A what?"
57088Ah, was that you? 57088 All right back there?"
57088Am I no more to you than a kind of detective to be dropped as soon as this case is done with?
57088Amy W."What''s orders for the afternoon?
57088An American?
57088And Amy?
57088And Señor Francisco? 57088 And let Nosey the bar- tender in on our business?
57088And those others down- stairs? 57088 And who were the other two ladies?"
57088Anythin''like a creamery?
57088Anything else?
57088Are they of the family of Señor Francisco de Socotra?
57088Are you a brave man?
57088Are you afraid?
57088Are you countin''on carrying a ladder through the streets after midnight? 57088 Are you game to turn another trick before daylight?"
57088Are you mad?
57088Are you trying to insult him?
57088Authorization from whom?
57088Been in this town long?
57088Blossom, you heard? 57088 Booze?"
57088Bug- house, I guess?
57088Bull, how are you on climbing fences?
57088But if I still feel obliged to decline this charming invitation?
57088But if that is so, how is it he is registered here? 57088 But that little girl, who was she?"
57088But why?
57088But you will at least delay the shipment of the body until I can get in communication with the dead man''s niece?
57088By whom?
57088Cabled me?
57088Can I do anything for you?
57088Can I get up- stairs by the service elevator, and have a word with the maid?
57088Can you suggest anybody?
57088Can you tell me the situation in Managuay that has resulted in this crime?
57088Could you disguise me?
57088Dead?
57088Detectives, then? 57088 Did he give you an address?"
57088Did my-- did that man who was riding with you know?
57088Did she tell you that?
57088Did you get the number?
57088Did you read the labels before you loaded them in?
57088Did you tell him?
57088Do n''t you know me?
57088Do n''t you want to come too, Bessie?
57088Do n''t you want to lay a complaint against him?
57088Do they send the bodies right out to the crematory to- night?
57088Do you know anything about disguises?
57088Do you know anything about the place?
57088Do you know the house you want to go to?
57088Do you know where de Socotra is at this moment?
57088Do you know who I am?
57088Do you mean that I''m taking advantage of her?
57088Do you mean that you do n''t care to help an engaged girl?
57088Do you mean that?
57088Do you mean to say that murder was your trade?
57088Do you mind staking me for a little breakfast?
57088Do you speak English?
57088Do you want to leave him behind to identify us all?
57088Do you want to stay on here?
57088Drunk? 57088 Expectin''somebody?"
57088Find out who he''s been telephoning to, will you? 57088 Gas running low?"
57088H''are yeh?
57088H''are you?
57088Has he his bag with him?
57088Has the crime been reported to the police?
57088Have I got to deal him a knockout blow?
57088Have you any news? 57088 Have you got it?"
57088Have you got the little black book?
57088Have you seen my friend that brought her in?
57088Hickey, where can we get a ten- foot ladder?
57088How about a window- cleaner''s ladder? 57088 How about me?"
57088How can I get you?
57088How can I help you?
57088How can I trust you if you will not trust me?
57088How can you pull off a hold- up without a gun?
57088How could he? 57088 How could one find out if it was found?"
57088How did it happen?
57088How did you do it?
57088How did you get in on this?
57088How did you happen to come here?
57088How do you feel now, Jack? 57088 How do you purpose getting hold of it?"
57088How should I know?
57088How was I to know that?
57088How''in order?''
57088How''s business?
57088How?
57088I thought I saw a man down- stairs-- or did I dream it? 57088 If the cab''s yours where is it now?"
57088In order to take it away from me later?
57088In this? 57088 Is anybody going to be hanged?"
57088Is he on de Socotra''s side?
57088Is it because you think he might not be willing to help you run down the murderers of Antonio Bareda?
57088Is it here now?
57088Is it so?
57088Is n''t there an old saying to the effect that in boldness there is safety? 57088 Is she out of the place?"
57088Is that all?
57088Is the crematory near the station?
57088Is the door locked?
57088Is the family all up- stairs?
57088Joint?
57088Let me sleep awhile in the flivver, will yeh? 57088 Like that you saw in the hotel up- town?"
57088Live there?
57088Look here, when you have shipped this body, your interest in it is at an end, is n''t it?
57088May I ask what is your interest in the matter?
57088May I see it?
57088Miss, did you call?
57088Must you?
57088Must? 57088 Need you ask that?"
57088No one saw you drop it there,--Bianca?
57088Oh you did, did you? 57088 On the level, was it you here this afternoon, made up like a bum taxi- driver and all?"
57088On the level?
57088On top of everything to- night?
57088Only into her hands, see?
57088Perhaps you never heard of Managuay?
57088Perhaps you thought I was mad?
57088Peru?
57088Say fella,said this individual with engaging impudence;"drink with me, will yeh, if it''s not a liberty?"
57088Say, who''s telling this, you or me?
57088Shall I try to pick up a little trade until 4.45?
57088Shall we follow?
57088Suppose I need you again?
57088Suppose the driver has a gun?
57088Suppose there''s two of them?
57088Taxi, sir?
57088That has a window over the front door?
57088That''s your cab there?
57088The little black book?
57088Then all is known?
57088Then how did you come to take an interest in this case?
57088Then must he go free?
57088Then that was why the man was so anxious to sell you the cab?
57088Then why have n''t you told him?
57088Then you mean it, a hold- up?
57088This you, Frank? 57088 This your cab?"
57088Very handsome man,Greg went on,"do you know him?"
57088Watch for it for me, will you?
57088We follow the tall man?
57088Well, last night I heard a crash of breaking glass-- there it lies still on the sidewalk, see? 57088 Well, my dear?"
57088Well, what do you want me to do?
57088Well, why do n''t you try that? 57088 Well, why not?
57088What about the boy who gave the alarm?
57088What about? 57088 What affairs?"
57088What are you drinking?
57088What are you getting at?
57088What are you going to do?
57088What as?
57088What country is that?
57088What did you do to poor Henry? 57088 What did you make of him?"
57088What did you say?
57088What difference does it make how I came here if the main thing for both of us is to get out?
57088What difference does that make?
57088What do you care so long as you get your pay?
57088What do you know about me?
57088What do you know?
57088What do you make of it?
57088What do you mean then?
57088What do you mean, safer?
57088What do you mean? 57088 What do you mean?"
57088What do you mean?
57088What do you mean?
57088What do you mean?
57088What do you propose?
57088What do you suppose is his object now in masquerading as the man he killed?
57088What do you think of him?
57088What do you think you understand?
57088What do you want of me?
57088What do you want?
57088What does he come here for?
57088What gang?
57088What had happened to him?
57088What happened?
57088What has become of it?
57088What has happened here?
57088What has that got to do with it?
57088What have you done with-- you know-- It?
57088What have you got to grouse about? 57088 What is it then?"
57088What is it?
57088What is that for?
57088What is that?
57088What is the use of making pretenses among us three? 57088 What killed the old man?"
57088What kind of book?
57088What kind of man was with him?
57088What must you think of me appearing from nowhere?
57088What name, please?
57088What name?
57088What now?
57088What of it?
57088What reason did he give for getting out of the cab on the way over?
57088What sort of joint is this anyhow?
57088What sort of person?
57088What steps did you take to get me out?
57088What time are you sending the body out there?
57088What time do you suppose it is?
57088What time does the train get here that brings the-- er-- bodies to the crematory?
57088What was he like, the dead man?
57088What was that you brought?
57088What will I do with this fellow, sir?
57088What''ll you have?
57088What''s for me to do?
57088What''s happened?
57088What''s that for?
57088What''s the matter with you?
57088What''s the matter? 57088 What''s the matter?
57088What''s the matter?
57088What''s the matter?
57088What''s the program for to- night?
57088What''s their game?
57088What''s up?
57088When could he have told him?
57088When did you start loving me, Greg?
57088When do you want me to come?
57088When the little book dropped out on the floor,''What''s that?'' 57088 Where are you taking that man?"
57088Where did you ever meet him?
57088Where did you go then?
57088Where did you pick up the drunken man?
57088Where do I come in? 57088 Where does that door lead to?"
57088Where is Frank?
57088Where is the book?
57088Where is the crematory?
57088Where to in Jersey City?
57088Where to, sir?
57088Where to, sir?
57088Where to, sir?
57088Where to, sir?
57088Where to?
57088Where to?
57088Where''ll we change?
57088Where''s the two hundred you got from me?
57088Where?
57088Who are these men? 57088 Who are you, and what are you doing in this house?"
57088Who are you?
57088Who are you?
57088Who are you?
57088Who are you?
57088Who can run it?
57088Who cut my car?
57088Who did he ask for?
57088Who is Yew- neth?
57088Who is he?
57088Who sent you here, really?
57088Who told you I was engaged?
57088Who was the poor old guy?
57088Who, the policeman?
57088Whom shall I ask for at the door?
57088Whose?
57088Why are you quarreling with me then?
57088Why ca n''t undertakers be simply business- like?
57088Why did Francisco put me in that place?
57088Why did n''t you stop when I first told you?
57088Why did you stop me?
57088Why do n''t you throw up the window yonder and call for help?
57088Why have n''t you told Mr. Saunders everything that has happened?
57088Why not?
57088Why should I trust you?
57088Why should n''t a taxi- driver be giving a friend a lift, especially at this time of night?
57088Why the top?
57088Why will I not?
57088Will Pa wait for me?
57088Will she have her boy''s pants on?
57088Will you take a job for me, Pa?
57088Without saying whether or not there is any such person here,he said smoothly,"may I ask what your purpose is in asking?"
57088Would you be willing----?
57088Would you expect me to go on the witness stand and swear his life away-- with mamma listening there? 57088 Would you mind describing this man to me?"
57088Would you recognize the young man with the little black mustache if you saw him again?
57088You ai n''t goin''to leave me out of the fun, are you, Greg? 57088 You are engaged then?"
57088You are from Managuay?
57088You are hungry?
57088You did n''t think_ I_ croaked the guy, did you?
57088You follow me into that bar?
57088You gave her my message?
57088You have it? 57088 You have n''t a room opening on a fire- escape have you?"
57088You know me?
57088You mean he''s going to impersonate Bareda when he sees the President?
57088You see what happened now?
57088You want to see me?
57088You wo n''t mind if I empty out the shells?
57088You''re a bit off your regular beat to- night, ai n''t you?
57088''Do you know anything about me?
57088''Do you mean to tell me that you are going to depend on any chance taxi- cab that you pick up on the pier?''
57088''How did you get hold of Nina?''
57088''What on earth made you think of him just then?''
57088''Where everybody and everything is known?
57088...""What became of the old flivver, Greg?"
57088A baritone voice hailed him from the back door of the little house, a voice with a"no- nonsense- now"ring:"Hey, fella, what do you want?"
57088A friend brought my cab in for me, a young boy; you did n''t happen to see him, did you?"
57088And anyway why should a detective want to take him to Jersey City?
57088And when his nibs ai n''t looking I gives him a little sign that that is his nibs, see?
57088And when we got here I forced you to do my bidding at the point of a pistol, see?"
57088Any more hold- ups or runaways?
57088Are n''t you afraid sometimes?"
57088Are they leaving?"
57088Are you armed?"
57088Are you game for it?"
57088Are you obliged to lay a charge against him?"
57088Are you satisfied with that?''
57088Are you willing to take a sporting chance?"
57088Are your hands more comfortable now?"
57088As soon as you get the cop all worked up you make a quiet sneak, see?
57088As they rolled out of the ferry house on the Jersey City side Greg said:"Where to?"
57088At last he asked very off- hand:"Would you call driving a taxi a trade?"
57088But as the wife of Mr. Saunders do you expect to lead the kind of life your uncle recommended?"
57088But have you the proof?
57088But suppose, just as he started to drag it out of the cab, some one turned into the street, or came out of one of the houses?
57088But to wait here in suspense-- how can I endure it?"
57088But what had become of her when daylight overtook her?
57088But what is in it?
57088But who are you, an officer?
57088By the way, what is the name of the people who own that apartment?"
57088Can we bring it home to that damned cold villain?"
57088Can you get up?"
57088Could he after all be deceived in his man?
57088Did you claim my baggage on the pier?"
57088Did you ever feel like that?
57088Did_ he_ get more?
57088Do those windows open?"
57088Do you get me?
57088Do you know any window- cleaners?"
57088Do you know him too?"
57088Do you mind if I bring them up for a moment?"
57088Do you mind if I wait here with you?"
57088Do you understand that if the slightest thing goes wrong it will mean complete ruin for all of us?
57088Do you understand the importance of it?
57088Do you understand?''
57088Do you want to arouse the neighborhood?"
57088Do you wish to remind me that it is your cab, and you have a right to come?"
57088Does she think I am a complete idiot?
57088Finally Greg said:"Why do you treat me so?"
57088Finally he said:"What do you want me to do?"
57088Finally, unable to bear it any longer she asks with an innocent air to whom am I writing?
57088Greg pursued,"I mean what sort of a reputation it bears?"
57088Greg whispered back:"Is the door locked?"
57088Had he looked inside?
57088Has he stolen that too?
57088Have you any baggage?"
57088Have you anything to write it down with?"
57088Have you got a case for them?"
57088He did not answer Greg directly but said suggestively:"Spanish- American and your cousin?"
57088He had left the door open behind him; was it to tempt Greg in?
57088He knew the very air, the confidential, everything- goes- between- good- fellows air with which he must touch his cap and say:"Cab, sir?"
57088He say:''Is she sick?''
57088He say:''What''s the matter with Bianca?''
57088He say:''Where is the book you stole?''
57088He told me to take them to Jersey City by the Twenty- third Street ferry, see?
57088He wanted to make friends, see?
57088Hickey, drive me over to West Broadway, will you?"
57088Hickey,"he said suddenly,"can you drive Pa Simmons''car, the Pack- Arrow?"
57088How are you?"
57088How can I eat with my hands tied?"
57088How could he deal with two women?
57088How could he warn Amy in time?
57088How could we take it?"
57088How did I know but what the man was lying?"
57088How did they get it?"
57088How did you get out of jail?"
57088How did you guess it?"
57088How did you happen to come here?"
57088How did you know you''d find me here?"
57088How many more questions do you expect me to answer?"
57088How should he have noticed the tiny needle prick on the man''s throat?
57088I am not at all prudish, but I could n''t very well-- well, could I?
57088I see my little mistress run around the corner and get in a cab,--was it your cab?
57088I''ll be back for you after one o''clock to- night, with a ladder, understand?
57088I''m a respectable woman and I wo n''t stand for no crooked work, see?
57088If I detain him here until after lunch, could you have his room at the hotel searched?
57088If anybody comes out you are to jump on him and frisk him for the little black book, see?
57088If she were de Socotra''s daughter how could she be an American as she had so proudly asserted?
57088If the body is missing, will it be possible to bring the crime home to the murderer?"
57088If this body happened to come back here from another direction would you accept an order to embalm it?"
57088In the middle of all this he pulled himself up short and a great breath escaped him-- was it of relief?
57088Is Blossom back?"
57088It is safe?"
57088Leaving somebody behind you?"
57088Look here, if I bring a reputable physician here will you allow him to perform an autopsy?"
57088Meanwhile the question was hammering on Greg''s brain:"What am I to do?
57088Must he end in that house like a trapped rat?
57088Oh, what is the matter?''
57088On the platform Blossom gets wise to me, see?
57088Or suppose, as was not unlikely, that the crime was already known, and the police even now were in search of a cab bearing his number?
57088Perhaps he ought to stop and set the body up on the seat and put its hat on its head-- but what was the use?
57088Presently Hickey asked nervously:"What''s the program for to- night?
57088Queer kind of post- office, is n''t it?
57088Señor Francisco say:''For God''s sake, what''s the matter?
57088Señorita Bianca say:''Who was that at the door, Nina?''
57088She is here, is n''t she?"
57088She say:''Where is his overcoat?''
57088She''s a landaulet, see?
57088So I goes to the pier and I draws two of them dagoes; one was him that I threw in with the flivver, see?
57088So it''s up to you, see?"
57088Suppose this person were bound for the Sanitarium?
57088Tell her her father is coming back and to beat it, see?
57088The Crematory''s not marked on the map but----""What''s a crematory?"
57088The Señora say like a person in a dream:''What is the matter?
57088The cab seemed to be all right, but this was the lesser half of his anxieties; where was its late driver?
57088The clothes are mine, ai n''t they?
57088The grand question was, was he looking for the real or the false Bareda?
57088The idea is to give plenty of action, see?
57088The voice went on:"Say, ca n''t you get up?
57088The young man spoke again-- was it to ask when Señor Bareda would return?
57088Then this is a disguise?"
57088This is the fellow who passes you notes for the little Spanish lady, do you get me?
57088This was what Greg heard over the wire in Pa Simmons''crinkly voice:"This you, Greg?
57088To what do I owe the pleasure of this call?"
57088Unless I have offended you in some way----""Well, I ca n''t be riding around in taxi- cabs at one o''clock in the morning with a strange man, can I?"
57088Was it possible he had seen or was this just the maundering of a drunken man?
57088Was it possible that Amy''s fiancà © intended to betray them?
57088Well, when one of them little vessels docks at night it gives us fellows a show, see?
57088What am I to do?"
57088What are they?"
57088What chance has the truth of being spoken?
57088What chance would we have of foisting any of our people off on Bareda?
57088What could be the matter?
57088What could she do?
57088What do I get out of this?
57088What do you know about that?"
57088What do you make of it?"
57088What do you want me to do now?"
57088What do you wish me to suppose when you come anyway?
57088What does he do?"
57088What had the mistress confided to her maid, that made the latter look at him so?
57088What have I done?"
57088What have they taught you, my child, except how to dress well?''
57088What is the consequence?
57088What party do you belong to?''
57088What was I to do?
57088What was I to do?"
57088What was the nature of Saunders''communication?
57088What would she want with the likes of me?"
57088What would your uncle have said about him?"
57088What''s he done?"
57088What''s the matter with you?"
57088What''s yours?"
57088When did it happen?"
57088When did you start loving me?"
57088When they left her Amy said:"You understand now why I acted as I did?"
57088When you drop him go on for half a block and wait for me, will you?
57088When, having completed the circuit of the long block, they drew up before the Brevard House again, Hickey said anxiously:"Well?"
57088Where can we go now?"
57088Where did you take him over there?"
57088Where is it?''
57088Where''s Hickey?"
57088Which girl was he after then?
57088Which house is number 16 in?"
57088Who are you?
57088Who gave you my name?
57088Why did n''t you buy a taxi- cab, and put one of our men on it?''
57088Why did n''t you have him taken to the Ninth Street house?
57088Why did n''t you want me to come?"
57088Why do we have to put up with her?
57088Why do you stay where you are if you are surrounded by enemies?
57088Why must he?"
57088Why not dump the body out where he was, and let things take their course?
57088Why not?
57088Why not?"
57088Why?
57088Why?''
57088Will you do me the favor of investigating the address?"
57088With the judges and the machine guns on the other side what could a poor man do?
57088Without looking at Amy he murmured:"Will you come back-- and stay with mamma?"
57088Wo n''t you tell me how you came here?"
57088Would he dare mount it?
57088Would he shoot?
57088You are sure he had no hand in it?"
57088You can tell the ladies when you come back that your own car broke down, see?
57088You have had no answer to your cable to Estuban?"
57088You think this quite the fair thing?"
57088You''ve got the flivver, have n''t you?
57088_ His_ men?"
57088a detective?"
57088asked Ginger anxiously,"give it up?"
57088asked Greg anxiously,"young boy?"
57088asked Hickey,"a South American millionaire?"
57088he murmured,"you''re all right?"
57088he said,"are n''t you the man who drove me earlier this evening?"
57088they were all Spanish, were n''t they?"
57088what I stand for?
57088what de Socotra stands for?''
57088what for?"
57088what had she done with the cab?
57088what put the idea of politics into your head?''
57088who is he?"
55956A kind of clerical Eugene Aram?
55956A lawyer and superstitious?
55956About what?
55956After all, if Mrs. Beatson did n''t kill Leigh, who did? 55956 After all, if she had the will on the night Leigh was got rid of, and committed the crime, why should she bury it?"
55956All what?
55956Am I hungry?
55956Am I not saying so?
55956Am I the man to try and do you out of them?
55956Am I, indeed? 55956 Am I?"
55956Am I?
55956And Mallien''s descent?
55956And Mrs. Beatson wants you all to live together on her annuity?
55956And eat the potted tongue your housekeeper has been talking about to Dorinda?
55956And his attitude toward Mallien?
55956And his name?
55956And how did she know?
55956And how did you know the spot where it was buried?
55956And how do you intend to do that, my good man?
55956And if I do n''t?
55956And if I give you all I have, you will condone a felony?
55956And if the will is not found?
55956And if you do not?
55956And if you do?
55956And lose the property?
55956And on what charge?
55956And the will?
55956And what about Dorinda?
55956And what about me?
55956And what be you here fur, Squoire? 55956 And what could I do, Squoire?"
55956And what do you know?
55956And what might that be, Squoire?
55956And who is Leigh?
55956And who will take the word of a drunkard?
55956And why do you say that you expect I have found that out? 55956 And will you obey him?"
55956And you have four thousand per annum.--What about your tithes?
55956And you saw nothing of Mr. Leigh until seven the next morning?
55956And you will see them----?
55956And you will take advantage of this infernal Statute?
55956And you will take the risk of being proved an accessory after the fact?
55956And you?
55956And you?
55956And-- if you can-- prevent Dorinda marrying Hendle?
55956Are you against me also, sir?
55956Are you determined to behave in this unjust way, Mallien?
55956Are you sure of what you are saying?
55956Are you taking me to see the ruins of Babylon?
55956As how?
55956As the lord of the manor, why do n''t you insist upon his keeping the place in repair?
55956As you have known her all her life, I presume she lives hereabouts?
55956Better without?
55956But seeing what is involved, Mr. Hendle, is n''t there some danger of a scandal if any public statement is made?
55956But the next morning, Titus, when you heard the vicar was dead----?
55956But what about that opal in the matrix which belongs to my cousin? 55956 But what is best to be done?"
55956But what will you say to your father?
55956But who on earth could have murdered him, Kensit?
55956But who was he? 55956 But who would commit a burglary here?"
55956But why do you suspect her of eavesdropping?
55956But why is Dr. Tollart here?
55956But you do n''t mean to infer that she killed the vicar?
55956But you saw Mr. Carrington about the house?
55956But your father surely did not admit that he was guilty, Dorinda?
55956Catalepsy?
55956Come now,said the barrister, when the door was closed and the trio were alone,"what have you got to say to all this?"
55956Coming again so soon,said Dorinda, remembering her father''s warnings against the barrister,"and why?"
55956Dear me, Mr. Mallien, are you there? 55956 Did Carrington try to escape observation?"
55956Did Dr. Tollart connect Carrington with the murder?
55956Did Mr. Leigh expect anyone to visit him on that night?
55956Did he offer you safety on those terms?
55956Did he speak to him?
55956Did he tell you so?
55956Did that housekeeper hear any noise?
55956Did you ever see such a pig sty?
55956Did you find it?
55956Did you lock the window again after admitting Carrington?
55956Did you tell anyone else about the will?
55956Did you tell him before the crime was committed?
55956Do n''t you find plain speech a refreshing novelty?
55956Do n''t you know that Mr. Carrington sent for my father the other day, and had an interview with him at_ The Hendle Arms?_"No. 55956 Do n''t you know that Mr. Leigh is dead?"
55956Do n''t you remember how I wrote and told you of the death of my father? 55956 Do n''t you?"
55956Do we understand one another?
55956Do you hear how I am spoken to?
55956Do you know anything of his past life?
55956Do you know if he expected visitors, sir?
55956Do you mean me?
55956Do you mean to say that you have left The Big House?
55956Do you really think so, Dorinda?
55956Do you think a burglar killed him, sir?
55956Do you think she is speaking the truth, Hendle?
55956Do you think that I ca n''t see through your pretended search?
55956Do you think that everyone is so sordid as you are, Mallien? 55956 Do you think that the man is guilty?"
55956Do you think we have acted rightly, Rupert?
55956Do you want to give the show away? 55956 Do you want your neck twisted?"
55956Does Dorinda say so?
55956Does he know your family history?
55956Does he want to see it?
55956Does his going back to the Big House look like it?
55956Does it leave the property to my father?
55956Does she want you to go to Australia, Miss Tollart?
55956Does she-- do you-- suspect my cousin?
55956Dull stuff my father wrote, did n''t he?
55956Eh, what?
55956Enmity?
55956Give it to you?
55956Go there; go to Yucatan,cried Mallien, staring;"an old buffer like you?"
55956Good Lord, Carrington, you do n''t infer that Mallien murdered the vicar?
55956Had he any enemies?
55956Had you any idea who murdered him?
55956Has any stranger from London been seen about the village?
55956Has he ever behaved otherwise than honorably? 55956 Has the weapon been found?"
55956Have you any idea now?
55956Have you been outrunning the constable?
55956Have you said anything to her?
55956Have you seen her? 55956 He says he will, but how can he prove it?"
55956Hendle,--Carrington turned to his former friend with a cry, half of rage and half of fear--"will you stand by and hear this said of me?"
55956How are we going to prove him to be guilty?
55956How are you, Miss Mallien?
55956How can I bear your burden when you wo n''t tell me what it is?
55956How can I believe any good when everyone is so selfish?
55956How can I give you what you do n''t deserve? 55956 How can it be sudden after my being engaged for twenty- four months?"
55956How can we when she wants everyone to bow down to her?
55956How can you advise me to be so dishonest,cried the Squire, indignantly,"you who are a clergyman of the Church of England?"
55956How can you fit out an expedition on your income?
55956How can you prove that I did?
55956How can you prove that I was at the Vicarage on that night?
55956How can you prove that you did not?
55956How can you prove that?
55956How can you suggest such a thing? 55956 How could I,"sobbed Mrs. Beatson,"when I have n''t been near London?
55956How could it be when the will in favor of Eunice was missing?
55956How could she comfort you when you refuse to explain things to her?
55956How dare you address me in that way?
55956How dare you say such a thing to me, Mr. Carrington? 55956 How dare you sit there and tell lies about me?"
55956How dare you speak to me in that way?
55956How do you expect me to welcome you as a daughter- in- law when you behave toward me in this impertinent manner?
55956How do you know that I have anything to explain?
55956How do you know that?
55956How do you know that?
55956How do you mean?
55956How else do you expect me to put it?
55956How is your father behaving?
55956How so?
55956How then did Hendle and I find the opal near the sundial?
55956How''s business, Kit?
55956I am quite innocent, so why should n''t I be calm?
55956I should like to know why you knocked me down at all?
55956I suppose you do n''t know who murdered him?
55956I suppose,he remarked, laying a trap for his foe,"that if I hand you over the property, will or no will, you wo n''t say anything to the police?"
55956I thought that Rupert----?
55956I thought you were a man?
55956I understand that you are a staunch and true woman,he said, in a soft voice,"how you came to have such a father----?"
55956I understand that you have not seen the will?
55956I''ll take care of that,he said, with a nod;"but what is the paper about?"
55956If Leigh finds the will, I presume he will bring it to you this evening at The Big House?
55956If he is, why ca n''t he show that he is? 55956 If it is a lie,"said Carrington, quite unmoved by her sudden fury,"how comes it that the will is in your possession?"
55956If we got married, how could I support you? 55956 If we join forces, what will you ask for your services?"
55956In the Muniment Room?
55956In what way?
55956Is it so hard to understand?
55956Is my father playing the game?
55956Is n''t it? 55956 Is n''t that rather sudden?"
55956Is n''t there? 55956 Is that all the praise you can bestow on your future wife?"
55956Is the day hot?
55956Is there any need to worry you?
55956Is this so, Hendle?
55956Is your vicar an owl or a jackal that he can live here?
55956It is probable he would, since he has such a sweet nature,said Carrington dryly;"but would Miss Mallien obey him?"
55956It''s hard, I grant,replied Rupert ruefully;"yet, as an honest man, what else can I do?"
55956John Hendle''s will?
55956Kit, will you sit there and hear me insulted?
55956Knew all what?
55956Knowing Hendle as you do, why did you think that?
55956Knowing me as you do, can you think me guilty of so cowardly a crime, as to strike down an old man?
55956Miss Mallien? 55956 Missing?"
55956My dear,Dorinda''s eyes opened widely,"what else was there to tell?"
55956My duties----?
55956My knowledge of human nature----"Oh, is that all?
55956Nice business, is n''t it, Hendle? 55956 No, I have n''t, unless it was the person who sent that letter?"
55956Now did n''t I, Squoire?
55956Now how much of this tale are we to believe?
55956Of course, you will keep Mrs. Beatson quiet?
55956Of two hundred a year?
55956Oh, did you? 55956 Oh, do you?"
55956Oh, does it?
55956Oh, have you? 55956 Oh, is there?
55956Oh, should I?
55956Oh, that is your opinion, is it?
55956Oh, would I? 55956 On the other hand, if the will is found and proves to be illegal?
55956Port? 55956 Put what things right?"
55956Search? 55956 So Mallien did not tell her that?"
55956So you met Mr. Mallien in the avenue of my place after you had buried the will?
55956So your evidence is purely circumstantial?
55956Some one must have murdered him,said Kit, a trifle dryly;"and why not Mr. Carrington, rather than your father, or the Squire?
55956Sophy, are you certain?
55956Suppose Carrington does n''t come?
55956Tell me how your descent runs from John Hendle?
55956That I should surrender my claim to the property, I suppose?
55956That Mrs. Beatson is the guilty person?
55956That is the younger son from whom Rupert is descended?
55956That sour- looking woman with the hard eye?
55956That you will come home safe and sound?
55956The loss of liberty and, perhaps, of life----"Rupert, what are you talking about?
55956The question is, what am I to do?
55956The will?
55956Then how can you expect me to bear your burden, as you put it? 55956 Then how comes it you have to do with it now?"
55956Then how do you explain your possession of the will?
55956Then how do you know the will exists?
55956Then the will really does leave the property to Eunice Filbert?
55956Then there was nothing in his past life which suggests any reason why this crime should have been committed?
55956Then why am I turned out now?
55956Then why are you here? 55956 Then why did n''t Tollart say so at the inquest?"
55956Then why did n''t you tell me as soon as Leigh told you?
55956Then you do n''t know who struck him?
55956There is no entail?
55956Treacherously?
55956Votes for Women?
55956Walk out bag and baggage, you mean?
55956We?
55956Well, and what do you want?
55956Well, and what has all this to do with your infernal insolence in asking me for five thousand pounds? 55956 Well, and why not?"
55956Well, now that we understand one another----?
55956Well, why not she as well as another? 55956 Well, why should you when you can be happier elsewhere?"
55956Well,said Dorinda lightly,"as you did n''t murder him what does it matter?"
55956Well?
55956Well?
55956Well?
55956Were you?
55956What about the police?
55956What are those lies, father?
55956What are you going to do?
55956What at? 55956 What can Mallien have to do with the matter?"
55956What can Mr. Carrington have to do with our marriage?
55956What clue could he, or would he, possibly leave?
55956What consideration did you ever show to me?
55956What could prevent our marriage?
55956What did your father tell you?
55956What do I care when I know that I am innocent?
55956What do you both mean by glaring at me in that way?
55956What do you both mean?
55956What do you mean by that, you minx?
55956What do you mean by that?
55956What do you mean by that?
55956What do you mean by that?
55956What do you mean?
55956What do you mean?
55956What do you mean?
55956What do you mean?
55956What do you mean?
55956What do you say now, Hendle?
55956What do you say, Hendle?
55956What do you say, Kit?
55956What do you say, doctor?
55956What do you say?
55956What do you suggest?
55956What do you think of this behavior?
55956What does all this mean, Rupert?
55956What does he know?
55956What does he want?
55956What does it contain?
55956What does it matter, so long as the damage wo n''t be lasting?
55956What does that prove?
55956What else can I say when you have known Rupert for so many years?
55956What else can I say? 55956 What else can you believe when the ornament, which we both know belongs to Mallien, is found on the edge of the hole where the will was buried?"
55956What else can you expect,asked Carrington coolly,"when they are connected with a drunkard like Tollart and a shrew like Mrs. Beatson?
55956What else did he tell you?
55956What for?
55956What for?
55956What good will that do?
55956What good will that do?
55956What good will that do?
55956What grounds have you to say such a thing?
55956What has he got to do with me, I should like to know? 55956 What have I to be grateful for?"
55956What is Mrs. Beatson to you that you should defend her so warmly?
55956What is his name?
55956What is it you know?
55956What is strange?
55956What is strange?
55956What is that?
55956What is the use of your talking, Carrington? 55956 What is your supposition?"
55956What letter?
55956What makes you say that?
55956What makes you think that I did such a thing?
55956What matter?
55956What on earth are you talking about?
55956What on earth brings you here, vicar?
55956What on earth makes my father say such a ridiculous thing? 55956 What other word applies to your conduct?"
55956What reason have you to believe that Rupert would do such a wicked thing?
55956What sort of a trap?
55956What the devil are you talking about?
55956What the devil do you mean, sir?
55956What the dickens do you mean by writing to me as you have done?
55956What things?
55956What wickedness?
55956What''s five hundred a year?
55956What''s gone?
55956What''s that?
55956What''s that?
55956What''s the matter with you?
55956What''s the use? 55956 What, not to protect myself when you thought of turning me out?"
55956What-- what-- what?
55956What?
55956What?
55956What?
55956What?
55956What?
55956When I was in London?
55956When did the death take place, doctor?
55956When do you return?
55956When does your mother expect her annuity?
55956Where is Yucatan?
55956Where is your opal in the matrix?
55956Whew, is n''t it hot, Hendle?
55956Who can it be, I wonder?
55956Who cares if you do know?
55956Who could have hurt him, Rupert?
55956Who do you think buried the will?
55956Who else?
55956Who is Kit?
55956Who is her father?
55956Who is leaving this annuity to your mother?
55956Who said as he was alive, Squoire? 55956 Who sent it?"
55956Who told you that Carrington threatened me?
55956Who was he?
55956Who will give it to you?
55956Who''s that?
55956Why Sophy?
55956Why ca n''t you speak straightforwardly? 55956 Why call him names, Carrington?
55956Why did n''t you go to the door?
55956Why did you turn him out of the place yesterday?
55956Why do you cry, Dorinda?
55956Why do you say that?
55956Why not surrender the property to your cousin, sir, without taking the will to the lawyers?
55956Why not to me in the first instance?
55956Why not? 55956 Why not?
55956Why not? 55956 Why not?"
55956Why not?
55956Why should I do that?
55956Why should I go?
55956Why should I interfere?
55956Why should I miss him Squoire when he bain''t dead?
55956Why should I not take advantage of the Statute, when I run a chance of being made a pauper, and not through my own fault?
55956Why should he? 55956 Why should her pride be saved?"
55956Why should n''t he?
55956Why should n''t you like him in any case?
55956Why?
55956Why?
55956Why?
55956Why?
55956Will he enter The Big House seeing that you have kicked him out?
55956Will you dispute the will?
55956Will you give up the property, Rupert?
55956Will you lose everything, sir?
55956Will you prefer Lawson to meddle instead of me?
55956Will you walk along with me toward The Big House and discuss the matter further?
55956Will you walk with me to the station to meet him?
55956Will you?
55956Wo n''t give it to me?
55956Wo n''t it be better for us to have another look at the will before we go?
55956Wo n''t you wait until to- morrow?
55956Would you not do the same under the same circumstances?
55956Would you not give me the money if you had four thousand a year?
55956Would you surrender everything without a struggle?
55956Yes?
55956Yet you know Dorinda?
55956You do n''t like him?
55956You do n''t suppose that he has any suspicions of the truth?
55956You go against your father?
55956You have been listening?
55956You infer that the assassin of Leigh was not a stranger?
55956You kicked him out, did you?
55956You mean to go back on your bargain?
55956You never intended to give me a penny had you got the money, so why should I give an income to you?
55956You refuse?
55956You retired at ten o''clock?
55956You say that you found a will, made by John Hendle, leaving the property to Eunice, from whom my cousin Mallien is descended?
55956You think they will gossip-- that your mother will talk?
55956You think you are a fine fellow, do n''t you?
55956You went to see that-- that-- that scoundrel?
55956You will keep all the money to yourself?
55956You would have done so under the same circumstances, would n''t you?
55956You would have ruined me,he said sternly,"so why should you not be done by as you intended to be done by others?"
55956You would n''t do that?
55956Your father can swear to this visit?
55956And Mallien?
55956And he knew about the will?"
55956And how did you get it, may I ask?"
55956And how do you repay me?
55956And how is Miss Dorinda?"
55956And if the will is n''t found?"
55956And this talk of our being descended from John Hendle?
55956And what deviltry is that?"
55956And what did you say?"
55956And what does he know of our family history?"
55956And what''s doing in London?"
55956And why the dickens should he give you money to go on a wild- goose chase?
55956And why?
55956And your denunciation of me to the police?"
55956At what time was the poor chap murdered?"
55956Beatson?"
55956Beatson?"
55956Beatson?"
55956Beatson?"
55956Beatson?"
55956Bothered?
55956But I thought wills were filed at Somerset House?"
55956But are n''t we twisting ropes of sand, Carrington?
55956But if he did----"she hesitated, then uttered the word faintly,"--die?"
55956But now?"
55956But what does all this mean?"
55956But what if he does?"
55956But what is the use of arguing?"
55956But what is the use of talking?"
55956But what took Mallien to the sundial?"
55956But why did you report the conversation to my cousin?"
55956But you, near at hand, and----""What is the use of talking rubbish?"
55956But, as he has made no attempt to secure it, how can I give it to him?
55956CHAPTER I SCHOOLFELLOWS"So this is your kingdom, Hendle?"
55956Ca n''t you give me details?"
55956Call yourself a man, do you?
55956Can you swear that you saw him on that night?"
55956Come now, do n''t you think it is best for us to join forces and crush Carrington?
55956Come now, what took place in the Vicarage library?"
55956Did Carrington ask you for five thousand pounds?
55956Did Mr. Leigh say if he expected any visitor last night?"
55956Did you ever see such a rotten place?"
55956Did you see any stranger about the village when you were on your rounds last night, Kensit?"
55956Did you tell Miss Mallien about it?"
55956Do n''t they keep bodies a week?"
55956Do n''t you think so?
55956Do you hear?"
55956Do you understand?"
55956Does that look like dishonesty on my part?"
55956Granting that the woman is innocent, why should the real criminal tell her where to find that which he risked his life to obtain?"
55956Has any stranger been seen hovering about the Vicarage?"
55956Has she two eyes and a nose with a mouth under it?"
55956Have I your good wishes?"
55956Have n''t I been disgracefully treated?"
55956Have you found the will?"
55956Have you seen him, sir?"
55956Have you seen the will, may I ask?"
55956He has always treated you kindly and----""Well, why should n''t he?"
55956He has no enmity against you, I suppose?"
55956He is innocent----""Is he?
55956He paused, then continued:"What train was it?"
55956Hendle?"
55956Hendle?"
55956Hendle?"
55956Her father, I expect?"
55956Hot, is n''t it?
55956How do I know?"
55956How do you do, Miss Mallien?
55956How do you know that Mr. Carrington did n''t drop the opal there when your back was turned?"
55956How does she know?
55956How should I have any idea?"
55956How then can you expect her to sympathize with you and help you when there is not perfect confidence between you?"
55956How, then, could he find it in the nighttime, hidden as it was among the bushes?"
55956I am guilty, and you will condone my guilt on condition that you get my money?"
55956I suppose his confession of the deal with Mrs. Beatson would bring him into trouble as an accessory- after- the- fact?"
55956I suppose the blow on the head killed him, sir?"
55956I suppose you have come to ask my advice as a friend?"
55956I suppose you will search for more evidence on those lines?"
55956I suppose, Mr. Hendle, you intend to give me notice?"
55956I take it that you are sure it was Carrington who came down in the same train with you, doctor?"
55956I told''em as you wor alive, did n''t I, Muster Leigh?"
55956I want you to come to- morrow to The Big House to tell Mr. Carrington that you saw him on----""Be Muster Carrington there to- morrow?"
55956I wonder what Dorinda will say?"
55956I wonder where he did spend the night?"
55956I wonder why he always has Titus at his heels?"
55956If search had not been made for the will in question, for what had the mysterious murderer been looking?
55956If the money is yours, you will have it, so why should Hendle murder a man to get what in the end would not benefit him?
55956If your conduct was not underhand, why did you not come and say good- night to me in my study as usual?"
55956In what direction am I to search?"
55956In whose favor?"
55956Is he the man, father, to kill a weakling like poor Mr. Leigh, for money which he cares very little about?
55956Is it not so?"
55956It was you, then, who dropped a clue near the sundial to incriminate Mallien?"
55956It''s my jewelry, is n''t it?"
55956Kensit, when is your Inspector coming?"
55956Leigh?"
55956Mallien?"
55956Mallien?"
55956Mallien?"
55956Now what the dickens do you want?
55956Picturesque?"
55956She''d like to stay on altogether, but Lord bless you, sir, what would the vicar do with such a slut?
55956So she intends to go to Australia, does she?
55956So your father told you of our interview in Leigh''s study?"
55956The will was never filed in the Probate Court, I take it?"
55956Then you think that the assassin was a man?"
55956Then, if I take your meaning correctly, since this will has only been found after so long a period, the Statute operates against its being legal?"
55956Those were capital days at Rugby, were n''t they, Carrington?"
55956Well, have you found it, Rupert?"
55956Well?"
55956Well?"
55956Well?"
55956What about a wife?"
55956What about it?"
55956What are you talking about?"
55956What are you talking about?"
55956What did he wish to see your father about?"
55956What do I care for your names?"
55956What do you mean by such conduct?"
55956What do you mean by that?"
55956What do you take me for?"
55956What do you take me for?"
55956What do you want?"
55956What do you want?"
55956What does Leigh mean by his nonsense?"
55956What does it matter?
55956What does it mean?"
55956What does your father say, dear?"
55956What else is that but blackmail?
55956What has she to do with the matter?"
55956What is the use of my giving him money to buy more volumes?"
55956What is to be done about the murder, Rupert?"
55956What more do you want?"
55956What other Movement is there?"
55956What then will be your attitude?"
55956What will you do then?"
55956What would you like me to do?"
55956Whatever made such a good and kind man forge that will?"
55956When did you arrive?
55956When did you enter into it?"
55956When do you hope to get it?"
55956Where is the will?"
55956Where was the will found?"
55956Who cares for honor in these days?"
55956Who inherits?"
55956Who is it you suspect?"
55956Who is she?"
55956Who knows but what the assassin may not have left some clue?"
55956Who murdered him?"
55956Why are you so exasperatingly modest?"
55956Why ca n''t you leave me alone?
55956Why did n''t he say so before?"
55956Why did n''t you come on to the church?"
55956Why did your father make a will in his favor?"
55956Why do n''t you drag Leigh out for a walk, Rupert?"
55956Why does the vicar want to go there?"
55956Why leave yourself without a penny, especially when Mallien is such an unamiable person?"
55956Why not?
55956Why not?"
55956Why not?"
55956Will Julius marry again?"
55956Will you stop to luncheon?"
55956Would you like Mr. Mallien to dwell at The Big House when you we d with his daughter?"
55956Would you not do the same were you in my position?"
55956Yes?"
55956Yet what could he say in condonation of Mrs. Beatson''s extraordinary behavior?
55956You accuse me, do you?
55956You have n''t any idea as to who killed Mr. Leigh, sir?"
55956You understand?"
55956You understand?"
55956You understand?"
55956You were at the Vicarage on that night?"
55956You will have an early dinner to- night, Mr. Hendle, will you not, as Mr. Carrington is leaving early?"
55956call yourself a man?
55956cried Dorinda, flaming up,"in what way?"
55956do n''t you think so?
55956do n''t you?
55956he asked disagreeably,"have you found John Hendle''s will?"
55956he asked;"has the lady changed her mind?
55956laughed Carrington,"and her looks?"
55956said Carrington reflectively,"it may be; but did you not send that letter from yourself to yourself?"
55956shouted Mallien furiously,"how would you have escaped suspicion seeing you came down on that night?"
55956snapped Carrington, wheeling with a contemptuous smile on his dark face,"and what do you propose to do, may I ask?"
55956sneered Carrington, remembering the hour of the murder,"then you did not commit the crime?"
55956taunted the other;"and in what way?"
55101A beard? 55101 A pointed beard?"
55101A professor-- of what?
55101A schoolmaster? 55101 A stage dagger?"
55101About what time does the third act commence?
55101Ah, you look upon the ten thousand a year as your own,said Arnold;"may I ask how you make that out?"
55101Ah,replied the American, whistling;"I see, Rufus nabbed it?"
55101Ah,said Jasher quickly,"how was that?"
55101Also ill?
55101Always for a week?
55101Am I not to go with you?
55101Am I? 55101 An''for why, sir?"
55101And Calvert came to the theatre at that time?
55101And all the time you were posing as Fane at Ajax Villa?
55101And he is engaged to marry your sister?
55101And if I am, professor, what will you do?
55101And if I refuse to pay you or Jasher?
55101And is this the singer?
55101And that she came to the house?
55101And that you saw her there?
55101And the other was brought by a messenger?
55101And what about me, Mr. Webb, if you please?
55101And what did you say?
55101And what form does her madness take?
55101And you are a cousin of the dead woman?
55101And you say I was in this room on that night-- that I sang?
55101And you took her to the villa you had prepared for Flora?
55101And you went away yachting?
55101And you will hold your tongue if I give you five thousand a year?
55101And your wife will be a baroness?
55101Any children?
55101Anything wrong, officer?
55101Are the other servants pleasant?
55101Are you a strong- minded woman?
55101Are you about to accuse her?
55101Are you satisfied?
55101Are you seeing him to- day, sir?
55101Are you sure Mr. Fane''s at the seaside?
55101Arnold, are you coming?
55101As Wentworth?
55101As he said; you doubt his statement then?
55101As how?
55101As how?
55101As though a low- down cuss like you was capable of telling it,said Tracey, in disgust;"but how did the letter come to the seaside?
55101At Hampstead?
55101At what time did she come back?
55101But I suppose some day you will be able to afford a better house?
55101But did not Jasher confess when he died?
55101But do you suspect Bocaros of knowing anything of this crime?
55101But how dare you take my letters?
55101But how did you guess that I was the man who left the house-- the man for whom the police are searching?
55101But now we''re tiled in-- you ai n''t a mason, I suppose? 55101 But the photographs?"
55101But what good will that do?
55101But what''s this for?
55101But why should she do that?
55101But why should she do that?
55101But why should this strange woman have been brought to this house-- my house-- to be murdered?
55101But you did n''t tell us everything this afternoon?
55101But you did n''t?
55101But you never said anything of this before, ma''am?
55101But, I say, Tracey, why should Jasher have killed Flora Brand?
55101But, sir,he added, turning to Calvert,"seeing that there is a danger of your being arrested, will you go on with this case?"
55101By whom?
55101Ca n''t Merry enlighten you?
55101Ca n''t you understand, Arnold? 55101 Ca n''t you understand?"
55101Can she have taken the key?
55101Can you remember the dates?
55101Can you show me the wire?
55101Can you tell me what night this was?
55101Connected?
55101Did Miss Mason look at the post- mark?
55101Did Mr. Fane bring any money into the business?
55101Did he deny that he was going to do so?
55101Did he exonerate the professor?
55101Did he promise to come?
55101Did he strike you as being confused?
55101Did n''t she give it to Merry?
55101Did n''t you light out after him?
55101Did not Miss Mason mention me?
55101Did she ever go out to concerts or theatres or anywhere?
55101Did she explain why she went to town?
55101Did she pay her bills regularly?
55101Did she rent the cottage in her own name?
55101Did she seem disturbed?
55101Did she sing?
55101Did she tell you this when you met?
55101Did she?
55101Did they tell you about the money?
55101Did you drive up to the door?
55101Did you ever see his portrait?
55101Did you go at once to the villa?
55101Did you know that Mr. Fane had a similar white room?
55101Did you meet him?
55101Did you mention your cousin''s name?
55101Did you not send the key to me?
55101Did you really come to the villa?
55101Did you reply to the forged letter?
55101Did you see a light in the room where the crime was committed?
55101Did you see this man?
55101Did you yacht much?
55101Did you?
55101Do n''t you know her name?
55101Do n''t you think you had better brush yourself up?
55101Do you alone own the latch- key?
55101Do you care for any one but yourself?
55101Do you intend to leave then?
55101Do you know everything about him?
55101Do you know to whom the villa belongs?
55101Do you know what this is, Fane?
55101Do you know who I am?
55101Do you know who they were?
55101Do you mean to hint, professor, that I know anything about this crime?
55101Do you mean to say that my brother- in- law knows something about this crime?
55101Do you mean to say that the man killed her?
55101Do you mean to say you live in Troy?
55101Do you really think so, mademoiselle? 55101 Do you remember Gerty Harrow with whom we were at school?"
55101Do you remember what the man was like in looks?
55101Do you think Bocaros knows the truth?
55101Do you think I am going to pose as a disgraced woman with your friends and mine? 55101 Do you think I am in danger?"
55101Do you think Mr. Calvert is guilty?
55101Do you think the man you talked to, killed this woman?
55101Do you wish me to report, sir?
55101Do?
55101Does Mrs. Fane know the woman?
55101Does all this mean that you withdraw your opposition to my marriage with Arnold?
55101Does it offend you?
55101Does it point to the assassin?
55101Does she ever allude to him?
55101Does she know you were married before?
55101Fane?
55101Flora Brand?
55101For instance, what do you think of this murder?
55101For what?
55101For your what?
55101Found out anything?
55101From the beginning?
55101From what?
55101Gerty, did you tell Luther I was out last night?
55101Go on,he said harshly;"what more?"
55101Good gracious me, baron--she rolled the sweet morsel on her tongue--"how should I know?
55101Has he another name?
55101Has it been raining?
55101Has it ruined the nerves of your mistress?
55101Has she secrets?
55101Has the meat been taken in as usual?
55101Has this woman left Mr. Calvert a fortune?
55101Have they found out anything?
55101Have you any capabilities for the bar?
55101Have you anything to conceal?
55101Have you been listening?
55101Have you discovered anything?
55101Have you ever seen him?
55101Have you examined the carpets?
55101Have you found him?
55101Have you heard about it, Arnold?
55101Have you his address?
55101Have you never had an opportunity of playing?
55101Have you not passed the house?
55101How can I marry you and bring you to this hovel?
55101How can you prove that?
55101How can you speak to me like that?
55101How could he get to the dustbin when the back of the house was locked up?
55101How dare you hint at such a thing?
55101How did he find it out?
55101How did the policeman enter the house?
55101How did the woman enter the house?
55101How did you get money to prosecute your inquiries?
55101How do you know it was a man? 55101 How do you know that?"
55101How do you know that?
55101How do you know there were two?
55101How do you know?
55101How do you mean false?
55101How do you prove that?
55101How does my sister''s maid come to be in this house?
55101How is that?
55101How many?
55101How much is the property?
55101How strange,said Fane, but his voice sounded nervously uncertain;"where did you find it?"
55101How was that?
55101However-- hullo Snakes, what''s that row?
55101I do,assented that gentleman;"are you going to accuse me of taking the key?"
55101I guess you did,said Tracey;"see here, professor, what''s the use of slinging lies?
55101I guess you know who killed her then?
55101I had one at Troy,said Fane coolly;"what of that?"
55101I have the evidence of the booking- clerk and a porter at the Southend station to prove how you were dressed and----"Who can say how I was dressed?
55101I knew you came, but Laura----"How did you know I came?
55101I presume, Miss Mason,he added,"you have been to this house since Mrs. Fane left it?"
55101I saw my sister''s maid, Emily Doon, as I entered,she said;"what is she doing here?"
55101I suppose they could n''t stand the villa, after the tragedy?
55101I suppose you do n''t?
55101I suppose you find Ajax Villa unpleasant after the murder?
55101I suppose you''ve come to think it haunted, sir?
55101I want to know what you are doing here?
55101I wonder what''s that for?
55101I wonder,said Derrick;"and who could have killed her?"
55101In what direction will you search?
55101In what way?
55101In what way?
55101Into a fortune?
55101Is Jasher a clever man?
55101Is Luther to advertise?
55101Is he a clever man?
55101Is it a light you''ll be wanting?
55101Is it a modern play?
55101Is it about the murder?
55101Is it true that you are moving, as I have been informed by Miss Gerty B., the lady I''m engaged to?
55101Is it?
55101Is that all you have to say? 55101 Is that the song?"
55101Is that what you mean?
55101Is there any one there?
55101Is there anything more to tell?
55101Is there anything to forget?
55101Is there not another possessed by a young man?
55101Is this professor a foreigner?
55101Is this why you bring Mr. Jasher to me?
55101It''s a party you''ll be having then, sir?
55101Jasher? 55101 Julia, why will you annoy me?"
55101Julia,said Fane, pausing at the door,"do you really care for me as much as that?"
55101Lord,said Webb testily,"how do I know?
55101Man,he cried fiercely,"what is that you say?
55101May I ask what you have to see me about?
55101May I look at it, Gander?
55101Mr. Tracey, sir?
55101Must I appear at that?
55101Must I put the matter plainly?
55101My dear, what does it matter?
55101My dear, what does that matter? 55101 My diamond necklace,"she cried,"where is it?"
55101No one here yet, Julia?
55101No--Fane laughed--"what possible interest can it have?"
55101No, but what does the message mean?
55101No,said Arnold after a pause, and with an effort;"how can I suspect any one?
55101No,said Mulligan;"he walked with me for a---- When did you miss your car, sir?"
55101No,said the other, staring;"what is it?"
55101Nor where he lives?
55101Not Arnold?
55101Not from Miss Mason? 55101 Nothing, nothing,"she responded;"but foreigners usually make use of such a weapon, do n''t they?
55101Now then,said Calvert, when he and Tracey had digested this information,"what about the forged letters?"
55101O Arnold, have you laid that bloodhound on your own track?
55101Of what?
55101Of whom else?
55101Oh,said Bocaros, meaningly, and looking up with eagerness,"he promised to hold his tongue, did he?
55101Oh; you find the villa disagreeable after this tragedy?
55101On business?
55101Or, to put it plainly,said Arnold quietly,"why you killed Flora?"
55101Really?
55101Say, does your momma drink?
55101Say, professor,he added aloud,"why do you call that low- down cuss Jasher?"
55101Say,Tracey detained Gerty,"do you sleep in your mother''s room?"
55101So I believe-- your husband also?
55101So you accuse me of admitting the man?
55101So you''ve lost by her death?
55101Something has upset her, I know,said Gerty quickly;"what is it?"
55101Such as what, Miss Mason?
55101Suppose I offer a reward?
55101Surely you remember the appointment you made with me?
55101Surely,said Fane, wrinkling his brows,"a woman ca n''t disappear like this in London?"
55101Tell me really why you wish him to return?
55101That she knows anything to the circus we''re running? 55101 The actor?"
55101The house at Hampstead, sir?
55101The money you have now?
55101The murderer?
55101The professor knows all this?
55101The two people?
55101The whole truth?
55101Then how did she come to enter my house?
55101Then who did?
55101Then why did n''t you call in the police?
55101Then why did you take the name of Brand?
55101Then why do n''t you look for real evidence?
55101Then why do you wish to forgive him?
55101Then you did not furnish Ajax Villa for Miss Mason?
55101Then you have sometimes visited her?
55101Then you remained in the house?
55101Then you think that, expecting to be murdered, she hid certain papers giving a clue to her probable assassin?
55101Then your things are here?
55101There is another cousin, is n''t there?
55101This is yours?
55101To Charing Cross?
55101To a man called Brand?
55101To see me? 55101 Tracey, why do you talk about prosecution?
55101Under your direction?
55101Was he with her all the time?
55101Was it a large fortune?
55101Was it enclosed in an envelope?
55101Was she-- er-- on her hind legs?
55101Was that not his name?
55101Was there no love at all in the marriage?
55101Well, Fane,he said sharply,"and what is to be done?"
55101Well, Jasher, what is it?
55101Well, and what are your schemes coming to? 55101 Well, gentlemen,"said the professor when seated,"what can I do?"
55101Well, professor, and how are you?
55101Well, sir, and what has this to do with me?
55101Well, well,said Jasher, looking a very benevolent stout gentleman, and sipping his wine with relish,"what happened when you fell ill?"
55101Well, what about it, Laura? 55101 Well, what happened?"
55101Well, what if they do? 55101 Well, what of that?"
55101Well, where''s the medicine man?
55101Well?
55101Well?
55101Were there two men, then?
55101What about her?
55101What about my rent?
55101What about the White Room then?

55101What do you know about me, that you talk so?
55101What do you make of it, inspector? 55101 What do you mean by containing the latch- key?"
55101What do you mean by that?
55101What do you mean, professor?
55101What do you mean, sir?
55101What do you mean?
55101What do you mean?
55101What do you mean?
55101What do you mean?
55101What do you mean?
55101What do you mean?
55101What do you mean?
55101What do you mean?
55101What do you mean?
55101What do you mean?
55101What do you mean?
55101What do you mean?
55101What do you say?
55101What do you take me for?
55101What do you think now?
55101What do you think, Jasher?
55101What do you want to know for?
55101What does Professor Bocaros know?
55101What does she mean?
55101What else?
55101What have I to do with it?
55101What if I am?
55101What if I did visit her?
55101What is Rufus like in looks?
55101What is it, Gerty? 55101 What is that?"
55101What is that?
55101What is that?
55101What is the matter, Julia?
55101What is the matter?
55101What is the question, my friend?
55101What is the use of fencing in this way?
55101What is your theory on existing facts?
55101What is?
55101What line did he travel in?
55101What makes you say that?
55101What of that?
55101What was Laura doing there?
55101What was she to him?
55101What was that?
55101What will you do if I confess?
55101What will you do?
55101What would you do if you knew it?
55101What''s that?
55101What''s that?
55101What''s that?
55101What''s that?
55101What''s the use of calling names?
55101What''s the use of sorrow?
55101What''s this, Calvert?
55101What''s your theory, sir?
55101What, Calvert, do you call your engagement to Laura business?
55101What?
55101When did Mr. Fane become a partner?
55101When did you get it?
55101When did you last see her?
55101When do Mrs. Fane and family return?
55101When?
55101Where are ye going?
55101Where can I have seen him?
55101Where did she get the ten thousand a year?
55101Where did you get this key?
55101Where did you go?
55101Where did you see him?
55101Where is she, and who is she?
55101Where the deuce are they, anyhow?
55101Where was it found?
55101Where''s her desk?
55101Where?
55101Where?
55101Where?
55101Who could? 55101 Who is he?"
55101Who is it? 55101 Who is she?"
55101Who is the professor?
55101Who is there?
55101Who told you I was a baron?
55101Who was singing while you talked to Mulligan?
55101Who was with you?
55101Whose footsteps?
55101Whose hands, seeing that I am the heir?
55101Why did he go there?
55101Why did n''t she leave a servant in charge?
55101Why did n''t she leave it to her husband?
55101Why did n''t you say so at the inquest?
55101Why did n''t you send for me?
55101Why did you call yourself Wentworth?
55101Why did you say you only paid three visits?
55101Why do n''t you go for a yachting tour?
55101Why do n''t you marry him, then?
55101Why do n''t you say straight out what you know?
55101Why do n''t you trust me, sir?
55101Why do n''t you, then?
55101Why do you bring this man to me?
55101Why here? 55101 Why not?
55101Why not? 55101 Why not?
55101Why not?
55101Why should an honest man yank off my car? 55101 Why should n''t he be an actor?"
55101Why should there be a murder?
55101Why? 55101 Why?"
55101Will sorrow keep bread and butter in my mouth? 55101 Will there be any reward for my setting the police on the track?"
55101Will we get in the police?
55101Will you be so kind as to tell me what you mean by these questions?
55101Will you come in?
55101Will you ever be rich?
55101Will you give me money, so that I may not starve?
55101Will you tell me what brought you here?
55101With Miss Julia Mason?
55101With what? 55101 Wonder what she meant making free with a man''s house in his absence?"
55101Would I suit you?
55101Would you like it to take place in the nursery?
55101Yes it does,admitted Mrs. Baldwin, casting apprehensive glances at the door and window, and still grasping the pistol;"where is he?"
55101Yes?
55101Yes?
55101Yes?
55101You acknowledge that she was your wife?
55101You are quite sure?
55101You are sure that the man who came out of the house was speaking with you while the singing was going on?
55101You believe I am guiltless?
55101You believe him to be innocent?
55101You did n''t know she had a key?
55101You did n''t know that at the time?
55101You did not come?
55101You do n''t know the man''s name?
55101You dropped it in the road when you spoke to the policeman?
55101You fool,she snarled,"do you think I would deny unless I could prove all I say?
55101You got the name from him?
55101You have got one,said the detective;"ai n''t you engaged at the Frivolity Theatre?"
55101You have n''t been troubled by Rufus, have you?
55101You have seen him act in this new piece?
55101You heard Mulligan describe the man who came out of this house,he said;"can you tell me who he is?"
55101You knew that your cousin had such a room?
55101You knew that, I suppose?
55101You know Miss Mason, and she is the sister- in- law of Fane----"What of that? 55101 You live in this house?"
55101You mean about the murder?
55101You mean as regards the murder of this woman Brand?
55101You mistrust him?
55101You really mean that?
55101You remained behind?
55101You saw him when you were at the Baldwins''?
55101You smoke, officer?
55101You suspected nothing wrong?
55101You think Brand killed his wife?
55101You think that Arnold killed the woman?
55101You think there can be no doubt about the woman?
55101You were not?
55101You''ll be going home then, sir?
55101Your sister is also at Westcliff- on- Sea?
55101Your sister''s maid?
55101''s diary gave away the whole thing, and now we have come to ask what you were doing in the house on the night of the murder?"
55101About what?"
55101Am I free?
55101An''is it me, sir, you''d be calling Irish?"
55101And Gerty?"
55101And again, is it not disgraceful that nothing can be found likely to prove who this poor creature is?
55101And even if this woman were not a stranger is it likely that she could enter the house?"
55101And has it to do with the murder?"
55101And how did I escape?"
55101And now you know what we intend to do, what about yourself?"
55101And now, Arnold Calvert, Esquire?"
55101And she is here-- oh, what does it mean?"
55101And were I rich, do you know what I should do?"
55101And why does not his name appear?"
55101And you?"
55101Anything wrong?"
55101Are you answered?"
55101Are you going to talk to that brat all day, officer?"
55101Are you not aware I am a married woman-- that I have a child?
55101Arnold, how could I come to you and declare that the man I loved was guilty?
55101Arnold, how was it you never knew me as Flora''s husband?"
55101At the Liverpool Street Station I missed him and----""And you came on here?"
55101At what hour did you part with Number One?"
55101Baldwin?"
55101Besides, if it was not the husband who removed the things, how did he enter the cottage?
55101Bocaros can not harm me in any way----""Are you so sure?"
55101Brand come to be our client?
55101Brand did make a will in your favour,"he said,"about a week before she died, but----""What do you mean?"
55101Brand doing at the villa?"
55101Brand enter the house, and how did she know that the family were at the seaside?"
55101Brand every day?"
55101Brand for that?
55101Brand give you?"
55101Brand is a pretty woman?"
55101Brand know your address there?"
55101Brand was not her husband?"
55101Brand''s cousin?"
55101Brand, go out much?"
55101Brand,"said the other, with a shrug;"but who else comes?
55101Brand?"
55101Brand?"
55101Brand?"
55101Brand?"
55101Brand?"
55101Brand?"
55101Brand?"
55101Brand?"
55101But ai n''t you going to look at the rest of the house?"
55101But did you go later?"
55101But had you a right to tell her about Fane?"
55101But has Mr. Fane a beard?"
55101But what brings you to this quarter?"
55101But what did this professor say?"
55101But what of the dagger I brought you?"
55101But what was she doing in a mansion, the owner of which was at the seaside?
55101But where am I to find a wife?"
55101But who is the culprit?
55101But"--he closed the book--"if you would like me to destroy these pages----""Why the devil should I, man?"
55101By the way"--he drew near confidentially--"do you know that the motor- car in which the assassin is supposed to have escaped is in Madame Tussaud''s?"
55101By the way, can you tell us of any circumstances in your cousin''s life which may hint at the reason for the committal of this crime?"
55101By the way, do you know a young man with a pointed beard and slim figure?
55101By the way, was not that Mrs. Fane''s maid I saw leaving your house?"
55101By the way, when you were in the house did you hear any one about?"
55101Ca n''t people sit up till midnight without having the house full of dancers?"
55101Ca n''t you understand English?
55101Calvert?"
55101Calvert?"
55101Calvert?"
55101Calvert?"
55101Can he touch your money?"
55101Can she drive a motor- car?"
55101Can you see anything?
55101Can you solve it, professor?"
55101Derrick, who had preserved silence, chimed in"Who are you, sir?"
55101Did Mrs. Baldwin really know it was her husband she killed?
55101Did any young man stay in this house?"
55101Did he give it to you; or,"she asked vindictively,"was it taken from his dead body?"
55101Did n''t your walk last night do you good?"
55101Did this woman?"
55101Did you ever see this Brand?"
55101Did you give Mr. Calvert the latch- key?"
55101Did you hear a scream?"
55101Did you know Fane in any way?"
55101Did you read the case as reported in the papers?"
55101Did you write the letter to lure him there also?"
55101Do n''t you catch on?
55101Do n''t you think you''d better run me in?
55101Do you accuse me of aiding Arnold to kill the woman?"
55101Do you know Calvert?"
55101Do you know a young man with a pointed beard?"
55101Do you know of anything that taken at one meal would keep me going for a week?"
55101Do you know what I want?"
55101Do you not understand?"
55101Do you suspect any one?"
55101Do you suspect the husband?"
55101Do you think I should let Walter go away yachting if I did not like a free hand?
55101Do you think such a man will tamely submit to the loss of a fortune?
55101Fane?"
55101Fane?"
55101Fane?"
55101Fane?"
55101Flora Brand?"
55101Flora, suspecting nothing wrong----""Why should she?"
55101Had the first man let her in with his latch- key, and if so, how did he come to be in possession of the latch- key?
55101Had you not better lie down?"
55101Has he anything to do with the will?"
55101Has he been troubling you?"
55101Has he told you all his life?"
55101Has it ever been out of your possession?"
55101Have we not newspapers and agents and handbills and all the paraphernalia of civilisation for the detection of the unknown?
55101Have you accepted Mr. Calvert''s hand?"
55101Have you another light, constable?"
55101Have you many visitors, professor?"
55101Have you seen my car?
55101Have you?"
55101He paused, then added anxiously:"I suppose you know most of the people who live in these villas?"
55101How came she to have a similar room?"
55101How can you implicate any of these people?"
55101How did he come to tell you?"
55101How did she get in?"
55101How did you induce her to make a will in your favour?"
55101How did you know he came up from Southend?
55101How did you learn the news?"
55101How do I know but what your police may accuse me of killing Flora?"
55101How do you come to know her front name?"
55101How is your mother, Gerty dear?"
55101How long did it last?"
55101How should I know who killed her?"
55101How was she killed?"
55101However, it''s decided you wo n''t come?"
55101I believe you saw my locksmith?"
55101I dare say-- what can I have dropped?"
55101I have been dismissed without a character, and where am I to go?"
55101I hope you do n''t mind Mr. Tracey being present?
55101I know she recognised him afterwards; but when she fired did she know?"
55101I occupy a small house on her estate in Cloverhead----""Where is that, sir?"
55101I suppose he is not well off?"
55101I suppose you can throw no light on this strange death?"
55101I used one to enter the house myself----""Oh, you acknowledge you were in the house?"
55101I was a young girl----""Will you look at it?"
55101I wonder why Bocaros told Flora?"
55101I wonder why she should be killed in your house?"
55101If she had, why did n''t he show?
55101If you did not kill the woman, who did?"
55101Ill at home?"
55101Inspector?"
55101Inspector?"
55101Is he a visitor at this house?"
55101Is he below?"
55101Is he dead?
55101Is n''t it true?"
55101Is the house you were visiting far from here?"
55101Is there a hansom about?"
55101Is there anything I can do for you?"
55101It must have been out of his possession so that some one could take an impression and have a duplicate made, or----""Well, or what?"
55101Laura, what is to be done?"
55101Laura, you are not going?"
55101May I ask what it is?"
55101Mr. Fane said he was ill with a cold----""Was he really ill?"
55101Mrs. Fane''s idea?"
55101Not a bad shanty?
55101Nothing is wrong with Arnold?"
55101Now, I did, and I found a torn photo----""Of Brand?"
55101Now, what do you say?"
55101O Gerty, will they bring the police into the matter?"
55101Oh, great heavens, am I free?"
55101Oh, why wo n''t you believe me?"
55101On the face of it, does not that look as though you alone killed her, else, why the use of your key to let her enter the house?
55101Say, mister"--the boy stared--"nothing ai n''t gone wrong with her?"
55101Say, mister"--this was to Derrick--"if I come across to deliver the meat, will you stop the old cove from pitching into me?"
55101She had quarrelled with her husband, so I thought the letter he received was about some business that was wrong----""What business?"
55101Such a change in the young man''s prospects, ai n''t it?"
55101That maid?"
55101Then Arthur Brand died and left the money to this woman?"
55101Then piteously,"My friend, what am I to do?"
55101Then she_ was_ up in town on that night?"
55101There''s no law against my joining in this old country, is there?"
55101They may think----""That you killed her?
55101This room was your own idea, Walter?"
55101Tracey?"
55101Tracey?"
55101Tracey?"
55101Webb?"
55101Well"--Tracey lighted his sixth cigarette--"what''s doing?"
55101Well, Flora----""Who is Flora?"
55101Well, doctor?"
55101Well, how long did you hide?"
55101Well, professor, did you see any one in the house?"
55101Well, sir, and what do you want me to do?"
55101Well, what now?"
55101Well,"he raised his voice,"what''s the best news with you?"
55101What about the crime?"
55101What about the money?"
55101What about the will, father?"
55101What did you find?"
55101What do I pay you wages for?"
55101What do you know?"
55101What do you know?"
55101What do you mean by that expression?"
55101What do you mean?"
55101What do you say, Tracey?"
55101What do you think, sir?"
55101What do you think?"
55101What figure would you ask now, inspector?"
55101What happened after you saw me?"
55101What happened?"
55101What has become of the locket Mrs. Baldwin gave you?"
55101What if he does?"
55101What is his name?"
55101What is this woman''s name?"
55101What is your opinion, Jasher?"
55101What is your opinion?"
55101What of that?"
55101What of the other silver frame?"
55101What of the professor?"
55101What was it you did?"
55101What was she singing, and why in a strange house?"
55101What will she do?"
55101What will you do?"
55101What''s he come here for?
55101What''s that, anyhow?"
55101What?
55101When do you go?"
55101When he does----""What will happen?"
55101When is the house to be sold?"
55101Where''s Miss Gerty?"
55101Where''s the pistol?"
55101Who else?"
55101Who is she?"
55101Why did n''t you go up and see who was singing?"
55101Why did you come up on that night to Ajax Villa?"
55101Why did you not?"
55101Why do n''t you behave?"
55101Why do n''t you offer a reward to clear up the mystery, Calvert?"
55101Why do n''t you run him in for insulting language?"
55101Why do you ask me?"
55101Why do you ask that?"
55101Why do you ask?"
55101Why do you ask?"
55101Why has n''t he been to see you lately?"
55101Why not advertise?"
55101Why not go to the police?"
55101Why not say the word?"
55101Why should Arnold come here and kill his cousin-- if she is his cousin?"
55101Why should I have connected Flora with the dead woman?
55101Why should I?"
55101Why should Mrs. Baldwin desire to get me and Laura into trouble?"
55101Why should he come to a house which is shut up?"
55101Why should he see me?
55101Why should he take notice of Emily, who is merely a servant?
55101Will you give me his address?"
55101Wonder if I can get an advertisement out of it?
55101Would any man be such a fool as to act this way in his own house?
55101Yes?"
55101Yet you will not trust me?"
55101You are innocent----""How can you be sure of that?"
55101You are not going to accuse her of taking an impression, are you?"
55101You are usually on this beat?"
55101You catch on, Gerty B.?"
55101You do n''t know this woman?"
55101You do n''t look well, Miss Mason?"
55101You do n''t mind, do you?"
55101You know her?"
55101You met him at the inquest, I believe?"
55101You say that Mr. Calvert was in this room on the night of the murder?"
55101You told Miss Mason, that you saw him leaning over the gate?
55101and why should he make such a point of destroying his own photographs had he no aim?"
55101he asked;"are you willing to do something for money?"
55101it was Arnold who spoke;"you swear she was dead?"
55101queried Tracey,"you know my name?"
55101said Arnold decisively--"a fat, lazy woman like that?
55101said Arnold, after another pause;"so it was you Fane heard in the house after ten o''clock?"
55101said Fane, pondering,"do you think he had anything to do with the crime?"
55101said Walter with interest;"some relative?"
55101said the detective, starting;"and how do you come to know my name, ma''am?"
55101she asked;"and who is she?"
55101she asked;"is he outside?
55101she said;"do you suspect me?"
55101sneered Mrs. Fane;"and when do you marry?"
55101sneered the professor?
55101what information can I give you?"
55101you admit that he killed her then?"
9635A cupboard?
9635Afraid?
9635An Englishman,said the janitor thoughtfully,"or perchance an American?
9635And I presume that your son will find lots of work awaiting him on his return home? 9635 And Madame Poulain?
9635And at Mr. Dampier''s studio?
9635And does she approve?
9635And if monsieur will excuse the question, is she a nice lady? 9635 And is this all I can tell my poor son?"
9635And will you please ask your aunt to come here for a moment?
9635And-- and-- where are the living rooms?
9635André? 9635 Are they both out?"
9635At what time shall I expect your clerk?
9635Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not all sleep....O death, where is thy sting?
9635But Jack? 9635 But Mr. Burton?
9635But oh, Mr. Burton, where can Jack be? 9635 But the dossier?"
9635But what will happen then?
9635But where is Mrs. Dampier now?
9635But with what object could the Poulains tell such a stupid and cruel untruth, one, too, which is sure to be found out very soon? 9635 But you do not think so?"
9635But, Mr. Burton, had n''t I better pay? 9635 But, father?
9635Can you suggest anything that we could do to help you?
9635D''you really want to know what he said?
9635D''you think so? 9635 Daisy?
9635Did she tell you,asked the Senator hesitatingly,"what sort of man this Mr. Dampier is?"
9635Did you go into his studio, Gerald?
9635Do n''t you like English people?
9635Do we know the truth now? 9635 Do you make many of these Perquisitions?"
9635Do you understand what she says?
9635Father,he said impulsively,"I suppose that now, at last, you do believe Mrs. Dampier''s story?"
9635Father?
9635Feeling?
9635From something my daughter said,observed Senator Burton,"I think you have been trying to persuade the poor little lady to go back to England?"
9635From something you said just now I gather that you have heard of this Mr. John Dampier?
9635Gerald? 9635 Gerald?"
9635Give you an introduction to our Prefect of Police? 9635 Have you ever stayed in the Hôtel Saint Ange?"
9635Have you found out anything?
9635How can I possibly tell, Daisy? 9635 How do you mean, father?"
9635How much did she give you?
9635I hope you are not really anxious about him?
9635I mean the description you''ve just read out-- that of the Englishman?
9635I suppose it did n''t occur to you, Gerald, to go to this Mr. Dampier''s studio?
9635I suppose it is quite easy to leave by the way we came in-- through the engine- room?
9635I suppose my things have been moved into your room, father?
9635I suppose that the first thing to do is to take this Mr. Stephens''advice?
9635I suppose you have a good many Americans this year?
9635I suppose, Mrs. Dampier, that by then your husband had already gone to his room?
9635I think by your manner that you have found out something, Mr. Burton-- something you do n''t wish to say to me before the two others?
9635I think we''d better drive?
9635I thought, Monsieur le Préfet, that I was to see Mr. Dampier''s dossier?
9635I want you to tell me,went on the young American earnestly,"exactly what sort of a man this John Dampier is-- or was?"
9635I wish to know,she said,"whether my husband left any message for me?"
9635I wonder if you heard anything of the scrape Dr. Cranebrook got into last year?
9635I''ll come with you, for we were only going out for a little stroll, were n''t we, father?
9635If that is so then why all this-- this trouble, Monsieur le Sénateur?
9635Indeed? 9635 Intolerable?"
9635Is Madame Poulain out?
9635Is n''t it likely,suggested the Senator,"that the man''s disappearance has been reported to you?
9635Is n''t it pleasant to think,he whispered,"that Paris is the more beautiful because you now are in it and of it, Nancy?"
9635Is not this excellent?
9635Is that Mrs. Dampier''s suggestion?
9635Is there no way of ascertaining whether Madame Poulain''s story is true-- whether, that is, the room was ever condemned by the sanitary authorities?
9635Is what we are going to see very horrible?
9635It is Mrs. Dampier--"Ah, yes-- I understand-- the three weeks''bride? 9635 It is very ingenious, is it not?
9635Left Paris?
9635Madame Poulain?
9635Mademoiselle?
9635Make fun? 9635 May I ask if you know much of the habits and way of life of this vanished bridegroom?"
9635May I have another lump of sugar, Miss Burton? 9635 May I speak to you a moment?"
9635Mon mari?
9635Monsieur and madame may like to visit the studio? 9635 Mr. Burton, will you kindly pay for me?"
9635Mr. Burton,she exclaimed, her voice full of concern,"I''m afraid this has made you feel ill?
9635Mr. Stephens''office?
9635Mr. Stephens? 9635 Mrs. Dampier once spoke to me as if she thought you did not like her husband?"
9635Mrs. Dampier? 9635 Mrs. Dampier?
9635Nancy? 9635 Nancy?"
9635Nancy?
9635Nancy?
9635Not going home?
9635Now is it likely that Madame Poulain would make such a suggestion if she were not telling the truth? 9635 Oh, must you be far away from me?"
9635One moment, Monsieur le Sénateur?
9635One word, monsieur? 9635 Picot?"
9635Searched for what?
9635Searched?
9635Searched?
9635Searched?
9635Surely one of you will come with me? 9635 Surely you see yourself, my boy, that if the man is dead, there''s nothing more for you to do here, in Paris?"
9635Tell me, Gerald? 9635 Tell us what it is you want to ask them?"
9635Thank you for coming, Monsieur Gerald; but where is Monsieur le Sénateur?
9635That being so, do n''t you think the Hôtel Saint Ange ought to be searched?
9635Then I suppose you also saw Mr. Dampier, Daisy?
9635Then what do you think of the Poulains?
9635There is something very wrong with Mrs. Dampier-- can you hear me clearly?
9635We did not find the gentleman at his studio,he said shortly,"and I presume, Madame Poulain, that he has not yet been here?"
9635Well, Mrs. Dampier, what is it that you would like to do now?
9635Well, father?
9635Well, monsieur, if you really do not care to see our relics--?
9635Well, my boy?
9635Well, wo n''t he let you in?
9635Well?
9635Well?
9635Well?
9635Well?
9635Well?
9635Well?
9635What did you find there? 9635 What do you mean, Gerald?
9635What do you think, Monsieur Baroff?
9635What have we here?
9635What is it that you ca n''t make them understand?
9635What is it that you wish, dear heart?
9635What is it?
9635What is it?
9635What''s that?
9635What''s that?
9635What''s this?
9635When will this persecution come to an end? 9635 Where was I?
9635Who is it? 9635 Why do n''t you send for the police?"
9635Why, Gerald, where does this lead? 9635 Why, Gerald?"
9635Why, what d''you mean, father?
9635Will you please ask her to call me a cab?
9635Wo n''t monsieur and madame stay and just see everything else there is to be seen?
9635Wo n''t there? 9635 Wo n''t you find it very difficult?
9635Wo n''t you stay here and let me go alone to that place? 9635 Would monsieur like to see some of my pensioners?
9635Yes, father?
9635Yes, father?
9635Yes, father?
9635Yes, monsieur?
9635Yes, yes What is wrong with her?
9635Yes?
9635You are quite convinced, madame, that Number 4 is not he whom you seek?
9635You made enquiries concerning this gentleman yesterday?
9635You said Number 4, monsieur?
9635You''ll bring Mrs. Dampier up again, father?
9635You, monsieur, also have no doubt?
9635Your dossier?
9635Yuss?
96351913 CHAPTER I"Cocher?
9635A good many of my pensioners have been dangerous customers in their time-- but now?
9635And Gerald Burton?
9635And Mr. Stephens had answered very quietly,"What if John Dampier be alive?"
9635And as Gerald, taken oddly aback by the unseen man''s very natural mistake, did not answer for a moment or two:"Nothing wrong with Nancy, I hope?"
9635And as his father looked at him a little doubtfully he went on:--"Will you explain to Madame Poulain what we''ve settled?
9635And at last with intense relief, Gerald Burton heard a low clear, incisive voice uttering the words:"Is that Mrs. Dampier herself speaking?"
9635And father?
9635And for such a funny reason--""What reason?"
9635And now?
9635And then he said,"Well?"
9635And then she asks an imprudent question:--"And what did he say then?"
9635And then she checked herself, and tried to convey the same question in her difficult French--"Mon mari?"
9635And then, at last, with a shrill laugh that sounded strange and eerie, the clerk repeated,"Dampier-- Mr. John Dampier?
9635And then, stung past endurance, he turns on her savagely:--"Does that mean that I have bought the right to kiss you?"
9635And, Daisy?
9635And, father?"
9635As for you, my boy, I hope you''ve secured a good room outside, eh?"
9635As there was a suite of living rooms attached to the studio, why had the Dampiers gone to an hotel?
9635Burton?"
9635Burton?"
9635But Gerald?
9635But I suppose in the end such a marriage would be annulled?"
9635But father?"
9635But had he been an artist, Monsieur le Sénateur, would the Count have been traced?
9635But now?
9635But surely after she had explained the extraordinary occurrence of the morning he would understand?
9635But there came no answering cry, and again, this time rather impatiently, she called out,"Madame Poulain?"
9635But what is this he is now saying, in a voice which is so unsteady, so oddly unlike his own?
9635But what was this the lady who called herself Mrs. Dampier saying?
9635But you and I, my darling-- well, we must try to be judicial-- we must try to keep our heads, eh?"
9635But, monsieur?
9635But-- but, Monsieur le Sénateur?
9635C''est vous, mademoiselle?"
9635Ca n''t we always be reasonable-- like this?"
9635Can not I persuade you to come back to England with me?
9635Come, Monsieur le Sénateur, confess that some such explanation of Mr. Dampier''s disappearance has already occurred to you?"
9635Daisy, my dear--?"
9635Dampier?"
9635Dampier?"
9635Dampier?"
9635Dampier?"
9635Did Daisy know anything of the ugly side of human nature?
9635Did he say the ugly words aloud?
9635Did my husband leave any message?"
9635Did n''t the old housekeeper seem surprised at her master''s prolonged absence?"
9635Did she know, for instance, that there are men and women, especially women, who spend their lives preying on the honest, the chivalrous, and the kind?
9635Did you notice that beautiful young woman?
9635Do n''t keep me in suspense--"and then, as he is still dumb, she adds with a cry,"Have you come to tell me that at last you have found Jack?"
9635Do you mean me to go out and leave poor little Nancy alone in her dreadful suspense and grief-- just that I may enjoy myself?"
9635Do you not think that I ought to go there, to- day?
9635Does she think we made away with her friend?
9635Does that mean-- yes, of course it must mean, that Gerald is going away, back to America?
9635Especially if they persist in saying I came alone?"
9635From what you tell me, you have already done what I may call the usual things?"
9635Gerald Burton looked up quickly:--"You mean by that there may be someone whom we do not know of who may have had a motive for spiriting him away?"
9635Gerald, who was generally speaking rather nonchalant, and very, very critical of women?
9635Gerald?
9635Had n''t you better go right now and get it?"
9635Had she ever really remembered what had happened on that first evening of her arrival in Paris?
9635Have you ever been here before?"
9635He has brought himself to believe-- but perhaps he has already told you what he thinks--?"
9635He said so that last evening-- he said,"she ended her sentence with a sob,"that his happiness made him afraid--""Did he?"
9635He tried quiet expostulation:"Surely, Gerald, you are not serious in making such a decision?
9635He turned to the attendant:--"How much do I owe you?"
9635How should we have such a thing?
9635I am sure I may count on your discretion, and, may I add, your sympathy?"
9635I fear I am a little early?"
9635I gather that the vanished man''s wife is a charming person?"
9635I have an impression that we have had that name before us during the last week or so-- Have you any recollection of it?"
9635I suppose you''ve never read George Moore''s description of this very drive we''re taking, little girl?"
9635I wonder if you''d like to hear the one which struck me most?"
9635If it was n''t for those stupid Poulains''mistake about last night you would n''t feel really worried, now would you?"
9635In a sense, the parent of France-- for was not America the first great nation to become a Republic?"
9635Instead she, in her turn, asked a question:--"Do the police think that Jack may have left me of his own free will?"
9635Is it not more likely-- I say it with all respect, Monsieur le Sénateur-- that for some reason unknown to us she is acting a part?"
9635Is it not possible that this young lady and her husband had a quarrel?
9635Is my search at an end?"
9635Is she even aware of all that he has sacrificed for her?
9635Jack had made a mistake-- how could he have brought her to such a place?
9635John Dampier?
9635John Dampier?
9635Larkspur?"
9635Looking at him fixedly, she said quietly and in what he felt to be an unnaturally still voice,"Mr. Burton?
9635May I tell Daisy that now you agree with me about Mrs. Dampier-- that you no longer believe the Poulains''story?"
9635Nancy went on:--"Could I go this morning?
9635Nancy?
9635Nancy?
9635Now what could it have been?
9635O grave, where is thy victory?"
9635On the contrary:--"Do you think,"she asked, and though her lips quivered she spoke very quietly,"that Jack is dead, Mr. Stephens?
9635Perquisition?
9635Picot?
9635Senator Burton?
9635Senator, might go into the matter more thoroughly?"
9635Senator, that four of our countrymen have completely vanished within the last two days?"
9635Senator?
9635Shall we dismiss the cab?"
9635She broke in, rather eagerly,"What sort of a man do you suppose Mr. Dampier to be, Gerald?"
9635She put the tray down on the bed, and she was already making her way quickly, silently to the door, when Nancy called out urgently,"Madame?
9635She waited a moment, and then added,"Wo n''t monsieur come in and wait?
9635She wanted to be actually present at it, did n''t she, Gerald?"
9635Stephens?"
9635Stephens?"
9635Stephens?"
9635Still, I thought I must wake you now, for father wants to know if you would mind him going to our Embassy about your husband?
9635Suppose Jack is not there?"
9635Surely there''ll be nothing to see on the Boulevards now?"
9635Surely you do n''t feel that?"
9635Surely you do n''t want me to leave Nancy this morning of all mornings?
9635Surely you expect us?
9635Surely you have some near relation who would come to you?"
9635The Poulains?
9635The Senator turned to Nancy:"Had n''t we better go in and wait?"
9635The next night?
9635Then after a moment,"Could n''t we start soon-- I mean now?"
9635Then it was true after all?
9635Then she was"madame"again?
9635Then the Commissary of Police had been to some trouble for him after all?
9635Then, with some surprise,"Would monsieur care to see the appartement?
9635Then,"Does monsieur know the new Madame Dampier?"
9635Then--"Is your brother gone out?"
9635These were English people?
9635They thought-- what did they not think, poor, foolish people?
9635Think how awful it would be if-- if after I had done such a thing I found that poor Jack was not dead?
9635Was he now to make acquaintance with the stranger who had yet in so curious and sinister a way become his familiar?
9635Were the police at last on the trail of the missing man?
9635What can I do for you?"
9635What can I do for you?".
9635What can he be doing?"
9635What can we do for you?"
9635What can we do for you?"
9635What did it all mean?
9635What did these people mean by treating her like this?
9635What do they say?
9635What do you think about them?"
9635What does mademoiselle accuse us of?
9635What is it that should keep you here after we have gone?"
9635What is it this unfortunate young lady, Mrs. Dampier, ought to do?
9635What is it you want to say to me?
9635What just exactly did the lawyer mean by these solemnly delivered words?
9635What the devil did the man mean?
9635Who in Paris could be writing to him-- who, for the matter of that, knew where he was staying, apart from his own family and his London office?
9635Who is it wants us from Paris?"
9635Why am I kept waiting in this way?"
9635Why did he stay away so long?
9635Will you please ask one of them to speak to me?"
9635Will you, or shall I, go to the Prefecture of Police?"
9635Would he have returned?
9635Would you rather go straight to the hotel?"
9635Yes?
9635You ca n''t make up your mind-- is not that so?"
9635You know what women are?"
9635You see, our position with regard to the Poulains is a delicate one--""Delicate?"
9635You would n''t like me to do anything I thought wrong, Gerald?"
9635again; what wo n''t a pretty face do with a man?
9635he said eagerly,"well, Monsieur Poulain, any news?"
9635he said,"is n''t that strange?
9635said the Senator,"well, Daisy, I suppose you have told your brother about this odd affair?"
9635she said eagerly, and then a little shyly she uttered his name,"Well, Mr. Burton?
55102A blue pocket- book with a crest?
55102Aaron,she asked an old man who came trudging down from the common,"did you see my father coming along in a fly?"
55102About its being delivered to get the diamonds?
55102About that horrid murder?
55102About the diamonds?
55102About what?
55102Alive?
55102Allen Hill?
55102Allen, are you aware why I am so fond of Eva?
55102Allen?
55102Am I dying?
55102Am I right after all?
55102And Butsey saw Mrs. Merry in the morning of Thursday?
55102And do you intend to do so in this instance?
55102And has it been brought?
55102And have you got this money?
55102And how do I know you did n''t?
55102And how do Mrs. Merry and Wasp get along?
55102And the same boy as told me a lie about Cain,cried Mrs. Merry;"what do you make of it all, gentlemen?"
55102And they were all three boon companions,said Allen to himself;"I wonder what I''ll find out about the three?
55102And was murdered for the sake of them?
55102And what am I?
55102And what do you mean by that?
55102And what happened?
55102And what is your business, I''d like to know?
55102And what were you doing there, may I ask, sir?
55102And what will that do? 55102 And what''s she been calling on my son there, I''d like to know?"
55102And who are you to come like this?
55102And who shot him?
55102And why do you say that?
55102And why not?
55102And why should it be stolen?
55102And you expect me to marry him?
55102And you met my cousin there?
55102And you, Miss Strode?
55102Are you not afraid?
55102Are you sure it''s only the foot?
55102Are you sure?
55102At Westhaven? 55102 At what time does he arrive?"
55102Because-- but before I tell you, may I ask his reason for staying away?
55102Boy?
55102Business?
55102But Mrs. Merry is good to you?
55102But ca n''t Mr. Mark Parkins buy it?
55102But did he have the hand?
55102But how do you know that Mr. Strode would swindle?
55102But if Hill is n''t alone?
55102But my father?
55102But my father?
55102But the hand must have been empty when my father buried it on the common, so how could Giles know his secret?
55102But the wooden hand?
55102But what about my father''s death?
55102But what good will that do?
55102But what is odd about your father having two names? 55102 But what makes you think that I want to be any one''s companion?"
55102But why am I shut out from my father''s confidence?
55102But why did your father speculate so much?
55102But why do you want me to leave England, Allen?
55102But why should Cain send parcels to my father?
55102But why should some one steal?
55102But will he tell it?
55102But would the law hang a boy like that even if guilty?
55102But your father will be home at eight, Eva?
55102But, Bell, if you leave the show, how will you live?
55102Butsey?
55102Butsey?
55102By Jove, you might have been, though,said he, fixing his small grey eyes on her;"supposing you became Lady Saltars?"
55102Ca n''t I deliver it?
55102Cain,said Eva, turning, still flushed, to the lad,"you came along the Westhaven road?"
55102Can a man in hiding go to law?
55102Can you explain?
55102Can you really stop the marriage?
55102Could Mr. Hill have heard from my father?
55102Did I?
55102Did I?
55102Did Merry agree?
55102Did Strode tell you he possessed diamonds?
55102Did he carry the money with him?
55102Did he ever tell you of his daughter?
55102Did he faint?
55102Did he mention my name?
55102Did he say he had diamonds?
55102Did my father tell you of the cardboard box he received?
55102Did n''t I mention it to you?
55102Did n''t Miss Strode tell you her dream, Wasp?
55102Did n''t any one see him on the road to Wargrove?
55102Did n''t he send another wire to Miss Strode notifying his change of plan?
55102Did n''t he tell you he was going down on Thursday?
55102Did n''t her husband?
55102Did n''t you find the money in his portmanteau or box, or----?
55102Did you expect me?
55102Did you find in his pockets a large blue pocket- book with his crest on it, stamped in gold?
55102Did you give him the money in notes?
55102Did you go there?
55102Did you know a passenger called Strode?
55102Did you know who the person was?
55102Did you see my father? 55102 Did you see who fired the shot?"
55102Did you take the children down on a Wednesday?
55102Do I not?
55102Do n''t you think they might eat now in honour of the gentleman''s visit?
55102Do you intend to try and unravel the mystery of the death?
55102Do you know a boy called Butsey?
55102Do you know him?
55102Do you know my history, Allen?
55102Do you know the boy?
55102Do you know what your father''s plans are?
55102Do you know where he is?
55102Do you know who I am?
55102Do you know who I am?
55102Do you know who shot Strode?
55102Do you know whose writing this is?
55102Do you know why he is acting in this way?
55102Do you know, mother, why I say I must undertake this investigation?
55102Do you mean the man who was murdered?
55102Do you mean to say he killed Strode?
55102Do you think I am going to let Saltars marry this circus woman? 55102 Do you think anything will come of it?"
55102Do you think he knows?
55102Do you think he stole it?
55102Do you think that last is necessary?
55102Do you think the money is locked up in diamonds?
55102Do you want us to remain?
55102Does he still belong to the Army?
55102Does your son know him?
55102Eva, do you know if your father brought any jewels from Africa-- diamonds, I mean?
55102Even why he took my revolver to the Red Deeps?
55102Face downward in the mud?
55102Father,he cried,"whatever is the meaning of all this?"
55102For instance, why not call on Mr. Strode''s lawyer and tell him Red Jerry came home from Africa about the same time that Strode did?
55102From Wargrove?
55102From the beginning,said Allen;"how did the gang come to know that Strode had the diamonds?"
55102Giles Merry? 55102 Giles,"cried Eva, rising indignantly,"how dare you----?"
55102Give up what?
55102Go away-- leave me alone-- what do you want?
55102God help me, what else can I do?
55102Had he any idea of meeting with a violent death?
55102Had my father cause also?
55102Has he got into trouble?
55102Has the cross anything to do with the affair?
55102Have you been there?
55102Have you had bad news, Nanny?
55102Have you hurt your foot, sir?
55102Have you quite decided to do that, Eva?
55102Have you seen Giles, sir?
55102Have you seen him since?
55102Have you told the police?
55102He did come back with them, then?
55102He means business, then?
55102He''s another of the gang?
55102Hill?
55102Hill?
55102His wooden hand, eh? 55102 How are you, Miss Strode?--or shall I say Cousin Eva?"
55102How came the pocket- book into Merry''s possession?
55102How can I befriend you?
55102How can I give up anything, when I do n''t know what it is?
55102How can I? 55102 How can that be?"
55102How can you tell it was a man?
55102How dare you say that?
55102How dare you-- how dare----? 55102 How did Lord Saltars know of the murder?"
55102How did he know that?
55102How did you get hold of him?
55102How did you know I went to Shanton to- night?
55102How disgrace you?
55102How do I know that?
55102How do you know I was at the Red Deeps?
55102How do you know about Jerry?
55102How do you know me?
55102How do you know that?
55102How do you know that?
55102How do you know that?
55102How do you know there''s no money? 55102 How do you know''twas your father''s corpse?"
55102How do you know?
55102How do you make that out?
55102How long will he be away?
55102How obstinate you are, Eva,said Allen, contracting his forehead;"I tell you what I''ll do to set your mind at rest; you know he is alive now?"
55102How will you set about it?
55102How?
55102Hum,said Eva, although the ejaculation was not a pretty one, the question is,"Will it live at all?"
55102I dare say, and you''d have come, would n''t you?
55102I daresay we can have a talk to- morrow before you go?
55102I did,said Parkins after a pause;"yes?"
55102I do n''t see clear after all,he said when Allen ended,"sure you''ve told me everything?"
55102I dreamed, as I told you, the night before last at nine o''clock----"Well?
55102I have heard something of this, Eva,said the perplexed young man;"but why waste time in telling me of it now?"
55102I know that-- signed with your name, is n''t it? 55102 I know the place-- who better?
55102I know you, Mr. Giles Merry?
55102I picked up the revolver as I said,he replied;"but about the document?"
55102I read the papers about the inquest,said Miss Lorry, staring at the ground;"what about that lawyer?"
55102I saiy, how long''s this a- goin''on?
55102I suppose Cain must have got the parcel from his father?
55102I suppose you do n''t smoke, then?
55102I thought Strode was your friend, father?
55102I thought you''d grow up to be a comfort to me, but look at you----"If you thought I''d be a comfort, why did you call me Cain, mother?
55102I want to be kind to you, father,he said after a pause;"who will you trust if not your own son?"
55102I wonder if Bell did kill him after all?
55102I wonder if my father meant diamonds?
55102I wonder if the cross is a sign between my father and him, which has called my father to London?
55102I wonder if the wooden hand has anything to do with the matter?
55102I wonder who can have killed him?
55102I''m of the opinion of that old chap in_ Westward Ho_, if you know the book?
55102I''ve no time to waste?
55102If you let him?
55102In course he did, only too glad to get a shot at Strode----"Do you mean to say Merry shot him?
55102In heaven''s name, what is it?
55102In that case, why did he wire to Eva he would be down on Thursday?
55102In your dream? 55102 Is he your cousin?"
55102Is it in danger?
55102Is it murder or poaching or burglary?
55102Is my father afraid of being arrested?
55102Is that quite safe?
55102It is certainly strange that Miss Strode should dream as she did,said Hill, who had turned a trifle pale;"what do you think, Saccharissa?"
55102It is terrible to think of the punishment which has befallen him, Allen,said Mrs. Hill the next morning;"but can we call it undeserved?"
55102It''s probable I can,said Mask, tickled at the impudence of the boy;"but would n''t you rather suffer for stealing, than for murder?"
55102Know the boy?
55102Lady Ipsen-- old Lady Ipsen?
55102Late hours,said his father, staring at him shrewdly;"did I not hear you come in at two o''clock, Allen?"
55102Learn what?
55102Let me what? 55102 Look here, Lord Saltars, what do you mean by going after that girl?"
55102Look here,cried Antonio with an oath,"do you charge me, or any of those three with murder?"
55102Lord Saltars, did you meet my father after he came home?
55102Lord Saltars? 55102 Married you?
55102Mask----?
55102Mask? 55102 Me not to be trusted, I''spose, Miss Eva?"
55102Meaning a murderer?
55102Miss Eva''s cousin?
55102Miss Eva?
55102Miss who?
55102Mr. Hill, how are you? 55102 Mr. Parkins, indeed?"
55102Mrs. Hill, how are you?
55102Mrs. Merry? 55102 My dear boy, why that frown?
55102My father to Strode, or Strode to my father?
55102No fly?
55102No one, Miss Eva?
55102No,said Eva, very decidedly;"how can you expect me to?
55102Not a word,said Saltars in a low voice, then raised it gaily--"How are you, Mrs. Palmer?
55102Not even when his wife died?
55102Of course, unless your father speaks we can do nothing,she said at last;"do you think he is in his right mind, Allen?"
55102Oh dear me, I wonder who killed your poor father? 55102 Oh dear,"she said in dismay;"is it about our marriage?"
55102Oh my eyes and ears, do n''t I just? 55102 Oh no, you wo n''t,"said Miss Lorry, showing her fine white teeth;"what do you mean by splitting?"
55102Oh, Eva,he said roughly,"is that all you care for me?
55102Oh, Mr. Allen, dear,she spoke with the tears streaming down her withered face,"oh, whatever shall I do without my deary?"
55102Oh, are you? 55102 Oh, by the way, Eva, my mother wants to know if you will stop with her till the funeral is over?"
55102Oh, ca n''t I? 55102 Oh, did n''t I though?"
55102Oh, has Cain taken up his residence in Misery Castle?
55102Oh, that''s it, is it?
55102Oh, when will my cup of misery be full? 55102 Oh, you did, did you,"he said,"instead of giving it to your own lawful husband?
55102Oh, you''re going to turn parson, are you? 55102 Oh,"mocked Allen,"and being Italian you speak English and French badly?"
55102Oh,she cried with true womanly feeling, springing forward to help him,"I forgot about your sprain; is it very painful?"
55102On my own earnings, you mean?
55102On the same day?
55102On what day did he say?
55102Open the hand?
55102Parkins,he said frankly and with a keen look,"can I trust you?"
55102Rich?
55102Say what?
55102She is safe,said his father gloomily,"but am I?
55102She''ll interfere, will she?
55102Shot?
55102So Giles Merry wrote this?
55102So Miss Lorry spoke to you?
55102So Miss Strode will get the diamonds?
55102So this is the real reason of your chivalry?
55102So you see my father thought he had killed him, and when this cross was sent----"What cross?
55102Something of the Fresh Air Fund business?
55102Strode?
55102Suppose I hand you over to Father Don and your own parent?
55102Suppose young Hill and his friend tell the police?
55102Tell me what?
55102That was on Wednesday?
55102That was the day Mr. Strode came down?
55102That was the telegram received by Miss Strode after nine on Thursday, I think?
55102That was the train he intended to come by on Thursday?
55102The one as ripped the arm, sir? 55102 The revolver was yours?"
55102Then Merry----?
55102Then there was no police?
55102Then why did he remark about his wooden hand?
55102Then why take advantage of her gratitude? 55102 Then you do n''t agree with her dream?"
55102Then you really think, Allen, that there is money?
55102This bullet caused the death?
55102To meet me, I suppose?
55102To see Giles?
55102To whom, sir?
55102Turn it up, Foxy,said Father Don;"and now, gentlemen,"he added politely,"how did you get here?"
55102Very well, then,said Miss Lorry, her eyes flashing;"why do n''t you go and marry her?
55102Was Boadicea a general?
55102Was that my fault?
55102Was the person who stole the necklace ever discovered, mother?
55102We may marry before you do that,said Cain quickly;"how did you know the circus was here?"
55102Well, Bell,said he coolly,"so you know the worst, do you?
55102Well, Cain,said Eva, entering the kitchen,"so you''re back?"
55102Well, Giles, what''s brought you here at this hour?
55102Well, Jane, and how are you?
55102Well, Mr. Allen,said Mask, who called him thus to distinguish him from his father, whom he had known many years,"so you have come at last?"
55102Well, ai n''t I a- saiyin''of him?
55102Well, gentlemen,he asked quietly,"and what can I do for you?"
55102Well, what good would that do?
55102Well, you know I clean the boots, sir? 55102 Were you woke at one o''clock, Wasp?"
55102What about him?
55102What about me, Miss Strode?
55102What about me?
55102What about my father driving?
55102What about you, darling?
55102What about yourself?
55102What about?
55102What are the circumstances?
55102What are these?
55102What are you doing here?
55102What are you doing?
55102What are you going to do, then?
55102What became of the necklace?
55102What boy?
55102What can be done?
55102What capital are you trying to find, Wellington?
55102What did Father Don do?
55102What did the old man say then?
55102What did you do with the wire?
55102What do you know?
55102What do you mean by prigged?
55102What do you mean by seeing light? 55102 What do you mean by that?"
55102What do you mean by that?
55102What do you mean?
55102What do you mean?
55102What do you mean?
55102What do you mean?
55102What do you think of him, Allen?
55102What do you think?
55102What do you want to know?
55102What do you want?
55102What do you want?
55102What else do you want to know?
55102What else should it be?
55102What for?
55102What girl?
55102What good would that do?
55102What grounds had you to say that?
55102What has that to do with it?
55102What have I got to do with it?
55102What if I do? 55102 What is it about the murder?"
55102What is it, Constance?
55102What is it? 55102 What is it?--oh, what is it?"
55102What is that?
55102What is this document?
55102What kind of a boy was he?
55102What kind of a man was he?
55102What of Father Don and his gang?
55102What of that?
55102What of young Hill and his friend?
55102What sort of questions?
55102What story?
55102What telegram?
55102What the blazes do you mean?
55102What truth?
55102What two?
55102What was it-- what was it?
55102What was that?
55102What wickedness are you plotting now?
55102What will you do now, Allen?
55102What will you do, then?
55102What will you tell him?
55102What wooden hand?
55102What''s money to blood? 55102 What''s that?"
55102What''s that?
55102What''s that?
55102What''s the time?
55102What''s this?
55102What, did he marry Jane Wasp after all?
55102What, did you come home in the_ Dunoon Castle?_"You bet I did, and a fine passage we had.
55102What, sir? 55102 What, that circus woman?
55102What, your husband?
55102What,said Allen,"do you know----?"
55102What,said Mrs. Merry under her breath, and rising,"he''s at it already is he?
55102What?
55102When did you come back, Cain?
55102When will I come back?
55102When you spoke to him at the Red Deeps?
55102Where did he faint?
55102Where did he get the notes?
55102Where did he go?
55102Where did this come from?
55102Where is he?
55102Where will you get them?
55102Where, may I ask, sir?
55102Who are you? 55102 Who can have stolen it?"
55102Who could help being fond of Eva?
55102Who did take the hand?
55102Who did, then? 55102 Who else?"
55102Who is he?
55102Who is it?
55102Who is the lady?
55102Who is the letter to?
55102Who knows that my father is called Lawrence, mother?
55102Who to?
55102Who told you he was called so?
55102Who told you so?
55102Who was lying?
55102Who will prevent me?
55102Who?
55102Why are n''t you seeing Miss Lorry, you young scamp?
55102Why are you so precise about this telegram?
55102Why before you?
55102Why did he go mad so suddenly, Allen?
55102Why did he tell lies about Giles Merry?
55102Why did n''t they inform the police?
55102Why did n''t you arrest him?
55102Why did n''t you inform the police?
55102Why did n''t you send for me, then?
55102Why did you do that? 55102 Why did you do that?"
55102Why did your brother and the others not report to Wasp?
55102Why do n''t you take it to the house?
55102Why do n''t you tell the police so?
55102Why do you ask?
55102Why do you tell me this dream-- which is interesting, I admit?
55102Why five times?
55102Why not? 55102 Why should Giles worry you?"
55102Why should I see him?
55102Why should he come here else? 55102 Why should it be a privilege?"
55102Why should n''t I?
55102Why should we sit here, Selina?
55102Why wo n''t she come to me?
55102Why you fainted and left the house, when you got that cross from Giles Merry?
55102Why, do n''t you think my father may come home? 55102 Why?"
55102Will you give me a few hours to think over the matter?
55102Will you give me some writing to that effect?
55102Will you have him arrested?
55102Will you have some fruit?
55102Would n''t I? 55102 Would they have tried Butsey, had he not got away?"
55102Yes, my father is dead,she went on,"and do you know, Allen, wicked girl that I am, I do not feel so filled with sorrow as I ought to be?
55102Yes; Sebastian Mask-- do you know him?
55102You beast,she cried furiously,"have I not suffered enough at your hands already?"
55102You could n''t get Butsey to come here?
55102You did not expect to find me here, Allen?
55102You did not see the crime committed?
55102You do n''t mind Parkins being in the house?
55102You do n''t think anything will happen?
55102You dug up the wooden hand?
55102You have seen him?
55102You intend then to marry Allen Hill?
55102You knew it was Giles?
55102You never thought I was fond of your father?
55102You saw him dead or dying, eh, eh?
55102You saw that?
55102You saw the gloved hand-- the wooden hand?
55102You seem to know all about my doings?
55102You will be true to me, Eva?
55102You will not repeat what I say to Eva?
55102You''ll come also?
55102You''ll never find him; and even if you do, how do we know that he can tell?
55102You''re on that lay, are you?
55102You''ve got some swag to send up the spout, gents both?
55102You-- but why?
55102Your father?
55102Your wife?
55102--Giles pricked up his ears--"Fortune?"
55102About twelve I was awakened by the five knocks of my dream----""What do you mean by your dream, Miss Strode?"
55102Ah, Wasp, what is it?"
55102Ai n''t the Strodes been here since the Conquest?
55102Ai n''t you got no respect?"
55102Allen began:"Did Mr. Strode ever tell you he had money?"
55102Allen could hardly believe his ears, and rose, filled with indignation:"Do you mean to say that any one dared to accuse you?"
55102Allen, Allen, can I ever repay your father for his noble act?
55102Allen, how does this theme strike you for an opening chorus of Druids-- modern Druids, of course?
55102And after all, why not now, if things are what your father said they were?"
55102And how did I do it?
55102And see here, what''s become of that boy Butsey?"
55102And was it this that set you moping by the winder, my dear lamb?"
55102And what is there between you and Mr. Hill, father, seeing you sent him that cross?"
55102And you saw Mr. Hill bury it?"
55102Antonio, finding force would not do, began to whine,"you''d run in your poor old father?"
55102Are you sure you have everything you want?"
55102As to Cain,"Giles chuckled,"he''s taken up with a business you wo n''t like, Selina?"
55102But I did n''t take it from the dead?"
55102But I say, if Miss Strode''s engaged to Hill why does n''t she marry him now that the father''s dead and there''s no obstacle?"
55102But about this murder?
55102But how could a reward be offered when Eva had no money?
55102But now I have made the offer, what do you say?"
55102But tell me, father?"
55102But there''s one question I want to ask: What''s become of Butsey?
55102But was he?
55102But what about the forty thousand pounds?"
55102But what had Miss Lorry to say?"
55102But what has Giles Merry to do with her?"
55102But what has all this to do with your asking me to be your companion?"
55102But what was the old man''s name?"
55102But what''s that got to do with this?"
55102But why did your father steal it?"
55102But why do n''t you turn honest, man, and make money?"
55102But you wo n''t come?"
55102But, Allen, do you think Miss Lorry knows anything?"
55102Cain looked anxiously into the brutal face,"had you anything to do with that murder?"
55102Can you wonder that I tolerate his whims-- that I let him do what he likes?
55102Catching every one he should n''t catch, I suppose?
55102Certainly the dream had come true in one part, so why not in another?
55102Come, Eva,"he added coaxingly,"have you considered what I said?"
55102D''ye hear?"
55102Death?"
55102Did Merry shoot?"
55102Did he love you?"
55102Did n''t I mention that I did?"
55102Did you go there to see, this day?"
55102Did you see a fly coming along?"
55102Do you intend to marry me or not?"
55102Do you know how he came to lose his right hand, Allen?
55102Do you know it?"
55102Do you know what that means?"
55102Do you know?"
55102Do you think I''ll find a dead body there?"
55102Do you want me to cut a throat?
55102Father Don and Foxy both went in with father----""To murder Strode?"
55102Great heavens, do you think I would?"
55102Has Eva been unkind?"
55102Has he joined the Salvation Army?"
55102Have n''t I the right to take all measures I can for my own safety?
55102Have you seen anything of your father, Cain?"
55102He doubtless made enemies in Africa as your father suggests, but why should an enemy follow him to England to kill him?
55102He had the pocket- book and----""Got the diamonds?
55102He made me sign a document confessing what I had done----""And what in heaven''s name had you done?"
55102He wos coming down to this here plaice on Thursdaiy---""How do you know that?"
55102He''s bound to come out with Mrs. Palmer, and then----""Does he really mean to propose?"
55102He''s gone up to attend a sale----""Oh,"sneered Signor Antonio,"so he''s gone to attend a sale?
55102Hill?"
55102How can you ask me to see any one when I''m in such danger?"
55102How can you stop the marriage?
55102How did you come over?"
55102How did you get it, eh?
55102How did your brother find the body?"
55102How is my mother to live?"
55102How''s your fool of a father?
55102I also said that I knew something about Lord Saltars----""What is that?"
55102I guess you got rid of a lot of that money, bub?"
55102I mean, why do you fancy anything may happen to him?"
55102I say, do you remember when I came to see you at Wargrove?"
55102I suppose Mrs. Merry was glad when she heard he was out of the country?"
55102I suppose you do n''t know how he came by his death?"
55102I suppose you read about the crime in the papers?"
55102I trust Mrs. Merry is more cheerful?"
55102I want money to hunt him down and to do-- other things,"said Giles, hesitating,"have you got five hundred?"
55102I want to know what Policeman Wasp''s doing now?"
55102I wonder if the money can be found?"
55102I wonder what fate will befall Merry and those wretches he associates with?"
55102I wonder why he stole it?"
55102I''ll trust you to the death, for I size up folk uncommon quick, and you?"
55102If I ca n''t find the assassin within a year, will you give over this idea and become my wife?"
55102If she met Butsey on that night I wonder if she asked him to return what he''d stolen?"
55102If that is so, what right have you to go after that girl?
55102If you don''t----""What am I a- goin''to get fur splitting?"
55102In fact"--she hesitated, then burst out,"Allen, I_ am_ wicked, but I feel relieved----""Relieved, Eva?"
55102Inspector Garrit, you say, is making inquiries?"
55102Is Cain back?"
55102Is he in Westhaven?"
55102Is it a wooden hand?"
55102Is that so?"
55102Is the circus there again?"
55102Is this it?"
55102It was his own fault-- how could I lose Saltars, and face poverty and-- disgrace?"
55102It was the laugh I heard in my dream-- a low, taunting laugh----""The dream?"
55102Jerry had decamped, but where he and his friends went I ca n''t say?"
55102Mask said something about money being left in his charge, Eva?"
55102Mask, leading the lad into the room, where the young men were smoking after luncheon,"is Master Train----""Butsey?"
55102Mask, will you come with me into the next room?"
55102Mask;"you do n''t mind?"
55102Mask?"
55102Mask?"
55102Mask?"
55102Mask?"
55102Mask?"
55102Merry?"
55102Merry?"
55102Miss Eva,"he added, turning to the horror- struck girl,"you want to know who laughed in the van?
55102Mrs. Merry drew nearer--"''twas a baddish dream?"
55102My happiness is to be settled in this vague way----""Vague way----?"
55102My wife?"
55102Of course you did not go to the Red Deeps?"
55102Of course,"Allen raised his eyes abruptly and looked directly at his father,"you expected to see him this morning?"
55102Palmer?"
55102Parkins?"
55102Perhaps you''d like to see it, sir?"
55102Saccharissa,"thus he addressed Mrs. Hill, who was called plain Sarah,"do you hear?
55102Shall I not save him?"
55102So you do n''t know yet who killed Eva''s father, Allen?"
55102So you dreamed last night?"
55102So your dream came true?"
55102So your pa was dead, wooden hand and all, in the Red Deeps?
55102Strode?"
55102Strode?"
55102Strode?"
55102Strode?"
55102Suppose I spoil your game with Lord Saltars?"
55102That letter----?"
55102The body was brought home, and the five knocks were given----""By Butsey?"
55102Then I cuts----""One moment,"said Allen,"if Father Don saw the man dead, why did n''t he take the wooden hand?"
55102Then there''s Butsey----""What about Butsey?"
55102Then you can make for Westhaven----""What of the charry- bang?"
55102They could n''t start after him, as they did n''t know what''ud happen, and Merry''s an awful one when put out, so they waited along o''me, d''ye see?
55102They''ll find me out and kill me----""Who will?"
55102To settle down and make you happy?
55102Was that boy here?"
55102Was there no parable in this?
55102Wasp consented, and wrote it out in a stiff military hand, while Allen went on artfully,"Was any weapon found at the Red Deeps?"
55102Wasp stroked a ferocious moustache he wore for the sake of impressing evil- doers;"that''s near the Red Deeps?"
55102Well, Mr. Allen,"Mask leaned back again,"and what can I do for you?"
55102Well, any more questions?"
55102Well, are you satisfied?
55102Well, bring out the diamonds, and, when you hand them over----""You''ll give me the paper?"
55102Well, is it a bargain?"
55102Well, who did, and what was the motive?"
55102Well, your ladyship?"
55102Well?"
55102Well?"
55102What about Merry?"
55102What do you say?"
55102What do you think?"
55102What do you want to see me about?"
55102What does she intend to do-- stop with Mrs. Merry, I suppose, which is a dull life for her?
55102What further evidence have you, inspector?"
55102What have you here?"
55102What if my pals were at Westhaven?
55102What is it?"
55102What of her?"
55102What of the writing?"
55102What was a child like that doing out so late, if he was n''t put up to mischief by some other person?
55102What was he to do?
55102What was in the parcel, sir?"
55102What were you saying?
55102What''s the swag-- silver?"
55102What''s the use of buying instruments you ca n''t play on?
55102What''s up?
55102Whatever would he have said, to see the glove all red with clay?
55102When Strode reached Southampton, he wrote again saying he intended Eva to marry Lord Saltars---""Did he make any mention of money?"
55102When did you last hear from him, Eva?"
55102When did you see that?"
55102When do you expect Mr. Hill back?"
55102When does the inquest take place?"
55102Where are you going, Giles-- not to the drawing- room?"
55102Where did you get it, Merry?"
55102Where did you get it?"
55102Where is it?"
55102Where is the criminal,"added Hill, turning to the policeman,"that I may see him?"
55102Where''s the money now?"
55102Where''ull I begin?"
55102While he gloated over them, Mrs. Hill laid her hand on Foxy''s arm:"What is in that paper?"
55102Who is this?"
55102Who stole the hand?"
55102Who told you to?"
55102Why did n''t you have the man who brought it arrested?"
55102Why did she leave it to Cain?"
55102Why did you faint?"
55102Why did you----?"
55102Why do n''t you go home to your poor wife?"
55102Why do n''t you offer Miss Lorry a sum of money to decline the match?"
55102Why do you ask?"
55102Why do you ask?"
55102Why do you say that?"
55102Why is he afraid?"
55102Why not split on them?"
55102Why should I be?"
55102Why should I cross the desires of a man who behaved so nobly?
55102Why should my father steal this necklace, when he had plenty of money?"
55102Why talk of time?
55102Will you come also, mother, and comfort Eva?"
55102Will you see Mr. Strode to- day?"
55102Will you tell Eva anything, Allen?"
55102Would you have the world lose a masterpiece, Allen?"
55102Would you mind putting me up for a few days?"
55102You carried the body home between you, I suppose?"
55102You know my father was a riding- master, and----""And how you rode to show off to the pupils?"
55102You met him at the station, when he arrived by the six- thirty, and----""What''s that got to do with the murder?"
55102You''d never take me for Mark''s brother?"
55102Your mother----?"
55102asked Eva, looking up,"is Cain back?"
55102asked Mrs. Merry eagerly;"death?"
55102asked Mrs. Merry, still bent on believing Cain was in trouble,"or horse- stealing, seeing he''s in a circus?"
55102asked the old woman bristling;"if I ai n''t got the right to look after you who has?
55102cried Allen;"and you knew?"
55102cried Mrs. Hill, scandalised,"does she let a lad in that position write to her?"
55102echoed Allen, looking up,"and by whom?"
55102he cried with an oath, which it is not necessary to set down;"who are you?"
55102he s he?"
55102he stammered;"what do you know of Giles?"
55102he was a bad man,"sighed Mrs. Merry;"and did he----?"
55102my father also?
55102questioned the coroner sharply,"what boy?"
55102said Allen with a sigh,"and do n''t you?"
55102said Father Don with a start, while Foxy opened his small eyes--"not of Wargrove?"
55102said Giles thoughtfully;"does he take after that fool of a father of his?"
55102said Hill uneasily;"you say the hand was there at dawn?"
55102said Horace, casting looks at the widow;"why not make it a universal custom?"
55102said the dark man with a queer smile;"and her name?"
55102she asked--"did Lawrence faint?"
55102she demanded;"do you hint that my son has anything to do with this matter?"
55102was he a big red- headed man-- a ruffian?"
55102what do you want?"
55102what if I did speak to Strode----?"
55102you woke then?"
6010A dog or a monkey?
6010Ah, but MY Mr. Waring is n''t here to- day, is he?
6010Am I to bargain with my son what use I''m to make of my own property? 6010 And YOU know who did it?"
6010And he asked you, Elma?
6010And he had the snake there?
6010And how''s Sardanapalus?
6010And is he all right again now, do you know? 6010 And rich beyond the utmost dreams of avarice?"
6010And what did your father say to that, Elma?
6010And what sort of a man is this McGregor?
6010And what sort of arrangement do you propose I should make for your personal maintenance, and this Gildersleeve girl''s household?
6010And what was the hereditary trait handed down, as you say, in the family of the Roumanian lady?
6010And when does the next train start?
6010And who is Sardanapalus?
6010And who is the girl, Granville?
6010And who was that man?
6010And you and the other man were shut up in the tunnel there for fifteen hours at a stretch?
6010And you like ME, too, then?
6010And you met him, dear?
6010And you think?
6010And young?
6010And-- my mother?
6010Are you QUITE sure of that, Minnie?
6010Are you a shareholder?
6010But how did it all turn out?
6010But what am I to do?
6010But why on earth did n''t you leave a line to explain what you''d done?
6010But why westward, Waring? 6010 But why, my lord?"
6010Could n''t you find out for us at Drummond, Coutts and Barclay''s who the sender is?
6010Cyril,he, cried,"what does all this mean?
6010Did Gwendoline Gildersleeve write that to you? 6010 Did Gwendoline Gildersleeve write that to you?"
6010Did he pay what he paid from a big roll of notes, and did he take the rest of the notes in the roll away with him?
6010Do I think so?
6010Do you hear what I say? 6010 Do you mean it, Kelmscott?
6010Do you mean to say we may have to stop here, all alone, for eighteen hours together? 6010 Do you think so?"
6010Do you want to speak to me?
6010Does King Khatsua want us to leave his country, then?
6010Elma, my dear, what on earth will Mr. Waring think of you?
6010Elma,she said, leaning over her,"do you know what that was?
6010Expose YOU?
6010Five minutes, my dear sir?
6010Gone? 6010 Guy Waring?"
6010Has Mr. Montague Nevitt been here?
6010Has anybody gone down here?
6010Have you felt it often?
6010He''s paid in six thousand pounds?
6010Heard the news, sir, this morning?
6010How about the prisoner?
6010How can I thank you enough? 6010 How could I ever know how hard and how strong they were?
6010How could I?
6010How dare you so pretend and prevaricate to my face? 6010 How do I know anything?"
6010How do you know all this, Kelmscott?
6010How do you know?
6010How do you mean?
6010How is he?
6010How will you take it?
6010However am I to raise three thousand pounds? 6010 I think a Miss Ewes was the fortunate bidder, was n''t she?"
6010I''ll give you an order to sell out at once, and I''ll fill up this application for three hundred shares-- why not three hundred? 6010 I''m painting him-- yes, that''s true,"he replied, with a look of sudden surprise;"but why''of course,''please?
6010Is every one in the county to be told it but I? 6010 Is he really ill, do you think, papa?"
6010Is it likely I''d suggest it to her?
6010Is it likely I''d tell her? 6010 Is that all you have to say of her?
6010Like it? 6010 May n''t I stay on now, just one little week longer?"
6010Mr. Montague Nevitt?
6010Not even if I clear this all up?
6010Not some girl who''ll bring disgrace upon your mother, I hope?
6010Now, are you quite sure you remember all the people you saw that day? 6010 Oh, Elma, why do you think so?"
6010Oh, Gwennie, what do you mean? 6010 Oh, Sardanapalus, mother-- didn''t I tell you about him?"
6010Oh, do n''t you know why that is?
6010Oh, do tell me,she cried, clasping her hands in suspense once more;"what have you heard about Mr. Kelmscott?
6010Oh, he was just such another one as his lordship, was he?
6010Oh, what have I done?
6010Oh, what have I said? 6010 Oh, what shall I ever do?"
6010On what charge?
6010On what ground does your lordship decide to override the plain verdict of the jury?
6010Quite sure she said Mambury, all of her own accord? 6010 Second class, miss?
6010Seen this evening''s paper, by the way, Guy?
6010So Mrs. Clifford had an ancestress who was a Roumanian, had she? 6010 So you''ve dropped down by accident upon my lair here, have you?
6010Then it was YOUGuy said slowly, breaking the pause at last,"who sent me that anonymous letter at Plymouth?"
6010Then you do n''t believe in brain- waves?
6010Then you like it?
6010There were only two of you, then, in the last carriage?
6010To build the new wing with? 6010 To build the new wing with?"
6010Turn out? 6010 WHAT two young men?
6010Waring,he repeated slowly, like one who endeavoured to collect his scattered thoughts;"what sort of person was he, do you know?
6010Was he, poor fellow?
6010Was she pretty?
6010Well, but why to consult his dentist in particular?
6010Well, what did he tell you, dear?
6010Well?
6010Westward?
6010What age? 6010 What can Granville have done?
6010What do you want to know for?
6010What does THIS mean?
6010What have you got there?
6010What makes it so grey?
6010What name?
6010What on earth can they mean by that? 6010 What possible reason can you have for saying so?"
6010What sort of a gentleman?
6010What vur do''ee want to vind''un? 6010 What young man?"
6010What''s that?
6010What''s the matter, darling?
6010What''s the matter?
6010What? 6010 Where did it come from?"
6010Where else?
6010Who dares to say I go anywhere ferreting?
6010Who is he?
6010Who told you they were nobodies?
6010Who''s there?
6010Why not, Elma?
6010Why not?
6010Why, Elma,she exclaimed, staring her hard and long in the face;"my darling, what''s this?
6010Why, Guy,he answered, with a fierce burst of joy,"then you''re not a murderer after all?
6010Why, mother,it said, in a very tremulous tone,"it is n''t Guy himself at all; do n''t you see it''s Cyril?"
6010Why, what do you mean by that, Mr. Gildersleeve? 6010 Why, what do you mean by that?
6010You do n''t believe any nonsense of that sort, do you? 6010 You think he has more initiative?"
6010You think so?
6010You would?
6010You''ve found that out already, have you? 6010 ... What''s that? 6010 A rough man''s voice-- a navvy''s, no doubt, or a fireman''s-- came speeding along the metal; and it said in thick accents--Do you hear what I say?
6010AND AFTER?
6010AND AFTER?
6010ARE you so sure as you seem of what you said this minute?
6010Ah, mercy, what papers?
6010And Elma answered with bated breath, in almost inarticulate tones,"Do n''t you see?
6010And I must either buy him off; or else, if that wo n''t do--""Or else what, Gilbert?"
6010And Lady Emily too; she''s over yonder, is she?
6010And how did she know the snake was his model?
6010And how did the police come to get a clue to him?"
6010And if so, who had killed him?
6010And if they do n''t dig us out before eighteen hours are over, do you mean to say we shall die of choking?"
6010And in any case-- strangest of all-- where was Guy?
6010And that was a good thing I put you on last week, too, was n''t it?
6010And then what could I ever say?
6010And was this a lucid interval?
6010And what did I do then?
6010And what on earth would Cyril Waring think of her?
6010And what was the meaning of Elma''s profound resolution, so strangely and strongly expressed, never, never to marry him?
6010And whatever the rights themselves may be, they must be very considerable, or else why should he bribe us so heavily to sign ourselves out of them?
6010And where is he now, landlord?
6010And where was he going to?"
6010And who could have an interest in keeping him far from Tilgate?
6010And who could that customer be, Cyril thought to himself, but Colonel Kelmscott?
6010And yet?
6010And, if so, oh, how could she poison Cyril Waring''s life with so unspeakable an inheritance for himself and his children?
6010And, if so, was it possible that Guy had gone wrong in his head BEFORE the affray with Montague Nevitt?
6010Any more goin''on?
6010Are n''t you, Sardanapalus?
6010Are they near or distant?"
6010Are you all alive?
6010Are you quite sure the other man who asked about passers- by wasn''t-- for example-- the judge himself who''s sitting here?"
6010Besides, if HE, did n''t do it, who did, I wonder?"
6010Billington, is it?
6010Billington?"
6010But how far off are they yet?
6010But how?
6010But where is Guy now?
6010But where was Guy Waring?
6010But why did he run away?
6010Can I do anything for you?"
6010Can I see him?"
6010Can you ever forgive me for it?"
6010Clifford- Clifford?
6010Could Cyril have learnt all?
6010Could it be Elma''s father who wanted to send him so quickly away from England?
6010Could it be to get rid of him?
6010Could it be true, what he said in this strange mute language?
6010Could relief be at hand?
6010Could she have learned it meanwhile, before she met him in the wood?
6010Could the firing beneath show that Guy was returning?
6010Could this be Gildersleeve?
6010Could this be a dream?
6010Dead?
6010Dead?
6010Did British propriety ever before allow a man such a glorious opportunity for chivalrous devotion to a lady of family, face, and fortune?"
6010Did he say to Devonshire?"
6010Did n''t he give you a hint what sort of secret he was driving at?"
6010Did n''t he tell you at all what it was he knew?
6010Did n''t he tell you what it was?
6010Did n''t he try to explain to you?
6010Did she mention Mambury?"
6010Did you sell out to- day?
6010Do n''t you see, mother?
6010Do n''t you think I''d better get up and turn them off, or squash them?"
6010Do you mean to say openly you avow your intention of threatening and blackmailing me?
6010Do you mind waiting five minutes?
6010Do you?"
6010Eh, eh, my beauty?
6010Else how account for Guy''s sudden disappearance, and for the fact that he never even wrote home his whereabouts?
6010Every right- minded person detests snakes, do n''t they?
6010For habits like those must set themselves deep in the very core of the system, do n''t you think, Colonel?
6010Gone where?"
6010Great heavens, what was this?
6010Great heavens, what was this?
6010Great heavens-- what was this?
6010Guy Waring HAD sufficient reasons of his own for wishing to leave the country?"
6010Guy Waring had sufficient reasons of his own for leaving the country?"
6010Guy observed that a little red spot rose on Cyril''s cheek he had rarely seen there, and that his voice trembled slightly as he said,"How do you do?"
6010Had Cyril sent this?
6010Had Gwendoline confided his movements to Elma?
6010Had Mr. McGregor come back?
6010Had Nevitt deliberately thrown away his ill- gotten gains?
6010Had he been killed in a fight?
6010Had he induced his victim to accept without question the name and character of some still more open criminal?
6010Had he pulled it out accidentally with his handkerchief?
6010Had his half- brother, in this utmost need, then, so basely deserted him?
6010Had mamma discovered her?
6010Had remorse got the better of him?
6010Had the Cliffords alone discovered the secret of his birth?
6010Has that horrid man come down again from London to worry you?"
6010Have not I been there, too?
6010Have you heard anything more about him?"
6010He was administrator of St. Kitts once upon a time, I believe, or was it Nevis or Antigua?
6010How could I ever explain to her?"
6010How could he ever have been such a fool?
6010How could he ever tell Emily now that Granville was gone?
6010How could he say such things in his heart even now of HER, his pure, trustful Lucy?
6010How could he tell what strange things might have happened in his absence?
6010How could he, indeed, in his turmoil and hurry?
6010How do we know he''s an enemy at all?
6010How else could he have acted?
6010How had she even found out he was at Mambury at all?
6010How many of you are there?
6010How on earth could Montague Nevitt have influenced and directed him in assaulting and murdering Montague Nevitt?
6010How on earth could she hide from that searching glance the whole truth as to what had happened in the wood that morning?
6010How on earth could she know?
6010How on earth could you tell I was an artist even?"
6010How was I to know all that?
6010I did it for my wife''s sake and my daughter''s, I admit-- but I regret it now bitterly-- and am I not atoning for it?
6010I wonder whether by any chance she''s one of the Devonshire Cliffords, now?
6010If I tell you what I know, will you promise me this-- not to breathe a syllable of what I say to anybody?"
6010If Waring meant to give himself up and stand his trial like a man, why the dickens did n''t he do it immediately after the-- well, the accident?
6010If he does n''t fulfil those first duties of his post, why what on earth can be the good of him to anybody in any way?
6010If it''s really such a good thing as you say, why should n''t I profit by it?
6010If so, what could that ghastly secret be?
6010If the money was gone, and Nevitt was murdered, and Guy in hiding, who could say what fresh complications might not still be in store for him?
6010Indeed, why should he?
6010Is Nevitt dead?
6010Is any one injured?"
6010Is everybody else to hear my business before you tell me a word of it?
6010Is he in the house?
6010Is it likely I''d give my own girl the clue?
6010It was shocking and horrible, no doubt; but what else was he to do?
6010It''ll take us weeks and weeks to reach the sea, wo n''t it, by way of Namaqua land?"
6010Kelmscott?"
6010Looks fishy, does n''t it?
6010Mrs. Clifford, may I take you to get a cup of tea?
6010Must she go on for ever?
6010Must she go on till she dropped?
6010No?
6010Now why on earth did he want to keep Granville and the Warings apart?
6010Now, tell me, what vile use did you mean to make of your discovery this morning?"
6010Of course, you''re Mr. Waring''s brother, are n''t you?"
6010Of what use could those wretched pebbles be to him here in the dusty plains of far inland Africa?
6010Of what value were Elma''s vague intuitions now, by the side of Guy''s own positive confession?
6010Oh, God, what was this?
6010Oh, do n''t you see-- don''t you see it?
6010Oh, great heavens, what was this?
6010Oh, what would her mother say, if only she knew all?
6010Or had Nevitt, that double- dyed traitor, now trebled his treachery by informing against the man whom he had driven into a crime?
6010Or run away?
6010Or was he frightened at last, thinking Guy was on his way to recover and restore Cyril''s stolen property?
6010Or was it in fact a murder?
6010Or was it some final device of that fiend, Nevitt?
6010Ought n''t we to get out at once and see what''s happened to the other people?"
6010Perhaps you''ve kept one?
6010Quite sure you did n''t suggest it to her, or supply the name, or give her a hint of its whereabouts, or put her a leading question?"
6010Should he accept this mysterious warning or not?
6010Should he out with it or not?
6010So he merely answered, with a strenuous endeavour to suppress his agitation,"Will you kindly let me have my balance- sheet, if you please?
6010Some eau de Cologne on your forehead, dear?
6010Somewhere down Cyril''s way, too; he''s painting near Chetwood; wonder whether he could possibly, by any chance, have been in it?"
6010That beloved violin would inspire him with ideas; was it suicide or fraud?
6010That was all, was it?
6010The man was his own brother-- his very counterpart, he knew; could he really believe him capable of committing a murder?
6010WHAT JUDGE?
6010WHAT JUDGE?
6010Waring?"
6010Waring?"
6010Was Nevitt really dead?
6010Was he anxious to conceal his part in the theft?
6010Was he essentially a money- grubber, Granville wondered to himself, as he had thought him at first in the diamond fields in Barolong land?
6010Was he incapable of thinking about anything but filthy lucre?
6010Was he running his head into a noose, blindfold?
6010Was his companion dead?
6010Was it chance or design?
6010Was it this which, as he told her, rendered their marriage impossible?
6010Was it this, then, that had made Granville talk so strangely to her that morning by the dell in the Woodlands?
6010Was she going mad?
6010Was she mad?
6010Was she mad?
6010Was that the reason of his absence?
6010Was there anybody whom his presence there could in any way incommode?
6010Was this just another of Nevitt''s wily tricks?
6010Well, you''ll get these young men''s address for me, then, at the very earliest possible opportunity?"
6010Were detectives on the track?
6010Were he and Guy the inheritors of some deadly crime?
6010What can he mean by leaving me to bear it in his stead without ever coming forward to help me fairly out of it?"
6010What could this girl mean?
6010What did he mean by that?
6010What did she say exactly?
6010What did the man mean by living on to vex him?
6010What foxy ferreting have you come down to Mambury for?"
6010What had become of the other one?
6010What had happened to his companion?
6010What has that got to do with Mr. Nevitt''s disappearance?"
6010What height?
6010What insanity had come over her?
6010What kind of a person to look at?"
6010What made her spin and twirl about like this-- irresponsibly, unintentionally, irrepressibly, meaninglessly?
6010What more likely, indeed, seeing he had made off with Guy''s three thousand pounds?
6010What number?"
6010What on earth can they be driving at?
6010What on earth could Waring mean by that?
6010What on earth could have happened?
6010What on earth could his father mean by this whim?
6010What on earth could this mean?
6010What on earth could this mean?
6010What on earth could this mean?
6010What on earth was he to do for his wife, and for Gwendoline?
6010What use my trying to keep it from you any longer?
6010What was Guy''s life to him now, by the side of his wife''s and Gwendoline''s happiness?
6010What was that Elma Clifford suggested the other night?
6010What were they to do now?
6010What would you have?
6010What''s that?"
6010What''s that?"
6010What''s the piece called?
6010What, therefore, could have made him give so curious and almost imperceptible a start the moment Guy Waring''s name was mentioned in conversation?
6010Where could Granville go, however?
6010Who could tell how soon somebody might come up through the woods and interrupt their interview?
6010Who on earth has been here?
6010Who to ask?
6010Who was the Billington he was thus made to personate, and who must really be staying at the very same time in the Duke of Devonshire?
6010Why did n''t Guy come forward and court inquiry?
6010Why dwell upon that seemingly unimportant detail?
6010Why might n''t he have been coming up to town, for example, to see a friend, or get himself fresh colours?"
6010Why saddle his firm with six thousand pounds loss?
6010Why should he, indeed?
6010Why so soft and low?
6010Why such burning solicitude for Colonel Kelmscott''s estate on the part of a man who was his avowed enemy?
6010Why, how on earth do you come to know anything of her, Granville?
6010Why, what on earth has the man got to be frightened of, I should like to know?
6010Will they reach us in time?
6010Will you allow me to undertake your defence in this matter?"
6010With a great humiliation, am I not amply atoning for it?
6010Would her feet never stop?
6010Would the doctors order Sir Gilbert abroad so long that he would be out of England when the trial took place?
6010You bought ten shares, I think, did n''t you?
6010You catch the idea, do n''t you?"
6010You come here to Barolong land, so go look for diamond?"
6010You resisted even the force of my music, did n''t you?"
6010You''re accustomed of old to their ways and manners?"
6010and could the fact of her so learning it have thus pricked the slumbering conscience of their unknown kinsman or their supposed supplanter?
6010he echoed,"do I think so?
6010himself was the murderer?
6010she asked herself, or had some evil spirit taken up his abode within her?
6010she asked, somewhat anxiously;"or is he only-- well-- only frightened?"
6010that some other woman was his father''s lawful consort?
6010what dat you got there?
6010what madness was this?
6010what was this?
6805Accuses_ me_?
6805An inquest?
6805And Guy?
6805And are you sure it was not the same as the one who was here?
6805And by friends you mean confidantes, I presume?
6805And by what arts did you prevail upon this young and confiding creature to leave her comfortable home and go out into the streets with you?
6805And has my brother given you such an assurance as you speak of?
6805And have you taken pains to publish abroad my connection with this girl?
6805And her manners?
6805And is Mr. Harrington a lord?
6805And is that all, Miss Colwell?
6805And she has told you her story of my mother''s illness?
6805And she told you Mr. Barrows was happy?
6805And the latter? 6805 And the second fact?"
6805And the woman you saw?
6805And was it?
6805And what did I see there, Miss Sterling? 6805 And where, then, have you business if not here?
6805And who is the happy man?
6805And who was the fortunate one to obtain this flower?
6805And will Samuel Pollard''s oldest and best- beloved son, the kind- hearted and honest Dwight, lend himself to a scheme of common fraud and violence?
6805And you are really the nurse?
6805And you can swear this to me?
6805And you have that card?
6805And you saw the lady herself?
6805And you, you alone, hold the key to her real history?
6805And your credulity is sufficient to allow you to consider Mr. Barrows''death as the result of accident?
6805And your sons?
6805Are you the gentleman who telegraphed from S----?
6805Are you the person who took this young lady from her boarding place?
6805Are you worth the penalty which my good name must suffer?
6805But how will you account for your interest in this young person?
6805But is that all you are going to tell me?
6805But what proof have you that it was I who went for Miss Merriam? 6805 But whose were the hands that thrust him back four days ago?
6805But you will do so?
6805But,I faltered, striving in vain to throw off the incubus of horror which his words invoked,"what good would my death do you?
6805Can it be?
6805Can not answer me?
6805Can this be true?
6805Can you hold your tongue?
6805Cover it up?
6805David Barrows,came in imperative tones from the masked figure,"will you tell us where this will is?"
6805Did he tell you,he at last resumed, with some effort,"that it is our wish for you to remain in this house till our mother is buried?"
6805Did n''t they use to come here to see him?
6805Did n''t you know there were reasons why we especially wanted an elderly person?
6805Did she mention no names?
6805Did you know that Mr. Barrows was engaged?
6805Did you not know, sir?
6805Do you guess what has happened?
6805Do you intend to explain yourself further?
6805Do you know her history or connections?
6805Do you mean,she cried,"that_ he_ deserves any such name as that?
6805Do you realize what this girl''s living meant? 6805 Do you see that limb?"
6805Do you think I succumbed without a struggle?
6805Do you want any thing of me?
6805Do you?
6805Dr. Perry''s case?
6805Drowned?
6805Drowned_ himself?_Did she speak or I?
6805Drowned_ himself?_Did she speak or I?
6805Fate is to blame for much; is it also to blame for the fact that you sought her? 6805 Garments?"
6805Guy has not told you, then,said he,"what caused the shock that has prostrated our mother?"
6805Hate him?
6805Have I not shown you one?
6805Have you ever thought,I asked,"what it was that created such a change in him?
6805Have you it still?
6805Have you no enemies among the women?
6805Have you seen this other person?
6805Have you the heart to dash such happiness as that?
6805Have you told any one of what you saw and read?
6805He has talked about me, and to you?
6805He loved deeply a noble woman; they were to have been married in a month; does that look like happiness?
6805He was a very rich man, was he not?
6805He was finishing a book, was he not? 6805 He was very happy, then?"
6805His betrothed?
6805His?
6805His?
6805How came you at the mill?
6805How can it be?
6805How did Mr. Barrows die?
6805How do you know this?
6805How do you know? 6805 How then be drowned here?--how?
6805I came to see if you wanted any thing?
6805I hope he has not made you feel other than satisfied of our good- will towards you?
6805I make that assertion again-- is it sufficient?
6805I must speak to you at once; will you follow me?
6805I or my brother,was the calm response,"Would you expect us to leave her alone with a stranger?"
6805I want to know how you dared put in language the insinuations which you hung up on the door of the old mill this morning?
6805I was just going to call on the family,said he;"I drew up Mr. Pollard''s will myself, and---""You drew up Mr. Pollard''s will?"
6805If it was not enough coming from his lips, how could it be coming from mine?
6805In spite of my protest and that of my son?
6805In that conversation I made a solemn assertion; do you recollect what it was?
6805Insinuations?
6805Is it in your rooms?
6805Is it not enough?
6805Is it not on your person?
6805Is it possible,I murmured,"that you do not know?"
6805Is it-- is it any one I know?
6805Is there no word of comfort I can give you?
6805It is in your rooms, then; in your desk, perhaps?
6805Killed her?
6805Killed her?
6805Look at her well-- she can bear it-- and tell me where in the world you will find beauty more entrancing or a nature lovelier and more enticing?
6805Madam,I cried,"can you think of no other motive than a desire for vengeance or gain?
6805Miss Merriam?
6805Miss Sterling,he inquired,"do you understand what Miss Colwell has been saying?"
6805Miss Sterling,said he,"you have seen Anice, my mother''s waiting- maid?"
6805Miss Sterling,were his words,"do you remember a conversation we had this morning?"
6805Miss Sterling?
6805Money?
6805Mother,said he, in the calmest and most courteous of tones,"shall I let this gentleman pass?"
6805Mr. Barrows,said she;"what is this girl to you that you should sacrifice the living to her memory?"
6805Mr. Pollard,said I,"is there any thing you wish to impart to me before you die?
6805Mrs. Pollard,I returned with equal intensity,"shall I tell you?
6805My mother raves, you say; will you be kind enough to tell me what her words were?
6805My reasons, Mr. Pollard? 6805 No one else?"
6805None of them?
6805Of whom are you speaking?
6805Oh, do you think they like you now? 6805 One who out of revenge,"I proceeded,"might be induced to attach your name to suspicions calculated to rob you of honor, if not life?"
6805Perhaps you think it is not worth while to fight me; that I have no real weapons at my command?
6805Proofs?
6805Relative or friend?
6805Shall we have what we want before your death or after?
6805She told you my mother was stricken at the sudden news of Mr. Barrows''death?
6805Simon,I heard him say,"you remember that beautiful flower I noticed yesterday in the conservatory?"
6805So you are sure you do n''t want anything?
6805So you think this a better place for decision than the floor above?
6805The date?
6805The number of her boarding- place?
6805Then no one but yourself saw the paper?
6805Then she never saw it?
6805Then she never talked to you about herself?
6805Then why do you ask one from me?
6805Then you do not intend to put us in possession of my father''s will?
6805Was his death sudden, that it should affect mother so?
6805Was it in the mill- stream?
6805Was it she who told you where to look for those?
6805Well, sir, she came at about eleven in the morning----"What day?
6805Well?
6805Were you alone?
6805What I want?
6805What day was it that Mr. Barrows was found in the vat?
6805What did you hope to gain by this deliberate plan of destruction? 6805 What do you hope to gain from me, that you presume to write me such a letter on an occasion like this?"
6805What do you mean?
6805What does this mean?
6805What have you there?
6805What is it? 6805 What is it?"
6805What is it?
6805What is known?
6805What of them?
6805What was her name?
6805What was the color of her veil?
6805What woman has my secret-- if secret I have? 6805 What,"I exclaimed,"is that still here?"
6805What?
6805When can you be ready?
6805When shall I be released?
6805When was this letter received?
6805When?
6805Where are we going?
6805Where?
6805Which disturbed these garments before you? 6805 Who are you?"
6805Who are you?
6805Who has seen it?
6805Whom do I mean?
6805Whom do you mean?
6805Why did I not meet you two years ago?
6805Why did you not show it to me at once?
6805Why have you brought this young girl?
6805Will ten minutes be soon enough?
6805Will you come into the cellar below?
6805Will you refuse to make them comfortable, Margaret?
6805Would it be?
6805Would it have been better for me if you had?
6805You are decided, then, upon secrecy?
6805You are not quite convinced he is all that I have declared him to be?
6805You do n''t love him?
6805You have me in a trap,said I;"who are you, and what are your intentions with me?"
6805You have no favor to show me, then?
6805You have not seen him at your feet, or heard his voice, as day by day he pleaded more and more passionately for a word or smile? 6805 You know my story then?"
6805You saw him then? 6805 You think he was crazy?"
6805You will do this, will you not?
6805You will give it back?
6805Your brother?
6805''And what does it contain?''
6805''_ The clergyman_''?
6805Ah, my false heart, what hast thou done?
6805Am I a woman to listen to the passionate avowals of the first man that happens to glance my way and imagine he would like to have me for his wife?
6805And giving a smothered shriek, she grasped me by the arm, crying:"What do they say?
6805And if they had seen it, what would they have thought?
6805And now, what do you think of the clutch I hold upon your life?"
6805And she-- where was she?--between me and the table?
6805And was there any thing but hope and trust in the tone with which she had designated her lover as being the best and noblest man in town?
6805And yet who could say that a coward and a villain might not be speaking the truth even in an accusation of this nature?
6805And, drawing back, she looked into his dazed face, and then into mine, as though she would ask:"Have I convinced you that I am a woman to be feared?"
6805Are you going to fight to keep his name free from stain and his position unassailed before the world?"
6805Are you prepared to answer all and every question that will be put you?"
6805Are you willing to regard me in this light, and will my mere word be sufficient to cause you to do so?"
6805Barrows?"
6805Barrows?"
6805Barrows?"
6805Because he admires_ her_?
6805But then she was the magnate of the place, the beginning and end of the aristocracy of S----; and when is not such a one open to calumny?
6805But then, what could his books tell me?
6805Can she be the woman he was engaged to before he fell in love with Ada?"
6805Can they be having a reception?
6805Can you not wait for that hour?"
6805Can you remember?''
6805Can you tell me the name of the person with whom she went away, or where she can be found now?"
6805Could I have done differently, Constance?"
6805Could I not remember the happy smile which accompanied her offer of assistance and home to me?
6805Could any thing have been worse?
6805Could he know now what threatened her do you think he would wish you to drag disgrace upon her head for the sake of justice to a being who is dead?"
6805Could it be that some one more interested than I knew had stolen it?
6805Could it put Mr. Pollard''s will in your hands?"
6805Did I believe him?
6805Did you know her well?"
6805Die?
6805Do they say''The clergyman''?"
6805Do you believe me, Miss Sterling?"
6805Do you blame us?
6805Do you call her a beauty?
6805Do you intend to ruin her happiness or do you not?
6805Do you not know I hold your good name, if not your life, in my hands?"
6805Do you suppose I would stoop to take information from him?
6805Guy said I should find him here in good condition?"
6805Harrington?"
6805Have I not already given them to you?
6805Have they obtained what they want and now am I to be left here to perish?"
6805Have you never heard of such a thing as justice?"
6805How could you see?
6805How was she shaped?
6805I asked myself, as I hurriedly followed,"that it is Mr. Barrows she is going to marry?"
6805I could say nothing after this,''But are you a relative, ma''am?''
6805I cried,"money?
6805I interrupted;"you do not think he had been using it when you went to the door?"
6805I love and the position to which I feel myself equal?
6805I murmured,"who is this?"
6805I must, therefore, choose some other means of attaining my end; but what one?
6805I overtook her at last; but where?
6805I repeated, in astonishment;"garments?"
6805I therefore returned a quiet affirmative, adding only in qualification of the avowal,"What other reasons were necessary?"
6805I think I have heard he left a completed manuscript behind him?"
6805I was willing enough to answer, so I returned:"I am Constance Sterling"; and almost immediately added:"And who are you?"
6805If a drowning man can review his life in an instant, what was there not left for me to think and suffer in the lapse of those five horrible minutes?
6805If they came from a credible person-- but how could they do so and be written and posted up in the manner they were?
6805Is Mr. Barrows dead, then?"
6805Is Mrs. Pollard entertaining guests to- day?"
6805Is he a man to have enemies?--or is that a place a man would be likely to seek for pleasure?"
6805Is it necessary for me to repeat them?"
6805Is it revenge?
6805Is there any thing more you would like to know?"
6805It asks me where is the noble womanhood that might have blossomed from this sweet bud, had it not been for my pusillanimity and love of life?
6805Mrs. Pollard is sick--""Do they like you?"
6805Now was this order, given as it was by Dwight Pollard, one of warning or of simple threat?
6805Now what explanation do you give of Mr. Barrows''death?"
6805Oh, what does it mean?"
6805On the contrary, I would do you a good turn; for what are we here for, miss, if it''s not to help one another?"
6805Or did she seek you?"
6805Or was the landlady of my former home alone to blame for its being lost or mislaid?
6805Pollard?"
6805Pollard?"
6805Pollard?"
6805Say, say, do you think they like you now?"
6805She answered''What for?''
6805Spoke to him?
6805That is what you would ask, is it not, Miss Sterling?"
6805That this hour would ever come I dared not dream, but now that it has, can you, will you give me so much as you have, and not give me more?
6805That you will tell the world this and not tell----""What I did not see?"
6805The girl''s death, or simply her degradation?"
6805The past----But what have I promised myself and you?
6805The wily woman had sounded the depths of the gulf upon the brink of which she had inadvertently stumbled, and her voice, which had been harsh?
6805The woman seemed very pleasant, and paid all the bills, but----""But what?"
6805Then I thought of Rhoda Colwell, and then----"Just what time was it,"I asked,"when you were away in August?
6805Then a little flush stole into her cheek, and, pressing my hand, she said:"Will you trust it to me for a while?"
6805Then suddenly,"Do you live here?"
6805Then, as I took a hurried, though by no means steady, step towards the door, he added:"I need not ask you to speak to no one else?"
6805These articles,"I pursued,"have they, or have they not, any connection with the tragedy which makes the place in which we stand memorable?"
6805Was I not her grandfather''s wife, and could I not be supposed to know what his desires were concerning her?"
6805Was I, who had given to Samuel Pollard the very money by means of which he had made his wealth, to stand this?
6805Was he found----""In the vat?
6805Was he upon trial, then, and was he willing I should see he understood it?
6805Was it Mrs. Pollard speaking?
6805Was it a dream, my presence in this fearful spot?
6805Was it because I knew those circles of blackness held many another such pit of doom as that into which I had so nearly stumbled?
6805Was it because he knew the place too well?
6805Was it before the seventeenth, or after?
6805Was it displeasure he showed?
6805Was it my duty to encounter this danger?
6805Was it possible for me to tell him?
6805Was it the word I used or did some notion of the effect which a true remorse can have upon a conscientious soul, pierce her cold heart at last?
6805Was it, as his letter seemed to imply, a martyr''s story?
6805Was the book from which it had been taken there?
6805Was there no means of escape?
6805Were these gestures, sudden, determined, and full of subdued threatening, the offspring of an erratic brain or the expression of a fool''s hatred?
6805Were you with her then?
6805What could I feel or say but No?
6805What could any one, under the circumstances?
6805What could it mean?
6805What could it mean?
6805What did it mean?
6805What fear is this, which startles in our ears?
6805What night was it on which you saw me place Mr. Barrows in the vat?
6805When it was at its height she leaned her two hands on a table that stood between us, and, bending forward, whispered:"Do you love him?
6805When you plunged them into this abyss of greed and deceit did no phantom of their lost manhood rise and confront you with an unanswerable reproach?"
6805Where was I standing when I first became conscious of her presence in the room?
6805Where were you, demon and witch in one?"
6805Whither wilt thou lead me?
6805Who was I, that I should know these grand folks?
6805Who would not have done so?
6805Whose?
6805Why had I allowed myself to be caught in such a trap?
6805Why had I not followed Mr. Nicholls immediately to Boston when I heard that he was no longer in town?
6805Why should he risk his honor and his safety in an action as dangerous to him as ungrateful to you?
6805Why, then, had not some one seen and produced it?
6805Why?
6805Will you accept it from me, Miss Sterling, and with it my most cordial appreciation and esteem?"
6805Will you listen?"
6805Will you?"
6805Would I come and see him?
6805Would I listen?
6805Would she be the embodiment of ingenuousness which her grandfather had evidently believed her to be?
6805Would you mind telling me what worries you?"
6805You say you noticed it for a month before his death; could any thing have happened to disturb him at that time?"
6805_ Des_.--Talk you of killing?''
6805and afterwards:"Are you sure he is not injured?"
6805and so you are going to ascribe his death to suicide?"
6805do they like you now?"
6805he wonderingly cried,"do you intend to sit up too?"
6805how?"
6805the future!--what am I to do with my future?"
55831A handkerchief?
55831A twin sister, you mean?
55831A will?
55831Ah, Arthur, is that you? 55831 Ah, your father?"
55831Ah, your pride is up in arms?
55831Alone?
55831Always Vernon?
55831Am I not laying a trap into which he will walk?
55831Am I supposed to be everyone?
55831Am I to understand that you are engaged to Miss Dimsdale?
55831And Hest?
55831And Miss Jewin?
55831And Mr. Hest? 55831 And Mrs. Hiram G. Slowcomb herself?"
55831And how do you come to be in this house?
55831And if I do n''t consent you will do your best to ruin me socially?
55831And if I have,cried Frances, rising to the height of her tall figure,"has that influence been used for otherwise but good?
55831And if I refuse?
55831And if not?
55831And is this all the evidence you have to go upon?
55831And may I ask,requested Vernon with irony,"how many other people you have blackmailed by using this stamp?"
55831And my rival also?
55831And on more tangible grounds, perhaps? 55831 And on what terms do you propose to join in the business you despise?"
55831And pay the money?
55831And suppose I tell everyone who Nemo is?
55831And the question?
55831And then you will be rich?
55831And what business is it of Mr. Maunders'', I should like to know?
55831And what may that be? 55831 And when Lady Corsoon died you guessed that your wife-- which she never will be, you can rest assured-- would inherit the whole Dimsdale fortune?"
55831And you say that the crime was not premeditated?
55831And your sister?
55831Are you a private enquiry agent also?
55831Are you a woman?
55831Are you afraid?
55831Are you detaining Miss Dimsdale here?
55831Are you here as my old school friend?
55831Are you quite sure,asked Vernon, taking up his tall hat,"that it is advisable to lay this trap on the night of the ball?"
55831Are you very like one another, Frances, dear?
55831As the fortune- teller? 55831 Business?
55831But Diabella must have signed the consent to the transfer?
55831But I thought,Vernon carefully commanded his voice,"I thought, that Diabella had retired from business?"
55831But about Maunders; has he ever said anything to you likely to reveal the name of the assassin?
55831But do you intend to pay the money?
55831But do you really believe anyone has such powers?
55831But for this scar?
55831But for what reason?
55831But how can he find out?
55831But how the deuce could she learn this secret of Dimsdale''s?
55831But the lawyer must have seen her?
55831But this Spider?
55831But why have you left Maunders and Towton out, may I ask? 55831 But why not, if we are to catch Diabella?"
55831But why, in heaven''s name, with your abilities, did you embark on such an evil course?
55831But why?
55831But you did not intend to be found out as The Spider?
55831But you were masked: he could not recognise you?
55831But your condition?
55831But your professional engagements?
55831By the way, I suppose some reward will be offered for his apprehension by Miss Dimsdale? 55831 Ca n''t you guess?"
55831Can I see Diabella?
55831Can we see Professor Gail?
55831Can you know her and doubt for a moment but that this viper has made a most iniquitous accusation? 55831 Can you suggest four gentlemen, Arthur?"
55831Can you tell me what my heart''s desire is?
55831Cash?
55831Certainly not Lucy, if I can help it,said Vernon hotly;"but what about Miss Dimsdale?
55831Colonel Towton has a place near Gerby Hall, I believe?
55831Colonel, do you remember how you gave it as your opinion that Dimsdale had been strangled by a Thug?
55831Come, Maunders,said Vernon sternly,"who told you?"
55831Conditions?
55831Dangerous?
55831Did Dimsdale ever give you to understand that his secret, whatever it might have been, was a disgraceful one?
55831Did Miss Hest ever mention him?
55831Did he die of that?
55831Did he write to you?
55831Did n''t I say that Mr. Vernon would remark how fickle you are, Ida?
55831Did n''t I tell you? 55831 Did n''t Lady Corsoon tell you anything?"
55831Did n''t the lawyer know that she was a girl?
55831Did she kill herself, poor wretch?
55831Did you explain?
55831Did you invite me down with Lucy to forward that marriage?
55831Did you leave Miss Dimsdale in good health?
55831Did you tell him that I was Nemo?
55831Did you think so meanly of me as that?
55831Did you wish to see me, Colonel?
55831Do I wish to see you?
55831Do you believe her to be this Spider?
55831Do you believe that?
55831Do you believe this lie of The Spider''s?
55831Do you mean to say that The Spider perpetrated this crime, sir?
55831Do you mean to say that he has ceased to court Miss Dimsdale? 55831 Do you mean to say that the young scamp has been masquerading as a woman?"
55831Do you really believe that Hest is The Spider?
55831Do you really possess the power of reading things?
55831Do you suspect he has anything to do with the business?
55831Do you suspect that Mr. Maunders knows more than he admits?
55831Do you think Maunders himself blackmailed his aunt?
55831Do you think it is true?
55831Do you think so, when I shall soon be Sir Arthur Vernon, with an eligible country seat and three thousand a year, more or less?
55831Do you think that was kind or wise?
55831Do you wish me to remain?
55831Does he never take any pleasure in other ways?
55831Does she know anything?
55831Does she support Maunders?
55831Does she want Ida to marry Maunders?
55831Drench? 55831 Eh, what?
55831Fickle?
55831Fight? 55831 For Lucy?"
55831For his daughter''s sake?
55831For instance?
55831Fortune- telling?
55831Frances, do you mean to say that the money is really mine?
55831Frances,Ida sat up on the sofa and looked reproachfully at her friend,"how can you talk so?
55831Francis is all right, I hope?
55831From Ida-- I mean from Miss Dimsdale?
55831From whom does our criminal friend inherit?
55831Hang old Dimsdale, what objection can he have to me?
55831Have some more champagne, Colonel?
55831Have they caught the man?
55831Have you been there-- at the bazaar?
55831Have you had any news of Miss Dimsdale?
55831He keeps them all going, you mean?
55831Hokar?
55831How are we to retrace our steps in this fog?
55831How are you, Mr. Vernon,she said, shaking hands politely;"is your business with Miss Dimsdale very important?
55831How can Ida help you to do so?
55831How can you bother me about such things when Frances is so ill? 55831 How can you tell that when we are nearly in darkness with this fog?"
55831How dare you?
55831How decamped?
55831How did you become possessed of it?
55831How did you get Diabella?
55831How did you get in, sir?
55831How did you learn this secret of Dimsdale''s? 55831 How do you connect me with this private enquiry agent?"
55831How do you know that Colonel Towton was a client of yours? 55831 How do you know that?"
55831How do you mean?
55831How do you propose to secure him? 55831 How do you reconcile this devilry with his philanthropy?"
55831How is it that Miss Dimsdale looks so ill?
55831How is she now, Colonel?
55831How long does he give you to answer this new demand?
55831How the devil can you ask me such a question, and how dare you, if it comes to that? 55831 Hungry?"
55831I am going to mind it now,said Towton with a frown;"but first tell me, since you are so frank, what about Lady Corsoon''s jewels?"
55831I am quite well, thank you,replied Vernon, for the benefit of the surrounding guests, and lowered his voice likewise:"Any news, good or bad?"
55831I ask you, Colonel Towton, if this is the way for one gentleman to treat another?
55831I ca n''t speak plainer, can I? 55831 I do n''t think so,"rejoined Towton drily,"but before explaining, may I ask how Miss Dimsdale is keeping?"
55831I do n''t understand----"Do n''t I speak plainly?
55831I said there were two cases, did n''t I? 55831 I think he will in any case?"
55831I thought that Mrs. Bedge was your aunt?
55831I thought that you did not approve of your sister appearing as a reciter?
55831I thought you barred pet names?
55831I thought you did n''t like Colonel Towton?
55831I wonder Miss Jewin did n''t sell them?
55831Ida refused you?
55831Ida, is it this which has been so troubling you?
55831If I tell it will you let me leave this house free?
55831If it is merely lies, why pay?
55831If it was, what would you do?
55831In heaven''s name, Maunders, why ca n''t you be an honest man? 55831 In heaven''s name, what does it mean?"
55831In my what?
55831In spite of the fact that I am Nemo?
55831In that case you will have given up all pursuit of Miss Corsoon?
55831In that case, why not have the dam examined to- day?
55831In what way?
55831Is Colonel Towton?
55831Is Miss Corsoon here?
55831Is Mr. Arthur Vernon here?
55831Is it a crime to earn an honest livelihood?
55831Is n''t a week''s notice rather a short one to give for an entertainment of this sort?
55831Is n''t that dangerous?
55831Is she ill?
55831Is that strange?
55831Is that true?
55831Is the someone a woman or a man?
55831Is there any chance of success?
55831Is there anything more your lordship requires?
55831Is your Inspector in the house?
55831Is your mistress in?
55831It is n''t at all like an ancestral home, is it?
55831It seems odd, does n''t it? 55831 Know of him?"
55831Know what?
55831Lady Corsoon''s ball?
55831Lady Corsoon? 55831 Leave what to me?"
55831Leaving the field clear for Maunders?
55831Mine? 55831 Miss Hest''s brother?"
55831Miss Hest, how do you explain Hokar?
55831Miss Jewin, gentlemen,she said with a stiff curtsey;"What can I do for you?"
55831My colour?
55831My dear lady, why did you not join us in the drawing- room?
55831My enemy?
55831Not if I get your father to let Maunders come to the ball?
55831Now what the deuce does this mean?
55831Of course, you would say that for your own safety,said Vernon contemptuously;"but how was it that you became possessed of Dimsdale''s secret?"
55831Oh is he?
55831Oh, I am willing to help you, but as to Mr. Vernon-- he is with Lucy now?
55831Oh, I thought that Francis Hest was looked upon as a benefactor?
55831Oh, can you; can you?
55831Oh, the Colonel has been talking, has he? 55831 Oh, what is the good of being sorry?
55831Oh, you do, do you?
55831Oh; and do you intend to?
55831On Miss Dimsdale? 55831 On what grounds?"
55831On what grounds?
55831One moment,said Towton, turning to the prim woman,"you lured Vernon into the kitchen of that empty Kensington house?"
55831Perhaps The Spider himself, in disguise?
55831Rather odd in a man who is a mere acquaintance, eh?
55831Say next Wednesday?
55831She has really gone?
55831She is clever?
55831So old Dimsdale told you?
55831So that is why you have changed your mind with regard to my wooing of Lucy?
55831So you are Nemo, are you, Mr. Vernon? 55831 So you are back from your honeymoon?"
55831So you have been to see Mrs. Bedge? 55831 Someone for what?"
55831Strange, is it not?
55831Suppose we do n''t?
55831That means you mistrust this actor also and wish to throw him off the scent?
55831The Spider? 55831 The Spider?"
55831The deuce he is?
55831The fortune- teller? 55831 The native who tried to choke me?"
55831The police?
55831The villains?
55831The wrong way?
55831Them? 55831 Then Ida, not being Dimsdale''s daughter, and there being no will, can not inherit her presumed father''s money as next of kin?"
55831Then Mr. Dimsdale did not purposely delay the relief expedition which was to rescue Menteith?
55831Then he is The Spider?
55831Then what he said is----"Are you talking of a secret of your father''s, Ida?
55831Then you are The Spider?
55831Then you ca n''t be certain that what you tell me is true?
55831Then you intend to marry Miss Corsoon?
55831Then you think that he has left England?
55831Then you_ are_ Nemo?
55831Then, in spite of his promise, he told you what I so much desired to keep secret?
55831There is no grounds for this assertion on the part of The Spider?
55831These are your names, I take it? 55831 This and that?"
55831Thought what?
55831To do what?
55831To forbid me your house?
55831To go to Lady Corsoon?
55831To his advantage? 55831 Towton, you surely do n''t suspect Miss Hest of knowing anything about her brother''s wickedness?"
55831Until when?
55831Until when?
55831Was Mr. Dimsdale my father?
55831Welcome by the tenantry, triumphal arches, addresses, dinners and speeches, and what not, I suppose?
55831Well, what do you make of it?
55831Well,echoed Vernon, as they turned their faces towards London,"what do you wish to say?"
55831Well?
55831Were the windows open?
55831What about Colonel Towton?
55831What about Hokar and Bahadur?
55831What about the Dimsdale property?
55831What are they?
55831What became of Bahadur?
55831What can he think, but that Hest is a genuine philanthropist?
55831What did she tell you about Diabella?
55831What did she tell you?
55831What did she write about, and why to you?
55831What do you call this place?
55831What do you intend to do?
55831What do you know about him?
55831What do you know?
55831What do you make of it all?
55831What do you mean by all this, sir?
55831What do you mean by that?
55831What do you mean, exactly?
55831What do you mean?
55831What do you mean?
55831What do you mean?
55831What do you mean?
55831What do you mean?
55831What do you mean?
55831What do you mean?
55831What do you mean?
55831What do you mean?
55831What do you propose to do first, may I ask?
55831What do you think of it?
55831What do you wish to know?
55831What does it mean?
55831What for? 55831 What good would that do?"
55831What happened exactly?
55831What happened?
55831What has been said?
55831What have you been doing to yourself? 55831 What have you discovered?"
55831What have you to do with this matter, may I ask?
55831What if I did? 55831 What if they did?
55831What is it?
55831What is it?
55831What is it?
55831What is the matter?
55831What is your first step?
55831What is your secret?
55831What is, if I may ask?
55831What makes you think the Colonel can explain?
55831What man?
55831What matter?
55831What name am I to give?
55831What on earth is the matter?
55831What other things?
55831What sort of trap do you propose to lay?
55831What the deuce do the inhabitants live on? 55831 What the deuce does it all mean?"
55831What the devil do you know?
55831What was Mr. Dimsdale''s secret?
55831What ways?
55831What wonderful things?
55831What would the world say if it knew that Arthur Vernon was a private inquiry agent, making his money out of people''s secrets?
55831What would your mother say to that?
55831What''s that?
55831What''s that?
55831What''s to be done now?
55831What''s to be done now?
55831What''s up, now?
55831What, ten thousand a year?
55831What? 55831 What?
55831What?
55831What?
55831What?
55831What?
55831What?
55831What?
55831When did you see him?
55831When do you expect Mr. Hest back?
55831When do you return to Bowderstyke?
55831When will the inquest take place?
55831Where are you going, Arthur? 55831 Where are you staying?"
55831Where is Gerby Hall?
55831Where is he now?
55831Where is that?
55831Where is the dam which our criminal friend built?
55831Who are they?
55831Who drew up the Deed of Gift?
55831Who else should?
55831Who is Miss Jewin?
55831Who is The Spider, or what is The Spider?
55831Who is The Spider?
55831Who is guilty?
55831Who is horrid?
55831Who is horrid?
55831Who is there?
55831Who knows? 55831 Who knows?
55831Who told you that I had changed my mind, sir?
55831Who told you the secret?
55831Who was it said that life would be endurable if it were not for its festivals?
55831Why could n''t she speak to me direct?
55831Why did he do that?
55831Why did n''t you prevent him from strangling Dimsdale?
55831Why did n''t you turn up to dinner as arranged? 55831 Why did you act in this way, may I ask?"
55831Why did you need money when you had the estates?
55831Why did you send that insulting woman here?
55831Why did you take it up? 55831 Why did you wish to tear it off?"
55831Why did you?
55831Why do you ask?
55831Why do you doubt him?
55831Why does your sister wish Miss Dimsdale to marry Maunders?
55831Why has he gone abroad, then?
55831Why is n''t the reptile arrested when he comes for his money? 55831 Why not ask Diabella?"
55831Why not post a policeman, or a plain- clothes detective, to catch the beast?
55831Why not? 55831 Why not?
55831Why not? 55831 Why not?
55831Why not?
55831Why should Mr. Hest assault you?
55831Why should it be?
55831Why should it be?
55831Why should you think I was capable of giving advice, Miss Hest?
55831Why should you think that?
55831Why the deuce should he provide himself with an< I> alibi?"Ca n''t you see that Maunders must be The Spider?
55831Why unaccountably?
55831Why was there any need for you to wear female clothes at all?
55831Why you, rather than anyone else?
55831Why, I thought you loved Lucy?
55831Why, after our mutual wedding breakfast at Lady Corsoon''s; do n''t you recollect? 55831 Why?
55831Why?
55831Will he be successful?
55831Will she have that much?
55831Will you go now?
55831Will you kill yourself?
55831Will you leave me, Ida?
55831Will you permit me to place my services at your disposal?
55831Will you see Ida and suggest my scheme to be her companion?
55831Will you sign this document giving it to me?
55831With Hest?
55831With the thousand pounds?
55831Wo n''t you come, too?
55831Would you do that, would you say that, if you knew that I was a private detective, or, to soften the term, a private enquiry agent?
55831Would you elope if I asked you?
55831Yes; but, hang it, he ca n''t mean to marry both girls?
55831Yes?
55831You admit the crime?
55831You are The Spider?
55831You are stopping in town long?
55831You call him that?
55831You do a good deal yourself in the way of philanthropy?
55831You do n''t believe a word of what?
55831You do n''t mean Constantine?
55831You do n''t mind my having a private talk, do you?
55831You do n''t think she read it in the astral light? 55831 You do n''t think she was Diabella unmasked?"
55831You give up the hunt?
55831You have expectations?
55831You have to save someone from disgrace before you can marry the girl you love?
55831You intend to go, then, in spite of Dimsdale''s behaviour?
55831You intended to get my money?
55831You may hand over a false will?
55831You see, do n''t you, how this information places Maunders, young beast, in your power?
55831You silly man; do n''t you read the papers? 55831 You speak of her as Lady Corsoon?"
55831You think he took the house himself: applied to the landlord, that is?
55831You think so?
55831You think that I am right?
55831You will be poor no longer?
55831You will fight, then?
55831You wish to consult those who dwell in darkness about the future?
55831You wish to have your fortune told?
55831You wo n''t fire any more pistols? 55831 You?
55831Your husband?
55831Your secret?
55831A family quarrel between my father and Sir Edward, you understand?
55831All your philanthropy was a fraud?"
55831Am I an ass, an idiot, a babbler?
55831Am I not right, Frances?"
55831Am I not right?"
55831Am I right?"
55831Am I right?"
55831And Miss Corsoon?"
55831And on what date?"
55831And the second thing?"
55831And to- morrow I suppose you will get Lady Corsoon to take charge of Ida?"
55831And why should he be lurking about the Bolly Dam?
55831And why, sir, should they not return?"
55831And you, sir?"
55831And your business, gentlemen?"
55831Answer me, sir; answer me?"
55831Any more questions?"
55831Are you going to marry Miss Corsoon or Miss Dimsdale?"
55831Are you sure, Miss Hest, that no strangers were at the ball?"
55831Are you wise in doing this?"
55831At what time is Mr. Dimsdale supposed to have been strangled?"
55831Bedge?"
55831Bedge?"
55831Bedge?"
55831But I thought he was supposed to be at Gerby Hall?"
55831But Miss Hest showed the cloven foot by trying to get Ida married to Maunders, and----""Why to Maunders?"
55831But do you think you are wise forbidding Maunders to come to this masked ball?"
55831But how did you get your informant to talk, and how did you find any person in authority to explain matters?"
55831But how did your friend Maunders find out what you kept secret?"
55831But how does this paper prove that your brother is The Spider?"
55831But how the dickens are we to find a telegraph office in this fog?"
55831But if Miss Jewin escaped why did n''t Miss Hest?"
55831But if not Maunders, who could it be?
55831But she is no relation, since Dimsdale did not leave a will and----""How do you know that Dimsdale left no will?"
55831But the poor young lady----""Is she here?"
55831But what did Miss Hest write about?"
55831But why did you ask me to meet you in Towton''s rooms, and where is Towton?"
55831But why has he made over his property to me without a line of explanation save that he was going abroad?
55831But, by the way, how is Miss Dimsdale?
55831By the way, Colonel, what was your wife''s real opinion of Miss Hest?
55831By the way, Vernon, have you heard if the police have stumbled on the track of that rogue?"
55831By the way, are you going to the ball to- night?"
55831By the way, did n''t you tell me that Dimsdale was being blackmailed by that confounded Spider?"
55831By the way, have you met Maunders?"
55831By the way, what did this fellow mean by hinting in his confounded fortune- telling at disgrace to someone closely connected with Miss Corsoon?
55831Can he-- Mr. Maunders, I mean-- really place me in possession of Martin''s money?"
55831Can you wonder at it, seeing what I discovered yesterday?"
55831Can you?"
55831Come, is it a bargain?"
55831Could it be possible that Maunders was one of the gang?
55831Could you not see her and suggest that she should sell or let,''Rangoon''and come here to live with me as her paid companion?
55831Diabella stopped for one moment, then spoke out triumphantly,"It was called Goorkah Station, and was besieged by the Dacoits?"
55831Did Maunders show fight?"
55831Did a Hindoo attempt to kill you?"
55831Did he tell you?"
55831Did n''t you see his face change when Maunders spoke, and did n''t he cut and run when he saw that the game was up?"
55831Dimsdale?"
55831Dimsdale?"
55831Dimsdale?"
55831Do n''t I tell you so?"
55831Do n''t you like Maunders?"
55831Do n''t you remember how her body and that of Maunders clutching one another in a death- grip were found when the flood subsided?
55831Do n''t you see that Ida is on the verge of fainting?"
55831Do you believe that I have a chance, Vernon?"
55831Do you know him?"
55831Do you know of a blackmailer called The Spider?"
55831Do you remember how Lucy fainted when you appeared coming across the moorland with Ida hanging half dead on your arm?
55831Do you think that her health is suffering from that?"
55831Does he mean her mother or her father?"
55831Does he say?"
55831Eh, what?
55831Eh, what?
55831Eh, what?
55831Eh, what?
55831Eh, what?
55831Eh, what?
55831Eh, what?
55831Eh, what?
55831Even if posted in Bowderstyke last evening it could not reach him before to- night, and you say he gave you the information this afternoon?"
55831Frances enthusiastic over anything of that sort?
55831Have you heard anything more about The Spider?"
55831Have you learned who she is?"
55831Have you noted, Mr. Maunders, how rapidly these autumnal fogs descend on London?"
55831Have you seen her?"
55831Have you seen young Maunders lately?"
55831Have you the letter?"
55831Having got you out of the way----""You mean that you got Vernon out of the way?"
55831He was ignorant of my plans?"
55831He wondered if she would make an outcry and would summon her attendants, and if so, would the sullen- looking wrestler attempt to choke him?
55831Hest?"
55831Hokar----""Is that the native''s name?"
55831How can I, his sister, bear to hear that?"
55831How could that be when Francis did n''t exist?"
55831How did you come here?"
55831How do you explain this interest which The Spider takes in you, Maunders, if you do n''t know him?"
55831How do you know?"
55831How else should I know?"
55831However, as Miss Dimsdale has inherited as next- of- kin it does n''t matter; failing her, the money, I presume, would have gone to Lady Corsoon?"
55831I do not hope to inherit the money, and what is a title without money?
55831I suppose I ought to congratulate you?"
55831I suppose Lady Corsoon showed you the second letter as well as the first in your character of Nemo?"
55831I suppose Mr. Vernon told you of the letter I received?
55831I suppose the will was proved and she is in possession of her money?"
55831I suppose you know that Miss Jewin was caught?"
55831I thought you did n''t like her?"
55831I wonder how Aunt Emily found out about Ida''s change towards me?
55831Ida, will you go to The Grange and stay with your aunt?"
55831Ida?"
55831If I get this money I am to consent to the marriage of Lucy with-- with----""With whom?"
55831In what way?"
55831Inspector,"added Miss Hest, raising her voice,"you wo n''t want me any longer?
55831Inspector?"
55831Is Hokar at his post?"
55831Is he blackmailing her?"
55831Is it a bargain?"
55831Is it to be peace or war between us?"
55831Is it true or a lie?"
55831Is n''t Gretna Green somewhere about these parts?
55831Is n''t it foolish?
55831Is the door closed?"
55831Is there any reason why I should believe in you?"
55831It was scandalous, was it not?
55831Maunders?"
55831May I add, on my part, that you are in love with Miss Corsoon, and that the same gentleman is your rival?"
55831May I speak out?"
55831Miss Hest, what have you been doing with her?"
55831Mr. Vernon and myself have run you to earth, and----""How did you find out that I was here?"
55831My rival''s aunt, I believe?"
55831Now do you understand?
55831Now that Miss Dimsdale-- no, not that-- what is your name, may I ask?"
55831Of course, you know that your marriage with Lucy depends upon your getting me out of this unpleasant position?"
55831Oh, yes, I believe, and-- but what''s the use of talking?
55831Only because she cried so much did I dare to send that telegram to you, and----""What the devil does it all mean?"
55831Perhaps you know her?"
55831Perhaps you would rather drive?"
55831See here, Conny----""Conny?"
55831She did n''t ask you to her ball, did she?
55831She gave no explanation?"
55831She spoke of Colonel Towton, did she?"
55831Since Maunders paid his debts and lived like a millionaire in embryo, how did he manage to fill his purse?
55831Something is wrong?
55831Strange, is it not, since my niece Ida is Martin''s daughter?"
55831Surely you must be mistaken?
55831Tell me,"Vernon turned towards the Professor while Towton held his peace and nursed his hat,"what do you know of Maunders?"
55831The day after to- morrow?
55831The first name is familiar, surely?"
55831Then I met Hest at the bazaar yesterday----""Does he know that you are Diabella?"
55831Towton rose in his surprise;"How dare you say that?"
55831Understand?
55831Understand?
55831Vernon?"
55831Vernon?"
55831Vernon?"
55831We do n''t get on well together at all; rather odd, is n''t it, considering we are twins?"
55831Well, Miss Hest?"
55831Well, and what are you going to do now?"
55831Well, do you consent?"
55831Well, what does it matter?"
55831Well,"he stood up straight and slim,"I shall come here on the night of the ball-- by the way, when does it take place?"
55831Well?"
55831Were n''t we married in great style on the same day, and did n''t you go to Italy and Greece for a honeymoon while Ida and I returned to The Grange?"
55831Were they recovered?
55831What are your plans, Colonel?"
55831What business?"
55831What did he say?"
55831What did she say?"
55831What did she tell Miss Dimsdale?"
55831What do you know of him?"
55831What do you make of both?"
55831What do you make of him?"
55831What do you mean?"
55831What do you propose to do?"
55831What does Mrs. Bedge propose to do?"
55831What does my aunt know about it?"
55831What else?"
55831What is it?
55831What is it?"
55831What news of your search?"
55831What of that?"
55831What the deuce took you out of town so unexpectedly?
55831What would bazaars be without fortune- telling?
55831What''s to be done now?"
55831What''s to be done?"
55831What, have you forgotten the past already?"
55831When they were alone the Colonel asked a question:"Can you get this engagement for Miss Hest?"
55831When was it that we last met?"
55831Where are you going, Colonel?"
55831Where do you get the money?"
55831Where is he to be found?"
55831Where is he to be found?"
55831Where is it?"
55831Where was I educated?"
55831Which of these girls does he love, in your opinion?"
55831Whisky all right; cigar drawing well?
55831Who had them?"
55831Who is it?"
55831Who is she?"
55831Who is this?"
55831Who knows what assassinations he may not have to answer for privately?
55831Who told you about Dimsdale?"
55831Who?"
55831Why did I retire from the army?"
55831Why did you tell me?"
55831Why do I wish to marry Ida Dimsdale?"
55831Why do you ask?
55831Why do you ask?"
55831Why do you cultivate his society?
55831Why have n''t you been to see me lately, Arthur?"
55831Why not stick to Miss Dimsdale?"
55831Why should I deny it?"
55831Why should he do that?"
55831Why should she?"
55831Why the deuce does he play the lover with two women at once?
55831Why?"
55831Why?"
55831Wil you have any refreshment, gentlemen?"
55831Would I have done such a thing as that?
55831Would you have me leave you when I see you so sad?
55831You do n''t wish to get me scolded?"
55831You know my name?"
55831You know this secret, so the inference is that you----""That I ordered him to be strangled?"
55831You know, of course, that Maunders has gone down to your place?"
55831You think he heads a gang?"
55831You want me to deal with this?"
55831You would not dare to bring him into this matter?"
55831_ Now_ can you see?"
55831asked Vernon hastily;"Why has he made over his property to you?
55831asked the other smiling;"and is he here?"
55831is there a will?"
55831said Maunders, whining sentimentally,"or as Nemo, the detective?"
55831said Vernon idly,"why are they homeless?"
55831she inquired with scorn;"The word of a man whom you admit to be a scoundrel?"
55831so she desires the services of my talented pupil?
55831what?"
60604A crib?
60604Ah, my kind boy, but where shall that somewhere be?
60604Ai n''t they prime, Jimmy?
60604And do you propose that he shall board here entirely, or return to you every Saturday, as most of the lads do?
60604And how are you, young gentleman?
60604And if we do n''t obey, you will run sneaking to the Head?
60604And then this other boy----"Charlton, do you mean, sir?
60604And then?
60604And what has that to do with you, if you please?
60604And what is it? 60604 And will you do it?"
60604And will you go there?
60604And you have no idea who this was? 60604 And you think that I have stolen your banknote, sir?"
60604And you, too, missie?
60604Any one try any games with you in the night?
60604Anywhere in particular?
60604Are you sure that he did put it into his pocket, and not either replace it in the coat from which he took it, or leave it lying on the bed?
60604But how did you do it? 60604 But suppose it is right?"
60604But unless I can find the man, how can I know the truth?
60604But what did you do with the one I gave you?
60604But what do you want me for?
60604But what do you want to do with it for a day or two?
60604But what now? 60604 But where can my father have got to?"
60604But where can we go?
60604But where can you go? 60604 But you would not have me let the man go free, sir?"
60604But,some of my readers may ask,"did Ralph Rexworth win the Newlet?"
60604But-- why? 60604 Butterflies in chalk?"
60604Can not you guess, sir? 60604 Come to pay a visit to old Simon-- eh?"
60604Did n''t I tell you to come and meet me the other side of the playground?
60604Did you do it?
60604Do you deny this story, Elgert?
60604Do you know what these are?
60604Do you? 60604 Do?"
60604Eh?
60604Elgert, what have you to say to this?
60604Elgert, what have you to say? 60604 Glad the week is over, Ralph?"
60604Go in? 60604 Good advice; only, why do n''t you do the rushing first?"
60604Has Elgert said anything more to you?
60604Have a room, sir?
60604Have we got to be chums?
60604Have you not such a thing as a five- pound note?
60604Horace Elgert, did you ever see this before?
60604How am I to get to this place, boys?
60604How can I do that?
60604How dare you lock that door?
60604How did you come to do it? 60604 How did you get on, Rexworth?
60604How did you get the money?
60604How do you know that?
60604How do you know, Ralph?
60604How do you use them?
60604How playing with us?
60604How should he, after all those years? 60604 I had it given-- I mean that I---- Why do you ask that?"
60604I know; but if he challenges you, what then?
60604I say, you fellows,said Elgert,"how much longer are we going to be dictated to by Tom Warren?
60604I say,said Brown to the man,"if you are not in a hurry, I wish that you would run over to the inn and ask them to change me this five- pound note?
60604I suppose you are quite sure that you brought it away from school with you, Ralph?
60604I wonder what he wants here?
60604I wonder,mused Elgert,"what became of that fellow Charlton?"
60604If I have done wrong, what about you? 60604 Indian clubs,"repeated Ralph,"and what are they?
60604Is it the custom to call a man guilty before even the whole evidence is heard? 60604 My dear lad, what makes you say that?"
60604Now, suppose that we ask you one? 60604 Now, where has that silly chap got to?"
60604Now, you Fifths, does your man want to fight?
60604Oh, I say, you chaps, is not this a rich joke? 60604 Oh, and what has happened to change things?"
60604Oh, is this the young man who noosed him? 60604 Perhaps it tumbled from your pocket when you threw your coat off down by the river?"
60604Quite right; and who was the very last one that we know anything about, eh?
60604Ralph, old fellow, why, whatever is it? 60604 Ringing bells?"
60604S''pose we sent''em a what- you- call- it letter?
60604Set what going?
60604So that we may suppose that any one crossing here would be going to Great Stow?
60604So this is the missing man?
60604So you would turn sneak, would you? 60604 Speaking of my old home brought it back----""Your father?"
60604Suppose you speak?
60604Surely you will not refuse to give that to us?
60604The second man was not dead?
60604They have no business to, of course?
60604Well then, why are you cutting me like this? 60604 Well, Rexworth, and how do you feel to- day?"
60604Well, if I did, what is it to do with you? 60604 Well, what of that?
60604Well, why did n''t you give him a hiding? 60604 Well,"asked Warren,"how would you use it?
60604Well,he said, altering his tone,"what do you want for it?
60604Well,he said,"what do you want?
60604What about him, sir-- has he owned that his story is false?
60604What are we going to do about this, Jimmy?
60604What are you going to do?
60604What chance will you have with them with your arm hurt? 60604 What danger can there be?"
60604What did you tell me about it for, then? 60604 What do I care for that?
60604What do you mean by that?
60604What do you mean by that?
60604What do you mean?
60604What does this mean? 60604 What else can you expect?
60604What is that?
60604What is that?
60604What is the good? 60604 What is this?
60604What more can we learn, Ralph?
60604What shall we do now?
60604What shall we do?
60604What trouble has he got into now? 60604 What''s the good?
60604What-- what can we d- d- do?
60604Whatever are you talking about, young man?
60604Whatever does the Head favour that fellow for?
60604When?
60604Where are we going?
60604Where are you going to, Rexworth?
60604Where are you going, Ralph?
60604Where else besides Great Stow does it lead to, sir?
60604Where shall we go?
60604Where to, Warren?
60604Where? 60604 Where?"
60604Wherever can we shelter?
60604Which hollow? 60604 Who did that?"
60604Who does this trap belong to?
60604Who is there who would want to harm me, sir?
60604Who-- oh, who?
60604Who?
60604Whom did you give it to?
60604Why, what is the matter?
60604Why?
60604Will I what?
60604Will a duck like to swim when it gets enough water to paddle its little tootsies in?
60604Will you come over?
60604Will you? 60604 Yes, sir?"
60604Yes?
60604You can think of no one? 60604 You do n''t mean to say that I and Dobson were there taking those papers, do you, sir?"
60604You do n''t think that I stole it?
60604You do n''t think that the man is hiding there, do you?
60604You do not know where he was going, or whether he knew any one in the locality?
60604You know the yarn he told about his father disappearing? 60604 You mean that we have got to fight?"
60604You remember, last evening, knocking a banknote from my desk, and picking it up for me?
60604You say that to insult me?
60604You say you were under the impression that you took your pocket- book home with you, Rexworth?
60604You sent for me, sir?
60604You still adhere to your statement, Elgert?
60604You think that you lost your pocket- book then?
60604You will try your very best, wo n''t you, Ralph?
60604You, Dobson, what do you know of this?
60604***** What was that noise?
60604A man had been with his chum, but who was that man?
60604Alas, what good would that do?
60604And Elgert went on--"Well, what did he say?"
60604And Mr. St. Clive asked,"And not Charlton?"
60604And Ralph answered--"Share it?
60604And Ralph cried, almost fiercely--"Can you ask me that, sir?
60604And Ralph inquired innocently--"Ringing bells, do you mean?"
60604And besides, would n''t it be telling that we had broken bounds?
60604And how came it that Dobson had possessed one to change at all?
60604And if he had those good grounds, what then?
60604And now, now, where-- oh, where-- was that father?
60604And the latter, crouching there, whispered--"Where has she gone?
60604And the man looked him in the face, and replied, with a quiet smile--"Do?
60604And then a voice said--"Why, Rexworth, what are you doing here?
60604And what are we to do then?
60604And what could he do?
60604And what could he say?
60604And what did that glimpse of the boy, in the custody of Kesterway, the head monitor, mean?
60604And what of Elgert and Dobson?
60604And what was it that he had found?
60604And, Simon, I suppose that you did not recognize Mr. Rexworth at all?"
60604And, my man, do you see that scar on the back of your hand?
60604Any one frightened me?
60604Are you here?"
60604Are you satisfied that it is?"
60604Awake?
60604Back to the pool they went, and here Ralph paused; and Mr. St. Clive, looking at him inquiringly, said--"Well, what now, my boy?
60604But Lord Elgert?
60604But how can we do it?"
60604But suppose that it was a thief?
60604But suppose they treat us as they have treated Charlton, and say they did not go there?
60604But what ails you, young sir?"
60604But what was that?
60604But what would that help mean to poor Mr. Charlton-- what but being taken prisoner again?
60604But when he opened his eyes, where was he?
60604But when they saw Mr. St. Clive and all the others in that little cottage, they stopped, and Charlton faltered out--"What is it?
60604But where is his daddy?
60604But why was Charlton''s bed empty?
60604But why?
60604But you do n''t suppose that I would be a party to a thing of that kind, do you?
60604But-- he stopped suddenly-- what did this mean?
60604By the way, I wonder how Elgert will like it if he knows that it was I drove off in that trap?"
60604By the way, it is breaking stones that they put convicts to, is it not?"
60604CHAPTER VII HORACE ELGERT GOES A LITTLE TOO FAR"What''s the matter, Rexworth?"
60604CHAPTER XXII AN AFTERNOON RAMBLE"I say, you two chaps, what are you going to do this afternoon?"
60604CHAPTER XXV JUST IN TIME"What shall we do next, Elgert?"
60604Ca n''t you clear away the leaves a bit, and then I can see whether it is a man or not?"
60604Can you give a description of your father, my boy?"
60604Can you see anything?"
60604Can you think that I shall mind such a trifle as that, when you are so good, and ready to take the risk of helping me?
60604Charlton, I say, where are you?"
60604Could Lord Elgert be the one who had harmed his father?
60604Could it have been Charlton?"
60604Could you manage it?
60604Did he, though?
60604Did n''t he pull you out of the river?"
60604Did not recognize either voice or figure?"
60604Did not you hear Mr. Delermain say that we were to share it?"
60604Did that mean that Lord Elgert himself had been; or had he lent his trap to the police again, and had they managed to run their victim down?
60604Did this boy attempt to play any tricks on you?"
60604Did you ever catch me telling a lie?"
60604Did you not hear it?
60604Did you take that five- pound note?"
60604Do n''t you know that it can be traced by its number?
60604Do n''t you understand, Warren?
60604Do you deny these statements?"
60604Do you hear that?"
60604Do you know any one in the neighbourhood who drives about in a light trap, and who has a horse lame in its left foreleg?"
60604Do you know what housebreaking is?
60604Do you mean that I am a thief?
60604Do you really mean to be my chum, Rexworth?"
60604Do you remember how it says in the Bible:''There is a banner given to thee, that it may be displayed because of righteousness''?
60604Do you think that I stole it?
60604Do you understand?"
60604Dobson nodded, and hastily dragging off his clothes, he sat on the edge of his bed, and called aloud:"Who is there?"
60604Does he know anything about my father?"
60604Does that look like innocence?"
60604First, sir, is this a direct road to anywhere?
60604For a moment they were staggered by his answer; then Warren said gently--"But, Ralph, how can it be your father?
60604Had Charlton taken the note and placed it in his pocket- book?
60604Had he met with any accident?
60604Had it got your name inside?"
60604Had not Ralph proved what a staunch good fellow he could be?
60604Had the fire broken the windows?
60604Had the hiding- place been discovered, and his chum''s unfortunate parent again been taken prisoner?
60604Has any one frightened you?"
60604Have not I found the money?
60604Have these boys been in the river?
60604Have you any luggage, save these two handbags?"
60604Have you learnt anything?"
60604Have you seen Brown again?"
60604Have you seen any one out here-- any one that seemed as if they were trying to hide?
60604Have you seen any suspicious character about?"
60604Have you seen anything of Rexworth?"
60604He first called my father a thief; and he-- he-- you know what he said about your silver?"
60604He is a rich man, and one of our justices----""Where does he live, sir?"
60604He may have found his business take longer than he anticipated, and-- well, Simon?"
60604How are we to prove it?
60604How can he, Ralph?"
60604How can they possibly find out to whom it belongs unless they open it?
60604How can you prove that?"
60604How dark it is getting, and was not that thunder?"
60604How did you come?"
60604How did you know that we should be here?"
60604How did you manage it?"
60604How many questions did you get through?"
60604How will they know who Ralph Rexworth is, or where he lives?
60604How?"
60604I help you?"
60604I mean, is it a general thoroughfare?"
60604I say, you chaps, are you going to let him crow over you like this?
60604I suppose that it was not your own father, come to see you, eh?"
60604I suppose that you wrote your name on the back?"
60604I suppose you are trying to make money?"
60604I tell you, Elgert, that I believe he is playing with us----""What do you mean?"
60604I wonder if ever you will hear anything about your father?"
60604I wonder who that man was?"
60604If he was wronging him, then where had Charlton managed to get that money from?
60604If only I knew where he was, do you think that I would hesitate to tell?
60604If that note was gone, what might not the consequences be for both of them?
60604If those two juniors had picked up his book, had they picked up anything else?
60604In face of such a solemn command, are you still sure that Charlton''s story is false?"
60604Is he shielding that boy Charlton?
60604Is it you, Charlton?"
60604Is n''t he in?
60604Is that so?"
60604Is that the way in which you are going to try and get out of it?
60604Is this done in spite, because of what I said to you on Friday?"
60604Is this note yours, Rexworth?"
60604It is done, and it ca n''t be undone, so what is the good of talking of it?"
60604It''s no interest of mine, is it?"
60604Just as he spoke his eyes caught sight of Charlton, standing looking so white and scared, and the thought came: Had he done this?
60604Know of no lad you saw in that part of the house?"
60604Let me see, Dobson asked who was the last gardener, did n''t he?"
60604Look, you can surely see where he lay?
60604May not Charlton''s mother lead us to Charlton''s father?
60604Mistaken identity is a common occurrence, and----""You do not believe his story, sir?
60604My place was broken into----""Did any one but yourself see this man?"
60604Nonsense, Simon?"
60604Not the man?"
60604Now whom can that be?
60604Now you, sir, what have you to say?
60604Of course, you will part with it?"
60604Oh, think I do n''t notice it?
60604Oh, was there no help, no succour?
60604Oh, what ever shall we do?"
60604Oh, what is it, father?"
60604Or, better still, would he ever be proved to be innocent?
60604Ralph regarded him gravely for a little while, and then he said--"And suppose that I still think that you took it, Charlton?
60604Ralph, will you promise me this?"
60604Say I give you six pounds for it, and chance making any more myself?"
60604She is sure to know where he is, and do you know that since that affair she has been going to the St. Clives''a lot----""How do you know?"
60604Slept well?"
60604So this is our study, is it?"
60604Some of them actually hissed at me-- and why?
60604Something has happened in Stow Wood?"
60604Suppose that he could even be certain that Charlton was the culprit, what then?
60604Suppose they denied it, how could we prove it?
60604Surely that was a ladder propped against the wall?
60604That looks strange, do n''t it?
60604The one to the right?"
60604The police- station, is it?"
60604The ruin, of course----""What ruin?
60604The thing is what can we do?
60604Then he came back alone----""But the second man?"
60604Then his pale face went crimson, and he burst out indignantly--"What do you mean?
60604Then we just take our set of papers back and put them with the others, and we destroy his, and who is to know a thing about it?"
60604Then you will stay?
60604Then, as he saw the bull still noosed, and now in the hands of several men, he went on--"But who did that?
60604There was a five- pound note stolen at your school----""What do you know about that?"
60604They surely have n''t put you to chum with Charlton, have they?
60604Think we can get out of Brown who changed that note?"
60604Through that undergrowth?"
60604Was he the one who had broken into the school the previous night?
60604Was it a holiday, or a challenge from some neighbouring school to a football match?
60604Was it fancy, or did Ralph notice that handsome face turn a shade paler when mention was made of the bullet cut from the tree?
60604Was it one of the boys who had been up to mischief, or, it seemed absurd, was some thief breaking in?
60604Was it very stiff?
60604We do n''t want his mother, do we?
60604We might do that; and write on it,''Who stole the five- pound note?''
60604Well, now we are here, what next?"
60604Well, well; Irene and Ralph were but young; perhaps, later on, it would not be brother, perhaps-- who can say?
60604What could have happened to Ralph Rexworth?
60604What could have happened to his father?
60604What could he do against those fierce brutes?
60604What could it mean?
60604What danger is there, if we are only careful not to make a noise?
60604What did this mean?
60604What do you mean by it?"
60604What do you mean?
60604What do you say?"
60604What good would that do to you, or to Charlton?"
60604What had happened?
60604What has come to you?"
60604What have you been doing with Charlton?"
60604What is to be done?
60604What is your name, my dear young gentleman?"
60604What money have you of your own?"
60604What right had the Head to suspect him of telling lies, or to doubt his honour?
60604What shall we do, Kate?"
60604What shall we do?"
60604What sort of a fellow could he be if he did n''t know what dumb- bells were?
60604What was it that should wring a cry of grief from Ralph Rexworth?
60604What wonder that terror claimed him for the moment?
60604What wonder, then, that a boy who loved his parents as Ralph Rexworth had done should grieve, and grieve greatly, over such a loss?
60604Whatever have you done to upset him in that way?"
60604Whatever mischief had Fred Charlton been up to?
60604When can you let me know about it?"
60604Where can Mr. Charlton go so that he can hide in safety for the time?"
60604Where can you hide for the time?
60604Where could poor Mr. Charlton go?
60604Where did you get the money from?
60604Where do you keep it?"
60604Where else was there for him to hide?
60604Where had Dobson gone?
60604Where has he gone to?
60604Where have you been, and how did you get into that state?"
60604Where is Charlton?"
60604Where shall we go?
60604Where?"
60604Which direction did it come from?
60604Which direction had the cry come from?
60604Which will most likely speak the truth-- the son of a man wanted by the police, or the son of a nobleman like my father?"
60604Who could be with me?
60604Who do you think that you are?
60604Who stopped the bull in that way?"
60604Who was the first gardener?"
60604Who was there to see him?
60604Who would have said a house like that was here; and who can say what other house may be here?
60604Who would have thought of finding a house here?"
60604Who would not flinch then in such an awful position?
60604Who?"
60604Who?"
60604Why could he not move?
60604Why did Elgert want that note?
60604Why do n''t you clear off, like the rest have done?"
60604Why had Mr. Rexworth entered this place, whither was he going, and who was the man who had come after him?
60604Why had they invented that lie about the note being bad; and why were they willing to give a pound extra to get it into their hands again?
60604Why have I got to like it, pray?"
60604Why have you disturbed the whole household in this disgraceful manner?"
60604Why should he come like a thief at night?
60604Why should you mind that?
60604Why should you?
60604Will you both meet me after you have had lunch-- say about one o''clock-- and we will go for a ramble?"
60604Will you dare it?"
60604Will you go, Fred?"
60604Will you promise me to try and remember this?"
60604Will you stop until they have gone?"
60604Will you take me to the place?
60604Wo n''t you come?"
60604Wo n''t you get up and shake hands with me?"
60604Wo n''t you shake hands?"
60604Would Ralph get the medal?
60604Would his father ever get safely away?
60604You are quite sure that your father told you nothing, however unimportant it may seem, which might give us an inkling of where he was going?"
60604You have no suspicion, Ralph?"
60604You have not seen him?"
60604You have nothing in it that you are afraid for people to see?"
60604You heard what he said?
60604You know that neither I nor Mr. Delermain would willingly say anything to hurt your feelings-- I am sure that you realize that?"
60604You say that you are sure he was with some man, and that he denied it?"
60604You want this lad to stay here?"
60604You will meet him where he said?"
60604You will not mind that?"
60604got a new gardener here?"
60604or''What price Brown''s cake shop?''
60604retorted Elgert; and Dobson burst out furiously--"Oh, have I?
60604what could one stripling like he do against two such men?
60604what is the row?"
60604you want an introduction?
55961A letter? 55961 A sovereign from Joe Brill?"
55961About the hundred pounds?
55961About what time was that?
55961Ai n''t he there quite comfortable?
55961Alan, are you mad?
55961Alan,said Sophy, much relieved,"how is it they did not know at Heathton Station that you were here?"
55961All very well,said Slack the schoolmaster;"but if he took away Mr. Marlow''s body, how did he put Dr. Warrender''s in its place?
55961And Mrs. Warrender-- shall I tell Blair about her?
55961And Warrender, what about his death?
55961And bases his lie upon some gossip of my having been a medical student, I suppose?
55961And did I murder Warrender, too?
55961And had you not done me harm enough, wretched man, without hunting me down?
55961And he went to Brighton?
55961And how did it come about?
55961And how did you come to lend him money?
55961And is she coming back?
55961And made yourself scarce?
55961And the Quiet Gentleman?
55961And the murder of Dr. Warrender? 55961 And the murder, Alan?"
55961And the police?
55961And what about Beauchamp?
55961And what can the law do to me?
55961And what has Jarks to do with this preposterous story?
55961And what were you doing out of bed at that hour?
55961And when do criminals do other than foolish things?
55961And where did he get them? 55961 And who murdered him?"
55961And who says so? 55961 And will that girl stand by and see her father''s memory disgraced?"
55961And will you escape me, do you think?
55961And you found nothing wrong?
55961And you, Alan?
55961And you-- what will you do?
55961And-- and-- what does she say?
55961Answer my question first: Are you rich?
55961Are you certain that the Quiet Gentleman killed Warrender?
55961Are you in training for a ballet- dancer?
55961Are you not going to make any more search for the body, Alan?
55961Are you rich?
55961Are you so sure he is dead?
55961Are you so sure he is dead?
55961Are you speaking of my father?
55961Are you sure you did not know of it last night?
55961At what?
55961Beauchamp was innocent of the murder, then?
55961Bless me, why should she? 55961 Brown?
55961But I arsk again, sir, is he good pay?
55961But how did his body get into the vault?
55961But how do you account for the income left to Herbert Beauchamp?
55961But if I tell my story to the world?
55961But if Joe declares that Lestrange is Sophy''s father?
55961But if Lestrange goes to the police?
55961But if this story should really be true?
55961But suppose I fail to find the body, Sophy?
55961But tell me, how was it that the manager of the Occidental Bank reported you dead?
55961But the murder, Beauchamp?
55961But the names?
55961But the same Christian name, Mr. Phelps? 55961 But was that altogether his fault, Beauchamp?
55961But what about me?
55961But why on earth did n''t she telegraph to you?
55961But will he return?
55961But, father, what will you do?--where will you live?
55961By the way,said Thorold,"is Mr. Marlow coming back here?"
55961By whom-- Warrender?
55961Ca n''t you understand?
55961Can I see them?
55961Can I take them?
55961Can the doctor have helped Brown to do it?
55961Can you do that without a warrant?
55961Captain Lestrange?
55961Cicero Gramp? 55961 Cicero Gramp?"
55961Cicero ai n''t wanted, is he?
55961Crank? 55961 Did Brown send for him?"
55961Did I not know him as I know myself? 55961 Did Joe know the Quiet Gentleman?"
55961Did Marlow ever mention Jamaica?
55961Did Warrender recognize him?
55961Did he leave any papers?
55961Did he recognize you?
55961Did he show it to Miss Sophy?
55961Did he? 55961 Did n''t I see him dead in his coffin?"
55961Did n''t you know? 55961 Did the way Achille treated Zelia give Beauchamp any right to murder him?"
55961Did you expect, then, that there would be some foul play?
55961Did you find him? 55961 Did you know the Quiet Gentleman, Joe?"
55961Did you mention it to any one?
55961Did you observe this before, sir?
55961Did you see the police?
55961Do I think it, sir? 55961 Do n''t you know me, Alan?"
55961Do n''t you know, sir?
55961Do you believe this man''s tale for one moment? 55961 Do you believe this murder was committed on the sacred soil of the churchyard, in God''s own acre, Alan?
55961Do you come from him?
55961Do you intend to accuse me of my husband''s murder?
55961Do you know a tramp named Cicero Gramp?
55961Do you know that Mr. Marlow is dead?
55961Do you know that my father is dead?
55961Do you know the will? 55961 Do you know what was in the letter?"
55961Do you mean my real father?
55961Do you mean that he is alive?
55961Do you mean to infer that Beauchamp was wild?
55961Do you think I am a Judas, to kiss that innocent girl if I knew myself to be her father''s murderer? 55961 Do you think he is guilty?
55961Do you think that Barkham''s letter caused Mr. Marlow''s death?
55961Do you think that Gramp can point out the guilty person?
55961Do you think this man Gramp has anything to do with the murder, and with the removing of poor father''s body?
55961Do you think this story is true?
55961Do you think, if my darling had lived, I should now be a wretched old maid? 55961 Does Marlow know who killed him?"
55961Does any one know?
55961Does he receive any letters?
55961Does she know that I am here? 55961 Employ you?
55961From you, Alan?
55961God bless me-- that is, God forgive me, Alan, are you mad too?
55961Good- evening, Mr. Thorold,he said, with a wary glance;"to what am I indebted for this visit?"
55961Guilty conscience, Alan? 55961 Had he a loud voice, Simmonds?"
55961Had he seen this Mr. Beauchamp, to whom the money was to be paid?
55961Had my father any enemies that you know of, Joe?
55961Have I your permission to sit down?
55961Have some refreshment, then?
55961Have you any idea who carried off the body, Joe?
55961Have you found out the truth?
55961Have you the key of the Marlow vault in your possession?
55961He hinted that you were in love with her, I suppose?
55961He said so?
55961Her jewels?
55961Hold your tongue, and tell me how much longer do you intend to disgrace me here?
55961How about getting away, Marlow?
55961How are you going to live?
55961How can I tell you, if I am to hold my tongue?
55961How can that be? 55961 How can you be sure?"
55961How can you enjoy cutting up people? 55961 How can you prove that?"
55961How could an old man helpless through gout in the feet carry off a dead body? 55961 How could he have known that you were coming?"
55961How do you know Dr. Warrender was out?
55961How do you know my name?
55961How do you know that, miss?
55961How do you know that?
55961How do you know what my errand is?
55961How long ago was this?
55961How long was Mr. Thorold with you?
55961How much do you want?
55961How much?
55961How the devil did it get there from the hut?
55961How went the business?
55961I dare say not,returned Sophy doggedly;"but if the man had nothing to do with it, why should he disappear?
55961I suppose the news of the murder had not reached England?
55961I thought you did not fear them?
55961I wonder if they met and went away together?
55961I-- I-- stole the body?
55961If it is not, why should that man have written? 55961 If so, why should Brown have stolen Thorold''s key?"
55961If you are so poor,put in Mrs. Warrender,"where did you get money to buy that writing- paper?
55961If you let him? 55961 In God''s name, what does this roguery mean?"
55961In what way?
55961Inspector Blair-- will that do?
55961Is he at home?
55961Is he lost too?
55961Is it Mr. Gramp you want, m''dimber- cove?
55961Is n''t it dreadful?
55961Is this what human nature is made of? 55961 Jamaica?
55961Joe Brill?
55961Joe, do you mean to say your late master is not Sophy''s father?
55961London? 55961 May I sit down?
55961May I sit down? 55961 Mean?
55961Miss Sophy''ll marry Mr. Thorold, wo n''t she? 55961 Mr. Thorold has gone to Dixon''s Rents, sir?"
55961Murdered your cousin?
55961My behavior?
55961My boy,he said pompously,"who is the Quiet Gentleman?
55961My dear lad, where would they go to?
55961My husband, you wretch!--have you killed him?
55961Not enough to gain you two thousand pounds?
55961Not from the effects of your blow?
55961Not in Jamaica?
55961Oh dear, what is all this?
55961Oh, Alan, my boy, must you?
55961Oh, he sez that, does he, the lubber? 55961 Oh, is he?"
55961Oh, must I?
55961Oh, that is what you think he is after?
55961Oh, you know that?
55961Oh,she said ironically,"then I am not your daughter?"
55961On what evidence?
55961On what grounds do you base this charge?
55961On what grounds?
55961On your word of honor as a gentleman?
55961Perhaps he helped to violate the secrets of the tomb?
55961Reveal the secrets of the dead? 55961 Said he knew my father?"
55961Saw who?
55961Secretly-- why? 55961 Secrets?"
55961See what?
55961Shall I have good luck in this place?
55961Shall you give up the case?
55961Sleep?
55961So you are Cicero Gramp?
55961So you know the truth, then?
55961Sophy, is he to go free, or shall the law take its course?
55961Sophy,said Alan suddenly,"had your father any enemies?"
55961Stole it?
55961Supposing he wo n''t give it?
55961Surely that describes the man we saw reciting?
55961Talking about skeletons, sir,said the footman when Mr. Gramp''s jaws were fully occupied,"what about the master''s?"
55961Tall, yellow beard, bald head?
55961Tell me, Gramp, is this all you know of these crimes?
55961That is her name, is it, Inspector Blair? 55961 The Quiet Gentleman,"said Cicero, bent upon acquiring further information--"tall, yellow- bearded, with a high forehead and a bald head?"
55961The Quiet Gentleman?
55961The Quiet Gentleman?
55961The hut-- what hut?
55961The reward?
55961The sexton?
55961Then I understand, Alan, that you think Marlow is really dead?
55961Then our idea that Lestrange was the Quiet Gentleman is false?
55961Then the murder of-- of Warrender?
55961Then this man is not Sophy''s father?
55961Then was this Mr. Beauchamp really my father or a relative?
55961Then who killed Achille?
55961Then why come here? 55961 Then you admit your guilt?"
55961Then you are on your way to see this man?
55961Then you assert that Marlow was none other than Herbert Beauchamp?
55961Then you ca n''t help us in any way, Joe?
55961Then you think that Mr. Marlow was called Beauchamp in Jamaica?
55961Then you would not object to making some more?
55961Then, am I that man''s daughter?
55961Then, why did he not tell me?
55961To a rich lady or to a poor one?
55961To be caught by Lestrange? 55961 To see what price you could get?"
55961To the Quiet Gentleman?
55961To the seaside? 55961 Told me what?"
55961Upon my soul, this is too much? 55961 Very good; and at Kingston?"
55961Was Brown ill?
55961Was Brown present at the funeral?
55961Was Jean present?
55961Was Lestrange the Quiet Gentleman?
55961Was he the short man Cicero Gramp saw with Warrender?
55961Was it, Clara Maria? 55961 Was n''t the undertaker present?"
55961Was there a crowd round the vault door when it was closed?
55961Was your lodger a Frenchman?
55961Well, Joe, where have you been?
55961Well, Mrs. Marry,said Alan kindly,"what is it?"
55961Well, even granting that such is the case, why should Brown have stolen my key? 55961 Well, what does it matter?"
55961Well,snapped that amiable beast,"what are you waitin''for?"
55961Well?
55961What I want to know, sir, is, where is the swab?
55961What about him?
55961What about his estate?
55961What about the man in Bournemouth?
55961What can he do?
55961What can you do now?
55961What conditions?
55961What confession? 55961 What did he come here for?"
55961What did he give you?
55961What did he know about him?
55961What do you mean by behaving like this? 55961 What do you mean by that?"
55961What do you mean, my dear friend?
55961What do you mean?
55961What do you mean?
55961What do you think of it, sir?
55961What do you think of that, sir?
55961What do you wish to see me about, sir? 55961 What does she mean, sir?"
55961What explanation did he make?
55961What for?
55961What good will that do? 55961 What happened then?"
55961What has that got to do with you?
55961What have you to say for yourself, Lestrange?
55961What if he should be the Quiet Gentleman-- Brown?
55961What is all this about?
55961What is the matter, Blair? 55961 What key?
55961What of that?
55961What proof can you give me of its truth?
55961What sort of business?
55961What the devil''s all this?
55961What took you to Brighton of all places?
55961What troubled you, Alan? 55961 What two people?"
55961What two?
55961What was Mr. Marlow, sir?
55961What''s that?
55961What''s to do now, Blair?
55961What?
55961When am I to get it?
55961When you thrust yourself into the kitchen at the Moat House, I presume?
55961Where did he come from?
55961Where did you get the money?
55961Where did you spend it?
55961Where has he gone?
55961Where is he?
55961Where, may I ask?
55961Where-- what to do?
55961Where?
55961Who are you, in Heaven''s name?
55961Who delivered it?
55961Who did it?
55961Who did?
55961Who is he, Thomas?
55961Who is he?
55961Who is the other man?
55961Who is this fat man he speaks of?
55961Who is this gentleman, Sophy?
55961Who the devil are you?
55961Who the devil are you?
55961Who was he afore he came to take the Moat House five year ago? 55961 Who was he?"
55961Who was she?
55961Who was the patient?
55961Who were they?
55961Who wrote the letter?
55961Whose corpse?
55961Whose orders?
55961Why are you certain?
55961Why couple the two crimes?
55961Why did I say that?
55961Why did Joe keep me and Miss Marlow in the dark?
55961Why did n''t you tell me this, Jarks?
55961Why did you not give information to the police?
55961Why did you not tell Mr. Thorold about this?
55961Why did you not want to consult the police?
55961Why did you?
55961Why do n''t you make certain whether he saw the Quiet Gentleman?
55961Why do you believe so?
55961Why do you call me''monsieur''?
55961Why do you make this strange assertion?
55961Why should he have encumbered himself with the child?
55961Why should he have run away?
55961Why should it be broken into, Alan? 55961 Why should we go there?"
55961Why there of all places?
55961Why, Alan? 55961 Why-- why?
55961Why? 55961 Why?"
55961Will he be with Barkham?
55961Without your fifty pounds?
55961Work with you?
55961Wot d''ye mean, Billy?
55961Wot d''ye want with him?
55961Wot is it?
55961Would he have done that?
55961Yes, I am convinced he is guilty, else why did he steal the key of the vault? 55961 Yes, yes; but who killed Achille?"
55961You are Achille Lestrange?
55961You are French, are you not?
55961You are afraid of the police?
55961You are alive, father?
55961You can not prove this ridiculous charge?
55961You could n''t give me a bed for the night?
55961You did not see him?
55961You do n''t believe me?
55961You do n''t think he was the short man with Dr. Warrender on that night, Alan?
55961You do n''t want me to bring Sophy here?
55961You followed?
55961You have found out something about it?
55961You know that?
55961You let him escape, Mr. Beauchamp-- and when you knew that he killed Achille Lestrange?
55961You mean that Mr. Thorold stole the body for scientific purposes?
55961You mean the theft of the body?
55961You saw no signs of that tramp in the churchyard?
55961You wo n''t work with me?
55961You''ll arrest him?
55961You-- you here, after all?
55961Your proofs?
55961--Cicero did not move a muscle--"she has told you that I can give you information about the body of her husband?"
55961A glass of port?
55961Alan interposed:"Was that the West Indian letter, Joe?"
55961Alan?"
55961All the money goes to her, does n''t it?"
55961Am I the man to violate a grave-- to drag the remains of a man I respected and honored to the light of day?
55961An''he, as the Squire of Heathton,''as a family vault, ai n''t he?
55961And Blair----"Does Blair know of this accusation?"
55961And Joe-- what does Joe know about this-- and my employer?
55961And get locked up on suspicion of murder?
55961And have the whole story in the papers?
55961And how could he have known that it was in my desk?"
55961And how could he without the key of the vault?"
55961And might I suggest,"he added, a trifle testily,"that I am usually addressed as Inspector Blair?"
55961And then, as he checked his horse:"Is the gentleman all right?
55961And what did he do with Marlow''s body?"
55961And what on earth could they want with the body?
55961And where did Joe get the key?
55961And who may you be, sir?"
55961And who was Marlow?"
55961And why mine?
55961And you have been at Southampton all this time?"
55961Any one connected with these mysteries which so perplex us?"
55961Are you sure it is n''t Marie Lestrange?"
55961Are you sure?"
55961Beg pardon, sir, but I suppose you ai n''t found out who killed the doctor?"
55961But Cicero----""Well, and how can he prove I was there?"
55961But about Mrs. Warrender-- you say she has disappeared?"
55961But even if he proves his case, you wo n''t go with him?"
55961But he said nothing, and merely turned to Mr. Phelps with a question:"Who screwed down the coffin?"
55961But her father?
55961But her remark called forth a question from Blair, who had been making a close examination of the room:"How do you know he is dead?"
55961But how did it get there?"
55961But may I ask on what grounds you demand money?"
55961But may I ask, Mr. Thorold, how you know about the shark?"
55961But what could he possibly want the body for?"
55961But what object could he have had in stealing the body?"
55961But what was this mysterious gentleman like?
55961But would you mind giving me something to eat and to drink?
55961But, Alan, why did you bring me here?"
55961By the way, how did he kill Dr. Warrender, and why?"
55961By the way, who are you?"
55961By the way, who was it killed Achille, Blair?
55961Ca n''t you go to- day?"
55961Ca n''t you see, Alan, that Sophy must be married to you under her true name-- Marie Lestrange?"
55961Can I do what I like with it?"
55961Can it be wondered that the jury were puzzled?
55961Can not this matter be adjusted, so that Mr. Thorold may escape the reward of his iniquitous proceedings?"
55961Can you be ready?"
55961Can you blame me?"
55961Can you deny it?"
55961Can you deny the resemblance?
55961Can you describe his looks?"
55961Can you take me to him?"
55961Can your father have feigned death to avoid him?"
55961Come, Sophy, have you no welcome for me?
55961Did he not steal the key of the vault from my desk?
55961Did n''t I tell you the man was a blackmailing scoundrel?
55961Did you know him, sir?"
55961Did you see him?"
55961Did you see him?"
55961Did you tell her?"
55961Do you believe it, Alan?"
55961Do you believe now in his guilt?"
55961Do you expect me to believe you, to rush into your arms without proof?"
55961Do you hear that he says my husband stole Mr. Marlow''s body?"
55961Do you know if the door of the vault has been broken open?"
55961Do you know of that also?"
55961Do you know who he was, Joe?"
55961Do you mean Captain Lestrange?"
55961Do you remember that he gave Cicero a sovereign to leave the Moat House?"
55961Do you think I am sorry for what happened?
55961Do you want to make money too?"
55961Does he intend to blackmail you also, and did you bring your jewels to satisfy his demands?"
55961Does the fact of my having been here corroborate this cock- and- bull story?
55961For what reason does he say that I did it?"
55961Gone where?"
55961Gramp, what do you mean by rushing into the room?"
55961Had Beauchamp been overheard by Mrs. Marry?
55961Had his disguise been penetrated?
55961Had she brought some one to witness the discovery?
55961Has the man who murdered her husband been discovered?"
55961Have you a confession?"
55961Have you forgotten that it was he who stole the key of the vault from my desk?"
55961Have you the jewels with you?"
55961He is in, I suppose?"
55961He lived thirty years with your father, did n''t he?
55961He was very quiet, ate and drank, read books----""What kind of books?"
55961Hope of what, for goodness''sake, Vicky?
55961How can I be happy knowing poor father is n''t at rest?"
55961How can we find out the truth?"
55961How could he have died so suddenly, Alan?"
55961How dare he bring forward such a terrible-- such a dastardly accusation?
55961How did I find Beauchamp again?
55961How did he fulfil his trust?
55961How did he know?"
55961How did this man come to know the name?
55961How did you find out?"
55961How did you manage?"
55961How do you know I got a letter last night?"
55961How much do you require to hold your tongue?"
55961How was it he left a confession behind him?"
55961How was it that the page- boy swore Joe Brill was never out of the room on that night?"
55961I know he, too, has vanished; but what else?"
55961I said so, did n''t I, Mr. Phelps?
55961I suppose Lestrange bribed him?"
55961I suppose it is best she should go?"
55961I suppose you are not staying in town?"
55961I wonder if Marlow went in for trading there?"
55961I wonder if t''other chap was the Quiet Gentleman?
55961If any one----""Mr. Brown went out at nine o''clock?"
55961If he had been, why should his body have been carried off?"
55961If not, how did it come there?
55961If so, had he seen the murder committed and the body taken into the vault?
55961In which way?"
55961Inspector?"
55961Inspector?"
55961Is Cicero generally-- er-- wanted?"
55961Is there-- is there money in it?"
55961Is this the greeting of flesh and blood?"
55961It had an ivory handle, on which were carved two letters,"A. T.""You found this in the hut?"
55961Joe told you about that, did he?"
55961Joe, you say that this man is Jean Lestrange?"
55961Lestrange is at the Good Samaritan?"
55961Marlow?"
55961Marlow?"
55961Marlow?"
55961Mr. Beauchamp, can you give me a check?"
55961Mr. Beauchamp, will you remain here?"
55961Not this one?"
55961Not to Brighton?"
55961Now, do you understand why I want to see his widow?"
55961Of course, you know what has happened at Heathton?"
55961Oh, Alan, is it true?"
55961Oh, dear Vicky, what does it mean?"
55961Phelps,"--Alan forgot his respect for the Rector in his rage--"do you believe this lying story?"
55961Shall I show him in?"
55961She has Sophy''s son and heir to care for, and what more can she want?
55961Short, eh?"
55961Should your innocence be established, you would surely reappear as Richard Marlow?"
55961So Lestrange found out-- from Jarks, I suppose-- that I was at Heathton on the night of the funeral?"
55961So you escaped?"
55961Sophy, what is the matter?"
55961Tell me, do you know who this so- called Quiet Gentleman really is?"
55961The key of the vault----""Not your key, Alan?"
55961Then, observing the looks of surprise directed at him by the other two, he added:"Did n''t you know?
55961Thomas?"
55961Thorold?"
55961Thorold?"
55961Thorold?"
55961Thorold?"
55961Thorold?"
55961Timber?"
55961Timber?"
55961Timber?"
55961Under what name?"
55961Vicky, is Joe mad?"
55961Warrender was a doctor; he took away the body-- why should the lancet not belong to him?
55961Warrender?"
55961Warrender?"
55961Warrender?"
55961Warrender?"
55961Warrender?"
55961Warrender?"
55961Warrender?"
55961Was he hunting him down?
55961Was it the doctor himself?"
55961Was there any serious reason for such secrecy?"
55961Well, I suppose you are wondering why I have come to see you?"
55961Well, and what does he say?"
55961Well, my boy, what is to be done now?"
55961Were we not boys together till he went to Africa?"
55961What about Sophy?"
55961What about him?
55961What about the certificate?"
55961What business, Vicky?--and how can it turn out well for me?
55961What could he be doing?
55961What do ye want to see Muster Marlow for?"
55961What do you know about this matter?"
55961What do you mean, man?"
55961What do you mean?"
55961What do you mean?"
55961What do you mean?"
55961What do you mean?"
55961What do you mean?"
55961What do you think of it?"
55961What for?"
55961What good fairy sent you here?
55961What had Joe done?"
55961What had he done with himself during the forty years he had lived in the West Indies?
55961What has he to do with all this?
55961What have you been doing?"
55961What have you to do with the matter?"
55961What if he should be Marlow himself?"
55961What if his claim could be substantiated?
55961What purpose would it serve?
55961What story?"
55961What was it he heard now?
55961What''ll Mr. Brown say when he comes back and finds his things gone?
55961What''s that?"
55961What''ud they go for?
55961When can we leave, Alan?"
55961When do they hold the inquest on Warrender?"
55961When will you be ready to return, Sophy, my dear?"
55961Where are you going?"
55961Where is he, Miss Vicky?"
55961Where is that meal or sixpence now?
55961Where is the lady?"
55961Where were you last night?
55961Where?"
55961Who is he?"
55961Who is my employer?
55961Who made him drunk?"
55961Who''s gone?
55961Who''s that?"
55961Why London?"
55961Why did n''t you tell us you were at Heathton on that night?
55961Why did you come?
55961Why do you ask?"
55961Why do you come into my life again?
55961Why had the body been removed?
55961Why have you come?"
55961Why should I deceive you?"
55961Why should I have been?
55961Why should I?
55961Why should he steal a corpse?"
55961Why should he?
55961Why should it not be true?
55961Why should n''t we get that reward by working together?"
55961Why should that body have been stolen?"
55961Why, then, come up to pay blackmail?"
55961Why?"
55961Will you pay me for a sight of that letter?"
55961Will you smoke?"
55961Wo n''t you?"
55961Would her champion fail her?
55961Would this man prove his claim?
55961Y''ain''t a''tec?"
55961You are of the same faith?"
55961You did n''t attend him?"
55961You do n''t know Horace, perhaps?"
55961You have no objection, I suppose, to come with me to Heathton and repeat this story?"
55961You have the confession?"
55961You know, of course, the funeral of Mr. Marlow took place in the morning?"
55961You murdered that girl''s father?"
55961You say that Lestrange arrived on the day and by the boat he asserted that he did?"
55961You see this lancet?
55961a play- actor?"
55961and how do you intend to get them?"
55961and leave the servants to wilful waste and extravagance?
55961and you know, sir, how Mrs. Lestrange ran away to Mr. Beauchamp from the way her husband treated her?"
55961are you sure he has the key?"
55961cried Alan passionately,"why did you not trust Sophy and me?
55961cried Alan suddenly,"did Joe get it from Brown?"
55961exclaimed Alan,"and he stole the key of the vault?"
55961growled the coachman,"an''why not?
55961he said,"when you took in the letter, might you have looked at the postmark, my friend?"
55961is little Sophy still alive?"
55961muttered Mr. Phelps, considering,"and of Mrs. Warrender''s suspicious flight, what think you?"
55961on what grounds can she do that?"
55961remarked Mr. Phelps ironically,"and Thorold put the remains of Dr. Warrender back in the vault, I suppose?
55961that was why Joe could not say who killed Achille?"
55961would n''t he be back if he was n''t?
56838A check payable to Barker?
56838A street- car fare would n''t help me to get into the house, would it? 56838 Alone?"
56838Am I too early?
56838And Gene will now go free?
56838And did he make you sign a check?
56838And he is n''t dead or moved away or anything like that?
56838And him you do not know?
56838And little Jean sent it to me, you say?
56838And make him give back the thousand dollars?
56838And no one knows that fact? 56838 And now will you be friends with me, instead of treating me as though I probably needed a snubbing to keep me on my good behavior?"
56838And tell you?
56838And the murderer gone by the window, eh? 56838 And there was no one with you?
56838And was n''t that true?
56838And went home?
56838And with that thought in your mind, you went off and shot him, did you?
56838And you did?
56838And you never heard Diavolo''s real name?
56838And you told Eugene?
56838Another?
56838Anyone else you remember? 56838 Apples?"
56838Are violets your favorites?
56838Are you accustomed to champagne?
56838Are you certain it was that book and no other you read?
56838Are you following me?
56838Are you reading De Senectute?
56838Are your prophetic friends safely out of the way?
56838Barney, what is it?
56838Beginning with the banquet?
56838Believe that it can be exercised? 56838 Brainstorm idea?
56838But he did n''t come that evening?
56838But how had Clyde got the warning?
56838But if Garney killed him, what about Benbow?
56838But if I remember shooting Barker, that is the main thing, is n''t it?
56838But if the sentence was unwarranted?
56838But is n''t it the best way?
56838But should n''t it go to Gene?
56838But when he was not made up? 56838 But who could ever have known that the catch did n''t work?"
56838But whom could he care for so much as that?
56838But why did n''t you think of doing that last night?
56838But would n''t we have heard of it?
56838But you do n''t remember that, do you?
56838But you do n''t remember what the man looked like? 56838 But you eat them?"
56838But you had no reason at that time to suppose that Mr. Clyde was in danger?
56838But you saw him leave the house?
56838But you''ll give me something, wo n''t you?
56838But-- you do think there is a possibility of getting him off, do n''t you? 56838 By the way, how did you know Barker when he came in?"
56838By the way, how did you know that Barker''s office was in the Ph[oe]nix Building?
56838By whom?
56838Can you catch him?--stop him? 56838 Can you describe the office,--the arrangement of the furniture, for instance?"
56838Can you direct me to Mr. Barker''s office?
56838Can you hear the door- bell from your room?
56838Can you make a wax model like that, so as to hold that record permanently?
56838Can you tell me the whole situation?
56838Collier is in charge, then?
56838Could I not help in some way? 56838 Could he get in without your knowing?"
56838Could n''t you have trusted me?
56838Diavolo woke him up, did n''t he?
56838Did Mr. Garney ever speak to you of Alfred Barker?
56838Did anything come up that annoyed you? 56838 Did he bite that?"
56838Did he do it?
56838Did he ever look at you?
56838Did he get you into trouble?
56838Did he go anywhere else, so far as you know?
56838Did he know you knew?
56838Did he leave any effects here?
56838Did he make good?
56838Did he speak to you?
56838Did he?
56838Did you drink much?
56838Did you ever allow him to hypnotize you?
56838Did you ever hear Barker address Diavolo by name?
56838Did you ever hear of William Jordan? 56838 Did you happen to have any young man in particular in mind,"I asked,"or is the position vacant?"
56838Did you know that Barker had a partner?
56838Did you know that Mr. Garney had hypnotic powers?
56838Did you know the farmer?
56838Did you leave the house at all after letting her in?
56838Did you let Diavolo hypnotize you?
56838Did you remember afterwards what he had said or done to you while you were hypnotized?
56838Did you see any signs of bad feeling between them afterwards? 56838 Did you see him that evening at all?"
56838Did you see me?
56838Did you see your brother yesterday?
56838Did you speak to him at all?
56838Did you tell Miss Benbow that you had seen her brother leave the house at three?
56838Distinct, are n''t they?
56838Do n''t you live there, too?
56838Do n''t you see that Mr. Garney was merely deceiving you? 56838 Do you know him?"
56838Do you know if anything happened at his supper to excite him?
56838Do you know what dentist he visited?
56838Do you know whether he was married?
56838Do you mean she will marry him?
56838Do you remember what you were reading?
56838Do you say that just to keep me from fretting,she asked gravely,"or do you really know anything that is going to save Gene?
56838Do you see a weapon anywhere about?
56838Do you think I was out of my head that night? 56838 Do you think he would take it?"
56838Do you think it is ever right to kill?
56838Do you think you can possibly discover who bought that check?
56838Dressed?
56838Ellison is young Benbow''s uncle, is n''t he?
56838Forget what?
56838Gone, has she? 56838 Had Mr. Barker been long with you?"
56838Has Clyde been arrested?
56838Has he ever talked about avenging his father''s death? 56838 Have they found the murderer?"
56838Have you any idea how Benbow knew that Barker was in the Ph[oe]nix Building? 56838 Have you any idea where Clyde is?"
56838Have you any record of issuing a marriage license for Jean Benbow within the last few days?
56838Have you ever heard him express vengefulness toward Barker?
56838Have you had any experience in writing that special kind of a letter?
56838Have you married these two, sir?
56838Have you really had nothing all day?
56838He had the good taste then to admire Miss Thurston?
56838He merely does n''t care for newspaper fame,--and who does? 56838 He will be two hundred and fifty dollars ahead, since Barker did n''t cash the check, eh?"
56838He''s gone, then?
56838Hello, how''s the lawyerman?
56838How could you frighten me so?
56838How did he get your thousand?
56838How did he know I had given you the locket?
56838How did it turn out in your story?
56838How did it turn out?
56838How did you get information about him?
56838How do you do?
56838How do you know he has them?
56838How do you know that?
56838How do you know?
56838How has he done well by them? 56838 How in the world do you know that?"
56838How long ago did she leave the house, according to Minnie?
56838How long has he lived with you?
56838How long have you been here?
56838How long have you known this fact, Fellows?
56838How much does the man know? 56838 How often did you put yourself under his influence?"
56838How shall I find out?
56838How? 56838 How?
56838How_ did_ it make you feel?
56838I suppose you feel that you have to fight for me, as my lawyer, but-- what''s the use in this case? 56838 I went down to the Ph[oe]nix Building--""Did you walk?"
56838I went up to Barker''s office on the second floor,--"How did you know that it was his office? 56838 I?
56838I? 56838 If I should tell you it was I?"
56838If you will tell me what you want to know,--"When did the idea of killing Barker come to you?
56838In what, child?
56838Indeed?
56838Is Mr. Clyde in the house?
56838Is he great friends with Miss Thurston?
56838Is n''t his mind right?
56838Is n''t that enough?
56838Is n''t there any way I could get into Gene''s room for a minute without having that horrid man watching?
56838Is that all you have found out?
56838Is that impertinence, Barney?
56838Is that possible?
56838Is that you, Mr. Hilton? 56838 Is that your only reason for staying, young lady?"
56838Is there anyone on this floor at this time?
56838Is there anything the matter with him? 56838 Is there anything the matter, Miss Jean?"
56838Is this Mr. Barker''s writing, do you know?
56838It is an adult, is it not?
56838It was a shock to you to find that he was dead, was it not?
56838It was morning, then?
56838It was you who let Miss Benbow in, was n''t it?
56838It''s a very pretty plan, Miss Jean, but your brother is quite a bit taller than you are, is n''t he? 56838 Jean?
56838Jean?
56838Jerome? 56838 Just where did you go?--what streets?"
56838May I ask if the day is set?
56838May I ask if you know the amount?
56838May I ask who compose your household?
56838Mr. Clyde, I presume?
56838Mr. Garney, do you know anything to Eugene Benbow''s discredit?
56838No, I must have gone home first, must n''t I? 56838 Not Mr. Fellows?
56838Not the opera?
56838Nothing bad, I hope?
56838Nothing in his life to hide?
56838Now will you tell me again just what happened that evening,--the order of the events?
56838Off to the street, you mean?
56838Oh, is that so? 56838 Oh, is there anything wrong?
56838Oh, may n''t I go with you?
56838Oh,--"Some young man who was desperately in love with you, of course?
56838Or how he was dressed? 56838 Or in the building?"
56838Payable to whom?
56838Settle what? 56838 Shall I put you on the car here, then?
56838Since you meant to give yourself up to the police, why did you go down the fire- escape instead of out through the hall?
56838So soon?
56838Tell him what? 56838 Tell me this, first,--when you came into the house that evening, after you left the boys at the banquet, was the house lit up or dark?"
56838That''s all you know?
56838The mayoralty? 56838 Then a judicial error can never be corrected?"
56838Then can you tell me when Mr. Benbow came in?
56838Then how are we going to arrange to get him out?
56838Then how did you know it was n''t Barker?
56838Then if I ever get my hands on Diavolo, you can identify him, regardless of grease paint and wig?
56838Then if he puts himself in the hands of the law, there will be nothing left but to see the execution of the sentence? 56838 Then this man--?"
56838Then you agree with Jerome''s theory that the villain always returns to the scene of his crime in the last act?
56838Then you believe that he really shot Barker?
56838Then you came back here? 56838 Then you threw yourself down there when you came in and went to sleep, just as you did earlier in the evening, when you came home from the supper?"
56838Then you would n''t know whether he came in at all last night?
56838There was no one else in the room with you?
56838There''s no statute of limitations to run on a sentence of the court, is there?
56838To what am I indebted,--?
56838To whom did you show the room yesterday?
56838Was Barker married?
56838Was Mr. Benbow alone?
56838Was he tall or short?
56838Was it hard to go to sleep?
56838Was it you?
56838Was n''t this made from his mouth?
56838Was that all you heard? 56838 Was that the direction in which his suggestions were made?"
56838Was that what he meant to tell me when we were married?
56838Was there anything peculiar about the formation of his jaw, do you remember? 56838 Was your revolver in the library?"
56838We don''t-- usually--"But you did on this occasion?
56838Well, little Story- Book Girl, are you waiting for the prince?
56838Well, what is the question?
56838Well, what would you do with him? 56838 Well?"
56838Well?
56838Were both the women away last night?
56838What am I doing here?
56838What are you going to do for him?
56838What are your plans now?
56838What can I do for you?
56838What damn foolishness is this?
56838What dentist did you send him to?
56838What did Alfred Barker have to do with it?
56838What did Diavolo look like?
56838What did he do?
56838What did he mean about an ex- convict?
56838What did you do about it? 56838 What did you do with the revolver afterwards?"
56838What did you have to drink at your spread?
56838What did you want to follow him for?
56838What do you know of him?
56838What for?
56838What happened? 56838 What have you found instead?"
56838What have you found?
56838What in the world do you mean, child?
56838What in thunder is the matter with you today, Fellows? 56838 What is his name?
56838What is it?
56838What is it?
56838What is the best way of dealing with a blackmailer?
56838What is your own theory of the affair and of the missing third man?
56838What made you think that he would be there at that time of the night? 56838 What makes you so sure?"
56838What makes you think that?
56838What makes you think that?
56838What of it?
56838What sort of a boy is he? 56838 What sort of associates?"
56838What sort of information?
56838What was he doing there?
56838What were you telling that girl?
56838What will become of it, then?
56838What''s all this?
56838What''s the matter with him?
56838What, specifically, did you come back for?
56838What?
56838What_ can_ be done for the poor boy?
56838When and where did you get this, Barney?
56838When did you think of it?
56838When he came to try his hypnotic stunts?
56838When you woke up and remembered what you had done, you wanted to give yourself up at once to the police?
56838When you woke up this morning, where were you?
56838When? 56838 When?
56838When?
56838Where did you get that bit of information?
56838Where did you meet Diavolo?
56838Where do you suppose her soul was?
56838Where were you?
56838Where''s my rosebud, you rascal?
56838Where?
56838Which one do you mean by the little man?
56838Who is Diavolo?
56838Who is his tutor?
56838Who is making the comments?
56838Who was he?
56838Who was it?
56838Who was on this wire just now?
56838Who would have thought that he had a wife?
56838Who would write the letters?
56838Whom?
56838Whose?
56838Why did n''t he have sense enough to go to South America or Africa, or the South Sea Islands when he first escaped?
56838Why did n''t you come home earlier?
56838Why should she be afraid? 56838 Why, pray?"
56838Why?
56838Why_ did_ you shoot him?
56838Will they-- I mean, is it-- will he-- be hung?
56838Will you come down to my office this afternoon and let me take your deposition about what happened at the birthday supper? 56838 Will you tell me something about the young man?
56838With spectacles?
56838With whom?
56838Would n''t you know? 56838 Would that peculiarity be enough to establish the man''s identity?"
56838Would you know him again if you saw him without his hair and beard?
56838Would you know him if you saw him?
56838You are going away?
56838You are going down to the jail?
56838You are sure about that?
56838You ca n''t help me by a guess?
56838You ca n''t help sympathizing with the man who shot him, can you?
56838You did n''t come for me?
56838You did n''t have another copy of De Senectute about? 56838 You did n''t see any stranger here during the evening, either with Mr. Benbow or otherwise?"
56838You did n''t tell him? 56838 You did not know, then, that there was enmity between the two men?"
56838You do n''t advise me to stay and brazen it out, then?
56838You do n''t mean trivial faults?
56838You do n''t suppose that Garney hypnotized him,_ and sent him to shoot Barker?_ That would be neat! 56838 You do n''t think of anything else that I ought to know,--anything having a bearing on Benbow''s actions or his state of mind?"
56838You have seen the paper?
56838You know Barker, then?
56838You know of no absorbing entanglement, either with man or woman?
56838You mean I am to go with you now?
56838You mean after I left that perfectly beautiful old soldier? 56838 You mean in killing Senator Benbow?"
56838You mean that dude that was here in the summer and read people''s thoughts at the Orpheum? 56838 You mean that you went home and went to sleep last night?"
56838You never caught up with them?
56838You never heard of Diavolo?
56838You never heard of him?
56838You remember that you thought in the morning that you had killed Barker in the night,I said sharply,"but do you remember killing him?
56838You saw no one else at any time except the man who came into the outer office?
56838You spoke to no one of your plan?
56838You think it will hurt him?
56838You think of nothing that would prompt him to assert his guilt, if, in point of fact, he should not be guilty?
56838You think that is n''t enough to induce her to come forward?
56838You think the mayoralty is worth the risk?
56838You think then that this was not his first appearance on the stage?
56838You think you must have,--but do you_ remember_ it, as you do the first?
56838You think, then, that there might be some element in the situation that would perhaps complicate it?
56838You were n''t afraid?
56838You wish him to know?
56838You''ll go at once, of course?
56838You_ are_ going away, are n''t you?
56838You_ do_ remember that?
56838You_ would_ do that?
56838''Beg pardon,''he said,''but you''re Mr. Clyde, are n''t you?''
56838''Indeed?''
56838( Is n''t that like youth?
56838( Was n''t that neat, and dear of her?)
56838A gentleman would have to do that, would n''t he?"
56838Agreed?"
56838And if he should hesitate on my account, and talk about not letting me sacrifice myself,--he may, you know,--will you make him-- understand?"
56838And if so, why?"
56838And that is the only thing that is really important, is n''t it?"
56838And we only had two bottles--""Among how many?"
56838And what would he have to do with it?"
56838And will you bring two or three others,--fellows who were there and heard it all?
56838And yet what possible motive could he have for making a false confession?
56838Any irregularity, for instance?"
56838Anything else you would like to know?"
56838Anything identifying?"
56838Anything?"
56838Are you married?"
56838Benbow?"
56838Benbow?"
56838Business suit, or evening dress?"
56838But I infer that you did know something of his practices in private?"
56838But are n''t you taking a good deal for granted in assuming that you are going to be married?
56838But he goes and shoots him, and what is there interesting in that?
56838But now that the cabman is disposed of, how are you going to get into the house?"
56838But now the question is, what are you going to do?
56838But there is n''t anything new?"
56838But there_ is_ someone--?"
56838But this idea of avenging him,--have you cherished it all these years?"
56838But who was it that knew, before the papers were fairly on the street, that Barker was dead?
56838Can it be true?"
56838Can you guess my elation?
56838Clyde?"
56838Could it be possible?
56838Could you, perhaps, make a set of teeth that would fit those marks?"
56838Did Garney hypnotize you the day that you hunted up Barker to shoot him?"
56838Did he know where you kept it?"
56838Did n''t Barney bring her home in a cab an hour ago?
56838Did n''t you see the man''s face?"
56838Did she think that she could hide away from her hubby?
56838Did that have anything to do with it?"
56838Did you go direct to the Ph[oe]nix Building?"
56838Did you know anything of her plan to be married?
56838Did you know him?"
56838Did you send a thousand dollars to William Jordan, and if so, why?"
56838Do n''t it, now?"
56838Do n''t you remember?"
56838Do n''t you see?
56838Do n''t you see?"
56838Do you know Benbow''s associates or friends outside of the University?"
56838Do you know anything that would help me to identify him?
56838Do you know his plans, Hilton?"
56838Do you know where Clyde is?"
56838Do you know where she is?"
56838Do you know whether Barker was ever married?"
56838Do you know whether he has anything to prove his charges?"
56838Do you mean that I was hypnotized when I shot Barker?"
56838Do you mean to say that you think the confession false?
56838Do you remember you told me you saw a stranger come in?"
56838Do you remember, as a matter of fact, going to his office?
56838Do you see that?"
56838Do you suppose it was the champagne?"
56838Do you think she could possibly have gone to that man?"
56838Do you want to go home?
56838Does he say that?"
56838Does it make any difference?"
56838Ellison?"
56838Ever see him?"
56838Faint?"
56838Garney?"
56838Garney?"
56838Garney?"
56838Had Barker been levying blackmail on him also?
56838Had Benbow been drinking,--enough to affect him?"
56838Had he been nerving himself for the discovery?
56838Had he, too, come to look up Mr. Barker?
56838Had someone been with Benbow?
56838Has that been on his mind?"
56838Have n''t you any friends in the neighborhood?"
56838Have you anything to support your extraordinary hypothesis beyond your natural desire to clear your client?"
56838Have you heard about Clyde?"
56838He fainted on the street, you say?
56838He lives with you?"
56838He was a friend of yours, was n''t he?"
56838He was a sure- enough swell off the stage, was n''t he?"
56838Hilton?"
56838Hilton?"
56838Hilton?"
56838Hilton?"
56838How about my personal papers?
56838How about your revolver, Gene?
56838How are you going to get away?"
56838How could you do so mad a thing?"
56838How did I get here?"
56838How did you get away?"
56838How did you know about him and me, by the way?"
56838How do ideas come to us?
56838How in the name of mystery did you get in here?"
56838How in the name of wonder had Fellows picked up an acquaintance with her?
56838How is Miss Benbow?"
56838How much have you about you?"
56838How old is he?"
56838How should I?"
56838How would he take the news?
56838How?"
56838I have an idea that he is a pretty hard student,--""Has he been working hard?--overstraining himself?"
56838I merely asked,"What sort of a place is the back entry?"
56838I went away with this new and puzzling question putting everything else out of my mind,--Was his confession true?
56838I''m terribly worried--""What makes you think she is gone?
56838If Garney shot Barker, why did Gene say he did?
56838If I mention in the right place that you and the hypnotist Diavolo are one and the same, where will you be then?''
56838If I regard life for myself as of dubious value under such conditions, do you think I am so hopelessly mean as to ask anyone to share it with me?"
56838If a man could be identified by his finger print, why not by the print of his teeth?
56838If he is taken, or gives himself up, what prospect is there that he will ever be cleared?"
56838If you are satisfied yourself that your actions are justified, what have you to do with the opinions of other people or the upbraidings of conscience?
56838If you wanted him again, how would you go to work to find him?"
56838In the eyes of the law, he is merely an escaped convict?"
56838Is it too late?"
56838Is n''t it a shame?"
56838Is that it?"
56838Is that so?"
56838Is that what you mean?"
56838Is that what you mean?"
56838Is there anything further to investigate?"
56838It will not be necessary for you to do anything more than to look at him, will it?"
56838It wo n''t be any trouble?
56838Know him?"
56838Let me have that stick of yours, will you?
56838May I not go with you?"
56838Mr. Garney could not have come in unless you yourself admitted him, could he?"
56838No business to be here, mixing up in things that concern men, but what can you expect nowadays?
56838Now do you wonder that I liked Miss Thurston?
56838Now when can you go with me to the morgue?
56838Now will you marry me?"
56838Of what was Eden Valley reminiscent?
56838On both sides the upper teeth formed a V.""Like this?"
56838Or of Eden Valley?"
56838Really and truly clear him and-- and give him back to me?"
56838Revengeful?"
56838Say, it''s a funny stunt, is n''t it?
56838Say, that''s a great stunt, is n''t it?
56838She says now that I must not stand here and keep you talking, though really I know it is I that is talking,--or should I say am talking?
56838Should you say there was anything peculiar about those teeth?
56838Suppose they had quarreled to the death?
56838Tell me everything, ca n''t you?
56838That check for$ 250--you remember?"
56838The charge is so incredible that we may well be asked,--Where lies the proof of identity, beyond the word of Alfred Barker, now cold in death?
56838The jaw is uncommonly narrow for an adult--""But you are sure it is an adult?"
56838The recollection was almost like a voice,--"Don''t you remember?"
56838Then one night I saw her cryin'',--""Where?"
56838Then this letter,--she brought you this yesterday?"
56838Then what did you do?
56838Then when the trouble came you were known by that name instead of your own?"
56838Then, deliberately,"Are you married yet?"
56838Then, dropping his voice,"Is the death penalty in force there?"
56838This had been your home before?"
56838This your street?
56838Though I suppose that is what real life is like, maybe?"
56838To whom am I indebted?''
56838Under those circumstances would you advise me to hunt for an open window?"
56838Violent?
56838Was I to stand by and say nothing while he tumbled his wits at her feet?
56838Was I-- was I-- under his influence?
56838Was Miss Benbow waiting outside till three in the morning?"
56838Was anything said-- about Barker, for instance?"
56838Was he married?"
56838Was it Garney?
56838Was it not most probable that that was what had happened later?
56838Was that mentioned?"
56838Was that you?"
56838Was there a tall young man, fresh- shaven, with rather a blue- black tint where the beard had been taken off?"
56838Was there any more quarrelling?"
56838Was there anything else?"
56838What are you saying?
56838What can have happened?"
56838What did Diavolo say to that?"
56838What did he look like?"
56838What do you think of it?"
56838What is conscience?
56838What makes you think he knows anything about it?"
56838What next?"
56838What novel did you get that from?"
56838What of that?"
56838What then?"
56838What then?"
56838What time was it?"
56838What was he like?"
56838What was the use of talking common- sense to a creature like that?
56838What would have happened if I had stayed in the room?
56838What''s on your mind?"
56838What''s respectability compared to the coin?''
56838What''s the joke?"
56838What''s the use of being twins, if it does n''t count for something?"
56838When brought to trial, he succeeded in convincing the jury that he believed(?)
56838When had he been shot?
56838Where do you think you are going?"
56838Where is he to be found?"
56838Where, and with whom?"
56838Where?
56838Who had killed Barker?
56838Who is Gene?
56838Who is the young lady this time?"
56838Who was Diavolo?
56838Who was it that would cry, with passion,"_ Now_ will you marry me?"
56838Whom do you think I saw there, of all persons in the world?
56838Whom else do you suspect?"
56838Whom would Gene Benbow wish to save at any cost?
56838Why had n''t I thought of that before?
56838Why has the Lord made so many stupid people?
56838Why should I?
56838Will I be allowed to turn them over to you?"
56838Will you let me know if there ever is anything I can do?"
56838Will you see to that?"
56838Would he have shot his victim just the same?
56838Would n''t it be best for some member of your family or some friend to come for you?"
56838Would one name answer all three questions?
56838You advise me, then, to bury myself somewhere beyond reach of the extradition laws?"
56838You are sure of that?"
56838You did n''t recognize me as the man?"
56838You do n''t dislike emeralds?"
56838You here?"
56838You here?"
56838You saw him here in the hotel in his natural guise, did n''t you?"
56838You want me?"
56838You were out for dinner, too, last night, were you not?"
56838You were quite alone all the time?"
56838You will take the necessary steps, Hilton?"
56838Your name--?"
9440A little late, are n''t you? 9440 Ai n''t, eh?"
9440And so they kind of got your goat, and you figured the safest thing to do was to bring them home with you?
9440And where''s Virat-- did you kill him, too?
9440And--he put the money and the diamond pendant coolly in his pocket--"it would be too bad if I did n''t play it up, would n''t it?
9440Any trace of the bonds? 9440 Anybody see you do that?"
9440Anything there you want?
9440Are you trying to be funny? 9440 Birdie,"he said quietly,"could you open this safe if you wanted to?"
9440Busy? 9440 But why-- why?"
9440Clear?
9440De same way dat blasted snitch of a Gray Seal did-- eh? 9440 Did I?"
9440Do you really think I ought to-- that it would n''t be out of keeping with our present circumstances?
9440Do you remember the first time I ever wore it?
9440Feelin''faint?
9440Five years up the river was n''t enough for you-- eh?
9440Fourteen years would be a light sentence, would n''t it?
9440Got it tucked away safe, have you? 9440 Got it?"
9440Got who?
9440Half-- give me a quarter then?
9440Half-- give me half?
9440Have you the letter that I find-- Mister Barca?
9440Headquarters?... 9440 Heard de news?"
9440How d''youse know it was fifteen thousand?
9440How did it come this time?
9440How do you know?
9440How much were you going to get for it?
9440How''d you get here, and what the hell d''you want?
9440I been waitin''for you to try the window, but you''re too foxy-- eh? 9440 I did n''t recognise your voice-- but then I have n''t heard it for a long while, have I?
9440I got the straight tip, eh? 9440 I guess you know who I am, do n''t you?
9440I suppose you mean that you recognise it?
9440I told youse once, did n''t I? 9440 It is a little late, is it not?"
9440It is strange, is n''t it? 9440 It was addressed to Martin Moore on Sixth Avenue, was n''t it?"
9440It would hardly do for any one to know where the money really came from-- would it?
9440Jimmie-- are you there?
9440Kind of a jolt-- eh-- Smarlinghue? 9440 Know him?"
9440Mr. Carruthers? 9440 My God--_proof!_ Who tipped your people off to have you drop in there this afternoon?
9440Satisfied?
9440Say, youse do n''t mean dat-- do youse?
9440Sitting up again, Jason? 9440 So you do n''t know anything about it-- eh?
9440So you''re up to your old tricks again, are you, Birdie?
9440Sold it, eh?
9440Suppose some of them, or even all of them, were recovered that way in time-- where do I stand to- morrow morning?
9440That''s none of your business, is it?
9440The--_what_?
9440They''re-- they''re gone?
9440Think so?
9440Turn out the light?
9440W- what do you mean?
9440W- what do you want?
9440Well, Jason?
9440Well, Jason?
9440Well, Jason?
9440Well, they''re numbered, are n''t they?
9440Well, what about dat?
9440Well, you see now, do n''t you?
9440Well----what''s it mean?
9440Were either of you talking with any one around the East Side to- night who would be likely to make a tip of it, or pass the tip along?
9440What are you going to do?
9440What are you going to''soup''it with?
9440What did I tell you, eh?
9440What did you say? 9440 What do you mean?"
9440What do you want here?
9440What do you want?
9440What does this mean?
9440What is it, Jason?
9440What is it? 9440 What is it?
9440What is it?
9440What is it?
9440What''s that?
9440What''s the condition of that tenement case with the broken head?
9440What''s the game?
9440What''s the lay?
9440What''s wanted?
9440What''s your price?
9440What''s-- what''s the game?
9440What''s_ what_?
9440What-- what do you want?
9440Where does he live?
9440Where is he?... 9440 Where to, sir?"
9440Who are you?
9440Who are you?
9440Who caught her, Wowzer?
9440Who got you into the bank here?
9440Who is it?
9440Who was it?
9440Who''s there?
9440Who-- who are you?
9440Who?
9440Will you need me any further, sir?
9440Wo n''t you?
9440Yes-- and here?
9440Yes? 9440 You did n''t let''em get your nerve up the river, did you?
9440You don''t-- eh?
9440You mean he''ll come back here?
9440You sure you ai n''t trying to hold anything out on me? 9440 You wantee me, Smarly''oo?"
9440You-- you know my name?
9440You-- you know what happened there-- you were wise to everything all the time?
9440You-- you mean you want me for-- for a stool pigeon?
9440Youse keeps yer yap closed till youse gets de cue-- savvy? 9440 _ They?
9440... No?
9440... What?
9440..._ Who_?
9440A step cautiously approaching?
9440A voice responded in feverish excitement:"Say, dat youse, Joe?
9440Acting through some_ unknown_ agency?
9440Agent-- of what?
9440Ai n''t I told youse it was near five o''clock when I went dere-- an''dat''s after de banks are closed, ai n''t it?
9440All right, my bucko-- then I''ll get you another way-- with just one shot, see?
9440An''de word''s out not to do any pushin''an''crowdin''around de Mole''s fer front seats,''cause den de bulls''d get wise-- savvy?
9440And I ai n''t got any more paper to write any more letters on either-- savvy?
9440And figuring that way they wo n''t change any of the plans or details as they stand now in those papers-- eh?
9440And how did the Magpie get onto the lay?"
9440And meanwhile a_ copy_ is just as good to the man who is coughing up to you and me and the rest of us for this, is n''t it?"
9440And now-- what now?
9440And now--_what_?
9440And on the other hand-- but what was the use of torturing his brain with a never- ending rehearsal of details?
9440And that''s how I found you there-- see?
9440And the doctor would establish the fact that Forrester had died from the effects of a dose of prussic acid; and the police would establish-- what?
9440And then you commenced to do the drip act-- savvy?
9440And those other things, the empty bottle, the sheet of note paper with its scrawled confession-- what about them?
9440And to follow her?
9440And what had been the meaning of that"financial help"?
9440And what of that letter?
9440And yet what held the boots upright like that?
9440And yet what was he to do?
9440And yet, why then had the Wolf, deliberately in that case, sent his pack off on a false scent?
9440And yet-- what was it?
9440And, oh, by the way, colonel, have you any idea how much Thorold and his precious friend Kisnieff have blackmailed you out of in the last two years?"
9440Anything wrong with that spiel?
9440Are the bonds there?"
9440Are you listening?
9440Are you sure there ai n''t no chance of Malay gettin''back?
9440Are you sure?...
9440As far as I can make out, there ai n''t a dive or a roost in the Bad Lands where you do n''t get the glad hand-- eh?"
9440Because-- what?
9440But Marre, too, has disappeared-- you understand, Jimmie?
9440But Martin Moore must have an address, eh?
9440But for how long?
9440But how did youse know dat guy Kenleigh had de goods?"
9440But mabbe I''d better get yer gun first, eh?"
9440But this-- what was this?
9440But where was the old woman?
9440But why should you not speculate a little, a very little, if you like-- if you get the very private and good tips, eh?
9440CHAPTER XIV THE LAST CARD Two weeks had gone by-- or was it three?
9440Clever brain-- clever brain-- clever--""Who was it?
9440Coming across?
9440Could Thorold keep the appointment?
9440D''ye hear about a man being murdered to- day with his face cut up?
9440D''ye think I''m going to spend half an hour cracking a safe and take a chance of missing any bets?
9440D''ye understand?"
9440Dale?"
9440Dale?"
9440De bulls ai n''t on, an''de Mole saw her first-- see?
9440Did n''t I?
9440Did she have a hidden purpose in that?
9440Did the letter, apart from its incriminating ingenuity, supply the answer to his question?
9440Did they find the bonds?
9440Do I make myself plain-- Laroque?
9440Do n''t you hear them?
9440Do you live near here?"
9440Do you remember, Jimmie?
9440Do you understand what I mean now by naked foils?
9440Do you understand?
9440Eh?...
9440For God''s sake, who are you?"
9440Get me again?"
9440Get me?
9440Get me?
9440Get me?"
9440Get that?"
9440Get the idea?
9440Get the idea?
9440Get the lay?"
9440Got any money?"
9440Had Thorold already done so?
9440Had the Colonel and Mrs. Milford already finished their dinner?
9440Had the Pippin been and gone; or was he, Jimmie Dale, ahead of the Pippin?
9440Had the underworld, prompted by the Magpie, solved the riddle-- did it know, or guess, or suspect that Silver Mag was Marie LaSalle?
9440Half an hour?
9440Have youse doped it out?"
9440He had already told Jason-- if in other words-- that there was no"call to arms"to the Gray Seal to- night, had n''t he?
9440Heard of me perhaps, too-- eh?
9440Her voice?
9440His intuition had been right again then, and that meant--_what_?
9440How did you come to bring a hundred thousand dollars''worth of bonds home with you?
9440How had he ever become intimate enough with Gentleman Laroque to be associated with the other in such a crime as this?
9440How long would it take them to get here?
9440How''s he goin''to lose anything if we lift de cash?
9440How, if old Kronische chose to"talk,"could Smarlinghue account for any connection with what had transpired in Forrester''s room?
9440I beg your pardon?
9440I can hear_ you_ perfectly.... What?
9440I could n''t crack Kenleigh''s safe myself, but it was nuts for the Magpie-- see?
9440I did n''t ask you to employ Grenville, did I?
9440I did, did n''t I?
9440I guess you understand, do n''t you?
9440I have your permission?"
9440I pretended that I could n''t open the safe, and--""_ Can_ you?"
9440I want to know where Peter Marre, alias Clarke, is?"
9440I wanted you to have him arrested then, did n''t I?"
9440I was goin''inter de office w''en I hears some spielin''goin''on inside, an''I opens de door a crack, an''I keeps it open like dat-- savvy?
9440I was just going there to pay a pal a little visit-- see?
9440I"--he hesitated an instant--"I-- I hope the money may be recovered, otherwise--""Eh?"
9440If Forrester had died from that cause, how had he taken it himself, and out of what had he taken it?
9440Intuition again?
9440It is a cuff link, the Pippin''s cuff link, that was dropped in the struggle.... What?
9440It is strange, though, is n''t it, how sometimes the most cunning of plans go astray in the simplest and yet the most perverse of ways?
9440It meant-- what did it mean?
9440It sounds like a joke, does n''t it?
9440It was dirty and crumpled, and the few lines written upon it were badly penned and illiterate: The ante''s gone up-- get me?
9440It''s a cinch, ai nt it?"
9440It-- it came, sir, not ten minutes after you left to- night, and--""Jason,"said Jimmie Dale sharply,"what''s the matter with you?
9440J. Barca has flown the coop and ca n''t be found, and-- well, I guess you get it, do n''t you?"
9440Jammed there, perhaps?
9440Just how had it been done?
9440Just leave it to de Mole-- get me?"
9440Just what exactly did the message mean?
9440Know my friend-- Mr. Martin Moore, alias Mr. Clarie Archman?
9440Mabbe she staked youse ter de tip dat de bonds was here, eh?"
9440No guy gets de Gray Seal alive-- I guess youse are wise ter dat, ai n''t youse?
9440Not alone here in the Magpie''s den-- eh?
9440Now, wot d''youse say-- are youse on?"
9440Oh, you did-- eh?
9440One nice little job-- eh?
9440Only, for God''s sake, come-- will you?
9440Only, say, youse keep away from me fer de rest of de night-- get me?
9440Own it, do you?"
9440Perhaps, too, you know of a man who is commonly called the Pippin?
9440Pretty, is n''t it?
9440Savvy?
9440Savvy?
9440Say, who are you anyway?
9440See?
9440See?
9440Shall I ask them to connect you here?"
9440Shall I give you the details of this afternoon and to- night?
9440So that was the game at Malay John''s, was it?
9440Suppose I call some of that gang back, and show''em the_ painting_ you''ve done along the hall-- eh?
9440Suppose Whitie, for instance, passed the word that you were a snitch-- eh?
9440Sure this is for me, and that you are n''t making a mistake?"
9440Talk New York, see?"
9440That all you got, Thorold?"
9440That might be true; he might be able to do that, probably would, for it was still very early; but if not-- what then?
9440That''s all, is n''t it?
9440The Crime Club, or the Magpie?
9440The bank does not like its young men to speculate-- yes?
9440The foot of the bed itself?
9440The police who had obviously been detailed to the lane at the rear of the Mole''s were fighting now-- with whom-- why?
9440The vital question was-- where were the bonds?
9440The woman he loved-- where was she?
9440Then Laroque spoke again:"Do you see where you stand-- Clarie?
9440Then he spoke again, a little sadly:"Would you wish those days back again, if you could?"
9440There was a moment''s apparent hesitancy; then, hoarsely:"Youse are sure, eh, dat nobody saw youse dere?"
9440There were only the two of us on the staff, and did n''t I tell you that I had discovered that the books were cooked from cover to cover?
9440They''ve been meeting in Malay''s den for the last few nights-- understand?
9440Throw the light on the knob, will you?"
9440Was it Reddy Mull-- or English Dick?
9440Was it purely over- wrought nerves, due to the strain of the peril he ran as Larry the Bat-- or was it intuition?
9440Was she safe_ to- night?_ Where was she?
9440Was she safe_ to- night?_ Where was she?
9440Was that a sound there outside the door?
9440Was that it?
9440Was the place deserted?
9440Was there a middle course?
9440Was there any one within?
9440We piped you off on that lay about two weeks ago-- and it looked good to us, and we played it for a winner, see?
9440Well, after all, did it make any ultimate difference?
9440Well, what did you find?
9440Well, what do you say?"
9440Well, what do you want?"
9440Well, what then?
9440Well, what''s the answer?
9440Well, what''s the answer?"
9440Well, why not?
9440Well, wot d''youse say?"
9440Well-- Laroque?"
9440Well?
9440What are you talking about?
9440What came?"
9440What could I do?
9440What danger could there be?
9440What did it matter now?
9440What did it matter?
9440What did it matter?
9440What did it mean?
9440What did it mean?
9440What do they say?"
9440What do you want?"
9440What ghastly irony had prompted Clancy to sort_ him_ out for a police spy?
9440What had Melinoff meant by saying he had played square?
9440What had happened in that time?
9440What had happened since Forrester had''phoned, that had driven the man to this extremity?
9440What had happened?
9440What is it?"
9440What is the end of this to be?
9440What is the matter?"
9440What of the afterwards-- a means of retreat-- a temporary sanctuary?
9440What time this evening did you get back here before you went out to dine?"
9440What was he to do?
9440What was he to do?
9440What was he to do?
9440What was he to do?
9440What was in that letter signed"J. Barca"that Clarie Archman had received?
9440What was it that the Pippin was to procure from Melinoff, and for which, if necessary, the Pippin was to go"the limit"?
9440What was it?
9440What was the game?
9440What was the use of speculation?
9440What would the boy do?
9440What would the boy do?
9440What would you say, Laroque, would be the sentence handed out for that little affair to a man with, say,_ your_ past record?"
9440What, after all, did the"how"of it matter?
9440What, then, did it mean?
9440What?...
9440What?...
9440Where was she?
9440Where was she?
9440Where was the Tocsin?
9440Where was the Tocsin?
9440Where-- where did the police come from?"
9440Which one would come first then-- English Dick, or Reddy Mull?
9440Which was it?
9440Which way did he go?...
9440Who brought you over from England?"
9440Who had it?
9440Who put up this plant?
9440Who was it that dogged and haunted her, that was wrecking and ruining her life?
9440Who was it?
9440Who was it?"
9440Whose turn was it to be next?
9440Whose was the master brain behind all this?
9440Why had Niccolo Sonnino''s safe been selected as the one especial and desirable nut to crack?
9440Why had she gone like that?
9440Why had she not waited-- just for a moment, just for the single instant, if he could have had no more, that he would have given his life to have?
9440Why had the Tocsin set midnight, waited for midnight as the hour for the Secret Service raid?
9440Why should so unusual a thing happen to him to- night?
9440Why the one upstairs?
9440Why, then, Sonnino''s safe to- night?
9440Wot''s de lay?
9440Would it be as Smarlinghue to- night?
9440Would it be_ only_ the thief, or would he have to reckon with Thorold again as well?
9440Would it not be better to leave it there?
9440Would it, then, occasion even surprise that the Magpie should be found murdered in his own den at the hands of the Gray Seal?
9440Yes, there should be time; but, if not-- what then?
9440Yes, why not?
9440Yes-- but how?
9440Yes-- murder.... What?
9440Yes?"
9440You do n''t think I''m a fool, do you, to steer you into a lay that''s got a come- back on myself unless the thing was planted right?
9440You do n''t want to blame Mr. Marner here and myself for Mr. Forrester''s death, do you?"
9440You know the back entrance to Malay John''s hang- out?"
9440You only get in deeper with the jury for trying to_ trick_ them, see?
9440You ought to know what that''ll mean to you-- eh?
9440You sure you put_ all_ they gave you in the safe-- Niccolo?"
9440You work for a bank, eh?
9440You-- you know the story, then?"
9440_ Her voice_?
9440_ Was that a step coming up the stairs?_ He listened now intently.
9440_ What was that_?
9440_ What_?...
9440_ Where is Marre?_"The misshapen, shrunken thing was rocking on its feet.
9808A forgery?
9808A trap? 9808 Am I sure?
9808An accident? 9808 An''''ow do you know?"
9808And all you went to the Castle for was to speak to Elizabeth Twitcher?
9808And did Lord Loudwater never mention the name of any lady when he was boasting?
9808And did Lord Loudwater tell you when he instructed his bankers?
9808And he did n''t know about the allowance?
9808And how am I to tell whether the wound was self- inflicted, or not?
9808And how did Lady Loudwater take it?
9808And how else were you to score off him except by hitting him in the pocket? 9808 And how long did this interview last?"
9808And how was she dressed?
9808And how was the hog this morning?
9808And on whose account should she commit murder?
9808And that was all you saw?
9808And that''s all you heard?
9808And what did she do? 9808 And what happened then?"
9808And what happened then?
9808And what kind of a man is the new man-- anything like his dead cousin?
9808And what time was it that you heard this?
9808And what''s she going to do about it?
9808And where did she go?
9808And where did the fishiness come in?
9808And which of these three people came away first?
9808And why did n''t she think it would go on for ever? 9808 And would you ask her if she feels equal to seeing me yet?"
9808And you never tried to find out whether it was the truth or not?
9808And you say that Lady Loudwater is interesting too?
9808Are you going? 9808 Are you quite sure?"
9808Are you sure that nothing in the nature of a snore came to your ears as you came out? 9808 As if she were used to going into the Castle that way?"
9808As you passed through the library, did you happen to notice whether the knife was in its place in the big inkstand?
9808At this hour? 9808 But he met Lady Loudwater in the wood?"
9808But if any one chooses to have them, and act on them, what are you going to do about it? 9808 But surely you have n''t any doubt about that?"
9808But what about these gangs of criminals we sometimes read about, with extraordinarily clever men at the head of them? 9808 But what are you going to do if they try to make out that you did?
9808But why do we waste our time talking about the tiresome fellow when there are things a thousand times more interesting to talk about? 9808 But why should he commit suicide?"
9808But why should n''t I have tea with you in the pavilion? 9808 But why should n''t you question Lady Loudwater before me?"
9808But will you get the new Lord Loudwater to bring this action?
9808But you do n''t think that he was sufficiently upset to do himself an injury?
9808But-- but wo n''t there be rather an outcry at our marrying so soon?
9808By the way, how did you get on with the newspaper men?
9808Ca n''t you smell his vile tobacco?
9808Can you tell me any one who might know?
9808Can you tell me whether the French window in the library, the end one, was open at that time?
9808Come to gloat over me, have you?
9808Could you see into the library at all?
9808D- D- Dog''s trick? 9808 Dead?"
9808Did he seem in a hurry?
9808Did she hesitate before going through the library window?
9808Did she seem to be in a hurry when she came out? 9808 Did the hog say anything more about halving my allowance?"
9808Did you hear him snore going out, or coming in?
9808Did you let him out of the Castle?
9808Did_ he_ seem in any hurry?
9808Do you know how Lord Loudwater came to hear of their meeting?
9808Do you know what the time was?
9808Do you know whether your husband had anything worrying him-- any serious trouble of any kind which would make him likely to commit suicide?
9808Do you mean now, or before we were married?
9808Do you mean to tell me that she did n''t murder Loudwater?
9808Do you think he really knows anything?
9808Do you think it likely?
9808Do you think not?
9808Does he ever come into contact with any one who is not dependent on him? 9808 Entangled?
9808Evidence? 9808 Get married?"
9808Has any of you opened the windows of the library this morning?
9808Has she?
9808Have you any suspicion that he had any particular lady in mind-- any of your common friends, for example-- some one who has stayed at the Castle?
9808He did, did he?
9808Her guard against what?
9808Her ladyship?
9808How could Colonel Grey admit a thing that never happened?
9808How did you know he was at the side door?
9808How else would he go out?
9808How should it be brought up?
9808How was I to know what a hog he was at home? 9808 Hutchings?
9808I suppose I shall''ave to tell what I know at the inquest?
9808I suppose that your husband knows all about it?
9808I suppose this is the knife that was in the library? 9808 I wonder if there was an intrigue with a country girl or woman, some one in the neighbourhood?"
9808I wonder whether Manley would know anything about it?
9808I wonder who she can be?
9808In a very bad temper?
9808In the pavilion, your lordship? 9808 Indeed?"
9808Indeed?
9808Is he?
9808Is it as bad as that?
9808Is it important?
9808Is n''t there? 9808 It was Colonel Grey, was it?"
9808Just like me? 9808 Mad?"
9808Me?
9808Mrs. Carruthers said you wished to speak to me, sir?
9808Murdered?
9808My dear fellow, what on earth are you driving at? 9808 No, I''m not; and I do n''t think that that doctor-- what''s his name?
9808Nonsense? 9808 Not hurt you?
9808Of course he had no money troubles; but were there any domestic troubles which might have unhinged his mind to that extent?
9808Oh, that was it, was it?
9808Oh, why ever did you kill him?
9808Oh?
9808Out of the side door?
9808Perhaps you would like me to deal with him? 9808 Saw''oo?"
9808Shall I write to your dressmaker?
9808She did?
9808Slept every evening, did he? 9808 So you did?"
9808So you know that I saw Hutchings in the hall that night?
9808Suicide? 9808 Tea?
9808The murderer of a man he hated like poison? 9808 Then he had enemies?"
9808Then you do n''t know who did it?
9808Then you do want to see more of me?
9808This was two years ago?
9808Trial? 9808 Twelve thousand pounds?"
9808Warrant for whom?
9808Was he on good terms with Lord Loudwater?
9808Was he so fond of Lady Loudwater?
9808Well, and if there''s an error in these details, where is it? 9808 Well, can we get a look at it?"
9808Well, did you, as you went through the library, coming or going, hear Lord Loudwater snore?
9808Well, was it after or before you spoke to him that you heard Lord Loudwater snore?
9808What about the cheques to''Self''? 9808 What about the inquest?
9808What are we going to do? 9808 What are you grinning at?
9808What did Lord Loudwater discharge him for?
9808What did happen?
9808What did she say?
9808What did she_ say_?
9808What do I care about Loudwater-- now?
9808What do you know about wine? 9808 What do you think, Lady Loudwater?"
9808What family?
9808What happened next?
9808What kind of terms was he on with his murdered cousin?
9808What kind of terms was the late Lord Loudwater likely to be on with his heir? 9808 What on earth are you talking about?
9808What on earth is to be done about it?
9808What rubber shares?
9808What should I want to do a thing like that for? 9808 What time was it when he left you?"
9808What time would this be?
9808What''s the matter?
9808What? 9808 When are you going to take our finger- prints?"
9808Which of the under- gamekeepers is it?
9808Who said as they were goin''to try Jim''Utchings? 9808 Who set this absurd story going?"
9808Why did n''t you burn it? 9808 Why should n''t I come?"
9808Why the devil do n''t you see that the ink is fresh?
9808Why, have you and James made it up, Elizabeth?
9808Why?
9808William Roper? 9808 William Roper?
9808With such a master-- what can you expect?
9808With you?
9808Wo n''t you sit down? 9808 Women?"
9808Yesterday?
9808Yet you think that he would have done his best to hound you out of the Army?
9808You ca n''t remember?
9808You ca n''t tell me nearer than that?
9808You do n''t happen to know if he was making any payments to a woman-- an allowance, for example?
9808You do n''t know of any domestic trouble which might have induced Lord Loudwater to make an end of himself?
9808You do n''t know that he went out by the side door?
9808You do n''t think that your husband brooded on it for the rest of the evening and worked himself up into a dangerous frame of mind?
9808You say that Mr. Manley saw you go out?
9808You think him a likely man to have committed suicide, do you?
9808You think it can be worked?
9808You think so, do you?
9808You''ll give me a lesson? 9808 You?
9808_ Began_ by quarrelling?
9808''Oo''s a goin''to be tried?
9808A lady you say?"
9808Absurd nonsense?"
9808Again he asked himself could either, or both of them, have actually had a hand in it?
9808Again, he asked himself, had either of them murdered Lord Loudwater to save the other?
9808Am I sure?
9808And a few days before he committed suicide--""Committed suicide?"
9808And what did she mean by that?"
9808And what do they say about the mysterious lady the papers are talking about-- the lady you saw?"
9808And who''s going to pay any heed to William Roper?"
9808And will you see that no one wakes Lady Loudwater before her usual hour, or tells her what has happened?
9808Are there any large ones among them?"
9808Are you pumping me or merely pulling my leg?"
9808Are you quite sure there was nothing of the kind before his marriage, if not after it?"
9808As he lighted his wife''s cigarette, Mr. Manley said in a careless tone:"What did Flexen want to see you about?"
9808But are you quite sure that the wound was n''t self- inflicted-- that it was n''t a case of suicide?"
9808But do you see anything to be gained by his making a pestiferous, scandal- mongering nuisance of himself?"
9808But how to get it out of him?
9808But what I came to ask you was: Did you, as you came through the library or went out through it, hear Lord Loudwater snore?"
9808But where''s the evidence that she talked to him about it?
9808But why does the hog make you this allowance?"
9808But why had Lady Loudwater lied about the snoring?
9808But why should Lord Loudwater have committed suicide?"
9808But why should she sit tongue- tied before the brute?
9808But will you be able to use her evidence in the first trial at the second?"
9808But would the strain on him be so heavy as it plainly was, if he knew himself to be innocent?
9808But would they commit murder to save some one else, one to save the other, for example, from such an injury?
9808But-- he paused, considering-- was it indifference?
9808By the way, is there anything in the way of insanity in Lady Loudwater''s family?"
9808CHAPTER V"Murdered?
9808CHAPTER XVI Mr. Flexen did find Mr. Carrington at his office, and Mr. Carrington''s first words were:"Well, have you found the mysterious woman?"
9808Could it be Colonel Grey?
9808Could she-- could she have known already?
9808Could they be shielding a third person?
9808Did n''t Dr. Thornhill say that the wound might have been self- inflicted?
9808Did she run, or walk quickly?"
9808Did she smack his face for him?"
9808Did she tell you anything about his lordship''s last quarrel with her ladyship?"
9808Did she think it would go on for ever?"
9808Did you by any chance, as you went in or came out, hear Lord Loudwater snore?
9808Did you hear any sound from the room?
9808Did you let him in?"
9808Did you?"
9808Do n''t they exist?"
9808Do you know who the man was that Loudwater was making a fuss about?"
9808Do you suppose that this Twitcher girl has talked to any one but you about it?"
9808Do you think that he was too upset to go to sleep last night?"
9808Do you think, because I do n''t spend four or five months every year in that rotten hole, London, I have n''t got any influence?
9808Do you understand?
9808Do you understand?"
9808Does she look like a woman to commit murder?"
9808Egbert?"
9808Egbert?"
9808Flexen?"
9808Flexen?"
9808For example, if I happened to know who had murdered Lord Loudwater and did not choose to tell, how could you make me?"
9808Grey, with a start, sat bolt upright, and in a tone of the last astonishment stammered:"K- K- Kill him?
9808Had he entered it and left it by the library window?
9808Has he been bullying you again?"
9808Have you any reason to believe that there was any other woman in Lord Loudwater''s life-- anything in the nature of an intrigue?
9808Have you been married long?"
9808Have you done it this morning, Clarke?"
9808He entered and said:"Yes, m''lord?"
9808He paused, then added in a thoughtful tone:"I wonder whether the war has weakened our conception of the sanctity of human life?"
9808He paused, then added in a tone of some anxiety:"I say, you''re not trying to mix her up with the murder-- if it was a murder?"
9808He paused, then said less loudly:"Knock?
9808He put his arm round her and said seriously"What is it, darling?
9808He said:"So James Hutchings came away last?"
9808He set the newspaper down beside the whisky- and- soda, leaned forward, and said in a hushed voice:"What the devil are you talking about?
9808He stopped and said thickly:"How long were they in the pavilion?"
9808Her two replies,"Oh, did you?"
9808Hey?
9808Hey?
9808Hey?
9808Hey?
9808Hey?
9808Hey?
9808Hey?
9808Hey?
9808Hey?
9808Hey?"
9808Hey?"
9808Hey?"
9808Hey?"
9808How can there be the attraction?
9808How is it to be done?"
9808How''s the play going?"
9808I ca n''t hurt the corespondent in a divorce case?
9808I take it that he''s very keen on his career in the Army?"
9808If a man could give such an impression of dangerousness with his voice, what would he be like in action?
9808If so, who was that third person?
9808In a less violent but more malevolent voice he said:"Silly?
9808In what way?"
9808Indeed, if John Pittaway were right, and there was to be no trial, where was his dramatic and impressive appearance at it?
9808Is your father in?"
9808Knock at the door of an infernal scoundrel like you?"
9808Knock?
9808Lord Loudwater finished the paragraph, scowled at the interrupter, and said:"Well, what is it?
9808Lord Loudwater?"
9808Me?
9808Me?"
9808Mr. Flexen frowned, considering; then he said:"Do you happen to know whether he employed any one besides your firm to do legal work for him?"
9808Mr. Flexen paused, considering; then he said:"And who was the next to leave?"
9808Mr. Manley hesitated; then he said:"And I suppose that I''d better be getting some one to make arrangements about the funeral?"
9808Mr. Manley looked at him gravely:"You have, have you?"
9808Or am I to throw you out of the room?"
9808Or what had one of them done?
9808She looked at Mr. Manley with horror- stricken eyes and said:"What-- what did he mean, Herbert?"
9808Suppose he saw me kiss you in the drive here and then followed us?"
9808Tea?"
9808The cock- and- bull story of a gamekeeper is hardly enough to found a divorce case on, is it?"
9808Then Mr. Flexen said:"Was Lord Loudwater the kind of man to confide in his lawyers?"
9808Then Mr. Manley said in a musing tone:"Do you suppose that Colonel Grey finds her simple?"
9808Then Olivia said:"And you did n''t mind?
9808Then an idea came to him: were they lying to shield the unknown woman with whom Lord Loudwater had had that violent quarrel?
9808Then he said:"And were you surprised at all at his doing this?"
9808Then he said:"By the way, do you know Colonel Grey?"
9808Then he said:"How long did Lord Loudwater sleep after dinner as a rule?
9808Then she said carelessly:"When are we going to tell people that we''re engaged?"
9808Then she said:"Do you mean that he''s going to be a cripple for life?"
9808Then she said:"It isn''t-- it is n''t a trap?"
9808Then she said;"Are you sure this wine''s corked?"
9808Truslove?"
9808Was he engaged in a love- affair with any woman, or had he been?"
9808Was he mixed up in the actual murder?
9808Was it anything out of the way in the way of quarrels?
9808Was it worth his while to look up the record of the third Lord Loudwater?
9808Was n''t Lord Loudwater always quarrelling with Lady Loudwater?
9808What about Hutchings?"
9808What about the Corrupt Practices Act?
9808What are you going to tell them?"
9808What could be their reason?
9808What could it be?
9808What did she know?
9808What did she know?
9808What did they know of the mystery?
9808What did they know?
9808What do you want?"
9808What else could it have been?"
9808What for should I go telling lies about''er?"
9808What had he better do?
9808What had she to hide?
9808What had they done?
9808What kind of a fellow was he?"
9808What kind of a man is he?"
9808What kind of a man is the Colonel?"
9808What kind of a trap?
9808What more of a case do you want?"
9808What on earth do you mean?"
9808What on earth had they done?
9808What on earth was she hiding?
9808What part had they played in it?
9808What time did he go to bed?"
9808What was his lordship going to do to her?"
9808What was the row about?"
9808What''s the matter?"
9808When they had gone he said:"Did you come across any information about that mysterious woman in the rest of the papers?"
9808Who is William Roper?
9808Whom was she screening?
9808Why should his employer allow her six hundred a year?
9808Why should she lie?
9808Will you?"
9808You can hardly expect a man, recovering very slowly from three bad wounds and still crocked up, to fall in love, can you?
9808You do n''t suspect her ladyship of having murdered Lord Loudwater?"
9808You do n''t think I was wrong to take it?"
9808You do n''t think that there is really anything serious between them?"
9808You married me when you actually thought I''d murdered Egbert?"
9808You thrash me?"
9808You?"
9808and"Has he?"
9808who has been staying down here?"
706''Bad news, I''m afraid?'' 706 ''Been an accident?''
706''But where can I get a horse?'' 706 ''Ca n''t I go by train?''
706''Call himself Raffles?'' 706 ''Do you know,''said this fellow Ewbank, who was one of the downright sort,''if it was n''t you, I should say you were in a funk of robbers?
706''Down the road?'' 706 ''No?''
706''Not at all,''says he;''did you not see the servant?'' 706 ''Not for me?''
706''That all? 706 ''Under the counter eh?''
706''What were they, then?'' 706 ''When did he arrive?''
706''While he gets through his window? 706 ''Who''s that knocking?''
706''Yes; did n''t you expect one?'' 706 Advisedly so, my dear Bunny; why spoil a pleasure trip by talking unnecessary shop?
706After taking both tickets yourself?
706After that,said Raffles, taking it,"what am I to say?
706All right?
706An old enemy?
706And I?
706And a winter at St. Moritz, or do you recommend Cannes or Cairo? 706 And are you coming in this ship?
706And do you suppose I should be keen on it if we had n''t?
706And he has?
706And here?
706And how do you mean to tackle this thing?
706And it''s essential that I should go in with you?
706And what''s to become o''me?
706And you wish us to STEAL this picture?
706And you wo n''t tell me how you got in?
706And you would really run the risk for four thousand pounds?
706And you''re going to him now?
706Are we to get the money from the jeweller?
706Are you going now?
706Are you sure?
706Are you sure?
706At two o''clock in the morning?
706Baird?
706Been in all the afternoon, likely?
706Before? 706 Beg yer pardon, Mr. Raffles, but you wo n''t say nothing about me?"
706Bunny, you''ve had your wind bagged at footer, I daresay; you know what that''s like? 706 But I understand you''re a cricketer yourself?"
706But how-- but where-- at such an hour?
706But how-- where-- who''s got it?
706But if anybody should look up from below?
706But is he the chap we have to deal with? 706 But is that wise when he''s the man we''ve got to diddle?"
706But look here, what do you mean?
706But on our beam- ends we are; we would do a good deal for a thousand pounds apiece, eh, Bunny?
706But surely I can see you again this afternoon?
706But that''s not all?
706But there was something about a risk?
706But this much you have done before?
706But what about this escape of the leader of the gang, that fellow Crawshay? 706 But what can have brought him?"
706But what is it all? 706 But what is there to tell?"
706But where will you be? 706 But who is he, Raffles?"
706But why are n''t they run in?
706But why should I give you a week? 706 But why should he come to town?"
706But you have no--"Experience? 706 But you might try the effect?"
706But you respect the law?
706But you said it did n''t matter about the room in Chelsea?
706But,said I,"if that was Mackenzie, who was the fellow you bolted from at Warbeck?"
706But,said Raffles,"surely it''s a clear case?
706Ca n''t you guess?
706Ca n''t you pick it?
706Can it be a coincidence-- is it somebody else he''s after?
706Coming after all?
706Could n''t your people do anything?
706Danby?
706Did I ever say I did n''t?
706Did I put this into your head, or were you going to do it in any case?
706Did I refuse to believe it of you?
706Did Lord Crowley tell you so?
706Did it hang over a window? 706 Did n''t you?"
706Did the mare carry you all the way back to Melbourne?
706Disguises? 706 Do you know him, then?"
706Do you mean to say you do n''t know a detective when you see one, Bunny?
706Do you prefer the alternative?
706Do you remember how we used to break into the studies at school? 706 Do you think he''s on Crawshay''s track?"
706Do you think you could bring it off?
706Do you think you would live happily?
706Done? 706 Doubles or quits?"
706Down?
706Drink whiskey and soda?
706Eh?
706Forgotten something?
706Got what?
706Got your gag?
706Grand thing, ai n''t it? 706 Had it in my head for long?"
706Have they committed any robberies?
706Have you dumped it overboard?
706Have you got the pluck?
706Have you killed him?
706Have you submid to be searge, or do I vorce you?
706How came you to begin?
706How can you?
706How did you know she was one?
706How did you manage it?
706How do YOU know?
706How do you know?
706How do you know?
706How have I given you away?
706How on earth are we to get through that?
706How so?
706How? 706 I daresay you wonder what I''ve been thinking about all this time?"
706I suppose they pay you pretty well for these, eh?
706I understood ye to say ye saw him go out?
706I?
706If he hears you?
706If that was n''t the fellow, which is?
706If you take it like that,he chuckled,"how will old Johnson take it?
706Illicit Diamond Buyer?
706In the eleven?
706Is he alive?
706Is it on board?
706Is n''t it packed up?
706Is that a fact?
706Is that a fact?
706Is there no one in the house, then?
706It does n''t occur to you that I might like to draw stumps, start clean, and live happily ever after-- in the bush?
706It wo n''t send you off in the pilot''s boat, Bunny?
706It''s here, joke apart?
706JACK-- RUTTER?
706Like it?
706Looking for the works of art?
706Looks pretty fresh for an Old Master, does n''t she?
706Mais comment est Madame la Marquise? 706 May I ask how you come to know so much about it?"
706May I ask what you gentlemen want?
706Meanwhile you use the place as a dressing- room?
706Money I would have-- but how-- but how? 706 Money?"
706Mr.--Glasspool?
706My good fellow, do you suppose the whole ship''s company knows there''s a gem like that aboard? 706 Necessity, my dear Bunny?
706Not at the table?
706Not come back for your revenge, have you? 706 Not even at a crime?"
706Now what?
706Now, will you let me pass or shall I do it here?
706Often?
706On land?
706On me?
706On the contrary, I went downstairs and straight into Lady Melrose''s room--"You did?
706Ou donc est l''ecrin de Madame la Marquise? 706 Put your own name?"
706Really?
706Say?
706Seen anything of him? 706 Shall I come now?"
706Shall I tell you how it happened?
706She got his mission out of him?
706Shooter?
706So it was mere chaff about your friend in Bond Street, who could let us have that money?
706So the fair Australian has been playing Delilah?
706So you got in by the window?
706So you have bowled me out in my turn?
706So you put that advertisement in the paper?
706So you saw my name in the list of passengers and came in search of me? 706 So you still mean to do it?"
706So you think it was that and nothing more?
706So you think of having a try for his diamonds yourself?
706So you thought something had happened?
706So you''re Mr. Raffles''s friend?
706So you''re the scoundrel, are you? 706 Sure you''re not still?"
706Surely only for the moment?
706Surely,said I,"we shall find him in bed and asleep?"
706Ten miles?
706Ten?
706That poor Mackenzie has a ball in his chest?
706The charming Miss Werner?
706The detective?
706The police?
706Then had n''t you better tell me what it is?
706Then how am I to help you?
706Then how came he to chase you?
706Then how do you know?
706Then we have only him to deal with?
706Then why come to me?
706Then why on earth go?
706Then why speak as though we were?
706Then you do n''t still think it too remarkable to sell?
706Then you have a flat somewhere?
706Then you have n''t seen Craggs yet?
706Then you mean to break in?
706Then you think he''s after you?
706Think you were traced to town?
706Thought you were bosom pals?
706To interfere?
706To- night, Raffles?
706WHAT?
706We are n''t found out, are we?
706Webbons you may not have,said the captain;"but wad aboud der bearl dat you were sdealing?"
706Well, Bunny,said Raffles,"so the professors have it, eh?"
706Well, then, what can I do for you?
706Well, what about the furniture?
706Well, what did he say?
706Well,I said,"it was n''t for Miss Werner you wanted us to play strangers, was it?
706Well,said I, returning his smile,"that''s not a charge that you can bring against yourself, is it?"
706Well? 706 Well?"
706Well?
706Well?
706Wha''do I care? 706 What am I to do?
706What are you going to do?
706What are you thinking of?
706What d''ye mean?
706What did he say?
706What do you mean?
706What do you think?
706What does Crawshay know about you?
706What else did you think?
706What else is there to do?
706What good would that do me? 706 What is it?"
706What made Mackenzie-- Clephane-- bolt?
706What now?
706What on earth are you driving at, Raffles?
706What on earth did you do?
706What on earth''s happened?
706What rotten trick are you going to play?
706What the devil''s all this?
706What time have I to be there?
706What was the good, my dear fellow? 706 What would you say if something had?
706What''s that?
706What''s the use?
706What''s this?
706What''s your number, you rotter? 706 What, then?"
706Where are you going?
706Where have YOU sprung from?
706Where have you brought me?
706Where in hell did you get hold o''that?
706Where shall I find you when I get away?
706Where?
706Who can have spread such rot?
706Who has seen them?
706Who was it?
706Who was that ran downstairs?
706Who''s this?
706Whort price thet brikewater-- old_ I.D.B._?
706Whort price thet brikewater?
706Why could n''t you tell me what you were going to do? 706 Why did I leave the bank first?
706Why do you start?
706Why not?
706Why should he be after you? 706 Why should he?"
706Why should the worst come to the worst?
706Why the devil could n''t you tell us so before?
706Why, Bunny, what''s wrong?
706Why, what do you mean to do?
706Why-- BUNNY?
706Why? 706 Why?"
706Will you let me pass?
706Will your rooms be near these?
706With that voice? 706 Without suspecting anything?"
706Wot''s the use? 706 Wull that do for ye?"
706Ye''ll just have left them?
706Ye''ll no mishandle it?
706Yet you would have listened to me the other day?
706You are in earnest?
706You did n''t know she was the daughter of a wealthy squatter?
706You do in your present mood; but who can back his mood to last? 706 You do n''t mean to say that you''ve applied?"
706You do n''t mean to say you''ve written for payment already?
706You found this out in Bremen?
706You give me your word?
706You hard up? 706 You know where he lives, then?"
706You mean it?
706You mean that I sha''n''t be suspected?
706You promise not to speak of it?
706You remember Milchester, Bunny, old boy?
706You remember the pearl you were so keen about, Bunny, the emperor''s pearl, the pearl money would n''t buy? 706 You seize the situation, Bunny?
706You take it I went in with my eyes open, as I do now, eh?
706You were HOPING it?
706You would knock him up at this hour of the night?
706You would n''t give me a hand another time?
706You''re certain you''ve given him the slip?
706You''re going for the picture while we''re at dinner?
706You''re going off to- night?
706You?
706''Did OLD Debenham admit the sale?''
706''Do you know what they are saying?
706''Who in blazes do you think you are?''
706A man''s reach must exceed his grasp, dear boy, or what the dickens is a heaven for?"
706A real desperate character-- what?
706A relation who was a high official in one of the banks, who would finance me on my mere name-- could anything be better?
706And to Naples, too?
706Another chance at baccarat?
706At last I whispered:"How on earth did you manage it?"
706But I hope Mackenzie saw your face?"
706But I wonder how the professors think of going to work?
706But do n''t you see?
706But is it really worth fifty thousand pounds-- a single pearl?"
706But speak to Sir Bernard I must, so will you write me one line to him on your card?
706But was n''t it Baird who took the emeralds?"
706But what of that, my good Bunny-- what of that?
706But where?
706But-- aren''t you frightened?"
706But--""You were better engaged?"
706Ca n''t you whistle for the police?"
706Can you forgive me?
706Can you swim?"
706Captain, we ca n''t escape; surely you could hush it up for the night?
706Could I not succeed?
706Could we let the murderer go?
706Did it look like a first attempt?
706Did you hear about the Thimbleby diamonds?
706Did you see his eye?
706Do you know who you''ve let slip, butter- fingers?
706Do you put yourself in my hands or do you not?
706Do you remember when I met you fellows?
706Do you see what day it is?"
706Do you seriously think he would sit there and knowingly watch his man playing pool under his nose?
706Does the painter paint for bread alone?
706Does the writer only write when the wolf is at the door?
706Eh, Bunny, my boy?
706Eh, Bunny?
706Engaged?
706Est elle bien?"
706Gentlemen and Players, if you recollect?"
706Had he been following Rosenthall''s example?
706Had he forgotten on what errand he himself was here?
706Have you lost your nerve?''
706He would return to his rooms, put Crawshay on his guard, and-- stow him away?
706He''s armed, is n''t he?
706How am I to sit here and believe that?"
706How long a rope, my lad?"
706How the deuce did you get in?"
706How was I to know you had anything on?"
706Human nature was a board of checkers; why not reconcile one''s self to alternate black and white?
706I ask you, was there ever a better get- out?
706I heard you had come in for money?"
706I said I thought I might, whereupon another question followed, in still lower and more thrilling accents:"Are you afraid of burglars?"
706I suppose you ca n''t swim under water at all?"
706I suppose you''re a horseman?''
706I take it you would n''t have refused your share if the boodle had fallen to us?
706I thought I had when I came up to you this evening; but when I looked out of your window-- you remember?
706I thought they paid so well?
706I told you about the forest of dead gums?
706I wonder if they''ve really got an accomplice in the house?
706I wonder if you''re like that now?"
706I''ll just be clappin''the derbies on these young sparks, an''then--""By what right?"
706If that gentleman was dead-- instead of coming to himself while I''m talking-- do you know what you''d be?
706If the three of us were caught here now, do you know what those consequences would be?
706In all these years how many blows have you known me to strike?
706Is n''t it great?
706Is n''t this enough for you?
706Is this von What''s- his- name a formidable cuss?"
706Lowered the jewel- case out of the window, did he?
706Mackenzie?"
706Mind touching that bell?
706Miss Werner, may I introduce him?"
706Must you and I be DRIVEN to crime like Tom of Bow and Dick of Whitechapel?
706Must you have his name too?
706My dear sir, do you expect your bank robber to let you reach for your gun in the place where he knows it''s kept?
706NINE POINTS OF THE LAW"Well,"said Raffles,"what do you make of it?"
706Now, are you ready?"
706Of course that''s no excuse; but will you listen to me-- for two minutes?"
706P 34?
706Plucky smart you thought yerself, did n''t you?
706Raffles tell you priceless treasure I got in there?"
706Raffles?"
706Raffles?"
706Raffles?''
706Remember it, Bunny?
706So you thought I was really gone?
706Suppose I left him to find out his mistake... would anything be gained?
706Suppose you know what he came to see me about?
706Surely he was not going into the Albany like that?
706Surely that entitles him, at all events, to see any fun that''s going?
706That reminds me that I never paid for them; but, by Jove, I will to- morrow, and if that is n''t poetic justice, what is?
706That''s to say, if you''re really on?"
706The florid, over- dressed chap who I told you was one of the cleverest thieves in town?"
706Then why was Raffles going to desert us all?
706Theory, my dear Bunny?
706There now, where is''t?"
706They''d have caught a Tartar in you, eh?''
706Was he determined that this night should end in black disaster?
706Was it my imagination, or did Raffles look slightly ashamed?
706Was it possible to be entirely honest?
706Was it too late?
706Was there no way?
706Well?
706What did they fetch?"
706What do you mean?
706What do you think of that, Bunny?"
706What do you think of that, eh?"
706What does it matter now?
706What have I done?"
706What hermit were we going to startle in his cell?
706What makes you think so?
706What more could we do?"
706What near relatives has he got?"
706What the devil was I to do?
706What was the meaning of this insane promise?
706What would be the good?
706What''s done it?''
706What''s happened to you?
706What''s he here for?
706What''s it all mean?"
706What''s it mean, Raffles?
706What''s the satisfaction of taking a man''s wicket when you want his spoons?
706What''s your own theory?"
706Where was he caught?"
706Where''s Crowley?"
706Where''s that mask?"
706Where''s the harm?"
706Whiskey?
706Who knows?
706Why could n''t you trust me?
706Why desire to be all one thing or all the other, like our forefathers on the stage or in the old- fashioned fiction?
706Why do n''t you turn me out?"
706Why do you ask?"
706Why must you lie?"
706Why not come down to Esher yourself by the last train?
706Why settle down to some humdrum uncongenial billet, when excitement, romance, danger and a decent living were all going begging together?
706Why should I tell him?
706Why should I work when I could steal?
706Why should n''t we watch the house together?"
706Will you come round now?"
706Will you come?"
706Will you stand aside, or d''ye want it yourself?"
706Wo n''t the pearl be in the purser''s keeping?"
706Would n''t think it had been painted two hundred and thirty years?
706Would this stranger be open to persuasion-- if I told him the truth?
706Yet-- you saw old Lady Melrose''s necklace?
706You do n''t suppose I prefer foul play to fair, do you?
706You do n''t think you were seen?"
706You have some deeper game than that, eh?"
706You know I dropped over two hundred just now?"
706You remember the fellow we saw in the inn?
706You talk as though we were sitting in a club; do n''t you know it''s one o''clock in the morning, and the lights on, and a dead man down below?
706You think the luck must turn; suppose it did n''t?
706You want me to join you, I suppose?
706You wo n''t forget them, will you?"
706You would n''t have had me advertise the fact that I improved upon the bank''s regulations, would you?''
706You would stick at nothing for a pal-- what?"
706You''re never going to leave me to be landed alone?"
706and she promptly told you?"
706before you left?
706is?"
706so they are being watched?"
57314A case in some way connected with the law, I suppose?
57314A fine set of Cellini plate, I presume?
57314Ah, how do you do, Mr. Masefield? 57314 Am I to come with you now?"
57314And Padini?
57314And about when would that be?
57314And did the expedition come up to expectations?
57314And had n''t I got my work to do?
57314And what are you going to do now?
57314And what class of people live there?
57314And what is the upshot of all this to be?
57314And what might be your business with me, inspector?
57314Annoying enough,Rigby agreed;"but is the muffler in question so very much out of the common?"
57314Anybody else inside the cab?
57314Anything fresh in regard to the affair you mean?
57314Anything happened?
57314Are we all here, or is Carrington late again? 57314 Are we going straight away to Montrose Place?"
57314Are we going to stand fooling here all night?
57314Are you and Serena alone in the house?
57314Are you quite sure of that?
57314Are you there?
57314Before I proceed any further, may I ask your lordship if you will have Sir Frederick Ormond called? 57314 But I always understood that Scotland Yard employed detectives of all nationalities?"
57314But how did you know we were here at all?
57314But how does that concern you?
57314But how does this give Anstruther such a hold on you?
57314But how is Anstruther going to make use of''Simple Charlie''so long as the latter is in our hands? 57314 But it is usual to pledge such valuable jewels in this casual way?"
57314But suppose you have a dear friend in whom you are interested? 57314 But surely you see something?"
57314But tell me, has anything fresh happened since last night?
57314But the pawnbrokers?
57314But what are the police going to do about it, Mr. Masefield? 57314 But what could he possibly gain by that?"
57314But where''s the person in the room who let the young lady in? 57314 But why be so fearfully afraid of Anstruther?"
57314But why did Anstruther desire to have you put out of the way like that?
57314But why did you not tell me that our mysterious friend was practically a hunchback?
57314But you do n''t suggest that the man really was made up, do you?
57314But you do n''t suppose that Mr. Anstruther knows?
57314But, surely,he urged,"you would be doing no harm in telling us if a foreign gentleman called here last night?"
57314Can you bring this about? 57314 Can you make nothing of her features?"
57314Can you tell us where they come from?
57314Could n''t you let me see it for a minute or two? 57314 Could you come home with me?
57314Did Anstruther go out again last night? 57314 Did I not say that Anstruther and Co. would very kindly get the caretakers out of the way for us?
57314Did n''t you get my telephone message?
57314Did n''t you see anything, sir?
57314Did n''t you tell me that the police had no special orders as far as the bank was concerned? 57314 Did they go back in the direction of Anstruther''s house?
57314Did you ever chance to hear of a man called Padini?
57314Did you ever hear anything like it? 57314 Did you ever know of a case in point?"
57314Did you ever see the evil face in the heart of a pansy blossom?
57314Did you find anything of the missing stuff?
57314Did you happen to see anything of Padini?
57314Did you hear that?
57314Did you see nothing?
57314Did you take any particular note of the man''s appearance?
57314Do n''t you agree with me that this strange apparition has something to do with the story? 57314 Do n''t you remember me interviewing you for the_ Planet?_ I happened to be in the hotel, and I thought I would look you up.
57314Do n''t you see that she was talking to us? 57314 Do n''t you think it is rather late to- night?"
57314Do n''t you think that you had better search his pockets?
57314Do you call Zimburg a really clever detective?
57314Do you come quietly, or are you going to take it fighting?
57314Do you happen to have such a thing as a paint- box and a brush on the premises?
57314Do you know this is likely to cost Lord Barmouth something like fifty thousand pounds? 57314 Do you mean to say we are going to keep a vigil there to- night?"
57314Do you mean to say you are going to begin at once?
57314Do you mean to say you could forget a thing like that?
57314Do you mean to tell me that you have not had a visit to- day from Signor Padini?
57314Do you really think that is paper?
57314Do you really think that our friend actually engineered that business at Lord Longworth''s?
57314Do you really think you could open this?
57314Do you think he is likely to be of any assistance to me?
57314Do you want to take one?
57314Does anything strike you?
57314Dog, is it you?
57314For instance, you can tell me what brings you here to- night?
57314Friend of yours by any chance, sir?
57314Funny thing, is n''t it, that you and I should be conspiring here, within a pistol shot of Shannon Street police station? 57314 Going to make it all smooth for us, are you?
57314Good gracious, man, have you no pluck at all? 57314 Had not you better go down and arouse my guardian?"
57314Have n''t you any idea who she is?
57314Have n''t you got anybody on your staff with a knowledge of international crime?
57314Have you a feeling, like myself, of having gone through all this before?
57314Have you a wife depending on you, or one you love? 57314 Have you any more left?"
57314Have you any reason to show why I should not take you straight to Bow Street on the charge of burglary?
57314Have you discovered who it was?
57314Have you got keys of all these?
57314Have you seen Seymour in the daylight, just as he is?
57314Have you seen a ghost or something equally terrible?
57314How am I to know what Anstruther wants unless he tells me beforehand? 57314 How are you getting on?
57314How are you going to manage that?
57314How can I possibly tell? 57314 How could you prove such a statement?"
57314How did it come about, Jack?
57314How did you manage it?
57314How do you manage then?
57314How is it you never bring your violin up to the drawing- room?
57314How long have you been in the house?
57314How now, you secret, black, and midnight hags?
57314How on earth did you manage that?
57314I hope nothing wrong has happened?
57314I mean, did you see any of it?
57314I should like nothing better than a chance to discuss this matter at length-- but Lord Barmouth? 57314 I suppose any slight alteration makes a difference in the photograph?"
57314I suppose there is some hidden meaning behind it?
57314I suppose you can understand what is said to you?
57314I suppose you have got one of our old lassos amongst your baggage? 57314 I suppose you were not very faraway?"
57314I suppose your friend explained to you that this little job will put twenty pounds in your pocket? 57314 In that case,"Jack said,"is it not a strange coincidence that they should be manufacturing these Nostalgo posters?
57314In what way have I been mistaken?
57314Is it not time that we declared ourselves?
57314Is it possible he has vanished through the skylight?
57314Is it possible that this burglary was the work of some guests invited to the house?
57314Is it some new science?
57314Is it too much to hope that you can cure me as you cured my friend Ferris?
57314Is n''t it wonderful? 57314 Is that you, Inspector Bates?"
57314Is the window always left open?
57314Is there any more to be done to- night?
57314Is there anything I can do for you?
57314Is there no such thing as bail?
57314Is this the best thing Anstruther can do at a critical moment like this? 57314 Jack, what is the meaning of this strange mystery?
57314Jack, you have found something out?
57314May I intrude upon you for another five minutes? 57314 Mortgaged or sold?"
57314Must I really tell you that?
57314My dear boy, what is the matter?
57314My good sir, do you know that we have some two thousand five hundred accounts at our City branch? 57314 No damage done, eh?"
57314Nobody could tamper with it during the time you had it, I suppose?
57314Not even a laundry mark?
57314Now I put it to you, as a man supposed to be possessed of sense-- would any thief leave a single item of value behind?
57314Now, are you quite sure you have made no mistake about your master? 57314 Now, what do you make of that?"
57314Now, what do you think of that?
57314Now, what on earth are you driving at, guv''nor?
57314Now, what''s the matter?
57314Now, where have I seen that fellow before?
57314Oh, dear, no,Nostalgo said;"do you suppose that I can think of no more terrible revenge than that?
57314Oh, must we really go into that?
57314Oh, my dear Serena, how could you go off like that; how could you leave us all without a word or a sign? 57314 Oh, my last fare, is it?
57314Oh, that foreign- looking chap, is it?
57314Oh, what is the use of wasting your time and mine like this?
57314Oh, you will not laugh at me, you will not make fun of what I am going to say? 57314 Or, where did those medicine men derive their knowledge of surgery?
57314Paper, sir?
57314Perhaps you can tell me the story of the burglary?
57314Perhaps you have heard of the Nostalgo devil whom I found dead the other night in Panton Square? 57314 Quite so, inspector; but does that apply to the harmless, necessary mustard advertisement?"
57314Shall we stop here, or do you want to proceed further before you go to bed?
57314She did not write to you, she did not communicate with you in any way?
57314So you are none the worse for your last night''s adventure, Serena? 57314 So you have actually seen the man before?"
57314So you know that sorry blackguard, do you?
57314Something strange come out at the inquest?
57314Something that affects my husband''s case?
57314Surely I put two on the table? 57314 Surely my eyes did not deceive me, surely I saw two men in a death struggle there as I came into the courtyard?"
57314Tell me, tell me,he said,"do you think you can recollect the names of all the pieces that Anstruther played last night?
57314That letter came from another business house, I presume, sir?
57314Then you ca n''t help me out in this way?
57314Then you ca n''t tell us anything about them?
57314Then you do n''t even know who printed the posters?
57314Then, what about the electric light?
57314There, what did I tell you?
57314Trick be hanged, suppose that I indulge in practical joking? 57314 Very effective, is it not?"
57314Was he rude, or did he use anything like violence?
57314Was there a break at all in the performance?
57314We know he is dead; did we not read it in the papers? 57314 Well, what do you think of that?"
57314Well?
57314Were the jewels paid for in cash?
57314What are we going to do?
57314What are you going to do now?
57314What are you going to do?
57314What are you thinking about, Jack?
57314What class of man was the fellow who insisted on pushing his way into the house like this? 57314 What did I tell you?"
57314What did she say? 57314 What did you do that for?
57314What did you expect me to say?
57314What do you make of that?
57314What do you mean by asking that question?
57314What do you mean by hiding yourself here? 57314 What do you mean by keeping me waiting all this time?"
57314What do you mean by three?
57314What do you mean? 57314 What do you propose to do now?"
57314What do you suppose Anstruther is up to?
57314What do you think of that, my friend? 57314 What do you think of that?
57314What does all this acting lead to?
57314What have any of us done to bring ourselves within the reach of the law-- at present? 57314 What have you to say for yourself?"
57314What is all this row about?
57314What is it?
57314What is that sigh for?
57314What is the blackguard doing in my study? 57314 What is the good of trying to establish all sorts of new theories when you have not so much as a dead body of the deceased man before you?
57314What is the use of wasting my time like this?
57314What is to be done next?
57314What object do you expect to gain by this course?
57314What on earth is the matter?
57314What was that idea of yours about the cotton waste?
57314What was the strange thing that you noticed about your guardian''s playing?
57314What would you have of me to- night?
57314What''s the matter?
57314What''s the programme?
57314What, do you mean a new projectile or a new sort of small arm?
57314Where are you going to?
57314Where are you speaking from?
57314Where is it going to end? 57314 Which did not attract your attention?
57314Who are you that you should have all the luck like this? 57314 Who are you?"
57314Who are you?
57314Who is that loafer yonder?
57314Who is this mystic conveyance for, I wonder-- the man or the woman?
57314Who the deuce are you?
57314Whoever would have thought it? 57314 Whose features does it remind you of just now, Jack?"
57314Why did Anstruther cause all those posters to be placed on the principal hoardings of London?
57314Why did you allow him to follow us here at all? 57314 Why do you come and bully a poor woman like this?"
57314Why do you stand like a schoolboy staring into a shop window? 57314 Why not make a clean breast of it?
57314Why so grave and silent?
57314Why so silent?
57314Will you be good enough to step inside my room?
57314Will you be good enough to step this way for a moment?
57314Will you get up, please?
57314Will you take a seat for a moment, Lady Barmouth?
57314Would n''t it be as well,he suggested,"that you also found it convenient to pass the night at the Great Metropolitan?
57314Would you like to see Bates now?
57314Would you mind describing what you saw?
57314Would you mind giving me the score? 57314 Would you mind playing me one?"
57314Would you mind telling me what he is wearing?
57314Would you mind telling me what it is?
57314Would you mind telling me who that is?
57314You can not get the jewels yourself?
57314You can not wish it more than I do, sweetheart,Jack murmured;"but do n''t you see that it was almost necessary?
57314You did not follow them further, I suppose?
57314You do not imagine for a moment that he is aware of the fact that Serena is Lady Barmouth''s sister?
57314You had no notion of the magician''s name, then?
57314You have not traveled much, I presume?
57314You have utterly forgotten one thing-- did you not tell me there were two night watchmen on the premises?
57314You kept it under lock and key?
57314You think Lord Barmouth and James Smith are the same person?
57314You were not taken into the secret?
57314Your master in?
57314''Ow long since anybody has lived there?"
573142, so to speak, and Lord Barmouth are not the same man?
57314About the jewels, I mean?"
57314After this, perhaps, you may be disposed to say more on the subject?"
57314Again, why should he doubt the fact that something terribly out of the common had happened to Rigby after his own amazing experiences?
57314Ah, what did I tell you?"
57314Ai n''t you going to buy one?"
57314And after all said and done, what is your crime?
57314And all the time they were some two miles apart?"
57314And now tell me, to change the subject, what is your private opinion of Spencer Anstruther?"
57314And supposing that Anstruther knew all this?
57314And that friend had done somebody a great wrong?
57314And where do you suppose I found that to- night?
57314And who am I, a humble servant like me, to ask questions of my master?"
57314And yet the whole thing can be explained; I am sure you can explain it yourself if you like?"
57314And, besides, why do so many unfortunate people come to him to advise them, which he does with great trouble to himself and no hope of reward?"
57314And, if it comes to that, what are you doing here too?"
57314Anything of value inside?"
57314Anything original to- night?"
57314Are we going to learn anything, I wonder?"
57314Are you attempting to get rid of those damning marks that you and I are meant to carry to the grave-- those marks of a scoundrel''s vengeance?"
57314As man to man, is he a magnificent genius or the greatest criminal the world has ever seen?"
57314As to myself----""But have you no private safe of your own?"
57314Bates?"
57314Bates?"
57314Besides, how are we to know how many other Nostalgos have not dropped into Anstruther''s net through those diabolical posters?"
57314Bit of burglary, ai n''t it?"
57314But are you quite sure that the figure you saw in the courtyard at Montrose Place last night was my husband?
57314But as to Anstruther?"
57314But perhaps you know who she is?"
57314But tell me now, do you see any likeness between Anstruther and myself?"
57314But tell me, are your affairs in such a state as that?"
57314But tell me, does Lord Barmouth take any kind of interest in these festivities of yours?"
57314But what are you driving at?"
57314But what have you been doing to your face?
57314But what is more to the point, I want to know what has become of my brother?"
57314But when is this little comedy of yours coming off?
57314But who can say what was uppermost in the mind of Anstruther?
57314But who is she?"
57314But why are you so curious about this scarf?"
57314But why do you ask?"
57314But why do you so suddenly spring this question upon me?"
57314But why stay here, why linger, when your tardiness is likely to increase our trouble?"
57314But you are a man of pluck and courage-- why ca n''t_ you_ fight him in the open?
57314By so doing, also, we should upset the delicate schemes of Anstruther--?"
57314By the way, did n''t you tell me that you were going to see Miss Helmsley to- night?
57314By the way, is n''t Masefield a friend of yours?"
57314Ca n''t you guess that there is something more than meets the eye here?"
57314Ca n''t you recognize the voice?
57314Ca n''t you smell it?"
57314Ca n''t you tell us exactly what is puzzling you?"
57314Can I take that for granted?"
57314Can you suggest any common sense solution?"
57314Can you tell me anything about him?
57314Can you tell us a good way of getting into the house without playing the burglar?"
57314Claire asked,"some wonderful new discovery that Mr. Anstruther is perfecting before he submits it to the world?"
57314Confess it now: did not you regard me as a poor dependent of Mr. Anstruther''s, without so much as a penny of my own?
57314Could it have been possible that this new artist had been concealed in the Panton Square library two nights before?
57314Diamonds, were n''t they?"
57314Dick, is it too late to get a paragraph inserted in to- morrow''s_ Planet?_""Oh, dear, no,"Rigby explained.
57314Did I never tell you of the jewels that my grandmother left me?"
57314Did Masefield notice anything about it peculiar?
57314Did anybody happen to notice the firm whose hoarding the deceased man was found against?"
57314Did it ever occur to you that Anstruther is not unlike those pictures?"
57314Did n''t you suppose that I cared?
57314Did not appeal to your suspicions, I mean?"
57314Did she understand what she was doing when she proposed to measure her strength against his?
57314Did they take a cab?
57314Did you ever hear Mr. Anstruther play in that style and manner before?
57314Did you ever meet an individual out there called Seymour?"
57314Did you follow me just now?
57314Did you happen to notice if Padini was wearing a Homburg hat this afternoon?"
57314Did you keep your cab?"
57314Did you notice anything strange about the appearance of Barmouth as he came into the room to- night-- that he was humpbacked or misshapen in any way?"
57314Did you notice that particular slur, that strange half hesitation?
57314Did, for instance, Anstruther believe in the legends of terrible revenges which these people used to inflict upon their enemies?
57314Distinctly annoying, do n''t you think?"
57314Do I interest you?"
57314Do n''t those briefs come in as freely as you would like?
57314Do n''t you recall how Anstruther breaks out into yellow patches when he is excited or angry?
57314Do n''t you recollect the case of the Ph[oe]nix Park murders?
57314Do n''t you see how easy he can prove an alibi?
57314Do n''t you think we are rather making a mountain out of a molehill?
57314Do you follow me?"
57314Do you follow?"
57314Do you get my voice quite clearly?"
57314Do you happen to know any of the titled women who are asked?
57314Do you happen to remember Ferris?"
57314Do you know anybody who could help us?"
57314Do you know that unfortunate lady?"
57314Do you know who this fellow is?"
57314Do you know you are dealing with a gentleman and man of honor?"
57314Do you mean to say that he has been here to- night?"
57314Do you mean to say you have met Ferris?"
57314Do you suppose I do not know how disloyal you are in your heart towards me?
57314Do you suppose that noise was heard outside?
57314Do you think I have studied you all these years for nothing?
57314Do you think it possible that Serena could enlighten us on this point as she appears to know all about it?
57314Do you think it wise to remain in sight, and thus give him a chance to recognize you?"
57314Do you want any greater proof than that, that Seymour was working in my own rooms to- night?"
57314Do you want me to come along with you now?"
57314Do you want to earn an extra half- sovereign?"
57314Do you want your jewels in such a hurry?"
57314Does anybody suspect us?
57314Does not the outline of her figure give you something to go on?"
57314Does that satisfy you?"
57314Eh, what?"
57314Elegant, is it not?
57314Foreigner, ai n''t he?"
57314GEMS OR PASTE?
57314Gems Or Paste?
57314Had the conference next door finished, or was it merely an interlude?
57314Has Anstruther''s clever scheme come to the knowledge of anybody?
57314Have I not guessed it correctly?"
57314Have I seen anything, or do I know anything of this Padini?
57314Have they offered any reward for the discovery of the body?"
57314Have you fixed upon him yet?"
57314Have you published anything at all?"
57314He could n''t very well play a piece he had never heard, now could he?
57314How did he manage it?"
57314How do you propose to get at the facts?"
57314How goes the music?
57314How is it that you can find your way about this house in so familiar a manner?"
57314How much over ten thousand pounds would this fetch at Christie''s?
57314I dare say you have some quiet country place that we could go to?"
57314I expect my case puzzled the doctor, did it not?"
57314I have no doubt that, being a detective, you have such a thing in your pocket at the present moment?
57314I hope you understood that I was speaking to you?"
57314I mean the man whose body so mysteriously vanished from the Shannon Street station?"
57314I presume there will be some sort of proceedings against Anstruther this morning?"
57314I suppose it would be too much to ask you to play something to me?
57314I suppose that Carrington is a friend of Anstruther''s?"
57314I suppose that was all right?"
57314I suppose there is not the slightest chance of your guardian coming up to- night?"
57314I suppose we had better leave all that there; look better, do n''t you think?"
57314I suppose you can pretty well guess what''s going to happen?
57314I suppose you did n''t happen to see him when he came in?"
57314I suppose you have got some matches in your pocket?"
57314I suppose you have seen nothing of him-- a tall, slim young man, with rather a fierce type of moustache?"
57314I suppose you know where it is kept?"
57314I tell you that----""Is that really you, Jack?"
57314I wonder if my friend the inspector will be disposed to accept my suggestion?"
57314If not, why does she look at Padini in that scornful way?"
57314In any case, why worry about him to- night?
57314Interrupting my narrative for a moment-- have either of you ever noticed a faint resemblance between Anstruther and any other Nostalgo like myself?"
57314Is it about Carrington?
57314Is it all that time?
57314Is it to be nothing but Chopin to- night?"
57314Is it your intention to prove that on the Cellini plate marks have been found corresponding with the lines on the prisoner''s hand?"
57314Is not that so?"
57314Is that coincidence or an amazing happening?"
57314Is that him playing now, Jack?"
57314Is that so?"
57314Is that the letter on the table?"
57314Is the woman here?"
57314Is there anything more I can do for you?"
57314Is there anything more to wait for?"
57314It occurred to Jack, in an idle kind of way, that perhaps Carrington was deceiving Anstruther, or why had he not come straight to the hotel?
57314Jack asked-- his fears had rendered him a little impatient,"and what have you to be afraid of?
57314Jack, am I suddenly growing nervous or fanciful?
57314Jack, do n''t you notice something strange about it?"
57314Lady Barmouth cried;"but what about me?"
57314Let''s go and call upon the beggar, shall we?
57314Masefield was dressed for the part, so to speak, and would he not remain?
57314Masefield?"
57314Masefield?"
57314Masefield?"
57314May I ask, have you ever been in Mexico?"
57314May I be allowed to make a statement?"
57314Might I beg the favor of a card for a friend of mine?"
57314Miss Helmsley, whose face does this saffron heart of the pansy remind you of?"
57314My dearest boy, do you want me to go down on my knees, and implore you to marry me?
57314My sister in the house of that man?
57314Need I go into the matter of that service of Cellini plate?"
57314Need I say any more?"
57314Need I say that I am alluding to Lady Barmouth''s?"
57314No ghosts about here, I suppose?"
57314No palmistry, I presume?"
57314No?
57314Nobody else touched it?"
57314Nobody interrupting you-- seen nothing of the police or anything of that kind?"
57314Now can you tell me anything?"
57314Now what do you make of that?"
57314Now what does this mean?
57314Now which is it to be?"
57314Now who is he, and how does he know all this?"
57314Now, can you tell me that?"
57314Now, did you ever notice his likeness to anybody?
57314Now, do n''t you think that those people must have been of an exceedingly high state of civilization?"
57314Now, do you think he had anything to do with last night''s business; otherwise what do you suppose he called for?"
57314Now, do you think you could find that programme for me?
57314Now, frankly speaking, are you not a little puzzled to know how to lay Anstruther by the heels?"
57314Now, has this any important bearing on the case?"
57314Now, how did you know that we were in the same bedroom together?"
57314Now, is there anything else we can do to- night?
57314Now, tell me if my suspicions are correct-- is not this''Seymour''and our missing Nostalgo one and the same person?
57314Now, tell me, was the man I speak of a visitor to this house last night?
57314Now, this John Smith----""Which John Smith?"
57314Now, what is he up to?"
57314Now, you are a clever man, quite the cleverest man I have ever met-- can you show me any way out of the difficulty?"
57314Of course you know Mr. Spencer Anstruther very well by name?"
57314Of course, you have got the cash in your pocket?"
57314Of course, you know how Anstruther is dressed?"
57314Of course, you see the importance of finding out who posted that bill?"
57314Or have you been quarreling?"
57314Pretty hot, is n''t it?
57314Really, now, was that unfortunate man so very like the wonderful poster of which London has had to say so much of late?"
57314Rigby asked,"or would you not like to see Barmouth first?"
57314Seen the_ Planet_ to- day?
57314Shall I call a cab for you, my lord?
57314Shall I come round there, or will you come round here?
57314Shall we ask him in?"
57314Shall we take a cab, or would it not be more safe for us to walk?"
57314Shall we wait on events, or shall we open the window and yell for assistance?
57314Singular, was it not?"
57314So long as it is daylight, I do n''t think we have much to fear from Anstruther and Co. Do you think the light shows through the window?"
57314Sort of striking theatrical get- up, do n''t you think?"
57314Suppose that the whole dramatic thing had failed in its purpose?
57314Supposing that the bank was mysteriously robbed-- the safes forced open and all that kind of thing?"
57314Surely you can tell me the name of it and where it came from?"
57314Surely you would not punish yourself for that which was after all merely an act of girlish folly?"
57314Surely your own experience must have taught you what strange creatures one often sees as caretakers in good houses?"
57314Tell me, have you ever seen it before?"
57314The point is, do you know him?"
57314The question is, what are you going to do?"
57314To carry the thing to a logical conclusion, if Barmouth had been like that when he went away, why should he be so dreadfully troubled about it now?"
57314WHAT DID SHE KNOW?
57314WHICH MAN WAS IT?
57314Was Anstruther, therefore, a consummate master of his art or a showy humbug or charlatan?
57314Was he wrapped up or shawled in any way?"
57314Was it a police matter?
57314Was it possible that imagination had played some trick on her?
57314Was no one about-- was the whole place deserted, whereby some stranger could have coolly stepped in and walked off with the body of a powerful man?"
57314Was she going to be defiant?
57314Was the thing a failure, or were you satisfied?"
57314Was this one of Anstruther''s cases, or did it possess a far deeper significance?
57314Were you satisfied just now?
57314What Did She Know?
57314What can Lady Barmouth''s brother have to do with it?"
57314What do I mean?
57314What do you make it out to be?"
57314What do you propose to do?
57314What do you think of it-- old oak and old blue china with Flemish pictures of the best school?
57314What do you think of those?"
57314What does it all mean?"
57314What does it mean?"
57314What does the inspector think of our little scheme?"
57314What have I done that I should have to endure all this-- what can be possibly gained by it?"
57314What is that I see down below?
57314What is worrying you so much, dearest?"
57314What on earth did it all mean?
57314What other conclusion do you come to than that Carrington is returning presently, and is bringing a friend with him?"
57314What then?
57314What time did he come?"
57314What was I after?
57314What was the number of his room?"
57314What were those people inside going to do?
57314What were you doing in Mr. Carrington''s flat last night?"
57314What would you say if I were to prophesy that you are going to add largely to your treasures in the course of the next few days?
57314What''s that?"
57314What?
57314What?
57314When Anstruther locked that bedroom door just now, do you really suppose he imagined there was anybody on the premises?"
57314Where does he get those wonderful embroidered scarves from?"
57314Where is the other?"
57314Which Man Was It?
57314Who on earth do you suppose is in the house?"
57314Who, then, was it who fired the bullet?"
57314Why did Anstruther publish those Nostalgo posters at all?"
57314Why do n''t you go about your business and leave me to mine?"
57314Why not come with me and see Mr. Seymour now?"
57314Why not go outside and tell everybody what we are going to do?
57314Why not, therefore, leave him and throw in your lot with us?"
57314Why should he interest himself in an apparently broken- down hypochondriac?
57314Why should we keep the matter a secret?
57314Why, then, was he so callous on this occasion?
57314Will the gentleman kindly seal the packet, and will another gentleman kindly offer to take care of it?"
57314Will you be so good as to hand me over my jewels?"
57314Will you obey me or not?"
57314Will you please look at it carefully?"
57314Will you please take a seat?"
57314Will you see if he is ready to receive me?"
57314Without going into details, shall I be successful?
57314Wo n''t you go away even now and leave it all to me?"
57314Wonderful work, is it not?"
57314Would it surprise you to know that this Padini is the husband of the poor woman who has just gone out?"
57314Would n''t it be a fine thing to earn that reward?"
57314Would n''t it be a good thing to find out if Anstruther had ever been to Mexico?"
57314Would the footman go up- stairs and announce that Mr. Masefield was wanted, in a loud voice?
57314Would you be surprised to hear that this young man was no less a person than Signor Padini?"
57314Would you like to walk to Bow Street, or shall I call a cab?"
57314You are not going already, Jack?
57314You are not going already?"
57314You are rather surprised to find anything of this kind here, eh?"
57314You are sure that my guardian is not in his study, Jack?"
57314You do n''t suggest that Anstruther carried that service of plate home with him?"
57314You have been in Mexico?"
57314You have found out the source of those Nostalgo posters?"
57314You have heard of this new violinist, Signor Padini, I suppose?"
57314You have n''t bad news for me, Jack?"
57314You have n''t?
57314You have seen him when he has been greatly moved to passion, I suppose?"
57314You have?
57314You know the City and Provincial Bank?"
57314You know what it represents, of course?"
57314You understand what I mean?"
57314You will not deny your identity?"
57314You will recollect meeting me at Carrington''s last night?"
57314You will undergo the operation?"
57314You would give a great deal, I suppose, to know where those valuables are?"
57314You would not, of course, mind meeting these people?"
57314_ Now_ will you come inside my room?"
57314do you see that?"
57314he whispered;"are you there?
57314the latter said,"where did you turn up from?
57314why do you hesitate?"
57314why does n''t she speak?
9853Am I never to be free from the terror of this mystery? 9853 And what are you going to do now?"
9853And what does this mean?
9853And what is that?
9853And whence comes his intimate knowledge of the house?
9853And who was it suggested that you should bring her to me?
9853And you mean to say that you have been actually face to face with our cripple friend?
9853Anything fresh? 9853 Are you going to tell me why you left me so mysteriously on our wedding day?
9853As to the girl, why, I naturally expected--"Who gave you the right to expect?
9853But do n''t you think you had better open the parcel? 9853 But do not be afraid-- the vengeance will not fall yet, for are not the warnings still incomplete?
9853But do you know what they were doing?
9853But do you think that it is quite safe for you to come here so soon? 9853 But how can you know anything about me?"
9853But how did you find her?
9853But is n''t it a strange thing that you should be an absolute stranger to Fenwick?
9853But is she really equal to the excitement of it?
9853But is there no chance of Fenwick coming back?
9853But suppose Lord Merton objects to the arrangement?
9853But unless he wanted to let it, why did he put it in your hands?
9853But what can I do?
9853But what possible connection is there between the caretaker and his snuff--?
9853But where does it go to?
9853But who are you?
9853But why did you not take me to the front door, or the back entrance leading to the garden? 9853 But why shield such a blackguard at all?"
9853But you do n''t mean to tell me,Gurdon murmured,"that the lady in question is the daughter of that picturesque- looking old ruffian, Mark Fenwick?"
9853Ca n''t I stay a little longer?
9853Ca n''t you give us his address,Venner asked,"and let us write to him direct?
9853Ca n''t you guess?
9853Ca n''t you leave me alone for half an hour when I am having my dinner? 9853 Could any human being have descended lower than you have descended?
9853Could you be any blacker?
9853Did n''t you hear a voice? 9853 Did n''t you tell me that the mysterious waiter fetched it from the table where it had been placed by the handsome cripple?"
9853Do I know the name of the man?
9853Do n''t you remember that night on the Bowery when I was fortunate enough to help you to lay hands on the notorious James Daley? 9853 Do n''t you see that I am talking with this gentleman?"
9853Do n''t you see what it means?
9853Do n''t you think it is just possible that we have made a mistake?
9853Do n''t you think it will be dangerous?
9853Do n''t you think it would be far better if, instead, you discussed the matter with your brother, Charles Le Fenu?
9853Do n''t you think you are very imprudent?
9853Do you find business brisk-- plenty of clients about?
9853Do you generally come into a gentleman''s house in this unceremonious fashion?
9853Do you happen to have a knife in your pocket? 9853 Do you know that you have been sent all the way from Canterbury to fetch me at this time in the morning?
9853Do you really want to let the place?
9853Do you recognise the voice?
9853Do you think I am going to be treated like a blooming kid? 9853 Do you think that this has been the outcome of anything that Zary did?"
9853Does n''t that prove it? 9853 Does this go right down to the cellars?"
9853Felix,she said softly,"is it really you?
9853Have we got all the stuff up now?
9853Have we really come all that way in this short time?
9853Have you ever really been kind to me?
9853How am I to address the envelope?
9853How did you do that?
9853How did you get here?
9853How did you know exactly what was in that box?
9853How did you lose yours?
9853How did you put that dreadful thing on my table?
9853How do you propose to do that?
9853I mean, have you really been kind to me for my own sake, and out of pure good- nature? 9853 I suppose this is some of the gold from the Four Finger Mine?"
9853I suppose your husband sees a good many of his old friends occasionally?
9853I wonder what she is doing with him?
9853I wonder who that fellow is?
9853If that is the case, why not have a cigar together, and discuss the matter? 9853 Is n''t Mr. Gurdon coming with us?"
9853Is not that so, my friend?
9853Is she anything like the woman you saw next door? 9853 Is that all you are going to tell me?"
9853Is the messenger downstairs?
9853Is there anybody waiting for an answer?
9853Is this little box yours, or not?
9853It is easy enough to put the door on the latch and turn out of the crib, leaving it empty, but what about the girl in the white dress? 9853 Mr. Evors, what are you doing here?"
9853Mr. Evors, whom you saw with me just now, is Lord Merton''s only son?
9853My dear boy, can not you see how glad I shall be to be alone with you at last? 9853 Now is n''t this man-- Fenwick-- one of the last persons in the world you would credit with a love of music?"
9853Now what does all this mean?
9853Oh, are you going to be there all night?
9853Oh, could n''t I? 9853 Oh, that is what you are driving at?"
9853Oh, you want to go out with me, mister?
9853Otherwise why did he vanish so mysteriously? 9853 Perhaps you have not already learned who I am?"
9853Shall we go and take a hand?
9853So you know all about that?
9853So you think that if Zary and myself were out of the way you might die eventually in your bed honored and respected of men? 9853 So you think that if you could get Felix Zary out of the way you would be absolutely safe?
9853Suppose he should change his mind and come back here again?
9853Tell me what has happened since I left the hotel last night?
9853That is all very well,Venner interposed,"but where can the young lady go?
9853Then you are not annoyed with us?
9853Then you did not come down on purpose to see him?
9853Then you think the servants have been lured away on a fools''errand?
9853Then, why endure it?
9853There is nothing that Zary would not do for one of us, if you will assure me that you mean no harm by him--"Harm?
9853This has not been disturbed?
9853Well, is it?
9853Well, what do you suppose it is?
9853Well, what is it?
9853Well,Vera said, loftily,"you do n''t expect to find him in here, I suppose?
9853Well,he demanded,"what about the mine?"
9853Well?
9853What are you doing here?
9853What are you doing here?
9853What are you here for? 9853 What are you lying there for?
9853What are you two ruffians doing there?
9853What do you call the place?
9853What do you call yourself? 9853 What do you know about them?"
9853What do you make of it?
9853What do you mean by calling a man an ogre in his own house?
9853What do you want it for?
9853What does it matter what becomes of a melancholy wreck like myself? 9853 What harm could I do the man?
9853What have you against me that you should threaten me like this?
9853What have you got there?
9853What have you got there?
9853What is all here?
9853What is he doing now?
9853What is it?
9853What is it?
9853What is the good of it?
9853What is the matter?
9853What is to be done?
9853What mine?
9853What on earth is the matter with you?
9853What shall we do with that box?
9853What the dickens can that be?
9853What would happen if a wheel gave way?
9853What''s the trouble? 9853 What, do you know all about that?"
9853What, do you mean to say you know her, too?
9853What?
9853When are we going to make the experiment?
9853Where are they?
9853Where can the fellow have gone to?
9853Where was I?
9853Which house do you mean?
9853Which way do we go?
9853Who are these people, and why do they behave in this insane fashion? 9853 Who are you, and what may you be doing here?"
9853Who brought this here?
9853Who can eat rubbish like this?
9853Who cares a straw for them? 9853 Who is that man?"
9853Who is the man, I say? 9853 Who is there on the floor above who is interested in getting these two people out of the way?
9853Who knows how soon I may call upon you to fulfil your promise? 9853 Who told you about that?"
9853Whom have we here, Vera?
9853Why are you so unkind to me?
9853Why do n''t some of you come out?
9853Why do you come in this fashion?
9853Why extract blood for blood in this fashion? 9853 Why not?
9853Why on earth ca n''t you wait till morning? 9853 Why should I do it?"
9853Why should I trust a man like you? 9853 Why should I worry about Evors?"
9853Why should I?
9853Why should it not be?
9853Why should we trouble ourselves for the safety of an abandoned wretch like that? 9853 Why so cruel?
9853Why tell me this when I know so well how the whole thing happened? 9853 Wo n''t you sit down?"
9853Would there be two houses close together, both of them with a broken grating over the cellar? 9853 Yes, but what do you do it for?
9853Yes, that''s all right enough,Venner smiled,"but why could not you have confided in me in the first instance?
9853You are not displeased at the way we have taken possession of your house? 9853 You are not going away from your own house at this time of night?"
9853You are pleased with the arrangement?
9853You do n''t think there is anybody in the house?
9853You drunken dogs, where have you all gone to? 9853 You heard that?"
9853You look upon this as refuse, I suppose?
9853You mean to say that he would actually have murdered you if Vera had not interfered in that providential manner? 9853 You see what this man says?"
9853You walk about here in the dark as if you had known this house all your lifetime, Have you been here before?
9853You want me to write that letter now?
9853You would murder me?
9853Zary, have you taken leave of your senses? 9853 About what age do you suppose the man was?
9853Am I to understand that at the very last moment you learned something that made it absolutely necessary for us to part?
9853And did the Dutch woman confess to her crime?
9853And to see him back here again like this--""What the devil are you talking about?"
9853And, after all, what are two months when you have a whole lifetime before you?
9853And, why, oh, why did you follow me in this way?
9853Are you mad that you should pit your paltry wits against mine?"
9853Are you perfectly certain that we have made our way into the right house?
9853Are you quite sure that you locked your door?"
9853As the metal could be so easily transferred into cash, what was the object of the gang in taking the gold to Europe?
9853Ask any of the old gang in New York, ask the blistering police if you like; and as to the rest of you, who are you?
9853Besides, what would you gain by so unnecessary a crime, and how much better off would you be?
9853But come, are you going to tell me the story of the empty house, and why it was partly furnished?"
9853But had n''t we better get along?"
9853But had n''t you better wait, sir, till the critical moment comes?"
9853But tell me, Zary, how did you know?"
9853But tell me, dear, what was it that gave him such a shock?"
9853But tell me, sir, do you happen to know what his particular line is just at present?"
9853But what is the good of that?--how little does it serve me in my sober moments?
9853But where is the other young lady?"
9853But why did he go there?"
9853But why do n''t you do what I tell you?
9853But, talking about cigars, will you have the goodness to look at this?"
9853By the way, have you any information as to your father''s movements?
9853By the way, have you had any visitors to- night?"
9853By the way, what has become of your friend-- Gurdon, I think his name is?
9853CHAPTER VI A PARTIAL FAILURE"Do you notice anything peculiar about these coins?"
9853CHAPTER XIV MASTER OF THE SITUATION"What have you come back here for?"
9853Can all your revenge bring my dear father back to life again?
9853Can not you guess who I really am, Vera?
9853Charles, will you be good enough to give me your arm also?
9853Curse him, what can have become of him?"
9853Did I not understand Fenwick to say to- night that he was taking a large house somewhere in Kent?"
9853Did ever anybody hear anything so preposterous?
9853Did n''t I tell you just now that I want him to do me a service?
9853Did n''t you notice just now what a tremendous lot of dust we stirred up as we were going over the house?
9853Did you come here alone to- night, or have you an accomplice?"
9853Do n''t you admire the ingenuity of an idea like this?"
9853Do n''t you notice a peculiar noise going on?
9853Do n''t you remember my telling you that the original owner of the Four Finger Mine who was murdered by the Dutchman, Van Fort, was called Le Fenu?"
9853Do n''t you see that he is coming up the stairs?"
9853Do n''t you see that the key is in on this side of the door?
9853Do n''t you see that there are two or three men on the steps of the house next door?
9853Do n''t you think I look quite different?"
9853Do you happen to have such a thing as a latchkey?
9853Do you happen to know a man by the name of Mark Fenwick?"
9853Do you happen to know if that rheumatic old caretaker uses snuff?"
9853Do you hear what I say?"
9853Do you know that for the last two minutes you have been regarding that obese capitalist with a look that was absolutely murderous?
9853Do you mean to say that you did n''t notice her as she came in?"
9853Do you mean to say you do n''t notice the likeness?
9853Do you mean to tell me that you have ever seen him before?"
9853Do you mean to tell me that you sat here, opposite our cripple friend, waiting for him to shoot you?
9853Do you mean to tell me that you sat in this dining- room last night, and that it was furnished in the luxurious way you described?
9853Do you propose to stay at the Empire Hotel for any time?"
9853Do you realise the fact that you have but that time to live?
9853Do you really mean that?"
9853Do you see that mirror opposite the door?
9853Do you suppose for a moment that the man who was engaged to be married to my sister could have laid violent hands on her father?"
9853Do you suppose that our friend Fenwick makes a hobby of collecting English sovereigns?
9853Do you think I shall be safe here?"
9853Do you think it is possible for us to make use of your wife in this matter?"
9853Do you think that I should have refused to throw myself heart and soul into the affair and do my best to help those who were dear to you?"
9853Do you think those people would mind if you looked them up very late to- night?"
9853Do you understand me?"
9853Do you understand that?"
9853Fenwick?"
9853Has that van come along, or shall we have to wait until morning?"
9853Have they bagged our friend Fenwick yet?"
9853Have you found Bates?"
9853Have you had the first of your warnings yet?"
9853Have you so soon forgotten the fact that you are a staid married woman?
9853He''ll be out of the house before we can turn round, and what will the governor say then?"
9853Here, waiter, is the lady dining over there with Mr. Fenwick his daughter or not?"
9853How could he possibly tell this man why he had come and what he had in his mind?
9853How long has he been passing for an Englishman?
9853How many men in similar circumstances would have behaved as I did?
9853How many men would have gone on honoring a wife who betrayed her husband as you betrayed me?
9853How many times have you promised me that you will bring him back to me again?
9853How much longer was this going on, she wondered?
9853How much more would she be called upon to endure?
9853I hope you have enjoyed your supper, sir?"
9853I mean the poor half- demented creature who happened to come into the room when you were talking with the owner?"
9853I suppose you have not forgotten Felix Zary?"
9853I suppose your game is to try and get into the next house by means of the door?"
9853I want to know why it is that you have chosen to break your word with me?
9853If I could see your brother--""Then why not come and see him now?"
9853In fact, what are you two gentlemen doing here at all?"
9853Is it not a strange thing that I should come down here and find that fellow settled in the home of my ancestors?"
9853Is it not strange that we should come together like this?"
9853Is there anything else in the letter likely to be useful to us?"
9853Is this very good stuff?"
9853It was your brother''s idea to get him away--""What for?"
9853Man, do you suppose that happiness lies in the mere accumulation of money?
9853Mr. Venner, will you be good enough to do me the honor of introducing me to your wife?
9853My dear fellow, ca n''t you see in this a reason for your wife''s reticence in speaking of the past?"
9853My dear girl, why do n''t you leave him and come to me?
9853No?
9853Now do n''t tell me that something fresh has occurred which will keep us apart, for another year or two?
9853Now do you begin to see something like daylight before you?
9853Now do you follow me?"
9853Now do you see what he had to gain by this ingenious programme?"
9853Now look me in the face and answer my question truthfully Do you know where that young man is?"
9853Now what on earth can a man gain by taking current coins of the realm and making them red hot?
9853Now what''s the best thing to be done?
9853Now would you like to come with me as far as my own rooms, where I shall be in a position to throw a little light upon a dark place or two?"
9853Now, did it escape your observation, or did you notice that Fenwick took the box I gave him in his right hand?"
9853Now, do n''t you think we can begin to forget all about this kind of thing?
9853Now, is it a bargain or not?"
9853Now, is n''t this better than starving under a thin blanket, with a chance of being murdered before morning?"
9853Now, is not this amazing?
9853Now, tell me, who was it who informed the police of the disappearance of Mr. Bates?
9853Now, what on earth does all this mean?"
9853Now, wo n''t you sit down and have some breakfast with me?"
9853Now, you are an observant man-- did you notice anything peculiar in Fenwick''s appearance to- night?"
9853Now, you are quite sure you all know what to do?
9853Oh, why do you keep me in suspense like this?"
9853One swift blow of this knife--""What are you doing?"
9853Or, shall I open it for you?"
9853Perhaps you are acquainted with weapons of this kind?"
9853Perhaps you will be able to pick out the particular paragraph?
9853Perhaps, also, you share with me a love of flowers?"
9853Shall I call you a cab, sir?"
9853Shall I tell the story, or will you be content with a recollection of your sufferings?
9853Shall we telegraph to Scotland Yard and ask to have Blossett detained when he reaches Victoria?"
9853Since when has he been a millionaire?
9853Some servant, I suppose?"
9853Still, do n''t you think it seems rather ridiculous to try this sort of thing when your wife is in a position to tell you the whole thing?"
9853Tell me, Mr. Venner, why are you so interested in saving the girl who passes for Fenwick''s daughter from her miserable position?
9853Tell me, what are you going to do?
9853The only thing we want to know is whether you saw the man in the cab--""Which one?"
9853The point is, do you happen to know who I am?"
9853This is your daughter, I suppose?
9853Vera cried,"without a chaperon?"
9853Was ever a man so strangely placed as himself, he wondered?
9853Well, what''s the matter now?"
9853What I want to know is, how long this is going on?"
9853What can one make of it?"
9853What could be going on, and why had she seen nothing of this during the day- time?
9853What did you want to let go for?"
9853What do they want to bring up or send down which it is not safe to dispose of by the ordinary means?
9853What do you say to an hour or two at the Gaiety?"
9853What do you say to going in there now?
9853What do you say to paying the interesting cripple a visit to- morrow night, and forcing him to tell us everything?"
9853What do you suggest?"
9853What do you think of that, Venner?"
9853What do you think of the idea?"
9853What do you think?"
9853What does it all mean?"
9853What does it mean?
9853What had become of the cripple, and where had he vanished so mysteriously?
9853What happened to you after you fled from Mexico?"
9853What is going to be done in the matter of the Four Finger Mine?"
9853What is it?
9853What is the secret that you conceal so carefully from the man who would do anything to save you from trouble, from the man you profess to love?
9853What new disaster was here?
9853What shall I do now, though I am afraid you can not help me?"
9853What sort of a night is it, waiter?"
9853What was the number of the house where this Bates lived?
9853What will you say to me when I confess to you that when I came out to Mexico I was driven out of the old country, more or less, like a criminal?"
9853What''s become of him, I should like to know?"
9853When I heard that you were coming over here--""You heard we were coming here?"
9853When shall I see you again?
9853Where are we to get the machine from?"
9853Where did it come from?
9853Where is he now?"
9853Who among you could say the same thing?"
9853Why did he go away and leave us to infer that he had perished at sea?
9853Why did you do so?"
9853Why do n''t you come?"
9853Why do n''t you find Zary?
9853Why do n''t you send her to an asylum?"
9853Why do n''t you speak out, man, instead of standing there like that?"
9853Why do you do this?
9853Why do you tell me this?
9853Why should I have interfered in the way I did, unless it was that I desired to save you pain?
9853Why should we have to go on living this miserable kind of existence when we can take our happiness in both hands and enjoy it?
9853Why was Gurdon prowling about Portsmouth Square that night?"
9853Why was that?"
9853Why?"
9853Will you be good enough to sign the receipt?"
9853Will you come in this evening after dinner and take your coffee and cigar with me?
9853Will you please accept our apologies?"
9853Would n''t it be just as well to put all the lights out?"
9853Would n''t she look nice passing off as the daughter of the old military swell with a fondness for a little game of cards?
9853Would you take that man for an Englishman?"
9853You have no doubt on that score?"
9853You know me, of course?"
9853You know the name of the Square, of course?"
9853You rascal, is it possible that you have Charles Evors under this roof?"
9853You seem to have been in Charles Le Fenu''s confidence for some time-- tell me, why all that mystery about the house in Portsmouth Square?
9853You will come with me to London, Gerald?"
9853You will come with me--""But what''s the charge?"
9853You would n''t think so to look at it, would you?
9853ca n''t you be silent?
9853what?"
56780Alone?
56780Although you have?
56780Am I likely to be summoned as a witness?
56780And can you?
56780And do you think it was proper for her to be out so late at night without saying anything to anyone in the house?
56780And does she believe in him?
56780And if you receive any other letters or anything comes up in any way bearing on this, will you let me know at once? 56780 And was that what you had been talking about when she had that attack?"
56780And what if I have?
56780And will you know if she should suddenly show signs of departure?
56780And you could send me a note?
56780And you do n''t mind that it is breaking rules,--only they are n''t made into rules, because nobody thought that they would be needed? 56780 And you failed?"
56780And you have not seen it at all?
56780And you saw nothing unusual?
56780And you think it was not his own?
56780And you think she was with him when Lawrence killed him?
56780And you told him--?
56780Another letter for Miss Wolcott?
56780Are you allowed to go in to see her?
56780Are you familiar with Mr. Fullerton''s handwriting?
56780Are you going to write it up?
56780Are you serious?
56780Are you strong enough to tell them your story, or shall I?
56780Are your young ladles as carefully secluded as that wall would suggest?
56780At any rate, you are a friend of his?
56780Based on what facts?
56780Bede who?
56780But I may come and see you?
56780But did n''t he remember that he had left it here? 56780 But do they have the same sense of honor that we have?"
56780But in dark clothes or light? 56780 But she was n''t divorced at that time, was she?"
56780But suppose he, too, thought, as all the rest of us did, that the cane had been the instrument of Fullerton''s death?
56780But what could you have done? 56780 But what made you run so?
56780But what was it all about?
56780But what was it like? 56780 But what was that other cane?"
56780But where, man, where? 56780 But why not?"
56780But why?
56780But you did n''t leave it lying on the rug?
56780But, Kittie, is that all?
56780But-- if I have to go right to jail?
56780But-- if it was?
56780By the way, Mr. Lyon, how did you get into these rooms?
56780Ca n''t you imagine why he would not allow himself to remember?
56780Ca n''t you remember anything about her?
56780Can you be positive about that?
56780Can you describe her? 56780 Can you describe her?"
56780Can you give us any information about the man who called?
56780Can you say how long the man had been dead?
56780Could you tell me what time of the day that sale was made?
56780Did Bede ask about any of them in particular?
56780Did Bede ask you anything about her?
56780Did he ask anything else in particular?
56780Did he ask you any other questions?
56780Did he forget his cane here when he left?
56780Did he know anything of his wife''s past history,--her friends, or her--"Her lovers? 56780 Did he know of your engagement to Fullerton?"
56780Did he not say, living or dead? 56780 Did she tell you where she saw him, or what they talked about?"
56780Did she wear a veil?
56780Did she?
56780Did the threat make any special impression on you at the time? 56780 Did you come to see my granddaughter?"
56780Did you ever speak of it to anyone?
56780Did you ever try to recover the letters?
56780Did you happen to mention the lady''s name, or only her initials?
56780Did you have any reason for refraining from so stating?
56780Did you know him by sight?
56780Did you know who she was?
56780Did you leave it there?
56780Did you leave the library with him?
56780Did you make any attempt to recover your letters?
56780Did you notice anything else about her or her dress?
56780Did you recognize the body when you came up?
56780Did you scream?
56780Did you see Mr. Lyon on Hemlock Avenue?
56780Did you see any one on the street?
56780Did you see any one to speak to?
56780Did you see him examine the body?
56780Did you take her down later?
56780Did you tell Bede all that?
56780Did you tell Olden this story?
56780Did you tell him the same things you have told me?
56780Did you wish to see me?
56780Did you, really?
56780Did you?
56780Do people generally guess it?
56780Do you happen to have any reason for that assurance? 56780 Do you happen to know anyone else in the neighborhood who does?"
56780Do you know anyone in Waynscott?
56780Do you know if Mr. Lawrence is out of town?
56780Do you know if Mrs. Broughton has been here before?
56780Do you know what time it is, young man?
56780Do you know what time it was?
56780Do you mean that she has not yet returned?
56780Do you mean that you have seen her? 56780 Do you mean that you live here entirely alone with your granddaughter?"
56780Do you see my flowers, old man?
56780Do you suppose I could ever tell Miss Elliott that I had killed somebody? 56780 Do you think I could go to them and explain that I had-- had_ killed_ anybody?
56780Do you think it was very awful?
56780Do you think that she cared for him still?
56780Do you think your uncle and aunt would consent to your coming to pay me a visit?
56780Does Dr. Barry know what you have told me?
56780Does Mrs. Broughton know about it, do you think?
56780Does anyone know?
56780Does the message convey any special meaning to you?
56780Dr. Sperry, will you describe the appearance of the wound?
56780Eh?
56780For instance--?
56780For the public?
56780For what?
56780From whom?
56780Go in? 56780 Good heavens, what do you mean?
56780Had that lady ever been here before?
56780Has Bede been here to- day?
56780Has Lawrence''s name never been connected with a woman? 56780 Has anything new come up?
56780Has gossip nothing to say on the subject?
56780Has he a good attorney? 56780 Has he been around again?"
56780Has he been inquisitive about Lawrence''s affairs?
56780Has she been ill?
56780Has she spoken of it to you?
56780Have n''t you seen Lawrence to- day?
56780Have you any influence with him?
56780Have you lived in this house long?
56780Have you spoken of them yourself to anyone? 56780 Have you told anybody else about Mr. Fullerton''s visitor, Johnny?"
56780He had no reason then to know-- or to guess-- the importance which you placed upon the recovery of the letters?
56780He said that, did he?
56780He said that? 56780 Help me out, ca n''t you?
56780How about Lawrence?
56780How about his other creditors, if you have a lien on his library? 56780 How can I tell?
56780How did Lawrence know about these letters?
56780How did he come to get it?
56780How did he frighten you?
56780How did you find it out?
56780How did you know about the curtains?
56780How did you-- how did her husband know who the man was?
56780How do you know that they are traitorous?
56780How do you know?
56780How interesting can you make yourself when you really give your mind to it?
56780How is your patient?
56780How long had you been tramping?
56780How was he dressed, Kittie?
56780How was she dressed?
56780How was the body lying?
56780How,--if she is gone?
56780I believe it was you who first identified the body?
56780I shrieked and struck at him--"What with?
56780I understand that he has not killed the man yet?
56780Ill as she was, with God knows what trouble on her mind and conscience, where can she have gone? 56780 In your opinion, could the fatal blow have been struck by such an instrument as this cane?"
56780Indeed?
56780Indeed?
56780Indeed?
56780Is It your intention to stay here for some time, then?
56780Is Miss Wolcott at home?
56780Is it not possible that there may be a woman connected with the mystery?
56780Is it possible that he will attach any significance to Miss Wolcott''s purchase of a soporific on the fatal 25th? 56780 Is n''t it possible that he is withholding nothing,--that there is nothing to withhold?"
56780Is n''t she perfectly beautiful? 56780 Is that straight about Vanderburg being dead?
56780Is that your idea?
56780Is this room the way Fullerton left it?
56780Is this your New Orleans cane,--the one you told me about?
56780Is your mistress at home?
56780It was a little before ten?
56780Just before you left the corner?
56780Kittie, when we were talking about Mr. Fullerton, why did n''t you tell me what you knew about it?
56780Lawrence admires her, does he?
56780Lawrence? 56780 Lawrence?
56780Makes what worse?
56780May I ask why, you extraordinary man?
56780May I have this room?
56780May I see the envelope?
56780Might I look over the building?
56780Might I see the other room?
56780Miss Kittie?
56780Miss Wolcott, you remember that Lawrence called on you that Sunday before the tragedy?
56780Miss Wolcott?
56780Mr. Broughton, if I could put you at this moment face to face with your wife, what would be your attitude toward her?
56780No one saw him?
56780No stenographer or clerk?
56780Nor his lawyer, Howell?
56780Not Arthur Lawrence, for instance?
56780Not even Lawrence?
56780Not even if she should prove to be the woman who ran across the street?
56780Not if it removes Lawrence''s connection with the cane?
56780Now see here, Lyon, do n''t you think you are crowding things a little? 56780 Officer, did you see no one on the street from the time you left Oak Street and Grant Street until you found the body?"
56780Oh, Cousin Percy, was n''t it perfectly beautiful that the horse should run away right here and give you a chance to rescue me like this? 56780 Oh, it''s upstairs, is it?"
56780Oh, then she had been here before?
56780Oh, you told Arthur Lawrence?
56780Or any of the girls?
56780Or in the forenoon or in the evening? 56780 Or perhaps you would like this better?
56780Pardon me, may I give you the message before you say anything more? 56780 Particularly?"
56780Personal feeling? 56780 Really?
56780Really?
56780Remember anything else he asked about?
56780Responsibility?
56780Sent for you? 56780 She to forgive me?"
56780Should you say that it was the mark of a heavy blow?
56780So you hid the pieces?
56780That you, Lyon?
56780The circumstantial evidence against him is pretty bad, yet you would n''t want to have him hanged on the strength of it, would you?
56780The curtain is down,--have you seen? 56780 The pieces of the cane?"
56780Their friends, do n''t they? 56780 Then did you go out again, later?"
56780Then if there was anyone else who came to see Mr. Fullerton that day, you would n''t know about it?
56780Then is that all settled?
56780Then is there any other way in?
56780Then she knows the house and yard, pretty well?
56780Then why do n''t you forbid it?
56780Then you stood still, practically, while he walked a block?
56780Then you think you have identified the young lady?
56780Then, so far as you know, no one could have learned from you of those letters?
56780There is n''t any other place where I could poke them in, is there?
56780To find out what hold this man Lawrence has upon her,--to kill him, perhaps,--"Lawrence? 56780 To your family?"
56780To- morrow?
56780Told_ me?_"Well, I told the boy who telephoned for you.
56780Was Mr. Fullerton in the habit of using this paper?
56780Was Mr. Lawrence present when you did so?
56780Was Mr. Lawrence walking rapidly?
56780Was he near enough to identify the body?
56780Was her business of such a nature that she would have been likely to consult Fullerton about it?
56780Was it a love- letter?
56780Was that all you wanted to see my canes for?
56780Was that here,--in this hollow?
56780Was that his only reason for opposing your divorce? 56780 Was the light sufficiently bright to enable you to see clearly?"
56780Was there any one else on the street?
56780Was this before or after my marriage, do you happen to remember?
56780Was this spot wet when you picked the muffler up?
56780Well, are n''t you assuming it to be Lawrence?
56780Well, what do you make of it?
56780Well, what shall we gossip about?
56780Well?
56780Well?
56780Well?
56780Were you alone all that time?
56780What I knew? 56780 What accounts did he ask about?
56780What are some of the rules of the school?
56780What are you going to do? 56780 What are you saying?"
56780What are you trying to find out?
56780What could she possibly know about that?
56780What day?
56780What did Mr. Lawrence say?
56780What did he come for?
56780What did he say?
56780What did he tell her? 56780 What did he want it for?"
56780What did he want?
56780What did she say?
56780What did she tell you?
56780What did you do with it? 56780 What did you do with it?"
56780What did you tell him about these two?
56780What did you tell him?
56780What do people generally gossip about?
56780What do you expect to get out of his empty rooms?
56780What do you know about my patient?
56780What do you make of it yourself?
56780What do you mean by as long as possible?
56780What do you mean?
56780What do you mean?
56780What do you mean?
56780What do you mean?
56780What do you mean?
56780What do you mean?
56780What do you mean?
56780What else did she say to you?
56780What explanation do you suggest for my cane being where it was?
56780What for should I do that? 56780 What for?"
56780What frightened you? 56780 What have you been doing to- day?"
56780What in the world do you mean?
56780What is your name, may I ask?
56780What kind of a watch was it?
56780What made you connect her with Lawrence in any way?
56780What makes you ask? 56780 What makes you think I am assuming it was Lawrence?--Because I suggested he was making love on his own account?"
56780What makes you think that she would be glad?
56780What makes you think that?
56780What more would you want, in the name of wonder? 56780 What of that?"
56780What other things?
56780What scrape has my most respectable landlord been getting into, that he needs legal advice?
56780What sort of a cane was it?
56780What time did she come?
56780What was it all about?
56780What was the nature of your conversation at that time?
56780What was your plan? 56780 What were they like?"
56780What will Fullerton do?
56780What will this day bring forth?
56780What would be the use?
56780What''s that?
56780What''s up?
56780What''s up?
56780What''s up?
56780What? 56780 When and how did you lose it?"
56780When and where did you see him before that evening?
56780When did she call you in?
56780When did she come? 56780 When did she go?"
56780When did you see her?
56780When did you speak to him last?
56780When does the train leave?
56780When was this?
56780When you heard the policeman''s whistle, did you go at once to the spot?
56780When you told her to come at half past seven, did n''t she look at her watch?
56780Where did you hide them?
56780Where else can you go?
56780Where had you been, Kittie?
56780Where have you been this evening?
56780Where was he when you first saw him?
56780Where was he?
56780Where would she be likely to go? 56780 Who has the apartment above?"
56780Who is the man?--Do you know who it is, officer?
56780Who sent them?
56780Who told you that?--How did you find that out?
56780Why did n''t he ask her, straight?
56780Why did n''t you tell me, Grace? 56780 Why do you ask that?
56780Why does she disappear, as soon as she knows that Bede has connected her with the affairs of that night?
56780Why must we?
56780Why not ask her?
56780Why, what was there unusual about it?
56780Why?
56780Will Mr. Lawrence be released, then, without anything further?
56780Will she be able to see me?
56780Will she remain after the school reopens?
56780Will they put me in jail?
56780Will you examine the gold knob at the end of this piece and say whether you see anything to indicate that such a blow was actually struck with it?
56780Will you explain your object in disguising yourself, so that we may know just where we stand in relation to each other?
56780Will you give an account of your movements?
56780Will you go in now?
56780Will you inform the jury when you last had it in your possession?
56780Will you let me take you to Miss Wolcott''s?
56780With Warren Fullerton?
56780Would I?
56780Would it be possible for me to look at the record?
56780Would such a blow be apt to break the cane?
56780Would such a blow cause death at once?
56780Would the rules of the school permit you to go out for a walk with me? 56780 Would there be any objection to my taking my cousin out for a walk?"
56780Would you have noticed it, without fail? 56780 Would you know the lady if you saw her again?
56780Would you meet her with accusation, doubt, and coldness? 56780 Would you swear to it?"
56780Yes,--but are they facts?
56780Yet you did not recognize him?
56780You admit, however, that she might have been made desperate?
56780You are sure?
56780You broke your cane over him?
56780You could read nothing else?
56780You did n''t see him?
56780You do n''t ask with whom we have identified her? 56780 You had passed the corner of Sherman Street a few minutes before?"
56780You had warned her not to consult him personally?
56780You have nothing to tell me?
56780You know Arthur Lawrence pretty well, do n''t you?
56780You know it, then?
56780You mean he makes love to every pretty woman he knows?
56780You mean--?
56780You never suspected, when you saw the report in the paper the next day, that the man found dead on Sherman Street was the man you had met?
56780You received this yesterday?
56780You remember that day you came to the house to see Edith,--the first time you came?
56780You remember the place? 56780 You say-- what do you mean?"
56780You were on Sherman Street last night?
56780_ Where_ can she be?
56780( Had she meant to say Mr. Fullerton, Lyon wondered, and veered from the name?
56780About what?"
56780And Lawrence himself?
56780And if she tells that story of Arthur''s anger with Fullerton will it not go against him on the trial?"
56780And is Bede going to produce her or is n''t he?
56780And the girl did n''t turn it,--""The girl?"
56780And who did mail it yesterday, anyhow?
56780And why should she go secretly?
56780And would you ever have known the measure of Lawrence''s devotion if he had not had this chance of proving how far he could carry it?
56780And yet if the truth would serve to clear two innocent people from suspicion, could he justify himself in not speaking?
56780And, by the way, do n''t you lunch at the Tillamook Club?
56780Any girl friend?"
56780Any new developments in the Lawrence case?"
56780Any time at all on Monday?"
56780Anything?"
56780Are you sure?"
56780Are you trying your hand at amateur detective work?"
56780Barry?"
56780Because Bede persuaded her to hide, or because he frightened her into hiding on her own account?
56780Bede?"
56780Broughton?"
56780Broughton?"
56780But I was sick for a month,--do you remember?"
56780But do you really think that the one and only person will maintain silence on such a matter at such a cost to you?"
56780But first, tell me, is Lawrence''s situation really dangerous?"
56780But first,_ is_ this your New Orleans cane?"
56780But if she stays in Waynscott, will she not be called as a witness?
56780But maybe some Wednesdays you will be busy?"
56780But the means,--the cane?"
56780But what did you do with it?"
56780But what if the facts should be that she does n''t need any protection?
56780But, he wondered, why did she say Monday?
56780By the way, did n''t you say that my friend Lawrence left a cane here once?
56780By the way, is her ailment serious?"
56780By the way, it was you who identified the man as Fullerton, was n''t it?"
56780By the way, what theory have you to offer in regard to his coat being on wrong side out?"
56780Ca n''t you speak?
56780Can you believe for the thousandth part of an instant that she would have gone to that girl if there was anything between her and Lawrence?
56780Can you describe it?"
56780Can you prove it?"
56780Can you stand the humiliation of that knowledge?"
56780Can you swear that this stick is actually the one that you thought you had broken?"
56780Changed your room?"
56780Confound you, why do n''t you begin?
56780Could Bede read his thoughts and tear from him the secret he was most anxious to guard,--Miss Wolcott''s connection with the affair?
56780Could he, by turning them and trying them, find the answer?
56780Could it be that Lawrence had mistakenly jumped to the same conclusion that he had?
56780Could she have gone through the Wolcott yard on her way elsewhere?
56780Did Lawrence entertain the thought that she was involved in the affair in any other way than as a possible witness?
56780Did he know her?
56780Did he think it possible that she herself was the murderer?
56780Did he wear a hat?"
56780Did it have a heavy knob or a little one?
56780Did n''t you know?"
56780Did she feel that it was impossible to live?
56780Did she go for a sleeping powder before or after the murder?
56780Did she go to her death,--or to hide and wait for_ him?_""If you mean Lawrence, that''s all nonsense,"said Lyon, calmly.
56780Did you come straight home?"
56780Did you identify him at that distance?"
56780Did you know him?
56780Did you mail it?"
56780Did you notice particularly?"
56780Did you really see me then?
56780Did you recognize the lady?"
56780Did you see any of them?"
56780Did you see her face?"
56780Did you wish to see me?"
56780Do I understand she is out this afternoon?"
56780Do n''t you know something that the public has n''t got hold of?
56780Do you know anyone to whom he would be likely to confide such a matter,--any confidant or chum?"
56780Do you know what it is?"
56780Do you like it?"
56780Do you remember?"
56780Do you see any way yet in which I can help it to come?"
56780Do you suppose it was perhaps because the last one was n''t sent?
56780Do you suppose the pieces are still there?"
56780Do you think they will make me tell publicly all that I told you?
56780Do you understand?
56780Does he know?
56780Does that seem a little thing to you?"
56780From Lawrence?"
56780Fullerton?"
56780Fullerton?"
56780Had he any personal enemies?
56780Had he been a witness of the murder, if not an actor in it?
56780Had he encountered Fullerton and Miss Wolcott together, and had there been a sudden quarrel with this unexpected termination?
56780Had he really covered his tracks, or had he left some perfectly obvious clue for the detective to follow?
56780Had that meant anything to Bede?
56780Had the girl dropped it or merely hurried past it?
56780Had you seen anything,--a row, or a fight of any sort?"
56780Has she gone away?
56780Have you considered that?"
56780Have you seen anything?"
56780He ca n''t really be in any serious danger?"
56780He fumed around a little, and finally said he wanted a will drawn up, and could n''t I do it?
56780He looked somewhat shamefaced, however, as he asked,"Do you believe that sometimes the dead walk?"
56780He must still keep faith with Lawrence, who had trusted him; but was it not possible to help Lawrence against his will through this lawyer?
56780How can he think that?
56780How could he surprise Miss Elliott into giving him her name?
56780How did you find out she was here?
56780How do you come to know it,--or think you know it?"
56780How had Lawrence ever dared to love her?
56780How had he learned about those letters?
56780How had his cane come to be on the spot unless he had been there himself?
56780How long would she keep possession of that gift, if Lawrence were only free?
56780How was it possible that it had come here unless by Lawrence''s hand?
56780How was that?"
56780Howell:"How did you hear from her?"
56780Howell:"How do you know?"
56780Howell:"When was that?"
56780I always took in his breakfast tray and his paper,--""How did you get in?"
56780I know you do n''t write often,--men never do, Aunt Meg says,--so I do n''t suppose you know that Cousin Jennie is engaged?
56780I mean did it influence your actions at all?"
56780I mean simply,--are you sure of your premises?
56780I meant, believe in_ him_,--in his interest in her?"
56780I returned to Miss Elliott''s,--""Do you know at what hour?"
56780I say, is n''t she a wonderful woman?"
56780I think if he could know she said that, he would feel proud, do n''t you?"
56780I think that is true, too, do n''t you?"
56780I was in Fullerton''s rooms at the Wellington this morning,--""How did you get in?"
56780I wonder how you came to know?"
56780If Lawrence had indeed struck the fatal blow, how had it come about?
56780If he should kill the man, would you say he was justified?"
56780If her nerve had broken down, and she should hurl a confession at him before he could stop her, what should he do about it?
56780If it was merely a question of where he had left his cane, it would not have been a serious matter to answer, would it?"
56780If she was merely a disinterested witness, would he have felt bound, at such cost, to keep her from being called upon?
56780If that should happen, would I have to tell about-- this?"
56780Is it anything mysterious?"
56780Is it furnished?"
56780Is n''t there any way for me to escape?
56780Is that the law?"
56780Is there no gossip?"
56780It terrifies me to think of Mr. Lawrence being actually in jail, but-- they will have to let him go, wo n''t they?
56780It took you the longest time to find out I was here, did n''t it?
56780It was as though he had said,"Oh, is that it?"
56780It was for Miss Wolcott, was n''t it?"
56780Just that?"
56780Just what did it mean?
56780Kittie?"
56780Lawrence?"
56780Lawrence?"
56780Lawrence?"
56780Lawrence?"
56780Lawrence?"
56780Lawrence?"
56780Lyon?"
56780Maxwell, who sent those roses to Lawrence,--Arthur Lawrence, you know?"
56780May I go home with you now and see them?"
56780May I take this letter with me?"
56780Might it be possible that Mr. Wolcott had carried the cane away somewhere?
56780Mr. Lawrence has been arrested on the charge of killing Warren Fullerton--""Oh, heavens, has it come to that?"
56780Mrs. Broughton gave her a glance of sympathetic understanding, and then said to Lyon,"And what about this dear little girl?
56780Now do you know when she went away?"
56780Now do you understand why I am happy?
56780Now how can I be sure of knowing the earliest moment that I can risk demanding an interview without danger to her health?"
56780Now if he wrote it himself, why was n''t it mailed until yesterday?
56780Now that you have spoiled our plan, what are you going to do with us instead?
56780Now, can you remember when it was that you put them in there?
56780Now, do you know, yourself, what Lawrence was doing that night?"
56780Now, do you think that is a proper way for a young woman to treat her elders?
56780Now, have you any suggestions as to how that interview can be arranged without notice to the public and without any chance of a slip- up?"
56780Now, what I want to know is,_ here did that letter come from?_""That I ca n''t tell yet.
56780Now, what bearing, so far as you know, does this have upon the case?"
56780Now, who was the girl?
56780Now, why did she go?
56780Oh, do you think I could have laid my whole heart bare to you as I have done tonight if I were not through with all that false claim?
56780Oh, where was she?
56780Olden smoked a minute in silence, and then asked abruptly,"Do you believe that women as a class have any sense of truth?"
56780Or a week?"
56780Or did you hear the excitement last night?"
56780Or will you hide that unworthy side of your thought and let her see the love that you really feel?"
56780Really, have n''t you any news items to give me?"
56780She went at once to Lawrence''s office,--""His law office, in the Equity Building?"
56780She''s getting old,--but that is n''t a crime, is it?
56780Stay, was he so sure of that?
56780Suppose I had n''t caught on?"
56780Suppose the woman who ran across the street was someone else?"
56780That explains, you think, this phrase?"
56780That may be--"she glanced inquiringly at Lyon--"a few days?
56780That was Monday forenoon?"
56780The blue goggles scrutinized Lyon for a moment before he said,"Well, shall we consider it settled?"
56780The urgency of the outside found no counterpart in the simple little note which it enclosed:"Dear Mr. Lyon:"Could you conveniently call this evening?
56780Then he must really have been pretty badly tied up financially?"
56780Then his letters came--""What made you think they were from him?
56780There is a lady visiting Miss Elliott--""Oh, do you know her?"
56780There was no-- personal feeling?"
56780There, do you see the two windows with the curtains clear up?
56780This was obviously in the examiner''s mind when he asked next,"Was the overcoat buttoned when you came upon him?"
56780To whom was it addressed?"
56780Was he himself an object of interest to someone connected with the case?
56780Was his office rent paid?"
56780Was his sacrifice to be for nothing?
56780Was his watchfulness over her the occasion of his present preoccupation?
56780Was it an accident?
56780Was it as easy to get out as to get in?
56780Was it hereabouts?"
56780Was it highway robbery?
56780Was it murder?
56780Was it possible that Miss Wolcott was going out, alone and unattended, at this hour?
56780Was it possible that he was trying to connect Miss Wolcott with the woman who had called upon Fullerton that evening and had gone out with him?
56780Was it possible that the statuesque Miss Wolcott could ever forget herself in that Diana- like run?
56780Was it then possible that Lawrence had been right in his first suspicion that the fleeing woman was Edith Wolcott?
56780Was n''t that girl you?"
56780Was she a- comin''to see Mr. Fullerton, too?"
56780Was the injunction needed, in the face of such self- control?
56780Was there an alley beyond or did this lot abut on the lot which faced on the next street south,--Locust?
56780Was there any other lady who came to see Mr. Fullerton that afternoon?"
56780Was there anything that would fix the date in your mind?"
56780Well then, what can we do?"
56780Well, what did he do?"
56780Were you surprised to find me gone when you returned?"
56780What bearing has it on this letter?"
56780What did you do with the pieces?"
56780What did you do with them?"
56780What do you know about her?"
56780What do you know about it?
56780What do you make of it, anyhow?"
56780What do you want to see her about?"
56780What does it mean?
56780What foolish plan might she have in her mind now?
56780What for?"
56780What have you been doing about the Lawrence case?"
56780What have you discovered so far?"
56780What if it really proves that you are making a sacrifice which is not merely heroic but is unnecessary?
56780What in the name of wonder are you bringing her name in for?"
56780What in the world started her?"
56780What in thunder did you mean by forcing yourself upon her in that way?"
56780What made you notice her, by the way?"
56780What made you think that?"
56780What more natural?
56780What more simple?
56780What of it?"
56780What of that?"
56780What was it that lay behind that shield?
56780What was up now?
56780What were the police good for, anyhow?
56780What''s his name?"
56780When can I come in?"
56780When did he say that,--when I got in before?"
56780When did they go?"
56780When the trial comes off, will there be any way of my knowing how it is going?"
56780When was it?
56780When were you there last?
56780When you came to Waynscott you went to Lawrence''s office first, did n''t you?
56780Where could she have gone?
56780Where did that letter come from?
56780Where did you come from?"
56780Where else could the letters have been placed, so as to fall upon the rug?
56780Where is she?
56780Where were you coming from?"
56780Where were you going?"
56780Who would be likely to know of your letters?"
56780Why did she go?"
56780Why had he held back the natural impulse to speak his name?
56780Why had she said nothing of her intention when he left her an hour ago?
56780Why not?
56780Why, no, how could there be?
56780Why?"
56780Why?"
56780Will you do it?"
56780Will you have something--?
56780Will you remember that, and if anything suggests itself to you that would give me an opportunity to do anything for him, will you let me know?"
56780Will you take up my card?
56780Will you tell Mr. Lawrence about these letters?
56780Would he give his hypothesis to the public?
56780Would it be possible for him to get a room in the neighborhood?
56780Would n''t it have been awful?
56780Would you be sure to know that?"
56780Would you care to look at the rooms?"
56780Would you like to have her come with you?"
56780Would you mind-- would you put them on the fire for me?"
56780Yet if Lawrence was as positive as he seemed to be about having left it here, would her denial have any weight?
56780You are sure it was right there?"
56780You can put some furniture into the bedroom, ca n''t you?
56780You have been as quiet and undisturbed here as though you had been quartered in a rest- cure sanitarium, have n''t you?"
56780You have heard nothing?"
56780You have n''t been thinking that I--_I_ killed Mr. Fullerton with Arthur''s cane?"
56780You heard what Lawrence said about taking the trick?"
56780You see that?"
56780You think I''m safe to wait, then, a day or two?
56780You understand?"
56780You will take all the responsibility, wo n''t you?"
56780_ Allow_ himself to remember?
56780_ Where_ has she gone?"
56780is?"
56902''Come, come, now,''Chase said,''what''s the use of that? 56902 ''Do n''t care?''
56902''Know what?'' 56902 ''Was n''t_ she_ at Mr. Wilford''s office?''
56902A bean? 56902 A bean?"
56902A case?
56902A clue? 56902 A sort of marble woman?"
56902A train?
56902About any of them in particular?
56902About any one contemplating a suit for divorce?
56902Ah-- then there had been a quarrel between Mrs. Wilford and her husband the day before?
56902All parlor socialists?
56902And Honora Wilford?
56902And Vina Lathrop-- was she interested, too? 56902 And he is--?"
56902And now you are going to--?
56902And that was--?
56902And then what?
56902And were engaged once, were you not?
56902And what then?
56902And when you find yourself up against it, you come to me?
56902And you saw him? 56902 And you were alone?"
56902And you, Honora?
56902And-- physostigmine-- is what?
56902Are there any other dreams that you have thought of since?
56902Are they still just as insolent up here to you?
56902Are they true? 56902 Are those all the dreams you can remember?"
56902Are you sure that it was not Vina Lathrop?
56902Are you sure-- absolutely sure that on the night Mr. Wilford was murdered madame was here-- that she was not out-- at all?
56902Belladonna-- eh?
56902But about the atropin-- in one glass and nothing in the other?
56902But ca n''t you see that it''s placing her in a wrong light-- supposing everything she did that night was innocent? 56902 But did he say anything definite about it?
56902But do you think there is anything in the story about them?
56902But he was, was n''t he? 56902 But how are you going to do that?"
56902But how do you think dreams arise in the first place?
56902But how does that all apply in this case?
56902But is that all there is to the dream theory?
56902But what about the atropin in the glass-- and in the bottle?
56902But what about the note? 56902 But what about these dream doctors who profess to be able to tell you what is going to happen-- the clairvoyants?"
56902But what business of yours-- or anybody''s, for that matter-- is that?
56902But what of Honora?
56902But what of the physostigmine?
56902But what sort of condition did you think her in before you reassured her at the start by the association test?
56902But what sort of dreams are there? 56902 But why did he have Vina shadowed here to the tea- room-- that is, if that is the case?
56902But you saw her?
56902But, madame-- did she not know her?
56902But,I interrupted,"how does this analysis apply to the case of Honora Wilford?"
56902But,I objected,"there was no trace of physostigmine in either glass, was there?"
56902Calabar?
56902Celeste,began Doyle, with an easy familiarity which I knew the French maid resented deeply,"you saw that man who was here and went away?"
56902Could n''t you see that when we came there she was in a state verging on hysteria?
56902Could she have been there when he died? 56902 Devoting too much time to the practice?"
56902Did I do all right?
56902Did Mrs. Wilford see him there?
56902Did he ever discuss things with you-- I mean Freud-- current topics of conversation?
56902Did he mention Shattuck''s name?
56902Did he really go?
56902Did he see her?
56902Did he see or hear anything?
56902Did she leave soon?
56902Did she make a scene-- I mean did every one see it?
56902Did she meet Shattuck?
56902Did she say she would?
56902Did she threaten again to leave him?
56902Did they bear a resemblance to any one you know?
56902Did you ever have any of these ordeal beans?
56902Did you ever see Mr. Wilford or Mrs. Wilford with Mrs. Vina Lathrop?
56902Did you ever see these people here?
56902Did you ever try it?
56902Did you finally sell the stock?
56902Did you find physostigmine in the stomach contents I sent you? 56902 Did you get one?"
56902Did you get them down?
56902Did you get them?
56902Did you have any motive?
56902Did you locate Rascon?
56902Did you read them?
56902Did you serve them?
56902Did you wait on her?
56902Did_ he_ send you-- or was it that woman?
56902Do n''t you think you have done enough, hounding Mrs. Wilford with your confounded science?
56902Do they show anything that is evidential?
56902Do you dream more-- or less, lately?
56902Do you know him?
56902Do you know?
56902Do you mean that?
56902Do you recall a night when there was a scene here-- another woman?
56902Do you remember anything that happened?
56902Do you remember anything that was said?
56902Do you think Celeste can be relied on?
56902Do you think that he sometimes oversteps his mark in trying to find out about the mental life of his patients?
56902Doctor Lathrop really knew of the incident, did n''t he?--at least, learned of it afterward?
56902Doctor Lathrop?
56902Does Mr. Shattuck know where you are?
56902Does it affect your plans at all?
56902Done? 56902 Done?"
56902Ever see anything like it?
56902Ever see one of those?
56902Explain it? 56902 Explain it?"
56902For what, may I ask, am I indebted to you for_ this_ visit?
56902Had Mrs. Wilford contemplated similar action on her part, do you think?
56902Has Doctor Lathrop been told?
56902Has Kennedy done anything?
56902Has he learned anything yet?
56902Has she been told all this yet?
56902Have you any idea what it may be?
56902Have you any idea?
56902Have you any more?
56902Have you discovered something already?
56902Have you found anything yet?
56902Have you met Mrs. Wilford recently?
56902Have you no need of help, no need of a friend?
56902Have you read the news?
56902Have you the letter?
56902Have you told Doyle anything about it?
56902Have you told him? 56902 He is yours, too, is he not?"
56902He seemed interested in Freud?
56902Honora-- why-- why have you said this?
56902How about that Calabar bean?
56902How about the changes?
56902How about those reports?
56902How about your suspects?
56902How did Mrs. Wilford take it?
56902How did you come here?
56902How did you find out about this fellow?
56902How did you find out where she had gone-- really?
56902How do I know you come from_ her_?
56902How do I know?
56902How do you suppose it was given?
56902How does Mrs. Lathrop take the affair-- with bravado?
56902How was that? 56902 How''s that?"
56902Human?
56902I believe she has some reputation as an interpreter of Freud-- you know, the dream doctor? 56902 I believe she was a patient of yours?"
56902I did n''t leave him, though, did I?
56902I mean-- when did she use it last? 56902 I see-- and did you find anything?"
56902I suppose I may reach you at your place of business, later, if I need?
56902I suppose you have heard of the death of Vail Wilford?
56902I suppose you have read in the newspapers about the troubles of the Lathrops and what has happened?
56902I suppose you know of the suicide of Vail Wilford?
56902I suppose you know that she has been suffering from nervous trouble for some time?
56902I suppose you know that some of these private detectives are really scandalous in their operations?
56902I suppose you''ve heard that they''ve found a Calabar bean down in Vail''s office, on the floor?
56902I wonder whether you would mind writing them down for me?
56902I-- in the office?
56902I? 56902 If only what?"
56902Important?
56902Indeed?
56902Indeed?
56902Indeed?
56902Is he woman- crazy?
56902Is it just some little theatricals-- or is it a little Spanish Inquisition stuff?
56902Is it true?
56902Is she clear for that night?
56902Is that all?
56902Is that what you''ve found out?
56902Is that you, Vina?
56902Is there anything I can do?
56902Is there anything else that comes into your mind?
56902Is this you, Honora?
56902It was n''t such a terrible thing, after all, was it?
56902It would n''t look right-- at this stage of the case-- for me to write, do you think? 56902 Just why are you so interested in studying me, Professor Kennedy?"
56902Let me read it, if you do n''t mind?
56902Like Rascon?
56902Might I see them?
56902Motive? 56902 Mr. Doyle is n''t here, I suppose?"
56902Mr. Wilford got similar reports-- and believed them?
56902Never saw it?
56902No one?
56902Now, might I ask you to leave me? 56902 Oh yes-- and favors, too, you call them?"
56902Oh-- a suicide?
56902Oh-- oculists use it, do they?
56902On which of us would the thing take effect first? 56902 Or am I like John Alden-- not speaking enough for myself, Priscilla?"
56902Pete,demanded Leslie, sharply,"did you see a woman here that night?"
56902Playing a deep game?
56902Professor Kennedy is on the case, is n''t he? 56902 Rascon?"
56902Raw? 56902 Really?"
56902Say,pursued Doyle, with a knowing nod,"you remember I found out that some one had been at that office the night Wilford was murdered?"
56902She broke off the engagement?
56902She had been crying the night before-- eh?
56902She has won you, has n''t she?
56902She would n''t talk at all over the wire, if she did, would she? 56902 Should I scream out for help?
56902So,she continued in the same defiant tone,"it''s another poison, this time-- this physostigmine?"
56902Something about Rascon?
56902Suppose I refuse to do it?
56902Suppose it was either?
56902That is, is it in a dream? 56902 That is,"he added,"I mean-- how did you know that?
56902That may be,I confessed,"but why did she pay?
56902That there was a-- duel by poison?
56902That? 56902 That?"
56902The maid? 56902 Then I suppose you have no objection to my sharing the examination with you?"
56902Then ca n''t you understand how a woman who knows might be driven desperate by it? 56902 Then it''s to him you''ve been talking-- not to me?"
56902Then what is his theory?
56902Then what was it?
56902Then what was it?
56902Then what?
56902Then who was it called Shattuck?
56902Then why did you mention belladonna?
56902Then you are n''t going to write it, after all?
56902Then you credit the Shattuck rumors?
56902Then you knew all about-- what was going on, all along?
56902Then you mean you think that Wilford ate one of these things?
56902Then you really regard the dreams as important?
56902Then you swear that these reports are true?
56902Then you think that that''s what Lathrop meant when he said he strongly disagreed with the theory?
56902Then you think that you will be able to find out from Mrs. Wilford''s dreams more than she''ll ever tell you or any one else about the case?
56902Then you''ll go?
56902There was another woman came in, was n''t there?
56902They merely rode down to the beach and had lunch together?
56902To what am I indebted for the honor?
56902Trouble? 56902 Vina called on Honora Wilford?
56902Want me to find out?
56902Want to use it?
56902Was it Mrs. Lathrop or Shattuck-- or-- was it Mrs. Wilford herself?
56902Was it Vina Lathrop?
56902Was it a man or a woman?
56902Was it belladonna?
56902Was n''t she jealous of Mr. Wilford-- and some one?
56902Was that all that happened?
56902Well, what is this wonderful Freud theory, anyhow?
56902Well, what''s your opinion?
56902Well,I exclaimed,"what was all that kindergarten stuff?"
56902Well-- what then? 56902 Well-- which were you following?"
56902Well-- who was it?
56902Were the dreams I wrote for you all right?
56902Were there any flowers?
56902What about Lathrop''s wife, Vina?
56902What about that bean Jameson picked up here?
56902What about them?
56902What about this new development?
56902What did Shattuck say to that?
56902What did Shattuck tell her?
56902What did he do?
56902What did he say to that?
56902What did he say?
56902What did he want this time?
56902What did you do with it?
56902What did you do?
56902What did you hear?
56902What difference does that make, Walter?
56902What do I care-- for anything-- now?
56902What do we know now that we did n''t know before?
56902What do you call it and what was it really for?
56902What do you know about Mrs. Wilford''s whereabouts on the night Mr. Wilford was killed?
56902What do you know about him?
56902What do you make of it all?
56902What do you mean-- ordeal bean?
56902What do you mean?
56902What do you mean?
56902What do you really_ know_ about her?
56902What do you think is the trouble?
56902What do you think it indicates?
56902What do you think of it?
56902What do you think?
56902What do youse want?
56902What does it do?
56902What does it mean?
56902What else could it have been? 56902 What happened on one of these occasions?"
56902What have I done? 56902 What have_ you_ found?"
56902What is it that I can do for you now?
56902What is it you want me to do now?
56902What is it you want to know?
56902What is it?
56902What is it?
56902What makes you say that?
56902What next?
56902What next?
56902What of Doctor Lathrop?
56902What of Doctor Lathrop?
56902What of him?
56902What of it?
56902What of it?
56902What of the dream about Lathrop?
56902What seems to be the trouble?
56902What was Chase''s answer?
56902What was I to do?
56902What was all that rigmarole of the numbers?
56902What was in it?
56902What was in them? 56902 What was that test?"
56902What was the cause of death?
56902What was your idea in having her write those dreams out again?
56902What were the exact words?
56902What were you thinking about that person?
56902What''s in them?
56902What''s next?
56902What''s on your mind, McCabe?
56902What''s that?
56902What''s that?
56902What''s that?
56902What''s that?
56902What''s the idea, Kennedy?
56902What''s the matter?
56902What''s the trouble?
56902What''s this-- phy-- physos-- what you call it?
56902What, may I ask, were the grounds?
56902What-- to trail her?
56902When Mr. Shattuck called up, he asked her first,''I suppose they''re watching you yet, Honora?'' 56902 Where are they?"
56902Where are they?
56902Where did you find out?
56902Where did you find out?
56902Where did you get it?
56902Where did_ he_ get his information?
56902Where do you suppose she got it?
56902Where else?
56902Where has Mrs. Lathrop gone?
56902Where has she gone?
56902Where is Chase?
56902Where were Shattuck and Lathrop last night?
56902Which one-- Rascon or Chase?
56902Which would I save?
56902Which? 56902 Who is it that you were thinking about?"
56902Who is this Zona Dare, did you say?
56902Who should know better than I what madame was doing?
56902Who told you?
56902Who was it?
56902Who was she?
56902Who was she?
56902Who''s he?
56902Who?
56902Who?
56902Who_ must_ it have been? 56902 Why did Doctor Lathrop say he dissented from the theory?"
56902Why did Shattuck meet her here?
56902Why did n''t you tell me this before?
56902Why did that McCabe tell you he had a day off?
56902Why did you tell me that in the first place?
56902Why do you make these-- these accusations?
56902Why do you think you know so much?
56902Why have you followed me here?
56902Why not ask Mrs. Wilford herself about it?
56902Why not rest while we talk?
56902Why not?
56902Why should I? 56902 Why was she here?
56902Why, Mr. Jameson, you''ve beaten me to it-- and have you got the story?
56902Why, that''s a place on the west coast of Africa, is n''t it? 56902 Why, what has he done now?"
56902Why, you poor foolish little girl-- don''t you understand yet? 56902 Why?
56902Why?
56902Why?
56902Why?
56902Will you write it?
56902Yes?
56902Yes?
56902Yes?
56902You did? 56902 You do n''t expect her to help you?"
56902You do n''t mean to say that you attach any importance to dreams?
56902You do n''t suppose I''d let her get away, do you?
56902You do n''t suppose she suspects anything of this?
56902You gave him up?
56902You got the money with you?
56902You have examined the contents of the stomach?
56902You have records of what she has told you?
56902You know the talk about the Lathrops?
56902You know this little thing-- the blood- pressure measurer that is used by the doctors? 56902 You love madame, do n''t you, Celeste?"
56902You made him write one for you?
56902You mean it?
56902You mean they_ eat_ it-- a poison?
56902You never really cared for her-- did you?
56902You recall what Leslie told us, what Mrs. Wilford told us, and what Doctor Lathrop later confirmed-- her dream of fear?
56902You remember Celeste?
56902You remember that, at the end, I suggested that she might have overlooked something? 56902 You remember the two glasses on the desk when they found him?"
56902You remember, I found his pupils contracted almost to a pin- point?
56902You saw that list of words?
56902You say there was a woman there?
56902You say you saw a woman?
56902You think I ca n''t observe them without experiencing them? 56902 You were acquainted with Honora Wilford, I believe?"
56902You will excuse me a moment?
56902You will excuse me a moment?
56902You''ve been down in Mrs. Smith''s apartment?
56902You''ve heard about Vina and the doctor?
56902You''ve heard nothing more about the gossip regarding Mrs. Lathrop and Shattuck?
56902You''ve told Doyle?
56902_ Où est Ma''m''selle Zona?_she asked.
56902''To see you again, Vance?
56902''You do n''t care if Kennedy finds out about your interest in the play, about your life, about Freud, the"soul scar"theory, and all that?
56902A case, you say-- eh?"
56902Above all, was the report true?
56902And so, when I knew what it was that was taking place-- what was I to do?"
56902And then, who of us has not sown his wild oats?"
56902And then?
56902And was Honora not the simple, unsophisticated woman I had thought?
56902And were n''t you protecting yourself?
56902And what''s the reason for that break in the report?
56902And who is he that he should set himself up to determine fact and fake?
56902And why had she made the substitution that she did?
56902And yet, in the girlhood days, who shall say she did not learn something of the Calabar bean, of the drug, and of its properties?
56902And yet, was it proof?
56902Are n''t there motives enough that we know for you to have wanted him out of the way?"
56902Are they true?"
56902Are you acquainted with the nature of the dreams?"
56902Are you afraid of something?"
56902Are you detective?"
56902Are you writing them into your column?"
56902As for Honora, was she, I kept wondering, after all, the consciously frigid, unconsciously passionate woman?
56902As for Shattuck, was he really fascinated by Vina, after all?
56902At least, she was friendly with him?"
56902At the same time was he playing a game with Vina Lathrop?
56902Before she could recover from the shock that the bald statement seemed to give her, Craig shot out,"Has Doyle told you?"
56902But it''s a poison just the same-- ain''t it?"
56902But the truth-- what was it?
56902But then without that eternal curiosity, who could write?
56902But was it about herself?
56902But was it true?
56902But what do you suppose it is all about, Vance?''"
56902But why?
56902But, if the obvious were rejected, what remained?
56902But, then, who is not, just now?
56902By the way, I suppose you know about that little affair between Mrs. Wilford and Mrs. Lathrop out at the Brent Rock Country Club?"
56902Ca n''t we put two and two together?
56902Ca n''t you see she really does n''t love you-- never did-- never could?"
56902Ca n''t you see she really does n''t love you-- never did-- never could?"
56902Ca n''t you see she really does n''t love you-- never did-- never could?''"
56902Could I have been right?
56902Could it be possible that we ourselves, in turn, were being watched by her?
56902Could it be such a thing which Kennedy was driving at disclosing?
56902Could it have been because she did not love him?"
56902Could it have been because she did not really want to go to him?
56902Could it have been to the maid?"
56902Could it have been with Honora Wilford herself that he was talking?
56902Did Wilford write that letter, or was it written for him?
56902Did he know something about his client that he must shield her from, or was he just a bit vexed at her himself for a certain lack of frankness?
56902Did he realize that he was getting hopelessly tangled?
56902Did it mean anything, this immediate appeal by Vina for help from the Freudian interpreter of the Village?
56902Did n''t you know that, when you planned this ordeal you speak about?
56902Did n''t you really force Mr. Wilford to eat that bean?
56902Did she know something-- and was she really afraid of us?
56902Did she know that Shattuck had possessed some, after all?
56902Did she know that he knew it?
56902Did that mean that at the present moment, as she faced Kennedy, she was repeating the same performance?
56902Did you ever see this man here-- or this woman?"
56902Did you get that?"
56902Do n''t you remember when Lathrop told us she had told him that the bull was so close to her that she could feel its hot breath?"
56902Do n''t you see now what I mean?
56902Do n''t you see?
56902Do n''t you see?
56902Do n''t you think it concerns us-- just a bit more intimately than it does men?"
56902Do n''t you think that significant?"
56902Do you catch the idea?
56902Do you get what I mean?
56902Do you know her?"
56902Does it make any difference?"
56902Doyle?"
56902Ever hear love described as a fire?
56902For a moment Kennedy''s manner seemed to take the doctor off his professional guard-- or did he intend it to seem so?
56902For what?
56902Get it?
56902Get me?"
56902Get that''dear''at the end?
56902Had Doctor Lathrop been the lion in her path, in some way?
56902Had Honora been clever enough to penetrate our ruse?
56902Had Shattuck and Honora, cornered, as they thought by Doyle, leaped at any suggestion?
56902Had Shattuck lied to save her, when he saw that Doyle was framing a case against her?
56902Had Vail Wilford stood in his way with both women?
56902Had Vina and Shattuck, as well, been dabbling in the new dream philosophy?
56902Had a new scandal been brewing and had the sensational press of the city been deprived of it by some untoward circumstance?
56902Had he a reason?
56902Had he framed this duel by poison, preparing safety for himself, death for Wilford?
56902Had he some inkling that Vina was merely using him?
56902Had he suddenly taken leave of his senses?
56902Had it been really an interest in our visit that had prompted it?
56902Had it been really jealousy-- or was it merely wounded pride?
56902Had it been said by Vina of Honora-- or by Honora of Vina?
56902Had it been smuggled in on vessels from the near- by wharves?
56902Had she come to watch Shattuck?
56902Had she known of Shattuck''s regard for Honora and had that aroused in her a desire to break it up, for her own advantage?
56902Had she loved Vail Wilford deeply?
56902Had she rejected one word to cast about for another equally natural?
56902Had she steeled herself for this ordeal, as merely the first of many?
56902Had she told the truth?
56902Had the remark in some way been a shot at the doctor?
56902Had we been followed here?
56902Has his treatment done you any good?"
56902Has n''t she told you?"
56902Her husband or Shattuck-- I wonder which?"
56902His eyes were narrowed, the pupils to a pin- point-- am I right about that, Professor?
56902How about that?"
56902How did he take it?"
56902How far was she piqued at the thought of not having hold enough over Shattuck, also, to keep him from Vina?
56902How was Lathrop-- and why there?"
56902I ask you-- why?"
56902I guess it was what he wanted to know-- eh?"
56902I mean, anything connecting it with Shattuck?"
56902I suppose Doctor Lathrop used to say that too?"
56902I suppose Doyle described it to you-- its devilish uses in the Calabar-- the way the natives use it in ordeals-- and all that sort of thing?"
56902I wanted to warn him-- yet how could I?
56902I''m sure you wo n''t mind?"
56902If I can reconstruct what_ both_--see?
56902If Shattuck was known to have had in his possession some of the fatal Calabar beans, what interpretation could be placed on it?
56902If so, judged by Village standards, was it a hint, a strange example of the so- called"new morality"?
56902If the report of this Rascon had been true, did it not seem to explain and motivate Honora?
56902Is anybody listening?"
56902Is he mixed up in it?"
56902Is it a confession?"
56902Is it?"
56902Is n''t it clear?"
56902Is n''t it likely that it was a frame- up against her?"
56902Is n''t it, Belle?"
56902Is n''t that so?"
56902Is that why you left Mr. Wilford''s name out?
56902Is the maid, Celeste, here?"
56902Is there anything else?"
56902It will go hard with you, you understand?"
56902Know him?"
56902Lathrop?"
56902Lathrop?"
56902Let me tell it-- listen to me-- will you?
56902May I?"
56902Might it not be that he was laying the foundations for an alibi in case Kennedy or some one else retailed stories to her?
56902Moreover, had my own interpretation of his Freudian analysis of her been correct?
56902Must one incriminate oneself by dreams?"
56902No?
56902Oh, why must I be badgered and hounded this way?"
56902Or had Doyle and McCabe executed their end of the scheme clumsily?
56902Or had Honora really discovered the dictagraph in her own home?
56902Or had she confessed to something, in the hope of saving him?
56902Or was Honora contemptuous of a woman of Vina''s type and was silence without any admission her sweetest revenge?
56902Or was he dissembling so as not to betray anything to us?
56902Or was it really to watch her husband?
56902Or was it that Chase was working to protect his client and save her-- at any cost and in spite of her own wishes?
56902Or was it to watch Vina?
56902Or was there some deeper reason?
56902Or, it suddenly occurred to me, was Honora deeper than I suspected, and was her seeming ignorance only a pose?
56902Passing by the paraldehyde cocktail, what''s good?"
56902Picked up here?
56902Pretty pointed, was n''t it?
56902Remember Freud?--a crowd, something secret?
56902See?"
56902Sexless women wo n''t have children-- then after whom will the next generation after them take?"
56902Shattuck had been pursuing Mrs. Lathrop, had n''t he?"
56902She glanced at him covertly, as much as to say,"So, then, you have been talking about me to him?"
56902She had been treated for some time by Doctor Lathrop-- you know, the society physician they all run to?"
56902She ought to tell for her own sake-- don''t you think?"
56902Strange, do n''t you think, Kennedy?"
56902Then, leading the detective on,"Now, Rascon, what did your employer, Mr. Wilford, say when that report was presented to him?"
56902There-- don''t you see?
56902To cap it all, what of Honora?
56902Was Celeste to be trusted-- even over a dictagraph?
56902Was Craig, also, laying a foundation for the ultimate conviction of Honora?
56902Was Rascon ready to risk anything rather than to have those reports pass into unfriendly hands?
56902Was Shattuck proof?
56902Was Shattuck telling the truth about what happened-- or was he coloring it to save himself?
56902Was Vina fishing-- or did she really know something?
56902Was he determined to save his client, even at the cost of her lover?
56902Was he inhuman?
56902Was he not building up motives?
56902Was he still woman- crazy?
56902Was he waiting for more conclusive evidence?
56902Was he, after all, just a murderer?
56902Was it a clue?
56902Was it a trap?
56902Was it an elaborate camouflage?
56902Was it because he was sure that she would not believe it?
56902Was it because she had checked a first thought suggested by the word and had taken extra time to substitute something for it?
56902Was it because they knew nothing, or was there a tacit understanding between them never to mention some mutual secret?
56902Was it because they recognized it as a dangerous subject?
56902Was it due to her more emotional nature?
56902Was it merely due to her insane infatuation for Shattuck?
56902Was it morphine, as in the cases Doyle cited?"
56902Was it not what he would have said to Honora, anyway?
56902Was it superficial-- as so much of that little world into which Kennedy had plunged me?
56902Was it that Doyle, by his manner, antagonized her?
56902Was it wholly natural reticence?
56902Was it, as I had believed at first,"heart"?
56902Was not Kennedy practically taxing her with loving another man than her husband?
56902Was she jealous of Shattuck paying attentions to the woman who had so fascinated her own husband?
56902Was she telling the truth-- or was she really a great actress who had just found herself?
56902Was she the marble woman he had made me think her?
56902Was she, after all, guilty-- or at least a party to the crime?
56902Was that why Honora was silent?
56902Was this all confirmation of the rumored relations between Vina Lathrop and Vail Wilford, as Doyle had dug the story up?
56902Was this call what he had been waiting for?
56902Was this the jealous soul mate pursuing her affinity and finding him false?
56902What about you?"
56902What about?''
56902What are the numbers?"
56902What could be better advertising than for the celebrated case in the news to be connected with the tea- room?
56902What could be the purpose of bringing the stranger to us now?
56902What did he mean by the inflection of his voice and by the look?
56902What did it mean?
56902What did it mean?
56902What did it mean?
56902What did it mean?
56902What do these comfortable nibblers at anarchy expect to get out of it?"
56902What do you mean?"
56902What do you think?"
56902What does he say?"
56902What does that mean, you ask?
56902What had Craig overheard through that dictagraph?
56902What had that dream meant?
56902What held her back?
56902What is it that this man knows?
56902What next?
56902What of it?"
56902What was back of it all?
56902What was human emotion, compared to a good record and report in the files at Headquarters?
56902What was it-- fear for him or of him?
56902What was it?"
56902What was it?"
56902What was the matter?
56902What was the purpose that lay back of this visit?
56902What was the reason?
56902What were her emotions?
56902What would a Calabar bean be lying on the floor here for?"
56902What''s he done?
56902What''s that, Kennedy?
56902What''s the explanation?"
56902What''s the use?
56902What, indeed, was the viewpoint-- according to the"new morality"?
56902When?
56902Where are_ your_ children?
56902Where did you get it?"
56902Where is the body?"
56902Where was she?''
56902Who wanted her husband out of the way?
56902Why did she cut out that about the hot breath of the bull?
56902Why did she deny absolutely the face of Shattuck?"
56902Why did she?
56902Why did you do it?"
56902Why did you tell him to give her up-- that she never had loved him, did not, and never could love him?"
56902Why had he not spoken it?
56902Why should she try to conceal under a cloak of indifference her real interest in the thing?
56902Why was he in Shattuck''s apartment?
56902Why was she unable to go to him?
56902Why, what do you mean?"
56902Why, you and Doyle and the newspapers"--nodding insultingly at me--"ought to be able to do that best, do n''t you think?
56902Why?
56902Wilford?"
56902Wilford?"
56902Wilford?"
56902Wilford?"
56902Will you help me?"
56902Wo n''t you write that other dream for me, also?"
56902Would I ever have hit on it by luck?"
56902Would he not be able to discover that secretly she cared really very deeply for him and not for Vail?"
56902Would she have acted in just this manner if it had been that she believed Kennedy to be making a direct accusation against her?
56902XIII THE MECHANICAL EAR"Then it was Honora you overheard over the dictagraph?"
56902XVI THE FINESSE"What''s the next move?"
56902Yes?"
56902You and Doyle will keep me informed?"
56902You did n''t find any traces of others about, did you?"
56902You have been reading the French detective tales-- eh?--_Cherchez la femme_?"
56902You know the lawyer, Vail Wilford?
56902You know this ordeal bean from the Calabar?
56902You might tell that to Doyle-- but why tell me?
56902You remember old Honore Chappelle?
56902You remember the Buchanan case?"
56902You see, he next asked her:''Ca n''t you see me?
56902You''re not acquainted with the test?
56902greeted Doctor Leslie; then catching sight of Kennedy, he entered and asked,"Have you discovered anything yet, Professor?"
56902he queried,"or do you mean you think he was devoting too much time and attention to the particular client?"
57138... Do you know my fattening- coop under the tree back of the kitchen?
57138A cigarette?
57138A love- affair maybe?
57138A singing canary?
57138Afraid of ghosts?
57138And do you think you have complete proof now?
57138And have you such a place?
57138And the inside?
57138And the rest of us?
57138And why not, I should like to know?
57138And you found...?
57138And you have all sorts of jolly parties?
57138And you say their evidence is important?
57138Any gutter pipe or lightning rod?
57138Any news?
57138Anything else? 57138 Anything else?"
57138Are you alone?
57138Are you going to search every tree in the woods?
57138Are you going to take him single- handed?
57138Are you sure of that?
57138Are you there? 57138 But I forget, you do n''t live in the city, do you?"
57138But I ought to know, should n''t I?
57138But Pen... are n''t you glad?
57138But how could Riever get away with it?
57138But how is it you came to tell me... and like this?
57138But if I might offer a suggestion, sir...?
57138But if I should n''t be able to?
57138But if I was his mark, why did n''t he take a shot direct at me?
57138But if it was I you were doing it for, dearest...?
57138But if it''s the best thing to do?
57138But it would be a point of honor with that gang to convict me, see? 57138 But my story?"
57138But our house,_ our_ house? 57138 But what am I saying?
57138But what do you know about Riever?
57138But where are you going to keep me, Pen?
57138But whom could I trust in an affair of this sort? 57138 But why?"
57138But with his money he could easily get it done, could n''t he? 57138 But you do love me, do n''t you?"
57138But you were much attached to him?
57138But you were prominent?
57138But you''ve thought better of it now?
57138But... but would they allow you to?
57138Ca n''t you establish a connection between the barrel and the house on Thirty- Ninth street?
57138Can I get you anything, Miss?
57138Can you think of anything else?
57138Come to see my little house some day?
57138Could n''t I carry messages to your friends?
57138Could n''t I help?
57138Could n''t I talk to you without him?
57138Could n''t you just load the stones in the canoe?
57138Could you not request the jury to retire and hear this lady''s story in your chambers? 57138 Counsell is caught?
57138Did he find anything in the house?
57138Did he look in?
57138Did he seem agitated?
57138Did n''t Counsell tell you where he was going?
57138Did n''t he know already?
57138Did n''t you talk down on the beach?
57138Did the grocer know the man who bought the barrel?
57138Did this have any effect on Mr. Dongan''s attitude towards you?
57138Did you go to sleep too?
57138Did you not tell all you know?
57138Did you undertake to keep me here for him?
57138Do I look soft?
57138Do n''t you get lonely?
57138Do n''t you like being here?
57138Do n''t you understand how sweet it has been for me to work for you; to lie for you; to steal food out of the house? 57138 Do they expect me to be taken in so easily?"
57138Do you expect me to believe that you undertook to save a total stranger from the law?
57138Do you get it? 57138 Do you know how to use it?"
57138Do you know who Spike Talley was working for when he disappeared?
57138Do you know? 57138 Do you live in this town?"
57138Do you mean to say you have been searching the woods... with all these strangers about?
57138Do you mean to say you have had to associate with such people?
57138Do you mean you have spoken to him?
57138Do you presume to decide from that whether or not he is capable of murder?
57138Do you suppose I''m enjoying the present situation? 57138 Do you suppose Mr. Riever advised Mr. Dongan to buy it?"
57138Do you undertake to read men?
57138Do you walk much in New York?
57138Do you want anything else of me?
57138Does that make things clear to you?
57138Driving your sheep to the steamboat?
57138Eh?
57138Eh?
57138Even if he was guilty of a foul crime?
57138Find white people here? 57138 From memory?"
57138Glad?
57138Gone?
57138Guest- room?
57138Had Mr. Dongan any enemies?
57138Has that got anything to do with it?
57138Have n''t you any brothers and sisters, Don?
57138Have you a home there, too?
57138Have you any information?
57138Have you any photographs of yourself as a child?
57138Have you anything more?
57138Have you been reading the newspapers about the Counsell case?
57138Have you no white neighbors at all?
57138He would n''t be stooping to you?
57138He''s supposed to exercise some discretion... You''re really all right again?
57138Hey?
57138How about it?
57138How about me?
57138How about that stock you spoke of?
57138How about the servants?
57138How are you?
57138How can I fight for myself tied hand and foot like this?
57138How can I? 57138 How can one tell?"
57138How can we get away without passing them?
57138How can you be so sure in the dark?
57138How can you be sure?
57138How could I do it?
57138How could I make my lips shape the words?
57138How could he do that?
57138How could he have got away?
57138How did he get that name?
57138How did it come about?
57138How did it come out?
57138How did she wake you?
57138How did your revolver get away from you?
57138How do I know? 57138 How do you know I wo n''t?"
57138How do you know?
57138How do you know?
57138How do you know?
57138How do you mean?
57138How do you mean?
57138How do you reconcile that with your conscience?
57138How do you suppose he made his getaway?
57138How long did you sleep?
57138How long have I got to submit to this?
57138How much do you want?
57138How on earth did you come to stray down here?
57138How quick can I get back to New York? 57138 I do n''t know... You''ll have breakfast with us?"
57138I suppose there are lots of agreeable people in the neighborhood?
57138I''ve earned this money, have n''t I? 57138 I, good?
57138I? 57138 If I give him up to you, will you pay me the reward?"
57138If I was... friendly with him, do you think I''m the sort of person to give him up?
57138If he did it, does it make any difference who he is?
57138If he tries to come in...?
57138If somebody offered you a fortune would you turn it down?
57138If you put me in those woods will I ever see you again?
57138In what part of the town is it?
57138Inform against him?
57138Inform? 57138 Is he a little man, ill- favored?"
57138Is it because you detest me so?
57138Is it safe?
57138Is my father there?
57138Is n''t it rather lonely here?
57138Is that all?
57138Is that boy coming up here?
57138Is that key lost too?
57138Is there anybody in sight?
57138Is your way of retreat still open?
57138Like to come along? 57138 May I see another?"
57138Me? 57138 Midnight?"
57138Mind, if there''s any funny work about this, if there''s anybody near you when you come by Babe you do n''t get the room number, see?
57138Miss Broome, has this man been in court?
57138My revolver, eh? 57138 No white woman near?"
57138Nobody but the light- keeper?
57138Not you?
57138Oh my Pen, how can I let you go to- night?
57138Oh, Pen, it''s all right between you two, is n''t it?
57138Oh, do you know him too?
57138Oh, do you think he''s good- looking?
57138Oh, how could you?
57138Oh, why do you do that now?
57138Oh, you have, have you? 57138 Pen, are you there?"
57138Pen, what am I to think from this?
57138Perhaps he had a glimpse of the newspaper?
57138Pleases me?
57138Shall we go outside?
57138So she was out of bed?
57138So she woke you up?
57138Something has happened?
57138Suppose you ca n''t handle him?
57138Suppose you find him and he refuses to give himself up?
57138That pleases you, does n''t it?
57138The Tombs?
57138The man identified by the second taxi- driver as he who admitted Talley to the house?
57138Then what about justice?
57138Then what did you do?
57138Then what is it? 57138 Then why not put her on the stand?"
57138Then why should he buy the lots?
57138Then why worry? 57138 Then you know people in New York?"
57138Then you''re satisfied that I was right, are n''t you?
57138Then your contention is that Riever had this inoffensive man Dongan killed merely so that he could get back at Counsell?
57138There''s nothing wrong is there?
57138They are here, too? 57138 They would n''t call it evidence.... Just the same_ I know!_... What can you add to it?"
57138Thinking about what people would say? 57138 This afternoon we were like pals.... What have I done to offend you?"
57138This has n''t got what I want?
57138To what, my dear?
57138To you?
57138Union Central?
57138Was that necessary?
57138Well then, anything you wanted.... Do you want to do good? 57138 Well then...?"
57138Well then?
57138Well what''s the door from that room into the hall doing locked?
57138Well why not do it? 57138 Well, assuming that the barrel contained a body when it arrived at the country place, what became of it after that?"
57138Well, do n''t you suppose it was a feeling that they had been unjust to you that made them cheer so to- day when you appeared?
57138Well, how about yourself?
57138Well, is this good- by?
57138Well, what are you going to do about it?
57138Well, what are you going to do?
57138Well, what do you propose?
57138Well, why not?
57138Well... if you''re not hiding him, where is he?
57138Well?
57138Well?
57138Were n''t you sorry then?
57138What about?
57138What are men''s principal incentives?
57138What are you doing in the house at this hour?
57138What are you doing out so late, sister?
57138What are you going to do with me?
57138What are you telling me this for?
57138What are you thinking about?
57138What are you trying to protect the man for?
57138What are your plans?
57138What are your rights in Maryland?
57138What cause?
57138What did he mean by that?
57138What did you come here for?
57138What did you do it for?
57138What did you do next?
57138What did you do then?
57138What did you expect?
57138What did you want to deceive your father for?
57138What difference does it make?
57138What do you do when the wind blows?
57138What do you know about love? 57138 What do you know?"
57138What do you think about me, really?
57138What do you think of the situation at the Point?
57138What do you want me to read this horrible stuff for?
57138What do you want of me?
57138What do you want so much money for?
57138What do you want?
57138What does anybody want money for?
57138What does it matter?
57138What does it mean?
57138What does she take us for, a pair of suckers?
57138What else did Mr. Keesing tell you?
57138What for?
57138What for?
57138What for?
57138What good am I to anybody now? 57138 What good?
57138What happened to him?
57138What has happened to me? 57138 What is happening to me?"
57138What is it?
57138What is there?
57138What is this man to you?
57138What is this?
57138What kind was it?
57138What more natural refuge could you have, dear?
57138What next?
57138What of it?
57138What of it?
57138What place is this?
57138What possible reason could Riever have had?
57138What road is this?
57138What room is this?
57138What sort of an imbecile do they take me for? 57138 What sort of job?"
57138What sort of man is he?
57138What time is it, Pen?
57138What time is it?
57138What was in that letter you got?
57138What will I look like in the morning?
57138What will become of your reputation?
57138What will we do with the canoe?
57138What would I be doing with a parasol at Broome''s Point?
57138What would I think of him?
57138What you got so much clothes on for? 57138 What''s behind here?"
57138What''s going on there?
57138What''s that got to do with you?
57138What''s that?
57138What''s that?
57138What''s that?
57138What''s the biggest hotel here next to the Bellevue?
57138What''s the idea?
57138What''s the matter, Aunt Maria?
57138What''s the matter?
57138What''s the matter?
57138What''s the matter?
57138What''s the matter?
57138What''s this?
57138What''s this?
57138What''s time got to do with it? 57138 What''s wrong here?"
57138What''s your plan?
57138When will I see you again?
57138When will you come again?
57138When will you come?
57138Where are we going?
57138Where are you setting out for so busily?
57138Where could you go?
57138Where did he go from here?
57138Where did you get it?
57138Where did you get it?
57138Where now?
57138Where was I?
57138Where was the master of the place?
57138Where would I meet you?
57138Where would you get it?
57138Where would you go?
57138Where''s that?
57138Where''s the key?
57138Where''ve you been?
57138Where?
57138Who brought you home?
57138Who do you suppose it is?
57138Who is she?
57138Who knows what may have passed between the two men? 57138 Who offers the reward?"
57138Who was it?
57138Who were his friends?
57138Who''s your letter from?
57138Who?
57138Why ca n''t you be natural with me?
57138Why could n''t we wade around the edge of the pond?
57138Why could n''t you leave me alone?
57138Why did n''t they see your tracks in the sand?
57138Why do people live in houses?
57138Why do you suppose he did n''t say good- night to your father?
57138Why have n''t you the same incentive as other men?
57138Why is it preposterous?
57138Why is it unjust?
57138Why not? 57138 Why not?
57138Why not?
57138Why not?
57138Why should I?
57138Why should he introduce himself to us under his right name?
57138Why should he leave his pistol behind to convict him?
57138Why should he?
57138Why should you be unhappy?
57138Why should you go away now?
57138Why?
57138Why?
57138Will that feed us?
57138Will what?
57138Will you accept it?
57138Will you get in?
57138Will you give me the money?
57138Will you take a couple of my men along with you?
57138With muffled oars?
57138Wo n''t you come too?
57138Wo n''t you eat?
57138Wo n''t you give me the money?
57138Would Mr. Dongan have consulted Mr. Riever about his speculations?
57138Would it matter for a little while?
57138Would my life be worth saving with this accusation hanging over me? 57138 Would n''t you be more comfortable here?"
57138Would n''t you like to go up to Baltimore for a day?
57138Would you be sorry?
57138Would you like me to take you home first?
57138Would you mind leaving the window open?
57138Would you mind very much,Pen faltered,"if I said I suspected that it was Spike Talley who shot Collis Dongan?"
57138Would you really take me on such terms?
57138Would you undertake to bring him in?
57138Yes sir?
57138You are so beautiful that way?
57138You come far?
57138You did not like him at college, did you?
57138You engaged detectives to help you?
57138You feel better now?
57138You have been seeing him? 57138 You have been with him all day?"
57138You have n''t much of an opinion of women, have you?
57138You knew him well?
57138You know him?
57138You mean Riever hired Spike... and when the job was done... croaked him?
57138You mean about the railway?
57138You mean that?
57138You mean you''d do as much for anybody?
57138You play?
57138You read the paper, did n''t you?
57138You stay at your club then?
57138You think maybe some maiden''s fancy has been caught by his good looks?
57138You''re not sorry then that you told me?
57138... Am I not your father?
57138... Did you think I was going to store you among the potatoes?"
57138... Do I horrify you?"
57138... Have you any doubts of me?"
57138... Well you might have taken your father into your confidence... Did you find anything?"
57138... Well, if Riever knew... What suddenly started you off on this tack?"
57138... What brings the tears to your eyes, dearest?"
57138... What do you say?"
57138... What happened after you got home?"
57138... What has happened to me?"
57138... What is it, dearest?
57138After awhile he said:"It''s a great thought, is n''t it, to think of having somebody you could be absolutely honest with?"
57138After awhile she murmured in a small voice:"Then you will stay here until we can think up something else?"
57138All her being hung on the agonizing question: was he there?
57138Aloud she said rather sharply:"Well, it''s your own fault, is n''t it?"
57138Am I not your father?
57138And Maud?"
57138And the old man?
57138Anxious about your thirty pieces of silver, eh?
57138Anyhow how could I get my side of the case before them?"
57138Anything else?"
57138Are you a bull yourself?"
57138As she made no answer he asked somewhat uneasily:"That''s right, is n''t it?"
57138At the breakfast table next morning Pen suddenly interrupted her father''s endless, querulous complaints by saying:"Well, how about me?"
57138At the scraping of the bottom on the sand, a voice issued out of the nearest tent:"Who''s that?"
57138Babe and I will take a room at the hotel and you come call on us, see?
57138Before he could explode Pen asked her question:"You are from New York, are n''t you?"
57138But how can I keep from kissing you?"
57138But how could she bring herself to speak of it?
57138But what can I do?"
57138But what could she do?
57138But what did he want to stay for?
57138But what else could I do under the circumstances?
57138But what good will that do you if it is your contention that he murdered his tool instead of paying him?"
57138But what then?
57138But... but must you go?"
57138Ca n''t you connect this Talley directly with the deed?"
57138Ca n''t you stay with me an hour without beginning to fidget?
57138Could he or could he not have made it?
57138Could she withstand him in the close intimacy of his little tent?
57138Counsell?"
57138Dared she credit what this story implied?
57138Did n''t you have interest enough to watch which way he went after having warned him?"
57138Do you get that?
57138Do you know Riever well?"
57138Do you know?
57138Do you know?"
57138Do you realize I have n''t kissed you yet?"
57138Do you realize what a hue and cry will be raised in the morning?
57138Do you remember the Riever divorce case three years ago?"
57138Do you remember the little foundling that used to work for the Snellings on the Island?
57138Do you think I could sleep with you in the room?"
57138Do you think you could carry everything the rest of the way?"
57138Finally he blurted out like a boy:"I say, what''s the matter?"
57138Finally he said as if at random:"By the way do you know what became of Keesing''s revolver?
57138Finally she managed to blurt out:"Where did you come from?"
57138From behind one of the glares came Delehanty''s growling voice:"Where is he?"
57138Hackett?"
57138Had he too, been instructed not to lose her?
57138Had she come upon the key to the whole mystery?
57138Had she?
57138Had she?
57138Have we no rights in it?"
57138Have you more evidence against him?"
57138He presently said with a casual air:"How about hate as an incentive?"
57138He was alone in the world, and he had a horror of his own company, see?
57138Her mind flew to the question: What is there?
57138How are you?"
57138How can I?
57138How can I?"
57138How could Riever have known that Dongan was trying to put it off on me?"
57138How could an intelligent person cope with it?
57138How could he have a heart?
57138How could she find out about her for sure?
57138How could she get him away from that dangerous neighborhood altogether?
57138How could she guide him to a safer hiding- place, and yet leave the way open to carry him what he needed from time to time?
57138How could she hope to win such eyes?
57138How could she take the risk?
57138How could that be?
57138How could you hope to escape?
57138How did you know?"
57138How should he have?
57138How was she going to get out of the house that night, and how reach Don when their enemies were camped squarely beside her path?
57138How was she to get facts?
57138How would she meet that situation?
57138How?"
57138I could n''t offer fairer than that, could I?
57138I gave out that I was Frank Jones from New Jersey, see?
57138In the end Pendleton himself was obliged to say:"You will have dinner with us?"
57138In the end he blurted it out awkwardly:"Why should n''t I tell you?
57138In what manner were new witnesses brought to you at this late date?"
57138Is he present?"
57138Is it because of the danger to my reputation?
57138Is n''t that strange?"
57138Is n''t that sweet to you?
57138Is that all there is to live for as long as I live?
57138Is there an old score to settle between you two?"
57138May I come too?"
57138Must n''t you let me decide for the time being?"
57138Not much sleep perhaps?
57138Once Counsell asked her directly:"Do you know New York?"
57138Or making butter and cleaning house?"
57138Or on that sandy peninsula, water?
57138Or you?
57138Pen thought:"Has he tried that too?
57138Pen''s inner voice cried:"What''s the use?
57138Pendleton went on:"Mr. Riever said if it would not be presuming too much, could he speak to you for a minute?
57138Presently she said:"I suppose it is useless to ask you to return that money?"
57138Presently they''ll come sneaking back... Expect me to lead them to him, do they?"
57138Riever?"
57138She kept up a running fire of questions:"How''s Alfred?
57138She said loudly:"How are all the folks?"
57138She said offhand:"Do you ever drive?"
57138Should n''t I?"
57138Suddenly he rasped at her:"So you assisted this murderer to escape?"
57138Suppose even then, the yacht was getting ready to sail?
57138Suppose he did n''t come?
57138Suppose her letter ended in the newspapers?
57138Suppose instead of fighting her he came crawling to her feet?
57138Suppose we do nothing, what will happen?
57138That I was sorry you were annoyed... Will you shake hands on it?"
57138That bird could n''t follow you up, could he?"
57138That letter of course brought it to a head.... Do n''t you see?
57138The chief said suddenly with the air of one springing a disagreeable surprise:"Had you ever seen Counsell before yesterday?"
57138The court- room buzzed with an excited whispering:"What do you suppose is up?"
57138The first look you gave me was not that kind at all?"
57138The ham- bone?
57138The judge said:"But if this Talley has disappeared can you_ prove_ anything?"
57138The moon came up, but what''s moonlight to automobilists?
57138Think what it means.... What do you say?"
57138This was all very well but what good did it do her?
57138To Corveth he said:"Well, what do you want me to do?"
57138To Pen he said breathlessly:"How can we meet?
57138To get rid of him Pen said:"Why do n''t you go?"
57138Was it possible that the horrible creature was really touched?
57138Was there no such thing as human dignity?
57138We must speak of it again... What time is it?"
57138What are you doing here?"
57138What chance had he of succor?
57138What could one do with them?
57138What did the man mean?"
57138What did you get me down among the orioles for?
57138What did you go to town for to- day?
57138What do I care what you think?
57138What do you know about loving, brought up good with a home and a family and all?
57138What do you think I am?"
57138What good if he had escaped for the moment?
57138What has respect to do with it?"
57138What have you and I got to do with what people say?"
57138What have you got to do with the likes of us?
57138What have you to eat?"
57138What is the matter?"
57138What makes you hold back?
57138What place would be safe if they took it into their heads to search the woods?
57138What say to a nice fat pullet for breakfast?"
57138What sort of a life would I have?
57138What sort of a life would I lead?"
57138What sort of a trial would you get?
57138What sort of report would Riever''s agent have made to his master?
57138What was in those packages you made me bring home in my car, a disguise for him?"
57138What was she to make of this?
57138What was the use?
57138What were they up to?
57138What would Don do?
57138What would he do?
57138What would you think of a man who unloaded all his troubles on a woman like that?"
57138What''s an hour or two''s sleep?
57138What''s the likes of you doing, trailed by a bull?"
57138What''s the use?"
57138What''s your position got to do with it?"
57138What?"
57138When he got in, seeing Pen''s meager bundles, he said:"Is that all you got all day?"
57138When she came back Danner asked with hypocritical solicitude:"Are you quite well again this morning?"
57138Where could he get food?
57138Where could you go?"
57138Where is he?"
57138Where was the courtesy to strangers for which the Broomes were famous?
57138Where would we end?
57138Where would you get food and fresh water?"
57138Who do you think killed him?"
57138Who do you think you are to speak this way to me?
57138Who is this man?"
57138Who the Hell are you?"
57138Who was it?"
57138Who would ever have expected to find you here?"
57138Why ca n''t you take it for granted?"
57138Why could n''t she be natural?
57138Why did n''t they do something?
57138Why did n''t they find out then?
57138Why did n''t you ride a hoss?"
57138Why did you send him?
57138Why do you begrudge it to me?
57138Why is it I never see a light in any of the windows facing this way?"
57138Why not go up Monday morning?"
57138Why, suppose I were found here?"
57138Will you meet me in Baltimore on Tuesday at noon?
57138Will you?
57138Will you?"
57138With the idea of seeing the thing through, she said carelessly:"May I see a New York paper?"
57138Without changing her outward manner the black- eyed one said:"Well, what''s the big idea, Miss?
57138Would I be advising you to anything that was n''t for your good?
57138You can smell them burning... Well, how about it?"
57138You know where he is?"
57138You stroll by him and if everything''s all right he''ll flash a card under the paper with the room number on it, see?
57138You were popular in college?"
57138You''ve lost touch with him, eh?"
57138_ What is before us_?
57138cried Blanche, ugly and callous,"if it''s only sob- stuff you''re after, you come to the wrong shop, see?
57138has it got anything to do with me... with Spike?"
57138he said severely..."What help could you give them anyway?"
57138the other replying:"How else can I save my lover?"
57138what do you know about turkey chicks?
55511A large fat man was he not?
55511A week is enough for the present,replied Marsh,"we came for two, did we not?
55511A woman?
55511About Pentland Corn,said he,"what do you think of him Bess?"
55511Addressed to him where?
55511After what he said I can believe anythingsaid Marsh,"what else?"
55511Against my wish,retorted Dr. Jim,"did I not say, that you were not to meddle in the matter?"
55511Against whom? 55511 Ah, your friend who was staying at the Carr Arms?
55511All of silver?
55511Am I very ill?
55511An annuity? 55511 And Frisco introduced himself as a cousin?"
55511And Stephen takes Ida?
55511And all this time you remained near the house?
55511And are you one of these emissaries?
55511And at the end of the year?
55511And did you think a revolver would frighten a man who had faced death fifty and a hundred times?
55511And for what reason?
55511And if I refuse?
55511And if I were to shoot you?
55511And if that is the case why should Frisco kill him?
55511And myself?
55511And the Colonel refused to help you?
55511And the clergyman, Corn?
55511And were a fool to do so,said Dr. Jim vigorously,"why in the name of heaven did you not tell me all this?
55511And what about me Jim?
55511And what did you do Petronella?
55511And what does Robin say?
55511And what were you doing out at that hour?
55511And when am I to congratulate you?
55511And who did it?
55511And who was it you say?
55511And why did you accuse her?
55511And why should n''t we get the reward if we could sir?
55511And why?
55511And you are still in love?
55511And?
55511Are you a good shot?
55511Are you about to measure your strength against mine?
55511Are you afraid of death Sidney?
55511Are you going to lie about that? 55511 Are you in love with one another then?"
55511Are you just going in? 55511 Are you on a walking tour?"
55511Are you sure she died at that time?
55511Are you talking of Sidney?
55511Are you to marry Bess?
55511As how Signor Dottore?
55511At Biffstead I suppose?
55511At what time did you hide in the Pine Woods?
55511Because I was mad at the time?
55511Bulwer Lytton''s romance? 55511 But Señor Manuel, if you started on this search together, how was it that you do not know for certain if Colonel Carr was successful?"
55511But Sidney, did you see Frisco crossing the moor?
55511But did you expect the man to be murdered while we were on our tour?
55511But he must have heard the shots?
55511But how did you know, Sidney dear?
55511But tell me, Dr. Jim, did you really think I had killed him?
55511But what is the difficulty?
55511But would he keep quiet over the matter?
55511But you can find him?
55511But you will have us watched?
55511By the way, did you find out anything about that pistol?
55511Can you explain how you do know?
55511Can you wonder at it considering the reputation of the name?
55511Carr found the treasure?
55511Colonel Carr?
55511Come Miss give it back?
55511Confess,she said with a laughing face,"you are not quite brokenhearted that I will not marry you?"
55511Corn-- Corn the rector? 55511 Did Carr know that Frisco-- we will continue to call him so as it is rather confusing-- did Carr I say, know that Frisco was his second cousin?"
55511Did Frisco come back with him from South America?
55511Did I not?
55511Did Mrs. Joyce know that Frisco was with Carr?
55511Did Sidney say this would happen?
55511Did he ever have guests to stay with him?
55511Did he go into the house?
55511Did he kill Colonel Carr?
55511Did he know the secret of Carr''s life?
55511Did he know your story?
55511Did he now?
55511Did he say that?
55511Did n''t Mrs. Marsh suspect?
55511Did not the baker and the rest suspect anything, when they found two day''s provisions untouched?
55511Did they tell you?
55511Did you ask Mrs. Marsh to explain?
55511Did you hear Señor Santiago say_ where_ he was going?
55511Did you know his servant, Frisco?
55511Did you meet Frisco at the same time?
55511Did you never go down to Saxham?
55511Did you not know she would see him in the afternoon?
55511Did you sleep at the flat?
55511Did you speak to him?
55511Did you succeed?
55511Did you tell Santiago?
55511Did your prophetic instinct tell you that?
55511Did_ he_ kill Carr?
55511Do n''t you think he killed Carr?
55511Do n''t you think that is unhealthy?
55511Do you know how the Colonel made his money?
55511Do you know the story of that expedition?
55511Do you know what that little coward has accused me of?
55511Do you know who this is?
55511Do you mean to say that Corn killed the Colonel?
55511Do you mean to say that the wicked Colonel walks?
55511Do you mind going by the bus?
55511Do you now what it is Petronella?
55511Do you object to my smoking? 55511 Do you remember Herrick, how astonished we were at the magnificence of that house?"
55511Do you think I ought to give him some money?
55511Do you think he had been to''The Pines?'' 55511 Do you think he ought to go to a public school?"
55511Do you think he put in the cipher?
55511Do you think it was my wish to do so?
55511Do you think you will be able?
55511Do you want to see him?
55511Do you want to sleep?
55511Doctor,said he,"will you come with me to Beorminster?
55511Does he know something, as well as Miss Bess?
55511Dr. Herrick? 55511 Find what out?"
55511For you, I suppose? 55511 From South America?"
55511From what quarter of the world?
55511Had you any premonition that he would be murdered?
55511Had you made up your mind then to kill Colonel Carr?
55511Had you not better tell me the whole affair? 55511 Has a Borgian banquet taken place here?
55511Has he any intention of getting married?
55511Have they yet found out who killed Colonel Carr?
55511Have you any doubt on the subject?
55511Have you any idea who murdered Carr?
55511Have you anything to say against his character?
55511Have you forgotten the terms of the will?
55511Have you had enough?
55511Have you looked for the man who did this?
55511Have you proof of this?
55511Have you seen them here?
55511Have you seen your uncle lately?
55511Have you set the detectives after him?
55511Have you the cuttings?
55511Have you two quarrelled?
55511He did tell me--"That he was innocent of course?
55511He did that, did he?
55511He gave no explanation?
55511He is so mean himself, that he can not believe any good of other people,said Bess scornfully,"what is to be done now about Frisco?"
55511He knows something about this murder?
55511He must stand his trial?
55511He was already dead,said Marsh- Carr sitting down quietly,"did you not hear the medical evidence at the inquest?
55511He was arrested at Hyde Park Corner?
55511He wrote to me from this place on that date, and as I have received no letter since, I have come to inquire if he is still to be found here?
55511How about your friend Santiago?
55511How are you Don Manuel?
55511How can you come here without asking Stephen''s permission?
55511How can you see that when the night is dark?
55511How comes it you tell me now, Sidney?
55511How dare you say such a thing as that even in jest?
55511How dare you?
55511How did it happen, Bridge?
55511How did you find it in there?
55511How did you hear all this, when you were a captive?
55511How did you know me?
55511How do know?
55511How do you feel to- day Sidney?
55511How do you know that I did not find her there?
55511How do you know that I put it into the drawer at''The Grange?''
55511How do you know that such a shot was the first?
55511How do you know that there are no such things as ghosts?
55511How do you know that?
55511How do you know that?
55511How do you know that?
55511How do you know?
55511How do you mean queer?
55511How do you mean you''ll go west?
55511How is it Dr. Herrick that you recollect this only now?
55511How is my mother, Petronella?
55511How long will you be?
55511How many more miles do you want us to be Miss Bess?
55511How pale you are Jim,said Joyce abruptly,"what is the matter?"
55511How the deuce does he keep all this clean?
55511How was it then that Don Manuel obtained from you the pistol with which the crime was committed?
55511How was it then that Mrs. Marsh called to see him on the afternoon of the murder?
55511How was it you met him?
55511How was that?
55511How? 55511 I am a healthy man if that is what you mean,"retorted Jim,"but about this boy?
55511I am, addressing the vicar?
55511I asked him what he meant? 55511 I beg your pardon,"he said to the company;"but this woman-- Petronella----""What is the matter?"
55511I believe he is the guilty person,said Dr. Jim positively,"are you going to defend him, Bess?"
55511I certainly think you are entitled to that much,said Stephen,"what do you say, Herrick?"
55511I daresay it may help us,Herrick said doubtfully,"if the Colonel had a secret?"
55511I daresay when he meets you he will ask you to stay at''The Pines,''said Herrick,"but you will come down Robin?
55511I did not know you had a cousin?
55511I did not know you had ever handled a pistol either?
55511I do not believe that,said Herrick,"why should Petronella kill Carr?"
55511I do not see why you should ask me?
55511I do not understand what you mean?
55511I hope my unexpected coming will not upset your arrangements Joyce?
55511I say Stephen,he said while thus employed,"did your uncle take in the''Daily Telegraph?''"
55511I suppose,said the doctor after a pause,"that Frith did not take it upon himself to promise Joyce the continuance of this annuity?"
55511I thought it was Ida?
55511I thought you did not suspect me?
55511I want to ask you who you saw in the Pine wood on the night when Colonel Carr was killed?
55511I want to know who killed Colonel Carr?
55511I wonder if Frisco did, and then went away to escape the consequences?
55511I wonder if he killed him?
55511I wonder if he knows anything?
55511I wonder what he meant by that?
55511If Frisco had been arrested at once would you have spoken out?
55511If it was of lead how could it be silver?
55511If not either of those two, who is it?
55511If you----"Do n''t you think we had better keep to English?
55511In God''s name?
55511In love with someone else? 55511 In that case you are cousin to Stephen Marsh?"
55511In what way?
55511Indeed? 55511 Is he mad?"
55511Is it a lie, or a truth? 55511 Is my mother so ill?"
55511Is n''t it a shame?
55511Is n''t it curious?
55511Is that what Marsh gives you?
55511Is the dead man''s name Colonel Carr?
55511Is there any need you should?
55511Is there anything I can help you with?
55511Is there anything wrong?
55511Is there to be an inquest?
55511Is this a proper will, Steve?
55511Is this story known Parry?
55511It does,admitted Bess reflectively,"but why should Frisco do all these dreadful things to get the fortune?
55511It is not these things you wish to know Bess?
55511It is not true?
55511It never struck you that it was murder?
55511Joyce''s father? 55511 Lady and gentlemen,"said Dr. Jim,"do you know who this is?"
55511Like Colonel Carr? 55511 Like what?"
55511Living on you my dear fellow? 55511 Miss Bess used to visit Carr you say?"
55511Miss Endicotte? 55511 Mr. Joyce goes to your club also?"
55511Mr. Joyce was with you last night?
55511Mrs. Marsh then is the Colonel''s sister?
55511Murder or suicide?
55511My dear girl what is the matter?
55511My signora? 55511 My son and heir,"replied Stephen, bending over the infant,"what else, or who else should he be?"
55511Nice party,said Dr. Jim sarcastically,"and you made up this conspiracy between the lot of you?"
55511No, it is not a revolver what can it be-- so large-- so clumsy, Señor?
55511No,replied the boy indifferently,"why should I be mistaken?
55511Not Frisco?
55511Not chloral, I hope?
55511Not enough to jail him I suppose, sir?
55511Not on or about the twenty- third of July?
55511Nothing Jim,she said stiffly,"why do you ask?"
55511Now Steve, do n''t you feel better?
55511Now what do you think?
55511Of West Kensington?
55511Of course I am glad,she cried gaily,"are we not pledged to find out who killed the Colonel?"
55511Of course not-- how can you think so?
55511Of course you know I had nothing to do with the crime itself?
55511Of silver? 55511 Of what?"
55511Of you too,said Joyce,"how did you learn the cipher?"
55511Oh, Herrick what does it mean?
55511Oh, he is in Pimlico is he?
55511Oh, that was it, was it?
55511Oh, you did? 55511 Oh, you may look astonished, but if you remember the will?--well?"
55511One minute,interrupted Herrick remembering what Frith had said"was this Frisco a gentleman?"
55511One moment, Señor,said Santiago quietly,"how do we stand?"
55511Please sir, that Italian woman----"What''s the matter with her?
55511Santiago said that about me?
55511See what?
55511Shall I see him, Jim?
55511Shall we need go up to Town now?
55511She did not kill him in the afternoon?
55511Should I not get up to look after this business with you?
55511Sidney dear,said she,"do you know that Mr. Joyce has gone away to London?"
55511Sidney,he said after a pause,"do you know that Frisco, who used to be with Colonel Carr, has been arrested?"
55511So that is it, is it?
55511So the Don has sailed? 55511 So you were at the rectory on that night?
55511Tell me about what?
55511That is complimentary to us all Bess,said her husband who had entered the room,"but what if he is?"
55511That was some time after hearing the shots?
55511The Biff''s,he repeated laughing outright,"and how is that derived from the high sounding name of Endicotte?"
55511The Colonel brought him from South America?
55511The dead man was called Colonel Carr?
55511The death-- the examination?
55511The ring?
55511The second time was on the twenty- fourth of July?
55511The story you told me?
55511The whereabouts of Frisco?
55511Them? 55511 Then how did you guess?"
55511Then the thought came to you that Petronella would die?
55511Then there_ is_ a secret?
55511Then what can it be?
55511Then who did?
55511Then who did?
55511Then why did he run away?
55511Then why had he so many bedrooms?
55511Then you did shoot the Colonel, Petronella?
55511Then you will do so?
55511Then you wo n''t come to dinner?
55511There_ is_ something however,said Dr. Jim sternly,"you and Stephen have some secret between you which is making you both ill. What is it?"
55511They were all bluff?
55511This story of Frisco''s?
55511To Beorminster?
55511To murder him?
55511To see the fairies? 55511 To warn Stephen?"
55511Until he is married?
55511Was Carr a friend of yours?
55511Was Frisco with the Colonel there?
55511Was I not right?
55511Was it not the weapon that was used?
55511Was it?
55511Was there a fire in the grate on the day Mrs. Marsh died?
55511Well Joyce and how are you?
55511Well Thomas the Rhymer,said Bess gaily, when her shadow fell on the fairy- ring,"are you looking for the Queen of Elf- land?"
55511Well, I hope?
55511Well, about this letter?
55511Well, unless what?
55511Well,said Bess when the first greeting was over and they were all seated comfortably round the fire,"what do you think of the house?"
55511Well,said Frank,"that is two of them gone, and who is to look after Biffstead?"
55511Well,said Robin"what are you going to do now?"
55511Were the Colonel and Frisco good friends?
55511Were you not on the lawn in front of the house?
55511What about Bess?
55511What about Frisco?
55511What about Frisco?
55511What about Frisco?
55511What about Joyce?
55511What about his appearance?
55511What about his threat against me?
55511What about our walking tour?
55511What about that horrid Joyce?
55511What about that pistol?
55511What about the reward sir?
55511What about the will?
55511What about your practice?
55511What am I to understood from all this Señor?
55511What are you doing in my rooms Señor?
55511What are you talking about, Bess dear?
55511What are you talking about?
55511What can be your reason for saying so?
55511What can there be in common between the rector and you?
55511What danger was that?
55511What did Mrs. Marsh say?
55511What did she come about?
55511What did you do then?
55511What do you live on then?
55511What do you mean Jim? 55511 What do you mean Petronella?"
55511What do you mean by''had a treasure likewise?''
55511What do you mean?
55511What do you mean?
55511What do you mean?
55511What do you mean?
55511What do you mean?
55511What do you think of it all?
55511What do you think of it?
55511What do you think of it?
55511What do you think of that Herrick?
55511What do you want me to say?
55511What do you want?
55511What does it matter?
55511What does it mean?
55511What good wind brings you here Miss?
55511What has Manuel to do with this?
55511What has she got to do with it?
55511What have you and Stephen been doing with yourselves?
55511What is her reason?
55511What is his name sir?
55511What is it Sidney?
55511What is it you wish to know Miss Endicotte?
55511What is it?
55511What is the matter?
55511What is the use of sparing him? 55511 What is this I hear about the arrest of the man Frisco?"
55511What is?
55511What made you decide to frighten him?
55511What makes you think so?
55511What might be the sailor''s name?
55511What relation was he to Carr?
55511What right have you to ask her to be your wife?
55511What shall I do without you?
55511What sort of an expedition?
55511What the devil does this mean?
55511What time was that Petronella?
55511What use would it have been?
55511What was that?
55511What was your opinion of Colonel Carr?
55511What were those services?
55511What will they do with him?
55511What will you do Jim?
55511What''s that?
55511What,cried Stephen loudly,"Carr has left his money to Bess?"
55511What?
55511When Mr. Joyce came back here this afternoon did he see Don Manuel?
55511When are you two going away?
55511When did Master Sidney say that Parry?
55511When did he change like this?
55511When did she write this Petronella? 55511 When you are asleep?
55511Where did that come from?
55511Where did you get it?
55511Where did you learn all this lore?
55511Where have you seen a ghost?
55511Where is Master Sidney now Parry?
55511Where is the Changeling?
55511Where is your women''s wit Ida? 55511 Where was Mr. Marsh all this time?"
55511Where-- where am I?
55511Who are the rest?
55511Who are your uncle''s lawyers-- or rather I should say yours?
55511Who could have done it?
55511Who is the doctor Stephen?
55511Who taught you the cipher? 55511 Who was it told you where Colonel Carr lived?"
55511Who was it?
55511Why ca n''t you make it now?
55511Why ca n''t you stay here?
55511Why did I not kill him then you will ask? 55511 Why did he commit suicide?"
55511Why did you do such a horrible thing?
55511Why did you not follow?
55511Why did you say nothing of all this before?
55511Why did you use a silver bullet Petronella?
55511Why did you want to do that?
55511Why do you look at me like that Bess?
55511Why do you not marry Miss Bess?
55511Why do you say he was murdered?
55511Why do you tell now then?
55511Why do you wish that?
55511Why for Bridge?
55511Why horrible?
55511Why in Spanish particularly?
55511Why is Mrs. Marsh not here to give evidence?
55511Why not now?
55511Why not? 55511 Why not?"
55511Why should I be? 55511 Why should I have killed him?"
55511Why should I not say that Mrs. Marsh was dead?
55511Why should a comparison to a useful animal be taken as an insult? 55511 Why should he be afraid?"
55511Why was it not continued to our friend here?
55511Why, what possible message can your poor mother have left for me?
55511Why? 55511 Why?
55511Why?
55511Why?
55511Will that please your lordship?
55511Will they be at the inquest?
55511Will they be coming here again sir?
55511Will you come into another room?
55511Will you leave it with me Miss?
55511Will you please to tell me what this is?
55511Will you tell them what has happened?
55511Will you want me to go with you to- morrow?
55511With Pentland Corn,said Herrick,"then you knew him before?"
55511Would you mind telling me what the Mexican has done sir?
55511Yes?
55511Yet why should he make such a friend of Santiago?
55511You are fond of wandering about at night?
55511You are glad to go back to Saxham Stephen?
55511You are going to Town?
55511You are in pain I fear?
55511You are not angry at my calling you Ida?
55511You are not in love then?
55511You are quite sure that no one will attend her?
55511You are stupid Frank,cried Ida,"ca n''t you see?"
55511You are sure it was Frisco you saw at Southberry?
55511You called to see the Colonel again then?
55511You came down to Saxham to break into the vault?
55511You did not feel that murder was been committed?
55511You have no desire to go into parliament?
55511You have no idea who killed the man?
55511You have to see about your practice I suppose Herrick?
55511You heard the shots?
55511You here Sidney?
55511You knew Colonel Carr well?
55511You knew?
55511You know the habit that Sidney has of going to the Pine Wood?
55511You know what?
55511You laugh at it I suppose?
55511You lost the pistol?
55511You mean he still held the pistol?
55511You stole the cup?
55511You swear to me that this is true what you say? 55511 You told him what?"
55511You were a great friend of Carr''s?
55511You will be back then?
55511You will be glad to get back to Italy Petronella?
55511You will not tell Bess or Ida?
55511You wo n''t let me get into trouble?
55511Your father?
55511A cigarette?
55511About what hour was this?"
55511After you came to seek your mother at the rectory, and did not find her, what did you do?"
55511And Bess, we understand one another?"
55511And about what, my dear?"
55511And admitting that it is so, how did the pistol come into possession of Joyce, if Frisco used it?"
55511And he described it?"
55511And if he did not, why did he run away?
55511And she?"
55511And what about Mrs. Marsh?
55511And what are you going to do next?"
55511And you sir?"
55511And you will always stay here Jim?"
55511And you will tell Stephen to come over?"
55511And you?"
55511Are you off Herrick?"
55511Are you stopping here for long?"
55511Besides who knows what may happen to me?"
55511Both of them made me feel quite ill. Did you never see how I refused to sit beside them?
55511But I ask you Herrick, what else could I have done?
55511But I could not ask her to be my wife when I was a pauper could I Bess?
55511But I suppose you have given your word not to tell?"
55511But I want to ask you as man to man:--Did you shoot Carr?"
55511But for what period?
55511But if you feel that I am so indispensable to you, why not stay here?
55511But it is not to make arrangements to leave me is it?"
55511But tell me Sidney, did you see Mr. Joyce in the wood or on the moor?"
55511But tell me how you know-- through your instinct?"
55511But the play is very high?"
55511But this cipher?
55511But what else had she told him?
55511But why did Mrs. Marsh delay such important information all this time?"
55511But why use silver in preference to lead, or pewter?
55511But you have to tell me the whole truth, or---""Well,"said Joyce defiantly,"and if I refuse?
55511But you know,"here Bess looked down,"can you not understand Dr. Jim?
55511But you thought so did you?
55511But you will not turn your back on me for this Bess?"
55511By the way I suppose all the business of Marsh is in your hands?"
55511By the way Jim, what did you do, when I left you?"
55511By the way who told you about the Biffs?"
55511By the way your friend Santiago?"
55511By the way, what about your Southberry Helen?"
55511By the way, when will Ida be back?"
55511Ca n''t you find him?"
55511Can you drive the cart back?"
55511Can you manage it?"
55511Can you swear to me that Colonel Carr was already dead when you fired those shots?
55511Cheapside?"
55511Colonel Carr was rich was he not?"
55511Come now?"
55511Come what is it?"
55511Come, if I answer your questions freely and frankly will you promise not to inform the police of what I tell you?"
55511Corn?"
55511Corn?"
55511Did I not say so?"
55511Did I not tell the Signora that evil would come to the young Signor from this death?"
55511Did I?"
55511Did Joyce call to see Frith do you know?"
55511Did Señor Santiago know Colonel Carr?"
55511Did Stephen suspect her?"
55511Did he inherit his money?"
55511Did not Joyce call to see Frith somewhere about the twenty- fourth of July?"
55511Did she see you?"
55511Did you hear if any stranger was seen in the neighbourhood on the night of the murder?"
55511Did you know he was a soldier before he became a parson?"
55511Did you see Frisco at the door of the house?"
55511Did your mother speak of this to you?"
55511Do n''t I tell you the sound of the shot will bring up the men I have had posted?"
55511Do they live near here?"
55511Do you despise me Herrick?"
55511Do you know a party as stayed here called Robin Joyce?
55511Do you know how old Colonel Carr was, doctor?"
55511Do you know them?"
55511Do you know,"she added with another laugh,"you remind me of the cook, who was of that''appy disposition that she could marry anyone?
55511Do you not trust me Bess?"
55511Do you remember?"
55511Do you then think that the guilty person is a man?"
55511Do you think the key might be found amongst your uncle''s papers?"
55511Drive?
55511Eh, Petronella?"
55511Eh, pour l''amor di Dio, un bicchiére de Chianti?"
55511Eh?
55511Eh?"
55511Else why should it be in secret writing?"
55511Feel better?"
55511Frith?"
55511Got much luggage?"
55511Has Sidney said anything?"
55511Has he written to fix the date of his return?"
55511Have some whisky?"
55511Have we met before?
55511Have you any idea who put this in?"
55511Have you read Zanoni, Señor?"
55511He had a treasure likewise, had he not?"
55511He is a professional, and if he fails, how can we hope to succeed?"
55511He is decent, is n''t he?"
55511He remembered that this was the man who looked after the Beorminster Chronicle and took an interest in Stephen''s poetry,"he dined with him?"
55511He was a friend of Colonel Carr''s?"
55511Herrick shrugged his shoulders,"and were on simple enough to think that Frisco would tell you?"
55511Herrick?"
55511Herrick?"
55511Herrick?"
55511How are you Dr. Herrick?
55511How can I be sure that you were not at''The Pines?''"
55511How can you think so?"
55511How did he say he saw you on that night?"
55511How did his name crop up?"
55511How is it the Colonel was so anxious about the preservation of his body?"
55511How long do you want to stay in Town?"
55511How were they carried out?"
55511However I wo n''t call you anything but Juno-- will that do?"
55511However this is not to the point,"she went on impatiently,"I want to know if you will stay with Stephen for a thousand a year?"
55511I came down the----""How was it you did not meet Frisco, who had gone up to see the Colonel?"
55511I can not bear to-- but that is neither here nor there,"broke off Corn hurriedly,"tell me, was the house alight?"
55511I could not speak plainer could I?"
55511I did not do it,"replied Sidney calmly,"why should I be accused?"
55511I did not know you were about?"
55511I do not believe much in that emotional religion,"said Jim with a shake of his head,"a call had he, and left the army for that?
55511I have been round Europe with a man I was trying to reclaim from strong drink----""Did you succeed?"
55511I hope I have not offended you by going to town Steve?"
55511I know,"she muttered between her teeth,"who should know but I who have suffered?
55511I say Frank how are the Biffs?"
55511I suppose Santiago saw him also?"
55511I told you I met him at the Apollo Club-- that is respectable enough I hope?
55511I was not aware that you knew Miss Endicotte?"
55511I was to prove your alibi, Eh?
55511I wonder if he wrote that letter?"
55511I wonder if you will?
55511I wonder why my uncle left instructions that a new vault should be built, and should be visited; and why for a year?"
55511If he had not called on them, why was the letter sent, and where was he during the two days he was in Town?
55511If he is not, had you not better look for him?"
55511If not, why did he fly?
55511If she did not confess, Frisco would be hanged--""You never thought you might be accused?"
55511If she was innocent why should she have been about the house so late?"
55511If there is danger,"he added in a joking manner, to make Sidney ashamed of himself,"why do n''t you go to sleep and see what it is?
55511If you remain in Saxham, if we become better acquainted, I might-- how long do you stay?"
55511In the first place where did you meet Colonel Carr?"
55511Inspector?
55511Inspector?
55511Inspector?
55511Inspector?"
55511Inspector?"
55511Inspector?"
55511Is Frisco a relative of yours that you should be so careful of his skin?"
55511Is it Bess you are talking of?"
55511Is it not so?"
55511Is it suicide, or murder?
55511Is n''t it lead?"
55511Is that so?"
55511Is there a name on the butt?"
55511Is there anything else you want to know?"
55511Is your practice a large one?"
55511It is about this pistol?"
55511Jim what are you doing?"
55511Jim, am I not right?"
55511Jim?"
55511Joyce- Frisco?"
55511Joyce?"
55511Joyce?"
55511Joyce?"
55511Later on when the will-- the will--""Did you know about the will?"
55511Marsh?"
55511Marsh?"
55511Marsh?"
55511Marsh?"
55511Marsh?"
55511Meantime Mr. Corn, will you tell me if Don Manuel was at your house last night?"
55511My name as one witness and Santiago as another, and where would you be?"
55511No lie this time, please?"
55511Not-- not Stephen?"
55511Now then, why did Santiago try to get Marsh killed?"
55511Now we are getting at the truth,"said Herrick,"and where did you meet Santiago may I ask?
55511Now where is it?"
55511Now,"added Bridge meditatively,"could it have been Frisco?"
55511Or had Robin Joyce anything to do with the matter?
55511Perhaps you do though?"
55511Petronella would say to Herrick after some tussel,"was there ever such a diavola as the Padrona?"
55511Santiago shrugged his shoulders,"Why should it be wrong?
55511Shall I ask him?"
55511Shall I ring for tea?"
55511Shall I tell him you called sir?"
55511She has told you?"
55511So it was the greaser was it?
55511So she wished you to remain with me?
55511Somehow, your face seems familiar?"
55511Tell me all that you saw?"
55511That boy however?
55511The man is in communication with him I suppose?"
55511The pistol you gave to Joyce?"
55511The twenty- fourth was it not?
55511Then America was the place of his exile?"
55511Then it ceased at her death?"
55511Then you champion Frisco no longer?"
55511Then you did not shoot him yourself?"
55511This is all very well, how do I know you did not kill the man?"
55511Vivid dreams?"
55511Was Captain Manuel striking in the dark?
55511Was he ever in it Stephen?"
55511Was he on the point of learning sufficient of the man''s wild life in the Americas, to reveal what his secret was?
55511Was it possible that this charming girl knew the truth?
55511Was not my mother his niece?
55511Was the pistol hers and the silver bullet?"
55511Was there ever anything so wonderful?
55511Well, and what does he expect to gain by the money going to Frisco?
55511Well, so you put in that cipher-- the first-- by the direction of the Mexican?
55511Well?"
55511Well?"
55511Well?"
55511Were you afraid of being inculpated?"
55511Were you not jealous?"
55511What about Marsh?"
55511What about him?"
55511What about his business?"
55511What are you going to do Herrick?"
55511What are you hinting at?"
55511What are you smiling at?"
55511What could I do Herrick?"
55511What could I do but open the window to let the soul go free?
55511What did Carr do?
55511What did it all mean?
55511What do you mean Herrick?"
55511What do you mean?
55511What do you mean?"
55511What do you think Herrick?"
55511What do you think Joyce?"
55511What do you think of it now Herrick?"
55511What do you think?"
55511What had Mrs. Marsh done that the medical fraternity at Beorminster should boycott her in this way?
55511What has he to do with it?"
55511What have you been doing?"
55511What if she had committed suicide?
55511What is his real name?"
55511What is it Bess?"
55511What is the good of my explaining anything to you?
55511What is the pistol Señor?"
55511What is your father''s real name?"
55511What of that?"
55511What of that?"
55511What of your plans?
55511What was Frisco''s real name?"
55511What was to be done?
55511What will Ida say if I attend to you so badly?"
55511What would a sour old woman do with two such lovers?
55511What''s that?"
55511When are you going?"
55511When did he go?"
55511Where did you get this will?"
55511Where did you meet him?"
55511Where did you see her?"
55511Where does he gamble principally?"
55511Where is he?"
55511Where is it?
55511Which?"
55511Who are they?"
55511Who is he or her?"
55511Who is he?"
55511Who murdered the Colonel?"
55511Who says this Parry?"
55511Who?--What are you talking about?"
55511Why did Frisco run away?"
55511Why did he leave the army?"
55511Why did n''t you save time by telling me before?"
55511Why did you not tell me of this before?"
55511Why did you tell Mr. Joyce that I had managed all this business?"
55511Why do you ask?"
55511Why do you come here to exult over me?"
55511Why do you smile Miss Endicotte?"
55511Why does he keep hidden?
55511Why had Robin told a lie?
55511Why he should have talked openly to you I ca n''t say?"
55511Why should Frisco have used that?"
55511Why should I have felt?
55511Why should I have spoken to him?"
55511Why should I?"
55511Why should n''t they?"
55511Why should she not die as she pleased?
55511Why should the assassin use two pistols, when one would have sufficed?
55511Why was she afraid?"
55511Why-- what-- Stephen?"
55511Why?"
55511Will you be at''The Pines''also?"
55511Will you come also, Señor?
55511Will you drive, or you Herrick?"
55511Will you stay?"
55511Will you stop the night?
55511Wo n''t you have tea?"
55511Would you believe it,"she added lightly,"I went straight to''The Pines''and asked to see Colonel Carr?
55511Yes?"
55511Yet if Frisco was not the culprit, who was?
55511You are at the Guelph Hotel ai n''t you?
55511You are going to see Bridge about that bullet?"
55511You are sure you do not mind giving it up?"
55511You can manage Bridge?"
55511You can send Santiago to Mexico I suppose?"
55511You chose this country for our walking tour on purpose?"
55511You did not sleep at the Hull hotel?"
55511You do not understand?
55511You expect Santiago back soon?"
55511You have come here to ask me a question?"
55511You have failed, you say?
55511You have not seen----?"
55511You know the family do you not Marsh?"
55511You know what you have to do?"
55511You want to return?"
55511You went to see Frith and Frith; you slept at the Hull Hotel, did you?
55511You will be at the Inquest?"
55511You will be there Dr. Herrick, and your friend?"
55511You will let me have this?"
55511You will not find them hard I assure you always provided--""Provided what?"
55511You wish me to be his bear- leader?
55511asked Bess who had followed Herrick down the avenue,"has he really been arrested?"
55511cried Flo the schoolgirl,"there are kettles and tea- pots and all the rest of the things we want at''The Pines''I suppose?"
55511cried Herrick turning on the little wretch,"and how do you know that Mr. Joyce?
55511cried Joyce not daring to enter,"what is it?"
55511declared the sceptic in the arm- chair,"what should take Stephen to the churchyard at this time of the night?
55511he gasped,"is this another part of your conspiracy?"
55511how can you think I would do such a thing?
55511it is the pistol of the Carr case?"
55511muttered Herrick, recalling what Bess had said about Frisco''s tales of North and South America,"not in Peru?"
55511remarked Herrick grimly,"then you were anxious to push on across the moor that we might find the body together?"
55511said Bridge with his most important air and looking down the muzzle,"so you found this pistol in the grass-- and near the house?
55511said Dr. Jim,"I wonder if Frisco obeyed this first request?"
55511said Herrick taking off his coat,"why did you not go to bed man?
55511said Herrick with a growl,"and you''ve been fretting over this?
55511said Herrick, when he had placed the girl in her chair,"what does this mean?"
55511said Jim grimly eying the miserable wretch,"and what have you to say for yourself?"
55511said Jim taking no notice of the joke,"so Joyce is at Santiago''s lodgings is he?"
55511said Jim using his favourite ejaculation,"do you believe that Frisco did kill him?"
55511said Jim when this came into his mind,"can it be possible that Joyce killed the man?
55511said Jim with sudden interest,"so Bess was with him, was she?
55511said he trying to joke her out of so morbid a mood,"have you enemies, like Carr?"
55511said the ferret with sudden interest,"is it as bad as that?"
55511what does it matter if I die?
55511what does it matter?"
55511you saw him then?"
55783A very ingenious idea; you have no doubt warned Miss Colmer not to answer my questions?
55783A very plausible theory,said Fank, shaking his head,"but the motive?"
55783About Emma Calvert?
55783About the tattooed cross? 55783 About what?"
55783About your visit to Half- Moon Street?
55783Ah, you have a secret, then?
55783Ah; then it is a case of murder?
55783All this is beside the point,said Garth, impatiently,"what do you say?"
55783Am I right in assuming that Emma is the sister of Anne?
55783Am I to understand that I am free to go?
55783And Binjoy, that pompous doctor, did you like him?
55783And Madaline Garry nursed the heir-- that is, the late Sir Gregory?
55783And did Hersham wish you to deny also that you had been in Tooley''s Alley on the night of the murder?
55783And did he say that he had sent his negro, Caesar, to Bombay, in his place?
55783And did you?
55783And her sister and Captain Garry?
55783And how were you dressed?
55783And if he does get off at Plymouth?
55783And if he goes on board the steamer?
55783And most unexpected?
55783And now, before you go, just tell me if you received a letter from Mrs. Boazoph, and if you have brought it with you?
55783And something worse than a scamp,said Fanks;"but about this introduction?
55783And that fact?
55783And the brother was the father of the present Sir Louis?
55783And the glasses were on the table?
55783And the heir?
55783And the negro assassin; what of him?
55783And then, sir?
55783And then?
55783And what about Emma Calvert?
55783And what about her own child?
55783And what do you think?
55783And what is Mrs. Bryant, alias Boazoph?
55783And where is she now?
55783And who is watching you? 55783 And why did he not tell about this meeting?"
55783And why was the body removed out of that room?
55783And with Emma Calvert?
55783And you are good friends with Hersham-- I beg his pardon-- Sir Gregory Fellenger, of Mere Hall, in the county of Hants?
55783And you obeyed?
55783Are you afraid of the coming interview with this man?
55783Are you afraid?
55783Are you alluding to Hersham?
55783Are you anxious to make reparation for your crimes?
55783Are you going there?
55783Are you satisfied that my explanation is a correct one?
55783Are you willing that the son whom you disinherited should die at the hands of justice?
55783Arrest this man?
55783At what time was he taken ill?
55783At what time, did Sir Gregory leave the house?
55783Because Fellenger was your friend?
55783But I shall ask you why you ran away from me on that day?
55783But Robert?
55783But about the result of your trip to Taxton- on- Thames?
55783But for what reason?
55783But how can you establish the truth of your statement?
55783But how did you know it was the negro Caesar?
55783But how do you know that?
55783But if you do not practise in London, how comes it that Mrs. Boazoph sent for you?
55783But was it necessary that you should have gone up?
55783But what can the death of Sir Gregory have to do with an old story of man''s treachery and woman''s folly?
55783But what excuse did you make?
55783But who is she?
55783But why should Gregory go to Tooley''s Alley to be tattooed?
55783But why?
55783But you do n''t suspect me now?
55783But your mother?
55783By the way, can I take any message from you to Hersham and Miss Colmer? 55783 By the way, my friend,"he added, turning sharply on Garth,"you do n''t know anything about this very apropos telegram?"
55783Ca n''t you guess? 55783 Can I come with you?"
55783Can you conjecture what took her to town?
55783Can you describe the hansom? 55783 Can you understand it?"
55783Can you understand what he meant?
55783Can you wonder at it?
55783Can you wonder at that, mother?
55783Chance again?
55783Did Dr. Binjoy discharge his servant, or did Sir Louis?
55783Did I know Sir Gregory''s father,echoed Mrs. Prisom, contemptuously,"do I know the nose on my face, sir?
55783Did Mrs. Boazoph know of your address in the Isle of Wight?
55783Did anyone suggest your disguising yourself as a negro for this street music business, or was it your own fancy?
55783Did he behave as usual towards you?
55783Did he do that?
55783Did he go about tattooing all the girls he was in love with?
55783Did her mother?
55783Did n''t you nearly run over a man as you neared the village?
55783Did n''t you wash your face?
55783Did she ever forgive him?
55783Did she know that you had a cross on your arm also?
55783Did she meet her death; by foul play?
55783Did the negro servant go with them?
55783Did you ever see that disguise in his possession?
55783Did you find out the truth, sir?
55783Did you get my telegram?
55783Did you get that tattooed at school?
55783Did you hear what address she gave the cabman?
55783Did you know Sir Gregory''s father?
55783Did you know of this?
55783Did you notice,said he,"if that young lady had a friend with her?"
55783Did you recognise as Caesar the black man who came here on that night?
55783Did you see it in your sister''s possession before she went away with Sir Gregory?
55783Did you tell him anything?
55783Did your master-- your late master-- know of it?
55783Do I? 55783 Do you believe that Mrs. Boazoph inveigled Fellenger to her hotel by means of that advertisement, and then had him killed?"
55783Do you believe that it is Emma Calvert?
55783Do you happen to know if Dr. Binjoy has been in London lately?
55783Do you know Sir Louis intimately?
55783Do you know Taxton- on- Thames?
55783Do you know anyone else who has a cross tattooed on his left arm?
55783Do you know anything of this, Robert?
55783Do you know the man?
55783Do you know the number of the cab?
55783Do you not think that his taste was good?
55783Do you remember the twenty- first of June?
55783Do you remember what Mrs. Prisom said about the desk in the study of your late uncle?
55783Do you see this cross on my skin, you bloodhound of the law? 55783 Do you still connect him with the crime?"
55783Do you suspect anyone?
55783Do you think I have anything to do with the matter of Sir Gregory''s death?
55783Do you think Mrs. Boazoph has anything to do with it?
55783Do you think she knows that?
55783Do you think that Anne Colmer wrote it?
55783Do you think that Mrs. Boazoph knows the motive of the crime?
55783Do you think that he designed the murder of Fellenger so as to get the estates for Sir Louis?
55783Do you think that he has anything to do with it?
55783Do you think that it is the mark of a revolutionary society?
55783Do you think that she knows who committed the crime?
55783Do you think that the negro sent that star?
55783Do you think that you will be successful?
55783Do you think they are all in it?
55783Do you think your sister wrote on the back of the portrait before she committed suicide?
55783Do you threaten me?
55783Do you? 55783 Does Dr. Binjoy come over with him?"
55783Does she know anything about these other matters?
55783Does she?
55783Does that mean that you wo n''t tell me?
55783Does your explanation concern the late Sir Gregory Fellenger?
55783Dr. Binjoy going away,murmured Fanks, rather startled,"now what is that for?"
55783Emma Calvert, my friend?
55783Emma Calvert?
55783Exactly, sir; what do you think of my theory?
55783Fanks, do you think he designedly induced me to act as a duplicate of Caesar?
55783For what reason?
55783From what quarter?
55783From what? 55783 From whom did you expect the telegram?"
55783Garth?
55783Had Sir Gregory anything to do at that time with any particular woman?
55783Had you your machine in town?
55783Hard?
55783Has he said much to you?
55783Has my going there anything to do with this case?
55783Has the gentleman in question a long, brown beard?
55783Has your reason for writing anything to do with the left arm of our friend?
55783Have you any reason for going?
55783Have you ever met with Miss Colmer?
55783Have you found out who killed Fellenger?
55783Have you found out who wrote on the back of the photograph; who directed that envelope?
55783Have you not more sense than to play the fool? 55783 Have you quarrelled with Garth?"
55783He was a king of Pontus, was n''t he; who lived on poisons?
55783Help you?
55783Her past is known to the police, is it not?
55783How can I tell?
55783How can she betray herself when there is no address?
55783How can you discover that?
55783How can you prove that?
55783How dare you introduce the name of Miss Colmer?
55783How did she die?
55783How did she get it?
55783How did you get that out of her?
55783How did you hear of that?
55783How do you know that I can explain it?
55783How do you know that he will go there?
55783How do you know that it was an appointment?
55783How long ago is it since she disappeared?
55783How long had your master been in town before the murder?
55783How much does he know?
55783How was he dressed?
55783How was it that Mr. Fanks found me out?
55783How was it that the negro nearly ran over you on his bicycle?
55783How was that?
55783However, if it was not a question of money, what about the inevitable woman?
55783I have told you all,he said;"now what is your opinion?"
55783I presume you wish to learn something from her, relative to the case you have in hand?
55783I quite believe that you did all these things; and for why? 55783 I say, Garth,"said Fanks,"how much longer will your correspondence take?"
55783I say, Mr. Fanks,he said,"what makes you say that this tattooed cross clears up the mystery of Tooley''s Alley?"
55783I see that you recognise that face,said Anne, coolly;"no doubt you wonder how that photograph came to be in this house?"
55783I suppose you know Sir Louis Fellenger?
55783I suppose you mean to hint that she would like to clear Sir Louis out of my path by accusing him of the murder?
55783I want to know a great many things,said Fanks, emulating her coolness;"but the question is whether you will consent to answer all my questions?"
55783I wonder if your father could tell me?
55783I wonder where it can be?
55783I wonder why he is so anxious over this case?
55783I, my dear friend,he said,"what can I know about the case?"
55783I, sir? 55783 If he does n''t?"
55783If he is innocent, who then is guilty?
55783If that is so, who was the woman who appeared so strangely? 55783 If, as you say, the dead man is unknown,"said Fanks quickly,"how can you tell that he was a traitor?"
55783In a house or on the street?
55783In the meantime, perhaps you will tell me what you did with the young lady you picked up here?
55783In what way?
55783Indeed,said Fanks, eyeing Garth in a strange manner;"and has she done anything likely to forward your interest in that respect?"
55783Is Dr. Binjoy with Sir Louis at Mere Hall at this present moment?
55783Is anything wrong?
55783Is he here?
55783Is it a man or woman?
55783Is it necessary that I should go to the inquest?
55783Is it necessary when, by your own showing, you are all- supreme already?
55783Is it not you who suspect me of killing this man?
55783Is she a native of this village?
55783Is the case in your hands, Fanks?
55783Is the truth to be discovered in Half- Moon Street?
55783Is there any outlet from the yard?
55783Is there anything wrong, my dear?
55783Is this the picture of Anne Colmer?
55783It is the best that I can give, sir; if she is n''t Emma Calvert; who is she?
55783It seems strange, does n''t it, sir?
55783Let me ask you, Dr. Binjoy, what you were doing at Dr. Turnor''s in Great Auk Street on the night of the twenty- first?
55783Like Hersham?
55783Madaline Garry; was she also tattooed with a cross?
55783Madaline Garry? 55783 Man or woman or child?"
55783Mere Hall?
55783Miss Colmer,he said in a low tone,"tell me who killed Sir Gregory?"
55783Miss Eleanor? 55783 Motive?
55783Mrs. Boazoph knows something,said Fanks, to himself,"and Dr. Binjoy knows more; but if both are ill and incapable of confession, what am I to do?"
55783No; how could I? 55783 Nor the white man?"
55783Now no more talk; what is your name?
55783Of Taxton- on- Thames?
55783Officer,he said, walking quickly up to the constable,"did you see a lady come out of yonder door?"
55783Oh, Anne Colmer knew about this needle?
55783Oh, was it? 55783 On what day did the clothes arrive?"
55783On what ground?
55783Ought I to say Lady Fellenger?
55783Perhaps she will come back?
55783Perhaps, Robert, you can tell me where Emma Calvert came from?
55783Queer, is n''t it?
55783Rather a noticeable dress,said Fanks, carelessly;"had you ever seen the negro before?"
55783Robert, the whimpering, pitiful dog?
55783Robert,he said, with great deliberation,"how long have you been in the service of my cousin?"
55783Shall I question him?
55783Shall I take you upstairs to see the body, sir? 55783 Sir Francis was a sailor?"
55783Sir Gregory? 55783 So you wore the very coat of the man whom we suspected in the first instance?"
55783Staying there?
55783Suicide?
55783Surely you do not suspect Hersham?
55783Suspect you of what?
55783Ted,she asked in a low voice,"is there any danger?"
55783That is my opinion also; but the girl, Garth? 55783 That may be; but was he connected with a woman in 1893?"
55783That was Sir Gregory''s father?
55783That will do,cried Fanks, jumping into the vehicle which had driven up;"which way did the cab turn?"
55783That''s in India, is n''t it?
55783That''s near Mere Hall, ai n''t it, sir?
55783The Fellengers are a Hampshire family, I believe?
55783The body was on the sofa, you say?
55783The dead? 55783 The letter was from a woman?"
55783The one in the''Morning Post''which upset your cousin on the fourteenth; in which drawer does he stow his letters?
55783The other blackguard, the other blackmailer? 55783 The tattooed cross?
55783Then these photographs are those of two different women?
55783Then what are you driving at?
55783Then what do you think was the motive of the murder?
55783Then what is it that Hersham did not wish you to reveal?
55783Then who is guilty if he is not?
55783Then who is it?
55783Then who was the black man who killed the baronet?
55783Then who wrote it?
55783Then why are you here, sir?
55783Then why arrest Binjoy?
55783Then why did you ask me to assist you?
55783Then why did you have me watched?
55783Then why is there a cross tattooed on his left arm?
55783Then why not see Hersham?
55783Then why was he here on the night of the murder?
55783Then you are certain that Renshaw is Binjoy?
55783Then you are not intimate with Sir Louis?
55783Then you know that Caesar killed Sir Gregory?
55783Then you suppose that Binjoy instructed Caesar to kill Sir Gregory?
55783There was no other trouble; no financial difficulty?
55783To give me this packet?
55783Touching the advertisement?
55783True enough,said Hersham, examining the three objects closely,"but what of that?"
55783Two glasses, you say? 55783 Two men, you say?
55783Was Binjoy friendly with Sir Gregory?
55783Was Emma Calvert really and truly the wife of your master?
55783Was Mrs. Jerusalem in the house, then?
55783Was Sir Francis a sailor?
55783Was Sir Louis in Tooley''s Alley on that evening?
55783Was Sir Louis rich?
55783Was he a kind master?
55783Was he here?
55783Was he with you all the time, Maxwell?
55783Was it for this purpose that you came to see me?
55783Was it in the dark that he ran over you?
55783Was it sent to that address?
55783Was it the truth?
55783Was it your sister''s possession?
55783Was she a lady, Maxwell, or an imitation of one?
55783Was the handwriting a man''s or a woman''s?
55783Was the murder committed in one of the bedrooms?
55783Was the room in the same state as it is now?
55783Was there any writing on the back then?
55783Well, Fanks, and what do you think of all this?
55783Well, Maxwell,he said,"what is this?"
55783Well, Mr. Fanks, whom do you suspect?
55783Well, Mr. Fellenger, will you come up with me and see the last act of the comedy?
55783Well, Mrs. Boazoph,said he, mildly,"I suppose you are wondering what brings me here?"
55783Well, and who is the heir?
55783Well,he said, in a low tone,"so Hersham is the culprit after all?"
55783Well?
55783Well?
55783Were there any signs of a struggle?
55783Were you near at hand?
55783Were you not in attendance on him?
55783Were you waiting for me here?
55783What about Binjoy?
55783What about Madaline Garry and her revenge?
55783What advertisement?
55783What am I to do about him, sir?
55783What are you staring at?
55783What are your plans?
55783What can you have to say to me?
55783What did she call herself?
55783What did you do?
55783What discovery?
55783What do you intend to do now?
55783What do you knew of Emma Calvert, sir?
55783What do you know about Anne Colmer?
55783What do you know of Emma Calvert?
55783What do you know of the tattooed cross?
55783What do you mean?
55783What do you mean?
55783What do you mean?
55783What do you mean?
55783What do you mean?
55783What do you think of that?
55783What do you want to know for, sir?
55783What do you wish to see him about?
55783What do you wish to talk about?
55783What does he threaten to accuse you of?
55783What does it''matter?
55783What does this window look out on to?
55783What have you been doing there?
55783What have you told him?
55783What is impossible?
55783What is that you say?
55783What is that?
55783What is the matter, Crate?
55783What is the matter?
55783What is the matter?
55783What is the matter?
55783What is this letter you expect?
55783What kind of a person is the lady in question?
55783What kind of surprise?
55783What makes you agree with my theory?
55783What makes you think that?
55783What makes you think they do not get on well?
55783What of that? 55783 What paper did your master take in?"
55783What part of Piccadilly?
55783What the deuce are you doing here?
55783What the deuce did she do that for?
55783What was he doing in your rooms?
55783What was in the telegram?
55783What was that?
55783What would you say, Miss Colmer, if I told you that I had found the assassin of Sir Gregory?
55783What writing do you mean?
55783When did you get back to town, Fanks?
55783When did you hear of your cousin''s death?
55783When does the''Oceana''leave the Docks?
55783When shall I see you again?
55783When was the crime committed?
55783When you entered the room and discovered the fact of the murder, where was the body?
55783When you left Sir Gregory to get seats for the theatre how was he dressed?
55783Where are you staying?
55783Where did you go on that night?
55783Where did you see this person?
55783Where does he reside now?
55783Where has she gone?
55783Where is Robert?
55783Where is she buried?
55783Where is the body?
55783Where is this woman and her friend?
55783Where?
55783Which way did he go? 55783 Which you did?"
55783Who are you, sir?
55783Who could tell him but yourself?
55783Who is that young lady?
55783Who is the present baronet? 55783 Who put the advertisement in the paper?"
55783Who said that? 55783 Why America?"
55783Why are you afraid? 55783 Why did not you go by train?
55783Why did they hate one another?
55783Why did you come to the rooms of Sir Gregory?
55783Why did you expect the telegram at six?
55783Why did you wish to get the photograph?
55783Why do you speak of these things?
55783Why do you think so?
55783Why must I?
55783Why not? 55783 Why not?
55783Why not? 55783 Why not?"
55783Why should Sir Francis mark the child of Fielding?
55783Why should it take you by surprise?
55783Why should you ask me that?
55783Why should you come down here, and ask questions about Sir Francis Fellenger?
55783Why so?
55783Why was Sir Francis afraid of Madaline Garry? 55783 Why with the latter gentleman?"
55783Why, you do n''t think----?
55783Why?
55783Will it take you all that time to find out the truth?
55783Will she tell in order to save Hersham?
55783Will you go away after you have seen him?
55783Will you please excuse this intrusion, father, and look over these?
55783Will you swear to that?
55783Will you tell my cousin that I am here?
55783With Miss Colmer?
55783Would your mother know?
55783You are Sir Gregory''s cousin?
55783You are having me watched?
55783You are sure that she was his wife?
55783You can contest this matter?
55783You can not guess who committed the crime?
55783You can not think who wrote it?
55783You do n''t mean to say that you are concerned in the murder?
55783You do n''t think Hersham is illegitimate, do you?
55783You do n''t think that Dr. Binjoy was up in London on the night you met Caesar on the bicycle?
55783You do n''t think that I would help him to escape?
55783You do n''t think that person has anything to do with it?
55783You do n''t trust the man?
55783You do not think-- my friend-- any knowledge-- murder?
55783You had no idea where your master was going?
55783You hated him then?
55783You have been to Mere Hall?
55783You have evidence against me?
55783You have no idea why a cross similar to this should have been tattooed on Sir Gregory''s arm by a negro?
55783You know her, it seems?
55783You know that Fellenger died from poison?
55783You know that also?
55783You know that he was murdered?
55783You know that?
55783You like Sir Louis?
55783You mean that he employed the negro to commit it?
55783You say that Lady Fellenger-- whom you will persist in calling Emma Calvert-- is dead?
55783You say that she destroyed herself,he said;"had you anything to do with her death?"
55783You seem to be very confident about your secret society?
55783You speak as if Madaline Garry were still alive?
55783You suspect Sir Louis?
55783You think that she flung herself into the river?
55783You think that this is the picture of Emma Calvert?
55783You were listening to our conversation, Sir Louis?
55783You wo n''t speak?
55783You would be willing to repeat that opinion at the inquest, Doctor?
55783You would have killed him yourself, perhaps?
55783Your guess may be the correct one; let me know what it is?
55783Your master was agitated when he opened it?
55783--"How do you know?"
55783Again, would a negro be in possessiondied of such information as would induce Fellenger to permit the use of the needle?
55783Am I to hear the truth from you, Miss Colmer?"
55783And Turnor told you about your cousin''s death?"
55783And failing you?"
55783And for what purpose are you down here?"
55783And how did you act?"
55783And now, Mr. Fanks, I have told you all I know; is there any other question you wish to ask me?"
55783And the agreement you made with this man?"
55783And they came to have a chat-- by appointment?"
55783And was it he who made the obliterating mark?
55783And what did you call her, Robert?"
55783And what do you know about it?"
55783And what does she know about the tattooed cross?
55783And where is the paper?"
55783And who lies dead upstairs?"
55783And why have you been watched?"
55783Are you aware of any motive which might have induced the dead man to have a cross tattooed?"
55783Are you busy with anything else?"
55783Are you on good terms with your cousin Louis?"
55783Are you sure that there is no story attached to the tattooing?"
55783Because of your visit to those chambers?"
55783Binjoy?"
55783Binjoy?"
55783Binjoy?"
55783Binjoy?"
55783Binjoy?"
55783Binjoy?"
55783Boazoph?"
55783Boazoph?"
55783Boazoph?"
55783Boazoph?"
55783Boazoph?"
55783Boazoph?"
55783Bryant?"
55783Bryant?"
55783But if she dislikes Sir Louis and Binjoy why does she stay in the service of the former?"
55783But in what way do you expect her to help you?"
55783But the question is, what does Dr. Binjoy say?"
55783But then what could be his motive for the perpetration of so terrible a crime?
55783But what do you think of her suspicions?
55783But who was the person who told Sir Gregory the secret of that cross and tattooed it on his arm?"
55783But with regard to his recognition of you; how was it that you went to the chambers of that dead scoundrel?"
55783But would she explain?
55783By the way, are you going to arrest that atrocious little scamp?"
55783By the way, did Mr. Garth call to see me in my absence?"
55783By the way, do you know anything about Bombay?"
55783By the way,"added the detective,"did you like Sir Louis?"
55783Ca n''t you see that the address on that envelope is in female handwriting?"
55783Can you tell me in which direction she went?"
55783Did it strike you at the inquest that there was a resemblance between Doctors Renshaw and Binjoy?"
55783Did you come here to ask me about that cross which you know is tattooed on my left arm?"
55783Did you ever go to Taxton- on- Thames?"
55783Did you ever notice this cross?"
55783Did you ever see so insolent a confession as he made?"
55783Did you return to Taxton- on- Thames?"
55783Did you see Binjoy''s negro servant?"
55783Did you see it?"
55783Did you want it back for the picture, or because it had some writing on the back?"
55783Do n''t you think so yourself?"
55783Do you believe me, sir?"
55783Do you deny that, Binjoy?"
55783Do you expect him shortly?"
55783Do you happen to know where he put it?"
55783Do you know her?
55783Do you know her?
55783Do you know how they killed Sir Gregory?
55783Do you know if he tattooed anyone else with the same symbol?"
55783Do you know where it is?"
55783Do you know who Madeline Garry is?"
55783Do you know why the pair went up to London?"
55783Do you know why they killed Sir Gregory?
55783Do you really think that you will find the truth in that house?"
55783Do you recognise the body?"
55783Do you regret the loss?"
55783Do you suspect anybody?"
55783Do you suspect that I have anything to do with the murder of Sir Gregory?"
55783Do you think she will soon recover?"
55783Do you think that if he had been mixed up with secret societies that he would have been able to conceal the fact from me?"
55783Do you think that this cross has anything to do with the murder you are investigating?"
55783Do you want any money?"
55783Do yours point in the same way?"
55783Does Binjoy know about it also?
55783Dr. Binjoy is also tall and stout?"
55783Fanks made no reply to this remark; whereupon Miss Colmer continued:"Why do you think that I know anything about the crime?
55783Fanks?"
55783Fanks?"
55783Fanks?"
55783Fanks?"
55783Fanks?"
55783Fanks?"
55783Fanks?"
55783Fanks?"
55783Fanks?"
55783Fanks?"
55783Fanks?"
55783Fanks?"
55783Fanks?"
55783Fanks?"
55783Fellenger?"
55783Fielding or-- Madaline Garry?"
55783For what reason had she taken her departure so suddenly?
55783From your knowledge of your cousin''s character would you think it probable that he would destroy the letter making the appointment?"
55783Garth?"
55783Garth?"
55783Garth?"
55783Had you any reason to go to Mere Hall to see him?"
55783Has he done so?"
55783Have I you to thank for the alteration in his demeanour?"
55783Have you any idea what took him to Tooley''s Alley?"
55783Have you discovered anything?"
55783Have you seen her?
55783He heard of the death of Lady Fellenger in Paris, and--""Did he know that Fellenger had married her?"
55783He was a trifle rapid, I believe?"
55783He was in the neighbourhood--""Lured there by yourself?"
55783He wearied of her, he neglected her; she was very proud and impulsive; and one night after a great scene-- she-- she----""Well, man-- well?"
55783Her name, if you please?"
55783Hersham?"
55783How Emma Calvert came to London; how she met with Sir Gregory; and how she was loved by Herbert Vaud?"
55783How are you getting on with your work?"
55783How can you prove it?"
55783How could he when the young man conducted himself so circumspectly?
55783How did you come to know of him, sir?"
55783How did you guess my errand?"
55783How did you manage to dodge the traps I laid for you?"
55783How did you obtain your disguise?"
55783How did you trace me?"
55783How long have you been here?"
55783How should I?
55783How then can this living woman be Emma Calvert, Lady Fellenger?"
55783How then can this living woman be the lady in question?"
55783How was that?"
55783I am engaged to the sister of the dead girl; so I thought--""That I might accuse you of killing Sir Gregory out of revenge?"
55783I hope,"he added, with a faint smile,"that it is nothing in your line of business?"
55783I suppose you suspect your cousin on that account?"
55783I trust, Mr. Fanks, that you see no objection in my adopting this course?"
55783I was wondering why my cousin had not come up to take possession of the property; but it appears that he is ill.""Was he not at the funeral?"
55783I went there--""And you saw Renshaw?"
55783I wonder what those two scoundrelly doctors are doing in the States?"
55783I wonder when he is coming down to see me again?
55783I wonder,"added Fanks, with a silent laugh,"I wonder whether the criminal will prove to be black or white?"
55783If Emma Calvert were not dead, and this was she, why had she come to Half- Moon Street, and why had Robert fainted at the mere sight of her?
55783If not Mrs. Colmer-- an obvious impossibility-- who wrote it?"
55783If so, who was the woman who bore so extraordinary a resemblance to her?
55783If, on the other hand, he was being made a member-- a ceremony which would not have taken place in a low pot- house-- why should he be killed?
55783In a word, were Fellenger and Binjoy guilty of the murder of the cousin of the former?
55783In searching for one murder had they stumbled upon another?
55783In the meantime,"he continued, pointing to the table,"what is all this?"
55783In what way do you hope to accomplish so impossible a task?"
55783Is it important?"
55783Is it to betray the master whose bread you eat, that you have sought this meeting?"
55783Is she alive?"
55783Is she still alive?"
55783Is the name of that girl Emma Calvert?"
55783Is there a son?"
55783Is there anyone else?"
55783It seemed to Fanks that Hersham changed colour on hearing this; but he kept his feelings under control, and merely remarked,"In the Morgue?
55783Jerusalem?"
55783Jerusalem?"
55783Jerusalem?"
55783Just send the servant with this telegram, will you, and tell him to ask if there are any letters for me at the Pretty Maid Inn?"
55783Like his impudence, was n''t it?
55783Look up, Madaline Garry, and tell me if that man slew your son?"
55783Man or woman?"
55783May I ask if it is connected with the committal of this crime?
55783May I ask if you have any clue to the assassin?"
55783May I ask, Dr. Binjoy, why you took a false name?"
55783Mrs. Colmer, Dr. Binjoy, Anne, or Caesar, the missing negro?
55783Never mind that at the present moment, Hersham, but tell me if you have written to your father?"
55783Now that you have done so, may I ask what you want to know?"
55783Now what do you say?"
55783Now, can you tell me why Sir Gregory let a cross be pricked on his arm?"
55783Now, then, will you go to London, or stay here?"
55783Of what use was it that Francis marked his son as he marked me?
55783Oh, Edward Hersham?"
55783Perhaps you can tell me what that other name was?"
55783Perhaps you can tell me who killed Gregory?"
55783Poison, steel, or bludgeon?"
55783Prisom?"
55783Prisom?"
55783Quick, man, the address?"
55783Renshaw?"
55783Renshaw?"
55783So you suspect Garth?"
55783So you think of starting again on your travels?
55783The assassin himself?
55783Then if the person in question was not Hersham, who could he-- or she-- be?
55783Then there were two gentlemen in this room between six and seven?"
55783Then you never saw the two sisters together?"
55783To London or down the country?"
55783Turnor?"
55783Turnor?"
55783Turnor?"
55783Turnor?"
55783Understand?"
55783Vaud?"
55783Vaud?"
55783Vaud?"
55783Vaud?"
55783Vaud?"
55783Vaud?"
55783Wagg?"
55783Was Emma Calvert dead?
55783Was he then about to unravel the mystery of the tattooed cross which had puzzled him for so long?
55783Was it an ordinary needle?"
55783Was there any particular mark, by which I can recognise it?"
55783We shall see; show her into the sitting- room if she calls again; has that valet been out to- day?"
55783Well, you can understand that I hate Sir Louis, and I would gladly see Francis Garth sit in his place?"
55783Well, you were at the inquest?"
55783What am I to do in Paris?"
55783What are these circumstances?"
55783What could I tell him?
55783What dark mystery was connected with the death of this woman that could so move the man?
55783What dead?"
55783What did she say when you refused?"
55783What do you know about the tattooed cross?"
55783What do you mean?
55783What do you mean?"
55783What do you wish to know?"
55783What do_ you_ know of Mere Hall, sir?"
55783What girl?"
55783What is it you want me to do?"
55783What is it?"
55783What is there between you and him that he should act in this underhand way without telling me?
55783What is your opinion of me now?"
55783What more could you expect me to do?"
55783What motive had brought this woman to Fellenger''s chambers?
55783What of the black man?"
55783What the deuce were he and his medical friend doing there?
55783What took our late client to that locality, and why did he submit himself to the tattooing needle?"
55783What was she doing in such a place?
55783What''s the matter?"
55783What''s to be done now?"
55783Where did you go?"
55783Where has he gone to?"
55783Where is he now?"
55783Where was this photograph taken you wanted?"
55783Where would Mr. Garth be then?
55783Who is she?"
55783Who is there to tell him?"
55783Who told you?"
55783Who, then, placed this damning evidence of the crime in the box?
55783Why did Sir Francis tattoo the child with his favourite cross?
55783Why did she call there?
55783Why did she go up to town after sending you a wire to bring you down?"
55783Why did she marry Fielding, almost on the same day that your uncle married Miss Darmer?
55783Why do you ask me?"
55783Why do you ask?"
55783Why had she behaved in so mysterious a fashion, and why had she refused to reveal her reason for so acting to Hersham?
55783Why had she sent a telegram to withdraw her lover from London at the very time of the committal of the crime?
55783Why should I help you?"
55783Why should she take all this trouble for those two men?
55783Why should the child of Madaline Garry be marked in that way?"
55783Why was it, when you were afraid of being implicated in the crime, that you offered to supply the money for me to hunt down the criminal?"
55783Why?"
55783Will that content you?"
55783Would you care to hear it?
55783You do n''t mean to say that the murderer is a murderess?"
55783You do n''t think that I sent it?"
55783You do not mind my friend, Mr. Garth, being present, I hope?"
55783You know, of course, that they are going to be married in a month or so, that is, if Mrs. Colmer does not die in the meantime?"
55783You refuse to tell me?
55783You see the connection?"
55783You surely do not think the two men are one and the same?"
55783You wish to know who came here as a negro and killed my son?
55783Your address if you please?"
55783Yourself or somebody else?"
55783and the name?"
55783and what do you do next?"
55783asked Fanks, eyeing his companion keenly;"anything about this case?"
55783asked the detective, angrily,"and why did you run away when you saw me?"
55783cried Mrs. Boazoph, with an hysterical laugh,"do you think that I had anything to do with this crime?"
55783demanded Fanks, with a stare,"and how is it you know my name?"
55783groaned Hersham,"how are we to extricate ourselves from this mess?"
55783he demanded abruptly;"why do you write down her name?"
55783he said anxiously,"and what do you know about Miss Colmer?"
55783he said to the policeman,"has anyone been here this morning?"
55783he said;"I say, Garth?"
55783my friend,"he thought,"are you in this also?"
55783repeated Turnor, betraying himself, which was the reason Fanks had mentioned the name;"what do you know of Mere Hall?"
55783said Fanks, considerably astonished,"then how is it that your mother does not know the name of Boazoph?"
55783said Fanks, disgusted with her malignity,"and perhaps you know about the tattooed cross?"
55783said Fanks, looking up sharply,"and this person?"
55783said Fanks,"would not a line to Dr. Turnor have done?"
55783said Garth, in a startled tone,"was it there last time you looked?"
55783said Joe,"has she done anything, sir?"
55783said the detective, in a puzzled tone;"now, what possible connection can gunpowder have with this matter?"
55783she asked, with a troubled look;"why do you wish to know all these things?"
55783she cried,"do you mean to say that the black man was a disguised white man?"
55783stammered Mrs. Boazoph,"you saw me at Mere Hall?"
55783then there is more to tell?"
55783was the child of Madaline a son?"
55783what is the matter?"
56961A message? 56961 Am I to see Miss Underwood this morning?"
56961An Indian basket, is n''t it? 56961 And Miss Hadley?"
56961And Selby was one of them?
56961And baskets?
56961And did you tamper with my medicines, Ben?
56961And his family consists of--?
56961And if I do mind?
56961And my watch- chain? 56961 And so you want to be on the field of battle?"
56961And then when you got into the hall, what was it that called your attention to your father''s room? 56961 And they are coming this evening?"
56961And what of my family?
56961And you heard no noise of any one entering the house or leaving it?
56961And you really remember back to those days? 56961 And you went directly up to your room?"
56961And you wo n''t take me into your confidence?
56961Any city ordinance against it?
56961Anything else? 56961 Anything queer about her?"
56961Are n''t there some more tenable hypotheses that you have overlooked? 56961 Are n''t you going to tell, yourself?"
56961Are there any Indians living in or near town?
56961Are there any specific charges against them?
56961Are you Ben Bussey?
56961Assault? 56961 Being knotted in among the lilac bushes for safe keeping?
56961Ben Bussey?
56961Ben, you say? 56961 But how?
56961But if it were not for that,--am I the sort of girl that she would be apt to like?
56961But it is signed, is n''t it?
56961But not that Henry would seem to be the responsible person?
56961But not wise?
56961But the point is, is everything yours that you think is?
56961But they ca n''t connect father with this, can they?
56961But why should any one wish to?
56961But you are going on with me, are n''t you?
56961But you are positive that he did n''t give it to you and that you did n''t unconsciously drop it into your own pocket?
56961But you would n''t let that frighten you into silence, when your word would mean so much to him?
56961But your face--?
56961But, Rachel,--for heaven''s sake, what do you mean? 56961 But-- where is Henry?"
56961Can Selby shoot?
56961Can they speak English?
56961Can you tell me if this is where Dr. Underwood lives?
56961Can you tell me where to find the Agent?
56961Counsel? 56961 Did Selby learn how to make baskets like Ehimmeshunka?"
56961Did he say anything?
56961Did he send you?
56961Did he take any interest in Indian basketmaking?
56961Did it never occur to you that Henry and Selby hated each other so bitterly because they both cared for Miss Hadley?
56961Did it sound like a cry for help?
56961Did n''t the police investigate them?
56961Did n''t you see him at all? 56961 Did n''t you think it was time?"
56961Did something fix that fact in your memory?
56961Did you come here to look for him?
56961Did you gather that from my letters?
56961Did you get any of the original papers? 56961 Did you get any satisfaction out of your conversation?"
56961Did you make any attempt to find out how the advertisement came to the paper, Doctor?
56961Did you make that basket?
56961Did you notice what he did with it,--whether he gave it to your father, or left it on the mantel, or anywhere else?
56961Did you see him come in?
56961Did you tell him that you had just left Mr. Underwood in the garden last night?
56961Did you touch the bottle I had prepared for old man Means?
56961Did you use all of it?
56961Did you want something?
56961Did you want to tell me something?
56961Do I have to have one?
56961Do the people consider that Selby is justified in his charges?
56961Do you always use that sort of a pencil?
56961Do you find any market for your carving?
56961Do you happen to have one of those handbills you speak of about?
56961Do you hear that, Ben? 56961 Do you know where Dr. Underwood lives?"
56961Do you mean that I am lying?
56961Do you mean your promise to Philip?
56961Do you suppose Dr. Burton wanted that hot water to meliorate the temperature of the room? 56961 Do you think that if Dr. Underwood had had such an incriminating piece of evidence he would have kept it instead of destroying it?
56961Do you think there will be anything more than talk? 56961 Do you wish me to arrest Henry Underwood?"
56961Does Henry understand that he is to be watched?
56961Does Mrs. Overman have the same feeling about it?
56961Does Selby come here with his orders?
56961Does her habit of eavesdropping suggest nothing to you but idle curiosity?
56961Does n''t it seem curious that the knife was only discovered now, considering how many people have been back and forth over the place all forenoon?
56961Does your brother know it?
56961Engaged? 56961 Goes free?"
56961Had it crawled in by itself?
56961Had you been asleep?
56961Had you been in your room long?
56961Has Philip nothing to say on the subject himself?
56961Have you a Blue Book?
56961Have you an enemy, then?
56961Have you any enemies? 56961 Have you any ground for that opinion, beyond an optimistic disposition and a natural desire to spare the family of your patient?"
56961Have you anything to say to me?
56961Have you heard from Philip lately? 56961 Have you made any arrangement for counsel?"
56961Have you searched yourself?
56961He could n''t own that, could he?
56961He was n''t great for much of anything else, was he?
56961Henry, where have you been tonight? 56961 Henry, will you see the gentlemen to the door?"
56961Henry? 56961 Henry?
56961Here? 56961 How are you, Bussey?
56961How can I tell?
56961How can they believe it?
56961How could I see, with my eyes tied up?
56961How dare you let yourself go down like that?
56961How did he get out? 56961 How did it come to be under the Sprigg ruins?
56961How did they live? 56961 How did you get into my room?"
56961How do you do, Mrs. Bussey? 56961 How do you know?"
56961How does he do it?
56961How is my patient?
56961How is your cut finger? 56961 How long have you been doing this sort of thing?"
56961How long is it necessary to know a person before falling in love?
56961How much did you hear?
56961How old a man is the doctor?
56961How old was Henry at that time?
56961How so? 56961 How would Washitonka know it, if I had?"
56961How would we have got Ben down from that second floor where he lies like a log, if the house had gone?
56961I am glad that he is better, but why did n''t he come with you, instead of going across the water?
56961I hope nothing has,said Burton abruptly,"--but--""But what?"
56961I?
56961If Dr. Underwood did n''t do it, who did? 56961 If I succeed, will you have a different answer to send to Philip?"
56961In America, the families of the high contracting parties come in only for secondary consideration, do n''t they?
56961In practice?
56961In the name of wonder, why not?
56961Is Miss Underwood at home?
56961Is Philip with you?
56961Is Selby an old friend of yours?
56961Is Selby one of them?
56961Is a big man necessary if the case is to turn on facts? 56961 Is he fond of the place,--Oversite?
56961Is it beyond question that it is Henry''s?
56961Is it possible that it really is-- Ben Bussey?
56961Is it possible that she is still friendly to Selby?
56961Is it pure humanitarianism?
56961Is she contemptuous of those who do not dress exquisitely? 56961 Is she dark?"
56961Is she so much the savage that she admires him the more for striking her?
56961Is that chain yours?
56961Is that evidence or is n''t it? 56961 Is that outside door locked at night?"
56961Is that work you are doing an order?
56961Is there any least possibility of your caring for me? 56961 Is there any one else more likely?"
56961Is there anything peculiar about him?
56961Is there some one you would prefer?
56961Is this Dr. Underwood''s house?
56961Is your custom in the matter generally known?
56961It was the same knife you used to pry up the hearthstone with, the evening that your comrades(??) 56961 It was the same knife you used to pry up the hearthstone with, the evening that your comrades(??)
56961It was to please her, rather than Philip, that you came here?
56961Just for instance,--does Selby know?
56961Looking at my Indian things?
56961Makes what worse?
56961May I come in?
56961May I venture a word? 56961 Meaning me?"
56961Miss Underwood belongs to the doctor''s family then, does she?
56961Mr. Underwood came here last night to see you, did n''t he?
56961Mrs. Bussey, may I trouble you to bring some more hot water? 56961 Must I see her?"
56961My things? 56961 Not the hold- up?"
56961Not your brother?
56961Now do you see?
56961Now what''ll we do? 56961 Of what?"
56961Oh, Lord, what will happen to me if I do?
56961Oh, ca n''t I?
56961Oh, doctor, doctor, for the love of heaven what have you been in, now? 56961 Oh, why did n''t you take me up?"
56961Or write anything?
56961Other baskets, too, did n''t they? 56961 Perhaps you did n''t know what an outcast I am,--or did you?"
56961Poor papa, does it hurt?
56961Professional rivals?
56961Really?
56961Right here? 56961 Risk?
56961Selby?
56961Still unable to bear moving?
56961Suppose I do n''t agree with you?
56961Suppose I just do n''t play?
56961Take me up? 56961 That is,--if their name were cleared?
56961That was before the Indians were put on a Reservation, was n''t it?
56961That was n''t the first time he had come, though, was it? 56961 That''s all I am to know?"
56961That''s what you have to say, is it? 56961 The back hall that runs by the door of the surgery?"
56961The man that struck you?
56961Then Ben would be likely to know whether Selby learned weaving from the Indians, would n''t he?
56961Then how about me? 56961 Then this is goodbye?"
56961Then you absolutely refuse to give me any help?
56961Then you do n''t love Philip?
56961Then you have found something?
56961Then you know nothing of the personal history of Washitonka or who his friends are?
56961Then you really have no suspicion to better my own?
56961Then you think Miss Underwood overstates the case?
56961There was something more than these anonymous letters, then?
56961There, does n''t that begin to feel more comfortable?
56961These have been distributed generally?
56961This evening?
56961Those old tricks that we all laid up against Henry,--did you do that, too?
56961Time for what?
56961Was any one hurt?
56961Was anything done about investigating it?
56961Was it proved against him?
56961Was that when you were with Selby?
56961Was the baby lost?
56961Was the fire incendiary?
56961Was there a light in the room?
56961Was there any talk of-- arrest?
56961Well, Henry Underwood has n''t sprained an ankle, has he?
56961Well, have you made ready for them?
56961Well, then, why does Selby hate your brother?
56961Well, what next?
56961Well, what of it?
56961Well, what of it?
56961Well?
56961Well?
56961Were the orders received by mail, as in the other cases?
56961Were there any accusations of the other members of the family?
56961Were you?
56961What about that basket? 56961 What am I arrested for?"
56961What am I to think of this?
56961What are you waiting for, Higgins?
56961What business is it of yours?
56961What can we do? 56961 What did he mean by saying I had a charmed life?"
56961What did you do with it?
56961What did you do with the rest,--the ball?
56961What difference does it make about these people? 56961 What do I know about it?
56961What do you know about Ben Bussey?
56961What do you know yourself about these people?
56961What do you mean by a search, if I may ask?
56961What do you mean by bringing his name in?
56961What do you mean?
56961What do you mean?
56961What do you think of it?
56961What does Selby pay Ben Bussey for that woodcarving he buys?
56961What does Selby pay you for a piece of work like that?
56961What does he expect to happen?
56961What does he pay for a piece of work like this?
56961What does she look like? 56961 What does this mean?"
56961What form does it take?
56961What have you discovered?
56961What have you done with Ben?
56961What have you got to say about this, anyhow?
56961What if I do?
56961What if something happens while you are away?
56961What in particular?
56961What in the world is the matter? 56961 What is Ben''s attitude?
56961What is he shooting at?
56961What is it for?
56961What is it? 56961 What is it?"
56961What is it?
56961What is the matter?
56961What kid?
56961What made you say_ to_ Selby, instead of of, by, for, or from Selby?
56961What makes you laugh?
56961What makes you think anything could have happened to Selby?
56961What makes you think so?
56961What matter about a few towels, Mrs. Bussey? 56961 What of it?"
56961What of it?
56961What sort of a girl are you?
56961What sort of a man is Selby?
56961What sort of things?
56961What specific reason is there for connecting the doctor with the robbery?
56961What the devil have you got to say about it?
56961What then?
56961What was her condition?
56961What would happen if you did n''t?
56961What you want, Washitonka?
56961What''s that? 56961 What''s this about Henry''s escape?"
56961What-- what do you mean?
56961When did he say that?
56961Where are your things, Hugh? 56961 Where did the wind come from?
56961Where did you get this?
56961Where did you know the Indians?
56961Where was it?
56961Who are you?
56961Who found it?
56961Who is that man,--the smaller one?
56961Who left this?
56961Who make this basket?
56961Who received the letters? 56961 Who says I was talking to a strange man?"
56961Who says so?
56961Who started that fire?
56961Who that is human would not wish to forget? 56961 Who tied it in?"
56961Who wants me?
56961Who was it gave the alarm? 56961 Why are you so provoking, Hugh?"
56961Why ca n''t you?
56961Why do you ask that?
56961Why do you look so depressed, father?
56961Why do you wish to forget?
56961Why does your brother hate Selby?
56961Why not?
56961Why this pious gratitude?
56961Why, you do n''t think Henry will shoot Selby at sight for carrying off his girl, do you?
56961Why,--Henry_ has_ got away, has n''t he?
56961Why? 56961 Why?
56961Why? 56961 Why?"
56961Why?
56961Will he?
56961Will you direct me to Dr. Underwood''s house now?
56961Will you explain to him that I want to find out about basket- weaving?
56961Will you take her my card, please?
56961Would n''t any one hate him?
56961Would you know if there were any one? 56961 Would you rather not?"
56961Writing a book?
56961Yes?
56961You are a great friend of hers, are you not?
56961You are going away to- morrow? 56961 You are going to see that girl?"
56961You are not going on with her?
56961You attach so much importance to this-- idea of yours?
56961You ca n''t be sure about it?
56961You came in through the window in the drawing- room, did n''t you?
56961You do n''t know the house?
56961You do n''t think he will ever tell that I met him in the garden?
56961You do n''t, by any chance, recognize that handwriting?
56961You have nothing definite, then, to go upon?
56961You have seen her working, then?
56961You mean he does n''t own it?
56961You mean that you will help him?
56961You really mean that, do n''t you? 56961 You really mean that?
56961You still think--?
56961You want his office?
56961You will see father before you leave, will you not?
56961You wished to see me?
56961You wo n''t tell him that I accused him?
56961You''re very clever at making speeches, are n''t you? 56961 You-- you do n''t think Mr. Underwood would tell?"
56961_ No!_"Did n''t you ever love him?
56961_ You_ want him, Higgins? 56961 ( Had n''t he been crazy about Ellice Avery a year before?) 56961 A little change passed over her sensitive face,--could it have been a flicker of amusement? 56961 And have you preserved them?
56961And how''s Ben?
56961And if you really think it wise to visit the scene of disaster this morning, will you not permit me to accompany you?"
56961And scissors?"
56961And she dresses exquisitely, does n''t she?"
56961And then, as he was turning away, she added quickly,"How long has Mrs. Overman been a widow?"
56961Any more damages?"
56961Anything else?"
56961Are people in High Ridge in the habit of publishing cards of this sort?"
56961Are you to be in High Ridge for some time?"
56961Ben Bussey?"
56961Bring them here,--here to this room, do you understand?"
56961Burton waited a moment, then he asked suddenly:"Did Selby give you back your knife, before he left the surgery the other night?"
56961Burton''s inquiry was specific and definite: Had any white men been among them and learned how to weave baskets?
56961Burton?"
56961Burton?"
56961Bussey?"
56961But did he have occasion to hate him to the death?
56961But did you do anything, and how long did it take you?
56961But how are we going to make it clear to the world at large?
56961But if Henry was innocent, who was the man who was so bent on making him appear guilty?
56961But if in fact it had been Henry, how could he challenge him, here in his own room?
56961But if it was sperrets they could a took the baby clear over to some house, could n''t they?
56961But perhaps she did not notice the omission, for as she withdrew her hand from his she asked gayly:"Well, what luck?"
56961But what suggests the question?"
56961But what was the outcome to be?
56961But why are you so curious about Selby''s Indian experiences?
56961But why should he be so secretive about it?
56961But you are not inquiring into his morals?"
56961By hunting and fishing?"
56961By the way, you did n''t have any reward for your vigil last night, did you?
56961By the window or the door?"
56961Can I talk to Ben Bussey?"
56961Can you give no description?"
56961Can you suggest how I can find it?"
56961Can you tell me--?"
56961Could he not buy better baskets in the stores, not to mention buckets of beautiful tin?
56961Could it be that she entertained any of his own uncomfortable doubts as to the accidental character of the fire?
56961Could it possibly be Selby who was eavesdropping?
56961Could n''t she see that he had to present the best side of his cause?
56961Did Ben object?"
56961Did Rachel Overman know how heavily she was drawing on his friendship?
56961Did anything come of that?"
56961Did he go among them also?"
56961Did he leave anything in the room?"
56961Did n''t your mother tell you that Henry had cut his finger?"
56961Did some one enter your bedroom?"
56961Did they do any kind of work like carving?"
56961Did they make no discoveries, have no theories?"
56961Did they think to frighten him off?
56961Did you buy a ball of stout twine at Proctor''s the other day?"
56961Did you buy it of him?"
56961Did you copy it or design it yourself?"
56961Did you ever try to color your carvings?
56961Did you hear about the rescue of the Sprigg baby?"
56961Did you meet Leslie in Washington?"
56961Did you put something behind it?"
56961Did you read anything after you went to your room?"
56961Did you rob Selby, Ben?"
56961Did you tell Ben that I did n''t pay him enough for his work?"
56961Did you want lunch?"
56961Discharged servants, for instance?"
56961Do n''t you agree with me?"
56961Do n''t you consider it probable?"
56961Do n''t you think you might go and see him and tell him that you believe in him?
56961Do you believe in evil spirits that carry out the secret wishes of men who are-- criminally insane?"
56961Do you know any one in town who could weave one for me?"
56961Do you know any one in town who has a personal acquaintance with the Indians?"
56961Do you know where to find some court- plaster?
56961Do you mean now that it was I who robbed you?"
56961Do you remember whether you gave the knife to Henry or to the doctor when you left?"
56961Do you want me to go back home, or would you rather send some one to show me the way to jail?"
56961Does Selby-- again, just for instance,--have access to your house?"
56961Does he write those typewritten accusations on your machine while Mrs. Bussey plays sentry?
56961Does that make you curious?
56961Does that mean nothing?"
56961Does that prove anything or does n''t it?"
56961Every one of us might have been burnt to death, and where are our things and our clothes and our home, and where are we going to live?
56961Exactly what feeling was it that brought such a challenging light into her eyes?
56961Friends of yours?
56961From whom?
56961Go west?
56961Had he drugged him or tied him up as Hadley had been tied, or merely and effectively killed him?
56961Had he gone far enough in his hint to the doctor?
56961Had it been used?
56961Had she been listening at the window?
56961Hadley?"
56961Hadley?"
56961Have they found him out?
56961Have they found him out?"
56961Have you had any narrow escapes?"
56961Have you happened to hear of the lively times Henry gave the town some six years ago?
56961Have you seen the morning paper?"
56961Have you thought of that possibility?"
56961He is n''t here now, is he?"
56961Henry?
56961Her father?
56961Here?
56961How could you refuse a fellow mortal a paper of tobacco when he came and took it out of your pocket?
56961How did it get there?"
56961How did this curious and unexpected situation affect the commission with which he was charged?
56961How did you always know so surely how to strike, Ben?"
56961How did you come to learn carving?"
56961How did you discover what had happened to your father?"
56961How did you get word to them to hold their tongue, Ben?"
56961How did you guess?"
56961How did you happen to be here?
56961How did you happen to send to inquire?"
56961How far did you-- exercise diplomacy?"
56961How is that?"
56961How is that?"
56961How long were you in your room before you remembered about the window?"
56961How much?"
56961How was he going to break to Miss Underwood the news that Philip had jilted her?
56961How was he to pin this irresponsible child down to the facts of the situation?
56961How young does she look?"
56961How?"
56961How_ can_ we ever tell him?"
56961I guess that''s all they had time to get in,--""Who?"
56961I suppose you have heard that I have an evil temper?"
56961If I went up to the Reservation, should I find any of those old neighbors of yours?"
56961If he had so hidden it, would he have invited you here to search?
56961If he were bound to keep it, do you think he would hide it where the first careless search would bring it to light?
56961If it had been a stranger, would Henry not have been aroused by the opening and shutting of the outside door?
56961If it really had been he who had been guilty of that midnight attack, was it in human power for him to conceal all trace of his consciousness?
56961In High Ridge?"
56961In short, does Selby supply the venom, and Mrs. Bussey the easy, ignorant and vindictive tool?
56961Instead, he asked abruptly:"What made you take that letter out of my room?"
56961Is he a regular physician?"
56961Is he resentful?"
56961Is she very beautiful?"
56961Is that beside the mark?
56961Is that it?"
56961Is that so?"
56961Is that you?"
56961Is the basket rare?"
56961Is there any one in town who can weave in the Indian fashion?"
56961Is there anything worth getting off for, or shall we just sit and talk?"
56961Is there anything you want now?"
56961Is this room locked at night?"
56961It was with deliberate intention that he said to the hotel clerk, after he had registered:"How far is it to Dr. Underwood''s house?"
56961Jerusalem, what do you think it is now?
56961Just take them off, will you?"
56961Just what had he gained?
56961Know the doctor?"
56961Look at that, will you?"
56961May I go home with you, and report the affair to him?"
56961May I see it?"
56961May I stay, Doctor?"
56961Must I hunt Mr. Selby up, and apologize for the liveliness of my imagination?"
56961Oh, father, what has happened?"
56961Or about anything?"
56961Or an oak, like that one, fulfilling its nature without blame and without harm?"
56961Or enemies?"
56961Or his mother?"
56961Or is it common knowledge that you use a carpenter''s pencil?"
56961Or merely tolerant?"
56961Or, rather, was there a possibility that it was not Henry?
56961Proctor?"
56961Rachel trivial?
56961Ralston handed it over to Burton, asking in an undertone:"What do you make of it?"
56961Remember him?"
56961Shall I burn it up?"
56961Shall I let loose the dog?"
56961She smiled enigmatically, and instead of answering at once she asked in turn:"Exactly what did you say to Miss Underwood?
56961Should he confess himself beaten and take the afternoon train back to High Ridge?
56961So will you take me up to his room at once, before he hears me or takes an alarm?"
56961Some one I know?"
56961Surely there is nothing to connect him with a highway robbery?"
56961Take you there?"
56961Taking these things together, how far am I responsible for Selby''s death?"
56961That is the name of their estate at Putney?"
56961Then she asked:"May he talk now?"
56961Then, as an afterthought, she asked:"Is Philip with her?"
56961There was no attempt to enter the surgery?"
56961There were a dozen Underwoods,--a baker, a banker, a coal heaver, a doctor, a merchant,--where did Miss Leslie belong?
56961They are made at the Reservation, are n''t they?"
56961Underwood''s?"
56961Underwood''s?"
56961Underwood?"
56961Underwood?"
56961Was he a stranger?"
56961Was he being purposely blocked in his investigation?
56961Was his door open?"
56961Was it Henry who was persecuting the doctor?
56961Was it I, or was n''t it?"
56961Was it his fancy, or did the curtain stir with something more palpable than the wind?
56961Was it not straining incredulity to doubt that it was Henry who had tried to enter his room a few minutes later?
56961Was it possible that Leslie Underwood''s brother was criminally insane?
56961Was it possible that he connected the shot through Burton''s window, which had been talked of merely as an accident, with Selby?
56961Was it possible that he was trying to make an escape?
56961Was it possible that just because he hated Selby he was so scrupulous not to implicate him?
56961Was there a door open?"
56961Was there anything more, Miss Underwood?"
56961Well, now that these polite preliminaries have passed, what is the real object of your visit?"
56961Were you frightened?"
56961What about?"
56961What can one do?"
56961What d''ye mean?"
56961What difference did it make to him what sort of a look there was in the eyes of Philip''s betrothed?
56961What do you do for mental exercise when you are at home?"
56961What does he mean by this?
56961What else, Miss Underwood?"
56961What for?"
56961What for?"
56961What have I to commend me to her?
56961What have you been doing?"
56961What have you done to yourself?
56961What is he afraid of?"
56961What made you stir up such a hullaballoo about my merely temporary absence?"
56961What made you think of him?
56961What sort of people were the Underwoods, anyhow?
56961What troubles you?"
56961What would you have done?"
56961What''s a few dollars more or less to make a fuss over?
56961When did this happen?"
56961Where did you get hold of them?"
56961Where does that lead?"
56961Where had Henry been when he came back from town at two o''clock in the night?
56961Where in the world did it come from?
56961Where is Philip?"
56961Where is your father?"
56961Where was Henry when that fire started?"
56961Where''s your equanimity?
56961Who are they that you should care?"
56961Who comes frequently and familiarly to your house?
56961Who else could use this room without exciting comment?
56961Who really was behind the High Ridge mystery?
56961Who that is human would not wish at times that he were a tulip, blooming in perfect beauty, and so doing all that could be asked of him?
56961Who was in the back room?
56961Who was this young woman after all, that she should dare to smile at Rachel Overman''s anxiety for her boy?
56961Who would know your ways?
56961Who would say that?"
56961Who''s the other?"
56961Whom did he assault, in the name of Goshen?"
56961Whom was he trying to help, except the Underwoods?
56961Why do n''t the parties who send out a bill like this sign it?"
56961Why do you speak of him?"
56961Why had he ever come?
56961Why had n''t Henry Underwood had sense enough to be satisfied with his narrow escape of the night before?
56961Why had n''t he called the porter in the first instance, if he felt it his affair?
56961Why should any white man wish to weave baskets?
56961Why should you help him?
56961Why the mischief did everybody grin at the mention of Dr. Underwood''s name?
56961Why was the message written this time instead of typewritten?
56961Why, what sort of a man is Dr. Underwood?
56961Why?
56961Why?"
56961Will you see my father first?"
56961Will you take me to his room, or shall I hunt for it myself?"
56961Wo n''t you play some more for me?"
56961Wo n''t you sit at my table, to give the fiction some verisimilitude?"
56961Would he wish to live there?"
56961Would n''t it be better to send Ben away?"
56961Would n''t it be possible to get Henry out of town?
56961Would n''t you have been frightened then?
56961Yet how could he have been posted?
56961You are suspected of firing the house,--you know that, do n''t you?"
56961You coming to visit, or are you going to write him up?"
56961You do n''t think they''ll try to pot you again, do you?"
56961You have never had a glimmering of an idea as to who it is that is persecuting you?"
56961You mean a lawyer?
56961You never saw him hanging about your house, did you, Doctor?"
56961You understand?"
56961You wo n''t mention that to your father, will you?
56961You wo n''t object?"
56961You''ve heard about the fire?"
56961You, Miss Hadley?
56961_ Who in High Ridge knew how to tie that peculiar knot?_ He must consult Dr. Underwood at once.
56961that he had turned special pleader in the case,--but for heaven''s sake, why could n''t the girl have pretended with him for a little while?
56432''Ad we, sir?
56432A pound, and what''s a pound, miss?
56432A slender instrument,repeated Fuller musingly,"why not a stiletto which an Italian would use?
56432A stranger?
56432About what?
56432After all I did for him, he tried to save Sorley, did he?
56432And Grison was alive? 56432 And ask no questions?"
56432And for why?
56432And he was murdered on account of the peacock?
56432And the key which came out of that box?
56432And the roast beef will not be up to the mark?
56432And then?
56432And then?
56432And then?
56432And there may be something wrong with the mince pies?
56432And up to London?
56432And what, dear?
56432And who else should I mean, Mr. Alan, if not him? 56432 And why did she mention that her brother was trying to solve some secret writing which he hoped would bring him money?"
56432And you suspect Sorley, with Bakche as a factor in the case?
56432And you''re quite horrid, are n''t you?
56432Are there more than one?
56432Are they likely to?
56432Are we?
56432Are you staying long down here, Miss Grison?
56432Are you sure that Grison had the peacock on the night he died?
56432Are you sure that Mr. Grison did n''t give the peacock to someone, say a day or so before he met with his death?
56432Are you talking about ciphers, Miss Grison? 56432 Are you?"
56432As how, in this instance?
56432As to the evidence against him-- what is it, Alan?
56432Bakche wanted the peacock, and I told him that it was lost?
56432Bakche, the Indian? 56432 Beastly night, is n''t it?"
56432Besides, how could he have it?
56432But are you really engaged to Alan?
56432But are you sure Mr. Grison was murdered because of the peacock?
56432But has your visit helped him? 56432 But how can our sleeping there alter Moon''s intentions?"
56432But how can that be done when the peacock is missing?
56432But how can there be secret writing on a metal ornament?
56432But how can we?
56432But how could he have learned about the Begum''s treasure?
56432But how could she get it from her brother, when Jotty said that he saw it on the night of the murder in Grison''s possession?
56432But how could she get the peacock?
56432But how did you know Miss Grison had it Jotty?
56432But if she hates you, Mr. Sorley, why did she give you back what you so very greatly desired?
56432But if she took the peacock why did n''t you have her arrested?
56432But in what way?
56432But on what grounds----?
56432But she does n''t know that he has the peacock-- for certain that is?
56432But since you have given him a chance of being respectable why ruin him?
56432But the motive?
56432But we have to confront him with Jotty; and where is the boy?
56432But what reason was given for his dismissal?
56432But what was the use of sending the secret to George when it could not be guessed?
56432But who told you about that, my boy?
56432But why did she tell me that? 56432 But why do you ask about the peacock?"
56432But why should he do that?
56432But why should he?
56432But you have some suspicion?
56432But you know who did?
56432But-- but Mr. Sorley has not been arrested has he?
56432But-- but-- what has this murdered man to do with Belstone?
56432By the way, father, do you remember that peacock of jewels which was the fetish or luck of the Inderwicks?
56432By the way, how is Marie?
56432Ca n''t you guess, sir?
56432Can I help you in any way?
56432Can you describe the man?
56432Can you open it, Marie?
56432Can you prove that he was not?
56432Can you prove that he was?
56432Can you suggest any motive for the commission of the crime?
56432Can you swear to that?
56432Could n''t you cry out?
56432Darling you never went by yourself to see that dreadful old hag?
56432Dear, have you found it?
56432Dick, where are you going?
56432Did I not?
56432Did I? 56432 Did Miss Grison''s evidence throw any light on the crime?"
56432Did Mother Slaig see her?
56432Did Uncle Ran ever care for her?
56432Did he come often?
56432Did he ever decipher the secret writing you refer to?
56432Did he ever give you to understand otherwise?
56432Did he say anything about returning?
56432Did n''t the detective hold him when he alighted?
56432Did she know of your visits?
56432Did she really bring back the peacock?
56432Did she say how he was turned out of the house as a drunken swine?
56432Did she tell him also that her brother was my secretary twenty years ago, Alan?
56432Did you say who had stolen it?
56432Did you stay there, father?
56432Did your brother steal the peacock of jewels from The Monastery?
56432Do I know him well?
56432Do n''t I?
56432Do n''t you then believe that Sorley is guilty?
56432Do n''t you wish to take it away with you?
56432Do you hint that Jotty is guilty?
56432Do you know him well?
56432Do you know if any relatives of this dead man came down here?
56432Do you know that I went to dinner at Miss Grison''s boarding- house?
56432Do you know the name?
56432Do you know the story set forth in this article?
56432Do you know the truth?
56432Do you know this?
56432Do you know who stole it from Belstone?
56432Do you know why I dismissed her brother, Alan?
56432Do you mean the servants?
56432Do you think Bakche may have killed Grison?
56432Does he know that Sorley is the culprit?
56432Does that mean I am the criminal?
56432Does that mean that you believe Uncle Ran is guilty?
56432Even George and Simon?
56432For Louisa?
56432For money?
56432For what reason?
56432Guilty? 56432 Had n''t you better speak to me privately?"
56432Happy?
56432Has Mr. Sorley been arrested?
56432Has Mr. Sorley given up the peacock to the police?
56432Has he ever mentioned my name to you?
56432Have you any idea that such an attempt will be made?
56432Have you any idea who murdered your brother?
56432Have you asked her why she behaved in this manner?
56432Have you been looking into the matter?
56432Have you got it, Alan?
56432Have you had tea?
56432Have you heard before that this man Grison was murdered for the sake of the peacock?
56432Have you seen this?
56432Have you seen this?
56432Have you solved this riddle?
56432Have you the letter?
56432Have you, Fuller?
56432He would n''t have done so had Uncle Ran been brought to trial?
56432Him with the big coat like the bear them Italyains chivy about?
56432His wife?
56432How are the happy pair?
56432How are you going to set about the matter?
56432How are you, Miss Grison? 56432 How can I guess?"
56432How can I help you, man? 56432 How can I, or how can Latimer?
56432How can she prove that?
56432How can we open the thing?
56432How can we when you talk all round the shop?
56432How can you expect me to guess it?
56432How can you prove that, my dear girl?
56432How can you say such horrid things?
56432How dare you bring that beast here?
56432How dare you, sir; by what right do you doubt me?
56432How dare you?
56432How did he come here?
56432How did he learn?
56432How did it come here?
56432How do you know that I came down to speak of the crime?
56432How do you know that this gentleman you describe wrote the letter?
56432How do you know?
56432How do you know?
56432How do you make that out?
56432How do you mean meant a letter, dear?
56432How does the lad come here?
56432How much are the jewels worth?
56432How the deuce should I know?
56432How was it lost, father?
56432How-- how did he escape?
56432I am wondering if he has anything to do with the peacock?
56432I can answer that if you will reply to a question?
56432I do n''t think I should take that hint coming from such a quarter,said Dick reflectively,"who knows the truth according to Bakche?"
56432I fancy I heard something about a foreigner staying there,he said quietly,"in July last was it not?"
56432I fear that would be too long,said Fuller hastily, for he was growing weary of this enthusiasm;"but are you not afraid of these being stolen?"
56432I mean that in the midst of life we are in death,rejoined Sorley tartly, and in a somewhat enigmatic manner,"What else should I mean?"
56432I shall do so if you will answer one other question?
56432I should very much like to, my dearest spitfire, but would it be wise when your uncle discourages my attentions to you so pointedly?
56432I spoil you, do n''t I?
56432I suppose you and Bakche are enemies now?
56432I thought you had returned to your duties in Chancery Lane?
56432I want that letter, you imp?
56432If Sorley has not the peacock, and does not know the story of Ferrier, why should he speak to me about cryptograms?
56432If you are innocent why do you wish me to help you to escape?
56432In connection with what?
56432In shallow water? 56432 In spite of his escape?"
56432In the tail?
56432In what way?
56432In what way?
56432In what way?
56432In which case you would now be in possession of them, I presume?
56432Innocent when you have seen that note and heard Jotty''s description?
56432Is Miss Grison staying here then?
56432Is her heart weak?
56432Is it wise?
56432Is n''t it lovely, dearest?
56432Is n''t it wonderful, Alan?
56432Is that all you know?
56432Is there a treasure?
56432Is there any difficulty in finding it, Alan?
56432It is a very old bank, is n''t it?
56432It is very strange,said Miss Inderwick, pondering over this speech;"but how could he find out that Miss Grison knew about the peacock?"
56432It was a man then who murdered your brother?
56432It was won by Lord Clive, was n''t it?
56432It would not,contradicted Miss Grison,"what do you know about it, Mr. Fuller?
56432Its riddle? 56432 Jotty on one occasion entered the room, and found Grison nursing between his hands-- what do you think?"
56432Jotty what-- or is Jotty a surname?
56432Jotty?
56432Jotty?
56432Kisses, eh? 56432 Learn what?"
56432Marie, my dear, why did you not offer your guests tea?
56432Mother Slaig? 56432 My dear girl, what are you doing here?"
56432No, I ca n''t say that I am absolutely convinced of your guilt,admitted Alan cautiously,"but when you gave yourself up why did you run away again?"
56432No,she answered coolly;"it was all acting; did n''t I act well?"
56432Noises,repeated Inspector Moon reflectively,"and in Mr. Sorley''s house?"
56432Not even with the most charming girl in the world?
56432Nothing unpleasant, I trust?
56432Oh Alan, dear, you do n''t think that, do you?
56432Oh hevn''t I? 56432 Oh so you did hide here,"said Latimer slowly,"and Jotty?"
56432Oh, Alan, darling, why?
56432Oh, Alan,cried Miss Inderwick nervously,"why need you and Mr. Latimer do that when there is no need?"
56432Oh, Baldwin Grison''s funeral?
56432Oh, Marie, wo n''t you stay here?
56432Oh, so she told you that, did she? 56432 Oh, so there was an Indian here?"
56432Oh, then you are one of the Inderwicks of Belstone?
56432Oh, then, that was what you meant when you hinted your fears to me on Christmas Day at the vicarage?
56432Oh,cried Fuller quickly,"you saw that paper?"
56432Oh,cried Miss Inderwick greatly astonished,"how did you get it?"
56432Oh,said Dick leisurely;"which part of it in particular?"
56432Oh,said Dick meditatively,"so this visitor was a gent?"
56432On a charge of murder?
56432On account of her uncle?
56432On that occasion when she came and walked all over the house; when we found her sitting in the library?
56432On what grounds?
56432One moment,he said slowly,"you may wonder why I am telling you all this, and why I have brought you into the matter?
56432R. V. S."Is it his writing?
56432Rather architectural is n''t it, sir? 56432 Seen what?"
56432She''s a oner, ai n''t she?
56432So I thought at the time?
56432So this is the way in which you deceive me, Marie?
56432Still she can not be aware that Marie told me about the peacock riddle?
56432Tell me about Bakche?
56432Tell what?
56432The pool, the pool,cried Marie, throwing down her load;"why do you drag away those grasses, Alan?"
56432The question is, what is the truth? 56432 The street- arab whom Grison befriended?"
56432The treasure?
56432Then I take it that no one in the house heard any struggle, or cry for help?
56432Then he is after that?
56432Then he knows about the peacock?
56432Then what do you say?
56432Then what the deuce do you say?
56432Then why am I not to repeat what you say to Uncle Ran?
56432Then why did he discharge him?
56432Then why did he haunt Rotherhithe?
56432Then why did n''t he remain and say so?
56432Then why did you come here?
56432Then why did you run away?
56432Then why do you tell me?
56432Then why not question him, since he is at Miss Grison''s house?
56432Then why was he discharged?
56432Then you have seen Uncle Ran?
56432Then you know of some clue?
56432Then you think that he committed the murder, by----?
56432Then you were not ill?
56432Then you would like the man who stabbed him to be punished?
56432They know, I presume, that it was your brother who was murdered?
56432This looks bad,he said to the terrified Sorley;"is it yours?"
56432To me? 56432 Very kind and Christian- like, Alan, But why does Sorley put up with Miss Grison''s vagaries?"
56432Was Miss Grison at Rotherhithe on that night?
56432Was anything missed?
56432Was he here on the night of the murder?
56432Was she one of the Marchmonts of Augar Place, near Lewes?
56432Was there any evidence on the part of the doctor, or Mother Slaig, or those seamen in the house to show who murdered the man?
56432Well now, Dicky, what have you been doing?
56432Well then, if he is straight, why mistrust him?
56432Well what is to be done now, Dicky?
56432Well, and what happened then?
56432Well, my boy, a man can stab himself to the heart, ca n''t he?
56432Well, sir,said Inspector Moon, turning sharply on the dignified Indian,"and what do you know about this matter?"
56432Well?
56432Well?
56432Well?
56432Well?
56432What about?
56432What about?
56432What annoyed you, sir?
56432What answer did she make?
56432What are the instructions?
56432What are you thinking about, dear?
56432What can I do for you?
56432What did Miss Marchmont die of?
56432What do you know about Baldwin Grison?
56432What do you know of the matter?
56432What do you know?
56432What do you mean by that exactly?
56432What do you mean by the color answering the riddle?
56432What do you mean?
56432What do you mean?
56432What do you mean?
56432What do you say, Alan?
56432What do you think?
56432What do you wish to know?
56432What do you wish to say?
56432What does he want with Marie?
56432What does it all mean, Alan?
56432What does that matter? 56432 What else?"
56432What end?
56432What for?
56432What for?
56432What had he done?
56432What has to come out?
56432What if he did?
56432What is Moon doing about the matter?
56432What is her story?
56432What is in it?
56432What is it?
56432What is it?
56432What is that?
56432What is that?
56432What is that?
56432What is that?
56432What is the matter?
56432What is the name of the person you think was your brother''s enemy?
56432What is the question?
56432What is the truth anyhow?
56432What is the value of the jewels?
56432What is this letter?
56432What is to be done now, then?
56432What is worth a quid or two?
56432What is your opinion, Dick?
56432What jer want ter arsk?
56432What kind of a man was he to look at?
56432What on earth put that into your head?
56432What permission?
56432What signs?
56432What sort of help?
56432What sort of instrument was it, Alan?
56432What sort of luck will it bring, Granny?
56432What sort of people?
56432What the deuce is the matter?
56432What the dickens does he mean?
56432What was it?
56432What were the speculations?
56432What will you do, Alan?
56432What would have become of the gems had the bank smashed?
56432What''s that about marriage?
56432What''s that you say?
56432What''s that?
56432What''s that?
56432What''s to be done?
56432What?
56432What?
56432Whatever do you mean?
56432When did you call to see her?
56432When did you see the peacock last?
56432When then, if you please, liar that you are?
56432When was this?
56432Where are they? 56432 Where did he go?"
56432Where has she gone to?
56432Where is Alonzo?
56432Where is it to be buried?
56432Where is the boy now?
56432Who did it then?
56432Who is he? 56432 Who is he?"
56432Who is he?
56432Who is he?
56432Who is the sister?
56432Who knows? 56432 Who took it, boy?"
56432Who was the person?
56432Who was up before?
56432Who wrote this manuscript?
56432Who''s him, sir?
56432Whose old clothes?
56432Why are you certain?
56432Why as a jeweller?
56432Why did n''t you escape?
56432Why did n''t you give the alarm?
56432Why did n''t you tell this to Inspector Moon at the inquest?
56432Why did she turn so suddenly on Uncle Ran?
56432Why did the boy go to warn you?
56432Why did you bring that man here?
56432Why did you come here?
56432Why did you fly here?
56432Why did you think so?
56432Why did you visit Mrs. Grison''s boarding- house?
56432Why did you warn Mr. Sorley after betraying him to me?
56432Why did you?
56432Why do n''t you call me Louisa as you used to do?
56432Why do you defend the man so?
56432Why do you hate Sorley so?
56432Why do you look at me so suspiciously, Mr. Fuller? 56432 Why do you say that?"
56432Why do you want to speak about that?
56432Why do you wish to go there, miss?
56432Why does Uncle Ran wish to see you, Alan?
56432Why have you brought the rope, Marie?
56432Why is she acting so philanthropically?
56432Why not call it the well?
56432Why not say that I murdered him?
56432Why not to you?
56432Why not''Marie''to me, my haughty solicitor?
56432Why not?
56432Why not?
56432Why not?
56432Why should I murder my darling Baldwin?
56432Why should anything hurt her?
56432Why should he do that?
56432Why should he do that?
56432Why should he have anything to do with it?
56432Why should it be given back to you?
56432Why should she not?
56432Why should she?
56432Why should she?
56432Why should you think about him just now when I am here, Alan?
56432Why should you?
56432Why the peacock particularly?
56432Why to dinner?
56432Why, what can I know save what I have read in the papers?
56432Why?
56432Why?
56432Why?
56432Why?
56432Why?
56432Why?
56432Why?
56432Why?
56432Why?
56432Wicked? 56432 Will it ever be discovered?"
56432Will you do so?
56432Without food?
56432Wo n''t we try and solve the riddle?
56432Worth revenging, do you mean? 56432 Would you mind telling me your history?"
56432Yer a lawr gent?
56432Yes,cried the man,"and why?
56432Yes?
56432You agree to give me a third of my family jewels?
56432You are looking for a bird of paradise,said Fuller, coloring at the hint conveyed,"does such perfection exist in a mere human being?"
56432You are the manager of Yarbury''s Bank?
56432You believe that he is guilty?
56432You do n''t deny it, Miss Grison?
56432You do n''t trust Uncle Ran?
56432You have another name?
56432You intend to prove your uncle''s innocence-- or what you presume to be his innocence?
56432You know about the peacock then?
56432You know that Miss Grison hates me, and why?
56432You mean him?
56432You mean the peacock?
56432You shall marry the man I select,said Sorley sternly,"unless----""Unless what?"
56432You would have used violence?
56432Your wife?
56432A little man, was n''t he, with fair hair and blue eyes?
56432Alan Where are you?"
56432Alan paused for a reply but as none came he continued coolly:"How did you trace the possession of the peacock to Baldwin Grison?"
56432Alan thought that Sorley was rather thinking of himself, than of his niece,"but what''s to be done?"
56432Alan?"
56432Also that he came up to town by means of his motor cycle and murdered the man for its possession?"
56432Am I to find an enemy in you also, Alan?"
56432And after all,"ended Marie earnestly and inconsequently,"what does it matter what people say seeing that we love one another?"
56432And how are you?
56432And now that being settled so far may I ask what you intend to do?"
56432And the churchyard is attached to the building your father preaches in, my son,"said Latimer dryly,"odd coincidence, is n''t it?"
56432And then-- well,"she broke off abruptly,"can you blame me for hating this man?
56432And what will you do, Alan?"
56432And you?"
56432Are they good servants?"
56432Are you coming home, or have you business to attend to?"
56432As to Jotty showing you my letter----""Then you admit the letter?"
56432Bakche?"
56432Bakche?"
56432Bakche?"
56432Bakche?"
56432Bakche?"
56432Bakche?"
56432But had we not better put the peacock away?"
56432But how did this man become possessed of the ornament?"
56432But the stiletto?
56432But what does Miss Grison say?"
56432But what does all this lead to?"
56432But what has that to do with the peacock?"
56432But why am I not to tell Uncle Ran?"
56432But why did he give himself up at all?"
56432But you will tell me everything, wo n''t you?"
56432But, pardon me, Mr. Bakche, why do you come here and ask me these questions?"
56432By the way where is that wretched bird, which has caused so much trouble?"
56432By the way, how long has Sorley had the motor bicycle?"
56432CHAPTER XVIII THE TREASURE HUNT"Have you the papers, Alan?"
56432CHAPTER XX WHO IS GUILTY?
56432Ca n''t you find me a nice girl?"
56432Ca n''t you remember the name?"
56432Compare the letters?"
56432Dick, is n''t it strange how suspicious one gets of everything when on a man- hunt?"
56432Did I?
56432Did Miss Grison tell you my full name?"
56432Did n''t Jenny or Henny stop you?"
56432Did n''t he get money for giving up that letter?"
56432Did you ever see Grison?"
56432Did you not know that the box was at Yarbury''s Bank?"
56432Did you ride your motor bicycle?"
56432Do n''t you remember him, Alan?
56432Do you know that name?"
56432Do you know who I am?
56432Do you see this, policeman?
56432Do you think that I am afraid of a black man, Miss Grison?
56432Do you think that I did see the man and did use violence even to the extent of stabbing him?
56432Do you think,"cried Sorley bitterly,"that she will spoil the trap she has set?
56432Do you trust him yourself, Marie?"
56432Do you?"
56432Fuller?"
56432Fuller?"
56432Fuller?"
56432Fuller?"
56432Fuller?"
56432Fuller?"
56432Grison was alive?"
56432Grison, as Sorley''s secretary, must have found the manuscript and----""But if he found it, why did he not take it with him?"
56432Grison?"
56432Grison?"
56432Grison?"
56432Grison?"
56432Grison?"
56432Grison?"
56432Has he been to see you?"
56432Have the police discovered who murdered your brother?"
56432Have you any further ideas?"
56432Have you any reason to believe that Sorley himself knows about the peacock cryptogram?"
56432Have you ever seen an Indian gentleman in the village, my dear, or haunting The Monastery?"
56432He wore a snake?"
56432How are you getting along with that book on precious stones, may I ask?"
56432How can I speak when you talk?"
56432How could Bakche know about them?"
56432How dare you accuse me of the murder?"
56432How did he account for possession of the peacock?"
56432How did you recognise me?"
56432How do we know but what it consists of those gems which the Begum of Kam gave to George Inderwick?"
56432How do you know this?"
56432How do you manage to knock all these years off your age?"
56432How much?"
56432How then did it pass into Mr. Sorley''s hands unless that gentleman had committed the crime?
56432However he did not make any remark on this point, but asked a pertinent question:"Had Grison discovered the secret?"
56432However, Mr. Sorley did not prosecute----""Why not?
56432However, you know what you have to do?"
56432I appeal to Mr. Fuller as to whether he is willing to agree to my condition?"
56432I do n''t know why?"
56432I thought that was missing?"
56432I wonder if Jotty-- as he infers-- murdered Grison?"
56432I wonder if he murdered the man himself?"
56432I wonder where he has gone?"
56432I wonder why the stones are set all round it, though?"
56432If Sorley is innocent, and I sincerely trust that he is, who murdered this unfortunate Baldwin?"
56432In the meantime what do you make of Miss Grison''s statement that the peacock would ruin her?"
56432Inspector?"
56432Inspector?"
56432Inspector?"
56432Inspector?"
56432Is he guilty?"
56432Is he one himself?"
56432Is that not so?"
56432Is the course of justice to be stayed for the tears of a chit?"
56432Is the water boiling?"
56432Is this peacock of Indian workmanship?"
56432It is here then?"
56432Jotty, you liked Mr. Grison, did n''t you?"
56432Lapis lazuli, opal, and-- and-- what precious stone begins with''V,''Alan?"
56432Latimer?"
56432Latimer?"
56432Marie, does n''t everyone in the village know about the accusation of your uncle, and that a detective is in the house?"
56432May I ask what you two gentlemen are doing here?"
56432Meanwhile what''s up, that you rush in like a whirlwind?"
56432Miss Grison killed him?"
56432Mr. Berwick interrupted himself,"how can I be sure that this is Miss Inderwick?"
56432Now I ask you, sir, what can he know, staying but for one day, and only giving an eyewink at The Monastery where he----""Oh, he went there, did he?"
56432Now ai n''t y'', ai n''t y''?"
56432Now if you can prove his innocence, and thus do a service to Miss Inderwick, why then----""But how can I prove his innocence?"
56432Now is n''t she?"
56432Now the question is, how did Grison get hold of the ornament?"
56432Now what about the peacock of jewels?"
56432Of course since she hates the man, she---- Hullo, what''s up?"
56432Oh, Alan, what is to be done?
56432Oh, the poor soul, who can blame him?
56432Oh, what does it all mean?"
56432Oh-- perhaps it indicates the hiding- place?"
56432Poor soul, I wonder what she will say when she learns that her brother acted in this way?"
56432So Bakche was in the swim also, was he?
56432So Sorley tells a lie about that, does he?
56432So he was at the inquest, was he?"
56432So you are applying to the Government?"
56432So you have been making inquiries?
56432Some one might----""Have you any particular person in your mind?"
56432Sorley did not reply, but looked hard at the carpet,"What do you think of this Indian?"
56432Sorley?"
56432Sorley?"
56432Sorley?"
56432Tell me, Alan, has anything been discovered as to who killed him?"
56432The Inderwicks are poor, are n''t they, Alan?"
56432The riddle is to be read on the exterior of the peacock, you say?"
56432Them spots is th''shiny things ai n''t they, sir?"
56432These noises, Marie?
56432They are beautiful, are they not, Alan?"
56432They certainly had queer ways, had n''t they, John?"
56432To whom do you refer?"
56432Uncle Ran left it behind in his hurry, and----""He left in a hurry?"
56432WHO IS GUILTY?
56432Wan''t t''know anythin''else, lovey dovey?"
56432Was Sorley guilty after all, and were these stains the life blood of Baldwin Grison?
56432Well sir, will you let me draw it?"
56432Well, Mr. Fuller, what about the riddle?"
56432Well, and what more, Alan?"
56432Well, my son, and what do you think now?"
56432Well, sir?"
56432Well, sir?"
56432Well?"
56432Well?"
56432Well?"
56432Well?"
56432What about Sorley''s love affair?"
56432What about the peacock?"
56432What can he do?
56432What did I tell you, Alan, what did I tell you?
56432What did she say exactly, my dear?"
56432What do you mean, Marie?"
56432What do you mean?"
56432What else am I?"
56432What in your opinion is the step I should take?"
56432What is it?"
56432What is it?"
56432What like''s the cove''s y''ve got in yer mind, miss?"
56432What motive had I to kill the brother I loved so dearly?"
56432What proof can I give?
56432What secret?"
56432What threats?"
56432What was his name?"
56432What would you say of a woman who ruined you?"
56432What''s that letter you are holding?"
56432What''s that?
56432What''s the matter?"
56432What''s to be done now?"
56432What''s up?"
56432What''s your opinion, Alan?"
56432Whatever do you mean?"
56432When Baldwin finished his college career and got his degree----""Oh,"Alan was plainly surprised,"he got his degree, did he?"
56432When was the battle of Plassey, Alan?"
56432Where did you tell the man to drive to?"
56432Where had it originally come from?
56432Where had it originally come from?
56432Where shall we put it, Alan?"
56432Who has that ring?
56432Who has the peacock now?"
56432Who is Dick?"
56432Who is the greatest gossip in the village?"
56432Who killed him?"
56432Why do you act in this horrid, secret way, you disagreeable thing?"
56432Why do you hate him so?"
56432Why do you start?"
56432Why do you want to go to the Bow Street office again?"
56432Why not a peacock?"
56432Why not visit Miss Grison at her boarding- house?
56432Why not, when I am on a holiday?"
56432Why should I not?
56432Why should I?
56432Why should I?"
56432Why should n''t it be?"
56432Why should the mystery be concealed in the jewels of the tail?
56432Why waste your time?"
56432Why wicked, since this beast ruined both me and my brother?
56432Will you see her?"
56432You are fond of exercise?"
56432You can see that?"
56432You do not believe that I, am guilty; surely you do n''t?"
56432You infer then that he is innocent?"
56432You know the story?"
56432You mean to travel it, I presume?"
56432You on a bicycle?"
56432You surely do n''t think she killed her brother?"
56432You''ve fun''me sober thro''me not''aving-- where''s that there quid y''promised?"
56432You, I mean, you,"said Miss Grison walking slowly towards the Indian,"why could n''t you let me have my way?"
56432and finally, why had Grison stolen it?
56432and finally, why had Grison stolen it?
56432and how long are you going to stay?
56432and what have you in that black bag?"
56432and when did you arrive?
56432and will we go into the library?
56432asked Jotty, pointing at Dick in negro fashion with his sharp chin,"d''y wan''me t''tork wen he''s here?"
56432asked Marie, greatly puzzled,"and what word did it make?"
56432blood on the handle?
56432demanded Fuller indignantly,"and what have you been doing to him that he should be in this terrible state?"
56432is that so?"
56432observed Alan politely, and exposed the soles of his friend''s slippers to the fire,"what about supper?"
56432remarked Alan doubtfully, and looking hard at the speaker,"did you tell Miss Grison the story of your search?"
56432repeated Miss Grison with scorn;"if I am wicked, what are you?"
56432she asked sharply, and looking from one to the other,"what do you think of it?"
56432she cried,"what did I tell you, my dear?
56432she faced round fiercely to Moon,"why do n''t you put the handcuffs on him?
56432she said tauntingly;"and how are you going to prove I did such a thing?"
56432were n''t you dreaming?"
56432where are they?"
56432who had manufactured it?
56432who had manufactured it?
56432why did the Inderwick family regard it as a fetish?
56432why did the Inderwick family regard it as a fetish?
56432you''re her, are y''?"
6159A man or a woman?
6159Across the street?
6159Always in her own house?
6159American? 6159 An oldish woman?"
6159And Mrs. Schuyler, what is she?
6159And can you?
6159And heard nobody?
6159And her servants? 6159 And if I am?"
6159And she lives near here? 6159 And the knife?"
6159And there are no other servants?
6159And there are no servants here but the maid Julie?
6159And this talk about your lying? 6159 And what is your job just now?"
6159And you have found empty jampots?
6159And you never heard of this Miss Van Allen? 6159 And you saw no other person near?"
6159Are Miss Van Allen''s guests inclined to be riotous?
6159Are n''t the police keeping guard on the house?
6159Are they together?
6159Are you his valet?
6159Are you sure?
6159But do n''t you know anything special? 6159 But do n''t you like it better than Cream de mint or Benediction?"
6159But has n''t she a right to spend her own money as she likes?
6159But if Fleming Stone is on your trail, will you come for the book?
6159But if they ca n''t find Miss Van Allen, how can they indict her? 6159 But that night you were here?"
6159But, Mr. Calhoun, did you know that Miss Van Allen always writes with her left hand?
6159But, you know I must remain in hiding--"I thought you were going to leave New York?
6159By cheque?
6159By the area door?
6159By whom could she possibly, or theoretically, he thus held?
6159Ca n''t I go, Chess?
6159Ca n''t I go?
6159Ca n''t you get it back for me?
6159Can it not be,I heard a soft voice behind me say,"can it not yet be there is some mistake?
6159Can this be true?
6159Can you suspect Miss Van Allen of this crime?
6159Could n''t you get in?
6159Did she herself observe these stains?
6159Did she tell you so?
6159Did you ask the caterer''s people if they took it by mistake?
6159Did you ever trace that picture in Mr. Schuyler''s watch?
6159Did you know any Somers?
6159Did you know-- the real man?
6159Did you like him?
6159Did you see anyone else?
6159Do n''t you know what has happened?
6159Do n''t you think I may? 6159 Do the Schuyler ladies still object?"
6159Do you believe that?
6159Do you call her Ruth?
6159Do you often feel thus about the beginning of a case?
6159Do you want to?
6159Doctor Remson, will you come?
6159Does Mrs. Schuyler want one?
6159Does she ever play for prizes? 6159 English?"
6159Fibsy who?
6159Find Steele; find Miss Van Allen; find the maid, what''s her name-- Julia?
6159Fringe?
6159Front ones?
6159Go on-- came here with whom? 6159 Going to work on Sunday, Winnie?"
6159Good looker?
6159Got what?
6159Has n''t she a right to?
6159Have n''t you been in and out of the dining- room all evening?
6159Have you accepted a proposal from a nice college lad?
6159Have you had a wireless from the fugitive?
6159Have you learned anything further?
6159Have you learned anything illuminating?
6159Her birthday? 6159 Hey?
6159How can he?
6159How could Miss Van Allen get that knife of yours?
6159How could she know that?
6159How could you see the stairs from the living- room?
6159How did you come to suspect Tibbetts?
6159How did you guess?
6159How do you come in and go out of this house without being seen?
6159How do you know I have n''t revealed all I know of the case?
6159How do you know she did all that?
6159How do you know, have you been there?
6159How do you know?
6159How does Mr. Stone know when you''re telling the truth, then?
6159How long have you worked for Miss Van Allen?
6159How shall I get your letters?
6159How shall we tell her, Jepson?
6159How will Mrs. Schuyler bear it?
6159How''d he happen to come? 6159 How?"
6159How?
6159However could you hear that?
6159I saw that Tibbetts had false teeth, anyway, an''I says, why ca n''t Julie''s gold teeth be false, too? 6159 If it is, how can you believe what I tell you?"
6159If she came in here as Ruth Schuyler why was n''t she seen?
6159If we believe him at all, why should n''t we believe the whole tale? 6159 In appearance, you mean?"
6159In what respects?
6159Is he all right?
6159Is his wife at home?
6159Is it really misery with you?
6159Is she guilty?
6159Is she, Winnie?
6159Is she-- is-- what does she look like?
6159Is that correct and proper?
6159Is this the place?
6159It was not in an envelope--"Then how did it reach my husband?
6159Look here, child, what do you think I am? 6159 Look here,"said Fenn, bluntly,"is that your knife sticking in him?
6159Low- necked, and all that? 6159 Mason, will you go?"
6159May n''t we open the doors to the dining room, Vicky?
6159Meantime, what becomes of the house?
6159Might he not have been mistaken in the identity of the woman?
6159Miss Van Allen is one of your regular customers?
6159More fun than the original program?
6159Next Monday? 6159 No housekeeper or maid?"
6159No ragtime, I s''pose?
6159No servants? 6159 No, of course not, Winnie?"
6159Nor I,agreed Win, as Aunt Lucy asked,"Is she pretty?"
6159Now, Mr. Calhoun, what is there to be discussed in a business way? 6159 Now, we''ve got this dress, and what of it?
6159Oh, Chessy,cried my sister, as soon as Bemis had gone,"it''s awful, I know, but_ is n''t_ it exciting?"
6159Oh, ca n''t you?
6159Oh, how?
6159Oh, what shall we do?
6159Oh, will you, really?
6159Please, may n''t I join your little class, if I''ll be very good?
6159Prints?
6159Queer, how?
6159Really? 6159 Shall I wash thim dishes now, mum?"
6159Shall we offer a reward, Mr. Stone, for the discovery of the hiding place of Miss Van Allen?
6159She engages you when you are needed?
6159She has her keys, of course?
6159She knows you''re my sister?
6159Some of the servants ill?
6159Spectacles or nose- riders?
6159Sure there''s nobody upstairs?
6159Sure? 6159 Tell me, Stone,"I begged,"what is it?
6159Tell me,I blurted out,"who did kill Randolph Schuyler?"
6159Tell us again, Luigi,asked Lowney,"just where did the lady seem to go, when you saw her leave this room?"
6159The kitchen is back of this?
6159The master dead? 6159 Then why would she have Randolph Schuyler visiting her?"
6159Then you do believe in me? 6159 Then you think she left the knife here that night, and has since returned and taken it away?"
6159Then you''re depending on luck?
6159Then-- what is your name?
6159They are all in bed?
6159Was there much said about-- about the actual case-- Winnie?
6159Wears black?
6159Well, then, how''s this? 6159 Well, what does that imply?
6159Were-- were there many people there-- last night?
6159What can you men tell us? 6159 What changed your mind, especially?"
6159What club does he belong to?
6159What did she wear the night of the crime?
6159What did you see?
6159What do you know of this?
6159What do you mean, of some sort?
6159What do you mean? 6159 What do you mean?
6159What do you want?
6159What does Miss Van Allen look like?
6159What does she mean?
6159What does, Chet? 6159 What has happened to Randolph?"
6159What has happened?
6159What is her occupation?
6159What is it?
6159What is it?
6159What is its use?
6159What other servants does Miss Van Allen employ?
6159What part of her gown?
6159What''s a millionaire more or less to me?
6159What''s her work like?
6159What''s his name?
6159What''s she look like?
6159What''s this? 6159 What''s this?"
6159What''s up, Infant?
6159What''s up?
6159What''s wanted?
6159What? 6159 When did they tell you to come here to- day?"
6159When did you see this woman, this Julie, last?
6159When does the Crowell lady come into her own?
6159When will they bring my husband home?
6159Where are the house servants?
6159Where are the servants? 6159 Where are you-- I mean, where are you staying?"
6159Where did Miss Van Allen go on her frequent absences from her home?
6159Where did she go?
6159Where does she get it?
6159Where does she visit?
6159Where is Miss Van Allen? 6159 Where is Miss Van Allen?"
6159Where is she?
6159Where shall I address you?
6159Where shall we look first?
6159Where was Julie then?
6159Where you been?
6159Where''d she go?
6159Where''s the housekeeper?
6159Where?
6159Where_ is_ Vicky? 6159 Who are you?
6159Who are you?
6159Who does?
6159Who else is in the family? 6159 Who is Miss Van Allen?"
6159Who is Miss Van Allen?
6159Who is in the house where Mr. Schuyler was-- where he died?
6159Who''s this Somers?
6159Why did he go there, then?
6159Why did she do that?
6159Why do you feel such a kindly interest in the lady?
6159Why do you think that?
6159Why do you want to keep the key?
6159Why does n''t Mrs. Schuyler want him?
6159Why has n''t she?
6159Why not, Ruth? 6159 Why should anyone kill Mr. Somers?
6159Why was he talking of your birthday? 6159 Why, how can I help it?"
6159Will there be an inquest, and all that?
6159Yes, but ca n''t you give Vicky the benefit of the doubt? 6159 You are sure this is from Miss Van Allen?"
6159You clean the rooms upstairs, sometimes?
6159You here, Mr. Fenn? 6159 You mean about the murder?"
6159You mean, if there were some intruder, it may have been a woman, and not a man?
6159You provide everything?
6159You think they had never met before?
6159You''re still here?
6159You''ve known him long?
6159You''ve never been here before?
6159Your favorite cordial, Terence?
6159''Member how she begged Randolph to do up her boodore in wicker an''pink silk?''
6159A girl, in elaborate evening gown, clambering out of a skylight trap- door, to where?
6159A magician?"
6159A man you do n''t know?"
6159Ai n''t you?"
6159Alone, at midnight, in that gorgeous gown, no hat or wrap--""How do you know that?"
6159Am I a nuisance?"
6159An''I got you, did n''t I?"
6159An''why do n''t you go for a long motor; ride up Westchester way?
6159And anyway, what mattered it how she had left the house?
6159And if so, why?
6159And now, Madame, will you not go to rest?
6159And now, Mr. Calhoun, will you go, please, or do you intend to turn me over to the police?"
6159And tell me-- are you alone or is Julie with you?"
6159And where is Miss Van Allen herself?"
6159And will you gimme her address?"
6159And, in return, Mr. Calhoun, I''m going to ask you if you do n''t think, that all things considered, you ought to tell me what you are keeping back?
6159And, too, how could she, in that dress?
6159And, too, how did you know they thought of getting him?"
6159Anything that would pick her out from a lot of other good servants?"
6159Apoplexy?"
6159Are any of the other servants about?"
6159Are they not?"
6159Are you any good at getting theatre boxes after they''re all sold?"
6159Are you sure this is Randolph Schuyler?"
6159As the case is now in my hands, you will not object?"
6159At last, he said,"And, why, then, Mr. Garrison, in your opinion has Miss Van Allen disappeared?"
6159Black hair, and bright, fresh coloring--""How was she dressed?
6159Bradbury?"
6159But I only said,"You are, then, Mr. Stone''s right- hand man?"
6159But I''ll try, I''ll try every way I can, and, if I succeed-- how shall I let you know?"
6159But ca n''t I see you-- somewhere-- and we can talk plainly?"
6159But may he not have been mistaken?
6159But, go on, what else did Steele say?"
6159Ca n''t we buy her off?
6159Ca n''t we do anything for him?"
6159Ca n''t you chirrup?"
6159Ca n''t you trace her that way?"
6159Calhoun?"
6159Calhoun?"
6159Calhoun?"
6159Calhoun?"
6159Calhoun?"
6159Calhoun?"
6159Can I go to it?"
6159Can I take any message regarding the funeral arrangements?"
6159Can anyone go in it who likes?"
6159Can there, Terence?"
6159Can they find that woman?"
6159Can you do this?"
6159Can you get her on the telephone?"
6159Candles, flowers, decorations-- all""And she pays her bills?"
6159Cassie, you give me your place, wo n''t you, Ducky- Daddles?
6159Children?"
6159Could a girl of such cultivated tastes and such refinement of character be a-- a wrong- doer?
6159Could she escape?
6159Could she have been so clearly in my mind, that I visualized her in a moment of clairvoyance?
6159Did I want to do this?
6159Did I want to shield a felon?
6159Did n''t any rolls come, or milk, you know?"
6159Did n''t he try to kill you?"
6159Did the caterer''s people do it?
6159Did the caterers take it away by mistake?"
6159Did the detective take it?"
6159Did you get Steele, Mason?"
6159Did you kill this man?"
6159Did you know the expected guest was coming under an assumed name?"
6159Do help me to avoid it, wo n''t you?"
6159Do n''t let them engage that Mr. Stone, to hunt me down, will you?"
6159Do n''t you remember, Sarah, she wanted Randolph to do up her dressing- room in wicker?"
6159Do n''t you see it all?
6159Do n''t you, Mrs Reeves?"
6159Do you hold me blameless?"
6159Do you know?"
6159Do you suppose she knows about this?
6159Do you think Vicky will come back?"
6159Do you wish any one else to go-- from the house?"
6159Do you wish any ready cash?
6159Does nobody know anything of this man, but his name?"
6159Does she own this house?"
6159Does she think Vicky Van killed Mr. Schuyler?
6159Fibsy, where is it?"
6159Friend of Miss Van Allen?"
6159Giddy clothes?"
6159Go, and do n''t look back to see how I make my exit, will you?"
6159Had he then, touched her inadvertently?
6159Had she killed this millionaire?
6159Have you any theory, Mr. Calhoun?
6159He''s a club man, you say?"
6159House servants?"
6159How can we get along without him?"
6159How could Mrs. Randolph Schuyler, a well- known society lady, live a double life and enact Miss Van Allen, a gay butterfly girl?
6159How could he know that Vicky had done this very thing?
6159How could she get from one house to the other unobserved?
6159How could she hoodwink her husband, her sisters- in- law, and her friends?
6159How could she think anything else?
6159How could they have found shelter, save in some friend''s house?
6159How could you think of it?
6159How did you persuade Aunt Lucy to agree?"
6159How often do you come here?
6159How old was she?"
6159How shall I let you know?"
6159How well did you know this-- this person?"
6159How''d she know it, I say?"
6159I ask you, may it not be some one else?
6159I cried,"how can you say such a thing?
6159I dare say that is so, but how on earth could_ two_ women get out of this house without its being known?"
6159I demanded,"and what are you doing here?"
6159I did n''t want her to kill herself-- I did n''t want her to be found and arrested-- what did I want?
6159I have no interest in Randolph Schuyler''s widow, except as she affects my future, but can you do anything by working in the other direction?
6159I mean can you dissuade Fleming Stone from coming, by asking him not to?
6159I mean, is it one belonging to Fraschini''s service?
6159I repeated;"how could she manage?"
6159I saw stains of blood on her gown--""Where?"
6159I waited some time for a response, but at last I heard Vicky''s voice say,"Who is it, please?"
6159I want you to help me, will you?"
6159I''ll see Fraschini''s head man to- morrow-- or, I suppose it''s to- morrow now-- hello, who''s that?"
6159I''ve attended studio parties where she was present--""Oh, Bohemian affairs?"
6159If she is innocent, why not?"
6159In the Fifth Avenue house as Ruth Schuyler?
6159Is she a young thing?"
6159Is she quick and spry- like, or poky?"
6159Is that one of the old sisters?"
6159Is that satisfactory?"
6159Is that straight goods?"
6159Is there a skylight exit?"
6159Is there one here?"
6159Is this the way she went?"
6159Jewels?"
6159Just down the side street?
6159Killed?"
6159Kin I, Mr. Stone?
6159Lowney?
6159Mason, have you found out anything?"
6159May I?
6159Might you not defeat your own purpose?
6159Miss Weldon?
6159Mr. Lowney succeeded in getting Mr. Steele on the long distance telephone--""Why, where is Steele?"
6159My heart goes twirly- whirly When I see my pearlie girlie, With her--"Now, what is that next line?
6159Never was in her house before?"
6159Now you do all you can, wo n''t you?"
6159Now, Jepson, had your master any enemies, that you know of?"
6159Now, Miss Vicky Van likes good readin'', you can see from her books an''all, so why do n''t she take Harper''s an''Century?
6159Now, Mr. Calhoun, if you do n''t mind, will you give me a line on that maid person, that Julia?"
6159Now, are we working together?"
6159Now, where is that knife?
6159Now, will you do me one last favor?
6159Of course, Miss Crowell is experienced?"
6159Of course, the police will do all they can, meantime, to trace her?"
6159Oh, Mr. Stone, what are we going to do?"
6159Or shall we look after any money matters?"
6159Or, had she sent the letters to be mailed by some one else?
6159Ought I to bring on them any shadow of trouble or opprobrium that might result from my presence in that house at that time?
6159Over on the West side, say, among the artist lady''s studio gang?"
6159Perhaps by a back staircase, or could she manage to elude us and slip away somehow?
6159Please do n''t spy on me, will you, Chester?"
6159Rhoda sniffed and Sarah acidly remarked:"How can you, Ruth?
6159Say, kinni?"
6159Schuyler?"
6159Schuyler?"
6159Schuyler?"
6159Schuyler?"
6159Schuyler?"
6159Schuyler?"
6159Schuyler?"
6159Schuyler?"
6159See?"
6159See?"
6159See?"
6159Shall I go and see?"
6159Shall I go to him?"
6159Shall I send her round to see you to- morrow?"
6159Shall I send her there to- day?"
6159Shall I tell you my story?"
6159Shall I?"
6159Shall we say a week from to- night?"
6159Shall we?"
6159She may return--""To a house guarded by police?"
6159She refuses to believe that Vicky Van--""What do you call her?"
6159She seemed so alone-- and yet-- how did I know?
6159She wears glasses--""What sort?"
6159Should I wait for a short time, or go back home and return again later?
6159Since she stabbed her victim with another knife-- why in the world hide this one up here?
6159So, why should she keep permanent servants if she was at home only half the time?
6159Some errand of trust, some matter of confidence--""Do you mean it?
6159Somers?"
6159Steele had gone home, ought I to implicate him?
6159Steele?"
6159Stone?"
6159Stone?"
6159Sure enough, where was Steele?
6159The eternal feminine wanted to ask"is she pretty?"
6159The police will let you in at any time?"
6159Then the waiter''s story?
6159Then will you get the letters and put them-- where shall I say?"
6159This ai n''t no orficial investigation, but I s''pose you''re as intrusted as anybody in findin''this here Victoria Van Allen?"
6159Upstairs?"
6159Was I afraid the girl would be caught?
6159Was I conniving at the escape of a guilty person?
6159Was Mr. Schuyler as a man of the world, different from his life in this house?"
6159Was anybody?
6159Was n''t it?
6159Was she giving herself up, or what?
6159Was she good- looking?"
6159Was she safe?
6159Was she, then, even now in hiding near her home?
6159Was the man a clairvoyant?
6159What about the prints?"
6159What ailed the boy?
6159What are you going to do-- to find out things, I mean?"
6159What can you do about it?"
6159What could happen but her arrest and trial?
6159What could it all mean?
6159What could it be?
6159What date does the letter bear?"
6159What did it mean?
6159What did they show of the whereabouts of the missing girl?
6159What do they say?"
6159What do you know of Miss Van Allen?"
6159What do you make of it?"
6159What do you mean?"
6159What had become of her?
6159What has upset him so?"
6159What is it, Tibbetts?"
6159What is it?"
6159What is it?"
6159What is your opinion, Mr. Calhoun?
6159What more evidence do you need?
6159What say, Fibsy?"
6159What was the mystery back of it all?
6159What would become of that bijou residence?
6159What''s doing?"
6159What''s the surprise for supper?
6159What''s wrong here?"
6159What?"
6159Whatever Ruth Schuyler may have done, she was amply justified---""Even in killing him?"
6159When will it be there?"
6159When will that be, Chess?
6159Where can she be?
6159Where could that girl have gone?
6159Where does she go?
6159Where is Miss Van Allen?"
6159Where is Vicky?
6159Where is he?
6159Where is it, Ferrall?"
6159Where is the lady of the house?"
6159Where was she now?
6159Where was she?
6159Where would she be likely to go?"
6159Where''d Vicky pick him up?"
6159Where''s Miss Van Allen?"
6159Where''s Norman Steele?
6159Where''s that girl?
6159Where''s the man who brought this Somers here?"
6159Where''s the theatre?
6159Where--_where_, I say, would she siccrete it?"
6159Where?
6159Which is chief?"
6159Who among Miss Van Allen''s friends is an artist?"
6159Who are you all?
6159Who did it?"
6159Who here knows Miss Van Allen the most intimately?"
6159Who is he?"
6159Who is in charge here?"
6159Who is this lady?"
6159Who is this man?
6159Who is your friend?"
6159Who killed him?"
6159Who killed him?"
6159Who says that man is my husband?"
6159Who''s going?"
6159Who''s the man?"
6159Who_ is_ she?"
6159Why ca n''t the whole affair be hushed up?
6159Why did Miss Van Allen run away?"
6159Why did n''t people see her leaving one house and entering the other?
6159Why did she kill him?"
6159Why did you ever get into that set?"
6159Why should he be at a house where people called him by a name not his own?"
6159Why should n''t two women like_ Eau de vie de Dantzic_ as a liqueur?
6159Why should she kill a man she never had seen before?"
6159Why should she kill my husband?
6159Why should those grand ladies allow a boy of your age at their dinner- table?"
6159Why the grouch, old man?
6159Why was Vicky in there and why would n''t she let me come in?
6159Why was n''t she missed from one house when she was in the other?"
6159Why would he come here?"
6159Why would n''t her servants know of it, even if her family did n''t?
6159Why, her bills must be paid, her household effects looked after; is she in a house or an apartment?"
6159Will it be in the papers?"
6159Will you?"
6159With her--?"
6159Wo n''t you?"
6159Would it do for me to go to some quiet hotel for a while?
6159Would it not be better to go while I could do so?
6159Would she ever so do?
6159Would we know it if she did?
6159You are not implicated in the-- in the matter, are you?"
6159You can get into this house, ca n''t you?
6159You do n''t mind my going, do you, Ruth?"
6159You do n''t think they''re still concealed in the house?"
6159You know you wrote to Ruth Schuyler--""Ruth?
6159You''ll go, Ruth?"
6159exclaimed Vicky Van herself, dancing toward me,"did he come to see his little ole friend?"
6159he said, looking at Ruth commiseratingly,"ai n''t you never heard''The Jitney Girl''or''The Prince of Peoria''?"
6159said Fibsy contemptuously,"why did''n''youse tell me before that you had the claw prints?
6159said Stone, curiously,"do women wear fringe nowadays?"
6159sniffed Miss Rhoda,"an actress?"
9664A cop? 9664 A pleasant dinner last night, I trust?"
9664All right? 9664 Am I engaged to him or anything?"
9664And leave daddy to face the music alone?
9664And now,I remarked, smiling,"you are perhaps coming to the object of your visit to me?"
9664And the forged banknotes made by the young man in the Adelphi?
9664And the man?
9664And the two thousand pounds at the gaming club-- that first night?
9664And we''ll give daddy a good time whenever we can?
9664And write a confession of your misdemeanor, sir?
9664And you,Mr. Bundercombe murmured,"have the necklace?"
9664And you?
9664And, Paul, had n''t you better drop dad a hint that Mrs. Bundercombe will be home to- morrow? 9664 Ansell?
9664Any clew at all?
9664Anything about them?
9664Anything else against him?
9664Anything particular on this afternoon, Walmsley? 9664 Are n''t they coming back?"
9664Are n''t you glad now, Paul, dear, that we brought father down to keep him out of mischief?
9664Are n''t you going to give information?
9664Are those fellows I saw you with this morning at the Milan in it? 9664 Are those real pearls she is wearing?"
9664Are you a millionaire?
9664Are you making any definite charges against this young lady and gentleman?
9664Are you sure?
9664Are you very busy this morning?
9664At least,Reggie insisted,"will you tell me this: Where have they been staying in London?
9664Bundercombe or Parker?
9664But, Mr. Bundercombe,I asked seriously,"what have you to say in reply to Captain Bannister''s statement?"
9664By the by, I suppose you could n''t tell me your address? 9664 By the by, as regards that packet; would you mind just slipping it under this newspaper?"
9664By the by, might I ask how you know my name?
9664By the by,I asked,"what is Mr. Cullen''s profession?"
9664Can I borrow Miss Eve, please? 9664 Can we drop you anywhere, Paul?"
9664Change my what?
9664Come to see me off, eh?
9664Could I have just one word with you, Lord Porthoning?
9664Could we have a couple of waiters in and search properly, Paul? 9664 Could you drop a word to the gentleman, sir?
9664Daddy,she murmured plaintively,"why will you run such risks?
9664Did any one else besides yourself,I inquired,"observe this alleged irregularity?"
9664Did they leave any address?
9664Did you say Stephano''s, or what do you think of one of these places closer at hand? 9664 Did you see that?"
9664Did you think_ you_ were the only person who could leave the opera house in a hurry?
9664Did you-- er-- remind Mr. Bundercombe of this?
9664Do n''t you think you could prevail on her?
9664Do you know I am thinking of starting in business for myself?
9664Do you know this gentleman?
9664Do you mean the young man who was getting out of the taxicab?
9664Do you mean to keep this up?
9664Do you mean to tell me,he said, addressing Captain Bannister,"that both that young jay Dimsdale and Mrs. Delaporte saw me pass up that ace?"
9664Do you mind, Walmsley, having my plate kept warm and reminding the man that I ordered asparagus to follow?
9664Do you notice, Paul,she asked,"how much less we see of dad lately?"
9664Do you think he saw me?
9664Does n''t the man, as a rule, wait to be quite sure he is engaged?
9664Eve''s been setting you on to pump me, eh?
9664Eve,I asked,"how about Mrs. Samuelson''s jewels?"
9664Eve,I said,"when are you going to let me announce our engagement?"
9664Even in joke it is n''t exactly wise, is it, with people passing all the time?
9664Gone already?
9664Gone?
9664Got me on toast, have n''t they, Paul?
9664Has dad been up to anything, Paul?
9664Has he got a restaurant of his own?
9664Have n''t you an appointment to- night, father?
9664Have they caught the fellow?
9664Have you been talking to Mr. Ansell like this?
9664Have you communicated with the police?
9664Have you got an agent over here?
9664Have you offered a reward yet?
9664He is one for the gab, ai n''t he?
9664He means lagged, do n''t he?
9664He shot him, I suppose?
9664How are you, Eve?
9664How are you, Walmsley?
9664How are you?
9664How do you know that he did n''t get rid of them to some one in either the Cecil or the Savoy?
9664How do you know,I asked,"that my life has been well- ordered?"
9664How far away did you say your place was, Paul?
9664How is Miss Parker this morning?
9664How long does the voting go on?
9664How long has this been going on?
9664How long have you been in England?
9664How much more if I call you a lying, card- sharping swindler?
9664How much should we make?
9664How much was it, father?
9664How much?
9664I am not far from the mark, am I?
9664I do that-- do I?
9664I presume,I said,"that Mademoiselle Blanche, of Bond Street, is identical with the young lady who talked to us at Stephano''s the other night?"
9664I suppose I shall find Eve in?
9664If they break the law,I inquired,"why do you not arrest them?"
9664If you were content, Captain Bannister,I inquired,"to let the matter drop a few months ago, why are you here now?"
9664If you''re not a cop and you wo n''t stand in, what in the name of glory are you?
9664In business?
9664In what way?
9664In what way?
9664Irrespective of the law?
9664Irrespective of your sense of right and wrong?
9664Is Mr. Bundercombe really the manufacturer of that machine?
9664Is it a share of the swag you''re after?
9664Is n''t everything a question of money? 9664 Is n''t that a little trying for you?"
9664Is n''t the check of Joseph H. Bundercombe good enough for you?
9664Is that you, Walmsley?
9664Is the young lady upstairs?
9664Is this a jest?
9664Is this young gentleman known to you, Miss Blanche?
9664Is what you are telling me the truth?
9664Is your father really enjoying this?
9664Is your memory failing you, Joseph Henry? 9664 It gives me a better chance-- doesn''t it?"
9664Just play the part of assistant audience and stick this into your pocket, will you?
9664Kind of connection, is n''t he?
9664Kind of observant, are n''t you?
9664Look here, Paul,he said,"is it too late to change your ticket?"
9664Look here,I said,"is your name Bundercombe?"
9664Look much better on Eve when they''ve been re- strung, wo n''t they?
9664Lost anything, Lady Enterdean?
9664May I know something of this evening''s program?
9664May I not judge for myself?
9664Might one inquire,I asked, after a brief pause,"as to your own profession?
9664Mr. Paul Walmsley?
9664Mr. Walmsley, I believe?
9664Mr. Walmsley, sir,he said,"can you tell me anything about Mr. Parker and his daughter?"
9664My dear Paul,she laughed,"why not?
9664My dear?
9664My what?
9664No gambling hells in London, eh? 9664 No questions asked?"
9664Now what in the name of all that''s reasonable,he began in his hard, rasping voice,"made you bring me in here?
9664Or what do you say to Jules''or the Milan grill- room?
9664Or would you like to give us some supper?
9664Our what?
9664Paul,he said, dropping his voice to a whisper,"do n''t you think it''s up to us to give a disagreeable little worm like that a bit of a lesson, eh?
9664Paul,she whispered in my ear,"is it true that the inspector who had her followed all that morning was a friend of dad''s?"
9664Perhaps you''ve been reading about that affair at my house last night?
9664Postpone it?
9664Quite the Gibson type of girl, is n''t she?
9664Say, Cullen,he remonstrated,"do n''t you think you''re carrying this a bit too far, you know?
9664Say, Paul,Mr. Bundercombe expostulated,"you did n''t really think I was parting with four thousand pounds to a sloppy gang like that, did you?
9664Say, do I understand you rightly?
9664Say, is that Captain Bannister I am speaking to?
9664Say, just what do you mean by that?
9664Say,he asked, a little diffidently,"would you people object to just dropping in at this Giatron''s?
9664Say,he inquired, scratching the side of his chin,"have you any objection to a bit of a scrap?"
9664Shall I send for stalls at the Alhambra?
9664So I''ve got you at last, have I? 9664 So that is Monsieur Giatron?"
9664So this is your silly old fool, is it?
9664Some one you want to speak to, Paul?
9664Spoil the whole show?
9664Still in London?
9664Sure you wo n''t have some coffee?
9664Talk to them in a plain, straightforward way, eh?
9664Tell me why you did not come to me or write, Louis?
9664Tell me, Miss Parker-- was he absolutely honest when he told me he was an adventurer?
9664Tell me,I whispered,"have you really any plans for to- night?"
9664The Carlton? 9664 The thing is,"he remarked,"are your friends Mr. and Miss Bundercombe at all?"
9664The what club?
9664Then what about our friend Stanley?
9664Then what are you going to do about it?
9664Then what is it you want?
9664Then will you take Mr. Walmsley back to his place?
9664There is another way out?
9664There is n''t any one in America, is there?
9664These people do n''t seem as though they had all that money to gamble with, do they? 9664 This gentleman is a friend of yours?"
9664This is not a professional visit, I trust?
9664This is the old fool you could twist round your finger, who found the money for your manicure parlor, and who was in love with you, eh? 9664 To a certain extent I suppose you are joking?"
9664To hold whom?
9664Trouble?
9664Was I, then, an accomplice in anything illegal to- night?
9664Was the note bad? 9664 Was there any trouble?"
9664We could afford to let Mr. Bundercombe come in a little way with us, I think?
9664We meet tonight?
9664Well, it''s one way of making a living, is n''t it?
9664Well, my boy, so you''re hooked at last, are you?
9664Well, what about him?
9664Well, what is it?
9664Well, you were going to make daddy an allowance, were n''t you?
9664Well,she asked,"is your conscience beginning to prick yet?"
9664Well?
9664Were you-- er-- alone?
9664What about Eve?
9664What about a music hall afterward?
9664What about a music hall?
9664What about it? 9664 What about the one you have on?"
9664What about them?
9664What about-- What is it, Eve? 9664 What amount are you prepared to go to?"
9664What are you going to do about it?
9664What are your daughter''s initials?
9664What do you mean, sir?
9664What do you need me for, then?
9664What does this mean?
9664What has Mr. Bundercombe been up to now?
9664What has gone wrong? 9664 What have you been doing?"
9664What have you got there?
9664What is the meaning of this, Lord Porthoning?
9664What is your name?
9664What might your line be, guvnor?
9664What of it?
9664What on earth is it all about?
9664What reward do you offer?
9664What scheme of villainy is before us to- night? 9664 What sort of a game is this?"
9664What story is this you are telling me?
9664What''s all this mean?
9664What''s that for?
9664What''s the good? 9664 What''s the program?"
9664What''s worrying him?
9664What''s wrong?
9664What''s your platform, anyway?
9664Where are the police?
9664Where are they?
9664Where are you spending most of your time?
9664Where are you?
9664Where can we drop you?
9664Where did you come across them again?
9664Where have you been?
9664Where is Louis?
9664Where is the necklace?
9664Where is your bank?
9664Where shall I tell him to go to, sir?
9664Where to?
9664Where''s my necklace, please?
9664Where, and what as?
9664Who is Mr. Cullen and what does he want?
9664Who is this friend of yours and why should we go anywhere with him?
9664Who is this person?
9664Who said the police?
9664Who''ll have a short one with me before we feed?
9664Who''s ahead?
9664Who''s the wizened- up little insect, with a snarl on his face?
9664Why ca n''t I go to the opera with you?
9664Why ca n''t the silly woman look after her jewels?
9664Why do n''t you go for the other side a bit more?
9664Why do n''t you keep to the Ritz or the Berkeley? 9664 Why do we concern ourselves in the matter at all?"
9664Why not? 9664 Why not?"
9664Why on earth Bundercombe?
9664Why should I?
9664Why was I not told?
9664Why?
9664Why?
9664Will you come in with me?
9664Will you come round here for me at a quarter to eleven?
9664Will you please tell me what it is?
9664Will you please,she said,"direct me to a tea- shop?"
9664Will you sit down?
9664With the Countess of Aynesley?
9664Worth going for, ai n''t I?
9664Wotcher want?
9664Would you give me a napkin quickly?
9664Wrong? 9664 You are leaving us for a few days?"
9664You are not going to let her run any more risks, are you?
9664You are not going to tell me, are you,she added, looking at me with wide- open eyes,"that I have accepted you?"
9664You come here often, do n''t you?
9664You could n''t put it off, I suppose?
9664You do n''t mind?
9664You know I never encouraged you-- did I, Reggie?''
9664You love music?
9664You mean Mr. and Miss Parker?
9664You mean to say that, after all we went through because of that miserable necklace, you''ve gone and chucked it? 9664 You mean to say you have sent it back?"
9664You recognize the fact, however, that the note is beyond question counterfeit?
9664You remember Lord Reggie Sidley?
9664You will have some coffee?
9664You will not object to my accompanying you?
9664You would like to play?
9664You''ll come down with me, then,I begged,"both of you?
9664You''ll take the chair?
9664You''re not associating these people, whoever they may be, with Mr. and Miss Bundercombe?
9664You''re not going too far, are you?
9664You''ve no clew at all as to what he does with himself?
9664You''ve no other partner?
9664You''ve thought over what I said? 9664 And dear Reggie-- did he arrive?
9664And if I take a box for the Tivoli presently, shall we have the pleasure of seeing you bob in upon us?"
9664Are we to be allowed to finish our dinner in peace or will you be turning up again with a new idea?
9664Are you going to take me out motoring all day?
9664Are you going to the theater?"
9664At eight o''clock?"
9664Been here a long time, had''nt he?"
9664Berkeley?"
9664Bundercombe?"
9664Bundercombe?"
9664Bundercombe?"
9664Bundercombe?"
9664Bundercombe?"
9664Bundercombe?"
9664But about the jewels?"
9664But for his help, who knows that I might not have found myself up against it?
9664But say, is there anywhere on the face of this earth such a miserable, addle- headed lunatic as that man whom it''s my misfortune to call my husband?"
9664But there is just one difficulty about this searching business: How can you identify your notes?
9664By the by, do you know a chap called Jonas-- Henry Jonas, of Milton Farm?"
9664By the by, where did you meet them?"
9664By the by,"he added, lowering his voice,"did you see those two fellows I was with?"
9664Can you manage it?"
9664Claridge''s?
9664Could n''t you make an excuse and slip away?"
9664Could you set me down there?"
9664Cullen?"
9664Cullen?"
9664Did n''t I have the pleasure of meeting him at your house?"
9664Did you notice the one with the cast in his eye?"
9664Did you or did you not arrange to accompany me this morning to a meeting at the offices of the Women''s Social Federation?"
9664Did you think about it while you were playing?"
9664Did you think about this when you went into the game?
9664Do tell me what you have been talking about-- you two men-- all the evening?"
9664Do you know I''ve had to desert my post as president of the Great Amalgamated Meeting of the Free Women of the West to come and look after you two?
9664Do you know it was worth twenty- five thousand pounds?"
9664Do you know that you''re the laughing- stock of Okata?"
9664Do you mind?"
9664Do you think it''s quite playing the game on your friends to introduce to them two people like ourselves?
9664Good Heavens, is that the time?"
9664Had n''t you better drop this chivalrous scheme of yours, young fellow?"
9664Have you anything particular to do to- morrow?"
9664Have you dined, Eve?"
9664Have you mentioned it to her?"
9664How long have they been here?"
9664How much do you want?"
9664How will you have the reward, sir?"
9664I have n''t interrupted anything, have I-- any little celebration, or anything of that sort?"
9664I say, Paul, you''re sure it''s all right, I suppose?"
9664I think I am right in saying that we are not altogether strangers?"
9664If you have a few minutes to spare, Mr. Brown, would you please tell me just where you do n''t agree with Paul?
9664If you must marry an Englishman,"she continued with rising voice,"why do n''t you marry Lord Reginald Sidley there?
9664Is it your wish that the truth shall now be told?"
9664Is n''t it fun?"
9664Is this why you were trying to put up to me a few weeks ago?"
9664It is all very well for himself, but he has no right to expose you to-- to--""To what risk did he expose me?"
9664It was trying us a little too high, was n''t it?
9664My young friend, sip that wine thoughtfully-- don''t hurry over it-- and tell me whether my choice is not better than yours?"
9664None the worse for our little adventure last night, I hope?"
9664Nothing has happened""I have n''t interrupted anything, have I-- any little celebration, or anything of that sort?"
9664Now if you were Americans I should say to you:''What''s your rating?''
9664Now in my younger days-- Eh?
9664Now in what part of London shall we look for a gambling hell, Mr. Walmsley?
9664Now let me ask you this, young man,"he went on:"What is the most dangerous thing you''ve ever done?"
9664Now we''ve a little affair of our own-- what do you say, Densmore?"
9664Now where''s this Monsieur Giatron of yours?"
9664Or are you going to the dressmaker''s with me?
9664Or shall I?''
9664Or will you go off somewhere by yourselves and meet me afterward?"
9664Pancras?"
9664Parker?"
9664Parker?"
9664Paul, did you give us too much to drink, or what?"
9664Prince''s?
9664Ripping girl, is n''t she?"
9664Say, do you think those joshers can do anything?"
9664Say, what do you mean exactly?"
9664Stanley?"
9664That seemed fair enough, eh?"
9664The great topic now was one of ethics: Had I acted properly in not charging the waiter?
9664They had n''t any suspicions, I suppose, about those-- those little trifles?"
9664This is the night you promised to go with your mother to a lecture somewhere, is n''t it?"
9664Walmsley?"
9664Walmsley?"
9664Walmsley?"
9664Walmsley?"
9664Walmsley?"
9664Walmsley?"
9664Walmsley?"
9664Walmsley?"
9664Walmsley?"
9664What I want to know is just what you get out of it indirectly?
9664What are you, anyway?"
9664What did happen?"
9664What do you mean?"
9664What do you say, Paul?"
9664What do you say?"
9664What do you think of doing about it?"
9664What do you think of him, Eve?"
9664What has happened?"
9664What is it worth to you, and how much is there?"
9664What is it?"
9664What''s that?"
9664Where did we say we''d pick father up?"
9664Where does your political boss hang out?"
9664Where else could you see the same emotion actuating a number of very different people in an altogether different manner?"
9664Where else do you see it so developed?
9664Where is dad?"
9664Where shall I find you?"
9664Where''s the manager?"
9664Who are you?"
9664Who is it?"
9664Who''s he?"
9664Why are n''t we raided?"
9664Why are you going into Parliament?''
9664Why did n''t you let me know you were here?
9664Why mince words?"
9664Why this visit with a legal adviser, and both of you with faces as long as fiddles?"
9664Will this be agreeable to you?"
9664Will you join us?"
9664Will you not invite us into your little office and show us whether there is not something better to be found than this coffee?
9664Would you like to come and have tea with me?"
9664You are an American, are you not?"
9664You could n''t give me a hint, I suppose, Eve?"
9664You get the handling of so much patronage, I suppose?
9664You had n''t any strangers with you, I suppose?"
9664You have heard the news?"
9664You have n''t got it in your mind, have you, that you''re sort of putting us on our honor?"
9664You know the little house I mean?"
9664You know what they call the damned thing when women have it-- kleptomania, is n''t it?
9664You met Mrs. Bundercombe?
9664You remember her saying, for instance, that she would break every bottle of wine she found being served?"
9664You said to me:''Louis, you are sure that they are all quite gone?
9664You understand as much as that?"
9664You understand exactly why I have come to see you, eh?"
9664You understand?
9664You''ll join us, I trust?
9664You''re not obliged to interfere in the election at all, are you?"
9664You''ve got that apology all right?"
9664Your double is, I presume, well supplied with an alibi and evidences of respectability?"
9664she sighed,"Tell me, if I married you would all those people we met last night be nice to me?"
5901A New York train?
5901Ahem-- seat occupied?
5901Am I to understand that you connect ME in any way with this girl''s death, or that I am a friend to this Hubert Vander of whom you speak?
5901Among them an old woman?
5901An express robbery, you say?
5901And Dyke Darrel is now in Chicago?
5901And Dyke?
5901And Hubert''s friend?
5901And I sit with my hands folded meantime?
5901And at Bloomington I can take the cars for Burlington?
5901And do you imagine_ I_ am going to pay the bill?
5901And here I''ve been-- how long?
5901And his wife-- children?
5901And it makes you feel uneasy?
5901And now?
5901And put on a disguise?
5901And that Dyke Darrel is on the trail?
5901And that is why you are here?
5901And that?
5901And that?
5901And you deem me a most hardened scoundrel? 5901 And you did it?"
5901And you saw and talked with him?
5901And you were not in Black Hollow, last night?
5901And you will consent to act as this girl''s keeper for a time?
5901And you will not run into danger, for my sake?
5901And you?
5901Any passengers get on?
5901Are n''t you glad to see me, Madam?
5901Are n''t you glad to see me, Nell?
5901Are they together?
5901Are you a relative of Mr.---?
5901Are you alone?
5901Are you going to him soon?
5901Are you going to take passengers?
5901Are you stopping there?
5901Are you sure of it?
5901Are you sure?
5901As I like?
5901At what hour does the train pass?
5901Aye, but his name?
5901But how comes it that you are like this?
5901But if any one asked you, would you refuse?
5901But is it a photograph of your face?
5901But is there no way to escape?
5901But of what crime was the young man accused? 5901 But see here, how am I to know that you are a detective?
5901But suppose any danger should threaten you?
5901But the down train goes earlier?
5901But the man Jarima? 5901 But what can I do among all these fiends?"
5901But who could have done it?
5901But who is he? 5901 But who was the leader-- the instigator of the foul deed?"
5901But you will come to- morrow, will you not-- to tell me the result?
5901But, dear, what will your father say?
5901Can I be of any service? 5901 Can I go to Dyke?"
5901Can I help you, grandfather?
5901Can you bear it?
5901Can you control your hand?
5901Can you prove this?
5901Can you prove this?
5901Can you tell me,she began breathlessly to a sunburnt man standing near,"if there are any ships leaving here to- morrow?"
5901Can you walk, brother?
5901Company? 5901 Confound it, who are you?"
5901Could it be possible for you to set them free, without fear of detection?
5901Did I not so claim at the time?
5901Did any passengers get off here some hours since from the New York train east?
5901Did n''t I say so? 5901 Did she say anything?"
5901Did you find any one?
5901Did you find your man?
5901Did you hit him, Professor?
5901Did you know the murdered messenger, Dyke?
5901Did you recognize them?
5901Did you suspect this before now?
5901Diniz, is it really you? 5901 Do n''t it you?"
5901Do n''t it? 5901 Do n''t you accept what the dying Swart said as true?"
5901Do n''t you hear his step? 5901 Do you deny your guilt, scoundrel?"
5901Do you get off here?
5901Do you hear me, Sam?
5901Do you know that they took the New York train?
5901Do you know who sent the dispatch?
5901Do you mean this, father? 5901 Do you mean to say that Watson has been arrested?"
5901Do you not know her?
5901Do you realize your condition? 5901 Do you remember that night on the dock beside the river, Elliston?"
5901Do you suppose I have nothing to do but answer such nonsensical questions?
5901Do you think I could see him? 5901 Do you think my Hubert could write anything so cruel?"
5901Do you think she came to this vicinity on the cars?
5901Do you think so, Savitre? 5901 Do you think this is stolen?"
5901Does it? 5901 Dyke, what would you do?"
5901Dyke, you know that when I left Woodburg some months ago, I went from among you under a cloud?
5901Eh, it''s you, Ruggles?
5901Eh? 5901 Eh?
5901Eh? 5901 Eh?"
5901Eh?
5901Explain, Savitre-- Sampayo, what means this strange raving? 5901 Galien?
5901Got off? 5901 Harper Elliston, how dare you insult me in this way?
5901Harper, are you aware that the murdered messenger was my friend?
5901Has he said anything?
5901Have n''t they been here to- day?
5901Have n''t you forgotten something?
5901Have n''t you got into the wrong house?
5901Have n''t you met him?
5901Have you brought good news?
5901Have you formulated a plan?
5901Have you heard of the midnight express robbery?
5901Have you investigated?
5901Have you opened the satchel?
5901Have you seen my brother?
5901He is away most of his time, as you doubtless know----"And the girl is alone?
5901He is well?
5901He recognized you of course?
5901His name?
5901How about the Osborne case?
5901How are you, Dyke, old boy?
5901How can you act so dishonorably, papa?
5901How could I help but love you-- you who saved my life? 5901 How could you guess that?"
5901How did it happen?
5901How did it happen?
5901How did it happen?
5901How did this happen?
5901How do you feel, my man?
5901How do you find yourself this morning, my dear?
5901How do you know what she was worth, you miserable brute?
5901How does the land lay, Nat?
5901How far is that from here?
5901How is that?
5901How long will you keep her here?
5901Hubert Vander? 5901 I believe you are leaving India to- morrow?
5901I could have long ago taken a partner to share my life in my elegant home on Fifth avenue, but do you know the reason of my not doing so? 5901 I did not miss my guess when I called him Elliston?"
5901I might; but---"Well?
5901I steal? 5901 I was rescued, you say?
5901If necessary, of course; but what in the world is the matter, Dyke? 5901 If you knew it would do some one a great service?
5901In ten minutes? 5901 Indeed?"
5901Is it you who wish to go?
5901Is that the answer I am to give Tonza?
5901Is that your photograph?
5901Is this Miss Darrel?
5901Is this because you fear to trust me, after what has happened, Dyke?
5901It is you? 5901 It''s ther kid--""Watson?"
5901Jule, when did my sister answer this letter?
5901Last night?
5901Lianor, may I speak before Savitre?
5901Lianor, what does this farce mean? 5901 Madge, what charge was your nephew arrested under?"
5901Madge, where are Nick and Sam?
5901Martin?
5901May not this Vander and his friends conclude that the man- hunter perished in the flames, if they fail to see him again? 5901 Mike, where are you hit?"
5901Miss Nell? 5901 Mr. Elliston, did you come here to insult me?"
5901Must I call you coquette?
5901My child,drawing her nearer to him,"Luiz Falcam has asked your hand in marriage; what answer shall I give him?"
5901My cousin?
5901My dear Lianor,said her companion, a young man scarcely older than herself, and wonderfully like her,"what new idea, have you got now?"
5901My dearest child, what is the matter? 5901 Nell, is it you?"
5901Nell, what is it?
5901No-- why should I be glad?
5901No; a young gemmen----"A gentleman?
5901No?
5901No?
5901Now what?
5901Of what use a disguise that my friends all understood?
5901Old woman, do you mean to murder me here?
5901Only this morning, you say?
5901Perhaps; but was n''t there another coincidence that gave you reason to suspect me? 5901 Savitre,"Leone said suddenly,"would you be willing to leave your country-- to go with me to Portugal?"
5901See here, boss, are n''t you goin''on a bin run for nothin''? 5901 Senora,"he said politely, drawing from his breast the poignard,"can you tell me from whom your father bought this?"
5901Sha n''t I order the wine?
5901Should you know him again? 5901 Sibyl Osborne?"
5901Sims?
5901So long?'' 5901 So you are the man who wrote that note requesting an interview?
5901So you have Paul with you, Harry?
5901Soon?
5901Surely you are not thinking of leaving India?
5901Swear it? 5901 The Professor?"
5901The express crime?
5901The money and jewels, Miriam-- what have you done with them?
5901The witnesses?
5901Then our paths must lie apart hereafter, I suppose, Miss Darrel?
5901This came when?
5901This is all you know regarding the midnight tragedy?
5901This is the truth?
5901Thought to fool the old woman, eh?
5901Through the mail?
5901To what?
5901To whom?
5901Took?
5901True, but how will we git the cuss outside?
5901Wal?
5901Was he?
5901Was it Professor Ruggles?
5901Was it the fact of my hand fitting this bloody imprint that so startled you in the St. Louis hotel?
5901Watson, I hope you know nothing of this work?
5901Well, Lianor, dearest, what is it?
5901Well, how did you make out, Harry?
5901Well, what has happened to him, man? 5901 Well, yes,"admitted the youth;"I hope you did n''t imagine, however, that_ I_ had a hand in this railway robbery and murder?"
5901Well?
5901Well?
5901Well?
5901Well?
5901Well?
5901Well?
5901Well?
5901Well?
5901Were n''t you in Black Hollow last night?
5901What IS the trouble?
5901What are we to do?
5901What do I know?
5901What do you know of the disappearance of Captain Osborne and the death of his daughter?
5901What do you know of the murder of Arnold Nicholson on the midnight express, south of Chicago, some weeks ago?
5901What do you mean by that?
5901What do you want?
5901What does this mean?
5901What has happened? 5901 What have you discovered, Dyke?"
5901What have you to say now, Harper Elliston?
5901What in the name of caution are you driving at, Aunt Jule? 5901 What in the nation do you want with money any how?"
5901What is he here for?
5901What is it you want?
5901What is it you wish?
5901What is it, Dyke?
5901What is it? 5901 What is it?"
5901What is that?
5901What is that?
5901What is that?
5901What news do you bring?
5901What nonsense are you saying, child? 5901 What now, pard?
5901What was it?--WHO was it?
5901What will it be?
5901What will you do?
5901What''s that you say?
5901What''s that? 5901 What''s wanted, you fellers?"
5901What, Falcam, is it you, my boy?
5901What? 5901 What?"
5901What?
5901When did you learn so much?
5901When does the next train pass going west?
5901When does the next train pass, Harper?
5901When does the train pass?
5901When shall I see you again, Dyke?
5901When will Harry come to Woodburg?
5901When?
5901When?
5901Where am I?
5901Where are you going, Lianor?
5901Where did you get it?
5901Where did you get this?
5901Where did you get your information?
5901Where did you obtain this, Dyke?
5901Where does he live?
5901Where have you been, Lianor? 5901 Where is Dyke?"
5901Where is Lianor?
5901Where is he now?
5901Where is the flask of brandy you brought from the train, Dyke?
5901Where is the old hag who rules this den of iniquity?
5901Where''s the woman now?
5901Where? 5901 Where?"
5901Where?
5901Who are you and what are you driving at?
5901Who are you?
5901Who are you?
5901Who did this, then?
5901Who else should I mean?
5901Who helped her?
5901Who is this?
5901Who then?
5901Who was it?
5901Who was it?
5901Who''s there?
5901Why did n''t you bring the young missus wid yo?
5901Why did n''t you send''em up?
5901Why did not you call for me at Bragg''s?
5901Why did you permit it?
5901Why do you call me by that name, Dyke Darrel?
5901Why do you hope so?
5901Why do you sigh? 5901 Why have you come too late?
5901Why have you such an idea?
5901Why not?
5901Why should I think on it? 5901 Why so?"
5901Why was I brought here?
5901Will it never come-- the proof I want?
5901Will nothing I say convince you I am innocent? 5901 Will nothing move you, woman?"
5901Will you entice him?
5901Will you go down on Clark street with me?
5901Will you go to Chicago now?
5901Will you not lie down and rest?
5901Will you permit us to depart from here?
5901Will you show me some?
5901Will you swear to this also?
5901Will you take the required oath?'' 5901 Would a dying man be likely to utter a falsehood?"
5901Would n''t it?
5901Would you do it after what has happened, if you were in a condition to do so?
5901YOU?
5901Yes; what do you know?
5901Yes; will you keep me company?
5901Yet you would be glad to see Dyke Darrel dead?
5901You agree to my terms?
5901You are a detective?
5901You are confident?
5901You are sure his captor was Dyke Darrel?
5901You are sure? 5901 You are sure?"
5901You are surprised?
5901You are unarmed?
5901You believe I am lying, Dyke Darrel?
5901You came at noon?
5901You did not go to Chicago, then?
5901You did not know this dead girl?
5901You do not care to remain with me longer?
5901You had him once?
5901You have heard of Dyke Darrel?
5901You have not found him?
5901You have read the news?
5901You know me?
5901You know the place?
5901You love him, child?
5901You mean Dyke Darrel, the detective?
5901You must go first?
5901You really mean that? 5901 You said the wart had a peculiar shape?
5901You see how it is, Nell?
5901You see that brown house up yonder, in the edge of that grove?
5901You see that?
5901You suspected as much?
5901You swear it?
5901You will tell me of your success or failure?
5901You will trust me as of old?
5901You wish to ask me something, is it not so? 5901 You wished to see me, papa?"
5901You wished to see me, senora?
5901You''re sure the door''s tightly fastened?
5901You''re the detective, Dyke Darrel?
5901Your friend?
5901_ I_ know her? 5901 A daughter of the house?
5901A lot of chattering girls, I suppose?"
5901A strange glitter came to the eyes of Mrs. Scarlet as she said:"Who told you that Nell Darrel was in this house?"
5901An old friend of yours, is he not?"
5901And Lianor-- how is she?-- well?"
5901And what is that?"
5901Any clew discovered?"
5901Are n''t I a pattern of perfection?"
5901Are you hurt?"
5901Are you ill?"
5901Are you sorry to quit your native land?"
5901At length he said:"Dyke, what is it?"
5901But if he never came here again?"
5901But is he, then, in need of help-- in danger?"
5901But one person was awake, an old man, who said:"Lookin''fur the young lady?"
5901But should he die-- what then?"
5901But what meant this horrible revelation of the handkerchief?
5901But what use was her feeble strength against the powerful wills of two determined men?
5901But what was their strength against more than five hundred strong warriors?
5901But why these robes, Lianor?
5901But your father will he consent to your accompanying me?"
5901But, Lianor, is it true you are betrothed to Tonza?"
5901Ca n''t you speak?"
5901Can it be possible that the friends of Nell Darrel have employed this hag to rob me of my prize?
5901Can it be that our friendship was but a brittle cord, after all?"
5901Can you lend me some money, Nick?"
5901Can you refuse my offer when the lives of those you love depend upon it?"
5901Could anything be more generous?"
5901Could it be possible that another had the same- sized hand and a wart near the knuckle of the little finger?
5901Could it be that she was dreaming?
5901Darrel?"
5901Did he send ye?"
5901Did you recognize me when we first met?"
5901Did you see the man''s face who assaulted me, Harry?"
5901Did you want me?"
5901Didn''yo''send fur her yo''very self?
5901Do n''t lose your temper, sir, but listen?"
5901Do n''t you know I''m always dead- broke?"
5901Do n''t you remember?"
5901Do n''t you think that will be pleasant, dearest?"
5901Do n''t you understand?
5901Do you hear me?"
5901Do you imagine he''s on the trail?"
5901Do you imagine that I would for one moment countenance anything so base?
5901Do you know Hubert Vander?"
5901Do you know on what dangerous grounds you are treading?
5901Do you know that Nell Darrel is armed?"
5901Do you know that many of the wealthiest, most beautiful maidens of Gotham would jump at the offer you have just spurned so lightly?"
5901Do you know the man Sims?"
5901Do you know, Watson, the fate of your poor uncle?"
5901Do you stop there?"
5901Do you suppose your dear nephew could do anything wrong?
5901Do you think I''m a fool, Dyke Darrel?"
5901Do you understand?"
5901Do you wish to hear what I can tell?"
5901Dyke Darrel, do you imagine that_ I_ had aught to do with enticing your sister to this wicked city?
5901Dyke injured?
5901Elliston?"
5901Even if you were not connected with it, you know WHO was?"
5901First, have you not got Phenee, the Jew, and Diniz Sampayo here?"
5901Had that face at the window been an optical delusion, after all?
5901Harry, has nothing been discovered of poor Nell?--was she killed?"
5901Hate him?
5901Have you a match?"
5901Have you any word to send to Dyke?"
5901Have you brought me any news?"
5901Have you not been for him?"
5901He will never betray a poor girl-- such a gentleman, and so good?
5901His wife-- when he murdered Luiz?"
5901Hope you did n''t think I''d committed matrimony?"
5901Hope you''re not in love-- THAT makes a fool of a man sometimes?"
5901How can I break the awful truth to you?
5901How can I live without you?"
5901How can it be possible?
5901How comes''it, though, her miniature is in his hands?
5901How could any one have been so cold- blooded?"
5901How dare you disobey me when I said so particularly I wished you to appear at your best?
5901How den yo''''spec she''s goin''to be home ef yo''didn''done brung her, eh?"
5901How did you find him?"
5901How do you feel, dear?"
5901How does your head feel?"
5901How is that?"
5901How much will you give me for it?"
5901I hope you do not fear to trust me?"
5901I remembered only to- day that you once proved a true friend to Diniz Sampayo, and I came to know if you would again aid him?"
5901I suppose I have your good wishes in hunting down the outlaws?"
5901I thought it was a day of festival at the palace?"
5901I wonder who?"
5901I''ll go and introduce myself and get him to wait this car to try an excellent brand of cigars-- see?"
5901I''ve heerd that you have rooms to rent?"
5901In mourning, and for a ball?"
5901In the meantime, how fared it with poor Nell Darrel, who had gone thus blindly to her doom?
5901Is he ill-- in danger?
5901Is he in?"
5901Is it Luiz?
5901Is it a criminal case?"
5901Is it not so?"
5901Is n''t she at home?"
5901Look at that, and tell me what you think of it?"
5901Louis?"
5901Louis?"
5901Louis?"
5901Madge, where are you?"
5901My nephew is still in durance vile?"
5901Not the one on the midnight express, I hope?"
5901Now, as regards Watson Wilks, you say Dyke Darrel has gone to Missouri with the boy in charge?"
5901Of course you have heard of the crime on the Central?"
5901Of course you heard of the robbery of the midnight express down in the central part of the State last night?
5901Oh, senor, how can you ask?
5901Scarlet?"
5901Strange place for a learned professor, was it not?
5901Strange proceeding, was it not, after what had taken place?
5901Suppose any one overheard us?"
5901Surely you would not sacrifice your child to him?
5901The boy?
5901The late tragedy, for instance?"
5901Think you I am fool enough to permit this?"
5901To Hubert?"
5901Two men met unexpectedly in one of the hotel corridors of the great city; two hands went out, and"How are you, Harry?"
5901Was his enemy to thus outwit him always?
5901Was that the truth?"
5901Wat can I do for ye, mister?"
5901Well, now, what is this for?"
5901Whar''d you be now if I had n''t gin Dyke Darrel his quietus?
5901What did he want, honey?"
5901What fate had been her brother''s?
5901What had caused this awful calamity?
5901What had happened during all this while?
5901What has he done?"
5901What have they done with the villains, that sleek one with the red hair and beard?"
5901What hev''you got there?"
5901What is he arrested for?"
5901What is it?"
5901What is the matter?
5901What is your opinion?"
5901What made you, a stranger, think of one whom all others had forgotten?"
5901What motive could a wealthy man like Tonza have in getting rid of one of his own employes?
5901What shall we do with this?"
5901What was it that had caught the eye of Dyke Darrel, to cause such terrible emotion?
5901What was the trouble about?"
5901Where did we leave off?"
5901Where in the world did you spring from?"
5901Who could that be but Martin Skidway?
5901Who had robbed him?
5901Who is dead?"
5901Who is she?
5901Who is she?"
5901Who is the woman?
5901Who was it?"
5901Who were the rescuers?"
5901Why did I ever let you leave me?
5901Why do you hesitate?"
5901Why had he not come?
5901Why have I come here so often?
5901Why have you disguised yourself?
5901Why then should he not trust him?
5901Why, then, should you say he stole it?"
5901Will you answer?"
5901Will you come with me to Bragg''s?"
5901Will you go on it to Chicago?"
5901Will you go on?"
5901Will you help me to rescue her?"
5901Will you take us, and set us down on one of those small islands on the coast, where no one would find us?"
5901Would it be so dreadful for you to quit the country?"
5901Would you know the wart if you should see it again?"
5901Would you mind telling me where you are going?"
5901Would you try to frighten me?
5901Yet, why should she think of that man?
5901You are Don Garcia''s daughter, are you not?"
5901You draw a pistol on me, Dyke Darrel?
5901You have been down the road?"
5901You have n''t heard from him?"
5901You love me, a girl who is not even of your own kind?"
5901You understand, Sam?"
5901You will do as I wish?"
5901You would smile and feel happy to see him suffer?"
5901he cried, hoarsely,"WHO coaxed you to commit this crime?"
5901he gasped,"is it really you?"
5901how are you?
5901how came you here, Martin Skidway?"
5901is that so?
5901is this you?"
5901so you''re here again, Nick?
5901what does this mean?"
5901what is that?"
5901what should I do if they took you from me?"
5901who is this?"
56356A police- court?
56356A strange name Balkis?
56356About a woman?
56356About your brother''s death? 56356 Along with you, I suppose?"
56356An agreeable one, I hope?
56356And Berry?
56356And Frank?
56356And afterwards?
56356And did the revolver belong to him?
56356And have placed your heart elsewhere?
56356And how did he get the copy?
56356And how did the cacique know?
56356And if I do n''t?
56356And is Mr. Lancaster the elder dead?
56356And marry again?
56356And tell her you are innocent?
56356And the name Tamaroo?
56356And the name brings sad memories to you?
56356And then?
56356And they will explain the whole business?
56356And this woman made running with you both?
56356And was Fairy Fan anywhere in the galley?
56356And was Natty to marry Miss Berry?
56356And we''ll be able to baffle this conspiracy?
56356And went to look for the treasure?
56356And what about Anchor?
56356And what caused you to change your mind, my son?
56356And what right have you to say such a thing about me?
56356And what will you do with Frank then?
56356And what will you give me?
56356And where''s the reward to come from?
56356And who killed Anchor?
56356And who thrust the knife into his heart?
56356And whose guilt?
56356And yet-- why did you visit Starth?
56356And you are angry?
56356And you found the treasure?
56356And you found this before the police came?
56356And you have come to do that?
56356And you intend to hang me?
56356And you will help me to save Lancaster,he said eagerly--"to save him and baffle the Berrys?"
56356And you, Miss Starth?
56356And you, sir?
56356Are those the agents of White& Saon?
56356Are we safe here?
56356Are you aware that there is a reward offered for his apprehension by a friend of the deceased?
56356Are you coming into a fortune?
56356Are you going to stay long at the Shanty?
56356Are you not pleased, Mildred?
56356Are you still receiving money?
56356Are you sure of that, Lancaster?
56356Are you talking of the corpse?
56356Balkis disappeared?
56356Believe what?
56356Berry was speaking to Starth last night, before Starth insulted you?
56356Berry?
56356Burl told you that, did she, and after my telling her where to find Tilly?
56356But I say, Jarman, you do n''t believe that he''s guilty?
56356But I say, Tamaroo, why do you come along before the time?
56356But Starth did not expect to be killed himself?
56356But did they intend to give it to him?
56356But do you know anything of the man?
56356But for what purpose? 56356 But for what reason?"
56356But he would not call you by your Christian name?
56356But his reason?
56356But his threats on the previous night?
56356But how does Berry come to know anything?
56356But if Mr. Lancaster is innocent, why did he run away?
56356But if he is innocent?
56356But is that safe, Mildred?
56356But the message?
56356But the twenty pounds is paid regularly?
56356But to save Frank Lancaster?
56356But what about me?
56356But what about the Chinaman, Lo Keong, who stabbed him?
56356But what temptation are you speaking of?
56356But what was Berry''s game?
56356But what''s Berry bothering about him for?
56356But what''s hanging to it?
56356But who am I to follow?
56356But why did n''t he bring the papers with him?
56356But why did you visit Starth?
56356But why should the poor wretch have been mutilated at all?
56356But, I say, Eustace, why do you want Denham down here?
56356But, Jarman, who do you think killed the man?
56356By the way,asked Jarman, suddenly,"do you know a young fellow called Natty Denham?"
56356By whom?
56356By whom?
56356Ca n''t they tell you anything?
56356Ca n''t you guess? 56356 Ca n''t you tell me what it is?
56356Can Frank have been arrested? 56356 Captain Banjo Berry and his niece?"
56356Captain Berry? 56356 Could anyone have got into the lower part of the house during your absence?"
56356Dangerous?
56356Darrel?
56356Dear me? 56356 Did Berry know that you stabbed Anchor?"
56356Did Lancaster say that?
56356Did Mrs. Betts do that?
56356Did Starth love you?
56356Did Tamaroo come after Starth died?
56356Did Tamaroo know Starth?
56356Did he ever tell Billy how it came to be there?
56356Did he leave any message?
56356Did he speak?
56356Did he strike you?
56356Did he threaten to kill him?
56356Did it make you a rich woman also?
56356Did my father live in San Francisco?
56356Did n''t my father mistrust him?
56356Did n''t you write her?
56356Did she mean to murder them?
56356Did she pick up those diamonds there?
56356Did she steal your child?
56356Did she tell you in what way?
56356Did they agree?
56356Did they say where they were going?
56356Did you do it again?
56356Did you feel the man''s heart?
56356Did you fraternise with Denham?
56356Did you hear the greeting given by Starth to Lancaster?
56356Did you never inquire?
56356Did you pick up anything?
56356Did you see Starth?
56356Did you show this to Berry?
56356Did your brother ask Lancaster to call on him?
56356Do I ever drink, you ass?
56356Do n''t you believe that he is her uncle?
56356Do n''t you love him, Milly?
56356Do n''t you think Lancaster killed Starth?
56356Do n''t you think you''d better try something new, Mrs. Anchor? 56356 Do n''t you?"
56356Do you know Miss Berry? 56356 Do you know a man called Darrel?"
56356Do you know an old man called Tamaroo?
56356Do you know anything about the father?
56356Do you know her?
56356Do you know me?
56356Do you know that he has gone away?
56356Do you know what has become of Miss Cork?
56356Do you know what the Scarlet Bat means?
56356Do you know where I found this?
56356Do you know why Berry is pursuing Lancaster?
56356Do you love Mildred?
56356Do you mean Lancaster?
56356Do you mean to say that he was the gentleman who sat next to you?
56356Do you mean to say that such a condition is in the will?
56356Do you mean to say you did n''t get them out?
56356Do you mean to say, Berry, that you can prove the innocence of Lancaster?
56356Do you take sugar Or perhaps,he added, as he handed over the basin,"you would like a drink of whisky?"
56356Do you think Berry really means business?
56356Do you think Denham can tell you?
56356Do you think Denham is in his clutches?
56356Do you think Mr. Starth got you out of the house so as to quarrel freely with his visitor?
56356Do you think he intended to trap me?
56356Do you think he knows what the Scarlet Bat means?
56356Do you think it is a true one?
56356Do you think old Mr. Lancaster is dead?
56356Do you think she''ll recognise me?
56356Do you think that is true?
56356Do you think that is wise?
56356Do you think the father is still alive?
56356Do you think there''s any chance he wo n''t?
56356Do you think they killed him?
56356Do you threaten me?
56356Does Miss Starth like him?
56356Does Mr. Lancaster the father send it?
56356Does Mrs. Perth know?
56356Does a man require a guardian at the age of twenty- three?
56356Does he know that my friend has left?
56356Does n''t he look a romance, dear?
56356Does she love her brother?
56356Does that mean you will marry me?
56356Drugged-- with opium?
56356Eh, what was that? 56356 Even to keeping those secret gambling- rooms?"
56356Explains what?
56356For how long was he a leper?
56356For the capture of Lancaster?
56356For what purpose?
56356For what reason?
56356Frank has not been taken then?
56356From being hanged?
56356From whom could I inquire, Friend Jarman? 56356 From whom?"
56356Gone away?
56356Guess you do n''t care much for me?
56356Guess you''d like to send him on the journey into Kingdom Come?
56356Had she designed all this?
56356Had you any idea of doing so?
56356Hanged?
56356Harm who-- Tamaroo?
56356Has Berry any clue?
56356Has he any control over the money you possess?
56356Has he indeed?
56356Have I ever met you before?
56356Have some wine, Miss Starth? 56356 Have they any papers?"
56356Have you any idea where he is?
56356Have you any reason to believe him innocent?
56356Have you ever asked your respectable San Francisco firm?
56356Have you ever heard the name of Tamaroo?
56356Have you met Denham often?
56356Have you never been in love, Lancaster?
56356Have you no clue?
56356Have you seen Mr. Darrel since?
56356Have you worn it?
56356He came last night, Mrs. Baker, from Ireland?
56356He comes from America, does n''t he?
56356He has gone away, and I thought that you might know where he is?
56356How are you, Sakers?
56356How could he enter if the door was closed?
56356How did he know that he would rile me in that way? 56356 How did the row begin?"
56356How did you come to know all this?
56356How did you know my secretary was Lancaster? 56356 How did you learn that?"
56356How did you meet Berry?
56356How did you meet Tamaroo?
56356How do I know?
56356How do you do?
56356How do you intend to destroy them?
56356How do you know I am Frank Lancaster?
56356How do you know I was becoming confidential?
56356How do you know me?
56356How do you know that?
56356How do you know? 56356 How do you know?"
56356How do you make that out?
56356How is it you speak English so well?
56356How long ago did this happen?
56356How long have you known his real name?
56356How many more lovers have you, Miss Starth?
56356How much money is involved in this business, Miss Berry?
56356How should I know that?
56356How should I know?
56356How will my blue eyes match black hair?
56356How''s Starth?
56356How?
56356I always thought he did; but why?
56356I hope you do n''t mind my taking you by surprise in this way?
56356I ought n''t to ask, of course,said he,"but did this-- did Denham propose?"
56356I say, Dickey, have you heard anything of Lancaster?
56356I say, Mr. Jarman--Eustace observed the punctiliousness--"do you know this boy, Natty Denham?"
56356I say,said he,"you live down in Essex?"
56356I shall only be away a week, Mildred,said Eustace, taking her hand;"you wo n''t forget me in that time?"
56356I should n''t have thought it of him myself,said Darrel;"but if he did n''t, who did?
56356I suppose Jarman will put me up?
56356I suppose Miss Starth''s cut up?
56356I suppose it is impossible for me to see Miss Starth?
56356I suppose the mention of the name in connection with this case recalled it to your mind, O''Neil?
56356I suppose you know that my secretary has left me?
56356I thought Anchor was the executor of my father?
56356I thought you were friendly to--"To the Berrys? 56356 I thought you were to marry her?"
56356I was rather startled to- day?
56356I wonder if there is any truth in Frank''s belief? 56356 I wonder what stake those two are playing for?"
56356I''m a married woman,she said softly,"but my husband left me to starve-- with the child, and-- and--""And the child died?"
56356If I were, would you shelter me?
56356If we meet?
56356If you are poor, how did you come to give her those diamonds?
56356If you will shelter criminals, what can you expect?
56356In effect, she kidnapped her?
56356In what way?
56356Information about what?
56356Is Frank entitled to any money?
56356Is Miss Starth engaged?
56356Is Mr. Lancaster the father alive?
56356Is Mrs. Lancaster alive now?
56356Is it Balkis you''re going to see?
56356Is she his niece?
56356Is she his niece?
56356Is she honest?
56356Is she stopping in town for the inquest?
56356Is that his name? 56356 Is that the lady who was with her?"
56356Is that where Miss Starth lives?
56356Is there a will?
56356It was Lancaster who called?
56356It was n''t true?
56356It''s a gruesome story,said he;"and what did Tamaroo mean?"
56356Jealous, I suppose?
56356Jolly little thing, ai n''t she?
56356May I keep this paper? 56356 Mildred, why were you alarmed when I called you?"
56356Mildred?
56356Miss Berry?
56356Miss Starth has asked you to do so?
56356More than Darrel?
56356My father?
56356No?
56356Nor I. I suppose there must be a will?
56356Not bad, I hope?
56356Not even Balkis?
56356Of me and Miss Berry? 56356 Of who else?"
56356Oh Mr. Jarman, I''m that ashamed, really, so unpleasant, what must you think?
56356Oh and do n''t you want to know what the game is?
56356Oh then you did love her?
56356Oh, so you do n''t come from Zanzibar?
56356Oh, then Tamaroo was in the house when the murder was committed?
56356On the left arm?
56356On your twenty- fifth birthday?
56356Or do you intend to put him into your secret rooms, and get rid of him as you would rid yourself of the police did they raid the place?
56356Partner in what?
56356Perhaps you denounced him to Captain Berry?
56356Really?
56356Shall we drive?
56356She might have seen the revolver produced in court,said Jarman, thoughtfully;"but why should she state that it was your father''s?"
56356She was down here an hour ago, and stated--"That I had told her? 56356 She was in love with him?"
56356Shot and stabbed, was n''t he?
56356Shot and stabbed?
56356Should I know about the Scarlet Bat and that letter if I were not Mr. Lancaster''s friend?
56356Show me where Amelia got it?
56356So Walter Starth was not to your taste?
56356So it was you who sent the money from''Frisco?
56356So much as that?
56356So your friend Lancaster has gone away?
56356Suppose a reward is offered, will she?
56356Tell me exactly what occurred in the house,said Eustace,"and also explain why you went to see Starth?"
56356Tell me, Mr. Denham, did Berry or your father say anything about that Scarlet Bat on your arm?
56356That was the question you wished to ask?
56356The knife? 56356 The letter?"
56356The police? 56356 Then Frank was arrested?"
56356Then tell me, Fan, was it ever discovered who killed Anchor?
56356Then the window was open?
56356Then who could have told?
56356Then who did?
56356Then why did she write a lie?
56356Then you do n''t like Berry?
56356Then you know that Frank is innocent?
56356Then you really think there is a fortune?
56356Then you think he may come from the Islands?
56356Then you think he''s more fool than knave?
56356Then you''ll help me to get out of the country?
56356To Mildred?
56356To have me arrested, I suppose?
56356To have you shot?
56356To make me angry, I suppose? 56356 To make trouble?"
56356To see if you are the friend or the enemy of Berry?
56356Uncle,said Fan, rising and anticipating Eustace,"who do you think Leonard Grant, who wants to do the sketch, is?"
56356Walter really drugged Frank?
56356Was he alive?
56356Was it a trap?
56356Was it you who pasted the town with the Scarlet Bat?
56356Was it?
56356Was she at the house?
56356Was she speaking of Miss Starth?
56356Was that a trap also, do you think?
56356Was that quite straight?
56356We understand one another, I hope?
56356Well, Miss Cork, and what have you to say?
56356Well, Mrs. Burl, and how did you recover Tilly?
56356Well, and what are you going to do now, Miss Starth?
56356Well, did Berry see my father?
56356Well, what are you?
56356Well, you do n''t, do you?
56356Well, you went to Sand Lane?
56356Well?
56356Well?
56356Were the two men on good terms?
56356Were they all three dead?
56356Were you still in love with her?
56356Were you surprised at the change?
56356Were you? 56356 What about Captain Berry?"
56356What about the papers?
56356What about us?
56356What about yourself?
56356What did Berry do?
56356What did he mean?
56356What did he say?
56356What didst thou expect to find, Friend Jarman?
56356What do you intend to do with the letter?
56356What do you mean by an accident?
56356What do you mean by speaking of Miss Starth in so familiar a fashion?
56356What do you mean by that?
56356What do you mean by the secret rooms?
56356What do you mean?
56356What do you mean?
56356What do you mean?
56356What do you mean?
56356What do you mean?
56356What do you mean?
56356What does Berry mean by offering a reward?
56356What does the ruffian mean by making me a target for his brutal wit? 56356 What does this mean?"
56356What for?
56356What frightened him away from this hiding- place?
56356What good would that do him?
56356What happened then?
56356What has become of Balkis?
56356What is he like to look at?
56356What is his real name?
56356What is it?
56356What is that?
56356What is that?
56356What is the matter?
56356What is the question?
56356What is your question?
56356What makes you think that?
56356What of Frank Lancaster?
56356What of him?
56356What put such an idea into your head, Jenny?
56356What signs?
56356What slipped your memory, Bub?
56356What sort of Indian was he?
56356What sort of a scheme?
56356What sort of business?
56356What time did you get his letter?
56356What was it you said?
56356What was she like?
56356What will Mrs. Perth say?
56356What''s Miss Starth''s name?
56356What''s all this?
56356What''s become of Lancaster?
56356What''s he gone for?
56356What''s that to do with me?
56356What''s the matter?
56356What''s the use of that?
56356What, Fairy Fan? 56356 What?"
56356When and where?
56356When are you returning?
56356When did he tell you that?
56356Where are you going?
56356Where did Starth meet him?
56356Where did you hear that song?
56356Where did you hear the word?
56356Where did you pick her up?
56356Where is he?
56356Where was it found?
56356Where was that?
56356Where were you born, Denham?
56356Where will you take me?
56356Where?
56356Which one?
56356Who are you-- your name?
56356Who are you?
56356Who fired it?
56356Who had you for housekeeper?
56356Who have you been killing?
56356Who is Berry? 56356 Who is he, anyhow?"
56356Who is it?
56356Who is it?
56356Who is this, Starth?
56356Who is this?
56356Who said I did?
56356Who told her? 56356 Who was it, and why was he slain twice-- for that''s what it amounts to?"
56356Why are you in black, Mrs. Perth? 56356 Why are you talking like this?"
56356Why did Darrel come down?
56356Why did he follow him?
56356Why did n''t you give the alarm when you found Starth dead?
56356Why did n''t you kick him?
56356Why did n''t you put a stop to that?
56356Why did n''t you say so before? 56356 Why did n''t you send him to the son?"
56356Why did n''t you tell me this before?
56356Why did n''t you write under your own name?
56356Why did she murder them? 56356 Why did they wish you to play the spy?"
56356Why did you leave a comfortable place?
56356Why did you not give the alarm?
56356Why did you tell me that Frank was arrested?
56356Why did you write to her?
56356Why did you write under a false name?
56356Why do I go into gaslight and noisy crowds when I can dwell always in this Arcadia?
56356Why do you ask?
56356Why do you look at Tamaroo when you say that?
56356Why do you, a white man, talk of Obi? 56356 Why does he let her appear on the boards, then?"
56356Why have you placarded London from end to end with those posters?
56356Why is he so cruel?
56356Why not denounce me, and bring about the engagement at once?
56356Why not, were you away?
56356Why not? 56356 Why not?"
56356Why not?
56356Why should I?
56356Why should it?
56356Why should she steal your child?
56356Why should there be a conspiracy?
56356Why should they be dangerous?
56356Why so?
56356Why was n''t he man enough to follow, and shoot?
56356Why was not Lancaster arrested?
56356Why was the death of your husband necessary to your learning the secret?
56356Why? 56356 Why?
56356Why?
56356Will you not read it?
56356With what-- cakes and ale?
56356With what?
56356Wo n''t she explain?
56356Wotever''ave you to say to me?
56356Would I live in this dog''s kennel if I could afford such stones?
56356Would any woman put up with that treatment? 56356 Would you like some tea?"
56356Would you mind making inquiries of your agents?
56356You allude to the son, I presume?
56356You and Walter?
56356You betrayed me, I suppose?
56356You certainly gave him your photograph,said Jarman;"but if you come from America, how did you write those Arabic words?"
56356You come my way, I think?
56356You dare to insult me, do you?
56356You do n''t believe that, I hope?
56356You do n''t mean to say--?
56356You do n''t think they would murder him?
56356You do not believe him guilty, then, Tamaroo?
56356You do not know where he is?
56356You do not know who is the guilty person?
56356You expected me?
56356You have been here a long time to get rid of it, then?
56356You heard of the Scarlet Bat?
56356You knew my mother?
56356You know I have a Scarlet Bat tattooed on my right arm?
56356You know them?
56356You know then that he is Lancaster?
56356You loved Walter Starth?
56356You mean Balkis?
56356You never met in''Frisco?
56356You never spoke of this past to anyone?
56356You recognised him, then, Denham?
56356You say that Lancaster is innocent?
56356You say you love Lancaster?
56356You will let me know when Miss Starth returns?
56356You wo n''t forget to deliver my message?
56356You write dis?
56356You''d like to see him buzz into the everlasting darkness, I guess?
56356You''ve been reading the papers?
56356You?
56356You?
56356Your mother?
56356--Eustace passed over the point of the remark--"then you admit that Frank Lancaster is your client?"
56356A million?"
56356A strange romance?"
56356Again I ask why you question me in this way?"
56356Ai n''t it a prime word?"
56356All the same I can theorise in no other way, unless--""Well, what is it?"
56356And Mr. Lancaster is dead?"
56356And before you left, you stabbed the body?"
56356And how do you like the country, sir?"
56356And now, as we have arranged to marry, will you not kiss me?"
56356And the second?"
56356And what do you know of him?"
56356And when did he die?"
56356And will you be staying long, sir?"
56356And you wish to get some information from us to bring about this state of things?"
56356And yours, Lancaster?"
56356Anything else missing?"
56356Are you making any attempt to discover the truth?"
56356Are you not glad that this poor young man has been proved innocent?"
56356As to the diamonds, who told you that I gave them to her?"
56356Baker?"
56356Been drinkin''?"
56356But Berry hinted--""Why should he hint?"
56356But I do not know what it means?"
56356But I suppose you''ve just come?"
56356But I would rather she married Mr. Jarman, would n''t you?"
56356But as regards Miss Cork?
56356But how are you going to get Lancaster here?
56356But tell me, how did Mildred receive you?"
56356But the knife wound?"
56356But the reason?"
56356But was it murder?
56356But what''s all this to do with me?"
56356But who was to be killed?"
56356But why did he threaten you?"
56356But why did you mention my parents?"
56356But why do you ask these questions?"
56356But why should Miss Cork run away, and where has she gone?"
56356But you told me that there was a chance of your learning something about yourself?"
56356But you trust me-- say you trust me?"
56356But, I say, does Berry know of the contents of those papers?"
56356By the way, you do n''t think there is any chance of Berry coming down?"
56356CHAPTER IV TWO HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD"What do you think of my new secretary, Miss Cork?"
56356CHAPTER XXIV TAMAROO SPEAKS"You did not expect to find me here?"
56356Ca n''t I see the papers?"
56356Can I take this away with me for a few days to copy the letters, Miss Starth?
56356Can you fix me?"
56356Come now"--to Tilly--"do you suspect anyone?"
56356Darrel?"
56356Darrel?"
56356Darrel?"
56356Darrel?"
56356Denham?"
56356Did I not see the looks which passed between you?"
56356Did she love my brother?"
56356Did she want you to murder the man?"
56356Did you come to tell me that?"
56356Did you ever know a romance that did n''t include a woman?
56356Do n''t you trust me, Miss Starth?"
56356Do you know him?"
56356Do you know the name?"
56356Do you know what that means?"
56356Do you know, Mildred?"
56356Do you think I am afraid of him?"
56356Do you think I believe that?
56356Do you think I can be deceived?
56356Do you think he wants me, or expects me, to marry his niece?"
56356Do you think that such information would really be of service to the son?"
56356Do you wish me to earn it?"
56356Do you wish to murder Frank as you murdered your husband?"
56356Does He not give you to me?
56356Eh?"
56356Eh?"
56356Eh?"
56356Ever met him?"
56356First I look in at that house in Sand Lane--""Where Walter lived?"
56356Has anyone got it?"
56356Has young Denham seen you?"
56356Have they caught the man who did it?"
56356Have you a candle here?"
56356Have you got it?"
56356Have you told Mr. Denham anything?"
56356Have you-- are you-- I mean, do you treat me as a man of honour should treat another?"
56356Have you-- has his sister any idea as to who killed him?"
56356He brought you and Starth together again?"
56356He had saved me from slavery, and what else could I do but save him?
56356Heaven bless her How could I have loved Mrs. Anchor?
56356How came Captain Berry to have such early information?"
56356How can he find this place?"
56356How could I. I feared lest the police might see her and make inquiries?
56356How did he know that the criminal was a man?
56356How did he know that the note might not be a trap?
56356How did you come?"
56356How much, Tamaroo?
56356How the deuce did you know?"
56356How was it Lancaster dared to come here?"
56356I agree with you that he is innocent, and when he came to me for shelter, what could I do?
56356I am innocent-- I swear I am innocent, Eustace?"
56356I happened to be in the bar when you hit that red- headed man, and I saw that the little fellow--""Captain Berry?"
56356I presume he gave you notice, being your secretary?"
56356I say"--he peered through the window into the moonlight--"who is the lady?"
56356I suppose it is in order to prove your right to this fortune that Berry offered the reward?"
56356I suppose she hoped Sakers would kill her husband?"
56356I wonder if anyone knows details of his past life?"
56356I wonder if he would tell me anything?
56356I wonder if the man was a spy of Berry''s trying to find out the whereabouts of Frank?
56356I wonder what the barbaric element is doing in this galley?"
56356I wonder where Frank got it?
56356If thou dost think that the letter is vital to the proving of his innocence, why not open it now?"
56356If you can find this negro--""What is his name?"
56356In the open street?"
56356Is there anything interesting to know?"
56356Is this all you can tell me?"
56356Jarman paused for a moment, and then went on:"Frank, do you think there is negro blood in Darrel?"
56356Jarman, was n''t it you who introduced him to Lancaster?
56356Jarman?"
56356Jarman?"
56356Jarman?"
56356Jarman?"
56356Jarman?"
56356Jarman?"
56356Lancaster, will you give me and Fan ten thousand a- year between us if I prove your innocence?"
56356Lancaster?"
56356Lancaster?"
56356Lancaster?"
56356Lancaster?"
56356Lancaster?"
56356Lancaster?"
56356Lancaster?"
56356Lancaster?"
56356Lancaster?"
56356May I ask why you make these inquiries?"
56356Mr. Jarman,"said she, puffing, for the day was hot and muggy after the rain,"whatever''s come to Miss Starth?
56356My dear"--the old lady sat down and patted Mildred''s hand--"why are you crying?
56356No bad news, I hope?"
56356Nothing wrong?"
56356Now, Mrs. Betts,"he said, striding to the door,"what is the matter?"
56356Now, did you find the window as you left it when you returned?"
56356O''Neil?"
56356Perth?"
56356See here, Jarman, you''re up to some game?"
56356Shall I be less noble?
56356Starth?"
56356Tamaroo what?"
56356That is all right,"assented Jarman;"but why did he come?"
56356Was n''t one mode of death enough?"
56356Well-- the will?"
56356Well?"
56356Were you mired, O''Neil?"
56356What about suicide?
56356What about the ribbon?"
56356What are the conditions on which you delivered the message?"
56356What did the police say?"
56356What do you know of her past?"
56356What do you mean?"
56356What do you say?"
56356What does it mean?"
56356What of him?"
56356What of my reward?"
56356What revolver had been used?
56356What will you give me?"
56356What''s the gentleman''s name, Sir?"
56356When will you come down?"
56356Where do you live?"
56356Where does Balkis come from?"
56356Where is Frank?"
56356Where is he?"
56356Which wound killed the man?"
56356Which?"
56356Who had killed him?
56356Who had slain him?
56356Who knew that better than Eustace?
56356Who knows better than I?"
56356Who knows?
56356Who murdered him?"
56356Who pays you the money?"
56356Who said so?"
56356Who slipped it into your hand?"
56356Who told you he was here?"
56356Who''ll believe the words of a black man?"
56356Why did he make such an extraordinary will, and place Frank in such danger?"
56356Why did n''t he leave me more?"
56356Why did you leave me without notice?"
56356Why did you not come earlier?"
56356Why do you ask?"
56356Why do you want me to write such a letter?"
56356Why should he hit the bull''s- eye with a pot- shot?
56356Why should she know that name?"
56356Why?"
56356Would you believe it?
56356You believe him to be guilty?"
56356You do n''t happen to know where he''s skipped to?"
56356You do n''t mind my calling him Frank, do you?"
56356You got my letter?"
56356You know about Fairy Fan?"
56356You know he offered a reward of two hundred?"
56356You know that he had a Scarlet Bat tattooed on his right arm?"
56356You know the whole gang?"
56356You never knew what it meant?"
56356You seem very interested in Miss Starth?"
56356You work the typer?"
56356You''ve heard me speak of my friends, I guess?"
56356Young?"
56356a whole bob?
56356asked Natty--"a red- skin?"
56356cried Denham,"the name on the bills?"
56356has Inspector Herny been here?"
56356said Eustace, quickly,"from Miss Berry?"
56356said Frank,"then she really is the niece?"
56356said Jarman, pulling again at his moustache,"then you anticipate that he will be captured?"
56356tell me where he is, I beg you, sir?"
56356the negro came after the murder of Starth?"
56356then I understand that you have seen him since his misfortune?"
56356then he left a letter behind him?"
56356then she knows Lancaster killed her brother?"
56356then you believe him to be innocent?"
56356what is it?"
56356what''s the matter?"
56356you know what I speak of?"
56233A better doctor?
56233A clever and daring villain,said Osip, bitterly,"and the stamp?"
56233About Frank?
56233About Osip?
56233About Uncle Henry? 56233 About the loan?"
56233About what?
56233Act what?
56233Against your father? 56233 Ah, you did n''t think I''d say that, did you?"
56233All what?
56233Alone with him?
56233An honest man?
56233And did you?
56233And how on earth have you spent so much, in addition to your own income?
56233And how was I to know, my good sir, that the man Osip contemplated murder?
56233And on this particular occasion?
56233And suppose I object to this scheme you have, of taking a London house?
56233And that women are angels?
56233And the motive?
56233And the stationery?
56233And to Dr. Jerce, in London, Miss?
56233And what does she say?
56233And when will that be?
56233And why did he?
56233And why did she not accuse me?
56233And why?
56233And would you choose?
56233And yet,hesitated the soldier,"would anyone bring forward such a direct accusation, unless she had evidence to go upon?"
56233And you accepted?
56233And you did-- at that minx''s bidding?
56233And you had no pity upon me?
56233And you love her?
56233And you will never look at this again?
56233And you will-- you will?
56233And,Clarice asked the question in a low, anxious voice,"did you see anyone within or without the house?"
56233And-- and-- do you?
56233Anthony, have you pen and ink and paper? 56233 Are n''t you glad to see me?"
56233Are there any arrangements made as to where we shall live?
56233Are there no good men?
56233Are you certain that it was blood?
56233Are you satisfied?
56233Are you sure it was Uncle Henry you saw at the Shah''s Rooms?
56233Are you sure of the time?
56233Are you sure that his companion was Osip?
56233Are you sure?
56233Are you tired?
56233Are you, indeed?
56233At first I laughed at her, but when she spoke--"Well,asked Clarice, seeing that the girl hesitated,"what did she say?"
56233Barras?
56233Because, Miss, we always look to you for orders,said the valet, respectfully;"and about the body, Miss?"
56233But Mr. Horran trusts you-- so you say, Clarice?
56233But certainly the man in grey means to kill Horran, else why the warning?
56233But has he never told you what your brother did?
56233But he objects himself?
56233But how can you--?
56233But how does Dr. Jerce come to know of the matter?
56233But if Mr. Horran does not die?
56233But in the meantime?
56233But my sister?
56233But the murder?
56233But the question is, may not the late Mrs. Baird have been mistaken as to the true character of the man?
56233But the rest of the money?
56233But we are quite safe here,said Clarice, as Anthony closed the window;"why are you afraid doctor?"
56233But were you arranging a deliberate murder with my brother, when Anthony and I saw you walking to the station?
56233But what do you intend to do?
56233But what do you say about Ferdy?
56233But what made you do such a mad thing?
56233But why did you search him?
56233But why not question Ferdy?
56233But why should he have kept the money in his room?
56233But why should he sleep again after ten hours''slumber?
56233But why should it happen, Miss? 56233 But why, seeing that Mr. Clarke is in your debt, and should be glad that his daughter should make a rich marriage?"
56233But you credit Osip with the crime?
56233But you knew the danger, and----"What danger, Miss? 56233 But you wo n''t tell the police about Osip?"
56233But your news-- what is it?
56233But, Clarry, Clarry, why has Uncle Henry been killed?
56233But, doctor, about the Purple Fern?
56233But, surely, Mr. Osip, you''ll stay, seeing you have paid?
56233Butterfly what?
56233By Jerce?
56233By the way, Chalks, have you seen Mr. Ferdinand this morning?
56233Ca n''t something be done? 56233 Ca n''t you see?
56233Can I tell?
56233Can you see? 56233 Captain Ackworth?"
56233Chalks, you go sometimes to the Savoy Hotel,she remarked,"were you there last night?"
56233Clarice, how can you ask me that when you know that he had the cheek to propose to you? 56233 Clarice?"
56233Clarry, have you heard the news?
56233Concerning what?
56233Confess what?
56233Could Mr. Horran have hidden the gold without Chalks knowing anything about the hiding?
56233Dear Uncle Henry, tell me what is the matter,she implored,"it is n''t Ferdy?"
56233Dear Uncle Henry,she said, putting her arms round his neck,"why did you get up?
56233Dearest, am I ever rash?
56233Did Ferdy hear anything?
56233Did Zara tell you the means she employed?
56233Did n''t Dr. Wentworth tell you? 56233 Did n''t Mrs. Dumps tell you last night?"
56233Did n''t you hear a cry, Clarice?
56233Did n''t you recognise him from the police description?
56233Did she-- did she- see me-- commit the crime?
56233Did you agree to that?
56233Did you ask me down to accuse me of this?
56233Did you ever see this Osip?
56233Did you hear any noise in the room during the night?
56233Did you hear anything else?
56233Did you really see Mr. Clarke leave The Laurels at two in the morning?
56233Did you see his face?
56233Do n''t you think that I look rather like Ferdy?
56233Do they know?
56233Do you accuse me of robbery?
56233Do you know the Shah''s Rooms, Ferdy?
56233Do you know this man?
56233Do you mean to say that Clarry has been appointed over my head?
56233Do you mean to say that Uncle Henry has anything to do with these murders?
56233Do you mean to say that the motive for Uncle Henry''s murder was robbery?
56233Do you mean to say that you dressed as a man?
56233Do you mean to say, Mr. Barras, that Uncle Henry had forty thousand pounds in his room when he died?
56233Do you mean to tell me that Jerce would place his neck in a noose in order to gain surgical knowledge?
56233Do you not remember those murders of a year ago?
56233Do you really believe that Mr. Clarke killed my guardian?
56233Do you set your opinion against mine?
56233Do you think that I have anything to do with the death of Uncle Henry?
56233Do you think that it is a pleasure for me to take your burdens upon my shoulders?
56233Do you want to disguise yourself again?
56233Do you want to?
56233Doctor, there is nothing very wrong with Ferdy?
56233Does Captain Ackworth know that you intend to marry him?
56233Does Dr. Jerce come down often?
56233Does she know what you are?
56233Done what?
56233Dr. Jerce--"What has he dared to say?
56233Eh-- er-- what''s that you say?
56233Ferdinand,he said, in an angry voice,"why did you listen to what does not concern you?"
56233Ferdy in danger? 56233 Firstly, how you fancied that you saw Uncle Henry at the Shah''s Rooms?"
56233For ever?
56233For liberty?
56233For money? 56233 For what?"
56233For what?
56233Found out what? 56233 Grey clothes, eh?"
56233Had you ever done so before?
56233Has Ferdy----?
56233Have I not reason to,she flashed out,"when you seek to prevent my marriage by accusing Ferdy, of murder?"
56233Have you been doing anything to make him disapprove?
56233Have you been there? 56233 Have you found out where that forty thousand pounds went?"
56233Have you known me more than twenty years to ask such a question? 56233 Have you nothing to say?"
56233Have you seen the Scotland Yard authorities?
56233How can I say what you want me to say, when I am engaged, and when I love?
56233How can you stop me from getting it?
56233How can you talk so, Ferdy, when poor Uncle Henry is just buried? 56233 How could I, when I was in Jerce''s power over that bill?
56233How dare you lay hands on me-- how dare you?
56233How did he die?
56233How did you get out, when I had locked you in?
56233How did you get this cold?
56233How did you know that?
56233How did you leave him?
56233How do you know it is a man?
56233How do you know that I wish to conquer you?
56233How do you know that?
56233How do you know? 56233 How do you know?"
56233How do you mean, that it looked awkward for you?
56233How much do the bills amount to?
56233How much do you know of it?
56233How the dickens could I when I did n''t know the man? 56233 I am mysterious, am I not?
56233I am?
56233I dare say you remember what you said about disgrace?
56233I do n''t understand a word you''re talking about,she said, tartly;"what grey man-- what row?"
56233I intend to take that letter to Ferdy, and make him open it in my presence,said Ackworth,"and-- oh, Clarice, what are you doing?"
56233I knock you down?
56233I may have to remain here to- night,said he, surveying the brightly- dressed, would- be fashionable lady,"can I have a bed, please?"
56233I really wonder why that dog hates me so?
56233I say, old chap, what''s the joke? 56233 I say,"cried Ferdy, restlessly,"what''s all this chatter about?"
56233I see,said Clarice,"but why should Osip attack you, doctor?"
56233I suppose you forget that you may be arrested if Osip speaks?
56233I thought that you were not going to call me Clarice until you had the right?
56233I thought that you were satisfied with my assurance that I never wrote that anonymous letter of which you complained?
56233I thought you did not like me to smoke?
56233I wish you had come out, Ferdy,said Clarice, much annoyed, as she recalled her conversation with Ackworth,"how long have you been sleeping?"
56233I wonder who wrote it?
56233I''ll do so willingly,said Anthony;"but why do you want him out of the way?"
56233I''m sparing you a great deal, I think,said Zara, viciously;"by what right do you thrust yourself into my affairs?"
56233If I do neither?
56233If I have made a mistake I ask your pardon,she said, quietly,"but you have read the letter?"
56233If we are alike, how can there be a difference?
56233If you intended no harm,asked Anthony,"why did you take the stamp with you-- the Purple Fern stamp?"
56233In that case, I shall be glad to know why you greet me in this way?
56233In the dock?
56233In what way-- by what means?
56233In what way?
56233In what way?
56233Information of that kind has its advantages,he said, dryly,"can you tell me anything about Crumel and its inhabitants?"
56233Is Mr. Horran any better?
56233Is Uncle Henry awake?
56233Is Uncle Henry better, doctor?
56233Is Zara in Crumel?
56233Is it because I have forgotten my manners, and have not shaken hands? 56233 Is it something that Ferdy has done?"
56233Is it that Captain Ackworth is angry with me because I dared to love you?
56233Is it the cold air, or my company?
56233Is it true that Sir Daniel Jerce is here?
56233Is she-- is she--,Clarice hesitated,"quite respectable?"
56233Is that all?
56233Is that all?
56233Is there?
56233Is this a mistake?
56233Is this the reason why you asked me if Horran was a scoundrel?
56233Is what he says true?
56233It is perplexing,assented Clarice, laughing,"what do you do?"
56233Jerce?
56233Know what?
56233Master Ferdy''s the kind of angel that plays a harp,said the old dame, with dignity,"and why should n''t the poor boy amuse himself?"
56233Miss Baird?
56233Mr. Ferdinand Baird is not a doctor, then?
56233Mrs. Dumps on that night----"What night?
56233Murders? 56233 My dear Mr. Clarke,"she said, as soon as she could get her breath,"what on earth is the matter?"
56233My dear,she echoed,"does that mean forgiveness?"
56233My own conscience? 56233 No,"said Clarice, somewhat startled,"is that so?"
56233Not fond, when I am engaged to marry you?
56233Now, how could I, Miss?
56233Now, what do you mean by that?
56233Now, what do you say?
56233Now,said Clarice,"secondly?
56233Of course, and your other reason?
56233Of course,hesitated the Captain;"still, can you prove it?"
56233Of the money bags, do you mean?
56233Of which Osip is guilty?
56233Oh is Dr. Jerce coming this afternoon?
56233Oh, Miss Clarice, what is it? 56233 Oh, and Ferdy murdered Uncle Henry for that money?"
56233Oh, and is Miss Baird rich?
56233Oh, doctor, do you think he will die?
56233Oh, what does that matter?
56233Oh,remarked Miss Baird, coolly;"so you have proposed?"
56233Oh,she exclaimed,"does it mean death to Uncle Henry?"
56233On that bitterly cold night?
56233On what grounds do you base this accusation, Jerce?
56233On what grounds?
56233One moment, Ferdy,said Clarice, checking her brother''s speech with a gesture,"where is the forged cheque, Sir Daniel?"
56233One would think you had picked up a serpent,said Jerce, jestingly;"what is there about that snuffbox which frightens you?"
56233Osip says that-- and how comes it that you have seen Osip?
56233Perhaps you will explain why I have been asked here to be insulted?
56233Prudence has told you, then?
56233Prudence, do you believe that your father is guilty?
56233Quite so, but has he been a good guardian?
56233Really, and in what way?
56233Sampson Tait?
56233Say? 56233 Shall I go for the police, doctor?"
56233She did?
56233She loves me, as I love her, and--"Do you love her?
56233Since when, may I ask?
56233So that I could marry you?
56233Surmise what?
56233Tell me why you knocked me down just now?
56233The Butterfly?
56233The hussysaid Mrs. Rebson, vigorously; then, with a cracked scream,"Miss Clarice, what are you doing to your hair?"
56233The man in grey who searched Dr. Jerce on the terrace?
56233The police?
56233The remaining man,said Ackworth;"then another of the three is dead?"
56233The window was open?
56233The-- the-- the-- other woman?
56233Then I need not worry, Anthony?
56233Then he did have the gold box?
56233Then what am I to do?
56233Then what are you jawing about?
56233Then what do you say?
56233Then who did?
56233Then why not call me Clarice?
56233Then why sell it?
56233Then will you permit me to speak plainer?
56233Then you WERE in Uncle Henry''s room on that night?
56233Then you ca n''t see death?
56233Then you did not know--"Know?
56233Then you had the forty thousand pounds?
56233Then you still hanker after Zara?
56233Then you think that the letter was written by a man?
56233Then_ you_ did not get it?
56233There is no hope for me, I suppose?
56233There is someone else?
56233This Osip is a murderer,said Ackworth,"and he may kill you,----""Why should he kill me?"
56233To Prudence Clarke?
56233To whom should I write-- to what address?
56233Told him what?
56233Two hundred a year--"What''s that, when Master Ferdy will have two thousand?
56233Was not that smart of me? 56233 We are good friends, doctor; why should we become strangers?"
56233Well, and was it Chalks?
56233Well, deary?
56233Well, my dear?
56233Well, the person who saw you----"Who was it?
56233Well, then, when this is settled we can look after our own happiness?
56233Well, then, you have it without asking,retorted Ferdy, airily;"and the other condition?"
56233Well,she said, quietly,"have you nothing to say?"
56233Well? 56233 Well?"
56233Well?
56233Well?
56233Well?
56233Well?
56233Well?
56233Well?
56233Were you really drunk?
56233Were you? 56233 Wet weather, is n''t it?"
56233Wh- a- t-- what-- did he tell you?
56233What I overheard yesterday in the drawing- room-- what you and Ackworth and Jerce--?
56233What a preposterous story,said Clarice, indignantly,"did you believe it, Prudence?"
56233What about him?
56233What about your love for Prudence?
56233What am I to do when Osip comes for you?
56233What am I to do? 56233 What am I to do?"
56233What business?
56233What can be the matter with Uncle Henry?
56233What can be the matter with Uncle Henry?
56233What can you do?
56233What conditions?
56233What day was that?
56233What did he say?
56233What did it matter when Uncle Henry was dead? 56233 What do you mean by bad ways?"
56233What do you mean by on the spree?
56233What do you mean by that?
56233What do you mean by that?
56233What do you mean by that?
56233What do you mean by that?
56233What do you mean by that?
56233What do you mean, Sir Daniel, by accusing this young man of such a crime?
56233What do you mean?
56233What do you mean?
56233What do you mean?
56233What do you mean?
56233What do you mean?
56233What do you think of him, Chalks?
56233What do you think of the accusation?
56233What do you think, Ferdy?
56233What do you wish to do?
56233What does Dr. Jerce say?
56233What does Dr. Wentworth say?
56233What does it mean?
56233What does that mean?
56233What does the doctor say?
56233What else could I do? 56233 What else could there be, you stupid girl?"
56233What for, Clarice?
56233What good will that do?
56233What had been stamped out?
56233What has Clarry to do with it?
56233What has Jerce been saying about me?
56233What has he done? 56233 What has this to do with Sir Daniel?"
56233What have you done about that?
56233What have you done?
56233What is Frank doing?
56233What is it now?
56233What is it?
56233What is it?
56233What is that?
56233What is that?
56233What is the matter, lovey?
56233What is the meaning, then?
56233What is the use of going on like this, Ferdy? 56233 What is the use of pretending?
56233What is to be done?
56233What is your own way?
56233What is your theory, Chalks?
56233What kind of a shock?
56233What letter, dear?
56233What letter?
56233What makes you think that?
56233What money?
56233What more do you wish me to say?
56233What of that?
56233What other?
56233What past are you referring to?
56233What right has he to interfere?
56233What right? 56233 What row-- as you call it?"
56233What scheme?
56233What was the disease?
56233What were they?
56233What will the captain say?
56233What will you do?
56233What would have been the good?
56233What would you do about the letter if you were me?
56233What would you do?
56233What''s all right, deary?
56233What''s it got to do with him?
56233What''s that you say, about Horran having received a warning?
56233What''s the matter now?
56233What''s the matter with you?
56233What''s the matter?
56233What''s the use of denying things?
56233What''s the use of going on in this way?
56233What''s the use of saying,''Oh, Nanny,''like that?
56233What''s to be done, then?
56233What''s to be done?
56233What?
56233What?
56233What?
56233What?
56233Whatever is the matter? 56233 When and where, Prudence?"
56233When do you start in the morning?
56233When will you be back?
56233Where is Ferdinand?
56233Where''s that lawyer chap?
56233Where-- where did you get it?
56233Which means--?
56233Who must have known?
56233Who says so?
56233Who says that?
56233Who told you this?
56233Who will prevent me from becoming Anthony''s wife?
56233Who will prevent me?
56233Who wrote this letter?
56233Why did Jerce want him killed?
56233Why did n''t you come to me?
56233Why did you do that?
56233Why did you not give the alarm?
56233Why did you not have him arrested?
56233Why did you wish it, Mr. Clarke? 56233 Why do n''t you tell him so?"
56233Why do you do that?
56233Why do you say that?
56233Why do you suggest that Uncle Henry may die?
56233Why does n''t Ferdinand--?
56233Why explain all this?
56233Why is he here?
56233Why not a woman?
56233Why not to Master Ferdinand?
56233Why not? 56233 Why not?"
56233Why not?
56233Why not?
56233Why not?
56233Why on earth did you do that?
56233Why should Ferdy be accused?
56233Why should I have pity?
56233Why should I?
56233Why should Uncle Henry have treated me in this beastly way?
56233Why should he be ill at all, Miss?
56233Why should she hate Jerce?
56233Why should she have done that? 56233 Why should you look so alarmed?"
56233Why should you make yourself miserable over that silly boy?
56233Why should you receive a shock from my very simple observation?
56233Why so, doctor?
56233Why will you keep up this pretence? 56233 Why, what do you mean?"
56233Why?
56233Why?
56233Why?
56233Will not that arouse Mr. Horran''s suspicions?
56233Will you come with me to see our patient?
56233Will you explain the meaning of all this, Ferdinand?
56233Will you have some Turkish coffee and a narghile?
56233Will you have some fizz? 56233 Will you now remove your mask?"
56233Will you please to come out here, Miss?
56233With Zara?
56233With a royal Bengal tiger, Miss?
56233With me?
56233With that window open?
56233With what?
56233With you?
56233Woman-- what woman?
56233Worse? 56233 Would you betray me?"
56233Would you force the girl to marry him?
56233Would you have a scamp like this for your son- in- law?
56233Would you rather that the police insulted you?
56233Yes?
56233You are certain that it was open?
56233You believe that there is a conspiracy?
56233You believe that?
56233You can guess?
56233You did not come up to see what I was doing?
56233You did, when you could have used it to stop his evil doings?
56233You do n''t seem very pleased to see me, Prudence?
56233You do n''t trust Ferdy, then, Uncle Henry?
56233You expected to hear that Sir Daniel was torn in pieces by Jane?
56233You have seen Osip?
56233You have seen that girl? 56233 You hear?"
56233You knew my late client, Mr. Horran, intimately?
56233You know?
56233You say that he knows the man?
56233You support him, I suppose?
56233You want me to shield him?
56233You wo n''t be offended?
56233You wo n''t let the police know about father''s guilt?
56233You?
56233Your own client?
56233Zara Dumps-- Butterfly?
56233A Juryman:"And why did n''t Dr. Jerce give the alarm?"
56233A Juryman:"Did you hear any noise outside, which led you to believe that someone might be lurking about?"
56233A cigarette, then?
56233Ackworth?"
56233Ah, Mr. Ackworth, how are you?
56233Am I a fool, Clarice?
56233And I suppose you thought that my invitation meant that I had changed my mind about marrying Anthony?"
56233And I-- why, what''s the matter?"
56233And after all, you have saved Master Ferdy, have n''t you, my deary little maid?"
56233And his behaviour?"
56233And how long will he sleep?"
56233And in spite of smoking when you came into this room?
56233And my ends?"
56233And what reason does she assign for this sudden change?"
56233And why?"
56233And yet, how came it that Ferdy had this particular stamp in his possession?
56233And you knew this, Ferdy-- you knew this, and did not tell me?"
56233Anthony"--she placed her hands on his shoulders--"you trust me?"
56233Anthony, what is the use of talking more about the matter?
56233Anything else?"
56233Anything else?"
56233Anything more?"
56233Are you out of your senses, Clarry?
56233As to Osip-- what will you do?"
56233Baird?"
56233Baird?"
56233Barras?"
56233Barras?"
56233Barras?"
56233Besides, what possible object could your father have to commit murder?"
56233But I should like to know if there is any chance of Jerce threatening me through you?"
56233But how can I cure a man, when I do n''t know what is the matter with him?"
56233But how can you be certain he is guilty?"
56233But how had the assassin entered?
56233But how will you get out of the house and away from the station without being recognised?"
56233But the question was-- what did Jerce know about Ferdy?
56233But this three hundred interest--?"
56233But what can you expect, as I always say, when he''s unmarried, and ca n''t understand ladies?
56233But what caused you to change your mind, Prudence?"
56233But what power has Jerce over you to make you commit such a crime?"
56233But who could have written that anonymous letter?
56233But who would believe in her innocence, did the fact become public property?
56233But who would expect to find a man described in the papers and wanted for eight murders in a music- hall acrobat?
56233But wo n''t you drink up your ginger beer, sir, and partake of some more?
56233By the way, what do you say the hour was?"
56233CHAPTER VIII WHAT HAPPENED NEXT"Well?"
56233Ca n''t you think of a man who desires to prevent our marriage?"
56233Can I go to the Vicarage?"
56233Clarice drew the anonymous letter from her pocket, and placed it in his hand;"and to gain your ends you are willing to go to these lengths?"
56233Clarice, who had been musing, looked up,"Why do you say''she?''"
56233Clarice,"she gripped her friend''s hand tightly,"do you think that my father really is guilty?"
56233Clarke?"
56233Clarke?"
56233Clarke?"
56233Come on, mother"--she took Mrs. Dumps''arm--"were you very much shocked with my sketch?"
56233Coroner:"And you knew nothing of this purple fern business?"
56233Coroner:"Did Mr. Horran express any fear of being killed?"
56233Coroner:"Did deceased notice the open window?"
56233Coroner:"Did he touch on the fact of the Purple Fern murders?"
56233Coroner:"Did you leave deceased in a bad temper?"
56233Coroner:"Did you lock the door of the bedroom?"
56233Coroner:"Do you know why the deceased was in a bad temper?"
56233Coroner:"Had you any suspicion that deceased wished you to leave him that night in order to see someone?"
56233Coroner:"Mr. Horran was not alarmed, or apprehensive?"
56233Coroner:"When you found the box, did you see deceased about it?"
56233Coroner:"Would you have done so had deceased been awake?"
56233Coroner:"You can see the window from the lane?"
56233Cross?
56233Did Jerce make you murder Horran, or did Barras?"
56233Did not Mr. Barras tell you all these things, Clarice?"
56233Did she expect to meet anyone?"
56233Did the girl mean that now Osip was accused there could be no danger to Ferdy?
56233Did you ever see Uncle Henry in Town?"
56233Do n''t you remember that the papers were full of it a year ago, Clarry?"
56233Do you hear?"
56233Do you know about that?"
56233Do you know why I allowed Sir Daniel Jerce to leave yesterday after he had signed the confession?"
56233Do you really think that he is in danger of his life?"
56233Do you remember on the day preceding the murder that I had an interview with Horran?"
56233Do you remember that when I became engaged to you, you asked me to see Barras, the lawyer, since your guardian was too ill to be spoken to?"
56233Do you see?"
56233Do you see?"
56233Do you think that I am going to see you ruin yourself with wine and women and cards, simply because there are things a girl is not supposed to know?
56233Do you think that I have told him?"
56233Do you trust me still?"
56233Do you want me to remain?"
56233Does Miss Dumps know about your income?"
56233Dumps?"
56233Dumps?"
56233Dumps?"
56233Dumps?"
56233Eh?"
56233First, he would have to bring Ferdy back to the paths of virtue; well, what then?
56233Frank was a murderer, so who am I to blame Ferdinand for his wickedness?
56233Has Jerce told you so?"
56233Has Zara held her tongue?
56233Have I been doing anything wrong?"
56233Have you told him about the will, dear?"
56233Help Ferdy and cure Uncle Henry, and then--""And then?"
56233Horran?"
56233Horran?"
56233How can I obey them all?"
56233How can you see Osip this evening?
56233How could I possibly know such a blighter?"
56233How could he possibly go to town even once without my knowledge?"
56233How could she explain that away?
56233How dare you suggest such a silly thing?
56233How dare you?--how dare you?"
56233How did Zara know that the stamp was hidden in Ferdy''s bedroom?"
56233How did you recognise me?"
56233How does Dr. Jerce know?
56233How is a man to preach goodwill towards men, when men wo n''t show any goodwill towards him?"
56233How many more tragedies was she to hear of?
56233How much have you had?"
56233I am always frank with the boy, and he knows, as you do now, Miss Baird, that I only wish to marry him for-- shall we say professional purposes?
56233I am certain that you know nothing about the murder, Ferdy, as you were locked in and--""How dare you?
56233I did not attach much importance to the sealed letter, and--""Did n''t you open it?"
56233I might do worse than marry your brother, do n''t you think so?"
56233I thought that he spoke truly, until----""Until what?"
56233I understand how she coerced you; but how did Jerce?"
56233I understand; but in the meantime, Ferdy, what if I stop your allowance?"
56233I wonder when he will come?"
56233I wonder why she hates you so?"
56233If he was n''t after that grey chap, why did n''t he want my company?"
56233Is he quite safe now?"
56233Is he very rich?"
56233Is it that which worries you?"
56233Is it your brother''s death?"
56233Is the engagement at an end?"
56233It was not in the box?"
56233Jerce wanted money, I suppose?"
56233Jerce?"
56233Jerce?"
56233Jerce?"
56233Jerce?"
56233Jerce?"
56233Jerce?"
56233Just refresh my memory, will you, Ackworth?
56233No one thinks but what you''re ill. How did you get along?"
56233Not that it''s his fault,"added the nurse, hurriedly,"but when one sees him being led away by that hussy--""Who is that?"
56233Now disgrace will befall this house, and----""How can it?"
56233Now, how are we going, Ferdy?"
56233Now, is there any reason why you should fear him?"
56233Obey that anonymous note, and give up Ackworth, or else--""Or else?"
56233Oh, Anthony, Anthony,"she rushed towards her lover and caught at him with both hands,"how can I bear it-- how can I bear it?
56233Oh, Anthony, how did this come here?
56233Oh, Miss Clarice, what is to be done?
56233Oh, ai n''t it dreadful?"
56233Osip?"
56233Perhaps,"said Ackworth, grudgingly;"but the money?"
56233Poor boy-- could even his own sister speak of him in that way, when he was connected with a callous, cruel crime?
56233Prudence has promised to marry me and--""Prudence?"
56233Quite a change in the weather, is n''t it?
56233So this is your plan, is it?"
56233That ought to keep you out of debt; but if you will give all your money to Frank, what can you expect?"
56233The dead bodies were stamped with a fern, were n''t they?"
56233The letter, too, and--""What letter?"
56233Then you believe that the writer-- if not yourself-- has certain grounds upon which to accuse my brother of murder?"
56233Then you_ have_ an interest in stopping my marriage?"
56233Then-- and not till then-- we,----""All right,"interrupted Anthony, and stole a kiss in his turn,"but will Ferdy give up that dancing girl?"
56233This is a kind of interregnum--""Which will end--?"
56233Was he asleep or awake?"
56233Was the man mad to admit what he had seen?
56233Was there more?"
56233Well, then, Ferdy, suppose I refuse to allow you to marry Zara?"
56233Well, then, will you come and live with me in London, or marry Prudence, and get the money?"
56233Well?"
56233Well?"
56233What about Ferdy?"
56233What could one make of such a missive?
56233What did you say?"
56233What do these symptoms mean?
56233What do you mean?"
56233What do you mean?"
56233What do you mean?"
56233What do you want to ask me?"
56233What does it mean?"
56233What does your father say?"
56233What else can you do?"
56233What have you been doing?"
56233What if Jerce could harm her by harming Ferdy?
56233What if she was throwing the blame on the parson to shield Ferdy, whom she loved?
56233What is the matter with Uncle Henry?"
56233What is to be done-- oh, great heavens, what is to be done?"
56233What should he say?
56233What sort of danger?"
56233What was meant by being an accessory after the fact?
56233What were you doing there at that time?"
56233What would the world say?"
56233What''s the matter with him?"
56233What''s the other woman''s name?"
56233What''s two hundred a year?"
56233When did he give the stamp to you?"
56233When?
56233Whence do they arise?
56233Where is Daniel?"
56233Where is the gold box now?"
56233Where is the palm you speak of?"
56233Where''s the difference?"
56233Where?"
56233Which will he die of?"
56233Who is Brown?"
56233Who is Sarah Dumps?"
56233Who is he?"
56233Who says so?"
56233Who was it saw me?"
56233Why are you writing?"
56233Why ca n''t he hold his tongue?"
56233Why ca n''t she leave the boy alone?
56233Why did he search your pockets?"
56233Why did you come?"
56233Why did you not come in?"
56233Why did you not mention it yourself?"
56233Why do n''t you laugh?"
56233Why do n''t you speak to Horran about the loan to the vicar?
56233Why do you look so relieved?"
56233Why do you try to stand up for Jerce?
56233Why have you cut off your beautiful hair?"
56233Why not turn Turk or Mormon?"
56233Why on earth should I knock you down?"
56233Why should n''t I?
56233Why should she look down on me?
56233Why should you think that she meant Mr. Horran, I ask you?"
56233Why, then, should he take an assegai from the wall?
56233Why?"
56233Will the music disturb you in any way?"
56233Will you do so here, or in the dock?"
56233Will you have a cigarette?
56233Would she be able to earn money-- and in a perfectly respectable way, mind you-- to keep on this flat, and a motor- brougham?
56233Would she have made a name for herself, as I have made?
56233Would you like me to read his obituary notices?
56233Would your sister have worked as I have done?
56233You must respect her----""As my future sister- in- law?"
56233You never thought that I was guilty?"
56233You remember the gold box-- a neat design, but risky, was n''t it?
56233You say that Jerce wanted Uncle Henry to be killed so that he might find out the reason for the disease?"
56233asked Anthony, unoriginally,"how are things?"
56233asked Anthony, when Clarice returned to the drawing- room,"is Mr. Horran any better?"
56233asked Ferdy, in a grating voice,"when he is wanted himself, and for that crime?"
56233cried Clarice, turning pale,"what do you mean?"
56233cried Clarke, astonished;"when I might have been accused of committing the crime?
56233cried Ferdy, quickly,"have you been there?"
56233he clasped his hands together in an agony of sorrow;"was ever a man tried so hardly as I have been?
56233how dare you?"
56233moaned Clarice, rocking herself to and fro,"is there much more of this?"
56233said Clarice, and her voice was as hard as her eyes,"did Dr. Jerce ask you to speak to me?"
56233said Ferdy, in an aggravating tone,"and on what grounds, since you are so clever?"
56233said Osip, quickly,"your local doctor?"
56233she exclaimed, catching the girl''s arm;"has Ferdy been doing anything wrong?"
9746''Gimblet-- the clock-- eleven-- step,''is that it?
9746''That you, Miss Byrne?'' 9746 ''What have you been doing in there at this time of night?''
9746A letter you want me to read? 9746 A present?"
9746Ah, where were they?
9746And do you observe a resemblance in her to your family; do you feel satisfied that she is your daughter?
9746And if they had done so, would they have recognized the key? 9746 And is this the way?"
9746And now who could this be who had so carefully manufactured a false scent, and so cleverly avoided being himself suspected? 9746 And that Sir Arthur Byrne has never told you anything as to your birth?
9746And when did Sir David Southern turn up?
9746And when shall I go?
9746And you have so far given in to his demands?
9746Are all these cupboards full of papers?
9746Are you employed on the Inverashiel estate?
9746Are you going to arrest the whole family?
9746Are you not any relation at all?
9746Are you not his daughter, then?
9746Are you really quite certain that Sir Arthur Byrne has told you all he knows?
9746Are you sure you remember the position you found the body in?
9746Because I know you ca n''t want to see me,said the absurd young man,"though I do think you liked me pretty well before, did n''t you?
9746But what shall I do while you are away?
9746But what was the evidence against him? 9746 But you do n''t like the shooting, eh?"
9746By the way, have you been working on that bed lately? 9746 Could you take me to the head gardener''s house?"
9746Did a letter come from Paris? 9746 Did anything else come out?"
9746Did he deny having told Miss Byrne he had cleaned the rifle?
9746Did he say who it was he feared?
9746Did he show his likes and dislikes plainly?
9746Did he steal them from you?
9746Did she claim you as father?
9746Did she know her history at all?
9746Did you notice,he asked him,"whether the envelope Lord Ashiel gave you for me was fastened, or was it open as this one is?"
9746Did you trust me? 9746 Do I know it?
9746Do I understand that this person threatens you with blackmail?
9746Do strangers often come to these parts?
9746Do you mean they are his own?
9746Do you mean to say he proposed that, merely as a way out of the difficulty?
9746Do you mean to say that your family has never made any attempt to communicate with you?
9746Do you mean to say,cried Mark,"that you think there are any of these Nihilist people lurking about?
9746Do you see any cattle? 9746 Do you suppose I like having to do these things?
9746Do you suppose you can kill me, too, without being found out? 9746 Do you suppose,"asked the detective,"that he meant the English word, steps, or the Russian, steppes?"
9746Do you use any patent fertilizer?
9746Does he get many fish?
9746Does the path pass in sight of the pool she fell into?
9746From whom, then?
9746From your friends?
9746Gentleman going fishing?
9746Go? 9746 Good heavens, David,"Mark ejaculated,"do you mean to say you were in the burn?
9746Had no one left since the beginning of supper?
9746Had they both been playing and singing all that evening?
9746Has any suspicious looking person been seen about this place, this summer? 9746 Has he proposed any terms on which he will be willing to return you the papers?"
9746Has n''t she come back?
9746Have you any idea who it''s from?
9746Have you no idea at all, father?
9746His shooting- boots?
9746How about the window? 9746 How did this person obtain possession of the papers?"
9746How did you know it was the will?
9746How long have you been there?
9746How many of you are there in the servants''quarters?
9746How was that? 9746 How was that?"
9746Hullo, what''s this?
9746I had a cold lunch myself to save trouble; would you rather have something hot? 9746 I suppose they were yours in the first place?"
9746I suppose you get a lot of tourists passing through, though, Americans, for instance?
9746I suppose you have n''t come across anything concerning a Papal Bull?
9746I thought perhaps-- But what is the statue? 9746 I thought you said you were attached to him,"said the stranger in surprise,"and that he had been very kind to you?"
9746I want to ask if you would mind my not coming down? 9746 I will leave you here,"she said,"you will not want me, I suppose?
9746I''m sorry you are n''t going home,Juliet sympathized,"but it will be nice to see the English faces at Dover, wo n''t it?
9746If I did n''t,he began hoarsely--"if she did let me go, I do n''t suppose you''d ever care for me enough to marry me?
9746If Maisie stands with my uncle at the next drive,he said,"will you come to my butt?"
9746If you do n''t believe me, what''s the good of my saying anything?
9746Inside? 9746 Is all this correct?"
9746Is that it? 9746 Is that what he himself says?"
9746Is there a bull here?
9746Is there anything else?
9746Is there no other way of getting into the library?
9746Is-- is it-- dangerous?
9746It looks, though, as if my uncle had in his possession something belonging to the writer, does n''t it? 9746 Julia, Julia,"she cried,"you wo n''t let him throw me down there?"
9746Julia,he cried,"what do you mean?"
9746Julia,he said,"ca n''t you trust me?"
9746Lady Ruth,he said,"can you keep a secret?"
9746Lately?
9746Like you? 9746 Lord Ashiel could leave his money where he liked, could n''t he?"
9746Mark,she said nervously,"you know where my childhood was passed?"
9746May n''t I even tell Lady Ruth?
9746Moved? 9746 My purse?"
9746Not the young lady, surely,said Gimblet;"you were to see her at twelve o''clock this morning, were n''t you?"
9746Oh, Mark,she cried, not answering his question,"are n''t you glad to see me?
9746Oh, how should she?
9746Oh, what have you done, what have you done?
9746Oh,exclaimed Juliet,"can you really?"
9746Perhaps it belongs to one of your men?
9746Perhaps you put it down in the hall?
9746Perhaps you would like me to introduce you?
9746Rather a tedious job, is n''t it?
9746Really,said Gimblet eagerly,"which cupboard were they in?
9746Really? 9746 Say,"said Dora,"is n''t it exciting?
9746Still, you old families did get hold of all sorts of odd things sometimes, and your uncle was a bit of a collector, was n''t he?
9746Tell me,he begged,"who are those two ladies waiting for the boat?"
9746That''s all, I suppose?
9746Then may I ask what relation you are to him?
9746Then why do you say it''s something I do n''t often get?
9746Then, Miss Byrne, I hope you will not think it an impertinent question if I ask, who are you?
9746They were among your fellow- guests at the castle, were n''t they?
9746Was Sir David in need of money?
9746Was he not equally so with the rest of the party?
9746Was n''t she at Inverashiel?
9746Was that your fault too?
9746Was young Lord Ashiel with him?
9746We wrote you care of Sir Arthur Byrne,he resumed;"are you a member of his family?"
9746Were you all there?
9746What are you saying?
9746What are you shooting at? 9746 What can I have done with it?
9746What did he say?
9746What did you do?
9746What do I know? 9746 What do you mean?"
9746What do you think I can do?
9746What does it matter? 9746 What have I said that is n''t right?"
9746What is it?
9746What is it?
9746What name?
9746What should I do if you forgot me, Mark? 9746 What should detain her,"demanded his wife,"unless it is the discovery of her parents?
9746What the devil do you mean by putting your dirty hands on me?
9746What time was it when you abandoned the hunt?
9746What was the first intimation you got that there was anything wrong?
9746What was the name of the man who pulled her out of the river?
9746What''s to be done?
9746What, the white one that Mademoiselle wore for the marriage of Monsieur, her papa?
9746What,said Mark incredulously,"Uncle Douglas a Nihilist?
9746What?
9746Where do you play, as a rule? 9746 Where have I put my gloves?"
9746Where is Juliet?
9746Where is he?
9746Where is it? 9746 Where''s your warrant, man?"
9746Where? 9746 Which dress will Mademoiselle wear?"
9746Which nephew?
9746Who do you think did do it, Lady Ruth?
9746Who has gone?
9746Who was n''t he nice too?
9746Whom do you mean?
9746Why could n''t they leave it as it was for a few hours longer?
9746Why did n''t you tell me?
9746Why did you think that?
9746Why get so excited?
9746Why not, my dear?
9746Why not?
9746Why ought n''t you to have come?
9746Why should he deny it to me?
9746Why should he have shot through the window?
9746Why, Juliet,he said, when he had finished,"this is very interesting, is n''t it?
9746Why,he asked them both,"can two women not live in the same house without quarrelling?
9746Will ye get doon here, my leddy?
9746Will you always? 9746 Will you not begin at the beginning?"
9746Will you not give me that too? 9746 Will you not write at once to General Tenby?"
9746Wo n''t you drive with me?
9746Wo n''t you sit down?
9746Worried? 9746 Would you never, never forget me, or marry anyone else, no matter what happened?"
9746Yes,he said;"and you are Miss Byrne, are you not?"
9746Yes?
9746You are perfectly certain of this?
9746You are sure of the words?
9746You believe he loves you so much? 9746 You do n''t suppose I meant to let her go free, after the taste she gave me of her temper?"
9746You do n''t think it is a hoax?
9746You have been through all these?
9746You have had Macross up here, have n''t you?
9746You must certainly go to bed if you feel inclined to,said Lady Ruth;"but you will have some dinner in your room, will you not?
9746You were n''t there when it happened, I suppose?
9746You wo n''t forget to let Lord Ashiel know, will you?
9746Your father?
9746''Dead?''
9746''Do you feel ill?''
9746''I thought I saw something move over there on the skyline,''he replied;''do you see anything?''
9746''Oh, what is it?''
9746''Well,''he said,''if you are going in, I think I''ll just go over and see if there''s anyone about; you might leave the door open, will you?''
9746''What are you looking at?''
9746''What were you doing when the alarm was given?''
9746''What''s the matter?''
9746After you have finished, will you come to Lady Ruth Worsfold''s house, and tell me what you think?
9746Again her mind was filled with the disquieting question, was there nothing that might be done, that she was leaving undone?
9746And he?
9746And how, for that matter, could a stranger have obtained the use of Sir David''s rifle, if his rifle had indeed been used?
9746And now, please, go on,"he added, putting down his pencil;"what happened next?"
9746And what can be nicer than that?"
9746And what was she looking for?
9746And what was the doctor''s report?"
9746And where are you off to so fast, Cousin Juliet?
9746And yet would a sheep make so much stir?
9746And you, have you found out anything new about the murder yet?"
9746Any foreigner, for instance?"
9746Are you going to take her, Arthur?"
9746Are you quite, quite sure that I am the one girl in all the world for you, as you are the one man for me?"
9746Are you sure we had not better open the thing sooner?
9746Are you, Arthur, also prepared to adopt her?"
9746Because he was ashamed of her?
9746But for what?
9746But had he told her he had cleaned it?
9746But have you had lunch, Mr. Gimblet?
9746But how can you?
9746But how could I live with a girl who would be ready to threaten me with the gallows every time she got out of bed wrong foot first?
9746But how to get into the library?
9746But how was he to begin his search?
9746But if not, and the murdered man had really shifted his position, what did it prove?
9746But if you left off, what then?
9746But perhaps you mean that if you were poor you would n''t want to burden yourself with a wife?"
9746But was Julia really dead?
9746But was he guilty?
9746But was she?
9746But we are all liable to suffer from accidents, and what is to prevent my meeting with a fatal one?
9746But what is the use of talking to you when you are in such a state?
9746But what was she doing here, and where did she come from?
9746But where should he hide?
9746But who do you suppose I am-- don''t you know that he''s my first cousin just as he is yours?"
9746But why do you feel so sure she does n''t know you are here?"
9746But why in the world should Julia creep along as if she feared to be observed?
9746But why should David have moved him?
9746But why was he ashamed?
9746But why, why, had he let her escape so easily?
9746But you will give me the list if you find it, wo n''t you?
9746But you, when you were looking for it, did you, among all the papers you examined, ever come across such a thing as a will?"
9746By the by, is your cousin a short man?"
9746By the by, what did Sir David Southern say about having been in the room while you were in bed?
9746CHAPTER X"And now,"said Gimblet,"may I visit the scene of the crime?"
9746Can you deny it?"
9746Clearly, Julia had gone to the end; but what then?
9746Could it be a deer?
9746Could it be possible that at eleven there appeared some change in its countenance?
9746Could the fact be that she had overlooked those rare gifts?
9746Could there be a hiding place up among the wheels of the motionless works?
9746Darling, how can I tell you, before a third person, what I feel for you?
9746Did he admit it; and did he say why he moved the body?"
9746Did he know, by instinct, that she would be doing all that could be done to bring about his release?
9746Did n''t you hear?''
9746Did she not want to be seen?
9746Did the dead man refer to some peculiarity of the ancient keep?
9746Did you ever hear of_ oubliettes_, Julia?"
9746Did you happen to drop it?"
9746Did you hear the report?"
9746Did you think it sounded as if it had fallen into water?"
9746Do boats often come ashore on this beach?"
9746Do n''t you think it might have something to do with the murder?"
9746Do those facts appear to you to leave any possible loophole of doubt as to his guilt?"
9746Do you imagine I would betray you?
9746Do you know I might easily have shot you?"
9746Do you know all that has happened?"
9746Do you know anything about the case?
9746Do you know anything of this document, Mark?
9746Do you really love me, Mark?"
9746Do you suppose I''m made of cast iron?"
9746Do you think those footmarks can possibly be anyone''s but David''s?"
9746Eh?
9746For how could a mere stranger have gained possession of the misleading boots, or how returned them to their proper place?
9746For what was Miss Juliet Byrne doing at Inverashiel Castle?
9746Gimblet?"
9746Had Lord Ashiel made a mistake in arranging the message?
9746Had Sir Arthur forgotten that they themselves were having large dinner- parties on Tuesday and Friday?
9746Had he been mistaken?
9746Had she forgotten something, neglected something?
9746Had"curiosity,"then, some other meaning?
9746He asked me if I remembered that he had stayed at home the other day while the rest of us were on the hill?
9746He did not know perhaps, whether his uncle would be alone; and as a matter of fact, he was not, was he?"
9746He must at least know their name?"
9746He paused reflectively, and then added,"In the meantime you will go on with your inquiries, will you not?"
9746He spoke mockingly, but Julia answered very seriously:"Of course you ought to have it; and if I do n''t blame you, why should anyone else?"
9746His lordship''s arms, no doubt""You are quite certain about the sealing- wax?"
9746How can I blame him?
9746How can I go off and stay with someone I never met before to- day?"
9746How can you condone such a crime as his?
9746How can you doubt it?
9746How can you suggest such a thing?
9746How can you?
9746How d''ye do?
9746How did you get on?
9746How do you like this sort of thing?"
9746How do you mean?
9746How long had he known her?
9746How long would it be before she was found?
9746How many men would run such risks for the girl they loved?
9746How?"
9746I admit I ought to be above such paltry considerations, but, what would you?
9746I am like you?"
9746I could n''t very well leave her in that state, could I?
9746I hear you witnessed a will for Lord Ashiel a day or two before he died?"
9746I hope it has not rained during the last thirty- six hours?"
9746I need not repeat all that, need I?
9746I shall be as happy in one place as in another with you, Mark; are you sure you will be, too, with only me?"
9746I suppose Miss Byrne told you that my uncle electrified us all by saying she was his daughter, only an hour or so before he died?"
9746I suppose the family secrets your partner speaks of are the secrets of my family?"
9746I suppose there is no means of posting a letter now?"
9746I suppose they have left now?"
9746I suppose you have seen her?"
9746I suppose, my dear,"he suggested doubtfully,"that you would n''t be able to run over with her?"
9746I think you have an appointment for twelve o''clock?
9746If I took you seriously what should I think?
9746If anyone chanced to come along, what could I say by way of explanation?
9746If her mouth can be stopped for a time, will you be able to get clear away?"
9746If so, why should he take so roundabout a way of designating it?
9746Is it impossible for a wretched man ever to have a moment''s peace?"
9746Is it not Pandora?"
9746Is n''t that a good plan?"
9746Is she here, by the way?"
9746Is that who it is?
9746Is the library key peculiar in any way?"
9746Is there a Bible anywhere?
9746Is this your bird?"
9746It is lucky I love you as I do, otherwise does n''t it occur to you that it might get you into trouble to talk in this wild way?"
9746It looks as if you were going to find out something about yourself, does n''t it?
9746It seems impossible to believe it of him, and yet, what is one to believe?
9746It was broken; could not anyone have put in a hand, or raised the sash?"
9746It will be different, wo n''t it, if they tell me without my asking?"
9746It''s the place where they all kill pigs, is n''t it?
9746Let me see, where are you staying?"
9746Look out, ca n''t you?"
9746Lord Ashiel paused hesitatingly, and Gimblet murmured encouragingly:"And that was?"
9746Mark, Mark, what would become of me if you were to change towards me?"
9746Not a proposal, eh?"
9746Oh, Mark, I ought not to tell you, but how can I keep anything secret from my beloved?
9746Oh, by the by, you like to be alone, do n''t you?
9746Oh, detective from London, is it?
9746Oh, then it''s a parcel?"
9746Oh, where was Gimblet?
9746On the table?"
9746Or did the"will"refer to his will and testament?
9746Or is there a house somewhere at hand?"
9746Or was it steppes?
9746Perhaps I shall be able to convert you, to fire your cold British blood with my enthusiasm?"
9746Perhaps you can tell me what the programme is?"
9746Perhaps you would give Mr. Gimblet a lift too, now that we''re on top of the hill?"
9746Poor Julia, I hate to hurt you so, but it is better, is n''t it, that you should know?
9746Probably some one known to Lord Ashiel, or why should she have wanted his letter?
9746She could n''t stand a man arrested for murder any more than you or anyone else could?"
9746She was sure Gimblet did not believe David to be guilty, but was he certain of being able to prove his innocence?
9746So on she stumbled; and who shall say that Fate had not a hand in this chance decision?
9746Suppose I turn out to be a beggar?
9746Supposing he opened the door to find the room full of people demanding an explanation of himself and his weapon?
9746Supposing the shot had been heard, and the household was rushing to the scene of the disaster?
9746Surely you must have questioned him about it?"
9746Swear to me that you will never repeat it, or try to hinder me in what I have to do?"
9746Tell me every detail you can think of, but, first, who else was staying at the castle besides yourself?
9746That reminds me,"he added,"where is the secret entrance you use?
9746That they had been wrong in thinking him dead?
9746The bull''s horn at the south- east corner turns like a key, you say?
9746Then she had fallen into the water?
9746Then some one must have moved the body, and who but David knew where the key of the room had been put away?
9746These Eastern towns are all right for Orientals; and what is your Muscovite but an Oriental, in all essentials of hygiene?
9746These midges are past belief, are n''t they?"
9746Though of course he ca n''t be pitied for inheriting Inverashiel, such a lovely place, is it not?
9746Through this old clock?
9746To frighten away custom?"
9746To the right?
9746Was he thinking of her, as she was thinking of him?
9746Was it all, all for me, that you did it, truly?"
9746Was it by accident or design that the order in which the words way and will were placed was different from the one commonly assigned to them?
9746Was it controlled by some invisible mechanism?
9746Was it intentionally delayed, or would Lord Ashiel''s death come as an entire surprise to the writer?
9746Was it likely she would be allowed to go out free to denounce them?
9746Was it possible he accepted Macross''s verdict without inquiring further himself?
9746Was it possible she was going to find her own family at last?
9746Was it possible that he was mistaken, and that, after all, the words of the message did not refer to the statue?
9746Was it, or was it not, worth while to have the woman who had just left him followed and located, and her identity ascertained?
9746Was not that enough?
9746Was she stalking something?
9746Was there no other meaning applicable to the words?
9746Was there, perhaps, the figure or picture of a bull within the castle whose horn pointed to the ultimate place of concealment?
9746Was this the cipher, of which he had never received the key?
9746Well, they all knew, of course, where she really had come from; but why?
9746What are you doing?"
9746What can have happened?
9746What could it be?
9746What did it mean?
9746What do you mean?"
9746What do you say?
9746What does it matter?
9746What does it say?
9746What else could I do with them anyway?
9746What else did he say?"
9746What explanation had he ready, I wonder?
9746What had Lord Ashiel been trying to say?
9746What had Miss Tarver to do with it?"
9746What in the world could she be doing?
9746What in the world do you keep that fellow in the office for, Findlay?
9746What kind of''accident''do you imagine likely to occur?"
9746What made you do such a dreadful thing, Mark?
9746What other interpretation can be put on these facts?
9746What shall I do if you, too, now that I have told you everything, think he did it?
9746What should he say to Lord Ashiel?
9746What was he doing there?"
9746What was the connection between those broken words?
9746What was the matter?
9746What were you doing-- searching among the books?"
9746When she said he would not remember her name, did she mean to imply that he had once been acquainted with it?
9746Where had he met her?
9746Where had this girl, this extremely pretty and attractive girl, suddenly appeared from?
9746Where have you put it?
9746Where is this dungeon?
9746Where was he now?
9746Where was she going, and why?
9746Where were you when the shot was fired?"
9746Where, then, could Julia have gone?
9746Where, then, had Julia gone?
9746Who knows?
9746Who was she?
9746Who would have thought it?"
9746Whose curiosity was to be faced?
9746Why did he leave her to the mercy of these people?
9746Why did he not take her?
9746Why do you ask?"
9746Why had Lord Ashiel suddenly sprung her on them like this?
9746Why had she not gone and reported what she had seen to Mr. Gimblet?
9746Why in the world did you lag behind like that?
9746Why in the world had he not managed to guard against a danger of whose imminence he had had full warning?
9746Why in the world had he put off writing till so late?
9746Why in the world had n''t he locked up the letter when Higgs brought it in?
9746Why not, indeed?
9746Why not?"
9746Why should I let my inheritance be stolen from me?
9746Why should I?
9746Why should I?
9746Why should my cousin go into the garden, when he had nothing to do but to open the library door and shoot, if he wanted to?"
9746Why should n''t you kill who you wish?
9746Why should you believe this girl before me?
9746Why this mystery?
9746Why were such fools, such wicked, evil- working imbeciles as the police allowed to exist for one moment upon the face of the globe?
9746Why, indeed, should she not do so?
9746Will it matter much?"
9746Will you meet me at the cottage at half- past six?
9746Will you telephone to me at the Carlton after lunch?
9746Will you tell me all there is to tell before we go up to the castle?"
9746Will you undertake to do this for me?"
9746Would n''t you rather have the violent end yourself than the slow, lingering one?"
9746You can be trusted to act a part where such great issues are involved, can you not?
9746You do n''t often get one from there, now, do you?
9746You do n''t, do you?"
9746You will hardly be ready to start to- morrow, will you?"
9746cried Julia,"did you try to kill her too?"
9746exclaimed Mark,"not-- not Julia Romaninov?"
9746he asked;"or will ye drive on as far as the sheepfold?
57210''No wife nor chick?'' 57210 ''W''at the Hell is it to you?''
57210''Where you going now?'' 57210 A queer gang, is n''t it?"
57210Ahead of you, eh?
57210Am I not silly? 57210 Am I?"
57210Anarchistic?
57210And if I should still keep after you?
57210And if Mr. Norman pays up the five hundred you''ll give the plot away?
57210And may I come to the school to- morrow?
57210And supposin''I''m out on another call when he comes in?
57210And that''s ridiculous, is n''t it?
57210And what is that?
57210And who am I?
57210And you''re going to see her again, to- night?
57210Anything decisive to- day?
57210Anything-- er-- specially interesting on just now?
57210Are n''t we friends?
57210Are n''t you worth a hundred millions? 57210 Are women so dangerous?"
57210Are you a regular here?
57210Are you compelled to go down on your knees to beg your own money?
57210Are you crazy?
57210Are you going into that kind of society?
57210Are you going to sit there and let this nobody tell you what to do? 57210 Are you my boss or are n''t you?"
57210Are you proposing that I accept a gift of some of your new riches?
57210Are you satisfied? 57210 Are you wearing your father''s watch?"
57210But I did n''t use it against her, did I?
57210But I thought-- that is-- you always said----"That I was as poor as Job''s turkey, eh? 57210 But all that-- about the man waiting on the bank steps?"
57210But is it right to let him cheat the law?
57210But my character?
57210But now that he has another disinterested friend the situation is altered, is n''t it? 57210 But the man?"
57210But what am I to do?
57210But what was the difference? 57210 But what''s going to become of me now?"
57210But when you saw these young people did n''t you begin to be suspicious?
57210But will you, in a week?
57210But would it be helping? 57210 But you know where he lives?"
57210But you''ll come?
57210But-- but what shall I do with them?
57210But-- what-- why----?
57210By the way, who told you about me?
57210Ca n''t I have a car as well as anybody?
57210Ca n''t you get out of bed in the mornings?
57210Ca n''t you see?
57210Can I come in?
57210Can I order anything I want?
57210Can we go to- night?
57210Can you come right away? 57210 Can you get away to- night?"
57210Can you give me half an hour?
57210Circle?
57210Comical little fellow, is n''t he?
57210Complete?
57210Could n''t we keep this affair to ourselves for the present?
57210Could you arrange to have her followed when she leaves?
57210Did a friend of mine come in here about half an hour ago?
57210Did he engage you as his nurse?
57210Did he go? 57210 Did he go?"
57210Did n''t I convince you to- day that she was a crook?
57210Did n''t I give you a good run for your money?
57210Did n''t I tell you he was clever?
57210Did she tell you that, too?
57210Did they tell you at the office who I was?
57210Did you ever hear of John Farrow Norman?
57210Did you ever hear of Miss Staley''s Employment Bureau?
57210Did you ever hear of a lady called Mrs. Anson Cleaver?
57210Did you get a sample of his handwriting?
57210Did you get him?
57210Did you miss me?
57210Did you notice the name on the door?
57210Did you pick up a friend of mine here?
57210Did you read the afternoon papers?
57210Did you see the person that brought the package in?
57210Do I have to get up?
57210Do n''t you know me?
57210Do n''t you remember me?
57210Do you approve?
57210Do you happen to know any of the men behind the desk at the Bienvenu?
57210Do you know him?
57210Do you know what the penalty is for marrying a woman under another man''s name?
57210Do you mean to tell me you''ve been in business with this man for three years and do n''t even know his right name?
57210Do you mean you are satisfied I''ve done my job, and are willing to marry me now? 57210 Do you mind telling me what you mean by that exactly?"
57210Do you only operate in the city here?
57210Do you really think she''s in his pay?
57210Do you remember all you told me about her last night?
57210Do you still believe that Miriam is marrying you for love alone?
57210Do you suppose I want that yellow face near mine?
57210Does n''t it seem a little foolish to you this morning?
57210Don''t-- don''t you believe what he said about the Reds being after you-- I mean me, and all?
57210Doped?
57210Eh?
57210Eh?
57210Eh?
57210Eh?
57210Everything going well?
57210Excuse me, madam, but did you see my friend get out of the car?
57210Father''s name?
57210Fellow dressed like yourself?
57210From now on you''re working for me, and you wo n''t take any other calls, see? 57210 Going to retire on your winnings, eh?"
57210Got who? 57210 Had n''t we better be moving?"
57210Hang it all, I do n''t have to tell you everything I say to a girl, do I?
57210Has Bobo given you power of attorney?
57210Has he ever been in your office before?
57210Has n''t that place a bad name?
57210Has she got anybody in view?
57210Have n''t you forgotten something?
57210Have you a full tank?
57210Have you any money?
57210Have you any news for me?
57210Have you any objection to his marrying me?
57210Have you anything by Barbarossa?
57210Have you ever operated a typewriter?
57210Have you never had the curiosity to follow up the messenger?
57210Have you seen her?
57210Have you the manuscript?
57210He says to me:''Do n''t you work at 1118 Broadway?'' 57210 Hey?"
57210Hey?
57210How about champagne? 57210 How about her?"
57210How about me?
57210How about terms?
57210How about the Alpine Heights?
57210How are things going?
57210How can I get away from her?
57210How can I sneak out without orders from the desk?
57210How can I? 57210 How can you find time?"
57210How could I? 57210 How could I?
57210How did I know? 57210 How did it happen she picked on Bobo with such certainty?"
57210How did you expect to keep it out of the papers?
57210How did you get into it in the first place?
57210How did you know that day which of the two of us was Bobo?
57210How did you learn all this?
57210How do I know what to do?
57210How do I know you''re on the square?
57210How do you describe an old lady? 57210 How do you know that?"
57210How do you mean?
57210How does the situation stand with the anarchists?
57210How ever did you do it?
57210How long have you known him?
57210How long would I hold my job if I was not-- well, careful?
57210How much?
57210How will I land the job?
57210How will we put in the time until then?
57210How would you like to be rich?
57210How would you like to take a cruise in her?
57210How?
57210Humorous situation, was n''t it?
57210I do n''t want to rub it in, but I''m curious to know if you appreciate the colossal cheek of your coming to me for money after what has happened?
57210I suppose you''re wondering why I sent for you?
57210I''ve got to have it out with you, have I? 57210 In writing?"
57210Ingenious, was it not? 57210 Is Miss Culbreth still in your hotel?"
57210Is it all right?
57210Is it safe?
57210Is it true he has a hundred million?
57210Is it true what they say in the papers?
57210Is it worth a fiver to you?
57210Is n''t he one of you? 57210 Is she going to let me carry him off?"
57210Is that Barbarossa''s real name?
57210Is that all you can tell me about Miriam?
57210Is that for you to say?
57210Is that too much?
57210Is that true?
57210Is that where they keep it, old man?
57210Is there a bookstore where they make a specialty of such writings?
57210Is there any reason why you should n''t give it up for awhile?
57210Is this Miss Storer?
57210Is this story in the papers about Bobo true?
57210It would be sport, would n''t it?
57210It''s all right for us to come?
57210It''s been a mighty interesting game that you and I have been playing the last few weeks; a sort of chess game with human pawns, eh?
57210Katy, dear, ca n''t you give me one word to go on?
57210Let him get away?
57210Let me see the letter, will you?
57210Look here,said Jack, coming to the point at once,"what kind of a job have you got here?"
57210May I see it?
57210May I speak to you a moment, alone, before they take me?
57210McGann''s?
57210Mother''s name?
57210Must? 57210 Need you ask?"
57210Now about Miriam?
57210Oh, if you''ve made up your mind that I''m a liar, what''s the use of my saying anything?
57210Oh, in that case-- Want me to have a look in it?
57210Oh, what''s a few thousands to you? 57210 On my money?"
57210On the level, do you want me to work for you?
57210On the level?
57210Parents living?
57210Place of your birth?
57210Private or professional?
57210Promise?
57210Ready for lunch?
57210Robinson?
57210Saw who?
57210Say, boss, can I see him himself-- Norman I mean?
57210Say, fellow, what kind of a pipe are you giving me? 57210 See what?"
57210See you to- morrow?
57210Shall I describe Mr. B. to you?
57210Shall I let him go, sir?
57210She tried to plug you, did n''t she?
57210She''s always saying that I''m trying to turn you against her, is n''t she?
57210Short and stocky?
57210So he had a private entrance, eh?
57210Something in connection with our two young gentlemen?
57210Supposing a man offered you this, would you be willing to put yourself in his hands?
57210Supposing she comes here and shows a disposition to make a scene, introduce her to Connolly the house detective, see? 57210 That little job I did for you; has it served its turn?"
57210That means it was brought into the office by the person who wanted it delivered?
57210That so?
57210That you, Jack? 57210 That''s fine for you,"said Bobo, looking around nervously,"but where do I get off at?"
57210The money''s mine, is n''t it?
57210The point is, are you satisfied to have me stop?
57210The principal one?
57210Then how do you send him his share of the proceeds?
57210Then there was n''t any pearl pin?
57210Then what happened to it?
57210Then what possible motive could I have for wishing to turn you against her?
57210Then what were you loafing in the park by yourself for?
57210Then who-- who is this?
57210Then why ask?
57210Then why bother about the matter?
57210Then why did you try to poison his mind against me?
57210Then why do n''t you?
57210Then why do you do it? 57210 Then you have n''t got anything against me?"
57210Then you think it will be all right for us to go?
57210Then you think there''s no danger?
57210They have just gone?
57210This Mr. Robinson? 57210 This society game is a funny one, is n''t it?"
57210To the same amount?
57210Tommy,said Jack,"the guy that gave you that package is a crook, and I''m trying to land him, see?"
57210Uncle George was posing as an experienced and successful man of affairs, see? 57210 Want me to come to the hotel?"
57210Want me to take you there?
57210Want to see me do it?
57210Was he a customer of yours?
57210Was he alone in the car?
57210Was it accident?
57210Was it my right name, Sturani?
57210Was the late Mr. Gyde a member?
57210Wassa matter?
57210Well, I''ve fired him, have n''t I?
57210Well, and am I supposed to give way to your secretary? 57210 Well, did you find his corpse?"
57210Well, how would you like to keep this up for a while?
57210Well, then, who told you about the_ Future Age_?
57210Well, was it a man or a woman?
57210Well, what did you shoot for?
57210Well, what then?
57210Well, you are satisfied, are n''t you?
57210Well-- some money?
57210Well? 57210 Well?"
57210Well?
57210Were you warned of this?
57210What about their arrangements for to- morrow?
57210What accommodations will you require?
57210What are we going to Yorkville for?
57210What are we going to do now?
57210What are you getting at?
57210What are you going to do to me?
57210What are you going to do with me?
57210What are you going to do?
57210What are you laughing at? 57210 What are you thinking about?"
57210What are your intentions towards this sweet child?
57210What can I do for you? 57210 What can I do for you?"
57210What can I do?
57210What can we do for you?
57210What circumstances?
57210What cock and bull story did she tell you to- day to change you again?
57210What could be worse?
57210What d''ye mean, bad eye?
57210What d''ye mean, keep it up?
57210What did Jack do?
57210What did Jansen tell you about me?
57210What did he say about me?
57210What did he want that for?
57210What did the papers mean by saying that you were fat, and that you had a good- looking secretary to whom you turned for everything?
57210What did you do there?
57210What do you make of it all?
57210What do you mean by that? 57210 What do you mean, believe the worst of?"
57210What do you mean?
57210What do you require to- day?
57210What do you see there?
57210What do you suppose has become of Miriam?
57210What do you think of me?
57210What do you want me to do?
57210What do you want of me?
57210What does it mean then?
57210What does it mean?
57210What does that mean?
57210What does the service cost?
57210What doing?
57210What else could I do?
57210What first made you suspect the Eureka Association?
57210What first put you on to the fact that I was after you?
57210What happened to me?
57210What impudent nonsense is this?
57210What is complete? 57210 What is it?"
57210What is it?
57210What is the object of my doing this?
57210What is your pleasure in the matter?
57210What kind of a circle?
57210What kind of a con is he handing me?
57210What kind of accommodations do you require?
57210What kind of looking guy?
57210What like fellow is he?
57210What name shall I say?
57210What name would you suggest for my new character?
57210What number?
57210What other kind of instructions did you get?
57210What reason does she give for my actions?
57210What shall we do with this man?
57210What shall we do?
57210What shall we do?
57210What sort of disguise do you recommend?
57210What sort of instructions?
57210What time are you going, then?
57210What time is it?
57210What time?
57210What was I to Silas Gyde?
57210What would be the gain if it altered my usual appearance?
57210What''ll I do with him, sir?
57210What''ll we do to- night?
57210What''s good?
57210What''s he like?
57210What''s his job?
57210What''s that?
57210What''s that?
57210What''s that?
57210What''s the damage?
57210What''s the difference? 57210 What''s the difference?"
57210What''s the matter with you?
57210What''s the matter?
57210What''s the matter?
57210What''s the trouble,''Bo?
57210What''s the use of lying to me? 57210 What''s up?"
57210What''s your game then?
57210What''s your name?
57210What''s your opinion, Kitty?
57210What-- what do you want of me?
57210What-- who-- who''s this?
57210What?
57210What?
57210When my income is cut off what shall I do?
57210When you could n''t deliver that package at the Bienvenu what did you do with it?
57210Where am I? 57210 Where did my friend go?"
57210Where did they go?
57210Where did you get it?
57210Where did you get it?
57210Where did you get that idea? 57210 Where did you meet him?"
57210Where did you take him?
57210Where have I heard of another girl with hazel eyes? 57210 Where have you been?"
57210Where is your office?
57210Where were they?
57210Where''s his place?
57210Where-- did I get it?
57210Where?
57210Where?
57210Where?
57210Where?
57210Whitcomb? 57210 Who are these mysterious hard- eyed young people that come and go in this house as if they owned it?
57210Who could I get in our gang? 57210 Who do you think you are?"
57210Who do you think?
57210Who is his lawyer?
57210Who is it?
57210Who is this?
57210Who sat at that table?
57210Who the deuce is Walter Delamare?
57210Who told you to tell me that?
57210Who was murdered?
57210Who''s quarreling? 57210 Who''s we?"
57210Who?
57210Whom do you wish to see?
57210Why did n''t you ask me when you were poor?
57210Why did n''t you bring him up?
57210Why did n''t you buy the place?
57210Why did you say you wanted to get to us without loss of time?
57210Why do n''t you try Harmon Evers?
57210Why does he send you all this money?
57210Why go back to the office?
57210Why is it he wo n''t draw even the smallest of checks unless you are there?
57210Why not? 57210 Why not?
57210Why not? 57210 Why not?
57210Why wo n''t I?
57210Why wo n''t I?
57210Why, yes, how did you know?
57210Why-- why, what''s the matter with Jack?
57210Why-- why, what''s the matter?
57210Why?
57210Why?
57210Will I have to face him?
57210Will we lunch to- day?
57210Will you give up the chase of this man? 57210 Will you introduce me?"
57210Will you knowingly help to levy blackmail, and to bring about additional murders?
57210Will you make a trip down to British Guiana for me? 57210 Will you sign a check?"
57210Will you stick to him, Miriam? 57210 Would n''t it be better to wait until I have looked into the thing?"
57210Yes, but what has that got to do with me?
57210Yes, is n''t it?
57210Yes?
57210Yet an hour ago you were on your way downtown to get a license, were n''t you?
57210You brought a package to the Hotel Bienvenu yesterday?
57210You do n''t know where they took my friend?
57210You have a young lady stopping here called Miriam Culbreth?
57210You have n''t spent any since you met Mother, have you?
57210You have no idea?
57210You make friends with them?
57210You remember in my last letter I said Miriam had had a telephone conversation yesterday that seemed to agitate her?
57210You remember the lovely lady we saw yesterday?
57210You still intend to marry her?
57210You will start in to- morrow?
57210You''re going away again?
57210You''re not leading up to a proposal of marriage, are you?
57210You''re sure he has n''t been after it himself?
57210You''re sure it''s me she wants?
57210You, Robinson?
57210You?
57210Your full name?
57210_ What does she want to know that for?_thought Jack.
57210''Well fixed?''
57210''What''s Uncle George like?''
57210''Where?''
57210''Why should n''t even Silas Gyde do a good act?''
57210''s giving me the slip has got to do with her?"
572108 As the two young men left the cafà © Bobo said:"Where are we going now?"
57210Addressing the detective sergeant, she said haughtily:"What is the meaning of this outrage?
57210Aloud he asked:"What is the information you have?"
57210Aloud he asked:"When was this?"
57210Am I dreaming?"
57210Am I not beautiful?
57210And the fellow said-- I do n''t mean your friend, but the other fellow, he said:''She''s new, ai n''t she?''
57210And the fellow says:''What make is it?''
57210And you talk about being my friend?"
57210And you?"
57210And----""Yes, I know, but which way did they go?"
57210Are you going to answer my question?"
57210Are you going to stand for that?
57210Are you quite well?"
57210Are you trying to blackmail me?"
57210As Delamare and Brome were leaving Jack said:"Can either of you put me in touch with a high police official, a man I can apply to in case of need?"
57210At the end of the meal she said listlessly:"Where shall we go to- night?"
57210At the library desk he inquired:"Is there any writer on anarchistic subjects who signs himself Barbarossa?"
57210B.?"
57210Bobo was now weakening fast"What do you suppose her game is?"
57210Bobo, are you coming with me, or are you going to stay here?"
57210Business is such a bother, is n''t it?"
57210But could I get away with it?"
57210But may I ask how you learned of it?"
57210But seriously, what are you going to do afterwards?
57210But that''s always the way ai n''t it, like a story like?
57210But why should the Red Gang kidnap him when we''ve paid up?
57210Bye and bye the fellow said:''Will you drink with me?
57210Ca n''t you afford to be generous?
57210Ca n''t you come?"
57210Ca n''t you take a joke?"
57210Can I belong to a circle?"
57210Can I see you?"
57210Can it be done?"
57210Can you come down to see me this morning?"
57210Can you give up to- day to me?"
57210Can you open up in three days?"
57210Cop says:''Do you want to lay''a complaint, sir?''
57210Cop says:''What do you want to annoy this gen''leman for?''
57210Curious, is n''t it, how they run to hair?
57210Did Clara write to you?"
57210Did he have a fine suite?"
57210Did you see any anarchists?
57210Do n''t you like me, Katy?"
57210Do n''t you recognize his beautiful eyes?"
57210Do n''t you think I''m in earnest now?"
57210Do you get me?"
57210Do you know where she is now?"
57210Do you mean you are offering me---- Are you crazy?"
57210Do you mind my sending for you?"
57210Do you recognize my voice?"
57210Do you want to let yourself in for a lifetime of that?"
57210Does he talk about me?"
57210Even so, you never heard of a bald anarchist, did you?"
57210Ever notice the mole on her right forefinger?"
57210Ever noticed that?"
57210Following a sudden impulse, Jack said carelessly to the boy:"Who is Mr. Spragge, son?"
57210For whom was it a warning?
57210Getting him on the wire, he said:"Connolly, have you got four men there, waiting for instructions?"
57210Had a big trust on him now----""Trust?"
57210Had he not rescued Kate from her squalid surroundings, and made sure of being able to see her as often as he wanted?
57210Has he gone away?"
57210Have any of you seen him?
57210Have you any one in mind?"
57210Have you got a copy of the_ Future Age_?"
57210Have you got my man?"
57210Have you nothing to say?
57210He is young like yourself, and this matter will mean a big thing for him-- that is if you have no objection to his youth?"
57210Her bold, pleased glance at Jack said:"We can have fun right under his stupid nose, ca n''t we?"
57210Her idea is that I am afraid of her influence over you, because it may threaten mine, is n''t it?"
57210His official age was fifteen; had he not to swear to that to get his"working papers"?
57210How about their hair?"
57210How can I let the cleaners in here?"
57210How could I live?"
57210How could I respect myself?
57210How could I trust anybody else with the secret of that vault?"
57210How could you respect me?"
57210How did you get here yourself?"
57210How do I know what your game is?
57210How is it that men so unbalanced are thus favored?"
57210How is it you do n''t know that if you know him?"
57210How was I to know?"
57210How will you be able to respect me now?"
57210How would you describe me if you had to?"
57210How''s things?"
57210How''s this?"
57210I ca n''t put it any stronger than that, can I?"
57210I guess you can manage your own affairs as well as other men, ca n''t you?
57210I heard her voice squeakin''over the wire:''Why?''
57210I promptly put mine in the hands of the police, as did others, with what result?
57210I''ve sworn it.--But how does he know I''m not going to turn over my case to the police?
57210If I tell you everything I know, will you promise to save me from public disgrace?"
57210If the anarchists really meant to croak a millionaire for the good of humanity, as their letter suggested, would they warn him with a letter?
57210If you''ve got a spark of manliness, why do n''t you put him in his place?
57210If your conscience is clear, why should you fear a few plain questions?"
57210Is he dead?"
57210Is it for you or me do you think?"
57210Is it my fault that you lost your head over an adventuress?
57210Is n''t he working for the Cause?"
57210Is n''t that so?"
57210Is that all clear?"
57210Is there anything you want to tell me?"
57210Is there some work I could do, too?
57210It stands to reason, do n''t it, that he could n''t be seen around here?"
57210It was the time that big millionaire Ames Benton was killed by anarchists; remember?"
57210Jack was obliged to ask her very off- hand:"Notice any change?"
57210Jack''s reflections were interrupted by an appeal from alongside:"Say, fella, can you help a fella to a meal?"
57210Jack, feeling the change, said scornfully:"Do you see her coming back?
57210Just help me carry him out to my car, will you?''
57210Looking at it from a disinterested point of view, old Silas Gyde was not much of a loss to the community, was he?
57210Miriam herself; who is she, and where did she come from?
57210Nor-- Robinson?"
57210Norman?"
57210Norman?"
57210Norman?"
57210Norman?"
57210Norman?"
57210Norman?''
57210One thing led to another, and the fellow said:''That your car?''
57210Outside Jack said:"Do you mean to say you have spotted the house where the old man lives?"
57210Perhaps you know her?"
57210Privately he was thinking:"Lovely lady, what are you driving at now?"
57210Robinson?"
57210Robinson?"
57210Robinson?"
57210Say, are we going to have coffee and cigars?"
57210See?"
57210She sees me looking at her and says:''Are you the policeman?''
57210She was in the act of saying:"Mary, where have you been?"
57210Supposing he dropped out of sight for awhile, how could he inform himself of what went on in his absence?
57210The spokesman for the pair said:"How did we know what your game was?"
57210Then he says real sudden- like:''Has anybody been trying to fix you?''
57210Then how are you going to support her in the style to which she has been accustomed?"
57210Then:"Which way did he go?"
57210To Delamare:"If I might make a suggestion----?"
57210To Mother?
57210To the weedy youth he said:"Who sent you here?"
57210Turned loose on the street at nine o''clock of a working morning, which way was one to turn?
57210Turning to Bobo:"Has he got something on you?
57210Want to do it?"
57210Was he a middle- aged man short and thickset, well- dressed, but not sporty, heavy white moustache, and little chin whisker?"
57210Was he not a hundred times a millionaire?
57210Was his benefactor''s only purpose in taking those elaborate precautions to make a fool of his heir?
57210Was it not my plain duty to beg him to go slow, to think what he was doing?"
57210Was it the name of a famous historical character or an ocean liner?
57210Was the Red Gang behind that, or was it a private venture?
57210We do n''t need any further preparations, do we?
57210We''re the gang what croaked old Silas Gyde, and we''re going to get you next, see?
57210Well, the easiest way to escape notice is for me to get some fellow to take my place, see?"
57210What am I to enter alone?"
57210What are you going to do about it?"
57210What chance did I have?
57210What chance has a man like me of winning a woman like her ordinarily?
57210What do you care?"
57210What do you get out of it, really?"
57210What else could I do?
57210What else happened?"
57210What have you got against her?
57210What have you got to do with_ him_?"
57210What is it, Tommy-- I mean Whitcomb?"
57210What is it?"
57210What is it?"
57210What kind of case is it?"
57210What name was on the card?"
57210What now?"
57210What will the servants say if we stay in here with the door closed?
57210What would the inside reveal?
57210What''ll we do when we get inside?"
57210What''s Aunt Sally like?"
57210What''s pity got to do with it or anything?
57210What''s the matter?"
57210When he does come in, see if you''re clever enough to trail him back to his home or his office, or wherever it is he goes, see?"
57210When they were alone in their rooms, Jack looked at him and said:"What the deuce am I going to do with you?"
57210When they were alone together, Miriam softly said, turning the hazel eyes full on him:"Why ca n''t we be friends, Jack?"
57210When?"
57210Where are you''phoning from?"
57210Where could I go?"
57210Where did you get that?"
57210Where did you meet Mr. Robinson, Katherine?"
57210Where does it come from?"
57210Where had he heard it before?
57210Where is it?"
57210Where will I and my job be then?
57210Where will we go now?"
57210Where''s Miriam?"
57210Where''s the best place to go for an outfit?
57210Who is it that makes your eyes shine, and your mouth purse up in a whistle?"
57210Whom do you protect?"
57210Why did n''t you tell me what she had been up to?"
57210Why do n''t you invite him to kick you while he''s at it?"
57210Why do n''t you look her up and well-- not resist them quite so hard?"
57210Why do you ask?"
57210Why do you ask?"
57210Why do you fight against me?
57210Why not?
57210Why should she be in such awe of her agreeable uncle?
57210Why the deuce did he take the risk of kidnapping Bobo from McGann''s if he only meant to bring him home?
57210Why will you be so silly?"
57210Will a thousand dollars a week be sufficient?''
57210Will he still want to marry her after getting such a taste of her quality as that?"
57210Will you ever learn the first rudiments of sense?
57210Will you go, or must I call a servant to show you the door?"
57210Will you let me come to see you?
57210Will you marry me?"
57210You do n''t suppose I''m going to lend you my name and my money for the rest of your life?"
57210You mean----?"
57210You pack up your things and get out before night, see?
57210You''re sure you are not mistaken?"
57210any regular time for calling up?"
57210social?"
57210still come here?"
5179A look? 5179 A woman, you tell me?
5179Ah!--small circumstances, as you say-- yes-- but circumstances-- eh?--do they not often-- must we not be very careful-- eh?
5179Ah, I see? 5179 Ah, Signor Marchese, then I am not to be disappointed this evening?
5179An acquaintance? 5179 And can you give us your attention for a few minutes?"
5179And did you mention to the Contessa the shocking fact of the prima donna''s death?
5179And did you see her any more in the course of that morning?
5179And he is a musician, you say?
5179And how anxious he seemed to say everything that appeared to make it bear hard upon Ludovico?
5179And how early would it be not inconvenient to you, Padre mio, to open the church for me?
5179And how in the world do you know that, pray?
5179And how many years, since you are ready to wager on it,--have gone to the bringing the face and form I see before me to their matchless perfection?
5179And if he comes before you are back, Signor Quinto?
5179And is it possible, Signor Fortini, that you do really in your own heart believe me to be guilty of this deed?
5179And is it true that the Marchese Ludovico was with him, and fainted dead away at the sight of the body?
5179And is not that motive enough, per Dio?
5179And no doubt that is the feeling of our young friend Signorina Foscarelli?
5179And no marks of violence? 5179 And no other idea has been started?--no suspicion?
5179And now tell me,he continued;"what did you think of the third act last night?
5179And now, Signor Barone,said the old lawyer, as soon as the wine and the praise it merited, had been both duly savoured,"about this bad business?
5179And pray, Signor, what is there to be astonished at in such an intention?
5179And the Marchese Ludovico?
5179And then you answered her as prettily, I suppose, Signora?
5179And then you were kind enough to converse with her on several subsequent occasions?
5179And three representations a week?
5179And what did the young lady who came to copy the mosaics do afterwards? 5179 And what difficulty lay in the way of becoming Duchessa di Lodi?
5179And what do you purpose saying to him?
5179And what do you think of it now, papa mio?
5179And what has been found out? 5179 And what was she getting?
5179And what was the good of murdering the girl? 5179 And what would be the result if it should turn out that he was guilty-- if he were condemned?"
5179And when did you hear of a case of murder committed in this strange and peculiar manner?
5179And where was she when the second lady passed, going towards the Pineta?
5179And where''s the use of never seeing a single soul, if she throws all that she has gained by it away in this manner?
5179And why not the uncle, bambina mia? 5179 And why should you throw one to him?"
5179And would it be possible to return to the city that way, instead of coming back to the road?
5179And you are with her very frequently?
5179And you fancy the Marchese Lamberto is one of those who ca n''t help himself, eh?
5179And you found him kind, too; as kind as his uncle?
5179And you really mean that you have never tried to make love to her in any way?
5179And you told her this?
5179Are you sure that that spot is blood?
5179Are you sure whether a deed is signed or is not signed when you see it?
5179At last?
5179At six o''clock, you say?
5179At the Palazzo Castelmare?
5179At what thought, Paolina? 5179 Bah- mistakes-- what mistake?
5179Bianca, is that reasonable?
5179Bianca,he cried, starting to his feet as if he had been stung;"what does this mean?
5179But I suppose that Father Fabiano is not so ill but that we can speak with him? 5179 But I thought you said that you had only just now returned to the city?"
5179But I want to know what sort of body, she is?
5179But I wonder what it is then that has prejudiced you against the Lalli?
5179But did you not say that you loved the Marchese Lamberto?
5179But do you know anything about it, Faraoni? 5179 But even if you should convince me, Signor Marchese, that such were in truth the case, whom else do you think you would be able to convince?
5179But have you heard, all of you, that there is a third horse in the field?
5179But have you succeeded, Signor Ercole?
5179But how came the accident? 5179 But how does his explanation exclude the possibility that he may have been the assassin after all?
5179But if he thinks he has any guess at the murderer, why do n''t he say it at once?
5179But if so, frate mio,rejoined the Procuratore,"what, pray, is the motive that now brings you here?"
5179But is it true, Signor Giovacchino, what people say, that--?
5179But is that the advice you would give to an innocent man, Signor Fortini? 5179 But since that time you have become intimate with her?"
5179But we can not go on the expedition as we are, I suppose?
5179But what ails the custode?
5179But what had I better do? 5179 But what had I better do?"
5179But what led you to ask him such a question?
5179But what on earth put it into your head, Paolina mia, to say that she was not thinking of me when she was singing her part? 5179 But what?
5179But what?
5179But where is the Marchese Ludovico?
5179But who ever heard of such a thing as going off to the Pineta at that time in the morning, and after being up all night at a ball too?
5179But why does it follow that anybody is to blame, at all? 5179 But why should any such intended offer on the part of my uncle be ever heard of at all?"
5179But why? 5179 But you can at least say one word, Signor Ercole?
5179But you do n''t think the judges will believe that my child could have done such a thing? 5179 But you were not sure that you did return to the same spot?
5179But you''ll come back here after you''ve seen him, wo n''t you? 5179 But, Paolina, angiola mia,"said Ludovico, who had heard her with a look of consternation,"what has thus changed you?
5179But, Signor Professore-- what should you have done if--?
5179By the way, Signor Barone, have you heard whether the medical report has been made yet? 5179 Can I be permitted to see the Marchese Ludovico, Signor Commissario?
5179Can you feel as Bianca what you can so divinely express as Amina?
5179Can you honestly tell your uncle that you have made any very strenuous efforts in that direction?
5179Case of death from natural causes, you mean? 5179 Che vi pare?
5179Che volete?
5179Could n''t ye say a word to the Marchese, to take him out?
5179Could you not do some thing to restore consciousness? 5179 Did I ever do anything to attract him?"
5179Did I not see you throw the flowers I had given you from your carriage; evidently for the purpose of gratifying another person?
5179Did I say''Paolina?'' 5179 Did she come to the church before the time when you saw the other lady pass towards the forest?"
5179Did you ever hear a thing more charmingly sung? 5179 Did you not see,"said the lawyer, again motioning his companion to be patient;"did you not see another young woman in the forest yesterday morning?"
5179Did you see the Marchese Ludovico in a box on the right- hand side on the second tier with that Venetian girl, the artist?
5179Did you, or did you not hear that a dreadful murder was committed yesterday morning in the Pineta not far from this place?
5179Do I disturb you, Signorina?
5179Do you know where he was before the Angelus?
5179Do you know whether she saw, or was aware that the second lady had passed the church to go towards the Pineta?
5179Do you not understand?
5179Do you remember how he turned all sorts of colours here last night, when we were talking of it?
5179Do you think that, Fortini? 5179 Does he generally lock the door at night?"
5179Does he get his rest at night? 5179 Does that fellow know anything more than he tells us?"
5179E Lei dunque e il Marchese Lamberto di Castelmare?
5179Eh, papa mio, che volete? 5179 From Venice, father?
5179Funny, is n''t it? 5179 Ha, you know the murderer; you suppose you know him?
5179Had they seen any other person in the forest that morning?
5179Has anything been discovered, then?
5179Has he said anything?
5179Have you any suggestion to offer yourself as to the possible means by which this woman may have met with her death?
5179He had been into the forest; and when he came back at the hour of the Angelus, he seemed quite overcome by his walk?
5179He? 5179 Heard of it?
5179Hey-- y-- y-- y?
5179How came it about at first, that you spoke to her?
5179How came you to know the Marchese Lamberto?
5179How do we know that? 5179 How does he bear up under all this misery?"
5179How long a walk is it, father, from here into the wood?
5179How on earth could that old woman come to you with a budget of such damning facts against her friend? 5179 How see something more?"
5179How so, Signor Fortini? 5179 How so?
5179How was it possible that I should do so, when I knew nothing about it till Ludovico told me several hours later?
5179I do n''t understand you, Signor Dottore; what has the 24th of March to do with this?
5179I hope, Signora, that I shall not say anything which it is wicked to say; but what is it that people are wicked enough to say?
5179I suppose the medical report can hardly have been made yet?
5179I suppose there is no objection to my seeing the Marchesino?
5179I suppose we had better put off settling our little bit of business till another time?
5179I suppose,said Fortini, as they walked together,"that there is no possibility, in such a case as this, that the death may have been a natural one?"
5179I was about to ask you whether they had proceeded to any examination yet?
5179I wonder whether she is as lovely as she is said to be?
5179I? 5179 If you went to the Pineta with her--(did anybody ever hear of such a mad thing?)
5179In what respect did it seem to you, that what I proposed saying to my uncle in the first instance, was unfair, Signorina?
5179Including me in the''us''? 5179 Is it more than a mere fainting fit?"
5179Is it possible that death may have been caused by foul means, yet by such as may elude your investigation?
5179Is not it the more likely story in every way?
5179Is she in the Corso-- La Lalli?
5179Is that too much so?
5179Is the friar about again, or still in bed?
5179Is the poor young fellow--?
5179Is there any place, frate, where I can put my horse and carriage under shelter for half an hour or so?
5179Is there anything new? 5179 Is what I can do on the theatre of Ravenna the thing that is most in my thoughts?"
5179It is this young lady, I conclude, who has undertaken to copy some of our mosaics for the Englishman, who writes to my uncle, then?
5179Leandro arrested on suspicion of murder? 5179 Ma come?
5179Marchese, do not look at me in that way; you frighten me, and what have I done? 5179 May I ask, Signor Marchese, whether your intention has been communicated to your nephew?"
5179Might have been done by a woman? 5179 My solemn assertion, then, produces no effect on your mind, Signor Fortini?"
5179Nay, Ludovico, must you not do so always? 5179 No more I have; but are there not two persons from whom such an intention may be learned?"
5179No more-- how no more?--what-- what is it you mean?
5179No, you do n''t mean it? 5179 Now, father, you will be able to tell us what you saw?"
5179Of course a voice which has done much work, is not the same thing as a perfectly fresh one? 5179 Of course you told these gentlemen that I was not visible, Gigia?"
5179Of course, to produce the result we wish, a case must be set up against Leandro?
5179Oh my Paolina, what words are these?
5179Oh, you can see that much, can you?
5179One word more-- shall I see the Marchese?
5179Pain you, Bianca?
5179Pray, Sir Poet, which bolgia was set apart for those who are lost by the''peccato della gola?'' 5179 Shall we say to- morrow, at the same hour?
5179So that you are all for the uncle, papa mio?
5179So, then, all the''buts''have been butted and rebutted?
5179So, then, there are now three persons suspected-- Ludovico; and the Venetian girl, and the Conte Leandro?
5179Spare you what, Bianca? 5179 Style?"
5179Take some of this woodcock pie, Signora Bianca? 5179 Tell me, then, if you ever heard my name mentioned in connection with that of the Marchese Ludovico?"
5179That theory-- shall I give it you? 5179 That will suit me perfectly well; to- morrow, then, at my lodgings at ten, shall we say?"
5179The Conte Lombardoni?
5179The Marchese Lamberto sees her a good deal?
5179The Marchese Ludovico?
5179The lady herself told you that the Marchese Lamberto had proposed marriage to her?
5179The lady''s name? 5179 The lady, you mean?"
5179Then at the hour of Compline the father had not yet been taken ill?
5179This Carnival, uncle? 5179 To him,--to your nephew?
5179Was it of course that you should come to your own, own Bianca when she begged it? 5179 Was it of course, amore mio?"
5179Was n''t Signor Ercole''s woman here with a lanthorn just now?
5179Was there anything to show how she-- that is, I mean, whether she-- died by violence?
5179Was there no fallen tree, no track of road, no specialty of weed or flower, that the spot might be identified by?
5179We shall see each other at dinner?
5179Well, bambina mia,--my baby,for so the old man often called her,"what sort of folk have we come among?
5179Well, what did we hear of her doings at Milan? 5179 Were you aware, then, Signor Marchese,"he asked,"that the Marchese Ludovico had gone to the Pineta with this unhappy woman?"
5179What about her? 5179 What account does he give of the matter himself?"
5179What answer, I wonder, would he get if he were to speak to you as I spoke just now?
5179What can you have got into your head, tesoro mio? 5179 What can you mean, Paolina?
5179What did you think of that, Paolina mia?
5179What do you mean, Bianca mia?
5179What do you mean, Signora? 5179 What do you mean?
5179What do you mean? 5179 What do you say to going this very morning?"
5179What do you think of her, Signor Leandro? 5179 What do you think of it, Manutoli?"
5179What for? 5179 What have I done that is wrong, sir?
5179What induced you to go out there to- day?
5179What is it astonishes you so, Signor Professore,said he;"surely you were prepared to find that a murder had been done?
5179What is it?--money, I suppose?
5179What is that to me? 5179 What is the matter with the padre?
5179What is there to be thought of, that has not been thought of already? 5179 What means?
5179What parcel of nonsense have you got into your little brains, Paolina? 5179 What right have you to say, Paolina, that I should ever, or could ever love another but you?"
5179What was she getting? 5179 What was the reward of St. Romauld, father?"
5179What were you asking about at the gate?
5179What would there be so unlikely in it,pursued Manutoli;"girls, and Venetian girls too, have done as much and more before now?
5179What, after all we heard of her doings at Milan-- after all the histories of her goddess- ship in every city of Italy?
5179What, are there two supper- rooms? 5179 What, arrested for this murder of La Bianca?"
5179What, in Heaven''s name, are you talking about? 5179 When was it, then, that you heard from the Conte Leandro, that the Marchese Ludovico was in the Pineta with La Bianca?"
5179When, according to your own account, she had been scheming all the time she has been here to bring it about?
5179Where had he been all the time between the time when the painter lady left the church, and the hour of Compline?
5179Where was he hurrying back from, then? 5179 Whereabouts is she?"
5179Who could doubt it, Signora, that has the advantage of knowing you as well as I do?
5179Who could it have been?
5179Who ever thought he did? 5179 Who has she got with her in her carriage?"
5179Who was ever before so prettily asked how old she was?
5179Who, I? 5179 Who?
5179Why should it?
5179Why should the Signor Marchese be so unlikely to marry? 5179 Why should you think she does hate you?"
5179Why so, Signor Marchese?
5179Why, then, does that girl hate me as she does? 5179 Why, what is it?
5179Why, what is it? 5179 Why?
5179Will he be up at this hour, after last night''s ball?
5179Will you allow me the pleasure, Signora, of conducting you to the city in my carriage?
5179Will you be very discreet, Signor?
5179With La Bianca?
5179With us?
5179With whom you had no acquaintance previous to her bringing that recommendation?
5179Would it have been better if I had concealed all this from you? 5179 Would they be able to find again and to know the spot on which they had found the body?"
5179Yes; but we have some days yet before the end of the Carnival; and till then you will be at work every day here?
5179Yes; everybody in Ravenna, I believe, expects to see such a marriage before long; do you? 5179 You are going, then, now, Signor Barone, to see this Paolina?"
5179You did not expect him to jump at the idea of making you Marchesa di Castelmare, I suppose? 5179 You do n''t mean that you think Ludovico can have done it, Manutoli?"
5179You do n''t mean that?
5179You do n''t say so?
5179You do n''t think then,said the lawyer,"that it was the sight of the dead body that moved him so?"
5179You do not doubt it, Paolina?
5179You have heard, I suppose, that we have arrested the girl Paolina Foscarelli, and the Conte Leandro Lombardoni?
5179You left her sleeping on a bank in the forest, and have never seen her since?
5179You mean that his life is in danger?
5179You must be a Venetian, father, surely, to love it so well?
5179You saw--?
5179You think that, between us all, we should have induced him to listen to reason?
5179You wish me to go to her at once?
5179You wo n''t put your bottines on?
5179''But''the second; will not the good people say all sorts of ill- natured and absurd things?"
5179--and returned this morning, how can you want to go now to her house to ask whether she is there?"
5179A chi lo dite?
5179A chi lo dite?"
5179A pleasant office, is n''t it, Signor Pietro?"
5179A young woman, I suppose, from what you say?"
5179About this shocking affair in the Pineta, of course, of course?
5179Alarmed before they could carry their object into execution by the approach of footsteps?
5179All his world, that he had lived among, and lived for, from his cradle upwards: the Cardinal, his sister, his nephew, Violante?
5179All-- all that he had hitherto lived for, was it not flat, stale, poor, puerile, in comparison to it?
5179And Paolina herself?
5179And Paolina herself?
5179And how fair was life before him, as it would be if only this fatal woman had never crossed his path?
5179And if I had to wait ten hours instead of one, would not the one I have passed be cheaply purchased?
5179And is she as adorable behind the scenes as before them?"
5179And now what is she, this diva?
5179And then, tesoro mio!--Mio!--How could I ever say mio?
5179And was it not even yet in his own power to make it equally fair again?
5179And was what he desired so much out of his reach?
5179And what the deuce was her own meaning, and feeling, and the motives of her conduct?
5179And what the deuce was the nature of her power over him?
5179And what were Bianca''s meditations, when the business visit of the impresario was over, and he and the Marchese left her room together?
5179And who in Ravenna did not know the Marchese Lamberto?
5179And who should say that all was not upon the whole for the best as it had pleased heaven to cause it to fall out?
5179And why should it be?
5179And would he not thus be simply leaving the coast all free to his nephew?
5179And would not that be exceedingly disagreeable?
5179And, after all, what can my uncle do?
5179Apollinare?"
5179Are you aware that you are accusing me of being guilty of punishable defamation and slander?
5179Are you content?
5179Are you mine-- mine for ever?
5179Are you not professing to do so even now?
5179Are you not promising your love to the Contessa Violante?
5179Are you satisfied?
5179Are you suffering much now?"
5179At Rome, immediately after the high distinction shown him, what would they not say?
5179At the thought of my being married to the Contessa Violante?"
5179BOOK V Who Did the Deed?
5179Bianca, do you hear me?
5179Bianca, is that the conduct of a woman who has the very same morning accepted the hand of another man?
5179But I dare say your habits are not very matutinal, Signora?"
5179But are you sure it is a secret?
5179But before I go; you will just say the one word: Have you been successful?
5179But che vuole?
5179But did you not send for me to make your will?"
5179But do not think to enchain?
5179But for that gracious disposition of Providence, who knows that his lot, or worse, might not have been mine?
5179But how to accomplish such a step while his uncle lived?
5179But in the name of all the saints what took the Conte Leandro out of the Porta Nuova at that hour of the morning, after passing the night at a ball?"
5179But is it quite the same thing, amico mio?
5179But now I have confessed myself this time, and told the whole, whole truth-- may I hope for absolution?"
5179But she was to be there with Ludovico-- how could the poet expect to find her alone?
5179But still was it not a great blessing that the Marchesino should be prevented from throwing himself away in that manner?
5179But still, how far was his view of the question a correct one?
5179But they spoke with such little precaution, that I could not help overhearing what they said; and what do you think Ludovico is up to now?"
5179But to him--""And what was it, pray, that he threw to you?
5179But was there anything worse in that than men had been treated"since summer first was leafy?"
5179But what did he care for all that had been hitherto to him as the breath of his nostrils?
5179But what fate could be too bad for the Siren herself?
5179But what if such a supposition were simply inconsistent with the known facts?
5179But what is all that to the dreadful accusation hanging over the Marchese Ludovico?
5179But what is any success or any applause now to me, save yours?
5179But what matters that; except, indeed, as a stepping- stone?
5179But what reason have we for thinking that there would be any less difficulty in becoming such than in becoming Duchessa di Lodi?
5179But what then?
5179But what upon earth have you got into that dear little head of yours, my Paolina?
5179But what was the mistake, I want to know?"
5179But what?"
5179But when one knew Paolina; when one knew her as he knew her, was it not impossible?
5179But who could be injured by any light word spoken or light thought of such an one as poor Paolina?
5179But who is to go with me?
5179But who knows?
5179But who, except a really attached friend, would you get to believe it, under the circumstances?
5179But why should I, you know?
5179But why such a sudden start?
5179But will you not let me look at your work?
5179But would she consent to that?
5179But you are looking fagged, harassed, troubled, mio bene: have you had anything to vex you?
5179But you do n''t suppose that he is burningly eager to solicit the honour of your alliance, che diamine?"
5179But you know his nephew also, the Marchese Ludovico?
5179But you will own, Signor Marchese, that it is-- what shall I say--?"
5179But, once again, why dwell on my belief in the matter, which is nothing to the purpose?
5179But--""But what?
5179But--""What is the''but,''anima mia?
5179By what charm had she bewitched him so?
5179By whom?
5179CHAPTER I At the City Gate II Suspicion III Guilty or Not Guilty?
5179CHAPTER II Was it Paolina after all?
5179CHAPTER III Could it have been the Aged Friar?
5179CHAPTER III Guilty or not Guilty?
5179CHAPTER IX"Passa la Bella Donna e par che dorma"--Tasso"What''s to be done now?
5179Can I be expected to love her, because she is the Cardinal''s niece?
5179Can I give him any message for you, Signora?"
5179Can it be one o''clock already?
5179Can she take the stage?
5179Can that old friar have spoken the truth?"
5179Can you forgive me?"
5179Can you not comprehend?
5179Can you not guess as much?"
5179Can you yourself suggest any other theory whatsoever?"
5179Che vuole?"
5179Coming it strong, is n''t it?"
5179Could he venture even to accept the high distinction offered to him?
5179Could it be that Paolina, being such as he knew her in his inmost heart to be, should even adulterate her love with interested calculations?
5179Could she have been indifferent to the danger that slander should tarnish her good name?
5179Could she have had any second motive for speaking as she had done?
5179Could this be the clue?
5179Curious?
5179Did I love them?
5179Did I say too much?"
5179Did another gentleman undertake the duty of escorting the lady back to town?
5179Did he come to you immediately on leaving me?"
5179Did he make the same statement here?"
5179Did not you think both singing and acting very fine?"
5179Did she approve of these visits made thus in the perfect seclusion of that old church at the hours when its doors were shut to the public?
5179Did she imagine that she would lack suitors?
5179Did she like the hours so spent in tete- a- tete conversation with the handsome young Marchese?
5179Did she not sing that finale superbly?"
5179Did they love-- pretend even to love-- me?
5179Did they want him to die before their eyes on the benches of the court?
5179Did you come from Venice?"
5179Did you ever see anything so outrageously ridiculous?"
5179Did you ever speak to her?
5179Did you mark the way he looked, and went as pale as death, when I showed him the place?"
5179Did you see it too?"
5179Do not you-- cannot you understand the difference?"
5179Do you bring me any information?
5179Do you feel as if you had go enough left for it?"
5179Do you imagine that I would judge you harshly-- severely?
5179Do you know anything about her?
5179Do you know where she is?"
5179Do you know whether her ladyship is aware of the engagement you speak of?
5179Do you know who I am?"
5179Do you like the old game better?
5179Do you not see and know that all my life is devoted to you?
5179Do you see, Signora?
5179Do you think I ai n''t cold too?
5179Do you think I should be uneasy if you were called on to travel under the escort, for example, of our friend the Conte Leandro?"
5179Do you think I should let you go there alone, if there were?
5179Do you think she-- the old woman-- has any guilty knowledge of the crime?"
5179Do you think that I am quite a fool?
5179Do you think that I can not make allowances for all the fatalities attending on such a combination of circumstances?
5179Do you think that I could endure the thought of being married to another man?
5179Do you think that the Venetian would have stood in the way if I had chosen to do so?
5179Do you think they do n''t always know very well, every one of them, off the stage or on the stage?"
5179Do you think you could?"
5179Does not all Ravenna know, including the lady herself doubtless, that I am to marry her because she is the great- niece of the Cardinal Legate?
5179Doing the thing nicely, is n''t it?"
5179E inteso?
5179E poi?"
5179For pity''s sake, tell me, what does it mean?"
5179For what possible purpose?
5179For what possible purpose?
5179For what possible purpose?"
5179For whom was it profitable, that this poor girl should be put to death?
5179Had any robbery been committed?"
5179Had he been smitten with sudden madness?
5179Had he not called him Aesop, when it was plain to all the world that he represented Apollo?
5179Had he not chaffed him unmercifully about the verses he had sent to La Bianca?
5179Had not his life been happy?
5179Had you much acquaintance with her?"
5179Has any-- any-- discovery been made?"
5179Has anything happened?--anything-- out of the common way, eh?--eh?--what-- what is it?"
5179Has he been ill long?"
5179Has he ridden much lately?"
5179Has it not come into your clever head, mia bella, that we might find here the means of avoiding a repetition of that error?"
5179Has nobody heard that our poet was arrested before he was out of bed this morning?"
5179Have I deserved well of the city, eh?
5179Have I done well, eh?
5179Have I really hurt you, Bianca?"
5179Have the investigations of the police led to nothing?"
5179Have we done well?"
5179Have we not enough to make a sufficient puzzle already?"
5179Have you always found such wishes as mine offensive in others?"
5179Have you any idea how he has come to be implicated in the matter?"
5179Have you any news to tell me?"
5179Have you money about you?
5179Have you seen her?
5179Have you seen the Marchese Lamberto this morning?"
5179Have you succeeded?
5179Have you sufficient money about you?"
5179Here you are on the point of contracting a marriage, which--""On the point, uncle?
5179Here, in Ravenna, how should he look his fellow- citizens in the face?
5179How can I apologize to your Excellency sufficiently for appearing before you in this dishabille?"
5179How can it be supposed that a man-- a man like the Marchese Ludovico-- should chance to have a needle about him?
5179How can there be no doubt, merely because he was with her in the forest?"
5179How could he have been led to do such an act by such a motive, when he knew nothing of it?"
5179How could that one little round drop of blood have come there?"
5179How did she know how far they had gone from the farmhouse?
5179How do you know that?
5179How do you like the appearance of the country?"
5179How does the land lie now, eh?"
5179How far is it?"
5179How in the world should I know anything about it?"
5179How is that to be accounted for, eh?"
5179How many men had been treated in such matters very much worse than she had any thought of treating him?
5179How many men had married women in her position-- women less capable of doing credit to the position to which they were raised than she was?
5179How on earth did she ever contrive to get such a fatal influence over him?"
5179How preach to him( terribly necessary as such preaching might be) under such circumstances?
5179How should I know?
5179How should I?
5179How should he know anything about it?"
5179How should they know what a woman will do when she is driven?
5179How to account for so strange a phenomenon?
5179How was it possible to put in comparison for a moment the consideration of a fellow- noble of his own city and that of a poor unknown foreign artist?
5179How was it?
5179How will that do, eh, Signor Giovacchino?"
5179How will this answer fit?
5179I am obliged to ask you what conversation, of a special nature, passed between you and Bianca Lalli during your excursion?"
5179I be present?
5179I can not go all alone by myself?"
5179I credulous?
5179I dare say that we might find-- what is that coming along the road yonder?"
5179I dare say the Signor Marchesino and the Signorina you speak of are old friends?"
5179I do n''t know what you are driving at?"
5179I do not ask if she is captivating in a drawing- room; but has she the face and figure needed to be effective in the theatre?
5179I know I may trust you; may I not?"
5179I must ask you how you have employed the interval?"
5179I never had any doubt of it; and why not in that way as well as another?
5179I say that the Signorina Paolina Foscarelli committed murder?
5179I shall never see my twenty- fourth birthday again?"
5179I suppose he went to bed when he came home from the ball?"
5179I suppose it is true that you had been informed of your uncle''s intention to offer the poor girl marriage?"
5179I suppose we are bound for the same place; will you permit me to offer you a seat in my carriage?"
5179I supposed you were the head of the family, your uncle, perhaps?"
5179I think we need not trouble you any further at present, frate-- what is your name, my friend?"
5179I thought your place was always there?"
5179I took her when she was left an orphan--""And she has lived with you ever since?"
5179I wonder how much some of our friends would have given to have the place beside her to- day?
5179I wonder what her game is?"
5179I wonder whether there''s any chance of their moving me when he''s gone?"
5179I?
5179III Could it have been the Aged Friar?
5179If I were to swear now that I will never set eyes on her more?"
5179If I were to-- what shall we say?--if I were to set out on a journey with la Diva, tete- a- tete, to travel from here to Rome, should you be jealous?"
5179If anything new should turn up you will not fail to let me know it?
5179If his nephew were held to be guilty of this crime, would not all the odium of having driven him to it fall on him?
5179If only it could be shown that he had done so?
5179If they were to declare on the house- tops that he had promised marriage to La Lalli, what human being in all the city would believe them?
5179If you had committed murder-- if I had committed murder,--should we not either of us, have denied it as resolutely as you denied this?
5179If you had killed this woman, let us say, what would your conduct be?
5179In the Pineta at that hour of the morning?
5179Inteso?"
5179Is it in any way likely that the Marchese Ludovico should habitually carry such a thing about with him?
5179Is it likely that she should choose just that moment to make away with herself?"
5179Is it more likely that a man or that a woman should have by chance such an article about them?
5179Is it the first time?"
5179Is n''t the Signor Ludovico the old one''s own nephew?"
5179Is not my conviction, based upon the probabilities of the known facts, of much greater value than any mere acquiescence with your assertions?
5179Is not the evidence overpoweringly strong against this Venetian?"
5179Is not the sight of the unhappy wretch, as he sits cowering there, afraid, evidently afraid to meet my eye, a warning and a caution?"
5179Is she not divine?"
5179Is she really so unapproachable?
5179Is she up to the mark, or is she not?"
5179Is that all you have to tell me?"
5179Is that all you saw?"
5179Is that the course which an innocent man would take?
5179Is the same thought as sweet a source of happiness to you, my promised husband?"
5179Is there any one of you here can show such a note from any woman, let her be who she may?
5179Is there aught to offend you in anything that I have done, or said, or hoped, or wished?"
5179Is there time?"
5179It''s not that with La Lalli, is it?"
5179Just as if we both did not know better than that, and know too what we both mean?
5179Just open the door quietly, and let him walk into the room without disturbing me-- you understand?"
5179Leandro?"
5179May I ask, Signor Marchese, how long it is since you have spoken with him?"
5179May I beg your indulgence, Signor Marchese, if I ask you to wait for me while I dress?
5179May I climb up?
5179Might I ask your name?"
5179Might it not be possible to find means of pleasing all parties in this matter, if only all parties understood each other, Signor Ludovico?"
5179Might it not have been the hand of the Venetian girl, maddened by jealousy, which had taken the life of her rival, while she slept?
5179Might not that be held to justify you in allowing me to retain my liberty until the course of your inquiries may again require my presence?"
5179Might possibly the something take the shape of a change or mitigation of Paolina''s resolve?
5179Might she not, very probably, fall in with them?
5179Might they not still be in the immediate neighbourhood of it?
5179Much less such a man as the Marchese-- should have stood over that figure, and so looking down on it, have decided on destroying it?"
5179Murdered-- but why murdered?
5179No devil told you I wanted to make my will?
5179No doubt?
5179Now, as I have simply stated the facts, do you imagine that a moment''s doubt will be felt as to who has done this deed?"
5179Now, do you think that the world would consider any such protection necessary in the case of the Marchese Lamberto?
5179Now, you understand?
5179Of course, you know that I question you only in your own interest?"
5179Of course, you will go to him at once?"
5179Of what nature was it?
5179Oh, Marchese, does your heart lend you no aid to the understanding of it?
5179Oh, Marchese, how can you doubt me?
5179Or an inpromptu on seeing the divine Lalli enter Ravenna through the same arch under which the Empress Theodora must have passed?"
5179Ought she not, therefore, with the intensest scorn of what- do- you- take- me- for- sir indignation to have repelled the insult offered to her?
5179Paolina had said in reply, to his pleading,"but--"But what, tesoro mio?
5179Paolina, you will be mine?--my all?
5179Physic, indeed; what''s physic got to do with it?
5179Proof?
5179Sapristi?
5179Shall we be friends?"
5179She accepts our terms?"
5179She must go out, and-- do what?
5179Should they have met under such circumstances-- God only knows-- What would you advise me to do, Signor Giovacchino?"
5179Signor Fortini, would you have the kindness to let him understand that I am not in a condition to see anybody?"
5179Sing at the Marchese?
5179Suddenly he asked her,"When was the Marchese Ludovico here last?"
5179Suppose some designing woman were to make the attempt?"
5179Surely she was not jealous still, after all the good reasons for not being so, that she had so conclusively pointed out to herself?
5179Surely there never was so absurdly, so grossly, vain a creature, as that Conte Leandro?
5179The Cardinal Legate was expecting him at one o''clock, and-- would it be best to drive Bianca from his mind till afterwards?
5179The Marchese Ludovico is an acquaintance of yours and of the Signorina Paolina, is he not?"
5179The Marchese put out his hand to assist her to alight, as he added,--"Perhaps you will allow these gentlemen to return in your carriage, Signora?
5179The Marchese?
5179The Signorina Paolina I suppose was with you at the theatre?"
5179The friar--""Impossible?
5179The higher he stood, would not his fall be the more terrible?
5179The opera did not go badly, did it?
5179The question is, What did she do then, when she saw what was so well calculated to throw her into a frenzy of jealousy?
5179The whole society which had looked up to him as some one altogether above the sphere of human frailties and follies: how could he face them?
5179This is the truth, is it not?"
5179To Venice?"
5179To whom would the death of this unfortunate woman be profitable?
5179Ugh, what a distance; why, it is at the other end of the town?"
5179Vanity?
5179Was he in love with this woman?
5179Was he merely playing with her?
5179Was it not likely to be genuine,--that feeling that she could not be to him what she had been to others?
5179Was it not sufficient for him to will that it should be so?
5179Was it not, to all appearance, due to him that the Diva had never condescended to cast a glance on either him or his poetry?
5179Was it that he hastened to acquire such an authority over Bianca, as might enable him to put an end to any such escapades for the future?
5179Was it yesterday?"
5179Was it yet too late?
5179Was she mad?
5179Was such a supposition in any wise credible, or admissible?
5179Was there, he thought to himself, as the terror of this made him shudder-- was there that night in all Ravenna so miserable a being as himself?
5179Was this a plausible or a possible theory?
5179We are surely a long way from that yet?"
5179We are to be friends, you know, and speak frankly to each other; do you expect it, Paolina?"
5179We can call at the Palazzo Castelmare on our way, and ask the Marchese for it?"
5179We know all about that; but what is the good of going back upon it?"
5179We know that Signor Ercole Stadione is as good a judge of the merits of the lady as of the singer?"
5179We shall often meet here, shall we not?"
5179We were all young once upon a time, eh, Signora Orsola?
5179Were then the old witchcraft and philtre tales really true?
5179Were there any persons in the city who might be supposed to feel enmity or ill- will towards the singer?
5179Were you aware of the existence of these things here?"
5179What I want to know, is what sort of a scenic presence has she?
5179What am I to do, what am I to do?
5179What am I to do?--gracious heaven, what am I to do?"
5179What am I to understand?
5179What are you talking of; and what are you dreaming of?
5179What but the sudden spontaneous rush of the conviction that it was she who had done the deed on which you were looking?"
5179What can I be wanted for?
5179What can I imagine?
5179What can I tell them?
5179What can I tell?
5179What can have become of her?"
5179What can it be necessary to examine me for?
5179What commands have you then to give me?"
5179What conceivable motive could have existed to--""What motive?
5179What could avail any nonsense she or her pretended father might talk of him?
5179What could she say more, I should like to know?
5179What did he want there now?
5179What did he want with more?
5179What did we come here then for?"
5179What do you say to an ode, now, on the rising of a new constellation on the shores of the Adriatic?
5179What do you say to that, Signor Commissary?
5179What do you think took him out of the city that morning of the first day in Lent?
5179What does it mean, Ludovico mio?
5179What does it mean?
5179What doubt could remain, then, as to the alternative?
5179What doubt of the atrocious nature of his designs and intentions towards her?
5179What had he done?
5179What harm have I ever done her?"
5179What has happened to vex you?"
5179What has music done for me?
5179What has occurred to put such notions into your mind all of a sudden?"
5179What has put it into my head, you say?
5179What have we to do with misunderstandings that may have arisen at Milan?
5179What if he never saw Bianca again?
5179What if such was the perfectly unhesitating judgment and declaration of the medical authorities?
5179What if-- Love, free as air, at sight of human ties, Shakes his light wings, and in a moment flies?
5179What in the world do you like, or what do you want?"
5179What is her game?"
5179What is it that has annoyed you, amore mio?"
5179What is it that you have got into your head?"
5179What is it this time?"
5179What is it you imagine?"
5179What is it you mean?"
5179What is it you wish?
5179What is it, Ludovico mio?
5179What is it?
5179What is it?
5179What is more likely?
5179What is more likely?"
5179What is she like?
5179What is she like?"
5179What is she to you?"
5179What is the old frate like?"
5179What is the use of it?
5179What is there she could not sing?"
5179What is there within my power that I would not do?
5179What is your report to us Gentiles of the outer court?
5179What more could be wanted?
5179What news?
5179What on earth could he have been about all the time?
5179What other human being can have had any ill- will against this woman, or any interest in destroying her?
5179What proof have we of the fact?
5179What put it into your head to choose the old story- teller for a model?
5179What say to them?
5179What shall tire my patience?
5179What should Ludovico faint for?"
5179What should happen to her?
5179What spell had come over him?
5179What strange notion is misleading you?
5179What was all else that he desired to be put in comparison with that raging, craving desire that he felt and sickened with for her?
5179What was all the world to the ecstasy of such a love?
5179What was he to do?--what was he to do?
5179What was he to understand by it?
5179What was her feeling on the subject?
5179What was it moved you to that exclamation?"
5179What was it?
5179What was the meaning of that?
5179What was the meaning of the averted face, and of that broken off"but--"which she had found it so difficult to follow with a completed sentence?
5179What was the real meaning of all this?
5179What was the success, which had been very unmistakably so far achieved, in reality worth?
5179What was the thought in your mind, Signor Marchese, that prompted that exclamation?
5179What was the thought that led you to do so?
5179What was the worst penalty wo nt to follow from such peccadilloes to persons in his position?
5179What was then the thought that was in your mind?
5179What way is that?
5179What were those men,--those empty creatures whose gold could not repay the disgust occasioned by their presence, what were they to me?
5179What will be done to me?"
5179What woman is likely to have been there?"
5179What would be said or thought of him?
5179What would be thought, or guessed, or said, if he were suddenly to refuse to hold any further communication with her?
5179What would they all say and think?
5179What would they say about it in the Via Santa Eufemia if he were to bow down to new and strange goddesses?"
5179What''but''can come between us, if there is no such doubt to come between us?"
5179What, in the name of all the saints, could he be doing out there at that time, when all honest folks were in their beds?"
5179What-- what was the fatal power this fearful woman had over him?
5179When do you suppose you will be ready to bring the affair to a trial?"
5179When is she to arrive?"
5179When last?
5179Where and when did you see us?"
5179Where are you?
5179Where did you part with her?"
5179Where did you part with the lady?"
5179Where does that road go to, Padre?
5179Where does that turning to the left go?"
5179Where had he been?"
5179Where she is?
5179Where was it gone?
5179Where will you find another to do as much?"
5179Where''s the harm?
5179Which of the three has done the deed?"
5179Who is the lady on his arm?
5179Who knew what might happen?
5179Who knows who has been employed to examine the body?"
5179Who on earth could ever have told you so monstrous an untruth?
5179Who would dream of interfering with your management of them?
5179Who would have liked it in her place, I ask you?
5179Who would have thought a short month ago that such a life could have so ended?"
5179Why could she not let him, as Quinto Lalli had expressed it, have his Venetian in peace?
5179Why did the frate return from the Pineta in such a state of terror, agitation, and horror?
5179Why does she keep us all at a distance?
5179Why face them at all?
5179Why had not Paolina become Ludovico''s mistress before this time?
5179Why had she done so?
5179Why had she thus changed her purpose?
5179Why in heaven''s name did he let that slip out?"
5179Why may not the same mortified vanity that incited him to play the spy, have moved him to take deadly vengeance on the woman he hated so bitterly?
5179Why may she not have put herself to death?"
5179Why not leave all, and make a new world for himself and the one dear companion of it?
5179Why not leave all, and seize a happiness so infinitely greater than any he had ever known or imagined?
5179Why not let them have such an innocent enjoyment?
5179Why not marry her, and be hers for ever, as she was anxious to be his?
5179Why not?
5179Why not?
5179Why not?
5179Why should I cause further trouble, and sorrow, and shame, to others?
5179Why should I--?
5179Why should he hate her?
5179Why should she hate you?"
5179Why should she kill herself?
5179Why should she think of me-- or of anybody else, except the primo tenore, who was singing with her?
5179Why, do n''t you see that I am unable to leave my chamber-- shall probably never leave it again; how can I be present in court?
5179Why, do you think he''d ever have come near my mistress a second time if he could have helped himself?
5179Why, in the name of all the saints, should it be likely?
5179Why, then, did not matters proceed harmoniously and smoothly between them?
5179Why--""Is she any relative of yours, Signora, the Signorina Paolina Foscarelli?"
5179Will you believe me, Signor Ludovico, that I would do a good deal and bear a good deal to be able to conduce to your happiness in any way?"
5179Will you do this for me?"
5179Will you honour my poor house, Signor Barone, by tasting what there is in the cellar?
5179Wo n''t that do?"
5179Would any governors, or fathers, or uncles, or aunts, or commissaries, interfere to prevent him from doing as he pleased in such a matter?"
5179Would it be equally applicable to a lady, I wonder?"
5179Would it be likely, I ask you, Signor Dottore, that the Marchese took the box for me?"
5179Would it not be the best thing in the world for you if she were never heard of again?"
5179Would it not have been better for you if you had never seen poor Paolina?"
5179Would it not have seemed a clear case to any one?"
5179Would it seem presumption in a poor comedian to express her earnest wish that you, too, Signor Ludovico, may find your happiness in such a marriage?"
5179Would not a little sun be pleasant this bright morning?
5179Would not her presence be unwelcome?
5179Would she not have all the appearance of having followed them purposely from motives of jealousy?
5179Would that be her idea of a marriage with the Marchese di Castelmare?
5179Would there not be something of indelicacy even in thus following one who evidently preferred being with another?
5179Would you desire a better subject?
5179Would you not, in that case, make exactly the assertions that you now make?
5179You are going to tell me what you have been able to learn, eh?"
5179You call him an old man?
5179You can say yes or no to the question, whether you have succeeded in our object?"
5179You come to offer us your guess, your suggestion?"
5179You could not have mistaken the identity?
5179You could not recognise it again with certainty?"
5179You did not come to make your report to us here at once?
5179You did not want Ludovico, as you call him, to love you, did you?"
5179You do n''t think that, do you, Signor Dottore?"
5179You do not doubt, darling, do you?"
5179You do trust me, non e vero?
5179You have got that little memorandum of articles--?"
5179You have heard of the murder, of course?"
5179You know the nature of the creatures better than I do; what do you think about it?"
5179You look the part to perfection, it is true; but what is that thing you have got in your hand?"
5179You were going to say just now that you saw me with Bianca Lalli, were you not?
5179You will begin, then, by telling him--?"
5179You will come out of this dreadful business scatheless, Signor Marchese, I thank God for it?"
5179You will let me see you to- morrow?"
5179You''ll come back and tell us all about it, Manutoli?"
5179a case of jealousy, I suppose?
5179and how did it come about?"
5179and, if he were condemned, on whose head would fall the blame of the disgrace which would thus overwhelm the family name?
5179could it be?
5179did he love her?
5179do you think that likely?"
5179he said, as he sat down;"why should I pain you?
5179he said, at last;"and what, in the name of all the Saints, is the Venetian girl to you, or you to her?
5179he wants to marry the Venetian, does he?"
5179how is it possible that such a thought should enter into your head?
5179it is-- Signor Fortini, is it not a dead body they are carrying?
5179my only one?"
5179non e vero?"
5179or is a bilious fit in the more immediate future bolgia fearful enough?"
5179returned Manutoli;"I do n''t need to be told that she is a very lovely woman; but of what sort is she?
5179said the lay- brother, in the true spirit of monastic philosophy;"why should it?
5179said the old groom coaxingly;"if so be as the woman is dead, what is the use of any more ado about it?"
5179said the uncle in a similar tone;"but what were you going to say?"
5179she added,--"did I try to make him love me?
5179she exclaimed, looking up at him with an ecstasy of joy, and yet with a great terror upon her face;"but what will happen-- what will happen to you?
5179she sings--?"
5179that''s where he is supping, then?"
5179what a bore?
5179what have we here?"
5179what though''tis Lenten- tide?
5179what was before him?
5179what were Cardinals, and Crosses, and place and station, or all the world beside, to one half- hour in those arms?
5179what, the old man?"
5179why impossible, Signor Marchese?
5179why they are engaged to be married,"almost shrieked poor Signora Orsola;"has not your lordship heard that they are engaged to be married?"
5179will she not have a better right to your love than I?"
5179would not that show you, that there is a difference between ways of loving?"
63223A Montague and Capulet affair?
63223A draft? 63223 A written message?"
63223About the Japanese Ambassador?
63223About what?
63223After you had discovered the loss of the plans?
63223Ah, indeed; where is Mr. Winthrop now?
63223Ah, then you do_ not_ think the negro coachman, Hamilton, guilty?
63223Alone?
63223And afterward?
63223And afterwards?
63223And do you think I am less so?
63223And if I do n''t?
63223And is that all you have to go upon for such an accusation?
63223And that nation?
63223And what did he say to that statement?
63223And what did you and Annette, Miss Thornton''s French maid, discuss before you left here?
63223And what does she look like?
63223And what has the woman to say in the matter?
63223And what was discovered?
63223And where were you between the hours of nine- thirty and twelve?
63223And you found her----?
63223And you think?
63223And your reasons?
63223And your theory is?
63223Anyone been to see me or telephoned, Jonas?
63223Anything to drink around here?
63223Are n''t you going to speak to_ me_?
63223Are the detectives still hanging around the house?
63223Are you feeling better, dear?
63223Are you sure the room is unoccupied?
63223At what hour did he go?
63223At what hour did you reach his apartment?
63223At what hour was that?
63223Aye, what?
63223Before or after the Spaniard had been here?
63223But the motive?
63223But what,pulling himself up,"what has that unfortunate girl''s death to do with me?"
63223By the way, who is this Miss Thornton?
63223By whose hand?
63223Ca n''t give a poor blasted Englishman a point on the situation, I suppose?
63223Ca n''t you administer it surreptitiously?
63223Ca n''t you give her an opiate?
63223Can I see the letters?
63223Can I talk to your niece, Miss Cynthia Carew?
63223Can not you imagine that for yourself?
63223Can you dine with me, Douglas?
63223Can you stay here all night?
63223Captain Lane,wheeling around,"why have you returned to this house at so early an hour in the morning?"
63223Come, Brett, what theory have you formed?
63223Come, now, did n''t you break some rules when in Japan?
63223Could anyone have slipped past you and Colonel Thornton when you stood waiting in the hallway for the gas to evaporate?
63223Could you hear what was said?
63223Dead?
63223Did Annette commit suicide, or was she killed by human or supernatural agency?
63223Did Captain Lane spend the evening with you and Colonel Thornton?
63223Did Nicodemus inform you that the maid was here?
63223Did Senator Carew call on you on Monday night?
63223Did Senator Carew give you a letter to mail yesterday afternoon, or a note to deliver for him?
63223Did anyone accompany you?
63223Did anyone else know that he was there?
63223Did anyone see you in the dining room last night?
63223Did he find the carriage?
63223Did he give you his name?
63223Did he see your maid?
63223Did he show you a letter which he was then writing?
63223Did he state the nature of that business?
63223Did he take luncheon here?
63223Did he wish her to marry Philip Winthrop?
63223Did n''t you ask his name?
63223Did no one see him slip out of the door into the hall?
63223Did she and Fred Lane patch up their quarrel?
63223Did she ever insinuate that he had something to do with the murder of Senator Carew?
63223Did she say nothing to you then about having moved down on your floor?
63223Did she speak to Colonel Thornton or to Miss Eleanor before moving into the room?
63223Did the Senator state what he wished to see me about?
63223Did the bolt and lock work stiffly?
63223Did the footman or butler notice anything in his hand when he left the house?
63223Did the room have no other exit except the one door leading to the hall?
63223Did this lover''s quarrel take place_ before_ Senator Carew''s death?
63223Did you discover any evidence of a struggle or marks of violence about the woman''s person?
63223Did you ever know anyone in Georgetown named Douglas Hunter?
63223Did you find the windows of the room also bolted when you entered?
63223Did you follow Senator Carew''s advice?
63223Did you get any information from Annette yesterday?
63223Did you know your maid was sleeping in the southwest chamber?
63223Did you meet with any success, Mr. Hunter, in the inquiries you said you would make this afternoon?
63223Did you not see them arrive?
63223Did you see Miss Thornton again?
63223Did you see Senator Carew after that?
63223Did you see Senator Carew before his death?
63223Did you see Senator Carew leave the house yesterday afternoon?
63223Did you see Senator Carew?
63223Did you see all three of them?
63223Did you see anyone leave this room, Joshua?
63223Did you see him alone, or were others present?
63223Did you see the envelope?
63223Did you think to examine the landau? 63223 Did you?"
63223Did-- did she have beefsteak and fried onions this morning?
63223Do n''t you think, Mr. Secretary, that there is danger of being too secretive, and that the guilty party may slip through our fingers?
63223Do you believe his statements?
63223Do you believe it?
63223Do you honestly mean that you think Lane deliberately put the girl he loved into the carriage to sit beside the man he had just murdered?
63223Do you know how long Senator Carew and young Winthrop remained in this room?
63223Do you know if she had lost money?
63223Do you know on what grounds they arrested Fred Lane for the murder of Senator Carew?
63223Do you know the time?
63223Do you mean to say that you did not investigate further?
63223Do you really think that supernatural means caused her death?
63223Do you refer to the Diplomatic Corps?
63223Do you still cling to the theory that she met her death because some one was afraid of what she would tell you to- day?
63223Do you think I''m going to sit here and listen to aspersions on my niece''s character?
63223Do you think a penny would bring me any comfort?
63223Do you think he was an American?
63223Do you think him guilty?
63223Do you use portières?
63223Do you wish to kill off the Corps bodily? 63223 Does she want me for anything in particular?"
63223Does the Senator really think to marry?
63223Douglas Hunter? 63223 Five thousand dollars;"then, noting Thornton''s expression, asked:"You think it too much?"
63223For what reason?
63223Formed any new theory?
63223Fred Lane, of the Engineer Corps?
63223Got any, Nicodemus?
63223Happiness?
63223Has Captain Lane been here yet?
63223Has Cynthia been told of Annette''s death?
63223Has Hamilton a lawyer to look out for his interests?
63223Has Mrs. Winthrop consented to Miss Carew''s spending to- morrow at your house?
63223Has it occurred to you that Senator Carew''s missing letter, which Brett is so anxious to find, may have been addressed to you?
63223Has she been despondent of late?
63223Has she been with you long?
63223Has such a letter been found by Brett?
63223Has your maid had an unfortunate love affair?
63223Have a sandwich?
63223Have you any brandy?
63223Have you any idea where Senator Carew dined and spent the evening?
63223Have you any idea where Senator Carew dined the night of his death?
63223Have you any idea, Joshua, what caused the quarrel yesterday afternoon?
63223Have you everything you wish, Mademoiselle Eleanor?
63223Have you had a pleasant time this afternoon, Kate?
63223Have you had your lunch, Wyndham?
63223Have you heard the shocking news of Senator Carew''s--she hesitated for a moment--"tragic death?"
63223Have you inquired at the different messenger services in town?
63223Have you met with any success?
63223Have you searched Carew''s belongings?
63223Have you seen Miss Eleanor?
63223Have you such a desk set, Eleanor?
63223He was n''t?
63223Heard the news?
63223Heart action?
63223How comes it, then, that you allowed gas pipes to be placed in the room?
63223How did Senator Carew get into that carriage?
63223How did the Senator know where a note would reach you?
63223How did you come to put the maid in that room?
63223How did you discover Senator Carew was dead, Miss Thornton?
63223How did you get here?
63223How did you know I had been to see you, Chisholm?
63223How did you know it?
63223How did you leave Cynthia?
63223How do you know he is n''t hiding somewhere?
63223How do you know it was Miss Thornton?
63223How have you been since I saw you last, Miss Thornton?
63223How is Cynthia?
63223How late did you stay there?
63223How long do you think she had been dead before you reached her?
63223How long have you been with Senator Carew, Joshua?
63223How long was he with Miss Carew?
63223How long were your wife and her friends in this office?
63223How much do you wish made public?
63223How much?
63223How so?
63223How so?
63223How the devil can I get it open? 63223 How, then, did he get his own carriage?"
63223How-- what killed her?
63223How?
63223How?
63223How?
63223I called to see Mr. Brett; is he here?
63223I do n''t catch your meaning?
63223I had the dream Sunday night,sobbed Cynthia,"then Monday, when I thought we could announce our engagement----""Whose engagement?"
63223I hope you can give me a few minutes of your time,said Brett;"will you be so good as to step into the library?"
63223I must first tell you that my mother was Nora Fitzgerald----"The famous actress?
63223If he could n''t get a cab, why did he not call up his own house and send for his carriage earlier in the evening?
63223Impossible? 63223 In searching the room did you discover any secret passages leading to it?"
63223In what way does Mrs. Winthrop need my services?
63223In what way?
63223In your opinion would a person locking the door and shooting the bolt into place make enough noise to awaken the sleeper?
63223Indeed? 63223 Indeed?
63223Indeed?
63223Indeed?
63223Inquest?
63223Is Hamilton still in jail?
63223Is Mr. Winthrop a heavy drinker?
63223Is Soto a Jap?
63223Is any house being built in this neighborhood?
63223Is he an old family servant?
63223Is it all over?
63223Is it not pitiful?
63223Is n''t it?
63223Is she a good servant?
63223Is she better?
63223Is that all?
63223Is that enough to convict?
63223Is that so?
63223Is that why Senator Carew objected to her engagement to Captain Lane?
63223Is that your only reason for believing the negro innocent?
63223Is the letter file missing?
63223Is there a branch telephone in the house?
63223Is there any way of entering the room by a window?
63223Is there anything I can do for you?
63223Is there anything which strikes you as being of vital importance in the case which has not yet been brought out?
63223Is there such a thing as a long scaling ladder on the premises?
63223It is_ you_, Philip?
63223It were dis- away, suh; jes''befo''dinnah she cum ter me an''Sophy an''say she doan like de room in de third flo''----"Why not?
63223Joshua, is this Miss Thornton''s maid?
63223Mademoiselle is more comfortable,_ n''est- ce pas?_she asked briskly.
63223May I ask why you take such an interest in this case?
63223May I ask you why you thought such precautions necessary?
63223May we see the new charts of the Pacific?
63223Miss Eleanor, why does she refuse to see me?
63223Miss Thornton, is she in?
63223Miss Thornton,--the Secretary bent forward impressively,--"were you engaged to Senator Carew?"
63223Miss Thornton,facing her directly,"have you formed any theory as to how your maid came to be asphyxiated?"
63223Mr. Winthrop,asked Douglas, breaking the short silence,"were you and your uncle always on good terms?"
63223Mrs. Winthrop,the detective spoke with greater distinctness,"was Senator Carew on good terms with all the members of his family?"
63223My thoughts? 63223 Nicodemus, is that you?"
63223No; why should he? 63223 No?
63223Now, Mr. Brett, what do you wish to ask me?
63223Now, what the devil do you mean?
63223Of course I received it-- why otherwise should I be here?
63223Of which crime?
63223Oh, is he the tall, fine- looking man I saw talking to Joshua in the hall yesterday morning?
63223Oh, why did n''t you come to me?
63223Oh, why did you stop?
63223One thousand dollars, did you say,_ Monsieur_? 63223 Reward?"
63223Shall I retire?
63223So Mrs. Winthrop took the word of a worthless servant, the better to humiliate me...."Had Annette any grounds for her accusation?
63223So you believe the people of Panama are already dissatisfied with their president?
63223So you brought Annette with you?
63223Solid?
63223Tell me what leads you to think that?
63223Tell me, dearest, how did you happen to select a ruby?
63223That was the Japanese Ambassador, was it not?
63223That''s very good of you, sir,Douglas hesitated,"but do n''t you think I might be in the way in a family party?"
63223The room is very dark, wo n''t you light another burner, Douglas?
63223Then how did she come to be occupying the other room?
63223Then suppose we make it Monday night at the Metropolitan Club?
63223Then where did you spend it?
63223Then who is that?
63223Then why was a drop light fastened to the wall bracket by the side of the bed?
63223Then would you mind asking Captain Lane to come down, Miss Thornton? 63223 Then you deny running out after his carriage, which Mr. Winthrop declares you did?"
63223Then you think it likely that he dined with some of his official colleagues?
63223Then you think the time is ripe for carrying out your scheme?
63223Then you were not expecting her?
63223Then you will take the case?
63223Then your niece is thoroughly acquainted with this building?
63223Then, how was it that he was driving the carriage last night?
63223Then_ no_ one knew she was occupying that room except you and Sophy?
63223They? 63223 To do_ what_?"
63223To whom did you make such a promise?
63223To whom do you think that letter was written?
63223To- morrow-- will you go with me to- morrow?
63223Uncle James, are you trying to play a practical joke?
63223Unoccupied?
63223Was Annette in the house?
63223Was Senator Carew irritable and quick- tempered?
63223Was he well dressed?
63223Was it very dreadful at the cemetery?
63223Was it your brother''s custom not to inform you where he was dining?
63223Was n''t that rather an unusual hour for him to stay?
63223Was that the first time that Senator Carew and Mr. Winthrop have quarreled?
63223Was the door locked on the_ inside_?
63223Was there anything unusual in Senator Carew''s manner?
63223Was there-- was there-- an autopsy?
63223Was this drawer locked when your strange visitor was admitted?
63223Well, my dear, may I come in?
63223Well, what about him?
63223Well, what then?
63223Well, what then?
63223Were they stolen from this office?
63223What about the threatening letters to Senator Carew which Mrs. Winthrop thought I sent?
63223What are they?
63223What became of him?
63223What brought back your memory?
63223What callers did you see besides the Spaniard?
63223What caused Miss Carew''s indisposition?
63223What did I tell you?
63223What did he look like?
63223What did he want with you?
63223What did my niece do, besides standing still and looking up and down the street?
63223What did the file look like?
63223What did you do next?
63223What did you do then?
63223What did you mean,he asked,"by saying this afternoon that Senator Carew told you he could help you to bring your quest to a successful conclusion?"
63223What do you make out of it?
63223What do you mean?
63223What do you mean?
63223What do you think caused her death?
63223What do you think of it?
63223What does the doctor mean by letting you come out?
63223What happened?
63223What have the Americans on their conscience that they can not sleep in the morning?
63223What is all this I am told about the southwest chamber being haunted?
63223What is it you wish to know?
63223What is the matter with him?
63223What is the meaning of this?
63223What is your dream?
63223What is----?
63223What luck did you have with Mrs. Winthrop, Uncle Dana?
63223What luck did you meet with?
63223What makes you think that?
63223What members of the family were in the house yesterday afternoon?
63223What news to- day, Annette?
63223What news?
63223What on earth was her object in making such a statement?
63223What shall I do?
63223What sort of a fellow is Lane?
63223What was Captain Lane doing here last night?
63223What was it about the door that caused her to scream?
63223What was its contents?
63223What was the exact trouble between Senator Carew and Governor Lane, Cousin Kate?
63223What was your object in going there?
63223What were they?
63223What were you saying, Cousin Kate?
63223What''s all this questioning about?
63223What''s that in your hand?
63223What''s that?
63223What''s your plan, Uncle Dana?
63223What, a bribe?
63223What, in this weather, Kate?
63223What-- you do n''t mean----?
63223What?
63223What?
63223When did Miss Thornton enter the house?
63223When did that happen?
63223When did this conversation take place?
63223When did this happen?
63223When did you arrive in Washington?
63223When did you discover the plans of the battleships were missing?
63223When did you last see your maid?
63223When did you leave this house?
63223When may I call on you?
63223Where are you stopping?
63223Where did Carew spend the evening?
63223Where did he get the weapon?
63223Where did you last see Senator Carew?
63223Where do you keep this desk set?
63223Where do you wish to go, Miss Thornton?
63223Where has she gone?
63223Where in the world did you see him?
63223Where in thunder are the matches?
63223Where is Aunt Charlotte?
63223Where is Miss Eleanor?
63223Where is Philip?
63223Where is the Senator this evening?
63223Where is your room?
63223Where shall we go, Uncle Dana?
63223Where''s Eleanor?
63223Who gave her that information?
63223Who has been in the hall besides yourself?
63223Who has rooms on the next floor?
63223Who opened the door into the library a few moments ago?
63223Who was it?
63223Who would commit such a deed? 63223 Who-- who are you, and where in hell did you come from?"
63223Who-- who-- is it?
63223Whom do you wish to see?
63223Whom-- whom-- do they suspect?
63223Why did you avoid me in Paris?
63223Why did you leave Paris without saying good- bye to me?
63223Why did you not come forward with this information then?
63223Why did you not go at once to see Senator Carew when you arrived in Washington?
63223Why did you not send me this information before?
63223Why did you wish him to keep his visit here a secret, Miss Thornton?
63223Why do n''t you investigate her past, Brett? 63223 Why do you take an interest in a man with blue eyes and black hair?"
63223Why have n''t you been to see me, Douglas?
63223Why not?
63223Why so? 63223 Why this sudden interest in my great- great- grandfather?"
63223Why, certainly,exclaimed Winthrop, with well simulated heartiness;"wo n''t you both sit down?"
63223Why, what do you mean?
63223Why, why did she do it?
63223Why?
63223Why?
63223Why?
63223Will you both be seated?
63223Will you have an ice or sandwich?
63223Will you join me?
63223Will you please explain to me,broke in Fred Lane,"why Mrs. Winthrop swore out a warrant for my arrest?
63223With what results?
63223Would you have gone with me?
63223Would you mind stating what this quest is?
63223You are absolutely certain, Wyndham, that you have n''t been out of this office except on that one occasion?
63223You believe, then, that Senator Carew was murdered by his servant?
63223You called to see Secretary Wyndham at the Navy Department on Wednesday morning, did you not, Miss Thornton?
63223You do n''t think the draft blew out the gas?
63223You mean----?
63223You never took the trouble to make inquiries about me?
63223You recollect how it rained last night?
63223You think then that I am an acquired taste?
63223You were the first to enter the southwest chamber, were you not?
63223You wish to see me?
63223Zo?
63223_ Que hay?_inquired the Colombian of the proprietor.
63223A discreet tap sounded on the library door, and a muffled voice asked:"''Scuse me, but am Miss Eleanor in dar?"
63223And you?"
63223At what hour?"
63223Brett did not press the point, but asked instead:"Where did you spend last night?"
63223Brett?"
63223Brett?"
63223Brett?"
63223But how do you expect to alter his attitude?"
63223But how the devil did he accomplish it?"
63223But suppose he was drunk?
63223But the motive, man?"
63223By the way, is she any relation of yours?"
63223By the way, why did n''t you come to the telephone last night?
63223CHAPTER XVII THE MYSTERY DEEPENS"Where''s Brett?"
63223CHAPTER XVIII IN THE NAME OF THE LAW"Well, and what then?"
63223Can you arrange it for me?"
63223Can you arrange such a meeting?"
63223Can you come to us for a few days?
63223Can you help me meet her?"
63223Cynthia, Cynthia, had you so little faith?"
63223Dare he penetrate the mystery, or was he afraid to face the issue?
63223Did you get my note this morning?"
63223Did you watch the Senator leave the house?"
63223Do you know him?"
63223Do you remember the man''s name?"
63223Do you think otherwise?"
63223Does the dining room communicate with the drawing- room?"
63223Douglas, do you really think he was guilty?"
63223Douglas, do you recollect asking me about a man who you thought you saw with me in the elevator at the Navy Department on Wednesday?"
63223Had Mammon spoiled the old simplicity, and had Washington become but a suburb of New York and Chicago?
63223Had his faith been misplaced?
63223Have the ladies come yet?"
63223Have you a message for me?"
63223Have you any idea of the transports''destination?"
63223Have you any idea when the Senator left the house?"
63223How did you suppose?"
63223How long have the papers been in your possession, Wyndham?"
63223How much shall it be?"
63223How was it possible to have an accident under those circumstances?"
63223How would she greet him?
63223How''s Sophy?"
63223Hunter?"
63223Hunter?"
63223Hunter?"
63223Hunter?"
63223Hunter?"
63223I was taken completely by surprise by the man''s statement and asked:''What day did you expect to meet Senator Carew here?''
63223If so, how came he there?
63223If so, what, then, became of his own theory of an international intrigue?
63223Is Mrs. Truxton waiting to see me?"
63223Is n''t that Colonel Thornton beckoning to us over there?"
63223Is that gratitude?"
63223Mr. Hunter, are you coming down town?"
63223Must I eat that egg?"
63223Must you both be going?"
63223Not noticing his companion''s silence, the Englishman added,"Is she still hunting around looking up old files and records?"
63223Not the Douglas Hunter of the Diplomatic Corps, whom Uncle James was forever talking about?"
63223Or was it the sight of Eleanor Thornton, looking radiantly beautiful, which set his heart throbbing in a most unusual manner?
63223Owen?"
63223Secretary?"
63223Shall we walk over and join him?"
63223She surprised a look in Douglas''face-- why did he appear as if caught?
63223Suppose the man was a stranger?
63223Tell me, are there any new developments in the Carew case?"
63223Tell me, what information did Mrs. Winthrop supply which induced you to arrest Captain Lane?"
63223Their married life was unusually happy; therefore it was all the more incredible and tragic when one day he disappeared----""Disappeared?"
63223Then in a louder tone,"Well, Uncle Dana, how are you?"
63223Then perhaps you only saw the maid, Annette, when she was_ asleep_?"
63223Therefore, why not enjoy the goods the gods provided and be thankful?
63223Want ter go to yo''room, suh?"
63223Was Douglas taking sides against her?
63223Was his attack also caused by the shock of Uncle James''death?"
63223Was it murder or suicide?"
63223Was it possible that she could mean_ the_ Eleanor Thornton he used to know?
63223Was there to be no awakening?
63223Well, James, what is it?"
63223Well, Jones?"
63223Were you aware that Annette intended to sleep in the southwest chamber?"
63223Whar yo''at?"
63223What did I tell you?"
63223What did the Ambassador''s abrupt departure portend?
63223What did you want to say to me on the telephone, Dana?"
63223What earthly business is it of his?"
63223What good will Cynthia''s staying in that gloomy house do poor Carew?
63223What is he doing here now?"
63223What is it?"
63223What is the old gentleman''s name?"
63223What led her to believe me guilty?"
63223What was Captain Lane doing here?"
63223What was it that he had promised?
63223Where did you get such an idea?"
63223Where had she seen those eyes before?
63223Where on earth could it come from?
63223Who is the girl?"
63223Who quarreled?
63223Who swore out that warrant?"
63223Who?"
63223Who?"
63223Why are you giving me such weak tea, Eleanor?
63223Why are you packing, Annette?"
63223Why do you ask about Douglas?"
63223Why do you shun your friends?"
63223Why had his memory played him so scurvy a trick?
63223Why had she intervened?
63223Why have you waited all this time before mentioning that you think Miss Thornton guilty of Senator Carew''s murder?"
63223Why was he an outcast?
63223Will you be so kind as to ask your cousin, Mrs. Truxton, to step here for a few minutes?"
63223Will you please inform me what made that poor girl faint in the drawing- room?"
63223Winthrop nodded sullenly, then began:"You recollect that I spent Monday night at the Alibi Club, Brett?"
63223Winthrop?"
63223Winthrop?"
63223Winthrop?"
63223Wo n''t you come and see the rose garden with me?
63223You do n''t mean----?"
63223You have been going out a great deal this winter, have you not?"
63223You were the first to examine the dead woman upstairs; what do you think caused her death?"
63223he asked,"besides the one in the library?
63223in growing astonishment,"_ Annette_ told you I was indisposed and could not be disturbed?"
63223what on earth was she doing in the library at that hour?"
63223why did you take that sharp letter file with you?"
59369Ah, there, Bob, how are you?
59369And how much of it did Guido hear?
59369And if he murdered my brother-- how does the saying go? 59369 And never get around to publishing your findings?"
59369And that''s all we can find out?
59369And what alibi does the good Professor Kintyre have?
59369And what would you do, if you could n''t find them?
59369And when they go home?
59369Any other news?
59369Any special route, Doc?
59369Are n''t we all?
59369Are you Professor Robert Kintyre?
59369Are you certain?
59369Are you hurt?
59369Are you sure?
59369Are you sure?
59369Are you very tired?
59369Are you working tomorrow?
59369As what?
59369Been here long?
59369Bob, could you come talk to me? 59369 Bob, what happened?
59369Bob,asked Yamamura finally,"do you know anyone living on this side who''s mixed up in the affair?"
59369Bob? 59369 Bruce''s immediate family?"
59369Bruce?
59369But did you see two long gray cardboard boxes with files of papers? 59369 But do you think we could get away with holding him, unharmed, for maybe twenty- four hours?"
59369But how did you make it pay?
59369But what made him realize Miss Towne was--?
59369But who''s left? 59369 But why did you begin?
59369But why should he gamble his own precious hide? 59369 But you can guess, ca n''t you?
59369But-- but-- but--"Do I have to spell it out? 59369 But-- could it have been an accident, Bob?
59369Ca n''t you see it''s poison for you? 59369 Can I do anything to help?
59369Can we check that from here?
59369Can you finagle Jimmy across the bridge?
59369Can you imagine any reason why?
59369Can you make some kind of bandage for it? 59369 Care for a drop?"
59369Clayton? 59369 Clayton?"
59369Could you withhold any mention of Kintyre? 59369 Could you?"
59369Did anything else go on, this night?
59369Did he ever say anything which led you to believe that he might be in serious trouble?
59369Did n''t the questions Silenio was asking tell you something?
59369Did n''t we agree that if necessary he can probably buy a witness to account for a day or so absence? 59369 Did you help kill Bruce Lombardi?"
59369Did you know how much? 59369 Did you look in to make sure?"
59369Did you say there was a cop in the bar?
59369Did you see anyone dangerous in the audience?
59369Do I understand you rightly?
59369Do the police have a lead on Bruce''s murder?
59369Do we have to go on with this business?
59369Do we know them?
59369Do you know Point Perro?
59369Do you know what his room was like, the past half of a year, Professor?
59369Do you think maybe--?
59369Do you want to help Corinna, or do you want to get yourself sliced open for no purpose at all? 59369 Does it help you to feel superior, cat?"
59369Does it matter so much? 59369 Dr. Kintyre?
59369Drink?
59369Eh?
59369Even after he left home-- can you imagine the way he continued to watch over me? 59369 Ever been there?
59369Go where?
59369Good for him, but what has all this to do with Bruce?
59369Guido?
59369Has anything come of that?
59369Have you any proof of all this?
59369Have you figured out who''s behind the murders?
59369Have you heard that the son, Bruce, is dead?
59369He was a sort of handsome young chap, was n''t he? 59369 Hello?"
59369Helps, does n''t it?
59369Hey, how do you know all this?
59369Hm? 59369 Hm?"
59369Hm?
59369Hm?
59369How about a psychiatrist?
59369How about papers?
59369How are you? 59369 How come?"
59369How d''you like the place?
59369How did he come to die?
59369How do I know I wo n''t be hit by a car tomorrow? 59369 How do you know?"
59369How had he hurt you, that you had to let him be burned and twisted and killed?
59369How many houses in the Bay Area?
59369How much do you know?
59369How often must I tell you,_ relax_? 59369 How should I know?"
59369How was he doing? 59369 How, then, would he get in touch with an assassin?
59369How?
59369Huh? 59369 Huh?
59369Huh?
59369Huh?
59369Huh?
59369I admit I went down-- is uncompleted intent a crime? 59369 I called your home and you were n''t in, so I tried-- How are you?"
59369I certainly would n''t go accusing someone who--"Can you realize what Bruce meant to me?
59369I have a lot to thank you for, have n''t I? 59369 I liked him, yes, but love?
59369I never could--"Owens,said Clayton,"did you steal the book?"
59369I suppose you feel an obligation toward her?
59369I suppose you heard through the police?
59369I thought,he said,"I thought you wouldn''t--""Prefer charges?
59369I wonder where Clayton is right now?
59369If Clayton is so law- abiding on American soil, where could he dig up his butcher boys on such short notice?
59369In short,said Kintyre,"it''s possible he--""Did it personally?
59369Is he?
59369Is it like the kid to go tearing off that way? 59369 Is it that important?"
59369Is n''t that a problem for the district attorney?
59369Is that all?
59369Is that how you got hurt?
59369Is there anyone else?
59369It did n''t help him much, did it?
59369It''s just a seal, is n''t it, Miss Lombardi?
59369It''s only been-- two days? 59369 Just like that?"
59369Kintyre? 59369 Look, are you sitting and worrying about me?"
59369Man, I got to do something, do n''t I? 59369 Me?
59369Mind if I join you?
59369Mind if we look around to make sure?
59369Miss Lombardi, is n''t it?
59369Mr. Michaelis? 59369 Must I say it?"
59369Must you?
59369Need any help?
59369No one who could verify that Bruce was n''t lying bound and gagged?
59369No? 59369 Nobody glanced in, then?"
59369Not a hell of a lot, is it? 59369 Not good for his pride, is it?
59369Not one you could break? 59369 Now what?"
59369Oh, what did you find out about Owens?
59369Oh-- I do n''t know-- jealousy? 59369 Oh?
59369Oh? 59369 Oh?"
59369Oh?
59369Or could he? 59369 Or is it you who''s supposed to say that?
59369Put this junk away for me, will you, Trig?
59369Remember how he and I first met? 59369 Rough?"
59369Same symptoms?
59369So much cheaper than help, is n''t it? 59369 So where did you spend your weekend, Guido?"
59369So you''d like some of that too, would you?
59369So? 59369 So?"
59369So?
59369Solved the case yet?
59369State One? 59369 Suppose they came back and did n''t find you?
59369Surprised?
59369That he''s a crook? 59369 That''s all?
59369That''s not unheard of, but then why did they kill her afterward?
59369That''s right,she said,"you do go in for judo, do n''t you?
59369The police been after you too?
59369Their own office doors would n''t be locked, though?
59369Then why did you come tonight?
59369Then why do n''t you admit the facts? 59369 They''ll kill me if--""What use is your life to you right now?"
59369Think there''s a chance?
59369This evening? 59369 To you?"
59369Tough, are n''t you?
59369Tuesday?
59369We both loved him, did n''t we?
59369Well, in that case,he said,"d''you mind if I squire Miss Towne?"
59369Well,said Harries,"what does Kintyre think?"
59369Well?
59369Well?
59369Well?
59369Well?
59369Well?
59369Well?
59369Well?
59369Were you planning to?
59369Were you supposed to meet them at the house?
59369What are you finding out?
59369What are you going to do?
59369What are you interested in?
59369What are you talking about?
59369What are you thinking of?
59369What brings you here?
59369What business is it of yours, anyway?
59369What did the other man look like?
59369What did you do afterward?
59369What did you want him for?
59369What do we tell the cops?
59369What do you mean?
59369What do you plan to do?
59369What do you think?
59369What do you want to do?
59369What do you want?
59369What happened, and is she going to prefer charges?
59369What happened, then?
59369What happened?
59369What happened?
59369What happened?
59369What happens to me then?
59369What have we got?
59369What have we to hurry for?
59369What have you got to do with them?
59369What is it? 59369 What is it?"
59369What is it?
59369What is it?
59369What is it?
59369What kind of clothes did he ordinarily pick?
59369What makes you so certain?
59369What more? 59369 What rackets?
59369What rank were you? 59369 What the blue hell are you talking about?"
59369What the dev-- What in the world is there to apologize for?
59369What was he trying to do to Guido?
59369What was that?
59369What was that?
59369What was the reason for that?
59369What with?
59369What''d you go there for?
59369What''s between you and Gerald Clayton?
59369What''s going on in there? 59369 What''s going on?"
59369What''s happened?
59369What''s that?
59369What''s the matter with him, anyhow?
59369What''s the matter?
59369What''s the name?
59369What''s the trouble?
59369What''s wrong now?
59369What?
59369What?
59369What?
59369What?
59369What?
59369What?
59369What?
59369What?
59369What?
59369What?
59369What?
59369Whatever for?
59369When else? 59369 When was she killed?"
59369Where are our friends?
59369Where are we going?
59369Where are your keys? 59369 Where did he go?"
59369Where is anyone''s motive? 59369 Where is he?"
59369Where were you, Saturday afternoon through Monday morning?
59369Where would they go?
59369Where''d Junior go?
59369Where?
59369Where?
59369Which did you leave it in?
59369Who but you has a motive for the book to disappear?
59369Who did he call?
59369Who did he fool?
59369Who hired you, Jimmy?
59369Who?
59369Whose?
59369Why are you doing this?
59369Why did they murder him?
59369Why did you do it?
59369Why did you go to the Michaelises last night?
59369Why did you help them?
59369Why do n''t we go down to the station and explain it right now?
59369Why do you stay around here?
59369Why do you want to know?
59369Why ever should I?
59369Why must you know?
59369Why not try to drag down the witnesses against him? 59369 Why not?"
59369Why offer me the chance in the first place?
59369Why should he be?
59369Why should he?
59369Why? 59369 Why?"
59369Will they be back there now?
59369Will you call me as soon as-- anything happens? 59369 Will you order for me?"
59369Will you take my word that we ca n''t do it immediately?
59369Will you trust me a little bit?
59369With his whack- fol- de- diddle- di- day--"Were we that conspicuous coming in?
59369Wo n''t you join us here?
59369Would n''t he try to escape?
59369Would n''t it be a beautiful turnabout, to make himself look like the fall guy for his own scheme?
59369Would she know all about Bruce''s papers?
59369Would you put it in the safe?
59369Yes?
59369Yes?
59369Yes?
59369Yes?
59369You and he were pretty close, were n''t you?
59369You know what the old man done to me?
59369You mean to take this character to Berkeley, then? 59369 You off work now?"
59369You see?
59369You think it was a sadist?
59369You want a ticket?
59369You want to discover who killed Bruce? 59369 You would use sabers, would n''t you?"
59369You''re afraid to lose control, are n''t you? 59369 You''re making a pack trip into Kings Canyon, are n''t you?"
59369You''re not afraid of being arrested for the fight, are you? 59369 You''re not going there now?"
59369You''ve traveled a lot, have n''t you?
59369You?
59369( Did Maria''s years of being mostly alone in a dingy tenement, with nobody to love but one little boy, account for what Guido had become?)
59369( Why else should a busy man like Clayton hang around home?
59369( Will any hypothesis of yours explain why he changed his mind and spent more than twenty- four unproductive hours on this side?
59369*****"Was jewelry lifted this time?"
59369*****"What''s the matter?"
59369A million people sniggering over this new revelation about our family-- isn''t there going to be end to it, ever?"
59369A quarrel?
59369Actually?"
59369After another mile:"Or do you even need it any more?"
59369After the girl had brought their round, Guido said in a harsh tone, looking away from him:"Well, what is it?
59369Afterward--"What?
59369Age twenty- four, did you say?
59369Also: could that parcel of marijuana have been in the drawer by sheer coincidence?
59369And did a business rival then strike at Bruce?
59369And it''s a good deal better than sitting alone brooding, is n''t it?"
59369And there''s not much long- range difference, is there?"
59369And was there anything more irrelevant than the question of his guilt or innocence?
59369And we all have some such curse-- don''t we now?
59369And what do his pals do meanwhile?"
59369And what would the police think?"
59369And why?
59369Any witnesses?"
59369Anything at all?"
59369Applause crackled, abnormally loud for a place like this: did they clap the knife which had been drawn?
59369Are you hurt?"
59369But Bruce Lombardi was murdered, remember?"
59369But God damn all smug judokas, had n''t she earned the right?
59369But I ca n''t think of anything else._"Yes?"
59369But I have n''t much reason to stay here any longer, have I?"
59369But Michaelis is a cripple now, remember?
59369But a possible forty years?
59369But a signboard told him POINT PERRO, and who else would have come today?
59369But did he know that?
59369But he said,"Well, you ca n''t declare a vendetta, can you?"
59369But she''s pretty transparent, under all that careful sophistication, is n''t she?"
59369But take it easy, huh?
59369But that is not of immediate relevance._"What did you come for?"
59369But then today, how frightened he was--"What happened last night?"
59369But what can I do about it?
59369But what can we do?
59369But what could their motive have been in the first place?"
59369But what did Bruce and Clayton find to talk about?"
59369But what makes you think it will last, even long enough for you to collect on those investments?
59369But what of it?
59369But what was in Bruce''s background?
59369But will you listen?"
59369But--""But why?
59369Can I have a drink?"
59369Can you fill in the meantime?"
59369Can you think of any of his friends at the University who are n''t eliminated by the same reasoning?"
59369Chicago?
59369Clayton?
59369Clayton?"
59369Corinna exclaimed:"You learned something?"
59369Corinna had been taken-- when?
59369Corinna spat as if at an enemy:"What did you do to him?"
59369Could n''t she simply have gone out?"
59369Could we get together in person?"
59369Could you walk in her door and say:"Hello, I still subscribe to the why- buy- a- cow philosophy so be careful, now you may weep on my shoulder"?
59369Did Bruce steer him onto something big?
59369Did I indeed hurt my arm and my head in that fracas?
59369Did he catch the unsubstantial wisp of a chuckle?
59369Did he wear glasses?"
59369Did you get overseas in the Army?"
59369Did you know he offered Bruce five thousand dollars to withhold his findings?
59369Dig me?
59369Dig?
59369Do they know_ everything_?"
59369Do you seriously believe he cares about these old books?
59369Do you think you could identify him for us?
59369Do you want to go the rest of your life being afraid?"
59369Does the phone office keep records of such things?
59369Drink?"
59369Ever hear of citizen''s arrest?"
59369Finally the second one exclaimed:''How could you, a monk, take up a woman in your arms?''
59369First, Larkin might well be hanging around, and why should he be helped by seeing a lot of uniforms and realizing what had happened to his buddy?
59369For instance, was Luigi already so well informed as to be dangerous?
59369Got any tranquilizers on hand?"
59369Grief?
59369Guido said with a certain boy- eagerness:"Who knew him best?
59369Had anyone come into his room in the past twenty minutes?
59369Had he spotted her car outside the house?
59369Had she simply been murdered, or was she tied down first?"
59369Have n''t you been enough of a jinx to him?
59369Have you any idea what it might have been?"
59369Have you any information on Bruce''s later movements?"
59369He asked Guido:"What other jobs did you do for these men?
59369He dared not assume anything except that Guido and I had O''Hearn-- where?
59369He gave Kintyre a straight look, smiled, and went on:"Why do n''t you sit down and talk to me, though?
59369He had spoken truth; but it gave Margery the chance to relate a few truths of her own, if she chose, and what might come of that?
59369He looked up( was his color a shade more rubicund?)
59369He said aloud-- very loudly,"What the devil do you want?"
59369He said, hearing his voice like another man''s:"Can you push this car back up to ninety going onward?"
59369He wanted to help her, if he could-- double damnation, had n''t he tried before?
59369He was seeing a good deal of you also, was n''t he?"
59369He was your chance at emotional security, was n''t he?
59369He went to X, I suppose-- with-- a warning?
59369He, the animated cash register?)
59369Hesitantly:"Do you think I could drop up to your office, then?
59369Hey, what''s going on?"
59369His dark gaze did not waver from Kintyre''s, and he said quite steadily:"What are you getting at?"
59369How about other people with offices there?"
59369How could he know Guido?
59369How could there be?
59369How d''you know they do n''t need us back in town?"
59369How deep was it where Clayton laired?
59369How do you mean?"
59369How goes it?"
59369How much like Norman Vincent Peale is one man allowed to sound?
59369How would they know where to take her, except some such randomly learned- about spot as this?
59369How would you find the pros?"
59369Huh-- a week ago last Sunday-- didn''t he mention something about having gone across the Bay to see you?"
59369I hardly think you belong to the Church any more, do you?"
59369I have n''t seen Larkin or O''Hearn since, and what''re they thinking I said?"
59369I imagine Larkin is too, though enough more valuable to go with Silenio-- where?"
59369I was an assistant bucking for an instructorship, he was a freshman with a major in my department-- history, did I tell you?
59369I was so busy fighting myself._"What did you do over the weekend?"
59369I''d planned to, but-- Are you in any hurry?"
59369I''m a waterfront kid, I know some old places where you could get in and--""Would they know about it?"
59369I''m sorry, it''s a shabby way to treat you, but do you think something like this can wait?"
59369If Clayton was guilty, why should Clayton disappear?
59369If I do n''t make with it tonight, the man will ignite me, and what good would that do Bruce?"
59369If you loved Bruce too--""Did I?"
59369In the next few days, you mean?
59369Is love ever a sin?"
59369Is n''t it obvious, Trig?
59369Is n''t that exactly the sort of thing which would stick in Bruce''s mind?"
59369Is n''t that it?"
59369Is n''t that pretty irregular?
59369Is n''t that taking quite a risk?"
59369Is n''t that the motto of this whole civilization?
59369Is n''t this a nice one?"
59369It came up_ à propos des bottes_ in my office, when you and he and I were discussing the Book of Witches, did n''t it?
59369It could not last-- consider the difference in faith alone-- and she would be hurt.__ How do I know it would n''t, even to the altar?
59369It was possible-- once more, after a decent interval?
59369It''s better now, is n''t it, than later from someone else?"
59369It''s only Tokugawa period, but get the heft, will you?"
59369It''s something to do with you, is n''t it?"
59369Just for the record, is anybody but you working in that place between sessions?"
59369Kintyre countered:"Is n''t this a rather sudden decision to leave?"
59369Kintyre put tobacco smoke into his lungs and insisted:"What happened?"
59369Kintyre stubbed out his cigarette( the fifth, sixth, twentieth?)
59369Kintyre?"
59369Know any hard- boiled blondes?"
59369Know the numbers?"
59369Larkin?"
59369Margery''s flat was here; or should you say it had been Bruce''s?
59369Maybe by mistake for someone else-- could it have been?"
59369Most likely the latter; but then who or what was L. L?
59369No?
59369Now he said in a cool voice,"Not to follow the recent bad example of accusations, but what_ is_ your alibi, Kintyre?"
59369Now that their house is unsafe, have you any idea where they''ll go?"
59369Now what''s he got to do all day?"
59369Now why do n''t you go swallow one of those chemical consolations?"
59369Now?"
59369O''Hearn carries a gun, and he''s a three- time loser already, do you understand what that means?
59369Only Doc, would n''t they expect it and try to outsmart the police?
59369Only did you know he was shacking up?"
59369Only then did she challenge him:"How do you know?"
59369Only what the devil has become of Bruce?"
59369Only-- who''s next?"
59369Or Guido here-- jealousy?
59369Or do n''t you want to win your black belt?"
59369Or do you want to get drilled right here and now?"
59369Or if you did now and then-- and as for your subconscious wishes-- were they really so evil?
59369Or mere gossip, as he thought?
59369Or things Luigi wrote could even make Bruce wonder, who knows?
59369Owens lifted a seared countenance and gasped:"No, you can spare me that much, ca n''t you?"
59369Owens shot another glance at Kintyre, gathered himself, and said:"I wondered if you''d be interested in selling the_ Liber Veneficarum_?"
59369Owens, is that his name?"
59369Peter Michaelis lifted his bull head and his voice crested:"You know of a job?"
59369Pity Clayton?
59369Rent a house for them?"
59369Right?"
59369Shall we also ask the police to check every minute of his weekend?"
59369She asked steadily:"What will he do?"
59369She considered him and asked gravely:"Why are you doing this for us?"
59369She said at last, in a wire- thin voice:"Why was it done?
59369Should we have?"
59369Since the bills today are all being footed by slobs, what do you expect but the onward march of slobbery?
59369So to start with-- that was a seal we heard barking, was n''t it?"
59369So what did you want, Jabez?"
59369So what else did he have cooking?
59369Something of the brash young salesman( where was it he started, Indianapolis?
59369Suppose this was only a harmless passer- by?
59369Tell me, how could the same man write that and_ Il Principe_?"
59369The first minute you''re able to?"
59369The first one answered:''Oh, are you still carrying her?
59369The fog was his friend, could he have approached without it?
59369The importer asked suddenly:"Have you seen Miss Towne?"
59369The trouble is, if his story is true, then who hired the killers?"
59369Then what have we got?"
59369Then, leaning back, she picked up her whisky glass and sipped of it and asked coldly:"Where did you go last night after you left the Michaelis place?"
59369Then:"I know a lot of young men, but perhaps-- Bruce Lombardi?"
59369There were shadows ahead, Clayton''s lair?
59369Therefore all this story he has told you( what is your phrase, from rags to Algernon?)
59369Think I dare let myself imagine about Corinna?
59369Think I enjoy realizing how poorly I''ve shown up in the last few days?
59369Think you can tell us?
59369Three?"
59369To understand--""Do you want to be reassured the murderer wo n''t strike at you next?
59369Twenty- four years of age, did you say?
59369Uh, what''s the occasion of all this?"
59369Walk into a tough bar and ask?
59369Want a police guard?"
59369Was that him, trying to check if I was at home?
59369Was there some way to lure one of them out?
59369We can think of some possible places, ca n''t we?"
59369We tied O''Hearn to the table--""Why the blindfold, for Pete''s sake?"
59369Well, what would you expect?
59369What about you?"
59369What about?
59369What better way to throw him off it than to let him make a fool of himself before me-- me, the owner, who''s really got a right to blow his stack?"
59369What could he do about Margery?
59369What could you do over there, except be one more element we have to explain away-- or one more target for the gang?
59369What could you say?
59369What do I mean?
59369What do we have?
59369What do you think happen to him?"
59369What do you think we ought to do?"
59369What does it say?"
59369What else is there?"
59369What else was there?
59369What else would get that thing off his mind, Gene Michaelis lying on the highway with both legs mashed?
59369What follows from this, Bruce?
59369What happened?
59369What has all this to do with me?"
59369What is it makes you fold up?"
59369What is it?"
59369What is it?"
59369What leads you to suspect your brother is involved?"
59369What motive?
59369What reason?
59369What the hell do you think we get paid for?"
59369What the hell had Margery''s apartment been burgled for?
59369What was taken?"
59369What would they do?"
59369What''s going on out there?"
59369What''s the actual probability that they''ll ever learn who did it, when they claim they have n''t even a motive to guide them?"
59369What''s the deal, anyway?
59369What''s the directory for?"
59369What''s the occasion?"
59369What''s wrong with you doing this?
59369When they had left Berkeley more than an hour behind, he asked:"How far do you want to go, anyway?"
59369Where are you staying?"
59369Where did he go?"
59369Where had Clayton picked up such intuitions?
59369Where had he picked her up?
59369Where is she?"
59369Where is this package?"
59369Where was Clayton?
59369Where was it?
59369Where were you two this weekend?"
59369Where were you?"
59369Where would paupers like those two find the money to rent a car, even for a day?
59369Where''s my motive?"
59369Where''s the dope?"
59369Where, then?
59369Who can tell?
59369Who d''you think would come sneaking in here?
59369Who did it to him?"
59369Who did n''t, in those days?
59369Who hired you?"
59369Who is our man?"
59369Who the hell else is there?
59369Who wants a dead red herring?
59369Who would do it, to him of all people in the world?"
59369Who would n''t be flattered, and touched?
59369Who''s left, the writer?"
59369Who''s left?"
59369Who''s left?"
59369Who?"
59369Why did he answer with a bad joke, he wondered-- postponing something?
59369Why did n''t I tell the cops?"
59369Why do n''t you admit it, you''ll always be the little girl from Ohio, and what''s wrong with that?
59369Why do you not ask your rich American friend Clayton to have it done?"
59369Why let the killers know what we know?
59369Why not take the call in his office?
59369Why should anybody care?
59369Why should he ruin his own business?"
59369Why was Bruce killed?
59369Why was he speaking of this?
59369Why write him off before we''re sure he was n''t just someone''s dupe?"
59369Why, for God''s sake?"
59369Why, it was only-- when?
59369Why?
59369Wo n''t you sit down?
59369Would you care to have lunch with me?"
59369Would you have stepped out, even for a minute?"
59369Yamamura asked Guido:"Where is this dope you brought?"
59369Yamamura said in the phone:"Tim?
59369You did n''t really think your connection with Bruce would escape discovery forever?"
59369You do n''t use pliers on a man without getting his name straight._"What was in the paper?"
59369You expect me to tell you if I do?
59369You knew Bruce, did you know that side of him?"
59369You know how burblesome he was; could he have kept from you, for weeks, the fact that he knew something big?
59369You know what that snake already tried to do?
59369You know what we call that kind where I come from?
59369You know?"
59369You know?"
59369You''re at your parents''home still, are n''t you?"
59369You''re sure?"
59369You''re very kind to come and-- What good would we do Bruce, sitting around with our faces dragging on the floor?"
59369_ And what''s wrong with that?_ thought Kintyre.
59369_ Can I tell you that I do n''t know?_ thought Kintyre.
59369_ I do n''t think I would sleep much._"Then could we go somewhere and talk?
59369_ Imprimis_, how sorry are you for Gene?
59369_ Or did I actually intend to wring it from him with my hands?_ The thought was so shocking that Kintyre stepped back.
59369_ Or did I tell you all this?_ he wondered.
59369_ Was it only last night?_ He related it in a few words.
59369_ What is this farce?_ he asked himself angrily.
59369has to consider public opinion, and why waste funds on petty charges which would never get past a jury?
59369makes a lunch off them and-- Can I tell you how sorry I am?"
9974About your engagement to Mr. Parrish... when did it take place?
9974Allies, then?
9974And I''ve a colleague from the Dutch police who''s going along with me to effect the arrest..."Jeekes, eh?
9974And Miss Trevert should stay if the doctor here would remain to look after her..."You think there''ll be a scrap?
9974And a devilish good match, eh, Horace?
9974And he went straight to the library?
9974And now,the boy continued,"perhaps you will realize that your presence here is disagreeable to Mary...""Did Mary ask you to tell me this?"
9974And that van der Spyck letter,asked Robin;"how did you get hold of it?
9974And this steel cup was on the pistol then?
9974And what about the inquest? 9974 And what did you do when you came in?"
9974And when did you come to this decision, may I ask?
9974And where did you pick_ him_ up, I''d like to know?
9974And you assert that you heard nothing?
9974And you heard no groan or cry?
9974And you say it was not on the pistol when Mr. Parrish''s body was found?
9974Another thing that puzzles me,remarked Robin,"is how Jeekes knew that Miss Trevert had a letter to you, sir?
9974Any sign of Lady Margaret or Mary yet?
9974Are n''t you going rather too fast?
9974Are you going to settle with Marbran or are you not?
9974Are you in the habit, sir,--the detective turned to Robin now,--"of going out for walks in the dark?"
9974Are you mad, Robin?
9974Are you sure of this?
9974Are you-- English?
9974At what time did you come along this corridor, sir?
9974At what time was that?
9974Automobile?
9974Because... because Parrish is not the sort of man who will make you happy..."And why not, may I ask? 9974 Before we go any farther,"he went on,"perhaps I had better identify myself-- to save any further misunderstandings, do n''t you know?
9974Bude, you say, makes this statement?
9974Bude,said Robin,"can you tell me if the fire in the library has been smoking of late?"
9974But are you sure that this is the same pistol as the one which Jay has been in the habit of seeing?
9974But how do we know that the glass door was open?
9974But how? 9974 But how?
9974But in the meantime,--he waved the blue sheet with its mysterious slots at Robin,--"what do you make of this?"
9974But is n''t there another key anywhere?
9974But what did you hear Mr. Greve say?
9974But what does he mean by''having to write''?
9974But what grounds have you for saying that Mr. Greve went in to Mr. Parrish? 9974 But what was this steel contraption for, do you know?
9974But what were you doing in the library?
9974But when was this?
9974But where did you get hold of this sheet of paper?
9974But who is he? 9974 But why are you hiding here?
9974But why did he not attempt to get the letter away from her as soon as she arrived? 9974 But why do you assume that I''ve got it?"
9974But why have you come here?
9974But you are a friend of mine, are n''t you?
9974But, Euan,--the girl was very serious now,--"what has the Secret Service to do with Hartley Parrish''s clients in Holland?"
9974But, I say, they wo n''t much like me butting in, will they?
9974But,he pursued, jerking his head in the direction of the window,"what are we going to do about him out there?"
9974But,said Mary in a puzzled way,"why do you say it was Mr. Greve if you did n''t hear his voice?"
9974Code, eh?
9974Could n''t I come in and have a yarn now?
9974D''you mean the doctor?
9974Dead?
9974Did anybody else see Mr. Parrish in spite of his orders?
9974Did you have the wire from the Yard saying I was coming?
9974Did you hear it?
9974Did you say Maxim?
9974Did you say in Holland? 9974 Did you''ear me, sir?"
9974Do n''t you agree?
9974Do you happen to know whether Mr. Parrish had any business worries?
9974Do you know for certain whether Mr. Jeekes was in here?
9974Do you know of anything in Mr. Parrish''s life which an enemy might have made use of to drive him to his death?
9974Do you know the Inspector?
9974Do you know where she lives?
9974Do you know,he asked,"whether the police or anybody have been through the desk?"
9974Do you see him often?
9974Do you want my help?
9974Does he?
9974Done? 9974 Done?"
9974Drugged?
9974Euan,the girl asked as she gave him her hand,"who is this man Schulz, do you think?"
9974Fear? 9974 For Miss Trevert?"
9974Go on,said Robin quickly;"what are you waiting for, man?
9974Gone to the Continent? 9974 Had he any enemies, do you know?
9974Has he gone out?
9974Has it been smoking lately?
9974Have a liqueur? 9974 Have n''t_ you_ got it?"
9974Have you got your warrant, Manderton?
9974Have you seen it?
9974Him?
9974How are you, Jay?
9974How are you, Manderton? 9974 How can it be the truth?"
9974How dare he?
9974How did you find that out?
9974How do you know that?
9974How much do you want,he asked,"to put you straight?"
9974I mean, did you hear any more?
9974I suppose Jeekes is coming back here to- night?
9974I suppose you know they''re still outside?
9974I think you said you could not hear the sergeant with the library door shut?
9974If you are my friend,she cried,"why ca n''t you trust me?
9974If you have n''t got this letter,he observed,"what has become of it?
9974Is it far?
9974Is n''t it something to do with a motor engine?
9974Is that the paper those letters were written on?
9974Is the detective anywhere about?
9974Is... is... the door defective? 9974 It is dark at five o''clock?"
9974It was Miss Trevert, you say, who found the body?
9974It was not long after the tea gong went,answered Robin,"about ten minutes past five, I should say...""And you heard nothing?"
9974It would be when he left us after lunch, would n''t it?
9974It''s Bruce Wright, Miss Trevert,he said,"do n''t you remember me?"
9974It''s not there?
9974It_ is_ important?
9974Jeekes? 9974 Just hold that to the fire, would you, Euan?"
9974Know, Miss? 9974 Like the letter I read, eh?..."
9974Loud enough to be heard through a door, would you say?
9974Mary Trevert, her mother, Horace Trevert..."The police, too?
9974Mary, dear,said the older woman,"do n''t you think you are making a mistake?"
9974May I come up and see you? 9974 Mees Trevert?"
9974Might I have a word with you?
9974Miss Trevert,he said,"I beg you will not press me on that score....""Why?"
9974Miss Trevert?
9974Miss Trevert?
9974Motor- car? 9974 Mr. Manderton,"--Robin spoke with a certain_ hauteur_,--"don''t you think we might leave Miss Trevert''s name out of this?"
9974My dear Doc,he said,"are n''t you going a bit fast?
9974My dear Mary--it was Lady Margaret''s smooth and pleasant voice which broke the silence--"whatever is the matter?
9974My dear girl,he said, trying to control himself to speak quietly,"what do you know about this man?
9974My dear,he said,"I know what an awful shock you''ve had....""You''ve heard about it?"
9974Neither the''loud voices''which the butler heard within two minutes of your leaving the house nor the shot fired five minutes later?
9974No one other than Miss Trevert, I gather, heard the shot?
9974Not...? 9974 Now, then, young Wright,"he said,"what''s this about a letter?
9974Of Rotterdam?
9974Oh, Miss,he answered, almost in a whisper,"whatever are you saying?"
9974Oh, my dear,he whispered, kissing her hair,"do n''t you care a little?"
9974Oh, sir,he said breathlessly, addressing Greve,"what ever has happened to Mr. Parrish?
9974Oh, yes..."Then Mr. Parrish would have heard the two sounds? 9974 Oh?
9974Poor old H.P., eh?
9974Schulz?
9974See who''s there, will you, Bruce?
9974Six or seven months ago..."Did Jeekes know about it?
9974So you saw Miss Trevert at Harkings, eh?
9974So you''ll wait for me, after all, Mary?
9974Suicide? 9974 That was at what time?"
9974That you, Mary?
9974That''s rather a tall order, is n''t it?
9974The door was locked, I think?
9974The shot, then, was fired immediately after you had knocked? 9974 Then Mr. Dulkinghorn... is he... that too?"
9974Then how do you account for the fact that, almost immediately after you had crossed Bude in the hall, he heard the sound of voices in the library?
9974Then we shall never know exactly why Mr. Parrish did this thing?
9974Then why have you kept it from them?
9974There ca n''t be any harm in my just going in for a second?...
9974There was no letter of this description on the desk, you say, when you and Miss Trevert looked?
9974These payments are still going on?
9974This was six or seven months ago, you say? 9974 To whom, may I ask?"
9974Tuff- Tuff?
9974Voices, eh? 9974 Was Mr. Hartley Parrish''s voice one of them?"
9974Was his health good?
9974Was it a sight, do you think?
9974Was the window bolted?
9974Was there anything more, Miss?
9974Wass I not right to warn her?
9974We might make enquiries in South Africa?
9974Well, Miss, I closed the corridor door..."Why did you do that?
9974Well, Mr. Greve,said the detective in a loud, hectoring voice,"perhaps you will be good enough to tell me what you know of this affair?"
9974Well, now,cried the doctor breezily,"and how are you feeling?
9974Well, ring him up and tell him that Mr. Parrish... Hullo, what do all these people want?
9974Well, sir, Mr. Parrish had mentioned it to me..."When?
9974Well? 9974 Well?"
9974Well?
9974Well?
9974Well?
9974Were there any other finger- prints except Horace''s on the outside?
9974What did you do?
9974What did you hear?
9974What did you say to Hartley Parrish after you left me this afternoon in the billiard- room?
9974What do the police think of it?
9974What do you know about this?
9974What do you mean?
9974What do you mean?
9974What do you want?
9974What does it all mean? 9974 What does it mean?"
9974What happened?
9974What has happened?
9974What in hell does this mean, Jeekes?
9974What is it, Bude?
9974What is n''t?
9974What is the matter with me?
9974What sort of enquiries?
9974What time was it when Miss Trevert heard the shot?
9974What time was that?
9974What was it, do you know?
9974What was that?
9974What was this chap like?
9974What''s all this about blackmail being levied from Holland?
9974What''s that?
9974What''s the good of telling me not to cry?
9974What''s the matter with you, Bude?
9974What''s the use of talking?
9974What''s this cock- and- bull story about gas you''ve put up to the manager?
9974What''s this rot about Parrish having committed suicide?
9974What, then, do you know that is likely to get anybody here into trouble?
9974What... what is it?
9974What?
9974When did she die?
9974When did you last notice Mr. Parrish''s automatic?
9974Where are you staying, Mary?
9974Where did he go?
9974Where on earth has everybody got to? 9974 Where''s everybody?"
9974Who could have wanted to kill poor Hartley? 9974 Who else should it have been, Miss?
9974Who is it? 9974 Who is it?"
9974Who is that crying outside?
9974Who is that? 9974 Who told you?"
9974Who''s there?
9974Who''s there?
9974Who?
9974Whom did he tell this to?
9974Whom do you mean exactly?
9974Why do you say that to me?
9974Why not?
9974Why not?
9974Why not?
9974Why on earth should Jeekes blacken his employer''s character to Miss Trevert? 9974 Why should he have done it?"
9974Why undoubtedly?
9974Why, Horace, what''s the matter?
9974Why, Mary,exclaimed the Major,"what on earth brings you round to me on a night like this?
9974Why, whatever''s the matter with Romain?
9974Why?
9974Why?
9974Why?
9974Why?
9974Why?
9974Why?
9974Why?
9974Will men ever understand women?
9974Will men_ ever_ understand women?
9974Will you do something for me?
9974Will you help me?
9974Wo n''t you look at me, Mary?
9974Wo n''t you show me the letter?
9974Wo n''t you take a drink?
9974Would it be troubling you,Robin struck in,"if we pushed your experiment one step farther?"
9974Would you mind if I asked Jay not to say anything about this to anybody just for the present?
9974Would you mind if I spoke to Jay myself?
9974Ye- es, and what if I did?
9974Yes, I suppose so..."Yet you say there was no reply?
9974Yes, sir, leastways I suppose so, sir..."Which window?
9974You ask for me?
9974You did n''t notice any official- looking letter on bluish paper?
9974You do n''t understand, do n''t you? 9974 You heard my question?
9974You left Miss Trevert in the billiard- room?
9974You mean that he was murdered?
9974You promise to say nothing about it to any one?
9974You say there was nothing in the letter- tray but these papers here?
9974You say you heard no shot?
9974You think it might be blackmail, eh? 9974 You took a certain interest in this young lady?"
9974You''ll see that I''m a barrister..."Well?
9974You''re pretty deep, are n''t you?
9974You''re sure of that?
9974You''ve got it there? 9974 You''ve got that letter?"
9974_ Parrish_ had?
9974''Do you?''
9974''E leave''er a note... will you take it?"
9974''How do you know that?''
9974''Maxim,''that was the name, now I put my mind back, with a number...""Maxim?"
9974''s antecedents?
9974''s desk in the library at Harkings when they found the body...""There_ was_ a letter there then...?"
9974A letter about steel shipments and the dockers''strike, was n''t it?
9974About the lady, is n''t that right?"
9974And I telephoned for the sweep immediately after luncheon, sir...""Did Mr. Parrish say anything else, Bude?"
9974And I wondered...""Well?"
9974And after the shot was fired there was a crash?"
9974And he made a point of looking for it...""But how do you know that Parrish had it on the pistol?..."
9974And how is my merry company commander?
9974Anybody who would drive him to a thing like this?"
9974As a matter o''fact, sir, the sweep was ordered for to- day...""Why?"
9974As he stood with his hand on the latch of the front door, Mary Trevert asked him:"Is this Mr. Schulz an Englishman?"
9974At the inquest, perhaps?"
9974Automobile?"
9974Besides I''ve got a friend there...""Who might that be?"
9974Besides, a little test we made this morning suggests that Mr. Greve spoke to Mr. Parrish through the window....""Was the window open?"
9974Bude has come up to scratch and there are tea- cakes after... but, I say, what on earth''s the matter?"
9974Bude heard them talking with voices raised aloud....""But if the door were locked?"
9974But I left it where I found it-- on Parrish''s desk in the library...""But you read it... you know what was in it?"
9974But had n''t Miss Trevert better tell her story herself?"
9974But his face displayed no emotion as he asked:"And what was in the letter for him to make such a fuss about?"
9974But how can we tell how much he knows?"
9974But is n''t Miss Trevert going to sit down?"
9974But then what do I-- what does any one-- know of Mr. Parrish''s former life?"
9974But was there anything else?
9974But what evidence is there that this was blackmail?"
9974But who killed him?
9974But why do you ask?"
9974But why have you come back?
9974But why?
9974But why?"
9974But why?"
9974But wo n''t you come in, Mr. Wright?
9974But, if you do go to Holland, how are you going to set about your enquiries?"
9974Could you describe it to me?"
9974Counter- espionage, is n''t he?"
9974Did I understand you to say that you were uneasy about this lady?
9974Did she hear a second?"
9974Did she hear the shot he fired at his murderer?"
9974Did she tell you this?"
9974Did you ever know a man who could best him?
9974Did you get my message?"
9974Did you recognize them?"
9974Did you take my advice and have some tea?"
9974Do I know him?"
9974Do I make myself clear?"
9974Do either of you gentlemen happen to know a party called Dulkinghorn?
9974Do n''t you feel it?
9974Do n''t you realize that you have dragged my sister into this wretched business?
9974Do n''t you see what I mean?"
9974Do n''t you see you may be hindering the course of justice?
9974Do n''t you think it is rather hard on an old friend to turn him away just when you most want him?"
9974Do n''t you understand that her name will be bandied about before a lot of rotten yokels at the inquest?"
9974Do n''t you use your eyes?
9974Do you know any one?
9974Do you know them?"
9974Do you mean Parrish''s secretary?
9974Do you think we can go on for ever like this, living on credit and dodging tradesmen?
9974Do you understand, Bruce?
9974Do you understand?
9974Do you understand?
9974Do you understand?"
9974Do you want it plainer than that?"
9974Do you want me to find out from them?
9974Does n''t it shut properly?"
9974Does your mother know about it?"
9974Every one down at Harkings believes that I went in and threatened Parrish so that he committed suicide...""Whom do you mean by every one?"
9974Fear of what?"
9974Firstly, how long were you out on your stroll in the dark?"
9974Firstly, who saw Mr. Hartley Parrish last: and at what time?"
9974For instance, do you know where he was born?"
9974For you understand, do n''t you?"
9974Greve?"
9974Greve?"
9974Had Bude got the note?
9974Had Mr. Greve got a passport?
9974Had he used that knowledge to threaten his rival?
9974Had n''t the police better take the matter in hand?"
9974Has Bude told you what he heard after I had passed him in the hall?"
9974Has he left nothing behind in writing?
9974Has n''t he cross- examined Jay?"
9974Have a cigar?"
9974Have you any idea why he should have done this thing?"
9974Have you examined the body?
9974Have you got this letter about you?
9974Having a little experiment, eh?"
9974Having a row with Mr. Parrish, eh?
9974He gave me quite a turn, he did, when I saw his face under the hall lamp....""Did you stay there... and listen?"
9974He snatched the letter out of my hand, called me every name under the sun, and finally shouted:''You''re fired, d''ye hear?
9974He''d do me a bad turn if he could...''"Then he broke off short and went on with his dictating...""Did he ever come back to this phase of his life?"
9974Holland is on your beat, ai n''t it, Euan?
9974How did you get in?
9974How?"
9974Hullo, hullo, who the devil''s that?"
9974I can understand you wanting to keep it from the police, but why do you want to deceive_ me_?"
9974I did n''t want to listen....""You thought one of the voices was Mr. Greve''s, eh?
9974I just heard the murmur- like, then shut the passage door quickly...""Why?"
9974I meant in what way do you propose to make use of my... my local knowledge?"
9974I take it, then, that any allowance that Parrish was in the habit of making to this woman has ceased?"
9974I tell you... bah, what''s the use?
9974I was there for a few minutes as I had to write a cheque....""And where is your bedroom?"
9974I went back to the hall, and just as I opened the green baize door I heard voices from the library...""Was it Mr. Greve''s voice?"
9974I wonder where Greve is?
9974I''d shut up all noospapers by law if I had my way...""Is Mr. Jeekes here, Bude?"
9974If, on the other hand, he was murdered, may not that letter have contained a warning?"
9974In the meantime, what makes you think that the murderer( to follow up your theory) was conversant with the lay of the land at Harkings?"
9974In these circumstances, my lady....""Well?"
9974Is it absolutely necessary?"
9974Is n''t that the way you figure it out?"
9974Is that all right?"
9974Is that it?"
9974Is that right?"
9974Is there any mystery about her journey?..."
9974Is this the doctor?
9974It ca n''t be true?"
9974It was an ordinary business letter from a firm in Holland...""In Holland?"
9974It was more like a sharp exclamation...""And then you heard this crash?"
9974It''s for Tuesday, is n''t it?
9974Jay has looked all through his things without finding it...""When did Jay see it last?"
9974Jay, will you see to it?
9974Jeekes?"
9974Jeekes?"
9974Jeekes?"
9974Jeekes?"
9974Just as I tried the door-- it was locked, you know-- there was a sort of hiss, harsh and rather loud, from the room...""A sort of hiss, eh?
9974Looking down at the point of her small black suede shoe she said shyly:"Mr. Wright, you are a friend of Mr. Greve, are n''t you?"
9974May it not refer to that letter?
9974Miss Trevert will have to give evidence, I take it?..."
9974No account of the crime?"
9974No, I''ve thought of that.. it wo n''t do...""Have you any suspicion of who the murderer might be?"
9974No, no, Mary, it is n''t true?
9974Not while you were knocking?"
9974Now"--he thrust a hand into his tunic and produced a large leather- bound notebook--"do you know anything as would throw a light on this business?"
9974Now, what can I do for you?"
9974Or has Mr. Greve discovered a mystery already?"
9974Or who?
9974Or would you rather be left alone?"
9974Or, for a matter of that, how he knew that she had gone to Rotterdam at all?"
9974Our friend has been trying to set Miss Trevert against me, eh?
9974Parrish?"
9974Parrish?"
9974Quick, d''you hear?
9974Remember, he had no means of knowing if the girl suspected him or not...""So he devised this trick of impersonating Mr. Schulz on the telephone, eh?"
9974Robin...""What, Bruce?"
9974Romain?"
9974Savvy?"
9974Shall we go?"
9974Should he dive into a Tube station and plunge headlong down the steps?
9974So Jeekes had been telling tales out of school to Mr. Victor, had he?
9974Something in the Secret Service, is n''t he?"
9974Something like a sneeze?"
9974That is what he means...""You knew he had provided for you in his will?"
9974That''ll do the trick, eh, what?"
9974That''s so, is n''t it?"
9974The girl began to bridle up,"Why?"
9974The turning of the handle and then the knocking on the door?
9974Then he said aloud to Jay:"Did you tell the police about this?"
9974Then he said carelessly:"From what you tell me, Miss Trevert would have been perhaps a minute alone in the room without your seeing her?"
9974Then leaning forward he added in a low voice:"Have you ever heard of the Maxim silencer?"
9974Then she said:"Who was it speaking to Mr. Parrish in the library?"
9974Then, affecting to scan the end of his cigar with great attention, he asked abruptly:"What do you know of the woman calling herself Madame de Malpas?"
9974Then,"What letter do you mean?"
9974They used to worry H.P., you know, Robin...""Worry him?"
9974Understand?"
9974Was it Jeekes or Marbran?"
9974Was it a patent sight or something?"
9974Was it not a fact that you and Miss Trevert had words?"
9974Was she free to love?
9974Was there a bead on it or anything like it?"
9974Was there anything?..."
9974Was there, in effect, any mystery about Mary''s trip to Rotterdam accompanied by her cousin?
9974Was this a cross- examination?
9974Was this before or after the shot?"
9974Was this the friend of Ernest Dulkinghorn, the man of confidence to whom he had recommended her?
9974Were they men''s voices?"
9974Were you anxious to see Miss... er... Trevert?
9974What a piece of luck, eh?"
9974What conceivable motive could he have had?
9974What do you know about matchmaking, anyway?"
9974What do you mean by saying you have come for the same purpose as myself?"
9974What do you say, Manderton?"
9974What do you want here... in this horrible room?"
9974What do you want in this house?"
9974What does he want?"
9974What had Robin done after he had left her that afternoon with his final taunt?
9974What had Robin done?
9974What had driven Hartley Parrish to suicide?
9974What has happened?"
9974What have I done?"
9974What if, after all, everything was open and above- board, and she had merely come to Rotterdam on business?
9974What is it?"
9974What led you to suppose that she was threatened?"
9974What makes you think anybody else had access to Mr. Parrish before the shot was heard?"
9974What part of the Continent has she gone to?"
9974What possible, probable motive had Hartley Parrish for taking his own life?
9974What precisely are you accusing me of?
9974What sort of a confidential emissary was he to fall into a simple trap like this?
9974What''s become of Lady Margaret?
9974When I discovered that Bruce Wright was after it too, I pretended I had found nothing...""But, darling, why?"
9974When do you go next?"
9974When you got into the library yesterday evening through the window, you smashed the glass, did n''t you?"
9974When you heard the shot in the library at Harkings, did you notice any other sound-- before or after?"
9974Where are you stayin''?
9974Where can we talk?"
9974Where did Mr. Parrish buy it?"
9974Where did you get hold of it?"
9974Where do we go first?"
9974Where were you at that time?"
9974Where would her investigations lead her?
9974Where''s Bude?"
9974Who had closed it?
9974Who is Marbran, sir?"
9974Who is this gentleman?"
9974Why did he pick me?
9974Why should I be humiliated by hearing from the butler that he kept this evidence from the police in order to please me because you and I are friends?
9974Why should I find this out from Bude?
9974Why should he have done this?
9974Why should n''t the police see it?..."
9974Why should not this be the key?
9974Why should you put these ideas into the heads of the police?
9974Why was n''t I informed?
9974Why?"
9974Why?"
9974Why_ did_ he do it?"
9974Will that be all, Miss?"
9974Will you promise?"
9974Would it be asking too much to request that my friend here might be permitted to return home unescorted?"
9974Would you mind closing that door?..."
9974You may have heard of him, Mr. Greve, for I can see you have been in the army...""Not Ernest Dulkinghorn, of the War Office?"
9974You remember me, do n''t you?
9974You will come with us, Dr. Collingwood?
9974You''d try and bounce me, would you?
9974You''ll both take whisky?
9974You''ll go, I suppose, Greve?"
9974_ What_ wo n''t you discuss with me?"
9974exclaimed Robin sharply;"how do you mean?"
9974exclaimed the boy eagerly,"have you got that too?"
9974he cried, shaking his head;"have I not tell you?"
9974he cried,"what''s this Bude tells me?"
9974he cried-- and his voice rang out clear through the room--"the grill, eh?
9974he exclaimed,"do you accept this theory of suicide as blandly as all that?
9974he exclaimed;"do n''t you think that_ this_ looks as though Manderton meant business?"
9974he said,"we''ll leave that to dry and see if we can find out any little secrets, eh?
9974he said,"what?
9974he whispered to himself,"why, my God, why?"
9974him?"
9974me?"
9974mused young Wright;"who''d have thought it?"
9974she cried, stamping her foot;"how dare he?"
9974sir,"he cried,"whatever is it?
9974why?"
9796A corpse has been stolen; can you suggest any use a corpse can be put to if it is not to serve some anatomical or medical purpose? 9796 A foolish old man alone, eh?"
9796About Madame Yatrotski?
9796According to Watson, I suppose?
9796Acute rheumatism, is n''t it? 9796 Always or recently, do you mean?"
9796An ape, trained to imitate, and now-- did some one look through the glass?
9796And allowed suspicion to rest on his name?
9796And could you get a knife?
9796And do you suppose a detective values his life if by his death he can bring notorious criminals to justice?
9796And he took a great interest in stones and bits of rock?
9796And he will know later, if your theory is right?
9796And how were you to know?
9796And in his private life?
9796And in the Agricultural piece?
9796And in the ordinary way Henley would have gone with you?
9796And in your opinion the wound could not, under any circumstances, have been caused by a bullet?
9796And none of you went down to the tent until the evening of the next day?
9796And the body has been stolen?
9796And the door of the room, had that been kept locked?
9796And there is no market for such work?
9796And there is no sale for it?
9796And there were only two pieces of lead in the coffin when it was opened?
9796And what reason had he for the murder?
9796And what was the use of it to any one?
9796And when I tell you I live in Gray''s Inn do you think you could guess what kind of work it is?
9796And where is the body now?
9796And who do you suppose he was?
9796And who was the man?
9796And would not have become one but for Farrell''s death, I take it?
9796And you expected to hear from them?
9796And you have good reasons for expecting to run him to earth at Fairtown?
9796And you have no reason to regret taking him into your company?
9796And you have seen him since?
9796And you said nothing?
9796And you say you have moved nothing in this room?
9796And you want to get at the central scoundrel?
9796And you went out at seven?
9796And your temper''s gone out, too, eh, Professor?
9796Any ladies?
9796Any other alternative, Mr. Quarles? 9796 Any reason which might possibly induce the girl to go away of her own accord?"
9796Anything else?
9796Are they both in it?
9796Are they worth considering-- now?
9796Are we? 9796 Are you a doctor?"
9796Are you any nearer a solution?
9796Are you hunting a murderer or a ghost, Wigan?
9796Are you in love with the hangman?
9796Are you out of work, Wigan?
9796Are you staying in the hotel?
9796Are you suggesting it was a blind?
9796Are you suggesting that he should spend a night in this house?
9796Are you sure it was n''t Bennett?
9796Are you sure you never saw either of the men who dined here to- night while you were traveling with your master in Italy?
9796Are you sure? 9796 Are you there?"
9796Are you trying to prove that the lead was already in the coffin when it was taken to the drawing- room?
9796Burroughs thought you had fallen asleep, did he? 9796 But his work is good, is n''t it?"
9796But how was the duplicate coffin got into the house?
9796But my note to her?
9796But not now, eh?
9796But the body?
9796But the respect is not unanimous, you mean?
9796But what became of the knife?
9796But why should he wait until the man had got into the pierrot''s dress before murdering him?
9796But why should you think he was a new acquaintance of Lady Tavener''s?
9796But why steal the body?
9796But why?
9796But you are sure he stole the pearls?
9796But you do not altogether believe him, eh?
9796By the perfume?
9796By the way, have you been to the mortuary to see the body?
9796By the way, what is Dr. Coles''s address?
9796Can she possibly be more vague, dear, than you are at the present moment?
9796Can you account for the fascination she exerted?
9796Cayley is quite a poor man, I presume?
9796Come, now, why are you so sure? 9796 Could n''t they have been packed in such a way that they would not have slipped?"
9796Cutting his nails?
9796Did Hardiman know this?
9796Did Mr. Farrell suffer from headaches?
9796Did Mr. Hardiman ever say anything about these bits of rock to you?
9796Did he believe you?
9796Did he give you the impression that he believed Tavener guilty?
9796Did he give you this invitation quite openly?
9796Did he have many visitors as a rule?
9796Did he say when they were put here?
9796Did he suggest you should say a woman was present?
9796Did he telephone to madame or attempt to communicate with her in any way?
9796Did n''t I tell you?
9796Did n''t you meet the maid coming out of your room on the next afternoon? 9796 Did nothing happen?"
9796Did she say anything about the men in the corridor?
9796Did you call out to him?
9796Did you read that?
9796Did you see Mrs. Crosland, Wigan?
9796Did you see the chauffeur?
9796Did your mother hear the shots?
9796Do I look like a woman to be frightened by such a thin story?
9796Do n''t you feel well?
9796Do we come back to the theory of suicide, then?
9796Do you believe he would do nothing to bring the murderer to justice?
9796Do you believe that some one out of wanton cruelty has stolen the body with no purpose beyond mere revenge?
9796Do you find it an interesting case, Professor?
9796Do you find them suggestive?
9796Do you happen to know him?
9796Do you happen to know who Lady Rusholm was?
9796Do you know that your cabin companion says you did not leave your bunk at all that night?
9796Do you know whether the invalid brother was at the office that day?
9796Do you not often do the same, dear?
9796Do you remember putting the case back in your drawer?
9796Do you suggest he was poisoned then, and came back hours afterwards to die in the office?
9796Do you suppose that has not been considered and arranged for?
9796Do you think I should be likely to do such a thing?
9796Do you think the man was alone?
9796Does she attend the church?
9796Does the doctor suggest an accident?
9796Had he his hat on when he was pulled from under the platform?
9796Had you no chance of capturing him?
9796Had your master any other visitors to- day?
9796Has a revolver been found?
9796Has he questioned you since?
9796Has that one been there all the time?
9796Has the drawing- room more than one door?
9796Has the tramp been detained?
9796Has the-- the knife been found?
9796Have you a photograph of the chalice?
9796Have you any reason to suppose that Henley had done so?
9796Have you considered the possibility that some one is trading on your known enthusiasm for psychological research?
9796Have you ever taken parcels to this Mr. Fisher before?
9796Have you examined the wound carefully?
9796Have you read the evidence given to- day carefully?
9796Have you seen the paper this morning?
9796Have you still got servants in your mind, Wigan?
9796Have you the canvas bag of stones?
9796He dined early to- night?
9796He had no suspicion of suicide, I suppose?
9796He knew who you were, I suppose?
9796He stuck to that?
9796He thought it was murder?
9796He told you so?
9796He was a singer, you say?
9796How came she to give the jewels to the church then?
9796How came she to sit for you?
9796How did they get in?
9796How did you hear it?
9796How do you know?
9796How long has it been running?
9796How long have you been in Mr. Bridwell''s service?
9796How long would you make the delay?
9796How long, in his opinion, had the man been dead?
9796How were you to know him, then?
9796I may take it, doctor, that the man had been dead only a short time when you saw him?
9796I mean, is there any circumstance which makes you particularly remember doing so?
9796I propose having the body moved to the bedroom; there is nothing else you would like to look at before I do so?
9796I suppose he is not the born artist that Musgrave is?
9796I suppose you read the papers I sent you, Professor?
9796I suppose, Mr. Crosland, you have no suspicions regarding this affair?
9796I think you are right, but it does n''t help us to the truth, does it?
9796I wonder what percentage of women use the scent? 9796 I wonder whether there is something-- how shall I put it?--_simpatica_ between us?"
9796If mother will give you such things to play with, Nella, why, of course, they get broken, do n''t they?
9796If not, I could hardly claim success, could I?
9796If they did not know the dead man, if they had nothing to conceal, why did they allow it to be supposed that the dead man was Henley?
9796In that case would he have called the driver''s attention?
9796Is Mr. Majendie annoyed at not being allowed to land at once?
9796Is he fond of yachting?
9796Is he married?
9796Is he positive he fastened them?
9796Is it a promise?
9796Is it known where Farrell went that afternoon?
9796Is it not strange the Italian servant knew nothing about this wonderful assistant?
9796Is it possible that you left the door unlocked last night by mistake?
9796Is it your real opinion that the only thing to do is to wait?
9796Is it, Nella? 9796 Is n''t it more probable that she went away willingly?"
9796Is n''t there a nephew in the house? 9796 Is she the sort of woman, for vain or selfish reasons, to enter into such a conspiracy with her maid?
9796Is that Miss Wilkinson''s signature?
9796Is that you, Arthur?
9796Is that you, Professor?
9796Is there any love affair?
9796Is there anything further for me to do?
9796Is there really a case for us to deal with, or did you merely telegraph for the purpose of giving me a holiday?
9796Is there such a late train up?
9796It is no use my petitioning you to let me go for the sake of-- of our friendship?
9796It leaves an unpleasant doubt whether Mademoiselle Duplaix is as innocent as she ought to be, does n''t it?
9796It must have had a point, you think?
9796It was a bad throw, too?
9796It was n''t open?
9796May I ask whether, as guardian, you have control over your niece''s choice?
9796My client has reason to believe that you are-- shall I say enamored of a lady staying in this hotel? 9796 No hypodermic syringe has been found, I suppose?"
9796No names were mentioned in your presence?
9796No rheumatism?
9796Nor you, Miss Travers?
9796Not if I could prove that the solution was correct?
9796Not to meet Mademoiselle Duplaix, surely?
9796Now, can you suggest why Henley was wearing his dress?
9796Now, when did you last see the pearls?
9796Of course she has not yet heard of the theft?
9796Of course you were not on the deck that night?
9796Oh, it was a man-- not a woman?
9796On what points were they not agreed?
9796One of our failures, eh? 9796 Ought we not to say that we know she says he had not?"
9796Posing in the nude?
9796Quite so, but you do not mind my looking at the body rather closely? 9796 Rather a surprise, eh, Wigan?"
9796Regenerating ruffians and drafting them into church work, eh?
9796Shall we drink to your clearer judgment?
9796Shall we give it up and go, Professor?
9796She did n''t suggest the pearls were sham?
9796She did not mention any place in Sussex?
9796Should you say he was a geologist?
9796Sir Robert, could it possibly have been a case of suicide?
9796So Mr. Bridwell might have had visitors while you were out?
9796So for all you know to the contrary, the case may have been empty?
9796So you did it later in the evening?
9796Some one had stolen those bits of rock, else how came they in that canvas bag, and why were they thrown away? 9796 Something which Sir Grenville wished buried with him, something which may have slipped?"
9796Stood him a glass of wine somewhere, you mean?
9796Strengthened by an interest in Sister Pomona, eh? 9796 Sufficiently to bring the criminal to book?"
9796Sure you will be all right alone?
9796Surely you are not influenced by the contessa''s opinion?
9796Surely you do not mean Randall?
9796That also sounds a good argument,said Quarles,"but is it?
9796That goes to support my argument, does n''t it?
9796That hardly explains why they went to Mademoiselle Duplaix, does it?
9796That is Henley''s, I suppose?
9796That was a little extra trimming of your own, eh?
9796The hooligans''club, for instance?
9796The key to it is in Zena''s question: Why did n''t Parrish open his letters?
9796Then he did not kill Hardiman?
9796Then there is some doubt as to the servant''s guilt?
9796Then we do away with the theory of suicide?
9796Then you are inclined to exonerate Morrison?
9796Then you believe Williams was getting out of the taxi?
9796Then you have formed a theory?
9796Then you think she is alive?
9796There is a directory here, I see; did you touch it?
9796There is no reason to doubt the statement, is there?
9796There is the case,he said, taking it from his pocket;"we have got to put the pearls into it, Contessa, may I look into your bedroom?"
9796To whom?
9796Twenty- four?
9796Was Nella crawling on the floor?
9796Was anything besides the chalice stolen?
9796Was anything found in the car?
9796Was he?
9796Was his claim disputed?
9796Was it Bush?
9796Was it fear that some evidence might be found against you which made you point out a man whom you knew was innocent?
9796Was she playing with anything-- anything off the mantelpiece?
9796Was that the lady?
9796Was that the perfume?
9796Was the coffin a very elaborate one?
9796Was the final sitting for the Agricultural group?
9796Was the parcel hard; something of metal or leather?
9796Was this before you knew he had fallen into bad hands?
9796Was-- was anything put into the coffin?
9796We could n''t plead foul weather as an excuse for being late, could we?
9796Well, Mr. Quarles, have you brought this affair to a head?
9796Well, Wigan, shall I tell you what the result of the post- mortem is likely to be?
9796Well, what did the man say?
9796Well, what is it?
9796Well?
9796Were these hangings on the bed last night?
9796Were you Morrison?
9796What conclusion did you come to?
9796What could any one want with a dead body?
9796What desperate thing were you going to say?
9796What did Mr. Fisher say when you gave him the packet? 9796 What did Percival say to that?"
9796What did Sir Grenville die of?
9796What did he do, exactly?
9796What did you think of the portrait?
9796What do you advise?
9796What do you expect to discover, sir?
9796What do you make of it, Professor?
9796What do you make of my theory now, Wigan?
9796What do you mean?
9796What do you think of the idea?
9796What exactly do you mean?
9796What flying machine?
9796What happened?
9796What has he got to say about me?
9796What has this to do with you?
9796What instrument did he play?
9796What is it?
9796What is that?
9796What is to be done?
9796What is your own opinion of your niece''s disappearance?
9796What made you inspect her wardrobe?
9796What makes you say criminals are more clever then?
9796What makes you think that?
9796What of the woman he was to have married?
9796What then?
9796What time elapsed between the firing of the shots and the entrance of the constable?
9796What was Morrison''s explanation?
9796What was he like? 9796 What was the main object of your master''s travels?"
9796What was the weapon? 9796 What''s the game?"
9796What, exactly, were the experiences of this young couple?
9796When did you first think of the child?
9796When did you guess?
9796When do you meet?
9796When does he return?
9796When shall I see you again?
9796When were they given to you?
9796When?
9796When?
9796When?
9796Where are we?
9796Where are you going?
9796Where is he now?
9796Where is the key of my room, Zena?
9796Where was the body taken?
9796Where were you?
9796Where?
9796Where?
9796Who are these brothers and sisters?
9796Who closed the windows after the body was taken to the drawing- room?
9796Who did?
9796Who else?
9796Who first entered the room this morning?
9796Who first thought of looking for it?
9796Who found it?
9796Who had told him to call upon her?
9796Who is it?
9796Who told you so?
9796Who''s that?
9796Why did he put on the dress?
9796Why did n''t you put me on my guard?
9796Why did you not speak of the possibility?
9796Why do you make such a suggestion?
9796Why not to- morrow?
9796Why not? 9796 Why not?
9796Why not? 9796 Why not?
9796Why not? 9796 Why not?"
9796Why not?
9796Why should it be?
9796Why the speculation?
9796Why were you so anxious to have him arrested?
9796Why, how else could the men have got in?
9796Why, indeed?
9796Why?
9796Why?
9796Why?
9796Will it bring Angà © lique back? 9796 With whom?"
9796Would Bennett be likely to be in the place where the watch saw this man?
9796Would it astonish you to hear we are after the very same things?
9796Would she have telephoned to Lanning if she were guilty?
9796Yes, why do you ask?
9796You admitted that?
9796You are sure you did kill him?
9796You are suspicious of Sir Charles?
9796You assume that the whole household was in the conspiracy?
9796You ca n''t give me any idea of the nature of this romance, Miss Belford?
9796You called out, then?
9796You can swear to it?
9796You claim that you show her character, I suppose?
9796You did n''t chance to see a portrait of him?
9796You did n''t get any idea of his age?
9796You did n''t see a lady go up to Mr. Bridwell''s flat?
9796You do not think the arrest was a mistake now, I presume?
9796You do not wish to tell me what it is?
9796You fellows do that sometimes, eh?
9796You had some talk with him during the voyage; what did you think was his business in life?
9796You have dropped the idea of the supernatural, then?
9796You have formed no idea what the poison was?
9796You have my facts, Professor; now, have you progressed with your theory; has revolver practise had something to do with it?
9796You have no doubt that it was murder?
9796You have no suspicion?
9796You have not seen her since her marriage?
9796You knew him, then?
9796You know Mr. Wilkinson was afraid of this very thing?
9796You know it?
9796You know nothing about these two visitors?
9796You mean the coffins were changed?
9796You think that unlikely?
9796You would otherwise have expected to find some signs of a struggle?
9796You''re sure this was locked and bolted last night?
9796Your mistress was wearing them?
9796Your opinion is all cut and dried, I presume?
9796''I am going to Silesia--''By the way, when will you go?"
9796''Why did n''t the butler run for the police instead of Miss Crosland?''
97965, I suppose?"
97969, did n''t he?"
9796And your assailant?"
9796Are we to see Mademoiselle Duplaix come along next?"
9796At any rate, some remark of this kind would allay her suspicions, and then--""He murdered her?"
9796But tell me first, what was his demeanor when he heard the verdict?
9796But what is beauty if you have no luck?"
9796By the way, I suppose Mr. Henley played some instrument?"
9796By the way, have you ever seen Beverley?"
9796Can I take it away with me?"
9796Can you account for the fascination which sin exerts over a vast number of people in the world?
9796Can you drag yourself over to this corner?
9796Can you imagine her allowing a man like the dead man to have anything to do with her?"
9796Can you wonder after all we went through?
9796Can you wonder, my dear Zena, that I felt more like a little brandy and water than tea?"
9796Could I do less than make a compact that it should be so?
9796Did Farrell at some time before midnight bring some one back to the office with him?
9796Did Quarles know?
9796Did he go into the bedroom while you were here?"
9796Did he open his door with a key when you came in with him last night?"
9796Did she happen to mention any places in England from which she has heard from him?"
9796Did you know I was writing an article for a psychological review?"
9796Did you know his name was John?"
9796Did you notice the likeness, Wigan?"
9796Did your brother chance to come to the office that day?"
9796Do n''t you think it would be interesting to know what she is like?"
9796Do you imagine they began before that?"
9796Do you know Italy?"
9796Do you know him?"
9796Do you know the name of his solicitors?"
9796Do you know what has become of the junior clerk, Small?"
9796Do you remember the woman Squires spoke to on the night he led us into that trap?"
9796Do you think the burglars are responsible?"
9796Do you think we have enough facts to go on?"
9796Do you understand?"
9796Do you want to look at anything else in the house?"
9796Does it tell you anything?"
9796Does n''t the disappearance of that coat and skirt tend to corroborate this?
9796Does that sound quite a likely story, Wigan?"
9796Farrell might have felt ill and drunk some plain water, but why was he in the office at all?
9796First, was the fog in Hammersmith, or elsewhere on the journey, thick enough to bring him to a standstill before he reached Hyde Park Corner?
9796First, why did he live the life of a recluse in Gray''s Inn?
9796Fisher?"
9796For what purpose was he brought there?
9796Had I?
9796Had they another car waiting, or was Hounslow their destination?
9796Had you told the men in the corridor that all the contessa''s jewelry was sham?"
9796Has he always been on friendly terms with this branch of the family?"
9796Has it occurred to you, Wigan, how exceedingly complete his claim was?
9796Have you a list of madame''s admirers, Wigan?"
9796Have you any fault to find with that deduction, Wigan?"
9796Have you any reason to suppose poor Henley was in love?"
9796Have you any relatives in town?"
9796Have you arrived at a theory?"
9796Have you considered why only the earrings were stolen?"
9796Have you ever seen that knife before?"
9796Have you ever watched trains rushing through a great junction-- say Clapham Junction?"
9796Have you got any information which will help to answer it?"
9796Have you got interested in a case, dear?
9796Have you seen Musgrave''s portrait of her?"
9796He called out"Who''s there?"
9796He said that if I saw he was going mad I was to shoot him, and so--""Wait a minute,"said Quarles,"when did he say this to you?"
9796Her second question was: Why did he live the life of a recluse in Gray''s Inn?
9796How are you getting on with your knots, Wigan?"
9796How could he have administered poison to Farrell?"
9796How did he know that his ingenious method of concealing the body had been found out?
9796How did you guess that?"
9796How does he do it?
9796How goes the inquiry?"
9796How had he heard of Quarles''s discovery?
9796How many people do you suppose know which Saints''days were specified by Miss Morrison?
9796How to escape?
9796How was the church entered?
9796How was the poison administered?
9796How would you answer those questions?"
9796I am still--""Still waiting for something to turn up in the Beverley affair?"
9796I do n''t remember anything particular about Arthur Bridwell''s parliamentary career, do you?"
9796I remember speaking casually of a well- known person once and being met with the question: Who is he?
9796I shall be nothing without them, do you see?"
9796I suppose you can not bring evidence that he did not?"
9796I suppose you know that my ideas of the true functions of art have caused many people to call me a crank?"
9796I take it that neither Watson nor any of his company have offered any explanation of the tragedy?"
9796I think you said the taxi had been in charge of the police?"
9796I wonder how you got on my track?"
9796I--""What do you know about it?"
9796If you were going to take a false name, Wigan, and your godfathers had not called you Murray, only James, what would you do?
9796Is it likely I should do anything so foolish?
9796Is it the advertisement theory you cling to, or do you suppose she is a Nihilist?"
9796Is your faith in Murray growing weak, too?"
9796It is a jolly good bust, but the woman--""Is she pretty?"
9796It seems possible, does n''t it, that at one time she hoped to have them after her aunt''s death?
9796It seems such an obvious clue, does n''t it?
9796It was very unfortunate, but what could I do?
9796Just the men to deal with a jeweled chalice, eh, professor?
9796Just write-- let me see, how will it be best to word it?
9796Majendie?"
9796May I wash my hands?"
9796Now can you think of any one who might have something to gain by breaking into Clarence Lodge?"
9796Now what do you think of my theory?"
9796Now, was it B. who found him the other night after three years''search?"
9796Perhaps you heard of the case?"
9796Randall?"
9796Randall?"
9796Secondly, is he quite sure that the man who opened the door and called to him had not just got out of the taxi?"
9796Shall I show you his papers in the other room?"
9796Shall we have a talk with Mr. Majendie next?
9796Shall we just have Masini in and ask him a question or two?"
9796Shall we say the name of this assistant was Fisher?
9796Shall we suppose that it has been carefully lowered from a bedroom window to an accomplice without?
9796Since he did not sell his work, where did the money come from?"
9796Surely Lanning must have realized how dangerous it was to give such a note to Quarles?
9796That car, Wigan, the tramp who saw it, the stoppages it made, the handkerchief in it-- does anything strike you?"
9796That is why I come to know you, is n''t it?"
9796That will be quite natural, wo n''t it?
9796The Grange Park burglaries beat me because there was no clue to build on, but with a dead body-- well, it really was n''t very difficult, was it?"
9796The captain wishes us to lunch on board; perhaps you will join us?"
9796The capture of a brother detective would be a fine case to have to his credit, would n''t it?"
9796The doctor was poor and somewhat in debt, and--""And Farrell, who died by poison, which is significant, was his rival?"
9796The only person one can imagine her going away with is Cayley, and why should she go away with him?
9796There are cleverer criminals than there used to be in my time, are there, Wigan?
9796There was no rehearsal, I suppose?"
9796There was no typewriter in Parrish''s chambers, I think?"
9796True, according to Southey, his time after the visit was accounted for, but how about the time before the visit?
9796Was I bewitched?
9796Was Lady Rusholm prepared for that knock from the coffin?"
9796Was he English?"
9796Was he astonished?"
9796Was the agent expecting to let the house again at once, or had they been put there for Quarles''s convenience to- morrow night?
9796Well, Wigan, what do you make of the case?"
9796Well, Wigan, what do you make of this affair?
9796Were the pearls very valuable?"
9796Were you struck by any peculiarity in him?"
9796What about Mrs. Selborne?
9796What about his work?"
9796What do you make of it?"
9796What do you think of the theory?"
9796What do you think, Wigan?"
9796What has become of her, do you suppose?"
9796What has brought you here at this hour of the day?"
9796What is the mystery, Murray?"
9796What is the particular problem?"
9796What is your opinion now, Wigan?"
9796What use could they make of a dead body?
9796What was his name now?"
9796What was his standpoint?
9796What was it?"
9796What was the ill news Mr. Thompson brought from India?
9796What were his exact words, I mean?"
9796What would a secret agent want at Oxford?
9796What would he do with it?
9796What would you have done with it, Wigan?
9796Where did he get his money from?
9796Where was I to find such a man and the efficient confederates who were helping him in his schemes?
9796Why do you think he is not guilty, Wigan?"
9796Why does it differ so widely from Musgrave''s portrait?
9796Why had he waited so long?"
9796Why live in Chelsea when there is such a place as Devonshire?"
9796Why not?
9796Why not?
9796Why should he come back when he had left for the day?"
9796Why should he not dress up and take his place on the following evening?
9796Why should he talk of a runaway match to the woman at that cottage?
9796Why should the man explain the filling of a flask at a public house?
9796Why take such trouble that the theft should be discovered?"
9796Why was he so certain?
9796Why were they not put there?
9796Why?
9796Will it surprise you to learn that I am having the Italian Masini carefully watched?"
9796Winbush''s story is rather a surprising one, eh, Wigan?"
9796Would he not have jumped at the idea?"
9796Would the garage people have it brought in and repaired?
9796Would they drown her, too?
9796Would you like to hear them now?"
9796You are certain it was a knife, I suppose?"
9796You are convinced you were not dreaming, I presume?"
9796You are not a regular customer here?"
9796You are quite sure it was a woman?"
9796You did n''t happen to know the real Parrish, I suppose?"
9796You do not know the Castalanis?"
9796You dress for the performance in the tent, I suppose?"
9796You have got a constable at The Lodge, I suppose?"
9796You have made enquiries about him in this building, of course?"
9796You knew Miss Lester, of course?"
9796You know it, I suppose?"
9796You say the woman is an extraneous episode; but is she?
9796You see, I was not looking at her with his eyes""Had she no beauty, then?"
9796You will-- surely you are not thinking--""That reformation may be only skin deep?
9796Your friend Parrish was not a man you would expect to rollick, I imagine?''''
9796Your taste, sir, appeals to me, but I am bound to say--""Are you a private detective?"
9796Your wound is not likely to put off your wedding?"
9923''Is anything wrong?'' 9923 ''So that''s your game, is it, Richard Beverley?''
9923''So you''re a thief, are you, Richard Beverley?'' 9923 ''To what?''
9923''Will you take that back?'' 9923 A friend?"
9923Against these three things it is very hard work to bring off-- shall I say a_ coup_?
9923Am I safe here, Timothy, for a day or two?
9923Am I still suspect?
9923Am I the most precious thing on this steamer?
9923Am I, may I ask, under suspicion?
9923Am I?
9923America would n''t provide you with many opportunities, would it?
9923And Doctor Gant?
9923And afterwards?
9923And in such a state he chooses to make a perilous voyage like this?
9923And notwithstanding all this,was the somewhat grave criticism,"you have not the slightest idea where these documents are to be found?"
9923And now?
9923And that?
9923And the other man?
9923And their rooms have been searched?
9923And what on earth were you doing about on deck?
9923And where are they now?
9923And who is Sir Denis Cathley?
9923And who is that?
9923And why do you single him out?
9923And why?
9923And yet the terror remains?
9923And you think you are going to break his record?
9923And you think you will prefer your new profession?
9923And you wo n''t take me any further into your confidence?
9923And you?
9923And-- and Mr. Jocelyn Thew?
9923Any news?
9923Any one else coming?
9923Anything else?
9923Anything else?
9923Anything fresh?
9923Anything gone wrong with the wireless?
9923Anything wrong?
9923Are n''t you going with your friend?
9923Are these Mr. Crawshay''s rooms?
9923Are you a spy?
9923Are you any good at English history, Brightman?
9923Are you crazy?
9923Are you homesick for what lies beneath those clouds?
9923Are you in a hurry?
9923Are you really interested?
9923Are you sure that he wants to see me?
9923Are you wanting me, Doctor Gant?
9923At three o''clock in the morning?
9923Attempted?
9923Blood- money, boy,the O''Clory reminded him,"and anyway there''s a touch of the evil thing about strangers''gold.--Eh, but who''s this?"
9923Brightman there?
9923But have you two been seeing anything of one another, then? 9923 But how?"
9923But surely,he protested,"you have paid your debt, whatever it was?"
9923But the main part of the plot?
9923But what do you mean by outcasts?
9923But what the-- what in thunder does it all mean?
9923But why not?
9923But why should I not make my own choice?
9923But why?
9923But you are English?
9923But you brought it off, did n''t you?
9923By whom?
9923By- the- by, Captain,he asked,"now that the shipping is so reduced, do you alter speed for fog?"
9923By- the- by, Mr. Joyce, I hope you got my note?
9923By- the- by, there was n''t much you could tell him about your patient, was there?
9923Ca n''t you hear a hooter?
9923Ca n''t you see that we''re all in a fever about this business?
9923Can I come with you?
9923Can one what?
9923Come, Mr. Thew,he said,"you''re an Englishman, are n''t you?"
9923Daughter of old Joe Beverley, the multi- millionaire?
9923Did New York give you his record?
9923Did he make any trouble?
9923Did n''t you read them? 9923 Do I know you, sir?"
9923Do n''t know where he''s tucked them away, eh?
9923Do n''t you like us, then?
9923Do we alter our speed, eh?
9923Do you come from the hospital?
9923Do you know him?
9923Do you know where that was?
9923Do you mean while you were out?
9923Do you mind telling me what this is, Miss Beverley?
9923Do you need to be warned against me?
9923Do you remember your English history?
9923Do you suppose she is bringing us a message?
9923Do you suppose that she came to Europe after Jocelyn Thew?
9923Do you think,she enquired after a brief pause,"that you will enjoy soldiering better than pseudo- diplomacy?
9923Do you understand, sir,he enquired,"that this is strictly a cash affair?
9923Do you want to ask the man any questions?
9923Documents?
9923Drink?
9923Even the stupidest people in the world,Jocelyn Thew agreed,"can scarcely make mistakes all the time, can they?
9923Exactly what does this mean, Nora?
9923Exactly what happened?
9923Exactly what time does your train go, Richard?
9923Exactly who are they?
9923Feeling a little stronger this morning, I hope?
9923Fight for England?
9923For three hundred guineas?
9923For three?
9923For three?
9923Getting out of it, are n''t we?
9923Going away?
9923Guess you''re sorry you ever came to that supper party at the Knickerbocker, are n''t you?
9923Harrison,he asked,"were you one of the stewards who was looking after Doctor Gant?"
9923Has anything gone wrong?
9923Has he ever been in prison?
9923Have I ever met him?
9923Have I ever sailed under false colours?
9923Have I ever shown myself afraid? 9923 Have they given any indication of their future plans?"
9923Have you anything more to say to me?
9923Have you anything to do with the fact that my rooms have been searched by the police?
9923Have you ever seen any bandaging of this sort?
9923Have you met our ship''s doctor yet?
9923He did n''t arrest you, then, after all? 9923 He does n''t go as far as to express a definite opinion, but he thinks that it might be that German raider-- the_ Blucher_, is n''t it?
9923He is an Englishman, I suppose?
9923He is well off, then?
9923He is, of course, a very great friend of yours?
9923He rather gives one that impression, does n''t he?
9923He wrote the wonderful Sinn Fein play,''The New Green,''did n''t he?
9923Heard anything of Jocelyn Thew?
9923Heard of what?
9923Hinted?
9923Hold on? 9923 How are things here?"
9923How are we going?
9923How can you doubt it if you have read the papers during the last six months?
9923How did you get in here?
9923How did you get on to this?
9923How do you know that I received one?
9923How do you know that?
9923How does she know about us?
9923How is it that you are so well- informed?
9923How long was he suspected of being in the pay of our enemies before this thing transpired?
9923How on earth can he afford a trip like this? 9923 How will the man Phillips''death affect your plans?"
9923How''s that, sir?
9923How''s that, sir?
9923I beg your pardon, Captain,he said,"could I have a word with you?"
9923I beg your pardon,he said,"was I mistaken or did I hear my name?"
9923I mean that it was a pity you missed the boat, you and Hobson, was n''t it? 9923 I must be speaking to Sir Denis Cathley?"
9923I really can not understand,she murmured,"how he became a friend-- a friend--""A friend of whom?"
9923I scarcely follow you, Mr.--Ought I to know your name? 9923 I see,"the detective admitted,"but, considering the way in which we have found it, you are not suggesting, I hope, that we should not open it?"
9923I suppose it still is Miss Sharey, is it? 9923 I suppose we shall meet again in London?"
9923I suppose you know that he is in France?
9923I suppose you know, Dix, that he was connected with the Secret Service at the English Embassy?
9923I suppose, as we have the pleasure of your company this evening,the captain intervened,"Miss Beverley will be an absentee?"
9923I wonder what he really thinks about his patient?
9923I''ve got a peach of a black gown-- you wo n''t mind if I am twenty minutes?
9923I? 9923 If you put it like that,"Gant grunted,"why not to- day?"
9923If you think that I am,she observed,"why are you always slinging that Beverley girl at me?"
9923In France?
9923In that case, supposing I offer you now one hundred guineas for the box?
9923In time to save the British Army, eh?
9923Is it a big thing?
9923Is it in the shape of a drawing?
9923Is it my fancy, I wonder, or does he drink a few too many cocktails when he is on leave?
9923Is it necessary with me?
9923Is it quite kind to bring me into an affair of this sort?
9923Is it really a fake?
9923Is n''t it true that Jocelyn Thew is interested in your mysterious patient?
9923Is n''t there supposed to be a German raider out?
9923Is that a threat?
9923Is that quite honest?
9923Is that so?
9923Is there anything for us in this, my friend?
9923Is there anything more to tell me?
9923Is this man Jocelyn Thew connected with it in any way?
9923Is this really the way that they shoot,she asked,"or are n''t they trying to hit us?"
9923Is this the end, then?
9923Is this true?
9923It is n''t yet sold, I hope?
9923It''s no use thinking of a tug, I suppose?
9923Just how am I to size that up, though?
9923Kind of a challenge, is n''t it? 9923 Kind of lonesome, is n''t it?"
9923Know what?
9923Letters?
9923Look here,he said,"for myself it does n''t matter-- you know that-- but what game are you playing?
9923May I ask you a question-- straight?
9923May I come in?
9923May I sit down for a moment?
9923May I, in that case,he begged,"share your promenade?"
9923Meaning, sir?
9923Miss Beverley,he began,"will you allow me to ask you how long you have known Mr. Jocelyn Thew?"
9923Miss Sharey up- stairs?
9923Miss Sharey?
9923More of Crawshay''s tomfoolery, I suppose?
9923Mr. Jocelyn Thew,she complained,"tell me why you persist in treating me like a child?"
9923Mr. Thew himself, then, has made no attempt to visit it?
9923Must you put it like that? 9923 My-- what?"
9923No message, eh? 9923 Not a cigar?"
9923Now ask the_ Blucher_ her exact course?
9923Now what about an hour or two at a music- hall? 9923 Of what nature?"
9923Only gallantry? 9923 Or I you for your company?"
9923Perhaps, Miss Beverley, you can throw some light upon this?
9923Perhaps,Jocelyn Thew observed, as he watched Crawshay disappear,"you need some taking care of, eh, Nora?"
9923Perhaps,he said,"if I went on I might put just one card too many on the table, eh?"
9923Pity you had to make it, was n''t it?
9923Police headquarters speaking? 9923 Questions?
9923Robins, your name, eh? 9923 Say, Katharine, what about lunch?"
9923Say, which of us is the detective-- you or me?
9923Searched your stateroom?
9923She has come to pick up your papers, maybe?
9923Ship''s business, Doctor?
9923Should n''t we have heard of it?
9923So far as regards our two selves,she enquired,"do we meet as strangers upon the steamer?"
9923So that''s the stunt, is it?
9923So you are not going to be nice to me?
9923So you fly over the German lines most days, eh?
9923So you have enemies?
9923So you have n''t finished with adventures yet?
9923Soaked your shore clothes, eh?
9923Soldiering? 9923 Some brains, eh?"
9923Something catching, eh?
9923Steamer''s still following us, is n''t she?
9923Still, some day or other I suppose you expected a visit from me?
9923Surely you are not in earnest?
9923Tell me about these liberties, Captain?
9923Tell me one thing, wo n''t you? 9923 Tell me what you think of him?"
9923Tell me, Mr. Crawshay,he asked,"how long was the gap of time between your losing sight of Jocelyn Thew and when you picked him up in London?"
9923Tell us, Denis Cathley, what brought you back, then? 9923 That I should nurse him-- should cross with him to London?"
9923That amounts to the same thing, does n''t it? 9923 That is rather his affair, is it not?"
9923That was the affair down at the Murchison country house, was n''t it?
9923That was why you got mixed up with that German crew, eh?
9923That you, Rentoul?
9923The man was dead, of course?
9923The performance is, I believe, on behalf of the Red Cross?
9923The story''s good enough,a ferret- faced little man at his elbow acknowledged,"but is it true?"
9923Then there is some sort of conspiracy going on?
9923Then what in thunder sent you here after an American liner on a seaplane?
9923Then you are not satisfied yet?
9923Then you were thinking very hard this morning?
9923Then you''re not going to ask Dick to do anything of that sort?
9923There is a change in his condition, then?
9923They were the chaps with the red roses, were n''t they?
9923They''ve held on, then, in these parts?
9923Think something of yourself, do n''t you?
9923Tough, was n''t it?
9923Under arrest?
9923Upon no conditions?
9923Want my advice?
9923Was it likely that I should own to it there, in the heart of London, with a price upon my head, and half a dozen people within earshot? 9923 Was it really so terribly important,"she enquired,"that you should be in London next week?"
9923Was there a hearse waiting?
9923Well, have you come to pronounce sentence upon me?
9923Well, what about her?
9923Well, what about him?
9923Well,she exclaimed,"he does put it over you, does n''t he?
9923Well?
9923Well?
9923Well?
9923Were these detectives from Liverpool,she asked,"able to keep any watch upon Doctor Gant and Mr. Jocelyn Thew after-- Chester?"
9923Were you thinking about the young lady, sir?
9923What about Miss Beverley then?
9923What about getting an innocent girl turned out of a job at Washington, though?
9923What about him?
9923What about speed, Captain?
9923What about the Englishman, Crawshay, and Sam Hobson?
9923What about the police examination?
9923What are you going to do about it?
9923What are you going to say?
9923What can I do for you, Mr. Crawshay? 9923 What can I do?"
9923What chance of fog is there?
9923What concern is all this of yours?
9923What difference do I make?
9923What do you make of that fellow, Dix?
9923What do you mean?
9923What does he call himself?
9923What does he want here?
9923What does it mean?
9923What else am I here for? 9923 What else should there be?"
9923What else?
9923What facts?
9923What for?
9923What happened?
9923What has the world done to you,she demanded,"that you should speak so bitterly?"
9923What is going to happen to me?
9923What is his name?
9923What is it, then?
9923What is it? 9923 What is the nature of his illness?"
9923What is this?
9923What message?
9923What news, Henshaw?
9923What on earth are we up to?
9923What the devil for?
9923What was this service?
9923What will happen if she finds us?
9923What''s that about a price on your head? 9923 What''s that you''re saying, Nora?
9923What''s that?
9923What''s that?
9923What''s the matter with the chap, anyway?
9923What''s to prevent that fellow Robins bringing her right on to our track?
9923What''s wrong with him?
9923What''s wrong with him?
9923What, search every one on board?
9923What, the man who is supposed to be dying?
9923When? 9923 Where did you say he was staying?"
9923Where have you been to these three years, man, that you''ve heard nothing?
9923Where to?
9923Which won-- in history?
9923Who does the captain think she is, then?
9923Who is he,she asked,"and what does his coming mean to you?"
9923Who is he?
9923Who is it?
9923Who is she?
9923Who said that my patient was on the point of death?
9923Who won the Wars of the Roses?
9923Who won?
9923Who''s the man, anyway?
9923Why are n''t they trying?
9923Why dangerous?
9923Why do n''t you come up here, then?
9923Why do you connect him with the present enterprise?
9923Why do you pretend to be afraid?
9923Why ever speak of them?
9923Why have you changed your mind?
9923Why not the purser and captain, while he''s about it?
9923Why not?
9923Why not?
9923Why not?
9923Why not?
9923Why should I? 9923 Why should you ask that question?"
9923Why, d----n it, boy,he exclaimed, striking the table with his fist,"maybe you do n''t know, then?
9923Why, it was really you, then, dining last night with that fellow Crawshay?
9923Why, of course, there have been great changes, have n''t there? 9923 Why,"Mr. Dix demanded,"should anything in the shape of violence take place?
9923Why? 9923 Why?"
9923Why?
9923Will he be buried at sea?
9923Will he ever get well?
9923Will you excuse me for one moment, Miss Sharey?
9923Will you forgive me if I beg you to change the subject?
9923Will you make a fresh start, Mr. Jocelyn Thew, with twice that sum of money to your credit?
9923Will you tell me what induced you to do this?
9923Wireless? 9923 Would you do it again for the same money?"
9923Yes, Nora?
9923Yes?
9923You are fighting out there in France?
9923You are going to send the message, then?
9923You are going to telephone to that chap with the dark moustache-- Brightman, is n''t it? 9923 You are going to treat me as an enemy?"
9923You are going to walk?
9923You are ill?
9923You are not staying over here now that the war has come?
9923You are pretty strong in that line, are n''t you?
9923You are quite sure the third place is n''t a mistake?
9923You are satisfied,Mr. Brown asked,"with the aid which you are getting from Scotland Yard?"
9923You are staying here, then?
9923You are the man who boarded the steamer from a seaplane, are n''t you, and pretended afterwards to be such a ninny?
9923You burnt them-- yourself?
9923You can at least tell me your own name, or the name of the firm whom you represent?
9923You did n''t come over with Jocelyn Thew, did you, Nora?
9923You did n''t get the stuff at Halifax, then?
9923You did n''t part with the stuff?
9923You do n''t like this black silk?
9923You do n''t mind that, do you? 9923 You do n''t propose to tell me, then,"his questioner persisted,"the contents of that message?"
9923You do n''t suppose for a moment,she said,"that my sympathies are not with my own country and our joint cause?"
9923You find him stupid?
9923You had an uncomfortable ride, I fear?
9923You have had full reports, sir, I suppose?
9923You have n''t been getting Katharine mixed up in any crooked business?
9923You heard what was said last night?
9923You helped to carry the coffin out, did n''t you?
9923You know him?
9923You know his people, do you?
9923You know it''s the_ Blucher_?
9923You know that Jocelyn Thew is here? 9923 You know that he sent me these?"
9923You know the manner in which the documents were brought into this country?
9923You mean that you are going away altogether to- night?
9923You realise, of course,he went on,"that there is only one man who could have placed them there?"
9923You really knew nothing, then, until those things were discovered in your stateroom?
9923You really know something about him, then? 9923 You recognised me then, Timothy?"
9923You see that man?
9923You suffer from nerves, do n''t you?
9923You think there is anything between those two-- Katharine Beverley and him?
9923You want to make me jealous of Katharine Beverley?
9923You were n''t best pleased to see them together, I should think, were you?
9923You will not object,the detective enquired,"to my opening it?"
9923You will not think that I am taking a liberty, Miss Beverley, if I ask you a question?
9923You will remember,Crawshay enjoined,"that little mandate I showed you?"
9923You wish to see me?
9923You would n''t care,the latter suggested,"to let me go down and have a look at him?
9923You''re angry with him, are n''t you?
9923You-- did I understand you to say that you were in personal attendance upon a patient?
9923You?
9923Your brother, I hope, is well?
9923_ Mum cordon rouge_?
9923Adventurer?
9923After that, why not leave him alone?"
9923Agnes''s?"
9923Am I under arrest or anything?"
9923An Englishman?"
9923And by- the- by, did I tell you that I have been fortunate enough to find a pair of rubbers that just fit me, at the barber''s?
9923And listen.--Do you hear that?"
9923And treasonous to whom?
9923Any other luggage?"
9923Any relation to the young Sinn Feiner who was shot in Dublin a few months ago?"
9923Anything you''d like to add?"
9923Are n''t you terrified?"
9923Are you known here?
9923Are you not an American?"
9923At what time would you like me to come and help you change the bandages?"
9923But what have I done?"
9923But why do you say''your country''?
9923But you know the man Phillips, who''d been operated upon for appendicitis-- your patient, Miss Beverley, who died during the voyage?"
9923By the way,"he went on, turning towards the detective,"is it my fancy or have I not had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Brightman in America?
9923By- the- by, are you interested in her?"
9923Ca n''t you believe that there may be ties between two men stronger even than between a man and the woman he loves?"
9923Ca n''t you hear them, how they will whisper in the lobby after we have left?
9923Ca n''t you let me know for whom you were trying to buy it?
9923Ca n''t you treat me as a friend?"
9923Ca n''t you treat me as such?"
9923Can you tell me honestly that you enjoy it, that you have no fear?"
9923Crawshay?"
9923Crawshay?"
9923Crawshay?"
9923Crawshay?"
9923Crawshay?"
9923Crawshay?"
9923Crawshay?"
9923Crawshay?"
9923Crawshay?"
9923Crawshay?"
9923Did you know of the presence of those papers and dispatch box amongst your belongings?"
9923Did you send this dispatch or did you not?"
9923Dix?"
9923Do I look as though I were worrying about that?"
9923Do n''t you remember, I went there for a month on trial as telephone operator, just before the election?
9923Do n''t you understand,"he went on,"that if I pass from the shadow of this danger, there is another more imminent, more certain?"
9923Do you care to hand Mr. Dix your keys?"
9923Do you get that, Crawshay?"
9923Do you know of any one who has missed the boat?"
9923Do you know what it fetched?"
9923Do you really know me so little, my friend of few perceptions?
9923Do you think that he would have lived if he had not undertaken the journey?"
9923Do you wish to change your clothes first, or shall we turn in at a grill room?"
9923Ever flown before?"
9923Explorer?
9923From which do you seriously consider we have most to fear,"he went on,"mines, submarines, or predatory vessels of the type of the_ Blucher_?"
9923Good business, eh?''"
9923Have we any of us-- my brother or father or I-- hesitated to run any possible risk when it was worth while?
9923Have we such a wonderful cargo, then?"
9923Have you any objection to answering a few questions?"
9923Have you burnt everything?"
9923Have you formed any theory at all as to where they may be concealed?"
9923He has got some sort of a hold, has n''t he?
9923He really is a bad lot?"
9923How did you get here?"
9923How does that work out?"
9923How much did you lose, Richard?''
9923I am very sure they are asking themselves--''When is the transfer of documents to take place?''"
9923I am wondering whether I dare ask you for a farewell greeting?"
9923I ask you again, why and to whom were you advertising our whereabouts and course?"
9923I begin to wonder whether I know the whole truth about this frantic desire of his to reach England before he dies?"
9923I do n''t suppose you want to be in it?"
9923I do wish you would sit down, and are you quite sure that you wo n''t have some tea or something?"
9923I find the purser,"he added, dropping his voice,"an excellent fellow, no doubt, but just a trifle unsympathetic, eh?"
9923I guess we''re going to have a cocktail together, are n''t we?"
9923I have just consented to take the chairmanship of a committee to form field hospitals throughout the country, and--""May I interrupt for one moment?"
9923I hope you will join us?"
9923I presume that I am at liberty now to take my bath?"
9923I put it to you, sir-- was that dispatch for you?"
9923I suppose you realise that I am fully qualified?"
9923I understood you to say, I think, that you have heard nothing by wireless about me?"
9923I was only going to ask you if you would mind telling me what our friend Mr. Crawshay was talking to you about just now?"
9923I wonder if I might ask; without your considering it a liberty, what he was talking to you about?"
9923I wonder whether you think that I am going to be any use to you-- that you''ll trap Jocelyn Thew through me?"
9923If you are in town for a holiday, if you have no business to worry you just at present, why not practise on me for a time?
9923Is it anything-- anything against the law, this business you''re on?
9923Is it for money?"
9923Is it money?"
9923Is it not true that you have made me an unknowing participator in an illegal act?"
9923Is it so very personal?"
9923Is it too late for me to ask for the one greatest thing of all of the only person who could count-- who ever has counted?
9923Is that name known to you?"
9923Is there anything wrong?"
9923Is this your carriage?
9923It seems a pity, does n''t it,"she went on sympathetically,"that that wonderful voyage of yours was taken for nothing?
9923Jocelyn,"she went on, with a sudden earnestness in her tone,"you''re going to leave him alone, are n''t you?
9923Look me up when you come, wo n''t you?"
9923Lower down you will see the message which he sent under my superintendence later on--""Superintendence?"
9923Now what are you going to do?"
9923Please tell me exactly what happened?
9923Say, what''s wrong with you?
9923Shall I give them a hint, Gant?"
9923Shall I knock it down at that?"
9923Shall I thank you for your dinner?"
9923She had been guilty-- of what?
9923So Crawshay found you out?"
9923So he is in this thing, is he?"
9923Surely he was a clerk at one of the drygoods stores down- town?"
9923Tell me what possible consideration was brought to bear upon you to induce you to accept your present situation?"
9923Tell me why it must be?"
9923Tell me, are you right up at the front?"
9923That is worth something, eh?"
9923That''s so, is n''t it, Hobson?"
9923The first is, are you prepared to produce the Marconigram which you received last evening?"
9923The immediate question, however, is are you going to submit to search or not?"
9923The man who stands clear of them has an extra chance or two-- Say, what time this evening?"
9923Then what you really want is to make love to me yourself?
9923There can be no mystery about his illness, can there, doctor-- no reason why I should not go and see him?"
9923There was no charge made?"
9923Thew?"
9923Thew?"
9923Was n''t he introduced to Jocelyn Thew?"
9923We got your dispatch.--What''s that?--Well?--Chief Downs is on the way, eh?--Just started?
9923We should have heard of it one way or another.--Do you see who''s sitting over there in a corner?"
9923We''ll have that car traced, and--""Does any one know what time Mr. Jocelyn Thew left the steamer?"
9923Were you trying to pick up the_ Blucher?_""I was n''t trying to pick up anybody,"the young man faltered.
9923What are you?
9923What do I do?
9923What does that mean?''
9923What ever brought you across, Katharine?"
9923What exactly is the matter with your charge?"
9923What have I done wrong?"
9923What hold had he upon you that he should have induced you to leave your work and your home and betray your country?"
9923What is it?
9923What is it?"
9923What is the motive of it all?
9923What is the reason of it?
9923What was the weather like in Chicago?"
9923What was this special errand you spoke of?"
9923What would you call it, I wonder?--Buccaneer?
9923What would you do with a place like that?"
9923What''s that?"
9923When are you going?"
9923When do you leave?"
9923Where did you mean to stay?"
9923Where''s Downs?"
9923Who will make me an offer for Box B?
9923Who will offer me, say, twenty- five guineas to start the bidding?"
9923Who will start the bidding at forty guineas?"
9923Why ca n''t you satisfy that part of your nature as Dick is doing?
9923Why do n''t you join one of these irregular forces and fight?"
9923Why do you do that?"
9923Why do you keep us both, Mr. Thew, in such a state of uneasiness?
9923Why does he spend another entire evening with these two?"
9923Why not go home?
9923Why not to- morrow?"
9923Why-- you know?"
9923Why?"
9923Will you believe that?
9923Will you believe that?"
9923Will you dine with me to- night and let me invite him to meet you?"
9923Will you step into the box office with us?"
9923Will you tell me then, why, when I spoke to you at the Savoy Restaurant the other night, you denied your own identity?
9923Will you wish us luck?"
9923Wo n''t you in return treat me, if not as a confederate, as a friend?"
9923You are not, I presume, a medical man yourself?"
9923You have n''t any scheme in your head for making use of him?"
9923You have n''t heard of it?"
9923You know him by name, of course-- Michael Dilwyn?"
9923You know what it means, I suppose, to communicate with the enemy?"
9923You know whom he married?"
9923You never mentioned Thew in any of your letters, Katharine?"
9923You people did the only wise thing-- brother to San Francisco, eh, your father to Chicago, and you over here?"
9923You saw him with us last night?"
9923You see how the packet is addressed?"
9923You see my couple of guns?
9923You see those two men-- one seated in the easy- chair and the other on its arm?"
9923You think, then, that the red roses are more emblematic of warfare than of love?"
9923You trust her?"
9923You were a fine friend to Richard Beverley once, but surely his sister has done her best to pay his debt?
9923You were a trifle disappointed then, were n''t you?"
9923You will excuse me?
9923You will honour me, Miss Beverley?"
9923You will understand me, will you not, when I say that I can neither take your money, nor accept your friendship after this voyage is over?
9923You''ll be close to Charing Cross, wo n''t you, Richard, and you wo n''t have to leave until ten o''clock?"
9923You''re fine, Dick, but what does it all mean?"
9923You''re up against him now, are n''t you?"
9923You''ve missed none of our letters, by any chance?"
9923Your idea is, then, that Jocelyn Thew has some hold over them?"
9923he persisted,"the bandages?"
9923you appreciate that, do you?"
39544''Ard? 39544 ''Bout five miles from here, is n''t it, Chester?"
39544''Ow did Hi begin?
39544''Ow did you set it?
39544''Ow''s that for a partnership sign?
39544''Ow''s that for a tooth, Bobbs?
39544''Ow? 39544 A box full of gunpowder placed there by Floyd?"
39544A call on Rob? 39544 A gunniff?
39544A hundred?
39544A hut?
39544A little to the left, with the fingers pointing to the door?
39544A lost glove?
39544A man could not start that fire in Cazenove street at 3:30 and reach your house in Woodlawn at 3:45, could he?
39544A right- hand glove?
39544A very loud report?
39544A vitriol- throwing case?
39544A will?
39544A young man, you say? 39544 About how often do you get your hair cut from winter to winter?"
39544About what hour?
39544About when could I see him if I should wait?
39544Account not satisfactory?
39544Across the fields?
39544After the fire?
39544Ah, Sire, you know the solution of all this mystery, do n''t you? 39544 Ai n''t he a dandy bloke?"
39544All checks in payment for services rendered pass through you?
39544All the way from the city? 39544 Always?
39544Am I to be prosecuted for that also?
39544Am I to understand that Brother Shagarach, representing, I presume, the interests of the other nephew, refers to some previously existing testament?
39544And Mrs. Arnold called on Floyd, I believe, at about 2:45?
39544And a cousin of the accused?
39544And a house at Woodlawn?
39544And are so still?
39544And arrived at your uncle''s toward three?
39544And as a matter of fact, you were back in Woodlawn almost before the first stream of water was played upon the burning building?
39544And as a result of these quarrels your uncle disinherited you?
39544And as full as this is?
39544And can slip out and in unobserved?
39544And consequently by some one else than Floyd?
39544And fire these woods? 39544 And from whom did she get it?"
39544And gave the alarm, did you not?
39544And got off at Woodlawn?
39544And greens?
39544And hath Saul Aronson done this?
39544And his accent was somewhat hard to follow?
39544And his safe with the papers in it?
39544And how about Mungovan and the Greeley woman?
39544And how did he describe the room?
39544And how did you happen to go home to Sweden?
39544And how much of the powder?
39544And in coming out?
39544And inform you of Hodgkins''detention?
39544And it starts so early in the morning?
39544And must you lave me, father dear?
39544And no boat?
39544And none of the neighbors saw Arnold coming out?
39544And of the second?
39544And perhaps the outlines blurred still more in your memory by the lapse of time?
39544And saw the accused, Robert Floyd?
39544And shun the blessed synagogue?
39544And so spares you the blues?
39544And surely you are not going to remain in?
39544And the accused gave you to understand that he had undertaken the construction of just such a bomb?
39544And the boy each time refused?
39544And the first?
39544And the flames broke out shortly after he went out?
39544And the grains on the knees of his trousers, where they may have spilled?
39544And the meerschaum pipe-- of rare coloring, according to the connoisseur who testified in the previous trial?
39544And the ordinary marks of grief, as you say, are tears?
39544And the powder found in it?
39544And the powder in Floyd''s coat pockets?
39544And the safe?
39544And the second of the explosions?
39544And the violin is in your vest pocket, I suppose?
39544And the water- lily, Robert?
39544And this fire started at 3:30?
39544And were you lost up there?
39544And what did you do?
39544And what statement did the accused make regarding his knowledge of the will?
39544And what street?
39544And what was he saying?
39544And when did he stop coming?
39544And when did you arrive?
39544And when you proposed that Fenton should ride the bicycle over to your shop, what was Riley''s conduct then?
39544And when?
39544And where does the passageway lead?
39544And where?
39544And which are your especial favorites?
39544And will he postpone it?
39544And would swear his life away on the strength of your recollection?
39544And you did n''t keep a ladder resting against the front of your house, usually?
39544And you did n''t know whether the will disinherited you or not?
39544And you differed from your uncle on other points, did you not?
39544And you found him not unreasonably exacting?
39544And you have known the prisoner all this time?
39544And you introduced Miss Lamb and Mr. Aronson about the second hair- cut before that?
39544And you lied again when you testified to the contrary?
39544And you lied to the court awhile ago when you said that you were rich?
39544And you reckon time by the occasions when your hair needs cutting?
39544And you seem to have believed him?
39544And you talked with him, Robert?
39544And yourself, may I ask?
39544And, leaving the train at Woodlawn at 3:45, he could have arrived in your house at 3:48, could he not?
39544And-- and disinherited the nephew?
39544Another one from Upsala?
39544Any odor?
39544Anything else?
39544Anything else?
39544Anything further?
39544Are n''t you done guzzling yet?
39544Are n''t you sure?
39544Are not these the primary hues, the major chord of color, and the white their perfect blending?
39544Are there any further details you desire to add to this recital?
39544Are there not black- eyed daughters of Israel,cried old Barentzen, mild- voiced and reproving,"who will make him a home?
39544Are there not doctors to explain those parts which are dark?
39544Are they real Indians?
39544Are they sisters?
39544Are those books in existence to- day?
39544Are we near the beach?
39544Are we near?
39544Are we to understand that he broke into the safe before the will was placed there?
39544Are we to understand,said the district attorney, listening intently,"that you passed this long period in a species of reverie or trance?"
39544Are you a gentile or a Jew?
39544Are you aware, Mr. Floyd, of the gravity of the position in which Miss Lund''s testimony involves you? 39544 Are you better, mister?"
39544Are you cutting into the wall?
39544Are you guilty or not guilty, Robert Floyd?
39544Are you hurt, Meyer?
39544Are you ready?
39544Are you sawing the bars?
39544Are you sure this is the man Aronson who visited you?
39544Arnold mansion? 39544 Arnold mansion?
39544Arnold or Floyd?
39544As a convert, then? 39544 As executor, then, did you try to uphold the will of your friend?"
39544As though he were meditating upon something else than the death of his uncle?
39544As to the signature and writing? 39544 As to your share?"
39544At 8 o''clock?
39544At Arnold''s?
39544At what time,asked Shagarach,"did the explosion take place?
39544At you?
39544Avarice, Miss Barlow? 39544 Badly so, I should say?"
39544Between whom?
39544Bonnie Scotland? 39544 Brown paper burns more quickly than white?"
39544But Floyd, you say, expressed sympathy with the anarchists?
39544But a radical of some sort?
39544But did Dr. Silsby have nothing with him when he called?
39544But he paid you in full?
39544But how do you hide the cuts in the bars when any one comes?
39544But never includes any useful occupation, I believe?
39544But out of these hundred or more you have a distinct recollection of this one, the accused?
39544But surely the letters are connected with our case, and who else could it be?
39544But surely there are exceptions?
39544But the danger-- was it not there the canoeist was drowned last year?
39544But the first one positively came from the study?
39544But the motive, McCausland?
39544But the servants-- do you know where they may be found?
39544But the young man stated that he was studying up anarchism?
39544But they did n''t mind it?
39544But wha-- wha-- what made her go to Europe?
39544But what has occurred to cause you to reconstruct your theory?
39544But what was it all about?
39544But who could have done it, Bertha?
39544But who would have the heart to set it?
39544But why did he cast him off at the eleventh hour?
39544But why should I not visit you, Robert?
39544But would Sire have allowed a stranger even to enter the study?
39544But you are not seriously going out on deck?
39544But you brought the violin to- day?
39544But you have kept your repentance to yourself until now, have you not?
39544But you knew it was in the safe?
39544But you loaned her the money?
39544But you never worked very hard, I fancy, with your blouse and your dinner- pail?
39544But you will try to bring it back, Bertha? 39544 But, acting on the possibility that there might be a will there, which might disinherit you, you ran away and left the house to burn?"
39544By whom were you so informed?
39544By whom?
39544Ca n''t I get a carriage to drive me there?
39544Ca n''t a lady go abroad if she chooses? 39544 Ca n''t we dance to that tune, boys?"
39544Ca n''t yer swim?
39544Ca n''t you read?
39544Called his nephew a rogue to be herding with such cattle?
39544Called on June 27, as he had promised to?
39544Can I lodge here for the night?
39544Can a cat jump through a keyhole? 39544 Can it be Harry Arnold would employ such an agent?"
39544Can it be Shagarach''s man?
39544Can that be the girl we know?
39544Can you count?
39544Can you leave your business?
39544Can you now fix more precisely the moment of the door slam, which you say convinced you of Ellen''s departure?
39544Can you see the side door opening from the passageway?
39544City editor of the Beacon, I believe?
39544Come to engage my services for Floyd?
39544Common gunpowder?
39544Confession, ho, ho-- wot do Hi want of a confession? 39544 Confession?
39544Could n''t he have procured these materials in some less public way if secrecy had been an object with him?
39544Could n''t you fix the time exactly? 39544 Could n''t you send for him?"
39544Could you describe the study again, Bertha, just as it looked when you were dusting it, with Robert standing over the hearth?
39544Could you take us there now?
39544Did Floyd seem to mind it, when you saw him after these''quarrels,''as you call them?
39544Did Floyd set it?
39544Did he ask you for particular directions?
39544Did he object or suggest a postponement?
39544Did n''t he always talk loudly?
39544Did n''t he say that he sympathized with Dr. Hyndman''s objects, but not his methods?
39544Did n''t his mother know Harry was arrested?
39544Did n''t meet a maniac with a gash in his forehead on the way back, did you?
39544Did n''t this picture of the study, which you have quoted, come in as part of his description of a law case?
39544Did n''t you know these things?
39544Did the Beacon ever give Floyd an assignment to write up anarchy?
39544Did you actually call on the afternoon of the fire?
39544Did you believe so on Saturday, while you were in the room with Miss Lund?
39544Did you ever hear tell o''such savages, Archie?
39544Did you ever introduce Mr. Aronson to Miss Lamb?
39544Did you find any manuscript or notes of an article on anarchism in the desk occupied by the accused?
39544Did you furnish him the shell or envelope of this projected bomb?
39544Did you get the roses for Miss March?
39544Did you have any conversation with him at that time?
39544Did you know the man who was captured here yesterday?
39544Did you let Floyd know of your coming?
39544Did you listen so as to hear the import of any of these conversations?
39544Did you mean to emphasize the tearlessness of the accused as the principal feature of his bearing which attracted your attention?
39544Did you not know when you entered the house that the safe was unopened, owing to Hodgkins''detention?
39544Did you not see him yourself at the gentile ceremony raising his hands?
39544Did you notice any foreign substance-- any accumulation of what might afford fuel for a fire?
39544Did you notice anything about his hands? 39544 Did you notice anything underneath it?"
39544Did you notice anything unusual in the appearance of the accused?
39544Did you notice anything unusual in the relations between the accused and his uncle?
39544Did you notice he had only one glove on?
39544Did you notice how the defendant''s jaws are set?
39544Did you notice the expression on that woman who went out?

39544Did you see anything in his hands at the time?
39544Did you see the accused riding on that train?
39544Did you set the fire?
39544Did you succeed?
39544Dinna ye mean the sword dance?
39544Do I need a compass with the flora to guide me? 39544 Do n''t expect to be limber after ridin''twenty miles on a car truck, do yer, Turkey?
39544Do n''t they fine the boys who mutilate foliage in the parks?
39544Do n''t you know that letter was written by Ellen Greeley to you?
39544Do n''t you know wot a gunniff is, Bobbs? 39544 Do n''t you remember that he merely made an anarchistic speech, in denunciation of society?"
39544Do n''t you think the writer''s brain has a flaw in it?
39544Do rich people generally pawn their family heirlooms and permit them to be sold?
39544Do you agree, Count L''Alienado?
39544Do you also know a young lady named Miss Serena Lamb?
39544Do you confound genius with salability? 39544 Do you count a gunniff a perfessional in this''ere country?"
39544Do you fawncy Hi''d''urt you, Bobbs, me hangel? 39544 Do you happen to know whether Dr. Hyndman is a philosophical anarchist or not?"

39544Do you know whether he advocates bomb- throwing?
39544Do you know young Arnold?
39544Do you know, there has been the oddest peddler around here for the last three weeks?
39544Do you live in Hillsborough?
39544Do you mean that it separates earth from heaven?
39544Do you mean to testify that you informed Floyd by letter the hour at which you would call?
39544Do you not remember, Emily, that I brought you one that evening? 39544 Do you recall the explosions which took place?"
39544Do you recognize the youth who is entering?
39544Do you remember a man named Reddy?
39544Do you remember falling into a species of trance on that occasion?
39544Do you remember forfeiting several thousand dollars to him one evening in a certain room?
39544Do you remember the particular occasion which started your discussion of anarchism with the accused?
39544Do you remember what was on your right hand when you awoke?
39544Do you remember where you wore this glove last?
39544Do you remember?
39544Do you see Reddy looking down?

39544Does he climb the stairs softly?
39544Does he enter the study?
39544Does he listen cautiously?
39544Does he practice clairvoyance?
39544Does he think they will grow that way?
39544Does n''t it make you shudder?
39544Dr. Silsby has been to see you, Robert?
39544Drown him? 39544 During six months?"
39544During your twenty- nine years of experience,asked Shagarach,"have you ever failed to arrive at the conclusion your employers expected?"
39544Ee? 39544 Ellen Greeley sleeping in the attic chamber, who slammed the door?"
39544Ellen is safe, I hope?
39544Emily?
39544Encumbered largely through your extravagance?
39544Fence? 39544 For a family of two?"
39544For the emperor''s wisdom?
39544For the love of heaven, will you ring the alarm?
39544For what purpose did you understand that the accused wanted this powder and this fuse?
39544For what purpose?
39544For what purpose?
39544Forenoon or afternoon?
39544From one Simon Rabofsky, a money- lender, was it not?
39544From what quarter do you suppose these rumors of Floyd''s disinheritance arose?
39544From whom did you understand this?
39544From whom?
39544Gad, then I owe you$ 5,000,000----"Did you come here to insult me?
39544Gave you his card?
39544Generally?
39544Going to hang some one, Dick?
39544Gum?
39544Ha, ha; what will you reform-- yourself first, I suppose?
39544Had Dr. Hyndman thrown a bomb?
39544Had it an occupant?
39544Had n''t you met your mother that afternoon?
39544Ham I? 39544 Harry Arnold?
39544Harry was ill at the time, I believe?
39544Has Arnold set the place on fire?
39544Has Bill Dobbs been taken yet?
39544Has any one a compass?
39544Has he enormous zygomae, ear- lobes attached to his cheek?
39544Has her son any interest in Prof. Arnold''s estate?
39544Have I slept out o''night in the woods since I was so high to be frightened by a little miscalculation of time? 39544 Have n''t you any father?"
39544Have the jewels been redeemed?
39544Have they a girl in help named Bertha Lund?
39544Have they all been returned?

39544Have you been visited, Bagley, by any one, since you were let out on bail?
39544Have you calculated, as requested, the total sums paid to Robert Floyd for special articles during the time of his employment?
39544Have you chosen your subject?
39544Have you come to inquire about my health?
39544Have you ever had any conversation with him on the subject of your uncle''s will?
39544Have you ever met the accused?
39544Have you examined the papers submitted to you by Inspector McCausland?
39544Have you preserved the contents of that desk?
39544He drew up the will himself, then? 39544 He is not perfectly familiar with our language as yet?"
39544He is still in jail? 39544 He might, however, start the fire at 3:28 and reach your house at 3:48?"
39544He rides in on the Northern line usually, I presume?
39544He threatened them, then?
39544He was a convert to your faith?
39544He was a handsome young man, then? 39544 He was n''t here Saturday?"
39544He was n''t so foolish as to leave his name, however?
39544He? 39544 Heard it?
39544Hello, what are you stripping for?
39544Here, Sawnie, how much will you take for your pipes?
39544Hi ai n''t the fool of the family, ham Hi, Bobbs?
39544His errand boy, then?
39544How are we to distinguish between your lying and truth- telling?
39544How came you to give up the profession of botanist, in which your uncle trained you?
39544How can I ever rebuke you again?
39544How can you tell?
39544How could you know?
39544How did Aronson first present himself to your attention?
39544How did I come here?
39544How did Mrs. Arnold know this fact?
39544How did he tumble in, I wonder? 39544 How did it happen?
39544How did the professor come to postpone his will- making so long?
39544How did you come here?
39544How did you happen to visit the accused at that time?
39544How did you know?
39544How did you smuggle it in?
39544How do you know?
39544How does it happen that you, the sole repository of the secrets of these young law- breakers, can tell us nothing of that?
39544How far is that?
39544How high above the street? 39544 How high from the ground?"
39544How is that competent, your honor?
39544How large a stud of horses do you keep?
39544How long are you back from Lenox?
39544How long before a final hearing will be given me?
39544How long before he comes back? 39544 How long did you remain in his household?"
39544How long had he been converted?
39544How long had the fire been going when you arrived?
39544How long has she been in Woodlawn?
39544How long have you been a servant in the Arnold house, Miss Lund?
39544How long have you been established?
39544How long were you upstairs?
39544How long, Mr. Fowler, would it take for that bomb to explode after the tip of the fuse had ignited?
39544How long?
39544How many in number were the explosions?
39544How many servants?
39544How many souls love Jesus who died on the cross?
39544How many?
39544How much had Floyd earned while with you?
39544How much money did Simon Rabofsky offer you to keep him out of this scrape?
39544How much will you charge?
39544How much?
39544How much?
39544How much?
39544How often did you hear what they said?
39544How often did you repeat this offer?
39544How soon do you expect a trial?
39544How was it lying?
39544How was it? 39544 How was that?"
39544How?
39544How?
39544I believe there was a waste basket in the study?
39544I do not understand,said the district attorney,"that you profess to be an ornamental writer?"
39544I have prostituted art to lucre-- having disposed of my great design of Ajax''s shield-- for what purpose, do you think?
39544I presume you saw or were seen by persons on the way?
39544I say, is n''t tomorrow the Fourth?
39544I suppose I might----"Some second- hand dealer, let us say?
39544I suppose she likes the services better?
39544I wonder if Count L''Alienado''s jewel has not a legend attached to it?
39544I wonder who that can be?
39544I''ve a notion you''d be a bad man to cross, Dobbs, eh?
39544If God writes a legible hand, that man''s a villain,he quoted from the old- time actor;"what name do you go by?"
39544If not, how can you explain those four hours of forgetfulness-- I mean, of course, to the satisfaction of a jury?
39544If you require money, however, you simply ask for it and it comes forth like the genii of the lamp?
39544In all? 39544 In one minute?
39544In religion?
39544In the city, you mean?
39544In the forenoon or afternoon?
39544In the parlor of your house?
39544In the same letter in which you requested him to lock the study?
39544In what capacity?
39544Indeed? 39544 Is Mr. Shagarach in?"
39544Is Mrs. Arnold in there?
39544Is Woodlawn the only station between here and Albany?
39544Is a dog a living thing?
39544Is he crying?
39544Is he so suspicious a man?
39544Is he still at school?
39544Is it Harry Arnold?
39544Is it a body?
39544Is it a file?
39544Is it forbidden to search for wisdom?
39544Is it loaded?
39544Is it not amusing? 39544 Is it not pleasanter in here, mother?"
39544Is it over?
39544Is it you, Miss Barlow?
39544Is n''t he noble? 39544 Is n''t it too bad?
39544Is n''t she here?
39544Is n''t there a train which leaves the Southern depot at 3:29?
39544Is n''t this grand? 39544 Is n''t this superb?"
39544Is that Harry Arnold?
39544Is that common in London?
39544Is the man here?
39544Is there any one in the house?
39544Is this house safe? 39544 Is this one of your lies or the truth?"
39544Is this our Mungovan?
39544It had been locked, then?
39544It is not part of your regular business, I presume,said Shagarach,"to furnish anarchists with bombs?"
39544It is not punishable by fine?
39544It is unsigned, unaddressed and undated, is it not?
39544It presented the same appearance as now?
39544It seems to be a part of this chain of events you have just narrated so clearly for us? 39544 It stood just behind the desk, then?"
39544It was Simon Rabofsky''s voice?
39544It was for Dr. Hyndman that Floyd expressed sympathy, was it not?
39544It was the same customer, I suppose? 39544 It was while the accused was in custody of the sheriff, I believe?"
39544Jestin''? 39544 Just what do you mean?"
39544Just when was this slamming of the door, at what time? 39544 Keep what?"
39544Leaving there a little after three?
39544Light dresses are cooler than dark ones?
39544Like him? 39544 Like this one?"
39544Little boy, could you direct me to the Arnold mansion?
39544Lose this glorious sea picture? 39544 Martin Thimblethorpe, then, was the solitary cracksman, and your real name is Dobbs?"
39544May I see the testator''s letter?
39544Medicinal, eh? 39544 Miss Wesner spoke of him today-- a vegetable vender, who has been coming to the Arnold''s for the last few weeks----""How many?"
39544Missed your boat?
39544Misther, will you bury me where Ellen is buried?
39544Mr. Aronson had made this alleged attempt to open a safe on Sunday evening, you said?
39544Mr. Aronson is not an uncommonly tall man, is he?
39544Mr. Aronson told you that he worked on his knees at this mysterious safe?
39544Mr. Floyd was in the study, then?
39544Mr. Rabofsky is a second- hand dealer, I believe?
39544Mrs. Arnold? 39544 Mrs. Arnold?
39544My uncle''s money?
39544Near Broad street?
39544Never corresponded with her?
39544Never saw him before in my life, but----"How often did he come by?
39544Never?
39544No lawyer was present?
39544No what?
39544Not Saturday, the day of the fire?
39544Not a concussion bomb, Mr. Fowler, I suppose?
39544Not drink?
39544Not even the solitary cracksman?
39544Not owing to the fact that he is innocent, you think?
39544Not since this visit of sympathy, do you mean?
39544Not to bring one here?
39544Nothing else?
39544Nothing was saved?
39544Now? 39544 Oaf?
39544Of a higher class than yourself?
39544Of many years''experience?
39544Of the firm of Hodgkins, Hodgkins& Hodgkins?
39544Of your own knowledge you could n''t say when it started?
39544Oh, is it you, Miss Barlow?
39544Oh, must I testify?
39544On Harry Arnold, I mean?
39544On strikes and labor questions and anarchy and----"Will you state what opinions, if any, the defendant expressed in regard to anarchy?
39544On the Arnolds?
39544On the unfrequented side of the station?
39544On what date, if you remember?
39544On what topic?
39544On which floor is this study?
39544Once more, why did you reopen the study on this particular day?
39544One or both?
39544One?
39544Open?
39544Or any messenger from her?
39544Or any stranger about?
39544Or hers?
39544Or in the garments he wore at the time of the fire?
39544Or incendiaries with igniting material?
39544Ought we not to have a rope in case of accident?
39544Our street troubadours distract you?
39544Out of an estate valued at?
39544Out of the$ 309 he earned?
39544Over the hearth, you said?
39544Over? 39544 Particular, was n''t he?"
39544Photographers, dyers, armorers----"The last class with explosives and fulminating compounds, I presume?
39544Pickpocket? 39544 Pitch in and do n''t spare the gravy-- w''ere to?
39544Positive of that?
39544Possible? 39544 Presumably, then, a letter in which both sender and receiver desired to conceal their names?"
39544Prof. Arnold left a will?
39544Putty slick on a horse, ai n''t he?
39544Quirk?
39544Ran against you and knocked you down?
39544Reading?
39544Reddy?
39544Robert-- was Robert in the house when the other fire happened?
39544Run away?
39544Say, freshy, what''s your name?
39544See if her linen is marked?
39544Shagarach is lost to the fold of Israel, but does he chant with cracked voice out of a tattered hymn- book? 39544 Shall I call it''him''?
39544Shall I hypnotize you, Rosalie?
39544Shall we plunge in?
39544She had sold her family jewels, had she not?
39544She kept you in funds?
39544She left in a carriage?
39544She might have driven around, then, for fifteen minutes and returned by the Southern depot just in time to meet you?
39544Should n''t you suppose they would come from market?
39544Shure, how would I know them, misther, all cooped in here like a bat in a cave?
39544Similar to that found in his desk?
39544Since the will was made, then?
39544Sir?
39544Sir?
39544Sir?
39544Sir?
39544Sits the wind in that quarter still, Horatio?
39544Six times? 39544 Slight acquaintance?
39544So rich that I presume you were indifferent whether Prof. Arnold added to your fortunes or not by a bequest of his property?
39544So to- morrow is the day of the trial, Miss Barlow?
39544So you expect me to climb through that hole, Dobbs?
39544So you know peeping Tom, then?
39544Something like this?
39544Speakin''of medders, haow''s hay sellin''?
39544Speaking of philanthropists, Rosalie,said Tristram, to change the subject,"how did you like the noble Earl of Marmouth?"
39544St, Bobbs, hare you ready?
39544Stealing junk, eh?
39544Such as appears in the canvases of Titian?
39544Such as might have been caused by the explosion of the bomb Mr. Fowler described?
39544Such as what?
39544Sure it''s true- blue, Kennedy?
39544Tell him what?
39544Thankful? 39544 That is all?"
39544That is, you sold your plunder to a fence?
39544That remains to be fitted into the developments, I presume?
39544The Church of the Messiah, of the Episcopal denomination?
39544The Henglish? 39544 The actress, Harry?"
39544The artist-- does his genius gain or lose when it is gilded?
39544The bad blood breaks out sometimes?
39544The blokie ascertains where his purse is located?
39544The circle is segmented off into black and white rays, or spots, as we call them----"And red?
39544The explosion of this shell, the construction of which you have just described, would blast away a very considerable obstacle, you say?
39544The hottest day of a hot June, was it not?
39544The incendiary?
39544The keys to the padlock?
39544The letter you handed me? 39544 The letther?
39544The name of his physician?
39544The nest- egg game?
39544The note is in English, is it not?
39544The other heir gets it all?
39544The other points?
39544The purple tea? 39544 The rubies, mother?"
39544The sun, then, was shining down on the desk where the spectacles lay?
39544The supplies for your table are not generally purchased from a common street vender, I presume?
39544The thick- mouthed cove wot gets choked with''is hown Adam''s happle? 39544 The title is very old?"
39544The witnesses are living, then? 39544 Then Ellen went out of the back door and left you and Floyd alone in the house?"
39544Then I need n''t try to be serious?
39544Then all your sympathy expended itself in that single visit?
39544Then how did Floyd learn of your contemplated visit?
39544Then what good would it do you to see your uncle''s study burned if it contained only an empty safe?
39544Then who did? 39544 Then why were you apprehensive?
39544Then wot are you''ere for?
39544Then you could not testify that such notes or such a manuscript were not in existence before the fire?
39544Then you did n''t carry away a very clear idea of the conversation, did you?
39544Then you do disagreeable work from a sense of public duty?
39544Then you had heard of the fire before Sunday morning?
39544Then you have seen the accused frequently since his imprisonment, I presume?
39544Then you lied to her to obtain money?
39544Then you were at fault?
39544Then you were so circumstanced that your disinheritance under your uncle''s will might seriously incommode you?
39544Then, why do you haunt the gentile mountebanks?
39544There was a will drawn, which is not extant, I believe?
39544There was n''t much damage then?
39544There was no tree,asked the district attorney,"whose branches hung near the window?"
39544There was nobody on the bridge?
39544These were the clothes he had worn at the time of the fire, also?
39544They helped you find the peeping Tom?
39544They were your clients?
39544This bomb would have to be fired through the fuse?
39544This generosity is not common among passengers?
39544This took place on June 26, I believe?
39544This was a visit of sympathy?
39544Those were his own words?
39544Three?
39544To Floyd''s desk?
39544To carry where?
39544Told you his name?
39544Two distinct explosions?
39544Two?
39544Up to how far?
39544Upstairs? 39544 W''ere?"
39544W''y not, chummy? 39544 Walking to the right or to the left?"
39544Walter sold it, then?
39544Was any one else in the house at that time?
39544Was he running?
39544Was his first name Saul?
39544Was his will there?
39544Was it Arnold or Mungovan who touched the match?
39544Was it Bertha who came to the door?
39544Was it a year ago?
39544Was it full?
39544Was it not described in the evening papers?
39544Was it the back door or the front door you heard slam, Miss Lund?
39544Was n''t Mr. Aronson agitated on that evening, Miss Lamb?
39544Was n''t he the peddler referred to in Ellen Greeley''s letter?
39544Was n''t his story to you somewhat confused in the telling?
39544Was n''t it 3:48 when Dr. Whipple visited you on that Saturday of the fire?
39544Was n''t it probably the front door?
39544Was n''t it proved in the probate proceedings that you were only to carry out certain minor legacies?
39544Was n''t it the arrest of Dr. Hyndman in London?
39544Was n''t it you instead of Floyd who paid a cash fare to Conductor Checkerberry on the 3:29 train and whose voice he recognized here yesterday?
39544Was n''t it your mother who first informed Mr. McCausland that Robert had been disinherited?
39544Was she there by appointment with you?
39544Was that all you did?--to sit down?
39544Was there another fire before?
39544Was there any further conversation on the subject?
39544Was there any other living thing in the room at this time?
39544Was there no mention of the fire there-- a fire which was destroying your home?
39544Was this peddler here lately?
39544Well, Harry,cried the first of the three bloods, extending a hand,"what''s the tempo of your song this morning?"
39544Well, action or inaction?
39544Well, haow are the oats lookin''?
39544Well, how is the gentleman?
39544Well, proper or improper, what was the upshot of your conversation?
39544Well, sir, when Mr. Robert unlocked the door----"Which door?
39544Well, that was clever, was n''t it?
39544Well, the truth is, Dobbs--"Wot is the truth?
39544Well, w''y wo n''t Bobbs trust Dobbs? 39544 Well, what are you sniggling at?"
39544Well, what do you mean by sure?
39544Well, what have you collected against him?
39544Well- known men are seen there at times?
39544Well----"And volunteered to testify against your cousin?
39544Well?
39544Well?
39544Well?
39544Well?
39544Were any other boats out?
39544Were you able to inform him? 39544 Were you alone?"
39544Were you here,asked Shagarach,"when Prof. Borrowscales read out the number which was jotted down upon a sheet of paper in Floyd''s desk?"
39544Wha-- can it be ye never heard tell o''bonnie Scotland?
39544What about Katie Galuby, mamma?
39544What actress, you booby? 39544 What ails you, Sire?

39544What are your plans ahead, Dobbs?
39544What boat did she take?
39544What can we do for each other?
39544What crime are you charged with?
39544What crime had you committed, Mr. McCausland, that the state should isolate you in one of its prison cells?
39544What did he especially desire to know about bombs?
39544What did they say when you told them of his grumbling at you?
39544What did you do?

39544What do you know of this case?
39544What do you mean by quarreling?
39544What do you say as to the identity of the handwritings, professor?

39544What do you suppose Aronson has to do with it?
39544What do you think that young rascal did?

39544What does he mean by that?
39544What does this little ragamuffin say?
39544What else?
39544What fire?
39544What have I done to be questioned as if I were a cut- throat? 39544 What have I done?
39544What in the world is he smiling for?
39544What is he grumbling for? 39544 What is his business?"
39544What is it all about?
39544What is it, Robert?
39544What is it, Walter?
39544What is it, a man or a place? 39544 What is it?"

39544What, if you recollect, was the number of the safe-- an old- fashioned article, I presume?

39544Will you state to the best of your knowledge the portion of the burning buildings from which the explosions came?
39544Will you state to the jury the earning capacity of this young man at the time of his uncle''s death?
39544Will you take in my card? 39544 Will you take these spectacles, Miss Lund?"
39544Will you turn out the contents of your upper right vest pocket?
39544With what result?
39544With what result?
39544Without food until you returned at 11 o''clock to the fire?
39544Wo n''t drink and wo n''t give me no mark of''is confidence--"What is it you want, Dobbs? 39544 Wo n''t you tell the court how you were occupied prior to your discovery of the fire?"
39544Wo n''t your horse run away?
39544Wot noise, chummy?
39544Wot''ll stop a leak in a gas- pipe? 39544 Wot''s that?"
39544Would he notice such an A B C riddle?
39544Would n''t he stand a better chance of getting off?
39544Would the will be upheld?
39544Would you call him senile or venerable?
39544Would you hang a kitten on the evidence of a burned match, inspector?
39544Would you have them set me down a boaster?
39544Would you know him again?
39544Would you say that in this class of rare exceptions the absence of tears was always due to callousness in the mourners?
39544Yes, when did you introduce Mr. Aronson and Miss Lamb?
39544Yes?
39544Yet he walked in openly to your office?
39544Yet your general conviction remains unchanged?
39544You admit, then, that you offered Riley$ 10 for the bicycle which he had ridden?
39544You also confiscated the desk which Floyd had occupied at the Beacon office?
39544You always discriminated against such people?
39544You are a conductor on the Southern railroad?
39544You are a journalist, I believe?
39544You are a member of the firm of Hardwood& Lockwell?
39544You are a member of the salvation army, Miss Lamb?
39544You are a money- lender? 39544 You are a professor of penmanship?"
39544You are acquainted with a young man named Saul Aronson?
39544You are better now?
39544You are dying, then?
39544You are rather accurate in your observations of time?
39544You are sure Ellen had gone out?
39544You are sure you can do errands and not make a mistake?
39544You are treasurer of the Beacon company, are you not?
39544You ask mamma which she likes best, Bessie or me?
39544You b''long in Foxtaown, I s''pose?
39544You began as a pickpocket?
39544You believe so?
39544You ca n''t read?
39544You call yourself a gunniff?
39544You can''ear it?
39544You could not testify as to the contents of the will?
39544You did n''t inquire into the matter much?
39544You did n''t know him?
39544You did n''t stop to liberate the dog?
39544You did n''t think it your duty to save property and life by checking the flames or at least giving the alarm?
39544You did n''t''urt yourself?
39544You did see Mr. Floyd leave the house? 39544 You do n''t believe Robert set the fire?"
39544You do n''t care for''The Headless Horseman''?
39544You do not answer, Miss Lamb?
39544You do not know the peddler?
39544You do not recognize the handwriting?
39544You entered into a minute discussion, then, with Floyd on the subject of bomb- making?
39544You expect, then, to have him soon?
39544You feel positive?
39544You had charge of the fire forces in the early part of the Arnold fire, did you not?
39544You had no opportunity,asked Shagarach,"after the fire to search Floyd''s room at his uncle''s house?"
39544You had pulled up the study curtains so as to let in the sunlight, I believe?
39544You have a key to your own house, I suppose?
39544You have a summer residence at Hillsborough?
39544You have frequently to do that, I presume?
39544You have heard Mr. Henderson''s testimony?
39544You have no means of knowing, however, whether or not that number was a memorandum of the date in the life of Bakunin, the anarchistic writer?
39544You have no orderly programme arranged for every day?
39544You have not seen the convert since?
39544You have preserved those garments?
39544You heard the door slam? 39544 You heard the explosion?"
39544You heard what the domestic said?
39544You knew Floyd was disinherited before your visit to his cell?
39544You knew a will had been made?
39544You knew you yourself were disinherited before the fire?
39544You knew, however, that there was a side door opening into the passageway?
39544You knew, however?
39544You know Harry Arnold?
39544You know Mr. Aronson, the last witness but one?
39544You know Robert Floyd is in the prison here?
39544You know the accused?
39544You know, from your own experience in dresses, that dark colors absorb more heat than light ones?
39544You lost the trail?
39544You mean Ellen Greeley?
39544You mean that young Floyd planned to burn up the will which left him a pauper, so that he might obtain his interest as heir- at- law?
39544You might have entered and taken the will away without his knowledge, then?
39544You never heard the others complaining, however?
39544You never saw a peddler in a green cart that used to call at your house in Woodlawn during the month of June?
39544You never saw him after the fire-- as a peddler, I mean?
39544You object, then, to the issuance of administration papers to Mr. Harry Arnold?
39544You occupied a cell adjoining that of the prisoner in the state prison at one time?
39544You officiated at Prof. Arnold''s funeral service, I believe?
39544You possess the power?
39544You regarded it as in a way the foundation stone of your business prosperity?
39544You remember distinctly?
39544You remember the horse- race in''Anna Karenina?''
39544You remember the peddler in the green cart, alluded to in Ellen Greeley''s letter, who carried messages to some person unknown?
39544You removed it or had it removed from the ruins of the Arnold house after the fire?
39544You represented a client desirous of breaking the will at the probate proceedings, did you not?
39544You saw Mr. Floyd coming out, then? 39544 You saw him, then?"
39544You see a great many hundred faces in the course of a week?
39544You see the improvement in our cause at once?
39544You sold Floyd three feet of this fuse?
39544You take it for granted, then, that all anarchists are bomb- throwers?
39544You think we''ll have trouble, then?
39544You told Harry Arnold of your intention to call at his uncle''s on the following day and open the safe?
39544You told her the hour?
39544You took his bet, I noticed?
39544You took the Southern line?
39544You went there directly?
39544You were about to say that you inquired of Mrs. Rabofsky where her husband obtained the pipe, were you not?
39544You were in at the time of the fire, on Saturday?
39544You were not in town, then, that afternoon?
39544You were shot, my son?
39544You were there to win the confidence of the accused and extort a confession of guilt from him if possible?
39544You will give me your mother''s address? 39544 You will leave this with me?"
39544You will not venture to the meeting- place at that hour?
39544You wish for a servant?
39544You work opposite the Arnold house, Miss Wesner?
39544You would not be willing----"Yes, sir, I mean-- that is-- how do I know?
39544You would scarcely judge the sincerity of a mourner''s sorrow by the copiousness of flow from his lachrymal glands?
39544You''re not on the old beat now?
39544You''ve sawed them through?
39544Young Floyd?
39544Your cousin Harry came here to verify his knowledge of the will, which disinherited him, did he not?
39544Your glove in your left hand?
39544Your mother and yourself share most items of family interest between you?
39544Your mother, then, was your father''s sole heir?
39544Your occupation and experience give you exceptional training in the study of faces, do they not?
39544Your property?
39544Your relations have always been pleasant, I presume?
39544Your room is tolerably near the top of the house, however?
39544Your wife?
39544Zhall I''old the lamp, Bobbs?
39544''Asn''t Dobbs trusted Bobbs?"
39544''Ave a glass, Bobbs?"
39544''Aven''t Hi trusted a hutter stranger with my rat''s tooth and gone''alvesies with''i m, doublin''the risk and not doublin''the enjoyment?"
39544''Aven''t you learned that, Bobbs, halready?
39544''Have you nothing more?''
39544''Is that you, Ellen?''
39544''Ow is Dobbs to know Bobbs is true blue?"
39544''Twa''nt no need to tell you, was it?"
39544*****"He does n''t always wear a glove canoeing?"
39544A confession?"
39544A dread of perfume and loveliness that made him leave the room at once with brief directions to Aronson?
39544A person starting from Prof. Arnold''s house at 3:28 could have caught that train, could he not?"
39544A stranger?"
39544About how old?"
39544Afore a tender little juicy porker, asprawlin''of your legs under the table and a- facin''a hail jolly Johnnie, w''ich is me?
39544After a spell of silence she addressed him again in a gentler tone:"What is your name, little boy?"
39544Ai n''t it in the dic?
39544Am I refused permission to pass the ropes?"
39544And Mr. Aronson, I understand you to testify, yielded to this temptation before he was converted?"
39544And Shagarach-- the iron will, the giant mind-- what is his destiny?
39544And all for what?
39544And how much did it fetch him?
39544And how was that to be converted into the covering of a bomb?"
39544And if so?
39544And spoke with an accent?"
39544And this Mr. Aronson who visited you declared that he had been a locksmith, if I understood your story?"
39544And what was the cause of your disagreement?"
39544And where may your diversions lie?"
39544And whose were those two strange faces thrust darkly over the golden disk?
39544And will you state what you may have found in the pockets of Floyd''s coat?"
39544And would people believe Robert in so novel, so miraculous, a junction of circumstances as her theory demanded?
39544Are n''t they beauties, though?
39544Are they all in bed?"
39544Are they charged with opposite magnetisms from northern and southern poles, that they attract each other so, the dark type and the fair?
39544Are they genuine?"
39544Are we mis- mated?
39544Are ye weary, sinners, weary of the way ye tread?
39544Are you Mr. Shagarach''s clerk?"
39544Are you crazy?"
39544Are you ignorant that four in seven of all who enter those institutions return to them sooner or later?
39544Are you trying to blackmail us for a heavier fee?"
39544Arnold''s?"
39544Arnold''s?"
39544Arnold''s?"
39544Arnold?"
39544Arnold?"
39544Arnold?"
39544Arnold?"
39544Arnold?"
39544Arnold?"
39544Arnold?"
39544Arnold?"
39544Arnold?"
39544As an interpreter of the scriptures, you have met that text, Simon Rabofsky?"
39544At what hour did you see Floyd coming out of his house on the afternoon of the fire?"
39544At what time would you fix the explosion in the study?"
39544Been down to the pasture?"
39544Benzine?
39544Besides, what good could I do?"
39544But I do n''t mind if I was only sure Ellen----""Are you really anxious about Ellen?
39544But are n''t you a brave girl to be tramping the streets for your sweetheart?
39544But do people like him?"
39544But do you know what puzzled me?
39544But he shook off the momentary confusion, and, scarcely looking at the witness, exclaimed:"Am I the man you saw?"
39544But of whom?
39544But that afternoon I was expecting a visit from him----""Who is this executor?"
39544But the mystery is, how did it start?
39544But the place-- what was the name of the place?"
39544But there''s one thing you lack?"
39544But what made him smile?
39544But whither?
39544But who and what was the assailant, the leering oaf he had passed on the pier?
39544But you do n''t suppose he was fern- gathering down in that swamp, do you?"
39544But you might be acquainted with somebody who could, might you not?"
39544But you received the previous letters referred to in this case, did you not?
39544But-- do you know the convert''s name?
39544Buy a mission paper, missus?"
39544Can you come?"
39544Can you conceive anything more absurd?
39544Can you give me any article belonging to the man?
39544Can you superintend the job?
39544Celluloid?
39544Chandler?"
39544Chandler?"
39544Checkerberry?"
39544Cotton waste taking fire spontaneously?
39544Could you call at my office in the morning, 31 Putnam street?
39544Could you find out if she is living with the Arnolds?"
39544Could you furnish us paper?"
39544Could you manage to call at the prison to- day?
39544Courting?
39544Davidson?"
39544Did Floyd go out the back door?"
39544Did I not see her selling jewels to a Christian on the seventh day of this very week?"
39544Did he actually return and purchase them?"
39544Did it perch on Floyd''s finger?"
39544Did n''t Floyd say he sympathized with Dr. Hyndman as opposed to the bomb- throwing anarchists?"
39544Did n''t Hi do''i m brown, Bobbs( hic)?"
39544Did the old gentleman forget me?"
39544Did you ever have any private conference with this convert?"
39544Did you ever meet such stones-- perfect bulbs?"
39544Did you ever meet the name before, fellows?"
39544Did you ever see such goodness?"
39544Did you examine the piece of fuse which Mr. McCausland found in the desk occupied by Floyd at the Beacon office?"
39544Did you make any effort to uphold the will of which you claim to have been nominated executor?"
39544Did you or did you not observe anything new or unusual in the room when you were engaged in dusting the chairs?"
39544Did you see his alto- relievo of a Druid''s head in the Art club?
39544Did you wish to see him?"
39544Do n''t mind being called sweethearts, I hope?
39544Do n''t you know me?"
39544Do they know yet?"
39544Do we work at cross- purposes?
39544Do you fawncy Barney Pease could''ave got you over that sky- scrapin''wall?
39544Do you know?
39544Do you remember whether the Saturday of the fire was as warm?"
39544Do you rest from your money- getting on the Sabbath?
39544Do you think this is a procession?
39544Do you think you can jew me into a dicker?"
39544Do you''ear the tooth?"
39544Do you''ear?"
39544Does he return soon?"
39544Does it fatigue you?"
39544Ducky, do n''t ee like ee c''adle?"
39544Engaged?
39544Fashionable embezzlement?
39544Floyd?"
39544Floyd?"
39544For when do such sing, except in derision of song, with grating irony that is ashamed of the feelings to which true song gives expression?
39544Fowler?"
39544Fowler?"
39544Fowler?"
39544Gee, did n''t he come down flopping?"
39544Guess what that is?"
39544Had Shagarach become a convert to the belief in Robert''s guilt?
39544Had he any enemies?"
39544Had he purchased a ticket?"
39544Had it belonged to Harry Arnold?
39544Had man and dog reached the other side in safety, there to continue their terrible race?
39544Had she seen him after all that afternoon when he crossed Bond street from the burning house?
39544Had she, indeed, escaped some unknown danger?
39544Had they fought their death struggle in the water, and one or both of them sunk to his doom?
39544Had this been the object of Shagarach''s contemplation?
39544Hain''t it daintily perfumed?"
39544Hare you making your toilet?"
39544Harry?
39544Has any one seen it except you?"
39544Have you a photograph of the accused with you?"
39544Have you felt your heart jump when a pistol- shot smites the silence?
39544Have you made a study of this subject?"
39544Have you observed the plausibility in the inventions of toddling babes to escape imminent chastisement?
39544Have you watched a band of girls playing at the imitation of school?
39544Hey, Johnnie?"
39544Hey?
39544Hey?"
39544Hi need a pal, Bobbs-- upon which you may remark w''ere is the shillin''comin''from wot''s payin''this piper?
39544Hi suppose you''ll put me in your prayers now, hey?
39544Hi?
39544Hodgkins?"
39544How can I repay you?"
39544How could I ever have forgotten?"
39544How did he hope to surmount such a barrier?
39544How did it all happen?"
39544How did it happen?"
39544How far are you baound?"
39544How far is that?"
39544How have I blundered?"
39544How long after you arrived?"
39544How sympathetic she seemed and was it not gracious of her to inquire about his father and mother?
39544How to fight it off?
39544Hyndman?"
39544I have engaged the assistance of-- whom do you think?"
39544I hereby accuse Robert Floyd of the murder of my clients----""Who are your clients?"
39544I know I never----""Had you seen him before that?"
39544I really envy Parrhasius his enjoyment in flaying the old slave-- or did he flog him?
39544I remember the fact because he had no ticket and had to pay his fare----""To what point?"
39544I s''pose things are putty brisk in taown these days?"
39544I suppose you give all you earn to your mother?"
39544I thought she went out?"
39544I went in and said,''Shall I dust the room, Mr. Robert?
39544I''d noticed Bertha raising the curtains-- two Washington pies?
39544If her story is to be believed, and she never turned a hair under cross- questioning, you''ll allow?"
39544If so, how did it happen to lie on the stairs of his uncle''s house immediately after the fire?
39544If we should send an officer down to your shop would he find the woman''s name in your book?"
39544In art, do I say?
39544In religion itself?
39544Is Bonnie his first name?"
39544Is Ellen in?''
39544Is Floyd in jail?"
39544Is he a ring- leader among the men?"
39544Is it a wulgar word?"
39544Is n''t this Gothic?
39544Is pickpocket the bloomin''Americanese for that?
39544Is that another lie?"
39544Is there in all the world a sight more wholesome and comforting to the tired wayfarer than a loaded hay- cart?
39544Is your''evidence''against Harry no more valuable?"
39544It has a story?"
39544It is the Most organ, in short?"
39544It just caught----"But why importune readers with Emily''s theory, when they have doubtless already guessed it in detail?
39544It was clumsily done, was n''t it?
39544It''s harson, eh?"
39544Koerber?
39544Lucky I took it now, wan''t it?
39544March''s?"
39544Married?
39544McCausland?"
39544McCausland?"
39544McCausland?"
39544Merchant''s window?"
39544Mr. Henderson, will you kindly testify as to the result of your search?"
39544Mr. Shagarach will not be back immediately, you say?"
39544My advice----""You will not charge your respected father''s friend unreasonably?"
39544Naphtha varnish?
39544Never smoked or drank or----""You did n''t see any other person coming out of the house?"
39544No possible connection there?"
39544No suspicious character was seen loitering about or leaving the house on Saturday?"
39544Nobody''d look for a little rat''s tooth laid crossways in a little plug o''smoke, with the''andle alongside of it, would they, Bobbs?"
39544Not"What will Simon Rabofsky say?"
39544Of Emily Barlow what more can be said?
39544Of what service could he be to the prosecution?
39544Of what value is that?
39544Or do you think to scatter seeds inside a jail and reap some other crop than crime?
39544Or snoozin''in a ten- foot kennel, with sweet dreams o''the swingin''gallows?"
39544Or was he jealous of the count''s attention to the Violet?
39544Or was it a ballad repeated by rote?
39544Or was it conscience that made cowards of them all?
39544Or was she the victim of a girl''s foolish illusion?
39544Or were they leaping forward to the joy of the cool bed under the churchyard daisies at Ellen''s side?
39544Perdition gripe that marble heart----""Will you kindly make your statements relevant?"
39544Perhaps, being a student of character, you have observed as much from my appearance?"
39544Postscript?"
39544Robert?"
39544Shagarach?"
39544Shagarach?"
39544Shagarach?"
39544Shagarach?"
39544Shall I be so fortunate as to have the privilege of an introduction?"
39544Shall you testify to- day?"
39544Should he advise the loan and let Harry cast it away, as he seemed likely to do, in his ambition to"break the bank?"
39544Should he show him the door?
39544Should she run?
39544Should she turn back and give the alarm?
39544Speaking as low as possible, so that the others might not hear, he said to Dobbs:"You are an Englishman?
39544Step aboard?
39544Take a smell, Paganini?"
39544That he was storing it in Lonergan''s kitchen until the occasion should arise when it might be returned to its owner?"
39544That would raise it from the floor several inches, would it not?"
39544That, however, he did not make clear to you?"
39544The briers scratched her dress, the boughs brushed in her face, but what were these to the monster behind them?
39544The front door, I suppose?
39544The great problem of life then is solved for you by the drawing of a quarterly check?"
39544The old lady had heard the sound and blanched a little, but her voice was firm when she spoke:"Is that a mouse in the wainscoting, my son?"
39544Then at the time of the visit to your house in July he must have been a convert nearly two months?"
39544There is only one door?"
39544This conclusion seemed to be the refrain of a hymn which the circle took up:"What will Peter say, Christian soul, When the last great trumpet sounds?"
39544Thornton?"
39544Thornton?"
39544To be always a criminal lawyer, a consorter with publicans and sinners?
39544W''ere''d you be this minute if it was n''t for me?
39544W''ot say to the Hargentine Republic, w''ere you can sue for your uncle''s money by proxy, hey?"
39544Was Mrs. Arnold involved in her son''s guilt?
39544Was it a horror of music that made him shut out these sounds so often?
39544Was it a man?"
39544Was it a voice from the darkness?
39544Was it because nobody took any particular notice of the group?
39544Was it indeed returning?
39544Was it long before the fire broke out?"
39544Was it not rather a recitative improvised as the impulse came, both words and music?
39544Was it some agent of the Arnolds?
39544Was it that in the reserved Spaniard he had encountered a force which he could not overbear?
39544Was it the glow of convalescence or of wine that shone in Harry''s face?
39544Was the pervert going into Nathan Silberstein''s house?
39544Was there no way to attain it?
39544Was this a subterfuge?
39544Was this irony or praise?
39544Was this only the natural awe which slum children feel in the presence of the police?
39544Was this the man whom Dobbs had"greased?"
39544Were they bare or did he wear gloves?"
39544What Mrs. Arnold?
39544What about Woodlawn?"
39544What atom of evidence has been adduced to show that the testator remembered Harry Arnold?"
39544What could Harry do but surrender his faculties and be absorbed like the rest?
39544What did he know of their teachings?
39544What did he look like?
39544What did you wish to tell me?"
39544What do you think of it all?"
39544What do you think?"
39544What does a man know in dhrink?
39544What factor is wanting?"
39544What for?"
39544What had Aronson told her in his agitation during that confidential interview?
39544What have I done to be jailed here like some wild beast, before whom life would not be safe if he were let at large?"
39544What have I done?"
39544What have you learned since yesterday?"
39544What if Simon Rabofsky scowled at his raising his hand?
39544What is it?"
39544What is oaf?"
39544What more natural than that she should spend her afternoon off with Hans Heidermann at the picnic park in Woodlawn?
39544What place is this, anyway?"
39544What was I to be mixin''in their riots for?
39544What was he doing?
39544What was he stooping over the hearth for and picking up those pieces of paper?"
39544What was known of this rare man''s history?
39544What was she kissing them for-- and crying?
39544What was that?"
39544What was the date of your interview?"
39544What was the monster doing?
39544What will Peter say, Christian soul?"
39544What will Peter say, John?
39544What will Peter say, Joseph?
39544What would happen if the two were pitted against each other?
39544What would three little boys travel out to the country like that for, and ride away on three bicycles and then sell them to Bagley?"
39544What''s Scotland?"
39544What''s that?"
39544What''s that?"
39544What''s the matter with Sleepy Hollow?
39544What, another?"
39544Whaur''s the jest?"
39544When he finally fell to the rear the rosebud mouth was still singing:"What will Peter say, Christian soul?"
39544Where are you?"
39544Where did Ellen bid you carry the letter?"
39544Where did you find this?"
39544Where have you been all the time?"
39544Where''s Indigo?"
39544Which is it?"
39544Which of these two men spoke to you?"
39544Which way does Hillsborough lie?"
39544Who asked you to come?"
39544Who benefited by its destruction?
39544Who could ever forget it?"
39544Who could tell?
39544Who else could it be?
39544Who knows?
39544Who should be coming out of the bakeshop but chubby Richard in person?
39544Who was he to dispute the great doctors, like Moses ben Maimon?
39544Who was the stranger?
39544Why be so funereal?
39544Why did the image of the safe in which it was guarded haunt you?"
39544Why had he ever taken them out?
39544Why in the deuce does n''t he work?"
39544Why, do you fancy they''re stolen?"
39544Why----""Where did it appear to come from?"
39544Will he welcome me as a true child or will he spurn me to the outer darkness?
39544Will you bury me beside Ellen I disgraced so, misther?
39544Will you bury me, misther?"
39544Will you kindly leave the stand and adjust them on this desk near the window exactly as the professor''s spectacles lay on his desk that afternoon?"
39544Will you look over the steerage list of the European steamers for a fortnight back and ahead?
39544Will you not come inside?"
39544Will you send the Swedish girl to my office again to- morrow?"
39544With reference, I mean, to your own movements and the movements of others in the house?"
39544Wo n''t you be seated while you wait for him?"
39544Wot does that mean?
39544Wot fence?
39544Wot use''ave Hi for it w''en Hi carry my hown himage on the hend of my bloomin''thumb?"
39544Wot''ll''ide a slice in a sawed bar?
39544Wot''s Jim Budge?
39544Wot''s more natural, with a blank check before''i m, than for the confidential clark to facsimilate''is marster''s hautograph?
39544Wot''s thankful?
39544Wot''s the hodds?
39544Wot''s your line, chummy?
39544Wot''s your name, stranger?"
39544Would n''t you like to go to work?"
39544Would this remorseless inquisitor contradict his denial with the affirmation of the woman he loved?
39544Would you like to try this round?
39544Would you not say that he seemed to regard himself as its custodian rather than its proprietor?
39544Yes, Gertrude, and how''s your mamma?
39544Yes, indeed, I----""How long had he been vending his goods through Cazenove street?"
39544You are convinced of Bertha''s candor?"
39544You are near- sighted?"
39544You are probably not aware that Prof. Arnold read in his own library every Sunday evening up to the time of his death?"
39544You are still wearing it?"
39544You ask it, but you will not follow it?"
39544You could n''t reach it from the sidewalk?"
39544You have had your hair cut lately?"
39544You have n''t found a lodging yet yourself for the night?"
39544You have not found me overcredulous, as a rule?"
39544You have questioned him on his movements?"
39544You know the hemlock forest back of the blue hills in Woodlawn-- marshy place thereabouts, lots of clay in the soil-- some of it on those boots, eh?
39544You know the random way he runs about when he''s lost the scent?
39544You never followed the first fire up?"
39544You received the letter stating that''Harry gets his deserts,''meaning obviously that he gets nothing, did you not?"
39544You remember his satire on''The Religious Significance of Umbrellas in China?''
39544You remember my speaking of the birch tree, Rob?"
39544You suspect Harry, then, of the crime?"
39544You testified before that you never corresponded with Ellen Greeley?"
39544You think that crude?"
39544You think, you thought at the time, it was Ellen leaving the house?"
39544You will tell him all you know if he comes to see you?"
39544You would n''t s''pose there was a clean ton o''hay on this wagon, would you?"
39544You''re a professional burglar?"
39544Your client is safe?"
39544Your uncle had made a will, I believe?"
39544Your valet, I suppose?"
39544but"What will Peter say, Aronson?"
39544he asked as he drew on his garments, and when he sat down to copy a brief for Shagarach,"What will Peter say, Aronson?"
9872A wounded man, sir?
9872A young lady?
9872Adèle,I said,"do n''t you know me?"
9872After all, it is such a small world, is n''t it?
9872Age?
9872American,I repeated vaguely,"are you sure?"
9872And Lord Polloch?
9872And Prince Victor?
9872And he was killed?
9872And see more cricket?
9872And that?
9872And the reception of the Prince of Normandy by the Emperor?
9872And the rifle union?
9872And we shall expect you at Lenox?
9872And what is to become of me?
9872And why,she asked,"are you dressed like a somewhat seedy- looking foreigner?"
9872And you have made no arrangements out West?
9872And you know what that leads to?
9872And you mean to say that you are a prisoner there all that time-- that you could not leave if you chose to?
9872And you? 9872 Another situation?"
9872Any connection with the stage?
9872Any news in town?
9872Any news, Perkins?
9872Any relatives here?
9872Are you going to keep on the eighteen- penny dinner?
9872Are you hysterical?
9872Are you inclined to believe in me-- to believe what I say?
9872Are you interested in cricket, Miss Van Hoyt?
9872Are you off back to Medchestershire to- night?
9872Are you strong enough, Adèle,I asked,"for another shock?"
9872Are you superstitious?
9872Are you the new proprietor?
9872At the Waldorf,he said,"your room, I understand, is 584?
9872At what time would you like to be called, sir?
9872Back to Europe?
9872Born?
9872Business good, eh?
9872But am I the man, do you think, for a task like this?
9872But how could you in Berlin, alone, hope to accomplish this?
9872But how did he get into the room upstairs?
9872But how did you come?
9872But how? 9872 But if it had not been for her--""Well?"
9872But what am I to do?
9872But where is he?
9872But why?
9872But will you not be running the same risk?
9872But wo n''t that rather give us away?
9872But,he said,"supposing some one should step in before your friend?
9872But-- who is he then?
9872By all means,I answered;"you mean a specialist, I suppose?"
9872By the bye,I remarked,"I ought to be having a little private conversation with your father this time, ought n''t I?"
9872Ca n''t you leave my room alone?
9872Can I find your chair for you?
9872Can you also guarantee,Mr. de Valentin asked me,"that he is simply what he professes to be-- a valet, and not, for instance, a spy?"
9872Can you manage that for me? 9872 Can you tell me if Miss Van Hoyt has left the hotel?"
9872Can you walk as far?
9872Certainly, sir, what name?
9872Come from?
9872Come,I said brusquely,"you must-- why you are the nurse whom Dr. Rust sent, are n''t you?"
9872Could I see her?
9872Could you play cricket now-- or shoot partridges?
9872Dare I ask you to honor us by lunching with my cousin and myself here, Miss Van Hoyt?
9872Did she offer any explanations as to her presence?
9872Did you allow it?
9872Did you ever hear of a warship called the_ Maine_?
9872Did you leave it like that?
9872Did you see them in the corridor?
9872Do I count for nothing?
9872Do I look like a duke?
9872Do n''t you know me, Gilbert?
9872Do you know that you are staring at me?
9872Do you know who they are, Herr Paul, those people who have just come in?
9872Do you know why,she whispered,"he is so sure that he is going to die?"
9872Do you mean that she is not coming back?
9872Do you mean that?
9872Do you mean to tell me,I said,"that, after last night, you have dared to remain in the hotel-- that you have a room here?"
9872Do you mind sitting up a little later than usual tonight?
9872Do you mind walking on the lower deck?
9872Do you propose,I asked,"to have your meals in the servants''saloon?"
9872Do you remember what happened to her? 9872 Do you see this man coming up to the house?"
9872Do you suppose,he said in a low tone,"that Staunton or any of us are meant to leave this place alive?
9872Do you suppose,she asked quietly,"that you will be allowed to do that?"
9872Do you think it possible?
9872Do you think you can stand the journey?
9872Do you think,he asked,"that you were followed here?"
9872Do you want her to find you here, to know that you are alive?
9872Do you wish to be relieved of Leslie Guest? 9872 Does any one know on this side?"
9872Does he know what you propose?
9872Dying?
9872Exactly on what terms do you stand at present?
9872For what?
9872From your husband?
9872Gave''em a licking, I hope?
9872Gilbert, can you see the Prime Minister this morning?
9872Gilbert,I whispered,"who was that?"
9872Hardross,she said softly,"what is the matter with him?"
9872Has he communicated with you since?
9872Has he said anything?
9872Has this person been here all the time? 9872 Has your uncle been in the business before?"
9872Have you any secrets behind that curtain, Sir Gilbert?
9872Have you been quarrelling?
9872Have you been to the theatre?
9872Have you ever thought of Parliament, Hardross?
9872Have you let them go by?
9872Have you no friends I could send for?
9872Have you realized what all this means?
9872Have you seen a doctor lately, Hardross?
9872Have you seen the papers this morning?
9872Have you served?
9872He has been poisoned, I suppose?
9872He is blind enough to believe that?
9872He told you?
9872He was conscious-- at the end?
9872He will not stop the fleet going to Kiel?
9872Heard anything about your new proprietor?
9872Herr Paul,she said, raising her black eyes to mine,"have you ever looked about you for a way to make money more quickly?"
9872How about the massing of troops on the French frontier?
9872How are politics?
9872How are you feeling this evening?
9872How are you, Courage?
9872How came he to obtain possession of it?
9872How is he?
9872How long have you been there?
9872How many are there in the next room?
9872How on earth,he exclaimed,"could the papers have made such a mistake?"
9872I do n''t suppose you knew that?
9872I suppose,he remarked,"you know the risk you have been running?"
9872I suppose,he said at last, looking from his extinct cigar into my face,"that I am not by any chance dreaming?
9872I suppose,she said,"that an invitation to Lenox_ was_ necessary to your plans, was n''t it?"
9872I think, Herr Paul,she said,"that if it had not been for the little girl in Frankfort, we might have arranged this-- eh?"
9872I think,he remarked,"that that is a mistake, is n''t it?
9872I will be brave,she answered with quivering lips;"but what did it mean-- at Saxby then?
9872I wonder,I said,"whether you would mind telling me what you know of Miss Van Hoyt?"
9872I''d like to know,she said,"are we to choose our own titles?
9872If I knew it, should I be likely to tell it to you? 9872 If I stand by you, will you obey me?"
9872If you are not going to America for sport,my cousin asked,"what are you going for?"
9872If you were my friend,I repeated--"well?"
9872In what way?
9872In what way?
9872Is Mr. James Stanley, of Liverpool, in?
9872Is he a very old friend?
9872Is he likely to die?
9872Is her Ladyship in, Murray?
9872Is his wife here?
9872Is it permitted, though, to ask a question?
9872Is it permitted,he asked in German,"that I seat myself at your table?
9872Is it really possible that you did not know?
9872Is it true,she asked,"that this restaurant has changed hands?"
9872Is it?
9872Is n''t it sufficient?
9872Is she in now?
9872Is there any news?
9872Is this a warning?
9872Is this in confidence, Mr. Van Reinberg?
9872Is this your favorite restaurant?
9872Is this your first visit to America?
9872Is your mistress staying here?
9872Is-- Leslie-- also a-- what did you say you were?--a waiter?
9872It has not occurred to you, I suppose,I remarked,"that he might be suffering from poisoning?"
9872It is you, is n''t it? 9872 It is your uncle, the new proprietor, is it not?"
9872It was you, then,I remarked,"who had him sent down to my place?"
9872Jim,he said,"has there been anything between you and Miss Van Hoyt?"
9872Jim,he said,"have you seen Miss Van Hoyt?"
9872Jim,she murmured,"how did you do it?
9872Jim,she said,"do you love me very much?"
9872Karl,he said,"do you wish to stay here as head- waiter?"
9872Like what?
9872Listen, where do you sleep?
9872Look here,I said to him,"ca n''t you give me some explanation as to what all this means?
9872Lord Esherville is your cousin, is he not?
9872Made money at it?
9872May I ask to what I am indebted for the pleasure of this unexpected visit?
9872May I ask upon what grounds?
9872May I come and lunch?
9872May I guess at the attraction?
9872May I inquire,I asked politely,"in what respect you find my presence there undesirable?
9872May I inquire,he asked, after we had exchanged a few commonplaces,"if you are aware that Mr. Leslie Guest was an assumed name of the deceased?"
9872May I know what they are?
9872May I talk to you for a few minutes, Miss Van Hoyt?
9872Miss Van Hoyt''s?
9872Miss Van Hoyt,he said,"will you allow me to introduce my cousin, Mr. Hardross Courage?"
9872Miss Van Hoyt?
9872Mr. Leslie Guest''s then?
9872My dear Madame, do you consider that invitation of yours a prudent one? 9872 Nor shall I ever,"she answered,"unless--""Unless what?"
9872Not yet,she answered,"but I am forced to do so, unless--""Unless what?"
9872Now will you go?
9872Number 317, was it not?
9872On parole?
9872On the heart?
9872On the whole, then,Mr. Van Reinberg asked anxiously,"you would not back his chances?"
9872On trust?
9872On what charge?
9872One of the court?
9872Only how on earth did you get here?
9872Paul Schmidt, is it not?
9872Quiet afternoon here?
9872Repented of what?
9872Same old war scare, I suppose?
9872Say,she inquired,"what do these titles amount to anyway?
9872Shall I see you later?
9872Since when have you discovered this?
9872So,she murmured,"you have in Frankfort a little girl?"
9872Success is something after all, is n''t it?
9872Tell me,my cousin asked,"what is-- the Great Plot?"
9872That,she admitted,"is fairly obvious; what of it?"
9872The love of your fatherland is still in your heart?
9872The man whom you protected last night-- whose life you probably saved-- on your honor, was he a stranger to you?
9872The name of the restaurant?
9872Then all three things happening together are merely coincidences?
9872Then can I-- or Lady Dennisford here,I asked,"be your ambassador?
9872Then how shall I let you know?
9872Then why go amongst them?
9872Then why not take him away?
9872Then why,she asked,"has Adèle gone away at a moment''s notice?"
9872Then will you tell me,he asked,"why, with the shooting just on, and the hunting in full view, you are talking of going to America?"
9872There is no definite cause for alarm, is there?
9872There was no-- disagreement between you?
9872They sent to you?
9872They will go?
9872This is all?
9872Twenty- four hours ago who would have dared to predict a riot like this, in London of all places? 9872 Under?"
9872Very well,I answered,"You see the time?"
9872We will talk with pleasure,the newcomer answered,"but why here?
9872Well, Stern?
9872Well, did he invent a new disease for me?
9872Well,I asked,"what do you think of him?"
9872Well,he said, after a short silence,"where do I come in?"
9872Well,she asked,"have you found the place yet, where you will make so much money that you can send for the beloved Elsie?"
9872Well,she said softly,"now that I am here, what have you to say to me?"
9872Well,she said, with her black eyes fixed steadily upon mine,"you are of the same mind, eh?"
9872Well?
9872Well?
9872Well?
9872Well?
9872Well?
9872Well?
9872Well?
9872Well?
9872Well?
9872Well?
9872Well?
9872Were you with him?
9872What am I to think of such a declaration as that?
9872What can one do?
9872What can we do, Lady Dennisford?
9872What did Mr. Hirsch want?
9872What did he want?
9872What do you know of her?
9872What do you mean by the events of last night?
9872What do you mean by''too much of an Englishman''?
9872What do you mean?
9872What do you mean?
9872What do you mean?
9872What do you think he looks like?
9872What do you want with me?
9872What do you want with me?
9872What do you want?
9872What does he mean?
9872What does it mean?
9872What does it mean?
9872What does the doctor say?
9872What has happened?
9872What has your country done for you? 9872 What have you and Adèle been quarrelling about?"
9872What have you done with him?
9872What is it that has happened?
9872What is it that has upset you so?
9872What is it to be about-- Adèle?
9872What is it?
9872What is the matter with him, doctor?
9872What is the matter with you? 9872 What is the matter, Groves?"
9872What is there left for you to do?
9872What is this secret then?
9872What is to be the end of it between you and her?
9872What is your business with me?
9872What is your next step?
9872What of it?
9872What sort of an hotel is the Universal supposed to be, Gilbert? 9872 What sort of weather has it been?"
9872What telegram?
9872What the devil are you doing there?
9872What the devil are you talking about?
9872What the mischief are you about?
9872What the mischief are you so glum about?
9872What''s the matter with you?
9872What''s wrong?
9872When?
9872Where are our state- rooms?
9872Where are you going?
9872Where can I find him?
9872Where did you discover this paragon?
9872Where did you meet her, Gilbert?
9872Where did you say that you were working?
9872Where does she come from?
9872Where is that?
9872Where is the proprietor?
9872Where shall I let you know?
9872Where to?
9872Where?
9872Where?
9872Who are they? 9872 Who are you?"
9872Who is he?
9872Who is he?
9872Who is she? 9872 Who is that man?"
9872Who is your neighbor?
9872Who let you come-- up here?
9872Who told you about it?
9872Who, sir?
9872Whom do you believe he referred to then?
9872Whom do you mean?
9872Whose?
9872Why did n''t you call me this morning?
9872Why do n''t you wait for a few days, until you have pulled up a little?
9872Why do you ask me that?
9872Why do you ask that?
9872Why not try it?
9872Why not?
9872Why not?
9872Why not?
9872Why not?
9872Why should he not buy his life? 9872 Why the devil should you understand?"
9872Why, is n''t that strange?
9872Why?
9872Why?
9872Will you come in and have something?
9872Will you come into the drawing- room?
9872Will you come this way?
9872Will you follow me?
9872Will you send my card up and ascertain if I can see Mr. Leslie Guest?
9872Will you take your medicine, please?
9872Will you tell me why, as a magistrate of this county, I should not be justified in signing a warrant for your apprehension?
9872Working?
9872Would that have helped us?
9872You are afraid?
9872You are not angry with me, Adèle?
9872You are not satisfied here?
9872You are staying?
9872You are willing to buy your own rifle?
9872You believe,she exclaimed,"that you will succeed?"
9872You believe--"What the devil is one to believe?
9872You do n''t mean that you intend to lie here and be done to death?
9872You do not by chance remember me, I suppose?
9872You do not doubt me?
9872You do not recognize me, Lady Dennisford?
9872You do not think, then, that she will obstruct our plans?
9872You have many friends in London, Herr Paul?
9872You have n''t forgotten me then?
9872You have never seen him before?
9872You have never spoken to him before?
9872You have no peculiarity of speech? 9872 You have not mentioned your recognition of me?"
9872You have seen Miss Van Hoyt then?
9872You have signed the certificate?
9872You have some proofs?
9872You have something to say to me, Monsieur Bardow?
9872You have spoken to her?
9872You have your papers?
9872You have,I suggested,"some other scheme?"
9872You knew me?
9872You know who she is?
9872You like to come and drink a glass of beer with me?
9872You mean my man Peters?
9872You mean that you would have to see him alone?
9872You mean this?
9872You number her,I remarked,"amongst your enemies?"
9872You perhaps do n''t believe my story?
9872You read the papers, I suppose?
9872You recognize it?
9872You saw Lord Polloch?
9872You served at Mayence?
9872You speak French?
9872You think it possible,I asked,"that he is alive now?"
9872You think that he will die?
9872You understand what you are saying?
9872You were with him?
9872You will await us here?
9872You will believe?
9872You will come-- to- morrow?
9872You will drink a health with me?
9872You will have some tea?
9872You will let me hear from you soon?
9872You will marry her some day?
9872You will take something?
9872You wish to speak to me, sir?
9872You would consider her to- day as a friend-- not a likely enemy?
9872You would like to see him?
9872You yourself-- what do you think?
9872You''ll forgive my suggesting it, I''m sure, Hardross,he said,"but you have got something particular to say to him, I suppose?
9872You''re not a nervous person, are you, Gilbert?
9872You''re not frightened of a toy terrier, are you?
9872Your defence of him then,she said,"was simply accidental?"
9872Your friends?
9872Your name is Paul Schmidt?
9872Your what?
9872''But about his life?''
9872*****"Do we receive our deserts in this world?"
98721 Branch of the Waiters''Union?"
9872A few days more or less of life-- what do they matter?"
9872A life for every cartridge, eh?"
9872And Nicholas Courage-- what of him?"
9872And in the second place--""Well?"
9872Any news?"
9872Are n''t you overdoing it a little?
9872Are you content with your life?
9872Are you content?"
9872Are you going to be wise and let fate take its course, or are you going to meddle in affairs which you know nothing about?
9872Are you his legatee?"
9872Are you ill?"
9872Are you prepared, as a man of honor, to give your word to keep secret whatever passes here?"
9872Are you really the legatee of Guest''s secret?"
9872But have you considered what the probable result would be?"
9872But what are you going to do with the knowledge?
9872But--""Well?"
9872By the bye, Gilbert, do you mind keeping what I have told you entirely to yourself?"
9872CHAPTER XXVIII DOUBLE DEALING"What sort of a place is this, anyhow, Guest?"
9872Ca n''t you understand that these things can be arranged?
9872Ca n''t you understand that, unless we grow into our parts, they will never come naturally to us?
9872Can I say more than that?"
9872Can one see the room?"
9872Can the months really write their lines so deeply?"
9872Can we tell him your terms?"
9872Can you bear to hear of another?"
9872Can you stand another?"
9872Could you not dine with me this evening, either in the hotel or elsewhere?
9872Could you yourself recognize me?"
9872Courage am I to provide?"
9872Courage in town?"
9872Courage, I suppose?"
9872Courage, that you have not quarrelled, and you did not know that she was going?"
9872Courage,"he continued;"but may I ask if you have confidence in the manservant who is now travelling with you?"
9872Courage,"he said,"but if you have nothing particular to do for a few minutes, will you smoke a cigarette with me?"
9872Courage,"he said,"that you are still believed here to be dead?"
9872Courage,"she asked,"what are your plans when you land?"
9872Courage,"she said,"may I speak to you as a friend?"
9872Courage,"she said,"you are going to marry Adèle?"
9872Courage--""Well?"
9872Courage?"
9872Courage?"
9872Courage?"
9872Courage?"
9872Courage?"
9872Courage?"
9872Did our friend, before he died, impart to you any of the hallucinations under which he suffered?
9872Did you ever hear of Wortley Foote?"
9872Did you get the passengers''list?"
9872Do n''t you see that it must be so?
9872Do you agree?"
9872Do you hear?"
9872Do you know him?"
9872Do you know that gentleman?"
9872Do you know who he was?"
9872Do you know why I have made them spare his life?"
9872Do you mind if I wire for a friend of mine to come down and see him?"
9872Do you object to telling me when the funeral will be?"
9872Do you think that Polloch would see me?"
9872Do you think that a single copy will ever leave this place?"
9872Do you think that we shall have trouble with the French aristocrats?"
9872Do you wish to draw back?"
9872Does it satisfy you?
9872Eh?"
9872Five wickets for 120 is n''t it?
9872Guest himself encouraged you in your attempt to interfere between him and his inevitable fate?
9872Guest is here now?"
9872Guest is his own master, is he not?
9872Guest,"I said,"that you are not exaggerating the importance of this secret knowledge of yours?
9872Guest?"
9872Have you any friends over here whom I should be likely to come across?"
9872Have you any influence at all with any member of your government?"
9872Have you any objection to seeing my doctor?"
9872Have you looked out of the window?"
9872Have you seen Mr. de Valentin?"
9872He is a Frenchman, is he not?"
9872How are we to get there?
9872How are we to penetrate its secrets?"
9872How can you hope to succeed when he failed?
9872How do you think it will be with us at the French Court?
9872How else could I have escaped?
9872How goes it, Courage?"
9872How long have you known her?"
9872I addressed him in French:"How are you?"
9872I am delighted, of course; but"--she continued, looking at me wonderingly--"what has happened to you?
9872I am quite willing to go in and examine him, if you like, or would you prefer to wait until the doctor comes?"
9872I asked,"that I could bring sorrow upon you?"
9872I asked--"what country, I mean?
9872I exclaimed;"what the mischief are you doing here?"
9872I hope that I have not unwillingly been the cause of any unpleasantness?"
9872I presume that I may take that for granted?"
9872I presume you would like me to take entire charge of all the arrangements?"
9872I said--"a sleek, middle- aged man smoking a cigar?"
9872I suppose it''s for me?"
9872I suppose you are right- handed?
9872I take it then that you have no suspicion that your servant is any other than he professes to be?"
9872I to tell him everything?"
9872I wonder what she had in her head?"
9872I wonder whether we shall see her this evening?"
9872I wonder,"she added, with a faint smile,"what chance you would have of being at the meeting to- night, if I should deliver it now?"
9872In what different manner can we approach this wooden- headed government?
9872Is he awake?"
9872Is it agreed?"
9872Is n''t that the natural conclusion?"
9872Is that fellow a crank, or is he going to pull this thing off?"
9872Is that not so?"
9872Is the change in our appearance sufficient?"
9872Is the cricket over for the day now?"
9872Is the door locked?"
9872Is there anything I can do?"
9872Is there to be a post- mortem?"
9872Is this a trap?"
9872It is possible that I may--""It is true, then,"she interrupted breathlessly,"you are really meaning to go with his schemes?"
9872It would be easily earned; eh?"
9872Jim, will you come?"
9872May I, by the way, Mrs. Van Reinberg,"I continued,"ask you a question?"
9872Must I count you amongst my enemies?"
9872Nothing serious, I hope?"
9872Now tell me, what is this?"
9872Now that the Café Suisse is in the hands of strangers, will not your friends change their meeting- place?"
9872Now will you do exactly as I ask you?"
9872Now, first of all, have you seen the morning papers?"
9872Rather out of your line, this sort of thing, is n''t it?"
9872Say, Richard, are you listening?
9872Say, will you pass that bottle, sir?
9872Shall I fetch him?"
9872Shall I go on?"
9872Shall I tell you his message to you?"
9872Shall these remain idle at such a time?
9872Shall we be accepted as the original holders of these titles would have been?
9872Shall you feel well enough to come down and have dinner with me, or would you like something served up here?"
9872She is pretty, this little one?"
9872She seemed to be listening to the music-- or was there something there which she did not wish me to see?
9872She simply asked the one sensible question:"What can I do?"
9872So you were thinking of taking this restaurant, eh?"
9872So?"
9872Some one has been in the room-- or--""Or what?"
9872Supposing Miss Van Hoyt should herself fix the date of your visit, and engage to be there?"
9872Supposing your invasion should take place, who is going to keep them in check?
9872Tell me-- is he worse?"
9872That is so, is n''t it?"
9872The Duke of Westlingham is a relation of yours, is he not?"
9872The Power of whom you have spoken-- is it England?"
9872These are your final resources, are they not?
9872These your things?
9872They spend money these members, eh?"
9872What about Miss Van Hoyt?"
9872What can we do, Jim?
9872What did he suggest?"
9872What do these people want with you?"
9872What do they do-- sing, talk, or is it business?"
9872What do you think of us?"
9872What does it amount to?"
9872What else is there that counts?"
9872What has life to do with games and sports?
9872What have you to do with Leslie Guest''s enemies?"
9872What is it?"
9872What is there we can offer you to leave him in peace?"
9872What nights do they meet?"
9872What on earth can you have to say to the Prime Minister?"
9872What on earth have you been doing with yourself?"
9872What shall we be able to call ourselves?"
9872What would your sweetheart say if she knew that you were throwing away a chance of marrying her, perhaps next month?
9872What''s the good of having a husband whose nod is supposed to shake the money markets of the world, if you do n''t make use of him?"
9872Where are you staying?"
9872Where can I see you afterwards?"
9872Where can we talk alone, we three?"
9872Where did you get those clothes?"
9872Where does she come from?
9872Where is it?"
9872Where''s the Marquis?
9872Which is the Power, think you, most likely to play such a magnificent, such a generous part in the history of the nations?
9872Which path shall I follow?"
9872Who are you?"
9872Who can tell?"
9872Who will be my guide?
9872Who would have believed that ready- made clothes from Hamburg, glasses and a beard could work such a change?"
9872Who would have thought that a fortnight on a German steamer and six weeks in Hamburg would have turned you out such a finished article?"
9872Whom can we appeal to?"
9872Why did you leave me in London without a word?"
9872Why do you ask?"
9872Why do you ask?"
9872Why do you smile, Herr Schmidt?"
9872Why embroil yourself in an affair with which you have no concern?"
9872Why should I do it?"
9872Why should he?
9872Why should n''t you come a little way into life?"
9872Why should n''t you come with me, Adèle?"
9872Why, what can our Secret Service be about?"
9872Why?"
9872Will you believe this?"
9872Will you give me Miss Van Hoyt''s address?"
9872Will you go out to him now?
9872Will you go to him, tell him what you know of us, tell him who Guest is and his history?
9872Will you leave your door open, so that if I call in the night you may hear?"
9872Will you listen to me for a moment?"
9872Will you listen to what I have to say?"
9872With what object?"
9872Yet, after all, was he abject?
9872You are a German born?"
9872You are content?"
9872You are interested, of course?"
9872You believe me?"
9872You can hold it back for an hour or so, ca n''t you?"
9872You have been to the government?"
9872You have everything else; have you ambition?"
9872You have n''t been getting yourself into trouble, have you?"
9872You have n''t come for nothing, have you?
9872You have n''t made any friends there?"
9872You remember the color of his hair?
9872You saw him last night?"
9872You understand that?"
9872You will be there?"
9872You will listen?"
9872You wo n''t disappoint us?"
9872You would not object to meet him in consultation?"
9872and who is to be his executioner?
9872he asked,"what''s up?"
9872she exclaimed,"have you seen my woman?
9872she said slowly,"it takes time that, eh?"
9872what is there behind that curtain?
9872you and-- your cousin were great friends, were you not?"
55510A cigarette, dear Lady Jim?
55510A weapon?
55510A widow has no bridesmaids, I believe?
55510About the ship? 55510 About this business,"she began, when the old woman was again her cheerful, cynical self:"could you spare me ten minutes, godmother?"
55510Ah, but did he say how he had parted from his family because of his advanced ideas? 55510 Ai n''t you afraid of my striking you?"
55510Aksakoff----"What of him?
55510Also?
55510Am I marrying Othello?
55510Am I never going to have a good time?
55510Am I not to touch your finger- tips meanwhile?
55510Am I to arbitrate?
55510Am I to pay you a compliment, or rebuke you for frivolity?
55510Am I to take your use of my title as an intimation that we are to be strangers?
55510Am I to wish you joy?
55510Am I-- of being bored to death?
55510Am I?
55510An''do the washin'', an''the scrubbing and the cookin''? 55510 An''how long will your share last?"
55510An''what else should it be dependent upon?
55510An''why should n''t we? 55510 An''you saw Demetrius?"
55510And a rich boy?
55510And accumulations,supplemented Lady Jim;"but need we talk of such things, now?"
55510And as pretty as ever?
55510And does he know that his disappearance means our marriage?
55510And for me to travel in Siberia?
55510And for what, pray?
55510And his father?
55510And if you do not get it?
55510And if you go back to Russia?
55510And my enemies are his enemies?
55510And my friend?
55510And my reward?
55510And on other occasions?
55510And pray what have you done, Lady James?
55510And pray why should I be pleased?
55510And the Duke-- Frith?
55510And the ace?
55510And the meaning of that remark, madame?
55510And the security, my dear?
55510And then?
55510And then?
55510And therefore unlucky in love?
55510And what about me?
55510And when do you sail?
55510And why-- according to your lights? 55510 And why?"
55510And why?
55510And you believe me?
55510And you did?
55510And you love her?
55510And you prefer_ pâtà © de foie gras_ and champagne?
55510And you will pardon my mentioning the harpy''s name?
55510And you will?
55510And you?
55510And your husband had been really a corpse? 55510 And your philanthropic search?"
55510And-- and you-- you will say-- nothing?
55510Are the heavens falling?
55510Are you and Jim going on a second honeymoon?
55510Are you clever?
55510Are you coming into the''devil''s parlour''?
55510Are you speaking honestly?
55510Are you teaching it to me now?
55510Are you thinking of the insurance money?
55510As I am now the scamp''s widow, had that not better have been left unsaid?
55510As the fairy queen?
55510Askew follows?
55510At Hilda in the pulpit? 55510 At everything?"
55510At this hour?
55510Bit of a tongue, has n''t she?
55510Bless me, Lady James, had he a weapon?
55510But I say, ca n''t I come and see you in town?
55510But are letters necessary? 55510 But are you quite prepared?
55510But do n''t you think you could contrive to be a little less rude?
55510But have you not heard?
55510But how can I----?
55510But how does it benefit you?
55510But if I tell----"Tell what?
55510But if you died, Jim?
55510But if you saw no way of getting it?
55510But in the majestic pages of Gibbon----"Who? 55510 But the car, my lady?"
55510But what can you expect from the Russian bear?
55510But what interest can you have in my soul-- if I have one?
55510But when will that be? 55510 But will your husband give you up?"
55510But you say it in English, and how can----?
55510But you wo n''t frighten me any more with this religious talk?
55510But your man, Miss Mulrady-- the Askew chap?
55510But your reason?
55510But, Leah, I swear----"By that soul you know nothing about?
55510But, my dear Duchess"What''s the use of talking?
55510But-- what is love?
55510By what?
55510By your tongue? 55510 Ca n''t I?
55510Ca n''t anything be done?
55510Ca n''t you borrow, Jim?
55510Ca n''t you raise money on it?
55510Ca n''t you think more kindly of him, now that he is gone?
55510Can I believe that?
55510Can I never put fire into that clay?
55510Can any child be much too good?
55510Can not I be both?
55510Can not you wait till after the funeral?
55510Can we not drop our masks, madame?
55510Can you not grasp the fact that I am a widow? 55510 Can you not make your peace without her influence?"
55510Can you not understand?
55510Can you substantiate that statement, seeing how embarrassed your worldly affairs are at this moment?
55510Can you tell the truth in any one of them?
55510Can you wonder at it, my dear, when you are so sweet and gentle and womanly?
55510Can you wonder at it, when I have to go round and round and round in a decorated ring like a trick- pony? 55510 Can you wonder at it?
55510Can you wonder if I do? 55510 Captain Strange?
55510Change so rapidly? 55510 Consumption?
55510Demetrius? 55510 Demetrius?
55510Demetrius?
55510Did I ever receive it?
55510Did I ever say that I did?
55510Did I ever tell you so?
55510Did I? 55510 Did I?"
55510Did he suffer much?
55510Did he? 55510 Did n''t George Eliot say something of the sort?"
55510Did the Duke leave a cheque for me?
55510Did you not know that the letter was forged?
55510Did you not say that he would aid me to regain my position, if I gave up Katinka?
55510Did you not see him?
55510Did you offer assistance so that you might meddle?
55510Do I look so uncivilised?
55510Do I not deserve to be called Constantine, now?
55510Do n''t I?
55510Do n''t they teach English at Eton, Billy?
55510Do they? 55510 Do you and Jim go down to Firmingham for Christmas?"
55510Do you believe in anything?
55510Do you ever read?
55510Do you follow, doctor?
55510Do you intend to assault me again?
55510Do you mean to say----?
55510Do you mean to tell me----?
55510Do you mind imprisonment?
55510Do you really mean that?
55510Do you really think so?
55510Do you really think so?
55510Do you require me to tell you that?
55510Do you? 55510 Does Demetrius think he will die?"
55510Does he know the kings of England?
55510Does n''t he know he is dead, and is about to be buried?
55510Does that imply that you wish me to be a real widow, after posing as a sham one?
55510Does this remind you of the steppes?
55510Does what need words?
55510Doing cake- walks?
55510Et moi aussi?
55510Even at love?
55510Even if Katinka makes him your son- in- law?
55510Even then, Leah, do you really like this man?
55510Even when genuine?
55510Explain what?
55510Explanations?
55510Faith in what?
55510Followed you?
55510For Buenos Ayres?
55510For debts,said Leah, sweetly;"but Miss Tallentire?"
55510For what, madame, since you assure me of your innocence?
55510For what?
55510For what?
55510Freddy? 55510 From God?
55510Garth dead?
55510Garth? 55510 Garth?
55510Get up steam an''fizzle a bit, ca n''t you?
55510Goin''in for rouge et noir with Lady Jim?
55510Goin''t''begin agin?
55510Goin''t''cut int''th''thousand?
55510Goin''to make a play of it?
55510Got a headache?
55510Guess what?
55510Had n''t we better leave honour out of this shady business we are about to embark in?
55510Had not you ladies better retire?
55510Half the money-- eh? 55510 Harry Askew?"
55510Have I encouraged him?
55510Have I not cause?
55510Have the-- er-- bodies been found?
55510Have you ever had everything you wished for, Lady James?
55510Have you ever heard Mr. Kaimes talk Chinese metaphysics, Miss Tallentire?
55510Have you ever heard of_ The Woman in White?_asked Leah, irrelevantly.
55510Have you not made my life miserable with your looks and smiles and coldness and beauty?
55510He can practise for it here,said Jim, shivering,"Beastly cold, is n''t it, Leah?
55510He dared to kiss you?
55510He''s at Southend, is n''t he?
55510Heard? 55510 His what?"
55510How are we goin''to get through the business at this rate?
55510How are you, Duke? 55510 How are you, Leah darling?
55510How are you, Miss Mulrady?
55510How are you?
55510How ca n''t I, you mean,he replied, smiling;"do you think I am as cold as the snow?"
55510How can I believe, when I do not believe?
55510How can I repent, when I do not even feel sorry?
55510How can they be, when----?
55510How can you expect me to look well, when Lionel here has been quoting texts for want of originality?
55510How can you think so badly of me?
55510How could I be so cruel?
55510How d''y do, Captain Lake? 55510 How dare you say that?"
55510How did you guess, Jim?
55510How do you know I shall?
55510How do you know that?
55510How do you----?
55510How does my daughter know that?
55510How long do you intend to stand there saying''Oh!''?
55510How long has Mr. Askew been devoting his energies to such things?
55510How much are you paying for her?
55510How often do you wish me to say so? 55510 How should I know?
55510How should I know? 55510 How should I know?"
55510How should I know?
55510How would you have me earn my salary, then?
55510How''s the betting, William?
55510How, then, could you persuade him to use his influence?
55510How-- how dare you?
55510Hum,he repeated, biting his forefinger;"you will be marrying again?"
55510Hump? 55510 I am enjoying this day,"said Joan, as they walked rapidly towards the park gates;"but what will Lady Canvey say?"
55510I am myself; who can be stronger than myself? 55510 I am right, then?"
55510I am so glad; when do you expect the happy event?
55510I believe you want some other woman''s husband?
55510I can understand the first; the second may be explained by wholly unnecessary jealousy; but the final one-- this marriage you speak of?
55510I comprehend; but why should you make use of the wrong word?
55510I entirely agree with you,confessed Leah, candidly; then added with impatient anger,"Do you expect me to tell you lies?"
55510I presume, Lady James, that this man closely resembles your husband?
55510I realise that I have one sovereign; and you----?
55510I say, Jim, is this going to last for ever?
55510I say, you couldn''t----?
55510I suppose you missed Señorita Fajardo then?
55510I suppose you will drop the parson now?
55510I thought you said of Lima?
55510I will speak plainly, madame----"About Katinka and her infatuation? 55510 I wonder if I can make fact out of fiction?"
55510I_ do_ think so; but surely you know?
55510If I had, should I cure it with a novel?
55510If Lionel fails with the Duke, Demetrius might----Might what?
55510If M. Demetrius becomes his medical attendant?
55510If it could be, would you surrender everything and----?
55510If what?
55510If you love him not, why torture him, and me? 55510 If you saw my son----""Was he in church this morning?"
55510If you think so, why not make amends and marry her?
55510In Pacific waters?
55510In Russia?
55510In my hotel? 55510 In return for thus arranging your domestic affairs,"continued the doctor, unmoved by the sarcasm,"will you gain my pardon from the Czar?
55510In the criminal way?
55510In what way?
55510Indeed? 55510 Indeed?"
55510Is Dr. Demetrius there?
55510Is Señorita Fajardo in the same predicament as the service?
55510Is he dead, then?
55510Is he ever whipped?
55510Is he stopping in Paris?
55510Is he-- is he?
55510Is he? 55510 Is her husband here?"
55510Is his name Berring?
55510Is it a compliment?
55510Is it all right between you and James?
55510Is it impossible?
55510Is it not true? 55510 Is it now?
55510Is it really a fit?
55510Is it safe?
55510Is it, indeed? 55510 Is n''t it rather late in the day?"
55510Is she a nice woman?
55510Is she so much in love with Mr. Berring, then?
55510Is that all?
55510Is that as high as you can rise?
55510Is there any one here you would like to make a side- dish of?
55510Is there anything good on?
55510Is there? 55510 Is this a consultation?"
55510It is beastly, is n''t it? 55510 It is not true?"
55510Jewellers''windows?
55510Katinka had a letter?
55510Katinka?
55510Lady James, do you love any one but yourself?
55510Lady Jim?
55510Later on, perhaps-- who knows?
55510Later on, perhaps-- who knows?
55510Leah, do you really mean it?
55510Leah, how did you get this disease?
55510Leaves how much, Jim?
55510Leavin''you out, ma''am?
55510Like th''Duchess?
55510Lima?
55510Lionel, how can you?
55510Lionel,said she, hesitatingly,"will you send for Jim?"
55510Madame Aksakoff is-- Madame Aksakoff; and you, are----"Well, what?
55510Mademoiselle Ninette? 55510 Married who?"
55510May I present my nephew to you?
55510Me? 55510 Meaning me?"
55510Might I suggest''sophistry''?
55510Miss Fastine? 55510 Miss Mamie Mulrady?
55510Miss-- how much?
55510Misunderstanding?
55510Mr. Askew goes to Paris, also?
55510Mr. Lionel Kaimes?
55510Mrs.--Penworthy?
55510Must you go? 55510 Must you?"
55510My dear man, when am I anything else but worried, with Jim for a husband, and the Duke behaving like Shylock at his worst? 55510 My father?"
55510My good friend, have I not said so? 55510 My husband is in England, then?"
55510My need of what?
55510Need we keep on your comedy, madame?
55510Ninette? 55510 No; who is she?"
55510No; why should I?
55510Not gone yet?
55510Now that the sermon''s over, can I pass round the plate?
55510Now that you have finished saying sweet things, what next?
55510Now then,she continued, feeling relieved that those fierce eyes were not making her flesh creep,"do you know what you are, Monsieur Demetrius?"
55510Of consumption?
55510Of course,assented Aksakoff, dryly; then added, with a significance she ignored:"Do you go alone to Paris?"
55510Of the high- toned gilt- edged sort, with red scalps?
55510Oh, Bunny, how could you call poor Leah and her husband names? 55510 Oh, Lord, do n''t I know it?
55510Oh, Lord, what do you want me to say?
55510Oh, Lord, who wanted a right light? 55510 Oh, if you''re goin''to make a row----""Do I ever make rows?"
55510Oh, so Demetrius knows him?
55510Oh, the Duke is very kind to him, is he? 55510 Oh,"she cried, with great enjoyment,"so it was Mr. Askew''s attentions that made you lose your head?"
55510On Jim''s account?
55510On a thousand a year, and such a husband as I have?
55510On board Strange''s odd- job steamer? 55510 Only a fiver I intend to borrow from a sure man,"said Jim;"but I say, what''s to be done?"
55510Or loved me-- which?
55510Original?
55510Our conversation at Monte Carlo----"Did we converse? 55510 Over tea,"she echoed equally slowly--"tea, after luncheon?"
55510Passage money for my husband?
55510Plaà ® t- il?
55510Poor Jim,she mocked scornfully;"are you going to cry up his virtues?"
55510Quite like a Christmas card, is n''t it, Jim?
55510Quite so, and can not you see that such sorrow explains everything?
55510Ras-- ras-- rascality?
55510Read? 55510 Really?
55510Reason from women?
55510Say, ma''am, ai n''t you afeared?
55510Shall I war- whoop, or dance a horn- pipe?
55510Should n''t you say that he is not lost but gone before? 55510 Should not your little boy be at school?"
55510Since when have you taken him to your heart?
55510So thoughtful of him, is n''t it?
55510So weak, madame?
55510So you''ve pulled the wool over his eyes again?
55510Sounds like a few years of oakum- pickin'', do n''t it? 55510 Southend?
55510Strange? 55510 Struck on a reef?"
55510Supposing I could love you-- what then?
55510Supposing he died and was buried in place of me, you mean?
55510Tea?
55510That means you will not prosecute?
55510That the coffee-- or rather, that the tea was drugged?
55510That the so- called Dr. Helfmann was a spy?
55510That you may save them?
55510That you''re my neighbour?
55510That young man, madame?
55510That''s a trifle personal, is n''t it?
55510That''s bunkum, an''--an''--what''s the word?
55510The Third Section?
55510The actress? 55510 The insurance,"said Leah, thoughtfully;"twenty thousand pounds, is n''t it, Jim?"
55510The man who has taken his name from Abraham''s cemetery? 55510 The what?"
55510The-- change?
55510Their outfit ca n''t cost much, then,declared Leah, flippantly;"but are n''t we going to talk business?
55510Then I am wrong?
55510Then I gather that you do not blame me for your exile?
55510Then how-- how----?
55510Then the high- born nobleman does not credit me with being a gentleman?
55510Then why are n''t you on your knees?
55510Then why did you behave so badly, you wicked boy?
55510Then why did you----did you?
55510Then why do n''t they?
55510Then why does n''t he stick to the one he''s legally entitled to?
55510Then why is Mr. Askew at large?
55510Then why talk nonsense?
55510Then you can not be cured?
55510Then you do n''t love me?
55510Then you knew it would come to this?
55510Then you''ve been playing with me?
55510There never really was, and if you really love this estancia lady, why not marry her?
55510There were no fire- brigades in those days, were there?
55510There''s no chance of your getting it sooner?
55510They had no suspicion-- these people?
55510Through Mademoiselle Askakoff?
55510Through that Russian Johnny?
55510To continue in your sins? 55510 To me, or to that pretty, vivacious girl over there?"
55510Touchin''the passage money, as you might call it in a high- falutin''way, ma''am?
55510Understand what?
55510Unless?
55510Very good?
55510Well, I ca n''t help that, can I? 55510 Well, an''ai n''t it true?"
55510Well, and do n''t men take to drink when they are worried? 55510 Well, and what did they say?"
55510Well, and what else could the poor man have done?
55510Well, but supposing you did?
55510Well, madame?
55510Well, should n''t I be paying the largest price for getting the cash?
55510Well, then,Jim fiddled nervously with a piece of toast,"why not get the twenty thousand?"
55510Well, what matter? 55510 Well, you know words of two syllables, do n''t you?"
55510Well,said Jim, obtusely,"ai n''t you a woman?"
55510Well,said Jim, stolidly clipping his weed,"you live now, do n''t you?"
55510Well?
55510Well?
55510Well?
55510Well?
55510Were-- you-- reading the Bible?
55510What about Jim? 55510 What about this truck?"
55510What about?
55510What am I to smile at?
55510What an admirable definition?
55510What are they?
55510What are you reading so earnestly?
55510What business----?
55510What business?
55510What can you expect if you go a mucker? 55510 What conspiracy?"
55510What did they write, Miss Jaffray?
55510What do you mean by coming at this late hour and misbehaving?
55510What do you mean by that?
55510What do you mean by that?
55510What do you mean by that?
55510What do you mean?
55510What do you mean?
55510What do you mean?
55510What do you mean?
55510What do you mean?
55510What do you think of all this?
55510What do you-- that is-- on what grounds----? 55510 What does all this mean?"
55510What does it matter what he thinks?
55510What does it matter, so long as you do pay?
55510What does she mean?
55510What else do you think attracted me? 55510 What events?"
55510What has that to do with this?
55510What has that to do with you?
55510What hold have I over you?
55510What insurance money? 55510 What is it?"
55510What is it?
55510What is it?
55510What is it?--what is it?
55510What is natural?
55510What is she up to now?
55510What is taffy?
55510What is that to you?
55510What is that you say about sin?
55510What is the Ego?
55510What is the glory of the rainbow to the colour- blind?
55510What is the matter with you?
55510What is this Demetrius to you?
55510What is your price?
55510What letter is that?
55510What lie am I to tell''bout your sickness?
55510What man? 55510 What matter, since you, Constantine Demetrius, are neither poor nor weak?"
55510What money?
55510What money?
55510What on earth for?
55510What on earth for?
55510What on earth is that?
55510What other women?
55510What should be wrong?
55510What the deuce is that?
55510What trouble?
55510What was I reading when you entered?
55510What were you doin''at Southend?
55510What will Marjory say if you make my house your hotel?
55510What would you? 55510 What''s a rotter, Sir Billy?"
55510What''s his game this time, I wonder?
55510What''s his price?
55510What''s his trouble?
55510What''s she been doin''?
55510What''s that in English?
55510What''s that, Leah?
55510What''s that?
55510What''s that?
55510What''s that?
55510What''s the difference?
55510What''s the matter,--anything wrong?
55510What''s the use of being good?
55510What''s the use of talking rubbish?
55510What''s the use of that? 55510 What''s up?"
55510What, about the money we''ve raised on the income?
55510What? 55510 What?
55510What_ do_ you mean?
55510When did you start her?
55510When will you go down?
55510When you have made such a fool of yourself? 55510 Where has he gone, Lionel?"
55510Where is Mr. Askew? 55510 Where is he?"
55510Where is who?
55510Where is your Master?
55510Where is your proof?
55510Where the-- what the-- you saw him?
55510Where to?
55510Wheresey hang out?
55510Who cares? 55510 Who ever heard of tea in the middle of the day?"
55510Who have driven?
55510Who indeed? 55510 Who is Constantine?"
55510Who is Harold Garth?
55510Who is he?
55510Who knows? 55510 Who said I could?
55510Who wants to vex him? 55510 Who were you living on abroad?"
55510Who will be happy?
55510Who? 55510 Who?"
55510Why artificial? 55510 Why ca n''t you speak plainly?"
55510Why did you do it, then?
55510Why did you go to Southend?
55510Why did you go to Southend?
55510Why did you leave Russia, Monsieur Demetrius?
55510Why did you look surprised when you saw that gentleman at the door?
55510Why did you only hear this week- old news yesterday?
55510Why did you?
55510Why do n''t you laugh?
55510Why do you not give me my proper title?
55510Why do you, a sceptic, ask about these things?
55510Why does n''t this young man''s family keep him instead of letting the Duke support him?
55510Why does the prodigal son always banquet on the calf?
55510Why from me? 55510 Why have you such a bitter tongue?"
55510Why is it good women are always dull and dowdy?
55510Why not Leah?
55510Why not a gourmand? 55510 Why not after?"
55510Why not come over and escort us back to town?
55510Why not explain your position, and----?
55510Why not in Jamaica?
55510Why not one word-- indigestion?
55510Why not say a woman? 55510 Why not''her''leprosy?"
55510Why not, if you achieve your object in reconciling enemies?
55510Why not, when an heir is so important? 55510 Why not?
55510Why not? 55510 Why not?
55510Why not? 55510 Why not?
55510Why not? 55510 Why not?"
55510Why not?
55510Why not?
55510Why should I bother? 55510 Why should I?"
55510Why should I?
55510Why should I?
55510Why should the sight of an empty house so startle you, madame?
55510Why should you think me willing to do so?
55510Why so, dear?
55510Why then do you lure him to your feet?
55510Why to Jamaica?
55510Why to Lima? 55510 Why to luncheon?"
55510Why''thank God''?
55510Why, you horrid little boy?
55510Will inquiries be made about him?
55510Will it ease your mind if I say that I have no intention of accepting any impertinent proposal he may make?
55510Will yon drive or walk?
55510Will you be long, Duke?
55510Will you give me another cup of tea?
55510Will you go with him?
55510Will you have a cup of tea?
55510Will you let me explain?
55510Will you not permit me to prove my belief?
55510Will you permit me to leave you for a time?
55510Will you see the Duke, and ask him to give us-- say-- er-- er-- well, two thousand pounds?
55510With Jim?
55510With the crumbs from my husband''s table?
55510Without admiring the Estrelles?
55510Without any scandal?
55510Without harm to Jim or this man Garth?
55510Without knowing his address? 55510 Wo n''t you kiss me, Leah?"
55510Wo n''t you sit down?
55510Wo n''t you speak to the Duke?
55510Worth five thousand pounds, perhaps?
55510Would you mind speaking in a lower tone?
55510Would you versify explanations?
55510Yes, dear James, and you''ll live as other men do, wo n''t you?
55510Yes; I wrote to him about the chances of his pardon----"Are there any chances?
55510You accept my apology?
55510You allude to Mademoiselle Ninette?
55510You approve of a full table, madame?
55510You are a guest now,she rejoined, with a nervous laugh;"is the tea to your liking?"
55510You can eat?
55510You did n''t think Jim was so original, did you, godmother?
55510You do n''t like him?
55510You do n''t suppose I mean murder, do you?
55510You do?
55510You doubt me, Constantine,whispered the she- Judas, with trembling tenderness;"will not this----?"
55510You doubt the story, then?
55510You go to Havre-- to- night?
55510You go to Paris?
55510You have asserted your innocence before,murmured the sick man, ironically;"and now----""Now?"
55510You have paid me on Jim''s behalf-- is that not so?
55510You know that she struck me?
55510You know why I have come?
55510You live there?
55510You promise, then, to right me with the Czar?
55510You there, M. Aksakoff? 55510 You want a thousand pounds?"
55510You were about to observe, madame?
55510You will let me tell him?
55510You would be pleased?
55510You''re a ripping woman in the way of looks,he said, throwing down the newspaper;"if you went on the stage-- eh?"
55510You''re not goin''to read, are you? 55510 You''re sure he''s dyin''?"
55510You''ve see him, then?
55510You, I, and----?
55510Your husband is next in succession?
55510Your husband?
55510Your lip is cut, then?
55510A wakeful night-- eh?
55510After you confessin''that you kissed Demetrius?"
55510Ah, you cruel woman, have I not worshipped and adored you these many days?
55510Ai n''t I goin''to disappear?"
55510Aksakoff?"
55510Aksakoff?"
55510Aksakoff?"
55510All I want to know is, if this business can be managed, will you do your share by disappearing?"
55510Am I a doll?"
55510Am I not your husband?"
55510Am I to mourn with spurious lamentations that selfish profligate, who would have broken my heart had he ever possessed it?
55510Am I, I ask you, free to play you this trick of a hasty marriage, when you can expose me as privy to a fraud?
55510An''this noo game o''yours, ma''am?"
55510An''what''ll y''pay the Doc.?"
55510An''when might that be?"
55510An''why James?"
55510And Demetrius?
55510And after all, was there not a cat of Heine''s acquaintance, who made genuflections before a pink- ribboned flageolet?
55510And as it grows late and I am tired, may I ask you to explain your business?"
55510And her friends----?"
55510And if a few tradesmen were ruined, what did it matter?
55510And she----?"
55510And the letters?"
55510And the necessary verb?"
55510And the price?"
55510And the terrified soul, sobbing unheeded, waited for the rapidly approaching hour which would send it forth disembodied-- whither?
55510And the woman in the red dress?"
55510And what had Jim to leave behind him besides his character?"
55510And what has it all to do with me?"
55510And when you get through your lot, Jim, what will you do?"
55510And who can say to what limit they recede, if limit there be?
55510And why not, seeing that she had baited her hook with a sprat to catch the much- needed mackerel?
55510And yet----"What are you talking about?"
55510And you?"
55510And you?"
55510Any more freaks?"
55510Any more questions?"
55510Anything else?"
55510Are n''t these suggestions rather premature?
55510Are we not all sinners?"
55510Are you going out?"
55510Are you mad?"
55510Are you married?"
55510Are you so good yourself, that you can refuse charity to the dead?"
55510Are you?
55510Are you?"
55510As doctor or Prince?"
55510Askew?"
55510Because I do not put up Jim as a pig- idol, to worship with crocodile tears?"
55510Been to the theatres lately, Lady Jim?"
55510Berring?"
55510Berring?"
55510Berring?"
55510Berring?"
55510But are you really and truly sorry?"
55510But ca n''t we talk of something more interesting-- your sermon, for instance?"
55510But can you believe this story-- it seems incredible?"
55510But first tell me honestly, can Christ cure me?"
55510But he managed by a violent effort to wet his lips with a stiff tongue, and made it form certain words:"Are you sure of this?"
55510But how could she possibly learn that he was there?"
55510But how do you know?"
55510But how to bring up the subject again without pandering to her husband''s desire to be master?
55510But we must all die, dear Leah, and death is the gate of life, and----""Ca n''t you leave these proverbial condolences to Lionel?"
55510But what was behind this offer?
55510But what''s the use of talking obituary notices?
55510But when you come to die?"
55510But who tells the truth to a parson?"
55510But who will help me out of the mire-- who will----?"
55510But why talk of Jim''s marrying again, when you are in the best of health and spirits?"
55510But would you help those you hate, and at a sacrifice?"
55510But, after all, what could the man say likely to incriminate her, seeing that she had moved amongst the pitfalls of the plot as delicately as Agag?
55510But-- the Son of God?"
55510By the way, how is Mademoiselle Aksakoff?"
55510By the way, how is she, and the darling, darling twins?
55510By the way, where is my darling?"
55510CHAPTER X"What is love?"
55510Ca n''t we let this house?"
55510Ca n''t you be more womanly?"
55510Ca n''t you be original?"
55510Ca n''t you give up this wild life, and go abroad to devote yourself to Jim?
55510Ca n''t you see how I tremble?"
55510Ca n''t you see?"
55510Ca n''t you trust me, man?"
55510Can I call you Lady Jim?"
55510Can it be managed?"
55510Can you arrange for the rehabilitation, of this exiled Esau?"
55510Can you gain it?"
55510Can you not credit me with more exclusive tastes?"
55510Can you say that, when His hand has struck you down?
55510Can you tell me, you-- you who assume to know the secrets of the stars?"
55510Captain Lake, will you give me a cigarette?"
55510Could Rothschild have financed things better?
55510Could she accept life as a Thing and not as a Being?
55510Could she bear to see that gradually disappear?
55510Could you get me whitewashed in that time?"
55510D''y''intend t''advertise th''circus?"
55510Demetrius?
55510Demetrius?"
55510Demetrius?"
55510Demetrius?"
55510Demetrius?"
55510Did Lady Jim know?
55510Did he not tell you how he threatened me?"
55510Did n''t Joan tell you how he was taken ill in Paris?"
55510Did n''t you, Bunny?"
55510Did not a peacock''s feather adorn one of the motor- car lamps?
55510Did the Duke''s lecture give you an appetite?"
55510Did the blow hurt you?"
55510Did the old fool take them for the respectable middle- class couple, living in slate- roofed houses, to which she had alluded?
55510Did you come to tell me that Queen Anne is dead?"
55510Did you cry too, Jim?"
55510Did you ever know a diplomatist who told the truth?"
55510Do I not ache here?"
55510Do n''t you think it is?
55510Do n''t you think it would be better if you sat down and talked pleasantly?"
55510Do n''t you think so, Lord Hengist?"
55510Do n''t you think so?"
55510Do you extract amusement from the Tallentire girl in the same way?"
55510Do you hear, you who sold him?
55510Do you hear?"
55510Do you mind imprisonment?"
55510Do you mind?"
55510Do you propose to shoot or stab me, or to blow me up?
55510Do you remember La Fontaine''s fable?"
55510Do you speak of yourself?"
55510Do you suppose that I have spoken to this double of yours, or have let any one know that I have read the book?
55510Do you think that I, who am flesh and blood, care for your lady and gentleman humbug?
55510Do you think, knowing his danger, he would trust himself in Paris?
55510Does it need words?"
55510Does my thought confirm facts?"
55510Does one generally make a friend of one''s doctor?"
55510Done?
55510Feel sick?"
55510Freezes a bit-- what?
55510God ordered her to fly; was it worth while to trust to Him for wings?
55510Goin'', old man?
55510Good- tempered!--why not, with a healthy body and an equable nature?
55510Got a puff?"
55510Got any sportin''number?"
55510Had Jim been obliterated at last?
55510Had the golden goose laid two eggs instead of one?
55510Had this woman marred her beauty?
55510Had we not better get to business?"
55510Hall?"
55510Hall?"
55510Has Lady Canvey been converted, or has Jim gone to that place where the climate forbids skating?"
55510Has he made his will?"
55510Has he----?"
55510Has that beast spoken out?"
55510Have I been deceived?
55510Have you accepted this most generous offer?"
55510Have you heard about his health lately?"
55510Have you heard from him lately?"
55510Have you met Lord Esbrook?
55510Have you met him?
55510Have you remained to make yourself disagreeable?"
55510Have you spoken to the Duke?
55510He ca n''t be cruel to any one, so they say-- ah, they say, they say; but how do I know?
55510He is n''t in your debt, then?"
55510He paused, then questioned suddenly,"You love Paul Petrovitch?"
55510He went to St. Petersburg, did n''t he?
55510Honestly now, could those Gospel miracles occur in this twentieth century?"
55510How can it be done?"
55510How can you?"
55510How could I possibly know that M. Aksakoff was using me as his tool?
55510How did you transfer Garth''s body to Jamaica?"
55510How do you like the Firmingham vicarage, Joan?"
55510How is Katinka?"
55510How is it that no man can stir me into experience of the grand passion?"
55510How many women would take this scandalous matter as quietly as I do?"
55510How much had he gathered?
55510How much have you got out of the Duke?"
55510How old is that man?"
55510How was she to know that Helfmann was a police spy, or that the letter assuring her of the doctor''s intended return to Russia had been deftly forged?
55510Hulloa, who is this?"
55510I always call, in spite of your-- your-- what shall we say?"
55510I could not do less than ask him to luncheon, could I?"
55510I do n''t see Miss-- what''s her name?"
55510I have nothing to do, and-- Joan, where are you going?"
55510I make it for you-- for you; yes, do you not understand?"
55510I might inquire with the Apostles, and I do inquire, with all curiosity,''Who then can be saved?''"
55510I presume you desire to speak of this gentleman?"
55510I suppose it was an accident?"
55510I wonder what made him ill?"
55510I would rather read about the naughty woman-- Miss-- what''s- her- name?"
55510If I eloped with you, what respect could you have for me?
55510If I had come down to howl about the house, where would you have been?"
55510If you have done nothing wrong, how can I drive you into the corner you speak of?"
55510Is Joan quite well?"
55510Is he aware of the amount?"
55510Is it not so?"
55510Is it really true?"
55510Is it to be Lola Fajardo, or myself?"
55510Is n''t Frith jealous?"
55510Is n''t he charming-- a D''Orsay of the cradle, Brummel in embryo?
55510Is n''t that eyebrow a little crooked, Billy?"
55510Is n''t this praise a trifle obvious?
55510Is n''t this rather Lindley- Murray whispering?"
55510Is that not noble?"
55510Is this what you have come to see me about?"
55510It seems we are immortal, then?"
55510It would please her, perhaps?"
55510Jim?
55510Leah, if you can not bear your punishment in the flesh, how will you endure it in the spirit?
55510Live for Christ, and what matters the world?"
55510Lola-- what''s her name?"
55510May I ask a few needful questions?"
55510May I ask the reason for this sudden devotion?"
55510Mind some light?"
55510Money?"
55510Most improper, is n''t it, when Berring----?"
55510Mr. Askew-- M. Aksakoff-- what it the matter?
55510Must you really go, Mr. Askew?
55510Next Thursday?"
55510No doubt"--she spoke meaningly--"you will wish to speak to him privately?"
55510No?
55510Not bad- lookin'', is she?
55510Not even Harry?"
55510Now I come to you----""To ask me not to prosecute?"
55510Now then, Duchess"--Mr. Hall threw himself back in his chair, and flung open his frock- coat--"is that not pre-- pos-- ter-- ous?"
55510Now, am I to blame?"
55510Of course, it is disagreeable, but what is one to do in such straits?"
55510Oh yes, that horrid little man with the waxed moustache: a doctor or a chemist, was n''t he?"
55510Oh,"she cried almost fiercely,"ca n''t you understand?"
55510Penworthy?"
55510Perhaps Solomon wrote it for married women; he had some experience of them, had n''t he?
55510Petersburg?"
55510Pray, what chance have I had of being otherwise?
55510Pschutt"--he snapped his fingers--"what care I for that English pig, your husband?
55510Said one ghost to the other:"But have you-- are you a----?"
55510Shall I come with you, Jim?"
55510Shall I see you in London?"
55510Shall we follow, Lady Jim?"
55510Shall we return?"
55510Shall we return?"
55510She as a married woman, and he as an engaged man, could platonise to any extent; but he free, and she shortly to be a widow-- what then?
55510She could renounce, with ease: had she not refused a large sum of money because she felt that it was wrong to take it?
55510She hinted back with sweet smiles,"Do n''t you prefer a quiet wedding?"
55510She lured him to Paris, then?"
55510She nodded a"How d''y do?"
55510Shocking, is n''t it, seeing that I scarcely know how to pose as a widow?"
55510Sittin''in the twilight an''talkin''secrets-- eh?
55510So you lost?"
55510Something about a sunset, was n''t it?"
55510Still, as a peacemaker----""You put me into the Beatitudes, then?"
55510Such a cockney place, is n''t it?
55510The butler intimated that Lady Frith wept incessantly in her boudoir, and that the Duke----"What?"
55510The serpent in the bamboo-- eh, Jim?"
55510Then she crossed her legs, rested her muff on her knee, and protested,"I ca n''t wait here much longer----""On account of French?"
55510Then she finished, with a nervous titter,"Pleasant for me, is n''t it?"
55510Then there''s something improper in the matter?"
55510Then we can get back-- oh, about what time?"
55510Then we_ do_ go to Bayswater?"
55510Then you are not certain?"
55510Then you mean to----""Carry you away?
55510Then, dropping her voice,"Paris?"
55510Then, when she nodded,"My ignorance of your language----""Or of my feelings?
55510There is, then"--the hint was delicate--"another?"
55510Thirty thousand pounds?"
55510Tired?
55510To soil your soul anew?"
55510Twenty thousand pounds-- eh?"
55510Very dull, was n''t it?"
55510Was Demetrius-- was she-- guilty of----?
55510Was not sauce for the gander sauce for the goose also?
55510Was the cultus of the matrimonial god worth such encumbrances?
55510Was there ever such a trying woman?
55510Well, have you married him?"
55510Well,"Lady Richardson put her head on one side like a coaxing cock- robin,"are you coming with Billy and me?
55510Well-- what now?"
55510Well?
55510Well?"
55510Well?"
55510Well?"
55510Well?"
55510Well?"
55510Well?"
55510Well?"
55510Were you Cupid''s messenger, madame?"
55510What about my particular lord?
55510What about the money-- my share?"
55510What better can a poor woman do than imitate the lords of creation?
55510What can you say that is likely to do me good?"
55510What could Frith possibly have to say about the prime mover in the plot?
55510What could he possibly know of her late experience?
55510What could one do with such a whirlwind woman?
55510What could she do?
55510What could you or any man do against me?"
55510What did the Duke mean by taking_ their_ money?
55510What do you expect?"
55510What do you take me for?
55510What do you want?"
55510What does it matter?
55510What does it matter?"
55510What else could he expect?
55510What else have I been doing for the past three weeks?"
55510What for?
55510What good point of Mrs. Penworthy''s have I annexed?"
55510What had she done, that they should be so disagreeable?
55510What had she said?
55510What have you been doing with yourself?"
55510What is it about?"
55510What is it now?"
55510What is it?"
55510What is it?"
55510What is the matter, madame?"
55510What is the use of pretending to be goody- goody, when you are not?"
55510What is the use of talking nursery theology and cheap science to me?
55510What is to be done?
55510What made her call at so late an hour?"
55510What more would you have?"
55510What observer, casual or close, would have recognised in this eager- eyed and sparkling girl the timid companion of Lady Canvey?
55510What of him?
55510What of him?"
55510What of it?"
55510What say?"
55510What then?"
55510What was to be done?
55510What will the next generation be?"
55510What would Freddy say?"
55510What would M. le Marquis say if I confessed that I delayed so long to pay a debt of honour?"
55510What''s Demetrius doin''here?"
55510What''s he doin''in that roost?"
55510What''s she doing here?"
55510What-- what?"
55510What?
55510When I have a husband,"she smiled meaningly,"do you think he will sanction Mr. Berring rowing in the boat you mention?"
55510When did the change come?"
55510When did you last hear from Señorita Fajardo?"
55510When did you look at your watch?"
55510When do you sail?"
55510When does this ship of yours go south?"
55510Where do these Americans pick up their adjectives?"
55510Where is it, I ask-- where?"
55510Where is your father?"
55510Where was he?
55510Who am I, to claim that the Lord should select me to reveal His strength unto men?
55510Who bothers about such things nowadays?
55510Who do we meet at Firmingham?"
55510Who else, Leah?"
55510Who said so?"
55510Who would have guessed at a brain hidden in this ponderous mass of adipose?
55510Why a boy particularly?"
55510Why could n''t conscience quit worrying?
55510Why could n''t he leave that infected beast to die in Siberia?
55510Why could n''t you leave me alone?
55510Why could n''t you stick to the man whose name you bear?
55510Why did he not bring you back?"
55510Why did n''t you try that new sedative Demetrius gave you?"
55510Why did she throw you over and marry Mr.--er-- Berring?"
55510Why do n''t you feed?"
55510Why do n''t you leave the Church and go in for Parliament?"
55510Why do you allow jealousy to overrule common sense, when the position is so plain?
55510Why do you ask?"
55510Why do you come here to prate of miracles, when you know in your own heart that such things never were and never can be?"
55510Why do you not say damn, as I feel inclined to do?"
55510Why had he not come also?
55510Why has the Duke put him in the bill?"
55510Why not be frank with me?"
55510Why not forget Demetrius?"
55510Why not try it?"
55510Why not turn over a new leaf?"
55510Why should I?
55510Why should I?"
55510Why should he be a beast with women, and she a vestal with men?
55510Why should he go off suddenly?"
55510Why should he?"
55510Why should she bore herself with a spent octogenarian, whose sole attraction was the possession of money, with which she declined to part?
55510Why should you think so?"
55510Why was n''t there an accident on the line?"
55510Why, then, do you come here on a fool''s errand?"
55510Why, then, should I demand a sacrifice on your part, to restore that which I personally do not regret?"
55510Why?"
55510Why?"
55510Will you be ready for your first lesson early next week?"
55510Will you come and help us to entertain them, Lady James?"
55510Will you explain further, madame?"
55510Will you marry him?"
55510Will you oblige me by taking a message?"
55510Will you please look for it?"
55510Will you ring the bell, please?
55510Will you take me?"
55510Wo n''t you be seated?"
55510Wo n''t you come too, Leah, to brighten Billy up?
55510Would Captain Strange, after consulting a lawyer, still hold to his nefarious bargain?
55510Would I permit that, if----?
55510Would I put up with all this, else?
55510Would Julia mind?"
55510Would a particular costume arrive at a certain hour?
55510Would he never smile?
55510Would he never unbend?
55510Would his laudation of the dead, she wondered, change to criticism of the living, did he learn the truth?
55510Would nothing make her serious?
55510Would nothing touch her heart?
55510Would some very doubtful stock which she held turn honest?
55510Would you like to hear how I define love?"
55510Would you like to----?"
55510Would you mind opening the window?"
55510Would you mind telling me plainly, before we part, why you sought this interview?"
55510Yes?"
55510Yet, could he, could any man, love this chilly, self- centered Englishwoman?
55510You accuse me of being mixed up in a conspiracy?"
55510You are sure all is safe-- sure?"
55510You do n''t mean it, do you?"
55510You do n''t say so?"
55510You have never driven Mademoiselle Aksakoff, then?"
55510You know Lady James Kaimes?"
55510You see that I do not mince matters; I speak plainly, do I not?
55510You will come?"
55510You will give me your word that M. Demetrius will not be lured to Paris?"
55510You would n''t have me scratch and bite, would you?"
55510You would not like to see me divorced, Harry?"
55510You-- want-- me-- to-- read?"
55510Your Anglican priests, like our Greek popes, have that freedom, have they not?"
55510Youth, health, money, charm, loveliness-- with these desirable blessings at her command, what else could she want?
55510asked Leah, overhearing the names;"the Russian man?"
55510he cried passionately;"to whom can you go but to God?
55510he cried;"you do n''t love me?"
55510queried Leah, sharply, adding more grammatically,"Who?"
55510said Lady Jim, with a sharp glance;"but why----?"
55510she asked, coming lightly towards him:"any news?"
55510thought Lady Jim, with a charming smile, meaning nothing,"am I to be bored with another Arthur?"
55510was her whispered argument--"always-- always; why ca n''t I have it now?
55510what''s the use of acting to empty benches?
55510what?
55510what?"
55510with a sentimental sigh;"what have I done to be so doubted?"
55510womanly!--does that imply ca nt and shams?
9807A reward for information is to be offered, is n''t it?
9807About this sale of the estate, you know? 9807 Ah!--but which is master and which is man?"
9807All the same, you''ll come?
9807All the same,observed Mr. Dennie, imperturbably,"if this young man had not been in existence, this child would have succeeded, eh?"
9807Alone?
9807An impostor?
9807And do you mean to tell me that you did n''t see me last year in_ The Clever Lady Hartletop?_she exclaimed.
9807And do you suppose that whoever saw Marston Greyle at Falmouth cared two pins-- comparatively-- what became of him after he left there? 9807 And he''ll do-- what?"
9807And if it is-- why?
9807And never had any right to-- anything?
9807And put another name on a bit of a tombstone-- six months afterwards, what?
9807And that your cousin would let him?
9807And the cases have been examined?
9807And the crew?
9807And the men?
9807And then?
9807And then?
9807And they were-- what?
9807And what do you want to see me about?
9807And what the dickens may that be to do with you?
9807And what then?
9807And what,said Mr. Dennie, softly,"what-- er, does our good friend Mr. Copplestone say?"
9807And when did you come down home, Addie?
9807And when?
9807And where are we?
9807And where did you go when you left the place?
9807And where would you find money to take summonses out?
9807And where''s that road you told us about?
9807And who may you be to walk aboard my vessel without leave?
9807And whom am I going to drink with, may I ask?
9807And yet it''s twenty- five years since we met, is n''t it?
9807And you left the stage-- for this?
9807And you think--?
9807And-- as regards that-- what''s to be done next?
9807And-- is it dangerous out there?
9807Are they Scarhaven men?
9807Are they particularly so?
9807Are those his orders?
9807Are you a member of his company?
9807Are you a member?
9807Are you coming, Audrey?
9807Are you going to stay in this place?
9807Are you going to the post- office?
9807Are you suggesting anything?
9807Are you the captain of this vessel?
9807Are you the gentlemen as is asking after another gentleman?
9807As to what, now?
9807Been with him-- how long, Hackett?
9807But I knew you at once-- I was wondering if you remembered me?
9807But in that case-- the money?
9807But look here-- won''t you trust me? 9807 But the others?"
9807But what are you doing here-- boss, eh?
9807But what do you think?
9807But what harm can they do us?
9807But why this sudden politeness?
9807But why you?
9807But,he continued, dropping his bantering tone,"are these questions pertinent?--has this to do with this new profession of yours, dear boy?
9807But-- about what?
9807But-- don''t you think we folk of the profession are a little bit apt to magnify our own importance? 9807 But-- mayn''t I know why-- and in what capacity?"
9807Chatfield, what have you been saying? 9807 Come now, all of you, what''s the good of being so down on an old man who, after all has n''t got so very long to live?
9807Come now, he put you ashore before he sent us off, did n''t he? 9807 Come now-- hadn''t you better tell?"
9807Come, now, between ourselves?
9807Coming round this parapet?
9807Could n''t he see that what I meant was that Oliver must either have been mistaken, or have referred to some other Greyle whom he met? 9807 Days?"
9807Did Lord Altmore say if any reason had been given him as to why Mr. Greyle wished to sell?
9807Did Lord Altmore say when this offer was made to him?
9807Did he go off on the tender next night?
9807Did he say anything about his own movements yesterday?
9807Did he tell you that he was going anywhere?
9807Did he, now? 9807 Did n''t I say that during this last week or two I''d had my suspicions about the Squire?"
9807Did n''t you see any name on the coffin?
9807Did they bury him here, then?
9807Did they give you any address, either of them?
9807Did they go?
9807Did you say, sir?
9807Did you see Addie Chatfield when she was here about a year ago?
9807Did you see him again?
9807Did you think it was the man we know as the Squire?
9807Do n''t you think, Petherton, that we had better get a clear notion of our exact bearings?
9807Do n''t you?
9807Do you consider this here a matter of murder?
9807Do you know the Fragonard Club?
9807Do you know what you are rendering yourself liable to, sir, by detaining us at all?
9807Do you know what?
9807Do you know where this place is? 9807 Do you know?"
9807Do you like the young man?
9807Do you really think-- that?
9807Do you see? 9807 Do you think that will do much good?"
9807Do you think your man will have tracked him?
9807Does Lord Altmore want to buy?
9807Does it need much observation?
9807Does n''t much matter if you write your plays in Jermyn Street or-- anywhere else, eh?
9807Does the present Greyle want to buy?
9807Does your cousin know of that?
9807Ever known Mr. Oliver late like this?
9807Ever see that old chap again?
9807Friend of yours?
9807Good heavens, man, what do you mean?
9807Had n''t we better fetch them?
9807Had n''t we better go up the beach and see if we ca n''t find some shelter until morning? 9807 Has anybody anything to tell?"
9807Have you been over there?
9807Have you pulled me down here to ask that?
9807Have you seen Mrs. or Miss Greyle since the inquest?
9807He must have had some reason?
9807He''s in the town, of course?
9807He-- you wo n''t mind my asking?
9807Here-- shall I come with you?
9807Here?
9807Here?
9807How are we to get that?
9807How are yer, Jim? 9807 How are you going to set about it?"
9807How did you come in then?
9807How did you get it there-- unseen?
9807How did you know him?
9807How do we even know that they ever came to Bristol?
9807How do we know?
9807How do you do? 9807 How do you mean-- all right?"
9807How do you mean-- off?
9807How does this relate to my brother''s death? 9807 How far is it to this Reaver''s Glen-- or, rather to that peel tower?"
9807How-- a clever scheme?
9807How?
9807I do n''t know if you notice that Greyle is n''t here?
9807I hope you do n''t think me interfering? 9807 I suppose it''s all up with the poor gentleman; of course?
9807I suppose membership of that''s confined to the profession, eh?
9807I suppose we''ll have to travel all night?
9807I suppose you are one of Mr. Oliver''s company?
9807I suppose you are the landlady-- Mrs. Wooler? 9807 I take it,"he said,"that you are a young gentleman of leisure, and that you can abide wherever you like, eh?"
9807I think I heard you say that you knew Mr. Bassett Oliver?
9807I think you suspect this man?
9807I think, Sir Cresswell-- eh?
9807I thought you were to keep him in sight?
9807I understand that you are an actress?
9807I was n''t going to ask questions in there, but-- what''s going to be done about this Oliver affair? 9807 I wonder if I''ve ever seen you anywhere?"
9807I wonder if you can give me some information?
9807I wonder what we''re on the way to?
9807I?
9807If he should turn up here,''phone to Waters at the Northborough theatre, wo n''t you?
9807Is he concerned about this?
9807Is he here? 9807 Is he more friendly with the mother and daughter than the last Squire was?"
9807Is he rather-- touchy?
9807Is it any use taking them any other way?
9807Is it pretty bare and bleak at this tower of yours, Spurge?
9807Is n''t it more pertinent to speculate on where she''ll be when we want to find her?
9807Is that really Chatfield''s signature?
9807Is that the truth-- the real truth?
9807Is this a farce?
9807It''s blood- curdling?
9807It''s on the mainland, of course?
9807May I ask a question?
9807Mind holding it?
9807Miss Greyle? 9807 Mr. Bassett Oliver?"
9807Mr. Greyle says will you go forward, sir?
9807Never back, eh?
9807No possible flaw in it?
9807Not Norcaster? 9807 Not a common name, is it?
9807Now I wonder whatever my father wanted to see you about?
9807Now, where is he?
9807Now, why?
9807Oh!--will that have to be held? 9807 Oh?"
9807Oh?
9807Oh?
9807On what grounds, sir?
9807Part? 9807 Perhaps you''ll be kind enough to accompany us?"
9807Precisely what are you here for? 9807 Queer, ai n''t it?"
9807Really, now? 9807 Right?
9807Safely?
9807Said he knew me-- in America?
9807Seeing that she''s here in Norcaster and in touch with those two, what else can I think?
9807Shall I be wanted?
9807Shall I suggest something that sounds very material, though? 9807 Shall you sleep?"
9807Skipper o''this craft?
9807So that''s it, is it, Chatfield? 9807 So there was no news of him last night?"
9807So-- there was a game?
9807So-- today''s our own, eh? 9807 So-- you''re a writer?"
9807Somebody want me?
9807Something happened?
9807Spurge, where is that stuff hidden?
9807Supposing I escort you homeward instead-- now?
9807That gentleman came to meet the other, did he? 9807 That''s queer, is n''t it?
9807That''s-- the truth?
9807The gold''s gone, of course?
9807The landlady is a nice, motherly person; she gave me a very well- cooked lunch; this is a quiet room in which to do your writing, eh?
9807The moor road?
9807The next thing is-- was it accidental?
9807The thing is-- will he keep his promise? 9807 Then this young lady,"he said,"is next heir to the Greyle estates, eh?
9807Then you''ve practically been travelling all night?
9807Then-- what might you be here for, mister?
9807There''s nothing wrong-- with you or your mother-- personally, I mean? 9807 There''s something there called the Devil''s Spout?"
9807They brought a sick man here?
9807They suspect him?
9807They went away together, those two?
9807To whom?
9807Upstairs, now?
9807Was there an inquest then,inquired Gilling?"
9807Well, but ai n''t we got something to show fight with, too?
9807Well, off the point beneath that, there''s a group of rocks-- you''d perhaps noticed them as you came down from the station? 9807 Well,"he said,"and what have you called on me about?"
9807Well-- but what happened next? 9807 Well-- what next?"
9807Well?
9807Well?
9807Well?
9807Well?
9807Well?
9807Well?
9807Well?
9807Well?
9807Well?
9807Were you present?
9807What I was asking of was-- what might you consider?
9807What about his brother?
9807What about the other news we brought you?
9807What about upstairs?
9807What are you after, Chatfield?
9807What do people here think about it?
9807What do you think about this extraordinary story of Bassett Oliver''s having met a Marston Greyle over there in America?
9807What do you think?
9807What do you think?
9807What does Mr. Marston Greyle find to do with himself in this place?
9807What does that mean?
9807What does your human nature-- which I''m sure is not wicked, say?
9807What have you got?
9807What is going to be done?
9807What is it?
9807What is it?
9807What is it?
9807What is the present object?
9807What makes you think that?
9807What now?
9807What of it?
9807What of this?
9807What on earth does it all mean? 9807 What on earth is it all about?"
9807What on earth''s that represent?
9807What ought to be done, Haskett?
9807What part did you play?
9807What shall you do?
9807What sort were they, and where are they?
9807What terms?
9807What then?
9807What then?
9807What was it?
9807What''s all this?
9807What''s going on there?
9807What''s going to be done?
9807What''s happened?
9807What''s he after?
9807What''s he so meticulously correct for?
9807What''s the Fragonard Club?
9807What''s the fellow mean about no vessel passing here for two more days?
9807What''s the matter? 9807 What''s this bit of news you''ve got to tell?"
9807What''s this new mystery?
9807What''s this, what''s all this?
9807What''s to be done, then?
9807What?
9807What?
9807When-- and where?
9807Where are you taking this yacht?
9807Where are your powers of deduction? 9807 Where is your father?"
9807Where was the wire sent from?
9807Where?
9807Where?
9807Whose notion was it that he might be found here?
9807Whose orders?
9807Why did n''t you bring somebody else with you, to follow the man and the luggage?
9807Why do n''t you mind what you''re saying? 9807 Why not hear it?"
9807Why not? 9807 Why should he object to my visiting the Keep?"
9807Why suspiciously?
9807Why this profession of eager willingness to welcome any inquiry that might be made? 9807 Why watch him particularly?"
9807Why, mother?
9807Why, now?
9807Why?
9807Why?
9807Will you come here, Audrey?
9807Will you come in and speak to my mother?
9807Will you come in?
9807Will you kindly step this way, Miss Greyle and gentlemen?
9807Will you?
9807Wo n''t it be a bit previous? 9807 Wo n''t they be rather running their necks into a noose?"
9807Would Chatfield know that?
9807Would n''t it be enough if you and I went?
9807Would you be for having him in? 9807 Yes, Mr. Chatfield, what has the_ Pike_ come back for?"
9807Yes?
9807Yes?
9807You are? 9807 You did n''t see anything of him yesterday, here?"
9807You did?
9807You do n''t know what, Spurge? 9807 You do n''t mean to say you''ve actually been kidnapped?"
9807You do n''t mean to tell me that three people-- one a woman-- could get away through these courts and alleys, packed as they are, without being seen? 9807 You do n''t say, guv''nor?
9807You do, eh?
9807You gentlemen will excuse both of us for a few minutes?
9807You got any?
9807You have n''t made up your own mind, surely?
9807You keep a sort of register of lodgings do n''t you, Prickett? 9807 You mean Mr. Oliver, the actor?"
9807You never heard anything?
9807You never met him in America?
9807You remember that afternoon of our return from Bristol, Copplestone? 9807 You remember that day of the inquest on the actor gentleman, guv''nor?
9807You saw no one else about there that afternoon?
9807You say the inquest will be held tomorrow?
9807You sent me that note last night?
9807You think he might have been-- what?--thrown down?
9807You think he was then likely to die suddenly?
9807You think it wise?
9807You think she was the woman whose footprints you saw up there at the Beaver''s Glen?
9807You think there is somebody on the_ Pike_--somebody other than Andrius?
9807You think there''s no doubt that gold was removed this morning by Chatfield''s daughter?
9807You think, Petherton-- yes?
9807You wo n''t tell us what this place is?
9807You''ll not refuse a poor man''s hospitality, guv''nor?
9807You''re all right?
9807You''re frightened of him?
9807You''re quite a business man-- an unusual thing in authors, is n''t it? 9807 You''re sure of that?--Bristol?"
9807You''re the chap who sent me that letter? 9807 You''ve found him, then, sir?"
9807You''ve got-- that gold?
9807You''ve had cases of disappearance to deal with before, eh?
9807You''ve heard of Lord Altmore, have n''t you?
9807You''ve heard that, have you? 9807 You''ve met him?"
9807''And who may the Squire be?''
9807''Cause why?
9807''Well,''said he,''read it and let me know what you think-- will it suit me?''
9807Ah, well, Northborough''s a port, too, is n''t it?"
9807All the same, you do n''t look like a writer-- what does he look like, Mrs. Wooler?
9807Am I right?"
9807An appointment, you say?"
9807And I say?"
9807And anyway,"she continued, looking from one to the other,"had n''t we better make the best of it?
9807And did not he and Gilling know that she had been mixed up with Peter at the Bristol affair?
9807And first of all-- is Mr. Marston Greyle present in this room?"
9807And he himself was already committed to play in it-- but what part?
9807And if so, why?
9807And if they can only be laid hands on-- What is it?"
9807And in that case,"continued Mrs. Greyle, looking earnestly from one to the other,"in that case-- who is the man now at Scarhaven Keep?"
9807And it was rather a surprise to hear that Oliver had known some man of your cousin''s name over there in America, was n''t it?"
9807And now the thing is-- how are things?"
9807And now-- is Mr. Copplestone to punish him or-- will you?"
9807And now-- we know he came here-- what we next want to know is, what he did when he got here?"
9807And now-- what is to be done?
9807And so there was I, d''ye see, Mr. Copplestone, left, as it were, sold guardian of-- what?"
9807And so-- as I''ve made things plain-- how''s this matter going so far?"
9807And what are we going to do?"
9807And what might be the partiklar''natur''o''them warrants?"
9807And what will you take, dear boys, and how are things with you, Gilling, old man-- now who on earth would have thought of seeing you here?"
9807And who''s robbed and maltreated you-- and how and when-- especially when-- did you come here?"
9807And-- supposing they did find something-- supposing they found Bassett Oliver''s body-- What is it?"
9807And--""And-- what?"
9807Anyhow-- did he come to your house yesterday afternoon as this man suggests?"
9807Are n''t you, now?"
9807Are you ill?"
9807Are you?"
9807Audrey, what is it?
9807Better go back and get help, eh?"
9807But we must remember that to some people even a famous actor is of no more importance than-- shall we say a respectable grocer?
9807But we''d better wait until the doctor comes, had n''t we?
9807But what did it amount to?
9807But what''s to be done there?"
9807But what?
9807But where?
9807But why?--why so much anxiety if they knew nothing whatever about Bassett Oliver''s strange disappearance?
9807But, between you and me-- what do you mean when you say that you do n''t see why you and Miss Greyle should n''t come to terms?"
9807But, in that case, what of Copplestone''s revelation about the Falmouth and Bristol affair and the dead man?
9807But-- if he''s dead, who''s engineering all this?
9807But-- is not the estate entailed?"
9807But-- the other one, eh?
9807But-- where you will be in touch with-- shall we say civilization?"
9807But-- who?
9807But-- why shall you come back?"
9807By the- bye-- this young Squire-- he''s your relation, of course?"
9807By- the- bye, have you told this to anybody?"
9807Came here, and has disappeared, you say?
9807Can anybody tell anything about him-- anything at all?
9807Can it be done?
9807Can you give information of that sort?"
9807Chatfield?"
9807Chatfield?"
9807Chatfield?"
9807Come, now?"
9807Come, now?"
9807Copplestone?"
9807Copplestone?"
9807Copplestone?"
9807Copplestone?"
9807Copplestone?"
9807Copplestone?"
9807Could he have got out there across those sands, yesterday afternoon?"
9807D''ye think that''ll be the same gentleman, now?"
9807D''you think as how a Scarhaven jury''s going to say aught agen its own Squire and landlord?
9807Dennie?"
9807Dennie?"
9807Did Chatfield know of any place at that point visited by fishing craft from the other islands?
9807Did you hear anything?"
9807Did you meet anybody of the Squire''s name there?"
9807Did you see anything, or hear anything of him?"
9807Did you see him yesterday?"
9807Did you see the deceased Bassett Oliver on Sunday last?"
9807Do n''t this here river, running into the free and bounding ocean six miles away, offer the best chance?
9807Do you follow me?"
9807Do you know what that is, either of you?
9807Do you live in town?"
9807Do you see the value of these points?
9807Done?
9807Eh?"
9807Eh?"
9807Five hundred years, you say?
9807Foul play?
9807Foul play?--that''s what you do n''t know, eh, inspector?"
9807Gilling?"
9807Good doctrine, that, anyway-- isn''t it, Sir Cresswell?"
9807Good- night, Mr. Copplestone-- and perhaps you''ll so far overcome your repugnance to the theatre as to come and see me in one some day?"
9807Greyle''s-- eh?"
9807Greyle?"
9807Greyle?"
9807Greyle?"
9807Guv''nor!--I reckon that''ud be the last time as he was seen alive!--unless-- unless--""Unless-- what?"
9807Had Chatfield ever been in the Orkneys before?
9807Had n''t you better give me your confidence?
9807Had n''t you better turn?"
9807Had the estate agent come there to tell him that?
9807Has anybody any idea of any project, any excursion, that he had in mind?"
9807Has he done this on his own hook, or-- is there somebody on board who''s at the top of things?"
9807Have they said more to you?"
9807Have you been to the police- station?"
9807Have you ever met the deceased man in your life?"
9807Have you looked at it?''
9807He said--""Is it worth while, mother?"
9807How do you get up there?''
9807I suppose we may go up the tower?"
9807I suppose you''d have told Miss Greyle later that these people had collared all that gold-- and then you''d have helped yourself to it?
9807I tell you my father accepted that story-- why?
9807I wonder what the last Squire of Scarhaven would have said to a proposition like that?
9807I wonder what the message is?"
9807If he did--""Well?"
9807If it was-- why?
9807In fact, he is an actor-- perhaps you''ve heard of him?
9807Is he some relation of theirs?
9807Is he?"
9807Is it on the mainland, or is it an island, or where are we?
9807Is it possible there can be two persons of that name?
9807Is that it?"
9807Is that right, Chatfield?"
9807Is the man who calls himself Squire of Scarhaven here?"
9807Is the police to be in at it, then?"
9807Is there a word of truth in it?"
9807It seems to me there might be something to be said for that, you know?
9807It''s all very well talking about getting off, but when and how are we to get off?
9807Like looking for needles in a bundle of hay?
9807Like to have a look in when they have one of their nights?"
9807Listen, Chatfield!--there''s property of your own on that yacht, eh?
9807Listen-- have you a specimen-- letter-- anything-- of your cousin, the Squire''s handwriting?
9807Lone spot, ai n''t it, gentlemen?"
9807Look here!--we''ve got to think pretty quick, Copplestone, that captain, now?
9807Martin just said to me''If Bassett Oliver sees me, there''s an end to all this-- what''s to be done?''
9807Mr. Vickers certainly did what he felt to be best-- and who could foresee this?
9807Mr. Vickers?
9807Now I wonder if you found out if he was well up in the family history?"
9807Now can you tell us anything-- more than you''ve already told, I mean?"
9807Now do you understand?"
9807Now then, the next thing is, which way did that motor go with its contents?"
9807Now what sort of man was he?"
9807Now who told you that, Mr. Chatfield?
9807Now, Mr. Copplestone, will you have a word or two with me in private?"
9807Now, do you think you could manage to stay where you are for a week or two?"
9807Now, guv''nor, I ask you-- where is it possible they''d make for?
9807Now, if I help in that there work, will Miss Greyle continue me in my post of estate agent at Scarhaven?"
9807Now, if I was to tell something as I knows of, what chances should I have of getting that there money?"
9807Now, just a question or two:--Did you hear the young man''s name?"
9807Now, look here-- will you stay here for the night, so as to be on the spot?
9807Now, then-- are you going to beg Miss Greyle''s pardon, you hoary sinner?"
9807Now, what about being armed?"
9807Now, what is it?
9807Now, who is the man?
9807Now, wo n''t you please let me see you through these dark woods?"
9807Now-- what is your job?"
9807Of course,"he went on, as they moved away through the Norcaster streets,"of course, you have n''t any notion of what this urgent business is?"
9807Oliver-- personally?"
9807Oliver?"
9807Or shall I go?"
9807Or was he, too, merely examining his surroundings-- considering which was the likeliest part of the island from which to attract attention?
9807Or, maybe, it being the forepart of the day, you''d prefer ale, now?
9807Plain English, eh?"
9807Queer place for gentlemen to meet in, ai n''t it?
9807See?"
9807Shall I tell you what Lord Altmore said on that point?
9807She-- what''s that?"
9807Sleep well-- and tomorrow you are all free again, eh?"
9807So far, this was all known to them-- but what was coming?
9807So he made an appointment with you, did he-- here, today?
9807So in that case-- eh?"
9807So what could Chatfield know of him-- to have any hold?"
9807So where is he?"
9807So you''ve really been all night on that island?"
9807So-- is it any use doing what that old gentleman''s just worrying to do?
9807So-- what''s to be done?"
9807Spurge-- you''re the man who knows the spot best-- what ought we to do about getting there-- in force?"
9807Stafford?"
9807Stafford?"
9807Stand aside, will you?"
9807Suspicion?
9807Tell me-- is that right what you said to me on deck, that the man who has called himself Marston Greyle is not so at all?"
9807That Keep, now?--may one look round that?"
9807That do?"
9807That it?
9807The footprints of a woman who wore fashionable and elegant boots?
9807The''Golden Apple,''was n''t it?"
9807The_ Pike_ is, I believe, a very fast vessel?"
9807Then again at the end of the south promontory there, beyond the Keep--""Is the Keep that high square tower amongst the woods?"
9807There''s that cab still at the door, you know-- shall we run up to the station?"
9807Therefore, were there two men of the name of Marston Greyle?
9807This big, heavy- jowled man is Chatfield, of course?"
9807This gentleman is a friend of yours?"
9807To meet him there was to meet a most popular celebrity-- could any man forget it?
9807Trying to cheat everybody all round, eh?
9807Under what circumstances?"
9807Very well-- what''s the other way o''getting any stuff out o''Norcaster?
9807Vickers!--I guess you''re the quickest- footed of the lot-- will you run back to High Nick and tell that chauffeur to bring his car round here?
9807Vickers!--if, I say, I do all that, what will Miss Greyle give me?
9807Vickers?"
9807Warrants?--you say?
9807Was I going into Norcaster or anywheres about?
9807Was any marooned mariner ever one- half so well treated?"
9807Was she not old Peter''s daughter, a chip of the old block, even though a feminine chip?
9807Was there a train leaving soon for Scarhaven?
9807Was there any method in his wanderings?
9807We''d better start a big fire out o''this dry stuff--""But what about these revelations you were going to make?"
9807Well, an''what does it prove?
9807Well, but the thing then was-- where to go next?
9807Well, now, Mrs. Wooler, did you have a tall, handsome, slightly grey- haired gentleman in here to lunch yesterday-- say about one o''clock?"
9807Well, now, another question-- you got the idea that some one else was aboard the yacht?"
9807Well, now,"he went on, turning to the fisherman,"you''re dead certain about what you''ve told us?"
9807Well, then, ca n''t we go along these cliffs to some village where we can find a nice old fishing inn and get a simple lunch of some sort?"
9807Well-- don''t they know very well that Marston Greyle is under suspicion?
9807What do these people mean by carrying us out to sea?
9807What do you ask for, guv''nor?"
9807What do you suppose these people want?
9807What have they come back for?"
9807What hold can Chatfield have on your cousin?
9807What is it, I say?"
9807What is it?
9807What is this fresh news?--something about-- him?"
9807What other object can there be in taking these things away?
9807What reason could he, an utter stranger, have for taking up his quarters at the"Admiral''s Arms?"
9807What shall we do?"
9807What would happen?
9807What''s a country squire-- only recently come to England, too!--to do with the Fragonard?
9807What''s all this been?"
9807What''s the connection?
9807What''s the use of worrying?
9807What-- but you''ve got some notion in your mind?"
9807What?
9807What?"
9807What?--and has it anything to do with the Oliver mystery?"
9807When?
9807When?"
9807Where are they?
9807Where are you from, then, and when did you come in here?"
9807Where are you from?"
9807Where did they get hold of him?
9807Where did you live in America, before you succeeded to this estate?"
9807Where was Scarhaven?
9807Where''s his dresser-- where''s Hackett?"
9807Where''s the nearest point of that road you spoke of?"
9807Where''s the pirate, or whatever he is?"
9807Whereupon I asked what consideration?
9807Who are you talking to, says you?
9807Who on earth, wandering in this cemetery, would ever connect Mark Grey with Marston Greyle?"
9807Who was it, Jim?"
9807Who''s on board this vessel?
9807Whose face is, now a- peeping out o''that hatch?
9807Why do n''t you be sensible and tell us what you know?"
9807Why do n''t you let me tell you all about it and then we can be friends?"
9807Why do n''t you own up?"
9807Why do n''t you tell the truth?"
9807Why, sir, what does human nature-- which is wicked-- say?"
9807Why?
9807Why?
9807Why?"
9807Will Miss Greyle stand to that if she comes in?
9807Will it be out of keeping with your invalid pose if you run?"
9807Will you both come in and see mother?"
9807Will you give me leave, Mrs. Greyle, to report all this to Sir Cresswell Oliver and Mr. Petherton?
9807Will you tell us all about it?"
9807Wooler?"
9807Would I go for a consideration-- then and there?
9807Would n''t it be better to wait until we know more?"
9807You can tell me?"
9807You did n''t see or hear of him on your side, Audrey?"
9807You do n''t believe him?"
9807You do n''t think there is danger in Audrey going down there?"
9807You do n''t?
9807You have n''t examined one of those boxes?"
9807You have?
9807You knew Mrs. Greyle once upon a time, I think; you and your brother?"
9807You know him, then?"
9807You know how quick a man can think, guv''nor, under certain circumstances?
9807You really think this disappearance is serious?"
9807You saw him this afternoon?"
9807You saw how they cheered him after the inquest?
9807You say that Mr. Marston Greyle, the present owner of Scarhaven, has offered to sell his estate to Lord Altmore?
9807You should have kept to Chatfield''s orders--""And since when has a Greyle of Scarhaven kept to a servant''s orders?"
9807You were here then, of course, Mrs. Greyle?
9807You''ll be careful?"
9807You''ll turn straight back where you came from, miss, and in future do as I instruct-- d''ye hear that, now?"
9807You''re all right, Chatfield, are n''t you?
9807You''re all right?"
9807Your father has just been to see this gentleman, Addie-- perhaps he told you?"
9807asked Copplestone bluntly,"what if he did?"
9807exclaimed Gilling,"the night he came here?"
9807he said quietly,"so you''ve seen that?"
9807he went on, as they stepped upon the stage,"Have any of you seen Mr. Oliver, anywhere, since Saturday night?
9807how were they going to trace him?
9807muttered Spurge,"How long is it since you see-- her?"
9807said Copplestone, diffidently,"he did n''t know that you lived here?"
9807she went on, raising her voice,"can you give any help here?
9834A general power? 9834 A woman from a long way-- to see me?"
9834About Pratt, eh? 9834 Ah!--he was here in your shop at half- past eight on the evening of November 23rd last?
9834All?
9834Am I to answer-- all at once?
9834And after that?
9834And he came next morning and bought one?
9834And no fear of anybody else being about?
9834And now that you are here?
9834And pray, what would you ha''done, Mestur Stringer, if you''d been on yon jury?
9834And suppose I do n''t?
9834And that,she went on, drumming her fingers on the paper,"that-- would stand?"
9834And this letter you''re talking about-- to whom was it addressed?
9834And what if it is necessary?
9834And you never saw him again?
9834And you?
9834And your name''s what?
9834And-- and will the police give me-- now-- what they found on that woman?
9834And-- what may it be?
9834And-- what sort of business are you going to do, pray?
9834And-- what then?
9834And-- your terms?
9834Antony Bartle had written to you, had he? 9834 Any one come forward?"
9834Anything wrong?
9834Are you from where he worked?
9834Are you going to tell me anything more than that?
9834Are you going to tell me what it was that induced my mother to sign that paper you got from her the other day?
9834Are you saying that from-- experience?
9834Are you sure that you wo n''t miss all this-- greatly?
9834At once?
9834Aye-- didn''t I?
9834Been up to something?
9834Books that had belonged to Mr. John Mallathorpe, who was killed?
9834But first of all-- can you keep this secret to yourself and me? 9834 But you do n''t mean to say you''re going to have Pratt arrested-- on what you know up to now?"
9834But-- do you mean to imply that whatever message it is that he''s sent to your partner in London this morning has not been sent in good faith?
9834But-- how could that frighten her? 9834 But-- isn''t it an awful disappointment?"
9834But-- why should he do it at all?
9834But-- you''ll be coming back?
9834By Jove!--we''re only too glad to have anybody out here-- aren''t we, Nesta?
9834Ca n''t you get him interested in anything?
9834Can I have a few minutes to decide?
9834Can I say more than that it was-- a business arrangement?
9834Can it be managed?
9834Can we go into that?
9834Can you have the dog- cart ready, at the South Garden gate at three o''clock sharp? 9834 Can you show us the counterfoil in this instance?"
9834Come in for everything, does n''t he, sir?
9834D''yer think this chap''s evidence''ud be i''your line?
9834Dead?
9834Deceitful?
9834Did Parrawhite give you any idea that he was going to the house in which Pratt lodged?
9834Did Parrawhite tell you where he was going to meet Pratt?
9834Did he say any more-- make any remark?
9834Did he see that terrible affair then-- was it two years ago?
9834Did it satisfy him?
9834Did my grandfather seem at all unwell when he went out?
9834Did my mother say if she was in danger?
9834Did n''t show anything when you mentioned Murgatroyd?
9834Did n''t you give me some cash last night?
9834Did you ever ask any question of Pratt about Parrawhite?
9834Did you notice that Parrawhite is being advertised for?
9834Did you read the address?
9834Did you say no?
9834Did you see what the writing was? 9834 Did you tell Collingwood that?"
9834Did-- or does-- Pratt live near you, then?
9834Do n''t you see the newspapers?
9834Do you Barford people ever think of anything else but what you call brass?
9834Do you advise anything?
9834Do you know Mrs. Mallathorpe''s handwriting?
9834Do you know him?
9834Do you know what I think?
9834Do you know what I want to do?
9834Do you know what he did with it?
9834Do you know-- I ca n''t quite explain-- I should be glad if you were close at hand? 9834 Do you think he did n''t tell the truth about Parrawhite?"
9834Do you understand? 9834 Do you want the exact truth?"
9834Do you want to ask Mr. Pickard any questions?
9834Does any one know the terms of that will?
9834Does n''t it say there, in Mrs. Mallathorpe''s own handwriting, that she particularly desires to see me at three o''clock? 9834 Engaged?"
9834Everything''ll have to be given up?
9834Explains-- what?
9834First of all, is that maid you speak of, Esther Mawson, reliable?
9834First of all-- where''s Pratt?
9834Get tired of''em? 9834 Going to stop in Barford?"
9834Had he any legal business in process?
9834Had he anybody else?
9834Has Parrawhite come?
9834Have you any doubt of any description about the accepted story of your brother''s death? 9834 Have you any idea to what that refers?"
9834Have you any idea, any suspicion of why Pratt wanted to see your mother?
9834Have you finished?
9834Have you forgotten the mock- trial-- year before last?
9834Have you heard anything of what Stringer said just now?
9834He has been called, has he, sir?
9834He was with you for some years, I believe?
9834How came Pratt to be admitted to your mother?
9834How can I trust a man who deliberately tells me that he holds a secret and a document over a woman''s head?
9834How could that water be drained off?
9834How did he come to be there? 9834 How do things stand?
9834How do you like my little place of business?
9834How long had he been out when you heard he was dead?
9834How long was it-- after you saw the signing of those papers-- that the accident occurred?
9834How much did it cost?
9834How much do you want-- to be bought out?
9834How should I know?--how can I think?
9834How-- how did you get them? 9834 I believe you''re unaware that my mother, for some reason or other, unknown to me, has put him in charge of her affairs?"
9834I say, Pratt, do you think an inquest will be necessary?
9834I see-- Jabey for short, eh?
9834I suppose ye''d ha''wanted to know a bit more, what?
9834I suppose you held that out as a threat to her when you forced her to sign that power of attorney?
9834I take it,answered Collingwood, looking at the inquiry agent,"that Mr. Byner having heard what he has, would do that quite apart from us?"
9834I wonder if Pratt told me the truth that morning?
9834I''ve this book of forms, d''ye see? 9834 If I am asked questions-- later-- am I to say he booked in his own name?"
9834If you and I had one each, old man-- what?
9834If you would be at the inquest tomorrow, and listen carefully to everything-- and then tell me afterwards-- do you understand?
9834In what way?
9834Is Mr. Shepherd the property- owner?
9834Is it safe here?
9834Is it-- is it-- really-- the will?
9834Is she safe?
9834Is that all, then?
9834Is there aught wrong?
9834Is there no fear of anybody hearing what we may say?
9834Is there nothing that he cares about?
9834Is your mother fond of money, position-- all that sort of thing?
9834Is-- is he usually late?
9834Is-- that-- that-- another will?
9834It was a sudden affair?
9834John Mallathorpe''s?
9834Just got in from town? 9834 Just so-- and you want to see me about the advertisement in this morning''s paper?"
9834Keeping an eye on him-- you mean?
9834Let me see-- from the_ Green Man_, at Whitcliffe, I believe?
9834Letters? 9834 Madam,--If you should drive into town tomorrow, will you kindly give me a call?
9834Mr. John Mallathorpe was killed on the spot, I believe?
9834No forgery of your name or anything?
9834No hunting, shooting, fishing?
9834Nor when you spoke of the twenty thousand pounds?
9834Not all?
9834Not if I make it worth your while?
9834Nothing as to-- why he wanted to see you?
9834Nothing more?
9834Nothing particular before half- past four, eh? 9834 Now that you''ve stuck your foot in it, what do my terms matter?"
9834Now then-- are we going to let anybody else know what we''re after-- Mr. Eldrick or Mr. Collingwood, for instance? 9834 Now what line might that be by?"
9834Now, Mr. Eldrick,he said, leaning close to the solicitor,"between ourselves, do you know what I''m going to do-- next-- which means at once?"
9834Now, how do you know-- for a certainty-- that this day you''re going to talk about was the twenty- third of November?
9834Now-- for the present, Miss Mallathorpe,--you are, I suppose, going back home?
9834Oh?
9834One of your rare books, Mr. Bartle? 9834 Papers belonging to the late Mr. John Mallathorpe?
9834Pratt?
9834Queer, was n''t it? 9834 Quiet''s the word-- what?
9834Reight stuff that, mister-- what?
9834So you were Mr. Bartle''s assistant, eh?
9834So you''re a thief?
9834So your husband is at Mallathorpe''s Mill, eh?
9834Still busy?
9834Suppose I tell Eldrick tomorrow morning of what you''ve told me?
9834Suppose Parrawhite turns up?
9834Tell me-- what''s done when you book anybody like that? 9834 That butler man, for instance?
9834That''s all Murgatroyd could tell?
9834That,said Prydale,"would be on the 23rd?"
9834The duplicate?
9834The effect of that?
9834Then why did n''t he go t''nearest way to t''house t''''liver''em?
9834Then,asked Nesta quietly, as she made a peremptory sign to her mother to be silent,"we-- never had any right to be here-- at all?"
9834Then,replied Nesta, after a moment''s reflection,"you do think that my mother was very anxious to get that document-- a will-- from Pratt?"
9834Then-- there is nothing to be done until I get your answer to this-- your application?
9834Then-- you''d leave London?
9834Then-- you''re going to marry me?
9834There!--what did I tell you?
9834These what he took out?
9834This Mr. Shepherd''ll make no objection, I suppose?
9834Time?
9834To India, eh? 9834 To do with me?"
9834To that extent?
9834To what-- to whom-- what do you mean?
9834Was he reading this paper that you speak of?
9834Was it soon afterwards that Mr. Bartle went out?
9834We-- should lose all?
9834Well, now, can you show me this Stubbs''Lane and the neighbourhood?
9834Well-- and this_ History of Barford_? 9834 Well-- and what of it?"
9834Well-- what?
9834Well?
9834Well?
9834Well?
9834Well?
9834Well?
9834Well?
9834Well?
9834Well?
9834What about it-- now?
9834What am I to do with his bits of things, mister, if he does n''t come back?
9834What are people talking about?
9834What are these for?
9834What are you going to do there?
9834What are you talking about?
9834What can I do?
9834What can you get?
9834What did he pay for it in?
9834What did he want?
9834What did them fellows want?
9834What did they find, then, Mestur Stringer?
9834What do I know of John Mallathorpe''s will? 9834 What do you mean?"
9834What do you suppose its terms to be?
9834What do you think? 9834 What do you want me to do-- exactly?"
9834What do you want to know?
9834What do you want?
9834What do you wish me to do?
9834What does that mean-- that term''back- end''?
9834What else did happen or could happen nor what were testified to?
9834What had he been doing during the afternoon? 9834 What impression did you get-- altogether?"
9834What is a crowner''s quest, anyway? 9834 What is it?
9834What is it?
9834What is it?
9834What is it?
9834What is it?
9834What is it?
9834What is the worst of it?
9834What is there, beside the house and this park?
9834What more can I tell?
9834What now?
9834What now?
9834What on earth has that clerk of yours, Pratt, got to do with Mrs. Mallathorpe? 9834 What right have you to come here, making trouble for folk that''s got plenty already?
9834What some folks call autumn, d''ye understand? 9834 What sort of talk?"
9834What sort of wine?
9834What steps are you taking?
9834What the devil do we care whether any such passenger went or not? 9834 What the devil has that to do with it?"
9834What time do you think it''ll be?
9834What time in the evening?
9834What time, now, on the 23rd?
9834What was Pratt doing there?
9834What were you going in for?
9834What wor it?
9834What would it be-- curtly?
9834What''s all this?
9834What''s he wanted for?
9834What''s the good of going into that?
9834What''s the good?
9834What''s the matter? 9834 What''s the system?"
9834What''s the use of denying it? 9834 What-- of the Mallathorpe family?"
9834What-- what does it-- say?
9834What?
9834What?
9834What?
9834What?
9834When do you say you told Mrs. Mallathorpe all that?
9834When might you be thinkin''o''doin''t''job, like?
9834When shall we have the pleasure of seeing you again, sir?
9834When you do come back,she went on, a little hurriedly,"will you come and see us again?
9834Where are your brains, man? 9834 Where have you seen me?"
9834Where is he to be found?
9834Where is he?
9834Where is it?
9834Where is-- he?
9834Where?
9834Who can she be?
9834Who is Murgatroyd? 9834 Who is he, Dickenson?"
9834Who is she?
9834Who on earth can contradict you? 9834 Who was or is-- this man you''re talking of?"
9834Who was that other man with Prydale?
9834Who''s after him, now?
9834Why not, then?
9834Why should n''t I?
9834Why that particularly?
9834Why unfortunately?
9834Why, ye do n''t suspect him of owt, do yer, Mestur Stringer?
9834Why,inquired somebody, at last,"what about Mrs. Mallathorpe and t''affair?
9834Why-- who''s advertising for him?
9834Why? 9834 Why?"
9834Why?
9834Will they?
9834Will you come in, sir?
9834Will you come with me and speak to my mother?
9834Will you finish your story, if you please?
9834Will you gentlemen allow me to suggest something?
9834Will you tell me something-- straight out?
9834Will-- will they make me give up-- what we''ve-- saved?
9834Without saying anything further?
9834Would a hundred pounds be any use to you?
9834Would he-- Murgatroyd-- be likely to know Pratt?
9834Would n''t it be best?
9834Yes?
9834Yes?
9834You do n''t mean it?
9834You do n''t mean to say that people are suggesting that the foot- bridge had been tampered with?
9834You have n''t shown it to anybody else?
9834You have some idea, of course?
9834You know where he is?
9834You know why I did n''t go to India?
9834You know, of course,continued Byner,"that it does n''t take long for a Bank of England note, once issued, to get back to the Bank?
9834You mean-- he needs more company?
9834You mean-- he was failing?
9834You never advertised in any Yorkshire newspapers?
9834You remember John Mallathorpe and the affair of-- how long is it since?
9834You remember what we were talking of this afternoon when you come in, sir?
9834You said it was about the time of my grandfather''s death?
9834You saw the actual collapse?
9834You say Murgatroyd knew Parrawhite as one of your clerks?
9834You see that?
9834You think that is the course to adopt?
9834You think that, do you?
9834You think this document which Pratt told me he holds is my late uncle''s will?
9834You want to see her?
9834You want to see me?
9834You went and posted it at once?
9834You were looking forward so to going there, were n''t you?
9834You wish to see me? 9834 You''ll give everything up?"
9834You''ll go to the police authorities?
9834You''ll ha''noticed, as you come along t''road just now,''at there''s a deal o''stone quarries i''this neighbourhood?
9834You''ll hand it over-- and let me burn it-- destroy it?
9834You''ll sell it to me?
9834You''re a little-- shall we say-- upset? 9834 You''re going to practise, of course?"
9834You''re not? 9834 You''re not?"
9834You''re sure he is dead?--not fainting?
9834You''re sure it was Friday noon?
9834You-- don''t?
9834Your wife tells me,observed Collingwood,"that you were present when the old chimney fell at the mill yonder?"
9834''I say, Pickard,''he says,''between you an''me, worrn''t t''name o''that man''at used to come in here on a Sunday sometimes, Parrawhite?
9834''Suffering from lack of occupation''?
9834''Well, an''what if it wor?''
9834''Well,''I says,''an''what now?''
9834''What brass has Pratt?''
9834''What could ye tell?''
9834''Wheer''s it coomin''from?''
9834''Wheer''s my money?''
9834''Where did you see''em go to, then?''
9834''Why,''he says,''d''yer think I could get owt o''this reward for tellin that theer?''
9834A little-- shall we say-- angry?
9834Again I ask you-- what have you done with it?"
9834Always confident in his own powers, he had believed that with time and patience he could have persuaded Nesta Mallathorpe to marry him-- why not?
9834America eh?
9834An''how long d''yer think he might ha''been there, now, Prydale?"
9834An''theer''s another thing-- what wor that lawyer- clerk chap fro''Barford-- Pratt-- doin''about theer?
9834And first of all-- is there anything-- something-- in all this that you have n''t told to anybody yet?"
9834And if no use has been made of your stolen cheques-- where are they?"
9834And if she chooses to put Linford Pratt in that position-- why not?
9834And in the pocket inside, in which there''s a map, I found-- what d''ye think?"
9834And now,"he concluded, as he closed the door upon Nesta and himself,"how is Mrs. Mallathorpe today?
9834And now-- what did happen?"
9834And supposing her advisers suggested strong measures against Pratt-- what then, about the danger to her mother, in a twofold direction?
9834And suspicious of whom-- and of what?
9834And what concern is it of yours, Mr. Eldrick?
9834And what did he say, Mrs. Mallathorpe?
9834And what does he say?"
9834And what on earth could Eldrick want with him, or with news of him?
9834And why not?
9834And why paid to Mrs. Mallathorpe at that particular time?
9834And you send a copy of those particulars to the Royal Atlantic offices at Liverpool?"
9834And-- by whom do you think?"
9834And-- for what reason?
9834And-- where was the duplicate copy?
9834And-- without saying anything to the coachman?
9834Anybody but you?"
9834Anything particular?"
9834Are n''t you?"
9834Are you beginning to see something in it, Miss Mallathorpe?"
9834Are you going to stay in Barford much longer?"
9834Asking about a ticket to America?"
9834At the time of Antony Bartle''s death?
9834Bank- notes?
9834But as time went on, I''t''greatest difficulty in gettin''a settlement wi''him, d''ye see?
9834But first you''d no doubt like to go to your grandfather''s place and look through his papers?
9834But first-- how was it?"
9834But he was very old indeed, was n''t he?"
9834But if it was brought to light?
9834But now-- what on earth is this document that''s been mentioned-- this paper of which Pratt has possession?
9834But the effect-- the effect of producing the will-- now?
9834But-- I should say your son and daughter are getting a few thousand a year each, are n''t they, Mrs. Mallathorpe?
9834But-- I suppose you''ll have to go?"
9834But-- do you know where Parrawhite has lived-- lodged?"
9834But-- if you come back, you''ll come here sometimes?"
9834But-- is it too soon to talk about the future?"
9834But-- is there no way of compelling Pratt to give up that document-- whatever it is?
9834But-- to what point?"
9834But-- what about Pratt?"
9834But-- what terms were you thinking of?"
9834But-- what was it worth?
9834But-- where is Parrawhite?"
9834By- the- by,"he added, as Pratt moved towards the door,"you do n''t know what-- what he came to see me about?"
9834Bye- the- bye, Mr. Pratt-- my grandfather did n''t tell you anything of the reason of his call here?"
9834Bye- the- bye, you''re not engaged, are you?"
9834Ca n''t he be made to give it up?"
9834Can I really think that-- after what I saw?"
9834Can we come in?"
9834Can you come here, bringing it with you, tomorrow, Saturday afternoon, by the train which leaves soon after two o''clock?
9834Chad''s?"
9834Coast clear?"
9834Collingwood?"
9834Collingwood?"
9834Collingwood?"
9834Come on, now!--isn''t this the chance you''ve wanted?"
9834Come to hev a look round, like-- what?"
9834Could n''t you telephone up to his house and ask him to run back here?"
9834D''ye see?"
9834Did he do something particular after half- past four?"
9834Did you hear that?"
9834Did you see any of it?"
9834Do n''t you see, man?
9834Do n''t you see?"
9834Do you hear that, mother?
9834Do you know how it is that it''s never come out?"
9834Do you know what Mrs. Mallathorpe has done?
9834Do you know what you want on this estate?"
9834Do you know why I insist on that?
9834Do you know why?
9834Do you recognize your mother''s handwriting?"
9834Do you remember Parrawhite?
9834Do you see how cleverly she''d laid her plans-- murderous plans?"
9834Do you see that situation?"
9834Do you think I am going to give up my rights without fighting for them?
9834Do you understand?"
9834Do you want them, or either of them, to be present?"
9834Does he know-- did he give them up?"
9834Does she know owt?
9834Eh?
9834Eldrick?"
9834Eldrick?"
9834Eldrick?"
9834Eldrick?"
9834Eldrick?"
9834Eldrick?"
9834For a time-- or for-- what?"
9834For what purpose?
9834For what reason?
9834Gaukrodger?"
9834Going back to town, sir?"
9834Got something for twopence that you''ll sell for ten guineas?
9834Had he let Eldrick know anything?
9834Had he told the precise truth about the old man''s death?
9834Had this clerk come to see her about that?--and if so, what had she to do with it?
9834Has Mrs. Mallathorpe at some time committed forgery-- or bigamy-- or-- what is it?
9834Have you ever heard of any of these cheque forms being made use of?"
9834Have you the numbers of those notes?"
9834He felt what closely approached a contemptuous pity for Harper-- why did n''t he turn to some occupation?
9834He might have had some-- premonition, eh?"
9834He told me that in turning over one of the books which he had bought from Mallathorpe Mill, some short time ago, he had found-- what do you think?"
9834He will be there, of course,--but-- would you mind being there, too!--so that you can-- afterwards-- tell me all about it?"
9834He''d no relations in the town, had he?"
9834How do I know what the old man really wanted?"
9834How do you know-- how does anybody know''at t''young squire worn''t thrown off that bridge, and''at t''bridge collapsed when he wor thrown?
9834How long shall you want to be with her?"
9834How would it be, then, at this first stage to make such a demonstration in force that she would recognize his strength?
9834How-- where did you get them?"
9834I ax agen-- what wor that feller doin''theer?
9834I dare say you''re aware-- it was all in the papers-- that Mr. John Mallathorpe died intestate?"
9834I do n''t know if ye were surprised or no when t''lawyers tellygraphed to yer last night?
9834I suppose your arrangements-- you said you were sailing for India-- won''t permit of your being present tomorrow, sir?"
9834I''ll tell ye one on''em-- how is it''at nowt-- not a single word-- wor said at yon inquest about Mrs. Mallathorpe and t''affair?
9834If Mrs. Mallathorpe liked to entrust her business to him, what is to prevent it?
9834If you arrange this, will you come in again this evening?"
9834Improving, I hope?"
9834In that case-- or cases-- what is the best thing to do?"
9834Is all this clear to you?"
9834Is n''t that a request from her that I should call on her yesterday afternoon?
9834Is that honest?"
9834It was really an enormous amount which they would lose-- and they would get-- what?
9834John Mallathorpe''s-- will?
9834Just so-- now, when would that be?"
9834Look here!--have you got a quarter of an hour to spare?"
9834Mallathorpe?"
9834Mallathorpe?"
9834Mallathorpe?"
9834More trouble?"
9834Mr. Collingwood, no doubt?
9834Mr. Eldrick in?"
9834Murgatroyd?"
9834No?
9834Not a word?
9834Now if those notes have n''t been presented at the Bank-- where are they?
9834Now then-- couldn''t you remember-- I''m sure you could-- that you booked a passage for Parrawhite to America last November?
9834Now then-- what are you going to give me?"
9834Now what did Mrs. Mallathorpe do?
9834Now what is it?
9834Now what''s up, Reuben?
9834Now who advised you to come here and speak to me like this, as if I were a common criminal?
9834Now, then, a question, if you please-- are you and I adversaries?"
9834Now, to start with, who says there has been any forcing?
9834Now, to start with, you say he came to you about getting a passage to America?
9834Now, what game is Master Pratt playing?
9834Now, who is the best local detective-- a quiet, steady fellow who knows how to do his work unobtrusively?"
9834Now-- I have reason for asking-- would you mind telling me, Mrs. Mallathorpe, what that letter was about?"
9834Now-- are you going to pursue inquiries for Parrawhite here in Barford, after what I''ve told you?"
9834Now-- do you wish to read the letter?
9834Of course, you knew what to say to both?"
9834One wants-- I suppose-- is it action, movement, what is it?"
9834Or a special?"
9834Or perhaps Mr. Robson?
9834Or servants?"
9834Owe you anything, missis?"
9834Own up!--you''ve found out that the will leaves the property away from the present holders, and you''ve been to Normandale to-- bargain?
9834Parrawhite, whom he knew as one of our clerks, told him, last November 23rd----""He was exact about dates, then, was he?"
9834Perhaps you never heard of that?
9834Pickard?"
9834Pickard?"
9834Pickard?"
9834Pity, is n''t it?"
9834Robson?"
9834See?
9834See?"
9834So he''s wanted, is he?
9834So, in all that great town of Barford, he, Linford Pratt, he, alone out of a quarter of a million people, knew-- what?
9834So-- why not leave it at that?
9834Something of that sort?"
9834Sounds lonely, does n''t it?"
9834Suppose all these things have a common origin?
9834Suppose that finding you out, he showed it to Pratt?
9834Suppose that my grandfather brought it across here to you?
9834Suppose the hold which Parrawhite had-- or has-- on Pratt is part and parcel of the hold which Pratt has on Mrs. Mallathorpe?
9834The curious thing is----""What?"
9834The money part, any way?"
9834The only question was-- was the bird in hand worth the two; or the money, which he believed he would net in the bush?
9834There is something I should be glad if you would do tomorrow,"she went on, looking at him a little wistfully,"You know about-- the inquest?"
9834There was their own business-- why did n''t he put in so many hours a day there, instead of leaving it to managers?
9834There''s some secret and----""Will you answer one or two questions?"
9834Those stairs are a bit trying, are n''t they?
9834To be provided for, for life!--what more could a wise man want?
9834Understand?"
9834Was he honest?
9834Was he in here last night?"
9834Was his word to be trusted?
9834Was it-- could it be possible that the old man, before going to Eldrick''s, had left some memorandum of his discovery in his desk-- or in a diary?
9834Was there a web of detectives already being spun around himself?
9834Was there, then, something-- some secret which was being kept back by-- somebody?
9834We know now that he has some document in his possession which does give him a hold-- may it not be that of which the boy Naylor told me?"
9834Well, it''s this here, Mr. Eldrick-- you know where my place is, of course?"
9834Well, why not make a private golf- links in your park?
9834Were you in the shop when Mr. Bartle went out?"
9834What about him, Miss Mallathorpe?"
9834What are you-- inquiry agents?"
9834What business can that man have with her?--or she with him?
9834What can I do for you?"
9834What can prove it?
9834What could have been done with them, in the few minutes which elapsed between the signing and the catastrophe to the chimney?
9834What did he come for?"
9834What did he know?
9834What did she hear?
9834What did she say?
9834What did she see?
9834What do you say, Collingwood?"
9834What do you say, Collingwood?"
9834What do you say, Collingwood?"
9834What do you suggest?"
9834What does Pratt do next?
9834What had she to do wi''t''affair?"
9834What have you done with John Mallathorpe''s will?"
9834What hold?
9834What in the name of the devil did it mean?
9834What is it at present, this situation, but intolerable?
9834What is this document to which he refers?
9834What is this hold on Mrs. Mallathorpe?
9834What of it?"
9834What reight had he to be prowlin''round t''neighbourhood o''that bridge, and at that time?
9834What reight had he to be prowlin''round t''neighbourhood o''that bridge, and at that time?
9834What right have these people-- what right has her daughter-- to come between me and my living?"
9834What right have you?"
9834What sort of a fellow was Pratt?
9834What sort of a secret could it be?
9834What was he doing?
9834What was she doing there, Miss Mallathorpe?
9834What was this stranger chap after?
9834What were the terms of that will?
9834What''s he got to do with all this?
9834What''s it matter to you where Parrawhite,_ alias_ Parsons, went, when he''d once left your shop?
9834What''s it matter to you,''he says,''so long as you get your brass?''
9834What''s to be done?"
9834What''s upset you, Murgatroyd?"
9834What, asked Collingwood, was the reasonable presumption?
9834Whatever pleasure in life could there be for me, knowing that at the back of all this there is that-- what?"
9834Wheer will you be for buryin''him, Mestur Collingwood?"
9834Where are they?"
9834Where''s the money?"
9834Who can prove it?
9834Who knows what people you sell passages to-- but yourself?"
9834Who on earth is Pratt-- what right, title, age, or qualification, has he to be entrusted with such a big affair?
9834Who see''d it fall to pieces?
9834Who was theer to see what did happen?"
9834Who''s got anything to say against me?
9834Why are you blackmailing my mother?"
9834Why did n''t he interest himself in local affairs?--work at something?
9834Why did you send for the police?"
9834Why do I think that?
9834Why is that probable?
9834Why not accept things as they are?
9834Why not be friends, now-- why not shake hands?"
9834Why should he be sorry?
9834Why the immediate writing of the letter to Mrs. Mallathorpe?
9834Why the setting off to Eldrick& Pascoe''s office as soon as the letter was written?
9834Why, this indeed was romance; and it might be-- what else?
9834Why?
9834Why?
9834Why?
9834Why?
9834Will you come back about four and hear what message she sends me?
9834Will you follow?"
9834Will you go and see Murgatroyd?
9834Will you listen quietly to me?"
9834Will you look at him, sir?"
9834With what idea?
9834Would it be better, wiser, if she kept all this to herself at present, and waited for events to develop?
9834Yet-- why the sudden exclamation on finding that paper?
9834You agree, Collingwood?"
9834You are still here, then?"
9834You ask what qualification Pratt has for a post of that sort?
9834You do n''t want that will to be handed over to the trustees named in it, Charlesworth& Wyatt?"
9834You do n''t?
9834You fill up particulars on a form and a counterfoil, do n''t you?
9834You have heard me mention my late clerk-- Pratt?"
9834You have n''t shown it to anybody else?"
9834You have not mentioned it before, I suppose?
9834You hev''grounds for believin''''at theer is----what?"
9834You know-- this affair of an old clerk of his-- Parrawhite?"
9834You reminded him of it?"
9834You want the Pratt influence out of the way-- at any cost?"
9834You were here yesterday, of course?
9834You''ve let the Town Hall people know?
9834You''ve seen this young lady?"
9834remarked Parrawhite at the end,"Now, then, what terms do you mean to insist on?"
9834remarked Pratt,"That explains it, then?"
9834what is it all about?--and why does n''t she tell me?"
9836A British destroyer come across the Atlantic, eh?
9836A little blunt, are you not, my young friend?
9836A political matter?
9836A rich brother- in- law coming along, eh? 9836 A what?"
9836A woman?
9836An Admirable Crichton of finance and diplomacy and love- making, eh? 9836 An autograph letter, did you say?"
9836And England?
9836And from there?
9836And if I decide to hold my Anglo- French?
9836And now?
9836And see her brother disgraced,Fischer reminded him,"tried at the Criminal Court for theft and sent to Sing Sing?
9836And the autograph letter?
9836And the price?
9836And the quid pro quo?
9836And the second thing you mentioned?
9836And what are you going to do with it?
9836And what do you mean by saying that I am not going to marry him?
9836And what exactly is that?
9836And whom, pray?
9836And why is the Atlantic unnegotiable?
9836And why not?
9836And why not?
9836And why,she asked,"do you credit him with so much good faith?"
9836And you propose to hand over the conduct of these negotiations to me,Pamela observed,"in return for what?"
9836And your golf with Senator Hamblin? 9836 Any chance of it?"
9836Any news?
9836Any submarines?
9836Anyone called me up?
9836Anything wrong, old fellow?
9836Are n''t you hurt?
9836Are n''t your ears burning?
9836Are those things under present consideration?
9836Are you going to have any time for sight- seeing?
9836Are you going to repeat that you want this formula for Washington and not for Berlin?
9836Are you going too?
9836Are you mad?
9836Are you staying in the hotel?
9836Are you sure that you had it with you when you came into Henry''s?
9836Are you sure,she asked,"that the formula itself would not find its way into your father''s country?"
9836Are you there, Kato?
9836Are you with friends here, uncle?
9836As an individual?
9836At what?
9836Before you took up your present job, eh?
9836But ca n''t you realise,he went on eagerly,"that even this is for the best?
9836But how?
9836But the attack upon me?
9836But what is to become of me?
9836But why make it to me?
9836But why not?
9836But you are well and strong again now, is it not so? 9836 But you?"
9836By the bye, are you particularly fond of your uncle?
9836By the bye, do you remember all that fuss about the disappearance of a young soldier that morning at Henry''s?
9836By the bye,Lutchester inquired,"is Fischer still in New York?"
9836By the three o''clock train, I hope?
9836Ca n''t I?
9836Ca n''t you hear them yapping about in the office outside? 9836 Can I get a whisky and soda?"
9836Can you do anything with it?
9836Can you throw it in?
9836Come,he protested,"what is the use of a friend from whom you are separated by an unnegotiable space?"
9836Could I guess it?
9836Could n''t keep a thing that did n''t belong to me, could I?
9836Could n''t we go there for a few moments?
9836Dear me, are you a woman- hater?
9836Did any one else enter the musicians''room whilst he was lying in the alcove?
9836Did they come direct from the States?
9836Did they suspect Miss Van Teyl, then, of having taken your pocketbook?
9836Did you recognise the man with whom he was playing?
9836Did you talk politics with him?
9836Do I seem so?
9836Do I take anything but words to Tokio?
9836Do I understand that he has been down in----?
9836Do n''t tell me, Mr. Fischer,she protested,"that ever in your practical life you have spent a single moment in dreams?"
9836Do n''t you remember my friend, James?
9836Do you believe that any one of those cheques was made payable to any of the men who are under arrest?
9836Do you believe,she asked curiously,"that he had really been robbed of his formula?"
9836Do you come here to dance?
9836Do you happen to know that fellow Oscar Fischer?
9836Do you mean that you, too, are thinking of taking a holiday from your strenuous labours?
9836Do you really believe that?
9836Do you really think so?
9836Do you remember Baron Sunyea making a remark afterwards? 9836 Do you remember his asking for them?"
9836Do you think I should be safe in trusting my heart and future to an Englishman?
9836Do you think you can remember now what happened when you went upstairs?
9836Do you think you could stand having Mr. Fischer to dinner one evening this week?
9836Do you think you have the requisite gifts?
9836Do you think, perhaps, that you underestimate Mr. Fischer''s position over here?
9836Do you want to save yourself, Joseph? 9836 Do you want to see him alone?"
9836Does it seem likely that Sandy should chuck his luncheon without a word of explanation, come out and get his coat and hat and walk off? 9836 Done what?"
9836Done your bit o''business, eh?
9836Eh?
9836Enough?
9836Even the pocketbook was a fake, then?
9836Everything?
9836Exactly why did you come to America?
9836Fairy tales?
9836Feel strong enough to walk about fifty yards?
9836Feeling better, eh?
9836Fischer is a Westerner, is n''t he?
9836Fischer, are you sure of what you''re saying? 9836 Fischer,"he asked,"what made you go into this so big?
9836Fischer,he said,"you''ll forgive me if I put a certain matter to you plainly?"
9836For negligence?
9836For whom do you speak?
9836From James?
9836From Washington, eh?
9836From you?
9836Gay scene, is n''t it?
9836Get any references with him?
9836Golf?
9836Good sportsman, no doubt, and all that sort of thing, but the last fellow in the world to concoct a yarn, and if he did, what was his object?
9836Got you into a kind of hornets''nest, eh?
9836Great friend of yours?
9836Hallo, Sis?
9836Happen to know the name?
9836Has Mr. Fischer been telling you fairy tales?
9836Has Mr. Fischer gone, Ferrani?
9836Has there been any telegram from him?--any news as to the cause of his non- return?
9836Haskall, the Government explosives man?
9836Have I offended you, then?
9836Have you any idea about those cheques?
9836Have you any news you''re keeping up your sleeve?
9836Have you got it?
9836Have you got it?
9836Have you tried the bar?
9836He has n''t shown you a certain autograph letter yet, I suppose?
9836He is a German by birth, is he not?
9836Heard all that Mr. Fischer has to say?
9836How came you to speak English like this?
9836How dare you ask me to give away my secrets?
9836How did she come by the prize?
9836How did they bring you here?
9836How did you know it was mine?
9836How do you know he wants to marry me?
9836How do you know that I searched him?
9836How do you know this? 9836 How is our friend Fischer this morning?"
9836How long are you going to stay in Washington?
9836How long have you been valet here?
9836How long should you require the letter for?
9836How many Anglo- French will you buy for me? 9836 How much is Mr. Fischer going to lose?"
9836How much of this are you responsible for?
9836How''s that?
9836How''s your memory?
9836However, you are satisfied, I suppose, that my advice is good?
9836Hullo, Lutchester, how are you? 9836 Hullo?''"
9836Hurt?
9836I am permitted to take a copy?
9836I believe he''s expected back to- morrow.... Say, can I ask you a question?
9836I believe that that is your uncle''s point of view,Mrs. Hastings assented...."Why do n''t you ask Mr. Lutchester down for a couple of days?"
9836I ca n''t see you giving a leg up to the Huns.... Will you lunch with me at one o''clock to- morrow, please?
9836I have n''t disturbed your morning, I hope?
9836I reached the lavatory all right-- you were with me then, were n''t you?
9836I see.... And you think that these written words--?
9836I should like, if I may?
9836I suppose there is a passage from the restaurant?
9836I suppose you want to know what became of poor Graham?
9836I thought that you were in the Ministry of Munitions?
9836I was going to ask you, Mr. Van Teyl,he inquired,"whether your Japanese servant was altogether a success?
9836I wonder why?
9836If that is your idea,Lutchester remarked suavely,"why buy now?
9836If you would n''t mind sailing home?
9836Is Mr. Fischer one of your typical millionaires, Miss Van Teyl?
9836Is anything the matter?
9836Is he a sphinx or a fool?
9836Is he back in New York?
9836Is it as exciting as fighting?
9836Is it?
9836Is n''t Captain Graham here yet?
9836Is n''t censoring a little dull?
9836Is n''t it enough?
9836Is n''t that a little dangerous?
9836Is she a pal of yours?
9836Is that necessary?
9836Is that the office of the American Steamship Company?
9836Is that, by any chance, one of our missing guests, Captain Holderness?
9836Is there any way in which I could help you?
9836Is there anything more I can do before I go to bed, sir?
9836Is this neutrality?
9836Is this part of your European manners, Pamela?
9836Is this seclusion vanity or flattery?
9836Is this true?
9836Is your aunt by way of being interested in politics?
9836Is your leader a man of nerves?
9836Is your uncle a keen politician?
9836It is Miss Van Teyl who speaks? 9836 It is bad to hear,"one little man acknowledged, with a sigh,"but who can doubt it?
9836It is the style you admire, is it not?
9836It is you, sir, I believe, whom I have to thank for the abrupt departure of Mademoiselle Sonia from New York?
9836It was Karl Neumann, was it not, on whom you relied? 9836 It was arranged in London, that?"
9836It was locked?
9836It was not for this that you sought me out, eh? 9836 It would be too ridiculous, would n''t it-- you could n''t in any way connect the idea behind that notice with Sandy''s disappearance?"
9836Just how do you know that?
9836Just what do you mean by that?
9836Listen to you? 9836 Listen,"he said;"do you believe that the Hastings- cum- Fischer party is going to be the best thing that could happen for America?"
9836Look here,he said,"I''m sane enough now, are n''t I, and in my proper senses?
9836Look here,he said,"you''ll forgive me if I repeat myself and ask you once more-- what the hell has all this got to do with you?"
9836Mademoiselle Sonia is perhaps connected with the regulation of the munition supplies from America?
9836Meaning me?
9836Mind my smoking?
9836Miss Van Teyl?
9836Miss Van Teyl?
9836Mr. Bookam has n''t drawn any cheques lately for large amounts?
9836Mr. Fischer,she asked,"what about that news?"
9836My God, how did you get here?
9836News?
9836Nikasti?
9836Nothing that would interest me, eh?
9836Now do n''t you agree with me that Fischer''s game is just a little too daring?
9836Now what are your sister and Mr. Lutchester studying again?
9836Of course it is,he answered,"but why do you say so?"
9836Of seeing you?
9836Perhaps not,Pamela conceded,"but if you''re a good American, what are you doing at all with a Japanese secret agent?"
9836Perhaps we shall be fellow- passengers on Thursday?
9836Pleasant company, ai n''t he?
9836Prefers departmental work to fighting, were you going to add?
9836Professionally?
9836Queer set out, is n''t it? 9836 Queer tastes, have n''t I, Jimmy?"
9836Rather an odd sort of lodger for you, is n''t he?
9836Save myself from what, eh? 9836 Say, Mr. Fischer, what are you getting at?"
9836Say, Mr. Lutchester, you have n''t any twin brother, have you?
9836Say, did n''t that Jap fellow get the pocketbook from your rooms at all, then?
9836Say, do you know who''s coming to the next table?
9836Say, how did you know I was supping at Henry''s?
9836Say, this is Mr. Lutchester, is n''t it?
9836Say, what are you doing with that car?
9836Say, what is it you want with me?
9836Shall I be perfectly frank?
9836Shall I send out for some brandy?
9836Shall I? 9836 Sharing rooms in the Plaza Hotel?"
9836She was the friend of Count Maurice Ziduski, was n''t she?
9836Shot?
9836Show on to- night, is n''t there?
9836So Fischer has taken you into his confidence, has he?
9836So Uncle Theodore started it, did he?
9836So he''s your spark, is he?
9836So that is how you would explain this epidemic of disasters, eh?
9836So that''s it, is it?
9836So that''s the game, James Van Teyl, is it?
9836So you know Mr. Fischer, uncle?
9836So you think if we dined with you, the atmosphere to- night would be different?
9836So you two know one another, eh?
9836So you''re Nikasti?
9836Some swell, I suppose? 9836 Stop anywhere on the way?"
9836Submarine alarms from the stewardess?
9836Supposing it is in mine?
9836Tell me now,she begged,"about Captain Graham?"
9836Tell me some more about your little adventure in Fifth Avenue?
9836Tell me what on earth you mean?
9836Tell me, then, to begin with,he asked thoughtfully,"on which side are your sympathies?"
9836Tell me,he inquired,"is that your house-- the next one to this?"
9836Tell me,she begged,"the whole extent of your mission in America?"
9836Tell us what you have been doing in Berlin, then?
9836That is all very well,Pamela said, stirring her tea,"but I can not help asking once more why you come to me at all?
9836That so?
9836That the office of Neville, Brooks and Van Teyl?
9836That you, Van Teyl?... 9836 That''s all right, but what about this job?"
9836That''s the worst of having an uncle in the Administration, is n''t it? 9836 The first, I trust, was not disagreeable?"
9836The negative?
9836The value of that offer,Pamela remarked thoughtfully,"would depend rather upon the issue of the present war, would n''t it?"
9836Then had n''t it better come,Pamela suggested,"and clear the ocean for your commerce?"
9836Then, how did you get over here? 9836 There has been a great battle, perhaps?"
9836There is, perhaps, now,she asked,"a woman in your life?"
9836There was danger for poor little me?
9836There,she added, throwing open the door which led into the premises behind,"ca n''t you hear him, poor soul?
9836This,Pamela admitted,"is quite interesting, but it is entirely in the realms of conjecture, is it not?"
9836Threaten you-- what about?
9836To Germany?
9836To begin at the beginning, then-- about that destroyer?
9836To follow Fischer?
9836To wait on Mr. Van Teyl and Mr. Fischer, eh? 9836 To where?"
9836Want a card for her?
9836Want the boss?
9836We met at Henry''s some ten days ago, did n''t we?
9836Well, tell me about that, then?
9836Well, that''s a reasonable proposition, is n''t it, from his point of view?
9836Well, what is it that you do, then?
9836Well, you''re not asking for my sympathy, I suppose?
9836Well,he inquired,"what do you make of it?"
9836Well?
9836Well?
9836Well?
9836Well?
9836Well?
9836Were n''t you knocked down by a taxicab,Pamela asked,"outside the hotel?"
9836Were you born in America-- or England?
9836What I want to know,Van Teyl continued confidentially,"is how you get that long run on your cleek shots?
9836What about a little lunch?
9836What about his hat and coat?
9836What about it? 9836 What about our alliance?"
9836What about our dinner to- night?
9836What about those qualifications for my ambassadorial career?
9836What about?
9836What are they?
9836What did you say about the markets?
9836What do you mean to do, then?
9836What do you mean?
9836What do you mean?
9836What do you propose to do, then?
9836What do you think Anglo- French are going to do, Mr. Van Teyl?
9836What do you want me to do, then?
9836What do you wish?
9836What does it matter,he demanded,"who handles this formula-- you or I?
9836What does this mean?
9836What for?
9836What is it, then, of which I am in search?
9836What is it? 9836 What is she like?
9836What is that?
9836What is the name of the Englishman?
9836What might you be wanting with him?
9836What papers did the police take away with them?
9836What the hell are you talking about?
9836What the hell do you mean?
9836What time will the_ New York_ sail?
9836What unnegotiable space?
9836What was your profession?
9836What''s become of the fellow?
9836What''s he been up to?
9836What''s the hurry?
9836What''s the matter?
9836What''s the name?
9836What''s this?
9836What''s up, anyway?
9836What''s wrong?
9836What, the guy that missed his lunch to- day?
9836What, this morning?
9836What-- where am I? 9836 When could we have a day down at Baltusrol?"
9836When did these flowers come, Leah?
9836When we land,he continued eagerly,"you will be coming to see your brother, wo n''t you?"
9836Where are his things, then?
9836Where did you collect all this information?
9836Where do they keep it?
9836Where is Jimmy?
9836Where is he?
9836Where is it, then-- the real thing?
9836Where is the formula?
9836Where shall I tell the man to go to?
9836Where should we start? 9836 Where the devil do you come in at all?"
9836Where''s Mr. Van Teyl?
9836Where''s Mr. Van Teyl?
9836Who are you, anyway?
9836Who can tell? 9836 Who is your opponent?"
9836Who the devil are you, anyway, Lutchester?
9836Who wants to give up a very agreeable profession and enter upon a career of bloodshed, abandon all one''s habits, and lose most of one''s friends? 9836 Who was the first person you saw when you recovered consciousness?"
9836Why are you so sure that I have the formula?
9836Why not now?
9836Why not?
9836Why not?
9836Why not?
9836Why particularly this evening?
9836Why should he want to get rid of you? 9836 Why should n''t I?"
9836Why was I locked in here?
9836Why, I thought you did n''t like him, aunt?
9836Why, Mr. Lutchester,she demanded,"how on earth did you get here?"
9836Why, are you going, too?
9836Why, how on earth did you catch this steamer? 9836 Why, where is Mr. Van Teyl?"
9836Will Germany be in a position to help us after the war?
9836Will it please you soon,he begged,"to resume our conversation of the other day?
9836Will they have any show at all?
9836Will you do me a favour?
9836Will you do some business for me?
9836Will you give me number 77,he asked--"Miss Van Teyl''s suite?"
9836Will you not interpret?
9836Will you take my message with you to Washington to- morrow?
9836Will you talk to me, Japan?
9836Will you tell me why a cautious man like you engages, without reference, a chauffeur who turns out to be a murderer?
9836With us?
9836Yes, but what on?
9836Yes?
9836You are going away soon?
9836You are not thinking of the trip home yet, Miss Van Teyl?
9836You are not, by any chance, going to talk seriously, dear John?
9836You are sure,she asked,"that you do not mind my leaving the rest of this affair in your hands?
9836You are sure?
9836You are wondering how I got hold of this, of course?
9836You believe that it was I who searched your stateroom?
9836You can make, then, the unwilling speak?
9836You did n''t hear the end of the affair, I suppose?
9836You did n''t know that he and I were sharing rooms together, then, in the Plaza Hotel, I suppose?
9836You do n''t approve of Hassan''s little ceremony?
9836You do n''t mind being put into the witness box, do you?
9836You do n''t suggest that I should rob her of it, I suppose?
9836You do not wish him interfered with?
9836You expect to have a little spare time, then?
9836You give me credit for intelligence, then?
9836You have an object in being kind to Jimmy, then?
9836You have had some news?
9836You have it then?
9836You have n''t any doubt about that yourself, have you, Miss Van Teyl?
9836You have n''t heard, then?
9836You have not had anything stolen?
9836You hear?
9836You know Mr. Lutchester, do n''t you, aunt?
9836You know his name, then?
9836You know my friends, do n''t you?
9836You know that things are moving with our friend Fischer?
9836You know that-- that I''m under arrest?
9836You mean that Mr. Fischer showed it to you?
9836You mean that fellow Lutchester turning up?
9836You mean the day that pocketbook was stolen that the whole world seems crazy about?
9836You mean the girl who was murdered?
9836You mean the old Johnny down at Baltusrol?
9836You mean they are hiding already?
9836You noticed, perhaps,he said,"the American girl-- the beautiful young lady with this guy''s friends?
9836You promise to say or do nothing without my permission, if I tell you something?
9836You rather asked for it, did n''t you?
9836You think he''s mixed up with Fischer?
9836You think so?
9836You think that we shall reach Misery Island before the tide turns?
9836You want the truth, do n''t you?
9836You want to buy Anglo- French?
9836You will let me see that they bring your car round?
9836You wish to see my master-- Mr. Van Teyl?
9836You wish to speak to him? 9836 You wo n''t forget to answer my little question later on, will you?"
9836You wo n''t mind?
9836You''ll come?
9836You''re here to stay, I guess, Nikasti? 9836 Your brother?"
9836Your business?
9836Your friend,he asked,"he has not arrived, eh?"
9836Your jewellery?
9836... What do you mean?"
9836Accustomed to self- analysis, she asked herself swiftly-- what?
9836Ah, well, why should I be surprised?"
9836Am I not right?"
9836Am I to go to Scotland Yard and tell them so?"
9836And beyond that, what?
9836And uncle''s plans,"she went on reflectively,"have become a little changed, have n''t they?"
9836And what about his own people?
9836And, besides, where was he all the time we were looking for him?"
9836Are you going to give me an idea of what''s moving?"
9836Are you going to take me round and show me the sights?"
9836Are you quite sure that we have n''t missed him?"
9836Bookam?"
9836Bookam?"
9836Burning something when I came in were n''t you?
9836By the bye, were you playing golf with Senator Hamblin by accident the other afternoon?"
9836By the bye, will you both come out and dine with me to- night?"
9836By the bye, you got my letter?"
9836By the bye,"he went on,"is your brother in, do you happen to know?
9836Ca n''t you see, you foolish child, the risk you have been running?
9836Can you not realise why Japan is keeping out of this war?
9836Come, what do they do with the people who disappear from the restaurant?"
9836Coming up town?"
9836Could n''t I have my answer?"
9836Could n''t we be just friends a little longer?"
9836Could n''t you ring up Scotland Yard now?"
9836Could we get on to Scotland Yard from here?"
9836Did you examine the contents of the pocketbook?"
9836Do I have the key of that chapel?"
9836Do you feel the life going out of you?...
9836Do you happen to have seen the latest telegrams?"
9836Do you know much about the Japanese, Miss Pamela?"
9836Do you know that I came up on deck in a state of great agitation?"
9836Do you realise that I am a stranger in New York, and any hospitality you can show me may be doubly rewarded?
9836Do you remember all the fuss there was about the disappearance of Captain Holderness''friend at Henry''s?"
9836Does that go?"
9836Fifth Avenue way and the swagger parts, eh?"
9836Fischer?"
9836Fischer?"
9836Fischer?"
9836Fischer?"
9836Fischer?"
9836Fischer?"
9836Fischer?"
9836Fischer?"
9836Fischer?"
9836Forgive me, but are n''t we wasting time, Mr. Lutchester?
9836Got any enemies?"
9836Got anything with you?"
9836Had a pleasant voyage?"
9836Had any Western race the right to flaunt her Empire''s flag in Asiatic seas?
9836Have you any idea who robbed you?"
9836Have you any theories, Miss Van Teyl?"
9836Have you anything to say to me, Nikasti?"
9836Have you been to Washington?"
9836Have you earned it?"
9836Have you got your list of guests handy?"
9836Have you heard from your brother lately?"
9836Have you opened it?"
9836He is a great patron of yours, is he not?"
9836He is thoroughly German, is n''t he?"
9836How can you be sure of it?"
9836How did you hear about it?"
9836How did you know what it meant to me?"
9836How far might it not drag him down?
9836How have things seemed to you here lately?"
9836How much do you owe him, Jimmy?"
9836How should I hear?"
9836However you may look at it, things have changed, have they not?
9836I am right so far, am I not?"
9836I have scarcely thanked you yet for returning the pocketbook, have I?"
9836I suppose it''s the wind, or is it the stars, or the silence, or what?
9836I thought you were coming on the Thursday boat?"
9836I was coming myself with Pamela for a few days, but this little deal of yours has set things buzzing.... Say, who''s that?"
9836I''m good enough, are n''t I?
9836If I move my revolver the other two will get the drop on me-- I think that is the correct expression?
9836If I need your help, will you give it me?"
9836If our shells fall upon New York on the day when your warships are sighted off the Californian coast, do you suppose that America could resist?
9836If she is all the world to you, why did you send me that little note?
9836If there is any prejudice in the matter, why should it not come from Mr. Fischer?
9836If, indeed, he knew what was passing around him to that extent, how much more knowledge might he not possess?
9836In the second, by what possible means could he have arrived at this precise and psychological moment?
9836Is that Claridge''s Hotel?"
9836Is that it, eh, Fischer?"
9836Is that neutrality?"
9836Is that, perhaps, another word too slight, eh?"
9836It makes quite a small world of it, does n''t it?"
9836It was n''t altogether by accident you met him down at Baltusrol, was it?"
9836Leaving aside that other matter, what is your proposition to me?"
9836Les oreilles ennemies vous ecoutent!?"
9836Looked like a cable, eh?"
9836Lutchester?"
9836Lutchester?"
9836Lutchester?"
9836Lutchester?"
9836May I introduce Philip Downing?"
9836Meanwhile?"
9836New Zealand?"
9836Ninety- five?...
9836No offence, eh?"
9836No, say about what?...
9836Now will you kindly tell Hassan that I wish to speak to him, or shall I go and find him for myself?"
9836Officer?"
9836Perhaps it would be more convenient if I came round in the morning?
9836Perhaps you will tell me what it is that you do want?"
9836Put me through, if you please, to Miss Van Teyl''s apartments... What?
9836Repeat that, will you?...
9836Say, is anything wrong with you?
9836Seen your sister yet?"
9836Sell me a hundred thousand.... What''s that?...
9836Shall I begin to buy back for you?
9836Shall I call out?"
9836Supposing for a moment that Lutchester was also out for the great things, was he fooled by her attitude?
9836Supposing they got hold of something like this new explosive?"
9836Surely we''re going for him?"
9836Take my sister and Miss Van Teyl in, will you?"
9836Tell me at once?
9836Tell me more about it?"
9836Tell me something about your work at the War Office?"
9836Tell me the truth at once?"
9836Tell me, what have you done with your prize?"
9836Tell me,"he added, looking around,"we are to be alone here?"
9836The orchestra consists entirely of Americans, I suppose?"
9836Their husbands look like it, do n''t they?
9836There is the musicians''room, is n''t there, just over the entrance hall?
9836There was a time, was there not, John, when you did not care to sit always so far away?"
9836There was more than a dash of melodrama in it, was n''t there?
9836They believe that secretly he is in sympathy with Nikasti''s reports-- but you do n''t know about those, I suppose?"
9836They left me alone to write out the formula again, and then you came.... How on earth did you tumble on to my being there, Lutchester?"
9836Very well, then, I ask you, what has Japan gained?
9836Was it possible that Lutchester was the other and the central figure in that remarkable rescue?
9836Was n''t he here for several hours with you this afternoon?
9836Was there any possible explanation of his opportune appearance on the night before with a dummy pocketbook and a concocted story?
9836We offer a great and substantial advantage, a safeguard for your country''s future, in return for what?
9836We''ll be at the Oriental at eight o''clock, eh?"
9836Were these the thoughts you had in your mind when you sent your little note?--when you chose to show yourself once more in my life?"
9836Were you in any way troubled or embarrassed by the presence of the little Japanese gentleman?"
9836What about Australia?...
9836What about the great German victory in the North Sea, Mr. Fischer?
9836What are you going to Washington for?"
9836What are you thinking of me-- that I am a little animal who loves comfort too much, eh?"
9836What did you do it for?
9836What did you say your name was?"
9836What do you say, Nikasti?
9836What do you think?"
9836What do you think?--is it superfluous or not?"
9836What do you want with me?"
9836What does she want it for, do you think?
9836What harm can you do him?"
9836What have I to do with any proposition you may have to make?"
9836What have you to do with my brother, anyway?"
9836What in thunder does it all mean?"
9836What price are Anglo- French?"
9836What price are Anglo- French?...
9836What the devil have you got to do with it?"
9836What the hell do they want you for?"
9836What you want here, mistress?"
9836What''s the figure?"
9836What?...
9836Where are the enemies''ears to come from, I should like to know?"
9836Where are you dining?"
9836Where do I go?"
9836Where do you come in, anyway?
9836Where is it?"
9836Which do you think would be better for America-- That Germany and Austria won this war, or the Allies?"
9836Who''s speaking?"
9836Who?"
9836Why are you here?"
9836Why could n''t you tell me that Lady Ridlingshawe was your cousin?
9836Why do n''t you hand the formula over to the British, and give them a chance to get ahead?"
9836Why do n''t you try one of the summer hotels on Long Island?"
9836Why not Oscar Fischer?
9836Why not let Fischer do the business?
9836Why not wait till next week?
9836Why not?
9836Why should n''t England have the advantage from her navy?"
9836Will you accept our mission?
9836Will you go back to Tokio and see the Emperor?"
9836Will you have a Western bishop or a rather dull Englishman?"
9836Will you marry me, please, Miss Van Teyl?"
9836Will you marry me?"
9836Will you sit down, please?"
9836Will you stand by the girls for a moment, Lutchester, while I have a look round?"
9836Would you care to be branded as a spy?--you, a daughter of France?"
9836Yes?"
9836You answer China?
9836You are not angry with me?"
9836You are not going to suggest that we do n''t turn the police on to that damned place?"
9836You are staying with your uncle and aunt in Washington, are you not?
9836You are willing to face that?"
9836You ca n''t suggest that I am to leave these fellows alone and not give information to the police?"
9836You have forgotten that, eh?"
9836You have fully considered everything, I presume-- our pledge, for instance, to nominate you as my successor?"
9836You have heard of him?"
9836You know Ed Swindles?"
9836You know Senator Hastings, I suppose?"
9836You know me?"
9836You know that the Baron von Schwerin has a dinner- party?"
9836You know what I done?
9836You know where we met last?
9836You know you stand to net at least half a million, Mr. Lutchester?
9836You remember the Chateau d''Albert?"
9836You understand me?
9836You understand?"
9836You understand?"
9836You want the formula back, do n''t you?"
9836You were at Henry''s were n''t you, on the night the_ Lapland_ sailed?
9836You will be my friend, John?
9836You will finish telling me your experiences another time, wo n''t you?"
9836You will not fight again, eh?
9836You will not leave me all alone?"
9836You''re going to put in an appearance?"
9836You''re not going to tell me that Lutchester''s in the game?
9836You''ve gone through the papers I sent you?"
9836You''ve heard of the Heste case?"
9836You, John?"
9836she cried,"But where did you get it?"
9836she exclaimed, reproachfully,"Wherever have you been hiding?"
9836she repeated...."You and Jimmy?"
9836she whispered,"that you dine alone in a restaurant with an acquaintance?
59126''Am I doing right?''
59126''Will what I fear ever happen?''
59126A fancier of staircases, what do you mean?
59126A go- between?
59126A long, full robe of a sort of sage green----"What material?
59126A tall man, with a beard?
59126About the pillow? 59126 Again or yet?"
59126Ah, is that so? 59126 All equally impossible?"
59126All right; now, what about Mrs. Stannard''s story of overhearing the stuff her husband said to the girl?
59126Alone?
59126Am I afraid of you?
59126And Barry Stannard, what does he think?
59126And Miss Vernon?
59126And Mrs. Stannard had other suitors, who were disappointed at her marriage?
59126And did n''t you?
59126And did that mean nothing to you?
59126And did you do it?
59126And found Miss Vernon already here?
59126And he has a round, smooth- shaven face?
59126And her hands?
59126And her mysterious reading of those sealed papers? 59126 And his jewel collection?
59126And his wife was jealous?
59126And how did the bearer of the box get into the locked room?
59126And how did you think this intruder had entered?
59126And is Mr. Courtenay one of them?
59126And just how did he leave the room? 59126 And kept still when he found those two women were accused?"
59126And left it there?
59126And that would make you give up the case?
59126And the door between open?
59126And the jewels? 59126 And the young lady,--is Barry Stannard a suitor of hers?"
59126And then I went right in, without making a sound----"Did n''t it make a sound as you opened the door?
59126And then he put them away, where?
59126And then you suspected me?
59126And then, when she got a chance, she changed it, and, why,_ why_ would she do this, except to inherit-- at once?
59126And then, you think, Mr. Stannard, that this intruder turned off the lights and made his exit just before the ladies entered the room?
59126And then?
59126And to whom else was he attracted?
59126And to whom were these remarks that you overheard, addressed?
59126And when you entered the room was it light or dark?
59126And when you first saw her?
59126And who do you think that was?
59126And who is the criminal?
59126And why have you changed your mind since?
59126And you did n''t resent it?
59126And you do n''t think I changed that will?
59126And you expect me to recommend somebody?
59126And you fell for that?
59126And you had it on when you sat on the bench?
59126And you were''Goldenheart''?
59126And you will go to the police and tell them this?
59126And young Stannard persisted?
59126And, do you not think, Mrs. Stannard, that he would have said that to shield you both, even if one had been guilty?
59126And, tell me, did you hear the click of the switch as the light went out?
59126Are the jewels all there? 59126 Are you apt with your pencil, Miss Vernon?
59126Are you going to stay here long?
59126Are you satisfied?
59126Are you sure it all occurred at half past eleven?
59126Are you sure that''s what he said?
59126As if she had just come in from that room?
59126At any rate, it is not the rough dress of a tramp or burglar?
59126At what time did you leave the Stannard house that night?
59126At what time did you reach home? 59126 Barry, Eugene Courtenay did n''t kill Eric, did he?"
59126Barry, what are you afraid of? 59126 Barry,"cried Joyce,"what are you saying?
59126But any reason why she should dislike him, or wish him ill?
59126But did n''t you know the sum he mentioned in his will? 59126 But do n''t you see?
59126But he was in love with you?
59126But how can we think that a man entered at that window,said Lamson,"when we notice how it is filled with furniture and apparatus?"
59126But how could she turn off the lights?
59126But how do you explain the various clues pointing to Natalie?
59126But how do you know? 59126 But how?"
59126But in her case you know of instances?
59126But it was dark, how could you see her?
59126But it was supernatural to read the sealed messages as she did?
59126But ought n''t her powers of second sight, if she has such, reveal to her the identity of the man? 59126 But suppose she did see him, and chooses to deny it for his sake?"
59126But the lights went out?
59126But why would Mr. Wadsworth do that?
59126But you and Miss Vernon are good friends? 59126 But you are sure you did know when the studio lights went out?"
59126But you do n''t think I-- forged it-- do you, Barry?
59126But you do not think so?
59126But you feel sure, at this moment, that it was not Miss Vernon who killed your husband?
59126But, if I may ask, sir,said Miller, respectfully,"how could a murderer see to strike such a blow in a dark room?
59126By Jove,he broke out,"how can I tell you the straight truth?
59126By means of a material switch?
59126By rapping and tipping tables?
59126Ca n''t I help?
59126Ca n''t you understand, Mr. Roberts? 59126 Can we do anything to- night?"
59126Can you remember about the light going out and the cry for help,--and all that, exactly?
59126Can you take a case, Mr. Ford? 59126 Captain,"Bobsy would say,"do you see that point?"
59126Chances of what?
59126Could it not have been a suicide?
59126Could not a burglar have entered by a window, attempted robbery, and, being discovered, stabbed Mr. Stannard in self- preservation?
59126Could this be the way of it?
59126Could you see me from here?
59126Dear heart, ca n''t you learn to look to me to cheer that loneliness?
59126Did Mr. Stannard leave you anything in his will?
59126Did he know who stabbed him?
59126Did n''t you have them all the time?
59126Did she faint?
59126Did you hear your name?
59126Did you kill him, Natalie?
59126Did you not know of it before Mr. Stiles told you?
59126Did you see Mr. Courtenay on that stone bench there?
59126Did you?
59126Directly behind him?
59126Do I understand, Mr. Roberts, you mean that I-- let us speak plainly-- that I killed Eric Stannard?
59126Do n''t you know why he did that?
59126Do the police know that?
59126Do they all obey one switch?
59126Do you believe in mejums, Cap?
59126Do you know anything about a changed figure in Eric''s will?
59126Do you know where your father kept his jewels?
59126Do you suppose I wanted that money? 59126 Does it seem to be evening dress?"
59126Double skirt?
59126Down to the Italian gardens?
59126Drapery hanging from the shoulders?
59126Evidence? 59126 Find out something about the mysteries that are growing deeper and more numerous all the time?"
59126Had he a hat on?
59126Had you on a hat?
59126Have I told you so?
59126Have you a photograph of the subject in life?
59126Have you heard about the will?
59126Have you noticed anything peculiar about this will?
59126He is not masked?
59126He showed them to Mr. Truxton, that evening?
59126His sleeping room is above the studio?
59126How can I help you, Miss Vernon?
59126How can I tell that? 59126 How can I?
59126How can you ask? 59126 How could I know it?
59126How could he have entered?
59126How could she help seeing him?
59126How could she?
59126How did they get there?
59126How did you get here?
59126How do you know anybody did?
59126How do you know he said, or tried to say,''Neither Joyce nor Natalie''?
59126How do you know it is big and high?
59126How do you know it wo n''t? 59126 How do you know she does?
59126How do you know?
59126How do you know?
59126How do you mean?
59126How is he dressed?
59126How long was the light out?
59126How should I know? 59126 How was she standing?"
59126How, queer?
59126How?
59126I do n''t know,she said, blankly,"how could I?"
59126I do n''t know_ what_ to do-- I''ve no one to ask, no one to confide in----"Ca n''t you tell me?
59126I know it,and Joyce shook her head,"but if you do n''t advise me the way I want you to, I''ll----""Ask somebody else?"
59126I saw Mr. Stannard first, at the other end of the room, in his favourite big chair, and he was like a man dying----"Have you ever seen a man die?
59126I was on that bench all the time, till I went home----"Did you see any one, any servant or gardener, perhaps, who can vouch for your story?
59126I-- heard a strange sound, Madame,--from the studio----"A strange sound?
59126I? 59126 If I were, would I be apt to tell you?"
59126If Mrs. Stannard had had any angry words with her husband just before he was attacked, could you have overheard them?
59126If she was a fake, how did she read those papers in the dark?
59126In Orienta? 59126 In that case, who could have stabbed my husband?
59126In the dark?
59126In the dark?
59126In what ways did Miss Vernon incur Mr. Stannard''s displeasure?
59126Ink or pencil?
59126Is he wearing a hat? 59126 Is it enough?"
59126Is it possible? 59126 Is n''t it better to leave the whole thing a mystery?"
59126Is that so? 59126 Is there a hat on the table?
59126It could n''t have been collusion, eh, Steele?
59126It only opens in those high, upper sections, by cords, do n''t you see?
59126It''s all one house,--there''s no division?
59126It''s funny to have two names alike, is n''t it?
59126Joyce,she said, at last,"why are you good to me?
59126Joyce,she said, staring at her with big blue eyes,"where did those jewels come from?"
59126Just what do you mean?
59126Let me see,said Barry,"what were the words?"
59126Like a moving picture?
59126Looking terrified?
59126May I come in?
59126May I come in?
59126May I look at it?
59126May I not have my conditions complied with?
59126May I not stay there with you?
59126May I take the little electric, Joyce, and drive it myself?
59126May n''t I see it?
59126May n''t we see them?
59126May we ask questions?
59126May we speak?
59126Meaning, of course, that you two women were innocent, and that some other hand had struck the blow?
59126Might not Mr. Stannard''s objection to his son''s suit have been prompted by his own admiration for the lovely nature?
59126Might she not have come in just as you did, attracted by that strange sound, as of a man in pain?
59126Might what, dear?
59126Miss Vernon, will you tell your story?
59126Miss Vernon?
59126Mr. Courtenay had just left you?
59126Mr. Roberts,she said, suddenly,"if I wish to go away from this house, is there any reason I should not do so?"
59126Mr. Stannard was slow, then?
59126Mrs. Faulkner, will you give us your version of these events?
59126Mrs. Faulkner? 59126 Mrs. Stannard is his second wife, is she not?"
59126Mrs. Stannard made no objection to this?
59126Mrs. Truxton, the jewel collector?
59126Must I tell that?
59126Must it have been led up to?
59126Must you?
59126Need I be?
59126No chance for a confederate?
59126No law ought to make you do anything you do n''t want to,he said smiling;"but suppose it''s to your own advantage to talk?"
59126No, I probably shouldn''t-- but, Eugene, it was n''t you? 59126 No, he has a long, thin face----""Can you see his face, then?"
59126No, why? 59126 No,"she returned;"what do you mean?"
59126No; why should I? 59126 Nobody could have come in at the Billiard Room door?"
59126Nor any of the men?
59126Not his face, but an indication of his profile----"Then is he clean- shaven?
59126Now was Miss Vernon there and were these words addressed to her? 59126 Now, as to the other ladies, Mrs. Stannard and Miss Vernon?"
59126Now, is there any trap door?
59126Of course, I believe in life after death----"But do you think the dead can return and communicate with us?
59126Oh, I couldn''t-- and yet who else could it have been? 59126 Oh, Mr. Ford,"and Natalie gave a little gasp,"do you really think, then, it was Mr. Stannard''s spirit that I heard in the studio?
59126Oh, Natalie, how can I say? 59126 Oh, does any one think it was you?"
59126Oh, he kept saying, Bobsy did,''Has he a pointed beard?'' 59126 Oh, ho,"was his self- communing,"sits the wind in that quarter?
59126Oh, yes,cried Natalie,"how was that done?"
59126On the soft, thick rug?
59126Once again, Mrs. Faulkner, you attach no significance to the words,''Natalie, not Joyce,''which Blake quotes Mr. Stannard as saying?
59126One moment; was the Billiard Room lighted?
59126Physically, you mean?
59126Pointed or full?
59126Pointing toward Miss Vernon, you mean?
59126Really? 59126 Saw her kill him?"
59126Servants or the others?
59126Shall I read these in the dark or in the light?
59126She is fond of you both?
59126She really read them, then, by clairvoyant sight?
59126Spiritualism?
59126Spooks?
59126Suppose it was some one she did n''t know?
59126Swear falsely?
59126Tampered with?
59126Tell him to come some other time?
59126That seems to let Blake out, does n''t it? 59126 That wax baby?"
59126That''s why you altered the will in Miss Vernon''s favour?
59126That, then, could scarcely be construed into a motive for murder?
59126The Billiard Room was lighted?
59126The Stannard case?
59126The innocent one, too?
59126The rest in the light?
59126The servants saw no stranger, in any sort of garb?
59126Then I heard a strange, gasping sound, and I rushed in----"Was the room light then?
59126Then Mrs. Stannard and Mr. Courtenay went into the Billiard Room?
59126Then how did she read those questions, Barry? 59126 Then how do you know how one would look?"
59126Then is he innocent, Beatrice? 59126 Then some one could have passed you-- you would n''t have heard a soft step?"
59126Then what are you doing here? 59126 Then who did?"
59126Then why the act?
59126Then you assume premeditation?
59126Then you refuse to tell me?
59126Then you suspect some one?
59126There was no one else at dinner?
59126They came toward him, too, and Mrs. Stannard took hold of his hand----"Well?
59126They wo n''t arrest me, will they?
59126This is signed Beatrice Faulkner, and it says,''Where are the lost jewels?'' 59126 To New York?"
59126To whom then?
59126To whom, then?
59126Turned it on? 59126 Until you heard the sounds from the studio?"
59126Ventriloquism?
59126Wait, what about that conversation Mrs. Stannard overheard? 59126 Was he in the hall?"
59126Was it?
59126Was she looking at you, as you left?
59126Was the door of your bedroom locked?
59126Was the door open?
59126Well, can you imagine that little girl having nerve enough for all that? 59126 Well, do you, as a reputable lawyer, admit that you overlook a palpable fraud like that?"
59126Well, sir, I could n''t help it, sir-- I blurted out,''Who did this?'' 59126 Well, suppose he stabbed Mr. Stannard, then turned off the light, and then slipped out through the Billiard Room when Joyce''s back was turned?"
59126Well, then, what was the first thing you saw?
59126Well, what about it?
59126Well, who is the man? 59126 Well?"
59126Well?
59126Well?
59126Well?
59126What about the dying words of the man, and also, what about that letter to the model?
59126What about the letter found in the desk?
59126What are you doing?
59126What are you going to do?
59126What are you talking about?
59126What can I do for you?
59126What can it be? 59126 What can we do, Mr. Ford?
59126What could she tell me? 59126 What did she hope to gain by her trance performance?"
59126What did you do after leaving the room?
59126What did you think ailed him?
59126What do you mean?
59126What do you mean?
59126What do you mean?
59126What do you suppose she does? 59126 What does Barry say?"
59126What for?
59126What has become of your portrait painted on the staircase?
59126What is it?
59126What is it?
59126What is your wish?
59126What makes you think so?
59126What may I call you?
59126What next?
59126What possessed the child?
59126What shall we do?
59126What was going on at the house when you went back?
59126What was her good reason?
59126What was it, then?
59126What was she doing?
59126What will Barry say? 59126 What''s that, Natalie?
59126What?
59126When Joyce turned on the lights----"Who turned them off?
59126Where are these jewels?
59126Where did they come from? 59126 Where is Miss Vernon?"
59126Where is he?
59126Where is the fancied alteration?
59126Where next?
59126Where were the gems this morning?
59126Where were you just before you came down the stairs and saw Blake?
59126Where''s Barry?
59126Which was first, the sound or the sudden darkness?
59126Which way?
59126Whichever did it, or whoever did it, had to cross to the other end of the room to turn off the lights, did n''t she?
59126Who changed it?
59126Who did this, sir?
59126Who did, do you think?
59126Who did?
59126Who do you think put them there?
59126Who does know the whereabouts of those kept in the house?
59126Who is he?
59126Who is?
59126Who knows it?
59126Who thinks so?
59126Who was the man?
59126Who were the guests at dinner?
59126Who will benefit financially by his death?
59126Who, then?
59126Whom did you see?
59126Whom shall I ask?
59126Why ca n''t you trust me?
59126Why did n''t she know it?
59126Why did she do this? 59126 Why did you think it would accuse a stranger?
59126Why do you ask that?
59126Why do you condemn her because of that?
59126Why do you stay in this room, Barry? 59126 Why have n''t you been here?"
59126Why not as you did before?
59126Why not assume that the intruder also took the jewels?
59126Why not by coming in the Terrace door, and passing Natalie instead of me?
59126Why not? 59126 Why should a great detective talk about such foolish details as large or small rooms?
59126Why would anybody? 59126 Why, it was silk, I think,--yes, heavy silk, was n''t it, Joyce?"
59126Why, what could it mean?
59126Why, what has happened? 59126 Why?"
59126Why?
59126Will it always work?
59126Will these do?
59126Will they let her?
59126Will you get some paper and envelopes?
59126Will you tell us then something of the personal relations of this household? 59126 Will you try me first on some outside matters or shall we proceed at once to the question of the mystery we seek to solve?"
59126With what?
59126With whom?
59126Without a word?
59126Would n''t you care if I had committed-- crime?
59126Would you have turned it on, if Mrs. Faulkner had n''t told you to?
59126Yes, and----"And what?
59126Yes, but what way did she use?
59126Yes, sir, he spoke-- sort of whispered, in a gasping way----"And what did he say?
59126Yes, you understand that?
59126Yes; now whom did you leave in the studio, when you and Mr. Wadsworth and the Truxtons went out of it?
59126Yet, you are willing to believe that Miss Vernon is the criminal we are seeking?
59126You accuse me?
59126You are interested?
59126You are prepared to swear that Miss Vernon was in the room before you were?
59126You are sure of this?
59126You are sure?
59126You came down stairs just as Blake was peeping in at the door?
59126You did n''t love Eric, did you?
59126You heard the words,said Natalie to Beatrice Faulkner;"does it seem to you he meant that?"
59126You invited him, yourself, to the sà © ance?
59126You killed Stannard?
59126You know all?
59126You know he left you a large sum of money?
59126You know nothing of the change in the will, then, Miss Vernon?
59126You know the main details, then?
59126You left her there? 59126 You left me here,--where did you go, Barry?"
59126You liked her? 59126 You mean if she knows it?"
59126You mean, if you had been guilty, he would have shielded you, rather than accused you with his last breath?
59126You mean, the jewels appeared there mysteriously?
59126You previously owned this house, did you not?
59126You say he is dark? 59126 You say you''ve thought of him before?"
59126You stayed near the house?
59126You suspect I killed my husband?
59126You swear this?
59126You told Orienta to say that Mr. Stannard said''Neither Natalie_ nor_ Joyce.''?
59126You went out at the front door?
59126You were not?
59126You were surprised when the light was turned on to see the two women there?
59126You were the first to discover your master''s dead body?
59126You wo n''t let them, will you, Barry?
59126You''re sure Barry knows?
59126You''re sure of this?
59126You''re sure the jewels were not here on the table when you went out of the room?
59126Your power is occult, then?
59126_ Just_ the same?
59126''Who did this?''
59126A dark beard?
59126A heavy one?"
59126A little awed, Coroner Lamson asked:"Do you corroborate the story as just related by Blake, the footman?"
59126A soft rustle, as of wings?"
59126After the conversation we had just had, were you thinking of the dogs instead of me?"
59126An important murder case?"
59126And Eric told me----""What, Natalie?"
59126And I must ask you why you stabbed him?
59126And I was so mad, I flew into a rage, and----""And scratched up your picture?"
59126And Mr. Stannard-- he said----""_ Said!_ Spoke?"
59126And Mrs. Faulkner, she came toward him----""And the two ladies behind him?"
59126And Mrs. Faulkner, she knew nothing of it all?"
59126And did Mr. Barry Stannard want her to come?"
59126And for whom?
59126And he went away----""Where?"
59126And how am I to know that you''re not telling me this to save him?"
59126And in a furious moment of surprised indignation, what might not a woman do?
59126And the criminal?
59126And the emeralds to Mrs. Stannard last week?"
59126And the house staff, too, if necessary?"
59126And then, Mrs. Faulkner came down?"
59126And then, as if his doubts were of little consequence, she said,"Shall I proceed?"
59126And what could a confederate do?
59126And what did you hear?"
59126And who else is to be considered?"
59126And yet, was she a faker?
59126And you can read sealed messages in the dark?"
59126And, also, might not Natalie merely have patterned her recital after that of Joyce?
59126And, supposing he did commit crime to steal Mr. Stannard''s jewels, just how did he get away afterward, without discovery?"
59126And-- suppose he did do it----""Kill Eric?
59126Anyway, where could she go to have a light?
59126Are any missing?"
59126Are you frightening her, Mr. Roberts?
59126Are you going to-- do you care for him, Beatrice?"
59126Barry?"
59126Beatrice looked at the girl, and said,"Did you do it, Natalie?
59126Beatrice, who could have done it?"
59126Beg her to stay as long as I do,--won''t you, dear?"
59126Blake said,''Who did this?''
59126Brutal?
59126But I, too, shrink from the awful publicity and the harrowing experience we must go through,--Beatrice, what do you think?"
59126But Miss Vernon, may we not have a few words with her?
59126But are you sure you want him to know what I may reveal?
59126But could an indignant girl go so far as to kill an artist who had drawn her in a way she did n''t care to be portrayed?
59126But could she do that?
59126But do n''t you see where the knowledge of her act leads us?"
59126But how, then, explain their return?"
59126But is n''t it quite as likely that the girl did the stabbing?"
59126But never mind that now; tell me, did you say Alan Ford is coming?"
59126But now-- Eric''s death----""Oh, yes, you stood right there, when your attention was first drawn to the footman''s queer actions, did n''t you?"
59126But when you said if the spirit manifestation appeared in the studio to- night-- that was a trap, was n''t it?"
59126But where did you tramp?"
59126But who corroborates that?"
59126But why a servant?
59126But why not consider Mr. Truxton?
59126But, after all, might n''t Goldenheart be Joyce herself?
59126But, man, alive, how could I get in and out of that room?
59126But, tell me, what do you think of Miss Vernon''s story of the spirit manifestations in this room?"
59126By silent communion, or by a restless haunting of places they used to occupy?
59126Ca n''t you tell me what to do?"
59126Can I ask her to marry a murderer?"
59126Can it be that he came back at Natalie''s wish?"
59126Can you do this?"
59126Can you tell us anything that will help clear the innocent or indicate the criminal?"
59126Can you think of any reason why Miss Vernon would desire your husband''s death?"
59126Could anything be plainer?"
59126Could n''t that be true?"
59126Could you draw a rough sketch of that gown?"
59126Courtenay?"
59126Courtenay?"
59126Courtenay?"
59126Courtenay?"
59126Cruel?
59126Dear heart, ca n''t you leave this house?
59126Dear, when will you marry me?"
59126Did n''t he leave you just about that time?"
59126Did not your late husband feel this?"
59126Did she describe him further?"
59126Did she tell you?"
59126Did she?"
59126Did somebody change the text?"
59126Did you change the will?"
59126Did you ever see it?"
59126Did you have to defend yourself?
59126Did you hear that voice clearly?"
59126Did you know where they were all the time?"
59126Did you not hear that?"
59126Did you return those last night?
59126Did you see Miss Vernon strike the blow?"
59126Did you?"
59126Do n''t you know how some women succumb to cave- man wooing?
59126Do n''t you know we are all watched-- whatever we do or wherever we go?"
59126Do n''t you know what I mean?
59126Do n''t you see?
59126Do n''t you want to save Eugene?"
59126Do you fear any revelation she may make?"
59126Do you know of any one who fulfils those conditions?"
59126Do you know the identity of''Goldenheart''?"
59126Do you know who did the forgery?"
59126Do you know who stabbed your father?"
59126Do you suspect the footman Blake of any connivance-- or of any wrong doing in the whole matter?"
59126Do you think I am enough of a sensitive to bring about a real manifestation?"
59126Do you want her to?"
59126Do you wonder that I thought she had done something wrong?
59126Do you, Beatrice?"
59126Faulkner?"
59126Faulkner?"
59126Faulkner?"
59126Faulkner?"
59126Faulkner?"
59126Faulkner?"
59126Faulkner?"
59126Ford?"
59126Go into trances?"
59126Go to your room for a time, do n''t you want to?
59126Had Joyce laid a trap?
59126Had he asked you to pose in any way to which you were unwilling to consent?
59126Had he insisted, after you refused?
59126Had he never told you?"
59126Had the experiment really proved so much more successful than she had dared to hope?
59126Had to say, in curt, accusing tones,"Then how do you explain Mr. Stannard''s dying words,''Natalie, not Joyce!''?"
59126Has she had them all the time?"
59126Have n''t you heard about her?
59126Have you a warrant for my arrest?"
59126Have you never heard of seemingly incriminatory evidence of one leading straight to another?"
59126Have you talked with her on this subject?"
59126Have you the plans of it?
59126Have you told Roberts?"
59126He had boldly written,"Who killed Eric Stannard?"
59126He hears the servant say,''Who did this?''
59126He said,"When you came in in the darkness, Mrs. Stannard, how did you avoid stumbling over the chairs and stands in your way?
59126Her rosy palm lifted in protest, she said,"Why do you believe Mrs. Stannard''s story and not mine?
59126How can we distinguish which one tells the truth?"
59126How could any one walk through that and leave no track?"
59126How could they have been brought in without your knowing it?"
59126How dare you imply such a thing?
59126How did she know she was wanted?"
59126How did they get there?"
59126How do you know?"
59126How do you suppose the jewels came to be on that table?"
59126How long before?"
59126I believe they go for a trot every night, do n''t they, Blake?"
59126I called his attention to it, and he said,''Changed figures?
59126I can-- Mr. Ford, you believe me, do n''t you?"
59126I do n''t believe in those things, but-- well-- do you?"
59126I do n''t believe they''d let you----""Why not?
59126I flew across and turned off the lights as a precautionary measure, and then----""Then how did you get out?"
59126I had been in the Billiard Room for some time, ever since dinner, in fact----""Alone?"
59126I know Eric, and oh, Natalie, I tried so hard to be good, and to do my duty-- but Eugene was always around, you know-- and, must I confess it?
59126I mean, how are you going to attempt it?"
59126I mean, you were the first to enter the room after the man was stabbed?"
59126I need n''t ever pose again, need I, Barry?"
59126I thought she had killed him, and had sort of stepped back, you know----""Why did you change your mind?"
59126I was just thinking about Natalie, and then Halpin came running out and told me to come in the house, my father was ill.""And you went right in?"
59126I was so scared to see Eric,--Mr. Stannard, dead or dying, and his wife standing there as if she had just----""Just what?
59126I was----""Yes?"
59126If I ca n''t have the original-- yet-- will you give me the duplicate?"
59126If I see to it, that the police are fully informed of my evidence regarding Courtenay, will you get away at once?"
59126If Mrs. Stannard is the guilty person, you want it known, do n''t you?"
59126If he is not the criminal?"
59126If he''d said,''has n''t he red hair and freckles?''
59126In it he has written,''Are you a fraud?''
59126Inheritance?
59126Is he?"
59126Is n''t that Courtenay?"
59126Is not that valuable?"
59126It had been really turned off, then?"
59126It helps a little to know you are sorry for me----""How did Orienta read the papers?
59126It is not your business if lights in rooms are turned off or on, is it?"
59126It seems to me, if the spirit of Mr. Stannard could return to earth and manifest itself in any way, it would prove----""Prove what?"
59126It was light then?"
59126It was this, then, that attracted the attention of Mrs. Stannard and Miss Vernon, and they entered at about the same time?"
59126Joyce and I sat facing it----""Your backs to the hall door, then?"
59126Joyce, how could you ever marry him?"
59126Joyce, you agree with me, do n''t you?"
59126Just what do you want to know?"
59126Killed him?"
59126Look here, Joyce, you did n''t employ that woman to cook up a yarn, did you?"
59126Look here, Mr. Roberts, why do n''t you suspect Mr. Truxton?
59126Look here, Natalie, did you know Eric had left you such a big bequest?"
59126May I have a glimpse of it?"
59126May I speak to your outdoor servants?
59126May n''t I kiss you once-- just once, Joyce?"
59126Might n''t she have done it?"
59126Motive?
59126Mrs. Stannard says she heard no other voice, so may he not have been alone in the studio at that time?"
59126Must it be two years?
59126Must it go to strangers?"
59126Natalie, be careful, wo n''t you?"
59126Natalie, have you any idea how beautiful you are?"
59126No proof to adduce that you were just where you claim to have been when the studio was darkened?"
59126Now nobody could have entered at the hall door where you were, Blake?"
59126Now we have accounted for----""What''s the gallery for?"
59126Now, Miss Vernon, when you heard the groan or sigh as if the spirit of Mr. Stannard were expressing itself, where did the sound come from?"
59126Now, brace up, Sweetheart, for I want to talk to you about lots of things, and how can I, if you burst into tears at every new subject I bring up?"
59126Now, did you hear any other sound,--a click or thud,--after the light went out?"
59126Now, how shall we go about proving it?"
59126Now, just to what extent do you_ know_ you''re a psychic?
59126Now, listen; if Joyce killed Eric,--I do n''t say she did, but if she did, why ca n''t we just hush up the matter, and pry into it no more?
59126Now, look here, if that note had been written to me, would n''t it mean that these emeralds were mine, and would n''t I claim them?"
59126Now, once again, which?
59126Now, the question is,_ which_ one?"
59126Now, which of the two acted the part of guilt?
59126Now, which?"
59126Now, who else has these leanings toward spirit forces beside you?
59126Now, why does n''t Mr. Courtenay see her, as he sits on that lawn seat yonder?"
59126Now, why have n''t you made it known?
59126Oh, Joyce, what does it all mean?"
59126Oh, ca n''t you manage somehow?"
59126Oh, what can we do?"
59126Oh, why--_why_ did I ever have Madame Orienta come here?
59126On a chair?"
59126Opportunity?
59126Or, that Joyce, in a jealous rage, had resented the portrait?
59126Past which woman did he go?"
59126Placing his lips to the wall itself, Ford said in a clear low whisper,"Will you come out?"
59126Shall I answer?"
59126Shall I ask him?"
59126Shall I go now?"
59126Shall I ring?"
59126Shall we say this is an invented story of hers?"
59126She insists it was some stranger-- and, it wasn''t-- I mean-- oh-- what am I saying?
59126She ran at once to Mrs. Faulkner''s room----""Where is that room?"
59126She stumbled up the stairs----""Why, did you see her?"
59126She----""Miss Vernon, if you came into the room in the dark, how could you effect an entrance without upsetting something?
59126So wo n''t you stay a while longer, until we see how things are going?
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Still with her eyes closed, she held it out toward him, and read,"''Will the truth ever be known?''"
59126Tell me, do you believe at all in spiritism?"
59126Tell me, wo n''t you?"
59126That Natalie, in a fit of anger at Eric, had destroyed his picture of her?
59126The Coroner almost gasped, but fearing to check the flow of speech that promised so much, he said, quietly,"Did you hear anything further?"
59126The North window is out of the question, eh?"
59126The jewels are here-- isn''t it marvellous, Joyce?
59126The pocket- light method?"
59126The rest you know?"
59126The simplicity of the girl''s manner almost disarmed Bobsy, but he went on:"Mrs. Stannard, then, has no hard feelings toward you?"
59126The studio doors were locked----""While you and Mrs. Stannard were in there?"
59126The two Truxtons went home, and at the same time Mr. Wadsworth and I went up to the Drawing Room----""To be by yourselves?"
59126Then she flew into my room, without knocking----""Is it her custom to knock?"
59126Then she said,"Do n''t spirits ever use material means?"
59126Then somebody, Blake, you know, turned the switch, and I saw Miss Vernon standing by my dying husband''s----""How did you know he was dying?
59126Then what do you want of me?"
59126Then, why was n''t her vision of the-- the scene in the studio, the truth?"
59126There was no sound whatever, was there, Natalie?"
59126This is the first:''Who is Goldenheart?''
59126This is,''Who marred my etched picture?''
59126This was indicative, beyond a doubt; but what was indicated?
59126To whom have you told this story of sitting with your face bowed in the pillow?"
59126Unless,--I hate to say it,--but might n''t Blake have let him out?"
59126VIII The Emeralds"You mean?"
59126Was Mr. Stannard in love with his pretty model?"
59126Was he tyrannical?
59126Was his spirit still hovering about the place it had last been in the flesh?
59126Was it a worthwhile amount?"
59126Was it because you had said something to her that caused her emotion?"
59126Was it on an impulse of sudden anger or indignation?"
59126Was she feeling ill?"
59126Was she innocent or was she an infant Machiavelli?
59126We sat right there by Eric''s chair-- and Eric was present-- we heard him, did n''t we, Joyce?"
59126Well, Blake, which lady do you think did it?"
59126Well, at last, I chanced to be there alone----""Who had been with you latest?"
59126Were n''t your eyes closed?"
59126Were you going to let it pass unnoted?"
59126Were you too absorbed in the spectacle of Mr. Stannard''s plight to see clearly the others who were present?"
59126What about Barry?"
59126What about the words uttered by Mr. Stannard before he died?"
59126What are you going to do, anyway?
59126What can I do?"
59126What can you tell us as to this?"
59126What did you think of your father leaving such an enormous sum to Natalie?"
59126What do you mean, Blake?
59126What do you mean?"
59126What do you mean?"
59126What do you suppose the Police have been doing?
59126What does each of the four think?
59126What else can I call it?"
59126What have you learned that makes you think my testimony of sudden importance?"
59126What is it?"
59126What is it?"
59126What kind of a great detective was this who inquired concerning the texture of a costume?
59126What matter, if Barry Stannard does n''t care?
59126What might they not learn before the evening was over?
59126What shall I do?
59126What was Mrs. Stannard doing, when you left her in the Billiard Room?"
59126What would he learn?
59126What_ are_ you doing?"
59126When I left you, did you keep your head down on that pillow-- or, did you raise it?
59126When can we have an interview with either of them?"
59126When the lights went out, the room was quite still, was it not?"
59126When you came into the studio, because you heard-- what did you hear?"
59126Where are the emeralds?
59126Where are the emeralds?"
59126Where are the other jewels hidden?"
59126Where are you going?"
59126Where did they come from?"
59126Where did you find them, Natalie?"
59126Where did you go next?
59126Where_ did_ I go?"
59126Which first?"
59126Which woman was guilty?
59126Who benefits by this will, aside from the principals?"
59126Who did it?"
59126Who did it?"
59126Who else could it have been?"
59126Who is he?"
59126Who is this man you have in mind?"
59126Who sent for the clairvoyant lady?"
59126Who sent for the clairvoyant?"
59126Who should say which was guilty, the jealous wife or the disappointed girl?
59126Who''d think her capable of such a thing?"
59126Why did n''t her supernatural powers inform her the man''s name?"
59126Why did n''t you tell this before?"
59126Why do you say that?"
59126Why do you stay in a place of such sad memories?"
59126Why do you want to go?"
59126Why not a guest-- or a member of the household,--or-- or Mrs. Stannard, herself?"
59126Why should Barry do it, when he fully intended to marry her?"
59126Why should I see it?"
59126Why should he take an interest in a case because of them?"
59126Why should n''t people light and relight their rooms as they chose?
59126Why should they?
59126Why would he?"
59126Why, if she could tell us who----""Do we want her to?"
59126Why, then, imagine that he would do this desperate thing?"
59126Why, what is the matter, dear?"
59126Why, you''re a kind of a-- how shall I express it?"
59126Why?"
59126Why?"
59126Why?"
59126Why?"
59126Why?"
59126Will you ask questions?"
59126Will you go now, Mrs. Stannard, and please send Miss Vernon in here?"
59126Will you help me?"
59126With scarcely a pause and without hesitation, Orienta went on:"''What can I do to help?''"
59126Wo n''t you refrain from asking it, until after that?"
59126Yet had it been Natalie, would he not have said Goldenrod, especially as he had painted her in that guise?
59126You believe in her supernatural powers?"
59126You believed in her?"
59126You came in through the Billiard Room?"
59126You do n''t mind, do you, Madame Orienta?"
59126You do n''t think Eugene killed Eric, do you?"
59126You do n''t want it, do you?"
59126You entered the studio from the Billiard Room, and saw----?"
59126You have nothing else to tell me?
59126You knew Mr. Stannard years ago?"
59126You knew this?"
59126You know, girl, do n''t you, why I confessed?"
59126You like her?"
59126You must have seen it?"
59126You said you were going upstairs, do n''t you remember?"
59126You saw the footman, Blake, followed by Mrs. Faulkner, enter the room and turn on the light, just as they testified?"
59126You see,--er----""What, Blake?"
59126You see-- it was all so confused----""What was?"
59126You suspected him all the time, did n''t you?"
59126You think I killed Eric----""No, I do n''t, Natalie----But, oh, do n''t you see?
59126You trust me to do only what is best for both of us, do n''t you?"
59126You would n''t have heard any one pass you in the Billiard Room that night, would you, Joyce?"
59126and Natalie clung tremblingly to Barry,"what shall I do?"
59126and''is he tall and dark?''
59126asked Joyce,"and where have you been?"
59126did n''t you hear a faint sound then?
59126he said;"do you realise that it is a grave implication?"
59126said Mrs. Faulkner, looking up from the letter she was writing,"Oh, Joyce, what has happened?"
59126said the Coroner, as gentle toward her now as he had been fierce before,"what does that note to you mean?"
9795''On your own''? 9795 ''That woman''?"
9795A lady? 9795 Ah, my own little girl,"I thought,"who would n''t miss you-- sadly, yes, terribly?
9795Amiss, sir?
9795An aeroplane?
9795And Gastrell and Stapleton are''faces''?
9795And are you-- do your-- your''clients''tell you where the''stuff''comes from?
9795And can you tell me which is Mr. Berrington''s room?
9795And did he do it?
9795And did n''t he give his name?
9795And for how long have you leased him your house in Cumberland Place?
9795And for that you bribed my man, or tried to?
9795And have the police as yet no clues?
9795And have you seen her? 9795 And her hair?"
9795And how do you poach the birds?
9795And how is your lovely and delightful friend-- Dulcie Challoner?
9795And if, later, I decide to join this club,he said presently,"you wo n''t mind proposing me, will you, Easterton?"
9795And may I ask where we are going?
9795And may I ask why you did that?
9795And may I ask,he said,"what you propose to do now?"
9795And now shall I tell you how I come to be here, Mike?
9795And shall I call here for you?
9795And that you wo n''t answer any bell, or knock, nor any telephone, nor show any sign of life till after they''ve been took?
9795And the car that went up the drive, are you sure it was the same?
9795And the other?
9795And then?
9795And they gave you those for nothing?
9795And what are the other reasons?
9795And what if she is? 9795 And when would you make an exception?"
9795And where did Gastrell come from?
9795And you could n''t get through? 9795 And you do n''t call that abuse?"
9795And you killed him?
9795And you mean to say you know nothing about him?
9795And you see yonder cross- roads? 9795 Answer them?
9795Any friend of Cranmere''s is welcome here; one has, of course, to be careful whom one admits on these occasions-- isn''t that so, Cranmere? 9795 Are n''t you Mr. Michael Berrington?"
9795Are you Lord Easterton?
9795Are you aware,Preston said soon after the train had started,"that since we left my house and went to dine in Soho, we have been followed?
9795Are you certain it was suicide?
9795Are you fond of music?
9795Are you going to admit, after all, that you were on the_ Masonic_?
9795Are you hurt?
9795Are you ready to go?
9795Are you speaking to me?
9795At what time do the three people you have just named leave for Paris?
9795Boy,he said sharply,"what address did that gentleman who has just gone tell you to give to his driver?"
9795Bringing you up? 9795 But how can I do that, and why should I do it?"
9795But how did they manage to steal the plate? 9795 But how do you know that Doris Lorrimer has taken the boy to that Hampstead house?"
9795But of what use is your disguise,Albeury cut in quickly,"now that, as I told you, these scoundrels are aware of your identity, or will be very soon?
9795But surely,I said,"the police know of this place?"
9795But tell me,I exclaimed, my brain a whirl,"is what you told me really true: that Osborne has become a victim to the wiles of Jasmine Gastrell?"
9795But what did you mean when you said you wondered if you could treat me as if I were a man?
9795But what makes you say a thing like that? 9795 But what makes you think Miss Challoner is here?"
9795But what on earth has that to do with anything? 9795 But who are the lady and gentleman?
9795But who is she? 9795 But why are you here, father?"
9795But why have you brought me here?
9795But_ why_ is it impossible?
9795By the by,I said suddenly,"have you had supper?"
9795Ca n''t you see I have no further use for you, you little fool?
9795Can you show me the way to room eight eight?
9795Capetown? 9795 Connie,"she cried out impetuously,"why have you suddenly changed?
9795Could you kindly step out for a moment, please, sir?
9795Crisis? 9795 D''you know who that is, that woman who has just come in?"
9795D''you want to be shot? 9795 Dark or fair?"
9795Dead? 9795 Dick,"I said thoughtfully, after a moment''s pause,"were you eavesdropping when you heard all this?"
9795Did he really? 9795 Did he say at all what the men were like?"
9795Did he turn up? 9795 Did he?
9795Did n''t they tell you their plans?
9795Did n''t you hear it?
9795Did n''t you recognize it? 9795 Did she really?"
9795Did she?
9795Did the gardener say anything else? 9795 Did they say when they''d come back?"
9795Did you answer any of them?
9795Do for me?
9795Do n''t you see the likeness?
9795Do n''t you think it''s time you took off that disguise?
9795Do you know him well? 9795 Do you mean in all cases?"
9795Do you mean masquerading as gentlemen?
9795Do you mean now? 9795 Do you remember my sending this telegram this morning?"
9795Do you think it was wise to give it to her?
9795Do you want me for anything?
9795Done what?
9795Dreadfully cold again, is it not?--hein? 9795 Dulcie, have you seen Dick since he arrived here?"
9795Dulcie, what is the meaning of all this? 9795 Dulcie,"I exclaimed firmly,"you are coming with me to- night-- you understand?
9795Father,she exclaimed impetuously,"are you really going to-- are you still determined to marry that woman?"
9795For goodness''sake, father,she exclaimed,"how can you talk like that?
9795Forgive my asking, but are you superstitious?
9795Go where?
9795Going to Paris?
9795Good heavens, man, how do you do it?
9795Good heavens, what is Dick doing up in London? 9795 Had I seen anything of Dulcie?
9795Had a good time?
9795Has Mr. Gastrell come home yet?
9795Has he any idea what the car was like?
9795Has she dark hair or fair?
9795Have the papers come?
9795Have they killed?
9795Have you a reason for wanting to see it?
9795Have you any idea,I asked suddenly,"what became of the companions of the man who meant to kill me?"
9795Have you got them here?
9795Have you heard the dreadful news, sir?
9795Have you his revolver? 9795 Have you informed the police, then?"
9795Have you met his wife?
9795Have you read the account in your paper?
9795Have you reason to suppose that he has something of special interest that he wants to say to me?
9795Have you recovered any of them? 9795 Have you seen the poor fellow?
9795Have you the least idea who and what she is?
9795How came you to be in hiding here?
9795How came you to know of the existence and the whereabouts of the hiding- hole at all?
9795How can I tell?
9795How could I? 9795 How did they identify him?"
9795How do you account for this discrepancy?
9795How do you know that-- I mean what makes you say it?
9795How do you mean--''just as you thought''?
9795How does this telegram you sent off come to be signed if the original was not signed?
9795How many accomplices had you?
9795How many more hours are we going on like this?
9795How much do you want for the information you have given me?
9795I still consider her to be--"Will you let me finish? 9795 I''ll tell you, but-- won''t you introduce me, Mike?"
9795I? 9795 Idea?"
9795If she is all that you now say she is, how came you to remain so intimate with her all this time?
9795Indeed, sir?
9795Indeed?
9795Indeed?
9795Indeed?
9795Is anything the matter?
9795Is it safe to let them go?
9795Is n''t he lying?
9795Is she here to- night?
9795Is she on this train?
9795Is that Miss Dulcie? 9795 Is this Mr. Berrington, madam?"
9795It is ridiculous to suppose that a man and woman ca n''t be friends without-- without--"Yes?
9795Jasmine, if only you would... oh, yes, that is all I ask, all I want, my darling woman, all I... you remember it all, do n''t you? 9795 Like it?
9795Like? 9795 May I see the list?"
9795May I use your telephone, darling Dulcie?
9795Meaning of what?
9795Meet you there? 9795 Miss Challoner?
9795Monsieur will not object?
9795Mr. Berrington, have you ever been in love?
9795Murder? 9795 Must you?"
9795My darling,I murmured,"is there any miracle that love is n''t able to accomplish?
9795Newspaper advertisements, are n''t they?
9795No-- what?
9795Of whom are you speaking?
9795Oh, so you know him?
9795Oh, yes, Mike, of course I know,she said, pressing my hands in hers, as though she sought protection,"but there is--""There is what?"
9795Oh-- Mike, tell me, are they Holland guns?
9795Quite well,Jack Osborne answered,"Do n''t you?
9795Recognize whom?
9795Remember what?
9795Robbery?
9795See those men?
9795Shall I unmount you, Dulcie?
9795She is capital company and all that, but--"But what?
9795Should you propose him if he asked you?
9795So?
9795Superstitious? 9795 Supposing that I could induce Miss Challoner to come away,"he said suddenly,"would you come then?"
9795Supposing that you were not to become my brother- in- law, as you seem so fond of calling me, would you be sorry?
9795Surely, Aunt Hannah,I almost shouted-- so excited did I feel-- as I again turned to her,"you ca n''t think I sent that telegram?"
9795Suspect anything?
9795Tell me, Dick, is that true-- what you say about her being so awfully fond of me?
9795That''s just how I feel, and yet--"Well?
9795That?
9795That?
9795Then he was on board on-- let me think-- ten days or so ago?
9795Then who does live here?
9795Then why did you deny it?
9795Then why do you talk about not becoming my brother- in- law? 9795 Then why were you not released?"
9795Then why worry?
9795Under what circumstances?
9795Was anybody with her?
9795Was the man who deserted you the man who deliberately strained my boy''s arm by twisting it?
9795We''ve a trap set for the whole crew, more than twenty of them in all, and if you warn that woman she''ll tell the rest and then--"Well, what?
9795Well, Jack,I said lightly, though somehow I felt uneasy,"what do you make of it, old man?"
9795Well, Mr. Berrington,he said calmly, without looking round or moving,"what can I do for you?"
9795Well, and what did you do then?
9795Well, what?
9795Well, what?
9795Well, why should they? 9795 Well,"I said, feeling considerably relieved,"what have you come to see me about?"
9795Well?
9795Were you really?
9795What about?
9795What can an aeroplane have to do with the gang, or they with it? 9795 What circumstances, Mike?"
9795What did you hear?
9795What do you make of it, Michael?
9795What do you make of it?
9795What do you make of it?
9795What do you make of them, Dick-- anything?
9795What do you mean?
9795What do you suggest ought to be done?
9795What do you want to see me about?
9795What do you want, Churchill?
9795What do you want, Michael Berrington?
9795What do you want?
9795What do you want?
9795What fire was there at Maresfield Gardens?
9795What has this affair to do with me? 9795 What have you come for?
9795What is he like? 9795 What is his name?"
9795What is the colour of the hair of this woman who has so set your heart on end?
9795What is the matter?
9795What is to be done?
9795What on earth are those about, old boy?
9795What puzzles me is-- why did they want to bring me here?
9795What was it?
9795What was the actual value of the things stolen?
9795What was the man like?
9795What would be the good?
9795What''s amiss, Simon?
9795What''s the commotion in Grafton Street?
9795What''s what?
9795What''s your code-- Morse?
9795What''s your name?
9795What''s''a deal''?
9795What?
9795When did I abuse her? 9795 When did he disappear?"
9795When did he find it?
9795When did you leave England?
9795Where did you run across him first?
9795Where was he last seen?
9795Whereabouts is he?
9795Who are you?
9795Who fired that shot?
9795Who is it?
9795Who is it?
9795Who is it?
9795Who is it?
9795Who is the girl in the brown habit?
9795Who would send a telegram signed with your name but you, or someone instructed by you?
9795Whom are you carrying? 9795 Whom do you mean by''The Four Faces''?"
9795Whom do you mean by''that woman''?
9795Why are they known as''The Four Faces''?
9795Why do n''t you answer?
9795Why do n''t you tell me everything, my darling?
9795Why do n''t you try?
9795Why do you say''yes''like that? 9795 Why in the world not?
9795Why not leave Miss Challoner to me? 9795 Why not stop here a moment?"
9795Why not? 9795 Why, is n''t she at home?"
9795Why, what do you mean?
9795Why, what is it?
9795Why?
9795Why?
9795Will I? 9795 Will you show me the purse?"
9795Wo n''t you switch on the light?
9795Wo n''t you tell me how you do it?
9795Would to- morrow morning suit you, dear?
9795Yes what?
9795Yes? 9795 Yes?"
9795You are going to marry Dulcie, are n''t you? 9795 You are?
9795You do n''t remember who it was told you my address?
9795You do n''t want to see her, I suppose? 9795 You have the word of a dying man, and that''s all; and what is there that you can prove against this man Gastrell-- at present?
9795You know him, do n''t you?
9795You know the men of the gang by sight?
9795You propose to go there alone?
9795You say he has not been seen since Gastrell''s reception?
9795You say,I exclaimed sharply,"that jewellery stolen in Great Britain sometimes finds its way here?"
9795You see the idea now? 9795 You would n''t notice him if he passed you in the street, would you?"
9795You''ve got the revolver I gave you?
9795A coincidence?
9795Above all, who was he?
9795After some instants''pause he repeated:"Well?"
9795Again, why had he not sent the car to Eton to fetch Dick away?
9795Also where had Albeury gone?
9795Also, what should I do?
9795And Dulcie, would she at last have come to think as Aunt Hannah thought?
9795And Teddy''s such a mean chap; he did n''t like partin'', did he?"
9795And how are you, dear?
9795And how came Dulcie to have told me, less than an hour before, that he was in the house at Hampstead, and asleep there?
9795And in any case, what right had I had metaphorically to sit in judgment upon her and jump to conclusions which might be wholly erroneous?
9795And that hoard of jewellery I had so unwittingly discovered-- had the man now standing there before me seen me looking at it?
9795And turning to Preston he added,"Were you right?
9795And was he met?"
9795And what about the boy?"
9795And what could be the meaning of this sudden flitting to Paris?
9795And what happened after that?
9795And what was happening?
9795And what would Dulcie think of me later if, through my giving way to her entreaty, some serious harm should befall my friend?
9795And what, I wondered suddenly, was Albeury doing all this time?
9795And where does she come from?
9795And why did they specify this table?"
9795And yet if I did see her, of what use would it be?
9795And yet if they meant to, how could he escape them?
9795And you, Aunt Hannah?"
9795And you, Mr. Berrington?
9795Any more,"he added, addressing me, than it could have been someone other than me whom you met in Geneva?"
9795Are you Mr. Jack Osborne that Mike is always talking to my sister about, who took Mike to that house-- the house where the fire was?"
9795Are you Mr. Michael Berrington?"
9795Are you alone?"
9795Are you at Linden Gardens?"
9795Are you going to see him now?"
9795Are you ill?
9795Are you with Aunt Hannah?"
9795Arrived yesterday?
9795Assuming as serious an expression as I could conjure, I said to him:"Why, what''s the meaning of this, Dick?
9795At last I said:"Dulcie, who told you all this?"
9795Berrington?"
9795Berrington?"
9795Berrington?"
9795Berrington?"
9795Berrington?"
9795Berrington?"
9795Berrington?"
9795Besides, why should Mrs. Stapleton give me such a present as that?
9795But Mrs. Gastrell came from the Cape, surely?"
9795But first, tell me-- you have talked to Mrs. Stapleton; do you like her?"
9795But how came he to be here?
9795But tell me, have you seen anything of Dulcie?"
9795But then, had it really been locked?
9795But what matters, so long as he is dead?"
9795But what will you say when you get there?
9795But who are you?
9795But who could it be?
9795But who, I wondered, had her husband been?
9795But would she succeed in getting away?
9795By the way, how did you come to know that Mrs. Stapleton and Miss Challoner were here?"
9795Can they be twins?
9795Can you come here to see me to- morrow as soon as possible, or can you get leave for me to come to London to see you?
9795Can you get them packed quickly?"
9795Can you remember what she was like?"
9795Come with me, will you?"
9795Could all this, I could not help wondering, be mere coincidence?
9795Could it really be possible, was what I kept wondering, that this smooth- spoken, pleasant- mannered man was actually a criminal?
9795Could some misfortune have befallen him?
9795Could the man standing there staring at me be Preston''s murderer?
9795Did I dare approach her?
9795Did I know where she was and why she had not returned?"
9795Did he follow the widow and Miss Challoner home last night?"
9795Did he refer to the medallion worn by Gastrell?
9795Did n''t you know?"
9795Did she notice nothing in my manner that appeared to be unusual?
9795Did she suspect that I knew his name, and could this be an attempt to entrap me into revealing that I knew it?
9795Did the London police suspect them, and were they fleeing from justice in consequence?
9795Did you know that Connie had rooms here?
9795Did you pick it up?"
9795Did you see Dulcie at Gastrell''s last night?"
9795Do n''t you remember?
9795Do you believe me when I tell you that?"
9795Do you intend to go at this time of the night?"
9795Do you know who I am?"
9795Do you mean Miss Dulcie Challoner, Sir Roland''s daughter?"
9795Do you think he would have let me go?
9795Do you think, though, he would, whoever he was, have let me go after questioning me like that?
9795Do you want to see him?"
9795Do you-- do you think he can have got mixed up with some woman?"
9795Does n''t she ride well?
9795Dulcie might not mind my having discovered that she had picked up the guns as a bargain-- indeed, why should she?
9795Educated at Marlborough and at Trinity-- but why should I bore you with my story-- eh, Sir Roland?
9795Everything is arranged-- the plan is perfect-- as all the arrangements of The Four Faces always are-- it ca n''t fail unless--""Yes?"
9795For what did anybody know about him?
9795Gastrell?
9795Had he told the gang I was now mixed up with of my disguise, and had they entrapped me in order to wreak vengeance?
9795Had my brain become deranged, causing a strange, an amazing hallucination?
9795Had there been an accident?
9795Has he any theory to account for the buckle being there?"
9795Has he thrown out any hint of any sort?"
9795Have the police found any clue?"
9795Have you a second horse out?"
9795Have you any idea?"
9795Have you known him long?"
9795He had no idea, he added, at what time they had left, nor yet where they had gone-- and did I need a room, or did n''t I?
9795He shuffled for a moment, then added:"And these notes, sir; am I entitled to keep them?"
9795How came it, then, that everything had been so skilfully arranged with a view to disarming our suspicions when we did call?
9795How came this woman to be here, this woman who called herself Gastrell''s wife?
9795How could she continue to address me as though nothing in the least unusual had occurred?
9795How do you come to be in town?
9795How do you know my name?"
9795How do you know?"
9795How had he got there and what could he be doing?
9795How is he now?"
9795How is it that nobody about here, and apparently nobody in town either, knows anything at all about her?
9795How is it you manage to win every time?"
9795How long did he remain unconscious?"
9795How long had he been there?
9795How soon can I get hold of it?"
9795How, then, could I refer to this woman by name without causing possible friction between Easterton and his tenant, Gastrell?
9795How?"
9795I and others were at your hunt breakfast--""Were your accomplices all men?"
9795I exclaimed in dismay,"how do you come to know what I have just told to Dulcie in confidence?"
9795I exclaimed, hurrying across to her,"whatever are you doing here?
9795I exclaimed,"how do you know that?"
9795I had no idea we were to have the pleasure of seeing you here to- night-- had you, Dulcie?"
9795I mean whose is it and who lives here?"
9795I suppose Lady Fitzgraham did n''t, by any chance, speak to you of her jewels-- say she had them with her, or anything of that kind?"
9795I suppose, Osborne, that you are invited to the coming of age, as you know Cranmere so well?"
9795I wonder, now, if you''ll remember me-- eh?"
9795I would grant you any favour provided--""Provided what?"
9795I?"
9795I_ do_ think she is such a fascinating person, do n''t you, Mike?
9795If so would he have adopted her view with regard to the sending of that telegram, and with regard to other matters?
9795If so, who was the victim, and who were these men with him?
9795If, as you say, the telegram was not sent by you-- and I suppose I must believe you-- why was it not sent to Sir Roland?
9795In what direction had we come?
9795Is he a gentleman?"
9795Is n''t it astonishing?
9795Is n''t it terrible?"
9795Is n''t that like Auntie?
9795Is n''t that strange?"
9795Is that the alleged mistake of which you complain?"
9795Is there anything I can drink?"
9795Is there anything she can do for you?"
9795Is your father with you?"
9795It''s a deal, then?"
9795It''s all rot, is n''t it?"
9795Jasmine Gastrell must of course be aware of his identity?
9795Just afterwards I happened to hear her talking to Mrs. Stapleton about her wedding-- by the way, Mike, have you fixed the date yet?"
9795Just then I had an inspiration, and I added quickly, before she had time to answer,"or Mr. Hugesson Gastrell?"
9795Let me see, when was it we last met?"
9795Look, whose handwriting is this?"
9795Might Dulcie not have excellent reasons to give for all that had occurred the night before?
9795Might she not have been duped, and taken to that house under wholly false pretences?
9795Mike, is Holland and Holland''s shop in Bond Street?"
9795Mrs. Stapleton sipped some champagne, then asked:"Is anybody suspected?"
9795Now are you satisfied, Mike?"
9795Now, I maintain it was sent to Dulcie because the sender knew Sir Roland to be away from home-- and who, but you, knew him to be away?
9795Now, does anything suggest itself to either of you?
9795Now, if these thieves are people who are pretending to be gentlemen-- how do you put it?
9795Only one thing I wonder,"I ended, again facing Aunt Hannah,"if you thought that, why did you bring Dulcie up to town?
9795Or was I asleep and dreaming?
9795Osborne asked quickly;"and why has she taken him?"
9795Osborne?"
9795Our joy was so great-- would it last?
9795Preston?"
9795Say, then, will you help me in this search?
9795Shall I show them in?"
9795Shall I tell you what your life has been?"
9795Shall we say at twelve o''clock?"
9795Shall we sit here?"
9795She appeared now, however, to mean what she said, and so I only answered:"How, having met you once, Mrs. Gastrell, could I forget our meeting?
9795She ca n''t prevent your packing your own things?"
9795Sir Roland called out,"who are you?
9795So not a word, mind; not a syllable even to Dulcie Challoner-- have I your promise?"
9795Stapleton?"
9795Stapleton?"
9795Stapleton?"
9795Struck me as rather a rum sort-- what?
9795Such a striking woman would be sure to attract his attention, he would inquire who she was, he might even ask Gastrell, and then what would happen?
9795Suddenly I noticed that the door of the room had been shut, and instantly the thought came to me-- Where was Dulcie?
9795Supposing he does live there-- or, for that matter, supposing he doesn''t-- what reason will you give for calling at the house?"
9795Tell me quickly, before he returns: what happened to you yesterday?
9795Tell me, my darling,"I went on hurriedly,"when and where can we can meet-- alone?"
9795That you, Churchill?"
9795The line was out of order?"
9795Then he continued:"Do you remember the account of the robbery at Thatched Court, near Bridport?
9795Then how does that message that was sent off come to be signed?"
9795Then the thought came to me, What was the object of this dinner party?
9795Then, still looking straight into her eyes, I said, almost in a whisper:"Shall I tell you what I see?
9795They had slept there the night before?
9795They would n''t come down in an aeroplane to commit a robbery, surely?"
9795This gentleman a friend of yours?
9795Those friends will be''Baron Poppenheimer''and-- who is Cranmere''s other friend to be, George?"
9795Though I had not been identified by people who knew me, would Dulcie''s perception be keener and lead to her seeing through my disguise?
9795Three weeks, is n''t it, since I was home, ill?"
9795To what station should I book?
9795Was Gastrell the assassin?
9795Was he aware of my identity too, and, if so, had he designs upon my life as well?
9795Was it possible she realized nothing, suspected nothing, had no faint idea of the feeling I entertained for her?
9795Was it possible these fiends would wreak their vengeance on a mere boy?
9795Was it really you who gave it to me to send off?"
9795Was this an Aladdin''s Palace I had suddenly entered?
9795We ought to inquire at Scotland Yard, ought n''t we?"
9795Well, and what can I do for you?"
9795Were all the boys wonderful when you were my age too, Mr. Osborne, can you remember?
9795Were they, after all, unjust suspicions?
9795What I want to know is-- Will you come with me?"
9795What about James being told to meet Dick at Paddington and then not turning up?"
9795What about Master Dick?"
9795What about your clothes and things?
9795What are you doing in London?
9795What are you doing there?"
9795What could have been the cause of it?
9795What could he have to say to me that he wished to keep secret from his family?
9795What could the boy want to see me about?
9795What crisis?"
9795What did he mean by"The Four Faces"?
9795What did it all mean?
9795What did the only''man''do then?"
9795What did they contain?
9795What did you want?"
9795What do you mean, Miss Challoner?"
9795What do you mean?"
9795What do you want?"
9795What does it mean?"
9795What else could I say?
9795What had become of her?
9795What had come over her since she had formed this violent attachment for Connie Stapleton?
9795What had happened?
9795What had happened?
9795What had happened?
9795What had the Fates in store for me-- for us both?
9795What has happened?"
9795What has happened?"
9795What have I done or said that has given you offence?"
9795What havoc might I not be creating?
9795What house is this we are in?
9795What is it all about?"
9795What is it you want?"
9795What is it?
9795What is she like?
9795What is the clue?"
9795What is the exact time?"
9795What is the matter?
9795What mischief might I not unwittingly be doing?
9795What more do you want to know?"
9795What name shall I say?"
9795What reason could anyone have for wishing to make Dulcie, or me, or any of the Challoners, unhappy?
9795What shall I give you for them?''
9795What sort of person do you propose to turn him into?
9795What then?"
9795What was he doing?
9795What was he like?"
9795What was stolen?
9795What was the matter with you?
9795What woman?"
9795What would Gastrell say?
9795What would Sir Roland think, and Jack Osborne, and all my friends-- even old Aunt Hannah?
9795What would happen when we reached Maresfield Gardens?
9795What would the headmaster say who had confided him to my care?
9795What''s he do?"
9795What?"
9795What?"
9795When can I?"
9795When did the fashion of teaching boys to swim like that go out, Mr. Osborne?
9795When did you land?"
9795When did you see''us''both together-- and who is the other person you are thinking of?"
9795When shall you see your man again?"
9795Where are she and her husband staying?"
9795Where did you disappear to last night?"
9795Where does the''idea''come in?"
9795Where is she now?"
9795Where was I?
9795Where was he?
9795Where were you last night?"
9795Where, before, had I heard that name--"the Duchesse de Montparnasse"?
9795Whereabouts did the Duchesse de Montparnasse keep her jewels in her château on the Meuse?
9795Whereabouts, outside Paris, was that long hill up which we had travelled so slowly?
9795Which had assassinated Preston on board the boat, leaving the impression that he had intentionally hanged himself?
9795Which of all these criminals had done poor Churchill to death?
9795While I had been unconscious, had the fact been discovered that I too was disguised?
9795Who are you?
9795Who could he be?
9795Who else could it have been?
9795Who had spoken to me of that hiding- hole only recently?
9795Who is he and what is he?
9795Whom have I the pleasure of speaking to?"
9795Why are you here?
9795Why are you here?"
9795Why did n''t you leave her at Holt, and come up alone?"
9795Why had Connie Stapleton invited these people down to Newbury?
9795Why had I suggested our stopping?
9795Why had Sir Roland not sent James direct to Windsor to meet Dick, instead of wasting time by sending him all the way to London?
9795Why had he sunk so low?
9795Why had we stopped?
9795Why have you turned against me?
9795Why is Dick here?
9795Why should I have, we have-- for Dulcie suffered equally-- an enemy?
9795Why should she all at once interrupt her talk and put this question to me?
9795Why, if she wished to give a dinner party, had she not given it in town?
9795Why, knowing each other, did they all at once feign to be strangers?
9795Why?
9795Why?"
9795Will you come in and wait?"
9795Will you come, dear?
9795Will you come?
9795Will you join me in this attempt I am going to make to track these men down?
9795Will you or wo n''t you?"
9795Will you telegraph to me as soon as you get this to say what I can do and where I can see you at once?
9795Will you try to if I can manage to get you a week- end at Holt?"
9795Wo n''t you come in and wait for him?"
9795Worse, what would Sir Roland say when I confessed to him what I had done?
9795Would Aunt Hannah have told him everything?
9795Would Sir Roland have returned?
9795Would my feelings get the better of me and lead to my betraying who I was?
9795Would she, I wondered, ever come to understand how deeply she had stolen into my heart?
9795Would you believe it, he had an assignation with the woman, and kept it?
9795Yet what about Dulcie?
9795You are a very good chap-- but a hero?
9795You inquired first for Miss Challoner, then for Mrs. Stapleton, and then for Hugesson Gastrell-- am I not right?"
9795You know what vigorous likes and dislikes she takes, all of a sudden?
9795You must have been surprised at my declaring so emphatically this evening that I had not met either of you before-- eh?"
9795You say your man landed only yesterday?"
9795You understand?
9795You''re not going to break it off?
9795and where are you going?
9795and who was it stolen from?"
9795do you feel faint?"
9795he exclaimed suddenly,"what''s that?"
9795she exclaimed under her breath, with difficulty controlling her emotion,"father, what are you doing here?"
9795she inquired suddenly,"and why does he ask you what you think about it?"
9795stand for but''Dulcie Challoner''?
9795who?"
43198''Be sure thy sin will find thee out?''
43198''E''s a nice sort o''chap to come palaverin''to me, ai n''t''e?
43198''Here''s Dick,''says Aunt Rob,''that I''m as fond of as if he was my own son, what is he good for? 43198 ''Where are you going?''
43198A face you can trust?
43198A man of rare talent?
43198A minute and a half? 43198 About which one?"
43198Absolutely certain?
43198After reading the news in the paper on Saturday afternoon what did you do?
43198After your husband''s dismissal, are you aware whether he and Mr. Reginald Boyd met?
43198Ah,said Dick, in a tone of stern reproof,"what are you saying, indeed, Aunt Rob, when you couple Florence''s name with thoughts like those?
43198All this must have taken some time?
43198Am I looking glum?
43198Am I to infer that my presence will be necessary in a criminal court?
43198And Gracie,he said,"where''s our little Gracie-- our lit- tle Gra- cie?
43198And after that?
43198And being too ill to leave his bed, can he appoint some one to act for him?
43198And do you hear that? 43198 And had no personal interest to serve?"
43198And have found none?
43198And identified it?
43198And if I lend it to you,said Mr. Boyd, with a sneering smile,"you will call down heaven''s blessing upon me, you will remember me in your prayers?"
43198And if payment is impossible just now?
43198And master of none?
43198And no blood on my-- my father''s body, nor in the bed?
43198And on friendly terms with him?
43198And see things that we ca n''t?
43198And that is all you can tell me?
43198And that you formed the idea that he had been dead several days?
43198And then?
43198And to- morrow night?
43198And waited between each fresh summons for an answer?
43198And was this the object of his second visit late at night?
43198And you did not inform them?
43198And you have not been out of the house during my absence?
43198And you left it?
43198And you remained some time afterwards?
43198And you''ve found him out afterwards to be a bad lot?
43198And you, Dick?
43198And yours?
43198And''ow''s the poor young gentleman, sir,she said,"after''is day at the inkwich?
43198Any bills of acceptance?
43198Any knocks at the street door?
43198Any trouble to get her here, aunt?
43198Anything new stirring?
43198Anything new stirring?
43198Are n''t you losing sight of your question?
43198Are people speaking about Abel Death?
43198Are the letters all written?
43198Are these the photographs?
43198Are you English born?
43198Are you a doctor, sir?
43198Are you acquainted with a person of the name of Ezra Lynn? 43198 Are you certain that the church clock struck three?"
43198Are you going anywhere particular, Dick?
43198Are you mad?
43198Are you mad?
43198Are you off?
43198Are you sure you could not get it earlier?
43198Are you sure?
43198Are you taken ill?
43198Are you well, Florence?
43198As a destroyer?
43198As matters stand at present you are the only person who has benefited by the death of your father?
43198At about that hour of three did you observe a sudden flash of light from an opposite house?
43198At what hour was this visit paid?
43198At what time did this take place?
43198At what time did you say Mr. Reginald entered his father''s house?
43198At what time were those instructions issued?
43198At whose suggestion were photographs of his boots taken?
43198Aunt Rob?
43198Be quiet, children,said Mrs. Death; and turning anxiously to Dick,"Have you any news of my husband, sir?"
43198Before Saturday afternoon had your attention been directed in any way to the house in which the deceased resided?
43198Before or after?
43198Before that day were you in the habit of visiting him regularly?
43198Between your two visits to your father on that Friday did you come into communication with Mr. Abel Death?
43198Borrowed money of him?
43198But does n''t he think Abel Death did it?
43198But how do I stand with Lambert? 43198 But if he presented himself in his own proper person how is it that he has not been caught, that he is still free?"
43198But if the street door was not opened to Mr. Reginald, how did he get in?
43198But is it safe to move him, mother?
43198But might not such a man have adopted these rougher means for the purpose of averting suspicion?
43198But what does she mean by her''duty,''Dick?
43198But what happened?
43198But what has Dr. Vinsen to gain by it?
43198But what took you out in it, my dear?
43198But where were you, child?
43198But you do n''t like this sort of thing?
43198But you have no objection to my walking a little way with your mother, I hope? 43198 By means of a match?"
43198By the person you mean Mr. Samuel Boyd?
43198By the way, might I see that clever little device of yours for throwing light to a distance?
43198Ca n''t I persuade you to come home with me?
43198Ca n''t you see how, Dick?
43198Ca n''t you speak?
43198Ca n''t you word it some other way, Dick?
43198Ca n''t you?
43198Can I do anything for you, sir?
43198Can I help it?
43198Can a spirit do things that we ca n''t?
43198Can not you say with certainty?
43198Can we not have a light?
43198Can you find your way home?
43198Can you give me Mr. Reginald''s address?
43198Can you give me any reason why Dr. Pye, Dr. Vinsen''s intimate friend, should say he had not seen him for some days past?
43198Can you inform us where he lives?
43198Can you inform us whether the room in which the body was found was Mr. Boyd''s regular bedroom?
43198Christian name?
43198Could these footsteps have been made by the deceased?
43198Could you identify the jewels?
43198Dick, my lad,said Inspector Robson,"have you got yourself into any money difficulty?
43198Dick, what do you see when you are in the dark?
43198Did Gracie draw these?
43198Did I worry you, mother?
43198Did Mr. Reginald say why he wanted to see his father?
43198Did Reginald carry out his idea, Florence?
43198Did any one apply for admission while you were with him?
43198Did any person see you enter the house? 43198 Did he ask Mr. Boyd for a loan of ten pounds?"
43198Did he have any enemies?
43198Did he make any reference to Mr. Reginald Boyd and Mr. Richard Remington in connection with it?
43198Did he make any statement?
43198Did he send you for his father?
43198Did he tell you that himself?
43198Did he work long hours?
43198Did it appear to you as if he wished to conceal anything?
43198Did n''t Dick tell you? 43198 Did she have a child with her, a poor little mite with a churchyard cough?"
43198Did she stop long, do you know?
43198Did the deceased die a natural death?
43198Did the doctor say when he would be able to get up?
43198Did they ask for me, mother?
43198Did you accuse your father of fraud?
43198Did you believe it?
43198Did you ever see anything like this, Applebee?
43198Did you ever see the secret books of the police,he said,"with the names of certain men with black marks against them?
43198Did you examine the back of the premises?
43198Did you expect this, that you have gone so far?
43198Did you get into the house the same way as Simmons?
43198Did you hear the clock of St. Michael''s Church strike?
43198Did you know them?
43198Did you leave Wharton in the card room?
43198Did you not see him in Catchpole Square, or in its vicinity?
43198Did you observe any blood on the bedclothes?
43198Did you obtain admission into your father''s house on Friday afternoon in the usual way?
43198Did you search the clothes of the deceased?
43198Did you see any suspicious persons about on the night of the 1st?
43198Did you see her face?
43198Did you see him? 43198 Did your father accompany you to the street door?"
43198Did your father ever fire the pistol?
43198Did your husband drink?
43198Did_ he_ obtain it from the lady?
43198Do I look like a murderer?
43198Do n''t you think you had better shut your mouth? 43198 Do n''t you?"
43198Do n''t you?
43198Do these people live in your neighbourhood?
43198Do with it? 43198 Do you believe now?"
43198Do you consider it certain that there was a struggle between the deceased and his assailant?
43198Do you consider it likely that the deceased could have called for help during the struggle?
43198Do you consider it likely that, during the struggle, the deceased succeeded in getting out of bed?
43198Do you doubt it, Dick?
43198Do you hope to be able to lay hands on him?
43198Do you intend to remain much longer?
43198Do you know for a certainty that he is innocent?
43198Do you know how it runs in the Government bills?
43198Do you know,he asked,"when Reginald saw his father last?"
43198Do you like him, Dick?
43198Do you mean to say that they do n''t want to see fair play?
43198Do you mean to tell me that you live here quite alone?
43198Do you present these to me in all seriousness?
43198Do you realise how long a minute and a half is to a murderer under these circumstances? 43198 Do you see Dr. Vinsen in Court at the present moment?"
43198Do you see anything now?
43198Do you tell me he is suspected of the crime?
43198Do you think so?
43198Do you want him for anything particular?
43198Do you, now?
43198Does Florence suspect it? 43198 Does it come a third time, Applebee?"
43198Does your examination of the body warrant you in saying that there was resistance on the part of the deceased?
43198Done what?
43198Dr. Pye? 43198 During that time were you quite alone?"
43198During the whole time you were there was the door of Mr. Samuel Boyd''s house opened?
43198Easy, ai n''t it, Dick? 43198 Examine this plan of the rooms, and tell us whether it is accurate?"
43198Except what?
43198Father?
43198For me?
43198For what reason? 43198 From Florence?"
43198From time to time you have come into communication with Mr. Richard Remington?
43198From what? 43198 Give me a ha''penny to buy a paper, Dick, will you?"
43198Give me the name of the tradesman who is repairing it?
43198God preserve you?
43198Had any orders been given to you to take action in this matter?
43198Had you a definite object in view when you paid the visit, apart from the natural desire to see him?
43198Has Aunt Rob, or Florence?
43198Has any one called?
43198Has he assisted or retarded you in your inquiries?
43198Has he been here long?
43198Has he been ill long?
43198Has he been in bed all the time?
43198Has he received the summons? 43198 Has he run away from you?"
43198Has it ever?
43198Has it not crossed your mind, Mrs. Death, that you are being deceived?
43198Has my name been mentioned?
43198Has that consideration strengthened or removed any doubts you may have had?
43198Has your father come back?
43198Have you a list of the jewels you gave the person who personated Samuel Boyd in Bournemouth on the following Friday night?
43198Have you any idea as to the cause of his death?
43198Have you any idea at all as to the cause of his absence?
43198Have you any idea, Dick, what she means when she speaks of her duty?
43198Have you any objection to inform us why you suppressed the name of Boyd? 43198 Have you any other information to give bearing on this inquiry?"
43198Have you been in the house?
43198Have you been looking at the house?
43198Have you been there?
43198Have you brought it into court?
43198Have you carefully considered the matter since you appeared in the Coroner''s Court?
43198Have you ever heard of him, uncle?
43198Have you ever seen a bull- baiting without the bull?
43198Have you ever seen any other man in Catchpole Square leaving Mr. Boyd''s house in the middle of the night?
43198Have you found any jewels?
43198Have you lived with us all these years without finding it out? 43198 Have you not heard that Mr. Reginald Boyd has been arrested for the murder?"
43198Have you posted up the books?
43198Have you searched for it?
43198Have you seen him lately?
43198Have you seen him lately?
43198Have you taken out letters of administration?
43198Have you the latchkey now?
43198Have you the letter you received from him?
43198Have you the pleasure of knowing the gentleman?
43198Having completed your examination, what next did you do?
43198Having let yourself in, what then did you do?
43198Having obtained entrance into the house, what next did you do?
43198He could not have strangled himself?
43198He had to draw the bolts?
43198He holds an execution over all your goods and furniture which he can put into execution at any moment? 43198 He hoped it would be granted?"
43198He is a money- lender?
43198He spoke of Dr. Pye as his intimate friend?
43198He walked quietly with you to the station?
43198He was not happy in his situation?
43198He will disclose nothing?
43198Here in this court?
43198His friend?
43198How can that be when he says he''s willing to pay £500 for the discovery and conviction?
43198How can we thank you?
43198How can you ask it? 43198 How could he be, sir, with such a master?"
43198How did you find him at last, my dear?
43198How did you get in?
43198How did you get in?
43198How did you get into the house?
43198How do men commit suicide?
43198How do you arrive at that conclusion?
43198How do you arrive at the conclusion that the window was broken from without?
43198How do you form the conclusion that they are the footsteps of a man?
43198How do you know I''m not a married man, Gracie?
43198How do you know what my opinion is?
43198How far from the window?
43198How is it possible for me to have an opinion?
43198How is it,asked Dr. Vinsen,"that that accusation has not been produced?"
43198How is that?
43198How long did it take you to reach Catchpole Square?
43198How long did you remain in the house?
43198How long did you remain up on Friday night after your husband went to make a last appeal to his employer?
43198How long has Reginald been ill?
43198How long has he been gone?
43198How many kisses did he give you, my dear?
43198How much is the reward, Dick?
43198How old are you?
43198How old are you?
43198How so?
43198How so?
43198How will you dispose of him now without drawing suspicion upon you?
43198How, deceived?
43198How?
43198I knew him-- did you?
43198I say, do n''t you consider it a rum go that Mr. Reginald Boyd should be offering the reward? 43198 I shall be thirteen soon, sha''n''t I, mother?"
43198I suppose he has n''t, Gracie?
43198I understand that you volunteered to give evidence at the inquest in the interests of justice?
43198I will take you home in my carriage,said Lady Wharton, and then energetically to her brother,"Fairfax, what_ do_ you think of her?"
43198I_ am_ small, ai n''t I? 43198 If Abel Death turns up will it be for good or ill?
43198If it happened that you found him here,she continued,"would you give information to the police?
43198If the mate-- that''s me, Dick-- found father, would_ he_ have the reward?
43198If you saw the man again, could you identify him?
43198In being led to believe that those who are your friends are your enemies?
43198In health? 43198 In heaven''s name how came_ you_ here?"
43198In his sleep?
43198In his visits to you did you have any conversation about the murder?
43198In pursuance of your duties you served subp[oe]nas upon certain witnesses?
43198In that case would there not have been, in addition to the defined blood stains of footmarks, smears of blood upon the floor?
43198In the name of all that''s mysterious, what is he keeping out of the way for? 43198 In the teeth of the conflicting evidence that has been given, you are positive?"
43198In what case?
43198In what part of Switzerland were you born?
43198In what way have I violated your orders, sir?
43198Interrupting you here, has that statement of accounts been found among your father''s papers?
43198Is Gracie at home?
43198Is Mr. Dick Remington in?
43198Is anybody inside now? 43198 Is anyone suspected?
43198Is he changed much?
43198Is he dead?
43198Is he well?
43198Is he? 43198 Is it an honest face?"
43198Is it certain that he was murdered,he said presently in a broken voice,"that he did not die a natural death?"
43198Is it fair to put it that way, Robson?
43198Is it in your house?
43198Is it open to us to do so? 43198 Is it true, sir, is it true?"
43198Is it usual for people to be in the Square so late?
43198Is it worth while to make the attempt?
43198Is it your opinion that there was more than one visit?
43198Is that a long job?
43198Is that all, Gracie?
43198Is that in your line, Dick?
43198Is that like it, Gracie?
43198Is that you, Applebee?
43198Is that your advice?
43198Is the furniture in the bedroom of a sufficiently heavy character to cause the wounds and abrasions you spoke of?
43198Is there a cellar?
43198Is there any doubt in your mind on the point?
43198Is there any special reason why she did not inform you of it before?
43198Is there anything against him,asked Uncle Rob, with a sinking heart,"beyond what has come out in the inquest?"
43198Is there no possibility of your agreeing?
43198Is there the slightest doubt in your mind?
43198Is this the room?
43198It appears, however, to have been a recent entrance?
43198It had escaped your notice before the detective officer pointed it out?
43198It is Lady Wharton, is it not?
43198It is from the back windows of your house, doctor, that you can see into Catchpole Square?
43198It is not that I do n''t value your advice; but what would be the use of asking for it if I had n''t made up my mind to take it?
43198It is, I suppose, necessary that the device be opened before you can light the wire?
43198It reads well, does n''t it? 43198 It was a matter of no interest to you?"
43198Let''s make a guess, shall us?
43198Look here,said Dick, an uncomfortable feeling spreading over him,"what do you want?"
43198Louis Lorenz can be no common criminal?
43198May I call you Dick?
43198May I go into his room?
43198May I hope, sir, that you will grant the request you kindly promised to consider? 43198 May I inquire the name of your kind friend?"
43198May I inquire,he said,"your reason for evincing so extraordinary an interest in this affair?"
43198May that not have exasperated him, and caused him to speak words to Mr. Boyd which might have been construed into a threat?
43198May you not yourself be labouring under a delusion?
43198Meaning if it''s brought against him by name?
43198Meaning-- what?
43198Meaning?
43198Might a man so humble as Samuel Boyd inquire whether it is too late now for Lady Wharton to think better of it?
43198Might n''t he have said so to his wife to quiet her? 43198 Mr. Samuel Boyd''s bedroom?"
43198Must I be taken to Bishop Street Station?
43198My darling child,said Aunt Rob,"when did you know me to be wrong?
43198My senses do n''t deceive me, do they?
43198My son- in- law for one?
43198Next week, then?
43198No doubt you have heard many of the theories that have been advanced to account for his absence from his home?
43198No one saw you go upstairs?
43198No proof at all,said Dick,"but does n''t it look like it?"
43198No, you did n''t, but did you go out of my shop with the rope hanging over your arm?'' 43198 No?
43198Nor out of this room?
43198Nor tools of any kind?
43198Nor where he is at the present moment?
43198Not Abel Death?
43198Not a business woman? 43198 Not even to go down to the door to see who it was who sought entrance?"
43198Nothing else? 43198 Nothing more?"
43198Nothing of any value?
43198Now, Dick, old man, what is to be done? 43198 Now, Gracie, how did you get into the house?"
43198Now, Gracie, what is it?
43198Now, I ask you, Lambert,he said,"could any man in the world have given his evidence more fairly?"
43198Now, my Saint Vitus friend, what''s your little game? 43198 Now, what do_ you_ want?"
43198Now, what have you got to say?
43198Now, what is it?
43198Now, who is prompting you?
43198Now,_ are_ you serious, sir?
43198Oh, Dick, have n''t you forgiven me for the hard words I said to you? 43198 Oh, do n''t I, though?
43198On any subsequent occasion did you see any suspicious persons about?
43198On duty?
43198On his?
43198On those six or seven occasions on which you saw Mr. Lynn while the inquest was in progress what was the subject of conversation between you?
43198On what day were you taken ill?
43198Openly or secretly, Dick?
43198Previous to your visit where were you on that night?
43198Queer move, ai n''t it, offering a reward before the inquest''s over? 43198 Recent scratches?"
43198Reginald''s father?
43198Related to the family, I presume?
43198Right even in falling in love with our dear Florence?
43198See what?
43198Shall we call it a kind of instinct that whispered of a foul deed done?
43198Shall we say you will not?
43198She believes me guilty,thought Reginald, as she disappeared through the door of the court; and then, turning to Uncle Rob, he said,"What is it?"
43198She has gone?
43198Should you say that robbery was the object of this burglarious entrance?
43198So far as your recollection serves is this letter received by Lady Wharton on the 6th of March, and dated the 5th, in his writing?
43198So that the orderly state of the bed and bedclothes was unnatural?
43198So that three hours elapsed before any action was taken? 43198 So that you can not say whether the shot was fired by the deceased or his assailant?"
43198So that you can speak with confidence on the point?
43198So that you would be in front of Mr. Boyd''s house at about half past two?
43198So that, having brought forward your flashlight device, you had to set it down before you could strike the match?
43198Talking of Catchpole Square, have you seen anything this last day or two of Mr. Samuel Boyd?
43198Tell me another man who could have so successfully imposed upon her ladyship, who would have had the audacity to carry out a deception so hazardous? 43198 That I stole it?"
43198That brings us to half past three?
43198That is all you can tell us?
43198That is all you know, Lord Fairfax?
43198That is quite lately?
43198That takes us back to Sunday, the 3rd?
43198That''s singular,I said,"what do_ you_ make of it?"
43198The Coroner:''At whose hands, sir?'' 43198 The attorney?"
43198The figure of Samuel Boyd standing at his window?
43198The gentleman whom Mr. Reginald Boyd appoints to act for him?
43198The house has been broken into?
43198The next question is, does he get into the house?
43198The refusal to grant the loan must have been a great disappointment to your husband?
43198The rent?
43198The room on the right is the sleeping apartment?
43198Then he must be in attendance? 43198 Then there was bad blood between them when they parted?"
43198Then what''s keeping him away? 43198 Then where''s my husband?
43198Then you are not acquainted with him?
43198Then you do n''t believe him guilty?
43198Then your statement as to the time is mere guesswork?
43198There appears to be some kind of connection between the death of Mr. Samuel Boyd and the disappearance of a clerk in his employ, Mr. Abel Death? 43198 There was no other person except yourselves in the house?"
43198They did not know you were the son of Mr. Samuel Boyd?
43198They had frequent disagreements?
43198Threatening words?
43198Through you?
43198To every one?
43198To fortify yourself for a meeting with our spectre?
43198To what do you attribute Mr. Boyd''s unexpected refusal to lend the money?
43198To whom do you refer?
43198True bill,replied Dick, with an assenting nod,"and what of it?"
43198True bill?
43198Until a will is found can he enter into possession of the house?
43198Up to this day he has escaped?
43198Voluntarily?
43198Was I? 43198 Was he here when Mr. Boyd was murdered?"
43198Was he in employment?
43198Was information given to the police?
43198Was it as Mr. Reginald you introduced yourself to the family of Inspector Robson?
43198Was that the only bullet you found?
43198Was there any wound on the body such as might have been caused by a knife or a pistol?
43198Was your father a very strict man?
43198We had certain plans,continued Dr. Pye;"are they to be carried out to- night?"
43198We should like to hear your reason for saying that the hand that broke the window was unskilled?
43198We understand you are searching for a will?
43198Well, then, who is chiefly responsible for it? 43198 Well, well?"
43198Well? 43198 Were there any indications of a robbery having been committed?"
43198Were there any money transactions between him and Mr. Reginald Boyd?
43198Were there any signs of a struggle?
43198Were there marks of other footsteps?
43198Were they on good terms with each other?
43198Were they stains of old standing?
43198Were you acquainted with Mr. Samuel Boyd?
43198Were you and your father quite alone?
43198Were you the first person to enter the house in Catchpole Square after the death of Mr. Samuel Boyd?
43198What are you giving us? 43198 What are you thinking of, Dick?
43198What did he find?
43198What did he say, Dick, what did he say?
43198What did they do with his body?
43198What did you say?
43198What do you charge him with?
43198What do you make of it, Dick?
43198What do you mean, father?
43198What do you mean?
43198What do you mean?
43198What do you mean?
43198What do you see?
43198What do you see?
43198What do you see?
43198What do you think now of my first mate? 43198 What do you think of my new apprentice?
43198What do you think, Dick?
43198What do you want the bill for?
43198What does that matter?
43198What dream?
43198What else can she do? 43198 What else could I do?"
43198What for? 43198 What had Dick to do with your leaving your home?
43198What has been done, Dick?
43198What have you decided to do?
43198What have you had to eat to- day?
43198What impelled you?
43198What is it, Dick?
43198What is it-- what is it?
43198What is it? 43198 What is it?"
43198What is it?
43198What is not like him?
43198What is the name of his employer?
43198What is the name of the notorious criminal you have come to arrest?
43198What is the name of the woman?
43198What is the nature of his crime?
43198What is your husband''s name?
43198What is your letter about, Dick?
43198What is your name and calling?
43198What is your name?
43198What lesson?
43198What made you so anxious to get into Mr. Boyd''s house? 43198 What makes him tell Mrs. Death a parcel of lies to poison her ears against me?
43198What makes you say that?
43198What may be the meaning of that, Applebee?
43198What nonsense am I talking? 43198 What of it?"
43198What ought to be done, aunt?
43198What shall we say of little Gracie Death? 43198 What was his reply to that?"
43198What was his reply?
43198What was the nature of the flesh and blood that slipped through your fingers like a ghost, Applebee?
43198What was the principal motive for his crimes? 43198 What was the subject of the conversation?"
43198What''s good for the complaint?
43198What''s this for?
43198What''s up?
43198What?
43198Whatever the verdict is?
43198When Lady Wharton returned did you remain with them?
43198When did you first hear of his death?
43198When did you last see your father alive?
43198When do you expect him, Florence?
43198When duty calls does friendship count?
43198When will he be back?
43198When you put the latchkey in the door the policeman might have been passing?
43198When?
43198Where are we, Dick?
43198Where are we?
43198Where are you going to sleep, Dick?
43198Where did you get the key from?
43198Where else should I come, sir?
43198Where is Mr. Dick Remington? 43198 Where is the man?"
43198Where shall I commence, Dick?
43198Where was your hiding place?
43198Where were you on Thursday night?
43198Where will you have your rum,he asked,"at the bar, or in a private room?"
43198Where''s father?
43198Where''s my father?
43198Where''s the bedroom, Dick?
43198Where''s the front entrance?
43198Where?
43198Which direction are you going to take?
43198Which requires to be ignited?
43198Who am I, sir, that I should be putting a parcel of questions to you?
43198Who and what is he, Gracie?
43198Who are you when you''re at home?
43198Who are you?
43198Who can be sure of anything? 43198 Who else should it be, pray?"
43198Who has the key of the street door?
43198Who is he, then?
43198Who is it that has kept my room ready for me?
43198Who is it?
43198Who is that gentleman, ma''am?
43198Who is that young gentleman with the white face that the young lady''s so fond of?
43198Who killed Mr. Samuel Boyd?
43198Who may you be, sir?
43198Who opened the door for you?
43198Who wants Samuel Boyd?
43198Who wants Samuel Boyd?
43198Who were the men you left in the office? 43198 Who would?"
43198Who''d pay it to him?
43198Who''s hindering you?
43198Who''s talking of death blows? 43198 Who''s to prevent it?"
43198Who, Gracie?
43198Whom did you find in charge there?
43198Whose courtesy?
43198Why did he not open the street door for you?
43198Why did you keep it to yourself?
43198Why did you raise your hat to me? 43198 Why do you want to know?"
43198Why does the man not come?
43198Why give me all the honour of the task we were engaged upon?
43198Why go so fur? 43198 Why have I kept it about me?
43198Why have you had two travelling trunks made, and inscribed with the name of Corsi?
43198Why not earn it?
43198Why not, indeed?
43198Why not? 43198 Why not?
43198Why not?
43198Why should he cut and run?
43198Why should he?
43198Why should n''t she hope?
43198Why should you be?
43198Why use harsh terms? 43198 Why were you so anxious that this visit should be kept a secret from me?"
43198Why, do n''t you know, my dear,said Mrs. Applebee,"that his daughter''s married to Mr. Boyd''s son?"
43198Why, indeed?
43198Why, what''s the matter with the lad? 43198 Why?"
43198Why?
43198Will he be back soon?
43198Will it be heard to- morrow?
43198Will it be paid?
43198Will you come home with us, Gracie?
43198Will you trust me half- a- quartern, missis?
43198With what object? 43198 With your name on it?"
43198Without result, of course?
43198Wo n''t you take a chair, sir?
43198Would get the reward as well as the pardon?
43198Would it be a breach of duty to introduce a mug of hot tea into a police station?
43198Would it have been in the interests of justice that you should conceal this startling resemblance?
43198Would n''t you like a bun better?
43198Would there be any objection, Mr. Lambert,said Aunt Rob,"to our walking with him as far as the station?"
43198Would three- and- six a week be too much, sir?
43198Would you mind showing me the window you looked out of when you saw Mr. Reginald Boyd?
43198Yes, he will; and if it runs the other way?
43198Yes, they are, ai n''t they? 43198 Yes, yes,"said Dick, rather impatiently,"is your husband in the house?
43198Yes?
43198You accompanied Inspector Robson when he entered the house of the deceased on Saturday?
43198You are a detective in official service?
43198You are a reporter?
43198You are acquainted with Mr. Ezra Lynn?
43198You are an inspector of police?
43198You are doubtless familiar with Mr. Boyd''s handwriting?
43198You are not living here alone?
43198You are positive?
43198You are quite positive?
43198You are sufficiently familiar with his features to identify him?
43198You call yourself Dr. Do you hold a diploma?
43198You conversed with him?
43198You could identify them?
43198You did not move out of the Square?
43198You did not see any man come from the house, and linger on the threshold of the door?
43198You did not see it?
43198You did not see it?
43198You did not tell Applebee that you had found anything?
43198You disputed the correctness of the account?
43198You do n''t call Mr. Reginald Boyd a private individual in this here case, do you? 43198 You do n''t mind my running away, do you, mother?"
43198You do n''t want the thousand pounds immediately, my lady?
43198You examined the body of the deceased?
43198You examined the body?
43198You found no burglars''tools about?
43198You have been engaged in getting up this case?
43198You have heard the account given by Lady Wharton of the visit of a person last Thursday night who announced himself as Mr. Samuel Boyd?
43198You have heard what the last witness said in reference to yourself?
43198You have no doubt upon the subject?
43198You have no knowledge of these persons?
43198You have visited the house of the deceased in Catchpole Square?
43198You heard the hour strike when you had been some time in the Square?
43198You knocked more than once?
43198You left the house before eleven o''clock?
43198You left your home last Tuesday morning?
43198You owe him a large sum of money?
43198You saw that person?
43198You saw the body?
43198You saw the body?
43198You saw the marks on his throat?
43198You speak excellent English?
43198You suggested that you might be mistaken?
43198You swear it?
43198You went back to the house, and was present when she opened the packet?
43198You went from your house at two in the morning?
43198You were acquainted with Mr. Samuel Boyd?
43198You were acquainted with him?
43198You were going to speak about the old bills?
43198You were not aware of the fact when Constable Applebee was under examination?
43198You were one of the jury at the inquest held upon the body of Mr. Samuel Boyd?
43198You were personally acquainted with Abel Death?
43198You will not deny your signature?
43198You wo n''t throw us over, will you? 43198 You would have left the Court without revealing the secret?"
43198You''ll be back as soon as you can, wo n''t you? 43198 You''ll wait till the verdict''s given?"
43198You''ve been ever so good to me, and so''s mother, but she ca n''t do what she ca n''t, can she?
43198You''ve heard nothing, sir?
43198Your friend arrived?
43198Your name is Pye?
43198_ Can_ one take one''s choice?
43198_ Is_ it?
43198_ Shall_ I see him? 43198 ''A wild night, constable,''he''d say,''have a cigar?'' 43198 ''Always of Dick, Gracie?'' 43198 ''And how are you going to set about it?'' 43198 ''And you have always loved him,''she said again,''and would have endured anything for him?'' 43198 ''As for prosecuting me, shall I fetch a policeman, or will you go for one? 43198 ''Did he go to church?'' 43198 ''Do you recollec'',''they ses,''wot time Friday night young Mr. Boyd come''ome?'' 43198 ''Guilty or not guilty?'' 43198 ''Have you and Mr. Reginald quarrelled?'' 43198 ''It would be a better show, would n''t it?'' 43198 ''May I go up and see him?'' 43198 ''Never of me?'' 43198 ''Now, tell me, child,''he said,''what you think of me?'' 43198 ''Now, then,''I cried,''what are you up to?'' 43198 ''Oh,''ses they,''did''e keep''is door unlocked?'' 43198 ''Then no person has been in the house while I was away?'' 43198 ''Upon what kind of foundation will you carve out this path?'' 43198 ''What are we to do if things do n''t turn out well to- morrow?'' 43198 ''What business have_ you_ to know?'' 43198 ''What call has Mr. Dick Remington got to keep it dark?'' 43198 ''What can I do,''says I to myself,''that will soothe Mr. Rawdon''s ruffled feelings?'' 43198 ''What have you been thinking of, child?'' 43198 ''What''s the good of that?'' 43198 ''Where to?'' 43198 ''Where''s Dick?'' 43198 ''Who is that gentleman?'' 43198 ''Why do n''t he say nothing about it? 43198 ''Why does n''t Dick come?'' 43198 ''Why not earn it?'' 43198 ''Why not say a marquis, or a prince?'' 43198 ''Why,''says the captain, planting his wooden leg firmly on the deck-- did I tell you he had a wooden leg?
43198''Would you advise me to stop with such a man, and gather dirt?''
43198''You ai n''t dead, are you, father?''
43198''You came here to spy upon me, did you?
43198''You did n''t do it, father?''
43198A contrivance or device of your own, I understand?"
43198A curious point, is n''t it?
43198A innercent man, is''e?
43198A linseed poultice?
43198A sword- stick?"
43198A welcome visitor?
43198Abel Death being in the house, the question arises did he ever get out of it?"
43198Accident?
43198After they were gone I could n''t stay where I was, could I?
43198Ai n''t got a bloomin''word to say for yerself?
43198Ai n''t she clever?
43198Ai n''t that enough to aggravate a man?"
43198Ai n''t there plenty of fences in London?"
43198All she knew was that it was n''t her night out, and if the gentleman kept talking to her all day long how could she get her work done?
43198All''s well that ends well, eh?"
43198Am I interrupting your work?"
43198Am I mistaken in supposing that you have been testing the flashlight?"
43198Am I to believe the evidence of my senses?
43198An appeal immediately taken up by the horde of children,"You_ will_ find father, wo n''t you?
43198An effort of literature-- a poem-- an inspiration?
43198And all this time the man was standing at the door, waiting for you?"
43198And do n''t I manage_ you?_""Difficult?"
43198And do n''t I manage_ you?_""Difficult?"
43198And in the event of his being arrested, what would be said of him in Aunt Rob''s home?
43198And she bridles up and answers,''Why not?
43198And the artist?"
43198And the second key which Dick had picked up?
43198And then, in the midst of a sudden silence, Gracie''s hoarse voice, saying,"You_ will_ find father, wo n''t you?"
43198And then?"
43198And what do you think he asked me?
43198And where did Aunt Rob find these garments so suitable and fitting for Gracie?
43198And where is the portrait you promised to send?
43198And why?
43198And why?
43198And you would rather Dick did it?"
43198Any special reason for asking about him, sir?"
43198Anything more, Gracie?"
43198Anything to report?"
43198Are not the people speaking about it in the streets?"
43198Are we free agents?
43198Are you a nervous man?"
43198Are you afraid?"
43198Are you also here on a mission of kindness to our little patient-- our lit- tle pa- tient?
43198Are you any better?"
43198Are you shadowing my son- in- law?"
43198As good?
43198Assuming this, what course would Samuel Boyd, or any sensible person, pursue?
43198At any hour?
43198At this moment?"
43198At two or three in the morning?"
43198At what time do you expect uncle home?"
43198Aunt, have you never seen a man you disliked, without being able to account for it?"
43198Because the name of Samuel Boyd was held in general detestation?
43198Bending over him I said,''Do you want to see your father?''
43198Benevolence?
43198Besides take Louis Lorenz out of the case, and what becomes of Dr. Pye?
43198Boyd?"
43198Boyd?"
43198Boyd?"
43198Boyd?"
43198Boyd?"
43198But I ask again, what is the meaning of Remington''s disappearance?
43198But I suspect-- I suspect----""Yes?"
43198But a worm''ll turn when it''s trod on, wo n''t it?"
43198But as it stands, where''s the indoocement?
43198But before he left the house he turned and said,"Do you believe in God?"
43198But even then, would that save Reginald?
43198But how to account for the key being upon the mat?
43198But how to obtain an entrance?
43198But how_ can_ you tackle it when it melts and disappears?
43198But look here, Applebee, it ai n''t imagination, is it?"
43198But was the proof obtainable?
43198But what can repay them for the suffering I have inflicted upon them-- how shall I atone for the wound my own hand has dealt?"
43198But what does it all mean-- what does it all mean?"
43198But where were the jewels?
43198But where, where is Abel Death?
43198But who was that sitting in a chair, dressed in a flowered gaberdine?
43198But you did n''t know he was Mr. Boyd''s son?"
43198But, the motive, the motive, the motive?
43198By the way, Filey, was the street door chained and bolted when Simmons unlocked it?"
43198By the way, Florence, in your haste to escape from the policemen in Catchpole Square did you lose or drop anything?"
43198By whom?
43198Ca n''t a girl go out for a walk without turning the house upside down?
43198Ca n''t you read what''s underneath?"
43198Ca n''t you see that I''m heartbroken, heartbroken?
43198Ca n''t you?
43198Can Dr. Pye bring forward any witnesses to the truth of his?
43198Can I get you anything for breakfast?"
43198Can anything be more preposterous?"
43198Can you point them out?"
43198Can you say for how long a time?"
43198Can you say now with certainty that he is the man you saw?"
43198Can you state with some degree of precision on what approximate date the deceased met his death?"
43198Can you tell me, of your own knowledge, whether Samuel Boyd keeps sums of money in his house?"
43198Can you understand my feelings, sir?"
43198Charity?
43198Could a fellow get between the sheets of one?
43198Death?"
43198Death?"
43198Death?"
43198Dick, what are you looking so glum for?"
43198Dick?"
43198Did I ask you to keep it dark?"
43198Did I disturb you at all last night?"
43198Did I do right, Dick, in coming to tell you about the hole?
43198Did any of the locks appear to have been forced?"
43198Did father drink, Gracie?"
43198Did n''t you hear their voices?"
43198Did she hear anything that would furnish a clue, and will this occur to her when the murder is discovered?
43198Did the interview take place in his house in Catchpole Square?"
43198Did they know all?
43198Did you call out to her?"
43198Did you ever know a case in such a tangle?"
43198Did you have any conversation with him?"
43198Did you not find the pistol?"
43198Did you not see him six or seven times?"
43198Did you not see the men?"
43198Did you notice him as he looked round the court till he stopped at Reginald?
43198Did you recognise them?"
43198Did you stop long with her?"
43198Did your daughter Gracie say anything to you on the subject?"
43198Do I hear him moving?"
43198Do n''t you hear them?
43198Do n''t you think so?
43198Do n''t you think so?"
43198Do you adhere to that?"
43198Do you approve of Mr. Pallaret, Reginald?"
43198Do you call that business, Joseph Pitou?
43198Do you condemn Reginald?
43198Do you condemn me, Dick?
43198Do you consider it fair that private family affairs should be dragged before the public in the way they have been?"
43198Do you consider that the inquest is being properly carried on?
43198Do you decline to answer?"
43198Do you expect us to believe that all these operations were executed simultaneously and instantaneously?"
43198Do you follow me?"
43198Do you happen to be acquainted with him, sir?"
43198Do you happen to be aware if the missing man has returned to the bosom of his family?"
43198Do you hear the thunder?
43198Do you keep your device in the room in which you were standing?"
43198Do you know a solicitor?"
43198Do you know anyone, Dick, that answers to the description and that might be mistaken for Reginald?"
43198Do you know of a room to let in a decent house in the neighbourhood, where they would give their young man lodger a latchkey?"
43198Do you know the Square at all, Pond?"
43198Do you know what he said to me?
43198Do you know what kind of a night it is, lad?
43198Do you know what they''re saying?
43198Do you know what you are saying, my lad?"
43198Do you mean to tell me that this little matter of business, and this voyage of discovery, as you call it, does n''t concern us?"
43198Do you not feel proud in having a partner so bold and daring?
43198Do you recognise it as one of Mr. Samuel Boyd''s regular visiting cards?"
43198Do you recognise it?"
43198Do you recollect the morning you went to your first situation, and how we all stood at the street door to see you off?
43198Do you remember that pitiful hoarse voice of hers, uncle, on the night of the fog, when she said,''You_ will_ find father, wo n''t you, sir?''"
43198Do you remember this case, uncle?"
43198Do you say that you received a letter from the deceased on a date subsequent to Friday, the 1st of March?"
43198Do you think I have been lying?"
43198Do you think I''m clever enough to have invented the story?"
43198Do you think dear mother and father will come to me?"
43198Do you think father''s dead?"
43198Do you think he went in and out through this hole?"
43198Do you think it might be managed?
43198Do you understand?"
43198Do_ you_ know of one, Dick?"
43198Does Uncle Rob know you went there?"
43198Does the law accept it?
43198Does your patient remain in the same state?"
43198English is good enough for me; is n''t French good enough for him?
43198Fearful of venturing himself into the Square, had he sent her to ascertain whether there was any appearance of the house having been entered?
43198Florence ran down to me all in a flutter, and asked if I did n''t hear them calling out something about a murder in Catchpole Square, and what was it?
43198Foolish of him, was n''t it?"
43198For what other reason than to screen himself could he have been guilty of the suppression?
43198For what reason were the books of accounts and the private papers of the murdered man removed?
43198Foreman?"
43198From whom, or from what quarter, who shall say?
43198Get on, will you?
43198Gracie( turning to Mr. Pallaret, one hand hanging down in her mother''s tender clasp):"May I go on, now, sir?"
43198Had Mr. Boyd any other residence in which he and his son were in the habit of meeting?
43198Had the word really been uttered, and by whom?
43198Had you not better change them?"
43198Has Uncle Rob got another day''s leave of absence from the office?"
43198Has he been spirited away?
43198Has she gone to the''inkage''too?"
43198Has your spectre appeared again?"
43198Have I delayed too long?
43198Have any of you seen little Gracie Death to- day?"
43198Have n''t I enough to bear without this being thrown in my teeth?"
43198Have n''t any?"
43198Have we heard from our missing friend?"
43198Have you any idea where the reptile lives?"
43198Have you any knowledge of this clerk?"
43198Have you anything more to say?"
43198Have you ever passed under any other name?"
43198Have you ever passed under any other name?"
43198Have you formed an opinion?"
43198Have you found father, sir?"
43198Have you got a teaspoon?"
43198Have you had breakfast?"
43198Have you seen Mrs. Death and her little girl?"
43198Have you some secret hoard of wealth which you have hidden from me?''
43198Have you the key of the street door?"
43198Have you the visiting card Mr. Boyd gave your servant in Bournemouth?"
43198Have you?"
43198He pulled out his bull''s- eye lamp and held it up to Dick''s face, who laughingly said,"Well, what do you make of my face?
43198He would go himself and say,''What have you got against me?
43198How about that bullet in the wall, and the blood- stains on the floor?"
43198How can I be certain?
43198How could I help that, sir-- I ask you, how could I help that?"
43198How could he explain away his possession of the rope?
43198How could such an idea have got into his head?"
43198How could you have been ignorant of the relationship when Mrs. Death came to the Bishop Street Police Station?"
43198How did people do without gas?
43198How did people do without reading?
43198How did the men you suspect get out of the house?"
43198How did they do without electricity?
43198How did they do without steam?
43198How did you cut your hand?"
43198How did you get into the house?"
43198How did you know it was a man?"
43198How do you know I''m not acting under instructions to track and catch the murderer or murderers of Samuel Boyd?
43198How do you know"--here he leaned forward, and tapped Mr. Higgins confidentially on the breast--"that I''m not in the secret service myself?
43198How does love come, Dick?
43198How does that juryman fellow become so familiar with our private affairs?
43198How does that suit your book?
43198How is it that in your evidence on Monday you said nothing of this bullet?"
43198How is my dear mother-- and my dear father-- how are they, Dick?"
43198How is the light produced?"
43198How long a time elapsed before you had recourse to your flashlight?"
43198How shall I protect myself except by showing the world that I court the most searching inquiry?
43198How should he act?
43198How to account for that?
43198How to tie them, how to tie them?"
43198How to ward this danger from Florence?
43198How will that suit you, my honest tradesman?
43198How would you like to have the papers down on you as well as the police?
43198How''s poor father?
43198How''s the fire engines to get to you?
43198How''s the little girl?"
43198How''s the treasury, lad?"
43198I ask you again, where is my father?"
43198I catch sight of his face, and who do you think it was?"
43198I do n''t think I can accept less than a minute and a half for the accomplishment of the work I have described?"
43198I have lost my husband-- am I to lose my Gracie, too?"
43198I may speak to you, dear, as a sister to a brother, may I not?"
43198I might deny it if I chose, and then, my honest tradesman, who would take your word against mine?
43198I nursed you through the whooping cough and scarlatina without a doctor, and are you any the worse for it?
43198I presume there is no doubt in your minds that a murder has been committed?''
43198I put it to you, Robson, old man, whether it is n''t better that the arrest should be made by a friendly hand than by the hand of a stranger?
43198I said I''d find father, did n''t I?"
43198I sneaks up to the boy, and says,''Is that the master?''
43198I suppose, Dick, all this time you have n''t saved a penny-- eh?"
43198I was nursing my baby again, and would you believe it?
43198I''m only waiting here till the verdict''s given, and then----""And then?"
43198If I had anything to fear is it likely that I''d be going about in open daylight sticking up these bills?
43198If it is n''t money, is it a woman?"
43198If this were so, for what reason did he make it public, when he was not to be found there?
43198If we had Samuel Boyd''s money we''d do better with it, would n''t we, Pond?
43198If you were born in Geneva the record of your birth will be found there?"
43198In Catchpole Square?"
43198In a certain sense, unique, for who would expect to find Alnaschar dreams floating among the fleshpots of Egypt?
43198In a few months I shall-- shall-- what is the word for it?
43198In heaven''s name what took her there at that hour of the night?
43198In its whispering voices would the word MURDER have found a place?
43198In mine?
43198In the presence of misfortune so undeserved, of suffering so keen, how could he breathe a word against her husband?
43198In yours?
43198Inspector Robson( after a pause):"Will you put the question in more direct terms, Mr. Coroner?
43198Inspector Robson, do you positively swear that the body you saw is that of Mr. Samuel Boyd?"
43198Inspector Robson, pale as death, grasped Dick''s hand, and in a husky voice asked,"Is she well?"
43198Is Florence upstairs?"
43198Is Lambert acting on his own responsibility?"
43198Is he afraid of somebody?
43198Is he caught?"
43198Is he feeling any better?"
43198Is he hunting for the tiger, and has he got a clue?
43198Is he keeping an eye upon Reginald?"
43198Is it Pond?"
43198Is it agreed to?
43198Is it in nature that I should sit idly down under such imputations?
43198Is it over?"
43198Is it possible that he also has been murdered?
43198Is it still under repair?"
43198Is it supposed to be a man or a woman?"
43198Is it the work of an honest man to oppress and malign us?"
43198Is it within your knowledge that your father kept a pistol by him?"
43198Is it worth considering?"
43198Is not that enough to base an opinion upon?"
43198Is she any better?"
43198Is she in court?"
43198Is she safe, is she well?
43198Is that Mr. Ezra Lynn?"
43198Is that called a crime?
43198Is that so-- is that so?
43198Is that the house in which the victim lies?"
43198Is the property there?
43198Is there a door loose in one of them?"
43198Is there any clue?
43198Is there any connection between his disappearance and the disappearance of Abel Death?
43198Is there any justice in the world?"
43198Is there any magistrate''s court in London where your oath would be believed, much less your word?
43198Is there anybody in the Square?
43198Is this a court of justice?"
43198Is this quite clear to you?"
43198Is this your little one?"
43198Is what this brute is doing manly, is it fair, is it English-- that''s the point, is it English?"
43198Is your room let yet?"
43198Is_ this_ worth while?"
43198It being evident that Mr. Higgins expected him to offer an observation on the libel, he said,"Who may this individual be?
43198It is news to you, then, that he was brought before the magistrate this morning?"
43198It occurs to me at this moment to inquire whether mystery is the offspring of romance, or romance the offspring of mystery?"
43198It produced a good effect, but will it assist Mr. Reginald Boyd?
43198It was an artful trick, was n''t it, sir?
43198It was to make me a partner in the risk, was it not?"
43198It''s a large order, ai n''t it, Dick?"
43198It''s nothing to worry about?
43198It''s pretty, ai n''t it?
43198It''s too bad, ai n''t it?"
43198Justice, eh, holding the scales?
43198Lady Wharton:"Whom do you mean by the deceased?"
43198Lambert?"
43198Lambert?"
43198Life brings a peck of worries in its train-- why should we make the peck overflow-- o- ver- flow?"
43198Look around the court, and tell me whether you see the other man?"
43198Looks like it, do n''t it?
43198May I ask if you got this handkerchief from the lady whose name is marked on it?"
43198May I eat my loaf here?"
43198May I inquire your name, or shall I call it the Portrait of a Gentleman who Carried the Street Door Key?"
43198May we continue the conversation on the lines that will suit you?"
43198May we not call such a knowledge a secret?"
43198May you not have been deceived by an accidental likeness to Mr. Samuel Boyd in the person who presented himself?"
43198Money?"
43198Mr. Finnis:"Evidence of identification, I understand?"
43198Mr. Finnis:"Will you, then Mr. Coroner, ask him at what hour in the morning he made the discovery?
43198Mr. Marlow:"Is not my learned friend wandering from the case we are investigating-- the murder of Samuel Boyd of Catchpole Square?"
43198Mr. Pallaret:"Still you may be mistaken?"
43198Mr. Reginald Boyd( with warmth):"Is that a fair remark from one of the jury?"
43198Mr. Reginald Boyd:"Why not, Mr. Coroner?
43198Murder?"
43198Need I say more?"
43198Not being a regular one, what business did she have there?
43198Not the murder?"
43198Now can I have a few words with you about your husband?"
43198Now right about face, and what do you see?"
43198Now where did I leave off?
43198Now, I ask you whether, during those eleven days, you had frequent communication with Mr. Ezra Lynn?"
43198Now, father, what did the detective have to say to you?
43198Now, how does the prisoner, Reginald Boyd, stand in relation to what took place on that night?
43198Now, the question is, are you here upon business?
43198Now, what are they going to do with it when she can swear to every bit of it?"
43198Now, what is the meaning of that?
43198Now, what motive had Samuel Boyd for murdering Abel Death-- always supposing, Dick, that there was a murder?
43198Now, who could Dick have been referring to as he repeated these lines with a thoughtful face?
43198Now, who''s the captain?"
43198Now, who''s to attend to his interests?
43198Now,_ do_ you understand that?"
43198Oh, what can have become of him?"
43198Ought I to go to her at once?
43198Ought such a monster to be allowed to sit on a jury?"
43198Pallaret?"
43198Pond?"
43198Pond?"
43198Put yourself in his place, and say whether, if you loved a girl as he loves me, you could bear the idea of losing her?"
43198Pye at home?''
43198Pye at home?''
43198Pye?"
43198Pye?"
43198Pye?"
43198Queer sort of assistant for me to pick up?"
43198Queer start, is n''t it?"
43198Query-- Did Abel Death and Reginald meet?
43198Query-- Who attended to him?
43198Rawdon?"
43198Rawdon?''
43198Reason why?
43198Reginald?"
43198Reginald?"
43198Remington?"
43198Remington?"
43198Remington?"
43198Remington?"
43198Robson?"
43198Shall I lend you a five pound note?"
43198Shall I proceed?"
43198Shall I recapitulate the particulars of a later incident in this affair?
43198Shall we go into partnership, you and I?"
43198Shall we proceed to business?"
43198Shall we?"
43198Shall you report it?"
43198She drew her breath hard as she added without any show of feeling,"You_ will_ find father, wo n''t you?
43198Shorn of their glory they sink into the background, and no small punter so poor to do them reverence?
43198Should you say it was in Mr. Samuel Boyd''s handwriting?"
43198So we got away together, and where do you think we got to?"
43198So what I say is, to save a scene, would n''t it be a good thing to get your wife and daughter out of the way?"
43198So, Dr. Vinsen speaks against me?"
43198So-- you did not go down to the postman when he knocked?"
43198Something got in your throat?"
43198Supposing he did not wish to go back, how did he get out of it?"
43198Surely you did not expect to find your father there?"
43198Tell me that?
43198Tell us as much as you can?"
43198That is how it was done?"
43198That poor woman, Mrs. Abel Death, has had no news of her husband-- singular, is it not?
43198That''s a big lot of money, ai n''t it?"
43198The Coroner( to Mrs. Death):"You would rather not say what is in your mind?"
43198The Coroner( to a constable):"Do you know if there is an officer in Court who lives near Catchpole Square?"
43198The Coroner:"At what hour in the morning did you enter the house?"
43198The Coroner:"Does the statement you wish to make, Inspector Robson, relate to the present inquiry?"
43198The Coroner:"Have you a watch or a clock in your rooms?"
43198The Coroner:"How did you become possessed of the latchkey?"
43198The Coroner:"In plainer terms, then, is there any relationship between you and the deceased?"
43198The Coroner:"Is there a church close by that tolls the hour?"
43198The Coroner:"It can be heard in Catchpole Square?"
43198The Coroner:"Since you were examined on Monday, have you continued your search in Mr. Samuel Boyd''s house?"
43198The Coroner:"Was the marriage between your daughter and Mr. Reginald Boyd quite recent?"
43198The Coroner:"When was the bullet found?"
43198The Coroner:"You were in the house yesterday?"
43198The Coroner:"You were, of course, aware of this when Mrs. Abel Death reported the disappearance of her husband?"
43198The Juror who had asked previous questions:"How do you know that?"
43198The Juror( to the Coroner):"Will Mr. Reginald Boyd be called?"
43198The Juror( who had taken so conspicuous a part in Monday''s proceedings):"When he spoke of his father, what were his precise words?"
43198The Juror:"Angry words passed between you and your father?"
43198The Juror:"But at some time or other occupied by another person?"
43198The Juror:"By whom?"
43198The Juror:"Can you inform us whether Mr. Reginald Boyd was on good terms with his father?"
43198The Juror:"Did you know at that time that your husband was not on good terms with his father?"
43198The Juror:"Do you think, Mr. Coroner, that the evidence on the point of time is reliable?"
43198The Juror:"Has any will been found?"
43198The Juror:"Has search been made for it?"
43198The Juror:"Have you found a pistol of any kind in the house?"
43198The Juror:"He is the only son of the deceased?"
43198The Juror:"How did you obtain admittance in the afternoon?"
43198The Juror:"How long has he been ill?"
43198The Juror:"In point of fact the heir- at- law, unless he is dispossessed by will?"
43198The Juror:"Is it the only bedroom in the house?"
43198The Juror:"Is it true that during these last two years you have been living under an assumed name?"
43198The Juror:"Might she not have been mistaken, Mr. Coroner?
43198The Juror:"Occupied by any person?"
43198The Juror:"Quarrels?"
43198The Juror:"The day following that on which Mr. Abel Death disappeared?"
43198The Juror:"Under what circumstances did he leave his father''s house?"
43198The Juror:"Well, the last person who has given evidence in this Court?"
43198The Juror:"What was the cause of the disagreement between you?"
43198The Juror:"You think it would be better to ask Mr. Reginald Boyd?"
43198The Juror:"You worked for the deceased during the time his son, Mr. Reginald Boyd, lived in the house?"
43198The Juror:"Your nephew?"
43198The Magistrate:"Has the counsel for the Crown anything to say?"
43198The Magistrate:"Who is Dick?"
43198The constable can go, ca n''t he?"
43198The first question is, does he go straight to Catchpole Square, or does he go into a public and get drunk?"
43198The stairs are safe, I hope?
43198The young man has been arrested, has he?
43198Then I asks the boy that''s reading the paper to me,''And who may that be the picture of?''
43198Then I heard a voice say,''Whose hand is that?''
43198Then he said slowly,"Who was the man?"
43198Then turning to Mrs. Death,"What is this?
43198Then what has he been doing with himself of a night all this last week?
43198There are no trapdoors in them through which a defenceless woman might suddenly disappear?"
43198There will be an inquest?"
43198There''s a large pianner in the office where father worked, and would you believe it, there''s nothing inside it?
43198There''s no accounting for things, is there, sir?"
43198There''s no mistake, is there, about your having got to your lodgings last Friday night week before twelve o''clock?"
43198They made holes in walls-- why could n''t I?
43198Things look ever so much brighter, do n''t they?"
43198Timing these various processes of thought and action, we may assume that they occupied a couple of minutes?"
43198To make sure, now-- is it a week?
43198To tell him to bear up-- what would have been the use of that?
43198To the witness:"When you arrested the accused did he offer any resistance?"
43198To what part of the country?"
43198Under his bed was found a rope and grapnel, which he purchased on Friday the 1st of March----"Mr. Pallaret:"Will the date be proved?"
43198Until the truth is known, how can any man be certain?
43198Vinsen?"
43198Vinsen?"
43198Vinsen?"
43198Vinsen?"
43198Vinsen?"
43198Vinsen?"
43198Vinsen?"
43198Vinsen?"
43198Vinsen?"
43198Vinsen?"
43198Wait?
43198Was he there?"
43198Was it Samuel Boyd''s own private key to the street door?
43198Was it not probable, aye, more than probable, that they would suspect_ him_ to be the murderer?
43198Was it to obtain money from his father?"
43198Was my heart not hardened when, at the call of love, I trod love under my feet?
43198Was n''t it enough to put a man out?
43198Was n''t it noble of him, Dick?"
43198We had a bad spell in December-- lasted two days-- you remember it, Pond?
43198We heard what that evidence was, and we''ve a lot to thank him for, have n''t we?
43198We look like it, do n''t we?"
43198We understand that you went to your father''s house in Catchpole Square to see the body of the deceased?"
43198We were examining the wall together when I said,''What is this?''
43198We were very grateful to him, and I always looked upon him as a model young gentleman till old Mr. Boyd was murdered, and then----""Why do you pause?
43198Well-- well?"
43198Well?"
43198Were those shapes and forms the only phantoms in the lonely house?
43198Were you ashamed of it?"
43198Were you to formulate a code you would make it swifter, surer-- eh, my friend?"
43198What I say is-- and anybody can take it up as likes-- where''s the indoocement to peach on a pal?"
43198What am I saying-- what am I saying?"
43198What am I to do with myself till two o''clock?"
43198What am I to do, what_ am_ I to do?
43198What are these protuberances round the rim?
43198What are they calling out?
43198What are you to do, Mr. Boyd, when you have been brought up to it?"
43198What are yours?
43198What are"all the winners"to a rattling spicy murder?
43198What brought_ them_ into the tragic mystery?
43198What cause for unhappiness when their little stomachs were filled?
43198What clear line of action did his duty point out to him?
43198What connection, then, could there be between this visit and the murder?
43198What could I do but protest?
43198What could be the meaning of those words?
43198What d''yer make of that?"
43198What day of the month is this, Dick?"
43198What design?"
43198What did I do but go to Florence when she asked me?
43198What did he mean about another case of mystery?
43198What did you do it for?
43198What did you go out for?"
43198What do I care for his bleeding heart, the infernal hypocrite?
43198What do you mean by your voyage of discovery?
43198What do you say, Applebee-- do you recognise the features?"
43198What do you say?
43198What do_ you_ call it?"
43198What does Mr. Lynn say?
43198What does he keep it shut up for?
43198What does he mean by speaking against you?"
43198What followed?
43198What happened next?"
43198What has become of him?"
43198What have I to do to- morrow?
43198What if he, Applebee, could succeed in proving himself Lambert''s equal and snatching the prize from him?
43198What if in pursuance of this moral obligation he wrecked Florence''s life, and brought upon her despair so poignant as to drive her to her grave?
43198What is it you want to know?"
43198What is it you want?"
43198What is it-- where is Florence?
43198What is money?
43198What is the sacrifice of a human life in the endeavour to wrest nature''s sublime secrets from her breast?
43198What is your opinion of Dr. Pye as a witness?"
43198What is yours, Mr. Remington?
43198What made you go to him?"
43198What made you regard as suspicious so simple a circumstance as a man coming out of the house?"
43198What makes him afraid?
43198What makes him start up all at once and go to Mrs. Death, and on the very first night he sees her give her a couple of sovereigns?
43198What may your''n be?"
43198What message has she sent?
43198What more could they desire?
43198What more do you want to convince you that before long the mystery will be cleared up?
43198What motive brings you here?"
43198What motive can he have in fixing suspicion upon me and Reginald, what motive in taking so deep an interest in Mrs. Death?
43198What name did he give?"
43198What possible or impossible part had_ they_ played in it?
43198What prospects has he got?
43198What reason has he for the suppression?''
43198What secrets are hidden in their breasts?
43198What shall I do without him?
43198What shall we do without him?"
43198What street am I in-- Riley Street or Silver Street?
43198What the devil does Joseph Pitou mean by writing to me in all the languages under the sun?
43198What was our surprise when you came home one night and told us you''d left because it would n''t suit you?
43198What was the meaning of this falsehood?
43198What was the presumption?
43198What was the result?"
43198What were the links in this chain?
43198What will Florence think when she sees your name in the papers and my name charging you?
43198What will he think-- what will his dear wife and daughter think?"
43198What will the children do without him?"
43198What will the children do without him?"
43198What would be the consequence?
43198What''s that he''s dropped?"
43198What''s that picture on the top?
43198What''s that?"
43198What''s the best thing in life worth living for, old man?"
43198What''s the child after?"
43198What''s the consequence unless he gets a scent?
43198What''s the consequence?
43198What''s the time?"
43198What''s the use of crying for the moon?
43198What''s the use of kettles?
43198What''s the verdict going to be?
43198What''s this in your hand?
43198What?
43198When a criminal is condemned to death in Gallicia do n''t they shave him?
43198When did the arrest take place?"
43198When did you know me take a man''s word?"
43198When did you read it last?"
43198When you saw the body did you receive any impression as to the length of time Mr. Boyd had been dead?"
43198Where are you, my dear, where are you?"
43198Where are your wits, you clumsy idiot?"
43198Where are"all the winners"now?
43198Where could I have been-- and where am I now?
43198Where did he go on the night of the great fog after I parted with him at three in the morning?
43198Where did we break off?
43198Where did you get to?"
43198Where does justice come in?"
43198Where is my maid from Norfolk?
43198Where is she?
43198Where shall I commence?"
43198Where was he?
43198Where''s the indoocement to peach on a pal, that''s what I want to know?"
43198Where?
43198Where?
43198Who are you, I''d like to know, puttin''_ your_ spoke in?
43198Who can tell?
43198Who could doubt that it was out of mere playfulness he gave their pronunciation of the word?
43198Who is it, Applebee?"
43198Who killed him?
43198Who knows that you have not in your pocket"--he tapped Dick''s breast with a light finger--"something that will open our minds to noble truths?
43198Who knows-- who knows?"
43198Who was the lady, and what was her business with him?
43198Who was to prove this?
43198Who''ll give_ me_ a kiss for good luck?"
43198Who''s to search for the will, supposing one was made-- which with all my heart and soul I hope was n''t?
43198Whose fingers gave him the_ coup de grace?_""Yours,"said Dr. Vinsen, in a hoarse whisper.
43198Why arrest him, then?
43198Why did I not destroy it?"
43198Why did he keep hanging round Catchpole Square night after night while Samuel Boyd was laying dead in bed?
43198Why did it not come?
43198Why do n''t you speak?
43198Why do n''t you stick to one thing, my lad?"
43198Why do n''t''e come''ome?
43198Why do you shrink from me?
43198Why do you wince?
43198Why not, when we can afford it?"
43198Why should a gentleman be spied upon when''e pays''is rent reg''lar?
43198Why should he be so generous?
43198Why should it be incumbent upon him to proclaim the murder?
43198Why should it?
43198Why should we not be able to photograph a vision created by the imagination?"
43198Why should we?
43198Why was Dr. Pye so anxious to be rid of her?
43198Why, if I knew where Dick Remington was hanging out?
43198Why, we can lay our hands upon every thief and fence in London when we want to-- do you hear?
43198Why, where else but in Samuel Boyd''s house, packing up the things?
43198Why?
43198Why?"
43198Why?"
43198Will bail be allowed?"
43198Will it be sure to get into the papers, sir, if I come to the magistrate''s court?"
43198Will they ever be brought to light and united to form another chain in the mystery?
43198Will you go and tell them everything, and ask them to forgive poor Reginald and me?"
43198Will you have some wine?"
43198Will you oblige me by looking over these figures and verifying them?"
43198With those cries ringing in my ears?
43198Wo n''t he give you time?"
43198Wot do you think?"
43198Wot gentleman could say more?
43198Wot''s the innercent man a- keepin''out of the way for?
43198Would I be justified in breaking it open?"
43198Would it be advisable, when Reginald is in his right senses, to ask him about this?
43198Would it be considered impertinent if I inquired the name of the gentleman who evinces so deep an interest in this very distressing matter?"
43198Would it be impossible to identify him with his clothes off?"
43198Would it be unfair to ask you to tell my father that I will call again at ten o''clock?
43198Would it have been right of me to bring these into conflict?"
43198Would you like to hear what is in these bills that you are going to help me stick on the walls?
43198Would you object to my dashing on the colour in an article headed,''A Night in an Inspector''s Office.''?
43198Would you say,''Go into that house and arrest the murderer of Mr. Samuel Boyd?''
43198Yes?
43198You admit that?"
43198You are aware of that?"
43198You arrived at Catchpole Square, and knocked at the door of the deceased?"
43198You call out,''Now, then, what are you up to?''
43198You can bring it to me in the country, I suppose?"
43198You can not, of course, speak with the authority of an expert, but we should like to hear what your impression was?"
43198You can tell us, perhaps, Uncle Rob-- would that be against the law?"
43198You did not need the key to open the door from within?"
43198You do like me a little, do n''t you, Dick?"
43198You do n''t do much in that way now, Dick?"
43198You do n''t object?"
43198You have come to London on special business?"
43198You have read my evidence in the case?"
43198You looked at your watch?"
43198You remember what you said about murder-- do you still hold to it?"
43198You say that you visited your father at about ten o''clock?"
43198You see our home, sir; was n''t the prospect of not being able to earn bread for us enough to break any man''s heart?"
43198You see that, do n''t you?"
43198You speak more than one language?"
43198You want to see justice done, do n''t you?"
43198You were acquainted with him?"
43198You were acquainted with the deceased?"
43198You will not shut your door against me, eh?"
43198You wo n''t disturb him, Dick?"
43198You wo n''t use the information against me?"
43198You''ll bear witness to that, wo n''t you, Gracie?"
43198You''ll come and see us?"
43198You''re not going, Dick?"
43198You''re not going, too?"
43198You''re our friend, ai n''t you, Dick?"
43198he asked,"or am I?"
43198says I to him,''and does Mr. Dick Remington give evidence at the inquest?''
43198she moaned"What shall I do without him?
43198was n''t it hot neither?
57669''What''s-- what''s in there?
57669A great artist elope with a shop- girl?
57669A mystery?
57669A search even now would be almost worth while, would n''t it?
57669A thousand?
57669Acid?
57669Afraid of ghosts?
57669After that?
57669Again, will the guilty person confess?
57669Ai n''t you got anything better to do than to catch rats?
57669All right down there?
57669All right, sir?
57669All right?
57669Am I a prisoner?
57669Am I?
57669And I suppose the country place was being put in order as a Summer residence?
57669And Jack Curtis?
57669And Miss Field?
57669And Miss Stanford?
57669And address?
57669And how did he happen to be here?
57669And how did it come that Bell was once known as Harry Pillsbury?
57669And how was the writing done?
57669And if you do not?
57669And meantime?
57669And no woman has been here to inquire for him?
57669And now, Miss Stanford,asked the scientist, in a most matter- of- fact tone,"where is the body of Miss Field?"
57669And that I''ve a perfect right to be freed if I demand it?
57669And the blood thrown on the constable and the others when the ghost was in the yard?
57669And the gas all comes through one meter?
57669And the girl? 57669 And the ladies?"
57669And the others?
57669And the picture?
57669And the receiving teller?
57669And the scrap of paper?
57669And the woman-- who is she?
57669And then?
57669And this gentleman?
57669And this is the bath robe you wore, is n''t it?
57669And what is the third request?
57669And what made you recall it?
57669And what makes you positive there was murder?
57669And what will you wear?
57669And what''s his business?
57669And where did he get the pen and ink to write with?
57669And where is his wife?
57669And where-- where does he get anything to write with?
57669And you are absolutely positive this is the man you met there?
57669And you do n''t know what you said or did from that time until the present?
57669And you never drop off to sleep at night for a few minutes when you get lonely? 57669 And you were in love with Mr. Willis-- you_ are_ in love with him?"
57669And your jailers, would they deliver a message from him?
57669And, Mr. Dunston, you will give me credit for some good, wo n''t you-- some good in that I loved you?
57669And-- tell me who and what I am?
57669Any cotton, or cloth, or anything of the sort stuffed in the cracks of the window?
57669Any draught through the office-- ever?
57669Any improvements made here in the last few years?
57669Any jewelry?
57669Any marks at all on your body?
57669Any money?
57669Any need of an ambulance?
57669Any other entrance to the basement except this way-- and you could see anyone coming here this way I suppose?
57669Any squeak about it?
57669Anybody called to ask about her?
57669Anybody ever come here to see you at night?
57669Anything done to the prison proper?
57669Anything important?
57669Are there any more questions?
57669Are you a Frenchman?
57669Are you afraid?
57669Are you going to be married?
57669Are you on friendly terms with him?
57669Are you serious?
57669Are you sure you are not Miss Austin?
57669Are you sure you want to do this?
57669Are you sure?
57669Are you sure_ you_ are not Miss Austin?
57669Because you were afraid it would bring the crime home to you?
57669Been drinking?
57669Blazing, seems to be burning up, eh? 57669 Both of you going?"
57669Both transoms closed, I suppose?
57669But Curtis''s knife and the blood on his handkerchief?
57669But how did he mail that letter?
57669But how did the girl get there?
57669But how did you do it?
57669But if not aphasia, what was it? 57669 But the money?"
57669But the-- you had two tens and a five-- what the-- how do you do it?
57669But what could have happened to Miss Field?
57669But what if there had been no Mr. Hatch outside to help?
57669But who do you think committed the crime?
57669But would you consider a proposition to help me get out?
57669But you did n''t notice particularly that some were not dusty?
57669But your actually leaving the prison grounds and then coming in through the outer gate to my office?
57669By the way, what kind of looking woman was Miss Melrose?
57669By the way,the other went on,"do you happen to remember the name of that Winter Street store that Curtis went in?"
57669Ca n''t you go down with us to- night?
57669Cabell does n''t happen to be a vindictive sort of man?
57669Can I see him a moment? 57669 Can you imagine any way it could be done?"
57669Cashier Bell?
57669Cashier of the Blank National Bank of Butte, Montana?
57669Cold, Marguerite?
57669Could anyone outside hear that, for instance?
57669Could she, wearing an automobile mask, see either side of herself without turning?
57669Could you give me his address?
57669Counterfeit?
57669Counterfeit?
57669Cracks in the doors stuffed?

57669Did he do that?
57669Did he inherit any money?
57669Did he say anything about a family?
57669Did it come from inside or outside the prison?

57669Did you notice the handwriting?
57669Did you search his rooms?
57669Did you see Ernest Weston''s handwriting?
57669Did you send down your man O''Heagan?
57669Did you smell anything like chloroform or ether when you were in St. George''s apartments?
57669Did you-- did you find them in Mr. Willis''s possession?
57669Do I look like a man who would commit murder?
57669Do n''t know his own name?
57669Do n''t you know me?
57669Do n''t you remember me, John?
57669Do n''t you see?
57669Do you admit that it was a fair test?
57669Do you believe it now?
57669Do you believe that John Doane is his name?
57669Do you deny it?

57669Does he know that you are accused of murder?
57669Does it give out any light? 57669 Does it occur to you that there is any connection whatever between Henley and Miss Regnier?"
57669Does n''t it strike you as perfectly possible, Mr. Hatch,he asked finally,"that Miss Melrose_ did_ kill herself?"
57669Does that look like counterfeit to you?
57669Does the gas in the house all come through the same meter?
57669Does the word mean anything to you?
57669Escaped?
57669Ever use that flagpole?
57669Everything all right in Cell 13?
57669Find it?
57669Find the jewels?
57669Find them?
57669Four? 57669 French, is n''t he?"
57669Going away to- night?
57669Golden hair?
57669Got what?
57669Had she ever refused to marry you?
57669Had you saved any money while working in your other positions?
57669Harrison-- do you know him?
57669Has Mr. Willis ever shown you any attention?
57669Has St. George a revolver?
57669Has anybody who lives in the village seen the ghost?

57669He used to be in love with Miss Lipscomb of Virginia, did n''t he?
57669He''s now in Boston?
57669Heard the news?
57669Her name?
57669His wife? 57669 His wife?"
57669How about inquiries in this city?
57669How about the airship?
57669How about you, Hatch?
57669How did Bell happen to have that$ 10,000?
57669How did Mr. Hatch happen to come with the electricians?
57669How did you do it?
57669How did you do it?
57669How did you do it?
57669How did you live those two years from the time you left the Hartford Bank until you accepted this position?
57669How do you account for it?
57669How far away is the water?
57669How far is the river over there?
57669How far?
57669How long ago was that?
57669How long have you been employed here?
57669How long have you been with the Ralston National?
57669How long would it take you to get to the studio?
57669How many electricians came in?
57669How many men?
57669How many women employed in the bank?
57669How much have you got in there to- night?
57669How was it disarranged?
57669How was it that the shot the constable fired did n''t break the mirror?
57669How was she dressed?
57669How''s Pittsburg?
57669How''s your head?
57669How-- how-- how did you do it?
57669How? 57669 How?"
57669How?
57669How?
57669How?
57669I believe she wore a veil and an automobile mask at the time she was killed?
57669I believe you said you had some information for me?
57669I do n''t suppose it''s very serious if a man proposes to a girl seven times, is it?
57669I do n''t suppose there''s any chance of her returning here unexpectedly if I should happen to take her apartments?
57669I do n''t suppose you ever had occasion to handle the gas meter?
57669I fainted, did n''t I?
57669I hated to trouble you so late,said the reporter, and she smiled at him frankly,"but I would like to ask if you have ever seen these?"
57669I have one, yes, but I do n''t think-- I do n''t believe Grace----"Would like to have it published?
57669I mean where is the home of John Doane?
57669I presume you examine and know that the time check in the engineer''s room is properly punched every half- hour during the night?
57669I suppose I may speak with absolute frankness?
57669I suppose St. George''s case is hopeless?
57669I suppose the shooting of Henley upset him considerably?
57669I suppose there''s no way of telling just who in the house uses gas?
57669I suppose they are very small?
57669I suppose you consider that this turning on of the gas was an attempt on your life?
57669I suppose you''ll do everything possible to find Miss Field?
57669I think I''ll run in and scare up some sort of a hot drink, if you''ll excuse me?
57669I understand some blood was thrown on you at the Weston place the other night?
57669I understood Medical Examiner Francis to say she had dark hair?
57669I wonder if you would give me a card of introduction to him? 57669 I''ve had reason to believe so,"she said, finally,"though----""And you?"
57669I''ve just gotten a letter from Springfield stating that he was there on the day Grace went away-- and----"Know who did n''t do what?
57669I-- have we, Jean?
57669If she was in this plot to kill Henley, why did she light the jet in her room? 57669 If this William Dineen is at large you believe he did this?"
57669In a good humor?
57669In that case is he what he pretends to be-- a man who does n''t know himself?
57669In the last two months?
57669In what respect?
57669Indeed?
57669Is Mr. Cabell here?
57669Is Mr. St. George in his apartments?
57669Is Mr. Willis yet under arrest?
57669Is he dead?
57669Is he in love with you?
57669Is he still here?
57669Is he under arrest?
57669Is he unpacking?
57669Is her picture in the Rogues''Gallery?
57669Is it Mr. Curtis''s knife?
57669Is it Reid''s knife?
57669Is it anything like the handwriting you write now?
57669Is it possible for anyone to overhear us here?
57669Is it too late for anyone to get down from Boston to- night?
57669Is it your knife?
57669Is it?
57669Is that the same?
57669Is that you, Marguerite?
57669Is there a doctor near here?
57669Is there a key to his place? 57669 Is there any man with whom our friend would come in contact that he could bribe with twenty- five dollars?"
57669Is there any question about the letter being in her handwriting?
57669Is there any question but that Miss Dow did elope with Mr. Mason and not some other man?
57669Is there anything I could tell you?
57669Is there anything to connect Mr. Willis directly with the--_the murder?_The reporter started to say something, then paused.
57669Is there nothing you can do? 57669 Is this a joke?"
57669Is this a third degree?
57669Is this the place?
57669Is your mind clear now? 57669 Is your night engineer perfectly trustworthy?"
57669It is a semi- nude picture, is n''t it?
57669It is reasonable to suppose, then, that there was a third man and that he got away with the jewels?
57669It might be better for you if you told the story then?
57669It will be impossible for him to communicate with anyone outside?
57669It''s perfectly hideous, is n''t it?
57669Just how much was the gas turned on?
57669Just what was said, Mr. Hatch, before he collapsed?
57669Just where was the man who operated the phantom?
57669Knew what would be which way?
57669Last time I saw you was in Pittsburg, was n''t it?
57669Lend me your revolver?
57669Light all right, eh?
57669Lord, it''s amazing, is n''t it? 57669 Man or woman''s?"
57669Man''s or woman''s?
57669Marguerite Melrose, an actress, was stabbed through the heart last night, and----"Murder?
57669May I look them over?
57669May I see it?
57669May I see them?
57669May I sit there a moment?
57669Might it not have been suicide?
57669Miss Clarke, is young Dunston in love with you?
57669Miss Clarke, would you like to explain anything?
57669Miss Dow?
57669Miss Dow?
57669Miss Field knew him before you did, I think you said?
57669Mr. Curtis, why did you try to induce Dr. Leonard to give up the knife to you?
57669Mrs. Doane, do you happen to be acquainted with a drug which produces temporary loss of memory?
57669Murder?
57669My husband? 57669 Name of the maker on it?"
57669Name?
57669Name?
57669Nine inches of that shirt?
57669No chance at all for Cabell?
57669No glimpse of her hair?
57669No laundry marks on your linen either, I suppose?
57669No one thinks for a----"Well, well, the handkerchief?
57669No, my God, man, ca n''t you see?
57669Nobody else has been overcome as he has been?
57669Nobody ran away from the machine as you went out?
57669Not be back?
57669Not on a night as dark as this?
57669Not?--not?--what do you mean?
57669Now, Mr. Cabell, will you please tell me just who Miss Austin is, and where she is, and her mental condition? 57669 Now, please, what does it all mean?"
57669Now, what one person knew most about the jewels? 57669 Now, what shall I do?"
57669Now, what was the plot? 57669 Now, where is Miss Dow?"
57669Now, why did Miss Clarke tell me that? 57669 Of course you know you were mistaken?"
57669Of course, in the event he fails,said Dr. Ransome,"and asks for his liberty, you understand you are to set him free?"
57669Oh, John, do n''t you remember me?
57669Oh, Miss Clarke, before you go, would you write just a short note for me?
57669Oh, that? 57669 Oh, you shut it off to- night, then?"
57669Or her exact relationship to Cabell?
57669Or her precise mental condition?
57669Or was he there as a visitor, as you were?
57669Permitted?
57669Plan number three fails, eh?
57669Possibly an elopement?
57669President of the Blank National Bank of Butte?
57669Preston Bell?
57669Professor Van Dusen here?
57669Professor Van Dusen?
57669Ready to give it up?
57669See?
57669Shall I ask some questions?
57669Shall I tell what happened next?
57669Shall we not, dear?
57669She in Chicago,_ with-- her husband?_"Yes, sir.
57669Smell anything?
57669So when you ran and the-- the THING moved away or disappeared you found yourself in the library?
57669Some one was arrested for this, and you want to give me the name of that man?
57669Speak English at all?
57669Suppose we were seeking a motive for Miss Melrose''s suicide, what would we have? 57669 Suppose, having made up her mind to kill herself, she had sought a weapon?"
57669Suppose-- just suppose-- there had been no old plumbing system there?
57669Take what away?
57669That a tailor- made suit?
57669That all?
57669That being true, it is perfectly possible that she was his ideal for a wife, is n''t it?
57669That was last night, eh?
57669That would be a good haul for some one-- if they could get it, eh, West?
57669That''s where the other thing happened, is n''t it?
57669That''s where the screw was, is n''t it?
57669The capital D''s?
57669The drainage pipes of the prison lead to the river, do n''t they?
57669The ghost down on the South Shore, or my forthcoming marriage?
57669The ghost, then, was----?
57669The ghost-- where is he?
57669The girl who eloped last night with Morgan Mason?
57669The guard brought_ you_ those, then?
57669The letter from Miss Dow in Chicago?
57669The man who eloped with Miss Dow?
57669The manager or a hall boy?
57669The name Doane is not familiar to you?
57669The perfume?
57669Then what is he? 57669 There I saw,"he went on with an effort,"a woman-- just a glimpse of her, over the heads of the others in the store-- and----""And what?"
57669Therefore you must have run from the reception- room through the door into the library?
57669Therefore, where was she? 57669 They were to marry and come here?"
57669This gentleman has good medical attention, I suppose?
57669This is your valet?
57669Those who are innocent will agree readily, of course; will all agree?
57669Three years, was n''t it, Harry?
57669To- morrow night?
57669Too bad, is n''t it?
57669Two big electric lights in front of the building, are n''t there?
57669Used to be?
57669Vindictive?
57669Voice, but not human?
57669Want a cup of coffee or something?
57669Was Henley ever a party to a liaison of any kind? 57669 Was Miss Austin ailing any way?"
57669Was it a man''s or woman''s writing?
57669Was it anything like the handwriting of the broker-- what''s- his- name?--Ernest Weston?
57669Was she blonde or brunette?
57669Was that all?
57669Weldon Henley?
57669Well, do you make it?
57669Well, do you really think it necessary in my case?
57669Well, has n''t the work of repairing begun?
57669Well, how-- in what manner-- did it come where you found it?
57669Well, if that-- what-- what do you think of that?
57669Well, now what do you think o''that?
57669Well, say, is there anything I can do for you?
57669Well, then, suppose we say the constable and you and I?
57669Well, what is it this time?
57669Well, what is it?
57669Well, what was it?
57669Well?
57669Well?

57669Well?
57669Were both the doors of the room closed?
57669Were the jewels ever found?
57669Were there any other admirers you know of?
57669What are you trying to do?
57669What day of the month is it?
57669What did it say?
57669What did she look like?
57669What did the young woman look like?
57669What did you hear?

57669What did you write it with?
57669What did you write this with?
57669What did you_ think_ you saw?
57669What direction was the car going when it struck?
57669What do you know about it?
57669What does it all mean?
57669What does it seem to be?
57669What elopement?
57669What happened at the bank?
57669What happened to you this afternoon in Winter Street?
57669What happened to- night-- what frightened you just now?
57669What happened?
57669What happened?
57669What hit me, anyhow?
57669What is all this, anyway?
57669What is all this?
57669What is his salary at the bank?

57669What is it?
57669What is it?
57669What is it?
57669What is it?
57669What is more natural than she should have sought something-- the knife, say-- in the tool bag or kit, which must have been near her? 57669 What is more possible than that they are together somewhere?"
57669What is that noise in there?
57669What is the spook story, anyway?
57669What remained? 57669 What sort of a club is the Lincoln?"
57669What sort of a ghost was it?
57669What the deuce does it mean, anyhow?
57669What time did this gentleman come here?
57669What was it, a file?
57669What was it-- a voice?
57669What was it?
57669What was more possible than Mr. Henley and Miss Regnier had been acquainted? 57669 What was the cause of your sudden determination to go South to- night?"
57669What was the motive for murder?
57669What was this?
57669What were the circumstances, exactly?
57669What woman?
57669What''s his attitude toward Henley now?

57669What?
57669What?
57669What?
57669What_ do_ you know? 57669 What_ is_ the matter with her?"
57669When did you last see Mr. Willis have a revolver?
57669When did you see him last?
57669When does the inspector come here to read the meter?
57669When you went over the house in daylight, did you notice if any of the mirrors were dusty?
57669Where are we going?
57669Where are we going?
57669Where are you from?
57669Where are you going?
57669Where did it come from?
57669Where did it come from?
57669Where did you carry it when it was not in your auto kit?
57669Where do you usually sit at night here?
57669Where is the handkerchief?

57669Where was the handkerchief found?
57669Where''re we going?
57669Where-- how did you get it?
57669Where?

57669Who shot him? 57669 Who shot you?"
57669Who was that?
57669Who was the woman?
57669Who''s that?
57669Who-- what-- who is she?
57669Who-- who was murdered, then?
57669Who?
57669Whom do you understand he is to marry?
57669Why did n''t I think of that before?
57669Why did you bring them, then?
57669Why did you never ask Miss Melrose to marry you?
57669Why did you say sell copper?
57669Why do you ask me?
57669Why do you tell me?
57669Why does he have a light at all?
57669Why not unlocked?
57669Why was the door smashed in?
57669Why-- what-- what is all this?
57669Why?
57669Why?
57669Why?
57669Why?
57669Why?
57669Why?
57669Why?
57669Why?
57669Will the girl recover?
57669Will this cell do, gentlemen?
57669Will you go with us?
57669Will you tell how you did it or shall I?
57669With the gas turned on?
57669With the mask on you could n''t see her face?
57669Wo n''t you tell us?
57669Would it be possible for me to see Miss Stanford for just a moment?
57669Would it be possible for us to see the gentleman who was hurt?
57669Would it be possible for you to leave a little water in a bowl for me?
57669Would you be convinced if I did not?
57669Would you be willing to try it?
57669Would you consider a financial reward for aiding me to escape?
57669Would you mind telling me why you were so anxious to get away to- night?
57669Would you mind turning your car a little so I can run in off the road?
57669Yes, and about Miss Clarke----"Yes; what about her?
57669Yes, and what else?
57669You are in the engine room or near it all night every night?
57669You are positive this gentleman is your husband?
57669You believe, then, that she did kill herself?
57669You ca n''t recall a wife or children?
57669You do n''t doubt but what it was murder?
57669You feel that an explanation is due?
57669You figure that the THING, as you call it, must have been just about in the door?
57669You have no electricians in the building?
57669You have presented an abstract problem,The Thinking Machine went on,"and I presume you want a solution of it, no matter where it hits?"
57669You have?
57669You know, of course, that this man is_ not_ your husband?
57669You left that door closed that day?
57669You mean you could actually_ think_ yourself out?
57669You realize that it is perfectly possible that John Doane is your name?
57669You were in love with Miss Melrose?
57669You will permit yourself to be searched, of course?
57669You wiped it off with your handkerchief?
57669You''ll never say anything about that other thing-- the knife-- will you?
57669Your friend Reid did n''t happen to be in love with her, too, did he?
57669Your story? 57669 Your wife?
576698 hat?
57669A drug?
57669A ghost?
57669A ghost?
57669A noise made by the apparition itself?
57669Am I right, Miss Clarke?"
57669And I believe the cause of justice, Mr. Mallory, requires absolute accuracy and clarity in all things, does it not?"
57669Any one with him?
57669Are you trying to make a mystery out of this?"
57669Are you willing?"
57669Are you willing?"
57669Are you?"
57669Attempted extortion?
57669Banker?
57669Be here in ten minutes?
57669Being in a highly nervous condition, she lost faith in Mason and in herself, and perhaps mentioned suicide?"
57669But did the pipe end in the water or on land?
57669But how was the thing written?
57669But if this man were_ Preston Bell_, how came the signature there?
57669By a letter?
57669Can you come on immediately?
57669Can you see the floor or walls or anything by the light of the figure itself?"
57669Could I communicate with some one outside with these things at hand?
57669Could you escape?"
57669Dead or alive?
57669Did George Weston have a motor- boat?
57669Did Mr. Hatch smell anything?
57669Did it mean"kill you"or"will you"or"till you"or-- or what?
57669Did these waiters see Mr. Reid?
57669Did you ever see a cowboy?"
57669Did you see St. George''s handwriting?"
57669Do n''t you recall ever having seen one?"
57669Do n''t you remember me?"
57669Do n''t you remember me?"
57669Do n''t you see?"
57669Do they know?"
57669Do you know John Doane?"
57669Do you know John Doane?"
57669Do you know John Doane?"
57669Do you remember things?"
57669Do you see?
57669Do you think it was an attempt to kill Henley?"
57669Do you want to add anything?"
57669Doane?"
57669Does this thing do it?
57669Don?"
57669Doze, I mean?"
57669Ernest Weston, the owner, had not spoken since before the-- the THING appeared there in the reception- room, or was it in the library?
57669Financier?
57669Frock coat and silk hat?
57669George?"
57669George?"
57669George?"
57669George?"
57669Had Miss Dow eloped with some one besides Mason?
57669Had he a rival who might desire his death?
57669Had he any rival?
57669Had he recently acquired any new information as to these jewels?
57669Harry what?"
57669Harry-- Harry-- what?"
57669Has he a family?
57669Hatch?"
57669Hatch?"
57669Hatch?"
57669Hatch?"
57669Hate?
57669Have you anything to add?"
57669Have you heard much about this ghost story?"
57669Have you that first linen note, warden?"
57669He leaned over her, and asked one question:"What system of shorthand do you write?"
57669Henley?"
57669How can I help you?"
57669How did I know?
57669How did any one go into Henley''s rooms to shut off the gas?
57669How did you know that?"
57669How many heirs were there?
57669How much did each one get?
57669How was it Miss Regnier was dead?
57669How was it the gas was put out at no time of the score or more nights Mr. Henley himself kept watch?
57669How was the plotter to satisfy himself positively of the time when Mr. Henley was asleep?
57669How was this watch kept?
57669How''s Mr. Fraser?
57669How?
57669How?
57669How?
57669How?
57669How?
57669How?
57669How?
57669How?
57669I believe the first remark he heard was that copper had gone to smash-- down, I presume that means?"
57669I do n''t suppose you know anything else about it?"
57669I have been out of the city for several weeks, and---- What''s the matter?"
57669I presume in daytime, eh Bill?"
57669If she had been reading by the gas light, how was it then that it went out and suffocated her before she could arise and shut it off?
57669If she had eloped with him I would not have been surprised, but I am positive she did not, and if she did not, where is she?"
57669If so, who?
57669If so, whose?"
57669In his rooms?
57669In it he asked these questions:"Has there ever been any financial trouble in Blank National Bank?
57669In what way?
57669Instantly in my mind the question was aroused: Was it_ Miss Melrose_ who was killed?
57669Is he at home now?
57669Is he here?"
57669Is it clear?"
57669Is she dead?"
57669Is that perfectly clear to you?"
57669Is that right?"
57669Is that so?"
57669Is there any possible question lingering yet in your mind?"
57669Is there anyone else?
57669It all comes to the one vital question: Who in the bank uses perfume?"
57669It would be rather a queer state of affairs if, say, a fortune in jewels should be concealed somewhere about the place, would n''t it?"
57669Jealousy of what?
57669Jealousy?
57669Just what is it you want me to answer?"
57669Knew her how?
57669Lawyer?
57669Love?
57669Mallory?"
57669Mallory?"
57669Man or woman?
57669May I see it?"
57669Meanwhile where is Harrison?"
57669Money?
57669Motive?
57669Mr. St. George did leave his apartments at the time I mentioned, and----""But why, how?"
57669Not afraid, are you?"
57669Now the question is-- who?
57669Now who was that person?
57669Now will you talk?"
57669Oh, it has disappeared?
57669On the water, out of reach of newspapers?
57669One electrician too many?
57669Or, if she had had the knife, could you have seen it?"
57669Part of the office regulation?
57669Please, please, is he here?"
57669Ransome?"
57669Remember that jack full I held?
57669Speak to anyone in the inn?
57669Still unconscious?
57669Suppose she had been cast off because of the engagement to a young woman of Henley''s own level?
57669Suppose she had confided in the valet here?
57669Suppose she stabbed herself while the men were away from the automobile, or even after they had started on again in the darkness?"
57669That is, does it light up a room, for instance?"
57669That is, knowing it yourself now, do you have any reason to suppose that he previously knew?"
57669That''s when it was done, is n''t it?"
57669The Thinking Machine read the newspaper account and turned to the reporter with a question:"Did you see Willis''s handwriting?"
57669The Thinking Machine sat for a long time squinting at the ceiling, then asked, abruptly:"Have you seen Mr. Weston, the owner?"
57669The Thinking Machine was the first to break the silence:"You believe Cabell is the man who attempted to kill Henley?"
57669The next question was how was a watch kept on Mr. Henley?
57669The night man, I mean?"
57669The question was: Would it reach him?
57669The three men, with final goodnights, were turning away when The Thinking Machine called:"What time is it exactly, warden?"
57669Then came the dread misty light in the reception- hall, or was it in the library?
57669Then he asked another question:"Who attends to those arc lights?"
57669Then the man?
57669Then what did I have?
57669Then, What?
57669Then, after a pause:"You say the figure is white and seems to be flaming?"
57669Then:"Do n''t you remember me?"
57669Then:"How long has Cabell been in Boston?"
57669Then:"Is Miss Dow a blonde or brunette?"
57669Then:"You know I''m not a criminal, do n''t you?"
57669There were many things he did not understand, but the principal question in his mind took form:"Why did you turn Curtis over to the police, then?"
57669Therefore still the question-- how?
57669Therefore was it his?
57669Therefore what was this noise?
57669Therefore, where did it come from?
57669They stepped inside as a man''s voice called from another room:"Who is it?"
57669They were things which would have been permitted any prisoner under sentence of death, were they not, warden?"
57669Three workmen in jumpers and overalls and the manager?
57669To whom?
57669Two came out?"
57669Two reporters, eh?
57669Was Bell also a thief?
57669Was Miss Melrose dead at all?
57669Was it possible that she killed Miss Melrose?
57669Was it possible that the stranger Manning was backing the woman in an effort to get the$ 10,000?
57669Was it the purpose to keep the workmen away?
57669Was she acting under the direction of some one else?
57669Was the doctor in?
57669Was there an embezzlement or shortage at any time?
57669Was there ever a murder in that house?"
57669West?"
57669What about him?"
57669What caused his condition?
57669What happened?"
57669What is his real name?
57669What is it all, anyway?"
57669What is it, please?"
57669What is it?
57669What is it?
57669What is my name?"
57669What is reputation of Cashier Bell?
57669What is reputation of President Harrison?
57669What motive?
57669What person would have a motive to kill Henley?"
57669What possible connection could this tiny bit of scarlet thread, found on a flagpole, have with some one shutting off the gas in Henley''s rooms?
57669What strange power was to bring St. George, who for two days had denied himself to everyone, out of that studio, if, indeed, he were there?
57669What was the manner of her death?
57669What''s he accused of?"
57669What''s that?
57669What, then?
57669What?
57669What?
57669What?"
57669When?
57669Where does he live?
57669Where had The Thinking Machine found this new piece of linen?
57669Where?
57669Where?
57669Where?
57669Where?
57669Where?
57669Where?
57669Which do you want to learn more about?"
57669Which?
57669Which?
57669Who are they?
57669Who had access to these apartments?
57669Who is he?"
57669Who killed her?
57669Who might have used your bath robe?
57669Who was the woman?
57669Who was then in these apartments?
57669Who was this some one?
57669Who would have had an opportunity?
57669Whom?
57669Why Curtis''s?
57669Why did it appear just at the moment they went to begin the work Mr. Weston had ordered?
57669Why did she ask these questions?
57669Why was it there?
57669Why?
57669Why?
57669Why?
57669Why?
57669Why?
57669Why?
57669Why?
57669Why?"
57669Will you give it to me?"
57669Will you give it up?"
57669Willis?"
57669Wire cut beside Cell 13?
57669Would he hurry?
57669Would she have any motive for killing Henley?
57669Would she see a reporter?
57669Would you like to know why?"
57669You do n''t remember me?
57669You had no intention of killing Louise Regnier, had you, Jean?"
57669You may know him?
57669asked the broker;"to- night?"
57669he asked,"or will you tell it?"
9297A bearded dark man?
9297A bit of curiosity, eh?
9297About those rings?
9297About-- pawnbroking?
9297Ai n''t I just said so?
9297Ai n''t I one o''the landlords of this desirable bit o''property? 9297 Alone?"
9297And Mr. Levendale with him-- hadn''t you better have them straight in?
9297And as to the other-- well, you know, Mr. Lauriston, supposing we put it in this way?--suppose you''d been me, and I''d been you, half- an- hour ago? 9297 And how long had you been like that?"
9297And how would I do that?
9297And that gave out-- when?
9297And what were you doing here?
9297And when he came he told you I''d sent him?
9297And who was he?
9297And you have its fellow-- lost in your restaurant?
9297And you were very well acquainted with your grandfather''s stock?
9297And you''ll probably have an idea when he''s coming back? 9297 And you''re certain it was n''t in the place when you went out that afternoon, leaving your grandfather alone?"
9297And, as they all have latch- keys, I suppose they can get into the place at any hour of the day-- or night?
9297And, you say, they have n''t been seen at the hospital for some days?
9297And-- he went in the direction of the pawnshop?
9297And-- if that cheque does n''t arrive?
9297And-- the cause of death?
9297And-- they are all old?
9297And-- what''s that?
9297And-- which of''em, now, do you consider the cleverest of the lot-- them as you say you''ve lived amongst, now? 9297 Any of you gentlemen got any fresh news?"
9297Anything else?
9297Anything to do with the matter in hand?
9297Anything wrong, mister?
9297Are there poisons, the nature of which you are unacquainted with?
9297Are these the rings you took to the pawnshop?
9297Are they of the same sort, the same class, of rings as those in the tray?
9297Are you busy this morning?
9297Are you certain of it-- yourself?
9297Are you two young fellows the sons of old friends of mine at Peebles?
9297As Mr. Purdie is presumably discussing this affair with you,he observed,"I take it that you intend him to hear anything I have to tell?"
9297As you know this beat,he said quietly, as if continuing a conversation already begun,"you''ll know the two Chinese gentlemen who have this house?"
9297Aye!--and how are we to find that out?
9297Aye? 9297 Before I say any more,"he answered,"I should just like to know where you got your information from?"
9297Before these gentlemen?
9297Beg pardon, gentlemen,he said,"Mr. Ayscough?
9297Bit cunning and artful about it, mister?
9297But for what reason?
9297But where does Stephen Purvis come in-- then?
9297But where''s Melky Rubinstein?
9297But why?
9297But-- valuable?
9297But-- what did we intend to do? 9297 But-- why should that news fetch him out?"
9297Can you come here at once and ask for me? 9297 Can you remember, too, from whom you bought those rings?"
9297Can you say what''s known at your hospital?
9297Copper?
9297Could I ha''done better for him than to give him the advice I did? 9297 Could you describe this here Purvis, now?
9297Could you have recognized any of the rings in that tray?
9297D''ye see this?
9297Dead, do you say?
9297Detective Sergeant Ayscough of the Criminal Investigation Department-- friend of mine, this, sir, Mr. Yada, I believe-- Mr. Mori Yada?
9297Did I see him?
9297Did he come out of a house, or go into one, or-- what?
9297Did he cry out-- scream, as if in sudden pain-- anything of that sort?
9297Did he mention that? 9297 Did he say anything when he came out?"
9297Did he say if he knew for a fact that the diamond was delivered to Multenius?
9297Did he tell you he was very hard up?
9297Did he tell you where it was-- what he had done with it?
9297Did it strike you that your own rings were remarkably like the rings in this tray?
9297Did they bring in much money?
9297Did you see anybody leaving the place when you entered?
9297Did you see that man, yourself, who''s supposed to have dropped that platinum solitaire in your restaurant?
9297Did you see this tray lying in the parlour in which you found the dead man?
9297Did you see which way he went-- then?
9297Did you, Melky?
9297Do I gather that the taxi- cab which I see outside there is being kept by you two young men?
9297Do I see you, Zillah? 9297 Do n''t know anything of their associates-- friends-- acquaintances?"
9297Do n''t know what they do, I suppose?
9297Do n''t you see I''m in all my best clothes? 9297 Do n''t you show your mind in managing that?"
9297Do you care to tell the court-- in your own way-- precisely what took place, what you discovered, after you entered the pawnshop?
9297Do you know Mr. Levendale-- by sight?
9297Do you know how long he''s been here-- stupifying himself? 9297 Do you know how many rings it contained?"
9297Do you know what servants they kept-- these two?
9297Do you know who murdered that old man in Praed Street?
9297Do you mean to tell me he''s been here-- like that-- several days?
9297Do you mean-- beyond your skill?
9297Do you recognize those two rings?
9297Do you say you found him?
9297Do you see him here?
9297Do you think that this Parslett affair has anything to do with the Multenius affair?
9297Do you want to borrow some money?
9297Do you wish to ask this witness any questions?
9297Does n''t it look as if he were the person who left it in that room-- where the old man was found lying dead?
9297Does your cousin know anything?
9297Dr. Pittery says they were n''t brothers?
9297Er-- is Mr. Multenius in?
9297Ever seen him since?
9297Find the old gent accommodating?
9297For what, mister?
9297Get there in a few hours, I reckon?
9297Get your bit of business done all right?
9297Good hands, my young friend?
9297Got any copper?
9297Got that proof about those rings?
9297Grayson''s told you about Mr. Levendale''s going out last night, and never coming back, nor sending any message?
9297Had Mr. Multenius any private business relations of which he did n''t tell you?
9297Had n''t he pawned his watch?
9297Had n''t we better lift him on that sofa?
9297Had you been there before, on any errand of that sort?
9297Has he been arrested?
9297Has he been in again?
9297Has he told about that diamond?--told the police?
9297Has it come?
9297Has something happened? 9297 Have any conversation with him?"
9297Have you been long in London?
9297Have you done anything else for a living but that since you came to London two years ago?
9297Have you ever seen anything like this before?
9297Have you ever, at any time, or any occasion, shown them to any person? 9297 Have you formed any opinion of your own as to the cause of this man''s death?"
9297Have you noticed that the house was shut up-- that there were no lights in the front windows?
9297Have you noticed these particulars, at the end of the inquest, about the book which was found in the pawnbroker''s parlour?
9297Have you published much?
9297Have you read of what''s already called the Praed Street Murder in the papers?
9297Have you read this Praed Street mystery affair?
9297Have you seen anything of them lately?
9297Have you seen him lately?
9297He did n''t mention any other names than those of Multenius and Levendale?
9297He did n''t tell you where he was going?
9297Him what sent the bank- note, last night?
9297How did you get to know him?
9297How do you know where I''m going?
9297How long have you been here?
9297How long have you known the last witness-- Andrew Lauriston?
9297How long was that Jap in there?
9297How long-- yes? 9297 How much can you lend me?"
9297How much do you know of these two?
9297How much do you know?
9297How much do you want on this?
9297How much do you want? 9297 How much have you earned by your pen since you came, now?"
9297How much money had you-- in the world-- when you went to the pawnshop yesterday afternoon?
9297How much money have you left?
9297I believe you assisted your late grandfather in his business?
9297I believe you got him to the hospital within that time?
9297I daresay some of you would like to question me-- and Stephen Purvis, too-- on what I''ve already told you?
9297I gather from that last remark that your brother had let some other person or persons know that he possessed this stone?
9297I hear you say at that inquest as how you''d lived in the East?
9297I mean the account of the inquest?
9297I suppose they had some-- amongst your students?
9297I suppose you are?
9297I suppose you can tell one from the other?
9297I suppose you never saw this before?
9297I suppose your people have taken this job entirely in hand, now?
9297I suppose,he remarked,"that neither of you ever heard of this diamond, nor of Mr. Multenius having charge of it?
9297In fact, the late Mr. Multenius brought you up? 9297 In open market, eh?"
9297In other words, these two rings are similar in style and value to the best rings in that tray?
9297Is Melky a keen one, then?
9297Is anything wrong?
9297Is he here?
9297Is he in danger?
9297Is it very likely he''d think it to be in that dead chap''s pigtail when the other man''s missing? 9297 Is that Japanese locked in that little room?"
9297Is that as plain as your question?
9297Is that he-- that fellow talking to another man?
9297Is the man who seems undoubtedly to have dropped those studs the same man who brought that book in here? 9297 Is there any European expert who might throw some light on this case?"
9297Is there anything else you can tell us?
9297Is this true?--this about the Chinese chap? 9297 It did look as if he''d a sort of foreboding, eh?
9297It evidently struck you-- that curious odour?
9297It is you-- how do you do? 9297 It''s-- what do you want to borrow?
9297It''ud be a poor world, mister, if you did n''t get no profit, would n''t it?
9297May I explain?
9297Me?
9297Might be? 9297 Missing?"
9297Money''s no object to you, I reckon, mister?
9297More of your people?
9297Mr. Goodyer, is n''t it?
9297Mr. Lauriston,she said in a half whisper,"when do you think you''ll be able to let me have a bit of money?
9297Mrs. Goldmark,he said,"did you know the man who opened the door?"
9297Much?--or little?
9297Not even at the time of your mother''s death?
9297November 15th?
9297Now then, where?
9297Now then--: you''d doubtless talk a good deal about this matter-- did your brother tell you what was to be done with the diamond? 9297 Now what do you mean by that word valuable?
9297Now, can you tell me-- it''s important-- since what precise date they''ve been absent?
9297Now, did Lauriston, on Sunday, or when you saw him before, ever mention to you that he possessed two rings of some value?
9297Now, just tell me-- how do you know all this?
9297Now, to begin with,he said,"why do you think this affair is connected with the affair of the old pawn- broker?
9297Now, what''s inside? 9297 Now, when did those two rings come into your possession?"
9297Now, you''ll just excuse me if I ask-- why?
9297Oh, Melky sent you here, did he?
9297On these premises?
9297On what grounds?
9297Perhaps you will examine these things and direct the attention of the jurymen to them?
9297Perhaps-- you seem to be a very good business woman-- perhaps you gave him some advice?
9297Purvis was excited-- trembling, big fellow though he is, do you see? 9297 Resulting from-- what?"
9297S''elp me!--what''s he got to say about it?
9297See him-- there?
9297See that door in the corner? 9297 Seen Mr. Levendale?
9297Shall I give you people a bit of my opinion after hearing all this?
9297Since when?
9297Sir?
9297Skill?
9297Small world, ai n''t it, now?
9297So that you never see anything of these foreigners at night- time?
9297So your ambition is to be a writer of fiction?
9297Some news?
9297Somebody, now? 9297 Something else?"
9297Something on your mind about this? 9297 Speak man-- what is it?"
9297Such a time you have lately, Mr. Rubinstein, do n''t you?
9297That do?
9297That little room, upstairs, now-- what?
9297That means-- he''s dead?
9297That''s it, sir-- who''s the man?
9297That''s solid gold, is n''t it?
9297That?
9297The 20th?
9297The Spanish manuscript?
9297The younger of the two?
9297Then you could not possibly say-- one way or another, if those rings were taken out of that tray?
9297Then-- the only question now is-- who''s the man?
9297There''s no bar against them coming here at night?
9297Those rings?
9297To pawn his watch, I believe?
9297Two or three pound on account, now, mister?
9297Was he writhing at all-- making any movement?
9297Was that there book wrapped up? 9297 Well,"he said,"and when you drove away from the mortuary, where did you go then?"
9297Well-- and what was he doing?
9297Well-- you have n''t found any papers, documents, or anything of that sort, that give any clue?
9297Well-- you picked him up there, and drove him straight to the mortuary?
9297Well?
9297Well?
9297Well?
9297Well?
9297Well?
9297What about the clue o''this here old book?
9297What are you after?
9297What are you going to do then, Melky?
9297What are you going to do? 9297 What can I do for you?"
9297What can you do for me?
9297What did you do?
9297What did you think-- then?
9297What do I always say of you, Mrs. Goldmark? 9297 What do you know about these two Chinese chaps that have this furnished house of yours?"
9297What do you know of them?
9297What do you make of it?
9297What do you make of that?
9297What do you mean?
9297What do you say?
9297What do you want?
9297What for?
9297What had you gone there to do?
9297What is it you want to know about these two Chinese students?
9297What is it?
9297What is it?
9297What is it?
9297What is it?
9297What is it?
9297What is it?
9297What is the value of those rings-- separately?
9297What is this?
9297What is your game, eh? 9297 What makes you think of South Africa-- and of diamonds?"
9297What mystery''s this? 9297 What new game''s this?"
9297What of them?
9297What on earth do you mean?
9297What on earth does it all mean? 9297 What on earth for?"
9297What other rooms are there here?
9297What reason have you for thinking that Parslett blackmailed the murderer?
9297What the devil do you mean by that?
9297What then?
9297What things?
9297What was this particular piece of luck?
9297What will they do?
9297What''d I tell you, mister?
9297What''re you getting at, all the same?
9297What''re you talking about, John?
9297What''re you up to?
9297What''s Mr. Lauriston got to say?
9297What''s all this about? 9297 What''s all this business about that book?
9297What''s going to be done?
9297What''s his game?
9297What''s his name?
9297What''s it all mean? 9297 What''s on?"
9297What''s our young friend after?
9297What''s that mean?
9297What''s the matter? 9297 What''s this bit of jewellery?"
9297What''s this, Melky?
9297What''s this?--is something the matter? 9297 What''s to be done?"
9297What''s your professional opinion about what we''ve just heard in there?
9297What, then?
9297What-- what''s it worth?
9297What?
9297What?
9297Whatever for?
9297When did you last see your brother, or friend, or whatever he is-- Chen Li?
9297When did you see them last?
9297When did you see those two gentlemen last-- either of them?
9297When was that?
9297When were you last at home-- in Maida Vale?
9297Where are you taking me?
9297Where do you come from?
9297Where do you live-- yourselves?
9297Where have you kept them?
9297Where is he to be found, Andie?
9297Where is my book?
9297Where''s Mr. Killick now-- and the rest of them?
9297Where''s the book, now?
9297Where''s the other Purvis-- the farmer?
9297Where, now?
9297Where?
9297Which one of''em is it?
9297Which,he asked calmly,"which of these gentlemen is the owner of the diamond?
9297Which?
9297Who are you? 9297 Who are you?"
9297Who are you?
9297Who is he-- what do you want with him? 9297 Who is that?"
9297Who is there that could know? 9297 Who was he?"
9297Who?
9297Whose else should they be?
9297Why ai n''t you bringing that forward? 9297 Why should Levendale and Purvis have been trapped?"
9297Why was not the matter of the book put before the Court at first?
9297Why, ai n''t I?
9297Why-- what do you mean?
9297Will it come-- soon?
9297Will you do exactly what I tell you?
9297Wo n''t you sit down?
9297Would you know them again-- on other goods?
9297Yes?
9297Yes?
9297Yes?
9297You ai n''t the friend from Scotland?
9297You attended to him?
9297You ca n''t tell us anything of their habits?--haunts?--what they usually did with themselves when they were n''t at the hospital?
9297You could identify this man Purvis if you saw him?
9297You could tell the value of a thing as accurately as your grandfather?
9297You could? 9297 You did n''t notice anything out of the common about him?"
9297You do all this if I pay you one hundred pounds?
9297You do n''t know anything about this book?
9297You do n''t know anything more that you could tell us about these two?
9297You do n''t know where he is?
9297You do n''t make no mistakes, so?
9297You do n''t want to sell the ticket?
9297You drove a foreigner-- a Japanese-- to the mortuary in Paddington last night?
9297You had done your business on that previous occasion with the grand- daughter?
9297You had never seen him before?
9297You had not seen the old man, then?
9297You have n''t mentioned this to anybody?
9297You have n''t seen Mr. Levendale since you were here yesterday, sir?
9297You have n''t? 9297 You have, in fact, been short of money?"
9297You heard nothing of any person in or about the shop when you entered?
9297You kept them in your trunk until you took them out to raise money on them?
9297You know me-- or of me-- some of you?
9297You know something that they do n''t know?
9297You know these Easterns, mister, and their little way?
9297You know this young man, Miss Wildrose?
9297You know why I''m concerning myself in this?
9297You let that man-- a Japanese-- see the dead Chinaman--_alone_?
9297You made a post- mortem examination?
9297You never saw anything of any small box, packet, or anything of that sort, lying about after your grandfather''s death?
9297You no doubt know the names of the men to whom those sets of studs were given?
9297You no doubt wondered why I told that chap so much?
9297You recognize it, of course? 9297 You saw the young man you speak of quite clearly?"
9297You say you do n''t know what particular poison was used?
9297You suspect Chang Li?
9297You suspect Chang Li?
9297You take a little drop of whisky- and- soda?
9297You think it was a secret poison?
9297You think that?
9297You want me to tell you all I know-- in a sentence? 9297 You were always about the place, of course-- yes?
9297You will excuse me, now?
9297You''ll be able to account for them? 9297 You''ll take notice that these young fellows I told you of get to the rooms we let them through that?"
9297You''re aware of my business, sir?
9297You''re not making any mistake?
9297You''re sure it was that book?
9297You''re sure of that?
9297You''re sure you''re right, Melky?
9297You''re upset about this book affair?
9297You''ve met him before?
9297You''ve never seen him since?
9297You''ve read of that in the newspaper, no doubt, Mr. Purvis? 9297 You''ve seen him there?"
9297You''ve seen the like of that before, ai n''t you?
9297You''ve some idea?
9297You-- don''t know what you thought?
9297Your own property?
9297Your property?
9297''Tonight, for certain?''
9297''What to do there?''
9297''Where''s your partner?''
9297Again-- how much do you know in this matter?"
9297Ah-- and what had he taken out of it before he threw the box away, now, Mr. Ayscough-- whoever it was that did throw it away?"
9297Ai n''t I got a good excuse, Mr. Ayscough?
9297Ai n''t it nothing but weddings, just now?
9297Ai n''t that having a mind?
9297Am I correct?"
9297Am I suspected?
9297Am I-- in some way or other-- in custody?"
9297And I believe you had resided with him for some years before that?"
9297And I may take it that you gradually got a good deal of knowledge about the articles with which your grandfather had to deal?
9297And I say, mister-- if a pound or two on account''ud be of any service-- say the word, d''ye see?"
9297And ai n''t I the good memory for faces-- and wo n''t I know him again if he comes my way?
9297And did n''t we find that door open?
9297And if by hand-- who delivered it?"
9297And now the question was-- who was that man?
9297And now then, gentlemen, what does all this mean?
9297And now-- have you heard anything of my brother Stephen more than what''s in the papers?
9297And now-- how much was Chen Li going to pay for silence?
9297And so-- what is it?"
9297And the question now is-- ought we not to tell all this to the police, at once?
9297And then-- to wind up-- there is a small villa in Maida Vale, which he let furnished-- you never heard of that?"
9297And what is it?"
9297And what steps are you thinking of taking?"
9297And who is this man Purvis-- and what''s he to do with it?
9297And you do n''t know how many there were-- nor how many there should be there, now?
9297And you say you have n''t seen them either since the 18th?"
9297And-- incidentally-- with diamonds?"
9297And-- there, now, what did I tell you?
9297And-- what possible explanation can there be?"
9297And-- who is this mysterious man who dropped the studs-- valuable things, with a special device on them?
9297And-- yesterday-- your expected money not having arrived, you were obliged to visit the pawnshop again?
9297And-- you''ll excuse me for mentioning it-- but, till you get your cheques, Mr. Lauriston, why do n''t you raise a bit of ready money?"
9297And-- you''re not to be anxious I''ve got a good friend coming from Scotland-- Melky told you I''d had two lots of good news tonight, did n''t he?"
9297Are they in any bother-- trouble?"
9297Are you Chang Li?"
9297Are you going to ring?"
9297Are you there?"
9297Are you-- disguised?"
9297As a matter of fact, there are twenty- seven rings there-- you ca n''t say that is the right number?"
9297Ask him if he''ll speak to me?"
9297Ayscough?"
9297Ayscough?"
9297Ayscough?"
9297Ayscough?"
9297Be quick!--who is this Japanese?--how came he by your card?
9297Brought my card?"
9297Business is business, ai n''t it?"
9297But how could those marks correspond with the marks in his rings?"
9297But that''s neither here nor there-- I suppose you''ve something to tell us, sir?"
9297But these marks-- isn''t that a curious coincidence, now, when you come to think of it?"
9297But what man would have a latch- key to that but Levendale himself?
9297But, how could Mr. Lauriston''s rings bear those marks?
9297But,"continued Grayson, glancing at Purdie,"it''s still odd-- for do you see, sir, where that wire has been sent from?
9297But-- had it?"
9297But-- however did it get to Multenius''s?
9297But-- what is this?
9297But-- where is Chang Li?"
9297But-- where''s the girl-- the grand- daughter?
9297CHAPTER NINE WHOSE WERE THOSE RINGS?
9297CHAPTER TWENTY- ONE WHAT MANNER OF DEATH?
9297Can nothing be done?"
9297Can you bring any satisfactory proof that those two rings which you claim to be yours, really are yours?"
9297Can you tell me what like was that fellow what you believed to ha''lost that there cuff stud you showed me in Mrs. Goldmark''s desk?--you know?"
9297Can-- can you lend me a few pounds?"
9297Come on!--what about it!--and its owner?"
9297Could you tell me where there''s a respectable pawnbroker''s?"
9297Detective- Sergeant?"
9297Detective- Sergeant?"
9297Did I understand you to say these two were medical students at University College?"
9297Did n''t I say we''d hear more of it?"
9297Did you notice that, Zillah?"
9297Did you read his name in the paper''s account of that inquest?"
9297Did your brother tell you that this diamond was his own, sole property?"
9297Do n''t I always say you''re the smartest business woman in all Paddington?
9297Do n''t it all come out clear to you?--if I find the right man, then there ai n''t no more suspicion attaching to this young chap, ai n''t it?
9297Do you remember?"
9297Do you think it''s anything to do with our business?"
9297Do you want to earn a fiver-- comfortable?"
9297Does my testimony satisfy you?"
9297Does that satisfy you?"
9297Eh?"
9297Eh?--hasn''t it?"
9297For God''s sake, where''s my diamond?''
9297For this search-- how do we know that at any rate one of these Chinamen may n''t have had some connection with this gang?
9297For what?
9297Found in a fireplace, d''ye say, mister?
9297Game?
9297Goldmark!--do you know what?
9297Goldmark?"
9297Goldmark?"
9297Had he a purchaser in view?"
9297Had you anything to do with his banking account?"
9297Has it anything to do with the death of this next door man, Parslett, last night?
9297Has that disappearance anything to do with Multenius''s death?
9297Have n''t you thought of that?"
9297Have you had any luck?"
9297Have you seen anybody?"
9297Have you seen anything of it?"
9297He ai n''t no lit''ry powers, d''you see?
9297He waited a moment in evident expectation of other questions; as the detective asked none--"I gather,"he remarked,"that Chang Li has disappeared?"
9297He went in there, to Goldmark''s, with you?
9297He''d no trouble of any sort, had he?"
9297He''s a lawyer chap, what the police gets when there''s a case o''this sort, to ask questions of the witnesses, d''ye see?
9297How could it have come here?"
9297How?"
9297I do n''t know if that''s of any use to you?"
9297I do n''t want to suggest anything-- but-- you understand?"
9297I hope neither of you are mixed up in it?"
9297I know all about you-- you''re the friend that Lauriston asked for a bit of help to see him through, like-- ain''t it?
9297I may call again, may n''t I?"
9297I repeat-- what have you got to sell?
9297I say!--do you know what Guyler''s theory is about that diamond of Stephen''s?"
9297I suppose he may come in, now?"
9297I suppose you are discussing it with these gentlemen?
9297I suppose you''ve heard nothing of the other Chinaman?"
9297I wonder where his grand- daughter is?"
9297I''ve my own ideas about this here business-- wait till I put my hand on somebody, see?
9297If any o''them police come round here, asking about him, you do n''t know nothing-- see?
9297If so-- who is he?"
9297If there were two, did they come together-- or singly, separately?
9297In a deadhouse?
9297In fact, you are entitled to regard yourself as something of an expert in precious stones and metals?"
9297In the meantime-- I want to know what you''re going to do about Mr. Lauriston?
9297Is he here?"
9297Is he one of you?"
9297Is he still there?"
9297Is it a day-- or days?"
9297Is it far into that country, or where is it?"
9297Is it what they think at your police- station?--connected with the other affairs?
9297Is n''t it?"
9297Is there anything else now-- any bit of luggage you want?"
9297Is there not gas lamps?--am I not blessed with good eyes?
9297Just a bit of a description, like?"
9297Just so!--now, why did you think you could do nothing for him?"
9297Just so!--therefore, of course, you would have some acquaintance with his business before you left school?"
9297Just to see him set off for a ride?"
9297Keep an eye on him as far as you can-- didn''t I tell you he''d come out when we''d left?
9297Killick?"
9297Lauriston?"
9297Lauriston?"
9297Lauriston?"
9297Lauriston?"
9297Levendale?"
9297Like to come to the hotel with me?"
9297Look here!--I''m stopping at this hotel-- will you come in with me, and we''ll just get a quiet corner and talk some?
9297Look here!--between you and me-- you''re a lit''ry gent, ai n''t you?
9297Look here-- what do you know?"
9297Mirandolet?"
9297Mister!--will you put your trust and confidence in me, and do what I tell you?
9297Molteno Lodge, Maida Vale?
9297More mystery!--ain''t I full of it already?
9297Mr. Daniel Multenius, the jeweller and pawnbroker, of Praed Street-- perhaps you know him, sir?"
9297Mrs. Goldmark-- can you describe him, particularly?"
9297Multenius?"
9297Night and day-- day and night-- I could fall on this floor and sleep--""You''ve been after that diamond?"
9297Now then, Mr. Purdie, where did a man like that pick up fifty sovereigns between the time he went out, and the time he was picked up, dying?"
9297Now then, who brought it here-- who left it here?
9297Now then-- who''d left it there?"
9297Now who''s the man who lost one in this here parlour-- right there!--and the other in Mrs. Goldmark''s restaurant?
9297Now, Mr. Killick, before I go further-- have you read in the newspapers about what''s called the Praed Street Mystery?"
9297Now, between you and me, mister, what did she lend you on that bit o''stuff?"
9297Now, come, Mr. Pilmansey, is he here?"
9297Now, do you know where that tray was when you went out, leaving your grandfather alone, yesterday afternoon?"
9297Now, do you understand why I wished to speak to you?"
9297Now, how long had you assisted him in that way?"
9297Now, if Levendale hears that Chen Li''s lying dead in our mortuary-- what?
9297Now, if he''d only ha''shown''em to me, first, Zillah-- see?"
9297Now, perhaps, you''d like to read the will?"
9297Now, then, do you know anything about him?
9297Now, then, what''s been done, and what''s being done, in that way?"
9297Now, then, who''s the man who''s been dropping his cuff- links about?"
9297Now, what did happen?
9297Now, what do you want to see this doctor for?"
9297Now, where did you first pick him up?"
9297Now,"he continued, turning to the three Chinese,"is one of you gentlemen Mr. Chang Li?"
9297Now-- by whom?
9297Now-- did you and he arrange anything about communicating with each other?"
9297Now-- have any of you the least idea who''s got the diamond and my money?
9297Now-- in what way?"
9297Now-- what was your business, then?"
9297Of course, there ai n''t no need to tell the police precisely where he has gone-- what?"
9297Of course, you know whose book it is?"
9297Or, had Mr. Multenius two callers here during your absence, Miss Wildrose?
9297Or,"concluded Mr. Killick with great emphasis and meaning,"for anything we know-- murdered?
9297Penniket?"
9297Perhaps you are going my way-- I can give you a lift-- Yes?"
9297Perhaps you''ve never had occasion to go to a pawnbroker before?
9297Purdie?"
9297Purdie?"
9297Purdie?"
9297Purdie?"
9297Purvis!--are you staying in town?"
9297Rubinstein?"
9297Rubinstein?"
9297Rubinstein?"
9297Rubinstein?"
9297Say the word, Mrs. Goldmark-- don''t you see I''m like as if I was that hungry I could eat you?"
9297Say!--have you got any idea that this mystery of yours is at all connected with South Africa?
9297See that man there, a- talking to the detectives?--him with the gold nippers on his blooming sharp nose?
9297See?"
9297See?"
9297See?"
9297She''s the sort we can discuss business with, eh?"
9297Smell it?"
9297So we''ll say ten pound-- what?
9297So we''re with you in that matter, ai n''t we, Zillah?"
9297So-- can you tell us anything?"
9297So-- let''s know what you''ve got to sell?"
9297Stephen Purvis-- where is he?"
9297Supposing, before the day was out, the official hand was on him, too?
9297Supposing, now-- I''m only supposing-- that young Jap''s been lying all the time?"
9297Take a seat-- you want to tell us something?
9297That''s in Gower Street, ai n''t it?
9297That''s it, ai n''t it, now?
9297The question I want to get solved is-- was the man who undoubtedly left that book here the guilty man?
9297Then I reckon you and your cousin''ll be making a match of it-- keeping the money in the family, what?"
9297There ai n''t nothing wonderful in all that to me and my cousin Zillah there!--we''ve been brought up in the trade, d''ye see?
9297There was a horror in the garden, in that bright moonlight-- what might there not be in that black, silent house?
9297They were always left like that?
9297They''ve got those rings of yours, too, mister, have n''t they?"
9297This Mrs. Goldmark-- she''s to be fully trusted?"
9297This queer disappearance of yours-- this being away-- coming back without your beard and dressed like that!--aren''t you going to explain?
9297Those rings, now?"
9297Those rings, you know, that the young fellow, Lauriston, says are his, and had been his mother''s?"
9297Three good, saleable items, I think-- yes?"
9297Was it brown- papered, now, when you left it?"
9297Was it sent by post-- or was it delivered by hand?
9297We may take it that Levendale and Purvis knew-- but who else would?"
9297We might even narrow that down to-- what happened between ten minutes to five and ten minutes past five?
9297Well, anything else?"
9297Well-- what else?"
9297Were there two persons?
9297Were you-- hard up-- when you came round the other night?"
9297What about that book, now, Mr. Ayscough?
9297What about that theory?"
9297What are you doing here?"
9297What are you going to do, now?"
9297What are you talking about?"
9297What can you tell me, sir?"
9297What d''ye say to it?"
9297What did he think about what John Purvis had to tell us this afternoon?"
9297What did we follow him up Gower Street for?
9297What do you conjecture did go before that?"
9297What do you know of Mr. Levendale?
9297What do you know, now, about this here Levendale?"
9297What do you know?
9297What do you want me to do?"
9297What do you want to search for?"
9297What do you want?"
9297What does Guyler think?"
9297What does he know about the diamond and the money?"
9297What have you lived on, then?"
9297What in?
9297What is it?
9297What is it?"
9297What of it?"
9297What somebody?"
9297What was he, Lauriston, to urge against the acceptance of such a theory?
9297What would you have thought if you''d found me in the situation and under the circumstances in which I found you?
9297What you got to tell, Zillah?--another development?"
9297What''s happened?--tell me, one of you?"
9297What''s it all about, and why has he gone back to Peebles?
9297What''s it all about?"
9297What''s known about that book at the shop?"
9297What''s that argue, sir, but that whoever gave him that poison is something of an expert?
9297What''s the inference?
9297What, for instance, is the value of the least valuable ring there, and what is that of the most valuable?"
9297Where are we going?"
9297Where did your brother leave you-- at Plymouth?"
9297Where is Lauriston?
9297Where should he find the diamond-- here?
9297Where''s this house, do you say?
9297Which is the one who has lost eighty thousand pounds in bank- notes?
9297Which of these gentlemen is?"
9297Which would you consider the artfullest of them three-- if it came to a bit of real underhand work, now?"
9297Who are you?"
9297Who is he?"
9297Who was the person?
9297Why ai n''t Mr. Levendale brought here?
9297Why ai n''t that matter brought up?
9297Why do you ask?"
9297Why has Levendale utterly disappeared?
9297Why not call again-- in broad daylight?"
9297Why not?"
9297Why?
9297Will they be long?"
9297Will you come with me to the mortuary?"
9297Will you tell me something?"
9297Will you tell us what you found?"
9297Write a bit, what?
9297Yada?"
9297Yada?"
9297Yada?"
9297Yada?"
9297Yada?"
9297Yes?"
9297Yet, what other course was open if he wished to avoid arrest?
9297You ai n''t seen him since he walked out o''that court with me-- see?
9297You did n''t hear anything from Parslett as to where the money was coming from?"
9297You do n''t know much about money matters, do you?"
9297You know him-- too?"
9297You know the name of this Stephen Purvis that''s been mentioned as having been about here?
9297You know the two men I mean-- Chang Li and Chen Li-- brothers, I take it?"
9297You think to alarm me!--what do you want?"
9297You understand, George?"
9297You want me?"
9297You want money, eh?"
9297You want that cheque turned into cash-- you want to get out of London tonight?
9297You want to talk to me?"
9297You wanted my advice?
9297You wo n''t think me inquisitive if I ask you something?
9297You''d have made a profit of a nice bit, then, if I''d sold it to you?"
9297You''ll have no objection to going there tomorrow?"
9297You''re certain?"
9297You''re not a Londoner, of course?"
9297You''re not mistaking me for somebody else?"
9297You''re not used to pledging things, are you?"
9297You''re sure the device was the same, and the material platinum?"
9297You''ve been governess to his children for some time, have n''t you?"
9297You''ve doubtless read all about this Praed Street mystery in the newspapers?
9297You''ve friends in London, of course?"
9297You''ve heard something during the night, then?"
9297You''ve something to tell-- something''s happened?"
9297You, no doubt, know where he''s gone?"
9297Your card!--Oh, man, man, whatever have you been doing?
9297asked Melky,"And do it at once, without any hesitation, any hanging about, any going home to Mother Flitwick''s, or anything o''that sort?"
9297demanded the inspector, as he ran his eye over the expectant faces"No?--well, I suppose you''re all wanting to know if we have?"
9297exclaimed Melky,"there ai n''t no other surprises, Zillah?
9297has John Purvis come looking for his brother?"
9297he exclaimed,"Japanese?
9297he said,"do you know one Yada-- Mori Yada-- a Japanese?
9297he said,"who is this young man?
9297now what does a young Japanese medical student want going down that way at eleven o''clock at night?
9297on the bit o''business, wo n''t you, mister?
9297when on earth is this going to come to something like a clearing- up?"
9297why, what are you to think?
9297you think that, do you?"
9297you''re dead certain, Mrs. Goldmark, about the other man?"
9902A bad accident?
9902A friend of yours, then?
9902Ah, that''s still your impression?
9902Ah-- have you seen it?
9902All you can tell?
9902Am I to go away with the impression that you believe our client to be an impostor?
9902And I dare say you saw me go with the rest of them to Mr. Viner''s, in Markendale Square?
9902And in the meantime,suggested Mr. Carless,"Miss Wickham might be asked to remain here-- under the wing of the excellent Miss Penkridge?"
9902And no doubt conversed with the people he met there?
9902And she told you, I think, that you had been recognized, in London, since your arrival, by some one who had known you in Australia years before?
9902And since then-- of late, to be exact-- you have changed your mind?
9902And so, of course, you never had a daughter?
9902And that is all you know of her?
9902And that somebody?
9902And that''s the whole truth?
9902And that, ma''am?
9902And the young lady-- her name?
9902And there''s something you know about this case?
9902And what said your lordship to their-- or the claimant''s proposition?
9902And what-- how could this Mr. Ashton, who, you say, came from Australia, be in possession of papers relating to my family? 9902 And why does n''t he come in?"
9902And why is Lord Ellingham, whoever he may be, there?
9902And why, pray?
9902And will they all be hanged?
9902And you have, no doubt, been long in it?
9902And you know no more than that?
9902And you received these papers, I think you said, two days later?
9902And you say he went there regularly?
9902And you say you do n''t know who this man is?
9902And you were at Ryedene twelve years?
9902And you''ve no doubt heard the murder discussed?
9902And you''ve some to give?
9902And-- from whom?
9902And-- possibly a much more pertinent question,said Viner,"where is this Dr. Martincole?
9902And-- what happened next?
9902And-- what might his references be, now?
9902And-- you''ll bring that with you?
9902Another thing that you''re forgetting, Inspector,continued Viner:"I suppose you attach some value to probabilities?
9902Any men to dine, or anything of that sort?
9902Any orders, gents?
9902Anyway,suggested Drillford, glancing over the particulars which he had written down,"you''d know him again if you saw him?"
9902Are those three people really locked up-- in cells-- close by where we were sitting with the inspector?
9902Are we to tell Miss Wickham what my conclusions are, or are we to leave her in ignorance until we get proof that they are correct?
9902Are you after anybody along there-- in that house-- the one at the end?
9902Are you going down there?
9902Are you staying in town?
9902Are you suggesting that Ashton was probably a native of Marketstoke?
9902Are you sure you''ve got the right man?
9902Are you?
9902Aye-- and on what, now?
9902Be careful, now; you heard what the doctor said about it, in court?
9902But do you know who did?
9902But now, this memorandum, evidently written by Ashton himself, in London, soon after he got here?
9902But of course, whoever stole your letters and so on, would discover, or guess at, the truth?
9902But we have not disposed of the first, have we?
9902But what is it?
9902But what papers?
9902But what-- why? 9902 But why should any one want to keep us here for any time?"
9902But why were we brought here?
9902But why? 9902 But you do not know who he is?"
9902But you remember him?
9902But-- how?
9902But-- my aunt? 9902 But-- perhaps Mrs. Killenhall turned the key in the outer lock so that no-- patients, or other callers, perhaps-- should come in?"
9902But-- the door''s open, is n''t it?
9902But-- where are you going?
9902But-- where is the diamond?
9902But-- who knows anything?
9902Can I have a word with you, in private?
9902Can you describe her?
9902Can you describe the man who came out of the passage as you entered it?
9902Can you remember what he was like?
9902Could you see his face?
9902Couple of nice bedrooms and a bit of dinner, eh?
9902Did he ever have any one to see him?
9902Did he ever mention any club?
9902Did he ever tell you much about your father?
9902Did he ever tell you whether your father left you any money?
9902Did he go to see people in the town at all?
9902Did he tell you anything about it-- how he got it, and so on?
9902Did he want to sell it?
9902Did she go out anywhere?
9902Did she imply to you that she was an intermediary?
9902Did she present a check from me?
9902Did they mention a sum to Your Lordship?
9902Did they seem serious?
9902Did they show them to Your Lordship?
9902Did you ever know of his having a friend named Wickham?
9902Did you happen to notice where this marriage took place?
9902Did you leave them talking there?
9902Did you make no effort to recover your possessions?
9902Did you marry out there?
9902Did you see me in the police- court this morning?
9902Did you try to trace her, or her principals, through the district messenger who brought the letter?
9902Did your client mention to you that he knew Carless and Driver as the family solicitors?
9902Do n''t think me inquisitive, but what was the amount of the check you gave her?
9902Do n''t you recognize that?
9902Do n''t you remember, sister, what a quantity of poetical pieces he knew by heart when he was quite a child?
9902Do you happen to know the name of the gentleman who was speaking to you just now?
9902Do you know anything about Mrs. Killenhall''s movements this morning?
9902Do you know anything of Mr. Ashton''s movements since he came to London?
9902Do you know anything of this dead man?
9902Do you know what I think?
9902Do you know what I''ve been looking for, Viner?
9902Do you know what her maiden name was?
9902Do you know where he went?
9902Do you know whereabouts it is?
9902Do you know whether she went to the previous sitting? 9902 Do you know who your mother was?"
9902Do you know why?
9902Do you mean that Mr. Ashton called on Lord Ellingham, or what?
9902Do you mean that your name is Edward Cave-- at present?
9902Do you mean to tell me the man was never caught?
9902Do you remember Mr. Ashton at that time?
9902Do you remember where you lived?
9902Do you see''em, Mr. Perkwite? 9902 Do you see?"
9902Do you think I''d have been such a fool as to try to pawn or sell a ring that belonged to a man who''d just been murdered?
9902Do you think it would be wise to post New Scotland Yard on to him-- detectives, you know?
9902Do you think you''d know him again, Portlethwaite, after all these years?
9902Do you want to ask him any more questions?
9902Does it come into things?
9902Does n''t it strike you as strange, though,suggested Viner,"that the first news of this diamond comes from Van Hoeren?
9902Does n''t that seem to be an established fact?
9902Eh?
9902Family feeling, old associations, loss of the old place-- eh? 9902 Found out anything more, Doctor?"
9902From whom?
9902Give my word for any of''em, eh? 9902 Got any recollection of his exact look?"
9902Has he told it to you?
9902Has this anything to do with it?
9902Have n''t we heard already, that a man named Wickham handed over his daughter Avice to Ashton''s care and guardianship?
9902Have we done anything?
9902Have you got it right, sir?
9902Have you heard of the murder in Lonsdale Passage?
9902Have you mentioned it to your neighbours, for instance, or to any one in the town?
9902Have you seen that gentleman lately that I''ve sometimes talked to in the corner there?
9902Have you, ma''am?
9902He did n''t ask you to his house?
9902He did n''t correspond with you at all after you left him at Marseilles?
9902He did n''t tell you what the secret was?
9902He spent a good deal of time about the church, sir,answered the girl,"and he was at Ellingham Park a good deal--""Whose place is that?"
9902He wanted to sell it?
9902Here''s one of Carless''clerks, and Perkwite the barrister.--What are you doing here?
9902How did he come by such a straight tale, then?
9902How did he come by the ring, then?
9902How did they come into your possession, then?
9902How do I-- how do you-- know how he came into possession of it?
9902How do you know that''s one of Mr. Ashton''s rings?
9902How does it open? 9902 How long, so far as you remember, did you live with Mr. Ashton there?"
9902How much?
9902How now?
9902I do n''t know if you remember, but I saw you the other night in the parlour of that old tavern in Notting Hill-- you came in while I was there?
9902I hope my aunt called on you this morning?
9902I hope you are quite comfortable, and that you are having everything you wish?
9902I mean-- have you got the man I saw running away from the passage?
9902I remember that he was a great collector of books-- you have his library, no doubt?
9902I suppose Ashton never said or did anything here to reveal his secret, if he had one?
9902I suppose all the people you introduced him to are-- all right?
9902I suppose you never heard Mr. Ashton mention the Grey Mare?
9902I suppose you never heard anybody about, that night?
9902I suppose you''ve been at the Grey Mare since Mr. Ashton''s death?
9902I understand you live close by them?
9902I wanted to know if my companion, Mrs. Killenhall, had called here this afternoon?
9902If there is anything that I can do, or that my aunt Miss Penkridge, who lives with me, can do? 9902 If this man Wickham really was the lost Lord Marketstoke, and he''s dead, and he left a daughter, and the daughter''s alive--""Well?"
9902If we can be of any service to them? 9902 Is Mr. Ashton dead?"
9902Is it any good getting a doctor?
9902Is it going, after all, to clear up the mystery of his death?
9902Is n''t it established that beyond yourself and this unknown man nobody but Ashton knew the secret?
9902Is that man Cave still with you?
9902Is that really all you can think of?
9902Is that really so-- would it be so?
9902Is that very important?
9902Is the man dead?
9902It is yours? 9902 Just folded in the papers that you handed to the police?"
9902Just let me look at that typewritten letter again, will you?
9902Know anything about him?
9902Look here, now, to begin with-- you did n''t kill this man?
9902Look here; if you police want to do justice, why do n''t you try to track the man whom Hyde has told of?
9902Markendale Square way? 9902 May I have a word with you?"
9902May I offer you a chair?
9902May one ask how?
9902May we tell him that?
9902Maybe nobody do n''t know nothings about it, what? 9902 Me and the other boys, we think you ought to know about that diamond, see?"
9902Mirrypoor Street?
9902More mystery?
9902More questions? 9902 Mr. Ashton was carrying a big diamond about in his pocketbook?"
9902Mr. Pawle, I understand?
9902Mr. Pawle,he began,"has told us of your relationship with the late Mr. Ashton-- you always regarded him as your guardian?"
9902Mr. Pawle,he said quietly,"have you any proof-- undoubted proof-- that Mr. Ashton did possess papers relating to my long- missing uncle?"
9902Mr. Viner, can you be so very kind? 9902 Mrs. Killenhall?
9902My trade, do n''t it? 9902 Never heard him mention it on board ship-- when he was coming home?"
9902No? 9902 No?"
9902Nor who he was? 9902 Not afraid of going down here alone, then, sir?"
9902Not even anything to your own advantage?
9902Not much in it, is there?
9902Now why were you afraid of being followed?
9902Now, I suppose you were at the Ellingham Arms when this Mr. Ashton came there?
9902Now, I wonder what''s in here?
9902Now, at what time are these miscreants to be put in the dock tomorrow? 9902 Now, have you said as much as that to anybody before?"
9902Now, is it a coincidence that Miss Wickham''s name should be Avice? 9902 Now, my friend,"he said,"you''ve already sent your own solicitor to Hyde, have n''t you?
9902Now, then-- what are these proofs?
9902Now, who on earth is Mr. Armitstead Ashton Armitstead, of Rouendale House, Rawtenstall? 9902 Now, why, ma''am did you wonder that?"
9902Now-- where is it, then?
9902Oh-- but I guess Mr. Felpham does n''t think that way?
9902Partner of yours?
9902Perhaps you''ll go there with me?
9902Physical culture, eh?
9902Portlethwaite, you remember the Lord Marketstoke who disappeared some thirty- five years ago?
9902Regular romance, is n''t it-- if it is so?
9902See that girl outside?
9902See that?
9902Seen that paragraph in the evening papers?
9902Serious? 9902 Shall I fetch Miss Wickham?"
9902Shall you tell her?
9902She is dead?
9902So there''s a daughter?
9902Something to do with this affair?
9902Somewhat sudden, eh, Pawle? 9902 Spent any of it?"
9902Stuff?
9902Such as-- what?
9902Sure he''s dead, sir?
9902Tell me-- between ourselves?
9902That Ashton told him, in Paris, that he, Ashton, hailed from Lancashire?
9902That''s just what I come to you about, eh?
9902The other question,said Drillford,"is this: Did he carry much on him in the way of valuables or money?
9902The tallish gentleman with a grey beard? 9902 Then you saw them?"
9902Then-- the question now is-- who is to tell her?
9902There''s one thing you''re forgetting, are n''t you?
9902Tomorrow?
9902Unusual device, is n''t it?
9902Very satisfactory they were, no doubt, ma''am?
9902Was he clean- shaved, or bearded, or what?
9902Was he well known?
9902Was it so valuable, then?
9902Was there any history attached to it?
9902Well past three o''clock, is n''t it? 9902 Well, Carless?"
9902Well, Portlethwaite,demanded Mr. Carless,"what is it?
9902Well, an''wot abaht this''ere bit o''business as I''ve come rahnd abaht, Mister?
9902Well, and what else?
9902Well, ma''am,said Mr. Pawle,"and what then?"
9902Well, now, did you think you recognized anything of him-- making allowance for the difference in age-- in this man who called himself John Ashton?
9902Well, now, these papers?
9902Well, now, what do you propose to do, Millwaters?
9902Well-- what is it?
9902Well?
9902Well?
9902Well?
9902Well?
9902Well?
9902Well?
9902Well?
9902Were these things loose?
9902What I''d like to know,said Viner,"is-- who is the other man?
9902What about tracing the whole lot through the check he has given?
9902What are they?
9902What are we going to hear next?
9902What are we going to hear this time?
9902What bank?
9902What clue have we?
9902What did I tell you? 9902 What did I tell you?
9902What did he do with himself?
9902What did he say?
9902What did you do?
9902What do they really think in there?
9902What do you know?
9902What do you mean, ma''am?
9902What do you mean?
9902What do you mean?
9902What do you remember about him?
9902What do you think of that?
9902What do you think of this matter?
9902What does he do-- usually?
9902What easier? 9902 What else?"
9902What had happened?
9902What is it that''s been found, exactly?
9902What is it that''s on it?
9902What is it, Viner?
9902What is it?
9902What is it?
9902What is the object of this?
9902What is the relevancy of this-- in relation to the prisoner and the charge against him?
9902What is the truth?
9902What made him mention it?
9902What may it be?
9902What name did you go under there?
9902What next? 9902 What part?"
9902What sort of questions?
9902What time was that?
9902What was it?
9902What was it?
9902What were the papers?
9902What will be done next?
9902What''s it look like? 9902 What''s it mean?"
9902What''s that, Doctor?
9902What''s that?
9902What''s that?
9902What''s that?
9902What''s this?
9902What''s to be done next?
9902What, for instance?
9902What, then?
9902What, then?
9902What,she inquired,"did the inspector mean about the papers found on Dr. Cortelyon?
9902What?
9902What?
9902When was that?
9902When was this? 9902 Where are you taking me?"
9902Where did you find those valuables this morning?
9902Where did you get that, my dear?
9902Where have you been during the last thirty- five years?
9902Where is he?
9902Where is he?
9902Where is that? 9902 Where is the rest of Mr. Ashton''s property-- his watch, chain, the other ring, his purse, and-- wasn''t there a pocketbook?
9902Where''s this man gone?
9902Which Countess of Ellingham, and which Lord Marketstoke?
9902While you were at the mining- camp, in the Bendigo district, did you ever reveal your secret to any of your fellow- miners?
9902Who found him here?
9902Who found them?
9902Who was Barrett?
9902Who was he?
9902Who, then?
9902Who?
9902Why did you not reply to them?
9902Why not find this man Bellingham first?
9902Why not say design? 9902 Why, now?"
9902Why, then?
9902Why?
9902Why?
9902Why?
9902Why?
9902Will Mr. Ashton''s body be brought here-- tonight?
9902Will you take that off, and let me look at it?
9902With no result?
9902With this claimant as cat''s- paw-- well tutored to his task?
9902Would n''t that be a good way?
9902Would you know the man if you saw him again?
9902Would you like five shillings? 9902 Would you mind telling me what you do know?"
9902Yes, I think I do remember-- you were sitting in a corner near the hearth?
9902Yes, but what else-- has he got a beard?
9902Yes-- but how, exactly?
9902Yes-- well, now, what is the name of the lady-- the elderly lady-- I saw come in just now? 9902 Yes-- where?"
9902Yes?
9902Yes?
9902Yet-- you''re under his roof? 9902 You ca n''t recollect more?
9902You claim, sir, to be the Lord Marketstoke who disappeared so many years ago?
9902You did n''t ask him that?
9902You did n''t bring them to London with you?
9902You did n''t press him?
9902You did n''t see this man at your hotel?
9902You did not even know whether this man lying on the pavement was alive or dead?
9902You do n''t believe Hyde?
9902You do n''t think any of the servants would know?
9902You found your way all right?
9902You have come to town today?
9902You have some point, of course?
9902You kept the appointment?
9902You know him?
9902You know something about it? 9902 You know that I was at your people''s office yesterday?"
9902You know what this really means-- to you?
9902You mean relating to what he''d told_ us_?
9902You mean to tell me that Ashton was walking about London with a diamond worth fifty thousand pounds in his pocket? 9902 You mean-- he had it on him when he was murdered?"
9902You must know something about his daily life?
9902You never knew that man''s name?
9902You only wish what, Hyde?
9902You really mean me to believe that Mrs. Killenhall has got ten thousand pounds out of Miss Wickham by a trick?
9902You really see something in-- in a typewritten letter?
9902You say there is a gentleman here-- that gentleman!--who was with you when you bought that knife?
9902You say there is something you can tell?
9902You think it a game?
9902You think that this Mr. Ashton was in possession of a secret relating to the missing man-- my uncle, Lord Marketstoke?
9902You think that?
9902You think there''s a secret conspiracy behind all this?
9902You think we shall hear something worth hearing?
9902You took her for a gentlewoman?
9902You want to tell me something about this Ashton case? 9902 You wanted me, I think?"
9902You wish to see me-- on business?
9902You''re a pretty good hand yourself, I think?
9902You''re not a detective?
9902You''re still convinced of it?
9902You''re sure of that?
9902You''re well up in the peerage, ma''am?
9902You''ve always known of him as a townsman of Melbourne?
9902You, as reputable practitioners of our profession, do n''t want to be mixed up with an impostor?
9902Your relations?
9902''May I say a word that''s just now much more important to me than all this?''
9902''Not many changes in this old place, landlady, in your time?''
9902''Then you''re a Lancashire man?''
9902A curious and mysterious case, do n''t you think?"
9902A very remarkable episode, anyway, a most unusual--""You mean the strange disappearance of my uncle-- this Lord Marketstoke?"
9902Again, I say-- why Marketstoke?
9902All that correct?
9902Am I right in that supposition?"
9902And I wish--""What?"
9902And I wonder who the man is?"
9902And are Marketstoke and Wickham and Ashton all one and the same man?"
9902And had robbery been the real motive of the murder?
9902And have you the address right?"
9902And if so, who is that man?
9902And now about your recollections of this poor gentleman, ma''am?"
9902And talking about forgeries, what about old Barrett, who was_ the_ great man at Pumpney, when your mother and I were girls there?
9902And the thing that concerns me is this: if he really was Earl of Ellingham, do you think that fact''s got anything to do with his murder?"
9902And was it likely that he and Pawle were going to find any really important evidence in an obscure Buckinghamshire market- town?
9902And we are so grateful to you-- and oh, do you think you can save him?"
9902And what did he say?"
9902And what made him in such a deuce of a hurry?"
9902And what was the other gentleman like?"
9902And what, too, was this mystery about Miss Wickham and her father?
9902And when a man''s at that stage, do you think he''s going to stop at anything?
9902And who might have got you on to it, if one may ask?"
9902And why this, the very first place in England?
9902And why?
9902And your grandmother''s name is-- what?"
9902And-- had it anything to do with, did it lead up to, his murder?
9902And-- not in any return, gentlemen!--she has promised to give me something which I shall prize far more than any title or any estate-- you understand?
9902And-- these were in Mr. Ashton''s possession?"
9902And-- where is she?"
9902And-- who is he?
9902And-- who is he?"
9902Are you coming, Mr. Viner?
9902Armitstead?"
9902Armitstead?"
9902Armitstead?"
9902As Mr. Viner says, what would Hyde be doing with this stuff in his pocket?"
9902Ashton''s?"
9902Ashton?"
9902Ashton?"
9902Ashton?"
9902Ashton?"
9902Ashtons of Blackburn?
9902Barleyfield?"
9902Barleyfield?"
9902But I believe Mr. Viner has something to say?"
9902But I should like to ask you some questions?
9902But I''ll tell you what, Mr. Viner,"he added with a grin:"as you''re so confident, why do n''t you find him?"
9902But good heavens, man, what does all this mean?
9902But if he gets showing it to other people, in public places-- what?"
9902But it appears to be becoming increasingly difficult to find it.... What is it?"
9902But let us be clear on one point-- are we to tell this young lady what our conclusions are, regarding herself?"
9902But now, if Lord Ellingham refuses that offer, does your client intend to commence proceedings?"
9902But now, what do I know?
9902But now, who is he?
9902But now,"continued Mr. Pawle,"how far does this take us toward solving the mystery of my client''s death?
9902But now-- what about the information he gave you?
9902But oh, do you think there is any chance for him?"
9902But the murderer?
9902But what''s this he''s put at the end, as a sort of note?"
9902But when is the adjourned inquest?"
9902But where are you?"
9902But,"added the old lawyer, shaking his head,"what does all this imply?
9902But-- how did you get to know Mr. Ashton and to hear of this diamond?
9902But-- what are you going to do?"
9902But-- what does he know?
9902But-- what made you watch these people?"
9902But-- what more can you tell us?"
9902But-- where?"
9902But-- who is he?"
9902But-- who''s behind him?
9902But-- you think this is very serious?"
9902CHAPTER III WHO WAS MR. ASHTON?
9902CHAPTER VII WHAT WAS THE SECRET?
9902CHAPTER XXIII IS THIS MAN RIGHT?
9902CHAPTER XXIX WHO IS TO TELL HER?
9902Can you come at once?
9902Can you run down at once and join us?
9902Can you tell me anything about Mr. Ashton''s usual habits?
9902Carless?"
9902Cave?"
9902Clothes, pocket- money, and so on?"
9902Come, now?"
9902Cortelyon?"
9902Dead?
9902Dealers in diamonds, see?
9902Did Ashton tell you the name of this man?"
9902Did anything happen?"
9902Did every secret, too, possibly endanger a man''s life as his old schoolfellow''s was being endangered?
9902Did he come to you?"
9902Did he go?
9902Did he lose his reason or his memory, and wander away and away?
9902Did he murder John Ashton for them?
9902Did he tell you more?"
9902Did he think of her maiden name, Wickham, when he wanted a new one for himself?
9902Did n''t Mr. Ashton tell you?"
9902Did n''t the old lady say that the seventh Earl died intestate?
9902Did n''t you?"
9902Did you know this Lord Marketstoke before he disappeared?"
9902Did you notice that he was not really affronted by your remark?
9902Did you see the advertisements which were issued, broadcast, at the time of the seventh Earl of Ellingham''s death?"
9902Do you know the Rue Royale?
9902Do you know what I think?
9902Do you know who paid yours?"
9902Do you mean to tell me that with time and trouble and patience you ca n''t find out to whom that machine belongs?
9902Do you really think such things happen in real life, as those we''ve been reading about?"
9902Do you see my idea?"
9902Does anybody know him?"
9902Dr. Cortelyon, will you see him when he comes along?
9902Eh?"
9902Eventually she approached me, and at once asked me if I had kept secret the receipt of the mysterious letter?
9902FLETCHER 1922 CONTENTS CHAPTER I FACED WITH REALITY II NUMBER SEVEN IN THE SQUARE III WHO WAS ASHTON?
9902Failing proofs in other directions, failing the discovery of the real murderer, how was that case going to be upset?
9902First-- why had he come forward after this long interval?
9902For example, you evidently do not admit my claim?"
9902For what reason?
9902Friends, now?
9902Grandfather living?"
9902Great Central, is n''t it?
9902Had he any business?
9902Had she anything to do with the secret?
9902Had they ever met?
9902Has any one been here?"
9902Have those papers always been in your possession since you left England thirty- five years ago?"
9902Have you a card?"
9902Have you a key that will fit it?"
9902Have you ever seen a starved dog eat?
9902He-- What is it?"
9902His general appearance, now-- how did that strike you?"
9902Hold the half- sheet up to the light-- what do you see?
9902How did you get that ring?"
9902How did you get them?"
9902How do I come in?"
9902How does that strike you, Viner?"
9902How is it that no one at all has come forward to say that Ashton was seen with this man?
9902How is it this man was n''t found in possession of them?"
9902How long do you suppose it would take to strike the life out of a man and to snatch a few valuables from his clothing?
9902How long have you known him?"
9902How many murders go undetected-- how many burglaries are never traced-- how many forgeries are done and never found out?
9902How on earth did he contrive to disappear without leaving some trace?
9902How was it, if legal proceedings were likely to arise out of it, that Ashton had not told Pawle about it?
9902I am right in supposing,"he continued, suddenly interrupting himself,"that the Ellingham title runs in the female as in the male line?"
9902I assert-- what is it, Portlethwaite?"
9902I do n''t know,"he went on, glancing at the card which still lay on Mr. Pawle''s blotting- pad,"if you know my name at all?
9902I gather-- if you do n''t mind my asking-- that your brother has been out of touch with you for some time?"
9902I mean when Hyde was brought up the first time?"
9902I mean-- as a rule?"
9902I suppose you''ve never seen such a document?
9902I wonder if he rented a box at any of the safe- deposit places?
9902If he did n''t put these things there, who did?"
9902If so, why did n''t he come forward?
9902In the first, how on earth did the man contrive to get away unobserved from a town in which, presumably, every soul knew him?
9902Inspector Drillford''s compliments, and would Mr. Viner come round?
9902Instead of going direct to Tichborne, where you''d naturally have thought all his affection and interests rested, where did he go?
9902Is his body lying at the bottom of some hole by some roadside?
9902Is n''t it a queer thing?"
9902Is n''t that what I said?
9902Is that really so?"
9902Is that the Wickham mentioned there?"
9902Is that the family name?"
9902Is this man some fellow that he picked up on the way?
9902It seems-- by George, Millwaters,"he suddenly exclaimed,"what if this is some infernal plant-- trap-- something of that sort?
9902It''s another likely thing for Hyde to possess, and to carry about, is n''t it?"
9902Just so-- and your grandmother, who sent you here, keeps an inn there?"
9902Just so-- you do n''t know the name of that gentleman, either?"
9902Killenhall?"
9902Let me preface whatever you choose to tell us with a question: Do you know that they were in possession of John Ashton?"
9902Likely thing for Langton Hyde to be carrying in his pocket, eh?"
9902Martincole?"
9902Mirrapore Street?
9902Miss Wickham, you always understood that Mr. Ashton and your father were very close friends, I believe?"
9902Miss Wickham?"
9902More mystery?"
9902Mr. Cave, the first question I want to put to you is this: on what date did you receive the letter which you exhibited in court this morning?"
9902Mr. Cave-- you''ll continue to be heard of at the Belfield Hotel?"
9902Now then-- but what''s your name, my dear?"
9902Now, I ask you again-- where''s Ashton''s purse?
9902Now, Mr. Cave, you got no information out of the woman?"
9902Now, Pawle, what do you really say about all this?"
9902Now, a first question-- do you, as his legal advisers, believe in his claim?"
9902Now, did Mr. Ashton never tell you anything much about your father?"
9902Now, gentlemen, shall we go?"
9902Now, have you any recollection of your father?"
9902Now, is that another coincidence?
9902Now, ma''am, what can you tell about him?"
9902Now, sir, are you not the person who claims to be the rightful Earl of Ellingham?"
9902Now, then, did this claimant steal them?
9902Now, then-- mind, you''re on your oath!--is Edward Cave your real or full name?"
9902Now, then-- where did he get them?
9902Now, what do you think of the proceedings we''ve just heard?
9902Now, what sort of man was he-- in appearance?"
9902Now, who is he?
9902Now,"he went on, turning to the sergeant,"about that search?
9902Now,_ he_ can go straight to that door and demand to see her, and--""Why ca n''t we?"
9902Now-- which?"
9902Now-- who?
9902Of what class was this Ashton?"
9902Once there, let him be asked how he came into possession of these papers?
9902Or is it that there''s some connection between her and all these dead and gone Avices?"
9902Or-- another question-- what could we, police officials, do?"
9902Pawle went on, when the old landlady had left them alone,"what do you think of this extraordinary story?
9902Pawle?"
9902Pawle?"
9902Pawle?"
9902Pawle?"
9902Pawle?"
9902Perkwite?"
9902Perkwite?"
9902Pray, did he never show you anything of a valuable nature which he carried in his pocketbook?"
9902Roscombe?"
9902Second-- what evidence had he to support and prove his claim?"
9902She-- but what are you thinking?"
9902So I come to tell you what I know, see?
9902So he really was a schoolmate of yours?"
9902So,"he went on,"you reside at the Belmead Hotel, in Lancaster Gate, and your name is Edward Cave?"
9902So-- shall we go round?"
9902Supposing Ashton to be the long- lost Lord Marketstoke-- could he have established a claim such as you speak of?"
9902Ten sharp?
9902Ten thousand?
9902That is correct too?
9902That''s one of the most expensive schools in England, is n''t it?"
9902The native place called him, do you see?
9902Then, in that case, that girl outside there--""Well?"
9902These ladies, now?
9902These two women-- did they feel it much?"
9902They puzzled me?
9902This is his house, is n''t it?"
9902This man he saw?"
9902Those papers, of course--""Now, what particular papers are you thinking of?"
9902VI SPECULATIONS VII WHAT WAS THE SECRET?
9902Very well-- how long have you had it?"
9902Viner, I suppose you''re going home?
9902Viner?"
9902Viner?"
9902Viner?"
9902Viner?"
9902Viner?"
9902Viner?"
9902Viner?"
9902Viner?"
9902Viner?"
9902Was he murdered in broad daylight on a public road?
9902Was he really her guardian?"
9902Was it possible that he had gone to some other solicitor?
9902Was it the man he was with in Paris?
9902We merely wish to make search for a certain legal purpose, eh?"
9902We saw Miss Wickham and Mrs. Killenhall-- there''s Miss Wickham, but where''s the other lady?
9902We shall come in my motorcar-- you can put that up for the night, and my driver too?
9902Well, I introduce him to some of the other boys in the Garden, see?
9902Well, and what''s the message your grandmother sent me?
9902Well, have you seen Dr. Martincole this afternoon?
9902Well, now, do you remember your father?"
9902Well-- any more?"
9902Well-- have you seen this doctor?"
9902Were there often as strange ones as that upon which he had so unexpectedly stumbled?
9902Westbourne Grove way, you say this fellow went?
9902What business can he have in this place?
9902What can anybody think?"
9902What did he do with himself while he was there?"
9902What did he do with his time?"
9902What did she know about him?
9902What did you find on him?"
9902What do you know about it?
9902What do you think Methley and Woodlesford came to tell him?
9902What do you think?
9902What do you think?"
9902What does the man who''s been away from his native land for the best part of his life do, as a rule, when at last he sets foot on it again-- eh?"
9902What else has he to prove that he''s what he says he is?"
9902What is that one half?"
9902What number did my man say it was-- seven?"
9902What on earth does it mean?
9902What particular romance, do you think, could be attached to the mere fact that Ashton paid a three days''visit to Marketstoke?"
9902What school?"
9902What sort of thing is that for an innocent, harmless man to carry about him?
9902What time was that, now?"
9902What was I saying?
9902What was it?
9902What was this secret affecting one of the first families in England, of which Ashton had told his two Melbourne friends?
9902What were you doing with that knife in your possession?"
9902What''s Miss Wickham being brought down here for?
9902What''s brought you to this-- to be here, in this place?"
9902What''s it all about?"
9902What''s the obvious conclusion?
9902What, frankly,_ is_ your opinion?"
9902Whatever makes a highly- respectable, shrewd old lady like you cherish such an insensate fancy for this sort of stuff?"
9902When did you come down here?"
9902Where are they?"
9902Where can Bellingham be found?"
9902Where did he go at night?
9902Where did he go when he went into the City?
9902Where had they met?
9902Where is she?"
9902Where is she?"
9902Where''s Ashton''s purse?
9902Who is he, by the by?"
9902Who left this?"
9902Who was Ashton?"
9902Who was the man?
9902Who''s at the back of him?
9902Who, then, was the guilty man?
9902Who-- to be plain-- who''s making a cat''s- paw of him?
9902Why Marketstoke?
9902Why did he go?
9902Why did he shoot her?
9902Why not go to the expense-- when there''s so much at stake?
9902Why, as Pawle had remarked, were there no papers or documents, concerning her to be found anywhere?
9902Why, then, when this man-- if he is the real man-- returned home, did he not come to us?
9902Why?
9902Will you tell us how you lost those papers, and more particularly, how you recently regained possession of them?
9902Will you-- and Mr. Viner, if he''ll be so good-- meet me tomorrow morning, say at noon, at my solicitors''offices?"
9902Would Hyde, his wits sharpened by danger, be able to spot him as the muffled man of Lonsdale Passage?
9902XIX UNDER EXAMINATION XX SURPRISING READINESS XXI THE MARSEILLES MEETING XXII ON REMAND XXIII IS THIS MAN RIGHT?
9902XXIV THE BROKEN LETTER XXV THROUGH THE TELEPHONE XXVI THE DISMAL STREET XXVII THE BACK WAY XXVIII THE TRUTH XXIX WHO IS TO TELL HER?
9902Yes?
9902Yes?"
9902You absolutely claim to be the ninth Earl of Ellingham?"
9902You did n''t see anybody about, sir?"
9902You do n''t know when or where you saw him?"
9902You have n''t followed his profession, I gather?"
9902You know nothing about them, sir?"
9902You know where they are buried?"
9902You know, the doctor who comes to the house behind us?"
9902You never heard of him out there?
9902You see how they''re signed-- you see how they''re addressed?
9902You see the immense, the vital importance of this to the unfortunate young fellow in the dock?"
9902You see what it is?
9902You seem to know them?"
9902You think this matter of the man in the muffler important?"
9902You understand?"
9902You want to find out if Hyde can recognize him as the man whom he met at the Markendale Square end of Lonsdale Passage?"
9902You wo n''t mind giving evidence about this if it''s necessary?"
9902You would n''t like me to find out this gentleman''s name?
9902You''ll go round there with me?"
9902You''re from Marketstoke eh?
9902You''ve accommodations for a couple of gentlemen, I suppose, my dear?"
9902You''ve no doubt yourself, I think, that the unfortunate fellow Hyde is innocent?"
9902You''ve some idea?"
9902Your lordship has doubtless read in the newspapers of the murder of a man named Ashton in Lonsdale Passage, in the Bayswater district?"
9902and how, and where?"
9902asked Mr. Pawle, who evidently admired Miss Penkridge''s shrewd observations,"that is what, now?"
9902he continued, glancing at Miss Wickham,"was n''t it in order?"
9902he said, in a low, concentrated tone,"do n''t you know me?
9983''A hand?''
9983''A little bit slow, eh?''
9983''A little more wine?''
9983''Abundance of malice; but I do n''t think he''s countenanced?''
9983''Ah, Dorcas, why will you misconstrue me?
9983''Ah, the expenses?''
9983''Am I to conclude that you withdraw from your engagement?''
9983''Am I?
9983''And I suppose,''he said,''we are to regard this little conversation, for the present, as confidential?''
9983''And Miss Lake is quite well?''
9983''And am I always to be sick, here in my little bed, Wapsie?''
9983''And how do you do-- quite well, Jim-- and out of place?
9983''And how have you been, Radie?''
9983''And how is Mark?''
9983''And is he in danger, the handsome little fellow?''
9983''And is it from the abyss, Sir, he writes his letters?''
9983''And keep the hall door shut and bolted?''
9983''And may I particularly ask that you will so attend to what I am about to say, as to be able to make a note of it for Mr. Welder''s consideration?''
9983''And now,''said she,''Chelford, ought not we to send for poor Rachel: her only brother?
9983''And pray, Lady Chelford, what do you think of Mr. Mark Wylder?''
9983''And pray, Mr. Larkin, can I be of any use?''
9983''And pray, what does she want you to do, Stanley?''
9983''And so it is really half- past eleven?''
9983''And so,''said the captain, coming to a stand- still,''I''ll bid you good- bye, Larkin; what stay, I forgot to ask, do you make in town?''
9983''And tell me, Dorcas, does he know that he is in danger-- such imminent danger?''
9983''And there is really no secret-- nothing--_tell_ your wife-- nothing you fear coming to light?''
9983''And they ca n''t come_ to- day_?''
9983''And was there no more?''
9983''And what do you call this place?''
9983''And what do you want of me now?''
9983''And what makes you think that, Rachel, darling?''
9983''And what reason can you give?''
9983''And what_ do_ you propose, then?''
9983''And when does he return?''
9983''And where is poor Billy quartered?''
9983''And why do you contradict and thwart me upon business of which I know something and you nothing?
9983''And why not?
9983''And why?''
9983''And would that arrangement of Mr. Wylder''s have satisfied the conditions of the will?''
9983''And you do n''t think_ you_ could have persuaded yourself to repeat that little charm, which obtained her boon and one of his horses straightway?''
9983''And-- and any news in that quarter of Mr. Mark Wylder-- any-- any_ surmise_?
9983''And_ where_, Captain Lake, did it occur, may I enquire?''
9983''Any answer required?''
9983''Any message?''
9983''Are n''t you afraid of being robbed and murdered, Radie?''
9983''Are you better, Dorcas?''
9983''Are you better, dear?''
9983''Are you ill, Dorkie, darling?''
9983''Are you looking for anything, Willie, darling?
9983''Are you sure?''
9983''Are you well, dear?''
9983''Been in Calcutta, Lake?''
9983''Better to- day, Tamar?''
9983''But I think he comes it a little too strong-- two sermons last Sunday, and a prayer- meeting at nine o''clock?''
9983''But Larkin has been corresponding with Mark Wylder up to a very late day, and if this body has been so long buried, how the devil can it be he?
9983''But do n''t you think, Radie, I should do well to marry, that is, assuming everything to be suitable?''
9983''But do you happen, Captain Lake, to know of any of those unfortunate, those miserable connections which young gentlemen of fashion-- eh?
9983''But do you think Mr. Larkin really supposes that poor Mark is dead?''
9983''But he does not look worse?''
9983''But how can you show it?''
9983''But how_ is_ he?''
9983''But tell me, Stanley, how do you want to apply money?
9983''But what is it?''
9983''But you would not give me to him, Wapsie?''
9983''But, my darling, do n''t you know the reversion under the will is a great_ fortune_?
9983''By- and- by; what do you think of Larkin?''
9983''By- the- bye, are you anything of a cricketer?
9983''Ca n''t you touch the bell, Sir?
9983''Call me Rachel; and wo n''t you let me call you Dolly?''
9983''Can I conjecture why he is gone?''
9983''Can I do anything, Radie?
9983''Can I?
9983''Certainly; shall I ask my mother, or will you write?''
9983''Come, Stanley, what do you want?''
9983''Come, Tamar, what do you want of me?
9983''Compulsion, I suppose; you mean constraint?''
9983''Consider_ what_, Sir?''
9983''D-- the dogs, what are they barking for?''
9983''Dead, Sir!--and what the plague puts that in your head?
9983''Dear little Fairy-- where is he?''
9983''Did I?
9983''Did he wish to see no one?''
9983''Did not you_ know_ I was there?''
9983''Did you see Buddle, just now?''
9983''Did you see Stanley?
9983''Did you see that?''
9983''Do I think it may safely be contracted, solely to join two estates?''
9983''Do n''t you think he might take steps to relieve himself considerably?''
9983''Do n''t you think if we said a pound a- day, and your travelling expenses?''
9983''Do n''t you think it had best go at once?--there may be something requiring an answer, and your post leaves, does n''t it, at twelve?''
9983''Do n''t you think possibly Mark Wylder might think us very impertinent?''
9983''Do n''t you think, Mr. Larkin, you could perhaps reduce_ this_, just a little?''
9983''Do n''t you think, Rachel, remembering what I have confided to you, that you might be franker with me in this?''
9983''Do you hear that, Willie?''
9983''Do you know anything of him?''
9983''Do you mean to say you actually think he''s shut up in a madhouse at this moment?''
9983''Do you recollect, Radie, what I said that morning when I first called here, and saw you?''
9983''Do you remember Miss Beauchamp, Radie?''
9983''Do you suppose I am a highwayman in disguise, or a murderer, like-- what''s his name-- Eugene Aram?
9983''Do you think it''s true, Sir?''
9983''Do you think, Lady Chelford, it may be safely contracted, solely to join two estates?''
9983''Do you think, Mr. Larkin, you can write that strong letter to stay proceedings which you intended yesterday?''
9983''Do you think,''said he,''there is much danger of that?
9983''Do you want to wake your people up?''
9983''Do you wish another game?''
9983''Does he really think that Stanley will recover?''
9983''Does he say anything?''
9983''Does he think there is danger?''
9983''Does he?''
9983''Does little Dorkie love me?''
9983''Does she like you?''
9983''Dorcas, darling, you are certainly ill. What is the matter?''
9983''Dorcas, you are changed; have I lost your love for asking so poor a kindness?''
9983''For whom?''
9983''Foul play-- is there?
9983''Ha, is n''t he?
9983''Had you been thinking of him lately?''
9983''Handsome, but so noisy and foolish, and wicked; and is not he vulgar, too?''
9983''Hanged if I know!--what the devil''s that to you or me, Sir?''
9983''Has he lost his wits?
9983''Has he spoken to anyone?''
9983''Has she got your mistress''s directions?''
9983''Have you ever seen Paul''s Eleven play?''
9983''Have you heard anything of Mark, darling?''
9983''Have you heard anything since, Mr. Larkin?
9983''Have you observed how Dorcas has treated me this evening?''
9983''Have you really come all this way, Rachel, to see_ me_ this evening?''
9983''He bears a good character among the townspeople, does n''t he?
9983''He has not appointed another man of business?''
9983''He is distressed for money?
9983''He looks better-- a little better, do n''t you think; just a little better?''
9983''How are you, Lake?
9983''How could I tell he was such a_ fiend_?''
9983''How d''ye do, Larkin?
9983''How d''ye do, Mrs. Dutton?
9983''How d''ye do, dear Larkin?''
9983''How do you do, Margery?
9983''How do you do, old Ruddle-- quite well?''
9983''How do you do?--better, I hope, Radie?
9983''How far is the junction?''
9983''How is Rachel?
9983''How is he, Dorcas?''
9983''How long is all this to go on for, Master Stanley?''
9983''How the-- could he tell?
9983''I believe, Charlie,''he recommenced suddenly,''there is not such an unnatural family on record as ours; is there?
9983''I dare say,''said Wylder, with a sneer,''he was asking affectionately for me, eh?''
9983''I do n''t know; but I think he mentioned Larkins''s house, did n''t he?
9983''I do n''t think, Rachel dear, you heard me?''
9983''I have, indeed, dear; have n''t I?
9983''I know her brother, a little-- that is, Captain Lake-- Stanley Lake; he''s her brother, I fancy?''
9983''I mean of the-- the family arrangements, in which, as Mr. Wylder''s friend, you seem to take an interest?''
9983''I say good- night, old Tamar; and hold your tongue, do you see?''
9983''I say,''said Stanley, addressing the keeper, whom by a beck he had brought to his side,''you do n''t allow him, surely, to go alone now?''
9983''I suppose the world thinks me a very happy fellow, Miss Lake?''
9983''I used to be brave; my courage I think is gone; but who''d have imagined what''s before me?''
9983''I was there, and Hockley was there, and Mark Wylder was there-- was not he?''
9983''I wonder what they''ll think of it at Brandon?''
9983''I''ve a lot of fellows with me; they''ve just run in to luncheon; wo n''t you take something?''
9983''I, Radie?''
9983''In none of your conversations upon the subject with-- with members of your family?''
9983''In the Dutch room, after tea, I suppose?''
9983''Is Larcom there?''
9983''Is Larkin here?''
9983''Is Lord Chelford with him?''
9983''Is he dead?''
9983''Is he so very odd?''
9983''Is he?''
9983''Is it Mr. Larkin, my dear?
9983''Is it Sir Harry Bracton?
9983''Is it thought the writs will follow the dissolution unusually quickly?''
9983''Is she at home?''
9983''Is there a_ Wylder_ vault here, Captain Brandon Lake?''
9983''Is there any vacant bed- room near where you have placed him?
9983''Is there immediate danger?''
9983''Is there no doctor-- I''m very much hurt?''
9983''It ca n''t go beyond five hundred, or say nine hundred-- eh, at the outside?''
9983''Just for the sake of her estate-- it''s the way of the world, of course, and all that-- but, is not it a little bit shabby, do n''t you think?
9983''Just so; and what do you found your opinion about Mr. Mark Wylder on?''
9983''Lake?
9983''London?''
9983''M.P.--eh?
9983''Maybe he has returned?''
9983''Maybe, Rachel dear, you would like to drive a little?''
9983''Miss Beauchamp?
9983''Monstrous hot, Sir-- hey?
9983''Moore''s is a daring morality-- what do you think, for instance, of these lines?''
9983''No good story-- hey?
9983''No headache or fever?''
9983''No, Stanley; nothing unusual, is there?''
9983''No?
9983''No?
9983''Nor to come into any place but this-- the park, I mean?''
9983''Not asleep?''
9983''Not poor William Wylder?''
9983''Not schoolfellows----you are not an Eton man, eh?''
9983''Nothing to Chelford-- nothing particular, I mean?''
9983''Now, Radie, you must be reasonable-- who have I to advise with?''
9983''Now, Willie dear, do you hear that-- do you hear what she says?''
9983''Now, now, we are all friends, are n''t we?''
9983''Objection?
9983''Of Mark?
9983''Oh, Lake Avernus, is it?''
9983''Oh, is there?''
9983''Oh, yes; and how do you do, Mr. Larcom?
9983''Oh?
9983''Oh?''
9983''Or a mystery-- or even a dream?''
9983''Or an elopement?''
9983''Or the other thing, eh?''
9983''Perhaps,''said Mr. Larkin, blandly,''you would permit me to look at the letter you mention having received from the solicitors at Cambridge?''
9983''Personal injury?
9983''Quite so,''said Lake, quietly;''and where is the notice he speaks of here?''
9983''Rachel, Rachel, is it possible?''
9983''Radie not come yet?''
9983''Red ink?''
9983''Red?''
9983''Returned?''
9983''Satisfactory, I hope?''
9983''Saturday, is it?
9983''Say what you will, but keep your temper-- will you?''
9983''Shall we put it off for a little?
9983''She has not cost me much?''
9983''She quite believes her mistress is up stairs, eh?''
9983''Sir Harry who?''
9983''Sir Julius Hockley?
9983''Smith?
9983''So I was; but I arrived here this morning; I''m staying for a few days at the Lodge-- Larkin''s house; you''re going home, I suppose, Radie?''
9983''So that being understood-- eh?--I suppose we have nothing particular to add?''
9983''So you are going to London--_to- morrow_, is not it?''
9983''Stanley, dear, what''s the matter, in Heaven''s name?''
9983''Surely she is woman enough to be fussed a little about her marriage?''
9983''Tamar, they are galloping down the road, I think-- what can it mean?''
9983''That ballad, you know, expresses it very prettily:--"Oh, thou hast been the cause of this anguish, my mother?"''
9983''That?
9983''The blue?
9983''The man, Sir, as you left a note for yesterday, which he desires to see you?''
9983''Then I am to understand, my lord, that I am superseded in the management of this case?''
9983''Then the thing ca n''t go on?''
9983''Then you wo n''t come into the house, you wo n''t drink tea with me, and you wo n''t join me in my little walk; and why not any of these?''
9983''Think he''ll do then?''
9983''This is Brandon?''
9983''This place, I suppose, is confoundedly slow, is not it?
9983''This room, Stanley, dear?''
9983''Upon your honour?''
9983''Very honest fellows, with good looking after-- eh?''
9983''Very impertinent; yes, indeed, Stanley, and so I shall continue to be until----''''Pray how does it concern you?
9983''Very true, quite true, very urgent indeed,''replied the attorney, calmly;''I presume, Miss Lake, I may take a chair?''
9983''Very weak?
9983''Waiting there?''
9983''Was Lord Chelford coming?''
9983''We are all agreed, are not we?
9983''Well, Dorkie, love, what''s the matter?''
9983''Well, Larkin, how d''ye do?
9983''Well, Radie, I know you mean me; but as you wish it, I''ll carry my fangs elsewhere;--and what has become of Will Wylder?''
9983''Well, Tamar, how do you do?--how are all?
9983''Well, Tamar, where''s your story?''
9983''Well, the next possibly, I hope?''
9983''Well, things do turn out very oddly; do n''t they?''
9983''Well, what is he doing, and when does he come back?
9983''Well, what the devil do you mean by refusing to help me, even with a hint?
9983''Well, you know best; but are not there resources?''
9983''Well?''
9983''Were you of age, my dear Sir, when he gave you these books on credit?
9983''What ails her-- is she ill, Master Stanley?''
9983''What are you doing here, Sir?''
9983''What are you laughing at?''
9983''What body?''
9983''What can she see in him?
9983''What can that mean?''
9983''What day of the month is this?''
9983''What do I think of marriage?''
9983''What do you call this, your boudoir or parlour?''
9983''What do you laugh at, Charlie?''
9983''What election, dear?''
9983''What have I heard-- what have I endured?
9983''What is he to do, Rachel?''
9983''What on earth can it be?''
9983''What the d-- has he come down here for?
9983''What the devil are you talking about?''
9983''What the devil difficulty_ can_ there be, Sir?
9983''What the devil do you mean, woman?''
9983''What the devil''s that?''
9983''What then?''
9983''What thing?
9983''What was Mark Wylder''s religion, that I may speak to him comfortably?''
9983''What''s that?''
9983''What''s that?''
9983''What''s your quarrel?
9983''What?''
9983''What_ is_ this law- paper?''
9983''When do you mean to pay Dawlings that bet on the Derby?''
9983''Where is he, darling-- where is Stanley?''
9983''Where is he?
9983''Who are you?''
9983''Who can this be?''
9983''Who have you got in the rooms?''
9983''Who is he?''
9983''Who is that?''
9983''Who knows?
9983''Who''s on the other side?''
9983''Who''s that?''
9983''Who''s that?''
9983''Who''s there?''
9983''Who''s there?''
9983''Who''s there?''
9983''Who, pray, is disputing the husband''s right to rule?''
9983''Who-- what-- what is it?''
9983''Who-- where-- Mark Wylder?''
9983''Who?''
9983''Who?--Lake?''
9983''Why could you not leave me in peace, Stanley?''
9983''Why do n''t you ask Rachel, she''s cleverer than I, and you are more in the habit of consulting her?''
9983''Why do you come so softly, Tamar?
9983''Why do you talk that way?
9983''Why have you come here?''
9983''Why should not_ he_ do as well as another?
9983''Why should you, though?
9983''Why so odious, Rachel?
9983''Why, d-- it, it ca n''t be helped now; can it?''
9983''Why, d-- you, Tamar, ca n''t you listen?''
9983''Why, his Brother Mark could get him cleverly out of it-- could not he?''
9983''Why, my dearest, what on earth could put such a wild fancy in your head?''
9983''Why, you have not sold out?''
9983''Why-- what has Sir Harry done?
9983''Will you be so good, Sir, as to touch the bell?''
9983''Will you come with me for a drive, Radie?''
9983''Will you dance this set-- are you engaged, Miss Brandon?''
9983''Will you give me just a minute, Mr. De Cresseron, in the drawing- room, while I show you a miniature?
9983''Will you take me for your footman as far as the town?''
9983''William Wylder is not selling his reversion?''
9983''Wo n''t you sit down?''
9983''Would you like a messenger?
9983''Yes''m, very tired''m; would he like his precious head lower a bit?
9983''Yes, dear Stanley, much better; but why should you suppose any plot against our title?''
9983''Yes-- signal-- stop him, can you?''
9983''You are better, darling; are not you better?''
9983''You are better, darling; you are rested?''
9983''You are not going to write now, Willie, dear?''
9983''You are staying at Brandon?''
9983''You did, did you?
9983''You do n''t think there''s any really serious annoyance-- you do n''t know the party?''
9983''You do, Radie, and why do you dissemble with me?''
9983''You drove Mr. Wylder to Dollington?''
9983''You have heard, of course, of Mr. Wylder''s absence?''
9983''You have your papers?''
9983''You have, have you?
9983''You know Captain Lake?''
9983''You mean just now?
9983''You mean to come out as an orator, then?''
9983''You seem to be very sensible, Mr. De Cresseron; pray tell me, frankly, what do you think of all this?''
9983''You sit up stairs chiefly?''
9983''You''ll come then?''
9983''You''ll not be angry, Master Stanley, dear?
9983''You''ll not wait for the division on Trawler''s motion?''
9983''You''ve a headache, Miss Radie?''
9983''You_ are_ my man of business-- aren''t you?
9983''_ Oh?_''said the young lady, in that tone which is pointed with an unknown accent, between a note of enquiry and of surprise.
9983''s present place of abode?
9983A poacher, maybe?
9983All on a sudden Dorcas Brandon said--''And pray what do you think of marriage, Lady Chelford?''
9983And I think she offered up a little thanksgiving, she so longed to give him his tea herself; and then she asked--''Is our precious mannikin asleep?''
9983And I think when another such yesterday shall have arrived, where shall I be?
9983And Rachel with a start awoke, and sat up with a wild look and a cry--''What is it?''
9983And does it not strike you that my staying here, on the contrary, would-- would tend to prevent the kind of conversation you speak of?''
9983And how is Miss Rachel?''
9983And if it be as bodies usually are after such a time, how can anybody pretend to identify it?
9983And now, dear,''she said, after a little pause,''you''ll remember your solemn promise?''
9983And pray how do you amuse yourself here?
9983And what is Smith doing or saying?''
9983And what is this job of Martin''s?
9983And why not, dear?
9983And, I suppose, Captain Lake, you received my note?''
9983And-- and how are the family at Brandon-- all well, I trust?''
9983Anything about Raikes''s lease?''
9983Are any of your people going to Brandon this morning?''
9983Are you better?''
9983Are you certain?
9983Are you coming to Brandon this evening?
9983Are you ill, Dorkie?''
9983Are you ill, darling?''
9983Are you in his secrets at all?''
9983As we went out, Wylder enquired, with his usual good taste:''Well, what do you think of her?''
9983At last she placed the picture in my hand, and asked--''Is this really very like her?''
9983Besides, why on earth should either show himself in that absurd way?
9983But do n''t these very wise things sometimes turn out very foolishly?
9983But does Stanley-- he can hardly hope?''
9983But have we no compensation in this, that the love which begets it is often as unreasonable?
9983But no, it could not be; who was there to call at so odd an hour?
9983But perhaps you''ve heard of it?''
9983But the question which next arose was very perplexed-- was the body that of Mr. Mark Wylder?
9983But what can I say-- how can I thank you?''
9983But what was he to do exactly?
9983But what was to be done with mere''London?''
9983But what was to be done?
9983But who in this wide- awake world was better able to take care of himself than the gallant captain?
9983But you are not to go to the Brandon Arms-- you got my note, did n''t you?''
9983But_ you_ do n''t know?''
9983Can I do anything, Captain Lake, for you while in town?''
9983Can I have mistaken the name?''
9983Can he_ know_ anything?
9983Can you conjecture where his address may now be?''
9983Can you conjecture why he is gone?''
9983Can you tell by the sky when it is holiday in hell?
9983Come in and have a chop, will you?''
9983Come, I say, what is it?''
9983Come, Rachel, shall we escape from the spell and the destiny into solitude?
9983Could anything be imagined so mad-- so unaccountable?
9983Could this be the heroine of the pending alliance?
9983D''ye see-- hey?''
9983D-- it, where''s the note?''
9983D-- you-- are you there?''
9983Did either Miss Lake or the captain use the word mad- house?''
9983Did he tell the family at Brandon?''
9983Did the same idea never strike you?''
9983Did you ever see anything so bee- utiful in your life?
9983Did you ever see so pushing a brute?''
9983Did you see him looking up?''
9983Do n''t keep looking at me; look at something else, ca n''t you?
9983Do n''t they often affect indifference, and occasionally even aversion, where there is a different sort of feeling?
9983Do n''t they sometimes actually admire what is repulsive?
9983Do n''t you know very well, in a small place like this, they are all alive with curiosity?
9983Do n''t you remember Robin Hood?
9983Do n''t you remember"Rasselas?"''
9983Do n''t you think people have eyes to see, and ears and tongues in this part of the world?
9983Do n''t you think so?
9983Do n''t you think-- he may have an object-- and not believe I''m in much danger?
9983Do n''t you?''
9983Do n''t you?''
9983Do they entertain the neighbours ever at Brandon?''
9983Do they know anything very bad-- are you in their power?''
9983Do you allude to a legal matter?''
9983Do you happen to know a person at all versed in Gylingden matters-- or, perhaps, a member of your club-- named Smith?''
9983Do you know anything of him?
9983Do you know him?''
9983Do you know his club, Captain Lake?''
9983Do you know, you frightened me?''
9983Do you know?''
9983Do you mean_ that_?''
9983Do you play?''
9983Do you really think so?''
9983Do you really think your friend, Mr. Wylder, cares about me?''
9983Do you suppose I''m quite demented?
9983Do you take me for a fool?
9983Do you think I''ll leave matters to take their course, and sit down here to be destroyed?
9983Do you think they would ever have got their title by any other means?
9983Do you think you could_ ever_ like me?''
9983Does he mean he''ll be here in a week or only to have the papers ready in a week?''
9983Does he speak to you?''
9983Does not brutality in our sex, and even rascality, interest them sometimes?
9983Does she say where she is staying, or her son?''
9983Dorcas looked down and smiled oddly; it was a sad and bitter smile, and seemed to ask whither has that desperate love, in so short a time, flown?
9983Dorcas returned her gaze with one of haughty amazement; and Rachel said,''Well, Dorcas, you promise?''
9983Eh, can he possibly?
9983Eh?
9983Eh?''
9983Go your own way, why ca n''t you?
9983Had Lord Chelford been invoked, and answered satisfactorily?
9983Had he knowledge, public talents, training?
9983Had he patriotism, any one noble motive or fine instinct to prompt him to public life?
9983Had he seen it at all?
9983Had he seen it there at all?
9983Had it actually occurred, that strange confession of Dorcas Brandon''s?
9983Had n''t you a letter from his mother lately?
9983Had not you better turn back to Gylingden, or the Lodge, or wherever you mean to pass the evening, and leave me to my quiet walk and my solitude?''
9983Had she overheard a part of that unworthy talk of Wylder''s at the dinner- table, the day before, and mistaken Rachel''s share in the dialogue?
9983Had you not better enquire, Mr. Crutchleigh; it would seem we have made a mistake?''
9983Had you not better go down and speak to your friend in the water?''
9983Has it not struck you that Mark Wylder may possibly know something of you, you would not have published?''
9983Has there been any real confidence, Captain Lake, upon your part?
9983Have I been consulted?--I put it to you; have I been trusted?
9983Have not you read of straining at gnats and swallowing camels?
9983Have you any idea what they quarrelled about?''
9983Have you considered it?''
9983Have you heard lately from Jim?''
9983Have you seen it, Captain Lake?''
9983He asked Buddle about ten o''clock( having waked up from a sort of stupor)--''what about Jim Dutton?''
9983He brought forth no cigar- case, with the stereotyped,''Have you any objection to my smoking a cigar?''
9983He glanced aside at the tarn where I had seen the phantom, and by which their path now led them--''You remember Parnell''s pretty image?
9983He had made a still better purchase from the vicar; but what would have become of the vicar if he had not been raised up to purchase?
9983He owed him costs, and, beside, costs also to Burlington, Smith, and Co. Was there not Talkative in''Pilgrim''s Progress?''
9983He told me all about it; did not you, little man?
9983He was now saying-- as holding his''Wapsie''s''hand, he capered round in front, looking up in his face--''Why has Mr. Larkin no teeth when he laughs?
9983He, perhaps, can explain; and pray, my dear, what are these?''
9983Her colour was returning, and with a shivering sigh, she said--''Oh?
9983Hey?
9983His lips stirred and his throat, but he did not speak until a second effort brought utterance, and he murmured,''Is that you, Radie?''
9983His_ justice_ being what?
9983Hockley is a very pretty place, is not it?''
9983How are you, William?''
9983How can you go on with it?''
9983How can you tell which was in the wrong?
9983How could he have overlooked that?
9983How could she account for this desperate hallucination?
9983How could she tell what it might or might not portend?
9983How could that ill- omened man have divined her connection with the incidents-- the unknown incidents-- of that direful night?
9983How could you-- how_ could_ you, Stanley?''
9983How dared her husband mask from her what he confided to another?
9983How did it happen-- oh, how?--you such a scholar, so clever, so handsome, my beautiful Willie-- how did you ever look down on poor wretched me?''
9983How do you do, Lake?
9983How do you mean, Larcom?''
9983How had that horrible figure come there-- why was this meeting-- whence his knowledge?
9983How long since that cold crystal had glowed with the ripples of wine?
9983How long was it since lips had touched its brim before, and whose?
9983How long, you say, was Jack''s sword?
9983How on earth do you get over the day, and, worse still, the evenings?''
9983How soon will the doctor be here?''
9983I am-- I think I am-- a little nervous, darling, and you wo n''t leave me?''
9983I beg you''ll collect yourself-- shall I call for water, Miss Lake?''
9983I dare say-- eh?''
9983I do n''t at all like his coming down here after Mark Wylder; what_ can_ he mean?
9983I do n''t know anything about him, and I do know you-- don''t you see?
9983I do not know in the least what had passed before, but Lake said--''How the devil did he come in?''
9983I happen to know what Mark Wylder would have done-- for he spoke very fiercely on the subject-- perhaps he consulted you?''
9983I heard what Miss Radie said; and is not it true-- is not it cruel-- is not it frightful to go on?''
9983I lit a bit of fire in your room, Miss; would you like me to go up stairs with you, Miss?''
9983I look a- head a bit, eh?
9983I often wonder how the Wylder coat came in the centre; who built the old house-- a Brandon or a Wylder; and if a Wylder, why was it Brandon Hall?
9983I only want to explain it, and get your advice, and any little assistance you can give me; and surely that is not unreasonable?''
9983I quite allow I was wrong-- worse than wrong-- but where is the use of attacking me now, when I''m in this dreadful fix?
9983I really ca n''t suspect so monstrous a thing; but,_ unquestionably_, a letter_ has_ been lost-- and who''s to_ take_ it?''
9983I s''pose, Sir, you were viewing the body?''
9983I say, old fellow, come out and have a weed, will you?''
9983I was not thinking of that; but William Wylder was different; and he did not mention_ me_ either?''
9983I''d choose it thyself, only I''m such a bad judge; but you''ll choose it for me, wo n''t you?
9983I''ll come to- morrow and tell you exactly-- maybe to- morrow evening-- will that do?
9983I''ll consult Larkin-- shall I?
9983I''ll go and see you-- upon my honour I will-- to- morrow, or next day, at the Dell; what''s the good of stopping me here?''
9983I''m a quarter past eleven-- what are you?
9983I''m going into the town; wo n''t that be pretty?''
9983I''m sorry I did not take your advice; but how, I say, could I know he was such a devil?
9983In this particular case his entire expenses reached exactly £5 3_s._, and what do you suppose was the good man''s profit upon that small item?
9983Is Mrs. Dutton at home?''
9983Is Stanley shot?''
9983Is Wylder at all definite as to when we may expect his return?''
9983Is he ever angry when he laughs-- is he, Wapsie-- oh, Wapsie,_ is_ he?
9983Is he really too deep for you?
9983Is he very much hurt?''
9983Is it Lady Macbeth?
9983Is it Martin of the China Kilns, or Martin of the bank?
9983Is it a dream?
9983Is it anything about marriage?
9983Is it night yet?''
9983Is it not so?''
9983Is it not, honestly, a mere noise and interruption-- a musical cackling of geese, and silvery braying of tiny asses?
9983Is it witty, or wise, or learned?
9983Is not it odd?
9983Is not it sad?''
9983Is not it?''
9983Is not it_ melancholy_?''
9983Is that the"Times?"
9983It is dangerous, do n''t you see?
9983It is such a darling little thing; and-- look now-- is not it magnificent?''
9983It was never more than a contingency; and now they say Mark Wylder is married, and has children; they tell me he was seen at Ancona?''
9983It was that odious Sir Harry Bracton-- was not it?''
9983Lady Chelford and Miss Brandon, I suppose, in the drawing- room?''
9983Lake addressed the driver--''You come from Johnson''s Hotel-- don''t you-- at Dollington?''
9983Larcom?''
9983Larkin smiled-- the smile said plainly,''what would he have me live upon, and where?''
9983Larkin''s countenance, which struck the vicar, and he said--''You do n''t see any objection?''
9983Larkin, a lawyer of Gylingden?
9983Little Fairy was asking him a question all this time, very vehemently,''How long was Jack''s sword that he killed the giants with?''
9983Look at it, do, Mr. Wylder-- isn''t it like the ace of hearts?''
9983Look in the glass, and then into your own heart, and ask your conscience, next,''Am I really quite a hero, or altogether so lovely, as I am beloved?''
9983Lots of rats, I fancy, Radie, behind that wainscoting?
9983Maddock?''
9983May I say you''ll come?''
9983May I see Wylder''s note-- that is, if there''s no private business?''
9983May I take the liberty to ask you for one moment to look up?''
9983May one hear it?''
9983May we go into the drawing- room?
9983Miss Brandon looked down, and then, with a pale gaze suddenly in Chelford''s face--''He thinks he may die?''
9983Miss Lake again looked down upon the page, and as she did so, Lord Chelford turned and said--''You are a worshipper of Tom Moore, Miss Lake?''
9983Mr. Mark Wylder, perhaps, you refer to?''
9983Mr. Wylder refuses to execute the deed of sale?''
9983Much hurt, old boy?
9983Nothing for me, by- the- way?''
9983Now, the plain question is, do you wish to retain my services?''
9983Now, was it fair to call a peaceable inhabitant like me into the thick of a fray like this?
9983Oh, Stanley, in mercy, tell me was there any other engagement?''
9983Oh, then where is my son?
9983Oh, where was he to turn?
9983Once again, do you promise?''
9983Or Dorcas-- or had Lake, the diabolical sneak, interposed with his long purse, and a plausible hypocrisy of kindness, to spoil Larkin''s plans?
9983Or any other word-- lunatic asylum, or a-- bedlam, or-- or_ any_ other word meaning the same thing?''
9983Or is it that you do n''t care to search him too narrowly, or have not time?
9983Quite well, I hope?
9983Shall I get some water from your room?''
9983Shall I take you to the supper- room?''
9983Shall I tell you?''
9983Shall I write it all in a book, and give it you?
9983She is at home, is she?''
9983She was constantly hinting something of the kind; and begging of him to make a disclosure-- disclosure of what?
9983Should he live to see the evening?
9983Sir, do you pretend to be a gentleman?''
9983So coming down stairs Rachel said,''Is the vicar at home?''
9983So he did, and hid away the note in his despatch- box, and said--''The family all quite well, I hope?''
9983So you wo n''t be frightened?''
9983So''--''_ Do_ they say that Mark is married?
9983Stanley turned his pale glare of fury from Rachel to Dorcas, and Dorcas said again,''What is it, Rachel, darling?''
9983Strong points, eh, Charlie?
9983Take my arm; I''ll go as far as I can, but it is very late you know-- and you are sure you are not afraid?''
9983Tamar to be sure-- why, of course, I know you; but what the devil brings you here?''
9983That odd look I detected in the mirror-- what did it mean?
9983The Town Clerk pressed his arm with a significant side nod and a wink, which seemed to say,''I understand him; ca n''t you let me manage him?''
9983The Wylders are all well, I hope?''
9983The attorney had just said''_ there_, please,''in reply to the vicar''s question,''Where do I write my name?''
9983The morning-- yes, the morning-- what then?
9983The_ law_ being what?
9983Then came the thought-- perhaps they understood one another, and that was the meaning of Stanley''s unexpected visit?
9983Then he thought he heard a rustling of the leaves near him, and he hallooed,''Who''s there?''
9983Then, you really think there is a conspiracy-- formed_ by_ him or_ against_ him, which?''
9983There was the rub; who could it be?
9983There''s a good girl; wo n''t you?''
9983They steer no more, but drive before the wind; and what care they for wreck or drowning?''
9983They think he wants to get them into a fix-- hey?
9983This is our secret-- yours and mine-- and we''ll forget it; and I could not bear to lose your friendship-- you''ll be my friend still-- won''t you?
9983Was he still abroad, or had he arrived?
9983Was it credible?
9983Was it credible?
9983Was it elation, or was there not something wildly bitter gleaming in that smile?
9983Was it possible that the letter had been sent by mistake to Brandon-- to Captain Lake?
9983Was it possible to hold to both, or must he cleave only to one and despise the other?
9983Was it watchfulness?
9983Was she very wise, or at all learned?
9983Was there no mode of''hedging,''so that whether Mark Wylder were living or dead the attorney should stand to win?
9983Was this doomed house of Brandon never to know repose or fraternity?
9983Well, do you take my offer?''
9983Were slumbers sweet as of old ever to know it more?
9983Were you twenty- one years of age?''
9983What about Radie?
9983What are you driving at, Stanley?''
9983What are you standing there for?''
9983What can he gain from children''s talk?
9983What can it now be to you or me-- why?
9983What can the child mean?''
9983What could all the world do to harm him in free England, if he were innocent, if he were what he seemed-- no worse than his social peers?
9983What could be the motive for this elaborate and hideous fraud?
9983What could old Tamar do?
9983What could they do to him, or why should they hurt him, or what had he done to excite either the suspicion or the temper of the firm?
9983What did it portend?
9983What do you mean by standing?''
9983What do you mean?
9983What do you mean?
9983What do you mean?''
9983What do you say?
9983What do you think of my old plan of the valleys and lakes of Wales?
9983What does Doctor Buddle say?''
9983What does Mrs.---- the housekeeper, say?''
9983What does_ it_ say?''
9983What dreams were henceforward to haunt it?
9983What good can it possibly do you?
9983What had I best do?
9983What has brought you here; my little man?''
9983What is he doing now?''
9983What is his ailment?''
9983What is it that makes your dog so charming a companion in your walks?
9983What object could he gain, for instance, by the fib he had just told me?
9983What object on earth can I have in impairing the estate?
9983What of her?''
9983What on earth_ can_ he mean?
9983What particular good can it do us in this unpleasant uncertainty?''
9983What pretty little tea- cups, Radie-- quite charming-- old cock china, is n''t it?
9983What shall I say?
9983What shall I say?''
9983What sort of beings must those be who hate it?
9983What state had I really been in, when I saw that long- chinned apparition of the pale portrait?
9983What the d-- is it all about?''
9983What was it?''
9983What was it?''
9983What was that to the purpose?
9983What was the peculiarity in that slight movement-- something in the knee?
9983What was this secret?
9983What was to be done?
9983What will be thought?--what will the world say?--what will your friends say?
9983What''s that horrid work of art against the wall?''
9983What, then, did Rachel mean by all that escaped her, when he was in danger?
9983What_ can_ he want of Mark Wylder?
9983Where have you left him?''
9983Where have you put him?''
9983Where is that girl Margery?''
9983Where is the woman who will patiently acquiesce in the reserve of her husband who shares his confidence with another?
9983Where shall it be?''
9983Where will you keep that note?
9983Where''s the station- master?''
9983Who could have fancied any such stupid hurry?
9983Who could tell exactly the cause of his dismissal, and why the young lady had asserted her capricious resolve to be free?
9983Who is to advise you, if not your husband?
9983Who is with you?
9983Who knew to what it might conduct?
9983Who made you a prophet?
9983Who were the witnesses?
9983Who''s that?''
9983Whom have I defrauded?
9983Why could he not put his head in at the door and call him?
9983Why did time limp so tediously away with him, prolonging his anguish gratuitously?
9983Why do n''t you ask_ her_?
9983Why does mamma say he is a good man, Wapsie?''
9983Why had he not spoken to him?
9983Why have not you a spare engine at a place like this?
9983Why is his work so ill done, when he ought most to exert himself?
9983Why is that fellow so supine?
9983Why one place is as well as another; and what the devil have I to do with secrets?
9983Why should Dorcas be so earnest to convince her handsome cousin that there was nothing in this rumour?
9983Why should I like your company?''
9983Why should he be retained in that ghastly existence?
9983Why should he dread this cabal, as he called it, even though directed by the malignant energy of the absent and shadowy Mark Wylder?
9983Why should it be necessary to buy off the conspirators whom a guiltless man would defy and punish?
9983Why should not I share in the profit-- if such there be-- by getting my hand too upon the instrument of compression?
9983Why should she fear Stanley, or what could it be to her whether he was beside her in her homeward walk?
9983Why should the world be cheerful?
9983Why should they both object merely to receive and fund his money?
9983Why will you not believe me?
9983Why wo n''t you credit what I say?''
9983Will nothing content you?''
9983Will the people come_ to- day_?''
9983Will you be good enough to explain yourself?
9983Will you come, Rachel?''
9983Will you have a cigar?''
9983Will you just look at that-- it''s the''Globe''--only six lines, and tell me what_ you_ make of it?''
9983Will you read the note?''
9983William Wylder rightly conceived you, when he so stated your meaning to me?''
9983Willie, darling, do n''t you wish him to come in?''
9983Wo n''t that do?
9983Wo n''t you send for William Wylder and Chelford, and tell all you know of Mark?''
9983Wo n''t you shake hands?''
9983Wo n''t you sit down-- no bad news?
9983Wo n''t you trust me?''
9983Would it not be a more convenient course, as well as more merciful to put him to death?
9983Would you dislike my smoking a cigar, Radie?''
9983Would you let him whip me, if I was naughty?
9983Wylder?''
9983Wylder?''
9983You always have a purpose-- will you ever learn to be frank and straightforward, and speak plainly to those whom you ought to trust, if not to love?
9983You are corresponding with him-- aren''t you?''
9983You are looking pale-- you have not been ill?
9983You are not very tired, are you?
9983You dear old witch, how the plague could you take any such frightful nonsense into your head?
9983You do n''t drink?''
9983You do n''t?''
9983You have heard, then, from Mr. Wylder, my dear Dorcas?''
9983You have succeeded already in filling Dorcas''s mind with surmise and speculation, and do you think the Gylingden people are either blind or dumb?
9983You know Rachel Lake?''
9983You know Sir Julius, do n''t you?''
9983You know this goes under ground all the way to Vallambrosa?''
9983You mean Wylder, of course?''
9983You remember my poor mamma, do n''t you, very well?''
9983You see exactly what I mean?''
9983You told me so, I think; and if it is not too much trouble, dear Radie, would you allow me to see it?''
9983You understand me clearly, Tamar?''
9983You understand?''
9983You used to be accurate, Tamar; may I depend upon you?''
9983You''ll take care of me in your will, Nunkie, wo n''t you?
9983You''re a very odd girl-- why wo n''t you believe me?''
9983You''re near forty, eh, Nunkie?
9983You''re not ailing, Nunkie, are you?
9983You''ve been hurt in the foot, eh?
9983Your other client is not ill-- nothing sad about Mark Wylder, I hope?''
9983_ Do_ you promise?''
9983_ How''s_ this?''
9983_ I_''m not half good enough for such company-- and the place is growing rather cold-- is not it?''
9983_ Mark_?''
9983_ Wo n''t_ you believe me, darling?''
9983a message, or business?''
9983an answer, is there?''
9983an expensive house--_where_ was this, now?''
9983and Wylder''s confusion about Captain Lake-- what was that?
9983and can take my turn at the wheel-- eh?''
9983and have no grounds for ill- will-- eh?''
9983asked the good vicar, with a very anxious smile,''and you think him better, dear Miss Lake, do n''t you?''
9983bless you, dear Miss Radie, where should I find a story?
9983did I say?
9983did they?
9983did you?''
9983five- and- thirty, years since then?''
9983had he crossed him yesterday by the down- train, and was he by this time closeted with Larkin in the Lodge?
9983he answered quietly,''why on earth should you think so?''
9983here?''
9983how can I help it now?''
9983how is your sister, Captain Lake, have you seen her to- day?''
9983is it you?''
9983is not it sad?''
9983is that Fairy?
9983retiring; and what does he propose doing then?''
9983something in the elbow?
9983something in the general character?
9983there-- I say-- a passenger for the"White House?"''
9983was it suspicion?
9983what are you now?''
9983what do you say-- eh?''
9983what was_ it_?
9983when did you come?''
9983who are_ they?_''said the attorney, and his dove''s eyes were gone again, and the rat''s eyes unequivocally looking out of the small pink lids.
9983why does he wait for you there?
9983why has he sent you here?
9983why, why, why did you ever come?''
9983you have?
9983you know, what was to be said?
9983you''re a heroine, Radie; and why the devil,''he continued, in a changed tone,''do you apply those insolent terms to what I purpose doing?''
53263''''Ave yer?'' 53263 ''''Ow can that be, sir?
53263''A Frenchman?'' 53263 ''A twist?''
53263''Absolutely no one?'' 53263 ''After they left you did you leave your office?''
53263''Ah, Sophy,''he said,''what do you want?'' 53263 ''Ah,''said reporter, somewhat mystified,''then you came down and went to bed?''
53263''Ah; and that is how you got to know him?'' 53263 ''Ai n''t I flesh and blood the same as she is?''
53263''Ai n''t it excusable, sir,''observed Mrs. Middlemore, nervously,''when you think of the storm and the confusion we was in?'' 53263 ''Ai n''t my word enough?''
53263''Ai n''t we proud?'' 53263 ''And all they have succeeded in doing is to make things uncomfortable for you?''
53263''And if it should happen,''said our reporter,''that you remember anything you have forgotten to tell me, you will come and let me know it?'' 53263 ''And that I did n''t''ear no noise?''
53263''And there is no inquiry in the police court relating to it?'' 53263 ''And they have not been here again?''
53263''And turned the key?'' 53263 ''And what do you make of me, Sophy?''
53263''And what is your charge against me?'' 53263 ''And you are going to tell it to me?''
53263''And you believed him?'' 53263 ''And you did so last night?''
53263''And you have told nobody but me, Sophy?'' 53263 ''And you sleep well?''
53263''And? 53263 ''Anything wrong?''
53263''Are you a sound sleeper yourself?'' 53263 ''Are you quite unknown here?''
53263''As a matter of fact, has she told you she heard nothing last night?'' 53263 ''As to his visitors, now, were they mostly ladies or gentlemen?''
53263''At what hour did you wake this morning?'' 53263 ''Because you were frightened?''
53263''Before or after you paid your last visit to these rooms?'' 53263 ''Before you discovered that the entry had been tampered with?''
53263''But he did not make his appearance immediately?'' 53263 ''But she does n''t beg?''
53263''But surely you are not entirely alone?'' 53263 ''But they will let me go until to- morrow?''
53263''But what has she gone for?'' 53263 ''But what is the meaning of it, Sophy?''
53263''But you will try-- you will try?'' 53263 ''By whom?''
53263''Can I write them here?'' 53263 ''Can they upon suspicion?''
53263''Can you give it to me?'' 53263 ''Can you identify the pattern?''
53263''Can you manage without a plate?'' 53263 ''Can you tell me the name of the police station?''
53263''Christian name?'' 53263 ''Could he the day before yesterday have erased a name from the register book and written another name above it?''
53263''Did I what, sir?'' 53263 ''Did M. Felix keep this dagger always in his desk?''
53263''Did Sophy?'' 53263 ''Did anybody call while you were so employed?''
53263''Did he inquire for any one?'' 53263 ''Did n''t I say the slut was telling us a parcel of lies?''
53263''Did she come into this room with you?'' 53263 ''Did she say for whom she required the clothes?''
53263''Did you at any time inform her that the book had been tampered with?'' 53263 ''Did you both go to bed at the same time?''
53263''Did you choose the Oxford Street route at haphazard?'' 53263 ''Did you expostulate with him?''
53263''Did you hear the sound of wheels moving away after the door was secured?'' 53263 ''Did you inform Constable Nightingale that the man ran away in the direction of Oxford Street?''
53263''Did you meet any person on the road?'' 53263 ''Did you not hear her say,''said our reporter,''that she was alone, and no baby with her?''
53263''Did you not know it was here?'' 53263 ''Did you put it up before you went down to your bedroom?''
53263''Did you say nice things of me?'' 53263 ''Did you see it on the last occasion you saw the desk open, a few hours before M. Felix''s death?''
53263''Did you see no one at all?'' 53263 ''Did you sleep better or worse than usual last night?''
53263''Did you tell Nightingale that the man had fled in the direction of Oxford Street?'' 53263 ''Did you tell him to wait in the kitchen, or the parlor, or in any particular room?''
53263''Did you tell him you would feel lonely without a companion occasionally?'' 53263 ''Did you tell me that I should be searched at the station, or is it only my fear?''
53263''Did you tell your master of the gentleman''s visit when he returned?'' 53263 ''Did you wake up in the night?''
53263''Do n''t that show I can keep a secret?'' 53263 ''Do n''t they smell prime?''
53263''Do the police know?'' 53263 ''Do yer like''em?''
53263''Do you know where we are?'' 53263 ''Do you persist in your charges against her?''
53263''Does n''t your aunt give you enough?'' 53263 ''Does she frequent theatres?''
53263''Does she not say in her letter that it will not be till the afternoon?'' 53263 ''Does she?''
53263''Dreams?'' 53263 ''Father?''
53263''Fire not lit yet, Sophy?'' 53263 ''For how long was the gentleman left alone in the office?''
53263''Good- evening, sir,''said Mrs. Middlemore,''Sophy,''ave you shut the street door tight?'' 53263 ''Hallo, old''un,''said the girl,''it''s you, is it?''
53263''Has she a mother?'' 53263 ''Have any of them been here to see his body?''
53263''Have you any other friends in London in whom you would confide in preference to me? 53263 ''Have you any suspicion, Mrs. Middlemore, who at this present moment has possession of the desk and the dagger?''
53263''Have you examined the entry of the marriage between Emilia Braham and Gerald Paget?'' 53263 ''Have you had enough?''
53263''He did not come the moment you raised your voice?'' 53263 ''He had visitors occasionally, I suppose?''
53263''He knew M. Felix, probably?'' 53263 ''He spoke the English language well?''
53263''He was not generally of an excitable temperament?'' 53263 ''He_ was_ a foreigner, I suppose?''
53263''How about last light? 53263 ''How about myself, Mrs. Middlemore?
53263''How did you become aware of that? 53263 ''How did you take me in, Sophy?''
53263''How do we account, then, for there being more than one man concerned in this singular robbery?'' 53263 ''How do you know that?''
53263''How long were you engaged upon your search for the man?'' 53263 ''How many times did you call?''
53263''How_ can_ I say, sir?'' 53263 ''I done it all right, did n''t I?''
53263''I must''ave done, must n''t I, sir?'' 53263 ''I presume there was nothing in the desk that attracted your attention besides the papers?''
53263''I say,''cried Sophy, as our reporter was about to leave the kitchen,''you''ll take my pickcher, wo n''t you?'' 53263 ''I say,''said Sophy,''ai n''t yer going to''ave some fried fish?
53263''I told yer I did n''t wake up last night, did n''t I?'' 53263 ''I''m a honest woman, sir,''said Mrs. Middlemore, looking imploringly at our reporter;''you''ll put in a good word for me?''
53263''I''m not likely to forget''i m,''said Mrs. Middlemore, and then added, in an excited tone,''do you think it was''i m as took it?'' 53263 ''If I give you five shillings, Sophy, can you take care of it?''
53263''If I let you go out for a walk, will you come back in arf an hour?'' 53263 ''If we say two minutes we shall be within the mark?''
53263''If you saw him again you could swear to him?'' 53263 ''In a manner of speaking, then, he led a secret life?''
53263''In heaven''s name, what for?'' 53263 ''In point of fact, you did not lose sight of him during the whole of the visit?''
53263''In point of fact, you did not see the man come out of the house?'' 53263 ''In the same bed, most likely?''
53263''In what way do you suppose it concerns me?'' 53263 ''Is Mrs. Middlemore in?''
53263''Is he an old friend of yours?'' 53263 ''Is it Constable Nightingale you are speaking of?''
53263''Is it possible to fix that?'' 53263 ''Is n''t that rather late for you?''
53263''Is she?'' 53263 ''Is that all you know, Sophy?''
53263''Is that all?'' 53263 ''Is that the gentleman?''
53263''Is that you, aunt?'' 53263 ''It was, was it not?''
53263''It will be dark for a moment, Sophy,''he said;''you are not frightened, I hope?'' 53263 ''Lest you should see them too closely?''
53263''Looking as if he did not wish to attract notice?'' 53263 ''Many times?''
53263''May we say an hour?'' 53263 ''Meaning that she do n''t sleep much?''
53263''My good creature,''he said,''what is the use of crying for the police? 53263 ''Neither can you say, I suppose, whether M. Felix set any particular store upon them?''
53263''No gammon, yer know?'' 53263 ''Nor steal?''
53263''Not even for a moment?'' 53263 ''Not one who can assist you?''
53263''Nothing has been found out?'' 53263 ''Now, Mrs. Middlemore, can you inform me whether those papers you saw in the missing desk were private papers?''
53263''Now, Sophy,''he said,''are you ready to tell me all you know?'' 53263 ''Of course I am, sir, but what could''ave been''is objec''--''Oh, what could''ave been''is objec''?''
53263''Of her? 53263 ''Oh, it was you, was it?''
53263''Only the police?'' 53263 ''Or a Russian?''
53263''Or a Spaniard?'' 53263 ''Or an Italian?''
53263''Or moved? 53263 ''Ow did he git in?"
53263''Shall we say that two or three minutes elapsed before he joined you?'' 53263 ''Should I be detained,''said the woman,''you will go to my daughter and assure her I am in no danger?''
53263''So that poor Sophy has to look after herself?'' 53263 ''So that, after all, he might have been an Englishman?''
53263''Sophy had some with you?'' 53263 ''Surely he must have made some remark, to the effect that he_ was_ your friend, or words bearing the same meaning?''
53263''Surely,''he said, lamely parrying,''you do not question my honesty in the matter?'' 53263 ''That is more than either you or I can say, any more than we can say how it got out of this room; but out of it it has got, has n''t it?''
53263''That is, you went to the right?'' 53263 ''The loss or recovery of which would injure no one?''
53263''The name, Gerald Paget, as it now appears, has been recently written?'' 53263 ''The police could scarcely take it away without your knowledge?''
53263''The probability, however, is that it had gone when the door was forced open?'' 53263 ''Then he could not have made the erasure or have written the name over it?''
53263''Then she can not corroborate your statement that the body of M. Felix was here before you went to bed?'' 53263 ''Then there''s stooed eels?''
53263''Then you are not well acquainted with London?'' 53263 ''Then you do n''t know if there was a cab or a cart waiting at the door?''
53263''Then you heard no noise?'' 53263 ''Then you went in to him?''
53263''Then, when you went downstairs, you and Sophy went to bed?'' 53263 ''There is an undoubted erasure of the signature of the bridegroom?''
53263''There,''said Sophy,''did I scream when I came to O?'' 53263 ''To let her off, sir?''
53263''To which no person but yourself has a claim?'' 53263 ''Was he carrying anything?''
53263''Was it a suit for a large or a small man?'' 53263 ''Was it property of your own?''
53263''Was the desk here then?'' 53263 ''Was the door locked and the chain up the first thing this morning?''
53263''Was the office in which the official books are kept open?'' 53263 ''Was there any possibility of the signature being tampered with while you were by?''
53263''Well?'' 53263 ''Well?''
53263''Well?'' 53263 ''Were M. Bordier and his son the only visitors you received on that day who wished to verify an entry in the register book?''
53263''What am I to do with this?'' 53263 ''What am I?''
53263''What are you attending him for?'' 53263 ''What are you looking in there for?''
53263''What are you looking so hard at me for?'' 53263 ''What better are you off for it?
53263''What did Constable Nightingale say when you made that remark to him?'' 53263 ''What did he say to that?''
53263''What did she pay for the suit?'' 53263 ''What did you do while he waited?''
53263''What do I mean?'' 53263 ''What do you mean by that?''
53263''What do you think will happen to her if I do what I propose?'' 53263 ''What does he want?''
53263''What else can you believe?'' 53263 ''What for, sir?''
53263''What have they done already for you?'' 53263 ''What induced you to take it?''
53263''What is it you desire so particularly, Sophy? 53263 ''What is it you want me to do?''
53263''What is the matter?'' 53263 ''What kind of desk?''
53263''What need is there to summon assistance?'' 53263 ''What paper, sir?''
53263''What should you judge her age to have been?'' 53263 ''What sort''s that, sir?''
53263''What was in the bundle?'' 53263 ''What was its nature?''
53263''What was the''uzzy doing in the streets?'' 53263 ''What ways do you refer to?''
53263''What will your aunt say?'' 53263 ''What''ave they said of me?
53263''When I appear before the magistrate, will you be there?'' 53263 ''When M. Felix had visitors, was this desk ever allowed to lie carelessly about?''
53263''When you made the discovery of the erasure, did you ask Jane Seebold if anyone had called in your absence?'' 53263 ''Where do you live?''
53263''Where does she live?'' 53263 ''Where is the paper?''
53263''Where was he?'' 53263 ''Where, sir?''
53263''Where?'' 53263 ''Who has gone?
53263''Who was in charge of the premises while you were away?'' 53263 ''Who''s that, Sophy?''
53263''Who? 53263 ''Why did n''t you?''
53263''Why not to the left?'' 53263 ''Why?''
53263''Will you eat your supper outside or in, Sophy?'' 53263 ''Will you not require you handkerchief?''
53263''Will you promise not to stop out longer than an hour?'' 53263 ''Will you tell them what it was you threw into the river?''
53263''Will you''ave a glass, sir?'' 53263 ''Without your knowledge?''
53263''Would a pair of those fit you?'' 53263 ''Would n''t I?
53263''Would n''t I? 53263 ''Yes, I understand that, sir, but how came they here?''
53263''Yes, sir, only the police?'' 53263 ''You and your aunt are friends now, are you not?''
53263''You are an oculist?'' 53263 ''You are the only friend the girl has, it seems?''
53263''You arksed''er that?'' 53263 ''You both explained it together?''
53263''You both sleep in the same room?'' 53263 ''You could not swear it was not here?''
53263''You did not go into the rooms?'' 53263 ''You do not accuse him?''
53263''You explained to him what had occurred?'' 53263 ''You have given evidence in many celebrated cases?''
53263''You have not deceived me?'' 53263 ''You jumped at the conclusion that the gentlemen you accuse must be guilty?''
53263''You like your bed, Sophy?'' 53263 ''You must excuse my asking,''said the Inspector,''how you come to know it was her property?''
53263''You positively heard nothing?'' 53263 ''You saw him, then?''
53263''You saw it with your own eyes?'' 53263 ''You slept very soundly?''
53263''You went upstairs last night with your aunt after you had your supper?'' 53263 ''You were not in any way disturbed in the night?''
53263''You were speaking of what took place last night?'' 53263 ''You will not wait till morning?
53263''You would know him again if you saw him?'' 53263 ''You would like some?''
53263''You would like to be an actress, Sophy?'' 53263 ''You''ll go along with me, sir?''
53263''You''re going to stand treat, ai n''t yer?'' 53263 ''Your name?''
53263''Your name?'' 53263 A man?"
53263A married man, then''with a large family?
53263A strange- looking man, with a red''andkercher round''is neck?
53263Adopting your theory,I said,"that M. Felix is living, do you think that he and Dr. Peterssen have met?"
53263Again Mrs. Middlemore moaned,''What else could I do, sir? 53263 Ai n''t there nobody else in the''ouse?"
53263Ai n''t_ you_ sure?
53263Am I included in this sweeping condemnation?
53263Am I not a merciful jailer? 53263 And Gerald?"
53263And brought her box down?
53263And friendless?
53263And if he does not?
53263And that he did not go out before you come back?
53263And the two men riding on the hay?
53263And who''s Mr. Felix when he''s at home?
53263And yer''ll do as yer ordered?
53263And you never mentioned it, mamma-- never even whispered it?
53263And you will explain everything to her?
53263And you will never think it again?
53263And you will tell her I love her more devotedly than ever?
53263Any objection to say what it is?
53263Are you alone?
53263Are you angry with me, Emilia?
53263Are you aware that we have received a visit from a lady well known in the town?
53263Are you going for a walk?
53263Are you going to see the ladies who live here, madam?
53263Are you mad?
53263Are you quite alone?
53263Are you sure, Sophy?
53263Are you sure? 53263 Are you warm enough, mamma?"
53263At noon?
53263Because you are poor?
53263Before what''s discovered?
53263Between friends? 53263 But I say,"remarked Sophy,"ai n''t yer got nothink to give me to do for yer?"
53263But he left a message for me?
53263But if it should not?
53263But there was more than one?
53263But they are really my own?
53263But what about?
53263But what am I to do about the''ouse?
53263But what are you going to do now?
53263But what have I done to merit such goodness? 53263 But where has she gone?
53263But why do you go away again?
53263But why do you not go first?
53263But why not? 53263 But why to your lawyers?
53263But why, Sophy?
53263But will you be able to carry it out?
53263By that time,said Leonard, in a questioning tone,"they are dead?"
53263Can I do anything more for you?
53263Can I help you?
53263Can I?
53263Can anyone do it but him?
53263Can anyone show me the short cut?
53263Can it be true?
53263Can you ask me such a question, Emilia?
53263Can you tell me which direction he took?
53263Can you utter such a heresy-- you, the soul of truth and honesty? 53263 Character?"
53263Children?
53263Christian name?
53263Could not the agitation you observed in my face spring from some other cause than love or hate?
53263Dear friend,she said, pressing my hand,"how can I thank you?"
53263Declared and accepted?
53263Did I?
53263Did M. Bordier make no reference to a trial in which he had been involved?
53263Did he say where he was going?
53263Did n''t yer promise yer''d give me somethink to do for yer-- and did n''t yer say jest now it depends upon whether I''ve got the pluck to do it? 53263 Did no woman come to do the cleaning or cooking?"
53263Did you describe Dr. Peterssen''s appearance to him?
53263Did you describe the third?
53263Did you ever hear anything like it?
53263Did you find it?
53263Did you have your meals alone?
53263Did you hear what they said?
53263Did you see any of the other patients?
53263Do I believe that she paid a visit to M. Felix on the night of his death, disguised in man''s clothes? 53263 Do it?
53263Do many people go there upon business?
53263Do n''t yer see who it is?
53263Do you also hear and see it, Sophy?
53263Do you argue that he simulated death in the first instance for the purpose of carrying out some plan?
53263Do you ever go up to his room without being summoned?
53263Do you hear Leonard singing?
53263Do you know of any girl or woman who would take your place here while you are away for a week or two?
53263Do you mean to tell me you did n''t see a cat, and that the cat you sor was n''t red?
53263Do you not wish to know how he is?
53263Do you see, Mrs. Middlemore? 53263 Do you think I should be living in such seclusion as this if it were not the truth?"
53263Do you think there lives in the world a man who has a more sincere respect and esteem for you than I have?
53263Do you think you could play a part?
53263Do you think,she whispered, with a pause between each word,"that you could let me kiss our dear child without awaking her?"
53263Does he ever ring for you in the middle of the night-- at such a time as this, for instance?
53263Does he give you no information of what he has done and is about to do?
53263Does he live in London?
53263Does he not declare his innocence?
53263Does he take it at the beershops?
53263Does it not you?
53263Does it, then, depend upon me?
53263Does this Mr. Felix live there regularly?
53263Does this strike you as guilty or not guilty?
53263Emilia, why did you not reply to my letter?
53263Emilia, will you listen to me?
53263English? 53263 For what object, then, was this visit paid?
53263For what purpose?
53263For what purpose?
53263For what, Bob?
53263Going to take it up?
53263Has anything took place?
53263Has he ever been took ill in the night, and rung you up?
53263Has the establishment a name?
53263Have I hurt you?'' 53263 Have they been ill- treating her?
53263Have you a thousand a- year?
53263Have you any idea what can have become of his body?
53263Have you any objection to my saying what is in my mind?
53263Have you been out before?
53263Have you considered the difference in our position?
53263Have you no pity?
53263Have you nothing to say to me?
53263Have you read of no trial in which his name appears?
53263Have you reflected upon my offer?
53263Have you two gentlemen come on business?
53263He is dead?
53263He is really mad?
53263He is still alive, then? 53263 He pays you regularly?"
53263His son is with him?
53263How can I blame you, Len-- you, the truest friend that a man ever had? 53263 How can I say?
53263How can I tell you that?
53263How can I thank you?
53263How could I, when I never saw him?
53263How could I? 53263 How dare you, how dare you?
53263How did it end?
53263How did it happen? 53263 How did you find out he was a gentleman?"
53263How do you know that?
53263How do you know,I inquired,"that these men were travelling in company?"
53263How else should I sign it?
53263How far do the woods extend?
53263How far off?
53263How is he?
53263How is that to be done?
53263How long do you expect to be away?
53263How long shall we have to wait?
53263How many in all?
53263How many servants are there in it?
53263How old is this poor gentleman, Bob?
53263How so?
53263How? 53263 How?"
53263I beg your pardon,said Mr. Nettlefold,"did you speak?"
53263I did n''t take_ you_ in, did I?
53263I do n''t see it,grumbled Constable Nightingale;"where''s the wine?"
53263I want to know who that gentleman is who went into the house you have just left?
53263I''m ready this minute Where to?
53263If there is any truth in it, my girl, it is more than enough? 53263 If you happen to see this desk in the possession of the man whom I look upon as my enemy, do you think you could identify it?"
53263In England?
53263In Heaven''s name,exclaimed Bob,"what is the matter with you?"
53263In trouble, my lass?
53263In what affair?
53263Is Dr. Peterssen always at home?
53263Is anyone admitted to the house?
53263Is it a breach of confidence for me to ask from what part of the country M. Bordier has written to you?
53263Is it a large house, Bob?
53263Is it about Julian Bordier, dear?
53263Is it night now?
53263Is it not strange,asked the lady,"that Mr. Paget has not called to inquire after her?"
53263Is it not to this place that the young person was taken who was found in Mr. Gerald Paget''s house last night?
53263Is it over?
53263Is it possible that Dr. Peterssen can have taken it away?
53263Is it right, is it just, that the elder should depend upon the younger?
53263Is it your intention,he asked,"to come back to England?"
53263Is she ill?
53263Is she not beautiful?
53263Is she well?
53263Is that a fit condition in which to set about a task so delicate? 53263 Is that all, Sophy?"
53263Is that what you call a nightmare?
53263Is that you, Nightingale?
53263Is that you, Wigg?
53263Is the village of Glasserton at a great distance from here?
53263Is there a man in the moon?
53263Is there any person in the village who will purchase this of me?
53263Is there hope, doctor?
53263Is there?
53263It has-- but what are you driving at?
53263It is perfectly correct, is it not?
53263Know it again? 53263 Know this portrait?"
53263Leonard, with your worldly wisdom, can you suggest any plan by which Emilia''s mind could be restored to her?
53263Love your heart,said Mrs. Middlemore,"what does that matter?
53263M. Bordier:''May I say a word?'' 53263 Male or female?"
53263May I fill in for a thou----? 53263 May I make a suggestion, dear boy?"
53263Might bring him into trouble?
53263More patients?
53263Mr. Felix did n''t call us in, and there''s no one else in the house while you''ve gone for your supper- beer?
53263Mr. Lawson:''Is it necessary, your worship, for me to address you?'' 53263 Mr. Lawson:''Was the desk locked?''
53263Mr. Lawson:''You are an expert in handwriting?'' 53263 Mrs. Middlemore waited till she heard the street- door slam, and then said,"''Did you ever see the likes of her?''
53263Much amused, our reporter asked,''What do you charge her with?'' 53263 Must you go out to night, mamma?"
53263My father?
53263No father or mother?
53263No friends?
53263No more visitors in disguise; no more false summonses to the police court?
53263No one has come for me?
53263No one sees him?
53263Nor family-- parents, I mean, brothers and sisters?
53263Nor of any discovery that has been made?
53263Nor when he would return?
53263Nothing more?
53263Nothing, except----"Except what?
53263Now for Mrs. Middlemore:''When the man rushed by you from the house, you screamed loudly for the police?''
53263Now, Bob,said I,"what do you think of her story?"
53263Oh, dear, oh, dear,moaned Mrs. Middlemore,"we shall all be murdered in our beds?"
53263Oh, you did n''t go to bed when I put you in your room?
53263Oh, you''re going to cry off, are you? 53263 On the following day?"
53263On the last day I saw my dear husband-- What is the meaning of that gesture?
53263On the stage?
53263Ought n''t that to rouse him?
53263Our reporter wrote the words in his pocketbook, and asked,''Can you tell me how he was dressed?'' 53263 Out, madam?"
53263Portable?
53263Property?
53263Quite correct, Mr. Nightingale; but what are you driving at?
53263Ready?
53263Remember Eden?
53263Saw what?
53263Seen whom?
53263Shall I say good- by to you now or then?
53263Shall we say, a lady? 53263 She is poor, then?"
53263Should n''t it be Monseer?
53263Sophy put her tongue in her cheek, and whispering,''Ai n''t she a treat?'' 53263 Sophy,"I said, rising in my excitement,"are you mad?
53263Sophy,I said,"are you ill?"
53263Sophy,I said,"are you strong enough to come with me?
53263Street''s father-- does he not come to see his son?
53263Suppose no stones at all are thrown, Bob?
53263Surely,he said,"you have no notion of marrying her while she remains as she is?"
53263Tell me, is there hope?
53263Tell me,she said,"In what special manner are you interested in Miss Braham?"
53263Tell the time?
53263That''s something good, ai n''t it?
53263That''s somethink yer must be in bed to''ave, ai n''t it?
53263The Judge:''Bearing upon this case?'' 53263 The Judge:''Is the man known?
53263The Judge:''The prisoner appears to be ill. Is there a doctor in court?'' 53263 The Judge:''Upon what grounds have you arrived at your verdict?''
53263The disease?
53263Then I may make my suggestion?
53263Then you deceived me by professing what you did not feel?
53263Then you have no objection to the engagement?
53263Tired, Sophy?
53263To do what? 53263 To think,"he said bitterly,"that that fool should have had the desk in his possession all these years, and never discovered it?
53263To wait here?
53263To what do you refer?
53263Touching, is n''t it?
53263Was it after or before the shot?
53263Was it not out of love that you have stayed with me?
53263Was it right, mother?
53263Was no effort made, Sophy, to bring his memory back to him?
53263We shall see them, I suppose, before we come on them?
53263We''re tiled in, Bob?
53263Well, Bob?
53263Well, Bob?
53263Well, friend of my heart?
53263Well, old man?
53263Well?
53263Were they riding in a carriage?
53263Were they riding or walking?
53263What am I to do now?
53263What are yer whispering about, Sophy?
53263What are you going to do?
53263What brings you here, Peterssen?
53263What business?
53263What can I do for you?
53263What cry for help?
53263What did I tell you?
53263What did Mr. Nightingale mean,asked Mrs. Middlemore,"when he said never go back on a pal?"
53263What did you do, Sophy?
53263What do you advise me to do?
53263What do you advise, Nightingale? 53263 What do you mean?"
53263What do you propose, Nightingale?
53263What do you say, Gerald?
53263What do you think of that?
53263What do you want?
53263What do you want?
53263What does it all mean?
53263What fixed point, Bob, did I, in common with everyone else, start from in wild directions?
53263What for?
53263What has that to do with me?
53263What have you done?
53263What have you to say to me?
53263What horrid creature, my dear?
53263What if I have?
53263What if I set afoot an inquiry which would prove that to be not the truth?
53263What if I told you that it was pretty well squandered, and there was but little left?
53263What is Emilia doing now?
53263What is his name?
53263What is it you want with me? 53263 What is it?"
53263What is the man who was walking like?
53263What is the name of the gentleman patient, Sophy?
53263What is the time?
53263What is the use? 53263 What is the young lady''s income?"
53263What is your idea?
53263What kind of fancies?
53263What kind of information do you desire?
53263What kind of services?
53263What letter?
53263What made us cry out?
53263What made you do that, Sophy?
53263What mischief will he be up to?
53263What noise is that?
53263What of that?
53263What on earth am I to do without''er?
53263What on earth made me beard the lioness in her den? 53263 What reason has he to tell lies?"
53263What the mischief do you want? 53263 What things in a newspaper do you like best, Sophy?"
53263What time is it, Len?
53263What was in it? 53263 What was in that cupboard,"asked Mrs. Middlemore,"that your mother told you there was a ghost in?"
53263What was the conveyance?
53263What will become of me-- oh, what will become of me?
53263What would I do if you defy me?
53263What would the force be worth if we did n''t stick together? 53263 What would you do if I defy you?"
53263What''s become of the''orrid creature?
53263What''s that you say, Nightingale?
53263What''s that?
53263What''s the matter?
53263What?
53263When did the trial commence?
53263When did you come here?
53263When did you have your last meal, Sophy?
53263When do you go away?
53263When do you leave?
53263When he came out of the house did he have a parcel with him?
53263When?
53263Where are you going?
53263Where do you wish to go?
53263Where is that?
53263Where is this private madhouse, Bob?
53263Where is your home?
53263Where my Emilia is?
53263Where now, Gerald?
53263Where was that man, and what motive had he for not coming forward?
53263Where was the young lady taken to?
53263Where''s it gone to?
53263Which is Emilia?
53263Who are you, may I inquire?
53263Who are you? 53263 Who could be sure of anything,"remarked Constable Nightingale, charitably,"on such a night?"
53263Who gave you the information?
53263Who is the lady and what has her visit to do with Miss Braham?
53263Who set you on?
53263Who takes care of Tylney House in his absence?
53263Who was the young lady?
53263Who''s downstairs?
53263Who, Sophy? 53263 Who?"
53263Why do you cry for help?
53263Why not?
53263Why not?
53263Why should I not answer you? 53263 Why should I speak at all?
53263Why should I? 53263 Why should he wish to obtain possession of such things?"
53263Why should you say so?
53263Why so fast?
53263Why, what on earth are you doing, Sophy?
53263Why? 53263 Why?"
53263Will it take you long to ascertain how it is proceeding?
53263Will it?
53263Will you assist me down?
53263Will you be seated?
53263Will you not call me Gerald? 53263 Will you sell me two bunches of your violets?"
53263Word to be depended upon?
53263Would n''t mind expending money to bring matter to a satisfactory conclusion?
53263Would you like to be free to speak?
53263Would you like to come into the open air?
53263Write?
53263Yer do n''t mean to say I''m to have the ticker?
53263You are not happy with her?
53263You are not sorry, mamma, are you?
53263You are rich?
53263You are still resolved not to accept my offer?
53263You are sure of it?
53263You are sure you will not be afraid, Sophy?
53263You believe he is speaking the truth, Bob?
53263You do n''t say so?
53263You do not propose that we should leave this spot at once?
53263You do not remember it?
53263You had the run of Dr. Peterssen''s house, Sophy?
53263You have been making inquiries of me?
53263You have brought me news?
53263You have really no fears for her, Bob?
53263You hear, Jane? 53263 You heard him speak, Sophy?"
53263You heard what I said, did you not?
53263You mean what have_ we_ done?
53263You remember the day on which your aunt was sent to Bow Street Police Court by a man whom she left in the house alone?
53263You said there were children, Bob?
53263You spoke of Sophy?
53263You think it right that they should see us?
53263You understand what I am saying to you, Emilia?
53263You were not ill- treated?
53263You will be here to- morrow?
53263You will come back to me, Gerald?
53263You will find out where she is?
53263You will not be angry, mamma?
53263You will not cry for help? 53263 You will not go away, Sophy?
53263You will not mind being left a good deal alone, dear?
53263You will not shout?
53263You will not think it treason; you will not blame me for importing a little common- sense into our sad position?
53263You will not turn me away without allowing me to see her?
53263You would n''t mind assisting me?
53263You''ll do it, then?
53263You''re better now, ai n''t you?
53263You''ve not heard of any cruelties being practised there?
53263Your movements, then, do not depend entirely upon yourself? 53263 ''''Ave they found Mr. Felix''s body?'' 53263 ''Are you certain she was one?'' 53263 ''Ave you?'' 53263 ''Constable,''said he to me, when I came on this beat last year,''you''re on night duty here, eh?'' 53263 ''Did Mr. Felix send for me?'' 53263 ''Do you mean to tell me,''''I said,''as excited as herself,''that you''ve brought the desk?'' 53263 ''Do you think a dead man''d be able to get up and put''isself on one of the shelves?'' 53263 ''Does n''t she? 53263 ''Hallo,''he said,''what brings you here?'' 53263 ''Has the dead returned to life? 53263 ''How came these here? 53263 ''How did you find out that?'' 53263 ''How much for that?'' 53263 ''I hope they''re a good fit?'' 53263 ''I may have a few private words with her, I suppose, out of hearing of the officers present?'' 53263 ''I suppose,''says I to her,''there''s somebody with Mr. Felix as he wants to get rid of, and as wo n''t go?'' 53263 ''Is that my poor son?'' 53263 ''Is that the young girl who was taken to Dr. Peterssen''s establishment as a patient?'' 53263 ''Is this suit you have left the only one of the same pattern you have in your establishment?'' 53263 ''Married?'' 53263 ''My mother is in no danger?'' 53263 ''Name?'' 53263 ''Ow could I?'' 53263 ''Ow long for, aunty?'' 53263 ''Ow shall I get in?'' 53263 ''Ow shall I get in?'' 53263 ''Ow should I know that a tall, thin man, with a long face and thick black eyebrows, was the feller as took yer in?'' 53263 ''Shall I be released to- day?'' 53263 ''Shall I see you again soon?'' 53263 ''Shall I see you agin?'' 53263 ''Too damp, eh?'' 53263 ''What am I to do with her? 53263 ''What do yer mean by being outside instead of in?'' 53263 ''What do you think of it?'' 53263 ''What else could I do, sir, what else could I do? 53263 ''What will become of her-- oh, what will become of her?'' 53263 ''Why did n''t you? 53263 ''Will you tell them''( the policemen)''what it was you threw into the river?'' 53263 ''Your niece, Sophy, came up with you, I understand?'' 53263 A copy of a marriage certificate, was it not?
53263A likely thing, is n''t it, that I should wish to get rid of my poor patient, when by doing so I lose a sure income?
53263A man, of course?
53263A much- injured lady?
53263A new frock?''
53263Agnold?''
53263Agnold?''
53263Agreed?"
53263Ah, Jane"--to the new servant who entered the room--"have you locked the door of the room which Miss Braham occupied?"
53263Ah, the little fingers, the childish prattle, the pattering of little feet, what would the world be without them?
53263Ah, what?
53263Ai n''t I busy?''"
53263Ai n''t it enough?"
53263All the clothing you sell is marked with your name, is it not?''
53263All very beautifully arranged, is it not, sweet child?"
53263Am I awake or dreaming?''
53263And after all the nice things you said of her this morning, sir?''
53263And how can you talk of losing your child?
53263And now I come to think of it, what made the pair of you cry out as you did?"
53263And now see what people are saying of me?
53263And now what do you make of me?''
53263And now, Sophy,"I said, turning to the girl,"what is this scare of yours which has taken all the blood out of your face?"
53263And why did you write to me?
53263And you are English also?"
53263Any better, Sophy?"
53263Anything else Sophy?''
53263Anything more I can do for you?"
53263Anything up?"
53263Anything wrong about him?"
53263Anything?''
53263Anythink about M. Felix, do you mean?''
53263Anyway, the two doors were closed?''
53263Are there any charred marks upon the floor of the room where his body lay?
53263Are there other lodgers in this house?"
53263Are we going to the house?"
53263Are we near the house?"
53263Are you a confederate of hers?''
53263Are you attending to me?
53263Are you going to charge this lady?''
53263Are you not surprised, mamma?"
53263Are you positive it is his portrait?"
53263Are you quite calm?"
53263Are you quite devoid of imagination?
53263Are you ready to take the journey?
53263Are you satisfied now that you have been imposed upon, and that the man who visited you came upon a bogus errand?''
53263Are you sure you will be able to get a bed?"
53263Because why?
53263Before he did so, however, I said to Sophy:"Can you forgive me, my dear, for bringing this upon you?"
53263Before you came up to these rooms, you had your supper?''
53263Before you put up the chain, did you look out into the street?''
53263Besides, what good could we do?
53263Besides, who would be likely to want us?
53263Besides, who''s to know?"
53263Bordier,''I said, will you allow me to read the document?''
53263Bordier?"
53263Bordier?''
53263Burgulers?"
53263But I will not rest till the truth is made clear to me-- not with your help, but with the help of"----"Of whom?"
53263But do n''t you want to hear about Sophy?"
53263But how about the kernel?
53263But how did you get in?"
53263But how long would it last?
53263But my letter?
53263But they can not punish me if I have done nothing wrong?''
53263But what brings you again to London so unexpectedly, dear friend?"
53263But what did he do it for?"
53263But what does it matter if Emilia loves me?"
53263But where''s the friend?''
53263But who could he be?
53263But you wo n''t mind me mentioning it?"
53263But"--with sudden suspicion--"why should he be so free?
53263But''ow am I to git to the man?"
53263But, at all events, he ai n''t the sort of man to go out in such a storm as this?"
53263By the by, the friends you were entertaining?
53263By what?
53263Can I ever be sufficiently grateful to you?
53263Can I go to her?"
53263Can he be found?''
53263Can he find a capable man who, for a consideration, will take charge of the young man and devote himself to him?
53263Can it be real?
53263Can you keep a secret?''
53263Can you not see there was nothing else to be done?"
53263Can you not trust me, Emilia?"
53263Can you not trust me?"
53263Can you read?"
53263Can you whistle?"
53263Christian name, Emilia?"
53263Could he not have waited till I recovered?
53263Could you make me up a bed?''
53263Crawley?''
53263Dared she be seen there?
53263Dared she go there?
53263Did M. Felix keep his papers in this desk?''
53263Did he seem to be searching for, or examining with more than usual interest, any special document?''
53263Did his son accompany him?"
53263Did n''t yer''ear it?"
53263Did n''t you hear the poor thing give a scream?''
53263Did not M. Bordier return to London yesterday?"
53263Did not tell you, did I, that I telegraphed to Peterssen from London yesterday afternoon?"
53263Did the rejection mean that she intended to fight for her rights?
53263Did the supposed M. Felix make a will?
53263Did you catch sight of his face?"
53263Did you ever post any of his letters?''
53263Did you ever try it?''
53263Did you go out for it last night?''
53263Did you go?"
53263Did you have the key?''
53263Did you hear the sound of many feet?''
53263Did you never hear of a poet''s license, Nightingale?"
53263Did you steal the desk?"
53263Did you, Wigg?"
53263Do I gather that we are friends, Sophy, no longer Maria?"
53263Do n''t you hear me?
53263Do n''t you hear us, sir?
53263Do n''t you wish you had the same complaint?
53263Do you accept?"
53263Do you agree to all this?"
53263Do you feel refreshed?"
53263Do you forget our pleasant partnership in Switzerland nineteen years ago?
53263Do you forget your brother Gerald?"
53263Do you go away to- morrow?"
53263Do you know if any of these last bank notes have been presented for payment?"
53263Do you know that I am about to lose a patient?"
53263Do you know the punishment for conspiracy?
53263Do you know the woman?''
53263Do you know what you are saying?"
53263Do you love your brother''s wife?"
53263Do you mean to tell me that you have any doubt on the subject?''
53263Do you not hear what it is whispering to me?
53263Do you not think you had better give me a few lines to her?''
53263Do you observe that the clothes are of a small size?
53263Do you remember we used to congratulate each other in Australia that we could read men''s faces and voices?
53263Do you see the drift of my plan now?"
53263Do you take all this in?
53263Do you think I have been blind to your goings on?
53263Do you think I would entrust it to another?"
53263Do you think my confession injudicious?
53263Do you twig?
53263Do you want to earn a ten- pound note, which might swell into fifty?
53263Do you want to see''er?''
53263Does it mean anything?
53263Does that indicate impatience merely, or that he can not trust me?
53263Dr. Peterssen, Crawley, and you?"
53263Dressed in each other''s clothes, who is to distinguish them?
53263Dying unmarried-- you understand?"
53263Eh, Sophy?''
53263Feel all right?"
53263Felix?"
53263Felix?"
53263Felix?''
53263Felix?''
53263Felix?''
53263First, there''s the night-- listen to it; it''s going on worse than ever-- ain''t that enough to startle one?
53263For what reason had he assumed that of a foreigner?
53263For what reason had he concealed his right name?
53263For what reason, and why, had M. Felix hidden himself from a man he knew so well?
53263From him she had received information of the blow which had dishonored her; could she touch his hand in friendship?
53263From what I can gather, Mrs. Middlemore, M. Felix had no family?''
53263Give me another, will you?
53263Go forth into the broad light of day, and be pointed at and publicly shamed?
53263Grand weapons in honorable warfare, but when is war honorable?
53263Had I any previous knowledge of them?
53263Had I any previous knowledge of you, he asked; were you related to me in any way?
53263Had I done wrong in sending him away without inquiring its nature?
53263Had he been alone he might have nerved himself to the desperate expedient, but in the presence of a witness----"Are you certain be lives?"
53263Had he been mistaken in believing that she loved him?
53263Had he gone to carry out his threat and to bring the police to his aid?
53263Had he offended her?
53263Had it been otherwise would he not have sought her long before this, would he not have been present to cast the malignant lie in Mrs. Seaton''s face?
53263Had it come to that?
53263Has any progress been made in it?''
53263Has he anything to do with this affair?"
53263Has he made a will?"
53263Has she come back?"
53263Has the trial taken place?"
53263Has your dust bin been emptied this week?''
53263Have I come too late?
53263Have I not one friend in all the wide world?''
53263Have I put it too strongly in saying that her presence here is a disgrace?"
53263Have they assisted you in any way in this mysterious affair?''
53263Have they caught the murderer?
53263Have you a reason for doing so?''
53263Have you any objections?"
53263Have you any questions to ask me?
53263Have you anything to say?"
53263Have you anything to suggest?"
53263Have you forgotten the man with a red handkerchief round his neck who escaped from the house on the night of the eventful discovery?''
53263Have you got any doubt at all that the brass plate there could n''t be fixed as it is unless somebody was inside the room?"
53263Have you got any red ochre in the house, ma''am?"
53263Have you not promised to be guided by me?''
53263Have you nothing more to say to me?''
53263Have you seen her, Len, have you seen her?"
53263Have you seen her?
53263He caught hold of you; he lifted you up; you felt his touch?"
53263He received letters, I suppose?''
53263He run agin me, he did, and I sed,"Who are yer pushing of?"
53263He sniffed intelligently and inquired,"Ai n''t there a baked tatery smell somewheres near?"
53263He walked toward the door, but started back before he reached it, and pointing to the floor, asked,"What do you call that, Wigg?
53263He was a gentleman, was n''t he?
53263He was asked--"''How did you summon Constable Nightingale to your assistance?''
53263Her honorable lover, may I ask?"
53263Her toilette completed, she asked--"''Will I do?''
53263Here Sophy dropped her voice, and asked,''Is Aunt outside?''
53263His name is known, you say?''
53263His name?
53263His orders, then, were to be obeyed without question?''
53263His?
53263How about Emilia?
53263How arrived at?
53263How could he disbelieve a man so charitable and sweet- mannered as Leonard?
53263How could you have been so foolish as to leave him in the house alone?''
53263How dare you speak those words to me?"
53263How did the teamster know they were going to Monkshead?
53263How did you get hold of it?"
53263How did you open it?
53263How does it strike you?"
53263How far from Monkshead?
53263How is it to be done?"
53263How is that statement to be received?
53263How long in the morning will it take you to do that?"
53263How long will you be getting ready?"
53263How old is Sophy?''
53263How should she reply?
53263How will she act toward Emilia?
53263How would it fare with them when pitted against envy, greed, and malice?
53263How would she commence it?
53263How would you accomplish that without mention of my name?
53263How''s the exchequer?"
53263How, can you talk of my choosing between Julian and you?
53263How, then, could she raise her head to meet the gaze of any human being?
53263I am commissioned by Dr. Peterssen to inquire your motive for your proceedings?"
53263I am glad that the matter has come to an issue before Julian leaves Geneva----""Is he going away, then?"
53263I ask you, as ladies of common- sense, what construction does it bear?
53263I asked, very much astonished,"and what is there to explain?"
53263I do not ask what that end is, but how much it would be worth to me?
53263I explain matters, saying first,''Can I speak plainly to you?''
53263I must be sure, must n''t I, sir?''
53263I observe that you call him Mr. and not Monsieur?''
53263I remember Mrs. Middlemore----""Who''s she?"
53263I remember an occasion when I whispered to Dr. Peterssen:"Is she still alive?"
53263I say, was aunty riled at the runaway knock?''
53263I used to ask of myself,''Can Royce lie?''
53263I wish to know what you have done with that letter?"
53263I''ll take you on trial, Miss Braham, will you promise to teach my sweet children and do everything that is required of you?"
53263I''m to go away, am I?"
53263I_ am_ glad to see yer back, I am?
53263If I remove your step brother from your path-- he is, after all, no relation to speak of-- what will you give me?"
53263If he did, where is it?
53263If not they, who?
53263If they are cruel enough to detain me, how long shall I have to wait?''
53263In London?
53263In the second place, what motive could she have had in disposing of them in such a manner?''
53263Is a marriage in church possible?"
53263Is he there now?
53263Is it a good''un?''
53263Is it a pecuniary trouble?''
53263Is it entirely unnatural, my boy, that she should not rush into your arms when you present yourself?
53263Is it true?
53263Is it your left arm?''
53263Is living with a man as his mistress a virtuous act?"
53263Is n''t that a knock at the street door?''
53263Is not that right?"
53263Is that agreeable to you?"
53263Is that correct, ma''am?"
53263Is that correct?"
53263Is that sound, Wigg?"
53263Is that you?''
53263Is there a back way?''
53263Is there a chain on the street door?''
53263Is there any particular reason why you are so positive of this?''
53263Is there any portrait of him extant?
53263Is there anything in the pockets?''
53263Is there more than one of yer?"
53263Is your aunt at home?"
53263It did look suspicious, did n''t it?
53263It grieves me to leave you in your grief, to leave the bereaved Emilia in her sorrow-- but what can I do?
53263It is fastened inside in the usual way, I suppose?''
53263It was curious, was it not, that at the time of Mr. Street''s visit this patient was in one of his strongest paroxysms?
53263It would be bad for both of us""Is there no road but one out of it?"
53263It''ad a sharp pint, too?''
53263Jest?''
53263Julian, do you not see that I am striving to perform a duty which I consider right?"
53263Keep close to me; I will protect you and proud of the chance, as who would n''t be?
53263LOST, OR SAVED?
53263LOST, OR SAVED?
53263Leonard did not reply, and Gerald repeated,"She is dead?
53263Look''ere, you''re rich, ai n''t you?"
53263M. Bordier a wealthy man, I judge?"
53263M. Bordier and Julian will be content to take her as she is; and for me-- has not happiness shone upon me in the darkest hour of my life?
53263May I hope that I have gained another?''
53263May I inquire if the letter I refer to is still in existence?"
53263May I see Constance?"
53263May I walk with you a little way?"
53263May not his disappearance be set down to combustion?
53263May not this afflicted couple be allowed a few minutes''intercourse?''
53263Meanwhile----"Do I believe Mrs. Weston, otherwise E. B., to be guilty of any wrongful act in connection with M. Felix?
53263Middlemore, are you satisfied that I am your friend?''
53263Middlemore, may I have another peep in M. Felix''s rooms?''
53263Middlemore, when M. Felix was found dead in his chair, was this desk in either of the rooms?''
53263Middlemore?"
53263Middlemore?''
53263Mrs. Middlemore coughed, which caused Constable Nightingale to ask,"What''s that for?"
53263Mrs. Middlemore, do you think I could force this door open?"
53263Must you take Sophy?"
53263My dear Agnold, have you ever heard of such a thing as suspended animation?"
53263My mother will come, will she not, in the morning?''
53263Nightingale?"
53263Nightingale?"
53263No, not in friendship, but why should she be sullen and churlish?
53263Nothing has happened, except your accident, during my absence, I suppose?"
53263Now be quiet, will you?
53263Now you feel better, do n''t you?"
53263Now, are you sure he was at home when you went out for your beer?"
53263Now, what do I do when Wigg calls me here?
53263Now, what is it you propose to do?"
53263Now, what is it you want to do?"
53263Now, which road led to the wagoner''s home?
53263Now, why throw it into the river?
53263Of course, all my personal expenses are paid, but what can a man do with three hundred a year?
53263Officer, what is that noise?''
53263Oh, I say, make a pickcher of me, will you?
53263Oh, I was saying, suppose the body should be found in any other part of the house, what would the police say?
53263Oh, Mr. Paget, have you no regard for my helpless position?"
53263Oh, sister, is it innocence or guilt?"
53263Oh, unhappy woman that I am?
53263Oh, where are the police?''
53263On such a night who would notice her?
53263One word was spoken in the form of a question:"Alive?"
53263Only M. Julian Bordier could possibly have altered the entry?''
53263Or did you lock both?''
53263Or shall I go over it again?"
53263Over whose head has hung, at any chance moment, the peril of discovery?
53263Perhaps you can tell us who she is?"
53263Perhaps you have observed that?"
53263Peterssen at home?''
53263Peterssen?"
53263Presently she scrambled down, and nudging Bob, said,"Will that do?"
53263Query: Might not this be the wound that was inflicted by M. Felix''s dagger?
53263Query: Might not this red scarf be the same as that which the man who escaped from the house in Gerard Street wore round his neck?
53263Query: Might she not have paid this visit disguised in a man''s clothes?
53263Rather good is n''t it?
53263Seaton?"
53263Shall I go on?"
53263Shall I go out, or remain at home?
53263Shall we say a thousand pounds?"
53263She and Gerald had been together in the streets-- for how long?
53263She is dead?"
53263She lives?"
53263She went to bed, and though she has passed bad nights this week----''"''Oh, she sed that, did she?''
53263She will be able to do so, will she not, upon two thousand francs a year?"
53263She''s close, ai n''t she?''
53263Should not her name have been there?
53263Should you happen to meet any of the persons who were in the habit of visiting him, would you be able to identify them?''
53263So there was only one patient left?"
53263So they parted, to meet again-- when?
53263So when he ses''Agreed''to the rent and attendance, he ses,''And about servants?''
53263Something more was discovered through this little witch here, was there not?
53263Sophy?
53263Stopping on the opposite side of the road, he said to her:"''Now, Mrs. Middlemore, what brought you here?''
53263Suggestions were thrown out as to the advisability of offering a reward for the discovery of the body, but who was to offer it?
53263Suppose the body should be found in any other part of the house----''"''But''ow could it get there?''
53263Surely he was not dressed as a policeman?''
53263Tell me why you have been hunting me down?"
53263That being so, the question remained-- how had he got into the house?
53263That is the truth, is it not, Miss Braham?"
53263That''s pretty straight, is n''t it?"
53263The father went away, with sighs, saying before he went,''Nothing better can be done for him than you are doing?''
53263The housekeeper who attended upon M. Felix would be able to identify him, but what should bring her into this part of the world?
53263The magistrate asked the constable what caused the splash?
53263The magistrate, to the accused:''Have you any trouble that urged you to put an end to your life?''
53263The magistrate:''Did you see what it was?''
53263The ornaments on the mantelshelf-- are they all there?''
53263The question is-- Where, and how it got there?
53263Then she murmured softly,''Good news?
53263Then would come the question--"Why did you purchase a new suit of clothes for thirty shillings, and sell it immediately afterward for five?"
53263Then you are not entirely alone in this city?''
53263Then you believe that Sophy was right; that she did see, not M. Felix''s ghost as she supposed, but M. Felix himself in the flesh?"
53263There are rooms above these?''
53263There is no doubt, I suppose, about his being mad?"
53263There is nobody in sight, is there?"
53263There was a fire in their house, and it was burned down, how many years ago?
53263There was a secret in that desk, was there not?
53263There was no table- cloth, it is true, but what mattered that?
53263There''s no harm in my admiring you, my dear; who could help it, that''s what I''d like to know?
53263There''s nothing to be frightened of, is there, Nightingale?"
53263Therefore you would do much to restore her to health?"
53263They stole into the adjoining room, and one said gently,"Are you awake?"
53263Think I''m a match for Peterssen?"
53263Think you could climb over it, Sophy, otherwise Maria?"
53263Though still conscious of a strange deadness of feeling at his heart, he saw the situation, and asked in a faint voice--"What kind of justice?"
53263Through whom had I become acquainted with them?
53263Thus driven, what could I do?
53263Tipped them, I daresay?''
53263To which address, though?"
53263To whom, then?"
53263Tucker, then?''
53263Upon what grounds?
53263Wait till the morning to be turned from the hospitable house of these kind sisters?
53263Was he given to dangerous experiments?
53263Was it to be ever her fate to fly from unmerited shame, to be oppressed and hunted down?
53263Was it to be left to her, the fond, the suffering mother, to wreck the future of the child she adored?
53263Was it, or was it not, M. Bordier who came here?"
53263Was she, then, a pariah?
53263Was the cunning scheme suggested by Bob, and to carry out which I had enlisted Sophy''s services, to be nipped in the bud?
53263Was your husband French?"
53263We are both adventurers-- why disguise it?
53263We will deal with Constable Nightingale first:"''When you left the house in Gerard Street in pursuit of the man what direction did you take?''
53263Were any ashes left?
53263Were they never to meet again, to fondly renew their vows of unchangeful love?
53263Were they the only two constables in a thronged locality who were faithfully performing their duty?
53263Were they to be indeed the last?
53263Were they walking?
53263Were you in these rooms on the day before M. Felix''s death?''
53263What but a secret plot, unknown to her, unknown to all but its accomplices, a plot in which Gerald had been involved, and therefore she?
53263What but that of Gerald Paget?
53263What can I say more?
53263What can you teach?"
53263What claim have I upon you?"
53263What could a man want better than this?
53263What crime had she committed?
53263What did he do with it?
53263What did he say to me when I was on this beat?
53263What did his presence in that locality portend?
53263What did it all mean?
53263What did they say about red cats?"
53263What do I care for your blessing or your curse?
53263What do I make of you?
53263What do they expect to see?''
53263What do you say, Wigg?"
53263What do you say?"
53263What do you think I learned?
53263What do you want?"
53263What does his father say?"
53263What does lady we are working for overhear?
53263What does such a woman as she value most in the world?
53263What else did you call us in for?"
53263What fresh misery was in store for her?
53263What had Mrs. Seaton said?
53263What has he done with the key of the private room?
53263What has made you come over like this?
53263What have I done that this misfortune should fall upon me?''
53263What have the police done?
53263What have you done?"
53263What have you there?''
53263What have you to say about it?"
53263What if the letter he gave me to read from Mrs. Braham should be a forged letter?
53263What if the stranger who had introduced himself to me as M. Bordier should turn out not to be M. Bordier, after all?
53263What if this should mean the copy of the marriage certificate?
53263What is her name?"
53263What is her name?''
53263What is his object in going there?
53263What is it?
53263What is that light in the distance?
53263What is that you say?
53263What is the cause?
53263What is the meaning of that gasp?
53263What is the name of this street?"
53263What kind of a suit was it, and on what day was it purchased?''
53263What kind of friend am I?"
53263What made him go to London?
53263What mattered rain and darkness?
53263What more can a man desire than what I see around me?
53263What more do you want?"
53263What more have you discovered?"
53263What more likely than that Leonard Paget was living there under an assumed name?
53263What must she think of me?"
53263What name do you pass by now?"
53263What name shall be substituted in its place?
53263What o''clock is that striking?"
53263What of that?
53263What on earth was he to do?
53263What physical sufferings was she not prepared to bear, and to bear cheerfully, for the sake of her beloved child?
53263What reason have you for hating your brother''s wife?"
53263What relation is she to my second wife?
53263What rent do you arks for the whole''ouse with the exception of the basement?''
53263What shall I say to your daughter after her first surprise is over?
53263What should he do with the dagger?
53263What should he do?
53263What should hinder him?
53263What should make me tired?
53263What should she do?
53263What was her darling Constance?
53263What was his motive?''
53263What was she?
53263What was the reason?
53263What will you do?
53263What words did it utter?"
53263What would I do that for?''
53263What would become of her when her purse was empty?
53263What''ave they dared to say?''
53263What''s become of it?
53263What''s the matter with him?"
53263What''s the matter with you, Sophy?"
53263What''s the time now?"
53263What''s yer little game this time, old''un?''
53263What, then, had become of Crawley?
53263What, therefore, could be his object in paying me a visit?
53263When Mr. Leonard Paget came home did n''t he say anything about Miss Braham?
53263When can you come?"
53263When did you arrive here?"
53263When does he intend to speak to his father?"
53263When he went in did he carry a parcel with him?"
53263When shall it be?"
53263When the curtain rises again, what will be disclosed?
53263When was it done?
53263When you come back with the supper- beer you find the street- door open?"
53263When you come home you find Wigg and me here, do n''t you?"
53263Where are they?"
53263Where are you going to take me?''
53263Where did you leave her?''
53263Where is he?"
53263Where is his body, and for what reason was it stolen from the house in Gerard Street?
53263Where is she?''
53263Where shall we talk?''
53263Where should he take her?
53263Where was I when you interrupted me?
53263Where were the official books while the gentleman was in the office?''
53263Where''s the keyhole?
53263Where''s the other?''
53263Where, then?
53263Where?
53263Where?"
53263Which door?
53263Which of these doors did you lock?
53263Which side would triumph in the end?
53263Which way shall we turn?"
53263Who did it?
53263Who ever saw such a thing?"
53263Who has done all the work?
53263Who has vanished?''
53263Who is Dr. Peterssen, and what has he got to do with me, or I with him?"
53263Who is the gentleman?
53263Who knows?
53263Who opened that window, and left it open on such a night?
53263Who took away the key of the bedroom?''
53263Whose was the immediate risk in the conspiracy?
53263Why did she keep away from him?
53263Why did she not write to him?
53263Why did you cut and run from the tender- hearted individual upon whom your safety depends?
53263Why did you not tell your master of the gentleman''s visit?''
53263Why do I cry for help?
53263Why do you hate her?
53263Why do you shrink?
53263Why do you stop?
53263Why not sell it, then?
53263Why not?
53263Why not?
53263Why should I condemn you to a life which must be intolerably dull to you?
53263Why should I withhold from her even for an hour that which would strengthen the new- born hopes which animated her?
53263Why should it have made so strong an impression upon him?
53263Why, where is the revolver?''
53263Why?
53263Why?
53263Why?"
53263Wigg, do you know of a locksmith about here?"
53263Will programme do?"
53263Will she remain long?"
53263Will you allow me to explain, and will you render an inestimable service to a poor widow?
53263Will you detain me long?"
53263Will you kindly ask Mr. Leonard Paget to come to me?"
53263Will you not give me a little pity?"
53263Will you not walk into the house?"
53263Will you see her before then?''
53263Will you travel with me as my friend and companion?
53263Will you try me?
53263With a pleasant smile he left the hotel thinking,"Now where the devil has the young fool gone?
53263With sudden terror she cried,"You will not leave me, Gerald?
53263Wo n''t I do it?
53263Would it be really best to go back to the hotel?"
53263Would it have been better that she had died?
53263Would its discovery, by throwing direct suspicion upon Constance''s mother, assist or retard the progress of his mission?
53263Would she have run away, had she not been found in your house?"
53263Would you care to convince yourself?
53263Would you know him again?"
53263Would you leave Leonard Paget also in peace?"
53263Would you like the number of the note?''
53263Would you like to see me dance?''
53263Would you mind writing it down on paper for me?"
53263Would you oblige me by going to the door and giving the alarm?"
53263Yer sor Sophy, sir, did yer?
53263Yer''ve been at the''ouse, then?''
53263Yes, I used to ask of myself,''Can Royce lie?''
53263Yes, who could help it?
53263Yes; that is his step?"
53263You accept, then?"
53263You ai n''t forgetting, sir, that he was master''ere?''
53263You are acquainted with the story of the young girl''s life?"
53263You are my friend, Bob Tucker?"
53263You are not alone?"
53263You are not alone?"
53263You are positive the body was on the bed?''
53263You are some years older than I, dear brother; have you ever been in love?"
53263You can give it to me, I hope?''
53263You can not say whether it followed you?"
53263You can write?"
53263You go out for your supper- beer every night?''
53263You have met with misfortunes?''
53263You have no friends?
53263You have some money about you?"
53263You heard what the policeman said?''
53263You leave the house safe, and you are sure you shut the street- door tight?"
53263You look tired out; ai n''t yer been well?"
53263You married young?"
53263You remember me now?"
53263You understand all that?"
53263You understand?
53263You will give me a receipt for it?
53263You will go at once?''
53263You will go away blessing me, will you?
53263You will go straight home, I suppose?''
53263You will not come with me to the door?"
53263You will not desert me?"
53263You will not desert me?''
53263You will not mind, will you?"
53263You will not refuse me?"
53263You will stand by me?"
53263You''d do the same if you was in my shoes, would n''t you?"
53263You''ll bear it in mind, you and Wigg, wo n''t you?"
53263You''ll come back to me, Sophy?"
53263You''ll not forget?''
53263You''re joking, sir, ai n''t yer?"
53263You_ do_ miss something?''
53263Your aunt?''
53263Your opinion, Agnold?"
53263_ Are_ you dumb?
53263exclaimed Constable Nightingale, in a jocular voice;"who ever heard of such a thing?
53263he asked-- they had left the shop, and were walking side by side--''to your coming home late?''
53263how can I atone quickly for the unconscious suffering I have inflicted upon her?
53263she cried, with a little shriek,"was that somebody moving upstairs?"
53263therefore, could not have given Nightingale the direction?''
53263what else could I do?
53263where are they?''
53263whispered Mrs. Middlemore, shaking like a jelly,"Oh, what is it?"
53263who could''ave done it?"
58086A great deal of work?
58086A long, long, long journey?
58086About Miss Rye, sir? 58086 About Miss Rye?
58086About me, Mr. Greatorex? 58086 About what?"
58086Acknowledge what, Ger?
58086All along from when?
58086Alletha, do you call her? 58086 Am I late?"
58086Am I to leave the service at once, sir?--now?
58086Am I to starve in future, that you wo n''t give me a home?
58086An old gentleman, with white hair, was it?
58086And Bede Greatorex too, you say?
58086And Gerald not know of this?
58086And did he pay the rent, Miss Rye?
58086And did it knowingly?--intentional?
58086And did you read the reviews on it?
58086And how dare you do it?
58086And how long did you remain with him?
58086And how much do you earn at it weekly?
58086And how much leave have you got for London, Arthur?
58086And if I were convinced?
58086And if it were?
58086And if the parson finds Pitman out for himself?
58086And it will bring great luck?
58086And my clothes, that I left here? 58086 And now for the result?"
58086And now, Bede, what do_ you_ know?
58086And the other-- Winter?
58086And the tanning of birch Pye gave him?
58086And this is_ all_ you have to tell us?
58086And we can take a holiday too, Hamish?
58086And what could have induced it?
58086And what have you to tell me? 58086 And what in the world brings you down here at this hour, frightening quiet people out of their senses?"
58086And what may this young lady have been about that she has not come to see me before, this evening?
58086And what rendered it impossible?
58086And what though she is? 58086 And when we shall have got the three hundred a year in secure prospect, you''ll talk to Mrs. Channing of Helstonleigh for me, wo n''t you?"
58086And when will the ship be home, papa?
58086And when would you come back again to this house?
58086And who''s he?
58086And you are getting on well, Arthur? 58086 And you can stand there, Mr. Brown and deliberately avow that you did not know a murder had been committed?"
58086And you did not go in?
58086And you have a suspicion of who the traitor was?
58086And you heard no sound whatever upstairs all the evening, Susan Marks? 58086 And your sister admitted him, and he stayed the week?"
58086And, if Gerald''s book has received this award of praise, what will not mine obtain?
58086Any relation to Sir Richard Yorke?
58086Any relative of the Yorkes of Helstonleigh?
58086Anything turned up?
58086Are clothes included?
58086Are we going to your chambers, Gerald?
58086Are you a good hand at accounts?
58086Are you cleverer and sharper than the jury, and the coroner, and me, and Mr. Ollivera''s friends, and the rest of the world, all of us put together? 58086 Are you getting on with my manuscript, Hamish?"
58086Are you ill?
58086Are you in want of a bailiff?
58086Are you living in London?
58086Are you not coming with us?
58086Are you not coming, Hurst?
58086Are you out of your mind, sir?
58086Are you ready for tea, Hamish?
58086Are you related to Sir Richard Yorke?
58086Are you so much surprised: after that there avowal you made to me last night? 58086 Are you so very busy?"
58086Are you sure he is in bed?
58086Are you sure it was the man?
58086Are you thinking Bede looks worse, Sir Thomas?
58086Are you well?
58086Are you?
58086At the expense of another?
58086At what hour did you go home on Monday evening?
58086Avow what?
58086Awful that it should have been Alletha Rye, you mean?
58086Bede--for at that moment Bede Greatorex joined the speakers--"how could you suffer them to bring in a verdict so horrible?"
58086Bede, how came John Ollivera to die?
58086Bede, how came he to do it?
58086Between half- past seven and eight? 58086 Bread and scrape''s not good, is it, Kitty?"
58086But do n''t you see the result? 58086 But he has more than that, I presume?"
58086But if I am unable to do it,--if I can not see how it may be done,--if the power of elucidation does not lie with me-- what would you?
58086But if I must, Ellen?
58086But if it is not that, what else can it be?
58086But now, sir, do you suppose I should have dared to hold that sacred service over a man who had wilfully destroyed himself?
58086But what are you going for, Roland?
58086But what can be tried, sir, or done, more than has been?
58086But what can it be that he has to tell? 58086 But what can you do in it?"
58086But what caused the crash of glass?
58086But what is it, old fellow?
58086But what took you round by Birmingham?
58086But when will it be quite, quite, quite home?
58086But who is in the coffin?
58086But why can you not disclose what it is you know?
58086But why do you trouble yourself to say this?
58086But why have hesitated to tell me, Ellen?
58086But why so?
58086But why?
58086But you can be cured?
58086But you have not got all that about you, I hope?
58086But you saw his face beforehand?--when he looked out of the room?
58086But you will consent to what I ask? 58086 But you_ locked_ your desk?"
58086But, William what do you mean about a woman?
58086But-- Roland-- you have not given up all hope?
58086But-- you do n''t mean that she-- that she went out and killed him?
58086But-- you must have known that Mr. Ollivera was sojourning in Mrs. Jones''s house at the same time that you were? 58086 Ca n''t you answer a body?"
58086Ca n''t_ you_ just step round to Bedford Square, with it, Alletha?
58086Can I come in today?
58086Can I?
58086Can the person be got at?
58086Chocolate? 58086 Clare?
58086Could any of the household-- the maidservants, for instance-- get into this here room?
58086Could n''t stand it, I suppose? 58086 Could n''t you let me one room?
58086Could she have got out without being seen?
58086Could you please let me go out, madam? 58086 Dear Bede,--Can you tell me whether Sir Thomas Kene is in London?
58086Death for you?
58086Did Butterby want anything in particular?
58086Did I know him?
58086Did Mr. Bede Greatorex tell you so?
58086Did Mr. Frank say a crossed cheque?
58086Did Mr. Ollivera kill himself, or did n''t he? 58086 Did Winny strike last night, and refuse to go into lodgings?"
58086Did You sit up to work at night at Port Natal?
58086Did any one come in while you were with him?
58086Did any one go in?
58086Did he draw it on himself? 58086 Did he leave by the train?"
58086Did he say anything to you about any appointment he had kept that afternoon?
58086Did he----Bede Greatorex hesitated, stopped, and then went on with his sentence--"take my cheque?"
58086Did it not strike you as singular that it should be there?
58086Did n''t I tell you so?
58086Did she do it herself?--or is she trying to screen Master George Winter? 58086 Did that happen to you?"
58086Did they try you for it?
58086Did they write for you?
58086Did you ask him for it then?
58086Did you come back on account of it?
58086Did you hear any noise as you passed Mr. Ollivera''s rooms?
58086Did you hear what was said?
58086Did you know at the time that it was not suicide?
58086Did you know him?
58086Did you know that it was loaded?
58086Did you make free with that cheque yesterday, Mr. Yorke-- as you did by the other money?
58086Did you make your fortune out there?
58086Did you never handle a gun before?
58086Did you read the reviews on it?
58086Did you see Mr. Ollivera as you came down?
58086Did you see Mr. Ollivera when you took this gentleman up?
58086Did you see cause to suspect in that last interview that his mind was otherwise than in a sane state?
58086Did you see him write the note found on his table, or any portion of it?
58086Did you see sweet little Nelly?
58086Did you see the deceased then?
58086Did you speak, sir?
58086Did you suppose you were going to fill Hamish Channing''s hall with boxes and bundles?
58086Did you take it?
58086Disappointed in his book?
58086Dissipated it in what?
58086Do I? 58086 Do n''t I?"
58086Do n''t you mean to call and see him?
58086Do n''t you remember me?--Clare Joliffe?
58086Do n''t you see Louisa?
58086Do n''t you think the news might be enough to cure you?
58086Do n''t you think you must be mistaken in supposing you put the cheque in the desk? 58086 Do n''t you think, Hamish, he must have been a great duffer to go and marry before he knew how he could keep a wife?"
58086Do you ask me that, sir, because you suspect one?
58086Do you feel better, mother?
58086Do you feel worse, Hamish?
58086Do you indeed think it could have been an accident, Kene? 58086 Do you know to whom that note was written?"
58086Do you know what I wish, Ellen? 58086 Do you know which is the office?"
58086Do you know who he has willed it to? 58086 Do you mean it, Vincent?"
58086Do you mean that the clerk, in taking it-- if he did take it-- was acting as the agent of some other party?
58086Do you mean that you have foreseen Miss Rye would be taken? 58086 Do you mean the crowd?"
58086Do you mean the tic- douloureux?
58086Do you mean through Gerald''s book?
58086Do you mean, that it will be long first?
58086Do you remember my saying to you one day in the dining- room above, that I thought it was a woman? 58086 Do you say that seriously?"
58086Do you think he had anything to do with his death?
58086Do you think she''s off her head, sir?
58086Do you think there can be any reasonable doubt-- any doubt whatever-- that he committed suicide?
58086Do you?
58086Do you_ know_ that Alletha Rye was not guilty of it?
58086Do_ you_ think it?
58086Does he mean his wife, or does n''t he?
58086Does it-- trouble him?
58086Does that give you any right to insult me? 58086 Does_ that_ apply to Miss Annabel Channing?"
58086Don''t-- you-- mean-- to live with us?
58086Doubt?
58086First of all-- what was the exact hour at which you reached Mr. Ollivera''s rooms?
58086From Paris, sir? 58086 Give what you like,"he said wearily"What is it you are going to hold?
58086Good gracious, Annabel, do n''t you know me? 58086 Got a fortune bequeathed?"
58086Got the mumps? 58086 Great heaven, can I go on with it?"
58086Had a good character with him, I suppose? 58086 Had you known previously, Mrs. Jones, that Mr. Ollivera was in the habit of bringing with him a loaded pistol?"
58086Has she said she''ll have you?
58086Have I got the use of my eyes and senses?
58086Have we ever met before?
58086Have you any idea how long he remained in, writing?
58086Have you been staying there?
58086Have you brought no nursemaid, Winny?
58086Have you changed your abode from Helstonleigh to London?
58086Have you come to arrest me?
58086Have you forgotten what I said? 58086 Have you found out that one of them did take it?"
58086Have you had any more dreams, Miss Rye?
58086Have you not heard of Godfrey Pitman?
58086Have you not seen Arthur, then?
58086Have you not seen it, Ellen?
58086Have you read the reviews?
58086Have you taken care of the paper?
58086Have you told them that it was by my desire you remained passive?
58086Have you, as usual, the headache, tonight?
58086Have you?
58086He does it grand, does he not?
58086He does not talk much about it, does he?
58086He will do well?
58086His motive, Bede? 58086 How are you getting on?"
58086How are you, Sir Richard?
58086How are you, mother darling? 58086 How are you, sir?
58086How are you?
58086How can you put up with this? 58086 How can you take care?"
58086How could I suppose you would hasten treacherously to use it against me?
58086How d''ye do Cause? 58086 How d''ye do, Butterby?"
58086How d''ye do, Gerald, old boy? 58086 How d''ye do, Mrs. Jones?
58086How dare you?
58086How did you find out all this about him?
58086How does he think the accounts get paid?
58086How has it been discovered, Roland?
58086How have you begun to put your shoulder to the wheel?
58086How have you managed it, old friend?
58086How is Constance?
58086How is Hamish Channing?
58086How is Vincent?
58086How is it that you have never found him?
58086How long has Sir Vincent been back from Paris?
58086How many more times am I to have that answer given me?
58086How many packages have you, Winny?
58086How much?
58086How should I know?
58086How should he know any room''s to let? 58086 How was I to know?
58086How was it, sir? 58086 How was that, sir?"
58086How were the folks up yonder, Sir Roland, when you left?
58086How will you avoid it?
58086How''s Ger? 58086 How''s everybody?"
58086How, sir, I ask you, could such a man take away his own life?
58086How?
58086Hurst, where do you think I am going to lodge?
58086I hear Hamish Channing is ill?
58086I mean, could a woman, think you, have had the physical strength to fire the pistol?
58086I mean, has Mr. Arthur Channing not come here to claim it?
58086I say, Annabel, why are you not at the party tonight?
58086I say, Ger, is it not enough to make one sad? 58086 I say, Mr. Brown, did you ever hear how they all keep up the ball about that Godfrey Pitman?
58086I say, Mrs. J., how much do you think two people could live upon?
58086I say, old John, you do n''t get younger,it went on;"where''s your hair gone?
58086I say, why ca n''t you speak up, and say you did not do it?
58086I say,began Roland,"this is rather strong, is it not?"
58086I say-- why did you not attend that night yourself? 58086 I should like to hear what business he had to die, and who killed him?"
58086I suppose you could n''t pay me a trifle off it now, Mr. Yorke? 58086 I suppose you will not grumble at my opening this?"
58086I wonder if he has remembered me?
58086I wonder if he went to Port Natal?
58086If I had not been strong and sound as a young lion, should I have stood all that knocking about at Port Natal? 58086 If she should be going to have the measles, the others will be sure to catch it, and then what should I do?"
58086If there was not a soul there, Mr. Yorke, how could your elbows get crushed?
58086If you-- could get-- Brown out of the way?
58086If----"And not stay for tonight?
58086Ill? 58086 In bothers as usual?"
58086In search of Arthur Channing, William?
58086In what dock? 58086 Is Arthur dead?"
58086Is Bede mad?
58086Is Kene here, Bede?
58086Is Miss Clare Joliffe staying there?
58086Is Miss Rye all right?
58086Is anything the matter, Hamish? 58086 Is he found, sir?
58086Is he lodging there now?
58086Is he well?
58086Is he worse?
58086Is he? 58086 Is it a bad one?"
58086Is it a secret of trust reposed in you?
58086Is it any one of them I''ve heard mentioned in connection with the death?
58086Is it good news?
58086Is it me you despise, Mr. Channing, or the small prospect I can offer her?
58086Is it only you?
58086Is it possible to believe that she_ did_ it?--with her calm good face, with her clear honest eye?
58086Is it serious? 58086 Is it so, think you?"
58086Is it that twenty- pound note of old Galloway''s?--or is it because I went knocking about at Port Natal?
58086Is it the fire- engine?
58086Is it true? 58086 Is it what?"
58086Is it you, Butterby? 58086 Is it you, Mr. Roland Yorke?"
58086Is it you, Mr. Yorke? 58086 Is it_ you?_"Miss Rye had heard speak of Mr. Brown, the managing clerk in the department of Mr. Bede Greatorex.
58086Is my old room ready for me?
58086Is she?
58086Is the lady fixed upon?
58086Is there anything so remarkable in Arthur Channing''s coming to London? 58086 Is this true?"
58086It could not be that-- that-- Charles Willett was the one to slink in, and harm him?
58086It was a child of twelve, or so, that showed you up, was n''t it?
58086It was calm and clear as usual, for all you saw?
58086It was those books that came in the parcel last night?
58086It will be safe, I presume?
58086It''s a man, then?
58086It''s such an unkind thing of her, Roland-- I may call you Roland, I suppose?
58086It_ is_ Alletha Rye, is n''t it, sir?
58086Jane Greatorex did?
58086Jenner, d''ye know of a good dining- place about here?
58086Jenny, what is it?
58086Johnson and Co. will be for prosecuting him, I suppose?
58086Leaving the door open, I suppose?
58086Lost your luggage?
58086Louisa, is it as it should be between us?
58086Lucky?
58086Me wish to know? 58086 Monday?--Monday?"
58086Mr. Brown, was that person a man or a woman?
58086Mr. Yorke, I think?
58086Mrs. J., where have you put him?
58086Nelly? 58086 No; why should I?"
58086Not ever, ever, ever?
58086Not let him dress himself?
58086Not like the title?
58086Now do you know me?
58086Now what do you mean, Mrs. J.? 58086 Now, young woman,"said the coroner briskly, as if he thought time was being lost,"what have you to tell us of the events of Monday night?"
58086Now_ do_ you suppose that I am a young gosling?
58086Of what kind?
58086Oh, can he?
58086Oh, has n''t he?
58086Oh, have you?
58086Oh, is he? 58086 Oh, papa!--and do n''t you care-- don''t you care for mamma and me, that you must leave us?"
58086Oh, that''s Mr. Ollivera, is it?
58086Oh, that''s it, is it?
58086Oh, they say that, do they?
58086Older, do you mean?
58086On account of what? 58086 One of your own?"
58086Out on the spree?
58086Over from where? 58086 Papa, shall I put on her blue frock or her green?
58086Perhaps you left your keys about?
58086Seemly?
58086Serve out Arthur?
58086Shall I tell him, or not?
58086Shall baby wear her blue frock or her green, papa? 58086 Shall you keep these chambers on?"
58086Should I avow such a thing if it were not? 58086 Should you recognize him again?"
58086Shut up in your room at the top of the house; looking for-- what was it?--a parcel?
58086Sowed his wild oats, has he?
58086Sulky as usual, Bede?
58086Suppose she should turn restive and insist on coming_ here?_ Good heavens! 58086 Surely,"said the coroner,"you did not expect to see Mr. Ollivera dead?"
58086Take her up for what?
58086That_ was_ a beauty, was n''t it?
58086The critiques were, of course rather severe: but how can critiques kill a man?
58086The future?
58086The heart, perhaps?
58086The news you brought down to him was not bad news?
58086The-- what?
58086Then they do n''t know yet that he and my clerk Brown are the same?
58086Then they do n''t prosecute?
58086Then what do you know, that you should wish to interfere? 58086 Then where was the good of bringing him up?"
58086Then why do n''t she speak up and say so? 58086 Then why do you laugh at me?"
58086Then you only_ think_ that, Bede?
58086Then you''ve not come down to say he is found?
58086Then-- in point of fact, Mr. Greatorex, you can throw no positive light on this affair for us?
58086Then-- your theory, I presume, is-- that he added that blotted concluding line after your departure? 58086 There will be no difficulty, I presume?"
58086There''s no danger, then?
58086This house is small, the walls are no doubt thin; can we be overheard?
58086To Helstonleigh? 58086 To ask_ me?_"she tremblingly said, while he was showing her a paper: probably the warrant.
58086To her husband?
58086To what end?
58086Try him for what?
58086Vent what?
58086Was Arthur Channing not at a-- a certain night funeral?
58086Was Louisa Joliffe out that evening, I wonder?
58086Was he going to London, or the other way, sir?
58086Was it Hurst?
58086Was it a fit? 58086 Was it a fit?"
58086Was it not enough that I brought disgrace on Arthur Channing in the years gone by, but you, another of us ill- doing Yorkes, must destroy Hamish?
58086Was it the same note, think you, that was afterwards found?
58086Was it_ you_ who went in, close upon the departing heels of Mr. Bede Greatorex, and did this cruel thing?
58086Was not your quitting Birmingham a mistake?
58086Was there ever heard the like of that?
58086Well, now, Mr. Greatorex, what was the manner of the deceased while you were with him? 58086 Well, sir, but how was I to think he had gone for good?"
58086Well?
58086Well?
58086Well?
58086Well?
58086Were many letters waiting for him?
58086Were you alone?
58086Were you at home on Monday night?
58086Were you ever with him?
58086Were you on duty last Sunday week, in the afternoon?
58086What I want to know is, where''s the use of people being like this?
58086What about the reviews?
58086What accident?
58086What ails you tonight?
58086What are these natures good for?
58086What are they made for?
58086What are you doing?
58086What are you looking at?
58086What brings_ him_ here? 58086 What d''ye call layers?"
58086What did Hamish say?
58086What did he do?
58086What did it signify whether Charles was met in London, or not? 58086 What did the bank say to you?"
58086What did they do that for?
58086What do you call a fair start?
58086What do you call''ever so long''?
58086What do you know about it?
58086What do you mean, Bede?
58086What do you mean, Louisa? 58086 What do you mean, Sir Vincent?"
58086What do you mean?
58086What do you suppose I am, Annabel? 58086 What does it all mean?"
58086What does it mean?
58086What else could he do? 58086 What had that to do with it?"
58086What has Bede Greatorex to do with it? 58086 What has Port Natal to do with this?"
58086What has happened?
58086What has kept you away?
58086What has put you out?
58086What have I done now?
58086What if I accuse a woman?
58086What if I were to? 58086 What ink d''ye call this?"
58086What ink- bottle?
58086What interruptions?
58086What is amiss with Miss Channing?
58086What is it to me?
58086What is it, I wonder? 58086 What is it, love?"
58086What is it?
58086What is it?
58086What is it?
58086What is it?
58086What is it?
58086What is my offence?
58086What is pressing you particularly?
58086What is the matter with him?
58086What is the matter, Judge?
58086What is the matter, Winny?
58086What is the reason that you shun me, Miss Rye? 58086 What is troubling you, Bede?"
58086What kind of a lodging? 58086 What makes you persist in thinking he did not kill himself?"
58086What may be the meaning of this?
58086What on earth does John mean? 58086 What on earth for?"
58086What on earth possessed the fellow?
58086What on earth put this into their miserable heads? 58086 What on earth''s the matter with_ you?_"demanded Mrs. Jones.
58086What on earth''s the matter?
58086What on earth''s the matter?
58086What ordeal?
58086What other thing?
58086What other?
58086What rest?
58086What shall we do without them?
58086What sort of a chanter does Tom make?
58086What sort of a looking man was this Godfrey Pitman?
58086What the devil do you mean?--how dare you presume to give me such advice? 58086 What the devil is all this, Butterby?"
58086What then?
58086What things?
58086What time is it now?
58086What time was it?
58086What time was that?
58086What was Ollivera to her?
58086What was it that he was trying to accomplish?
58086What was that?
58086What was the circumstance?
58086What was the lesson you learnt at Port Natal?
58086What were you about to say?
58086What will they do?
58086What wo n''t do?
58086What would Nelly say if papa told her he also wanted to go to sleep?
58086What!--has she confessed to you?
58086What''s amiss, sir?
58086What''s amiss?
58086What''s for tea?
58086What''s that, Roland?
58086What''s that?
58086What''s the matter with him?
58086What''s the matter with him?
58086What''s the matter with_ you?_Alletha Rye had sat down on the nearest chair, and seemed labouring to get her breath.
58086What''s the matter?
58086What''s the rent?
58086What''s the time?
58086What''s to do?
58086What''s two hundred a year? 58086 What, mother?"

58086What?
58086What?
58086What?
58086What_ is_ it?
58086What_ is_ there against Hurst?
58086Whatever brings you here, Miss Joliffe?
58086Whatever did he do it for?
58086When did I see him last? 58086 When do you mean to come to Helstonleigh?"
58086When was it?
58086When will it be finished?
58086When''s the ship coming home, papa?
58086Where are John''s papers and things?
58086Where are you going to sleep?
58086Where is he staying?
58086Where is he?
58086Where is it? 58086 Where was the good of your coming by this duffing train?"

58086Where''s the use?
58086Which cheque?
58086Which of the fellows did she like best?
58086Which was it?
58086Who am I?
58086Who are you?
58086Who are_ you_, that you should put yourself up against the verdict?
58086Who asked for references?
58086Who did it, then?
58086Who did that?
58086Who did you say had taken the room, Julia? 58086 Who did?"
58086Who did?
58086Who do you suppose has been helping you all this year?
58086Who has done this?
58086Who holds the paper that was found on the table?
58086Who is Godfrey Pitman, witness?
58086Who is away?
58086Who is cruel now?
58086Who is it that_ you_ suspect?
58086Who is the somebody else? 58086 Who is the young lady?"
58086Who is?
58086Who remarks on it?

58086Who says he is not?
58086Who says so?
58086Who the devil is to make them lighter?
58086Who was Godfrey Pitman?
58086Who was he, witness? 58086 Who was he?"

58086Who was that gentleman?
58086Who was that?
58086Who was the man?
58086Who would harm Ollivera, Kene? 58086 Who would take care of me, papa?"
58086Who wrote it?
58086Who''s that?
58086Who?
58086Who?
58086Who?--What woman?
58086Who_ is_ Brown?
58086Why did the doctors let it take_ this_ turn?
58086Why did you not come up, William? 58086 Why did you not speak of it at the time?"
58086Why did you think it necessary to ask? 58086 Why do n''t you speak out, girl?"
58086Why do you question it?
58086Why do you say''his sad way?'' 58086 Why have you not done it?"
58086Why not go to him?
58086Why not?
58086Why not?
58086Why should she not have had you before?
58086Why should she rush off? 58086 Why should you bring in Alletha Rye''s name?
58086Why, Ger, where''s the use of being put out?
58086Why, of course you are-- how came I to forget it?
58086Why, what can you mean, Bede?
58086Why, what do you mean?
58086Why, what is amiss?
58086Why? 58086 Why?"
58086Why?
58086Will it come tomorrow, papa?
58086Will the bank know the fellow again that cashed it?
58086Will there be any dinner for us?
58086Will this do, Mr. Brown? 58086 Will you admit visitors sir?"
58086Will you come up, Gerald?
58086Will you forgive me?
58086Will you go, Hamish?
58086Will you let me ask who it is that has had her apprehended? 58086 Will you not come, sir?"
58086Without imparting any hint of my reasons for it?
58086Wonder if he has anything to do with that little affair that has just turned up in Birmingham?
58086Would Sir Richard be likely to have two cheques from Greatorex and Greatorex in one day, each drawn for the same amount-- forty- four pounds?
58086Would you have had me kiss you on the platform?
58086Wrote what?
58086You are Constance Channing?
58086You are sure he left you at that hour?
58086You are what?
58086You can, I suppose?
58086You could n''t perjure yourself; you_ could n''t_, Annabel; do n''t you know what you always said-- that you''d be my wife?
58086You do n''t like all that, sir?
58086You do n''t mean to say you are living in London?
58086You heard nothing of his movements on that evening?
58086You know the old French proverb, I dare say, Mr. Yorke:''Qui s''excuse s''accuse''?
58086You remember that time at old Galloway''s, Hamish, when Jenkins and Arthur were both away together, throwing all the work upon me? 58086 You tell me that you know of your own cognisance Alletha Rye was innocent?
58086You think I can not succeed in fiction?
58086You think so?
58086You were young men together, Bede; of the same pursuits-- frequent companions; did you ever suspect he had any care, or embarrassment, or trouble?
58086You will give me Annabel with a will, Hamish, now that I have come into the family inheritance?
58086You will keep the secret, Kene, as I have kept it?
58086You will sit down and take some, William?
58086You will swear to this testimony of yours, Mr.--Winter?
58086You''ll be kind to him, Roland?
58086You''ll come and see me, old fellow?
58086You''ll do me a favour, wo n''t you, old friend?
58086You''ll go to him when I''m dead, sir, and tell him the truth then, that I was not guilty? 58086 You''ll leave Annabel especially to me, wo n''t you, Hamish; and wish us both joy and happiness?"
58086You''ll lose no time, Channing?
58086You''ll send it back to him in a blank envelope, wo n''t you?
58086You''re fit to swear at me, I suppose, Simms, for never having sent you the money?
58086You''ve not heard more of this mysterious loss, I suppose?
58086You-- really heard her say this, William?
58086You?
58086Young?
58086Your heir?
58086Your liabilities in Birmingham? 58086 _ Do_ you suspect her?"
58086_ Have_ you heard of him, then?
58086_ Is_ he dead, Bede?
58086_ Must_ you go the journey?
58086_ Sir?_returned the man, looking at him as if he thought he saw a lunatic.
58086_ What_ is it you charge my sister with, Butterby?--the death of Counsellor Ollivera?
58086_ You_ do n''t believe Godfrey Pitman was guilty?
58086''Where_ is_ Pitman?''
58086A ball?"
58086A blue bag?
58086A fine night, is n''t it?"
58086A little sooner, a little later-- what does it matter?"
58086A looker- on, able to dive into Bede''s heart, might rather have asked,"Nay, why did he suffer her to gather it?"
58086A room with a turn- up bedstead in it, Mrs. Jenkins, or something of that?
58086All his thoughts ran on the question-- How could he in the shortest space of time get to Marseilles?
58086Am I the man who presented that cheque yesterday?"
58086And before you came to them?"
58086And how are you?
58086And how''ud you know which was the suspicious ones?
58086And it was caused, you say, by Gerald Yorke?"
58086And now about this matter, Mr. Bede Greatorex?"
58086And now?
58086And the ornaments that were mine?"
58086And what are you, Hurst,--a lawyer?"
58086And why should he wait at all to tell it?"
58086And why should it?
58086Are his curls flourishing?"
58086Are they all as vain as Hamish Channing?"
58086Are they wiped out?"
58086Are you here, Butterby?"
58086Are you likely to stay in our office long?"
58086Are you sure that one of yours was a dream, Miss Rye?"
58086Are you tired, papa?"
58086Bede came to a full stop: was he getting too agitated to speak, or could he not find a word?
58086Been well lately, Mr. Bede Greatorex?"
58086Brown?"
58086Brown?"
58086Brown?"
58086Brown?"
58086Brown?"
58086But about the two hundred a year?
58086But does he ever cast a reflection on the toil that book has cost the writer?
58086But have you not known it all along, Mr. Bede Greatorex?"
58086But what else do you think he said, Arthur?"
58086But what sort of a wife did she make him?--how much did Bede, in his chivalric devotion, have to bear?
58086But where were the tall old elm- trees-- through whose foliage the moonbeams ought to have glittered, but did not?
58086Butterby?"
58086Butterby?"
58086Butterby?"
58086By- the- way, is there anything in that story of Roland''s-- that he is engaged to Channing''s sister?
58086Ca n''t you come at nine to lodgings?
58086Can I?
58086Can nothing be done?"
58086Can you copy deeds?"
58086Can you even faintly picture it to yourself?
58086Can you not say who she is, Henry?
58086Channing?"
58086Channing?"
58086Channing?"
58086Come, Spitchcock?"
58086Could a woman, think you, have killed my brother?"
58086Could it be that he"was not?"
58086Could n''t you let me come here?"
58086Could n''t you take the pound a- week, and do for me?"
58086Could_ these_ be the fine wide streets of the former days?
58086Did I act my part well, Kene?
58086Did Mr. Ollivera mean to imply that he_ had_ heard of Pitman?--that he, the clergyman, was aware that he had heard?
58086Did Satan lead me on?
58086Did he make a will?"
58086Did he not now think of him?
58086Did n''t I take him down to it that night from your house, and see him safe in?
58086Did n''t he order his missing portmanteau to be sent to the place as soon as it turned up?
58086Did she invent that dream as an excuse for having gone into the room to find him?
58086Did she want to get rid of care?
58086Did you know him?"
58086Did you make your fortune at Port Natal?
58086Did you perceive anything unusual?"
58086Did you say_ curse?_""I said_ king_,"answered Bede.
58086Did you see him?"
58086Do n''t you see mamma is looking at me?"
58086Do n''t you see what it implies?
58086Do n''t you think so?"
58086Do you call it manners?
58086Do you hear?--what have you to urge against his coming?"
58086Do you know anything of butter- making, Annabel?"
58086Do you know of any lodgings to be let in these parts, Jenner?"
58086Do you know that your dinner''s getting cold?
58086Do you know what I did, sir?
58086Do you live there?
58086Do you mean that Gerald does not live with his wife and children?"
58086Do you mean that Hamish is-- going-- to die?"
58086Do you mean to say that''s unlikely?"
58086Do you mean to say two people could not live on two hundred a- year?
58086Do you remember her at Helstonleigh?"
58086Do you remember it, uncle?"
58086Do you remember the morning you saw me decamping off for London on my way to it?"
58086Do you see much of him, Hamish?"
58086Do you spend Christmas down here, Vincent?"
58086Do you suppose I should have cared to come down on this business to Mr. Ollivera, when writing would have answered every purpose?
58086Do you suspect Hurst still, sir?"
58086Do you suspect her?"
58086Do you take me, Mr. Bede Greatorex?"
58086Do you think I''d have the face to invent a jest on this subject?
58086Do you want me?"
58086Do you want to see the paper?
58086Do_ you_ like this in your house, Uncle Greatorex?"
58086Does Bede like it?"
58086Does he look like one?"
58086Does he look up to him with even a_ thought_ of gratitude?
58086Does he remember the ink- bottle?"
58086Does it so strike upon you, reader?
58086Does she live here?"
58086Five pounds?"
58086Galloway?"
58086Gerald.--Another piece of muffin, Kitty?
58086Godfrey Pitman?
58086Greatorex?"
58086Greatorex?"
58086Greatorex?"
58086Greatorex?"
58086Had Gerald carelessly overlooked them?
58086Had I been Hamish I should just have said,''Where''s my sister that she is not present?''
58086Had the question been put to Gerald"Are you married?"
58086Has he made you his bailiff?"
58086Has she recovered her temper yet?"
58086Has the blow fallen at last?"
58086Haunted by what?"
58086Have the publishers paid you anything yet?"
58086Have you any doubt yourself as to say one of them?"
58086Have you anything to send to Helstonleigh?"
58086Have you ever come across that Godfrey Pitman?"
58086Have you forgotten me?
58086Have you got your work finished?"
58086Have you just come up to town?"
58086Have you money for the journey?"
58086Have you read his book?"
58086Have you reed these reviews?"
58086Have you seen Roland lately?"
58086Have you?"
58086He was a true friend, a true, good friend to you and to me: what crime against us had he committed, that you should treat him like this?"
58086He----""Did you know him, witness?"
58086Head bailiff?"
58086How am I to live?"
58086How are the two mothers?"
58086How are you getting on yourself, Gerald?"
58086How are you getting on, Butterby?
58086How came it to be done?
58086How could I tell I might afford to bring one, Gerald?
58086How could he pamper himself up with rich food, when so many within a stone''s throw were pining for want of bread?
58086How dare you disobey?"
58086How dare you?"
58086How did Mr. Yorke like it?
58086How does she know he did n''t?
58086How had it invoked this requital?
58086How is Sir Vincent going on?
58086How long have you been home from Port Natal?"
58086How many innocent people have you taken into custody lately?"
58086How much is it?
58086How was it William Ollivera was so late in coming down?"
58086How''s that?"
58086How, and where, and in what manner had he disappeared?
58086Hurst?"
58086Hush it up?
58086I did not hear what was said; the door was shut----""Were they both men''s voices?"
58086I mean, why should she fancy it?
58086I say, Mr. Brown, why do you wear a wig?"
58086I say, Mrs. Jenkins, do you remember the toasted muffins that Jenkins would n''t eat?"
58086I say, are you not soon going to be married?
58086I say, how about poor Charley?
58086I say, shall you ever pitch upon the right one?"
58086I say, what are you staring at?"
58086I say,"and Roland dropped his voice to a mysterious whisper,"is not Annabel like her?
58086I should like to ask you a question-- was it by accident or purposed design that you came to our house as a clerk?"
58086I suppose you could not make it convenient to meet them for me at Paddington, Hamish?"
58086I wonder if I could get it by going round?
58086I wonder if any of them would take me on, and give me a couple of guineas a- week, or so?
58086I wonder if self- conceit is indigenous to you literary men?
58086I wonder if you happened to see him here?
58086I wonder what brought her to London?"
58086I wonder which would be_ right_ to do?
58086I wonder-- I wonder whether Dick Yorke would let me have a couple of pounds?"
58086If any----""What d''ye mean by legitimate?"
58086If you are unable to go yourself, why do n''t you ask Roland?
58086If you knew that Pitman was the slayer of your cousin, would you still screen him?"
58086If----""Better for whom?"
58086In anything but a temperate way he now attacked his brother, not saying, Did you steal the cheque?
58086In fact, just when he was on the point of committing the rash act?"
58086Is Pitman found?"
58086Is it Roland?"
58086Is it kind?"
58086Is it true that you are about to take Miss Rye into custody on suspicion of having caused the death of John Ollivera?"
58086Is it well?
58086Is it you?"
58086Is it_ seemly_, Bede-- in this once staid and pattern house?"
58086Is it_ true?_""Why of course it''s true,"she fractiously answered, for the movement had startled her.
58086Is n''t this a prime goose?
58086Is that gruel?
58086Is your state of health the cause?"
58086It had never occurred to him before: why should it have done so now?
58086It has not been long, one day,''to set my house in order,''has it?"
58086It said as plainly as glance could speak,"How dare you presume to betray my confidence?"
58086It''s not much, is it?"
58086J.?"
58086J.?"
58086Jones?"
58086Jones?"
58086Jones?"
58086Jones?"
58086Just afterwards I met you, Kene,--do you remember it?
58086Kitty?"
58086Knew where he''d been, and all that?"
58086Knowing what I did know, could I not have been content to let her go her own way, while I went mine?
58086Let''s see?
58086More coffee?
58086Mr. Bede Greatorex?"
58086Mr. Brown?
58086Nothing to_ me_--when one of the best men that ever lived on earth has been wilfully sent to his grave?
58086Now do n''t you think, Mrs. Jenkins, we might get along with that?"
58086Now then, Hall: did you see him leave last Monday evening?"
58086Now then, are you dry?"
58086Old Dick Yorke?"
58086Ollivera?"
58086Ollivera?"
58086Ollivera?"
58086Ollivera?"
58086Ollivera?"
58086Ollivera?"
58086Ollivera?"
58086Ollivera?"
58086One of the family, I suppose?"
58086Or why should I ask you to read it at all?"
58086Or, was it but a simple question?
58086Ought!--lives there another man on the face of the earth, I wonder, who would not?
58086Our friend the publisher called; and what do you think he told me, Roland?
58086People say to me sometimes,''Why do n''t you go into society?''
58086Perhaps he had wiped them off beforehand?"
58086Perhaps it''s one of the two gentlemen?"
58086Poison?"
58086Roland?"
58086She looks one, does she not?
58086Such was the inward soliloquy of Mr. Roland Yorke as he bent over his writing after that overwhelming question of Hurst''s,"Did you take it?"
58086Suppose I go over the case again?"
58086That you knew it at the time?"
58086That''s sure to prove a success, I suppose?"
58086The divine light( is it too much to call it so?)
58086The doubt was, how to get it?
58086The first-- done in misadventure?
58086The great problem,"What shall be done with these?"
58086The matter with him?
58086The second-- done in malice during a quarrel?
58086The third-- done in planned deliberation?
58086Then why should he_ not_ come pray?
58086Thin?
58086To speak it aloud to all who ought to hear it?"
58086To what end the never- ceasing toil and care?
58086Tod is in the army: do you remember him?
58086Upon this manuscript----"What was it that happened?
58086Was Arthur_ lost_, then?
58086Was Mrs. Gerald Yorke''s deceit excusable?
58086Was Roland telling the truth?
58086Was Sir Vincent purposely annoying him?
58086Was he more seriously ill than he allowed them to know?
58086Was he to have_ two_ lives on his soul?
58086Was it a fit?"
58086Was it for this he had come back?
58086Was it man or woman; was it an inmate of the house, or not an inmate?
58086Was it so?"
58086Was she not daft, though, to go and take up again with that miserable William Yorke?"
58086Was the deceased in any kind of embarrassment, so far as your cognizance goes, pecuniary, or else?"
58086We want to know where you sent him to?"
58086Well, young lady, what now?"
58086What I wish to ask is, when Arthur Channing is coming up here?"
58086What became of him?
58086What boat?"
58086What brings her name Jones?
58086What brings you here so early?"
58086What brings you in London again?"
58086What brought him back?"
58086What can I do in it?
58086What could have been his motive?"
58086What could have taken Arthur out again?
58086What did I nearly die of?
58086What did Sir Vincent want with you?
58086What do the reviews say?
58086What do you do up here?"
58086What do you think of that?"
58086What do you think?
58086What do you think?"
58086What do you want Godfrey Pitman out of the way for?"
58086What else, do you suppose, could have happened to him?
58086What for?"
58086What had he done to be shown up to the public; a butt for any, that would, to pitch scorn at?
58086What had he done to you?
58086What had he ever done to you in life that you should so requite him?"
58086What had he or his book done that they should be so reviled?
58086What harm does it do to her?"
58086What has been my motive, do you suppose, in coming here, but to live under the same roof that shelters you?
58086What has the man done to you, that you should put in your word against his coming in?"
58086What if this persistent officer, denied to him, betook himself and his news to Mr. Greatorex?
58086What is it that you want with him?"
58086What is the English of this?
58086What made him die?"
58086What next?"
58086What of that?
58086What on earth are you stopping there for?
58086What on earth induced you to go and do it?"
58086What should I care?
58086What time was it?"
58086What would they have been without the rouge?
58086What''s his motive in keeping dark?
58086What''s his name?"
58086What''s this, that''s up about Ollivera?"
58086What, I say, if I tell you it was I did that terrible deed?
58086Whatever''s that?"
58086When are you going back?"
58086When did he come back from Paris?"
58086When did it come?
58086When he made that remark about his uncle, Sir Richard, I said to him,''Did you take the cheque?''
58086When people remark to me,''Your son Bede looks ill,''I quietly answer''Do you think so?''
58086When was the great Butterby at fault?
58086When will his book be out?"
58086Whence, then, that grey look on his father''s face?--the haggard mouth, the troubled, shrinking eyes going searchingly out to Bede''s?
58086Where are your wits gone, that you need ask?
58086Where did he come from?"
58086Where had his steps halted?
58086Where is he staying?"
58086Where is your objection, sir, to the doubt of him being mentioned to your father?"
58086Where was Arthur now?
58086Where was the use of Hamish Channing''s patient industry, his persevering endurance, his burning the midnight candle, to bring forth_ this_ fruit?
58086Where''s the good of taunting me in private?"
58086Where''s the little thing?"
58086Where''s the use of a country''s having its police at all, unless they can do better than that?"
58086Where''s the use of asking senseless questions?
58086Which do you mean?"
58086Which is prettiest?"
58086Which is to be my place?"
58086Which of them-- that is, which work-- would be the most successful?
58086Which room is he in?"
58086Who are they?"
58086Who cashed it at the bank?
58086Who did that thing?
58086Who is it?"
58086Who is there?
58086Who is to do it?"
58086Who is to know that he did not open his pocketbook in the train, coming up, and some thief caught sight of the notes, and dodged him?
58086Who on earth is it walking about overhead?
58086Who took it, sir?"
58086Who was Godfrey Pitman?
58086Who was it?"
58086Who was this Butterby, that he should be continually crossing his peace?
58086Who?"
58086Why could n''t he have kept his father and Parson Ollivera quiet?
58086Why did he go and tell Arthur he should send him to London, if he did n''t mean to?"
58086Why do n''t you answer grand''ma about John?"
58086Why do n''t you go and tell them?"
58086Why do they dress in this way?"
58086Why do you ask?
58086Why do you ask?"
58086Why should Ollivera come to him?"
58086Why should she be, I wonder?
58086Why should you think of him?"
58086Why should_ he_ take it?"
58086Why was this?
58086Why, Annabel, who else in the world, but you, do you suppose I''d marry?"
58086Why, what are you talking of?
58086Why?"
58086Will he do well?
58086Will you promise this?
58086Will you work with me in this, so as to keep suspicion from my father?
58086William Ollivera?"
58086Would Gerald have to answer for it at the Great Day of Reckoning?
58086Would it lead to further discovery?
58086Would you be afraid to encounter the two hundred a year?"
58086Would you believe that he took them for himself on the spot?"
58086Would you face_ that?_""I can not tell,"wailed Alletha, putting up her thin hand to her troubled face.
58086Yorke?"
58086Yorke?"
58086Yorke?"
58086Yorke?"
58086Yorke?"
58086Yorke?"
58086You have breakfasted?"
58086You have known her a long while: will you not stretch a point to save it?"
58086You keep harping on that same string, about Mr. Ollivera; what grounds have you for it?"
58086You might have made a fortune and dissipated it?"
58086You saw no one, except the persons mentioned, go in or come out; no stranger?"
58086You understand?"
58086You will see mamma?"
58086You''d not mind her teaching a little, would you, Hamish, while I was waiting for the skies to rain gold?"
58086You''d not think it, would you, William Yorke?"
58086You''ll cook for me?"
58086You''ll not mind trying it, will you?"
58086You''ll try it presently?"
58086You''ve heard about me, I suppose, Butterby?"
58086You''ve not got her outside, I suppose?
58086You-- you-- don''t think he could have been murdered for it?"
58086_ Do_ you think I should be fit for my post unless I had more''cute discretion about me than ordinary folks, such as-- excuse me-- you?
58086_ How_ should Bede get through this?
58086_ What_ was he to do with them when they came?
58086are_ you_ here again?
58086are_ you_ taking up that crotchet, Butterby?"
58086at what point had he turned aside?
58086could n''t I just see Hamish?
58086do n''t you see the obligation I lie under to this man, George Winter?
58086he inwardly said,"or has he lost all control over his wife''s actions?"
58086he resumed, with quite a burst of excitement, his eyes beaming, his face glowing,"who''ll be at the loss of the money?
58086if you are conveyed to Helstonleigh it would be to take your trial at the next assizes?
58086is that you?"
58086or Mr. Yorke, do you mean?"
58086or is it fancy?"
58086say what he must say, and yet not say too much?
58086what brings you sitting up so late as this?"
58086what was the leading cause?
58086what would the best of''em not confess to, to screen a sweetheart?
58086what''s the matter now?"
58086what''s the matter with your eyes?"
58086who are they from?"
58086who are you sir?
58086who''s this?"
58086you do not doubt that she is innocent?"
